The Minnesota Vikings were the latest team to succumb to a wild Tim Tebow/Denver Broncos comeback, but they put together some impressive numbers nonetheless. Percy Harvin was a major star of the game as he finished the day with 156 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The Vikings have cut back Harvin's return duties but he is showing an ability to pick it up in the passing game.
One area he did not get as much production in as some hoped was as a change of pace running back. When Adrian Peterson sprained his ankle, Toby Gerhart took over as the starting running back. When Gerhart has made spot starts in the past, Harvin has served as his backup. Against the Broncos, Harvin rushed five times for 19 yards to go along with his big receiving day.
There remains tremendous upside with Harvin in part because of his work in the rushing game. He did not put up big numbers against Denver, but the more touches he gets on offense, the better for fantasy owners. If he continues in this role, he is very likely to break a big run one of these days. He is a very solid start for the foreseeable future.

Mom T-Shirts
Moms have one of the greatest and most challenging jobs in the world. They often get the benefit of spending more time with their children than anyone else, but with that comes the huge responsibility of shepherding their hearts.
There are many parenting styles and things that the world says are important for moms to teach their children. But no matter what they say, we know the most important thing we can teach them: the love of God and our need for a Savior.
Childhood is such an important time to be teaching children about Christ and His unending love for us. Recent surveys have found that nearly two-thirds of born-again Christians made a decision for Christ by or before age 18. A lot of that time moms are the biggest influence on them. Take advantage of the time while you have it.
A great way to start creatively living out your faith in front of your children is to wear a T-shirt that will remind you and them of the Good News found in the scriptures.
Mom Needs Chocolate T-Shirt
We all have those days when everything is going crazy. That might be a good moment for our Faith, Hope, Love, and Chocolate T-shirt. Mom will be reminded that we are called to embody the Fruits of the Spirit, which includes patience, among others—but a little chocolate never hurt either.
Mom's Dance and Praise T-Shirt
Kids love music and especially dancing with Mom. Maybe our Dance, Sing, Praise, Live, Love T-shirt would be just the encouragement you need as a mom to get up and dance and sing to your favorite Christian music with your kids. Kids are like sponges, and you never know what they are going to pick up from the songs you are singing together; make sure it's something you want them to remember.
This well-designed T-shirt, while modest and carrying a biblical message, would most likely be an "approved Mom" T-shirt by even teens and tweens. But no promises—they can be finicky. Either way, you are sure to love the design and the Bible verse it is based on—Psalm 104:33: "I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live" (NIV). If that could be the legacy we leave with our children as moms, then the rest is bonus.
I'm a Christian Mom T-Shirt
Some days are hard as moms. Sometimes moms need a little encouragement to keep going. For those days, our "So Glad I'm a Christian Mom" T-shirt brings a little reminder from Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (NKJV). That is such an important reminder, that we are called to be faithful but that God is the One who supplies the strength to carry on. God will give you what you need to be the mom He has called you to be.
So whether you want to encourage yourself in biblical motherhood or you want to encourage a wonderful mom in your life, Mom T-shirts from Kerusso are a great solution. Check out our whole line of T-shirts for women and bless a mom today.

The Tennessee Department of Correction is warning the public of an apparent scam targeting families of inmates.
TDOC says several families have received calls from someone claiming to represent the Comptroller's Office and offering to help release inmates from prison. The caller then asks the family to send two large sums of money through Western Union.
TDOC says the only way a convicted felon serving a prison sentence can be released is by reaching the end of their sentence, release by parole, probation or through a court order. The department will never ask families to submit payments through Western Union.
Anyone who receives one of the phone calls is asked to contact TDOC at (615) 741-7144.

Price nabs milestone on grand stage
Rays rookie pitches out of jam in 11th for first big league victory
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rookie David Price watched the first five-plus hours of Saturday's game from his seat in the bullpen, occasionally sneaking into the clubhouse's back room to down a Red Bull energy drink. One by one, he watched relievers from both Boston and Tampa Bay enter Game 2 of the American League Championship Series, until the Rays' bullpen had dwindled to just Price and right-hander Edwin Jackson.
"I knew I was going in at some point," Price said.
But not anytime on Saturday.
Price's long-awaited bullpen call came after 1 a.m. ET, with the score deadlocked, 8-8, and Boston threatening with one out and a runner on first base in the 11th inning. Three batters later, Price had wriggled out of the jam, securing his first Major League victory -- albeit a postseason one, when the Rays scored in the bottom of the inning. He became the first pitcher to win a postseason game before his first regular-season victory since Josh Kinney of the Cards beat the Mets in Game 2 of the 2006 NLCS.
The 9-8 win wasn't just a big moment for Price. It was a must-win for the Rays, who evened the ALCS as it shifts to Boston.
"He's a guy that wants the ball out there, and it doesn't matter the situation," said reliever Dan Wheeler, who tossed a gutsy 3 1/3 innings before Price took the hill. "He's so excited every day to be here ... and to make some big pitches and get out of that jam, I was so happy for him to get the 'W' right there."
The Rays' top pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft, Price flew through the Minors less than four months after his professional debut, getting a callup to the big leagues on Sept. 13.
But securing Saturday's win wasn't exactly smooth sailing.
Price walked his first batter, Jed Lowrie, to give the Red Sox a pair of baserunners and put the tying run in scoring position. Catcher Dioner Navarro came out to the mound and told Price to relax and just hit the mitt. First baseman Carlos Pena joined the pow-wow, and told Price to block out the sellout crowd and pretend that he was throwing a backyard bullpen session with his dad.
"These guys just know how to make people really feel comfortable," Price said.
"Obviously, [Saturday night] has greater emphasis than any other game I've ever played in. But yeah, I just did try to put it in perspective. And it's still 60 feet, six inches to home plate. So I guess it's the same thing I've been doing for 22 years."
By the next batter, Price had settled in and was back to seeing that familiar swing-and-miss. The powerful lefty fanned Boston's Mark Kotsay and got Coco Crisp to ground out to squash the Red Sox's extra-inning threat.
"He's ready," Navarro said. "I mean he's good to be in this place. He's going to be an unbelievable help for us through the whole postseason."
Price is the fourth pitcher all-time to earn his first Major League win in the postseaon, joining Kinney; the Angels' Francisco Rodriguez, who beat the Yankees in Game 2 of the 2002 ALDS; and Odalis Perez, who beat the Cubs in Game 2 of the 1998 NLDS while he was with the Braves.
? Afterward, a smiling but visibly drained Price admitted the game felt every bit as long as its official five hours and 27 minutes.
But that wait was nothing when compared to the 23 years he longed for the customary beer shower he received postgame from his teammates.
"In October, there's different heroes every day," fellow rookie Evan Longoria said. "The biggest guy today was probably Price being able to come in and shut the door and get that win."

On 7/26/07, the Senate rejected, by a vote of 50-44, an amendment introduced by Senator Alexander (R-TN) to the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill for 2008 (H.R. 2638) that would have made $300 million available to States to carry out the Real ID Act.
This amendment would have provided a small fraction of the total funding cost to states to implement the unworkable Real ID Act, which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) states will cost $23.1 billion to implement. Furthermore, this amendment was offered at a time when many states are engaged in an all-out revolt against the Real ID Act; calling it an unfunded mandate.
Later in the day, the Senate passed an amendment introduced by Senator Sanders (I-VT), by a vote of 51-43, which bars the use of newly appropriated DHS funds for regulations related to H-2B visas. The proposed rule would streamline the current burdensome process for filling short-term jobs, making it more responsive to urgent workforce needs while maintaining appropriate labor market and security safeguards.

Text & Textiles: Crafting the Lives of Guy and Irene Buzzard
Exhibition & HAPA Conference Opening Reception: Friday, April 11, 7-9pm, Atrium
Huck embroidery on a guest towel by Robert Guy Buzzard, 1953; Buzzard Textiles Collection, Tarble Arts Center permanent collection.
Guy and Irene Buzzard, Eastern's third presidential family, shared a passion for handicraft and textile arts. The objects they collected and produced reflect many of the great changes of the twentieth century. This exhibition explores how they crafted their lives together for over fifty years. The exhibition draws from the Buzzard textiles collection within the Tarble's folk arts collection, and from the EIU Archives in Booth Library. Created for the Tarble by the 2014 EIU Historical Administration graduate students; Malgorzata Rymsza-Pawlowska of the EIU History Department and Tarble Curator of Education Kit Morice are the supervising curators.
Tarble Director Michael Watts to Retire
After 28 years as Director of the Tarble Arts Center I am announcing my retirement from Eastern Illinois University. A national search to select the Tarble's new director will be initiated later this summer. I will be off this June and July, but will return in August to serve until the new director is selected. The goal is to have the new director in place as of January 2015.
I have been thinking about retirement for a few years. Between the recent changes in the state's pension system and the fact that my wife, Barb, is retiring at the end of the 2014 school year, the time seems right. I have greatly enjoyed my time at the Tarble, thanks to the cooperation and support from scores of individuals, on-campus and off, and most especially due to the continued, amazing generosity of the Newton E. Tarble family. But more about that later. For now I plan to do some research over the summer, and am looking forward to return for the exhibition Ansel Adams: Masterworks that opens at the Tarble on August 16th.

(WMC-TV) - Two men are in custody after reportedly leading police on a chase through three different states.
Darrell James Varner, 26, of St. Louis was arrested for resisting arrest by fleeing, receiving stolen property and armed criminal action. Joseph Lamon Fuller, 32, of St. Louis was arrested on a charge of receiving stolen property.
The chase started after police say the two men robbed a T-Mobile store on Stage Road in Memphis. The men drove with law enforcement on their tails for 99 miles, over the I-40 bridge into Arkansas, before peeling off near Osceola and giving way to Arkansas state troopers.
They were later joined by Missouri state troopers, who finally put an end to it all by using spike strips. Investigators say the driver nearly hit a trooper when he swerved trying to avoid the strips.
The chase ended in Pemiscot County, Missouri on I-55.
Deputies spent much of the afternoon searching for evidence they believe was tossed out the window during the pursuit.
Nobody was injured and the suspects' identities have not been released, but they could face charges in several counties.

Trying Something New
Hi y'all:
Thought I would try something new with the latest addition to the Cub Manual Server.
As usual, there are the "jpeg's", but this time I included an HTML document which means now you do not have to view one jpeg at a time. They all load at once.
Already had a dialup account check it and it didn't cause too many problems.
Here is what I would like - please let me know how you like this format. It should be easier to skim a manual to see what you are looking for. Feedback from both highspeed and dialup users will be appreciated.
So for the manual - it is the GSS-1053 Mower Cutter Bars - All Models Blue Ribbon Service Manual.
If you have a Cub-22 or any IH Sickle Bar Mower, this manual is just what you need to maintain that mower bar.
Let me know what you all think.

Rudi, That is vunderful. I am on dial-up webtv as you know and that is the most legible reading and clearest pictures that I have seen on your site. I have a lot of trouble viewing most of the jpegs so I rarely visit. PDF is not compatible for me either. SO, when you got nothing to do Ha-Ha you can change em all to HTML. (Just-kidding) You can go back to your chores now.
Then came Bronson
Rudi when can you get them all changed????
That's a super good job. I guess its to cold out side up there so just stay on the computer and have your wife bring you meals to you. Just kidding! I really like it allot. Keep up the good work.
Young man for work, old man for advice
JohnBron: No, my username has nothing to do with a dog. My last name is Finney and my wife (then girlfriend) nicknamed my twin brother and I Findoggy 1 and Findoggy 2. Why, I don't know...I don't try to understand women and the way their minds work. The name has stuck.
Well Findoggy, That explains it all clearly. I, like you, will not try to understand a womans thinking but I guess they do actually have a reason for what go`s on upstairs under all that hair. "LOL"
Then came Bronson
Rudi, you are "The Man". That is so much more convienient. Keep up the good work!
Ken, Annie the '48 Cub & 1282 Cub Cadet.
I think we gotter if'n she don't kick, Andy Griffith.
OK so maybe I'm slow, maybe because my computer is a MAC, I dunno. But I can't find it!!
I click on Rudi's "Cub Manuals" Icon in his sig. Then where do I go?
I thought it would be under the "Blue Ribbin" link but it's not.
Can someone give me the links to follow
Guy: try this, Rudi
I would put an img tag on it, but I don't want to clutter up the board. It should work from this link. But seriously, I really would like to find out why Mac's are having problems with the site.... makes no sense -- Steven Job are you out there listening?
'55 Cub, (but always shopp'n!) '02 Kub, '57 Ford 640
Guy, After you click on the Blue Ribbon link go to
"GSS-1053 Mower Cutter Bars - All
and it is at the bottom under the title "HTML".
Then came Bronson
OK, this is the life of someone on a MAC system.
As I said in my other post, when I go to the "Blue Ribbon" link the file is not there. That's using Apple's "Safari" browser. If I use Explorer it shows up!
OH by the way Rudi, good idea. Worked great once I found it.
'55 Cub, (but always shopp'n!) '02 Kub, '57 Ford 640
On my slow dial-up, it took a bit... so I downloaded it while doing something else. The quality was much better! I don't know if it can be printed out in a hard copy. I just saved it to my hard drive last night and opened it this morning. All that was there was pages of red X's. I'll try again later. If we can save the pages somehow, they will be much better.
Your effort is appreciated!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I really appreciate it. I guess we have found a new format. As I do manuals, I will post jpeg's and html docs at the same time. This way, the jpeg's can be called up individually when needed (to include in posts for instance).
JB: I know you are on webtv and it is difficult for you to navigate the server. I will try to get all the files turned over to html documents, but it will take a while. I still have about 20 more manuals to scan. Most of them are parts manuals, and I won't be scanning the whole manual, just the sections on Cubs. Once that is done, I will have a little more time to work on the docs.
Still have Em's china hutch to restore - not been going well - too much time spent on my Cub's and not enough on the hutch..... gettin into trouble with the better half

Peruvian women, in 'fulbito Andino,' find light in the darkness
The players of Churubamba recognize their third-class status as descendants of indigenous peasantry and hand tillers of nutrient-depleted earth, subject to the whims of plate tectonics and brutal winter microclimates. They speak Quechua, the Inca language, and almost no Spanish. Left back Juana Estrada Huamán, 36, tends to five children—including a terminally ill six-year-old son—18 sheep, llamas and a quarter-acre plot of beans, potatoes and wheat. They live in darkness, without electricity. Lugging 40lb loads more than 13,000ft above sea level offers a never-ending training routine but, as Juana reflects, little joy:
The football world beyond our mountains we do not know. We do not know who plays there, who are the best players, what they wear and the rules that everyone follows. We only play in order to have some happy moments, to have fun. Of technique and tactics we do not understand much. But we play with our hearts, with all our will. And that brings us together into a single force. That is football for us.
Churubamba's women walk up to 16km for Sunday village friendlies, then turn around and walk back. Practical considerations help inspire growth in the indigenous women's game. Enlightened officials recognize that women foster community contact and stimulate the economy on a micro level. Matches become festival occasions. Winners receive seed potatoes or chickens or guinea pigs, a Quechua delicacy when fried, in tribute.
From their football passions the women draw voice and confidence. From travel they see that others in the country are not as poor or underserved as they are. Using their skirts to assist with ball control, the women, in Churubamba at least, feel that they play more relaxed than men, with more laughter. At the Lima tournament in December, a reporter from the state wire service favorably compared the 72 participating women to the national selection and commented sardonically on the men's history of "more frustrations than successes."
Do strides toward gender equality in football help create a more just society? Perhaps a more enlightened one. Poetess Varela died Mar 12 last year. She represented a cluster of female writers, including Giovanna Pollarolo (see 6 Oct 08), who broached football as a literary subject in order to challenge gender stereotypes.
Granddaughter Camila de Szyszlo, accepting an award on Varela's behalf in Madrid in 2007, mentioned her grandmother's love of good football in the same breath as Varela's appreciation for Brazilian telenovelas and the songs of Bob Dylan.

Go ahead and bury your heads in the sand folks, violent crime is increasing exponentially in the Tri-Valley area (ALL OVER REALLY) if you read the newspapers and police reports. Why you may ask? Well, first and foremost we have a population of underemployed and unskilled and more who keep pouring into this country and are hungry and desperate. When there are more people without jobs, crime will increase. Even the current spin doctor President can't solve it, nor can our local law enforcement. We won't have enough police to stop it in the very near future. Sorry to be so negative, but reality is a tough pill to swallow.

Sorry, Louise, but you are incorrect. According to the FBI, violent crime in our country decreased in 2011, for the fifth straight year. So, America is actually becoming safer.

As this is our largest suitcase used in over 40 years of extensive travel, we had some initial concerns about overall weight and durability of it. When fully packed it was very heavy and if not for the young, strong back of my companion, it would have been too difficult to maneuver through Europe's train stations and systems or lift into car trunks. The four wheels did make moving this monster around relatively easy when on smooth, hard surfaced flooring. Though challenging, this "new" suitcase was treated as carefully as possible and we avoided dragging it up stairs and curbs, so that when we returned home, it looked like new. The one major disconcertating complaint we have is that when packed, the zipper closures were insufficient to keep the two halves of the case stable and they shifted continuously, though no damage to our belongings ensued. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase after one 15 day European trip and especially like the bright and attractive blue color as it is so easy to spot on the airports' luggage carousels.
These suitcases have now completed their first round trip and performed exactly as I expected. Despite the abuse they received from baggage handlers, foul weather and my brother's dogs, they look nearly brand new. We were able to stuff 10 days of cold-weather clothes, several pairs of boots, Christmas gifts and other miscellaneous items into the rugged bags. The wheels had to traverse all kids of terrain at airports, homes, and hotels and never once gave us a problem. If you are at all like me and are tired of buying "high end" soft-sided luggage only to have handles, wheels and zippers be broken by baggage handlers, then these bags are just right for you.
This luggage was great for our trip from Boston to Taiwan, which was 20 hours in flight, and then from Taiwan to Japan, then Japan to Boston. It not only fitted my husband and half of our son's belongings, it arrived at our destinations without much scratch. Wheels worked very well-- in fact it was perfect if you have to wheel 2 pieces of luggage by yourself. You can have another luggage with the rollerblade wheels and this one with spinner wheels, and you can push this one ahead of you while dragging the other one behind you.
Love the spinner. It helped get us throgh the crowded airports with ease.
I find this piece of luggage to be an amazing addition to my travels. It's very easy to roll, especially for its size!
Due to the "poor handling" of my Brand new suitcase, United Airways gave me the purchase value (thank heavens I had a receipt) of my 3 day old suitcase after totally destroying it on its first trip. I replaced it with this suitcase and hope that this one will not be a victim of stupid baggage handlers!!!
good quality and arrived on time..i am very satisfied
Needed a large hard side suitcase for a trip. While the price was certainly right, and the size is great, it's a very basic case with no real features. The inside panels are not separated by zippers or anything I've seen before. There is 1 divider that "clips" into place on one half of the inside, and there are 2 elastic holds on the other to hold some items in place. Other than that , there are no other features. The closure zipper is expandable but seems a bit too flexible. I guess I will have to see how long it holds up. It comes with a zipper lock, but it isn't TSA approved.
The suitcase arrived at the house quickly after placing my order. No external or internal damage visible. I love the bright gold color as it will be highly visible in the baggage claim area. I purchased this large bag for my daughter who will be traveling to Japan for a semester in Tokyo and she has a lot of clothes!!! We will see how it holds ip to international travel soon.
This item is very durable, very easy mobility, lightweight, and just overall a great product! I definitely recommend this piece of luggage to consumers! A++++++++++++

Activities - there just isn't enough going on during the day. The theatre showed a movie on the first day only and then nothing, it was closed during the day. A daily movie would certainly help pass the time. Bingo at 3.30 (minimum 22 dollar fee) was about all, except the Art auctions every day where you could watch everyone NOT buying any art.
Gymnasium - this is small and unless you go in the morning or afternoon you will not be able to use any of the equipment.
Eating - the Windjammer cafe was good with an excellent choice however be warned at breakfast it is jammed and we often had to take our food outside onto the pool area and eat in the chilly windy weather. We did discover however that you can have breakfast in the formal dining room (between 6.30 - 9.00 which was a little early for us) or you can have it delivered to your room free of charge after 7.00 am.
Lunch was not a problem and there was plenty of room during the long sitting. You can also go into the formal dining room for a "30 minutes express lunch sitting" or eat in the inside pool area (although this tended to be burgers, hot dogs and fries).
King and I dining room - we chose the second sitting (9.00 pm) and this is too late, particularly when you have been trying to fill your time during the day - also we missed a lot of the evening entertainment. The formal nights are not really formal, don't think you need a jacket, tie, dress etc. I wore trousers and a blouse, my hubby wore a shirt and trousers just as on the other nights. Food at night is fantastic and service is really good.
Cabins Don't use the water provided as they charge you $5 per bottle. At the pool area there is a machine providing ice water and coffee all day and night. Just get a glass of water to take to your room
Bars The Schooner Bar was were we spent most evenings as the other area Top Hat Lounge was permanently empty, just a few couples dancing. What a shame they could have made much more of this space - dancing classes or shows. We had the Cocktail of the Day at $6 but after a few days were getting suspicious that there wasn't actually any alcohol in these. I switched to a rum based cocktail and this confirmed my suspicions. The cocktails are in a large plastic tub in the kitchen which is ready made up, presumably with little or no alcohol. So if cocktails are your thing, go to the bar yourself and watch the waiter making one up for you - I can recommend the B52s !
Entertainment Again we were disappointed with this - 2 x "reps shows", a magician and a comedy singer. My husband enjoyed the Beatlemania show though.
All in all we felt the company were always trying to get more money out of you, even the daily talks about the ports of calls were laced with shopping tips where you could spend your money or organised excursions which cost a fortune. We always did our own thing and there was little information about this.
Ship itself felt just the right size for us, the cabins were spacious and there were plenty of opportunities for eating and drinking. I don't think we would use Royal Carribean again, but we will try cruising again but in a warmer part of the year.
Happy Cruising!

The editor of The Daily Tar Heel wrote in Thursday's editions that a story earlier in the week addressing the impact of Durham residents on Chapel Hill crime lacked context.
Tuesday's article, "Durham crime crossing over into Chapel Hill," was published in time for the five-year anniversary of former student body president, Eve Carson. She was murdered by two men who lived in Durham on March 5, 2008.
The article sparked outrage among some readers. As DTH editor Andy Thomason acknowledged, many who responded online believed the article "played into the stereotype that Durham is a scary place that UNC students should avoid."
Thomason wrote that was not the intent of the article. Thomason said the article was "an opportunity to analyze how often crime in Chapel Hill results in the arrests of Durham residents."
Overall, Thomason admitted the story lacked context.
"This is not an excuse," Thomason said in his response. "As journalists, we should have ensured that no angle was left unaddressed, especially on an issue of such importance. We didn't do that, and that was wrong."
The DTH article analyzed 10 years of Chapel Hill Police records and wrote that "about one-fifth of local robberies, murders, kidnappings, rapes and affrays come from Durham."
The article suggested that Chapel Hill's status as a wealthier community made it a target for Durham criminals. The DTH also reported that of Chapel Hill's 15 murders or attempted murders over the last 10 years, seven were committed by residents of Durham.
However, the DTH quoted Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall as saying most Orange County crimes are committed by county residents, but about a fourth of the robbery and assault cases his office is prosecuting involve residents of Durham.
You can read the editor's full response here.

Mahan stepped on his foot twice messing up two plays. His "pass pro" amounts to backing up when touched so there is no pocked to step up into. I know this substitution is bugging me more than it should, but he makes those around him worse. Keep out of guard positions. And if he can play center get him there, and if he can't beat out Wade let him go.
Was anyone else surprised to hear the announcer say that Gruden told them Joseph would be the best OL in Buc history. Wow, I wonder if he forgot about Gruber. I hope Muir didn't tell him that.

Cake Design Inspiration: Nadyas Cakes and Bakes
This weeks cake design inspiration comes from Nadyas Cakes and Bakes. I searched for something that was just different and I found it in this cake. I originally saw this cake on Pinterest and I loved the hand painting a long with the technique that was used to make the cherry blossoms look 3D.
This cake obviously has a Japanese influence. I love how unique it is and how the hand painting looks organic. I've never seen a cake like this before. There should be more of them in the world.
I hope that you all have a great week.

Cake Design Inspiration: Petalsweet Cakes
I was browsing through Petalsweet Cakes Facebook page and came across this cake. Jacqueline did a great on this cake which is almost all decorated in green gumpaste hydrangea's.
This cake is Jacqueline's interpretation of Mr. Grasshopper from James and the Giant Peach. With a feminine touch, Mr. Grasshopper came to life.
I hope that you will check out Petalsweet Cakes other creations on their Facebook page.

Fondant Painting Video
I wanted to share this great video from McGreevy Cakes on fondant painting. So much can be done with fondant besides covering a cake or creating letters. Shawna really shows you step by step how you can create your own fondant painting. The details in this painting are spot on and I enjoyed watching it.
I hope that everyone has had a great weekend.

Classic Pie Dough Recipe
Hi Everyone,
I baked a peach cobbler over the weekend and wanted to share with you the recipe that I use for pie crust. This recipe does use shortening, but that's why the crust is so flaky. This crust will compliment most pies well and is fairly easy to make. I use my kitchen aid stand mixer and that makes the process much easier.
I wasn't able to take any pictures of the process. Sorry about that.
1 1/4 cups all - purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
6 tbs (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter (cut into 1 inch pieces)
1/4 cup shortening (Crisco butter flavor)
2-3 Tbs cold water as needed
Yields one 9 inch pie crust
1. Put flour, salt, and sugar in the kitchen aid stand mixer bowl. Mix on low for a few minutes until all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Add butter to bowl and use a dough blender to cut the butter into the mixture, afterwards the butter will be into course pieces.
3. With the dough hook mix all ingredients together starting on a low speed and increase to medium speed as needed.
4. Add shortening and mix on low speed until all ingredients are incorporated.
5. Slowly drizzle the water into the dough mixture with the speed on low. This is what brings it all together.
6. Dough is ready to be taken out of mixing bowl when you can insert a finger and no dough sticks.
7. Lightly knead dough for a few minutes on a floured surface. Place in a flat disk and refrigerate for an hour or more before rolling out dough.
I hope that you all enjoyed this blog post. Have a great week.

What Baking Has Taught Me?
Frequent baking and cake decorating came at just the right time in my life. It was just after my Dad passed away in September 2011 and I needed something to take my mind off of things and to bring me relaxation, if only temporary. Below is a list of 5 things that baking has taught me.
1. Relaxation
Baking has been a real therapeutic hobby for me. When I am baking I am in my own world and I love baking things that taste and look good. It may seem odd, but measuring and creating an edible treat is very relaxing to me.
2. Creativity
I have always been a creative person who loves photography and playing the clarinet. Baking added another creative talent to my list. It's something that I can do in the comfort of my home whenever I want.
3. Patience
Bakng has brought a new aspect to the word patience for me. Whether it be waiting for a cake to bake or waiting for dough to rise, patience is a big part of baking that is necessary.
4. Love
I bake to share and I put love into everything that I create. It is something about making someone's favorite dessert and seeing a smile on their face that I love. I have given desserts to hair dressers, family, and friends.
5. Friendship
I have made several baking friends through the one hobby that we all have in common. From recipe swaps to cookie exchanges there is something to be learned from them all.
What has baking taught you?
Have a great week.

Cake stands can not only be used for cakes, but to display baked goods such as cupcakes, mini pies, and cake pops.
Polka Dot Cake Stand
This polka dot cake stand from Google would be great for any occassion such as birthday parties, baby showers, and bridal showers. These cake stands come in many color schemes and are not too heavy. They can be found in your local store such as Target.
Pewter Cake Stand
A romantic feel comes from this pewter cake stand from the blog, A Realistic Wedding . I can see the rose petals surrounding it with a beautiful wedding cake on top for all of your guests to see.
DIY Cake Stand
This cake stand with it's mix of bold and mascuine colors is from the Craft Addiction Blog where you will find all things related to DIY and crafts. This particular cake stand is made from tart pans and candlesticks that were spray painted.
Natural Wood Cupcake Stand
I love the simplicity and the use of nature in this cupcake stand that I found featured on Cupcakes Take The Cake . The different tiers allow for multiple display stations and I love how the natural wood grain shines through.
Porcelain Cake Stand
This porcelain cake stand from Gracie China Cupcake Stand is a cheaper alternative to the Lenox porcelain cake stands that I have seen. It is just as beautiful, but not as hard on your wallet.
I hope that you have found some inspiration for your next cake display. I had a lot of fun preparing this blog post.

First-time buyers offered 95% mortgages
After years of waiting and frustration, first time house buyers are once more being offered mortgages that lend 95% of the cost of a home.
It's one of a series of measures being rolled out to kickstart the housing market.
But how much will it help the thousands of people who are desperate to get their feet on the bottom rung of the housing ladder? Our business correspondent Carole Green has been trying to find out.

Key Subtractions
K P.Dawson, TE B.Watson,WR J.Cribbs, LB S.Fujita,CB S.Brown, WR M.Massaquoi
The Cleveland Browns are starting over… again.
After another disappointing season in Cleveland that saw the team finish last in the AFC North at 5-11, the Browns have hit the reset button with a brand new coaching staff and retooled roster.
Leading the changes is new head coach Rob Chudzinki who is the Browns fourth head coach in the last six years and was actually the team's offensive coordinator the last time they had a winning record, way back in 2007.
Chudzinski spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator with the Carolina Panthers.
Joining him on the Browns revamped coaching staff are Norv Turner as offensive coordinator and Ray Horton as defensive coordinator.
The team also made a splash in free agency this season with the biggest addition being dynamic young pass rusher Paul Kruger who the team signed away from Baltimore for $8 million a season.
The Browns offence has nowhere to go but up after finishing near the bottom of the NFL in points, yards and rushing last year.
If they are going to improve though they will need their two first round draft picks from 2012 in running back Trent Richardson and quarterback Brandon Weeden to make some major strides in their second NFL campaigns.
With Richardson, the Browns just need him to stay healthy. Richardson showed up to camp banged up last year and played much of his rookie season with broken ribs and also dealt with knee problems.
Still, he managed to rush for 950 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Now they need him to shed the injury-prone label and improve on his 3.6 yards per carry average.
He should get help with the latter from the Browns solid young offensive line which should be able to open up some decent holes for Richardson. The line anchored by left tackle Joe Thomas is the one area of the offence doesn't have to worry about, ranking 5th in TSN.ca's pre-season rankings.
Solid blocking up front will also help Weeden who showed some potential last year throwing for 3,385 yards but was also fairly mistake prone and completely outshone by fellow rookie pivots Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson.
Turner, the team's new OC, also has a solid track record of developing young quarterbacks and he Browns say that Weeden has greatly improved his footwork, quickness and the speed of his delivery.
Now Weeden has to prove that he can translate that improvement into game day success or else he could wind up losing his job to one of the veteran.
Unfortunately for Weeden, he likely won't get a ton of help from his receiving corps. Josh Gordon and Greg Little have both shown flashes of promise in their young careers but neither is anything close to a true No. 1 receiver. Gordon is also set to miss the first two weeks of the season as he serves a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's drug policy.
The team did however bring in possession receiver Davone Bess who should be something of a safety valve for Weeden and tight end Jordan Cameron could be poised for a breakout year.
Turner is going to give Weeden the chance to succeeed but if he can't do it, don't be surprised if the team decides to cut bait sooner than later and turn to one of their newly signed veteran backups in Jason Campbell and Brodie Hoyer.
Campbell has the type of big arm that Turner loves and GM Michael Lombardi is particularly fond of Hoyer.
While the Browns still have some major holes on offence, they should, at the very least, be less predictable and more fun to watch with Turner calling the plays. (-TSN.ca)
Analysis: The Browns only had five draft picks in 2013 and they spent four of them adding to their promising young defence... With the addition of Mingo, the Browns' front seven may be one of the best in the league. They are also a very underrated bunch. Mingo has a chance to be a devastating pass rusher off the edge... McFadden will see the field this year, the only question is will it be on the outside or the slot in a sub package. He could be a strong nickel corner if they choose to use him inside... Slaughter and Bryant will both be projects, drafted in the sixth and seventh rounds. (-TSN.ca)
With Ray Horton taking over from Dick Jauron, the Browns are switching to a hybrid 3-4 system and figure to be a much more aggressive team defensively in 2013.
Ravens (11-5)
Division Winner, solid season
Bengals (10-6)
5th in AFC, wildcard berth
Steelers (9-7)
6th in AFC, wildcard berth
Browns (6-10)
Almost there, but tough division
Horton will bring pressure from all over, use more movement and give opposing offences several different looks.
The biggest improvement the Browns should see this season defensively is in the pass rush. Paul Kruger was a big free agent get and he, along with sixth overall pick Barkevious Mingo and Quentin Groves, should give opposing quarterbacks plenty of headaches.
The Browns will be counting on their front seven heavily this season to help mask a suspect secondary outside of cornerback Joe Haden.
Haden is one of the best corners in football and looks poised to have an excellent 2013 campaign. The opposite side of the field however could be a problem.
Rookie third round pick Leon McFadden was projected as the team's starter but looked very raw in camp and could lose snaps to free agent pickup Chris Owens and even Buster Skrine.
After five seasons of winning either four or five games a season, the Browns figure to be better in 2013, but not much. This is a team with a good coaching staff and a more talented roster, but in a very tough division that likely won't see them back over .500 or anywhere close to the playoffs. (-TSN.ca)

The Browns' passing game has a long way to go, which isn't helped by WR Josh Gordon, who was a big-play threat as a rookie, being suspended for a couple of games for failed drug tests, so that makes Gordon and fellow wideouts Greg Little and Davone Bess depth options in the fantasy game and QB Brandon Weeden is near the bottom of the QB spectrum.
Get ready for the fantasy season with the latest from TSN.ca.Rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | DEFFantasy Schedules: AFC | NFC2013 Auction Values: Cheat SheetFantasy Depth Charts: AFC | NFC
While the passing game is a work in progress, RB Trent Richardson could be among the league's most productive backs. He gained 1,317 yards from scrimmage and scored 12 touchdowns as a rookie and if the Browns are going to have any kind of offensive consistency this year, it's likely going to fall on Richardson to handle the bulk of that responsibility.
LB D'Qwell Jackson is a premier defensive option, racking up a lot of tackles, but also contributing sacks and interceptions (7 and 3, respectively, over the last two seasons). DL Ahtyba Rubin makes enough tackles to hold down a fantasy roster spot, but that's about it for players of interest. CB Joe Haden is a great cover corner and if he's getting picks could be valuable enough for fantasy purposes too. (-Scott Cullen)

Through his first three UFC fights, Justin Edwards had hardly distinguished himself in the octagon. He lost two of his first three, and had gone to a decision each time.
Somehow, he ended up on the main card of UFC on FX 5, and in his biggest opportunity, Edwards delivered.
The 29-year-old welterweight choked Josh Neer unconscious in a first-round technical submission. The fight took only 45 seconds.
Edwards said he was aware that Neer likes to bait fighters with guillotines, but felt he had the squeeze to close him out. That was the case as they clinched early and Edwards started the choke from a standing position. Neer tried to defend and they fell to the mat, and quickly thereafter, the referee realized Neer was out and the finish was called.
Edwards had come into the UFC with the nickname "Fast Eddy" for his propensity to finish in a flash. All of his six fights before signing with the promotion ended in the first round, with four of them lasting less than a minute.
"I thought it was going to be a very exciting fight," he said. "I thought it would be a fast pace and I didn't think it'd end that early."
Edwards is now 8-2 overall while Neer is now 33-12-1.

... ..., 11.5.2006
Your Help is Needed
Since last Summer I have also worked as a coordinating editor of Southeast
Asia for documenta 12 magazine, which is an ambitious project that will
bring magazines (both printed perodcals and on-line media ) into an art
context to connect theory and practise, and the audience and artists for
documenta 12, and beyond, as it is forming also a permanent network of
magazines from all over the world.
During my research in Southeast Asia, I've come across many brilliant and
intelligent editors who are striving to serve the community by providing
citizens with accurate information, critical analysis and educational
materials in a region
where democracy is not yet the norm??"not one of the ASEAN nations has an
impeccable reputation for democracy, and freedom of expression is extremely
democracy, especially after the big movements in 1973, 1976, and 1992??"a long
battle that required many sacrifices and tremendous efforts of different
civic groups and people in the media and in education. These efforts made it
possible for people to grow up as educated and informed citizens. It is
these educated citizens, who have started to question the long-term effect
of what is called Thaksinomics under Prime Minster Thaksin Shinawatra. They
form the core of the recent campaign to oust the prime minister. At the same
time, these same citizens are debating what methods are appropriate, because
some methods would be counter to democracy. Debates, discussions and forums
have sprung up in numerous places. It was a great pleasure for me to meet
the editors of printed periodicals and online media who have provided the
citizens with the basis for those forums, and the basis for thought. The
team of "documenta 12 magazines" has been looking forward to work with them
for the documenta magazine project.
One of those magazine editors, however, has recently been charged by the
Thai police with lese majeste. His political quarterly, "Fah Diew Kan"
(Under the same sky), has been banned. The latest issue of the magazine is
about the Thai monarchy and this issue was targeted. Lese majeste has been
use as a political tool, but recently under the Thaksin government the
number of cases have increased. Most of the countries in the world today do
not prosecute their citizens for lese majeste. Thailand is thus an
exception, and this charge against the editor is an exceptional one as well.
When I researched the situation of printed periodicals and online media in
Thailand, I found that magazines that address thought-provoking topics and
contain serious articles of quality such as this are a strong asset of, and
for, the country. The same publisher publishes books on peace studies and
designed a highly educational exhibition about the political history of
Thailand. The issue focusing on the Thai monarchy was also intended to
educate citizens and to provide information on that institution from
perspectives very different from the very official one??"a topic that is
usually avoided by most of the
publishers and editors, who prefer to play it safe. It was thus courageous
for the publisher to take on the issue, and now he is paying a price.
But does he have to? If we step up the pressure from the international
community, it will surely affect the decision of the
Thai Ministry of Interior. In the past, the case of lese majeste charges
against the prominent thinker and engaged Buddhist Sulak Sivaraksa, whose
interview article on the monarchy has been published in the banned edition
of "Fah Diew Kan," caught international attention and he won the cases with
the help of international pressure (the latest report says that because of
the interview article he is now facing a third charge of lese majeste). In
Thailand, four journalistic associations ??"the Thai Journalists Association,
the Thai Broadcast Journalists Association, the Press Council of Thailand,
and the Economic Reporters Association??"have launched a campaign to bolster
press freedom and freedom of expression. And in this particular case of "Fah
Diew Kan," Asian Human Rights Commission has launched an urgent action (see
Borders (Reporters sans fronti??res) expressed dismay (http://
in Thailand. These recent cases of lese majeste charge against Fah Diew Kan
and other anti-Thaksin campaigners sparked into a movement for the
constitutional amendment on the clause of lese majeste.
Georg Sch?¶llhammer, the chief editor of the "documenta magazines" and I
agreed to form a campaign group "Friends of Fah Diew Kan" in an immediate
action. We would like to appeal to our fellow citizens to join the group in
order to exert pressure to the Thai government to lift the ban of the
magazine and the charge against its publisher/editor Thanapol Eawasakul.
What can you do:
Please collect the petitions in your circle. How you do it? After you
explain what it is for, your friend can send you a message "Please lift the
ban of Fah Diew Kan Oct-Dec 05 issue, and lift the charge of lese majeste on
Thanapol Eawasakul, the publisher/editor of the Fah Diew Kan" together with
his/her name and/or the name of the organization. If there is any further
statement to the Thai government, that's welcome and if there is any message
to the publisher/editor Thanapol Eawasakul, that's welcome, too. You can
collect them in your capacity, can be three, five, or ten. Usually an
organization is more effective than an individual name for an international
pressure like this, but if you cannot find any organization that agrees to
sign the petition, any individual who agrees with it is fine. After you
collect them, please send all to:
Caution: When you do it, please write a subject as "Fah Diew Kan".

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story: I was at school, going about my normal routine, not knowing the devastation that American's would have to endure. I was in Computer Essentials when I heard the news, our teacher had the tv on so we would be aware of what was happening. The events did not become a reality to me until I got home that day, why would anyone do such a thing?
Life Changed: My life, like eveeryones else's life changed after September 11th. I began to appreciate our country, freedom, and liberty. I also began to be more aware of our government and how it works.
Should be remembered: The most important thing that people should remember about September 11th is the many lives that were lost. The famlies of the firefighters, passengers of the airplanes, and of those who worked inside of the Twin Towers.
Flag: My family did fly an American flag at our home, eventhough we live in the country and nobody could see it. My feelings toward the American flag have n ot changed, but I do hold a much stronger respect for the Old Glory.

Eaters (AKA Eaters: Rise of the Dead)
Rated: Not Rated
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Horror
Street Date: March 5, 2013
Available On: DVD
The Film: An epidemic started by a crazed religious leader has transformed most of the world into flesh-hungry zombies and has caused all the women to go sterile. Caught in the middle of the chaos a pair of zombie hunters help a mad scientist in his efforts to find a cure.
The Extras: Making-Of Featurette
Recommendation: Presented by Uwe Boll this low-budget Italian zombie film is better than you might think, but not quite a return to the glory days of Italian exploitation. The story features some of the traditional genre clichés, but does introduce a few unexpected elements. Unfortunately it also has quite a few slow moments where the less-than-stellar dialogue bogs things down (the awful English dub doesn't help, I'd stick to the original Italian soundtrack). The gore is decent, and while the use of green screen here and there isn't always convincing the results are far more impressive than the terrible digital work in "Osombie." If you're a rabid zombie devotee "Eaters" is worth a look.
