@KevinPeffer (7) vs. @cmjax88 (10)
I met @KevinPeffer at a Bold City Brigade event and he's a great guy. He's a passionate Jaguars fan who has the nerve to sport a half-beard look on his avi. Is he on #TeamBeard or #TeamShave? Some say he should pick a side. I say a good politician never picks sides during a competition. It was a power move. Anyway, he's out here on twitter chanting his Jaguars love.
"Duval til we die. Duval to the end. Standing united with all of our friends. 'Cause we love the #Jaguars, our colors are true...— Peffer (@KevinPeffer) March 23, 2013
Plus, he contributed #duvalthings to the twitter world. Big points, there.
I met the underdog in this matchup the same night I met @KevinPeffer. He was real nice said he liked my twitter account which instantly wins him points here. I kind of like that I sometimes have to shield my computer screen from my kids when his tweets show up on my timeline. It's exciting. F-bombs and nude pics fly by, occasionally. I like that he seems aware of his twitter realities.
My girlfriend talked of getting a twitter yesterday. If she ever got one and followed me I'll be single in no time.— Poon Diver (@cmjax88) March 15, 2013
This one is close...
The 10-seed sweep is complete.
@MadeByTim (1) vs. @Gr3g3 (16)
This bracket started as a joke, but @MadeByTim was enthusiastic about it.
@downerjagfan @unclechaps @tealtalk screw that Jeremy guy. MAKE A BRACKET— Tim M. (@MadeByTim) March 20, 2013
Enthusiasm about my ideas earns a 1-seed. Anyway, @MadeByTim is THE source for visual Jaguars entertainment. From Vito T-shirt mock-ups to Matte black helmet mock-ups @MadeByTim is on point.
#JAGUARS DIAMOND DAVE. imgur.com/PiAahYH— Tim M. (@MadeByTim) March 20, 2013
@Gr3g3 is an underdog here but he has some game. He made it through the play-in round before he unleashed his full Jaguars fan resume. He's reppin' the Jags up in Rochester, NY which takes some commitment. This guy bleeds teal and actually has a copy of Jack Del Rio's old playbook.
@downerjagfan This was my playbook. twitter.com/Gr3g3/status/3…— Greg Francati (@Gr3g3) March 24, 2013
In the end, the 1-seed is too much for the underdog, here.
@MinorThreads (4) vs. @SeanKopitsky (13)
Why did @MinorThreads get a 4-seed? Well, you probably either have a @MinorThreads shirt or you've seen them. We're talking about the creators of the RUN MJD and KHAN YOU DIG IT shirts and many others. The shirts just keep coming and they are fantastic. To make this bid even more deserved, this came yesterday:
@downerjagfan i decided that I'll be making a shirt for anyone who I go up against as we'll as a special 1 for the winner of the tournament!— Minor Thread (@MinorThreads) March 23, 2013
@SeanKopitsky is a passionate Jaguars fan up in Pennsylvania. He's got vintage old logo Jaguars wallpaper on his twitter page and supports the team through thick and thin. He's a Homeland Security major which gives me pause here. i don't want him to "Patriot Act" me if he loses.
Done with intro....let's do some shooting!!!— Sean Kopitsky (@SeanKopitsky) March 23, 2013
I'm unfazed by the fear, though...
@FeelTheTeal (1) vs. @fake_JackDelRio (16)
@FeelTheTeal earned his way into the top seed. He is an active Champions Club member who hooks people up with Jags tickets. He's been relocating folks and welcoming new Season Ticket holders into the fold like crazy this offseason. He seems to know everybody and tweets some inside information often. Honestly, hanging out with @FeelTheTeal before the Bears game this past season was a highlight moment at EverBank Field for me this year.
He keeps his Jaguars love and love for this city positive and fun.
I am working on 4 more new #Jaguars season tix holders for the @boldcitybrigade Zone. I cannot wait to see the NEZ on gamedays.— FeelTheTeal (@FeelTheTeal) March 21, 2013
@fake_JackDelRio is a true dark horse. He's a play-in 16th seed with a questionable history of jaguars passion. He pulled it out late versus @kaitlynross1 in the play-in with his "1 -playoff win" resume. Will that be enough when facing a 1-seed?
March 23, 2013
This seems like an easy choice, but every story needs a villain and @FeelTheTeal wins at a lot of things.
Here's your villain..
@ndyWillis (5) vs. @Vincent_Jubito (12)
@ndyWillis is an intense Jaguars fan who shows his passion with all available resources -- including puppets. He's a self-described "Twitter vigilante" and cleverly incorporates the "@" symbol into his twitter handle. He's trying to bring Geno Smith to Jacksonville and is always trying to broaden his horizons.
Wow. I normally don't read unless it has pictures. This Shad article is great.— @ndy (@ndyWillis) March 20, 2013
@Vincent_Jubito single-handedly disproves the theory that you have to choose between Gator tickets and jaguars tickets. He's got both. He's always feeding me great news articles on the Jags and obviously knows how to enjoy sports at home:
@bwwingsI have a 4 tv man cave with open bar. Sorry Bw2 see you for Wrestlemaina .— Vincent Jubito ®(@Vincent_Jubito) March 24, 2013
In the end, I'm a sucker for puppets...
@JagsTom (3) vs. @DamnItsPham (14)
I met @JagsTom and introduced myself last year. Since then, he's the only guy that has used my real name in tweets, totally blowing my cover. If my wife finds out who DJF really is, I'll be in trouble as much as I make fun of her on twitter. Anyway, @JagsTom is so much of a fan "Jags" is in his handle and he's a regular contributor to BCC's Spanish Language Commentary.
One might say I have a bowler's physique.— Thomas [Any Surname] (@JagsTom) March 24, 2013
@DamnItsPham has a great handle. It makes me wish I had a name that rhymes with damn. However, he's also an intense Jaguars fan. He's in college supporting the Jags with passion. He may be young, but he's no idealistic, blind fan:
These referees must have partied hard last night.— Alex Pham™ (@DamnItsPham) March 24, 2013
@JagsTom played the sympathy card and it's heart warming.
I will be playing on behalf of @methadonephil, who is dying. Even though his lifestyle is what's killing him, this twitter bracket's for him— Thomas [Any Surname] (@JagsTom) March 23, 2013
But the real reason he advances is that I'm hoping for a house Chablis the next time I visit Bennigan's White Wine and Tapas
@caseyayers (4) vs. @JDAVEP2 (13)
I watched @caseyayers stand up at a fan forum and ask Mark Lamping if Khan could send his private planes on a fly-over this year. Solid question, solid fan credentials. His work on London Trip packages warrants heavy consideration, not to mention he made a big decision, at a big time, early in life:
Christmas '98: Told Santa he's wearing the wrong colors. Time to give up that Patriots life, get on #Jaguars wagon. twitter.com/caseyayers/sta…— Casey Ayers (@caseyayers) March 23, 2013
@JDAVEP2 goes by SUPERCAT and I like it. He's DTWD and isn't on twitter for popularity, just for the Jags. He also has the ability to come up with appropriate acronyms for signage on game Day:
This one might put me over the top #BOLD #Jagsfanbracket @downerjagfan @caseyayers @boldcitybrigade #Jaguars twitter.com/JDAVEP2/status…— SUPERCAT (@JDAVEP2) March 23, 2013
@JDAVEP2 put out a VERY impressive resume last night, but I can't get past this freaking shield pic:
Don't believe @duffyindustries? Here's more proof. Shields, nephews. Shields. #Jaguars twitter.com/caseyayers/sta…— Casey Ayers (@caseyayers) March 18, 2013
@BurritoBrosShit (3) vs. @Prophessional (14)
I don't exactly know why @BurritoBrosShit chose that handle but it speaks to me. I love it when Vito has a twitter conversation with him. I imagine Vito speaking his handle and I like it. @BurritoBrosShit gives an unfiltered opinion on the Jags and life itself.
You should not follow me for health and fitness advice because I treat my body like a rent-a-car.— BurritoBrosShits (@BurritoBrosShit) March 23, 2013
@Prophessional has a good handle, too. I'm digging most of what's in his bio: UNF grad. Jaguars season ticket holder...Spend way too much time watching movies, playing videogames..." He's sporting a Bold City Brigade sticker on his license plate and his confidence is impressive.
I'm a 14 seed in @downerjagfan's #JagsFanBracket! Look out @burritobrosshit, upset alert! :P #jaguars #marchmadness— Trey D. (@Prophessional) March 24, 2013
This one comes down to how I still like to pull up BBS's gif of Khan swording Gene and watch it for kicks.

DENISON, TX -- Police arrest a Denison woman after they say she stabbed her boyfriend.
51-year old Debra Ann Haggin was arrested after a Denison man, who police say claimed to be her boyfriend at the time, told them that he had been stabbed by Haggin early Monday morning.
It happened at a house on the 1600 block of South Austin.
Haggin admitted to stabbing the man, but said it was because he had assaulted her. However, police say they found no evidence supporting that claim.
Haggin is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

"The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"
Dr. Carl Sagan,1934-1996
The battle over the use of dental amalgams has raged on since the early 1800's and continues to this day to be debated along with the need for chelation by all the experts.
If you asked your dentist about those "silver" fillings or amalgams being toxic you would probably hear the standard ADA (American Dental Association) response,
"Not when used in combination with other metals, such as silver, tin, and copper. These other metals react with the mercury and it becomes biologically inactive." Thus the term amalgam.
When you ask if chewing gum or eating will release mercury vapor in the body,the ADA and or your dentist will likely reply,
"Recent advances in both equipment and measurement techniques have allowed researchers to detect extremely low levels of mercury and no evidence of minute amounts mercury vapor having any toxic effects."
Just watch this video of the famous
smoking tooth
which clearly Shows Mercury vapor emanating from an extracted tooth.
These and any statements like them are totally false and flies in the face of common since!
First combining mercury with other metals is merely diluting mercury with other metals combined to make a dynamic solid. This or any combination of metals still allows the release of elemental mercury molecules and considering that the World Health Organization (WHO) states;
"There is no known safe levels of mercury for humans."
Why would anyone attempt to claim there is no danger from this centuries old procedure?
Mercury even in the smallest amounts entering the human body inflicts harm by damaging every enzyme system and every structure of every cell!
Some examples of what mercury can cause:
Kills healthy cells
Damages brain cells and CNS
Generates high levels reactive oxygen species (ROS) free radicals
Disrupts endocrine system-pituitary, adrenal, thyroid and thymus glands
Causes kidney malfunction
Causes learning disabilities
Damages Immune system-resulting in autoimmune disorders (fibromyalgia & Lupus)
Just to name a few!
In fact the mercury is the one of the main culprits in
depletion in the body and this effects every cell and needless to say organ of the body.
My goal here is not to rehash the same old argument about dental amalgams, but to get you to consider as we did when it came to my wife's chronic condition, that this may have been the root cause of her fibromyalgia and lupus.
While in the navy my wife in her twenties, had all her dental work cared for or so we thought, and after receiving 7 major fillings of "silver" dental amalgams (called navy clunkers ) it was not many years after that her health began to decline. Some may say just a coincidence, but not when you add all the research we have uncovered over the last several years.
There is currently an unending supply of information anyone can access on this subject as well as the ongoing debate with the ADA, FDA, and environmental groups over the possibility of banning the use of mercury in dental amalgams.
Latest News from FDA ruling on Mercury and Dental Work
Please check out the great websites below and see how serious this issue is, and maybe you to will find some answers for any unexplained health challenges you may be suffering from.
The world's most controversial dentist
Hal A. Huggins DDS, MS,
because of his stand on trying to convince dentistry to stop the use of mercury in fillings. During the past 42 years, Dr. Huggins has lectured over 1400 days in 46 states and 13 foreign countries to professional and lay groups and has given over 1000 radio, TV and print media interviews. He has published over 50 articles concerning nutrition, child growth and development, mercury toxicity, root canals and cavitation.

Dallas Braden returns to Stockton for a rehab start tonight
"I'm going to be the most excited person in that stadium and in that clubhouse, bar none, guaranteed, hands down," Braden said. "I'm going to have to reel it in and understand it's just a rehab start, make sure I feel good and not worry about anything else, but that's going to be hard to do with the city across my chest."
Braden could hardly bend his elbow in the weeks after pitching the perfect game. His flexor tendon was inflamed. His arm felt tight. He played catch only five times in June. Trainers diagnosed him with tendinitis, but Braden said there is no sign of structural damage.
Ports manager Steve Scarsone said the A's would like Braden to throw five innings or about 75 pitches.
Braden last pitched in a California League game on July 30, 2006, with the Ports. Braden was assigned to Stockton in 2005 and 2006, compiling a 8-0 record with a 3.49 ERA (22 ER/56.2 IP) in 10 career starts for the Ports. He struck out a total of 81 batters as well in his Ports career, including 64 in the 2005 season. He was named the A's Organizational Pitcher of the Year for his performance in Stockton and Double-A Midland in 2005.
Joe Girardi and Phil Hughes, good news — not that many people saw the late-inning collapse
(Josh Outman and Corey Wimberly "get it.")
Paul Lukas on how MLB went from stirrups to pajama pants
All of which makes today's young players associate the high-cuffed style with crotchety old fuddy-duddies who told them how to dress a certain way. Once they make it to the majors, they want to leave that style behind, just like they stop wearing double-earflapped batting helmets. And if a player doesn't feel that way himself, he'll often face peer pressure from teammates. Check out this quote from David Wright's blog in 2006 (yes, Wright had a blog): "The veterans on the team give me a hard time about it when I wear the pants up. ... I guess the general feeling is that the pants-up look is a high school or college type of style. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there's a high value on looking and acting like a professional in this clubhouse."
Of course, "looking like a professional" is in the eye of the beholder, but you get the larger point. (As an aside, Wright now has one of the strangest pants protocols in the bigs: Since 2008, he's gone high-cuffed for day games and low-cuffed for night games, an odd system that he's never explained except to say, "That's just how I like to do it.")
The Warriors have been SOLD! ... but not to Larry Ellison
People are using the internet to get high? What?
At least, that's what Oklahoma News 9 is reporting about a phenomenon called "i-dosing," which involves finding an online dealer who can hook you up with "digital drugs" that get you high through your headphones.
And officials are taking it seriously.
"Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places," Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward told News 9.
I-dosing involves donning headphones and listening to "music" — largely a droning noise — which the sites peddling the sounds promise will get you high. Teens are listening to such tracks as "Gates of Hades," which is available on YouTube gratis (yes, the first one is always free).

News: Katt Williams Goes Missing In Seattle, Police Search For Troubled Comedian
Wednesday, Dec 12, 2012 6:06PM
Troubled comedian Katt Williams is reportedly a wanted man in the state of Washington with reports claiming an arrest warrant got issued today (December 12).
Details of Katt's latest legal woes surfaced online early Wednesday.
Katt Williams is officially a wanted man ... because a Seattle judge just issued a warrant for the comedian's arrest. Katt didn't show for his arraignment today on assault, harassment, and obstruction charges stemming from his bar fight in Seattle on December 2nd. TMZ broke the story ... Katt was arrested following the fight, during which he allegedly threatened a bar manager with a pool cue ... and threw a cigarette at a woman. A rep for the Washington State Attorney's office says Katt's attorney was there, and claimed his client didn't attend due to a "medical issue." That excuse didn't fly with the judge ... who immediately issued the bench warrant. (TMZ)
Reports of what allegedly went down with Williams' Seattle bar fight came to light a couple weeks ago.
Officers were called to the World Sports Grille near 9th Avenue North and Westlake Avenue around 2:30 p.m. to investigate a report involving Williams and a bar patron. According to the Seattle Police Department, Williams, who was in town to perform a show at the Parmount Theater, exchanged words with patrons at the bar and brandished a pool cue at the bar manager. Williams also allegedly flicked a cigarette at a woman in a car. When officers tried to arrest Williams, he allegedly struggled and refused. He was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of assault, harassment and obstruction. (Q13 Fox Seattle)
A police spokesperson also provided details on the incident following his arrest.
"During the incident Williams exchanged words with patrons in the bar, brandished a pool cue at a bar manager and refused to leave the business," Spagenthal-Lee said. "At one point during the altercation, Williams followed a family outside of the bar where, as the family got into their car, Williams flicked a cigarette through a car window at a woman, striking her just below her eye. Williams also threw a rock at the family's car." (Seattle Pi)
Prior to a denial from his management team, Katt announced his retirement from stand-up comedy earlier this month.
"I'm just gonna go ahead and announce my retirement from stand-up," Williams said in an interview. "I'm kinda done. This is, yeah, I've already discussed it with my kids. I wasn't really gonna do it on a Seattle street, I was gonna go to Los Angeles and do it in the offices of ICM or Live Nation." (KOMO)

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The Lincoln/Cumberland Co-op girlsŌĆÖ hockey squad had just suffered a tough 5-2 decision to the combined Barrington/Mount Hope/Portsmouth club on Thursday night, March 7, at Brown University.
That, coupled with the LionsŌĆÖ 6-5 double-overtime defeat in the first game of this-best-of-three R.I. Division II Tournament championship series, meant the second-year program hadnŌĆÖt captured its dream of capturing the state crown.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö While the immediate future of Rhode Island high school co-op teams does not appear threatened, concern appears to be mounting about the direction the practice is heading.
A portion of MondayŌĆÖs gathering of the PrincipalsŌĆÖ Committee on Athletics focused on a myriad of topics that have to do with the validity of cooperative programs. The fact-finding mission is already underway -- a committee tasked by the Interscholastic League to weigh the pros and cons of co-ops recently sent out a three-page survey to principals and athletic directors.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Validation that the Providence College menŌĆÖs basketball program is heading in the right direction came Sunday night in the form of receiving a first-round home game in the National Invitational Tournament.
PC will welcome Charlotte to The Dunk Wednesday night for a 7:15 tip. The Friars are seeded fourth in a region while the 49ers of the Atlantic 10 are the fifth seed. WednesdayŌĆÖs winner advances to face the victor of Kentucky-Robert Morris, a contest set for Tuesday night. Second-round NIT matchups are scheduled for March 21-25.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō While his players hooted and hollered inside the dressing room, Burrillville High head coach Steve Daigle tried to explain how his crew ŌĆō after dropping a tough 1-0 decision to Barrington in the first game of this best-of-three R.I. Division I Tournament championship set ŌĆō managed a vastly different scenario on Saturday afternoon.
The hockey program at Mount St. Charles added another championship to its proud heritage on Saturday night after posting a 5-2 victory over La Salle Academy at Brown University's Meehan Auditorium. The victory completes a two-game sweep for the Mounties, who captured their 43rd state title.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Lincoln High sophomore goalkeeper Chris Leclaire had been stationed in his own cage, well over 120 feet away, when his teammates on the Meehan Auditorium ice began a massive celebration.
Fractions of a second before, he had watched junior forward Griffin Hevey knock a routine skimmer from just inside the opponent's blue line at freshman netminder Austin Gemma.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö Whatever Mount St. Charles head coach Dave Belisle told his kids in the dressing room after the second period, it worked wonders.
Or is that an understatement?
The Mounties exploded for five unanswered tallies in the third ŌĆō incredibly in a span of just 9:35 ŌĆō to pummel La Salle Academy, 7-0, in this initial tilt of the best-of-three R.I. Championship Division series at Meehan Auditorium on Friday night.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Though their two teams went a combined 8-24-3 in league play this season, Burrillville and Barrington put on a championship-caliber show Thursday night.
In a contest that went down to the wire, the Eagles got a third-period goal from Michael Lombardi and came up with a huge defensive stand in a frenzied final minute to win Game 1 of the Division I finals, 1-0, at Brown UniversityŌĆÖs Meehan Auditorium. The Broncos will try to push the best-of-three series to a decisive third game when the two teams reconvene Saturday afternoon at 4 oŌĆÖclock.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Lincoln High wasnŌĆÖt at its best against the Prout School on Thursday night.
Not only did the Lions go 0-for-4 on the power play for the game, but during their last man advantage with less than six minutes left, it not only failed to capitalize, but yielded the Crusaders a shorthanded goal.
But thanks largely to the play of sophomore goalie Chris Leclaire and his 28 stunning saves, the Lions survived with a 3-2 verdict over Prout in the initial game of this best-of-three R.I. Division II Tournament championship series at Brown University's Meehan Auditorium.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Fact is, Mount St. Charles Academy chief Dave Belisle likes the way his squad is playing right now.
He admitted being less than ecstatic with the Mounties' 7-4 triumph over Coventry High in the first game of a best-of-three R.I. State Championship semifinal set last Friday night, but couldn't have been more satisfied with their 4-1 victory 24 hours later.
With that sweep, second-seeded MSC earned yet another berth in the state finals, and will take on familiar foe La Salle in the series' initial tilt at Meehan Auditorium at 7:30 p.m., Friday.

December 19, 2004
Irwin County - Investigators have released the identities of three people killed in a wreck Saturday afternoon on a South Georgia highway. Around 5 PM Saturday, 24-year old Charles Young of Fitzgerald was driving East on highway 32, when he crossed over the center line, striking Cecil Roe Busbin and his passenger Nannie Grimes, both of Ocilla. The two vehicles collided head-on near the intersection of Osier Field road, killing all three on impact.
An elderly Brooks County man dies in the hospital after being injured in another wreck. Troopers say 74-year old Lucius Curtis Whitfield was headed west on Ramsey Road in Brooks County around 6:30 Saturday night. His Toyota pick-up truck left the roadway and crashed into the embankment. Whitfield was transported to Archbold Hospital in Thomasville where he was being treated for his injuries. Troopers say he died about six hours later.

On-loan Tottenham Hotspur keeper sidelined for Leyton Orient's trip to Chesterfield
2:44pm Saturday 3rd September 2011 in Latest Football News By Anthony Matthews, Group Sports Editor
On-loan Tottenham Hotspur keeper David Button has been ruled out of this afternoon's League One basement clash between Leyton Orient and Chesterfield at the B2net Stadium.
The stopper sustained a shoulder injury in the dramatic mid-week Carling Cup victory over Bristol Rovers and his place between the posts is taken by Lee Butcher.
Elliot Omozusi also comes into the defence after Scott Cuthbert was ruled out with a calf problem, while the third change from mid-week sees Marc Laird replace Leon McSweeney, who is on the bench.
The pointless O's will be hoping to build on that cup success against a Spireites side who are also still seeking their first league victory and sit one place above today's opponents in the table after picking up just a single point so far.
The hosts lost 2-1 at Exeter City in their last outing and manager John Sheridan makes two changes, giving a debut to French-born winger Alex Mendy, while Jack Lester returns up front. Dean Holden and Scott Boden make way, both dropping to the bench.
Chesterfield: Lee; Talbot, Ford, Grounds, N Smith; Mendy, Allott, Johnson, Whitaker; Lester, Westcarr. Substitutes: Holden, Fleming, Morgan, Boden, Bowery.
Leyton Orient: Butcher; Omozusi, Chorley, Forbes, Daniels; Laird, J Smith, Dawson, Cox; Mooney, Cureton. Substitutes: McSweeney, Porter, Tehoue, Odubajo, Richardson.

Week In Memphis
Well, the blog has been quiet this week. The reason was that I was in Memphis working on the dissertation. And according to policy, I do not announce when I am gone. It was a great week. I met with Dr. Bland. We discussed the major areas for improvement, and what to do moving forward. Having this next step completed feels good. I need to pass it on to some editors, to make some changes, but the research is done for this next stage. Hopefully, we will be finished soon, and I will travel again to defend it. This has been a long process, but a highly beneficial one. It has caused me to grow significantly. This is what schooling is suppose to do. Challenge you to be a better man. It really improves your ability to handle complexity in ministry, which is a huge skill in this line of service. I am glad that I have done this. So hopefully, the blogging will start up again. I have read a few great books recently, and this has stimulated a lot of thinking. It is always nice to be home.

Zone of the Enders 2 HD frame rate issues -- do you think Konami's going to respond to this similar to Silent Hill HD?
Not sure if you've guys heard, but Zone of the Enders 2 HD's frame rate has been reported to be running at 30 FPS for the most part, unlike its PS2 counterpart which -- if I recall correctly, that is -- generally ran 60 frames-per-sec.
It's a downgrade, definitely, especially if you're a huge fan of the original sequel. So I'm wondering: Do you possibly believe Konami's going to "comment" on this, similarly to what happened with the Silent Hill HD collection? Granted, it's not as buggy and almost-unplayable as the latter -- even though I personally don't own a copy, yet -- but the situation feels like it's on the same page. Fact is a lot of people have been cancelling their pre-orders already (both limited and regular editions if I may add) ever since the word got out.

Configuration Drift
In my previous article on the server lifecycle I mentioned ConfigurationDrift, a term that
I've either coined, or I've forgotten where I originally heard, although most likely I got it from the Puppet Labs folks.
Configuration Drift is the phenomenon where running servers in an infrastructure become more and more different as time goes on, due to manual ad-hoc changes and updates, and general entropy.
A nice automated server provisioning process as I've advocated helps ensure machines are consistent when they are created, but during a given machine's lifetime it will drift from the baseline, and from the other machines.
There are two main methods to combat configuration drift. One is to use automated configuration tools such as Puppet or Chef, and run them frequently and repeatedly to keep machines in line. The other is to rebuild machine instances frequently, so that they don't have much time to drift from the baseline.
The challenge with automated configuration tools is that they only manage a subset of a machine's state. Writing and maintaining manifests/recipes/scripts is time consuming, so most teams tend to focus their efforts on automating the most important areas of the system, leaving fairly large gaps.
There are diminishing returns for trying to close these gaps, where you end up spending inordinate amounts of effort to nail down parts of the system that don't change very often, and don't matter very much day to day.
On the other hand, if you rebuild machines frequently enough, you don't need to worry about running configuration updates after provisioning happens. However, this may increase the burden of fairly trivial changes, such as tweaking a web server configuration.
In practice, most infrastructures are probably best off using a combination of these methods. Use automated configuration, continuously updated, for the areas of machine configuration where it gives the most benefit, and also ensure that machines are rebuilt frequently.
The frequency of rebuilds will vary depending on the nature of the
services provided and the infrastructure implementation, and may even
vary for different types of machines. For example, machines that provide
network services such as DNS may be rebuilt weekly, while those which
handle batch processing tasks may be rebuilt on demand.

configuration drift is a term puppet labs has been using for a while now. The advantage of a puppet and chef approach is that you can have "runtime configuration management" meaning that the server is only out of "alignment" for a narrow window in time.
With the full rebuild approach, you only get the assurance with each rebuild.

I've been working on a 1949 Cub I bought a while back and trying to get it read for grass cutting season.
The carb was leaking and I decided to rebuild.
I got a carb rebuild kit and rebuilt it and thought all should be fine, but it still leaks in the same place.
It's leaking from the choke shaft in the carb onto which the butterfly valve is mounted. It leaks from both sides.
This is the shaft that the choke rod is connected to that flaps the butterfly in the air intake passage.
It's like the seals around this shaft on both sides are just worn out.
Has anyone seen this? and does anyone have any suggestions. I sure appreciate the help.

Christian fun

People have said that you can't have fun and be a Christian. They are just plain wrong. Some of the funniest incidents in my life have occurred since I recommitted my life to serving God. Below are a couple stories of some of these funny incidents:
- One church member and I like to pick at each other and I hate to admit this, but she normally gets the better of me. I like to call her Satan and she had a field day when I wore a pink shirt to church. There was even one particular Sunday I was attempting to sing for the church and this lady decided she would hide in the back of the church, in the sound booth, and pick her head up during the service with a Halloween mask on. Needless to say it was a devilish looking mask. Try singing with a straight face after seeing something like that.
But I finally got my revenge on this particular member. The church held a movie night and showed one of the Sherwood Baptist films, Facing the Giants or Fireproof, I can't remember which movie it was. As the movie progressed I got up to go to the restroom and my wife, Amy, went out with one of our sons. Little did I know that at about the same time this church member had also went out. I returned to the movie but decided to take a seat in the back of the sanctuary since Amy had not returned.
As I was sitting there this particular church member returned a few moments after I had taken my seat and attempted to sit down beside me. Unbeknownst to her and me, her husband had also moved during the time we had taken a break from the movie, and guess where he was seated before the break? Right where I was now sitting. The sanctuary was somewhat dark and it took a few moments for your eyes to adjust. As the lady attempted to sit down beside me, she started touching my shoulder and chest area in order to find out exactly where she needed to sit on the row of seats. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she looked up at my smiling and conniving face, which had the appearance of an "I got you" expression. She could not contain her laughter and embarrassment and had to exit the movie again to regain her composure. Upon returning she promptly found a seat beside her husband.
Of course once the movie was finished I proclaimed to the preacher and the congregation that, "I was violated by some dirty old lady during the showing of the movie."
- It is no secret that I enjoy the game of golf. At one point I played drums for the church and had missed a service or two due to business. Brother Ronnie Rentz, my pastor, decided he would attempt to garner my attention about missing church. He found an old golf club and used the club to replace my drumsticks. I guess he thought I had skipped church and went to the golf course.
Now there have been times that I have poked fun at the pastor's height, excuse me let's be politically correct, he is vertically challenged. So the Sunday following the golf club incident, I decided I would get my revenge. As he approached the pulpit that morning he found awaiting him a step stool. I figured it would help the audience be able to see the guy preaching the message.
- Every year during our children's Jam Fest at church, the kids bring canned food for the Appling County Food Bank. To encourage the kids to participate in the food drive there is usually some type of competition between the girls and the boys. The winning prize for the team that brings the most food normally involves some embarrassing moment for the adults who help out with the event. Amy, I and other adults have had to dress up like babies, had goo dumped over our heads, etc. Can you imagine seeing me dressed up like a baby? Trust me I'm one big baby at 6' 4" and 270 pounds.
One year when the boys won the food drive challenge the men (I didn't have anything to do with it honey, well maybe a little bit) mixed up some concoction to pour on the women's heads to represent slime. I don't remember what was in the mixture, but I do recall seeing brown areas in the grass around the church weeks later. That stuff killed the grass. I guess it was a good thing it didn't have the same effect on the women's hair.
These are but a few of the fun incidents that I have experienced as a Christian. Don't fall into the trap that you can't have fun as a Christian. I believe God has a sense of humor; especially when I get up and look in the mirror every morning.

Loved the Christian FUN story...the unnamed church member would not just happen to be Sandra Spivey would it? Sounds just like her, so I had to ask. Keep having FUN! I would not even want to imagine my life without my Christian friends.

The same day conservative Blue Dog Democrats endorsed the job-killing Republican Balanced Budget Amendment, House Democrats led by Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) pushed back against the plan and announced firm opposition. Hoyer, who voted for an amendment in 1995, is now "unapologetically whipping against the 2011 version," which the House will vote on tomorrow. Asked if voting against the BBA would be tough for Democrats, Hoyer slammed Republicans who built up trillions in debt without paying for it when they controlled Congress, Politico reports: "It's not a tough vote to pretend you're going to go for a balanced budget by having something like that on the floor," Hoyer said. "If you want to fight a war — pay for it. If you want to have a prescription drug program — pay for it. … You don't need an amendment to do it."

All Unquiet Things
by Anna Jarzab
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I had a hard time with the alternating points of view. There was times I would be reading, and I would forget if I was reading from Audrey's or Neily's point of view. The mystery of the plot is one to keep you guessing until the last moment. The story is about how keeping secrets leads to terrible events.
The Short of It
Secrets lead to death; mystery unsolved.
The Long of It
Neily first met Carly in middle school. It was his first day interviewing for a very elite and academically challenging program. Carly made him feel at home and they were immediately inseparable. Until Carly decided that she needed a change, years later, and dumped Neily to hang out with her cousin Audrey and the "in" crowd.
Then, one night Carly calls Neily repetitively. He refuses to answer the phone, still pretty pissed about the breakup. Those are phone calls that Neily will beat himself up over for not answering. Carly ends up dead. Murdered.
The police convict Audrey's father for the murder, but Aurdrey doesn't believe it. A year later, she enlists Neily to delve deep into the lies and scandals of the in-crowd to prove her father's innocence and find closure.
The Thoughts about It
All Things Unquiet is told in alternating voices of Neily and Audrey. I found this a bit distracting because the chapters are miniature-sized, but rather we're inside Neily's mind, for say, a hundred or so pages and then all of a sudden we step into Audrey's for twenty or thirty and then back to Neily. (1) By the time I got to Audrey it felt forced and unnatural.
Besides that one gripe, though, the mystery was GREAT. It really had me guessing up until the last page. And then, when it was finally revealed, I was like "OMG, OF COURSE!". Seriously. I don't read enough mysteries to suggest that this is the end-all-be-all, but it was misleading, so that's gotta mean something right?
(1) This is a loose estimation. I could easily pull the book off of the bookshelf for an accurate and precise number, but I'm just that lazy and refuse. *grin*
I don't know how long its been since I've read a good mystery, and I think I had never read a YA murder-mystery before. I absolutely adored this book. The ironic part is I was so sure I had everything figured out. I would totally starve as a detective. The ending shocked me and left me in awe. I was so unprepared of what happened. I believed throughout the whole story and convinced myself that I knew what was going on because there was no way to surprise me with such an obvious plot. Silly me. Should have known better. This book deserves far more praise than what it has gotten.
The writing was incredible. The alternating points of view felt smooth and believable, I love the way she did it. And the characters felt incredibly realistic. The plot was slow-moving, which is also ironic because in one of my last reviews I stated that a slow plot is not always a bad thing. Here is the proof. The pace worked perfectly in this one. I was sometimes desperate, almost willing to step ahead to find out the truth, but that always happens in a mystery.
Overall, it was definitely refreshing to read something different yet still made of awesome. If you enjoy crime stories and contemporary realistic fiction this is the one for you.
Carly has been murderd about a year ago and the murder still haunts her exboyfriend.He wants to find out who killed her once and for all.So does her cousin so they team up and try to find out who killed her and you sure will be surprised who did.
Much more intense than I expected it to be! This looked like it was going to be a generic spoiled-rich-kid mystery, and I'm glad I gave it a chance instead of writing it off.

Courthouse Butte is the humongous looking mesa formation that sits just east of Bell Rock (Oak Creek Villages). There are only a handful of routes on this massive formation. I believe the first ascent was done many years back (early 1900's) by a Flagstaff hiking club, but haven't found any documentation to back this up yet.
Getting There
Park in the main Bell Rock trailhead across from the Bike 'n Bean bike shop. Take good (golf cart quality) wide trail right over to Courthouse Butte.

Business Solutions – For Providers
Our programs are developed to be easy to implement and formatted in a way to allow you to choose what is necessary for your own business.
First Impressions Program
Initial Steps to Awareness, Identification and Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The First Impressions Program was developed to help sleep centers and homecare providers increase awareness and screening for OSA. The program includes modules for training your sales or marketing executives for the "total office call" when working with PCPs or other medical professionals to talk about OSA. In addition, there are support materials to help with implementing screening for OSA within the office and the importance of treatment for a patient with undiagnosed OSA. Providing your patients with a favorable first impression to therapy can positively impact their acceptance of OSA treatment.
Lasting Impressions Therapy Assurance Program
A successful sleep management program can help you achieve and sustain lasting positive outcomes for both your patients and your business. Have you considered implementing bi-level rescue of non compliant OSA patients but did not know where to start? The Lasting Impressions Therapy Assurance Program was developed to help you better understand the process of bi-level therapy for patients with OSA and how you can better identify and treat the non-compliant patient. The program contains educational pieces for your RTs describing the role of bi-level therapy in the non-compliant CPAP patient, follow-up information for those in your company that may be providing customer support services and new materials for patients with OSA. Our Lasting Impressions Therapy Assurance Program is a comprehensive set of tools designed to help you achieve your clinical and business goals for the long-term health of your patients and your company.
Flex Promise Program
Clinical evidence stands behind the Flex Family of pressure relief technologies. Homecare providers, sleep professionals and patients stand behind it, and we stand behind the Flex Family, too. In fact, we'll make you a promise. If any patient is non-compliant on C-Flex or A-Flex, we'll credit the homecare provider 100% of the C-Flex or A-Flex unit purchase price toward the purchase of a Respironics bi-level OSA device with Bi-Flex. Some restrictions apply.
Comfort Series and My Life Series 30-Day Satisfaction Promise Program
The goal of the Comfort Series and My Life Series of masks is to help you fit "100% of your patients, 100% of the time." The program takes our intent one step further-your patient will be satisfied with our mask or we'll replace it. If a patient discontinues use of a program-approved mask in favor of another mask during the first 30 days of use, we will replace the original mask at no charge.
Sleep VIP Program - For Sleep Labs
The first step to lasting positive patient outcomes is to make a good first impression. That is why it is important to provide customers with the products they need in order to successfully and comfortably titrate patients. Respironics' Sleep Ventilation Interface Purchasing (VIP) Program, is specifically designed to provide sleep labs and centers with the best Respironics products and services available. Our VIP program features an affordable purchasing plan that enables you to titrate your patients using reliable and comfortable Comfort Series and My Life masks and accessories.
Certain terms and conditions apply. If you are interested in learning more about these programs, please contact your Respironics Sleep Consultant or Account Manager.

When Governor Haley and other state officials dropped the Department of Revenue tax hack bombshell last Friday, Kay Jones got a serious case of deja vu.
"It was not a pleasant thought," said Jones. "Oh yes, I've been down this road."
Jones and her husband run a medical clinic in Manning.
If you have a particularly long and sharp memory, you might recall their story. It dates back to the late 1990'swhen we first met with Kay and Dr. George Jones at the offices they call Carolina Family Practice.
In a WIS report from February of 1999, Mrs. Jones was trying to figure out how someone possibly living in New York has been able to use her husband's name to pile up charges for goods and services totaling more than $100,000.
"We've contacted just about everyone we know to contact and very little help seems to be on the way," said Dr. George Jones back then.
The couple was trying to stop the damage done by a man who'd stolen the doctor's Social Security number by rummaging through their trash two years earlier.
"Ten, fifteen years ago, it wasn't all that unusual to have that information on office documents," said Kay Jones.
Dr. And Mrs. Jones discovered the man later identified as Lashone Singleton had gone to New York where he used their identities to open multiple lines of credit and buy everything under the sun.
"He bought a car," said Jones. "A lot of the convenience checks that you get in the mail with your credit card statements or from any credit company that you just sign and you get a loan, I think he ended up with about $100,000 that way. But he had a Bloomingdale's account and a Macy's account."
The couple spent years trying to stop the spending spree, clear their financial history and help track down the culprit.
Jones said even some law enforcement agencies didn't take ID theft very seriously back then. She recalled talking to one police agency in New York where an officer told her he couldn't be bothered with her problems because he and his department had murders to solve.
Singleton was eventually caught and served prison time in South Carolina.
Jones said she and the doctor now pay a protection service about $500 a year to prevent any new credit problems.
They've also enrolled in the monitoring program offered by the state following the DOR breach.
She said anyone who hasn't at least signed up for that plan is taking a big risk.
"People are very nonchalant," said Jones. "They don't seem to think this is very important, especially young people. It will affect you for the rest of your life if you don't fix it right now."

On Thursday, April 7th, I attended a panel at our partner organization the MAD Museum titled The New Black: Fashion and Design on Branding Culture. The panel featured three prominent, black figures in the fashion world: Zandile Blay (fashion editor of Essence Magazine and editor of ASD and the Blay Report), Bethann Hardison (legendary model and Editor-At-Large of Vogue Italia), Emil Wilbekin (Managing Editor at Essence.com), and Lola Ogaunnaike (of CNN and is also a well-known writer and television personality).
So yes, I sat there in the Museum auditorium for two hours and listened to these giants debate topics such as branding, empires, entrepreneurs, the internet, and bloggers. Although amazing points and quips were made regarding these ideas (i.e "What's your brand, boo?!" – Emil), they all agreed on one thing: business measures and opinions can truly hinder the growth of a talented designer.
With a shortage of lines by designers of color being sold in stores and mall outlets, the panel members agreed that issues such as little to no investors and illusions of grandeur yield many artists from catapulting to the national/international stage. One obstacle that they discussed in detail was the matter of opinion. In our present day, unless a celebrity places a stamp of approval on a certain look, it may never get noticed or be deemed "hot."For example, nail art is all the craze these days with celebrities. Nails decorated extensively with illustrations of flowers, fruits, and flags (oh my!) are a regular fixture on the red carpet. Yet, this style has been in existence since possibly the early 80s in the inner-cities. It wasn't until stars such as Rihanna and Katy Perry started flaunting them that they are regarded as being "in", and called "art" (and rightfully so).
Like most panel discussions, this one discussed the issues (regarding wearable art and people of color), but offered little to no solutions to these problems. But, this really didn't bother me much. As I looked around the room, I was proud to see so many brown and black faces discussing, explaining, dissecting, and questioning fashion as it pertains to not only our communities but the world.
This is Nail Art btw, for those of you who may be wondering…

This is not at all cake related but so relevant in todays society, which is sad. Bullying seems to be getting worse and worse each year and if I can help just one person with my story then it was well worth it.
I lived in a small town with several elementary schools that merged into one middle school and high school. Elementary school was good to me, I made a bunch of friends and enjoyed my time there. When I entered middle school, it was about the same time that puberty hit. 7th grade wasn't bad, as new friends were being made and everyone warmed up to the idea that it was kind of like starting over. New school, more friends. It wasn't until 8th grade that I started to realize my body was a bit different than other girls my age. I had developed a larger chest (which runs in the family) and I wore baggy clothes to mask my embarrassment of my large chest and the comments I knew I would get from it.
Being of petite frame, a large chest and baggy clothes made me look a lot bigger than I really was. At 4'11" and 117 lbs, I was hardly fat but I remember the words that still cut me like a knife-Porky Pig. I would avoid the boy that called me that through out my entire 8th grade year. Sure you could say, "kids will be kids" or "he probably liked you" but those torments and hurtful comments still stick with me to this day. I would spend the year memorizing the hallways he would be at and the times he would be there and avoid those places like the plague. I was so embarrassed when I would run into him and others would hear what he said. After a tough 8th grade year, I entered high school thinking that maybe things would change and people would grow up a bit. I still wore looser clothing and avoided the kid that instilled such negative thoughts about myself into my mind. He still took every opportunity to make me feel awful but it wasn't until another boy stood up in front of my entire class at the time (I don't remember the class but I remember the comment like it was yesterday) and told me that I needed to go on Jenny Craig that my thoughts about myself reached an all time low. I remember crying at home just wondering what I had done to deserve such mean treatment. From that day forward, I wore tighter clothes and the teasing stopped but the hurtful words stayed in my brain.
At 30, you would think that those words an 8th and 9th grader said to me so many years ago would be a thing of the past, but it is still with me. With me when I look in the mirror, with me when I work out, with me every time a lift a fork to my mouth. I've finally realized, the more I talk about it, the more I can teach others to think before you speak. Really think about how your words affect others, not just in the moment, but for a lifetime. I hope those boys, who I am sure have kids now, never have to deal with their kids being bullied and I hope they teach them to be kind. I find myself terrified that my daughter will be entering the school system next year and I dread the day she comes home in tears because of the actions of another kid, cause we all know, it's bound to happen. At least I know that I will do my part to make sure my daughter doesn't have an ounce of hate in her and that kindness and love speak so much louder than hate!
Until next time,

Dear Bully (a bit off topic)
This is not at all cake related but so relevant in todays society, which is sad. Bullying seems to be getting worse and worse each year and if I can help just one person with my story then it was well worth it.

Flirty 30
Hello again to my faithful followers, all 6 of them ;) I have been a bit MIA lately. I remember last year writing about one of my new years resolutions being to blog more...well that didn't go so well haha. Maybe this year I can try it again (even though it is already 1/4 into the year and this is my first post :/ )
I recently celebrated a milestone birthday, the big 3-0. I can't say that I was thrilled to let my 20's be a thing of the past, but it has proven to be okay so far. I had originally planned this over the top, 50 Shades of Grey themed "dirty 30" birthday bash for myself. Everyone was going to wear gray, have masquerade masks on and we were going to celebrate eating foods that reminded us of the books and the characters that made the book so interesting ;) Submissive Subs, Bow 'tie me up' pasta, red room of pain velvet cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes, soft limits taffy, hard limits candy, you get the point. Well finally I decided, why am I throwing my own party and causing myself stress on my own birthday!?!?! I called the party off and planned on just having a stress free, low key get together with friends and family.
On the Saturday before my birthday, we had some friends visiting from out of town and my friend Jaime and I went to get our nails done. My husband made the appt, which was a little odd, but I didn't think much of it. When we got to the nail salon, the nail tech asked to look at my nails. I wasn't quite sure why she needed to see my nails as I had planned on just getting a quick mani/pedi. She kept pushing getting fake nails to make them longer because I am a biter :) I had just taken a set off and my nails were still thin from it, so I didn't really want to damage them more. Finally Jaime said that Todd insisted I get the fake set. I text Todd asking why I had to get them, because this was MY birthday weekend :) He told me to stop being difficult and to do what he said. I had a nail color all picked out and the tech came out with a printed out nail design based on one of the 50 Shades book covers.
From what I was told, we were going out to dinner as a family to celebrate my upcoming day. I thought maybe he just wanted me to have a piece of the book I loved so much since I wasn't doing the big party. After my nails were dry, the tech led me back to the waxing room. My first thought was, OH GEEZ, NOW WHAT!!!!! Inside the room, she told me to change into a purple dress that had been left there for me (for anyone who hasn't read the books, Anna's favorite dress is purple). On the box of shoes that were also left was a note saying: "Put this on and meet me at home. -Mr. Grey". Then I got to thinking, maybe he is taking me to Seattle ;) I put the dress on and Jaime and I headed back to our house.
When we got back to the house, I did suspiciously look around to see if there were any cars I recognized haha. There weren't of course. When I opened the door, to my surprise, a huge SURPRISE was shouted at me!!!
It took me a while to take everything in. There were all of my closest friends and family, wearing gray, in masks ready to celebrate my 30th. As I looked around, I saw the vanilla and red velvet cupcakes, little wine with gray stripped straws, chocolate "keys to the playroom", submissive subs, sea salt chips, bow "tie me up" pasta!!! Everything I had envisioned for my own party was right in front of me and I didn't have to do any of the work! It was fabulous! My mom put together all the little details of the party, with help from my hubby, aunt and close friends as if she had been in my head! I could not believe all the details and work that they had put into it!
We had a fabulous evening and I felt so special that I got to spend it with all my favorite people! Hope you guys enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed telling you about the party :)
Until next time,

It's Jungle Time
Well it has been a little while since my last post, and for good reason :) My hubby is finally home from a 7 month deployment and my time has been devoted to him and our family for the past month. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy coming up and styling parties (the ideas never stop churning around in my mind). My most recent party was for a dear friend of ours who after years of trying, she and her husband are finally about to welcome their first bundle of joy, a little boy named Ryan.
The mommy and daddy to be had first thought they were not going to find out the gender of the little peanut, so we settled on a gender neutral, safari/jungle theme. After not being able to handle the suspense, they decided to find out the gender and it is a BOY!! I also had the pleasure of designing the cupcakes for their gender reveal party, which I will share in another post.
As for the desserts on the table (the best part of the table), the mommy-to-be wanted Lemon/Blueberry cupcakes. I handmade fondant cupcake toppers that were both 3D and 2D, as well as some that were animal print to go on top of the yummy cakes. The dessert table also had hand dipped marshmallow pops, sugar cookie cut outs shaped like bananas and a small candy buffet.
As for the decor, we hung multi-colored green streamers on the light fixtures to resemble jungle vines and placed baby jungle animals in the center of the tables as well as on the autograph table (that the mommy and daddy-to-be could use in the little guys nursery as well) with green jungle vines around them.
For the games, the guests were greeted with a small pacifier necklace for the "Don't Say Baby" game ( pretty self explanatory, say baby and someone gets your necklace. Person with the most necklaces at the end of the shower wins), and also played "What's in the Diaper" (where guests have to guess what melted candy is in a diaper by smelling, tasting or whatever else someone could come up with), "Mold a Baby" (where guests molded a baby out of play-doh and the daddy-to-be picked the winner) and "Guess how many M&M's are in the bottle" (where guests took a guess on how many M&M's were in a giant bottle, closest to the correct number won).
For the food, sub sandwiches were provided by an AMAZING local sub shop, Hungry Bear Sub Shop. The guests enjoyed the subs, as well as pasta salad, macaroni salad, chips and fruit.
After lunch, the guests enjoyed some swimming in the club house pool and some casual conversation before the Mommy-to-be opened all over her great gifts!
The party turned out great, and was one of the funnest I have done so far. Hope you enjoy all of my crazy ideas!
Until Next Time,

Tangled in FUN!!
Yesterday we celebrated our daughter's 3rd birthday! Hard to believe she is 3 already! I have been working on this party for a few months now and I have to say, it is my best one yet. The details all came together so amazingly and everyone had a really good time! I always love seeing a vision come all together and love seeing it turn out the way it was envisioned.
We started the celebration the day of her birthday and wanted to share her birthday day cake first :)
I started with awesome, homemade invitation inspired by Paging Supermom and designed by Courson Graphics.
The party was held at the Camp Pendleton Arts and Crafts Hobby Shop and the kids got to pick out and paint their own ceramics. We spent time eating, painting and enjoying the company and at the end of the party, we even got a special visit by Rapunzel herself! The ladies at the Hobby Shop went above and beyond and really made the party effortless!
I tried a backdrop for the first time and replicated the mural on Rapunzel's tower wall. It turned out great and really pulled the entire table together. I used some retaining wall bricks to set the custom cupcake/cake tower up higher and to also provide some height for the fruit and cheese and cracker trays. I bought some easels at Michael's to label the foods and used some yellow lilies from our yard, along with some ferns to add a little floral to the table. We braided a long braid using yellow yarn to wind through the table and to also greet the guests as they entered the party room. I used a pennant stencil designed by Courson Graphics and cut out flags of purple felt as well as yellow bursting suns to make a Happy 3rd Birthday banner that hung above the table.
As for the food, we used some fruits and cheese, crackers and salami to stay with the theme as well as some adorable jello boats using blue Jello with a slice of orange and the town flag on a toothpick to act as the canoe Rapunzel and Flynn Rider used to view the floating lanterns. I also tried out ice cream cone cupcakes for the first time and decorated the outside of the cone to look like Rapunzel's tower and piped some purple frosting to act as the roof. I added some colored gumballs and some marshmallow pops with cake pop petals to make them look like flowers to the table.
My favorite part of the party was the cupcakes and cake. I made the cupcake toppers, pulling inspiration from the movie. There were 5 different toppers: Pascal inspired, cast iron skillet, braided hair, paint set and a bursting sun. All the toppers topped off a Lemon Blueberry cupcake that was a new recipe for me and it was very yummy! As for the cake, I decided to try the Ombre style, using 3 different colors to match the purple color scheme. I topped the cake off with the Rapunzel inspired cake topper I had made with a small town square pennant behind her. The cupcakes, as well as the cake were all placed on a custom cupcake/cake stand that I made with a tutu on the bottom tier and the center pillar looking like the tower with braided hair circling the tower.
For the favors, I purchased tiny cast iron skillets online from Ron's Home and Hardware and filled them with custom M&M's with my daughters photo on them. I also purchased some simple, small purple bags from the Dollar Tree and cut out a bursting sun and glued them on the bag to look like the town flag. I filled them with "Rapunzel's Paints", princess lip gloss, comb and mirror, Tangled towel, princess wand, princess book and Tangled gummies. I hand made the party hats using a template I found at Oh Happy Day. I cut them out of purple card stock and attached a yellow card stock bursting sun to go with the theme of the day. I hand braided yellow yarn and attached it coming out of the top of the party hat to look like Rapunzel's hair!
Thank you again to all our amazing friends and family who shared the special day with us! Hope you all enjoy the pics!
Until next time,
Lacey Cakes

Busy Busy!!
I have been quite the busy body the last couple of weeks with my cupcakes toppers. A birthday, tea party, graduation and baby shower have all been on my list of toppers to design and create as well as a special one for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday and a 3D cake topper for my daughters 3rd birthday in a couple weeks.
I gave you all a quick sneak peek of the Starbucks and Twilight inspired toppers a couple weeks ago that I created for my friend Carrie's birthday and added to that with a set of shopping/purse toppers and Iphone inspired toppers. They turned out super cute and I got tons of compliments from the folks at the restaurant where her birthday dinner was held. It's always nice to hear that your work is admired, especially after the hours that go into creating the pieces. I also have been working on more graduation toppers for my upcoming trip to Washington state to see my little cousin graduate from high school. Can't even believe the day has come! I still remember her toothless grin singing LFO's Summer Girls many, many years ago.
My Memorial Day topper is to be revealed the day of and has got to be one of the most detailed toppers I have worked on to date, and the one with the most meaning. It's difficult celebrating holidays without my hubby, but this one is particularly hard because there are so many men and women who haven't and won't come home to their families so that we can spend this holiday BBQing with our families and enjoy the company of the people we love in a free country. On a weekly basis, I hear of ceremonies my husband attends to honor the fallen men and women as they take their final trip back to their families. I can't imagine going through that and that is what this holiday is about. Remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice!
Lastly, I have been working on my first 3D cake topper, inspired by Rapunzel. She stands about 6 inches tall and will be the topper of my daughters 3rd birthday cake :) I was pretty pleased by how she turned out. Hope you like it ;)
Until next time,
Lacey Cakes :)

Key West.
So we're back from our cruise and slowly adjusting back to our regular schedules. I never really thought we'd go on a cruise. We talked about it multiple times before and would always agree that it wasn't really our thing, but right before we left for Iceland (like literally the day before we left) Ryan surprised me and said he had booked us a cruise to The Bahamas. What the heck!? haha! I was pretty shocked. I guess he thought we could kill 2 birds with one stone and check The Bahamas off our list and experience a cruise all in one shot. As for our cruise experience....all I can say is we definitely won't be taking another cruise from here in Texas again. I can say however that the staff on the cruise were amazing! They were some of the friendliest/happiest people I have ever seen! And we did enjoy all the shows and entertainment, (as cheesy as most of them were) the comedy shows were by far our favorite!
Our first stop before The Bahamas was Key West. It was soooooo hot! We did a lot of walking and exploring and we even went against our own rules and tried conch fritters! They were pretty tasty! All and all it was a fun day!

For me personally this is the best night of the All-Star weekend. With the skills competition, the Blake Griffin Invitational and the 3 point competition. Along with this the TNT announcers also have a competition of who can sound more absurd during the telecast, Charles has placed money on himself, I would too. Let's live blog this bitch right here and not in the GN thread with 500 comments in it. Now I have 75 words.

If you think you know the story of "The Hobbit," guess again. While Peter Jackson is bringing the tale to the big screen via a massive two-part, 3D epic, he's also tinkered with the source material, not only creating a bridge to "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy of films but also conjuring up brand new characters to populate the world. Sacrilege? Perhaps only to the most die hard of dorks. While there has been a ton of press about this movie already, its secrets are still under wraps.
All we know thus far about Evangeline Lilly's role in "The Hobbit" is that she plays Tauriel, a woodland Elf and daughter of Mirkwood. Well, speaking to EW, she revealed a bit more about her character, and the role might be bigger than we previously thought. "...she is a warrior. She's actually the head of the Elven guard. She's the big shot in the army. So she knows how to wield any weapon, but the primary weapons that she uses are a bow and arrow and two daggers. And she's lethal and deadly. You definitely wouldn't want to be caught in a dark alley next to Tauriel," Lilly said.
But for fans of the "Lost" beauty, you'll be waiting until 2013 to see the actress in her full Elven gear, as her role really comes to life in the second movie. "She's not in the first film very much. She comes into the first film near the end, and has a very small part to play. Her role in the second film is much more involved," she explained. "Although, I have to say, when I first read the scripts and took the job, she had a lot less going on in the second film. I think the role is becoming a bit more demanding than I had expected it to be. There's a lot more for me to do now, which is a lot of fun, but it's a little more pressure."
So, does that mean she'll be kicking ass in a big way The Battle Of Five Armies? (That's essentially the battle between the elves and the inhabitants of the Misty Mountains). Lilly is not sure, saying the sequence hasn't shot yet, but she's still got five more months of filming to go, so the short answer is probably "yes."
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" lands in theaters on December 14th with "The Hobbit: There And Back Again" slated for December 13, 2013.
Ben | January 26, 2012 3:27 PM
VERY VERY EXCITED to see The Hobbit on the big screen and can't wait to see Evie don her Elven garb! She is a great actress and wonderful person. Hope to see a new trailer coming out soon!
Tom Logan | January 26, 2012 1:02 PM
I don't know if she's lead material but she certainly deserves bigger roles and more film work. I really enjoyed what she brought to Real Steel especially her zeal during the fights.
Mikaylah | January 26, 2012 12:43 PM
The way I look at movie adaptations of books is that they are completely different beings. That is really the way you have to look at it, because no movie can follow the book 100% or fit in everything everyone thinks is important. I love the LOTR trilogy, so I am sure these 2 films will be great.
jim | January 26, 2012 12:37 PM
"the most die hard of dorks"? really? every movie peter jackson has made since "the two towers" has been more bloated and self indulgent than the last. forgive me for being skeptical about him adding unnecessary bullshit to one of the greatest adventure stories ever told.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently did an interview with Beth Lisick. The woman has gotten attention recently because she's promoting her second book but she's been involved in all sorts of different creative ventures over the years. The basis for each of these has been comedy.
One of the experiences she cites as being her favorite was a film that she did in which she and a friend (both in their late thirties) are walking around a hot springs completely naked. She's not sure that others will find it funny but says that the ridiculousness of being in wigs and glasses while exposing spider veins and varicose veins to the world is enough to make her laugh.
Of course, there are things that she could do to get rid of those varicose veins. For example, she could get VNUS Closure Fast which is done so quickly she could get back up on stage soon after the procedure. But that wouldn't be so funny because then she'd just be looking normal again.
Question of the Day: Are varicose veins a source of humor?
