40 Inspiring Easter Recipes
Hot Cross Buns
Soaking the currants in balsamic vinegar gives them a slightly tangy flavor that contrasts well with the rich dough of this classic Easter bread.
Garlic-Roasted Chicken with Lemons and Vegetables
This flavor-packed dish combines garlic-infused chicken with perfectly cooked vegetables. Roasting the lemon in the pan brings out its flavor.
Eggs Benedict with Maltaise Sauce
What's Maltaise Sauce, you ask? It's just hollandaise sauce with a bit of orange zest and juice added. But you wouldn't believe how that bit of zing transforms this brunch standard.
Easter-egg rolls
For Easter-egg rolls, thaw frozen dinner rolls (such as Rhode's) according to package directions. Gently form rolls into egg shapes; let rise 1 hour. For each color, in a small bowl, whisk 1 egg yolk,
2 teaspoons water and food coloring. Brush "paint" on rolls. (For stronger color, do a second coat.) Bake as directed. Serve nestled in a basket. -
Bacon-Asparagus Strata
Asparagus, bacon and roasted red sweet peppers update a classic breakfast casserole mix of eggs, bread and cheese.
Chai-Spiced Compote
Inexpensive chai tea bags infuse Chai-Spiced Compote with the tongue-tingling flavors of ginger, cloves and cardamom. Because the recipe calls for frozen peaches and cherries, you can make this colorful fruit dessert year-round. If you're watching fat or calories, leave off the pecans and coconut and just enjoy the flavorful fruit.
Grilled Lamb Chops with Feta Salad
Feta cheese adds salty punch to a colorful salad from Chef Michael Symon. He recommends serving the salad with lamb chops, but it would work great with any grilled meat.
Zippy Cinnamon Rolls
Create these easy, gooey-good rolls by combining frozen bread dough and pudding mix. They'll taste like you spent all morning baking!
Lemon Curd Tart
"The lemon curd is one of our favorite workhorses," says Patrick Groth of Incredibly Delicious in Springfield, Illinois. "My mother, who has worked for us for the last 16 years, is the only one who makes it. Hers is perfect, tart and smooth."
Glazed Easter Ham
Choose from four glazes—lemon, stout, apricot-cherry and peach-pineapple—for your Easter ham this year.
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with Warm Blueberry Compote
Rise and shine with these special-occasion pancakes from chef Mindy Segal of Mindy's HotChocolate Restaurant and Dessert Bar in Chicago. Ricotta makes them moist and rich; lemon curd gives sweet-tart punch.
Scrambled Eggs in Potato Nests
Make this egg dish in just 20 minutes. Packaged hash browns form the nest, and the filling is a simple scramble of eggs and chives topped with cheese.
Maple Butter Twists
These breakfast rolls are a family tradition with Jean Haviland of Carroll, Iowa. "My mom made these rolls with a maple-cream filling—and still does!" she says. "Mom always makes extra and freezes them for later. They're great for breakfast or any time of day!"
Roast Rack of Lamb with Cider Glaze
Roast whole apples to go with your rack of lamb, served with a simple apple cider glaze. The recipe comes from L'Etoile in Madison, Wisconsin, known for its menu that highlights locally grown ingredients.
Easter Egg Potatoes
Turn small baked potatoes into Easter egg shapes by mashing the pulp with sour cream and seasonings, and then standing the potatoes on end. It's an easy side you can prepare the day before Easter.
Asparagus-Ham Bake
Bake a hearty breakfast or brunch casserole with cubed ham, fresh or frozen asparagus, rice and Swiss cheese. A sprinkle of panko mixed with melted butter gives the dish a crispy topping.
Spinach Quiche a la Goldmoor
An easy-to-use frozen spinach souffle makes this quiche's eggy-sausage filling easy to prepare. The recipe is from the Goldmoor Inn near Galena, Illinois.
Easter Egg Cookies
Get creative with your cookie-making for Easter! Try piping your designs with our Easter Egg Cookies recipe, or use a cookie cutter with the recipe for Easter Sugar Cookie Cutouts.
Wheat grass makes a cozy resting spot for spring cookies. Look for it in the produce section of major supermarkets, or check at large health food stores.
Blueberry Surprise French Toast Casserole
Cream cheese is the secret ingredient in this casserole, which gets a generous topping of blueberry or maple syrup. You can assemble the casserole the night before your Easter brunch.
Deviled Eggs
Put together a traditional version of this classic Easter dish or try our variations for Italian-Style, Greek-Style, Curry and Crab or Chipotle Deviled Eggs.
Any-Flavor Mini Quiche
Talk about easy! You can prep these delicious little quiches the night before, or make them in the morning while the oven preheats. They're perfect for brunch parties, and you can use whatever meat, cheese and veggies you have on hand.
Healthy Green Bean Casserole
Bread crumbs combine with tender, sweet onion to top this casserole, while low-sodium soup mixes with yogurt for the green bean sauce.
Best Carrot-Pineapple Cake
Cream cheese frosting crowns a rich, moist and nutty carrot cake. Cinnamon and allspice add just the right spiciness.
Sugared Bacon Wrapped Smokies
Bacon, smoked links and brown sugar combine for a sweet-and-salty brunch sausage.
Very Cherry Hazelnut Coffee Cake
David Dahlman of Chatsworth, California, says this yeasty coffee cake reminds him of the old-fashioned, down-to-earth treats on his grandmother's farm table. It takes time because it's a yeast-leavened dough, but there's no kneading required.
Fingerling Potato Salad with Honey-Thyme Vinaigrette
This potato salad from Chicago chef Myk Banas will bring fresh-from-the-garden taste to your Easter table.
Fresh veggie sensation
Play up fresh this Easter with an easy side dish. Marinate fresh asparagus, red pepper, yellow zucchini, shaved carrots and cremini mushrooms in extra virgin olive oil with some kosher salt and black pepper. Drain off the marinade and pan-roast the mix in a sizzling-hot saute pan with 1/4 cup canola oil for 2 minutes. Add shaved garlic and minced shallots for the last 30 seconds.
Hash Brown Casserole
Here's a somewhat lightened version of a popular potato casserole recipe that's great for Easter brunch or dinner.
Easy Banana Nut Bread
Make a couple of these easy nut-filled banana bread loaves—they'll keep up to a month in your freezer. Overwrap loaf in plastic wrap and place in a freezerproof bag. Thaw at room temp.
Lazy Morning Sausage Pie
Lyndy Ireland cooks breakfast favorites for her guests at Triangle Ranch in western South Dakota. She tops this Sausage Pie with refreshing salsa.
Creamy Scalloped Potatoes
This easy-to-make layered cheesy potato dish pairs well with pork chops or ham.
Asparagus Scramble Biscuits
This recipe starts with square bacon-flecked cornmeal biscuits you can make ahead. On Easter morning, scramble the egg-veggie mixture, fill the biscuits, and bake to heat and melt the cheese.
Herbed Egg-Potato Bake
You can assemble the cheesy Herbed Egg-Potato Bake up to two days ahead and refrigerate it.
Very Cherry-Stuffed French Toast
Take French toast to another level for Easter. Tuck cherry pie filling and cream cheese between cinnamon-flavored bread slices for this breakfast sensation from a Dale, Wisconsin, restaurant.
Patsy's Egg Casserole
Midwest Living Creative Director Geri Boesen credits her mother-in-law, Patsy, for creating this easy sausage-and-cheese brunch recipe, a popular food at family holiday gatherings. "It's nice because you can make it the day ahead and put it in the fridge overnight," Geri says.
Hint-of-Orange Pancakes with Grapefruit Syrup
This recipe couldn't be simpler! Just simmer grapefruit slices in maple syrup for a delicious, rosy compote to serve over waffles, French toast, crepes—or these subtly orange-flavored pancakes.
Fresh Fruit with Orange-Honey Yogurt Sauce
Add a dash of color to your Easter table by borrowing from the spa menu at Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago, where guests are pampered with a rainbow of fruit with yogurt sauce on the side.
Peach Cordial Mini Bundt Cakes
The memory of a childhood orchard trip inspired Melinsa Murphey of Olathe, Kansas, to create this recipe. The cakes are moist and sweet and quite generously proportioned, so you may want to serve a half-cake to each person (or bake them in muffin cups instead).
Chocolate Pavlova
Pavlova, a meringue dessert named for Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova, gets a chocolate makeover in this recipe from Chicago pastry chef Gale Gand. Top the pavlova with whipped cream and sliced fresh fruit.
Tinted Angel Cake
The many colors of Kool-Aid, a Nebraska invention, provide an array of choices for this angel food cake that starts with a mix. Pink lemonade Kool-Aid adds a spring pastel prettiness and a delicate flavor to Tinted Angel Cake. The Tropical Punch version gives the cake flavor that's as intense as its color.

Just so you know, games aren't all bad. They can, in fact, be powerful tools for keeping the mind exercised and the fingers dexterous.
In recent years many innovative schools have begun a shift toward the use of educational technology. Even though your institution may be ready to make a similar transition, it's not always clear where to start. Without a clear vision and wise counsel, such a shift can be time-consuming as well as costly.

When so many new technologies promise to transform education - what role is left to the teacher? Why is the teacher still important? This powerful clip effectively presents compelling arguments for the importance of teaching students in a 'social' classroom setting - with reference to 'how' students learn; making the best of all types of tools to aid what goes on 'in the student's head'.
The online classroom can at times seem like a very cold space and building a supportive and friendly environment for students while getting a clear idea of their capabilities can be quite challenging. Having some zero preparation activities up your sleeve to get students speaking can be a real benefit. Via Nik Peachey

Children friendly... proper filters...a good initiative!!
This search engine seems to block any explicit content that may be visible in another search engine that does not have its settings adjusted from the start. It will also block sites that contain bad words. I tested this on a few searches, including a few YouTube searches, and I was not able to access anything inappropriate.
Will be great to introduce your students to searching for their own 'online' sources of information. I love that it is a 'safe search' and these filters can not be turned off.

Si tuviéramos que dar una definición sencilla de lo que es el ABP (aprendizaje basado en problemas) nos quedamos con la que dio Barrows y Tamblin: "Aquel aprendizaje que resulta de un proceso de trabajo dirigido hacia la comprensión o resolución de un problema, siendo el problema el punto de partida del proceso de aprendizaje".

This toddler friendly Umbrian villa for 12 people is situated on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, 30 minutes from Cortona, the famous Tuscan village and about 5 from Preggio, a wonderful ancient village which offers a couple of restaurants and a small grocery shop.
A kilometre of unpaved road in the middle of the woods leads to the gated entrance to the villa. From this point the panorama reveals the beautiful landscape of hills which surrounds this partly fenced property.
The villa, immersed in total privacy and silence, was renovated in 2008 by an English family. Adapted to host families, this charming villa is equipped with toys and areas dedicated to the enjoyment of children and teenagers. The long infinity pool (17mts) has a separate shallow area for children.
An annex, 4 metres from the villa, has been transformed into a playhouse for children and in the villa the children can find various pastimes such as books, games and English videos. Externally there are comfortable patios and porticoes for the various moments of the day. One patio leading from the kitchen is furnished with a table for 12 and has a pizza oven and barbeque. Another magnificent portico is furnished as an external lounge area and enjoys the best views from the villa. The pool, visible from the portico of the villa, is reached by two different sets of steps.
The internal areas of Casa Lazzari are constructed on various levels, organised to divide the living areas into separate rooms which are connected by corridors and steps. A comment about the kitchen is necessary: any cooking lover would be in raptures with the functionality and size, equipped with hotplates, 2 ovens, a large fridge and lots of work space. There is no lack of technology at Casa Lazzari, such as the computer where it is possible to access the internet from many rooms and outdoors via the wireless system, the Ipod players positioned in 4 of the bedrooms and in the kitchen. Also the Sky television and dvd players in the 4 televisions which are in 3 rooms and the cottage.
This comfortable Umbrian - Tuscan farmhouse is within easy reach of some of the most famous tourist attractions such as Cortona, Arezzo, Gubbio, Assisi and Perugia. Siena is just one hour and a half away.

Exhibition The Bigot Pavilion – Art Nouveau Architectural Ceramics from Paris at the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest – from 26 April 2013 to 31 August 2014
In 2013, the Budapest ensemble of Alexandre Bigot's monumental architectural ceramics can be seen for the first time since the Paris World's Fair of 1900. The ensemble was acquired with government funds by the director Jenő Radisics at the Paris Universal Exposition 1900 and has never been on display so far.
Alexander Bigot's pavilion constructed of Art Nouveau architectural sample pieces –wall revetments, fireplace frames, columns with plastic decorations, brackets, friezes- was bought entirely by the museum and was transported to Budapest after the exposition. The objects were deposited in the huge basement of the Museum of Applied Arts. The designers of the architectural ceramics were such outstanding French architects and sculptors of the period like Jules Lavirotte (1864-1924) or Paul Jouve (1878-1973). Similar pieces of architectural ceramics displayed at the exhibition can be found on facades of several Art Nouveau apartment buildings and palaces in Paris even today.
The present exhibition hints at the future of the museum, expressing the desire that many hidden artworks in the collection, such as these, should be displayed – something which will only be possible after the reconstruction of the building designed by Ödön Lechner.

The Leopold Museum's Klimt original shown at the Klimt Center in Attersee - from 12 to 24 July 2014
For the third year running, the Gustav Klimt Center on the Attersee will be presenting an eminent original painting by Gustav Klimt (1862–1918). In its opening year in 2012, the center featured Klimt's work On Lake Attersee (1900), dubbed a "frame full of lake water" by the art critic Ludwig Hevesi. While Klimt's 1899 painting A Morning by the Pond (Still Pond), chosen for the center's 2013 presentation, shows a depiction of the Egelsee in Golling, this year's exhibition once again focuses on an Attersee landscape, the 1902/03 masterpiece The Large Poplar II (Gathering Storm). Like the previous two paintings, the rendering is another exclusive loan from the Leopold Museum in Vienna.

Open house at the Otto Wagner Hofpavillon Hietzing in Vienna– on 21 to 22 June 2014
At the Hietzing subway station stands "Pavillon des k.u.k. Allerhöchsten Hofes" ("Pavillon of the k.u.k. of the highest Court") designed by Otto Wagner and opened in 1899. He served to the emperor and his guests and members of the court as entry and exit point when they travelled once with the Wiener Stadtbahn. The central space of the Hofpavillon, the waiting room of the Emperor, contained a table and chairs in front of a view of Vienna by Carl Moll. Here was also a desk so that the Emperor was able to work during the waiting period. And it was possible to send telegrams from the loggia.
Due to disrepair, the site of the Vienna Museum had to be closed for a few years. Thanks to an extensive renovation by the construction and building management of the City of Vienna (MA 34) the architectural jewel is once again open to the public.
Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, June 22 from 10 am to 18 pm Free admission on both days!
Thereafter, the Pavilion will be open every Saturday and Sunday 10-18 clock.

In a black and white photo, a pixieish model fluffs up her New Look-style housedress mid-jaunt down a runway, and a sea of impeccably coiffed heads turn toward her.
A famous 1950s supermodel?
"Not exactly," Chicago History Museum curator Joy Bivins said. "Modeling agencies didn't really have black models at the time."
But if one woman could — and did — change all that, it was Chicago's Eunice Johnson, a force behind Ebony magazine and producer of its traveling show, Ebony Fashion Fair.
Johnson gets feted in the exhibit "Inspiring Beauty: 50 Years of Ebony Fashion Fair," which opened March 16 at the Chicago History Museum.
The museum's largest temporary exhibit, it rings in around 7,000 square feet.
Videos and photos — like the one of the fresh-faced model, plucked out of Ohio by Johnson — join nearly 70 ensembles.
There are bead-covered, fur-laden, hand-stitched garments that once pranced the catwalk in the Ebony Fashion Fair, which ran from 1958 until 2009.
Johnson sourced the best European and U.S. fashion houses.
Treasures on display include 1988-89 Pierre Cardin haute-couture hooped contraption blanketed by aqua-colored sequins and Emanuel Ungaro's knit hot pants and matching knee-highs from 1971-72.
Every garment stands out; none resemble the flimsy jersey blobs dominating the current mass-manufactured fashion market.
It's hard to imagine, but this record-breaking display is a small fraction of the entire Ebony Fashion Fair archive.
"We narrowed thousands of garments down to 400, and down again to 67," said Bivins, recalling the curation process, which began after Johnson died in 2010.
At its height in the mid-1980s, the fair traveled to 187 cities including several stops in Tinley Park.
It was a package deal: If a group in Tulsa, Okla., or East Orange, N.J., could secure a venue — a theater, auditorium or even a high school gym (the exhibit features pictures of all three) — the fair sent a bus packed with garments and models.
Proceeds could be used for charity.
"Mrs. Johnson liked to reference Itta Bena, Miss.," Bivins said about the small-city reach of the show.
"One purpose of the show was to bring exclusive fashions to Ebony and Jet readers — expose them to ideas from all over the world."
It also put "black people in these fashions — rare or impossible to find in Vogue or (Harper's) Bazaar."
The exhibition's artful, custom-built mannequins reflect that diversity.
Every Ebony Fashion Fair included differently hued models posing in daywear, eveningwear, swimwear and a bridal finale.
Curators composed each display to mirror a show's lineup including pieces such as a bouffant, flower-flecked Ungaro bridal gown from 1996-97.
But no swimsuit remains unblemished — no thanks to the vast number of quick costume changes the road show required.
"We needed a lot of conservationists," said Julie Katz, museum registrar and the exhibition's project manager.
A team of conservators labored for nine months. Fluffs of ostrich hair and rows of teal sequins reap the fruits of their labor.
Groupings of outfits stand on curvilinear platforms backed by an array of purples and metallics — occasionally noisy scenery that clashes with the garments' pored-over handwork.
It's no wonder Ebony allowed this show to hit the makeshift runway in a high school gym. There's enough flair in each ensemble to compensate for a world of old bleachers and scuffed-up hardwood.
The museum's wall assemblages feature brochures, pages of Ebony and images of early 1950s shows.
Bivins said she sorted through massive magazine archives for research and to find exhibit-worthy ephemera.
"It became about interpreting the fashion in a historical context. We always tried to keep a connection to the publication — providing context to what people are seeing."
While Johnson Publishing Co. archives contain records of Johnson's impressions of designers, the exhibition errs by omitting thoughts about Mrs. Johnson from designers, who no doubt depended on Johnson's keen eye, luxe tastes and deep pockets.
Those indebted to her might include French designer Ungaro, whom she supported since his house's founding; the first black and first official American couturier, late designer Patrick Kelly; and the late Bill Blass and Halston, early proponents of black supermodels.
Still, this exhibit well serves fashion fans, giving them the chance to gape at Johnson's unmatched vision. But, according to Bivins, regular people are at the heart of the show.
"The garments oozed affluence, symbolized accomplishment and success," she said. "It was about, 'Could I do that?' "
Bringing fashion, against all odds, to Itta Bena, Miss., Johnson transformed it into something much greater than sequins and lace.

Finally, the older brother of our Lava Beetles has been revealed! ;-)
It was not at "Spiel" in Essen, but at the Toy Fair Trade in Nuremberg (Germany).

I wonder when we will hear more information about this.

I note that there appear to be three heroes on the box (that I can see.) Historically, whether or not the heroes on the box art are actually in the game is hit-or-miss. The 2E core box pictures a bunch of heroes who are not apparently in the game, but the Lair of the Wyrm expansion pictures the two specific heroes who were added in that expansion. The same kind of pattern (or lack thereof) was true with 1E.
However, the presence of three heroes (rather than two) on the box suggests to me that this expansion may not be a simple "Green/Blue" expansion, like LoW was "Red/Gold." Unless maybe one of them is just an NPC in one of the quests or something.
It may be a larger expansion, on par with the core box; but if it includes classes for all four archtypes then it would still be leaving scouts and healers a class "behind," which seems odd. Perhaps it just contains new heroes but no new classes.
Or, perhaps the heroes on the box are unrelated to the content and it is a simple "Green/Blue" small box like LoW after all. I guess time will tell.
Or perhaps I'm just drooling over the box for too long and rambling about nothing relevant at all. =P
Either way, it's an exciting announcement. =)
Posted 02 February 2013 - 03:49 AM
i think the guy is a npc. he looks like he needs recusing from the gigant bug. so this will be the green/blue one
i think we will see the "big box" expansion at gencon.
Posted 02 February 2013 - 06:01 AM
The girl on the cover with that potion in her hands might be some kind of alchemist (I guess healer class).
The orc seems to be some kind of scout/ranger or maybe a nomad (apparently ranger class).
The third person on the cover seems to be dead very soon ;-) (I agree, most likely a NPC)
Posted 02 February 2013 - 07:24 AM
I really hope that at some point they come out with more skill cards for each of the existing classes as opposed to just more classes for each hero type. Would be better to have a greater variety of skills to pick from using any gained experience.
But I am really looking forward to anther expansion, no other dungeon crawler has captured my imagination like this since Games Workshops Warhammer Quest.
(I have even started to collect the 1st edition stuff, although currently only have the main box set, finding the expansions especially in a good condition is quite hard)
Posted 02 February 2013 - 02:15 PM
What is meant by "blue/green" and "red/gold"?

Most of FFG's expansions don't require anything more than the base game box to be used. That means if they were to release additional class cards for existing classes, it wold only be for the 8 base-game classes, which is obviously going to rile up anybody who likes an expansion class.
While it's not unheard of for them to release an "expansion expansion" for some of the longer running game lines, it doesn't generally happen until said game has at least 6 or 8 other expansions under its belt.
Personally, I'd rather just see rules for "multi-classing" as a way to continue character growth beyond what's currently obtainable. Of course, that would have to come along with some kind of Act III/IV structure, otherwise the heroes would be WAY too powerful for anything the Overlord could dish out.
BatHead said:

It's a reference to the colours of the archetypes which got new classes/heroes in an expansion. Lair of the Wyrm is "Red/Gold" because it gives us a new Warrior and a new Mage class. The oft hypothesized "Blue/Green" expansion (which Labyrinth may or may not prove to be) would give us a new Scout and a new Healer class.

Exciting news indeed.
Looks like there's gonna be a huge Crab Boss (cool!) and Orc Hero.
Posted 04 February 2013 - 09:43 PM
I think it will look similar to Lair Of The Wyrm. We will get not so big box, 2 heroes (this time a Scout and Healer Type) and some more plot cards. Especialy I'm excited to see what the new classes will be and it look like theres going to be a Orc Ranger hero and a Gnom Healer. And the monsters will big huge bugs - YUPI! Can't wait for the official announcement and the release (it looks like it will be in 2Q 2013).

OMG, I can't wait! So many new things… take my money!
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:39 PM
WOW1 I just readed all there is from the announcement and I'm so excited. The best thing is that it is a full campain so a big box! 4 Heroes, new Overlord cards, new monsters, new quest and a campain, new artifacts and allies and new map tiles. Everything is new there so give me it! Can't wait, let's hope to see it as soon as 2Q will start. This is a great announcement and it made me happy this day!
Thanks FFG!
PS. It looks like after the Labyrinth Of Ruin we will get a small box like Lair of the Wyrm. So this year we should have two expansions. I will keep my fingers crossed for that.

These five special bags which belong to the 35 Exhibition Backpacks can be seen as one great example for the art of craftsmanship and the science of German efficiency - MCM has perfected its handmade skills and its process over decades, and is celebrating this through these special backpacks.
Did you know that your beloved bags are done by hand approximately round about 65 percent and that only the rest 35 percent need mechanical support? MCM keeps an eye on outstanding quality and unique design and as you can imagine the science behind handcrafting an MCM bag is a complex and unique process. It requires careful craftsmanship from only the most experienced and refined of manufacturers.
MCM sources the best raw materials - precious leathers and hardwares from Italy - with linings, anti-pollution hardwares & leathers in addition to its iconic Visetos monogram canvas material from our wonderful home in Germany.
Each detail needs the best knowledge, well-educated craftsman and unique skills to make such a bag. And did you know that the most complicated step during the whole working process is to sew the zipper into the bag?
Two points are, without no doubt, necessary for MCMs' good quality: sense for aesthetics, absolute quality and functionality. Handcrafting MCM-products is quite detailed and takes a lot of time, patience, skills and natural aptitude. The details within the series celebrate the intricate and complicated steps which are necessary to complete your unique MCM bag.
And if you take a look at your bag at this moment, focus on the details, feel the best materials and think about the hours of work someone puts in your lovely to look as perfect as it is right now. Isn't it wonderful? Craftsmanship at MCM stands for quality, durability and timelessness without compromise in style. This backpack edition celebrate this whole aspiration: Be luxury and build on a brand that combines glamorous aesthetics and the best quality - be MCM!
xoxo, yours Janes.

1965 Mustang Value
texases Posts: 5,717Not to worry about the placement of the fuel tank. Other Ford produced vehicles are the same and the problem is nil.
Like I said in my post, infrequent use no problem, but you just have to Google 'Mustang fuel tank fire' to come up with many hits on the problems associated with the tank's vulnerable location and lack of isolation from the passenger compartment. We live with risks every day, just need to be aware of them. -
euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,350A diligent search of Google "Mustang fuel tank fire' produced the following.
"I'd like to point out that your classic Mustang has already survived 30
or more years without suffering such an indignity. Statistically, very
few of the millions of classic Mustangs have suffered this fate over the
last 30 years!"
The possibility exists, but statistically zilch. -
rennie1355 Posts: 1I have a 64.5 Mustang 260 with generator and power steering with an Eton pump. I am attempting to install origional factory airconditioning. I have mounted the compresor but now the Eton pump cannot be mounted back because the compressor extends to far. I am told that a factory Ford pump with a slanted reservoir may correct the problem or a remote power steering reservoir may also correct the problem. Does anyone know the correct way to fix this problem.
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,192If it's a coupe that needs everything the value is really very little, and not worth fixing up unless maybe it was a convertible, or a 4-speed manual with V-8 motor. Sounds like a parts car to me if it's just an ordinary coupe that needs motor, interior, bodywork and paint. There really isn't such a thing as a 64.5 Mustang and you shouldn't pay extra for an early production car anyway. They are all 1965s as far as DMV and Ford are concerned.
I guess if you want a hobby and don't mind losing about half your money on a restoration, this might be a good car to learn some skills. You can buy very decent '65 coupes, daily drivers that look pretty good, for $6,000--7,500, and I'd encourage you to restore one of these rather than a wreck.MODERATOR --Need help with anything?

jacko76 Posts: 1a friend died and i am helping his wife sell his 1965 mustang fastback, 289, 2 bbl, 3-speed, standard trim. it has not run in about 30 years. it has little rust on bottom edge of drivers door. floor pan is solid. body is all there and looks good. black interior 2+2 seating, rangoon red in color. looking for a fair price to tell her so she is not cheated out of her late husbands car.
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,192Kinda hard to hit this one without seeing it, but as a ballpark I'd say the car will sell in the $7500 to $12,500 range, depending on how bad the rust is.
If by "3-speed" you mean 3-speed manual transmission, that's a deduct on value. Also it sounds like it's not a GT, so that's a deduct as well. It could have a 200HP or 225HP engine, so that makes a difference, but not huge.
If someone offered $9K-$10K, I'd probably take it.
You can buy these in really nice shape for $22K--$28KMODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

Exhortations to trust the Messiah. (1-3) The power of God, and the weakness of man. (4-8) Christ defends his people. (9-16) Their afflictions and deliverances. (17-23)
Verses 1-3 It is good for those privileged by the new birth, to consider that they were shapen in sin. This should cause low thoughts of ourselves, and high thoughts of Divine grace. It is the greatest comfort to be made serviceable to the glory of God. The more holiness men have, and the more good they do, the more gladness they have. Let us seriously reflect upon our guilt. To do so will tend to keep the heart humble, and the conscience awake and tender. They make Christ more precious to the soul, and give strength to our attempts and prayers for others.
Verses 4-8 The gospel of Christ shall be preached and published. How shall we escape if we neglect it? There is no salvation without righteousness. The soul shall, as to this world, vanish like smoke, and the body be thrown by like a worn-out garment. But those whose happiness is in Christ's righteousness and salvation, will have the comfort of it when time and days shall be no more. Clouds darken the sun, but do not stop its course. The believer will enjoy his portion, while revilers of Christ are in darkness
Verses 9-16 The people whom Christ has redeemed with his blood, as well as by his power, will obtain joyful deliverance from every enemy. He that designs such joy for us at last, will he not work such deliverance in the mean time, as our cases require? In this world of changes, it is a short step from joy to sorrow, but in that world, sorrow shall never come in view. They prayed for the display of God's power; he answers them with consolations of his grace. Did we dread to sin against God, we should not fear the frowns of men. Happy is the man that fears God always. And Christ's church shall enjoy security by the power and providence of the Almighty.
Verses 17-23 God calls upon his people to mind the things that belong to their everlasting peace. Jerusalem had provoked God, and was made to taste the bitter fruits. Those who should have been her comforters, were their own tormentors. They have no patience by which to keep possesion of their own souls, nor any confidence in God's promise, by which to keep possession of its comfort. Thou art drunken, not as formerly, with the intoxicating cup of Babylon's idolatries, but with the cup of affliction. Know, then, the cause of God's people may for a time seem as lost, but God will protect it, by convincing the conscience, or confounding the projects, of those that strive against it. The oppressors required souls to be subjected to them, that every man should believe and worship as they would have them. But all they could gain by violence was, that people were brought to outward hypocritical conformity, for consciences cannot be forced.
Isaiah 51:1-23 . ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE FAITHFUL REMNANT OF ISRAEL TO TRUST IN GOD FOR DELIVERANCE, BOTH FROM THEIR LONG BABYLONIAN EXILE, AND FROM THEIR PRESENT DISPERSION.
1. me--the God of your fathers.
ye . . . follow after righteousness--the godly portion of the nation; Isaiah 51:7 shows this ( Proverbs 15:9 , 1 Timothy 6:11 ). "Ye follow righteousness," seek it therefore from Me, who "bring it near," and that a righteousness "not about to be abolished" ( Isaiah 51:6 Isaiah 51:7 ); look to Abraham, your father ( Isaiah 51:2 ), as a sample of how righteousness before Me is to be obtained; I, the same God who blessed him, will bless you at last ( Isaiah 51:3 ); therefore trust in Me, and fear not man's opposition ( Isaiah 51:7 Isaiah 51:8 Isaiah 51:12 Isaiah 51:13 ). The mistake of the Jews, heretofore, has been, not in that they "followed after righteousness," but in that they followed it "by the works of the law," instead of "by faith," as Abraham did ( Romans 9:31 Romans 9:32 , Romans 10:3 Romans 10:4 , 4:2-5 ).
hole of . . . pit--The idea is not, as it is often quoted, the inculcation of humility, by reminding men of the fallen state from which they have been taken, but that as Abraham, the quarry, as it were (compare Isaiah 48:1 ), whence their nation was hewn, had been called out of a strange land to the inheritance of Canaan, and blessed by God, the same God is able to deliver and restore them also (compare Matthew 3:9 ).
2. alone--translate, "I called him when he was but one" ( Ezekiel 33:24 ). The argument is: the same God who had so blessed "one" individual, as to become a mighty nation ( Genesis 12:1 , 22:7 ), can also increase and bless the small remnant of Israel, both that left in the Babylonish captivity, and that left in the present and latter days ( Zechariah 14:2 ); "the residue" ( Isaiah 13:8 Isaiah 13:9 ).
3. For--See for the argument,
the garden of the Lord--restoration of the primeval paradise ( Genesis 2:8 , Ezekiel 28:13 , Revelation 2:7 ).
melody--Hebrew, "psalm." God's praises shall again be heard.
4. my people--the Jews. This reading is better than that of GESENIUS: "O peoples . . . nations," namely, the Gentiles. The Jews are called on to hear and rejoice in the extension of the true religion to the nations; for, at the first preaching of the Gospel, as in the final age to come, it was from Jerusalem that the gospel law was, and is, to go forth ( Isaiah 2:3 ).
law . . . judgment--the gospel dispensation and institutions ( Isaiah 42:1 , "judgment").
make . . . to rest--establish firmly; found.
light, &c.--( Isaiah 42:6 ).
5. righteousness . . . near--that is, faithful fulfilment of the promised deliverance, answering to "salvation" in the parallel clause ( Isaiah 46:13 , 56:1 , Romans 10:8 Romans 10:9 ). Ye follow after "righteousness"; seek it therefore, from Me, and you will not have far to go for it ( Isaiah 51:1 ).
arms--put for Himself; I by My might.
judge--( Isaiah 2:3 Isaiah 2:4 , Psalms 98:9 ).
isles, &c.--( Isaiah 60:9 ).
arm--( Romans 1:16 ), "the power of God unto (the Gentiles as well as the Jews) salvation."
6. ( Isaiah 40:6 Isaiah 40:8 , Psalms 102:26 , Hebrews 1:11 Hebrews 1:12 ).
vanish away--literally, "shall be torn asunder," as a garment [MAURER]; which accords with the context.
in like manner--But GESENIUS, "Like a gnat"; like the smallest and vilest insect. JEROME translates, as English Version, and infers that "in like manner" as man, the heavens (that is, the sky) and earth are not to be annihilated, but changed for the better ( Isaiah 65:17 ).
righteousness--My faithfully fulfilled promise Job 4:18-20 ). Not that the moth eats men up, but they shall be destroyed by as insignificant instrumentality as the moth that eats a garment.
9. Impassioned prayer of the exiled Jews.
ancient days--( Psalms 44:1 ).
Rahab--poetical name for Egypt
dragon--Hebrew, tannin. The crocodile, an emblem of Egypt, as represented on coins struck after the conquest of Egypt by Augustus; or rather here, "its king," Pharaoh Psalms 74:13 Psalms 74:14 , Ezekiel 32:2 , Margin; Ezekiel 29:3 ).
10. it--the arm.
Art not Thou the same Almighty power that . . . ? dried the sea--the Red Sea ( Isaiah 43:16 , Exodus 14:21 ).
11. ( Isaiah 35:10 ).
Therefore--assurance of faith; or else the answer of Jehovah corresponding to their prayer. As surely as God redeemed Israel out of Egypt, He shall redeem them from Babylon, both the literal in the age following, and mystical in the last ages ( Revelation 18:20 Revelation 18:21 ). There shall be a second exodus ( Isaiah 11:11-16 , Isaiah 27:12 Isaiah 27:13 ).
singing--image from the custom of singing on a journey when a caravan is passing along the extended plains in the East.
everlasting joy--( Jude 1:24 ).
sorrow . . . flee away--( Revelation 21:4 ).
12. comforteth--( Isaiah 51:3 , Isaiah 40:1 ).
son of man--frail and dying as his parent Adam.
be made as grass--wither as grass ( Isaiah 40:6 Isaiah 40:7 ).
13. ( Isaiah 40:12 Isaiah 40:26 Isaiah 40:28 ), the same argument of comfort drawn from the omnipotence of the Creator.
as if . . . ready, &c.--literally, "when he directs," namely, his arrow, to destroy ( Psalms 21:12 , 7:13 , 11:2 ) [MAURER].
14. captive exile--literally, one bowed down as a captive ( Isaiah 10:4 ) [MAURER]. The scene is primarily Babylon, and the time near the close of the captivity. Secondarily, and antitypically, the mystical Babylon, the last enemy of Israel and the Church, in which they have long suffered, but from which they are to be gloriously delivered.
pit--such as were many of the ancient dungeons (compare Jeremiah 38:6 Jeremiah 38:11 Jeremiah 38:13 , Genesis 37:20 ).
nor . . . bread . . . fail--( Isaiah 33:16 , Jeremiah 37:21 ).
15. divided . . . sea--the Red Sea. The same Hebrew word as "make to rest" ( Isaiah 51:4 ). Rather, "that terrify the sea," that is, restrain it by My rebuke, "when its waves roar" [GESENIUS]. The Hebrew favors MAURER, "that terrify the sea so that the waves roar." The sense favors GESENIUS ( Jeremiah 5:22 , 31:35 ), or English Version ( Isaiah 51:9 Isaiah 51:10 , which favors the special reference to the exodus from Egypt).
16. Addressed to Israel, embodied in "the servant of Jehovah" ( Isaiah 42:1 ), Messiah, its ideal and representative Head, through whom the elect remnant is to be restored.
put my words in thy mouth--true of Israel, the depository of true religion, but fully realized only in Israel's Head and antitype, Messiah ( Isaiah 49:2 , Isaiah 50:4 Isaiah 50:5 , 59:21 , Deuteronomy 18:18 , John 3:34 ).
covered . . . in . . . shadow of . . . hand--protected thee
plant--rather, "fix" as a tabernacle; so it ought to be rendered ( Daniel 11:45 ). The "new creation," now going on in the spiritual world by the Gospel ( Ephesians 2:10 ), and hereafter to be extended to the visible world, is meant ( Isaiah 65:17 , 66:22 ; compare Isaiah 13:13 2 Peter 3:10-13 ).
Zion--Its restoration is a leading part in the new creation to come ( Isaiah 65:17 Isaiah 65:19 ).
17. Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, &c.--( Isaiah 52:1 ).
drunk--Jehovah's wrath is compared to an intoxicating draught because it confounds the sufferer under it, and makes him fall ( Job 21:20 , Psalms 60:3 , 75:8 , Jeremiah 25:15 Jeremiah 25:16 , 49:12 , Zechariah 12:2 , Revelation 14:10 ); ("poured out without mixture"; rather, "the pure wine juice mixed with intoxicating drugs").
of trembling--which produced trembling or intoxication.
wrung . . . out--drained the last drop out; the dregs were the sediments from various substances, as honey, dates, and drugs, put into the wine to increase the strength and sweetness.
18. Following up the image in Isaiah 51:17 , intoxicated and confused by the cup of God's anger, she has none to guide her in her helpless state; she has not yet awakened out of the sleep caused by that draught. This cannot apply to the Babylonish captivity; for in it they had Ezekiel and Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah, as "guides," and soon awoke out of that sleep; but it applies to the Jews now, and will be still more applicable in their coming oppression by Antichrist.
19. two--classes of evils, for he enumerates four, namely, desolation and destruction to the land and state; famine and the sword to the people.
who shall be sorry for thee--so as to give thee effectual relief: as the parallel clause, "By whom shall I comfort thee?" shows ( Lamentations 2:11-13 ).
20. head of all . . . streets--( Lamentations 2:19 , 4:1 ).
wild bull--rather, "oryx" [JEROME], or gazelle [GESENIUS], or wild goat [BOCHART]; commonly in the East taken in a net, of a wide sweep, into which the beasts were hunted together. The streets of cities in the East often have gates, which are closed at night; a person wishing to escape would be stopped by them and caught, as a wild animal in a net.
21. drunken . . . not with wine--( Isaiah 29:9 ; compare Isaiah 51:17 Isaiah 51:20 , here; Lamentations 3:15 ).
22. pleadeth . . . cause--( Psalms 35:1 , Jeremiah 50:34 , Micah 7:9 ).
no more drink it--( Isaiah 54:7-9 ). This cannot apply to Israel after the return from Babylon, but only to them after their final restoration.
23. ( Isaiah 49:26 , Jeremiah 25:15-29 , Zechariah 12:2 ).
Bow down that . . . go over--Conquerors often literally trod on the necks of conquered kings, as Sapor of Persia did to the Roman emperor Valerian ( Joshua 10:24 , Psalms 18:40 , Psalms 66:11 Psalms 66:12 ).

Stripe Block Top
Style # 212888
Lend your new-season wardrobe a spring-forward pop in this bebe top, featuring a mix of stripes and soft tee-like stretch.
- Center back to hem: 22" (56 cm).
- 96% viscose, 4% spandex
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Stripe Block Top
Nice pattern and great fit!
I absolutely love the chevron pattern, so I had to have this top. It's very flattering and the fit is perfect, maybe 1 size larger in the bust than typical bebe fit since I normally wear a size XS and got this in XXS. The material is nice, not soft, but a bit strechy and very flattering. I definitely recommend this top.
June 1, 2013
Not a fan
I was looking for a conservative top to wear to work & thought this was a cute top when I saw it on display in the store until I tried it on. I'm 5'2, 110 lbs & the XS looked like a maternity top on me. Needless to say I didn't buy it.
March 27, 2013
Cute top
I got this top in the navy and white combo. I agree with the previous reviewer that the shoulders run big. I also wear a small in Bebe tops and needed the x-small in this. The fabric has a lot of stretch to accommodate the bust but the shoulders are still on the loose side. It is low cut although it doesn't look that way on the model. All in all I find it to be a flattering top. Love the print, can't wait to wear it.
March 19, 2013
Cute top, but not for me
I saw this online and I just had to have it. My local store carried it so I decided to try it on before buying. The shirt is as described on the website, but I felt the material was not worth the price.
I usually wear a small in Bebe shirts, but I had to go with an XS because the material is a little stretchy and the material was big in the shoulders in the small. I still felt like the shirt was big in the shoulders for me--it kinda bunched up a bit even when i tried to pull the shirt down the same thing happened. Not a great fit overall.
The colors are cute though and would make a great casual top.

Elijah fed by ravens. (1-7) Elijah sent to Zarephath. (8-16) Elijah raises the widow's son to life. (17-24)
Verses 1-7 God wonderfully suits men to the work he designs them for. The times were fit for an Elijah; an Elijah was fit for them. The Spirit of the Lord knows how to fit men for the occasions. Elijah let Ahab know that God was displeased with the idolaters, and would chastise them by the want of rain, which it was not in the power of the gods they served to bestow. Elijah was commanded to hide himself. If Providence calls us to solitude and retirement, it becomes us to go: when we cannot be useful, we must be patient; and when we cannot work for God, we must sit still quietly for him. The ravens were appointed to bring him meat, and did so. Let those who have but from hand to mouth, learn to live upon Providence, and trust it for the bread of the day, in the day. God could have sent angels to minister to him; but he chose to show that he can serve his own purposes by the meanest creatures, as effectually as by the mightiest. Elijah seems to have continued thus above a year. The natural supply of water, which came by common providence, failed; but the miraculous supply of food, made sure to him by promise, failed not. If the heavens fail, the earth fails of course; such are all our creature-comforts: we lose them when we most need them, like brooks in summer. But there is a river which makes glad the city of God, that never runs dry, a well of water that springs up to eternal life. Lord, give us that living water!
Verses 8-16 Many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, and some, it is likely, would have bidden him welcome to their houses; yet he is sent to honour and bless with his presence a city of Sidon, a Gentile city, and so becomes the first prophet of the Gentiles. Jezebel was Elijah's greatest enemy; yet, to show her how powerless was her malice, God will find a hiding-place for him even in her own country. The person appointed to entertain Elijah is not one of the rich or great men of Sidon; but a poor widow woman, in want, and desolate, is made both able and willing to sustain him. It is God's way, and it is his glory, to make use of, and put honour upon, the weak and foolish things of the world. O woman, great was thy faith; one has not found the like, no not in Israel. She took the prophet's word, that she should not lose by it. Those who can venture upon the promise of God, will make no difficulty to expose and empty themselves in his service, by giving him his part first. Surely the increase of this widow's faith, so as to enable her thus readily to deny herself, and to depend upon the Divine promise, was as great a miracle in the kingdom of grace, as the increase of her meal and oil in the kingdom of providence. Happy are all who can thus, against hope, believe and obey in hope. One poor meal's meat this poor widow gave the prophet; in recompence of it, she and her son did eat above two years, in a time of famine. To have food from God's special favour, and in such good company as Elijah, made it more than doubly sweet. It is promised to those who trust in God, that they shall not be ashamed in evil time; in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Verses 17-24 Neither faith nor obedience shut out afflictions and death. The child being dead, the mother spake to the prophet, rather to give vent to her sorrow, than in hope of relief. When God removes our comforts from us, he remembers our sins against us, perhaps the sins of our youth, though long since past. When God remembers our sins against us, he designs to teach us to remember them against ourselves, and to repent of them. Elijah's prayer was doubtless directed by the Holy Spirit. The child revived. See the power of prayer, and the power of Him who hears prayer.
1 Kings 17:1-7 . ELIJAH, PROPHESYING AGAINST AHAB, IS SENT TO CHERITH.
1. Elijah the Tishbite--This prophet is introduced as abruptly as Melchisedek--his birth, parents, and call to the prophetic office being alike unrecorded. He is supposed to be called the Tishbite from Tisbeh, a place east of Jordan.
who was of the inhabitants of Gilead--or residents of Gilead, implying that he was not an Israelite, but an Ishmaelite, as MICHAELIS conjectures, for there were many of that race on the confines of Gilead. The employment of a Gentile as an extraordinary minister might be to rebuke and shame the apostate people of Israel.
said unto Ahab--The prophet appears to have been warning this apostate king how fatal both to himself and people would be the reckless course he was pursuing. The failure of Elijah's efforts to make an impression on the obstinate heart of Ahab is shown by the penal prediction uttered at parting.
before whom I stand--that is, whom I serve ( Deuteronomy 18:5 ).
there shall not be dew nor rain these years--not absolutely; but the dew and the rain would not fall in the usual and necessary quantities. Such a suspension of moisture was sufficient to answer the corrective purposes of God, while an absolute drought would have converted the whole country into an uninhabitable waste.
but according to my word--not uttered in spite, vengeance, or caprice, but as the minister of God. The impending calamity was in answer to his earnest prayer, and a chastisement intended for the spiritual revival of Israel. Drought was the threatened punishment of national idolatry ( Deuteronomy 11:16 Deuteronomy 11:17 , 28:23 ).
2, 3. the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, &c.--At first the king may have spurned the prediction as the utterance of a vain enthusiast; but when he found the drought did last and increase in severity, he sought Elijah, who, as it was necessary that he should be far removed from either the violence or the importunities of the king, was divinely directed to repair to a place of retreat, perhaps a cave on "the brook Cherith, that is, before [east of] Jordan." Tradition points it out in a small winter torrent, a little below the ford at Beth-shan.
6. the ravens brought him bread--The idea of such unclean and voracious birds being employed to feed the prophet has appeared to many so strange that they have labored to make out the Orebim, which in our version has been rendered "ravens," to be as the word is used (in Ezekiel 27:27 ) "merchants"; or Arabians ( 2 Chronicles 21:16 , Nehemiah 4:7 ); or, the citizens of Arabah, near Beth-shan ( Joshua 15:6 , 18:18 ). But the common rendering is, in our opinion, preferable to these conjectures. And, if Elijah was miraculously fed by ravens, it is idle to inquire where they found the bread and the flesh, for God would direct them. After the lapse of a year, the brook dried up, and this was a new trial to Elijah's faith.
1 Kings 17:8-16 . HE IS SENT TO A WIDOW OF ZAREPHATH.
8-16. the word of the Lord came to him--Zarephath, Sarepta, now Surafend, whither he was directed to go, was far away on the western coast of Palestine, about nine miles south of Sidon, and within the dominions of Jezebel's impious father, where the famine also prevailed. Meeting, at his entrance into the town, the very woman who was appointed by divine providence to support him, his faith was severely tested by learning from her that her supplies were exhausted and that she was preparing her last meal for herself and son. The Spirit of God having prompted him to ask, and her to grant, some necessary succor, she received a prophet's reward ( Matthew 10:41 Matthew 10:42 ), and for the one meal afforded to him, God, by a miraculous increase of the little stock, afforded many to her.
1 Kings 17:17-24 . HE RAISES HER SON TO LIFE.
17-24. the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick--A severe domestic calamity seems to have led her to think that, as God had shut up heaven upon a sinful land in consequence of the prophet, she was suffering on a similar account. Without answering her bitter upbraiding, the prophet takes the child, lays it on his bed, and after a very earnest prayer, had the happiness of seeing its restoration, and along with it, gladness to the widow's heart and home. The prophet was sent to this widow, not merely for his own security, but on account of her faith, to strengthen and promote which he was directed to go to her rather than to many widows in Israel, who would have eagerly received him on the same privileged terms of exception from the grinding famine. The relief of her bodily necessities became the preparatory means of supplying her spiritual wants, and bringing her and her son, through the teachings of the prophet, to a clear knowledge of God, and a firm faith in His word ( Luke 4:25 ).
