Hi, I'm Sarah Price from It's Sew Emma, and I'm really glad to share with you my first pattern on Moda Bake Shop. This quilt is all about warmth and comfort, a simple design that is captivating in rich colors. I hope you enjoy it! Let's get started.
If you enjoy my version using Pheasant Hill, we have some quilt kits ready to go at Fat Quarter Shop!
3/8 yard brown print for inner borders − I used brown Feather Grass Yardage SKU# 9382-16
5/8 yard tonal tan print for middle borders − I used tonal tan Feather Grass Yardage SKU# 9382-21
2 yards for mitered outer borders − I used navy Pheasant Row Yardage SKU# 9380-12
5/8 yard for binding − I used navy Turkey Tracks Yardage SKU# 9384-12
3 1/2 yards for backing
Select and set aside 8 matching pairs (the same print from each charm pack) of dark charm squares for half square triangle units.
Select another 8 matching pairs (the same print from each charm pack) of dark charm squares for four-patch units. From 16 dark charm squares, cut the following:
- 4 - 2 1/2" squares, for a total of 64 - 2 1/2" squares
Select 8 matching pairs (the same print from each charm pack) of light charm squares for four-patch units. From 16 light charm squares, cut the following:
- 4 - 2 1/2" squares, for a total of 64 - 2 1/2" squares
From your inner border fabric, cut the following:
- 2 - 2" x 32 1/2" strips
- 2 - 2" x 35 1/2" strips
- 2 - 3 1/2" x 35 1/2" strips
- 2 - 3 1/2" x 41 1/2" strips
- 4 - 5 3/4" strips, cut from length of fabric (refer to photo in instructions before cutting)
- 7 - 2 1/2" x WOF (width of fabric) strips
1. Assemble two matching 2 1/2" dark print squares and two matching 2 1/2" light print squares as shown. Press towards the dark print fabrics. Four-patch unit should measure 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". Make four four-patch units from each pair. Make 32 total.
3. Assemble two identical 4 1/2" four-patch units and two identical 4 1/2" half-square triangle units as shown. Patchwork block should measure 8 1/2" x 8 1/2". Make two from each pair. Make 16 blocks total.
4. Assemble quilt center as shown. Quilt center should measure 32 1/2" x 32 1/2".
5. Attach inner side borders using 2" x 32 1/2" brown print strips. Attach inner top and bottom borders using 2" x 35 1/2" brown print strips.
6. Attach middle side borders using 3 1/2" x 35 1/2" tonal tan print strips. Attach middle top and bottom borders using 3 1/2" x 41 1/2" tonal tan print strips.
7. Cut four 5 3/4" strips along the length of the fabric as shown for the outer border.
8. Attach all four borders to the quilt, repeating the following steps for each side. First, mark the center of the middle border. Mark the center of the 5 3/4" wide outer border. Match center marks and pin the border in place by starting in the center.
9. Sew the outer border to the quilt by beginning and ending 1/4" from the edge of the quilt. Backstitch at the beginning and ending of stitching to secure stitching. If your measurements have been accurate your stitched seam should measure 41". If your measurement varies slightly, that is ok, but the same measurement needs to be used for every side to ensure your quilt is square.
10. All four borders are now attached and the tails of each border are hanging free.
12. Match up outside raw edges of the border and pin in place.
13. Using a ruler with a 45 degree angle marking, draw a line from the end of stitches to the outside edge of border as shown.
14. Stitch along the marked line, starting on the side attached to the quilt center at the end of the stitch from step 9. End the stitchng on the outer edge of the quilt.
15. Backstitch at the beginning and end of stitching to secure stitching. Press open and trim 1/4" away from seam. You have just finished a mitered outer border!
Quilting & Binding
Piece 2 1/2" navy print strips end to end for binding. Quilt and bind as desired.
A radiant 52" square quilt!

After my neonatal consult yesterday the doctor said that she feels I will deliver between 32 - 34 weeks because of the complications we are having. We discussed how at that age, being a twin, male and Caucasian can leave the babies more at risk for breathing and eating problems and that they may need milk through a tube in the nose.
Anyway now that I have given you an over abundance of information here is my question. Have you ladies had issues with insurance covering the use of the hospital breast pump? I'm waiting to hear from my insurance about if that is something they pay for. If not I will just pack my pump.
Also, if you used a hospital pump how was that experience? Im sure its different at various hospitals NICUs but I'm curious.

State of Conservation (SOC)
Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve
Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve
- Crop production
- Human resources
- Identity, social cohesion, changes in local population and community
- Illegal activities
- Legal framework
- Livestock farming / grazing of domesticated animals
- Management systems/ management plan
- Other Threats:
Lack of infrastructure and services for small producers and potential tourism initiatives hinder sustainable economic development and are underlying causes for poverty, leading to over-exploitation of natural resources
Inscription on the Danger List
Threats to the Site:
a) Illegal logging;
b) Illegal occupation;
c) Reduced capacity of the State Party;
d) General deterioration of law and order and the security situation in the region.
Threats to the Site:
At both its 19th and 20th sessions, the World Heritage Committee heard reports of commercial and agricultural intrusions into the site, threatening the World Heritage values for which it had been inscribed. The advancing agricultural frontier at the west side of the reserve, pushed by small farmers and cattle ranchers, is already reducing the reserve's forest area. The southern and western zones of the Reserve are subject to massive extraction of precious wood such as Caoba (Swietenia macrophylla). Uncontrolled commercial hunting of wild animals is also practised. The introduction of exotic species is threatening to undermine the complex ecosystem of the Reserve. The absence of any management plan and the fact that there is almost no park staff to manage the 525,100 ha site has compounded the problem.
An eleven-point corrective action plan, recommended by a 1996 IUCN conservation status report, has been endorsed by the Minister for the Environment of Honduras and the elaboration of a management plan for Rio Platano is being carried out with a World Heritage Fund contribution, as part of a large-scale project for strengthening the conservation of the site financed by the German GTZ-KFW.
A hydroelectric development project, Patuca II, is currently proposed for implementation near the reserve with potential negative impacts on the site. According to reports, the Government is promoting the rapid implementation of this project. Matters are further complicated by the fact that communications with relevant authorities in Honduras have become difficult following recent damages caused to the country's infrastructure by Hurricane Mitch.
* :
The threats indicated are listed in alphabetical order; their order does not constitute a classification according to the importance of their impact on the property.
Furthermore, they are presented irrespective of the type of threat faced by the property, i.e. with specific and proven imminent danger ("ascertained danger") or with threats which could have deleterious effects on the property's Outstanding Universal Value ("potential danger").
** : All mission reports are not always available electronically.

(a) The Secretary may, under contracts with entities described in subsection (f) of this section, or through facilities of the Veterans Health Administration, which possess a demonstrated capability to conduct programs of independent living services for severely handicapped persons, provide, under regulations which the Secretary shall prescribe, programs of independent living services and assistance under this chapter, in various geographic regions of the United States, to veterans described in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) A program of independent living services and assistance may be made available under this section only to a veteran who has a serious employment handicap resulting in substantial part from a service-connected disability described in section 3102 (1)(A)(i) of this title and with respect to whom it is determined under section 3106 (d) or (e) of this title that the achievement of a vocational goal currently is not reasonably feasible.
(c) The Secretary shall, to the maximum extent feasible, include among those veterans who are provided with programs of independent living services and assistance under this section substantial numbers of veterans described in subsection (b) of this section who are receiving long-term care in Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and nursing homes and in nursing homes with which the Secretary contracts for the provision of care to veterans.
(d) A program of independent living services and assistance for a veteran shall consist of such services described in section 3104 (a) of this title as the Secretary determines necessary to enable such veteran to achieve maximum independence in daily living. Such veteran shall have the same rights with respect to an individualized written plan of services and assistance as are afforded veterans under section 3107 of this title.
(1) Programs of independent living services and assistance shall be initiated for no more than 2,700 veterans in each fiscal year, and the first priority in the provision of such programs shall be afforded to veterans for whom the reasonable feasibility of achieving a vocational goal is precluded solely as a result of a service-connected disability.
(2) The limitation in paragraph (1) shall not apply in any case in which the Secretary determines that a veteran described in subsection (b) has been displaced as the result of, or has otherwise been adversely affected in the areas covered by, a natural or other disaster, as determined by the Secretary.
(f) Entities described in this subsection are
(2) for-profit entities in cases in which the Secretary determines that services comparable in effectiveness to services available from such an entity are not available, or cannot be obtained cost-effectively from, public or nonprofit agencies or through facilities of the Veterans Health Administration.

Google Translate, with its versatile input methods, simple interface, and offline support is one of the best translation tools out there.

Bing Translator may have a slicker design and more jaw-dropping features, including offline support and augmented reality, but we can't ignore the fact that Google's product supports over 20 more languages.

For two months, Twitter users could use Bing's translation feature to translate tweets into different languages. Now that's gone.
The search giant offers a variety of tools for translating websites and text from one language to another. Here's how you can tap into Google when you need a decent translator.
Seeing the World Cup as a chance to lower language barriers, the social site enables translation in its iPhone and iPad app, and Twitter.com timeline. It's a win for Bing.
As Twitter spreads globally, it makes sense to be able to break down language barriers. But machine translation is hard -- especially in the abbreviated lingo of a tweet.
Skype Translator currently supports about 40 languages and is expected to roll out later this year as a Windows 8 beta.
The tech titan buys Quest Visual, which makes the Word Lens written-word translation app for Android, iOS, and Google Glass.

So sorry Jen!
So I think the tyranny of the blinking smiley is over. (Thank goodness!) My test was negative but according the strip it would have given me a blinking smiley last month and the month before. Hopefully it is "learning" like the instructions claim.
Sorry Jen!!!
My temp spiked this morning. Either a super weird temp, or I o'd earlier. It'd be a perfect chart with a nice little dip the day before. Opk's have been negative, and not a ton of cm. started robitussin just yesterday and more creamy/watery today. Going to jump on dh this morning to cover our bases
Get it girl!
Hi ladies, I'm back. My dr. said we can start trying again right away, but chances of me getting pregnant the first cycle are slim, so we shall see. I still don't understand how I was able to get pregnant with two blocked tubes?!?
Jen, I'm so sorry. Do you have a plan for next cycle?
Now I need to get my stomach in better shape, this gastritis is bad. I'm seriously considering taken gluten out of my diet for a while to see if it helps, but that's a big change for a partial Italian girl like me.
Do you take nsaids (ibuprofen, aspirin, etc...)? Those are a big no-no for me. So is cinnamon and I tolerate citrus in small amounts but I can't overload. I took nexium throughout my last two pgs and the first 6months pp (I take aspirin during pg so the gastritis gets bad).
Gluten-free has really helped! Thinking of you...it's hard at first but does get easier .
Agreed! I am stalking though, only about 3 more hours til bed! I think tomorrow you will be very happy though!

I was looking at my two previous charts and noticed my temp usually starts to decrease after a second peak in my lp. Af showed within 4 days of the second peak and I had a second high temp today so hopefully soon !! I'm feeling really tired and a little crampy so that's encouraging !!
I had the WEIRDEST dreams last night...
The first one was that I took a Wondfo test and it was positive and I carried it around with me and kept asking people to tell me if they thought it was positive...
Then I had one where I made some really weird comment in this thread and none of you wanted to talk to me?
And then I had one where I had a signature at the moment of my posts that said DS 5 DD 1
Lol so random and weird...

A federal judge in Baltimore has refused to block implementation of Maryland's new gun control law. Many assault rifles and big ammunition clips can no longer be purchased in Maryland.
After the slaughter of children at a school in Newtown, Connecticut last December, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley asked the legislature for more restrictions on gun and ammunition sales. The legislature agreed, and the new regulations are now in effect.
Gun shop owners -- and their attorneys -- came to federal court in Baltimore to complain that the new rules violate the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. One attorney argued that now-banned assault rifles should be available for sale so that "law abiding Marylanders" can use them in their homes for self defense.
The home-defense argument was also used in an effort to enjoin the state from forbidding the sale of large ammunition clips.
Another attorney complained that the new licensing procedures for handguns in Maryland amounted to a de facto moratorium on their purchase. The judge acknowledged that the state is currently swamped with applications, but she ruled "there is a strong public interest in upholding a... law designed to prevent tragedies such as Newtown."
On the issue of assault weapons for home defense, U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake noted that handguns are the general preference for that purpose, and shotguns would still be legally available. She said "no" to a temporary restraining order.
The plaintiffs in the case declined comment to reporters gathered at the courthouse door. But interested observers from both sides of the gun-control debate did speak.
"This law is constitutional," declared Vincent DeMarco, president of Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence. "It will save lives [and] keep guns out of the hands of criminals and others that shouldn't have them without infringing on the Second Amendment rights of anyone." DeMarco applauded the judge's denial of a TRO.
Shannon Alford, with the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, had a very different take on the judge's decision to let the new Maryland law stand: "This is not a ruling on the merits of the arguments. The fat lady hasn't sung. She hasn't even taken the stage, yet."
The judge did indicate that further arguments on the merits of the case will be scheduled. But, for now, Maryland's tough new gun law remains in effect.

Some days, the testimony in the Kilpatrick & Co. trial makes me feel like I'm in a time machine.There are flashes back to situations I investigated, some of which made headlines, while others still languish in a file, waiting for a final piece of the puzzle to surface.There are memories of faces and places I've encountered in the more than 11 years since I met Kwame Kilpatrick.The name that triggered one of those flashbacks on Tuesday was Abner McWhorter. Prosecutors played a recording of McWhorter speaking with Bernard Kilpatrick in 2008. On the tape, Bernard Kilpatrick calls McWhorter and says the city treasurer is putting on a fundraiser for the Kilpatrick Civic Fund and would appreciate a donation."If you can do five, that would be real cool," the elder Kilpatrick tells McWhorter.Bernard Kilpatrick's lawyer pointed out that McWhorter was a client of the elder Kilpatrick and suggested that B.K. was just advising him.McWhorter won't be taking the stand to rebut him. The Detroit entrepreneur committed suicide last year amid accusations he was involved in a Ponzi scheme that defrauded the pension fund.Robert Snell of the Detroit News has reported that the pension fund is trying to recover $10 million in the wake of the failed deal involving McWhorter that called for buying and restoring more than 1,400 foreclosed homes in Metro Detroit.That got me thinking that if McWhorter were still with us, the pension fund might want to hire me to get their dough back.See, I first met McWhorter around 2002, when he was just ripping off freelance writers. At the time, he was running an automotive magazine. Several of my friends and colleagues at the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News were doing work for hire for McWhorter. I was always looking for a little extra cash, so they suggested I ask him to assign me some stories.For reasons lost in the fog of time, my wife ended up doing stories for McWhorter instead of me. Good thing, too, because he stiffed her on her last assignment.Around that time, I was still on very good terms with Kilpatrick and his administration. It seems incredible now, but for the first 18 months or so of their reign, Kilpatrick and his trusted lieutenant Derrick Miller took turns trying to lure me from the Free Press. Things were so cordial, in fact, that I spent one evening "source building" over drinks at Half Past Three, the Grand River club that was not only a favorite hangout of Kilpatrick's crew, but the supposed scene of a never-proven hit-and-run accident involving one of Hizzoner's police bodyguards.As the hours and the ice in my highball glass melted away, my companion, then-Kilpatrick spokesman Jamaine Dickens, drifted away and became involved in a conversation with a guy I had never met before. After waiting for Dickens to wrap it up and return to the barstools, it dawned on me that the only person getting more impatient than me would be my wife, who had expected me home long ago.So I walked over to Dickens and his companion, hovering next to them and essentially becoming hard to ignore me.Dickens acknowledged my presence and introduced me to his friend, telling me, "This is Abner McWhorter."I shook McWhorter's hand, holding it beyond the point where most men are comfortable, and said something to the effect of, "I don't think we've ever met, but I believe you know my wife."I continued to grip the hand of the dapper but diminutive McWhorter as I told him my wife's name and said "You owe her $400 you sonofabitch."With a calm surprising for a man who had angry freelancers dotting the metro area, McWhorter reached in his pants pocket and pulled out a roll of bills that could have plugged a drain pipe."I've got your money right here," he said, peeling off four $100 bills.Stunned but pleased, I returned to the bar for another drink, figuring that my success as an ad hoc debt collector had earned me a later curfew.I would learn later, to my chagrin, that I was sure wrong about that!I bring all this up not to cast aspersions on the dead, but to muse over the possibility that, had the pension fund known this story, they could have engaged me to try and get their dough back.And with a 10 percent collection fee, I'm pretty sure I could stay out all night this time -- without getting hit with a frying pan!Follow M.L. Elrick's coverage of the Kilpatrick & Co. trial daily on FOX 2 and at www.myfoxdetroit.com. Contact him at email@example.com or via Twitter (@elrick) or Facebook.

Of course it's not horrible! You need to take care of yourself in order to be a good mom. It takes a lot of strength and self awareness to recognize and admit when you need help. So you may feel really lost right now but you are on the right path.
I hope you can talk to your therapist. I hope you find answers.
I know how scary it is. Every time I think about/thought about leaving dbf, I was overwhelmed with all of the changes and choices that would have to be made after the initial decision.

High Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a type of fat (lipid) that the body needs for many important functions, such as producing new cells. High cholesterol increases the risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
High cholesterol is caused by eating a diet that is too high in cholesterol and saturated fat or by having an inherited condition that causes elevated cholesterol levels.
Treatment includes eating a more healthful diet, increasing physical activity, and possibly taking cholesterol-lowering medicines.
A blood test can determine whether you have high cholesterol. Cholesterol is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

Student Media Labs
Spring 2010
MediaSpots, student multimedia production labs funded by Student Tech Fees, are now open at the Dunwoody and Clarkston campuses. (more information)
Spring 2010/Summer 2010
Approximately 20 Online and Face-to-Face faculty will be piloting the use of the Respondus LockDown Browser during summer 2010.
The Respondus LockDown Browser works in conjunction with iCollege assessments (quizzes, tests, and exams). An instructor can choose which of their assessments requires students to use the Respondus LockDown Browser. If an assessment requires the use of the Respondus LockDown Browser, the student must download (for free) and install the special browser. The student must then login to iCollege using the Respondus LockDown Browser (not Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Safari) and complete the assessment. The Respondus LockDown Browser will prevent the student from running other applications such as a web browser, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, etc while taking the assessment.
During the pilot, both faculty and students will be asked to complete surveys regarding their experiences using the Respondus LockDown Browser.
Update Fall 2010
The pilot ended in July 2010. On August 3, 2010, the pilot group met and decided to continue licensing Respondus LockDown Browser. GPC Online will be discussing with its department chairs how it should be used in online classes-- which testing situations are most appropriate. The Respondus LockDown Browser will be made available for on campus testing in the labs and computer classrooms.
Nursing iTouch Pilot Project
Fall 2009-Spring 2010
The Nursing iTouch Pilot Project began in the Fall of 2009. It is a partnership between the nursing department and Instructional Technology Services. The GPC Nursing Department received a grant that would allow for 12 iTouches to be purchased and loaned to nursing students and faculty.
Instructional Technology Services purchased licenses for the Unbound Medicine App, Nursing Central. The app was loaded on the iTouches. Additionally, Instructional Technology Services worked with the nursing department to make their lectures and lecture notes available to students as podcasts viewable on the iTouch.
The project continued into Spring semester 2010. For more information on this pilot please contact Sue Buchholz.
Given the success of this pilot as indicated in student surveys and activity logs, a new, broader pilot that includes Nursing and Dental Hygiene is underway for the Fall 2010 semester.
Health Science Mobile Device Pilot
The Health Science Mobile Device Pilot Project will begin in Fall 2010. It is a partnership between the Health Science discipline and the Office of Information Technology. Faculty teaching in the Health Sciences will receive a iPad or iPod Touch. First year Health Science students will receive an iPod Touch. Second year Health Science students will receive an iPad. Discipline specific apps such as Unbound Medicine's Nursing Central app will be provided to the faculty and students. Faculty will be creating podcasts of lectures and skills labs for students to view.
Through the implementation of the Health Science Mobile Device Pilot we will:
- Develop strategies to convey information utilizing various electronically based applications while providing engaging and powerful learning experiences, content, and resources applicable to the health science student.
- Provide students with mobile, electronic devices, utilizing the power of technology to reach all learners anytime and anywhere.

Lil Wayne has apologized for stepping on the American Flag while shooting his latest video, "God Bless Amerika," in Louisiana over the weekend.
Video from the shoot shows a U.S. flag being dropped to the ground and the rapper walking back and forth on it, which he says wasn't intended implying that the flag just happened to be in his way.
"I didn't step on the flag on purpose! It's a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it's just there as I perform," he wrote.
The singer isn't helping his cause though it appears that he looks directly down at the flag a couple times while walking back and forth on it. Maybe his eyes were closed.
How do you feel after seeing this video?

This weekend marks the 25th renewal of Kalamazoo's oldest running fitness event, the Kalamazoo Klassic, featuring a Kid's Klassic, Pump and Run, 10K run and 5K run and walk.
But, hill? If you're not familiar with the event, the Klassic features a hill right at about the three mile mark of the 10K event. And, it's not just any hill. It's a half-mile long climb with a cobblestone along the way to conquer before you head into the home stretch of your run.
So, how do you handle such a challenge? We talked with veteran runner and Kalamazoo Klassic Co-Director Bonnie Sexton about it and Bonnie recommends runners take deep breaths on the approach, shorten your stride and pump your arms, using them to help propel you to the top. If you have to walk the hill, that's fine because for many runners, walking the steep incline is just as fast if not faster than running it.
Once at the top, you may need a few seconds to get your bearings and get your legs back on pace, but them you're ready to finish the run.
More information on this year's Kalamazoo Klassic can be found at http://www.kalamazooklassic.org/

Miss Cindy's Holiday Cinnamon Rolls!
These Cinnamon Rolls make a wonderful gift...it takes a while to make them, but SOOOO worth it. They are amazing! So buttery, gooey, sweet and cinnamony!! (Is that a word??) This recipe makes 7 round pans of rolls. I like to go to my favorite party store, where you can get the aluminum pans and the decorative plastic wrapping to make them festive for gift giving!
Ok, you know you want these, and here's how to make them. But make sure and give yourself enough time to make them. They are worth it! You are going to "WOW" your friends if you decide to give up a pan or two for gift giving. They will expect them every year, so beware!!! The ingredients are below.
First, for the dough, heat 4 cups of milk, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup of sugar. Heat in a large sauce pan. Heat the mixture-- but don't let it come to a boil. Remove from heat.
When the milk mixture gets lukewarm, sprinkle 2 packs of active dry yeast over the top. No need to stir... Just let it sit on top for a minute or two. Make sure it isn't too hot, just lukewarm, or it will destroy the yeast enzymes and the dough won't rise.
Next slowly add 8 cups of flour. Stir mixture and cover. This is what it should look like.
Cover the dough and let it sit and rise for at least an hour.
While the dough is rising, I think I'll take a break and play on Facebook and look out the window at our beautiful snow! It really gets me in the Holiday Spirit! Cinnamon rolls and snow, go hand in hand!!!
Remove the towel and add 1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder and a half teaspoon of baking soda and 1 cup of flour. Stir to combine.
Now if you want, you can refrigerate the dough for a couple days or bake them now. If you chill the dough it makes it easier to work with. So if you wish, take another break, maybe explore our website some more, you might find another good recipe for the holidays! But I'm ready to make these rolls!!! Sprinkle your surface with flour.
Grab half the dough and roll out into a long rectangle.
This dough is so easy to work with!
Now that it's all rolled out, you are ready for the fun stuff!!! Butter, sugar and cinnamon! MMMM!!!
Pour 1 cup, yes, I said 1 CUP of that good ol' sweet butter!
Brush it all over the dough!! Don't skimp!
Next sprinkle 1/4 cup (or more if you wish) of ground cinnamon all over the butter.
Sprinkle 1 cup of sugar over the cinnamon and butter! Oh this is going to be so buttery and gooey!!!
Now here comes the fun part, begin at the end farthest from you, and roll the rectangle tightly towards you.
Just keep it as tight as you can! You can do it! It's really fun when the filling oozes out all over the place. You'll want to lick your counter tops!
When you get to the end, just pinch the seams together. And you will have one long log that's full of decadence!
Next slice the log into 1 1/2 inch slices. You should get 20 to 25 rolls from one log.
Melt 1 stick of butter and add 1 to 2 tablespoons melted butter to your pans, coating evenly. Place the sliced rolls in the pans. Don't get them too close together.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let rise for 25 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. And repeat the butter/sugar/cinnamon/rolling process with the remaining dough. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Now for the Maple frosting!!!! In a large bowl whisk together a 2 lb. bag of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of maple flavoring.
1/2 cup whole milk and 1/4 teaspoon of salt
add 6 tablespoons of melted butter--did I say that we use A LOT of butter in this recipe???
and 1/4 cup of strong, brewed coffee.
Whisk together until smooth. The icing should be thick but pourable. Like this!
When the rolls are finished baking and are still warm, drizzle the icing all over the rolls!!! Fill every nook and cranny with that wonderful maple icing!
Oh, and by the way, the house smells AMAZING!!!!!!
Make these. Your family and friends will love you--TRUST me, they'll expect them every year!
4 cups of whole milk
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 packs of active dry yeast
8 cups all-purpose flour--plus a little extra in case you need it for rolling out the dough
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon of salt
2 cups melted butter or more if needed
1/4 cup ground cinnamon
2 cups sugar
Maple Icing
2 pounds powdered sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 stick of butter
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
tiny pinch of salt
3 teaspoons maple flavoring or extract
Follow directions above!
Enjoy making these!! And Happy Holidays!

Sorry for the horrendous photos - the paper is too big for a scanner.
Some are like, 5 mins, and some others are 10 I think...
I draw kind of slow.
This is something I've been working on for a bit...
I've uploaded my process so you can see how I did it - I think it's almost done but I need to render the birds a little better. Some parts are still kind of sloppy.
What do you think?

That's beautiful! I really like your above drawings as well (The pencil sketches)
wooo amzing works!I like the last one ,great idea!
Posts one, two and three are Superb. No critiques only compliments from me.
Some sketches for a project I'm working on ... some stuff isn't getting across, like the girl holding up the flowers. The idea is that the flowers are morphing in to insects, not that she's being a brat in mums garden.
Wow, nice start.

Man, that bird one is blowing my mind right now. I love it! Post more!
What are your goals with illustration?
-I often post from my phone; so please excuse the typosSketchbook
This is where it's at right now. I think it could be getting overworked... I'm not sure how I feel about the fuzzyness of it. Maybe it's losing some of it's previous energy? And the face isn't as readable in this version, but I don't totally mind that.
I kind of would like to submit it to Spectrum or Communication Arts mag maybe.. but I might be getting ahead of myself.
I think it looks great! Your edges are tightening up and I still get a feeling of the whole piece rather than the individual parts.
Also, as someone with a drawer full of rejection letters from the top Sci-fi short fiction magazines and a couple of acceptance letters that weren't expected. I can say that the worst that can happen if you submit is a rejection... And you'll NEVER get an acceptance letter for an un-submitted piece of art.
Send it off!
Always Aspire.

I'm very impressed by your figures and drapery (especially the sketches with children) and the bird painting is just awesome. I prefer the warmth of the second last version though, those warm reds popping out looked delicious!
"And you'll NEVER get an acceptance letter for an un-submitted piece of art."
Definitely submit that work of art if you feel like it's the right thing to do.
I do agree with you that the face has lost a little bit of definition, but it might be more of a surprise now for the viewer if they find it for themselves
Anyways, awesome stuff!
-I often post from my phone; so please excuse the typosSketchbook
I'm going to submit it for something and see if I get anywhere with it!
For now, I think I'll consider this one done...
keep working! you have talent!
I need your help to vote, go to this BLOG to see work.

That bird face thing is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. Very cool.

Would you like a fantastic book recommendation?
I LOVE to read and devoured Gillian Flynn's book Gone Girl a few months ago in just a couple of days. I couldn't put it down.
It's about Nick Dunne, a man who becomes a murder suspect after the mysterious disappearance and assumed death of his wife.
Purchase the book HERE .
I got very excited to hear that it was being made into a movie starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, and after months of anticipation the official trailer is here...

Coming from humble 1966 California roots, which began with the inauspicious sale and custom production of Vans classic shoes for 12 customers, today Vans sets the standard as the premier manufacturer of shoes and clothing for the young and active Core Sports consumer. Specifically designed for today's extreme sports culture, Vans snowboard boots and skate shoes are the footwear of choice among elite athletes around the world. VANS-sponsored athletes, who are some of the most talented and colorful personalities in snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, and BMX endorse and help design Vans products; providing a bond with the consumer that is strengthened by credibility and authenticity.
Riding the 1970s skateboard craze and 1976 BMX movement, in the 1982 hit film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which featured the California surfer dude Jeff Spicoli played by Sean Penn wearing a pair of Vans checkerboard classic slip on shoes, Vans skyrocketed on a culture trend. The film made a star of Penn and launched Vans nationwide, bringing Vans authentic shoes to department stores and independent retailers everywhere. Spawning a variety of licensing agreements, the Vans slip-on craze took on sunglasses and notebooks, and then came to embrace specialty sports footwear; developing baseball, football, umpiring, basketball, soccer, wrestling, boxing, and skydiving shoes.
Through event sponsorships, like the Vans Triple Crown at Sunset Beach, Hawaii that features Vans Surf Team riders John Florence, Pat, Tanner and Dane Gudauskas tackling 15-20ft+ surf at the O'Neill World Cup, and a chain of dedicated Vans skateboarding parks (launched in 1998), Vans continues to forged a unique niche in the booming youth sportswear market. For over 40 years Vans footwear has been at the heart of core board scene. From the classic Vans canvas shoes to their technical skate shoes, Vans footwear defines individual style while still pushing the limits of the culture world. With Vans diversified clothing and shoes product line, unwavering commitment to the latest trends, highly publicized event sponsorships, and popular skateboarding facilities, Vans continues to be in the thick of things into the 21st century. Stay true to the culture and step into a pair of Vans.
We're Available:
Mon-Fri: 7:30am-4:00pm PST

Rachel...so glad the holding pattern is over! I hope af shows in the next few days :fingercrossed:!!
Claire...good to hear things are going well!
Got my crosshairs today...woot ! I'm 3dpo and the progesterone is kicking in I think...sleepy, weepy/sentimental, sore bbs, and no appetite but a small price to pay if it helps .
If my cycle had been typical I'd expect to ovulate Friday...I still can't believe I oed early.
Eesh, going to take a nap...falling asleep typing !
Claire - glad to hear everything is going well. I hope you get sleeping better soon! :-\ are you just uncomfortable or sick? Either way, I hope it goes away soon.
Kelly - I'm stalking your situation! Lol. I really am so anxious to find out what's going on! I hope it's good news!!!
I can't believe I'm CD 11 already! I hope the rest of this time goes this fast! I feel like I just started my period a few days ago! Reallllly trying to relax this cycle, so maybe that's why!
You guys rock! Thanks for all the luck!
CrazyCookie - What are you reading? Anything good!?
Kelly -- Hope the tiredness is a good sign!
Sara: 31, DH: 33. After 19 months of STC, we caught an eggie! #1 is on its way!
Make a pregnancy ticker
Everyone's charts look amazing! I think April is going to be a good month with lots of sticky bfps !!!
I got to trigger this morning
My one follie grew to 21mm and my lining is still good at 11mm with a triple layer. IUI scheduled for tomorrow morning! I just have a really good feeling this cycle. My AF started on St. Patty's Day, was supposed to trigger on Easter but God wanted me to put my trust in Him and His timing and not be anxious, and now my new IUI date would give me a EDD of December 25th.
Jen ...that is so awesome!!!!!! !!
Kay, I think you have highs/lows because you temp orally but once you get your temp shift it'll make sense...the crosshairs tend to make all the difference with perspective
Eta...Kay, look at your chart from the perspective that your coverline will probably be around 97.7/97.8 which puts most of your temps below it and your shift will probably put your temps over 98.0...I really think you'll have a nice looking biphasic chart within a week

I can't wait to get crosshairs! I brought an OPK strip with me to work today, and when I opened it, it was broken! The dye strip was sticking out and the paper was all torn! I was so upset! I had been holding my pee til 1030 for nothing! I know I can take one when I get home, but I drink so much water that it's normally too diluted, but we'll see. I just hope I didn't miss my surge because of it! I tried to use it anyway, but it was useless!
I was wondering... about how long after BD can you test your CM and know that it's CM and not left overs from BD?

This is totally random, but I just saw that APA switched me to being a "senior member" and an APA All-Star. I'm strangely honored.

Kelly - I didn't catch the 2nd part of your post earlier. Thanks for the tips on the temps! I really can't wait to see it! My biggest question has been, "what if I'm not Oing". I'll soon know!
Sara - I don't do FMU with OPK. I wake up at 7 and go to the restroom, then I held it until 1030 to do it at work. So that's why I was so upset when it was broken! I will do one after work, but like I said, I drink so much water that I barely even get a line most days unless it's early morning. I guess we'll see. I'm only CD11, I didn't get a +OPK until CD14 last month, so it may still be early.
If anyone can answer the CM question, I'll be forever grateful.
Kay--which opk are you using? The same one I did--clear blue easy digital with the smilies? Love that btw! The package says you can use FMU but I did mine between 2-4pm just because I heard something somewhere about hormonal cycles during the day being more active mid-day. Sorry yours broke!
As for the CM thing...I just skip that day--or you can test it earlier in the day if you think you might BD later on. There's no one set time to test CM do you can do all day long and record the most fertile one you see.
I am so tired today--yesterday too. My DH says I'm going to make myself crazy--he's not wrong LOL. Good thing my semester is winding down so I have a TON of work to do and keep my mind busy. Hopefully I'll do it and not just obsess on baby stuff. I started using my new sewing machine last week, I'm practicing sewing by making burp cloths, one side old flannel sheet one side terry washcloth

i ordered clincal guard opks off amazon. Theyr'e cheapie strips, so i wasn't too upset when it was broken. i got 50 for $10.
I did take one after work, but no line. I know better, my urne is almost water-like after work due to how much water I drink. I'll take another one in the morning. If I missed my surge, its no big deal because we BD'd last night. What will be, will be.
As far as the CM question... we BD'd last night at 11pm... I didn't try to chart it until mid afternoon, but I just couldn't tell.. so I'll just see what tomorrow morning brings!
YAY Cramps Rachel! COME ON AF!

Yeah! I was so excited! DH and I had promised to BD every other day and not stress about it. So with his low libido, I didn't want to push it, but when I saw the EWCM I had to say something. I explained it to him without getting too scientific to ruin the mood. He hadn't felt good all night (pizza and mini corn dogs for lunch will do that to ya. when will he learn!? lol) so I figured it was lost. He was totally down! Even excited! I love that he wants this as much as I do. I'm going to do a OPK around 10 again this morning. Hopefully I catch my surge and didn't miss it yesterday. My temp dropped a little bit today, and my calendar changed my projected fertile days were the 4th, 5th, & 6th with ovulation predicted on the 7th... but this morning the 2nd and 3rd filled in green for "actual" fertile days. AH! Why have I never charted before?! This is so much more helpful. I feel SO much more relaxed and confident that we're doing everything we can!
Rachel- Thats so good to hear! I hope AF is right around the corner for you!!! Ps. we really need an AF animation on here! lol.
Jen - yay for triggering! I hope you get a christmas baby
Kelly - did you test again this morning?
Kay - yay for bd!!!
Natalie - I hope this is your cycle!!
Sara - how are you doing?
As for me I am 10 DPO... BFN this morning but I am not due for AF until Monday. I'm hoping I don't have the random 3 days of spotting like last month if AF does show her face.
My BFF just had a miscarriage so now I'm fearful that even if I get my BFP I will have one too we lamented yesterday that we wish ttc/getting pregnant could just be like it is in the movies.
Kay! Totally, isn't it better with charting? Plus you get something else to play with and obsess over...
Jessie and Rachel, I hope things go smoothly and you can get back to business
As for me...3 dpo and solid crosshairs on FF
Kay...woohoo! That's fantastic dh is so into it too ! I usually get 1-3 days of ewcm before a +opk so hopefully any day now...woot! I feel like charting gives more peace of mind too .
Jessiebee...praying you get a bfp soon (((hugs)))!!
Natalie... for CH!!!!
My test this morning was bfn...took an answer brand to make sure so it was evidently a defective test yesterday...hoping for the real deal next week!

From WENN.com
Britton adopted a baby son, Yoby, from Ethiopia in 2011, and insists she loves her role as a mother, but the 45 year old feels awful about leaving her little boy while filming episodes for the musical drama.
She tells People.com, ""I have the most incredible kid and we're having a great time. (But) I didn't really fully comprehend the level of guilt involved (with motherhood).
""I like to pride myself on not being a person who really functions at a level of guilt, and yet, man, I never knew I could feel so guilty when I work 16 hours and I really don't get to spend enough time with my son. It's awful.""
Despite her difficulties, Britton would love to expand her family: ""I would love more kids. Sure, why not? Bring it on.""
