The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape is working to eliminate all forms of sexual violence and to advocate for the rights and needs of victims of sexual assault.
The links between sexual violence and substance abuse are undeniable, yet rarely discussed. Substances can be used to facilitate sexual violence; victims may have been under the influence at the time of the assault; or victims may be using substances as a coping strategy after the assault. Karla Vierthaler, Outreach Coordinator for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, has put together a few resources that will highlight information on drug and alcohol use and abuse, the link between addiction, sexual violence and trauma, addiction treatment models and how to best collaborate with these programs.

My cousins and I decided to adopt a healthy lifestyle to lose weight and keep our generation as diabetes-free as long as possible. This race was the first time we all ran together. It was a family reunion and a celebration of health! We hope to make this an annual event. The custom shirts were a hit at the race! People were cheering us on: "Go Cousins!" and commenting on our shirts all day (it also may have helped that we used NC State University's colors! :) CustomInk's design process on the website was so easy and the shirts came out great!

Tokyo 2009: Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo LWB is longer, and therefore better
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Oct 21st, 2009 at 3:40PM
The Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo long wheelbase revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show today doesn't add anything to the less well-endowed Alpina B7 we saw at Geneva except length, but isn't that enough? The double-turbo'd 4.4-liter V8 brings 507 romping horsepower and 516 lb-ft. of torque – all of which is enough to get the white whale to sixty in 4.8 seconds. Alpina's custom 21-inchers support an interior package touched up with the tuner's logo throughout. Our only cause for pause: the much larger steering wheel; the smaller diameter unit in the regular BMW helps to make the execu-barge a hoot... Read More

Are newlyweds Kendra and Hank Baskett expecting a boy?
The E! reality duo hasn't given us the official word just yet, but the mom-to-be and her hubby dropped hints as they made a mad dash to the boy's section of a West Hollywood baby store Friday night.
As Kendra and Hank checked out the clothes and knick-knacks inside Bel Bambini, Kendra couldn't help but gush, sharing the news that her baby on board packed a particularly powerful roundhouse.
"We have a young David Beckham inside of me right now," Kendra told E! News. "He just started kicking….I'm sorry….he or she just started kicking about three days ago".
Hmmm…The mama-to-be is in her second trimester and is due Christmas day.
Unless the former Playboy playmate reveals the news before then, we'll have to wait to see if the little kicker will be sporting blue or pink.
In the meantime, check out our E! exclusive video of Kendra and Hank shopping for baby.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- Collier and Hendry counties have been granted funding to hire additional law enforcement, including school resource officers.
Acting U.S. Attorney A. Lee Bentley, III in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), today announced funding awards for the Middle District of Florida. The grantees and amount awarded include: Collier County Sheriff's Office - $500,000, Hendry County Sheriff's Office - $904,895, Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office - $1,250,000, and Pasco County Sheriff's Office - $1,250,000.
Overall the COPS Office funded awards to 263 cities and counties, aimed at creating 937 law enforcement positions. More than $125 million will be awarded nationally, including nearly $45 million to fund 356 new school resource officer positions.
The COPS Hiring Program offers grants to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to hire or rehire community policing officers. The program provides the salary and benefits for officer and deputy hires for three years.
Grantees for the 2013 hiring program were selected based on their fiscal needs, local crime rates, and their community policing plans. There was an additional focus this year on agencies requesting assistance in developing school safety programs that would include the hiring of a school resource officer. School resource officer positions funded by the COPS Office are sworn law enforcement positions that work within a school district or facility, interacting directly with school administrators and students.
The COPS Office is a federal agency responsible for advancing community policing nationwide. Since 1995, COPS has awarded over $14 billion to advance community policing, including grants awarded to more than 13,000 state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to fund the hiring and redeployment of approximately 125,000 officers and provide a variety of knowledge resource products including publications, training, and technical assistance.
For the entire list of grantees and additional information about the 2013 COPS Hiring Program, visit the COPS website at www.cops.usdoj.gov.

[...] The Beavercreek case illustrates larger, more widespread problems with America's transportation system [...]. The Kirwan Institute is producing a one-hour documentary exploring the Beavercreek case and how racism can influence transportation decision making.

Depicting the Sancaklar Mosque, commissioned by Sancaklar Foundation and designed by EAA -- Emre Arolat Architects, this film is a semi-documentary salute to this distinguished example of modern architecture, which stands out among Turkey's Islamic places of worship dominated by historicist building typologies.

SGMStudio (Sarraf | Galeyan | Mekanik) has filmed a short documentary on EAA – Emre Arolat Architects' Sancaklar Mosque -a building that stands out as one of the rare examples of modern architecture among Turkey's Islamic places of worship. SGMStudio's "Sancaklar Mosque" premiered at Architecture Week Prague and will be on display until October 12th as part of EAA's exhibition. Concurrently, the film will be available online.

Known for its works at the 1st Istanbul Design Biennial's "Musibet" exhibition and cooperations with various NGO's focusing on the built environment, creative media practice SGMStudio visualized the transformation of steel, concrete and stone into a place of worship in the "Sancaklar Mosque" film by following every step of the way, from the start of the mosque's construction until its inauguration.

The full-length version of "Architecture and the Unspeakable", directed by John Szot and produced by Brooklyn Digital Foundry, is now officially released to the public. The film features three architecture proposals by John Szot Studio, who visualized three fictional buildings in SoHo, Tokyo, and Detroit. Each building represents a pathological issue that also contributes to the cultural dialogue in architecture, thus exploring the connection between virtual architecture and the physical world.

The film has been featured at public events throughout the U.S. since last month. An upcoming screening is currently scheduled for November 13 at the Pinkcomma Gallery in Boston.

Check out the film in its entirety right below.

Movies can be great. Art can be great. But put them together in a museum exhibition, and the combination can be not-so-great. [...] A new exhibition of early 20th-century cinema at the L.A. County Museum of Art (LACMA), however, rethinks that equation. [...] Designed by Amy Murphy, a professor of architecture at USC, and Michael Maltzan of Michael Maltzan Architecture, the exhibition design is the antithesis of the traditional framed-stuff-on-a-wall model.

There are houses, and then there's Ricardo Bofill's house: a brutalist former cement factory of epic proportions on the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. A grandiose monument to industrial architecture in the Catalonian town of Sant Just Desvern, La Fabrica is a poetic and personal space that redefines the notion of the conventional home.

Weizman has also made a name for himself as the chief proponent of "forensic architecture", by which he analyses the impacts of urban warfare for clues about the crimes that were perpetrated there. To Weizman, buildings are weapons. When he looks out across the landscape of the occupied Palestinian West Bank [...] he sees a battlefield. "The weapons and ammunitions are very simple elements: they are trees, they are terraces, they are houses. They are barriers."

Hardcore Wes Anderson fan and Lego model designer Ryan Ziegelbauer, in reverence to the director's most recent film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, has made a miniature replica of the Hotel completely out of Legos.

Over the course of 575 hours, Ryan and a team of eight model builders designed and built the hotel, using more than 50,000 Lego bricks sourced from Lithuana, Poland, Latvia, Germany, Italy, and 14 U.S. states. Sadly, the film's cast was not replicated in the model.

For most of the 20th century, Atlanta was known for its public housing. The city had pioneered the concept in the 1930s [...] Two decades later, that proportion has fallen all the way to zero. [...] Looking at these two decades of rapid residential change, Atlanta native and filmmaker King Williams is looking for an answer to a seemingly obvious question. With his in-production documentary The Atlanta Way, Williams asks: Where did all of these people end up?

Silicon Valley is a meticulously researched show [...] and the work spaces that appear on screen are no exception. Production designer Richard Toyon, the man responsible for the visual storytelling, called up friends all over Silicon Valley to get a peek inside the offices of Facebook, Google, Zynga, and others.

If Brougher and other academy leaders can compel the architects to reconcile the clear potential of the new wing's interior spaces with its unconvincing, unwieldy exterior, they may be able to salvage the design before construction begins. If not, they may well have an architectural flop on their hands when the museum opens in 2017 — not to mention the third disappointing Piano building within a quarter-mile radius.

In the center of the sprawling metropolis of Germany's capital, Berlin-Tempelhof Airport stands as both a monument to a darker era in Germany's past and a link to its future.

Built on an airfield where the Wright Brothers once demonstrated their Flyer before a captive European audience, Tempelhof Airport was conceived by the leaders of the Third Reich as a architectural testament to the boundless ambition of German supremacy. Captured by the Soviet Army in 1945 before it could be completed, turned over to American forces following the Conference at Yalta, and then serving as West Berlin's lifeline to the free world during the Cold War, the airport was a central set piece in 20th century history.

After decades of dwindling postwar commercial operation following the construction of other regional airports, a referendum for its closure was narrowly approved in the mid-2000s. Since its official closure in 2008, however, a dramatic new vision for the airport has emerged...

Perhaps you remember Spirit of Space's Art in the City film from back in summer of 2013, meditating on the interplay between city life and public art in Chicago. More recently, the architectural film-making creative agency produced two short films showcasing Steven Holl's work for the Sifang Art Museum in Nanjing, China. SOS has previously worked with Steven Holl on five film pieces, featuring his work in both China and the U.S.

The films follow SOS's tried-and-true style -- one with Holl explaining to the camera his design choices, interspersed with languishing shots of the now-open museum:

Sifang Art Museum: A Conversation with Steve Holl

...and a second, more contemplative film that in turn dwells on the architecture itself:

... you can find in his full body of work a sustained attempt to measure how much the physical or architectural setting of a scene contributes to a narrative and how much it takes us out of one.

To get a sense of the kind of hotel they wanted, Mr. Stockhausen did extensive research with Mr. Anderson. This included looking at vintage images at the Library of Congress of hotels and European vacation spots. They also looked through hotel archives and studied the architecture of locales like the Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

Once a bustling and stylish avenue, now a street that no longer knows its identity or purpose, no other street in Rotterdam provokes as much discussion as the Coolsingel.

 The Coolsingel is Rotterdam's civic artery, a 1km street home to the city's economic, commercial and political focal points. But despite its central position and function for the last century, the street has suffered a bit of an identity crisis, and lacks the vibrancy it once channeled.

 To reinvigorate its presence in the city and honor its history, Sculpture International Rotterdam (along with guest curator Laurie Cluitmans) will transform the street into an outdoor cinema, for a project it calls "Tribute To An Avenue". Every night for a month early next year, short films by accomplished international video artists will be projected onto the Coolsingel's walls and windows, accompanied by special tours including food, music, and nightlife. The event is not only a move to invigorate the space, but to refine its muddle, and draw public attention to the relationship between a city street and its citizens.

 "Tribute To An Avenue" will run every night from January 8 to February 9, 2...

Modern architecture, and the fight for its value in the world, is brought into sharp focus in this documentary examining the battle over the preservation of former Prentice Women's Hospital in downtown Chicago, designed by master modern architect Betrand Goldberg.

 The owner of the building is Chicago institution Northwestern University, which intends to demolish the unique brutalist building, composed of a nine-story concrete cloverleaf tower cantilevered over a rectangular five-story podium.

 The stage is set for what some preservationists believe will be a defining moment in the battle to preserve modern architecture, and poses the question, Who determines the future of the past?

 Directed by journalist and Northwestern alumnus Nathan Eddy, the film made its world premiere at the Durban Film Festival in South Africa and subsequently screened at the Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam and the Architecture & Design Film Festival in New York.

Border crackdown wasteful misspending on immigration
Senate tea party fiscal conservatives' plan is to throw an additional $46 billion on fences, electronics, Apache helicopters, etc. and double again the border patrol. They call it a surge because I'm assuming the surge worked so well in Iraq. This is of course above and beyond the billions in current spending.
They also want the government to prove that 90 percent of the border crossers are caught and returned before the 13-year citizenship process can begin. How will the government prove a percentage like this?
This plan will never work and is only a wasteful misuse of tax dollars (some would say pork to border states) to maintain the status quo of cheap, illegal workers with no rights and protections. The promise of a job is what brings Latin Americans across the border. Therefore, the responsibility should lie with the criminal employers.
The most cost-effective way to shut down illegal immigration is to spend money, not on border security, but to enforce the laws already on the books. Correct problems with E-verify. Track down duplicate Social Security numbers. Fully fund ICE/IRS enforcement, and start prosecuting and fining the employers who are hiring employees under the table.

Trees or flowers now thats art
I agree with George Kirby, whose letter (Junked piece of artwork ready for recycling) appeared in the June 25 Journal Gazette, and with others who wrote earlier. Thank heavens that orange monstrosity was knocked down. What an eyesore. As Kirby said, let's plant a beautiful tree or some beautiful flowers. Now that's art.

Its not about art, its about property rights
I have noticed lately many letters against repairing the damaged art sculpture and few in favor of it. The cons, if you will, all seem to be based on a negative opinion of modern art. Actually, the issue isn't about critiques so much as it is about property rights.
I'll admit, I don't know who owns the sculpture (museum, city or artist loaning it out); however, if a drunk driver crashed into your yard and damaged your property, wouldn't you want it repaired, replaced or to receive recompense for damages if it couldn't be repaired or replaced?
That sculpture is someone's property; aren't they entitled to the same rights as anyone else?

VAs service, care earn five-star rating
In early 2012 I discovered I qualified for veterans' benefits and was scheduled soon thereafter for tests. From that time on I have been diagnosed and treated at least a dozen times at the VA – all but two or three times in Fort Wayne and the others in Marion. Only once was I disappointed somewhat during a brief review interview. But nearing 80 years of age, I've learned even the best among us can occasionally have bad days (And I may have been a little foggy that day, too).
Every other time I have been at the VA, everyone has treated me very well – from my initial check-in to my final checkout and all stops in between. In fact, we are offered rides from our cars to the VA entrance before checking in. Clerks, nurses, doctors, volunteers, janitors, aides – everyone has impressed me as being truly concerned about the welfare of those of us who have served. That care and kindness shows in the café and gift shop workers, as well.
I'm sure some GIs have been disappointed – expecting more than they qualified for. And some clients probably have chips on their shoulders and complain unjustly, at least now and then.
I don't know what the VA was like several years ago, but I can tell you that today the Fort Wayne VA is an A-1 service organization for ex-GIs and has earned a five-star rating in my book.

The City of Omaha wants to take a step back from a plan to help finance a sweeping redevelopment of Crossroads Mall. The City Council will reconsider its vote to place the $50 million Crossroads Village General Obligation bond issue on the May ballot.
The project on the table for the mall at 72nd and Dodge is a $400 million rebuild aimed at converting the aging mall into Crossroads Village, featuring retailers, luxury loft residential units, office space, a hotel and more.
The council voted 7-0 on February 25 in favor of the ballot issue. If the council votes to rescind, the bond question would be removed from the ballot.
The developer, OTB Destination, proposed the General Obligation bonds to pay for infrastructure work including streets, sidewalks and sewers. The developer has agreed to create and maintain a $4 million reserve fund to make the bond payments over the life of the bonds if necessary.
According to a news release from the mayor's office, the project has been getting some push-back from taxpayers.
Mayor Jean Stothert is quoted as saying, "I support the Crossroads Village development, but we need to re-evaluate the financing plan. We're listening to taxpayer concerns about the bonds and I share their concerns. We need more information and more time to guarantee the taxpayers will be protected before we move ahead."
The economic and fiscal impact study of the project is still in progress. The traffic and parking studies are being evaluated and may not be complete before early ballots are available in three weeks.
The Crossroads Village General Obligation bond is separate from the City of Omaha bond issue that would remain on the May ballot.
The council is scheduled to reconsider its vote on the Crossroads bond at its meeting on Tuesday, March 18.

Three Borders Landmark (Argentina)
Originally erected in 1903, the memorials are built around three simple cement obelisks, painted in the patriotic colors of the three respective flags. The view is nice, and all three monuments are surrounded with vendors selling snacks and souvenirs. The Argentine landmark has the distinction of being the easiest to visit, a pleasant walk from the city center along the riverfront.
The view over three nations is at its finest in the golden glow of late afternoon, making it a soothing spot to relax after a day at the falls.

As people who work outside and next to a fire, we here in historic foodways are happy to see the beginning signs of fall. Fall means a break from the heat and the resumption of some of the activities that we can't do properly in high heat like brewing and chocolate making.
We will address the chocolate in a future post so here I would like to talk about beer.
Beer and ale were one of the most loved beverages of 18th-century England and her colonies.
In a world without sodas and energy drinks and all the other beverages we take for granted today, beer served an important role in the beverages of the time. It was the most affordable man-made beverage , and was considered healthy and nutritious. Many Englishmen got a large proportion of their daily calories from …See the full post

The Historic Foodways staff is not known for letting grass grow under our feet. We are continually researching foodways and related subject matter. This research often leads to the creation of new programs, educational opportunities and training, working with vendors and hosting symposiums here at Colonial Williamsburg.
Staff members get the opportunity to participate, both as attendees and presenters, at a variety of conferences and symposiums. This year Melissa Blank and I attended the annual ALHFAM conference as representatives of both Historic Foodways and Colonial Williamsburg. We were two of seven members from Historic Trades who attended the conference in Calgary in the province of Alberta, Canada.

Here in Colonial Foodways, we feel overjoyed and fortunate to have three new interns with us this summer.
All three are examining aspects of the social history of 18th-century Virginia foodways, concentrating on how food procurement, preparation and fashion have intersected with politics, class and gender. Each comes with a unique set of interests, experiences and training — which will only enrich our program as they develop their own particular historical-knowledge base and culinary repertoires.
Tiffany Fisk-Watts has been studying and interpreting colonial foodways for the past 15 years, focusing on the Eastern Pennsylvania region. In addition, she earned her MA in history with concentrations in colonial and public history, and works as a curatorial, archival and nonprofit management consultant. In addition to hearth-cooking and
consulting, Tiffany enjoys reading, gardening, and maintaining a list of answers to the question: "Aren't …

We're moving on in our series on preserving meats — this time to beef.
There are some important differences in this process compared to pork but both start with the butchering of the animals with axes.
Big Cuts with Interesting Names
We know that colonial butchers always used axes.
Ax marks were found on the bones our archeologists have recovered throughout the historic area.
We also know from the bones and the butchering charts of the period that 18th-century beef cuts were much larger than the modern ones.
They also had some interesting names like mouse buttock and leg of mutton.
The reason there different processes in curing beef and pork is primarily because of the molecular structures of the tissues.
But both processes start the same way: Raw meat is packed with a mixture of salt, a little brown …See the full post

Our Hogs to Ham program re-creates the hog butchering programs of the 18th century. The whole carcass is brought into town and process begins after the hogs have been gutted and the hair has been removed.
We use axes to cut the animals into smaller portions that will either be salted or eaten fresh. The first step is to pack a mixture of salt, salt peter and brown sugar into the hams, bacons and shoulders.
The meat will be stacked in the salt tubs with layers of salt– and they will stay this way for six to eight weeks.
The exact time depends on the winter temperature. In very cold weather, the meat freezes and the salt cannot remove the moisture, so the process just stops. It can remain just like this — sort of in limbo — until the …See the full post

Incredibly, the folks who create Thangkas -- generally Buddhist monks who live with their heads in the clouds at the top of the world -- don't consider them works of art. Rather, each intricately complex banner, colorfully depicting mandalas, Buddhas or bodhisattvas, is intended as a kind of spiritual lesson, prayer or charm for their Himalayan constituents. But damn if they aren't beautiful to look at, too. Melissa and Dinesh Shakya, the young owners of Nepali Bazaar, hand-pick theirs from the streets of Kathmandu, and their taste and care are evident in the selections they offer. And did we mention the reasonable prices? That excellent selling point spreads to the rest of the not-to-miss exotic merchandise, which includes brass Buddhas, bright ceremonial masks, gorgeous pressed-wool handbags, raw-silk wrap skirts with an elegant drape, fringed hand-knit cardigans and an unexpected trove of things for children, such as carved-wood rocking horses, tiny embroidered overalls, ethnic dolls and shiny brocade jackets. Enough to make you say Namaste!

Her cherubic cheeks and wide eyes are recognized all over the world as the face of Gerber baby food. And while many people think the iconic illustration is a composite of idealized adorable babies, it's actually based on a real person: Ann Turner Cook. In 1928, Cook's neighbor Dorothy Hope Smith submitted a drawing of then 4-month-old Ann to a contest searching for "a face to represent a baby food advertising campaign." Smith's charcoal sketch won, and the simple illustration (which was competing against elaborate oil paintings) has represented the Gerber brand ever since. "That face is honored for 'We're doing the best we can for our child,'" Gerber's CEO says about the indelible image.
Ann Turner Cook is now 87 and a great-grandmother, but her kids always got a kick out of their mother's famous face. "My own children would go through a grocery store, and they would point to the Gerber baby food and say, 'That's my mother's picture,' to whoever was walking by," she CBS Sunday Morning. The company thanked her for her contribution to the brand in the 1950s, and Cook used the money to put a down payment on a house and buy her first car. Still, Ann's favorite part of her lifelong experience is hearing other people's loving associations with her portrait. "It reminds them of their own babies. Everybody says 'My baby or my grandchild looks like the Gerber baby'regardless of ethnicity. I can't think of anything nicer than being a symbol for babies and that's what I think I became."

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 300°F. Butter four 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix sugar, ginger, and coriander in small bowl. Peel apples, halve through stem end, and remove core. Slice apple halves crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Place thin layer of apple slices in each prepared custard cup, overlapping slices; brush lightly with melted butter. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon sugar mixture over each, then sprinkle very lightly with orange peel. Repeat layering apple slices, brushing with melted butter and sprinkling with sugar mixture and orange peel until all apples, butter, sugar mixture, and peel are used (there will be about 8 or more layers of apples in each custard cup and cups will be very full). Cover tops of cups with plastic wrap, then foil. Using small sharp knife, pierce 4 holes through foil and plastic wrap of each to allow steam to escape. Place cups with apple mixture on prepared baking sheet. Place 1 empty custard cup or ramekin atop each to weigh down.
Bake apple mixture until very soft and reduced in volume by about half (some of melted butter may spill out onto baking sheet), about 2 hours. Remove empty custard cups. Transfer cups with apple mixture to rack and cool at least 20 minutes. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and refrigerate. Rewarm, uncovered, in 300°F oven until just warm, about 15 minutes.
Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Spoon cream atop apple mixture in each cup.

The Fairy Tale pumpkin is part of that collective of foods that are too pretty to eat. There is seriously no better use than to turn one into a carriage and ride it to a fancy party.
The Mennonites were selling Fairy Tale pumpkins at my local market last weekend for a dollar a pop. I bought two. Fairy Tale pumpkins, along with Cheese pumpkins, are the absolute best for making pumpkiny desserts. AND both usually cost five dollars each.
Remember how I'm broke?
I had a box of this in the cupboard...
The universe was calling me to make something...
Okay, so I didn't make the crust by hand.
So this was a step for me. Not a big step. But a step.
I mean, first off... this happened...
My Gluten Free Pantry Pie Crust refused to roll for me. It turned into a big lump - like cookie dough. This possibly could've been avoided if I added oil or gluten free flour to the rolling area.
But I wasn't feelin' that.
So I just pushed it into the pan and...
Every time I make pumpkin pie, I do it differently. I've made vegan, non-vegan, gluten free, gluteny, non-dairy, dairy... I've made it with regular pumpkins, cheese pumpkins, canned pumpkins... you get me. I even made pumpkin pie with melted ice cream once.
I have yet to fuck up a pumpkin pie.
Okay, that's a lie.
Once - I used molasses as the sweetener. THAT was dumb. Don't do that. It makes for an ugly looking pie that you have to force feed yourself to eat.
Here's this year's recipe...
Farty Tale Pumpkin Pie
2 cups cooked Fairy Tale Pumpkin
1/2 cup almond milk
2 eggs
2 packets stevia
1 Tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Throw everything into a food processor.
Pour into pie shell.
Cook at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
Then cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Set in fridge overnight.
Eat for breakfast because you are great.
What's your favorite thing to do with pumpkin?

November 25, 2014
Sen. Roland Burris says a newly released affidavit about his contact with the brother of ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich was voluntary and not the result of contact from federal agents investigating the former governor.
He says any suggestion otherwise is "absolutely, positively not true."
Burris also insists the Feb. 4 affidavit doesn't go back on previous sworn statements to lawmakers who recommended Blagojevich's impeachment.
Burris spoke to reporters briefly Monday. He didn't take questions.
The affidavit released over the weekend contradicts Burris statements to the committee regarding his contact with Blagojevich's brother and other advisers about the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama.

As Ever
So sorry you had to go thru this. It sucks that the manager made the decision based on your outside projection. hard to figure out a better way.. except to maybe have taken your before and after pics, drop them on her desk..
I know that you'll find a way to get back to where you were. You were doing it for all the right reasons: you were doing it for you. Find those reasons, and take it one day at a time.
I'm also at a 'restart' spot. I too have not gained all the lost weight back.. but enough that I'm not happy. So, I'm taking it one day, one meal... sometimes, one sip of water at a time.
Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing!! That gym doesn't know what they're missing out on, in my opinion...ReplyDelete
Wow! I'm sitting here at work in tears! I can so relate to the feelings of smallness in an oversized body! Thank you for being brave enough to share your feelings and experiences on your journey! I've followed you since day one and I think I may have commented once or twice way back at the beginning, but I couldn't resist adding a comment to this post! I remember one of your first posts on a forum (5xx pounds of me), I can't remember the exact number but I remember how I felt when I read that post. I was about 380 at that time and was losing right along with you but I stopped at about 75 and quickly gained it back. Reading your feelings and thoughts during your triumphs and challenges has helped me to be more honest with myself and work on the mental aspect of this rather than just the diet and exercise part.

First off let me just thank you.. i found your blog back in oct and YOU have totally inspired me to take my life back and lose the weight. Seeing you.. we could ALMOST be twins.. i honestly cannot thank you enough for putting yourself out there like you have with your blog.. I followed suit and started up my own and even have quoted you off some of my pages.. Anyways i to have dealt with dumb people like the gym manager.. I know that small feeling you refer to, we can only push past them and be happy with ourselves and hope they find happiness in life somewhere.. Again thank you for doing your blog.. i come back to it everytime i am feeling down and it totally lights that fire right back under my ass just like it did today!ReplyDelete
All of us who have 'been here' can relate. I am sorry they were too short sighted to see how amazing you would have been at that gym, and for their members. Their loss, and I hope someday you can do what you love and are passionate about in your own way. Hang in there, we're all hanging in there as well as we can.ReplyDelete
It doesn't matter whether it's hundreds of pounds to lose or 50 or 20 - you have perfectly described what it feels like to be working hard and have someone dismissive of you.
You can do this, I know you can. I remember when you used to post your food - in fact every time I see Newman's Own Light Honey Mustard Dressing I think of you!
Focus my man, focus.

These courses complement the program's objectives to provide personal and academic support services designed to increase scholastic achievement and persistence towards graduation. Remember that we are here to support you as you pursue your educational goals.

Former Wonder Years child star Danica McKellar – who's now a mathematician – wed composer Mike Verta on March 22 in a sunset ceremony in La Jolla, Calif. McKellar, who walked down the aisle to a composition by her husband, wore a mermaid-style gown and tiara by Renee Strauss, while the groom went the ultra-formal route, in tails and white gloves – which undoubtedly came off when it came time to cut the triple-tiered devil's food and hot milk sponge cake.
