Locked and Loaded. Thanks! P.S. I have actually pulled up her blog while standing in front of the interfacing at JoAnn. So helpful!! P.P.S. Your bag is awesome. I think we're about the same age, and I have been waiting for navy's comeback too. I love dark blues.ReplyDelete
Great blue & gold bag! I love the airoplane pattern. Too cute! thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
I would love to try making a bag! I love the Paparazzi camera bag! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
The Dot Dot Dash Bag!!!But the Soda Pop bag comes in a very close second!! I have been a follower of Sara's for some time now, her work is impressive!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway!
Great colours - I am a huge navy fan too :) I love her Aeroplane bag - that would be brilliant when I go to Paris for 2 nights!!!ReplyDelete
I just love the Aeroplane bag!ReplyDelete
My favorite is Aeroplane bag. So cute.ReplyDelete
LOVE the Petrillo bag!ReplyDelete
I really like the soda pop bag!ReplyDelete
I love the paparazzi bag! Love it!!! thanks for a great giveaway and I adore your bag!ReplyDelete
I love Velocity Girl and Locked and Loaded. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
I have never made a bag and I would love to make the Petrillo Bag!! Thanks for the leads to her site and for the chance for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Love the Aeroplane bag. Love the navy and gold theme you chose for your bag.ReplyDelete
I like the Dot Dot Dash bag. Great giveaway!ReplyDelete
I love bags, using bags, designing bags, making bags, everything about bags! You were right, it was hard to decide which of Sara's patterns I like best, but I'm going to go with Velocity Girl with Locked and Loaded coming in a close second! Ooooh, I would love to win this giveaway! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
I love bags, so does my daughter. The Aeroplane bag is my favorite, but I'd like to make more than one of her patterns :)ReplyDelete
It is hard to pick a favorite!! The aeroplane or the dot dot dash or the soda pop bag!! Thanks for the chance!!ReplyDelete
I love the camera bag!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful bag, Amy...love the navy and gold. I also love Sara's Dot dot dash bag...such a talented lady :)ReplyDelete
I wish we could get the same wide range of interfacings in the UK - it seems to be stiff or floppy in my local shop and that's it!ReplyDelete
I love the Aeroplane bag - such a useful shape and size!
I love the dot dot dash! Thank you for the chanceReplyDelete
I love all of Sara's patterns! I made a velocity girl bag already, but would love to try locked and loaded as well! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Locked and loaded would be my choice. Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
I've just finished the aeroplane bag and would love to try soda pop nextReplyDelete
I love navy too - although I'm sort of conditioned not to pair it with gold because, around here, then all anyone thinks about is that you must be a University of Michigan fan. It isn't that I dislike UM in any way, but I'm not enough of a sports fan to wear a teams colors all the time :) I'll be pairing my navy with a nice spring green.ReplyDelete
This bag looks like it would fit in perfectly here :) http://bostonmqg.blogspot.com/2013/04/quilts-for-boston.htmlReplyDelete
I really want to try the Aeroplane bag.ReplyDelete
I've admired Sara's bags for a while now. Current favorite is the Accordion Bag. I mostly do bags like you -- make it up as I go along! Maybe I should try a well written pattern.ReplyDelete
I really like the look of the Locked and Loaded bag.ReplyDelete
Love the velocity girl bag.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh - I love this bag! And, thanks for the tips on the interfacing (and link). Thank you!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love her conversation bag. I've wanted to make one of my own but it's so intimidating.ReplyDelete
I love the Locked and Loaded bag and Petrillo bag!ReplyDelete
Those are so cute! I really need to make a new bag to tote all the kid stuff to church! --firstname.lastname@example.com
Sorry - forgot to add my favorite Sara bag - the aeroplane!! Also, is the navy blue 'blueberry' or 'slate' (I assume blueberry?). Thanks!ReplyDelete
You are right, it IS hard to pick a favorite. But I loved Paparazzi, maybe the color choice. But they are all so cute.ReplyDelete
I think I like the accordion bag best!ReplyDelete
Aeroplane bag hands down!ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
If I had to pick one I would choose the petrillo bag. They're all really cuteReplyDelete
I love this bag!!! The colors together are gorgeous!! I would love to try either the Petrillo Bag or the Aeroplane Bag. I think something girly is just what is needed in my all male (besides me) household!! At least that way I'd know where to find it when I want it. : )ReplyDelete
I love the Aeroplane bag but also the Petrillo bag. Thanks for the great resource. I have been thinking about making a bag.ReplyDelete
It sure was tough to make a decision, but I'm going with the Aeroplane Bag.ReplyDelete
I love her bags -- especially the aeroplane bag.ReplyDelete
The Soda Pop bag is adorable~~~~!!!ReplyDelete
The Aeroplane bag is my favorite (but there are close 2nd and 3rd favorites, too)! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
Love the aeroplane bag - lovely.ReplyDelete
Sara Lawson's bags are gorgeous, I loved the accordion bag the best. I really enjoy following your blog and think your navy and gold bag is just great. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. Kind Regards Mandy Currie (firstname.lastname@example.com)ReplyDelete
I love navy and gold together! The bags are see cute! I love the fun names! I think my favorite is Aeroplane!ReplyDelete
The petrillo bag is awesome, but I really like several.ReplyDelete
OOOO so cute! I love navy as well!! So classy!ReplyDelete
Super cute bag! I would love to win some patterns! Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
I really like the Accordion Bag. Love that scalloped edge treatment. I so need a new bag with lots of inside pockets so I can find things.ReplyDelete

I so so so so want that aeroplane bag pattern. Oh I have been wanting it:) I love her patterns.ReplyDelete
I love the velocity girl bag !!!!!ReplyDelete
I just love bags so any one of them is great.ReplyDelete
I like the soda pop bag. It would be nice in navy and gold. I love the big grommets.ReplyDelete

Theresa N
I really like Sara's patterns & her Aeroplane Bag is my favourite. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
I've been eyeing up her Aeroplane pattern for a while-thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
Cute bag patterns! I like that Aeroplane Bag! But Locked and Loaded is really cute also!ReplyDelete
You were right, it was hard to choose. But my favorite is the Petrillo bag. Your navy and gold bag is really pretty. Those fabrics look greatReplyDelete
I love the Paparazzi {camera} Bag. Your navy and gold bag looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
Aeroplane, hands down!!ReplyDelete
Love the simplicity of your pattern and how the quilting enhances the fabrics. I like Sara's Paparazzi bag. I have a 241 tote on the go and I bought the Craftsy class on making handbags but I haven't watched it yet.ReplyDelete
I love her handbag patterns - my favorite now is the Aeroplane bag - thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
As you said, it is hard to choose! I like the Locked and Loaded bag best. Thanks for the giveaway and for your always lovely blog!ReplyDelete
I love the Locked and Loaded bag.ReplyDelete
OOH - tough choices indeed! I think I would love to make the Locked and Loaded Bag. I LOVE making bags for myself and others. I usually make myself a new bag/pattern for my birthday (which is next week... I better get sewing soon!) Thanks for the opportunity - I will have to check out her site about different interfacings to use. I have found that over the years they have changed, and some that I loved (fusible fleece, for example)are not as sturdy as they once were.ReplyDelete
:) I love the Paparazie Bag! :) I'd love to win some patterns!! :) Love the selection of fabrics you used! :)ReplyDelete
thanks for the giveaway! I think I like the accordion bag best :) I haven't noticed navy making a come back, but I sure hope it does! I have been on the hunt for good navy fabric lately :)ReplyDelete
Such cute patterns!! I love the Soda Pop pattern! Your bag is adorable, Amy and thanks for the link for the interfacing options- it's always tricky trying to figure out the right one to use.ReplyDelete
I love bags! Your turned out super cute!ReplyDelete
I have had my eye on the Aeroplane bag since I got an email about it! Love her patterns!ReplyDelete
O gosh! Love your bag! Hubby is a big West Virginia sport fan...perfect colors!!ReplyDelete
Cute bag. I love the dot dot dash bag pattern.ReplyDelete
Ooh, I want to try! I love the locked and loaded bag!ReplyDelete
I have NO idea what I'm doing with interfacing. Huge help!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway! I love your bag! I also love Sara's patterns so much that I just bought Aeroplane pattern. I think the next pattern I would go for is Soda Pop. wonderlandbyalyce at gmail dot comReplyDelete
Love your bag! Thanks for the chance to win a give away. I really like the Paparazzi {camera} Bag.ReplyDelete
Would love to win! The colors on your new bag are perfect!ReplyDelete
It's a great bag - pattern or not! Would love a class that walked me through all the linings, stiffeners,etc....... So many projects, so little time.ReplyDelete
It's a great bag - pattern or not! Would love a class that walked me through all the linings, stiffeners,etc....... So many projects, so little time.ReplyDelete
I would have to say the Locked & Loaded Bag would be my choice. :)ReplyDelete
Love the bagReplyDelete
This is way awesome! I think you did an amazing job :)ReplyDelete
I love your bag! I like the Paparazzi {camera} Bag too!ReplyDelete
i like Dot Dot Dash!ReplyDelete
I love making all kinds of bags and to have a new pattern to try would be awesome. Your bag is sew cute and I love the colors. Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway! I think I'd have to choose the Locked and Loaded bag - but that was a hard choice!ReplyDelete
I want them all of courseReplyDelete
Love all the bag patterns. I think I would choose Locked and Loaded but I really like the Soda Pop bag too.ReplyDelete
Very cute bag~ I love the navy and gold! And you weren't kidding about getting lost on Sara's site. :-) I really like her aeroplane bags. But they are all wonderful! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
Love your bag. Locked and Loaded is my favorite of Sara's patterns. Thanks.ReplyDelete
I like the Soda Pop bag! And, I think your navy and gold bag came out great.ReplyDelete
I think my favorite is Dot Dot Dash. I've been looking for a bag pattern that has a slim, tall shape with a zip closure. I agree about Navy Blue, this is a classic color that should never go out of style.ReplyDelete
You did a great job on your bag! It's hard to pick between Sara's bags! It's a toss up between the Dot-Dot Dash bag and the Soda Pop bag!ReplyDelete
I'm loving the Aeroplane Bag. Your bag turned out great!ReplyDelete
I would love to make the Paparazzi bag, thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
I love the Aeroplane Bag! Love the color and style of your tote bag! I am going to check out the interfacing information. It is challenging to pick the right one!ReplyDelete
Urban jungle is my favorite right now!ReplyDelete
Thank you for all this great information, I will sure use it soon!!!

I could not decide. I am a bag-aholic! Heavenly options. firstname.lastname@example.com
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sara and her bags. Her tutorials are brilliant. I have a couple of her patterns and they are so well written and easy to follow. I would love her aeroplane bag pattern.ReplyDelete
I love your bag, especially the fabrics you have used. It looks great!
She has amazing bags...love both soda pop and aeroplane!ReplyDelete
Your bag is adorable! Love the Aeroplane bag :)ReplyDelete
I love the aero plane bag, and the Dot Dot Dash bag.ReplyDelete
Great bag Amy! I love Navy Blue also. ;) I really like Sara's Soda Pop Bag.ReplyDelete
Love your bag! I like yellow and the navy goes so well with it. I think I would like to make theaeroplane bag.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh what good timing! I was just shopping with a new friend who let it be known how much she likes fabric bags and said she'd like to make one with me! I don't know which pattern she will pick, but I'm leaning toward the Aeroplane Bags - I like the idea of making my own weekend bag! I'd learn a lot by making the useful camera bag, and the Petrillo Bag would be a handy all in one way to carry my iPad... I really can't choose. Thank you for putting my name in the hat for the drawing.ReplyDelete
I love your bag, navy is so classic.ReplyDelete
I'd love the Petrillo Bag pattern it would fit all my mummy stuff!
I love making bags, such fun. I like your color choices, makes me think spring is coming.ReplyDelete
I really like the Locked and Loaded bagReplyDelete
Love the Aeroplane Bags. These would make great birthday gifts for older girls.ReplyDelete
The soda pop bag is definitely my favorite!ReplyDelete
I would have to say the soda pop bag is my favorite by far! I love your bag - it turned out great! :)ReplyDelete
What is it about spring that makes us want a new bag?! I like the look of Locked and Loaded.ReplyDelete
Locked and Loaded. I love your bag. I'm a Navy wife and there is a LOT of blue and gold around here. Your fabric choices are great!ReplyDelete

Dot Dot Dash is my pick! Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Love your bag. Beautiful colours and the quilting makes it just perfect.ReplyDelete
I tested the Dot Dot Dash bag for Sara and loved it. You're right it's hard to pick one but if I have to then I choose Locked and Loaded.
I don't need any patterns Amy - I just wanted to pop in and say how much I love your bag! I'm really happy that navy is making a comeback too!ReplyDelete
Sara's bags are so cute. My favorite is the Locked and Loaded, followed closely by Paparazzi and the Soda Pop bag. Thanks so much for the links to her site.ReplyDelete
I love the aeroplane bag. I have been learning to make tote bags but I have not tried zipper bags yet. That aeroplane bag looks perfect to carry my everyday stuff.ReplyDelete
I love the aeroplane bag! But need to practice making some more basic totes first I think!ReplyDelete
OK, Your right Amy. I like them all ! I really like your Soda Pop bag, "sew" I'll say...that one ! Thanks Amy !ReplyDelete
I like the aeroplane bag for sure!ReplyDelete
The Aeroplane bag is awesome - I'd love to try it! Thanks for the opportunity.ReplyDelete

I am liking the Aeroplane bags...so cute! cwhelan at williamwoods dot eduReplyDelete
I love the shape of locked and loaded! I've made a few bags, but it's been awhile-it would be really fun to do another!ReplyDelete
velocity girl bagReplyDelete
This would be a lovely bag to make for my traveling companions.
Thanks for the chance to win! I love the Soda Pop bag pattern.ReplyDelete
Hard to choose. I like the Velocity Girl Bag. Making a bag is on my list of "do's and try's". Velocity looks like an easier one for my first attempt. :) Love how your bag came out. So darling!ReplyDelete
love the locked and loaded bag. Way cute.ReplyDelete
I have been in handbag mode lately! Her site will be very helpful, thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
I really like the 'Locked and Loaded' pattern!
All the bags are cute, I really like lock and loaded .ReplyDelete
I love your bag! Like them all, but the Petrillo Bag looks fun!ReplyDelete
Your bag is wonderful. I agree, the combination of navy blue and gold is always very classic and stiking. You are so right - hard to choose just one bag from their fabulous collection, but I would have to go with the Aeroplane bags.ReplyDelete
What a great giveaway! I love the Aeroplane Bag. Thanks for the chance.ReplyDelete
The soda pop bag is my favorite! Aeroplane is second.ReplyDelete
Favorite...I love them all! And I must say that I love the colors of this bag, beautiful!ReplyDelete
I love how your bag turned out. Love the colours. My 3 Fav Bags are: Paparazzi Bag,soda Pop Bag, and Locked and Loaded Bag. I couldn't pick just one :-). I made a bag for my cousin in Texas (I'm from Ontario, Canada) and she said she has gotten ssoooo many compliments on it. Handmade certainly is the best :-)ReplyDelete
Your bag is adorable! As for the patterns, I love Velocity Girl! All the pockets make it a winner! Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
I took a peak at Sara's shop and fell in love with the Locked and Loaded bag. There is just something about the shape of the bag that really appeals to me. Thanks for directing us to her site. I am a novice at bag making and look forward to her wise words about bag interfacing and etc.ReplyDelete
Love, love, love your bag!!! Just my style and color!! Great job :)ReplyDelete
Soda Pop is my favorite from Sara's shop.
I'd love to try my hand at making a bag.
I really like your bag!!! Navy and yellow are my colors!! I really like the Soda Pop Bag from the shop.ReplyDelete
The aeroplane bag is great:). Love you quilted bag too lxxReplyDelete
I love the aeroplane bag!ReplyDelete
I love your navy and gold bag. Navy is one of my favourites, an old classic really, and goes with so many other colours. I love Sara's bags. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a pattern.ReplyDelete
I love how your bag turned out! I have been eyeing the Glimma fabric for a little while and was thinking about ordering some. I just checked out Sew Sweetness and I think my fav bag is the camera paparazzi bag! Thanks for this opportunity!ReplyDelete
LOVE!! I wanna try a bag! I love the Aeroplane bag!ReplyDelete
I love the one pictured on your blog using Jay McCarroll's Center City print.ReplyDelete
For myself, I want..... no, I NEED to make a Velocity bag for myself. O. M. G. compartments!!!!!!!! Buuuuuuut........ I think if I made many Sunrise Clutch bags they would make beautiful gifts for friends and family. That would be really fun to try as well. Thanks for sharing such a great resource for fun bag patterns.ReplyDelete
Loving the Aeroplane bag! Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
satterfieldfamily AT sbcglobal DOT net
I really like her new pattern, the Soda Pop Bag. And I'm like you about navy, it's one of my favorites despite having to wear it as part of my high school uniform for four years (navy blue bottoms w/wo navy sweaters and white blouses). Thanks for the give away!ReplyDelete
I think I pick Soda Pop Bag! Thanks!ReplyDelete
My favorite is a tie between the Aeroplane bag and the Petrillo bag. Thanks!ReplyDelete
I think the Soda Pop bag...it would make a great "day at the park" tote!ReplyDelete
You're right, choosing only one is difficult. I like both "Locked and Loaded" and "Paparazzi". If I have to pick only one I think it would be "Paparazzi".ReplyDelete
Those are all beautiful bags! I think I like the Aeroplane bag best--how useful for traveling!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great giveaway! :)
It looks above my skill level, but I love the petrillo bag!ReplyDelete
This is such a timely post because I have been looking at bag patterns for some great pre-quilted fabric I have bought recently. You're right about the tough decision, but I think the Aeroplane Bag and the Paparazzi Bags are the best fits for my current wishes.ReplyDelete
krseitz at earthlink dot net
I love the Aeroplane bagReplyDelete
She has so many great patterns. I like the Locked and Loaded bag best right now.ReplyDelete
Well, maybe the locked and loaded bag, but they all look nice.ReplyDelete
Love the Aeroplane bag!ReplyDelete
I just bought the Aeroplane bag and I love all her patterns. I would choose the soda pop, paparazzi and locked and loaded. Thanks for the chance to win it. By the way, I love your navy and gold combination! Great bag!ReplyDelete
I think the petrillo bag is my favorite!ReplyDelete
I have been sewing for many years but haven't made bags. It would be wonderful to win a set of patterns to try. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I love making bags and LOVE the Soda Pop bag you're showing on your blog, but it was a difficult choice to make.ReplyDelete
I'm in love with the Aeroplane!ReplyDelete
How does one choose their favorite between all those wonderful bags. Tough decisions, but since I must choose one, I think the Dot Dash Bag is pretty cool with the three zippers down the front. Too cute!ReplyDelete
Khauglan (at) yahoo dot com
They are all great bags...I think my first favorite would be the Locked and Loaded. Thank you for the chance to win a pattern.ReplyDelete
I love love love the Caliti Convertible Clutch!!!ReplyDelete
I like her aeroplane bag the best. Your bag turned out so cute.ReplyDelete
I like the Petrillo bag, but those pleats on the front intimidate me! Love a chance to win some patterns. Thanks. email@example.com
I liked the Locked and Loaded bag and I loved your navy and gold bag. Thanks for the chance to win a pattern!ReplyDelete
Wow, your bag looks fantastic, Amy! I love the Glimma collection. And it does work really well with the navy you threw in there. I love bags, and making them also. Sadly, I never seem to keep them for myself! I don't think it was fair of you to ask us to choose just ONE of Sara's bags to like. They are all so deliciously good! But if I have to choose I think I might have to go with the Locked and Loaded bag. Very trendy!ReplyDelete
I love how your bag turned out! I think of Sara's, the Soda Pop is my favorite.ReplyDelete
Sara's Petrillo Bag is my favorite!ReplyDelete
I can't decide if my favorite is the Aeroplane bag or the Locked and Loaded bag.ReplyDelete
I love the Aeroplane Bag, super cute!!! :)ReplyDelete
What a fabulous bag! I love the Dot Dot Dash Bag the best! Thanks for a chance to win! :)ReplyDelete
I've been wanting to give bag making a go, so this giveaway would be awesome to win! Love the Petrillo bag. Gorgeous!ReplyDelete

Ok you were right it is hard to decide on one of the bags. Actually there were five I like best, well I like all of them but five really grabbed my eye's at first glance. The Accordion, Paper-Pieced Sunrise Clutch, Soda Pop, Locked & Loaded & the Paparazzi (camera)Bags. Today is the first time I've been on your site & I'm really enjoying it & look forward to getting to know you better through your blog. By the way your bag is very pretty. I love Navy Blue also. I do have a few questions for you. I have been wanting to start a blog of my own but I have Crohn's Disease & I never know how I'm going to feel. So my questions to you is do you have to write in it a certain day's of the week? And where do you get all of your ideas from? Like your tutorials do you make up all of your own patterns or how do you know what to write about? Plus where do you find time to read everyone's posts or answer their questions? Do you wish you had more free time to yourself & your family? I'm sure that I sound silly asking you all of these questions but I have always been the type to ask & I figure if it's to silly then it wont be answered. Thanks for your help, I truly appreciate your time.ReplyDelete
Love your site, have bookmarked for further study. Love all the bags, but Soda Pop would be my front runnerReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Maybe your computer is just too heavy . Nah, I'm with Kenzo, slow happens, usually due to external reasons. It seems to take a while to build up fitness to increase average speed over 27kmh anyway.

Nutrition is an ever-changing science with one consistent message: If you are above a healthy body weight, lose weight. The World Health Organization, the National Academy of Sciences, and many other organizations consider weight loss to be the first line of action for decreasing the incidence of diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. In 2007, the American Diabetes Association stated in its clinical practice recommendations that for people who already have Type 2 diabetes, even moderate weight loss (on the order of 5% of body weight) can improve insulin sensitivity, lower fasting blood glucose levels, and reduce the need for medication.
Yet, while the message promoting weight reduction for those who are overweight is quite clear, there is no consensus on the best way to achieve weight reduction, even among health professionals. There is evidence that supports high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets, and there is evidence to support low-protein, high-carbohydrate diets. But no matter what approach is recommended, there is one thing that is clear: To reduce body weight, you must reduce the number of calories consumed.
According to the North American Association for the Study of Obesity and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Obesity Education Initiative, for weight loss to occur, caloric intake should be reduced by 500–1,000 calories per day from what a person is currently consuming. Eating 500 calories less per day will result in a weight loss of 1 pound per week, while eating 1,000 calories less per day will result in a weight loss of 2 pounds per week. However, it's important not to cut back on calories too much. In general, for weight reduction, the Obesity Education Initiative recommends that most women consume at least 1,000–1,200 calories per day, and that men and women who weigh more than 165 pounds consume 1,200–1,500 calories per day.
What are calories?
Technically, a calorie is a unit of energy. One calorie from food is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water, at 15°C, by 1°C. In more practical terms, calories in food provide the energy needed for humans (and other animals) to breathe, eat, sleep, walk, and perform other activities. The number of calories a person needs to maintain his body as is (with no weight gain or loss) depends on his basal metabolic rate, or the amount of energy he expends at complete rest, as well as the number of calories he burns through activity. To find out approximately how many calories you need each day, see "How Many Calories Do You Need?"
Once you know how many calories you need each day to maintain your body mass — or to bring about weight loss or weight gain — you need to know the calorie values of the foods you eat. Scientists use what's called a bomb calorimeter to determine the calorie composition of foods. This device consists of a closed container in which a weighed food sample is burned in an oxygen atmosphere by ignition with an electric spark. The container is immersed in a known volume of water, and the rise in the temperature of the water is noted to determine how much heat is generated.
Energy values of food can also be determined using chemical tests and analyses of recipes to estimate a product's digestible components. This is how the values on food labels are arrived at, because burning food overestimates the amount of energy the human digestive system can extract from the food.

1070: Words for Small Sets
This is nerd troll bait. He is attempting to "troll" or get a certain group of people fired up by taking an unpopular side of the argument just to get the other person angry. And I'm taking the bait.add a comment! ⋅ refresh comments!
I disagree on "A Handful" and "Several". A Handful should be about 4 to 7 and several should be 6 to 8, averaging about 7, which sounds just like several. The other two are within the range that makes sense to me. Also, check out how he sneaks "a couple of friends" and "all three of them" into the image text very sneakily. User:Jeff - From the blog
Several is two or more.
A handful to me is just that. A dozen berries, one hand grenade, 2-3 sticks of TNT, a bird (2 in a bush else where gives 3) or a wild blonde (more than 1 way to be a handful I guess). DruidDriver (talk) 07:09, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
English isn't my natural language, but how common is the word "acrimonious"? Should it be explained? 220.127.116.11 03:40, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Online dictionaries should help. I'm using some addons to my Firefox to help me. The simplest meaning for "acrimonious" should be "bitter", but this is still one of those words hard to describe. --Dgbrt (talk) 21:56, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm inclined to interpret the hover text as him saying that a couple does mean more than two. A couple of friends, and then all three of them. However, the entry does not agree with me. Thoughts? 188.8.131.52 09:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- My guess is that the entry interpreted "all three of them agree" as "your couple of friends agree with you". I think Randell would sooner troll than use inconsistent grammar so, I also think Randell was using couple to mean 3 friends. Who PhD (talk) 13:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Comments: The color is great and feel great but its more of a texas rig tube. I tried the jig head but the tip was a little thick. Used it as a texas rig and toss it into weed pad and it punched cover great.

Do you 'Dare to Care'
The holiday season is upon us. The fact is this is the time of the year that most of us gain weight because we eat too much. The eating is usually compounded with great camaraderie of friends and family gathering to celebrate the different occasions. Unfortunately that's not the case for everyone. Dare to Care Food Bank was founded in 1971, when a stunned Louisville community was confronted with the horrifying news that right in their own city, on Thanksgiving Day, a nine year old boy had died of starvation.
There is an opportunity for everyone to enable kids that don't have food, to enjoy the simple things in life. Whether you own a business or you work for one, you can start collecting canned goods in order to provide for Dare to Care.
Click here for the Food Drive Form.
It is very easy to get started. Just fill out the form, they deliver your boxes. You send out emails and notices to all your friends and family for them to start bringing in canned goods. Upon the completion of your food drive and the thousands of cans you collected, Dare to Care will pick up the boxes. Now you can sleep restfully and be happy to know that you helped thousands of kids have a great Thanksgiving feast. If you wish to be more of a help, there are a lot of options on their website, as well. www.DaretoCare.org
The reality is, whether you've done it before or not, giving is so much better than receiving. The more you receive, the more you want. It's a lost soul approach. But the more you give the more you appreciate and enjoy life. Think of the fulfillment you get watching your kids open up presents. You will be enabling other parents to have that joy in life by simply watching their kids have a great Thanksgiving Day meal. I am personally challenging everyone to donate at least 3 food items before Thanksgiving.
If you don't know where to go to do so, come see us at ProFormance Fitness 2041 River Rd. You can drop your donations off at our location during office hours.
The ProFormance Dare to Care food drive is from Tuesday, November 1st until Monday, November 21st. We will have collection boxes placed around the gym to collect non-perishable food items. If you bring in 3 items, we will enter you into a drawing to win a $100 ProFormance Gift Card! Also Saturday, November 19th will be Bring a Friend Day for Boot Camp 8am and Zumba 10am. Anyone may attend class this day that brings along a donation for Dare to Care. Come join us in our goal to raise 1000 items!

Bert Kremer
Personal Trainer
Co-Owner of ProFormance Fitness
I was born and raised in Louisville along with my four sisters. I graduated from St. X in 98'and University of Louisville in 02'. I have two amazing kids that are much sweeter to life than I ever was.
Although, I didn't really know what all went into it, I dreamed of owning a gym and knew that I wanted to help people out. I consider myself very lucky to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that have existed in my life. I received a degree in Exercise Physiology and a minor in Marketing at UL, both of which were very helpful in getting me where I am today.
I have 10 years experience as a Personal Trainer. I have nationally accredited certifications through NSCA-CSCS and ACE. In 2003 I met Cary Cox and he already had the same visions that I did. We didn't want people sitting around reading magazines on machines. Our past experience from the big box gyms helped us realize we wanted something different. We were looking for real results in a private atmosphere where intimidation doesn't exist. ProFormance Fitness has grown from the original facility three times. The latest addition added another 5000 sq/ft to keep up with demand. We are fortunate to have amazing trainers and lots of energetic clients.

ASAP Rocky
Influenced by the Southern-style swagger of UGK and the rhymes of his hometown heroes the Diplomats, ASAP Rocky gave up slinging drugs in Harlem and moved to Elmwood Park, New Jersey, where he started rapping. By the time he had completed his GED, the self-proclaimed hood outcast had already gained comparisons to Wiz Khalifa and was being championed by Fader magazine, Stereogum, and rap superstar Drake, due to the Internet-leaked singles "Peso" and "Trilla." In 2011, just after he turned 22, ASAP Rocky released the Deep Purple mixtape and followed it months later with the digital release of his debut album Live Love A$AP. After signing a reported large deal with Sony, the album was re-released in February of 2012. - All Music Guide

Muscle building is extremely important. You will find that just because you are getting older does not mean that you are not able to get in shape or stay in shape. There are a few things that you will want to look at however, before you start a new routine to help ensure that you stay safe and know the proper techniques needed.
How Muscle Building help as you age
The first thing that is required to start getting the feeling of training with weights. You will then want to make sure that you are taking in the needed nutrients in order to ensure that you recover and are able to build muscles that are stronger and bigger. The only real difference between muscle building over 40 and before 40 is that you need to account for your hormonal and metabolic changes that occur when you age. You will be able to gain new muscle and also be able to prevent the different side effects that come from when you limit your goals for fitness for life.
You will first want to make sure that you are training with weights 3-5 days each week for an hour or less. When you are over 40 it is important to put an emphasis on training sessions that are brief because the cortisol stress hormone can cancel out the positive effects that you get with training by actually causing your muscle growth to be inhibited. You will want to find one program stick with it for around four or more weeks and then you should take the next month and work on a new routine.
You also need to make sure that you properly warm-up to help with the prevention of injuries. You should walk for 5-10 minutes to get the blood flow increased to your muscles. You will also want to perform a warm-up set for your exercises with weight training. These should be controlled and slow repetitions that help pump blood into the muscles you are training. You should use lighter weights on your warm-ups as help prepare your body for the heavier weights to come.
Another important thing to remember is that you need to do cardiovascular(cardio) right after you have finished building muscle. This should be a 30 minute session that involves riding an exercise bike or walking on the treadmill. This will help you to burn fat nearly exclusively. Remember that you want to only do low-intensity cardio however, because it will help to preserve the muscle tissue. Higher intensity cardio will burn this tissue for energy.
You want to strive to eat six small meals each day when you are muscle building.. You will want to eat low-fat proteins, lean meat, carbohydrates that are low-glycemic, and foods that contain healthy fats. Your insulin levels will stay lower when you are eating meals more frequently which will prevent your body from storing excess fat, as well as help to prevent spikes with cortisol, which will then burn away muscle instead of build it.
Benefits of Muscle Building Over 40
There are a number of benefits that you will notice when you start muscle building over the age of 40. The first is that you will have more wisdom and patience. When someone that is young starts muscle building they end up giving up a lot of times because they cannot handle the fact that the process is one that is very gradual. You have a much better chance of actually following through as you age and learn more about patience. You will also find that one that starts muscle building when they are in their 20's will start to have aches in their joints by the time they are in their 40's and by the time they are in their 60's it could be even worse, with a lot of life still ahead of them. When you get a later start you don't have the same aches and pains that someone who started 20 years before you would have.
You will also find that getting healthier will give you a number of benefits as well. As you start to lose some of the fat and gain muscle you will find that you will feel better also. People who have a normal workout routine tend to have less stress and be able to sleep better as well. The number of benefits that you can get from muscle building at this age is amazing. You will find that the cardio workouts will also help to improve on the health of your heart which at this age is becoming increasing more important.
Examples of Muscle Building Exercises
Hammer Curl- You will need to hold the dumbbells so that they are facing the outer side of your thighs. You should exhale and then bend your elbows, raise the dumbbells until they are nearly to your shoulders. Inhale and then lower them slowly.
Preacher Curl- For this exercise you would rest the back side of your arm on a pad for support while you hold the dumbbell, face your palm up. You should raise the dumbbell slowly, and then lower it until you reach the starting position. If you are preforming this exercise and something should not feel right you would want to talk to a fitness professional before preforming any more. Some exercises are not recommended for everyone.
Don't forget bench presses and chin ups, along with other traditional methods of muscle building that you are likely to already know about. Many of the methods you have used before or seen others use are great for building muscle at age 40 as well.
It is important that you keep all this in mind as you work to build your muscle and become healthier. Remember that building muscle is great but eating is extremely important as well. You need to eat healthy and make sure that you are taking in enough protein before and after your exercise routines. Protein helps you to build muscle and when you take it after your workout it helps to repair the muscle, if you don't eat it you might actually find that you have lost a bit of muscle mass and not accomplished your goal.

Eve Ensler Rising: One of America's Most Amazing Activists Is About to Pull Off Her Biggest Event Yet
I have known Eve Ensler for almost thirty years, and I have never talked to her about my vagina. We have done lots of other things. In the early 1980s, before she was a famous playwright, author of The Vagina Monologues and founder of the global anti-violence movement, V-Day, we were part of a group that camped out in Battery Park to protest nuclear weapons entering New York Harbor. We danced the can-can across the entrance to the Nevada nuclear test site in 1987 as part of a demonstration against the Reagan administration's resumption of nuclear testing. To highlight the lack of affordable housing and the power of rich developers in New York, we served brunch to homeless people on long, white, linen-covered tables in front of the Plaza Hotel.
Eve and I danced, laughed, got arrested, got released, but we never talked about my vagina. Not that Eve didn't ask. She once tried to persuade me by saying she was short of "happy vagina" stories. My vagina was happy enough, but it wasn't about to talk. If you're looking for happy parts, muttered my radical feminist self (to herself), why not the clitoris? Besides, isn't women's liberation supposed to be freeing us from biology as destiny, identification by body part?
As the 1990s advanced, Eve drew more into theater, I into journalism. We slept in the streets less and traveled the world more, on crisscrossing tracks; I to Northern Ireland, Central America, Haiti, the Middle East, Croatia, Berlin; she to Berlin, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Haiti, later Afghanistan.
Then, in 1999, I found myself participating in The Vagina Monologues at Madison Square Garden. The whole event was wildly improbable. Part ringmaster, part mistress of ceremonies, Eve stood in bare feet in the gaping hugeness of that 18,000-seat stadium. Jane Fonda performed giving birth; Glenn Close exploded the word "Cunt!" loud enough to rock the very highest bleacher. I helped to hold a piece of glass for one of Elizabeth Streb's dancers to fly through, after which Queen Latifah stormed past us and into the spotlight, bellowing, "This is a Rape Free Zone!"
Madonna, eat your heart out! Eighteen thousand people—teen trendies, twin-set professionals, peacenik grandmas, dads, sons, lovers, kids and teary feminists—were all suddenly screaming one word, "Vagina!"
It was then that I told my snarky intellectual self to take a hike. I told the radical feminist to take a break, and I gave up the snark about all things Ensler.
Eve had stopped asking me about my vagina, but she hadn't stopped asking. She had kept on, asking more than 200 women everywhere she went. What she tapped into wasn't the clinical truth of individual bodies but rather a broad body of evidence of an invisible, silenced epidemic of rape, assault, brutalization and hate that scarred women of every age, every race, every class, on every continent.
Propelled by what she heard, Eve didn't just write a play, The Vagina Monologues, and perform it herself for years. She created a fundraising engine for grassroots groups working to combat violence against women, and she sparked a movement. V-Day was founded in 1998 and incorporated a couple of years later.
Once she had earned what she says was a healthy sum and "enough" from the commercial production, Eve gave many of the rights to the play to those who wanted to perform it to raise funds for anti-violence groups in their communities. Facilitated by the small officeless staff of V-Day, The Vagina Monologues has raised more than $90 million for grassroots anti-violence projects, mostly from nonprofessional performances around Valentine's Day. There have been 5,800 performances around the world in 2012. V-Day has also conducted yearlong "spotlight" campaigns and contributed directly to groups in particular danger zones, including Afghanistan, New Orleans, Haiti, Juarez and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Graduate Study in Education
Ithaca College offers two graduate programs in education, both designed to prepare academically-talented liberal arts graduates for careers as teachers.
Master's Degrees Offered:
- Adolescence Education (M.A.T.)
Initial certification for middle school and high school teaching, grades 7-12
- Childhood Education (M.S.)
Initial certification for elementary school teaching, grades 1-6
Both programs are approved by and registered with the New York State Education Department. Graduates of our programs are fully eligible for initial teacher certification in the state of New York, which has certification reciprocity agreements with more than 30 other states and jurisdictions.
An Intensive Experience
Students are admitted in cohort groups each year and participate together in rigorous coursework and extensive field experiences. Both programs are full-time, one-year programs that begin in the summer; just 12-13 months later, our graduates have earned their master's degrees and full eligibility for certification.
School Partnerships
The programs offer multiple opportunities for observations, tutoring, and teaching opportunities across grade levels in suburban, rural, and urban schools. A highlight for our students is the week-long fall experience in New York City schools, including our partnership school, the nationally-recognized Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem.
Educational Equity and Excellence
Our faculty and students collaborate with public school personnel to improve educational equity and excellence. Cultural awareness and culturally-responsive teaching are emphasized throughout the program in order to ensure support for the personal development and academic achievement of all learners. Our graduates gain the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to make a positive difference in the lives of the children and adolescents with whom they work.

- 2011 volkswagen touareg hybrid first drive
2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid to start at $60,565
by Autoblog Staff (RSS feed) on Nov 1st, 2010 at 4:01PM
After putting the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid through the wringer (meaning: we assessed it for our first drive), we dubbed it, "a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid for the people." Why'd we compare it to a Porsche? Well, the Touareg Hybrid shares its supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, eight-speed automatic transmission and its all-wheel-drive system with the Porsche model, so comparisons between the two should be expected. However, the Cayenne Hybrid, with a base price of $67,700, is too expensive for our tastes, and we'd venture to guess that it's priced beyond the reach of many American buyers... Read More

St. Louis Cardinals pitching ace Chris Carpenter jokes with reporters as he discusses his health and decision not to report to spring training, during a press conference at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on February 11, 2013. Carpenter told club officials last week he was expirencing pain in his hand after throwing a bullpen session and was unsure he could throw again. Carpenter stopped short of saying he is retiring but did indicate he will not throw until he consults with doctors. Carpenter, who has been with the team for 10 years, underwent shoulder surgery last season and did not return to the team until September 2012. UPI/Bill Greenblatt

FLOS Lighting
FLOS was founded in 1962. The very same year they began producing a number of lamps that were to become classics in Italian industrial design. These first lamps were Arco, Relemme, Toio and Taccia all designed by Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni. As a tangible proof of their timeless design and technical excellence, these lamps continue to be produced today.
It all started with cocoon . . .In 1959 Arturo Eisenkeil from Merano, an importer of cocoon — a spray-on plastic coating produced in the United States — was tracking down possible applications for this new material. He joined forces with Dino Gavina and Cesare Cassina and set up a company to produce lighting fixtures. This marked the beginning of the long-standing association in the area of design with the Castiglioni brothers and Tobia Scarpa. The first cocoon lamps ever created were the offspring of this collaboration: Viscontea, Taraxacum and Gatto by the Castiglioni brothers and Fantasma by Scarpa. FLOS moved from Merano to the province of Brescia in 1964: At first to Nave and then to the current premises in Bovezzo. Sergio Gandini became chairman of the company in 1965. In 1974, the company became the owner of Arteluce one of the key Italian companies in the industrial design sector. Gino Sarfatti, an industrialist and designer, is the founder of Arteluce. Several models designed by Sarfatti himself have been incorporated into the product range.
From the very outset, FLOS has been characterized by its high-quality approach to lamp design and production. Many of the numerous lamps designed for the company, first by Achille and Piergiacomo, are undoubtedly some of the best-known and most successful products of industrial design. They have won awards and historical critical accolades, and are included in all the most important collections and design museums around the world.
FLOS' production will continue to be imbued with various design trends that embody their attention to leading-edge research combined with highly-efficient production, sales and communications. In 2002, the company celebrated forty years production of designer lamps.

Reviews for Roasted Vegetable Penne Bake
Sort By :
"This is delicious - excellent flavor!"
"I absolutely loved this dish the first time I made it (only a week ago) and I am still eating leftovers. I can't wait to use fresh veggies from the garden next spring! Admittedly, my husband wasn't thrilled but he is closed-minded in the food department and refuses to eat anything in the squash family, tomatoes and mushrooms."
"This was one of the best dishes I have ever tried. We are a family that loves pasta and have tried many pasta dishes. I cannot say enough about this one. We did add extra cheese to it. And to my surprise, my son loved it and he hates vegetables. I have passed it on to all of my family members who also love it."
"I also added italian sausage... so not so we now call it Garden Penne. so delish"
"This was delicious! I did not use the butter, but I did add Italian chicken sausage. I could only find shredded provolone that came mixed with shredded mozzarella, so I just used a 1/2 cup of that. My husband loved this too. I will definitely make this again."

Hi everyone--
I teach Kindergarten, and my state has very strict requirements for English Language Development. The one that consistently boggles my mind is the Grammar component. By state law, I am to give my kindergarten students one hour a day of explicit grammar instruction. My instinct is to do this through oral language activities, but from what I read in the state regulations, that is not good enough. They seem to want specific lessons on parts of speech, grammar rules, and so on. 5 year old children in regular programs don't have this requirement, and I have been unable to locate grammar materials for children this young. The closest thing I have to use is called "Mountain Language" and it is excellent -- and I can use it to fill about 15 minutes. Aside from that, does anyone have any ideas?

Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
The purpose of Jesus's art was to give verbal, visual, and dramatic forms to those complicated and confounding relationships, symmetries, and harmonies between himself, the father and spirit, and between the triune God and the world… Such creative expressions did not and do not make everything clear, but rather resist simple clarity, forcing their hearers to come at the whole complicated truth from a position of intellectual and spiritual humility.
The great irony lies here: these partisans are actually leading good-hearted people to reject their faith, precisely because these partisans have convinced these good-hearted people that they must accept a false dichotomy.
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
This week in origins news is a rousing medley of articles about science and faith, from multiple angles. Some classics on science, religion, and the classroom along with some probing into where atheists come from, new resources from John Polkinghorne, and an off-the-beaten-path blog post.
Most Christian students have a lot of questions about evolution and the other controversies, but are afraid to ask them for fear of the adults gasping in horror. The right way for a Christian teacher to proceed is to accommodate questions, foster inquiry, and encourage students to think and engage with the issues.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
For my part, the historical setting of the text plays an important role in how I read. It's not a problem in my view to see the authors of Genesis embedded in their times, writing in the scientific/mythological terms they knew, even if those terms are now obsolete.
