John and I recently returned from the fabulous Legends of La Cienega festivities that enveloped that amazing street and its surroundings in West Hollywood. Wow, what a delicious few days…
A few highlights from this incredible affair:
-A wonderful keynote hosted by the wonderful Clint Smith, the gregarious editor in chief of Veranda magazine, on the power of authenticity.
-A divine "power lunch" hosted by Elle Decor
-A meet-and-greet cocktail tea at the Scalamandre showroom hosted by the glorious Newell Turner and our favorite Steven Stolman
Plus, John and I paid a visit to all of the amazing showrooms that fill the neighborhood…. The networking, ooh-la-la! The connections! The old friends! Heaven.
Plan to come to Legends of La Cienega 2015… There's really no other design festival that has such a wonderful intimacy.
Legends of La Cienega. It's luscious!

Being present in the digital age can be a hard task. There are many distractions and alarms fighting against the peaceful nature of consciousness. Two weeks ago, I took steps and converted my phone into a mindfulness reminder.
In this time, my attitude towards my phone, the callers and all it's bells and whistles has changed dramatically. When the phone rings, regardless of the caller, I take a peaceful breath, smile and answer calmly. Some great conversations have come about from this peaceful attitude. When looking at my phone, I smile; I see a pray wheel. When my alarm wakes me up, it's now a loving, warm chant.
If you would like to convert your phone into a tool of mindfulness, below are the tools:-
Alarms become Om Mani Padme Hum Chant
Phone calls become Mindfulness Chimes
The background becomes a Pray Wheel
Update: Here's a larger Prayer Wheel. (Prayer Wheels from dharma-haven.org)
Enjoy, and may they bring you the peace and happiness they've brought to me.

I believe that bipolar disorder is an illness that sits on top of who I am. The real me is under there - it's just often obscured by mood swings. In 1998, I started to distinguish between myself and bipolar disorder. I discovered that the depressed me is weepy, nervous, hopeless, self deprecating, lonely and sad. The psychotic me is paranoid, scared, hallucinating and suspicious. The manic me is Awesome! Beautiful! Magical! Genius! Loud! Life of the party! and CREATIVE!
But the real me is…..
Compassionate and...
OK with who I am!
These qualities might not always be positive, but they don't make me sick.
If you have bipolar, who is the real you underneath the bipolar?
If you care about someone with the illness, how would you describe the real person underneath the illness?
Once you find the real you, it's a great management goal for life to distinguish between bipolar and yourself so that you can treat the bipolar first (the motto of all of my books!) and let the real and beautiful you shine.
I know that readers of this blog would love to read your answers to the above questions. And definitely send me any questions you may have about finding the real you or helping someone you care about find out who they are separate from this illness. Let's figure out who we are!

One of the things that has surprised me the most since starting to work for bp Magazine (over 4 years ago) is how many people are affected by bipolar disorder. Out and AboutWhen I talk to new people about my job I almost always hear something along the lines of "My [insert family member] has bipolar disorder. I had no idea there was a magazine about it." This happens EVERYWHERE and ALL THE TIME!Business DealingsLast month when I was arranging a photoshoot for the magazine I had to work with two different photographers. BOTH of the photographers told me that they had a family member that had bipolar disorder and that they would OF COURSE love to do some work for a magazine that might help them. Right Here, Right NowIt is even evident here in our office building. Our publisher always leaves copies of the latest issue outside the office door for people to take and read. The new issues always fly out of the holder!It makes me feel good about what we are doing here (bp Magazine, bphope.com, bphope forum, bphope blog) when I hear or see these things. Although stigma may keep people from shouting about their bipolar disorder - you should never feel alone - you're not! I can vouch for that!Beatrice L. (Art Director)

Airports were closed. People were irritable and cold. Nobody was going anywhere. New York City experienced one of it's worst blizzards in history yesterday. But unlike the two-feet of snow that'll be gone soon with the help of the sun and an army of snow plows, a person dealing with their own inner storm will take a bit longer to dissipate.
Winter takes a physical toll on many things. Plants die and birds head south. But human beings are also affected emotionally and psychologically. While bears hibernate in caves, people go inside themselves.
Here are six ways that help keep me out of my dark places:
• THE SUN: Bipolar or not, lack of sunshine affects ones mood. Considering I don't reside in Hawaii, I use sun lamps to brighten my "Winter Blues."
• DOWNWARD FACING DOG: Whenever I feel anxious, I force myself to go to yoga. Opening up my chakras does wonders.
• LOVING A DOG: Ozzy (RIP) gave me structure, exercise, and a 110lb warm and snuggly friend.
• GETTING OUT: It gets darker earlier so I make sure I leave my apartment before 3 o'clock, or else I'm trapped on the couch brooding.
• SOUL SEARCHING: I read motivational books, I tap into my spirituality, and I write.
• SUPPORT NETWORK: I stay connected to my friends and family. Skyping is awesome. It's like Star Trek, except my mom is Spock.
Stay warm this winter guys,

Whether you have bipolar disorder or not, the internet can be a dangerous place. People can lose their jobs or even health benefits based just on a tweet, a Facebook post or a rash email. So it's worth it — especially if you're prone to the kind of impulsivity that comes with mania and hypomania — to set some ground rules online. A good place to start?
What rules help you regulate your online activity? Let us know in your comments, tweets, Facebook posts and emails…but remember if you think you might say something you could regret, WAIT before pressing "Enter," "Send" or "Submit"!

Here are the most common questions I get from loved ones of people with bipolar disorder:
Can't people with bipolar disorder see that they're sick and ruining their lives? Why do they refuse help?
Answer: No, people with bipolar disorder can't always see that they're sick. It's a symptom of the illness. I've worked on bipolar management for 15 years and I'm consistently tricked by mood swings. It can be hard to see that you're manic or depressed because it feels so incredibly real.
Because of this, refusing help is extremely common. It can be denial where the person does know what's going on, but just won't do anything about it. Another problem is alcohol and drug use. But often it's a real symptom of the illness. The worst thing is to hear someone say, "I don't have a problem! You have a problem! Maybe you're the one with bipolar disorder!" This is so painful, but not uncommon. Loved ones have to educate themselves first and then go from there.
If you care about someone with bipolar disorder, I invite you to send me questions on this blog. Please keep your questions super, super short so that I can answer everyone! I have the illness, lived with a partner with bipolar for ten years and have a brother with mood swings, so I understand most sides. So bring on the questions!

Lyons Tourist Attractions
Lyons (in French spelling Lyon), France's second largest industrial and commercial city, is well situated at the junction of the navigable Rhône and Saône. It is the chief town of the département of Rhône and the see of an archbishop, with a university and a college of technology.
Lyons has long been the principal center of the French textile industry, and in particular of silk production, but it also has a variety of other industries, notably the chemical and metalworking industries.
The Lyons Trade Fair, held annually in spring, provides a general survey of the city's industry and commerce.
Many notable figures were born in Lyons or lived and worked in the city, among them François Rabelais, who worked as a doctor in the Lyons hospital and wrote his principal works here, the physicist A.-M. Ampère, the writer Antoine de St-Exupéry, the inventor of the sewing machine, Barthélemy Thimonnier, the inventor of the jacquard loom, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, the Montgolfier brothers, who constructed the first hot-air balloon, and the inventors of the cinematograph, Louis and Auguste Lumière, who moved from Besançon to Lyons.
The main part of the city, with the most important government offices and museums, lies on the Presqu'Ile, the peninsula 5km/3mi long and 600-800 m/660-880yd across between the Rhône in the east and the narrower Saône in the west. On higher ground to the north is the suburb of La Croix-Rousse. On the right bank of the Saône are the hill of Fourvière, the site of the Roman town, and the former suburb of Valse; on the left bank are the former suburb of La Guillotière and the district of Les Brotteaux, beyond which is the modern district of La Part-Dieu. The city is steadily expanding farther east. The rivers are lined with fine embankments and spanned by numerous bridges.
In the time of the Gauls Lyons (Lugdunum) was already a place of some importance. In 42 B.C. it became a Roman colony, and in the time of Augustus capital of the province of Gallia Lugdunensis. At the end of the second century A.D. there was a ruthless persecution of Christians in the town. In 1033 Lyons, along with the rest of Burgundy, became part of the German Empire; then in the early 14th C. the County of Lyonnais (now represented by the départements of Loire and Rhône) passed to France. During the French Revolution, in 1793, the Convention ordered the destruction of Lyons as a reprisal for the expulsion of the Jacobins after they had retaken the city - an operation in which 6,000 citizens of Lyons perished.
Place Bellecour
St Martin-d'Ainay
Hôtel Dieu
Palais de la Bourse
In Lyons, in Rue de la République, on the right, is the Renaissance-style Palais de la Bourse et du Commerce (by René Dardel, 1855-1860). To the south is the former Franciscan church of St-Bonaventure (14th-15th C.). Rue du Président-Herriot leads to Place des Jacobins, with a monumental fountain. Rue Mercière, which leaves its northwest corner, is flanked by numerous houses of the Gothic and Renaissance periods.
St Nizier
Place des Terreaux
Musée des Beaux-Arts
St Jean Cathedral
In Lyons, from the northwest corner of Place Bellecour, Rue Chambonnet and the Pont Bonaparte lead west to the right bank of the Saône; from the embankment before the bridge there is a fine view, to the right, of the choir of the cathedral, the Palais de Justice and the hill of Fourvière. A little to the north is the Romanesque Cathedral of St-Jean (12th-15th C.), with a Late Gothic facade and a rose window of 1393. The most notable features of the interior are the 13th-14th C. stained glass and an astronomical clock by the Basle craftsman N. Lippius (1598) in the Romanesque transept.
Old Town
To the north of the cathedral is old town of Lyons, which has been carefully restored and contains many fine old houses. In Rue St-Jean, on right, is the neo-classical Palais de Justice (Law Courts; by Baltard, 1832-1842). In the Quartier St-Georges is the well known Cafe du Soleil, originally a religious house and later used for performances of the Théâtre Guignol. In the same street are two interesting museums, the Musée Historique de Lyon (history of the city) and the Musée de la Marionnette (Puppet Museum), housed in the 15th C. Hôtel de Gadagne.

Guess what? I'm moving in 3 weeks! And I have packed exactly zero of my stuff…I mean, I've actually never moved before (leaving college with a Kia Rio-full of crap doesn't count) so maybe this is normal?
Anyway, instead of moving this weekend was rife with new good eats. And yes, there was mac & cheese. Because you're just not an American if you don't love mac & cheese.
Know what else? There is cheese in my mac & cheese. Good, high quality cheese. Do not make this with crap cheese and say you got the idea from me. I don't tolerate milk very well, but I'm certainly blessed enough not to have a problem with cheese. If you're not OK with the Dairy Thang, I will not judge…just point out that this was really, really delicious. Sorry. You can do my Monday Metcon instead. See what I did there? TGIPaleo [HEART]'s Paleo/Primal Equal Opportunity!
4 Thick Slices Bacon
1 Can Coconut Milk
1 T Arrowroot Powder, dissolved in 1 T Water
4 oz Gruyere Cheese, grated
4 oz Raw Milk Cheddar, grated
1 t Black Pepper
1/8 t Nutmeg
1 Head Cauliflower
1/2 c Almond Meal
1/2 c Parmigiano Reggiano
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Chop the cauliflower into florets, then set aside.
Fry the bacon until crisp, then chop into bits. Set aside.
Over medium heat, heat the coconut milk almost to a boil in a large saucepan or stockpot. Whisk in the arrowroot powder and continue stirring until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and whisk in Gruyere and Cheddar, then the pepper and nutmeg, and then the diced bacon.
Add the cauliflower and stir well to coat with the cheese sauce. Pour everything into a baking dish.
Blend the almond meal and Parmigiano together and sprinkle over the mac & cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
And now, Metcon Monday…these weights are what Ross and I did, respectively, so feel free to tweak as needed. For time:
Row 1000m
30 Back Squats (95/45#)
30 Box Jumps (24/20″)
30 Back Squats (95/45#)
30 Box Jumps (24/20″)

10 Comments on Cauliflower "Mac" & Cheese + Metcon Monday
I am kinda bummed you are leaving the great state of Texas…I used to be a Texas hater (back when I was a Californian), but I have since grown to love this state. I do know that if I ever chose to leave Texas, it would only be to move to Colorado…so I think you are doing great! Texas will miss you!
oh…and I am so making this tonight! I have a head of cauliflower in the fridge that I have been dying to do something with (other than make cauliflower rice)…
Oh damn, I love cheese, and this looks irresistible.
This was yummy but I added slightly too much nutmeg by trying to use a 1/4t and fill it up only halfway. Also I think I might cook the cauliflower next time before baking everything so it is a more noodle consistency but that might be because I used a casserole dish?
Yum this looks delicious, if your super sensitive to dairy though, I have one similar on my website http://www.irislazz.com

[…] 11. Cauliflower "Mac" & Cheese Macaroni and Cheese has started to become more and more of a star attraction on T-Day, but as a Paleo follower you typically have to take a pass on it. But this particular version replaces the macaroni with cauliflower, but keeps some decadent ingredients in it to make it creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-good. There is coconut milk, so you know it's going to be creamy and velvety, and there is bacon, so it will taste savory and delicious. It also has two types of cheese and a crust made with almond meal, so it really looks like a mac and cheese doppelganger. […]

Benedictine Military School
The Benedictine Military school has a rich history that dates back to 1874 when two Benedictine Monks came to Savannah from Europe by way of St. Vincent Monastery in Latrobe, PA. These two monks came at Savannah Bishop William Gross's request. Bishop Gross sought to educate and convert the recently emancipated blacks in accordance with the directives of the Council at Baltimore and the Catholic Bishops. True to the Bishop's commitment, the founding of St. Benedict's parish occurred soon after the monks' arrival and a school followed in 1875.
Shortly thereafter the Benedictines bought a plot of land on Isle of Hope and Dr. DuPont donated an additional plot. The Benedictines founded the first monastery in the South on these two plots. Although several recruits joined, within a year the new monastery members died of yellow fever.
After this loss Abbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., the founder of the Benedictines in the United States, honored Bishop Gross's request to help carry out the original Apostolate. The Abbot sent Rev. Oswald Moosmueller, O.S.B. as superior and the Benedictines bought 713 acres on Skidaway Island. At this site (now the 14th hole of The Landings golf course) the Benedictines built a monastery and school.
Unfortunately, after about nine years the project was abandoned as a failure because the Benedictines could not attract or support enough blacks in their enterprise. Upon returning to Savannah, the monks served Sacred Heart Church under the aegis of Belmont Abbey. In 1902, adjacent to the church, Benedictine Military School opened its doors and was an immediate success. In addition to primarily serving the male Catholic students, it attracted the Jewish population and poor Protestants who shared interest in the Judeo-Christian tradition of academic excellence, good moral living, respect for authority, and love of country.
Today the the St. Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, PA guides the Benedictines. Eight Benedictines now work at the school and hold positions such as: President, Director of Religious Studies, Media Center Director, Director of Maintenance, and staff support. The Benedictine priests are active in many other areas of the school and the community.

Safety unhappy after 51-20 drubbing by Bears. Terry McCormick
The Tennessee Titans appear to be in freefall mode, especially on the defensive side of the football.
Owner Bud Adams is back in "outcoached" mode, a stance he has taken several times after watching lopsided losses over the years.
But inside the locker room, there may be some cracks appearing as well. Safety Jordan Babineaux's "no comment" per TitanInsider.com was very telling when he was asked what was wrong with the team.
"If you have any questions, you need to ask the defensive coordinator," Babineaux said.
Babineaux was then asked about the breakdowns on special teams and replied, "Ask the special teams coach."
It could be that the finger-pointing has started in Tennessee, a situation that never makes for a winning situation.

Purple Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus
This small sea urchin has been responsible for the demise of large areas of giant kelp forest off the North American coastline. Like most sea urchins, it feeds by scraping away at seaweeds and fixed animals and its favorite food is the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera. Its numbers reach densities of up to several hundred animals per square yard, and it can chew through kelp holdfasts, setting the plants adrift. Populations are normally kept in check by sea otters and by large fish such as sheepheads. In the past, when sea otters were hunted, urchin numbers increased explosively in some areas.
- Class Echinoidea
- Diameter Up to 4 in (10 cm)
- Depth 0–130 ft (0–40 m)
- Habitat Rocky reefs
- Distribution Temperate coastline of North America from Alaska to Mexico

There is something wonderfully liberating about looking at the blank pages in your diary. No meetings with journalist, no proofs to read, no work to do in for the antique dealer and no schools to talk in. Just clear empty pages with nothing but days of the week, Bank Holidays and numbers. Which means for the first time in a long time, I can get away on my bicycle and take on some real pedal powered culinary exploring.
The last time the beast was loaded with panniers, in 2008, it was to take to the desert roads of Israel and Egypt in search of the perfect meal, but this time I am taking the slow boat to Santander. Booking a birth on a ferry from Portsmouth this afternoon, after 17 hours of pumping the bilges and rolling on the open ocean, I will arrive on the Atlantic coast of Northern Spain, home to some of the best Spanish food you can through your Euros at.
The turbulent waters around Cantabria provide goose barnacles, crab, clams, lobsters, crayfish and king prawns, not to mention squid of the highest quality! There is also sea bream, scorpion fish, anchovies and sardines served roasted on a simple wooden dish and washed down with red wine.
Leaving Cantabria I will cycle for the state of Asturias the farming state where shepherds and fishermen provide some of the best rural cuisine in Europe. Even today many shepherds allow the flocks of sheep to roam the hillsides and to my delight there are over two dozen varieties of cow, sheep and goat's milk cheeses produced in Asturias. As well as cheese Cider or 'sidra' will be on the menu insuring that I wobble through the snow covered peaks of the Picos de Europa and along the wild coastline in good spirits. My camera and paints are packed so do keep an eye on the blog for updates, recipes and pictures from my ten day ride.

HOW TO MAKE A SLAVA KOLACH: (See Annotated Bibliography page.)
Baba Mim's Christmas 2010 table above.
Here's the Volitich family, celebrating their Slava
All the Volitich members help V.Rev. Fr. Stepanov turn the Slava kolach. This way, you're showing UNITY as a family, and remembering all those members who have since passed on, to guard your Slava and keep those traditions alive.
HOW TO MAKE BUTTER BALLS: (See Andja Mamula's Folk Costume page)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Everyone loves Djuri Volitich's CICVARA. But this time, we're going to give credit to Marlene Powell, of Boonesboro, who had this recipe published in the HOME COOKING section of The Herald-Mail. Marlene belongs to the St. Catherine Eastern Orthodox Church of Hagerstown.
"I am third-generation Serbian, and I was born into the Orthodox faith.
"This traditional Serbian recipe, cicvara (pronounced "SEETS-vuh-ruh," rolling the R), can be found as a side dish at any special meal to celebrate a festive day at church or at home.
"This recipe was given to me by a Serbian family at our original home parish of St. Luke Serbian Orthodox Church in McLean, Va. Every year I would delight to see my favorite dish on the buffet line at church. I finally remembered to get the recipe.
"Now I include it for special events at St. Catherine Eastern Orthodox Church in Hagerstown.
"The secret to this traditional Serbian dish is to carefully monitor boiling and to stir often.
- Marlene Powell of Boonsboro
1 cup milk
2 cups sour cream
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
Combine milk, 1 cup sour cream, butter and salt in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a boil. Add cornmeal, a little at a time, carefully monitor boiling and stir frequently until thick.
Cover, lower the heat and let simmer 30 to 45 minutes until entire mixture starts to float in butter.
Transfer to an 8-inch-by-8-inch casserole dish. With remaining sour cream, spread a layer on top (like icing) just before serving. Serve warm.
Serves 4 to 6.
Cook's note: Double or triple the recipe if serving in a large casserole dish.

Nut Roll or POTICA
3 1/2 c. flour
1 pkg. dry yeast
1 cup milk
2 Tablespoos sugar
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 recipe Walnut Filling
In large mixer bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups flour and the yeast. Heat milk, sugar, butter and salt just until warm, stirring constantly until butter almost melts. Add to the dry mixture in mixer bowl; add egg. Beat at low speed on the electric mixer for 1.5 minutes, scraping the bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand, stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Turn out onto large floured cloth; knead for 6-8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning once and let rise until double, about an hour.
Meanwhile, prepare Walnut Filling: In a bowl, combine:
2 cups ground walnuts
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon of melted butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Set aside.
Punch dough down, cover and let rest 10 minutes. On floured cloth, roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness, about 25 x 10 inches. Stretch gently, working from center to edges, pulling very thin, to about 30 x 20 inches. Spread with the filling. Starting at the long side, use cloth as guide to rollup dough jellyroll fashion. Pinch edges to seal. Place one end of roll in center of large greased baking sheet.
Coil the dough to make a snail-shaped spiral; seal end. Cover and let rise in warm place until nearly double, about 30-45 minutes. Bake in a 350 degrees over 30-35 minutes until brown.
Getting ready for Sveti Nikola and this recipe by Alexis Bobick Bajich looked so good! It's from the POSNO recipe page she started on FACEBOOK. Thanks, Alexis! Alexis is near Kansas City, Kansas. (Lenaxa! And she's part of the famous Bajich Brothers Orchestra Family.)
1 bag 15 bean dried bean mix (soaked/rinsed)
1 - 2# bag carrots, peeled & chopped
5 large onions chopped
1 celery stalk (the whole thing) chopped
1 can V8 low sodium or 15oz tomato sauce
2 TBS sea salt
COLD water
Put the ingredients in a 16qt stalk pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3 hours or until beans are soft.
Add 1 box quick cook barley
Make zafrik: heat oil in a pan with 1 cup flour and mix until brown - slowly add to pot and it will thicken.
You can add seasonings to your taste. i like to add some vegeta as well.
Alexis adds:
"I didn't not feel i was doing posti-ing any justice after I made this. I ate bowl after bowl afte bowl. I felt like I was at my +grandmother's and she made it! I was so excited.
Sorry it's not smaller in size. Not sure how to cook small. Does any Serb? :)"
And here's Lenten Vegetable Cream Soup from her friend, Tomislava Andjelic, also from FACEBOOK.
2 L water
1 cauliflower (medium)
2 carrots
1 parsnip
1 potato

Salt and pepper to taste
Cook together vegetables in water until tender. Blend in food processor, addiing water if too thick. Return to pot and continue cooking for a short time. Add a tablespoon of Vegeta, salt and pepper to taste before completely cooking. When serving, sprinkle chopped parsley.
And you need to have a dessert to go with those Lenten (Posno) meals.
Well, Milica Babir-Manojlovic sent this one to Alexis' Facebook Posno Recipe page and it sounds so great!

"Actually my birthday is September 27 (Krstov dan) a fast day.. This is my birthday cake(-: Make it every year!!"
It was at the Shorak Slava of St. Stephan (January 9th, 2010, where I was first treated to probably the best cherry pie I ever tasted. Alyssa's Baba, Patty Perenovich Shorak from Midlland, couldn't be prouder of her talented granddaughter. "I just showed her two times before, and now she does all this cooking herself! She can even double/triple it with ease, with no one helping. She's a tremendous little baker!"
Alyssa has played soccer for many years and loves playing her position of Goalie, the hardest position of all, I think! She has taken piano lessons for 4 years now and is a member of Jedinstvo Tammies in Pittsburgh, where she's learning the Prim. Her Dad, Eli, jokes that Alyssa is also learning the trumpet in school, but that she definitely hasn't mastered it yet. ;-) Alyssa loves animals and going to her Baba's farm where her Dad grew up. She started her own garden this year and created her own first tree farm.
Try this PIE DOUGH recipe from Alyssa. It's a sure fire winner! (Alyssa's Baba Patty used to do a lot of catering at the Midland Serbian Club which helps explain such talent!) Too, Alyssa's Mom, Sharon, is no cooking slouch either. She made a tremendous feast for the Slava, though not having a drop of Serbian blood. I say she's 101% adopted Serb! Eli agrees and jokes, "She knows more Serbs/Serbian than I do! She's terrific and does everything!"
By the way, I must also mention Alyssa's little sister, Erica, age 8. Erica helped her Dad, Eli, make the Kolach this year. Eli, who has a very important job working at the University of Pittsburgh said of Erica: "She worked quite hard helping me knead the Kolach dough and was so proud when she saw the end result. She literally beamed with pride when Fr. Rajko blessed our family's kolach in Holy Trinity Cathedral!"
I can vouch that BOTH girls are darling! Genuine Sweetness oozes from them both! Hvala Bogu!
And how Eli got to be the Kolach maker in the family is a story for another time. It's hilarious, though!
Alyssa's Luscious Pie Dough:
2 Cups of Robin Hood flour (all Serbs like that brand!)
1 Cup Crisco
1/2 Cup of Half 'n Half
2 Tablespoons of Vinegar
Dash of salt.
Mix all together and then freeze for 30 minutes before using. Use Cherry or Peach Pie filling.
These are rolled cabbage or grape leaves, but the fasting variant. Divna Djokic says some ethnic and specialty stores sell the whole pickled cabbage leaves in jars or frozen, but you also can substitute grape leaves.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Saute onion for approximately 20 minutes or until golden.
Add sunflower seeds and rice to onion. Saute 5 minutes.
Add seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika) to taste to sunflower seed and rice mixture. Stir to combine.
Separate cabbage or grape leaves. Put 1 tablespoon rice mixture in center of cabbage leaf. Roll leaf closed. Repeat with remaining rice mixture and leaves.
Place stuffed leaves into deep baking dish. Cover with water. Cover with lid or aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 degrees for 2 to 3 hours or until leaves are soft and slightly golden.
LIMA BEANS GRATINEE-PREBRANAC (Serbian Style Baked Beans)
Divna Djokic's version is vegetarian to comply with the Advent fast. You can top the dish with bacon or sausage.
In a large pot, bring lima beans to a boil. Boil 10 to 15 minutes and drain.
Add fresh water to cover beans by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer approximately 2 hours or until beans are tender. Drain, reserving water.
Heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute onion slices for 20 minutes or until golden.
Add garlic and seasonings to taste to onions. Mix well and sauté 1 to 2 more minutes.
Combine beans, onion mixture and reserved water in a deep baking dish.
Add bay leaves.
Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until top is golden and water is absorbed.
Suva Pita
Mix walnuts, raisins and 8 ounces of sugar in a bowl.
In a deep dish, place 1 phyllo sheet. Sprinkle with oil. Repeat phyllo/oil layer twice more.
Layer next phyllo sheet. Sprinkle with 3 to 5 tablespoons of walnut mixture.
Layer next phyllo sheet on top of walnut mixture. Sprinkle with oil. Repeat phyllo/oil layer twice more.
Layer next phyllo sheet. Sprinkle with 3 to 5 tablespoons walnut mixture.
Alternate oil and walnut mixture layering process until walnut mixture is gone. The last layer should be 3 phyllo sheets sprinkled generously with oil.
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
In the pan, cut phyllo into 1-by-2-inch rectangles.
Bake until golden, around 30 minutes.
While suva pita is baking, boil water and 1 pound granulated sugar until sugar is dissolved and mixture starts sticking. Add lemon slices.
Pour warm sugar and lemon mixture slowly over baked suva pita. Let stand overnight.Cut into small pieces before serving.
-- Divna Djokic
This is a non-fasting version.
Bring water to a boil. Add sugar. Boil until sugar is dissolved.
Add ground walnuts, cookies and butter. Mix until dough forms.
Divide dough in half. Press dough onto an 8-by-16-inch piece of cardboard. A shirt box works well.
Melt 4 ounces dark chocolate. Mix thoroughly with remaining dough.
Spread chocolate mixture on top of light-colored dough.
Flip the bajadera so the chocolate mixture is on the top and the light dough on the bottom.
Melt remaining 4 ounces of chocolate. Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on top of light dough layer.
Refrigerate, uncovered, overnight. Cut into 1-by-2 inch rectangles before serving.

1 head cabbage
3 lbs. of ground beef, pork and veal mixture. (1 pound each)
1 cup rice, cooked according to directions.
5 medium onions, chopped
Bacon grease
Salt to taste
1 Tablespoon of Paprika or Vegeta
3 cloves garlic, mashed
2 large cans of sauerkraut
1 can tomato soup, diluted or large can of Tomato Sauce.
To blanch cabbage leaves, core the cabbage head and insert large meat fork in center. Place head in boiling water in a dutch over for a few seconds until leaves can be easily removed. Remove all leaves that will be large enough to stuff.
(If no dutch oven, just place cabbage in large pan of boiling water after removing as much of the core as possible. Cook only until leaves soften (Less than 15 minutes.)
Cook rice as directed and drain.
Saute onions in bacon grease (or butter) until soft. (You can also use chopped bacon here.) Mix meat, rice, eggs, onions together thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper and garlic, and Paprika or Vegeta.
Remove the leaves from the head of cabbage one at a time. Turn each leaf over and trim the heavy vein on the leaf with a sharp knife (don't cut through the leaf.)
Place the filling in the cabbage leaves (one at a time) and tuck in the ends firmly.
Rinse the sauerkraut and drain. Put 1/2 can of kraut on the bottom of the pot. Lay rolls neatly and close together. Make layers. Top each layer with 1/2 can of kraut. If you have any cabbage left, you can shred it and place on top of kraut.
Pour 1 can of soup and 1 can of water (or large can of Tomato Sauce) over the cabbage rolls.
If you have any smoked meat, place in sarma container too.
Cover with foil or a lid and....
Bake for 2 hours at 350 degrees until tender. Enjoy!
Some people also include 1 or 2 eggs and then add some Farina (or corn meal) to the mixture above. We do this for our hamburgers.)

Good Evening Baba Mim!
I wanted to let you know that I wanted to learn to make a Kolach for my Slava this Saturday and was having difficulty locating good directions for a beginner. I logged onto your website and found your recipe and instructions very easy to understand and the picture helped me to see what it should look like. I made it and it came out very good for my first try. However, Father Rodney said it has to be a fasting Kolach since we are in the Nativity fast. I put it in the freezer and tried it again with soy milk, and margarine and left out the eggs. It still looks similar to your picture and I am so happy and thankful for your excellent guidance!
I hope you are well and I look forward to meeting you some day. If you recall, you sat with my husband at our Lenten Supper at St George last spring. Since then, I have sent your website to many people. You continue to inspire and you don't even know it!
Thanks again and Best Wishes to You!
Linda Porter
She invented her own Posno Kolach!
Baba Mim,
Thank you so much for your kind words! If you share the changes with anyone, you can also tell that I brushed the top with a mixture of sugar water (saw that in a Serbian cookbook a long time ago with apple dumplings) .. and then AFTER it was baked, I brushed melted margarine on the top for that shiny look you can only get with egg yolk. It looked almost the same. I am not so sure what the texture will be though! It was funny... I was blessed with two sons... and I did not know or remember how my mother braided my hair! My husband saved the Kolach! : )
Linda Porter's 1st Kolach!
Congratulations, Linda!
Here's Linda's 2nd Kolach- Lenten One!

Thank you so much for the pogacha recipe! I have just started making it...only have tried it twice and I was looking for other recipes to try. My mom is going to be 90 soon and she was searching her archives for any other ones that might be good. I will try your recipe for Christmas Eve 24th since we are having baccala. I will let you know how it turns out..
It is so nice of you to share your knowledge. Many people do not give out their recipes. I was never one of them....I feel that if you take it to your grave, no one will ever remember! When I make certain things that I have learned from my mom's old friends... Hungarian, Italian, etc...... I think of them fondly each time I make it! I share it with others only to tell them who it belonged to. Their memory is truly eternal in my kitchen.
Thank you again. May you have a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you again for helping me along my way.
I remember you now, Linda! Thank you so much for letting me know the website is making a difference and that you're a cook FIRST CLASS!
Only those brilliant ones know how to substitute! Good for you, girl! You invented a new POSNO Kolach!
Just in case you don't have a Pogacha recipe, here's one: From my late sister-in-law Annie Bizic
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
2 Tablespoons of oil
1 small cake yeast (.6 oz)
3.5 to 4 cups of flour
(more or less)
Add first 3 ingredients and stir to melt.
Crumble yeast and let sit for 5-10 minutes to grow.
Add oil and flour.
Knead, then put in greased bowl and flip over.
Cover the bowl and let it rise until double the size.
The punch down shape and put it on a baking pan to rise again.
Rub water on the dough and bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
UPDATE from Pat Cekoric
"This POGACHA recipe is similar to the one I use that I got from the Srbobran years ago. I also replace one cup of white flour with whole wheat flour and add some ground flax seeds because I don't like to use white bread."
Thanks for the tip, PAT!

Jelisaveta is the daughter of Vera's daughter, Mirjana.
On Oct. 21, 2011, via Facebook, Milica Katanic-Bozikovic asked her Kuma, Vera Diklic Svilar, about her wonderful
Cream Cheese Kiefels
Being a great Kuma besides a great cook, Vera was happy to oblige!
Makes about 5 dozen Cream Cheese Kolaci
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
•1 (8-ounce) cream cheese, softened
•12 ounces (3 sticks) butter, softened
•3 cups all-purpose flour
•2 (14-ounce) cans fillings of choice (apricot, prune, raspberry, etc.)
•Confectioners' sugar
1.Mix cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add flour 1 cup at a time and mix well. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2.Heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough 1/4-inch on a surface that has been dusted with equal parts confectioners' and granulated sugars (not flour), because the granulated sugar will act as ball bearings and help keep the dough from sticking. Cut into 2-inch squares. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon filling on center of each square. Overlap opposite corners of dough to the center over filling.
3. Bake for 15 minutes or when corners start to brown. Cool and dust with confectioners' sugar. these tend to become soggy if held for several days, so store them tightly covered (or freeze) without confectioners' sugar. Dust with confectioners' sugar just prior to service.
Recipes are for sharing, and here is a Nut Kiefel recipe from Serb World's Nov./Dec. issue, 2011 on p. 31. It was shared by Nettie Baltic, who comes from a family of great bakers.
I posted this so I could always have it handy myself!
1 lb. sugar
4 cups flour
4 Tbsp. sour cream, heaping
4 egg yolks, slightly beaten.
Separate the 4 eggs. Comibine the butter and flour as if you were making a pie dough. Slightly beat the egg yolks. Add yolks and sour cream to the flour mixutre. Mix well to form dough.
Divide the dough into 5 or 7 balls of equal size. Wrap each in waxed paper and chill in the refrigeration for 1 hour until firm.
In the meantime, prepare the walnut filling.
Walnut filling:
3 to 4 cups of ground walnuts
1.5 cups sugar
1 or 2 whole eggs, slightly beaten
4 egg ehites beaten
Vanilla & almond extract
Grind the walnuts. Slightly beat the whole eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, sugar and whole eggs well. Mix in flavoring. Then gently fold in the beaten egg whites untill well blended throughout.
Making the kifles:
On waxed paper, roll each piece of dough out into a circle. Spread with filling. Cut into pieces like cutting a pie. Beginning at the wide edge, carefully roll up each section, ending with the narrow end.
Bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 11 to 15 minutes or until light brown.
Sounds great, yes?

6 Bird-Themed Halloween Crafts
These fun, simple crafts are worth crowing about. Download our templates to get started now!
By Laura Fenton
Nesting Pumpkins
Go out on a limb with this darling mama-and-baby duo. Download, print, and cut out our templates below; then trace the outlines onto a large and small pumpkin (as shown). Use a fine-tip brush to fill in with black flat acrylic paint. To detail additional featuressuch as eyes and wingsin relief, wait until the paint is dry to the touch, about five minutes, and scrape paint away with a bamboo skewer. For the nest, select a third pumpkin that's large enough to hold the baby pumpkin. Using this photo as a guide, paint branches along the pumpkin's bottom half. Let dry for one hour, then carefully cut the pumpkin along the tops of the branches with a sharp knife. Scoop out the pumpkin, refill with moss, and tuck the baby pumpkin inside.

NASA says Curiosity rover has found signs of an ancient freshwater lake on Mars that existed 3.5 billion years ago and may have supported small organisms for tens of millions of years, but doubts remain of the origin of the organic matter.
View full story
LOL .. You're a total etc.,etc., Glad you don't live in the US, or you would have been an Obama Supporter.
As a matter of fact, this myth is mostly an American one, (go figure) and its strongest adherents tend to be extremist anti government Libertarian types..
. They have been working in good faith to find any evidence at all that, maybe, there is small chance that life may have, existed there millions of years ago and have come up with nothing. I'm betting very confidently that Mars is a dead rock and always has been. There will be no life on Mars until we get there
More American lies. There aint no rover on Mars just like there was NEVER a manned moon landing. Wake up prolls
LOL.. You're a total Moron. Glad you don't live in the US, or you would have been an Obama Supporter.
Curiosity took its own portraits. It does it using two of its own cameras on an arm and on a mast, stitching together many smaller photos to get a photo of the whole rover.
Top left of this picture show two perfectly straight edged rocks shaped like a topless pyramid, the one in front is just a tad smaller than the other. No way are the straight edges on the rock formation over to the top left are natural...no way.
For those of you asking about the second picture....you do realize theres more than one rover on mars right???
Right now the researchers are driving Curiosity along a 6 mile path to the base of Mount Sharp -the primary mission destination – which they hope to reach sometime in Spring 2014
I hope they are not trying to say that the second picture with the rover is from Mars. I mean, who too the picture?
I do not know if this is indeed tentative evidence that life was resident on Mars. However given the nature of the comments so far there is strong evidence that I am truly insane. Why? Because if you are in a place where everybody is insane it is powerful evidence that you are also.
News flash, look at the picture real good, thats what this planet will look like eventually. We are losing our atmosphere a little bit at a time hence the weather paterns. Yeh we're polluting it also but thats just making it happen faster.
What part of Earth were these Photos Taken?
the mars colony have at the present day 2.000.000 peapole and you dont no s.t.the secret govern have a secret space program and try to kill you if you have proves to that.
throughout all this stuff about life on mars i seldom see the mention of how this life if ever present, survived radiation from the sun. is it not true that mars does not have a magnetic field which on earth shields us from much cosmic rays? also what about the "ozone hole" on mars? they say a lot of people have already volunteered to be the first to go to mars!!!!!!! perhaps they are used to living in microwave ovens?!!! i dunno!!!!!!!

Slow Economy Pressures Philips Sales
May 22, 2003
Print this page
According to Philips Electronics NV, a slow work economy and a declining dollar are putting pressure on revenues, especially at its consumer electronics and semiconductor units. But Philips is holding to its goals of returning its semiconductors division and consumer electronics activities to profitability in the U.S. by Q4 2003, according to Chief Executive Gerard Kleisterlee. Other company goals include gaining cost savings of one billion euros by the end of the year and 14-percent margin on earnings for the company's medical systems unit before interest, taxes, and amortization in 2004.

I've had 3 babies
So my natural inclination is to still resist scheduling an induction and see if I can get things going naturally. Also, I know ultrasounds can be wrong and since I've had 3 kids already-can't this one just shoot out my VJJ like the other ones did even if she is huge?
I'm just worried if my OB sees:
My inductions took 4ever and I don't see an OB waiting around. In contrast, my 1 natural labor was 4 hrs. A better way to go if possible.
Friends say I'm being stupid and risking a still born. These same friends love c-sections and inductions. I need an opinion from a different crowd. What do you guys think? (I'll probably go into labor just walking to whole foods today in 95 degree weather from work to pick up some red rasberry leaf tea at lunch today.) I don't own the baby come out track-unless it is on the birthing day CD that I haven't listened to yet but was supposed to (I know). Plus my doula is out of town this Saturday-so I'd prefer not to get things started unless I know she can come.

Thing 1 was 4 pounds 3 ounces (born 6 weeks early, via emergency cesarean.)
I had set a goal to double Thing 1's weight with Thing 2, so I was thinking he would be 8 pound 6 ounces. I guess I am an overachiever, because he weighed 9 pound 4 ounce. I birthed him vaginally without any problems.
My OB said to me, "If I had known he was going to be this big, I wouldn't have let you had a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)."
I said, "Thank goodness you didn't know!"
How wrong would it be if my OB had discouraged my attempt at a vaginal birth because of her fear of big babies?
9 years later I am a childbirth educator and doula who is saddened/angered by the "big baby bull" care providers feed to their patients every day.
Some start it even as early as the 20 week ultrasound, with little remarks like, "This baby is a pretty good size."
Now many moms are getting a routine late term ultrasound, which leads to many babies who are suspected to be big:
Let's be honest, the only way to KNOW how big a baby is,
Care providers then use that "suspected big baby" to sell their agenda. Whether it be a cesarean or an induction. This fear of big babies is causing a lot of interventions to happen to low risk moms.
I attended a birth of a mom was induced at 38 weeks because her baby was "going to be at least 8.5 pounds".
Some simple facts:
I hear about it from pregnant moms so much, I have created a whole page about it.
Big Baby Bull Page. Visit there for tons of information about suspected big babies.
I recently added these links.
Shoulder Dystocia is their main fear.
Well here is a great post about Can Shoulder Dystocia be predicted by size of baby?
In it she quotes ACOGs statement regarding shoulder dystocia.
1. Most cases of shoulder dystocia cannot be predicted or prevented because there are no accurate methods to identify which fetuses will develop this complication.
2. Ultrasonic measurement to estimate macrosomia has limited accuracy
3. Planned cesarean section based on suspected macrosomia is not a reasonable strategy
In Birth Sense's follow up post she asks the question:
The Brachial Plexus Injury Prevention Program (BPIPP) has made a strong statement about prevention of shoulder dystocia.
According to BPIPP, the singular action that obstetric providers could take to prevent shoulder dystocia is to
- keep the mother off her back during delivery.
They also list three additional factors that can increase risk of shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injury:
- Epidural anesthesia for vaginal birth
- "Tools" such as vacuum or forceps used to aid delivery
- Labor Induction
The scary thing is, care providers actively RECOMMEND and support many interventions that LEAD to shoulder dystocia.
Do all OBs think suspected big baby, should be handled with cesareans and inductions? Jill at the Unneccesarean shares a great article from Contemporary OB/GYN discussing how macrosomia is not a good indication of doing a cesarean.
Cesareans have risks as well. Is it right to scare a mom with a possible risk to known risks?
Remember there is NO way to know how big your baby will be. I know a few moms who have had cesareans for suspected big baby and have had small babies. A major surgery for NO GOOD REASON!!!!
But this is not necessarily related!
Here is a great birth story including amazing pictures (graphic) of a mom who birthed her 11 pound 5 ounce baby vaginally with no tears!!!
There are many, many stories like this.

I just added these 2 stories to my Big Baby Bull Page.
BOP warning for my Hypnobabies moms. These moms didn't use Hypnobabies and did have pain during their births, so read only if you want to.
This is a wonderful story of an empowered mom who didn't let the "threat of a big baby" change her plans for a vaginal birth.
She vaginally birthed an 11 pound 10 ounce baby with no tears. Amazing!

How many moms have seen and been inspired by this birth video?
Over 1,400,000 people have watched it!
Some wonder if she was using Hypnobabies.
YES, she was. Here is what her doula said.
HTML clipboard
Doula Micky's view point
Yes, I am in the video – sitting on the floor in the red shirt beside her. Temple is a close friend of mine and I was her doula for this birth. She did the Hypnobabies home study as this was before I became an instructor. I told her about Hypnobabies and encouraged her to do it. She gave birth to a HUGE baby, at home, shortly after the singing you see in the video.
My favorite "Hypnobabies moment" was when she came downstairs after laying down on the bed for a while, listening to the cds. She looked like she was asleep but was really listening to the cds. She came downstairs and said she wasn't sure if the hypnosis was working because she wasn't feeling anything. She was concerned that her labor had stopped. This was her third birth and she was used to pain! I of course, told her that I was pretty sure that meant it was working.
Had I been more knowledgeable about hypnosis at the time, I would have helped her stay in hypnosis and helped her go back to the cds but that is when she did the singing. Then she went through transformation and got in the tub and had her sweet baby boy. So, as Kerry says, moms have the births they need to have. Had she not done her singing, we wouldn't be having this conversation and she wouldn't have impacted so many people (thousands) with their video and song on youtube and itunes.
You can read Temple's Birth story here. Her baby was 10 pounds! Another inspirational "big baby" story.

Why yes it is! I got this e-mail from a reader. (A google search found the biggest baby born vaginally was 15 pounds!)
I ran across your web site while looking for articles on the worlds biggest baby & i was wondering about the largest to ever be delivered vaginally.
My mom is 5 feet tall & had all 4 of her big babies vaginally. I was the smallest at 9lbs even, induced 1 week early b/c i was "too big" my little brother was the largest at 10lbs.
So I expected to have large babies. i'm 5′ 7″ and rather large framed. My 1st son I, 10lbs 3oz & 21.5 inches long, was born vaginally after 23 hours of labor. I was induced 11 days overdue, & in fact was induced with all 3 of my kids.
With my 2nd I was only 8 days overdue & the ultrasound tech speculated that this baby was 9-10 lbs. I was induced at 8 am & James was born just after 11 pm. He was 12 lbs 3 oz & 23.5 inches long with a 16.5 inch head circumference! A male nurse shouted out "he's a monster!" when they had him on the scale, then started apologizing, but it was ok i knew what he meant..i bet the guy likes to fish on his off time! i am blessed with quite a sense of humor. The doctor apologized to me for allowing me to give birth vaginally to James! If they had only known they would have done a c-section. Well thank God they didn't! I was up walking around within the hour!
My 3rd son was born about 14 months after james. Gabriel was my littlest itty bitty baby at 9lbs 14oz & 19 inches. That was really amusing to the nurses & docs, but he really did seem tiny after giant James. I'm including a photo of James about 12 hours old.
You can post this if you want. Thanks! Becky
Thank YOU Becky! What a great example that big babies CAN be born vaginally!

SO many moms today are being told they are having BIG babies. Some are being told this from their 20 week ultrasound. Some moms are getting routine late term ultrasound and then told the baby is getting "too big"
This seems to be a tactic to convince moms to get induced or to schedule a cesarean.
Big Baby Bull page – This page has links to more information, definition of big baby, accuracy of ultrasounds, cesarean or induction choices. There are also a lot of stories from moms, L&D nurses and a video too.
There is a whole website on Big Babies. I love this quote from the site.
I heard a great analogy from an obstetrician once, that likened trying to predict the size of a baby before birth, by ultrasound, to trying to guess the weight of a man, sitting in a bath full of water, in the room next door by measuring his waist and thigh bone. When you look at it like that it really does become apparent how ludicrous these gross measures we use are!
Some OBs do a LOT of cesareans and inductions because of "big babies" but maybe this is just an excuse so they can plan births.
A Labor and Delivery nurse shares a story about a mom who has a cesarean because of a suspected big baby – "near 9 pounds" (which isn't really even BIG) and the baby ends up being 7 pounds 9 ounces. It turns out this is an OB who uses this "scare tactic" a lot! The nurse covers really well the truth about the ability to determine the size of babies before birth.
Here is another story of a "big baby" who turned out to be small.
What do YOU think? Before your care provider said you were having a big baby, before they said there may be issues…. How were you feeling?
How are you feeling now? Don't let FEAR be a factor in your choice. It is hard to figure out what your intuition is saying when you are full of fear. How can you let go of that fear? Here are some ideas.
Well, guess what – Fat smushes and lots of big babies are born vaginally! 2 of my babies were 9 pounds. Here is a great positive vaginal birth story of an 11 pound 5 ounce baby. Here is another one of a 12 pound 9 ounce baby born vaginally. Here is another great one. My wife had an 11+ pound baby at home!
Jill, who has the Unnecesarean Blog wrote about her experience and how she avoided an unnecesary cesarean by educating herself and fighting for her right to have a vaginal birth. She refused to be scared by OB's before or during her birth!
Here is a great video by moms who were told they were unable to birth big babies and went on to birth BIGGER babies vaginally.
To inspire you more, here is a video of a mom singing during the birth of her 10 pound baby.
Part of it is having a care provider who isn't scared of birth. Part of it is believing in your body and your baby.
Only YOU know what is the best choice for you. For some it may be induction, for some it may be cesarean but for most it will be waiting until their baby decides it is time to be born. That may take guts to say no, it may mean changing care providers, it may take sacrifice. Remember, this is not meant as medical advice, it is to remind moms everywhere that you have rights…. choose to use them! It is YOUR body and YOUR birth.

Great awesome Big Baby Vaginal Birth Story
The baby was 11 pounds 5 ounces, the mom was attended by a midwife in a hospital setting and everyone was nervous because of the baby's size, the midwife talks about her fear of shoulder distocia, but the birth goes wonderfully, everyone stayed calm and encouraging, which I think led a lot to a positive outcome.
I am going to add this link to my Big Baby Bull Page. To inspire moms who are scared by their care providers that their baby will be "too big"

The Cassini spacecraft took the image on November 27, 2012, as it completes its Cassini Solstice Mission, which was begun in February 2010 and extends into the year 2017.
Actually, the spacecraft has found other cyclones also swirling above Saturn's south pole. Both are the result of powerful storm patterns, similar to the ones we have here on Earth.
The cyclone at Saturn's north pole is rotating at speeds from 325 miles (500 kilometers) per hour to 1,100 miles (1,770 kilometers) per hour, which are many times faster than the highest cyclonic winds on Earth.
A larger image of the cyclone is found in the Discovery News article Deep Inside Saturn's Stormy Eye: Big Pic.
These are very massive cyclones, hundreds of times larger than the most giant hurricanes on Earth.
Giant thunderstorms are found below these cyclones on Saturn, with giant weather systems at the core of their existence.
Check out the video of a giant cyclone on Saturn in the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory article "Infrared Movie of Saturn's North Polar Region". Click on the "GIF no audio" to start the video.
The article begins with, "This near-infrared movie of Saturn's north pole shows a giant cyclone, encircled by a hexagon feature. The movie was created from several images, taken by the visual and infrared mapping spectrometer onboard the Cassini spacecraft."

Dean Baquet feels sorry for the LAT.
Jack Bauer will feel a little more sorry for his enemies.
We all feel sorry for Dannielynn.
