As of Sunday, November 4, 2012

Albany Herald
OKLAHOMA CITY — Before the tipoff Sunday night, Larry Drew said his new-look Atlanta Hawks were still trying to find their identity.
They might have found it by the time the game ended.
Al Horford had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Lou Williams added 10 of his 19 points during Atlanta's decisive fourth-quarter surge and the Hawks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-95.
"I thought the guys just came in here and rolled their sleeves up and played four solid quarters, and we're just really happy that we came in here and got a win," Drew said.
Williams hit a 3-pointer and a 24-foot jumper and converted a three-point play off a driving scoop in the lane during a 12-4 push midway through the fourth quarter that put the Hawks in front to stay. Williams' two free throws made it 91-84 with 4:44 to play, and Atlanta held off a final charge by Oklahoma City.
Williams ended up scoring 14 points overall during the fourth quarter as the Hawks won their road opener despite playing without starting forward Josh Smith because of a sprained right ankle.
"We've got new faces, a new team but we stuck with the offense. We believe in ourselves," said DeShawn Stevenson, who moved into the starting lineup and got the call down the stretch as Drew stuck with a mix of starters and reserves.
"This is a great team. This is a team that could easily go back to the Western Conference finals or the Finals, and to come out here without Josh Smith is big," he added.
Kevin Martin scored 28 points off the bench to lead the Thunder and Kevin Durant chipped in 22 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Durant was two assists shy of his first career triple-double but also wound up with six turnovers while shooting 2-for-9 in the second half.
Fellow All-Star Russell Westbrook had an off night, making 5 of 18 shots while scoring 14 points and passing out nine assists.
The Thunder's 21 turnovers led to 31 Atlanta points.
"I wish I could have had a couple of those turnovers back," said Durant, who has 20 assists and 16 turnovers in three games this season.
Oklahoma City pulled to 91-89 after Martin's 3-pointer from the left corner got the crowd roaring with 4:06 to play. Kendrick Perkins protested after being called for a foul for hacking Devin Harris on the arm on a baseline drive, and Harris hit both free throws.
On the next trip, Westbrook tried to save a rebound under the basket but ended up feeding Horford with a behind the back pass for a dunk. Another Horford dunk set up by Zaza Pachulia and Stevenson's 3-pointer — also off a Pachulia pass — bumped the lead to 100-91 with 1:28 to play.
That was too much for Oklahoma City to overcome.
Williams, the runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year last season with Philadelphia, was one of several acquisitions in an offseason roster shake-up that included Joe Johnson leaving for Brooklyn.
Martin, the Thunder's new sixth man after James Harden was dealt to Houston a week ago, got it going early with 22 first-half points. But it was Williams who finished it off.
"Lou got into a rhythm. He got into a rhythm and we were going to ride it," Drew said. "I had to make a decision whether to bring (starters) Jeff (Teague) and Kyle (Korver) back, but the group that was in there, they had a good rhythm going and I did not want to do anything to disrupt that.
"So, we decided to ride Lou's hot hand and he made some really big baskets," he added. "He made some really big plays for us."
Atlanta turned 12 offensive rebounds — six by Horford — into 16 points.
Jeff Teague had 16 points but was replaced down the stretch by Harris, who was dropped out of the starting lineup in favor of Stevenson. Anthony Tolliver started in Smith's place, but it was Pachulia who played late and made assists on a couple key baskets.
"I thought the ball swung around a lot tonight, which shows the growth that this team has displayed over the past couple of games. Hopefully, that'll be something we can bottle up and use in the future," Williams said.
The Hawks hit four straight shots and scored 11 consecutive points to take the lead late in the first quarter, with Teague connecting on a pair of driving baskets and two free throws to make it 22-16. Atlanta's advantage reached as high as 10 after Williams' jumper in the first 2 minutes of the second quarter.
The Thunder outscored Atlanta 33-14 over the next 12½ minutes to lead 57-498 early in the second half.
"We had a lot of breakdowns. We can't start the game off in cruise mode. We've got to go take it," Durant said after his team fell to 1-2. "A team's not going to just let us feel our way into the game. We've got to go take the game.
"Early on, we just sat back and let them do whatever they wanted and that gave them confidence toward the end of the game," Durant added.
NOTES: Brenda Pantoja became the third woman to officiate an NBA game, following veteran official Violet Palmer and fellow rookie Lauren Holtkamp. Holtkamp, who made her debut in the Bulls-Cavaliers game on Friday night, are two of six non-staff officials who will work games this season. Pantoja, a former Arizona point guard who holds the school's career record for assists, has worked in the WNBA and NBA development league in recent years. ... The Hawks also won last season's only meeting. ... Durant, the three-time scoring champion, came in leading the NBA with 15.5 rebounds per game.

Important: Air Quality Test Kit Information Below
Recently some questions have been raised about our laminate products. Let me make one thing very clear – our laminate products, all of our products, are 100% safe.
These attacks are driven by a small group of short-selling investors who are working together for the sole purpose of making money by lowering our stock price. They are using any means to try and scare our customers with inaccurate allegations. Their motives and methods are wrong and we will fight these false attacks on all fronts.
Lumber Liquidators' products are safe and meet the highest quality and environmental standards. That's why we sell these products, why we use them in our own homes and why we are a market leader. As consumers ourselves, we are committed to delivering safe and long-lasting products to our customers. Our commitment begins with meeting the most stringent environmental and quality standards. These standards ensure that our products are safe, meet all government requirements, and are approved by government-approved third-party validators.
This commitment to quality and safety extends to everywhere we do business. We require that all of our suppliers comply with California's advanced environmental requirements, even for products sold outside California.
Lumber Liquidators offers many types of flooring. Like other flooring retailers, some of these options may utilize glues containing formaldehyde which can also be found in other fabricated household items such as paneling, cabinetry, and furniture. Formaldehyde, which exists naturally in the environment, is also found in permanent press fabrics, bath oils, bubble bath, and an array of cosmetics, deodorants, fingernail polishes and shampoos. Our commitment to the health and safety of our customers includes meeting or exceeding industry standards on formaldehyde emissions through compliance with applicable regulations such as those established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
What products do the CARB standards apply to?
The CARB emission standards apply to certain components of most laminate and engineered flooring and accessories. The CARB regulation does not apply to the Lumber Liquidators manufacturing process or to the finish applied to solid hardwood flooring (including Bellawood), solid bamboo, or vinyl flooring.
60 Minutes used an improper test method in its reporting that is not included in California's regulations and does not measure a product according to how it is actually used by consumers. 60 Minutes used a "deconstructive test," which would be like testing the emissions of a car by removing the catalytic converter and muffler. In contrast, we perform California Air Resource Board (CARB) testing on the fiberboard core and A SECOND ROUND OF TESTING on the finished product.
For more information, read the following:
Data includes independent testing of samples from Lumber Liquidators' suppliers located in China. Click to enlarge.
1. Supplier Agreements: All of our suppliers must sign agreements that they comply with all applicable regulations, including the CARB regulations, and Lumber Liquidators' Supplier Reference Manual;
2. Supplier Due Diligence: We perform extensive research on each supplier and create a unique supplier profile for each that contains detailed information about their operations such as raw material sourcing, adhesive types used, and quality control procedures;
3. Verification of Supplier Certifications: We obtain Third-Party Certifier certificates, as noted earlier, to verify supplier claims, and classify suppliers as manufacturers or fabricators, each requiring specific reviews for their respective types of operations;
4. Initial Product Testing: We perform preliminary tests on supplier samples and will not qualify a supplier if CARB regulations or Lumber Liquidators' own requirements are not met;
5. Supplier Audit: We audit a supplier's ability to comply with applicable laws, which often includes an on-site factory audit and/or a desk audit of a supplier's operations and capability to meet regulatory requirements;
6. Initial Purchase Qualification: We conduct a formal "preliminary purchase decision" step in which we review all audit results and other materials collected to-date and then decide whether to move forward with a purchase on a preliminary basis only;
7. Initial Shipment Inspection/Test: We test the initial shipment or first lot sent and confirm that the products comply with all requirements. Lumber Liquidators also sends samples from initial shipments to independent third-party testing labs to monitor compliance;
8. Quarterly Reviews: We conduct a quarterly review of each supplier and product group to monitor compliance with all legal requirements and Lumber Liquidators' own stringent quality control standards, which includes third-party lab testing;
9. Periodic/Random Audits: We conduct periodic, random audits of suppliers that include reviews of certificates, invoices, and operational records.
As part of our robust Quality Assurance program, Lumber Liquidators maintains lab facilities in the U.S. and Asia capable of performing full-scale product evaluations and testing. To support our ongoing commitment to product quality and compliance, we built a new 1,500 square foot technical facility as part of our East Coast Distribution Center construction effort. The new facility allows us to expand our technical capabilities to include ASTM D6007 formaldehyde emission chambers correlated directly with a CARB-approved Third Party Certifier – a first in the retail flooring industry.
Lumber Liquidators also conducts vendor training to help ensure that our suppliers fully understand all requirements. This training is conducted onsite at international locations, via online courses and through our vendor seminars. In August 2013 and 2014 approximately 40 companies attended our training sessions in China each year. To our knowledge, none of Lumber Liquidators' peer wood flooring or home improvement companies, nor any furniture companies, has a similar CARB training program for their suppliers.
What else is Lumber Liquidators doing to ensure health & safety?
Though CARB applies only to products sold in California, Lumber Liquidators requires all suppliers delivering products containing composite wood components to comply with CARB requirements regardless of whether we intend to sell the products in California or any other state or country. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has drafted national standards for composite wood products that are similar to the CARB standard, those standards have not yet been enacted. Until that time, Lumber Liquidators believes that applying the rigorous California standard throughout North America is the right thing to do.
To reassure our customers, we are providing indoor air quality testing at no cost to qualifying customers as the fastest, most effective way to measure the total level of formaldehyde in the home. The testing is being administered and the results produced by an independent, accredited lab. The customer is in control of the process, with clear instructions on the test and its results. We will conduct an in-depth evaluation of air quality and potential formaldehyde sources for any customer whose results are inconclusive or above established thresholds. Our customer care team will work with our valued customers throughout the process.
The home test kits are being provided as a step for customers with our laminate floors to help reassure them that their floor as installed is safe. Please fill out the form found at the link below to determine if your floor qualifies for the free test kit. If your floor does qualify, you will be walked through the process of ordering the test via an independent lab.
Lumber Liquidators is committed to being a positive force in the communities in which we, and our suppliers, operate. To that end, we support the eradication of child labor, the elimination of human trafficking and the adherence to applicable laws governing the employment of workers. We believe that implementing high standards for worker health and safety leads to higher-quality products and reduced costs both for us and our customers.

MD Formulations At-A-Glance
Strengths: The entire line is fragrance-free; some well-formulated AHA products featuring glycolic acid and ammonium glycolate; a selection of very good cleansers; some extraordinary moisturizers and serums; very good toner; an oil-rich lip balm with broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Weaknesses: Some AHA products that include alcohol and other irritants; jar packaging; sunscreens without sufficient UVA protection; the at-home peel kit is an irritation waiting to happen; adhering to a routine of several MD Formulations products may expose skin to an excessive amount of exfoliation; incomplete routine(s) for blemish-prone skin.
This medically oriented, spa- and salon-sold skin-care company has its roots in alpha hydroxy acids, and was selling products with these ingredients as early as 1983, years before the cosmetics industry at large began promoting AHAs as the latest antiwrinkle miracle. The AHA craze has long since quieted, but ongoing, substantiated research has proven what a valuable asset properly formulated AHAs can be for skin. MD Formulations uses glycolic acid and ammonium glycolate (an exfoliant and pH adjuster related to glycolic acid) as its chief AHAs. Glycolic acid, in particular, has the most long-term research establishing its benefit for skin. Its list of benefits for skin is impressive, and these include improving photodamaged skin, normalizing the surface of skin so it appears smoother and healthier, improving the function of the skin's outer structure so it protects skin and reduces dryness, eliminating a dull surface, and stimulating collagen production (Sources: Journal of Dermatology, January 2006, pages 16–22; Experimental Dermatology, 2003 Supplement, pages 57–63; Cutis, August 2001, pages 135–142; Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, July 2000, pages 280–284; American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, March-April 2000, pages 81–88; Skin Pharmacology and Applied Skin Physiology, May-June 1999, pages 111–119; Dermatologic Surgery, August 1997, pages 689–694; Journal of Cell Physiology, October 1999, pages 14–23; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 1996, pages 867–875).
This is exciting information, but it's critical to keep in mind that glycolic acid (and AHAs in general) is not the only answer for aging, sun-damaged skin. Luckily, MD Formulations thinks so too, because several of their latest products contain AHAs along with antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients (such as peptides and phospholipids), and retinol (cell-communicating ingredient and antioxidant). Research has shown that combining an AHA with retinol enhances its bioactivity in the lower layers of skin without altering the efficacy of the AHA (Source: Dermatology, 2005 Supplement, pages 6–13).
In many respects, next to the Lauder-owned lines, MD Formulations has a fantastic roster of antioxidant-laden moisturizers and serums. Even their toner is highly recommended, and we don't often get excited about toners (well, except my own, but that's another review). Surprisingly, for a company that is close to the cutting edge of creating state-of-the-art skin-care products, they still use jar packaging for many products whose ingredients are light- and air-sensitive. Those products should be avoided, especially for what MD Formulations is charging.
It's also distressing that half of their sunscreens lack sufficient UVA protection and a handful of products contain well-known irritants that don't promote healthy, intact skin (what were they thinking?). Due to the manner in which well-formulated AHA products work, sun protection is essential. As skin's outer, thickened layer is removed, the vibrant, "new" skin is more vulnerable to sun damage. It would be optimal if MD Formulations stocked a wider variety of effective sunscreens, and added as many antioxidants to them as they do to most of their moisturizers and serums. Still, plenty of other lines sell beautifully formulated sunscreens, so you can cherry-pick the suitable prime options from MD Formulations and fill in the sun-protection blank elsewhere (which isn't a bad idea—this is an expensive skin-care line).

Vera Moulton Wall Center 3rd Annual PH Impact Award recipient Jeannine Hart (left), together with Dr. Kristina Kudelko and PHA President Rino Aldrighetti don Six- Minute Marathon T-shirts at the Nov. 6 race
On Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011, nearly 1,200 walkers and runners, plus hundreds of volunteers, joined together to participate in the 11th Annual Race Against PH on the Stanford University Campus in Palo Alto, Calif. This event served as an important way to raise PH awareness on the West Coast, and this year, PHA partnered with the Race Against PH to debut our newest awareness-raising campaign, the Six-Minute Marathon (6MM).
Based on the six-minute walk test, a common metric used to evaluate the well-being of PH patients, the 6MM acts as an easy-to-understand activity to raise public awareness of PH. By running or walking the Race Against PH course, each race participant also completed his or her own timed 6MM within the longer 5K route. The Race Against PH organizers opted to make their 6MM 400 meters in length, one possible distance that a PH patient might cover during a six-minute walk test.
After the race, participants visited PHA's tent to receive a commemorative 6MM T-shirt (supported by Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc.) and race certificate, and to stock up on PH awareness materials. Patient and caregiver volunteers at PHA's tent generously gave their time in order to educate others about what it is like to be affected by PH.
Thanks to the Race Against PH, PHA was able to launch our newest national campaign on the right foot! In 2012, let's grow the 6MM — these simple events can be hosted coast-to-coast in a variety of settings such as schools, hospital grounds, community centers and local outdoor tracks. You can even incorporate a 6MM into an existing special event, like Race Against PH did. Read more information about creating a 6MM event

With the holiday season behind us, many families may have received the gift of a new television. Once it's out of the box, it is important to know the danger of TV tip-overs and what you can do to keep your children safe. A new report released in December by Safe Kids Worldwide and SANUS revealed that every three weeks a child dies from a television tipping over, and almost 13,000 more children are injured each year in the U.S. This represents a 31 percent increase in TV tip-over related injuries during the last 10 years.
A Report to the Nation on Home Safety: The Dangers of TV Tip-Overs includes data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission and new findings from Safe Kids Worldwide primary research. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, from 2000-2010, on average, a child dies every three weeks. The report shows young children have the greatest risk of being injured by TV tip-overs. According to the research, seven out of 10 children injured by TV tip-overs are 5 years old or younger. This age group also accounts for nine out of 10 serious injuries requiring hospitalization, including head injuries, which are among the most severe.
"Every 45 minutes, or less than the length of a Sesame Street episode, a child in the U.S. visits the emergency room because of a TV tipping over," said Cherie Safe, Safe Kids Kansas. "Securing your TV will go a long way in protecting your family."
Many TV tip-overs are a result of unsteady TVs that are not secured to the wall. Flat screen TVs that are top-heavy with narrow bases can be easily pulled off an entertainment center or table. Large and heavy old-style cathode ray tube TVs placed on dressers or high furniture can also tip over if children climb the drawers to reach a remote control, a piece of candy, a video game or anything else that attracts their attention.
The report also revealed three out of four parents don't secure their TV to the wall. Most families are unaware that securing a TV is an important safety measure. Others decide not to mount their TVs because of concerns about damaging the wall or installing the TV incorrectly.
Safe Kids Kansas and community partners are launching a national effort to prevent injuries from TV and furniture tip-overs and educate communities by calling on families to conduct a quick TV safety check, which includes the following steps:
• Check Your TV. Assess the stability of the TVs in your home. Remember, a curious, determined child can topple a TV. Children playing with friends or pets could knock a TV over, while other kids might be tempted to climb up to reach items placed on or near a TV, such as remote controls or candy.
• Secure Your TV. Securing your TV to the wall is a safe solution. Much like child proofing with a toddler gate or electrical socket cover, TV mounts and furniture straps are necessary precautions for keeping your family safe.
Page 2 of 2 - Also, remember to secure other furniture in the home to prevent injuries from furniture tip-overs. Go to www.safekids.org and www.charlieshouse.org to learn more.

I am really enjoying these shoes. I love that Tory started putting leather soles on her shoes again. These smoking slippers are very comfortable and classy looking at the same time. Anytime I can combine comfort and style, I try to do so. It just makes life so much easier. These shoes are dressy enough, because they are patent and quilted, that they look good with work clothes and jeans alike. The patent navy is very pretty. Well done!

I never write reviews but I LOVE these shoes. I have many pairs of Tory shoes but these are maybe my favorites. They are super comfortable while also somewhat unique. I like that the logo is discreet. I love the navy as opposed to the universal black.

little big but looks great overall. one thing still makes me hesitate to keep this shoes. the sole of the shoes is too thin and like leather, not the hard material. it needs to be spreaded the outsole.

Beautiful shoe but destroyed my feet. Felt comfortable around my home, so I thought I was good to keep them and head outside. After about 10 minutes, blisters were already starting to appear and by the end of the days they cut up my feet so much and I was covered in band aides. Now I have these awesome looking shoes but I'm afraid to ever wear them again.

The product you sold me had the looks as showed but the width of the shoe is far to skinny for me. I wore the shoes for 4-5 hours and I've already received blisters on my ankle. And the next day I woke up to a throbbing bruse. the next model you make, try to make the ridges of the shoe a more softer material.

Rated 5 out of 5 by glo53 Great Shoe!
This shoe is comfortable and stylish. It has a classic, feminine look. It can be worn with jeans and shorts and is very attractive with pants and capris. I love it so much I hope you'll make it in some more solid colors too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Trendy15 Smoking Is Right!
This is a gorgeous shoe! I have yet to wear this shoe to give a full review though just slipping my foot in it and walking around a little bit, it's very comfortable. Can be worn dressy or casual so very versatile.

Hi, I'm Angela. Welcome to Oh She Glows – an award-winning recipe blog featuring over 500 healthy recipes! For the past 5 years, I've shared mouth-watering, energizing recipes that I eat on a daily basis as well as oodles of drool-worthy photographs. My goal is to inspire others to embrace more plant-based foods in their diet without feeling deprived. And yes, my recipes are great for meat-eaters and picky kids too. Most of my recipes are gluten-free and many are allergy-friendly.
My first cookbook, The Oh She Glows Cookbook (released March 4, 2014) is a New York Times Bestseller. It was also selected as Indigo's BOOK OF THE YEAR for 2014. It features over 100 plant-based vegan recipes (including 85 gluten-free recipes) using real, whole food ingredients. The book also contains over 100 full-page, full-colour photographs shot by yours truly. For more info, see here.
Note: The parfait cover is the Canadian cover and the carrot cover is the US cover. The content is the same in both, however!
Feeling hungry? Here are several of the most popular recipes on Oh She Glows right now:
1) Raw Almond Butter Cups; 2) Rad Rainbow Raw Pad Thai; 3) Natural Energy Drink: Chia Fresca; 4) Back on Track Green Monster (Banana-free); 5) Glazed Lentil Walnut Loaf; 6) Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabars
My Story:
On October 31st 2008, I started Oh She Glows to write about my recovery from an eating disorder, my journey to health, and the amazing transformation that food can make in our lives. Within the first few months of blogging my readership started to grow and before long I connected with women and men all over the world. Today, almost 5 years later, Oh She Glows receives millions of hits each month. I never expected that my blog would turn into a passion and eventually my full-time career, but I'm extremely grateful that I took a chance and hit publish on my first post.
As my relationship with food improved, I focused on creating healthy plant-based recipes that would win over my husband's approval. At the time, Eric was a devout fast-food lover and drank pop like water. Coming up with healthy dishes that he enjoyed was a difficult task, but I was up for the challenge! I didn't come from a food or photography background (nope, I barely knew how to cook a potato), so everything you see on this blog is a result of hard work and self-taught skill. I taught myself how to create recipes and photograph my creations. It's been an adventure!
Fast forward to 2012-2013 and I'm now working on my first cookbook which is due out early 2014.
[interview in The Writer Magazine]
Let me rewind a bit and tell you about what was going on in my life the year I started my blog.
In 2008, I married my high-school sweetheart, Eric, and graduated with a Master's degree in Social Psychology. Life was wonderful, yet not so wonderful at the same time. I was in recovery for an eating disorder, something I had been struggling with since I was 11-12 years old. Despite the great things going on in my life, I couldn't enjoy them fully without putting my eating disorder behind me. It was like a storm cloud hovering over me for years.
During the last semester of my Master's degree, I started working full-time as a researcher. I did a lot of hands on, practical research and even had the opportunity to write a book chapter, but ultimately I found that research did not fulfill me like I thought it would. I just felt so empty inside and deep down I knew that it wasn't a great fit. I longed to express my creative side! I wanted to write, but not in the form of scientific articles. Thankfully, Oh She Glows was a great outlet and really let my creativity flourish. For the first year of blogging, I wrote 3 posts per day (yes, you read that right) and I absolutely fell head over heels in love with my new hobby. Up until this point in my life, I never had a hobby that I felt so passionate about and it felt so rewarding to enjoy something so much. Connecting with others all over the world motivated me to keep going during a time when I was very unhappy with my career. Whenever I was frustrated with career unhappiness and worried about my future, I would brainstorm ideas for blog posts. Boredom was no longer in my vocabulary.
In 2009, I took the leap and left my research career. This was a difficult and anxiety-provoking decision as someone who doesn't like change or letting people down. I had no plan, but a supportive husband, tons of drive, and a hobby I loved. After a couple months of looking for other research jobs, I decided to start up my own business, Glo Bakery – a healthy bakery featuring my popular Glo Bars. Walking away from a career that I went to school for 7 years was not an easy thing to do, but it turned out to be the best career decision I could've made. Finally, I felt passionate and in control of my own happiness! I was determined and filled with passion to make this new career work.
I ran the bakery on my own (with the help of my husband when he had time) for a couple years and it was a huge success. Each week, I hand-made over 500 Glo Bars and shipped them to customers (many were blog readers!) all over North America. It was physically exhausting running both the bakery and the blog, but I knew that I was on the right path to career happiness. No matter how much work it took, I was willing to do it.
After a couple years of running the bakery and blogging full-time, I closed the bakery to pursue my cookbook dreams after being approached by an editor from a major publishing house. The bakery was an experience I will never forget and I learned so much. Right now, my focus is on writing a fantastic cookbook and blogging, but who knows, some day in the future I might open up the bakery again!
My husband Eric and I are expecting our first baby late September 2014! You can read my announcement in this post. Also, check out my Baby section, where I post frequent pregnancy updates.
Learning to love food again
With hard work, counseling, and persistence, I was able to overcome my struggles with disordered eating. I no longer count calories, weigh myself obsessively, binge eat, or workout compulsively. Balanced is how I feel in my life now. It's a great feeling after so many years of struggle.
I shifted my diet to plant-based in mid-2009 after learning more about nutrition, animal welfare, and the environmental impacts of factory farming. My goal is to show you healthy, unprocessed, and animal-product free recipes that I create to keep myself and my family inspired about tasty good-for-you food. My husband dropped 20 pounds effortlessly and got rid of his high cholesterol – all without dieting or medication. I share my recipes on this site to hopefully inspire readers to try out my recipes. The best part about my recipes is that anyone can enjoy them from vegans to omnivores alike. Don't believe me? Just read some of the glowing reviews in the comments. I've received hundreds of emails over the years from blog readers crediting Oh She Glows for inspiring some major changes like losing weight, shifting to a plant-based, vegetarian, or vegan diet, reducing meat consumption, overcoming eating disorders, and changing careers. I am so grateful to be a able to share my passion for food and wellness on this blog and most importantly, to hear YOUR stories of triumph!

Story Tip: Step Up Your Nutritional Game During National Salad Month
I thought you might find the following of interest. Please take a look below and let me know your thoughts. As always, any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, need help with anything or are interested in posting the video, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Marissa TuchbandStory Information:
Most people know salads are an important factor in the quest for optimal health but did you know that May was National Salad Month? Launched in 1992, National Salad Month is used to shine a spotlight on the health benefits of eating different kinds of leafy greens and colorful vegetables.Scientific evidence of salads' health benefits can be found in a study conducted by University of California, Los Angeles and Louisiana State University that was published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. This study found that those who eat salads, raw vegetables and salad dressing have considerably higher levels of vitamins C, E, B6 and folic acid, all key nutrients in promoting a healthy immune system.
In addition, salad dressings are a satisfying accompaniment to the healthy vegetables and fruits consumed in salads, and many salad dressings provide an essential fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, which helps protect women against fatal heart attacks, as well as the ever-important vitamin E, which offers numerous health benefits to salad worshippers.
For more on Salad's nutritional benefits, please visit http://www.saladaday.org.
You can also view a video about National Salad Month at http://inr.mediaseed.tv/ADS_37362/
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Many Thanks,

your blog is inspirational.
i too was always around 125 lbs…being 5″2′ made me still look floppy…i guess if i were to put it into perspective, 125 lbs is pretty good now that i am 148 lbs… i seem to be going up a few going down a few…i have been like this for a few years now…well, after i had my kids… i am an extremist and a perfectionist. if i set out to burn 400 cal each time that i am on my treadmill, i will meet my goal and if it is supposed to be 5 times a week, i will workout. and then, i see 2 lbs down and i panic…i binge or i stop working out…but instead of forgiving myself for the binge, i feel like i need to punish myself for not being perfect and then i fall off the perfect routine… i am so sad…i hate taking photos because i know i am pretty but i cannot look at myself because all i see is fat, stretch marks, loose skin…so loose…that when my husband looks at it he feels really bad that i have it… he is so supportive…he too began at 210 and no he too is 170 but i am still 148…and i cannot seem to grasp control…i get new energy and i working hard and then i had an injury i guess hips…i guess it is considered pelvic but i could not work out and i still can't….i will go to my dr today again for some therapeutic massages…but i am just not sure that i will ever end this battle…i want to be toned and healthy…and my goal is to just eat raw food, whole food in every sense (from the ground up0…and i do bikram yoga- which is amazing but now i cannot do it because of my injury… i feel like i am drowning and i cannot come up to grasp for air…i am mentally beat…and i am the one who is giving myself that beating…
i am probably one of many. and you probably think that i should just get a grip. and i agree. thank you for your time.- February 19, 2013
You are not alone. There are physical as well as emotional and spiritual triggers for the cycles of an ED. Each individual is unique and you are the expert on your body.
May I suggest you consider a concept? Compassion for self. What is compassion? How do you show compassion for others? Are you willing to practice consistent, compassionate self care?
You are not alone. And you are worth your best efforts. Love yourself today. Take the next 10 days and keep a gratitude journal. 10 things or more. Express gratitude and see how your heart shifts.
An ED can be left behind! I know. In order for it to be left behind, we must move forward. This e-mail is a great step in reaching out. Taking this gratitude challenge can be your first step to moving out of an ED and moving on with your life. You are worth your best efforts.

Hi Angela,
I just wanted to send a note and say thank you for a very insightful and honest blog. I really appreciate your perspective on health and fitness. And thank you for living your dreams! I have yet to try a glow bar, as I have been out of North America for a year and a half but I look forward to trying one when I get back.
You have been a source of inspiration for me to start my own blog. I launched it Monday and am having a really great time with it so thank you!

Hi Angela,
I have to say that I love your site. This is one of many firsts for me. Usually I am not big into blogs, but stumbled upon yours from SmartPrettyandAwkward, and I also tend not to be into a lot of health food. I have been reading your blog every day and as of exactly one week ago, I have had no processed food and started to eat organic. I already feel better, I really do.
Thanks for all your amazing insite and recipes. You're definitely my inspiration! I look forward to many more to come!
- June 24, 2010
I was SO excited when I stumbled upon your blog today! I've been wondering if I was the only other Canadian health blogger out there – I read so many inspiring blogs by women across the border. Now I have a local to look up to! I live in Toronto and just started blogging my journey towards healthier living (aka finding my 'glow') this spring. So far, it's been such a great experience. I look forward to following you!
p.s. Loved your Scotia Waterfront 1/2 race recap – I just started a Running Room clinic to do my very first 1/2 marathon, and that is the goal race! Will you run it again this year? - June 27, 2010
I have so enjoyed reading your blog (a friend recommended it to me) – it has quickly become one of my favorites! It has been such fun finding other foodies who share similar tastes :) I have linked to you on my blog. Keep up the great work! - June 28, 2010
Angela, I ran across your blog about a month ago and you have been SUCH an inspiration to me!!! Your blog helps me keep a positive outlook on life and to enjoy every second of it! I also have been eating clean and losing baby weight and hopefully getting my glo back and get back into running marathons and triathlons, Thank you for such an awesome blog!!
- June 30, 2010
I found your blog a few weeks ago through twitter and I have found it to be really positive and motivating! I have a similar story, I just finished my freshman year of college, 5'4 and 140 pounds. I love food, of course a bit too much. My parents are extremely into eating healthy and organically, but I have never appreciated this until now. I recently joined a gym and have become addicted to spin classes. I used to run every now and then, but I could never get myself into a routine, but I am getting more and more motivated everyday! Thank you for being such an inspiring person and continue to post fabulous recipes and tips!!

Just as so many before me, I have been truly touched by your blog. Whenever I am discouraged on this roller coaster of a ride to health I know I can find inspiration and truth in your posts and personal story. As a graduate student researching digestion, hormones and mood, personal experience of disordered eating/body image issues I could not be more appreciative of a vital mentor who has put all what I preach in practice.
I guess what I'm trying to say can be summed up into two words— THANK YOU!! :) - July 16, 2010
Hey Angela,
I love your website! I need to get some work done and it is distracting me yet again…there are so many interesting posts/recipes to review. Anyway, I am curious about a gluten-free diet. Are your recipes gluten-free? What are your thoughts about a gluten-free diet?
- July 17, 2010
What is your email? I was hoping to email you some questions I had that I was hoping to ask you about. Thanks!

Redefining What a Bible College Is and Can Be
from Keith Mathison Sep 10, 2013 Category: Ligonier Academy
Reformation Bible College (RBC) is striving to redefine what a Bible college is and can be. Unlike most Bible colleges, RBC is inspired by the model of John Calvin's Academy in sixteenth-century Geneva. This means that RBC focuses on teaching the content of the Bible, but we do not combine that with dispensationalist theology. RBC is self-consciously Reformed. The historical confessions of the Reformed faith (for example, the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dordt, and the Westminster Standards) express our theology.

An Interview with Dr. Dennis Johnson on the Nature and Role of Preaching
from L. Michael Morales Aug 26, 2013 Category: Ligonier Academy
When the apostle Peter preached his sermon during the feast of Pentecost, some three thousand souls were saved and added to the church. It is amazing to consider, however, that most of those pilgrims had likely already arrived at Jerusalem to witness the historical crucifixion of Christ during Passover. None had understood the significance of the cross through their eyes. But when the gospel was explained and proclaimed through the Spirit of the resurrected Christ, this same audience was cut to the heart, repentant, converted—the gospel is indeed the power of God unto salvation.

Our History
Rev. E. H. Branch (1925 - 1932)
Organizer and First Pastor of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church
Born out of the Salem Baptist Church in 1922, the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church was organized and established on February 24, 1925, under the leadership of its first pastor, Reverend E. H. Branch.
More about Rev. E. H. Branch...
Originally worshipping at the Odd Fellows Hall on the corner of 33rd and State Street, Antioch soon moved to 3140 South Indiana Avenue. Its charter members included, but were not limited to: Deacon Allen Johnson, S.A. Tillman, Sr., W. H. Davis, Mrs. L. H. Green, Mrs. Burton, Gladys Walters, Ida Ray, Daisy Johnson, Israel Russell, and Annie McCoy.
Antioch quickly outgrew its South Indiana Avenue location and purchased what once housed the Hamburg Undertakers Estate. In June, 1926, Antioch held its first service at this new location. Antioch continued to grow at an accelerated rate compelling Reverend Branch and the official board to look for a larger church facility. On May 2, 1928, Antioch made the down payment on its new, larger church home located at 5129 South Indiana Avenue. This place of worship, a former Jewish Synagogue, was sold to Antioch for $65,000. Antioch members sacrificially secured the down payment and on the second Sunday in May, 1928, proudly marched into their new church home. Antioch began its: Mother's Board, Sr. Usher Board, Baptist Training Union (formerly known as Baptist Young People's Union), and Senior Missionary Society under Reverend Branch's leadership. On July 16, 1932, God called from labor to reward Antioch's first pastor. Reverend E. H. Branch served the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church from 1925 until 1932- seven years of faithful service.
Dr. James Monroe Harvey, D.D., B.Th. (1932 - 1956)
Serving as the pulpit committee the official board began its search for Antioch�s next pastor. For the second time in its history, Antioch gathered to prayerfully decide who would shepherd them and on December 22, 1932, Reverend James Monroe Harvey of Shreveport, Louisiana was elected as the 2nd Pastor of the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church.
More about Dr. James Monroe Harvey...
Reverend Harvey and his wife, First Lady Saddie Harvey, arrived at Antioch in January of 1933 and quickly set about the business of the church. Following Reverend Harvey's diligent leadership Antioch worked to reduce its outstanding $55,000 church building loan. In 1943 willing workers and faithful members helped to: build and furnish the pastor's study; beautify and enclose the church property; and purchase additional property located at 4133 South Indiana Avenue at a cost of $17,500. This newly acquired property would be called, "The Community Building." On August 5, 1943, Antioch paid off the remaining debt owed on the church building and celebrated with its first "Victory Banquet" on October 20, 1943.
Using the Word of God as a lamp unto its feet and a light unto its pathway, Antioch continued to grow in faith, strength, and numbers and soon became known as a landmark in the community. Antioch was also known to have standing room only Sunday worship services. Under Reverend Harvey's leadership Antioch initiated many clubs, boards, and circles to meet the needs of its growing congregation including, but not limited to: Bible Band, Jr. Usher Board, First Aid Nurses, Jr. Church, Vacation Bible School, Audio-Visual School of Missions and Christian Education, Brotherhood Union, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and many Circles. As time progressed age and illness took its toll and Reverend Harvey retired as pastor in 1956. He died in 1957. Reverend Dr. James Monroe Harvey served the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church from 1932 until 1956- twenty four years of faithful service.
Dr. Wilbur Nathan Daniel, B. Th, B.S., M.A., D.D. (1957 - 1999)
Third Pastor of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church
After almost a quarter of a century, Antioch found itself once again in need of a leader and began to pray for the Lord to send its next pastor. The pulpit committee set about the monumental task of sifting through many possible candidates. Although many came, one was sent. That man- that preacher- that pastor was Reverend Dr. Wilbur Nathan Daniel who hailed from Clarksville, Tennessee
More about Dr. Wilbur Nathan Daniel...
During a special call meeting on March 7, 1957, approximately 500 members of Antioch gathered together and unanimously agreed that the man for the job was Reverend Daniel. Reverend Daniel accepted the call and preached his first sermon as the 3rd pastor of the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church on Sunday, April 1, 1957. Antioch was blessed with a dynamic preacher with a deep sense of dedication, a straightforward character, and an aggressive leadership style. Reverend Daniel was indeed the man for the job. He, along with his beautiful wife, First Lady Marguerite Daniel and their two sons, Wilbur, Jr. and Ricky found their new home at Antioch to be a perfect fit.
Following Reverend Daniel's leadership Antioch swelled in numbers and in less than a year outgrew its current Indiana Avenue location. Again the search for a larger facility was untaken. Antioch entered into an agreement with the Foster Park Baptist Church, to purchase what would be Antioch's new church home located at 415 W. Englewood Avenue @ Stewart Street for the staggering cost of $200,000 with another $75,000 needed for remodeling before the church body could move in. On June 29, 1958, Antioch moved into its new church home. Reverend Daniel called for Antioch to stand with him in faith and pay the loan off within three years. Once faith was unleashed within Antioch Reverend Daniel challenged the church further by calling for the debt to be paid off within the following year. Through individual pledges and love offerings Antioch met the challenge and on Thanksgiving Day 1959, Antioch proudly presented its check for the remaining balance owed to Mr. A. R. Gay who represented the former owners. Mr. Gay then presented to Reverend Daniel, the official board, and the Antioch church body the deed of ownership to the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. Each member was given a souvenir deed and history had been made in Antioch. The fire of faith had been lit and was burning bright. Antioch was indeed a powerful Christian force within the Englewood Community.
Under Reverend Daniel's leadership Antioch adopted its Christian mantra, "the way of love is the Antioch way." With the salvation of souls and the call and charge of God every before them, Antioch sought to enhance its church family and developed, maintained, and reorganized many clubs, circles, and auxiliaries to meet the current needs of its membership including, but not limited to: Senior Mission II, the Family Service Guild, Brownies, Girl Scout Troops, Cub Scouts, Boy Scout Troops, Pastor's Aid Club, W. N. Daniel Leaders Circle, African History Education Club, Birthday Clubs, Golden Gate Club, Memorial Club, Scholarship Club, Willing Workers Club, and many others. Antioch's Radio Broadcast began in 1960 and continues to reach thousands with the Word of God and Christian music.
Unwilling to thrive as a church alone, Antioch then turned its sights to its community and organized the Antioch Foundation, a non-profit corporation, in order to be the sponsoring entity of the 348 apartment Eden Green Development located at 131st and Indiana Avenue, Antioch's first housing project. As a result, Antioch became the first church in the country to take advantage of Section 202 of the National Housing Act. The Act was passed during the Eisenhower administration and provided government loans for not-for-profit organizations to develop housing for low-to-moderate income senior citizens and families. Antioch broke ground on Eden Green on June 10, 1967, and the first families moved in on September 1, 1968. Because Reverend Daniel understood that human need extends far beyond the need for shelter, the complex included a chapel for religious services. In fact, a congregation was established named "Antioch Eden Green" and Reverend Daniel was the pastor which meant that Antioch was a multisite church in 1968, long before the multisite church phenomenon of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Antioch continued the development of affordable housing adding to its portfolio the 120 unit Antioch Haven Homes; the 30 unit Roseanna Burrell Homes; the 60 unit Wentworth Haven Homes; the 60 unit Rose Haven Manor; the 40 unit Paradise Haven Homes; the 60 unit West Haven Homes; and the 73 unit Normal Haven Homes.
Propelled forward by Reverend Daniel's fiery preaching, Antioch's strong commitment to the Word of God, and its commitment to church, family, and community Antioch's membership swelled to 4,500+ members. It was a "mega church" before "mega church" was a household word. It was a tithing church. And Antioch's housing development ministry was a model for both churches and future businesses and non-profits cross the nation. Antioch was known for its risk-taking, innovative leadership; civic involvement; political influence; and strong Christian ties. Antioch was a model church, but the way had not always been easy or without trials and tribulations.
In the progress of time, the once swift footsteps of Reverend Daniel began to slow and on Tuesday, October 26, 1999, Antioch's beloved leader, pastor, and shepherd was peacefully called from labor to reward. Reverend Dr. Wilbur Nathan Daniel served the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church from 1957 until 1999- forty-two years of faithful service.
Antioch would soon be called to stand on the faith it so proudly declared to possess. It was dealt three major blows in a short span of time: (1) the death of its beloved pastor (Reverend Daniel); (2) the need and outcry for a new pastor-shepherd; (3) a major lawsuit was filed by six members of the church congregation against Antioch's leadership- a lawsuit that proved to be time-consuming and costly, but served to fortify and reinforce Antioch's faith in God.
Dr. Gerald M. Dew (2001 - Present)
Fourth Pastor of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church
Once again a pulpit committee was called to service. A pastor was needed, but who would the Lord send for such a time as this? Who would come and who could possibly navigate Antioch through its current storm and beyond? The candidates for pastor were vast. The process was long and involved. Special prayer meetings were held and the throne of God was petitioned daily for the sole purpose of God's favor and guidance in the selection process. Finally, the pulpit committee presented three names to the church body for consideration for pastor, and the lot fell to Reverend Gerald M. Dew of Houston, TX. Reverend Dew received the call to serve as Antioch's fourth pastor on Saturday, January 6, 2001. Reverend Dew along with his beloved wife, First Lady Marva Dew, made the move from Texas to Chicago and readily embraced the Antioch family. Reverend Dew preached his fist sermon as pastor on Sunday, March 4, 2001 and was installed as Antioch's fourth pastor on Sunday, April 29, 2001.
More about Rev. Dr. Gerald M. Dew...
Following the Word of God delivered through Reverend Dew's passionate preaching and visionary leadership Antioch continued to move forward and gain momentum. Under Reverend Dew�s leadership Antioch established the: Annual Leaders Retreat, Intercessory Prayer Hour, Joyfest (an evangelical outreach effort), Praise Team Ministry, Evangelism Ministry, Ministers Ministry, Visitation Ministry, Intercessory Prayer Ministry, Christian Education Workshop, Spring Church Revival, Fall Soul-Winning Crusade and Parade, Weekly Church Bible Study, Website, Media Ministry, and the Antioch Community Social Service Agency, Super Sunday, 20/30 Ministry, and others. Believing that ministry meets needs, Reverend Dew challenged and charged each club, board, and auxiliary to adopt "ministry" as a part of its title, as a result, Antioch now embraced the: Mission I Ministry, Mission II Ministry, Jr. Women Ministry, Brotherhood Ministry, Praise Team Ministry, etc. Additionally, Antioch was led to adopt its Church Mission and Vision Statement: "We are united to evangelize, educate, equip and empower humanity for the Glory of God through the proclamation of the gospel, the explanation of the scriptures and the exaltation of the Savior;" Church Vision Statement: To help others realize their full potential for the glory of God; Church Standard: Excellence; and Church Theme: the Fellowship of Empowerment.
Antioch continues to sponsor the development of quality affordable housing in the Englewood community for families, seniors, and the physically challenged. Antioch completed two housing projects that were still on the drawing board from Reverend Daniel�s administration: Prairie Haven Homes and Urbanite Apartments (both for the physically challenged) and forged ahead to complete three additional housing projects: Antioch II, Antioch III, and Normal Parkway.
Antioch was soon led to remodel its building. This project was a major undertaking; the sanctuary remodel alone cost approximately $450,000. The remodel called for the sacrificial giving of its members and once again, Antioch heeded the call and the remodeling project was soon under way. The remodel included the renovation of the main sanctuary, kitchen, cafeteria, banquet hall, Marguerite Daniel room, W. N. Daniel Fellowship Hall, Robert Wells Chapel, restrooms, offices, and first floor meeting rooms. Antioch's Roberson Learning Cultural Center was also remodeled and fitted with computers. Antioch was then led to enhance its technology and upgraded its sound system and recording devices. In addition, a big screen and projector were purchased for the purpose of enhancing the teaching and preaching ministry and the worship service in general. Plans are underway to build a Technology Center.
Leadership roles for women in the church were soon broadened in new and exciting ways, in January 2008, Joyce Barnes was elected the first female trustee of Antioch. On Sunday, May 30, 2011, Antioch formally licensed its first women preachers, Minister Melanee Roper and Minister Charmaine Perry. Antioch continues to place evangelism, missions, and the empowerment of the people of God at the forefront of all that it does. On Sunday, August 7, 2011, Antioch held its first "Be the Church Sunday." This annual event afforded Antioch the opportunity to be the church by conducting street evangelism, nursing home visits, hospital visits, feeding the hungry, etc. following morning worship service. In addition, Antioch continues its longstanding affiliation and partnership with the North Woodriver District Association, Illinois Missionary Baptist State Convention, National Baptist Sunday School and Baptist Training Union Congress, and the National Missionary Baptist Convention of America.
Like a phoenix the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church continues to rise and move forward in faith. One thing is certain- the church triumphant is alive and well.
"And I say also unto thee� upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" - Matthew 16:18

For an inexpensive solution to bottom rot, this plastic disk is the obvious answer. A winter squash can look healthy with firm hard skin where you find it somewhere on the vine, often hidden in flourishing damp conditions or resting on the dirt. It looks fine on top. Its bottom side is probably bleached looking and vulnerable to rot and insect attack. Its color is no concern but holes and rot are. So elevate!
