Strawberry Cheesecake Pie (Gluten-Free)
On Thursday of last week I spotted and pinned this Strawberry Cheesecake Pie recipe from Simply Gluten-Free (maker of my favorite gluten-free flour), and by Friday I couldn't wait any longer to give it a try. What sold me was:
- The crust is made from pecans (serious yum-factor) and is therefore gluten-free without any flavor sacrifice.
- Strawberries are in season and I was able to pick up a huge container of them at the local market for under $4.
There is a bit of patience involved with this dessert since you have to chill the cream filling for at least 8 hours before digging in. If you're planning to make one, I recommend starting a day ahead and just leaving it in the fridge overnight. Before you let the timing put you off though, I have to tell you that the flavor of the final dessert it worth every second of wait time. I love a good cheesecake, but usually feel uncomfortably full afterwards. This version however is so light and airy and is set off perfectly with the nutty richness of the pecan crust, and the crisp freshness of the strawberries. Definitely a crowd-pleaser (even for people who are used to indulging in gluten without a problem) and a recipe that is going into my binder of favorite recipes. Yum!
Please pop on over to Carol's blog for the full recipe, and then if you'd like to include my minor adaptations I've listed those for you here. Enjoy! xo Ez
Strawberry Cheesecake Pie adaptations (optional):
- For the crust I used 5 Tablespoons of unsalted butter instead of 6
- I used a Tart Tin with removable bottom for my baking dish. It worked well and looked really pretty, but I recommend a traditional pie dish if you will be transporting your dessert. That way you won't loose your strawberries off the side.
- For the filling I used approximately 1/8 cup more sugar than was called for. I recommend tasting as you mix and adjusting the sugar level to your liking.
- For the filling I also opted to measure the lemon juice and zest because my lemons were super juicy.
- For the topping I opted to cut my strawberries in half instead of leaving them whole.
- I didn't have any berry jam on hand to finish the topping with, so I made a quick jam on the stovetop. To make it I combined about 8 frozen strawberries 1/4 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of water in a small saucepan and cooked on medium until the strawberries were completely soft and the sugar was dissolved. I then used my immersion blender to quickly (and carefully) puree the sauce, and then I set it in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes before pouring it over the top of the strawberry-covered pie. Yum!
- Serve chilled.

I think the book is called "Glue Gun Decor" about a former model now decorator of her home with her beloved glue gun. Shells everywhere! When one falls off, she just plops it back on...with more glue gun. I love the verve. As for dusting, perhaps its just patina.

Jennie's life is in danger, and the secrets she's uncovering could be her undoing. Replete with daguerreotypes, family portraits, and spirit photographs, the unique visuals originated from real Civil War daguerreotypes that were transformed into eerie mementos for Jennie's scrapbook.

Profoto is renowned for its benchmark flash packs and heads but the same quality extends to virtually every piece of equipment they make. The ProTungsten Air is a case in point.
Everybody makes a 500/1000W open face or flood but Profoto does it with a durable, lightweight, ergonomic housing that features a built-in handle. And the same type of frosted dome which so successfully produces that signature quality of light in their strobes is used to the same effect in the ProTungsten. Again, using tried and true flash technology, a 2-speed fan is employed to get 300 hours of lamp life out of the advanced G 9.5-based 500 or 1000W lamp (not included). Best of all, nearly all of Profoto's extensive range of light-shaping tools can be used with the ProTungsten Air.
But there's more. Let's not forget that the "Air" in the name implies remote control and you can indeed control the light output wirelessly from a Profoto Air Remote or Air Sync Transceiver. With its multi-voltage power supply the ProTungsten goes just about anywhere there's electricity. Just swap out the lamp for one of the appropriate voltage.
Note: The ProTungsten Air does not come with a lamp in order to offer you an option of 500W or 1000W.
- Profoto offers by far the widest range of light-shaping tools available. With the ProTungsten Air, they're also available for HDSLR users and videographers.
- 500 or 1000W by simply changing a bulb
- Silent operation even with active fan cooling
- Integrated radio remote control (Output/On/Off)
- Light but robust - only 6.0 lb (2.7 kg)
- One of the most advanced halogen lamps on the market
- Lamp life is approximately 300 hours as compared with a standard GX 6.35/1000W or 500W that has a 100 hour life
- Designed for photographers and videographers

An Atlanta woman says she is lucky to be alive after an electronic cigarette she was charging in her computer's USB port exploded — and burned a hole in her rug.
"If I hadn't had been home, I would have lost my dogs, I would have lost my cats, I would have lost my house," Elizabeth Wilkowski told WSB-TV. "It was like, 'Kaboom!' And I see this flame shooting across my living room."
Wilkowski says she used a cleaning rag to grab the e-cigarette and extinguish the flame.
The store where she bought the device — a smoke-free cigarette that delivers a nicotine kick in a cool mist — said it no longer carries the eHit brand e-cigarette, which is made in China by Shenzhen Seego Technology.
According to the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association, there are more than 3.5 million e-cigarettes in use in the United States.

It seems like the entire Travolta clan is getting into the organized crime game.
According to Radar Online, John Travolta's real wife, Kelly Preston is slated to play Travolta's on-screen wife in the upcoming GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS. And PEOPLE is also reporting that Travolta and Preston's real-life daughter, Ella Bleu, will also join the cast as their on-screen daughter, Angel Gotti.
This isn't the first time the three have shared the screen together. They all appeared in the 2009 Comedy, OLD DOGS. Something tells me that GOTTI: THREE GENERATIONS will be a few steps above that…

It was a good first two weeks during the Del Mar meet. The seaside oval was up 4.8 percent in average daily on-track attendance and all-sources handle was down only 0.3 percent. Nothing to dance about, but solid numbers considering some of the figures this industry has been producing in recent years.
But the figures were not so good the first three days of week No. 3.
According to Equibase figures mailed to me, Del Mar was down $2.1 million in all-sources handle for the first two days combined, and it continues to lag far behind Saratoga in exactas handle because of its high takeout on the two-horse bets.
One source said Del Mar's total handle also was down Friday, and for the week it is down close to 10 percent.
Let's see, Saratoga, which has a takeout rate of 18.5 percent on exactas, had five exacta pools of more than $300,000 on Wednesday and Thursday. Del Mar, which has a takeout of 22.68 percent on exactas? None. Saratoga had three exacta pools in excess of $200,000 and Del Mar had one. Finally, Del Mar had two exacta pools that totaled less than $100,000. Saratoga? Zilch.
Two and a half weeks ago, Del Mar CEO Joe Harper stood in the press box on opening day and told the media he wanted to see lower takeout rates. Jack Liebau, president of Hollywood Park, wants a lower takeout, as does Santa Anita president George Haines.
The Thoroughbred Owners of California, who received a letter signed by both Liebau and Haines about 10 days ago asking for lower takeout to help increase business, has so far failed to act on the request. Early indications are they are not going to give the tracks what they requested.
"The tracks are trying to do something for the fans and to help their handle, and all the TOC cares about is itself and their purses," said longtime bettor and horse racing activist Andy Asaro.
The TOC continues to ignore the fact that horse racing needs three separate entities to succeed — the owners, the bettors (fans) and the race tracks. It's a beautiful sport when all three are working together, but it can be frustrating and harmful when one of the three is looking out only for itself.
The TOC needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Lower the takeout before it's too late. We're not watching the movie "Wall Street." Unlike what Gordon Gekko told us, greed is not good.

Tektronix/Telogy team on product buyback
Tektronix Inc. has partnered with Telogy Inc. on an instrumentation trade-in program.
Under the deal, Tektronix customers can trade in used test instrumentation when they purchase the company's new equipment. Telogy purchases and manages the used trade-in assets, and refurbishes and resells the equipment.
The program accepts test instrumentation equipment from a variety of manufacturers, Tektronix reports.
The program gives Tektronix a competitive edge with no risk and gives Telogy access to additional equipment, says Tektronix Inc. VP of Americas region sales Michael Oliveri. Customers get a shot at a discount on the latest equipment.
Telogy sells, leases, rents and buys electronic test equipment through its T&M division in Silicon Valley. Tektronix is a test, measurement and monitoring company for the telecom, computer and semiconductor industries.

A Finnish non-governmental organization based in Sierra Leone has outlined projects planned for the country during an interactive session in parliament earlier last week with their collaborative partners in the country.

Comment and Suggestion
Public reminded not to feed birds at LCSD venues
To maintain personal hygiene, keep public places clean and prevent germs that may be carried by birds, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) today (October 29) urged the public not to feed birds at its venues or contact wild birds.
An LCSD spokesman said, "Feeding birds at LCSD venues may attract wild birds to congregate and these birds may roost near the aviaries. The food remnants and bird droppings will affect hygiene and inconvenience the venue users. Also, it may cause diseases spreading, affecting public health."
It is an offence to feed birds, the spokesman added.
As stipulated in the Pleasure Grounds Regulations Cap. 132 Section 11, no one shall in any pleasure ground feed or attempt to feed birds kept or found in the venue.
Conspicuous notices have been displayed at LCSD's parks to remind people not to feed birds or have contact with wild birds.
The public are advised to wash their hands thoroughly in case of having contacted birds, their droppings or secretions.
The LCSD staff have stepped up patrolling to urge people not to feed or contact the birds either kept or found at the venues.
Anyone who fails to comply with the regulation will be prosecuted.
"Apart from the above measures, the Department will also closely monitor the health conditions of the birds kept at its venues. Our staff will strictly observe the guidelines for handling dead wild birds found. The dead birds will be sent to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for testing avian flu," the spokesman added.
He continued, "The cleansing work at the venues has been enhanced so as to upkeep the hygiene of the public places."

The S.H. Kress & Co. sit-in of April 1, 1960, will be officially recognized today with the unveiling of a historical marker at the building.
The installation of the marker on King Street near the corner of Wentworth Street is a result of an annual Preservation Society of Charleston initiative, "Seven to Save," which began in 2011 and identified seven projects that year, including "Civil Rights Era Sites." (Other projects were named in 2012 and 2013.)
As a result, the Preservation Society developed a list of 12 civil rights era structures and polled the community to whittle down the list to five. The Kress building was one of the five to be formally acknowledged with a historic marker, according to Community Outreach Manager Aurora Harris.
To come up with the initial list, Harris met with dozens of community leaders and worked hard to engage the public, she said.
The installation of a marker is no easy task, noted Preservation Society Executive Director Evan Thompson. The state and city must approve the site choice, recognizing its historical merit and approving the descriptive text that appears on the sign.
"A lot of the sites associated with civil rights history are not architecturally significant, but have some kind of cultural history associated with them," Thompson said, adding that this part of Charleston's heritage for too long has been under-appreciated or overlooked. "Preservation is about recognizing the total community," he said.
The Preservation Society has set up a "Seven to Save" fund. The money will be used to make repairs and renovations, provide maintenance and oversight and produce markers and other documentation.
The five sites are:
1. James Simons Elementary
A marker was installed at the school in April recognizing the 1963 desegregation of the Charleston County School District. That year, Oveta Glover and Barbara and Gale Ford were the first black students to attend James Simons Elementary; Millicent Brown, daughter of J. Arthur Brown, was the first black student at Rivers High School.
2. The Cigar Factory
American Tobacco Co. workers, mostly black women, walked out of the segregated Cigar Factory in October 1944 to protect wages and fight discrimination. (From 1946 to 1948, the factory became a site of voter registration drives in Charleston.) The strike helped lay the foundation for the civil rights activism of the 1950s and '60s, and it popularized the song "We Shall Overcome." A marker was erected here in April.
3. S.H. Kress & Co.
The sit-ins of the 1960s swept across the South and reached Charleston when 24 Burke High School students stationed themselves at the lunch counter of the Kress Store in protest of its policy of segregation.
4. The Progressive Club
Founded by Esau Jenkins in 1948, The Progressive Club on Johns Island provided civic education to residents and after-school activities for the island's youth. It also became a center for civil rights activists such as Bill Saunders, who was once nearly shot when a bullet came through the front window. The installation of the historic marker is scheduled for Sept. 8.
5. Medical University of South Carolina
Hospital workers went on strike in 1969, led by Mary Moultrie, in an effort to address unequal pay and unfair treatment of black nurses. Prominent civil rights leaders, including Coretta Scott King, lent a hand in the protest, which lasted 113 days. Saunders helped negotiate a settlement that included the rehiring of all strikers and the implementation of grievance procedures. The marker will be unveiled Sept. 19.

Her experiences following graduation have been diverse, including Pediatrics, OB/GYN, Internal Medicine, General Surgery and Anesthesia. Making a commitment to Family Medicine, she is able to draw on her work experience and brings that knowledge to residency training at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare.
A native of the beautiful island of Jamaica, Dr. Brown attended the University of the West Indies in Kingston and obtained his medical degree in 2005. After graduation, he worked in various medical settings including a stint aboard a European cruise liner as an aesthetic physician. He also served in the United States Navy where he enjoyed contributing to the health care of the military community. His choice of Family Medicine was driven by the myriad of experiences the specialty offers coupled with the depth of medical knowledge required. He is excited at the opportunity to complete residency training at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare. An avid sportsman, Dr. Brown was an integral member of his university's soccer and cricket teams, helping them to national collegiate titles in both sports. His fiancé is also a physician and is completing fellowship training in Adolescent Medicine.
Born in Kolkata, India but raised in Nassau, Bahamas, Dr. Choudhury found a strong interest in medicine at a very early age through his family doctor. After high school, he enrolled in St. George's University School of Medicine earning a BSc in Medical Sciences, and completing his medical training in June 2013. He also found his choice of medicine reinforced by rotations during medical school in New Jersey. As the only child of a high school teacher and a university professor, it is no surprise he has an interest in teaching and educating others and taught summer classes during medical school vacations. Outside of medicine, Dr. Choundhurty is an avid tennis fan and player, having been nationally ranked in the Bahamas and also fortunate enough to play with a few legends of the game such as Mark Knowles, Jim Courier, James Blake and Serena Williams. In addition, he enjoys going to the gym, playing the piano and trumpet and trying out different cuisines.
Born and raised on the Caribbean island of Barbados, Dr. Gittens is a graduate of the University of the West Indies, where she attended both the Mona Campus in Jamaica and the Cave Hill Campus in Barbados. Dr. Gittens graduated as one of the top students in her class attaining honors in surgery, and receiving The Lionel Stuart Prize for the best performance in the final surgery examination and the Merck Sharpe and Dohme Prize for the highest aggregate mark in the medicine examination. Following graduation from medical school in 2008, Dr. Gittens completed her internship and then worked in the public polyclinics on the island. There, she managed pediatric, antenatal, postnatal and other adult and geriatric patients daily in the clinic and at a nursing home in the community. She also cared for patients in their homes. Managing patients and their families and assisting them through crisis fascinated Dr. Gittens, and soon it was not just her job, it was her passion. Dr. Gittens was always intrigued by the plethora of conditions patients encountered, as well as the lasting relationships formed. Consequently, she decided to pursue formal training in Family Medicine. Dr. Gittens is truly excited to have the opportunity for residency training at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, as this is where she sees her dream becoming a reality. In her spare time, Dr. Gittens likes cooking, reading, spending time with family and friends, traveling, and outdoor activities.

Dr. Whitehead graduated with honors from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Arts in classical civilizations and a minor in chemistry. He then attended the Florida State University College of Medicine where he was an active officer in AMA, FRHA, FMIG, and FMA. For his third year of medical school, he chose to be a part of the FSU Rural Track program, which allowed him to take his core third year clincals in rural Marianna, Fla. For his fourth year at FSU COM, Mitchell became part of the Pensacola regional campus and focused his electives on family medicine in the community.

The IECD is committed to DF/HCC faculty diversity. To maximize our ability to recruit promising minority investigators, we persistently work to offer supplements to recruitment packages. Recently, a $100,000 supplement to competitive recruitment packages led to the hiring of four outstanding minority investigators. In addition, NIH Supplements for Minority Faculty Recruitment have increased our faculty diversity. These supplements assist individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, people with disabilities, and those from socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds that have inhibited their ability to pursue a career in health-related research.
A primary goal of the DF/HCCs Initiative to Eliminate Cancer Disparities is to recruit and support faculty from under-represented racial/ethnic or disadvantaged backgrounds (URM) and faculty focused on cancer disparities research. To realize this goal, DF/HCC has two grant mechanisms, one which provides partial funding for the recruitment of new faculty to a DF/HCC member institution, and another which offers pilot project funding for existing DF/HCC URM faculty who are doing innovative cancer research. New Faculty RecruitmentNew faculty recruitment funds are available on a rolling basis for those at an assistant professor rank or higher. When a department chair identifies an appropriate candidate, they can request a recruitment supplement from DF/HCC for up to $100K. Although these funds are available on a first-come/first-served basis during the year, every effort will be made to support as many requests as possible. These are unrestricted research funds and can be used for salary support and other research-related costs. The department or search committee chair should submit a letter of request that includes details on the mentoring plan for the candidate, his/her CV and details of the overall recruitment package. Approved funds can be used over a three-year period.Pilot Projects Program for Current URM FacultyThis mechanism is designed to invest in highly productive and promising faculty who would benefit from support that will enable them to secure peer-reviewed funding and thus establish their independence. Funds for the pilot project program come from DF/HCCs NCI-funded Cancer Core Support Grant (CCSG). Eligible DF/HCC faculty may apply for a CCSG-funded pilot project of up to $75K for one year. The proposed pilot project must: (1) be in an area of cancer research that is a priority to the DF/HCC; (2) have achievable scientific goals that will provide the pilot data needed for extramural funding; and (3) have a high likelihood of leading to peer reviewed funding. To apply, submit a 3-5 page research proposal describing the pilot project, the rationale for funding, and identifying the mentoring plan, a detailed budget, and CV. A letter of support from the primary mentor must also be submitted. Applications will be taken on a rolling basis. When funds are depleted, we will work with applicants to submit their work to the general DF/HCC development funds competition. Recipients will be expected to provide annual reports on their research progress and note the source of funding in the publications.
To be eligible for either mechanism, the submitting faculty member must:
For further information or to submit a proposal for either mechanism, please contact Karen Burns White.
Several minority fellows are currently in the pipeline for faculty positions. Other graduate and postdoctoral students are in various stages of career development. The IECD Faculty Recruitment Committee ensures all minority fellows receive adequate mentoring and are well integrated into DF/HCC activities and resources.

Things To Do in Estoril
Along the south coast of Estoril - the Cascais bay and the Tagus River estuary - you'll find quiet, calm beaches surrounded by elegant palatial homes. You'll enjoy plenty of great quality outdoor cafés, restaurants and bars, all of which are open all day and most of the night!
Beach sports
The beaches along the west coast or 'Guincho' are wilder and more natural. Guincho beach is famed for great surfing, windsurfing and kiteboarding so head there if you're in the market for an adventure!
The Estoril Coast is steeped in history. You'll be in close reach of a fascinating variety of historical buildings and sites of cultural interest. There's Cascais, where you'll find the Condes de Castro Guimaraes Museum and the Museum of the Sea, as well as a plethora of beautiful ancient churches and formidable military forts.
The Sintra hills
Close by in the beautiful, sleepy Sintra hills you'll discover the spectacular National Palace. There's an exotic and ancient Moorish Castle nearby as well as intricate, rich mini-palaces to visit at Regaleira, Pena and Monserrate. Mid way between Lisbon and Sintra you'll be delighted by the amazing and intricate Queluz Palace, just like the palace of Versailles but on a smaller scale.
Eating out
If you want to eat English style or international food, you'll find plenty to please your palate in Estoril. But the local food is, quite simply, spectacular. Traditional Portuguese dishes take advantage of the huge range of delicious, delicate fish and seafood caught just off the coast. The resort's traditional fish restaurants are always packed with locals. It's no surprise that the Portuguese eat more fish than anyone else in Europe.
International sporting events
The Estoril Coast's Manuel Possolo hippodrome has hosted the world's top equestrian show jumping event, the Global Champions Tour, for three years in a row. The region also hosts international sailing events like the Quebramar Chrysler Trophy and the Cascais Dragon Gold Cup.
Portugal's capital city Lisbon is only half an hour or so away by car or train. Lisbon is an ancient and fascinating city with its own unique atmosphere, excellent international shopping, exciting evening entertainment, galleries and museums.

Carrey takes a dive at premiereJim Carrey threw himself head-first into a crowd of fans and photographers at the UK premiere of new movie 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events'.
The Hollywood star walked down the specially-dyed yellow carpet with co-stars Meryl Streep and Jude Law in London, and had fans in hysterics with his outrageous antics.
Before diving into the crowd, Carrey, who plays wicked villain Count Olaf in the children's film, grabbed Streep and danced around with her, while pulling a selection of his trademark funny faces.
The actor then went on a brief walk-around and happily stopped to sign autographs and have his picture taken with fans.
Earlier this week, Carrey praised his late father for inspiring him to become an actor.
The Hollywood star was extremely close to dad Percy, who died in 1994, and admits he based his latest role on his father, as a special thank you to him.
He said: "My father was an amazing character. When I did something creative, he encouraged it. I usually try and put a little of dad in my roles so that it's a kind of wink to my family when they see the movies."

A SEARCH for the gene which gives budding musicians perfect pitch is under way by US scientists.
After studying a group of 500 musicians, researchers at the University of California at San Francisco believe that while early musical training is an important factor in the ability to recognise musical notes instantly, genes play a vital role, too.
"This is a classic case where nature and nurture are necessary," said team leader Nelson Freimer at the university's Neurogenetics Laboratory. The scientists announced their finding this month at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics in San Francisco.
Nurture is clearly important. His team found that 50 per cent of the subjects who began their musical training before the age of six had perfect pitch, compared with just two per cent whose lessons did not start until after the age of nine.
But the researchers also found evidence that ...
