Pumpkin Pie Pops
paper straws! I made them the same way I did before so you can visit my other post here to follow the step by step directions.
The only difference was that I used a pumpkin pie filling, and I made my filling a little bit thicker for the pie pops by not adding all of the evaporated milk that the recipe called for. I just used the recipe on the back of the canned pumpkin, however this is way too much filling for just pie pops! Unless you're planning on making hundreds of them. ;) I made about 12 pie pops and also used my filling to make mini pumpkin pies in a mini muffin tray and still had leftover filling. You could still fill a 9" pie crust really well after making 12 pie pops because you only use a very small amount of filling in each pie pop.
To make the mini pumpkin pies I cut circles from the pie crust just like I did for the pie pops, but placed them in the mini muffin trays using a pampered chef mini-tart shaper. Then filled each one with filling just below the top of the crusts. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

French Macarons
I have been wanting to make some french macarons for quite a while now, and today I finally got around to making some! I plan on making some for my sister's wedding and wanted to have a trial run before the big day. I think I will experiment more with some homemade fillings, but these that I made today were very simple and easy to make! I combined a couple recipes to create this one.
The main recipe I followed was by Martha Stewart here. I love the muted colors of her macarons, however I decided to make mine a bit more colorful!
Ingredients for Macarons:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 large egg whites, room temperature
- Pinch of cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup superfine sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 teaspoon strawberry or raspberry extract
- Teal food coloring
- Yellow food coloring
- Pink and Burgundy food coloring (i added burgundy to help make a brighter and darker pink)
(use about 1 teaspoon of filling for each macaron)
- Lemon curd
- Strawberry or raspberry preserves
- Nutella
Directions are listed at the bottom of post.

Lasagna Cupcakes
Pinterest via The Girl Who Ate Everything. This recipe is super easy to follow, I adjusted it slightly to make more of them. These little lasagnas would be great as an appetizer at a party or an easy dinner to prep at home to take to someone for a meal. You can find the recipe here to make 6 cupcakes or follow along below; I made 18 standard sized lasagna cupcakes.You could also alter the recipe to make your favorite kind of lasagna.
2. Brown your ground beef or turkey over medium high heat until browned. Add Salt and Pepper.
3. Cut wonton wrappers with a drinking glass or round cookie cutter.
4. Start layering your lasagna cupcakes. First place a wonton wrapper into the bottom of each muffin tin. Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese on top. Then top with some meat and marinara sauce. You can add the ingredients to your taste. I added about 1-2 teaspoons of the cheeses and about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat and sauce for each layer.
5. Repeat step 4 and once you end with the marinara sauce you will add more Parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top of each cupcake.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin tins. Run a knife along the edges to loosen.
8. Garnish with basil and serve.

"The idea of bittersweet is changing the way I live, unraveling and re-weaving the way I understand life. Bittersweet is the idea that in all things there is both something broken and something beautiful, that there is a sliver of lightness on even the darkest of nights, a shadow of hope in every heartbreak, and that rejoicing is no less rich when it contains a splinter of sadness. Bittersweet is the practice of believing that we really do need both the bitter and the sweet, and that a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth and your soul. Bitter is what makes us strong, what forces us to push through, what helps us earn the lines on our faces and the calluses on our hands. Sweet is nice enough, but bittersweet is beautiful, nuanced, full of depth and complexity. Bittersweet is courageous, gutsy, earthy."
Shauna Niequist
I love this excerpt from the book Bittersweet, but the rest of the book is amazing as well! Shauna also has another book that is a great read; Cold Tangerines.

Glow-in-the-Dark Slime
When I came across this glow-in-the-dark slime recipe at about.com I knew I had to make some for Hudson! It is the perfect Halloween craft for boys! It would also be great for kids Halloween party favors or gifts to give to your little one's friends. I made some free "Slime" labels to print and use on jars or bags of slime. You can find the recipe below along with the free labels!
- 1 - 4oz bottle of clear or blue gel Elmer's glue
- 1 cup of warm water
- 2-3 tablespoons of glow-in-the-dark paint
- Green Neon Food Coloring
- 2 teaspoons of Borax
- 1/3 cup of warm water
This recipe can make 2 small half jar fulls of slime or your could package a smaller amount of slime into favor baggies. You can find the Slime labels here and tied them on with black bakers twine, which I sell in my shop here.
TIPS: You can find glow-in-dark-paint at craft stores in the paint isles, and borax can be found at most grocery stores along side the laundry detergents. Also make sure to check the paint that you buy to see that it is safe to use for the project. This slime would not be suitable for small children who might put some in their mouth.

Corcept Therapeutics Announces Fourth Quarter, Full Year 2013 Revenue and Provides 2014 Outlook
MENLO PARK, Calif. - January 30, 2014
- Fourth quarter 2013 revenue up 56% over third quarter 2013 revenue
- Company anticipates Korlym 2014 revenue to grow to a range of $24 million to $28 million, up from $10.4 million in 2013
- Multiple clinical and regulatory milestones expected during 2014
Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of severe metabolic, psychiatric and oncologic disorders, today reported its unaudited net revenue for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013 and cash balance as of that date. The company also provided an overview of the clinical and regulatory milestones expected during 2014.
Corcept reported estimated net revenue of $4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $10.4 million for the full year. The company's estimated cash and cash equivalents were $54.9 million at year-end. Audited results will be available when the company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company estimates 2014 net revenue will be between $24 and $28 million.
"Korlym® revenue increased 56 percent in the fourth quarter compared to the prior quarter," said Joseph K. Belanoff, MD, Corcept's Chief Executive Officer. "We expect our momentum to continue in 2014, with Korlym revenue reaching the $24 million to $28 million range for the year."
"We have also made progress toward our other goals and are expecting significant developments in 2014," Dr. Belanoff continued. "We expect in the next few days to begin enrolling patients in our study of mifepristone as a treatment for triple-negative breast cancer. This study grew out of our work with researchers at the University of Chicago. We have many other collaborations with academic researchers exploring the basic science and possible clinical use of mifepristone (Korlym's active ingredient) in a wide range of indications. While it is too early to tell whether these investigations will bear fruit, we are pleased that the medical community is exploring the potential use of our drug in diseases as varied as alcoholism, post-traumatic stress disorder and other forms of cancer."
"We will have interim results from our Phase 3 trial of Korlym for the treatment of psychotic depression in the second quarter of 2014," added Dr. Belanoff. "And in the latter part of the year we expect that two of our novel, selective GR antagonists will enter the clinic."
2014 Objectives
- Produce Korlym revenue of between $24 and $28 million.
- Release positive interim results of our study of Korlym in the treatment of psychotic depression in the second quarter, leading to an NDA submission by year end.
- Enroll sufficient patients in our Phase 1 study of mifepristone in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer to present initial results in the first half of 2015.
- Advance two of our next-generation selective GR antagonists to the clinic in the second half of the year.
"In 2013, we focused on building our Cushing's syndrome business as we addressed our other strategic priorities," said Dr. Belanoff. "We look forward to an exciting year in 2014. Successful commercialization of Korlym will remain a key objective while we continue to develop mifepristone for the treatment of psychotic depression and triple negative breast cancer. We also plan to advance our novel, selective GR antagonists to the clinic this year, potentially for the treatment of patients with Cushing's syndrome, psychotic depression or triple-negative breast cancer."
Conference Call
Corcept will hold a conference call on January 30, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Time) to discuss this announcement. To participate, dial 1-888-771-4371 from the United States or 1-847-585-4405 internationally approximately ten minutes before the start of the call. The passcode is 36540064.
A replay will be available through February 13, 2014 at 1-888-843-7419 from the United States and +1- 630-652-3042 internationally. The passcode is 3654 0064.
About Cushing's Syndrome
Endogenous Cushing's syndrome is caused by prolonged exposure of the body's tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol and is generated by tumors that produce cortisol or ACTH. Cushing's syndrome is an orphan indication that most commonly affects adults aged 20-50. An estimated 10-15 of every one million people are newly diagnosed with this syndrome each year, resulting in over 3,000 new patients annually in the United States. An estimated 20,000 patients in the United States have Cushing's syndrome. Symptoms vary, but most people have one or more of the following manifestations: high blood sugar, diabetes, high blood pressure, upper body obesity, rounded face, increased fat around the neck, thinning arms and legs, severe fatigue and weak muscles. Irritability, anxiety, cognitive disturbances and depression are also common. Cushing's syndrome can affect every organ system in the body and can be lethal if not treated effectively.
About Korlym®
Korlym blocks the glucocorticoid receptor type II (GR) to which cortisol normally binds, thereby inhibiting the effects of excess cortisol in Cushing's syndrome patients. In April 2012, Corcept made Korlym available as a once-daily oral treatment of hyperglycemia secondary to endogenous Cushing's syndrome in adult patients with glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus type 2 who have failed surgery or are not candidates for surgery. Korlym was the first FDA-approved treatment for that illness and the FDA has designated it as an Orphan Drug for that indication. Orphan Drug designation is a special status designed to encourage the development of medicines for rare diseases and conditions. Because Korlym is an Orphan Drug, Corcept will have marketing exclusivity for the approved indication in the United States until February 2019.
About Psychotic Depression
Psychotic depression is a serious psychiatric disorder that affects approximately three million people annually in the United States. It is more prevalent than either schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder. Psychotic depression is characterized by severe depression accompanied by delusions, hallucinations or both. People with the disorder are approximately 70 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population and often require lengthy and expensive hospital stays. There is no FDA-approved treatment for psychotic depression.
About Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer is a form of the disease in which the three receptors that fuel most breast cancer growth – estrogen, progesterone, and the HER-2/neu gene – are not present. Since the tumor cells lack the necessary receptors, common treatments, such as hormone therapy and drugs that target estrogen, progesterone, and HER-2, are ineffective. In 2013, approximately 40,000 women were diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. There is no FDA-approved treatment and neither a targeted treatment nor a preferred standard chemotherapy regimen for relapsed triple-negative breast cancer patients exists.
About Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated
Corcept is a pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of severe metabolic, psychiatric and oncologic disorders. Korlym, a first generation GR antagonist, is the company's first FDA-approved medication. The company has a phase 3 trial underway for mifepristone for treatment of the psychotic features of psychotic depression, a phase 1 trial of mifepristone for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer, and a portfolio of selective GR antagonists that block the effects of cortisol but not progesterone. It owns extensive intellectual property covering the use of GR antagonists, including mifepristone, in the treatment of a wide variety of metabolic, psychiatric and oncologic disorders. It also holds composition of matter patents for its selective GR antagonists.

In terms of its energy- and environment-related life cycle assessment, wood is a renewable raw material that is far superior to other materials. Harvesting and processing wood uses much less energy than other raw materials. And at the end of its life, wood puts no burden on the natural environment, either, because it can be completely recycled.
Manufacturing and using wood as an industrial or building material both have a positive effect on the natural environment compared to other materials. Making one cubic meter of lumber releases a mere 50 kilograms of carbon as greenhouse gas CO2 (for example, for transportation and sawmills), while producing one cubic meter of aluminum releases 22,000 kilograms.
Each tree takes considerable amounts of the greenhouse gas CO2 out of the atmosphere in the course of its life and stores it in the form of harmless carbon. Using wood as a material for building or other purposes relocates this storage effect. No matter whether it is used in a wooden house, in designer furniture or window frames, one metric ton of dry building timber stores roughly 510 kilograms of carbon, corresponding to 1.8 metric tons of CO2 which would otherwise augment the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. Roughly 36 metric tons of CO2 are stored in a single-family home made of wood, for instance. And the longer the service life of a wood product, the longer it holds in its CO2.
Sustainable forestry and wood exploitation thus diminish the increase of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, help counteract the greenhouse effect and does no damage to forests. Especially if the wood is used according to the principle of sustainability, this means that only as much wood can be harvested as will grow back.
In the temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere – especially in North America and Europe – less wood is taken out than grows back. That is why the forested area in these regions is growing, as is the amount of wood. Thus the forests still offer considerable potential for exploitation without violating the rules of sustainable forestry. At present, ten percent of the world's forests are enough for the sustainable supply of the entire industrial need for wood – including paper. Nowadays, wood is still primarily used as a source of energy – around 55% of all wood harvested is used as fuel, mostly in the Southern hemisphere.

GENEVA (AP) -- Lance Armstrong's name is coming out of cycling's record books.
Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life by cycling's governing body Monday following a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that accused him of leading a massive doping program on his teams.
UCI President Pat McQuaid announced that the federation accepted the USADA's report on Armstrong and would not appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
In Paris, Tour director Christian Prudhomme said at a news conference he no longer considers Armstrong the seven-time champion of the race. Prudhomme called UCI's decision "totally logical" and said "Lance Armstrong is no longer the winner of the Tour de France from 1999-2005."

By Shanti Shanti Kaur Khalsa
How do we develop our capacity to stay relaxed, clear, and calm amidst constant new information and change? Of course, each day eat well, drink plenty of water, exercise, breathe, meditate, make time for quiet, and remember. What to remember? I find that keeping in mind the five sutras of the Aquarian Age taught by Yogi Bhajan is a great stress buster.
When time is on you, start, and the pressure shall be off.
In other words, just get going. Right away, take a deep breath, and call upon the unseen resources of the Universe. Next, select the most important task that needs to be addressed right now. Direct your attention, your thoughts, and your actions toward the solution.
There is a way through every block.
This is helpful to remember, especially when you have no idea in the moment just what that way through is. Simply knowing that there is one will help you be both receptive to, and active toward, finding one. Remember that the help you need can come from unexpected places.
Vibrate the Cosmos. Cosmos shall clear the path.
That's right, chant. Out loud is better, although silently works, too. Changing your mental frequency changes your emotional response to the situation and environments, allows you to focus on the present demands, and opens up your own inner wisdom and clarity. It also helps others stay calm around you.
"Vibrate the Cosmos" also means to be aware of your words, and tone of voice. Avoid venting your frustration by bad mouthing someone or repeating over and over what a lousy situation you're in. Make a practice of consciously choosing your words, and then notice how much energy and spirit you have, how others change around you, and how quickly you get things done.
Understand through compassion, or you will misunderstand the times.
Be kind to everyone, even when you are angry or upset or in a hurry. Responding kindly to others when the pressure is on makes it safe for them to come forward with solutions and to take appropriate action. Aren't you more willing to help someone when they are kind to you? Kind understanding makes good will for the next project.
Recognize that the other human being is you.
It is easy to blame others, or to think poorly of them, when the pressure is on. Why waste time and energy upsetting yourself over the actions or lack of action of another person? Remember that they have an infinite soul, too. Draw on the other person's intelligence, talent, creativity, time, and energy. You will both feel great when the job is done.

It doesn't last all that long on me and it doesn't smell like tobacco to me.
Try Bogart pour Homme for a loud and longlasting tobacco scent.
Thread: Baldessarini EDC
I think I'm gonna scoop this one up since I'm looking for a tobacco scent. However, I'm looking for kind of a loud, easily detectable tobacco. Since this is an EDC, is this still going to have decent lasting power? I've done some reading and can't find a consensus.
It doesn't last all that long on me and it doesn't smell like tobacco to me.
Try Bogart pour Homme for a loud and longlasting tobacco scent.
Average lasting power. Baldessarini Ambre has more tobbacco.
It's oranges and lemons.
Baldessarini is quite nice. I have decent lasting power with four to five sprays. However, this one is sweet orange prominent to my nose, tobacco note is imperceptible. If you like sweet fragrance with very noticeable tobacco note, I would suggest Burberry London.
The EDC is, at least from what I tested on my skin, almost a misnomer. Though officially EDC, technically I got EDT lasting power from this one.
My guess is that you'd be better off with something like Michael for Men by Kors.

NOTE: This recipe could easily be adapted for a vegetarian by not using sausage and using more chopped mushrooms and bread crumbs.
NOTE: If you notice a toothpick...um, I kinda got aggressive cleaning out the mushrooms...and I "bwoke" one. I patched it back with a toothpick, which worked just fine.
TASTE NOTES: Regular Italian sausage is an ideal ingredient. Just be sure to drain the excess fat. Fresh thyme would be an excellent addition. I'm not sure if panko crumbs are vital. The moisture of the filling defeated the crunchiness of panko crumbs. I think regular bread crumbs would be fine. You can easily make the sausage a day ahead-- which is exactly what I've done.

Lupus in Children
If your child has systemic lupus erythematosus (S.L.E.), she is not alone. Of the more than 1.5 million Americans with this serious chronic illness, an estimated 5,000 to 10,000 are diagnosed under the age of 18. In this age group, boys also get lupus. The scenario changes in adulthood, when females are far more susceptible.
Approximately 1 in 3 children with lupus have mild disease, but most have a moderate disease that may be severe at times, but usually responds well to treatment. With proper diagnosis and treatment only a small number of children develop severe and life-threatening lupus.
There is no single laboratory test that can prove a child has this complicated illness. Symptoms are often vague, and come and go over time. Because of these starts and stops lupus can be hard to diagnose at first and requires a careful physician to follow and treat it.
Why does your child have lupus?
Researchers are working to figure out why lupus happens to certain people and not to others. Most likely, a person inherits genes that make him or her more susceptible to this illness, and events in the body or the environment such as hormone surges, infections, stress, or exposure to sunlight trigger the illness. Lupus is not contagious—a person can't "catch" or "give" lupus to another person.
What kinds of problems might your child develop?
Lupus is a systemic and chronic disease, which means that all parts of the body can be affected, and the disease doesn't just go away. But no two cases of lupus are exactly alike. Some children get stomach upset, joint pain, and stiffness. Others have kidney problems in which the immune system attacks these two fist-sized organs critical to filtering wastes from the blood. Since there's no way to know which parts of the body will get sick, keep in close touch with your lupus doctor.
What tests will your child need?
Regular tests of blood, liver and kidney functions should be done because they show how these important organs are doing—as well as changes that you or your child might not even be aware of. One of the most important things that you can do for your child is to find a doctor who knows about lupus and what the tests mean.
What medicines might your child have to take?
Researchers are actively looking for less toxic and more precise medicines to treat lupus. While corticosteroids such as prednisone often can prevent and stop many of the complications of lupus by suppressing the immune system, they also cause unwanted side effects such as: retention of fluid (bloating and weight gain), increased appetite, and heightened risk for infection. Over-the-counter NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can help control aches and pains. The doctor should help you and your child balance the benefits and risks of taking these and other lupus medicines.
What can I do to protect my sick child?
Here are some strategies to keep in mind.
• Corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs put your child at increased risk for infection, so avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• If your child seems sick to you, insist that the doctor examine your child.
• Set an example for a healthy lifestyle. Avoid unprotected exposure to the sun—even in winter. Encourage your child to exercise and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Limit salt, which makes the kidneys work hard. Try to get her regular sleep—which is when the body repairs itself. Set up a heart-healthy lifestyle. Provide milk, yogurt, almonds, and other calcium-rich foods to keep bones strong despite the bone-weakening actions of corticosteroids.
• Try, as much as possible, to let your child lead as normal a childhood as possible.
How can you get the best outcome for your child?
Try to find a pediatric rheumatologist who is familiar with lupus and with whom you and your child can share worries and concerns. Be sure your child keeps doctors appointments, takes her medicines, and has regular examinations and blood tests to look for problems. With early and aggressive treatment most children with lupus do well and have normal lifespans.
But it is important to have an experienced lupus doctor. At places where they know how to treat lupus, more than 9 out of 10 children will live at least 10 years and in most cases, for many, many years.
How will living with lupus affect my family?
There are many challenges to having a child with a serious chronic illness. Parents may feel overburdened. Healthy children and spouses can feel neglected. Devote time to your sick child, but make sure you and your other children and spouse get the attention that they deserve. Call on friends and family for support. Your doctor can refer you to trained counselors for extra help. Updated: July 2013

3 | Raise your hand if you weren't quite ready for the death of Game of Thrones' supercute King Renly, especially at the hands of Lost's Smoke Monster?
RELATED | New Spoiler Alert!: Silencing Smash's Ellis, Casting Kalinda's Wife Hubby and Blind Intel!

6 | Does Matthew Weiner really think the Megan character is interesting/fascinating/complicated enough to justify all the screen time she's stealing away from Peggy and Joan?
7 | Did we hear it wrong or did How I Met Your Mother's Barney say that Quinn makes $500,000 per year stripping?
8 | 2 Broke Girls' idea of the New York City subway system is skewed, right? Making people jump over a large gap underground after evacuating a car? Not gonna happen. Also, maybe they should have invested in a cooler for those cupcakes?
9 | Was there a sweeter, more quietly romantic admission of love anywhere on TV this season than the one Gossip Girl's Dan offered to Blair this week? And while we're always up for a good scheme-filled episode, does anyone actually understand what the heck is going on between Diana, Jack, Bart (?!), Chuck, Nate, Lola and Serena?

13 | Which Voice fans out there wanted to swat Adam Levine's pretty head when he explained he'd tilted his votes 60-40 for Tony Lucca over Katrina Parker in the semifinals, mostly because of his "bromance" with the former Mickey Mouse Clubber?
14 | Wait, NCIS' Tony has bikini photos of Ziva? How? From when?
15 | Couldn't you watch a whole episode of NCIS: LA's Deeks trading zingers with Hawaii Five-0's Danny? Oh, and just what sort of boudoir "costumes" do you think Kensi was referring to…?
16 | Any theories as to where Quinn has been on Glee? Out-of-state rehab facility? Wheelchair dance camp? And can we all agree that the show's rendition of Florence + the Machine's "Shake It Out" far surpassed Smash's bat mitzvah version?

19 | Were those white flakes superimposed onto some of this week's Revenge scenes on par with the Ringer boat ride?

25 | Big Bang Theory's Amy Farrah Fowler as a Star Trek nurse: TV's best sight gag in recent months? And who was hoping Penny would actually surprise Leonard with a "yes" at the end?

I think we are talking about impalement as in a pole possibly as large as a mans leg or only a mans wrist being shoved into a persons anal cavity.I'm not even trying to dispute instant death vs long slow death If that's what you think I mean. I am saying that impalement is not something you walk away from no matter how slow you die, you still die. As for capital punishment, my position is just as we do it today, you are sent to die. If it didn't work the first time, kill 'em again! Either way you still die.
You offer cases of lets call it "horizontal impalement" I don't disagree these are amazing cases. The Human body can take a lot of damage. I've seen it first hand in Iraq. seriously though. I'm still waiting for evidence of ANY crucifixion survival. survival meaning lived to tell grand kids the story. NOT survival as in it took 2-3 days to die. This impalement thing seems less likely to me though.
I'm willing to admit I didn't read your link I thought your original description was from the link. I read it wrong. I was wrong people in modern times can survive impalement. especially if the pole is 1/2" electrical conduit.
Ancient times it was a mans wrist to a mans thigh in width. While this case is amazing It could be better. I was still wrong though. impalement goes to the atheist.
I see no supporting links for the 3 friends of the historian story.
I'm still curious what would have happened to the third man if they wrapped him in a cloth and tossed him in a sealed tomb for three days with no food, water, or medical attention?Citation still needed
where a person tries to make exceptions so they can continue believing what they already believed,
I do not consider myself an atheist. I don't consider myself religious
Most historians consider Flavius Josephus (born Josephus ben Mattathias) to be pretty well authoritative. You can easily find copies of his writingsBut since it's reasonable to concludethat someone let down from a cross could survive, there's no particular reason to disallow it.
Can you cite any sources that support what was written in the Bible?
Imagine if someone wrote in a book, "this book is true and describes what really happened". You wouldwant another source besides the book which supported what was written in it, right?
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
<snip>What ever happened to that 2 day comma comment too? I had a reply for it but I lost the post in the shuffle...
I'm only saying, and I'm sure you would agree, that to read a story of a guy impaled on a telephone pole and surviving would simply be more impressive. For that to have happened 1000 or even 500 years ago would also be more impressive. None the less I concede.
Off topic a bit. you're agnostic? If not agnostic and your definition of "religious" being obviously theist. How do you define Atheist?
Are you suggesting I do your homework for you? This has never gone over well when I have suggested the same.
I agree to a point. Crucifixion was a capital punishment. When a criminal is ordered to a death the judge would say something like "..... shall be hung by the neck until death." Death being the goal. Not the speed of death.There was an American man (I'll cite if requested) He survived the electric chair. No one knew what to do with him. He was taken back to his cell. A pardon was requested because his sentence to the chair had been carried out. It was later ruled that the sentence was to death and he was sent back to the chair. Where he died. This, I'm sure, is THE reason no one would walk away from a Roman Crucifixion. Sentenced to die WILL result in death.
I think it would help if you narrowed the field a bit. Is there a certain event. I'm assuming crucifixion. Is there another? This is not a dodge. Just a request for clarity.
Sure I would. My question to you is would you do your own research and find proof for yourself, or just listen to some random dude spout off about how there is none and just believe him... on faith as some do? If there were two groups those who say yes and those who say no.. would you listen to both sides Before coming down on one side? Considering that an element of this evidence could well be archeology, would you continue to listen to the yes guys and look at evidence they submit with an open mind?
QuoteCan you cite any sources that support what was written in the Bible?I thought this was a good start especially for all those who say Jesus wasn't even a real person...http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_JesusWhat else would you like?

More than 200 of the world's greatest snowmobilers to race in AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series during three action-packed days - Feb. 22-24
A new outdoor event is coming to Western New York this February on the grounds of Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel, and it will make spectators' hearts pump fast. More than 200 of the top snowmobile racers from North America and nearly a dozen countries worldwide will converge in Salamanca for the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series, presented by Traxxas, from Feb. 22 to 24, 2013.
The racers will face off in a full-throttle, action-packed series of races that combine big-air jumps and competitive racing. Crews will turn 1 million gallons of water into snow over a football-field-sized plot of land at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel to create snowmobile tracks with wicked twists and turns, as well as ramps that will send vehicles flying dozens of feet into the air. The weekend is also one of eight nationally televised events on CBS Sports Network for the 2012-13 season.
Tickets for the event go on sale Monday, Dec. 3, at the Logo Shop inside Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel and online at www.isocracing.com. Ticket prices are $25 for Friday, $25 for Saturday, $15 for Sunday, or a value-priced $30 all-weekend pass. Admission is free for children ages 6 and younger.
Bleachers set up around the track can accommodate thousands of fans, and bright lights will illuminate the track during the evening hours on Friday and Saturday, when the main events take place and are taped for television. The atmosphere will be festive, including food, beverage, gear for purchase in the nearby Seneca Allegany Events Center, jumbo-sized video screens, autograph sessions and activities for the whole family - including the Traxxas Try Me Track, which allows fans to test remote-controlled trucks on a snow-covered course.
Carl Schubitzke, president and race director, International Series of Champions Racing, said New York state is a "hotbed" for snowmobile enthusiasts, and Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel is a perfect fit for races.
"We're looking to entertain and welcome people with open arms," he said. "The speeds and sounds are exhilarating. You definitely won't get this at home."
Approximately 50 practice, qualifying and final races will take place each of the three days, including 22 races during both the Friday and Saturday night main events. Amateur racing takes place in the afternoons, culminating in a major race on Sunday. As many as 15 vehicles will be on the track during a race, and individual races are broken down by age, gender and snowmobile type.
This is Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel's second big venture in the world of snowmobiling. In late October 2011, Seneca Gaming Corp. and the Seneca Nation of Indians provided a substantial sponsorship to Snow Bounders Inc., a local snowmobile association, for the construction and maintenance of a new 1.5-mile snowmobile trail that connects Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel to 90 miles of existing trails in nearby Allegany State Park. Snowmobiling is a $1 billion industry in New York, and there are nearly 17,000 registered snowmobiles in Erie, Niagara, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties combined. Schubitzke is confident that the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series will be a further economic boon for the region.
"There's so much to do throughout the whole experience," he said. "It's highly entertaining, and there's never a dull moment. Most of all, I think attendees will be amazed at the speed and athleticism of the athletes. They make the twists, turns and jumps look effortless."

The album Little Spark evokes a sound you might have heard 40 years ago, piercing through the static of your AM radio. The big string sections and angelic choruses are all there, echoing the hallmarks of classic orchestral pop. But Little Spark is the work of a modern singer-songwriter named Jessie Baylin.
"I wanted a bigger, more epic soundscape — and, at the same time, I wanted the lyric to feel really intimate," Baylin says. "I drew a lot of inspiration from Burt Bacharach and Dusty Springfield, Dusty in Memphis in particular."
Baylin grew up in small-town New Jersey, went to high school in Manhattan, spent six years in L.A. and finally settled down in Nashville, where she currently lives with her husband. She says that capturing the right sound for Little Spark meant putting up with technological hurdles — like the clunky analog tape machine she recorded on, which forced her to nail the songs in a single take.
"[It] was really exhausting sometimes. But I think it makes a difference, because there's a performance there," she says. "We did it in a very classic way. We wanted it to be nostalgic but still fresh and modern — you can't really place where it comes from, you know?"
Time now for music and a sound you might have heard 40 years ago piercing through the static on your AM radio.
RAZ: Those big strings, that angelic chorus and layers of echo, a Phil Spector production? Not quite. This is a brand new record, and it's by a young singer-songwriter named Jesse Baylin. This album, "Little Spark," was finished two years ago, and it's been sitting on a shelf ever since just waiting for a label to give it a chance. It finally came out this past Tuesday, and when I spoke with Jesse Baylin about it, she says she wanted to create a sound that would be timeless.
JESSIE BAYLIN: I wanted a bigger, more epic soundscape, and at the same time, I wanted the lyric to feel really intimate. And I drew a lot of inspiration from Burt Bacharach and Dusty Springfield, "Dusty in Memphis" in particular, and those records just felt so big to me. And at the same time, listening to them, I feel like they're singing right to me, and that's why I wrote the songs. But then I knew that I had to bring in the right kinds of people, so I found Kevin Augunas and Richard Swift, who is the chief arranger and played most of the instruments. And then we brought in Jimmy Haskell, who has arranged orchestral arrangements for "Bridge over Troubled Water." And Bobby Gentry's just an unbelievable man and character, and he was so playful with his arrangements. It was exactly what I wanted and what the songs needed.
BAYLIN: (Singing) Oh, your love was wasted on lovers. They don't know what's in their arms, they don't know until it's gone. Who put out that spark. Love is wasted on lovers. They will open every stage, making something just to face, seal it with a kiss. Love is wasted on lovers.
RAZ: That sound, the way you captured that sound, it was done very methodically. You wanted it to sound that way.
BAYLIN: Mm-hmm. We did it all to tape on analog. And the tape machine that we recorded on, for some reason, wasn't allowing us to punch in at all, so we had to do everything on one take, which was exhausting sometimes. But I think it makes a difference because there's a performance there. We did it in a very classic way, so maybe - and we wanted to be nostalgic, too, but still fresh and modern and you can't really place where it comes from, you know?
RAZ: You have a track on here called "Yuma." And there's a line in there that says: I gaze in Arizona and I took the California coast.
BAYLIN: Yeah.
RAZ: A lot of the songs on this record are about heartbreak, about relationships ending. Are your words personal? Are they autobiographical?
BAYLIN: Yes. Yes, they are. They come out of my journal. I try and journal every day, and that's where a lot of my lyric comes from.
RAZ: Every day you do it?
BAYLIN: I try. I haven't lately because I've been too busy, but I did write this morning. It was a very short entry. But I had to write because I realized this morning when I woke up that I'm living a dream. I didn't expect all of this. Like, it feels really great, and I just wanted to make sure I remembered that.
RAZ: The dream of being able to make a living from music?
BAYLIN: Yeah. I didn't even know if this record would even come out. When I left Verve Records...
RAZ: That was your old label.
BAYLIN: Mm-hmm. I wasn't sure. I thought I should just upload it onto the Internet because nothing's going to happen with it. But then I thought it was too good, and I held that back. And a year and a half after we finished it, I met my manager and this great little distribution company and label in Nashville. And it's somehow working out and now it's coming out. So it's just - it's such a dream. And my only expectation has been that it would come out, so everything else is just a cherry on top, truly.
RAZ: What did you do during that period? I mean, wow, a year and a half must have been agonizing.
BAYLIN: I cried a lot.
BAYLIN: I did. I mean, I remember I was on the road with my husband. We were in London.
RAZ: And I would be remiss not to mention your husband is Nathan Followill. He's the drummer for the well-known band Kings of Leon.
BAYLIN: Yeah. And it was so painful for me. There was nothing happening, and it had been like a year, and I was just like rocking the fetal position every day. I was so sad. I'm like, all I want to do is share this piece of art that I've spent so much time making, and it just was really, really painful for me. But at the same time, I'm so glad I was patient and waited because this is like the moment that I'm ready for this. It feels right. I'm ready to give it away now.
RAZ: That's singer-songwriter Jessie Baylin. Her new album is called "Little Spark." You can check out a few tracks at our website, nprmusic.org. Jessie, thank you. And good luck to you.
BAYLIN: Thank you so much.

Unless Congress throws up an unexpected roadblock, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana in Washington, D.C., will soon no longer qualify as a big deal, punishable by only a $25 fine.
As expected, Democratic Mayor Vincent Gray on Monday signed a bill into law that decriminalizes pot in the nation's capital.
The District of Columbia City Council passed the measure last month on a 10-1 vote.
Congress, which has the authority to overturn the law, must now weigh in. Members will have 30 working days to consider the matter, but no one's expecting any opposition.
"D.C. lawmakers heard loud and clear the public's demand to end marijuana arrests and passed one of the strongest decriminalization laws in the whole country," said Grant Smith, policy manager with the Drug Policy Alliance, a pro-legalization group. "We don't expect members of Congress to object to saving taxpayer dollars and advancing racial justice here in the nation's capital."
In pushing for the change, D.C. council members argued that the current penalty _ a fine of up to $1,000 and a possible six-month prison sentence for possessing any amount _ hit minorities disproportionately hard.
Studies show the District of Columbia has a higher marijuana arrest rate than any state, with blacks accounting for 90 percent of the arrests.
D.C. will join 17 states that have either decriminalized marijuana or legalized possession of small amounts, with Vermont the latest to eliminate criminal penalties, last year.

Agency's control over modified crops is limited
PORTLAND — Oregon agriculture officials say the state has no authority over genetically modified crops once federal regulators deem them safe for commercial use.
In a letter to Gov. John Kitzhaber, the Oregon Department of Agriculture said state law allows it to create "control areas" for genetically engineered crops to deal with pests and disease. But it can create such areas only for GE crops that are in the trial phase.
Officials say once a GE crop is "deregulated" by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it is deemed not to be a carrier of pests or disease — and the state loses authority over the crop.
In October, Kitzhaber directed the state Agriculture Department to use its authority to deal with conflicts between GE and non-GE crops, including by creating a statewide mapping system for GMO field locations, establishing buffer zones and exclusion areas.
But the department's letter to Kitzhaber shows its authority for dealing with GE issues is limited.
The governor also announced the creation of a task force to study issues related to GMOs, such as mapping and labeling.
The move was spurred by several instances of genetic contamination in the region that rendered non-engineered crops unsellable on the export market. It came after lawmakers adopted a bill to ban county governments from regulating GMOs on their own.
Jackson County was exempted from the law because a measure already had qualified for the ballot. Residents in that county voted to ban genetically engineered crops in May.
State regulators say Oregon law does not require farmers to submit cropping information to the state Department of Agriculture, making the mapping of genetically engineered crops impossible. The state receives notification of proposed GMO field trials from the USDA — but such notifications often don't include the county where the trials are taking place, and never include the specific locations of fields.
More than a decade ago, the state established one control area for genetically engineered bentgrass in central Oregon, requiring buffer zones and other measures. The GE bentgrass was grown as part of field trials, meaning it wasn't yet deemed safe for commercial cultivation.
Oregon regulators say they can provide input and monitor trials of GE crops designed to produce vaccines, drugs, enzymes or other medicinal compounds — so-called biopharmaceuticals. But to date, the state hasn't received notification of any biopharmaceutical crop trials in Oregon.
Oregon regulators say the legislature could grant them the option to map GMOs or otherwise regulate genetically engineered crops. The governor has said he could introduce new GMO-related legislation in the 2015 session.
And Oregonians could soon have a say on GMO labeling: Proponents of a ballot measure to require the labeling say they have submitted enough signatures to qualify the measure for a statewide vote in November.

Crusader golfers edge St. Marys Dutchmen in close match
ST. MARYS – In a case of cross-town rivalry at its best, the Elk County Catholic Crusader golf team edged the squad from St. Marys Area High School 224-225 in a close match played at the Bavarian Hills Golf Course on Thursday afternoon. "It was as good of a match as we could have asked for," said St. Marys Area head coach Dan Vollmer. "Unfortunately for the Dutch, one of the players added incorrectly and had to take a higher score than they shot." Eight players from each school participated in the match; however, only the top five scores from each team counted for their total.Elk Catholic's Bruno Cavalline was the medalist for the day with a five-over-par round of 41. Top scorers for the Dutchmen were Owen Schreiber and Rudy Gleixner with 44s. For Elk Catholic, Brandon Schlimm finished the day with a 45, followed by Elliott Struble, Jess Jaynes and Mitchell Struble, all with 46s. Other Crusader scores were Alan Brennen with a 46, Drew Meyer with a 47 and Scott Reichard with a 59. For St. Marys Area, Philip Danz shot a 45, followed by Dillon Gallagher and Bob Watts with 46s. Other Dutchmen scores were Justin Beimel with a 47, Quinn Cunningham with a 48 and Sam Miller with a 51. The Dutchmen will return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Johnsonburg for a 3:30 p.m. match. The Crusaders will play host to Ridgway on Thursday, also in a 3:30 p.m. match.

BOSTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama, fighting to protect his party's margin of control in the U.S. Senate, urged Massachusetts voters on Wednesday to back fellow Democrat Edward Markey in a June 25 special election that could gauge Americans' views of controversies vexing Obama's administration.
With a Republican victory in a 2010 Senate special election still fresh on the minds of Democrats in a state that usually favors them, Obama spoke at a rally in Boston and with patrons at a locally famous sandwich shop to try to boost Markey's bid.
Polls show the lead held by Markey, a veteran U.S. congressman, over Republican challenger Gabriel Gomez is narrowing ahead of the election for the Senate seat vacated when Obama picked John Kerry, a Democrat, as his secretary of state.
"This election's going to come down to turnout," Obama told hundreds of Democrats at a rally at Roxbury Community College.
"We've got a whole lot of Democrats in this state and a whole lot of Obama voters. But you can't just turn out during a presidential election," Obama said.
"You can't just pat your back and say, 'Well, I knocked on some doors back in November.' I need you knocking on some doors right now, in June," Obama added.
Before his speech, Obama ordered a burger and fries at Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe, a tiny South End eatery, and urged patrons to support Markey.
"This guy has been fighting for Massachusetts for a very long time," Obama said with his hand on Markey's shoulder as patrons crowded around him. "It seems like there's an election every other week, but this one's important."
A liberal Democrat, Markey has represented the Democratic-leaning state in the House of Representative since 1976 and has won re-election by large margins.
The result of the election could indicate the extent of the political damage to Obama and the Democrats from a string of recent controversies. They include: the IRS targeting of conservative groups for special scrutiny; the Justice Department seizure of Associated Press phone records; disclosures about the attack last year on a U.S. compound in Libya; and revelations of sweeping surveillance programs by the U.S. government.
Obama steered clear of those matters during his speech, instead touting his victories on healthcare and financial services reform, and explaining he needed more Democrats like Markey in Congress to support his efforts on issues like gun control.
"He's not somebody who comes out of nowhere," Obama said, taking a swipe at Gomez, a former private equity executive and former Navy SEAL who has sought to make Markey's long tenure in Congress a liability.
A Suffolk University poll on Monday showed Markey holding a 48 percent to 41 percent lead over Gomez, down from a 52 percent to 40 percent margin the previous week.
Obama remains popular nationally, but the controversies are weighing on his approval ratings, Suffolk University Political Research Center Director David Paleologos said.
Republicans are fighting hard to gain the seat in the 100-member Senate, currently controlled by a majority 52 Democrats and two independents who caucus with them. Republicans have sought to block many of Obama's major legislative initiatives.
First lady Michelle Obama campaigned for Markey in the state last month. The Boston Globe reported that former President Bill Clinton would visit this weekend.
Democrats want to avoid a repeat of the upset victory in Massachusetts by Republican Scott Brown over state Attorney General Martha Coakley in 2010 in the special election for the seat left open after the death of long-time U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy. Coakley was faulted for running a lackluster campaign and failing to counter the everyman appeal of Brown.
Vice President Joe Biden and former Vice President Al Gore spoke at a Markey fundraiser in the state on Tuesday.
"Barack Obama's not at the head of the ticket. And that means those legions of African-Americans and Latinos are not automatically going to come out," Biden said. "So don't take this one for granted."

Just days after arriving home from a very unique motorcycling adventure, creator of Miles By Motorcycle, Bob's good friend and long time customer, Yermo Lamers stopped by grinning ear to ear to fill us in on the details of the exciting trip he had just returned home from.
By mere coincidence, Yermo found himself joining an industry invite-only ride that had been in the planning for the past 3 years and that will forever be noted in motorcycling history, Cannonball's Trail Centennial Ride.
While we could pass along the stories shared with us via this newsletter and drop names of all the motorcycling legends he rode with, it would be a disservice to both you and Yermo, which is why we invited Yermo to host a Saturday session at Bob's BMW so you can personally hear all about the adventure straight from the horse's mouth.
So mark your calendars to join us on July 26 at 11am. Yermo will be at Bob's sharing:

This explanation about Raymond Davis's immunity issue was shared on the Peoples Resistance Mailing list by Shalahudin Ahmed, a lawyer from Karachi. He shares with us an unbiased, no BS [sic] analysis of the issue at hand – TM
Pakistan is a signatory to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The substance of both Conventions are part of Pakistani law through the Diplomatic & Consular Privileges Act 1972.
Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, a diplomatic agent cannot be arrested or detained. Period. No exceptions. The same for members of the technical and administrative staff of a diplomatic mission.
Many other countries in the world have adopted this convention and usually hold to the same. Whether an ethical consideration or no, such a convention is also to protect the lives and property of each nation's own diplomats.
Thus, if Pakistan was to prosecute a U.S. diplomat rightly accused of murder in Islamabad – what would stop the U.S. from bringing trumped-up terrorism charges against a Pakistani diplomat in Washington? The whole diplomatic system would be jeopardized.
Perhaps, the closest a country has been to ignoring the Convention was when someone fired a machine-gun from the Libyan embassy in London upon a crowd of protesters outside and killed an unarmed British police-woman as a result. The UK police laid siege to the embassy for more than a week (in itself a violation of the Convention). The British police were not allowed to enter the embassy and/or to waive diplomatic immunity for the Libyan embassy staff. The Libyan police were ordered to besiege the British Embassy in Tripoli. Eventually, the UK broke off diplomatic relations with Libya but the embassy staff was nevertheless allowed to return to Libya unhindered.
Pakistan could thus become an international pariah with such willfully violating of this Convention as to confer immunity upon such diplomats. A first step might be that all NATO countries (and other countries under US influence) would then withdraw their diplomatic missions from Pakistan citing 'risks to personnel'.

28 September 2007 9:04 am (c | embedded)
During the last two years I have had the opportunity to write embedded software for the SPARC ERC32 architecture. The first piece of software we have written is an application that needs to fit in a 64 Kbytes PROM with a minimal running system that can execute periodic tasks, send packets over a network, load another application stored in an EEPROM that can be remotely patched and many other things. Before starting to write it from scratch we tried to fit RTEMS (a Real-Time Operating System) in the 64 Kbytes. We achieved a running RTEMS in 55 Kbytes, but there was only 10 Kbytes left (note that modern versions of RTEMS are smaller).
The following tips are the ones I have found useful to decrease my application size (they might not work in all architectures). Note that all the tips are C oriented and that gcc has been used.
I would really appreciate if you can share your tricks and I will be glad to include them in the list.
Compress application code
As the application is stored in a PROM, you will normally have a minimal code to perform some initializations and checks (e.g. RAM tests), and the rest of the code for the application itself. The main application will run from RAM, so you could compress the application using a simple compression algorithm such as LZSS, uncompress the application to RAM and run it. The decompression algorithm will be obviously uncompressed.
If you are working with an ERC32 processor check the mkprom-erc32 tool.
Use inline functions judiciously
As it is well-known, performance issues should not be treated while developing. So, writing a lot of inline functions might not have great performance effects, but could have big size penalties if you don't use them judiciously.
Compiler optimization flags
If performance is not important in your application (i.e. you have no hard real-time requirement), you can use the size optimization options provided by your compiler. For example, in gcc, you can use the -Os option to decrease the executable size. We reduced 5 Kbytes.
Note, that this will avoid inline functions optimization, but you can still tell gcc to include them passing the -finline-functions option.
Split functions into separate files
If you are developing different applications that might share most of the code, you may think on writing an static library. The point is that having a reusable library might affect the executable size. This is because, probably, not all the functions compiled will be used in all the applications. When gcc compiles a source file, all the functions in it will be linked in the final binary even if your code does not use them. Of course, if non of the functions of the source file is being used, they will not be linked. Splitting functions into separate files might solve the problem.
There is one way to avoid this (I haven't tried it) with gcc using the -ffunction-sections option. This creates a separate section for every function. The linker can then use the --gc-sections option to discard unused sections.
Separate debug and release code
While writing embedded software you may need to have debug and release code. Clear examples are the printing or logging functions that might not be necessary in production code. If this is the case, separate the debug and release code. In C, you could have a serial port printing function in debug and an empty macro in release. This can be achieved via a building system, separating the definitions in different files (which I recommend), or using macros.
Do not use packed structures extensibly
By definition, packed structures are not aligned, this means that, depending on the architecture, the compiler needs to generate extra code to get members of structures. So, using packed structures extensibly may increase your application size and may decrease the performance.
Another reason for not using packed structures is portability.
Enumerations vs. constant objects
As described in this article, constant objects, such as:
unsigned int const ITEM_ID = 0x01200020;
may increase your application size. So, if you really have a few bytes left, you might be interested in changing the definition by using an enumeration:
enum { ITEM_ID = 0x01200020 };

All Salisbury Symphony Orchestra concerts are held in Holloway Hall Auditorium on the Salisbury University campus, unless noted otherwise.
Holloway Hall, 1101 Camden Avenue, is located at the corner of Camden and W. College avenues.
Convenient parking is usually available in the Camden Parking Lot F (behind Blackwell Library)and Scarborough Student Leadership Center lots off Camden Avenue. Overflow parking is available in the Commons lot off Camden Avenue. For more details, please see the Parking Map.
* * *
Concerts and events normally take place in Holloway Hall Auditorium. Convenient parking is usually available in the Blackwell Library and Scarborough Leadership Center lots off Camden Avenue. Overflow parking is available in the Commons lot off Camden Avenue (see numbered orange boxes in maps below).
Note: Please feel free to drop off fellow concert-goers at the Blackwell Library lot (1) where vehicles can easily circle around.
Holloway Hall is the first structure built on campus and currently serves primarily as the administrative office building of the University.
Planned in 1922, the auditorium in Holloway Hall was designed with a gymnasium opening into the rear of the stage. It was so arranged that doors between the auditorium and gymnasium could have been opened, making one large stage which can be used for athletic exhibition, large chorus work, etc. The back of the balcony had a motion picture projection booth. Unfortunately, the construction of the auditorium-gymnasium was deferred until the General Assembly of 1927 provided the necessary funds.
Opened in the fall of 1928, the auditorium was used for college assembly periods and productions by the Sophanes Players, a student dramatic group. The Community Concert Association and similar local groups presented programs of a cultural nature in the auditorium, the largest of its kind in this area. On October 19, 1928, the auditorium was first used by the Wicomico County Parent Teachers' Association on Friday, October 19th. The Glee Club performed "The Dragon of Wu Foo" on February 8, 1929 and on February 29, 1932, a pageant celebrating the George Washington Bi-centennial was held in the auditorium.
The Holloway Auditorium, located just inside the main entrance of Holloway Hall and up the marble stairs adorned with massive pillars, is now a modern 687-seat auditorium. Major renovations occurred in the fall of 2013 within the auditorium and they include: a new state of the art sound system using cutting edge technology; an all new lighting system utilizing LED fixtures; a new video projection system, new seating and a wheelchair lift to the stage.
