The sign on Mathis Ferry says "Scenic Highway" but regular tree butchering and development have adversely transformed this historic roadway.
Instead of planting live oaks along this roadway which in time will be massacred to protect utility lines, plant decorative trees – oleander and crepe myrtles. Place azaleas in the buffer area similar to what was done in front of Queens Row near Anna Knapp.
In 20 years we could have a thoroughfare that rivals Summerville's park area.

During the pre-personal computer age of the mid-1980s, I was asked to serve as Foreign Student Advisor at a college in South Carolina. The position carried the authority to issue U.S. I-20 Student Visa Forms based on a pre-deposit of $10,000 (US) via check, a certified high school transcript verifying completion of studies with a grade average of "C" or better, and a completed standard admissions form.
I was under a penalty of $10,000 or 10 years in jail or both should I commit fraud.
One day, I received a visit from the FBI and Bell South Security. Both agents were investigating phone credit card fraud amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars thought to emanate from some of my international students representing 40 different countries.
Upon thorough investigation, we were amazed to learn the problem was not with just a few but virtually all of my students and linked to every college in South Carolina, spilling over into neighboring states.But, the plot thickened.
The problem was traceable to two of my Middle Eastern students who used the phone system to post restricted numbers ranging from U.S. national security organizations to the White House on what the agents called a "blackboard" accessible through the phone system.
The two could not be charged, however, since they had diplomatic immunity.
I was not privy to the source of their immunity.
Later, a church and a board member requested that the college house a Mariel Boat Lift refugee who spoke no English.
I was against the idea since he did not qualify as a prospective college student, but the college approved his stay in a dorm room. A pastor found a job for him where everyone spoke Spanish.
One day the office manager gave him keys to her new Honda Accord asking him to pick up lunch for the crew. Instead, he headed straight for the college, kicked in an almost solid wood door, collected his belongings and left.
The car was found abandoned in Miami at an airport with numerous cigarette burns on the seats and empty beer cans on the floor.
He melted into the population never to be seen again. The office manager could not claim theft since she willingly gave him her keys.

Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Board Appointed
Release No. 054-14
Hakim Fobia (202) 690-0488
WASHINGTON, March 10, 2014 -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has appointed 12 members to serve on the first national Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Board. Members will serve two, three, or four-year terms of office.
I am confident that these experts will serve the paper and paper-based packaging industry well, Vilsack said. This new program will make a positive impact in communities all over the country.
The 12-member board consists of 11 manufacturers -- including 10 members from four regions and one at-large member from any region -- and one importer. From the four regions, six members are from the South, one member is from the Northeast, two members are from the Midwest, and one member is from the West. The at-large manufacturer member, who may be from any region, is from the South.
Appointed Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Board Members, by region are:
South region - John D. Williams, Fort Mill, S.C.; Michael P. Doss, Atlanta, Ga.; Ann Wrobleski, Memphis, Tenn.; Mark W. Kowlzan, Lake Forest, Ill.; Steven C. Voorhees, Norcross, Ga.; and Rodger D. Fuller, Hartsville, S.C.
Northeast region - Jennifer L. Miller, Boston, Mass.
Midwest region - Brian E. Janki, York, Pa.; and Michael A. Weinhold, Memphis, Tenn.
West Region - Christian Fischer, Atlanta, Ga.
At-Large position - Julie Schertell, Alpharetta, Ga.
Importer - Bernd Eikens, Augsburg, Germany.
The first Paper and Paper-Based Packaging Board meeting is scheduled for March 25, 2014, 2:30 - 6:00 p.m., at the New York Palace Hotel in New York City. Contact Kimberly C. Spriggs by phone at (202) 720-9915, toll free at (888) 720-9917, or e-mail
for additional meeting information.
The USDA encourages board membership that reflects the diversity of the individuals served by the research and promotion program. All eligible women, minorities, veterans and persons with disabilities are encouraged to seek nomination for a seat on the board.
Research and Promotion Programs are industry-funded, were authorized by Congress, and date back to 1966. Since then, Congress has authorized the establishment of 21 research and promotion boards. They empower agricultural industries, including the forest products industry, by establishing a framework for them to pool resources and combine efforts to develop new markets, strengthen existing markets, and conduct important research and promotion activities. AMS provides oversight, helping to ensure fiscal responsibility, program efficiency and fair treatment of participating stakeholders.

Parents Lead By Example in Carnage
By Paul Friswold
1. Loretta Lynn, Van Lear Rose (Interscope). Who woulda thunk that the Coal Miners Daughter and Jack White and his bag of Zep riffs would go together this well? Lynns storytelling panache and vocal chords are in fine fettle, White and his band of Midwestern garage-rockers are out for blood, and Van Lear Rose is one kickass album of Appalachian acid rock, a stone-cold classic for hipsters and hillbillies alike. Theres Sun-style boogie (Have Mercy), hell-hath-no-fury revenge tales (Mrs. Leroy Brown, Family Tree), foot-stomping hollers (High on a Mountain Top) and the alternately psychedelic and pummeling White-Lynn duet Portland, Oregon, which was easily the single of the year. Of course, country radio saw it differently: The album got almost no airplay outside of adult-alternative and college-rock stations. Which is sad, cause its one of the greatest ever to come out of Nashville.
2. Drive By Truckers, The Dirty South (New West). Poetic tales of small-time coke dealers, reluctant warriors, desperate moonshiners, redneck sheriffs and cancer-stricken towns, all set to menacing boogie beats and 100-proof three-guitar throb. Doesnt get much better than that. Throw The Dirty South in with Southern Rock Opera and Decoration Day, and you have one of the great three-album runs in rock history, a stretch equal to the Stones Beggars Banquet/Let It Bleed/Sticky Fingers era or the Beatles Rubber Soul/Revolver/Sgt. Peppers period.
3. Sam Phillips, A Boot and a Shoe (Nonesuch). Dry as a sidewinders rattle twitching over desert sands, Phillipss haunting neo-cabaret pop is spare, elegant and intelligent. Though shes deliberately shorn away most of her Beatles-esque borrowings, she cant quite shake her knack for crafting the kind of gorgeous melodies that give you goose bumps even when you hum them. The sumptuous tunes -- centered around Phillipss Marianne-Faithfull-like voice -- are set to minimalist guitars, super-crisp drums and, as on the swellingly superb Reflecting Light, the occasional string quartet.
4. Los Lobos, The Ride (Hollywood). Affairs as studded with guest shots as this one normally have label calculation written all over them. (See Santana, Carlos.) But Los Lobos has never been a normal band. Here the boys invite in some of the people whove influenced them, others whom theyve influenced, and a few like-minded contemporaries, coming up with their strongest start-to-finish set since Kiko. Highlights include Dave Alvins dusty cover of Somewhere in Time; the joyous gutter fiesta of Kitate with Tom Waits and Martha Gonzales of Quetzal; the ass-shaking Cafe Tacuba collabo La Venganza de los Pelados; and soul-drenched remakes of two 1980s Lobos classics -- Someday with Mavis Staples and Wicked Rain with Bobby Womack, to which Womack appends his L.A. funk classic Across 110th Street. Take it to the bank: Los Lobos is the greatest rock band of the past twenty years, and decades from now, rock historians will still be digging their records and wondering why contemporaries U2 moved so much more product.
5. Various Artists, Black Power: Music of a Revolution (Shout!). Black people have always been better at embedding messages in their music than whites, and this double-disc compilation of Nixon-era African-American anthems is proof positive that shaking your ass and using your brain are not mutually exclusive propositions. Who needs the leaden, hectoring screeds of Country Joe and the Fish, Phil Ochs or even Rage Against the Machine when you can get much the same messages -- coated in soul and dripping with funk -- from Gil Scott-Herons The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Les McCann and Eddie Harriss Compared to What, the Staple Singers Respect Yourself or the Isley Brothers Fight the Power?
6. Jolie Holland, Escondida (Anti). A bellwether of the San Francisco neo-freak/folk movement, Holland is more accessible than the likes of Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom and offers a more varied approach, ranging from ancient British folk (Mad Tom of Bedlam) to Southern gospel (Faded Coat of Blue) to torch songs (Sascha) to the Poor Girls Blues. Hollands caramel singing is alternately reminiscent of Lucinda Williams, Ricki Lee Jones and Gillian Welch, and the melancholy Escondida is an all-time great rainy-day record.

Sidney Crosby Gossip
Sidney Crosby gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
(Jacek: It was quite a day today. Thanks for your patience. We think we found the problem so tomorrow should be back to normal. If anything ever happens, however, go to Lainey's Twitter for updates as many of you did. Thanks again.)
Thanks for your emails requesting a review of the Twilight movie. I've not actually seen it yet. Was in Toronto for 24 hours Sunday to Monday, felt like a bag of sh-t coming off the plane yesterday in Vancouver and then my friend Darren reminded me of it when he sent over a text that read, "I can't believe we haven't seen Breaking Dawn together. I miss your critiques of the really seminal movies".
And the world was right again.
This is why I worry about the celebrities who don't have friends, Katherine Heigl.
So, yeah, I guess Sidney Crosby wasn't rusty or anything. Read Full Intro
Hockey in Cannes
Several of you have made requests for this – Sidney Crosby, Jordan Staal, Max Talbot, and Paul Martin of the Pittsburgh Penguins were in Cannes the other day at a party for the short film Trophy Wife starring Jamie Lynn Sigler. Random, right? Conference Finals or the Croisette? I guess partying on a yacht takes the sting away. Full Story

The South Carolina Historical Society announces its annual fall tour through the Cooper River Historic District. On Sunday, Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., members of the Historical Society will enjoy exploring beautiful plantations, churches and ruins and lunching in the peaceful gardens of Mepkin Abbey.
Tickets are $65 per person. This price includes access to all of the sites and catered lunch at Mepkin Abbey from noon to 3 p.m. Purchase tickets at www.southcarolinahistoricalsociety.org.
Cooper River Ramblings, this self-guided tour, will focus on the fertile region around the meeting of the east and west branches of the Cooper River.
The region was home to some of the oldest settlements and industry in South Carolina and, in the eighteenth century, thrived as a center of rice cultivation and saw the emergence of some of South Carolina's grandest plantations.
Many of these plantations were acquired in the nineteenth century by northerners seeking warmer climates and the historic properties largely remained preserved today.
Stops on the tour include Middleburg Plantation, Mulberry Plantation, Mepkin Abbey, Cedar Hill Plantation, Cainhoy Plantation, the Sir John Nesbitt House, the Comingtree Plantation ruins, Taveau Memorial Church and Cemetery and more.
Currently in its 158th year of collecting, preserving and publishing the history of the Palmetto State, the South Carolina Historical Society, headquartered at the Robert Mills Fireproof Building in Charleston, is the state's oldest historical society and one of its largest private manuscript archives. Since its founding in 1855, the society has been the guardian of South Carolina's written past, and without its safekeeping, countless vital historic documents would have been lost.
For more than 100 years, the society has published a quarterly scholarly journal, the South Carolina Historical Magazine. During that time, more than 1,500 articles regarding the history of our state and the genealogy of its residents have appeared within the pages of the Historical Magazine. The society also publishes a newsletter, Carologue, which is sent out quarterly to its more than 3,400 members.

This will be our final newsletter until August; however, staff will be available throughout the summer to answer questions. Please be sure to note that classes will begin before Labor Day next fall (for 2015 only).
For those parents who have been with us the past four years, congratulations on your student's graduation. A special thanks to everyone for all your questions and calls throughout the year. For our new parents who have made their way to this listing - Welcome! We look forward to hearing from you during the summer and meeting you in the fall.
In last month's newsletter we reported that students who are not graduating should plan to move-out of their campus residence within 24 hours of their last exam (exam week is May 13-19) or by 12:00pm on Wednesday, May 20, whichever comes first. As many students underestimate the time it will take to clear out their rooms, you may want to encourage your student to begin packing their belongings at least a few days in advance of moving out. NYU does not provide storage, however a listing of commonly used storage options is available by clicking here.
Note: If you are driving into the city, please be aware that unlike August Move-In Day, there is no reserved parking. You must observe all parking and standing regulations to avoid getting a ticket! Please read the signs carefully before parking. As always, we advise not leaving your car unattended as well.
The official exam period is May 13-19 (although School of Engineering students began on May 8). Scheduling occurs by class meeting time, however, some professors may hold exams during regular class hours or require a final paper or take- home exam. Final grades will be posted to a student's Albert account, the online student information system, within 24 hours from which they are received from professors.
We want to make sure that students start the day off right with a healthy breakfast. The Health Promotion Office is running their popular Fuel Your Finals program through May 19 (weekdays). All NYU students are invited for a free breakfast of Kashi cereal, organic oatmeal, fresh fruit and more, and to pick up a tote bag of study essentials.
The Student Health Center has compiled a list of commonly asked questions for students needing access to healthcare during the summer. This is especially important for students who are graduating or transitioning their healthcare. Click here for more information on summer hours, available services, student health insurance, and more.
By now, seniors should have reserved event tickets, ordered academic attire, and scheduled to have their portrait taken (if interested). The Commencement webpage, www.nyu.edu/commencement, has information on those topics as well as the Yankee Stadium ceremony, Grad Ally, and area hotels.
Graduating students should also make plans for other important tasks that can be easily overlooked during this busy time such as returning library books and closing Campus Cash accounts. Additional reminders include:
For parents, we know—this isn't any ordinary trip to New York. You're here for the Big Day. For the cap and gown (at last). For as many posed family portraits as your brand new NYU graduate, decked out in Violet, will endure. If you're looking for more to do while you're visiting NYC, take a look at our "Family Guide".
For students staying in New York this summer, NYU's Phonathon still has openings! Student fundraisers are provided opportunities to build relationships with NYU alumni and parents, raise funds to support scholarships, research, and our amazing faculty. The Phonathon is a great place to strengthen communication and negotiation skills and get real life work experience. With a flexible schedule, competitive pay, and extra incentives, the NYU Phonathon is the perfect job for your student! For more information and to access the online application, please visit nyu.thecallingcenter.com.
As we graduate one class, we welcome a new one. Congratulations and welcome to parents of our newest class of freshmen and transfers. We invite you to visit our Next Stop NYU webpages to help you plan for arrival in August. Go to www.nyu.edu/nextstop for communications, dates and deadlines throughout the summer.
NYU's Office of Undergraduate Admissions has partnered with a number of hotels to offer our guests year-round special, discounted rates for their stay while visiting New York City. To view the list and make reservations, click here.
For parents of returning students (Sophomore to Senior), the most common question we receive is "when can students move back into the residence halls?" For next Fall, residence halls open on Sunday, August 30, 2015. Unlike the freshman year, students are not assigned a move-in time.
NOTE that classes will begin before the Labor Day Weekend next year, Wednesday, September 2, 2015. For additional dates for next academic year, visit www.nyu.edu/studentlink.
Each year we communicate to students about preparedness during inclement weather, campus emergencies, or other important safety information, both in New York and our away sites. We ask that you help us reinforce this information with your student. Visit www.nyu.edu/besafe to review safety and preparedness at NYU and note the important offices below.

For both emergency and non-emergency situations, assistance is available through the Department of Public Safety Command Center, 24 hours, seven days a week. Be sure to add 212.998.2222 to your contact list.
Also note that the Wellness Exchange has professional counselors available 24/7 to assist students who are in crisis or just need to talk. Counselors are also a great resource for parents if you need some advice on helping your student. Call 212-443-9999.
Both numbers are located on the back of all student ID cards.

7 Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitutes to Try in Your Favorite Christmas Recipes
7 Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitutes to Try in Your Favorite Christmas Recipes
We refuse to believe that holiday cooking can't be healthy—and so does Amie Valpone, Manhattan-based culinary nutritionist and personal chef. She gave us genius ingredient swaps for making common holiday recipes healthier.SEE MORE
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Coconut Milk for Heavy CreamClassic holiday soups like pumpkin stews and crab bisques often call for non-diet-friendly heavy cream. By substituting coconut milk cup for cup, you'll get the same creamy taste and texture for about half the calories—and no, the coconut taste won't dominate the soup, we promise!
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Cacao Nibs for Chocolate ChipsThese antioxidant-rich bits are unprocessed parts of cocoa beans used to make chocolate. Sub them in one to one where recipes call for chocolate chips to cut out additives such as sugar and dairy—you won't notice any sweetness missing.
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Meringue for FrostingDo you really want to dump that entire box of confectioners' sugar into your mixer? DIY a fat-free meringue instead by combining two egg whites and four tablespoons of sugar in a high-speed blender and—voilà—icing with less guilt.
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Sliced Tomatoes for Jarred Marina SauceChances are that jar of store-bought tomato sauce has lots of added sugar lurking inside. If you're cooking a big lasagna feast for the holiday table, consider tossing in freshly sliced tomatoes for a fresher, healthier, and more eye-catching meal that's packed with antioxidants.
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Vanilla Extract for White SugarFamous for your crisps, cobblers, and pies? You can skip white sugar altogether in your recipes by using vanilla extract, which is tasty and adds more flavor than sugar with fewer calories. Rule of thumb: Use two tablespoons of vanilla extract for every cup of sugar. This works in poached fruit recipes too.
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Unsweetened Applesauce for OilReduce the amount of oil on the holiday table with applesauce. The fat-free puree can be used cup for cup in breads, muffins, and even boxed mixes for brownies and cakes.
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Nutritional Yeast for CheeseDon't let the name put you off: Nutritional yeast flakes have a nutty, cheeselike flavor that can be used on everything from mashed potatoes to roasted vegetables. And they can be combined with warm water and sea salt to make a vegan nacho cheese. At only 45 calories for a quarter cup, they're worth a try—you can even mix with cheese to cut the calories if you can't sacrifice all the real stuff.
Healthy Holiday Cooking Substitute: Nut Flours for White FlourIf you're feeling daring, try a true recipe switch instead of an ingredient swap by using recipes that call for nut flours such as almond or chestnut instead of white flour. Nut flours are higher in fiber and protein than white flour, they're gluten-free, and they even contain heart-healthy omega-3s. A caveat: Nut flours don't rise like regular flour and can't be swapped cup for cup, so it's important to find a recipe that calls for the specific flour you're using.

They start chewing on the twigs in the morning and by afternoon they're really agitated and looking for trouble, usually popping off their AK's or whacking each other with machettes.
That's one of the problems with the Blackhawk Down deal. It occurred when the A-wipes were at the height of their agitated state. Don't know about the 44 mag angle but people that are A-wipes by disposition plus whacked out do not respond to pain stimulus like "normal" people.
Last night I was watching one of those police video shows. A very enraged and stocky build guy with a shotgun took a hit in the shoulder from a 308 at 110 yards. The bullet glanced off the shotgun barrel and obviously hit him in the right shoulder. The guy fell down but bounced right back up. He surrendered a day later.
When people are psyched out and/or full of adrenaline all bets are off.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Okay, James kinda started it off but I've decided to let scripture speak for itself and let everyone decide what it meansJeremiah 10:23 - "Lord, I know that none of us are in charge of our own destiny; none of us have control over our own life."
Great starter John. Maybe you summed it up perfectly and nobody has anything left to say. Or another thought - ssshhhh...maybe nobody will notice it.
The point being, our circumstances are shaped to direct our will. Many of us have had a "salvation experience" but for most of us, it was a set of circumstances that brought us to Christ and we probably would not have responded under any other set of circumstances. So, IMO free will is an illusion.
An analogy:I used to teach Biology. It was a required course. Students had the free will to not take the course, they simply wouldn't graduate.As the rabbi(teacher of the class) I was responsible for every question on every test. The students had no choice or free will on what questions they were asked. There were multiple answers (A,B,C,D,E) and the student had the FREE WILL to choose which answer was most correct. Students felt they had free will but from taking the class to the selection of one of five answers was a guide. (TOTAL free will, they may have taken the day off to go fishing. So our "free will" is an illusion as our decisions are shaped by the foreseeable consequences of our choices)From this answer it goes back to what Shawn said in the sense that every choice we make is based on choices we have made before (even NO CHOICE is a choice) and it ultimately goes back to where we live, our parents, genes passed down, peer influence, etc. all which happened for a reason until the ultimate influence when God started all of creation and saw the end from the beginning.
I have this notion that in molecular science ,atoms, protons that sort of thing.That from the foundations of the earth every molecule that exists is where it is ordained to be at given point in time.(please let me know if I should put IMO in front of objective statements)We have no freewill to effect these molecules,only the ability to observe these, actions or reactions of molecules.Once these molecules are observed . We have one hundred percent free will to try to discover there purpose.
We have free will to search with expectations to find the purpose of God.Gods purpose is his will. We can find his will and say I have discovered the will of God.God can show me his will and I can say that I have discovered the will of God.
As I freely explore the purpose of God I understand he shows me more.As he shows me more I understand that he has no Purpose for eternal torment.
Everything was given to us by God...including this breath I now take. With that said, the problem with saying every step we take comes by the direction of God places blame of our sin on God. If I commit adultery...God made me do it? There must be a semblance of will associated with our spiritual educations.

Although five of her students are old enough to vote on Nov. 6, everyone in Mrs. Brandi Cochran-Mitchell's third-block government class received the opportunity to put their citizenship to work on Oct. 24 in a mock election.
Through a program called Youth Leadership Initiative offered by the University of Virginia, students throughout the nation have the chance to vote for candidates in a variety of races. In Mrs. Cochran-Mitchell's class, Carroll students voted for their choices in the presidential, U.S. Senate and District 9 House of Representatives races.
"I think this is the first time we've had a mock presidential election, but they have done mock Gubernatorial elections and we've done one for Congress," she said. "It's a free program and you can customize your own elections for local races such as school board and mayor."
Students in Shawn Montgomery's government classes also participated in mock elections. Prior to voting, students in Cochran-Mitchell's class used a scoring system to rate candidates on a variety of aspects and issues.
"Now we are going to vote," she told the class. "It is voluntary, just like a real election. You don't have to vote, but you should. This program is done through UVa and nationwide, so you will have a chance to see how people in your age group voted."
Prior to voting, students were asked if they considered themselves to be a democrat, republican, independent or other party. The results were surprising with 13 students claiming to be independent, 10 republican, four democrats and one libertarian.
Senior Tyler Campbell was one of the four democrats. He said he would be casting a mock vote for Barack Obama for president.
"He's not the best choice, but for the candidates we have, he is the best there is," said Campbell.
Campbell said he's watched the presidential debates mostly on his own time, although Mitchell-Cochran's class watched most of the second debate in class together. He said he formed his political opinions through his own research from a variety of sources.
"I've tried to stay away from big-name news organizations like NBC and CBS because more times than not they are pretty biased," Campbell said.
Senior Gage Hansen considers himself to be a republican and said he would vote that way most times. He planned to cast a vote for Mitt Romney in the mock presidential election.
"Mitt keeps talking about how much he will support small business and I've always wanted to have my own business," Hansen said. "I just favor Romney more than Obama."
Hansen said he doesn't watch much television, but has seen many political ads in the mail this campaign period. He said he doesn't pay much attention to political posts on facebook, either.
"I just listen to what people have to say about it and more often than not I agree with what people say about Romney," Hansen said.
Even up until time to cast his vote in the mock election, senior Luke Luciano said he still hadn't decided which candidate he'd vote for in the presidential race.
"I will flip a coin in a minute," Luciano said. "Both of them have good ideas, I just haven't paid a lot of attention. Neither has done anything to stand out in my mind. I did notice Romney trying to agree with what people wanted instead of sticking to his own plans. He seemed to flip back and forth."
Carroll County Registrar Kimberly Cloud recently visited Carroll County High School to register students to vote who will turn 18 by Nov. 6. She was happy with the turnout, said CCHS Assistant Principal Adam Joyce. But Joyce did have stern words of advice for students in Mrs. Cochran-Mitchell's class after he learned that of the five students who were 18 in the class, only one was actually registered to vote.
"Think about the servicemen and women who fought and died so you can vote for your own government," Joyce said. "Even if you aren't old enough to vote in this election, you can vote in municipal elections in May and state elections next fall. I would strongly encourage you to do so."

A number of different factors, including longer life spans and the obesity epidemic, have also led to a much higher incidence of people with multiple health conditions. While our health challenges as a population have become more complex, our desire to live full, rewarding lives has remained unchanged.

Snow brings holiday ski boost for NortheastBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | February 17,2013MONTPELIER The record storm that dumped 2½ feet of snow on the streets and suburbs of southern New England and New York last week has primed the ski resorts of northern New England for the Presidents Day holiday that could help erase memories of last years dismal season.
In the ski industry, its a truism that the weather event that drives skiers to the mountain, isnt heavy snow on the slopes but snow on city streets and suburban backyards that gets potential customers thinking about heading north, where theyll buy lift tickets, stay in lodges and inns, rent skis and eat in restaurants.
When everything is bare down-country, its hard to persuade people that the skiing is good. Thatll always be the case. Its a psychological thing, said Don Fowler, an avid skier and lawyer in Kingfield, Maine, not far from the Sugarloaf resort.
Intellectually, people might know that theres snow in the mountains when their backyards are bare but theyre not thinking about skiing, he said.
At Vermonts Killington ski resort, lodges and inns near the resort were mostly full for the weekend before Presidents Day on Monday, but rooms were available for the week following, when winter vacation is under way for many school children in parts of southern New England, said Killington spokeswoman Sarah Thorson.
The week of Presidents Day is the single most important holiday time for the industry, providing about 20 percent of the revenue resorts expect to generate. Christmas week and the Martin Luther King holiday follow Presidents Day week as revenue generators. Combined, the three account for about half of the seasons revenue, said Sarah Neith, a spokeswoman for the Vermont Ski Areas Association.
Snows during Christmas week gave way to a January thaw before cold temperatures returned, which made it possible for resorts to make snow. So far the season is on par to match or exceed the record 2010-11 season, Neith said.
The Institute for New Hampshire Studies estimates that about 750,000 out-of-state visitors will spend about $115 million over the nine-day period beginning Saturday.
Tony Vazzano, a meteorologist at North Winds Weather who provides forecasts for 17 northern New England ski areas, said ski area operators are singing a much happier tune this year than last.
Im sure when the numbers come in this is going to be one good season compared even to average, let alone last year, he said. The timing of the weather has just been terrific for them.
Vazzano said the next couple of weeks look good, with some light accumulation and enough cold weather to hold the snow. Its a whole different feel this year, Vazzano said. Theres so much terrain open.
But the optimism isnt universally felt across the region.
Doug Holler, general manager of New Hampshires Dartmouth Skiway, north of Dartmouth College in Hanover, wasnt effusive about the season.
It hasnt been fantastic, but it hasnt been terrible either, Holler said. The snow the blizzard dumped on his area last week was blown away by high winds that shut down lifts last Saturday, he said.
But Ski New Hampshires Karl Stone said ski areas in the Granite State report increased guest visits of between 4 percent and 37 percent over last year.
Were coming into a crucial two-week period and were optimistic, given the winter storm we were just blessed with, Stone said. The forecast looks good.
Business on Hunter Mountain in New Yorks Catskills has rebounded to nearly normal from the relatively snow-free 2011-2012 season, said Trista Chiarulli, the resorts marketing and communications manager.
Its helped that snow has fallen during some of the big holidays, she said, something also possible this weekend as a storm moves up the East Coast.
Weve been doing very well. Its definitely better than last year, Chiarulli said. There was a lot of pent-up excitement.
Arin Ellis of Toronto was spending the week snowboarding at Killington with her husband. They arrived last Sunday, and once weather conditions improved earlier this week so did their fun.
Were having an awesome time, Ellis said.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable... Full StoryTalks for Pacific trade deal stall Full StoryWASHINGTON U.S. Full Story

DURHAM, N.H.-- The University of New Hampshire announced today that Wildcat Sports Properties has added WGIN-AM 930 (Rochester) and WGIP-AM 1540 (Exeter) as flagship stations on the Wildcat Sports Network, joining WGIR-AM 610 (Manchester), which was added last year. All three stations are part of the Clear Channel family, and this change will go into effect at the beginning of the 2009-2010 athletic season.
These three aforementioned stations – along with WUVR-AM 1490 (Lebanon), WNTK-FM 99.7 (New London) and WCNL-AM 1010 (Newport) – will carry the following: all UNH football broadcasts, men's hockey broadcasts, football and men's hockey weekly coaches' shows, a select number of men's basketball, women's basketball and women's hockey broadcasts, as well as "Wildcat Sports Today", a three-minute daily update concerning UNH athletics.
"We've experienced significant growth with our Wildcat Sports Network since Learfield Sports has become our partner, and we know it's been well-received by our fans and alumni," said University of New Hampshire Athletic Director Marty Scarano. "The relationship with Clear Channel Radio already has proven to be tremendously successful, and we're pleased to have everything in place at the start of this new year."
"Having UNH Sports as part of the WGIR Radio Network is a great fit. It is only natural to include WGIR Radio Affiliates WGIN-AM and WGIP-AM in this exciting venture. WGIR, WGIN and WGIP has a long history of serving New Hampshire and this will only enhance that ability," said Joe Graham, Market Manager of Clear Channel Radio in Manchester.
Learfield Sports is the exclusive multimedia rights holder of the University of New Hampshire and manages multimedia rights for 50 collegiate institutions and associations. Learfield Sports also manages the marketing partnerships for the Black Coaches & Administrators (BCA), provides exclusive sports programming to more than 1,000 radio stations throughout the country and is the new title partner for the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup.

http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/0...pecial-messageSpike TV confirmed to MMAjunkie.com that it will run this message on "Ink Master" episodes "multiple times throughout the night in primetime." The block of the tattoo-oriented reality TV show is set to run from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, roughly the same time as UFC 164, which airs on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and on pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
According to Sam Spira, who represents both Randy and Ryan Couture, the message is a show of support for the younger Couture, and one driven by the UFC's decision to prevent him from including the logo of his father's gym, Xtreme Couture, on his shorts or sponsor banner.
"They won't let him put a logo on his shorts that acknowledges where he trains, like every other fighter," said Spira, who stressed that the message was in support of, but not authored by, Ryan Couture.
"This is about Randy and Xtreme Couture MMA," Spira said. "Ryan has nothing to do with this."
At the same time, it seems possible that the UFC, which declined to comment on the matter when contacted by MMAjunkie.com, might fail to see the distinction.
Ryan is the only Couture the UFC employs at the moment, and one who currently is winless in his one UFC appearance. The 31-year-old fighter previously fought for the Strikeforce organization, but he was brought into the UFC fold after Zuffa purchased the promotion and then later absorbed much of its roster.
According to White, he made it clear to Couture that he wanted him in the UFC, but after his father left his role as a commentator with FOX and the UFC in favor of signing a deal with Spike TV, White said he told the fighter, "I want you here if you want to be here, but I need you to understand this: Me and your dad are not good. Me and your dad are never going to be good ever, ever again as long as I walk this f-ing planet."
The UFC president said he also told the younger Couture that his father would never be able to corner him at a UFC event as he had done in his previous bouts a move Randy Couture later deemed "over the line."
"[White] has sons," Couture told MMAjunkie.com in June. "How would he like it if I was in a position to affect his son's lives and careers that way? On one hand, he wants to tell my son he'll treat him like any other fighter, and give him an out if he wants out, but then he turns right around and tells him, 'You won't be able to have your dad corner you.' I've been part of his camp and part of his career since the beginning. He's not treating him like any other fighter. I don't see Greg Jackson being eliminated from Georges St-Pierre's or Jon Jones' corners. He's in the same show I'm in. I think there's a bit of a double-standard going on there."
That sentiment is shared by Spira, who pointed out that trainer Jackson also a coach opposite Couture on Spike TV's "Fight Master" is still featured in UFC broadcasts and present at UFC events. Even World Series of Fighting President Ray Sefo, who cornered Martin Kampmann in Wednesday night's UFC Fight Night 27 headliner, is not banned from UFC events or broadcasts, Spira said.
"To sit there and watch that, and yet at the same time not even be able to put a tiny little logo on [Couture]'s shorts and banner when he's fighting on the Facebook card?" Spira said. "It seems to me they (UFC officials) are the ones who made a decision about what the relationship they want to have with Ryan is."
According to Spira, that's why he and Xtreme Couture decided to use Spike TV's "Ink Master" as a place to express their support for their fighter on the day of his second UFC bout.
Asked if he was concerned about the UFC's reaction to such a move, Spira said, "I think we're reacting to their reaction. We're doing this because they've refused to allow him to acknowledge where he trains. We happen to have another venue that is maybe not accessible to other fighters, so we're going to celebrate that and acknowledge that in another venue. Had they allowed us to, we wouldn't need to."

BAKER — Lily Phillips scored 13 points to lead a trio of Baker girls basketball players in double figures Thursday as the Gators beat Laurel Hill 42-23.
Taylor Martin and Natalie Booker each scored 11 points to join Phillips in double figures for the Gators as they picked up their second win of the season.
"I was real pleased with how we played," Baker coach James Kerrell said. "We did a better job of handling and taking care of the ball. I feel like we did a good job on the boards.
"Laurel Hill has got some really good players. Jhanea (Griffin) is pretty powerful inside and we wanted to contain her a little bit."
The Gators (2-9) were able to contain Griffin, holding her to seven points.
An early basket by Booker and a 3-pointer by Phillips gave the Gators a 5-0 lead at the 5:38 mark in the first quarter.
Griffin scored the first Hobo basket with 4:15 left in the first. The second 3-pointer by Phillips made it 8-2 and Laurel Hill was never closer than four points to the Gators the rest of the way.
Baker led 8-4 at the end of the first quarter, but the Gators were just getting cranked up.
Booker scored on a 3-point play 32 seconds into the second quarter. Martin then caught fire, scoring eight of her 11 points in a span of less than three minutes.
Only a basket by Laurel Hill's Diamond Griffith interrupted Martin's scoring spree.
Ashley Black took over for Baker late in the quarter, scoring all six of her points.
"Taylor Martin had a good shooting game tonight," Kerrell said. "I was pleased with how she played.
"I was pleased with how Lily shot the ball and how well Taylor and Ashley played inside."
The Gators led 25-9 at the half and were well on their way to the win.
The Hoboes (2-12) managed to trim a point off the Gator lead in the third quarter, but Baker still led by 15 heading into the fourth quarter.
Ty D'Andrade scored all seven of Laurel Hill's points in the fourth quarter to finish with a team high nine points.
As was the case most of the game, Phillips, Booker and Martin led the way for Baker in the fourth as the Gators cruised to the win.
The Hoboes were playing without starters Bridget Zessin and Grace Reese, but Laurel Hill coach Scott Varnum refused to use that as an excuse.
"They (the Gators) played really hard," he said. "They outworked us at times.
"No excuses, they outplayed us. They shot it really well and we didn't. We had open looks and the shots didn't fall."

And the Spawny Goes to...
Friday, January 06, 2006
Nine thousand, eight hundred and thirty-two votes were cast in the 2005 McFarlane Toys Action Figure Awards and winners were named in 22 categories. There's no better judge of our figures than the collectors themselves, so let's take a look and see what you crowned the best figures of 2005.
In the Sports categories your voice was heard, and that voice was screaming for FOOTBALL! NFL lines, series or figures won nine of the 10 Sports categories including: Best Likeness (Troy Aikman), Best Pose & Best Legend (Barry Sanders), Best Exclusive (Deion Sanders), Best Boxed Set (Deion Sanders vs. Jerry Rice), Best Lineup (NFL Legends), Best 12-inch Figure (LaDainian Tomlinson), Best 6-inch Figure (Joe Horn), and Best Overall Series (NFL).
Preventing the clean sweep was our Mike Modano retro North Stars figure from NHL 10, which won the Best Chase/Surprise figure category.
Fittingly, the big non-sports winner this year was a line created from many a wish-list on our TOYS message board and numerous e-mail requests from fans and collectors. SPAWN Series 28: Regenerated received five awards -- Line of the Year, Figure of the Year (Mandarin SPAWN 2), Best Boxed Set (SPAWN vs. Urizen), Best Paint (Mandarin SPAWN 2) and Best Packaging.
The rest of the field was pretty varied with Slash winning for both Best Pose and Best Likeness. The SPAWN Series 27 SPAWN vs. Al Simmons deluxe boxed set was your choice for Best Presentation. Fan-favorite ROBOCOP won the Best 12-Inch Figure award. And, in two close races, the "Bloody" Clown 5 Collector's Club Exclusive edged out the Toys 'R' Us Army Desert Infantry deluxe boxed set as the Best Exclusive and Red Riding Hood's gutted wolf and King Conan of Aquilonia's throne actually tied as the year's Best Accessory.

Apprenticeship Carolina, an integral part of the South Carolina Technical College System, announced that Michelin North America is sponsoring a structured two-year program that will offer classroom and practical hands-on experience for their Maintenance Technician. The apprenticeship program is in conjunction with the Michelin Scholars program and will lead to a full associate's degree for the apprentice.
"Building a skilled workforce and increasing the pipeline for skilled labor in advanced manufacturing is very important to Michelin North America," said Steve Burry, employee relations project manager for Michelin North America. "Our registered apprenticeship program aligns very well with this goal. We understand the critical role our employees play in the success of our organization. This program demonstrates Michelin's commitment to our people, our customers and, ultimately, our community."
An apprenticeship is a time-tested method of employee development that combines supervised on-the-job learning and job-related education. A program "registered" with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) shows an employer's visible commitment to developing a high-quality workforce that meets nationally recognized training standards. Michelin's apprenticeship program is competency based with approximately 1,110 hours of job-related education. Michelin will be partnering with technical colleges across the state to deliver the job-related education for all maintenance staff.
Since its inception in 2007, Apprenticeship Carolina has played a key role in growing apprenticeship participation across the state. The number of participating organizations has grown from 90 to 583. During that same time, the number of apprentices in the state has grown exponentially from 777 to 7,137.
"While there is a large pool of labor available, many local employers struggle to find the skilled workers needed to grow their business," said Brad Neese, director of Apprenticeship Carolina. "Apprenticeship Carolina and the technical colleges across our state are committed to bridging this skills gap in South Carolina. Partnerships like this with Michelin demonstrate our commitment while working to increase South Carolina's overall competitiveness."

CHARLOTTE - Forbush was well represented at the prestigious Powerade Baseball State Games last month on the campus of UNC Charlotte.
Falcon standouts Barrett Hennings and Mason Doub were named to the Region 7 squad, while head coach Denny Key was selected as an assistant coach for the region.
Powered by the trio, Region 7 won three of their four games, but just missed the podium in the end.
After a 6-4 loss in the opening game to Region 4, Region 7 bounced back and reeled off three straight victories to make a late push for a medal.
The squad knocked off Region 1 6-3 to secure their first win of the tournament before knocking off eventual champion Region 6 5-4, with Doub picking up the win against the gold medalists.
Region 7 capped the Games with a 5-3 triumph against Region 2 at nearby Hopewell High School to finish with a 3-1 mark.
Doub appeared in two of the four games for the region, throwing five dominant innings, allowing just one run. Hennings played first base in all four games and hit .375 in the tourney, while compiling a .500 on base percentage.
"I was extremely pleased how well Mason and Barrett played in front of probably 60 or more college and major league scouts," Key said after the Games. "Some college coach will be fortunate to get them as part of their program.
"I am definitely looking forward to next year when they return for their senior year at Forbush," he added.
Joining the Falcon trio on the squad was Mountain Valley Conference Player of the Year Austin Staley (Wilkes Central) and Alleghany ace Austin Easter. Wilkes Central skipper Terry Johnson was also named an assistant coach.

Midland Valley hangs on to top Gilbert
GILBERT — Midland Valley spoiled Gilbert's Homecoming on Friday night, outlasting their hosts, 35-28, in a thriller to open Region 5-AAA play.
Gilbert gashed the Mustangs' defense for much of the evening, but Midland Valley made stops when it counted. And on Friday night, it just needed one more stop than the Indians could make. Despite the win, Mustangs head coach Rick Knight called the defensive play "frustrating."
Hammond, Rebels blast Brookland-Cayce
JOHNSTON — By the time Strom Thurmond quarterback Jauveer Hammond threw an incomplete pass in Friday's 42-13 win over previously unbeaten Brookland-Cayce, he had already led the Rebels to a two-score lead.
That point came with 1:20 left in the first half, with the Rebels (5-1, 1-0 Region 5-AAA) driving to expand on a 21-7 lead over the Bearcats (5-1, 0-1).
"He had another good night," head coach Lee Sawyer said of Hammond. "We're starting to get some confidence throwing the ball."
War Eagles bounce back in blowout
WAGENER — For the second week in a row, Wagener-Salley scored 40 points. This time it happened to be in a winning effort, as the War Eagles earned a 42-6 victory over North to move their record to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in Region 4-A.
For the first half, the game was much closer than the final score indicates. Wagener-Salley jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter before North's Josh Harley returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown.
Blue Devils still rule region
NORTH AUGUSTA — First place in Region 4-A was on the line Friday, when the high school football teams from Fox Creek and Williston-Elko faced of at Lions Field. The Predators came into the game riding high, on a four-game winning streak. Winless in their history against the Blue Devils, this game was likely the best chance they've ever had to knock off the kings of the region because of their ability to match power against power.
None of it mattered, as Williston-Elko remained undefeated in region play with a 27-7 win, maintaining a stranglehold over league opponents dating back to 2008 – the last time it lost a Region 4-A contest.
Turnovers cost Hornets chance to winBLYTHEWOOD 34, AIKEN 20
BLYTHEWOOD — Aiken High School (1-5) traveled to the Columbia area for the second week in a row, and similar to last week, the Hornets were unable to come away with the win. Turnovers hurt their chances of coming home with a needed victory. The Hornets out-gained the Bengals of Blythewood High School (4-2) 360-247 on offense, but five turnovers ultimately caused Aiken to fall 34-20.

Dawkins returns as Duke opens practice
A few notes from the first day of Duke's basketball practice:
Welcome back, Andre – After redshirting last season under unusual circumstances, Andre Dawkins was back on the practice court Friday for the first time since March 2012.
Dawkins took a year away from basketball last season as he was still dealing with the grief over his sister's death in a 2009 auto accident.
Dawkins said Friday that he is happier now and is ready to resume his basketball career.
"I had to take ownership of myself on the court and off the court of who I wanted to be as a basketball player, who I wanted to be as a person," Dawkins said. "That's why I took the year off. But I feel like I did a good job and I'm in a good place to be 100 percent focused on basketball this year."
Duke's coaching staff suggested that Dawkins take the year off following his up-and-down junior season. Dawkins remained on scholarship even though he didn't practice with the Blue Devils. He completed his degree and is now taking classes at Duke Divinity School.
Last April, he approached the coaches about returning. He had three options to weigh: Skipping his final year of basketball to move on with his life, transferring to complete his career at another school or playing this season at Duke.
"He earned the right to make this decision," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "I would have been fine. I didn't try to coax him into doing any one of those three. Once he said he wanted to come back. I said `Are you sure?' Then I said `Ok. Clean Slate. Let's go.'"
Good health – Krzyzewski said the team started practice on Friday with good health, something the Blue Devils didn't have at all last season.
Despite Seth Curry being limited in practice with a stress fracture in his shin that required post-season surgery and Ryan Kelly breaking his foot in January, the Blue Devils went 30-6 and reached the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight.
So, when Krzyzewski announced that all players are healthy on Friday, he symbolically knocked on wood.
"We'll start with everyone healthy which would be a cool thing to say for the entire year," he said.
Rodney Hood has fully recovered from an Achilles' tendon injury he suffered while practicing with Team USA in preparation for the World University Games last June. Hood left that team and returned to Durham before participating in a game, but Krzyzewski said Hood is completely recoverd.
Marshall Plumlee, a 7-0 redshirt sophomore, has battled foot problems for parts of two seasons.
"I don't think he's back to playing like he can," Krzyzewski said. "When you've been out for as long as he's been out, just the memory of what he used to do takes a little bit longer. But I'm happy with where he's at."
Open practice – Duke will hold a rare open practice at Cameron Indoor Stadium Saturday morning from 10 a.m.-noon. Admission is free. Parking will be available for $10.
Those in attendance will get an early glimpse of Duke's team, which is filled with athletic players up and down the roster. Krzyzewski said this year's Blue Devils will play an up-tempo style and will be unlike any team he's coached at Duke in the past 10 years or so.
He said it reminds him of the Duke teams from the late 1990s and the early 2000s. That includes the 2001 NCAA champions.
"We were very athletic," Krzyzewski said. "I like it. I'm anxious to see what the heck we're going to do. And the kids are excited about it."

Congress disapproval
Congress currently sports a five percent approval rating. Pretty shabby. My non-partisan idea is when the mid-term election comes up in a year, vote all incumbents out of office and see if the incoming newbies get the picture.
Vehicle cost
North Augusta is able to pay $650,000 for a vehicle they don't need because the rest of Aiken County is footing the bill for Project Jackson.
Horse district trees
Why aren't the trees under the power lines trimmed? They're trimmed everywhere else. Is the horse district special and doesn't have to get its trees trimmed?
The president needs to sit down and negotiate. Clinton did it.
Parents' responsibility
Parents should be responsible for their children when they live in apartments.
Nuclear waste
Will the SRS Heritage Center describe how thousands of residents were forcibly removed from their property by the U.S. government to make way for a weapon of mass destruction and create a nuclear waste dump that will forever make thousands of acres of land unusable?
Program money
We always hear about Social Security running out of money. Why is it we never hear about welfare running out of money? Social Security was paid by people working ... welfare is not.
The other day I received a hand-addressed envelope in the mail. To my surprise, it was a certified check. Being suspicious of a scam, I contacted the bank who issued it. The check was legitimate. Someone with whom I'd crossed paths had sent me a gift. I struggled for a few days with cashing it or not and finally decided that if this person had it in his or her heart to send it, he or she must have meant for me to have it. This reinforces my belief that there are good people in this world and that I should be grateful for what I have, be kind to everyone I meet and help others when I can. Most people hope to hit the lottery. I believe that within the people I meet, I have hit the lottery. I will pass some of this good fortune along to others I know of who are in need, and if there is anything I can do for you in the future (my anonymous gift-giver), please don't hesitate to ask.

One of my favorite foods is cabbage because it's super versatile, has hardly any calories, is free of wheat and gluten, is great for digestion, and is beautiful in color (purple and green). It tastes awesome in salads, gives us valuable probiotics as pickled sauerkraut, plus it works perfectly as a "shell" to be stuffed with yummy fillings to make a delicious hand held treat. I'm currently reintroducing heart-healthy fats into my diet from flax and chia seeds (omega-3), some nuts (vitamin E and antioxidants), and olives to keep my skin supple and moist, especially now that autumn is upon us. I picked up a bunch of avocados at the Farmers' Market, but am disappointed they didn't make it into my bag!
Today, I filled up a red cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Watch our "How to Chiffonade" video I shot for Vegetarian Times Magazine: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/video/10). Please watch on the Vegetarian Times website to help generate viewer numbers. Thank you!
I'm also embedding it below from my own YouTube channel:
I first filled up my purple cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Next, I layered on a Black Olive Tapenade, from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, page 155, and Candied Onions, inspired by my Buckwheat-Battered "Fried" Onion Rings, from page 116 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials, plus I added maple syrup to sweeten the onions. I then topped it all with artichoke hearts, and would have added avocado, if I had some on hand.
Black Olive Tapenade
Place all ingredients into food processor, mix well.
Will keep for a week or longer stored in fridge.
Candied Onions
Place all ingredients into mixing bowl. Set aside to marinate and wilt for at least 10 minutes. Add syrup to your liking. I choose to make this sweet! Squeeze excess liquid before using.
Will keep for several days in fridge.
My first stop in Portland, OR was to shoot a 6-minute segment with host Dave Anderson for AM Northwest on KATU TV. I show Dave how to make a Vegetable Nori Roll from Ani's Raw Food Asia. Dave's lost a ton of weight since I saw him along my last tour, and looks great. He said he cut out processed foods and cut back on alcohol.
Here I am above with AM Northwest co-host Helen Raptis.
Next stop was Yummy Tummy Cafe for a lunchtime fuel-up on a gallon of Norwalk green juice; chocolate covered jungle peanuts; and a ruben sandwich made from flax seeds, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. Omg, seriously yummy tummy! And, a book signing meet-and-greet. From here, I was shuttled over to the KBOO radio station for an interview, and then finally ended up at Powell's Books downtown for a talk and book signing.
I got to visit Powell's rare book room, where I sat and signed a stack of my books, including Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Peter Hanfileti is a very dear, long-time family friend from when I was in middle school…that's so long ago! He's an MD and acupuncturist in Vancouver, WA.
Kris Dyer may look familiar because he's in my first book, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, which I wrote when I still lived in Portland. Kris was also one of our SmartMonkeys! I love tour because it allows me to visit friends I haven't seen in a while. The weather was dry and sunny, just like last year in Portland! I love that city especially when the weather is gorgeous. Plus, the city's blanketed with WiFi.
The 1st stop along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia was at Santa Monica Place at Artisanal LA on April 16, 2011. Here are 4 short videos from my talk, Q+A, and book signing:
1) Ani's Raw Food Asia – I love organic, local, seasonal foods
2) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Probiotics, Happiness, Longevity
3) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Easy ways to add more raw to any diet!
4) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Recipe inspirations and sources for protein.
I was invited to the VitaMix headquarters in Cleveland, OH to shoot a 60-minute DVD that will be included in their latest VitaMix Turbo Blend Variable Speed blender. This was a huge honor for me, as you all know how much I love my VitaMix. My family had an early model in our kitchen from the 70s, so I've used the VitaMix my entire life.
The production was shot in a big stadium kitchen where the production crew and VitaMix employees including chefs, food scientists, marketing, and product development filled the stands. I think we shot about 14 or 16 segments in just 2 days! The owner of VitaMix is vegan, so all the recipes are free of dairy and animal products.
Bob Stefanov, the director, was a joy to work with. We had loads of fun and made sure to laugh a lot.
The wonderful team at VitaMix. I am so eager to watch the videos, haven't seen them yet, and friends were telling me they watched it at the VitaMix booth at Expo West last weekend up on a big screen TV. We're planning a big launch at Expo West, so make sure to look for me at the VitaMix booth in March in Anaheim, CA.
The new TurboBlend Variable Speed will be available at natural food stores including Whole Foods Markets. So excited to help launch this new product with VitaMix!!
I was invited onto FOX in San Diego for a 6-minute segment on the benefits of the raw food diet and to talk about the Sambazon Warrior Up Campaign. I made host Raoul Martinez a few smoothies including a Banana Butter Breeze with Cacao. I planned to make him a Tomato Tarragon Bisque, but ran out of time.
