Roller Brushes
The roller brush of your vacuum cleaner sweeps dirt and debris off your floors. The bristles of the brush can be worn down over the period of time. This will prevent the brush from collecting all the dust and grime from the carpets and bare floors. The roller brush can be replaced if they are damaged or the bristles are worn out.
How to increase the life span of a roller brush
•The longetivity of the vacuum brush depends on how well you take care of it. The vacuum must be dusted and cleaned once in a while.
•Unfasten the faceplate over the brush bar and remove the plastic faceplate. Using a pair of scissors cut the threads and hair that are entangled around the brush bar.
•Using a rag wipe the dust and debris from the brush bar.
•Replace the faceplate and tighten the fasteners before using the vacuum.

At the County Commissioner's Meeting that was held on Monday, June 4, 2012, the Commissioners named individuals to the Board for Pushmataha County's 911 System.
The Commissioners double appointed the Ambulance Board to take the rains of the 911 Board. They feel that this was a great fit since each of the board members already knows the county well and no training was needed for the board members.
"It was a really good fit," said Antlers Fire Chief Randy Janoe. "They all know their areas, as well as the county, and know how to operate a board successfully."
With the growing health concerns and families and individuals wanting to live healthier life styles many are going to organic products and foods. This isn't always easy for residents living in Southeastern Oklahoma, but things just got a little bit simpler.
The monthly meeting of the Antlers City Council was called to order at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, June 4, 2012 in Antlers City Hall. The meeting was called to order and a quorum was established. Then the board approved the minutes for the May 7th and May 17th meetings and purchase orders for May 2012.
The board then approved the 2012-2013 City Budget,Ordinance No. 2012-04 Compensation for City Clerk/Treasurer, the Workers Compensation Plan Renewal and the 2012-2013 Center Sponsor Agreement and Budget for Senior Citizen Nutrition Center.
On Saturday, June 2, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club held their Annual Husband-Wife Bass Tournament and Fish Fry. Twenty-one anglers competed in the event that was held on McGee Creek Lake. Teams did not have to be husband and wife but did they did have to be a male-female team to be eligible for heavy stringer prizes. For the most part, the weather cooperated with mild temperatures, however some anglers did have to deal with scattered rain showers.
On Saturday, May 26, members of the Pushmataha County Junior Bassmasters and Conservation Club competed in the first state qualifying bass tournament of the 2012 season. The tournament was held on Hugo Lake with takeoff being at the Frazier Creek ramp. Fishing time was from safe light until 12:00 noon.

Please note: Above are recommendations. Always read the product label.
How To Apply
Mix the amount of Ultra Pondweed Defense® and Treatment Booster™ PLUS (if using) with pond water in a tank sprayer according to label instructions. Use a pressurized pond sprayer to spray the Ultra Pondweed Defense® mixture directly onto to the target weeds. Treat only up to half of the pond's surface and wait 10-14 days before a second treatment. In hot weather or when fish are stressed, treat only 1/4 - 1/3 of the pond's surface at a time. For deeper water, place the sprayer's tip beneath the water's surface. Over time, the weeds will begin to brown and die. Once completely dead, use a rake, like the Pond & Beach Rake, to remove dead weeds to prevent an accumulation of dead plant material and muck.
When To Apply
Ultra Pondweed Defense® has no temperature restriction, but it should only be applied when weeds are actively growing. Use with Treatment Booster™ PLUS for best results.
- Wait 3 days before using treated water for human drinking water.
- Wait 1 day before using treated water for livestock and domestic animal consumption.
- Wait 5 days before using treated water for irrigation.
Weeds Treated
The first step towards effectively treating any pond weed is proper identification. Pond Logic® Ultra PondWeed Defense® Aquatic Herbicide is recommended for use against each of the weeds listed below. Click on your desired weed for more information and alternate control options.

Recent Hydration Reservoir Reviews
Platypus Big Zip LP
I have the Big Zip 3 liter and I love it. BPA-free and easy opening. I used to have the 2L but recently got a 3L and I'm glad I did. I like how there is a divider in the bag so the water fills evenly. I also like how it is BPA free. I prefer the Big Zip over the Hoser because I can open the bag with ease to put more water in and to pour out. Full review
Source D|vide
The Source D/Vide hydration reservoir redefines flexibility of purpose in a hydration reservoir. It performs without flaw, has excellent ergonomics and reliability in the bite-valve design, is highly resistant to additive taste from its construction materials, and it doesn't leak under heavy use (from anywhere). It is easy to clean and refill, and creates a brilliant, simplified solution for those of us who want to easily carry more than just water for long MTB rides, backpacking trips, snowshoe… Full review
Osprey Hydraulics Reservoir
A great reservoir! And easy maintenance. Here is another great product by Osprey! This product comes in both 2L and 3L, mine of which being the 3L, and it is held well, and offers plenty of water for the backcountry. I've had a few reservoirs, and this one is my favorite to date. It fits into multiple packs well, even at 3Ls. Including a Talon 22, which is not the largest pack, but 3L is held just fine; as well as my Kid Carrier by a different brand (which I was a little leery of the fit, but… Full review
Sea to Summit Pack Tap
This is a great product that served me well for two years of about once monthly use. I was loving the ease of use and the ability to carry so much more water. It was all going well till out on a hike the Pack Tap started leaking around the seam that the opening attached to the bag with. I can no longer use it as it leaks too rapidly. Luckily it broke on me on my last day of the hike and I had another bottle with me to use. Full review
Platypus Hoser
Great reservoir, no taste or smell, and no leaks. I've been a hiker for a while now and have always used a simple Nalgene bottle, but finally gave in and purchased this 3L Platypus reservoir to go in a reservoir compatible day pack I already owned. My first issue was that the sleeve in the day pack was too small for this enormous water bladder. Once I got it situated in my pack and routed the hose I was all set. The advantage of course is that when I want a drink I don't have to try and contort… Full review
MSR DromLite Bag
Light and effective water supply bag for backpacking. I've used the 6L sized bag for many years. I carry it empty until near camp and then fill it as a water supply for around camp. These DromLite bags are a little lighter than the black MSR Dromedary bags. They are sufficiently durable for backpacking. I've never had any leakage issues, and the contents have never had a bad taste. I once had to replace a bag that was punctured by a pair of teeth from a pesky rodent wandering around camp at night… Full review
MSR Dromedary Bags
I have borrowed the 10L dromedary from a friend a few times and love it! I have this dromedary on my list as one of my next purchases for sure. This dromedary stands up to a lot more than a plastic dromedary will. I have used it on a few treks and absolutely love it. It is very convenient that I am able to attach the dromedary to my backpack, instead of having to lug something by hand around to have water. Full review
Platypus Hoser
Goal: hydration system that works all the time, is comparatively durable, works with multiple water filtrations systems and components, and is the lightest weight. Bar none, the solution is the Platypus Hoser. I am more of a hiker and less of a camper. So my hydration system needs to be more for an athletic backpack that takes a beating. In other words, I would be more forgiving if my hydration system was not perfect for camp. So, I was thrilled to discover through many miles and camps that the… Full review
Source Widepac
Revolutionary design for a water bladder and it's just as tough as they say it is. Love the slide closure! Great for backpacking (3L) or hiking (1.5 or 2L). Keeps water fresh for days. Okay, I don't know where I read the first review for this bladder, but when I watched a car drive over a full one without it bursting, I thought "what the hell do I have to lose?" I'd never heard of SourceOutdoor and although I was tempted to go with a Platypus for about the same price, I decided to try the Widepac… Full review

:eyebrow: I have no idea about Dean Koontz, but every time I see this thread title it makes my butt crawl. :eek2:
i read both koontz and john saul, another one compared to king on a regular basis, and neither were that interesting or that good of writers really ...
mr king is so unique and such a talented writer it just doesn't work to say 'this person is like king' ... no one is like king ... that's what makes him the best in his genre and one of the best american authors ever ...
imho :)
Wow, I couldn't possibly agree with the basic premise of this thread more.
The first book I read by DK was Intensity, and I picked it up as audiobook and brought on a solo car trip from New Hampshire to Wisconsin and back. This poorly named book nearly killed me! One minute, there I was thinking that if I had bought this book in hard cover, I never would have kept with it to the end. The next minute, I realized that the extreme Lack of Intensity had me at the brink of falling asleep at the wheel!
At one point during the trip, I locked my keys in the car. I don't think it was a true accident; I think my subconscious was trying to save me.
In a (only slightly) more serious tone, I have often used DK as a comparison to illustrate why I think SK is such an excellent writer. I think DK and SK are a pair of some of the most naturally gifted storytellers ever, and the difference lies in the work ethic and commitment to the craft of writing. SK is committed to constant and work and self-improvement, and whatever you may think about how is early stuff compares with his newer stuff, (I love both for different reasons) the course of his growth and evolution as writer is readily apparent.
By contrast, the declining quality of DK work, the increasingly infrequent examples of genuinely good DK books, seems to me evidence that he is resting on the laurels of his past successes. Perhaps he is trying to recapture his past magic instead of trying to forge new territory? I just don't know. I do know that he has done enough quality work to prove that there is real talent there and enough low quality work to convince that my book buying budget--which isn't particularly small or selective--would be better spent elsewhere.
Just about every element of the DK books I've read were deeply cliched and over-wrought. Some of the metaphors I've seen him use are truly laughable, like something Richard Lederer would pull from a college writing assignment and compile in an article about the many ways in which college students are able to murder the English language in both fact and spirit.
Metaphors like (and these might not be exact, but you'll get the idea):
1. "...in 1967, [Such-and-such] Falls was as free of crime as it was unencumbered by lumbering Brontosaur." Wow! That's pretty crime-free!
2. "...Barty cried more tears than could be found in 10,000 onions." Were they Bloomin' Onions from the Outback Steakhouse, because maybe that wouldn't be so bad....
I find it hilarious the same DK who used the metaphors above--and a bunch of equally tortured examples I can no longer recall--actually once said "Please, don't torture me with cliches. If you're going to try to intimidate me, have the courtesy to go away for a while, acquire a better education, improve your vocabulary, and come back with some fresh metaphors." I don't really know if he said it or wrote it, but I'm suspect he was talking to his own reflection at the time.
[Pant pant pant.] OK. I admit it that this tirade has probably been too bombastic and out of appropriate proportion, but I've been holding in on this rant for so long, it took on a life of its own. All I really wanted to say was: "Yes, Tabascofred, I agree."
Thanks, Ally, I thought I'd moved this to the right Forum already but apparently not. :smile2:
I agree King is King Koontz is an inposter!

Center for International Studies
Dear African Studies graduates!
On behalf of the African Studies faculty and staff I want to congratulate you as you prepare to march from commencement in the Convocation Center into lives filled with new knowledge and new skills dedicated to understanding the dynamic continent of Africa and the people who live there. We have very much enjoyed traveling with you on this part of your journey- and I hope you stop from time to time and visit with us here in Athens or keep in touch with a postcard! We like to see our graduates come back to Athens for special Africa-related events, like our African music concerts or guest lectures, and as you prepare yourselves further, we are interested in what you may have to share with us as well. Keep in touch with information about job possibilities, new research opportunities, or insights about issues developing in Africa. I think that it is the responsibility of everyone tied to the African continent in some way to work on helping the whole world to better understand Africa. One of my gurus, Lester Brown, said, "the worst thing we can do to Africa is to lose hope." That becomes harder to do everyday.
Best wishes for your future,
Steve Howard,
Our three newest professors
Hosting students from Central State University
The African Studies Program hosted undergraduate students from Central State University. Whilst here, the students attended a talk by African Studies alumnus Oumar Ba, toured the Athens campus and also had the opportunity to meet African Studies faculty and students.

We've all seen the 'Stop Texting' magnets stuck to the back of vehicles, and it puts things into perspective when you look at the statistics. In 2011, 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers; in 2010, it was 3,267, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
It has become more common than ever to see drivers texting while driving. But it's no longer just teens; adults play a huge role as well. According to a new survey done by AT&T, 49 percent of adults surveyed said they text and drive even though 98 percent of adult drivers surveyd said they know that distracted driving isn't safe. But the popular trend is on the uprise as six out of 10 drivers said they never texted behind the wheel just three years ago, said AT&T.
While the survey showed adults were more likely to engage in the bad habit, 43 percent of teens also said they were sending messages while behind the wheel. One of the most common reasons why teens text and drive is rather simple: most text-message users, the survey said, expect a reply within five minutes or less.
AT&T found that not having a parental rule against texting and driving is among the greatest predictors that a teen will send messages while driving. Other factors included whether a teen had a full- or part-time job, owned a smartphone or usually sent more than 100 text messages per day.
Find more information on distracted drivers or request a "Stop Texting" magnet from Lehigh Valley Health Network.

Man, I really thought we would know the #1 contender after the PPV but I guess not. There's an asterisk next to each person's name:
[1] Woodley - He just beat the #2 guy in the division but unfortunately it was a takedown that hurt Condit and not a strike, a submission or a slam. A takedown, although offensive is not meant to do any damage so it will be considered a freak injury (much like Coleman's victory over Shogun). This takes away from Woodley's win, which is quite unfortunate because he was doing well with his power and speed.
[2] Lombard - I thought Lombard did well. He blitzed Shields in the first round and although took his foot off the gas, still dominated Shields, who is extremely hard to dominate much less win against. I really thought what hurt Lombard is the commentary. Imagine if Rogan was on his nuts saying "think about it folks, he is dominating Jake Shields in every aspect of the game which is hard to do, and looks like a contender for the belt" but instead we heard nearly 10 minutes of criticism. This hurts the marketability of the fight.
[3] Rory - He has the skills obviously and I do think he's a future title contender. He's also very marketable with his awkward personality and being GSP's protege. However, he is on a one fight winning streak where he was dominated in the first round of the Maia fight and previous to that, lost to Robbie and won a lackluster fight against Ellenberger. Rory really would need another win under his belt to get a title shot in my eyes.
[4] Diaz - Please no. He does not deserve it at all. I don't know how anyone can make a case for him. He hasn't won a fight since October 2011 and lost two shots at the title after, where in the latter shot against GSP, he did nothing!
[5] Kim - He's on a 4-fight win streak against some decent competition but no one is in the top 10, so no. The guys above have all beaten top 10 competition. Kim hasn't even beaten top 15. They deserve it more regardless of the streak.
[6] Saffiedine - He's on a 5-fight win streak. If he beats Ellenberger, his name is in the mix but his marketability will hurt him.
So pretty much, the answer is that I still don't know. It has to go to one of the first 3 in my eyes and I wouldn't be surprised if the UFC announced any of the 3. The other option is that they make a #1 contender fight with 2 of the 3 and the winner faces Johny. This may not be a surprise given Hendricks injured his elbow and may be out until Sep/Oct.

Dorchester District Two Board of Trustees met Monday with a full board in attendance…sort of. Three of the seven board members were in Texas at a technology conference along with Assistant Superintendent Sean Alford. However, in its first venture into high tech, the Texas contingent participated in the meeting via Skype. Using a Smart phone, seen above, Board Chair Gail Hughes, members Lisa Tupper and Charles Stoudenmire and Alford listened, asked questions and voted.

Apple's influence on gaming
Paul Tassi over at Forbes has written an article taking exception to results tabulated at the London Games Conference, where he feels Apple's influence on the gaming industry was blown way out of proportion.
Ridiculousness, plain and simple. Sure, Steve Jobs was a great tech pioneer, but giving him credit for shaping the VIDEO GAME industry more than any other figure? Are you kidding ? Though the iPhone debuted some very popular casual titles like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, they hardly invented the cell phone game, and to say that ANY mobile game is more relevant to the industry than years of console and PC titles is absolute insanity. Then to give Jobs the top honors over Gabe Newell (of Valve) and Shigeru Miyamoto (of Nintendo) is blasphemy, plain and simple. Gaming was never Jobs' primary focus, as Macs can barely play most PC games, and only recently has the iPhone made waves in the casual games market.
iPhone's influence was pegged at 17% compared to 7% for the Wii and 3% for Xbox live. Steve Jobs at 26% vs. Gabe Newell at 16% and Shigeru Miyamoto at 7%. No doubt a lot of this can be ascribed to the familiarities and feelings of the people being surveyed, and that's the problem with popularity surveys. I love gaming on my iPhone and iPad and Apple has certainly done a lot for mobile gaming. But a greater influence than some of the other runners up mentioned above? Craziness.

Apple's influence on gaming
No doubt a lot of this can be ascribed to the familiarities and feelings of the people being surveyed, and that's the problem with popularity surveys. I love gaming on my iPhone and iPad and Apple has certainly done a lot for mobile gaming. But a greater influence than some of the other runners up mentioned above?
I haven't touched my DS since owning an iPhone. The iPhone has most definitely had an impact on mobile gaming. But the rest of this article is filled with fanboy kool-aid stuff.
You can't simply mesh mobile gaming and home gaming into one category. To say iPhone has had an impact on PC & console gaming is a bit of a stretch.
I don't think console gaming has anything to fear from the iPhone/iPod/iPad. MS has taken great strides to morph the Xbox into a home media center. Sony is trying to do the same. That goes a long way in keeping consoles in homes. The more things they can do, the longer they'll stick around.
I don't think they would disappear completely anyway. Not everyone wants to only play touchscreen games. Even if you plug your phone into the television you would be playing a scaled up touchscreen game. Console/PC games satisfy a HUGE market that isn't going anywhere. In the future maybe a different form factor will REPLACE the console as we know it, but playing games on your television with a controller of some sort is a concept that will stay for a long time.
As far as mobile gaming, no one has had a greater impact than Apple. True they didn't invent mobile games, but so what? They didn't invent the mobile phone either but you can't deny their impact. If anything they've increased the gaming market which should make everyone happy.
Airplay -- Mirroring a driving game from a pad to a TV has had nowhere near the influence of even one of Miyamoto's creations, but Airplay has shown some potential. Check back when Airplay has contributed more to the game industry and to game design than Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, and the overall motion control scheme of the Wii combined.
Thunderbolt -- a nice piece of technology, but this is directly relevant to and influential on gaming how? Even Apple is not positioning it as a gaming tech.
Bluetooth controllers, keyboards, and mice -- now you're giving Apple credit for things that Sony and Nintendo did years ago?
Jobs did nothing for gaming intentionally, he had no idea it would take off like it did for the ipod touch. So it wasn't even planned. Absolute nonsense.
So many genious things were made occassionaly and non-intentionally in our history. So the fact is fact, Apple influenced gaming. iPhone is like having XBOX or PS in your pocket and the games are mostly connected and online
(Original reply not showing up--forgive if double posted)
Airplay -- Mirroring a driving game from a pad to a TV has not had the impact of a single one of Miyamoto's creations, though it has shown potential. Check back when Airplay has had more influence on the game industry and game design than Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda, Starfox, and the basic motion control scheme of the Wii combined.
Thunderbolt -- nice technology, but directly relevant to or influential on gaming how? Even Apple is not positioning it has gaming tech.
Bluetooth controllers, keyboads, and mice -- now you are giving Apple credit for what Sony and Nintendo did years ago?
what people fail to realize is the success of the iphone is largely due to technological advances made in the electronics and gaming industries decades ago. yes, there is something to be said of one's part in maturing a technology... but c'mon. i think Jobs was brilliant just as much as the next guy but next you are going to tell me he invented the electron. all things in perspective people.
This is really a useless argument , apple is in the game by accident thanks to the iPhone . In no way shape or form are they even close to being more influential on video game history than Sega, Ea, Microsoft, Nintendo , midway . Check back in 5-10 years then we can talk about their place in video game history . All they ate now is a rookie with a lot of promise and potential
Apple Ii - come on... That was the first to bring gaming... period - 1979!! (other than adventure)
Apple Ii - come on... That was the first to bring gaming... period - 1979!! (other than adventure)
Nobody remembers the Apple II that brought computers and gaming into the home circa 1979?
& iPhone had brought gaming to another group who would never have touched a gaming system... Certainly not the best but it definitely hit a new audience... And fair enough.. Jobs is gone so they decided to honor him...
Only the console has to worry about the mobile device, because like it, it can't be upgraded to perform better and mobile devices are becoming more powerful on a more frequent cycle. I doubt a PC gamer will drop his PC habits for a mobile device wirelessly connecting to a big screen. I could be wrong though...
Steve did it all. Your a idot
Awesome!!! experience of gaming on my iPhone 4... Apple is just too good.
Actually I think you mean Ralph Baer. He is the true godfather of video games. But to your larger point to put Steve Jobs ahead of luminaries like Shigeru Miyamoto, Will Wright, Hideo Kojima, John Cormack, I could go on and on.
And the home console is not going to die because of the iPhone, iPod, tablet market. The same nonsense has been spouted when TV came along - radio was dead. Wrong! Internet was going to kill TV - Wrong again! Wait wait wait... DLC is going to kill cable/satellite/TV/retail games... ummmmm WRONG AGAIN! Today's tech is not remotely enough to wipe out the staples of tech people have depended on for decades.
People don't by an iPhone to game on. They buy it because it is a great phone and while they are at it, they download a few games that they play when they have nothing better to do while waiting in a line, riding on a bus ect. Apple hasn't revolutionized gaming. The iPhone is the worst gaming device known to man. It has one freaking button for gods sake. It is just provides a convenient way to waste time playing really bad games. The console and PC will never go away for doing real gaming. Angry Birds is a joke of a game.

Hey y'all!
I cannot believe summer break is almost over and school's about to start back up! Cah-to-the-razy! Crazy! This summer, the Bratz and I were on a mission to have the most EPIC SUMMER OF ALL TIME! I don't know about y'all, but we totes met our goal! Go team!!
You fabulously awesome Bratzies gave us a TON of ideas for our #UnleashYourSummer Bucket List. We didn't hit ALL of them, but there is always next summer!! T.B.H., we did soooooo much, I don't know how we could have fit in anything else!! We went hang gliding, white water rafting, volunteered at charities, wrote poetry, tried new foods, talked to our crushes, created our own water park and so much more! We pushed the limits, faced our fears and had an AH-MAZ-ING time doing it!!
I'm super glad that we Bratz decided to do a combined Summer Bucket List. By having each one of us add things to the Bucket List, we all had to try something that scared us a little. We all had to go out of our comfort zone just a bit. Obvs, a friend would never make you do anything you didn't want to do or didn't feel comfortable doing. That's not what a shared Summer Bucket List is about. It's about helping your friends, lending a hand, and giving your BBFs a gentle nudge to challenge themselves. Friends encouraging each other to grow is totes the only true way to #UnleashYourSummer!!
I think the FAB-solute bestestest thing that came out of challenging each other with our Summer Bucket List was how tight we became! Jade, Sasha, Yasmin and I were already besties, but now that we have experienced all these cool new things together, we are closer than ever!
Have any of you Bratzies experienced that? What crazy thing did you and your BBF do to become super tight? Did you and your besties do anything ridiculously awesome this summer?
Love you all!

What was your favorite memory from 2012?
The Quakes broke ground, won the Supporters' Shield, and Wondo netted number 27
November 15, 2012
The 2012 season had plenty in store for Earthquakes fans.
We broke ground. Wondo tied Roy Lassiter's record of 27 goals in a season. The Quakes won their second Supporters' Shield. Yet, these were only a handful of memorable moments from a fantastic 2012 season.

Labor Day marks the weekend my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kanga, and I rescued one another….9-years ago! How time flies. (and yes, I cake sunblock on my face, as you can see).
Kanga had been at the Humane Society for over 2 weeks, and no one adopted her. Surprising, since she is a beautiful specimen of this breed. Plus, she came fully trained, so someone had spent a lot of time and energy with her. She was skin and bone, and 50+ pounds underweight with kennel cough and dusty fur. Poor baby.
Luckily, a truck intercepted 20 dogs on their way to get euthanized, and brought them back to a no-kill shelter in Portland, OR called Family Dogs NW. This was where I found Kanga early the very next morning. I applied the same raw food principles to Kanga as I do for human healing, and over the next month or two she gained 50 pounds and regained radiant health on a Raw Food diet. You can read more about her journey in Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, where Kanga has her own dog food chapter.
My brother Max saw this photo of Kanga and said she looks like she's "mugging". I had to ask him what the heck that means. Max said "mugging = posing, like rappers do for pics". Hahaa. Yup, Kanga is a superstar, and very popular too. Folks always stop us to pet her, especially young children.
Kanga's from Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe Rhodesia, and the Sahara so she loves the sun, warmth, and sand. She hates water, but it was so hot out that Kanga got her paws wet. I love dog beach because here she can roam off-leash, and run free to play with other dogs.
Kanga and I love laying in the sand and soaking up the sun. It's never hot enough for us, and soaking up sun is one of our favorite past times. I'm happy I got to take Kanga to Huntington Dog Beach yesterday on the final hot day of the summer (it was 90 F) to celebrate her 9-year Bday and Dogversary with me. Thank you Kanga for being my family, love, and for hanging out with me for the past 9-years! I love you.
I was honored to have been invited to speak on a panel with superstars (from left to right above) Rachelle Carson Begley (married to Ed Begley), Sophie Uliano (NYTimes best selling author), Izabella Miko (actress), Carly Harrill (blogger ghost writer), Karen Stewart Brown (fashion designer), Kris Willey (host of WotGG), and Alexandra Spunt (author).
The focus of this panel was how we came into our careers. I explained how I used to work in a corporate environment that was not recycling, was wasting energy, and was using styrofoam cups for one 4 ounce shot of water. I realized my raw food catering and the weekly events I was hosting (to feed myself good food) was a successful business. So, I decided to leave corporate America to focus 100% on my prepared packaged foods, catering, and events. I followed my bliss because I believed raw foods helped people feel better and healthier. It also helps us tread lightly on our Planet.
This event was held in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA on Saturday May 14, 2011. These beautiful photos are courtesy of photosbyKailas.com. Thanks Kailas!
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 had so much fun celebrating the pre-launch of Ani's Raw Food Asia at Artisanal LA in Santa Monica.
All of these beautiful photos were taken by the amazing Sherman Lee. Thanks Sherman!!
It was a weekend full of local and seasonal gourmet foods (though way too much bacon! – what's up with bacon these days?) and great expert panels and talks.
I love this fish eye photo, it was a full crowd with great people old and new to raw foods and the raw food diet and lifestyle. Thanks to the wonder woman organizer Shawna Dawson for all her support, for announcing my talk over the loud speaker, and for putting me and Ani's Raw Food Asia in their printed program.
Q+A is my favorite part of my appearances because I get to listen and interact with my new friends.
It's always so nice to have my brother Max and my family with me at my events.
This lovely lady kept asking me about how to learn to make raw food. I say if you're interested in making food, you have to learn how to make all foods first. Then you can translate it into raw food prep.
Libby drove all the way up from San Diego with her friends just to grab an early copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Please check my homepage and also my calendar of events for upcoming events and stops along my book tour. Hope to see you all very soon. xoxo
Vitamix invited me to sign books for 2-hours at their booth on Day 2 of Expo West. We had a line that was so long the other vendors complained our fans were blocking their booths. Hum…I would have thought they'd be stoked to have a captive audience to sell to.
Even the fire marshall was called in because our line was too long. A good problem to have! I signed 200+ books in 2-hours! (Plus, I signed another 100+ at our reception later that eve.) Thank you Vitamix for generously gifting these books to our friends and fans.
This is the amazing Vitamix team that made this all happen. You can see the video of my 60-minute DVD they're including with the TurboBlend-VS playing in the background.
I love Expo West because I get to connect with old friends I haven't seen for a while. Here's Elizabeth Castoria from VegNews Magazine. Their booth was just down the isle from Vitamix.
I found the beautiful fitness model Koya Webb. I love how ripped this girl is…so pretty.
This was the most brilliant display at the Expo. GoRaw simply hydrated their bar, and set it to sprout over time. Perfect demonstration of why raw….raw generates more life. Now, try that with processed cooked food.
Eric Botner is an amazing man helping make superfoods available to the mainstream. Earth Circle Organics was one of the generous sponsors for my Gastrawnomique dinner event last November. And, they have a cacao and cashew crunch that is sweetened with coconut syrup (the latest in low glycemic sweeteners) that is to live for!
Chris Ochs at Sunfood was another generous sponsor for Gastrawnomique.
After a day of being inside a huge convention center under fluorescent lights, I needed an oxygen infusion. Luckily, I found an oxygen bar, AirHeads, at the Seventh Generation booth, and plugged in for several minutes to recharge.
I ran into many, many other friends including Ryan and Jeremy Black from Sambazon, Frederick from Big Tree Farms, Jane Kim from Sea Tangle Kelp Noodles, my friends at Sequel, ….but unfortunately didn't get photos with them.
Next…photos from the Vitamix Mix + Mingle with moi later that evening.
BBC Good Food interviewed me for a feature on Raw Foods in their Feb 2011 issue. Very cool, take a peek!
Audra Lowe, the beautiful host of Better TV, invited me to talk about some of the benefits of raw foods. I had so much fun shooting 2 segments in her Connecticut studio back in November. Autumn on the East Coast is so pretty with the changing colors of the leaves. These segments aired nationally on January 12th, 2011.
Last week's dinner at the Test Kitchen was a chance for me to introduce my latest Raw Food 3.0, inspired by molecular gastronomy without the chemicals, vegan and raw. My 6 courses were presented to a main stream foodie audience in a fine dining atmosphere. And it RAWked!
Truffle Flan
Smoked Anaheim Chili
Lapsang Souschong Wild Mushroom
Molten Cookie Dough
Pumpkin Gelee
It was so much fun to get to feed everyone my new style of Gastrawnomique cuisine in such a beautiful setting with amazing staff. It was a packed house both nights. Celebrities who came to dine included Frances Fisher, John Salley, Jarad Butler, and Diane Warren.
In the kitchen were some of the most amazing chefs assisting me and making sure my dinners were successful both nights including Bravo Top Chef Alex Reznik and Next Food Network Stars Doreen Fang and DAS. I'll post up more behind the scenes and kitchen photos next….
Generous sponsors included Excalibur Dehydrators, Earth Circle Organic, Big Tree Farms, Sunfood, Gold Mine Natural Foods, and Sambazon.
These photos were all taken by Maria Loewenstein, except for the Lapsang Souschong Wild Mushroom which was taken by Rogelio Marhx.
Today was Day 3 of food prep at the Test Kitchen. My GastRAWnomique molecular gastronomy inspired dinner is just days away. Chris Ochs and Josh from SunFood personally delivered a ton of superfoods. Diane Paylor and I were elbow deep in cacao. And Top Chef Alex Reznik was cold smoking my cashews for me.
To cold smoke, Alex uses a smoking gun packed with chips to push smoke into a sealed container of raw cashews. The cashews absorb the aroma of the smoke, but stay raw. Pretty cool. No pun intended.
Restaurant Mo-Chica's Ricardo Zarate and I making Cheddar Kale Chips.
Richi helping me set up 8 Excalibur Dehydrators. These are my favorite dehydrators, and they come with Paraflexx reusable non-stick sheets. Thanks for sending them over to me Excalibur! So much love from the community, sponsors have been super generous and include: Excalibur, Sambazon, Earth Circle Organics, Sunfood, Gold Mine Natural Food, Frontier Natural Products Co-Op, Big Tree Farms.
Chef Seth Greenburg at the Huntley Hotel Penthouse Restaurant invited me into his kitchen where he shared with me some of his favorite molecular gastronomy techniques.
Chef Seth and I compressed melons and cucumbers, and put chemicals into water and fruit puree to create popular spheres or 'caviar'. We even made 'noodles'. See what could be done using chemicals got my creative juices flowing thinking about ways to create similar effects without chemicals, and instead 100% natural and raw.
Test Kitchen brings together the best Chefs in LA, and has become much like a think tank where Chefs share their creativity, ideas, and time. Great energy in this space! Chef Christian Page, a locavore sourcing his ingredients locally and seasonally, is to the left of the photo, and is about to open Daily Dose Restaurant in downtown LA in mid Dec.
The weekend before Halloween, Tami Erin and I went to Monster Massive in downtown LA. It's a huge 40,000 person rave. I think it was probably the hugest party I've attended, and it was packed. I won't bother posting up photos of the crowd, just imagine a sea of people dancing up a storm inside a huge sports arena.
You won't normally find me at such a high energy event, but since Moby personally invited me, I wasn't about to miss it. I have to admit, I had a great time. I love dancing, it's one of my favorite pastimes, great exercise, and Moby rocked the house. I've never seen a DJ jump up onto the speakers to dance while spinning records. He had so much energy, a testament to his healthy vegan, whole food, and heavily raw food diet. Moby had the crowd going nuts, they loved him, as we all do.

CRESTVIEW — There is a number of activities scheduled this weekend in North Okaloosa County.
Poker Run
The Iron Order Motorcycle Club of Crestview's 2nd Annual Poker Run on Saturday benefits the Families First Network of Lakeview.
The run starts at Hot Spot Cigars and Coffee, 5155 S. Ferdon Blvd., Crestview, and finishes at Split Oaks Saloon, 892 W. James Lee Blvd.Registration begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at the start site.The cost is $15 per rider, and $5 for an additional poker hand.
We've already seen how the club helps the organization, members said. A large portion of the $1,700 accumulated from last year's fundraiser helped bring 3-year-old Emmanuel Menz back home, according to Families First representative Mary Culbertson.
The boy was kidnapped March 6 from a South Ferdon Boulevard fast food restaurant, according to Crestview police.
Club funds paid for airfare after authorities recovered Emmanuel and his alleged kidnappers in Henderson, Nev. Karl Menz and Virgina Lynch are in custody in connection with the case after an almost month-long search.
"We paid for the social worker to go up there and pick (the boy) up (and bring him back)," David "Pothole" Trafford, event organizer, said.
For Saturday's run, participants can make five stops, select a five-card hand and earn prizes for the best and worst poker hand. During the final stop at Split Oaks Saloon, there will be a raffle, 50-50 auction, live music and food.
In addition, nearly $30,000 worth of prizes, donated by area restaurants and businesses will be available, Trafford said.
Relay For Life
Crestview's American Cancer Society Relay For Life organizers are still accepting last-minute team sign-ups and sponsors for this weekend's main event.
Thirty-seven teams and 269 participants have been raising funds for months with yard sales and other activities in preparation for the main event, which takes place Friday through Saturday, beginning at 6 p.m., at Shoal River Middle School, 3200 E. Redstone Ave., Crestview.
"The American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement symbolizes hope and our shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love," Loney Whitley, the local fundraiser's event co-chair, said.
The event will include an opening ceremony, live music, a luminaria ceremony commemorating those affected by cancer, food, a spirit points competition and closing ceremonies at 6 a.m. Through the event, residents can walk a track in support of fighting cancer and funding research.
Contact event co-chairs Megan Bowersox, 603- 2002, or Loney Whitley, 603-3500, for more details.
Healthy Kids Day
The Crestview YMCA will present health awareness activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at 298 N. Wilson St., Crestview.
Healthy Kids Day will feature a bouncy house and blood donation vehicle; admission is free.
"Healthy Kids Day is the Y's national initiative to improve the health and well-being of families, featuring fun, active play and educational activities to help kids be healthy and reach their full potential," an event spokesperson said.
The event precedes the YMCA's Family Strong Festival, a fundraiser scheduled for 2-5 p.m. Sunday at Old Warrior Ranch, 3229 Audrey Drive, between Auburn and Garden City.
Tickets cost $5 each and are free for children under 3 years old. Tickets are available at the gate or at the YMCA.

KidsPeace believes that it is helpful to our readers to reprint some Healing Magazine articles
that are as relevant today as when they were published in our Magazine. This article appeared in our Spring/Summer 2008 issue of Healing Magazine and was written by a KidsPeace psychologist with many years of experience working with foster children.
Treating Foster Children
for Psychological Issues
By Gerald A. Zimmerman,
Many children are placed in
foster care as a continuing step in helping them and their families readjust
and make changes so they are safe and protected in the home environment. The
placement comes about because the Children and Youth authority learns that the
children were neglected, physically abused, emotionally abused or sexually
abused. Each of these categories has specific definitions. For example,
emotional abuse refers to non-physical, gross maltreatment that results in the
child being humiliated, demeaned or degraded in some way, or failure to respect
the dignity of the child as a worthy human being. The impact of the abuse and
neglect of the child has implications that remain for many years to come.
A child who experiences
neglect will respond in different ways depending on his characteristics. There
are two main types of developing characteristics in children: the active,
outgoing type and the reserved cautious type. Drs. Stella Chess and Alexander Thomas have identified these
children in a comprehensive developmental study of children. Not all children
react the same, and it is the interaction of their environment and their personal
characteristics that results in unique responses. For a neglected child, the
response may be seen in an outgoing, assertive and bold child to take charge of
his experiences and try to prepare meals and comfort the younger children. For
a cautious and fearful child, the response to neglect may be to withdraw and
become anxious and cower in the corner. With long-term neglect, the patterns
become established, and the responses become characteristic of the child, even
after the child is given the opportunity to live in a more stable, predictable
environment. It takes a great deal of time for the child to make changes and

Regardless of the types of
abuse and the child response style, when a child experiences the neglect or
abuse, the effect is to lower the sense of self-worth. If the parent is
unresponsive to the needs (neglect), the child develops a sense of
worthlessness. If the parent is unreliable and inconsistent, the child develops
a sense of the environment as unsafe and experiences anxiety. If the child is
the victim of sexual or physical abuse, the response is often to fear the adult
and to experience the self as weak and ineffective. The different child
characters, however, may react to these experiences in different ways. The
cautious child may become even more nervous and upset and develop mental health
problems, whereas the active child who engages his environment may make
attempts to become more aggressive and controlling and develop behavioral
Children who react to the
inadequacies of parenthood may develop mental health and behavioral
disturbances. The behaviors become routine ways of responding. Some children
may develop a sense of inadequacy, demonstrating a dependency more pronounced
than would be expected typically at their age. The children may vary in
severity of disturbance, but almost all experience some type of difficulty
because of the problems identified in the dysfunctional family.
All children experience a
great deal of transitional stress when they are first contacted by the
children's authority in the county for the purpose of removing them from the
home. It is my experience as a therapist for these children that they usually
vividly remember the details of the day they are removed. Whether the
caseworker comes to the home or the school or the police are involved, the
scene is not good for anyone, but is a necessary step in the protection process
and also begins the healing process. These transitional episodes can leave an
emotional mark on the child, creating apprehension and anxiety, but this is
alleviated to a moderate degree once the child becomes familiar and comfortable
with the foster parent resource.
Despite the slow development
of trust with the new family, behaviors and emotions continue to be present
with the child. Often, the children who reacted in a characteristic way in
their home of origin will begin to react similarly in the new home, meaning
that a child who has become aggressive and demanding in the unstable
environment at home will start doing the same thing in the new environment,
expecting the parents to react in similar ways to their parents' behaviors.
They try to create the environment they knew. It takes a great deal of patience
and experience on the part of the foster parents to help the child through this
period of adjustment, as the child learns that the needs will be met without
these behaviors.
Typical Problems
Signs of problems in
children can be many and varied.
Four categories are identified here:
The anti-social child may
initially present as charming and compliant but, after the shock of the
transition wears off, will become passive-aggressive, manipulative and
resentful and untrusting. He may demonstrate:
• Sadistic behavior and
• Compulsive lying and
• Obsessions about sex
• Seeming lack of empathy or
• Oppositional behaviors
• Defiance
• Controlling behaviors.
An overanxious and insecure
child may demonstrate panic when separated from those who take care of her. She
might show school avoidance, night fears, thoughts about losing a parent and
often ambivalence in the relationship with the caregiver. She may demonstrate
the following:
• School anxiety
• Trouble falling asleep at
• Fear of being alone
• Depression when separated
from a parent
• Worries about illness,
injury or death
• Nightmares with the theme
of loss
• Intense love-hate
relationships with caregivers.
The asocial and withdrawn
child may have become cool and indifferent and show a remarkable lack of
anxiety about his isolation from others. She has developed a thick emotional
barrier to protect herself from hurt from the agony of separation from those
with whom the child has been intimate. The child appears emotionally blunted
and inept socially and may have developed a deep distrust of others. The
characteristic features of this type of child may be seen in:
• Defects in the capacity to
develop relationships
• Lack of strong social
• Lack of concern for
isolation from others
• Few observed needs for
affection and emotional attachments
• Lack of spontaneous
emotional expression
• Oblivious to others
• Lack of self-awareness.
The inadequate/dependent
child clings to caregivers and exhausts the foster parent with unbounded needs.
She can cling to anyone instantly but is usually superficially attached. She requires guidance and constant
attention. The child may be submissive and show no signs of rebellion or a
difference of opinion. She demonstrates very little confidence and may show:
• Insatiable neediness
• Submissiveness
• Learned helplessness and
low self-esteem
• Lack of interest in
negotiating the environment
• Flatness of emotion
• Lack of vitality
• Sense of apathy and
futility, and emotional voids.
There are still other
children who demonstrate a combination of factors, and, as such, their
behaviors may be hard to predict. Children may demonstrate differing degrees of
reactions, with some strong in their reactions and others milder. It is likely
that most children who are placed in care will demonstrate some reaction to the
transition to care and carry over their legacy of responses from the home of
origin. It is the struggle of foster parents to help the child become less
reactive in a negative way and to learn to trust and feel secure, safe and
encouraged to grow through the stages of development to experience self-worth,
confidence and an ability to cope with new stress in a meaningful and effective

When I ordered this, I could not find the size on the ordering page. It is much larger than what I expected. I could not use it where I wanted too. I did find other uses for it but found that I needed more mounting screws than is suggested in instructions. I also had to secure the dividers with zip ties because they would not stay in place the way they were intended too. The price, (even on sale), was a bit much.

Google Maps includes information about toll roads (roads where you have to pay a fee), at least for the US. Chris Maloy, who sent me the tip, says:
"This has been long been missing from Google, but available on most other map services. I like seeing this on the detail, however it would be nice to have on as an indicator on the map, or where the toll booth is (helpful for long toll roads), and finally the cost of the toll."

Update: Setting up the Sonos Play:1 is now easier due to the fact that the Bridge is no longer required.
The Sonos® Play:1 is a wireless audio system that uses your WiFi network to transmit audio to high-quality portable speakers. The Santa Barbara-based company has been producing audio components since 2002, and their new Play:1 demonstrates their experience in the industry. The Play:1 is very compact at only 6.36 by 4.69 inches, but it produces a refined but powerful signal.
The system we received consisted of two Sonos Play:1 wireless speakers and one Sonos Bridge. Available in black or white, Play:1 speakers are $199. The Sonos Bridge comes in white only and is $49.
The Bridge device connects to your router using an Ethernet cord and transmits the wireless audio signal to the speakers. Alternatively, you could plug a Play:1 directly into your router and avoid the need for a Bridge. The Play:1 would then transmit the audio signal to the rest of the Sonos components. Play:1 speakers are humidity-resistant and designed to "survive in the bathroom while you're taking a shower". They can be also be mounted on a wall, allowing you to set them up almost anywhere you want. Audio is sent to the speakers using the Sonos Controller app. The app's appearance could be updated to look more streamlined for iOS 7, but I found it quite navigable.
Setting up the system was relatively straightforward. First, plug the Sonos Bridge into your router, then pair each speaker to the system wirelessly using the Sonos app, which is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. You have to set up each speaker to be in a separate "room" in the app at first, then after that you can indicate you want to pair two speakers to be stereo. If you have any difficulty with setup, don't hesitate to call Sonos support. I've had occasion to contact them in the past and they have been very effective.
When installing the Sonos app on your computer, you will be prompted to register with an email and zip code to add additional features. Then you update the Sonos Library with the music in your iTunes library. That may take a while depending on the size of your library. Then click on the Advanced tab and choose a time of day for your Sonos library to be updated with any changes to your iTunes library.
The speakers are responsive like a sports car, especially when the source is an iTunes library. Pandora sounded wonderful, but not as rock solid as the sound quality with iTunes. The mid-range and high end are beautifully balanced with the bass, resulting in cohesive performance.
A significant drawback is the Play:1 speakers don't have an audio input other than Wi-Fi through the Sonos Controller app. That means the only audio sources that can be used are your iTunes library on your computer including Podcasts, or web services like Pandora, Rhapsody, or Spotify. You cannot get your television, Apple TV, iTunes Radio or iTunes Match to play on the Play:1 system. To play music from your iTunes library, your computer has to be running, and if your iTunes library is on an external hard drive it has to be connected.
For an audiophile on a limited budget, starting with a single Play:1 speaker is definitely a viable option. Currently Sonos is offering a Play:1 Gift Pack for $199 that includes a $49 Bridge for free, plus free shipping. Adding a second one later seems inevitable, but if you have a small living space, one Play:1 would be more that sufficient for many people's needs.
I found that the the Sonos Play:1 speakers provided great audio quality, and would sincerely recommend them to anyone looking for a new audio system, especially as a gift for the holidays.

a affordable audio solution to me is one that is free, not 250.00
If you get a Sons Connect box, that has audio inputs, allowing you to connect other AV gear and stream the sound to the Play 1.
I have a hard time understanding the hype surrounding Sonos, particularly when it has such little compatibility with Apple's ecosystem. This part of the review stuck out for me:
"A significant drawback is the Play:1 speakers don't have an audio input other than Wi-Fi through the Sonos Controller app. That means the only audio sources that can be used are your iTunes library on your computer including Podcasts, or web services like Pandora, Rhapsody, or Spotify. You cannot get your television, Apple TV, iTunes Radio or iTunes Match to play on the Play:1 system. To play music from your iTunes library, your computer has to be running, and if your iTunes library is on an external hard drive it has to be connected."
Why go through all of that trouble? Especially when AirPlay makes it so easy already. No thanks.
The review doesn't mention that you can stream music from most NAS boxes so you can move your music to a NAS and not need a computer running. You can stream music stored on iOS and Android devices directly giving AirPlay like functionality.
If AirPlay is a big part of your world you can get connect an AirPort Express to a Play:5, Connect:Amp or Connect and you will be able to use AirPlay across the whole system on all the speakers at the same time if you like. This is something you can't do with AirPlay alone as that will only send audio to a single device.
@ John Anderson – You're right! In my opinion, this is the Killer App(lication) for a Sonos system. If you have a large library of music files, and (like me) have struggled for years to find a good, seamless way to play music around the house, Sonos is your answer. Trust me, I've tried EVERY possible way to set up my ~500GB music library so that I can listen to it flexibly around the house. I've tried bluetooth receivers to my home stereo, tabletop bluetooth radios like the Bose units, Logitech Airplay units, etc. etc. etc. NOTHING works easily and reliably enough to continue working for my wife and kids while I'm out of town for a couple of days (the ultimate test of any A/V system). With Sonos, I just shared the music library on a Synology NAS (which also hosts all my movies, home video, photo archives, and local backups of all the laptops in the family). I then pointed the Sonos at the shared folder on the NAS and voila – the entire music library is available to any room in the house with a touch of an iPhone, an iPad, or even a Kindle! It just works. Always. Yes, it ain't cheap – $600 for the NAS, A few hundred more for 4 x 3TB drives (but the NAS does a lot more than just music). And then the Sonos equipment. The nice thing about Sonos is you can start out at $200 with a Play:1 (+ free bridge) and then build from there.
For audiophiles, you can connect the Sonos to your existing sound system(s) to feed your music library and enjoy all the benefits of the music library management and streaming content.
Think of Sonos as being three distinct parts: (1) Music Library/Source management (2) Remote controls, and (3) Speaker gear. Of the three, the third is the least significant, IMO but the one that seems to garner the most attention. It may be why some people don't understand the "big deal" about Sonos..
Apple's AirPort Express. $99
Dual-band Wifi, Speaker, Printer. Sounds better to me.
@John S. Wilson
There was an update not that long ago that allowed you to stream music from the device you are using.
For example, with an ipad, iphone or android phone, there is a new menu labeled "This Mobile Device" which will have your music library on your device. Airplay has always been a 1to1 option, and has denied android users. This allows you to stream music from your apple or android phone to multiple units at once. Try get airplay to do that without being complicated :P
The media server part of it (streaming music from a pc or nas drive) is not limited to Itunes. Windows media player servers work, along with MediaMonkey servers. Most NAS drives, or routers with NAS support will also be compatible. Sonos is not an apple exclusive product. They decided to make it usable by anyone, and they have done just that.

How to post a video to YouTube or Facebook from your new iPad
The new iPad has a much improved camera -- so much improved you might even find it convenient to take quick, fun videos to share with family and friends on YouTube and Facebook.
Luckily, iOS and iPad apps make this really easy to do.
How to share an iPad video on YouTube
iOS for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch has YouTube integration built right in, which makes sharing videos you take on your new iPad easier than ever.
- Tap on your Photos app and select the video you'd like to share.
- In the upper right hand corner, click the arrow icon and tap Send to YouTube.
- If you aren't already signed into YouTube, you'll be asked to sign in.
- Next, fill in all the information about your video from the title to description, tags, and category. You can also choose whether you want to upload the standard definition or high definition version. Most will probably want to tap HD. It will take longer to upload though, so if you're in a hurry, standard definition will do.
Your video will begin uploading to your YouTube account automatically. You can close out your Photos app and continue doing other things on your iPad and it will upload quietly in the background. Once it's done you'll get a pop up notification letting you know the upload was completed successfully.
How to share a video on Facebook
To share a video to Facebook you'll need to have the Facebook for iPad app installed first.
Free - Facebook for iPad
Once you've got the free Facebook app installed, you're ready to upload a video (or photo, the process is the same for both).
- Launch the Facebook app from your iPad homescreen.
- Sign in to your Facebook account if you haven't already done so.
- Along the top under the main navigation bar you'll see an icon that says Photo. Tap on it.
- You'll now have the option to either take a new video or select one from your library.
- We will choose to select one from our library. You can, of course, choose to take one instead.
- Navigate through your photos and videos to select the one you'd like to upload and select it.
- You can now add a description to the photo and change a few settings before posting. You don't have to include the following information if you don't want to. If you don't want to change settings, just tap Post in the upper right hand corner.
- If you'd like to tag someone in your photo, click the icon with a person on the left and start typing their name. When they pop up, just tap their name.
- Tap the second icon to add a location to your photo. Tap the location to include it.
- Tap the little gear in the right bottom corner to adjust what people or lists can view your media.
- Once you're done setting everything the way you'd like, just tap Post and you're done!
How to edit your videos before uploading
If you want to edit, add titles or transitions, or otherwise make your videos even more fantastic before uploading, you can do that right on your iPad with either Apple's iMovie or Avid Studio.
Now you know how to share videos to both Facebook and YouTube so you can get out there and start testing out the new camera in your brand new iPad.

The Death certificate from the 1853 Benjamin Shepard says:
We don't yet support collaboration like you're describing. For now, you may consider sharing one account with your wife.
Ugh...you're putting too much pressure on me...lol! I'm a geo bachelor and my wife is in Mass...I'm in MD. Trying to get up there by 16 April!
I suggest you try YouTube Robot which enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert it to various formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, ipad, Pocket PC, PSP, PSV or Zune.
My iPad Facebook app does not give me any option to choose video. Only photos. Why is this?
I am beyond frustrated.
