Cool Shooting Hurts Hawks
- Release Date:

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY – After shooting 46% from the floor in the first half, the Hilbert women's basketball team cooled off after intermission and score only 10 points leading to their 93-35 loss to Penn State Behrend December 8. Behrend's Amy Oldach led all scorers with 20 points after shooting 8-11 in her team- leading 27 minutes. The full court man coverage for a majority of the game was too much pressure for the Hawks as they move to 1-6 on the season and 0-2 in league play. Behrend improves to 4-3 and 2-1.
Hilbert's Julie Bossard and Amber Grosch (Depew, NY/Depew) {in photo to right} were the main scoring threats for the Hawks as both hit for 10 points apiece. Bossard (Arkport, NY/Canisteo-Greenwood) was able to use her long arms to deflect 4 more blocks to add to her record setting total for the season.
On Saturday, December 11, the Hawks travel for their first road AMCC game when they face Pitt-Greensburg at 2pm.

The techniques you showed at the camp were great. My guys love them.
I would strongly recommend this clinic to any judo, sambo, jiu-jitsu or wrestling athlete looking to improve your throwing ability. This is not your standard, "run of the mill" throwing clinic. Aaron showed me throws and variants of throws that I have never seen and that's after 38 years of judo and 25 years of sambo

You bet, zero is fine. You'll have a great time.
I will show high flying stuff, as well as low impact takedowns.
In addition, for anyone coming from out of town if you inclined to stay in Seattle overnight, consider yourself welcome to Sunday's practice.
If there is enough folks headed this way, I would be happy to open up a special practice session for the out-of-towners.

As someone who was at the camp and saw the Mongolian techniques first hand, I have to second what Dynamo said. These techniques are great and I actually used one of them in no gi a week ago. Thanks for showing the technique, Aaron. I wish I could be in Washington for this seminar to work this stuff some more.

Okay I will try again! Just posting and poof it all went away!
I worked on my rose a bit more but not sure I improved it! then started on the reading boy. rubbed him out several times and could not get a likeness. his head has shrunk again as I paint him so lots more work needed.
Rose 5x5 oil
boy 11x14 oil. I could have done the boy better in pastel but as I had the oils out ........!
Jen C & C's always welcome
Thank you Jen, Carol and Bonnie for your nice comments.
Carol, no problem if you post something late. Most people who follow this thread get notified when somebody post and we will see it even if posted later.
Jen, love your rose, you did great on the darks. Only thing I'm missing are the highlights you had painted on the first post of your rose.
Jen the studio you go to is huge. This looks like a great place. We have nothing like this over here. The boy reading is a tricky subject, I see a likeness, but you do so well fixing all your problems. I'm sure this is gonna be another one of your beautiful paintings.
C&C always welcome
Hello Jen,
rose much improved...more tonal depth defines the petals.
Agree with the comments on the studio I paint in my kitchen or outdoors
Seated boy coming along
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Hello Claudia,
very good drawing of the kitten and hand, sensitive observation.
I tried to post this c/c yesterday but it was refused.....I now see why, there must have been a traffic jam of uploads at the time! Sheer coincidence
Thank you Sarah, I was realy surprised myself that I was able to draw the hands well.
Thanks Claudia and Sarah, I agree about the highlights on the rose.. I have a lot of work to do on the boy.
Our studio is the upstairs in an old Army barrack. Lots of room and light and perfect for art. A group of us share it as a co- op and it works well. You get a lot of energy from fellow artists. Sometimes I like being there by myself too. We all have a key so we can come and go as we like. We just share cleaning ( toilets and floors) we have painted together for years so get on well. We have resident ghosts that bang doors and sometimes we hear men talking but they don't bother us!
Trying to catch up again. Seems that's all I'm doing these days. I'm really sorry about needing to give the April Challenge hosting position to someone else and will eventually have my turn at it. Thank you all for being so flexible.
Jen...The Roman soldier looks great and I like the strong lines you've put into it. The shield looks really well done. I also like your rose. The colors in that are beautiful! The beginnings of the boy in the window looks promising and what a great place to do your art!
Carol...The door knocker study is a nice one and really looks like the photo! Door knockers are fun to do.
Claudia...Your kitten painting is just so sweet and really, really well done too!
Catherine Brown
C&C's are welcome.
(No digital alterations please)
I'm posting the only other work I've had a chance to do this month. Both are in the 9x9 inch multimedia sketch book done by drawing and then putting watercolor onto the drawing. This interior watercolor sketch is a little dirty but I was focusing on trying to hold the light and see how the light changed the colors as it shined on them. I've not really done an interior drawing before and there is a definite set of challenges.
Thank you Claudia for hosting the February Challenge. The photos were wonderful and it was interesting to see all the places you call home.
A few of my favourite things in my home...acrylic on canvas board
Catherine, I think you managed the challenges of the interior water color very well. I like that you also put the table on the side and the shiny floor comes out well.
The studies of the stuffed animals are so detailed, the fabric studies are super. You studied that subject so intense and when you do your final painting this will pay off. Hope you will show us your masterpiece then.
You're very welcome, hosting was fun and I'm happy that so many nice pieces of art came out of the theme. I will post the gallery hopefully tomorrow.
Sarah, This is a wonderful piece, I love all colours of the glas.beautiful!!!
NO time to post, but did want to say a HUGE thank you to Claudia for hosting a great challenge this month... Wonderful job...
Christine: great job perfect....
Sarah: great job
Jen : I always love your studies...
It would be nice if we messed up we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over
C & C Always Welcome
Catherine, well done with both studies. You nailed the perspective and shadows on the window and you have used good observation on the clothing. Keep doing these studies and you will learn a lot. Hope you have time to join in the challenges even though work is taking a bite out of your time.
Sarah, always fun to paint glass with all the varies reflections and you do them so well!
You will be pleased to know that Karen has volunteered to take over the April challenge for us. Those that have done it before please give her tips.
Thank you Claudia for doing a splendid job of hosting for your first time. I enjoyed exploring your homeland and will probably come back and do some more. The month was just too short by the time I came out of my slump!
Thank you Claudia, Marsha a Jen......glass has always been a favourite 'challenge' for me' 'reflections - shadows-and all those colours!
I want to say a big thank you to Claudia as well for all the inspirational references and for being a caring hostess.

1. San Luis Obispo, Calif.
It isn't easy to define the best weather locations for retirees, because everyone's interpretation of ideal weather isn't the same. Some want to spend their golden years soaking up the sun, while others prefer a place where they can be near ski slopes. That said, if you're looking for what most of us would consider pleasant weather—places with the most sunshine, low amounts of rain or snow, fewest days below 32 degrees or above 90 degrees and low humidity—these locales came to mind for John Brady, of TopRetirements.com, who assembled a list of the 10 best places to retire if weather is your main concern. Brady also tried to be geographically diverse in his picks. After all, many will want to retire in a place near where they already live or near their children. At the top of the TopRetirements.com list: San Luis Obispo, Calif., a city on the Pacific Coast with an average January temperature in the low to mid 50s and an average July temperature in the high 60s. While you can expect rain from December to February, there are clear skies for most of the rest of the year. "We chose San Luis Obispo, but the fact is almost any California city would qualify as a great weather retirement city," Brady said.
2. Las Cruces, N.M.
The high altitude of Las Cruces helps to moderate the city's temperatures throughout the year, and its dry climate is a plus for people who can't stand humidity. In putting together the TopRetirements.com list, Brady also considered the Milken Institute's Best Cities for Successful Aging project; Las Cruces placed No. 17 of small metropolitan areas when ranked by weather on Milken's list. Retirees there also have the benefit of living near New Mexico State University.
3. Medford, Ore.
Oregon might have a reputation as a rainy state, but the farther you get from the coast, the drier it gets. Medford ranks No. 12 on Milken's list. The climate is ideal for the growing of fruit, and Harry and David, the mail-order fruit and gourmet foods company, is one of the biggest local companies based there.
4. Carson City, Nev.
Carson City is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills, and nearby Lake Tahoe is an attraction for those interested in recreational activities. Nevada doesn't have a state income tax, which can also be a plus for residents, Brady said.
5. Sequim, Wash.
It's called the "blue hole," so nicknamed by airline pilots because it's often the only cloudless spot in the region. The city only gets about 14 inches of rain a year, about the same as Los Angeles. It's a haven for outdoor recreation as well as boating on Puget Sound.
6. Key West, Fla.
It's the only frost-free city in the continental U.S., and ranked No. 10 on the Camelot Index, a ranking of locations based on climates that are sunny and mild, with few extremes in temperature, humidity or precipitation. While there is some summer humidity in Key West, the temperature range in the summer is within a small band, Brady said. People who relocate here tend to also appreciate its Victorian homes and island atmosphere.
7. Lake Charles, La.
Winter temperatures are warm in this Southwestern Louisiana city, located on Lake Charles, Prien Lake and the Calcasieu River. It ranks No. 20 on the Milken list, the highest-ranked city of any in the central or eastern United States. One downside: its high humidity.
8. Prescott, Ariz.
It's hot in many parts of Arizona, but weather in the northern part of the state, where cities are higher above sea level—including Prescott, Sedona and Flagstaff—isn't quite as toasty. Prescott is a popular place with retirees, earning a No. 27 spot on the Milken list. Hot spots include Whiskey Row, at left, where numerous saloons once lined the street.
9. St. Marys, Ga.
This southern Georgia town, not far from Savannah and just above Jacksonville, Fla., is home to a U.S. Navy submarine base, and is popular with military retirees. Its location near the coast means moderate temperatures year round, and easy access to the beaches and Georgia's Sea Island. At left, the Cumberland Island National Seashore, adjacent to St. Marys.
10. Asheville, N.C.
Asheville is a good choice for retirees who still want to experience the four seasons—in moderation. The average July high is 84 degrees and the average January low is 27 degrees, Brady wrote. While its location in the Carolina's western mountains gives Asheville a touch of winter, it also helps cool down the city in the summer. Honorable mentions: Other cities that came close to making TopRetirements.com's list: Blacksburg, Va.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; San Angelo, Midland or Odessa, Texas; Florence, S.C.; and Hattiesburg, Miss.

New Senior Vice President of Retail and Online Stores Angela Ahrendts is continuing her Apple debut tour this week. The former Burberry Chief Executive Officer today toured through Apple's many stores in the New York City area and she also held a question-and-answer session with select Apple Retail Store managers earlier this week week. Ahrendts today sent a memo with a transcript of some of the Q&A points to all retail employees, and a full copy of that transcript, sent in by a source, is below:
Question 1: How can we become better ambassadors of the company as the face of Apple?
Answer: We are all ambassadors of the company and staying in tune with our message is key to our success. Be involved and be astute about what's going on inside and outside of our stores. Look at Apple's website every day, and browse the Apple Online Store on a regular basis. Experience our new marketing and advertising by watching our new ad campaigns. Be aware of our earnings results, and watch our key events, like WWDC. These are external messages our customers see and hear about our brand, so we must stay attuned to the things that engage and entertain them. Retail employees comprise more than half of our total Apple population. As you build relationships with our customers, you are also building loyalty to the company. I love the last line of our Credo," We are at our best when we deliver enriching experiences that help owners of our products get more of our technology and of themselves." You bring this to life and by doing this we get the brand out there in the most compelling way.
Question 2: What can the online store and the offline retail stores learn from one another and how are they connecting?
Answer: The online store and retail stores are already connecting and learning from one another. Cross functional teams are meeting and gaining incredible insights into the changing customer journey, and how together we can Convince, Care, Customize, and Contribute as one team. There is more and more party in the images and look between our offline and online stores. We must know that 80% of the time, our customer journey begins online and we must evolve to ensure we support this preference.
Question 3: What has touched and changed you so far? Have there been any growing pains since you've started?
Answer: What has touched and changed me so far is the brilliant balance between the creative and the commercial that the company has maintained as it has grown so dramatically. I was slightly concerned at first that as a right-brain/left-brain leader, I wouldn't fit into a technology company. I have realized, however, there is an unbelievable culture here that values leadership, marketing, and customer skills as I do. Everyone has been warm and welcoming, passionate, and compassionate, so my only growing pains have been to learn how to quickly navigate such a large and complex organization.
Question 4: Tell us more about Angela, the person.
Answer: Lastly, I am not sure if there are personal facts I can share that aren't already in the public domain, but I'm so proud that my husband and I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary next month. We have three amazing teens, two wonderful Bernese mountain dogs, and two beautiful rag doll cats who will soon make their journey to San Francisco.
Ahrendts ends her note to employees today by further reflecting on her first three months at Apple. "What an amazing 90 days it has been! I sincerely am honored to be here with you on this fantastic journey," she told employees. These answers to employee questions come a few weeks after Ahrendts emailed retail employees regarding her start at Apple and some teases regarding her plans for the future of retail. Ahrendts has also been communicating with the public by way of frequent posts on LinkedIn. Ahrendts, as we first detailed, has also confided in select Apple executives and store managers in regards to her plans for the future of retail, which will focus on mobile payment technologies, a renewed spotlight on China, and a new end-to-end customer experience online and offline.
In addition to the aforementioned memo, Ahrendts today took a tour of Apple's New York City-area Apple Retail Stores. I noted on Twitter this morning that Ahrendts will be touring New York Apple Stores, and our own Seth Weintraub happened to be at the Grand Central Apple Store for his now almost-monthly Retina MacBook Pro repair session at the Genius Bar. Sure enough, Seth spotted Ahrendts in the store at around 3:00 PM, and he saw her greet the workers and learn more about the store for the next half an hour or so. In addition to the above photos, here are a couple of videos Seth recorded at the store of Ahrendts's tour:
Seth says that "Ahrendts seemed genuinely interested in how the store worked and especially how it was set up." This is, of course, a large departure from previous retail head John Browett, who seems to have mostly focused on cutting costs, laying off employees, and not apologizing.
Looking ahead, Ahrendts is overseeing various other new store openings across America, Europe, and China.

I'd love to ask her why as a former CEO did she, in effect, step backwards in status to work for someone else's CEO ? What does she get from this move, what does Apple get ?
Angela has a great name. :–)
Unfortunately it appears that even though you own Apple stock, you really have no idea how companies work. I find it a shame when people buy stocks and shares without having an appreciation of a company's inner workings i.e. a companies mission and strategy.
So, firstly, let start by looking at Apple's mission. Apple's mission can be described as "to make products that just work and offer the customer the best user experience". As you can see, Apples mission can thus be subdivided into two parts that are independent but also co-dependent: to make products that work, and to offer the customer the best experience. For the latter, "offering the customer the best experience", this includes an customers experience on the phone itself, but also includes (perhaps to a greater extent) the customers experience in store. This is where Angela comes into play. Angela was not employed for the making of products that work; she was employed for offering customers the best user experience in store. Her forte is marketing, branding and customer experience, as such, she fits in really well as Senior Vice President
Retail and Online Stores. Apple were likely attracted to her because in the 6 yrs she was with Burberry, she grew the company value from $2Billion to $7Billion. She therefore has extensive experience in how to successfully market, brand and improve customer experience. This is why Angela is the best person for the job.
As for your sexist sentiment, it makes me sad that there are still people like you out there in today's society. I think you'll find that women add just as much value to the workforce as men do, but unfortunately the prejudice of people like you undermines them from getting fairer wages/ career progression. You really need to reassess your gender bias, as it is really outdated and out of touch with society. Luckily, whether you change your sexist views or not, the world is increasingly accepting women's contributed to society; a case in point is for example the fact that in 2012 Angela (the same one as above) was the highest paid CEO in the UK!
Please try and educate yourself about a companies mission and strategy before a) buying stocks and b) airing out pointless drivel about your sexist sentiment.

I'll give credit where credit is due. Dwight Howard didn't drag this "Dwight Howard Sweepstakes" along like a certain superstar once did.
During this 2013 offseason, free agency basically surfaced around one particular name. It wasn't dramatized like the "Lebron James Rush" in 2010. Yet, still it drew a hand full of teams who essentially put their offseason on hold.
Howard finally picked the Houston Rockets, but that's not the only party who won with this pick. Let's dissect this carefully and see who really won or lost in all of this hoopla.

While hurricane, tornado and earthquake drills are part of the norm at schools, it was another that captivated Cane Bay Middle on Thursday morning: an active shooter drill.
The scene featured simulated shooting with unloaded guns, fire trucks, ambulances and over a dozen police vehicles filing into the front of the building. Berkeley County Safety and Security Office Tim Knight said that simulating the intensity of a real situation is imperative.
"It's difficult because you can only simulate everything so far," he said. "We put makeup on the victims to simulate wounds, we have uniformed law personnel doing room-to-room check with unloaded firearms, the more realistic the better."
Multiple simulated gunmen, played by police officers, entered the school. The first one "shot" a PE student and teacher, taking the key to the school and entering the side. The next assailant acted as a parent, shot the front office attendant, then preceded to the school. A total of three students and two faculty members were simulated casualties of the drill.
Officers from the Berkeley County Sherriff's Office, Goose Creek police force and the Charleston force all entered the school and apprehended the perpetrators. CBMS Principal Deon Jackson hopes the drill has helped the faculty and parents feel more protected.
"It's certainly my hope for the staff is now more prepared and the parents are more secure," he said.
With eight fatal school shootings in the U.S. since the start of the 2012-13 school year, including the Dec.14 massacre in Newtown, Conn., the need for awareness is pressing, said Knight.
"These types of critical incidents at school with gunmen who have the intent to hurt people have increased," Knight said. "We want to work more with the law and prepare for if, God forbid, one happens."
Each year a school is selected to be the host of the training exercise. Jackson said the school is fortunate to be selected.

MBA for Professionals Student Handbook - Requests for Exceptions
Requests for Exceptions to Academic Policies or Procedures
Students requesting an exception to academic policies or procedures must submit a written request and rationale for the request. The proposal should be directed to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission (email email@example.com) for review. The following are required of all written proposals.
- The student must explain the request in detail
- The student must provide information about any discussion or tentative agreements that may have occurred between the student and a faculty member (if any)
- If a tentative agreement has already been made with a faculty member, the student must provide the signature of the faculty member involved or the faculty member must send an email directly to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission discussing their level of support for the proposal and any other comments or suggestions
- The student must state a clear rationale for the request as to why it is the best alternative for their educational and career goals
If the proposal is not approved, the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission will notify the student via email.
If the proposal is tentatively approved, the student must complete an interview (in person or on the telephone) with the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission to discuss the implications and regulations governing the requested exception and any future implications of the exception.
Following the interview, the student must sign in writing that they understand and accept the exception that has been made and the conditions and regulations governing the exception. The signature is required for the exception to be implemented. Failure to provide a written statement accepting the conditions and regulations governing an exception voids any tentatively approved exception to policy or procedures.

Billing for Clinical Services
Local health departments are facing shrinking federal, state and local budgets. Although public health has traditionally been free, the cost of providing preventive and clinical services such as immunization as well as HIV, STI, and TB testing has been growing for health departments. LHDs play an integral role in the changing landscape of the Affordable Care Act and will continue to provide services for their community.
Billing for Clinical Services: Health Department Strategies for Overcoming Barriers
NACCHO recently released the issue brief titled, Billing for Clinical Services: Health Department Strategies for Overcoming Barriers. This brief focuses on billing for clinical services at LHDs and examines the current landscape, what NACCHO is doing to support LHDs, barriers to third-party reimbursement, and strategies overcome these challenges.
In the Spotlight
Billing Task Analysis Resource
NACCHO and CDC partners developed a Billing Task Analysis Resource to help health departments (HDs) that have varying degrees of knowledge or experience with billing 1) understand the general capacity building process and considerations and 2) easily access tools in the Billing for Clinical Services Toolkit that best meets their informational needs. You can find the Billing Task Analysis Resource here.
NACCHO's Billing for Clinical Services Toolkit
NACCHO was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create a toolkit with resources, templates, and tools for local health departments to use and develop capacity to bill third party payers for immunization, STD, TB and HIV, and other clinical services. Close to 300 resources have currently been collected from state billing guides, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, state health departments, local health departments, insurance companies, and vendors of products such as electronic medical records and billing clearinghouses.

Billing Training Opportunities
Upcoming WebinarsNational STD Services Billing and Reimbursement Toolkit: What's in it for me?
On October 9 at 11:00 AM ET CDC's Learning Hour Webinar will introduce the National STD Services Billing & Reimbursement Toolkit that houses step-by-step instructions and ready-to-use templates for forms, patient materials, and policies. Tools and resources are available for all stages of billing implementation for STD clinical and laboratory services. The toolkit can help with these questions and many more facing clinic and lab staff with the transition to third-party billing. Click here for more information.
Recent Webinars
Third-Party Billing for Public Health STD Services: A Summary of Coordinated Needs Assessment
The STD-related Reproductive Health, Prevention, Training, and Technical Assistance Centers (STDRHPTTACs) recently released a report based on a needs assessment conducted on third party billing for public health STD Services. Family Planning Council and JSI Research and Training Institute will host a webinar on Wednesday, February 26th at 1 PM ET that will provide participants with an overview of national data collected to determine the current status and capacity for billing for STD services, training and technical assistance needs for STD-certified 340B clinics, state or project area STD programs, and state public health laboratories.
Call in and registration information will be sent via email and posted to DSTDP's Webinars page soon and the webinar will be recorded and archived by March 5th.
NACCHO's Becoming an In-Network Provider: The Health Department Perspective
The public health system is transforming due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the decline in federal and state discretionary funds. Public health departments have started to seek alternative sources of revenue to continue providing services in their community. Many health departments are exploring billing for clinical services provided and are trying to become a contracted in-network provider with health plans.
NACCHO hosted a webinar titled "Becoming an In-Network Provider: The Health Department Perspective" where speakers from Mississippi, New York, and North Dakota shared their contracting experiences. The recording from this webinar is available here and you can find the slides here. Answers to the Q and A section are available here.
Billing News and Journal Articles
Peer Networking Opportunities
The Improving Reimbursement for Health Department Clinics Community of Practice is an online collaboration tool hosted by phConnect.org that allows members to access expertise and share experiences, success stories, tools, and ways of addressing barriers in planning and implementing billing projects.
The community is open to any program and/or organization interested in billing, and the following documents will explain how to join and how to use the community.

Sat, May 26th, 2012, 11am to 11.45am PST – we will be broadcasting LIVE! (as long as the internet connection is strong enough)
Join me for this LIVE netcast celebrating my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast". This event is being broadcast from 11 to 11.45am PST on Sat May 26th, 2012 from San Francisco, CA.
Please stop by if you're in the SF embarcadero area:
I'm starting to netcast for the first time again since I conceived of and executive produced 'Fiber' back in 1995, before ISDN or T1 were available! 'Fiber' was the World's 1st online fashion show event ever, and it was broadcast over copper phone lines to the Mbone at UC Berkeley, CA, and then out to the world!
Thanks for joining me here and for helping me celebrate my newest book "Ani's 15-Day Fat Blast"! Love you all xo, ani
New Year's Day 2012 I took a trip out to Pasadena's Rose Bowl to help with the Donate Life float for the Rose Parade, which was on Jan 2nd this year. Donate Life is an amazing organization that raises awareness so we stick that pink dot onto our driver's license, to help save lives by being an organ donor. My dad was a kidney recipient, so this organization rings very close to my heart.
This is the beautiful finished float. The folks sitting on it are the stars of the show…family members of donors from 2011. The stories I heard yesterday were so moving, and I broke into tears numerous times. One woman's 9-year old daughter had gone to the hospital for an ear infection. The hospital misdiagnosed and mistreated her (not uncommon), and she died. Her mom was proud to share how her daughter lives on in others, literally, and that her daughter has saved many lives by being a donor. You can see the portraits of each donor on 6 clock faces, a total of 72 donors are honored.
My good friend Vicky is a 'red jacket' and one of the team leaders on this huge project. She's been here working on the float for weeks from early morning until 11pm. A huge undertaking, whew.
We are all misting the flowers with water before the float is moved outdoors for judging. It was gorgeous in Pasadena, 80 degrees!
Everything on all of the floats in the Rose Parade are all organic! This means only living materials like flowers, leaves, seeds,…all put on by hand.
Look at this detail….mustard seeds painstakingly glued onto the surface. Wow.
Beans and flower petals have all been attached by hand.
This is the bed of roses underneath the clock with the moving hands at the front of the float.
Look closely and you can see each of these red roses has a wish tied onto them.
When the float moved outside into the sun, all the colors popped so brightly! You can see the driver of the float inside the open door. The driver can't see a thing, and is guided by audio by someone outside the float.
At one point, everyone held hands in a circle around the float. It was very moving. And even the judges teared up and cried when they talked with the donor families and heard all the incredible stories. Today, I discovered (since I don't have a TV to watch the parade myself) that our float won one of the top 3 trophies and the craftsmanship award for outstanding showmanship and dramatic impact over 55 feet! Yeah! I also heard that floats cost about a half a million dollars to build! Great exposure and for a wonderful cause.
This was one of the best, most memorable New Year Day's of my life. What a way to spend the 1st day of the new year. Plus, I felt like it was in honor too of my dad, who was so very blessed to have had a kidney transplant, which helped extended his life another 10 or 12 years. I learned that a liver lives for 100 years, so even after someone passes from old age, a liver can be donated to help another person live. Amazing.
I've chosen to be an organ donor for as long as I can remember, and I hope you will also consider joining me in helping save lives so someone else may live one more day! For more information check out Donate Life.

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.
Last night, I was invited to attend the 6th annual NetKal Gala at USC in Los Angeles, CA. I'm wearing my favorite Luxury Eco Designer Linda Loudermilk: gown made of organic silk, sustainable glass bead lace, ring and necklace made from recycled and remnant chain silver. Dorit Genazzani is my favorite makeup and hair artist, and I love how she makes me look beautiful…thanks Dorit!
There were over 500 Koreans and Korean Americans from the entertainment industry at the NetKal Gala, including actors, directors, producers, and studio executives. Jane Cha is Exec Producer for Project Runway, Ken Mok is creator and Exec Producer of America's Next Top Model, and Lisa Ling (below) from Our America on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Kenny G is still going strong, making music and performing. He's my one token non-Asian, and everyone was stoked to see him there. hahaaa
My good friend Namju Cho looks so pretty in her cocktail dress. We met when she interviewed me for a feature in KoreAm Journal.
Food was catered by my friends Pauline Perry, Joanne Purnell, and David Cho at Good Gracious.
Old school friends came down from San Francisco last weekend to host the most wicked day of dance, tunes, and great vibes…and it was the best day I've enjoyed in a while! DJ's Solar (above) and Galen (below) are both Sunset and Pacific Sound crews. (I used to have a multimedia studio back in the day in SF, and we threw a historic NYE party in 1995 together with Sunset). When I lived in SF, all I would do is dance for exercise. It's the best workout ever! Plus, Solar cooks, and of course loves Raw Food!
Here's Galen. These guys still look the same as they did back in the early 90′s! And they put so much love into their music, you can feel it. We agreed dancing, good music, and raves are what keep us young! I was just up in SF a couple months ago, and went to the Sunset boat party hosted on a ferry that sails the Bay from 6 to 11pm. A perfect way to finish off the weekend, always.
Since I'm usually in bed by 10pm, this daytime party in the park was exactly what I needed! The sun was bright and warm in Van Nuys where we all laid out picnic blankets, brought food, and danced up a storm. Galen, Solar, and the Sunset Crew are known for their outdoor parties on Sunday afternoons. They've been hosting them for probably over 20 years now! We'd all end up at Sunset parties after a long weekend. Great way to taper down off the weekend.
Another great thing about partying in the park is that Kanga can join in too! She laid down in the middle of the dance floor early on, and made folks dance around her the rest of the afternoon. She loves to be in the center of everything. She was very popular, and calm, but, …..no parking on the dance floor Kanga!
My lovely lady friends, and Max the dog. Maria's the beautiful blond, and is the talented photographer who took the cover photo on Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Galen spun last, and brought in the sunset while pumping the dance floor. He and Solar both motivated me to go to their after party downtown, which started past midnight, …..and it went to dawn! A Sunset, and then sunrise event! (Small world too because the party ended up in a warehouse space owned by Thomas, who has assisted me in my raw food kitchen!)
Thank you Sunset, Solar, and Galen. Come visit us in LA again soon, and host more outdoor parties for us…please! I miss great SF tunes, the Sunset sound, and vibe. I'd head to SF for their Halloween Boat Party, except Mom's coming to visit me in LA. Thanks for bringing your tunes to LA for us to enjoy! Love you guys! xoxo
This recipe offers another great way to enjoy greens, and boy do I love dehydrated salad! As a matter of fact, that was exactly how I first discovered Kale Chips, back in Portland, OR, in 1995 or so. After a big catering gig, I had so much marinated kale salad remaining, it would have been a shame to throw it out. Usually, I feed leftovers to Kanga, my pooch, but too much kale's been known to make her poot (stinky!). Instead, I put all the salad into my dehydrators, and was stoked by what I found the next morning! Kale Chips!! It makes me happy to see Kale Chips have gone mainstream today. Finally, a healthy snack enjoyed by the masses!
The texture of these chocolate coated collard leaves is much like the texture of dried cashew cheddar, from my traditional Kale Chips on page 110 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials. (Signed copies of Ani's Raw Food Essentials are available at GoSuperLife.com). Delicate mouth feel, and amazing flavors.
Thanks to everyone for being patient with me, waiting for me to post this recipe after I've completed my next book! Enjoy xo
Chocolate Collards
In high-speed blender, blend all ingredients (except collards) until smooth.
Place collard half leaves into a large bowl, pour chocolate sauce over leaves. Coat each leaf completely.
Place leaves in dehydrator at 104 degrees. Dehydrate for 4 to 6 hours, until dry.
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 visited Erewhon Natural Foods in Los Angeles on May 28, 2011 along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. Erewhon is my favorite Raw Food store. These beautiful photos are courtesy of the very talented Sherman Lee at http://www.digitalslimages.com.
Juan Hernandez, the store manager, makes sure to offer the largest range of Raw Food products and brand, and has created the nexus for Raw Foods here in LA. Juan was one of my earliest supporters of my SmartMonkey Foods packaged and prepared foods products.
Each year's visit celebrating my new book always draws a packed house. I love Erewhon!
I showed everyone how easy it is to make my Mushroom "Bul Go Gi", from Ani's Raw Food Asia, page 186, using mushrooms marinated in tamari or nama shoyu (raw soy sauce), toasted sesame oil, asian pear, and sweetener of choice like agave or brown rice syrup. We topped off these beautiful Lettuce Wraps, from page 188, with my version of a traditional Korean Gochujang Sauce, page 225, made with miso, sesame oil, chile powder, and sweetener like agave.
Following my food demo and Q+A…next, I get to sign books and meet people 1 on 1!
This tour, many people had me sign multiple copies of Ani's Raw Food Asia for friends and family. I do love when people bring their entire collection for me to sign too…..a blessing for me.
My friends Ron Gilmore and Caroline Jue create an awesome animated series called Rawman & Green-Girl. They are doing great work educating and sharing information about our food sources.
Elaine R. Johnson hand delivered this beautiful porcelain sculpture she made to me all the way from Arizona with her mom. Elaine is amazingly talented. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for such a beautiful gift.
This is the beautifully talented Elaine R. Johnson. She told me how challenging porcelain is to work with….cracking as it dries, or cracking out of the kiln during baking. A labour of love, it shows!
On May 19. 2011 I got to visit Seattle along my tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. First stop was with host Margaret Larson at King 5 TV's NewDay Northwest Show. Everyone in the studio audience received a copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Next was Evergreen Radio's Kitchen Corner Show where I had a pleasantly challenging conversation with host Jo Ann Henderson. Jo was skeptical at first, but I hope I was able to convince her that raw foods are simply a way to enjoy more whole, fresh, organic ingredients.
At the same time, another pre-recorded radio program aired on Seattle radio where I spoke with host Keesha Ewers on her Healthy You! Radio Show.
By lunch I was hungry for some local raw food treats, and we stopped at Thrive Cafe for a meet-and-great and book signing, and they fed me delicious salad, green juice, and desserts.
Next stop was KOMO Newsradio where we aired during afternoon drive-time traffic. The hosts Herb Weisbaum & Jane Shannon are already into raw foods, and were already making their own kale chips. I love how main stream kale chips have become!
Our final destination for the day was the Woodmark Hotel and Yacht Club in Kirkland, on the lake. This was the view from my room, you can see snow topped mountains in the distance.
The Woodmark Hotel hosted what they call "Happy Hour and a Half". They made 2 recipes from Ani's Raw Food Asia, I gave a talk, answered questions, and then signed books. It was another clear, sunny, dry, warm day in the Seattle. After this final event, I went on a long walk along the lake front. The air was fresh, clean, and crisp. And I felt grateful for all the wonderful people who welcomed me to their beautiful city.
This was the awesome lady who made this day happen for me, Joy. In addition to shuttling me around town, she also hooked me up with a food assistant so that I didn't have to carry all my food, plates, props with me on the airplane! Plus, she kept the car stocked with cut, prepared veggies of all sorts for me to snack on all day long.
This was Joy's assistant Lee, who had shopped for props and ingredients, and helped me prep for my TV appearance. Thank you Joy and Lee!! You've officially spoiled me.
