Comes to mind Greg Jackson puting one of his fighters back out there wasn't a UFC fight were the kid took a beating just because Jackson wouldn't throw in the towel, any body remember the fight?

It was an innocent enough looking screen pass, only it ended up in the hands of Stefon Diggs, the most dynamic player on the field who can score at a side-step's notice. And that's exactly what he would do. The rising sophomore wide receiver for the University of Maryland, College Park hauled in a pass in the flat — the most used and easily the most potent option of Friday's Red-White spring football game— cut back towards the middle of the field and outran the host of red-clad players the remaining 51 yards for the touchdown.
The star was back at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.
Diggs, a graduate from Our Lady of Good Counsel High School who finished with more than 900 return yards and two touchdowns in his inaugural season as a Terrapin last fall, concluded the night with a game-high eight receptions and 158 receiving yards. He amassed more yards through the air Friday — though most of his yards came on catch and runs — himself than the entire Red team combined.
"I had an OK game," Diggs, a member of the White team, said afterwards. "Ricardo [Young] played big, [offensive] line blocked well and we just played as a collective unit on both sides of the ball."
Diggs' score late in the third quarter was a rare crowd-pleaser in an otherwise possession-minded game that included eight punts and six turnovers (three interceptions, three on downs) and finished in a 13-13 tie.
"I thought it was really good tonight," coach Randy Edsall said. "I was very impressed with the effort and intensity and the hitting that took place. The kids really came out and got after it. ... I couldn't be more pleased with what has taken place in the last 15 days we had during the spring. It culminated tonight with a good effort from everyone out here."
Diggs' former teammate at Good Counsel, Zach Dancel, playing for the Red team, put together a solid, all-around day at defensive back during an evening which Edsall said he told his defense to take it easy. Dancel, one of five former Good Counsel players on the active roster, picked off a pass late in the fourth quarter and returned it 21 yards to set up Brad Craddock for the game-tying field goal and added five tackles throughout.
"There were some guys who made individual plays," Edsall said. "[Jeremiah Johnson] made the pick; Zach Dancel made the pick. Some guys had sacks."
Northwest grad and rising senior Marcus Whitfield closed the day leading the team in sacks with three, as many as the entire White squad together. Those numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, however, as the quarterbacks operated under a two-hand touch rule, save for the instances in which Diggs threw a pass on a trick play or Eleanor Roosevelt alumnus Shawn Petty stepped back in under center.
"That's not going to be something that's going to be in our arsenal for the season," Edsall said of Petty playing quarterback.
And, slotted back into his comfortable position at linebacker, Petty appears not to have missed a step in his transition from emergency quarterback to defensive anchor. His 13 tackles more than doubled that of any on the opposing Red team.
"We're definitely getting depth," junior linebacker Cole Farrand said. "Everyone that's on the field wants to play and the second team wants to play. Everyone is fighting for position out here. The intensity was great out here, and it was just a good game."
Cornerback A.J. Hendy is one of the several that Farrand spoke of in fighting for starting spots. The former Bowie High cornerback is currently in the midst of a struggle for the starting safety position opposite Anthony Nixon with Sean Davis. Davis got the start over Hendy on Saturday for the Red team. Hendy finished with four tackles to Davis' three, while Davis had one pass breakup to Hendy's zero.
Former Linganore standout, Joe Riddle, who had a big day at last weekend's scrimmage hosted by Middletown, saw limited action on Saturday, carrying the ball just three times for 13 yards despite Wes Brown — also a Good Counsel grad — sitting out to rehabilitate ankle and labrum injuries. Riddle's first carry went for six yards; his final two combined for seven.
"Overall, I am pleased with what we did and got accomplished," Edsall said. "We have some big things ahead of us for this summer."

Customer review of our Pregnancy Support Band
I love that this belly band supports without being constrictive. It's almost like a tensor bandage for your belly (but not so tight) and has extra support at the front and lower belly, along the sides, and at the lower back. I find it much more comfortable than my BellyBand (and thus I wear it way longer, so it's better overall). I also like that it smooths out the top of my maternity pants (if I wear it over top) so that I don't have that line across my belly showing through my shirts!
Made from 70% polypropylene & 30% spandex.
Made in Canada.

We all use our Macs slightly differently, squirrelling files away in all sorts of obscure locations with, sometimes, less than helpful names or folder organisation.
This is where Alfred comes in, like a knight in shining armour against the mountains of files on your Mac. Below are a few ways to tweak your settings to ensure Alfred is ready to serve YOU.
Setting your default results
If you're looking at your Default Results preference pane and thinking "What is she on about? Searching couldn't be simpler!" And you know what? You'd be half-right. The default settings for Alfred will suit a good portion of users straight out of the box, allowing you to find the bulk of the files you need.
However, if you need him to tend to your every need, you can tweak the settings to reflect this. To create as little noise as possible, choose only the file types you really want to see every time you search, e.g. Applications, Folders and Contacts.
Don't check every box unless you want every document, text file and image for "Spot the dog" every time you start typing "spo…" to launch Spotify.
The default search limits your results to 9 items to be as fast as possible. Want more results? Want a broader search? Keep on reading!
Widening your search scope
By default, the search scope covers the locations where Mac files are usually stored, such as your home folder, Applications folder, etc. However, if you store your files elsewhere, you'll want to use the + button to add the additional paths you need Alfred to include in default searches.
Searching all file types
Now you really are looking for every file and folder relating to Spot the dog, no matter what the file is. You want all those cute doggy photos, videos and stories and you want them NOW!
Hot tip:
Listen carefully. This is one of the Alfred search gems you'll never want to forget once you've used it…
- Use "find" to reveal a file in Finder
- Use "open" (or hit the spacebar) to open a file
- Use "in" to search for the content of files
Like so, with a single tap of the spacebar or the "open" keyword, you can expand the scope of your search without cluttering your everyday search results.
Still need to refine the contents of this broad search? Go to the Features > File Search > Exclusions & Scope tab in the preferences to select the file types you want Alfred to show you. I always hide emails, calendar items and browser history, for example, as I have so many unnecessary noisy results in there.
When using any of the 3 file search keywords, Alfred shows 20 results by default but this can be expanded to 40 in the preferences. Handy!
Working with external drives
You've probably worked out by now that Alfred's a rather accommodating chap and that he'll do everything he can to help you.
He'll be happy to include external volumes in your searches, on two conditions. First, Spotlight must have the drive indexed for search and, secondly, the scope in File Search > Exclusions & Scope must be set to include Everything.
A few more handy tips for fussy naming
Not happy calling a file by its name? Be Alfred's guest and give the file a nickname.
Using Spotlight Comments, you can assign short names or nicknames to applications or files.
For example, I use a developer app called "Instruments" to test Alfred for Memory Leaks, but when it's my own memory that starts leaking, I can't remember the app's name. For this reason, it now has a Spotlight Comment for "leaks", ensuring I find it every time. Go ahead and do the same with your own apps!
In the case of apps, you can also turn on fuzzy matching in the Alfred's Applications preferences, allowing you to use a partial match (e.g. "gc" for Google Chrome) without setting a Spotlight Comment. With Anchored turned on, Alfred will only search from the first character of every word, while turning it off will go more freestyle by showing any fuzzy match.
Hot tip:
Use Spotlight Comments to assign a short name or nickname to a file, or turn on fuzzy matching in the Applications preferences to match on the fly.
What to do if Alfred can't find what you want
Alfred relies on your OS X metadata being healthy. This metadata is maintained by Spotlight and, on very rare occasions, can get out of date or corrupted. We've outlined easy diagnostics steps to follow if this happens.
Want more Alfred tips? Next time, we'll look at the iTunes Mini Player to add a bit of music to your day!
In the meantime, don't forget to check out Anna's Alfred Tips blog, filled with more tricks and tips for using Alfred than you can dream of!

Smoke on the Water: Celebrity judges tasked with choosing best ribsWritten by Joel Sensenig | Managing Editor | email@example.com
Some volunteer opportunities simply rub people the right way.
Consider the rib-judging gig at Smoke on the Water — Ribs for the Red Cross to be near the top of this list.
There, 13 celebrity judges will have the responsibility of determining which combination of meat rub and sauce is the tastiest.
"We have a lot of fun and we get really full," said Brittany Barhite, who serves on the Smoke on the Water — Ribs for the Red Cross committee. "You can't complain about free ribs."
Barhite oversees the Glass Pig award, which is the Judges' Choice honor to be awarded to one of the 11 rib vendors at this year's contest. There is also the People's Choice award, voted on by the public during the weekend event.
Oftentimes, the people and the judges speak the same language when it comes to rubs and sauces. Last year, both awards were won by AJ's Doolittles of Lambertville.
Vying for the Glass Pig and People's Choice awards with AJ's Doolittle's at the 2011 event will be Baldy-Q Rib Shack (Swanton); Big Moe's (Kalamazoo); Deet's BBQ (Maumee); Famous Dave's (Toledo); Po Mo's Ribs (Toledo); Johnson's BBQ (Chesapeake, Va.); Sgt. Oink's (Tiffin); Sidelines Sports Eatery (Toledo and Lambertville); Texas Roadhouse (Toledo); and Twist & Shout 4 BBQ (Carey).
Winners will be announced on- stage at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 7 prior to the John Michael Montgomery concert.
Each of the celebrity judges —members of the media, city government and community organizations — will judge the ribs based on appearance, taste, tenderness, sauce and overall impression.
"We get these huge turkey-roasting tins full of ribs and pass the tins around, one rib vendor at a time," Barhite said, explaining the judges are free to sample as much as they want. "Typically they only take one slab because they know they have at least 12 more slabs to go. That's about all they can handle."
This year's celebrity judges are Toledo Humane Society Executive Director John Dinon; FOX Toledo News anchor Shaun Hegarty; 13abc reporter Tony Geftos; Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller; Glass City Jungle blogger Lisa Renee Ward; 94.5 WXKR's The Morning Show host Mark Benson; Toledo City Councilman Rob Ludeman; Columbia Gas of Ohio Communications and Community Relations Manager Chris Kozak; Toledo Zoo Chief Veterinarian Dr. Chris Hanley; Girl in the Glass City blogger Christine Senack; WTOL morning anchor Jonathan Walsh; K100 DJ Ryan Nutter; and Vicar General of the Catholic Diocese of Toledo Monsignor Michael Billian. Local resident Kevin Kwiatkowski will also be a judge.
Kozak, who is serving as a rib judge for the fourth year, said he relishes the role.
"It's a really amazing thing," Kozak said. "You have a dozen racks sitting there, waiting to try. You don't know which one is from where, each is different and distinct from the next —and they are all outstanding. But you can always tell the winner. It seems to just stand out from the rest and as soon as you try it, you go 'That's the one.'"
Kozak said the judges are aware of the seriousness of their role.
"For the vendors, this is not only their livelihood and career, but barbecue is personal," Kozak said. "You can have wet or dry, Carolina, Memphis or Kansas City style, different cuts of ribs — there's lots of thought, time and effort put into that rack of ribs. So you want to be sure you give each rib equal attention."
Rachel Hepner Zawodny, a former rib judge who now serves as event chairwoman for Smoke on the Water – Ribs for the Red Cross, admits the tasting can get heated, especially for vendors vying for the hardware.
"The rib vendors set up their booths and they'll have all their awards there with them, surrounding their booths," Zawodny said. "That's really what draws in people — the more awards, the more people you might get at the booth. It's definitely competitive for them. They want to be the best, they want to be well-known and they want the recognition to draw people to their restaurant."
In fact, the practice of judging the ribs behind the stage ended when some of the vendors began to question the fairness of the arrangement.
"They said, 'How do we know?' so we said, 'We'll show you,'" Barhite said.
The judging is now conducted under the watchful eye of the public — and vendors.
"The vendors like to display all these huge trophies they get," Barhite said. "They promote it in their restaurant that they were the People's Choice award winner. It really is a big deal for them."
Barhite said Smoke on the Water — Ribs for the Red Cross is great for Toledo for several reasons.
"Not only is it a great fundraising event for the Red Cross, but it also brings camaraderie and excitement to Downtown Toledo," she said. "We get boaters coming in on the water; you have all the people coming Downtown for three days. It's just really nice to have an event in Downtown Toledo and see the park filled, people listening to music and enjoying the ribs. It's just real nice to be a part of that."

An intrepid explorer and brilliant naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace co-published the theory of evolution by natural selection with Charles Darwin. So why isn't he as well known?
Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913).
Alfred Russel Wallace was a man of many talents - an explorer, collector, naturalist, geographer, anthropologist and political commentator. Most famously, he had the revolutionary idea of evolution by natural selection entirely independently of Charles Darwin.
This ground-breaking theory changed the way we understand the natural world, and ourselves. But Wallace's remarkable accomplishments are not as appreciated today as they were in his own lifetime.
In this video Museum curator George Beccaloni tells us about two of Wallace's intrepid collecting expeditions and how he went on to discover the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Wallace was one of the most prolific collectors of natural history specimens of all time. His collecting trips often lasted for years, but did not always have a happy ending, as George explains.
For a more detailed look at his work and life read Wallace's biography on the Work and Timeline sections. Discover who sparked his interest in the natural world and more about his huge contribution to science.

Wallace was born in Usk, now in Monmouthshire, in 1823. After leaving school he worked at his brother's surveying firm until he was hired as a teacher in Leicester in 1844. That year he formed a friendship with a local man and keen naturalist, Henry Walter Bates, which was to bring unexpected opportunities.
Bates introduced an enthusiastic Wallace to the methods and delights of collecting beetles. Four years later, the two men decided to leave England's green shores and head to South America. They were drawn to this fascinating continent by two books: Charles Darwin's report of his voyage on the Beagle, and the explorer Alexander von Humboldt's account of his journeys there.
Wallace and Bates arrived in Brazil, at the mouth of the Amazon, in 1848. Their aim, inspired by their enthusiasm for studying nature, was to investigate the origin of species. They planned to finance the trip by collecting specimens and selling them. In order to cover more ground, the two men split up. Wallace went north by river, collecting in areas previously unexplored by European naturalists. He amassed thousands of unique and exciting animal specimens, mostly birds, beetles and butterflies.
After more than four years collecting, Wallace booked passage and sailed back to England, but disaster struck on the high seas. The ship caught fire and sank along with virtually all his specimens and diaries. Fortunately the crew and passengers were rescued by a passing ship in the mid-Atlantic.
Undaunted, Wallace started planning his next collecting expedition almost immediately. Within a year he left England again and set sail for the Far East.
Wallace began his travels through the Malay Archipelago (now Malaysia and Indonesia) in 1854. Over a period of eight years, he accumulated an astonishing total of 125,660 specimens, including more than 5,000 species new to science.
Wallace noticed a striking pattern in the distribution of animals around the archipelago. He proposed an imaginary line dividing the region in two major parts. Later known as Wallace's line, this marked the boundary between the animal life of the Australian region and that of Asia.
On returning home, Wallace published a travel book, The Malay Archipelago. His vivid account of the beautiful, undisturbed islands opened up a whole new world to readers. Highlights include his colourful descriptions of birds of paradise and orang-utans, and encounters with native peoples.
'In this archipelago there are two distinct faunas… yet there is nothing on the map or on the face of the islands to mark their limits' (From a letter in which Wallace describes the line that would eventually be named after him)
One day in 1858, while feverish and confined to his hut on the island of Ternate (now in Indonesia), Wallace had a flash of inspiration. He realised how species evolved - they changed because the fittest individuals survived and reproduced, passing their advantageous characteristics on to their offspring. Wallace immediately wrote to someone he knew was interested in the subject, Charles Darwin.
Darwin had been working on the very same theory for twenty years, but was yet to publish. He sought the advice of his friends, who determined that the ideas of both men would be presented at a meeting of the Linnean Society. Darwin's masterpiece, The Origin of Species, came out the following year.
From that time on, Darwin overshadowed Wallace and it has usually been his name alone associated with the theory of evolution by natural selection. But Wallace expressed no resentment at this, and in fact he was Darwin's greatest fan. His role in the matter, and Darwin's support, ensured his entry to the highest ranks of the scientific establishment.
'He could not have made a better short abstract! Even his terms now stand as heads of my chapters!' (Charles Darwin)
Wallace and Darwin did not agree on everything. Wallace, to the discomfort of many contemporaries, was a spiritualist. He believed that natural selection could not explain the human intellect, and that the human spirit persisted after death. A tireless thinker, he wrote widely on this and other diverse topics including land ownership, workers' rights, law, economics and museums. By the time of his death, Wallace had written more than 20 books and over 1,000 articles and published letters. Wallace, unlike Darwin, is not a household name but increasingly his outstanding achievements are receiving the acclaim they deserve.

I am interested in looking at the drawings of your system. I cant afford the prices asked for the commercially available ones. I would rather build my own. I have finished a few 80 percent lowers now I need another challenge.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber barons cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.- C.S.

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
I went down to Little Saigon in Orange County to celebrate Lunar New Year, Vietnamese style. Here I'm being fitted for my dress. Traditional Vietnamese dresses are called Ao Dai.
These dresses are super flattering with high side openings and wide, silky, flowing pants.
Next stop is the Vietnamese New Year Festival, where I found a baby cherimoya tree.
This marketplace made me feel like I was in SE Asia, except it was much colder here in California. Tons of tropical fruit like rombutan, cherimoya, and jackfruit. Yummy!
These magnolias are so pretty!
There were so many varieties of orchids at the Lunar New Year Festival. Check out the bulbous orchids at the top of this photo, hanging down.
It's the Year of the Dragon. And, no Lunar New Year Celebration is complete without dragon dancers. These Vietnamese dragons, aka lion dragons, are made up of 2 people, while the Chinese dragons are much longer.
There were 4 different lion dragons in different colors. People were feeding the lion dragons 'lucky' dollar bills to ensure good luck and fortune for the new Lunar New Year.
And last but not least….. fresh durian! Here my friend and I are driving and eating durian in the car. We actually think durian smells good! Sweet and delicious. I guess I can only be friends with people that love durian too. Hahaa.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year that's filled with tons of love, bliss, health, and prosperity. May we all choose to live long and be happy! xoxo
dineLA is an exciting 2-week dining event created by the Los Angeles Convention and Visitor Bureau (aka LA, INC) to introduce diners to hundreds of neighborhood restaurants throughout Los Angeles County. LA's a huge county full of many great spots for food and drink. So, to help filter through over 300 participating restaurants, dineLA's invited me to call out a few restaurants offering vegetarian dineLA menu items. I live in West Hollywood, so most of my recommendations are for spots in my area.
For dineLA, participating restaurants offer a fixed 3-course menu for lunch and/or dinner…a great way to taste popular dishes. If a restaurant offers only 1 or 2 vegetarian items on their dineLA menu, many will let you order just those vegetarian items, so do ask. You'll also find a few vegan and almost raw items too.
With so many great dineLA restaurants, it was challenging to choose just 10! Here's a few vegetarian items to look for. If you prefer vegan, ask to leave off the dairy. It's that simple. Click each link below to view their dineLA menu:
:: Check out photos from the dineLA Kickoff Celebration at the W Hotel in Westwood last week with my Exec Chef friends.

dineLA Restaurant Week is a 2-week dining event created by the Los Angeles Convention and Visitor Bureau (aka LA, inc) to introduce diners to hundreds of neighborhood restaurants throughout Los Angeles County.
:: Check out my dineLA Vegetarian Roundup – my top 10 picks for restaurants who have vegetarian and even vegan items on their dineLA menus.
To celebrate, dineLA hosted a party at the W Hotel in Westwood last week on Jan 11th, 2012 with flowing scotch, champagne, beer, and wine. Though I've taken a break from drinking, I had to have just one scotch because it was Highland Park 12 year, neat with one ice cubes on the side please.
Chef Jason Fullilove from The Tar Pit has the best last name ever! He may look familiar because he was on the 1st episode of Chef Hunter on Food Network last month. Keep a look out, as he'll soon be on Cooking Channel too. Finally, diversity on TV, yeah! Chef Jason's food is yummy. For dineLA, you will find 2 vegan dishes on his vegetarian menu including a Roasted Vegetable Terrine, Winter Root Vegetable Pasta, and a choice of 3 decadent desserts.
Executive Chef Chris Morningstar from Ray's and Stark Bar, hailed by Esquire Magazine as "One of the best new restaurants of 2011″. Bravo Chef Chris! Chris and I first met while we were both preparing for our Test Kitchen dinners as Chris' dinner was the night following my 2-nights of Ani Phyo's Gastrawnomique. His menu was completely opposite mine….all animal products vs. my vegan raw. I get a kick out of the fact his last name, Morningstar….it's the brand name of popular vegan and vegetarian breakfast sausages….though Chris' expertise is with meat. Ray's and Stark Bar is a Patina group restaurant, and I was super stoked when Chris told me his boss and Master Chef Joachim Splichal had given him a copy of Ani's Raw Food Essentials to use while creating menus and recipes for Google campus.
Exec Chef and owner Kerry Simon from Simon L.A. is offering several vegetarian items on his lunch and dinner dineLA menus including Market Roasted Vegetable Kale Salad, Fennel Pollen, Sherry Vinaigrette (I love kale!), Spinach Salad with Dates and Persimmon, plus desserts that look amazing like a House Made Kit Kat. Yum! Chef Kerry is very accommodating, is happy to let you order items from the dineLA menu, plus is fine with you making substitutions and requests. So just ask, and you shall receive!
dineLA asked artist Phil Lumbang to illustrate chef characters that were being silk screened onto canvas dineLA bags for everyone. What a fun idea, and very cool bag. Chef Chris Morningstar had a character screened onto his chef jacket, super cute!
Shana Wong (LA Magazine), William Karz (LA, inc), Shelley Leopold (LA Weekly), and I watching the screening of characters onto the canvas bags.
Our hostess Stacey Sun is red. She makes dineLA happen. Thanks Stacey! Excited to check out new restaurants beginning next week!

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.
This was the beautiful view of the rose gardens as we arrived at the NetKal Gala event….. gathering of Asian Americans in entertainment.
Styled by my favorite fashion designer Linda Loudermilk of all time, plus…she's all about luxury eco! Makeup and hair by the best artist ever, Dorit Genazzani.
The beautiful Lisa Ling (Oprah Winfrey Network, Our America) and her husband Dr. Paul Song.
Bryan Tee from Fast and the Furious. I can count all of 2 Asian actors in film. At least they're representing! Yeah.
From the TV show Dexter, actor C.S. Lee. Okay, this makes 2 Asian actors…one TV, one film, so far. I can think of one more Asian male from TV. Hopefully, you can too.
The NetKal Gala was held at USC at the Annenberg Center.
The event was catered by my friends at Good Gracious Catering. I met Pauline and Joanne at Sunset Magazine's annual Celebration weekend event last spring, where I was invited along with Chef Rick Bayless (Frontera), Candace Nelson (Sprinkles), and Govind Armstrong (8oz Burger). So impressive they included vegan raw along side these TV celebrities.
The food was presented beautifully. And, my friends hooked me up with a vegan meal, of course!
Check out this space, there was a pool and water fountain in the center. It was cold that night though. The ladies were all freezing in their cocktail dresses. I had my coat on for dinner. Dinner was accompanied by performances by 3 Korean pop stars. Sort of made me giggle. USA and Korea entertainment is very different. An incredible event. And great conference the following day with discussions and inspiration for ways to encourage more diversity in the media. Some said it'll take a few years. I'm not holding my breath though….
Thank you Nathan Nowack for these gorgeous photos. Please visit Nathan Nowack for more photos from this event.
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

Peer pressure: Lord Egremont puts nuclear new-build on hold
Last updated at 11:14, Thursday, 22 March 2012
WORK to pave the way for Copeland's planned new nuclear power station has been delayed – by a lordly intervention.
Lord Egremont, a substantial landowner in Cumbria and Sussex, owns the rights to minerals lying below the surface of the site neighbouring Sellafield which has been earmarked for West Cumbria's biggest single private sector development.
Today The Whitehaven News can reveal that the aristocrat wants to sell the rights to NuGen, the power station's prospective developers, before allowing any exploratory work to begin.
NuGen has paid £20 million up front to buy the land itself from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in an option to purchase more of the site in what could prove a £70million deal.
Now peer pressure from Lord Egremont – who lives with his family in a stately home in Sussex – has left NuGen frustrated over the extra cost of what might lie below because the consortium can't set foot on the Moorside site until a sale of the mineral rights has been agreed.
Lord Egremont's asking price for whatever minerals are present is believed to be very substantial.
Planning permission is in place. NuGen wanted to start borehole drilling weeks ago to make sure the near 500-acre site is suitable for building reactors before making a final investment decision to go ahead.
The issue is said to be sensitive and in the hands of respective solicitors to try and agree an amicable settlement.
Investment worth £9 billion is predicted if the consortium decides to go ahead in three years' time.
NuGen spokesman John McNamara said: "I can confirm the company has been delayed in getting on to the site by a claim over mineral rights. I can also confirm that we are in discussions over a claim for mineral rights but as I am sure you can appreciate this is a commercial issue and negotiations are on-going so I am unable to discuss this in any further detail at this stage."
But behind the scene concerns are being expressed about the unexpected snag.
Copeland MP Jamie Reed, who played a key role in attracting NuGen to Copeland, said: "Getting the power station here will bring massive benefits to Copeland. Our future is too important to be held to ransom."
The chairman of the West Cumbria Stakeholders Group, Coun David Moore, said: "This is Lords of the Manor stuff, mineral rights in many cases are probably hereditary going back to ancient and feudal times. I'd hate to think the situation here is being exploited.
"There may be no real value of the minerals under the surface of this land.
"Whatever the value, it is a great shame that Lord Egremont's claim is holding up progress on a development which will bring thousands of jobs to our area and investment worth many billions of pounds."
Lord Egremont, also known as historical biographer Max Egremont, lives with his family at Petworth House in West Sussex. His family owns inherited estates there and also in Cumbria, centred around Cockermouth Castle.
Petworth House itself was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1947 on the death of Lord Egremont's great-uncle, Charles Leconfield.
Lord Egremont and his family continue to live in part of the 'grand house' but own Leconfield Estates (surrounding Petworth) with some 14,000 acres of land. There are 280 cottages and houses in the ownership.
The 3,000-acre Cumbrian estate includes a number of let farms, a handful of cottages, excellent salmon fishing, quarries, amenity land - and minerals.
Lord Egremont's father, John Wyndham, traded in much of the contents of the 'grand house' to settle crippling inheritance tax on condition that the family remained there.
Lord Egremont's ancestry goes back centuries with connections to Cumberland and Egremont.
Copeland Council leader Elaine Woodburn said: "It appears to be the case across the country that mineral rights owners are placing unpredictable and often unexpected levy on developments that has the potential to impact on the viability of projects.
"It's potentially a significant issue, one that could have an impact on many future developments both here and on a much wider scale, including nuclear new build which is vital for this economy and our energy needs."
Mr Reed said he was writing to Lord Egremont "in the hope common sense can prevail. Nobody who really cares about the economic well-being of the area would want to stymie this unique investment."
While not being able to get on to the land is a step back NuGen made a step forward yesterday in being granted a licence to enable them to generate electricity from the planned Moorside reactors.

Have your say
well, he could donate the money to local development of a different nature; he doesn't have to be greedy and keep it. old poor max, doesn't have enough to play with...
Lord Egremont has every right to protect his assets or investments. I am sure that Mr Reed would was also take advantage of this unique investment if he was in the same position. You don't get anything for nothing and I hardly think Mr Reed is in a position to request Lord Egremont to forego what is due to him so that others can make a profit.

Brian Ebersole (50-15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Rick Story (15-7 MMA, 8-5 UFC) will meet at UFC 167. UFC officials announced the 170-pound fight booking overnight.
UFC 167 takes place Nov. 16 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and the main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and Facebook. Ebersole vs. Story is likely to be part of the preliminary card.
Ebersole will return to action after what will be 16 months on the sideline. Ebersole in 2011 finally made it to the UFC after more than 60 career fights, and he started 4-0 with wins over Chris Lytle, Dennis Hallman, Claude Patrick and T.J. Waldburger.http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/0...7-in-las-vegasWith the addition, the latest UFC 167 card now includes:
Georges St-Pierre vs. Johny Hendricks - for welterweight title
Rashad Evans vs. Chael Sonnen
Frank Mir vs. Alistair Overeem
Robbie Lawler vs. Rory MacDonald
Josh Koscheck vs. Tyron Woodley
Donald Cerrone vs. Evan Dunham
Brian Ebersole vs. Rick Story
So happy to see Ebersole back in action. Anyone hear why he canceled his move to LW?
Overall, 167 looks to be a great card by star power and some fun matchups. I know I'll be alone, but I think Ebersole/Story is the fight I'm actually most excited for.

Criticizes story in Standard
I wanted to thank the Aiken Standard for covering the story about the medallion honoring Aiken Preparatory School and its history of nearly 100 years. It has been a significant although often unrecognized presence in the community.
While I applaud the article, I must point out that Kitty Gordon is the "head of school," for Mead Hall, which is the surviving nominal member of the merger between the two schools. She could not now, nor ever have been, the headmaster of Aiken Prep, as the word is gender specific. Anyone with eyes can tell that she is, in fact, a lady.
One other criticism I have is the misspelling of preparatory. Owing to the colloquial mispronunciation of the word as "prep-a-tory", the erroneous spelling has been used. Please. The pronunciation is pre-par-a-tory and so is the spelling.
My complaint might seem trivial in view of the economy, worldwide violence and that Justin Bieber is having girl trouble, but please, please at least wait until we die before using that misspelling.

If one foot is larger than the other, always fit the larger foot.
The letters "4A", "3A", "2A", "B", or "C" below the sizes refer to the width of the shoe. The following chart explains the various widths Arthur Beren carries:
|4A or SS
|= Extra Narrow
|2A or N
|= Narrow
|B or M
|= Medium (Standard)
|C or W
|= Wide

Rated 1 out of 5�by AllyMarie New Fabric This new fabric that has been introduced over the course of a year (give or take) isn't the same as the Original fabric of 90% Nylon & 10% Spandex. This fabric is thinner & when I'm working out in the gym they're see-through!! I can't even do a squat, or a lunge! That's NOT what I need when I'm working out!! This doesn't feel durable & doesn't wick the moisture away from my body like the original fabric! Bebe, you guys NEED to go back to the good quality stuff!!! June 13, 2014

- Schwarze Löcher im Labor? : Auf der Suche nach einer experimentellen Bestätigung der Stringtheorie (2006)
- Schwarze Löcher – das sind im Allgemeinen alles verschlingende, gigantisch schwere astronomische Objekte mit bis zu einigen Milliarden Sonnenmassen. Am Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) und am Institut für Theoretische Physik sind in den vergangenen fünf Jahren eine ganz neue Art von Schwarzen Löchern theoretisch vorhergesagt worden, die genau das Gegenteil der astronomisch gemessenen Giganten darstellen, nämlich winzig kleine Schwarze Löcher, so genannte »mini black holes«. Auftreten könnten sie, wenn im kommenden Jahr der neue Teilchenbeschleuniger am CERN in Genf in Betrieb genommen wird.
- Transport model analysis of the transverse momentum and rapidity dependence of pion interferometry at SPS energies (2006)
- Based on the UrQMD transport model, the transverse momentum and the rapidity dependence of the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii R_L, R_O, R_S as well as the cross term R_OL at SPS energies are investigated and compared with the experimental NA49 and CERES data. The rapidity dependence of the R_L, R_O, R_S is weak while the R_OL is significantly increased at large rapidities and small transverse momenta. The HBT "life-time" issue (the phenomenon that the calculated sqrt R_O^2-R_S^2 value is larger than the correspondingly extracted experimental data) is also present at SPS energies.
- DD correlations as a sensitive probe for thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions (2006)
- We propose to measure azimuthal correlations of heavy-flavor hadrons to address the status of thermalization at the partonic stage of light quarks and gluons in high-energy nuclear collisions. In particular, we show that hadronic interactions at the late stage cannot significantly disturb the initial back-to-back azimuthal correlations of DDbar pairs. Thus, a decrease or the complete absence of these initial correlations does indicate frequent interactions of heavy-flavor quarks and also light partons in the partonic stage, which are essential for the early thermalization of light partons.
- Mini black holes at the LHC : discovery through di-jet suppression, mono-jet emission and a supersonic boom in the quark-gluon plasma in ALICE, ATLAS and CMS (2006)
- We examine experimental signatures of TeV-mass black hole formation in heavy ion collisions at the LHC. We find that the black hole production results in a complete disappearance of all very high p_T (> 500 GeV) back-to-back correlated di-jets of total mass M > M_f ~ 1 TeV. We show that the subsequent Hawking-decay produces multiple hard mono-jets and discuss their detection. We study the possibility of cold black hole remnant (BHR) formation of mass ~ M_f and the experimental distinguishability of scenarios with BHRs and those with complete black hole decay. Finally we point out that a Heckler-Kapusta-Hawking plasma may form from the emitted mono-jets. In this context we present new simulation data of Mach shocks and of the evolution of initial conditions until the freeze-out.
- Anisotropic flow at RHIC : how unique is the number-of-constituent-quark scaling? (2006)
- The transverse momentum dependence of the anisotropic flow v_2 for pi, K, nucleon, Lambda, Xi and Omega is studied for Au+Au collisions at sqrt s_NN = 200 GeV within two independent string-hadron transport approaches (RQMD and UrQMD). Although both models reach only 60% of the absolute magnitude of the measured v_2, they both predict the particle type dependence of v_2, as observed by the RHIC experiments: v_2 exhibits a hadron-mass hierarchy (HMH) in the low p_T region and a number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) dependence in the intermediate p_T region. The failure of the hadronic models to reproduce the absolute magnitude of the observed v_2 indicates that transport calculations of heavy ion collisions at RHIC must incorporate interactions among quarks and gluons in the early, hot and dense phase. The presence of an NCQ scaling in the string-hadron model results suggests that the particle-type dependencies observed in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate p_T are related to the hadronic cross sections in vacuum rather than to the hadronization process itself, as suggested by quark recombination models.
- DD correlations as a sensitive probe for thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions (2006)
- We propose to measure correlations of heavy-flavor hadrons to address the status of thermalization at the partonic stage of light quarks and gluons in high-energy nuclear collisions, shown on the example of azimuthal correlations of D-Dbar pairs. We show that hadronic interactions at the late stage can not disturb these correlations significantly. Thus, a decrease or the complete absence of these initial correlations indicates frequent interactions of heavy-flavor quarks in the partonic stage. Therefore, early thermalization of light quarks is likely to be reached. PACS numbers: 25.75.-q
- Elliptic flow analysis at RHIC with the Lee-Yang Zeroes method in a relativistic transport approach (2006)
- The Lee-Yang zeroes method is applied to study elliptic flow (v_2) in Au+Au collisions at sqrt s =200 A GeV, with the UrQMD model. In this transport approach, the true event plane is known and both the nonflow effects and event-by-event v_2 fluctuations exist. Although the low resolutions prohibit the application of the method for most central and peripheral collisions, the integral and differential elliptic flow from the Lee-Yang zeroes method agrees with the exact v_2 values very well for semi-central collisions.
- Medium modifications of the nucleon-nucleon elastic cross section in neutron-rich intermediate energy HICs (2006)
- Several observables of unbound nucleons which are to some extent sensitive to the medium modifications of nucleon-nucleon elastic cross sections in neutron-rich intermediate energy heavy ion collisions are investigated. The splitting effect of neutron and proton effective masses on cross sections is discussed. It is found that the transverse flow as a function of rapidity, the Q_zz as a function of momentum, and the ratio of halfwidths of the transverse to that of longitudinal rapidity distribution R_t/l are very sensitive to the medium modifications of the cross sections. The transverse momentum distribution of correlation functions of two-nucleons does not yield information on the in-medium cross section.
- Transport model analysis of femtoscopy data at RHIC energies (2006)
- The pion source as seen through HBT correlations at RHIC energies is investigated within the UrQMD approach. We find that the calculated transverse momentum, centrality, and system size dependence of the Pratt-HBT radii R_L and R_S are reasonably well in line with experimental data. The predicted R_O values in central heavy ion collisions are larger as compared to experimental data. The corresponding quantity sqrt R_O^2-R_S^2 of the pion emission source is somewhat larger than experimental estimates.
- The origin of transverse flow at the SPS (1998)
- We study the transverse expansion in central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. Strong collective motion of hadrons can be created. This flow is mainly due to meson baryon rescattering. It allows to study the angular distribution of intermediate mass meson baryon interactions.

Me.com doesn't list Find my iPhone as paid MobileMe service but App Store still does
If you go to me.com on your iPad or iPhone you'll a screen with options to Install Find my iPhone and Gallery, and then a second category labeled as "Requires Paid Subscription", which includes Set up Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Install iDisk.
That's a little confusing since if you tap the iTunes link, you're taken to the App Store which promptly informs you Find my iPhone indeed still requires a paid subscription to MobileMe (or the 60-day free trial). Likewise, MobileMe Gallery still requires a member name and password on launch.
So why put Find my iPhone and Gallery above the pay warning? Why put iDisk below it? Poor design, cheap attempt to get people to download and the push the subscription service, or unintentional glimpse of potentially free aspects of MobileMe to come?
Check out the screen and let me know what you think.
[Thanks Paul for the tip!]

Me.com doesn't list Find my iPhone as paid MobileMe service but App Store still does
Actually I'M first, and you're a dweeb.
Sent from Steve's iPhone
The reason why this is the case is because you can load the Find My iPhone app on any phone but you still need the MobileMe subscription to find your iPhone. Why load it on your own phone? If it's lost then it's useless? But you can find someone else's phone if they have MobileMe and you have the app.
That's true. You can also view other people's galleries. Although the same argument applies for iDisk.

But a comparison was made with ArmA no?
Battlefield's 2kmx2km and ArmA3's 20kmx20km (and that's only a landmass, ignoring stuff like detailed sea bottom) are two different scales (in fact that's 100 times different)
So I really fail to see how handling BF3 well is any indication of how much more demanding ArmA3 would handle on the same PC (don't forget - it also has complex AI routines and every destruction done at any point of the huge map stays like that forever, even grass being pushed down by anyone translates over network - and in BF3 foliage doesn't seem to interact with players in any way).
If anything my "worst case scenario FPS calculator" is ArmA2 FPS / 1.5 = ArmA3 FPS

'Ready When the Time Comes' is a partnership between the Eastern Oklahoma Region Red Cross and shelter sites, churches, local businesses, universities, colleges and community organizations in Pushmataha County. "This program trains and prepares participants in basic Red Cross disaster response. RWTC volunteers will be able to step up and volunteer in the event of a large scale local disaster" said Donna Head, Red Cross Disaster Action Team Lead of Choctaw and Pushmataha Counties. "These volunteers will only be called upon when a local disaster happens in Pushmataha County".
Participants will be instructed on basic disaster response as well as Red Cross principles and procedures and 'CPR for Everyone'. The total classroom training will last 3-4 hours. The training will be provided at any facility by certified Red Cross instructors at a mutually agreeable time.
'The majority of teams will be working in Red Cross shelters during large scale disasters in their county,' said Mrs. Head. Teams may also be called upon to do such things as work a Red Cross call center or operate a canteen for firefighters or police officers if they so choose to be called. It would depend on the type of disaster and the scope of the response from the Red Cross. "Teams will never be assigned a task beyond their level of training".
A "Ready When the Time Comes" volunteer must fill out an application and successfully complete the training. A criminal background check conducted by the American Red Cross is required for all participants. A volunteer for this program must be at least eighteen years of age but there are no specific skill requirements to participate in RWTC.
"Recent events such as the 2007 ice storms, local floods and tornados have shown the communities how important it is to be prepared and trained before a disaster hits," Donna said. The RWTC program gives both the Pushmataha County Red Cross and participating organizations many benefits. "The Red Cross is immediately able to access a trained and ready group of volunteers. This allows the focus to remain on the relief efforts and not on making phone calls trying to recruit untrained volunteers."
Most 'Ready When the Time Comes' volunteers have a deep sense of satisfaction with their experience. They are able to help as soon as the Red Cross has a need. It awards them confidence and pride that they are providing a greatly needed service right here in Pushmataha county as well as in their own community.
For more information, please contact Rena Beezly at (918) 423-0481 or Donna Willison Head at (580) 317-4171 and leave a message.

Apple rumored to be working on an iPad mini with a higher resolution display and a significantly lighter new iPad
Of course Apple is already working on a new iPad mini with a higher resolution screen, and a full-sized iPad that will be thinner. Apple is always working on better, next generation versions of their devices. However, if you want to scratch "reportedly said so by sources in the supply-chain" off your rumor list, now you can. At least, according to Digitimes:
The sources have yet to specify whether the device will use Apple's Retina Display technology to enhanced resolution, but market observers said it is highly likely based on the development of past Apple products such as the iPhone and 9.7-inch iPad series.
Meanwhile, the sources also said that Apple will restructure the lighting of the next-generation 9.7-inch iPad from two LED light bars to one in order to decrease the device's overall weight.
The iPad mini is the only current-generation iOS device without a Retina display. The full-sized iPad is thicker and heavier precisely because it has a Retina display and the LED and battery that come with it. Making the iPad mini with Retina but without making it a monster, and making the full-sized iPad thinner and lighter so it's no longer such a monster are obvious, logical next steps.
And Apple is always working on just that. The only real questions are: how do they get there and when. Reducing the amount of LED is part of the how. We're still waiting on the when.
The iPad line used to be updated once a year in the spring. Both the iPad 4 and the new iPad mini, however, were released just last fall. It'll be interesting to see how quickly Apple can get these next-generation models ready, and whether they return to a yearly release schedule, or keep up a faster pace.
It's a tough call. To fast and Apple will be accused of "obsoleting" and "screwing over" past generation customers. To slow and Apple will be accused of "falling behind" the competition and "no longer innovating". Which is worse?

Apple rumored to be working on an iPad mini with a higher resolution display and a significantly lighter new iPad
I bought the iPad Mini with LTE and I have to say its the perfect size,I have had the iPad 1 and 3 and also the Nexus 7" And it was the Nexus that convinced me that I needed the Mini I personally didn't like the Android OS,So I was extremely happy that Apple decided to make a smaller version,So far It does everything I own a mobile computer service and being able to carry a small device instead of a laptop has been fantastic,And with Square Mobile payment plan I can now get payed right on the spot,I actually was able to get a 1 800 number for my iPad which costs only $1.47 a month and all calls cost 0.0125 cents a minute and I'm on the Canadian Bell flex plan which starts at $5.00 a month,So now I have an iPad that can make and take phone calls over wifi and over my LTE data plan which is way cheaper than my current cell phone rate.All I need now is a good Bluetooth head set and I will probably get rid of my cell all together.As far as not having retina it doesn't bother me in the slightest,I am finding that I use it more than my Macbook and my iPhone,The new iPad Mini is to me the device I have always wanted.
Definitely wait if you have the patience. If you don't care about Retina, get it now. I personally am waiting until the 2nd Generation comes out and then the 1st Gens will be cheap.
Apple should only come out with a retina display mini next year ppl are still catching up on regular sized iPads with the double release this year.
Ruh Roh... Blackberry and twigs are going to be hitting the web soon. Until their precious makes another flop that is. Tell me kemj... what does it feel like to be part of a collective that couldn't be any more insignificant than even old Brew-based flip phones?
Maybe for you. For me, my BlackBerry can't be topped for what I use it for. No, I don't use it to play Angry Birds or Instagram my coffee. The iPhone doesn't even have standard USB connections, no HDMI output, no DLNA support, and no NFC. Always stuck in an Apple world for everything you have to do must suck royally.
Yeah because BB and Android Are flooding us with innovation right? Smh
everyone know this was coming when they didn't bring the ipad mini with retina its just common sense
Other breaking new: The earth is round and expect the sunset to occur in the west this evening!
DOH! What do you expect Apple to be working on. lower resolution and heaver iPads?
They will always sell their products, but I think consumer trend is to buy every other generation product. My 4S contract will not go out until August 2013, so I might as well wait for iPhone 6. When they stop supporting the new iPad with updates, then I will think about getting another. They did sell a ton of iPad Mimi's, but the lack of retina display was a drawback for many, so they will wait. As far as a thinner iPad, what is under the hood will mean a lot. If it is just thinner, will not really be enough. To me, instead of developing new products, make the things we really need work flawless. I want Siri out of beta, and working perfect. I need iCloud to sync without a hitch. I need street view in maps. They may seem minor, and you don't have a petty new product to buy, but making your services work is just as important.
People need to realize a couple things. The ipad mini is great the way it is. You can't just put a retina display on a device and that's it. CPU would need to be upgraded and also ram to keep up with the display technology. That will raise the cost of the device, not to mention the cost of the higher resolution display. The ipad is still not cheap now, but its cheaper than the retina ipad. Apple won't do it if it doesn't satisfy the price point, you don't destroy the kindle, nexus 7 and nook tab with a $500 ipad mini and guess what if next year they don't get it to the price point they need , there still won't be a retina ipad mini
Doesn't that seem a bit...obvious.
I still don't understand why people feel screwed over by apple when new products are announced or released. My iPad 4 will still work just fine, and I still will have gotten a ton of productivity and enjoyment out of it even if they release an upgraded version tomorrow. Unless the only reason you invest your hundreds or thousands of dollars into their products is to enjoy 12 full months of having the newest toy, no one got screwed when they bumped the upgrade cycle this year.
At least you can usually sell your device for a solid chunk of the cost of the new device if you do need to upgrade.
I think those that feel "screwed over" are just the kiddies that can't stand not having the latest gizmos. I have an iPad 3 that I got around launch and I felt no anger and zero remorse over my purchase when the iPad "4" was announced. Hell, I actually forget it exists until someone mentions it in a post.
What's dumb about feeling "screwed over" is that we are dealing with technology. Only an idiot would expect to have the latest gadget when they walk out the door or open up the new package from FedEx. Technology products are outdated before they hit the shelves.
The elephant in the room is this. If the Mini goes retina (assuming double the current resolution) then what does this do to the bigger ipad line? It destroys it.
A 329 retina mini with a better PPI screen? Why in the world would anyone get a lesser quality more expensive bigger ipad?
The whole point of a the Mini is to be a low cost entry ipad. Its focus is thin and light. High res screens aren't part of that equation. It's wishful thinking to assume a retina ipad Mini is coming anytime soon.

Hey Columbia, we see your petition, and we raise you a sandwich. We looked on with growing interest as you got this movement off the ground, and we get the feeling you won't stop until sandwich equality reigns supreme. You guys are quick-witted, and honestly, we're pretty impressed. We endorse your quest for a sandwich ambassador, and as a sign of solidarity, will place your petition in our store in the heart of Morningside Heights and offer a 10 percent discount on all sandwiches for anyone that signs. We are with you, and we support the move toward sandwich democracy.
But sandwiches are only part of the bigger issue here. This is about more than just meat between two pieces of bread. Because let's be real, we fully support the desire to eat a sandwich a day, but we think you deserve a whole lot more than that. It should be easier to eat well in school while you're cramming for your midterms and all you've got is a box of ramen. We know being a student is tough, and it's even tougher with the added financial burdens you face now and will continue to face when you're done with college. The options for cheap, good food are few and far between. It's true. But you hold the key to your own destiny and your own sandwich paradise.
What might have started as a joke within the Columbia community is actually a larger signal of food inequality and what's wrong with our current food system. Why is it so hard for people everywhere to get a delicious and fresh meal at lunch time—OK, anytime—without breaking the bank? We think it's time we fight this good fight together. Local movements to bring this issue to the table have already started in our neighborhood, specifically an interfaith group's SNAP challenge in October to raise awareness about the difficulty of living on food stamps. Because sometimes it's more than just a sandwich—sometimes it's the fresh fruit and produce that we all deserve but few of us see in our daily meals. We're not saying you shouldn't eat a sandwich a day, but an apple is certainly a good place to start.
It's time to equalize good, wholesome food, and we support bringing the highest quality food at an accessible price point to the masses. This is why we support a sandwich ambassador. Talk is cheap, but sandwiches are not. Let's teach people to eat and live well on a budget. Let's bring food literacy programs into schools where students, teachers, and parents alike can learn to feed themselves balanced meals at a low cost. Let's end the gap between food producers and food consumers. Let's end the gap between sandwich producers and sandwich consumers. Let's build a sandwich democracy together. You, me, and the sandwich ambassador leading us all to a better tomorrow, a tomorrow we hope will be filled with sandwiches.
We want to set an example for the future. Not just for sandwich eaters now, but for future sandwich eaters, and future sandwich eaters after that. We take pride in providing the Columbia community a farm-to-counter sandwich for less than $10. Take note, sandwich ambassador.

As a conservative may I comment. A just society shows its justice partly by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. The truly poor will always be with us. For them the kindness of family, neighbors, and the local community must be relied upon. The last resort should be the State. In America we are denying justice and rejecting our core values.. We are making policies that transmit the idea that ordering your neighbor to feed and cloth and house you is acceptable, even encouraged rather than something to avoid or be shamed about. That is called the entitlement mentality. Its not American and its not virtuous. 50 million Americans should not be ordering their neighbors to go out and work for their needs. Its a shameful thing. Secondly, our Democratic party is no longer the party of American liberalism. Its the party of Leftism steeped in Marxism- "from all according to their abilities; to all according to their needs." Leftism is a wealth and spirit and character destroyer. Its why America once proudly rejected it. Now we put people with its values in the White House. These are the values, the Party that has controlled Detroit for decades and now has turned a once thriving wealthy city into a third world pauper city. This is what Hope and Change brings. This is what focusing on non-American values brings. You students are now on the hook for over 17 trillion dollars of debt and 100 trillion of liabilities. You students run around talking about white privilege and heterosexual privilege and Christian privilege rather than the privilege of being an American, born into a country with the best value system in the world. This is anything but Hope and Change and justice. Leftism is an justice destroyer.
