Tim Cook reportedly uses Town Hall meeting to address Android, Wall Street, and more
CEO Tim Cook reportedly held an all-hands Town Hall meeting last week to address the state of the Apple with employees. Subjects covered were said to include employee perks, production from supply chain to sales, the retail stores, the competitive landscape with Google's Android, and opportunities in China. 9to5Mac's ace reported, Mark Gurman, has a full rundown. Here's a highlight from the competitive part:
Cook discussed iOS's integrated, reliable experience versus Android's fragmentation with a plethora of devices. [..] Cook also noted that Android is about marketshare with its range of devices and low pricing, while iPhone and iPad products are about experience, top hardware and software quality, and, most importantly, actual usage by customers.
No phone hardware, software, or service is perfect. Android's choice of devices is a huge selling point for some, a huge pain point for others. Google's been iterating Android at a fairly brisk pace and while things iOS users don't like about it, including how interface works, are still issues, it's not safe to assume that'll always be the case.
That's why Apple's strategy for beating Android can't rely on poor user experience from Google. It has to rely on better software and services from Apple. Otherwise it's outside Apple's control. Based on how much passion Cook expresses when he discusses everything from the stairs at an Apple Store to the unibody on MacBook to the way they build the iPad mini, he knows that better than anyone. They just have to continually execute on it.
Go read the full recap.

Tim Cook reportedly uses Town Hall meeting to address Android, Wall Street, and more
tim cook is slowly killing apple with that mind frame. i feel like steve would have saw it was time for a total os change. and stop saying ppl dont like change because im 1 billion percent sure everyone will go crazy in a good way if apple finally gives the ui a face lift. apple has been selling the same phone for 7 years with a new app here and there. get mad if u want but its true. the iphone 4 was the closest thing to innovation sense the phone was announced in 2007
I can't see anything Cook has done that's different than what Jobs would have done. Most people have no idea who made what decision over the last couple of years and routinely miss-credit things between the two of them.
UI facelifts are the least of what we need from iOS now :)
"Google's been iterating Android at a fairly quickly and while things iOS users don't like about it, including how interface works, are still issues, how much longer will that be the case?" I think you're saying that soon android will have a UI so pleasing that iOS users might consider jumping ship when it's time to upgrade their device. I don't think that's true though because in the end it's the apps that matter, and how they look and feel and behave on each platform that will be more enticing than the operating system itself. Nobody buys Windows for how pretty it is when nothing is running.
I'm not saying Google will catch up on interface compositing, rendering, etc. this year, next year, or who knows what year. I'm saying it's smart to assume they will and compete on them doing it now, and make sure that even when/if someone catches up, you're already ahead of them.
I agree completely, if they don't really get there act together with the interaction between iOS and the cloud they are going to be in a very bad spot going forward, regardless of hardware. In the same breathe, I feel like we've been talking about this for years, so why should we think it's going to change now?
Re: "Android's choice of devices is a huge selling point for some, a huge pain point for others."
Choice? You either choose a Samsung Galaxy or a device from one of Samsung's Android hardware competitors. None of which is generating enough revenue to sustain their Android hardware business.
And why not? Because people choose the best alternative. Why would you choose an inferior Android phone if it's offered at the same price? Because there's less un-removable spamware? Because you're a sucker for the "big screen" fad? Because Samsung is "your father's smartphone"? Who knows.
Consumers choose the best alternative that is available to them. If all you can get on your carrier are Android smartphone, then you get the Galaxy. Of course, in the US, the major carriers also carry iPhone. Therefore, choosing the best alternative means choosing iPhone. And that's why 84% of AT&T's smartphone sales were iPhones.
If Apple does a 4.8 in screen while making the phone thinner AND increasing the battery capacity and battery life (ala Razr Maxx HD), that would be improvement enough for me. I can't see them doing a major overhaul of the OS guts, but perhaps they may be considering some sort of launcher options or home screen skins. Something to make iOS appear different while still pretty much running the same reliable way.

Hampshire dims thousands of street lights as part of Lights Out for WWI
Friday, 01 Aug 2014
In August 1914, the then Foreign Secretary Edward Grey, when he heard that war was inevitable with Germany famously remarked: "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life time."
To commemorate 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War, lights will be going out all over the country. In Hampshire, over 100,000 street lights will be dimmed by the County Council between 10pm and 11pm on Monday 4 August.
Councillor Seán Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment at Hampshire County Council said:
"Hampshire will be remembering those who died and the many more who were affected by the First World War - joining in with the national Lights Out event on the night of 4 August, by dimming street lights.
"Hampshire played a key role in WWI as a major embarkation point for troops heading off to the battlefields in Belgium and France and it is fitting that we show our support for The Royal British Legion's campaign. While not completely turning the lights out, the dimming will accentuate the effect of people illuminating a single lamp in their homes or local buildings across the county."
Major traffic routes will be exempt from the commemoration, and some specific street lights will be switched off totally in the vicinity of organised Lights Out events, such as Winchester Cathedral and the War Memorial in Church Crookham.
Hampshire County Council is able to control the dimming of these street lights as its five year replacement and upgrading programme means that a new remote monitoring system can be used. The new lighting is more energy-efficient, providing improved visibility and reducing night-time light pollution.
During the day on 4 August, the Chairman of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Colin Davidovitz, will be hosting a Hampshire Commemorates exhibition in the Great Hall in Winchester showcasing historic materials from Hampshire County Council and other partners, to mark the centenary of WWI. The event is free for all visitors and will run from 10am-5pm.

So which iPad did you get and why?
Apple has now fully released the iPad, both iPad Wi-Fi and iPad 3G + Wi-Fi in the US, and have announced 1 million sold, and I'd like to know -- which iPad did you get?
Tell me in the poll below then drop a comment and tell me why you chose the iPad model you did, and whether you're happy with your choice or wish you'd gone for something else. (If you bought the iPad Wi-Fi only and are now selling it on eBay to get the 3G, tell us that too).
Poll after the break.

So which iPad did you get and why?
I chose the WiFi 32 GB model because I have an iPhone that is with me all the time and do not need the always-connected option on the iPad. I'd also feel like I would have to fork-out $30+ per month to get typical use from 3G services.
So far, I find WiFi access when needed for the iPad but also have lots of games and movies loaded, the primary use of the iPad for me, and both of which do not need an Internet connection to operate.
They are really nice but right now I'm up to 3 computers and an iPhone, I don't have that much more tech love to spread around, it's like have 4 children, I barely have enough time to spend with each one now, other than the iPhone, I think the others think she is my favorite, I know, such a bad parent.
@da swede You do know the author of this post lives in Canada, right?
I got the 16GB WiFi model. I don't need 3G on my iPad because I can use my jailbroken iPhone as a WiFi hotspot. I have my iPhone and my 5th-gen iPod for music, and I don't see a reason why I would need more than 20 hours of video on my iPad at any time (16GB can hold about that much video, at iTunes's default SD settings). My iTunes library has over 180GB of content right now, but taking 16GB of it with me at a time is plenty. The only thing I wish my iPad had is A-GPS, but I'm not paying $130 for a little GPS chip. I'm hoping someone creates a (probably jailbreak-only) method of sharing my GPS location from my iPhone to my iPad over Bluetooth.
16 gig wifi. It is all I needed since I carry my iPhone. I just load up the iPad and find a hot spot when needed. Works for me!
Needed the option for people that bought both! I got the 64gb wifi since I have a Verizon mifi with an old unlimited plan and a JB iPhone with mywi. I got the girlfriend a 16gb 3g so she could use it at work with slingplayer and all the other video apps. Once I found out about the abc player and netflix issues on the 3g ipad I went ahead and jailbroke her phone and got her mywi. I am tempted to get the gsm mifi and put the activated ipad sim in it therefore bypassing it's limitations
I got the 32gb wi-fi when they launched. Gave that to my girl and got the 32gb wi-fi + 3G for myself. Even though I have a iPhone. I like to have Internet access all the time on the iPad. And it works great over AT&T's 3G here in upstate NY. Where AT&T is awesome. Always have service on both the iPhone and iPad.
32GB WiFi. Have successfully taken several trips already without laptop as a consequence.
Why not 3G? As another noted, I have my iPhone when not near WiFi for email/web, and have lots of apps on my iPad to work offline (I'm more creator than consumer).
Why 32GB? Have 16GB iPhone half filled; didn't want to hit a limit on size. Figured aggressive memory management could keep from needing 64 GB.
I originally preordered the 32GB WiFi + 3G. I went to Best Buy to try one out the day the WiFi model was released. After playing with it for about five minutes, I realized I couldn't wait another month to get one. I bought the 64GB model and canceled my order. The ability to connect to 3G would be nice, but it's not something I really need. I'll probably get the 3G version next year.
Got to agree with "da swede". I'm an American, but it doesn't take a lot of effort to consider Apple fans/customers outside of North America. The poll could have provided for such an "international" option, and might have proved informative to all.
If you have an iPhone, (especially jailbroken) I don't see why anyone would get a 3G iPad when you can use your iPhone as a WiFi router. As for the storage, every video is watched over AirVideo, Netflix, ABC, and more coming, so who needs more than 16GB? Not me. I'm happy with the base model.
I refuse to pay for another $30/month data plan that only works half the time on AT&T. I bought a 32GB iPad and linked it to my jailbroken iPhone using "MyWi" (which cost me $10). Not too bad -- $10 versus $130 + $30/month.
Why the 32GB? I wanted mine as a replacement for a laptop on most days. Not going to use it as a music device (hence the lack of need for a 64GB one to carry my entire library), but will definitely use it to watch movies here and there when traveling. 32GB seemed like a decent choice for teaching (carrying lectures in Keynote, which I've used quite a bit already).
@MACBOY15.....wow. You really spread that 85 a year around. Bet "your girl" is really thrilled to be with such a big spender as yourself. I mean, TWO iPads and an iPhone AND you live in "upstate New York". Let's see...hmmmmm....nope. Don't think you missed a single thing to brag about. It's really great that ATT is so "awesome" there in upstate NY. I just took out my Webster's new college dictionary and looked up douchebag. Know what it said?? See MACBOY15........
got the wifi only version as I already have a Verizon MiFi so I had no need for 3G, and got the 16GB because the only thing I store on this is about a season or 2 of the TV show I am currently watching. Photos are pulled from Picasa with Web Albums HD, all other video is streamed with AirVideo HD and I don't use it for music, stream all my music to my Android phone with SubSonic
@Scott, you're an idiot.
I bought the base 16gig wifi ipad and regret not buying at least a 32gb. I removed most of my music since I have an 32gb iPhone anyway and now I have some space.
I know Apple tried to make this product as affordable as possible, but IMO there should of never been a 16gig model. The memory capacity should of started from 32gb and up. I'm pretty sure this will happen next year with it's second gen.
Got the 64GB iPad 'cause I didn't want space to be an issue. Am totally happy with it too and even wrote a review about it.
Bought 32GB wifi. Selling it and getting a 64gb 3G. Thought 32GB was enough. I have 14 full movies and about 48 songs 10 pics and about 35 apps. Only 7GB left.
As above, we stay up till 2:30am listening to your Podcast, we subscribe to all your RSS feed, we check in sometimes hourly (but at least daily) to see what's going on and yet we get forgotten on the Poll's.
I'm from the UK and will be getting a 32Gb iPad as soon as possible. eBay is proving stupidly expensive at the moment, so desperately waiting for the 10th May to bring the prices down :-)
No need for 3G, as when I'm on the move I'll just take my iPhone. Only times I'll take my iPad is when I know I'm going to be somewhere with Wifi.
@BLu thats what im saying!
@Gregg - how much you want?? lol
I got the 64GB WiFi + 3G model. Why? Top me it does not make any sense (unless you are getting the cheapest model) to get any less than 32GB of memory. If you treat this thing as mini computer, you will want to carry as much of your data with you wherever you go. With the addition if the iBooks Store, and the many other ways Apple let's you consume media, it is almost impossible to not fill up 16GB of space. Then you have to factor in the fact that you are spending (on the 32Gb - 3G model) $729 already, so you might as well add the extra $100 to get double the memory; at least that's the way I see it. I am very happy I ended up with the 64Gb model, because I have already filled up more than half of it's memory, and it will only be a matter of time before I fill this one up too...
BTW Sorry for the long response, I am trying to get used to the onscreen keyboard, so I am trying to fine things to type...
I got the 64GB 3G iPad. I was shopping for an e-reader with a backlight at the end of January. When Apple made the iPad announcement, I decided to wait and check it out. I love my iPhone but I have a 2 hour commute to work each day (without WiFi) and my iPhone is in my hands the entire way. The small screen was getting a bit frustrating when browsing the web. Now I can surf the web, watch movies, read books, etc. comfortably and happily! LOVE IT!!!
I kicked AT&T to the curb because of their terrible coverage (rural Kansas, 2 hour drive from a 3G area) in favor of Verizon who's entire network is 3G and has great coverage here. This of course lost me my iPhone and I debated between replacing it with an iTouch or an iPad, and finally settled on the 64GB WiFi iPad for various reasons.
For anyone that's using Verizon and thinking of / has an iPad, I should mention that as of 4/1, Verizon made the 3G Mobile Hotspot feature on their Palm webOS phones (Pre Plus, Pixi Plus) free. Previously this was $40/mo, but I now have phone that becomes a 5-client 3G Wifi router with the push of a button with no hackery required.
While it's not unlimited (first 5GB/mo is free), its certainly enough for my needs and allows me 3G access in areas AT&T wouldn't dream of covering.
I got the 16GB. I don't see the need for having any more storage. Music? Pandora. Video? Netflix. Books? They take up about 35MB. That leaves everything else open for apps, and it is way more than enough.
I might have bought more if it was reasonably priced, but spending an extra $100 for 16GB more space is insane. The upgrade from 32 to 64 is a little more reasonable, except for the fact that 64GB is completely useless for me. I am doing fine with an 80GB SSD on my laptop and a 16GB SSD on my netbook. Storing stuff locally on mobile devices is a thing of the past.
I picked up the 3G to protect myself against at&t or apple making it so you cannot jailbreak and tether it to the iPhone. The mywi works great for tethering but if something were to change in the future and I only had Internet connection on wifi I would not be happy. This way I can just purchase the 3G data from at&t if the mywi gets broken by an update. The gps is nice too. I used it with my navigon software as a large screen gps for the car. At&t 3G has worked well for me where I live.
I waited on the 64Mb/3G due to the GPS chip...too many of my most used applications are location aware and I believe that will only increase. Don't expect to use the 3G service much, since I will probably use my Verizon MiFi (which also gets around the streaming restrictions forced by Apple/ATT); but the flexible no-contract plans might actually make activating the 3G when needed a great thing to have.
@Ray - buy in an Apple Store and pack in your luggage?
Yo Gino. O!! What's your problem?? I didn't see that post as having anything to do with you. I'm tired of "seeing" macBOY15 stomping on people in here with both feet. Guess you want some too?? IMO, I think Steve Jobs knows a lot more than you about his products then you. If you were such an idiot to run out and buy the first Apple anything, you deserve it. They have the track record of not letting it all out the first time. I mean, even an idiot could see that. The frame work is already designed to accept a camera, so it's a good bet that after the G4 iPhone rolls out with iChat, a camera will appear on the iPad. An idiot could see that coming a mile away. And, for you to make the case that Apple should have never offered a 16Gig model, and that YOU bought one, kind of settles that whole idiot thing, don't you think??
So which bit isn't like a big Touch?
Been in this technology game for a long time now and I've probably got floppy disks older than you so calling me a 'tardboy' is not quite right as being over 40 doesn't count as boy any more and I've a wealth of experience at spotting a corporate cashcow being milked for all it's worth!
So what if it's got more storage, bigger screen etc It's still a big Touch / iPhone hybrid thingy, that is for most, totally unnecessary and a big waste of cash.
And it will probably be out of date by the end of WWDC when they've announced the new one! ;-)
Happy Days
Steve in Blighty (not waiting on an iPad / panty pad or even an incontinence pad)
I haven't grabbed one yet. Just b/c Im waiting on the G4 iPhone
I got the 16GB iPad WiFi. It's plenty of space for my videos as I must convert AVI to H264 on most of my content anyway and so I'll have a select 4-5 episodes of 3 TV shows, as well as one or two movies, with me at all times.
As far as why no 3G, I just don't see the need to pay AT&T even more money when I can just pay $10 for a copy of MyWi and get full, glorious 3G on my iPad anywhere. (Just be careful not to exceed 5GB per month.)
This question will probably get lost here but to all those who use their iPhone as a wifi hotspot. Does AT&T charge you extra per month and if so, how much? Been thinking about installing but I wanna know first.
@Stephen no they don't. You pay for UNLIMITED data with the iPhone plan.
Oh and 32 GB WiFi iPad for me! LOVE IT!!!!
I was playing with the iPad a few hours ago. They need to add a camera on it. I think I would appreciate a bigger home button too. i dont want one now because i dont really have any use for it.
Got the 32 wifi. Have no need for 64 but glad I didn't get 16. After traveling a lot for the past month I think that 3G would have been a better choice because the 250 plan would have been convenient when there was no free wifi. Sort of filling in the gaps. But I don't expect to have this much travel normally & I live in A Big City so there are hot spots most anywhere. I wonder if the new iPhone will use the same sim whic
Had the 64gb for the weekend, bringing it back today... this is SUCH a toy, not a tool... Love to play with it, will get another down the road, but will not replace my MBA anytime soon, even as a couch computer. The only people I see needing this is anyone that needs a portable display screen.... that's it!
16GB WiFi; for my wife to get her over a phobia of using my at-home Windows op computer! Bought this one at a Best Buy store in CA for 10% off (a return because the purchaser thought the sky streaks on the start up display were scratches!). Only problem is that we are from Canada (still waiting for the official release of the ipads)and cannot access the Apps store with out a work around or US address/credit card.
I received the 32GB 3G for my birthday and that's exactly what I wanted. I didn't load my music so I have 10GB left. I like having the 3g option and since it's not a contract I don't have to worry about anything. Love my new toy. MacBook,32gb iPhone, and now my ipad..sweet!
I'm buying the 64gb model this month. I have both an iPod Touch and an Apple TV and you'd be surprised how fast TV shows and movie fill up your available storage. If you're not into video media it's not necessary but I buy a lot of video from iTunes. As for 3G or no 3G that decision is what has held me back from buying it yet but I'm determined to make up my mind this month. I love the fact that there's no contract for the 3G - if a contract was required I would definitely pass. I also like that it is optional month-to-month and you don't have to pay during months you don't intend to use it. On the other hand, there's a lot I could do offline on the iPad during times I didn't have wi-fi access - watching video, apps, etc. so maybe I can live without it, and $130 is a lot of money. Tough decision on the 3G but the storage is a definite 64gb with my heavy video usage.
What's up, just wanted to tell you, I liked this blog post. It was helpful. Keep on posting!

I have been having a bit of trouble getting hold of my friend. We live a couple of hundred miles apart, but have been friends for about 25 years (ouch – I just had to use all my fingers twice over to work that out) and, whilst we don't see each other frequently, we have always kept in touch since I moved away 14 years ago.
It took me some weeks to finally get in touch with her. It was getting to the point where I hoped she was upset with me for some reason, rather than face the possibility that she may be avoiding me for some other, more sinister reason. Sadly, it turned out the be the latter. A malignant tumor in her throat. Floored.
This is not an old woman. She is in her 40s, and about to be married for the very first time. I can't even get to her wedding, because I'm a bloody idiot and managed to book our family holiday so that we get back one day too late. I hadn't forgiven myself for that error, and then this.
We have helped each other through our twenties and thirties; during her break-ups I gave her a home; she helped me through the pain of divorce. We are mates, pure and simple.
So, why didn't she tell me?
She couldn't. She couldn't face it. Not with me, not even with her own Mum. She held it all closely to herself like a secret, with only her partner for support. It is only after weeks of intensive radiotherapy, the loss of 3 and a half stones, and my incessant nagging to get in touch that she finally caved and called me with the news.
I feel like I want to fetch out an embarrassing photo of us in the 1980s for you here, jumpsuit clad with big hair and plastic earrings, to show you all what a wonder she was and still is, but I've carefully considered her privacy and decided that those will remain tagged as 'private' in this particular Event.
It is moments like this which remind me why I had this dream – to create a repository for our memories, so that the people we are shall never be lost or forgotten, and so that we can tell our own 'life' stories in the order which they happened to us.
My dear friend is doing okay, in case you were wondering, and long may it continue . I shall celebrate her impact on my life with pictures and words.

By preparing more Marylanders for middle-skill jobs (those that require more than a high school diploma, but less than a four-year degree), Marylanders can gain the skills and credentials they need to get good jobs with family supporting wages. Middle-skill jobs are the backbone of the state's economy, making up half of Maryland's labor market. Maryland's community colleges are the places to go for training to meet the middle skill labor demand in the state. To learn more about this important effort, visit Skills2Compete-Maryland.

Nice piece
By Rosa
from Thornhill
I was happy to have it but it is very big when I wear it because my fingers are short and my hands are small. Therefore I am thinking to give it to my best friend as present or to put it around my scarf. It is well sculpted. Glad to have it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lovely signature piece
By Maggie B
from Calgary, AB
This ring does not look anything like the photograph on the website. What you are seeing is a reflection of something else in the room. In reality, the patterned part looks the same but the polished part is totall plain. Not that this is a bad thing; just not exactly what I was expecting. It is a nice ring though and I will keep it!

Red-Hot RedHawks Cool Hilbert Baseball
- Release Date:

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
PITTSBURGH, PA –Hilbert College faced a red-hot La Roche College baseball team April 6 and suffered two road losses to the undefeated AMCC opponent. The RedHawks improved to 4-0 AMCC (17-4) after their 8-1, 8-0 sweep over Hilbert.
Junior Joe Pernick {in photo} finished the day with 3 hits and freshman Paul Wujec added 3 stolen bases to his 2 hits as the Hawks drop to 1-17 and 1-5 AMCC.
In the 1pm game, Wujek knotted the game when he stole home in the middle of the 4th. La Roche ended that inning by putting one more run on the board to make it a 2-1 game.
Neither team mustered any runs until La Roche went on a 6th inning tear to rip the game open late. Tony Mara struck out the first batter and forced a long out to centerfield to give hope to the Hawks for an upset. The next batter hit a triple, which started a scoring run that finally ended with the same batter flying out to center field for the second time in the inning.
Pernick led with two hits.
After a brief break, Hilbert played to a scoreless top half before the RedHawks opened with a triple which kept their offensive-grove going. La Roche padded their lead in the 2nd and 5th innings and defensively prevented the Hawks from crossing home.
Cody Ashford, Wujek, Pernick,Tom Irish and Justin Hulbert earned hits while Wujek (two) and Ashford were credited with stolen bases. Colby Parachoniak took the loss on the mound before Tyler Roth picked up the middle three innings of service earning three strike outs.
The Hawks travel to North Buffalo for their next AMCC game against Medaille College. The 1pm double header will be played at McCarthy Park April 10th.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Felons, fighting?
Do we have a Strangler alert?
A few comments.
First, The guy who won seems like a cool guy, we was not going to hurt a guy who was not in his league simply because he could. Second, The guy who lost needs to leave the bullshit pride at the door or someone who is not a humanitarian is going to hurt him bad. Finally, That referee should have stopped the fight after the first round.
This is the kind of organization that gives MMA a bad name.

Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Wando basketball was honored by the S.C. State House of Representatives Wednesday in Columbia with a resolution celebrating its 2014 championship season.
The Class AAAA state champions were presented with a framed version of the bill on the floor of the State House. Later in the afternoon, former South Carolina Gamecocks defensive lineman and future NFL top pick Jadeveon Clowney joined the Warriors for lunch to congratulate them on their season.
Bill H.5006 states,
A House resolution to recognize and honor the Wando High School boys varsity basketball team, coaches and school officials for an outstanding season and to congratulate them for winning the 2014 Class AAAA state championship title.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Wando High School boys varsity basketball team of Charleston County took top honors at the state competition at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Friday, March 7, 2014; and
Whereas, young and optimistic, Head Coach David Eaton motivated his Warriors at the beginning of the season to overcome their lack of preseason ranking, and he inspired them with a goal that Wando High basketball team had never accomplished: winning a state championship; and
Whereas, to the delight of their fans, the Wando Warriors defeated the Hillcrest High School Rams 65-50 to carry home the first boys basketball state championship title in the schools history; and
Whereas, the Hillcrest Rams controlled the lead until three minutes into the second quarter, pressing the Warriors into 12 turnovers in the first half, when all-state sophomore Jamez Rogers swished a three-pointer for Wando to give the Warriors their first lead since the first bucket of the game; and
Whereas, Rogerss shot triggered a shift in momentum to the Warriors, which he quickly capitalized on by posting the next seven points to ensure that they would not trail again the rest of the game; and
Whereas, the Rams responded by issuing eight unanswered points with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, reducing the Wando lead to 10 points, but the Warriors fiercely fired back when forward Taylor Majewski scored five straight points; and
Whereas, when time expired, the Wando Warriors stood victorious, hoisted the championship trophy, and proudly sported their state medals; and
Whereas, although Jamez Rogers led the Warriors in scoring with 25 points; double digits also were posted by point guard Amp Moore with 13 points and Andrew Glover with 11; and Taylor Majewski contributed 7 points and 8 rebounds, and center Matt Pegram finished with 9 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Whereas, in a sport that demands strength, agility and accuracy, Coach David Eaton and his skilled coaching staff drew on their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off court; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition that the Wando High School basketball players have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Wando High School boys varsity basketball team, coaches and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2014 Class AAAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Lucy Beckham and Coach David Eaton.

Sad to see Shogun has fallen to fighting the 'James Te Huna's" of the LHW division...A light-heavyweight bout between Mauricio Rua (21-8 MMA, 5-6 UFC) and James Te Huna (16-6 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is the latest addition to December's UFC Fight Night 33 lineup.
The bout was first reported by dailytelegraph.com.au. MMAjunkie.com could not immediately confirm it with UFC officials.
UFC Fight Night 33 takes place Dec. 7 in the Queensland capital at Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Broadcast plans haven't been announced, but the event is expected to air on FOX Sports 1 following prelims on Facebook. Due to the time difference, the event takes place Saturday, Dec. 7, in Australia (but Friday, Dec. 6, in the U.S.).
"Shogun" and Te Huna are likely to co-headline the show, which also features heavyweights Mark Hunt vs. Antonio Silva in the headliner.
Rua, who's ranked No. 9 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA light-heavyweight rankings, looks to rebound from a quick submission loss to Chael Sonnen in UFC Fight Night 26's main event. The former champ has now lost two straight and three of his past four, which included defeats to notables Alexander Gustafsson and Dan Henderson. Despite the setbacks, the 31-year-old recently said he wasn't considering retirement.
Te Huna, meanwhile, was on a four-fight winning streak before a submission loss to Glover Teixeira in May at UFC 160. A New Zealander who now fights of Australia, the 31-year-old had posted consecutive victories over Ricardo Romero, Aaron Rosa, Joey Beltran and Ryan Jimmo before the Teixeira setback.

Our latest stories
'Candidates' to Comelec chairs
FILIPINOS CHOOSE the people who will run their government through elections. Yet they do not hold the power to choose who will run the elections. That authority rests on the President, who appoints the chairperson and six commissioners of the Commission on Elections. For the appointment to be binding, however, a confirmation from the Commission […]
Your Honor, Your Horror?
HE WOULD have long left his post at the Commission on Elections by the time Filipinos cast their ballots in the 2016 elections. But chances are some of Sixto S. Brillantes Jr.'s actions as Comelec chief would still be felt by voters even then. For instance, three days before he retired last Jan. 30, Brillantes […]
Who should head COA, Comelec, CSC, CHR?
A SILENT EMERGENCY is unfolding, a portent of a likely crisis of integrity should President Benigno S. Aquino III fail to act swiftly and well: Four Constitutional Commissions with mandate and power to run after crooks and foster good governance will become headless entities starting today and until May 2015. And unless Aquino acts soon to appoint the most qualified for the job, drift and inertia could ensue in these agencies, partisan politics could override his choices, and his "Daang Matuwid" reforms could head off to disrepair or reversal.
A lot of money, impact too little too late
AS DONATIONS continue to pour in from both local and foreign individuals and institutions for post-Yolanda recovery and rehabilitation efforts, the Philippine government has also loosened its purse strings and released funds to aid the typhoon-struck communities.
Who, what, why, how much?
EXACTLY THREE months after Yolanda struck central Philippines, the government launched a worldwide campaign to thank everyone who had rushed to the country's aid in the supertyphoon's aftermath. Aside from print and TV ads, the government also paid for billboards in nine famous cities across the globe – New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Toronto, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, and Sydney — expressing the Filipinos' gratitude for the hand extended to them by people all over the world. Indeed, while Filipinos themselves rushed to help their countrymen in need, the global response to the tragedy was overwhelming.

Sometimes I wonder if my niece, Laura, and I would be so close if her dad (my brother) hadn't died from a rare blood disorder when she was in high school. A death in the family sometimes dissolves even the most loving bonds. But when my brother died, I think we all got closer. Still, I adored Laura from the moment she was born. I was in college in New York City; my brother and sister-in-law lived about a mile downtown, a short bus ride away. I shared an apartment with four other young women, and we had one phone. (Yeah, those days.) When it rang at 2 .m., all my roommates could guess: the baby had been born. The next afternoon after classes, I took the bus across town to Mt. Sinai Hospital and saw what I then considered the most beautiful baby ever born. (Since then, my own two kids and Laura's two have competed for the title.)
As Laura grew, I adored her even more. Remember those times when you were a teen and you just couldn't talk to your mother? Laura was lucky to have me and another aunt, my sister-in-law's sister Heidi, close by. Then, some time after she finished college and settled in Boston, we became friends. It helped that my kids adored her. My daughter in particular has become particularly close with her. In fact, Laura promised she'd have a baby if Ariel chose a college near Boston. Sure enough, baby Ben arrived a few days before Ariel's freshman orientation. Someday Ben will tell stories about how he spent many days of his babyhood in a sorority house (being totally doted on by a bunch of wonderful young women). Harper arrived in time for Ariel's senior year.
So this is how we have it now: a mishmash of generations who love and adore each other. I know Ariel tells Laura stuff she won't tell me — back atcha Ariel, if you don't think I talk to Laura about you! Oh, also add into this my sister-in-law, Zelda, who is, well, a sister and a friend.
As I mentioned in a previous post, over February vacation, Laura and the kids came into the city for a day of fun with me, Ariel and Zelda. We began at Dylan's Candy Bar, had lunch at Alice's Tea Cup and then went on the the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Harper had enough after about two or three mummy cases. At first she was a little spooked — she is only 4 1/2. But after a while she informed us that there was nothing to be frightened of: after all, mummies are only dead people wrapped in tissue paper. (Love the tissue paper idea — I guess that's what it looked like to her.) 7 1/2-year-old Ben loved the medieval armor exhibit. I mean, take a little boy and show him some interesting looking swords, and he's in heaven.
Ben wanted to see the musical instruments and ancient coins, but Harper had had it, and we headed out to the park next to the museum where we all sort of pooped out on the bench and talked a while about what was going on in everyone's life. Then, too soon, it was time for them to catch a cab back to the train.
I think about everything that went into making this such a special day: I live in New York City, where there's always something fun to do. Laura lives in Boston, not too far away. Zelda lives in Lancaster, PA, also not too far. Ariel is in the city. We all had a day off.
But more than that there's this funny generational thing that makes Laura my niece and one of my best friends — and Ariel and Laura first cousins and best friends. Ben and Harper worship Ariel, and I can see the day when Harper and Ben are there to babysit Ariel's kids. There we were, over 60 years separating the youngest from the oldest of us, with so much in common, so much to share.
And there's a lesson here: These days with all the articles about how Baby Boomers are selfish and not planning on leaving their kids an inheritance (um, first let us get over the college payments and plan our retirements; then we'll think inheritance), when I look around, I see different generations working, playing and getting to know each other. Some people like to make theories about colliding generations. I've been shrugging them off as trouble makers. When I was small, there were always moms we wanted to hang out with and friends of our moms who were so interesting to listen to that we'd hang out with them.
With all this talk of Gen Y, Gen X, Baby Boomers and Traditionalists (or whatever we call the generation of those born before 1946), we're all just people. As divided as this country is politically, I find that when we don't talk politics, we have a lot in common. So that's what I think we should concentrate on — building community and relationships, in our neighborhoods and so on. These days we have online communities. Are you reading this? Well, welcome my friend. Leave me a comment, and I'll reply.
As usual, I'll leave you with some things to think about — and comment on.
- What are the best ways for building communities that include several generations?
- What are your inter-generational stories and memories?
- Hop/skip generations used to be so common in the days of large families, when uncles and aunts would sometimes be younger than their nieces and nephews. Is there anything like that now?
And that neighbor of yours, the kid who's driving you crazy with his skateboard, the old lady with her cats — take a moment out of your day and start a conversation. It's a beginning.

Thursday, April 4, 2013
His eyebrows rise toward the ceiling, his eyes widen behind his glasses, his bristly mustache moves and the rest of his face fills with satirical expression.
That's the look many customers see when Jack Cadwell steps out from the kitchen to greet guests with humorous commentary and silly faces. Then Barbara Fortes-Cadwell chimes in additional remarks and conversations write themselves.
It's miraculous more food doesn't go flying out of patrons' mouths as they munch on the lightly fried fare while digesting overtones of wacky wisecracks.
This is a natural occurrence on the five days Something's Fishy is open (Tuesday to Saturday). The restaurant initially opened in summer 2011 off East Doty Avenue but eventually moved down the road to 1211 N. Main St.
This week Something's Fishy is celebrating its one year anniversary at the new location next to Lowe's at the North Main Market shopping center.
Cadwell said when they officially relocated on April 1, 2012 the move was no April Fool's, but more of a blessing.
The menu expanded and seating was added with seven tables.
While all the classic seafood items remain – flounder, shrimp, scallops, clams, oysters – the new menu brings in hot dogs, burgers and chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. Everything is cooked fresh with each order.
"Business has increased by five times in the new location," Cadwell said, attributing this to the trust and loyalty of the Summerville community. "We have a lot of customers from the first location.
"It's a whole different atmosphere here. New people come in. When they leave you know their whole life's story . . . how many kids they have."
The location offers more visibility and thus more business, Fortes-Cadwell said.
After running the business in New Haven, Conn. more than a decade, Cadwell and Fortes-Cadwell moved to South Carolina to retire. Not long after Cadwell became bored and has served up fish ever since. They still received calls from customers in Connecticut asking if they'll mail shrimp to them. Local customers apologize if they haven't stopped by in a few weeks.
Cadwell works in the kitchen and Fortes-Cadwell works the register.
"People would rather see my face up here," she jokes as she smiles and winks at Cadwell.
"It's not work when you're with the customers and can joke with them," he says. "We're not corporate America. Our reputation comes from behind the counter."

Updated: 'Idol Rejects Tour' kickoff at Fat Fish Blue postponedWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Update: Toledo Free Press has learned that the May 2 performance has been postponed. We will update when the appearance is re-scheduled.
Every year after the show's end, the top finalists from "American Idol" go on tour, giving fans a chance to see their favorite performers live and in person.
But what about everyone else? "Idol" fans are annually introduced to dozens of performers beyond the ten finalists who get to go on the tour. Many of the eliminated performers are talented and have memorable stories of their own. But fans rarely get a chance to see any of them.
That changes this year. On May 2, the "Idol Rejects Tour" kicks off at Fat Fish Blue in Perrysburg. The event will feature performances from three "Idol" contestants who each made a great impression on fans this season, despite being eliminated in the early rounds: Chris Medina, Rob Bolin and Tim Halperin.
"At first, it was just gonna be a radio tour. Go to different radio stations, maybe play a club. And the idea became a little more grandiose, bigger," Medina said .
But these shows won't just be about getting to meet and perform for fans. "Idol has done this 'Idol Gives Back,' and so we thought of that, and seeing as how none of us Rejects were going to be on the 'Idol Gives Back' tour, we decided to make one ourselves," Bolin said.
Bolin said every show on the "Rejects Tour" will be a benefit. Toledo's performance will raise money for Project iAm, a local charity which distributes money to families of autistic children. Other stops on the tour will raise money for Medina, who, as fans of "Idol" know, is the primary caregiver for his fiancée Juliana, who suffered brain damage after a car accident in 2009.
"We saw an opportunity to give back — especially with Chris's situation, and with Autism Speaks, because we have a platform," said Tim Halperin. "We have a platform right now from 'American Idol,' and we want to make sure we're using it for good."
Chris Medina: 'I feel like I won the whole thing'
Despite the fact that he didn't make the top 24 on 'Idol,' Medina can't speak highly enough of what the whole experience has meant to him — and what it means he can also do for others.
"One of the things I've been saying throughout this whole experience is that I feel so blessed. People are just giving, giving, giving. Now that I'm actually in a position where I can actually earn some money, but also give back to another cause that is far greater," Medina said.
Despite his passion for music, he speaks of nothing more lovingly than Juliana. The two were engaged to be married in December of 2009. Two months before that, however, came the accident that would change their lives. "I always told her, 'You make me a better man.' I used to tell her that even before her accident. 'You just make me a better guy. When I'm around you, I feel like I wanna do the right thing.'"
He hadn't even planned on going out for "Idol" until a week before his first audition. He had already made it through the first few rounds before being confronted with a decision: Should he share his — their — story? He finally decided to do so.
"The day after it aired on TV, we got so much help — so many people wanting to help donate a wheelchair, or donate a car, or donate hospital equipment, or their services — people wanting to be caretakers. It was wonderful."
And though Medina is obviously disappointed that he didn't make it further, between his appearances on the "Rejects" tour, a new single titled "What are Words" and the outpouring of support from "Idol" fans, he remains incredibly grateful for the whole experience.
"I might have gotten kicked off before I made the top 24, but I feel like I won the whole thing."
Rob Bolin: 'I knew that wasn't me'
A native of Traverse City, Mich., Bolin admits he's an odd candidate for "American Idol" fame. He cites as his influences artists like Jim Croce, James Taylor, Harry Chapin and Otis Redding — storytelling artists whose music is immortal, but seem an ill fit for "Idol"'s pop-centric focus.
His path to national television exposure began a few years prior, on another show, with another contestant whose on-again-off-again relationship with Bolin would be the centerpiece of their time on "Idol" — Chelsee Oaks.
"Chelsee and I were on a TV show on TNT called 'Can You Duet?' a few years back.
"We had done that, and one of the editors from 'Idol,' who had become a friend of ours, called me and said, 'Hey, man, we got auditions in Nashville. You should go try out,'" Bolin said.
Oaks received a similar call, and had already tried out earlier in the day at the same audition — and been rejected. Bolin made it through, and was asked to talk a little bit about his life.
"And I said, the girl I was gonna ask to marry me brought her boyfriend here today. And they said, 'Did she audition?' I said yeah. And they said, 'What's her name?' And I said, 'Chelsee Oaks.'
"I go downstairs to fill out paperwork, and I'm sitting next to the cast coordinator. And upstairs calls downstairs to the cast coordinator, and all I hear over the phone was, 'Call Chelsee Oaks back.' And I look at Maggie and I said, 'You guys aren't seriously gonna call Chelsee Oaks back, are you?' She looks at me and says, 'Are you her ex-boyfriend?' I said, 'Yeah.' She said, 'Welcome to TV.'"
They had gotten back together again by the time a second round of auditions came about, and were once again no more when a third round occurred. By that point, however, their story had been prominently featured on the show. Bolin said he had a lot of misgivings about whether he was a fit for the 'Idol' mold.
Bolin has released a new EP in recent months, copies of which will be available at the Perrysburg show. He's still grateful for the chances being on 'Idol' has given him — "If I hadn't done that, then none of this would be happening right now" —but in the end, he'd be lying if he didn't say he wasn't a little happy to leave when he did.
"I had thought about 'Idol' long and hard, and I thought, if this continues to go, I'm gonna have to go, like, take a dump on the corner of the stage to get out of it," he joked.
Tim Halperin: 'I honestly wasn't sad'
Tim Halperin made it the furthest of any of his fellow "Rejects" — lasting into the Top 24 when an early massacre eliminated many, Halperin included. But despite increased exposure, he said that there are difficulties when you're planning a career after 'Idol.'
"I think the biggest challenge as an artist, after leaving the 'American Idol' stage, is to turn the TV fan into a music fan," Halperin said.
He's never known a time when music wasn't a part of his life, and cites Coldplay as a major influence in his decision to do this for a living. His path to 'Idol,' however, came not onstage, but through a webcam.
"I wasn't gonna do it — I'm not a big 'American Idol' watcher or 'American Idol' fan, and I was working on a full-length CD at the time. And my buddy contacted me and said, 'You know, 'Idol' is doing MySpace auditions this year, might as well throw your name in the hat and do a webcam audition.' And so I did.
"One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was in front of the judges in Los Angeles."
Despite his elimination, Halperin maintains a positive attitude about the experience.
"I honestly wasn't sad. I honestly felt so privileged to be a part of that top group, among the finalists this year. Out of 125,000 people," Halperin said. "So, I walked away knowing that, hey, I've been in front of 25 million people on a weekly basis for the past couple of months. I need to use that momentum and move forward."
He's maintained his momentum by releasing a track entitled "The Last Song" for free on his website, in advance of the CD dropping in September. He has also become a regular fixture on the Kidd Kraddick radio show out of Dallas, where he takes part in a segment titled "Idol Got It Wrong."
And like all his fellow "Rejects," Halperin promises Toledo a great time at Fat Fish Blue on May 2. "It's gonna be a fun show, it's gonna be a good evening, and I think it's cool for people to engage with somebody who was just on 'American Idol,' especially if they're big fans of the show."

Nice KO by Savant. Hit him as Guymon was coming in.
COMING SOON: New Sig!
That midget killed Joker. Also 2 things: 1. He had to have known Guymon was out and the ref was going to stop it, didnt need to throw that ground shot and 2. what the hell was guymon thinking running right at him?
Way to smash out of that arm bar.
Pretty good first round by these two (Newton and white guy I can't spell his name). Unless it ends quickly in the 2nd, I got a feeling that things will slow down by half way through the second.
COMING SOON: New Sig!
Can't wait to finally see Bellator in HD.
RNC without the hooks in. That guy was dundee.

Speed Aisawan battles it out in the first MY-NPL event of the year!
Monday, February 24th, 2014
Speed Aisawan, from Thailand, claimed the 1st runner up title in the Malaysian National Paintball League's (MY-NPL) first event of 2014. The two day battle took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the second week of February. There were altogether 14 teams from division 2 and we were faced with 4 teams in the first round. There were some good and bad games but we managed to go through to the quarter final round with the 2nd ranked from our group with 2 games won and 2 games drawn.
The second day started off with the 2nd round of the event, meeting with Shootin Rage team where we won the game by 2-1. Then we were now in for the semi final round where we met with team Mad Bunnies. It was a very tiring but yet exciting game. The Mad Bunnies started off beating us by 2-1 and with little time we were able to pull it back to 2-2. With 11 seconds left on the clock, last game must be played to mark the team for the final round. Due to the lack of time the 6th game of the match took place and with all the strength left in us, we won the game. The final round awaits….
The final round was Speed Aisawan vs. Throne and the first game was won by us 1-0 but after the first point won, game changed. We were defeated with the 2 games followed and called 1st runner up of MY-NPL event 1. This loss has given us great experience which will surely give us more devotion to our practice for the upcoming events of the year.
First thank you to our main sponsor Mr Peerawas Achaaisawan[P'Ake Aisawan] for the support with great opportunities and DYE Paintball for their support. Thank you Tabon for all the cool jerseys. Thank you Mix magazine, Tubchang BBgun and Paintball field, Shuriken Paintball, Bannanas support and Somboon tractor for all their support. Last but not least, a big thank you to Mr. Pisarn Pianwatjanatham and Mrs. Alisa Apichitsakul for the support and love you have given us all along.

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.
Grab a copy of the April 2011 issue of Delicious Living Magazine and enjoy my Raw Power cover feature with 6 raw food recipes for a preview of the flavors I'll be bringing you in my newest East West Fusion raw food book Ani's Raw Food Asia, available everywhere May 10, 2011.
A super easy salad to make, this is my go to when traveling. Made by massaging avocado into torn leaves of kale and then adding a squeeze of lemon to soften the leaves, and then tossing in sprouts.
Full of vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and antioxidants to combat travel stress (including time zone changes, sitting on airplanes, and living in hotel rooms) while boosting my immune system. I carried this yummy creation onto my last flight from NJ to LA, and took it with me to Las Vegas for my raw food debut at ACAM's medical conference at the Paris Hotel last week, where they served up 5 of my raw food vegan recipes to over 500 doctors!
Kale, Avocado, Sprouts
Into large mixing bowl, place kale and massage with avocado. Squeeze lemon juice, and massage. Add sprouts and salt, if using. Massage and toss to mix well.
Will keep for several hours at room temperature. Store in fridge for a day or 2.
It was Kanga's 8th 'birthday' and also our anniversary on Labor Day. Each year, I make my darling pooch a heart shaped cake (you may have seen the photo from last year's birthday on page 301 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials). This year, the cake was made with sunflower seeds and a few Medjool dates. Kanga was so eager to eat it, she got green birthday candle wax on the tip of her nose….so cute!
In a blink of an eye, the cake was gone! And, I wonder if you can guess who's in the background with her 'magic' tatoos….hint….London and the UK.
For our birthday ladies' luncheon, I made Jicama Rice, Mexican style by processing Jicama, then adding chopped red bell peppers, onion, corn kernels, cilantro, and a pinch of sea salt. Recipe below…. It was a lunch of British guests, one of whom is a celiac. That means she needs to avoid wheat gluten. I love that about the raw food diet, it's free of wheat, gluten, refined sugar, dairy, and guilt!
I had made myself a beet, parsley, lemon, and cucumber juice earlier that morning, then mixed in the beet pulp with a sunflower pate. I used this pate to stuff poblano peppers, then dehydrated them for a few hours to soften. For a sauce, I blended a simple tahini with lemon juice, salt, splash of water.
This was the dessert my lovely friend Kate Magic made us for dessert! It was made with figs, cacao, coconut, and lucuma…and it was incredible! But this was one course poor Kanga didn't get to try (dogs and cacao don't mix well…chocolate).
Jicama Mexican Rice
Place jicama in food processor, process into small bits. Be careful not to over process. Scoop into mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients, toss to mix well.
Kanga's Birthday Cake
Place sunflower seeds in food processor. Process into small pieces. Add pitted dates, and process. Sunflower will stick together and bind into a cake 'dough'. Form dough into heart, and serve.
Note: Sweets should be served in moderation to dogs, as to humans as well.
If serving to humans or to mix up variations to this recipe, try adding in sea salt, vanilla, cacao / carob, and or goji berries.
On Day 3 of my SF book tour, I visited the vibrant Spencer Christian and beautiful Janelle Wang for a return appearance on their afternoon talk show The View from the Bay. Spencer already loves raw vegan foods, and this visit, we may have won Janelle over to our side with my Jap Chae Korean No-Cook Stir Fry Noodles and Berry Kream Tartlets. (The recipes follow below).
Watch video of my TV appearance here.
It's always fun to be made up by a professional make up artist. Skye said she's been working weeks without one day off. A perfect candidate for the raw vegan diet.
Abbeba kicked off this show with her dehydrated crackers and salsa. I like to remind folks raw dishes like guacamole, salsa, gazpacho, and salads are already popular, so raw foods really aren't that much of a stretch from what we're already eating.
I met this pretty teen last year on my Ani's Raw Food Desserts tour. She seems to have grown a foot or more, and has the coolest parents. Her pops brought her to the Ferry Building for my talk on Saturday, and her mom brought her to the TV station. She's thriving on raw, and is continuing to convert and inspire her friends. What an inspiration.
The 2 recipes I made on air were for my Jap Chae, page 224, and Custard Tartletts, page 267. Jap chae is one of my favorite Korean noodle dishes, and it's traditionally made with rice noodles. This recipe was inspired by my mother, who pointed out how similar kelp noodles are to rice noodles. Mom helped me figure out how to season my noodles with pretty much the same ingredients as the cooked version.
Watch video of my TV appearance here.
JAP CHAE – Korean No-Cook Kelp Noodles with Vegetables
Place the onion and mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and toss with salt or soy sauce until mixed well. Nama Shoyu is a raw unpasturized soy sauce, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos is a live food. Another wheat free soy is tamari, if you prefer that. Set aside for at least 15-20 minutes to marinade and soften. Add the carrot and sesame oil. Mix well. Add the noodles and toss to mix well.
Custard Tartlets
CRUST (food processor):
CASHEW KREAM (blended)
To make crust, add nuts and salt into your food processor, and process into small pieces. Add dates to bind together your batter.
Line tartlet pan with plastic wrap. Press 2 tablespoons of the batter into pan. Remove tartlet crust, and place on plate.
Make kream by blending cashews with vanilla and water until smooth.
Scoop into tartlet crust. Top with fresh berry, and serve.
We're offering a special on raw cashews and kelp noodles this month in celebration of my newest book. For organic ingredients and my favorite kitchen tools, visit my estore at: www.GoSuperLife.com
Wild rice is actually a grass, not a grain. It's an aquatic seed that's found mostly in the upper fresh water lakes of Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in North America. It's a great source of protein, minerals, B vitamins, folic acid, and carbohydrates. I enjoyed wild rice the other morning to help fuel my cardio workout later that day.
I like to soak wild rice in at least double the amount of water for 2 or more days. Rinse and change soak water at least 2 to 3 times each day. Soaked wild rice will never get as soft as when it's cooked, but that's what I love about it. It has a chewy, hearty mouth feel that's really satisfying, especially when my body's craving some complex carbs.
This simple, quick, delicious recipe is made with just a handful of ingredients. Personally, I leave out the oil and salt. But it will bump up the flavor profile if you choose to add it in.
Sprouted Wild Rice with Corn and Tomato
Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Toss to mix well.
Will keep for 3 days in fridge.
Here's a super fast and easy recipe I made the other day when I had very little time to eat, but needed a break from my computer for a few short minutes. I didn't feel like a green salad, and wanted something a bit more substantial.
Zucchini noodles tossed with diced tomatoes and avocado with a touch of garlic, rosemary, and oregano for an Italian flavor. This is delicious and beautiful.
Simple Rosemary Oregano Noodle Salad
Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Toss to mix.
To serve, transfer into bowl. Garnish with 1 tablespoon hemp nut.
Enjoy immediately.
Here's a sneak peak into one of my favorite recipes from my new book, Ani's Raw Food Essentials (available June 1st). We shot this recipe last Thursday for TV, cable, and web.
I've been craving raw Tomato Chili the past few days, so I made sure to pick up some beautiful tomatoes, bell pepper, and fresh oregano at the farmers' market. When I went to make this last night, I realized I had run out of chili powder, so I used chipotle powder instead. It turned out spicy hot. To help cool it down, I made a batch of raw Taco Nut Meat, which helped a bit, but not enough. So then I added some Cashew Sour Kream, and that helped. It was delicious, and energized me to write late into the night.
This recipes is simple and quick to make. I enjoy the mediation of chopping with my knife. But you can also just place ingredients into your food processor and let it do the chopping for you for an even shorter prep time.
Tomato Chili with Taco Nut Meat
Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl, toss to mix well.
Place half of your mixture into your food processor or blender and puree. Scoop back into bowl with mixture and toss to mix well.
Place all ingredients into your food processor, and process into small pieces.
To serve, scoop raw Tomato Chili into bowls. Top with Taco Nut Meat. Enjoy.
Tomato Chili will keep for 1-2 days in fridge. Taco Nut Meat will keep for a week or more.
"Ani's Raw Food Essentials" is now available in soft cover, as of May 1, 2012!
In this book, I break down recipes to the simplest of ingredients. Then, I show you how to build from there to make variations and different flavors. I hope you'll enjoy my new raw food book! Can't wait t hear what you think about it.
Baja Fresh Taco Boats Filled with Cilantro Cashew Cheeze, Fresh Corn and Tomato Salsa, and a Ground Almond Taco Meat
A delicious recipe I taught at the first ever raw food workshop in Phuket, Thailand. It was a packed house, standing room only. A great day of fun, food, and new friends.
Baja Fresh Taco Boats Filled with with Cilantro Cashew Cheeze, Fresh Corn and Tomato Salsa, and a Ground Almond Taco Meat
To make taco meat, process almonds into small pieces. Add oil, cumin, coriander, and salt, and process to mix well. Set aside.
To make cheeze, process garlic and salt into small pieces. Add cashews, juice, cilantro, and only enough water to process into a thick cream texture. Set aside.
To make salsa, mix ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
To assemble, fill romaine leaves with about 2 tablespoons cheeze. Sprinkle on 1 to 2 tablespoons taco meat and salsa. Top with avocado slices and serve.

Due to his unsportsmanlike conduct in the locker room area after his fight, CABMMA announced "the suspension of the athlete Rony Jason Mariano for a period of 30 days, counted as from the end of the period of his medical suspension," said the release sent to MMAFighting.com.
With the pair of suspensions, Jason wont be able to compete until June 9, 2014.
In the post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White didnt seem so upset with Jasons behavior.
"This stuff happens," White said. "Especially young guys. A devastating loss like that, you do stupid stuff sometimes. I dont think he expected to slice his arm open and get hurt, but it happens."
