Mashup: DUI Map
DUIMap.org is Google map based a heat map showing concentrations of fatal DUI accidents. The purpose of the map is to highlight the most dangerous areas where drunk driving accidents occur.
Comments (2)
Hi Guys
You mashup is one the best I have ever seen and is good but I was thinking if you can add it with the GPS navigators systems to make it easier for user to have that option.
I'm from South Africa & planning to use your idea in my country to help in fighting the high rate of accidents.
One question who update the system when the accidents happend?
Looks like proportional to population.

Hawks Softball Scares Behrend
- Release Date:
- April 12, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
ERIE, PA – With the weather still impacting the playability of softball diamonds in April, the Hilbert College softball team traveled to Penn State Behrend April 11 for a home AMCC double header. In the early game, the Hawks roared back from an 11-1 second inning deficit only to fall short 16-10. After losing a key player to injury, the Hawks were shut-out in the late 5-inning game 9-0.
Behrend took an early 4-run lead after their first at bat, off four hits and two Hawk errors. When Hilbert stepped up to the plate, pitcher Emily Ripley (Batavia, NY/Notre Dame) opened with her first double for the game. She was knocked home by Halsey Baker (Scio, NY/Scio) cutting the lead to three runs before the inning turned.
At the top of the 2nd, the Lions 4th batter hit a home run (3RBI) separating the scores again; Hilbert committed four errors which contributed to additional scored runs. With the score 11-1 in the bottom of the 3rd, Ripley doubled once more and pushed Amber Grosch (Depew, NY/Depew) home for her first score of the day.
Hilbert held Behrend in check for three solid innings while they chipped away at the lead. Jill Martucci (Hamburg, NY/Hamburg) homered driving 3 runs in the 4th inning; Baker was sent home by Allison Hall's (Tonawanda, NY/Tonawanda) single in the 5th; and Grosch and Martucci scored again off another Ripley double in the 6th.
Behrend hit for 5 runs in the top of the 7th after a 3-run double kept their rally alive and pushed the score to 16-9 heading into the final half inning. The Hawks could only collect one more run in the bottom of the inning and fell short of their come-back victory.
Hilbert hit (.405) with Ripley going 3 for 5 scoring 2 runs (3RBI, 3 doubles) and going the distance on the mound. She pitched the full rotation facing 45 batters and striking out 4 with only 1 walk. Martucci scored 3 runs (2 for 5) with 3RBI off her one home run.
Shortstop Amber Grosch made a awakward catch in the top of the first inning of the second game, and did not return to play after that. The Hawks held Behrend scoreless until the 2nd inning when the Lions Chloe Vernon tripled, scoring 2 quick runs. The Hawks couldn't muster an offensive response in the bottom of the inning, and struggled in the 3rd inning as Behrend ripped off 5 more runs, building a 7-0 lead. Hilbert couldn't connect their bats to the softballs and went the game scoreless with a 9-0 loss after 5 innings. Devan Jonathan (Basom, NY/Akron) took the loss for the Hawks facing 26 batters. Hilbert had only 15 at-bats, with Baker, and Samantha Tedesco (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park) and Chelsea Reischuck (South Wales/East Aurora) getting the only hits.
The Hawks (1-12, 0-4) travel once again this week when they head down Route 219 to face Pitt-Bradford on Thursday, April 14.

- Notes on a new mealybug (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) pest in Florida and the Caribbean : the papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink (1999)
- Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink, here called the papaya mealybug, was first detected in the United States in Hollywood, Florida in 1998. By the end of 1998 it was found in four localities in the state and has since spread to nine localities in five counties. This mealybug appears to have moved through the Caribbean area since its 1994 detection in the Dominican Republic. The pest is reported to cause serious damage to tropical fruit, especially papaya, and has been detected most frequently, in Florida, on hibiscus. It is now known from Antigua, Belize, the British Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Nevis, Puerto Rico, St. Barthelemy, St. Kitts, St. Martin, and the US Virgin Islands. Hosts include: Acacia sp.(Luguminosae), Acalypha sp.(Euphorbiaceae), Ambrosia cumanensis (Compositae), Annona squamosa (Annonaceae), Carica papaya (Caricaceae), Guazuma ulmifolia (Sterculiaccea), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Euphorbiaceae), Hibiscus sp. (Euphorbiaceae), Ipomoea sp. (Convolvulaceae), Manihot chloristica (Euphorbiaceae), Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae), Mimosa pigra (Lugiminosae), Parthenium hysterophorus (Compositae), Persea americana (Lauraceae), Plumeria sp. (Apocynaceae), Sida sp. (Malvaceae), Solanum melongena (Solanaceae). The species is believed to be native to Mexico andlor Central America.
- Identification of the Pink Hibiscus Mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Pseudococcidae) (1999)
- The pink hibiscus mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), has spread rapidly in the tropical and subtropical areas of the New World especially throughout the Caribbean Islands, and has rece~t1y been discovered in California, Mexico, and Belize. All instal's of the pink hibiscus mealybug are descrIbed and illustrated to facilitate discovery of infestations. Comparisons with other common pest species are provided for most of the 8 instars, and a table is included that distinguishes the pink hibiscus mealybug from other pest species in the field.

By Joe from USA on 2010-11-22 11:34:55Things I liked:This Crosman behaves like a "real" gun....It has a good sound to it, never jams, has a good blow back (slide moving back and forth), a good feel to it and a good safety. Great value!
Things I would have changed:Nothing for the money.
What others should know:A+ rating by me.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
By Paul from USA on 2010-03-03 15:05:43Things I liked:I don't like much about this gun only because I'm disappointed in the condition it arrived in. I opted for the "re-manufactured"gun because of the good reviews, but I didn't realize it would come so battered up. It honestly looks as though it was dropped. The slide release lock is loose, the slide spring feels used up and old with barely any recoil, the slide itself sticks when you manually slide it back and the hammer is loose as well. It does fire...kind of accurate, but in my opinion they should have advertised this gun as "used and broken in for your inconvenience :)" instead of "re-manufactured" cause that's what I got. I'm wondering what this gun looked like before their so-called re-manufacturing process.
Things I would have changed:The slide isn't far enough back when locked. It becomes rather pointless to have that feature because of that. The c02 screw knob is hard to grip being so close to the sharp edges of the gun handle. Poorly designed for use with holsters, when you insert into any holster the gun slide slides and cocks the gun even with the safety on. I own a baby hi capa 3.8 and it wont slide with the safety on...unless the safety is yet another thing wrong with this gun.
What others should know:Yes....here is a lesson learned for me on buying re-manufactured guns...you get what you pay for...I guess. I decided not to return it and use it for a spare gun, but I am contemplating buying a brand new one...we'll see.

Cold in all his glory!
Alright maggots welcome to the DBZ fan thread. Remember the pecking order and you will do fine. There is you, the dirt, the worms in side of the dirt, Zoma, Laurcus, then Greymane. Preistalisha is awesome though, Priest made my new avatar.... WITH WORKING SCOUTER!
Let is discuss all things DBZ! While I personally never played any of the games, talk about the games, the shows, the mini series, fan fics (i personally love AF and Multiverse), and of course the movies..... DO NOT FORGET THE ABRIDGED FOLKS! TEAM FOUR STAR!!!!
dragonball evolution... OH GOD WHY
Alright Talk about who your favorite characters are, why, etc. Also all the snacks are worth 1 R each (R=Raditz) yes Raditz is the currency. Prepared to be blinded by science! We do a lot of calculations. I personally have King Cold as the most powerful being in the universe. Check my math and be shocked!
Here are some videos for your enjoyment.
Be civil or I will KAAAAMMEEEEEHHAAAMMEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you
fan fics you will enjoy
dragon ball AF
http://dbaf-usa.blogspot.com/ They can also be found on their fan page on Facebook.
Dragon ball AF is two different fan fictions. There are two different authors. There is the Xicor saga and the Ize saga. Both are amazing! I prefer the Ize saga. I just have soft spot for the father of Ize. Ize has personal vendetta against Goku. I will hide for now the identity of Xicor, but let us say that he has a special connection to our favorite character. He also has something to prove. In both fan fics, Goku is in the realm of the Dragons(much more expanded upon in the Xicor saga). Both happen a few years after GT. Lets just say in that time our favorite characters in both sagas learned a few new tricks.
Toyble is the heading for the Xicor saga, Young Jijii another author is the heading for the Ize saga.
and DBZ multiverse
This one takes place a few years after the Buu saga and is focused on a tournament that spans across multiple universes. Several of our favorite characters in alternate time lines make a grand appearance. What would have happened if Freeza beat Goku? What if Goku never came to earth? What if the Saiyans listened to Bardock? Each universe has a unique back story. Who knows how things would have went if Goku never hit his head, or what it would be like for him to fight the Goku we know and love! What if Goku and Vegeta did not difuse in the Buu Saga? What if Gohan failed against Cell? Or even Bojack!
These two are in the form of comics/manga. The next two are in the form of novelization.
DBZ Honor Trip:
Honor Trip takes place during and after the Cell Saga. Instead of Cell being defeated by Gohan, A swift kick in the head damaged Cell neurologically. This causes him to embrace all of the positive traits of the Z fighters he has copied in his D.N.A. Cell becomes a hero and is the main protagonist of this Fan Fic. Cell Helps future trunks take down his time lines androids, and even take down his evil counter part.
DBZ Bringer of Death
Bringer of Death is a Fan Fic based on Vegeta becoming the first Super Saiyan rather than Goku. Vegeta, now with his pride at maximum seeks to claim the empire of the Frost Demons, also known as Freeza and his family. The plot follows a similar pattern to canon, but with subtle changes due to fights brought about by the Super Prince of all Saiyans.
Now then!
The most recent episodes of great fan work.
Here is DBA Dragon Ball Absalon
Here is the most current episode of DBZ abridged.

UVM leader wants to make admissions harderTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | December 11,2012BURLINGTON The new president of the University of Vermont wants to reduce the number of undergraduate students on the Burlington campus and make the school harder to get in to for out-of-state applicants, as part of a plan to enhance the quality and affordability of the school.
But the increased selectivity would not come at the expense of Vermont students.
To help accomplish the goal, UVM is allocating up to $500,000 in surplus funds for beefing up efforts to meet the new goals in enrollment management.
The money will pay for enhanced student recruitment efforts via direct mail and by personal visits of admissions officers to high schools and college fairs, said UVM Vice President for Enrollment Management Chris Lucier.
Being more selective will also help attract better faculty, Lucier said.
Great faculty wants great students in their classroom and working with them on their research as undergraduates, Lucier said. If you have great faculty, students want to study at UVM to engage with the faculty in and out of the classroom.
The school also plans to hire three more admissions counselors who will focus on other areas, including Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, South Florida and southern California.
By the standard measure of selectivity, UVM was slightly less selective in 2012 than it was a decade ago. In the fall of 2002, UVM agreed to admit 71.5 percent of applicants. This year UVM accepted 76.6 percent.
UVM president Thomas Sullivans goal is to bring the figure down to about 65 percent, the Burlington Free Press reported.
Currently UVM accepts 70 percent to 75 percent of Vermont applicants.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

Berkeley County's state legislators talked shop at the annual Berkeley Chamber of Commerce legislative luncheon Friday. Topics ranged from roads and bridges to support for veterans.
Seven of the county's 11 state senators and representatives attended the luncheon speaking to a packed house of local civic and business leaders at the Redbank Club in Goose Creek. Attending were Senators Paul Campbell and Sean Bennett, and Representatives Joe Daning, Eddy Southard, Bill Crosby, Joe Jefferson and Samuel Rivers Jr.
Campbell discussed strengthening the state's DUI laws, proposing that first time offenders be required to install a digital ignition device in their cars after a conviction.
The senator also said the state's filing requirements for elected office need to be tweaked. "We lost some 200 qualified candidates for election last year because of the way the state required new candidates to file," he said.
Campbell also spoke of finding a means to increase revenue for the state's roads and bridges.
"The Secretary of Transportation says it's his job to manage the deterioration of South Carolina's roads and bridges," Campbell said. "If we don't give the DOT funds to repair our roads and bridges they can't do their jobs."
Campbell mentioned a proposal to raise the state tax on gas from 16 percent to 20 percent. He said the increase in the tax would result in a $160 million jump in revenue to repair the state's infrastructure. Neighboring states charge much more in state sales tax which offers South Carolina drivers some of the lowest gasoline prices in the nation. Currently Georgia charges 28 percent in state taxes and North Carolina 38 percent.
"We're increasing our fees and all that money will go back to the counties," said Campbell, who added that an average $50 million increase in revenue would mean $500,000 would go back to the counties to increase their roads and bridges funds. "We could generate approximately $600 million in revenue if all 46 counties approved a 1 cent sales tax like we have in Berkeley County."
Daning, who served as chairman of the delegation, said meetings like the legislative luncheon were important. "It's extremely important for the delegation to get out and talk to the folks," he said.
Daning spoke about the state waiving a one-year residency eligibility stipulation for in-state college tuition for military dependents moving into South Carolina. "We want to waive the one-year waiting period so anytime a military veteran moves into the state their dependents can go to a state public college and pay in-state tuition," he said.
Southard, representing District 100, stressed his continued loyalty to small business in his remarks. "I am a small businessman and my responsibility is to small businesses first," he said.
Southard mentioned a proposal in the legislature that would lower the tax on fixed assets from its present 10.5 percent to six percent for small businesses.
"This is something we're working very hard to pass," he said. "Those of you small business owners will be very happy to hear this and can appreciate that."
Southard's other main concern is the change of absentee and early voting laws.
"The early voting bill passed the house," he said. "Currently we don't allow early voting, we allow absentee voting. We changed it from 30 days to nine days allowable for any excuse. We will do away totally with absentee voting."
Crosby said many of his constituents were elderly and cannot physically wait in long lines.
"There are a lot of seniors up there that don't want to go stand in those lines," he said. "If this bill passes like it is and they only have nine days, I'm telling them to ask for curbside voting."
Jefferson said more physicians need to be made available to rural clinics and that he supports increasing responsibilities for physician's assistants.
"Increasing the responsibility would allow the PA's to carry on the functions of the doctors who may not be able to be there at any particular time," he said.
Jefferson, the lone Berkeley County Democrat, said the county's delegation forms "a pretty good team gathered in Columbia." "I like to think we're doing a pretty good job," he said, "And we're working very well together."

One of my favorite foods is cabbage because it's super versatile, has hardly any calories, is free of wheat and gluten, is great for digestion, and is beautiful in color (purple and green). It tastes awesome in salads, gives us valuable probiotics as pickled sauerkraut, plus it works perfectly as a "shell" to be stuffed with yummy fillings to make a delicious hand held treat. I'm currently reintroducing heart-healthy fats into my diet from flax and chia seeds (omega-3), some nuts (vitamin E and antioxidants), and olives to keep my skin supple and moist, especially now that autumn is upon us. I picked up a bunch of avocados at the Farmers' Market, but am disappointed they didn't make it into my bag!
Today, I filled up a red cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Watch our "How to Chiffonade" video I shot for Vegetarian Times Magazine: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/video/10). Please watch on the Vegetarian Times website to help generate viewer numbers. Thank you!
I'm also embedding it below from my own YouTube channel:
I first filled up my purple cabbage shell with Chiffonade green cabbage. Next, I layered on a Black Olive Tapenade, from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, page 155, and Candied Onions, inspired by my Buckwheat-Battered "Fried" Onion Rings, from page 116 of Ani's Raw Food Essentials, plus I added maple syrup to sweeten the onions. I then topped it all with artichoke hearts, and would have added avocado, if I had some on hand.
Black Olive Tapenade
Place all ingredients into food processor, mix well.
Will keep for a week or longer stored in fridge.
Candied Onions
Place all ingredients into mixing bowl. Set aside to marinate and wilt for at least 10 minutes. Add syrup to your liking. I choose to make this sweet! Squeeze excess liquid before using.
Will keep for several days in fridge.
Last night, I was invited to attend the 6th annual NetKal Gala at USC in Los Angeles, CA. I'm wearing my favorite Luxury Eco Designer Linda Loudermilk: gown made of organic silk, sustainable glass bead lace, ring and necklace made from recycled and remnant chain silver. Dorit Genazzani is my favorite makeup and hair artist, and I love how she makes me look beautiful…thanks Dorit!
There were over 500 Koreans and Korean Americans from the entertainment industry at the NetKal Gala, including actors, directors, producers, and studio executives. Jane Cha is Exec Producer for Project Runway, Ken Mok is creator and Exec Producer of America's Next Top Model, and Lisa Ling (below) from Our America on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Kenny G is still going strong, making music and performing. He's my one token non-Asian, and everyone was stoked to see him there. hahaaa
My good friend Namju Cho looks so pretty in her cocktail dress. We met when she interviewed me for a feature in KoreAm Journal.
Food was catered by my friends Pauline Perry, Joanne Purnell, and David Cho at Good Gracious.
To celebrate completing my book, I spent the day on my bicycle. Rode it about 25 miles to and from the ocean, and I was stoked the sun finally came out…even in Santa Monica (which seems to always be overcast, foggy, and cold compared to West Hollywood). While I was in Santa Monica, I stopped at the beach by the pier, where there's an adult playground with ropes to climb, balance beams, parallel bars, and a row of rings to swing on.
Since I'm a monkey (Chinese year of the Monkey) I was drawn to the rings. It looked hard, but it really doesn't take strength, but rather, finesse. You just have to get enough momentum, rocking back and forth, to swing and grab the next ring. That said, my hands were killing me, and I was on the kiddie set of rings! The adult set are really high up, and scary. But, perhaps I'll give them a try next time I visit the coast.
Whenever I find myself West of the 405, which is a rarity, I make sure to stop into see Juliano at Planet Raw for his kick-ass chocolate shake….that revs up my cycle back home. Yesterday, I enjoyed a burrito at Better Life Cuisine, and spent a couple hours catching up with Dr. Z, who owns that building.
Back in WEHO, I stopped at Beverly Juice Club for my favorite green juice shake blended with frozen banana and sunflower seeds (no added sweetener). Had hoped to get to my favorite Koreatown Sauna, but ran out of time. Instead, met my friend and his puppy at the park with Kanga, and they had a great doggie play date together. Then, met up with my brother, Max, for dinner later in the evening.
A great day it was celebrating life, love, health, sunshine, and ….with good friends and family. I'm blessed.
Labor Day marks the weekend my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kanga, and I rescued one another….9-years ago! How time flies. (and yes, I cake sunblock on my face, as you can see).
Kanga had been at the Humane Society for over 2 weeks, and no one adopted her. Surprising, since she is a beautiful specimen of this breed. Plus, she came fully trained, so someone had spent a lot of time and energy with her. She was skin and bone, and 50+ pounds underweight with kennel cough and dusty fur. Poor baby.
Luckily, a truck intercepted 20 dogs on their way to get euthanized, and brought them back to a no-kill shelter in Portland, OR called Family Dogs NW. This was where I found Kanga early the very next morning. I applied the same raw food principles to Kanga as I do for human healing, and over the next month or two she gained 50 pounds and regained radiant health on a Raw Food diet. You can read more about her journey in Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, where Kanga has her own dog food chapter.
My brother Max saw this photo of Kanga and said she looks like she's "mugging". I had to ask him what the heck that means. Max said "mugging = posing, like rappers do for pics". Hahaa. Yup, Kanga is a superstar, and very popular too. Folks always stop us to pet her, especially young children.
Kanga's from Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe Rhodesia, and the Sahara so she loves the sun, warmth, and sand. She hates water, but it was so hot out that Kanga got her paws wet. I love dog beach because here she can roam off-leash, and run free to play with other dogs.
Kanga and I love laying in the sand and soaking up the sun. It's never hot enough for us, and soaking up sun is one of our favorite past times. I'm happy I got to take Kanga to Huntington Dog Beach yesterday on the final hot day of the summer (it was 90 F) to celebrate her 9-year Bday and Dogversary with me. Thank you Kanga for being my family, love, and for hanging out with me for the past 9-years! I love you.
I visited Erewhon Natural Foods in Los Angeles on May 28, 2011 along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. Erewhon is my favorite Raw Food store. These beautiful photos are courtesy of the very talented Sherman Lee at http://www.digitalslimages.com.
Juan Hernandez, the store manager, makes sure to offer the largest range of Raw Food products and brand, and has created the nexus for Raw Foods here in LA. Juan was one of my earliest supporters of my SmartMonkey Foods packaged and prepared foods products.
Each year's visit celebrating my new book always draws a packed house. I love Erewhon!
I showed everyone how easy it is to make my Mushroom "Bul Go Gi", from Ani's Raw Food Asia, page 186, using mushrooms marinated in tamari or nama shoyu (raw soy sauce), toasted sesame oil, asian pear, and sweetener of choice like agave or brown rice syrup. We topped off these beautiful Lettuce Wraps, from page 188, with my version of a traditional Korean Gochujang Sauce, page 225, made with miso, sesame oil, chile powder, and sweetener like agave.
Following my food demo and Q+A…next, I get to sign books and meet people 1 on 1!
This tour, many people had me sign multiple copies of Ani's Raw Food Asia for friends and family. I do love when people bring their entire collection for me to sign too…..a blessing for me.
My friends Ron Gilmore and Caroline Jue create an awesome animated series called Rawman & Green-Girl. They are doing great work educating and sharing information about our food sources.
Elaine R. Johnson hand delivered this beautiful porcelain sculpture she made to me all the way from Arizona with her mom. Elaine is amazingly talented. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for such a beautiful gift.
This is the beautifully talented Elaine R. Johnson. She told me how challenging porcelain is to work with….cracking as it dries, or cracking out of the kiln during baking. A labour of love, it shows!
My first stop in Portland, OR was to shoot a 6-minute segment with host Dave Anderson for AM Northwest on KATU TV. I show Dave how to make a Vegetable Nori Roll from Ani's Raw Food Asia. Dave's lost a ton of weight since I saw him along my last tour, and looks great. He said he cut out processed foods and cut back on alcohol.
Here I am above with AM Northwest co-host Helen Raptis.
Next stop was Yummy Tummy Cafe for a lunchtime fuel-up on a gallon of Norwalk green juice; chocolate covered jungle peanuts; and a ruben sandwich made from flax seeds, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. Omg, seriously yummy tummy! And, a book signing meet-and-greet. From here, I was shuttled over to the KBOO radio station for an interview, and then finally ended up at Powell's Books downtown for a talk and book signing.
I got to visit Powell's rare book room, where I sat and signed a stack of my books, including Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Peter Hanfileti is a very dear, long-time family friend from when I was in middle school…that's so long ago! He's an MD and acupuncturist in Vancouver, WA.
Kris Dyer may look familiar because he's in my first book, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, which I wrote when I still lived in Portland. Kris was also one of our SmartMonkeys! I love tour because it allows me to visit friends I haven't seen in a while. The weather was dry and sunny, just like last year in Portland! I love that city especially when the weather is gorgeous. Plus, the city's blanketed with WiFi.
I was honored to have been invited to speak on a panel with superstars (from left to right above) Rachelle Carson Begley (married to Ed Begley), Sophie Uliano (NYTimes best selling author), Izabella Miko (actress), Carly Harrill (blogger ghost writer), Karen Stewart Brown (fashion designer), Kris Willey (host of WotGG), and Alexandra Spunt (author).
The focus of this panel was how we came into our careers. I explained how I used to work in a corporate environment that was not recycling, was wasting energy, and was using styrofoam cups for one 4 ounce shot of water. I realized my raw food catering and the weekly events I was hosting (to feed myself good food) was a successful business. So, I decided to leave corporate America to focus 100% on my prepared packaged foods, catering, and events. I followed my bliss because I believed raw foods helped people feel better and healthier. It also helps us tread lightly on our Planet.
This event was held in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA on Saturday May 14, 2011. These beautiful photos are courtesy of photosbyKailas.com. Thanks Kailas!
The 1st stop along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia was at Santa Monica Place at Artisanal LA on April 16, 2011. Here are 4 short videos from my talk, Q+A, and book signing:
1) Ani's Raw Food Asia – I love organic, local, seasonal foods
2) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Probiotics, Happiness, Longevity
3) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Easy ways to add more raw to any diet!
4) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Recipe inspirations and sources for protein.
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.

RadioShack to sell iPhone 4 starting on launch day
RadioShack's corporate Twitter account has just announced that The Shack will be offering up Apple's latest and greatest device, iPhone 4, on launch day - June 24th.
YES! RadioShack will have #iPhone4 at launch. More info tomorrow.
RadioShack now joins the ranks of Apple, Best Buy, and AT&T stores in selling iPhone 4. Where do you plan on going come June 24th?
Sound off in the comments below!

RadioShack to sell iPhone 4 starting on launch day
Oopppsss I forgot ..... Matt: 20-16
since I'm using my iPhone with Tmobile, I need to get one at Full Price. Up to $700 :(
I really don't care. I'll go where they have the phone, can swipe my credit card and sign me up for the correct plan with no residual difficulties.
Apple Store! Just kidding, can't afford this yet since I'm already on AT&T lol. But if I could, definitely Apple Store.
Perhaps a silly question, because I have never upgraded my 3G, but, if you buy it at Radio Shack/Best Buy, how do you go about activation and setting up your contract? For that matter, how does it work with an online order? I am slightly leery of the process this time because I want to keep my grandfathered unlimited contract.
RADIOSHACK!!!! considering I work there lol
Since I work for RadioShack, it's only natural for me to use my upgrade and get the iPhone 4. I might just get the 32GB version since I have a gift card too! Product trade-ins are accepted at any time, just make sure you bring in all OEM accessories with the device.
nope no employee discount on the phone. only accessories. and no the only way to check about the trade in program is to actually bring the stuff to the store. and u can only trade in 3 devices a day
How much credit do you get with a 32gb 3G[S]?
Will be selling JB 3G with 3.1.2/5.11.07 firmware on ebay. Then buying 32GB at Best Buy using pay in full within 18 month.
By then I'll be ready to swing around and start the process again to purchase the iPhone 5 or 6 or whatever it'll be calling in 2 yrs.
Can't we just preorder upgrades online via AT&T or Apple, thus avoiding queueing and potentially being disappointed if they run out and still get it delivered on launch day?
I will be holding on to my 3G as a backup for a while and may sell it on ebay as I imagine I can get more for it on ebay (even after the iP4 release) than as a trade in.
you get like $250 for the iPhone 3gs depending on the condition
PreOrder at Apple Store. Works perfect.
Lol. Mine is already refurbished. No matter what serial they check, its gonna start with a 5. Same thing i did with my 16gb 3g, just put refurb in description. It is arguable though as the only thing refurbed on the phone is the board and everything attached to it. The face, back, buttons are all new. In my experience, refurbes have are better quality than new phones. Either way. I always describe my items on ebay and y im selln it. Lol.
Getting mine on RadioShack, they are accepting pre-orders on the 15th, is a dissapointment that AT&T isn't accepting pre-orders.
How much for a contract-less, officially unlocked iPhone 4?
A couple questions for those that are experts in such matters. :)
I want to pre-order. I am not eligible for the full upgrade, but I am eligible for the "discounted" price, which I guess means I don't have to pay the fullretail price, but I won't be getting the cheapest price, either. Which is honestly ok wih me, I just want the phone!! So my first question is, if I pre-order with Apple, are the able to give the "discounted" price, or is it only AT&T that will do that?
My second question. I'm leaving for vacation on the 23rd, but I desperately want the phone for vacation. The first city I'm gouge to has an Apple Store. Can I select to pick it up there? Because I will just go there that morning and get it, but I just didn't know if i could randomly pick what store I wanted to pick it up in.
Which briNgs me to question three. I know that no matter where I am, there will be a crowd. If you have pre-ordered, do you have to wait in the massive crowd, or do you get to go to the front of the line, or even a separate line?
That's all for now! Thanks for the help!
Sold my 3G 16gb already on ebay for $425, I'm preordering mine to be shipped to me at work. Who here thinks I'll be able to concentrate AT ALL that day? Me neither :D
RadioShack has never participated in an Apple iPhone pre-order before, but if it's anything like the HTC EVO 4G pre-order then each customer will get a assigned a time to come in and receive their phone before the store even opens for normal business hours.

While most high schoolers are focused on the upcoming Christmas break, the Rudder Rangerettes are concentrating on staying in synch.
While the high school football season may be over, the Rangerettes aren't done dancing. In fact, they're getting ready for a performance they'll remember forever-halftime at the Cotton Bowl.
"This is almost a once in a high school time experience," said Junior Abby Kurwitz.
Kurwitz is the captain of the squad that found out last February they'd be a part of the Cotton Bowl festivities.
"Well one, there was screaming," said Kurwitz when the team found out.
"It's phenomenal, I'm so excited," said senior Connor Hancock
Hancock is another one of the 17 Rangerettes that will be high stepping it in Big D.
"It's kind of nerve wrecking knowing we'll be performing in front of so many people," said Hancock.
The team will perform a four minutes routine with six other drill teams from all over the country. Even though it's not a long performance, the team wants to be perfect.
"It is a lot of stress, but I think the girls can handle it,"said Kurwitz
"We're kind of used to it as dancers. We hold hour long practices that lead up to a two and half minute performance," said Hancock.
"We just think about it as a performance, not about how much time it is. Just the fact we get to be at Jerry's World and performing,"said Kurwitz
And to top it off, the Rudder Rangerettes won't be the only team at the Cotton Bowl representing the Brazos Valley. When A&M got the invite to game, the Rangerettes were pleasantly surprised.
"Just to be there with our team, it's amazing. It's awesome,"said Kurwitz
"Finding out that A&M was going was just the cherry on top," said Hancock.
Apparently life couldn't be much sweeter for the Rangerettes.
The team went to New York this past November to perform at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

It's just another day of high school for Zack Lightman. He's daydreaming through another boring math class, with just one more month to go until graduation and freedom - if he can make it that long without getting suspended again. Then he glances out his classroom window and spots the flying saucer.
"I loved Ready Player One. Hated Armada"
A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far - a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes. "Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades.
"More Hodges, less parallels..."
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. "Jess and Jason," she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good? Compulsively readable, The Girl on the Train is an emotionally immersive, Hitchcockian thriller and an electrifying debut.
"Don't Compare, Just Enjoy"
The folks in Mike Erikson's small New England town would say he's just your average, everyday guy. And that's exactly how Mike likes it. Sure, the life he's chosen isn't much of a challenge to someone with his unique gifts, but he's content with his quiet and peaceful existence. That is, until an old friend presents him with an irresistible mystery, one that Mike is uniquely qualified to solve.
An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, best-selling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.
"To Kill A Mockingbird vs Go Set A Watchman"
Two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize David McCullough tells the dramatic story behind the story about the courageous brothers who taught the world how to fly: Wilbur and Orville Wright.
On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Wilbur and Orville Wright's Wright Flyer became the first powered, heavier-than-air machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard. The Age of Flight had begun. How did they do it? And why?
"Untapped Potential"
Amos Decker's life changed forever - twice. The first time was on the gridiron. A big, towering athlete, he was the only person from his hometown of Burlington ever to go pro. But his career ended before it had a chance to begin. On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field for good and left him with an improbable side effect - he can never forget anything.
"Another great Baldacci novel"
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel.
"Time well spent"

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.

"Completely Engaging"
Why we think it's a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand's done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds.

"E + P 4-ever!"
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams.

But he was soon overcome by the herd of rambunctious, resilient children.
"Amazing experience + Inspiring tale"
Why we think it's a great listen: The most celebrated performance in all of Audible's history, The Help has nearly 2,000 5-star reviews from your fellow listeners. We hear the print book's not bad, either. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another.
"What a great surprise!"
Why we think it's a great listen: A performance so poignant, we gave Bronson Pinchot (yes, Balki from Perfect Strangers) our inaugural Narrator of the Year award....

But two people stand in his way.
Why we think it's a great listen: Some books are meant to be read; others are meant to be heard – Water for Elephants falls into the second group, and is one of the best examples we have of how a powerful performance enhances a great story. Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus. It's the Depression Era and Jacob, finding himself parentless and penniless, joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.
"Great Narration!!"

"A Journey Into the Unknown"
Why we think it's a great listen: Got 40 hours to kill? You'll find the time when you start listening to Lee's take on Follett's epic – and widely celebrated – novel of 12th-century England. The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul...and of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame....
Why we think it's a great listen: There's no gentle way to put this – Frank McCourt's performance of Angela's Ashes is just better than the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Frank McCourt shares his sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking story of growing up poor, Irish, and Catholic in the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela's Ashes.
"A classic book *and* a classic audiobook"

You believe you are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is, but journalist David McRaney is here to tell you that you're as deluded as the rest of us.

"Happy addition to a difficult genre"
Why we think it's a great listen: When it comes to author/narrator pairings, nobody tops James Lee Burke and Will Patton in the Robicheaux thrillers. Beloved Burke hero Detective Dave Robicheaux here returns to New Iberia to solve a series of grisly murders. Seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish have been brutally murdered. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais, a high-school honor student, doesn't fit.
"Best Yet... Almost"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's a story that most people know, told here in an unforgettable way – an audio masterpiece that rivals the best thrillers, thanks to Capote genre-defining words and Brick's subtle but powerful characterizations. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.

And in that time span, an unforgettable cast of men, women, and children come to life, many of them based on the people from Alex Haley's own family tree.
"A Masterpiece"
Why we think it's a great listen: If you ever thought history was boring, David McCullough's performance of his fascinating book will change your mind.

"Great Book"

"I Owe Stephen King An Apology"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender's Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long.

""Mean girls", magicians, mansions, and more!"
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.
From the internationally best-selling author of the acclaimed novel The Power of the Dog comes The Cartel, a gripping, ripped-from-the-headlines story of power, corruption, revenge, and justice spanning the past decade of the Mexican-American drug wars.

"Boring, Babbling repititions."
At some point every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection.

"Pure Gold"
For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was "the gasoline of all adventure." She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call.

It's a part of the world known mainly for its romantic descriptions by Wordsworth and the much-loved illustrated children's books of Beatrix Potter. But James' world is quite different. His way of life is ordered by the seasons and the work they demand.
"An important and poetic life"
ISIS, the most maniacal terrorist organization the modern world has ever seen, is poised to make their most audacious strike yet.
