- Reviewed by: John Falcone
- Reviewed on: 04/27/2007
- Released on: 04/29/2007
The good: Excellent selection of games, including many 360-only exclusives; all games are in native high-definition; user-friendly Dashboard interface; supports wireless controllers and accessories; Xbox Live service offers online multiplayer (with matchmaking and voice chat) and content downloads for most games; backward compatible with many--but not all--original Xbox titles; doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media extender; online Marketplace allows easy purchases of minigames, add-on gaming content, high-def movies, and TV shows.
The bad: The Elite fails to correct most of the annoyances of the original 360 version: the noisy DVD drive and cooling fan; a gigantic, oversize power supply; no built-in wireless networking; only three USB ports; a substandard DVD player; online gaming requires a paid subscription to Xbox Live; proprietary wireless format limits third-party accessories.
The bottom line: While it's neither a must-have upgrade for existing 360 owners nor as feature-packed as the PS3, the Xbox 360 Elite's combination of top-notch gaming and digital media features make it the current game console of choice.

Its Xbox 360... Improved!
by sebassupastar on April 20, 2007
Pros: HDMI - 120gb... and all the magic that makes 360 a winner.
Cons: Lots of cons... see review for details.
Summary: Ok. First : This hasn`t been released yet. And I don`t think an honest review of the product can be made so far. Screw the PS3 vs Xbox flamers ...
Summary: Ok. First : This hasn`t been released yet. And I don`t think an honest review of the product can be made so far. Screw the PS3 vs Xbox flamers that keep ******** over their favourite console`s competitor.
If you`re a 360 owner already, this is not a very welcome addition from microsoft cuz it probably pisses you off that you don`t get it and its not a good buying option for you. But this console isn`t on the market for 360 owners... I feel your pain, but ****, no1 wans to hear you ranting about it.
Now, if you`re in the market for a next-gen console, the 360 elite has alot to offer you.
Pros :
1. Actually, huge library of games (in comparison of ps3). tho in a year or so it may even out.
2. Faster loading times for games (vs ps3)
3. Multi platform games are being developped for the XBOX first, so the other versions are usually less good.
4. Game developpers find it more easy to develop games on the XBOX due to its 3 general-purpose processors. That probably means that more games will come out on Xbox360.
5. Included headset, HDMI cable. (ps3 dont)
6. Controllers have a good feel. (ps3 dont)
7. Possible HD-DVD capability (for an extra $200). I put this as an advantage because, if you dont want it you dont pay for it. And if you want it, well its better to have a separate unit play your high def dvds, this way you don`t use up your console. (remember how playing dvds made your last gen consoles screw up).
8. Peer to peer online (vs ps3 dedicated servers.) Well even if this usually means more lag in games, it also means developpers don`t have to spend extra money to include online support in their games. Ps3 devs must run dedicated servers which cost them money. And no1 guarantees they will support it forever.
9. Games look better. Go read reviews about it. No arguing here. Not bcuz the 360 is a better machine but see #3 and #4.
10. Because it was released first, has the market advantage.
Cons :
1. You pay for online (ps3 is free)
2. Game developpers have to develop games with minimal hd use to accomodate all 360 owners since MS had the great idea to release a HD-less version of the 360.
3. Machine is less powerful than ps3. More limited in capacity. Might be overcome by ps3 2-3 years from now.
4. 360`s have a history of breaking down at a freaky rate. Some people report having to change their xbox up to 5 times since its release due to console failure. Thankfully microsoft replaces them (with refurbished parts). Don`t know if the new elite will be fixed, but buy the store exchange program if u can. (ps3 has had reports of console probles also, but comes nothing close to the plague-level of broken 360`s)
5. Xbox is sided with HD-DVD, a media that will probably lose the high definition media war due to its weak marketing strategy.
6. Nothing is free with xbox live.
7. Lack of good RPG games in its libary. Sony is known to hold the exclusives with many japanese RPG developpers. too bad.
8. Wireless internet connection is not included and costs $120 CAD (for the MS part) you can find a regular part for half that price though. (ps3 has it included)
Bottom line :
What makes this console a better choice has nothing to do with its specs as it is inferior to the ps3 in that area. Its the gaming community`s choice because a) it was released first b) has more games c) game developers like it more, making it the first choice.
Price is not and advantage at all with the 360. If you put both consoles in comparison, the 360 actually costs more. That is if you want it to have High def media capacity and wireless internet capability like the PS3.
A tough choice, but I`m going for the 360 elite when it comes out hoping it wont break for a while.Updated
Update on Con #7.
Square, the game developper behind the Final Fantasy series, and a leader in the RPG gaming scene has broken the exclusivity with sony and has announced that its next installment in the FF series will not be a ps3 exclusive.
This probably means that they will develop games for the 360.
This announcement alone has a huge effect on sony`s playsation fanbase. Go read the playstation and xbox forums. See how ps3 fans are crying and how xbox fans are laughing.Updated
Square, the game developper behind the very famous Final Fantasy game series, a leader in the RPG gaming scene, has just announced that it has broken the exclusives with sony and that the next installement in the FF series will not be a ps3 exclusive.
Though they haven`t confirmed it yet, its a safe assumption the next FF game is coming to X360.
This is a big blow to the sony fanbase. The forum community is shocked by this press release.Updated
I went and bought this system.
Here`s what I bought with it.
1 elite remote
1 play & charge kit
1 12 month xbox live card
1 wireless network adapter
1 extended warranty (Read down to see why)
Basic gear, nothing fancy here. Ended up laying down more than 1000$ (cdn) for the gaming system and to have it be online ready (1 year then another $60). Its far from the $550 price tag and might make you think twice before diving in the new-gen console market. Maybe you can save a few bucks if u don`t need the wireless adapter.
Picked up the 3-year extended warranty (100$cnd) from Future Shop. I was compelled to do it by the bad reputation the console has. All numerous reviews on the poor reliability for the xbox360 console and all the nightmare stories you can read from users who had to return theirs more than once were more than enough reason to grab the warranty.
I NEVER buy those extended warranty. I know they`re a rip-off. But they have proven useful to many xbox360 users who have had theirs fail. Get a brand new one instead of a refurb that won`t last past a few months.

Some of you are not too smart

Summary: Alright, I can't believe how stupid some of your "reviews" are. First of all, MS isn't aiming this product at current 360 owners. DUH. *** would they? They don't expect current owners to pony up more $$$.
Secondly, one of you completely left out the fact that the HDMI output is included. OMG it's only 1.2 and not 1.3? How dare they! Gimme a break. You clearly can't please everyone. If MS had released it with 1.3, people would complain about that. MS will always be this "evil" corporation that can do no right.
Lastly, who needs a 120GB HD? People who know that IPTV is being developed, that's who.
Your reviews are void if you're a fanboy. Make an objective review of the product, don't bash it purely to bash it. It's hilarious how anti-MS everyone is. Yet, if Apple does the same thing, it's OK.Updated

Summary: This is great for anyone who hasn't purchased their new next gen consoles. The Elite system retails at $479.99. Also microsoft is selling the 120gb hdd (in gray, price TBD) Considering these prices anyone wanting an xbox360 and want the extra storage this system will be much cheaper than buying the hdd alone. A new xbox system is $399.99, a 20gb hdd cost $99.99, and lastly an Xbox360 Elite with 120gb hdd, black snazy casing, and HDMI support for $479.99 is a good price. Where a regular 360 with 120gb hdd would cost same as ps3.
All the ps3 flamers should stop it's imature why do you care so much keep your comments to yourselfs. Besides of all the ps3's I have tried to try, two were locked up and the third locked up two minutes after I started playing (in stores such as EB games and gamestop)
Games for ps3 too hard to write b/cuz of the processors. And the blue ray lags ps3 b/cuz it is so much slower than the current technology. Bluetooth took a leap and will not be ready for much much longer in the mean time all the titles for ps3 have gone to its main competitor (xbox)

Excellent Software, TERRIBLE HARDWARE! This is a Slap in the Face to Early Adopters.
by mamyint on May 31, 2007
Pros: HDMI, 120 GB, Excellent Microsoft Game Studio Exclusives, Excellent Controller
Cons: TERRIBLE HARDWARE

Summary: I proudly purchased an Xbox the day it launched. I had so much fun playing Halo and was so impressed with the graphics of the Xbox 360 that I bought one even though I swore I would save up for a PS3.
First off, let me say that I loved Gears of War online. It goes down as the best online co-op experience I have ever had. No doubt about that. For that, I give the Xbox 360 serious props.
Now...my issues. First off, the hardware is terrible. How many people have had to suffer at the hands of the dreaded 3 red lights? I have...twice. I lost 2 months of my Xbox Live Gold subscription that I paid for due to repairs! Thankfully Microsoft didn't charge me a penny for the repairs, but as you can imagine, I was pretty ticked off.
I bought an Xbox 360 about a month after it came out. I was so happy when I got it and played Fight Night until my hands were sore. I was dazzled by the HD graphics. My PS2, god bless it, just couldn't compete...
Obviously, if Microsoft thought that HDMI and a larger (13.2 GB... after format...) hard drive were important, they probably should've added that in the first place. What I am so angry about is that not only is my "Premium" system no longer premium, but it would cost me $179 + tax to upgrade my HDD? AND I still don't have HDMI? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I spent $400+ on my console at launch for a faulty system and now I have to put another $200 down to get it somewhat close to the new "Elite"?
The white Xbox looks like crap compared to the new one. I feel so jipped. Is that how a loyal customer should feel?
I was so excited to play Mass Effect and Bioshock and Halo 3, but now I'm not nearly as excited anymore. Why? Because I have some second rate, reject Xbox 360 that I swear is going to break down at any minute. Rather than deal with my ticking time bomb, I was fortunate enough to find a friend who really wanted a 360. I was able to sell it to him for about $400. I took the loss on the controller and games.
Now I have more money to spend on PS3 games this fall/winter.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to hate on the Xbox 360. I'm hating on Microsoft. They've got a pretty good package. The Xbox 360 is a pretty good deal overall. It's got some really sweet games and Xbox Live is fantastic.
But wake up people. The hardware BLOWS...that's not an opinion, it's a known fact. The hardware is inferior to the PS3. I would never spend $200 for an external HD-DVD player! Yeah you can get 1080p with it, but you get 1080p analog, not 1080p like you would with HDMI...Did anyone think of that?
I'm just pissed off at Microsoft for scamming me.
The Xbox 360 Elite looks great on paper, but it sure does suck when you're sitting on the phone talking to "Max" the retarded, automated help dude that answers every Xbox Support Call.
I don't want to talk to Max, I "effing" want to talk to Bill; to give him a piece of my mind for scamming me.Updated
HDMI 1.2?!?!?! What the $*#! is that all about? They add HDMI and still can't get it right...Would it kill them to add current technology to their "Elite" system?
Seriously...this is like a company releasing hardware with USB 1.1 ports or 802.11b Wi-Fi...Yeah it works, but it's a generation too late...

Great choice for 1st Xbox!

Pros: Excellent graphics, up-converts DVD's to HD (great quality), included HDMI cable a plus, 120GB Hard Drive
Cons: None that really affect me. It is a bit loud, but seriously, the sound of your games (or movies) will drown it out with no problem.

Summary: I bought the Xbox 360 Elite yesterday and so far I love everything about it. I am not a hard-core gamer (I have not owned a game console since the Nintendo 64), but I wanted a next-generation console and decided to wait a bit. I hooked up the Xbox to my Samsung 32" HDTV and it looks amazing. I have only played Call of Duty 3 so far, but I have to say that I'm very impressed with the graphics and gameplay. I'm also getting Halo 3 as soon as I can. I like that there are many games for the Xbox 360 right now. The included wireless controller is great (my wife liked the fact that there will not be cables lying around). The included HDMI cable is a plus considering these can be expensive. I watched a couple of episodes of 24 using the Xbox and I have no complaints as far as quality. I can't find a difference between the Xbox DVD player and my current LG DVD player. They both up-convert very well with no visible differences. The 120GB HD might be a little too much, but I would rather have more space than I need than just enough.
I can't speak for those of you who already own an Xbox 360, bur for those of you who don't, I think the Xbox 360 Elite is a great choice for only $80 more than the Premium version. I know the PS3 has "better hardware", but it's too expensive, I don't really want a Blu-Ray player, and I don't need my game console to have Wi-Fi.

Summary: The Elite system is really geared towards the people that already have a HDTV and really want to show it off. But if you don't have an HDTV and like the look and the 120GB, you don't need an HDDVD drive. That's why the 360s are cheaper than the PS3 in the first place. You can't go wrong with either the Elite or the "normal" 360, especially when Halo 3 comes out. I do really like the expanded hard drive for all the new shows that the marketplace is coming out with though, good move.

Summary: First I must say I really enjoy the Xbox. You already know why you want this machine. I bought my elite right before the release of Halo3. I waited hoping that I would get the latest version of the xbox360. I waited till after all the bugs where worked out by the early adopters. The stories of overheating I attributed to noobs packing their console into too tight a place. The loud fan and drive noises had plenty of time to be corrected. This is what I thought.3-2009
After only a few months the happy green glow ring on my console turned red.
I found that this means my Xbox now qualifies for a free all expense paid round trip to Mc Allen, Texas. Once there it will spend February in a rehab facility where it can cool off while attending the mandatory xbox360 factory reunion. I am still waiting for my revised TexBox360 to return home but it is March now and it is Spring Break and Texas is warm………..
Updated on Mar 20, 2009
WOW almost exactly a year since my xbox360 Elite was returned. And Guess what just happened? You are right! My xbox has indicated (by the use of the red ring) that it would like to go back to Texas today the First day of spring. I knew that most xboxs are obligated to go for a factory reunion once, but I didn?t imagine that it was going to be yearly event! Of course MS pays it for but last time it was gone for about 50 days and the unit that was returned was not even the one I sent in. I still really enjoy my xbox gaming but this console design is STUPID. Why did you guys at MS decide to jam this noisy bunch of inefficient hardware into such a small box? Please rebuild mine twice as big, half as noisy and more reliable then I would be much happier.

Summary: I have been a gamer from the start. From the Atari 2600, NES, Playstation, the original Xbox. This system is the best one yet with the original NES being a close 2nd. The black color choice is great looks good sitting in the enertainment center. I like the fact that I can rip music to the hard drive or hook up my MP3 player to it. The games for it a great. Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 have been the best so far. The only negatives are the big bulky power adapter, you have to hide behind something and the fact that the system is very loud. Mine sounds like plane trying to take off. But I can take all that because once you start playing the games you forget about all the negatives.

Summary: if you're a gamer you've most likely chosen your gaming syatem already. however if your one of those that are in between and you want to play games. buy this, period. the only con i have is the hd failure. i have the xbox 360 since launch and it took two years for my first one to break. that was one i purchased two weeks earlier. then the halo edition burn out after one month. then my trusted premium from two years ago bit the dust. the bright side within 3 weeks all three were back at my door brand new. with the 65nn chipset(supposedly no overheating, we'll see).
pros- apart from mario and two games on the ps3 you arent missing much chosing the xbox 360.

TOLEDO - Toledo (4-6) closes out its non-conference slate and looks to build momentum for league play with a 1:00 p.m. New Year's matinee vs. Great West foe Chicago State (3-12). The Rockets will be playing their first game on Dec. 31 since a 90-53 home win over Mississippi Valley State in 1989.
UT possesses an all-time ledger of 7-1 in games played on New Year's Eve.
Toledo has won eight of its last nine home games dating back to last year and Saturday's 74-55 win over UIC gave UT back-to-back wins for the first time this year.
UT has played the fewest home contests (two) of any Mid-American Conference school with all the other schools enjoying four or more home dates.
Toledo features the MAC's top scorer with junior G Rian Pearson leading the league at 19.7 ppg. Sophomore G Julius Brown also appears in the Top 10 and is in eighth place with his 14.2 scoring mark.
Pearson has been named the MAC West Division Player of the Week twice this season and needs just nine points to reach the 1,000-point mark for his collegiate career. He scored 205 (6.4 ppg) as a freshman at Green Bay in 2009-10, 589 (16.4 ppg) last year and has 197 this season.
Toledo has picked up right where it left off as one of the MAC's top free-throw shooting squads. UT tops the conference at 74.4 percent after leading the league last year with a 72.6 mark.
Four of Toledo's six losses have been by six points or less – 84-81 (OT) at Northern Iowa, 78-73 at Cleveland State, 79-73 at Detroit and 72-66 at Florida Gulf Coast.
Chicago State is winless in 10 road contests following Saturday's 87-44 loss at Ohio State.
Senior F Jeremy Robinson leads CSU with 9.7 ppg but was held scoreless and played just nine minutes vs. the Buckeyes. Junior G Quinton Pippen ranks second on the team in scoring with 9.3 ppg and tallied a team-high 12 points vs. OSU.

Ive got a new computer - specs below. Ive reinstalled the system from scratch - new WinXP installation, new IDE installation - everything.
Now the emmulator runs slow as hell (much slower then on my old p4 1.2mhz 256meg). Ive tried the MIDP SDK 2.1, the emmulator runs great speedwise, but its written so badly its useless (no roundRect support, no transparancy support, and thats just noticable from 2 minutes of using).
Im developing for the 6600, and since there is no specific emmulator ive been using the oddly named emmulator in the topic (Series_60_MIDP_Concept_SDK_BETA_0_3_1 emmulator).
Since there is no complete tool installation guide, and Nokia's tools are named so miserably (sdk, developer's suite, sdk concept beta, concept sdk beta and so forth...) I have no way of finding a replacement tool...
Can anyone help?
Oh - and on a closing note - I cant wait for Siemens to take over the market. Nokia's developer's support is so poor, their emmulators are so buggy, its hell developing for them. As soon as any other company takes over the market im outta here.
And I know im not the only one frustrated with Nokia's support. And no - I dont think I need to pay for developer support, since its MY work that sells those phones to the end user, yet Nokia doesnt pay ME anything.
Please help me on this frustrating subject...

ENTERTAINMENT: take no notice of the person who said it was like Butlins, ( I doubt they'd ever been to Butlins) yes there are plenty of quizzes an fun games, but I'd like to know what other he would do 4000 passengers especially on the "sea days". There are lots of people who like to keep their brains active when away from home and it's all good clean fun. I do agree about the sun lounges they do get filled up quickly especially the padded ones. There are enough things going on for everybody young and old. For children and teenagers there is no way on this earth that these members of the family can be bored there's the flow rider surf simulator, rock climbing wall, amusements, pools tables, mini golf, sports court an many more. The Royal Promenade comes alive a few of the nights with spectacular parades. The ships entertainments manager Joff Eaton was a real star his sense of humour is second to none he's soooooo witty, funny and very very friendly.
DINING: there are so many different places to eat with the Windjammer cafè being the most popular it's open from breakfast till late, but be warned it does get busy at times, but the quantity and quality of food that they provide is beautiful I'm a very fussy eater, but managed to find something to satisfy my taste buds on the few occasions we ate in there. We always chose to dine at 6pm in one of the huge dining rooms, we were in Macbeth on a table of 8, but only 6 of us turned up, but we had a laugh every night and chatted about our day adventures etc.
PORTS OF CALL: with regards to the trips I firmly believe you do your homework prior to sailing and read the information sheets put in your cabin on a daily basis an the one that has ALL the trips on is in your cabin on day one. . .
I have to use crutches or at times my wheelchair and found most of the people very obliging, what did make me and plenty of others cross is the way that a lot of people used the lift for one floor esp the youngsters!! One couple I spoke to walked up and down several flights of stairs to the dining room etc as and when and they counted the steps 156 steps in all.

Of all the Mystery Science Theater 3000 productions that I've seen, Mitchell might be my favorite. I don't know. It's really good. This is a .gif I made from Mitchell a few years ago:
That .gif represents collective panic. I am including it here because reliever Daniel Bard has lately caused a lot of Red Sox fans to panic. Bard, as you probably know, has been a rock in the Red Sox bullpen. A year ago, he posted a 1.93 ERA with more than a strikeout per inning. Through August this season, he had a 2.03 ERA with more than a strikeout per inning. Strikeouts? Control? Ground balls? An eye-popping fastball? Bard had everything, and he looked like one of the top relievers in the league.
Then, September:
4-2/3 innings
10 runs
5 walks
5 strikeouts
Bard took a blown save (albeit one of those weird setup-man blown saves) on September 1. He took a loss and allowed five runs on September 7. He took a loss and allowed a run on two hits on September 10. And this Wednesday he took a loss and allowed three runs. It was his third loss in three appearances, and given that the Red Sox have been in a team slump and that their fan base isn't known for being level-headed, Bard's struggles have become a pretty big story. Is he finished? What if he's finished? What hope do the Red Sox have if they can no longer count on Daniel Bard?
Bard, certainly, has not been good. And he's chosen a lousy time to not be good. That's a problem. But the more I look at this, the less reason I see for grave concern.
His velocity is pretty much intact. There was a small dip, but yesterday his fastball averaged 97 miles per hour. That's right in the neighborhood of where it's always been, so it's not like Bard has lost his bullets.
He says he's healthy. From Nick Cafardo:
"He's a guy that will bounce back. His arm's feeling great and healthy. We'll get it back going in the right direction.''
Really, Bard's biggest problem has been control. Throwing strikes. On September 7, he threw just 17 of 36 pitches for strikes. Wednesday, he threw just 11 of 21 pitches for strikes. In those two appearances, Bard allowed eight runs on two hits, which tells you how much he's been his own enemy.
And we're talking about a small sample of games, and an issue Bard's faced before. Between May 13-15 this year, Bard threw 29 of 59 pitches for strikes. Between July 16-23, he threw 43 of 76 pitches for strikes. Between June 8-10 of last season, he threw 20 of 41 pitches for strikes. Between July 19-22, he threw 21 of 43 pitches for strikes. Between September 4-11, he threw 33 of 71 pitches for strikes. He bounced back from each of those slumps. He had a little problem, he fixed it, and he resumed being very good.
Which isn't to say that any struggle can be written off if it's a struggle a player's had before. But with Bard, I just don't see any evidence that this is anything more than a blip. From a column by Brian McPherson:
"The timing with my delivery is just not there," [Bard] said. "I can feel it on every pitch. Something feels a little bit different. I've been through it before."
"It's something I've fixed before, and I'll fix it again," Bard said. "I'll do what it takes the next couple of days to put in the work and find my delivery again."
Bard believes that his mechanics are a little off. I went through some comparison video and I couldn't spot anything. I'm no mechanics expert, but I have a pretty good idea what I'm doing, and there was nothing obvious. The problem is thus presumably minor, maybe a release-point consistency issue, and I feel comfortable in assuming that Bard will get back on track. Like he says, he's dealt with this before.
Daniel Bard is in a slump. That much is clear. Yet the Red Sox remain odds-on favorites to make the playoffs, and once they're in there, I don't see much compelling reason to believe that Bard will be a liability. The timing of his struggles increases their visibility, but not their significance.

Glastonbury 2011: Jessie J upstaged by young starlet
6:24pm Saturday 25th June 2011 in What's On By Rory McKeown
A YOUNG girl stole the show as pop star Jessie J performed on the Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2011.
Jessie J hobbled her way onto the stage using crutches after a fall earlier this week and sat upon a giant throne for her performance.
The girl - known as Shaye - was chosen from the crowd by Jessie J herself to sing along to her hit single Price Tag on stage – and the youngster did not disappoint.
Showing maturity beyond her years, the girl matched Jessie J's song word for word and was met by huge applause from thousands of pop fans.
Earlier this afternoon, confident indie band Yuck entertained the John Peel Stage and The Walkmen, hailing from the USA, performed on the Park Stag, and basked in the rare sunshine that emerged this afternoon.
Brit rock legends Radiohead made a surprise performance on the Park Stage yesterday (Friday), and tonight's guest is rumoured to be Pulp.
Coldplay are scheduled to headline the Pyramid Stage this evening, while electronic dance pioneers Chemical Brothers headline the Other Stage.

Lung Cancer Prevention
Preventing Lung Cancer
Many preventable cases of lung cancer are related to tobacco, but others are tied to avoidable environmental exposures. Something as simple as testing homes for radon could prevent 20,000 lung cancer deaths a year in the United States alone.
Lung Cancer Prevention for Non-Smokers
When Dana Reeve, wife of "Superman," died at age 44 of lung cancer, the event raised awareness that even lifelong non-smokers can be at risk for lung cancer. In fact, between 10 and 15% of those diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked.
Radon and Lung Cancer - What Everyone Should Know
Exposure to radon in the home is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and the leading cause in non-smokers. Knowing what radon is, how to test for it, what levels are normal, and how to fix the problem, can go a long way in reducing the risk of this entirely preventable cause of lung cancer.
Diet and Lung Cancer Prevention
We are learning more about the role of diet and exercise in cancer prevention. With all of the conflicting news in the media, it is hard to know what to eat to lower our risk. General guidelines as well as specific foods that may lower lung cancer risk based on credible studies are presented.
Calculate Your Lung Cancer Risk
Do you, or did you formerly smoke? Do you have a loved one that has lung cancer and wonder about your own risk? A National Cancer Institute Cancer Center, Siteman Cancer Center, offers an online questionaire for calculating your risk.
10 Tips for Lung Cancer Prevention
Lung cancer prevention goes beyond avoiding smoking. More than half of people who develop lung cancer at this time are not current smokers. What are 10 tips for lung cancer prevention that you can begin today?

The Giver (Rated PG-13) .. Starring: Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander Skarsgård, Katie Holmes, Odeya Rush, Taylor Swift. The haunting story of "The Giver" centers on Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a young man who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Yet as he begins to spend time with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who is the sole keeper of all the community's memories, Jonas quickly begins to discover the dark and deadly truths of his community's secret past. With this newfound power of knowledge, he realizes that the stakes are higher than imagined - a matter of life and death for himself and those he loves most. At extreme odds, Jonas knows that he must escape their world to protect them all - a challenge that no one has ever succeeded at before. "The Giver" is based on Lois Lowry's beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

By washing cars and selling hot dogs, students at Warren Tech Career and
Thomas Rausch and Matt Reinert, SkillsUSA chapter presidents, organized the fund-raiser after previewing two websites. According to collision repair technology instructor Laura Angell, the students decided to support www.collisioncareers.org and www.collisionkids.org, sites the foundation created to bolster the industry's employee pool.
or 13 of the past 14 years, SkillsUSA students at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, Ill., have won the school's homecoming parade float competition.
For this year's theme, "Under the Sea," students created a rather imposing looking ship featuring a member of the opposing football team walking or shall we say, dangling from the plank above an awaiting shark's jaws.
According to advisor Steve Skorup, "the float is powered by SkillsUSA innovation and skills."
SkillsUSA youth directors from each district in Texas teamed up with Timberland PRO, Habitat for Humanity and City Year to help those in need of shelter in the greater Dallas-Ft. Worth area. Academy Sports & Outdoors, a Timberland PRO customer, paid their employees for the day while allowing them to participate. The event was covered by two local television stations.
Because they all were too large, the auto body students at Valders High School in Collins, Wis., recruited the school's 103-pound wrestler, Damian Brandes, to race a junior dragster that they built from a kit. Brandes now regularly races at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna.

Reviews for Easy Corned Beef and Cabbage
Sort By :
Could not fit everything in my 5 qt slow cooker. Next time I'll use fewer potatoes. I used small red potatoes. Served it with creole mustard and it was fantastic!
I have never made a Corned Beef Dinner using a crockpot...always on the stove, for 50 years! Always good and our family loved it! But, now I was looking for a fuss-free simple way to just basically throw all of it together at one time and just be able to forget about it, and get on with other things for the day...worry free! Sooo, I liked the sounds of this recipe , and gave it a try for the very first time...it was excellent! Simple, and lots of flavor! I am not a fan of Cabbage, but this time it was much better than usual. Not the same ole' bland taste...had a nice bite to it! I have now decided when I want to make a Corned Beef Dinner, I will use this recipe and a crock pot...no more simmering and watching on the stove!
I make this every year and it turns out great! The meat is very tender and so are the vegetables. The only thing I did different from the recipe is I used a bag of petite red potatoes instead of the four large ones. Everything had good taste!
Simple, Tender, and definately a repeat. The corned beef I picked up did not have a spice pack and so I just made it without and still great.... definately a yearly repeat if not more.
Too much food for a 5-qt slow cooker. Cabbage was washed out and it had no flavor. In fact, the whole dish had no corned beef & cabbage flavor; probably too many spices.

Firefighters, EMS crews prep pots for showdown
Date: September 2, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — East County firefighters will bring the heat at the first Manatee County Emergency Services Chili Cook Off Sept. 12 on Lakewood Ranch Main Street.
Local EMS groups will be serving up samples of their best chili in hopes of earning a trophy and a year's worth of bragging rights.
"It's a fun day and the proceeds benefit the emergency services of Manatee County," said event chairman Frank Pondillo, a retired New York City Fire Department firefighter. "There's a lot to do."
In addition to the spicy treats, the event will feature activities such as face painting, paddle cars, demonstrations by fire departments, tours of fire and EMS trucks, a smoke house, live music by the Rum Runners and other bands and more. Chili sampling will begin at 4 p.m., and the cook off winner will be announced at 7 p.m.
About eight fire districts and EMS groups will be participating in the cook off, including the Southern Manatee and East Manatee fire districts.
Proceeds benefit the Tribute to Heroes Fund Emergency Memorial Fund, a charity that provides financial assistance to firefighters, police officers and EMS workers who have been injured in the line of duty or to their families if they are killed.
The fund was created after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as a way to remember the sacrifices of firemen and emergency workers who responded to the attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and as a way to thank local first responders for their service to the community.
The event will go on rain or shine, Pondillo said.

SELIGMAN -- Authorities used night vision equipment to search late Saturday for a missing 7-year-old Phoenix boy near Seligman.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's office says Cole Evans was last seen about 10 a.m. playing outside his grandmother's home near Anvil Rock Road.
When the family couldn't find the boy, neighbors joined in searching the area before sheriff's office was notified about noon.
The office says the boy has form of autism. There's no evidence of foul play and the family is fully cooperating.
He is described as about 4 feet tall, 70 pounds with brown hair, blue eyes, and wearing a black hooded coat with a Batman emblem.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Anibal Sanchez will have a little extra time to work out the kinks before his next start with Detroit.
Sanchez's rest initially set him up to make his next start on Sunday against the Orioles. But manager Jim Leyland said the Tigers will move Doug Fister up to Sunday. Sanchez's next outing will be pushed back to next Wednesday vs. Toronto.
Fister turned in his seventh straight quality start in the Tigers' 8-4 win over the Twins on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the first four starts for Sanchez in a Detroit uniform haven't gone well. He is 1-3 with a 7.97 ERA since being acquired from the Marlins last month. Too many pitches left up in the strike zone continue to plague him.
"I try to keep the ball down," Sanchez said. "That's the key for every pitcher ... I just have to keep working on that."
Miggy's bat offers rare consistency
MINNEAPOLIS -- Miguel Cabrera not only became the first player in the Major Leagues this season to eclipse the 100-RBI mark on Tuesday, he also became the third Tiger to do so in three straight seasons.
Cabrera joins Harry Heilmann, who knocked in 100-plus from 1923-29, and Charlie Gehringer, who did it from 1932-36. The 29-year-old has driven in more than 100 runs in nine straight seasons overall, also accomplishing the feat in each of his final four seasons with the Marlins.
Manager Jim Leyland isn't jaded by what has seemingly become automatic production from Cabrera every year.
"I marvel at him all the time," Leyland said. "I probably don't brag on him as much as I should. This guy's just -- I don't really know what kind of adjectives to describe him. He's so talented, so gifted, so strong."
Leyland pointed toward mechanics as the reason for Cabrera's consistent success.
"He's not a muscle hitter," Leyland said. "He has nice elasticity in his swing, and fluid. Just a great swing. I definitely think he's the best all-around hitter in the American League, without question."
Cabrera added to his success in the first inning on Wednesday, hitting a solo homer to become the first Tigers player to hit at least 30 long balls in five straight years.
"I won't be around here to see it, but he'll have five more with 100 [RBIs], unless he gets hurt," Leyland said. "That's going to go on for a while yet. He's a terrific hitter. He can hit the ball 450-500 feet. And he can hit it over the first baseman's head or down the left-field line."
Leyland sees off-day as key for stars
MINNEAPOLIS -- Jim Leyland said off-days like Thursday's are a "godsend" for Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder. Both have played in all 118 of Detroit's games this season.
Another benefit of the brief break is a little levity for Leyland and the rest of his coaching staff. The Tigers manager said they planned a golf outing for Thursday, weather permitting.
"It's good for those guys," Leyland said. "And it's good for everybody -- the coaches, myself.
"The camaraderie -- I really enjoy stuff like that. We have a good bunch of coaches and we have a good time."
