I purchased the Ninja Kitchen System after much research into blenders. I use my Ninja mostly for fruit smoothies with frozen fruit directly out of the freezer and wanted something as nice as my previous smoothie machine. I was skeptical at first, but decided to give the Ninja a chance. I have not been disappointed at all. It makes absolutely smooth drinks even when using frozen fruits on a regular basis. I have even taken advantage of the ninja to make cakes, cookie dough, and pudding. It's essentially replaced my mixer. It's also very easy to clean. This was such a great purchase for me that I hope my review will help someone that is as tentative as I was in buying one.
I have read the reviews, watched the infomercials, and looked at the these in the stores for over 4 months before i decided to finally purchase one. I can't see why I waited so long. This machine does everything it claims. And its sleek and modern design makes it a welcome addition to my kitchen. From shakes to salsas to frozen drinks, it does all you ask of it. Doughs for cookies, breads, pizzas are no match. It assembles and disassembles with such ease. Clean-up is a breeze. I can't wait for summer to roll around so that i can impress my friends with the multitude of frozen cocktails this will make for us. PLEASE DO NOT hesitate when thinking about this system as a possible purchase. Just do it. You, too, will be impressed and wonder how you've done without it for so long.
Our old Oster and Hamilton Beach blenders would smell like they were burning and not process thick recipe mixtures well. Ninja juts chewed right through the thickest recipe and made the creamiest cheesecake yet! Great product.
It really works!! this thing made chunks of ice, the size of shot glasses, into SNOW!!! Just amazing!!
Kind of pricey. But, I put a little milk in, some frozen fruit, and it made ice cream or yogurt without adding any ice. So thick I had to spoon it out. I only used the small jar so far. Not real quiet, but does do a really good job. Just rinsed it out under the faucet when I was done. Easy clean up. The only draw back I see besides the price, are the two jars are made of some kind of plastic. Not thin plastic, but still plastic. I only mention this because some people prefer glass jars, and I do too. But, I am so far happy with it. If you don't need all the other bells and whistles, like making dough, or cookie mixes, you don't really need the extra items. Looks really nice on the counter. Not sure anyone really needs the larger jar either. You'd be making a LOT of something when you use that one. But, it is nice to have two jars instead of just the one. Seems to be really well made, nothing loose and rattling. Love the controls. It also has a pulse for short bursts. The blades are very sharp, gotta be careful handling them. They also just rinse off under the faucet. I'd recommend it for anyone who doesn't want to have to buy several different machines. I'm sure I'll never use it for all it can do, but it's nice having just one appliance that can do pretty much everything. Oh, also, no "motor burning" smells like some people have mentioned with other blenders. It just ran, no problems. Pretty nice machine!
I've only used this a couple of times, but have really enjoyed it.
It crushes ice very well and also I used it to make cake batter, which turned out very well.
I want to say that this is by far the most amazing kitchen appliance that I have ever seeing. It looks good to find space for it on the counter. It seems that it can take a beat up, looks so sturdy and of good quality. The features it has are definitively to the point. This is by far the best blender I have dealt with in my life. I used to be a believer in the original Oster blender, and was raised to call it the Osterizer. I have never tried a Pina Colada without having small pieces of ice, when making one with the Oster, now with the ninja special blade setup, it is simply amazing how it blends everything, absolutely everything, and it also makes cookie dough and all kinds of stuff, just like it is described on the info-mercial. If you want a real blender, this is it.
I got this Ninja system for Christmas. It is amazing. I made a whole vegetable juice with raw vegetalbes, peanut butter and peanut butter cookies. It made pizza dough is just a few seconds. Everything came out great. I like it's looks too. I love this machine.
Maybe I had high expections, but I am not impressed with this system. Just the basic ninja will do. Does not juice. Does not chop evenly. Does not mix dough evenly (flour left on sides, need to use spoon and mix). Somehow food and water get in the handle when washing. Even tried to take off handle to clean out...that ridiculous though. Hoping to exchange for a basic and then get another kitchen appliance for chopping. It's great for smoothies - chops ice excellent....but so does the basic.
This is definitely a step above my 20-yr-old blender, and much more reasonably priced than the cadillac blenders on the market. The blades are very sharp, which I think is a good thing, and the tall stacked configuration of the blades is effective. I like the 3 different "blend" settings (combined with a "pulse" option), and I love the two different sized pitchers. However, using the larger pitcher with frozen items often leaves unchopped chunks in my smoothies; it seems that the tall blade doesn't reach into the deep corners (a round pitcher design may have been better). I don't have this problem with the smaller pitcher. However, the smaller pitcher doesn't pour quite as well (smoothies drip down the side). It's a great-looking blender as well, and I appreciate the ability to lock it down on the countertop, and also lock down the lid. In short, I'm happy with this blender but not blown away. To any reviewers or purchasers who can't seem to get the lid off: push the "release" button and then lift the handle. It's easy.
did not chop everything very well. items were in corners and could not get them to get chopped. even if i opened up the unit and kept putting the item toward the blades. it would work itself back into the corners.
This thing is awesome. my husband got me this for christmas this yr, early, it is one great machine. does everything and meets more than my expectations. i wish it wasn't 159.00 lol but it's well worth it. ive used it a million times and only had it a few days. if you dont have one, get one!
I bought the Ninja to replace my Oster blender and had high hopes that it would make great smoothies. It makes great vegan ice cream from frozen bananas and strawberries, but unfortunately it simply will not process smoothies to an acceptable smoothness. I have let it run sometimes for 10 minutes and my smoothies still are very gritty with pulp. I think they have a good start in engineering a blender, but it needs a lot more rpms so that everything is process smoothly. We are going to return it Walmart.
The Ninja Blender/processor works great for mixing frozen drinks and smoothies. The drinks are completely blended smooth with no chunks of ice or fruit. The motor is quick and powerful but smooth (no vibrations) and not too loud. The base has suction devices that prevent the appliance from moving. The recipes seem to be tasty and I would definitely try them out. I would definitely recommend this appliance to those who are not ready to commit.
I love my new Ninja 1100. I am able to make smoothies, homemade icecream, vegetable drinks, and everything I need to with one convenient system. We were looking into those mixing bowls and they are outrageous this is nicely priced and does so much I love it!
I wish I could give it ZERO stars. Because as much as I had hoped this would be a wonderful buy, the Ninja blender is, very sadly, bad at everything it claims to do. It can not mix cookie dough, it spins too fast then shuts off from over exertion and you must unplug it and start over.
Bread dough? dream on!
The beaters and blades are set too high and the bottom layer does not mix.
The corners in the pitcher trap ingredients, be it butter, flour what-have-you,and does not mix them in. You can't whip egg whites because it does not get it all (and it spins way to darn fast).
The only thing it can do is make smoothies and even then, an ancient Oster blender does it faster and better.
The Ninja 1200 was purchased for my husband as a Christmas gift. He has used the bread making attachments and processed some fruits, nuts and vegetables for dishes he has made for the holidays. It does a wonderful job, and he was very pleased with everything.
Friends said it was great and I disagree. I haven't used most of the stuff but all I want to do is make dr oz's green shake. It's ice banana apple spinach papaya. This blender does not cut or mix it well. I still have chunks of ice and apple in it. Not to mention when it's on it sounds like a diseal truck is running in my apartment.
I have used this to grind coffee, nuts etc and it works better than anything else I've had.
I've also used it for blending batter for cookies, muffins and bars and it's worked very well.
The blades are sharp, there's all kinds of warnings and they're correct.
The parts are not interchangeable, which is fine but may be problematic for some.
It disassembles and cleans easily.
I've only had it for two weeks so I cannot comment on durability.
I have been looking for a really good blended and have finally found it.
I have had Parkinson's Disease for 14 years and sometimes have problems
with swallowing. I have been looking for a blender that will really do a
good job of pulverizing some of my foods so I will get the nutrition I need,
plus I wanted one that would make wonderful smoothies and this does the job.
It blends, purees, mixes and is a tough machine. The only negative is that
it makes a lot of noise. I guess that is to be expected with a 'heavy-duty'
blender like the Ninja Kitchen System 1200. I am very pleased with it and
I enjoy using it every day. I ordered it online and I received it exactly as promised. It was very well
packaged, padded and wrapped. I also purchased the extended warranty.
I hope I don't need to use it, but it's a comforting feeling to know that it's
there if I need it.

Respond to Review of Ed's Buffalo Wings and Pizza
by girlgonegreen
Review: Ed's pizza was awesome! One of the best vegan pizzas I have had. He welcomed us into his restaurant like family and was more than happy to talk to us about his desire to accommodate the vegan population of Philly. Great pizza, excellent owner. If I lived in Philly, his would be the only pizza that would cut it!

I am capable of performing all of the following tasks, and many others by request: sweep, mop, vacuum, laundry, change bedding, bathrooms (shower, bath, toilet, vanity), kitchens (appliances or cabinet-cleaning/organizing), baseboards, ceiling fans. If your car needs some cleaning, I'm willing to help there. Maybe you don't feel like cooking dinner every night. I can provide you with a home-cooked meal. Cooking is my passion. I am able to create a variety of meals, however my area of expertise is traditional southern cooking, often referred to as "soul food." I don't mind running errands. They may consist of dropping off dry cleaning or taking the kids to practice.
No matter what your needs, I can be of assistance. Whether you have company coming to visit soon and need some last minute help, or there's one night of the week you need someone to babysit and prepare dinner. I can also work on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to help you maintain comfortable living conditions for your family.
I'm sure you're wondering what qualifies me to do all of these things. Well, for starters I am one of 11 children. I have an abundance of lifelong experience with cleaning, cooking and children. I am also a single mother. I have been cleaning houses part-time for most of my adult life. I cater small events such as baby showers, moving parties, family gatherings, and other special occasions. I have also stayed with a number of new mothers to assist with recovery after birth and care of newborns. I understand how overwhelming this time is for many, especially new mothers. I can offer my time for all of your needs.
If you think I may have a place in your life, feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about me and may you have a blessed day.

It's happened again. Another school shooting! This time at Inskip Elementary School. Two administrators have been shot. Here's what we know so far. The school let all the students out early for snow. Police say a male walked into central office at the elementary school and fired shots hitting Principal Elisa Luna and Assistant Principal Amy Brace with shots fired from a revolver. Police received a call at 12:49 and a suspect was apprehended at 1:03 near Merchants Road in a gold Camry. Police haven't charged him as of 2:54 Wednesday, February 10th, but we are expecting a perp walk any minute. Police did say the victims are expected to live. KPD says one is in surgery.
Knoxville had another school shooting August 21, 2008. Central High School student Ryan McDonald was killed. Fellow student Jamar Siler is awaiting trial. Thankfully no students were killed in the February 10, 2010 shooting today, but 2 teachers who have dedicated their LIVES to helping, teaching, mentoring students are lying in the hospital with gunshot wounds and may lose their lives. This is unacceptable. What can we do to STOP this atrocity. What are your thoughts?

BOTF New Rivals
All of them are great games but I will always consider BOTF the greatest.
So I was thinking to myself maybe there are some more up to date space strategy games and I dicovered a game that came out last year called "Endless Space".
Was just wondering if anyone here has played it and would recommend it or does anyone have any other recommendations for BOTF style games?

URGENT UPDATE: The Indiegogo campaign is over but you can still donate to Slake! Just send a check payabale to "Owens Valley Committee" and be sure to write "Slake" on the memo line.
Owens Valley Committee
P.O. Box 77
Bishop, CA 93515
Slake (verb)
To quench thirst
To satisfy (a craving)
Support the Owens Valley Committee in the effort to protect the Eastern Sierra!
This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. In February 1913, the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) closed the "gates," which they had constructed on the Owens River, and completely diverted all of the river's flow into their newly-constructed aqueduct. Many miles of scenic river, vast meadows, and an entire inland lake were thus deprived of water. This act forever altered the socio-economic and ecological landscape of the Owens Valley. Those of us who live here, and those who visit, experience the repercussions of this important event on a daily basis.
Today, the LADWP, one of the largest utilities in the country with an annual budget of 4.8 billion dollars, continues its destructive water policies. Through excessive groundwater pumping, litigation, delay, and failure to honor its agreements, the agency continues to unleash damage to the ecosystem and residents of Inyo County, a county with 0.49% of the population of the City of Los Angeles.
A Search for Environmental Justice
Slake is a 5-part video series that will be posted to online video sites and will be freely available for local broadcast, public presentations, and local tourism websites. The series will be made available to media outlets to encourage greater coverage of the water issues in the Owens Valley. As an additional tool to communicate with a larger audience, particularly in Southern California, Slake will be presented in person to community organizations, civic groups and environmental organizations.
Using innovative cinematography and storytelling, Slake will be as visually arresting as it is informative. Each episode will be approximately 8 to 10 minutes long and will cover a specific aspect of water history, use, and conservation in the Owens Valley. It will inspire and educate audiences about the uniqueness of the Eastern Sierra, the effects of the LADWP's destructive water policies and motivate them to join the ongoing struggle for ecological health and environmental justice in the Eastern Sierra. The ultimate goal is on the ground improvement to the environmental health of the Eastern Sierra and better compliance with the existing water agreements.
We need your help!
Please help us make these films! It will make our story accessible to people outside the Owens Valley, inform the residents of Los Angeles what is happening here, and counteract the propaganda spread by the LADWP.
This campaign is to get the first two episodes off the ground. All funds raised will be used to produce the videos. If we go over our goal, the additional funds will carry over to producing the next episodes. The funding will be used to produce, film and edit the videos. PLUS, Metabolic Studio will match funds we raise before June 30, 2013.
Our goal is to release two episodes by November 5th of this year, the centennial of the opening day of the aqueduct. By doing this, we hope to capture the increased media and public attention surrounding this historic event.
Donation Incentives
We have exciting incentives donated by individuals, companies and organizations throughout the Eastern Sierra. Your donation goes go the Owens Valley Committee, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is tax-deductible to the full exent of the law:

Kaira's Burning Claw: A desheri the size of a human fingerbone and of an intense and fiery blood red, Kaira's Burning Claw is slender, curved, and tapers to a wickedly sharp point. For most of its famed existence the Burning Claw was simply wrapped within a cage of leather thongs and ivory beads, and hung from the same; but since it was claimed as spoils of war by Samithir, the Frozen King, it has been capped with gold and rubies and placed as a brow-pendant upon the "king's" diadem.
Kaira's Burning Claw radiates an intense but not painful warmth. Indeed, such is the power of the gem that it protects the one that wears it from the effects of the coldest of environments and halves all damage taken from attacks that use cold, from a white dragon's breath to a blade of eternal ice. The burning spirit of the stone ignites its owner's own spirit as well -- once a day, the individual who wears or carries Kaira's Burning Claw may choose to either gain a +4 bonus to a roll, or to take a complete reroll on one event or action.
Once and once only during ownership of the Claw, the decision may be made to channel all of one's life into an attack or other activity. This endeavour will succeed, regardless of its impossibility -- but the owner of the Claw dies in the following round. Subsequent resurrection does not permit a second such final strike.

So yesterday it was cold and windy (again) in the Twin Cities (I'm so done with winter in spring!) and we just decided to say screw it and spent most of the day at Mall of America. I'm generally not a fan of crowds and never go there to shop (just far too big) bit it's a fun place to walk around and get out of the house...and eat fun food you don't find other places in the Twin Cities. Speaking of, came across a new popcorn place called Doc Popcorn. They'll mix a variety of different popcorn into a single bag for you (yes I know lots of places do this- i.e. Chicago's Garrett's and similar) but here we don't have many...unless you're in MOA I got Kettle Corn and Cheddar Cheese. I wouldn't say it was fantastic but because I don't get to eat both Kettle Corn and Cheese popcorn especially at the same time, it hit the spot!!
Also found some amazing sun glasses (planning for our upcoming residence in Florida and we're both looking for some really good sunglasses as a moving gift to ourselves). And as we were looping to the exit we walked past the Nike Store. After I started running I stopped spending anytime in "recreational" sports stores. And after a few minutes I realized why- nothing to do about quality or anything but the customers and salesmen care more about colors and styles than fit and usability for the activity I'm buying shoes for. Case in point, I asked to try on a pair of Nike Free 4s. I pointed to a pair signaling my interest in trying them on (they have 3 different colors) and the guy came back from the back room saying they didn't have that color in my size. I assumed that when I asked to try on the Nike Free 4s in a 10 they would just bring up a pair of Nike Free 4s in a 10. I didn't know I had asked to try on that specific color in a 10 thereby expressing no interest in any other color. Boy have times changed. I no longer care about shoe colors. Granted if given a choice, yeah, I'll grab a flashy pair that I enjoy or opt for a second pair in a different color just to keep my mileage on track when rotating, but generally, the color of a shoe doesn't impact my opinion of it.
So once he realized that I just wanted to try on the shoe and didn't care about the color he brought out a size 10 in grey. Holy cow, where have these shoes been?!?! Like clouds. Fit like a sock, an extension of my foot. Amazing. I didn't want to take them off. I mean, wow. Haven't had this kind of experience in a shoe in like ever. Felt like a game changer. I didn't do much running (wish I had the treadmill from my LRS) but hopped around and walked a bit. Love them. But I didn't buy them. Primarily because I hadn't really run in them. And second because my LRS and RW offer me the opportunity to try them out and bring them back if they don't work. And, maybe the biggest reason- there are sooo many versions of Nike Frees (Free Run, Free+, 3, 4, 5). I had some research to do before I landed on a pair. And I knew I wanted to check in with the Loop.
So, my question to folks here- anyone have the Frees? Anyone love them? If so what model did you settle on? I've been spending my time in Saucony Kinvaras and Saucony A5s. Seems like the Nike Free 3v5 is the closest match. I didn't know this going in so didn't know to try this one on. Nike's have been off my radar for 4 years since I started running- Asics appeared as my shoe of choice so I ditched Nike. I would love to get a previous model to get something on sale before jumping in. But I also can do the 90 return at Road Runner Sports or RW. I feel like I want a pair like yesterday. Appreciate any thoughts folks have.
Alright, off to some coffee, a little morning news and waiting for temps to hit the 50s late this morning and hit the road for hopefully 5 miles today with the hubby. Then pizza for dinner. That's what I call a rocking Sunday!!
I have 2 pair of Nike Frees in my shoe rotation. (a couple of years now) I have worn each pair in a 1/2 marathon, and currently wear the one pair just for walking around. I am very happy with them and recommend them wholeheartedly.
I'm with you on the fact winter keeps appearing in spring - over it!!!
My best friend wears Frees.... loves them and swears by them. They don't fit my feet well, too narrow but she raves about their long term comfort and fit. Enjoy your Sunday!
Can I ask which model you wear?
Mmmmmm Doc Popcorn sounds gooooood.
No idea about the Nike Frees - came to comment about how I totally agree with Rec Sports stores! I never shop at Sport Chek anymore unless I need to replace my swimming goggles in a pinch - no one ever seems to care about fit and comfort, just like you said.
Hi FF, I have free run2s, now a generation old, and only wear thom on the track/grass/casually. I much, much prefer the kinvara's cushioning on the road, and I think that's why I keep going back, and K3s are cheap right now, no matter which color
OTOH, DD loves all frees, she's tried... didn't like even the new virrata((??)) , still trying to grt the stink out of her first ones, the tread lasts forever!!!
The first pair were Free Runs, and the second are Free Run2
I've been tempted to try the Nike Frees, but Nikes never hit my arch in the right place. Still, it has been several years since I gave them a try. Must visit the Nike outlet next time I am in Williamsburg.
- Emma (formerly MJ --- it's a long story)
I just got a pair of the Free 4's and have done a few runs in them. They seem to feel very good so far; not too far from the Kinvara's but not exactly the same either.

Applied Physics
Face Masks as Life-Savers
Some 130,000 service members in Iraq and Afghanistan have suffered traumatic brain injuries, but little is known about how best to prevent these wounds, beyond defusing improvised explosive devices before they detonate. A new study suggests that the addition of a face shield to troops' helmets could save many lives and minds.
Using computer simulations, the researchers determined that the current U.S. combat helmet only slightly delays and diminishes the effects of a frontal blast—not enough to prevent grave harm. The simulations showed that a polycarbonate face mask, affixed firmly to the helmet, reduced the pressure of the blast on a selected point in the cerebrum by 90%.
The authors said that it might be helpful to extend the masks around the back of the helmets, shielding necks, too.
"In Silico Investigation of Intracranial Blast Mitigation with Relevance to Military Traumatic Brain Injury," Michelle K. Nyein, Amanda M. Jason, Li Yu, Claudio M. Pita, John D. Joannopoulos, David F. Moore, and Raul A. Radovitzky, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Nov. 22)
Public Policy
Sharing the (Natural) Wealth
An economist has offered a plan to cut world-wide levels of extreme poverty in half. Following a path blazed by Alaska, he argues, developing nations should distribute the revenue generated by natural resources to every citizen, regardless of income.
Such policies have recently been debated in Iran, Iraq and Libya. But the scheme's closest analogue is Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend, which annually disperses $600 to $1,500 to every resident of the state.
Economists typically argue that the only way out of poverty is economic growth. But redistributing oil, mineral and forestry money can have a major impact, the study suggests. India's resource revenue, for instance, amounts to only about 5% of its gross domestic product, a typical figure. If that money went directly to citizens, with no means-testing, the proportion of people in dire, dollar-a-day poverty would (under one set of assumptions) drop to 18.2% from 41.6%, the study found.
Such revenue typically gets steered into national budgets, so governments might be reluctant to act. But the study claims that the shift in some countries would cause very little disruption—Iran, for example, uses oil revenue to subsidize gas prices. Companies that extracted oil or invested in exploration would still be paid appropriately.
"Resource Rents, Redistribution, and Halving Global Poverty: The Resource Dividend," Paul Segal, World Development (forthcoming)
Economic Smarts
Economists are more likely than average citizens to view trading with other nations as a win-win scenario, to prize the efficiency of markets and to see recessions as cyclical downturns rather than systemic collapses. Some research has found that the more education people have, the closer they move to this economist's-eye view of the world. A new study suggests that, even more than education, intelligence itself leads citizens to "think like economists."
The researchers wanted to tease out the independent effects of intelligence and education. They made use of the National Opinion Research Center's massive General Social Survey, which includes demographic data, queries about economic attitudes and (for half the respondents) a short vocabulary quiz, which the authors treat as a workable (if not ideal) test of intelligence.
The authors found that intelligence supplanted education as the primary predictor of whether one took an economist's typical point of view. Education moved into second place, followed by party identification (Republican) and recent growth in income. The correlation between the views of intelligent people and professional economists offers "another reason to accept the 'economists are right, the public is wrong' interpretation" of differences in opinion, these economists argue.
"Intelligence Makes People Think like Economists: Evidence from the General Social Survey," Bryan Caplan and Stephen C. Miller, Intelligence (November-December)
Jet Lag vs. Hamsters
Don't listen to that executive hamster—he just arrived from overseas. Hamsters subjected to simulated jet lag showed diminished neuron production compared with healthy specimens, according to a new study. They also failed a simple learning test. For nearly a month after their schedules stabilized, the hamsters were unable to learn and recall which of two spaces contained a running wheel (a test that healthy animals ace).
The paper suggests that humans who work rotating shifts or fly frequently may be even more detrimentally affected than previously thought.
Psychologists moved the hamsters' day-night schedules ahead by six hours, the equivalent of a flight from New York to Paris, eight times in 25 days. Total hours slept didn't change. During the simulated jet lag, neuron production in the hippocampus region of the brain was about half that of healthy hamsters, and remained low for weeks afterward.

You will pay a premium to see top games
Steve Megargee
Rivals.com College Football Staff Writer
Want to go to the Notre Dame-Penn State game? You'd better start saving your money.
That Sept. 8 game at Beaver Stadium is currently the hottest ticket of the 2007 college football season, according to ticket broker agency TicketCity.com - which unveiled a list this week of the 50 college football games drawing the most interest.
As of Monday, the release issued by TicketCity.com indicated that the average Notre Dame-Penn State ticket price at brokerage sites across the country was $1,100. A fan could get into the stadium for as "little as" $550.
USA Today poll - Notre Dame isn't even in the Top 25 - the interest in the Notre Dame-Penn State game doesn't surprise TicketCity.com vice president of marketing Zach Anderson.
Anderson points out that the ticket prices for annual rivalries such as Florida-Florida State can rise or fall depending on how each team is faring that particular season. That's not necessarily true of non-traditional matchups between high-profile teams.
"If you look at our top 10, it's a Who's Who of big rivalry games," Anderson said. "But it's always the games where certain teams are playing that haven't played in a while that generate the most interest."
Notre Dame defeated Penn State 41-17 last year, but that marked the first time these two traditional powers had faced each other since 1992. The Irish haven't faced the Nittany Lions at Penn State since 1991.
Notre Dame's absence from preseason polls hasn't affected the Irish's standing as one of college football's top draws. Four of the five toughest tickets on this list involve Notre Dame.
The Ohio State-Michigan game ranks second with an average price of $1,000. That's followed by the Oct. 20 Southern California-Notre Dame showdown ($950 average), the Sept. 15 Notre Dame-Michigan game ($696) and the Oct. 13 Boston College-Notre Dame matchup ($661).
"Every year we see that with Notre Dame," Anderson said. "Notre Dame's a huge draw wherever they go. For home games, the prices are higher because it's extremely difficult to get season tickets at South Bend."
Anderson pointed out that the ticket prices for each of these games still could rise or fall over the course of the season.
For example, the ticket prices for last year's Ohio State-Michigan game rose significantly when it started becoming apparent both teams would head into their regular-season finale with perfect records. Even the least expensive tickets to that game had reached $1,100 in the week leading up to Ohio State's 42-39 victory.
"Other than bowl games, that's one of the hottest games we've seen in years," Anderson said.

After a long haul up the M6, straight through the night on Sunday, Steve met up with the guys from MtbCut.tv, to shoot the first in the new series of 'Mojo Trail Diaries'
This wasn't your ordinary shoot, because the legend himself, Guy Martin was in tow, along with Joe Barnes and Andy Mckenna. Every season managed to hit them in 2 days... but it all made for good tv as you'll see.
It felt like Round 1 all over again at Val Di Sole. With such a long break, every rider came out swinging on a loose,loamy and rough track. Tonnes of causalities all week, made it feel like more of a battle for survival, than going for the win.
A solid run left Steve in 15th come finals, placing him 10th overall heading into Round 3 at Fort William...

Batman's Rogues gallery in the Nolan-Verse

Re: Batman's Rogues gallery in the Nolan-Verse
I'd like to see Harley Quinn played by Gigi Edgely (Chiana from Farscape) as maybe a Joker stand in basically. They could keep her origin nearly intact from Mad Love - although I do think that she and Poison Ivy could be an interesting duo. With Ivy being an environmentalist/Al Gore worshipping/hybrid pushing hippie chick who sees all the crime, corruption and violence in Gotham as hurting the environment. Teaming up with Harley partially because she's studied Joker extensively in prison and basically sees her methods of violence a means to an end.
Penquin is an almost must have - I like the above idea of keeping a sort of Burton-esque Penquin - but keeping the more B:TAS form of him, as basically an eccentric bird lover, who happens to have a taste for wearing tuxedos and shaped like a penquin. But I'd keep him a tad more unhinged in private - not quite as OTT as DeVito's but twisted. Maybe instead of being hideously deformed - he's just a rather short man with a rather long beaklike nose and webbed fingers that resemble flippers when he wears gloves. Information broker, Casablanca type does fit the character.
Killer Croc - he'd be interesting, Batman hasn't really gone up against a really TOUGH character in the Nolan-verse yet. Someone that towers over him and can basically kick his ass from here to Metropolis.
Catwoman - I think she works best as a sort of anti-hero/Robin Hood type character than an out and out villaness. I'd ditch the prostitute angle though. Although, I think I could see her as being a sort of well heeled girl from a good family, who's family was killed during earlier mob wars and basically took everything they had, from businesses to property to baubles. Possibly even went away to underake a career as an Olympic gymnast - which could help explain how she can move the way she does. Works as a cat burgler stealing from the mob bosses and criminals that stole from her family and giving part of her 'take' to charities. Sets herself up as a 'do gooder' as Selina Kyle, attracts the attention of Bruce Wayne, but only because she's going to rob Wayne Industries because they bought up one of her family's companies. Bruce and Selina meet up in their alter egos and fight briefly, the masks come off and basically she becomes Catwoman as more of a persona than just a nickname.
Plus it lets someone else fight Harley Quinn or Poison Ivy without having Batman hit girls LOL

This is my first post, and i cant seem to find any info on this specific question, albeit i have found 'similar projects' with different applications.
What i've done is prepped cabling and connectors to use a 3.5 inch Western digital caviar blue with my 360 slim. I'm in the process now, of fashioning an enclosure that matches the system, but so far, I've already made a connector cable and used the board from an old IDE enclosure to draw the needed 12 volts from a separate power source. Im trying to do this using materials i already have on hand, to avoid spending my family's cash, and i have a surplus of 320gb western digital desktop drives and old enclosures Atm.
I know im already halfway finished, but i figured i could try and receive some input, on wether this could work, if anyone else has already done this (and why it's so hard to find)' or if i should just hit it with a hammer
Shouldn't the logic boards from a particular manufacturer use similar chipsets anyway, making the bin files possibly compatible?

you need to get the drive into vendor mode to modify the firmware on the drive (Just like with DVD flashing) if the same commands are used to put the caviar into vendor mode as the scorpio then it should work.I
since it is an extra drive I say why not try worst case you kill your drive, best case it works, or the drive just fails to enter vendor mode.
