Vitamix vs Ninja
Vitamix vs Ninja Review – how do these two popular blenders TRULY compare? You have seen the info-mercials and they appear too good to be true. We have been asked many times how Ninja compares to Vitamix so we put the Ninja Mega Kitchen System side by side with the Vitamix 5200 to find out the truth. The result is the following comparison review.
Performance | Warranty | Best-Buys | Containers | Controls | Nutrition | Chart
Generally speaking, most every fair review that compares the Ninja with Vitamix reveals that TV commercials don't tell the truth and these blenders are not in the same class. Below you will find DETAILED reasons why. This is not to say that the Ninja is a poor product; not everyone wants or needs to take advantage of all that a Vitamix has to offer. It's about choosing the right blender for YOU and your needs the first time.
Vitamix vs Ninja Blender – Blending Performance.
There is no doubt that the Vitamix and Ninja Blender can crush ice, blend fruits, blend vegetables, and make blended drinks BUT the results will differ. If you spend the extra for the Ninja Mega Kitchen System then you are able to mix and knead dough similar to how you can in the Vitamix without additional attachments. If you want to make hot soup, or grind grains you will need a Vitamix as the Ninja can not accomplish these tasks.
Power: Both machines have great power, the Vitamix 1380 watts vs Ninja's 1000-1500 watts. Ninja power / watts vary depending upon specific model – pay close attention to the model you are considering. We tested the Ninja Professional NJ600 1000 watts (the best seller) and the Ninja Ultima 1500 watts. Keep in mind that power is only one factor that affects true performance, other factors such as blade speed, torque and design play a larger part in how well a blender performs.
The Vitamix quite literally is able to handle anything we put in it. The result is always a smooth and consistent texture. The Ninja blender handles fruit smoothies easily but obviously struggles with some of the more demanding tasks such as blending whole frozen fruit and nut butters.
Speed: Vitamix is unique in the home blender world in that it has true variable speed control with an amazing range of 500 to 37,000 RPM. This allows you to efficiently accomplish a wide range of tasks that most blenders can not. When you have the Vitamix running at maximum speed it is loud and you know it's doing some serious work.
Most Ninja models have 3 set speeds (and a pulse), speed 1 for dough making, speed 2 for blending and speed 3 for ice-crushing (frozen-drinks). We were unable to acquire information on the actual speed of the settings. The best we were able to get was a report that on speed setting 3, the highest speed, the Ninja blender can run up to 24,000 RPMs. (NOTE: The Ninja Ultima has a dial to change speeds. We find the dial to be "clunky" and the speed inconsistently jumps as it is dialed and therefore believe it offers no improvement over the 3-speed versions.)
Blades and Design: Every Vitamix comes with a strong laser-cut four prong stainless steel blade. Two are blunt hammermill blades and two are cutting blades. The entire blade and housing is metal. These blades are made to last and will not lose their edge after 1000s of blends.
The Ninja comes with a vertical 6 blade tower attachment. Six thin sharpened metal blades alternate up a center post. A big benefit of the blade attachment is that it is easily removed for cleaning. A negative is that the blades are sharp and can easily cut your hands. The Ninja depends on this sharpness to blend – they do dull over time.
We oftentimes found the need to stop the Ninja blender, remove the lid, scrape the inside of the container, replace the lid and continue blending. The Vitamix on the other hand practically never requires such additional effort.
The Ninja blade post does NOT allow the blender to create a Vortex, which is the main design factor that allows blenders to blend efficiently. We found that if you blend with the Ninja at full volume, the ingredients near the top do not get pulled down into the blades leaving you with larger chunks in the top of the blend. Also, areas between the blades and the bottom do not get completely blended. The center post, or "tower" is made of plastic, and some consumer complaints mention that this part breaks under heavy use.
Warranty and Durability.
A big factor in the Vitamix vs Ninja consideration is – how long will it last? The Vitamix is made in the USA. It is larger in size with a more industrial feel. Vita-mix blenders have the industry's best warranty – 7-Years Full Use that covers everything. Recognized as a world leader in performance blenders, Vita-mix has proven themselves as an industry leader and have been making blenders since 1937.
The Ninja is made in China and comes with a 1-Year limited warranty. (We have found on occasion that a 2 or 5-Year limited warranty can be obtained.) The blender itself is lighter in weight with more plastic components. The Ninja blender entered the US market in 2009 from the Euro-Pro Operating LLC, a company founded in 2003 originally to make vacuums.
While there are plenty of well used Vitamix blenders still working in home kitchens after 20+ years of use, Ninja blenders are still too young to know how long they will last since they've only been in existence for a short time.
Warranty Service: In the off-chance you do have an issue with your blender, Vitamix will cover shipping cost both ways – no cost to the purchaser; warranty service for the Ninja requires that you pay shipping both directions.
Vitamix Containers vs Ninja Pitchers.
All current Ninja and Vitamix containers are made from BPA-Free plastic. When purchasing a Vitamix you have several container options to choose from in 3 sizes. The Ninja comes with the standard 72 oz. pitcher and the Ninja Mega Kitchen System comes with an additional 40 oz. Bowl and 2 single serving cups.
Even though the standard Vitamix container is rated to do an adequate job of grinding grains, they do offer a separate specialty dry grains container designed just for making your own flour. While the Ninja can grind seeds and nuts to make nut butter it makes no claim to be able to grind grains to make your own flours.
You can make dough in either the Ninja or the Vitamix. The Ninja requires the Dough Blade and Dough Paddle attachments with the 40 oz. bowl to do so, which are available separately or with the Ninja Mega Kitchen System. The Vitamix requires no additional accessories.
Both Vitamix and Ninja state that you can fill their containers to their full capacity and safely blend.
Controls and Ease of Use.
With its unique true variable speed dial, the Vitamix allows for complete control of your blending tasks. There is also a Hi/Lo switch to change from manual variable speed (Lo) to Maximum speed (Hi). Every Vitamix blender comes with a tamper for those occasions when you need help to blend solid foods without stopping the blender. The tamper can be very helpful in when making thick frozen entrees, nut butters, and puddings with no to little liquid.
The Ninja provides a more limiting control with 3 set speeds and a pulse button (some models have an aditional single serve speed button). We have found that the speed dial on the Ninja Ultimate to be harder to use since it did not offer consistent speed control when tuning it (it simply has a dial and a pulse/power switch); we actually preferred the 3 set speeds found on their popular models since they were consistent. Accessing contents in the container with the blade tower present, for tasting or testing is difficult. Also, if you wish to add ingredients while blending, it is much more difficult to do so with the Ninja.
Preparing the Vitamix for use is simple. Place the container on the base, push the soft rubber lid on top and you are ready. The Ninja has a few more details/steps to prepare for use.
The Ninja container is aligned on the base and rotated left so that the safety tabs are pushed down and secure. The lid has a locking handle which must remain in an upright position until the lid is correctly aligned according to the printed arrows. Once correctly positioned and sealed, the locking handle is pushed down onto the container so that the lid latches fit snug under the container tabs.
One feature of the Ninja that easily goes unnoticed when shopping is the Lock-in lever. Positioned on the left side of the blender base, it is almost always hidden in all Ninja marketing images. This lever activates the suction feet for added stability which is required when making dough as the blender can easily roll around if there is not sufficient suction created to hold the blender in place.
Both the Vitamix vs Ninja will continue to run until manually shut off or until a thermal switch is activated to prevent overheating and damage. If this protection measure is activated you will need to wait about 15 minutes before the blender can be used again.
Nutrition and Taste.
Both blenders do a good job at turning out tasty fruit smoothies, protein shakes, dressings and sauces. But if you are looking to invest in a blender to get the best taste and most nutrition possible there is a difference.
Independent research has demonstrated that the Vitamix 5200 is capable of sufficiently breaking down plant cell wall structure to increase the nutrition available for use in your body. This increases the availability of phytonutrients (aka phytochemicals). While the benefits of these plant-based nutrients is an ongoing area of research, studies have shown that they effectively act as antibacterial/antiviral agents, stimulate detoxifying enzymes, balance hormones and boost the immune system.
With an increased focus on health and nutrition, green smoothies have become very popular among those looking to boost their immune system and improve their well-being. Other Ninja reviews concur with our findings that the Ninja fails to make a smooth green smoothie. On the other hand, the Vitamix is known for making creamy, super smooth green smoothies no matter how much greens are added.
But that difference is not only seen with green smoothies, the Ninja simply can't blend as smooth as the Vitamix. Why is this important? Texture is everything. In addition to more nutrition, smoother, smaller particles creates a more homogenized result which in turn bring about more flavor as well as a more pleasing texture.
Research has demonstrated that the Vitamix 5200 processes food sufficiently
to break down plant cell walls resulting in better nutrition
Clean Up.
Clean up is easy with both the Ninja and Vitamix. Unlike most kitchen blenders, the bottom blade housing of the Vitamix is not easily removed to access the blades for cleaning. To clean the Vitamix, after an initial rinse, add warm water and detergent to the container and place on the blender base. Blend on high for 5-10 seconds and finish cleaning with a quick rinse and hand wash as necessary.
You may clean your Ninja in the same manner as the Vitamix above using the pulse button. All blades and attachments on the Ninja can also be removed for washing, but be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp blades.
Regardless of which blender you own, the most important factor for easy clean up is to rinse and wash your container immediately after use.

Vitamix vs Ninja Blender Bottom Line:
The Ninja Professional/Ninja Mega Kitchen System is a decent versatile blender for light to medium use. For the $190 or so price tag you are getting a good blender that can accomplish most tasks required of most regular blenders.
Ninja may serve you better if:
- you are limited by budget
- you will mostly be making only fruit smoothies and drinks
- you do not plan on grinding grains
- you do not plan on heavy use on a regular basis
The Vitamix is considered by many as the king of blenders. It is one of the most powerful and versatile blenders for the home market and is backed by the industry's best warranty. This blender is a workhorse that can do most every kitchen task and take a beating doing them.
Vitamix may serve you better if:
- you like total control over the speed
- you value getting a Full Use 7-year warranty on everything
- you like a more solid, industrial blender
- you plan on grinding grains and making hot soup
- you plan on using your blender a lot on a regular basis
- your smoothies and blends must be very smooth

Straight from the horses mouth – the one that lives in Japan and isn't exactly officially connected with Apple in any way, thusly a whole different breed, as it were, comes word that Apple will be releasing a Mac that's "absolutely different from current products." The source for this information is a group that also successfully predicted the March release of the iPad 2. What we're expecting is that IF a whole new product is released, it could be a touch-central desktop computer to make use of the newest Mac OS Lion's ability to push and pull in all directions for gesture-based action all day long.
The report here suggests that this new product to be released before the end of 2011 will be so very different from products of the past that it'll be given a whole new name. Will there be an "i" in it? Will it be a Mac? Perhaps it'll be an inductive charging tower better than any we've seen in the past, ready and willing to work with the iPhone 5! Maybe it's something that'll allow all future products to have integrated projectors for off-the-wall images galore.
Here's another possibility that's a little bit less likely: hover sensing for all products. Perhaps they'll be changing the name of the mouse to allow multitouch gestures and etcetera on a miniature display. Strange! How about the 3D future of things in Apple products – a possibility? What I'd put my cash on is something to do with touches and gestures up the wazoo, whatever it is.

Tricia, this is a wall hanger if I ever did see one! The light is perfect! Those shadows add dimension. And the colors are gorgeous... the red flowers and blue shutters really "shine" without conflict against the earth-toned buildings. Interesting details everywhere-- round windows [top left], a wrought iron balcony [right of center], an arched door [lower center], etc. Lots of texture, too. And it's interesting that some shutters are fully opened, others only partially so... we get the full view. Print it!! Hang it!!

Lovely pastels. Nice atmosphere. Dreamy world.

Wednesday Festival: We're Waiting!
In this Advent season we find ourselves waiting...for many different things. A Savior. A change of weather. A change of heart.
Lorna has finally found her camera! She shares some snowy pictures of Cliff College, Derbyshire, England. She also tells us about the most useful machine ever invented, and her adventures with same.
Quotidian Grace is inviting everyone to come join in her Third Annual Sappy Christmas Song contest! You can check out the merriment here. The theme this year is Santa's Bailout.
Sally shares reflections on self-doubt and God's place in it. She also gives us a narrative reflection on Mary's story.
One of my favorite posts from the past week is this one from Shawna about routine, ritual, and depression. It helped me, and I keep coming back to it.
I am thinking about change and not liking it much. Maybe there's an Advent/Mary tie-in? :)
Songbird reflects on those Things That Are Good For Us, whether we want them or not.

If you spend a lot of time on social media sites, you're probably aware that a lot of people dedicate a great amount of time and money to beautifying their personal items using stationery. Among these trailblazing stationery items are labels; they're a big hit among crafts-loving folks around the world. The really cool thing about labels is that they're not just functional — they're decorative as well.
Personalised name labels, in particular, are very popular because they are made according to the aesthetic and functional requirements of the user. If you're thinking of having personalised name labels made to use on your belongings or for your kids', here are some important things to consider to ensure that they properly indicate ownership at all times.
- Font – If you're having the name labels made for your children, big typefaces and bold fonts are recommended, especially if they're still young and cannot quite read yet. Also, a unique font will set the name label apart or make it more recognisable.
- Colour – This is a vital consideration if you want the name label to stand out; you want to make sure that the label is easily visible because it doesn't blend into the design of the items they're adhered to.
- Stickiness – This a must in ensuring that sticker labels stay in place. Otherwise, those labels won't be able to do their job of continuously providing personal belongings with "identity of ownership." There are labels with adhesives that are water-resistant and can stick to any kind of surface — these are the best to use if the items are washed regularly, are often exposed to water, or if the owner has the tendency to peel labels off most surfaces.
- Design – This is another vital consideration because of its aesthetic value. If you want the labels to enhance the look of your personal belongings, you should definitely give the design a lot of thought. Think of the shape of the label, the pattern, and the other visual components so it can look uniquely your own.
- Durability – Go for sticker vinyl that is water- and stain-resistant. On top of that, this kind of sticker vinyl is thick and difficult to peel off, and it retains colour well. If you want long-lasting personalised name labels, you should certainly enquire about the quality of the vinyl.
With this guide, you can be sure that the labels you order will enhance the appearance of your belongings and can be used for a long time.

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 7
Rated 5 out of 5Â by dsmith Wonderful product!
Cuts easily. Stays in place in the drawer or on the shelf. Not thin and not too thick. I have used both sizes and love the product. Just remodeled my kitchen and I am using the product in all my new cabinets.
March 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CoCosMum EXCELLENT PRODUCT
I've used this liner throughout my home & garage. By far the best liner product out there. A little cushion so glasses don't tip over or move around, same with drawer contents. But the best way to install is measure everything, make a list of sizes you need, get out your cutting mat & rotary cutter & bam! Bob's your uncle. Don't overthink this project, if the liner doesn't reach to the back of the cabinet, so what? Moving again this year & will use this liner again for sure.
May 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by WishIwasMoreOrganized Liner is A Little Thicker Than Expected
I knew that this liner was thicker than most others because I bought it in the store. I lies very flat and is easy to cut to size. I wish there were grid lines on the back to facilitate sizing, many shelf liners have that feature. But, this is easy to clean up and looks nice in place.
June 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MoonOverChi Great liner for bath drawers
I used this as a liner in a new bathroom vanity to protect it from all the haircare and makeup products that get tossed around and spilled in bathroom drawers. It's easy to wipe off and protects from scratches from hairbrushes.
I like that it's not permananty sticky. Only wish is that they had the gridlines on the back so it was easier to cut squarely and measure without using a square.
February 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LCFGal Solid Liner
Good size and good quality. Easy to work with. It clings well to drawers and give good cushioning to delicate items.
August 18, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Liat Yes to Easy Liner
I agree with the previous reviewer. Although the liner itself is quite good, I'd like more variety of sizes so that there is less waste when you cut the liner to fit your shelves and drawers.
February 14, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by coolgal nice!
Cuts easily, slip-resistant, description is accurate. Looks great in my cabinets! A couple of my drawers are a little old and warped (not enough $ to replace them at the moment) and the liners still fit perfectly, compared to these other plastic liners I purchased and returned. I wish they were available with more length than these two options so I wouldn't need to use more than one row in my linen closets.

Okay, I have a question that I'd love to hear your response to...what are the must-buy RBL polishes? (Include Scrangie if you want to, of course.) If someone has limited funds, what are the top five or so shades to consider? Or if someone likes a specific color range (reds, nudes, etc), are there specific polishes that blow you away?
Any thoughts would help...like many others, I am paralyzed with indecision!

This is another talk from the Center Stage @ MakerFaire New York 2010. I loved this presentation because it was clear that the guys are really passionate about their project, and because I think it's great when technology can help improve someone's quality of life. From the project page:
Steven lives in NYC and has duchenne muscular dystrophy. I met him through a friend and colleague in New York. Steven can move his index finger to trigger a switch that controls driving his wheelchair and other assistive technology devices. For computer access he has a reflective sticker on his baseball cap that is tracked by a infrared capturing webcam and moves the mouse cursor around the screen, his index finger 'clicks' the cursor. He asked Holly if there were any options for him to play the PS3 again, unfortunately at the time there were hacks but nothing for a single switch access.
In the Designing for One class Steven participated as a client, his project extended over the semester and was finished late in Spring 2009.

The original voice of Smurfette, Lucille Bliss, has died at the age of 96. Animator Dave Nimitz said she had died on Thursday night and had been living at the Mesa Verde Residential Care Center in Costa Mesa, California.
The voice actor was said to have died from natural causes.
Bliss voiced Smurfette for Hanna-Barbera on the 80's Saturday morning cartoon, "The Smurfs" between 1981 and 1989, the series ended in 1990. She also voiced Smurfette for some TV specials and movies during the 80's run of the cartoon.
Bliss also portrayed the title character of the first made-for-TV cartoon series, Crusader Rabbit between 1949 and 1951.
She also did a lot of work for Disney, she portrayed stepsister Anastasia in Cinderella in 1950 which was her first voice acting job. She also voiced Sunflower and Turnip in Alice in Wonderland (1951), and the Kanine Krunchie Commercial Singer in 101 Dalmatians (1961). Other roles in cartoon films were Mrs. Fitzgibbons in Don Bluth Productions' The Secret of NIMH (1982) and the Pigeon Lady in Blue Sky's Robots (2005). She also narrated several other Disney movies.
Bliss was honored 50 years later by the Young Artist Foundation with its Former Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award in March 2000 for her performance of Anastasia in Cinderella.
Other actors that have voiced Smurfette include, Céline Monsarrat, Melissa Sturm, and singer Katy Perry.
Smurfette was created by Gargamel, the Smurfs' enemy, in order to distract and trap them; however, later she was rescued by Papa Smurf and turned into a real Smurf. She was the only female Smurf until the creation of Sassette.

If you are shy or have a difficult time speaking your mind, start off small. You don't need to blurt out your concerns at a staff meeting or explode at your partner about something that has been bothering you for year. Instead, practice speaking your mind to your friends about small things. Even if it's something simple -- like deciding what movie to see or where to go for dinner -- speak up about what you really want. Participating in even small decisions will help you learn to speak your mind in more critical situations.
Get what you want in the bedroom >>
Though some people don't speak their minds at all, others speak without being considerate. Before you speak, think and choose your words carefully. You don't need to be hurtful, rude or aggressive when speaking your mind. Insults and foul language aren't necessary and will not help you get your way. By thinking about your words before you say them, you'll be able to maintain respect and relationships. You want to be assertive without turning people off.
No matter how passionate you are about something, don't scream or yell when speaking about it. Raising your voice tends to make people tune out. Whether you are speaking your mind to your kid's teacher or to your own husband, getting loud won't benefit you. Speak succinctly and clearly with a calm yet determined tone. You'll find that remaining calm is easier if you speak your mind at the time something bothers you, rather than letting your feelings brew and intensify.
If you feel strongly about a particular cause or your political stance but have never spoken your mind about it before, join a group or organization for like-minded people. At meetings and events, force yourself to participate until speaking your mind becomes easier.
If you aren't comfortable with your verbal skills, speak your mind in writing. Write an email or letter to your child's principal, your congressman, a store manager or to whomever you want to express your feelings. The written word can be very powerful.
Make the most of conference time >>
Some people avoid speaking their minds because they don't want to offend anyone or get into a conflict. Accept the fact that everyone will not always agree with you -- and don't be afraid of ruffling some feathers.

text: St. Vincent Healthcare Billings Campus With a legacy spanning generations combined with the latest and best treatments and technologies, the cancer treatment options located on the main St. Vincent Healthcare campus meet the needs of patients of all ages. Because we know the needs of cancer patients are often unique, you will work not only with physicians who specialize in oncology, but also nurses, therapists and others with advanced understanding of the disease. Inpatient Cancer Care For some cancer patients, inpatient care is necessary for some or all of their cancer treatments. If inpatient treatment is right for you, our specially trained team is focused on keeping you comfortable throughout your stay with us as well as meeting both your physical and emotional needs. Medical oncology treatments, including chemotherapy, are available on an inpatient basis. Patients requiring inpatient care who are undergoing radiation treatments are transported to St. Vincent Healthcare Frontier Cancer Center as needed. Genetic counseling, naturopathic counseling, preventative care, and management of pain and other symptoms are additional services offered to our patients. A patient navigator is available to help patients navigate the journey ahead. The navigator will assist in answering questions, coordinating appointments between health care providers, or connecting you with financial counselors, social workers, or chaplains. Yellowstone Breast Center 2900 12th Ave. N., Suite 276W Billings, MT 59101 (406) 237-4373 The Yellowstone Breast Center at St. Vincent Healthcare focuses on a single purpose: to save lives through early cancer detection. Thanks to advances in digital mammography, today's high-resolution images provide radiologists significantly clearer images, improving the likelihood that even the smallest tumors will be detected. In addition, mammograms can be transmitted electronically via our secure system—eliminating potential delays. As always, your comfort remains a top priority while you are in our care. Your screening will be completed by a female mammography technician who ensures your privacy and modesty are maintained throughout the procedure. If you are uninsured or underinsured and concerned about the cost of a mammogram, funding may be available through St. Vincent Healthcare Foundation and the EVA Project. When should you have your baseline mammogram? Take our mammogram quiz to test your knowledge. Mobile Mammography Coach (406) 237-4373 Recognizing that many women may have difficulty traveling to Billings for their annual screening, St. Vincent Healthcare offers the convenience of our Mobile Mammography Coach. This specially outfitted vehicle uses the same high-quality digital imaging equipment in use at the Yellowstone Breast Center and brings it directly to health clinics and businesses in Billings and surrounding communities. Take our Breast Cancer Risk Assessment to learn if you're at risk for cancer and to learn more about the disease. Montana Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center 2900 12th Ave. N., Suite 265W Billings, MT 59101 (406) 237-7999 While skin cancer is the most common form of the disease in the U.S., it is also highly treatable when caught early. The dermatology experts at the Montana Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center will work with you to conduct detailed skin screenings designed to identify potential concerns, complete biopsies, and create a treatment plan designed to deliver the best possible outcome. If you are concerned about your risk of skin cancer, our dermatology team can also provide information about how you can prevent it and what symptoms to look for during self-examinations.

2013 Ford Focus ST priced at $24,495, build site launched
The 2013 Ford Focus ST technically carries a starting price of $23,700 and that includes the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, churning out 252 horsepower and 270lb-ft of torque from the first high performance application of Ford's EcoBoost technology in the US. This power is channeled to the front wheels exclusively via a 6-speed manual transmission and a sport tuned electric power assist steering (EPAS) system has been designed to cut down on the amount of torque steer under hard acceleration - allowing the driver to make the most of their high performance Ford 5-door Focus ST. The Focus ST also sports unique race ready suspension and performance braking system to make sure that the hot hatch handles and stops every bit as well as it accelerates.
Those who want a little more out of their 2013 Ford Focus ST can opt for equipment group ST2, which adds a Sony audio system controlled by an 8" touch screen and featuring both satellite and HD radio, dual zone climate control and a set of sporty Recaro race seats trimmed partially in leather. This package will add $2,385 to the final price of the Focus ST; although Ford states that this package offers the buyer savings of $120 over ordering those features individually. I actually prefer the two-tone partial leather Recaro seats - as they offer a sportier look than the all black seats…in my opinion.
If you want even more amenities from the 2013 Focus ST, equipment group ST3 starts with the goodies from group ST2 but the partial leather Recaro seats are replaced by full leather seats with heating elements, HID headlights, cornering lamps, LED signature lighting and ambient lighting, heated exterior mirrors, navigation, and an overhead storage console. This package adds $4,435 to the total price but in ordering this package - buyers reportedly save $405 from ordering the items on their own. However, very few of these items add any go-fast qualities so those who are looking to go fast and do it cheap - the base Focus ST might just be ideal.
The 2013 Ford Focus ST is available in six different colors (Tuxedo Black, Performance Blue, Race Red, Oxford White, Tangerine Scream, Ingot Silver) with all but the Tangerine Scream coming as part of the standard package. Tangerine Scream will cost buyers an extra $495 but we think that it is well worth the price - as this unique metallic orange is a great looking color in the bright sunlight. Once you have equipped the Focus ST with the ST3 equipment group, the only exterior option is the $895 power moon roof. Inside, if the ST3 package is picked there are really no options to select and if you are going for the base Focus ST, there are no options that you can pick online (right now) that can be added without adding an equipment group. In short, if you want any goodies, it is best to go with the ST2 or ST3 equipment group packages. There is, of course, the $35 engine heater available for all 2013 Focus ST models.

It is recommended to use power=substation instead. Do not, however, attempt to automatically change occurrences of power=sub_station. |
power = sub_station |
Description |
Deprecated tag for substation |
Used on these elements |
Status: Unspecified |
Tools for this tag |
A substation is a used to step-up or step-down the voltage=* within an electrical power grid. It is generally linked to the rest of the network by one of more sets of power=lines which may contain one or more power=transformers.
The power=station is now deprecated for those facilities.
How to Map
Nodes can be used for small substations. Areas are better for larger ones using aerial photography to identify their extent. Substations can vary in size from small little buildings the size of a garden shed to much larger installations to size of many football fields.
Associated tags:
- name=* The name of the facility
- operator=* The name of the company operating the substation.
- voltage=* The highest voltage of operation within the facility
New substation tagging scheme
A new tagging scheme for substations has been introduced to replace this tag, see power=substation. It is strongly recommended to use power=substation instead of power=sub_station when mapping substations.
A note about retagging
The currently approved tag for substations is now power=substation. However, please take note of the following.
First of all: Do not perform mass retagging of power=sub_station objects (this would be considered a mechanical edit). Secondly, don't retag substations just for the purpose of 'correcting' the tag but take the opportunity to review the object and add useful information. In particular it is very desirable to add the voltage=* and/or the substation=* type if those tags are missing. When known also add the substation name and/or operator. For larger substations covered by good quality aerial imagery you may also consider mapping internal components such as busbars, bays and transformers.

The Ghost of a Hand by Sheridan Le Fanu
A classic ghost story from one of the 19th century's most popular writers in the horror and mystery genres.
The Ghost of a Hand was first published in 1863 as a self-contained chapter in the novel The House by the Churchyard. It purports to relate the true story of an apparition that took place the previous century in a haunted house on the outskirts of Dublin.
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was pioneering author of ghost stories in the 19th century. His father was a clergyman, and his great-uncle was the famous playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. He was born in Dublin in 1814, and many of his stories were set in the outlying village of Chapelizod, where he lived as a boy.

Happy first blogiversary to me!
Some thanks are in order:
To Kevin Heller who nudged (er, shoved) me in the direction of blogging and Rebecca Blood for both her book and her encouraging emails -- Fairy Blogparents extraordinaire.
To Kevin Barkes, the best Blogdaddy a girl could ever ask for.
To Blonde Justice, my Blogmama, even if she doesn't acknowledge me. If it weren't for her, I'd still be sending out a daily email instead of blogging. (Will somebody please convince her I'm a blog kid worth claiming?)
To some terrific women who inspired, amazed and offered the hand of friendship: Dana, Kelley, Key, Christina, Lila, Michele and Moogie.
Some charming gentlemen who did the same: Jeff, the Manolo, Acidman, Pejman, Patterico, Spoons, Straight White Guy, Velociman, Zonker, Dax, Kevin and Denny.
One of these days one of these good folks is really going to take pity on me and teach me how to put up a site meter. And a blogroll. A whole year later, and I'm still one of the biggest techno-tards on the planet. (And as soon as I figure out how to put up a blogroll, all of the above-mentioned folks will be on it.)
A lot has happened in a year:
Some dear friends got hitched. They share an anniversary with this blog.
I lost my mom.
I found my mom.
I changed my mind about hating dating.
I danced with a famous guy.
I read a bunch of books. (Too many posts to link!)
I rode to the rescue.
I went on the cruise of a lifetime:
An awful lot of my rowdy friends sent me an awful lot of jokes. (Way too many to link.)
I got some really lousy news about my mom.
I became a superhero. (Scroll down.)
I was the Ringmaster for a Carnival.
I squirrel-blogged.
The news got better.
My little traveling companion met Buckaroo Bonsai's four-footed buddy.
My neighborhood went to hell in a handbasket.
I had the best Valentine's Day ever.
Mom took us on another roller coaster ride.
My plans went awry.
Zonker administered a written exam.
I embarked on a really cool project.
I took a trip to Florida.
I went back to Florida.
I got to relate the best news of all.
I got totally surprised. (And honored.)
I took a trip down Memory Lane.
My project finally came together.
I fumed (too many times to link). I laughed. Occasionally I cried.
Oh, yeah. And somewhere in there, not only did I stop hating dating, I actually fell in love.
Not a bad year, huh?
P.S. -- The new year isn't starting off too badly, either. Next week, I get to spin a yarn.

plans for the pell
Hi all, I only taking a shinkendo class at the local community college, but I wanted to make one of these pells. I didn't see any instructions. Granted, I would need to adjust for the size of the tire, but what size arethe boards used and did you use carriage bolts or is it large screws. May I have more detail on its construction?.
Re: plans for the pell
Not sure what a pell is.
But since you're starting Shinkendo, there's a Shinkendo messege board where alot of Shinkendo practitioners post at. http://www.shinkendo.com/bbs/index.php?s= |
Re: plans for the pell
Do you mean THIS.
I believe Jun built it so perhaps he'll elaborate. Quote:
Bronson |
Re: plans for the pell
yes, that the one. A pell is a target usable for practicing strikes that roughly simulates a human target.
Re: plans for the pell
Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification guys. :)

At the right dose, vitamin D is important for bone development and may help protect against the development of several cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. However, large quantities designed to exploit the vitamin's anticancer properties can lead to a toxic overdose of calcium in the blood. Now, research done at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center indicates that it may be possible to separate the anticancer properties of vitamin D from its other functions.
Their study, reported in the journal Molecular Cell, found that mutant forms of the protein that binds to vitamin D in the cell do not allow vitamin D to promote bone development and calcium transport but do permit it to regulate an oncogenic protein known as beta catenin. Some modified forms of vitamin D itself, which do not alter bone and calcium, were also found to regulate beta-catenin.
"We found that we might be able to separate the two functions at the molecular level, and this raises the possibility that vitamin D can be chemically modified into a drug that will only have anticancer effects," said Professor Stephen Byers, Ph.D. He and Salimuddin Shah, Ph.D., led an international group of investigators in this study.
The human body produces a lot of vitamin D from a brief exposure of the sun. The vitamin is made in the skin when a cholesterol-like molecule interacts with ultraviolet light. It has long been known that a lack of vitamin D can lead to the bone deformities associated with rickets, and the vitamin helps maintain calcium and phosphorus levels in bone and blood. Too much vitamin D, however, can spill calcium into the blood and lead to heart disease and death.
Population studies have also uncovered an interesting fact — that the risk of developing colon cancer is lower in people who live in sunny climates. Epidemiology studies have indicated that vitamin D is responsible for the protective effect of sunlight exposure on the incidence of several other cancers besides colon, including breast and prostate.
Byers and the research team suspected that beta catenin may interact with vitamin D in some fashion because of another known fact — activation of beta catenin causes most colon cancers.
To help them understand what vitamin D is doing in the cell, the researchers studied findings by other scientists who had looked at families who develop rickets due to an inherited mutation in their vitamin D receptor. Most of these patients had both rickets and alopecia (baldness). However a small number of families had mutations in the receptor which only led to rickets. "We know beta catenin is also involved in regulation of hair growth and we wondered if these particular mutations might also allow the receptor to regulate beta catenin," Byers said.
"We found a mutation which caused rickets but not alopecia but which still allowed beta catenin to bind to the vitamin D receptor," he said. This suggested to the researchers that it may be possible to separate the anti-cancer role of vitamin D from its effects on bone and calcium.
If a drug mimic of vitamin D can be developed, it could prove useful in preventing some cancers at their earliest stages, but would probably not offer any therapeutic benefit for later stage cancers, Byers said. "That's because we know that by the time colon cancer is well advanced it fails to respond to vitamin D."

Langhe is in Piedmont a region of Italy. It is home to a number of world famous wine producing regions, including Barolo and Barbaresco. ContentsCitiesOther destinationsUnderstandTalkGet inGet aroundSeeDoSee also: Wine tourism#Italy The region is particularly interesting from the perspective of wine tourism because they make wine like this nowhere else in the world. The difficult but noble nebbiolo grape is used in Langhe to make two of the best wines in the world, Barbaresco and the "king of wine" and the "wine of kings" Barolo. There have been attempts to export the grape, but so far the resulting wine has failed to reach the quality of the wines of Langhe. Visiting wineries in the Langhe is like visiting a working farm. It is a good idea to call ahead before you show up, but it may be possible to taste wine without an appointment at some wineries. There are many wine producers in the Langhe. A few are listed below.

Lumley ST70 Output impedance change and other questions
I am just about to pick up a Lumley Reference ST70 power amp to use wth my Magnepan speakers. It was made in the 1990s. It has switchable Triode/Ultralinear mode. I am not sure of the bias method, - manual or auto. It's supposed to deliver around 70 WPC in UL mode with 6550 valves.
Apparently it comes with only the 8 ohms transformer taps hooked up to the speaker terminals. There are also 4 ohms taps on the transformers but they are not hooked up to the speaker terminals as standard. To run my Magnepans optimally I ideally need that setting to be on 4 ohms. Its a long shot but was wondering if anyone might have any info on how to make the change from 8 ohms to 4 ohms internally? Any schematics of this amp, instruction manual, or any other info at all would also be really welcome if anyone has anything. Cheers, Colin |

I just got inside my Lumley ST70 and am looking at the output transformers. I want to change the output impedance setting to 4 ohms (its now set on 8 ohms).
There are four connections coming off each output transformer. One is labelled "8", one "4", another "4" and another "C". The two labelled "4" have a jumper connecting them . Currently the one labelled "8" is connected to the speaker +ve terminal, and the one labelled "C" is connected to the speaker -ve terminal. I am not sure what to do, - obviously I need to disconnect the 8 and likely put that on the tap labelled "4" next to it, but do I leave the other connect labelled "C" as it is? And what do I do with the jumper - connect it between the other 4 and the 8? Perhaps I don't need the jumper I'm not sure. If anyone had any ideas it would be much appreciated. Attached is a pic of one of the output transformers. |

From first sight, you should simply reconnect speaker terminal to transformer tap labeled "4", the one closer to tap "C" (Common), jumper between "4" and "4" can be removed, but if you keep it, it should be fine.
Looks like secondary made with 4 windings connected in parallel. |

Day-1 Dubrovnik
It is located in Southern Croatia and it is popular for its idiosyncratic Old Town. We have visited the History museum and it has plenty of Churches.
Day-2 Trogir
It is a historic town and has a very big harbor on Adriatic Coast. It has very less population and its weather was too good while we visiting there. The restaurants in this city was look so traditional but serving the most delicious foods in the world.
Day-3 Kornati Islands
This city is well known as Archipelago of the Croatia and Stomorski islands. We took a catamaran trip there and that was too awesome. We never had such wonderful experience anywhere before. We hired the boat from a leading boat rental company and the charges were affordable.
Day-4 Pula
Our fourth day of tour was at Paula, which has various places to see. So, we have decided to see the best among them and first visited to the Temple of Augustus, which is a traditional roman temple. Then we moved to the Pula Arena, which is an underground museum.
Day-5 Hvar
It is small city and the part of Spilt-Dalmatia country. The Paklinski Islands are the best tourist spot of this region and we played in the beach for a while. Then we moved to the Sveti Klement using the yacht boat.
We enjoyed this trip very much and it lets us to make some unforgettable moments. The friendly crew and their support made our trip as the best one.

Wow to be so close to the volcanic eruptions! Amazing!
20 kms Away From An Active Volcano
Trip Start
Mar 27, 2010
Trip End
Jul 04, 2010
Where I stayed
It was there that they decided the country would be Christian about 1000AD, and erected the first church. A church is still operating there, but its certainly not the original. It's said that the chieftains refused to be baptised in the cold stream, and so they all trooped off to the nearby hot springs.
We moved on to Geysir, and saw Stokkur do its stuff every 10 minutes. Trivia fact #2 - 'geyser' is the only Icelandic word in the English language. The big one called Geysir now only erupts after earthquakes. Then on to the large waterfall at Gullfoss, which was one of the better ones I've seen, before having some lunch. Trivia fact #3 - the canyon that the waterfall empties into is the junction between the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates, so you can actually stand with one foot in Europe and one foot in America.
Drove south and joined the main highway #1 which circles the island, and on to Hvolsv�llur where our hostel is. The Eyjafjallaj�kull volcano is only 20km away, and is quite active today. We can watch it erupt from our window. For the last 10km or so there was ash all over the road, and every car going past threw up a cloud, just like cars do in the rain. Arrived to find an over exuberant dog, and a confused reception. They actually have us booked into the hotel section, and we're certainly not complaining about the suite we've been given. Not quite the usual hostel standard.

PPE 2013: Hands-on with Panasonic's newest cameras
We're at Photo Plus Expo in New York, having meetings and learning about all the new products that have recently been announced (and some which are still under wraps). Panasonic's new GM1 is one of the hottest new cameras at this year's show, inheriting a lot of technology from the GX7, and yesterday afternoon we stopped by the stand to get our hands on the gear.
The 16MP GM1 is a truly tiny camera, barely taller than its Micro Four Thirds lens-mount. Our eyes were caught by this attractive orange leather version on Panasonic's stand.

The Excise Department..
Mohd. Javed Khan,IAS
From : 01-03-2017
Click here for list
Lakhanpur is the major entry point to the State of Jammu & Kashmir. As per law of the land, every vehicle entering or going out of the State has to pay toll tax. Hence Lakhanpur being major entry point to the J&K State every vehicle whether light or heavy, loaded or empty has to pay toll at this point barring few exceptions where the toll is exempted under different SROs. In this connection the Government of Jammu & Kashmir has set up the Toll Post under the administrative control of Dy. Excise Commissioner, Toll Post Lakhanpur for the collection of toll tax under different heads i.e. Additional toll ,Advelorum Tax and Basic Toll. Additional toll is levied on weight and Advelorum Tax is charged on value of goods and the basic toll is charged on vehicles whether heavy or light in nature.
A Brief History Computerized weighing system at Toll Post- Lakhanpur was inaugurated by Hon'ble Finance Minister, J& K State, Janab A.R. Rather on 6th January'1990. Initially only 2 weigh bridges were installed one for Import and another for Export Section. To coup up the increasing rush of vehicles both at import and export and especially to facilitate the smooth running of the incoming and out going traffic, the toll plaza was constructed, foundation stone of Toll Plaza was laid by Janab Mohd.Shafi, Hon'ble Finance Minister of J&K state on 5th Feb'1997. With the coming up of toll plaza separate lanes were made for vehicle coming inside the state and vehicles going outside the state. These lanes are further divided according to the class of vehicles i.e for light vehicle like Car/Jeep/Sumo there is a separate lane for Buses there is a separate lane and for trucks there are separate lanes. There are 5 lanes for trucks coming inside the state and 4 lanes for trucks going outside the state. Loaded vehicle coming or going outside the state have to go through the weigh bridges This is the single point where all the information regarding nature of the vehicle and the goods loaded in the vehicle is recorded through computers and accordingly different type of toll is charged on the vehicles and goods loaded on that vehicle REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE LAST FEW YEARS
EXEMPTION Exemption is granted to certain types of goods meant for export of import as per the specific instructions from the government in the shape of SROs especially under the clear cut policy to promote the Industrial activities encouraging the manufacture of goods in the J & K State. On completion of certain formalities the exemption can be granted. When these formalities are completed in all aspects then the firm can avail exemption. In case of light motor vehicles the exemption is only given if the owner of the vehicle is residing within the fifteen Kilometers (15KMS) from the Toll Post Lakhanpur.

Compañía: Lenfilm
Nota del repertorio
Score for the cartoon-film by Mikhail Tsekhanovsky.
Shostakovich wrote much music for children, but nothing more delightful than this miniature cartoon-opera, intended for very young children, between the ages of 4 and 10.
It is based on a well-known story by Samuil Marshak, one of the most popular of Russian children's writers:
The silly little mouse won't go to sleep, so his mother seeks help from her neighbours, the duck, the pig, the toad, the horse and the pike. No-one can help. Eventually the cat succeeds in singing the silly little mouse to sleep. The next morning however the cat is discovered to have run away with the little mouse. Led by the dog, the other characters manage to rescue the little mouse from the cat, just as she is about to eat it.
Shostakovich originally wrote this charming through-composed opera, filled with cod folk-tunes and nursery rhymes, for a film. But it equally well makes a fine and easily performable children's opera.in the theatre or on the concert stage, an ideal companion to Prokofiev's evergreen 'Peter and the Wolf'.

Overview (1)
Date of Birth | 1980, Gent |
Mini Bio (1)
Sven Faulconer, born and raised in Belgium, is a Los Angeles-based composer for film and television. He employs a wide and unique range of musical styles, as reflected in the remarkable list of credits acquired by him over the years.
In particular, a keen sense for collaboration and strong story-telling skills have earned him music credits on such blockbuster movies as The Hunger Games series, Nightcrawler, The Bourne Legacy, The Green Hornet and Parkland. His original approach in independent productions has resulted in numerous scores with a very distinctive character.
Beginning formal music training at age 8, Sven showed an early knack for improvisation and was soon writing his own pieces. Over the years he has also become a passionate clarinet player and performed a number of solo concertos with symphonic orchestra. His studies took him on an exciting journey starting in Ghent, later moving to Rome to conclude his academic career in Los Angeles at the renowned UCLA Film Scoring Program. As always, he was driven by the powerful synergy of music and film, paired with the fulfillment that the film scoring process brought to him.
Since his move to Los Angeles, Sven has had the pleasure of learning from several A-list composers - more specifically his experience at Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions and his ongoing collaboration with James Newton Howard, composer of films such as The Hunger Games series, Maleficent, The Sixth Sense, The Dark Knight and I Am Legend.

Tonight's Dinner
I picked a huge pile of greens from the garden and decided to do a simple sautee with shallots and mushrooms for tonight's dinner. That's kale, collard, Swiss chard, mustard greens, arugula and even a few pea shoots all wilty and nice in there. I baked some tofu with a Dijon mustard marinade and accompanied everything with a big heaping pile of mashed potatoes. Simple, yet delicious.
1 comment:
What a fine selection of greens. I crave all those goodies from the garden periodically and they are so refreshing too.

It is one of the mad ironies of rugby that a Lions Test of ebb and flow, bash and sashay, and 43 players whose every aching moment is dedicated to standing up for their mates should come down to one kick by one man. Kurtley Beale's final-minute penalty attempt to win the match for Australia transported him out of the ultimate team game into the loneliness of the long-distance goal-kicker. His miss and the manner of it, as his standing left leg slipped from under him and he fell flat on his back on the spiteful Suncorp Stadium turf, joined the horrible history of defeats settled in a single act.
Fire in the heart, ice in the veins… egg on the face. Beale had begun the day on the bench, as Australia's third-choice kicker at best. His entire participation in the series had been in doubt due to his off-field issues with brawling and booze. On the flipside, he was not a complete novice thrust into an unfamiliar milieu. In 2010 Beale converted a long-range kick to win an amazing Test in South Africa, 41-39. And in this, his 37th Test, he had already banged over a monster penalty on 62 minutes, and another from shorter range seven minutes later, to keep his injury-ravaged team within two points.
But Beale missed in the 76th and then – after a scrum went calamitously wrong for the Lions four metres inside their half – came the big one. The kick was bound to need a degree of oomph. The referee, Chris Pollock, studiously stymied Beale's subtle attempt to nudge the tee forwards. The pitch was, in racing terminology, much closer to soft than good. As Beale swung his right boot so his left skidded and shot away. With direction and momentum lost, the ball traced a miserable trajectory hopelessly short and wide of the posts.
As Beale hauled himself up, to be quickly enveloped in the consoling arms of team-mates, the mind's eye flickered to images of John Terry, the Chelsea captain confounded by a similar slip when he had a penalty to win the Champions' League in 2008; to David Beckham, glaring at an offending divot in Euro 2004 in one of England's many shoot-out failures; and all the way back to Don Fox and the nonpareil of missed kicks, a conversion for Wakefield that would have won the 1968 rugby league Challenge Cup final at rain-sodden Wembley.
"He's a poor lad," Eddie Waring said in the immortal TV commentary. "The poor lad…what a moment to live with." So it will be for Beale. But Australia will know the Lions – who were beaten by Morne Steyn's penalty at the end of the crucial Second Test in 2009 – were much better.
Leigh Halfpenny came in with 23 kicks out of 24 on this tour, and though the Cardiff Blue missed once with an overdone whack, it merely emphasised his booming confidence. By contrast the Wallabies were in hit-and-hope territory, from losing their first-choice marksman, Christian Leali'ifano, to injury, then James O'Connor's woeful efforts and another possible kicker, Berrick Barnes, going off. Halfpenny's five from six versus Australia's four from nine told the tale, even if poor Beale was lumbered with the most memorable footnote.

$16 to the top via the Red Lady lift. The newly added short course is a great warm-up before you tackle the amazing mountain course. Play with a spotter is recommended, due to lots of tall, thick vegetation and long holes.
Pros: awesome long holes, outstanding mountain views.
Cons: some tee boxes are really crap, and the lift ticket can add up if you play this course regularly. Lack of uniform tee boxes is what keeps this from being a 5-star course to me.
An awesome mountain course. Lots of length. But your discs go forever-as it mostly down hill. Does not favor right or left handed throwers. Can be scary throws if its windy. Beautiful views.
Never played anything like it! Long Long hike or $ for the lift.Good signs. You had better be very good or play conservative because finding the discs is hard. If there is any wind it can give you trouble. 100 yards between 16 pin and 17 tee. Lost my favorite disc on #18. Glad I played it once. Would play it again with DX discs. Nice views!

Post-world War Ii American and Japanese Society
The United States entered World War II after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1941. In 1942, the U.S. government decreed that all Japanese people residing in the United States, including second- and third-generation American citizens, should be placed in internment camps, because it was thought that they might engage in treasonous activities against the United States. Japanese Americans were held prisoner, forced to leave their jobs, property, and possessions until the end of the war in 1945. Millions of dollars in property were lost. Some years later, the Japanese who were interned were compensated at ten cents for every dollar lost. The Civil Liberties Act of 1988, signed into law by President George H. Bush, apologized for the internment and offered reparations to thousands of Japanese Americans who were denied their civil and constitutional rights by the U.S. government during World...
