Finding Happiness In The Modern Age Of Poetry
In today's world, we use electronics to send and receive information. We depend on it so that writing on a piece of paper may become obsolete, but not so fast. Sometimes it's just good to get a piece of paper and use a pen or pencil and write. Granted it takes longer to write down your thoughts and your handwriting might not be the best, but when it's read at by someone else, it gives off a personal touch. It can't be explained in words, but somehow your personality shines Read the rest of this entry »
Up And Coming Poets And Poetry
Often when we think of poetry, we think of verses written by people long ago. However, poetry is alive and well in our world today and as proof, here are the five most popular contemporary poets.
Elizabeth Alexander
A scholar of African-American literature, Alexander is most well known for her book of poems entitled "American Sublime" that was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2005.

Finding The Hidden Gems Of The Poetry World
Finding the hidden gems of the poetry world is easy if you simply know how and where to look. Writer like Sylvia Plath and Robert Browning have been writing beautiful works for many years, though not many know about any of their poems aside from the famous texts. These writers have a lot more under their belts than meets the eye, which is why it is important to educate readers on exactly what these talented folks have written in their careers.

How do i tell someone to back off a little at my livery yard?
please read.
my mum's best friend has a daughter who's 12, and she comes down to our livery yard pretty much every day (she lives next door). she was fine helping out to begin with but she is very eager to own her own horse, and recently she has started being very bossy and wanting to do every chore around the yard (i presume to prove to her mum that she can care for her own horse) i thought this wouldnt last for very long but now its getting to the point where i can't even spend some quality time with my own horse, without her coming in to do the girth, adjusting the stirrups or joining in grooming him. and its beginning to get me down. how can i ask her to back-off a bit without being giving the impression that im being horrible or unresionanable. (sorry for the paragraph:P)

Kim Weller - Art Show Exhibition
Return to Kim Weller's Bio
Friendly Fire, a site-specific installation by Kim Weller, was inspired by an image on the cover of an Archie comic book showing Archie, Veronica, and the gang roasting hotdogs around a campfire. This project was made from recycled thin plywood salvaged from the Public Disposal & Recycling Area ('The Dump'). Almost all of the paint was recycled from the San Francisco Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Going along with the theme, we had a hotdog roast (tofu dogs too) instead of the usual cheese and crackers.

Burnley is East Lancashire's top car crime hotspot (From Blackburn Citizen)

Burnley is East Lancashire's top car crime hotspot
11:00am Tuesday 20th August 2013 in News By Jessica Cree, Crime reporter
BURNLEY has the worst car crime rate in Lancashire, new figures reveal.
And the town reported more offences than big cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool and Cardiff.
Figures showed there were 317 incidents of vehicle theft, criminal damage and break-ins out of every 10,000 cars registered over a 12-month period.
Citroen was the most targeted make of car followed by Mercedes-Benz and Mitsubishi.
It is believed car criminals targeted older commercial vehicles and vans as they did not have modern security features.
Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle said vehicle crime was out of hand.
He said: "I thought the police had got on top of it, but it seems not.
"Police do not think of such incidents as a major crime, which is disappointing.
"I get a lot of people complaining and we have got to sort it out. It has just got out of hand."
Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson, a victim of car crime three times in the past three years, has had two tyres slashed at his Colne home, his car keys stolen in Barnoldswick and a satnav stolen from the glove compartment of his car.
He said: "This type of crime is hugely inconvenient, but also distressing.
"It is very costly because when many people have items stolen from their car it is not enough to claim on their insurance.
"Quite often these crimes go unreported and people have to pay for them out of their own pockets."
And Burnley Council leader Julie Cooper said police cuts were having an effect.
She said: "It is shocking. There are £73.5million in savings required by Lancashire Constabulary and that is going to have an impact.
"If the message gets out that there are fewer police officers on the streets, it leads to people thinking they can get away with it.
"It also has a negative impact on insurance costs. Car crime is very distressing.
"I have had elderly car owners who struggle to keep a car on the road financially come to me when they have things like wing mirrors broken and cars scratched."
The findings come from Freedom of Information figures obtained by consumer website HonestJohn.co.uk They showed the highest level of vehicle crime in Lancashire was in the BB11 postcode between October 2011 and September 2012.
The BB2 postcode for Blackburn was third in the region with 217 out of every 10,000 and in Darwen the figure was 185.
The safest areas were BB18 for Kelbrook and BB7 in the Ribble Valley.
They had 49 car-related crimes each during the 12 months.
Vehicles least likely to be targeted include the Lexus, Jaguar and Chevrolet.
Lancashire Police said car crime was falling, with 10 people receiving prison sentences for these such crimes in the past few weeks.
Daniel Harrison, Editor of HonestJohn.co.uk, said: "What we find with Burnley and parts of East Lancashire is that they are very close to Manchester and Bradford, which are the two worst areas in the UK for car crime.
"It is possible offenders are coming from those places to commit crime.
"We also know that there is a high proportion of older cars and commercial vehicles like vans and pick-ups than elsewhere in the country.
"About 80 to 85 per cent of all the crimes committed are criminal damage and leaving valuables on show gives thieves a golden opportunity."
Insp Viki Crorken of Burnley Police said: "There continues to be a reduction in the amount of vehicle crime in the Burnley and Padiham areas, with over 100 fewer victims since 2010 and with over half of all vehicle crime being detected in 2012.
"We remain dedicated to preventing and detecting these crimes."

Come on Mr Birtwistle what are you going to do?
Seems like all the police want to do these days is play at being Capt Kirk with their lazers set to catch speeders. get some real police work done and stop relying on ANPR cams and the LT 20 20.
No doubt because of this story my premium will almost double

Physicist Creates Most Magnetic Material on Earth, Might Overturn Laws of Physics
The new compound is about 18 percent more magnetic than former magnet king iron cobalt
A more powerful magnetic material may have emerged to topple previous record-holder iron cobalt, until now the most magnetic material on Earth. The new iron and nitrogen compound might also force physicists to revise their understanding of magnetism, according to the Minnesota Daily.
The iron and nitrogen compound proved 18 percent more magnetic than iron cobalt in tests done by Jianping Wang, a physicist at the University of Minnesota. There also appears to be a "new physics" at work in the substance, but physicists at other labs must replicate the experiment and verify the work.
Wang reportedly found localized electrons in his iron and nitrogen compound, which have never shown up before in magnetic materials. Localized electrons are electron-pair bonds shared by nonmetals, as opposed to the free-flowing electrons typically related to magnetism and electric current.
Some physicists suspect that localized electrons, rather than free-flowing electrons, are more responsible for magnetism in materials. The discovery also appears to overturn traditional theories that set limits on the strength of magnetism in substances.
Japanese researchers at the Central Research Laboratory of Hitachi also created a magnetic iron and nitrogen compound in 1996, but no other scientists were able to get the same results. Wang has taken special care to allow other scientists to duplicate his experimental setup.
If the findings hold up, they could lead to a significant boost in magnetic materials that allow for more efficient power generation and transmission.

Finally, a new material that will make an electric personal aviation system possible!!! Yeah yeah, once the manufacturing of a material like this is able to replace the mags we currently use it could even open up the realm of the pure electric drive(ala Tesla), not to mention cleaner power, uber efficient electric vehicles of common use... but what get's my blood running is this...
We've got the Martin JetPack, big loud motor/fans, 30 min of flight per tank which is awesome!!!! Beats the SkyTrek hands down... But personally, take a propane fuel cell to provide the power, pump it to 4 mini-electric turbines built with this crazy new battery material, and a carbon-fiber wing like the guy that flew across the English Channel...
Think along the lines of Moller SkyCar that you strap into, built for one and that's the idea...
Who needs a reservation when you have 150mph for 2 hours a fill, and all you need is a gas station with a big white tank out front to refill....
*** and before anyone get's all high and mighty about infrastructure, actual poundage of propane(or butane) needed for 2 hours of flight based on current fuel-cell technologies, or anyone else getting tied up in nitty-picky specifics, POUND SAND!!! By the time this material could even be produced at a volume commercially viable we'll have either hit the Greenhouse cliff and cycled into cataclysmic climate change, or, something easier to create and far more powerful will have come along(thank you nanomaterials supergeeks)... For the rest of you, happy day-dreaming!
This material could completely eliminate the rare-earth element shortages (e.g. neodynium) that plague the electric motor industry. Iron and nitrogen are both abundant and cheap! Hopefully manufacturing this stuff will not be too expensive.
You know, sometimes I think that if Apple made a jet pack, it would be adopted widely enough for other companies to want to duplicate and in turn, make the products more cheaper as they figure out ways to churn them out at a cheaper and more efficient rate. Of course, Apple's jet pack would surely still cost 30% more than the next guy, but they would probably idiot-proof it enough to where its relatively safe.
A lot of things that people envisioned being standard in the future, like flying cars and jet packs, aren't available now because of pricing, safety, ease of use, etc.
The technology to build it is there...it just takes someone with a bit of innovation to make it available to the masses.
Trireme, you took the words right out of my browser!
So much of what we do now would be sufficient technologically to solve major problems *if* 2 problems were solved:
1) the source was sufficiently abundant and/or sustainable such that we can use it cheaply in all instances of the tech intended.
Fuel cells, for instance. They are more than capable of powering cars with current tech...if we had as much platinum as we do iron. The fact that the best fuel cells that reach the levels of performance needed to power a car and the lifetime to match the body all require platinum is bad enough...at current prices. If we actually tried to make a fuel cell for every new car, the price of platinum might be multiplied by a factor of 10.
2) the processing was sufficiently energy efficient/easy/cheap. (These 3 are massively interrelated.)
We could save a lot of fuel by building cars out of titanium, aluminum, & carbon fiber. All three elements (no, carbon fiber is not an element, but carbon is you wise guy) have weight, strength, toughness and other characteristics that make them perfect for certain car parts. (Carbon fiber, for instance, can be built into strong framing parts, but cannot serve as the engine block because of heat stress, for instance.) If we could do a better job of harvesting cheap heat and recycling/reusing waste heat then we could slash the price of aluminum. Hand-set processes makes it uneconomical to build carbon-fiber in complicated shapes which might otherwise be self-reinforcing and thus super-strong in an accident.
The idea that we need breakthroughs in *materials* ignores the amazing materials we have. We really need any wonder-material to not only have the relevant super-strength, super-magnetism, whatever. We also need to have
1) enough of the raw material
In this case, we're golden
and 2) a manufacturing process that can be scaled up, can fabricate the shapes needed, and is cheap enough that if we used it in all the applications we can imagine, it wouldn't cause any of those products to be too expensive to compete.
This material has a super-property (magnetism), ridiculously common raw materials (iron and nitrogen)...if it can only be manufactured in the final forms required at a price that is not much more than current plain-iron magnets, this will revolutionize a lot of things.
The problem is a lot of materials have super-properties and even a few have common raw materials. We have to have *process* breakthroughs before the world is going to change.
Magnets 'GONE WILD'!!
If you like magnets; this should tweak your interest:
"Weinstein's magnets are about the size of a stack of five dimes, weigh an ounce, and cost $300. Commercially available electromagnets that can produce a comparable magnetic field weigh two tons and cost $60,000 to $100,000"

Has any one heard of Heim Theory? It seems to me that this discovery is very much in agreement with this theory of physics; it's been a little while since I last read about it, but the talk of localized electrons reminds me of the theory. I my be entirely wrong, so please correct me if I am.
Why is it that two magnets whose similar poles when clamped together fall faster than a non-magnetic material? When opposite poles are joined, then the magnets fall slower. Could this be the basis for magnet motors?
Also, why does light produce a 90 degree phase shift in a circular gravitational field?
I read about this elsewhere to find more info and they actually do not have a process for mass producing this substance and don't plan to explore it. It's Fe16N2 if I recall correctly. Any scientists looking to apply their ingenuity could seize the opportunity to develop that process.
True, and if said jetpack were made by Apple, it wouldn't actually fly, and it would really just be an iPad, which is really just on iPod Touch, which is really just an expensive, useless device which douchebags will surely carry around with them to make themselves appear much more important and tech-savvy than they really are, much like everything else Apple makes, including said jetpack.
What is fascinating about this article is that both father and son Weinstein are Jewish, both holding high positions in universities and institutions and then being able to create to make mega bucks for themselves with private patents! Yet almost nobody else can get into these now Jewish controlled institutions once the preserve of the Anglo Saxons! which would give access and the possibility to test ideas with tools unavailable to the general inventing public.This guy has even said he based his work on another persons discovery! These Zionists have weaselled aka networked their way into every opportunity that we pay for! Stolen inventions more like it.
@Whys333 This isn't ionic vs. covalent, they both deal with an electron pair and how it is shared between two atoms. The "free flowing electrons" are just that, they aren't held between two specific atoms, but are free to pass to any of the atoms in the substance. This is what allows electric currents to flow.
@Benshaw Racism isn't cool dude.
This could help make much more efficient wind turbines and make it cheaper and get ride of the rare-resource sucking ones we use now. Neodymium was the first thing I thought of too, trireme. This is a great replacement for it. Hopefully this is true (as it said, they need to reproduce the experiment in other labs) and we can mass produce these things soon. I would have some small wind turbines. I plan on getting the Nissan Leaf and run it on solar, I won't use wind because the neodymium shortage that is bound to happen. Even though the electric and hybrid cars suck up rare resources too, because solar works basically just as well, and about the same price at my location, solar would be a better choice... Hopefully this can replace some of the rare resources in hybrids and EVs aswell.

Back one day in 1992, several prominent Long Island brokers held a far-ranging, lively conversation about the real estate industry. The discussion touched on many important areas, not least of which was the need to raise ethical standards and overall professionalism. No definitive answers resulted, but everyone agreed they should keep talking.
Out of that conversation the Commercial Industrial Brokers Society (CIBS) of Long Island was born. This year marks CIBS' 20th anniversary; it is also my 20th year with CIBS. I'm privileged to serve as president during this celebratory year and I'm pleased to highlight some accomplishments of our first two decades for you.
Every CIBS member commits to the organization's Code of Conduct defining ethical behavior and professionalism. CIBS continues to raise the bar when it comes to ethics. Earlier this spring, our organization updated the code to address the practice of sharing commissions on co-brokered deals, often a contentious topic in part because parties too often don't document their terms. Now, CIBS requires the listing broker to put commission rates and terms on paper and make them available in a timely manner. Breaking the code is grounds for expulsion. CIBS is among the first commercial real estate organizations in the country taking a stand on this issue.
CIBS programs interactive events featuring influential speakers throughout the year. Recent programs have touched on such topics as commercial space utilization; legal issues impacting tenants and lessors; new real-estate finance techniques; mixed-use development; land-use and planning; economic development and more. CIBS members meet congressmen and county executives; regional planners and town supervisors; economic development directors and village mayors.
CIBS influences public opinion through published articles in leading publications, newspaper interviews, think pieces and speaking engagements. CIBS officers opine on such topics as economic development, taxation, housing, mixed use and sustainability.
Closer to home, CIBS has created new initiatives around the issue of generational continuity. Our market is growing older; getting started is getting tougher; fewer young people are entering the field. CIBS helps the next generation Millennials-and those becoming brokers in mid-career-through a series of initiatives designed to encourage newer brokers to get involved. CIBS appoints two younger brokers to the board on non-voting roles; offers tiered membership pricing and staggered fees; and books a calendar of lively social mixers aimed at the under-40 crowd.
A key aspect of ethical behavior is social responsibility. I'm proud to say that CIBS has made significant donations to organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island and John J. Byrne Community Center in Uniondale. Earlier this year CIBS established a scholarship fund at Hofstra University in memory of Lawrence Feldman. Feldman was a driving force behind CIBS and an inspirational man who died much too young.
Proud as I am of CIBS' accomplishments over our first 20 years, I believe our greatest achievements lie ahead. If you're active in the Nassau or Suffolk markets, please consider joining CIBS. At age 20, we're just hitting our growth spurt!
As appeared in NY Real Estate Journal:
By: David Pennetta is president of CIBS, the Commercial and Industrial Business Society of Long Island.

URGENT - Utah Soccer Death

(CNN) -- A referee for a recreational soccer league who was punched in the face by a teenage player who didn't like his decision has died, police in Salt Lake City said. Ricardo Portillo was refereeing a game in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville on April 27 when he issued a "yellow card" to a player. The player turned around and punched Portillo, police said.

12 compelling business lessons from rock stars
By Steve Jones |
Posted: December 16, 2011
Business is more fun when you learn from rock stars instead of text books. If your ears are open, you'll hear many essential business lessons through your speakers.
Turn it up to "11" and sing along to these 12 compelling business lessons from rock stars, adapted from the pages of the book "
Brand Like A Rock Star: Lessons From Rock 'n' Roll To Make Your Business Rich and Famous
1. Be as unique as KISS
There was nobody like them. They wore elaborate make-up, spit blood, breathed fire, and blew stuff up on stage. Because of that, they got noticed. Getting noticed is the first critical step in marketing. If you don't get noticed, you don't exist—and you'll never have the chance to prove to anyone how great you are.
2. Be as consistent as AC/DC
Every album has the same iconic font. Every picture of the band has Angus wearing a schoolboy outfit. And they never sing about starving children in the third world or the angst of a relationship that ends badly. If your business isn't consistent, people will never know what to really expect from you.
3. Be as hated as Nickelback
It seems like the whole world hates Nickelback. Yet they've sold more than 50 million albums and continue to sell out concerts everywhere, every night.
Nickelback knows that if just 10 percent of the population loves them, the other 90 percent don't matter. Having people hate your brand is a positive thing. It means they know you and understand what you're about.
As long as you have people who feel just as strongly towards you, having haters rocks.
4. Be as PR-savvy as the Sex Pistols
They only released one album, but they made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because they shocked the world with their antics.
Manager Malcolm McLaren carefully constructed chaos around his band everywhere they went, making the news at every turn. He knew that if people were talking about his band, they would come see his band and buy their records. He was right, and the same applies to your brand.
5. Be as gracious as the Grateful Dead
They gave away their music. Fans were invited to record and share the live shows. The Grateful Dead knew that spreading their music, even for free, would result in more ticket and album sales. It was a brilliant move and helped make them one of the top-grossing live bands of the 1970s and '80s.
Does your company give something away in order to build a tribe of passionate followers? It doesn't have to be product. You can give away time, knowledge, and expertise.
6. Be as focused as Bob Marley
When Bob Marley started making music, the word "reggae" didn't exist. That's how small his niche was. He became one of the top-selling stars in music by being intensely dedicated to his craft.
Bob Marley didn't make any other kind of music, and never compromised to reach more fans. Great brands have that same focus, establishing a singular point of differentiation.
7. Be as human as The Beach Boys
Their 1965 hit "Barbara Ann" was full of mistakes. People were drunk in the studio, singing along to a song for which they didn't know the words. And The Beach Boys left them all in. The song connected with people because it was real—it sounded like an actual party in progress.
When your business exposes some flaws, intentionally, it becomes human, inspiring people to fall in love with your brand in an entirely new and personal way.
8. Be as brave as Johnny Cash
When Johnny Cash went into the studio to work with hip hop and rock producer Rick Rubin, he was a faded star. It took guts to work with Rubin, and to record covers of songs by Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, and other alternative rock stars.
Cash went out on a limb, and the result was a series of albums that revived his career and cemented is status forever. Have the bravery to take a few calculated risks, like Cash, and great things could happen.
9. Be more humble than Axl Rose
He spent 18 years and a reported $13 million dollars making the most expensive album ever recorded, Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy." For 13 years we heard how epic this album would be, and when it finally came out it was a monumental let down.
Yet musically, it wasn't that bad. It is remembered as a failure because of hype.
Hype is empty. Instead of selling us empty hype, create honest anticipation for your brand.
10. Be as true as Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan did whatever he wanted. He went electric when everyone wanted him to sing folk songs. He recorded a Christmas album when people least expected it. Bob Dylan has remained true to Bob Dylan.
Great brands have that sense of purpose. They have a set of internal values and they remain true to them, quickly finding out that there are millions of people who share those very same values.
11. Be as rare as Led Zeppelin
The 2007 Zeppelin reunion concert broke records for ticket demand. More than 20 million ticket requests were made for the 20,000 seats at London's O2 Arena, crashing servers instantly.
Since breaking up after the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980, Led Zeppelin has rarely played together. When supply is that low, and demand is that high, the value of a ticket goes way up.
There's nothing wrong with working the supply-and-demand equation in your favor. Keep demand high and make your product somewhat scarce, and you'll increase the perceived value for your brand.
12. Be an experience like Jimmy Buffett
Where else can you see thousands of people wearing coconut bras and grass skirts, drinking margaritas? A Jimmy Buffett concert isn't about the music, it is about the unique experience. Great brands don't sell products, they sell experiences. Those experiences are what we are buying into. Give your customers a cool experience instead of pitching them another product that they don't know they need.
What rock stars have affected the way you might think in business.

Runaway climbing rose

- Alert us if this breaks house rules
I have a Rosa 'Compassion' growing on one side (and over) a pergola which surrounds a walkway. I prune it back in the winter to a framework of horizontal stems but throughout the summer the stems that grow from the framework are very long in length before they flower and this makes walking through the pergola a little risky ! Are long growth spurs a feature of this rose or am I pruning it incorrectly?

You are doing nothing wrong, Roses, depending on type, need to put on a certain length of growth each year before they flower, my best advice to you would be to tie in the new branches when they are young and fairly flexible. When you prune look at the angle of the bud you have pruned to, this will give you a hint at which direction it will grow out at so you can aim the new growth away from the walk way. :)
All the best

VIMTV Album Review #451: Shearwater: Animal Joy
Tom: 84/100
Verdict: A good indie rock album with great production, intensity and vocals
Overview: Animal Joy has a primal sense about it that makes the title fit perfectly. Shearwater presents the listener with driving beats, loud guitars and impressive vocals throughout this album. The first few tracks are strong, but over the entire play it may seem to lag due to light lack of ideas. There clearly is a lot of talent here, but if you are looking for an album that expands your horizons this probably won't cut the cake. On the other hand, if you are looking for a great example of indie rock then make sure to pick this one up.
Jake's Track Picks:
- 2. Breaking the Yearlings
- 4. You as You Were
- 5. Insolence
- 9. Pushing the River

I mean really what's a Frankenstein movie without someone who's alittle mad?
Variey reports actor Karel Roden has been cast as Viktor,the mad Nazi scientist. Roden has appeared in films like Hellboy as the Rasputin and another Guillermo del Toro favorite, Blade 2. Roden joins a cast which already features names like Alexander Mercury, Joshua Sasse, Luke Newberry, Andrei Zayats, Mark Stevenson, Hon Ping Tang, Cristina Catalina, Robert Gwylim and it's still growing apparently.
The film itself "takes place toward the end of World War II, as Russian soldiers push into eastern Germany and stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Viktor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary Frankenstein's work to assemble an army of super-soldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades - a desperate Hitler's last ghastly ploy to escape defeat."
It is currently filming under director Richard Raaphort, keep an eye out for any new casting updates!

To anyone who will listen. Shelby County does not need a leader who can not manage his/her own personal life. Yes, others have similar financial problems - but they are trying to become mayor. We also do not need another individual in a leadership position that thinks laws are for everyone else! Lets wake up here folks and put someone with a brain and integrity in charge.

Microsoft just brought the touch editing on its office web apps, making it more useful and enjoyable on iPad. Clearly we are moving towards an much awaited office experience on iOS. Do give it a spin by opening http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en on your iPad.
If you prefer checking out Twitter on iPad from safari browser, then there is some good news. In coming weeks Twitter will be launching a new HTML 5 version for iPad users. Benefits, better touch responses, gestures. Its not much different from their app, but well gives you the same experience in browser.
As promised, Hugh Hefner is ready with his uncensored iPad app. Its a web based app, so you have to go to iPad browser and open i.playboy.com and then all the fun starts. But it comes at a cost, you have to buy membership, costs $8 per month, $60 for whole year and $100 for 2 years. Have fun .
Keeping the whole Flash fiasco behind, Adobe has gone ahead and updated their Adobe TV to be iPad friendly(iOS friendly). So now you can go ahead and navigate to tv.adobe.com from iPad and access those amazing videos in a tablet friendly format.
Thanks for the tip @all

Have you tried getting in touch with Samsung? Did they send you the rebate tracking website? If it's in their system, it's likely that they're the folks you need to speak with.
i was so ninja'd never saw it coming
I am a college student and absolutely LOVE my Ninja! It is perfect for quick, on-the-go meals (smoothies and so forth) especially when I don't have a lot of time. It makes cooking so much easier. The clean-up is also a snap. I recommend it for sure!
bleepbloop wrote:This is probably the older technology, their first series the motor had plastic parts that stripped out. Just be careful to pulse and not hold the button down and you should be ok. This price for a NEW Ninja with 2 pitchers and the blender, is awesome, better than the big box stores which want more than this just for the blender. I'm in for 1.
Amending my first post - it has the three blade system, so it can't be the old style, it only had two...now I wish I'd ordered 3...oh bother!
Well, the system won't let me send an email to service to add another one to my previous order of two. And I called my friend & asked him to order one for me, and the "stupidly large gold button" doesn't even show up on the order page for him. Gotta love Amazon, I miss the real Woot

the gold button shows up for me... don't blame Amawoot for your issues...
I've had both the magic bullet and the blue ninja. The bullet was no more than a gimmick, although it did serve alright for grinding coffee a couple times. On the other hand the ninja is awesome! The blades are very sharp, and alcohol burns in cuts, so be careful, LOL! It actually whips well too, try throwing in some eggs, a tablespoon of water (not milk) for each egg, and letting it run for a minute. Makes soufflé really well. At the end throw in some crumbled bacon.
ReginaFilangee wrote:Did you remember to use the TAXSUCKS coupon code? (I'm assuming it still takes the shipping off---anyone know for sure?)
Works only for deals over $45.00
The only flaw I've found is the powerhead is difficult to grip. The surface is very smooth even in the areas where it's supposed to be gripped and the way it's tapered encourages it to slip out of your hand. I trimmed a couple pieces from a no slip shower decal and stuck it on mine.

Wow - ouch.
Did anyone mention the negative reviews for the original Ninja Prep on Amazon? Most of them were "found to be helpful" by a majority of people who voted on them, and the main complaint seems to be that the blender broke after several uses. I'm not sold on Ninja.
I've had my Ninja for about 6 months and LOVE it. When they say you can turn ice cubes into snow for frozen drinks... they aren't kidding! I love making "Instant Ice Cream" in mine using ice cubes and some sort of fruit smoothie recipe. I've got some recipes on my blog - here's my favorite: http://pamtremble.blogspot.com/2010/09/fuzzy-navel-frozen-protein-yogurt.html And yes.... I actually bought this deal today. Not sure why I need another Ninja, but I couldn't pass it up. LOVE it!
stupidone0 wrote:Sheesh. I got the (refurbished) food processor by itself for $20 from a previous woot, and am very happy with it. Had I known that the whole set would have been only $15 more...
I bought that one too, but mine was missing a blade so I got a refund. Thinking about picking this one up since more containers = less washing! Yup, I'm that lazy.
I am in for 1! My $5.00 mixer from Wal-Mart died last week, my wimpy chopper is wimpy. I don't have a food processor. This thing fixes all of that! Boo-yea!
I asked above about needing this if you have a high quality blender. No replies so I google and found this excellent epinions review that discusses what the ninja does well and what you still may need a vitamix for: http://www.epinions.com/review/Ninja_Master_Prep_epi/content_492780228228
RE Hummus: The Ninja rocks hummus! Besides making snow cones in the summer, we use it to primarily make hummus...artichoke, sun dried tomato, black bean, anything. We had the basic blue Ninja with two blades (never seen a blue ninja before anyway) but saw this at Costco and took the two blader back. This thing wails!
Definitely in for one here. Will come in use for blending purposes!
Skizzo wrote:Same here, I keep refreshing the page at work. Not sure why I don't just buy it for my lady. Damn you cheapness!!
Just do it... One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is the blades: aside from being razor sharp, there are TWO SETS of blades, vs. the single blade in the Magic Bullet. With the latter, I found myself constantly shaking the thing to get the contents to move in the VERY small mixing container so the blade would get it all. With the Ninja, there is none of that. The mixing container is ample in size to allow the contents to freely move, and what's missed by one blade doesn't stand a chance with the second. I only wish I could justify pulling the trigger on this one, since we COULD use a new hand mixer, but have no need for a second Ninja.. This is a great buy. Don't kick yourself later when the sold out sign comes up... edit: OOOHHH! I just noticed that the tall spindle has THREE sets of blades... Even better still!!!
I was about to hit za big yellow button but your post..iz stopped me. You are wise, Moose man.

OneMHz wrote:Anyone tried powdering granulated sugar with this?
I have the original ninja with less blades and it works for making powder sugar, but not well. I'm thinking that with the extra blades on this new one, it would be more efficiant and not leave any grains. I say go for it.
joshmachine28 wrote:I was about to hit za big yellow button but your post..iz stopped me. You are wise, Moose man.
I recall looking at the negative reviews a while back, but it sounded like most of them did not read the manual where it tells you "Do not exceed x-number of seconds or you will burn out the motor." If you do short pulses, and give it a couple seconds of breathing time in between, you should be fine.
The Ninja is totally awesome. I use mine ALL the time! Can't recommend highly enough. I'm buying another one, well just freaking BECAUSE. BUY THIS!!! Unlike sooo many other decisions in your life, you won't regret this one.
I'm one of the many here who bought the regular "euro-pro" blue ninja (2, actually) and wish I had waited. I wonder if Walmart will give store credit for a reconditioned product?
Isn't that a slightly different, less powerful model with only 2 blades instead of three (or 4 versus 6 if you count that way) and not "twice as fast"? Looking at the reviews for this unit there are some but not nearly as many complaints about reliability as there are for the blue model. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003J518MW/ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003UVG3X4/ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QB575S/ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003O47MKA/ I keep on hearing about a version with metal gears and 1100 watts but the only thing I can find with those specs are the more traditional style blenders from ninja.
phacopida wrote:Patented Ninja technology? How can you patent Ninja technology? What IS Ninja technology???
LOL! It must be just a notch below Chuck Norris technology, but only he can patent that.
unspokenword wrote:I pretty mad that I just impulse bought this on sale at Wal-Mart with almost none of the accesories for $40.
If you are mad now, wait until I tell you that you got the old 400-Watt model.
In for 1!
Agree -- I stripped the gear drive making hummus. But I love this product; I thought I loved my Magic Bullet, but this takes it over the top. I'm buying another one with the pulse technique in mind!
These are really great items. And for the price you wont feel bad when there're worn out and you have to chunk them.
Last time I order anything from a wootoff. I would have happily paid $15 more for this rather than the basic one from the wootoff. Anyone on wootstaff listening??
promyst wrote:Looks like a lot of people like the Ninja more than the Magic Bullet More opinions
Intrigued. Will probably have to purchase one just for the sake of owning ninja technology.

Wow.. Someone else who is old enough to remember "Crazy" Eddie Antar.. And all along I was thinking that I was an ancient island amongst a sea of college aged wooters...
Lots of positive reviews lead me to be in for 1! This will cut back my time cutting up those peppers, onions, ect.
Smoothie season is upon us, and I'm tired of having to stop my blender a half dozen times to push down the frozen dome that creates an air pocket around the blades. That won't be problem with the Ninja, right? With all the Ninja pieces, it looks like storage could be an issue. Does anyone know if the small bowl will at least fit inside one of the pitchers? And how does one safely store the blades if not in the bowl\pitchers?

Mathamela eyes FC AK
HAVING blown an estimated R20-million on Atlie FC, Tembisa-based businessman Thabo Mathamela is now negotiating to take over FC AK.
Mathamela has been in discussions over the purchase of the Eldorado Park-based side after his own team were relegated from the National First Division, sources involved in the deal said.
Last year the millionaire businessman, who made his fortune in the security and transport sector, bought Nathi Lions and managed to get the club's name changed and relocated it from Durban to Tembisa.
But his Atlie team finished at the bottom of the NFD after a flurry of coaching changes, including Styles Phumo, Conti Khubeka, Sello Chokoe and Mlungisi Ngubane.
Jerry Sikhosana is being lined up to lead the new team.
The club will be coached by former Bucs skipper Dan Malesela and the players have already moved to the capital. But the sale is yet to be approved by the PSL.

BKE Kate Stretch Cropped Jean 1 1
Be aware... I've had these crops for about maybe two years now. They have a great fit and love the color. Although the front of the jean, near and around the pockets were it has small scratch marks to make the jean look distressed have began to become holes. Some people may think this is fashionable but I for one don't enjoy my skin being visible. Another problem I am now facing is the leather bke tab on the back has stained the pants near the tab and in the lower back near the pockets. It's definitely not a flattering look at all. I had planned to have jeans repaired but after seeing stain on rear these pants are no longer wearable. If buying these jeans take precaution when washing and drying them. I would recommend to buckle to no longer use the leather tab or find another faux leather material that doesn't bleed onto fabrics. December 20, 2012
