I got rid of my blender, in favor of one of these. I was killing a blender about every year because I drink smoothies every morning. I got tired of expensive blenders, and went with an immersion blender. I have yet to be disappointed. If I do inevitably burn out the motor, the cost is far less to replace. I've also hit the two year mark on mine with no issues. I loved it so much when Costco had the cuisenart version on sale for $20 with all the extra attachments, I snapped it up.

ALICE.RADLEY I use mine for frozen fruit all the time. Ice cubes are a total no-go, but the frozen fruit works just fine. In fact, I prefer it for frozen fruit smoothies, than a blender because there is nevera any missed chunks. The key is to make sure your milk/ricemilk/water/juice or whatever for you smoothie is in the container, and then it's fine.

Where does one get the straw tea flavored versions. I don't like normal oreos, but those sound amazing.

I actually didn't replace my blender when it died. It was huge, and I was going through one every year or so due to my smoothie addiction. Instead I started making smoothies with my immersion blender. I don't make smoothies with ice, because my immersion blender can't handle it, but frozen fruit works great.

Sketchbook Pro is also iOS. It's one of my favorites. I also use sketch club a lot. It's sketchy brush is perfect for quick and dirty characterizations. It's different than paper, of course, but I've been doing almost as much on my tablet as I have in my old fashioned sketchbook.

How were the PDF's not working in iBooks? I have hundreds and hundreds of gamebooks, lovecraft stories, and whatnot in PDF, but I had not noticed a problem. Am I just missing it?

That's a tall order around here. I have a helluva time just getting a hold of sake. My choices are usually that terrible gekkeikan sake, and maybe one or two more upscale brands if I am lucky.

I keep an extensive recipe book in Evernote. It lets me adjust them, and share them on the fly, too.

1 pound per person really doesn't sound like enough. I have some inlaws that break the laws of physics with how much they can put away, so it would't hold a candle to them.

@Lisa (Montreal) I don't think so at all. The vast majority of my friends are very much below the poverty line by a lot. Those of us doing "well" are not even considered middle class monetarily.

It's a myth that ethical eating has to cost more. When I was a vegetarian, I actually paid less for my food because meat is expensive.

I had a friend manage an "adventure meat" dinner that still managed to accomodate celiacs and vegetarians. It never occurred to me this would be a big issue.

I like iCloud for everything else, but I'm not putting my mail into it. I have too many gmail accounts for different things. School, work, official, and just me. Oh, and one honeypot account for spammy signups. That just isn't going to fly with the @me thing.

At least the calendar syncs completely with the google calendar. That's useful.

However, the syncing function of everything else is quite good.
