Researchers turn to cats to help soften robot landings
The animal kingdom is fertile ground for roboticists looking to improve on their designs, with everything from insects, fish, seahorses, jellyfish, caterpillars, snakes and birds providing inspiration. Now researchers at Georgia Tech are turning to cats to help soften robot landings. Rather than strapping some felines to a robot's underside, the team is studying the way cats twist in the air when falling to let future robots land safely from a jump or fall. Read More
Ocean gliding robots used to study melting Antarctic sheet ice
The use of "ocean gliders" for conducting research in oceanic conditions not ideal for regular methods has been catching on in the scientific community. Examples of this have been seen in the detection of endangered whales in the North Atlantic and a study of the Atlantic sturgeon. Researchers have now turned their robotic ocean helpers towards Antarctica, to study the rapidly-melting ice sheets on the coast of the western part of that polar land mass. Read More
Megabots: Paintball with giant robots
Who hasn't looked at a sporting event and thought that it would be better if it involved giant robots wailing on each other? That seems to be the thinking of the people behind the MegaBots Kickstarter campaign, who are raising money to build giant humanoid robots with human drivers to take on each other in paintball arena games.

The robotic revolution is very often less about replacing human workers than finding ways of working alongside them. That means being as flexible at doing tasks as humans, as well as being able to work with all the jostling and chaos that people take for granted. Rethink Robotics' new Robot Positioning System lets the Baxter robot do factory work without being bolted to the floor, adjusting itself as it endures random bumps. Read More
Not content with working as sales assistants and burger flippers, robots are landing jobs on cruise ships as bartenders and entertainers. Leading the way is Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas, which is currently on its maiden voyage. Read More
Lowe's trials robot sales assistants
In the near future, you might be surprised to visit to the giant hardware store in your town and find yourself greeted by a chatty robot rather than a human sales assistant. A harbinger of this age of robotic shopping is being trialled with two Oshbot robot sales assistants at an Orchard Supply Hardware store in San Jose, California. Built by Lowe's Innovation Labs and Silicon Valley technology company Fellow Robots using "science fiction prototyping," the OSHbots are designed to not only identify and locate merchandise, but to speak to customers in their own languages.

As confirmed by a strong robot presence in our round-up of the best tech toys for kids this year, there's something captivating and fascinating about interacting with robots. But rather than just play with a factory-assembled robot like the mesmerizing MiP we got to control at IFA back in the September, many folks want to build and customize their own. The Brighton, UK-based Maker Club has launched a project developed for the home and educational market that combines a custom control chip, a mobile app, an online learning package and 3D printing.

pot vents plus ridge vent
I have a hip roof with less than 10 ft of ridge so I have pot vents. Would adding a ridge vent help or would it just interfere with the pot vents working properly?
By pot vent I mean those cheap metal square things like the following. I have 10 of them on my roof (5 on each of two sections) and the home has about a 2400SF perimeter
Sorry I didn't save the source, but when I was doing the roof on our hip I found an on-line formula that was very clear about how many square inches of unpowered vent would serve. I have only 14 feet of ridge, but used a vented shingle, plus I bought several good-sized "turtle" vents and kept the two little ones that the house originally had.
I also went to some trouble to improve the soffit venting. I think it's paid off in the living quality of the house, and it should help ensure that the asphalt roof lies flat for a long time. (We bought pretty good architectural, long-warranty shingles, and figure there's no point in undermining their useful life span with poor installation. I told my wife it was my last roof, and I hope I'm right!)
Good luck,

I created this comprehensive composition in After Effects, Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Nuke 6/NukeX.
The biggest challenge was rotoing the talent against the desk, given the lack of greensceen. I tried doing the keying in AE (talent-based and luma-based desktop), but couldn't create a good mask without Primatte. Given the extensive nature of motion blur, Keylight alone seemed inadequate.
I ended up using NukeX, breaking down the key into 2 arm keys (inner and outer skin tones), hair key, black part of the sleeve key, and a face key (mostly around the lips). I created a fairly comprehensive garbage matte to keep out the desk and used the new paint/roto tools to get rid of matte holes and retouch the lines. Because motion blur was impacted, I added it back in AE with RSMB Pro.
All the graphic elements (music widgets, scroll bars, etc.) were started or done in Photoshop and Illustrator. Using smart objects, I was able to make changes to one items (music icon) which would update the rest. The table graphics where composited in a normal composition, then corner pinned in the scene footage.

I'll try and post more chapters to get some fresh blood in, then, heh. But start some discussion, and I think you'll find people will join in. I bet there are a lot of lurkers, and if not, at least that discussion increased exposure, right?
Chapter 9
"This… this is it?"
She stepped onto a bed of lush green wild rice, matted down by the travels of dozen of wild animals that lived in the depth of the mountain forest that surrounded Yi's village. Or what was left of it. Ahri had been expecting blackened ruins, bones strewn about the ground, and blood-stained dirt. She had half-expecting the ghosts of Yi's village to burst from the ground in mindless anger.
But she was completely, utterly wrong. It… it was beautiful.
The stone steps they had climbed had only a few weeds sprouting through their cracks. There was a gentle breeze, kissed with mist, as the wind picked up flecks of water from the waterfall that roared on the other side of a cliff, opposite of where the small cottages of Yi's village used to stand proudly. The terraced fields still grew wild maize and rice on their numerous platforms. The crops were constantly watered by the mists of the waterfall across, and therefore grew bursting at the seams with a bountiful harvest.
Ahri reached down, and picked a small ear of maize. She peeled back part of the husk, and took a small bite.
Tears came to her eyes. It was so sweet. It was so good.
There were no blackened ruins. No fields of bones. The people of Ionia did their best to clean up the ghosts of the past. The blackened timbers were scattered, the dirt purified and turned over, and the bones matched back to their owners as best they could, and buried with blessings. No more cottages stood. No more farmers worked tirelessly in the fields. There was only a young meadow, fields of delicious wild harvest, and a small, solemn graveyard, with row after row of unmarked posts. Even that gentle reminder of death was beautiful in such a place.
"Welcome to home, Ahri." Yi strode through the fields of rice, feeling the ripening heads with his right hand. In his left hand, he held the Dragon Rising with a loose grip. "What do you think?"
She opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out. Her mouth seemed to be filled with cotton, and her vision started to blur. Confused, she looked down, only to see fresh spots of tears fall from her eyes, and splash onto the ground at her feet. She realized then… she was weeping. She fell to her knees.
It… it was so beautiful… and…Singed destroyed it all…
"…I am so sorry."
Yi sighed, and crouched. He put a comforting hand on Ahri's shoulder.
"Come. Let's go meet my wife."
"I'm glad, though." Ahri murmured as they walked. "Even Singed couldn't destroy everything."
They walked over to the graveyard. Hundreds of posts stood solemnly in a grid, each guarding their occupant until time would die. Yi stopped in front of one particular unmarked post. Ahri didn't see why. There was nothing to distinguish it from the dozens of other posts in the ground around it. Yi kneeled down, and bowed to the post.
"How… do you know…"
Yi didn't answer. He looked back up. He looked up at Ahri.
"I don't know." He gently gripped Ahri's hand, and put another on the post. He slowly pulled the two together. "I feel. Ahri, this is Rixa. Rixa was my last wife from my village." He placed his hand over Ahri's and onto the post. "Rixa, this is Ahri."
Ahri looked back down at the post. Did Yi really feel that this was her? But…
She hurriedly pushed back her doubts. She wanted to do this. Ahri closed her eyes, and tried to connect with the deceased woman. She closed her eyes, and let her hand feel the smooth, cool, white wood that was the essence of Rixa. She fell silent for a long, long time as she meditated. The wind grew colder, and she shivered a bit, but she stayed stock still, almost as if she was praying.
After a while, she let go. Yi turned to her.
"What did you say?"
Ahri turned to Yi. She gave a small smile.
"…I said, 'Thank you'"
The lightning was growing stronger. She could feel the hairs on her skin raise in response to the energy Xerath had gathered above. Death was near. Yet, she didn't seem to mind. She slowly got up on all fours, closer and closer to that ball of thunder above her. She could barely see Xerath through the sheet of black hair that hung in front of her eyes as she raised her head. Her hands balled into fists.
I am not afraid,
Whoooo new chapter!
Nek minnit... its a Naruto-style flashback...
Nah, I kid, I kid.
Uh oh. Don't want to be compared to Naruto here.
I added a line at the end which will make it clear as to why I included this chapter. Cliffhangers ftw.
Yeah I kinda noticed that last line, and eagerly waiting.
And besides, no-one wants to be compared to Naruto. WTF is with the storyline...
She is starting to learn the Wu o.O?
Maybe.... she is still learning magic after all...
Maybe its Maybelline~~~
Cept all Maybelline girls are Photoshopped.
Maybe it's that? Whatever, I need to stop procrastinating with the next chapter.

Senator Doug Cameron speaks at the ALP conference.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard delivers an address to the 46th National Conference of the Australian Labor Party in Sydney on December 2.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh arrives at the ALP conference.
At the conference.
Labor has embraced tougher industrial relations principles that would give unions greater bargaining rights while placing new obligations on employers, as the Gillard government prepares for a renewed row with business.
Union leaders succeeded in inserting new measures into Labor's national policy in the first step of a plan to amend the Fair Work Act and reset the industrial relations debate in the wake of the acrimonious
The ALP's peak policy forum also heard strong attacks on
But the industrial relations changes were put through the conference with unanimous support as the Labor conference backed a "job security campaign" by the ACTU.
In a key section of the new chapter to the party's platform, Labor agrees that its review of the Fair Work Act should consider the need for amendments to the law to "increase the take-up of bargaining in those workplaces and/or industry sectors which currently do not have enterprise agreements or have low levels of bargaining".
Business is agitating for the review, to begin by January 1, to respond to its concerns that it is too easy for unions to take strike action and to interfere in management decisions. Other amendments to the Labor platform instruct the government to:
Encourage and support employers, unions and employees to work together to find creative and flexible ways of supporting jobs and keeping employees in work during periods of economic downturn".
■ Take steps to protect those most vulnerable to the changes in industries – school leavers, apprentices and trainees, the newly unemployed (especially older people), the long-term unemployed and those in vulnerable regions
■ Continue to develop mechanisms to protect workers' superannuation.
■ Provide new training opportunities to Australians who are vulnerable to unemployment.
The new platform also instructs the government to legislate to protect employee entitlements by amending corporations law and obliging employers to make proper provisions for them.
The moves came as Prime Minister
Past Labor governments had worked hard to develop an industrial system of conciliation and arbitration and the current government would fight to protect that legacy, she said.
"That urgent, ultimate test they set for Labor in office is still the same: did you do the right thing for rights at work," she said to an audience including 400 delegates from party branches and unions, as well as parliamentarians.
"Your Labor government put WorkChoices in the grave," she said. "And only victory in 2013 will bury WorkChoices forever."
ACTU secretary Jeff Lawrence advocated the changes to the party platform as he attacked a "dishonest" campaign by employers that would not accept an enforceable right to collective bargaining by unions.
Mr Lawrence said the "secure jobs" campaign would back the rights of the 40 per cent of the workforce he said were in some form of insecure work, as he vowed the campaign would intensify after the peak union body's congress in May.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry industrial relations specialist David Gregory said the Fair Work Act has worked to reestablish the power of trade unions.
"They have been massive beneficieries and to claim that the power has shifted towards empoyers is ludicrous."

RICH: Collecting food ideas can be a recipe for a mess
Do you flip through magazines or newspapers and find a recipe, tear it out, then stuff it in a drawer somewhere? And, worse than that, never give it a try?
RICH: The glorious Grant Tinker
Saluting TV legend Grant Tinker on his 88th birthday.
RICH: A reminder of why I love the South
It happened the other day. It's funny how things so simple can remind us of things so meaningful, of those sweets that are tucked inside our hearts and unknowingly treasured.
RICH: Mama was cool in her own way
My parents, according to the world's definition of "cool" were not.
RICH: Learning to live with the new Southern Living
A few years ago, the magazine I have long loved – Southern Living – changed. Like most Southerners, I have an aversion to change which is why our traditions have such strangle hold. We never let go.
RICH: Sometimes history is better than fiction
Several months ago, I ran across a book called "Alone Among The Living," one of the most powerful titles I have ever heard
RICH: Parents' wisdom stays with us long after they pass
There are few who cannot say truthfully that they miss their parents after death has laid claim to those loved ones. The parents who taught us, scolded us and, at times, annoyed us are never forgotten, never put away on a shelf to be remembered no more.
RICH: The joy of pinto beans and cornbread
One afternoon, I had a hankering, a primal-like craving, for a supper of pinto beans and cornbread with a tall glass of cold, rich buttermilk thrown in for good measure and extra filling.
RICH: Success comes thanks to the ones who lift you up
That's the difference between success and failure. It's not what we do, but how high we are lifted by those around us.
RICH: The apple tree that never found a home
That apple tree. Oh my goodness. Something told me it wouldn't turn out well.
RICH: The pieces of life's puzzle
This happened years ago. Mama was alive then so it's been seven or eight years. I hadn't thought about in almost that many years but when it came to mind the other day, I took to studying on it and how the circumstances and opportunities of life's journey can be so fascinating.
THOMAS: Hillary's health matters
If Hillary Clinton's concussion was not serious and there are no concerns about its long-term effects; if the glasses she now wears are not to correct double vision or other lingering symptoms attributed to her fall, then there is no problem. But if the reverse is true and she is covering it up, the public has a right to know and she has a duty to tell us.
RICH: The obituary call tree
Yes, I know that I am, occasionally, prone to embellishment. But trust me when I say this is the law and the gospel: I have a long-time friend who only calls me when someone dies. Most times, I know the person but sometimes I don't have a clue the person ever existed.
RICH: When Mama tried to write a book
Everyone loved Mama. And they loved stories about her. This is a column written before her death but never published. I decided to share it to celebrate Mama.
RICH: Learn to minimize the drama
Drama is only as big as you make it.

Meet the New Black Friday (Same as the Old Black Friday), and Other News
November 28, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- The mystery novelist P. D. James is dead at ninety-four. "'When I first heard that Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall,' she was fond of saying, 'I immediately wondered: Did he fall — or was he pushed?' " (James was interviewed for The Paris Review's Art of Fiction series in 1995.)
- Black Friday is hell. But now there is a new hell, for there is a New Black Friday. (It involves Walmart and money.)
- "In recent years, not just in novels but in movies, television, poetry, video games and the visual arts, drones have taken on a life of their own. As a character, they are menacing, melancholy or gallant; beastly, blind, snub-nosed, noisy and fast—Predators and Reapers in real life, 'Helicarriers' in Hollywood. They are the oversize hook at the end of a joystick, a militarized, antiseptic video game characterized by precision; or they are a weapon system proliferating at a breathtaking rate, and leaving a trail of destruction behind. They show off the military talent of their users, or they are an expression of unbridled hubris. They represent protection or extermination—and they carry out both things at once."
- In 1948, an eleven-year-old girl named Sally Horner was abducted—and the details of the case bear more than a passing resemblance to Lolita.
- Something to ponder over leftovers: the literature of Thanksgiving. (From Mark Twain: "In the island of Fiji they do not use turkeys; they use plumbers. It does not become you and me to sneer at Fiji.")

In Search of Lost Time
October 15, 2012 | by Anna Wiener
It is, all told, a strange summer. Down the street from my apartment, children play inside of plastic bags. Glaciers shed ice the size of Manhattan. Scientists find that sharks smell in stereo. Horoscopes are cited as primary sources at social gatherings. Restlessness flows. For three consecutive nights I dream exclusively of vacuuming a garden snake.
On a Sunday afternoon I detour from fondling impractical kitchenware at Pearl River Mart and go where I go when I need to stop time: to visit my grandfather at his loft on West Broadway. He is eighty-four, a sculptor, a Southerner, tall and round bellied, deaf in one ear from an adult case of mumps. His face bears an impressive mustache and bifocals as large and wide as safety goggles. Alzheimer's is smoothing the lines of his memory, a stone turning in water.
He has lived in this apartment since 1970, and from what I can tell it has hardly changed; it could easily be a soundstage from an early Woody Allen film, with its leather seats shaped into dripstones by decades of party guests, its ceramics and abstract art, the copy of Joe Brainard's I Remember that had taken up permanent residence in the bathroom long before it carried any personal symbolism. The front half of the loft is still a studio, with a meticulously labeled array of tools and materials, despite the fact that these days my grandfather is physically, psychically unable to work. For the last few years I've kept keys under a conditionality: just in case. In this case it only means that I let myself in.
"What are you up to today?" I ask my grandfather, to which he replies, "Just trying to have a brilliant idea."

1, Love
September 10, 2012 | by Ross Kenneth Urken
At its best, my slice backhand follows the flamboyant path of a violin virtuoso's bow striking the climactic note of a concerto—from above my right shoulder plucked diagonally down to my left shoestring. The ball's tone is a hollow pok on hard courts and a chalky chh-chh on clay that dies on the second bounce. All these dramatics—mere vestiges of a time when I wanted to impress Angela, my middle school crush.
Angela played number one singles on the undefeated coed spring team at our private school in Princeton, New Jersey. Her long Italian American locks springing along with her high jumping-forehand, her second serve ball tucked in the spandex beneath her pristine tennis skirt—she was a vision of beauty to watch. Her movement around the court traced the Etch A Sketch path of someone fully in control of the game's portrait.
In Lolita, Humbert Humbert describes how Dolores Haze plays singles at least twice a week with a classmate, Linda Hall, employing teasing tactics against her and "toying with [her] (and being beaten by her)." The particular beauty of Dolores's tennis game is, for Humbert, a prerequisite for an amenable afterlife, or so he whimsically hyperbolizes one crisp afternoon as Dolores plays in Colorado: "No hereafter is acceptable if it does not produce her as she was then, in that Colorado resort between Snow and Elphinstone, with everything right …"
The Fetish
February 16, 2012 | by Vanessa Blakeslee
The slim novel came my way quite by accident. I had stumbled across a review of the film The Lover and ordered a VHS copy through my movie-of-the-month club. The first Saturday I could secure a house free of hovering parents, my fellow honors English friends and I, as sex obsessed as we were lit geeks, watched, enraptured, Marguerite Duras's autobiographical depiction of an adolescent girl in French Indochina who embarks on an affair with a wealthy Chinese man. The girl's family is crass and impoverished, but she is a good student and wants to be a writer. Soon after, I got my hands on a paperback with a cinema-still cover and was not disappointed.
"I'm fifteen and a half," the unnamed narrator repeats early in the book. "There are no seasons in that part of the world, we have just the one season, hot, monotonous, we're in the long hot girdle of the earth, with no spring, no renewal." Nothing suggested sex as much as sensual lyricism, warm, distant places, and anything French.
I was also fifteen and a half, a virgin consumed with the mysteries of sex, of forbidden encounters. I was also going to be a writer. I read the book and watched the film again and again. Just what was The Lover's appeal? By then I had discovered Lady Chatterly's Lover and Lolita, but Duras's novel resonated more acutely, an exotic Lolita tale but told from the woman's (if she could be called that) point of view.
My favorite section was where the narrator describes herself on the ferry, wearing gold lamé high heels and a man's fedora: "Going to school in evening shoes decorated with little diamanté flowers. I insist on wearing them. I don't like myself in any others, and to this day I still like myself in them." It is the day she is about to meet the "Chinaman" for the first time. She is fixated on this particular, outlandish ensemble, as stubborn as a child playing dress up. But the faint hint of pedophilia, of prostitution, fell so far into the background that it became practically invisible to me then, obscured by the striking imagery and strange, lush atmosphere of colonial Saigon.

Race shoes that just work and disappear
By Felix
from Washington DC
Comments about Mens New Balance 1400v2 Running Shoe:
Started use as a training shoe but now save them mainly for race day. Great shoe that you can put on and forget; they simply work. Used them in races from 5K to 10 miles. Use orthotics for a bit more arch support but otherwise shoe is good out of the box. Took a couple of short runs before shoes felt totally broken in.

I bought this product and I just absolutely love it!!! I highly recommend this bookcase to anyone. It's good quality furniture at a reasonable price. The shipping came in a timely fashion and packaging was very secure and padded. Easy to assemble.
Modern, heavy, sturdy and easy to put together. Everything is labeled with clear diagrams.
This is a high quality and sturdy bookcase. Whoever purchases this product will not be disappointed. It was packed well, instructions were included and can be put together in about an hour. It will be a great addition to any room. I was truly impressed.
This is the perfect bookshelf for a small apartment. The open style is very modern and airy, yet the entire piece is really solid. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at the high quality and sturdiness once assembled. It was relatively simple to assemble. I love that the top shelf is open so you can store tall pieces that might not fit on a standard bookshelf. Overall, I highly recommend this bookshelf!
These bookcases are OUTSTANDING! i bought 2 of them, attached them together and now have a beautiful wooden bookcase in my front window where I display my glass, crystal and plants. They have changed the look of my living room. it is amazing how wonderful they look. As for putting them together, I am a 62 year old female and they took me a total of 3 hours to put the 2 together. Couldn't have been any easier. As for how my order was handled by Overstock. Com, I ordered these bookcases on Sunday afternoon (January 8th) and they showed up at my door at 11:00 a.m. Friday morning (January 13th), It was really amazing how fast they arrived and I had them put together before my husband came home from work. Wonderful experience. Thanks Overstock.com.
Very elegant and stylish. It fits my pacific-island decor of mahogany with cream. Excellent quality. Extremely grateful for OS for making this affordable. This piece will have many uses in my home.
The bookcase arrived in perfect shape and was easy to put together, taking about 1 hour. The finished product is solid and beautiful. I liked it so much I purchased a second the next week.
I genuinely enjoy this book shelf also because it is open and thus not looking so massive. It is fitting a lot of my books which I have on each of the shelf layers and some little extras. Love the color, quality, and sturdiness and recommend this contemporary looking item.
The reviews were absolutely accurate about this bookcase. It was packaged well, easy to assemble, made with top quality wood and very sturdy. We love it.
It's exactly what I wanted and was looking for. I needed a bookcase for knickknacks that was open so that it wouldn't look too balky and cluttered and it worked out PERFECTLY. I'm very satisfied.

Hard tail or short travel - say max 120mm - full sus?
Bike Forum
What's faster for XC races?
Horses for courses.
See the Olympic men's race for more:
1st 90mm 29er FS
2nd 650b hardtail
3rd 29er hardtail
depends on the course
(for the same rider)
Stronger legs ..
The red one. That's science FACT.
I dont have a red one. Silver or White?
Silver is always faster than white.
Hmm. That's the HT.
No, it's all affecting my sensitive arse. I like a bit of comfort and find the lack of speed and flow during muddy winter riding causes a crashy thumpy rear end.
Depends on the rider
(For the same course)
Stick with your current bike, and race cyclocross in the winter on a proper cross bike.

No, it's all affecting my sensitive arse. I like a bit of comfort and find the lack of speed and flow during muddy winter riding causes a crashy thumpy rear end.
Dare we say m t f u???
120's quite generous but I'm faster on my 100mm 26 FS a) because I can't ride a HT on a rooty XC course for more than 90m without being in serious pain and b)because it's more forgiving of my poor line choice.
Even on rooty shortcourse it was faster though that's more to do with my skill level (lack of) but I found I was able to pedal sections that my 26" hard tail was just choppy and throwing me around on.
Mike - yes fair comment.
Adsh - this exactly my strategy - bash my way through and blast the small downhill sections. We are talking 2hrs on single track.
A rubber chicken?
I carry one all the time in my bottle cage... The legs stick out, you know, but it makes me look F .. a......s......t. Trouble is they're a funny yellow'ish colour, so maybe it'll clash with your bike.
Worth it I reckon.
I'd take a ht on a groomed course or a fs on a natural one. If I could have only one it would be a fs such as an anthem that pedals really well.

Which Ice Cream Maker?
I want to get an ice cream maker, but am at a loss as to which one to buy.
I looked online at a few and read the reviews, but still uncertain.
I don't need anything huge, I don't want to spend a small fortune. I do want an electric model and would prefer one that does not require ice and salt.
Any recommendations?
Linda, many of us have a cuisinart and they are great. I have the stainless steel model which was $79 w/20 pct off at Bed, Bath and Beyond. The regular model is fine too and a bit less expensive. Where were you last fall when Amazon had the $14 deal w/free shipping on the Cuisinart? How'd ya miss that one!? I bought one for my BIL/SIl and their kids.
Linda, the one I have is linked to below. I'm very happy with it. My sister has the smaller one, and now wishes she had the larger one. You can always make less if you don't need the whole 2 quarts.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cuisinart 2 qt Ice Cream Maker
Linda, Here is the one Duane is talking about. I have an extra one if you want it. Let me know.
I haven't used mine, but a lot of people here purchased them so maybe they can give you some good info to help you decide.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
I bought a Kitchenaid ice cream maker attachment, which replaces the regular mixing bowl, and was very happy with it, but shortly thereafter I bought the Cuisinart that Tracey linked to because it was a deal I could not pass up. I found the Cuisinart to be extremely noisy, and so I had to put it in the guest room/sewing room to make ice cream. My kitchen is open to my living room, and I was unable to watch TV with the Cuisinart ice cream making running in the kitchen. If you are not concerned about noise, then it is perfectly fine, but the KA attachment will make a larger batch, by about 25%, which made it perfect for some of the recipe I have, whereas the Cuisinart required a reduced recipe.
Tracey, you have an extra? How in the world did you end up with two?
Thanks for the info, everyone!
I don't think noise would be an issue for me, not sure. I guess it would depend on how long it takes to make a batch.
I wish I had a KA mixer, but all I have ever had/used is a hand-held electric mixer. Maybe someday...
I have the 2 qt model that caboodle linked to. I LOVE it. It is noisy - but I put it in the laundry room and close the door...we use it all the time. we just made a milk chocolate ice cream on Saturday. I've used it to make homemade ice cream for my brother's 50th birthday party - and special ice cream for my valentine's party.
It's great because lots of people aren't used to getting homemade ice cream and it's a real treat. I made two different kinds for my brother's party - just started them a couple days ahead of time.
I would go with a 2 qt if you can - you don't have to make that much but sometimes you want to.
I don't have the 2 quart, I have the smaller cuisinart that is linked in a prior post.
It takes about half an hour to make ice cream and I didn't find it that noisy but my kitchen is separate from my living room and so I can watch television while the dryer, the dishwasher or the ice cream machine are running in the kitchen and I don't notice.
I seldom use it, but the grandkids love to make their own ice cream, so I've made half a dozen batches, maybe. It works fine.
I also have the small cuisinart. Mine came with a free extra bowl.....some kind of special deal when I bought it. I don't think it's that loud...about the same as the bread machine when it's kneading dough. 20 - 30 minutes sounds right as far as time goes. That time is after your cooked or heated ingredients have had time to chill though.
Either the machines themselves vary widely in how tightly they are constructed hence the noise issues or some people are more sensitive than others. Since I am sensitive to noise in general, I suspect they must vary from unit to unit in how much noise they make. I need to make some ice cream to really research this. Yeah, that's why I need ice cream. You bet.
I'm wondering the same thing. I have an older Hobart Kitchenaid mixer and this Cuisinart is maybe a bit louder that that, but not much. We certainly are able to be in the same room with it. We have an open kitchen/dining/living area and it certainly doesn't run us out of the room.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
15 Aug 2012 21:27 GMT | Business & Economy, Middle East
The main Syrian rebel group has claimed responsibilty for an explosions in central Damascus near the hotel used by the UN observer mission in Syria.
Abu al-Noor, a spokesperson for the Ahfad Al Rasoul Brigade that has claiming responsibility for the bombing, told Al Jazeera that the Free Syrian Army (FSA) had been planning the strike for a month.
"The operation was targeting the central security command in response to murders perpetrated by the security forces nationwide," he said in a phone interview from Damascus on Wednesday morning.
Syrian state television reported that the blast, in the Abu Remanih area near a military depot and the trade union headquarters, was caused by a bomb planted in a fuel vehicle on Wednesday morning.
Live Box 20117693233259422
Several ambulances rushed to the scene and a security cordon was set up, according to witnesses.
Syrian state television reported that the attack wounded at least three people, but the rebels said they suspect "many" officers had been killed or injured.
The FSA planted eight explosive canisters in the vicinity of the Syrian military's Central Security Command, timed to explode during their daily meeting, said Abu al-Noor of the Ahfad Al Rasoul Brigade.The FSA had intelligence suggesting some 150 high-ranking officers would be attending the meeting. He did not know how many casualties had occurred because the security forces had secured the area.
"We will continue to carry out similar operations in the capital until we reach him [Assad] in the presidential palace," Abu al-Noor said.
Several hours after the blast, anti-government activists said that rebels clashed with Syrian forces near the government headquarters and the Iranian embassy in the Mezze area of Damascus.
'Criminal act'
Faisal Mekdad, the Syrian deputy minister, toured the area of the blast shortly afterwareds and said none of the UN staff was hurt.
"This is a criminal act that shows what kind of attacks Syria is being subjected to," he said at the scene. "Such explosions will not affect Syria.""I confirm that we are with the UN and we will do all we can to guarantee their protection so that they carry out their role."
Live Box 2011421105226899357
General Babacar Gaye, the head of the UN Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS), had held a press conference in the hotel, the Dama Rose, on Monday.
UNSMIS was not immediately available for comment.
The explosion occurred as Valerie Amos, the UN humanitarian chief, was in the city, but her team is believed to be staying at a different hotel.
Al Jazeera's Rula Amin, reporting from Beirut in neighbouring Lebanon, said the FSA's apparent incursion into the heart of Damascus showed that it was gaining inconfidence.
"If indeed this is the work of the Free Syrian Army, this is a breakthrough for them," she said. "What's interesting is that this is a very secure area."
Plume of smoke
Opposition activists said massive explosions echoed across much of the city and a video released by one opposition group showed a large plume of smoke billowing into the sky.
A spokesperson for the opposition Local Co-ordination Committees in Damascus told Al Jazeera there was a big explosion followed by a series of smaller explosions.
Shareef Shihada, a member of Syria's parliament, said only few people injured and some damage. He said the explosion had not hit a military target.Damascus has been rocked by several bomb blasts in recent days, including an attack last month at the national security headquarters that killed three of President Bashar al-Assad's security commanders.The UN Security Council is due to meet on Thursday to discuss the future of UNSMIS, whose mandate expires on August 19.
On the diplomatic front, the US defence secretary, Leon Panetta, accused Iran on Tuesday of setting up pro-government militias in Syria.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Flood money paid for CEO's romantic trip
MANFF up against new allegations
The leader of a Manitoba emergency services agency under a federal probe booked a Vancouver trip for himself and a woman, where the two shared a hotel room for a week last October.
The next month, the same leader, CEO Daren Mini, and seven others took another all-expenses-paid trip to Toronto for a national conference hosted by ground search and rescue.
Related Items
Both trips took place within a month of each other and both were on the taxpayers' dime, internal documents bearing the Manitoba Association of Native Fire Fighters official letterhead state.
The agency, in charge of services for nearly 2,000 displaced First Nations flood evacuees since 2011, is the same one that's at the centre of a federal investigation. That probe is looking at allegations that funds earmarked for flood victims were misappropriated and hotels are owed millions of dollars.
Documents obtained by the Free Press show staff at MANFF questioned both trips but didn't do anything to stop them.
The disclosures are the latest in a paper trail of financial irregularities and questionable decisions the Free Press reported a month ago when Ottawa announced its investigation.
Also part of the probe are allegations of family favouritism, fraudulent mileage claims, hundreds of hours of questionable overtime, excessive catering costs and even suspicion that a break-in and theft of at least $6,000 in cash in September 2012 was an inside job.
Ottawa is looking at the trips as junkets.
-Andrea Richer, spokeswoman for Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt
"These are serious allegations and any evidence to support them will be turned over to the police," said Andrea Richer, a spokeswoman in the office of Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt.
"We will not tolerate the abuse of tax dollars. That is why we have asked an independent investigator to look into the allegations and report back to us," Valcourt's spokeswoman said.
Both trips were recorded in a massive dossier compiled by former MANFF flood liaison officer Ted Ducharme over a period of two years.
Ducharme ultimately confronted senior management and the board chair with his suspicions and then turned it over to federal authorities in May. He no longer works at MANFF.
The Free Press has a copy of the dossier.
In an interview Wednesday, Ducharme said neither trip could be justified by financial records at MANFF.
He called the Toronto conference "a big drunk on the taxpayers' dime" and the Vancouver trip a romantic getaway for the CEO and the woman.
In a report Ducharme filed on MANFF letterhead dated Nov. 15, 2012, he recorded that eight senior staff flew to Toronto to take part in a national ground search and rescue competition, where they ultimately placed near the bottom in a skills competition.
The trip lasted "four or five days," he said.
"They were texting us back about sightseeing tours to Niagara Falls, Toronto and other venues. They sent us back pictures of MANFF staff drunk and passed out on the plane home. How do we pay our flood hotels when they are spending evacuee flood funds like it is going out of style?" Ducharme said in his report.
His report also cites complaints that Mini took the woman, also a MANFF worker, on a week-long romantic getaway to Vancouver "under the guise of MANFF business" and they shared a single hotel room for the entire trip.
Meanwhile, Peguis Chief Glenn Hudson, one of two chiefs appointed by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, quit his board position at MANFF last week, citing time constraints.
On Wednesday, he delivered a spirited defence of the agency.
MANFF was set up to train firefighters on First Nations and found itself with the monumental task of running a permanent flood relief agency without proper staff or funding, he said.
"These complaints, these claims that started the whole process? It was our people who are in the best position to operate these services but the whole set-up? It's the system that's fundamentally flawed. It's the federal government that doesn't fund them accordingly. At the end of the day, it's MANFF that's looked at as the scapegoat for the problems," he said Wednesday.
Since spring 2011, when flooding across southern Manitoba forced thousands of First Nations residents from their homes, MANFF has been the agency that registers evacuees and arranges their accommodations. It was set up in the 1990s to train firefighters on First Nations after devastating northern forest fires.
Under memorandums of understanding with Manitoba and Ottawa, MANFF pays the invoices and sends them to the province for reimbursement. Manitoba sends the bills to the federal Department of Public Safety under disaster financial assistance. Public Safety collects its payouts from Aboriginal Affairs. So far, Manitoba has reimbursed MANFF for close to $78 million for the 2011 evacuations.
Agency responds
In a statement from spokesman Jimmy Mac, MANFF insisted late Wednesday both trips were legitimate:
"Further to your email earlier today, I want to ensure that you are aware of the facts relating to the issues you are pursuing in your story for tomorrow's paper.
"Though you did not confirm your source or any documentation you may or may not have, which we respect, you should be aware that there is no basis to the allegations being made. For instance, the event in Toronto was a Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) conference and exercise that was paid for by MANFF out of its program development budget, funded by AANDC.
"This professional development is critical to our communities as it keeps us current and better prepared to deal with all kinds of emergency incidents. Further, it is important to note that flood monies are held in a totally separate account.
"In terms of the trip to Vancouver, that was to attend the ninth annual Canadian Risk and Hazards Network Symposium and the National Platform Roundtable for the Resilient Communities Working Group (RCWG) Strategic Planning Meeting.
"Again, attendance at this event was budgeted for out of program development, funded by AANDC, and was an important opportunity for us to focus on emergency planning and networking with colleagues from across the country.
"Thank you for the opportunity to respond to these false and harmful allegations."

HP Sauce launches first TV ad in five years
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 15 October 2012 11:30AM
HP Sauce is launching its first TV ad in five years, targeting men with a tongue-in-cheek campaign called 'HP Sauce of Manliness' that sets out to reveal "man truths".
The campaign launches today across TV, radio, social media and in-store activation to raise awareness among men aged 25 to 44.
The TV ad by M&C Saatchi discusses the "man truths guide". It includes tips such as "never, ever strike up a conversation about anything other than sport, during sport" and introduces the "manwich", bacon sandwiches made with HP Sauce.
HP Sauce will also have its own feature on TalkSport Radio's weekend breakfast on 27 October. It will be presented by Mark Saggars and Mickey Quinn and run for two months.
The ad features the work of: Joe Miller, copywriter; Tristan Cornelius, art director; Mark Goodwin, creative director; and Ulf Johansson, director. The production company was Smith & Jones.
Lucy Clark, senior brand manager for HP Sauce, said: "As this is the first HP TV advert in five years, we wanted to implement a high impact multi-media campaign around it that's packed full of attitude and grabs the attention of younger male consumers. We think that consumers will relate to the advert and will be reminded that HP Sauce is the perfect condiment to enjoy in a bacon sandwich."
HP's last TV ad by Beattie McGuinness Bungay in 2007 featured a man dreaming of a bacon, egg and HP sandwich, who wakes up to find his girlfriend eating one.
