Use It Or Lose It: The Bread Machine
I have a monster hiding in one of my kitchen cabinets. It made really odd noises the one time I used it, but mostly it just sits there, taking up space and collecting dust, haunting me. It's name is the bread machine. Perhaps you have one of your own?
My bread machine was a hand-me-down, and I knew as soon as I brought it home that I'd made a mistake. But hey, it's hard to turn down free stuff! Turns out, it's even harder to get rid of it.
Currently, the bread machine takes up half of an entire cabinet, of which I have a total of four (not counting the one under the sink). That means this beast of an appliance that I never use is taking up 1/8 of my precious cabinet real estate, and it has to stop.
This weekend, the bread machine monster is getting evicted. It might find a new home or it might not, but either way, it's got to go.
I know some of you love your bread machines, and I'm certainly not trying to convince you otherwise. Maybe you don't even bake bread in it, but you use it all the time to make dough. That's fantastic! If you use it, by all means, keep it.
But I know there are others who share my situation. And if you do, I hope you'll join me in ridding yourselves of the monster this weekend. Have you used your bread machine in the past six months? The past year? If not, it's probably time to let it go.

funny, i got rid of mine a few months ago after not having used it in 2 years. i LOVED it, but let's be realistic - one person living alone does not consume that much bread to make it worth it. now if i want to make bread, i just make the no-knead kind and call it a day. sad, but true.
next i'm thinking about letting the waffle iron go, which is an even harder decision!
Give it one more try! I was so scared of mine until I started actually using it.
If you're really going to give it up this weekend, maybe pass it to someone that wants to give it a go?
I think that IS my bread machine in the pic... it's been in the basement for 5 years!
Please don't just throw it away! Donate it to your local Salvation Army/thrift store/Goodwill, post a "free" listing on Craigslist, leave it at the "good appliances" shed at the dump-- just don't throw it out!
rebecca_f, if that's a round VillaWare V2002 UNO Belgian Waffler, I'll take it off your hands :)
One of those is on my to-get list.
I feel your pain. My husband and I have an espresso maker that hasn't been used in 6 years.
I was thinking of offering mine up on my local FreeCycle list when I move in a couple months.
I want to set up a group of friends so that we share the large and not frequently used appliances: the bread machine, the ice cream maker, the waffle iron, etc. Then each of us will only store one of the items and we can switch when we want to use another.
I gave mine away - I make bread in that old favorite, the Kitchenaide, (and cookies, cakes, etc., etc,) that also has pasta rollers, an ice cream maker, a meat grinder, etc. that I use regularly. The Kitchenaide is versatile enough to merit the countertop footprint - a single-use breadmaker is not.
I use mine every couple of days for kneading bread and the occasional pizza dough. I do live alone, but a 3-cup loaf of bread doesn't last long around here.
While I might not use it every week, I DO use it often enough (and LOVE it enough) to keep it around. In fact, it takes a spot on the counter rather than stored away.
Sciencegeek's idea is good! No bread machine here -- too old to have been taken in by that gadget.
I have the same thing going on with a fondue set. Hand me down, just taking up space!
I always wanted a bread machine. My mom got me one for my birthday a couple years ago. I've used it twice. BUT, despite it taking up some sweet real estate in my cupboards that would be better filled with say, a blender.. I have a feeling that if I only could get myself into the habit of making bread, I'd use it regularly. I mean, it's not like it's hard to make - you just throw all the ingredients in, turn it on, and go about your day.
That's it. I'm using it this weekend!
@alysaaria @mma128 - The bread machine won't be going in the dumpster. It has already found a new home.
We bought a bread machine last September when we moved to a house with a kitchen big enough to store it. We haven't bought any bread since, and it's so simple that even my culinary-challenged husband can use it and produce lovely bread. I'm trying to wean myself off it and do it by hand instead, but I think we'll always keep it so my husband can make bread when I can't be bothered/haven't got time.
sciencegeek, I love your idea of sharing appliances between friends. I'd also love to see small appliance check out at my local library. We have a tool lending library, why not one for kitchen appliances!
Yes, do not throw it out! I have 2 bread machines and I got them both for a song, used. I use it a lot!
Just a note though - some people don't use their bread machine because they do not like what the loaves look like. I only use mine for mixing the dough - for pizza, french bread, regular loaves, cinnamon buns, and all kinds of other stuff. I never bake in there. In fact, my main bread machine does not bake well at all and only mixes. Does not matter to me.
Here is a video I made recently of me using it to make some fantastic oat Bread!
haha, I got mine and used it maybe three times. Then right after that I found I could make dough in my kitchenaid. Then I discovered that I like to work with the dough and shape by hand. I recently sold the bread machine (that had been sitting in my cabinet for about a year) on ebay.
Mine was also a hand-me-down but I sold it at a garage sale a good 4/5 years ago!
Mine was on the Goodwill list after not being used for years. But, just days before I was going to take it in I got an email from King Arthur Flour that had their bread machine recipe for White whole wheat bread. I gave it a try and really liked it. I'm keeping it for use in the summer months when it's too hot to turn on the oven for 'no knead bread'.
@AlisonCJ, I agree with you. Our West Bend Just for Dinner bread machine makes smaller loaves in 45 minutes; so, it's great for our small family. My bread m/c has a new home on the counter to remind us to use it every 2 wks instead of every 2 mos ... its easy, yummy, can be much more healthy than storebought breads ... and less expensive than healthy bread in stores.
This and a deli-stile rotary meat slicer are the only two kitchen gadgets I've managed to avoid buying (so far). I've come close on many occasions, though...
Pursuing a strategy similar to @iowasue seems to be helping.
I have one that I use for making dough occasionally - it does that well. Given the number of bread machines I see in my local thrift store, it seems the BM era is long over.
I love my bread machine. I've only had it for a few months, but I use it at least once a week either for a loaf or to make dough to be baked on a stone. I'm probably going to fire it up tonight for a loaf of brioche.
I have one and haven't used it yet, but have been planning to do so a long time already. Is there a website with many good recipes in one place (I'm a stranger to recipes online still, lol) that some of you might recommend? I prefer dark breads.
I actually enjoy make bread by hand. It's so satisfying to get a perfectly looking bread all done by myself. Kneading is so much fun. I don't think I will ever want to get a bread machine.
I love my bread maker, use it all the time. Kitchenaide's are out of my budget and I can't be bothered with making dough by hand.
I've used mine for pizza dough, bread, sandwich buns and cinnamon buns.
next time there is a cure or a kitchn cure, there should be a swap/trade/give-away thread somewhere so that all of these wonderful kitchen items get put to use by folks that will love them.
@ninakk ... Here is some info on bread recipe resources online ... I hope this helps.
Usually food companies and kitchen appliances list their websites on packaging, offer recipes on their sites & add more often. So, check the back of your bags of flour, yeast packet or bread machine maual. For example, King Arthur flour company has tons of recipes plus their blog has recipe tutorials with photos (see below):
Also, check out www.abreadaday.com. The photos will land your jaw on the floor they look so deeelish! Once you stop ogling the photos, you'll notice the recipes. ;-D I should make this blog one of my home pages to inspire me to bake bread.
Does anyone know the name and website of a breadmaking show that used to be on PBS? I cannot remember the name of it & don't know if it is still on the air.
if you need good bread, fresh bread, and there is none around...then you need a bread machine - it takes much less effort than using an oven, you can just program it and let it work overnight...
also you can try different ingredients, textures...and always know what and how much you put in it - if you are lucky enough to have a good bakery next to you or if you don't eat so much bread, then you don't need it.
Just learn to make bread the 'real' way. I do it once a week and slice and freeze the loaves. It's delicious, straightforward, and actually very little work. It just requires one evening at home. The work for my loaf probably adds up to about 20 mins, just with spaces to wait for rising. Nothing beats it and it takes up no cupboard space (I would have bread pans anyway for other baking).
Bad things about breadmakers:
--Loaves tend to be dense, ugly, and incredibly crusty
--Pans are annoying to clean, nonstick and cramped, with easy-to-lose beater bars
But on the plus side, if you actually use them:
--Overnight preparation makes healthy, fast breakfasts; timers mean the bread is hot and fresh
--Dense loaves stand up to soaking in tea, coffee, or (oops) honey and cream
--Lots of practice can make loaves much less chewy and thick-crusted
--Will probably drive you to bake your own bread by hand eventually, out of sheer frustration
I bought one in 2008 and used it for most of 2009. Now I am on a diet and barely eat bred unless it is low calorie. I don't know what else to use it for anymore except making pizza dough. I don't want to get rid of it but I really don't need it anymore. Thankfully I am moving to a bigger apartment in the summer and I won't feel as bad about keeping it, haha.
I have a Zojirushi machine and love it. I really don't use it often for bread, mostly for pizza dough. It has paid for itself over and over again, and I am so happy with homemade pizza that even the best shop-made pies in town can't do it for me anymore. I can't imagine being without it.
@lifeabundant: Thanks a lot, it really looks delicious! My husband is American and he's dad got us this set from joseph joseph with among others "foreign" measuring cups, so I'm all set for baking in American now, not just Northern European as I'm used to so far. Great!!!
@ninakk: You are welcome. Glad you've gotten what you need for easier baking. Have fun with it!
FYI, I just took a closer look at the last few posts on abreadaday.com that I recommended earlier today ... apparently the bread a day blog posts were only for one year ... & that year is up. But, her archives and posts are still there. That blogger is starting a new blog cld one hundred eggs (see abreadaday.com site for more details). Hopefully, those abreadaday.com recipes will be available for some time.
There's just something about it that I don't like. Sure, it's easy, but it's annoyingly loud, and mine takes forever. Also, I love knowing that I've made artisan bread by myself, and kneading is strangely therapeutic.
My bread maker works great... but i'd trade it for someones espresso maker no problem. I'll ship to you if you ship to me!
message me! email@example.com
My bread machine was a hand-me-down from my mom, and she gave it to me in 2005. I use it all the time (at least once a week!), primarily for dough, although tonight I'm baking a loaf in it for a baseball tailgate tomorrow (hey, I had a lot of other food to prep! gimme a break!). Using it for dough, I utilize it for English muffins, baguettes, Italian loafs, ciabatta, focaccia... It's been an indispensable tool for me! Also, I have a Sharp R930 micro/convection combo so I am able to use it as opposed to the 'big' oven, which allows us to have fresh bread without having to use the energy of a full size oven. Embrace the bread machine!
We use ours once, if not twice, sometimes three times a day!!! Can't imagine life without it!!!
Just say no to these things.
I have one I haven't used for several years. During Snowmagedon I thought about using it but when I got the flours out they were all buggy and I tossed them. Thankfully I'd had them securely encased in plastic bags, in a sealed tub so the rest of my pantry was buggy.
SO now it's either buy a bunch of flours or move it out. I think give it's several year un-use that it's going.
Thanks for the nudge.
I just got rid of mine a few months ago-- donated it. It had been sitting in my cabinet for about 4 years. Since the advent of the no-knead bread technique, it seemed superfluous.
Our bread machine is our weekly pizza dough maker and helps us out with our pretzel dough! We use it at least 4 times a month. Keep it!
I use mine twice a week to make a rye and carraway loaf, which I can't get fresh at my local shops. I've just bought a new pizza baking dish so it will also be making pizza dough as well. I never run out of fresh bread. I need mine. The monsters in my cupboard are a sandwich maker and a juicer. As I've masses of cupboard space, I don't need to throw them away. I've just gone through all my kitchen cupboards and cleaned them and all the junky drawers are straightened. Now for the manchester cupboards. It's autumn here in Australia, so I'd better see what the blankets and duvets have been up to.

Product Review: Zum Laundry Soap by Indigo Wild
Test Lab
Name: Zum Clean Aromatherapy Laundry Soap (Sweet Orange)
Price: $21
Rating: Strong Recommend*
Although we've talked about great eco-friendly laundry options in the past, but I've never really been a convert to any one in particular... until now. I've tried them all and haven't found one that I truly preferred over the others. Recently, a local Kansas City company wooed me with their soap that makes even the most overly perfumed laundromat smell like you're hanging out in an orange tree.
For the time being I'm making a trip to the laundromat twice a month, and while I greatly enjoy washing everything I own in less than two hours, I don't appreciate the lingering smells that come home with my clothes. Where I live in Kansas City, Kansas our water isn't the greatest (which I'll share with you in another post), and it physically leaves a smell on your "clean" clothes. Because of this, most families at the laundromat use highly perfumed soaps and fabric softeners to mask it. Many green cleansers have wonderful smells themselves, but aren't enough to conquer the sunny-meadow-midnight-breeze-sport-peach-sunrise concoction that's already going on in the washing machines at my disposal.
Although I'm not looking for something so strong that when I walk in a room heads turn because I'm upwind from the patrons around me, I have been looking for a true, clean smell that conquers our bad water and other scents picked up at the laundromat... and of course gets my clothes clean as well.
A local company Indigo Wild has been releasing their Zum products across the metro for quite sometime, and for whatever reason I've never picked them up until this past weekend. A quick run into the grocery store and I was armed with Sweet Orange Laundry Soap. Two hours later I had a mini van (yeah, it's a sweet ride, be jealous) filled to the brim with pure orange loveliness that didn't smell purfumey... just lovely.
Once I returned home I had a more thorough opportunity to examine the clothes I had just feverishly washed. They were clean, smelled great and have made my closet and bedroom resemble an orange grove ever since (in that good way, not that gaggy-car-air-freshener kind of way).
Notes On Usage:
The 64oz. bottle purchased will do 64 loads in a HE washer and 32 in a top loading model. You can adjust the amount per load size, though when I used the double and triple loaders at the laundromat, I didn't completely double or triple the amount of soap I used (meaning it will go even further than 64 loads... sweet).
Because of its ingredients it acts as a natural fabric softener, making it perfect for those who line dry, or people like me who when winter rolls around get zapped by static in the dryer to the point of tears (especially at the laundromat).
I washed whites, darks, and delicates all with the same bottle and I'm assuming that because of its earth-friendly ingredient list it will also take on baby clothes like a champ. Overall, I was ridiculously happy with the purchase and am excited to try out their other scents— (Frankincense-Myrrh, Lavender, Eucalyptus-Citrus and Patchouli).
You can order Zum cleaning products (they carry liquid and bar soaps as well as a plethora of other skin care products) online or in a store near you. If you're looking for more information on Indigo Wild, I suggest reading their company page. It's as entertaining as it is informational and makes you feel great about supporting a company that handmakes, hand pours and hand bottles all of their products!

I can't get their website to load.
This seems great, but as a budget conscious DIY-er, I would love to know how to make this myself! I've looked around for laundry soap recipes, but haven't seen any that call for glycerin or coconut oil.
Yowzer. I'll say it: $21 is probably why you haven't picked up their bottle before. It would certainly be a deterrant for me.
Very convincing article and I am intrigued, though. If I'm feeling splurgy and they sell it here, I may pick up a bottle. It's great that it's only 1 oz. per HE load. I like that a lot.
Yes Jilly, For $21 you get laundry soap, and unbelievable aromatherapy...with no need for fabric softner.
Still using liquid soap?
$21 doesn't seem bad for 64 loads (33 cents per load) - especially for something completely natural. i just ordered some, can't wait to try it out!
I love this laundry soap!! It's even better when you can find it on sale -- Whole Foods puts it half off occasionally!!!!!!
I live in a tiny apartment and just invested in a portable washer. We don't have the proper hook-ups, space or money to also get a dryer, so I had decided to just line/rack dry everything. I had been so disappointed with stuff clothes I nearly regretted my decision in buying this otherwise wonderful washer. Ran across your review of Zum and decided to try them out by buying a three-pack of their laundry soap samplers. They sent me some extra stuff with my order because the representative I spoke to bemoaned the fact that my shipping was costing more than my order. They're fantastic folks at this place! Three loads in with the laundry soap and I'm a complete convert. The $21 a bottle is absolutely worth it if you line dry ... my jeans are more supple right now than they were when I had access to a dryer. And that's WITHOUT fabric softener or any vinegar in the rinse cycle. Fantastic product and fantastic folks at Zum.

My bun goes bananas for bananas
posted 5 years ago
my bun goes bananas for bananas! she will practically push me over (well, to the best of her little bun ability) in order to get some. she likes bananas more then carrots.
Pros: healthy
Cons: too much will give a tummy ache

My Rabbits love the occasional chunk of Banana ,and will come looking for me if they smell it in the air.
Apparently,Bunnies have a sweet tooth for they love both Grapes and Bananas.
These are good as an occasional treat,but not on a daily basis as these fruits are high in sugar.
Fed in moderation,the Rabbits will love you for their occasional chunk of sweetness.
Pros: healthy treat easy to obtain rabbits love it
Cons: none as long as you give in small occasional bite size treats

Children's cancer, nephrology, urology and neurology/neurosurgery programs in nation's top ten.
Today, U.S. News & World Report ranked Seattle Children's Hospital among the nation's top children's hospitals for the 20th consecutive year. The results were announced as part of the U.S. News annual guidebook, Best Hospitals 2013, which will be available in August.
Children's ranked 6th in this year's honor roll – meaning it's the 6th highest ranked children's hospital in the nation – the hospital's highest ranking yet. Last year Children's ranked 7th.
Children's was also 4th in the country for its nephrology program, 5th for urology, 7th for cancer and 8th for neurology/neurosurgery. Other Children's programs receiving top recognition by U.S. News included cardiology/heart surgery, pulmonary, orthopedics, neonatology, gastroenterology and diabetes/endocrinology.
"Our rankings as a top children's hospital by U.S. News for the past two decades, are due to the remarkable work of our courageous physicians, nurses, researchers, and staff, as well as the patient families who work in partnership with us," said Thomas Hansen, MD, CEO at Children's. "Together with the support of our community, we will continue to work towards improving treatment outcomes, discovering new cures, and caring for every child who needs us."
This year, U.S. News surveyed 178 pediatric centers to obtain hard data such as availability of key resources and ability to prevent complications and infections. The hospital survey made up 75 percent of the rankings. A separate reputational survey in which 1,500 pediatric specialists—150 in each specialty—were asked where they would send the sickest children in their specialty made up the remaining 25 percent.
Supporting materials:
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

A divorced adman for a toy company finds himself in quite a jam after a rooftop mishap on Christmas Eve sees him become Santa Claus, much to the delight of his son Charlie, and the absolute befuddlement/horror of his co-workers, ex-wife and her new man, a skeptical psychologist.

The Santa Clause is a fun kids movie with a few jokes adults will enjoy, its not really a Christmas classic but its fun many people can enjoy.
September 25, 2011
As a Christmas film, The Santa Clause for me anyways didn't work. I felt that the film was a dud. Of all the Christmas themed movies, The Santa Clause is one of the worst. I feel that the film hasn't aged well, and though it's a great film to watch as a kid, later on you realize ... read more

Critic Reviews
This is Allen's movie debut, and it's easy to see why his show is a ratings smash. There's an effortless quality to his humor, but it's also got a quietly urgent edge to it. Full Review
I was surprised to find The Santa Clause rather easier to take than anticipated. Full Review
Like most modern fantasies, The Santa Clause isn't very clear about the rules governing Scott's new powers. Full Review
Tim Allen's talent for dry regular-guyness fails to kindle Disney's sappy big-screen Yule log. Full Review
You can get the same emotional and imaginative kick staying home and rereading your Christmas cards. Full Review
All of the film's technical and creative contributions are top-notch, but as it should be, it's the people who win us over. Full Review
A feeble attempt to revive the tradition of heartwarming family seasonal comedies that gave us Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life, The Bells of St. Mary's and many others. Full Review
This is a hip, likable spin on the seasonal icon told with a deft mixture of comedy and sentimentality. Full Review
The movie steers a shrewd course between bracing cynicism and old-fashioned make-believe. Full Review
Home Improvement fans will find plenty of laughs and may even consent to going to this movie with their little brothers and sisters. Full Review

Soggy clean-up after tornado injures 63 in Mississippi
Hey, isn't this one of the states whose congressmen voted against aid to Hurricane Sandy victims??
More importantly this is the state that was hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina – New Orleans didn't have anything on us. Instead of houses just being flooded, they were completely blown away. In many cases, only slabs were left. However, we don't need the government to bail us out every time a disaster comes our way.
There were other issues attached to that bill than just Hurricane Sandy victims. Nobody understands disaster more than those of us on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We also understand that no one can help us better than we can help ourselves. I support congressman Palazzo because he wasn't willing to compromise the integrity of our country's debt crisis. Don't get me wrong, federal aid is nice – but not at the expense of our nations well being. You should really have a problem with the politicians who decided to take advantage of people needing aid and using their misfortune to push their agendas through.
I'm sure the families of the over 1,500 who died in Louisiana would trade their intact houses, which are few, for the lives of their dead loved ones. You can put a price on houses, but not on human beings. This is not a contest, but if it was, which would have the most impact, dead bodies, or destroyed houses?
God smites the climate-change deniers–again.

Ummm… no. Does that mean that God is smiting the climate-change whiners in New York with hurricanes, storms, and blizzards? No. this is just weather. Besides "global warming" is what stopped the ice age… hmmm, must have been all of those Cro-magnon tribes and their campfires.

I hardly ever watch TNA, because of the terrible storylines and shocking bookings. But lately it's been pretty interesting, I've really taken a liking to Bobby Roode, he rubbed off onto me as a very talented cat in the ring and on the mic. But as of lately it seemed that his title reign was starting to get a little stale. Then Destination X came and Roode's title changed hands to Austin Aries, & it's great that TNA is pushing talent that deserves to be pushed. Although it seems like TNA is trying to cement Aries into WWE's own Daniel Bryan, not that having an Indy star on top is a bad thing. Could it be a title change to rope in the hardcore fans well whatever they're doing, they're definitely doing it right. And it's weird to say but I'm looking forward to Impact this week.
I'm not going to be watching anything where Bobby Roode will be rubbing off onto me, sorry.
Regardless of how bad TNA is, I'm really happy for Austin Aries.

A traditional Christmas?
This year we celebrated 20 years of life as OPX. We share this anniversary with the first text message, which was sent on the 3rd December 1992. In twenty years it's saved lives, ruined romances and driven strict grammarians to distraction. Now, LOL for everyone other than Prime Ministers, texting is starting to decline, under threat from newer, smarter options.
Not all technology seems to be under threat from data though. Amazon says sales of fountain pens so far this year have doubled compared with the same period in 2011. They're four times higher than 2010.
There is something similar happening here. For every 100 hardbacks Amazon sell, 114 ebooks are downloaded. We're surprised the margin isn't greater, but as so often happens, the figures aren't the whole story.
In an interview with the BBC, Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, said: "When people buy a Kindle they read four times as much as they did before they bought the Kindle." He added: "But they don't stop buying paper books. Kindle owners read four times as much, but they continue to buy both types of books."
Alongside the SMS inspired death of handwriting and conversation, many want to place the death of reading at Kindle's door. We have a horrible feeling such commentators mean 'the kind of reading of which we approve'. As JK Rowling found out when highbrow critics decried millions of kids reading Harry Potter books on the grounds they lacked literary merit, there seems to be a lot of missing the point going round.
We were asked recently in a workshop if tone of voice principles should change for twitter. Such principles are based on brand values, helping bring them to life in language and personality. Do our values change because circumstances do? Do our principles go out the window because the medium is different or challenging?
Some things are better said, or written or read on paper, some better suited to screens. Some messages measured, others instant. Our task for brands and their tone voice is to give them the tools and flexibility to be consistently effective in all of them.
Which - to go back to the question asked in our workshop - means this. In the face of change, some things stay the same. Knowing who we are, what we believe in, why we're in business, the kind of people we are. The value of knowing these things doesn't change. If you like, it's why we still buy fountain pens.
And that first SMS? It simply said: 'Merry Christmas.'

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I agree with the first paragraph especially. I think a majority of the burnout is how we, as players, have reacted to the game itself. Things started getting convenient, and we pushed for more convenience. Dungeon Finder has made the game impersonal, and heirlooms have made leveling more of a inconvenience to reaching level cap instead of an adventure.
The burnout I'm seeing has to do with difficulty. Not that the current raid content is particularly hard, it's just not easy and thoughtless anymore. My guildmates have become complacent and refuse to learn how to best play their classes. Instead of practicing and gearing in heroics on their mains, they level more alts and perpetuate the cycle. Now we have a guild full of people who constantly want to change their mains because their main's class "sucks" or "got nerfed."
The evolution of the game is constantly making things more convenient, and as a result a lot of players have gotten lazy. With the massive changes in playstyle since Cataclysm, people are tending to get frustrated instead of adapting and pushing through.
Personally, I'm having the most fun with the game right now, and I've been playing continuously since launch. It's a game. If you're not having fun, you should probably take a step back and weigh your options.

The one truly good thing about Lincoln is that it's inspiring some great articles and opinion pieces examining Abraham Lincoln's life and legacy, the Civil War, and slavery. There was an excellent article in the NYT that pointed out how the movie never touches on the efforts of African Americans to free themselves. And here are excerpts from another thoughtful critique of Lincoln by Corey Robin (with a few parts I bolded):
Lincoln is most decidedly not a movie about Lincoln. The main character of the film is the 13th Amendment…The entire plot revolves around its passage. And what's most fascinating about the film is that Spielberg, and his screenwriter Tony Kushner, shows that emancipation wasn't the product of a lone heroic effort by a saintly Lincoln; instead, it depicts emancipation as a collective endeavor.
The film in fact does a remarkable job…of decentering Lincoln from his traditional role in our national narrative. Lincoln gets surprisingly little air time in the film. Many scenes are littered with the hapless attempts of three lowlifes…to get lame-duck Democrats on board with the 13th Amendment through promises of sinecures and patronage. In terms of getting the Amendment passed, Lincoln's role is rather small. He only intervenes successfully in getting two or three votes.
[…]For all the decentering of Lincoln, for all the inclusion of multiple voices, the film studiously keeps black people in the audience—literally in the gallery, in one of the closing scenes, or in the bedroom or in the foyer, waiting, watching, attending. Black characters are almost always either looking up at their saviors (even allowing for the fact that Lincoln was tall) or wistfully after their saviors, as the latter depart for the halls of power. It's true that the film opens with black soldiers telling Lincoln all they have done in the war, and telling him all that he should still do. Mary Todd Lincoln's black servant speaks up every once in a while, as do some other servants. But that's pretty much it.
What is so odd about this film…is that it really is trying to show that abolition is the democratic project of the 19th century. Democratic in it objective (making slaves free and ultimately equal) and democratic in its execution, involving a great many men beyond Lincoln himself, and a great many lowly men at that. But it is a white man's democracy. In the film, in fact, Lincoln tells his colleagues: "The fate of human dignity is in our hands." Our hands. Not theirs.
The inclusion of so many white players makes the exclusion of black players all the more inexplicable—and inexcusable. It's just a weird throwback to the pre-Civil Rights era except that emancipation is now depicted as a good thing—just so long as it is white people who are doing the emancipating.
Robin also points out that Steven Spielberg was initially thinking about doing a movie focusing on the relationship between Lincoln and Frederick Douglass (why hasn't there been an epic Douglass biopic instead of yet another Lincoln movie?). Additionally, Spielberg used Team of Rivals as source material, but chose to focus on 3 pages in the book—3 pages that happened to not discuss the role of black people in abolition efforts. All in all, the movie didn't have to sideline black people in showing how the 13th Amendment was passed—that was a choice.
As for Kushner, who wrote the screenplay for Lincoln, he seems to hold some seriously messed up views about Reconstruction. In an interview with NPR, he said:
The inability to forgive and to reconcile with the South in a really decent and humane way, without any question, was one of the causes of the kind of resentment and perpetuation of alienation and bitterness that led to the quote-unquote 'noble cause,' and the rise of the Klan and Southern self-protection societies. The abuse of the South after they were defeated was a catastrophe, and helped lead to just unimaginable, untellable human suffering.
This is a really backwards, revisionist, white supremacist view of Reconstruction that focuses on the supposed plight of white southerners at the hands of a vengeful north. Please remember that many Reconstruction laws were passed specifically to protect freedmen and integrate them into society. Despite what some white southerners would have you believe, Reconstruction wasn't entirely an effort by the north to humiliate and punish the south.
Kushner's references to "the abuse of the South" and the rise of "self-protection societies" (what a fucking euphemism!) like the KKK has its roots in a white supremacist historical school of thought. Dunning argued that freedmen were incapable of participating in government and that white southern terrorism and barbarity to black southerners (e.g. the KKK) was a somehow justifiable or understandable reaction to Reconstruction.
Here's historian Eric Foner's criticism of the Dunning School:
Their account of the era rested, as one member of the Dunning school put it, on the assumption of "negro incapacity." Finding it impossible to believe that blacks could ever be independent actors on the stage of history, with their own aspirations and motivations, Dunning, et al. portrayed African Americans either as "children", ignorant dupes manipulated by unscrupulous whites, or as savages, their primal passions unleashed by the end of slavery.
When you get down to it, white southerners thought that not being allowed to prevent African Americans from exercising their newly won civil and political rights was a form of 'abuse' by the North. They were afraid of blacks gaining any measure of political and economic power. So the KKK and similar groups arose to terrorize black southerners into docility. As with the Confederacy itself, there's no way to spin the KKK as anything but an expression of white supremacy. And if you do hear such spinning, watch out.
So don't believe revisionist depictions of Reconstruction as a horrible, terrible thing. Despite the corruption and inefficiency, Reconstruction was overall better than the alternative. Remember that when Reconstruction ended, white southerners immediately passed laws that basically nullified the Fifteenth Amendment and kept black southerners politically and economically marginalized for decades, essentially ensuring that blacks would remain a source of cheap labor. When you hear Kushner refer to groups like the Ku Klux Klan as 'self-protection' societies, remember what those societies were actually protecting: white supremacy and domestic terrorism.
What's important about Kushner's reference to the Dunning account of Reconstruction is that it highlights the main problem with Lincoln: it suggests black incapability. It doesn't matter the film's depiction of whites as saviors and blacks as hapless victims was created without malicious intent—it still upholds a white supremacist historical narrative.
Lincoln is what happens when you have white people in charge of the story—white faces and white voices are centered and a white supremacist view of history is put forward. This is particularly problematic because the white people in charge are prominent artists like Spielberg and Tony Kushner and the story they tell will be viewed by millions of people, many of whom are unaware that the abolition of slavery is a bigger, more complex, and far more interesting tale than whites freeing blacks. There's nothing artistically challenging or novel about yet another narrative in which whites save hapless, nameless people of color.
YES. I loved watching Lincoln but the entire time I was thinking "white savior white saviors omg this is problematic." Also thinking about how the whole prisons-as-substitutes-for-plantations kind of thing happened afterwards and how that was horrible and how people never talk about it (then thinking about the Ginny-Weasley-crush because she was the one who told me about that part of American history). And generally just crying a lot because it is a sad, good movie. (obvi it's part of my privilege that I was able to enjoy watching the movie while recognizing that it was racist.)

Leaders consider layoffs at Issaquah City Hall
November 22, 2011
Leaders could trim the workforce at City Hall and merge some services as municipal government retools in response to recommendations from a consultant.
The recommendations, in a report released Nov. 18, call for Mayor Ava Frisinger and other leaders to restructure how city government handles development and planning.
The report is meant to offer a roadmap to streamline city services and improve communication across municipal departments. Changes stemming from the study could occur early next year. Some require City Council approval; Frisinger can enact others.
Developer requests city funding to complete Issaquah Highlands retail center
November 17, 2011
NEW — 9 p.m. Nov. 17, 2011
In order to build more stores in the Issaquah Highlands — and transform 14 acres into a cinema, shops, restaurants and more than 1,700 parking stalls — the developer behind the project said about $3 million in city funds is needed.
The developer, Regency Centers, said the highlands project needs the dollars to complete roadwork and other infrastructure.
Florida-based Regency Centers and highlands developer Port Blakely Communities announced a deal in July to sell the land for a retail center, but before Regency Centers completes the deal, company planners asked city leaders to commit public dollars to the project.
Port Blakely is also expected to contribute about $1 million to the project after shifting dollars from other commitments, such as a planned bus route expansion to the highlands.
City Council decides against property tax increase for 2012
November 15, 2011
The still-struggling economy prompted the City Council to decline to increase the property tax rate for 2012.
In a Nov. 7 decision, council members decided against a possible increase and directed city staffers to prepare legislation to set the rate for next year. The council last increased the property tax rate in 2007 amid a stronger economy.
The unanimous decision is meant to hold the property tax rate at the 2008 level — $1.38 per $1,000 in assessed value. The council is poised to set the property tax rate at a Nov. 21 meeting.
The council adhered to a recommendation from Mayor Ava Frisinger not to increase the property tax rate for 2012.
"The fact that the council has not raised property tax for what — if this motion passes — for five years is a reflection of the fact that we understand that a lot of our citizens are having a lot of difficult times during the economic downturn," Councilman Fred Butler said before the decision.
City offers 2012 arts grants to local organizations
September 9, 2011
NEW — 8 a.m. Sept. 9, 2011
The city Arts Commission seeks cultural organizations and programs for the latest round of arts grants.
The city offers grants each year for organizations to present performances and programs in public spaces and local schools.
Only projects inside Issaquah city limits or at Issaquah School District campuses qualify for funding. The deadline to apply for the grants is Nov. 4.
Commissioners awarded about $120,000 to 21 projects. The lineup included ArtWalk, Issaquah Farmers Market entertainment, Concerts on the Green, Shakespeare on the Green, performances at local schools and programs to help troubled youths.
Issaquah City Council balks at joining regional fire authority
August 2, 2011
Issaquah is all but certain not to participate in a regional fire authority, due to concerns about higher property tax bills for city homeowners.
On July 26, City Council members indicated Issaquah should not proceed in the formation of a regional fire authority. Unlike Eastside Fire & Rescue, a regional fire authority could tax residents to fund emergency services.
Officials from Issaquah and rural fire districts formed a planning group in late 2009 to consider a regional fire authority in the EFR service area.
"We did that so we were at the table and could participate in the discussion as we went through a process," Councilman Fred Butler said at a Committee-of-the-Whole Council meeting. "We're at the point right now where, I think, it's fairly obvious which way we want to go. It's not to our benefit or to our citizens' benefit."
Contributions from member cities and fire districts fund EFR. Issaquah contributes about $5 million per year to the agency.
Issaquah homeowners contribute 76 cents per $1,000 in assessed value for emergency services under the existing arrangement.
Issaquah City Council sets goals for 2012
June 21, 2011
Less than a month after gathering to brainstorm ideas for the coming year, City Council members set ambitious goals for 2012, including possible solutions for cash-strapped Lake Sammamish State Park, a more citizen-friendly budgeting process and a commission to address economic vitality.
The council OK'd the list June 6, and sent Mayor Ava Frisinger priorities for the months ahead. The decision represents the initial step in the process to shape the 2012 municipal budget. The unanimous decision came after council members met for a rare Saturday meeting May 14 to outline goals.
"In my view, these are a balanced set of goals that cover just about every aspect of city government," Councilman Fred Butler said during the June 6 meeting. "There's something in there for everyone."
The list calls for the city to join with the DownTown Issaquah Association and the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce to determine options for a structured parking study. Issues related to downtown parking — a headache during ArtWalk, Fenders on Front Street and other summertime events — emerged as the top priority at the retreat.
Mayor predicts 'momentous year' in State of the City speech
February 15, 2011
City is poised to complete long-term projects in coming months
Mayor Ava Frisinger offered a bold prediction for the year in the State of the City address last week.
"2011 will undoubtedly be a momentous year for Issaquah — one that will not only reinforce the importance of our day-to-day business, but will also celebrate our larger accomplishments," she said during the Feb. 7 address.
The can-do speech highlighted projects scheduled for completion in the months ahead, including the city-coordinated zHome townhouses and a landmark effort to outline redevelopment in the 915-acre business district.
"2010 sets high expectations for this year, and I am confident that we can meet them," Frisinger said. "Our list of goals for 2011 is extremely impressive and yet very feasible."
The annual address — like the spring City Council goal-setting session and the autumn budget announcement — helps city leaders outline priorities for the public.
Frisinger used the speech to shine a spotlight on long-term efforts on track to mark milestones.
The city is poised to complete the long-running effort to preserve forested Park Pointe on Tiger Mountain soon.

NEW — 10 a.m. Feb. 8, 2011
Mayor Ava Frisinger offered a bold prediction for the months ahead in the State of the City address Monday night.
"2011 will undoubtedly be a momentous year for Issaquah — one that will not only reinforce the importance of our day-to-day business, but will also celebrate our larger accomplishments, " she said.
The can-do speech highlighted projects scheduled for completion in the months ahead, including the city-coordinated zHome townhouses and a landmark effort to outline redevelopment in the 915-acre business district.
Frisinger used the annual address to shine a spotlight on other long-term efforts.
City Council adopts lean budget for 2011
December 28, 2010
City Council members adopted the 2011 municipal budget in a unanimous decision Dec. 20.
The council endorsed the lean spending plan after months of deliberations. The budget did not include property tax or rate hikes. Read more
2011 municipal budget clears City Council hurdle
December 14, 2010
The trim 2011 city budget continues to inch closer from plan to reality.
City Council members offered another round of comments about the spending plan, and then — in a unanimous decision Dec. 6 — directed city staffers to prepare the formal budget ordinance for adoption. The council is scheduled to adopt the budget Dec. 20.
Discussion centered on the general fund — the $30.4 million budget piece used to fund police and fire services, community development and planning, parks and recreation, and municipal government.
"It's a $30 million budget for the city of Issaquah, and I think people assume there's a lot of money flying around," Councilman Mark Mullet said. "When you're actually in the meetings, it's very impressive how everything does get analyzed down to that last decimal point." Read more

The air was cool against my skin. But it felt refreshing i felt alive. I clung to Seth as he picked up the speed. Everything felt right . In place like it was supposed to be. I laid my head on Seth's back letting the engine's vibrations come through me. I closed my eyes listening to the pur's of the bike. I didnt realize i had fallen asleep until i felt Seth's warmth enclose around me. I opened my eyes slowly. I was met with a sleepy smile. "Sleep Beautiful." He whispered against my lips. I smiled pressing my lips slightly to his letting it lull me to sleep. I opened my eyes my body stiff and cold. I sat up looking around the dim room. I stood up walking out of my room. I walked to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was glowing. I smiled feeling the glow beneath my skin engulf me. I touched my face slowly remembering how Seth did the same. I brought it to my lips slowly remembering the warmth of his lips pressing agaisnt mine. I blushed remembering how i felt as he pulled me close. The way his breathe rose when i knew it was right. The moment where we so intertwined in our love it felt like i was floating. The way the fear disappeared as i saw his love reflecting mine. I opened my eyes looking at myself. I smiled never wanting to forget the feeling. Never wanting to feel uncomplete again. I walked out of the bathroom. I stopped in front of my mother's room. I opened the door slowly. She was sitting up. She turned to me looking at me with an emotion i hadnt seen in a very long time. She didnt say anything but i could feel it. I could feel the change. Something was going on. Something strange. My mother twitched her lips forming not quite a smile but not a grimace. It scared me but also gave me hope. I didnt say anything. Not knowing what to say. I closed my mother's door her eyes never leaving mine. I walked downstairs to the kitchen. I wanted Seth. No needed him. I took out pans. I grabbed the recipe book looking for something quick. I started reading the directions. It eased me. I got done cooking chicken parmesan. I sat out at the table eating slowly. When i finished i stood up washing everything. When i finished i went to my room grabbing Animal farm. I went back downstairs deciding to sit on the porch. I walked out sitting on one of the chairs. The chair creaked under my weight but it was comftable. I soon got lost in the book. When it started getting cold i decided it was time to go in. I stood up stretching. I walked to the front door. "Janaila?" I heard a deep voice say. I turned slowly frightened. I was met with a face i hadnt seen in a while. "Naivei ?" I said quietly. He smiled a smile that matched mine perfectly. My eyes stung and cold tears slid slowly down my face. "Hi baby." He said walking to me. "Dont come any closer." I said my voice still cold. He stopped hurt coming over him. "Janaila , I'm your father." He said hurt in his voice. I laughed it emotionless. "Who are you ?' My father said as i felt warm hands wrap around me. "Seth Clearwater who are you ?" Seth said his voice defensive mixed with protective. My father took a step back. "Seth meet Naivei my father." I said my tone cold.
An -

Best Guitarists Ever « see full list
You have to give it to this guy. Very underrated as a guitar player, it's a shame his public image over-shadows the incredible talent this man possesses. Dig a little, check this guy's guitar playing, a little bit of Santana, a lil' bit of Hendrix, with his own stamp on it! Could play any style with anyone and still come out on top! You should also hear this guy play piano too!
Prince is by far the most versatile of this group of guitar players... his rhythm guitar playing, especially the funk, is out of this world. To be honest, all of James Brown's guitar players could learn a thing or ten from little Princey. At the same time though, when it comes to blues and rock and roll, Prince is simply a monster - listen to the end of Let's Go Crazy or better yet, go see the midget live. That is where he really turns it up and tears up his fretboard. More than anything, Prince plays guitar like Santana. He's extremely emotive in his playing and loves to hold long notes! Brilliant in so many ways... Prince is probaly your father - go ask Eric Clapton.
The most underrated guitarist in our history. He is the perfect all-round player! From hardrock to pop and blues to jazz, he created his own style that is absolutely unique. Ask Clapton (one of his favourite player) ; Santana and Miles Davis. You must see him live on stage to feel his vibrations and his guitar skills. He played everything he wants to!
Prince's guitar playing never seems to come across that well in his production / mixing but see him play that thing live and you can sure enough tell he is it - check out the guitar solo at the 2004 Hall of Fame all star performance of While my guitar gently weeps.
Prince's guitar playing is so unique because of the melody and texture in the notes he plays. He is not a technical freak, or a speed shredder, but like Coltrane, when you peel away at his music, the underlying notes are achingly gorgeous. He is part R&B funkster, part rock god, part swooning seducer. No other artist/guitarist that I can think of has that diversity, making him a truly special artist. Unfortunately, the casual fan is not at all familiar with his best work, nor will they invest the time and listens to "uncover" the underlying genius. Lastly it does not hurt that he has mad swag on stage.
I've seen Prince 3 times. I play guitar myself. There's no one on Earth right now that can play the guitar like Prince. The best guitarists in the world will tell you that. Don't be afraid to like Prince because of his old pop image. The guy is pure genius.
I agree with every word said, he is a master player of all genres. Watch him live, then you will understand his true genius. He covers all genres superbly, my favorite is his jazz. YouTube The Ride, or purple house, these songs give me the chills when he plays them. I would say he is better than Hendrix due to his versatility.
I think Prince is going to go down in history as one of the greatest musicians of all time. He's a multi-instrumentalist, and annoyingly good at every instrument he picks up. I think he can play just about anything on the guitar and make it look like child's play. It comes effortlessly to him and yet, he always plays with soul and passion; it's never just about speed.
This man is an amazing artist in many ways he writes produces & does it all. He is also the master of more instruments then any other artist on this page. He is a modern day Mozart & has taken what Hendrix does with the guitar & taken it to the next level he is a true master of so many instruments & a Rock and Roll Hall Of Famer & in my opinion the best guitar player on this list.
I've never had a real interest in the guitar, but whenever I see Prince play I am totally mesmerized. I have no real knowledge of the guitar, but I know what I like, and I like the way Prince's talent grabs my attention and draws me in. I feel very confident that I called this one right!
Those of you that think he is #13 all-tim are out of your minds. He is by far the best guitarist to ever walk the planet! Hands down! Go into his library of music and you will find that there is no style of music that he can't play and has mastered. Prince is in a category all to himself. I suggest you all do your homework. Prince is the greatest EVER!
Prince is often overlooked due to the fact that he can do so many other things so well, such as write, sing, put on a great show, and play several other instruments.If you were to sit down and really look at his body of guitar work (live & studio), you'll find that Prince deserves to be in the top 10, he plays several styles of music extremely well.
There is a lot to say for a guy who invents an entirely new style of guitar playing the way Eddie [Van Halen] did. He is fantastic and that is no joke. That being said, Prince is simply other-worldly and has far more breadth in his virtuosity than Eddie.
Definitely the best!
Inventive, always! So creative.
Never the same show twice. That's why he is so bootlegged. He can play funk, rock, metal, bossa, jazz, country... Steve Vai said Prince is the greatest guitarist of all time. And sure I agree.

Never the same show twice. That's why he is so bootlegged. He can play funk, rock, metal, bossa, jazz, country... Steve Vai said Prince is the greatest guitarist of all time. And sure I agree.
Very versatile and able to transfer his emotions to the listener through his guitar. He can definitely play anything thrown at him and add his own little flavor to it, but 'unfortunately' on record you only get to hear whatever parts he thought were appropriate for his style. However, when playing live, he'll give you a glimpse of his virtuosity when doing covers or blending in parts of songs written by someone else... And no one can make a guitar 'cry' the way Prince does. Definitely top 20 material if you ask me.
You think you have to be a rock star to be the best guitarist? Prince is the best ever. Please, even if you aren't a fan - go see him live. You will change your mind. The man is an absolute monster guitarist. I've seen most of them but never have I been moved to goose bumps like when watching this guy play. The best ever and the top guys in the business acknowledge this too.
This guy is complete badass, pure and simple. I play and study guitar, and his range of genres is incredible, and he plays them all fantastically well. He has an original sound also that combines wonderful note selection, creative patterns, and perfect tone and pitch.
This guy deserves to be in the top 5. He puts most of the guitarists here to shame.
This guy deserves to be in the top 5. He puts most of the guitarists here to shame.
No question, the man is a musical genius and his guitar playing is absolutely up there with the best. You really have to see live performances to grasp how good he really is as his studio work just isn't the same.
Quite possibly the most underrated guitarist in the past 30 years. He's tremendously talented and technical. His stage presence in live performances is truly royal. Only guitarist better was Hendrix, who Prince idolized and emulated - and now the student becomes the master.
The funny thing is that when you compare Prince to anyone its really not fair for the other person. He is the best guitar player because he has been given a gift unparalleled by anyone who has ever picked up an instrument. Music is ALL he does.
Although a lot of his music isn't to my liking - they key is not to listen to Prince's music with your eyes.
Although a lot of his music isn't to my liking - they key is not to listen to Prince's music with your eyes.
Prince is a guitar juggernaut. His songwriting and arrangement experience gives him incredible insight into what the guitar should do in a particular song... and the man has soul for days!
He must be at number 2 under jimi hendrix. I am a big fun of the artist in this list and I probable got about 75% of their work either albums live dvds and bootlegs too, and belive me I just hear prince the last ten years, and I m telling you guys there is no one like him. Trust me and check out do not vote if you haven't hear the others too. Its not fair.
Has he reached his billionth killer funk lick yet? Extraordinary tone. So distinctive. One of the very few on this list who isn't afraid to hold a little back. Less is so often more with prince. His guitar work is the tease. Wow.
Hugely over-looked as a guitarist, his versatility is his strength, be it rock, blues, jazz, funk, he riffs and solos with the best of them then the next moment is a technical virtuoso. Don't discount him because it isn't ALL he's capable of.
extremely good musician, although I wouldnt say he is the best, hes definately up there. Yea the guy is strange, and his singles are usually awful. But his stage shows and guitar playing, are unique. Listen to the progressions in purple rain, wonderful!

In an effort to improve reliability, reduce costs, lighten cars for improved mileage, and ease diagnostics, new-car manufacturers are radically redesigning their electrical systems, embracing a technology known as multiplexing. Thanks to solid-state microcontrollers and logic devices, wiring engineers are able to design a multiplexed system wherein multiple analog or digital inputs are combined (or multiplexed) at one master logic center, transmitted over one pair of wires to a remote module, and then distributed (or demultiplexed) for output to various electrically operated devices. The new ISIS (Intelligent Silicon Integrated System) brings the same technology to the aftermarket for hot rodders and racers alike in a user-friendly, reprogrammable package.
Why Multiplexing?
Fuel injection, electric fuel pumps, electric fans, cruise control, multistage nitrous systems, antiskid brakes, high-zoot sound systems, electric power steering, and power windows, seats, and door locks have vastly increased the complexity of many modern hot rodders' wiring needs. Even with a more basic old-school hot rod or race car, the number of remote relays and daisy-chained circuits and controllers takes up space and adds weight-from all the add-ons, as well as from the added weight of the heavy-gauge wiring needed for their interconnection. And no matter what the application-from no-frills to power everything-custom wiring is one of the most time-consuming and expensive parts of any project, requiring days to lay out wires from separate control switches to components, routing power lines, and testing and troubleshooting circuit integrity.
With ISIS, wiring becomes dramatically easier because multiple wires no longer run all the way from an electrical switch, through the fuse box, and out to each individual accessory. It takes the average weekend mechanic about 40 hours to wire a car. ISIS maintains that its system cuts that time up to 70 percent. And with shorter and fewer wire runs, you're looking at about a 40 percent weight savings compared with a traditional wiring harness. That's a big deal in a weight-conscious race car.
How It Works
ISIS' original architecture was designed for mission-critical, cannot-fail police, fire, and emergency vehicles, so it's tested to a reliability standard far beyond most typical hot rod parts. The basic system consists of a Mastercell control unit, which can be mounted behind the dashboard or inside the passenger compartment, and at least one slave unit or Powercell installed at a point near a cluster of electrical components. A Controller Area Network (CAN) bus cable connects the Mastercell unit to each subservient Powercell. One Mastercell can control and coordinate up to 50 inputs and 50 outputs. Each separate Powercell can power up to 10 components. You can run up to five Powercells installed at different remote locations.
Each Powercell can support up to 125 amps overall with each of the 10 fused outputs rated at 25 amps. If a current-drawing component eats more than 25 amps (typically, electric cooling fans or high-output electric fuel pumps), an available Mastercell and Powercell input and output circuit may still be used to control the low-current side of an external relay. For just about all other circuits, separate relays and high-current-capable bulky switches are no longer needed, as the Powercell itself acts like a relay but with lower inherent resistance and degradation over time than a traditional mechanical unit because the solid-state ISIS has no moving parts.
Instead of the usual practice of running battery current from a switch, through the device, and then to ground, on the ISIS the typical circuit path operates in reverse: Low current flows out from the Mastercell to a switch or sensor and then on to ground. Based on its programming and the sensor or switch position, the Mastercell communicates through the CAN cable to a Powercell to activate or deactivate the component (such as lighting or ignition). With the switches or sensors now located on the low-current, ground side of the circuit, their amp rating is no longer critical. It takes less than 1 milliampere to turn on an input to the Mastercell. Switch life is virtually unlimited, and you can use miniswitches for even the most electrically demanding consumers. If the alternator or battery fails, ISIS still operates on just 5.5 volts. Special order options include the ability to selectively and hierarchically disable noncritical electrical components or enable a master disconnect in the case of a low-voltage condition.

Hemingway, Ernest
Adult Fiction HEMINGWAY
Summary: Hemingway's Classic Novel About Smuggling, Intrigue, and Love To Have and Have Not is the dramatic story of Harry Morgan, an honest man who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of the wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who throng the region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair. Harshly realistic, yet with one of the most subtle and moving relationships in the Hemingway oeuvre, To Have and Have Not is literary high adventure at its finest.
