VAMPIR 2.5, VAMPIRtrace 2.0, and ARSC VAMPIR TutorialVAMPIR is a graphical tool to help MPI and SHMEM programmers examine and optimize the run-time communication patterns of their codes. We encourage you to make a run with this powerful tool: it can be revealing.
We have updated ARSC's VAMPIR Tutorial to match our recent VAMPIR software upgrades (on yukon, see "news VAMPIR_upgrade"). It is available at:
http://www.arsc.edu/support/howtos/usingvampir.htmlThe tutorial contains 11 images from VAMPIR 2.5 and covers many features, including:
- Tracing of SHMEM programs
- Visual designation of "global operations" (such as collective operations and barriers) in timeline displays.
- Detailing of individual display components (individual messages, global operations, and subroutine calls).
- Listing pending (unreceived) messages
- Displaying run statistics
- Reducing the size of trace files
- Zooming
UNICOS/mk Upgrade and Another OS PE for yukonNext Wednesday night during downtime, we plan two changes to yukon:
- Well, one new OS PE means one less CMD PE. This will leave yukon with 4 OS PEs and 8 CMD PEs, and is expected to improve file system and network performance.
- UNICOS/mk will be upgraded from 2.0.4 to 2.0.5. This version should be more resilient, and offers new capabilities to the system administration folks.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ I love the T3E, but sometimes I relax with me olde Cray PVP. {{ How can I estimate my job's memory utilization so I can make an {{ accurate NQS request (and get my job to start sooner)? (This answer taken from: http://www.arsc.edu/support/howtos/usingnqs.html Use the ja (or job accounting) tool provides a wealth of basic information about your run--including its maximum memory utilization. ja may be used interactively or in qsub scripts. You call it once without flags to start accounting; then run one or more programs of interest; then call it again with flags to dump reports in various formats and to terminate accounting. Example qsub script using ja #QSUB -q batch # Pipe queue, "batch" required #QSUB -lM 50Mw # limit the request to 50 Mw #QSUB -lT 10000 # limit the overall request to 10000 CPU seconds cd /u1/uaf/morris/progs ja # Start job accounting ./prog data1 ./prog data2 ja -sto # Dump reports and terminate accounting The reports are channeled to stdout and thus to the request's .o output file. In this example, ja -s produces a summary report which will contain (among other things) data like this: Elapsed Time : 72 Seconds User CPU Time : 7.6363 [ 7.6341] Seconds Maximum memory used : 9.7637 MWords The Maximum memory used is the maximum memory that was actually used at any single point between the initial invocation of ja and the invocation of ja -s. The script reserved 50 MWords, but the job only needed about 10 MWords. If future datasets and runs will be similar, the script could be modified to request, say, 15 MWords. (ja is also available on the T3E.) Q: I want to share some directories with members of my group, giving them write access. This command: chmod -R g+rwX ~ would work, but I don't want anyone messing with my dot files. How can I share a directory with my group?

My London Solo Show

My London Solo Show
36" x 36", Alkyd oil on wood panel
For a number of months now, I've been pretty busy. In fact, my catchphrase (for what seems like a longtime now) has been "I'm busy working on my show". Well, that show is done. It's finished, archived, and it's at the gallery. And what a gallery. My solo show will take place at none other than The Outsiders, owned and operated by the one and only, Steve Lazarides (past spokesperson and gallery dealer to street artist, Banksy). Steve also shows a number of artists who are my friends and others whom I have also been in group shows with. I've never been to The Outsiders and I'm excited to go there for the first time next week to attend the private viewing reception of my show.
My show, entitled, "My Feelings Like You", consists of 38 brand new works. Included in this show are some of my biggest works to date, including "Skunk Electrical Soap" (60 x 80 inches) and "Shanti" (42 x 72"). The show consists mainly of mixed media works that I am best known for. I also have paintings in there as well as some screen printed on handmade paper works. This show means a lot to me. Instead of randomly creating various works and piecing them together ad hoc, I carefully plotted out the pictures with a definite connecting theme in mind. Here is an excerpt from a recent interview I did for for Lust and Found that explains what those connections are:
"The themes explored are just as much about introspection as well as searching. There are a lot of assertions in the works I make about states of being and status of place. Yet there are also inquisitive, questioning and curious follies regarding various emotions and relationship dynamics. These are realized through my constant exploration of angst, happiness and catharsis that I hope is evident in the characters I draw and paint. A common character I am known for, The Toy Monkey, makes a few appearances in these new works. He's a guide, if you will. Many people may surmise that he's taking the viewer to a past time, in particular the 1920s or 1930s, but I'd like think that the place is just a byproduct and the real journey is in conveying the emotions through narratives."
My show runs from May 3rd - June 2nd. The gallery is located in Soho, in beautiful Covent Garden, London. The private viewing is on Thursday, May 3rd from 6 - 9 pm. The gallery will be selling my book, "I Love You, OK?", so I'll also be there doing some signing.
Here's some recent press so far where you can also see more works from the show:

Champs! NetScouts USA All-Star Team Wins Chinese Tournament
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
DONG XIANG, China. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Former Green Bay women's basketball standouts Adrian Ritchie and Stephanie Sension must be getting used to being called champions. After becoming regular season Horizon League Champions and Horizon League Tournament Champions two months ago, the two can now call themselves champions of the 2013 Four Nations Tournament in China. Tied with the Chinese team with a 4-2 record, Ritchie, Sension and the rest of the NetScouts Basketball USA All-Star Team went 3-0 in the final leg of its 15-day tour to finish as tournament champions with a 7-2 performance.
Game 1: USA 58, Brazil 50
Ritchie hit a three to open the contest, but it would be the only shot from the field Team USA would make in the opening quarter. The team hit just 1-of-13 from the field in the first quarter and found itself down 13-5 heading into the second frame. With just a 16 percent effort from the floor in the first half, Team USA pulled within one in the second quarter, taking a 23-22 deficit into the break.
The red, white and blue changed its offensive strategy in the second half and focused on driving to the basket, drawing numerous Brazil fouls in the process. The Americans scored 21 points from the line in the second half, allowing the team to pull ahead and hold on for the eight-point victory.
Ritchie scored seven points in the win, while Sension added two. The contest marked the first time an international basketball game was played in the city of Dong Xiang's history.
Game 2: USA 85, Australia 63
After struggling offensively in the win against Brazil, Team USA moved past its shooting woes to hand Australia an 85-63 defeat in front of more than 5,000 fans. After hitting just 16 percent of their shots in the previous contest, the Americans connected on 54 percent of attempts from the field and 58 percent (10-for-17) from downtown—including a 3-for-4 effort from Ritchie.
Team USA dominated just about every aspect of the game, holding a 37-23 advantage on the glass while containing the Aussies to just 39 percent shooting.
Behind her three triples on the afternoon, Ritchie scored 13 points and added a rebound and a steal. Sension also had a productive afternoon with nine points, six rebounds and a block, but suffered a mild concussion in the victory.
Game 3: USA 66, China 61
In front of a hostile sellout crowd of 6,500 Chinese fans, the NetScouts Basketball USA All-Stars became tournament champions with a 66-61 win over China. It was a close contest throughout, with Team USA holding a one-point lead at the break after a banked-in Chinese three at the buzzer.
The Americans took a four-point lead into the fourth quarter and with the help of a stingy defensive effort, held on for the five-point victory to become tournament champions.
Ritchie scored five points with four rebounds and five assists, while Sension was inactive after her concussion in the previous contest.
Final Standings
2. China, 5-4
Australia, 5-4
4. Brazil, 1-8
The team is expected to arrive home on American soil tomorrow.

text: Hey everyone. With the economy the way it is, and me living on my own now (big regret), I've decided that SDCC is going to have to be skipped this year :( even though I was really looking forward to year 2. So, the next best thing is gonna have to Wizard World in Chicago. I have never been, and I was wondering if TDH does anything with the convention or anything...or even GenCon in Indianapolis. Thanks in advance for any info.

|Focus Tuning Chat Discuss performance tuning options for your Ford Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'm going to sticky this. My gage doesn't match the livelink with the equation. I'm not a number cruncher or good with equations so I can't really help myself this way. But should be usefull to others
Solution: Trouble getting AEM AFR gauge to match Livelink
I was having an issue trying to get my AFR measured in SCT Livelink via the analog output to match the AFR gauge itself... Tom can't tune your car unless they do, so it's an important thing to resolve quickly if you want to get your car running right.
This pertains to the AEM Wideband UEGO wideband O2 sensor and gauge.
When I first asked Tom about it he said some people have this issue, so I thought I'd write this up for everyone.
If you have this issue:
DO NOT go messing with the analog configuration equations unless you try this first- I was trying to tweak the equations and it's just impossible to do it by guessing numbers and going for a drive to see if the computer and gauge match at idle, cruise, and WOT. I was using my multimeter to record voltages and AFRs and trying to plot them in Excel and make a linear regression equation to fit my gauge's own quirky voltage output, but I thought my gauge was defective and who wants to deal with that? So I got a better idea...
Troubleshooting it properly:
1) Make sure LiveLink and the SCT XCAL3 firmware are both up-to-date.
2) Your gauge should be getting power from a 12V (use a digital multimeter to confirm the voltage) line that is "switched" with the ignition. I used a power from my interior lights and used a lightbulb screwdriver tester to verify it gets power in the same pattern your radio does (ignition on, or with ignition off before opening the door to get out of the car after having the ignition on). To troubleshoot the issue, I unplugged this from the overhead lamps and from my radar detector, which also gets power from the same line.
3) The ground for your gauge must be "clean" according to the AEM instructions. I had wired it to the ground for those interior lamps, but today I rewired it down to screw in where the shifter bolts to the transmission-- great spot to ground things. Easy to thread a wire from where your gas pedal is into the shifter console as well.
4) At this point, unplug the sensor (6-pin connector) from the gauge and leave the 4-pin power connector in. Turn on the ignition, and the gauge should read 14.7 according to AEM. Mine is reading 14.8 but I think that this is still allowable.
5) Using a digital multimeter set to "9V"... tape one probe to the WHITE line coming from the gauge (this is the analog output), and the other probe to your cigarette lighter (the outside ring of it is ground). So you'll get numbers in voltages, so AFR = Volts x 2 + 10. This is your conversion equation to check if the volts in the output are agreeing with the gauge display. For example, if your voltage is 2.33 the gauge should read 14.7 (rounded up from 14.66). If they match, go ahead and plug in your sensor again to the gauge and now it gets fun.
6) I video taped the gauge side-by-side with the multimeter (I have a cell phone mount that was able to hold the meter, which mounts on the vent) while idling, then driving.
I downloaded the video to my computer and played it frame by frame and using an excel spreadsheet I took down the time, gauge AFR, voltage on the meter, and a calculated AFR with the equation above. this took some time, but in short time you will realize that the multimeter's voltage lags behind the AFR gauge somewhere between 0.2 and 0.5 seconds or so... my video player doesn't go more specific than seconds so I can't tell you the exact time.
So the output is working properly. Now is there a problem with your firewire, the xcal, or perhaps the livelink program? to check this...
7) I started a data log with livelink as I would for tom (make sure your analog 1 or analog 2, whichever you're using, is configured to change voltage to AFR with the equation above or by selecting "AEM" under the option for the analog input configuration), but the most important things to watch are TPS, rpm, and AFR... the first 2 are to get your bearings on what you were doing at that particular AFR. I took a video of this as well: I took a few seconds of video of the computer data log to sync up the timestamps of my video and the log... then videotaped the AFR gauge so I could compare the numbers later, on Excel like with the multimeter.
Your first job is to make sure you get idle, cruise, normal acceleration, and some good pedal-to-the-floor time to see a wide range of AFR's on the gauge and computer for comparison... a safe time for the WOT is in 3rd gear going 30mph... you don't need to be accelerating, just getting that AFR down.
Next, when you compare the video and the log, you have to determine a) how far behind the log the video is. For example, at exactly 5 sec of video my data log read 7.229 seconds, so my video began 2.229 seconds later than the data log. b) how long it takes the AFR output to reach the computer and be reflected on the data log. You'll notice if you give the car some gas it takes a fraction of a second for the computer to show your RPM's go up, etc... so just like with the multimeter, it takes a little time to show up after your gauge shows a given AFR. It's tricky but using the idle section you can find a peak in AFR and then go to your videotape and pause it at where the AFR shows a high point.
For me, it looks like the computer gets the AFR reading about 0.5-0.6 seconds later, but it looks like it's getting accurate readings. At a given spot in your log, the AFR might sometimes be off a little, 0.1-0.2 at most, but keep in mind the computer only records an AFR about every 0.15 seconds... so don't worry as long as they're usually consistent.
If you ran into a problem at any one of these steps, you should recheck that the gauge is wired properly.
If you still can't solve it, your gauge my be defective. AEM told me "if you unplug the sensor and the gauge reads 14.7, the gauge is fine, and you should call SCT".
This takes time and patience. The stuff I just recounted to you all took me about 2 hours once I figured out how the heck I was going to try to solve the problem (which took me about 2 weeks).
Hope it helps someone...

Hey everyone
I got my blaster and helmet on the go at the same time... along with homework.
So far I've built it out of illustration board using WOF's templates (our savior).
We've all seen what that progress looks like so I figured I'd save you all the trouble.
I'll start my post heading into the Bondo stage, but for now... heres a little intro pic.
I got a little excited and started to cut the visor out... so that tapes holding it in place.
see you all soon.

So, I have owned a number of UZI's in my life. Lots. But, the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia sez that they are baaaadddd! So, now I don't own any. But that is all about to change, once I make good my escape.
I have this question to ask:
NoDakSpud makes UZI receivers in two varieties, mostly done and partly done. They appear to be serialized, and that's fine.
Have any of you built an UZI from the NoDakSpud receiver?
Also, NoDakSpud has links on the UZI page to other folks who sell kits to complete the Spuds, does anyone have any feedback on them?
Lastly, I noticed that Green Mountain sells 16" UZI Barrels, anyone used one?
Like I said, I have owned many but built none. Looking for some advise, answers, and guidance.
Musibike! Now's your chance to convert me!:lol:

Yeah, I've been looking at the intercooler vs. water/methanol injection deal. DOn't know what are the benefits of each? I guess the water injection is simpler to install, perhaps a little cheaper, but the intercooler is always there, never has to be filled, and can't just unexpectedly stop working and kabloowy.
What cam specs work well with centrifugal Superchargers?
Hey all,
I just bought a Vortech V-1 S trim centrifugal head unit, and I plan on boosting my 406 SBC in the camaro via blow thru carb setup at about 5psi for now. Maybe add an intercooler later. The blower is maybe a touch on the smaller side, but I got it for a nice price and I think it will work for what I'm trying to accomplish, which is about 650HP or so at the crank (blower is good to 680HP or so)
I have the goods for a hydraulic roller cam, but I need a new cam to go with the blower combo.
THe motor is a 9.9:1 SBC, Dart Pro1 230cc heads, 1 3/4 headers, single plane intake, 750 mighty demon, T-56 trans, 4.86:1 gears, 28" tires.
So, what kind of cam would work well for this? I was doing some reading, and it seems that a cam for a positive displacement blower should have less overlap than an ideal cam for a NA motor (NA - 108 LSA, blower = 112 or 114 LSA). But, then they said that the cam for a centrifugal would be more like a NA motor, since boost doesn't come in until a higher RPM. So you would use a LSA thats tighter than that for a positive displacement blower.
That makes me think that the same basic cam used on a NA motor, would probably work pretty decent in a centifugally supercharged motor.
Anybody have any good thoughts on this?
ENgine simulator 3.2 is telling me a 222 / 252 cam, 110LSA , on a 108 ICL would give 680 HP at 5.0 psi on the top end at 6000, and 640 ftlbs otrque at 5000.
Would that large of a difference between intake and exhaust duration work very well, or is the program flawed in its "thinking."??

So sorry I've been MIA for the past little while. It's probably been the worst year EVER for our family! Of course, it's had it's wonderful moments, but it's been really REALLY tough. My hubby lost his job at the end of last year and nothing has seemed to fall into place for our little family until just recently when my husband completely changed career paths.
Anyway, I'm happy to say that I'll be posting more custom blog designs and work that I've been doing over the past 6 months. I'm also happy to start off showing you these beautiful girls that I was able to work with to design their custom senior graduation photo cards! Gorgeous aren't they!?
I would also love to do some giveaways and design some new free backgrounds for my followers! Thank you again for all the support and love over the years!

large linear systems
Dear wizs,
I have some doubts about solving large linear systems.
Suppose that I have to solve:
m.x = v
with m being a symbolic and complicated matrix and v a vector.
The critical point is to find a way to get an answer short enough to be
processed by some combination of Simplify, Together, Expand ...
I tried:
1) LinearSolve[m,v]
2) ics = {x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9};
com[i_] := Apply[ PolynomialGCD, m[[i]] ]
Do[ eqn[i] = {Factor @ Numerator @ Together @
== 0},{i,1,9}]
eq = Join[ Flatten[ Table[eqn[i],{i,1,9}]]];
sol = ics /. Solve[eq,ics][[1]];
The strange thing is that the (2) produce an answer shorter than (1).
That's strange because I supposed that a routine (LinearSolve) produced
especially for a linear system worked more efficiently that a generic
routine for any kind of equations (or systems of equations).
My question is: does anyone knows some better way to solve a symbolic
linear system without producng enourmous expressions which cannot be
processed by Mathematica?
Thanks a lot

Hey guys just wanted to show off a couple DIY projects I made up this weekend to help with my filming. If anybody is interested in plans for these, I can share where I got the plans for all of them, although I modified most to fit my particular cameras and way of filming.
First was a Fig Rig for our Sony (total cost $10-15, time 10-15 minutes, Pro models retail $100 and up)
Next was a dolly for my Canon (total cost $4-5, but i already had the wheels, total time 10-15 minutes, Pro models run $75 and up)
I do plan on adding a ball head to this to create more options
A slider for dynamic shots anywhere I dont have a flat surface to use the dolly (total cost $40-45, total time 30-40 minutes, Pro models retail $150 and up with some being over $1000) I plan on adding a ball head or actual tripod head to this one to add flexibility
An last but not least, some light stands for interviews and product pictures (total cost $2-3 each, total time 2-3 minutes each, pro models retail $25 and up)
I have several of my own designs I am working on right now that I will post up when I finish. I'll also do up a video using these new contraptions sometime this week to show what they help me do.

Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di USD Sony mount lens review: high image quality but does it justify the price?By Kevin Carter - Monday July 01 2013 Lens Review
Tamron's new full-frame high-speed standard zoom won plaudits for its high image quality and balance of features for the price. However, while the Sony Alpha mount version similarly includes an ultrasonic type AF motor, it doesn't have the optical stabilization feature because of the stabilized sensor platform of the Alpha camera bodies. Read on to see how well this revised version performs on the Sony SLT Alpha 99.
Apart from the fast ultrasonic-type AF and weatherproofing, without doubt one of the most promising aspects of this lens when launched was the inclusion of optical image stabilization. For Sony Alpha users though, who are already accustomed to stabilization with any lens fitted, the new Tamron lens will be less tempting, especially as the price remains the unchanged at $1299.

Looks great to me, all that was missing was a visor and some paint; I'd rather paint it myself anyway.
The item has been sold already as of just yesterday, which is unfortunate for me because I was going to set up my eBay and PayPal accounts tonight with plans on purchasing it. But oh well, I'll keep my eyes peeled and maybe I'll find somebody selling one on here.
What I'm getting at is, is this a good price for a resin cast? And has anybody had any experience with this seller (ragtop57chevi) before?
BTW first post here, and first time costumer so any feedback would be appreciated.

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound . . . I think I have that right. I loved the power displayed in that TV show. And today you've got to love the power of IBM's new Blue Gene/P.
"designed to break the "Quadrillion" barrier"
"the most energy-efficient and space-saving computing package ever built"
"speeds in excess of three petaflops"
"100,000 times more powerful than a home PC"
And my favorite - "can process more operations in one second than the combined power of a stack of laptop computers nearly 1.5 miles high"
And it doesn't even need to wear a cape.

Hello I am new here and I am just relaunching my custom Mando build and as I have been thinking about it one thought randomly popped into my mind.
I wear glasses, and as I was test fitting my helmet said glasses got mashed into my face.
How do you guys out there in internet land deal with the need for corrective lenses?
The helmet I am working with is a converted Jango Fett retail style, I am not sure of the manufacturer I think its one of the cheaper Don Post ones.
I was thinking I have some old broken glasses that I could scavenge the lenses from and try to make some sort of mount.
What methods have my near sighted brethren tried?

If true one can only 'assume' that you just haven't lived long enough yet or you haven't spent enough time outside in harsh weather or your just one who is able to blindly ignore extreme conditions. You choose, as this is all very tiring and serves no purpose. I'm ashamed that I got caught up in the game. I'll try not to let it happen again....NOT. People surviving in a sleeping bag??? For how long? A few days at best. I just don't get the joke or the debate. The 30 persons you mention in an un-heated house would all still be dead (frozen stiff) come Spring in North Wisconsinthomas
I would think a open mesh floor (even with baffles) in my environment in winter would render insulation almost useless. wind blowing across that would cause an air exchange rate far surpassing the abilities of the bees heat output in winter cluster. The bubble you describe would only exist in the calmest conditions beyond those you are going to get turbulent mixing not a convective cell inside the hive.A small top vent does utilize a chimney effect (if there is also a bottom entrance) but air flow can be restricted to the desired rate by opening size.A bottom entrance alone (no mesh) is attractive in the same way as your igloo analogy, but proper sizing would seem critical to insure enough air flow to avoid issues with damp under a variety of conditions.I don't pretend to have the right solutions, I would just argue that the problem is complex and nuanced
Regardless of agreeing or disagreeing , the whole argument of hive versus cluster is moot for most of us. We already have our preferred method of caring for our hives. Most aren't going to do too much for the hives, a few will insulate, even fewer are going to bother heating. And we're willing to deal with any consequences. 20 years ago, the winter kill rate was about 20%. I doubt that was with extreme measures such as heating a hive. And personally, I find 80% survival acceptable. They didn't bother back then.Plenty of hives survive just fine for years in leaky creaky old boxes. Some even in buckets and pails. :-DYes, I agree a little extra heat is going to help a hive survive, as evidenced from my 2 frame observation hive surviving the winter. But it really isn't worth it in the majority of cases. I usually pick first, just to loosen things up, then blow.


text: I'm with flowerpower: it's just an absolutely ridiculous thing to say that V/M have peaked and can't get any better. I want to know what they're smoking if they think that V/M haven't improved since their senior debut. IMO, they're better now than they were two years ago. This is sort of related to the above, but I also think that performance (interpretation, I suppose would be more correct) tends to improve as skaters get older. I think it's a function of just having different life experiences, and the only way to get those is to live. I know I grew a lot personally in my 20's--particularly my early 20's. I'd say the same thing we've seen in other skaters over the years also holds with V/M.

Even just a few weeks into my blog I think it might be becoming embarrassingly apparent that I am totally and completely addicted to chocolate. There it is. My secret is out. It's only going to be come more apparent as my blogging goes on.
And the truth is, my major weakness is chocolate paired with peanut butter. These cupcakes describe my baking addiction well.
So today I give you another peanut butter meets chocolate creation. A really yummy, soft and chewy, super simple Reese's Pieces Chocolate Cookie:
A friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago. It's very easy, they turn out very soft and chewy and wow-they are GOOD!
Chocolate Reeses Cookies Recipe:
1 Devil's Food Cake Mix
1/4 C cocoa
1 stick of butter melted
2 eggs
1 C chocolate chips
3/4 C Reese's Pieces (that's about 4 oz. or so)
Mix it all together and bake at 350 for about 8-10 minutes. You definitely want to err on the side of less time because they are best when they are really soft. Cook them until they are just done. I had to smoosh mine down just a little before baking to get them to spread enough.
That's it! Enjoy these amazing chocolate reeses cookies!
Love chocolate cookies? I've got more.

Sommer May Added to Women's Tennis Coaching Staff
By Justin Grones (@GronesGB)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay women's tennis head coach Sara Schubring has added Green Bay native Sommer May as an assistant coach, the team announced Wednesday. May, a Green Bay native, is currently ranked the No. 3 player in the Wisconsin Women's Open Singles by the United States Tennis Association.
"I'm thrilled to have Sommer and her accomplished tennis background join our staff," Schubring said. "She brings great competitive playing experience at the Division I and USTA levels, and shares our program values—which will make her a great role model and teacher for our student-athletes."
A Green Bay native, May (née LaValley) graduated from Notre Dame Academy where she was an all-conference performer and two-time WIAA State Champion. From there, she headed to Marquette, playing one season with a 10-18 singles record in the 2000-01 season. She graduated from Minnesota in 2004 with a degree in psychology.
Still active on the court, May holds the No. 3 ranking in the USTA Wisconsin Women's Open Singles division and posted an impressive 7-1 record this summer in level 4.5 matches—just two levels below the national circuit. In 2010 and 2011, she held the No. 1 ranking in the state.
When May isn't on the court, she's a proud mother of two and an active volunteer with various organizations in the Green Bay area. May and her husband, Jon, reside in Ledgeview with their twins, Kennedy and Charles.

Cant buy Microsoft Word? Well use Lotus Symphony and IBM Client for Smart Work duh
Stop selling Microsoft Word by Jan 11th 2010.
Pay $290M to i4i
Says U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to Microsoft today, Dec 22nd 2009!
"The company will be allowed to provide technical support to Word customers, but it will be barred from instructing users on how to use the custom XML editor or from marketing copies of Word that allegedly violate the patent."
Customers do have a choice. Switch to Lotus Symphony, adopt IBM Client for Smart Work..
Desktop alternatives article in Business Week
Good writeup on customers trending towards desktop alternatives..
Excerpts from this article:
As of October 2009, about 9% of 1,414 business technology professionals surveyed by InformationWeek Analytics said that their organizations made extensive use of netbooks and 19% predicted they would make extensive use of them by 2011. About 33 million netbooks were shipped worldwide in 2009.
The worldwide thin client market may grow to 7 million units in 2012, from 2.9 million in 2007, according to IDC. Gartner (IT) expects that by 2014, 15% of traditional professional desktop PCs will be replaced by so-called virtual desktops, which also leave most computing and storage tasks to a centrally located computer, rather than maintain them at the employee's workstation.
"For every dollar I spent buying a PC, I spent 50¢ to the dollar every year maintaining it," Kapoor says. "There's a lot of technical expertise that's required to do that maintenance." iQor has eliminated its help desk and, before long, expects to cut its IT staff to about a quarter its previous size.

Validating Linux surge on Netbooks
AntonySatyadas 1100009CNT Tags:  icsw client linux technewsworld windows ubuntu work smart microsoft netbooks for ibm 7,235 Views
Good discussion in Technewsworld on adoption of Linux based Netbooks (32%), the predicted surge in 2010 with ARM based Netbooks which will run ONLY Linux...
'Death of the Desktop'
On desktops, "people still feel they need lots of local power and storage, even though their CPUs idle and they never back up their stuff," blogger Robert Pogson told LinuxInsider.
However, "experience with netbooks will kill off the desktop within a few years," Pogson predicted. "It makes little sense unless you need all those drives, noise, heat, space and burning money. Those who really need power will use a thin client connected to a server cluster."
Looking ahead, "expect GNU/Linux to do just as well on notebooks as it did on netbooks," he added. "2009 was the year of GNU/Linux on the desktop as far as I am concerned. 2010 could well mark the death of the desktop and overweight notebooks."

PHOTOS: Montcalm Challenge Food Drive
GREENVILLE — Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2011, was distribution day for 18 area food pantries. The Montcalm Challenge Food Drive gave away the 23,864 food items collected during this fall's drive, which also raised nearly $25,000. That money will be used to buy food in bulk for area food pantries throughout the year. The food drive has been a friendly competition among area businesses since 1991. It has raised nearly 715,000 food items and nearly $270,000 over that time. Commercial Bank won the small business category while Vertis Communications won the large business category.

'For the second straight season — if there is a National Hockey League season — the Buffalo Sabres will host the defending Stanley Cup champions in Rochester's Blue Cross Arena. The Sabres announced Wednesday the Tampa Bay Lightning are the scheduled opponent Monday, Oct. 18 in Rochester, home of Sabres' owner B. Tom Golisano.'
Archives for July 2004
Once again, Sabres schedule Stanley Cup champs in Rochester
Sabres set to open preseason at Rochester
'The Sabres will play two games across the border in Ontario, facing Minnesota at St. Catharines on Sept. 25 and Montreal at Hamilton on Oct. 6. Buffalo rounds out its schedule at Toronto on Sept. 28, at Montreal on Oct. 2 and at Minnesota on Oct. 3.'
The Sabres Open The Preseason In Rochester
'If there's a CBA, the Sabres first preseason game will be September 24th against Columbus in Rochester.'
Preseason Schedule Released
'The schedule includes two games each versus Minnesota, Montreal and Toronto, along with the preseason finale against the Stanley Cup Champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning.'
Supply vs. demand
'Golisano said his personal impetus came from Buffalo's home games against the Toronto Maple Leafs, when the arena was packed with as many Leafs fans as Sabres fans. "We want to get the lower bowl filled with season ticket holders," Golisano said.'
Golisano's gamble
'In addition to winning seasons, it will take league-leading management for this team to remain viable in the long term. Golisano's new policies look like solid steps in that direction.'
Golisano a man for all seasons
'"(My) resources give us time to get it turned around," said Golisano. "But nobody can (lose money) forever. It has to be turned around."'
Labor issues put damper on Sabres' announcement
'If the Sabres — and the rest of the NHL, for that matter — really want to live up to the "For The Fans!" slogan, they'll make sure there is a season. Because if there is no season, it will take more than a unique pricing structure to bring them back. At that point, it's a lose-lose situation for all involved.'
Business of hockey cut Sabres' ticket prices
'"Whether it's payroll processing or hockey entertainment, basic principles apply," Sabres owner B. Thomas Golisano said Wednesday. "You have to have a product somebody wants. They have to be able to afford it. And they have to feel good about the value they're getting. It's as simple as that."'
Ticket plan proves Sabres are learning
'People are willing to pay for a good product, and that's why variable pricing makes sense. Buffalo-Toronto almost always gets the place buzzing, but it comes with a higher price. You want to see hockey but aren't overly intrigued by Buffalo and Phoenix, then Tom Golisano will cut you a break. It seems fair enough.'
Sabres rearrange tickets by price tiers
'"People in Rochester think of the (Buffalo) Bills as their team and for the first time, I started to sense they feel that way about the Sabres," Quinn said.'
Sabres Lowering Ticket Prices for 2004-05 Season
'"We're definitely saying, `Hey, it's more important for you to stay with us long-term, than for us to capitalize on you, short-term. We want these people to be with us generationally, the way they were at the Aud."'
Sabres slash prices to fill seats
'The team is pricing games into four different categories: value (the cheapest), bronze, silver and gold (the most expensive). The games will be selected for each category based on historical demand, the time of year, the day of week, opponents and rivalries. Therefore, a Maple Leafs or weekend game would likely be classified as a "gold game", whereas a less popular opponent, during the week, would be less expensive.'
Sabres announce drastic reductions in ticket prices
'''It's going to be hard, but quite frankly, if everybody bought just one more ticket we'd have 14,000,'' said Sabres managing partner Larry Quinn. ''Of course, we know not everybody is going to do that, but this game needs to be seen live, and right now it's too expensive.'''
Sabres introduce new variable to ticket prices
'The Sabres say for season ticket holders, which numbered about 8,200 last season, the average price will be $35 per seat, lowest in the 30-team NHL. The overall average ticket price, which was $45 in 2003-04, will drop to $38.'

Okay, as some of you know, I got ahold of the famed 1 off mystery armor. It's 4mm thick heavy gauge aluminum. A special "Thank you" to Graham and Terry, you guys are the best.
After some procrastination and trepidation, I finally decided to "man up" and get started on making this stuff wearable. I first started a couple of weeks ago by bending and reshaping the armor so that the contours were correct and it would sit on a vest properly. I did it, by hand, using a couple of different vices on display at Harbor Freight (Thank you floor people).
Then, yesterday evening, I began masking (toothpaste, Thanks Mike!) and paint on the shoulder bells and I used a dremel and metal cutting disc to cut the display slots in the left chest piece. This morning, I finished laying the final yellow on the shoulders and applied the decal, whilst also getting started on the rest of the armor. At this point, I have laid the yellow undercoat, and am fixing to lay the green on the armor. Once that is done, I will be misting all of the parts with ultra-flat spray and adding the "grease mark" to the shoulder bell.
Paints used:
Shoulders = Testors flat light aircraft grey / Krylon bauhaus gold
Armor = Rust-oleum American Accents summer squash / Testors medium green
Here's my WIP so far... (any criticism is welcomed

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
With the release of the MCD ready to roll, label Poserslaughter scored Nasum a gig in Germany, but founder and drummer Alriksson balked at the notion of live performance, and called it a day. Jakobson would eventually move into the vacant drummer's position, and Talarczyk would take on vocal duties in addition to guitar in response to the sudden roster change. More recording -- for EPs, splits, and compilations -- followed over 1996 and 1997, and in 1998 Nasum released their first full-length album, Inhale/Exhale, on Relapse, an American label that had fallen in love with the band's sound after hearing Nasum's recent recordings. With momentum and popularity on the rise and an ever increasing performance schedule, Nasum opted to move past the days of the duo and added full-time bassist Jesper Liveröd (from Burst) in late 1998. The band finished up the millennium appearing at the Milwaukee Metal Fest as well as entering the studio to work on album number two. In April of 2000, Human 2.0 was released, and the band spent the lion's share of the next two-plus years touring and performing in support of the work, including a stop in Japan. Released in 2003, Helvete, which featured the talents ofNapalm Death's Shane Embury, was well received, and led to even more high-profile appearances, especially on the European festival circuit. During the development of Helvete, Nasum added second guitarist Urban Skytt and bassist Jon Lindqvist, who took the place of departing member Liveröd. In 2004, Nasum unveiled album number four, Shift, and followed the release with further touring.
Plans for the new year were being laid out -- including new recordings and tours -- as the year wound down, and with a break in the action, vocalist and guitarist Talarczyk decided on a Thai vacation to celebrate his 30th birthday. After the tsunami hit that country -- a result from a massive earthquake in the Indian Ocean -- Talarczyk was listed as missing. Fearing the worst, the band decided to end Nasum, and on February 17, 2005, Talarczyk's death was officially confirmed. To celebrate and honor the work of Talarczyk and Nasum, a two-disc compilation of all of the band's non-album work was made available in 2006, entitled Grind Finale. A live album featuring a 2004 show from Osaka, entitled Doombringer, was released in early 2008. The remaining members of Nasum either went back to their parent bands or began work on new projects. ~ Chris True

SJ, I was out checking it while you were typing this. So far so good. I did not use much, nor did I let it sit. I worked it and removed it fast. I think letting it sit would attack the same as alcohol does. I just did the brake cleaner side with thinner. It did not come back as glossy. The brake cleaner seems to have killed the top layer. I will check it tommorrow for melting or cracking.Quote:

Apple to Make HDTVs?
cnet UK claims "Apple to release networked HDTVs". Ummm right. I initially thought this was a silly idea but it's actually possible.
First the silly part. Why would Apple make a TV set? They don't manufacture LCD screens or Plasmas they do repackage LCDs from manufactures like Philips in some nice designs and none of those are of HD resolution, in fact 2 of them are higher resolution screens than HD (1920×1080). For an HDTV I would rather buy something from Panasonic or Samsung than Apple. It just seems like someone whose made TVs for decades would do a better job and could sell the same thing cheeper than Apple.
But lets put some facts together. Apple has never been one to be satisfied with the status quo or the the standard device or to be just another player in a market. Apple has always made something just a little better than what everyone else is making. Take the iPod for example, it isn't just an MP3 player, a Mac isn't just a PC. Apple adds value, fine I'm an admitted kool-aid drinker but PC World did list the MacBook Pro as the fastest Vista laptop they had tested.
Blue-ray is going nowhere fast and the HD transition is not going well.
Cable companies are having a hard time fitting HD content into their lines without a lot of comression and quality loss and right now, satellite and simple antennas give consumers the best every day quality for HD. In tests AppleTV devices presented HD content in better quality than cable provider.
Apple may well make a home viewing screen for video content. Note I didn't say TV. It may have an HD tuner in it but Apple will probably rely on broadband for content delivery. It will be the ultimate a la cart choice for consumers. But Apple will need to up their selection of current TV shows via iTunes to really sell it to consumers. They must guarantee that consumers can watch their favorite programs as soon as they're broadcast. Many of the current cable/satellite networks that aren't now on iTunes will also need to be added. That's the only way to really make it work. The consumer will need to have at least the same selections on this device they have now with cable or satellite.
The Value added that Apple will bring is higher resolution than HD. Other manufactures are already making 4K (4 times HD) devices such as Sony's SXRD 4K projector and the 150″ Panasonic plasma. Content is already being captured in 4k also using the RED 4k camera and others. Macs can already can edit this raw content with their pro video apps.
So if Apple makes a "TV" it will have a resolution of 3840 x 2160. The current 30″ Cinema Display comes in at 2560 x 1600 which is about 2 times HD and about half 4k. (see HDTV resolutions at Wikiedia) Apple has made it clear they want to have resolution independence in their OS and the devices that run it and they very nearly have it now. When will the AppleCinema (my term) come out, if ever? Macworld 2009. Macworld 2009 will happen in January about one month before the analog turn off and HD rollout. I do think the AppleTV is due for a major revamp and this may be it with the introduction of separate 2k and 4k displays up to 50″. Only time will tell.No comments

The last Australian troops have left Iraq, the last British troops are leaving Iraq and the result is an American presence alongside Iraqi forces. George Bush I went to great efforts to organize a coalition of many nations in preparation for the invasion of Iraq during the Gulf War, but his son was so intent on having a war, that organization and coalition building were thrown aside. Sorry, he did persuade a few hundred Estonian or Hungarian or Italian troops to hitch their wagons to the American team, but as realization grew in other nations that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld had lied about the infamous WMD, they soon wanted their soldiers back home.
History is always filled with "if" suggesting other course of action could have been pursued in Iraq. The debacle of terrorism being strengthened due to Bush actions might never have occurred if caution and honest coalition building had been the focus of American foreign policy in Iraq. There are signs President Obama is concerned about the importance of getting other nations involved in securing solutions to problems.

I love this dress and want to buy it. There are no Zara's in MN. Can someone help me with sizing? I see the guide but can someone give me an idea of how they run? I'm 5'3 and 110 lbs, 34C and broad shoulders. At Ann Taylor I wear a 0 or 2, would a small fit me or is the cut slimmer that I'd need a medium? Thanks.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good question. I think a small would be perfect. I'm 5'5" 140 lbs and the large fit perfectly. I tried the XL and it was swimming on me. Also--because I don't have long, supermodel legs, it hits at the knee. Hope this helps!Delete
Thank you. I ordered the small and medium, then I'll be set either way and can return the one that doesn't fit. I plan to wear to a wedding next weekend. Thank you so much for posting this dress. I love that it can work for an interview, a funeral, a wedding, a night out. It pretty much runs the gamut.Delete

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- General Equipment Reviews. (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/general-equipment-reviews/)
- - CandyGrind Handbag Mitts Review (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/general-equipment-reviews/73018-candygrind-handbag-mitts-review.html)
CandyGrind Handbag Mitts Review
I had the pleasure to give the CandyGrind Handbag Mitts a solid review which definitely got me stoked since I had heard good words about their products through various snowboarding mags. Problem with mag reviews is that they are short on page space and in my opinion, can be brief and short on info. When it comes to reviewing a product, details need to be shared, pictures need to be taken, and putting them to the test needs to be accomplished, all of which I did at Vail over the past month, all while riding a ton of POW and even getting in some groomer, cold days.
About me. I wear a large in CG gloves. I am 6', 175 lbs. I have been riding since 1989, am 33 yrs old and I ride pretty hard. I would consider my level, advanced/expert when it comes to freerider/freestyle/backcounty. I have had the opportunity to ride with numerous different mitts and gloves so I feel I am a great reviewer when it comes to this product line. How I review is each pic I post I break down with details of positive and negative through "first opinion" and "putting them to use test".
The Handbags retail at $115 greenbacks on their site and come in 4 different colorways: Black, White, Orange/Purple, Blue/White. Side note: There are other sites out there that do sell them for less.
Here are the details of the Handbag Mitt from CNDYGRND's site:
From subzero days in the backcountry to summers at Hood, the Handbag can handle it. When it's time to text that cougar from the lift line, slide open the side zip to reveal the pipe glove liner. For those spring slush sessions, ditch the mitt and rock just the glove.
Handbag Mitten (With Side Open Zippers & REMOVABLE PIPE GLOVE Liner)
- Full Genuine Leather Outer Shell And Palm
- Hipora Breathable Waterproof Insert
- Moisture Wicking
-Micro Fleece Lining
- Doule Reinforced LeatherFingertips
- Weather Proof Zippers
- Wrap Around Leather Wrist Straps With Locking Velcro Closure
- Custom Dyed Leather Colors
- Logo Embroidery Detail
- Quilting Details
- Logo metal emblem
- Pairing Pulley Tab
- Removable wrist straps
Pipe Glove Liner
-Polyester Stretch Twill
-Chamude Palm With Silicone Grip
-Moisture Wicking Microfleece Lining
So let's get started!
Top & Palm view of the Handbag Mitt.
1. First Opinion:
WOW, the leather feels super tough, thick, and solid as far as construction quality of the leather. However, I was surprised it wasn't insulated more so considering the description of the glove called out "subzero" days, but it is insulated with a thin moisture wicking micro fleece lining layer, and does come with the pipe glove liners. You can definitely tell where there is doubled layers of leather in the finger tip area of the mitts. Stitching is very high quality. The glove is super light and mobility of the hand with the glove on is free and easy.
Very impressed just after first glance but the lack of the insulation was slightly concerning. Super amped to see how they perform in "subzero" days and POW.
Top and Palm view with the wrap around strap.
2. First Opinion of Strap:
Really looking at the wrap around strap here and absolutely loved it! Reminded me of a boxing glove and how the strap cinched down makes the glove a permanent fixture to your hand. The only issue I experienced here was that it was difficult to put the mittens on over the liners. They definitely do no just slip on over the liner, they need to be pulled and pulled and pulled again. But, once they are on and the strap is secure, they ain't goin anywhere!
Top, Palm, and Wrist View of the Liners
3. First Opinion of Liners:
Just as the description says from the website, these liners are Pipe Gloves. A little bit thinner than some Pipe Gloves that I have ridden in but not much. They come with the Silicon gripped palm with micro fleece lining on the inside. I was very impressed with these liners and after using the gloves can now see why the shell does not need to be so heavily insulated due to the liners. The wrist comes with a snap button to also secure closure down to the wrist. Good thinking CG!
Zipper View, Open and Closed
4. First Opinion of the Zipper:
Brilliant in an English accent! I LOVE THIS FEATURE!! I stopped riding with mittens years ago due to not being able to use my fingers for adjusting bindings, messing with zippers, etc. With this weatherproof zipper your 4 fingers can come out to play with zero restrictions. The thumb stays in the mitten. If you are rocking the mittens without liners then great for using the cell phone or ipod to change music or make those annoying adjustments as needed.
Strapping in with the fingers out of the mittens
5. Putting them to use - Bindings:
Here you can see I am using the mittens with the liners on what was considered to be a POW day. It was also very chilly with a 10-15 mph wind factor making that morning temp 0 degrees F or even colder. It was extremely awesome that all I had to do was unzip the mitt and strap in with the liners on. So far I am loving these gloves!
Riding over a foot of Powder
6. Putting them to use - Riding:
Here is a shot I took after riding the trees and powder for about 4 hours. They sun was out on this particular day and temps were a little warmer, right around 7-23 degrees F over the course of the day. My hands were completely dry and very warm all day. In fact, I had to unzip a few times to ventilate later in the day when the temps increased. Remember that concern I had with the lack of insulation. Not a concern anymore.
Trees Sesh!
7. Putting them to use - Trees Sesh:
On this day a tree sesh (or what others call a Safety Meeting) took place on a very snowy, cold day. We had snow dumping on us and blowing in every direction and the Handbags had NO issues. I didn't even have an issue with holding on to my beer! I tried to drink my cold beer with the glove unzipped with just the liners but sadly my fingers were cold so I had to zip it up. Poor me.
After the beer flowed right through me I had to pee, and fellas, this is awesome! Unzip the gloves, unzip my zipper, and awwwwww! Thumbs up CG!
Overall Rating:
I gave the Handbag Mittens 4-1/2 out of 5 SHQ's. The only reason they didn't get all 5 was the level of difficulty putting the gloves on. You might be saying to yourself, "But the zipper makes it so you don't have to take the gloves off and then put back on". Yes but no. Every picture you see here on this review required me to take the glove/liner off to take a pic. The liner is too bulky and not screen sensitive so after many times of taking pics and putting them back on I really got a great feel of the ease of off/on accessibility. I did notice though that it has been getting easier to put them on. I have boarded in these 4 hard days now and they have loosened up a tad due to the leather stretching. I imagine after a season or two of riding they should be much easier to put on over the liners.
For warmth, they certainly do keep your hands warm on the subzero days! On several occasions while riding the lift on a windy, snowy, super cold day my fingers were warm. I would actually look over at my buddies who were wearing gloves and their fingers would be balled up in the palms to keep warm, while they were complaining of cold fingers. Plus, a good indicator for me on how well these gloves work is that when my toes are cold but my fingers aren't, you know they are dope gloves!
CandyGrind made a super amazing glove with the Handbags. The name is very fitting as they are just that, a leather handbag that keeps the heat in and the cold out. If you are looking for an extremely durable, warm, and dry mitten that is now universal, these should be your next purchase! Props CandyGrind!
If you like this review then hit us up on Facebook and throw us a LIKE.
I love mine too, I have the same exact ones and don't think I'll ever be buying different mittens/gloves again. The zip feature is just so amazing that once you have used it you can't imagine not having it. Best part about the zipper is since I live in socal I just unzip them on the lift to let my hands cool off when its hot out.
How does their sizing run? Is it comparable to Dakine (i.e. large = large between the two brands)?
Best review ever. How do these compare to their park mitten?
I have their park mitts and while they are comfy and nice looking, they're not holding up all that great after only about 20 days on the hill.
I'm gonna go back to sticking with mountaineering companies when it comes to mitts and gloves. You just can't beat them.

Capsule Drawer
Rated 1 out of 5 by Not hard to please from Works well only a short time I just replaced a two year old one that I used once a week or less. A light began flashing and I was told by a company rep that it was time to replace it. He said the machine generally works for two to three years. Obviously mine did not get full milage. I took maticuously good care of it and followed directions exactly. I thought that maybe I just had a little bad luck and ordered another one since the original one made great froth. The second one made great froth the first time and then started making mostly warm milk with a tiny bit of froth. I returned it to Nespresso and they told me that the froth level was in the acceptable range. I will never purchase another one of Nespresso's frothers. I like the coffee machine, but Breville makes a more dependable frother product. Nespresso also said that I might need to change milk companies. I do not think so!Date published: 2017-03-28Rated 5 out of 5 by Satisfied2 from Wonderful product After trying several brands with no success, this was the best. Great foam and quiet and quick.Date published: 2016-10-18Rated 1 out of 5 by SLTPIGSFLY from Failed After One Week I purchased this item as part of a set with a Nespresso Inissia espresso machine. I thought that my staff would enjoy having the ability to make specialty coffee drinks. I have a Nespresso Citiz with Aerocino 3 at home, and the frother, while temperamental, still works fine after three years. The stand alone Aerocino frother that came with the Inissia failed after using it for a week. I know not to overfill it and how to clean it properly. Extremely disappointed! I hope that Williams Sonoma will replace this item!Date published: 2015-12-12Rated 5 out of 5 by cbsnola from Great froth I've had my Aeroccino Plus for 3 years, use it every day and have never had an issue with it. I also let it sit on the base, plugged in, though I may not do that anymore after reading other reviews. The only time it overflowed, was when I overfilled because I wasn't wearing my glasses. I would say it's important to clean the unit soon after each use and not let unused milk sit. I'm buying the next generation, the III for my daughter for Christmas.Date published: 2015-12-07Rated 5 out of 5 by cnsmsp from Haven't found a better product for the price I purchased the Nespresso Pixie Aeroccino package in 2011. The Pixie still works great but I am about to purchase my third Aercoccino. With everyday use, they don't last. The first one died abruptly after 2 years. The second one has started to slowly decline in its ability to froth after 3 years. I am going to try unplugging it between use as I read in another review. I became a Nespresso user after my expensive espresso maker died of old age and I didn't want to invest $$$$. Aeroccino number 3 is still worth it!Date published: 2015-12-07Rated 5 out of 5 by jrh29 from I love mine I love this product! I use mine daily for almost 3 yrs now and have not had any problems with it. The woman at the store did tell me, however, not to leave it plugged in, sitting on the base unit. Maybe that it why some reviewers are having trouble with it burning out so quick?? Not sure... but I love mine! I am back to purchase one for a friend.Date published: 2015-11-20Rated 1 out of 5 by pauljc from Bottom scorches very easily which makes it unusabl It is very difficult to clean in between the protrusion where the whisk sits and the side of the unit. It will eventually scorch and render the unit useless. Had mine for about 6 months before throwing it away. Worked very well before the bottom became all scorched. And BTW they aren't kidding about keeping the milk below the measure lines on the side.Date published: 2015-11-09Rated 1 out of 5 by Colormewind from This product stops working very soon! I have to say that the start is great. Nice foam. BUT it stopped working after a couple of months! And I use it 3 times a week at the most! From reading reviews I'm not the only one who has this problem. After a while it wouldn't deliver as well and now it stops after 2 seconds. No water ever touched the electronic parts, there was absolutely no reason for it to break.Date published: 2015-10-14
