How does an iRobot roomba deal with cat puke?
I am thinking of getting one to deal with cat fur tumbleweeds. Yes, I could do this with a swiffer, but in reality I don't.
A big worry is that cat puke would clog this little thing up. Does anyone have real-life experiences which they can relate?
The iRobot Roomba will not clean up cat vomit. If a Roomba runs over cat vomit it will not break it, but your brushes will get NASTY! This is an easy fix though, just take the brushes off and wash them with soap and water. I wash mine every once and a while just to keep them clean. The Roombas work great on pet hair and kitty litter. Just be sure that you get a brush cleaning tool. Most models come with the cleaning tool, but you can order one separately for less than $5.00. The cleaning tool makes keeping your brushes hair free easy.
Robotic Automatic Trying to understand a contests rules?
so i entered a design contest online, but one line of the rules confused me.
No mechanically reproduced mail-in entries are allowed and any use of robotic, automatic, programmed or the like entry methods will void all such entries by such methods.
does that mean that you cant use photoshop? or does it mean dont copy someone elses or something like that?
it means u cant have a program on the computer that'll do all the owrk for u. u have to design everything urself. i think it does allow for the use of photoshop, but i cant be sure

Hot Snakes: Rick Fork (vocals); John Reis (guitar, organ); Jason Kourkounis (drums).Former Drive Like Jehu members Rick Froberg and John Reis (also a member of Rocket From the Crypt) and drummer Jason Kourkounis of Delta 72 shred rock & roll to pieces on the Hot Snakes debut. Automatic Midnight, an album full of noisy guitar and dominating rhythms, hardcore thrash, and Swervedriver atmosphere, starts off with the charged-up, frenetic live wire that is "If Credit's What Matters I'll Take Credit." Throughout the rest of the rapid-fire record, Hot Snakes go from the dark, showdown sound of "10th Planet" to the slightly Sonic Youth-circa-Daydream Nation grind of "Light Up the Stars" and on through the chant-along anthem "Our Work Fills the Pews." The album finishes off with "Let It Come," a hard/soft dynamic, shout-and-holler ride that would fit well alongside At the Drive-In. Always intense, always destructive, the Hot Snakes, like Black Flag, play their rock & roll all-out with their sights set on anything or anyone in their path. ~ Charles Spano

I am looking to purchase an automatic pool cleaner, any suggestions? ?
I have an in-ground vinyl liner pool that is 17x36. At its deepest point, it is 8.5 feet deep with sloped walls and tight corners going down. (Someone called it a diving pool?) I want one that is self contained and doesn't hook up to my filter. I was originally looking at the Dolphin Diagnostic Advantage (DL2019) In-Ground Robotic Pool Cleaner but am open for suggestions. Anyone have any experience with these or can throw me some pros or cons of a different type? I am not willing to spend more than a $1,000.00.
Look at any of the Polaris products. They come in several different types of pool cleaners and price range.
With a title like Violence, the audience knew what it was in for from the get-go. Nancy Coleman plays Ann Mason, troubleshooting journalist for an illustrated newsmagazine. Going undercover, Ann infiltrates the United Defenders, a so-called patriotic organization comprised of thugs and extortionists. Preying on disillusioned war veterans, the United Defenders are able to spread their own brand of bigoted propaganda on a wide scale. In the midst of her investigation, Ann is injured in an auto accident, and as a result loses her memory. It's up to government investigator Steve Fuller (Michael O'Shea) to apprise Ann of her true identity, and to rescue her from the clutches of the villains (including such powerhouse "heavies" as Sheldon Leonard and Peter Whitney). Violence would seem to be inspired by the final sequence in RKO Radio's Till the End of Time, wherein a trio of ex-GIs dukes it out with a small band of hate-spouting "patriots". ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Solaris stars George Clooney as Chris Kelvin, a psychologist still mourning the loss of his wife Rheya (Natascha McElhone) when he's implored by a colleague named Gibarian (Ulrich Tukur) to investigate the increasingly weird goings-on at the Prometheus space station. By the time Kelvin gets there, Gibarian has committed suicide, leaving only the cryptic, babbling Snow (Jeremy Davies) and the paranoid, guarded Gordon (Viola Davis), both of whom are holed up in their respective rooms. As Kelvin interrogates the skeleton crew, he learns that they've had unwanted "visitors," apparitions of long-dead friends, family, and loved ones who are apparently being generated by the interstellar energy source Solaris. The doctor is dubious of their claims until one night he, too, is greeted by his wife Rheya (Natascha McElhone), whose death still torments him. At first skeptical of the new Rheya, Kelvin gradually becomes obsessed with her -- and with the guilt that he feels over their troubled marriage -- to the point where the others begin to fear for his sanity. Produced by James Cameron, Solaris represented director Steven Soderbergh's first screenplay credit since the independently financed Schizopolis in 1996. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

The ongoing argument about how human beings arrived on Earth is examined in this documentary. Scientist and ecologist turned filmmaker Randy Olson was born and raised in Kansas, where public schools have often been the scene of battles between advocates of intelligent design, and scientists who show evidence that supports Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Wanting to know more about both sides of the ongoing debate, Olson interviews intelligent design spokespeople (including Michael Behe, Jack Cahill, and John Calvert) and lets them speak their mind while also pointing out the many holes in their argument. Olson also chats with a number of leading scientists and colleagues who explain why evolution has become accepted the world over, but as Olson notes, the pro-evolution speakers often sound smug and arrogant when they express their views, while the intelligent design advocates generally seem pleasant and polite, if more than a little misguided. So can these two sides learn to speak to one another? Can science survive its own spokespeople? And what intelligent designer would come up with the rabbit, which has to eat its own feces to digest new food? A Flock of Dodos: The Evolution -- Intelligent Design Circus received its world premier at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
At a time when Darwin's theory of evolution is continually being challenged by proponents to Intelligent Design, the award-winning filmmakers at Nova explores the concept of evolution and ask whether or not Intelligent Design is truly a valid scientific alternative by examining the public uproar that erupted when science teachers in Dover, Pennsylvania public schools were asked to read a letter stating that life was too complex to have evolved as Darwin hypothesized. When the teachers refused to read the letter and banned together with parents to file a federal lawsuit accusing the school board of violating the constitutional separation of church and state, the resulting trial sent lawyers and expert witnesses scrambling. In this documentary, the case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District is covered through reenactments based on actual court transcripts, as well as interviews conducted with key participants and actual scientists. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This filmed version of Lily Tomlin's successful one-woman performance piece is sometimes classified as a "documentary." However, it is one hundred percent from the show and contains nothing but that show, so it could also be classified simply as a comedy/satire. In any case, it features classic characters limned by this versatile performer, whose uncanny sketches predated those by Whoopi Goldberg, Tracy Ullman or Sandra Bernhard -- all of whom walk in her footsteps. One of the repeating themes of the show is the avuncular advice of a delightfully addled bag lady who offers her services to help non-Earth aliens understand what they are seeing on this planet. All the skits tie together under the general theme of making fun of high-toned New Age rhetoric, which is a system of beliefs that proves inadequate to address the fundamental woes of everyday life. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

The New Century Vacuum Cleaners
With most people, a vacuum cleaner isn't really an inspiring machine. If you don't care about how it works, then you probably don't want to vacuum to start with. At the same time, no one wants to live in a pig sty or dirty home even.
These days however, things have began to change for the better, and people's attitudes are changing as well. Vacuum cleaners are becoming interesting and it's all thanks to James Dyson, the inventor of the Dyson vacuum cleaner.
All thanks to Dyson, vacuum cleaners have taken on a personality and life of their own. These very same tactics are even employed by the likes of Apple to successfully ploy their iMacs and iPods to the masses have now been used with tremendous results with vacuum cleaners.
Now, let's take a look at the decision that faces you when buying a flashy vacuum cleaner. First of all, you have the choice between the upright or canister versions. The upright style of vacuum cleaners will require you to use them in the traditional push and pull fashion, although the latest vacuum from Tyson, the DC15, has even turned this technology on its head with "Ball Technology" that will let you glide around your home with the greatest of ease - in any direction you please.
Canister vacuum cleaners on the other hand come with a hose attachment for great control and flexibility, as you can quickly and easily get to all of the hard to reach places. There isn't really a lot of difference between the two, and it's mainly down to your personal preference, even though the upright vacuum is best suited to larger carpets.
You should also consider the power of the motor and efficiency of the filtration system as well. Those that suffer from allergies will want to pay close attention to the filtration. Dyson for one has been very successful by marketing the benefits of its patented "Cyclone" technology, which doesn't use a bag nor does it ever get clogged up.
If you feeling really daring and adventurous and want to stay ahead of the curve, you could go for one of the very popular robotic vacuum cleaners such as the ZA01 from Electrolux or the cheaper iRobot from Roomba. While you amuse yourself or do other things, the robot will move around your home on it's own will, vacuuming your entire home until it is spotless. The robot even has the technology and intelligence to return to the base when it is running low on battery power and recharge itself.
If you want to be different and unique, a flashy vacuum cleaner is the way to go. There are many different models and types to choose from, from cheap vacuums to those that cost hundreds of dollars. All you have to do is meet your creative side halfway and let the fun begin!
With a total coverage of 2.7 million square miles and the presence of the most exotic flora and fauna on Earth, the Amazon region carries an exotic aura that delights even the most seasoned adventurers, but it also encompasses unspeakable danger. Centuries-old explorers were all too familiar with this dark side of the region, and many lost their lives to it. More recently, the Amazon caused insurmountable problems for adventurers and entrepreneurs who hoped to conquer the territory or use it to their advantage. The History Channel special Amazon Adventures hones in on several such examples, via detailed, harrowing first-person accounts, and contemporary on-location footage shot where the events occurred. This documentary recounts such Amazon adventures as that of Teddy Roosevelt, who trekked off to the Amazon after losing the presidential bid, and nearly lost his life during the journey; and Henry Ford, who made a foolish and ham-handed attempt to set up a rubber-producing operation deep in the Amazon jungle, but lost untold amounts of time and money in the process. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Two Americans abroad discover how high the price of activism can be in this drama. When a well-known environmental researcher is murdered in the Amazon jungle, an arrogant photojournalist (Craig Sheffer) joins forces with a beautiful young activist (Sandra Bullock) to find out who is responsible. Along they way, they fall in love as they discover the men responsible for the killing would be more than willing to murder again if it will keep them quiet. Fire on the Amazon was filmed in 1990, but it wasn't released until 1993, when Sandra Bullock's appearances in The Thing Called Love and Demolition Man made her a star on the rise. Legend has it that she also used gaffer's tape to insure that her breasts would not be fully exposed during the film's love scenes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
An actress struggles to hold on what's left of her career in this independent drama from director Katrin Bowen. In her mid-twenties, Jana (April Telek) was convinced she had a future in Hollywood after appearing in a number of grade-B action movies as a sexy jungle warrior. A few days before her fortieth birthday, Jana is still in Hollywood and still thinks she has a chance of at stardom, despite all evidence to the contrary. Jana supports herself working in a bar favored by actors between projects, where she's struck up a friendship with younger and prettier Li (Anna Mae Routledge) whose career is on the upswing, while Jana is urged to flirt with her male customers fro better tips by her boss. Jana still makes the rounds of auditions for roles that keep getting smaller and more demeaning, with the filmmakers usually waiting until the last moment to mention the part requires nudity. Jana's boyfriend Aron (Zak Santiago) is a struggling musician whose drug problem is getting out of control. And while Jana's agent Margaret (Gabrielle Rose) urges her to be realistic and take some dinner theater work she's lined up, Jana decides to hold out for her big screen dreams, including a project being offered by the wealthy but mysterious Calvin (William B. Davis). Amazon Falls was inspired in part by director Bowen's experiences as an actress working for Troma Studios, and her friendship with would-be starlet turned murder victim Lana Clarkson, to whom the film is dedicated. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
Another volume of the Tranquil World series, Tranquil World: On the Waters of the Amazon mixes field recordings of the Amazon's wildlife with new age instrumental music. The collection is at its best when the music doesn't overpower the field recordings, as on "In the Bird Paradise of Pcaus," "Ayahuasca -- Dance of the Shamans," and "The Dance of the Kapayo." However, cheap-sounding keyboards drown out the sounds of birds, insects, and water on several tracks, which is more than a little disappointing. While it's not the best album in the Tranquil World series, Tranquil World: On the Waters of the Amazon remains a soothing, fairly exotic collection. ~ Heather Phares
