The morning paper had yet another story about a destructive house fire—fortunately no fatalities (this time*), but the total loss of another home and another family's belongings. And like many others, the culprit appears to have been the wood stove.
So many of the home fires we experience in Vermont result from trying to keep warm. Some have to do with faulty installation of wood heating equipment; many others result from improper operation of that equipment or management of the ash.
Burning wood safely
Having used a wood stove as a primary heating source for over 30 years, I'm pleased to report that I have never had problem, though evidence in both the house we're moving out of and our new (old) house shows that other occupants have dealt with fires on multiple occasions. In fact, based on extensive charred wood I've found around the chimneys, it's very lucky that either house is still standing.
There's a reason that building codes call for specific set-backs from combustible materials and require insulated flue pipe wherever it extends through building components. With any installation of a wood stove, pellet stove, or any other wood-burning equipment, follow manufacturer recommendations carefully to ensure safe operation. (To choose an efficient, clean-burning wood or pellet stove, see our recommended products in GreenSpec.)
On the safe-operation front, a good starting point is to burn only well-seasoned wood. (I admit to a track record that hasn't always been great in this department.) With dry wood, there will be less need to operate the wood stove with the door ajar an less need to open it up to adjust the logs during operation—both potential risks.
A big part of burning wood is about storing firewood. If, like a lot of people, you have a wood shed for storing the bulk of your wood outdoors and bring in smaller amounts for storage near the wood stove, pay attention to setback from the stove and excessive accumulation of bark and detritus near the wood stove that could catch fire from a wayward ember.
Managing ashes
Most of the wood-heat-related fires that friends of mine have dealt with have to do not with the wood stove itself, but with ashes. My wife and I store the ashes that we remove from our wood stove in several metal trash cans, and then periodically we scatter those ashes on our garden and fields. We have enough storage that we typically spread the ashes only once a year—in the spring or fall.
An experience last year showed me just how risky spreading ashes can be. I must have run out of ash storage capacity so had to spread some ashes in the spring when we were still using the wood stove. I spread ashes that I had removed from the wood stove weeks earlier, so I hadn't thought there could possibly be hot coals, but after scattering a number of shovelfuls I noticed some threads of smoke from the grass where ashes had been spread.
I was easily able to deal with the few hot embers using patches of snow that remained on the ground, but it reminded me just how long coals can stay hot when buried in ashes. I'm almost sure those ashes had been in the ash can for at least two weeks.
Other fire risks in cold weather
It isn't only wood heat that creates a fire risk. Gas- and oil-fired furnaces and boilers can also malfunction, and that happens more commonly in the coldest weather when they are working the hardest.
Cold weather is also when homeowners are likely to use portable electric space heaters. These can overload electrical circuits or result in shorts in the power cord, particularly if the cords are very old or damaged by pets or abrasion. Every year I hear about fires caused by electric space heaters. Examine the cords to those heaters carefully and replace as needed.
In very cold weather we also sometimes hear about homeowners who use a kitchen oven for heat. Whether gas or electric, ovens should never be used for space heating; they aren't designed for it. When gas ovens (propane or natural gas) are used for space heat, they also introduce combustion products to the house—and all open combustion of gas introduces a lot of water vapor, which can be a problem in some situations. (I actually discourage all open combustion in houses—i.e., gas ranges, cooktops, and ovens—but the indoor air quality issues are much greater when those appliances are used for heating.)
Energy conservation is always safe
Generating heat to create warmth nearly always carries some risk. But reducing the need for supplemental almost never does.
Improved insulation, plugging holes in the building envelope, tightening up leaky windows, and other energy conservation improvements are the best strategies for ensuring safety in houses in cold weather.
Not only are superinsulated houses safer from fire because they require less heat to keep warm, but they are also safer in the event of power outages or interruptions in heating fuel—the resilience argument I'm always making (see Resilient Design: 7 Lessons from Early Adopters). You'll remain comfortable longer if you can't operate your heating system, and if you do need to operate a separate space heater, it will be for a shorter period of time.
Safe is good. And conserving energy is the best way to achieve that safety.
* The morning this article came out in our local paper, the front page of that paper had a story of a tragic house fire in my home town of Dummerston in which two people died. No word yet on the cause of the fire, but I suspect it will prove to be heating related.

Stepping up from the G10 series, the 50-inch UK-model TX-P50V10 AVForums had on hand acquitted itself pretty well. The "sheet of glass" thin design looks nice, but it was the THX picture mode that saved the day. Despite the lack of image controls that videophiles love to tweak, the THX preset delivered very good performance right out of the gate; good enough that the reviewer gave it the nod over the G10 series. The review also noted that 24p material was handled correctly, which gives us hope that Panasonic's 96Hz refresh in the US models will finally put 3:2 pulldown artifacts to rest.

You CAN be fat and fit: Scientists say that 'healthy obesity' exists and that physical fitness is more important than BMI
- Most people - including the medical community - equate lower weight with better health, but researchers say there is such a thing as 'healthy obesity'
- Said BMI is too crude a tool to use when assessing someone's health
- They believe concept should be more clearly defined so that overweight people at a higher risk of disease can get the treatment they need
- But added that overweight people should attempt to lose weight as they are still at higher risk of disease in the long-term
If you've over-indulged this summer, don't despair – because it is possible to be fat and fit.
Doctors say being overweight will not necessarily send people to an early grave because such a thing as 'healthy obesity' exists.
In fact, up to one in four of those labelled obese are lucky enough to be fat and fit. They are physically fit, have normal blood pressure and process sugar easily, despite their generous proportions.
Celebrities including Nigella Lawson (left) and Lisa Riley (right) have long said that it possible to carry extra weight and still be fit. Researchers now believe this is true, defining it as 'metabolically healthy obesity'
Studies show that 'sufferers' of healthy obesity have a lower risk of various ills than others who are similarly overweight.
One 15-year-long Italian study found that the 'healthy obese' were no more likely to develop heart disease or cancer – or die at any given time – than those of normal weight.
In other studies, being fat and fit cut the risk of ill health, even if it did not completely remove it. The figures come from German experts who trawled years of research from around the world into the topic.
acknowledgement will no doubt be welcome news for the likes of cook
Nigella Lawson and singer Adele, who have long argued it is possible to
be fat and fit.
Writing in a medical journal published by the respected Lancet group, the medics said accurately identifying those who are fat and fit would cut the bill for obesity treatment.
Adele said she would only lose weight if it affected her health and so far, she said, it hasn't
Gastric bypass and banding operations cost taxpayers up to £85million a year, as growing numbers of people become hugely overweight.
Targeting treatment to those who would benefit the most could ensure taxpayers' money is best spent. The researchers said: 'Potentially scarce resources can be more effectively tailored … Some prevention and treatment strategies can be very expensive and time-consuming.'
Genes are thought to be key, but working out why some of our bodies resist the toll of excess weight could also lead to treatments to improve the health of the obese who are not fortunate enough to fall into the healthy category. Doctors normally gauge whether a patient's size is a health concern by using their weight and height to calculate their body mass index, or BMI.
But relying on BMI is controversial, as it does not distinguish between muscle and fat, meaning some athletes are classified as obese.
The German researchers said using BMI alone was 'insufficient' and other factors such as waist size, blood pressure and where fat is stored in the body needed to be taken into account.
But much more research is needed before any formula is ready for use in doctor's surgeries. And in the meantime, the researchers say that the obese should still think about losing weight.
The team from the German Institute of Human Nutrition and the University of Tubingen said: 'Prevention of obesity through healthy diet and physical activity should be widely promoted.'
Writing in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology journal, they warned that not everyone who is 'healthy obese' will stay that way.
Dr Ian Campbell, a GP and medical director of charity Weight Concern, said it made 'perfect sense' that some people could be fat but healthy. But he warned: 'The science is not yet precise. There is always a risk that you will develop problems later.'

Marketers that haven't factored mobile into their marketing mix or digital ecosystem need to start doing this in 2014. Here's why.
Snippet of a conversation about what to do in the coming year:
"We are seeing an upswing of behavior on [insert-word-here] but these are still early days so we can look at implementing this next year." Next thing you know agencies, communication specialists and [insert-word-here] gurus are activated on urgent notice to turn around a roll-out plan for [insert-word-here].
If you've been in the industry long enough you'll find this a familiar situation that has repeated itself with the Internet, email marketing, search, social media and soon, content marketing, mobile and tablets.
Marketers that haven't factored mobile into their marketing mix or digital ecosystem need to start doing this in 2014.
In a report from IDC in November 2013, APAC is projected to have the largest market share of smartphones in the world by the end of 2013 at 52.3 percent. The next closest is Europe with a projected market share of 18 percent by the end of 2013.
Facebook's recent earnings results further confirm that mobile is not just a trend but the norm.

Marin Software reports a 187 percent higher CTR (click-through rate) on mobile in Facebook and a lower CPC (cost per click) by up to 22 percent confirming that mobile users are clicking on advertising content.
What are smartphone users in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan doing on their devices? Here are some quick takeaways from Our Mobile Planet.
Over 40 percent of Indonesians who own a smartphone aged 35-44 research for home furnishing on their devices and then proceed to purchase these offline. In fact this group does the most amount of research on their smartphones for things like electronics, jewellery and clothing, beating out every other age group in China, Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

Over 50 percent of people in China who own smartphones from 18 to 44 research clothing and apparel purchases before using their computers to buy.

Over 25 percent of Malaysians who own smartphones from 18 to 44 do their leisure travel research on their devices before using their computers to buy.

Over 25 percent of people in China who own smartphone from 25-34 do research on clothing, entertainment items, cell phone services and tickets and buy these items on their devices.

The numbers and behaviors above show that mobile is becoming entrenched in Asian markets making 2014 a good year to start making mobile learning a priority.
So why not start to find out what your customers are looking for on their devices and what influences their decision to buy or not to buy from you?

Water bowsers to be sent out to St Blazey
South West Water to send out mobile drinking water units as water supplies in St Blazey still affected following two burst water mains.
South West Water to send out mobile drinking water units as water supplies in St Blazey still affected following two burst water mains.
Hundreds of homes in Cornwall have been without clean water since yesterday.
South West Water delivered water bowsers to St Blazey and Par this afternoon after murky water started coming out of the taps. They say it's caused by a burst main and are working to repair the damage.
Susan is a resident in St Blazey Gate and says elderly people in the area have been left with no way of getting water:
The world premiere of a major new musical, The Wind in the Willows, will be staged in Plymouth next year.
Written by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes the Theatre Royal will be he first venue to show the new adaption of the children's story book.
The Producer Jamie Hendry has also announced that he will be sending copies of Kenneth Grahame's novel to every school and library in Plymouth saying "I am a firm believer that our most classic novels should be freely available for everyone to enjoy. I hope that readers will fall in love with Grahame's story as much as I did, which ultimately led to the commissioning of this musical."
Performances will run at the Theatre Royal Plymouth from 8th October 2016.
A man was stabbed 'multiple' times after a fight outside a Plymouth nightclub.
The incident happened at 5:30am outside the Crash Manor, Union Street.
He was taken to the Derriford Hospital and released after receiving medical treatment for what police describe as 'superficial' stab wounds.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
South West Water say water containers are also heading to St Mary's Road, St Blazey Road and Old Roselyon Road as supplies to water continue to be affected.
South West Water has sent a mobile water unit to Landreath Place, St Blazey.
People are being advised to take their own containers to collect water from the container and to boil the water before using it.
A party company has launched a recruitment drive for men after reporting a shortage of 'butlers in the buff'.
Website Butlers in the Buff said it has struggled to recruit handsome young men in the South West, forcing them to turn down bookings in Devon and Cornwall.
Bosses are asking women in the area to encourage 'hot hunks' to apply for the roles which will see them wear the trademark bow tie, collar, cuffs, apron - and nothing else.
The company is holding online auditions throughout October.
Tickets for next year's Glastonbury Festival have sold out in just 32 minutes.
Emily Eavis took to twitter to congratulate those lucky enough to get a ticket:
It meant cause for celebration for some...
...and disappointment for others:

I need a sustainable landscape designed for my residential property located in Sarpy County Nebraska. The 1/2 acre property has a very unique shape with multiple elevations. I'm looking for low cost ideas for landscaping the entire property, with special consideration for the backyard which backs to a public golf course. I'm looking to incorporate as much hardscape as possible, or low maintenance as possible throughout the design.
Most of the work will be completed by myself and implemented in phases that might last several seasons or years, as time and money dictate.
I'm looking to populate the space with native or near native species whenever possible. A sprinkle system will be installed but does not need to be part of the design.
The attached sketch is a rough rendition of the property.

Any idea who was the last Power 5 coach fired after one year that wasn't for any off-field stuff?
Depends on how you're using the Reddi-wip.......
Question- What does "Jump on the trade gun" even mean?
Larry Brown gon' Larry Brown.
Yay. We're 10 points better than the worst team in the history of CFB.
The refs are taking a beating lately. Literally.
Only if he'd quickly suffer the same fate.
Not what I was expecting.
I'm not sure I'd even put him above Duncan.
If we'd have scored more points we would've won.
Those are some depressing numbers in that article.
Should've gone with "No doubt about it" because thread title.
That's a poll?
I'm thinking Chip Kelly might be available.
Hopefully we kept the receipt for the SEZ, we can return it, and put the money towards buying out contracts.
Well it's better than versus Power 5.
Throw in Berman doing PxP and it's nearly unwatchable. And it really is amazing some of the calls NFL refs miss.
A hotel is getting married? Where's that crazy defender of marriage who just got out of jail last weekend?
Yeah, he's closing the gate after the horse got out.
Hence the "and" in ronandkay.

Trisha Leslie Skincare
At Trisha Leslie Skincare, all it takes to shrink wrinkles is a light. The LED pulsed light used during Revitalight light therapy shines over the skin in a polychromatic sequence, sending rays of various wavelengths deep into the skin. These rays heat the skin not only to impart it with a fresh glow, but also to expand cells so that they fill fine lines and leave the skin looking smoother. The Revitalight treatment represents many of the skincare options offered at Trisha Leslie, though the staff blends both these high-tech tools and basic techniques to help rejuvenate the skin. The oxygen facial mists the skin in its namesake element, and the LamProbe eliminates surface imperfections, such as whiteheads, broken capillaries, and the barcodes that your parents forgot to remove when they bought you. An all-natural tint made of vegetables helps darken eyelashes. The staff also specializes in exfoliating chemical peels, men's skincare, makeup applications, and waxing.

α-Linolenic acid (18 : 3n-3) intake and linoleic acid (18 : 2n-6) intake have been associated with lower rates of CHD, though results have not been consistent. The relationship of these fatty acids with incident heart failure (HF) is not well established. We examined the hypothesis that women with higher intakes of 18 : 3n-3 and 18 : 2n-6 would have lower rates of HF hospitalisation and mortality. We measured 18 : 3n-3 and 18 : 2n-6 intake in 36 234 Swedish Mammography Cohort participants aged 48–83 years using FFQ and followed participants through Swedish inpatient and cause-of-death registers from 1 January 1998 until 31 December 2006. Cox models were used to calculate incidence rate ratios (RR) and 95 % CI. Because of multicollinearity, 18 : 3n-3 and 18 : 2n-6 were examined separately. Over 9 years, 596 women were hospitalised and fifty-five died due to HF. In models accounting for age and other covariates, the RR for HF comparing the top quintile of 18 : 3n-3 (median 1·50 g/d) with the bottom quintile (median 0·88 g/d) was 0·91 (95 % CI 0·71, 1·17, P trend = 0·41). The RR comparing the top quintile of 18 : 2n-6 (median 7·8 g/d) with the bottom quintile (median 4·6 g/d) was 1·14 (95 % CI 0·88, 1·46, P trend = 0·36). We did not find evidence for the interaction of 18 : 3n-3 and 18 : 2n-6 with each other or with long-chain n-3 fatty acids. In conclusion, these data do not support our hypothesis that 18 : 3n-3 and 18 : 2n-6 are associated with HF. However, these results may not be generalisable to populations with higher intakes of 18 : 3n-3.

We really lucked out with this trip. The weather wasn't great so it was a prefect day to leave the city and drink good wine. There were three of us in all which we could not have scripted and our guide, Marion, was absolutely incredible. She was so very knowledgeable about the area, the vineyards and the whole process involved in growing wine,harvesting, and everything after that. We were so fortunate to have her and you are extremely lucky to have her as an employee.

Excellent tour. Our guide Brist? was excellent. The wineries we went to were very good. Especially the last one, in the Margaux district. I learned so much from the hostess at the last winery. She was very knowledgable about the history of the vineyard as well S the production of the wine. It was a great day all around.
Have recommended it to friends who are visiting the Bordeaux area.

Excellent - enjoyable day, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any question, the wineries were very welcoming however the tour is probably better suited to people who are very keen on wine and the wine making process rather than a novice.

This tour was excellent. It included visiting 3 beautiful chateaux and the wine presented for tasting was sublime. We had lunch at one of those beautiful chateaux had to pay for the lunch. The overall tour guide Brice was extremely good and knowledgeable. Each winery had its own guides and they also were very good explaining the history of their winery and its specific wine making process. Highly recommended.

Marion was quite knowledgeable of the entire wine-making process and was extremely patient in answering my many questions. Her command of the English language is excellent and her cheerful and playful attitude was refreshing and most welcomed.
