Hamm gets Don Draper wax figure
Jon Hamm came face-to-face with his wax figure at New York's Madame Tussauds - and promptly took a selfie.
"That's a no-brainer. I'm probably not done doing that either," he said.
The wax figure is decked out in a debonair-looking grey suit. Ironically, Hamm, who stars in hit TV drama Mad Men, arrived at the unveiling wearing a grey suit.
"This is happenstance, but it is kind of crazy how kind of identical we decided to dress. I'm referring to him as a human being as if he dressed himself," he said.
Hamm said he posed for the figure last year and it has taken months to craft the waxwork.
As the star posed for photos next to the figure, he also joked about the stoic expression on the mannequin saying "a lot of people would say this kind of describes my acting. A lot of waxy stares, a lot of silent brooding."
Hamm was joined by his long-time girlfriend, actress Jennifer Westfeldt, who kept marvelling at how uncanny the figure looked like him.
The 43-year-old actor is in the middle of a publicity blitz for his new movie, Million Dollar Arm, which opens on May 16 in the US.
Mad Men is airing its seventh and final season.

CHANTECAILLEA philanthropic French brand known for using uniquely high concentrations of natural botanicals, Chantecaille's skincare, makeup and fragrances are the epitome of luxury.
Sylvie Chantecaille, brand founder, was born into a family of art collectors and raised with an appreciation for beauty. In the 1970s she moved to New York and started a small company of carefully edited cosmetics with Diane von Furstenberg. With several years' experience, combined with invaluable contacts within the industry, she later began the business bearing her name. Supported by the acumen of her husband and artistic insights of her children, Sylvie transformed the brand into a revolutionary and internationally renowned skincare and cosmetics brand.
For a brand to be considered truly premium, every aspect of production needs to be considered, from formulation, to feel on the skin – and this is where Chantecaille excels. Palettes are objects of beauty in themselves, with ergonomic curves and materials made for touching (not to mention the highly pigmented, blendable product inside). Plus, the ethical beliefs at the heart of the brand translate into beauty with a purpose – profits from multiple products are donated towards worthy wildlife and environmental causes.

Subscribe To Gawker Fires Back At Quentin Tarantino Updates
I've already subscribed
There are two sides to every story. Now, Gawker would like the public to hear its take.
Yesterday, we reported that Quentin Tarantino filed a lawsuit against Gawker Media and its site Defamer for publishing a link to the writer-director's unpublished screenplay for the Western The Hateful Eight. Once the screenplay hit the Web, Tarantino immediately pulled the project's plug, shelving Eight and sulking over the betrayal. He claimed he only shared the script with a handful of people, yet it somehow landed online and, later, on Defamer. Tarantino filed the lawsuit.
Monday, in a six-point stance, Gawker fired back. Right off the bat, the site explains that they did not "leak" Tarantino's screenplay. They reported that the script had found its way online to sites like Scribd and AnonFiles. (The script has since been removed from those sites, as you might imagine.)
The site then turned the tables on QT, stating that the director "wanted The Hateful Eight to be published on the internet." Quoting the director in a Deadline story, Gawker notes that Tarantino recently said:
I do like the fact that everyone eventually posts it, gets it and reviews it on the net. Frankly, I wouldn't want it any other way. I like the fact that people like my shit, and that they go out of their way to find it and read it."
The post quickly collapses into a battle of he-said/she-said, with Gawker trying to get off on a technicality, because the site claims it didn't physically put Tarantino's screenplay online, but merely linked to the existing copy and let everyone else know where to find it. They claim that they are NOT being sued for copyright infringement, and that they published the link to the script "because it was news."
Defamer covers what people in Hollywood are talking about. … News of the fact that [the script] existed on the internet advanced a story that Tarantino himself had launched, and our publication of the link was a routine and unremarkable component of our job: making people aware of news and information about which they are curious."
Now it will be up to the courts to decide. Is it really a slippery slope? Filmmakers like Tarantino rely on the Web to generate fan interest in their upcoming projects. And while Defamer (and Gawker) did NOT publish the actual script, linking directly to copies of the work is just as bad. It's unethical… but is it illegal?
It will be interesting to see how the courts respond. There are too many Web sites dedicated to hunting down, publishing and critiquing unpublished screenplays. Do studios and filmmakers sometimes "leak" these works to get fan feedback? Without question. But if we eventually get a law preventing such online give-and-take, what method will both parties use in the future?

BATON ROUGE, La. - When Eric Reid arrived at LSU, the older players made one thing clear:
He was expected to contribute right away on defense. There was to be no drop-off from the guys who came before him.
Now, he passes it on.
"We tell the freshmen the exact same thing," said Reid, a junior safety and one of the leaders of the Tigers' defense. "We don't want them to use youth as an excuse. You come to practice, practice hard and get the job done."
The same could be said of top-ranked Alabama.
After last season, the Crimson Tide had six players off its national championship defense - considered one of the best in college football history - selected in the NFL draft. Three of them went in the first round. Another was taken early in the second.
For most programs, that sort of exodus would have led to a major rebuilding job. Not at Alabama (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference), which again leads the nation in all four of the major defensive categories.
Seemingly just as dominant as it was with players such as Mark Barron, Dont'a Hightower and Dre Kirkpatrick.
"I'm not really surprised," said one of the replacements, linebacker C.J. Mosley. "Great players left last year, but we had players that could fill their roles. So far, we're getting the job done. It's all about communication because we've got the athletes and we've got the players who can play with anybody in the nation."
Defense isn't just a vital part of the game for these two schools.
It's who they are.
It's why they seem to meet every year with so much on the line.
This year is no exception. Alabama will travel to Baton Rouge on Saturday night for what is essentially a playoff game in the national championship race. The winner will have the inside track to a spot in the SEC title game, which has become a routine conduit to the BCS finale.
Despite plenty of inconsistency on offense, LSU (7-1, 3-1) is right in the thick of things again largely because of its defense. While not quite as dominant statistically as Alabama, the Tigers are certainly in the same ballpark, ranking in the top 10 nationally in points allowed, total yards, rushing yards and passing yards.
"It's a tradition that was established long before we got here," said LSU linebacker Kevin Minter, the team's leading tackler. "It's fundamental here. It's what we do. We play hard-nosed, hit-you-in-the-mouth defense. Both teams do."
Like Alabama, LSU lost a number of top defensive players off last year's unit, which carried the Tigers all the way to the national championship game before they lost to the Crimson Tide 21-0.
Cornerback Morris Claiborne and defensive tackle Michael Brockers were both selected in the first round of the NFL draft, while safety Brandon Taylor went in the third. Then, the Tigers lost perhaps their most dominant player on either side of the line, cornerback and Heisman finalist Tyrann Mathieu. The Honey Badger was reportedly kicked off the team for several failed drug tests, and he's spending the year away from the field, trying to get his life in order.
Despite those heavy losses, especially in the secondary, there hasn't been much of a slide. LSU ranks fourth in the nation, allowing just 148.5 yards per game through the air. Tharold Simon and freshman Jalen Mills have filled those big shoes at cornerback, each coming up with a pair of interceptions. LSU ranks eighth nationally with 13 picks as team.
"Their secondary still looks good," Alabama receiver Kenny Bell said. "They still have a good defense. I feel like this is going to be the one of the best defenses we've gone against all year. We've just got to keep working hard ... and get better so we can be able to execute against this defense. Because, you know, they are good. Their front four is very good and their secondary is real good."
When you consider that Crimson Tide quarterback A.J. McCarron hasn't thrown an interception all season, the play of LSU's secondary becomes even more important. In last year's regular-season victory at Tuscaloosa, a 9-6 slugfest, Reid came up with a huge pick right at the goal line. The Tigers would like nothing better than a repeat Saturday night.
"Hopefully we can force him to make a bad throw and see if we can get an interception," Reid said. "That definitely would be nice. It would give us some momentum for our offense."
LSU's offense needs all the help it can get. In two meetings last season, the Tigers never got to the end zone against the Crimson Tide. It looks like they're facing another daunting challenge.
Robert Lester has three interceptions, and five other players have two. Mosley is the closer in the middle of coach Nick Saban's 3-4 defense, leading the team with 65 tackles. Ed Stinson spends a lot of time in opposing backfields, leading the team with 7.5 tackles behind the line.
Saban, along with defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, gets a bulk of the credit for assembling a defensive scheme that isn't that far off from the pros are doing. LSU has its own defensive guru, coordinator John Chavis, the man they call "Chief" and a must on any list of the nation's top assistant coaches.
"I feel like it's great coaching," Minter said. "Bama obviously has great coaches with Saban and Kirby over there. I've always admired them. We have Chief over here. They're all great at developing talent. Both teams always find a way to reload, regardless of who leaves."

Broken Hill High School Students Learn History and Create History
11 December 2012
Following on from a series of visits to Broken Hill, last week the Department of History hosted a group of twenty Year 12 students from Willyama High School at the University of Sydney. While here, the students undertook a series of activities at the Macleay and Nicholson Museums, the Rare Books Room at Fisher Library, and learned about the history of the Quadrangle and the University. They also had some non-history fun - enjoying rock climbing at The Ledge and evenings at Manly Beach, in the City, and in Chinatown.
Courtesy of a pioneering partnership with the City of Sydney, the students also got to explore the historic Rocks while participating in a new program aimed at mapping all the historical plaques in the City to create a new database for public use. One of the organisers of the visit, Associate Professor Michael McDonnell of the History Department, said that the students "not only learned about the history of the City, but got to create it too."
They are one of the first groups to help the City take stock of its own history. There are thousands of historic markers and plaques around the City, but there is no central registry of them. The City program will create an interactive database of these plaques so that users can search for specific names or places and then go out and view the plaques. The students first had to go out and find some of the plaques. With the help of postgraduate history student volunteers, they then took photos and notes about the plaques and marked them on maps. This information will be uploaded to the City website. When people search for the plaques in years to come, they will see all this information, as well as the names of the Willyama High School students who compiled the notes.
City of Sydney Public Art Program Manager, Eva Rodriguez Riestra, said that the students' work will be "hugely beneficial for the City in the years to come."
"Often many people call in who want to find a plaque about one of their relatives. We can also much more easily replace vandalised and stolen plaques since we'll have a good record of them now."
Historian Michael McDonnell agreed: "The program really marks a turning point in the historical documentation of the City, and it is great that the students will be a historic part of that moment."
While at the University, the Willyama students got to stay at Women's College, thanks to the generosity of Jane Williamson and the College, and were treated to packed lunches, a barbecue, and rock climbing with the support of the Social Inclusion Unit's Regional Program.
"It really was a team effort," said McDonnell, "and the amount of support for the program around the University has been amazing, and crucial to the program."
The students were welcomed by Jennifer Barrett, Pro-Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and Regional Program Project Officer Trish Di-Masi, and then learned about the University and the programs available to regional students to help them get to University by Victoria Loy of the Compass team.
The high school students also got shown around campus by current history students and talked about the challenges - and opportunities - at University. Craig Barker from the University Museums then gave them an introduction to the Nicholson Museum, and the fascinating history of the Quadrangle, while Jude Philps and Jan Brazier of the Macleay Museum showed them some of the many rural town photographs of Charles Kerry, and asked students to think about the kinds of photographs they might take of Broken Hill today.
Sara Hilder, the Exhibitions Coordinator of the Rare Books and Special Collections Library introduced students to some samples from the collection including 16th century music books and 20th century comics. Sara also managed to find newspaper accounts of recruiting drives in Broken Hill for the utopian community of 'New Australia' in Paraguay in the 1890s. The students were amazed to find that at least five people from their own town signed up for the colony, and pledged to try and find out what happened to them.
The diversity of the program also helped the students see the range of studies on offer at the University. Several noted that the visit inspired them to find out more about studying history, but also archaeology, architecture, sports science, and even the history of special and rare books. Many also reported that the visit was helpful in thinking more about the options available to them after they finish school. And some who had been to Sydney before said they had seen the city - and the University - "in a very different way" this time.
Michael McDonnell said he was really pleased with the three-day visit, and noted that he and the Willyama teachers are already making plans to do repeat the trip next year. Despite the planning and effort to come - over 17 hours on buses and trains each way - teachers Emelia Nairn, Ross Mackay and Ingrid Seck all agreed it was well worth it.
McDonnell concurred, noting: "Though the teachers emphasise how important these trips are for the students in Broken Hill, we think it is also important for those of us here. The students push us to think very differently about our view of the world, and about the University. They compel us to think what a truly inclusive University might look like."

Allergens and Indoor Air Quality
You may not have thought about the quality of the air you breathe in your home, but we have. There are many sources of indoor air pollution in homes such as chemical emissions from wallpaper, carpets and furniture. Fortunately, there are a few simple steps that you can take to improve indoor air quality as well as to reduce many allergens that become trapped in our homes due to today's airtight construction.
Avoiding Allergens in the Home
No matter what the time of year, allergens can be present in our homes. While they are difficult to remove completely, we can take steps to limit their impact.
Dust or House Mites
If dust or house mites are a problem in your home, it's important to:
- Vacuum carpets and floors regularly to limit the buildup of dust and dirt. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter helps keep dust from escaping into the air (HEPA filters are capable of trapping particles as small as a tenth of a micrometer).
- Wash bedding, including comforters and quilts, regularly. Draperies and blinds should be washed or vacuumed several times a year.
- Clean or change the filters in your home's heating and cooling system regularly so that allergens and dust particles are not recirculated throughout your home.
- When replacing your washer or dryer, consider purchasing units that have sanitizing or allergen reducing features, such as those certified to NSF Protocol P351.
Mold is another allergen found in many homes. It can grow any place where moisture is allowed to accumulate, including basements, attics and bathrooms. Mold growth often looks like spots, can be many different colors and may have an earthy or musty smell. If you find mold growing in your home:
- Clean up the mold and fix the moisture problem. If you plan to clean up the mold yourself, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using a commercial product specifically intended for treating mold or scrubbing the affected area with a solution of no more than one cup of bleach in one gallon of water. Wear protective gloves and eye wear and provide adequate ventilation. Soft building materials such as drywall are not cleanable and will need to be replaced.
- To reduce the potential for mold growth:
- Make sure your attic is properly ventilated. Fix any roof, window or pipe leaks promptly.
- Install a properly vented exhaust fan in each bathroom. Let the bathroom fan continue to run for about 10 minutes after showering to help remove excess water and steam from the bath area.
Cleaning Products
Many cleaning products contain added fragrances or other ingredients that can trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. When purchasing cleaning products:
- Read the label and be sure to follow product usage instructions. Avoid using products that display warnings on the label, such as "caution" or "use in well-ventilated area" as well as those that contain added fragrance.
- In the U.S., consider using green cleaners reviewed under the EPA's Safer Choice label (formerly known as the Design for the Environment or DfE program). Products bearing the Safer Choice label are checked to make sure they use ingredients that line up on the "green" end of the health and environmental spectrum but without sacrificing product performance. Visit the EPA's website to learn more about their Safer Choice label.

David Dermer/Kent State Athletics
1. Nate Terhune, NT, Kent State
Particulars: 6-4, 270, junior
Buzz: Terhune broke his left leg near the ankle in a Sept. 14 loss at LSU. Exactly four weeks later, following a quick rehab after surgery to implant a metal plate and some pins, he played at Ball State (Oct. 12). He didn't partake of painkillers during his rehab: "If I took them, they told me I wouldn't be able to lift weights." On Nov. 19, he hurdled over a defender to score on a 61-yard run (more of a rumble, actually) on a fake punt in what turned into a rout of Ohio. It's impressive enough that the guy who did the hurdling -- on a fake punt, no less -- is a nose tackle. That he did that about nine weeks after suffering a broken ankle? That's toughness, folks.
AP Photo/Nick Wass
2. Keenan Reynolds, QB, Navy
Particulars: 5-11, 195, junior
Buzz: First off, you have to be incredibly mentally tough to play football -- or any sport, really -- at a service academy. Think about the mental discipline required to balance the classwork (no one is coasting through the academies in "hmmm, I think I will take this because it won't take much time" classes), the drills associated with being in the military and all the practices. And in Reynolds' case, he plays football at a high level (103.5 rushing yards per game and 31 rushing TDs last season; he is one of just four players in NCAA history with 30-plus rushing TDs in a season). In addition, as a quarterback in Navy's triple-option offense, he gets hit on, oh, about 99 percent of the Midshipmen's running plays, whether he keeps the ball or not. And at his size, the hits add up. Yet he keeps going and going.
AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill
3. Myles Jack, LB/RB, UCLA
Particulars: 6-1, 230, sophomore
Buzz: That he is on this list should surprise no one who follows college football. He plays linebacker and running back -- and at a high level -- for the Bruins. This isn't going two ways in high school; this is going two ways -- and at a high level -- in the Pac-12. That's, uh, tough to do. He was the league's offensive and defensive freshman of the year last season, doling out punishment as a runner and as a tackler.
AP Photo/Thomas Graning
4. Serderius Bryant, LB, Mississippi
Particulars: 5-9, 215, junior
Buzz: Rebels free safety Cody Prewitt receives more acclaim for his big hits -- he almost eviscerated Vanderbilt WR Jordan Matthews in last season's opener -- but Bryant deserves the honor. He's a 5-9 linebacker (and the 5-9 is his listed height, with emphasis on "listed") who starts in the SEC. Bryant's nickname is "Bird," which he picked up in high school in the Orlando area for the way he flew around the field making tackles and big hits. Yes, despite his size, a guy nicknamed "Bird" really lays the wood. You have to be tough to be a 5-9 linebacker in the SEC who makes big hits.
AP Photo/Pat Sullivan
5. Derrick Mathews, LB, Houston
Particulars: 6-0, 214, senior
Buzz: Mathews obviously is not very big, but, man, is he productive. He has started all 39 games since stepping foot on campus (he never redshirted) and has made 348 tackles in his career -- the most of any returning player in the nation. That's a lot of tackles for a linebacker who weighs 214 pounds. Mathews has had at least 106 stops in each of his three seasons and has had 14 games with double-digit tackles. He also has averaged 13 tackles for loss per season.

6. Jared Tevis, SS, Arizona
Particulars: 5-10, 195, senior
Buzz: Tevis began his career as a hometown walk-on and has developed into one of the most productive -- and biggest-hitting -- safeties in the Pac-12. He was bothered by a badly sprained ankle in 2012, his first season as a starter, but still managed to play in 11 games and finish third on the team with 82 tackles; he also forced four fumbles. Last season, he missed two games with a knee injury but again managed to finish third on the team in tackles, with 82, and he forced three fumbles. Tevis should contend for all-league honors this fall.

7. Denzel Perryman, LB, Miami (Fla.)
Particulars: 6-0, 242, senior
Buzz: Miami's defense has been, to be kind, awful the past two seasons, but don't blame Perryman. He might be the only current UM defender who would've fit in on the defenses in the Hurricanes' glory days. He is a physical, aggressive player who makes up for his lack of size (he's listed at 6-0, but he's not that tall) with tremendous instincts, and frequently just knocks the snot out of opposing players. He led Miami with 104 tackles and was an All-ACC pick last season. Look for that tackle total to go up this fall, as Perryman has moved to middle linebacker from an outside spot.

8. Shaq Thompson, LB, Washington
Particulars: 6-2, 231, junior
Buzz: He was considered the No. 1 safety and one of the top five prospects overall nationally in the 2012 recruiting class, but he hasn't played that position with the Huskies. Instead, he started every game at nickel back as a true freshman in 2012, showing off his coverage skills, then gained 20 pounds and moved to linebacker last season. He should vie for All-Pac-12 honors this fall at linebacker, and he also expects to see time at running back; he showed well at that position in limited action in spring practice. Thompson was a standout baseball player in high school in Fresno, Calif., and played rookie ball in the Boston Red Sox organization before his freshman year at Washington.

9. James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh
Particulars: 6-2, 230, sophomore
Buzz: Conner was a star running back and defensive end in high school in Erie, Pa., and most schools recruited him as a defensive end. Pitt liked him as a running back, though, and while sharing time at tailback as a true freshman last season, he rushed for a team-high 799 yards and eight TDs. He doesn't have much burst, but he is a punishing inside runner (five of his TD runs covered three or fewer yards), a throwback of sorts to the 1970s-style back. But Conner didn't abandon his defensive roots. He saw some time as a pass-rushing defensive end and drew a holding call late in the game to help Pitt subdue Bowling Green in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.

10. Karlos Williams, RB, Florida State
Particulars: 6-1, 219, senior
Buzz: Williams was a national top-10 recruit out of high school near Orlando and played safety in his two first seasons with the Seminoles. But while he is an excellent athlete, he didn't have the necessary instincts to start at that position, so he was moved to tailback early in the 2013 season. The move paid off, when Williams was the team's second-leading rusher, and it will really pay off this fall. If a person can be said to run "mean," Williams does it, as he almost seems to want to inflict punishment on would-be tacklers. Despite his weight, he possesses breakaway speed. Williams needs to improve his blocking and receiving ability, but his upside -- like his toughness -- is enormous.
Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
11. Karl Joseph, FS, West Virginia
Particulars: 5-10, 196, junior
Buzz: Joseph might not necessarily be the free safety you want in pass coverage in a key situation, but if you want a tough guy to deliver a big hit, you couldn't do much better. He lacks consistency and frequently spends too much time looking for the big hit -- but the dude hits a ton. He thrives in run support, which shouldn't be a surprise given his physical nature, and has forced four fumbles in his two seasons.
AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall
12. Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa
Particulars: 6-5, 320, senior
Buzz: Scherff is a top-shelf athlete for a guy his size, but make no mistake, it's his toughness that makes him a special talent. He is an absolute mauler in the running game, and woe to the defensive back who is in his path when he's downfield looking for a target to blow up. He also is a solid pass protector who uses every means at his disposal, including -- wink wink, nudge nudge -- his hands to keep opposing defenders off his quarterback.
AP Photo/Steve Helber
13. Kyshoen Jarrett, SS, Virginia Tech
Particulars: 5-11, 191, senior
Buzz: He was recruited as a corner and was a reserve at that position as a true freshman in 2011. He was moved to strong safety during the spring of 2012 and has started all 26 games since. Jarrett played with a sore shoulder in 2012, then had labrum surgery after the season. In addition to being a big hitter and solid cover guy -- especially for a strong safety -- Jarrett is a good punt returner. The Hokies annually have one of the best secondaries in the nation, and Jarrett will be a key component in one of the nation's top five defensive backfields this fall.
Daniel Kubus
14. Tim Edmond, RB, Ohio
Particulars: 5-foot-11, 235 pounds, senior
Buzz: Edmond was a running back in junior college, but was converted to linebacker upon enrolling at Ohio in 2012. He was a reserve that season, then moved back to offense last season and became a short-yardage back. Edmond also was a special-teams stalwart last season, making nine tackles. He is a workout warrior, too, winning the "Iron Bobcat" award, which is the team's highest strength and conditioning honor. He bench presses 381 pounds, squats 528 pounds and power cleans 296 pounds.

Handicapping Tonight's 'Top Chef Las Vegas' Season Six Finale
Note: Serious Eater Sara Levine (no relation to Ed) has been a dedicated Top Chef viewer all season. She shares her thoughts on who will win it all tonight.
While Top Chef: Las Vegas may have lacked the outside-the-kitchen, Real World-style drama of seasons past—making out or force-shaving cheftestants heads—this season boasted Bravo's most impressive roundup of culinary talent, by far.
That's why tonight's finale, held at Cyrus restaurant in Napa, is so tough to handicap. I'd be thrilled to have a bite of anything prepared by a member of the final three: friendly, Muppet-resembling Kevin Gillespie and the stone-faced Brothers Voltaggio (Bryan and Michael), who have both been cracking a few more smiles of late.
No one squeaked their way into the finale this time—with the exception of one win from Jen, who went home last week, these three guys won all of the other elimination challenges in Vegas. The odds, after the jump.
2 to 1: Kevin Gillespie
The red-headed, bushy-bearded Atlantan won me over from the start (and no, not just because I love Muppets). He's kept his composure as a total gentleman the whole season through--but he's also a formidable competitor.
Kevin's food is unfussy and always sounds absolutely delicious, especially when it involves pig (a passion that's tattooed on his arm). He's also proven his versatility by winning the vegetarian challenge—vegan Natalie Portman loved his duo of mushrooms with smoked kale and turnip puree.
This is the kind of food Tom Colicchio can get behind--it fits the mold of his own style at Craft—and we all know that don Colicchio is the man in charge at Judges Table. When Kevin won the inaugural elimination challenge this season, Padma pointed out that in four out of five past seasons, the winner of that first challenge takes it all in the end.
Will Kevin keep that trend going? I think so.
3 to 1: Michael Voltaggio
The younger BroVo is this season's bad boy, at least according to Bravo's editing. He's gunning for his brother and has made a few snarky comments about Kevin's food along the way. ("Kevin's food is what I make on my day off.") Ugh.
Yet we can't argue with the fact that little BroVo is a seriously talented and uber-creative chef. He's sure to bring a bag of tricks and gadgets and go out on a limb (or several) in the final "Cook Us The Best Meal You've Ever Cooked" challenge.
Michael's risks usually end well: banana polenta with asparagus dipped in gelled mustard won raves; so did his deconstructed Caesar with parmesan gel. But as past seasons have shown, molecular gastronomy needs to be executed flawlessly to win over a skeptical Colicchio and the judges.
5 to 1: Bryan Voltaggio
In concept, Bryan's food falls somewhere in between Kevin's and Michael's, who land on opposite ends of the current culinary spectrum. Kevin follows the Alice Waters school of thought: local ingredients where the food speaks for itself with minimal fuss. Michael runs with the Ferran Adria crowd: modern techniques and equipment, surprising flavors and textures.
Big BroVo's food is more straightforward and classic than his brother's, and he's preached his love for local and seasonal ingredients. But we've also seen him break out the liquid nitrogen and agar agar. Bryan's technical skill may be the best of the three, but it looks like he's the long shot to really wow the judges in this final no-holds-barred challenge.
So, who are you rooting for tonight?
Note: These predictions do not include any insider info—all pure speculation from a loyal Top Chef watcher.

Grand Opening of SeniorNet at FSL, L.I. East Yaphank Annex
On Thursday, March 25, 2010, SeniorNet proudly celebrated the grand opening of its new computer-training annex at the Family Service League East Yaphank building complete with refreshments and ribbon cutting ceremony. Rooms and hallways were crowded with happy smiling guests that included Town of Brookhaven dignitaries and elected officials, Family Service League Board members, administration and staff, SeniorNet members, volunteers and various SeniorNet supporters.
The group was treated to short and often humorous congratulatory speeches many of which provided insights onto the complex issues involved in opening this annex.
We would also like to express our appreciation to Robyn Berger-Gaston, FSL's Division Director for her help and continuous support as FSL liaison to the Yaphank Annex.
Last but not least, our appreciation goes to all SeniorNet volunteers (Huntington and Yaphank); their hard work and dedication keeps our Learning Center as one of the top Learning centers in the country. You make us proud.
With the speeches over the chatty group slowly made its way to the computer lab where they all crowded inside for pictures and ribbon cutting ceremony.

Wrightsville Beach, NC
Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina: Coastal Living at its Finest
For more than a century, Wrightsville Beach has been synonymous with North Carolina coastal living. In the 1800's this community was established on a five-mile-long barrier island. Like most of the barrier islands in North Carolina, Wrightsville Beach is a low, sandy, slender piece of land. On one side is the Atlantic Ocean; on the other, the Intracoastal Waterway. There are also miles of bays, rivers, creeks and wetlands.
Yet, Wrightsville Beach is not a typical beach resort town. Unlike the crowded oceanfront stretches of the Outer Banks, Wrightsville Beach is known for its beaches, boats, boards, and beauty. Wrightsville Beach has maintained its residential charm and clean beaches despite the brisk commercial growth surrounding the island. The Intracoastal Waterway hugs the shore, creating a protected highway for watercrafts. Boaters love the choice of marinas that surround Wrightsville Beach. Facilities are available for every water-related need: boat and yacht sales, brokers and charters, sailing schools, boat launching ramps, repairs, fishing gear and more. For kayakers there is a 5-mile trail that winds through the island's marshes while sailing enthusiasts enjoy perfect wind conditions on the sound and on the ocean. And of course there are opportunities for jet skiing, windsurfing, and parasailing. Fishing can be done from the piers, in the surf, or from charter boats. You don't have to go to California or Hawaii to "catch a wave." Wrightsville Beach has some of the best surf on the east coast. Of course, the beach is a destination in itself.
RE/MAX Southern Shores agents sell property at Wrightsville Beach, NC
RE/MAX Southern Shores can help you find property in Figure Eight Island, an exclusive oceanfront resort community, in nearby Landfall, a private, gated community, on the Intracoastal Waterway or oceanfront. Newcomers are drawn to the small-town beach community of Wrightsville Beach and the conveniences of the city of Wilmington that's just five miles away. Wrightsville Beach is a unique oceanfront community where you can enjoy beach living with all of the amenities that Wilmington and New Hanover County have to offer.
When it comes to property, you will find some long-term owners from the Cape Fear River area who have maintained summer homes at Wrightsville Beach for years. But Wrightsville Beach isn't just popular with locals; Wrightsville Beach and the Wilmington area have been identified as one of the top ten small towns in the United States. This national recognition coupled with temperate weather, a low cost of living, an international airport, a branch campus of the University of North Carolina and southern hospitality make Wrightsville Beach and the Wilmington area attractive for investors and residents alike. Although residential areas on the island are densely populated, development has been controlled by building ordinances that limit the size of new houses based on square footage relative to lot size. Consequently, the character of the community has been maintained over time.
In the current economy, more properties are available, but Wrightsville Beach homes continue to hold their value. Over the last 20 years, as land values escalated, many older beach cottages were renovated or replaced by larger, modern homes, making the community an attractive option not only for year-round residents, but also for investors and buyers of second homes and summer houses. Whether you are dreaming of an oceanfront home with the beach as your front yard or a home on the Intracoastal Waterway, RE/MAX Southern Shores' agents can find the perfect property for you. Wrightsville Beach is a wonderful place to visit, to live, and to invest in. Call RE/MAX Southern Shores at 843-839-0200 to speak to an agent today!

Every Republican presidential candidate claims to be the heir to Ronald Reagan's legacy. For years, Republican partisans have carried Reagan's memory before them as the ancient Israelites carried the Ark of the Covenant. Just invoking his name proved your ideological purity, and would smite the dreaded RINO title - Republican in name only.
Problem is, those who most fervently claim to adhere to Ronald Reagan's principles don't seem to understand Reagan's greatest principle: decency.
Ronald Reagan practically has been deified as a small government, anti-tax, pro-life, all-American conservative who never compromised his principles. Like the Gipper he played in the movies, Reagan surely would have liked to score a touchdown on every play. But if he could only get the three yards in a cloud of dust, he would take it to get another first down on the way toward attaining his goals.
Ronald Reagan signed legislation that legalized abortion in California six years before Roe v. Wade. He did so because he saw that legalized abortion would come to California, either with or without his signature. To stand pat on his "principles" would have meant the legislature would have written a far more liberal bill and passed it over his veto. By staying engaged, Reagan stayed relevant and was able to negotiate the bill more to his terms.
When Reagan became president, he inherited a dispirited military - the "hollow force" - that had been gutted, disrespected and left to decay after the Vietnam War. He vowed to return America's pride and strength and to rebuild our military.
Rebuilding the military was hugely expensive. His budget needed to be passed by House Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill and the Democrat-controlled Congress. Reagan had to support the Democrats' priorities if he wanted his priorities funded. It meant deficit spending and in 1986 led to a substantial tax hike.
Americans saw one of the biggest peacetime expansions of the federal government since World War II. We also gained the finest military the world has ever seen, which helped prompt the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
President George W. Bush was savaged by some in his own party for his attempt to create a guest-worker program and a more rational path to citizenship for immigrants. Yet many of those same critics, who lionize Ronald Reagan's "True North Principles," conveniently forget that Reagan initiated an amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.
Today, we have Republican presidential candidates attacking the free market, private enterprise and the capitalists who invest in America. One demands a halt to immigration. Others spent years on Capitol Hill or as K Street lobbyists while portraying fellow candidates as "career politicians." All of them claim to be the true heirs to Ronald Reagan's legacy, even as they violate Reagan's "11th Commandment": "Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican."
As a politician, Ronald Reagan was a clear-eyed practitioner of realpolitik. He worked with Republicans and Democrats alike to achieve his goals, and he would take half a loaf over nothing. He knew the limits of presidential power in our constitutional democracy and respected them.
Reagan had a sunny optimism and faith in the goodness of his fellow Americans. While his political opponents disagreed with him over policy, he did not consider them his enemies. He viewed them as his fellow citizens, and right or wrong, he valued them. He was a true gentleman.
If Republicans want to honor his legacy, we should remember the man he really was - not the myth we've created to advance our personal interests. If we can emulate the decency, civility, good will and patriotism that was Ronald Reagan - and live the 11th Commandment - we can honor him in the second century after his birth and make America that gleaming city on the hill that he dreamed of.
Michael Collins, a resident of Annapolis, Md., has been active in Republican politics for more than a decade. His email is email@example.com.

Wipe it all. Done.
Quoting verbatim:If a law enforcement agency with proven jurisdiction over our business comes to us with a valid order from a valid judicial authority that our own corporate lawyers are able to independently verify, we will comply with that order as written. Naturally, we can't provide information we don't store - such as network traffic logs. We cannot be compelled to provide what we do not have.
If a court orders us to close an account, we will do so. If a court orders us to allow them to secretly place surveillance "sniffers" on a specific account, we will fight this order to the highest judicial authority possible. If we lose, we will shut down the business and call it a day. End of story.
Hard to install snitchware on a VPN network that's been null'd. Problem solved.
How many other VPN companies have that in their Terms of Service? How many of them would go through with it, even if they did? Hmmm...
Which is, as we've been reminded, really a form of corporate seppuku:

That sure was a drone/loop, and Space Echo set ... enjoyed it! Must have been fun in a live setting.
Also, neat bits of gear you were using. I've been meaning to pick up an RC-20.I know the Repeater, but not the roland SP-404 - would you recommend it as a good looping/sampler machine ? Looks really nifty, and very tempting.

Unfortiunately this does not come as a surprise. Utah will appeal the federal court ruling that would require it to recognize the 1,000+ marriages performed after a judge invalidated the state's ban on marriage equality, reports the Salt Lake Tribune.
[Republican] Gov. Gary Herbert and state Attorney General Sean Reyes on Wednesday filed a notice in federal court that it would appeal U.S. District Judge Dale A. Kimball's May order that the state must treat the same-sex marriages performed in December and January the same way it treats all opposite-sex marriages.
About 1,300 same-sex couples received marriage licenses during a 17-day window that opened Dec. 20, when U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby ruled the voter-approved ban on gay marriage to be unconstitutional, and closed when the state won a stay while appealing that ruling. A ruling on the ban itself is expected any day from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, where judges heard arguments in April on its constitutionality.
Before the U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay on the weddings Jan. 6, more than 1,000 same-sex couples had solemnized their marriages in formal ceremonies. State officials later said they would not acknowledge those marriages while its appeal on Shelby's ruling was pending. But Kimball on May 19 ruled those marriages are binding, entitling those couples to the rights of marriage, such as inheritance, legal protection and child custody — even if the ban ultimately is found to be constitutional, Kimball ruled.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced on January 10 that the Obama Administration would recognize the same-sex marriages that were performed in Utah ... despite that state's decision not to do so.
The federal government has recognized same-sex marriages since the landmark Windsor case of June 2013 that struck down Section Three of the Defense of Marriage Act—which prohibited federal recognition of legally married same-sex couples and denied more than 1,000 benefits, such as Social Security, pension benefits and preferential tax treatment.
Nineteen states—California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington—and the District of Columbia now allow same-sex marriage. Six Native American tribal jurisdictions also allow same-sex marriage.

Music and Deafness Research
Click the thumbnail above to view the Music to Young Ears Report online or download from the link below
Music4U carried out a research project focused on music making with deaf children under five. For the purposes of this report, the term 'deaf', as defined by the National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS), refers to a child who is partially or wholly lacking hearing, either from birth or due to disease or trauma.
Started in September 2012, the research has been examining current levels of provision for young deaf children across the Music4U region and identifying examples of national and regional best practice. The project also seeks a better understanding of the benefits of musical engagement for deaf children and some of the new and emerging trends in provision, especially those that are technology-based and that are being developed in the academic sphere.
At the outset, Music4U identified two key outputs for the project: a practical event and a formal report, both of which would share learning and best practice beyond the partnership with wider audiences. The event took the form of a unique national conference which was hosted by the NCEM on 8 May 2013 during Deaf Awareness Week. For more information about the conference click here
The report, which can be downloaded above, provides an overview of the national and regional contexts for early years music provision and education, and identifies some of the issues deaf children and their families face when it comes to accessing music, health and education services. It also provides examples of national and regional best practice and an indication of musical provision currently available within the region. In addition, the report surveys recent academic and grey literature in order to better understand how deaf children can experience and benefit from music.
A set of recommendations for how Music4U and its partners can build on the research and help develop and deliver musical opportunities for young deaf children within the region has been put forward in the report. In the main, these recommendations advocate raising awareness about the value of music for deaf children, partnership working and active consultation with leaders in the field, the promotion of high quality training, a pilot project within the region, and the development of learning resources and a signposting service offered through the Music4U website.
The research is based on academic enquiry, observations and interviews with practitioners and professionals working in music, health and education. 'Music and deafness' is an under-researched area of music provision. For this reason, the report should be of interest to readers within and beyond Music4U's boundaries. The research endeavours to help its readers consider how music provision for deaf children may be developed, delivered and evaluated to best effect in their local area. Some of the key beneficiaries may include parents and carers of deaf children; arts development officers; music education hubs; music educators and community musicians (including students); delivery organisations, especially those focused on early years music and those catering to special needs; and early years practitioners (e.g. within local authorities and the NHS)
Music4U gratefully acknowledges the funding from Youth Music, which has enabled this research to be carried out and shared with wider audiences. Music4U thanks all of the individuals and organisations who supported the development of the report with their ideas, knowledge and experiences, and all those who participated in the conference and helped to make it a ground-breaking event.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Workshop 3: Teaching Poetry
In Workshop 3, we see two master teachers—Vivian Johnson, who teaches eighth grade in Elizabethton, Tennessee, and Jack Wilde, a fifth-grade teacher from Hanover, New Hampshire—help their students develop as readers and writers of poetry.
The workshop begins midway through Vivian Johnson's five-week poetry unit as she introduces a lesson on line breaks to her students. After the class analyzes several models that exemplify the power of line breaks, the students apply what they have learned to their own writing and share their work with each other.
Like Vivian, Jack Wilde is using a published poem to teach his fifth-grade students about writing poetry. After the students read and analyze the poem, Jack gives them a topic and has them practice writing stanzas modeled on the exemplar to combine into a class poem. The children share their writing, and then Jack leads them in a discussion of how they might apply what they have learned from this exercise to writing their own poetry.
In addition to classroom segments, the workshop features excerpts from a conversation between Jack and Vivian and from an interview with Tom Romano, author of Clearing the Way: Working With Teenage Writers.

Mumbai, Jan. Jan 9:
DNA tests will be conducted on four unidentified bodies of the nine passengers who died in Wednesday's Dehradun Express fire in Thane, near the Maharashtra-Gujarat border, an official said here Thursday.
"Their bodies have been burnt beyond recognition and hence it has been decided to conduct DNA tests," a Western Railway spokesperson told IANS.
The victims are believed to have been travelling in S-2 and S-3 coaches, which along with S-4 caught fire around 2.35 a.m. early Wednesday near Gholvad, around 145 km north of Mumbai.
The bodies are in custody of the Government Railway Police which will arrange for the DNA testing and later complete the formalities of handing these over to the bereaved families.
Nine passengers, including a woman, were killed when a fire engulfed the three sleeper coaches of the speeding Mumbai Bandra Terminus-Dehradun Express.
The fire which ravaged three sleeper coaches of the train caught the sleeping passengers unawares. It was first noticed by Jawahar Singh, a level-crossing gateman who alerted the Gholvad station master.
The Commissioner of Railway Safety will conduct an inquiry.
Five of the nine, who succumbed to asphyxiation, were identified as: Deepika Shah, 65; Dev Shankar Upadhyay, 48; Surendra Shah, 68; Nasirkhan Ahmedkhan Pathan, 50, and Feroz Khan, 38.

A stretch of street – proven unsafe for cars, pedestrians and even storefronts – has "struck" again.
Following three crashes in as many months in 2011, another car accident occurred on May 1 at the off-ramp of the Ed Koch-Queensborough Bridge, located on Queens Plaza South near Crescent Street in Long Island City.
A taxi driver came off of the exit and collided with scaffolding, but no one was injured during the incident.
The crash was the fourth overall in the last 12 months – including two accidents within nine days of each other last year, during which drivers were speeding and failed to negotiate the sharp turn at the end of the ramp, causing them to smash their cars into two nearby storefronts. One passenger and one pedestrian were killed in the accidents, and both drivers lost a limb.
The proprietors of the two stores – Espinal Caribbean Restaurant II and Villa De Beauté hair salon – are suing a number of parties, including the city, Department of Transportation (DOT) and the drivers and owners of the vehicles, for roughly $1 million in damages.
"There was negligence on the part of the various defendants," said Scott Agulnick, the shop owners' attorney. "Our lawsuit is not like a personal injury lawsuit. We are actually seeking real damages – the loss of equipment, inventory, improvements and revenue itself, along with the good faith the businesses had built. The various parties owe a duty to use the reasonable care that an ordinary person would do under those circumstances. Those people who are designing the roadway and the traffic pattern owed a reasonable duty when doing so to prevent a dangerous situation. The drivers of the vehicle owed a duty of care to keep their vehicles under control, and the owners of the vehicles are vicariously liable."
The store owners, 44-year-old Tony Espinal and 32-year-old Akber Jiwani, were unavailable for comment.
Agulnick says Espinal is focusing on his other restaurant, while Jiwani, whose equipment and revenue was not insured, is struggling and uncertain regarding his future plans.
The recent crash represents the resurgence of a problem the city hoped it had already remedied.
Following last year's barrage of accidents, the DOT attempted to improve safety conditions in the area by changing traffic patterns, increasing signs and erecting concrete barricades on the edge of the sidewalk.
According to DOT spokesperson Nicholas Mosquera, the department regularly reminds drivers of the appropriate speed limits on bridges and has also installed rumble strips, flashing lights and reflective tape at the off-ramp.
Senator Michael Gianaris, who was among several elected officials who requested the DOT institute the changes, believes more must be done to keep people out of harm's way.
Despite the traffic improvements, many who work and live in the area still consider crossing near the ramp unsafe, while others believe the ramp is only dangerous when people do not follow proper traffic laws and procedures.
James Haran, who works down the block from the ramp, has seen damage done first hand.
"People are hectic coming off the bridge," said Haran. "They cut people off and it can cause accidents. There is also a good amount of speeding. This is definitely not the best place to drive. I wouldn't feel comfortable driving or crossing the street at this spot. My friend was hit by a speeding car at this spot two weeks ago. He is still in the hospital with a broken leg and has had four surgeries."

This is a good question, especially since there has been a recent proliferation of gas and propane appliances which are known for their clean, convenient and effortless performance. But while gas appliances are useful and efficient heaters, they are almost like watching TV; they have an aura of "virtual reality".
Burning wood is real.
There is nothing like the ambiance and radiant warmth of burning wood – whether it's at a campfire or a cook-out, on a fireplace hearth, or in a wood burning stove. It's a fundamentally creative exercise. Every fire is different, every day. It requires effort and thought to burn wood (you don't just click a remote control or a wall switch and forget about it). Burning wood brings you closer to nature and the environment. Wood is a renewable energy resource and burning wood is an economic and efficient use of the earth's energy.
Radiant Heat Is Comfortable Heat
A real wood fire is always the focus for family, friends, and conversation. And radiant heat just plain feels good. There's nothing particularly romantic, beautiful, or cozy about a radiator, hot air ducts, or a central heating system.
For all of human history, people have gathered around the fire for warmth and companionship. They still do. During the cold winter months, when friends and family gather in the warmth around the woodstove, its presence is part of the experience. Whether it evokes thoughts of romantic evenings spent by the fireplace or the memory of childhood sing-a-longs by the campfire, the woodstove has an emotional resonance that no central heating system can match. It is more than a mere appliance.
Burning Wood Is A Creative Exercise
Each wood fire is unique. Day-to-day changes in wind, weather, atmospheric pressure, chimney draft, wood type and moisture content all affect the performance of your stove. It is satisfying to be part of a process where there is always an opportunity to learn more.
For many people, heating with wood is a little like having your own garden. A garden is more work than going to the store for your food. But there is a payoff in the personal satisfaction of being part of the process, and in raising vegetables that are far superior to those at the store. The same is true of heating with wood. Raising the thermostat and sending a check off to the utility company is easier than stacking your firewood and tending the stove, but it is also far less satisfying.
Burning wood is like gardening, cooking, home renovation, or alternative traveling (by sail, bicycle, or walking). It requires participation and effort but offers commensurate rewards.
Wood Is A Renewable Energy Source
Solar power, wind power, and wood energy are all renewable resources. They can be used without depleting the earth's natural resources. A well-managed forest can be a sustainable, renewable source of energy that will help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the amount of oil, gas, and coal that we burn for heat.
Sound woodlot management yields firewood as a byproduct of thinning out non-lumber grade trees. If allowed, nature will replace what we use. This means that, with care, we will never run out of firewood.
Using wood as a fuel is also good for the atmosphere because it helps to reduce the build-up in greenhouse gas emissions. Trees go through a natural cycle of growth and decay. And, whether they are burned or are slowly oxidized as they rot on the forest floor, there is a balance between the carbon taken from the atmosphere by trees as they grow and that which is released once they die. Therefore, the use of wood recycles the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — unlike the use of oil or coal, which reintroduces long buried carbon into the atmosphere. Also, unlike coal or fuel oil, wood releases little acid-rain-causing sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.
Catalytic Combustors Create Clean, Efficient Burning
The modern woodstoves sold by Woodstock Soapstone Company are exceptionally clean burning. These stoves use catalytic combustors and emit between 1.3 and 3.5 grams of particulate matter per hour, depending on the model.
Many of the stoves produced during the great woodburning boom (after the oil embargoes) of the 1970's limited the amount of air going into the firebox in order to increase burn times. This resulted in lower firebox temperatures, incomplete combustion and a great deal of smoke. Some of these stoves put out more than 60 grams of particulate matter per hour.
The problem got so bad that some cities actually limited the use of woodstoves and fireplaces. The woodstove industry responded by developing much cleaner stoves. At Woodstock Soapstone Company we chose to use catalytic technology, like that used in your car, to make our stoves cleaner.
The benefits of a catalytic combustor far outweigh the added cost. The most obvious advantage is clean burning. Another important advantage is safety. Properly operated, a catalytic combustor can reduce creosote and the danger of chimney fires by as much as 90%. Still another advantage is efficiency. Using a catalytic combustor increases the stove's efficiency by up to 25%. This will save you a lot of work if you cut and split your wood — and a lot of money if you buy it. In fact, it is likely that if you use your soapstone stove as a primary source of heat, your combustor will pay for itself before the end of the first heating season.
Wood Heat Is Economic
Wood heat is one of the least expensive ways to heat your home. According to a 1997 survey by Corning, Incorporated, of fuel suppliers around the country, to provide a 2,000 square-foot home with 64.5 million BTUs of heat would cost the following:
Source: Corning, Inc., 1997
|Corning, NY
|Mnpls, MN
|Seattle, WA
|Gas Stove
|Fuel Oil
|Pellet Stove
|Electric heat
Wood Heat Is Secure
Since our woodstoves operate with natural draft, no power is required to operate them. If you lose power in a severe storm, you can continue to heat with wood, and cook on the stove. During the prolonged power outage in January 1998, residents of Northern New England and New York who heated with wood were able to stay in their homes and avoid damage from frozen water pipes – a real testament to the effectiveness of wood heat.
One of our customers in Maine said that his Woodstock Soapstone Stove saved his family during the 1998 ice storm. "It did everything but play music."
Heating with a woodstove will give you a sense of security and independence that you won't get from any other source of heat. Plus, you have the option of providing your own fuel or buying wood from a local woodcutter. And the firewood business puts money into the local economy, rather than into the pockets of multi-national corporations.
What Are The Options For Heating With Wood?
There are basically three ways to heat with wood: fireplaces, furnaces and stoves. Naturally, we are biased about which one is the best choice, but there are reasons for our bias.
Fireplaces are beautiful, romantic and incredibly inefficient. When they are not being used they act as an open vent in your house which lets the cold air in and the warm air out. And, when they are being used, most of the heat goes right up the chimney. The average fireplace has a net efficiency of 0% (some even have a negative net efficiency, meaning that they contribute to an overall loss of heat in your house.) If you don't have a fireplace, adding one will cost significantly more than buying a woodstove and you will never recover the money in reduced fuel bills. If you do already have a fireplace, it may look nice but it won't do an adequate job of heating your home.
Wood fueled furnaces (which heat air) and boilers (which heat water) both provide central heat throughout the entire house. They are convenient, and more automated than stoves. And, they are located out of the way in the basement or furnace room, which may be seen as an advantage if you really don't want a woodstove as part of your living area. However, they are significantly more expensive than wood stoves — especially if you have to pay for duct work or plumbing. They depend on electricity — a factor to be considered if power outages are part of your winter experience. And, they are totally lacking in charm. It just isn't the same, curling up next to a warm furnace.
Stoves, on the other hand, provide all the advantages of burning wood presented above. They are the most controllable, reliable and economical way to heat your home. Because of their lower price and greater efficiency, they can pay for themselves in reduced fuel bills. They are reliable, and do not need electricity to operate. And, models with windows have much of the charm of a fireplace, minus the inefficiency.
What About Pellet Stoves And Gas Stoves?
Pellet stoves are an attempt to provide the advantages of wood heat with greater convenience. They work by automatically feeding wood pellets into the stove's firebox. They have the advantage of not using fossil fuels, and not contributing to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They are very clean burning and if they have a window you can sit and watch the glow of the firebox. On the down side, having mechanical feed systems and forced air blowers, they are dependent on electricity to function, and they are noisy. They require the purchase of a manufactured fuel, which may not be available where you live. Pellets are more expensive than firewood. And, last but not least, watching the glow as the pellets are fed into the firebox can't compare with watching the fire in one of our woodstoves. We have the same reservations about corn stoves, which are economic but rely on electricity, expensive fuel, and lack ambiance.
Gas stoves are another attempt to provide the woodstove experience with greater convenience. And, if you live in a big city where you just can't get wood, they may be a satisfactory substitute. But, they aren't woodstoves. You are still burning a fossil fuel and contributing to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. You are still dependent on a big utility for your fuel. And, you are not going to get the same savings on your fuel bill.

I'm not liking what I'm hearing about the pitch preparation at the Oval. If there's not going to be any change then it'll be a high scoring game that could well end in a draw.
And if any time was lost out of the game - well, its VERY likely to be a draw isn't it? It goes without saying that this favours the Aussies.
Has anyone looked at the weather forecast? I have and its saying the first 3 days it will rain (to varying degrees) I really do fear for our chances now.
Also, isn't it the whole point to doctor pitches for the home team? It happens on the subcontinent, Australia. Everywhere I reckon but why not here?

Monticello's version of the I-15 pre-Olympic rebuild in Salt Lake County started this week with utility and road construction work which will eventually involve all of Center and Main Streets. Hundreds of orange construction barriers squeezed traffic to single lanes near third east and this is just a taste of what is to come.
The Utah Department of Transportation plans to completely rebuild Center street (U. S. Highway 491) from the intersection of U. S. 191 to the port of entry east of town. The city will request that UDOT do the same thing with US Highway 191 from 500 South to 700 North.
Before this can happen, the City of Monticello must install new water and sewer mains under these busy highways through town. Cost of Monticello's share of the project is $1,790,000. The money came from the State Community Impact Board in the form of a $790,000 grant and a $1 million interest free loan.
If the aging infrastructure under the new highways were not replaced now, maintenance problems in the future would be more costly than rebuilding before the new road goes in.
City leaders want to prepare citizens and business owners for the inconvenience of what lies ahead this summer. Like I-15, it will be a mess while it is happening, but a tremendous improvement when completed. And unlike the four years it took to rebuild I-15, this project should be completed by September 15.
Falcon Construction, of Hilldale, UT is the contractor on the utility job. Monticello City Manager Myron Lee says that Falcon will work 12 hours a day (7-7) five days a week and will be putting a second crew on the job next week in an effort to finish as soon as possible.
Included with the utility construction of the major highways is the utility installation for a new road from Highway 491 to 1st North on Third East. This required the removal of an existing home. Lee said the City was faced with a $9,000 cost to move or demolish the home. However it was sold and moved off thus saving the City the moving fees, plus receiving additional cash for the home.
Lee said the City does not have sufficient funding available to build this new extension to Third East at the present time, but that it would be completed some time in the future.
