From gas to electric, ranges now come in a wide range of options. Some cooktop ranges are inserted into a countertop and have a matching wall oven that is installed separately. There are free-standing models--range and oven combos--that have panels on both sides and can stand alone in the kitchen. There also are slide-in models, which have no side panels or backsplash and fit between two cabinets. Then there are drop-ins, which are fueled by electricity only, and are installed between cabinets on a pedestal with no bottom drawer below oven. Here's an overview of the types of ranges and combos you'll find on the market:
Types: Cooktop and wall oven set | Freestanding ranges | Gas | Duel-fuel | Electric | Convection or trivection | Commercial-style
This style offers more flexibility in terms of placement because the cooktop and wall oven aren't connected. However, it requires more installment/carpentry expertise in many cases than a freestanding range.
Price: $250 to $1,500 for cooktops; $400 to $2,000 for wall ovens
The range and oven are all-in-one. These typically cost less than cooktop and wall oven combos. They are easier to install in most cases, but the oven and range height are fixed.
Price: $700 to $1,599
They fire up quickly and you always know when they're on. They are powered by natural gas, which has to be available in your community, or liquid propane, which you have to buy and have delivered. They are slightly more expensive to buy than electric ranges but are slightly less expensive to operate. They can come with unique burners for very fast high-temperature heat (searing, boiling) and for gentle low-temperature heat (simmering). Look for sealed burners for easier cleanup. Another plus: You can cook during power outages.
Price: $250 to more than $21,000
Cooking power: British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr), the standard heat-output measurement, ranges from 5,000 to 12,500.
Width: 20 to 40 inches
Gas cooktop for quick response with good temperature control, including an electric oven for more even heating.
Price: $850 to more than $6,000
Width: 30 to 40 inches
With electric ranges you have less control over heat output--for example, water can take longer to boil. However, you can get better overall performance from the oven. Models are slightly less expensive than gas ranges but also cost a bit more to operate from month to month.
Price: $220 to $4,000
Width: 20 to 36 inches
Coil types:Electric ranges come with a wide range of burner types, including:
Convection is an oven option that uses fans to circulate heat more evenly throughout the oven, which cooks food faster while using less energy and heat. One plus is that there is no need to place cooking trays on certain levels of the oven since heat is distributed evenly. You can switch between conventional baking and roasting and/or convection baking and roasting. In addition to convection, another speedier cooking option is trivection, which uses thermal heating, convection, and microwave heating power.
Price: $1,000 to more than $6,000
Width: 30 to 60 inches
With the home chef and kitchen upgrade trends, some people want the professional look and power of a commercial range. Most commercial-style ranges have at least four and sometimes up to eight burners. They generate high heat output (typically 15,000 Btu/hr.), which requires more cooking finesse. One downside of these ranges: They sometimes have a high-repair history.
Price: $4,000 to more than $21,000
Width: 30 to 60 inches
When it comes to picking range/oven size, consider how much you really cook, how much value you want your kitchen to add to your home (kitchens often sell a home these days), and how big an oven you need to keep your family well fed. After measuring how much range/oven space your kitchen can handle, consider these general guidelines as well:
One to two people:
You'll need 2 to 3 cubic feet of oven space.
Three to four people:
You'll need 3 to 4 cubic feet of oven space.
Four or more people:
You'll need more than 4 cubic feet of oven space.
Features depend on whether you go with gas or electric; here's a general breakdown:
High-power burners or elements: Good for quick boiling and other cooking tasks that require more heat such as quick boiling or searing. Most ranges have one or two high-power burners, and commercial-style ranges may have more.
Medium burners or elements: Good for all basic tasks.
Low or "simmer" burner or element: Good for slow cooking and simmering.
Wok burner can be an option.
Grates: The pricier the range, the more heavy-duty the grates. Materials range from thin steel to porcelain-coated cast iron to brass as well as a weightier cast iron. Also, continuous grates allow you to slide a pot from one burner to another.
Bridge element: This is an extra element that bridges one burner to another so that you can use griddles or other large pans with maximum efficiency.
Different-size elements: Accommodates round pans in many sizes.
Warning light: A light that lets you know when a burner is still hot, even though it has been turned off.
Depending on whether you go with gas, electric, or the convection option, you should find the following basic features:
Self-cleaning cycle: Burns off oven residue and build up using high heat. Self-cleaning ovens also tend to have more insulation. Some models come with a self-cleaning countdown display.
Racks: Most ovens offer five or more oven rack positions.
Smart timers: Some models now offer programmable timing options, such as start cook and stop cook, to automatically turn off the oven when the timer buzzes.
Automatic door lock: Models may include an automatic lock for the self-cleaning cycle and some come with child locks, too.
Broil: Models may come with broil setting or high and low broil settings, for meats of different cuts.
Window: Many models now come with a large, clear window so you don't have to open the oven door and lose heat to check on your food.
Touchpad controls: Beyond the basic dial, models that come with touchpad controls allow more control over temperature and timer settings or for custom cooking options. Others allow you to save your favorite recipes.
Ovens especially come with a wide range of advanced features for keeping food toasty and for the gourmet set.
Dehydration: Some models have a setting that allows you to dehydrate fruits and vegetables.
Sabbath mode: This feature keeps cooked foods warm on the Jewish Sabbath and holidays. For any host, this setting can also be a plus when you're hosting lots of guests and need to keep food warmed over a long period of time.
Warming drawer: This drawer warms food or you can use it for bread proofing (letting bread dough rise).
Internet or telephone remote control: Now you can use the Web or a phone to get dinner started. One model allows you to remotely access your oven from the Net or a landline or mobile phone. It works because the oven also doubles as a refrigerator and keeps your food fresh until you're ready to activate the oven remotely.
Touch screens: Flat-panel control screens throughout the house can enable you to control your oven via Microsoft Media Center Home Network.
Speedcook: This oven type is in the microwave family and can, for example, cook a turkey in 42 minutes. You can pick settings like bake, roast, broil, air crisp, dehydrate, or toast along with your preprogrammed recipes. Models can also include profiles (one model boasts 500) to automatically determine cook times and temperature.
Ventilation: Some models include downdraft ventilation that will suck up smoke, steam, and odors, eliminating the need for an overhead hood. Their effectiveness compared with over-the stove hoods, however, is debatable.
In general, cooking with natural gas is cheaper over the long run than cooking with electricity, especially if the range uses spark ignition over a pilot light, which runs continuously. Choosing an oven with a window is an energy-saver because you won't keep letting heat out to check the progress of your dish. Not using the self-cleaning mode more than once a month is another cost-saving tip. With electric ranges, it also pays to make sure you match the pot size with the burner.
According to the Consumer Guide to Home Energy Savings, here is an energy cost comparison of ovens based on cooking an average casserole. It assumes the cost of gas is 60 cents a therm, and electricity is 8 cents a kWh:
|Electric Oven
|1 hour
|2.0 kWh
|Electric Convection Oven
|45 minutes
|1.39 kWh
|Gas Oven
|1 hour
|.112 therm
|Electric Frying Pan

|.9 kWh
|Toaster Oven
|50 minutes
|.95 kWh
|Electric Crockpot
|7 hour

|15 minutes

Biz Magazine Praises 'Stellar Results' of French Health Care
BusinessWeek says the U.S. should learn a lesson from France about how to run health care. According to the July 9 issue:
"France also demonstrates that you can deliver stellar results with this mix of public and private financing," wrote correspondent Kerry Capell.
Capell also called the French universal system "generous" and stated that it "offers valuable lessons for would-be health-care reformers in the U.S."
Specifically referencing Michael Moore's propaganda-mentary, Capell said the French system is not "quite as superb as Sicko maintains, but it's pretty good."
There were no critics of French health care quoted in her story, only proponents of it.
Lacking from Capell's piece was a dose of perspective about French health care, because she included three experts who all support the system: Victor G. Rodwin of New York University, Daniel J. Pedersen of the Buffett Early Childhood Fund and Shanny Peer of the French-American Foundation.
As Kyle Smith pointed out in a review of "Sicko" in the New York Post, the French system is far from flawless. He specifically mentioned the August 2003 heat wave that claimed the lives of nearly 15,000 people in France.
"The French parliament blamed the health care system. That's five times 9/11's toll, all of it preventable, all of it unlamented by Moore," Smith wrote.
Capell's praise for the "stellar" system became really ironic when she stated that France is now dealing with "runaway health-care inflation. That has led to some hefty tax hikes" and the country is trying to find a way to "rein in costs" by - of all things, borrowing "U.S.-style health-maintenance organization tactics."

Close enough to the strip for any action required. Facilities in resort cater for all needs.
Furnishings and carpets need renewal.
The walls are thin, too much noise with neighbors.
room swimming pool wifi
Our two bedroom unit was spacious and with the air conditioning unit on, was surprisingly quiet! The pool area was nice and the concierge was very helpful. I have stayed at a number of Las Vegas casino hotels in the past, but chose this resort so that my mother wouldn't have far to walk from the car to the room. Very convenient!
Our unit (#4123) was badly in need of upgrading. The shower door was poorly removed and a temporary curtain and rack hung in its place. There were huge stains on the heavily worn carpet. The wireless reception was very poor in our room which might explain the tables and chairs in the court yard outside the door (where reception was good).
We were there last weekend and we were impressed by how equipped the was. It had everything. The rooms are quite clean and comfortable and the location is perfect. Who cares that there is no complimentary breakfast you would not make it in time for breakfast anyway because you party all night long and come back at 5 am. I highly recommend the place especially for families. Plus it is cheap!!
Everything was great. Inside and out. Security was visible and observant. When requesting items for the room, response and delivery was quick. Nice and quiet rooms.
the room is big and quiet
The kitchen area was nice.
The carpets were horribly dirty and there was ants in both bathrooms.
We missed the complimentary breakfast and beer. Otherwise it was a great stay.
Value for money Clean Quiet Great for families You get a suite with a full kitchen for the same or less price than a room on the strip. Walking distance to MGM Grand.
The key card didn't always work too well.
Great resort Convenient location Friendly staff Nice pool
No WiFi Carpet needs to be cleaned
Like that we were able to walk to strip. Pillows were very comfortable. We stayed in a 2 bedroom and it was very good in size. Loved that our room had strip view.
I didnt like that there is only 1 pool and it was too full when we went down due to the hot weather.
Location, size of accommodation, staff very helpful, good pool and gym.
Accomodation needed upgrading obviously well used.
I Stayed at the Desert Rose previously so I was very familiar with everything. It was definitely bang for the buck.
I really missed the complimentary breakfast buffet.
Location off strip but walkable and easy to drive, lots of free parking on the strip Beds comfortable Sofa bed a good configuration could sleep on the lounge as two singles or as an actual pull out We didn't visit the pool or public areas as our room was at the back of the complex
Apartment was a little bit older, they are renovating a lot of them. Very comfortable though with 3 TV's, wifi and a full size kitchen. Laundry was downstairs and only 3 machines but all worked well The door to our apartment was warped and didn't shut properly
Price is reasonable, family friendly, staff is nice and not to far from strip.
I asked for pool view and did not receive, but maybe didn't have any available. We got a room that was located by the lobby on the first floor and it was so loud all morning and through out the day we got woken up every morning with slamming doors and workers talking so loud it was a bit frustrating.
Modest price for a large suite with kitchen facilities. Good location with a close and safe walking distance to the strip at MGM Grande. Quieter than strip accommodation. Avoid the crowding and frenzy of being right on the strip. No slots or gambling on site, so it doesn't feel as cheezy and tawdry as strip hotels.
Its a budget hotel so it welcomes budget travellers. The guest demographic can be questionable. Large groups of muscular, tattooed young men with hair died blond taking over the pool can reduce enjoyment of that area. No air conditioning in the elevators and hallways so it can get hot.
Room space Kitchen facility Laundry facility
Breakfast cannot be called breakfast, you receive a bag containing an apple and a muffin. Very poor!
Very nice hotel - we were only here for a short time so didn't get to experience the full facilities
Breakfast was a token gesture but too much sweet food first thing in the morning
Lovely hotel, near the strip but not directly on it so was fairly quiet.
Air con was very noisy
walking distance to strip
The resort is fantastic! Being able to cook and have a kitchen rocks! My first room however was a disgrace, how this has not been fixed by now it beyond me. Building 4 room 4015, building entry / exit slams all day and night, right on the bedroom wall. I had to change rooms it was so painful! I left a brand new shirt (tags on) in the closet in my quick changeover as I had a your In an hour. The managements response... "Sorry sir, we have to wait for it to be turned in"! Well clearly I never got it back and am still filthy about it! Anyway, perfect place otherwise if you don't mind a little walk in the desert heat to get the party started elsewhere
Staff assistance in regards to lost property
All attentions
location and price
size of bathroom no counter space stayed there 4 times as far as i remember it was not like this in the suite we stayed before
Decent sized rooms.
Breakfast was a bit of a let down.

By KAITLYN AFFUSO
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Community and college volunteers turned out for projects throughout the area during Saturday's Day of Caring.
Sponsored by SUNY Plattsburgh's Project HELP, United Way of the Adirondack Region and The Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau, the annual event brought volunteers to about 75 community projects. Participants helped in community cleanups, fundraisers and a variety of other tasks.
At the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts (NCCCA), a group of students and two community members helped with the Strand Theatre renovation in downtown Plattsburgh.
Zuehailey Irizarry, vice-president of activities for SUNY Plattsburgh's Student Association, said this is her second year participating in Day of Caring and she has enjoyed this year's task.
Irizarry said she went to a professor's home last year to stack wood and do simple yard work. She said the bigger crowd on site this year to prepare an old theater for a reopening was a bigger reward.
"You can tell they're (renovators) really appreciative," Irizarry said. "We made an impact this year."
Jake Vassello, executive vice president of the Student Association, said it took four hours with a 20-person group to do a big cleaning job at the Strand.
"Since we (Student Association) represent about 6,500 students, it's nice to do something for the community too," Vassello said.
The volunteers removed wood and pipes from previous construction projects in the theater, filling a dumpster.
Karen Ploth and her daughter Kallie McGrath, a Chazy High School drama club member, also volunteered at the Strand. They said the cleaning and organization changed parts of the theater completely.
"I like how I've been a part of putting this together," McGrath said.
Ploth said she had not been in the Strand Theatre since the '70s or '80s, and while it has changed a great deal, she was happy to become a part of it again.
Devi Momot, who works with the NCCCA and Vision2Action, said the volunteers did a great job. She said she is always looking for volunteers to help with the renovation. Those who are interested should contact Leigh Mundy, the main coordinator of the Strand Theatre renovation, who's affiliated with NCCCA.
Another community service effort was held at Sam's Club, where a group of sorority sisters from Alpha Epsilon Phi collected nonperishable food items or cash donations from shoppers, all benefitting the local food shelves in Clinton and Essex counties.
Christina Innamorato said that, although participating in the Day of Caring is mandatory for the sorority sisters, all were happy to help out.
Innamorato said Shannon Campbell and Kelsie Brea handed out fliers at the store's entrance, that way shoppers were aware of the donating table just outside the exit doors.
"We're doing really good so far," Kathryn Castillo said.
Nicole Coppinger, a first-year participant, agreed.
"Our sorority is really big in community service," Coppinger said.
Castillo said this community service task is easy compared to others they've done, but it's always enjoyable to be giving back to the community.
"Overall, it's never too hard to help people," Castillo said.
"You have a free Saturday anyway, you might as well help out."

This may interest some of you here. I was reading some material about ancient steel and metal working, and there is an idea that some of the ancient smiths at times came across iron ore that had other alloying elements such as molybdenum and cobalt, rare but it happened, and would forge these into swords, daggers, knives, and other blades that had properties similiar to modern alloy steel, mostly unknowingly.
We do know they found meteoric iron at times and forged it into blades, which were pretty good.
There is a claim that some of the ancient Japanese sword makers were using molybdenum steel for their katanas.
Here is a related question: If you were to somehow transport some blocks and bars of a steel like VG-10 to Medieval era or Roman era blacksmiths, could they have generated the temperatures necessary to forge this into blades, or would it be unworkable to them?

The Falcons have won four games in a row and are one of just four teams with a 4-1 record, but the team's majority owner, Arthur Blank, emphasized that it's still early in the season at the NFL owners' meeting Tuesday.
Blank said third-year head coach Mike Smith is doing a good job of keeping players from getting overconfident.
"(Smith is) keeping them focused from week-to-week," Blank told PFW. "Every coach says that, and I'm sure they all mean it, but I think in the case of Smitty, Smitty has a real sense of humility. He's a football coach and he's not thinking about the eighth game or 10th game. He's thinking about next week. He creates a sense of urgency and a sense of reality with our players as well.

New NL East champs, the Atlanta Braves are getting in on the Blurred Lines craze ... well, sort of.
Atlanta-based comedian Aaron Chewning wrote, directed, and performed a Blurred Lines parody, titled Baselines, for the Atlanta Braves in a time-table of nine days from start to finish.
Chewning, being a huge Braves fan himself, couldn't turn it down.
Atlanta rapper, singer/songwriter Jonny Quest also performed and Jordan Roe engineered the track.
Homer and the Tomahawk Team were featured in the video and former Braves catcher Javy Lopez even made an appearance.
The video, posted Monday, already has over 50,000 views on YouTube.
Check out the lyrics:
Turner Field get up!
Hey, hey, hey!
If you didn't see, Atlanta run the league (ATL c'mon!),
If you didn't read, SI magazine,
We rocked the NL East,
Sweeping left and right,
One month in and outta sight,
Ok it's business time,
And we're so underrated,
But in due time,
They're gonna celebrate us,
Say hi to all the haters,
Hey hey hey!
Cause they know what our fate is,
And that's October greatness.
And we're the best team in the whole world!
We got the Uptons,
We got the Johnsons,
We're pretty awesome.
The whole world!
They aint ready,
We got the Freddies,
We've won already,
All these baselines!
I got a feeling,
This post season,
We gon be winning,
It's about time!
We punched our ticket,
To get that pennant,
We're gonna win it.
Think you're winning you are mental,
9th innings are so simple,
When you release the Kimbrell,
You watch out Uggla,
Cause Freddie loves ya,
He's gonna hug ya,
OK, the East is won,
But we're not finished just yet,
Looks like we got the runs,
Not even breaking a sweat,
Marlin's you weren't a threat,
Philly don't you forget,
Swatted some Nats and Mets,
And the Johnsons,
All those baselines!
One thing I ask of you,
I don't wanna hear you mention that nattitude,
Miami to NYC, and Philly dude,
And even DC got their team run through,
So lemme tell you what them braves'll do,
It's the 95 playoffs, dejavu,
Uh other teams go and form a queue,
And the commisioner's trophy, we're coming for you!

Well we don't have to worry that UFC fans won't be able to find their new home on cable television. After weeks of hand-wringing that cable carriers wouldn't be offering Fox Sports 1 in time for the UFC debut on the station, everything came out all right in the end.
Dave Meltzer reported that UFC Fight Night 26: Shogun vs. Sonnen averaged almost 1.8 million viewers on Saturday night. He commented:
The number is nothing short of remarkable for the first night of a new station in an unfamiliar spot on the dial, even beating out all four networks in the 18-49 demo and every key male demo.
MMA Payout added:
The ratings show that viewers can find a channel if they really want to. The fact that the UFC did so well on the opening night of a new channel is a big win for the UFC and FS1. The numbers and the wins in its key demo (males, 18-49) is a big positive for the UFC. Not sure if Sonnen was the reason for the draw or the fact that people were curious about the new channel. Regardless, the ratings are better than the UFC's live event debut on FX (1.3M) and series average (1.29M).
The UFC took no chances as they stacked the card with PPV caliber fights like Chael Sonnen vs. Shogun Rua and Alistair Overeem vs. Travis Browne. The relative weakness of the last UFC PPV and UFC on Fox cards can largely be explained by the strength of this card and it was probably the right decision to rob Peter to pay Paul in this instance.

Advantages to Living on Campus
Summer, what can we say about summer? It's a magical time of warmth and relaxation. A short time frame to relax, chill by the pool and live the stress free life. So you're taking a class or two or earning some extra money working the summer months, in general your time is your own and you move at your own schedule. We recognize and understand your priorities.
Services, including resident programs and activities are different in the summer resulting in a reduced summer rent. You still get the basics (summarized below), but the full scope of services available to residents during the academic year are scaled back.
All summer residents will be housed in Village III apartments. There is no mandatory meal plan over the summer. The Village Café is closed and there are no evening dining hours. Breakfast and Lunch available Monday-Friday in the main dining facility.
Perhaps the most important reason of all, its worry free! You don't have to stress about whether or not your roommate is going to pay his or her share of the monthly bills...anyone who has ever been in this position knows that this is a HUGE advantage. Plus the residence halls give you a place where you are in a community of fellow students, some of who will make great study partners and others who can become life-long friends.
To maintain eligibility for summer housing, you must meet one of the following standards, unless exception is granted by the Director of Housing and Residential Life or his/her designee.

After everyone made a big deal about all the grunting in Wimbledon, ladies' singles champ Serena Williams went on Letterman to discuss the dynamics of the grunt. And it's probably better that she did it here than on Conan, where she'd have to flash a fake driver's license glamour shot and stay in character for the whole interview.

Auction update
Well all, It was something else. Eight hrs. of driving and nine of auction. Three forths of it was cub stuff. Never seen anything like it in my life. The cubs and low boys were all in nice shape and running well. The two high crops weren't factory made. but still nice tractors. one Cub was a 47 and it had the fine mesh grill in nice shape like George W. has mentioned on his cub and the sr# was 819. Not far from #501. The prices went from 1800 to 3600. And then there was all the parts in the world. About six of the cubs had the Gear reduction on them, and three of them had it on both sides of the differenchel. I have never seen that before and it didn't make sence to me,and was hopping George could clear this ? up. Unless it was just for spacing and width. He had about 27 stationary engines that went between 100 and 200 each. and the first real back blade that also switched to front for a single point hitch that i ever seen. I thought prices were high but if you needed any thing it was there. I drove away with a gear reduction and a spare engine and had the time of my life. Sorry to ramble on but new you were waiting for the update. "Jack"
Sounds like a great day! Wish I could have been there!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Sounds great Jack!
I really wanted to go, Would have been nice to go on up with you! Sound like the stationary engine prices where pretty good, was that for a running engine?
Man, I should have gone .
Anyway, make sure you look in the announcement section. I know you had said early on you wanted to know when the raffle started. Well we just got the tickets and will have the tractor at LeSueur for the unvailing!
Contact me if you would like some tickets.
Did you see my post last week? Finally got my '55 home. Been playing with it a little... I keep just standing there and looking at it when I get off. Smile takes about a hour to go away

NAHA Announces Two Category Changes for 2013
The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) announced two category changes to the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) starting in 2013: Competitors can now enter in the new "Men's Hairstylist of the Year" category and make-up artists can enter in the "Make-Up Artist of the Year" category without the nomination of a hairstylist.
The "Men's Hairstylist of the Year" will honor a stylist who displays the most proficiency in the designs and techniques used in men's styling and grooming. Entrants in this category must master current men's commercial, contemporary and wearable styling trends.
By expanding the entry rules to allow make-up artists, an integral component to any NAHA entry, to enter the "Make-Up Artist of the Year" category without the nomination of a hairstylist, it is PBA's hope that make-up artists not affiliated with a stylist or salon will be encouraged to submit their work independently.
"By adding the NAHA Men's Hairstylist of the Year category and expanding the rules for how make-up artists can enter the competition, our hope is that more stylists and make-up artists will be encouraged to enter for a coveted NAHA. New participation will enhance NAHA overall and help bring recognition to more key areas of the professional beauty industry," said PBA Director of Industry Programs and Education, Jessi Marshall.
The entry process for the 2013 North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) will open December 1, 2012. For more information visit probeauty.org or call 800.468.2274 (480.281.0424).

Other than a little dust on its fur, a cat at 318 Main St. made it safely out of a tough situation thanks to the help of the Madison Fire Department.
Firefighters Kevin Williams and Robert Dunne were called by the homeowner to help rescue Squiggy on Wednesday. Squiggy was believed to have been stuck behind the refrigerator at the residence.
However, after Williams and Dunne removed the appliance they discovered no cat, but crying from beyond the wall behind the fridge. It was determined that the cat had actually fallen behind the wall and was trapped with no way to get out on its own.
Dunne used a mirror and a flashlight to locate the cat and watched from above while Williams cautiously cut a hole using a hand saw to allow Squiggy a way out. After about 15 minutes of cutting, Squiggy made his way out, as you can see in the photo provided by the Madison Fire Department.
The entire operation took about an hour, and the thankful homeowner is planning on having the area above the fridge closed off to prevent any similar incidents in the future.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
Languorous to the point of rambling, the story of double-crossing and vengeance is darkly funny, graphically violent and gorgeously shot.Claudia Puig, USA Today, 11.29.2012
Trading in pleasures of a deliberately rarefied sort, writer-director Andrew Dominik's talky, character-rich genre piece largely short-circuits thrills to sketch a grimly funny portrait of thugs taking care of business, in every rotten sense of the word.Justin Chang, Variety, 11.30.2012
The writer-director becomes so intent on hammering home the parallels between economic decay, political disappointments and petty criminals, there is nothing soft, or subtle, about it. He should trust his audience more.Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times, 11.29.2012
It isn't much of a movie. I might forgive the slow start if it weren't for the slow middle and slow end.Kyle Smith, New York Post, 11.29.2012

Rehabilitation plays an integral role in recovery from heart attack or heart surgery. At Advocate Christ Medical Center, our nationally certified comprehensive cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation program combines exercise and education to help patients improve their quality of life and reduce the number of secondary cardiac incidents.
Led by some of the region's premiere cardiac and rehabilitation experts, our three-phase program features telemetry monitoring during exercise, as well as extensive education regarding lifestyle modification, diet, medications and continued exercise to ensure long-term health. We also screen for depression, which is commonly seen among cardiac patients. As one of the few centers that does this screening, we can assist the patient's referring physician to identify the signs and treat the symptoms of depression as early as possible.
Learn more about:
We are proud to have received the Sustained Performance Award from the American Heart Association for our commitment to cardiac wellness. Where other programs provide blanket education about prevention, we provide customized information about proper nutrition, medications and potential risk factors based on each patient's specific condition. Patients are presented with information in each phase of recovery and rehabilitation so that they can begin true lifestyle changes at the time of discharge.

The Social Sciences include academic disciplines that focus on individuals in their connections with others in a wide variety of social groupings and in relation to various social institutions. These fields seek to understand the causes and consequences of human behavior in the interrelationships between social groups of all sizes, and of individuals within these groups. The B.A. in Social Science is a composite major drawing on the resources of several disciplines housed in four departments: sociology, political science, economics and psychology. The major is administered by the Department of Sociology.
The major is designed to provide students with a broad, diverse background as preparation for a variety of occupations in public and private service organizations. It is also a sound preparation for more advanced study in such fields as law, journalism, the ministry, social work or education.

Eastern & Southern Africa Office
Renewable Energy Consortium to transform Eastern Africa
This SEAF currently includes World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Practical Action, Bare Foot Power, GVEP International (the Global Village Partnership), SNV Netherlands, Tanzania Renewable Energy Association (TAREA) and is expected to grow to include more civil society, private sector as well as government agencies involved in sustainable energy access initiatives across the region.

40 years and forging aheadWWF has been involved in active conservation work in eastern and southern Africa since 1962, beginning with the purchase of land in Nakuru (Kenya) to allow for the establishment of an enlarged park to help support the conservation of the flamingos of Lake Nakuru.
Eastern and Southern Africa contains some of the world's most unique and spectacular bio-diversity. It is home to critical places (Coastal East Africa, Africa Rift Lakes, Miombo and the Namib-Karoo) and key flagship species (Great Apes, African Elephant, African Rhinos and Marine Turtles).
The challenges in this vast region are however daunting. Beyond the sheer geographical scale, these include huge population growth, poor governance/legislation, climate change (being one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change/variability, aggravated by low levels of adaptive capacity) and overexploitation of natural resources to feed ever-increasing foreign and national demands.
The office helps coordinate activities Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It also works closely with projects in Namibia and WWF's office in South Africa.
Consultancy Opening
Assessment of Financial Institutions and Financial Flows related to the Drivers of Land Use Change and Loss of Natural Capital in Coastal East Africa
A key underlying factor driving unsustainable human activity is investment and financial flows that underpin landuse and management decisions affecting the area's natural capital base.
WWF's Coastal East Africa GI would like to commission a consultancy to better understand supply chains and the resulting financial flows and key related actors for important sectors that may be influenced by changes in these flow patterns and behavior of actors.

The Minnesota Wild and Chicago Blackhawks are headed to overtime in Game 3 of their Western Conference Quarterfinal series. They ended regulation tied at 2-2.
Facing the prospect of a 3-0 series deficit if they lose this one, the Wild pressed through all three periods, outhitting the Blackhawks 31-13 and outshooting them 36-25 through regulation.
Zach Parise's impressive third-period goal looked like it could be the difference...
... but Duncan Keith blasted a shot past Josh Harding with 2:46 to go in regulation. Keith accepted a feed from Patrick Kane after Kane received a drop pass from Patrick Sharp. With plenty of time to shoot and bodies in front of Minnesota goalie Josh Harding, Keith had a good screen and golden opportunity to tie the game.
It is the second game of the day to head to overtime, and both games feature matchups between the respective first and eighth seeds in the Western and Easteron conferences. Earlier in the day on Long Island, the East's top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins beat the eighth-seed New York Islanders in overtime, 5-4.

Everything about Christmas that makes you happy and full of joy!
The 1st snow fall
Posted 10-02-2011 at 01:29 PM by Lynn68
I don'tthink there's any feeling like the feeling you get looking out the window at the 1st snow fall of the season. I love when it begins to fall on a weekend when I'm home with the family. We'll definately be found in the living room watching a great Christmas movie while sipping on either a mug of hot chocolate or a mug of warm spiced apple cider. Now and again I'll find myself staring out the window day dreaming of past Christmas mornings. Oh how the 1st snow fall warms my heart!! Please snow flakes, come before Christmas this year! There really is nothing quite like this time of year.

Come fall, area foodies will have a new cookbook to display on their shelves: Founding Farmers will release a restaurant cook book due out in October.
Located in Park Potomac, MD, and Washington, DC, Founding Farmers offers a seasonal, locally-sourced menu of comfort food.
According to a Founding Farmers announcement on Patch:
The Founding Farmers Cookbook will provide the home cook with recipes for one hundred of its most popular and beloved dishes, including appetizers, main courses, salads, sandwiches, condiments and sauces, pasta, sides, brunch items, and desserts. Included will be such signature favorites as Southern Pan-Fried Chicken and Waffles, Devil-ish Eggs, Skillet Cornbread, and Farmer Ellen's Carrot Cake among others from an archive of original recipes that have been enjoyed by guests from around the world, and featured in TV and online appearances and broadcasts.
"We see The Founding Farmers Cookbook as an opportunity to further strengthen our connection to our guests by sharing more about the inspiration for our menus, and as a way for them to enjoy our original recipes at home," said Dan Simons, restaurant development partner.
Will you purchase the Founding Farmers cookbook? What dishes do you want to see included?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know whether the new fordmobile navigation system will be using nokia maps. I have asked Ford but they have not yet responded so I was wondering if anyone here had any news. I have attached a press release which is the only information I have on it.
Any other information would be greatfully received or a point in the right direction for who to ask.
