What is it?
Over the past few years, reviews of new Hyundais have followed a very similar formula. One handsomely styled, dynamically competent and still well equipped and reasonably priced new model will come along to replace its fairly lacklustre predecessor notable only for its price – so think i10 for Atos, i30 for Accent or ix35 for Tucson. Good reviews duly follow.
But there's quite a bit more at stake for Hyundai with this new i30, for it's the first time it's replacing one of its 'new generation' of cars with another all-new car.
That means Hyundai's best-seller will not only be compared with its competent predecessor, but also increasingly strong competition in the family hatchback segment. In the four years since the outgoing i30 launched, it's not like the class-leading VW Golf and Ford Focus have stood still.
The i30 goes on sale in the UK next month priced from a very keen £14,495 for the entry-level model. Here we test the most potent 126bhp 1.6-litre diesel model. The engine starts from £19,295, but we're trying it out in range-topping Style Nav trim, which at £20,295 puts it firmly into Golf territory.
What's it like?
No longer is the i30 an option merely for those with at least one eye on the pennies. Almost every aspect of the outgoing car has been improved and Hyundai has ended up with a five-door family hatchback that really can be fairly high up the list of considerations for a buyer in one of the most hotly contested market segments.
For a start it looks much more distinctive. Sure, it won't be to all tastes, but it can no longer be mistaken for white goods. It's a theme that continues in the spacious interior; cabin design and quality is up there with a Focus, although admittedly we were only able to experience the luxuriously appointed Style Nav model.
The 126bhp, 192lb ft diesel is impressively frugal for an oil-burner of its power. Equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox, CO2 emissions are just 100g/km and combined economy is rated 74.3mpg.
Keep the engine spinning in the peak torque band of 1900-2750rpm and it's a fairly brisk unit. Power can rapidly drop off below this and it runs out of puff towards the 4000rpm mark, but learn to master the six slick ratios yourself, ignoring the generally misleading advice of the gear shift indicator, and progress can be swift.
The i30 rides and handles with a great deal of competence, too. Keep the i30 within its comfort zone (ie motorway jaunts and general urban pottering) as most owners will, then it's a very gentle, softly softly kind of car. The ride is settled, and bumps absorbed far beyond an acceptable level on even the most broken of surfaces.
It's a shame the steering and body control when cornering at low-mid speeds are not up to as much as the rest of the car. Hyundai offers the new i30 with its new 'Flex Steer' system, which offers three different modes for the electric steering: comfort, normal and sport. Don't bother with comfort; it's devoid of any feel. Sport just feels too artificially weighted and doesn't really solve the problem of precision. Best stick with normal mode, the lesser of three evils.
Should I buy one?
There was a video that did the rounds after the i30's reveal at the Frankfurt motor show of VW boss Martin Winterkorn checking out the car on Hyundai's show stand. Winterkorn was suitably impressed by Hyundai achieving with the i30 little things that you'd expect to have already been achieved on the Golf but haven't, including not being able to see the wiper blades from the inside and the steering column not making a noise when you move it.
"We can't do it, why can they?" says a puzzled Winterkorn to his entourage. When Winterkorn starts comparing his mighty Golf to the i30 in such minute detail, it reveals just how far Hyundai has come. He automatically expects Hyundai's new offering to be stylish, well equipped and of a high quality, so to him it's the small details that start to make the biggest differences.
While the i30 may no longer be as cheap as it was once you start heading towards the desirable engine choices, the fact that the generous standard equipment levels and five-year unlimited mile warranty remain makes for a compelling proposition.
If it could just be a bit sharper to drive Hyundai's appeal may well begin to extend into the enthusiast end of the market, as well as the value and mainstream buyers this car will surely impact on.

Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
This reads to me - "underpowered". 126bhp only, really? I know I keep on about this but they really could do with a unit with more grunt.
Other than that this looks to be a very competent and competitive car that lacks the last little bit of polish to make it desirable (well as desirable as you get in this class of car).
I am surprised they haven't done more in respects of ride and handling but then they feel they've hit a successful formula that generates sales, why bother?
It's all about the twisties........
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
It looks like a decent engine, but despite being a high spec version, over £20k just seems incredibly steep for a Korean car in this segment.
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
Underpowered really? It appears that only the new 130bhp Renault/Nissan 1.6 diesel is more powerful. Besides that I find it an oddly looking car. It is not attractive nor ugly, it just tries so hard to be good looking that the end result is not successful.
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
I agree, but then Hyundais are no the longer bargain basement cars they once were. As most of their cars are now decent and are as good as, if not better than, some rivals Hyundai appears to be charging more for the privilege, but many buyers will simply look at the badge and say I'm not paying that for a Hyundai.
But the other side of the story is that the i30 will still be cheaper than many rivals. A top spec Focus hatch now costs over £23k.
Another thing is that that Hyundai, and Kia, are able to make very good and competitive cars. Something which many Japanese marques seem to be struggling to do at the moment.
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
The waist line, as is the norm today, seems very high on the rear doors. I wonder if small people will be able to see out? :(
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
I think it looks great, compare it to a 130/140 bhp golf, focus, civic etc al and the price makes sense I think, especially given the trim level. I find the performance puzzling. 130bhp and it can't weigh any note than my current civic, only 10bhp less yet about 3 seconds slower to 60, can only assume its a gearing thing again or maybe a smaller capacity diesel with bigger turbo is starting to hot its limits here.
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
Looks like a facelifted Mazda 3 to me. But that's probably a good thing.
And it does seem expensive: not compared to list prices since no-one in their right mind would pay those. Compare to the price from a broker who will sell you a brand new 20,000 Focus diesel for 15,000.
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
Isn't it funny how manufacturers make you want things that you've never thought of before. After reading this article I've begun to realise how awful it is being able to see my windscreen wipers from the inside.
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
You state that this Hyundai is expensive because nobody pays list prices and then go on that a £20k Focus can be bought for £15k. Surely the same applies to Hyundai's as Fords through brokers?
For example a current model Hyundai i30 1.6 diesel is currently offered on the "Honest John" website through a broker for £10.5k.
Re: Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDi
I assume that all of the cabin's aluminium-look trim is in fact silver-painted plastic? Wish manufacturers would stop blighting their cabins with this tat, asap.

Is outside air really needed for a furnace?
I live in a 40 year old home in Boulder, Colorado. It has a high efficiency natural gas furnace that's one year old. We bought the place after this was installed. I've found an 8 inch round air supply duct coming directly in from outside that empties near the base of the floor. I noticed the lower level of the house was very cold and found a huge draft of cold air coming down this pipe.
The house has original windows and plenty of cracks around doors. Is this air supply pipe really necessary? What else could be done to keep the cold air out?
I'm no HVAC expert but I don't see the need or an 8" pipe emtying onto a floor. Yes your furnace needs outside air but not 8" of it and it should be ducted into the air chamber.
Lets see what the pro's have to say.
It would be unusual to have a modern high efficiency furnace that doesn't use outside air for combustion-- usually built right in to the ducting(coaxial with the discharge pipe) or into an airtight enclosure around the furnace. The vent you speak about may have been put there earlier for the old furnace to utilize outside air when people first learned about increasing the efficiencies of their old furnaces. You should verify that the new one is receiving outside air from somewhere else and then close off that duct or build an enclosure around the new unit and duct the air into that enclosure so it doesn't get into the other parts of your home.
In all cases, a hi-efficient furnace NEEDS combustion air, usually a 2" or a 3" diam. is adequate, and normally is placed very near, or right within the furnace itself.
If this 8" vent you are talking about is terminating at or near the floor level you can put an "anti-spill' pail around it that is slightly higher than the lowest level of the 8" vent. This will help eliminate any drafts and only allow any air to come in that is actually required for combustion purpose.
example; Let's say this 8" vent terminates 6" above the floor. A pail or container with a diam. of approx 10-12" and a heigth of approx 8" will do the trick.
Hello Berricks:
Yes, the furnace does need outside combustion air. Some houses supply that combustion air through leaks but modern homes are sealed very tightly and a seperate pipe to the outside is necessary. This is mentioned in several local and national building codes especially if the furnace is installed in a closet that is also sealed. Furnaces are typically installed next to the water heater too which requires more combustion air. The 8" pipe is the largest I have ever heard of being required. Also, remember most high efficeiency frunaces and water heaters have fan forced exhaust which moves a lot more air than gravity does.
Hube has a very good remedy with his pail.
I have the same drafty pipe (I think it's only 6") in the same location and same heigth off the floor. This is for combustion and pressure equalization. I also have a 4" pipe coming from outside to the end of the return duct manifold. This is for fresh air intake.
i see lots of ice build up around this pipe .. and the end of this pipe with container attached to the inlet duct of the furnace, seems like it is making the incoming air even colder and making furnance work harder than it should be.
Now its really cold (-40 Degree C ), thermostat is set at +35 degree c and its temp in the house is 10 degree c. Furnance is running non stop for last three days.
I was wondering if it will be ok if i move this thing couple feet away from the furance, since it will still be supplying enough oxygen.
I was wondering if i can put an electric heater inside the furnance room to eliminate this cold wind comming throuh this fresh air duct pipe.
I don't understand this. High efficiency furnaces use outside air for combustion only...you don't need "extra" air just to heat your house. Air is circulated through the supply and return system. These big pipes dousing the basement in frigid air really sounds counterproductive.
1. Combustion air was sucked in thru the air leaks in older homes
2. Next, people became concerned(read $$$) and put large ducts for cold outside air near their furnaces
3. Next, they realized this was bringing in too much extra cold air so they enclosed the furnace into a box and ducted the cold, outside air to it.
4. Next, furnace makers made ducts for combustion air conect directly to their furnace.
So... Some people are still back at #2, which works and might be fine for unused basements but it could be better with a little work.
I see! Thanks for the history lesson!

Oven cooking (not baking) at 6500' elevation
- c oliver Jul 25, 2008 04:50 PM
We have a second home at 6500' elevation and so deal with some cooking adjustments. What I haven't been able to solidly deal with is what my oven temp should be. I don't bake bread, cakes, etc. so it's roasting and general baking that I'm talking about. I generally turn the oven up about 25 degrees higher than a recipe states but I'm just not sure what works best. I roasted a chicken the other night (25 degrees higher) and it took MUCH longer than it should have. I would appreciate any information that anyone has. Thanks.
One thing that helps at high elevation is to raise the humidity in your oven. A shallow pan of hot water below the item you cook will do the trick. Hope this helps.
re: Antilope
Thanks for all the links and info. My mother-in-law lives at 5000' and I have no problem there. I always use my meat thermometer but "cook until done" doesn't always work. When the roast chicken takes 30 minutes longer than anticipated and you've timed other dishes somewhat around a shorter time AND dinner guests are starting to circle the range.... I'll check out all of these and try them. The humidity issue is interesting to me because it is VERY dry where we are. Thanks all.
The key point is that boiling water (and steam) is colder at higher altitudes. So cooking that is dominated by the transfer of heat from boiling water is going to take longer. That includes braising, simmering, and steaming. Dry heat cooking, such as grilling a steak or burger isn't affected as much. Roasting might fall somewhere in the middle. The oven temperature is determined by its thermostat, but transfer of that heat into and through the meat will be affected by moisture in the meat. That moisture will evaporate at a lower temperature. So the meat may dry out, and may take longer to heat up.
re: paulj
I live at 8500' and I agree with paulj.
Braising takes 20-30% longer than at sea level.
Steaming takes just a little longer.
Simmering varies a lot.
Some sauces take a little longer and need a bit more moisture to avoid too much boiling off.
Dry roasting is about the same: I do most meat at a low temp so evaporation is limited. I only use high heat on a roast to get a crust. I do filet mignon in a cast iron pan at 350 after browning on the stove -- works great: medium rare, moist and tender.
I generally use a convection oven 20degrees lower than a standard oven recipe calls for and times tend to work out.
I'm at almost 5000 ft. and I don't make a lot of adjustments, especially if you aren't baking. Cook 'til done. Use your thermometer.
I live at about 5600 feet, and find many things take longer (even baked potatoes)... the pan of water in the oven does help... but also, I tend to increase the temp about 15-25 degrees like you mentioned... I also use my dutch oven a lot... don't ask me the science behind it, but same with boiling water on the range top... things cook or boil faster with a lid on them.
I had to laugh about waiting for your chicken to cook... I nearly starved my dinner guests to death one night... ended up serving salad and side dishes... and then dessert... we ate the chicken the next night on a salad.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
I totally agree. But isn't it pathetic, you pay $ 500 to $ 1000 for an oven and then have to verify it's working correctly with a $ 5 thermometer? Shame on the oven manufacturers for not building more reliable, robust ovens with built in self checks. We have a digital oven/range that's about 3-years old and it was off by 50 degrees.
re: Antilope
I don't know about your digital unit, but the oven temperature adjustment for conventional electric ovens is just a little disk on the back of the oven control knob. It just alters how the numbers on the knob line up with the mark on the panel.
I have the same problem! I have great results at home with high-heat roasting, but when I visit my family in Wyoming, I'm often cooking for dinner parties. Roasts should be the easiest thing for a group, but not here! I start with the meat at room temperature, and it takes seemingly forever for the meat to come up to 100 degrees internally. Then, when the meat finally reaches the appropriate temperature for the doneness we want (usually medium-rare), and let it rest, we cut into it to find it done to medium-well or well!
Oven temperature is accurate & 2 instant thermometers confirm the meat temperature. I'll gladly try the pan of water in the oven, but I'd still appreciate other explanations/advice. I'm generally a good cook & this is very discouraging!
re: misspastina
I live at 7,800 feet, and if I cook beef to 112-115f and rest 5 minutes to achieve medium rare. I don't understand why it has to be that low, but after many very disappointing steaks and roasts, I just do it this way. I put a fixed meat thermometer into the center of the roast and then test in random spots (making sure the center is one of them) with a Thermopen, which is an instant read from the tip of the probe. I was told at a cooking class that the Thermopen works best to insert it all the way into the beef, then pull it out very slowly, getting readings from different depths of the meat. It seems to work great this way. I am still perfecting the Sous Vide temperature for beef, but it is not above 120f for sure. I will try 118 next time. I also don't understand the temperature variation in cooking, but I do know what works now. (So much for safe beef temperatures)

First Drive Reviewarrow
Honda Mean Mower: A 109-hp, 130-mph Lawn Tractor
It's absolutely terrifying. And we mean that in the best way possible.
You might not be surprised to learn that there is an internationally recognized speed record for a ride-on lawn mower. Our human impulse for speed is such that there's a record for pretty much anything with an engine.
But you might very well be surprised to learn that the record, which was set earlier this year using this heavily modified Honda mower, now stands at 116 mph. Having recently driven it—or ridden it, or whatever—we're flabbergasted.
More than Meets the Eye—but Not Really
Because this isn't, as you might expect, a purpose-built record-setting vehicle that's been made to look like a lawn mower. No, it's a lawn mower rebuilt to stand some chance of holding together at speed, with the engine from a Honda VTR Super Hawk motorcycle—but it's still fundamentally a piece of garden machinery. It drives enough like a lawn tractor to make 30 mph feel positively daring and 60 mph outrageously fast. The man who drove it to a speed of nearly two miles per minute, a British journalist named Piers Ward, clearly had either no fear or no imagination. Or more likely, none of either.
The mower was built in the U.K. by the team that runs Honda's cars in the British Touring Car Championship, Team Dynamics. It's based on a Honda HF2620 riding mower but has been given a new chassis made from high-strength steel, suspension and wheels from a Honda ATV, and four-wheel braking. The 109-hp, 996-cc V-twin engine was chosen for its combination of power and the ability to fit in the space left by the standard tractor's 20-hp V-twin. The transmission is a bike-derived six-speed sequential gearbox with electric actuation, and it drives an ATV rear axle via a chain. There's no reverse gear, but as the mower is said to weigh only 308 pounds without a rider, it doesn't really need one.
One of the stipulations for the Guinness world record is that the mower still has to be capable of cutting grass. To that end, the Mean Mower has a bolt-on fiberglass cutting deck—it can be separately bolted on or off as required—complete with two electric motors operated from the 12-volt electrical system. (The mower normally runs without the deck.) The company claims the Mean Mower can cut grass at up to 15 mph—twice the top speed of the standard HF2620. The space normally occupied by the clippings bag contains the fuel tank, radiator, and an extra oil cooler.
About the Drive
We aren't going to be setting any records today. The official run was carried out on the 1.2-mile-long straight at the IDIADA test track in northern Spain. Honda invited us to the considerably tighter environs of the Donington Park circuit in Leicestershire, England. We're warned that the Mean Mower doesn't like corners—it's been designed exclusively for straight-line speed.
Simply getting onto it is the first challenge. The standard tractor's groundskeeper-spec seat was binned in the transformation and a Cobra racing kart seat installed in its place. The idea, of course, is to hold its occupant securely in place, particularly if he or she is a lightweight 14-year-old F1 wannabe. But the squeeze of forcing yourself into the seat (if you're not a 14-year-old F1 wannabe) is nothing compared with the challenge of getting your feet in proximity to the widely spaced throttle, brake, and clutch pedals—all of which require you to practically bend your legs in half. It's like trying to find a comfortable driving position in a medieval torture device.Continued...

SILVER SCREEN FEDS: Interior IG finds Leslie Knope abused authority
April 25th, 2014 | Interior | Posted by Stephen Losey
SPOILER ALERT: The NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation ended its sixth season last night with the endlessly-optimistic public servant Leslie Knope becoming a federal employee by accepting a job as the National Park Service's Midwest Regional Director, and then talking her new boss into relocating the office to her hometown of Pawnee, Indiana. Which is great news for the show's viewers, but raises troubling questions about multiple violations of civil service rules.
FedLine has exclusively obtained a copy of the Interior Department's inspector general report into Regional Director Knope's activities:
To: Jonathan Jarvis, director, National Park Service
From: Mary Kendall, deputy inspector general, Interior Department
Subject: Abuse of authority by Midwest Regional Director Leslie Knope, National Park Service
We initiated an audit of NPS' abrupt relocation of its Midwest Regional Office from Chicago to Pawnee, Ind., after receiving several complaints from long-time NPS employees. We found multiple irregularities and violations of federal hiring authorities and facilities regulations on the part of newly-hired Regional Director Leslie Knope and her supervisor, Grant Larson.
Finding: The office's relocation to Pawnee was highly irregular.
Mr. Larson agreed to relocate an entire office, staffed with dozens of employees who resided in Chicago, on Ms. Knope's recommendation. While Pawnee's lower cost of living, proximity to many national parks and access to above-average breakfast food is advantageous, NPS did not conduct a full and open competition to decide which city to relocate the regional office to, in violation of federal regulations.
Once the decision to move to Pawnee was made, Mr. Larson failed to conduct a full and open competition to find acceptable office space, instead taking Ms. Knope's word that renting the third floor of the Pawnee City Hall would be most cost-effective.
The recent renovation of the third floor was apparently done in his spare time by Pawnee Parks and Recreation Director Ron Swanson. While Mr. Swanson's woodwork appears exemplary, we have concerns that a federal workspace was renovated without proper oversight, inspections and approvals.
In an interview, Mr. Swanson did not directly respond to our request for inspection records. He instead fixed a long, unbroken stare on investigators, and silently directed their attention to what appeared to be a Claymore land mine positioned on his desk. When we asked if the Claymore remained operational, Mr. Swanson giggled. Investigators advise that the presence of possible live explosives near a federal workspace represents an unacceptable risk.
In addition, NPS has received multiple EEO complaints about the murals on display in Pawnee City Hall, many of which have been called offensive to Native Americans, Asian Americans, Irish Americans, Jewish people, women and Presbyterians. The continued display of the murals may constitute a hostile work environment.
NPS employees also raised environmental concerns related to the move to Pawnee. Environmental Protection Agency studies have consistently found concentrated high-fructose corn syrup from the Sweetums factory has leached into Pawnee's water supply. Investigators concluded that relocation to Pawnee may present hazards to the long-term health of NPS employees.
Finding: Leslie Knope's tenure as regional director has been marked by rampant cronyism.
Ms. Knope's qualifications to be regional director are unassailable. Her work ethic, enthusiasm for public service, and knowledge of the fiscal and operational challenges facing parks programs are matched by none.
However, her loyalty to her friends has resulted in mismanagement of her new office, and the flagrant disregard of federal hiring regulations.
After accepting the job, Mr. Larson incorrectly told Ms. Knope that she could hire whomever she wanted. She then made multiple verbal offers of employment to her co-workers in the Pawnee Parks Department, without considering veterans preference, using the category rating system, or posting the vacancies on USAJOBS.gov. While Ms. Knope's dedication to federal hiring reform is admirable, we remain concerned her methods overlooked qualified candidates, and did not result in the best people being hired for the job.
Her employment of Pawnee employee Terry Gergich (AKA Larry, Jerry and Gary Gergich) is an example of the problematic hiring practices in Ms. Knope's office. Mr. Gergich was hired despite the fact that he displays no apparent skills or basic competence, and based on interviews, even appears unsure of what his actual first name is. In addition, Mr. Gergich is technically a retired Pawnee government employee, raising concerns about pension double-dipping.
During a recent visit, investigators observed Ms. Knope's friends April Ludgate and Andy Dwyer caring for her three children. It was unclear whether Ms. Ludgate and Mr. Dwyer remain government employees, but if that is the case, their provision of child care services during work hours to Ms. Knope would also present an ethical violation.
While Ms. Knope's behavior has been problematic, we find that it would not be cost-effective to find another location for the Midwest Regional Office at this late date. It is also too late to root out Ms. Knope's friends and associates from National Park Service positions without generating lawsuits. We advise Ms. Knope be reprimanded and told not to do it again.
The General Services Administration's Office of Inspector General has been advised of our findings and is preparing its own investigation.
SILVER SCREEN FEDS: Stan Beeman, FBI, 'The Americans'
May 3rd, 2013 | Justice | Posted by Stephen Losey
Silver Screen Feds returns this week with an in-depth look at a major character from this year's best new TV show: the Cold War spy drama "The Americans." I've enjoyed watching the gifted, flawed FBI counterintelligence agent Stan Beeman unfold over this show's premiere season. And after watching its May Day finale, I decided that Beeman is too complicated to shoehorn into a narrow "best" or "worst" category, so I'm going to examine both sides of his character. MAJOR SPOILERS for the first season follow.
"The Americans" primarily focuses on Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, two KGB agents who have been living undercover in Northern Virginia for decades, posing as husband and wife and raising two children while spying for the Soviet Union. As the show begins, right after President Reagan's 1981 inauguration, Beeman and his estranged family move in next door to the Jenningses.
Beeman (played by Noah Emmerich, who we previously profiled as the CDC scientist in "The Walking Dead") is extraordinarily good at the spy game, often thinking three moves ahead of his adversaries. Early on, he catches a Soviet embassy clerk named Nina selling Russian caviar to the black market, and uses that information to turn her into a double agent. Beeman's new mole begins feeding him valuable information on what is going on inside the rezidentura, allowing him to identify hidden Soviet spies and a sleeper cell of collaborating Americans.

SILVER SCREEN FEDS: 'Dante's Peak,' 'Point Break'
April 5th, 2013 | Justice | Posted by Stephen Losey
Welcome back to Silver Screen Feds! This week, Andy Medici brings us the most dashing federal volcanologist to ever be awarded a GS grade: Pierce Brosnan in "Dante's Peak." And Stephen Losey explains why our worst fed of the week IS AN EFF … BEE … EYE … AGENT!
BEST FEDS: Harry Dalton, U.S. Geological Survey, "Dante's Peak" (Andy Medici)
Deadly volcano? Check. Acid water, poisonous ash clouds and earthquakes? Check.
One federal employee willing to risk it all to save the lives of others? You know it.
In the 1997 film "Dante's Peak," Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) is a highly experienced and knowledgeable volcanologist at the U.S. Geological Survey who just happens to be the one person you would ever want with you in case your town's long dormant volcano suddenly erupts into a firestorm of ash and deadly lava. The small town of Dante's Peak — nestled ominously under a volcano of the same name — has just been named the second most livable city in America. But right away there are warning signs of volcanic activity and James Bond — I mean Harry Dalton — is dispatched to see what is going on.

SILVER SCREEN FEDS: 'Apollo 13,' 'The Simpsons Movie'
March 22nd, 2013 | NASA | Posted by Stephen Losey
Today on Silver Screen Feds, Andy Medici takes a look at the best team of federal employees ever to grace the big screen: Mission control from "Apollo 13." And keep reading for Stephen Losey's take on Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Russ Cargill, from "The Simpsons Movie" — the first character we've profiled who descends into outright super-villainy.
BEST FEDS: Mission Control, NASA, "Apollo 13″ (Andy Medici)
Most of the time, being a good federal employee requires working well as a team. Being able to finish projects on tight deadlines while dealing with multiple other priorities is a staple of any fed's tenure in government.
And in this case, there may be no better federal team in cinema than NASA's mission control from "Apollo 13." The 1995 film — directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon and lots of other people everyone recognizes — follows the journey of the Apollo 13 astronauts as they attempt to reach Earth safely after a disaster onboard the ship renders it nearly useless.

SILVER SCREEN FEDS: 'The Untouchables,' 'Boardwalk Empire'
March 15th, 2013 | Treasury | Posted by Stephen Losey
This week's edition of Silver Screen Feds goes back to the Roaring Twenties and the lawless days of Prohibition, to look at the best and worst Treasury agents who ever busted up a still on-screen: Legendary lawman Eliot Ness from the 1987 film "The Untouchables," and deeply disturbed Agent Nelson Van Alden from HBO's series "Boardwalk Empire."
BEST FEDS: Eliot Ness, Treasury Department, "The Untouchables" (Andy Medici)
How do you take down one of the most notorious criminals in America's history? How do you capture and convict a man responsible for gang violence, murder and untold corruption?
Why, with a Treasury Department employee of course.
And when your target is Al Capone — especially Robert De Niro playing Al Capone — your only hope is Kevin Costner as a highly stylized and ultimately effective Eliot Ness.

SILVER SCREEN FEDS: 'The Walking Dead,' 'Yogi Bear'
March 8th, 2013 | HHS | Posted by Stephen Losey
This week on Silver Screen Feds, we examine two federal employees who couldn't be any more different: Dr. Edwin Jenner, the doomed researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the zombie apocalypse show "The Walking Dead," and Ranger Smith, the hapless National Park Service ranger who can't stop Yogi Bear from stealing them pic-a-nic baskets.
BEST FEDS: Dr. Edwin Jenner, CDC, "The Walking Dead" (Stephen Losey)
Edwin Jenner holds a unique place in the pantheon of TV and movie feds: The last civil servant on Earth.
Towards the end of the first season of "The Walking Dead," a desperate band of survivors makes their way to the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, hoping to find refuge. What they don't know is that Jenner is the only person left at CDC. He continues to singlehandedly study the brain tissue of a zombie — dubbed TS-19 — desperately hoping to find a cure. But the exhausted Jenner knocks over a vial inside an airlocked laboratory, triggering its automatic decontamination procedures. Jenner escapes the lab, but can do nothing but watch helplessly as the laboratory engulfs all the remaining samples in flames, destroying his work and all possibility of finding a cure.

SILVER SCREEN FEDS: 'Breaking Bad,' 'Seinfeld'
March 1st, 2013 | Justice | Posted by Stephen Losey
We began our new feature Silver Screen Feds last week with a look at the heroic postal workers in "Miracle on 34th Street" and the smug Environmental Protection Agency agent from "Ghostbusters." This week, we examine a far less-honorable mailman — Newman from "Seinfeld" — and the surprising heroism of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Hank Schrader in "Breaking Bad."
BEST FEDS: Hank Schrader, DEA, "Breaking Bad" (Stephen Losey)
The main character of the dark crime drama "Breaking Bad" is Walter White, a once-milquetoast high school chemistry teacher who uses his genius and cunning to cook crystal methamphetamine after learning that he has terminal lung cancer. But season after season, as the increasingly amoral Walter transformed into his criminal alter ego Heisenberg, the true hero of "Breaking Bad" has become his brother-in-law — DEA agent Hank Schrader. [Spoilers for the entire show follow.]
Hank's character has changed almost as much as Walter. When the show debuted five years ago, Hank was a boorish, casually racist loudmouth, fond of humming "Ride of the Valkyries" while descending on a meth lab. But his character soon developed surprising facets. After narrowly surviving a parking lot ambush by The Cousins, a pair of chilling cartel assassins (link contains graphic violence), the temporarily-paralyzed Hank was forced to hone his detective skills as he hunted the shadowy, mythical Heisenberg. In the process, he became a far more effective cop than he ever had been, and closed the net on unassuming fried chicken restauranteur and philanthropist Gus Fring's hidden drug empire.

SILVER SCREEN FEDS: 'Ghostbusters', 'Miracle on 34th St.'
February 22nd, 2013 | Postal Service | Posted by Stephen Losey
Welcome to a new ongoing feature here at FedLine: Silver Screen Feds! Your trusty FedLine bloggers don't just breathe federal government news day in and day out. We're also die-hard pop culture geeks, and nothing entertains us more than seeing how federal employees are portrayed on television and in film.
Hollywood's depiction of feds runs the gamut — from dashing heroes to hissable villains, from incompetent comic relief to self-sacrificing martyrs. In this series, we're going to take a lighthearted look at the Best and Worst feds in television and movie history. Every Friday, we'll profile two characters — one depicting the best federal employees have to offer, and one not-so-great fictional fed. We may even focus on a few who blur the line between good and bad.
And we'd like to hear from you. E-mail FedLine bloggers Stephen Losey or Andy Medici with your favorite feds from film or television.
For this first entry, Andy takes a look at the postal workers who save the day in the 1947 classic "Miracle on 34th Street." And Stephen examines the tragic flaws that bring down the Environmental Protection Agency's Walter Peck in 1984′s "Ghostbusters."

Energy's Steven Chu has an awesome sense of humor
February 7th, 2013 | Energy | Posted by Stephen Losey
The Onion today published an amusing story with the headline "Hungover Energy Secretary Wakes Up Next To Solar Panel." It contains an incriminating photo of a perplexed Steven Chu in bed wearing a tank-top, and this classic quote: "This is bad. I really need to stop doing this. I've got to get this thing out of here before my wife gets home."
But what is even better than the story is this: Chu actually responded on his official Facebook page, and denied the alleged affair with a solar panel was behind his decision to step down from the Energy Department. Said Chu:
I just want everyone to know that my decision not to serve a second term as Energy Secretary has absolutely nothing to do with the allegations made in this week's edition of the Onion. While I'm not going to confirm or deny the charges specifically, I will say that clean, renewable solar power is a growing source of U.S. jobs and is becoming more and more affordable, so it's no surprise that lots of Americans are falling in love with solar.
Ahem. "Not going to confirm or deny the charges"? We can read between the lines, Mr. Secretary. (Hat tip to Mike Sager for giving me a heads up on this one.)

Friday Fun: #eastwooding at the RNC
August 31st, 2012 | Politics | Posted by Stephen Losey
Last night, Clint Eastwood was The Man With No Speech. The legendary actor and former mayor of Carmel, Calif., took the stage at the Republican National Convention shortly after 10 p.m. EST to warm the crowd up for Mitt Romney. What followed was a seemingly improvised, 12-minute address to an empty chair he pretended had an invisible Barack Obama.
Apparently prompted by an enthusiastic crowd member, Eastwood finished his freewheeling speech by leading the crowd in his classic Dirty Harry line: "Go ahead, make my day." (Which was the obvious Eastwood quote, of course. But I have to confess: I was sort of hoping he'd say, "Right turn, Clyde." Every Which Way But Loose just doesn't get enough love in my book.)
Eastwood's antics lit up Twitter, and launched a new meme. Someone immediately started an "Invisible Obama" account. And within minutes, the hashtag #eastwooding was trending on Twitter as people posted photos of themselves (or their Corgi) haranguing empty chairs. Even an enterprising Photoshopper got Grampa Simpson in on the act.
The Obama campaign also had fun with the speech's surreality. When asked for comment, Politico said, the Obama campaign referred questions to Salvador Dali. And the campaign tweeted this photo with the caption, "This seat's taken."

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The party don't start till he walks in.
Guaje scores! Assisted by Messi.
It was beautiful. literally beautiful. I can't think of anything else to describe the match. It WASN'T perfect but it was Barça and that's all I wanted.
Mascherano and Piqué and the defense gave me like six heart attacks but its whatever. When the ball hit the post!
I'm still in awe. It was so great. We truly had everything going for us. I knew we were going to score within the first ten minutes. It's such a Barça/Messi thing to do. And when Guaje scored! Lets just say it was a good thing no one else was around (cause they'd have been legitimately scared by the inhuman noises coming from me).
I love this match so much, not because we're now in the quarters for the Champions League but for what it actually means to Barcelona and their fans. They asked us for their support, their trust and we gave it to them, wholeheartedly. At least I know I did. 200%. Nothing is impossible for Barcelona.
I'm in a state of euphoria right now. It's kind of ridiculous.
4-0 FOR TITO. Tots units fem força!
Adios culés. :)

If you're looking to get your license, learn to lift either wheel or pursue some lightweight urban thrills, the 125 Duke can do it for you. It doesn't seem like a regular, budget 125 machine; It feels like a premium motorcycle that just-so-happens to be low capacity. It's a shame engine modifications only allow restriction and not an enhancement of ...
659cc, 48.6bhp, 105mph, Insurance group 10
The Derbi Mulhacen 659 is Derbi's first stab at a motorcycle bigger than 125cc, and is a brazen, trend-setting joy. The combination of concept motorcycle styling, Yamaha XT660R mechanicals and funky. Top notch cycle parts adds up to a street-savvy, flat track styled city scalpel of a motorcycle. Outside Soho, however, the Derbi Mulhacen 659 is an irrelevant ornament…
124cc, 33bhp, 90mph, Insurance group 4
The Derbi GPR125 is arguably one of the most beautifully styled 125 motorcycles ever made. On a murky day you might mistake it for a baby Ducati or MV Agusta motorcycle. The Derbi GPR125 also goes very well (de-restricted of course ) and handles just like a racing motorcycle, with firm suspension and a substantial 300mm front disc brake. The Derbi GPR125 is a ...

The Aprilia Atlantic 500 is somewhat boat-like as super scooters go, and heavy with it, but the Atlantic is nevertheless remarkably sprightly. 2005's updates modernised the look and updated the frame and suspension. The Aprilia Atlantic 500 is roomy, stable, practical, rides well with great brakes and lots of nice little touches. Even hardcore bikers could have fun on this.
659cc, 50bhp, 112mph, Insurance group 9
The Aprilia Pegaso 650 is a stylish street motorcycle that's more supermoto than its traillie-esque predecessors. Easy to ride and with great handling, it's an ideal motorcycle for newbies and, with its lower seat option, smaller riders too. Shame the Aprilia Pegaso 650 has snatchy fuel injection but it sure looks great.

Costa Mesa, CA 92627
Category: Music Venues
Region: Costa Mesa
Santoros' Detroit Bar residency has been flipping amazing thus far, bringing various Lolipop records artists to come and support the long-haired rock group every Monday night for free. Drinking Flowers is another such band to look out for; their fuzzy guitar is supported by calm, echo-y vocals and reverb, sounding like a calmer, more toned down version of Thee Oh Sees. Simultaneously reminiscent of the drony alt-rock of the early '90s and the trippy incantations of Syd Barrett, the stage will surely reverberate with Drinking Flowers' hypnotic sound, and perhaps inspire some deeper moods within you. Playing tonight with fellow psych- alt rockers Santoros, Levitation Room and Mr Elevator and The Brain Hotel.

The Mandarin gets another shot.
As before, any talk of The Mandarin must come loaded with MAJOR IRON MAN 3 SPOILER ALERT...
We've been teased with a few pics, but here's the first official clip from All Hail The King, the upcoming Marvel short film (or 'one-shot', as Marvel are calling it) featuring returning star Sir Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin.
The classic Marvel villain, who in a surprise and controversial twist in the Iron Man sequel turned out to be a drunken British actor called Trevor Slattery, is being given his own short which will look at the aftermath of the film.
The short sees Slattery embarking on a new life in prison, being interviewed by a journalist (Scoot McNairy).
The short will be released on the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Thor: The Dark World.

11:07 AM PT -- TMZ has just obtained a photo of Lamar's Mercedes SUV inside the tow yard, where his car was taken after the DUI arrest.
10:05 AM PT -- According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept., Odom was released from custody at 8:33 AM. However, it's unclear if Odom has actually left the station yet.
9:17 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officers at the scene smelled alcohol on Lamar and believe he was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol. The sources say Lamar's driving and conduct were consistent with drugs. We're told there were no drugs or alcohol found in Lamar's car ... only cigarettes, 2 bottles of cologne and other innocuous items.
Lamar Odom was arrested for "driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs" early Friday morning ... TMZ has learned.
The bust occurred in the San Fernando Valley at 3:54 AM. Lamar -- who was driving a white Mercedes SUV -- was popped by the California Highway Patrol and taken to a nearby station, where he was booked and is being held on $15,000 bail.
He was pulled over on the 101 Freeway for going too slow -- 50 MPH. Cops say Odom had been driving in a "serpentine manner."
Lamar initially did not respond to cops, and drove 3 exits before finally coming to a stop. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ he showed obvious signs of intoxication.
Lamar failed numerous field sobriety tests.
When Lamar was booked, we're told he refused all chemical tests.
Lamar's booking sheet shows he is 6'10" and 235 lbs.
Lamar has been tooling around town lately ... this after TMZ broke the story he had been on a crack binge.
Now we know why Kyle left the scene of her accident yesterday before the cops arrived
Lamar you are going to need one of these www.stealthiid.com since LA County requires Ignition Interlock Device after your first DUI
So OJ's baby girl and her mama finally drove this guy to his breaking point. After spreading drug use rumors he crawled home and they weren't done with him yet. Divorce her now Lamar. Kanye you better pack your balls and head for the hills only a matter of time before your baby mama does the same. Mama kris your house if Kartrashian is crumbling down cause the public knows you are behind this guys downfall. You and your daughters are disgusting and tmz sucks too for helping them.
Its really ****ed up for celebs any slip and tmez is right their to blast yo ass.
Also, keep your ears open for the Ambien excuse. Hey, it works for he Kennedys.
......and Kris Jenner made a sex tape.... Bahwaaaha!
You can find it in the horror movie section...
Run Lamar run....................your troubles continue to mount. The K family would drive anyone crazy. There's still a chance (albeit slim) that some NBA team will sign you for the veterans minimum. If you get a contract, take the money and get the hell out of Calabasas.
Take responsibility for your own actions....I AM SICK of these CHEAP millionaires driving around loaded and putting us all at risk....LIMO STUPID!
When cops pulled Lamar over they noticed a strong unidentified foul odor coming from the car - when they asked Lamar what the smell was he said " yo man thats Unbreakable BY Khloe and Lamar .... Its the unisex fragrance by my wifey and me "
So very sorry for him.
how this man doesn't get pulled over all these years and now that he is on CRACK, AMBIEN, OXYCONTIN, on a drug binge, does he get pulled over?
Kris probably called the cops to get him busted
Khloe needs to divorce this dude. How come you work so hard to get out of the ghetto. To go right back and start working with the devil.
The kardashians are trash. But I kinda feel sorry for khloe. No wife should have to go through this. Khloe is the only sane one in the family.
all that gamilly is a waste of ****

Army research official visits Afghanistan on Flickr.
BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan — A senior research and development leader spoke with Army officials here June 9 to 16. Army leaders in the field are seeking technology solutions for complex challenges.
"The commanders have a need for low-cost quick release systems for airdrop bundles," said Dr. Jack Obusek, Ph.D., Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center director. "A quick release system would prevent cargo from being swept out of friendly hands when parachutes get dragged on the ground in high winds conditions."

In an expected move, the Toronto Raptors are set to buy out veteran center Marcus Camby in order to allow him to go play for a contender for his remaining years in the NBA.
It sounds as if Camby will not have to wait long to find a new home, as both the Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls reportedly have interest.
Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports broke the news first via Twitter:
The Raptors are expected to buy out newcomer C Marcus Camby on the final 2 years of contract soon, a source told Y! LAC, CHI, HOU interested
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) July 17, 2013
Again, not a shocking move considering Camby has been vocal all offseason about his desire to play for a contender. Of course, it comes down to whether or not he believes the Bulls or Rockets can be contenders as well.
In either scenario, Camby would have to sit on the bench. Houston is a hot destination right now because of Dwight Howard coming to town. That's not to say Chicago is not a contender, but there is a the question mark that is Derrick Rose's knee.
We'll have the latest when the move goes official.

Emily McAninch, a 10-year-old fifth grader at the West Point Middle School, was recently recognized by the Metropolitan New York Professional Golf Association (PGA) for a season of accomplishments that included a tie for first place at the nine-hole championship played at the Westchester Country Club in August. Emily shot a 40 on the par 27 executive course at Westchester, and also placed in the top 3 in five other tournaments held over the summer in the girls 7-11 age group of the PGA youth golf program. Emily received the awards in a ceremony held at Bethpage State Park Monday. Emily credits her success to the teaching of West Point Golf Course pro Andy Crane. Read More

"Microsoft is winning the NAC war, expert says"
Taken from the article:
"...the key is that people seem to be willing to let Microsoft take a leading role in NAC (Network Access Control). So we really focused on that: what comes built-in with XP SP3 and Vista? And then how do you extend things if you don't like what's built-in? We definitely had other policy decision points besides MS NPS---Cisco, Avenda Systems, Juniper, and Radiator, plus FreeRADIUS sort-of. Even on the client side, there are interesting things. For example, you can add more system health agents/verifiers, or you can go for other supplicants, or you can do non-Windows or pre-XPSP3 operating systems, or you can worry about other devices, like cameras and VoIP phones and printers. What we ended up with was about a dozen demonstrations, all showing what you need for a complete NAC solution. And it really focused on "let's start with Microsoft and work out from there."
I'm really looking forward to more and more 3rd parties writing their own Security Health Agents and Security Health Validators to extend the default configuration and capability of NAP, especially with non-PCs, like Mobile devices, cameras and printers. I blogged about the Forefront team doing just that, in this video, where they have written a Forefront Security Health Validator for NAP, to extend the functionality to a more granular level.

BJP has proved that it does not respect constitutional bodies: Congress
Commenting on the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) decision to stage a protest against the Election Commission in Varanasi and Delhi, the Congress on Thursday said the former has proved that it does not respect constitutional bodies. "This protest is a part of their strategy which included violating the model code of conduct. The BJP is proving again that it does not respect constitutional bodies," said Congress spokesman Meem Afzal.
"Modi has done around 400 meetings and no one had stopped them from doing them. If he is not given permission for one rally, then it should not be a big deal. Many times people had already booked some place in advance. If he is the prime ministerial candidate, then it does not mean that others bookings are cancelled just for his sake," he added.
"They were given a permission, but if they refuse it, and instead, choose to protest. I want to warn people that it might be their intention to cause unrest in that area through their protest," he said.
The BJP is outraged after the Varanasi District administration denied permission to Modi for holding one of the two rallies in Varanasi on Thursday.
The party will protest in Varanasi and Delhi against the decision. BJP leader Arun Jaitley, along with Amit Shah, will lead the protest in Varanasi.
The BJP had sought permission to organise five events which included a rally by Modi in Beniya Bagh ground in Varanasi.
Modi is contesting from the holy city of Varanasi that will go to polls in the last phase of elections on May 12.
BJP senior leader Arun Jaitley called the move as unprecedented, and said it was a deliberate interference in conducting free and fair polls in the world's largest democracy.

City man popped doing 134 mph down I-293
Wagner said Daniel Pirok, 34, was inebriated when police began a chase near the Mall of New Hampshire about 2 a.m. Thursday that didn't end until Pirok was in Bedford. He was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance.
Wagner said police obtained a search warrant and found a loaded handgun, cocaine, a "large sum of money," an AK-47 rifle and an AR-15 rifle.
He said Pirok had a permit to carry the handgun. He said Pirok had two high-capacity clips for the rifles. The clips were filled with bullets, but not loaded into the weapons, he said.
Wagner said police obtained a warrant to search Pirok's home, where police found scales, plastic bags, a small amount of cocaine, 30 unidentified pills and $6,000 in cash.
Pirok was being held Thursday at Valley Street jail in Manchester.

This morning on ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike, there were a few discussions about Mount Rushmores. Not the actual American landmark, but rather variations of it.
For instance, for the Mt Rushmore of Basketball, the radio hosts anointed Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlin, Bill Russell, and Oscar Robertson. They both agreed, and it was a pretty easy-going discussion.
However, when the discussion shifted to the Mt Rushmore of Sports Movies Characters, several names came about. Having four members of a Mt Rushmore is not the only guarantee in this fun, yet though provoking exercise. Every time, no matter what the topic, you will have arguments, disagreements and banter.
Case in point the last category we mentioned. Everyone can agree on Sly Stallone's Rocky being the most iconic sports movie character of all time, but after that, things get hairy. Do you go with Bill Murray's Carl Spackler from Caddyshack, Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore, Denzel Washington's Coach Boone from Remember the Titans, Emilio Esteves as Gordan Bombay in The Mighty Ducks, Jamie Foxx as Willie Beaman in Any Given Sunday, Mickey Rourke as "The Ram" in The Wresteler, or some other iconic characters? A crazy discussion for sure!
The same can happen in food. And here at FoodSided it will. Periodically, I will be posting my Mt Rushmores of Food. The top four iconic members of some of these food categories.
- Sandwiches
- Breakfast
- Meat Products
- International Specialities
- Pizza Flavors
- Ice Cream Flavors
- Cookies
- Cakes & Pies
- Beverages
- Adult Beverages
- Fried Foods
- Candy — If you like candy, check out our NFL Candy Mock Draft!
- Home-Cooked Meals
- Fast Food Menu Items (Store Specific)
- Frozen Foods
- Dorm Room Foods
- Tailgating
- And Many More!
If you have some suggestions of what other Mt Rushmores of Food we should cover, comment here or tweet us at @FoodSided with the hashtag #MtRushmoresofFood
Be sure to follow along all the action under our Featured Columns tab on the FoodSided.com homepage.
Let the debates begin!

It was only two years ago that Windows 8 was unleashed on the world. Microsoft tried to usher in an era of "Touch First" applications with a new look and feel for Windows. To say that Windows 8 was unsuccessful would be an understatement, and from both Microsoft's and user's perspectives, it was certainly a failure. Two years in, Windows 8 and its 8.1 derivative have struggled to gain market share over Windows 7 and XP, which still command the lion's share of the desktop OS pie. A new interface, unfamiliar to users, did little to sway their wallets, and other market factors have come in to play as well. Looking back at Windows 8, it was a big change from a company that...

Yemaya Okute by Maria Alemanno
Yemaya Okute (or Yemoja Ogunte) is a young, warrior Yemaya. She is the wife of Ogun and lives half the year in the ocean and half the year in the woods. The machete is her tool.
My Godfather Shloma Rosenberg Afolabí Awoyoyomí's (iba'ye) crowning Orisha Yemoja! I have never before or since seen a more beautiful altar for an Orisha. I miss Yemoja Assesu and Shloma (iba'ye) so much! <3
The level of detail on this Oju Yemoja is stunning. The mazo was so heavy! And Yemoja's tinaja is handmade and rests on top of another tinaja, also handmade, which is inside a large bowl full of plates from the 23 priests Shloma (iba'ye) crowned before he died. On top of her are two crowns (I remember three, though?), between which are holding up the gorgeous cloth that makes her cape in this photograph. In the lower left of the photograph is, I believe, Otin, a rare Orisha who is the servant of Yemoja.
