COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Jared Berggren scored Wisconsin's final five points -- including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 31 seconds left -- and the 16th-ranked Badgers beat No. 8 Ohio State 63-60 on Sunday.
Jordan Taylor had 19 points and Ryan Evans 10 for the Badgers (21-8, 10-6 Big Ten), who made up for an earlier loss at home to the Buckeyes.
With Ohio State (23-6, 11-5) up by a point, Berggren swished a shot from beyond the arc on the left wing. When the Buckeyes called timeout to set up a play, the Badgers and a small contingent of fans celebrated.
Deshaun Thomas had 23 points for Ohio State. William Buford had 15 and Aaron Craft 13.
The loss gave Michigan State a share of the Big Ten title.

Securing America: IRS Under Scrutiny [VIDEO]
Calls come from both the right and the left to stop further abuses by the Internal Revenue Service of political non-profits.
FOX News Radio's Mike Majchrowitz has a look in today's installment of our on going series on national security:
Audio clip:
Securing America.
The President made no attempt to defend the IRS after admitting it's employees had targeted conservative groups.
(President Obama) "That is outrageous. It is contrary to our traditions. And people have to be held accountable and it's gotta be fixed."
Hearings are expected in both the Republican-controlled House and the Democratically controlled Senate. Ohio House Republican Mike Turner wants action now to stop a repeat.
(Turner) "We want to make sure not only that people are held accountable, we find out what happened, but that this doesn't happen again. By making it a crime we can be assured that people won't be doing this again."
Turner authored a bill that would make it a crime for IRS employees to discriminate against individuals or groups this way.
At the White House, Mike Majchrowitz, FOX News Radio.

DEFINITION of 'IRA Rollover'
A transfer of funds from a retirement account into a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. This can occur either through a direct transfer or by a check, which the custodian of the distributing account writes to the account holder who then deposits it into another IRA account.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'IRA Rollover'
If the transfer is done by check, there will be a 20% withholding penalty applied before the custodian issues the check. To avoid the 20% penalty, the rollover must take place directly from one custodian to another.
Many IRAs will only allow one rollover per year on an IRA to IRA transfer. The one-year calendar runs from the time the distribution is made. Most rollovers occur when people change jobs and wish to move 401(k) or 403(b) assets into an IRA. Most IRAs offer more investment choices along with a continuation of tax-free gains and income.
IRA rollovers can occur from a retirement account such as a 401(k) into an IRA, or as an IRA to IRA transfer. A rollover can occur into a Roth IRA provided that the individual's adjusted gross income is below a certain level in the tax year in which the rollover occurs.

(lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) Powder Intradermal Injection System
Zingo™ (lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) powder intradermal injection system contains 0.5 mg of sterile lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate.
The chemical name is 2-diethylamino-2',6'-acetoxylidide, monohydrochloride, monohydrate. The molecular formula is C14H22N2O · HCl · H2O with a molecular weight of 288.8 Da. Lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate, a local anesthetic of the amide class, has the following structural formula:
Lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate is freely soluble in water, soluble in alcohol and chloroform, insoluble in ether, and melts at around 74–79°C.
Zingo™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) is a ready-to-use, sterile, single-use, disposable, needle-free delivery system. Zingo™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) consists of the following components: a drug reservoir cassette filled with 0.5 mg lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate as a powder with a nominal particle size of 40 µm, a pressurized helium gas cylinder, and a safety interlock. The safety interlock prevents inadvertent actuation of the device. Once Zingo™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) is pressed against the skin, the interlock is released, allowing the button to be depressed to actuate the device. A sound similar to that of a popping balloon is emitted at the time Zingo™ (lindocaine hydrochloride monohydrate) is actuated.

Shares of
) crafted a new 52-week high, touching $11.06 in the final hour
of the trading session on Jun 10, 2013. The closing price of this
financial holding company represents a solid year-to-date return
of 26.5%. The trading volume for the session was 15.3 million
shares, substantially higher than the average 10.3 million over
the last 3 months.
Despite hitting its 52-week high, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock
has plenty of upside left given its strong estimate revisions
over the last 60 days and expected year-over-year earnings growth
of 0.72% for 2013.
Growth Drivers
The recent dividend hike, impressive first-quarter 2013 results
and capital deployment activities were the primary growth
On May 16, KeyCorp announced a 10% hike in its quarterly
dividend, following the approval of its 2013 capital plan in
March. KeyCorp declared a quarterly cash dividend of 5.5 cents
per share to be paid on Jun 14 to shareholders of record on May
28. Moreover, KeyCorp's capital plan included a share repurchase
program worth $426 million to be completed by the end of
first-quarter 2014.
On Apr 18, KeyCorp reported adjusted first-quarter 2013 earnings
of 22 cents per share. This was marginally ahead of the Zacks
Consensus Estimate as well as the year-ago earnings of 20 cents.
Results were aided by a rise in net interest income and almost
stable operating expenses, partially offset by a fall in fee
income. Moreover, continued improvement in asset quality and
strong capital ratios were the other highlights of the quarter.
Moreover, KeyCorp has delivered positive earnings surprises in
the 3 of the last 4 quarters with an average beat of 9.4%.
Estimate Revisions Show Strength
Over the last 60 days, 7 out of 19 estimates for 2013 have been
revised upward, lifting the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.7% to
89 cents per share. For 2014, 7 out of 19 estimates moved higher
over the same time frame, helping the Zacks Consensus Estimate
advance 2.1% to 97 cents per share.
Some banks that are worth considering include
Enterprise Financial Services Corp

Old Second Bancorp Inc

Privatebancorp Inc

10 Rescued Dogs Taken To Wellington Shelter For Care
For Pet Lovers
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A small handful of the dogs rescued from a home in Hialeah Friday are getting help from Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Wellington.
The founder of the animal shelter traveled to Miami Saturday and rescued 10 emaciated and mange-covered dogs, reported CBS4 news partner, The Miami Herald.
The dogs were part of 51 dogs discovered in a Hialeah home when police were investigating the natural death of a man.
They were taken to the Miami-Dade Animal Services facility, but there was not enough room for all of them.
The Big Dog Ranch Rescue plans to take another 10 of the dogs soon.
Most of the dogs are dachshund mixes.

Parent involvement
My toddler started at MPCC in September of last year, right when she was 18 months old. I have been extremely impressed with the school, both due to her progress as well as the sense of community the school provides. I have not experienced what others have discussed with regards to the "inner circle"...everyone has been extremely welcoming. I will say that parental involvement is very important and expected at this school, so if you are looking for a place where you can just drop off and pick up, this is likely not the school for you. The move to the new building offered us the opportunity to meet the other parents and teachers, with everyone working towards a common goal. The school really is like a second home, where everyone knows you and cares about the future of your child.
This school is not for everyone, but it is for parents and students who are reflective about early childhood and elementary education, who think education is holistic and not compartmentalized, who think that relationships between staff, teachers and parents are very important, and who think students have tremendous capacities that should be explored and allowed to develop in individuals ways. Students are often trained to follow instructions, not think because being able to follow instructions precisely is what is rewarded. At this school, what is cultivated (not rewarded) is learning, curiosity, teamwork and problem-solving. What children in other schools are told to learn by following instructions, children at this school learn because they are self-motivated to discover it themselves. As for parent involvement, there are time commitments and slight headaches because of the nature of collective, democratic and inclusive decision-making. Those inconveniences are a small price to pay for having direct input into the quality education of your children and your children's classmates. And the benefits of the Coop are great. Access to information is far greater than other schools.
This is my second child to attend Montessori preschool, but our first at MPCC and we LOVE it. It is a nurturing place, and I like that it is nonprofit and parents are involved (as little or much as desired). I've had experience with two other preschools/daycare and also public elem school and I'm much happier with my ability to be involved and to make a difference at MPCC. My daughter has only been there a year and I don't know everyone, nor am I in the "inner circle," but I don't want to be. We're a dual career family and we do the minimum (and that's ok). There are some parents who are more invested because they've had kids at the school for ten years or more. But I find that there is always some way to get involved if one is willing to step up. At my older daughter's for profit Montessori, our high tuition went to the owner's pocket--here we see the financials each month and see our $ pays for teachers and the facility and educational materials. More important, my daughter loves going to school each day, she is thriving, and we are happy with her care. Plus the facility is beautiful and people are friendly. We plan to stay until kindergarten, maybe longer.
The environment at the school is affected by the way it is run. Be prepared to contend with a lot of politics. As was stated earlier on this forum, there is an inner circle of parents in this school. The term "coop" as well as the monthly meetings for parents are deceptive. You will not have a say in the decisions the school makes if you are not a member of this inner circle. Be prepared for politics as well as pressure to ask your friends and family to write donation checks to the school. In accordance with another parents remark, there is no transparency. Teachers are frequently absent and in the 6 months we were there, two teachers quit abruptly and we were given no insight into the situation. I was bombarded several times by different parents, in an effort to sway my votes during the parent meetings. In the instances when this happened, children were around and listening. It occurs to me that some of the parents at MPCC enjoy the political nature of this organization. However, I felt it detracted from my primary goal which was my child's education and development and it created an atmosphere that was more about politics and bureaucracy than what was best for the students.
MPCC is a really unique place. It has felt like a second home for my daughter. I am a developmental psychologist by training and the principles of child development that I really believe are crucial for healthy development are all found here. My child has freedom within limits, is self directed, and her social and emotional needs are equally valued.
My daughter has been in the toddler room for nearly a year and we could not be happier about her classroom. Her teachers are intelligent and caring and do a wonderful job of imparting the Montessori values and curriculum. The school is a bit disorganized administratively at times, but it's not for lack of caring. Sometimes it's because parents do a good bit of the administrative work and we all have other priorities at times. The school just moved to a new location and the administrator and staff are trying to figure out all the logistics for everything. The building is lovely, the staff are caring, and my kid is happy to go to school and still happy when I pick her up at the end of the day. She's also just barely over age 2 and surprised me the other night be telling me the sounds that several letters make. And compared to her last childcare situation, she has hardly ever been sick enough to have to miss school. I'm assuming this means that they are doing a decent job with hygiene there. We LOVE the place.
I planned on my son attending the Montessori Parents Coop when he turned 18 months since he was born because I strongly believe in the Montessori method and it is in our neighborhood. We did a visit when he was only 16 months old and I stayed in the basement area with my 5 year old while he stayed in the toddler area for a couple hours. He didn't cry at first at all, he went with the teacher right away and seemed to like her. He bit a student, which I am sad to report, he had learned from his previous placement and we were working on that behavior over summer vacation. My 5 year old was also supposed to visit the Kindergarten classroom and they cancelled that visit the same morning. A woman called me the next day to tell me that the teachers talked and that neither of my children could attend the Montessori Parents Coop because they did not fit into their school. They told me to call another person if I wanted to know why they did not fit into their school..I called and no one ever called me back.
This was our children's first year at MPCC and I am sad to report that they will not be attending next year. Although this school has a well planned and executed curriculum, it is extremely disorganized. I was really excited by the coop concept because I love to be involved; well, the school is only a coop in name. I have not felt any sense of transparency here. Beware of the inner circle of parents that seems to be running the school; they talk the talk regularly that they are helpful and inclusive when the reality is the complete opposite. I have been shocked by the number of absences the teachers have, as well. I am an educator too and have maybe missed a handful of days in my classroom in thirteen years. One teacher has missed several days so far this year and now is taking a leave of absence; there was no back-up plan in place for a substitute until a week later. The assistants were running the classroom in the teacher's absence, so I guess that is who we are paying. Another teacher was out for illness for a whole week. Wow! I am just really disappointed about this school. I researched relentlessly to place my children here and what I have seen is not what I was promised.
Outstanding education, extremely caring, nuturing teachers who take each child's progress and education to heart. Warm, safe environment in which each child progresses at her or his own pace. My children tell me, out of the blue, 'Mom, I love school!' The Montessori method is an integrated approach to learning, in which the many ways in which children learn are made part of the everyday curriculum. Parental involvement is crucial in this school, and that's what makes it such a terrific environment--everyone is committed to the children.
Absolutely the best school in Omaha. MPCC provides a loving nurturing environment in which children of all ages learn and grow. The school looks at the whole child and helps them along with the strong parent involvement, to grow and flourish. The teachers are outstanding.
Wonderful, caring and nuturing teachers. Very true to the Montessori philosophy with a high level of parent involvement required. Absolutely the best private school in the area for early education through 6th grade. A very good school if your emphasis is on learning and quality of education. Only downside: Not many extracurricular activites are available to the students.

Stop abusing children!
Speakers at a conference called an end to child abuse in homes and schools in the Arab world.
March 5, 2009 12:21 by Dana El Baltaji
Speakers at the last session of the Third Arab ISPCAN Regional Conference on Child Protection: Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect in the Arab Countries said schools should ban corporal punishment and teach child rights.
The final session was chaired by the conference coordinator, Dr. Maha Al Muneef, and was attended by over 1,500 delegates from across the Arab world.
Delegates said there was a need to teach children their rights to help them defend themselves against abuse and violence. The recommendations included the need to teach the principles of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child in classrooms.
It was also recommended that corporal punishment should not only be prohibited in classrooms, but also discouraged in homes and communities. "Adults should know the mental and physical agony of children who receive bodily punishment in the presence of others," said the final communiqué of the conference.
It was decided that a national strategy should be chalked out in all Arab countries to prevent violence against children. When drawing up such plans, the mental, social and health conditions of the children should be taken into account. "Such a strategy should incorporate the assistance of governmental and nongovernmental bodies for successful implementation of the programs," said the communiqué.
The conference pressed for a hotline for victims of child abuse. "The hotline should be available in Arabic in all Arab countries and it should be a round-the-clock service to enable affected children to report to the authorities any time of the day," it said.
Participants also recommended that disabled children should be given special care under the program. "Looking after their needs should be prioritized and they should be given the needed care to avoid falling into the wrong hands," the statement said.
It was also decided that research should be promoted to identify the patterns and practices of abuse against children.

Comments about 'Morality poll offers glimpse into American ideals'
- Oldest first

"Many people saw the world facing some serious problems come
"Most people evaluate their lives very stably from year to year."
These two statements taken together speak to an interesting part of the human psychology that has been stubbornly persistent since at least the invention of the written word (and I suspect much longer). People typically have always seemed to view themselves as generally happy but see doom and gloom for the not so distant future of mankind in general.

Only 1000 in the sample, it seems kind of small for an accurate conclusion on how Americans view morality/immorality. We are way too tolerant of deviant behavior nowadays.

Presuming a method is chosen to get a truly random sample, basic statistical math will show that a sample size of 1,000 will get you a margin of error within three percentage points. I'd call that reasonably accurate.
(Anyone who responds that the pollsters aren't getting a truly random sample, should realize they'll be expected to back up their claim if they desire credibility.)
As for your claim regarding deviant behavior... Perhaps I'm just tolerant of personal freedom, and not imposing my own morality on others. Including you.

Unfortunately the behavior of some individuals is becoming less and less deviant only because the behavior itself is becoming more and more acceptable. Also, as mornixuur so graciously pointed out, polling 1,000 people can actually be a statistically meaningful study.

The CNN survey results are interesting and not surprising but adding comments about Pres. Obama's effects on our moral values sounds like unrelated political propaganda of a T-party spokesman. I expect the DMN and all news media to keep political views and news separate and identified.

Morality depends upon society and sub-groups within society. The kind of morality that advances one group at the expense of others is not really indicative of society as a whole. The article seems to measure morality along an axis of lesser to greater morality, and that's not the way it is. You're talking apples and oranges here . . . and the whole produce section.

The wording of the questions.

@DRay & Blue AZ Cougar;
Why is it that when you hear the word "morality" you immediately focus on sex? Isn't cheating on taxes a moral issue? How about bombing wedding parties in Pakistan? How about causing traffic jams to get back at a rival? How about treating others unkindly? Aren't those moral issues to you? All you seem to see is "deviant behavior".
Personally, I see discrimination as a moral issue and bigotry as a "deviant behavior".

In comparing this poll to a 1987 Poll by CNN, using the same questions, Morals have changed a great deal in the last 25 years. Lower Morals mean that TV, Movies, and Published Magazines have had a huge affect on the standards of the People of this Nation. Sadly to say it will get even worse in the next 25 years.

Ask yourself the same question -- why is it that when you hear the word "morality" you immediately assume I'm talking about sex? I actually didn't say anything about that in my comment, and neither did DRay. Morality/immorality covers a wide spectrum of actions, as you so astutely pointed out. Methinks you jumped the gun a bit there...
But while we're on the topic, let's discuss it. Within that realm of "morality" is same-sex marriage. It's a completely valid thing to discuss. It may not be logical to you why people oppose same-sex marriage, but that doesn't mean we aren't entitled to our own opinions. I believe marriage is a sacred institution that was designed to be between a man and a woman. My rationale for that belief may not make sense in the court of public opinion or legal reasoning, but I believe it is based on something that our maker has designed so that all His children can come to earth and learn. I operate under the principle "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

@Ranch - You've highlighted a key issue; the fact that the meaning of the word "morality" has been lost or skewed in modern society. People today can't even distinguish moral choices from the other choices with which they're faced. In one study, college-age students were asked what "moral choices" they felt they were facing, and some responded "...whether or not [they] should buy a car."

If done correctly, 1000 people is plenty to gauge American attitudes with very little margin of error. This is the magic of Statistics.

Cheddar's Casual Café and Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers announced this week that they plan to open new restaurants in the Epps Bridge Centre.
Freddy's is scheduled to open Dec. 14 and Cheddar's in January.
The two restaurants are the latest to join the list of retail stores and dining establishments in the $76 million shopping center near Epps Bridge Road on the Oconee Connector.
Construction for both locations currently is underway.
Ralph Johnson and Nick Bourke stood in the corner plotting.
But Christy Terrell knew what they were up to all along.
"They think they've outsmarted us this year because they are standing behind us so we can't see them while the bidding is going on," she said.
The United Way of Northeast Georgia held its annual Holiday Market Tuesday night at Hotel Indigo's Rialto Room, and Johnson, Bourke and Terrell were all part of the live auction to bid on holiday trees and wreaths created by area residents.
Winners of the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia's 2014 Hunger Bowl were announced Tuesday along with the total number of pounds of food raised in November to help feed those in need this holiday season.
Food bank events manager Jennifer Wooten set a goal to raise 200,000 pounds of food this year, nearly 100,000 pounds more than the goal set for 2013.
"We met and exceeded our goal," Wooten said Tuesday. "We collected 205,992 pounds (of food and monetary donations)."
Despite the icy winds that whipped over him Friday afternoon, Brocton Funcke grinned as he stood in the parking lot of the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and poked at his smartphone.
The numbers he entered into his phone noted the monetary totals raised by groups within the Dean's Office of Family and Consumer Sciences at the University of Georgia as part of an inner office competition to see which group could raise the most money for the food bank's third annual Hunger Bowl competition.
When recognizing successful companies, the employees that make up the backbone of the company's success often are overlooked by the community.
To recognize and thank employees for their dedication, hard work and years of service, the Athens Tech Foundation presented its inaugural Outstanding Workforce Leadership Awards and Luncheon on Thursday at The Classic Center.
Plans for the Athens Resource Center for the Homeless will be spotlighted during its 11th annual Harvest for the Homeless fundraiser on Friday.
Known as ARCH, the center is composed of Athens Area Homeless Shelter, Advantage Behavioral Health Systems, AIDS Athens and Athens Nurses Clinic.
"Let us all pray in our prayers at night that we will be worthy of this creation that God has given us and that we'll be able to come to some understanding of love and fellowship with fellow nations throughout the world."

As "The Star-Spangled Banner" sounded from the school's choir, the students' guests — veterans from the various branches of the U.S. military — stood at attention and saluted the American flag.
The sound of compressed-air wrenches in the automotive service bay serenaded the grand opening of the Kauffman Tire chain's newest store Friday on Epps Bridge Parkway in Athens. Owner Mark Kauffman, members of the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce and Kauffman staff gathered for a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday to officially welcome the store to the Athens area. The Epps Bridge Parkway location is the first Kauffman Tire store to open in Athens.

Big Green Egg? Is it worth it?
Is it really as awesome as it gets hyped? I'm looking to upgrade from a standard cheap charcoal grill.
IMHO absolutely but that is for our use 52 weeks out of the year as a grill, awesome smoker and great pizza oven. Lots of prior posts discussing / debating this topic. We upgraded from a variety of grilles and metal smokers that in hindsight were a waste in comparison to the BGE
re: ThanksVille
I ask everyone in the colder climates : Do you leave your BGE outside year round, and has it cracked?
re: BiscuitBoy
I live in Maryland where we have pretty cold winters (especially this last one!) I leave it out year round and it hasn't cracked. I've had mine 15 years.
re: BiscuitBoy
My Egg is above the fog, below the snow. It occasionally freezes there, temps in the 20's, cold enough to freeze surface water and pipes. I haven't had problems, but I haven't tried to "fire it up" when it is 25 degrees outside.
I "hear you" about moving it, I thought about bringing it home, but since I sold the truck.. I doubt I would, the wheels on my stand have died, in a few years I don't think I could move it by myself unless I get new wheels or a new stand.
re: Alan408
Mine is in a table. I bought it used from a friend who built it for his first Egg. He needed to get rid of it because he and his wife ended up buying two or three more and he built an outdoor kitchen in his back yard.
We had two massive snow storms in 2010. I dug a path to my Egg so I could grill some chicken during the superbowl. It works fine in all weather.
I have had to replace some of the internal parts (firebox, grate, grid). Those were always free (from a local dealer) because of the warranty.
re: BiscuitBoy
There have been many many pictures of Eggs smoking while covered in snow posted on the Green Eggers forum over the years. They work great in the snow. I've yet to read of one that cracked just from normal use in cold weather or snow.
re: BiscuitBoy
Brought it up to over a 1000 degrees in 10 degree weather.....no issues. b
re: BiscuitBoy
Countless 800 - 1000 degree steak cooks in 10 - 20 degree weather, no problems.
Great insulating quality for long low slow smokes in the dead of winter.
I've read they are. There is a cheaper alternative made by Cranbrook I think. Check it out on Amazon.
There is a learning process. You must plan ahead. I enjoy using them, but I also enjoy propane and charcoal grills.
For me, the egg is best used for smoking and baking. They do retain heat for extended periods without large amounts of fuel.
God created the Big Green Egg; it was man who made the sauce. It was the devil who created franchise BBQ. Buy one.
re: Alan408
Alan, I think you and I are on the same page. I hate to harp on this, because I sound like a commercial, but I've been doing some really fine low 'n' slow BBQ at home on my 28 inch Weber kettle grill.
I use a device called the "Smokenator," a silly name for a very excellent tool which converts your Weber into a smoker. It's just a piece of high grade stainless steel bent and shaped to fit into the grill, with an integrated water pan and holes to add new fuel. Meathead Goldwyn praises it on AmazingRibs.com, and he only recommends stuff he uses and really likes.
I live in an apartment and only have so much room on the patio, so rather than getting a dedicated smoker, I can use the Weber for both grilling and Q'ing.
re: EarlyBird
I have used many "water smokers", they all perform. Spend $200 or $1,000, I don't think there is a food difference. The "cook" has more impact on the food than the cooker.
I had a great dual fuel water smoker branded Coleman. Either Brinkmann copied Coleman or the reverse. The Coleman metal was much thicker than the Brinkmann, and the Coleman costs ~3x vs the Brinkmann.
Initially, I couldn't cook steaks on the egg, I didn't know how to cook steaks at 800 degrees. I used to joke, I could turn iron into steel in the egg (takes a high temp to make steel) but I couldn't cook steaks. But, as long as I didn't make happy hour a priority, I learned to cook steaks.
re: Alan408
I agree that the cooker has far less to do with good food than the cook. Basically, whatever tool allows the cook to maintain the right temperatures, and the person has other aspects of technique down, he/she can cook good Q in anything.
re: biggreenmatt
My gasket failed years ago, I replaced it with what may contain abestos and is glued in place with a flour and water mixture.
A cabin visitor who worked construction gave a long strip of material, a tube similar to woven cloth, but he said it was heat resistant, later either he told me or someone else, it may contain abestos. Over cocktails, we decided to use flour paste as an adhesive vs something chemical out of a tube. Been a decade or two, still works.
I have several webers & several eggs. The Weber is a bargain for everything it can do but it is not a BGE. The Weber cannot sear at 700 or go unattended all night for 14 hours and stay locked on steady at 250 without adding any charcoal. I probably average cooking on it 3 nights a week year round. Just go read the posts on egghead.com to get a feel of the cult of ownership. '
However, any Ceramic cooker from a reputable company will do. Vision has not been around as long but the deals at costco are great and feedback in the forums indicate great customer support from the company as well as Costco's great customer support. Also the Acorn from chargriller is not ceramic but has agreat following & is much more reasonable than a ceramic cooker. Stay away from ceramic cookers from questionable manufacturers.
re: beteez
We did low and slow and on a Weber for years before we bought our Eggs. There really isn't a comparison. When we used to smoke our turkeys for Thanksgiving on the Weber we had to add coals numerous times. Food comes out moister on the Egg also ( we don't use a water pan either) and you do not get the temp fluctuations in windy and cold weather on the Egg like you do with metal cookers, they don't have the thermal mass.
re: rasputina
Isn't the Green Egg designed to provide heat immediately below the food, rather than as in a side-draft set up? And if so, isn't it more difficult to keep the temps low for smoking?
re: EarlyBird
The BGE people make a gizmo called a plate setter, for indirect heat
re: BiscuitBoy
You also use a pizza stone, a foil pan and rack or second grid for indirect cooking.
re: EarlyBird
Nope it's not hard at all. First off you have the thermal mass of the ceramic itself. Then you have a variety of ways, plate setter sold by BGE, refractory fire bricks, pizza stone ect to block direct flame. Temperature is controlled by the the air vents at the bottom and top.
re: rasputina
Cool. I know these are used a lot in BBQ competitions and just didn't know how they did it. Now I know!
Yes. If you like grilling, especially with charcoal, I highly recommend one. Its a great smoker, too. I live in Indiana and I have left it out for two years now, covered and uncovered and never had a problem. I have friends who have had theirs outside for many years.
re: rasputina
Crazy how you can fall in love with a big hunk of ceramic :-)
My wife about killed me when I showed up with it about 10 yrs ago when I was sent out to get a new pretty SS gas grill. Now if something was to get stolen, she would rather it be ME.
re: rasputina
IMHO, with a very easy learning curve and good ingredients, the BGE elevates back yard cooking up to or even above the level of a good steakhouse or specialty barbecue restaurant.

re: BiscuitBoy
The person actually donated two eggs one for me to keep and one to raffle off.. it one of the coolest things ever... I dont think it had much to do with my gender... I think it had more to do with their generousity
I scored a fantastic deal last year on a Pitts n Spits smoker. A damn big one. Vertical box, dual grills, etc. Fantastic machine, I can cook several briskets at a time if I want.
But I never do. We're a small family with a very small urban yard, and this thing sucks up space.
So I'm thinking about the BGE, and have just started to research.
Will it do ribs? How many racks? A full-sized brisket? Do I use chunks of wood? The Pitts/Spitts uses logs.
I have a gas grill for grilling- works fine for me,
What do you think?
re: Fake Name
I have had a LG BGE for 10 years. Love it. With a cheap wire rib rack I can easily do 2 racks of spare ribs. Pork shoulders & butts no problem. Same with a good size turkey. With a raised plate setter the space doubles.
For fuel I use exclusively lump charcoal (Royal Oak mostly). Sometimes I add a few big chunks of wood for flavor but usually just use straight lump which really lets the flavor of the meat come through.
Another great feature of the ceramic cookers is Year round smoking even in the dead of winter which is when most sheet metal smokers go into hibernation. They are also extremely fuel efficient & once the temp stabilizes its pretty much set it and forget it & there is no need to maintain a source of moisture.
Outstanding searing capabilities for steaks and such....1000 degrees very achievable.....then kill off the air, flames drop & finish oven style.
Heavy & expensive & not for everyone but the overwhelming majority of folks who own them love them.
re: Fake Name
Only 4 of us so I only smoke 2 racks at a time. I cut the full racks in half and they stand up perfectly in the rib rack. 2 of my cheap wire rib racks sitting next to each other would easily fit and keep 4 or 5 full racks of ribs standing on edge with no problem. Add a place setter and you could add even more.
I think my wire rib racks were about $6 or $7 at HomeDepot but they may not have them anymore. I know they are avail on the net. They can be bent for thicker beef ribs and also fit into the dishwasher.
Inverted "V" racks are much more expensive & good for roasts but a full rack of ribs standing on edge tend to flop over in them.
re: Fake Name
How much it will do depends on the size you get. yes you can use chunks of wood. We use lump charcoal and wood chunks, or split log pieces depending on what we have.
I wanted to get a BGE but didn't want to pay the price so I ordered this Kamado style grill that is well reviewed for $240.00.
This review is from "Meathead" Goldwyn of Amazing Ribs a popular barbecue site.
Target sold out of this grill @ the sale price but look for many sales on grills, smokers etc. because stores don't want to hold their inventory over the winter.
re: zackly
Well it's Kamado shape but I wouldn't call it kamado style, it's not even ceramic.
re: rasputina
but it works similarly according to many reviews
