San Francisco Bay Area making progress on bid to host Super Bowl L

Super Bowl zaniness is about to reach a fever pitch in New Orleans.
For those of you who can't be there and wish you were, take heart. The whole football circus may be coming to the Bay Area soon.
The region is in the running to host Super Bowl L, which will be held in 2016. The other city bidding to host that game is Miami.
Led by Daniel Lurie, the CEO of philanthropic firm Tipping Point, the Bay Area is prepping a bid to present to the NFL this coming May.
That bid will include such things as how many hotel rooms would be made available in San Francisco and surrounding cities during the Super Bowl. It would also reassure the NFL that local companies can come up with some $25 million to host the event.
Leading the charge to wrangle those dollars is Pat Gallagher, a former executive with the San Francisco Giants with deep ties in local business and sports circles.
A Super Bowl would be played in Santa Clara, of course. The Niners' new stadium is on schedule to be completed there by 2014.
The bid effort is "moving forward very swiftly," said Nate Ballard, a spokesman for the bid effort. The Super Bowl bid will be designed to be inclusive of many Bay Area communities, Ballard said. No single city, he said, will enjoy all the benefits of hosting the Super Bowl. "We will work on regional partnerships. We want it so that everybody wins."
Eric Young covers economic development, government, law and the business of sports for the San Francisco Business Times.

SCHUYLER COUNTY, N.Y. -- New York State recently adopted new energy codes, but going above and beyond those requirements could mean costs savings for towns and their residents.
Cornell Cooperative Extension brought representatives from the NYSERDA to Schuyler County to explain ways homeowners and municipalities can be more green. From increasing insulation, to using more energy-efficient lighting and building materials.
But there are always two sides to consider when implementing new regulations.
"Buildings would be more energy efficient, so lower energy costs. More comfortable homes. And some of the negatives might be that these more advanced codes may be more challenging for builders to build too," said NYSERDA Representative Phil Sapone.
The representatives were brought in as part of an exploratory process. There is no time table for Schuyler County or any of its municipalities to adopt the new code regulations.

I did a big fall wardrobe shop the other day and I'm glad I did. It is getting chilly here in Vancouver. I had a couple of light coats in my closet, but nothing suitable for November weather. I wanted a military style coat because you can easily dress them up and down. I was lucky enough to find this Bebe coat in a size Large at Winners. It was $129, a good price for a Jacket.

I'm new to this whole self-photography thing. It is quite awkward for me. I've spent plenty of time in front of cameras. I acted in commercials for many years. When I was doing that I had a team of professionals working to make me look my best. Now I just press the remote button and pray I get a decent shot. In some of the previous pictures on this site, I look so tired because I didn't bother to do my make-up. I've always worn very little make-up, which works for me in real life but it doesn't always translate on camera. Today, I made sure to apply a bit of foundation and under-eye concealer. I also put on some blush, eyeshadow and mascara. That is as crazy as I get these days.
Yawn! I want some colour on my face! That is part of the reason I signed up for 5 different Beauty Subscriptions. I want to expand my make-up horizons.
Did you get a new jacket this season? Have you tried a new cosmetic product? Tell me about it in the comments!

Let me tell you, Manitoba has had a beautiful summer so far. Many days in a row we've hit 30°C (which is about 85°F), the humidity hasn't been too bad, and since we re-finished our deck last month, we've spent many, many hours outside. Eating all of our meals out there, reading, and just […]

The number of filings related to suspicious activity for mortgage loan fraud fell year-over-year, while mortgage fraud related to foreclosure rescue scams spiked, according to a recent report from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
Last year, mortgage loan fraud (MLF) suspicious activity report (SAR) filings decreased to 69,277, down 25 percent from 92,561. However, the number of MLF SARs related to foreclosure rescue scams increased to 4,427, up 58 percent from 2,799 in 2011. In 2010, there were only 556 reports indicating some type of foreclosure rescue scam.
FinCEN explained the increase may be due to greater opportunities to target the distressed portion of the mortgage market, as well as greater attention to that type of fraud.
Overall, when observing suspicious mortgage fraud filings from 2001 to 2012, FinCEN found the bulk of filings referenced suspicious activity occurring in 2006 and 2007. For example, the number of filings for activity in 2006 and 2007 totaled around 137,000 each compared to around 9,500 for 2012.
"This is because most mortgage fraud SARs address fraud that occurred during loan origination, and 2006 and 2007 were the final years of the U.S. housing bubble and related loan origination," the report explained.
According to more recent data from the agency filed through March 31, 2013, just 13 percent of suspicious activity reports had to do with appraisals, 6 percent dealt with loan modifications, and 3 percent were foreclosure-related. Meanwhile, 87 percent of filers indicated the reported activity fell in the "other" category, which was generally described as fraud related to loan origination and borrower misrepresentations.
Per capita, California had the highest number of suspicious activity filings related to mortgage loan fraud. Nevada, Florida, Arizona, and Washington D.C. were also among the top five. Arizona jumped up to the fourth spot from seventh in 2011. Hawaii, which placed second in 2011, fell to No. 15 in 2012.

Let's have a dash through the shops and see what's happening....
Fat Quartershop has new Kaufman spot on dots, including metallic. Spot on dots are probably my favourite ever dots. Especially the pindot which I use a lot. This is one of the metallic ones - it makes me go all excited inside.
what about this one? Eeek!
Critter Patch by Penguin and Fish is out now too. It's an organic cloth, so ideal for babies and smalls.
Art Gallery's house collection Minimalista is at Pink Castle Fabrics now. I really like this collection - it's full of prints that are so useful stash builders and basics.
I need to stock up on low volume fabrics for a new quilt, Brenda has a great solids bundle that ticks all the boxes
and this low volume prints bundle too
Whilst I'm on the hunt for low volume, Sew Fresh fabrics have this bundle of greys. Love it.
New in stock are these great scrap bundles. Around 2 yards of fabric for $10
love this bundle so much....
and this bundle of summer '13 kona colours is a must have
don't miss out on the great deals in the sale section too
I love a bias stripe - they are perfect for bindings. The new scrumptious stripes from Bonnie and Camille are so good.
Simply Sweet Fabric has them in stock now.
and aqua
Stocking up on colour basics is always a good idea. Sew me a song have some really good bundles to help you with this.
So that's it for today. Have a great weekend and I'll be back tomorrow with the UK round up.

Love the retro graphics and concept, but would have liked it more if you got that old guy narrator voice-over. Still impressive overall.
Thanks, that was the whole idea, the Old Fashioned educational films.
I thought Glados was a better choice for a voice over though.

This was short but sweet, much like the cake that never was... but perhaps too short. I know you addressed it, saying "too" bad, but maybe merge the next two shorts together. Just throwing that out there... it's good though, and I shall recommend it to the Portal collection as soon as it's through.

Everything in this condo is first class. We are a family of frequent world travelers. Also we are residents in 3 different countries. Maui has been our favorite vacation spot. Now we have found the most desirable condo for our family to meet. The unit is fully stocked with everything our family of 8 needed. The decor shines with the decorator good taste. All the rooms are equipped for comfort. I especially appreciate the private elevator in the unit. The views from the unit is gorgeous, the location is superb, and the pools are much nicer than that at the Grand Wailea as we do not like the crowds there. The manager Chad is always available to help, that is a bonus to make us feel that we are not without assistance if required. Sat, I can see why you are the proud owner of this unit. Great job. I am so glad we were able to rent this for our family reunion this year. Thank you. We shall return, soon I hope.

This property is exactly as described inside. Great views of the ocean, which is across the street on the other side of two major resorts. The home is decorated very nicely and had lots of room for having only three bedrooms. The pool is a decent size and was a bit of a walk from the condo. This unit was very high up and therefore had superior views. The trade off was the walk to the pool and an even further walk to the beach. The parking was superior with a full one car garage plus a parking carport for the other vehicle. This particular unit charges extra for Chad Newman. Not exactly sure who he is or what he does but we never met him, we only spoke on the phone once or twice. He seemed very nice on the phone, but very busy. Not quite sure why we pay extra for him. The best part of the whole unit was the sliding walls. Awesome! Nicely stocked with beach chairs and towels. Kitchen had plenty of utensils and cooking supplies. It was hard to sit 8 at one table to eat. The unit was nice and suited our needs for our Hawaii family vacation.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

Our family of 7 (5 kids 7-20) had a wonderful vacation. We stayed here for a week and then spent a few nights at the Grand Wailea so that the kids could use the pools there. While they did enjoy their time in the pools, the accommodations at 23-1 were superior in every way. Beautifully furnished, spacious, top-of-the-line EVERYTHING! The open living (with the glass doors tucked away) made for wonderful mornings on the Lanai. Best of all...NO BUGS!! Sunsets to die for. The pool at Ho'olei is much smaller than the hotel, but much more relaxing and peaceful. Would definitely recommend and would love to return some day :)) Many thanks to Sat, Chad and Gail for making this family vacation spectacular!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.

My family (three couples and two toddlers) absolutely loved this unit. The views were incredible, the unit is nicely decorated and clean - no pictures could actually do it justice. The booking process was very easy with Sat, and Chad was a great host. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Maui, and would stay in this unit again in a heartbeat.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, families with young children, age 55+.

Wailea is our families preferred side of the island. Hibiscus 23-1 is by far our favorite stay and we have had many visits to the island. This unit provides every comfort of home with the most spectacular views. Without fail our family of 8, 6 adults and twin toddlers gathered to BBQ and watch the sunset each evening. During the day our avid golfers took the 5 minute drive to the Wailea courses, our runners headed to the many options for runs, our swimmers to the pool and beaches. We rarely used the car but for those that had not had prior trips to Maui the cars were needed to explore the West side of the island. This spacious unit afforded all the privacy needed and spacious kitchen and living areas never feel cramped! We have several amateur chefs all worked happily together in the beautiful kitchen. Sat makes the registration and payment process easy. Chad is a kind, efficient and knowledgable hostess. The unassuming Monkey Pod restaurant was a highlight not to be missed, Lappert's ice cream on July 4th was a BIG HIT with the entire family. The beach equipment provided by the unit was more than adequate, Beach Towels, Back Pack Beach Chairs, Sand Toys in perfect condition. Dont forget to stop at Costco on the way in we had mouth watering baby back ribs and filet mignon for the beef lovers and the unti comes with a rotisserie on the BBQ which gave us succlent rosemary roasted whole chicken. Fish Taco Trucks abound in the area. There are all the restauants and shops one could want. We had the luck to find a 70% off sale at the St John shop in the Wailea Shops. The life memories made in this unit are truly priceless! Thanks Chad and Sat.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+.

We had 6 family members staying at the condo for a week. Our adult children were amazed at how beautiful the condo was even tho they had all seen the video. We spent every evening on the lanai - watching the sunset, barbecuing, reading, and talking. It was perfect! We would all go for runs or walks every day on the path along the ocean which was 5 minutes away, and we also loved the private pool. As others have said, Sat and Chad were very easy to communicate with - available to answer any questions we had and helpful if we needed information. We had lots of room, both for sleeping and storage, and everyone had plenty of privacy. We enjoyed the WIFI for music. The kitchen is equipped with all the appliances you might need, plenty of plates, glasses, large refrigerator, great information on how to work the equipment, where to take the trash, etc. We couldn't have been happier and will definitely stay there again when we return to Maui.Recommended for: Girls getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, families with young children, pet owners, age 55+.

Our family of 7 spent a week in this beautiful condo with a view of the ocean. The retracting sliding glass glass doors allowed the ocean breeze to cool the condo. The kitchen was well equipped, the decor amazing, comfortable beds, beautiful lanai complete with a bbq. The pool was perfect for young children with a sandy beach and for adults too with a waterfall. Great location across the street from the Grand Wailea and beach path. Chad, the manager, was very helpful and responsive as was the owner.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+.

Ladies' Man Gets the Vote? Vogue Declares Early Victor
Ladies' Man Gets the Vote? Vogue Declares Early Victor
by CitizenSugar 39
Looks like the Obama-Biden ticket is starting to close in on the coveted fashionista vote. Vogue took a chance in its November issue, which will hit newsstands over the next week, by titling a feature story "All the Vice President's Women." Cute! Let's hope it's not wildly prophetic, because the profile is really about one woman — Jill Biden, the would-be vice president's wife. Second Lady?
A representative for Vogue spoke to the Huffington Post and said of the cover line, "Win or lose, we thought it was a clever cover line that would serve to get people's attention." I've written entire posts to fit headlines I've come up with, so I understand the urge, but putting it in print and on the cover seems a lot like buying a dress one size too small.
Is it just me, or is there a lot of Obama-presumptiveness around lately? To see what I mean, read more.
On last week's Political Gabfest, Slate's David Plotz went on a whole riff about when the Obama administration is sworn in, before he caught his slip. Are people going to have a lot of knocking on wood to do not to jinx their hopes (maybe Vogue has a big wood pile . . . ?) or are the numbers pointing in a way that makes printing an early result like this prudent?
Did I hear anyone say "Dewey Defeats Truman"?

Charming, gorgeous, and extremely talented, Giada De Laurentiis is the star of Food Network's Everyday Italian. She has also been seen in the network's All-Star Thanksgiving special with Emeril Lagasse, Rachael Ray, and others; cohosting (with Mario Batali) the Italian Christmas special and a cross-country series; and starring in her own special from Italy.
The reason for all the excitement? Beyond Giada's camera presence, it's her food; quick, simple, and bursting with the ripe, rich flavors that reflect the best of Italian home cooking. Giada is a Cordon Bleu-trained chef who's worked in some of L.A.'s finest restaurants, but she's also not afraid to use shortcuts and the occasional packaged ingredient. She makes it all look easy because it is, with such features as seven ways to transform red sauce, five variations on cutlets, four great uses for prosciutto, and more than 100 other dishes for speedy but special dinners. Filled with gorgeous photographs, this is the debut cookbook from a major new star.

very good recipes - definitely will try some
Like her books
Everyday Italian is a wonderful book. Its the old world meeting the new world. Well written and very enjoyable.
Her recipes are always a hit with our family. Love her show too.
Hi, We really enjoy Giada show, Everday Italian on the cooking channel. We love the book. Thank you.
easy to follow recipes for everyday.
I love the recipes and Giada, but would love to see pictures of ALL the dishes.
I was really disappointed. Guess I was hoping for more pasta or entre recipes.
Havent tried anything yet but recipes look very good. It was a gift for my daughter and she was happy to get it!
Was a little disappointed with the book as it contained more pics of Giada than recipes. I really like Giada's segments on Food Network but expected more recipes. I will keep the book but will inquire more next time of the reviews before buying. I. Brewer Hesperia, CA
great book!!
My husband and I tried this cookbook from the library and used it to make dinner for three weeks. Everything we made was delicious (although we left out a lot of the oil she recommends!) and we decieded to buy a copy not just for ourselves but for Holiday presents as well. Giada's marinara sauce is our new favorite!
I am very pleased with the books I ordered lately. I am equally pleased with the attention I received from you. Thank you
From the basics to the more involved recipes Everyday Italian features it all, but in an easy to follow way. I am looking forward to attempting each recipes from the first page to the last !
The only thing I'd like to see changed about Giada's cookbooks is the absence of pictures for every entree. If I go to the FoodNetwork website for Giada's recepies, I can get a picture to go along with each recipe I print and this does probe to be helpful.
This is a very easy to use book. I have about 15 recipes that I regularly use. They are all very simply written and the techniques are easy to follow. We especially love the Panzanella Salad and the pasta sauces. The Cornmeal Cake is great too. I use this cookbook more than any other in my collection!
This book is great. The recipes are simple and delicious.
Wonderful real recipies and visuals, just like a visit with Giada...you can almost taste the samples. Yum!!!
So far I have found this cookbook to be an encouraing and inviting cookbook to use. I feel as though I too can make these recipes. I really like how Giada keeps it simple and how she gives you ideas on what to keep in your pantry for every day use. The book is colorful; it reminds me of words she would use like crisp, fresh, simple and delicious. I can't wait to dive in!

In the first three games of the season, the Hun School football team has done a lot of good things.
The Raiders have displayed an ability to move the ball on the ground and in the air. In the trenches, they have been physical and hard-nosed.
But a failure to take care of the ball has left the Raiders without a win to show for their good work. The latest case in point came last Saturday when Hun made four turnovers in falling 30-14 at Germantown Academy (Pa.).
"That seems to be a recurring theme," said Hun head coach John Law in reflecting on his team's sloppiness with the ball.
"We have cleaned up a lot of things but the last thing that we have to take care of is the turnovers. What is frustrating for us is that these kids can play."
As a result, Law and his coaches are going to harp on playing error-free football.
"We need to be mentally complete; we need to play a complete game," said Law.
"We play a schedule that is good and that is what we want. We are going to do some drills this week focusing on ball security."
Hun is getting some very good play at running back from junior Christopher Sharp, who had a big game in a losing cause last Saturday, gaining 182 yards on 19 carries, including a 75-yard touchdown jaunt.
"That is what has got us excited; we have some young kids handling the ball who are really talented," said Law.
"It was a breakout game for Christopher. He is a special kid, he is learning how to read holes and trust the holes and when to break it out. He is a rising star."
Senior linebacker/running back Colton Jay Jumper has emerged as a star for the Raiders in his first year with the program.
"Jumper is a leader for us on defense, we'll go as he goes," asserted Law of the Lookout Mountain, Tenn. native. "He has a nose for the ball. He hadn't run the ball at his other school. We have him doing lead blocking and running the ball in short yardage situations.
Another leader for Hun has been senior receiver/defensive back Cam Dudeck. "I think Cam Dudeck is making catches and is helping us on defense," said Law of Dudeck, who made six receptions for 49 yards last Saturday.
"I am really happy with him. He has been so consistent and I hope that rubs off on some of the other players."
As Hun prepares to play at the Blair Academy on October 12 in its Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) opener, Law knows that his team has to play more consistently to knock off the Buccaneers.
"It is always a big one for us," said Law. "It will be an old-fashioned slugfest. They know us and we know them. It is a heavyweight fight with the last one standing as the winner and hopefully that will be us. The kids are ready to go, we have some talented kids. We are not surviving the mistakes right now. A win would give them great momentum."

The "victim" mentality at work again.
While I feel for them, they should have done their homework.
They should have taken the RESPONSIBILITY of hiring/finding someone that could give them information about this.

Description: Dancemaker is a film that tells the tale of this extraordinary, peculiarly American company. Cutting from stage to backstage, the film looks at the rise of Taylor from solitary child to star dancer to master choreographer. It is filled with both historic and contemporary footage of Taylor's remarkable creations and the wonderful dancers who have performed them. Interviews with current and past members of the company give the audience glimpses of the pain, joy, obsession and love that motivate the artists. The film travels with Taylor and Company from the rehearsal studio to an embassy-sponsored tour of India through a strike-threatened Broadway season. And finally, it gets to the core of Taylor's talent, as he wrestles with the making of a new dance that is the centerpiece of his company's season and of the film.

Ontario jails holding more inmates than designed for
Nearly half of Ontario's jails are overcrowded. Cells meant for two people at times hold three or more amid court delays.
? | Comments |
Nearly half of Ontario's jails are overcrowded, hitting a six-year high that sees cells meant for two people at times hold three or more as the province struggles with a rising tide of inmates who have yet to have their day in court.
Statistics by the Ministry of Community Safety and Corrections reveal that, on an average day last year, 14 of the province's 29 jails held more prisoners than they were designed for.
The jump in overcrowding comes as no surprise to a former inmate, Shawn, who was recently released from the Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre in London, Ont., after 18 months in pretrial custody.
He said overcrowding forced him to flop down on a narrow stretch of floor between two occupied beds in a cramped cell, seven by two metres. Lying on a thin, worn mattress he had to rest his head next to the shared toilet.
"If you're sleeping people, step on you. Then if they're urinating they splash on you," said Shawn, 35, who has been in the London jail more than a dozen times and gave only his first name for fear of retribution.
Shawn said cramming three inmates into a space meant for two makes it easy for minor disputes between cellmates to escalate into violence.
"If there's only two of you, then one guy can go to the door and cool down. When you've got three, there's nowhere to go," said Shawn, who is in the early stages of a lawsuit against the province over his treatment in jail.
Last year the province-wide capacity rate hit 98.5 per cent, matching a peak set in 2008/09 and coming in slightly above the average rate in the next four years, earlier figures obtained through freedom of information show.
The London jail was at 105 per cent capacity and has had more inmates than beds in five of the past six years.
The overcrowding high comes as the province's correctional system is going through a rare transition. There's the closing of several jails, including ones in Toronto and Sarnia, and the construction of a major correctional complex in southwestern Ontario as well as a 1,650-bed "superjail" in Toronto's west end.
The new jails will result in an additional 280 beds in what is currently a 9,020-bed system that last year housed an average 8,806 people each day.
The province says most of those inmates were held on remand: awaiting a bail hearing or trial. It's a cohort which has surged to nearly two-thirds of the provincial penal population today from one-third back in 1996.
Though the number of total annual inmate admissions has dropped by more than 10,000 in the past three years, so too has the number of beds, of which there were nearly 500 more back in 2010.
The province expects its daily prisoner count to jump by more than 1,500 inmates within two years as a result of tougher crime laws passed by the Harper government, said Craig MacBride, spokesman for Corrections Minister Madeleine Meilleur.
But MacBride said that, for now, jails are well equipped to handle bursts in their inmate count.
"The ministry has policies and procedures in place at each correctional facility to manage overcrowding/capacity issues" and also takes steps to ensure beds are freed up when needed, MacBride said in an email.
James Stribopoulos, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School, said the remand rise likely stems from the heightened complexity and lengthier duration of the disclosure process, in which prosecutors hand over case information to defence lawyers.
"Hence, the remand population has grown substantially," he said.
Advocacy groups and the union representing jail guards have blamed chronic overcrowding and understaffing for the rise in violence, while some judges have cited overpopulation in Ontario's jails as a reason to shorten sentences.
Several usual suspects pop up on the latest list of overflowing jails.
The notorious 504-bed Toronto Don Jail was the busiest in the province at 117-per-cent capacity — or nearly five inmates for every four beds — narrowly beating the Niagara Detention Centre. The Windsor Jail rounded out the top three at 111-per-cent capacity.
The Toronto and Windsor jails have been overcrowded for all of the last six years, while the Niagara jail was over capacity for the last five, statistics show.
And at the 382-bed maximum-security jail in London, there were on average 45 more inmates each day last year than free beds, leaving many with hastily arranged accommodations.
"Due to capacity issues the facility had three inmates to each cell and one cell with five inmates," states an internal ministry briefing note on a visit to the jail last October by the local Tory member of the provincial parliament.
"As well, some intermittent inmates were housed in admitting and discharge (area)," the document states. It lists several violent incidents in the days around the visit.
Lawyer Kevin Egan, who is representing Shawn and more than 100 current and former London jail inmates in suits against the province, says that in some cases, five inmates have to share a cell with only one bunk bed.
The overcrowding is "really inviting violence," he said.
Shawn said the London jail was so packed he was forced not only to sleep on the cell floor but eat on it too.
He said splitting the space with two inmates made him nearly lose control and attack a cellmate. "With two other people something's got to give."
"Jail's supposed to be punishment but we're still human," Shawn said.

Fireplaces—cozy but costly
by: Mike Jennings
"Lousy" technology can suck heat out of a home
The home fireplace helped our ancestors make it through brutal winters. And for most of us, a crackling fire on a hearth still holds allure, especially around the holidays.
But it's a lousy technology. It may remove more heat from a house than it produces.
A typical open, vertical-back fireplace is at best 10 percent efficient in converting wood to energy and delivering it to a room. The usual placement, on an external wall, makes matters worse, since fireplace masonry conducts heat outdoors.
A fire needs oxygen to keep going, so most of the warm air it produces gets sucked back into the fireplace and up the chimney. The resulting airflow pulls cold outside air into the house.
Typical net result: firelight dancing in the eyes of rosy-cheeked children and a higher heating bill.
Dampers and doors can reduce heat loss
You can reduce heat loss just by tending to a basic chimney mechanism, the damper.
Mounted in a cast-iron frame, the damper regulates air going up the chimney. Check the damper annually to make sure it fits snugly. Keep it closed when there's no fire burning.
If you rarely use your fireplace, you can seal the flue with an inflatable stopper. Alternatively, you can stuff a rubber seat or a pillow into a plastic bag and shove that into the flue. In either case, leave an attachment—such as a red ribbon—hanging down into the fireplace to remind you the flue-stopper is there.
To cut down on the loss of heated air, you can install a vent that supplies the fireplace with air from outside the house. Glass doors and fireplace covers also reduce heat loss. Covers are cheaper, but you can only use them when there's no fire.
Good doors should have a rigid frame and a seal that fits snugly against the fireplace rim. Closing the doors during a burn reduces radiant heat reaching the room, but it also cuts the amount of warm air whooshing up the chimney.
Inserts are efficient, but be wary of unvented models
Among all the means of improving fireplace efficiency, inserts make the biggest difference.
Inserts may burn wood, pellets, or natural gas. Some models have catalytic converters that boost combustion efficiency. Some have fans to blow air around the unit and out into the room. The most efficient, safest inserts have double walls with space between them where heated air circulates, plus a connection with the flue to ensure smoke dispersal.
Gas-burning fireplace inserts have grown in popularity, but beware of unvented models. They deplete room oxygen, and may produce carbon monoxide and excessive water vapor. A vented gas-fired insert with a sealed combustion unit is safer.

Thank you Democratic Commissioner Melvin Burgress on behalf of the children of Memphis, the children of Shelby County and your Party... we appreciate your vote today!
Thanks also to Commissioner Ritz for understanding fiscal and political realities relative to the principle of proportionality as highlighted by the application of the U.S. Constitution's 14th amendment on this school funding issue.
You know if this doesn't pass, then it will be 12 months before it can appear on the ballot again. Which will cause an even greater shortfall of funds.
Mayor Luttrell only asked for six months so the USD could finish the budget to see if the 1/2 was all that was needed. (I may be off on my facts, and I apologize). As usual, the SCC couldn't listen to that reason. How dare a Donkey back an Elephant.
Oh, and now I discover that you see this as a Democrat v Republican battle. In other words, Republicans don't care about the education of the children of Shelby County as a whole (without a division between the city and county children as you used)? I guess identifying the SC8 as donkeys is appropriate.
That's all right, you'll get the schools you want. Now just let me have mine.
