There's nothing left of the iconic Puget Sound ferry Kalakala (kuh-LAHK'-uh-luh) except the pieces they saved for souvenirs.

Demolition was completed last week at a dry dock in Tacoma, Washington.

Rhine Demolition says some pieces already have been claimed.

The News Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/1zPurKQ ) the rounded pilot house, windows and rudder are going to buyers who want to preserve a bit of Washington's maritime history. Some smaller souvenirs might go on sale to the public.

The sleek, silver ferry was the postcard symbol of Seattle in the days before the Space Needle.

After the 276-foot vessel was used as a fish processor in Alaska it was returned to Puget Sound. But plans to restore it never came up with enough money.

DURHAM, N.C. -

Demolition began Monday on the Finch-Yeager Building at Wallace Wade Stadium as construction continued on the $100 million renovation project.

Construction crews began ripping down the building, which had served as the press box for Duke University football games and housed the offices of Duke Sports Medicine. It is expected to be rebuilt over a roughly 18-month period to include luxury suites and club seating.

As part of Wallace Wade's facelift, the track will be removed, the playing field will be lowered and the stands will be extended closer to the field. The open end of the stadium's horseshoe will also be bowled in to bring capacity to just under 44,000.

The project broke ground in November 2014 after Duke's 41-21 win at home over Wake Forest. The university said construction is expected to be completed by the start of the 2016 football season.

Mike Cragg, the university's deputy athletic director, explained the improvements to Wallace Wade are the start of a larger revamp of the school's athletics facilities.

"It's part of a visionary strategic plan for whole athletics department, including basketball, football and Olympic sports," Cragg said. "The upgrade of the football stadium is right at the front of it. We're really excited."

Planned improvements at Cameron Indoor Stadium over the next couple of years include a new lobby, renovated locker rooms and facilities for players and coaches, plus a plaza to connect it with the football stadium and the Yoh Center, which houses the football offices.

Buzzards Bay, MA (PRWEB) February 10, 2015

Tamarack Technologies CEO Tom Colasanto today announced the introduction of the new Cape Backdraft Damper, a versatile product that can be used throughout the house to passively regulate airflow. When inserted into a dryer's exhaust hose, the Cape Backdraft Damper keeps lint and other flammable materials from blowing back into the dryer's heater from the outside vent thus minimizing the potential of a fire.

Damages from fires of this type are "staggering" according to Colasanto. During a recent four-year period, dryers accounted for one in every 22 home fires. In 2010 alone there were 16,800 dryer-related fires resulting in injury or death and $236 million in direct property damage.

There are a number of recurring causes of dryer fires: Failure to clean lint from ducts; bends or kinks in flexible duct hoses trapping lint and other flammable materials; and backdrafts that blow lint and flammables back into the dryer.

"Dryer fires are a real danger but they seem to fly under the radar of homeowner awareness," Colasanto said.

"Because dryer use generally increases in the winter, this subject is both timely and important -- even critical -- to many homeowners," he added.

"This is a very good time for homeowners to consider not just our Cape Backdraft Damper but other products that can work to minimize dryer fire hazards. The good news is there are a number of products available to homeowners that are effective, inexpensive and easy to install. They complement our Cape Backdraft Damper and when used together create a much safer environment," Colasanto said.

Nothing cures a lint build-up problem better than regular cleaning, but its not usually top-of-mind with most homeowners. Fortunately, theres LintAlert from In-O-Vate (http://www.inovate.com), a product that continually monitors dryer exhaust performance. It warns when lint build-up is wasting energy and sounds an alarm when blockage becomes dangerous.

As mentioned, backdrafts into the ventilation pipe and proper exhaust out from the dryer are easily handled by the Cape Backdraft Damper from Tamarack Technologies (http://www.tamtech.com). This innovative product features a specially formulated fabric sleeve within an outer metal jacket allowing maximum airflow in the desired direction and closing with minimal pressure in the opposite direction, stopping cold air from entering the home. Due to the damper's unique design and materials, backdrafts can't push lint back into the dryer.

Bends or kinks in the dryers duct hose restrict the flow of air from the dryer to its exhaust pipe often trapping lint in the twisted hose. To keep a dryer and its connecting duct hose tight to the wall while maintaining its shape and integrity a simple in-wall unit called Dryerbox (http://www.dryerbox.com) does the job.
