There is enough evidence pointing out the truth about food waste in Australia. Almost each state Government has carried out studies with the same conclusion: we waste lots of food. As a result, we throw not only food but also money.
When it comes to the topic of food wastage in Australia and all over the world, the statistics shock people. It is a subject that makes people passionate and upset. For some people, it is the fact that we waste lots of money that upsets them. Others it’s about the point that food is a really valuable resource all over the world. Yet most people take it for granted.
But for our company, it is the combination of the two scenarios. We don’t like the fact that people waste food. We see it as a high sense of ignorance of the fact that we are so lucky to have food on our plates three times a day. Also, we know how much food wastage costs our economy. Now, let’s sober up a bit and dig deep into the facts.
Statistics on food wastage in Australia
The statistics about the wastage of food in Australia changes each year. However, the points we will discuss here – on the same subject – remains unchanged.
Just spare some time to go through the stats and have a clear understanding. Then apply them to your household because you might save money and decrease food wastage.
The average food wastage in Australia
• Each household in Australia wastes food worth $1,036 each year
• Roughly $8 billion dollars for the entire country
• Exactly 4 tonnes of food wastage in Australia
• 500 kg for each household
This translates to 20 percent of the entire food each household purchases. In simple terms, the figure means that for every 5 bags of groceries we buy, we throw one. This is exactly what happens in Australia. Why do we waste food that much? Is it that we don’t need it?
Some of the top reasons why we waste food are because:
• We buy more than we need
• We have no idea of the portions we need to cook: hence we end up cooking in large quantities
• We have no idea of how to preserve food
• We have no clue how to make use of leftovers
What type of food do we waste in Australia?
• Leftovers (27%)
• Fresh produce (33%)
• Takeaway food (7%)
• Frozen food items (9%)
• Drinks (9%)
• Packed products (15%)
As the figures state, we waste a lot of fresh produce simply because we don’t spare time to plan the amount of food we cook. Also, it is because we fail to plan for the exact stuff we want to buy. We also cook food without knowing the quantity of cooked food already in the fridge. Perhaps, you are asking; who is responsible for food wastage?
People who waste food are:
Young people (around 18-24 years) are the ones that buy food in large quantities and eventually end up not using it. They don’t like cooking, instead, they opt to buy.
Another group that wastes food is households with annual incomes of $100K. Statistics show that as households increase their earnings, the less they care about the waste and cost of food.
Also, families with small kids waste food in Australia. This is because parents hardly have strict schedules and their time management is poor. With all these food wastage, who removes it?
This all comes down to…

When you scan an object with a 3D scanner, you obtain a cloud of dots representing the object’s surface rather than a model ready to be printed. Based on the machine and the print software used, it may be necessary to import this result into modeling software to convert it into a group of polygons. This could be long and tedious work, depending on the complexity of the object. Furthermore, only the outside surface of objects can be scanned.
Some last-generation equipment, however, allow printing these dot clouds after minimal file processing.

The decision Thursday came after DeSoto County Chancery Judge Mitchell Lundy Jr. ruled in 2013 that the Mississippi Constitution and state law prevented him from granting a divorce to Lauren Czekala-Chatham and Dana Ann Melancon because the state didn't recognize same-sex marriage.
Czekala-Chatham appealed, and it was initially opposed by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, a Democrat. However, Hood asked the court to allow the divorce after the June 26 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court.
On Friday, same-sex couples will be in federal court seeking to overturn Mississippi's last-in-the-nation ban on adoption by gay couples.
In the Mississippi court's divorce ruling, five of nine justices said in a two-page order that because Hood had reversed his position, "we find no contested issues remain" and sent the case back to DeSoto County for further action.
Justices Leslie King and James Kitchens agreed with the outcome, but dissented, calling for the court to issue a full opinion. King and Kitchens called for Mississippi to overturn its ban on same-sex marriage and grant the divorce in February.
Czekala-Chatham and Melancon were married in San Francisco in 2008 and bought a house in Mississippi before separating in 2010. Czekala-Chatham said she hopes to soon be divorced from her wife, who now lives in Arkansas.

The new age comes to change the old,
Long awaited dream of insanity.
Old scripts are back to life,
Here lies the seal of truth...
Like a silver tear
In the morning wing,
In the mist of time
Triumph of our weakness grows,
False prophets turned to reality,
Possessed by rising sign above,
They do inspire me sense of doom.
Now candle burns at both ends,

An enormous statue of Harambe appeared in front of Wall Street’s famous Charging Bull statue on Monday.
The seven-foot-tall bronze monument commemorating the deceased gorilla — who was shot dead by Cincinnati Zoo workers on May 28, 2016, after a three-year-old child fell into his exhibit — was reportedly erected by a social media company.

The giant gorilla was placed in Bowling Green Park, directly across from the famous Charging Bull statue, which was surrounded by 10,000 bananas (that will later be donated to local food banks and community fridges) to make a point about wealth disparity.
The organizers, founders of Sapien.Network, an in-development social networking platform “dedicated to putting the needs and welfare of human beings first” said they put up the display to show that Wall Street has become “bananas” — wholly out of touch with the needs of everyday people.
“It’s not about rejecting capitalism or the current system. It’s about revolving them into the current future and letting them empower more groups of people,” Sapien.Network co-founder Robert Giometti told NBC. “That’s the whole point of this story.”

“Harambe is a representation of something that lets us look at more than just ourselves. What are we aspiring to as people?” he continued. “It’s about connecting. A simple gesture of giving a banana builds community. As a society, we need to come together. We can’t keep fighting to come together.”
Since his controversial death, Harambe has become a cultural icon in the United States. Earlier this year, a photo of the primate was placed on auction as a non-fungible token (NFT).
The photo was snapped by Harambe’s official photographer, Jeff McCurry, who took thousands of pictures of Harambe.
“I considered Harambe a true friend,” McCurry said. “My many hours spent with him were always special and intimate. While I will never stop taking photos as long as I live, I know I’ll never find a better subject that means as much to me as Harambe.”
After Harambe’s unfortunate demise in 2016, Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson was among the many public figures who paid homage: “I’m sure it was a difficult decision for everyone involved. I mean, why did they have to kill the gorilla? But then, really, who’s to say?”
Over the tumult of the past several months, it has become easy for Americans to become disillusioned with our political leaders. But the statue is a welcome reminder that our true leader — Harambe — will never be forgotten.

Have you heard about the Newark airport? It's like the Newark of airports! That's the kind of joke that the optimistic and inspiring mayor of the city, Cory Booker would like to see fade away. Once a thriving community, Newark has become a symbol of crime, drugs, and everything people once feared about the “inner city”. To see the real life struggle to turn that around is harrowing, uplifting, heartbreaking, and intense.
The documentary series Brick City is definitely going to be touted as a real life version of The Wire and the similarities seem intentional on the part of the makers (including producer? Forest Whtiacker). Each segment begins with a quote from one of the main characters and every aspect of the city is explored – from politics, schools, families, and police.
While it may seem too close a structure to the popular fictional series, I think it was wise for the filmmakers to structure this in a familiar way. Looking at the real life darkness and struggle of such a torn apart area is not always easy and any way the film makers can get our attention is fine with me.

South Korea unveiled its sixth 1,800-ton-class attack submarine Thursday aimed at boosting its underwater warfare capabilities against North Korea, Yonhap News Agency reported.
The Navy plans to commission the submarine in November 2016, it said.
"It is the first submarine bearing a woman's name in our history," the Navy said in a statement. "We've christened it Yu Gwan-sun, to honor her sacrifice and to promote public security awareness, marking the 70th anniversary of independence from Japan's colonial rule and the establishment of the Navy."
According to the Navy, the ship is armed with indigenous ship-to-ship cruise missiles named Haeseong, or Sea Star, and torpedoes and mines for anti-vessel and anti-submarine operations.
The cruise missiles with a maximum range of 1,500 kilometers are capable of carrying out precision strikes against enemies' key facilities.
The sub's maximum underwater speed is 20 knots, which enables it to travel between South Korea and Hawaii without refueling.
The diesel-powered submarine will be operated by Air Independent Propulsion, which bolsters the vessel's submerged endurance and allows the crew to carry out underwater missions for up to two weeks without access to atmospheric oxygen.
Currently, the Navy operates nine 1,200-ton submarines and four 1,800-ton subs, while planning to build five more 1,800-ton submarines by 2019. In addition, it plans to deploy nine 3,000-ton submarines capable of launching ballistic missiles, starting in 2020.
North Korea has a significant superiority in the number of submarines, as is believed to have some 70 vessels, including about 20 1,800-ton Romeo-class submarines. The communist country is also believed to be building a new submarine capable of firing missiles, according to South Korean and US intelligence.
The launching ceremony for the 214-class submarine, manufactured by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering took place in the southern coastal city of Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province, according to the Navy.

The 2023 Kia Sorento will represent the third production year of the current generation, so we are pretty sure there are no significant changes to come. Simply, the last years redesign has brought a lot of improvements in every aspect of the vehicle. Furthermore, the 2022 model has brought hybrid powertrains to the table, two of them. That’s why we are pretty sure that the best we could see for the next year are minor updates, such as new color options and a few more standard features.
All in all, you may count on a relatively compact three-row SUV, which has a lot of good things to offer. Besides the nice cabin, it also offers a broad range of powertrain options, including two hybrids. Furthermore, the ride quality is good, while fuel economy is another reason to consider this SUV. On the other hand, keep in mind that the third row is tighter compared to rivals, while the cargo area isn’t much more impressive either.
As there are no significant changes to come, we believe that the 2023 Kia Sorento won’t arrive before the last quarter of 2022.
2023 Kia Sorento Design
Design-wise, the 2023 Kia Sorento definitely won’t change. It will represent the third production year of the generation, which is still early for styling updates and similar changes. So, we are about to see the same styling, which stands out with sharp headlights and generally aggressive front end. The rest of the cabin looks quite conventional for a crossover of these proportions.
We don’t expect to see bigger mechanical changes either. The next year’s model will carry on with a familiar layout, including the same suspension setup. The Sorento is easy to drive, while the suspension is halfway between comfort and sporty ride. Such a balanced setup makes it a good choice for a wide range of drivers.
From the inside, this SUV looks way more expensive than it actually is. The 2023 Kia Sorento interior will continue in the same way, of course, with super-nice materials and great build quality. The dashboard looks sharp and elegant, while things like a digital instrument cluster and large infotainment screen make it look even more impressive.
The driving position is good, as well as the visibility. Also, the front seats are massive and supportive, while the second row offers plenty of space as well. On the other hand, the third row isn’t that generous with space and feels more appropriate for kids than for adults.
Behind the third row of seats, you may count on about 12.6 cubic feet, which isn’t particularly impressive. However, the cargo area is quite expansive. Once you fold down the third row, you get 45 cubic feet of cargo room. Fold down the second row and you get a total cargo volume of 75.5 cubes.
Of course, there is always a chance to see a couple of novelties in this aspect but we are pretty sure that most of the things are about to remain the same as in the current model. For reference, the current model comes standard with goodies like an 8-inch touch screen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo, HD Radio, and six USB ports.
Among the options, you can find a lot of great upgrades. There are 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touch screen, satellite radio, navigation, voice recognition, additional second-row USB ports, a rear-seat entertainment system, wireless device charging, a 12-speaker Bose premium stereo, proximity keyless entry, push-button start, remote start, dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and many more.
2023 Kia Sorento Engines
The current model already offers a broad range of powertrain options, so there is no reason for us to believe in novelties in this aspect. Instead, the offer will remain the same and start with a 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine, which puts out around 190 horsepower.
While the base engines seem okay for daily commuting, the optional 2.5-liter turbo-four is definitely a much better choice. This one puts out 90 horses more and offers way better driving dynamics. Also, this one comes in pair with a dual-clutch transmission, while the base engine comes with a classic 8-speed automatic.
When it comes to hybrid options, you may count on the same hybrid powertrains as in the new Santa Fe. The offer starts with a classic setup, which combines a 1.6-liter turbo-four engine with an electric motor, for a total output of 227 horsepower. A plug-in hybrid version comes with the same engine but a more powerful electric motor, so the total output goes up to 265 horsepower. Also, you may count on 33 miles of the all-electric range in this case.
2023 Kia Sorento Release Date and Price
We expect that the 2023 Kia Sorento release date will be scheduled for the last quarter of 2022. When it comes to the price, base versions should cost around 31.000 dollars.

“Counterfeit airbags are a serious threat to Honda owners and the driving public," said Steve Osborne, assistant vice president for American Honda Brand Protection. "It’s hard to tell if a deployed airbag, and related components, have been replaced with Honda Genuine parts, or something else. We want people to be aware of the issues and ask the right questions about their cars’ repair.”

Alliant Energy shows progress in 2017 Corporate Sustainability Report
MADISON - Alliant Energy showed its progress toward a sustainable future by reducing carbon emissions 34 percent since 2005 and increasing its investments in renewable energy. The company also cut fossil fuel generation water withdrawals by over 25 percent since 2005 with plans targeting a reduction of 75 percent by 2030.
Alliant Energy issued its 2017 Corporate Sustainability Report detailing the achieved results as it balances its energy portfolio to include even more clean energy resources and highlighting its collaborative stewardship efforts with customers, communities and employees.
The report is available at alliantenergy.com/sustainability. Balancing economic, social and environmental factors remains an integral part of the company’s operations and strategic plan.
“Sustainability means doing the right thing with an eye toward the long run,” said Alliant Energy’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Patricia Kampling. “So our sustainability strategy looks into the future, promoting responsible company growth through the economic, social and environmental decisions we make today.”
The company is transforming its generation profile to meet future customer needs in a sustainable way. Between 2005 and 2018, Alliant Energy will have permanently retired nearly 1,000 megawatts of coal-fired generation, and the company is planning to add over 1,000 megawatts of new, low-cost wind capacity by 2020.
Cleaner natural gas facilities are also being brought into Alliant Energy’s resource mix. Wind works hand-in-hand with natural gas facilities, which can adjust up and down quickly to provide reliable power as the wind increases or decreases.
In 2016, renewable energy made up 15 percent of Alliant Energy’s rated electric capacity. By 2024, that is expected to nearly double as the company pursues new investments in wind and other renewable generation.

Whether or not players choose to point their EyeToy at their faces or houseplants or something more inappropriate remains to be seen.
Two modes are available for offline play: quick game and career mode. Choosing quick game lets you pick between Texas Hold'em, Super Hold'em, Shanghai, Billabong, and Tahoe poker. In career mode as well as during online play, only Texas Hold'em is playable. Advancing through career mode's various tiers earns points to unlock special shirts, pants, sunglasses and more for your avatar, which you choose to apply to one of the five male and five female avatars. The game starts out placing easy AI around the six person tables, and as you progress will randomly drop in more challenging AI opponents. While we saw the game running, we didn't have much of a chance to actually test out how the AI behaved, so we'll have to bring you details on that later.
Offline play can be sped up between hands with the press of a button, meaning you don't have to sit there waiting for all the computer opponents to think about and make their turn. From what we saw, the graphics looked pretty slick for a PSN game, with AI opponents even reacting slightly to events on the table. Three different camera views can be switched between, depending on how close up you like to view the action.
Of course the game's main appeal would be online, where up to six players can battle it out. Expect online leader boards to keep tabs on hands won, played, flops seen, and a slew of other extraneous numbers. Should you want to yell or congratulate anyone you're playing against and don't have a USB camera with which to give a visual representation of your emotional state, you can always use a USB headset or USB keyboard to publicize your mind's contents and, if you're good, mess up your opponents' thinking.


Statistical classification of atmospheric regimes
Meteorologists have spent decades attempting to predict the weather over extended periods of time. Complex models of up to several million variables can only produce reliable predictions of up to four days. By representing the atmosphere in a multi-dimensional 'phase space', we hope to find preferred areas of this space where the weather will persist. Using a simple simulation model we applied 9 clustering methods, some of which are new, to the simulated data. These methods represent 3 different levels of interactions between the user and the method. While developing new cluster methods, we also developed an outlier method which is shown to be better than 16 current multivariate outlier methods, based on a real dataset. The results of the simulation studies indicate that the more interaction between the user and the method, the better the outcome. Next we adapted the usual Ward's, and Caussinus and Ruiz's clustering methods to take time into consideration. This created 6 new time constraint clustering methods which we applied to simulated data from a new time dependent simulated model. Consistent patterns were found and the results also indicate that if we apply the usual Ward's clustering method on suspected time dependent data then we would achieve the best outcome only 35% of the time, at most. Finally we looked at ways of sieving transient observations from cluster groups and highlighting significant transitions by applying several techniques to a meteorological dataset.


Jet Crossings: Flying Hybrid Machines Over Rose Bay Seaplane Airport (1938)
November 25 to November 27, 2022
SAHANZ conference proceedings are subject by copyright protections. Please read the Disclaimer and Copyright Notice.
The invention of flying boats in the early twentieth century prompted architects and urbanists to adapt to a new hybrid transport technology. Flying boats’ ability to take off and land on the water made the water an endless runway with airport terminals positioned on coastlines. The miracle of flying boats and, more broadly, aeroplanes in the air struck a chord in the popular imagination of ordinary tourists, avant-garde architects and urban designers. The Art Deco style expressed their excitement for the new modern transport technology, with smooth, streamlined aesthetics based on the curved, aerodynamic surface of aeroplane bodies. Design professionals internalised aerial themes when shaping places where the sea meets the sky.
Taking full advantage of aircraft technology with the ability to take off from the water, Qantas built Australia’s first international airport and maintenance facilities at Rose Bay in 1938 for easy access to the waters of Sydney Harbour. To serve further increases in the popularity of international air travel, a second international airport was proposed for the waters at Newport in Sydney’s Pittwater. The airport buildings at Rose Bay and Newport are examples of airport architecture at a local level, their stories providing tangible and material insights into the broader history of Australian aviation heritage. This paper’s archaeology of Rose Bay’s and Newport’s terminal buildings as obsolescent objects will uncover glimpses into how architects networked innovative transport technologies into the modern cities of the past.

Man threatens neighbour in frivolous triple-0 calls
A Coast man who threatened his neighbour during a series of “frivolous and fictitious” calls to triple-0 begged a magistrate not to send him to jail.
David John Hurren pleaded guilty in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Friday to the improper use of an emergency call service and one count of threatening violence by words or conduct.
Prosecutor Nichale Bool said the calls occurred after police went to Hurren’s Burnside home on Sunday night where he was reported to be playing loud music and swearing into a microphone.
Ms Bool said the 52-year-old was intoxicated and was yelling at neighbours across the road about comments he said were made about him being a paedophile.
“He was demanding police go to speak to the neighbour across the road,” Ms Bool said.
She said Hurren told police that if they did not, he would go over and sort it out.
Ms Bool said Hurren made eight phone calls to triple-0 after police left.
“There were threats made during these phone calls, he was advised numerous times to stop using the lines to make such phone calls and it wasn’t an inappropriate measure,” she said.
“He stated on one of the calls, ‘and sort this f----- out across the road’ or he would take the law into his own hands.
“He kept demanding using offensive language.”
Given Hurren’s criminal history of violence she suggested a short suspended sentence as an appropriate punishment.
“Resources and triple-0 calls are obviously precious and the line should be reserved for more impending threats,” she said.
“He was obviously informed of this eight times and didn’t abide by these warnings.”
The court heard Hurren’s threats occurred between November 16 and 19 after his neighbour declined an invitation to have a drink with him.
The neighbour told police Hurren called him a c--- and carried on at his front door.
Duty lawyer Michael Robinson said Hurren was prescribed a number of medications which were washed down with copious amounts of alcohol.
“My client is an alcoholic and has a daily drinking habit, he drinks VB and a lot of it,” he said.
“He has expressed his desire to me that he is determine to give up alcohol.”
Mr Robinson said the father of two had no recollection of the offences and suggested a suspended sentence and a recognisance release order.
Hurren apologised numerous times during his plea and begged not to go to jail.
“I just want to go see my kids I’m not going to drink anymore,” he cried.
“Please don’t send me to jail I will do parole or anything.”
Magistrate Leanne Scoines said Hurren’s behaviour and vulgar language while “grossly intoxicated” was unacceptable.
“You’ve called triple-0 some eight times and what’s more your conduct during those calls has been less than impressive and you’ve made threats against the bloke across the road that obviously didn’t want to socialise with you,” she said.
“You cannot mess around with those triple-0 services they are an essential life blood of the community; people need to access them.
“The last thing those people need is to deal with people calling, calling and calling making frivolous and fictitious complaints.”
Hurren was sentenced to one month in prison and placed on a recognisance release order of $350 for his calls to triple-0.
He was also sentenced to another one month sentence which was suspended for three months.

…Advised ASUU to obey FG, register in IPPIS to fight corruption
…Just as new splinter group of Lecturers, CONUA, also holding meeting simultaneously
Angry students and members of the Students Union Government, SUG, of the University of Port Harcourt, UNIPORT today, Wednesday, disrupted an emergency meeting of Association Academic Staff Union, ASUU, in the Secretariat at the Delta Campus.
Dr Austen Sado who is the UNIPORT branch Chairman had called the meeting to deliberate on issue concerning the breakaway Congress of Nigeria University Academics, CONUA from ASUU by some group of lecturers.
Sado was giving his introductory speech when students who had arrived the venue with placards of various inscriptions like: “ASUU no more strikes” “Obey the FG enroll in IPPIS if nothing to hide” “We support FG for transparency” “CONUA mean well for students” etc, burst into songs drowning Dr. Sado’s speech.
The ASUU members had to disperse from the venue and relocated to a hotel in continuation of the meeting.
The peacefully protesting students stayed behind to ensure that ASUU members leave the venue.
The agenda of the meeting was not made known to Journalists. But it was not unconnected to the split in the body and the enrollment in the IPPIS.
As at about 10 am, 55 Lecturers had signed the attendance register for the meeting at the entrance of the ASUU Secretariat before the disruption.
It would be recalled that yesterday, a splinter group of ASUU in UNIPORT known as the Congress of University Academics CONUA, had directed its members to begin the enrolment for the Integrated Payment and Personnel Information System, IPPIS.
CONUA, the UNIPORT gave this directive on Tuesday in a communique signed by the Coordinator, Dr. Ovunda Ihunwo, and the Secretary, Dr. O .F. Mbalisi.
In the communiqué read to journalists in Port Harcourt, Ihunwo described as irritating the frequency with which some ASUU leaders at both the national level and branches across the country incited their members to embark on strike actions as a means of resolving industrial disputes.
He said ASUU leaders’ action was a show of ineptitude and lack of patriotism.
He said, “We call on our members to enroll for the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System IPPIS because the higher education system in Nigeria is on the verge of a dangerous precipice and there is an urgent need for all the stakeholders; the government, the general public and employees of tertiary institutions, especially academics, to adopt deliberate measures towards salvaging the system.”
Ihunwo alleged that much of the crises that had rocked UNIPORT in the past three years were orchestrated by the current Chairman of ASUU, Dr Austen Sado, accusing him of destabilising the smooth running of the institution.
But Sado has denied the allegations pointing that he was being accused because he had continued to stand for justice.
Sado said, “The allegations against me are the product of the figment of the imaginations of those who concocted them and nothing like that.”
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the new splinter group was simultaneously holding its meeting somewhere on campus at the time of filing this report.
The details of the meeting were not made known to our Correspondent at the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, it was found out that the enrollment into the IPPIS was going on at the Ebitimi Banigo hall and it is being coordinated by officials from the office the Accountant General of the Federation.

Federal Government had warned that any lecturer who refuses to register would not receive his or her December 2019 salaries.

Project: Sentry HQ
Architects: Studio Blitz
Scope: Architecture, Interior Design, Furniture Planning + Selection,
Location: San Francisco, California
Size: 37,000 SF
Photo Credits: Emily Hagopian
Blitz partnered with Sentry to create a space for their team of creators, problem-solvers, troubleshooters, and puzzle-piece-joiners. Spanning the 7th and 8th floors in a downtown San Francisco high rise, the Sentry HQ incorporates the diverse urban textures that surround its vibrant, quirky palette.
This rich landscape unfolds to accommodate a large all-hands space/dining area, two pantries, boardroom, reception, meeting, and phone rooms, informal working areas, and open office within a varied network. The resulting spectrum of space offers varying degrees of privacy, allowing for a harmonious combination of heads-down work, design, and outreach areas.
Within, Sentry employees can be found bouncing from meeting to meeting, congregating around a central island in the all-hands space, and playing board games; creating the camaraderie that is integral to Sentry’s culture. A series of flexible spaces that allow these functions are carefully placed within varied neighborhoods, while definition is created through monumental architectural elements, anchoring groups within the larger space and offering defined private collaboration areas for individual departments. The resulting office is defined by an aesthetic and programmatic diversity that reflects the unique composition of the Sentry team.
The Fabric Between
The negative space between objects forms a unique, functional fabric that evolves as it is experienced. This continuous fabric unites a diverse, varied workplace, maintaining strong connection while allowing for flexilbity over time. Boundaries are blurred as spaces, fixtures and finishes overlap. Sometimes contrasting and other times merging together.

Dunkirk. It is tremendous. Couldn’t look away for even a sliver of a moment. Out of all of Christopher Nolan movies I’ve seen, I’d rank this at the top. One thing that did him a favor is that the dialogue is so minimal. A trim, direct story so he can focus on the construction. I love the layered stories – the boat scenes being my favorites – that are racing to meet at the end, which we know with hindsight is only a beginning.
I haven’t updated my Christopher Nolan power rankings in a while, so…
- The Prestige
- The Dark Knight
- The Dark Knight Rises
- Batman Begins
That feels right for now.
Interstellar. As much as I whine about Christopher Nolan films, he’s got some gifts. My experience the second time around was almost the reverse of my first viewing: I was feeling the family story, and the epic space adventure had me twiddling my thumbs. I need an alternate cut of this movie that removes the “let’s explain the science” interludes. Just gimme the melodrama. The heightened emo stuff just wrecked me.
The Dark Knight. Re-watched to re-evaluate. Individual performances are great but as a whole it’s just… ¯(ツ)/¯
Interstellar. First time I’d seen anything on IMAX. Lives up to the format. It’s one of the best Nolan films since The Dark Knight, probably. But it’s very Nolan: he can direct the crap out of some spectacular action/space sequences, but it rarely moves me. (The truck/rocket scene above in the above screencap is a glorious exception). And it could use some trimming. I have to give him credit for directing original material though, and working with smart ideas. No one is doing crazy stuff at that level like he is. Maybe my second favorite after Memento? I need to re-visit The Dark Knight and The Prestige to see where it fits in.
In the Cut, Part I: Shots in the Dark (Knight). I really, really liked this dissection, by Jim Emerson, of a chase scene in The Dark Knight. I think the scene still communicates on a sequence-of-events level – chase goes underground, trucks smashes car, weapons are fired, Batmobile rams a dump truck – but there are definitely ways the editing makes it less spatially coherent or viscerally “real”. You can set aside whether that makes the scene good or bad, or whether it undermines or supports whatever Nolan’s intentions were. It’s still a nice primer and breakdown of how they communicate narrative through the frame, and how ignoring or adhering to visual conventions affects how you understand what you see.
The Prestige. Themes: obsession, sacrifice, craft, identity, showmanship, revenge, deceit, science as magic, etc. It’s a little mechanical and maybe overstuffed, but always interesting. Hugh Jackman is excellent. I expect viewers would either love or hate the ending, in which the inevitable is delayed while the story is re-told and all is explained. I kinda hate that, but I should have expected as much. I guess that’s Nolan’s own prestige moment? I get really annoyed when you watch a movie and then, near the end, the movie tells you about the story that happened that you didn’t know about. (Yeah, I know I complained about this recently.) Good twists are fine, but they always make me wonder how you could tell the same story in an engaging way while sharing more details with the audience up front. Isn’t it also fun when we know something the other characters don’t?
I’ve now seen all of Christopher Nolan’s feature-length movies. Here’s how they stack up for me right now:
Insomnia. Starts well, but I’d tighten it up a bit. I’d rank this is my 4th favorite Christopher Nolan movie. We need more old, aching heroes. I love seeing old man Pacino tired and cranky, running around trying to not to screw up even more. Kind of like a Harrison Ford hero. My biggest struggle with the movie? Hilary Swank has too much natural toughness and smarts for the role here. I don’t buy her as the aww-shucks/awestruck/wet-behind-the-ears type. Apparently this is a remake of a 1997 Norwegian film.
Following. Christopher Nolan’s first feature film set the trend for his later puzzle-piece, time-shifted narratives. Solid, modern noir. I like seeing early work like this without fancy production, pristine private sets, celebrity talent. My rankings of Nolan movies I’ve seen:
Yeah, after his last two I mostly lost interest in Nolan’s work. This one was good enough to get me curious about Insomnia and The Prestige, though. I’ve also done rankings for Hitchcock, Eastwood, Malick, Wes Anderson, and David Fincher, etc.
Memento. Third viewing, but hadn’t seen it in 7-8 years. This one holds up pretty well. Funnier than I remembered.
Inception. This is a good movie. Worth seeing? Sure. Superlative? No. Interesting ideas and there’s enough ambiguity to puzzle over ‘til the End of Days. Five Ways of Looking at Inception is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
The trouble was that I didn’t care much. My first reaction was “Inception: all muscle and nerves, no heart. Interesting but probably at least 48 minutes too long.” It kinda reminded me of the situation where a writer has an awesome essay and then later writes a book on the same topic. This movie was a book where an essay (i.e. short film) might have been a tighter, more engaging experience.
Other assorted observations:
- I think the dark, corporate angle is legit. The idea of executive-level extraction-resistance training is a nice scifi hypothetical.
- I liked the idea of different levels of dreams operating at different time-speeds. Pretty cool.
- Lots of explanatory dialogue…
- Mediocre score.
- I’d like to see more movies where not everyone is wealthy and skilled.
- I’d like to see action movies with fewer hordes of incompetent gunmen.
- Ski chase. Dead wife reappearing. Zero-gravity fights. Old man dying in a minimalist room. I don’t think this is a bad thing, btw.

Chocolate Labrador Retriever, 5 yrs
This bright lab has the sweetest personality - just like milk chocolate.
This was Bailey's first time (ever) being boarded while her parents went on vacation at the Grand Canyon. She's very well-known on her street and loves meeting everyone and their pups. In a way, it was a break for her too.
During her stay, the whole Pooch Patrol pack kept her very busy and happy. Every day, she had a blast chasing balls and catching her favorite frisbee. We also went on a four mile hike.
I took her on long one-hour walks and we explored four different parts of our neighborhood. The first night, she quickly learned all of my walking commands and "touch" with her nose. To keep her mind stimulated, we also had her seek treats around the resort.
We'll be seeing her again in May and we'll be ready for this super smart lab's face licks and snuggles.

9 Easy Ways to Cut About 100 Calories From Your Day
Do it without feeling deprived or skimping on flavor.
5. Downsize Your Two-Egg Omelet
A jumbo egg contains 90 calories, while smaller pullet eggs—from young chickens, aka "pullets"—contain roughly half the calories, says Delbridge. Some people say pullet eggs are more flavorful than their oversized counterparts, so you'll need less cheese to doctor them up too. If you can't find them near you (farmers' markets are your best bet), use small eggs (54 calories each) instead.

New park opens at Ontario Place
A new park has opened at Ontario Place, five years after the former theme park on Toronto's waterfront was closed to the public.
The new Trillium Park is connected to the city by the William G. Davis recreational trail, named after Ontario's premier in 1971, the year when Ontario Place first opened.
The Ontario government closed the theme park in 2012 due to dwindling admissions.
The new park is part of a revitalization plan for the area and was built on a former parking lot on the eastern edge of the Ontario Place site. It now has almost 1,200 trees.
Premier Kathleen Wynne cut a ribbon Monday morning to officially open the new park and trail, about two years behind schedule.
Her government had initially planned to open the park in time for the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.
First star Oliver Castleman scored a goal and added three assists as the IceDogs topped the Mississauga Steelheads 6-3 at the Meridian Centre. On a night of firsts, Philip Tomasino scored his first in the OHL and Elijah Roberts netted his first in a Niagara uniform.
IceDogs first year forward Philip Tomasino has been selected to represent Canada at the World Under 17 Challenge in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John B.C. A total of 66 CHL players will be divided into three teams wearing Canada's colours from November 5-11.
Trailing 4-1 after one, the IceDogs scored three unanswered in the second then held off a furious Erie attack in the third before falling 5-4 in overtime. The Dogs picked up a possible 7 of 8 points, completing a string of four consecutive road games.

Purpose: Male breast carcinoma (MBC) is treated similarly to female breast carcinoma (FBC), and similar survival rates for both have been assumed. We analyzed prognostic and clinicopathologic features of MBC to determine whether MBC subtypes differ from FBC subtypes. Methods: We reviewed data for 172,847 FBC and 1,442 MBC patients from 2010 to 2012 from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database. Carcinomas were subtyped by hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) status as HR+/HER2–, HR+/HER2+, HR–/ HER2+, and HR–/HER2–. Results: The overall incidence of MBC in all breast carcinoma cases was 0.8%. MBC was more frequently HR+/HER2– than FBC was (78.3% vs. 67.4%) and less frequently HR–/HER2– (2.1% vs 10.9%). More MBC was staged as III or IV (24.9% vs. 17.2%). MBC had significantly worse overall survival (OS) than FBC (P<0.0001). After adjustment for age, ethnicity, and tumor grade, stage I and II MBC had significantly worse OS time than stage-matched FBC had (P=0.0011 for stage I, P=0.0229 for stage II). When stage- and subtype-matched patients were compared, MBC had significantly worse OS than FBC for stage I overall, for sub-stages IA and IIB HR+/HER2– carcinoma, and for stage III HR+/HER2+ carcinoma. Furthermore, MBC patients with HR+/HER2– T1aN0 carcinomas had worse OS than FBC patients had. Conclusions: Patients with MBC have worse survival than patients with FBC, especially for early-stage HR+ breast cancers. More studies are needed to optimize treatment for MBC.

In the world of Missoni
, patterns and colors make a bold statement on every article of clothing, but the selections of ombré in bright and vivid hues make it more than a little difficult to accessorize. Their new Autumn/Winter 13-14 collection of handbags is making that task a little easier. Released earlier this month, the new collection is available both online and in stores, and is surprisingly simple. In opposition to most of their signature pieces the collection possesses “distinctive features with the unmistakably natural, free, and informal idea of Missoni elegance.” The handbags are largely bare of bright hues and patterns: leather, shape and details are what give the bags their character.

Wedding Dress For The Bengali Brides And Grooms
Marriage is a special occasion in every country. India is not an exception to this. The country is famous for its varied wedding rituals, customs, wedding celebrations and wedding attires. Every community has its own way of celebrating the joyous occasion of marriage by wearing fascinating wedding dress and the Bengali people also join hand with them. Both the bride and the groom look their very best on the day of marriage by wearing brilliant wedding outfits.
Bengali Bridal Dress
Bengali women look charming when bedecked in the beautiful attire of a bride. They look just like a princess on the wedding day. In fact the bride is the focus of attraction always. Her relatives make every effort to make her look marvelous.
The exclusive way of draping the saris bestows a traditional look to them. With the shimmering Benarsi Saree and lovely gold jewelry, the Bengali bride wins the heart of all. Since marriage is the most auspicious and treasured event of a girl’s life, her family members spend a lot on her wedding dress and ornaments. The bride wears Shakha-paula, which is a pair of red and white bangles along with gold bangles, heavy gold necklaces, chains and gold rings with the design of peacock, butterflies, etc on the day of her marriage. Decorating the feet with Alta is also a must for every Bengali bride.
Most Bengali families prefer Red Benarsi Sari as it complements the auspicious wedding ceremony. However many women also opt for maroon, pink, magenta and various other colors for their wedding day.

Three months ago, Ninfa Lazo González managed to convince a distraught and pregnant young woman not to take her own life.
It was about 3 a.m., and González was a few miles from her Princeton home, in her pajamas, having driven to the young woman upon receiving a desperate phone call.
González, a social worker and Hispanic ministry coordinator in her parish, St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, Trenton, relied on her professional expertise and her faith-filled ministry experience to convince the young woman not to take her own life, or the one of her unborn child.
“It is important that we have ministry leaders who are well-prepared, so that they can help the young people, so that they can help married couples,” González said. “When we have strong families, we have strong children.”
González shared her story during the Diocesan Encuentro held Sept. 30 in the Holy Trinity Church gymnasium of Christ the King Parish, Long Branch. The daylong event, conducted in Spanish and sponsored by the diocesan Office of Pastoral Life and Mission and Hispanic Ministry Initiatives, drew more than 150 parish-level Hispanic ministry leaders, including many Encuentro delegates.
The gathering was an opportunity for delegates from parishes, apostolic groups and Catholic organizations to share – with the invited ministry leaders – their experiences of reflection, discernment, consultation and evangelization that were part of their parish community’s participation in the V Encuentro process.
A goal of the working retreat was to brainstorm, identify and discuss best ministerial practices. The V Encuentro – the fifth national “encounter” of Hispanic/Latino ministry since the first one in 1972 – is a four-year process of ecclesial reflection and action inviting all Catholics in the United States to intense missionary activity, consultation, leadership and development. It has been proposed as a priority activity of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Strategic plan for 2017 to 2020.
Gifts and Obstacles
Jorge Montana, a Hispanic Ministry coordinator in St. Joseph Parish, Toms River, said it was important to strengthen ministries in order to better evangelize. “We need to first know and strengthen ourselves and our homes spiritually, and we need to first know and strengthen our faith before we can evangelize the community.”
Among the main retreat activities: identifying best practices, or “gifts,” already in place and making sure they continue to be implemented and improved upon. Also identified and discussed were challenges, or “obstacles,” that should be addressed in parish communities and their peripheries – the sooner, the better. The retreat featured small group discussions followed by group representatives sharing with all in attendance the groups’ assessments and conclusions.
“This is all about celebrating and sharing the Word – Jesus is with us,” said Matthew Greeley, associate director for the diocesan Office of Communications and coordinator for Spanish-language communications, as the groups went to work. Greeley and Sandra López, diocesan coordinator of Hispanic Ministry Initiatives, co-facilitated the event.
“We are all here to work as a family,” López added.
Best practices included: times when ministry leaders and volunteers make a difference in someone’s personal life, such as González’s story; healthy and ongoing communication in some parishes, especially between ministry leaders and priests; sacramental preparations, especially when youngsters are getting ready for their First Holy Communion, and the spiritual guidance available to help improve marriages and family life.
The identified obstacles included: the need for improved and more frequent communication in some parishes between ministry leaders and clergy; more unity and camaraderie among all Latinos and less division based on national identity; the need to improve ways to attract more teens and young adults to ministry programs in order to prevent serious troubles such as drug abuse, and increasing awareness about what ministries offer, such as Bible study and prayer meetings.
The morning of dialogue concluded with lunch and continued fellowship. Even the lunch preparation was an experience of Encuentro, with people from different parishes contributing to the various elements.
Joy in the Journey
Following the meal, all were invited to Mass, which was celebrated by the parish pastor, Father Javier Diaz. The Readings were specifically chosen for the Encuentro participants, and Father Diaz honed in on the message that all are called to be people of faith.
“It is an honor for me to be with you, to recognize that you are answering the Lord’s call,” he said.
At the conclusion of Mass, the diocesan Encuentro delegates walked the Cross of the Encuentro for Region 3 – which is composed of the archdioceses and dioceses of Pennsylvania and New Jersey – to the altar for a blessing and sending forth. The congregation then processed out of the church back to the gymnasium while singing the hymn, “Alma Misionera” (Missionary Soul).
Earlier that day, the Chavez-Ruano family of St. Joseph Parish, Trenton, made the journey into Pennsylvania toward the Diocese of Scranton to meet representatives from its diocesan Encuentro to pick up the wooden cross. The family arrived with the cross, which is being shared around Region 3, right before the end of Mass.
“I am so grateful to God and to the Chavez-Ruano family for how the timing worked out,” López reflected on the day as a whole. Fighting back tears, she said, “God is so good.”
Lifted in Spirit from Mass, the diocesan Encuentro continued into the afternoon with two presentations.
Father Miguel Valle, parochial vicar in St. Paul Parish, Princeton, articulated how important joy is for the missionary disciple. Father Valle had the crowd reflecting on singer Celia Cruz’s “La Vida Es un Carnaval” (Life Is a Carnival) while they danced and laughed, adding personal objects to a pile in the front of the gym in an effort to show how the missionary disciple needs to move out of their comfort zones, and imagining being in the scene of the Road to Emmaus.
Walter Quiñones, diocesan Encuentro team member and parishioner of St. Joseph Parish, Trenton, then used original music and stories as he gave witness to the power of engaging in personal encounters with others as disciples of Christ. He challenged the delegates to deepen their faith experiences.
“We celebrate when a baby begins to try to speak. We wouldn’t celebrate an adult who was capable but never learned to communicate better than that. We need to grow as people of faith,” he emphasized. “We need to keep growing in our faith so we can act like adults in the faith.”
The voices of the parish communities at the Diocesan Encuentro will be documented, consolidated and sent onward to the Regional Encuentro committee. The parishes needs and possible responses will make their way to the national committee, from which the U.S. Catholic Church will receive direction as it moves forward to better recognize and walk with the Hispanic Catholic community.
Matthew Greeley, associate director for the diocesan Office of Communications and coordinator for Spanish-language communications, contributed to this report.


Online Gambling in Some European CountriesOnline Gambling in Some European Countries
The European Commission has been trying to form a common online gambling area across the continent, there are countries which are choosing their own directions.
Thus, Denmark was the latest country which bowed down to the pressure the European Commission exerted to it in order to open the online gambling market. But, Denmark wants to protect and promote the state gambling monopoly in the regulated gambling market as France and Finland do. In the country gambling is managed via Danske Spil, the state owned company.
As of July 1, 2010, private online casino operators can go into the online gambling market and make it more competitive. But they must have a license to offer gambling services. The Danish government has stated that private foreign operators can get these licenses only after the beginning of 2011. Thus, Danske Spil gets 6 months of exclusive and untrammeled access to customers. During this time they can win players’ loyalty and respect.
The government has warned gambling operators trying to attract Danish players before they will receive licenses. According to “Ace”, the Danish magazine, government spokesmen said that they would take ISP blocking action to prevent Danish customers from playing at unlicensed sites. The government are also said to make it highly difficult for Danish gamblers to withdraw money from unlicensed casino sites after the beginning of July.
Ireland is ready to tax online gambling. According to The Sunday Independent, Prime Minister Brian Cowen is going to introduce legislation to tax gambling online. The Irish government wants to collect the taxes at the rate of 1% from online and phone sports betting. Most authorities say that this tax will help the country’s economy, but there are rumors that the main aim of this tax is to finance the racing industry. They say that this tax money will go to the rich horse owners in the end.
Ireland suffering from an economic crisis and the job losses can get new jobs thanks to online gambling operators. Paddy Power the leading online gambling operator in Ireland had planned to give 350 new jobs in the country but it will have to refuse this idea if the taxes become a reality.

The cult of COVID-19 declares me a heretic
I defended pandemic mitigation policy, so suggesting I oppose it because I disagree with one specific policy is shamefully dishonest.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, I defended the economic lockdowns on a temporary basis. There was a lot we did not know about the pandemic, and it was wise to shut things down to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. I was wearing a mask indoors in public places before it was mandatory, and I have defended the mask mandate. Many of my conservative friends were strongly opposed to both.
Contrary to a fraudulent comment on my letter to the editor, I never once said "Govenrment (sic) is bad but it's my right to act irresponsibly." I defended pandemic mitigation policy, so suggesting I oppose it because I disagree with one specific policy is shamefully dishonest. Furthermore, what facts in my letter were wrong? Point to specific claims, and cite sources that prove what I said was factually wrong.
What I do not agree with is a severely restrictive order limiting private gatherings to 15 people. Because I am not in 100% perfect agreement with their theology, the cult of COVID-19 has declared me guilty of heresy and witchcraft. I will not be repenting of either.
If the risk of transmission is low enough to open the schools, allow people to stand in line to vote, attend church services, go to a restaurant or shop at the grocery store, there is no justification for a 15 person limit on private gatherings, including church ministries like home fellowship groups and Bible studies. Me attending a home fellowship group in city limits does not cause anyone to get sick, especially if they are not part of my group. Your fear and paranoia does not justify taking away the First Amendment.
COVID-19 is a serious disease, and we should take it seriously. That is why I defended pandemic mitigation policy. But government's authority to implement policy is not and should not be unlimited. We do have the First Amendment right to freedom of assembly and freedom of religion, and I stand by my position that most people can be trusted to behave responsibly.
The fatality rate for COVID-19 is as follows.
0-19 years: 0.003%
20-49 years: 0.02%
50-69 years: 0.5%
70+ years: 5.4%
Which means the survival rate for COVID-19 is as follows:
0-19 years: 99.997%
20-49 years: 99.98%
50-69 years: 99.5%
70+ years: 94.6%
If you do not feel safe doing certain things, then by all means avoid doing so. But we need to have a sense of proportion. This is not Ebola, which is fatal up to 90% of the time. As I have said dozens of times, some restrictions were and are wise - especially to protect the most vulnerable. We certainly need to protect nursing homes and senior living facilities. However, the fatality rate for COVID-19 does not justify draconian restrictions on First Amendment rights implemented in perpetuity, with no end in sight.

Just like you need to have precise control over your unit’s temperature, you also need to make sure that your smoker can reach an adequate temperature. Most pellet smokers can reach temperatures between 180°F and 425°F, which is a decent range that can fulfill most of your smoking, baking, and grilling purposes. However, if you want to sear your meat, you will need a unit that can reach at least 500°F.
I bought this grill in May 2018. Had to return it to Ace 9 days later because it wouldn’t keep temp or would go out and fill up with pellets. I had to have the GM of Ace fight for me to get a new grill from Traeger. Once I did the new one seemed to work for about a month. Since then this one does the same thing as far as heat and pellets. I thought this thing was supposed to be a set and forget grill. If I don’t watch the heat it will be 200+ degrees over the set heat or sometimes be at ambient temperature and I have to pull me meat, grill and grease tray out so I can empty the heat pot of all the Unburned pellets. This thing is nothing but trouble. Does it cook great meat? Yes! When it works and you babysit it the whole time. On top of that customer service is about as useless as ** on a boar! They will try and tell you it’s something you’ve done wrong. I will be buying another brand smoker and giving this one to someone who like to deal with troubles.
So if you want more of a smoke profile, cook at longer and lower temps in your pellet pit. I have found that is the best way to get a more distinct smoke profile in your food. Cook at 180–190 for the first several hours. That probably has the biggest impact. Next, make sure you are using a good, quality hardwood pellet. I can tell you that you will notice a very large difference in the flavor profile between say a Traeger pellet vs. say one of Candy’s [BBQers Delight pellets]. — Read more on PelletSmoking.com
There is a bit of a learning curve when cooking with pellet grills. This unit can smoke, grill or bake similar to an oven. The Traeger smokes at 180*, but can cook up to 450*. It is indirect heat, so you can grill a ribeye without flare ups. My unit holds temps within 5+/- of the setting. Yes, you do have to clean it like a fireplace, it doesn't run on gas. The build quality is amazing, especially for a PRC manufacture. If you are interested in a pellet grill, buy a pellet cookbook. Something that gives smoke and cook times for an easier introduction into pellet cooking. The only knock against the unit is that for $800 it should have came with the "optional" folding shelf...
PID Controller–PID Controllers (Proportional Integral Derivative) are devices that most of the grill manufactures don’t fully utilize yet. They can be found as a separate device attached to the grills if you’re handy enough, but all the manufacturers aren’t fully considering them yet. Using a PID controller, you can accurately maintain the temperature while cooking and ensure that the food is cooked automatically to perfection without much supervision.
Three and a half months ago, my fiancée and I loaded all our worldly belongings into a trailer and drove that stuff to our new house in Montana. As one of my most-loved things, the Egg was in there, carefully packed inside and out to make sure no part of it would break. Worrying about it riding back there was one of the reasons my average speed on that drive was just 47 miles per hour.

Rubbery skin has very little to do with the type of heat (direct vs indirect). Rubbery skin is a result of too low a cooking temperature. Take your smoker/grill or whatever you use and get the temperature in the mid 400’s or even higher and you will get crispy skin. One thing though never let the internal temperature of your bird get over 150 or you’ll have crispy skin and dry crunchy meat too. Take it off the grill and let is rest a full 30 minutes. Best bird you’ll ever eat no matter which grill, smoker, 50 gal barrel, etc you cooked it on.
I have owned my YS640 for about 9 months now. Before I bought this I researched smokers/grills for about 2 years because I had very little experience with them & cooking in general. With the help of a few good websites I have produced some great food. There is a ton of room to cook on & the heat stays pretty much where you want it. Only a few issues I have had is that where the stack mounts to the side of the grill it drips. I did have a scratch on mine from the shipper & when I called about it I was sent a can of matching high temp paint very quickly. One thing that I like the most about this smoker is it is heavy. You can tell that this thing was built to last.
While using and running a pellet grill is child’s play, catching the right offer on pellet grills can be a hassle for consumers who have little to know clue about it can prove a costly bargain. Knowing your facts prior to buying one is always a good a smart idea. My pellet grill review will do the best it can to educate you on the things you need to look out for when purchasing your perfect grill. Here are a few heads-up:
Also own a Big Steel Keg which I love! Didn’t want an egg or a Primo while I was up north WY & CO as I had to many friends complain about cracking when trying to use them in cold weather! Many times at Thanksgiving or Christmas I have cooked on any or all of these devices at -5 to -10. It can be done but with a strong wind it is quite a challenge! My Weber (been thru a couples) and my Keg still have high ratings for great steaks and burgers. But for low and slow you are pushing it to get there and my friends with the ceramic style units say it takes some practice and close attention. What I don’t like about and Egg or my Keg is if you do need to end up feeding the fire on a long cook it is a real serious challenge!

This website has a lot of negative reviews... I mixed some salt and pepper, rubbed onto some ribs, and put on the Traeger. After about 5 hours sitting in my a/c living room, looking out the window, at perfectly managed temp, the ribs were done, perfect, juicy, with a beautiful wood smoky flavor that I've never gotten on charcoal or even in restaurants with professional pitmasters and all. I did phone Traeger when I was putting the grill together and doing the 1st burn in, there were humans there (!) and they were knowledgeable and helpful on the 1st time.
The Woodwind is a Pellet Grill for the connoisseur. Along with a high price tag come all sorts of fancy extras, from a specially constructed 'sear box' to a lever-operated cleaning system for removing wood ash. It's roomy too, with over 500 square inches of cooking space so whether you're cooking for one or smoking several racks of ribs at the same time, the Woodwind will get the job done.
Turn it on to "Smoke" mode and use the P settings, or cook mode by selecting a temperature. When you select smoke or a temp setting you start the ignition sequence. The fan, igniter and auger motor turn on. The fan stays on until the smoker is turned off. The auger motor continuously delivers pellets to the red hot igniter rod in the firebox for two minutes under normal conditions. Then the igniter rod shuts off and the pellet fire burns with only the assistance of the auger and the fan.
Consistency is the key to having the best results. If you want to make a tender brisket, your cooking temperature should be close to 250 F during the entire 12-hour cooking period. The control board is responsible for precision. There are three types of controllers – PID multi-position, non-PID one-touch, and 3-position. Check out the different types of controllers for the one that is right for you.

This is the most important aspect you should look into when buying a new pellet grill. You always hear people saying that a product will cost more money if it’s built with better quality materials and that is absolutely true when it comes to pellet grills. Let’s start with the basics – the most common material that is used when producing a pellet grill is steel. There are many different types of steel from high-grade stainless steel to lower grades that aren’t as sturdy. Cheap pellet grills will be constructed of a decent grade of steel when creating the outer appearance so that it’s sharp to look at. However, the inner parts of the grill are made out of lower-grade metals. Do you see the problem here? Even though the grill may look aesthetically pleasing from the outside, these nice looks won’t make up for thelow-quality materials that are used inside. This can quickly lead to the inner components of the grill deteriorating and in need of replacements. This ultimately results in you spending additional money to replace these parts once they are no longer functional.
The Fast Eddy by Cookshack is an American designed and manufactured Pellet Grill with a riveted stainless steel body and solid digitally controlled system to maintain the consistent temperature.
