Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
I love my grill... great control of heat well made for the price Easy clean up of wood or coal ashes also when I lean up the exterior I wash it then give a very light coat of oil... I would highly recommend to people that take care of their things and want something I think will last for years
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
Bought this grill couldn't wait to get it home and put together. Opened box got it all out and NO HARDWEAR NO INSTRUCTIONS ONE PART IS BENT NO SWING AWAY GRATE OR THE PORCELAIN GRATES. Store advises to call char broil. We'll it's Sunday CLOSED. Now I'm stuck with a box of grill parts. Very unhappy!!
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
Love it and have been using it at least three cooking seasons. But we need to replace the coal shelf but there is no model sticker on the back of the shelf so I can't search for parts. It only has one outside shelf and the chimney is on the right side. The charcoal holder moves up and down manually on a ladder type system. Any help you can give me is appreciated!
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
I love this grill. Yes when you move it around parts come loose. I always tighten them back up. All I need to know is where I can buy more grates for this exact grill?
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
about this gril 2 years ago jerry is very thin doesn't hold up very well so I had a chance I do it all over again what thicker grill
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
I've had this grill for almost two years now and love it. I've cooked turkeys, pork shoulders, tenderloins, steaks, you name it and have never had an issue controlling the temp. I've moved this grill on many occasions with no damage. Maybe if your dragging it out to go tailgating you'd have an issue but not moving it around the patio. The quality is fine, I'd buy another one in a minute.
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
Have a charbroil grill very similar to this one (only one side shelf- right). I don't see my model on here. Wondering if charbroil makes a smoker box accessory to attach.
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
We have had this grill for 5 years and used it year 'round. It lived outside, sometimes without the cover. It has served us well. Time for a new one. We have shopped all over town and believe we want another one just like this. It served our needs for large gatherings and family dinners. Perfect size and does the job for the price point. Now, we cannot find one without paying $200 for shipping. HELP!!

Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
The ability to raise and lower your charcoal is a plus. The metal is a little too light.
Comments about Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill:
This is my second grill im ordering today. Moved. My first and last one is still going strong at least 10 years. Never had a problem ever. After several years, I took the body off the frame and used it as a desk top in our newly built barbque center. We also installed a gas and never used it. Only reliable charcoal broil. It always delivered the best taste and quality of cooking

25 best things to do this summer 2009
Laura Davis
Laura Davis is Commissioning Editor for Independent Online (Food & Drink, Travel, Health, Gaming) and editor of weekly gaming column The Console
Friday 26 June 2009
Whether you're just finishing uni or have got more time to go, here are a selection of things for you to do this summer - and you don't even need good weather for all of them.
1. Music Festivals
Missed out on tickets to Glastonbury? No problem. There are still loads of tickets available at an array of festivals across the UK so don't let that stop you. All music tastes are pretty much catered for, and if you're worried about the money – think of it this way... you could pay £30 to see one band, or go and see 30 bands for a mere 5 times the price. You do the math.
2. Wimbledon
Even though it doesn't seem likely that we'll ever win again, Wimbledon's always still worth a watch. Tickets are hard to find – to the point of the local cemetery allowing people to park over graves to watch - but at least all the matches can be seen on television from now till July 5.
3. Theatre
There are plenty of sites to buy theatre tickets with various deals and last-minute prices - so cost shouldn't be too big a factor in visiting the theatre.
For a celeb/Shakepeare collision go for Jude Law in Hamlet, or Lenny Henry as Othello, if you want a theatrical classic go for Les Misérables or The Phantom of the Opera, and for the fun go and see Avenue Q or We Will Rock You.
4. The lido
You can only do this in the summer so be sure to make the most of it! Relax while sunbathing, then take a dip in the pool – exactly like a holiday but not so far from home. There aren't that many, but some are dotted about so look them up. Here's a list of Lidos around the UK.
5. Do something for charity
There are various runs organised by charities:
Run 10k for Cancer Research UK
Run with the British Heart Foundation
The 2009 adidas Women's 5K Challenge
Or try something a bit different:
Macmillan cancer support big picnic
Liverpool to Chester Bike Ride 2009
6. Go to a local park
Revisit your childhood. Go for a picnic, plan a game of football or rounders, or just relax outside. It costs nothing, you don't have to travel far, and best of all you don't have to be home by 5 o'clock.
7. Work experience
If you've got more uni to go – take advantage of some of your free-time in the summer by getting some work experience. It's more desirable than ever and employers really have their pick of the bunch at the moment - so it's definitely worth spending a few weeks gaining some experience so you can stand out from the crowd.
8. BBC Proms
The Proms last from 17 July to 12 September and if you book early enough you can get tickets for only £7.00
9. See a film
Summer releases:
Public Enemies – July 1st
Bruno - July 10th
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince - July 15th
Inglourious Basterds – August 21
Or if you don't like the cinema, rent a film – Blockbusters have various vouchers circulating. If you're really strapped for cash, try visiting your local library as you can rent some reasonably new titles on the cheap.
10. Get a Job!
If that overdraft has reached its limit and you don't want to spend 3 months doing nothing this is pretty much your only option (unless you're willing to ponce from your parents.) It is guaranteed to look good on your CV and it will definitely help soften the blow of getting a full-time job after uni!
11. Comedy Clubs
If you're just finishing your last year at uni you might need some comic relief in between applying for jobs.
12. Go Camping!
Spend a night with Mother Nature - she'll definitely show you a good time. It's cheap and fun – as long as you close your tent properly bugs shouldn't be too much of a problem. A disposable barbeque costs a few pounds (check you're allowed to use them at the campsite) and head to a supermarket before to stock up on beer, meat and marshmallows.
13. De-clutter
What better time to sort out the bills, rent and tuition letters that you never had to deal with before you went to uni. Keep them all together, and keep essays and lecture notes in a separate place – you'll need them eventually for revision.
If you've just finished uni, you'll probably be surprised how much stuff you've accumulated in 3 years. It's a good idea to de-clutter by getting rid of any cowboy hats, traffic cones and that oh-so-original collection of empty alcohol bottles.
14. Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Boasting as the number one tourist attraction in Britain, this is worth a visit with something for everyone, including theatre, comedy, music, dance and exhibition. It's on between 7 and 31 August and tickets are available from £18.
15. Notting Hill Carnival
Want to know what the fuss is about? Notting Hill hosts one of the biggest carnivals in Europe with music, costumes and food. What more could a student want?
16. London Fashion Week
If you don't know your Armani from your Cavalli this might not be for you, but if fashion is your thing then you'll only have to wait until 18 September for the Spring/Summer 2010 collection.
17. Bowling
If you're secretly competitive and don't want anyone to know – don't go bowling. It will come out. Most Bowling Alleys offer student discounts so be sure to flash that card.
18. Theme Parks
Theme Parks are a great day out (unless you're under 1.4ft). The massive adrenalin rushes are bound to left you feeling exhausted but it's well worth it. Best to try and go when the kids are at school so try the beginning or end of summer.
20. Learn a new skill
Could be anything from learning to knit, play archery or cook. Often there are courses that aid future plans, such as an acting course for students entering the dramatic world or language courses for those going abroad.
21. Hit the beach
It wouldn't be summer without a trip to the beach. All you need is a towel and a swimsuit (unless it's a nude beach), and about £1.50 for a 99 Flake.
22. Read
Take at look at our our 50 best summer reads. Or if you're fancy bringing out your inner geek, check out the reading lists for your units next year and do a bit of advanced ready in preparation.
23. Appreciate some culture
There is a feast of exhibitions being held across the UK this summer. Bristol Museum is hosting Banksy's biggest ever exhibition, The O2 is holding their Body Worlds exhibition, and the National Portrait gallery is holding Beatles to Bowie – with rare photos of 60's legends.
Don't forget about those school trips you went on but never really appreciated as a child - The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the Tate Modern, the Natural History Museum, Zoos, Aquariams and Castles. They're much more fun without a guardian.
24. Have a barbeque
A summer classic. If everyone brings a small selection of different foods it doesn't cost much, you just need a garden, and of course a barbeque.
25. Make the most of it
You've heard it before and you'll hear it again, but you really won't fully appreciate all this free-time and lack of responsibility until it's gone. So make sure you have fun and don't put off the things you want to do this summer, because you'll never get a chance again like this one.

Enhanced ImageRead MoreBoard-certified surgeon Dr. Bruce Marko has a light touch for body sculpting and facial rejuvenation at Enhanced Images Medical, eschewing the "no pain, no gain" beauty philosophy. Dedicated to minimally invasive procedures, he has continually sought out new, gentle technology since he completed his surgical residency at the Orlando Regional Medical Center and saw the wrinkles Linda Hamilton developed while screaming in The Terminator. His specialty in microscopic hair transplantation represents both his technical precision—he painstakingly duplicates the original growth pattern with new follicles—and his interest in creating a natural look with small adjustments. He also takes his time with patients, who develop a safe, effective route toward their ideal look during free 20-minute conferences. Although Dr. Marko can lift slack cheeks with a few deft incisions, he maintains a collection of five cosmetic injections to smooth facial creases with little more than a pinprick. Erchonia and Cynosure lasers help patients to sidestep weight-loss surgery and skin-rejuvenation techniques that abrade cheeks through exposure to Fran Drescher's laugh, and the lasers can also rout toenail fungus and unwanted hair.15830 John J Delaney DrCharlotte, NC US

Memorial Day: About half of veterans of post-9/11 wars served with someone who was killed
The practice of dedicating a day to honoring America's war dead has its roots in the years immediately after the Civil War — though it wasn't until 1971 that Memorial Day was officially declared a national holiday by Congress to honor the fallen of all wars.
The day will be an intensely personal experience for many veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts — about half (47%) said that they served with a comrade that had been killed, according to a Pew Research Center survey of veterans conducted in 2011. That number rises to 62% among soldiers who were in combat.
Service members who were seriously wounded or knew someone who was killed or seriously wound were more likely to say the wars were worth fighting. In the case of Iraq, 48% of these veterans said the war was worth fighting compared with 36% among those not exposed to casualties. For Afghanistan, the margin saying the war was worth fighting was higher — 55% to 40%. Read More →

The declining value of U.S. newspapers
Over the past two decades, major newspapers across the country have seen a recurring cycle of ownership changes and steep declines in value.
The San Diego Union-Tribune was the latest example of this, as it officially changed ownership hands Thursday for the third time in six years. This most recent purchase came from Tribune Publishing Co. for the amount of $85 million (including nine community papers). Still waiting for a buyer is the 96-year-old New York tabloid the Daily News, which owner Mort Zuckerman put on the sale block this spring. But there seems to be far from a stampede of interested buyers. Read More →

Mormons more likely to marry, have more children than other U.S. religious groups
The share of Americans who identify as Mormons has roughly held steady even as the percentage of Christians in the U.S. has declined dramatically in recent years, according to the Pew Research Center's 2014 Religious Landscape Study. And the study found Mormons stand out in other ways: They have higher fertility rates and are far more likely than members of most other major religious traditions to be married – especially to other Mormons.
Mormons made up 1.6% of the American adult population in 2014, little changed from 2007 (1.7%), the last time a similar survey was conducted. By contrast, the percentage of Christians in the U.S. has dropped from 78.4% to 70.6% during the same time period.
Two-thirds (66%) of U.S. Mormon adults are currently married, down slightly from 71% in 2007 – but still high compared with current rates among Christians overall (52%) and U.S. adults overall (48%). (Marriage rates are lower across the board than they were several years ago.) Read More →

For Fact Tank's anniversary, a look back at the news in the numbers
Much of Pew Research Center's work focuses on public opinion, in the United States and around the world. But we also track economic and demographic data to see how society is changing. When we launched Fact Tank two years ago, the goal was to expand on the center's data storytelling by bringing context to the day's major news events and policy discussions.
To celebrate Fact Tank's anniversary, here's a roundup of our most-visited blog posts over the past year, along with some insights into the editorial thinking behind them:

Americans are aging, but not as fast as people in Germany, Italy and Japan
A new Pew Research Center report shows that in the United States, the share of people aged 65 or older will rise dramatically by 2050. However, the U.S. isn't experiencing the same gray wave that many other developed nations in Europe and Japan are. At least one-in-five people in Japan, Germany and Italy are already 65 or older, and most other European countries are close behind.
In the U.S., 13% of the population is 65 or older, ranking the country 42nd on this measure out of about 200 other places in 2010, according to United Nations data.
But thanks in large part to global increases in life expectancy, populations in all regions of the world are expected to age dramatically in the coming decades, according to the United Nations. Europe and North America will continue to lead this trend, with the largest shares of older people through the middle of the century. Currently, 16% of Europe is comprised of people 65 and older, as is 13% of North America. By 2050, one-fourth (27%) of Europe's population will be at least 65 years old, as will 22% of North America's. In Oceania, the share of older people is expected to rise from 11% to 18%.

More Americans are using social media to connect with politicians
Twitter just gained another famous user: President Barack Obama.
On Monday, the White House launched @POTUS, the official Twitter handle for the commander in chief. Obama will personally oversee the account – as he remarked in his first tweet, "Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account." (Until now, there has been a @BarackObama account that was mostly managed by a group spun off from his past campaigns.)
This seems like a logical next step for an administration that from the start embraced social media — a platform that has come to play a bigger role in how Americans get political news and information.
Overall, 16% of registered voters follow candidates for office, political parties, or elected officials on a social networking site, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted during the lead-up to the 2014 midterm election. That is a 10 percentage point increase from the 2010 midterms, when only 6% of registered voters did so. Read More →

Growing share of U.S. immigrants have no religious affiliation
Immigrants to the U.S. are increasingly identifying themselves as religiously unaffiliated, that is, atheist, agnostic or having "no religion in particular," according to a new Pew Research Center study of America's religious composition. Indeed, recent immigrants (those who have arrived since 2000) are as likely to have no religious affiliation as the country's overall adult population.
Our 2014 Religious Landscape Study, a follow-up to the center's first Religious Landscape Study in 2007, found that one-in-five immigrants said they did not belong to any religion – an increase of 4 percentage points since 2007, when 16% said they did not associate with any faith tradition.
The new survey also found that the share of Christian immigrants has slipped somewhat in the same period, moving from 75% to 68%. That too is in line with trends in the general population, where the share that is Christian has declined.
There also has been growth in the percentage of immigrants who are adherents of non-Christian faiths, rising from 8% to 12% in the past seven years, the new study found. Some groups have seen significant increases. For instance, Muslims now account for 4% of foreign-born residents in this country, up from 2% in 2007.

Mainline Protestants make up shrinking number of U.S. adults
Most of the Founding Fathers of the United States – not to mention a majority of U.S. presidents – were members of Christian denominations that fall into the mainline Protestant tradition. But in recent years, the share of Americans who identify with mainline Protestantism has been shrinking significantly, a trend driven partly by generational change.
Pew Research Center's 2014 Religious Landscape Study finds that 14.7% of U.S. adults are affiliated with the mainline Protestant tradition – a sharp decline from 18.1% when our last Religious Landscape Study was conducted in 2007. Mainline Protestants have declined at a faster rate than any other major Christian group, including Catholics and evangelical Protestants, and as a result also are shrinking as a share of all Protestants and Christians.
Indeed, despite overall U.S. population growth between 2007 and 2014, the total number of mainline Protestant adults has decreased by roughly 5 million during that time (from about 41 million in 2007 to 36 million in 2014).

With trade on Congress' agenda, just what does the U.S. import and export?
The U.S. Senate may vote this week on whether to give President Obama so-called "fast-track" authority to finish negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. Should the fast-track legislation pass the Senate and then the House, the trade deal would get a straight up-or-down vote in Congress, with no amendments allowed.
The TPP would remove trade barriers among 12 nations on both sides of the Pacific, including the United States, which collectively account for about 40% of the global economy. The TPP countries represent about 40% of all U.S. international trade, and they include three of the top four U.S. trade partners: Canada (No. 1), Mexico (No. 3) and Japan (No. 4).
The renewed focus on trade made us wonder: Just what kinds of things does the U.S. export and import, and how have those patterns changed recently? Although services (such as financial services, intellectual property, and travel and transport) are significant, most international trade still involves tangible goods, so that's what we'll focus on.

Compared with other Christian groups, evangelicals' dropoff is less steep
Unlike some other groups of Christians in the U.S., evangelical Protestants have not declined much as a share of the U.S. population in recent years, according to a major new Pew Research Center study.
Our 2014 Religious Landscape Study finds that since 2007, when a similar survey was conducted, the share of evangelical Protestants has fallen only modestly, from 26.3% of the adult population to 25.4%. By contrast, both Roman Catholics and mainline Protestants have declined by more than three percentage points during the same period.
Looking at the raw numbers, the evangelical population actually appears to have grown slightly over the last seven years, rising from roughly 60 million to about 62 million. Again, this contrasts with mainline Protestants and Catholics, who together have lost several million adherents during the same time period. Read More →

Mormon missionaries tearfully part after typhoon closes their mission
Eleanor Vera Cruz
SALT LAKE CITY — The LDS Church released a video about the recovery of the more than 200 missionaries in the Philippines Tacloban Mission after Typhoon Haiyan recently decimated the region.
Dozens of missionaries were missing more than two days after the typhoon hit, but all were eventually found safe.
However, the mission had to be closed for now. Saturday, the missionaries said good-byes and left for their new assignments. There are now 20 operating LDS missions in the Philippines, and the Tacloban missionaries have been spread out across 11 of those.
Deseret News reporter Jesse Hyde was there Saturday and interviewed the missionaries and church leaders. He filed this riveting report about the stirring escape from a flooding apartment made by 10 sister missionaries.
Eleanor Vera Cruz, a Latter-day Saint who lives in the Philippines, told the Deseret News via email that the presidents of those missions are welcoming the "heroes" of Typhoon Haiyan.
Cruz said she has a friend who was called to the Tacloban Mission and is scheduled to report to the Philippines Missionary Training Center in December. The young man is waiting for a letter of reassignment.
Cruz said the LDS Church has partnered with the Tulong ng Kapatid Foundation to bring relief goods to victims in the Western Visayaz. More is needed, she said, so church volunteers continue to pack goods in chapels and meetinghouses.
Those who wish to donate to the LDS Church's humanitarian aid effort may contribute at give.lds.org/response.

Destined for Execution,
This review is from: The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus's Final Days in Jerusalem (Paperback)
"Two processions entered Jerusalem on a spring day in the year 30. It was the beginning of the week of Passover." From the East came a peasant procession with Jesus of Nazareth riding on a donkey and cheered by his followers. From the West came the Roman governor of Idumea, Pontius Pilate, who had come up from Caesarea Maritima. That the two processions occurred on the same day is not recorded in the Bible and, in fact, the two processions may not have happened on the same day. However the Roman governor did travel from Caesarea Maritima for festivals such as Passover. Most of all, for Mark, the procession of Jesus was clearly counter to the procession of Pilate.
The inevitable confrontation may be described as the "domination system" which had developed in Jerusalem. Borg and Crossan explain that domination system is a shorthand for political oppression, economic exploitation, and religious legitimation. Jerusalem had become a society where only a few ruled, the monarch, the nobility, and the wealthy. A high percentage of the society's wealth came from agriculture. Structures of laws of land ownership, taxation, and indenture of labor, put between a half and two-thirds of all of the wealth into the coffers of the few. In ancient societies, these structures were legitimized by religious language: the monarch ruled by divine right and the social order was the will of God.
The day after Jesus made his procession into Jerusalem, he drove the moneychangers from the Temple and aroused the severe wrath of the temple priests. The next day, Tuesday, was a day of challenges. Jesus returns to Jerusalem. As he is walking Jesus is challenged by the chief priests, scribes, and elders who want to know the authority he has for committing his prophetic act in the Temple. Jesus parries and asks about the authority of John the Baptist. Most readers know the story and know that the priests lose face. If that were not enough Jesus counterchallenges with the parable about the vineyard. Borg and Crossan emphasize that the priests et al realize that that parable was spoken against them.
So was Jesus destined for execution? From the point of view of the will of God, Borg and Crossan maintain an emphatic negative response: "It is never the will of God that a righteous man be crucified." Judas did not
*have* to betray Jesus. The Temple priests did not *have* to seek execution. (There is a similar story in Josephus of another who preached against the Temple. Interestingly this other man was only flogged.)
Rather it was the inevitability of the domination system that sent Jesus to death. Borg and Crossan wonder what it was about Jesus and his followers that so provoked the authorities.
Certainly the death of Jesus stunned his followers. Borg and Crossan find various ways for the followers of Jesus to come to grips with this within the New Testament and in subsequent centuries. For example, many Christians believe that the real reason (substitutionary atonement) for the death of Jesus was best explained by St Anselm in 1097. But how soon did the followers of Jesus try to begin to explain his death as an atonement? Have a look at 1 John 2.2 and 4.10.

"BYD produced substantial documents to the commissioner's office proving that BYD paid these professionals the equivalent of above the state minimum wage of $8 hour," said Lanny J. Davis, attorney for BYD. "BYD documents prove that these professionals were in fact paid $12-$16 / hour. Therefore, the Commissioner's office has agreed to dismiss the minimum wage assessment based on the alleged under-minimum-wage payments. All five of these professionals were no longer working for BYD in California by the end of 2013."
The Commissioner did still take issue with the fact that BYD paid the five employees in question in their home currency instead of U.S. dollars, with the company agreeing to pay the $1,900 fine for the alleged error.

The changes are aimed at improving bus operations and reducing congestion in the terminal that can stretch back out into the inbound Lincoln Tunnel and beyond.
The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority's current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan's environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.
