Nature, fashion, and above all, the couples themselves.
When announced into their reception, one of my couples walked in together—and the groom busted out dancing. He was quiet for most of the day, so it was a great moment!
Watching the look on the groom's face as he sees his bride for the first time. There is nothing like that moment.
Every wedding I learn something new. Always be teachable.
Put something of yourselves in the details.

The color you choose to put on the walls of your new custom home can speak volumes about your personality. Certain colors can portray different feelings, and visitors and residents can quickly pick up on these clues when they step into the room. If you are going to repaint or are moving to a new home, give the new colors some extra thought and decide what they say about you.
Your favorite color may speak to your personality, but it can also help you create a specific feeling or atmosphere. Here is a guide to help you pick your color scheme and create the feeling and mood you desire for your home.
If yellow is your first choice, it shows that you enjoy learning and sharing knowledge. You tend to live on the happier side of the spectrum, and have a lot of sunshine to share. If you choose a warm color in the yellow and orange family, you will create a welcoming feeling. These are the colors of sunshine. They are bright and happy. The brightness is inviting and makes people feel welcome in the space.
Blue tones are for people how are reliable, sensitive, and strive for harmony. You tend to think of others and prefer things neat and tidy. It is easy to make the comparison of a cool blue with the blue sky. The colors you use are often associated with where they can be found in nature, which is why the comparison of a cool blue paint to the blue sky easily creates a calm, tranquil feeling. The space feels open and often larger.
Brown is the color of earth, and it shows that you are a good friend and work hard to be reliable and dependable. You're not terribly interested in glittering, glowing things in life, and prefer the simple, direct route. Browns are also a warm tone which can provide a calming effect on you and your visitors.
Black can be a bold and stark color and can instantly add drama and elegance to a room. A lot of people are scared to paint black because of its' boldness, but when done right, it creates an elegant and formal look. People who choose black are also very artistic and sensitive. They are commonly a little more closed off than others, but will share personal details when they're asked.
This is the color we most associate with passion and other intense feelings. People who choose red tend to be very active and like to live for the moment. They can be very determined or very stubborn, depending on how you look at it. This is also not an easy color to use in a room, but with care it can be very attractive.
White is a difficult color. It can say a couple things about you. First, it might say that you are very organized and logical. You don't care for clutter in your life and prefer a clean appearance. On the other hand, it may just say that you haven't gotten around to personalizing you home yet and are fine with the stock color. Be careful with this one and make sure you are sending the right message.
It doesn't matter if you are building a small home or luxury home. The right color of paint can really set the mood of your home.

Farm to Plate talk raises produce question
KILLINGTON From Cabot cheese to Ben & Jerrys ice cream, Vermont dairy products can be found on the shelves of any supermarket or food co-op. Is produce the next frontier in local food retail?
This question was one of many considered during the third annual gathering of the Farm to Plate Network, held Tuesday and Wednesday at Killington Grand Resort and Conference Center.
The event drew more than 250 network members from a diverse range of fields: farmers, processors, retailers, governmental entities and dozens of nonprofits advocating for food justice or offering technical assistance.
Among the attendees was Chuck Ross, secretary of the state Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets.
Vermonters want to buy local and engage in their communities, and you folks are making that happen in Vermont, Ross said. We are the leader in the country for community-based agriculture.
The event highlighted success stories, such as connecting livestock ranchers with meat processors and distributors and ultimately chefs, who can share what kind of cuts they are looking for. During a series of panel discussions, network members addressed the higher costs of local food, how the changing climate is affecting the states food system, and the challenges and opportunities of selling local food at the retail level in the future.
Retail food sales are a $2 billion-a year industry in the state, according to Jim Harrison, president of the Vermont Grocers Association, which has more than 600 member stores across the state.
The association has small independent stores, such as the Woodstock Farmers Market, which, according to owner Patrick Crowl, has annual sales of $5 million as the market carries numerous products made in Vermont.
However, according to Harrison, 65 percent of food sales come from the three supermarket chains found in the state: Hannaford, Price Chopper and Shaws.
Suzanne Kelley, who manages a program to fight obesity with the state Department of Health, asked why chain supermarkets are not carrying locally-grown apples. Andy Willette, store manager for 14 Hannaford supermarkets in Vermont, said his stores source their apples and other products locally as they are available.
We carry 100 percent of what Champlain orchards offers, but that doesnt meet 100 percent of customer demand, Willette said, while noting that on many occasions, local growers dont offer the diversity of products, or have the ability to keep up with the volume of product needed.
One grower said the packaging plastic bag and UPC required by supermarket chains is an obstacle to being able to bring his product to those markets.
If there were no solutions to these hard questions, it was a step in the right direction for the Farm to Plate Network, which has a long-term vision for food production in the region, according to Ellen Kahler, executive director of the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, the backbone organization of the Farm to Plate Network.
Vermont has more land in agriculture than many other New England states, but other New England states have more consumers, Kahler said. So, Vermont is increasingly affecting the broader supply chain, which aligns with the emerging vision for New England to produce 50 percent of its food by 2060.

All About Pie Crusts
Mixing Pastry With a Food Processor
If you have a food processor, you can try using it to mix pastry dough. It's easy and reliable and makes a high-quality crust. To mix pastry dough:
- Place the dry ingredients in the food processor and process for 20 seconds.
- Mix all liquid ingredients together. You can place the mixture in the refrigerator or add an ice cube to chill it thoroughly.
- Cut the margarine or butter into small pieces and distribute it evenly over the top of the dry ingredients. Or drop spoonfuls of shortening evenly over the dry ingredients. Process for 15 to 20 seconds or until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Take the liquid mixture out of the refrigerator or remove the ice cube. Add the liquid in a slow, steady stream to the flour-shortening mixture as the food processor is running. Process until the liquid is just distributed throughout the dough and the dough holds together. Pinch a marble-sized piece of dough between your thumb and index finger. If it doesn't hold together, add more liquid.
If your pastry didn't turn out perfectly, look for one of the following problems (and its solution) in the Troubleshooting Pastry section.

Meatless Monday: Go For The Grain
I've often considered whole grains to be bor-ing and have definitely been guilty of relegating them to side dish status. Recently, however, I started noticing whole grains popping up in more and more restaurant–as stellar appetizers, salads and vegetarian main dishes–and have experienced a change of heart.
This Meatless Monday, I challenge you to get on this trending train and put these old, ancient grains in the spotlight as your main dish star. With the recipes below and numerous options including farro, millet, barley, brown rice, quinoa and more, there are multiple ways to make a satisfying meatless dish.
Since I'm a true believer in knowledge being power (nerd alert!), let's go over a few quick "health hits" first. Did you know that whole grains…
- contain more antioxidants than fruit and vegetables including vitamins and minerals like B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium and iron?
- can slash the risk of heart disease and diabetes by more than 25 percent when consumed regularly?
- cost half the price of meat and are full of fiber which keeps you full and helps you burn more calories? (Yup, that's right. You can save money and lose weight? Hell yes!)
Now let's get cookin'!
Farro Spaghetti with Buttery Tomato Sauce & Farm Spinach
"Farro is one of my favorite types of wheat," says Rachael. "And now you can find it in pasta!" Farro pasta has a nutty and complex flavor without the heaviness of whole grain pasta. Look for it in your local stores or online. Click here for more casual 30-Minute Meals from Rachael.
Green & Gold Quinoa Salad
When you're looking for flexibility, quinoa is the grain to use. I love this ingredient because it can be creamy or crunchy, shaped and molded into other dishes like patties and works as the main attraction or a just a garnish. In addition, it's gluten-free and super fast to make. Zucchini and corn are tossed with light and fluffy quinoa in this colorful main dish. However, feel free to experiment with whatever veggies you like the most or whatever is in season. Serve this salad hot or cold and save time by making it up to 2 days in advance and storing in the refrigerator.
Tuscan Kale & Farro Soup
Farro is a healthy whole-grain that Italians have been eating for years in everything from salad to soups. As a complex carbohydrate, it breaks down slowly in your system which helps to keep your energy levels stable. Make this recipe for approximately $2.50 per person and add in mushrooms for an extra buck. Click here to get this recipe and more $3 Italian soups.
Butternut Squash Barley Risotto
Usually you'll find barley playing second fiddle in a soup recipe, but this meatless meal from our Italian-inspired Express Lane Suppers showcases barley's subtly buttery flavor by pairing it with butternut squash and peas. Save time by using pre-cut squash from your grocery store and our Express Lane Supper recipes and customized 10-ingredient shopping list.

text: Massachusetts students tops in math On the announcement that Massachusetts students top the nation in math SAT scores, MTA President Paul Toner applauded the hard work of teachers, students and administrators in achieving yet another educational milestone. "Our students are not only first in the nation in national achievement tests, they are also among the very best on the SAT – a test designed to predict first year grades in college. We are particularly impressed by the rate of improvement, and by the gains made by African-American students in this measure of college readiness." The Dept. or Elementary and Secondary Education announcement is below: Governor Patrick Announces Increase in Math SAT Scores; MA Tops NationReading & Writing scores hold steady; African-American students make strong gains in all three subjects; Participation and Performance on AP Exams also increase Governor Deval Patrick announced that Massachusetts public high school students made greater gains on the mathematics SAT exam than any other state over the past decade, and on the 2010 exam once again outscored all other states with high participation rates. Additionally, African-American students in Massachusetts now lead their peers nationwide. Results released on Sept. 13 by the College Board also show that Massachusetts' overall participation in Advanced Placement (AP) exams rose by 9.5 percent in 2010, and that the state's increase in African-American and Hispanic test takers is the highest in the nation. "The progress we are making in math achievement is tremendous," said Patrick. "The fact that we are not only scoring at the top of the nation, but that we are seeing more of our African-American and Hispanic students challenging themselves by taking AP coursework and exams is a credit to the hard work of our students and educators statewide." "These great gains in both participation and performance show us once again that we are on the right path for education in Massachusetts," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "I am proud of these great accomplishments by our students and their teachers." The 2010 SAT results show that Massachusetts scored 524 in math, an increase of two points from 2009, outscoring all other states where at least 60 percent of public school students participated. Over the past 10 years the state's math score has risen 16 points, more than any other state where at least 25 percent of public school students participated in the SAT. Student results on the Critical Reading (508) and Writing (504) exams remained unchanged from 2009. Massachusetts has had strong performance over the past SAT test administrations with students setting the pace nationwide. In Massachusetts, African-American students made strong gains in all three subjects in 2010, including an eight-point gain in Critical Reading (from 416 to 424), a nine-point gain in Mathematics (from 423 to 433), and a seven-point gain in Writing (from 411 to 418). Those gains in Math and Writing outpaced national gains, and as a result Massachusetts African-American students on average now outscore their peers nationally in Math (432 to 427) and Writing (418 to 416).

In a surrogacy arrangement, a woman agrees to become pregnant in order to carry and give birth to a child others will raise. Surrogacy is often the only option available to an infertile couple who wants to have a child that is genetically related to at least one of them, yet it is controversial and illegal in many parts of the United States.
The surrogate mother, or gestational carrier, may be artificially inseminated with the intended father's sperm and therefore be the child's genetic mother (a traditional surrogacy) or she may be implanted with an embryo created with the intended parents' sperm and egg (gestational surrogacy). In the case of gestational surrogacy, the intended parents typically undergo some form of ART (assisted reproductive technology), such as IVF, to create an embryo, although donated eggs, sperm, or embryos may also be used if necessary. In both forms of surrogacy, the carrier agrees to sign away her parental rights and turn the baby over to the intended parents after she delivers.
Couples who choose surrogacy often are infertile because the woman lacks ovaries and a uterus, or they function too poorly to sustain a pregnancy; or she has suffered recurrent pregnancy loss, repeated IVF implantation failures, or has a disease that precludes pregnancy but not motherhood. Single males and homosexual male couples also use surrogacy.
Gestational carrier arrangements are usually set up through agencies that specialize in surrogacy, or as independent adoptions (in states where they are legal) between the intended parents and carrier. Couples can locate potential carriers with the help of the surrogacy agencies or on their own through friends or family, surrogacy organizations, or on the Internet.
It is difficult to determine the success rate of surrogacy because so many couples make arrangements privately; however, the Organization of Parents Through Surrogacy estimates that approximately 10,000 babies have been born using surrogacy since 1976. The success rate also depends on the quality of the egg and sperm, or embryo used, as well as the fertility and health of the carrier.
There is no federal law regarding surrogacy, and most states in the United States do not have any laws regulating it. Only a handful of states officially recognize and regulate it, and it is illegal in several others, so if you are interested in surrogacy, check this map to be sure it is legal in your state.
For your own protection, it is a good idea to consult with an attorney familiar with your state's surrogacy laws before you enter into any arrangement.
There are potential obstacles and risks associated with surrogacy, including complications from ART procedures such as IVF and insemination, its high cost, legal complexities and possible snags, and the often intricate contracts and arrangements involved. Surrogacy can also be emotionally intense and risky for both parties, and there is always the chance that the carrier will change her mind and try to retain custody of the baby. The intended parents and the carrier may also have conflicting opinions on issues such as genetic testing, how the pregnancy should progress, and how the baby should be delivered.

- Abstract
- We present a photometric investigation of the variation in galaxy colour with environment in 11 X-ray-luminous clusters at 0.07 ≤ z ≤ 0.16 taken from the Las Campanas/AAT Rich Cluster Survey. We study the properties of the galaxy populations in individual clusters, and take advantage of the homogeneity of the sample to combine the clusters together to investigate weaker trends in the composite sample. We find that modal colours of galaxies lying on the colour-magnitude relation in the clusters become bluer by d(B - R)/drp = -0.022 ± 0.004 from the cluster core out to a projected radius of rp = 6 Mpc, further out in radius than any previous study. We also examine the variation in modal galaxy colour with local galaxy density, Σ, for galaxies lying close to the colour-magnitude relation, and find that the median colour shifts bluewards by d(B - R)/dlog10(Σ) = -0.076 ± 0.009 with decreasing local density across three orders of magnitude. We show that the position of the red envelope of galaxies in the colour-magnitude relation does not vary as a function of projected radius or density within the clusters, suggesting that the change in the modal colour results from an increasing fraction of bluer galaxies within the colour-magnitude relation, rather than a change in the colours of the whole population. We show that this shift in the colour-magnitude relations with projected radius and local density is greater than that expected from the changing morphological mix based on the local morphology-density relation We therefore conclude that we are seeing a real change in the properties of galaxies on the colour-magnitude relation in the outskirts of clusters. The simplest interpretation of this result (and similar constraints in local clusters) is that an increasing fraction of galaxies in the lower density regions at large radii within clusters exhibit signatures of star formation in the recent past, signatures which are not seen in the evolved galaxies in the highest density regions.

The shops, the people, the public gardens and mostly the streets gain a new life when the spring time arrives to the city. Spring is here and we like it!
I believe that in every city in the world Spring turns cities merrier and with it's life throbbing from everywhere, but in Lisbon we do have something that no other city has: a combination of factors that turns this European Capital Unique!
I'll explain … The fact that we have many kms of beautiful white sanded beaches just besides the city center, the fact that we have the widest river estuary in Europe – the river Tagus at Lisbon area, in certain points, reaches 22 km wide – and the fact that all the city is developed on hills (allowing you to always have a view over the city and the river), makes Lisbon a unique place to witness the change of Winter into Spring.
And one more aspect makes all these aspects special – Lisbon's White Light. Antonio Tabucchi (an Italian writer) called Lisbon "The White City". He even wrote a novel under this title, and a film was made from it (Love the film by the way …).
More unique than any monument, any neighbourhood, any place or cafè, any pastery or delicatessen, any garden or person is Lisbon's White Light. The sun is our major ally on diferenciating our city from the others. Lisbon (as I usually say to my foreign friends) is the only capital city in Europe, where you can live with all the commodities and all the cultural benifits of a European Capital, and at the same time have the white sunny light of far away and exotic hot beaches. Better even… you have those beaches on a 20 min ride from Lisbon center!
Want better? Imagine better situation than living on a major European Capital with wonderful beaches at you door step? And with lots of hot sun to go with it?
OK … one last metaphor: cross Rio de Janeiro beach mood with historical heritage of Rome and the nice, alternative and civilized mood of Barcelona… and you'll have – LISBON!
Now do you understand why Spring in Lisbon is Special?

September 4, 2013 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — "Volunteer Firefighters: Heroes Among Us," featuring photographic portraits and interviews highlighting the complex day-to-day experiences and unique roles of local firefighters, opens Friday, September 6 in the LOFT gallery at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, with an opening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. The show, created by Ellen Bay and John Dzwonar from Milanville, PA, runs through Saturday, September 28 with a closing reception from 4 to 6 p.m., to coincide with the Sullivan County fire parade on Main Street in Narrowsburg.
Over the past six months, Bay and Dzwonar interviewed firefighters while Bay photographed them, focusing on 17 men and women at five fire houses in New York's Delaware River Valley, including Callicoon, Highland Lake, Lake Huntington, Lava and Narrowsburg. The group ranges in age from 19 to mid-80s, and includes interior and exterior firefighters and support personnel.
Through images and interviews, the show examines the motivations, values, and shared commitment to their communities of this group. The conversations ranged from humorous to intense, including such comments as "Last month I had 50 years active as a fireman; they told me the first 50 are the hardest" to the comment, "I prove myself every day, every call I go to... that is part of what keeps me coming back."

This study analyzed the communication between a national rowing team and their 'virtual coach' over a period of 18 months. An exploratory analysis of 1500+ emails provided insight into how the coach successfully leveraged ubiquitous information technology to build a high performance team. Zaccaro's (2002) framework of functional leadership and Weick and Robert's (1993) framework of collective mind were applied to understand the coach's approach for developing a non‑traditional semi‑ virtual team; the primary role of Coach was likened to that of "sense‑giver" given the charge of developing a "collective mind." This study works to illustrate how ubiquitous technology like e‑mails can be strategically used in the development of a high performing semi‑virtual team.

We are not only in a new millennium, but also in a new era: the knowledge era. Sustainable competitive advantage is dependent on building and exploiting core competencies. The resource‑based view (RBV) of the firm defines a strategic asset as one that is rare, valuable, imperfectly imitable and non‑substitutable. Knowledge is seen as a strategic asset with the potential to be a source of competitive advantage for an organization. In this paper, we provide a model that examines how and why knowledge management (KM) can be used to create competitive advantage from the RBV of the firm.

Knowledge Generation in Developing Countries: A Theoretical Framework for Exploring Dynamic Learning in High‑technology Firms pp87‑96
Look inside Download PDF (free)
In the case of events such as fundamental regulatory reforms or radical technological advances, firms have to undertake discontinuous or dynamic learning. Such learning involves the generation of new capacity through the acquisition of new knowledge and the combination of it with the firm's existing accumulated knowledge. In developing countries the challenge for firms to develop new competencies through dynamic learning is more complex due to political and economic complexities. This paper discusses the limitations of existing frameworks for analysing the process aspect of transformation and proposes a theoretical framework with which to explore dynamic learning in firms from developing countries. The proposed theoretical framework is based on a constructivist approach to organisational knowledge and uses the concept of absorptive capacity. The responses of large pharmaceutical firms to biotechnological change are used to illustrate the areas under investigation. The theoretical framework is used to explore the responses of Indian pharmaceutical firms to changes in patent law required by that country's accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The cases show that the theoretical framework is comprehensive and useful for exploring firm level knowledge processes within firms from developing countries. However a broader analysis of firm‑level learning in developing countries should include an analysis of the institutional environment as this plays an important role in creating environment for firm based learning.

Knowledge Creation and Sharing in a Project Team: An Organizational Analysis Based on the Concept of Organizational Relation pp97‑106
Look inside Download PDF (free)
In today's competitive arena, knowledge and intellectual assets management seems to be the best answer when looking to gain a competitive edge. Furthermore, traditional approaches to knowledge management based on a "single company perspective" are becoming limited; more frequently the problem is to manage "inter‑organizational "collaborations, projects and temporary structures. It is thus necessary to rethink some organizational topics (organizational structures design, personnel involvement and motivation mechanisms etc.) and to review them by introducing suitable and effective modifications with respect to specific knowledge processes. This paper takes the "Organizational Relational Approach" into consideration and applies a method for describing and interpreting the interactions among organizational actors‑ also belonging to different organizations‑ defined as Organizational Relations (OR): the method analyses these relations according to several distinct dimensions: the goals of the OR and the level of sharing for the organizational actors; the organizational rules regulating the behaviour of actors within the OR; the technological and organizational tools supporting the OR; the cultural background associated to the OR. Only when all four dimensions are highly developed is it possible to qualify the existing organizational relations as "rich "or, in this context, as "knowledge intensive" relations. The paper applies the Organizational Relations method of analysis to a successful case study of knowledge transfer from the aerospace field to the health care field. We examined the joint research project carried out by the ASI,‑Italian Space Agency‑ Ferrari DTM and two Italian Orthopaedics Departments. This project has led to the industrial production of an innovative external bone‑setting device. This analysis explains the key factors for success and the effectiveness of the managerial decisions that were adopted. Empirical findings derived from the case study analysis on one hand and results obtained from the application of the Organizational Relational Method on the other have been found to be convergent and this constitutes a good validation of the method used.

The aim of this paper is to discuss which factors can be seen essentially affecting a company's learning ability through its organizational receptivity in inter‑organizational knowledge transfer. This will be done by developing a typology of the factors affecting company's organizational receptivity (and absorptive capacity) of new knowledge in inter‑organizational knowledge transfer. Yet, only after the pre‑conditions for the cooperation are created, it is the individuals' abilities and the organizational culture that can essentially affect the outcome.

Following the biological behaviour of a tree and its growth system, this paper proposes a model of valuation of the Intellectual Capital of an organization based on a variation of the classical Lotka‑Volterra equations system. The proposed model explains the growth of an organization as a consequence of its Intellectual Capital (increment of the surface of the roots), its Knowledge (the consumption of nutritious) and its Learning (fertility of the floor). And based on the proposed model, an example with real data is given.

Emerging as one of the most important corporate assets, there is evidence that, in some developed countries, the impact of knowledge capital in the GDP now surpasses the fixed capital. This paper uses quantitative data to broadly qualify the impact of the two main building blocks in the knowledge management integration process: information and communication technologies (ICT) and Education. The data analysis suggests that by providing efficient network platforms, knowledge can be captured, transformed and disseminated to individuals, groups and organisations. Investment in ICT seems to enable to connect people and support knowledge sharing and interpersonal interaction and therefore facilitate knowledge management processes and strategies. A case‑study of Portugal is used to illustrate the conclusions drawn.

/ Wetlands Reserve Easements
Loading Tree...
The Wetlands Reserve Easements component of ACEP is a competitive program using statewide ranking systems to fund the most environmentally beneficial projects. Wetlands Reserve Easements allow landowners to voluntarily protect, restore and enhance wetlands while maximizing wildlife benefits.
Land eligible for wetland reserve easements includes farmed or converted wetland that can be successfully and cost-effectively restored. NRCS will prioritize applications based the easement's potential for protecting and enhancing habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife. Your local USDA-NRCS office will help you decide if your land is eligible.
To enroll land through wetland reserve easements, NRCS enters into purchase agreements with eligible private landowners or Indian tribes that include the right for NRCS to develop and implement a wetland reserve restoration easement plan. This plan restores, protects, and enhances the wetland's functions and values.
There are four sign-up options.
For wetland reserve easements, NRCS pays all costs associated with recording the easement in the local land records office, including recording fees, charges for abstracts, survey and appraisal fees, and title insurance.
The following forms are available on the USDA Service Center e-Forms web site:
• Form AD-1153, Application for Long-Term Contracted Assistance
• Form AD-1159, Notice of Intent to Continue

Cambridge (UK) / Nairobi, 2nd November 2012 - Applications are open for a Masters in Conservation Leadership at the University of Cambridge, supported by the UN Environment Programme's World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC).
The course aims to attract students from developing countries and is part of UNEP's ongoing work to promote higher learning on environmental issues.
The environmental challenges facing the world today cannot be overcome with technical capacity alone. They also require innovative and effective leaders who have the capacity to identify solutions and ensure that they are implemented. The Masters in Conservation Leadership aims to develop these advanced leadership skills.
Launched in 2010, this is a full-time, one-year course, targeting graduates of leadership potential with at least three to five years of relevant experience.
The course has two unique features that distinguish it from traditional masters programmes in conservation science.
First, it is delivered by a collaborative partnership of six university departments and nine internationally focused NGOs and networks that together comprise the Cambridge Conservation Initiative. UNEP-WCMC is a key partner in this initiative, and plays a leading role in the delivery of the course.
Second, the course focuses on issues of management and leadership, including material taught by the Cambridge Judge Business School and the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership.
The students taking the Masters in Conservation Leadership are mature, diverse and highly experienced, creating rich opportunities for learning from each other as well as from those teaching the course.
There is a strong focus on students from developing countries, and a small class size that allows for the full involvement of all students in a wide range of activities. The current cohort includes seventeen students from seventeen different countries! As well as academics, those teaching the classes include a wide range of conservation practitioners who teach the skills they apply in their every-day work. In total, over sixty different lecturers contribute to the course.
For their assessed work, students complete a series of taught modules, followed by a four month placement. The modules include academic components spanning the natural and social sciences, including the economic, social and political issues that are crucial to understanding human interactions with the environment. The modules also include more practical, applied components, such as finance and accounting, strategic planning, advocacy, networking and negotiation. The assessed work for the taught component includes practical assignments and group consultancy work. For their placement, students work directly with a conservation organisation on a leadership-oriented project, and complete a 10,000 word report that gives students the chance to put their leadership skills into practice.
To further develop leadership skills, a series of non-assessed events run through the year, and these give students the chance to meet senior conservation leaders in person, to give presentations to a professional audience and to attend seminars with other conservation professionals. Beyond the Masters, strong emphasis is placed on alumni networking. Alumni are now in a range of senior positions within ministries, NGOs and consultancies.
The aims of the Masters in Conservation Leadership are directly in line with UNEP's ambition to strengthen the science policy interface, and responds to the call for capacity building defined by the Bali Action Plan. The course provides an ideal opportunity for UNEP employees who wish to spend a year enhancing their leadership skills, knowledge of cutting-edge conservation issues and first-hand experience of working with diverse conservation organisations. UNEP has a major role in the masters through the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre, which provides a range of lectures and hosts 2-3 placement projects each year. Dr. Chris Sandbrook, the Lecturer in Conservation Leadership who helps to coordinate the masters, works at UNEP-WCMC.
Applications for entry in October 2013 are now open. Scholarship opportunities are available from the University of Cambridge for those applying before December 1st 2012. Further scholarships for students from highly biodiverse and less-developed countries are available for those applying before the overall deadline on 30th March 2013.

- Performance related pay in Australian universities: the case of Swinburne University
- Author(s)
- Harkness, Peter; Schier, Mark
- Abstract
- Performance related pay is not common in Australian universities. A number of Australian universities have begun to show interest in implementing more individualised pay arrangements. Swinburne University of Technology, in Melbourne, has chosen, contrary to the wishes of many of its staff, to be a path-breaker and has introduced a performance related pay scheme. This paper presents a review of the literature pertaining to the effectiveness of performance-related pay, with a particular emphasis on educational organisations. The overall research question guiding the review was to establish the extent to which performance related pay practices have been successful, and in particular, whether or not performance related pay practices are likely to be effective in a higher educational institution. The findings provide very little support for Swinburne's 'Performance, Development and Rewards' scheme. Indeed, it may well be counter productive.

The History of Lucky #13
The latest leaders list is out and for the 2-week period of 2/2-2/15, Phillies Phollowers has been ranked #13 among all MLBlogs! That keeps me in the #1 spot among Phillies fan blogs and assigns to me my favorite number! #13 – awesome. Let us explore…
#13 belongs to my hero, Dan Marino, the greatest passer ever in the game of football. Don't argue – he just is.
And one of the nicest people I have ever met. This is my hair with Dan Marino (the photographer was shot later)…he is cracking up because I made a total *** out of myself the first time we met. Rambled on and on about how much I loved him…he pat me on head afterwards and said, "It's ok…" Yes, he took pity on me. What a nice man!
The next time we met, we actually spoke on a semi-normal, adult-like basis. We chatted about his charity work, his restaurants, his very strange limo driver who would not stop talking to me and some CBS camera guy who kept following me around. The camera guy later tried to hunt me down after Dan left and I actually ran into Central Park (yes, in NYC) to hide from him. There are very few things in Central Park you can hide from, but as it turns out, CBS camera men are one of those things. But I digress…
Marino is a Hall of Famer, a world-class guy and held 22 major NFL records, until Brett Favre decided to break 7 of them. Would he PLEASE retire already? Geez!
And did you know that Dan Marino actually designed the suit that Charlie Manuel wore at the World Series parade? And when he gave it to Charlie, he predicted the Phillies would win the Championship! That was in 2007, so he was 1 year off; but Manuel did get to wear the suit this year! Anyway, I am proud to share the #13 with Marino! Let's see what else we know about #13…
· The age at which you are considered a teenager.
· A bakers' dozen.
· Fear of the #13 is called Triskaidekaphobia.
· Wilt Chamberlain and Shaq have each worn #13.
· Then again, so have Billy Wagner and Turk Wendell.
· There are 13 players on a rugby team.
· The number of original US colonies.
· The seal of the US has 13 olive leaves, 13 arrows, and 13 stars. These form a triangle over the eagle with the number 13 on each point. On the back, the pyramid has 13 levels.
· PG-13 = when kids can legally hear people cuss.
I therefore declare that #13 is a LUCKY number! But if you'd like to bump my blog to a higher number next week, I promise not to complain :O)

So why exactly was the cameraman following you? Sounds like there's another story in there! Congrats on your ranking!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I'm with Sue. The cameraman story is intriguing. Why DID you run into Central Park to hide from him?
Camera guy took a photo for me at one point during my visit to the CBS set and I politely said "thank you" and smiled as any normal person would. Well, he apparantley thought I was interested in him from the "thank you" and kept asking me to "hang-out" with him, which I again, politely declined. Dan and I talked and he left me alone, but after Dan left, he started following me and I got really creeped out. Some very nice lady who works for CBS that I spoke with earlier saw him stalking me and grabbed him aside to distract him and motioned to me to get out of there! So I literally RAN across the street and into Central Park! These are the hazards of being a female traveling alone… :O) But it does make a fun story!
Unfortunately, Marino never won the big prize. Hope number 13 works out better for you, Jenn.
Back in the day, my dad and I always engaged in the great Montana vs Marino debate, with him arguing for Marino against my Championship ring clad Montana. Still, I would have loved to see Marino win the big one….just not when they were playing the 49ers!
Congratulations on lucky #13!

It took prosecutors months to present 131 witnesses to support their claim that former NFL star Aaron Hernandez killed semi-pro player Odin Lloyd. On Monday, the defense took over and rested after calling three witnesses.
The defense's first witness was a Tufts University School of Medicine professor who testified that the drug PCP can cause people to be suddenly violent, even days after smoking it. Defense attorneys also questioned why Hernandez would put his career on the line and attacked what they called sloppy police work.
Hernandez was arrested on murder charges on June 25, 2013, in connection with the death of Odin Lloyd.
Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee, had been partying with Hernandez just before his June 17, 2013, death. The semi-pro football player's body was found by a jogger the next afternoon in an industrial park in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Investigators believe Hernandez's simmering anger over two incidents led him to allegedly kill Lloyd two nights later, sources told CNN. One incident involved Lloyd seeing guns and ammunition, and the other involved a conversation at a nightclub.
Lloyd was picked up in a car said to be driven by Hernandez with two of his associates, taken to an industrial park, shot and killed, according to prosecutors. Those associates, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, are also charged with first-degree murder.
Two hours after Hernandez's arrest, the Patriots dropped him from the team. The team had been signed him to a $40 million contract extension less than a year earlier.
While investigating Lloyd's murder, investigators found evidence they believe ties Hernandez to another murder case, according to CNN.
Investigators allege Hernandez shot and killed Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado on July 16, 2012, because one bumped into him on a nightclub dance floor and spilled his drink. Prosecutors allege Hernandez trailed the men in his SUV after leaving the nightclub and shot them at a stoplight. He has pleaded not guilty in Abreu and Furtado's deaths.
Hernandez has also been accused of shooting a friend, Alexander Bradley, in the face and leaving him for dead in an industrial park in south Florida in February 2013. Prosecutors say Hernandez felt "disrespected" because Bradley challenged him after the football player refused to return to a strip club to retrieve Bradley's cellphone. Bradley is suing Hernandez.
On Aug. 22, 2013 a Bristol County, Massachusetts grand jury officially indicted Hernandez on first-degree murder charges. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty, as have Wallace and Ortiz.
In July 2014, Hernandez's attorneys tried to subpoena his work and medical records from the New England Patriots, including records that "may bear upon (Hernandez') mental state at the time ... of Lloyd's murder." They are also trying to quash a June 18, 2013, search warrant executed at Hernandez' home.
Hernandez's trial for the charges related to Furtado and Abreu's deaths is set for May 2015. A trial date for charges connected to Lloyd's death was expected to be set soon.

Exciting things
Hellooo! Sorry I've been absent of late–I've gotten more busy lately, and also felt a bit uninspired by the series against the Marlins. There were moments of Mets (and Pedro) greatness, but overall I wonder if our boys have lost a bit of their unbelievable fire in the 2nd half. There's no need to worry, I just hope we kick some serious tush post-season.
In the meantime, we've got 2 events to be thrilled and excited about!
Jose Jose Jose Jose! Four years Four years Four years Four years! With an option for five. At a relatively inexpensive $23.25 mil. Everyone's happy! Jose, who we know "bleeds blue and orange" according to D-Wright, will be in New York for a long time to come now. And if he only keeps improving? Then, WOW!
The second event to be excited about is a chance to meet Mookie Wilson in this 20th anniversary year of our last World Series victory. He'll be appearing at the Wall Street Borders store (212-964-1988) on Thursday August 17th at 1:00 PM to sign copies of the 1986 World Series Collectors Edition DVD.
And then, of course, there's my reading at the Time Warner Center Borders at Columbus Circle on Tuesday, August 15th at 7PM. It'll be a ton of fun!

Zoe, think you'll ever write a baseball-themed book? (for example, Stephen King wrote one where the protagonist is a Red Sox fan)
Locking up Reyes was a good move by Omar. Hopefully Wright is on deck.
Nice start by El Duque last night, but more bullpen struggles. All that really matters is they figure out their new roles by October. Here's hoping they do!
Let's Go Mets!
~Eddie @ Willie Ball
If I was there I would've been to your reading… oh well best of luck!🙂
Yeah nice deal with Reyes😉 I hope they get in tune once again with the re-adjusting that is happening…
Mets need to keep it up or else we will be angry with the Way WAGNER has been pitching lately. I am getting a little frustrated with his ineffectiveness to get a 1-2-3 inning for once. It really is getting to me.

Washington, DC - Today, the Department of Energy announced that three manufacturers -- Aspen Manufacturing, Inc., Summit Manufacturing, and Advanced Distributor Products -- must stop distributing 61 heat pump models and 1 air conditioner model that DOE has determined do not comply with federal energy conservation standards. The manufacturers also must notify all of their customers that have been sold noncompliant units. The Department determined that these models were noncompliant based on certification information submitted to DOE for these manufacturers.
"Today's action makes clear that the Department of Energy will take the necessary steps to ensure consumers have access to products that meet the federal standards for energy efficiency," said Department of Energy General Counsel Scott Blake Harris. "As a part of this Administration's commitment to energy efficiency, we will continue to rigorously enforce the Department's energy efficiency requirements that save money for consumers and reduce unnecessary energy use."
DOE discovered that Aspen Manufacturing had certified 58 air conditioning heat pumps models and 1 air conditioner model that fail to meet federal energy efficiency standards by up to 7 percent. DOE also found 1 air conditioning heat pump model manufactured by Summit Manufacturing that failed the energy use standards by about 16 percent and 2 heat pump models manufactured by Advanced Distributor Products that missed the standard by 1-2 percent. If these companies fail to respond or to notify their customers, the Department of Energy will seek a judicial order to prevent the sale of the noncompliant models.
Under federal law, manufacturers of certain products covered by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act must certify with the Department that their models meet the applicable minimum energy conservation standards. These certification reports provide DOE with information critical to determining that American consumers are buying products that abide by DOE's regulations and deliver significant energy and cost savings.

September 4, 2013 —
The former DeBruce Labor Day Parade transitioned seamlessly to Livingston Manor on Sunday, September 1, featuring the parade lineup, vendors and entertainment that have made this end-of-summer event a popular area attraction for over 20 years.
Entertainment in Renaissance Park kicked off at 11 a.m. with Steve Levine and his banjo, and then took a breather for the "Reading, Rolling & Rhythm" parade at 12 noon. Headed up by grand marshal Lee Siegel, who was escorted by Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, the parade also included Sullivan County Legislator Kitty Vetter, the Liberty Train Club, The MountainTones Marching Band, the Hubba Hubba Book Club and dozens of antique and classic cars provided by the Any Model-Any Make and Catskill Regional Antique Auto Clubs.
After the parade, several of the antique cars were on display at the entrance to Renaissance Park.
Inside the park, the entertainment continued with the Americana band Little Sparrow, LightEXPO Hula Hoops, country music with Somerville and Spanish dancing with Lorena.
Also in Renaissance Park were kids' crafts and hula hoop fun for the kiddies; Manor Ink, a very successful newspaper run by area youth; Native American crafts and Native American storyteller Jim Red Fox; children's author Clara Gillow Clark; face painting; food; and a giant book sale for the adults and children.
As in the past three years, the festival benefitted the Livingston Manor Free Library.

Capital City eyes going solar
MONTPELIER — It's too early to break into a chorus of "Good Day Sunshine" but city councilors this week moved a step closer, approving the issue of a formal Request for Information to explore building a privately developed solar array on a yet-to-be-determined piece of municipal property.
If all goes as outlined by council member Anne Watson, the array could be built at no net cost to the city.
"I've read the material and it sounds fantastic," said councilor Tom Golonka. "It's almost too good to be true."
The project could be funded by the developer through a combination of tax incentives, grants, and possible 3rd or 4th party funding according to a draft of a request for proposal that is posted on the city's website. The array would be hooked up directly to Green Mountain Power's grid and the city would receive stable electric rates negotiated with the successful developer. Rates terms could be negotiated for as long as ten or twenty years, with the option for the city to purchase the array at the end of the contract.
"I think that we are looking at doing one installation at first and if that works maybe we would do it again," City Manager Bill Fraser said.
Dan Jones, chairman of the city's energy committee, who was not in attendance at Wednesday night's meeting, said he would encourage the city to explore building several different arrays.
"The city gets a predictable future energy cost and the bill for the city will be well below the cost from the utilities, so the more we have the more we save," he said.
Among the potential sites mentioned for the array are municipal land adjacent to the city wastewater treatment plant, and land near Berlin Pond. In order for the array to be effective it must be sited will be sited to gain optimum sunlight and heat.
The city would need several acres to install a 150 kilowatt (kw) array and as many as seven or eight acres for a 500kw array. A 150kw array produces 150 killowats per hour on a bright sunny day, while per hour production in the cloud-covered months of winter could drop below 50 percent. Both solar power production and electricity demands on the grid are generally highest during sunny summer months. It is too soon to determine the eventual savings such an array would produce, but they would definitely help to bring down costs substantially over time.

Withholding information
Month after month, residents who have attended Town of Callicoon public meetings have run head-on into a supervisor and a town attorney who seem determined to withhold even the most basic information from the public. Residents have been misled about the correspondence sent to the town, and stunned to find out that an important "public" meeting had been held practically in secret.
But the latest episode is almost comical. According to the agenda for the town's most recent meeting, the public was given "Open Floor Time" to comment on the business before the board, including two proposed resolutions. But here's the catch. While the public was permitted to comment on the resolutions, they weren't told what they said. The resolutions hadn't been posted on the town website; printed copies were not made available at the meeting; and the supervisor refused to read them aloud.
Town residents are not children. Public information is not precious candy to be doled out as our supervisor sees fit. It is the duty of the supervisor, the town attorney and the board to make public information readily available to the public.

Six Things to consider before buying a Pellet Grill
Youâve been thinking about it again, havenât you? You can almost smell it now, that savory scent of smoked meats wafting through the air. You can almost taste the unparalleled flavor of smoked ribs, brisket, beef, chicken, and more. Just thinking about it all makes your mouth water. Finally, you settle on the matter. You have to upgrade your grill to something that delivers more flavor and versatility. Youâve decided you have to have a pellet grill. But before you rush online or over to your nearest retailer, there are plenty of important details to consider when searching for the right pellet grill. With this in mind, read on to learn what you should look for and why.
Why a Pellet Grill?
Perhaps you havenât quite reached the point outlined in the hypothetical scenario above. Maybe youâre considering a pellet grill for the first time, or maybe youâve heard your friends or colleagues talking about them and youâve decided to research the matter yourself. Great, thatâs why weâre starting this article by answering this important question: why are pellet grills such a great choice for barbequing? Whether you know the answer already or not, this brief buyerâs guide will both create and reinforce a decision to invest in pellet grilling, and it will go over all the matters you need to consider when searching for the right pellet grill.
For starters, pellet grills are fueled by burning small compressed pellets of real wood, and are perhaps the single best barbequing option for the backyard barbeque fan. Itâs important that you choose pellets wisely to keep ash off the food and save money. Read more about premium pellets in our article âTaste the Premium Wood Pellet Differenceâ. Pellet grills are better than traditional grills for three distinct reasons, and those reasons are: flavor, ease-of-use, and versatility. Together these characteristics make a pellet grill an exceptional investment in your barbequing future. Thereâs no replacement for or equal to the flavor of smoked meats, and this is something easily accommodated with a pellet grill. If you think the only way to produce quality, smoked meats is by using a large and elaborate stick (log) burning grill like the pros use, think again.
A pellet grill produces the same, great, smoked flavor as the large, aforementioned alternative, and it does so with far less hassle, which brings us to the next selling point: ease-of-use. You see, if youâre going to smoke meats with a large and expensive stick burner, then you better be well versed in what youâre doing, and you better be ready to devote a lot of time to monitoring your cooking. With traditional smokers and stick burners, you have to truly monitor the entire process in order ensure that your smoker remains within the proper temperature range. Whatâs more, you have to know how to change the temperature when it begins to fluctuate, when to add another log, adjust air flow, etc. Learning this art takes a lot of time, and perfecting it takes even longer.
-Ease of Use-Â
With a pellet grill, however, you can forget about having to deal with any of that. Pellet grills work with the push of a button and the dial of a knob. And thatâs no exaggeration. Push-button ignition lights the flame thatâll keep your pellets burning, and arrows or knobs are used to adjust the temperature setting. The right kind of pellet grill is extremely accurate with its temperatures too. Variances in your set temperature are likely to be as little as 10 degrees, give or take. In addition to being easier to use than a stick burner, pellet grills are also much easier to manage than your common charcoal grill. Make no mistake, your average stick burner or charcoal grill does offer great, smoky flavor to whatever your smoking/grilling, but it all comes at the cost of long hours monitoring and tweaking the flame and temperature, not to mention it makes for a considerable amount of cleanup too.
Imagine all the flavor of traditional smoking or charcoal grilling without the hassle associated with either, and youâve just imagined what a pellet grill offers. Itâs the cheat mode of grilling. Pellet grills come with all the convenience of gas grilling, without the need to store or refill on propane, and all the flavor of traditional smokers. Subsequently, they also offer far more versatility than traditional smokers, charcoal, or gas grills. Gas grills, for example, are fine for cooking hot dogs, burgers, and steaks (albeit they still lack the flavor of real wood barbeques) but if youâve ever wanted to cook something bigger, like a whole chicken, your gas grill isnât going to cut it. This is often the same case with charcoal grills, except that they add great flavor. Conversely, a stick burning smoker isnât something youâd ever use for cooking a few burgers or chicken thighs. Pellet grills, on the other hand, can handle both smoking and grilling jobs. Whether you want to slow cook/smoke your meats, or you want to quickly grill up some patties or chicken drums, a pellet grill is a convenient answer. Whichever option you go with, you get savory, real-wood flavor. With all the different pellet options available, you can cook with convenience and variety, from hickory to Applewood, pecan, classic alder, and more.
What to Look for in a Pellet Grill
Now that itâs apparent why pellet grills are so great to use in your barbequing, itâs equally important to know what to look for in a pellet grill. Consideration of the subject begs to question: are all pellet grills created equal? The answer: no, they arenât. As is the case with just about everything, there are varying levels of quality and features from one pellet grill to the next, and itâs important to know why quality is a must and what features are necessary for a grill to be a great pellet grill.
Speaking on the subject of quality, itâs worth mentioning that quality is always important. Some grills may look real pretty on the outside, but on the inside, they lack the same attention to detail. Sometimes, a grill will be constructed of high grade stainless steel externally while its guts are made of lower-grade metals. This is problematic not for aesthetic reason, but for functionality and longevity. In other words, if the heart and soul of your grill isnât made well, youâll burn through it over time, literally.
-Functionality and Efficiency-
As far as functionality is concerned, you want a unit that is well built, with efficiency in mind. Thereâs a fine balance to strike between encasing a grill (particularly the burn pot) in a sufficient wall of steel verses a grill thatâs made bomb proof. If the grill casing is too thin, then it wonât retain heat as well, and as a result, youâll burn through more pellets, especially in colder temperatures. On the other hand, you can overdo it. A super thick-walled grill (a.k.a. bomb proof) will be too heavy to move around because of the shear weight. If you look at a traditional, industrial-grade smoker, youâll find that the walls are rather thick, and thatâs a necessary thing, in order to regulate temperature. However, since a pellet grill has an internal computer regulating temperature, additional thickness isnât needed.
If you want to take efficiency to an even higher level you can wrap your grill friend in a blanket that will keep her warm year round. That can reduce pellet consumption by up to 50% during the winter months, and save you money year round. Donât worry, the blanket is built to handle the heat.
-Precise Temperature Control-
Speaking of temperature-regulating computers, we come to our next point; and thatâs temperature controlâ¦precise temperature control to be specific. When shopping for a pellet grill, temperature control is a necessity; else you lose the convenience that comes with using a pellet grill. Thereâs more than one way to approach temperature control, but the commonality among high quality grills is the use of computer-regulated temperature control. Not all manufacturers have durable control units so check out the reviews before buying! Whether itâs PID (proportional, integral, derivative) temperature control or some other equivalent, the name of the game is precision. Fluctuations should be within 10°F, give or take. This mean you want to steer away from grills that boast of heat zones. Heat zones are nothing to boast about. It simply means that the grill is incapable of maintaining a fairly narrow temperature range and instead can only maintain temperature within a broad âzone.â Youâll also want to avoid pellet grills that use baffles or any other manual form of air flow for temperature regulating purposes.
-Fuel Containment and Cooking Surface-Â
For a pellet grill, your fuel is pellets, which is great for all the reasons mentioned in the beginning of this article. Being that your fuel is pellets, youâll want to make sure the pellet grill of your choice has a containment unit (known as a hopper) that is large enough to hold the amount of pellets youâll need. A good size hopper, somewhat of the standard among good pellet grills, is 18 lbs. With an 18 pound hopper, you can cook for a long time, enough for the long slow-cook times associated with smoking your meats. But if you have a hopper much smaller than this, youâll have to refill with pellets more often. Another important quality to any grill is the cooking surface. First off, you want a cooking surface that is made of high-quality metal, as already mentioned. But you also want a cooking surface that is sufficiently large for the amount of cooking youâre going to want to do. Camp Chef pellet grills come in a range of sizes, from 429 sq. inches to 875 sq. inches. So whether youâre going to do small amounts or large amounts of smoking and grilling, we have an option for you. Another important thing to consider is looking for a pellet grill with convection style circulation. All Camp Chef Smokepro pellet grills come standard with a continuous convection fan that significantly reduces natural hot spots typical of grills in the marketplace. Think of it as cheat mode. You donât have to figure out where to place your meat since the temperature is very close no matter where you place it on the grill grates.
⢠Sear box â The nature of pellet grills make it challenging to get a crisp sear so look into the max temperature, and add-on accessories that give you the ability to sear at high heat. Camp Chef makes a sear box accessory that sears meat at up to 900°F. No pellet grill on the market has a sear that can be compared with the sear produced on Camp Chefâs sear box. The beauty is that you can sear at 900°F, then cook at any temp between 160°F and 500°F. ⢠Patio Cover â Keep your grill and pellets dry the next time it rains with the SmokePro canvas patio cover. ⢠Add-on Racks â Smoke jerky, produce massive amounts of bacon, and quadruple your cooking space on these simple to install racks ⢠SmokePro Insulation Blanket â Trap the heat in with a fireproof blanket and save on pellets
-Easy Cleanup-
Another very nice feature of pellet grills is their extreme burn efficiency. This is due to the nature of the fuel used to produce the burn. Pellets actually burn far more efficiently than charcoal, and even more efficiently than logs. This means they produce a lot less waste. If youâve ever used a charcoal grill, then you know that theyâre a mess to clean up. The ash box fills quickly and often, requiring frequently cleaning. Real wood burning leaves a lot of char too, and if youâre using a log burner, then youâll have substantial amounts of clean up to do. Hereâs the beauty of burning pellets though. Because the pellets are compressed wood, theyâre quite a bit denser than real wood. Because theyâre denser, they burn through easier and produce a lot less ash. Camp Chef pellet grills are by far the cleanest burning, real-wood grills available. So youâll be cleaning out your ash box a whole lot less. As mentioned earlier, it may be only once a year. Whatever the frequency is, youâll want to get a grill that accommodates very easy cleanup. For example, Camp Chef pellet grills come with a patented Ash Can Cleanout System that is so simple and easy to clean that it becomes a matter of simply detaching a can and dumping it in the garbage. Itâs a big ash deal. Whatâs more, Camp Chef pellet grills have the added feature of a hopper cleanout and purge system too.
Conclusion and Recap
After everything weâve mentioned here, you can see that there is a lot to consider when shopping for a pellet grill. We hope you feel a bit like an expert in pellet grills after reading through this, but for the sake of a brief recap letâs visit the qualifiers of a good pellet grill one more time, in a quick list. Remember, the advantages of a pellet grill are: ⢠Flavor Delivery â nothing can replace that savory smoke flavor. ⢠Ease of Use â getting that smoky flavor the traditional way is difficult and messy, but with a pellet grill, itâs never been easier or cleaner. ⢠Versatility â Charcoal grills are messy, and stick burners are only for really big jobs. The pellet grill, however, can cook your small quantities and large smoke jobs, from burgers and dogs to whole turkeys. Remember, when buying a pellet grill, youâre looking for: ⢠High Quality Construction â you want something built to last, but you donât want a pellet grill built like a stick burner. ⢠Functionality and Efficiency â you want a grill that isnât going to go through pellets like thereâs no tomorrow. ⢠Precise Temperature Control â temperature control is so important; you want to set and forget. Set the temperature and walk way without babysitting, thatâs how easy it should be. ⢠Fuel Containment and Cooking Surface â you need a hopper thatâs big enough (around 18 lbs.) and a cooking surface that can handle your plans. ⢠Easy Cleanup â you donât want a grill thatâs high maintenance and takes a lot of work to clean. Now that you know what to look for in a pellet grill take a moment to consider the quality pellet grills we produce here at Camp Chef. We know youâll love what you find.
