Should You Activate, Modify, or Upgrade Your Existing Security System?

20 Aug 2019

Moving into a new house is an exciting time as you get to know a new space that feels and breathes differently. Somewhere within all that excitement hides a serious question: What should you do with the existing home security system at the house?

When you purchase a new property and decide that you want to bring the existing alarm system into the 21st century, swapping out the house’s old equipment for the latest and greatest is the best way forward in many cases. This way, you get to design the system for your needs and do what you feel is required to keep your new property and its inhabitants safe.

But that’s not the only option available for new homeowners. When you move into a house with an existing security system, you can:

  • Leave the existing security system as-is and reconnect it with a monitoring service
  • Modernize the existing alarm system through hardware and/or software
  • Discard the existing system and upgrade to up-to-date technology that can better accommodate cameras and home automation

Let’s explore the pros and cons of each option so you can discover how to make your home secure and keep your loved ones safe in your new home.

Reconnecting Your Existing Security System

If the property you just bought comes with an existing inactive security system, you may wonder whether you can re-use any of that equipment and just update the keypad.

It doesn't matter if your existing system is a home security system or a business security system, the principle remains the same.

The answer depends on a number of factors—most importantly on the manufacturer and age of the security system in question. Legacy security systems are commonplace in all sorts of properties. These systems aren't necessarily bad; their age just means you can't expect much from them.

Your current system may be restricted by outdated technology with limited capabilities and upgrade options. Or the previous owner may have had different security standards than you do.

Additionally, many older security systems use landlines to send alarms and notifications. That makes them vulnerable to intruders who can cut through a few wires to render the alarm useless.

However, if the house’s existing security system is up-to-date, you can use it as-is and reconnect it to a monitoring service. Sometimes, sticking with your existing system is a better option. Homes with complex systems that have many zones on them can be expensive to replace.

In general, we do NOT recommend replacing security systems that have to-code fire systems tied into them as this is a far more complex and expensive process. Talk to a local security provider and ask them to walk you through your options and the costs and benefits of each.

But depending on the existing system in question, you may be looking at limited security that doesn't meet modern safety standards. That’s when you should consider the other two options: updating the existing security system or installing a completely new system.

Updating the Existing Security System

If using your new house’s existing system in its current state isn’t a good option for you, you can likely upgrade it for a relatively low upfront cost.

When working with outdated technology, your options are limited. Older home security systems have only a few upgrade paths to choose from, if any.

Even updating hardware can cause problems. Some older home security systems simply weren't designed to fit the needs of today’s homeowners.

If you’re considering updating your new home’s existing security system, call a local security provider and ask them about what improvements are available for your system. Once they know the brand and model of the equipment in your home, they can lay out the upgrade options available and give you a professional recommendation.

For example, landline-reliant systems are neither burglar-proof nor future-proof, so if your new home has one of these systems, consider updating it. Updating these systems is doable with the help of a local security provider: We offer cellular modules that can completely eliminate the need for a landline.

Getting Rid of Your Home’s Old Security System and Installing a Brand New One

Your last—and often best—option is to remove your new house’s existing system altogether and replace it with new technology. Although new equipment comes with an upfront cost, it will be much cheaper than hanging on to the old system and calling technicians to fix it every time something goes wrong.

New homeowners often don’t realize that older systems weren’t designed for longevity, and in many instances, people with older systems experience more frequent errors or even abrupt equipment failure.

You may be surprised to hear that systems installed in the early 2000s are likely reaching the end of their operative lifespan, and performing maintenance on an older system can be much more expensive because of the expertise required to service those systems.

For customers who are still using older technology, we suggest opting for safer, newer technology that will be less of a hassle to deal with long term. The latest wireless technology is designed to function reliably for decades, and maintenance is usually simple enough for you to do it yourself with help from a member of our support team.

honeywell-lyric-systemAnother benefit of updating your system is getting all of the latest features of wireless technology. Even though wired systems are still better for huge properties like warehouses, wireless systems are likely sufficient for all but the largest homes.

Aside from looking sleek and modern with its touchscreen panel, wireless home security systems are much easier to upgrade, and sourcing the parts is easy, lowering the cost of upgrading. Our security systems are compatible with a variety of add-ons like smart locks, thermostats, and smart lighting, all of which can be controlled through your smartphone.

While new systems are the ideal solution for many homeowners, explore all of your options to make sure doing so is cost-effective and that the benefits of wireless security are applicable to your needs.

Deciding whether to keep, modify, or completely upgrade your new home’s existing security system comes down to what you want your system to do for you.

Ad Feature: Dust-control firm takes off-road marketing opportunity

Anyone who has driven on a rural road or worked in remote areas where oil, mining, forestry or other development is occurring knows dealing with dust and unstable soils can be annoying — and it can also be a never-ending and costly task.

Winnipeg-based Cypher Environmental, run by 34-year-old entrepreneur Todd Burns, has perfected an eco-friendly way to virtually eliminate that dust and to stabilize soils in areas like mine sites, where heavy truck traffic is a constant — and expensive — irritant.

And, by the way, it has also developed a technology that utilizes bacteria and enzymes for wastewater remediation, potentially a multi-million-dollar market.

Related Articles

Cypher’s business motto, “Driven by Innovation – Partners in Performance,” captures the fast-growing company’s raison d’être.

But, as is the case with most successful companies, it took leadership to bring that motto and vision to reality.

Burns, who has traveled to more than 40 countries to promote and market Cypher’s suite of environmentally-friendly technologies, was a 2001 graduate of Winnipeg’s Red River College when he saw the potential of a technology his late father had discovered. He had also later studied environmental science at the University of Manitoba.

“The (dust-suppression) technology business operated out of my dad’s basement,” he said. “We used to have the product made in China and were practicing absentee management. I brought the control of the manufacture of the product to Winnipeg, which allowed us to focus on our products.”

And the rest, as they say, is history.

While the firm only has a handful of direct employees now in Winnipeg, most are engineers and technologists who are dedicated to product enhancement and development, its tentacles reach out much more than that. With dozens of distributors worldwide and with a reliance on its own manufacturing capabilities, Burns says the company’s footprint is much larger.

“Indirectly we employ hundreds of people around the world,” said Burns.

And, as sales of Cypher’s products climbs into the millions of dollars annually, it continues to expand its Winnipeg head office staff, with plans to hire more engineering technicians and another business development manager this year.

Burns says it was all about taking good ideas and hiring technical staff, such as engineers and scientists, who could generate the data to illustrate to customers just how beneficial its technologies are.

From that nucleus the company has expanded its expertise in the areas of dust-suppression, road-stabilization and water-treatment products, all multi-million-dollar markets worldwide. All of its products are 100 per cent environmentally-friendly and are organic, biodegradable and non-toxic.

One of its initial core products, Dust Stop, is benefitting from a $65,000 federal applied research and development grant, aimed at enhancing its already impressive value proposition.

Its other products, EarthZyme and UltraZyme, have also benefitted from large investments in research and development

Dust Stop, one of the firm’s legacy products, can bring with it not only significant environmental benefits but major cost savings, which is a characteristic of all of Cypher’s products.

Burns has little problem describing the benefits of the product.

“On a mining site, for example, you see five large water trucks, having to constantly spray water on access roads throughout the day,” he said, adding that this often involves the spraying of millions of litres of water daily.

“You can imagine the GHGs (greenhouse gases) being generated by those trucks, as well as the amount of fuel the trucks burn. But Dust Stop only needs to be reapplied every six months to a year. The cost savings are huge because you’re not having to do that amount of regular road maintenance.”

In addition, GHG emissions and other environmental benefits are significant. This is even more the case because, in addition to using large volumes of water to control dust, road crews, especially on mining sites, often use calcium chloride and magnesium chloride to prevent dust, both of which are highly caustic and corrosive.

There’s an obvious time savings as well, with traffic to the site not being disrupted so often.

“Rain is often a problem with unpaved roads (with conventional watering techniques),” he said. “With our product, that is not a problem.”

Dust Stop, which is in use worldwide, is a proven product, with municipal governments, miners and other resource producers and others having made it one of the firm’s most widely used solutions.

EarthZyme, another of the firm’s widely used products, is ideal for the clay-based soils that are common in Canada and worldwide. It’s a non-toxic, enzyme-based soil stabilizer, used extensively in remote locations like mining sites.

With just one application, EarthZyme can help significantly reduce road maintenance costs by increasing the road’s compaction and strength. It’s ideal for areas with extreme climates.

“It’s all about cost savings and reducing the environmental impact of your operations,” said Burns. “Now mine and other operators have to haul out the clay and bring in aggregates to stabilize their roads. Imagine the fuel being burned and the GHGs generated. With EarthZyme we give you the in situ ability to deal with that problem.”

In many cases, EarthZyme and Dust Stop are both used on a worksite.

Cypher customer Syncrude Canada applied EarthZyme on mine haul roads at its oilsands plant site in northern Alberta. A follow-up study found that rolling resistance, a common problem on roads used by large haul trucks, was reduced dramatically and fuel costs were reduced by as much as 90 per cent.

Engineers on his staff continue to work on enhancements of the products.

“We’re constantly working to develop new technologies and to develop new applications for the products we have,” said Burns.

Cypher’s newest product, UltraZyme, has it entering a new and mammoth market worldwide.

UltraZyme is a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly product used for effluent treatment.

“UltraZyme is based on a mixture of bacteria and enzymes to treat wastewater,” he said. “We have used the product at a banana plantation for a customer in Costa Rica and they were able to recycle 80 per cent of the water they were using (to clean the fruit), which led to significant cost savings.”

In lagoons or wastewater treatment plants UltraZyme works by speeding up the digestion of organics.

It has been tested with soil-based oil spills as well. “It eats up the oil,” he said.

Burns said the company is working now with researchers at the University of Alberta to test its effectiveness in remediating oilsands tailings, which presents a huge environmental challenge for oilsands miners.

Cypher is also advancing its work using UltraZyme on high nitrogen-content water.

“We’re targeting high algae-content water,” he said. “We see that application as ideal for zoos, small lagoons and commercial fish farms.”

Because of the drop in commodity prices, sales of Dust Stop and EarthZyme to the mining and oil industry were lagging for a time, but he said the company emphasized the cost-savings that could be realized by use of the products, which has resonated with those involved in those industries.

Meanwhile, it continues to develop other products and applications, such as the use of EarthZyme in other applications in the municipal sector, where it sees a large opportunity.

While the young executive continues to spend more time in airplanes than he would like to, considering he has a young family, he credits World Trade Centre Winnipeg and, in particular, the Centrallia event, which attracts entrepreneurs and trade officials from over 30 countries to the city, with helping his firm market internationally.

“We are really excited about Centrallia because we do so many international sales,” he said. “It has been a big help to us.”

His firm, which has participated in past Centrallia events, will be an enthusiastic participant this upcoming May 25-27, when Centrallia is held at the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg.

Billed as the equivalent of a “speed-dating opportunity” for small and mid-sized businesses, he said it gives his company the opportunity to meet one-on-one with businesspeople from throughout the world. In the past, the event, which is held every two years, has produced leads that later led to sales opportunities for Cypher, he said.

This year, in recognition of the young executive’s expertise in tapping international markets, he will be a member of the panel discussing opportunities in the Americas.

Centrallia gives Manitoba-based businesses, as well as other Canadian companies, a grasp of the opportunities that lie outside of their provinces and Canada — something Cypher has certainly realized.

U.S. hopes to release TPP text in 30 days

Reuters — The U.S. administration hopes to release the full text of a Pacific trade deal within the next 30 days, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman said in an interview with CNN.

The U.S. sealed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) with 11 trading partners this week, after more than five years of negotiations.

“The lawyers are working right now to finalize the text and to prepare it for release. We hope to get it out within the next 30 days,” Froman said in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, to be broadcast on Sunday, according to a transcript.

Under a timetable laid out by the U.S. Congress, the text of any trade deal should be made public 30 days after the administration notifies Congress that it intends to sign it. President Barack Obama can sign the deal 60 days after the text is made public.

Froman also brushed off criticism of the TPP, a central plank of the administration’s pivot to Asia, by U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Clinton, who backed the developing trade pact when she was secretary of state during Obama’s first term, said on Wednesday: “The bar here is very high and, based on what I have seen, I don’t believe the agreement has met it.”

Froman said he did not want to comment on presidential politics but said the deal was of a “very high standard.”

“I’m convinced as the people sit down and take the time to go through it in detail, that they’ll come to a positive judgment,” he said.

‘Couldn’t Believe What I Was Hearing’: White House Aides Testify in Impeachment Probe

avatar by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff

Jennifer Williams, a special adviser to Vice President Mike Pence for European and Russian affairs and Alexander Vindman, director for European Affairs at the National Security Council, are sworn in to testify before a House Intelligence Committee hearing as part of the impeachment inquiry into US President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, Nov. 19, 2019.

Senior US officials told impeachment investigators in Congress on Tuesday they were concerned by President Donald Trump’s effort to get Ukraine to investigate a political rival, with one White House official calling it a “shock.”

The third day of impeachment hearings conducted by the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee marked the first time that officials from inside the White House publicly expressed their misgivings about a freewheeling pressure campaign that now threatens Trump’s presidency.

The White House’s top Ukraine expert, wearing his Army dress uniform, said Trump had made an “improper” demand of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in a July 25 phone call that has become the centerpiece of the Democratic-led impeachment probe of the Republican president.

“Frankly, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It was probably an element of shock that maybe, in certain regards, my worst fear of how our Ukrainian policy could play out was playing out,” Army Lieutenant Colonel Alex Vindman said.

Banned Anti-Zionist Student Group at Fordham University Will Appeal Ruling to Highest Court in New York State

Students at Fordham University are appealing a December court ruling that allowed the school to ban the anti-Zionist group Students...

As he was testifying, the White House’s official Twitter account attacked his judgment — undermining the same man the administration appointed to lead its European affairs brief at the National Security Council.

Two other senior White House aides, Jennifer Williams and Tim Morrison, also said during Tuesday’s hearings, which spanned 11-1/2 hours, that they were concerned by the political nature of that phone call.

Williams told the hearing that Trump’s call with Zelenskiy was unusual and inappropriate because “it involved discussion of what appeared to be a domestic political matter.”

Morrison said he did not see anything improper in the call but was concerned that its contents could leak, hurting bipartisan support for Ukraine. “I wanted access to be restricted,” he said.

During that call, Trump asked Zelenskiy to carry out two investigations that would benefit him politically, including one targeting Joe Biden, the former vice president who is a leading Democratic presidential contender to face Trump in next year’s election, and his son Hunter Biden.

The other involved a debunked conspiracy theory embraced by some Trump allies that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 U.S. election.

Kurt Volker, a former US envoy to Ukraine, said he believed those two concerns were “conspiracy theories.” He added that allegations of corruption involving Biden and his son, who was a director of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, were “not credible.”

Trump has said his call with Zelenskiy was “perfect,” while Republican lawmakers criticize the impeachment process as unfair.

“What’s going on is a disgrace, and it’s an embarrassment to our nation,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. “It’s a big scam.”

Republican US Representative Francis Rooney told reporters: I don’t think there’s been a crime proven yet. … But I want to see what happens. There’s still a lot of water to go down this creek.”

Missed connection

Ahead of the July call, Trump had frozen $391 million in US security aid approved by Congress to help Ukraine combat Russia-backed separatists in the eastern part of the country.

Volker testified that Trump described Ukraine as “a corrupt country, full of terrible people.”

“He said they ‘tried to take me down,'” Volker added.

Volker said he did not know that a request to tackle corruption in Ukraine and investigate Burisma, a natural gas company, was effectively a request to investigate Biden.

“In retrospect, I should have seen that connection differently, and had I done so, I would have raised my own objections,” he said.

Volker’s testimony conflicted in some aspects with an earlier account he gave to lawmakers.

In closed-door testimony in October, Volker said he had not heard any references to investigations during a July 10 White House meeting between US and Ukrainian officials.

On Tuesday, he said Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the European Union, made a “generic” comment about investigations that everyone regarded as inappropriate.

‘Character attacks’

Trump has attacked both Williams and Vindman on Twitter as “Never Trump” witnesses, a term he uses to describe Republicans who oppose him.

Democratic Representative Jim Himes asked Vindman: “Lieutenant Colonel, would you call yourself a Never Trumper?”

“I’d call myself never partisan,” Vindman replied.

The president’s son Donald Trump Jr. assailed him in a Twitter post as “a low level partisan bureaucrat and nothing more.”

Vindman, whose family fled the Soviet Union four decades ago when he was 3 years old and settled in the United States, told lawmakers that “character attacks” against public servants testifying in the impeachment inquiry were “reprehensible.”

A US official said Vindman and his family might be moved to a military base because of security threats.

Vindman said he was not worried that he would suffer reprisals for speaking out.

“This is a country I have served and defended, that all of my brothers have served – and here, right matters,” he said, drawing applause.

The investigation could lead the House to approve formal charges against Trump — called articles of impeachment — that would be sent to the Republican-controlled Senate for a trial on whether to remove him from office. Few Republican senators have broken with Trump.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday it was “inconceivable” that two-thirds of the Republican-controlled chamber would vote to convict Trump.

According to Reuters/Ipsos polling, 46 percent of Americans support impeachment, while 41 percent oppose it.

Last Friday’s testimony attracted an average audience of 12.9 million viewers across seven US television networks that aired lived coverage, according to data from the Nielsen ratings agency, down slightly from the audience on the first day. The numbers did not include people who streamed the event on phones or computers or followed the proceedings via social media.

Kamado is no ordinary grill. From looks to materials to versatility, it does everything your grill does, and then some. Baking, smoking, grilling, you name it. It became quite popular in recent years, but the origin goes way back.

Quick Navigation

The kamado design originates in Japan (such as the hibachi grill), over 3,000 years ago. The ceramic vessel was used for cooking rice at first, but it actually has many other applications. Nowadays, it’s one of the most versatile pieces of cooking equipment you might get. If you’ve set your mind on buying one of those, but don’t know what to look for, this is the guide for you. We’ve gone over all the important features a kamado grill should have, and picked the best options on the market.

Our Pick

Kamado Joe KJ23RHC Classic II Charcoal Grill, 18 inch, Blaze Red
Our rating:

Kamado Joe grills have a unique, red ceramic design that stands out in every backyard. These grills are costly, but worth every penny. Classic II is their most popular model, and 18 inches of the cooking surface parameter is the perfect size for an everyday grill. It’s egg-shaped, like other kamado grills, but its features make it stand out from the crowd.

The model comes with a Divide & Conquer rack system. It has stainless steel grates that are half-moon shaped, and you can place them on two different rack levels. This means you can cook different food at a different temperature at the same time. If you need an indirect heat zone, you can place a diffuser stone on the bottom level. Underneath the grates, there’s an accessory rack, where you can put the water pan when you’re smoking food. Furthermore, you can place the accessory rack at the top, thus creating a baking setup. What’s better than a grill that can also make pizza?

This grill has a multi-paneled ceramic firebox, which is great at holding the heat, so you don’t need to add a lot of charcoal to keep the temperature at the desired level. The bottom part of the firebox is a removable, perforated charcoal grate. Underneath, there’s a stainless steel ash tray. The model also comes with a firebox divider, so if needed, you can pack charcoal and grill on only one side.

Another unique Kamado Joe feature is the air-lift hinge. Ceramic lids are heavy, but not this one. The hinge reduces the lid weight by 96% -you can lift it with a finger! For a tight seal, there’s a self-activating latch.

This grill has side shelves and a cart. Plus, there are multiple accessories you can purchase individually like a pizza stone or a griddle. Basically, you’ve got everything you need.

Char-Griller E56720 AKORN Kamado Charcoal Grill, Pack of 1, Blue
Our rating:

Not all kamado grills have to cost a whole month’s salary. This Char-Griller model proves that. It’s not ceramic, but it’s premium quality at an affordable price.

This model has a steel body, and the interior part is porcelain-coated. It’s triple-walled, well insulated and maintains the temperature from 200 to 700 degrees Fahrenheit. The grill features 314 square inches of cast iron cooking area, and there’s also a removable warming rack of 133 square inches. That’s enough to make 27 burgers at a time.

The middle part of the grid is removable, which allows you to add coal. It’s a bit inconvenient to use when the food is on the grid, but the grill holds the temperature long enough so you probably won’t have to do it in the midst of cooking. The bottom part features a removable ash pan, which makes the cleanup an easy task.

The grill comes with two side-shelves, which you can fold when not needed. On each shelf, you have several utensil hooks which are always a nice addition. The cart has large 8-inch locking caster wheels for easier mobility. Below the grill, there’s a bottom shelf, perfect for storing charcoal bags.

Adjustable dampers are located on top and bottom part of the grill, and they help with precise temperature control. There’s also a built-in thermometer on the lid, but those things aren’t very reliable. Besides that, this grill has a lot to offer for a modest price.

Char-Griller E56720 AKORN Kamado Charcoal Grill, Pack of 1, Blue
  • 314 Square inches of primary cooking space, warming rack 133 Square inches for a total of 447 Square inches

Kamado Joe KJ23RHCI-A, Classic Joe III Charcoal Grill
Our rating:

You might be thinking – why is there another, upgraded version of the same model on this list? Furthermore, why is that not the top pick? Well, although Classic III comes with more features, they are all situational. And since this model costs about half the price of a Classic II, it really depends on what features you really need and how much you want to pay for a grill.

Classic Joe III comes with all the features as its predecessor, and a few upgrades. The Divide & Conquer system has an additional, third level, which allows preparing food at an even bigger temperature difference.

While Classic Joe II had a charcoal grate, this model has a charcoal basket. It locks into a cooking system grid, and allows even better airflow, warming up the grill in no time. Furthermore, the basket makes cleaning even easier. This is a nifty upgrade, however, the basket can be bought separately and used with the Classic II model.

The biggest upgrade Classic III has is the SloRoller smoke chamber. It spreads smoke and heat in circulating waves, which surrounds the food, making it juicy while cooking evenly.

This model’s cart is made out of heavy-duty galvanized steel, which is much sturdier than cast iron cart from the Classic II. It also has a bottom shelf for more storage space. Side shelves are upgraded too. They are made out of powder-coated aluminum, whether Classic II has HDPE plastic-coated shelves.

All Classic III upgrades are dandy and well-thought, however, it’s hard to say whether the price tag on the model is worth it. Kamado Joe grills are already on the pricier side, and there are plenty of accessories you can buy and enhance your Classic II, for a much friendlier cost.

Kamado Joe KJ23RHCI-A, Classic Joe III Charcoal Grill

  • 3-tier Divide & Conquer system
  • Charcoal basket is easy to clean
  • Better smoking taste with SloRoller cooking chamber

Char-Griller E06614 Charcoal Grill, Red
Our rating:

This grill is one of Char-Griller’s best selling models, and for a good reason. Like its big brother we reviewed above, this grill is made out of triple-walled 22 gauge steel. The inside of the grill is porcelain-coated, while the exterior is powder-coated. It comes in black and red color, and the design resembles the traditional egg-shaped ceramic kamado.

The cooking surface is 153 square inches, which is half the size of the original Akorn model, but it’s also half the price. For a small family dinner, this grill is just what you need. The grill comes with cast iron grate, which maintains the heat much longer than the steel one would. The porcelain-coated interior holds a steady temperature for a long time, which makes it great not only for steaks and burgers, but even for pizzas and bread.

For many people, portability is an important factor when buying a grill. This model doesn’t come with wheels like the bigger model does, but it weighs only 37 pounds. It has two side handles which means you can easily lift it and put it in your trunk. This is the kamado grill you actually can bring on a camping trip.

This grill is made out of quality materials, it’s easy to use and clean, and the food is cooked evenly and it’s delicious. If you’re looking for a low price tag and high quality, this is a great option for you.

Char-Broil Kamander Charcoal Grill
Our rating:

Here’s another steel kamado grill option for an affordable price. Kamander comes with 327 square inches of primary cooking area, and a swinging warming rack adds another 142 square inches, which is more than enough for a family dinner.

The unique thing about this grill is the vent system. The intake damper is located on the side table, and it’s connected to the grill through the duct. That way, the air will flow from the bottom to the top of the grill, transferring heat around. The position of both dampers is high enough so you don’t have to crouch or bend every time you want to adjust the airflow, and your back is happy for that. Furthermore, dampers have numeric settings, ranging from 1 to 5, which is a nice touch for more precise heat adjustment.

The side shelf is large enough for a plate and food seasoning, and it also has utensil hooks. That way, you have everything you might need close at hand. When not needed, it can be folded down. Underneath the grill, there’s a wire shelf for some extra storage.

The ash pan on Kamander is removed from the top. There is no bottom door, and that way, you don’t interfere with the airflow and the temperature inside the grill. The porcelain-coated grate has a small removable piece through which you can add charcoal during cooking time. It’s not as practical as the charcoal door would be, and if you’re using a water pan, that’s undoable.

Char-Broil Kamander Charcoal Grill
  • 327 Square inch cooking area with 142 Square inch secondary cooking area
  • Ultimate versatility- smoke, roaster or grill all on one unit
  • Unique intake channel and top damper provide easier heat and cooking control
  • Ash pan removes from the top- no bottom openings to prevent potential air leaks
  • Features double-walled Steel construction and large Folding side shelf

Last update on 2020-12-15 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API

  • Large cooking area
  • Practical vent system
  • Large additional surface
  • No charcoal door
  • Limited 1-year warranty

Best Kamado Grills – Buyers Guide

A kamado grill is a great option if you’re looking for versatile outdoor cooking – whether you want smoked ribs or a wood-fired pizza, kamado grill extends at making both.

As you’ve noticed from the list above, kamado grills are made out of two materials – ceramic and steel. But which one is better? Here, we’ll take a closer look at their differences in order for you to make the best choice.

How long a grill would last you depends on how well you take care of it, of course. But besides that obvious fact, there’s a difference in longevity when it comes to the material it’s made out of.

Ceramic is fragile. If you accidentally knock over your kamado, the body will probably crack. However, if you take good care of it, it’s a good chance your kids will inherit it.

On the other hand, steel, while it’s a sturdy material, gets worn off by fire in the long run. No matter how well you take care of it, it will become stained from rust over time. A time will come when you simply have to throw it away and get a new one.

There’s a huge price gap between steel and ceramic kamado grills. It makes sense though, as a ceramic one could last you a long-time if taken good care of.

However, a good ceramic kamado grill can cost as much as a whole one month’s salary, and that’s quite an investment. Therefore, it really depends on how much you’re willing to invest in a grill.

Ceramic is a heavy material. The thicker the ceramic grill walls are, the better it retains the heat.  A standard-sized kamado, like Kamado Joe 18-inch models, weight over 250 pounds. That’s heavier than a regular sofa.

Compared to that, steel kamado grills are featherweight. Kamander weighs around 120 pounds, while Akorn weighs only 89!

In the end, it comes down to what your priorities are. If you want a long-term investment, the ceramic kamado is what you want. But, if you’re trying out a different type of grill, then a steel kamado is great for starting out.

Final Thoughts

A kamado grill is a versatile piece of cooking equipment every bbq lover needs. It grills, smokes, bakes – whatever you want. Furthermore, it’s an eye-catcher on your patio, and all of your guests will ask you about it so much, you might as well write your own kamado FAQ.

If you plan on spending a pretty penny for something that you’ll pass on to your kids, Kamado Joe KJ23RHC Classic II has everything you, and them, will need. If you’re a first-time kamado grill buyer, or if you simply don’t plan on spending so much on a grill, Char-Griller E56720 Akorn has everything you need, but for a friendlier price.

Hope this guide has helped you choose the perfect grill for you. Whichever kamado you go with, we’re sure you’re going to enjoy everything it has to offer.

Survival Planning – How Much Ammo is Enough?

Survival Planning – How Much Ammo is Enough?

It’s a very common question posed by survivalists, preppers, and others preparing for the potential likelihood of a SHTF event. Among all the lists of plans for your survival, things to gather, store, gear to buy, and skills to acquire are the huge concerns of security, self and family protection, guarding your property, and just maybe staying alive.

Survivalists and preppers are gun people. They believe in acquiring a variety of firearms for defensive purposes as well as offensive tactics if things take a turn for the absolute worst. For these purposes a host of weaponry may be stocked and used regularly in preparation for whatever might come down the pike.

The big question often posed by survivalists and preppers is exactly how much ammunition to keep on hand. There are many factors to take under serious consideration as you build up your prepping strategies.

First, how many firearms do you have that you will have to feed? Most will have multiples of handguns, rifles of various kinds, and likely several shotguns, too. These are a lot of guns to stock ammo for, so choose wisely, and above all try to consolidate where possible.

Besides having the firearms you need on hand for a bug-in, transit in a vehicle, or at a bug out location, think about the support gear needed. You will need magazines, carry pouches, gun cleaning supplies, optics, and other support accessories.

For semi-auto magazine fed pistols and rifles, you will need several back up magazines, maybe a dozen or more in each caliber. A minimum number of magazines to have on hand would be at least ten. What is your planning position on this issue?

Then, with having all these extra magazines, they need to be kept loaded and cycled in use. There is some debate about not keeping the mag springs loaded too long, but reality suggests for high quality factory magazines this is not a serious concern.

So, you have the guns and everything else needed. How much ammo? Input I have collected from numerous preppers seem to settle on the figure of at least 5,000 rounds per caliber on hand and ready to use. This quantity does not have to be bought all at once, but is a goal to achieve. Prepping takes planning, and having plenty of ammo is part of it.

Former law enforcement agents make the best private investigators. This is because their background and experience help them to transfer readily to a job as a private investigator. A private investigator who has had a career in law enforcement has the insider knowledge and in-field experience needed to better serve their clients. Here are some reasons why.

Law Enforcement Training

Law enforcement officers work at many levels. City, county, state, and federal agencies all use law enforcement officers. While requirements vary based on the location and type, many receive an associate’s degree in criminal justice or a related field. Some officers continue their education and go on to more specialized positions such as investigator or detective.

Many skills that are utilized as a police officer are also skills necessary to be a successful private investigator. This includes skills such as interviewing, surveillance, serving warrants, detailed paperwork and testifying in court. In addition, a law enforcement officer will understand legal methods of getting information and have the physical stamina necessary for the job. Both law enforcement agents and private investigators also require good people skills. The ability to “read” people and good leadership are other qualities that a career in law enforcement provides police officers turned private investigators with.

Why Law Enforcement Agents Become Private Investigators

As a private investigator, a former law enforcement agent can use their experience and skills with greater freedoms. Granted, a private investigator still must obey the laws and maintain professionalism. However, the job gives them more freedom to go with their instincts when gathering data. Another advantage is that you have the satisfaction of helping your client directly and are able to work one on one with people.

Do Private Investigators Assist On Police Cases?

Yes, private investigators often work with police officers as well as attorneys. Police officers often have restrictions on how far they can pursue a case. Since a private investigator does not have as many legal restrictions, they may assist. In addition, they may gather information and build a case. When they have documentation showing a crime, the private investigator in turn calls in the police to assist.

Former law enforcement agents have a unique perspective and valuable experience when it comes to private investigation. At All Private Investigations, our staff is comprised of former law enforcement agents. Owned and operated by former NYPD Detective Ken Tomlinson, we have conducted over 5,000 criminal and civil investigations ranging from homicide to adultery over a twenty-five year career. We bring you a world of experience, dedication, and professionalism to handle your case. Give us a call today at 631 – 759- 1414.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

J. I. Packer is one of the most significant evangelical theologians of the last one hundred years. He has had a deep and encompassing influence on many renewal movements within North American Christianity and has become a highly regarded leader in the world Christian movement through his many books and lectures around the globe

Here a stellar team of scholars examines some of the major aspects of Packer's life and thought. The contributors analyze and assess Packer's impact on evangelicalism over the past half century, ask what more we can learn from him about ministry and the evangelical future, and suggest a way forward for evangelical theology. J. I. Packer himself offers a response and reflection. The book also includes a full bibliography of Packer's writings, which is the most comprehensive listing of his writings in print.

Charles W. Colson on Packer, Puritans, and postmoderns
Mark E. Dever on Packer and pastoral wisdom from the Puritans
Timothy George on learning Latin (and other things) from Packer
D. Bruce Hindmarsh on evangelical spiritual vitality
Paul R. House on the primacy of Scripture in Packer's ministry
Edith M. Humphrey on Packer's gifts
James Earl Massey on Packer's modern theological classic, Knowing God
Alister E. McGrath on Packer's engagement with the past to enrich the present
David Neff on journalism, theology, and the thirst for truth
Richard John Neuhaus on Christ without culture
Donald J. Payne on Packer's theological method
Carl R. Trueman on Packer's English nonconformist perspective

About the Author

Timothy George (ThD, Harvard University) is founding dean of Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, Alabama, and is the author or editor of more than twenty books, including Theology of the Reformers and God the Holy Trinity.

Open Adoption in Minnesota

Just because you’re choosing adoption for your baby, it doesn’t mean that you’ll never be able to see them or hear from them again. You can choose to have an open adoption in Minnesota if you prefer, and keep in touch with your child and their family after the adoption.

Here’s what you should know about open adoption vs closed adoption in Minnesota:

A Past of Closed Adoption in Minnesota

Until only the last few decades, almost all adoptions were closed adoptions. A closed adoption meant that adoptees and their families would be provided with little to no information about their birth family. This was falsely believed to be the best option to maintain birth parent privacy during a time when adoption was sadly seen as something secretive or shameful.

However, because there was no information available for either party, birth and adoptive family members could rarely find one another if they wished to reconnect later in life. Adoptees received no medical history and never knew why they were placed for adoption. Birth parents never knew what happened to the child that they’d placed for adoption.

Why Open Adoptions in Minnesota Have Become the Norm

Today, nine out of ten birth parents choose to have an open or semi-open adoption. This is a welcome change, as research shows that more openness in adoption is beneficial for everyone involved, but for adoptees most of all.

Open adoption in Minnesota still isn’t widely understood. There are many myths about open adoption that still persist, and people don’t always understand birth mother rights in an open adoption.

Open adoptions are flexible. There are no “rules” for how to have an open adoption. Most open adoptions in Minnesota fall somewhere on a scale of openness between closed to semi-open to open. Where you wish to fall on the scale depends on how much contact you feel comfortable sharing after the adoption is complete. Learn more about semi-open adoption here.

Generally, birth and adoptive families who share an open adoption in Minnesota share the following:

  • Their contact information, like their email addresses or phone numbers

  • Direct communication such as phone calls, letters, emails, and more

  • Family visits

  • And more

If you’re a prospective birth parent working with American Adoptions, you may decide to have more post-adoption contact, or less. It’s all a matter of what you feel most comfortable with.

All adoptive families who work with American Adoptions are prepared to share an open adoption with birth parents that includes at least sending photos and letters for up to 18 years, providing their contact information so that you can directly communicate before and after placement, a visit to Minnesota after the adoption is complete and more.

This is the minimum that’s required of our adoptive parents, but you decide whether you’d like to have a more or less open adoption than that minimum standard. Birth parents are the ones who decide how much post-adoption contact they feel comfortable with, so the choice is yours.

Understanding Open Adoption in MN

Most people know very little about open adoptions in Minnesota. So here are some basic facts to separate the facts from the fiction:

  • Open adoptions DO mean that you’ll be able to remain a part of your child’s life.

  • Open adoptions DON’T mean that you’ll be able to “get the baby back” at a later time.

  • Open adoptions DO mean that your child will be able to talk with you directly about their adoption and come to you with any questions they may have.

  • Open adoptions DON’T mean that your child will be confused about who their “real parents” are.

  • Open adoptions DO mean that you’ll be able to watch your child growing up happy and loved.

  • Open adoptions DON’T mean co-parenting with your child’s parents.

The evidence that increased openness in adoption is beneficial for birth parents, adoptive parents, and most of all, for adoptees, is well-documented. For this reason and more, American Adoptions always recommends choosing open adoption whenever individual situations allow.

Are Open Adoptions in Minnesota Legally Enforceable?

Post-adoption contact agreements (PACAs) are permitted in Minnesota, although they are only sometimes legally enforceable in certain situations. But PACAs are very rarely needed, since most birth and adoptive families communicate consistently and easily without the need for legal reminders.

The importance of honoring an open adoption agreement regarding communication cannot be overstated, so American Adoptions carefully counsels both birth and adoptive parents about upholding this responsibility together. Should either party fall out of touch, we can hold any correspondence intended for them for up to 18 years after the adoption in case they ever regain contact.

I Asked for Flowers for Thanksgiving

thanksgiving (2)

I don’t know if I’ve ever written a post, previous blogs included, on the eve of Thanksgiving.

But tonight I’ve slipped the apple pie into the oven and my thoughts have fallen back to a Thanksgiving Eve six years ago, when I presented Y with a small bow-tied package. He opened it to find a pair of very small white crocheted shoes with green trim, and a card that said I hoped he would learn to slow his pace, because tiny feet would be following his soon. That was a Thanksgiving of wonder and joy, and — though we didn’t know it yet — our “bend in the road” in many ways: a last Thanksgiving with our friends-like-family in Virginia before a new year in a new state, a new job, a new home with a new member in our family.

Tomorrow will be the Thanksgiving that follows this summer and its fresh wave of fear. Truth to tell, I’m still smarting from its icy salt sting. I’ve always been wary around fevers, even when Lucy was little, but now they bring high alert and a gripping anxiety when they crop up in the house; Little Jo with a fever now can easily mean a trip to the emergency room. Tonight I type to the staccato of her coughs upstairs. Each one is a blast of adrenaline for me, even though I know this is only a cold, and — more enduringly — I know Whose child she is, and the everlasting arms in which all of us are held.

And tomorrow is Thanksgiving.

I had made plans. We wanted to invite others to our home this year, to welcome those without a place to go as we have been enfolded so many times. On Monday I let go, knowing that it would be poor hospitality to relay the stomach bug and the colds that have rampaged through our house. There will be other days for swinging the front door open to new guests and preparing full-table dinners.

Tomorrow, just the four of us: we will celebrate.

It’s only now, now that I know we won’t have visitors to spark the customary cleaning of the house, and now after this summer, that I realize how afraid I’ve been to say those words.

Can I spread a feast in a world where there are refugees seeking a quiet corner to eat a crust in peace, where emergency rooms will be open and active on this day, where we do not know if the months from here to the next Thanksgiving will bring evil or good?

I’ve read recently that feasting is an act of war. That in the audaciousness of sitting at table under the banner of our King in a broken world, we “reinstate the truth of creation, joy, and all things made new.”

I’ve let it soak in since, and I believe it. I believe that feasting is an act of war — and tonight as I lay Little Jo down in her crib, something in my thoughts whispered, so is the very act of giving thanks.

Isn’t it?

For giving thanks flies arrows in the face of an Enemy who would do anything to stifle our doing of God’s will — who reminds us at every turn of reasons why we shouldn’t thank God. Are the poor not hungry? Are our barren friends not laden with sorrow? Isn’t it true that the lives of our loved ones can snuff out without even a moment’s notice? What, then, gives us a right to revel in the blessing of good food on the table and children running through our home and our halcyon days? Writing the accusation makes it plainer to me now, and I thank God that it’s shown for what it is.

The act of giving thanks declares that the gift of now is sufficient for me. It goes against the very grain of the human nature, but I do not need the knowledge of what is to come to accept the present blessing. For the security of my peace is bound up not in permanence, but in my Master. I think of the servant in Christ’s parable about the talents; it’s always intrigued me that it was the servant’s narrow view of his master as a “hard man” that poisoned his work for him. I may give thanks for what I hold now, because God will not prove to be a hard-hearted God, even when He takes my perceived blessings away.

So I will.

In the simplest way I know how, I give thanks tonight for the food in the kitchen and the children in their beds and a thousand other provisions, and this tangible knowledge of the goodness of God will fuel our kindness to the people whom He loves deeply.

The table where we will gather tomorrow is not ours, but His, and thus we may all the more freely partake of its abundance, for we claim nothing on it as ours by right, or even ours for the years to come.

All belongs to Him — and He is good

So yesterday, and again this morning as Y said goodbye as he left for work, I asked for flowers. Their fleeting loveliness has never seemed to justify the dent to our wallet if they’re only for us, but tomorrow they will be part of our celebration of the sufficiency and the mission and the goodness of our King. In our house, we’ll revel in the joys of two children who are old enough and healthy enough to enjoy each other’s company and name things precious to them, and a husband and wife who are daily growing in humor and affection in this season.

Come early afternoon, I’ll lay out the cream toile tablecloth and place the brilliant blooms on it as the kitchen fills with the aromas of an American Thanksgiving at home. I’ll watch as the girls soak in the table setting as they approach the meal — and together with other Feast-Wagers all over the country, we’ll raise a glass to the Bridegroom who has come and who will return again to set things right forever. Together with them, with you, we’ll light a match of gratitude and of beauty in a world that is passing away, as a foretoken of the one that is to come.

God is good, dear friends.

Thanking Him for you today,

CFAI Text Reading 71 Page 47 Q3

I dotn get this… Why is sun taking the loss? I read the question to say, sun agrees to buy in 90 days at .875 at which point the market rate is .90. It seem like sun should win since they had a contract to buy at the lower rate than market, thus causing the seller to lose. If he was betting on a short at .90 and it declined, the seller would win, but he bet at .875 and it went up… What the H-E-Double hockey stick? Rolo

prob should post question

Its because SUN agreed to buy $ at the rate of 0.875. Had it gone for conversion at later date, it would have been able to convert at 0.90. So, it had to bear net loss of 0.875-0.90 for each euro converted.

Daniel Thomas Davis

Daniel Thomas Davis creates music singled out for its “soul-wrenching” connection to the human voice and its “rich harmonic and textural language” (Classical Voice North America). His recent works for the stage include Six.Twenty.Outrageous, a Symphony Space / American Opera Projects production directed by Doug Fitch, Family Secrets: Kith & Kin with North Carolina Opera, and The Impossible She with Rhymes with Opera at the New York Opera Fest, which Parterre hailed as a “towering musical achievement, a hugely complex work packing a whopping political and intellectual punch.”

At venues including the Royal Opera House, the Metropolitan Museum and Carnegie Hall, Dan’s music has been performed by Lynn Harrell, the Detroit Symphony, Momenta Quartet, London Sinfonietta, ModernMedieval, Yarn|Wire, Lontano, Lexington Philharmonic, Charlotte Symphony, Ossian Ensemble, Ensemble X, 21st-Century Consort, Locrian Players, and members of Roomful of Teeth and Anonymous 4, among many others. A frequent collaborator with writers, filmmakers, and choreographers, he scored the feature films An Encounter with Simone Weil and Pushed Up the Mountain, as well as Breath Catalogue, an evening-length dance work with Megan Nicely/Dance+Kate Elswit. His work has earned him fellowships from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Bogliasco Foundation, Yaddo, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the British Government (Marshall Scholar).

Raised in rural North Carolina, Dan has long created work informed by American popular and traditional musics — especially congregational singing and old-time country, an influence made clear in this album. A graduate of the University of Michigan, Royal Academy of Music, Peabody Conservatory, and Johns Hopkins University, he currently directs the composition program at Binghamton University (SUNY) and divides his time between upstate New York and Brooklyn.

Andrea Edith Moore

Soprano Andrea Edith Moore brings to her performances an “opalescence that is particularly served by her impressive phrasing and inherent musicality” (, and “wows audiences with her powerful and flexible soprano voice, her acting ability, and her dedication and drive” (CVNC). Andrea has enjoyed a wide range of collaborations with artists and ensembles including Vladimir Ashkenazy, David Zinman, Eighth Blackbird, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance company, the Hamburger Kammeroper, My Brightest Diamond and the Red Clay Ramblers.

Equally at home in the music of our time and of the distant past, she has starred in roles ranging from The Governess in Britten’s Turn of the Screw, Micaëla in Carmen, Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro, and Sara in Higdon’s Cold Mountain. An accomplished concert soloist, she has garnered particular acclaim for her interpretations of the Bach Cantatas and German Lieder, at venues including the Teatro Colon, Baltimore Lieder Weekend, Duke Chapel, and Richard Tucker Foundation.

Andrea’s commitment to voices from her native North Carolina has led her to commission, premiere, and perform composers including Kenneth Frazelle, Daniel Thomas Davis, Sue Klausmeyer, Robert Ward, and numerous others. She produced, premiered, and developed Family Secrets: Kith and Kin with North Carolina Opera, and is especially proud to feature this new work as her debut recording.

Andrea is a prizewinner in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, was a fellow with four-time Grammy-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird at the Blackbird Creative Lab and has twice received the Yale School of Music Alumni Award. She holds degrees from Yale University, Peabody Conservatory of Music at The Johns Hopkins University and UNC School of the Arts.

The Ensemble

The characterful instrumentation of Family Secrets brought together an eclectic group of collaborators to highlight the operatic fervor, sultry accents, and unmistakable twang of this genre-bending score. The unique ensemble features pianist Lisa Kaplan and cellist Nick Photinos of the pioneering, 4 time Grammy winning new-music ensemble Eighth Blackbird; NC banjo virtuoso Hank Smith of Hank, Pattie & The Current; Mallarmé Chamber Players’ standout oboist Bo Newsome and violinist Elizabeth Phelps; and North Carolina actress and tour-de-force storyteller Jane Holding. The intrepid and acclaimed conductor Timothy Myers unites this all-star group into a seamless and balanced whole.

On the other side of the studio, five-time Grammy-winning producer and Blackbird Creative Lab director Elaine Martone offered inspiration and guidance in every phase of the recording process — the remarkable result of a fortuitous meeting between Andrea and Elaine in 2018.
