What is the best way to attach the straps to the jetpack harness and the straps to the metal clips? Are these typically sewn or do people attach them with rivets or grommets? If so, what size rivets or grommets do people typically use?

Much Ado about Dollhouse [Television Tuesday]
When the last episode of Angel aired in 2004, television viewers had no idea that they'd be waiting five years to see the creative genius of Joss Whedon on the small screen again.
Joss Whedon is often described as a feminist, not least because he has called himself one. He's been an outspoken advocate on behalf of women all over the world, he's engaged with feminist issues in his shows, on interviews, and with his fans, and his groundbreaking series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) made leaps and bounds for women on television when it aired. However, he's also been criticized by the feminist community for his failure to include people of colour on his shows, for the lack of size diversity seen in his productions, and for his sometimes troubling approach to sex work, among many other things.
Thus it was with some trepidation that feminists awaited Dollhouse, which debuted on the rather inauspicious date of Friday, 13 February 2009. The premise of the show: a shady company has developed technology which can be used to strip people's personalities and memories from their bodies, and the same technology can be used to imprint a new personality. The company has amassed a stable of powerful, high-paying, very elite clients, providing people, made to order, in the form of Actives who can be programmed by the company to be anyone a client desires. The Actives are uniformly beautiful, examples of sleek physical perfection, and they can be imprinted to suit any whim.
Viewers learn that people can sign up for a term of service in the Dollhouse as an Active, living in a neutral state in a posh facility dripping with Chinoiserie until called for, at which point they are imprinted and sent out on engagements under the protection of a handler. Birth coach one day, hostage negotiator on another, perfect girlfriend the next. When they return, they are wiped again, and allowed to wander the halls of the Dollhouse, receiving massages, taking tai chi classes, and learning bonsai.
On the surface, Dollhouse can be read as just another science fiction adventure show. The same actors play different characters every week, often wearing revealing and impractical costumes*, and viewers can be entertained by a side plot featuring a rogue FBI agent on a quest to bring the Dollhouse down. But Whedon's shows aren't meant to be read on the surface. Dollhouse is a story about personhood and agency, and as the series unfold, we watch one of the Actives, Echo, reaching a state of self awareness. And we learn more about the workings of the organization behind the Dollhouse.
Critics have argued that Dollhouse blatantly depicts rape culture, and to some extent, Whedon agrees. He openly admits that the operations of the Dollhouse are misogynistic (source) and is not trying to shy away from the ugliness that the show depicts. Yet, some viewers have apparently missed this, which is raising some interesting questions about Dollhouse.
Numerous feminists have discussed the fact that what is happening on Dollhouse is rape (1, 2). When Actives are sent out on engagements which involve sexual activity, that activity is, by nature, not consensual. Whedon openly admits this, and says "I'm not saying that nonconsensual sex is ever OK." It sounds like this is one place in which Whedon and his critics are in agreement: the show is depicting the rape and exploitation of people, with a focus on women.
Speaking in defense of the show, many people have brushed this point aside, saying that critics (and apparently Whedon himself, since he agrees with these criticisms) "don't understand subtlety" or are "missing the point." It's a classic silencing technique used to marginalize feminist discourse: by ignoring it, the respondent believes that the criticism is invalidated.
Dollhouse is definitely a subtle show. There's a reason for that: Fox told Whedon to make it more subtle, because they were uncomfortable with the themes being explored. Being subtle isn't necessarily a bad thing; as The Angry Black Woman pointed out, we feminists are capable of comprehending subtlety, and of appreciating it. A show can be subtle, and be making good points, and still be problematic, and this is what much of the debate which surrounds Dollhouse seems to be swirling around.
The question is not "did Whedon realize he was making a show about human trafficking, rape, and the exploitation of women?" Obviously, he did. He's said so on numerous occasions. The question is "are viewers of Dollhouse actually engaging with these issues as a result of seeing them depicted on the show?" And the answer, by and large, seems to be "no," judging from the routine silencing of viewers who are engaging with these issues and would like to talk about them.
People who defend the show by arguing that it doesn't depict rape are actually doing Dollhouse a grave disservice, because they don't seem to understand that television can depict deeply problematic things which are Not OK, and still be good television. Indeed, some of the greatest television ever made deals with very difficult issues, and the creators of great television don't feel the need to slap warning labels on their shows to let viewers know that they aren't condoning or promoting the activities depicted, because viewers should understand this without needing guidance.
Feminist critiques of Dollhouse, even from Whedon fans, seem to be taken by a subset of Whedon's fan community as an attack on Whedon himself, or on the show. In their hurry to retaliate, they aren't engaging with the criticisms, and they are (dare I say it) missing the point. The argument isn't "Dollhouse isn't good," although some critics certainly do feel that way, the argument is "hey, this show is depicting some awful stuff! Let's talk about it!"
In a way, and I suspect that some people will disagree with me quite vehemently, I think that Dollhouse is a highly feminist television show, and that it may in fact be more feminist than other Whedon shows, thanks to the unflinching depiction of issues like exploitation and disempowerment, for all of the problems with the show. Depicting rape and exploitation doesn't make it inherently antifeminist, even when the framing is sometimes highly problematic, and I am enjoying the exploration of complex moral issues in the show and the conversation that it is sparking. This is a show which requires work from the viewer, something several critics have taken issue with, but the outcome of that work can be highly beneficial.
*Costuming on Dollhouse could probably consume an entirely separate post, but I do want to briefly address the issue, since the costumes on the show are often used as a glaring example that the show is exploitative and misogynistic. It's important to note that, yes, the costumes are often highly impractical and inappropriate, but the costuming on the show is not Whedon's fault. While Whedon does have a great deal of creative control, he can't be everywhere at once, and he doesn't micromanage his creative team. Fox has very clear ideas about how they want the show framed and presented, which means that on certain issues, Whedon actually has no control. Fox says they want the Actives sexed up on engagements, the costume department delivers. I'm happy to lay blame where blame is due, but we can't be attacking the poor man for things he's not responsible for.

Great post! One thing that sometimes bothers me is that people think that a feminist tv show or feminist movie has to be about female empowerment. You have to see a woman being strong physically or emotionally (or both), etc. etc. But a feminist tv show (like this post suggests) can also be about raising awareness about feminist issues such as disempowerment, consent, human trafficking, etc.ReplyDelete
I also have a feeling that I will always stand up for Joss Whedon and his creations. But that doesn't mean I can't be critical about his shows. Dollhouse is great because it fosters discussion. I would watch it every week with one of my friends (or we would watch individually and get together later) and then we would discuss the show. We would talk about all these issues that Whedon raises. When a show like this comes along, it's important to talk about it!
I'm going to state outright that I agree with Laura - my love for Joss runs deep and I will always find a way to defend him, because I do believe he's doing important work, and doing so intentionally. No theme he touches on is an accident. Which is why I disagree with you, RMJ, about the Agent Ballard storyline being relegated to a "side plot." As feminists, isn't this side plot the one we could relate to the most? Agent Ballard is laughed at for his pursuit of an urban legend that most people believe don't exist, and people view him as crazed in his desire to bring the Dollhouse down and release its captives. Don't we often face the same arguments when we fight against the many -isms many people don't take the time to see, tell us we're overreacting or crazed ourselves? Overall, I agree with your analysis, but I think that the Agent Ballard storyline definitely deserves another look. I'm particularly looking forward to ***spoiler alert*** seeing how Agent Ballard's collusion with the Dollhouse in Season 2 affects his desire to bring them down... which will hopefully be a whole new goldmine of discussion.ReplyDelete
Oops!! Correction - guest posting - so it's meloukhia I am disagreeing with, not RMJ. Sorry for the confusion!! Enjoying the discussion nonetheless.ReplyDelete
Sweet, I knew I could make RMJ take the heat for me!ReplyDelete
In looking at Dollhouse, I think that some people (the shallow viewers) are reading the Ballard plot as the B Plot, with their focus being on what's going on inside the Dollhouse and with Echo, though obviously there's some intersection between A and B plots going on, like, say, when Echo and Ballard meet. I'm not saying that's how I view it, that's just how some folks read it. And that's why it's described as a "side plot" in the superficial overview of the story.
That said, you bring up a really interesting point when you talk about the fact that Ballard is fighting against many of the same things feminists struggle with. I can honestly admit that I hadn't reflected on that before: that Ballard's silencing and marginalization from his colleagues is paralleled by the real world treatment of feminists. (Including the, uhm, sometimes very disturbing responses I've gotten to articles in the Feminism and Joss Whedon series at my website from ardent Whedon fans who do not like criticism.)
I'll have to consider that when I tackle Ballard's characterization, which is object number #1,356 on the list of things I would like to discuss about Dollhouse.
Awesome post, meloukhia. I think you touched on a lot of thoughts I had about the show but wasn't able to verbalize.ReplyDelete
Dollhouse is a great show--I'm eagerly waiting for season 2 to begin in just over 3 weeks! It does touch on a lot of uncomfortable issues, but so did Schindler's List. One of the reasons people will watch a show repeatedly is that it makes them think, even and especially after the initial 'entertainment' value is gone.
I think that one thing that the Ballard plot does (in addition to mirroring silencing of feminists) is bring to light for "shallow viewers" some of the issues that are not on the surface that critical viewers see. He often talks about the Dollhouse in terms of disempowerment, human trafficking, and consent. I think his story provides the criticism of the Dollhouse that "shallow viewers" might not see without some direction. And I too am anxious to see how his involvement with the Dollhouse plays out in season 2. I'm so excited for the next season to start!ReplyDelete
Terrific post! About the costuming though, has there really been any indication that Fox meddled very much in that department? If you listen to the DVD commentaries it seems that their main request was more stand-alone action and to shy away from controversial issues. For me, who admittedly went in expecting a feminist show, it seemed that a lot of the skimpy clothing etc was at least partly deliberate. It was one of the factors that made you feel slightly uncomfortable watching the dolls on their missions, and I think that rhymes with Whedon having said that even the viewers come away "compromised". That the viewers culpability in the exploitation of the dolls seems to be addressed is one of the many things that fascinate me with this show. It might of course just be your regular objectification and network interference, but at least to me it always came across as a bit too deliberately disturbing to be only that?ReplyDelete
Thanks for this piece. I should be more supportive of you on Whedonesque, but I get burned out arguing with the guys who think that the activities are consensual.ReplyDelete
I hope to blog about this Friday.

I don't stir-fry nearly enough. I go through phases. Right now I'm in a big roasting phase (of course, it being winter and freezing, the benefits of hot oven heating up your kitchen can not be ignored). The other day, I was craving a stir-fry. Nothing fancy, just your basic, a little bit of meat, a little bit of veg, a little bit of sauce, over some fluffy white steamed rice.
So, I found Beef, Mushroom, and Broccoli Stir-fry in The Bon Appetit Cookbook: Fast Easy Freshmy favorite place to turn for recipes that are…well…Fast, Easy and Fresh! This was perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Since it is Friday, and since I have things to do, I found it online for you Beef, Mushroom, and Broccoli Stir-fry. Saves me from having to retype it all in and it reminds you to visit Epicurious.
This will be my entry for Foodie Friday at Designs by Gollum!

Alright I have a question..
I am looking for a gel, and I want it to be able to fight frizz, give good my curls/waves good definition but still leave my hair soft.. any reccomendations wavies?
Or am I searching for a product that does not exist..
I went from hard to soft. Is there a transition period???
I'm working on it! Seriously, I very quickly tired of the layering of multiple products that seems to be the norm in order to get all three of your wishes. So I'm concocting and cooking in my kitchen trying to see if I can create a miracle product. LOL, it's probably impossible but I have time on my hands and may as well give it a try eh?
I'll post if I have any success. Just know that you are not the only one who wants ONE styling product that does it all.
Maci, if the air has gotten drier as the weather has gotten cooler, you may need to avoid humectants for the winter, at least in your leave-ins and stylers. What is the current dewpoint where you live? (You can find it on most of the weather sites that give current temps, etc).
random post, but i just wanted to vent about surface frizz. it's so annoying. and i didn't even touch my hair after applying product, it just appeared. booooo.

LC -- I have major hair envy when I see your avie pic. Just thought I'd let you know!

Ossabaw Island
About Ossabaw Island
Ossabaw Island is the third largest of Georgia's Sea Islands and lies along the Atlantic Ocean about 20 miles south of Savannah. The island encompasses over 16,000 acres of tidal marshes and 9,000 acres of high ground. Ponds, salt water creeks, one river and many sloughs, inlets, and beaches make the high ground of Ossabaw a complex of small islands. Broad flat ridges and shallow depressions comprise the western part of Ossabaw (Pleistocene soils), while steep, parallel dune ridges mark the eastern part (Holocene soils).
After passing through many private owners, the State of Georgia acquired Ossabaw in 1978 through a gift/sale agreement from the Torrey family and the efforts of Eleanor Torrey West. At the time of the sale, it was stated under an Executive Order by governor Busbee "that Ossabaw Island be dedicated as a Heritage Preserve to protect, conserve, and preserve the natural and cultural resources of this Island for the benefit of present and future generations, and that Ossabaw Island shall only be used for natural, scientific, and cultural study, research and education, and environmentally sound preservation, conservation, and management of the Island's ecosystem, under conditions carefully monitored and controlled by the Department of Natural Resources".

I have recently discovered the works of Ñāṇavīra Thera who was a self proclaimed stream-winner. In reading his works i discovered that Ñāṇavīra Thera commited suicide due to an illness that he was suffering with for some years.
My understanding is that suicide is a breaking of the first precept not to kill, and his unwholesome kamma.
If one is a Stream-Winner then the lower realms are cut off from him/her, if one is a stream-winner and they kill themselves, how do they experience the unwholesome kamma? Or is suicide not a unwholesome act in certain circumstances i.e. if one is a stream-winner?
I am in now way trying to judge Ñāṇavīra Thera as I am developing an appreciation of him and his writtings, its just the suicide of self proclamied stream-winner confuses me somewhat.

Springfield, Ohio – While most students started the new school year on campus, Sloan Galbraith, class of 2015 from Cincinnati, Ohio, was in Medellín, Colombia with the Olympic Junior Team USA for karate, competing in the Pan American Championship, Aug. 25-Sept. 1.
Galbraith joined Team USA this summer, taking second place in three out of five events at the U.S. Open. During the third match of Junior Fighting, a hit from her opponent dislocated her shoulder, but Galbraith continued fighting in the fourth match and earned a spot on Team USA. Joining the ranks of top athletes, Galbraith and her team spent a week at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., in preparation for the Pan American Championship.
On Aug. 28, USA Karate tweeted from Colombia, "The Jr. National Team has weighed in, is finishing their last training, and is looking great! Competition starts tomorrow!"
Galbraith competed in a division with representatives from nearly 20 different countries. Although she didn't place, qualifying for Team USA and competing in the tournament were major accomplishments for the Wittenberg junior, and her participation in the Pan American games reflects years of self-discipline and community support.
A student at Ritter's Family Martial Arts in Mason, Ohio, Galbraith took up karate competitively at the age of 13. At 15, she competed in her first national tournament. Two years later, she competed internationally at the Junior Olympics and took first place in Weapons. Since then, she has competed at Nationals and the Junior Olympics every year, always taking either first or second place. Now in school, she usually goes home three times a week to train in addition to teaching karate classes for 4-7-year-olds.
The same discipline that drives her to keep a demanding training schedule also motivates her to maintain high academic standards.
Galbraith recently declared a sport management major, as well as minors in chemistry and biology. Although she considered attending a larger school closer to home, Galbraith believes that her experiences with professors are proof enough that coming to Wittenberg was the right decision.
"Of course balancing college and athletics is hard to do, but all of my professors have been more than understanding," she said. "Most of them can't wait for me to have a tournament close by for them to come watch."
From checking in with her after tournaments via text to helping her catch up on class material, Galbraith's Wittenberg professors have supported her efforts both in and out of the classroom.
In addition to competing nationally this summer, Galbraith worked on a collaborative research project with Peter Hanson, associate professor of organic chemistry.
"He helped me coordinate my schedule so that I could continue my summer research and still train and compete at nationals," Galbraith said. "He made it possible for me to pursue both of my passions."
Her chemistry advisor, Dave Finster, professor of inorganic chemistry, arranged a meeting for her with a physical therapy graduate program professor to learn more about possible career paths. That conversation, coupled with her summer experience and talking with trainers at the Olympic Training Center, led her to declare the sport management major, one of Wittenberg's new programs. She plans to pursue a career in athletic training for Olympic athletes.
"The professors are understanding and helpful, and they've made it possible for me to do school and karate," she said. "They're helping me figure out what I want to do with my life and keep karate in it."
Galbraith, who has received support from the Wittenberg community to pursue her calling, hopes to bring karate back to campus. As co-president of No Woman Left Behind, she plans to invite her karate instructor to lead self-defense lessons as part of this year's NWLB programming.
One lesson Galbraith has learned through her years of preparation, whether for athletics, academics or co-curriculars activities, is that it's not enough to work alone, and at Wittenberg, members of the community support each other in the personal search for balance that characterizes wholeness of person.
"Wittenberg offers so many different opportunities for you to explore what you're interested in," she said, "and the support you get from peers and professors will help you reach your goals."

Here's my bowcaster based off of the one used in the Republic Commando video game. Its not completely accurate to the game because there are some things I changed for functionality, some things I changed for personal preference, and some things I changed because to do otherwise was just beyond my skill. However, I think its a pretty good representation of what was in the game. Its taken a little less than 3 months to build. Let me know what you think.

Pulsatile GnRH in Anovulatory Infertility
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) upon the pituitary and ovaries of women with infertility. Women diagnosed with GnRH deficiency, hypothalamic amenorrhea, acquired hypogonadic hypogonadism, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) will participate in this study. It is hoped that administration of GnRH will lead to proper stimulation of the pituitary gland and to normal ovulation and menstruation.
Pulsatile GnRH has been approved by the FDA for use in women with primary amenorrhea due to complete GnRH deficiency. The overall goals of this protocol are to continue to use pulsatile GnRH in GnRH-deficient women for ovulation induction and to examine specific physiologic hypotheses, which can only be addressed in this patient population, and to examine the efficacy of pulsatile GnRH for ovulation induction in other subsets of anovulatory patients.
|Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Amenorrhea Kallmann's Syndrome
|Drug: synthetic gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) Device: Mini-infusion pump
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Pulsatile GnRH in Anovulatory Infertility
- presence of ovulation and/or pregnancy [ Time Frame: 1 pulsatile GnRH cycle ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 1989
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2020
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2020 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Drug: synthetic gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
75 ng/kg GnRH IVDevice: Mini-infusion pump
portable, infusion pump for GnRH
Detailed Description:
In comparison to the use of exogenous gonadotropins, pulsatile administration of GnRH has many theoretical advantages for ovulation induction, including; 1) the ability to use the patients' own gonadotropins for ovarian stimulation; 2) the ability to treat anovulatory defects at their appropriate level, which most commonly is hypothalamic; 3) the ability to maintain normal ovarian-pituitary feedback mechanisms to restrain endogenous FSH secretion, as occurs normally in species that ovulate a single egg per cycle; 4) a resultant decrease in the risks of multiple gestations and hyperstimulation; and 5) a decreased need for intensive monitoring of ovarian function with an attendant decrease in costs.
When synthetic GnRH first became available for clinical study, there was not yet an adequate understanding of the physiology of GnRH secretion in the human to support its potential therapeutic application. As a result, early attempts at ovulation induction were unsuccessful. It was soon appreciated that an episodic mode of delivery was essential for normal pituitary stimulation by GnRH. Studies by our group and others which defined the frequency of pulsatile GnRH secretion in normal women at different stages of the menstrual were then key to designing a physiologic program of pulsatile GnRH administration that resulted in successful ovulation induction in patients with GnRH deficiency. Additional studies demonstrated that which replacement of GnRH using the subcutaneous route was adequate to reproduce normal physiology in GnRH-deficient men, the intravenous route was superior in women. We have now determined the dose of GnRH which is appropriate for the majority of women as 75 ng/kg, a dose which induces ovulation of a single dominant follicle, followed by normal luteal phase dynamics.
A number of investigators including us have sought to define the specific subgroups likely to achieve the greatest benefit from this form of therapy. However, there are many questions which remain unanswered and that we are currently addressing. We are specifically interested in understanding why there is variability in the dose of GnRH required by apparently GnRH-deficient women and have recently determined that one of our patients who required a significantly higher dose of GnRH to reproduce normal cycle dynamics, had a mutation of the GnRH receptor rather than a deficiency of GnRH itself. We have recently determined that the response of gonadotropin free a-subunit may help to refine the phenotype in patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
In addition, we are actively recruiting patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Patients with PCOS have a more variable response to pulsatile GnRH than do other subsets of anovulatory patients and we are seeking to determine the specific patient characteristics, which predict success. This is important as this group of patients are particularly challenging in terms of ovulation induction with gonadotropins, being susceptible to ovarian hyperstimulation, cycle cancellation and/or multiple gestation. One of the major factors associated with anovulation is insulin resistance with compensatory hyperinsulinemia. Improving insulin resistance, using an insulin-sensitizing agent as metformin, has been shown to improve ovulatory function in patients with PCOS undergoing ovulation induction with clomiphene or exogenous gonadotropins. The combination of metformin with pulsatile GnRH will be addressed in this population.
It is important to note that minors have been included in this protocol, as many patients are extremely anxious to know whether they respond normally to pulsatile GnRH even though they may not be interested in conceiving at the time. This is particularly true of patients who have survived childhood cancers and associated surgery and/or radiation in whom a normal response to pulsatile GnRH can be a very positive experience. Minors with PCOS will not be administered Metformin as part of this protocol.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|16 Years to 45 Years (Child, Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Women and minors with GnRH deficiency or idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) will have a history of primary amenorrhea, no evidence of abnormalities in other hormonal axes, an apulsatile pattern of luteinizing hormone (LH) and/or free alpha subunit (FAS) secretion on baseline sampling and a normal cranial CT or MRI.
- Women and minors with hypothalamic amenorrhea will have a history of secondary amenorrhea of at least six months duration with low or normal gonadotropins or a history of primary amenorrhea in the presence of pulsatile patterns of LH or FAS on baseline frequent sampling studies, weight between the 10th and 90th percentile for height according to the Sargent scale and normal testosterone and prolactin levels.
- Women and minors with acquired hypogonadotropic hypogonadism will have a history of hypothalamic or pituitary tumor treated with surgery alone or in combination with radiotherapy or a history of hypothalamic irradiation as adjunctive therapy for leukemia or craniofacial neoplasms. There must be a minimum of 2 years since irradiation and no gonadal radiation. For the previous two months, patients will be euthyroid on thyroid replacement if needed, normoprolactinemic on dopamine agonists if needed, and receiving physiologic glucocorticoid replacement if needed.
Subjects will be otherwise healthy women and female minors between the ages of 16 and 45 years who have not been on gonadal steroid preparations for at least 1 month. Subjects will have normal complete blood count (hemoglobin greater than or equal to 11.5gm/dl) and thyroid function tests and a negative pregnancy test.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients will be screened for clinical evidence of mitral valve prolapse and those in whom it is suspected will undergo a cardiac ultrasound evaluation. The presence of ballooning of the mitral valve will be cause for exclusion of the patient from intravenous GnRH treatment.

Good idea on the walls. I'll discuss this with my builder.
Good looking plan.But a garage can never be to big.They are always to small.LOL
i have a dircect lift 7000lb pro park model comes with casters and everything to move it around very easily with a car on it but 10' is definately not enough if i remember correct the lowest part of my ceiling is 10'6" where the lift is and it you get a larger lift and pick up a truck it wouldn't make it. if your having trusses made the can make a taller section in the middle or somewhere so you can roll the lift into that area if you need more height
Have you considered a retractable wall for the main bays? It would never hurt to be able to open up the floor if you needed to. I hope you are not offended , but I re-worked your plan a little bit. The dotted line between the bays represents the retractable or partitian wall. The wall between the main bays has been moved to the west 1 bay to seperate the main floor from the other rooms. I also opened up the bay doors to about 10'wide.
I know you have your design well thought out , I was just throwin out ideers. When you have your trusses built , keep overhead storage in mind as an option.I see lots of good wasted space up there all the time.
Just thought of this. Have you considered an in floor pit for easy oil changes , etc? It's not the solution to everything under the car , but may be an alternative to a lift in some situations. You could also use "cathedral" or vaulted trusses in the garage area to improve headroom for a lift.

Great looking shop idea, man. I wish I had the space and means to build me one (my .49 acre ain't gonna cut it).
As far as your shop becoming too small- you could always come off the back side, or east side, with a closed in area for parts storage or something. With just a lean-to roof.
I like the plan. The only thing I might alter is the door to the east bay. I'd just make it bigger- in case you wanna move larger parts from the "clean" bay to the other side of the shop, without opening the big roll up door.
Anyways- good luck!
If you're not putting in a lift and are going with lower ceilings, have you considered adding a second storey? I know it doesn't jive with the design, but it's something I regreted not doing when I built my garage at my old place.
Roger...you may want to reconsider the size of the garage doors. 8 foot wide is not really wide enough. I have 9 footers on mine and a few times I wish they were at least 10'. I would not go with less than 9' though. My nephew was going to pull his truck in which was a dually and it was close. And figure on a 9' door, the opening is less than that by the time you get the jamb and seal trim up. We We backed his truck in but had to stop when we got to the mirrors. It would not make it. Also on a few occasions I had to back my car trailer in. It was an extra wide. I had 2" on each side of the fenders. It made it in but takes quite a bit of time trying to line everything up just right. So before you finalize your plans you may want to measure a few things that you may be putting thru the doors or anything you may be building that would come back out thru the doors. Kind of like building a boat in the basement only to find you can't get it out. LOL!!!
BTW...that garage will look super
Yes, I thought of a retractable wall but decided that the permanent wall was the way to go for me. I do want to keep the west bay open to the main area as this is where I will do general mechanical work (not the dust making kind) and the rest of the time storage for my '69 Corvette. I also figured that the wall between the bathroom door and blaster room door would be perfect for a flat screen TV.
Also, I planned on putting in good retractable attic stairs and utilize attic space for storage like you said.
And yes, I had thought about a pit and lift quite a bit. I am really used to putting a car up on 4 heavy duty jack stands as that is the way I have done it all my life. However, if I ever got a lift, I think I would get the Kwiklift portable. The 10 ft. ceilings would not be an issue for this lift. I really can't see me ever wanting a high lift.
Thanks for your input!
I have changed my plans to 9ft wide doors. My original posting of the plans are now updated so you can see what it looks like.

The following picture shows the back of my house. The garage and the apartment above are a new addition. The concrete patio, patio cover, hardie siding and metal roof are also all new. (Still needs paint and driveway)
And just an fyi, the house did have detached garage when I bought it, but it is not in very good shape. It will be knocked down in order for me to build the new shop.

roger how's the old knee's and back doing? trust me the quicklift is nice if thats what you can fit but you will be kicking yourself for not putting in a higher ceiling in one area. my 4 post lift brand new and delivered was about $2000. not much more then a quicklift and i originally had bought a 2 post 9000lb lift but found it was a pain to use to stack cars for storage but that lift only cost me a grand used and installed. the trusses can easily be made that way and you wouldn't even notice the loss of storage area above it. never thought i would want a rotisserie till i bought one $850 lbs makes working on the car a whole lot more fun .quick example - i wanted to clean the bottom of the car before i disassembled it flip it 90 degrees took out the old pressure washer and blasted off 90% of all the junk wouldn't have been much fun laying on my back with a torch and scraper again trying to get off all the undercoat
just my .02
A Coke machine and a couple of rocking chairs on that cool looking front porch. Oh, and maybe a few vintage looking product signs to give it that old timey look. That's a great looking shop, I'm jealous.
Great looking plan -radiant floor heat-
I must agree with Cboy with the radiant floor heat 100 % I did my floor last year this time in the shoe box shop I have ,the heating system works great ! No cold feet and clean with no fear of combustibles to worry about as with infra red heaters . I found a Quiteside QVM9 wall mount set up for LPG @ the curb ( a 4000 dollar uint), I put 300' of pex tubing in the 7"+ floor , double vapor barrier , and good insulation . leaving the temp set at 50 for 24/7 one month cost me 72 bucks . Sure glad I took the advice to put the system in and I'm glad I did . My next project in the shop it raise the ceiling now that the lift and floor are done ...
Time for an update. I am finally getting going with this project. I am in the process of clearing the site and will be getting bids for the foundation and gas pump island starting next week. Got the permit from the city week before last and it was not a problem at all. I am also picking out windows and doors.
I was at a loss on the style of door for a while but have decided on these from Overhead Door. It's the Courtyard Collection door and they will be 9' wide and 8' high. They will use rails with a 20" radius that will get them up tight to the 10 foot ceiling but still be able to use standard type operators instead of the expensive side mount units.
Also, I think I have decided to go with the silver Galvalume roof. But, I will stick with the white siding and green trim.
I will use Hardieplank in 8 inch width for siding.
I already had a 400 amp main service panel put on the main house and it is set up to feed 100 amp service to the shop.
I will post pictures as things start to get moving on the project.

Eat, Drink, Play: Get off the beaten path with a snowshoe tour
March 10, 2012
Many popular winter sports in the mountains are expensive and require equipment, training and practice.
Snowshoeing is not one of them.
"If you can walk, you can snowshoe," says Sarah Stirt of the Breckenridge Nordic Center.
The privately-owned Nordic center offers one-, two- and three-hour guided snowshoe tours in and around the scenic and secluded lower areas on Peak 7, below the resort base area, offering newcomers to the High Country an opportunity to see and experience the mountains on their own terms and at their own pace.
Snowshoes diffuse their wearer's weight over a wider surface area, making it possible to tramp over feet of unpacked snow that would otherwise have been hardly more supportive than plain water. Thus, snowshoers can literally leave the beaten track and explore quieter trails and untouched powder stashes.
The experience tends to evoke the inner child, recalling the pure joy that once accompanied school cancellations and entire days spent playing in the snow.
Longer tours with the Breckenridge Nordic Center include the opportunity to learn to "yomp," – that first jump from a snowpacked trail into a snow drift – and to explore the Hallelujah hut, a historic Breckenridge cabin that was rescued and relocated to Peak 7 by the owners of the Breckenridge Nordic Center.
A snowshoe tour can be a vigorous workout punctuated by incredible views of the Continental Divide, local 14,000-foot peaks and the Ten Mile Range, or a laid-back family romp in the snow.
The hike can cover up to three miles, generally with some incline, but guides tailor the length, intensity and content of each private daytime trip to the individual needs and interests of the group.
In addition to being a walking, talking insurance policy against getting lost in what can be a confusing trail system, the guides are also full of interesting information about the forest and the Breckenridge area. While leading groups through the quiet lodge pole forests around Peak 7, guides may go over local ecology, geology, history, snow conditions, navigation and snowshoe techniques, while pointing out the tracks and evidence of local wildlife in the snow. There are few tours in Summit County that cover such a wide range of topics, from the mechanics of an avalanche to the wintertime activities of voles and mice.
The tour is also a great primer for non-skiers looking for an alternative activity that will allow them to be outdoors and enjoy the mountains while the rest of their group is on the slopes. Guides can go over basic trail markers, navigation and snowshoe techniques, preparing novices to make independent excursions later on.
Snowshoeing is also an ideal option for families who are looking to spend some time together after a few days of ski-school separation. The Breckenridge Nordic Center puts special emphasis on families and kids, with special snowshoes that will leave monster tracks in the snow, supplies for s'mores around a fire after a day out in the snow and a nearby sledding hill.
Stirt, a former kindergarten teacher, is the perfect guide for families with young children. With a warm personality and cute sense of humor, she'll entertain the smallest snowshoers with stories about the busy lives of Breckenridge beavers and the importance of the "grandfather and grandmother" trees to the forest.

I would recommend that you avoid the dye sublimation if at all possible. Dyde the material first and then adhere to the neoprene if that is the way to go...
I would recommend that you avoid the dye sublimation if at all possible. Dyde the material first and then adhere to the neoprene if that is the way to go...
splain! splain! so why is dye heat sublimation a not-so-good process? I need to learn... I know nothing about textiles...
Reason it is not good is because the dye willget into the rubber part and then will milk throught to stain your skinor other things.
Well, now we know more about these two neoprene companies. I think I have to search out other neoprene companies. If I can't find one with my specifications, then, we might have to go with option #3. Opt#1=dye sublimation only to get the right color. Opt#2 They will only give us a cut of 1.5mm neoprene with .5mm lycra, and .5mm nylon backing=2.5 mm which is way too thick to sew at the edges(to fold under) You can just tell by dcb's comparision shots on the "bodysuit revelation" thread. You can see that it's thick but not 2.5+2.5mm thick folded under. Option #3 Could be it. Or, I will have to contact other neoprene companies. Those who previously pm'ed me thier addresses will be recieving swatches in the mail, I will mail them out on Tues.
i got ZIA's swatches today...
SH-2 is SO close to the real thing. If that was just a shade or 2 more plum purple - i think we'd have a match. The pix i have from MOM are really hard to tell the color on because of the way the light bounces off the fabric. But it's DEFINITELY that metallic-like finish to it. All the other fabrics are WAY off.
Perhaps you can get a few samples of shades close to SH-2 with the same metallic sheen... we are SO close
Ragrasen is correct on dye sub. Part of the problem is the bleed through. An additional problem is that it is applied with heat. The way that fabric is sublimated to neoprene is by heating up the adhesive so that it bonds 100% to both surfaces (neoprene and fabric). When you go back and reheat it to do other forms of sublimation, you create defects in the bond which will later appear as bubbles or tears. I got this from Glomex when I was screwing with this the first time. That is why I tried screen printing which uses a very low temp. Unfortunately, this is only a 2D topcoat that chips away after wear. If you have inded found a close match on fabric, then you are almost there.
dcb, what do you think of option#3 and it's sheen? Drop some purple and red dye on it or sumthin. I was told that the metallic-like sheen is actually due to the weaving of the fibers. I know option#3 isn't not lycra and neoprene, but it's thick enough material.
btw, option#1 was glomex. So option #1 is out.
wookie- Man, I didn't realize you got that far with glomax. I thought the rep. paula wasn't much help. well, actually, now I can see why, but... I thought she wasn't much help from the get go. But, did she actually gave you neoprene swatches and explain the dye sublimation?
Oh my this is starting to become a very difficult project is it not. And all those Jango's and Boba's thought they had hard Projects. I think Zam is turning out to be just as hard if not even more complex.
Wrangling neoprene companies is tough. They are sooooo specific on what they need to adhere the fabric. So many guidelines and rules! I've learned a lot, but man- I didn't think starting this suit, I would be doing this. I first thought it would be easy as pie, like putting together my greedo suit. I saw KimnCris's zam from afar at cII and thought, Oh, maybe their already in production.. Boy, was I wrong! Then, I think if I am not mistaken, Don Post was bought out by another company. That was probably a bad merger. That puts a zam out fit WAY WAY out of production, my guess. I mean with Jango, you can at least replicate some of Boba's parts and just tweak it a little. Zam is a whole other story.
*fights bout of major depression....*
Yes... this is turning into a major production. But the costume is just so cool! *sighs*
Ok-- Trying to think calmly here. I am really, really close. The only thing that is stopping me right now is that some of the major neoprene companies won't deal with retail sales other than company#2. And their neoprene stock is too thick. So, if/when (I am working on this one) I get a federal id# I can use, then it will open me up to these other neoprene companies. I mean, we have the pantone color, we have the lycra company, and the dyeing company. We have the thickness we want the neoprene to be...It's just a matter of getting the right supplier who can join that type of lycra to the thin neoprene. By the way, two of you will be getting the swatches a little later than I had planned...sorry, ran out of stamps. But you will get 'em so you can see what I am talking about when I say option/co.#1,2,3 etc.
It is settled now. With all the work that is going into this Zam I can not just leave it on a manniquin. So come one come all to Dragon Con 2003. Thjere is a good chace I will do an hour or so in the Zam there if it is finished by then.
i hear ya ragresen. The girls complain that all the good SW costumes are for boys... but they have the advantage of being able to get away w/ wearing the boy costumes w/o anyone thinking twice... and they get all the cool girl costumes too (zam, boushh, aurra, padmé, etc.)
but a boy wearing a SW girl costume would not be good
We could make up a "boy version" of a clawdite... but that may be bordering on the line of über-geek.
Well if I do the guy in Zam my face will get covered by, yes you guessed it a Clawdite Mask. I am still haveing doubt about doing it because well I just am not into the guy doing female characters. I am doing the costume because I liek the character and will definatly have it on a manniquine (spelling?) for display. And I am regretting to have to actually alter Paul's pieces to make them right. But I am going for the over detailed version.
you know, instead of square pieces you guys could have like leather coat tails! a zam tux!
Thing is I think Zam's Custume or Armor was unique to her. We really have no clue what the rest of the Clawdite race dresses in if at all. They are a race that developed shapeshifting as a form od defense against other Races. So for all we know they never wear a thing.
well maybe with that clawdite book coming out.. we'll see some males.
Wookie, Paula from Glomax remembered you! hehe. I had to tell my rep that it- dyesublimation isn't gonna work. She and I were upset together But the hunt will go on! Company #2 is taking her time getting back to me, cause I'm small potatoes. She is telling me that at it's smallest total thickness could be 2mm. Which equals 4mm when it's turned over to be sewn. That's still really thick at the edges. We'd look funny with huge bulging seams. Until I find another neoprene company, I really think that option #3 jumbo spandex is the best, and most inexpensive. We would have the color we want and a thickness that would be nice to sew. It's probably the clost to the right sheen too.
**NEW OPTION** (I am still calling other neoprene companies) But! Suggested by another member here,instead of double lamination, we could go single lamination. That would thin out the plum material by .5mm So that it doesn't get too bulky when sewing. And, since we have to wear a leotard anyway, so that there is black underneath the top halter piece, we could also wear regular thin black stretch pants underneath the neoprene pants so that we wouldn't have to smell like rubber.
Got my samples yeterday! Thanks so much Zam I Am for all your work on this!
First Option #1 - I agree is "perfect" except that it won't work! The thickness and feel of it seem perfect to me - with a better fabric laminated to it of course.
Option #2 (RL-1) would probably be okay as well, again with the right fabric laminated to it.
Option #3 - I dunno... I would say if we can't get anything else to work out, then we use that - but I'd prefer to keep trying with the neoprene if we can.
A question regarding the color - Pantone 5135 - is that matched from pictures or from your visit to MOM? The reason I ask is that it seems more purple than the color I was thinking of, based on photos. My choice was more subdued... closer to Pantone 5215. Color choice SH-2 was pretty darn close to the color, maybe a bit less intense.
Talked to my seamstress Sunday. After looking at the photos and comparing fibers and thickness, she seems to think option #3 is actually better. She says that 1.5mm is good but still a little on the thick side. If you bend the 1.5mm under and compare it to dcb's armpit area "jumpsuit revelation" thread, you will see how the neoprene almost seems too thick at 1.5mm. The Option#3 actually seems "thick enough" but not too thick. Option #3 is also the most affordable. And, we don't have to worry about laminants ruining the dye of the suit. Dcb picked the pantone when he was at MOM with his pantone book and my walmart paint swatches. Remember, even though you can plug in pantone colors into photoshop, your monitor displays are different. If you have a pantone book then-awesome. Sheen and fabric weaving also plays a factor. He gave me a printout match of the color 5135 and compared it with his actual pantone book color to avoid monitor calibration problems. Hopefully everyone gets thier swatches soon and lets me know what they think. Drop some purple dye onto Option#3 and tell me what you think about sheen. Also, fabrics work differently than regular flat colored paper paint swatches. Color lighting at MOM, etc. is also a factor. But 5135 is the closest we've got. SORRY, I WILL NOT FLY TO MOM and BREAK THE PLEXIGLASS... BTW- it definately is nylon-lycra fabric that is on the actual MOM suit, and what we should/will be using.
I still have not recieved my swatches, but The more I look at things and the more I check things for myself I am convienced that Zam I am is on the right path. Option #3 seems the way to go.
Received my swatches today. Thanks zam i am!
After comparing to pics and re-reading this thread again, I think I'm going to agree with MaulMaus.

Sorry they aren't hi rez picks. But, here are the picks of the swatches. Sh-2 is second swatch in from the left on the first picture. Please comment, should I keep on looking for Neoprene companies? Remember, neoprene companies cannot get thinner than 1.5mm. Or, should I stick with Option #3. Thick lycra.
I haven't recieved my swatches, but if I'm understanding this thread correctly, I'm leaning more towards Option #3.
I am on a Lord of the rings kick-- So now we have the fellowship of the body-suits..heheh So far the decision has been equally divided between Option 3, and me looking for more neoprene companies. Remember, I haven't gotten a federal id number yet, so it could take several months for me to get another neoprene company to agree to this. AND, I will not be able to talk to overseas companies. The prices would be astronomical, and they wouldn't want to invest/spend the $$ for me to just to do a test lamination. Option 2 is doable, but a bit too thick on the neoprene side. 2mm folded over is really bunchy. Plus us wearing a leotard under that stuff would heat exhaust us. So, if the fellowship stays together, we could wait to if I come up with any other neoprene companies. Or, we could all decide to just go with the jumbo spandex. But if the fellowship breaks then everyone will be on their own. Cause, it's just not cost effective. Paying over $200.00 per person, just for fabric is ridiculous.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I think that I figured it out. I spoke with the crutchfield tech. today, the one who helped me install the remote start system. Seems that I missed a wire. Before he told me that there was no ignition 2 wire. Today he looked over the diagrams again for my truck and found that there is a ignition 2 wire (white). I asked if not hooked up, would it throw tranny codes and he said it would. So I hooked it up and so far so good.
Before I was either getting tranny codes on the "service engine light" or I was getting pending codes. After making the change I immediately checked for codes. There were none showing and none pending. I'm thinking that that did the trick. I hope at least.
|I took it all apart to check the connections and noticed a couple of the wire threads at the connection we're cut I'm not sure if this would make any difference but I went and bought a new ignition switch and im going to try it again without them quick connections I'm going to solder the wires for the remote start on instead of using quick connectors this is also going to tell me if it was a ignition switch or not so it will be a nice connection all the way through if the problem persists I'm going to unplug the remote start and run it for a day I cant see it be anything wrong with the transmission I parked it for over year and before I parked it everyrhing ran fine I just started driving it recently and I notice a problem
If the remote start was at fault, it would act up when you use the remote feature. It could power up the ignition circuitry to get the car running, but if the trans power circuit does not power up untill you get in the vehicle and actually turn on the key, then it is possible.
Your car probably has 3 ignition power circuits that are all isolated from each other when the key is off. If the remote unit doesnt power up all of them, it is possible that codes could be generated and the trans could go into default mode.
Chances are that is not what is happening, although it is a remote (no pun intended) possibility.
If the problem occurs every time you use the remote start, then it may be the trouble.
If it happens without using the remote start, then the remote module wiring in question probably isnt the issue.
You can unplug the remote module, and then try it for a day, to see if the problem still occurs. That would help you rule it out.
It could be a wiring problem like I said, it could also be the wiring inside the transmission.
What I noticed today. When I put it into gear, it went into gear rough and it was acting up (I had to have the pedal just about to the floor to get moving), like its been doing. I stopped and put it in park. It wasn't showing any codes but it did have codes pending, which were the codes I mentioned above. I cleared the codes anyway and then everything was working fine.
The only thing that I'm thinking now is the connections at the ignition switch that I made for the remote start system. The thing about that is that the install instructions instruct to connect to these wires at the switch, but I used them cheap little quick connectors instead of soldering. Could there just be a weak connection at these points causing less power to run thru them?
Good luck.
Sounds like a wiring problem or a shorted solenoid inside the trans. The wiring runs down the back of the engine over the top of the trans and it could have come loose from the harness retainers, at which point it may have melted on the exhaust. I would inspect the wiring first.
Then you can ohm out the solenoids. You will have to obtain a diagram of the trans circuitry so you can check the solenoids.
Being that the The problem sounds intermittent, ohming the solenoids may or may not prove anything. Intermittent troubles like yours makes me lean towards a wiring problem anyhow. Look around for bare or melted wiring .
Might also be a good Idea to check the plug at the trans, unplug it and inspect it. Maybe it is full of water/corrosion
|S10 Racer
|Have you checked the relays and looked for loose, bad connections?
Throwing tranny codes.
Well, basically I'm throwing a few codes:
p0740- torque converter clutch circuit
p0785- shift/timing solenoid
p1860- solenoid circuit electrical
After I clear the codes they seem to keep pending. This doesn't happen constantly but at least once a day when I go to take off from a stopped position I have to have the pedal almost to the floor just to get it moving. It's seeming like when it does act up I'm missing 1st and OD. At this point I pull over and clear codes, even if there is none to clear, and then turn the truck on and off a few times. It seems to act normal again after that.
After doing some research I found someone having the same exact issue and throwing the same codes. He changed the ignition switch and it worked. It seemed to work for several other people as well.
I change the ignition switch and its still doing what it was doing, which is exactly how the people in my research were explaining it.
Do you think that the ignition switch that I put in was faulty? I can't really see there being anything wrong with the tranny because when its not acting up, it's working fine.
I split out your post on your specific problem. Adding on to an existing thread with a similar problem, the new member does not receive proper answers.
Please describe in some more detail your exact problem so the members can help you.
2002 S-10 transmission problems
Hello all,
I have a 2002 s10 and I'm experiencing the same exact problem and from my research many other people have to. I keep hearing it's the ignition switch, so I changed my ignition switch but I'm still getting this problem. It's not all the time only here and there. When it happens I pull over and turn the truck on and off a few times and for some reason it seems to work and I'm not even sure if that is working or if its a fluke.
What are the chances that the switch I got was a faulty switch?
The only other thing that I can think of is I have my remote start system hooked to a few wires on the switch. But if hooking into the switch wires were the problem I cant see the tranny working here and there like it does, you'd think it just would work at all.
I really need some help with this guys any ideas? Get another swich?
