Half A Game
Ponty's run comes to abrupt halt
4 December 2013 15:34pm
By WRU
Matthew Nuthall crossed for Pontypridd but his side were well beaten by Cross Keys
Cross Keys ended Pontypridd's 30-match unbeaten run as they claimed a magnificent 38-17 win at the home of the defending Principality Premiership champions.
Last year's double winners Pontypridd were 25-8 victors at Carmarthen Quins last Saturday but this time around they were blown out of the water by Keys.
The victory was based on the visitors moving into a healthy 30-5 half time lead. Dan Hodge, Elliot Jones, James Cordy-Reddan and Scott Matthews all crossed for the Keys with Dorian Jones kicking 18 points from the tee.
Matthew Nuthall, Garwyn Smith and Geraint Walsh responded for Pontypridd but there was to be no doubting the winners of this contest.
Dorian Jones opened the scoring for Keys with a snap drop goal and with the home defence under pressure, his side soon crossed for the first try of the day as Hodge finished off an overlap. The conversion was added but Pontypridd hit back with a score from Nuthall.
Keys then replied with a penalty from the inform Dorian Jones but with both sides still well in the game, Pontypridd pressed the self-destruct button. A Dai Flanagan chip ahead was collected by Elliot Jones who ran 40 metres to score with Cordy-Reddan soon adding a quick-fire second after picking up a loose Pontypridd pass.
Dorian Jones converted both scores and dropped a second goal for a comfortable interval advantage.
Needing a second half revival to contest the game, Pontypridd started well with Wales Under 18 centre Smith kicking ahead to score. Numerous replacements followed but the home side's momentum was hit when Craig Locke was yellow carded.
Now with a man advantage, Keys struck for a vital score when a huge shove from their forward pack saw them cross the line, Matthews claiming the score.
Yet another penalty from Dorian Jones pushed Keys further clear and although Pontypridd hit back with a Walsh score, converted by Simon Humberstone, it was not enough to spare them from a heavy defeat.

First, there are accordoing to Laird, 8 cross rhythms in Samba. Figures that need a normal Samba bounce eg Samba Whisks are danced using a 1a2 timing.
Second, Corta Jaca is a completely flat and stationary figure (although it can rotate on the spot). It's danced with the timing of SQQQQQQQQQQ (10 quicks) not just 4.
Third, to complete the correct 4 bar phrasing another bar of music must be danced. This could be a further 4 quicks of Corta Jaca or another figure (or 1/2 figure) with or without using Samba bounce.
So, if you think you can dance Corta Jaca with Samba bounce try it. I think you will find it rather stange to do. Not only that, you will probably be all over the music!

Are there any good pics the ESB helmet decals
Are there any good pics the ESB helmet decals
Last edited by BGHunter; Feb 6, 2011 at 6:26 PM.
I've been convinced for some time that several of the markings were made from rub-on transfer letters.
They're extremely thin and easy to apply. I've used them on my last few helmets and they look great.
Here's a close up of the screen used ESB helmet showing the marking on the front of the right ear.
You can see how the V marking slightly overlaps the sideways D.
As far as the exact font or product number, I can't say for sure. I just bought some that looked close when I did mine.
That is exactly what i needed,
that pic is absolute prof in my opinion
Thank you very much

Thanks Rafal
It does help
Just wondering if anyone has the ability to print custom dry transfers. Or knows of a place to get them done.
I think a small sheet of helmet markings would be really useful.
I messed around with this image and came up with a black and white .bmp image of the marking. Could something like this be used to create a custom transfer?
I think a sheet could include
1) "DV:" marking seen above
2) The 9 small vertical stripes on the upper rt ear
3) The "T" seen inside the large black arch
4) The "double-E" marking on the left ear
Anyone have info on how much it costs to do custom transfers?
its a T with an circle actually

Just curious, are you guys wanting transfers for 'screen accuracy', or is it just because you need a way to get them on your helmet?
Lucksys31 makes nice stencils for these. I use AppleBarrel black and gently brush it on. It doesn't leave any brush strokes or raised edges after its clear coated. The stencils seem to be a hair on the large side, but I did see that he scaled some chest decals for another members 'mini fett' project. So maybe he can do that with these? I need to check into that, actually...

Pm sent
Thanks, Aero!
D2K2, I think it would just eliminate one step in an already-complex paintjob.
With stencils, you have to place them and make sure the edges are really pressed down, seeing how these details are so small. Then paint. Then remove stencils (hoping they don't remove any underlying paint.)
With dry transfers, you just line them up and rub them on. They have a matte finish and are extremely thin.
I plan on using waterslide decal paper for these decals
Wow!! That's awesome to figure all of this out.
Just what i needed too ' you guys rock ' cant wait to post pics of my project
Just messing around some more with the markings.
Here's an isolated image of the 9 small stripes on the right ear.
awesome I'll be right clicking on that hehe
Regarding decals.. I used the stencil sheet attached for most of my decals on my helmet ie the upside down U the black dot and T for the right ear and the chip for the left ear (bottom right on picture) cant remember were i got it from off this website but
i did. I work in a printers so i just ran it off on white matt one sided sticky paper.. then cut out the shapes. If some one could come up with a similar image for the DV: that would be great and i could stick them on too Stencils.pdf


text: I'm Terry, and I have *finally* come around to sign up to the forum. Not exactly new to costuming, as I have a Stormtrooper & Ep III clone, and am in the middle of working on a couple others. Not sure if I'll get around to actually working on either Fett, although I do enjoy seeing a well-done Mandolorian. However, I know there's a ton of great information here (as well as many good people, some familiar & some not), so that's reason enough to sign up. Thanks, and I'll see you around the forums.

By Chris Harris
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a man for the big occasion, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Swedish international is one of Europe's in-form strikers with 15 goals in 19 games and few players are more decorated - Ibrahimovic has won a league title for eight straight years during spells with Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Barcelona and now Milan.
Ibrahimovic's impressive CV also includes two goals for Barcelona against Arsenal in the Champions League in 2010 and Wenger is a big admirer of the man the Gunners must stop at the San Siro on Wednesday night.
"He is a great player," said Wenger. "If you look at his record, at what he has won, he has his own personality based on a strong belief in himself.
"That is a quality at the top level that can sometimes be seen as over-confidence but I don't think he is because he turns up with performances in the big games.
"That's why I believe he was at the Arsenal training ground before his career. Before he moved to Ajax we were interested in him, and he made a great career."
Ibrahimovic is 30 now and a key part of a Milan squad that has a relatively high average age. All the same, Wenger can see similarities in the Rossoneri's philosophy and that of his own club.
"Together we have a very balanced team!" said Wenger. "Basically they have the same philosophy, that means they look after their players, they have a family attitude towards the way they treat the players, and we have exactly the same.
"They do it by keeping their players a bit longer and we have done it with some younger players but basically the philosophy is not so different."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Community Standards
Wheaton College is dedicated to fostering a living and learning environment that promotes discussion and collaboration between and among men and women -- an environment that empowers and enriches every student. We are a community committed to cultural diversity. We value and affirm that we are unique and different -- in ethnicity, in sexual orientation, in lifestyle. To foster and encourage such an environment, the students of Wheaton College have developed an Honor Code. The Community Standards have been formulated to reinforce the ideals and principles encompassed in the Wheaton College Honor Code.
All matriculated students at Wheaton College are considered members of the Wheaton community. Guests and visitors of all students are likewise considered members of the Wheaton community while they are on the Wheaton College campus and are expected to adhere to the Wheaton Community Standards and the Honor Code. Wheaton students are responsible for the conduct of their guests and visitors and are expected to address any conduct that violates the Wheaton Community Standards or the Honor Code.
Expectations and Responsibilities
As Wheaton's Honor Code mandates, all members of the Wheaton community are expected to behave in ways which demonstrate care and respect for the personal dignity, rights and freedoms of all members of the community, and to demonstrate care and respect for college property and the property of others. As members of the Wheaton community, we all share responsibility for safeguarding the rights and freedoms of other members and for maintaining community standards.
Specifically, these shared expectations and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- to observe the Honor Code and the Wheaton Community Standards and to comply with appropriate requests to adhere to them
- to accept responsibility for and monitor the behavior of guests and visitors
- to address violations of the Honor Code and the Wheaton Community Standards
Wheaton College assumes that students are adults and responsible for their own conduct. The fact that the college takes proactive steps to address violations, actions, or activities that may pose a risk to the well-being of the community does not absolve students from taking responsibility for their own behavior.
Unacceptable Behavior
The Honor Code and the Wheaton Community Standards are predicated on a concern for the welfare of the individual and of the Wheaton community as a whole. Behavior that jeopardizes the health and safety of community members, or intrudes upon their rights and freedoms, is unacceptable.
Physically Endangering Behavior
Physically endangering behavior includes any deliberate, negligent or reckless actions that endanger the physical safety or well-being of any community member (including self-endangerment).
Some examples of such actions include:
- physical assault
- possession or the use of weapons, ammunition, explosives or incendiary devices
- tampering with fire protection systems, or any conduct that creates a fire hazard
- the setting of fires
- the possession or sale of illegal drugs
- speeding or reckless driving
- the throwing of objects from windows or roofs or in any other dangerous manner
- violation of the college Alcohol and Drug Policies
- violation of the college Sexual Misconduct Policy

Grilled Apple Crisp RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 2
The first time I tasted this old-fashioned apple crisp, i couldn't believe it was made on the grill. Topped with a scoop of ice cream, the warm cinnamony dessert will earn you rave reviews.
Recommended: 45 Surprising Foods You Can (and Should!) Grill
- 10 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 8 medium)
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- Vanilla ice cream, optional
- Place the apple slices on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24x12 in.). In a small bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
- Fold foil around apple mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until apples are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Serve warm with ice cream if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

Each year, PwC's Annual Global CEO survey gives business leaders, governments and the world's business community a unique insight into the vision and decisions of the global CEO. As in past years, we have extended and deepened the research for PwC's 16th Annual Global CEO Survey by including a selection of interviews with senior decision-makers in governmental organisations across the world.
So, what are we exploring this year? Change and complexity are a constant challenge. Disruptive events, both 'black' and 'grey' swan, seem to be happening faster than ever and are changing the nature of risk which needs to be managed, in both the public and private sectors.
This report sets out how businesses are adapting their approaches in these uncertain times, including their priorities for government, and discusses in turn how governments can:


text: rafs,Welcome to the world of being a Beek and the forum, lots of great folks on this forum willing to share their advice and experience, by all means, take advantage of it. If you haven't figured it out already, you'll learn that being a Beek is more Art than science, so you'll find lots of strong opinions on issues that don't necessarily have one "right" answer. The important thing is to find what works for you.That being said...And not trying to rain on your parade...but I'm curious why you decided to go TBH? I'm only in my first year myself but it seems that while TBH are a very popular trend they can be a little more difficult to experience success with...especially for newbies.Good Luck! :)

Welcome Aboard James..Glad to have you.
I second the Idea of getting out on a boat somehow..It will either hook ya or book ya.
Well at least you didn't lose any money on the deal. It's kinda like the little Newport 16 I had my eyes on. It was only $400 but it needed a LOT of work and I just didn't have the time or the place to fix her up. Turns out someone else on here bought it and is already further then I would have been by spring.
Now I've got my eyes on a US Yachts 25' but it all depends on 1. the wife, and 2. whether I can find a place to keep it.

|Good to hear James... Let us know when you start looking for a boat of your own...
Hey Sailnetters, Thanks for all the great advise. And for those who thought some of these guys were being a little rough on me it's okay, I can take it.
Well, I'm not going to give up on sailing but I have given up on the C27. It left my shop on a trailer yesterday bound for Southeast Georgia. The gentleman that took it off my hands has plenty of time, money and know how to put back her in the water by spring.
Truthfully, I am thankful for the opportunity to spend a little time with the boat even though it I never seen it float. I learned a lot about the actual space there is in such a vessel as well as a small look into how sail boats are designed and function. I got my money back plus a couple hundred so I'm not out a thing. I look at it as my first lesson in the world of sailing.
For now I'll save my money continue hanging around sailnet.com. Lots to learn here.
Fair winds,
James In Alabama.
Having owned 6 sailboats 2 of which were new and having had the good fortune of being in and active 19 boat J24 fleet in the 80s i new what i was getting into
I looked at every J24 in the Northeast and past on most of them as they were overpriced because they had a 10000 dollar bottom/keel job OR they were so far gone it was not practical from a time or money standpoint as i really wanted to be sailing it in 2008 NOT 2010
It took well over 100 hours of crazy hard work this spring just to get the boat to were it was safe to put into the water and there is just no way a newbie would have realized the pool hose hacked onto the sink drain would have sunk the boat on a LONG starboard tack
Or realized if they did not put the rudder in there Bridgeport and make the tiller hole round again then went over to there lathe to make a bushing and washers that it would have failed
So i got a boat for with a FULL set of one season race sails and a FULL set of everyday sails a well as and outboard still in the box ,the PO hurt his back and the boat sat in the driveway for 4 years
A J24 friend i made this season bought one of the hulls i had passed on the sails are CRAP the hull has blisters the deck is so bad the stanchions have cracked through it leaving exposed core
The list of FUBAR is so long and his repair skills are so lacking it is a fiasco and to tell you the truth i would have just kept windsurfing or bought a used Laser before i took on that boat
So i really cant understand how you can be so hard on someone who asked advise because i can tell you right now with the missing inboard that boat is going to price OUT OF CONTROL before it ever sees the water

BTW What part of Alabama are you in? I might be able to help get that boat off your hands if that's the route you choose.

If you don't love the boat, don't even bother trying to restore it... all you'll do is botch the restoration and make it that much harder for someone who will love the boat to fix her.
Sailing is something we have in our blood and the work involved is a labour of love. I am not rich by any stretch but I really wanted a sailboat and all I could afford was a MacGregor so I bought it brand spanking new. It is still a lot of work and major cost for accessories and it never stops, the time work & money invested I mean. I spend every extra penny and every extra minute I have with with my boat and have absolutely no regrets. You could not find a drug legal or illegal that can do for you what an afternoon on the water with just the sounds of the wind and water will do. The entrance fee is a passion for sailing, the rest is just stuff. If you don't have it in your heart you don't have it at all.
Go charter or rent or bum a day of sailing somewhere to discover what the end result of your efforts will be and decide from there.

I'm just curious on "how" recognized ICAL is in other countries. The primary consideration of where I want to move and teach at is Japan but Taiwan is another option I'm looking at. Does anyone know how well ICAL is recognized in either of these places? Also, I know the TEFL is a high priority in Taiwan(from what I've read) but what about in Japan?
I'm currently in school for a degree in Computer Programming. I'm in my 5th quarter of receiving my Associate degree. I was considering getting my TEFL and then when I finish my Associate degree, moving to Japan or Taiwan and do my Bachelors online(which I know I can do because my college has that option).
On a side note, I came across this website: HESS
I was wondering if they are any good or if anyone has used them before. They require that you either have a Bachelor degree or an Associate Degree with a TEFL Certification.

Well, I woke up early today and I decided to go out to the garage and start cutting out my mando armour. I had earlier bought some trashcans from Walmart (one sale for $7 each, woot), and I traced my WoF templates on them. About 45min. later, I had the front chest armour cut out. The armour is still rough, and needs to be cleaned up some. But, it's a good start. I think I may need to trim it down a little bit. I'm 5' 8", but I'm a little slimmer with an athletic build.
Here's what I have so far, on my old duct tape chest. Haven't had anything to put on him since I cut down on cosplaying.
When thinking about my mando, I went back to thinking about the origins for Boba Fett. They wanted someone mysterious and menacing, to stand there and hold their rifle like Clint Eastwood...like Clint Eastwood, that part kinda stuck with me. I love speghetti westerns, and I love Clint Eastwood. So, after a few days it hit me...Lee Van Cleef! He's another one of my favourite actors, and one of the roles of his I loved best was Colonel Douglas Mortimer (opposite Clint Eastwood's "Man with No Name") in For a Few Dollars More. So, I am gonna go off of that idea, and base the mando around that.
I'm going to have a single Westar-34, holstered infront by my belly/codpiece, like Colonel Mortimer. I may try to elongate the barrel and add a detachable rifle stock, to make it similar to his firearm. Also, some random rifle I have yet to design. The armour is going to be a mix of Jango/ESB Boba, with a little bit of custom work thrown in. For the jet pack, I LOVE the Jump Trooper pack from the PS2 Force Unleashed. So, I am going to do that. Here's the concept art for it, Merr-Sonn JT-12 Imperial.
Only thing I am really stuck on...is the colour scheme. I have a navy blue military jump suit, but I am not sure if I want to use that. Van Cleef's characters were usually known as the "Man in Black", so I may just do black with other darker shades. Who knows...lol. I DO know the right shoulder pad is going to be royal purple with a gold pattern on it. As a tribute to my mom, she's alive but this year has been pretty hard for her. She had corrective surgery on her foot, but because of the bones and other things the pins in her toes and foot aren't setting...and, now she can't really move around on her foot that well. If the next operation doesn't do some good, she is most likely going to be permanently disabled. I've always been pretty close to her, so that's something for her on my suit.
At the moment, I'm kinda at a standstill. The printer is out of ink, going to have to wait on the other templates. The fiance surprised me and printed out the chest templates, because she knew our printer was out of ink. And, she wanted to help me with the project. How sweet of her!
I'll update this as I get more done. Any ideas or comments are welcome and appreciated.

Science and Religion: 5 Questions is a collection of 33 interviews based on five questions presented to some of the world's most influential and prominent philosophers, scientists, theologians, apologists, and atheists. Edited by Gregg D. Caruso, Corning Community College associate professor of philosophy, the book explores some of the most important open questions, problems, and challenges confronting the relationship between science and religion as well as the prospects for progress. It was published by Automatic Press, an imprint of Vince, Inc. Press, and is available now through the publisher and online book retailers.
"The book asks some of society's greatest minds to explore questions that have piqued curiosities and challenged the foundation of our beliefs for centuries," said Caruso, whose inspiration for the book came from his longstanding interest in the relationship between science and religion as well as his own work on consciousness and human agency. "The contributors include influential and prominent philosophers, scientists, theologians, apologists, and atheists, including a Nobel Prize winning physicist, three Templeton Prize winners, two 'Humanist of the Year' winners, the Most Influential Rabbi in America (Newsweek, 2012), the leading American expert on Tibetan Buddhism (The New York Times), a National Humanities Medal winner, a National Medal of Science winner, a Star of South Africa Medal winner, a Carl Sagan Award winner, a National Science Board's Public Service Medal winner, a MacArthur Fellow, a Lakatos Award winner, an Erasmus Prize winner, a Friend of Darwin Award winner, a Distinguished Skeptic Award winner, the first Muslim to deliver the prestigious Gifford Lectures, and many more."
Steven Pinker, noted Harvard professor and author, says Science and Religion: 5 Questions is a collection of "provocative thoughts on the most profound question of our time (or any time) by an all-star cast of thinkers."
The book explores such questions as:
- Are science and religion compatible when it comes to understanding cosmology (the origin of the universe), biology (the origin of life and of the human species), ethics, and the human mind (minds, brains, souls, and free will)?
- Do science and religion occupy non-overlapping magisteria?
- Is Intelligent Design a scientific theory?
- How do the various faith traditions view the relationship between science and religion?
- What, if any, are the limits of scientific explanation?
"Science and Religion: 5 Questions was written for general audiences, reading and discussion groups, professional philosophers, scientists, theologians, and apologists," said Caruso. "As it happens, though, it is also well suited for courses in science and religion, philosophy of religion, and apologetics."

Lidded bowl with the Iguana-Jaguar eviscerating humans, circa AD 500
Fiery Pool: The Maya and the Mythic Sea
On view March 27, 2010 to July 18, 2010
Located in the: Special Exhibition Galleries
Surrounded by the sea in all directions, the ancient Maya viewed their world as inextricably tied to water. More than a necessity to sustain life, water was the vital medium from which the world emerged, gods arose and ancestors communicated. Over 90 works, many never before seen, offer exciting new insights into Maya culture that focus on the sea as a defining feature of the spiritual realm and the inspiration for the finest works of art. Fiery Pool was organized by Daniel Finamore, The Russell W. Knight Curator of Maritime Art and History at the Peabody Essex Museum and Stephen D. Houston, The Dupee Family Professor of Social Science and Professor of Archaeology at Brown University. The exhibition is scheduled to travel to the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, and the Saint Louis Art Museum.
This exhibition, organized by the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Mass., was made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Because democracy demands wisdom. Additional support provided by ECHO (Education through Cultural and Historical Organizations). Exhibition supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

Harvard University Chief Diversity Officer and Special Assistant to the President Navigating Identity in Public Speaking Workshop Series 6-7:30PM Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Cason Room, Taubman 102 This workshop aims to address the implicit and explicit biases that we as audience members experience, and how to mitigate them. We will consider how knowledge of biases may mitigate their effects, and other mechanisms to prevent judgment. This workshop will focus on what informational content we as audience members may be missing because of our judgments or distractions, and strategies to focus on content over presentation. Our aim throughout is for these workshops to focus on concrete strategies for dealing with biases rather than on the root causes of those biases.

Al-Awlaki was a U.S.-born Islamic militant cleric who became a prominent figure with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the network's most active branch. He was involved in several terror plots in the United States in recent years, using his fluent English and Internet savvy to draw recruits to carry out attacks. President Obama signed an order in early 2010 making him the first American to be placed on the "kill or capture" list.

GW BUSH made it LEGAL with laws passed after 911
Let's see, TERRORIST Tim McVeigh or 169 innocent fellow AMERICANS....... :?A no brainer in my mind: Fire up the drone. Lock and load.BTW… YES the government does have the right to kill terrorists….GW BUSH made it LEGAL with laws passed after 911.
This whole silly argument smells of anti Obama-ism to me.
And Yes, it is FINE for the government to take out terrorists like McVeigh without due process when there are laws superseding that.
And Yes, terrorists should be taken out for the greater good.
We are still in the war on terrorism in case anyone fell asleep
If this would have happened under Bush, you wouldn't have given it a second thought. Our President killed Bin Laden and he killed a traitor who was desperately trying to kill his own countrymen in a WAR we are fighting. Wake up!
... Tell that to the weavers. They tracked and harassed them for months, then activated an action to get it over with. Seeing his dog... shot to death by masked intruders... Sammy Weaver, 14, fired back in fear for his life. The 4 ft., 11" tall youngster was... shot in the back as he turned to run for home.... killed by an agent of the federal government.Cradling her 10-month-old daughter in her arms, Vicki Weaver stood in the doorway of her home... unaware that she herself had only seconds to live. In an instant a bullet tore into Vicki Weaver's face, blew through her jaw and severed her carotid artery. The bullet was fired from 200 yds. away by an agent of the federal government...
... Our President killed Bin Laden...
... and he killed a traitor ...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Something i found helpful was an exhaust fan in the garage to help remove noxious fumes from the car and the mechanic lol. it also helps remove the heat from a hot car that the good insulation will keep in the garage for a long time on a warm day. The direction my garage sits causes the prevailing winds to blow into the garage doors and trap exhaust (even from cars sitting on the pad outside if the door is open) and chemical fumes in the garage, without the fan it takes a long while to clear out. Also lots of lights (us old blind people can't see anything without them).
r-30's worth the extra
My shop is a metal building an I have r-30 in the walls and ceiling. The inside walls were done with siding metal also. There is an extra benefit of the r-30, it really makes the place quiet to work in.
I have floor heat which is the best thin I have ever done as it costs little and keeps the place warm and equipment also. Summer I keep the door closed and it place keeps cool. I was going to use AC but didn't need it or the expense, I just use a dehumidifier.
The thing I would do different is insulate next to the roof and then the attic storage would stay warm in the winter, I put the insulation between the ceiling and the attic. I use an exhaust fan in the attic that comes on at 85 degrees, and it runs in the afternoons.
Since I'm still trying to finish mine, I'll chime in on this....
1ownerT has it right with the thicknesses of your walls. 2x4 construction means a 3 1/2 inch batt. Nothing thicker. My garage is getting R-11 on the walls and the ceiling, vapor barrier (.2 mil.), and then 3/8" OSB over that. Pictures are in my project gallery. Somewhere in there.
Couple of things to really remember have already been listed, but I'll re-state them. First, you must adequately vent the attic to rid that area of excess heat and moisture. I know theres guides on how much venting you need, but if you go to a local Home Depot, Lowes, or Menards, they can tell you how much venting you need. Just have the full garage dimensions when you go.
Secondly, before you button the walls up, best thing to do is run all the wiring you think you may need. It's a real pain to pull it back apart to run another circuit after the wall is finished. Trust me on this. I've been there, done that.
Lastly, you did not mention if your garage is detatched or not. If it is attatched, you may need to have drywall put up between the house and the garage to meet your local building codes. Most areas that I've heard have that as a requirement in new construction.
In a while, Chet.
Keep in mind that, if you insulate it, you have a "Man law" responsibility to keep it cool in there in the summer and warm in the winter. LOL
The insulation will make a difference. You have to remember that it will also keep the heat in during the summer months, if you let it get too hot in there. My garage is 34'X24', with an addition that is 24'X16'. The addition is completely insulated, and has a window AC unit in it.The AC unit is electronic, like most of the newer ones, I guess. It has the ability to keep the room at a certain temp. The thing runs very little to keep it cool. The other section of the garage would cost me a fortune to cool or heat, without any insulation in there. Even though there is a drywall ceiling in there, it gets so hot, you can feel the heat coming from it. I have just added an attic fan to cool the attic off. One day I will have the money to insulate that side. Just need to find a reason to buy insulation for the house, so I can buy too much. LOL
The R-value will depend on the wall thickness, and the manufacture of the insulation.
3 1/2" R-11 to R-15
5 1/2" R-19 to R-21
You should use a vapor barrier, walls and ceiling.
When I built my garage I used 3 1/2" R15 in the walls and the first layer in my trusses was the same with 8" R-30 on top of it giving me R-45 in the ceiling. If at all possable you should vent the space above your ceiling, helps to prevent heat build-up.
|fiberglass batt is the cheapest but you could get the R32 foam board insulation that has the foil on it, R 32 I think is 2" thick I think, cut it to fit in between the studs and it would be easier to put up. wish I had a real garage, I'v got a portable tent garage, that is a light wave oven in direct sunlight, awsome in the winter ( 70* daytime in the sun ) but it's 10-15* hotter in there than outside year round, and It's blazing in there in the summer with the door closed, working on my '51 Chevy is sometimes more of a chore than a hobby I enjoy but, I keep my mind on the finished product and that keeps me going on it.
I insulated my barn shortly after it was finished in 1985. I used the 3" batting (an R-19 I think?) in the walls and the 8" attic blanket (R-30) between the upper & lower sections. It feels like the barn has A/C on hot days if you keep the doors and windows closed to keep the heat out.
If I leave the stairs open you can feel the heat radiating down from upstairs so I keep the upstairs closed off from the main floor.
I want to do the garage at my girlfriend's house when I can. I know it'll make it a lot nicer out there for me.
Yep...fiberglass batt. At least R-19 in the walls and R-30 in the ceiling. With the garage insulated well, you keep it shut up with minimal light coming in, you go out into the garage on an 85 degree day, it will feel like it is air conditioned. My garage is well insulated and on a hot, humid day, is probably 10-15 degrees cooler until I open a door or two up. Besides that, the insulation will pay for itself in a year or two depending on how much time you spend in the garage. And with the high prices of heating nowadays.....
In the walls and ceiling. Go as thick as you can depending on what the walls and ceiling are framed with. Fiberglass bat is probably the most cost effective.
Do any additional wiring before you seal the walls up.
Garage Insulation
Fellas, my garage gets blazing hot. I just moved in to my new home. There is no drywall whatsoever and I am thinking this is my golden opportunity to put some insulation.
Where should of place it and what kind do you all suggest? Thanks!

This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report," as Israel celebrated Jerusalem Day, the Arabs and Palestinians turned up the heat. Mahmoud Abbas and the ruling Fatah party said there will be no Palestinian State without possession of East Jerusalem. They also want the Temple Mount to be administered by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (the group of 57 Muslim states that refuse to recognize the existence of Israel). The OIC foreign ministers meeting in Damascus apparently agreed. President Obama is preparing to introduce his peace initiative based on the 2002 Saudi plan, but with ominous twists. However, both Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu declared on Monday that Jerusalem will never again be divided.
In a recent poll conducted by the Centre for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University, 74% of Israelis say they don't think the U.S. will stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. That's apparently why 51% of Israelis want Israel to strike Iran's nuclear facilities now. And don't hold out hope that a new president in Iran will ease the tension. One of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's major challengers in the June 12 presidential election is the former head of the Revolutionary Guards. He says that if Israel threatens, he'll stop them "with one strike." It brings to mind the old saying, "Out of the frying pan and into the fire!"
Well, North Korea's at it again. Kim Jong-il must need money for a new shipment of his beloved cognac. Whenever North Korea is heading into a new round of negotiations or is in need of some quick cash, the Dear Leader explodes a nuclear test device or fires off some new missiles. Of course, the West scurries around, wringing its hands and muttering vague, indefinable threats, but, in the end, we give him more food, fuel, and funds. It would almost seem to be a game, if it weren't for that pesky Electromagnetic Pulse threat hanging over our heads. It seems that every test North Korea (and Iran, for that matter) conducts fits right into the design parameters for an EMP attack on the U.S., South Korea, or Japan. That makes it a bit difficult to just ignore the spoiled brat!
When the world's six wealthiest men met at Jekyll Island, Georgia, in 1910, the result was the creation of the world's greatest criminal enterprise: The Federal Reserve. Earlier this month, seven of the world's wealthiest people convened another secret meeting. The New York gathering was called by Bill Gates. Ostensibly, it presented an opportunity for these seven to present and promote their favorite charitable causes so they could pool their resources and really do some good in the world. However, according to the London Times, when all was said and done, the group decided that the world's Number One problem was population control. And, apparently, Bill Gates has decided that the world's population should be capped at 8.3 billion. Obviously, that means that in the next few years, criteria must be established and a mechanism put in place to decide who will be allowed to be born and who must go. If these seven are successful in putting their menacing plans in action, we may someday look back upon the creation of the Federal Reserve with a benign nostalgia!
Finally, atheists in Indiana weren't able to place derisive advertising on buses in their home state, but they were welcomed to do so in Chicago. As a result, Chicagoans are now learning that, "In the beginning, man created God." They're also being informed that, "You can be good without God." But as disturbing as that effort is, it doesn't hold a candle to sinister developments in San Diego. A pastor and his wife have been holding Bible studies in their home. The small, weekly meetings usually consist of about 15 guests. They have a meal, share some fellowship and scripture, then pray. Recently, they were visited and questioned about the meetings by San Diego county employees. Later, they were informed that they must stop hosting the studies or prepare to do environmental and traffic impact studies, as well as make application for major use permits. All told, those demands could cost them many thousands of dollars. You don't have to hold a Ph.D. to realize the chilling effect this could have on home Bible studies and home cell groups across the nation. The pastor and his wife have enlisted the help of The Western Center for Law & Policy to fight for their -- and our -- First Amendment rights.
Folks, things are starting to get serious right here in the good ol' US of A. If San Diego succeeds in shutting down this home Bible study, then Christians and churches across the country are in for a rough time. These brothers and sisters need our fervent prayer and support. God promises that He will fight for us, but we need to get engaged and remain engaged through intercession and by defending our Constitutional rights that are now being assaulted on a daily basis!
Don't miss this week's Report on TBN, Daystar, Inspiration (cable only), CPM Network, various local stations, The Hal Lindsey Report (Check it out, it's brand-new!) or HisChannel - Christian TV.
God Bless You,

Is this bilge pump wiring as bad as I think?
Scotch Kote - that's the stuff!
Broco rods takes me back. We used to use them to cut 1/2" plate on deck - a VERY interesting experience..... That was before the days when going to the bathroom required a Job Safety Analysis.

This was good for 10,000' of seawater if done right so it should work in a bilge...... The liquid tape was to get all the air out of t.
at first i was really scared about getting shocked but it never happened
Re: Is this bilge pump wiring as bad as I think?
I've had one of the Ultra switches for about 16 years with great results. I never thought much about it until last month, hanging upside-down in a friend's bilge in rough seas trying to fix a flapper that was getting stuck in the "pump" position every hour or so.
For a bilge alarm - a completely independent battery-operated one is a good idea. I picked up a 9V one a long time ago - the battery/buzzer goes anywhere and the float I just epoxied to the side of the bilge. Would be easy enough to make one up. Just an extra layer of safety in case my neighbor accidentally kicks my shore power cord and a hose rots out at the same time and no one notices it pumping for three or four days. (I'm not paranoid if it could really happen, right?)
Re: Is this bilge pump wiring as bad as I think?
You didn't mention if the strip is on the Pos or Neg side of the circuit (a pictures worth a thousand words BTW). Sounds like in an emergency situation it could be submerged, (potentially leading to a bigger emergency where the entire boat is submerged!). If it is positive, would this short it out (I don't know, had never thought about it)?
In any case, IMO, cutting crimping/soldering and waterproofing wires is easy enough. I want all wiring related to my bilge sealed. Bilge pumps and switches can be problematic enough, even when properly wired. No sense complicating the issue!
Regarding a second pump: I installed a diaphragm pump as a bilge maintenance pump. Worked out well. Search for my thread here if interested.
There is both positive and negative wiring (labeled) on the strip. I had it mounted just under the highest part of the sole (there is a 6" elevated area at the base of the companionway stairs that is above most of the sole) and above the highest point of the batteries. If the batteries are submerged Far Cry would have about 4' of water in her bilge, water over most of her sole and probably hundreds of gallons of water inside. At that point I believe I would have far greater concerns than whether the terminal strip was submerged. This system was in place for about 6 years and made trouble shooting and replacing the float switch very easy. I resprayed the terminal strip after installing the new conductors. There was no visible corrosion and it was still shiny. If one had to respray it every time a pump or switch failed, I could live with that. It may not work in other situations but I feel it was the best solution for me.
I do not have a simple way to measure humidity above and below the sole nor do I really care. According to the NWS this time of year the humidity is in the 90% range so I doubt another possible 10% will make much of a difference.
I no longer own Far Cry or I'd be glad to take a photo to post if there was further confusion. I do appreciate that it does not meet ABYC standards. If I had the smallest safety concern, I wouldn't have done it.

Interesting side tips: When connecting to terminal strips we never used heat shrink on terminals because they could get contaminated with salt water and then corrode through unseen. Also we never used ring terminals, always spades. This is counter-intuitive but it is MUCH easier to find a loose connection where the wire has actually fallen off than an intermittent open circuit caused by a loose ring terminal. If we could only get ring terminals we would snip them open before use.

Re: Is this bilge pump wiring as bad as I think?
I don't think exposed circuits in the bilge is normal practice in the marine industry. I certainly have not seen it.
"220.127.116.11 Current-carrying conductors shall be routed as high as practicable above the bilge water level and other areas where water may accumulate. If conductors must be routed in the bilge or other areas where water may accumulate, the connections shall be watertight."
"Shall be water tight" pretty much excludes any sort of bus bar. Adhesive lined heat shrink butts are a great watertight connection that hold up, long term in a bilge.. Heck they've been proven, 100% submerged, in water wells for nearly 35 years....

Hmmm. Looks interesting. Thanks for that. Always looking for the "ultimate" switch!
Also strange that they do not mention the LED on the top of the switch on that .gif, but there is an LED on the top of the switch in my bilge.
Full disclosure; this is the switch that I have:

So I'm out fixin to run my woodspliter for a bit & the mail man pulls in the driveway instead of just filling the box with hospital bills.
I thought oh boy I'm getting some backordered gun parts.
Instead he leans out the window & says Hey Brad, Steve up at the feedmill tells me you build AK's & I wondered if you would sell me one !!
I said yeah, if you will stop bringing me bills !!
No parts for me either today...........
I told him I never sell guns I put together & please don't tell anyone I have guns at all.
These are crazy times i tell ya !!

It's not easy to design a handsome building, no matter what its type. You have to get so many elements just right if you want it to rise above the mediocre or mundane. You have to nail the usual to-do list of massing, scale, proportion, and detail. But great buildings usually have another thing going for them too: a great skin. The best ones are clad in an attractive material, with details resolved in a skillful, nuanced way. Says Sebastian Schmaling, AIA, principal of Milwaukee-based Johnsen Schmaling Architects, "It's the dress of the building—the thing people see first; the thing they want to touch."
A few years ago, this magazine examined intriguing new cladding specs gaining traction—Cor-Ten steel and Parklex among them—and some evergreens (copper and zinc, for example) making a comeback. Today, new options are emerging faster than it takes the ink to dry on your construction drawings. Figuring out which options will endure takes diligence, patience, and ingenuity.
clad tidings
For firms like Johnsen Schmaling, cladding provides an opportunity to explore the possibilities of what structure can be. "We sometimes work backwards," Schmaling admits. "We have an image of the building in mind and then find something to match. We have some of the craziest ideas of what we want to put on the building, but then we get a reality check."
Reality check notwithstanding, Johnsen Schmaling will often consider unusual or unlikely materials, such as CYRO Industries' Acrylite translucent acrylic sheets. "We wanted to use it as cladding on a small house" and backlight it "to create a glowing cube," Schmaling explains. "But the product moves a lot, so it's hard to control the joints" when it's used as siding. One material the firm has had luck with is Baq+—a high-density resin panel faced with natural wood. According to Prodema, its Spanish manufacturer, Baq+ is coated with an acrylic finish to stand up to harsh environments. Each panel measures 96 inches by 48 inches and comes in five colors.
Architect Sebastian Mariscal, principal of an eponymous studio in San Diego, also spends a fair amount of time researching materials for his buildings, and he's particular in what he expects from them. "For me," he says, "the skin has to be light. I don't believe in heavy or wet skin, like stucco. It should be thin, lightweight, and dry."
Mariscal's search has led him to such modern classics as wood, stainless steel, and Cor-Ten, but his new favorite comes from GranitiFiandre, an Italian manufacturer with a U.S. office in Itasca, Ill. Produced as part of the company's Geologica series, NewStone engineered stone is thin, lightweight, and strong, says Mariscal. The tiles come in sizes measuring 12 inches by 24 inches and 12 inches and 24 inches square.
Other architects opt for more familiar materials but put a new spin on them to update their looks. Jill Bouratoglou, RA, and her husband, John, wanted fiber-cement siding on their Brooklyn, N.Y., home, so they clad it with 4-foot-by-8-foot Cembonit panels. "We wanted some masonry to fit the neighborhood," Jill explains, "but we're modernists, so we opted for the [large] cement boards. They're lightweight and durable and allowed us to layer the building with traditional brick." Louisville, Ky.-based Cement Board Fabricators manufactures Cembonit in eight prefinished colors (including granite, jade, and pearl) in sheets as large as 4 feet by 10 feet.
A recent entry in the exterior cladding market is PaperStone XP rainscreen cladding from Hoquiam, Wash.-based KlipTech Bio Composites, which manufactures paper-based countertop surfacing of the same name. According to company founder and vice president Joel Klippert, the FSC-certified cladding is made from up to 100 percent postconsumer recycled paper, contains an aluminum oxide for durability, and has a UV inhibitor to prevent fading. It can be machined and installed like wood in 4-foot and 5-foot widths; 8-foot, 10-foot, and 12-foot lengths; and thicknesses of 3/8 inch or ½ inch. Thirteen colors, including denim and slate black, are available.
One product on the rise here in the United States actually originated in the Netherlands. Trespa International's Meteon is a decorative exterior cladding made from thermosetting resins reinforced with wood fiber and laminated under high pressure and heat. The moisture- and UV-resistant panels are particularly well-suited for rainscreen applications, the company says. Panels can be speced in three standard sizes (60 inches by 120 inches, 73 inches by 100 inches, and 73 inches by 143 inches) and thicknesses of up to ½ inch. Color options are extensive, because the material can be manufactured in dark and light neutrals, midtones, wood décors, and even metallics.
Indianapolis-based Citadel Architectural Products also manufactures a metallic cladding suitable for exterior applications. Panel 15 is a prefinished composite panel comprised of a textured aluminum skin laminated to Douglas fir exterior-grade plywood. A fiberglass-reinforced kraft/foil scrim backer steadies the panel and acts as a moisture barrier. Panel 15 comes in a variety of texture finishes and sizes of up to 5 feet by 10 feet.
Yet another option is true stainless steel from Millennium Tiles in Elkhorn, Wis. The company's 15-inch-by-9 1/8-inch corrosion-resistant tiles are constructed from 75 percent recycled materials and are protected by a 50-year warranty. They can be produced in their natural color state or subjected to a special process that creates permanently chip-, fade-, and peel-resistant finishes, including amber bronze, slate, and custom colors.
In some cases, exciting new options are right in plain sight. When Steven Ehrlich, FAIA, was designing his house in the Los Angeles area, he wanted to clad it in something unique. "One of the hopes I had was that the materials would not need maintenance, coatings, or paint and would not need to be resurfaced," the Culver City, Calif.-based architect says. His search led him to Cor-Ten steel and an unlikely option: Trex composite decking from Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. "It's made from recycled plastic and wood, so it's sustainable," Ehrlich says. "It won't need paint or oil, and there are no splinters." He also appreciates the fact that the material will fade slightly over time. "I like products where I can see the process of weathering," he says.
thorns in your siding
Having an opportunity to use alternative materials is exciting, but such explorations and experimentations come with caveats. "Cost is often the big driver," says Terry A. Willis, AIA, a senior associate at Denver-based 4240 Architecture. "But context is huge too. We [prefer] to design buildings that fit the area, so we often can't use the materials we'd like."
Although his firm investigates all the hip materials, Willis says it's important for architects to consider how a material will hold up in a project's regional climate before specing something unconventional. "With our harsh sun and high freeze-thaw cycles, materials undergo a lot of stress," he warns.
