Intron Moment
When I get off the phone with my wife I think
Of DNA, the great lengths that don't matter,
That even its magniloquent scholars call "junk,"
So much that if you listened to the language
Of life you'd hear the ums between words, confabulation,
What we say when we've nothing to say,
As when she calls at lunch and asks How are things?
And I claim, Fine, as I would with the building
In flames. We ping pong pleasantries for five minutes
Then I return to putting out the day's fires
Only now pondering lives we spend mostly
Apart just to make enough to have a life,
Something like divorce with marriage spliced in
Mornings and nights. I.e. she's a stranger
And how do I know she's not disbursing government
Secrets in coded want ads, begging exegesis
From her cult's high priest, or running a house
Of ill repute by the shipyard? Mingling
Our loose strands, we become a stranger strangeness
Though scientists have begun to guess
At the hidden purpose in those stretches
Of fallow chromosome they also call introns,
A refreshingly arcane and important name
I attach to this break I take from a day
That started as the pieces we call hours
And put together by staying whole. The part
Where the phone rings isn't the story's moral,
Just abiding distraction, as if Sisyphus let go
Of the stone whose rolling went unnoticed
As he flipped open his cell and told his wife
What would bore anyone else, scientists
For instance studying mating rituals in fruit flies,
Or G-men eavesdropping through a wall.
But such twaddle sufficiently scrutinized turns out
To be a cipher for life, itself the redundant
Though universal meaning, as if at the most
Intimate level, nothing is everything.
—David Moolten

I'm so impressed. You have a knack for turning something as mundane as the wife's daily phone call into a springboard for other mundane observations, all of which resonate well with that predicament common to us all: the human condition. It reminds of Billy Collins a little. This is what I aspire to communicate as well.
There are so many enjoyable lines, I don't know where to start. "ping pong pleasantries" is a perfect example!
December 17, 2009 3:21 pm
Well tuned monument to life. I so enjoyed this piece, found my head nodding while my mouth said, yes, yes.
December 17, 2009 7:49 pm
I'm hoping your wife doesn't know Tiger Woods. I loved your poem and enjoyed sharing it. The words spoke of the regret of having to spend so much time away from love, because of the need to work. In the end nothing really IS everything and Tiger Woods doesn't know this. Thanks for sharing, David!
December 17, 2009 9:16 pm
If junk be not junk nor trash trash, then must we not cease to debunk bunk? And if bunk once ceases to be debunked, must we not see in time 'twas ping-pong all along?
December 17, 2009 10:37 pm
I really love the form of this – the jumble of images that illustrates the pointlessness of a "divorce with marriage spliced in." I think my favorite part is the image of Sisyphus blabbing away on the phone while stone rolled away unnoticed.
December 18, 2009 12:39 am
Seem to connect with these lines the most
Though universal meaning, as if at the most
Intimate level, nothing is everything.
December 18, 2009 5:16 am
Sounds as if you need a holiday in the sun! When you are in this frame of mind do not watch Roman Polanski's 'Belle de Jour'. I liked this poem and all the humorous episodes especially the one with the wife being a Madam on the side or a secret government agent.I think you're a bit of a secret scallywag.Thank God,I was getting worried there for a while.Now I can look forward to the injection of more insanity into your poems.Merry Xmas David,I'm toasting you with a gin cocktail!
December 18, 2009 11:04 am
…Nothing is everything…
I like that.
December 18, 2009 11:04 am
This, This…
>>> when she calls at lunch and asks How are things?

were the first words that struck me and then, so many resounding chords… so many questions I never bothered asking and makes me wonder, "What if I had lived these questions, spoken similar words aloud, what then, what then?"
Appreciate the evocative journey (which I know will continue speaking to me.)
December 18, 2009 11:10 am
As Dave Bonta says, good to see science getting a poetic shakedown! This is beautifully composed – a tight, disciplined structure contains and directs a wonderfully ambulatory exposition of theme. Very enjoyable.
December 18, 2009 12:04 pm
Doctors have a knack for understanding the minutiae of the body. It's not surprising that a doctor-poet could shed such brilliant light on the minutiae that grows between two intimates. This resonates for me in a lot of ways. Thanks. Now I'll have to read up on introns; never heard of them before.
December 18, 2009 4:19 pm
David, I love the intron as metaphor here. All that non-communicative stuff that fills our conversations, pillowing the "content." And if we want to believe that the medium is the "massage," the intron moment is a very important part of who and how our genetic community lives itself out in us.
Masterful rendition. I particularly was taken by these lines:
And how do I know she's not disbursing government
Secrets in coded want ads, begging exegesis
From her cult's high priest, or running a house
Of ill repute by the shipyard?
December 20, 2009 12:38 am
great ride David….do not know where I ended up and how I got there…..but thats allllllllllll good …thanks for sharing this

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Pioneer DEH-X6600BT by Ken Nail Why replace your factory radio? Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. Built-in Bluetooth® Pioneer's DEH-X6600BT CD receiver offers the convenience and safety of built-in Bluetooth connectivity. You can answer a phone call with the push of a button, and then talk as if your caller is sitting next to you, freeing up your hands so you can concentrate on the drive. No more hassles with plugging in your music player when you get in the car — you can stream music wirelessly from compatible devices to this receiver, plus control basic functions like "track up" or "track down." The versatile DEH-X6600BT has built-in Bluetooth. Siri Eyes Free, too Got an iPhone® with Siri? Pioneer's DEH-X6600BT CD receiver supports Siri Eyes Free, which means you can ask Siri to make calls, select and play music, compose and hear text messages, read notifications, even use maps and get directions — all commanded by your voice through your Pioneer receiver. It's not only convenient, it can make your drive safer and more productive. Plenty of media options Once your iPhone's connected to the front-panel USB input, you'll be able to access your playlists with the Pioneer's controls. And you'll also enjoy control over your favorite Pandora® stations from the receiver. You can use the USB input to tap into the music files stored on many Android devices, while the front aux input handles just about any other audio source. Turn on the color The DEH-X6600BT CD receiver spans the color spectrum with a multi-color, dual-zone display that lets you choose from thousands of colors for the display and controls — you can even choose different colors for each. MIXTRAX adds to the fun by adding transitions between songs along with a light show that pulses and changes color with the beat of the music. It's like driving with your own DJ. Tailor the sound Pioneer's potent MOSFET amplifier delivers plenty of power, while the 5-band EQ lets you tweak the sound as much as you want. Two pairs of preamp outputs make it easier to add external amplifiers or a powered sub. Want to keep your steering wheel controls? In most vehicles you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

Built-in Bluetooth Disc & USB Playback iPod/Aux Integration AM/FM + Pandora Radio Audio Section Display Features Remote Control Built-in Bluetooth Bluetooth Technology: The DEH-X6600BT is equipped with built-in Bluetooth ver. 3.0, allowing you to make and receive phone calls wirelessly through the receiver; as well as stream music wirelessly from your smartphone to the head unit. In order to use Bluetooth wireless technology, your phone must also be Bluetooth compatible and be able to interpret certain profiles. This unit is compatible with the following Bluetooth Profiles: Hands-Free Communication: HFP (Hands Free Profile), HSP (Head Set Profile), OPP (Object Push Profile), PBAB (Phone Book Access Profile). Audio Streaming: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile). Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Pioneer DEH-X6600BT. SPP + USB Pairing w/ Guest Mode: With Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), you can easily pair a Bluetooth enabled phone to the DEH-X6600BT without having to enter pin codes or go through complicated settings (your phone must also support SSP). When your paired Bluetooth device is in close proximity to the receiver, the auto connection function automatically pairs the two units. Up to 3 Bluetooth-compatible devices can be paired to this head unit, but nly one device can be used at a time. You can also pair your Apple iPhone by simply connecting it to the Pioneer head unit via USB and following a single prompt on the head unit's display. In addition, the DEH-X6600BT features "Guest Mode", which allows you to add and replace a mobile device instantly to the receiver. Guest Mode is a great feature for a family vehicle with multiple drivers or a driver with multiple devices because it allows users to pair and delete devices easily without a lengthy registration or deletion process. Hands-Free Communication (w/ External Mic): The DEH-X6600BT supports wireless hands-free communication (HFP/HSP/OPP/PBAB) for your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. The head unit will display the caller's information and an audible ring tone will be heard through your vehicle's speaker during an incoming call. You can manually answer an incoming call or have the unit automatically answer the call. The DEH-X6600BT allows you to carry on a phone conversation from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone using the head unit's external microphone and your car audio speakers. During a conversation you can adjust the volume, as well as switch between the Private Mode (talking directly on your cell phone) and the Hands Free Mode. Using the DEH-X6600BT, you can dial a phone number in one of the following ways: Phone Book: The phone book in your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone will be transferred automatically when the phone is paired to this unit. After finding the number you want to call in the phone book from the head unit, you can select the entry and make the call. If a lot of numbers are registered in the phone book, you can search for a phone number by the contact person's name alphabetically (A-Z). Call Log: The most recent calls dialed, received, and missed are stored in memory. You can browse them and call numbers from these lists. Voice Dialing (Siri only): When paired and connected with an iPhone 4S or 5/5C/5S via Bluetooth, the Pioneer head unit has the ability to access Siri through its front-panel controls and external microphone. You'll be able to dial a phone number or contact via voice command. Note: The external microphone provides better performance in noisy environments than the integrated microphone found on the front-panel of many aftermarket or factory radios. The microphone features a 13' cord that plugs into the back of the radio, and comes with an adjustable visor-mount clip. The microphone measures 0.475" (diameter) x 1.445" (depth). The unit is not equipped with an integrated microphone. Wireless Audio Streaming (with Song/Artist Info): The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT also supports wireless audio playback (AD2P) and control (AVRCP) of a Bluetooth enabled audio player or smartphone. The head unit can stream music stored on your Bluetooth enabled device or music apps you have downloaded on your device. The DEH-X6600BT will be able to control basic playback features; Play, Pause, & Skip Tracks (app must also support). The head unit will also display your music's song information; such as Artist name and Song/Album title (app must also support). When an incoming call or outgoing call is in progress from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone, audio streaming will be paused so you can take your call. Siri Eyes-Free Functionality: When paired and connected with an iPhone with Siri via Bluetooth, the Pioneer DEH-X6600BT has the ability to access Siri through its front-panel controls and external microphone. iPhone 4S and iPhone 5/5C/5S users can take advantage of Siri Eyes-Free functionality with a long-press of the 3-way rotary dial on the Pioneer receiver's front-panel. When activated, Siri voice prompts play through the vehicle's speakers and the user's commands and questions are received and transmitted to the receiver using the external microphone. Siri Eyes-Free provides access to many iPhone Siri functions such as music selection, making phone calls, and audible navigation (map will be displayed on iPhone); as well as listening to text messages, calendar information, and reminders. The head unit's display will only indicate hands-free calling and song/artist information (all other functions of Siri are only audible through the Pioneer DEH-X6600BT; visual data will still need to be viewed from your iPhone device). Note: Your iPhone with Siri can be connected via Bluetooth and USB simultaneously. You can only access stored music using Siri when the head unit's source is iPod or Bluetooth Audio. All other Siri functions can be accessed from any source. The head unit's audio is muted while Siri provides audible voice prompts. Disc & USB Playback Compatible Discs: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT CD receiver supports playback of CD-Audio, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. This unit can play MP3, WMA, and WAV files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs Front-Panel USB Input (Android Compliant): The unit's front-panel USB (type-A) port allows you to connect a USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) or USB Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) compliant device; such as your Android smartphone, portable digital audio player, or USB thumbdrive. The USB port enables audio playback & control of MP3, WMA, and WAV audio files stored on your portable USB MSC/MTP device through the Pioneer DEH-X6600BT. USB devices that can be charged via USB will be charged when plugged into the CD receiver's USB port (1A) and the vehicle's ignition switch is set to ACC or On. Note: The unit's front-panel USB port supports Android OS 4.0+ (Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean) as a Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) device. It also supports Android OS 2.2+ (Froyo/Gingerbread) as a Mass Storage Class (MSC) device; as of 8/27/2013. The receiver does not support Android OS 3.1+ (Honeycomb) or other Android operating systems not listed. MP3/WMA/WAV Playback: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT supports the following types of MP3/WMA/WAV files recorded onto CD-R/RW disc or loaded onto a USB mass storage class device. Media Type CD-R/RW USB (MSC/MTP) File System ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet, Romeo, Long file name FAT 12/16/32 Playable File Types MP3: bit rate of 8-320 kbps w/ sampling rate of 32, 44.1, 48 kHz WMA: bit rate of 48-320 kbps w/ sampling rate of 32, 44.1, 48 kHz WAV: bit rate of 8- or 16-bit w/ sampling rate of 16-48kHz or 22.05-44.1kHz (not compatible w/ MTP) Maximum # of Folders/Files 99 folders/999 files 500 folders/15,000 files Tags ID3 tags (ver.1.0/1.1/2.2/2.3/2.4), WMA tags File/Track Name List: The Name List feature displays a list of MP3/WMA albums and tracks on a loaded CD or connected USB device, so you can easily access your music. Music files are listed first by Artist name, then by Album name, and finally by Song title. Song/Artist Information: During MP3/WMA playback, the unit displays any recorded ID3 Tag (ver. 1.x/2.x) and WMA Tag information; including artist, song, and album name. Playback Controls: The Pioneer CD receiver provides basic operations like Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, Previous/Next Track, and Repeat/Random for disc and USB device playback. When a compatible Android smartphone is connected, the head unit will control music playback functions; you will not be able to control your music from the smartphone. Off Insert/Eject: A CD disc can be inserted or ejected with the power off. When a disc is inserted with the power off, the unit will automatically power up and begin playback. Auto Off Eject: When you eject a disc, the unit will automatically power off (unless you switch sources before ejecting the disc). Installation Angle: Optimum CD playback performance is obtained when the unit is installed at an angle of less than 60-degrees. iPod/Aux Integration iPod Direct Connection: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT's front-panel USB port can be used to connect your 30-pin dock connector or Lightning-connector iPod/iPhone to the head unit. The DEH-X6600BT supports audio playback, music navigation, information display, and charging of your compatible Apple device. 30-Pin Dock Connector: If you have an older iPod/iPhone with a 30-pin dock connector, you can use Pioneer's dock connector-to-USB cable (130CDIU51, sold separately) or the dock connector-to-USB cable that comes with your Apple device to connect your iPod/iPhone to the DEH-X6600BT. Lightning Connector: If you have a newer iPod/iPhone with the Lightning-connector, you can use Pioneer's Lightning-to-USB cable (130CDIU52, sold separately) or the Lightning-to-USB cable that came with your Apple device to connect your iPod/iPhone to the DEH-X6600BT. Note: The head unit's USB connection provides 1A of current to power and charge your connected iPod/iPhone when your vehicle's ignition switch is set to the 'ACC' or 'On' position (if your iPod/iPhone has no initial battery charge, then the unit will not recognize it). iPod Audio Playback w/ DAC Bypass: The USB connection allows your iPod/iPhone's stored music to be loaded instantly to the head unit and sound quality to be maximized through the head unit's 24-bit D/A converter, allowing for a Signal to Noise ratio up to 94dB. The Pioneer head unit supports audio playback of stored music, podcasts, audiobooks, and music apps on your iPod or iPhone. You can choose to operate your iPod/iPhone through the head unit's front-panel controls, from its clickwheel/touchscreen, or via a streamed app from your iPhone. Head Unit: From the head unit, you can browse your iPod/iPhone's music library by Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Playlist, Composer, Podcast, or Audiobook (your iPod/iPhone's clickwheel or touchscreen will be locked). Once you have selected a category, you can search each category alphabetically. In addition, the head unit offers Link Play, which allows you to play songs related to the currently playing song. Link Play lets the head unit create an album list of the currently playing artist, a song list of the currently playing album, or an album list of the currently playing genre. You can also select Random & Repeat functions for a certain song or specific folder. The head unit will display your iPod/iPhone's stored music file information; including Track number, Elapsed playing time, and Song/Artist/Album name. iPod: In iPod mode, you can navigate the stored music on your iPod/iPhone from its clickwheel or touchscreen, while still being able to view song/artist information on the head unit's LCD. App Mode: App mode lets you listen to your favorite music apps from your iPhone (iOS 5.0+) through the Pioneer head unit and your vehicle's speakers. Not all apps will be compatible with App Mode and App Mode will provide only limited (basic), if any, control over the app. Available controls may include Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track. The App's Name (i.e. "AUPEO!) and song/artist information will be displayed on the head unit's LCD screen (when applicable, depending on app). iPod Compatibility Chart: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT is "Made for iPod/iPhone" compatible and supports the following iPod/iPhone model functions (as of 9/19/2013): Apple Device Generation Tested Version Media Type Control Type Display Type Bluetooth Charge Audio Video Head Unit iPod/iPhone App Mode Pandora App Artist/Song Text Track Info Phone Audio Siri iPhone 2G 3.1.3 Y N Y Y N N Y Y Y N N Y 3G 4.2.1 Y N Y Y N N Y Y Y Y N Y 3GS 5.1.1 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y 4 7.1.2 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y 4S 8.0 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y 5/5C/5S 8.0 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y 6+/6 8.0 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y touch 1st 2.2.1 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 2nd 4.2.1 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N Y N Y 3rd 5.1.1 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N Y N Y 4th 6.1.3 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N Y N Y 5th 8.0 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N Y Y Y nano 1st 1.3.1 Y N Y N N N Y Y N N N Y 2nd 1.1.3 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 3rd 1.1.3 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 4th 1.0.4 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 5th 1.0.2 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 6th 1.1 PC Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 7th 1.2 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N Y N Y classic 80GB 1.1.2 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 120GB 2.0.1 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y 160GB 2.0.4 Y N Y Y N N Y Y N N N Y video 5th 1.3 Y N Y N N N Y Y N N N Y iPad 1 5.1.1 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y N N 2 8.0 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y N N 3 8.0 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y Y N 4/air 8.0 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y Y N mini 8.0 Y N Y Y Y Y Y Y N Y Y Y Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software update is available. Auxiliary Input: The DEH-X6600BT is equipped with a front-panel 3.5mm stereo minijack auxiliary input for connecting external components, such as a portable MP3 player. AM/FM + Pandora Radio Supertuner IIID AM/FM Tuner: The Supertuner IIID features Feed Forward Control, which avoids multi-path interference. This pre-detection of interference enables quick filter control and results in less distortion. In addition, the Supertuner IIID creates enhanced stereo during multi-path interference, unlike conventional tuners that collapse to mono. Digital processing reduces distortion, and improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio and stereo separation. Advanced analog technology improves signal processing sensitivity. RDS: The Radio Data System (RDS) feature displays radio broadcast information such as artist, title, and album when listening to compatible AM/FM stations. BSM (Best Stations Memory): The BSM (Best Stations Memory) function lets you automatically store the six strongest stations under preset buttons 1-6 of the currently tuned band. The tuner has 3 FM banks and 1 AM bank. You can store 6 presets for each bank giving you a total of 18 FM presets and 6 AM presets. Local Tuning: Local seek tuning lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong signals for good reception. There are 4 levels of sensitivity for FM and two levels for AM. The higher settings allow reception of only the strongest stations, while lower settings let you receive progressively weaker stations. Pandora Internet Radio (for iPhone & Android): The free Pandora App (either from iTunes Apps or Google Play) lets you play music from the Pandora music service through the Pioneer DEH-X6600BT using your USB-connected Apple iPhone (iOS 5.0+) or Bluetooth paired Android smartphone. Your Apple iPhone must be connected to the DEH-X6600BT via the appropriate Pioneer iPod connector cable (130CDIU51/130CDIU52, sold separately) or the connector-cable that came with your iPhone. Your Android smartphone must support A2DP/AVRCP/SPP Bluetooth profiles and be paired with the Pioneer DEH-X6600BT. Your iPhone or Android smartphone will also need an active Data Plan account with connection to the Internet via 3G, EDGE, or WiFi. The DEH-X6600BT provides control over the Pandora music service and displays Artist, Album, and Song information. Station List: You can select Pandora stations from your Station List by date or alphabetically (A-Z). Shuffle Station List: You can listen to songs played randomly from various stations within your Station List. New Stations: New stations can be created based on the current songs or artists playing. Skip Songs: You can skip song tracks within a station. You cannot skip back to a previous song. Pandora limits the number of skips allowed. Thumbs Up/Down: You can give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down to help Pandora personalize stations to suit your preferences. Bookmarking: The song/artist currently being played can be bookmarked & stored in your Pandora account. Note: Access to the Pandora service will depend on the availability of a cellular and/or WiFi network for purposes of allowing your iPhone or smartphone to connect to the Internet. Pandora is not supported in Canada and only available in the United States. Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The Pioneer in-dash head unit utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The DEH-X6600BT is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power specifications for the DEH-X6600BT are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. CEA2006 Specs: 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) Continuous Power Output: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 50Hz-15kHz, 5% THD) Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels Note: The rear speaker outputs can be set to provide full range output with full fading capability, or they can be set to provide non-fading subwoofer (low-pass) output. When the rear speaker outputs are set to subwoofer mode, the rear preamp outputs also switch from full range to subwoofer outputs. When set for subwoofer operation, you can connect the rear speaker leads directly to two small 4-ohm passive subwoofers or a dual voice coil sub with 4-ohm voice coils. If you prefer to use a single 2-ohm subwoofer, you can connect the woofer to one set of speaker leads, leaving the other set of rear leads disconnected. The maximum output provided when a 2-ohm load is connected to one set of leads is 70 watts. 4ch/2V Preamp Outputs: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT features two pair of 2.0-volt preamp outputs. The unit's rear preamp outputs can be configured as fading rear-channel outputs or a non-fading subwoofer outputs with a low-pass filter, phase adjustment, and output level control. Subwoofer Control: When the head unit's preamp output is configured as a subwoofer output, you can select the frequency of the low pass filter (50Hz, 63Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 125 Hz), select the filter slope (-6/-12dB), select the subwoofer phase (normal/reverse), and the subwoofer gain (+6 to -24). Equalizer: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT features a Preset & Custom EQ. The built-in equalizer offers 7 preset sound modes (Powerful, Dynamic, Vocal, Natural, Custom 1, Custom 2, and Flat) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The two Custom modes allow you to manually adjust the head unit's 5-band EQ (80Hz, 250Hz, 800Hz, 2.5kHz, 8kHz) from +/-6dB. Custom 1 can be set separately for each source (except for USB/iPod/Pandora); while Custom 2 and the other 5 presets are shared settings used for all sources. High-Pass Crossover: When you don't want low-frequency sound to be heard through your front or rear speakers, you can simply active the head unit's HPF (high pass filter). By activating the HPF, only frequencies higher than those in the selected range are output from the front or rear speakers. The high pass filter crossover can be set to 50Hz, 63Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 125Hz, 160hz, 200Hz or Off. The slope level of the HPF can also be adjusted to -6dB or 12dB. Advanced Sound Retriever: The Advanced Sound Retriever automatically enhances compressed audio and restores the original richness of the recording. Hear the detail, warmth, and clarity, the way the artist intended it, from all of your highly compressed MP3 and WMA files stored on your USB device, iPod/iPhone, and portable media players. By restoring data (especially higher frequencies) that tends to get lost in the digital compression process, Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever technology enhances audio reproduction nearly all the way up to 20 kHz frequencies Audio Level Settings: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT CD receiver offers a variety of audio settings to tailor the bass, treble, and volume level to your preference. Bass Boost The DEH-X6600BT features a bass boost function which can be used to enhance low-frequency bass sound. The bass boost function can be set between 0-6. Loudness: The Loudness feature compensates for deficiencies in the low and high sound ranges at low volume. You can set the Loudness feature to Low, Mid, High, or Off. Source Level Adjustment (SLA): This function lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources. Settings are based on the volume level of the FM tuner, which remains unchanged. Each source can be independently adjusted from -4dB to +4dB. MIXTRAX: Drawing from Pioneer's rich DJ heritage and passion for music, MIXTRAX delivers a unique DJ infused listening experience to listeners in the car. MIXTRAX is an innovative Pioneer technology that creates a non-stop mix of your music library complete with a range of DJ-inspired effects. MIXTRAX takes your typical music listening experience and creates a non-stop mix of your music with 9 random DJ effects and transitions, by removing the breaks and pauses normally introduced between tracks and replacing them with various beats. MIXTRAX is compatible with USB-connected iPhone, iPod, USB MSC device, and select Android devices. There is also a Short Playback option which limits the amount of time each track plays; select from 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3 minutes. Note: The MIXTRAX function does not work in App mode or with the Pandora App for iPod/iPhone/iPad. It is also not supported by USB MTP devices. Display Features Detachable Face Security: The Pioneer DEH-X6600BT in-dash CD receiver features detachable face security. No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. Color Customization: Color Customization lets the user match their receiver illumination to their vehicle's interior lighting. Over 210,000 colors are available to match the illumination of almost any car. The button illumination and display illumination colors can be customized separately for an endless number of color combinations. You can select from 5 preset colors (White/Red/Amber/Green/Blue), customize an illumination color (by adjusting Red/Blue/Green brightness levels), or scan through a variety of colors. MIXTRAX Illumination: MIXTRAX features a club-style illumination that enhances the mood with a dynamic dance club-like lighting effect. As MIXTRAX begins, lights start pulsing to the beat of the music, adding an extra level of entertainment. You can choose among twelve patterns of lighting variations from sound pressure level or low-pass synchronization modes. The lighting effects work like a spectrum analyzer, reaching peak colors based on the intensity of the music. You can also choose which area's of the head unit's face illuminates; select Display, Display/Buttons, or Off. Display Illumination/Clock Display: When the Clock Display has been turned on, pressing and holding the "SRC" button turns off audio output, but the clock display and button illumination remains on (you can press the "DISP" button to turn off). When the Clock Display has been turned off, pressing and holding the "SRC" button turns the unit off completely. Even if you have turned the radio completely off you can view the clock display by pressing the "DISP" button. The clock will then remain On until you turn it back Off. When the unit is On, you can select between the clock display or the audio track/tuner display. Demo Mode: This unit features a Demo mode which can be turned On/Off within the menu. Remote Control Wireless Remote Control: The DEH-X6600BT comes with an IR wireless remote control. The remote allows you to control the volume, switch between sources, pause the CD, change the display, and adjust the audio. You can also mute the volume (function that cannot be performed from the front panel). In addition, you can answer/end calls from a Bluetooth connected smartphone. Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

Great unit, upgrading the receiver really made a difference in the sound quality from my existing speakers. Love that you can set the color to match your dash - amber looks perfect with my '04 Mini Cooper.

This is a great receiver with all the essentials. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Nice Stereo for the price Written By Trustno1, Salem, OR on Tuesday, October 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We purchased this H.U. for my son. He wanted a stereo that played C.D.'s and had Bluetooth capabilities. This one meets and exceeds all he wanted in a H.U. My only complaint is that it's always never a quick jump to get to the E.Q. Settings. They are always buried in a sub menu rather than being more easily accessible by a single button to access E.Q. Settings. But, this is common with most Head Units these days. Just an FYI to stereo manufactures a tone or sound button to access the E.Q. would be a nice touch, even @ this price range, and the front panel has enough real estate for a single additional button. The sound quality is great and the feature list is quite impressive for a stereo in this price range. Pros: Good sound, Nice list of useful features including Bluetooth. Cons: None Was this review helpful?

Great price and ease of use for a non-techy, Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Very nice upgrade Written By speling c., East coast on Wednesday, October 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this in my 2007 Dakota QC. The installation was a little tricky, as I had never done one of these before.. so on a few occasions, I either called, or emailed Crutchfield with questions. The biggest issue I had, was getting the cell phone to work on the receive side. I could transmit through the microphone fine, but could not hear anything. Fortunately for me, Crutchfield has a great tech support group that was more than happy to help out (which is a rarity these days!). After re-wiring the RP4--> Pioneer connections, the cell phone started working both ways. Otherwise, I was able to pair my Android - HTC One without issue. I haven't had to mess with the EQ settings, as everything sounds pretty stout right out of the box. Be advised, those of you who are using this type of car stereo (non-stock) for the 1st time, there are a lot of settings/options. Give yourself a month for tweaking or changes to suit your taste. I'm not saying you won't like those options, because in the long run, I'm glad I had those options. Pros: Sounds great Phone calls are crystal clear. All the USB thumb drives work fine so far (about 5 installed to this point). Bluetooth has worked flawlessly. Crutchfield tech support. Cons: The Pioneer installation guide was lacking. Mixtrax was not my cup 'o tea. The aftermarket antenna does not pick up stations like my stock antenna, but it's not a biggie for me. Was this review helpful?

Written By Anonymous, Brainerd, MN on Saturday, September 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's everything I ever wanted in a deck. Pros: AUX USB Equalizer Bluetooth Colors Cons: The gloss on the faceplate can make it reflective at times. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Easy installation Written By Jorge, Milford, MI on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The installation was very easy. Needed to call Crutchfield twice due to the remote steering interface wiring. Superior service. Installed it into a Jeep Comander. Easy out with the old unit per the instructions and easy in. All you have to do is match the colors on the wires. Pros: Easy installation and with the help from Crutchfield of even easier. Sounds good. The button are good. Bought this for my 16 year daughter with the intent to have minimal distraction from the radio menu. It meets this criteria well. She love the whole deal. I agree with her. Nice product Cons: the hands free phone mike is weak in sound pickup and sound quality. The radio menu is so so. The pioneer manual is poor. Was this review helpful?

I just posted this on AT. But since she's a Martin here as well.
This is my set up so far, I know the pics not very good its from my phone (evo 4glte).
Its my 2013 Martin Alien, 69.4# DW (70#), 29" DL, Black Carbon finish. It has a black peep site, BCY D-loop, Martin string silencers. The sight is a Spot Hogg 7 deadly pins with a rheostat light. The rest is a NAP Black Carbon Apache, stabilizer is a NAP 8" black Carbon Apache. Wrist sling is neoprene-some bone camo.
I'm not done yet, I'll be putting on a Spot Hogg scope lens soon with the visor, new strings once these begin to wear (Winners choice) all flo-green 8190 extremes. The bow is quiet enough I wont put no more dampeners on her, shes got three VEM's. I'm shooting gold tip xt hunters so far with flo-green nockturnals. I'll be getting some victory VAP's with perpetrator 2's soon. She shoots nice, quick but not blazing fast, again I'll chrono asap. When I'm finished dialing her in I'll be shooting hopefully 80 yards. Well there you go!

Finishing the 48 - fantastic! Doing a Presidential Traverse - awesome. Doing a PT with a sunset on Madison, full moon ridge hike, full moon AND sunrise on Washington - not sure there are words to describe. Doing them all at the same time and getting to share them with your brother has got to be a day beyond what most people could ever hope for in a lifetime of hiking. So glad that everything turned out so perfectly for you. Congratulations on all your many accomplishments in the last 8-1/2 months - your reward is well earned!
All the best to Bill in his quest for the final 18. I'm sure you won't mind being there to repeat those peaks with him. I've had so much fun reading the blog, looking at the fantastic pictures and following the journey since it started. Kind of sad in a way that it's finished (which I think will be the way I'll feel when we finish the list ourselves). But when one book closes another always opens. Still hope to run into you out there on a mountain someday.
Happy trails.

How To Make a Quick Turkey Gravy
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
The deeply browned and greasy scrapings from the bottom of the roasting pan might not look like much when you first take the turkey out of the oven. But those drippings are Thanksgiving manna. Let's make some gravy.
There are many diverse and wonderful ways that you can make gravy. You can make it with giblets or you can make it just with broth. You can even make it weeks ahead of time to save yourself some kitchen frenzy on Thanksgiving day.
My favorite is a plain, old-fashioned gravy from the pan drippings made just seconds before setting all the food on the table. This makes for a deeply flavorful gravy that enhances everything on the plate with a touch of savory goodness.
It's also one of the easiest gravies to make, in my opinion. From roux to table, it takes about five minutes and requires only a pan and a whisk. That's something we can handle even after a long day of cooking with the promise of dinner only moments away.
Quick Turkey Gravy
What You Need
1/4 cup turkey fat (substitute: vegetable oil or butter)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup pan drippings
1-2 cups broth or water
salt and pepper
Optional Extras: splash of sherry, splash of wine, teaspoon of minced herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage
a measuring cup
a saucepan
a whisk
1. Gravy Prep - After you've removed the turkey from the oven and set it aside to rest, set the pan over medium-high heat on the stove-top. You may need to span two burners. When the pan drippings are hot and sputtering, pour in a cup of broth and begin scraping all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
2. Separate the Fat and Drippings - Pour the deglazed pan drippings into a measuring cup and place this in the refrigerator or freezer, wherever there is space. In the 30 minutes it takes to rest the turkey, the fat and drippings will separate and the fat will begin to harden. This makes it easier to skim off just the fat for making the gravy.
You should ideally end up with about a cup of pan drippings and 1/4 cup of fat. If you have less, you can make up the difference with broth or oil, respectively. If you have more, discard a little of the fat and use less broth in the next step. If you have a lot more, you can also double the recipe.
3. Make a Roux - Skim the fat from the top of the pan drippings (or use a fat separator) and warm it in a saucepan over medium-high heat. When the fat is hot, whisk in the flour to form a thin paste. Let this cook for a few minutes until bubbly.
4. Add the Pan Drippings - Next up, pour in the pan drippings and whisk to combine with the roux. This will form a thick, gloppy paste.
5. Add the Broth - Finish the gravy by whisking in a half cup of broth. You can add more broth for a thinner gravy or let the gravy cook a few minutes for a thicker gravy. Taste the gravy and add salt, pepper, and any extras to taste.
Additional Notes:
• For a very smooth gravy, strain the pan drippings before adding them to the gravy.
• Gravy can be kept refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to three months. Reheat gently over low heat while whisking occasionally to prevent the sauce from breaking.

Thanksgiving Turkey Essentials from The Kitchn

I use cornstarch as a thickener because it's so much easier and quicker than making a roux; it's also safer, since the chances of getting lumpy or underthickened gravy are pretty much zero. My method: after removing the turkey from the roasting pan, put the pan over two burners and bring the drippings to a boil. You may or may not want to add broth to the drippings, depending on how much you've got. Usually little or no broth is necessary, but a splash of white wine is a nice addition. Whisk together 4 tablespoons of cornstarch and a half cup of water until it forms a smooth slurry. Add half of the slurry to the boiling drippings and whisk it in. Allow it to return to a boil and assess the consistency. (My favorite way to decide is to dip a spoon in, turn it over and run my finger through the gravy on the back. If it makes a clean line that stays clean, it's thick enough.) Add as much of the remaining slurry as necessary for your desired consistency. Turn down to a simmer for a few minutes. Salt to taste.
I use cornstarch like gildeddawn, but roux tastes way better.
We do our gravy when we clean and prep the turkey in the morning, pull out the giblets, toss it in a small saucepan with celery, onion, some seasonings and water and just let it cook low all day long. When the turkey is done, strain off the liquid from the saucepan (feed the giblets to our pets!) add the drippings, cornstarch slurry and seasoning to taste.
I'm definitely a roux type of girl. And I cook it till its good and golden and nutty smelling. Makes for finger licking' gravy. All this turkey talk is making me wish I was doing the turkey this year, but alas, I'll be having MIL's turkey (or oversized chicken) which she never really seems a fan of cooking. And she's been known to serve gravy from a jar... At least I get to bring Ina's Mac and Cheese.
no, no, no, this is awful. Make gravy like this:
1. Vegetable trivet (Crudely sliced celery, carrots, onions, garlic, olive oil)
2. Roast meat on top of trivet (keep veg moderately moist so they dont burn)
3. Jamie Oliver's gracy
Cornstarch leads to gelatinous, slimy gravy. My parents have rehashed the slimy cornstarch gravy we had at a friend's house at Thanksgiving in 1988 at EVERY Thanksgiving since, no exaggeration. It's like a T-day tradition with them.
Roux gravy all the way!
I'm a fan of both cornstarch gravy and roux gravy. Roux gravy has a nice under flavor. Cornstarch gravy is wonderful because your celiac's suffering friends can eat gluten free gravy.
Your cornstarch gravy should NEVER be gelatinous or slimy! Yikes! That's probably a case of using far too much cornstarch, or possibly having the broth be on too strong a boil when you put it in. Try cutting the cornstarch down drastically, drizzling it in slowly at a low simmer, and letting the gravy slowly firm itself up while you stir it. I tend to go for a consistency that is even slightly looser that roux gravy, because that's when cornstarch gravy really shines.
Broth for gravy can easily be made from the giblet packet located inside the cavity of the bird. Just add slightly more (cold) water than you need for the recipe, along with the giblets, maybe a bay leaf and some whole peppercorns. Simmer for 2 hours as your bird cooks. Ta-Da!
When you take the turkey out, set the pan over two burners on the stove. Just leave all the drippings right there in the pan. No need to measure anything. Add a few tablespoons of flour and whisk it into the drippings. You can add add a splash of wine if you want. Or not. Add enough of your turkey neck stock to thin it to your desired consistency. That's it.
Even better is to make gravy the night before using a dark roux and cooked low and slow for a good 30 minutes after you add the stock. Anything with a roux tastes much MUCH better with a longer cooking time. The next day, deglaze the turkey pan and add the drippings to the gravy. Less stress and much tastier.
I make a big batch of turkey stock in late October so that I have it on hand for everything Turkey day.
Keep in mind that dark roux don't thicken as well as lighter roux, so you need to use more of them - sometimes a lot more - and they can overpower the somewhat delicate flavor of turkey. I'd go with a pale golden roux for turkey gravy.
You should never just dump flour into drippings to make gravy - it's uncooked wheat and will give your gravy a nasty, gummy, raw dough flavor. You can add uncooked flour to turkey grease, butter, lard or other fats and brown it there before adding liquid, though.
Mom's Gravy..Heat up the turkey pan on 2 burners, have 1/2 cup flour at the ready and a pan of warm stock, about 2 cups. heat drippings and sprinkle the flour all over, let bubble.)There's a great tool out there just for gravy, it looks like a smashed fork with 5 prongs. erfect!
Start stirring up those bits and the flour will begin to thicken, slowly add turkey stock, but keep it cooking on low, stir, add more stock, etc, till silky smooth. I add sage and pepper to taste, salt at very end. let simmer, to cook , about 30 min, then keep warm to serve (those little crock pots are great!)
This is my favorite type of gravy. I love to add a splash of apple cider of apple cider vinegar to it to give it an extra something.
NO FLOUR! A splash of alcohol, and a good dollop of butter! Reduce, and add a bit more butter.
My mom's trick. We always had mashed russet potatoes with turkey. Deglaze the turkey pan with the reserved salted water the potatoes were bolied in. Using a baster is faster than the fridge method to remove fat. Put defatted broth into a saucepan and heat to simmer. Shake flour - about two tablespoons - in a jar with enough water to make a thick mixture. Pour slowly while stirring into simmering broth until desired thickness of gravy is reached.Thickening should occur fairly quickly. Add more flour water if needed. Taste to adjust salt and add pepper if desired. Keep gravy warm over very low heat until serving. The combination of potato starch and wheat flour is almost magical, leading to a silken smooth gravy with a rich taste. This technique works with other meat juices too. It is worth the effort to boil a russet potato, even if you aren't planning to serve it, just to get the potato water.
What type of dish are you using on the stove? That looks like a fun dish and I would like one for myself.
I've been making Joy of Cooking gravy for years and it's great. Takes some time; keep the giblets out of sight of the squeamish folk; roux; port and sherry....and butter....fantastic.
Best gravy advice: A few weeks before Thanksgiving, the markets start putting out turkey "parts" - backs, wings, necks. I buy several pounds, roast them with an onion, pile it all into a deep stockpot,deglaze the roasting pan, pour that in. Add a few celery leaves, half a lemon, a bay leaf and parsley and top off with water to cover. Bring to boil, put in a 250 oven with a lid on for hours. You will have quarts of deep. delicious turkey stock for gravy. I reduce this somewhat and freeze it. No salt. NO carrots - makes it too sweet. And save the water you boiled the potatoes in for mashing - it will thicken the gravy to perfection. Lacking that, use potato starch, much less gummy than cornstarch, more reliable than flour.
Damn, your turkey gravy was great! Thank you.

I am 4'9",104 lbs, and I am 10 years old. I am swinging a DeMarini Voodoo 2014 and it is working well. I am wondering, which length do you think I should get?
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 30" model in the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBC68).
Better bat: CAT 6 -8 or Easton XL3 -9, for an 11 year old contact hitter with power?
That will be a matter of preference. The 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBC68) features a balanced swing weight, which is generally preferred by contact hitters. The XL3 features an end loaded design, which is normally preferred by power hitters. Since the player can hit for both power and contact, it will truly be up to them and if they can handle the additional end load of the XL3, or if they want to stay with a balanced model like the CAT 6. Both are great options to go with.
When will this Cat 6 Senior Bat (drop 8) be available for purchase?
The release date on the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBC68) is not official at this time, but it should be released around the first part of October.

Hubby is installing a deck. All was well, 1/8" drop per inch for runoff. With the deck being an 8' run. Should be a total of 1" run at the end of the grade.Well now we've noticed that the tops of the joist are about 1/2"from the ledger. After remeasuring: the grade is now at almost 2". We think there was some settling. What to do. Help is needed asap!And should the decking be applied to being flush against the house (basically partly on the ledger board)?
To begin with the ledger should not be attached to the rim joist of the house solidly. Meaning there should be a gap to allow water to run through. Same goes for the deck boards placed tightly against the house. You can block out with plastic blocking to allow an air space between the rim joist and ledger. If water is allowed to penetrate between the two it will most likely rot the rim joist. To help prevent this the area should be flashed between the ledger and rim. But using standard aluminum flashing with pressure treated lumber will corrode the flashing by a chemical reaction. You can use aluminum but then follow-up by placing a piece of 30# felt or ice guard between it and the ledger. In addition the house should be flashed to direct water away from the structure starting above the deck surface and continuing well past the bottom of the ledger/joist.
When you indicate that the joist are 1/2" from the ledger top. Is this elevated or recessed? There is no hard rule for the pitch. The 1/8-ft is the least. On my decks I often go more to make sure that there is good run off. Problem with a elevation difference (between ledger /joist) is the attachment of the deck boards. Different fixes for different problems.This message has been edited. Last edited by: redoverfarm,
Ok, flashing was applied properly. The ledger is applied to the rim joists. The reason for the flashing is to not allow water to seep in behind the siding and ledger. Didn't know about a reaction between the aluminum and pt. PT is usually osmocoated or treated with formeldehyde. The joists are hung with joist hangers against the ledger, but for some reason (we think due to settling),the pitch went from one inch to one and three quarters inches. There for there is a a 1/2 inch gap between the top of the joist and the ledger board. At the bottom of the joist, it's flush with the ledger board. I guess it appears we are redoing the beams and reattaching the joists so they are properly set with the ledger. From everything I've seen (Dean & Derek et al.) the decking should butt up to the house. Gaps between decking should be an 1/8 of an inch on dry wood decking measured using a 16d nail. We're using cedar decking. Thanks for your response!
With the new CCA treated lumber you must use galvanized flashing and galvanized or stainless fasteners for the reason Red mentions. The CCA lumber has copper in it and copper and aluminum don't play well together.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I've got to admit, building a deck with a deliberate pitch is a first for me. Been building decks for decades and have made hundreds of them. All are set level. It's a deck - water is going to run off between the planks. If you are using PT material then you are going to have enough movement just in your decking material to make a 1/8" per foot pitch moot. Sorry to go against the flow here but there is no reason to pitch the deck.
Not going to disagree with all the other advice about attaching to the house and flashing. Best to make the deck a separate structure that only touches the house in a few points for bracing and stability. Since that's not always possible, you use spacers to keep the deck ledger away from the house. PVC washers around the bolts attaching the ledger to the house work well. If you do that there is no need for flashing.
If you do need to add flashing, 45 mil rubber roofing material works very well and will not react with the PT chemicals.
Thanks! Actually there is a coating on the flashing. All is well. Checked all out with my favourite pros, Dean and Derek from Indoors Out. They really helped out too. Thanks for your input. It's much appreciated!
I too never saw a deck that was pitched, say like a concrete pour leading water away from the house. No real need for it. One wonders who thought that was a grand idea. Too much thinking can hinder ones ability to perform the task at hand.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Well if you live in the woods or close by you will notice that the gaps between the deck boards often disappear being filled in with debri from trees (leaves, pine neddles,pollen and the like). Now you have a good rainy season and the deck boards tend to swell. What was once a gap is no longer one. It does tend to lead water immediately away from the foundation/house wall faster. Even a slight pitch is not noticable in appearence and takes very little extra effort to accomplish it. I side with the old saying " Better safe than sorry".
The thing is, there is no reason to pitch a deck. It's a deck, it's not a waterproof surface. Even if it's perfectly level and even if all the joints swell and clog with debris if it gets rained on the water will follow a path off the sides. It doesn't make any difference if water cascades evenly through the gaps or if it flows outwards off the edge - the water is going to run off.
A pitched deck will feel 'off". I'm sure that I'm more aware of it than most but I can feel like I'm walking on an angle on a 1/8" or 1/4" per foot surface. In some cases, you may have a deck into a corner of a house. The deck will have to be pitched in at least one direction, making for an angled look and/or an uneven step-up for access. Furthermore, if the concern is debris clogging up the gaps a shallow 1/8" per foot pitch will do nothing to help drainage - you'd need a lot more pitch.
Sorry, but I just have to stick with my original assessment, there is no reason to make a deck out of level.
Well all of mine were pitched and are very comfortable to walk across. I doubt that anyone would ever be able to tell that there is a pitch. Any stairs or step up are made at the end of the pitched area so they are like any other stairs being level and correct rise and tread. I have actually watched during a storm or rain and the water does run the lengthwise of the deckboard. Most deck boards will sort of cup after time and not allow the run off to the edges. Eventually they will find a flat spot and change direction and run off into the gaps. Just that few feet means a world of difference to me limiting that drainage down into the footing and foundation.
It looks like we will have to agree to disagree on this one. No disrespect to your methods that you use at all, I just have a different opinion.
And this relates to the subject in what way???
Looks like another say nothing troll, or perhaps someone with a neurological disorder that prevents comprehension.

Maybe too much joyous holiday celebrating...really early, and with Jim Beam?
I don't have an issue with happy, harmony, and unicorns for all... unless the unicorns are carrying banners over their backs for happy hour at The Whoopie House.
any durable insulating material separating the CCA treated lumber from other metals should work... when the stuff first displaced copper/arsenic PT wood, the This Old House guys overdrilled the deck support holes and put plastic tubing in them to keep the galvanized bolts from rotting through. thick hot-dipped galvanizing is generally considered resistant. when the lags/bolts have been sitting a while on the shelf, they oxidize, and another common name for this is "white galvanized."
if you're really worried about water backflow to the house, place the deck boards with the openings running perpendicular to the house.
and sweep it periodically so the leaves and maple seeds don't pond water.
when we replaced our patio door, I didn't like how close the sill was to the deck. so I shot three tubes of silicone under the sill. spread it at an angle away from the sill so there's no excuse for water infiltration. will have to use the oscillating tool to lift that when we redeck, but that's what a tool chest is for.This message has been edited.

Conrad, I think you've solved the issue. Some folks just like to get a head start on the holidays - He/she should be pretty pickled by the time Christmas actually arrives. Let's hope someone else decorates the tree. And I think the Jim Beam or its alternate will provide this poster with plenty of false joy and atmosphere.
Want to thank all who responded. I ended up contacting Dean and Derek who were awesome btw. The deck is up,railings are being worked on and all is well.Pics to come!
