Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kicker 12CX600.5 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Power for your complete system Leave it to Kicker to come up with a smart way to power up your entire system with one compact amp that'll fit in some tight places. The CX600.5 5-channel amplifier sends 40 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers, plus up to 300 watts RMS to your subwoofer. And they don't cut any corners building this amp, using oversized transistors, special transformers, and a heavy-duty heat sink to bring you reliable power that won't fade when you push your system hard. Plenty of control High- and low-pass filters sculpt the sound so your speakers and subs can sound their best, while a variable bass boost allows you to add some strong kick to the mix. A fixed subsonic filter protects your sub from inaudible, power-devouring frequencies, and you can use an optional wired remote bass level controller to crank the bass up or down from the front seat. Got some nice component speakers up front? You can bridge the front and rear channels into 2-channel mode to drive them with 150 watts each, and still have 300 watts RMS left for your sub. Includes hardware for vertical mounting Hooks in almost anywhere in almost any position Kicker uses their Fail-Safe Integration Technology (FIT™) to keep this amp's input free from noise or interference, so you'll get a clean signal from almost any system, even a factory radio. Rugged metal end panels provide even more shielding from radiated interference. The CX600.5 also comes with hardware that lets you you mount it vertically, so you can put it in a location that takes up very little floor space and looks ultra-cool.

Features Controls Connections Features CEA 2006 Compliant: The Kicker CX600.5's power ratings are measured according to the criteria approved by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. Kicker Livin' Loud Certified Power: The amplifier comes with a certificate that indicates the total maximum wattage of the particular amplifier, along with the model number, serial number, and whether the amplifier passed the total harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and protection circuit tests. 5-Channel Design: The CX600.5 is made up of three sections, Amp1 (2-channel full range front), Amp2 (2-channel full range rear), and a subwoofer amp (1-channel). The front and rear amps are independently bridgeable, meaning the CX600.5 can be used as a 5-channel, 4-channel, or 3-channel amp. The minimum impedance for each section is 2Ω, 4Ω when bridged. Power Output: Amp1 and Amp2 (CEA 2006 Compliant): 40 watts x 4 RMS into 4Ω (20-20,000 Hz, <1% THD+N, 14.4 volts) Subwoofer Channel (CEA 2006 Compliant): 150 watts x 1 RMS (25-200 Hz, <1% THD+N, 14.4 volts) Amp1 and Amp2 (2Ω): 75 watts x 4 RMS (20-20,000 Hz, <1% THD+N, 14.4 volts) Amp1 and Amp2 Bridged: 150 watts x 2 RMS into 4Ω (20-20,000 Hz, <1% THD+N, 14.4 volts) Subwoofer Channel (2Ω): 300 watts x 1 RMS into 2Ω (25-200 Hz, <1.5% THD+N, 14.4 volts) Auto Turn-on: The amp offers two automatic turn-on modes: +12V: connect a wire from the remote turn-on lead from your source unit to the REM terminal on the amplifier; this is the preferred turn-on method DC Offset: turns the amp on when a 6-volt DC offset is detected at the high-level speaker inputs when the source unit is turned on Vertical Mounting: The amp can be mounted vertically using the included brackets. The vertical dimensions are approximately: Width: 14-3/4" Height: 7-1/4" Depth: 2-3/8" Signal to Noise Ratio: The S/N under CEA-2006 compliant conditions (1 watt output) is 75 dBA. The S/N at rated power is 95 dB for the full range amps and 90 dB for the subwoofer amp. Subsonic Filter: The subsonic filter in the subwoofer amp is fixed at 25 Hz and 24 dB per octave. Controls Input Level Switch: Set the input level switch to Lo when using preamp level input signals and Hi when using speaker level input signals. Fader: When your source unit has discrete front and rear outputs, set the fader switch to on. Turn the fader switch off to send a single stereo input to both the front and rear amps. Front (Amp1): Gain: rotary gain control; continuously variable from 125 mV to 5 V when the Input Level switch is set to Low and 250 mV to 10 V when the Input Level switch is set to High Crossover: high-pass crossover; continuously variable from 50 to 200 Hz (can also be turned off, so the output signal is full range); the slope is 12 dB per octave Rear (Amp2): Gain: rotary gain control; continuously variable from 125 mV to 5 V when the Input Level switch is set to Low and 250 mV to 10 V when the Input Level switch is set to High Crossover: high-pass crossover; continuously variable from 50 to 200 Hz (can also be turned off, so the output signal is full range); the slope is 12 dB per octave Subwoofer: Gain: rotary gain control; continuously variable from 125 mV to 5 V when the Input Level switch is set to Low and 250 mV to 10 V when the Input Level switch is set to High Crossover: low-pass crossover; continuously variable from 50 to 200 Hz (always engaged/cannot be bypassed); the slope is 24 dB per octave Bass Boost: continuously variable from 0 to +12 dB; centered at 40 Hz CXRC Remote Bass Control: the sub output level can be controlled remotely using an optional wired remote bass control (item number 20612CXRC, sold separately) Sub Input: when your source unit has a dedicated subwoofer output, set the sub input switch to Sub; set to Amp2 to get the signal from the rear amp Connections Left Side of Amplifier: +12V (power): set screw terminal; will accept bare wire up to 4-gauge REM (remote turn-on): set screw terminal; will accept bare wire up to 8-gauge GND (ground): set screw terminal; will accept bare wire up to 4-gauge Speaker Outputs: terminal strip with five pair of outputs; accepts spade connectors up to 0.325" wide Note: The Amplifier is not equipped with an internal fuse. An external 80-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire. If the system has only this amp and a wiring kit is used that includes a fuse with a value other than 80-amps, the original should be replaced with an 80-amp fuse. Right Side of Amplifier: RCA Inputs: three pair of stereo RCA inputs (Amp1, Amp2, and Sub); also used for speaker level input (up to three of item number 206KiSL needed, sold separately) Remote Bass: 3.5mm mini-jack for use with the optional CXRC wired remote bass level control Amp Wiring Kit: Kicker recommends using a 4-gauge wiring kit with this amplifier.

City engineer retires after 30 years
SALISBURY — Another top administrator is retiring from the city of Salisbury.
City Engineer Dan Mikkelson, 53, retires today, the 30th anniversary of his career working for the cities of Charlotte and Salisbury.
His departure comes on the heels of the retirement two months ago of city Planning Director Joe Morris. Between the two, Morris and Mikkelson had 65 years of experience in municipal government.
Mikkelson said he has always hoped to retire after 30 years of service but thought he would have to work longer after the economy tanked. However, son Skyler earned a scholarship to the University of South Carolina, so Mikkelson said he can retire as planned.
Although Morris went to work for the LandTrust for Central North Carolina the day after he retired, Mikkelson said he has no plans to start another job right away. With his son headed to college from Salisbury High School and his daughter Hayley graduating from college and moving to Raleigh, Mikkelson said he will spend as much time with them as possible during the next couple months.
"This summer is my last chance to spend special time with the kids," he said. "I will do as much with the family as I can this summer."
Mikkelson was named one of the American Public Works Association's Top Ten Leaders of 2012. He said he will be available to work part-time for the city if needed.
"Dan has been outstanding for the city," City Manager Doug Paris said.
Paris has named Wendy Brindle, the city's traffic engineering manager, as interim city engineer. Brindle is an 18-year veteran of the city of Salisbury and worked as an engineer for Charlotte, Gastonia and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
She recently graduated from the City Manager's Leadership Academy, Paris' training program for city administrators.
"I like to promote from within," Paris said.
Brindle will serve as both traffic engineer and city engineer for the time being, Paris said. He said he is considering merging the two positions, which would save about $150,000, but hasn't made a decision.
Paris and his staff are preparing a proposed budget for the coming fiscal year, which begins July 1.
Brindle will take over the city's sometimes strained relationship with Norfolk Southern railroad, which Mikkelson handled for years, including the city's pursuit of rehabilitating Shober Bridge.
Brindle will not inherit another controversial project, however. Paris said the city will keep Statesville Boulevard the way it is — four lanes — when the state restripes the road.
The city had considered using the restriping opportunity to make the boulevard three lanes with a bike lane, which would have slowed down traffic. While some liked the idea, many neighbors strongly opposed the change.
"The road will be repaved and stay as it is," Paris said. "We didn't have the time needed to properly seek community consensus."
When Morris left, Paris named longtime City Planner Janet Gapen as interim planning director. Her former position remains vacant, and Paris said he will look for a permanent planning director.
Since Paris took the reins at the city two years ago, several top administrators have left, including Morris, Mikkelson, Public Information Director Karen Wilkinson and Fibrant Director Mike Crowell.
Other than Crowell, who was replaced by Mike Jury from the private sector, Paris turned to other city employees to fill the vacancies, at least temporarily.
"We have a lot of talented people to step in," he said.
When he became city manager, Paris consolidated four positions and promoted Zach Kyle as the new assistant city manager for human resources and Elaney Hasselmann as the new public information and communications manager.
The change saved $180,000 and helped balance this year's budget, Paris said.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Dynamat Xtreme Mega Pak by Dominic Devito Ask any installer. Dynamat Xtreme sound damping material keeps road noise out, so you'll hear more music using less power, effectively increasing your amplifier's output. This damping material — a butyl composite with a layer of aluminum — conforms and fuses to automotive body surfaces such as floor pans and doors. You'll hear less unwanted noise caused by vibrations and resonance and more of your favorite music, especially in the low-frequency range. The 10465 Mega Pak includes nine 24" x 48" sheets of Dynamat Xtreme, for a total of 72 square feet. A car door typically requires about 5 square feet of Dynamat Xtreme, but you can apply it just about anywhere. Dynamat Xtreme is designed with an energy-reflective aluminum layer ideal for high-temperature areas and high sound pressure level situations, offering four times the damping power of Original Dynamat.

Features Installation Dimensions Features Dynamat Xtreme: Dynamat Xtreme provides 4 times the damping efficiency of Original Dynamat, the conforming ability of Premium Dynamat, and the radiant energy reflection of Super Dynamat. Dynamat Xtreme has an aluminum layer for high-temperature areas and requires "no heat" for an easy, moldable installation. Self-Adhesive Sheets: Each sheet has a high-tack permanent adhesive with a peel-off plastic liner on the back of the Dynamat Xtreme. Easy-to-Cut Materials: All materials cut easily with scissors or a razor knife. Installation Basic Installation Steps: Clean the mounting surface. Using a razor knife or scissors, cut the Dynamat to the desired size. Remove the blue release liner from the back of the Dynamat and apply to the mounting surface. Apply pressure, working the Dynamat into the contours of the mounting surface. Work air out with a roller tool (eliminating air pockets will ensure lasting adhesion of the Dynamat to the surface, giving you maximum damping effect). Repeat the same process for each sheet of Dynamat.

The road noise created by the performance exhaust system, stiffer suspension, and wider tires is enough that I just never worried about music quality. So, why did I install it? Installing Dynamat in the floorpan, doors, back quarter panels, rear shelf, trunk, and trunk lid (all done with one Dynamat Extreme Mega Pack) has reduce the internal noise level in my car by what I estimate to be 40%. My wife was amazed the first time she rode in the car after the install. She was excited that she could enjoy a fun ride and be able to have a conversation without yelling over the car noise. Now if Dynamat could find a way to keep the noise out while the windows were down, I'd be in heaven! Now that the road noise is reduced so significantly, I have started playing with sound system upgrades. Suggestion: Invest in a good quality roller instead of a cheap one, a good blade to cut the pieces with, and a heat gun. I started the project without any of these and quickly realized just how valuable they were. It may add a little more to the cost, but trust me, all of it is worth EVERY PENNY! Pros: In a normal car, it would sound silent in your car, in a throaty sports car it reduces down the noise so you can enjoy the power without comprimise! Cons: Death by a million cuts. LOL Installation will result in minor cuts in your hands nomatter how carefull you are if you're not wearng gloves! Also, installation on a level like I did will require a full weekend. You'll want to strip the interior of your car out to do the job right, and you want to do the job right. It's not a quick fix. 33 out of 35 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

CrockPot Christmas Ornaments
Day 345.
Katy emailed me yesterday and I saw on her blog how she made the most adorable ornaments for her Christmas tree. The kids and I got to work at once making some salt dough. Ours weren't as cute, but we had a bunch of fun rolling out the dough while singing (loudly!) to carols playing on the satellite TV channel.
The Ingredients.
1 cup salt
3 cups flour (I used Pamela's because that's the only stuff I had in the house. Inexpensive rice flour would be the best bet for those who can't handle wheat)
1 cup luke warm water
1 T vegetable oil
The Directions.
Mix dough with hand or stand mixer until it reaches a ball. If needed, add 1 tablespoon more water while mixing. The dough will be sticky, but will hold shape when molded.
Make ornaments (or beads for stringing). We made a bunch of beads to create a garland, and a few cut-out shapes for regular ornaments with playdough cookie cutters. Use a chopstick to make a hole in the center of the ornaments--you need to have a good amount of dough surrounding the hole so it doesn't crumble when hung.
Line the bottom of your crockpot with parchment paper. I did not do this, and it was a bad idea. Place dough creations into the bottom of your crockpot. I used both of my 6 quart crockpots for this project. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, flipping once.
The ornaments are done when they are hard to the touch and have browned slightly. I did overcook a few, but after a coat of paint you can't tell.
After they have cooled completely, paint. We only had crayola poster paint in the house, so that's what we used. A paint that dries with a shiny coat would look better. Seal with a varnish or Mod Podge. I haven't done this yet, but I'll get some Mod Podge next time I'm at Michael's.
The Verdict.
These were a lot of fun for us. My four-year-old kept eating the dough which was a little weird, but we were all in a good mood, and made memories. I like salt dough a lot, and have used it to make hand and foot prints. I liked using the crockpot instead of the oven this year because we ended up with NO casualties---none of the pieces cracked, and the slow cooking meant I could fuss around with the pieces and move them around to ensure an even bake. I have a half-batch of the dough left wrapped up in the fridge, so this weekend we'll get some nicer paint and make some more ornaments to give as gifts.
If you're looking for dinner for tonight, my crockpot lasagna recipe and brie with cranberries and candied pecans is up today at Wasabimon.

Is the varnish essential? Will they rot otherrwise! ;-) I do not have access to varnish I would trust around my kids.
- December 10, 2008 at 11:20 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Connie,
Mod Podge is a decopauge glue and that would be the best bet, or you could use a white glue and water wash. I've never had salt dough NOT rot after a year or two, lol, so it probably doesn't really matter if you seal it or not. The longest-lasting ornaments I've had have been the kids' foot prints and I didn't paint them, but colored the dough with some food coloring.

We decided to make thumbprint/handprint ornaments for the grandparents with your inspiration. We aren't nearly as crafty. Well, I say we, but I mean I. The girls just donated their hands for the imprints. I also made little baby Jesuses and crosses. I have to admitthat punching holes in baby Jesus felt wrong. I figure that teaching the kids the meaning of Christmas is a good enough reason to chance it.

I have really enjoyed your blog for a few months now and am starting to panic that your "year" is only 20 days away! Will you continue? My granddaughter will be here over Christmas and I may do the salt dough to make her hand prints for her mommy and daddy for a surprise gift. Thanks for the idea!

I just made cinnamon dough ornaments with the students at school today. That might be a good alternative to wheat flour, since all you need is cinnamon, applesauce and white glue. Plus they smell great. Too bad I didn't see your post earlier, because I came home and baked them all when I could have baked them in the crockpot at school.

love your blog & all the recipes, I found through someone who had posted on my blog she(Carol) has you on her blog list, wehn I saw your coconut chicken curry recipe I almost got excited lol there is a Chinese resterant here that makes the best coconut chicken,chicken breast nuggets lightly battered & fried, topped off with pineapple chunks/bellpepper/coconut smootered with a coconut sauce which he claims is just coconut ,well I don't think so for I've tried several times to make coconut milk taste like that lol , almost like the sweetness of a funnel cake, oh well didn't mean to rambel so lol

My sister and I just found your blog and love it! We both tried the Macaroni 'n Cheese recipe and it was wonderful.
Are you starting to think of a special dinner for your last day, New Years Eve?
- December 11, 2008 at 5:29 AM
Love this recipe! Thank you!!!
Do you just stack the cookies in the crock pot? Don't they stick together? And when you paint/varnish, do you do both sides or just one? This is my first time making ornaments and it'll be fun with daddy and the kids, THANK YOU!
- December 13, 2008 at 8:14 PM
Not quite understanding this...doesn't seem like you can "cook" more than two or three ornaments at a time.
- December 26, 2008 at 11:57 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi Anon, it depends on the size. I used 2 crockpots and we got about 30 ornaments.
Many were smallish doughnut-shaped ones that we strung together a few at a time and sprinkled with glitter.

PowerTools for Open XML now contains a new class, OpenXmlRegex, which enables you to search and replace in DOCX and PPTX using regular expressions. Further, this class supports revision tracking - it works properly if you are searching in a document that contains existing revision tracking, and it optionally enables you to introduce new revision tracking markup when replacing text. This task is a little more complicated than it might seem because text can be split into multiple runs, and as appropriate we want the code to match text that spans runs.
In the screen-cast Search and Replace Content in DOCX, PPTX using Regular Expressions, I demonstrate the class, explain the API of the class, and discuss some of the more interesting aspects of introduction of revision tracking markup.
In the screen-cast How the OpenXmlRegex Class Works, I discuss the algorithm that the class uses. This will be interesting to students of Open XML and document formats.

A stunning loss at the United Center in Game 7 ended the Hawks' season. One bounce off Nick Leddy's shoulder and into the goal was all it took for LA to knock off the defending champs and return to the Finals for the second time in three years. A tough loss to swallow for sure but almost all the key players will be back next season and you know the Hawks will be highly competitive once again, still reigning as the hottest franchise in hockey.
The 2013-2014 season saw the Chicago Blackhawks foster new rivalries thanks to the new realignment plan for the NHL. In the Western Conference, the Central Division proved to be a competitive division for the Blackhawks with the Minnesota Wild, Colorado Avalanche, and St. Louis Blues proving to be the biggest rivals. The Blackhawks have had some tough road trips this season and stumbled into the playoffs at a lower seeding than last year, but roster depth and postseason experience have proven to be huge. The Hawks took down two of those rivals, the Blues and the Wild, in exhaustingly physical series of six games, setting up an epic conference final rematch with the Los Angeles Kings which went the full seven games.
The Blackhawks experienced a lot of adversity this season, which explains most of the regular season struggles. The tail end of the season saw superstar players Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane experiencing injuries that kept them off the ice for crucial parts of the stretch run. The Blackhawks had only had the two of them off the ice at the same time once in the last seven seasons prior so were happy to get them back just in time for the playoffs. Kane, Toews, Patrick Sharp, and Marian Hossa all had at least 28 goals in big seasons for the NHL's second-highest scoring team.
Depth in the roster still runs deep with forwards Bryan Bickell, Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw, Marcus Kruger, Michal Handzus and Brandon Bollig; they also have strong defenseman in Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Nick Leddy, Johnny Oduya, Michal Rozsival and Sheldon Brookbank. Antti Ranta (13-5-4) has been a reliable backup for Corey Crawford (32-16-10), who himself has become one of the best goalies in the league.
Since their inception in 1926, the Chicago Blackhawks have won the Stanley Cup five times: 1934, 1938, 1961, 2010 and 2013. They'll be back at it in October looking to cement their status as a dynasty with a third title. and get amazing seats at the United Center through Gold Coast Tickets today!

You might have heard the term STEM mentioned lately.
The acronym that has educators, businesses and politicians abuzz, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is considered the cornerstone to our nation's prosperity. It is an interdisciplinary approach to learning by combining multiple academic subjects and focusing on real-world lessons. It is about students applying science, technology, engineering and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work and the world around them while moving students forward – creating stronger problem solvers and more creative innovators to lead the global economy.
According to the National Academy of Sciences, innovation, largely derived from advances in science and engineering, is a primary driver of the future economy and creation of jobs. However, the percentage of science and engineering degrees awarded annually peaked in the 1960's. In Central Florida, we actually lag behind. Only 20% of the degrees awarded in Central Florida are in the STEM fields, compared to 30% nationally.
Students are finishing high school without being fully prepared for college. According to The Condition of College & Career Readiness 2013 report, only 19% of Florida's class of 2013 scored "college-ready" on all four ACT exams. When compared to performance nationally, Florida ranked 41st in math and 48th in science on the 2013 ACT. In an increasingly competitive world, where innovation is the key to a flourishing economy, the need for us to educate ourselves and our children in STEM fields is more pressing than ever.
Orlando Science Center is taking a stand in the efforts to revitalize STEM education in our community. Whether you encounter us here in the facility with your family, with your Scout organization, on a field trip, or even through one of our off-site school programs, our goal is the same – to show people that exploring these critical areas in an informal way can be fun, exciting and even inspiring.
Our hope is that you'll take the things you discovered as a result of your time with us and use them as a springboard to explore at home and in school too. Our ultimate goal is to create a STEM-centered community that paves the way towards excellence in science, technology, engineering and math.
If future generations don't receive an adequate STEM education, they won't have the opportunity for the highest paying jobs, compete in a global market or fill the STEM pipeline that leads to economic growth. We hope you'll join us on this journey!
20 March 2014
Posted in Community
On March 5, 2014, Orlando Science Center and partners including Lockheed Martin, Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Museum of Science and Industry (Tampa), STEM Sim Ex, FIRST and Team Orlando converged in Tallahassee to facilitate discussion with state legislators; engage them in active participation of hands-on STEM activities; and promote the value of science centers and strategic partnerships as a tool to inspire and encourage our youth to pursue STEM careers.
In this video, Orlando Science Center President & CEO JoAnn Newman talks about the STEM crisis and what science centers, industry and education are doing about it; Tobi Allen, Community Relations Manager at Lockheed Martin, talks about the importance of getting kids excited about STEM careers; Science Center Educator Emily Duguid breaks down the life-size Angry Birds activity; and Rep. Charles McBurney of Jacksonville comments on the impact STEM learning can have on today's youth.

How do I get my concrete to cure faster!
How do I get my concrete to cure faster!
Hi guys, I had a 4" floor poured back on 30th May and need it coated asap. We're using 1 coat each Flowseal EPW, OP and UV. The company applying it want 75% RH. I've put in four Rapid RH readers last week. The first readings are 13'C and 99%, wait a couple minutes and they're 96%...?
I stare at the floor with hatred every day but it doesn't seem to cure any quicker!!
The floor is in a large hangar with no heat. Ambient conditions are around 13'C and 75% humidity
Any tricks to get it cured faster?
Thanks heaps for any advice!
RE: How do I get my concrete to cure faster!
First thing, welcome to the forum.
You have a good(better) news bad news scenario. First, bad news....I doubt, very seriously, given the ambient conditions of the facility, that 75%RH, internally in the slab, will be achieved for many months, if not years. Curing the concrete is one thing, based on the time you have described since concrete placement, the concrete has done most of its hardening. Drying to an acceptable level for a coating is quite another issue. The combination of heat and low RH in the air will give the slab the appropriate conditions for drying. Unfortunately, your RH differential between the slab and the air is low, thus making any moisture movement from the slab into the air slow. Most people will say, that to dry concrete as effeciently as possible you need:
1) Higher ambient dry heat in conjunction with low ambient RH%.
2) Air movement across the concrete.
3) Dehumidifcation equipment.
The heat and low ambient RH% allow the moisture in the concrete to move more rapidly from an area of high RH to an area of low RH. The air movement helps the moisture move out of the capillaries, once it has moved to the surface of the slab, and into the air. The dehumidifier then captures this increased moisture from the air, in order to keep the ambient RH% conducive for the cycle to continue. In your situation though, you may go through this, only to find out that once you put the environment back to its natural ambient RH%, the moisture will be reabsorbed into the concrete.
Now the good news, or at least better news. I called Flowcreate in Texas after looking at the technical data sheets for the products you are using. The EPW is being promoted for "green" concrete. When I spoke with their technical person, he confirmed that 95%RH is the number they look for with this product because it is a water based epoxy. After looking further, it looks like the OP product for texture may be the biggest problem because it is a 100% solid epoxy. Is there any chance that something else can be done for texture? I definitely am not an expert on these products, but it might be something worth investigating if timing is critical.
RE: How do I get my concrete to cure faster!
Hi Jason,
Thanks for your welcome and reply. Also appreciate your efforts contacting Flowcrete! All 4 sensors are now consistently showing 99%RH and a fairly consistent 12'C. I have had two sheets of polythene taped to the floor for a couple days now and getting no condensation or even signs of a damp patch on the floor? But I suspect perhaps the low air temps and highish humidity are slowing the evaporation?
The Rapid RH units are quite new to New Zealand, no one in my area has seen them before. The supplier is showing a great deal of interest in the project as well
I now have a large gas heater keeping the hangar temp around 12'C at night (ambient is dropping to 0'C at night) and also fans circulating air. Hopefully this will help...
Unfortunately my very limited budget means we have to stick with the products mentioned, they seem to be the best I can afford. Are there any alternates you could suggest?
Thanks again for your help
RE: How do I get my concrete to cure faster!
Polyethylene will show condensation only if the moisture coming from the slab is able to condense on a cool polyethylene surface. Calcium Chloride tests involve sealing a plastic dome on concrete and measuring the amount of water absorbed by a dish of CaCl crystals. Many times the concrete will not pass the CaCl test, but how many times have you seen moisture condense on the inside of the dome?
First be sure your test probes were properly installed, at the proper depth, hole vacuumed and cleaned correctly and the probes have acclimated at least 24 hours. After that is verified you can trust the results you are seeing.
Also verify that the slab is constructed properly for the planned flooring. If the flooring is moisture sensitive (such as the floor coating you are contemplating) a properly installed and functioning sub-slab moisture retarder is necessary. Without that, or if it has been compromised with punctures and cuts, slab moisture can be subject to extreme variation over time.
Insure no slab curing or sealing compounds have been applied.
Assuming all the above conditions have been met, Jason is spot-on with his recommendations for accelerating the drying of concrete. Concrete is a sponge, in your case a wet sponge. To dry it you will need low ambient relative humidity (dehumidifiers will help), air movement, and heat will help (warm air holds more moisture than cool air).
An open porous slab will dry much faster than a steel-troweled, hard, dense surface slab. If your concrete is burned black with a steel trowel it may never dry. You may consider opening the surface with a coarse grinder or light bead blast. To check the porosity of your concrete, drop a single drop of water on the slab (about the size of a dime) and time how long it takes to absorb into the concrete. If it takes over a minute, your slab is relatively non-absorptive.
Ultimately you may have to change your flooring finish and go with something that can be installed on wet concrete. There are many finishes that breathe and perform quite well.
As a last resort, the floor could be mitigated using an epoxy sealer that permanently locks in the moisture and alkalinity. These systems provide a warranty against failure for 15 years, but of course there is an additional cost to install them.

Hope those gas heaters are not propane. The exaust from propane has a high moisture content.

Yes it does! So does kerosene which you see as the white trails left in the sky by jets. It's moisture freezing in the cold dry air up there.
Temporary heaters also tend to contribute to elevated CO levels, increasing the carbonation at the concrete surface. I had a couple projects that had so much carbonated concrete due to unvented temporary heat that the concrete surface was soft and easily scratched with a pocket knife.

Currency and interest rate risks are a few of the ways that businesses are engaging in financial transactions to hedge their risks. While many companies identify hedging transactions for financial accounting purposes, they may not specifically identify them as hedging transactions for tax purposes. Not doing so can impact the character of the gain or loss when the hedge is finally closed out. Further, the method of accounting for certain hedges could be affected if they are not timely identified.
These character and timing changes can create unwanted tax exposure and financial reporting risks. The highly experienced tax team at Deloitte can help.
We have in-depth experience in the many aspects of hedging transactions and years of experience in working with companies in a variety of industries on their hedging issues.

June 2014
Hi there,
after a longer period in which the prices for a lot of our models remained unchanged we have now - though it is difficult for us - to react to the changed . Mainly the purchase of movements is getting more and more expensive (but of course this stands also for the complete list of components).
Partially we deliver our watches with the movements we could buy at a cheaper price.
The new deliveries of movements (at highly increased prices) have to be considered now in two steps:
Therefore the price increase for the following models is done in two steps:
As from June 18, 2014 and from November 1, 2014 we will change the price for the models listed below as follows:
ANTEA KS - to EUR 695,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1st to EUR 730,- net)
Marine Original - to EUR 880,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1st to EUR 980,- net)
(good news - by optimising the case production we no more have to charge an additional price for the matt case!)
Seatime - to EUR 780,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1 to EUR 880,- net)
Unfortunately besides the problems with the movements also the prices for case and crystals which will
be increased in the near future are concerned).
Prodiver - to EUR 980,- net from June 18, 2014
(from November 1st up to EUR 980,- , unfortunately we have the same situation here as with the Seatime, so also the prices
for the cases and crystals will be increased in the near future).
Flieger Unitas 6498 to EUR 880,- net from June 18, 2014 (from November 1 up to EUR 980,- EUR net)
Antea KS 41 to EUR 880,- net from June 18, 2014
(no further increase in 2014!).
Supplement dated October 15, 2014
Partitio automatic and handwinding to EUR 690,- net from now on
(no further increase in 2014!)
The following models are excluded from the price increase for 2014:
Flieger no Logo automatic
Flieger no Logo with date automatic
Flieger Logo automatic
Flieger with Logo and date automatic
Flieger Baumuster "B"
Flieger Chronograph
Antea 365
Antea 390
Antea KS 41
Chrono 1938 white
Chrono 1938 black
Flieger GMT
Also in future we want to build our watches with the best components. We could look for a cheaper supplier but already since 1927
STOWA stands for best quality and best design as well as a customer friendly service. This is also in future our aim!
Therefore also in future we want to adhere to the well-known and proven suppliers of the market to make sure that we can deliver our
watches with the consistent quality!

TESTAF wins japanese "Grand Prix" watch award!
October 2013
TESTAF successfully passed certification!
We are pleased that we have received in the last days the TESTAF certification of the FH Aachen for our model "FLIEGER TESTAF TO1".
Our watch passed the extensive tests right away.
Especially the vibration and shock test caused us quite a headache while developing this watch but some of the constructive details have been used within the last 20 years from time to time for other models.
Now we have built this watch with all our knowledge and can rightly say:
"We have built the best STOWA Flieger watch that ever existed".
Have again a look of this watch in our onlineshop.
See you soon
Your STOWA Team
