Why did builders stop using planks for subfloors?
And what are the benefits of plywood?
Installation cost and cost of material much less.
Many years ago (1973) I bought a new home ion Silverdale, Washington, while stationed at the Navy Yard.
The first floor had joists every four feet - I believe they were 4"X8" - with the sub floor being "car-decking" - like used on ships for shipping automobiles. I believe the car decking was VERY ROUGH tongue-in-groove 2"X6". Big knot holes, etc.
Now that was a substantial squeak proof house.
The second floor was conventional plywood subflooring over 2"X ?
Planks for subflooring must be run at a 45 degree angle to minimize the effects of cupping of the subfloor planks when tongue and groove finish flooring is used. At the angle, the finish flooring rests on the high spots of the subfloor. Cutting and nailing the subfloor is very labor intensive as well as the waste that results from the angle end cuts.
Why did builders stop using planks for subfloors?
Why is plywood beneficial?
Money again.
Same reason sheet rock has replaced lath and plaster for walls.
When planks were in wide use, that was because they were the best material available---no plywood yet.
When plywood was perfected, the planking quickly became more expensive---mostly due to labor costs.
That makes plywood less expensive than planking to install. The 4' by 8' area covered by one sheet of ply would take 6-8 planks. A sheet of plywood can be nailed down in 45 seconds---the same area in planks more like a minute and a half---after more labor to put planks in place.
Plywood is made using materials that would not be viable by themselves. Plywood is dimensionally more staple than solid wood---when manufactured properly. Reason is because the plies used run in different directions in each layer---reducing movement.
Plywood is also less expensive to handle/ship in similar amounts as planking.

Indeed, I've not seen one laid that way on any of the TV reality shows dealing with old houses."
In your original response you alluded to 2X6 T & G.
T & G, in and of it's self, because of the design, resists horizontal, IE. diaphragm, deflection.
I suspect the reason it has not been highlighted on the TV programs is that its seldom worth the time to repair in place.
After all, its cheap and dirty TV.
TV isn't real life. Most especially ''home improvement'' TV shows. They do the whole industry a huge disservice.
Talking of economy; on at least 2 old houses I have worked on, the 1x6 t&g subfloor bore traces of concrete; they used the material as the forms when pouring the foundation walls, then reused it for the subfloor on the ground level. Since at that time (10's-30's) real plaster was being done, it would be no less than 3 months before finish floors went down, and that gave the subfloor plenty of time to dry back out.
It came to me when I was in the basement looking up at concrete-stained boards, and looking over to the 6" horizontal lines (and wood grain shadowing) on the poured concrete walls!
"TV isn't real life. Most especially ''home improvement'' TV shows. They do the whole industry a huge disservice."
Oh for crying out loud. I simply stated that I had not SEEN any diagonal sub floors on any of these shows (nor in any home I've owned.)
I did not give any opinion as to these show's merit or other value and I don't think any of us benefit from pontification about them.
" RE: Stupid (?) question = Quick (?) answer.

Schedule "C" layout is a 50% lap, sheet to sheet, row to row.
Since you are "replacing," which I interpret as the walls are remaining, no matter which you select, you are going to be doing a lot of blocking and installing nailers.
Since plywoods grain, on both sides is the long way, plywood is installed with the long dimension perpendicular to the joists, there will be some waste, however accounting for the value of your time.............
Do not reverse a cut-off in an effort to save a little money, because you'll end up with a spongy section. In fact you can try this out by walking on a sheet of plywood laid out in both directions.
You should be using T & G, CDX floor sheating, and if you are not using T & G you need to install blocking for the edges.
Sombreuil_mongrel: My 1940 house also reused concrete form boards this way. In the crawlspace doing some work, wondered what the heck is that gray dust on the underside of the subfloor? Concrete dust!
It is surprising at the pseudo experts who have posted to this thread.
Quote from the link below: "As far as wood subfloors go, this is what NOFMA (National Oak Flooring Manufactures Association) and NWFA (National Wood Flooring Association) have to say. All solid wood floors should be nailed down (nail, staple/cleat) to an approved wood subfloor. Approved wood subfloors are listed in order; best to least preferable. This is based purely on the materials nail holding capability.
⢠Best: 1" x 6" solid #2 or better Douglas fir or frame grade pine boards installed diagonally across floor joists 16" on center(OC)."
Their stated reason is the nail holding ability of the plank subflooring-- but that was not the primary reason we did it that way long ago.
While diagonal sheathing properly installed does increase the racking resistance of a structure, the racking forces on a floor system are not substantial.
People constantly implore government to make housing more affordable and government responds with more codes, regulations, zoning that increases the cost. Being one of those formerly in poverty who lived in an area that did not (at that time, but now does) have onerous regulations, we bought some property, logged on that property enough to make the lumber required to build a house and moved in with no debt-- mortgage free. The subfloor was boards of various widths and species that were not suitable for finish lumber-- to be painted or stained. Suppose that one had subfloor boards that are 8" wide and place finished flooring 2 1/4" wide on the subfloor board. The finish floor will follow the cup of the subfloor.The result is a roller coaster. And diagonal subflooring has less effect on creating shrinkage cracks in the finish flooring.
We used those boards for the subfloor because they were what we had! The wall and roof sheathing are the type boards.
I stand firmly with my original post above

How to Feed 422 Nerds a Thanksgiving Feast [Infographic]
Every year, the families of our executive committee team up to put together a homemade Thanksgiving feast for our staff. My first Nerdery Thanksgiving was back in 2007.

Study Suggests That Immigrants Soaked Up 2/3rds Of The Jobs Gains
(Washington Times) Two-thirds of those who have found employment under President Obama are immigrants, both legal and illegal, according to an analysis that suggests immigration has soaked up a large portion of what little job growth there has been over the past three years.
The Center for Immigration Studies is releasing the study Thursday morning, a day ahead of the final Labor Department unemployment report of the campaign season, which is expected to show a sluggish job market more than three years into the economic recovery.
That slow market, combined with the immigration numbers, could explain why Mr. Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have struggled to find a winning jobs message in some of the country's hardest-hit postindustrial regions.
"It's extraordinary that most of the employment growth in the last four years has gone to the foreign-born, but what's even more extraordinary is the issue has not even come up during a presidential election that is so focused on jobs," said Steven A. Camarota, the center's research director, who wrote the report along with demographer Karen Zeigler.
His numbers are stark: Since the first quarter of 2009, the number of immigrants of working age (16 to 65) who are employed has risen 2 million, from 21.2 million to 23.2 million. During the same time, native-born employment has risen just 1 million, to reach 119.9 million.
Oh, and speaking of jobs reports, the Labor Department will release it's jobs report on time Friday. ADP has their report out now
Companies added 158,000 jobs in October, data from a payrolls processor showed on Thursday in a revamped report on the private sector labor market.
That sound pretty good, eh? Liberals were ecstatic over that report. But…
The historical data for the ADP National Employment Report was revised as part of the new methodology, which was used for the first time in the October report. September's increase has halved to 88,200 new jobs from an initially reported 162,000.
This is the Obameconomy.

Looking for one more receiver
Mailbag: Coveted Tampa prospect Agholor is unlikely, but S.C.'s speedy Davis isn't
Updated: November 18, 2011, 1:14 PM ETBy Kipp Adams | DawgNation
ATHENS, Ga. -- With the loss of Lonnie Outlaw from the 2012 class, what is the latest in the Bulldogs' pursuit of wide receivers? Could Georgia really sign the top two running backs in North Carolina? DawgNation answers those questions and more in this week's recruiting mailbag. BleacheReportFC: Which receiver do you see us landing, if any ... Patterson or Agholor? Could we steal Ja'Quay Williams from Auburn? KA: Right now Georgia has one wide receiver committed in Blake Tibbs (Lithonia, Ga./Martin Luther King), and the Bulldogs would like to bring in another wideout to close out the 2012 class. All three of the prospects you named are at the top of the board for the Bulldogs, but it appears Cordarrelle Patterson (Hutchinson, Kan./Hutchinson CC) is the target Georgia has the best shot with right now. Patterson will be in Knoxville this weekend for his official visit to Tennessee. It will be his third trip to see the Volunteers, and they could have a slight edge over Georgia. But the Bulldogs will get their shot to impress the 6-foot-4 juco on Dec. 9 at the senior gala banquet. Until Nelson Agholor (Tampa, Fla./Berkeley Prep) or Williams (Tyrone, Ga./Sandy Creek) schedule an official to Georgia, neither should be considered serious possibilities to end up in Athens. Williams appears solid to Auburn (for now), and while Agholor has kept his recruitment to himself for the majority of this year, Georgia has not been mentioned recently. Two other prospects to watch in the next two months are Quinshad Davis (Gaffney, S.C./Gaffney) and Charlie Hegedus (Marietta, Ga./Lassiter), an N.C. State commitment. They competed at Dawg Night in July and are taller, productive targets who could receive offers if their senior film impresses.

Companion series to the spring 2015 book club featuring "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton.
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Everyone is so worried about success and getting this or that honorable diploma—the people here are smart and understand many complex things perfectly—but it's a long distance from the head to the heart.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.

Discussion in 'Disney Resorts' started by stindall, Jan 6, 2013.
What is this review you are all talking about? Where do I find it?
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
WARNING: Do not watch this if you have reservations at ASMU and are excited about it ! LOL.
These guys are pretty tough on ASMU . Mostly the food court, but there general dislike for ASMU is heard "Loud and clear". Looks like Music needs to clean up their act a little, so maybe this review getting out there is a good thing for guests.
Fortunately for us, we take everything with a grain is salt. We stayed at other hotels where people raved about and we absolutely hated it and would never go back.
Thanks for the link.
The only thing worth noting is that these guys DO go to all of the Disney resorts for their reviews. Its not a value resort bashing, just a ASMU smackdown lol. There are some deluxe resorts that they dont like, and one of the resorts they really like is Fort Wilderness also. So I think these guys are calling it like they see it.
Of course it is just their opinion, so I guess we will never know until we try it out ourselves.
Have fun watching, its pretty amusing .
Ok so I am a newbie and totally confused.... We have 5 in our family going and trying to be cost conscious....we were thinking 2 rooms at ASMU or a family suite there (but did someone say discounts would Not apply to suites if there were any before our trip?) then some say that by the time you do two rooms value you could have done a mod suite? Do I have this correct?? I want to be conservative but don't want to miss drying at a mod or deluxe for a "little" more... Can some one help?
I would price both packages and see what the differences are. Is your group 5 adults? If not what are the ages of the children? I think you could do a mod for the price of 2 rooms at a value but it might not give you the space you really need that you would have in 2 value rooms...kwim. When are you going? What discount are you trying to get?
Often discounts DO NOT apply to the family suites. If your party of 5 consists of 2 adults and 3 children you could stay at POR in a room with a trundle bed....this room would cost much less than 2 rooms at a value or a family suite. You can also get some rooms at the deluxe resorts that accomodate 5 but this will cost a similar amount to getting a family suite depending on the time or year and any available discounts. It is possible for a deluxe to cost a little less than a family suite....you would need to get a discount.
Second option is the Fort Wilderness cabins....not cheap but if the theme is OK for you it's worth checking into as they have a kitchen. You can save a few dollars preparing light meals.
Third option....rent DVC points
Fourth option....stay offsite. There are many places that are extremely close to WDW property.
We stayed at the ASMU last May and ran into none of the problems the guys in this video talked about! The rooms were very clean--no horrible bleach smell, but smelled clean.
I have no idea what they're talking about in the food court either. We ate there quite a bit and had wonderful meals! There was a great variety and each one of us (17 in all) was always able to find something we liked. The Cast Members were also very nice and accommodating.
I don't know if these guys are just resort snobs or have tons of money to spend or what, but I think the ASMU is a wonderful resort for those of us that aren't snobs. We plan on staying there again next year when we go to DW.
Questions like Dreamer2012 are when a Disney Travel Planner can be a good idea for you. As an Authorized Disney Planner, I always look at every scenario for my clients to find them the best place and deal for their family. A lot depends on the ages of your children, when you are going and what promotions are being offered. I always work very closely with my clients to make sure they are getting the best bang for their buck!
Resort snobs? Last visit we started our 10 days at the Polynesian because I wanted to watch the monorails pass close by outside my AOTEAROA balcony,ride the motor launch back to the resort after closing down the MK while others waited in huge lines to board buses, monorails and ferry boats, walk to and from the TTC for our Epcot days and have Tonga Toast for breakfast, drink too much out of those medicinal pineapples at Ohanas and relax in a hammock on a white sand beach with a view of the castle. After doing that, we spent some nights at the POFQ so we could take a boat ride to DTD get blasted at Raglan Road and sing loud Irish Songs on the boat ride back. Last 2 nights was spent on Broadway at the AS-music. If that is why we might seem like snobs...GUILTY.
DIS UNPLUGGED sends me back to anger management classes! Um, for the 49th time.
Longest walking distance at AS Music is 1400ft as measure from Googly maps. Walking 3mph would take 5min; walking at 2mph takes 8min. The other 2 AS resorts have 1000 ft as longest walking distances.
We have had no issues at ASMu either. We very much enjoyed our stays there and would go back again in the future. We spend a lot of time at the resort (we actually relax on vacation) and have had many meals in the food court. We have had multiple experiences with the CM's were I would say they have gone above and beyond. Have there been CM's that were just polite and nothing else? YES, but that will happen anyplace.
I think the issue is that these men are given free stays in resorts to do the reports they do and are Disney fanatics that have experienced all the resorts and restaurants. Look at the resort they were reporting from; the brand new Disney resort in Hawaii and a suite to boot with the smell of fresh ocean and pineaples in your nostrils. I am sure the food there is wonderful and different as well. If you were in paradise in the most beautiful room you ever experienced with wonderful fresh foods your review on a Disney Value would be similar. lol It's all in the perspective.
Just watched the video review and am taking it, no pun intended, with a grain of salt. We always stay at All Stars (usually Sports) but will be at Music for the first time in September. These resorts fit us just fine as most of our day will be in the parks. This trip will be just me and the DW and we can save money by staying here, have a clean place to stay, Disney transportation, etc so the Food Court issue is not a deal breaker
I will say however that in May we did notice the same non-magical attitude among the CMs in the Food Court at Sports. Not quite rude but very much "don't expect me to wish you a Magical Day. You are on vacation but this is my job."
Anyway looking forward to the visit and a return to Disney!
That non magical attitude from some CM's at Disney has been going on for years and at all resorts and parks if you look for it. Some are extremely nice and really seem to enjoy people and their jobs. Others seem like they could take or leave people and it is just a job. Some are down right miserable and the guest is always a pain and so is their job. They just are not training the CM's like they did in the past, they make very low wages and with a lot their hours fluxtuate so much they couldn't get a second job if they needed and/or wanted to. Not that it makes it right to not do your job to it's fullest.
Hi all! Are the toiletries in the room still hand soap, body soap and a shampoo/conditioner mix? Trying to work on packing lists.
I got back yesterday. The answer to my question is yes the coffee makers are the Cuisinart dual cup machines.

Fall crappie fishing is outstanding in the Midwest
As the summer starts to wind down and fall gets closer, anglers should start thinking about some fall fishing strategies. Fishing opportunities for a wide variety of fish are outstanding in the fall across the Midwest.
In many areas of the Midwest, crappies are abundant. Crappies are fun to catch and they're great on the table. If you keep a couple of ideas in mind you should be able to have outstanding crappie action for the next few months.

Clean Energy Bill signed by President Bush
October 3, 2008
The newest economic stabilization bill includes clean energy tax incentives --
Consulting-Specifying Engineer, 10/8/2008 7:39:00 AM--
President Bush signed the $700 billion Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424) into law on Oct. 3, 2008, which also extended and enhanced critical tax credits and financing relating to renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008, which was attached to H.R. 1424, provides a one-year extension of the production tax credit (PTC) for wind energy, keeping the credit in effect through 2009. The bill also provides a two-year PTC extension, through 2010, for electricity produced from geothermal, biomass, and solar energy facilities, as well as trash-to-energy facilities, small hydropower facilities using irrigation water, capacity additions to existing hydropower plants, and hydropower facilities added to existing dams.

College basketball: FGCU-Mercer now on TV after technical difficulties
Dunk City's appearance didn't start out being televised.
A power surge knocked out the lights at Alico Arena on the Florida Gulf Coast University campus before player introductions on Sunday afternoon. The game was delayed roughly 15 minutes, but ESPN2 could not get the game on the air due to technical difficulties.
The FGCU men's basketball Twitter account stated the power surge left ESPN's truck without power, not allowing the game to be televised.
The game finally came on the air with roughly 11:45 left in the first half, and FGCU trailing 12-6.

PR firm founder seizes opportunities to keep company growing
After getting married and relocating the firm to Houston in 1999, Carreño began expanding CapWest's client base, diversifying industries and lines of business. The firm quickly made a name for itself in the public sector, helping government entities with strategy campaigns.
By the time Miller Brewing was acquired by a South African firm in 2002, CapWest's original client was responsible for only 10 percent of its revenue.
"It didn't impact us that much, but it sparked us to refocus our attention on new areas of business," Carreño said. "We had started doing some political work and government affairs work, and that became our focus."
These days, that line of business accounts for about 40 percent of CapWest's revenue, on track to bring in $424,000 this year, and helped earn it two spots on topPRagencies.com's Best in PR list with a national ranking of third in multicultural engagement and sixth for Web and digital public relations. The company was also recognized recently with its second appearance on Hispanic Business magazine's list of the Top 500 Hispanic Businesses in the U.S.
One of the most high-profile community engagement projects came last year when CapWest was hired by Houston Community College to help build a campaign around a $425 million bond referendum. CapWest created and implemented a community education and communications strategy for the bond issue, which was passed by voters last November.
CapWest's growing revenue base also includes cash flow from some new subsidiaries, which have recently been brought under the CapWest Cos. umbrella. In addition to CapWest Strategies, CapWest Cos. encompasses CapWest Financial, which provides insurance, management, financial and economic development services, and Cree8.it, which offers Web design, graphic design and social media strategies. CapWest Financial was founded last March, and Cree8.it was launched in September.

6 mph burnouts for Gran Turismo 3: A-SpecHome / Playstation 2 /
This page contains Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec Glitches for Playstation 2 called "6 mph burnouts" and has been posted or updated on Jul 1, 2009 by ridgwayd41302. Let us know what you think of this Glitch by thumbs voting.
- Developer: Polyphony Digital
- Publisher: SCEA
- Genre: Driving Racing
- Release Date: Jul 9, 2001
- ESRB: Everyone
6 mph burnouts
First pick the very last track (if you are just starting out with the basic tracks; the one on the far right) on 2 player mode. Make sure the tire damage option is turned on. Now pick a class S racing car with racing tires (i used the viper; also a basic starting out car). Now throughout the race drift as much as you can on pavement. Make sure your tires are as ruined as possible. On the second to last left turn, crash into the wall on the right hand side. Now turn right and gas and if the camera isn't showing the broad side of the car as you turn, let off the gas and hit the emergency brake. Without letting the car stop, let off the emergency brake and hit the gas again. You should be doing some hard donuts as the mph only reads 1-10. You can let go of the gas and hit it again and you should be able to keep doing this.

'I Liked It,' Putin Says Of Protest By Topless Women
Originally published on Mon April 8, 2013 1:09 pm
At a trade fair in Hanover, Germany, on Monday, three women protesters got quite close to Russian President Vladimir Putin before stripping off their blouses and shouting expletives at the Russian leader.
Putin, who was joined at the fair by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, later sarcastically thanked the women for calling the news media's attention to the gathering.
"As to this action, I liked it," Putin said, according to a German translator. The Russian leader added that the protesters were "pretty girls" and said he couldn't hear what they were screaming.
Well, their words weren't polite. F-bombs were tossed Putin's way. It's believed the protesters belong to a women's rights group, "Femen," which objects to how members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot were jailed in Russia for "hooliganism."
Putin told reporters he "couldn't see if they were blond or brunettes. ... I don't see anything horrifying in what they did." He also quipped that while it's better to keep one's clothes on during protests, "it's not so cold out — so they can also do it this way."
The president's seeming nonchalance doesn't extend to his aides, however. They want the women, who were grabbed and led away by security staff, to be punished. "This is ordinary hooliganism and unfortunately it happens all over the world, in any city. One needs to punish [them]," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to Reuters.
Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson is an NPR international correspondent.

Road trips are cool too, especially those last minute ones. Las Vegas, San Diego, Big Bear, Colorado river, Temecula, Napa, Take a Cruise, etc... It's all good ! I am looking for someone who is fit, fun, and happy. A sense of humor is a definite plus! Laughter is the best medicine. I like a women who takes care of herself also (see above under grooming)....lol. She is easy going, cute, cuddly, and affectionate. Comfortable in jeans as well as a nice dress. I think chemistry is very important, it's that initial attraction and nervous excitement that just sets your hair on fire....lol That's the stuff you never want to lose looking forward to every phone call, text, and next encounter. I love to give hugs, hold hands, and kissing is the best ! I have strong hands and can also give wonderful relaxing massages "what a bonus " ...lol If you think we might be a match then holler back. And if you think your a good kisser you just met your match. Life's to short not to be happy ! All the best to you in your search. Good Health... Phillymon... Ya.. Mon...

It would be great to see this come back in 1080p but without any changes to the gameplay. I'd like to think that they've still got all the original photography hanging around which would make a truly HD version possible.
This clay style always looks ace, just like with that new brawler coming out this year, Raging Justice, which has a similar look.

Barrow Raiders new boys fitting in well at Craven Park
Last updated at 12:49, Monday, 10 December 2012
THE new band of travelling talent who will be part of Barrow Raiders' Championship campaign next season are bedding in well.
Coach Darren Holt has been happy with how his seven new faces from outside the area have adapted to life at Craven Park.
Danny Jones, Kurt Haggerty, Matthew Haggarty, Adam Clay, Brad Brennan, Sean Casey, Dean McGilvray and Jack Spencer have all signed for Raiders for the 2013 season.
Along with established hooker James Dandy, the five are travelling to training three times a week from their Lancashire bases and Holt has been delighted with their efforts.
"The reaction has been very good from the travellers," he said. "There will occasionally be different reasons why they can't get up, but as long as there is a communication process and as long as it is not repetitive, then we should be able to manage it. The reaction we have had so far is very good and the key for me is to try and keep the traininginteresting and to keep the players buying into it, so they don't go looking for excuses not to go."
Clay, Haggarty and Spencer all know each other from their time in the Salford City Reds Academy – from where they also know Barrow-based new boy Max Wiper.
Clay is also a former team-mate of McGilvray at Leigh, while Brennan was with Barrow on dual-registration last season.
As a result, each of them has been able to easily slot into the squad as they have begun their pre-season preparations, with few – if any –issues over integration.
"It has been a seamless transition, I think," Holt added.
"A lot of the guys know each other and they have already formed themselves into their little groups for coming up, so it has not been a problem."
One man who is not currently part of the Raiders squad is former Warrington Wolves junior Tom Brannon.
The Barrow Island youth product's name appeared among the squad on the club website, before hastily being taken down.
That led to speculation the young winger was about to be unveiled as a new signing, but – while admitting he has spoken with Brannon – Holt said it was an error entirely down to him when he was asked to give a players' list to the site administrator.
He said: "It was a bit of an oversight. I have already spoken to Tom and he is interested in coming down just to train with us.
"When I was asked about a list of players, I put Tom on the list, where nothing official has been sorted yet, nor have we done anything official yet.
"It was maybe wrong for me to put his name down.
"We have spoken to Tom and he does seem keen to come down and hopefully we will be getting that organised going forward."

County board chairman announces county's bond rate upgraded by two levels
From press release
Winnebago County was recently notified that its financial rating as determined by Moody's Investor Service was upgraded from an A-1 rating to an Aa2 rating. The change moved the county from the mid-range security of level A range to the strong security level of Aa range. This is a two-step increase and will save the county considerable interest dollars on future borrowings.
The upgrade is the result of satisfactory financial operations supported by healthy reserves and, in particular, they highlighted the county's policy of a reserve equal to 25 to 30 percent of annual General Fund expenditures. This was emphasized as a financial posture, offsetting the operating deficit because the economy.
The county is especially proud of Moody's upgrade in light of the economic times we are dealing with locally.

if anyone has the info for aything they see missing from the charts, post it here. i'll roll it into the charts when there are a few to add.
Thanks! Just added them to my desktop.
I was googling for information on Hops and found this wonderful resource. Thank you! I suggest for the hops table that another column be added indicating whether the hops is used for bittering, Aroma, or Dry hopping.
Thanks again!
Thanks Pint. These are great. Since I am new to this and have not started AG, I have been looking for a comprehensive list that would note steeping vs mashed grains. Do you think you could add that to the charts? Perhaps just an M or S to designate?
Just came upon these spreadsheets in the forum, great resource. As I recently purchased pounds of pellet hops I will be using the replacement suggestions in the hops spreadsheet a lot. Thanks again for all the work.
Thanks man, I love this sorta stuff!
I'm thinking of revising these docs in the near future. If anybody has taken the initiative to make any additions or fixes, I'd like to try to incorporate them (assuming the new data came from somewhat reliable sources!).
Please PM or post if you've messed with these at all.
Very cool. Will be printing these out.
Brilliant - thanks for posting.

Caustic solutions are employed in an autoclave process to rapidly remove the cores made of Y2 O3 from directionally solidified eutectic alloy and superalloy materials.
1. A method for removing a core made of yttria ceramic material having a grain morphology which is characteristic of grains which have undergone partial sintering resulting in a network of narrow interconnecting bridges formed by sintering and which connect adjacent grains and particles, comprising the process steps of:
(a) placing the casting and the core of yttria ceramic material in an autoclave containing an aqueous leaching solution containing a material which is one selected from the group consisting of NaOH and KOH;
(b) heating the casting, yttria ceramic material and leaching solution to a temperature of at least about 200� C.;
(c) dissolving substantially all of the interconnecting network of ceramic material by chemical attack by the leaching solution, and
(d) removing at least some of the undissolved ceramic material from the casting by the solution agitated by the chemical reaction.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein
the temperature in the autoclave is no greater than about 350� C.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein
the composition of the leaching solution is from about 10 percent by weight to about 70 percent by weight hydroxide and the balance water.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein
the hydroxide is NaOH.
5. The method of claim 3 wherein
the hydroxide is KOH.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein
the temperature in the autoclave is about 290� C.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein
the hydroxide is NaOH.
8. The method of claim 6 wherein
the hydroxide is KOH.
The Government of the United States of America has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract No. F33615-76-C-5110 awarded by the Department of the Air Force.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to improvements in investment casting and in particular to the rapid removal of cores made of Y2 O3 employed in the casting process.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The production of directionally solidified (DS) metal eutectic alloys and superalloys for high pressure turbine (HPT) airfoils with intricate internal passageways for air cooling requires that the core and mold not only be dimensionally stable and sufficiently strong to contain and shape the casting but also be sufficiently weak to prevent mechanical rupture (hot cracking) of the casting during solidification and cooling. The DS process requirements of up to 1875� C. for a 16 hour time period imposes severe constraints on materials which may serve as mold or core candidates.
The currently available core materials do not possess the chemical stability required for casting eutectic alloy and superalloy materials. The prior art appears to be mostly limited to the use of silica or silica-zircon core and mold materials. At temperatures greater than 1600� C. the silica based materials fail from the standpoint of both mechanical integrity and chemical incompatibility with the advanced alloy compositions.
Yttrium oxide (Y2 O3) by itself, without a chemical or physical binder material, has been identified as a potential core and mold material based on both chemical compatibility and leachability considerations.
Cores made from the Y2 O3 material must be removed from the castings without any deleterious effect on the surface of the casting.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a new and improved method for removing yttria (Y2 O3) core material from directionally solidified eutectic alloy and superalloy materials.
Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved method for the rapid removal of yttria core material by a caustic solution in an autoclave without adversely affecting the cast metal.
Other objects of this invention will, in part, be obvious and will, in part, appear hereinafter.
In accordance with the teachings of this invention there is provided a new and improved method for removing a core of yttria ceramic material from an abutting contact relationship with a casting of an advanced superalloy material.
The yttria ceramic material is removed by an autoclave leaching process at an elevated temperature and an elevated pressure. An aqueous solution of either KOH or NaOH comprises the leaching solution. The elevated temperature in an autoclave is at least about 200� C. and may range up to about 350� C. and higher. A preferred temperature for leaching is about 290� C. The leaching solution attacks the yttria grains by dissolving some of the same and washes the remainder of undissolved material out of the casting by agitation of the solution and the ongoing chemical reaction. KOH is the preferred leaching agent.
Advanced superalloys, such as NiTaC-13, are not attacked by the core material or the leaching solutions.
A compact made of pressed and sintered yttria (Y2 O3) is suitable for use as a core in investment casting of directionally solidified eutectic and superalloy materials. The compact may have a complex shape because of the turbine blade to be made by the casting process. The yttria material for the compact or core is employed because casting temperatures are in excess of about 1600� C. and directional solidification is practiced for 16 hours and more.
After the compact of yttria has been employed as a core in making a casting, and the casting has solidified thereabout, the core is removed from the casting by autoclave leaching employing either a KOH or a NaOH aqueous solution. A solution of from about 10 weight percent of either KOH or NaOH in water up to saturation, about 70 weight percent in water, has been found to be satisfactory. The autoclave temperature is preferably greater than about 200� C. and may range upwards to at least about 350� C. and higher. The temperature preferably should not exceed about 290� C. The autoclave pressure is generated by the vapor pressure above the liquid which results from the leaching process. The pressure in the autoclave leaching process may be of the order of from 200 psi to about 1250 psi.
The caustic leaching agent, during the autoclave leaching process, attacks the ceramic material of the core. In the instance of the yttria core made from the compact, the leaching agent dissolves the yttria of both the grains and the interconnecting bridges therebetween formed by sintering of material of adjacent grains. When the bridges have been dissolved, the remainder of the core material, mostly grannular material, is physically washed out of the core cavity by agitation caused by the leaching process. Any remaining material may be removed by mechanical agitation after removal from the autoclave by such suitable means as ultrasonics and the like.
After completion of the autoclave leaching process to remove the yttria core, the casting is removed from the autoclave, washed in water and dried in a warm oven. The casting is then stored for further use or processed further as required.
Examination of castings of directionally solidified eutectic and superalloy materials such, for example, as NiTaC-13, cast with the yttria cores, revealed no apparent attack on the cast metal. The surface finishes of the castings are acceptable regardless of whether the leaching agent is KOH or NaOH and regardless of the strength of the solutions of the same. The KOH and the NaOH have no detrimental effect on the finish or integrity of the superalloy casting.

Stand-up 101
4 Week Class. Max Class Size: 5. $150 Fee.
Offered on Mondays. 6:00PM-7:00PM.
Classes meet for 4 consecutive weeks unless otherwise noted.
Class Description
This four-week course will teach you the basics of what you need at stand-up comedy's "ground zero" by teaching how to write, edit, and perform the minimum 4-7 minutes of material needed to function at the open-mic level. Everything taught in this class can be learned by getting on stage numerous times and figuring it out for yourself, but we want you to progress faster and learn from our mistakes. You will get one-on-one feedback on material from a working comedian. This class will also focus on basic etiquette, as well as embed good writing and performing habits. Students will perform in a graduation show at the conclusion of the class.
Class Performances
Students will perform after their last class session at the Open Mic (Sunday) at the Sacramento Comedy Spot. The instructor will verify the Class Performance date on the first session of class. Tickets for Open Mic are $5.00. Invite your friends and family.
Other Requirements
No students under 17 years old will be permitted in class without approval.
