Berkeley school district holds Black Lives Matter forum
On Wednesday, Dec. 17, the Berkeley Unified School District held a Black Lives Matter forum for the district's middle- and high-school students, as well as their families.
Conceived and organized by Charity DaMarto, BUSD's supervisor of Family Engagement and Equity, and Director of Student Services Susan Craig, the event was held to discuss what the school community could do to respond to the social justice issues underlying the recent court decisions in the Ferguson and New York police killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
Watch the whole forum in the video below. … Continue reading »
Berkeley communities of faith join forces for 'peaceful civil disobedience' Black Lives Matter protest
By Lance Knobel and Tracey Taylor
An estimated 300 people, most of them affiliated with local faith-based places of worship, blocked University Avenue in Berkeley for just over an hour during a peaceful protest Sunday, Dec. 14. The "Black Lives Matter Large-Scale Demonstration" was initiated by a number of local faith groups.
The protest joined the hundreds of demonstrations that took place locally and nationally over the weekend over the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York.
See complete Berkeleyside coverage of the recent Berkeley protests.
At the center of the protest was an 11-minute die-in, reminding people of the 11 times Garner said, "I can't breathe."
"This demonstration is intended to show the discipline of civil disobedience," said Pastor Michael McBride, founder of The Way Christian Center at 1305 University Ave., directly opposite Congregation Netivot Shalom at 1316 University, where the die-in took place. … Continue reading »
UC Berkeley's Black Student Union leads peaceful protest march from campus to Oakland
Despite being shaken by the appearance of effigies hanging from nooses on campus Saturday morning, UC Berkeley Black Student Union (BSU) leaders said they didn't want that incident to affect their planned march against police killings of black people. Approximately 300 protesters met at Sproul Plaza at noon and, over the course of nearly three hours, marched to downtown Oakland to join forces with the larger "Millions March" demonstration that had gathered there.
Read more of Berkeleyside's Berkeley protest coverage.
The march was calm, with the crowd following orders and cues from the BSU organizers in the front. Led by a car, the protesters walked up Bancroft Way to College Avenue, headed south, paused for about 20 minutes to occupy the intersection of College and Ashby avenues, and eventually continued onto Broadway. Police instructed the car to turn off College before entering Oakland. … Continue reading »
Community responds to noose effigies found at Cal
By Frances Dinkelspiel and Emilie Raguso
Sunday, Dec. 14, 5 p.m. An anonymous artists' collective has taken responsibility for the effigies strung up in nooses at UC Berkeley on Saturday.
The statement from the collective:
"We are a collective of queer and POC artists responsible for the images of historical lynchings posted to several locations in Berkeley and Oakland," reads a notice the group distributed. "These images connect past events to present ones – referencing endemic faultlines of hatred and persecution that are and should be deeply unsettling to the American consciousness. We choose to remain anonymous because this is not about us as artists, but about the growing movement to address these pervasive wrongs."
See past Berkeleyside coverage of the Berkeley protests.
"For those who think these images are no longer relevant to the social framework in which black Americans exist everyday – we respectfully disagree. Garner, Brown, and others are victims of systemic racism. For those who think these images depict crimes and attitudes too distasteful to be seen .. we respectfully disagree. Our society must never forget. For those under the mistaken assumption that the images themselves were intended as an act of racism – we vehemently disagree and intended only the confrontation of historical context." … Continue reading »
Berkeley Pastor Michael McBride: Brown's death was the final straw that galvanized communities across the nation
Some people, angered by events in Ferguson, MO and Staten Island, NY, take their protests to the streets in Berkeley. Others fly across the country to where the outrage began.
Pastor Michael McBride, who founded the progressive Way Christian Center congregation on University Avenue, recently returned from Ferguson. McBride has gained some national prominence as the leader of Live Free, a nationwide, faith-based campaign against gun violence and mass incarceration. Along with other members of Live Free, McBride has spent about half of his time in Ferguson since Michael Brown was killed on Aug. 9.
MSNBC viewers may have caught a fleeting image of McBride in Ferguson on Nov. 24 as Chris Hayes prepared to interview him. That was before what was assumed to be gunshots were heard and Hayes and the pastor were instructed by producers to leave the scene. (See the dramatic video, below)
While in Missouri, McBride and his colleagues led trainings in political organizing, voter engagement, and healing, and demonstrated alongside the locals.
In a sit-down interview with Berkeleyside conducted last week, before protests and riots erupted in Berkeley, McBride said he was surprised to see the severity of what he described as the "police state" in Missouri. … Continue reading »
Workshop urges action on gun violence around Berkeley
Following the recent shootings of former Berkeley students in Oakland, a coalition of groups held a workshop Friday, May 24, to try to figure out ways to reduce the vulnerability of young people in the city. The meeting was spurred by the murder of 17-year-old Olajuwon Clayborn, another incident in which a Berkeley High student was left in a coma and later died, as well as other shootings with Berkeley student connections.
Berkeley Alliance, which coordinates the city's 2020 Vision program, brought together representatives from Berkeley Unified School District, Berkeley police, City of Berkeley staff, and community organizations to work on violence prevention ideas that have emerged from 2020 Vision workgroups, including greater mental health suport, case workers for at-risk students, case managers for high school students, adopting training program, and community engagement in a citywide anti-violence campaign. … Continue reading »
All Berkeley comes together, celebrates hope on MLK Day
It felt like all of Berkeley was represented at yesterday morning's Martin Luther King breakfast celebration down by the bay.
They came from seminaries and temples, political groups, law enforcement, schools, neighborhood associations and government departments — our assemblywoman, mayor, and chief of police were there, as were many church and community leaders, councilmembers, teachers, students, business men and women, and children. (Watch the slideshow of photographs, above, by Nancy Rubin.)
On a crisp winter morning, nearly 400 local people gathered to mark Martin Luther King Day, to share breakfast and to watch together live-streaming of the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States. … Continue reading »
Berkeley pastor under fire hopes for calm after protests
Two weeks after more than 100 people protested against Reverend John Direen outside St. Joseph The Worker Church while he conducted mass inside, Direen disputed many of the accusations leveled against him in an interview with Berkeleyside.
While Direen acknowledged he has made some unpopular moves — including closing meeting spaces and laying off staff — he said the changes have been driven by an urgent need to cut costs in a parish carrying a $1.1 million debt rather than being an attempt to push his own conservative agenda.
"When I came to St. Joseph two years ago I quickly realized we were facing a crisis," he said. "We owed money to the diocese and to a variety of vendors, and we were being threatened by lawsuits." Much of the debt was incurred by retrofitting work done at the church and it was compounded by decreased donations from a congregation in the midst of an economic recession.
Direen has laid off six church staffers in total, the latest a month ago when a cook and office manager were let go. All of the people involved were popular, he said, but he works to ensure they are all employable elsewhere. … Continue reading »

A Royal Wedding Tea Towel You Won't Be Embarrassed to Own
No offense to the British, but Royal Wedding memorabilia is ugly. As Americans, maybe we just don't get it, what with all that drama in 1776. But special-edition china emblazoned with a portrait of Will and Kate is not our cup of tea. (Neither is "No More Waity, Katie" nail polish, for the record. Tisk tisk.)
On the other hand, there's something fantastic about this tea towel ($18) from London-born Brooklyn designer Claudia Pearson. "It's a decades old tradition in England to commemorate a Royal event with a collectors tea towel," she says. "Being British I just couldn't resist."
Bravo Claudia! Bravo. To buy them, visit Claudia's Etsy shop.
In case you're looking for other memorabilia, Time just published an amusing list of souvenirs from "Kiss Me Kate Beer" to "Royal Wedding Sick Bags."

The early Jesus movement was almost broken by an ancient, distant parallel to Ferguson or Staten Island. From the vantage point of the Roman Empire, Jesus was seen as a member of a notoriously troublesome and rebellious group. In this way, the historical Jesus was an ancient counterpart to a black man in white America.
Bill O'Reilly disputed the two main points of my recent blog on The O'Reilly Factor broadcast: My affirmation of Jesus' lifelong dedication to Judaism (meaning he did not start a new religion) and the assertion that Renaissance art representations of Jesus omit his Jewish identity and thus falsify biblical history.

Nevada has the fewest wineries of any state, with just four filling our glasses today. While advocates want to grow the industry, there's fear that the state could become a mere "suburb" of California wine with few bottles bearing a homegrown stamp. Reno Public Radio's Michelle Bliss reports.
There are no commercial wineries in Washoe County, but UNR Professor Grant Cramer has been making wine in Reno for a decade.
Governor Brian Sandoval delivered testimony during a joint committee hearing Wednesday for his plan to increase business license fees in order to raise money for K-12 education. Reno Public Radio's Michelle Bliss reports.
Despite wide support for improving the state's lagging education system, Sandoval is charged with convincing a Republican-controlled legislature to raise taxes for the cause.
In a rousing speech, Sandoval made his case, saying economic development will suffer if the state can't create more revenue and devote it to students.

Low turnout makes farce of B.C. election
VICTORIA -- The B.C. election came as a shock to pollsters and smug pro-NDP factions who gleefully, if prematurely, celebrated Premier Christy Clark's ousting.
In the weeks ahead the professional prognosticators will attempt to explain how they could have made such a grievous blunder by, in effect, declaring: "Dewey Defeats Truman."
The union bosses who spat pails of poison at Clark's Liberals will now need to find some sugar to sweeten the venom. And many dissatisfied British Columbians will be asking themselves how they could have re-elected such an unpopular government with a majority.
But the truth for many of those British Columbians is they did not re-elect the government. Forty-eight per cent of eligible B.C. voters decided not to decide; left the governance of their province and its people to those who could find 15 to 30 minutes in their day -- time many employers would gladly grant -- to visit their local school gymnasium to mark an "x" for their candidate. While not the worst turnout in B.C. history, it certainly demonstrates elections here are becoming a farce. It's almost to the point where we might as well let a handful of well-paid bureaucrats govern -- it would certainly save the printing of all those wasted ballots.
While provincial politics can be scandalously boring in other parts of Canada, in B.C. they seldom are.
Although our telegenic premier was not necessarily besmirched by her predecessor's disastrous HST debacle or the suspect sale of some major Crown assets by his government, her own popularity was so wanting she lost in her home riding of Point Grey on election night.
During the campaign, Clark drove through a stop light with a reporter in the car, because her child asked her to, and mistakenly spoiled her own ballot during a photo-op. More seriously, Clark has had a difficult time maintaining control over her divided caucus and has made enemies among some of the province's most influential business leaders.
But the government's primary opponent, the NDP, did its best to take all the zing out of the campaign and keep its supporters at home. Leader Adrian Dix -- or Mr. Nix as he came to be called for his tendency to say no to just about any economic project -- vowed to run a clean, minimalistic campaign. Whether this was a novel attempt to demonstrate fiscal restraint, a quality completely lacking in the rest of his policy, or because he just could not be bothered to hammer the Liberals for their faults, only he and his possibly permanently unemployed strategists know for sure.
In any case, Dix was boring to a fault, a quality voting British Columbians -- unlike Manitobans -- are apparently unwilling to overlook.
The promise of a new direction and a desire for change that left-leaning British Columbians longed for so desperately disappeared quite unexpectedly on election night.
But there is one valuable lesson for the NDP and British Columbia's uninterested and disaffected electorate: If you sit back and let the pollsters count you down to victory, you, and your hope, might just suffer another unhappy full term on the drafty side of the legislature.
Former Winnipegger Ryan Kinrade is a member of the disgruntled electorate in Victoria, B.C.

Red Hollyhock
Pink Hollyhock
PalePink Hollyhock
DarkPink Hollyhock
These flowers can look so fragile on the stems, but they seem to be resilient and can take quite a beating from wind & rain. All of these plants came from one plant that just keeps reseeding itself and in different colors. Last year I had an almost black blossom and several yellows.
Oh, Pat, you KNOW I'm loving those! LOL I was so late starting my seeds that I only have 2 plants (out of 9) blooming so far, but others are gearing up. One of mine looks a lot like your pink one up there, so I can't wait to see what other, if any, colors I might get. :)
Thanks for sharing!

DP Rating Confusion
We are considering Anderson 400 (dp30) or Marvin Integrity (dp 40) windows for a house to be built along the ocean with lots of wind and driving rain. Can anyone tell me if there is a significant difference between these two dp ratings?
A Design Pressure rating of 30 is teated for structual integrity for 10 seconds in both directions with a wind speed up to 132 MPH. DP 40 is tested up to 155 MPH. DP 50 is tested up to 173 MPH. The higher the DP rating the higher the water resistance as well.
A typical hurricane has sustained winds of 100 - 150 mph. Winds in some stronger storms may exceed 200 mph.
Hurricane classifications:
Level 1, 74-95 mph
Level 2, 96-110 mph
Level 3, 111-130 mph
Level 4, 131-155 mph
Level 5, 156+ mph
To over simplify it (ignoring gusts and projectiles), theoretically a DP30 rating should survive a Level 3 hurricane, a DP40 a Level 4 hurricane and DP 50 a Level 5 hurricane.
Your building code should have information about design wind speed in your area.
Mightyanvil provided really good technical info. We are on a hillside with winds up to 40-MPH in heavy winter storm and stronger gusts regularly whip pea gravels around impacting our French doors. Driving rain used to force water through the bottom of our old Aluminum windows & doors.
After switching to windows and doors rated DP40, we have had no leakage problems. Regardless of brands, the higher the DP in severe weather area, the better. You may also want to consider tempered glass of certain thickness. Most shops, unless you ask, will order 1/8 inch glass versus 1/4 inch thick glass.
1/4 inch thick tempered glass facing the area most vulnerable to damage is worth considering.
I would first ask where exactly are you building this home? As mightyanvil pointed out, your local building code may have something to say about the required DP rating of your windows and doors - or it may not...
The DP rating of a window or door is based on laboratory pressure testing in pounds per square foot or psf.
Air, water, structural is a three part test that determines much about a window's overall performance. Air infiltration is the first phase, water penetration is next, and structural is the third part of the test.
Windows are tested for air infiltration simulating a 25mph wind or a 1.56PSF pressure load - air infiltration is treated separately from both water infiltration and structural and it is independent of the design pressure of the unit. Said again - the air infiltration rate in a window is not based on the design pressure rating of the unit.
Both water penetration and structural testing, on the other hand, are based on the window DP rating. Water infiltration is tested at 15% of the design pressure and structural is tested at 150% of DP rating.
What this means is that a window with a DP30 is tested for water infiltration at 4.5psf (15% of 30psf) while a window with a DP40 is tested at 6psf (15% of 40).
A window with a DP30 rating should be able to keep out rain when its driven by 42mph winds and a window with a DP40 should be able to keep out rain when driven by 49mph winds...so while water infiltration is DP related - and air infiltration is not - the nature of air and water infiltration is different.
The structural rating of a window is as much about the glass as it is about the frame and sash system. In order to get a higher DP rating the window manufacturer has to consider the thickness and possible heat-strengthening (or tempering) of the glass as well as the use of higher-end hardware and good quality sealants in the frame and sash system. But, interestingly, there is nothing in the structural rating that specifically requires that the unit be air-tight.
A window can leak air like a sieve and still achieve an excellent DP rating. Likewise a window that is sealed tightly can have a lower DP rating but excellent air infiltration numbers. Obviously there are also many units that have both excellent air infiltration numbers and a satisfactory DP rating (relating to both structural strength and water infiltration).
Simply stated, the relationship between DP and windspeed is -- "the ratios of the design pressures in psf are the square of the ratios of the wind-speeds in mph".
A window with a DP30 is rated to a pressure level equivalent to a 110mph windspeed, but it is tested (for structural) at a pressure equivalent to 164mph.
A window with a DP40 is rated to a pressure level equivalent to a 127mph windspeed, but it is tested (for structural) at a pressure equivalent to 190mph.
If you are curious about calculating the numbers yourself, a while back (at the request of a specific window company as a matter of fact) I wrote a couple of simple formulas that will allow you to do so...
If wind-speed is known, then:
W/25 * 0.0624 * W = psf
Where W = wind-speed
Or, if Design Pressure is known, then:
SQRT(psf) * 20.01 = wind-speed
Thanks for the dynamite information, oberon. We had just had new doors installed when TD Ernesto blew up this Labor Day. We had 60-80 mph winds driving 10 inches of rain for 8 hours right against the DP35 Certainteed sliding glass doors. They leaked like a seive. We filed a warranty claim and learned that we could have ordered DP 50 (I extrapolate from you numbers that that would have been good for 56 mph wind-driven rains). The warranty was denied, but they did 'add extra weather protection to bring the door up to almost DP50 standard.' I'm not sure whether to believe this or not. I wondered how French doors and sliding glass doors might compare for rainworthiness--if they both have the same DP rating, do they both keep water out with similar effectiveness?
Well, we had a nother northeaster last weekend. Winds at 35 mph for 48 hours, gusts to 48 mph. The DP35 Certainteed sliding glass doors, supposedly upgraded to almost DP50 standard, leaked again. DP50 should have held firm for both, and in fact I think DP 35 should not have leaked.
Stay away from Certainteed!!
The flip side of the coin is this. You could have the highest DP unit available and still have a leaker. Installation becomes even more critical when you are dealing with DP ratings. The DP rating is based on "proper installation". This means proper flashing, counter flashing, installation method, sealants, etc etc.
You don't mention where the water is leaking in from, but I would make sure the top of the unit is flashed, has a drip cap, and that the sides, head, and sill are heavily caulked. It may help minimize/eliminate the water. Most water problems I've encountered are solved this way.
Actually, it can become even a bit more confusing.
I didn't mention this in the earlier post because I felt that it was already complicated enough, but with your observations, slacktide, I thought I would add to the thread...
Window DP rating allows for a different DP for testing water infiltration and structural. In other words, your window could have been tested at a DP50 for water infiltration and a DP25 for structural - conversely, you could have a window that was tested at DP25 for water and DP50 for structural.
The actual rating that the window receives would be the lower of the two test pressures. But, what it all comes down to is that two windows with an identical DP25 rating could have very different water infiltration rates despite having the same design pressure.
I moved into a new house Feb '05 in Blacksburg Virginia with 37 Andersen 200 Series double hung low E windows. After the house was landscaped near the end of March we had one of the infamous yankee clippers fly through with 25 - 35 mph winds and 45 - 60 mph gusts. The next morning if found the top of the lower sash, sill, and floor covered with mulch that had blown through the window. It looked as if someone had thrown a handfull of mulch at the inside of the window. We have these fronts on the average of at least once per week throught out the cold months November - April. The same thing happened each time. The house is drafty near the windows and the perimeter is noticably cooler than the interior. I watched the house being built and am fairly confident that overall the house is fairly tight (no air through the electrical outlets). A blower door test confirmed an overall fairly tight house. However, with the house slighly pressurized a smoke test revealed smoke rapidly exiting through the windows at the same points where the mulch and the wind enter... mainly through the crack where the sashes meet between the sash and the jamb. It is very noticeable around where the counter balance string penetrates the top of the bottom sash and also where it penetrates at the top of the window. I have also done smoke tests at these points during windy conditions and found the smoke swirls vigorously whenever there is a gust. The smoke pen also glows very brightly because of the air penetration during gusts. During the test the local weather station was reporting 25 mph winds and 35-45 mph gusts. And of course after cleaning off the window sash and sill, mulch was again found peppered all over the place the next morning (as always under these conditions). The windows in question were Andersen 200 series double hung. Many of the windows are tall 72 - 78 inches I believe. They are not tilt out. The builder discouraged because of air infiltration, but did not warn that the non-tilt might give me these problems. Incidently I had the same problem with my Thermatru doors.
I have have many meetings with the builder and the window distributor, and the regional Andersen representative (not just a local person). After admittedly feeling a draft initially, both the builder and the Andersen rep toughened their position and blamed me for being overly sensitive to cold air, the location of the house with no wind breaks (they knew this when recommending these windows), the shape of the house has two juts on the northwest exposure that help trap the wind (this they knew also). Andersen sent a crew to "install "tune-up" kits on all the windows. That may have helped minimally at best, but far from satisfactorily. They then wanted to put storm windows on claiming that they would sell me $500 storm windows for $50 each... must think I'm pretty stupid. Although I found this ludicrous I let them place storm windows on the two windows near the mulch bed. The mulch infiltration was considerably less but still far from acceptable (actually 80-90% became trapped between the storm and the window), but the air infiltration continued almost unabated, as demonstrated by smoke test. It doesn't take an astrophysicist to figure out why mulch falls to the bottom when it gets between the two windows.
So after I asked them to remove the storms and refund my money for the windows, Andersen wrote me that there was nothing wrong with their windows and that they had nothing more to offer than their sympathy. The builder took the same position. So I'm left very bitterly disappointed in both the builder and Andersen. I have frankly been too busy to fight this during the summer months, but with winter returning, I plan to continue to seek full and satisfactory resolution. I have had three builder friends from other states who have been rather appalled at both builder's and Andersen's stance on this and have encouraged me to persist.
Has anyone encounter something like this before, and do you have any recommendations for coming to a satisfactory resolution? I would be happy to show anyone photos of the mulch peppered windows and video clips of smoke test.
One aside... I spoke with a Pella rep who previously had over 20 years with Andersen (was very professional and careful not to trash his competitor). He did tell me yesterday that Andersen did in the past have an issue with air infiltration through the balance box. That would fit with where I find the most severe air penetration... where the balance strings penetrate the sash frame.
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. I spent a lot of money on this home only to have it cold and drafty. I am not the least bit happy about the situation. My previous house was a 40 year old split foyer in which my son's and I put replacement windows. I bought the best that Certainteed had at the time and installed sealed and insulated them myself. There was no air infiltration even on bitterly cold and very windy nights. I would often run my hand all around the windows and hardly believing how tight they were. I run my hands around these Andersen 200 series windows and can feel the breeze coming through the cracks that I mentioned previously.
Thanks for listening and I hope someone may have a suggestion as to how to resolve this.
Hi Don,
Very sorry to hear of what is happening. I have threthreee suggestions:
1. Start a new thread with a new title that speaks to your challenges and then copy and paste this post to that new thread. A new thread with a catchy title will catch more people's eyes faster. It is currently buried in this thread and may not be seens by those who should be seeing this.
2. I saw a post recently of someone who had a leakage problem with a window company, do not remember the brand. He started a website, posted pictures, video and all sorts of information to show his problem. The window company did threaten to sue and the site has since shut down. I have not seen any post regarding a settlement. This is definitely a somewhat aggressive approach and can have some rather irritating consequences.
3. Have you tried BBB or Consumer Complaints organizations in your state? Search out local or state or national organizations, public or private (independent non-profit) and contact them with this problem. They may be able to rattle the tree and make something happen.
The last resort is to retain an attorney. If the windows are rated to perform at a certain level and they are not, the warranty should kick in and Andersen or the builder need to take care of the problems.
Finally, if the windows are not rated to perform in such wind condition and you agreed to their installation, it will be hard to get anything from the builder and Andersen. They can turn the table and blame it on you but you know this already.
Good luck.
That's an interesting problem, don. Not one I've heard of before. It sounds like you are describing the Andersen Narrowline double hung. It's the only non-tilt in their portfolio. Historically, this has been a good performing window. I have Narrowlines that are 30+ years old in my area, and have not run into the problems you describe.
I'm very curious about the mulch getting in. That would take a significant gap somewhere high on the unit. I would inspect the checkrail weatherstrip, to insure both pieces are coming together properly. Then I would look at the top of the upper sash. There are 2 pieces of weatherstrip up there, one on the sash and one on the frame. Finally, I'd look under the bottom sash, to insure that bulb weatherstrip is contacting the sill. Many times, painters remove these pieces, and forget to put them back on.
With the design of the balances & stops, coming around the sash sides would be very hard. That would account for the really good air infiltration ratings these windows receive in testing.
If all of those contacts points are good, then I would look under the interior casing and around the exterior. If air is leaking around the window frame, it would "blow" across the window and feel like it's coming from the sash/jamb area. Make sure the exterior was properly wrapped, taped, and caulked when the original install took place. I've found a lot of "leakers" resulted from poor flashing. Be sure the area around the frame is insulated.
Hopefully, this will lead to correcting your problems.
If any of the weatherstrip areas I've mentioned are not contacting the proper area, it's possible someone over-torqued the screws when installing the windows, and bowed the frames. Check for plumb, level, and square frames. Then look at how the sash sits in that frame. Is the reveal even?
The balance boxes are in the head jamb, but sealed behind the head jamb liner. In my years of using this product, I've never had a leakage issue there.
The Narrowline carries a DP20, which isn't all that great. But they can be upgraded to DP50 according to the website. The DP20 unit carries a .10 air leakage rating, which is a very good rating. The DP50 upgrade includes a higher sill stop, which indicates that under 75psf of pressure, the sill stop needed to be bigger to handle the load. And even then, the air leakage rating went to .19. That's still a good rating, as codes allow units to have a .3 air leakage rating.
So I guess the short version would say: these windows should have no trouble handling the exposure and conditions you described. Check them thoroughly, maybe even have them checked out by another contractor/installer who might be able to look at them with a fresh set of eyes.
I would keep after the reps, and ditch the storm units.
Good luck.
I can really feel for Don. We bought a home in coastal North Carolina almost five years ago and have slowly discovered a number of water infiltration issues. As we are prone to have lots of hurricanes in the area, I have spent lots of time trying to decide what new windows to install so as to get the best value for our money. My contractor is a big fan of Marvin products and they seem to be of good quality, but I am still confused by what to make of their DP ratings. One of the Marvin sales reps told me that a Marvin DP rating of 40 cannot really be compared to a DP rating of 60 on a builder grade window because it depends on what laboratory or group is doing the tests that are used to calculate the ratings. If this is true, it seems the DP rating really isn't much of a standard at all. Can anyone comment? I'm about to throw in the towel on trying to evaluate these products. Thanks
Don't give up yet, there are ways to address this.
First, if you read back up this thread, you will find a post by Oberon that details what the DP rating is all about. It of course also describes how DP is good for one area but does not talk about air infiltration.
I am guessing that the Marvin sales rep may be refering to this difference. If a window claims DP-60, is it completely DP-60 air tight? If you can find out the brand of your builder-grade windows, you can then research specifically what those windows are claiming.
Our own experience in the SF Bay Area is that "builder grade" is not necessarilly good windows. It depends on the builder and who makes the windows. We used to foolishly assume builder grade must be "good", we were wrong.
We have Marvin windows and doors for our house. So far, they have held up really well. We have no hurricanes and only gusts that can reach 60-MPH during very strong winter storms. So far, no air or water intrusion at all. The old aluminum "builder grade" windows of unknown DP rating were horrible. Wind whistled through and blew bubbles of water through the sash seams.
If your local code specifies DP-40 windows, Marvin's will do really well. If you dislike Marvin, Andersen should be a good choice too.
Good luck!
Mike, glass will impact the structural rating of a unit.
Test a 6060 fixed unit with single pane 2.2mm glass and then test the same unit with a laminated impact resistant glass. The first may give you a DP20 and the latter will give you a DP80 structurally. Glass will not impact water resistance or air resistance.
All this talk about DP doesn�t matter, The fact is no manufacture will stand behind there product when it comes to water infiltration. they will say the water came in at the time that surpassed there DP rating and there is nothing you can do to prove them different. These statements come from 11 years of supplying doors to contractors on the Oregon coast. Before your purchase call the manufacture and ask "WILL YOU GUARANTEE NO WATER WILL COME THRU YOUR DOOR". Not that folks that can afford a beach front property will want vinyl sliders; it is the only system that has welded bottom corners with a weeping system built in, combined with a sill pan and butyl membrane and a experienced contactor is your best bet. If anyone knows anything different in a manufacture, please HELP!
Windows aren't made to go in a submarine. I would suggest that if your experience is that a product will leak water unless the manufacturer warrants against it says more about the quality of the windows you used to sell than it does about the reality of a high DP rated window.
It's actually a widely accepted misconception that DP has anything to do with keeping out the elements. As explained quite well in the attached article, 'Design Pressure describes a product's ability to withstand uniform loads caused by either wind, or in the case of skylights, snow. [...] This means that 'DP' refers only to the structural loading performance of a product and does not indicate any tested performance levels relative to air infiltration resistance, water penetration resistance or any other performance criteria specified in the 101/I.S. 2/A440 standard.'
Here is a link that might be useful: Fenestration Standards
Hey folks, I just ran across this thread after doing a search for DP rating information. I know it is an old thread, but on this thread ahooke asked if anyone had ever heard of a sliding glass door that would leak water into the inside sill track, and that Andersen claimed it was normal for it to do this. Wish I had seen this earlier. The answer is YES. Hurd's sliding glass doors has the weep holes to the inside track and if the tracks are free of debris, the water should flow to the outer edges of the sill and then to the outside. I was suprised to learn this myself, because I think I might have a problem if I saw my high end windows with standing water on the inside of the sill track.

Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) – Pain Point or Competitive Advantage?

Earning the Right to manage IT
One of the privileges of advising customers on business/IT alignment is that you get to visit fascinating people and hear their views on current management topics. Last Tuesday was an example worth sharing. In the morning I visited the CIO of a flight services company at a local airport, in the evening I was a few kilometers down the road at a large hospital talking to – whether you believe this or not – the brain surgery team.
IT Is Now in the Driver's Seat

A business has donated £2,500 to the Woodlands
Cancer Centre extension appeal instead of buying
Christmas gifts and cards for customers. Huntingdon based Riello Ltd, which has been making gas, oil and dual fuel burners for more than 90 years, had ring fenced the money to buy presents. However, it decided to donate the money to a charity and choose Hinchingbrookeâs Woodlands appeal, which is fundraising for a £2.4million state-of-the art cancer centre at the hospital. Rielloâs finance director John Newman said: âI am delighted to present this donation on behalf of Riello Limited. We hope that this will inspire other local businesses to do the same and help make the new Woodlands Centre a reality.â
Lynda Hall, Hinchingbrookeâs lead cancer nurse and Woodlands manager said: âWe would like to thank Riello for their extremely generous donation to our appeal. âIt is heartwarming to see local companies
taking an interest, and supporting a project which will benefit so many local people who experience cancer.â

As someone who PuGs when PvPing as others have touched on the issue is when you reduce the Space SP allocation to 75% you decrease an individual player's options and effectiveness. This then requires more planning and coordination as a team to make up for the loses. This change will reward premades vs pugs. Most casually PvPers play on PuG teams, so in the end you'll still hear cries from casual PvPers.
For solo PvE w/season for changes there's been no reason to invest in ground SP as the gear came to be far more important than skills as fights became quick Boff dps spam vs enemy NPC dps spam.
For Sci Captain w/min SP investment (I didn't invest in battery skill but in some ground skill) I've had little problems in elite ground STFs (in terms of fighting borg, PuG PvE teamplay can still be an issue).
So, in the end my fun factor will go down, b/c I'll points in skills I don't need and I'll lose effectiveness if not out right abilities I'd otherwise have in Space. If my fun factor goes others will likely also and this would lead to people doing other things even if the game is for free to some.
