It's been a very long time since I started my adventure with a pikachu. Since gen one. Pikachu fills me with nostalgia from yellow. Yellow will always be my all time favorite. (Pikachu and all three starters, how epic) but anyway, I'd love to start my adventure with a pikachu by my side. At least early on ish. Do you think it's possible? Pikachu will always be my favorite little underdog =3
I'm expecting mid-game for Pikachu.
I like Pikachu, but it isn't something I'd really use, mostly due to the fact there's always something I like more than it in terms of Electric-types (Electabuzz, Manectric, Luxray, etc.) so it wounds up never being used in a team for me.

I know exactly what you mean, especially with Helio and all. I really like Helio. That's why I wouldn't be very disappointed. I'm hoping Pikachu is at least in this game. I saw him in a trailer, but I also saw a charizard. So, you never know.

We'll probably get Pikachu, seeing how we did get the whole "Wild Pikachu appeared!" bit. Charizard was likely just there to be shown in its new model.
I'm planning on getting a Pikachu myself, I just hope there's an actual way to get a Light Ball this time. -_-
I know early trailers aren't the best source of info, but we saw a wild Pikachu appear in the first forest so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for that to be the case in the game, considering that's how it debuted in RB.
Is Volt tackle still only obtainable by breeding? We really do need an easier way to get light ball. If I remember, the pikachu line are the only Pokemon to get volt tackle. Maybe they should give it a little boost. Or at least easier to obtain. Less recoil at least. A light ball volt tackle from pikachu is almost KO for it.
Wow I did not see this topic and just made one asking the same thing.
Obviously I'm hoping we can get Pikachu and light ball early on.
BTW do think it'll say its name in battle if pokemon-amie is any indication?
Started from the bottom now we're here.

I know right and when its KO'ed(nooo lol) it'll say its classic chaaa! from pokemon yellow.
Started from the bottom now we're here.
I hope he's available early... he is the series mascot and deserves a chance to be used by all newcomers to the series.
I wouldn't use him, but that's only because I've used him several times in the past (Red, Fire Red, and Soul Silver). If I feel like feeling nostalgic, I'll grab him, but I think others should get the chance to use this lovable electric mouse.
As a side note, I always find it hard to use old Pokemon on my first playthrough of a generation. When it was rumored that you can get the Kanto Starters in this game, I thought for sure I'd use Charizard, who would be both my Fly-Slave and Fire type. However, that was before Litleo was announced, and now my team will have 2 Fire types if I get Charizard. My only other option for using a Kanto starter midgame now is Squirtle (Chespin will be my starter) as a Surf slave if I don't like any new Water types too much.

Replacing Glass in French Door
Hello, my wife and I are looking at replacing some old windows in our house, and we've done some searching and found an installer and brand we like at a fair price. Our question is related to our French Doors.
We have 4 sets of double french doors (with 48" total span) on the front of our house. Evidently, this is a pretty rare and expensive fix. It will cost us 2-3 times the cost of all the windows in the house to replace these doors. I want to make clear that I realize you have to pay a fair price if you want a good installer and a good product. This comes down to we just don't think we can afford to do the doors with the windows, and we're likely to do the windows first as they are probably a bigger source of energy savings.
As the doors themselves are all in good condition we were wondering if it was possible to replace just the glass with a higher efficiency glass (they are all single pane at the moment, and we'd like to go to double pane and as efficient as we can get). If it is possible, would this be likely to save any money over a whole door/jam set up? More importantly would it make the door appreciably more energy efficient? The door is currently a wood door, with no drafts around it as it has "seal" foam strips to prevent this. I realize it won't be as good as a new door, but if we could get significant benefit over the single pane at a reduced cost, then it would be something we'd consider. ALternatively, if this doesn't work, as a stop gap until we can afford the switch, do the insulating window dressings really make any difference? I'd appreciate any advice we can get on a way that we could approach this for the doors.
If they are quality doors, it may be worth your while to do it. If you have true divided lites probably not as it is questionable as to whether the an insulated glass unit would fit in the rabbetted glazing pocket.
If these are one lite doors, have a reputable glass company come by and assess whether it can be done. Tempered glass as required in doors is expensive. New glazing stops would also be needed.
Hi Eastbay10,
Thanks for the information. If I'm understanding what you are saying, I doubt it would make sense for us, or even be possible. Our doors are presumably old, and I'm relatively sure they are multiple not single lite. That said, I'm no expert, so I'll get a reputable glass company to come over and give us a look.
I know it won't make any difference in my particular case as price will depend on what is done and on quality of materials and work (and rightfully so), but is there a ball park for what we'd expect if it were one lite? (I mean very rough, are we looking at $500/door? 2000/door? etc). I just want to make sure I have some idea of what we're dealing with.
I don't get involved in retail glass replacement so I can't help. There is probably someone else on the board that can give you some idea.
From what you said with the doors being old and multiple lites, it doesn't sound cost effective.
Another idea would be to reframe the openings and turn them into four foot wide windows. Those would be significantly less than new French doors or maybe leave one a door and turn the other two into windows. Just a thought without seeing it.
Is the current glass safety glass( tempered or laminated).
If doing new tempered low e argon double panes is to costly perhaps you can add storm panels neither glazed with tempered low e or acrylic, till you can get the doors replaced.
Andersen makes 4' French doors, that where I would start if replacing.
Energy almost entirely, though I suppose there may be some aesthetic value gain. No leaks or issues like that. Our windows are just so inefficient it isn't funny. The doors (I think) are somewhat less so, but the repayment period on the doors might be above what we're willing to commit to the house (and above our means at the moment). Why do you ask?
Also, thought I posted replies yesterday that don't appear. I'll look into Andersen doors, and we thought of the idea of windows, but really like the doors. THanks for the ideas.
The right windows and doors are going to save energy, no question about that, but partly depending on where you live, replacing doors and windows strictly for the energy savings may not be quite the great idea that it appears at first glance.
If saving money on your energy costs is your primary motivator, I would suggest that there are better ways to do so than replacig windows.
If you want to improve comfort, because the living room is freezing all winter and boiling all summer, while you are taxing your mechanicals all year around and they just can't keep up, then that could definitely be a valid reason for replacement. If the doors and windows are pretty much junk then obviously thats a no-brainer.
Heck if you have double-hungs and you want casements, that would be a good reason too. But once again, if it is ONLY for potential energy and/or money savings, I would recommend that you might consider a home energy audit before jumping into window and door replacement.
Hi Oberon,
Okay fair points. I suppose we could look at that, and I think I was including our level of comfort within the energy savings portion :). Our rooms are big rooms are quite cold when it's cold and our AC runs a lot when it's hot, we're in Louisiana. I don't know that the windows and doors are junk necessarily (again not an expert), but our windows are single panes with aluminum frames from the 1980s (I assume original to the house, but I can't say for sure).
You do make a good point though there might be easier ways to improve our efficiency. I don't think the house was really built with efficiency in mind, so there might be a lot of easy things I don't know about. For example we have closets on the outside walls that are saunas in the summer and frigid in the winter (well relatively as far as LA gets frigid...). I wonder if there's even insulation in the walls it's so bad. Short of pulling the sheetrock though, is there anyway to install (cost effectively) insulation in existing walls?
Anyhow, so many questions, and I apologize for my naivtee. I'm happy to get any insight I can get, and perhaps the energy audit is the most logical first step.
Thanks again.
It just so happens that there is an home energy rater from Louisiana who happens to hang out in these forums.
She goes by the name ERLA (go figure)...
I might suggest that if you are interested you can title a post in the building a home forum with ERLA in the title and ask her to drop in here and participate in your thread.
She is good, trust me on that one.
lots of things have a bigger effect on comfort
and energy savings than window/door change outs.
here in La. window/door change outs have a long payback
and small energy savings (about 15%).
tell me more about your house.
single story or multi story
on slab or on piers
what sq ft is the living space
what size &type hvac system
where are ducts located
where is heating system located
what are interior walls..sheetrock or paneling
along with the dozen questions to answer..think about this.
back in the 1980's homes were not built tightly, and have a lot
of areas where air leaks into the house.
if you seal the air leaks, then it is less costly to heat/cool
and comfort is achieved. insulation slows temp transfer
but it doesn't stop air movement.
sealing leakage sites is your best bang for your buck.
sealing leaks in ductwork/returns is the next biggest
bang for your buck.
both require inexpensive materials, but lots of labor.
that the central runs a lot in the summer isn't a bad thing.
it is the oversized units that run 10 minutes on & off all day
that cost you money & comfort.
blower door testing the house to find leakage sites,
and testing duct work for leaks is not uncommon here in La.
do some googling of these testing methods & we'll talk more.
its been a LONG day...in someone's attic all morning, &
then under their house sealing ducts & gaps in floors all
afternoon. achy, tired & not thinking well enough to explain
better just yet. but I will...just work on my questions &
do a little self education ...we will go from there.
btw in what area of La. are you located?
best of luck.
(Hey Oberon...how ya doing? I forget gw has a window
forum..but if you are here...everyone is in good hands!)
What...am I chopped liver....?
Just kidding.
You will find that we have very few inquiries as it pertains to people changing out their windows on the basis of efficiency only and given the fact that the two most significant contributors on the windows side (Me and HomeSealed) are both BPI (envelope and analyst) certified, we steer people in the right direction.
Just like you would argue that you need to know more about the home prior to making an assessment, I would also argue that the "company line" of only saving "X" on windows is also a bit outdated.
We see homes that show massive tightness improvements when we change out the window and the savings far exceed what you are referencing above.
Usually and to a larger extent because of the envelope tightness improvements, but, as you said, every home is different.
Glad to have your contribution.
I stand by my numbers as I have run them many times in my arch energy software used by people in my resnet field.
the numbers may change in other climates, but here in my state...the 15% savings is accuarate.
locally we have window companies promoting 40% savings..
which just isn't happening. I usually get called after the big bucks have been spent on windows...and by tightning the home,
reducing duct leakage and specific to that home upgrades
achieve 50% savings in existing homes.
kudos to you & your company for involving building envelope
& bpi training,,,here in La. your company would be the exception,,,
not the norm.
there is a La. based window company that installs good quality
windows for a very fair price..and I recommend them often...but
not at inflated savings or reduced payback of investment.
didn't intend to slight you..just Oberon & I go way way back...
glad to see that the two of you have this forum covered.
I'll have to visit more often to be more familiar with your postings.
I am not saying that any guaranteed saving rate is acceptable and whatever company is doing that better watch their arse if they are doing that.
LA being a much more CDD vs. HDD dominated climate would support that idea that savings will be mitigated. It is cheaper to cool your home as compared to cool it from the outset.
It largely depends on window types and application as well. We have a bunch of steel casement, steel pan, single pane glass in the older sections. Between the terrible seal, thermal rating and hollow cavities behind the jambs, the saving can easily approach 30% on a smaller home with a good amount of glass.
I have done test in and test out on home where we just did windows and dropped +30% on the blower door number. We wound up tightening the home so much with the 2nd phase window project (full air sealing and insulation was first) that we had to have an ERV installed.
Thanks again for posting and I was just busting your chops about chopped liver.
If you hand around long enough...you will learn very quickly that I have a sense of humor and am usually joking.
So clearly, I have to research this blower test, but ERLA, I have to ask, can you direct me toward this reasonable LA based window company so I can get some idea of whether the quotes I've seen are reasonable? Price wise, they both seemed okay, but from what I read one company's windows are not good and the other's are (based on the expert opinions on this board, and I just can't tell the difference).
Hiya ERLA, ltns!!
I hope that you are doing well!
LOL WoW!! I grew up eating "chopped liver" - otherwise known as either liverwurst or braunschweiger. Loved the stuff as a kid; haven't had it for awhile, but would probably still enjoy it I assume.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the back and forth between the two of you (and btw to both, you were discussing with one of the friendliest, most knowledgeable, and very best people that it has been my pleasure and privilege to have met online in all the years that I have been doing this...enjoy!!).
DHam, the purpose of my questions was simply to give you a few alternatives to consider before you spent a bundle of money.
I was not suggesting that replacing your windows would be a bad idea, just that you had all the details before you made the final decision.
I would strongly suggest however that you are getting some great advice from a couple of absolute top-of-the-line professionals, advice that you would be hard pressed to get for free out of here. For you as well, enjoy!
To ERLA and WoW, I would never suggest that air sealing wasn't an absolute necessity when dealing with energy performance and savings, but I would suggest that as important as air sealing is, don't discount the effects of the glazing when considering window performance.
In a heating dominated climate I would suggest that the greater the delta V the more important is the glass make-up, and in a cooling dominated climate I would suggest that stopping solar heat gain is a pretty significant factor in energy performance.
Hi Oberon,
I didn't take it in a bad way. I'm all ears for more economical ways to save the same amount of heating and cooling costs. If the sealing helps as much or more for smaller cost, great. If the cost is small enough we might be able to do both. I was once an engineering in construction (though not residential) and my dad was in code enforcement for a while, so I'm familiar at least vaguely with most of the terms, but very novice in their application. More than happy to listen to experts to get the best bang for the buck.
I think we did some easy things, like redoing our kitchen nook which was a bit "drafty". We realized this was because the nails that were supposed to anchor into the toe plate missed and we literally could look straight to the outside... That made that area significantly better. Then we installed some doors on the fireplace which was drafty. Since it's gas, my recollection is the code requires a spacer to keep the flue open a bit at all times... that's also a bit warmer now. However aside from rather obvious huge issues like that, I probably wouldn't know that we had an issue. I'm not sure how bad our current windows are our our bill is in comparison to other homes. Perhaps I should look at that I guess. Is there a standard for what is good for heating (gas) and cooling (electric) in my area that I could reference? That is can I say that my average bill is x, and compare to some standard y to see how well (or more likely how badly) we are doing? I assume there's also a standard that would come into play for the right amount of attic insulation, right? I looked a bit into energy audits briefly today. I saw an add for about $100 audit that was usually $400, supposedly. Is that a fair going price? I have no idea what a reasonable charge is for that service, and I'm cautious about believing the level of discount without further exploration.
I'll try to do some further research on some of the topics mentioned this weekend. THanks.
DHam, no offense taken in any way. Good luck on the project!
WoW, I have never had either pigs feet or geflite fish...not sure what to make of either of them.
I prefer my fish raw and either wrapped in sticky rice and seaweed or else on top of sticky rice and seaweed, depending on my mood at the time!
Hi All,
Thanks for all the advice. We got a bit busy, and haven't actually moved on this yet. We did however have an energy audit done, and found some interesting things. As inefficient as we thought our house was (built in the early 1980s, aluminum frame windows, sheetrock etc.), the auditor was surprised that we were leaking as little as we were in the blower test. (Recollection is he said it was equivalent to a 12"x12" opening in total, which he actually said was okay). The biggest window/door issue was actually on our newest supposedly most energy efficient door, that just has a draft around it. He also said based upon our windows that we probably wouldn't see that much benefit from new windows, as most are in the shade and not drafty, even if they are single pane and aluminum frame. His "push" was to make the attic a conditioned space (which he does), but he wasn't really pushy. He gave us a list of options, and said the best bang for the buck would be to simply seal the holes for wire coming from the tops of the wall plate to the electric outlets, which I can do.
We're still considering the windows, and we've just gotten a second quote, which is a tad higher, simply because of an increase in costs of supplies. However, now we realize that a lot of it is an aesthetic and convenience thing for us, not necessarily a payback issue.
ERLA, is there a way I could get you to let me know who this reputable LA window installer is? I don't know what's "legal" to post on the website, or if I can give you my contact info for an email (assuming that's allowed).
Why would he recommend to condition the attic?
Can you post up a picture of the home?
If you are not using the attic as a conditioned space and your have available ventilation, putting foam on the underside of the roof is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
Sealing all the top plates is recommended as it increasing the R-value of the insulation.
Spraying foam, and then the require intumescent paint, is a huge waste of money.
How much foam (depth) was he recommending?
Hi Wow,
I thought I'd posted a response previously, but it doesn't appear to show up.
I'll try to update from what I remember of the conditioned space estimate. My recollection is that the argument was that if we did that the ducts in the attic would no longer be leaking cold air into a hot attic, and the venting I believe was going to also be sealed. In fairness the guy said the best bang for the buck was simply sealing the top plate. I don't really remember much else as we were not at all interested in this method, as we wanted to have access to different points in the attic that would be hindered by this method before even getting to whether it made other sense or not (which I guess it doesn't).
So I guess now the question is whether we wish to update the windows or not. Previous forum comments have suggested staying away from Window world (though my parents have some and love them... I don't have the heart to tell them the general opinion of these on the forum).
We're looking at Wincore, and we were thinking of going with the 7700 series, but I see they have what I think is a new 8800 series. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the wincore line, and could tell me if the 5400, 7700 and 8800 are decent windows. What are the differences between them that make them better or worse and are the 7700 or 8800 worth the extra money over the 5400 series. (I'm a novice, so basic terminology and translations to what that means would be appreciate :)). We are not looking to nickel and dime a good window or installer, but we want to get a feel for whether we benefit from upgrading from one grade to the next (again we're planning the 7700 at this point). We don't want junk, but we don't really need the Ferrari of windows either. Any advice on this would be appreciated.
Also thanks on the previous advice. We realize that we might simply likely these windows enough more than our old ones to justify the purchase even if it doesn't pay for itself quickly.
Sealing the top plates, penetrations (plumbing, can lights, mechanical chase, etc.) is an absolute must regardless.
Seal everything, make sure the ventilation isn't obstructed, seal up all the ductwork connections, and blow in cellulose to R-50.
The Wincore window is a decent product.
Air infiltration ratings are anything to write home about but the window is otherwise solid and a better choice than what your parents went with.
Windows will not pay for themselves on any sort of fuel savings ROI schedule. They will largely offset their cost in resale ROI.
Thanks for the feedback, WoW. So i guess sealing the top plates is a good first step, and sealing all the can lights and other light fixtures (we actually have an old fluorescent fixture that had about a fist size whole through the ceiling to the attic, that you couldn't see until you switched the light bulb. So a novice question here. What type of sealant? Something like a great stuff, or do they make product more suited to this particular task of sealing the top plates?
Another few questions about blowing the cellulose in. First, does this make more difficult to access the equipment and storage (so do i have to redo any of the plywood I've currently got up there?). Also, is this safe to use around pilot lights / can I build barriers to do this safely. I've got a gas water heater and gas furnace up there, and if cellulose is flammable, that could be an issue. I'd assume it's retardant like most insulation, but would rather ask the question.
Also, on the Wincore comment, I have a few follow ups. When you say that the infiltration ratings are not anything to write home about, does that mean they are kind of mid-range respectable or bad? Also, so I'm tracking isn't air infiltration a measure of how much Air Moves through them from inside to out? If so, isn't that kind of one of the most critical issues to make sure that they are as efficient as possible? I hope that's not sound accusatory, it's not supposed to. I'm really trying to learn just what I'm getting, and I don't know windows well, obviously. Also, in your opinion is there a lot of difference between the 5500, 7700 and 8800 lines? I'm sure that there are the ones I've read about in the specs, but I guess I'm trying to get more of a practical read. Is there a practical difference for a homeowner?
You will likely use caulking or spray foam (froth packs are easier) to seal the top plates.
You need to build containments out of a fireproof material around the can lights.
You will need to build something to keep the insulation off and from around the HVAC and water heater.
Mid range to high on the air numbers if memory serves me correctly. Air infiltration is probably second to U-factor in looking at efficiency.
Hi WindowsOnWashington,
Thanks again for the info. One other thing that I was looking at today was that the new replacement windows seem to have much thicker frames than what I've got now. I've attached a photoshopped picture pulled from some gallery photos from the installer (left, white) and our existing, old windows in the actual picture (dark, right). So, it's big wall of 4 windows right next to each other. WHat I mean is that the vertical divisions seem much wider in the new windows than the old, which could obscure views.
If I'm doing this anywhere near accurately, it seems like the border between windows is about 2-3 as wide for the new windows. As these are going to look into our backyard, and we like the view, I'd prefer to avoid that.
So my questions are 1.) is my assertion accurate, or am I over thinking this? 2.) Assuming the frame is generally wider, is this avoidable with new/decent windows? 2.) If so, how?
I'm wondering what my options are. We're thinking we really like the idea of new windows now, but we don't want to ruin the view of our back yard with another foot of total view blocked or so. I realize there are tradeoffs to everything, but I'm wondering if there's a way to accomplish getting updated windows without this issue.
That image is probably pretty accurate.
Specify for a full tear out and go with a new construction option (i.e. pull the exterior trim and set it to the rough opening).
If you are worried about the impact view, go with a different combination.
I would put a large picture in the middle with Double Hung flankers.
Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking with the picture in the middle. How does that usually affect the cost? Is picture window more or less than two double hungs?
More importantly, why would you recommend the new construction vs. replacement? How does that affect cost? WHat's the benefit? Again, I'm not trying to penny pinch, but I'd like to know what the tradeoffs are.
Tough to say.
Picture will absolutely have to be tempered in that case.
New construction (i.e. nail flange) option is recommended here give the ease of that option with the 4" trim and the size of that window that you will be pulling out.
Okay, and okay.
Sorry for being slow, but I'm trying to understand why that would be easier (and I'm not saying it's not, I'm just curious and want to clarify). Does it look nicer in the end, or is simply an ease of install due to the sizes being smaller or something? Also would the new construction force us to change the inside finishes as well?
Also, I'm pretty sure the existing setup is actually 4 windows too, maybe 2, but I think 4 with shared internal frames if that's possible. Maybe it's not :). All do have the ability to open and close the lower portion individually.
Windows on Washington,
Again, thanks for answering my endless stream of questions.
Drywall, with wooden trim around the bottom/sill. Does the larger window come from smaller frame or just because it sits differently in the rough out? Would the outside wooden boarder then sit back on top of the window instead of having the outside seal sit on top of the existing boarder (assuming that's what happens with replacments, but maybe not?)?
Another thought I had was what about end-vented sliders? This might give us the option of a picture window middle with even less in the way of the view than double hungs on the end. I'm curious to know if that's even possible, and if it is if there are any drawbacks to the sliders, particularly from a security stand point.
New construction will mean that it will not sit inside the drywall return and will go to the rough opening.
Wood border would go on top of the nailing flange and butt up to the screen track.
Sliders are not as robust as double hungs but if someone wants in, they will get in.
Hi WoW,
Thanks. So, if I'm understanding a new construction would sit under the border, and require the border be removed, whereas a replacement window would sit on top (well "outside") part of the border, overlapping it? If that's accurate, what's the normal overlap. We really don't want to lose the border, which we kind of like.
Ends up the slider option is off the table anyway, as the opening is too big.
One other question, with replacement windows, whats the normal distance between the main pane of one window and another window. I ask because as I mentioned, we're concerned about the extra vertical blocking. Right now, our frames have only 2.5" between the pane of one window and the next. The installer we're likely going to choose said that it was "about 3 inches" from pane to pane, but looking at the example galleries of their work, it looks like it's got to be at least 4.5" maybe 5-6". This might be unavoidable,unless we go to a full picture window, but I'd like to do what I can to minimize it.
Would a picture window to double hung have less thickness on the shared vertical sides than a double hung to double hung if we went with a picture window flanked by double hungs on the ends? or would the frame/borders that were shared likely be the same thickness in field of view?
Another option to clear the view is do away with the grids, but we like them and they match the doors nearby.
One thing that I just can't get out of my head is the width of these window frames. Is there a good window out there with narrower frames? I might not get to the 2.5" that I have for the "vertical" frame splits in my existing big window, but I'd like to know if there's something narrower than the wincore 7700s. What about a sunrise or okna (can we even get that in Louisiana)? Or perhaps a different frame type (Fiberglass maybe)?
I realize some of these might be more $, but I don't want to ruin the big window with a big frame. AM I just over thinking this?
Fiberglass might be a bit narrower but I think you are probably over analyzing this at this point.
On an opening of that size, if you change the arrangement to an operator style that will give you a bit more glass (i.e. 3-Lite slider), you will have more glass than you have now.
Hi WOW,
I might be over thinking this, indeed. But I want to make sure I don't have buyers remorse of my own doing. The wincore line, which is what we are leaning toward doesn't have a 3-lite that will fit the opening. It's too big. We might do double hungs flanking a picture window or 3 double hungs.
We had a Marvin quote, which seemed fair we had the wood clad and the all ultrex. They were obviously more expensive, but didn't seem too much different.
We're also seeing someone about sunrise windows. They were supposed to come out today, but had something come up. They mentioned a "vclass" window they sell. How does that compare to a "normal" sunrise? From what I can read, sunrise is good except for the essentials. Is that right?
Anyone have efficiency numbers on a wincore double hung, with Low E double pane? Can't find anything on their website, and the company said they couldn't give that out, talk to a dealer.
Wincore is okay. Doesn't have great air infiltration numbers and runs on the bulky side of the spectrum in terms of total vinyl that you are looking at.
If you look at the Sunrise (nice window and clean lines) you will need to look at the Vanguard or the Restorations and be sure to specify reinforcement in the sashes as those are large windows and the Sunrise can be flimsy at those sizes without the reinforcement.
That's what I've heard about the air infiltration numbers, but the only actual numbers I could find were from an old thread on this page that said AI = .07, which I thought was "okay" bordering on "good" (though that is more of a guess, is it accurate? What is good vs okay vs. bad on AI?)
So for the Sunrise line they have essentials (bad), "normal" sunrise (mostly good, but might have issue with size of windows we need?), vanguard and restoration in that order, right? I hadn't heard of "v class" before. Is that what they call vanguard now?
My main impetus for calling sunrise was that the frames are supposed to be better, but also allow more glass. My biggest hangup on the Wincore's is the bulkiness of the frames. The installer is great by virtually every review I can find. I just can't get around how thick they are for just okay reviews from people on this board.
Sunrise will have a considerably narrower profile to the frame and you will notice it.
That air number on the Wincore isn't right by my recollection but the point is mostly moot because of the frame size.
Never heard of the "V" series but the Vanguard is a nice unit and avoid the Essentials.
I'm curious to see the sunrise and speak with their rep, but in the meantime, I found some numbers for wincore:
Seems like AI for 72" heights are pretty good, but 76" heights are about double that. Does that make sense?
Okay, that's surprising to me. I would have guessed (obviously as a novice) that AI ratings would go up with a bigger window. It does look like a taller window had more leak here though.
Surprisingly, a lot of those windows are actually very close to the size of the windows we need. The bank of windows that has us so concerned for example with three windows would be almost exactly 48" by 72" for each individual window.
As a reference point, what would you see as "good" on an AI rating for the south? I'd assume the SGHC would be most critical for us, is that right or is AI tops, or one of the other measures?
I'm really kind of interested to see the sunrise product and rep, as it seems we can get better ratings and better aesthetics. I realize it will be a higher price point, but I'm hoping still within our budget.
SO, I've had a number of issues that have prevented me from pulling the trigger still on the windows. While visiting with family and friends over the holidays, I saw two additional companies that appeared to have narrower frames, and at least to the uneducated eye, didn't have major apparent issues. I'm of course wondering if there are apparent issues with them to experts that know the industry. Has anyone ever heard of "showcase" windows out of Texas or Doers windows out of Tampa? I'm wondering if they are decent or not so much. Looking at their ratings they seemed kind of okay, but i have no way of knowing about the construction because I don't have the expertise. Any info you guys have on these would be great.
Still in Louisiana, but they were in a friend's house here in Louisiana, and there's a rep in town. It seems they are a smaller company:
Doers was at relatives in FL, not sure if they have a rep here. THey appear to have two former Champion guys and their more impact line and a "sashlite" out of CT.:http://doerswindow.com/aboutus.html.
THough in the pictures the windows might be bulkier than I thought.

Pamper yourself silly
When I was approaching the hotel from a distance, the glimpse of the hotel doesn't gives me the Wow feeling as the exterior was rather plain and simple. I started to feel a little disappointed...
But not for long.
Once I had cleared the security checks at the hotel lobby entrance and step into the building, I heaved a sigh of relieve. The lobby was spacious and the decor, color and lights portray a warm atmosphere. I couldn't wait to check out the room.
When I entered the room, I was immediately impressed without any hesitation. With a modern design concept, the room was very spacious and tastefully decked in leather, glass and wood parquet.
Check out the photos which I took with my phone camera. Enough said.
Everything was clean and new and I found out the hotel was only 5 years old. Service was very good and up-to-par with a 6-Star hotel. The staff spoke very good English and always ready with a smile. The hotel gym was pretty large and very well-eqipped. Most of the guest were obviously there for a business trip, so that translate into a pretty empty gym and a almost-exclusive swimming pool during the daytime. Food was good with plentiful of selection.
Location wise, it's only a 5 minutes drive to the international and domestic airport but a good an hour and a half drive to the commercial hub, partly due to the extremely bad and heavy traffic especially during peak hours in the morning, noon and evening. It will be wise to budget enough time if you need to travel to your office from the hotel.
To wrap it up, this is definitely one of the best hotel that I had stayed during my trip in India and would strongly recommend it if price (and distance) is not much of a concern.
Superb Service, Superb Hotel
The Hyatt Regency in Mumbai is a fantastic place to stay if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Mumbais busy streets. The service here is top class, and the food is awesome. The atmosphere is peaceful, the staff are first class, there is an outdoor pool, health club and gym, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to be away from it all - not so sure if it is suited to families, more for couples and business I think. The hotel is a mere 5 mins drive from Mumbai airport. The only downside is that you are 1 hours drive away from Colado where the main tourist attractions are, but you can always hire a car and a very knowledgeable helpful driver for the day who will happily take you everywhere you want to go. You can then return to the tranquil calm of the hotel and enjoy a wonderful evening meal and excellent facilities. Its not cheap, but I will definitely stay here again.
Fantastic Hotel
I stayed here on the executive floor for 5 days and found it to be a great hotel. For only a small amount more, the upgrade to exec level is well worth it. The seperate reception, the free drinks, the helpful staff made it all worth it.
The hotel appears to be primarily a business hotel but that didn't detract from it. It only means that the pool and spa (during the day) were empty! The restaurants were great but don't just stay in the hotel, it's easy to get out out into a taxi and explore other areas - Bandra is especially good.
I suppose a downside to the hotel is its location - its a good hour drive into the centre of Mumbai and the sights such as Gateway to India etc, although it means that you are very close to the airport and not far from the beach!!
One other thing, with the local taxis, get them to state a price and stick to it, on more than one occassion, the taxi drivers would try and push the price up once they had realised we had bought a coffee table and then went to a great restaurant - Olive Bar and Kichen in Kara. Don't be intimidated and let them know you will report them to the hotel if necessary. They are only trying their luck.
Great place to stay in Mumbai
We stayed here 2 nights after three grueling weeks traveling India. After coming from Varanasi, the Hyatt was seventh heaven. We were upgraded to the Concierge Level. My wife and I quickly sign up for a 1 hr massage (about $30/ea) while the kids swam in the pool. The food was excellent, the staff friendly and accomodating. The hotel is VERY close to the international airport. Nice for early morning departures.
The Hyatt Regency Rocks
The Hyatt Regency Rocks.
This new hotel is done in a very moderne, yet retro, 60's style reminiscent of Dulles Airport. It works. It is all glass and stone, located about 20 minutes from both the international and domestic airport terminals. It is not near downtown Bombay, which with the traffic can take as long as an hour and a half to get to. If an elegant, traditional South Asian look is more your style, try the Sheraton next door. We had a delicious meal at the South Indian style restaurant there.
The rooms are reasonably sized. They have large marble and glass bathrooms with an impressive sunken shower area with both conventional and "rain" style shower heads.
There is a small pleasant pool area and several excellent restaurants. It is definitely more of a business hotel than a tourist or couples place. But if you arrive from abroad at the usual ungodly hour preferred in South Asia, it is a good place to collapse for a day before heading into town. It is highly efficient and arranges transportation quickly and at reasonable rates.
Rooms have WI-FI internet access, though it is egregiously expensive, as it seems to be everywhere in India.
The lap of luxury
I stayed at the Mumbai Hyatt in October 2005. I have to say, it was one of the nicest places I've stayed in. The bed was to die for comfortable and the bathroom was beautiful. There is a lack of hot water if you like really hot showers (but I didn't find anywhere in India with hot water) The service is attentive and the breakfast was decent.
Great Hotel
New hotel, great lobby. Rooms are very comfortable and well layed out. All in all an outstanding place to stay.
Great hotel, super location, helpful staff
Very nice hotel. Room was comtemporary, clean and comfortable. Great lounge area. Close to airport. Friendly, helpful staff. I would definitely stay here again for travel to/from Mumbai, especially with time constrained travel that did not permit me to stay in downtown.
One of the nicest hotels ever
We stayed in the Mumbai Hyatt on the last night of a 3 week trip to India. We got a good deal on a club room which included airport transfers. We were picked up at the airport bang on time in a large new air conditioned car which was very welcome when the teperature was 35 degrees. The hotel is beautiful, the service exemplary and the club lounge has great complimentary food and drink. My only regret is that we could only stay one night and had to leave the next day at 4am.
Truly an experience to remember
Stay here, this hotel has everything to ask for and more. Of course you are in Mumbai where there's not much to do. But the hotel makes up for it. From the rooms to the facilities. The staff are truly world class. Jamie Footner is the Director of rooms and she has trained her staff to a point where is like a well olied machine. The Restaurants are headed by Mr Deepak & Mr Hermatt, the food is unbelieveable.
My review is 5star

Carrefour to buy malls next to its hypermarkets - 0 Comments
PARIS — French big box retailer Carrefour plans to buy dozens of shopping malls next to its hypermarket stores.
The retailer said Monday that it and eight investors would buy 127 malls in France, Italy and Spain from Paris-based Klepierre for 2 billion euros ($2.75 billion). Carrefour already owns 45 malls in France. All the shopping centers will be held by one new company.

How often do you visit Turbulence.org? If not too often, now would be a good time. Recently, the New York new media organization launched "The Secret Life of Numbers" by Golan Levin with assistance from Martin Wattenberg, Jonathan Feinberg, David Becker, David Elashoff and Shelley Wynecoop. Fun for math geeks everywhere, "The Secret Life of Numbers" is about the popularity of numerals. Using custom software, popular search engines and statistical tools, the artists surveyed the public to understand what integers were the most favored, as if members of a boy band. Rather than just present cold statistics, though, the artists give site visitors an interactive visualization. Who said numbers weren't cool?

As far as negatives go there are 3 that come to mind. You pay twice for trash, once in your rent and again with your water statement along with the pest control. I think $50 a month for trash is entirely TOO MUCH! There is one entrance on a one way street so you have to go out of your way to loop around to enter the complex. There is a gate for exit by the trash compactor but you cannot enter through this gate. Lastly if you have neighbors above you they sound like they are coming through the ceiling which is extremely frustrating when you are trying to relax or sleep.

Applying updates to an active kernel with Ksplice
Clever Helper for Some Scenarios
Ksplice includes clever mechanisms to support hot kernel updates at the binary level. Despite intelligent code pushing and vector analysis, administrators should be aware that they do need to check manually on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the tool is useful. Ksplice is useful for simple cases, but it is no replacement for a hardware failover solution in situations that require high system availability.

This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: These things have lasted me 6(!!) years with only a few small cracks in the plastic that only took some tape to fix. As far as sound quality they sound as good 6 years later as they did the first day I got them. The fact that these things last so long should say a lot.
Cons: None. You get what you pay for and more.

Review from long-time user
This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: For the price, the sound quality you get from these sennies is incredible. Open design gives a more accurate open soundstage. Sure, you don't mute the world and the world can hear you too, but closed designs muddy the sound and bass becomes exaggerated beyond what's intended.
Cons: Aside from the grills on the sides, everything is plastic. It's been a few years of good use, but the earcups are starting to crack near the headband extenders.
Other Thoughts: As a not-quite-audiophile, Sennheiser hovers in that perfect space between top-shelf and performance grade. It's a premium product, more expensive than some, but cheap enough to be worth the money FOR SURE.

This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: These headphones sounds, and looks amazing, relatively comfortable, and the cord is pretty long.
Cons: Though I love these headphones, I have a few complaints too. As some other people said, the silver plastic splits open, and overtime the crack only gets bigger.
Other Thoughts: I've owned these headphones for three years now.

This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: awesome sound quality, comfortable ear cups and it's easily adjustable. long cord and comes with as a 6.3mm, but an additional 3.5mm adapter. love the multi-purpose
Cons: still none... yet.
Other Thoughts: i bought these in 2007 and they still work. nothing broken yet and the sound still remains flawless. love these headphones

was awesome... at first
This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: good sound and size
Cons: some portions cheap/weak
Other Thoughts: was a great pair of headphones at first. but with use, cracks appeared on both sides in the silver plastic area where the head part connects to each ear part. The plastic just doesnt seem heavy duty enough to hold up over time. The cracks just get bigger until the whole side splits. For the price I expect better!

This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: I've had the headphones for over 4 years now and haven't even thought of purchasing a new headset. They are so comfortable that I never really feel them on my head, its kind of like a pillow wrapped around your ears. Sound quality is incredible - I can't keep myself unbanned from counter-strike servers because I can hear people running from their spawn!
Cons: I recently had to purchase another 3.5mm adapter because my dog some how bent the stock adapter running past my computer. I had to remove a few stars from my dog, but this product stays at a 5.

I didn't even know what I was missing
This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: My entire life I've only ever owned speakers for all of my electronic equipment. Before purchasing these headphones the only other headphones I had ever used were the default iPod ones--is that weird? Anyway, this incredible technology changed my life. I listen to music completely differently now thanks to these headphones; it's pretty amazing how much more awesome chilling out to some jams is now--peanut butter & jelly sandwich in hand (don't forget the milk!). The bass sounds full and deep, neither overpowering nor lacking. The higher frequencies sound crisp and rich, not shrill or empty. Everything just sounds better, in every way.
Cons: I can't wear them 24/7. That would be unrealistic--it would be difficult to shower with them on, and the water would surely damage them. I wish I could experience every new song for the first time with these things.
Other Thoughts: I've sat on them, dropped them, slept on them, stepped on them, and scratched them many many times and they aren't even close to showing signs of weakness.

Great Headphones!
This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: They are very lightweight and the sounds is excellent. The bass sounds great but is not very strong, so if you are looking for a set of headphones with heavy bass look else where. they are extremely comfortable and i wear them for 5 hours at a time and sometimes forget they are on my head.
Cons: If you are looking for a set of headphones for traveling i would not buy these. They have what Sennheiser calls an "Open Back" which allows sound to come out of the sides of the headphones so people next to you can easily hear what you are listening to. plug in for a normal 1/4" headphone jack is quite large and may be annoying for people who want to use with a MP3 player.
Other Thoughts: They are great headphones for home use like gaming or music. but because of the "Open Back" design i would not reccomend them for traveling.

Hd-555 Review
This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: I have had these for six years and they are truly the BEST comfortable,durable, sound is superb.

Buy them before they are sold out!
This review is from: Sennheiser - Surround Sound Headphones (HD 555)
Pros: These headphones. Are. Really. Comfortable. After the first few minutes, you are not even bothered by them. They sound amazing. Things will sound more clear, defined, all at a lower volume. Open headphones also make it sound even better. Don't be worried about burn it. They sound ridiculously good right out of the box. Hard to believe they could get better than this. If "leaking sound" and "open-backed" makes you worried, don't let it. By the time other people can hear it, it's too loud for listening( unless it's absolutely silent in the room), in which case they might here it, but only a little bit. VERY little. Impedance is low enough to be played off a portable device with still super sound quality.
Cons: For 90 dollars, it makes me feel like a thief. The fact that you need the adapter to play it from and iPod or anything else 3.5mm is not a problem at all. It will fit into your device fine, and it will hold in there. Trust me, it won't bother you at all. Over-exaggerated problem. They are also discontinued, replaced by the 558.
Other Thoughts: The are discontinued. I bought these on 3/8/2011, and the next morning, they were out of stock. Not "sold out", out of stock. I don't Newegg will get anymore. I think I got the last pair they had. =P If you need amazing headphones for less than 100$, buy these. A "certain other" - starts with an A - online company still carries them for 85$. Amazing shipping, got here on time in perfect condition. First buy from Newegg, now I see why they are loved so much.

NXR range review... so far we love it!
We purchased a Durocorp NXR DGRB3001 all-gas range for about $1800. It is a 30" with the sleeker handle and vertical knob panel. We had it converted to LPG at the factory. It was installed a few days ago and so far we are VERY happy with it.
We were looking for a high-powered range, all-gas or dual-fuel, stainless industrial look. We did not have the budget for Wolf, Viking, etc. Considered Capitol, American, Bluestar, Bertazzoni. We ruled some out when we decided we wanted sealed burners, and the Bertazzoni's oven was just way too small. We compared the Capitol and NXR side by side and much preferred the burners on the NXR, as well as the price!
It has 4x 15k BTU stacked burners, they are gorgeous. The oven interior is blue enamel, with beefy racks. Fit and finish is similar to Capitol, and less refined than Wolf, Viking, especially Bertazzoni et al. But very nice looking, solid range.
So far it has proven marvelous to cook on.
Our gas man (who works on lots of high-end ranges) was very impressed with it.
So far no problems whatsoever. For people looking for a great look and great performance without the usual high pricetag, I'd recommend considering a NXR. (Be aware that this range is actually 30" wide, not the usual 29 7/8" that regular stoves are, so plan accordingly when installing cabinetry.)
Please excuse the unfinished kitchen!!
Thanks chara ct!
My cabinets are American cherry with a natural finish (no stain). They are made by Glenwood http://www.glenwoodkitchen.com/, which is a small-ish cabinet company in Canada. I live in Maine and one of our local kitchen stores carries the line. The quality for the price is truly amazing. They also use "green" materials like no-formaldehyde glues and boards and low VOC waterbased finishes, which was important to me. I think the knobs and pulls arrive today- I can't wait!
I just wanted to check in with you Stacey and see if you were still happy with your purchase. I think my budget has room for stone countertops OR a Bluestar but not both. We are coming from a downdraft electric coil cooktop with only 3 working burners. Anything would probably be a big improvement!

Nick Griffin and fellow nationalists in St Petersburg
Former BNP leader Nick Griffin was among several well known nationalists and defenders of the White cause who attended a conference this weekend in St Petersburg, reported by newspapers including The Independent.
In recent months Mr Griffin has been saying a lot of sensible things about the West's futile war on President Assad of Syria, and the new "cold war" with President Putin's Russia.
In his St Petersburg speech, Mr Griffin reportedly said "the survival of Christendom" is "absolutely impossible without the rise of the Third Rome: Moscow."
In one sense we agree with his analysis: European civilisation would always have benefited from a German-Russian axis, as Bismarck perceived as long ago as the 1870s, which would have prevented the last century's catastrophic European civil wars and halted our continent's descent into multi-culti barbarism.
My only real difference with Mr Griffin's analysis is his residual Islam-obsession, which admittedly is nowhere near as bad as it once was, and is a great improvement on the continued blinkered stance of the EDL and the new BNP leadership.
If you are going to mention the phantom menace of the "Islamic caliphate" when in Russia, of all places, you should be aware that the mid-19th century reinvention of that concept was really a pawn in the "great game" of diplomatic intrigue between Britain and Czarist Russia, further hyped during the First World War by that arch-intriguer Sir Mark Sykes, the British imperial midwife to the Zionist project.
Col. Cyril Wilson – one of the main British architects of the Arab Revolt during the First World War – wrote:
"When we were pro-Turk and anti-Russia we also rallied Indian Moslems to the green flag and filled them with strange ideas regarding the Ottoman Caliphate."
Sharif Hussein of Mecca, the key British ally in launching the Arab revolt, noted: "Great Britain repeatedly and plainly declared, by writing, her desire to restore the Arab Caliphate."
While Sir Mark Sykes himself later reflected:
"The caliphate of the Turks was never anything but a name until we boomed it, and it has never been anything but a nuisance to us since we did so."

The Covington Police Department is offering citizens a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn the inner-workings of the Police Department through the Citizens Police Academy.
Last night 11 Alive News aired a report on the fees paid to the Newton County Attorney, Tommy Craig. Many questions were raised by the reporter as well as citizens who were interviewed. Many have questioned why the Board agreed to reappoint Mr. Craig as County Attorney. Prior to the vote, I made the following statement which was made part of the official minutes of the meeting.
Newton County is home to two big bicycle races a year, a bicycle club and one bicycle shop.
It's a relatively calm morning at the Newton County 911 center. Nate Stykes is giving instructions to a mother whose child is having a seizure. A few feet away, Love Frazier assures an elderly individual with chest pains that an ambulance is on the way.
It's almost here.
The 11Alive report from "The Investigators" on Newton County Attorney Tommy Craig, and the pay he received in 2014, brought a lot of attention to the Board of Commissioners this week, a lot of which was negative from the talk around the county and social media responses.
Some local residents expressed anger at County Attorney Tommy Craig and the Board of Commissioners Friday following a Channel 11 news report on Craig's longstanding tax problems and his $1.1 million income from the county last year. Watch it here.
Jury selection for the death penalty case of Rodney Renia Young began Monday and has continued through this week.
Newton County homeowners who have their mortgage with Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup or Ally Financial could receive some financial assistance in the coming months.
Conyers police report an accident with injuries on Interstate 20 eastbound involving three vehicles, between West Ave and Ga. Highway 138. Another accident is reported on Ga. Highway 138 near Flat Shoals Road.
The name Tuskegee stands tall in American history, especially among African Americans. It also looms large of the life of Wilbur G. Mason.
Students from Georgia Piedmont College practiced their skills Thursday afternoon outside the Covington Fire Department on Pace Street. Local junkyards often donate totaled vehicles to the fire departments to use for training. Once they are done, they then come and pick the vehicles back up.
The area of Ga. Highway 162 in front of Tempie Lane was clogged Thursday morning, as deputies from the Newton County Sheriff's Office stopped drivers on the highway to hand out flyers, soliciting information on the double homicide that occurred in the out-of-the-way neighborhood Tuesday morning.
Tennis Alcovy boys def. Eastside 4-1
Trees are even more valued in Newborn these days after more than 100 mature trees were destroyed or uprooted in a category F1 tornado last April.
The two people found dead inside a Tempie Lane home Tuesday morning have been identified as 66-year-old Peggy Molden and her 56-year-old nephew Donald McCollough.
The Newton County Sheriff's Office recently held a ceremony honoring several deputies for their service to the county. Some of the recognition came from more recent events, while others commemorated events that happened decades ago.
Flung food at Alcovy High School last week led to a brief altercation in which no one was injured, school and Sheriff's officials said.
One man was injured late Tuesday afternoon when a tractor trailer veered off Highway 81 into a ditch, the Sheriff's Office said.
Authorities are investigating a double homicide on Tempie Lane.
More than 50 movies and TV shows have had scenes filmed in Newton County, and local residents will be able to rent many of those productions beginning next week.
