Description: Christians resolved to study the Bible more fervently often struggle to grasp the progression of Scripture as a whole, instead encountering various passages each week through unrelated readings, studies, and sermons. But once they see the Bible as a Great Story, they begin to see how their own lives fit into what God has done and is doing in the world. New Testament scholar J. Scott Duvall and Old Testament expert J. Daniel Hays wrote Experiencing God's Word to help Christians consider how their lives can be integrated into the story of the Bible, thus enabling them to live faithfully in deep and important ways. They survey the entire Bible through broad themes that trace the progression of God's redemptive plan.Each section deals with a certain portion of Scripture's story and includes reading/listening preparation, explanation, summary, observations about theological significance, connections to the Great Story, and written assignments for further study. These features---combined with the authors' engaging style---make Experiencing God's Word an ideal introductory college text, Sunday school elective, or small group study.

Hi, everybody:
Now I am in doubt about which hotel I must reserve.
As we never ski before, we will spent the first days of our stay in the ski school, which is located -as far as I know, near Centennial Lift N° 6.
We have to drop the kids off at the kids school pretty early (8 AM). Then go to the adult school (around 9 AM)
The Osprey is little high price -same as Park Hyatt-, but both are closer to the ski school. The Charter or the Pines Lodges look a smarter price wise election, but I will have to take the shuttle earlier in the morning or walk in snow about 500 yards or so.
By the way, I dont know at what time the first shuttle depart from each Charter or Pines Lodge, and how much time it takes from the hotels front door to One Beaver Creek Place. Does the Shuttle stops in every other hotel or condo on its way?.
Could you recomend another hotel that I missed?
I read another recent post about car parking in the Village. Could I park a SUV near the Ski School? I read the post but have some doubts about if there is a hour fee rate, a full day fee rate or there is some option for free. Also if there is enough parking space.
But renting a SUV will give me the chance to eventually visit different spots on my own and driving in the snow. That will be a plus.
Thanks to everyone of you who help so far me so much in understanding how the Village works in winter.

The ADAM wasn't just built to look good as a fresh trendsetter. This urban mini car shows first-in-class comfort and driver assistance features that will make your drive even more unique.
Thanks to ADAM's Daytime Running Lights with LED Technology you will see more and get seen more. DRL attracts the attention of oncoming vehicles in even in daylight, which increases road safety. Not only the headlamps have LED technology, this goes for the tail lamps as well. Due to lower electrical power consumption LEDs also help to reduce CO2 emissions.
The ambient light package also illuminates the passenger footwell, the console storage and the door pockets in eight different colors, made to match the interior trims. When the doors are opened you can step inside to colorful word. And of course it then dims down to the chosen light intensity as soon as the door is closed. Enjoy this light feature especially at night when it is dark and change the color at a flick of a button. The effect while driving is a very calming one on the eyes when everything else in the cabin is dark at night.
When it comes down to protecting its driver the ADAM is one lean mean fighting machine. Safety isn't part of a show; it's part of a lifestyle. That's why ADAM features 3 airbag systems to protect you as the driver and the passengers. Front airbags, pelvis/thorax side airbags and even curtain airbags for the first and second seat row are there in case of an accident. Seat Belt Pretensioners are essential to control body movement in a frontal crash event. They pull the seat belts tight to keep the occupants in a defined position to ensure maximum protection in combination with the front airbags. Most cars have 1 pretensioner per front seat, controlling the movement of the body. The Opel ADAM is one of the first cars in its class that features Dual Seat Belt Pretensioners on the front seats.
To maximize and increase the feeling of space and airiness inside the new ADAM, a fixed glass roof is available. And you don't have to let the weather rain on your parade. ADAM offers you the blue summer sky at all times. Maybe you prefer a starry night or go sporty with a black and white race flag. Just light up your ceiling with illuminated and printed motif headliners above your head.
Don't just heat the steering wheel, but also the front seat while you are at. Within 1 min this first-in-class feature will have your hands warmed. A switch in the main console activates the heated steering wheel and the heated front seats.
The front and rear seats of ADAM are of a totally new design and are made to be a paradise for your back. Thanks to the use of MDI high-density foam, which is used for exclusive high comfort mattresses as well, the seats provide the best comfort behavior. Higher quality and density foam padding stand for comfort and long-term durability.

14 Civ. 1230 (S.D.N.Y.)
On February 24, 2014, The Special Litigation Unit filed a Class Action Complaint in the United States District Court in Manhattan against Arne Duncan, in his official capacity as the Secretary of the United States Department of Education (USED), on behalf of thousands of students who were victimized by the Wilfred American Education Corporation (Wilfred), a national chain of for-profit trade schools that engaged in widespread fraud and went out of business in the early 1990s. The complaint in the case, Salazar v. Duncan, alleges that USED is violating federal law by actively enforcing the loan obligations of former Wilfred students without taking reasonable steps to ascertain whether the students' eligibility for loans was falsely certified by Wilfred and by failing to discharge the loans of eligible borrowers.
Wilfred schools were the subject of several federal investigations in the 1980s and 1990s, and its principals were subsequently convicted of federal financial aid fraud. In 1992, the U.S. Higher Education Act was amended in response to widespread fraud on the part of Wilfred and other for-profit schools hungry for federal student loan dollars. The amendment permits a false certification discharge that forgives and reimburses student loans disbursed after January 1, 1986, when it is proven that a school falsely certified a student's eligibility for loans. This includes what is known as the ability-to-benefit (ATB) discharge for students who did not have a high school diploma or G.E.D. and were not given or did not pass an approved ATB test, but were still certified by a school as eligible for federal student loans.
The complaint alleges that since the early-1980s, USED has known that Wilfred was engaged in widespread fraudulent activity, which included falsely certifying thousands of students as eligible to obtain federal financial aid. The USED Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigated the practices of approximately 50 Wilfred schools across the country and found a consistent pattern of gross violations. A 1996 report cited a pattern of systemic fraud over many years and recommended that all Wilfred ATB discharges should be granted because of the widespread violations by Wilfred schools. Despite this finding, thousands of individuals eligible for and entitled to a discharge carry the burden of their Wilfred debts to this day.
On January 16, 2015, Judge Robert W. Sweet granted Defendant's motion to dismiss the complaint and denied as moot Plaintiffs' motion for class certification. NYLAG filed an appeal, and on May 12, 2016, the Second Circuit vacated the District Court's order, handing a significant victory to Plaintiffs. In its decision, the Second Circuit held that Plaintiffs are entitled to their day in court, to try to get the Department to meet its obligations to students. In doing so, the Court rejected the Department's claims that its "discretion" insulated it from having to justify its actions. This decision opens the courthouse doors to Wilfred students seeking the protections that the Department is obligated to provide them, and the decision's legal foundation may also open those doors to countless other students who attended predatory schools and who are entitled to the Department's protection. The Second Circuit remanded the case for further proceedings in the district court.

World Series: Go Giants!
This year's World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers is interesting in terms of baseball history. The last time the Giants won the series was in 1954, when they were in New York. They have won four National League pennants since moving to San Francisco in 1957, but never took it all. The Rangers started as the Washington Senators, relocated to Minnesota to become the Twins, and then moved to Arlington, Texas. The franchise has been in the post-season three times in 49 years; it has never been in the World Series.
So whom to root for? That's a no-brainer for this Mets fan and Democrat. Consider:
• Giants: National League; Rangers: American League
• California: Blue State; Texas: Red State
• San Francisco: Nancy Pelosi (8th Congressional District); Texas: George W. Bush (former team co-owner)Compose
Conclusion: Go Giants!

Residential Burglary standard sentencewith 3 points
Your question as stated can't be answered. WA uses a sentencing grid to determine the punishment for each crime. Residential burglary is a class B felony: depending on your offender score, which takes into account priors, you could be looking at somewhere around 3 years to more than 8. You need to consult a WA criminal lawyer to help you figure this out.Ask a similar question
Washington state uses a sentencing guideline scheme that takes many factors into account, not just the offense of conviction. The United States Supreme Court has ruled in a series of cases that such schemes provide guidance to the judge but cannot take away the judge's discretion, and that "aggravating factors" in such sentencing schemes can only be used to calculate a higher sentence if the factors were found true a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Beyond that, punishments tend to vary significantly from one county to the next. Only an experienced criminal defense attorney who has reviewed the facts of your case, and your personal background, and is familiar with the sentencing practices of the local courts in the community can make a reasonable assessment of the likely sentence.Ask a similar question

|Butterick 6028 Pant & 6026 Shirt
The curve on the front of these pants
is created by the side seam
which adds just
the right amount of interest
to this flattering classic trouser.
(Feel free to crop for Summer.)
What the line drawing doesn't show you is
the curve in the side seam.
(I'm assured this will be remedied.)
It's there, I promise.
This version was inspired by
Marcy's 'Party Pants' contest.
The fly front is really a 'fake',
and I must thank Sandra Betzina
(via Threads magazine)
for her flawless clear instructions
which made things so much easier for me
when writing directions,
to say nothing of actually stitching the zipper in...
(She says to throw the directions out but in this case I wouldn't.)
The tucks and nipped in waist
update the shirt with
a new elegance.
Use a #10 Bernina topstitch foot
to keep those tucks in line.
The collar has a stand
which means you can add variety
with a soft collar
or use just the stand for hot weather.
I went to the book
to remind myself how to best approach
a collar with a stand.
I find this reference book extremely helpful
and it's always fun
to learn something new.
These pieces (and many others)
will be featured in our fashion show,
'The Vogue & Butterick's Creative Closet', at the
Sew Expo in Puyallup, Washington,
February 27 - March 2, 2014.
9:30AM on Thursday,
1:30PM on Friday,
9:30AM on Saturday.
We are in booth #830.
Please come by if you are attending the Expo --
we have some amazing fabrics --
plus it's always great fun!
Our booth Divas plan their wardrobes
with great care and tremendous talent!
I am blown away by their creativity,
enjoying a carefully crafted new ensemble
every day.
I have just been informed
(thanks Clare!)
that there is an error
in this pattern.
Unfortunately I cannot get into the 'reply'
section on this blog to reply...
And, I am away from my studio for a week
to work the Sew Expo.
The best thing to do for any pattern error
is to contact Butterick directly at:
They are the one's that can make it right
so please contact them.
(I have just sent them an email
but you know that thing about the
'squeeky wheel'.) kt
Butterick (Vogue/McCalls) got right on it!
Here is the reply I got this morning:
Steps 11 & 13 will be changed;
currently they say to turn in the edges even with the front.
This step is being removed,
as this shouldn't happen until step 21.
We will revise the instructions.
Consumer Services, Butterick Patterns
Thanks Butterick for the swift service! kt
PS The 'reply' part on this blog
still is not working for me!
What is up with that?

A high-performance computer is

Computer memory, throughput, computational rates, and other related computer capabilities contribute to performance. In addition, performance is often dependent on details of algorithms and on data throughput requirements. Consequently, a quantitative measure of computer power in large-scale scientific processing is difficult to formulate and may change as the technology progresses.[1]

Refried beans are a staple in my house. Back when my oldest was a toddler, he went through a phase where he would only eat "smushy beans", so I've practiced this recipe a lot.
Canned beans are OK – they're good, and consistent – but if you want great refried beans, you have to cook your own. Homemade beans have an extra depth of flavor, and the cooking liquid is almost better than the beans. It's a shame that cooking dried beans takes so long.
That's where the pressure cooker comes in. A cup of dried beans, three cups of water, and 45 minutes of cooking time (30 minutes under pressure, plus 15 minutes for the pressure to come down naturally and the beans to finish cooking). Homemade refried beans, from scratch, in about an hour. And most of that cooking time involves staring at the pressure cooker.
*No pressure cooker? No worries. See the notes section for stove top instructions. Or if you really want to cheat, see the notes section for canned bean instructions.
For weeknight beans, I try to get the pressure cooking going early. I don't want to be staring at the pressure cooker, willing it to finish, when everyone is sitting around the table. As soon as I get home, I throw everything in the electric pressure cooker, set the cooking time, and then go about the rest of my evening routine. The electric PC shuts itself off when the beans are done. The beans can sit in their liquid for a while once they're cooked. That way, the beans are waiting on me, not the other way around.
Recipe: Pressure Cooker Refried Pinto Beans
Adapted From: Lorna Sass, Pressure Perfect
- 6 quart or larger pressure cooker (I used my electric Instant Pot)
- Potato masher
- Large (12 inch) fry pan
Pressure Cooker Refried Pinto Beans
Pressure Cooker Refried Pinto Beans – rustic, chunky beans from the pressure cooker.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
- Yield: 4-6
- Category: Pressure Cooker
- Cuisine: Tex-Mex
- 1 cup pinto beans (7 ounces), sorted and rinsed
- 2 cloves garlic (whole, with skins still on)
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 cups water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pressure cook the beans: Put the beans, whole garlic cloves, bay leaf, and water in the pressure cooker. Stir, and then lock the pressure cooker lid, Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes in an electric pressure cooker, or 30 minutes in a stovetop pressure cooker. Turn off the heat and let the pressure come down naturally, about 10 minutes. Remove the lid and discard the bay leaf and garlic cloves. (Save the beans and the cooking liquid).
- Sauté the aromatics: While the pressure is coming down on the beans: heat the vegetable oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the onion, smashed garlic cloves, jalapeño, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté until the onions are browned around the edges, about five minutes. (If the beans aren't done, turn the heat off and move the pan to a cool burner. When the beans are done, put the pan back over medium-high heat and continue with step 3.)
- Fry the beans: Add the beans and all of their cooking liquid to the fry pan. Be careful – the hot oil may splatter when the wet beans are added. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the beans. Start mashing the beans, stirring as you go to get the onions evenly distributed. Keep cooking the beans, mashing and stirring occasionally, until the beans thicken, about eight minutes. Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Serve.
For more bean cooking details, see my Pressure Cooker Beans Basic Technique.
- For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle crumbled queso fresco (or substitute shredded pecorino romano) on top of the beans right before serving.
- These are rustic, chunky refried beans. If you want smooth beans, use a food processor. After step 1 is complete, pour the beans and their liquid into a food processor. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
- If you want to speed up the pressure cooking, soak the beans overnight in 1 quart of water with 1/2 teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Drain the beans, use the recipe recipe as written (including the 3 cups of water in the pressure cooker), but cut the time under pressure to 15 minutes.
- No pressure cooker? No problem. Cook the beans in a large sauce pot with a lid. Instead of pressure cooking, bring the pot to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover with the lid ajar so some steam can escape. Cook for 2 hours, or until the beans are completely cooked. You may have to add water during the cooking time to keep the beans submerged. Once the beans are cooked, continue with Step 2.
- No dried beans? No problem. Canned beans will work just fine. Replace step 1 with a 16 ounce can of pinto beans and its liquid.
- Use make-ahead beans: Why cook a cup of beans when you can cook a pound? I freeze leftover beans in 2 cup containers, covering them with their liquid. Then this recipe is a quick weeknight side dish. I pull a container of beans out of the freezer, and thaw it in the microwave while I sauté the onions in step 2.

This really makes me want to run out and get a pressure cooker! I do the opposite — cook my beans all day in a slow cooker so they're ready and waiting when I come home.
Stretching time with a slow cooker works just as well as a pressure cooker.
I DID IT! Thank you! I bought a Fagor PC, but am admittedly a little intimidated by it! These were a HUGE success last night! I have a Diva induction cooktop, I brought it up to full pressure on 12-setting, left it there for 1 minute, then reduced to 6 for 33 minutes and they were PERFECT! Thanks again!
You're welcome, and thank you for the induction burner update. A portable induction burner is on my "when I get some mad money" wish list.
These were awesome!! This was my very, very first attempt with a brand new pressure cooker (our first.) Your recipe was very clear and easy to follow, and they turned out delicious. My friend Charlotte (http://www.therebelheart.com/charlottes-blog/) uses a pressure cooker a lot, and she directed me to your website. I ended up having beans already soaking when my husband came home with the new Fagor, so I'm glad you had the note to only do 15 minutes. They were perfect.
One variation: I used Peruvian or Peruano Beans, instead of Pintos. They are similar but a little tastier, in my opinion, and I found them in the bulk section of my local health-y store. I think next time I will also add a little epazote and cumin in with the bay leaf in the cooking water, which are all carminatives. If you don't mind a link to a recipe on my own blog, I use them when cooking Anazasi Beans… http://babybirdsfarm.com/anasazi-bean-burgers/
Thanks and looking forward to trying more recipes on your site!
Thanks for the suggestions! I just got som Anasazi beans from the market, and was wondering what to do with them.
Oh they are yummy! They can be done any way pintos are cooked. Anazasis also make great refried beans. But we do love those burgers…

I was looking for an alternative to my slow cooker refried bean recipe because it was already evening and I found this recipe. It was great. Next time I'll go lighter on the salt but these very tasty. Thanks!
Thanks for this recipe! It is my favorite refried beans recipe. I make a big batch and freeze smaller portions. I come to this blog often for the simple pressure cooker recipes.
Thanks, Kayla!
I made these beans this morning. They are delicious and taste nothing like the store bought! I did cut back on the salt due to my husband's high blood pressure. Thanks Mike! Your directions are super clear and I followed to T.
Next time I will double the recipe. Hopefully they will still reduce well in larger batch.
You're welcome! And, you can double the recipe and it will work fine. Enjoy!
Did these tonight minus the Jalapeno so it was kid friendly. Very tasty.. went over quite well and the Instant Pot makes quick work of dried beans!
Thanks for this. Wonderful easy recipe and tastes fantastic! Canned refried aren't even in the same galaxy.
How has this site eluded me for so long?
Made these refried beans in my pressure cooker just now and fried up in my cast iron skillet.
Flavor explosion and the best refried beans I've ever had! Thanks for the recipe!
I've made these beans twice now, each time tripling the recipe, for our contribution to the potluck family taco night and they are a hit! The first time I made these, it took a really long time because the pan I used was too small so I had to cook it in batches. This last time I hauled out our 12″ dutch oven and used an electric hand blender to speed up the mashing process (so much easier on my poor arm!). My husband has volunteered me to make another batch of beans for his upcoming March Madness party. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I sure love my pressure cooker.
I made this recipe, and it was tasty!! If you increase the recipe using an electric pressure cooker, do you also increase the water, and all ingredients? (Like if I wand to use a pound of dried beans?
Thank you for this recipe! I have done refried beans in a pressure cooker before, a long time ago, and am a little rusty. But just purchased an electric pressure cooker, not your brand though. I went for the PressurePro. I am wondering, do I need to soak my beans (either over night or with the quick method) to cook them in my pressure cooker, or can I just put them in dry? (I have forgotten what I did in my stove top pressure cooker I had before) My instruction manual didn't give any info about beans, although there is a preset button for beans (which I thought was kinda weird!) Thank you again so much. 🙂
Hello Mike,
What a wonderful recipe. I've been making great R.F. Beans in my nearly antique pressure cooker for decades, but I'm always looking for variations in seasonings etc. In this case, I measure, wash and pick about two cups of dried beans, add tons of water and bring to a near but incomplete boil (no salt) and let them rest for an hour or so. After, I drain the few veggies, including about 2X the pepper – I used the pickled ones and all must be a super fine dice. Rinsed, soaked beans get fresh water or broth, the veggies and a slightly shortened time under pressure. (One might think a little less time, but they are getting old.) As noted, I'm always looking for new seasonings to try, but your combination is one of the best. I still use natural cooling and a brief fry while mashing; I tend to mash a bit less that many. I serve them in multiple ways and they seem just fine after short term freezing (3-4 months?) without any errant flavors. Friends even ask for them. Your seasoning combination is a big hit and it makes the beans. I do like to add a little fat while frying and mashing and I've tried just about everything. For my own use, I prefer a pork leaf lard, a few object on religious grounds; perfectly OK. EVOO, butter vegetable shortening or vegetable oil are fine and so little is used. As for a little salt, that is always the last addition I do not much care for it and in many things use under half what may be called for. Thanks for sharing this adaptation of Ms. Sass's method. Now… I hope I can find your blog and an equally good method for Mexican rice. Per the comment above, I know that you do not like to pre-soak beans. I recognize that it is not necessary when using a P.C., but I still do so, especially with dried beans that are >one season old. Thanks for the great seasoning suggestions. Happy eating to you + family,
A bit confused how you presoak but still use the same amount of water to cook the beans since all of the water is transferred to the aromatics. Do you reduce the amount of cooking liquid transferred over to the aromatics?
Made a half recipe of this (without presoaking the beans) today to put on tacos. Oh my, I never knew beans could taste like that. My wife was blown away by the flavor in these beans.
Thank you so much for opening our eyes to the amount of flavor fresh beans can have. I will never buy canned refried beans (or canned beans in general) again!
Agreed! Have this recipe and haven't bought canned beans ever again!
I'm planning on making this today, I'm looking forward to it based on comments. I just am not understanding why it says the prep time is 8 hours when there's no pre-soak needed. Can you explain what I might be missing?
I've been doing alot more cooking from scratch lately. I've gotten to the point that (except for tomatoes) canned ANYTHING just doesn't taste right. I absolutely LOVED these refried beans. So so easy and SO tasty. I served them alongside some viejo ropa and rice. I was wondering if the full 1/4c of vegetable oil is necessary or could I cut back a little? At any rate, I will never EVER buy canned refried beans again.
I've made all sorts of refried beans over the years, and this definitely is a good, no frills recipe for them! One question, though – if I soak the beans in advance, is there a reason why I still should use 3 cups of water? The beans don't need that much water to cook, and less water would certainly cut down on the amount of time it takes to cook down the liquid. Is there some other benefit to that specific quantity of water that I am missing?
OK, these are delicious!!! Just made them for lunch and, you're right, the depth of flavor is astounding when compared to canned! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Nice recipe. I kept the beans in the pressure cooker for 35 minutes with a natural release… they were a bit underdone. Next time I'll go for 45. The only thing I changed is adding Epazote in a tea ball (removed prior to frying.) to me, if you don't have epazote, the beans are missing some flavor.
This part of the directions is confusing me: Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes in an electric pressure cooker, or 30 minutes in an electric pressure cooker.
Can you please clarify?
Amazing refried beans! In fact, the best ever!! I get asked for the recipe regularly, I tell them to come here to your website to get it! I have found the water to beans ratio works better if I don't soak the beans, which works great for those last minute recipes! And of course, for us non-spicy/heat people, I put in 1/4-1/2 of a jalopeno. Awesome job Mike!

Hormann Up and Over
Hormann have one of the single largest range of high quality one piece up and over garage doors available either from their UK sized Series 2000 range.
The Series 2000 up and over garage doors fall into two main categories for the type of operation - canopy or retractable.
The illustrations further down on this page show both garage door types with the optional steel fixing sub frame option.
Always remember that any up and over garage door requires a fixing sub frame - usually either in timber or steel - it will not fit directly to any structure without the sub frame and should not be attempted! This sub frame needs to be fitted in between or behind the structure.
The up and over garage door is still the most versatile when it comes to materials and designs. The one piece panel structure means that doors can be made from steel, fibreglass (GRP) and most types of timber.
Steel is the most popular material used in Hormann up & over garage doors. Their durable construction is a point of paramount significance and is further complemented by their low-maintenance qualities and competitive price. Hormann steel garage doors are available in a powdercoat finish or in a textured wood foil coating for a natural appearance.
We have designed and manufactured many wonderful timber doors over the years along with some very large steel and GRP doors. More recently however the maximum available width of a one piece up and over garage door has reduced due to stricter safety legislation and the sectional garage door has stepped into its place. Steel is the most economical choice of door panel.
Download the Series 2000 colour brochure PDF (4.61Mb)
Steel Up & Over Door Designs
Hormann produce the highest quality galvanised steel garage doors, with all the pressing and assembling from a dedicated factory in Germany. The component parts are then shipped to Leicestershire to be assembled into complete garage doors which are fully prepared to install; the handle being the only part fitted on site after fixing the door and gear to the structural opening. All of the parts on a Hormann up and over garage door are either, zinc or galvanised unlike other manufacturers, ensuring long life and smooth operation.
Click here to view all Hormann Steel Up & Over garage doors
GRP Up & Over Garage Doors
Hormann GRP (fibreglass) garage doors are produced using the tried and tested steel 'open for infill' system which then has a high quality GRP panel inserted and secured into it. This system ensures no warping can occur like on some GRP garage doors when there are large temperature changes or exposure to sun over a period of time. The Hormann range has a choice of factory finished woodgrain colours and smooth white gloss finishes as well as window options in some of the designs. A range of standard sizes are available with or without an optional box section steel sub frame for installation.
Click here to view all Hormann GRP Up & Over garage doors
Timber Up & Over Garage Doors
Just like the GRP doors the Hormann timber up and over garage doors use the steel box section chassis system as the basis for a very high quality door. The preferred timber for longevity and flexibility in colour staining is Cedarwood and this is the timber used for the entire range. Cedarwood is also light in weight which helps ensure a good range of sizes that are effortless to operate. The timber garage doors are supplied as standard with a clear basecoat stain for on site finishing but can be factory finished in a choice of colours. Again the steel box section fixing sub frame is available on all sizes in canopy or retractable gear options.
Click here to view all Hormann Timber Up & Over garage doors
Hormann Up & Over Canopy Doors
The canopy garage door is the simplest and most common type of garage door mechanism, its name derived from the fully opened garage door panel protruding about a third forward of the sub frame to form a canopy.
It gives the maximum drive-through width when open and is the easiest to install. The door is balanced and assisted by torsion springs positioned above the door panel on the head of the fixing frame lifting the door panel by a pair of cables attached to a roller either side of the door.
The canopy door mechanism is generally only available up to 8 feet (2438mm) wide.
It is not generally used if the garage door is to be automated although with the use of a good quality 'bow arm converter' and a reasonably powerful operator this type of door can be automated easily and successfully.
Hormann Up & Over Retractable Doors
The retractable garage door is fast becoming the most popular type of up and over garage door mechanism in the UK, its name derived from the garage door panel retracting fully into the garage when open. It is the mechanism that will convert easily and safely into electric operation with the least equipment required. The drive-through width on a retractable mechanism is reduced as the lifting arms sit in between the sub-frame when the door is opened, be careful when limited for width that you do not restrict access too much for getting a vehicle in and out..
The retractable mechanism can take much heavier loads with tension springs at the sides easily increased in size and strength.
The best retractable garage doors have no cables internally for locking but locking rods made from steel with connection to a locking system using a euro profile cylinder. They also have multiple springs either side to spread the risk of spring failure and give an overall smoother action when lifting.
Retractable gear mechanism is generally used for garage doors over 8 feet (2438mm) wide and heavier garage door panels such as hardwood. All double garage doors have retractable gear only.
Door Finishes
Steel garage doors are powdercoat primed in white as standard from the factory and are nowadays available in several optional RAL colours.
Terra Brown
Signal Blue
Steel Blue
Moss Green
Ruby Red
Jet Black
Hormann Decograin Golden Oak finish
The most recent innovation has to be the Decograin finishes which are attractive laminate foils applied to the outside face of the door panel to simulate different attractive wood finishes, these are very effective and come with a 10 year guarantee. Two main woodgrain finishes are offered - Golden Oak and Rosewood, perfect for matching modern Upvc window and entrance door finishes.
Golden Oak
GRP (fibreglass) doors are available in ever changing finished woodgrain colours and are all hand finished so never expect quite the same finish as a sample you may obtain! The 'base' colour of the door is in the gel pigment used to make the door in the first place and the final front finish is hand applied.
Timber garage doors are increasingly available in fully finished colours using microporous wood treatments. The most popular form of supply however is still base coat stained for final finishing on site in order to coordinate with other timber finishes on the property.
Automatic Garage Doors
All Hormann up and over garage doors can be remote control automated using any of the vast Hormann range of remote control electric operators.
These high quality electric operators now come as standard with Bi Secur technology and a brand new range of hand transmitters with technology to remotely give an indication of whether the door is open or closed.
128 bit encryption is also used for the very highest levels of security and reliability - the same as used in internet banking!
Automating a canopy type up and over garage door will always require the use of a bow arm converter if installing with a traditional boom type operator.
A fully retractable up and over garage door is always preferable on larger width garage doors, if the option is available, as a bow arm is then not necessary. The retractable garage door has no cables to worry about, side tension springs and the operator has to do very little work to open and close the door - it simply pulls from the top of the panel via a towing arm. You can also add the very useful 'de-latch kit' to a retractable electric door system giving the extra security of utilising the manual locking rods and latches in conjunction with the electric motor all driven by a simple mechanical device.
The range of access controls available today are vast with wall mounted internal and external access controls and a selection of remote control devices to cover all requirements. Hormann electric garage door operators are supplied with 2 transmitters as standard when purchased. Other remote transmitters and access control systems are available from the selection shown below and other controls are available to link in with Homelink systems and vehicle transmitter systems.
1 Channel Hand Transmitter
4 Channel Hand Transmitter
5 Button Hand Transmitter
4 Function Hand Transmitter
2 Channel Micro Transmitter
Hormann Operator Range
Matching Side Doors
Hormann produce a range of steel and timber side hinged doors to match the majority of up and over garage doors from the UK and European range as well as front entrance doors matching their unique range of European sized N80 and DF98 garage doors in timber and steel.
The garage side doors are standard or purpose made sizes as required and are white powdercoated as standard from the factory with a standard steel fixing frame. This frame is a corner type frame as standard but can be changed to a block frame for easier installation.
General Sizing Information
When talking about up and over garage door sizes the reference is always to the internal sub frame dimensions. This is the frame for fixing the door panel itself to and is either produced in a timber or steel box section. A 7 foot by 7 foot garage door (2134mm x 2134mm) ordering size refers to the daylight opening size of the sub frame and the garage door panel itself is smaller for operating tolerances.
Sub fixing frame sizes themselves vary depending on the gear and manufacturer required – so beware of overall size dimensions! The actual drive through width and height of any one piece up and over garage door will never be the same as the ordering size. The door panel hangs down in the opening and reduces the height depending on the thickness of the panel itself and the width can be reduced as mentioned above when using retractable door gear. The optimum single garage door size is about 8'0" wide (2438mm) to allow easy access of a vehicle, the height depends on other factors such as building restrictions or taller 4 x 4 vehicles.
Click here for Hormann Series 2000 size table.
Many diverse European metric sizes are available from Hormann as well as purpose made sizes - call for details.
Installation Positions
Hormann up and over garage doors with fixing sub frames can be installed either inbetween or behind the structural garage opening - butnot in front!
The installation position is usually dependant on sizing restrictions or the finish and depth of the garage piers, although aesthetics quite often is a major factor. A garage door fitted onto the inside face of an opening can be wider and higher than a door fitted inbetween the same size opening. If you are not sure please call or email us - it could mean the difference between getting your vehicle into the garage or not!
Pedestrian Doors in the Main Door
Hormann also offer a large range of their N80, DF98 and ET500 European range of garage doors with optional pedestrian doors built into the main door on either the left or right hand side. A range of powdercoated finishes and sizes are available all with steel sub frame as standard.

GS1 US Launches Initiative with 45 Foodservice Companies
Product data standards group GS1 US said yesterday that 55 foodservice manufacturers, distributors and operators have launched the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative, and have funded the GS1 US Team for Foodservice to guide execution.
Product data standards group GS1 US said yesterday that 55 foodservice manufacturers, distributors and operators have launched the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative, and have funded the GS1 US Team for Foodservice to guide execution.
"The scores of foodservice companies voluntarily adopting GS1 standards along a common timeline [are] a powerful testament to their commitment," said Bob Carpenter, CEO of Lawrenceville, N.J.-based GS1 US. "We pledge to support foodservice with world-class implementation guidance, as we've done for 25 other industries, including the retail food industry."
The initiative recommends the adoption of a common timeline for voluntary individual company implementation of GS1 Global standards for company identification, item identification and product description; 45 of the initiative's founding member companies have already voluntarily committed to this common timeline.
Striving for 75 percent adoption of GS1 standards throughout the foodservice industry, measured in terms of revenue, by 2015, the initiative has been endorsed by the International Foodservice Manufacturers Association (IFMA), the International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA), the National Restaurant Association and GS1 Canada Foodservice. Industry organizations and founding members of the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative cite three main objectives and industry-wide benefits as a result of companies choosing to adopt and implement GS1 standards:
--Driving waste out of the foodservice supply chain
--Improving product information for customers
--Establishing a foundation for improving food safety and traceability
The Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative was formed as a result of a strategic planning process facilitated by Future Perfect Consulting Services. During the six-month process, presidents of foodservice manufacturers, distributors and operators, along with their supply chain leaders, worked with GS1 US, GS1 Canada, and Future Perfect to draft a timeline that individual companies could choose to employ in their voluntary adoption and implementation of GS1 standards.
"Unified Foodservice Purchasing Co-op, LLC, in managing the supply chain exclusively for Yum! Brands, Inc., fully supports the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative and Roadmap," said Daniel E. Woodside, president and CEO of Louisville, Ky.-based Unified Foodservice Purchasing Co-op, LLC. "We began our project in 2005 utilizing standardized bar codes on our product cases, anticipating benefits for all our business partners. As we now begin to realize some of those benefits, we are excited to share our learnings with the industry and commit our full support."
"IFMA is fully supportive of voluntary adoption of GS1 standards," added Tom Sampson, president of Northfield, Ill.-based Kraft North America Foodservice and 2009 IFMA chairman of the board. "Based on Kraft's experience implementing these standards in Canada, we know data synchronization not only drives out waste and inefficiencies, it also frees up time for manufacturers to collaborate with customers to drive growth. Voluntary adoption of these standards will also create a common foundation for improved product traceability and communication of nutritional information throughout the supply chain."
Near-term steps in the Foodservice GS1 US Standards Initiative timeline include:
--By Q4 2009: Companies assign GS1 Global Location Numbers to their headquarters
--By Q3 2010: Manufacturers assign GS1 Global Trade Item Numbers to products and include them on order guides and other trading partner documentation
--By Q2 2011: Manufacturers and brand owners will publish product and company identification and related logistics information to trading partners. Distributors retrieve product information, and populate back-end systems and customer product catalogs
Trading partners choosing to adopt and implement GS1 standards will access standard product information through the GS1 Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN), an open platform developed to ensure continuous real-time exchange of consistent, accurate product information among supply chain partners. Many technology providers are certified to help companies with implementation; certification is required to ensure adherence to GS1 global standards.
GS1 US is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the adoption and implementation of standards-based, global supply chain solutions to maximize the cost-effectiveness, speed, visibility and traceability of their goods moving around the world.
