Hi!! I found your blog recently and I really like your writing!! If possible, could you write smth about Y/N and Hendery being besties and she suddenly wants him to take her virginity, he agrees thinking she’s kidding and they plan it but when the day comes he’s afraid she would regret it but she makes him secure about how special he is to her and how she wants it, then since it was planned she sits on his lap not wearing panties under her dress and boom he’s beast mode on lmao thank u 💀

Omg you i- um YESSSSSS

It’s gotta be you +18 Hendery

Word count: 1.5 K (I’m so sorry I don’t even know how)

Chuckles fill the room at your comment “I want to lose my virginity with you” You really couldn’t believe you said that to your bestfriend, and honestly you weren’t expecting another reaction from him. He obviously thought it was a joke. You were laughing the pain away, unable to convince yourself of how ridiculous you were.

“Yes, I’ll take you flowers and we’ll make it romantic” Hendery says in between laughs. “I’ll scream your name nonstop” You continue joking around. “Hey but I’ll be a gentleman, we’ll take it slow” He says more serious before cracking in a loud laugh. “You? A gentleman? You’ll probably go rough in me just like nothing” You say teasing him.

“Like you wouldn’t love that” He says rolling his eyes. You chuckle lightly and let your body fall against the mattress of your room. You head is on the air, as your neck is pressed against the edge of the bed. You look in front of you, while blood gets to your brain, making your face get slightly red.

So you don’t notice when Hendery’s body moves as well somewhere on the bed. You just notice it when you feel his body pressed on top of yours. His hands are on both sides of your lying body, his face gets closer to your stretched neck, you can feel his breath brushing your sensitive skin. You blush like crazy as your mind gets full of expectations.

His tongue licks your neck from your collarbone to your chin. You flex your neck getting slightly up to look at him and he starts chuckling again. “See? You like that kind of stuff” He says getting off of you. You look at him with a deadly gaze and he chuckles. “Calm down, your secret is safe with me” He says still laughing. You roll your eyes back in your head and lay down again.

“So when are we doing this?” He asks from his seat. You decide to continue his jokes and say “On Saturday, my home is empty” You say calmly. And he nods, eventhough you can’t see him. “I’ll be here at 8″ He says getting off your bed. He then gets in front of your and brushes your lips with his fingers. “Don’t be too inpatient” He says teasingly and you growl at him, before you bite his finger.

“Auch” He says moving to the door. “See ya babygirl” He says in a teasy tone and you just throw a pillow at him, but he’s faster, closing the door before the pillow could get to him.

-------------------------

“I’m coming” You read the message on the screen like ten times, realizing the time has come. You can’t believe this is happening. In other situation you would’ve thought he was still kidding but his messages and actions told a whole different story.

You prepared the best set of underwear you had and put it on. You looked at the mirror several times, practicing some expressions, as if you would be able to control them. And then the doorbell rings. You heart stops for a second, you try to calm down breathing slowly before going to the front door. You open the door looking at Hendery’s body.

His hands were holding your favourite kind of flowers, which he offers to you, you grab them and smell the sweet fragance. “You actually got me flowers” You say calmly as you invite him in. He chuckles nerviously and nods, getting in the house.

You start climbing the stairs, while holding the flowers in your hands, His eyes are fixed on your half naked figure, completely bluching at the inpure thoughts that his mind imagines. “So... are you sure about this?” He says nerviously as you both get to your room. You leave the flowers on your table and turn back to look at him.

“Of course” You say getting closer to him, your lips are about to kiss his but he stops your body with a worried look in his eyes. “I mean it seriously, it’s something important for you” He says looking right into your eyes. “Hendery, It’s gotta be you” You say grabbing his hands and getting them on your butt. Your lips reach his this time, in a soft kiss.

“And what are we gonna do after this?” He says getting your hair behind your eat as he looks straight at you. Your foreheads are pressed on each other and you simply smile “We’ll figure it out” You whisper and he smiles, atacking your lips again. His tongue plays inside your mouth, making you get wetter than you already were. His hand, still on your cheek since he fixed your hair, holding your face stable as he kisses you.

His body makes yours move, pushing it on the bed. He stays standing up as he removes his shirt and pants, only wearing his boxers. You look at his body and smile. “Since when did you have those abs?” You say to him and he smirks “Since always” He whispers getting on top of you.

His body presses against yours and you feel his bulge against your cunt. Your hand gets to it, touching it slightly and the boy gasps, pulling off the kiss. “Weren’t you a virgin?” He asks confused and you smirk “Virgin doesn’t mean inocent luv” You say pressing around his length and he rolls his eyes back.

Your hand gets in his boxers taking his length in your hands and moving through it. The heavy breaths that escape the boy’s mouth make you smirk widely. His lips attack your neck, leaving wet paths all over it and your body shakes at the sensation. “Don’t be shy baby. I’d love to hear the sounds you make” He says against your neck.

His words make you whimper, but when his fingers draw circles over your clothed clit, a loud moan leaves your open lips. “That’s what I’m talking about” He says looking right into your eyes “Now make those cute little sounds louder for me” He growls out and you look challenging at him.

You try your best not to please him as easily but his fingers press harder on your clit making it imposible. He laughs at your sounds and licks the limits of your lacy bra. His hands leave their position to unclip your bra skillfully, revealing your perfect looking breasts which he licks off completely.

The sensation of his tongue over your nipples is the only thing you can think about. You hand has stopped long time ago as your brain was unable to concentrate on that matter.

His fingers return to your cunt, but this time they get your panties off, exposing your pussy completely. His fingers travel along your wet folds and he just says. “Never seen a pussy this wet babygirl” He says teasingly and you moan at his compliment (Is it a compliment?) His fingers get inside of you, curling themselves, reaching places you hadn’t yet explored.

You moan loudly at his actions making him smik widely. “You are gonna feel something bigger later babe” He says teasingly and your eyes roll back, unable to even think straight.

His two fingers turn into three and your walls keep clenching around them. Until you decide you’re ready for his length. He gets his boxers off and get a condom out of his pants. He rolls the condom around his length and looks at you “Ready?” He asks and you nod.

He positions his dick on your entrance and starts getting in, his tip gets in you and you moan loudly. He goes slowly letting you adapt to every inch of his length, until he’s fully in. The pain surrounds you making you sweat like crazy. His fingers wipe off the sweat on your forehead lovingly, not moving at all inside of you.

“You tell me when you are ready” He says kissing your face on every inch he possibly can. You whimp loudly at first but with time, pain goes away, completely replaced with pleasure. “Move” You say in a heavy breath and he nods, moving slowly inside of you.

You feel the sloopy texture of the condom brushing over your walls as they stretch out. “You are so fucking tight” Hendery growls out, also losing it slowly. You chuckle “I’m a virgin Hendery, of course I’m tight” You say at his obvious comment. He smiles “Not virgin anymore” making you gasp lightly at his hot words.

“Fuck” You say as his pace gets faster inside of you. “Don’t stop” You moan outas your brain mixes pain and pleasure together, making the limits between both sensations unclear. He gets rougher, making you see stars and after not so long he says “I’m close” you whimper a “Me too” just before your body shakes underneath his. He smirks and cums right after.

Your breathy bodies are lying right next to each other. “So... How was it?” He says getting the condom out and making a knot with it. You look at him and ask “Did I bleed?” He chuckles at your innocent cuestion and points at the condom “Just a little bit. Why? Did it hurt?” He asks worried and you smile at him “Not as hard as I thought”

Cloudy Days - JJ Maybank x Male OC

1.5 – Stay out of the marsh

When Parker woke the next morning, it was to a lady walking past the sofa he was crashing on. Once he realised that she didn’t just have awful taste concerning the colour of her clothing, but was actually wearing a cop’s uniform, he was suddenly wide awake and frantically scrambled to the end of the bed within 1.5 seconds, as far away from her as possible. Wide-eyed and heavy breathing he stared at her. Unimpressed she stared back, an eyebrow raised and a hand lazily on her hip.

“Do I have to be concerned about why this is your first reaction to seeing a cop?” She asked finally, voice husky, but pleasant. It reminded Parker of a home he’d never had. He shook his head slowly to get rid of the steadiness her persona seemed to emanate, and remembered that she was still a cop. He had met cops like that before, and they had been just as bad as all the others. Some even worse.

“Do I have to be concerned about you sneaking around my cousin’s house at eight in the morning?” He shot back after a quick glance towards the clock on the wall. She raised the corner of her mouth and formed her eyes into slits, as if she was saying ‘touché’.

“Your cousin’s house? That must mean you’re Big John’s nephew, am I right? Tamara’s boy.” She concluded and he nodded curtly, not really liking the idea of talking to a cop in general. Even less liking the idea of a cop knowing anything about his family. “My name is Sheriff Susan Peterkin. I need to talk to John B. Do you know where he is?”

Weighing how good of an idea it could possibly be telling her lies, Parker decided that she would go check in his room anyways and thus just nodded towards it. “He’s in his room. Fast asleep, I assume.”

She nodded and went on. Parker used the moment to go to the bathroom and get somewhat ready for the day. His shirt was completely sweaty, though, so he just shrugged it off and threw it in some corner. When he came back out, John B was already talking to Sheriff Peterkin.

“…of the things I heard, was that your Uncle Teddy, your guardian, hasn’t been in the state for three months.” Peterkin said, leaning on the wall to get a better look at a picture that hung there. John B quickly tried to clean up a little, and Parker decided to just stand back and watch the situation unfold.

“Yeah, that’s false.” He tried to save his ass, but she just lazily waved a hand at him.

“You don’t have to say anything, I know it’s true. I called the school.” She said without even looking at him. Parker studied her side profile, the way she talked and moved. She seemed jovial, and it unsettled him because it comforted him. The last jovial cop he had met had tried to get into his pants. Not very pleasant memories. He had almost gone to jail for decking him.

“They said you used to be a good student, but now you’re failing all your classes.” She said and walked over to the table, where she picked up the remainders of a joint and sniffed at them with a disgusted expression.

“No, no. It’s only one, and it’s history. The dude’s a dick. He’s out for me-“

“And I heard there was a fight on the beach yesterday.” Peterkin interrupted John B, clearly not caring about his excuses. “And a gun was involved.”

Now she looks like an angry mom, Parker thought, and immediately had to think about his own mom. He quickly pushed the memories down.

“Okay, alright. A gun? No.” John B lied, doing a miserable job at trying to convince her. He patted a hand on her shoulder and Parker had to stop and stare a moment just to admire his horrendous stupidity and balls of steel. Back at home, if you even so much as looked at a cop the wrong way, they would beat you up real good or worse. But Peterkin didn’t seem to mind as much as the cops in Jacksonville. In fact, all he got was a glare.

“Did I get in a dust-up? Yeah, but was there a gun? Pft. No. No way.” John B said.

“That’s okay. I know who it was. I’ll get to him.” Parker didn’t like the sound of that. JJ was a hothead and would most probably do something incredibly stupid. “All I’m worried about right now is making sure you’re in a safe home. And you.” She pointed a finger at Parker, who theatrically laid a hand on his chest and made a questioning expression. “I bet you’re not eighteen either. What can you tell me ‘bout your living situation?”

“Yeah, super safe. Super sound, sturdy, you know me.” John B scoffed, and Parker added: “I’m just on vacation, Lady. I’ll be gone soon one way or another.” He ignored the sting that truth gave him.

“Nah I don’t like the sound of that. I’m gonna keep an eye on you, too.” Peterkin said and eyed him sceptically.

John B quickly added: “And, Uncle T is comin’ back, so…”

“That what he told you? Well, if he’s really coming home, I think you should be allowed to stay.” Peterkin said, obviously not believing the Routledge boy. Parker couldn’t help but wonder why she would do that.

“Thank you.” John B said in a duh-tone.

“But if I stick my neck out for you, you have to help me. Tit for tat.” Peterkin said, and immediately summoned a picture of another Jacksonville PD detective in Parker’s head, who was as corrupt a cop as they could get. Hell, he probably sold and snorted more drugs alone than most of the dealers he busted together.

John B scratched his temple. “What does -what does tat mean?”

“Let me see, how can you help me? Oh, I know. So, a body was found in the marsh yesterday. Were you in the marsh yesterday?”

That piqued Parker’s interest, because it was not what he would have expected.

“Yeah, we were fishin’ for some drum.” John B said and cast a quick glance at Parker, who made a grimace that was supposed to tell his cousin to not spill a thing.

“Did you catch anything?” Peterkin asked.

“Nah, we were skunked.” John B said and quickly turned away before looking at her again. He wasn’t as bad a liar as Parker had feared.

“Strange. Fishing’s usually good after a storm. All sorts of things get stirred up.” Peterkin mumbled in a tone that said ‘You’re a good liar, but I know you’re talking shit, kid’. “You come across a wreck yesterday?”

John B feigned thinking for a second before denying. Peterkin held up a hand to mimic water-level.

“You’re skimming just above the surface, John B.” She sank her hand a little and drew circles with a finger. “Now, down here is foster care, juvie. Pretty big drop for a smart kid like you.” She raised her hand to eye level. “Up here is you and your little friends doing whatever you want. Outer Banks – or foster care on the mainland.”

John B sat down, Parker shifted. Peterkin was different from all the cops he had ever encountered, and he didn’t know what to make of it yet.

“You’re one inch above the surface, boy. If I was you, I’d start flappin’ my wings. Now, you sure, you didn’t come across a wreck yesterday?”

John B shook his head. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m sure.” Peterkin turned around to face Parker. “How about you? See anything unusual?”

Parker chuckled and shrugged. “I haven’t been here in years, how the hell would I know what’s unusual?” He gave her a look that made it clear she wouldn’t get a single word out of him. She gave him a look that said ‘Just you wait, I’m gonna figure you out soon enough’.

She looked back and forth between the two of them, and Parker imagined seeing a hint of worry in her dark eyes. “It’s better if you didn’t, you understand? I’m going to look the other way, as long as you stay out of the marsh.”

She started out the door, but turned around one last time, disgustedly eyeing the Château. “I got dogs living better than this, John B. You might wanna think about cleaning up. And you.” She pointed two fingers at Parker, mimicking watching him. “Remember, I’m gonna keep an eye on you, Cloud.”

And like that, she was gone. Parker couldn’t help but wonder how she still remembered his name. He definitely didn’t want to meet her again.

John B threw a can against the wall and put his head in his hands.

“She’s unusual.”, said Parker, but his cousin didn’t bother to look up towards him. He decided to walk outside and take a nap in one of the hammocks.

Parker didn’t know how long he had slept, but the next thing he knew were soft fingers brushing the hair out of his face and a melodic voice telling him to wake up.

“Leave me alone.” He mumbled and tried to turn away, forgetting that he was in a hammock and falling right out of it. Kiara’s laugh rang loud and clear.

“Oh, Parker, I tried to do it softly.” She smiled and crouched down beside him while he groaningly sat back up. He was shirtless, but when he looked up at the darkhaired girl, she did not only hold a hand out towards him, but also a crumpled piece of fabric.

“You brought be a shirt?” He asked confused, but she just laughed.

“It was lying around, and you get burned so easily. You’re lucky the hammock’s in a shadowy spot. Your sunburn’s already kinda nasty.” She gave his red shoulders a quick glance before helping him up. To his surprise, the piece of fabric turned out to be a light blue long sleeved shirt, which he just draped on but left unbuttoned. It even kinda fit his black shorts. Jokingly, he posed and wiggled his eyebrows.

“How do I look?”

“Fantastic.” Kiara giggled, and they walked over to where the others were, sitting down on a small couch. On the small table in front of it was a pair of bongos.

“Do you know how to play the bongos?” Kiara purred, and Parker shook his head.

“I know how to play the guitar, though.”

Her eyes lit up in delight. “You know how to play the guitar? That’s awesome! Listen, you teach me how to play the guitar, and I teach you the bongos. Deal?”

Parker smiled. “Deal.”

Their bongo session didn’t last very long, though, because John B appeared and announced that he was calling it off. “Peterkin said, if I stay out of the marsh, she’ll help me with DCS.”

“And you believed her?” JJ asked incredulously from his spot in the sun.

“Yes, JJ, I believed her.”

“An actual cop, John B. You believed a cop.” JJ looked at Parker. “What are you even good for if you just let him believe the cops, man?”

Parker shrugged. “I can’t decide what he believes in or not. You know, I’ve made the experience that people usually only learn from their mistakes once they start turning around and biting them in the ass.”

“Great support, Parker, thanks.” John B said sardonically. Then he turned back to JJ. “All I gotta do is stay out of the marsh for a few days, and she’ll help me out. It doesn’t help that your ass was the one shooting a gun.”

“You know what I should have done? Just let Topper drown your ass.” JJ retorted and Parker leaned closer to Kiara while the two of them kept bickering.

“Is his name really Topper?” He whispered, waiting for her to tell him it was some kind of stupid nickname.

She nodded her head. “That’s his actual name.”

“God, that guy just keeps getting worse and worse. First, he has frosted tips, then his name is Topper. What’s next? Golf?” Parker shuddered and Kiara and Pope giggled.

“They always, always win.” JJ said desperately and boxed a buoy hanging from the roof.

“Look, it’s okay!” Kiara shouted and he turned around.

“No, it’s not! They don’t want us to go down into the marsh. That means there’s something valuable down there, and you know it.”

“He does kinda have a point.” Parker mumbled and JJ looked at him gratefully.

“See, even Parker agrees, and he’s like – a total chicken.”

“Fuck you too, Maybank.”

“Okay – just listen. I understand why you don’t wanna go.” He pointed at Pope. “You’re the golden boy, you got way too much to risk.” He looked at Kiara. “And you, I mean, you’re already rich as fuck anyway. Why would you bother?”

Parker rolled his eyes at JJ, who now turned back towards John B. “But you and me, man? We got nothing to lose, we really don’t. And from what I can tell, neither does Parker anymore.”

Parker leaned back in the cushions of the couch. “Asshole.”

“But am I wrong? I know it didn’t use to be that way to you.” He said the last part to John B again.

“I don’t want to talk about this. I just don’t wanna talk about it.” John B mumbled and pushed past JJ, away from the group.

“So that’s just it?” JJ called after him. “John B, listen to me, I have a plan.”

He walked after John B and talked to him about scuba gear and rich kids not going to foster care, until John B finally agreed.

Parker rolled his eyes and leaned back, already seeing how this whole thing was going to blow up in their faces.

Fallen Hero 1.5 Episode 17: The Rise of Mastermind

Episode 16 Revenge: The Rules of Pain

Night – The Old Farm The structure towers over you, it stares at you, it taunts you, it dares you to go in. To see what is left. To see what you left behind. Its many eyes center on you, its mouth rests open to welcome you. The prodigal son. You accept its challenge. You stumble against some opened boxes, the guns and other objects they housed scattered all over, covered in dust. One box, you recognize, rests dented, the fabric pushed in from the body that fell on it. Your body. When you fought Slyther, one of his shots caused an explosion that sent you flying and you landed on this box. Your back was a mess after you escaped. Dried oil and gas cover the floor, burned stains decorate the walls jeeps and planes lay crumbled, its pieces all over the place. It seems what Trevor said was true. They abandoned the building almost immediately. Didn’t even bother to clean everything. Except the bodies. You stare at a dark stain on the ground where a certain body used to be. You should know, you killed him. Not that this surprises you, they could not leave the body of a general lying here to rot. Even if they should have.

You walk towards the corner of the hangar, where the door to the rest of the facility is. “Took you a long time to return, dog,” you hear a familiar voice. You turn around to find the good old general dressed in what was left of his clothes when you killed him. Shirtless, cuts all over, cyborg arm gone, and the stab wound on his neck covered in dried blood. You smirk. “There was no reason to. Why would I have returned here when there’s so much more outside?” He glares. “And now you are a threat to everything. To my country, to humanity. I was right. I was always right about all of you.” “No you were not,” Jane says as she walks pass you with a smirk equal to yours. “You were wrong.” She walks towards him with a sinister smile. “You attacked a charity event and stole all of its money, beat up the country’s chosen heroes and have murdered dozens in your wake. In what way am I wrong?” he spits. Jane, no, you, grin. “This,” she, you, say as you open your arms wide and make him look at all the destruction in the hangar. “All of this was your fault. Not mine. If you haven’t taken Alpha, we would have gotten away without any big problem. But you pushed her. She was my limit. My leash you could say.” You stand in front of him. He towers over you but that makes no difference, you are the bigger one here. “If Alpha were still alive, I would have never become this.” You chuckle. “Then again, even without her she still had a hold on me. For years I thought I could live up to her, be like her. I felt I owed her. But Heartbreak opened my eyes. Nothing really matters. In the end we are all just a bunch of fleshy things waiting to die.” You laugh. He glares. “And what of this exactly proves me wrong?” “Man you are dense. I already told you. Alpha was my leach. She would have stopped me. She would have rescued me from them and helped me, stopped me from giving up. But without her, I rose. You took my leash off and set me free! You!” you laugh again. “I exist because of you! Because of what you did! You took the only thing that could stop me. You made me! I am your monster!” You close the distance, your faces inches apart, your grin breaking your cheeks. “And now I will destroy what you loved so much! I will take over everything. Every street, every home, every building, every sector… every person, will belong to me. I will take over everything.” You stand back and turn around, looking at Jeremy. “Beginning with Los Diablos. I will cut the head of the snake and replace it with my own. And then I will expand. Expand far beyond anything anybody could ever imagine. And before anybody knows it, I will be the ruler of the west coast.” Your grin grows and you turn back to Slyther. “Then I might even plant some moles in your precious white house. Some puppet politicians. Change their minds to be loyal to me. And I will become the Mastermind behind this country. Maybe even the world.” You chuckle. You go back to Jeremy, to Mastermind, to you. “And then nobody will step on me. No one will have the power to ever hurt me again… because I will be the most powerful one around. The world will bow before me.” You grin again. “And you? You will rot in whatever grave you are, knowing that it was all. Your. Fault.” You turn around and walk away, ignoring his yells and insults. His time is long over. Yours is barely even beginning. The floor fills with blood, covering your boots as you walk deeper into the hangar and towards the door. Deeper into your past. Hallway – Old Farm Building – Night With each step you take, blood splashes on your feet and the sound echoes in the burning hallway. Bodies lay all over, sunken into the blood. Soldiers, scientists, and re-genes, all lay dead under the blood. These are all the people that died so you would escape, so you would have your life. What would they say if they saw you now? “Monster,” one of them hisses. “Monster,” another one repeats. “Monster,” repeats another, a re-gene this time. “You don’t deserve it,” they say. “You ruined it all.” Their voices bounce off of the walls, mixing into a chorus of endless accusations. But one. A body rises from the ground. Blood slips down like a waterfall giving away to blue skin. The orange tattoos shine in the darkness in a body covered in bloody cuts like they were the last time you saw them. “Kappa,” Jane, you, mutters. Jane, you, grins. “Sorry sweety, but I’m in no mood for talking.” “Good. Because I’m not interested in speaking with you either. I want to speak to Beta.” Jane, you, chuckle. “I am him.” “No you are not,” Kappa spits. “You’re a mask. A mask made to hide the real person.” Jane’s face, your face, contorts in anger. But you hold back. Jane disappears and you step forward. “There’s not much to talk about.” Kappa steps closer, a soft look on her. “I disagree.” “I am what I am. I’ve already fallen.” “You don’t have to give up. There is still time.” She puts a hand on your shoulder as you look on in her eyes. “Remember that mission, when we thought Alpha was gone?” “I wanted to go back and save her. I was so desperate.” “And what did I said?” Your eyes water again and the tears slip down. “There’s no true defeat, until you are dead.” “Do not let this thing control you,” she puts her hand on your armor. You hunch your head over to avoid looking at her. But a hand holds you and lifts your face again, forcing you to see her. You hug her and she hugs you in return. “You were my sister and I loved you like one and I’m so sorry for not saving you.” You pause, the moment drags, seconds pass, minutes pass. The fire goes out. The blood begins to dry up. “And nothing will ever erase that mistake.” You pull back from the hug, your muscles strain, your hands clasp together, tears roll down your cheeks in torrents. But they fail. You stare at her worried eyes and wet eyes. “Don’t.” You shake your head. “I’m sorry. But I’m dying already.” You let go of her hands and turn away. The fire grows bigger, the hallway fills with blood that reach your waist, and your armor tightens on you. The stench of blood and rot hit you but you are used to it. It’s a familiar smell, a welcoming one. You can hide in it, enjoy its company. It’s easier to get than it is to deny. You like that certainty. So you follow it, because at least, you know where this one heads. --- The hallways seem to have no end but you press on even when every joint, every bone, and every muscle scream at you to stop. The fire grows bigger and this time blocks your path. But you keep going, passing through the fire with ease. A current hits you and threatens to take you down and drown you in the blood. But you ground your feet and let it flow through you. It cannot stop you, nothing can. Nothing… As you push through you feel no more resistance. The wild fire no longer chases you and blood stays away, frozen as if it was hitting an invisible wall. You look around, trying to find whatever it is that has caused this. And you see the door. It looks just like it did then, clean and presentable. A smell that enters your nose and makes you feel like laying down comes from it. A sweet, so very sweet smell. Your heart beats faster, your breathing hastens, and sweat drips down. A voice screams at you to ignore it, to keep going, to keep walking towards your target, towards your goal. But the smell tempts you, it invites you, it wants you to enter. To at least experience that one more time. You enter. The smell only grows stronger as you enter and the door closes behind you. There are no beds, no instruments, no machines to erase your memories. It is all gone. Except the room at the end. A white light comes from it and despite its intensity it does not blind you. In fact you feel your eyesight get better as you walk closer to it. The smell grows stronger too and it becomes sweeter, so much sweeter as you get closer and closer until the light and smell give way for the figure you knew you was there. “Alpha,” you mutter. She sits there, but not empty and emotionless like she was that night. She smiles and beckons you to get closer. You take your helmet off, you fall on your knees in front of her and rest your hands over her legs as you look her in the eye. “It’s been a while,” she says with such a casual tone. No matter how horrible, how unrelenting, or how dangerous a situation was, she always kept her calm and smiled. “You mean it’s been a while since I spoke with a ghost.” You chuckle. She laughs. “Remember the last thing you told me?” You pause. You call back to the last time you spoke to her. You had almost come to grips with everything, her death, your new life as a hero, and your future. “I told you I had fallen in love again. And I didn’t know if it was right because it felt like I was replacing you.” “And I told you to keep going. That you could not hold your life back because of me. I wanted you to be happy.” You look at her as you feel the tears falling down again. You hug her. “I failed. I failed her and everyone. And now I’m hurting her and everyone around me and I can’t stop it.” She hugs you back. You feel her breath besides your ear. “There are things you can’t control. No amount of power will ever make you feel like before.” You pull her closer, tighten the hug, and bury your face in her shoulder as the tears fall down more. “I love you and I will never be able to forget you…” “…but you were wrong.” You pull away from her shoulder and look at her face, tears begin to slip down her cheeks. Your foreheads rest together. “Of all the right calls and choices you made, this was the wrong one. You should have told us. We would have helped you. I know you didn’t want to risk us but you should have done it all the same. You made the wrong call…” “…and you are wrong about me. I could stop it. I know I can. But I don’t want to.” You pull away. “What hurts me is not that I can’t get out. But that I want to stay.” She reaches out and holds your cheek. You rest it on her soft palm as you dream of the dozens of times she did the same in the past. “You think you do. But one day…” she closes the distance between the two of you. “…one day you’ll see that you too are wrong.” Her lips press with yours and you kiss back, a soft slow kiss that takes an eternity to let go of. But you do and so does she. “Take care. I will always wait for you.” Your hands hold her tight, your muscles strain against your efforts but you pull back. You abandon her light, the sweet smell and step out into the hallway where the blood now reaches your shoulders and the fire surrounds you. But they cannot stop you, nothing can stop you. Your armor tightens around your body, your breath slows down, your heartbeat takes it time. “Enough,” you whisper, not shout, because you do not have to. Those who feel the need to show off their power have none. You are not like them. You have true power and a mere command is enough for the blood and fire to retreat. You scan with your mind for any stray thoughts in the vicinity. There he is, on the rooftop. Zeta. It’s time to end this. You walk towards the closest stairs, the memories of this building still fresh. Fire and blood retreat with each step you take. As they should. Rooftop - Old Farm Building - Night You stand in front of the door to the roof. His thoughts are clear as day. That means he does not have his helmet on. He is easily readable, easily controllable. But you hold back. You look down at your helmet. Kill him. End him. You open the door. The air hits you in the face and it brings you back to all of those times you came here. All the shared hugs, all the conversations, all the banter, all the good times. Gone now. He sits at the edge looking out into the night as you used to do. His helmet to his left side. He knows you are there, you can tell, but he does not stand up. He does not turn. He keeps looking. You stand beside him to look at the forest. The breeze is soft, like a soft whisper. A memory comes, one night when Alpha stole a board game and made you all play it here in the roof. Kappa was completely lost, Zeta was to shy to make some moves that would have earned him a couple of victories, but you and Alpha were having the most fun. Whatever happened to that game you do not know. Alpha never mentioned it again, but you could tell she was not happy when you asked her. You smile a bit. “So I take it you won.” He does not turn to you. You do the same and keep looking at the forest. “Something like that.” He chuckles. “She’s still alive though. I didn’t killed her.” “So in the end, not even that worked.” He looks down. “I can’t beat you. I never will. You were always smarter.” “You didn’t beat me because I’m smarter.” He looks at you for the first time, confused. “Ever since that night, I have had nothing but nightmares and reminders of my failure. A day does not go by where I don’t think I failed somehow. I suspected something, you know. In the last year I saw Alpha change a bit. She was always a bit occupied or she had something to do or she was too tired to do anything.” You chuckle. “Alpha was never tired. She was always cheerful and happy around us. It was a mask, of course, but the last thing she wanted was for us to worry about her.” You turn to him. “But during those months leading up to that night she didn’t try to keep up her mask. And I noticed. I noticed, I knew something was wrong. But I didn’t do anything. I could have caught her in the act and demanded an explanation. As good a liar as she was she could not have lied to me if I confronted her.” You look down on your feet. “But I didn’t. For a time I tortured myself for it, thinking I deserved nothing of life. But I met people. People that made me feel I was worth something. I even grew to love someone again. I was ready to move on.” You raise your head to look at the horizon again. “Until Heartbreak. In that building, that day, everything I thought I had moved on from came back in a flood of blood and fire. It was too easy for them to make me want to throw myself out of that window even as I resisted. But Heartbreak didn’t killed me. They did.” You turn back to him, your heartbeat hastens. “They reeducated me.” His eyes widen. “I don’t know how many times, but they did. Each time however, I hid a part of myself inside a corner of my mind. And little by little my memories came back. It took a while, but eventually I came back and got away again. But even with all of my memories intact, I’m not sure I got out of there entirely. You didn’t beat me because you cannot break what’s already broken.” He looks at you, eyes watered. He looks down again and closes his eyes. “I met her once after everything. Alpha. We were assigned to the same mission. I tried to talk to her, to see if she remembered. But she was so different. Cold and distant. The only thing that mattered to her was the mission. Whoever she was, it wasn’t our Alpha.” You tighten your fist as you try to picture her that way, an impossibility to you. You can never imagine her without anything but a smile. Even a soft one. “I miss them. I want to return to those times when were together. All four of us.” “There is no turning back…” you mutter. He nods. “I know. And that’s why I was so angry. I wanted to blame something, anything. I couldn’t blame Alpha because she was gone. She was not the same person. I couldn’t blame Kappa because she was dead. I couldn’t blame Miss Trevor because she had nothing to do with it. Slyther was dead too. And the farm is…” “…the farm is unstoppable. I could only blame you. You who were out there, enjoying your pretty new life without a care in the world.” He laughs. “Shows what I knew. I’m an idiot. Always have been, always will be.” “You are not. You’re simply broken.” You turn back to the horizon. “We both are.” You turn around and walk away. “Wait,” he yells. You sense his desperation, his desire. “Please, Jeremy don’t go.” You stop but do not respond. “I’m sorry. For everything. Just don’t leave me alone. Please. Jeremy.” You do not respond. “Jeremy!” “Jeremy is dead.” You raise your helmet over your head. “My name…” you bring the helmet down and the air is sealed inside. What’s left of your visor shows up the HUD signaling the connection is complete. “…is Mastermind.” Your voice a mixture of Mastermind’s, Jane’s, and yours. This is who you are. Beta was the caterpillar, Jeremy the cocoon, and you are the result. The end of the road. The Mastermind of the new world. And Zeta is not a part of it. He does not want to be a part of it. He wants the past, for things to return to how they were. But they never will. And those who cling to the past will be swallowed by it. Only one way, one last thing to do to make sure your past does not swallow you. One last thing. Heartbreak. You do not turn. You do not stay. You already know what he will do. Only one step to end it all. You walk towards the door, down the stairs, and out of the building. All of their ghosts stand behind you, watching you. But you do not turn. They mattered to someone else. To Beta 010. To Jeremy Ortiz. But not to you. Not to Mastermind… Hideout Your crew does not question as you arrive, helmet broken and silent. They have an idea of what happened. You can tell by their thoughts. They know the Voice will not be a problem any longer. You stare at the mirror for a long time. At your tattoos. Not long ago you would have puked or fallen to the ground with panic at the mere sight of them. But not anymore. This is who you are. What you are. A weapon created for a purpose. An object. You smirk. And now this weapon will be at the top. So much for a worthless dog. You look at your helmet. This is not something that you can fix on your own. Going to have to take it to Mortum. She will enjoy hearing the story of this one. You bring out your cell phone and you find a message from the company dealing with your new purchase. It was time you needed a change in scenery so in the last month you bought a new building where to set your hideout. A bit luxurious if you may say so yourself. But if you are going to be at the top, you are going to have to begin looking like it. You are also going to have to hire a receptionist to make sure no one enters uninvited. The next couple of weeks are going to be a lot busier. Gym - day But before you do any of that you visit the gym. You are training but your real purpose is to see if someone comes. If she comes. And she does. You turn just in time to see Emily enter through the door. “Hey stranger. Where you’ve been?” you say as you walk to her. “Been a bit busy, sorry.” She smiles and hugs you. “Hero stuff I presume,” you whisper in her ear. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk to you about.”She invites you outside, away from anybody who tries to eavesdrop. “So what’s up?” She breaths in taking her time. “I’m leaving.” “What?” you fake confusion. “I’m leaving Los Diablos. I��ll be moving with my family to the east coast for a while.” “Is everything alright?” She sighs. “I need time to think. To cope. The last couple of months I’ve been…” she breaths again. “…obsessed with making things right by him. So much so I haven’t even thought of myself. I don’t sleep much, I barely even do anything else besides being a hero.” She chuckles. “I even missed my own birthday.” Tears slip down her cheeks. “I have to slow down. And I can’t do that here.” “It’s ok…” you say as you put a hand on her shoulder. “But I didn’t wanted to go without saying goodbye. Thanks for everything.” “You mean what little I contributed,” you laugh. She playfully punches your shoulder. “Shut up. You did good. Sometimes you just need a stranger.” “And why is that?” “Strangers don’t tell you how long you have had to get over it.” “I don’t know I’m sure I remember a few.” She laughs with you. “Ok, maybe not all of them. But seriously thanks. Even if it was just training and talking, you helped.” She hugs you. You hug back. “By the way when was your birthday?” She laughs. “About one month ago.” “And how old are you?” “Twenty four now.” “Well, happy late birthday. Wish I had a present though.” She dismisses it with a wave. “Thanks Jane. For everything. When I come back you’ll be the first to know.” Mortum’s lab “Ma chérie what happened?” she says as she takes a look at the destroyed mask. “Pissed off hero who had a vendetta. Don’t worry everything turned out just fine.” “I hope so. You keep coming back with this I might as well build you replacements.” “That would be for the best, now that I think about it.” If you keep having your helmet destroyed like that, you can’t just sit and wait for Mortum to fix it. Sometimes work will come one after the other. “If you can, build two more.” “You have money for that Ma chérie?” You nod. “You’re sure your boss is not going to punish you spending their money?” “Oh they’ll be delighted, trust me.” “Oh I trust you. Not them.” “That’s a pretty good idea,” you grin. Streets - day Argent sneaks around in her usual attire, covering most of herself. Otherwise dozens of people would spot her every day and begin asking her for stupid things like her autographs. Things she did not really had time for. Especially with Mastermind running around. She has not heard of them for a while now. And she is running out of ideas of what to do to find them or lure them. Interviews seemed like a pretty good way. Challenge them to come out and fight her. But they have yet to bite. A man stumbles against her and falls. “Damn lady, what are you, a wall?” She ignores him. “Hey, wait!” He runs up to her. “Leave me alone,” she tells him without turning. “I just want to talk.” He closes the distance. “Lady Argent.” She holds back the impulse to grab him by the throat smash him against the wall. She follows him to an alley and when he turns she notices that he is wearing a domino mask. “Hi. I’m the Handyman.” He extends his hand for a shake. “Not interested,” she says and turns around. “But I haven’t even said what I want.” “You know how many low level heroes want my help with their problems? I know.” “Wait!” He runs up to her and grabs her shoulder. She turns in an instant, grabs him by his shirt, and smashes him against the wall. “Don’t touch me. Are we clear?” “Yes, yes, alright. Just hear me out.” “Like I said. I’m not interested.” She lets him go and turns around. “Ok first of all, I’m not low level. Second this will interest you. It has to do with Mastermind.” She stops and turns slowly. “What?” “I want a crack at them too. And I have a plan for it.” She steps closer, sizing up her options. “Continue.” Los Diablos, the Millenial Span Bridge. Don’t. Don’t fall. There’s a low rumbling beneath your feet. Another earthquake, just significant enough to be felt in the steel structure you’re perched on. Just another busy morning in Los Diablos. Below you, the traffic flows over the Millennial Span bridge like a river of steel; if anyone notices the undulating surface of the road they certainly don’t slow down because of it. The bridge makes a perfect vantage point, not just because of the location, but because of it’s impressive stature. Unlike the smaller, plainer bridges of Los Diablos, this is a modern, gleaming span of steel, arcing. High across the fractured bay. It was build to be a symbol of the rebirth of Los Diablos, as a much for show as to connect the city. The Millennial Soan is a sign of confidence, that the city could build somethings strong enough to withstand both quakes and tidal waves. If the Golden Gate bridge had still been standing up in San Fransisco, they say this bridge would have dwarfed it. They probably added a few feet just to make sure they drove that point home. No cost is too high for bragging rights. Above you, the sky is a hazy brown, the smog colored by the rising sun. It’s been a bad couple of weeks, bad enough to raise calls of emission control in the media, but as always, nothing will come of it. Regulation is a dirty word in the Free Economic Zone that the West Coast has become, almost as dirty as taxation. You don’t mind. The smog lends a certain ambiance to the day. Things become muted. Indistinct. Muddled. You know that feeling. Zaza is leaning out the window, gun in hand, the high-tech rifle a dull black shadow against the dirty car. You can’t hear the shots, but you can see the van’s wheels explode, causing it to swerve wildly across the lanes before crashing into the side of the bridge, a hundred yards earlier than you had planned. Without hesitation, you jump off your perch, cape fluttering in the wind, a smile hidden underneath your helmet. The end…

How Much Does It Cost To Run A 1500 Watt Infrared Heater

How Much Do Infrared Heaters Cost To Run?

Cost to Run An Infrared Heater

Different States in the U.S. varies in costs per kilowatt-hour.

The national average is about 0.17 cents per kilowatt-hour.

1500 Watts = 1.5 kilowatts

To make it easy to compute:

10 Hours

10 Hours multiply 1 kilowatt-hour

0.17 cents per kilowatt-hour multiply by 10 hours

Equates to $1.7 for 10 hours

For 1 month $1.7 x 30 Days = $51 Dollars per month

In case you live in New York it might be .30 cents per kilowatt, will be about hundreds of dollars per month.

There are a lot of different types of heaters that you can buy, from electric space heaters, two gas space heaters.

Most people like the electric ones because they are very easy to use, and they are cheap to buy in the first place.

The other type of heater is the gas heater, but if you want to know how much do infrared heaters cost to run, you need to figure out how much energy each one uses, then multiply that by the number of hours in a year.

This will give you a rough idea as to how much it will cost you over a certain period of time, so you will be able to decide which type of heater to get.

How much do infrared heaters cost to run will depend on how much you use it. If you only use it during the cold months, and you put it on only when the weather is nice, then you might not end up spending a lot on your infrared heater.

However, if you use it all year around, you should be able to calculate how much do infrared heaters cost to run, and be able to figure out how much you will spend each month.

Then you can compare your calculations to the cost of running your normal heater.

There are also kits available that you can buy, that can help you determine how much do infrared heaters cost to run, and you can use these to save money if you are trying to decide which one to get.

Some infrared heaters come with automatic shut-off features, which can help you cut down on your heating costs too.

Some infrared heaters might even have a programmable thermostat, so that you can set your exact temperature and not waste any unnecessary energy.

How Much Does it Cost to Run a 1500 Watt Infrared Heater

The average homeowner would be hard pressed to know how much does it cost to run an infrared heater.

This is one of the most important pieces of equipment you will own in your home.

This device heats up air in a room, and when the room is cold, the unit sucks in the warm air from the outside.

This process continues as long as there is a source of heat. It is not uncommon to find homes that use this type of device for as little as five hundred dollars.

This is the best choice for a room that does not have adequate insulation or space heaters.

Another way to answer the question of how much does it cost to run a 1500 watt infrared heater is to figure out what type of unit you are looking for.

A 1500 Watt Heater Fan Heat Anywhere

A 1500 watt heater producing 5100 BTUs can heat 150 square feet for an hour or more.

The more BTUs the heater has, the faster it will heal.

The heat output of your heater will be affected by the type and design of the tank that holds the fuel, the BTU rating of the fuel and the BTU size you have chosen.

A two-inch-wide by two-foot-long radiant heat heater may only have a BTU rating of ten thousand, but will be able to heat fifteen square feet in fifteen minutes.

A convection heater may have a BTU rating of forty thousand but can heat one hundred square feet in forty minutes.

It’s always best to match the size of the space being heated with the heater you choose.

A small radiant heater for a bedroom or small bathroom might heat water or towels slowly, while a large convection heater for a family room or kitchen may quickly get the room warm.

Once you have made your decision, always read the manual carefully before using the unit. It will tell you the maximum BTUs it can safely generate and how long the unit should be left on before it shuts down.

A fifteen-minute burst of heat is ideal for most surfaces.

In addition, keep in mind that a fifteen-minute burst heat is much more powerful than a steady stream of heat.

Keep rooms warm by turning on only one burner during the entire time you are using the fan.

Turn on the fan after fifteen minutes of use, and then turn it off. A 1500 watt heater producing five hundred BTUs will heat a room rapidly and steadily.

What Does Infrared Have the Potential to Be the Most Cost Effective Heating System For Your Home?

Have you ever wondered just how cost effective heating can be for your home, if not infrared?

Infrared is an energy that have the same warming effect as radiating heat but unlike radiating heat which require space in order to produce radiant heat and must have a direct line of site to the radiant source, the heat produced by infrared has the potential to spread without the need of a direct line of site.

This makes it the most cost effective form of heating available, as the system does not require any duct work or cooling tower, two things that take up much space and add costs to the overall system.

If your current heating system involves a boiler which uses a liquid fuel such as natural gas or oil, then you are already on track for major long term costs.

Even if you are using a boiler which uses oil, you are still adding to your carbon footprint.

On top of all that, it takes energy to power a boiler, meaning that even with a low efficiency boiler you are still spending more than if you were using a more efficient alternative.

Infrared is the cleanest method available when it comes to heating your home, and also the most effective.

It also does not add to your carbon footprint, and in fact works better and is a lot quieter, so you are not waking up to a cacophony of noise every time the heating system turns on.

So, what should you look for when choosing a new system for your home?

Firstly look to see if you need a system with a thermostat.

This is especially important if you live in an area where the temperatures can vary greatly from season to season.

With a thermostat, you can set the heat source to a temperature that you prefer and then only turn it on when you desire it.

This is a great way to save money on energy costs and to reduce your carbon footprint.

The next thing to consider is what type of fuel is used in your current heating system – it pays to go for a fuel that is eco-friendly, but if you are not able to this may mean that you have to upgrade your system.

Will Have An Infrared Heater Be Better Contained In A Room That Doesn’t Have One?

If you are thinking of having an infrared heating system installed in your home, you should think about the idea of putting it inside a room that doesn’t have a high ceiling.

You may not realize it, but a large part of the energy in your home is used up heating the room up, and this could be better utilized by putting the heat inside.

If you install the heater in a low ceiling, you can expect it to use less energy than it would if you put it in a high ceiling space.

This will also help make the heating more effective for the entire home, because there is less heat loss from the rooms in the house.

If you are going to install an under the ceiling infrared heating system, you will need to take the temperature in the room into consideration when installing the components.

The heat emitted from your heater will rise as the ceiling rises. So you will want to make sure that you have the proper insulation installed to keep the heat where it needs to be.

If you are installing the system under the ceiling, you should also consider installing the components near the walls so that you can get better distribution of heat.

Since you are going to be using a lot of this type of heat inside the house, you will want to make sure that you have plenty of windows around the room.

This will allow you to get natural air flow into the room, which can help to reduce the amount of heat that escapes.

If the windows aren’t spaced properly, however, the heat will escape as well.

You can easily learn more tips on how you can improve the efficiency of your current system, or you can choose to install a brand new system. Either way, making sure that your home is kept warm and comfortable at all times is going to be important.

How To Locate The Infrared Heater In An Area With A Low Ceiling Or Wall Insulation

Infrared Heaters can be found in many places such as in your home, a car garage, or even in a utility room.

The best way to locate a Locate the infrared heater in an area with a room with low airflow is to turn on the main power switch in your home and make sure that the area you wish to heat has no other electronics or appliances plugged in or running.

Then open up the main door of your garage or utility room so that you are able to see the area that you wish to heat.

If you wish to heat an entire small room then you may want to place the Locate the infrared heater in an area with a room with low flooring or wall insulation.

This way you will be able to cover or at least partially cover the entire room with the heat emitted by the heater.

You must however understand that even in areas with low ceiling heating or wall insulation you must consider the location of your Locate the infrared heater in an area with a room with low air flow.

In this type of situation you would need to install ceiling fans or ductwork in order to move the warm air into the room.

When you use the Locate the infrared heater in an area with a room with low air flow you will not be getting very much heat from the heater.

The reason for this is because the infrared radiation from the heater has a rather long wavelength. In order to receive any heat from the infrared radiation you will need to place your space heater somewhere between one and two hundred feet away.

Once you have placed your infrared heater in an area with a room with low air flow, you will then need to place the entire room with the heaters in one quadrant.

Storage Heaters Saves in Running Costs by Utilizing Off Peak Energy Tariffs

Storage Heaters is used mainly during cold months when power outages are common.

Off-peak electricity is used to charge a home’s electrical consumption when the demand for electricity is high.

Although most homes use on-peak power due to its lower price, this kind of tariff is beneficial to homeowners because it also helps them save in running costs.

When the utility company decides to cut down their usual supply of energy, this kind of heater will be the first thing that you should consider since it will be able to absorb the sudden drop in energy supply.

Compared to standard heaters and fireplaces, this unit is more efficient because it uses a fraction of energy when heating.

Because of this, the unit prices are cheaper compared to other similar heating units.

Tips to Use While Using Oil Filled Heaters

You need to be extra careful if you are going to install a gas oil filled heater.

The initial step is to make sure that you are not under any influence of the weather.

If it’s winter then you should make sure that it is in an open place, like your garage or something similar, when you are going to install it.

When you are installing a heater, you should make sure that there is no one around as the warm air could escape.

Another tip to keep in mind is to turn the thermostat of the heater down while you are in the room.

They will have the capacity to heat the entire room and when they are overloaded with warm air they will not work properly.

They might keep on working but at the end you might not find any warmth inside the room.

When you are using a gas oil filled heater, it’s best to install them in a room where you will be able to stay for the entire duration of the day because the heat will escape during the night.

Another benefit that you can get from this heater is that they are known to give out less radiation than other kinds of heaters.

How Do Low Voltage Heaters Work?

Infrared Heaters have been a mainstay of heating systems for decades.

They are available in two different types: a stand alone heater, or a built in system.

In contrast, most stand alone heaters, with the same maximum watts, use at least a medium level of Infrared technology with higher than average energy efficiency.

Stand alone models are available in three main technologies, namely Cool Roof, Medium/High Airflow, and High Efficiency Particulate Air.

In addition, there are many different accessories available since infrared technology is becoming more widespread and popular.

Infrared Heaters provide a great alternative to forced air heating, as they are a safe, clean, and effective way to keep your home or office warm.

Infrared Heating True Efficiency of the Sun’s Heat Energy

A lot of people are wondering about the true efficiency of the sun radiant heat energy.

Most of them think that it is very costly and not affordable for many. But the reality is that it is the best kind of heating that you can use for your home.

You will be able to save money on your heating bills if you install this system in your home.

The good thing about it is that it is the most efficient way of heating in comparison to all the other ways that were used in the past. It has been proved by a lot of people around the world that the sun heating systems can really give you the heating that you need without having to spend a lot.

Many people are using the infrared heating systems for their homes because it is easy to install, efficient and able to provide a comfortable home that anyone would want to stay in.

This system uses very little amount of electricity from your home and will still work properly even if your main home room is a little chilly.

Low Wattage Requirements Of Infrared LED Compared To Convection Heaters

People often ask, what are the specifications of low wattage infrared heaters when they are asked which is better for them – convection heaters or infrared heaters?

They may also ask, is it safe to use an infrared heater?

If they are asked these kinds of questions, usually they are told that there is no difference between the two.

This is because infrared heaters are safer than convection heaters.

The problem is that people are so focused on the safety features of a heater, they completely forget about other important aspects. This article will compare convection and infrared heaters and discuss their pros and cons.

When we are comparing the low wattage requirements of infrared compared to convection heaters, we need to consider factors such as the temperature outside, the size of the space that needs heated and the wattage required for the heater.

In order to determine how much power is needed for each type of heater, you need to use a calculation that involves temperatures outside and the estimated BTUs for each type of heater.

Heating a House With Infrared Panels

One of the growing trends in the construction industry is to use Infrared panels to heat an entire home.

This is especially suitable when considering that most homes are not suited for traditional heating systems and many families are finding it difficult to deal with rising fuel bills, leading to increased use of home energy in the form of solar power.

Infrared panels can also heat a whole property.

They do not need to only be for temporary extensions or to top up faulty central heating; they can be used permanently as a method of heating.

In fact, many consumers who buy new infrared heaters usually use them as replacements for the failed system installed, be it central heating or domestic storage heat.

There are two main types of Infrared Heaters, portable and permanent.

Portable infrared panels can be brought around the house or office on a small fan motor.

The same technology that enables static electricity to pass through it also allows the heated air to spread around a room quickly and efficiently, with very little wasted heat.

When it comes to installing an Infrared Heater, there are several options available.

An Infrared Heater can be very efficient and versatile means of heating, especially in extreme climates where traditional methods may not be enough to meet the needs of a household.

Do Electric Infrared Heaters Uses Fossil Fuels?

Infrared heaters are used to warm up the entire room by radiating infrared energy into the air.

The infrared waves are made to penetrate the air in front of the radiator thereby heating up that part of the air.

Although the total amount of the heat is not changed due to this process it does cause a change in the temperature of the surrounding air.

The infrared waves penetrate the air at a very high frequency thus penetrating deep into the layers of the air.

The heat energy is absorbed by the air in the surrounding rooms and is then radiated outwards in all directions.

Infrared rays can also be used to heat water as well as air.

The infrared heaters that are most often used for water heating are those that are heated by water but they can also be heated by air.

When the air is heated by infrared radiation it is referred to as radiant heat.

A radiant heater is one that produces heat by using radiant energy. This type of heater is a type of convection heater.

An infrared heater does not cause air pollution since the emitted waves cannot be seen by the naked eye.

In fact they are only about 100 feet away from the area that they are heating.

They do not cause carbon monoxide to build up because their emissions are not very hot. They are however efficient in heating a large room.

Is Heaters Safe to Leave On Overnight?

Infrared heaters have been available for many years and although some people may find them a bit of an eyesore, they are very safe to leave on overnight.

They have been designed to be very easy to use, so you do not need any specialist electrical skills to use them either.

They also have a thermostat built into them, which gives them the ability to regulate the heat to suit your needs.

They are also very easy to maintain.

You simply need to wipe them down after each use and then store them safely inside the heating unit.

They are very efficient and save you money on your heating bills and are a great way to heat your home without using any other source of heat.

If you are thinking of buying one of these fantastic devices I urge you to do so. They are affordable and will save you money and make your home even more comfortable.

Are 24" gaming monitors like the Dell S2422HG a good fit for you? They offer several features making them best for serious gaming, especially FPS games when you need to see all the action at once, but perhaps not the best for productivity.

Dell's new S2422HG is a curved gaming monitor that packs impressive specs, features and looks, but with its more premium price tag, does it offer enough to stand out from competing 24" models?

youtube

Many gaming monitors either tend to be too "gamey" with their red accents and ostentation branding, or rather cheap and bland with thick bezels and minimal adjustments. The Dell S2422HG takes a rather unique direction offering users a sleek design and great height and tilt adjustments, without feeling over the top or looking out of place.

Dimensions & Weight

As life resumes and we can go back to playing games together in person, fans of LAN parties will appreciate the portability and size of this slim monitor. The monitor itself weighs less than 10 pounds with its stand. If you keep the original packaging and box it came in—which is probably the easiest and safest way to pack and travel with this—you're looking at a total weight of about 16 lbs.

With Stand: 21w x 7.5d x 13.8h inches; weight 9.4 lbs.

Without Stand: 21w x 3.5d x 3.5h inches; weight 7.4 lbs.

Connectivity & Controls

Similar to most other monitors, the Dell S2422HG houses its ports directly behind the screen and facing downwards. There is plenty of space between the monitor's stand and the ports allowing you to easily attach and remove cables without needing to flip the monitor around.

In the box, you only get a single DisplayPort cable. Unfortunately, if your PC or device only supports HDMI, as is most common, you'll need to provide your own HDMI 2.0 compatible cable. With this monitor carrying a higher price tag to competing models, this is one area I would have expected Dell to go the extra step to include a wide selection of cables to ensure it is compatible for all users out of the box.

OSD & Customization

The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by a joystick and a series of buttons running vertically behind the right side of the panel.

They take a bit to get used to as you can't easily see or identify which buttons you're hitting. When the OSD menu is up, there are visual indicators on the right-hand side of the screen which help you navigate more easily. I still would have preferred if all the buttons were on the right side of the panel where I can physically see them, as opposed to hidden behind.

Dell includes a handful of gaming features like Dark Stabilizer to enhance visibility in dark areas as well as an FPS Counter if you prefer those figures directly reported from the monitor rather than in-game or 3rd party software.

AC Input

Thankfully the power inverter is built into the monitor and you only need to plug a single cable to power it up. No additional power supplies need to be hidden away. The monitor is relatively efficient consuming only about 0.2w in standby and a max of 37w when in use.

HDMI 2.0 (x2)

If you do not have a compatible device that supports Displayport, you can still connect using the other two HDMI 2.0 ports. Again, it's a bit odd that an HDMI cable is not included with your purchase.

Displayport 1.2a

While this Displayport does have more bandwidth than its HDMI ports, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference or benefit to using it as both support this monitor's max resolution of 1080p 165Hz.

3.5mm Headphone Jack

The Dell S2422HG doesn't have built-in speakers, but you can still output your audio over HDMI or Displayport from your PC or Device and then use the 3.5mm jack to connect to external speakers or headphones.

Still, it would have been nice to have speakers included here. Although built-in speakers are notoriously bad, they can be especially convenient to have when you want to minimize your desk clutter or if you're frequently taking this on the go and don't want to pack speakers too.

Screen Size & Viewing Angle

Contrary to other monitors and screens designed primarily for content consumption or multi-tasking, bigger isn't always better when it comes to gaming. While larger gaming monitors do exist, they are typically much more expensive, and for more serious gamers, can come with a handful of disadvantages.

The Dell S2422HG is a 23.6" screen with a wide 178-degree viewing angle. These ≈24" monitors make it easier for gamers to see all the on-screen action without needing to turn their heads from side to side, helping you more quickly see that enemy sneaking up behind you compared to a larger monitor which could have enemies outside of your peripheral vision.

The S2422HG takes this a step further with its 1500R curved screen which is supposed to make the whole experience feel slightly more immersive. Whether or not you'll really notice that curved screen, though, will vary.

Being just a 24" monitor, I didn't notice too much of an advantage. Larger screens like my 49" Samsung Ultra-wide definitely benefit from it, but with this Dell, I frequently forgot it was curved.

Honestly, the biggest benefit of the curved-screen on this smaller monitor might just be that it helps it look more sleek and premium on your desk. Aside from that, I don't think this is a must-have feature for most.

Design, Stand, and Mounting

The smaller footprint of 24" monitors is another advantage compared to larger options. Larger monitors usually need bigger and clunkier stands which in turn take up more desk space, possibly impeding on mouse pad real estate.

The monitors' polygonal-shaped stand is pretty compact compared to some other competing models which have a wider V-shaped design. This helps it fit on smaller surfaces more easily as its stand needs less space. The stand offers tilt adjustments between -5° and 21°, with 100mm of height travel.

If you're a fan of wall mounting, the stand is easily removable with its quick-release back, revealing the 100 x 100mm VESA mount. On the back, you'll also find vents that allow for passive air cooling.

Response Time & Panel

When it comes to gaming monitors, especially for competitive E-Sports titles, 24" models with high refresh rates and low response times are most popular. Gaming monitors typically are at least 120Hz and have a response time of 5ms or less.

The Dell S2422HG with a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT) and 4ms GtG (Gray to Gray) response time. This is great for reducing motion blur and in competitive games, allows you to keep up with the action. Adaptive-Sync is supported including AMD FreeSync Premium with a 48 – 165Hz Vertical Refresh Rate.

One thing I noticed, or rather didn't, is any perceivable difference between 120hz and 165hz when gaming. If you're on a tighter budget and can't find a 165hz monitor in your price range, don't hesitate to look for 120hz models.

The screen has a matte anti-glare surface and features a 3000:1 static contrast ratio and 8-bit color. The backlight is a flicker-free WLED with 99% sRGB gamut coverage and a 350 cd/m² typical maximum luminance. HDR is not supported with this model, however.

When you're gaming at night or need to relax your eyes from longer sessions, a Low Blue Light (LBL) setting called ‘ComfortView' can be enabled.

Do You Need 4k?

Resolution is a bit of a hot debate. Does higher resolution always translate to a better gaming experience? 4k gaming monitors might seem like a no-brainer, but just as with increasing their physical size, increasing resolution also has its drawbacks.

For starters, you might not actually be able to easily perceive the resolution difference if you're sitting at a distance of about 2 feet from the screen, which is pretty common for a monitor this size. Even if you could, 4k gaming is still very demanding on even the most specced out PCs. You'll usually either have to compromise on framerate or turn down the graphical quality. Competitive gamers usually turn their settings to the lowest and really only care about getting the highest FPS.

Value vs Style

If you're not too keen on multi-tasking, this monitor has all the specs and customizations that make it a great choice for gaming and other casual tasks.

Beyond that, it has a minimal yet very sleek design that doesn't scream "gaming" and can actually fit nicely in most spaces. That said, there are many competing models with similar if not better specs that cost less, but perhaps don't have the same refined and mature design as the Dell.

If you're looking for a gaming monitor with these specs and don't mind having a curved screen that's more for style than practicality, the Dell S2422HG is worth checking out.

Report on Cnidarians from Pulicat Lagoon- Juniper Publishers

Abstract

During our routine ecological survey conducted at Pulicat lagoon, the most diverse coelenterate belonging to 2 classes of scyphozoa (Catostylus mosaicus, Acromitus flagellates, Cyanea capillata, Chrysaora hysoscella) and hydrozoa (Porpita porpita) 4 families (Catostylidae, Cyaneidae, Pelagiidae and Porpitidae) and 5 species were recorded. The Catostylus mosaicus was dominated at the Barmouth. A large amount of species occurred during the monsoon season 2013 to 2015. Cnidarians were washed ashore. During the study, the salinity levels were maximum value observed was 41 while the minimum value obtained was 38ppt. Hence, it is necessary to focus on conservation, monitoring and management strategies in places of Pulicat lagoon.

Keywords: Jelly fish; Pulicat lagoon; Distribution

Introduction

Jelly fishes (Cnidaria), are well known bioindicators [1]. The increasing frequency of jelly fish outbreak events occurrence in marine and estuarine regions [2,3] suggested that rise in jellyfish abundance is just an up-phase of oscillations which occurred due to various factors. Worldwide Cnidaria 10,211 species and 752 species in the Mediterranean Sea, inhabiting entirely aquatic and mostly marine environments has reported [4,5]. In worldwide cnidarian class of Hydrozoa 3,643 species and Scyphozoa 228 species has reported [6]. Cnidarians species in Indian waters totally 842+, consisting of 212 species of class Hydrozoans and 25 species of scyphozoans were reported [7]. The Catostylus mosaicus has a long-lived medusa and historically has been considered a highly dispersive zooplankter, yet it has a marked phylogeographic discontinuity [8].

Pulicat is a small seashore township which offers an invigorating and thrilling experience of expedition. It is the second leading brackish lagoon in India-covering a total area of 720sqkm of which 84% comes in Andhra Pradesh and 16% in Tamil Nadu. In the present study, were improved our knowledge about the jellyfish diversity and distribution of Pulicat Lagoon were improved with meticulous observations and recordings.

Materials and Methods

Sample collection

Jelly fishes were collected using a120|im plankton net and preserved in 5% formalin at five sampling stations, namely Barmouth, Kunankuppam, Light house kuppam, Sattankuppam and Jameelabad were selected at Pulicat lagoon. The samples were brought to the laboratory and identified using authentic manual. Water sampling was done during 2013- 2015 period.

Physico-chemical analysis

Surface water was collected from the lagoon and stored in Polyethylene Terephthalate bottles. The bottles were rinsed using the sampling water and the water was collected with minimal disturbances in and around the collection points. The collected samples were then labelled and transferred to our laboratory for further analysis. Standard methods given by American public health association were utilized to analyze the samples [9]. The lagoon water quality was assessed by characterizing physicochemical parameters like pH, Temperature, Total Dissolved Solids, Dissolved Oxygen, Salinity, Carbonate, Bicarbonate, Nitrites and Phosphates.

Statistical analysis

The Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Simpson's index and Margalef's richness index were calculated for estimating cnidarians diversity. The data were subjected to diversity indices analysis using PAST Software, Margalef index, Shannon Diversity Index "H", Simpson Diversity Index"D" and Pielou Evenness Index "J"

Result and Discussion

Diversity of the coelenterate from Pulicat lagoon includes 2 classes, 4 families, 3 orders and 5 species (Table 1). The abundance of C. mosaicus and other species less numbers were estimated by stratified random sampling within the survey areas (Figure 1). The family Cyaneidae of Cyanea capillata were observed at Barmouth, Kunankuppam and family of Pelagiidae Chrysaora hysoscella were observed at Barmouth (Figure 1). The C. mosaicus, Acromitus flagellates and Porpita porpita species were spotted during the monsoon season of 2013 and 2015 and Chrysaora hysoscella species was recorded in 2013 summer (Table 2). Also an unidentified jelly fish included by him and not reported due to non-availability of identification manuals (Figure 2). Margalef index was minimum 0 at Light house kuppam, Sattan kuppam and Jameelabad, a maximum of 0.962 was recorded in the Barmouth (Table 3). Margalef Diversity Index "Ma" has no limit value and it showed variation depending upon the number of species. Thus, it is used for comparison between the sites. The present observed value was 7.78 which was also at the lower limit of the scale. Simson index minimum of 0 at the station at Sattankuppam and maximum of 1.600 at the Kunankuppam were noticed (Table 3). Simpson index closer to1 indicated nearly satisfactory diversity status of the Pulicat lagoon. Shanon winner index was a minimum of 0 in Light house kuppam, Sattankuppam and Jameelabad and maximum of 0.900 at Barmouth (S1) (Table 3). Diversity indices of jelly fish communities showed that Shannon index value (H) was 0.50, which was not at all satisfactory as 'H' value above 3 indicates better balance and stable habitat condition. Pielou index 'J' showed that jellyfish species were found a minimum of 0 at the Light house kuppam Sattankuppam and Jameelabad and maximum of 0.819 at Barmouth (Table 3). Pielou index 'J' showed that jelly fish species reported in the studied area was almost evenly distributed because our calculated values were closer to 1. Catostylidae family is found along the entire eastern coast of Australia, from the Torres Strait in the north to Port Phillip in the south [10]. C. mosaicus is an inshore species, sometimes occurring in bays and estuaries in very large numbers [10] and tolerates a wide range of temperature (10-28 °C) and salinity (12-39ppt) [11]. A. flagellatus pointed with smooth to finely granulated surface (Figure 1). Mouth-arms with basal regions joined by membrane, tapering to blunt point. Their habitat is coastal, sometimes brackish waters too. Distribution is along West Indian Ocean to central Pacific Ocean [12].

(+) present, (-) absent.

C. capillata is one of the largest jellyfish in the world. It gains its common name from the characteristic mass of long, thin, hair-like tentacles found hanging from the underside of the bell-shaped body. The C. capillata has a global distribution [13] although it is mostly found in the northern hemisphere in the North Atlantic, North Pacific and North Sea. C. hysoscella has a saucer-shaped bell (Figure 1), with 32 semi-circular lobes around the fringe, each one with a brown spot [14]. The mouth, the only opening to the exterior, is located on the centre of the underside of the bell, and is surrounded by 4 arms. There are also 24 tentacles around the edge of the bell, grouped in threes. The colour of this jellyfish varies, with a variable level of brown pigment [14]. These species were commonly widespread. P. porpita (Figure 1) marks the presence of a disc in the middle region which helps. The organism to float in the water and is golden brown in colour measuring around 1.5 inches width. The mouth present below the float is to engulf prey along with water and its ingredients. The second part is known as hydroid colony which posses bright coloured tentacles. With the help of these tentacles and the float it moves along and across the water body One can observe and admire the blue buttons for their beautiful colour but better to avoid contact which causes skin irritation, above all it is one of the good suppliers of bioactive compounds from the sea. In India [15] has reported in the Saurashtra Coast of Gujarat. In Tamil Nadu [16] in the Adirampattinam Mangrove Region.

The average values of water quality parameters in the study lagoon were shown in (Figure 3). During the study, the DO levels observed were maximum value of 2.912mg/l while the minimum value obtained was 2.098mg/l. The gradual reduction of dissolved oxygen levels implies deteriorating quality of the lake waters and its increasing unsuitability for industrial and domestic usage. The bicarbonate minimum 32.48mg/l at Jameelabad and maximum 38.48mg/l at Barmouth. The high amounts of nitrates and phosphates in the water bodies indicate higher levels of eutrophication [17]. These nitrates and phosphates prove to be the key to excessive algal blooms in the water bodies, thus increasing the pollution levels. The major source of phosphates is traced back to detergents and soaps used for household cleaning, while the nitrates are found as a result of discharge of untreated domestic sewage water. The algal blooms can be observed at values starting from 0.03 mg/l of phosphates in the water [18]. In conclusion, as a holistic approach to understanding and maintaining jelly fish diversity and water quality in semi-enclosed marine waters, is essential to study the animals found within the marine in relation to the hydrodynamics of the waters [19-21]. A good understanding of these can help to improve the management of cnidarians, in relation to maintaining a healthy ecological balance.

Geely Haoyue: VX11 SUV named – 1.5T & 1.8T mills?

Geely has just officially announced the name for the VX11 SUV, and the upcoming three-row SUV is called the Haoyue, meaning heroic or luxury SUV. Rumours are rife with this one, especially regarding engine options, but Geely said it will go on sale later this year, which means more details will surface very soon.

Several news outlets suggest that the Haoyue will be powered by the existing 1.5 litre and 1.8 litre turbocharged engines. The former is a three-cylinder direct injection petrol unit, which we know is capable of producing 174 hp and 255 Nm of torque, and is mated to either a six-speed automatic or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The larger 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine should also feature direct injection, and is likely to be the latest unit which meets China’s National 6B emission standards. The engine, which made its debut with the Boyue Pro, makes 181 hp and 300 Nm of torque (15 Nm increase from before), and it drops the older six-speed automatic gearbox for a seven-speed wet dual-clutch unit. The DCT, Geely says, has an efficiency of 97%, helping reduce fuel consumption by one litre per 100 km compared to the original Boyue.

Moving past that, the SUV is actually quite sizeable, measuring 4,835 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, 1,780 mm tall, and has a wheelbase of 2,815 mm. That puts it close to the Mazda CX-8 (also a three-row SUV), which measures 4,900 mm long (+65 mm), 1,840 mm wide (-60 mm), 1,730 mm tall (-50 mm), and with a wheelbase of 2,930 mm (+115 mm).

In terms of figures, that’s about all we know regarding the Geely Haoyue, for now. For design, the SUV looks rather imposing from the three-quarter angle, with short front and rear overhangs and a strong, muscular profile. There is plastic cladding all around the vehicle to emphasise ruggedness, but not garish in any way. Plus, there are skid plates to help reduce visual bulk, too.

Up front, the Haoyue wears the automaker’s signature Expanding Cosmos grille, and interestingly it features a black Geely badge and three chrome surrounds to give it a “ripple effect,” of sorts. Notable bits include LED headlights with LED DRLs, raised chamfered bonnet, prominent lower front bumper with integrated intakes, as well as stacked-LED fog lamps positioned within the huge housing. It sits on 19-inch dual-tone wheels, shod with 225/55 profile Kumho Crugen tyres.

Elsewhere, the Haoyue’s wing mirrors are positioned on the doors, and the window surrounds are fully finished in chrome. The grey variant above features aluminium roof rails, but it’s unclear if they’re functional or purely for cosmetic appeal.

Behind, the tailgate sports a surprisingly clean design, but note that photos of the car in white were used for patent filings. In any case, expect the production model to look more or less the same, replete with slim LED tail lights and an adjoining chrome strip. Like the way the Haoyue looks? Watch this space for more updates!

Installation Noritz Boiler

Here's all the piping complete on the Noritz NRCB boiler. I only had 23 total man-hours invested to do everything sans the electrical connections to the Grundfos Alpha2 recirculation pumps. Stop and think for a moment how many MORE hours would have been involved if I had soldered all those copper fittings you see. Watch the video just below to see how those joints were completed in SECONDS!

Installation Noritz Boiler - NRCB Combi Boiler

I had the great pleasure to install a Noritz NRCB Combi Boiler in my daughter's new home in November of 2019.

It's important to realize I've been a master plumber since age 29 and have done all the aspects of working with copper tubing and black iron pipe for decades. You just combine these simple skills to complete the task.

CLICK or TAP HERE to discover why I decided to use the Nortiz NRCB Combi Boiler.

Allow me to share the story using these photos. But first, watch this short video to witness the magic of newer technology revolving around how to create leak-proof copper connections in seconds. There's a rubber o-ring inside the raised ridge on the fitting. The tool crimps ever so slightly the fitting and the tubing squeezing the o-ring tightly against the tubing. You can see an o-ring right below inside the open end of the fitting:

This is what the tiny closet looked liked the morning I started. The closet is but 3 feet wide and about 8 feet deep.

The first step for me was to install the isolation valves. You need to get this done so you know the height of the primary boiler loop. The pipes coming out of the boiler were 1 inch but the valve reduces down to 3/4 inch. I went back up to 1 inch to connect to the primary loop. There's no noticeable flow loss in that short distance. It's much like using a 5/8-inch water meter on a 3/4-inch water main coming into a home.

Here's the primary supply/return loop being built. That's 1.5-inch type L copper. It's vitally important that the tees for the two isolation valves be no more than 12 inches apart. The closer the better within reason. This is easy to overlook in the installation instructions as it shows up just as a small notation in an illustration. In my case, the center-to-center measurement for the tees was 7.5 inches. I haven't cut in the second tee yet because it had to be figured out using two 1-inch press copper 90s.

Here's the return header installed. It's a tight fit as the domestic hot water lines are showing up on the left side of the photo. There are seven zones in this house so the last short 3/4-inch nipple welded to the header on the left will go unused. I just put a 3/4-inch black iron cap on it. If I could go back in time, I would have raised this header up another 5 inches to minimize conflicts between the boiler drains you'll soon see and the Grundfos Alpha2 recirculation pumps.

The supply header is now installed and it's forward of the return header by about 4 or 5 inches. You need to make sure it's out far enough so the expansion tank doesn't hit the wall. You'll see that in a bit. If you don't know how these headers work, just think of your own vascular system in your body. Your heart is the boiler and the supply header here represents the core arteries where blood gets sent out to the different parts of your body. The return header represents your core veins that send your blood back to your heart to get a fresh boost of oxygen. In the case of the Noritz NRCB boiler, the return water gets reheated and sent back to the supply header. For every gallon of water pumped by the Alpha2 pumps out to the heating zones, a similar gallon of water is sent back into the boiler to get reheated.

You're looking at the shut-off valves and boiler drains on the return header. It makes sense to install these first so you're not blocked by the Grundfos Alpha2 recirculation pumps. You'll discover very quickly that you need to offset the nipples rising off the headers as you don't want the pumps directly in front of the shut-off valves and boiler drains on the return header. The supply header is very heavy once the pumps are installed and you must provide sturdy brackets bolted to the wall or use threaded rods to suspend the header from the ceiling. Note the green air scoop that's on the right side of the supply header. This simple device removes air that is released from the water in the boiler. Air is dissolved in the supply water that enters the boiler. If air gets into the heating loop pipe, it creates an airlock and the water from the Alpha2 pumps doesn't recirculate.

This shot gives you how tight it is in this closet. I'm here to tell you that you want MUCH MORE SPACE. Believe me, you'll never regret having a room that's 10 x 12 to put all your stuff in. That way you can space out the supply and return headers for a much-less painful installation.

The first three Grundfos Alpha2 pumps are installed. The 3/4-inch Uponor hePex supply and return lines that extend out to the Uponor manifolds are connected. These manifolds distribute the hot water to all the individual loops in each zone. We installed about 6,000 feet of 1/2-inch Uponor hePex to the underside of all the floors.

There's still a little bit of work to do, but you can see how everything fits together here in this small closet. The burgundy boxes are the computer controls for the Alpha2 pumps. Power will come out of each of the boxes and extend to each Alpha2 pump. The wiring is really not tough, although at first, it seems intimidating. You just have to read the instructions!

Blot

Here's a peek at some of the 6,000 feet of Uponor hePex that's going to keep the floors in the house toasty warm. You bet I'm happy as this was a complex job that we completed using the three Ds: diligence, discipline, and determination.

2020 Porsche 911 Deep Dive: What You Need to Know About the 992

Surprise, surprise—the all-new 992-generation 2020 Porsche 911 looks fairly similar to the outgoing 991/991.2. But while this sort of evolutionary aesthetic approach has been the case for generations of 911s now, a new iteration of Porsche’s icon almost always brings more comprehensive updates underneath the skin, and we just spent a few days in Stuttgart to dive deep into the technology and engineering that make the 992 special.

The 991 Is Dead, Long Live (Some of) the 991. Of course, 991 DNA can be found in the 992. Along with a shared wheelbase and general structural design, the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six carries over from the 991. Look back at the history of the 911, though, and these sort of parallels are nothing new: Since the late 1970s, 911 generations generally come in pairs. The 911 SC (1978–1983) and 3.2 Carrera (1984–1989) were similar, as were the 964 (1989–1994) and 993 (1994–1998) and the 996 (1999–2004) and 997 (2005–2012).

Where the 992 makes a major departure from the outgoing generation, though, is in its wealth of technological and production-related improvements, along with some clever forward-thinking engineering that preps the 911 for hybridization.

Bodybuilding. Unsurprisingly, the newer, safer, and more technologically complex 911 is heavier than its predecessor, the Carrera S by 163 pounds and the Carrera 4S by 158. Still, Porsche worked hard to minimize the bloat, cutting the use of steel from 63 percent to 15 percent. Advances in manufacturing resulted in more efficient and lightweight components, including a 26-pound weight savings in the aluminum exterior panels. This new material makeup is augmented by improved joining methods. In addition to the resistance-spot, MIG, and MAG welding; adhesive bonding; clinching; semi-tubular rivets; and flow-drilling screws found on the 991, the 992 incorporates solid punch welding, roller hemming, and friction welding. All this extra work and re-engineering results in a five percent increase in structural rigidity. That’s fairly substantial, considering how rock-solid the outgoing 991 is.

The Classiest of Chassis. Dimensionally, the 992 is only 0.8 inch longer than the older car while riding on the same 96.5-inch wheelbase. This similarity is offset by a modified track, now wider by 1.8 inches in the front and 1.5 inches out back, giving the 992 a larger footprint and bigger base. The 992 also marks the first use of staggered wheel diameters on a non-GT 911, with S and 4S models getting 20-inch wheels up front and 21-inchers out back. (Non-S Carrera cars, which will debut later, are said to utilize a 19- and 20-inch setup.) The biggest chassis change arrives with the revised Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) dampers, which are now “infinitely” adjustable regardless of wheel position. Before, the dampers were adjusted only when the wheel wasn’t moving up or down. This results in a wider spread between the Comfort and Sport suspensions settings—in other words, Comfort is more comfortable and Sport is sportier than ever.

Spring rates are up, too, by 15 percent up front and 14 percent at the rear on the base suspension. Check the box next to the Sport chassis setup, and thos enumbers go up to 18 and 23 percent compared to the last-gen car’s suspension options. Porsche futzed with the engine mounts as well, moving them inboard by 6.6 inches and forward by 4.4. According to Porsche, the gains are wide-reaching, improving stiffness substantially between suspension and transmission, resulting in better load-transfer stiffness and thus sharper handling.

Pump the Brakes

With the exception of an additional 0.8 inch of diameter on the rear brakes (steel) and a switch to copper-free linings, both the steel and ceramic brake systems are the same as the 991’s. Stick with the stock steel setup, you get six-piston front calipers and four-piston rears pinching 13.8-inch rotors all around. Spring for the Porsche Carbon-Ceramic Brakes (PCCB) and the front discs grow to a whopping 16.1 inches and the rears to 15.3 inches.

Behind the scenes, this is the first 911 to incorporate an electronic brake booster. Pedal travel and braking pressure is improved, but this booster should primarily make the transition to hybridization easier. Beyond the electro-wizardry, the 992 also has a trick lightweight brake-pedal design yanked from the 918 Spyder, cutting weight by 41 percent and improving feedback and feel. If smashing the pedal isn’t slowing you down enough, the retractable rear spoiler now acts as an airbrake, providing aerodynamic resistance and aiding deceleration above a certain speed threshold. All of this work adds up to 3.2 feet shaved from the braking distance from 62 mph, and 7.4 feet from 186 mph.

The electrically boosted steering is 10 percent quicker as standard thanks to a modified ratio and a stiffer torsion bar; with the optional rear-wheel steering system fitted, and front steering is six percent quicker overall than before.

Wet mode

One of the 992’s biggest innovations is Porsche’s new Wet mode. While the driver can individually toggle the mode at any time, sensors embedded in the wheel wells detect rain splatter and work to determin the severity of road conditions. If certain parameters are met, the driver receives a warning requesting they switch over to the specialized wet-weather driving mode. Even so the stability and traction control are primed for wet conditions independent of driver intervention. Once Wet mode is fully engaged, the chassis and powertrain changes are exhaustive: engine torque is reduced through modified transmission shift points, the throttle mapping is flattened, the ABS threshold lowered, the rear spoiler adjusted to compensate for possible oversteer, and, on all-wheel-drive cars, more power is funneled to the front wheels.

Powertrain

The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine now spits out 450 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque in the S models, almost matching the 991.2 GTS’s figures. This extra oompf primarily comes from new larger turbochargers, along with a heavily revised intercooling system. According to Porsche, the intercooler is 14 percent larger; it’s now located directly behind the engine instead of behind the rear wheels as on the 991.2, improving flow and further reducing temperatures. There are also new piezo fuel injectors with an improved range of spray control, along with updated intake valves that reduce low-RPM emissions.

Channeling this power to the wheels is a choice of a seven-speed manual transmission or a new eight-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission. Details on the manual aren’t yet available, but we’ve experienced the eight-speed before on the new Panamera. It adds an additional cog compared to the longstanding seven-speed PDK that launched with the 997.2 in 2009, but gearing isn’t drastically different, as the new gear is essentially added between six and seventh. Now, sixth is the top-speed gear, with seventh and eighth acting as tall overdrives for highway cruising and improved fuel economy. While a hybrid 911 isn’t yet officially confirmed, Porsche admitted the eight-speed PDK was designed with future hybridization in mind. Its housing is the same size as the old one but the internals are shorter, which leaves room for an electric motor.

By the Numbers

With all this fancy go-fast hardware, it’s no surprise the 992 is faster than any non-GTS Carrera before. A 992 Carrera S with the PDK cracks off a zero-to-60-mph sprint in a mighty 3.3 seconds with the Sport Chrono package and its launch-control feature, or 3.5 seconds without. Spring for the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4S with Sport Chrono, and the 60 time drops to 3.2 seconds. On the Nürburgring, the new 992 Carrera bested the 991.2 by five seconds, clocking in a time around the 7:29 mark. Top speed is 191 mph in the S, or 190 in the 4S.

Interior and Driver Assistance Tech

Even what many consider to be the ultimate driver’s car isn’t immune from technology creep. For the first time in Porsche’s history, the 911 now includes lane-keep assist, collision warning and avoidance, rear turn assist, and a night-vision camera. The collision-avoidance system works much like the one on the Panamera, incorporating visual and auditory warnings, along with brake jolts and, if needed, automatic braking to avoid a collision.

Inside, in addition to the two 7.0-inch TFT digital displays flanking the analog tachometer, a 10.9-inch center dash display relays navigation, entertainment, connectivity, and vehicle information. Down in the center console, a touch panel with haptic feedback is ripped straight from the Panamera and provides controls for vehicle functions.

Dramatic dining room makeover

I know I've been quiet over the past week! I planned to have this room makeover up last Friday, but the last minute touch ups took much longer than I expected. We've been dealing with a car accident a couple weeks ago (my car was hit and totaled) -- it's been crazy dealing with the insurance/collision center/car dealership and all that jazz.

Things are calming down now and all has been resolved...and I got this room done! The funny thing is I ended up quite a bit in here over the weekend, so I'm glad I didn't share it just yet! I'm SO HAPPY with the changes I made in here! Be prepared -- this is a picture heavy post.

First, a little reminder! This is how this dining area started out:

I shared that tour here.

I don't know what to call this room. :) It's not really a separate room -- it's open to our great room. I like to call it a morning room because it looks so pretty in the morning and it's a more relaxed space than a formal dining area. But no one knows what a morning room is (I'm sure it can be many things). 😂 So...I'm sticking with dining room. OK!

Later we purchased a couple pieces of furniture and I was already loving it more:

I always had a plan to add a window seat here. I knew I would want one in this house (like our old house!). I had the builder move the light over 17 inches over instead of directly centered in the room to accommodate for it:

Last I left you, it was trimmed out but I hadn't painted it yet.

I've struggled with a looong wall we have in the room and it's perplexed me since we moved in. I shared my plan for the wall a couple weeks ago -- it included paint and trim.

Well, I painted and we. LOVE. IT:

It's the same moody blue (Cyberspace by Sherwin-Williams) that I used in our family room on the fireplace and built ins.

It balances the whole space SO well -- I was so thrilled when I was done!:

The window seat went white...but something was nagging at me. I knew the window wall needed something else. I actually thought of this idea right after the seat was built, but I held off to see how the rest of the room came together.

I realized after everything was painted that the room definitely needed some character...my favorite! Right up my alley. :)

So I got busy building some built ins on either side of the windows. The window seat is about 17 inches deep and I had the wood cut to 14 inches in depth. It was just a personal preference that I didn't want them meet up with the front of the window seat.

I had two 4x8 boards cut down into 14 inch strips and then brought them home to cut them down to the lengths I needed (sides and shelves). Then I had to determine where I wanted my shelves. I used painter's tape on the wall to determine the distance between shelves.

When I figured it out, I used a level to make my measurements and then make a straight line across, where the shelves would go:

For the other side of the built in (I didn't have wood cut for the back -- if you caulk and paint well there's no need for additional wood on the back) I had to make sure the line was at the exact same spot for the shelf:

I simply stacked the two pieces (each side of the built in) and made sure they were lined up exactly. Then I marked where each shelf needed to go.

I have a jig to build without seeing the screws, but if you use the right screws and secure it well to the wall, I just don't find it's needed. I use screws that sink into the wood:

The line gives you a guide for where your shelves will go and where to screw in. You can see the shelf on the other side of the wood.

When I got all the shelves on, I secured this part into the wall:

I did plenty of checking to make sure my other side would fit perfectly between the window trim and the shelves:

When you're doing something like this keep in mind this wood is 3/4 of an inch. So for my shelves I had to deduct 1.5 inches total.

Once that was secure, I added the other side, screwing into the shelves at the lines I marked. As I did it, I check the shelves for level along the way.

These are my FAVORITE screws for this kind of project:

I got them at Lowe's. They catch easily, drill in well and sink perfectly so you can fill the hole.

I ended up adding a top (that I wrapped with a 1x4 to give a little header) and bottom "shelf" -- they both made it look more finished and built in. I used lattice wood trim to cover all the rough edges and finish it up. I was going to leave it like this to show you on Friday:

Two things were bugging me -- there was a gap at the top because I planned to add crown later on. I have been hiring it out because I just hate doing it myself. (I can do it...I just don't like it.)

And the strip above the window was really bugging me. I thought about adding a "header" of sorts across the top, but man, that was going to be a ton of work that would involve having more wood cut at the store.

So instead, I had an idea. I just painted that part white to match the rest of the built ins and then I went ahead and tried my hand at crown again. Surprisingly, it wasn't hard. At all! I did it!

The key to doing crown is having samples (I have them marked with inside and outside cuts) that you can refer to constantly. This is HUGE! Also, making sure they are at the exact same angle on your saw for every single cut -- I mark my saw with a pencil so I know just where to have them when I cut.

I shared a crown molding tutorial years ago you can check out. Also, there's a much easier way to do it that involves some additional pieces and I shared that cheater crown molding how-to here.

That simple change of painting the strip above the window and adding the crown made ALL the difference! And then after I was done with that, I realized I wanted the smaller wall across the room to be dark blue as well. It was odd having three difference colored walls in this space.

THEN I was done...mostly. ;) I have a couple other things I hope to do and I'll share those in a minute. I'm a little giddy about this room and how it came together:

The whole family loves it! Every day my husband comments on how much he loves it. You know a project is good when you step back and feel like the room should have always looked like this...like it's been there forever, but it hasn't!:

At first I planned to do crown around the whole room, but I'm so glad I didn't! Just adding it to this wall makes it really feel like a custom piece. If I decide to add it later it is easy to add it on without removing anything:

My plan was to add flat and wide trim in a grid (square) pattern on this big wall:

But now I'm not sold on it. I think it will get too busy. I'm not completely ruling it out, but I'll wait and see.

The addition of the seat and built ins shrunk the wall just a bit! And I have an idea for each side of the mirror, but I'll probably wait on that as well. It needs to breathe for awhile!:

The window seat has great storage inside and I'm thrilled because I have cushions coming soon! I cannot WAIT to see them on here. I'm already positive they will be the perfect finishing touch:

Here's a look at the door wall at the beginning:

And here it is now:

By the way, the walls on the sides of the windows weren't the exact same size. Which kind of burns me up. 😂 But it doesn't matter at all -- don't let that keep you from doing something like this!

Here's this spot with the new furniture earlier this year:

Here is is now!:

Goodness I can't wait to get those cushions on there!

A couple more befores -- that little hallway is getting a makeover next I'm SUPER excited and a little terrified. ;)

I still think the walls need something...and like I said, I have an idea in mind. But I'm going to live with them as is for awhile:

By the way, I loved the before too -- it was lovely. You know I have to add my touches though!:

OH! I almost forgot one of my favorite parts -- the lights on the built ins! I will be sharing all of the details on those later this week. You'll love that project!

I'll go ahead and link to them below:

Here's a list of the items in this room:

Hanging light

Wood chairs, World Market

Upholstered chairs, mirror, lamp, rug, basket -- HomeGoods

Framed wreath/quote -- my own DIY, made from a towel!

Buffet and table are from local stores. You can find all the details here.

Sconces are from Amazon

Pillows: Green velvet from World Market, others are my DIY from napkins

Table runner -- World Market

By the way...who needs art when you have this view? So pretty! 😍:

I hope you enjoyed the project. We sure love it. Let me know if you have any questions! I've been sitting here for about four hours now...gotta sign off on this long post! :)
