If you are planning a themed wedding there could be nothing more special than by giving it a Celtic flavor. Whether you choose to have the guests wearing full dress kilts, with a rousing pipe band or the gentle tunes of the harp it is sure to be a wedding to remember.

There are many simple and elegant ways you can introduce one or all three of the Celtic nations into your special day. Each has its own traditions that will provide you with a romantic, natural old world feeling when you combine them.

The wedding rings are one of the potent symbols of marriage. Celtic wedding ring styles include beautiful golden knots, traditional trinity rings, ancient Gaelic script rings, the Irish Claddagh, or warrior rings. The more lines you incorporate into the ring the greater the protection from evil. Having a traditional inscription on the inside in either Gaelic or Welsh will be a treasure for years to come.

It is easy to obtain Irish, Scottish or Welsh tartan these days and there are many manufacturers producing lovely tartan dress kilts, plaid waistcoats and ties. Ladies can also find tartan gowns, garters, sashes, and skirts. Ribbon is also available in various tartans to use for decorating and party favors.

Musical accompaniment is guaranteed to make your guests feel they are in the Highlands, on an Irish moor or walking through a misty Mid Wales valley. Obviously you will need a large venue if you choose a pipe and drum band or a male voice choir but smaller locations could quite easily accommodate a single piper, Welsh harpist or traditional Irish folk band with a Uillean pipes and a bodhran drum.

All Celtic celebrations concentrate on nature. Flowers always play a part of the wedding day. Each of the Celtic nations has their own individual floral tributes which you can weave into your bouquet, corsages or center pieces. You could include the subtle purples and blues of the Scottish heathers, the vibrant greens of clovers or the brilliant yellows in daffodils. Also within traditional mythology the bride tends to have small flowers woven into her hair or dress to ward off evil spirits.  Various herbs can be worn in the hair as a sign of fidelity. Sprigs of shamrock or white heather are added to bouquets and dresses for good luck. Lavender is often added to ensure a lasting union. Even opting for a wreath of wild flowers instead of a wedding veil adds a Celtic touch. Have your flower girl throw clovers or daffodil petals down the aisle. In Wales, it is customary for the bride to pull myrtle from her bouquet to give to her bridesmaids to plant. If it blooms, the bridesmaid will soon be married.

These days it has become common to place wedding favours on the tables for guests. Here too simple gifts with a Celtic feel can add to the sense of the occasion.  Celtic wedding favors could include small carved love spoons or toffees wrapped together and tied with a tartan bow. Irish tradition has a small box with the couple's name on and a piece of wedding cake inside, each laced with a lucky charm, button, pea or coin, each having its own special meaning. Irish four leaf clover is available in seeds or resin so each guest can take the luck of the Irish home with them.

You can really have fun with the invitations and printed place settings. Why not give each table a Welsh or Gaelic place name, use a traditional Celtic style type face on your place settings to give your wedding party a real connection to the Isles. Your wedding invitations too could include Celtic knot designs, like those found in many religious scripts from the early Christian periods.  They could feature bold patterns and colorful images, the trademark of all things Celtic.

The Scots, Welsh and Irish are all well known talkers, poets and story tellers. There are many famous pieces of poetry you could include on the day to recite or have printed on place mats to enhance the charm of the occasion.

The wedding feast is always a memorable part of the day's celebrations and what better way to have a themed ceremony than by choosing a traditional Celtic meal. You could have a starter of broth or rarebit, main course including Scottish beef, salmon or Welsh lamb and to finish a dessert of fresh woodland fruits and berries, followed by Irish coffee.

During the evening's entertainment you could advise the DJ to bring along a number of contemporary groups to continue the theme. Modern bands like U2, Stereophonics, The Proclaimers, and Travers, even Tom Jones, all renowned, proud Celts and are certain to get the guests dancing the night away.

Whatever elements you choose to include with your wedding giving it that unique Celtic feel, you can be sure there are many intriguing, traditional and novel ideas. After all, we Celts have been making a show of getting married for centuries now.

Pipe Makers Extruded New Market

By 1989, fences were 25% of Bufftech’s sales, and by 1991, Bufftech was out of pipe altogether. Kroy Building Products in York, Neb., was also exclusively a pipe maker until 1990, when it started making PVC fences. By ’96, Kroy had split its pipe and fence making into two companies, of which fencing was much larger.

Nebraska Plastics Inc. in Cozad, Neb., is considered to have made the first PVC fencing in 1976. “That fence such as  temporary fence,portable fence,wire mesh fence still stands on a farm east of Cozad, Neb.,” notes company president Rex German. Other small PVC pipe makers began to follow suit in the early to mid-’80s, like Triple Crown Fence (now part of Royal Group) in Milford, Ind., and Bufftech (now part of Certainteed) in Buffalo, N.Y. They were drawn by the double-digit profit margins in fencing, as compared with less than 1% margins in pipe.

Makers of window and siding profiles also got into fences as a profitable way to reuse scrap that they could less readily put back into windows and siding. Lumber and building-products companies have also gotten into PVC fences. An example is lumber maker Irwin Industries in Peachtree City, Ga., which began making PVC fence profiles five years ago. “Now other profile companies are looking at fences as an additional product line,” says Tom Brown, sales manager at ExtrusionTek Milacron in Batavia, Ohio.

Pipe and siding companies initially approached fence manufacturing quite differently. Pipe makers extruded monolayer products very fast, often with dual-strand dies, and without worrying much about surface cosmetics. They applied high-output pipe cooling techniques such as vacuum sizing, flooded cooling, and high-intensity spray. On the other hand, window-profile makers were used to extruding far more slowly than pipe, with close attention to cosmetics and dimensional tolerances. They used dual-strand lines primarily on smaller profiles, and they typically relied on dry-sizing calibrators. In addition, window-profile makers put uv-resistant cap layers on exposed surfaces of their fence products to reduce their overall use of stabilizers and titanium dioxide.

Now the two approaches are meeting somewhere in the middle: Profile makers are speeding up their fencing lines with use of high-speed pipe cooling and dual-strand lines of all sizes. Coextrusion of uv cap layers is also growing in popularity.

However, there are dissenters. Royal Crown and Nebraska Plastics, for example, are committed to monolayer extrusion, believing it makes a superior fence product. Nebraska Plastics’ German warned about coextrusion at the fence convention in Fla. this year: “Unfortunately, many producers have begun using PVC fence as a dumping ground for inferior materials. While coextrusion itself isn’t the culprit, it gives opportunistic producers the chance to mask inappropriate materials with a capstock.”

“The latest change in the fence business is getting higher capacity machines and running them faster, without the dimensional constraints of window profiles,” says Lawrence of Outdoor Advantage. His firm runs conical twin at over 1200 lb/hr, thanks in part to a very long, 14-ft puller.

As an example of how fast things are changing, just a year ago, standard cooling tanks for PVC fencing pumped 60-100 gal/min of water from 100-150 nozzles, or else used turbulent immersion cooling. But in the past year Conair has delivered several high-intensity spray-cooling tanks for fences that deliver 200-340 gal/min through up to 370 spray nozzles in a 24-ft tank.

“Evaporative cooling, used properly in the initial stage of cooling, can increase cooling 20-30% over immersion,” says Conair product manager Robert Bessemer. Such intensive cooling—combined with a system for air/water separation, vacuum, and water recirculation—has been used on high-output pipe lines for 15 years but is relatively new to fences, he says.

Cooling lines are also getting longer to keep up with higher production rates. Calibrators have gone from 24 to 48 in. long, and flood tanks from 20 to 30 ft, plus in some cases another 10 ft of spray tank. Recently installed fence lines typically use 40 ft of cooling. “In the past year, we’ve probably raised our output 50% by improving the streamlining in dies and adding to the length of dry calibration and wet cooling tanks,” says Kansas American’s Doering.

For extruding fences at 1200-2000 lb/hr, ExtrusionTek Milacron recommends its 80- or 92-mm conical twin-screw for the substrate and a 55-mm conical twin for the cap layer. A standard 1.5 x 5.5 in. fence plank typically runs at up to 16 ft/min, whereas a high-output parallel twin-screw reportedly can push speeds to 30 ft/min while running dual strands.

Davis-Standard expanded its Gemini series of parallel twin-screws last year with a larger 140-mm model that puts out up to 2800 lb/hr of pipe. But so far the biggest Gemini extruder used in fencing is the 114-mm, good for 1600 lb/hr.

non catted mid-pipes for a 2004 GTO 5.7?

where can i pick up a pair. and will they hook up to dynotech long tube headers and SLP loudmouth 1 catback system?

then i think you will fail your emissions without your cats. but as long as the tube dimensions are the same they will fit each other.
