Apparently Jon Gosselin decided a great gift for Kate's birthday would be him sticking his penis in another woman's vagina (Deanna Hummel above) while clear across the country. Do you get a card with something like that? Just curious. Us Weekly reports:
On that day, March 28, Jon was on a steamy, ...

Taiwo on trial at Chesterfield
City midfielder Soloman Taiwo has joined Chesterfield for a week long trial.
The former Dagenham player, signed two and a half years ago by Dave Jones, is expected to train with the Spirites for a week before a decision is made on a longer term move.
Taiwo has hardly had a look in while at Cardiff and this season has played just 21 mins of first team footbal for the Bluebirds.
Good luck to him.

Follow-Up Postings:
Sure, First does it have any leaves now? If yes then.... Put it in a pot if it is a small bulb put it in a small pot and put it in a sunny window. Water it twice a week if your house is warm 70-80. No leaves..... Leaves or not do not put more than 2" of soil over the bulb. I have 25 now most in pots. I bring them in, around Sept. and they are in a cool 55-60 room they get watered once or twice during the winter they start growing in March. This year I had blooms in June this year. |

Perhaps this may hopefully give you some ideas:
Web Database Concept
This is something I put together about ASP that hopefully might help somehow.
You and others can have access to a database hosted on the Web from any location that has a browser with an Internet connection.
The Web database concept makes sense if you and your people want to do work in various locations in or outside the office and still be "plugged" in.
For example you could have employees enter timesheets or have sales reps log their contacts. Or perhaps you'd like customers to be able to check the status of their orders online without having to call the company.
If you want a Web database, typically what would happen is that a database such as Access or MySQL (basically just consisting of tables) would be put on the Web.
Then "dynamic" Web pages (such as classic ASP pages which include VBScript, HTML, and/or JavaScript) would be created acting like the old desktop database's queries, forms, and reports to access the database - all hosted on a Web Server.
Dynamic Web pages are similar in many ways to regular HTML pages. But they are "live" because the user can read from and write to information in the database. An example where you can login and add, edit, or view fictional customers and invoices is at http://www.bullschmidt.com/login.asp
Not all Web hosts will handle dynamic Web pages but many do. The Web hosts that can handle ASP pages usually have a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 operating system running an IIS Web server.
Here are a few good ASP sites:
o ASP101 Samples - http://www.asp101.com/samples
o W3Schools ASP Tutorial - http://www.w3schools.com/asp
o Microsoft VBScript Language Reference - http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/...bscripttoc.htm
And the following newsgroup is good:
Or for a "quick and dirty" generic ASP open source solution to putting databases on the Web (often works well for the admin area of a Web site which doesn't need to look too unique) that just requires setting up a configuration page for each table or query and uploading the database to the Web as long as there is an autonumber field in each table (and you'll probably also separately want to create login capabilities), perhaps try something like this:

www.learnasp.com has both classic asp and asp.net examples
www.4guysfromrolla.com also has some classic asp examples however anything on their site after 2001 is mostly asp.net
If you want to learn just asp.net then try http://www.asp.net/Tutorials/quickstart.aspx
While most sites are now devoted to asp.net, learning classic asp can come in helpful since there is a lot of legacy code written in classic asp.

The argument for a populist Democratic Party: Not the Obama Coalition
Posted on Fri Jan 30, 2015 at 02:03:39 PM EST
Tags: (all tags)
Egberto Willes in arguing that the "Obama Coalition" is not truly a Democratic coalition, wrote:
President Obama won the presidency twice. Each time he won he did so by substantial margins. His 2008 winning percentages were 43, 95, 67, 62, and 66 for the white, black, Latino, Asian, and other groups respectively. His 2012 winning percentages were 39, 93, 71, 73, and 58 for the white, black, Latino, Asian, and other groups respectively. . . . The above numbers are electorally balanced given today�s realities. It should put a fear in every Democratic presidential candidate�s psyche. Just like Karl Rove was wrong about a permanent Republican majority in 2001, those who claim some sort of Obama coalition that guarantees a 2016 Democratic president are wrong. The "Bush coalition" of 2004 actually looks much more balanced and sustainable than the mythical Obama coalition. . . .
All Republicans need to do to replicate the 2004 Bush coalition is to simply not act crazy. A few months back I wrote the piece �Don�t laugh but Rand Paul could be our next president� that had many calling me naive. This even as we are a country that elected an articulate actor (Reagan) and a less than intellectually competent "Yale" graduate (George W. Bush).
What is Egberto arguing for? I'll get to that in a second, but his notion that 2004 is the "true" breakdown is unsupported. On top of that, it only leads to a squeaker win for the GOP. Frankly, a better candidate would have beaten Bush in my opinion.
But is there really an "Obama Coalition?" Certainly Obama maximized African-American turnout and, in 2008, maximized the youth vote. That can't be replicated by any Democrat right now. But the basic contours of the "Obama Coalition" have existed for quite some time. I'll just give you one data point to prove my point: Michael Dukakis in 1988 collected votes in the demographics as follows: 40 percent of whites, 89 percent of African Americans, 70 percent of Latinos. In essence, he won the "Obama Coalition." Of course, he lost to Bush 41 by eight points. What happened in the following 20 years was the emerging Democratic majority. One data point�in 1988, whites were 85 percent of the electorate. In 2012, they were 72 percent.
Egberto's title tells his thesis "Democrats cannot rely on a mythical nontransferable 'Obama Coalition." This is incorrect on a number of levels. First, as I think I demonstrated above, it's not an "Obama Coalition," it's a Democratic Coalition. If Mike Dukakis can achieve it, you simply can't attribute it to Obama.
Second, Democrats can rely upon the basic makeup of the vote of those demographics. Even in Egberto's representative "true" year, 2004, Bush 43's principal gains were amongst Latino voters and even then Kerry took 56 percent of the Latino vote. And that was the GOP highwater mark, and an anomaly. This is especially clear when you consider that Bush and Rove were assiduously courting Latino votes with initiatives like, yep, immigration reform. That thrust has been utterly repudiated by the GOP. In short, 2004 was sui generis.
Okay, so what's the argument for abandoning this formula if it is (1) a Democratic coalition, not an Obama coalition; (2) not a myth, and in fact resilient? The argument is simple, winning elections is necessary, but not a complete condition to governing progressively.
In short, absent a transformation of the dynamic of Democratic governing and the elimination of the legislative filibuster, progressivism can only gain in increments absent a large electoral win. Thus while the emerging democratic majority can win the presidency in most cases, it can't win a governing majority.
What's needed for that? Winning more white voters. How to do that? Well the DLC/Third Way types will argue for "moderation" as the path. And perhaps they are right. But "moderation" does not win for progressivism. It may win for Democrats, but not for the ideas of progressives.
Egberto argues:
The Democratic nominee better take on issues directly that solidifies the Democratic base. Prosperity likely will not have trickled down by November 2016 even with a seemingly good economy. The Democratic nominee will have to be unabashedly populist and anti Wall Street, the arbiters of capital extraction.They must be the embodiment of our just lost liberal orator Mario Cuomo. The nominee must bring back to life the essence of Cuomo's 1984 keynote speech and FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights.
As elitist Democrats continue the coronation of some with the expectation that the Obama Coalition is static for their taking, a big surprise might just be in the making. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. One hopes the lesson will be learned in due time.
I'm for Egberto's remedies, but not for the reasons Egberto is arguing for them. First, a Democrat, let's say, Hillary Clinton, can certainly win in 2016 without doing these things. But can she govern in a progressive way? (Of course many doubt that is how she wants to govern.) The answer is pretty clearly no.
Winning elections is one thing, winning a governing coalition for progressive policies is something else altogether. To gain that in the short term, Democrats need more white votes. And populism as described by Egberto could be the way to do that.
The Warren Wing of the Democratic Party does not have a particular appeal to the existing emerging Democratic majority (nor is it a drawback). But perhaps its appeal can draw in more white working-class votes. And of course it speaks to very important progressive policy preferences regarding the economy.
In making the argument for this approach, I think we need to stay true to the political facts: (1) a Hillary Clinton does not threaten the emerging Democratic majority, but it also does not expand it. (2) The Warren Wing does not insure the emerging Democratic majority nor does it lessen it. (3) We need electoral expansion for progressive policies. And there may be fertile ground among working-class white voters. That type of expansion requires Democratic populism.
As to what Hillary Clinton wants, I'm more cynical than most. She wants to win but also won't stand in the way of progressivism.
In the short term, I'm arguing for progressives influencing presidents. What comes after that, who is to say?

The curator of a new exhibition in Long Island City says making holograms is like working inside a camera.
"You're shaping light," said Martina Mrongovius, who is curating for the Holocenter.
A zebra will prance to life, a banana will fool the audience as to whether it's edible or not and a woman will allow a glimpse of her blood pumping and her cells oscillating just under the surface of her skin.
All play with the idea of what's real and what's not.
"They will question your perspective of what's solid and tangible," Mrongovius said.
Mrongovius, originally from Australia, selected the 35 works in "Interference: Coexistence," at the Long Island City Clock Tower from Sept. 6 to 28, from her mentors, whom she met teaching and traveling from Germany to South Korea. Mrongovius will also show one of her own holograms, which she made from 200 video frames and then animated.
In addition to filling the tower with holographic art, the empty entryway and old bank vaults will buzz with several shows. Opening night Robert Aaron and SPI Music Artists will perform their unique brand of music with beverages donated by Brooklyn Brewery and CoolVines.
On Sept. 12 one of Flux Factory's artists in residence who is also a certified New York City guide will give a special tour — one that doubles as performance art, Holocenter Director Jonah Levy said — of the exhibition.
Saturday, Sept. 14 will go to the kids with optics experiments and drawing.
On the 19th artist Gerry Marks will project his hologram photos including ones taken of the view from the top of the clock tower, and then on the 21st the space will be filled with experimental music for the wrap-up party of the Maker Faire, an event at the Hall of Science that shows off pretty much anything that's new and mind-blowing in the world of manufacturing and technology.
"The music pushes the tech side," Levy said. "There's going to be some grooves and some thoughtful stuff."
Up until March the nomadic public arts group No Longer Empty filled the tower that once was the borough's largest building with an exhibit about money, a throwback to the spot's former tenant — the Bank of Manhattan.
The group, along with Andover Realty, then donated the space to the Holocenter for the show.
"It's our first major show in four years," Levy said.
In 2009 the center lost its funding and had to vacate its office in Court Square. Since then it has been operating out of the Flux Factory space at 39-31 29 St.
Once the show closes down, the Holocenter will move to the basement, where it will stay until next August.
They will continue to show their boundary-pushing art on a smaller scale as well as team up with The Secret Theatre and LIC Flea & Food for additional shows.
"We're really excited to show people what holography is all about," Levy said.
When: Sept. 6 to 28, Wednesday through Saturday, 2 to 6 p.m.
Where: Clock Tower in LIC, 29-27 41 Ave.
Tickets: Free, holocenter.org

Yale Faces New Claims Of Stolen Artifacts
by Thomas MacMillan | Apr 16, 2014 12:19 pm

Posted to: Arts & Culture, Visual Arts, Higher Ed
A year and a half after Yale returned the last of hundreds of Machu Picchu artifacts to Peru, the Yale Peabody Museum faces a new charge of cultural theft—this time about two carvings from a native Alaskan tribe.
Two Tlingit carvings on display at the museum are stolen property, and should be sent back to their owners in Alaska, according to several students and scholars who spoke Tuesday afternoon at Yale.
That allegation emerged Tuesday afternoon at a panel discussion in Yale's Hall of Graduate Studies on the topic of artifact repatriation—the returning of museum relics to the people to which they historically belonged.
Yale junior Ashley Dalton presented research on two artifacts currently in the Yale Peabody Natural History Museum's collection, "totem crest" carvings of a bird and of a bear. Those artifacts were taken, Dalton said, from a Tlingit village in Alaska in 1899 by members of the Harriman expedition. The carvings, one of which marked a funerary site, were taken without permission, along with a host of other Native American artifacts.
The Harriman expedition was led by railroad magnate Edward Harriman, who filled a steamboat full of items taken from Alaska. In the years after his expedition, his collection ended up in museums around the country. Then, following the passage of the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, many of the Harriman artifacts were returned to tribes in Alaska.
But not the two carvings in the Peabody collection.
Dalton—along with a University of Massachusetts professor, a Yale doctoral student, and a repatriation manager with the Smithsonian Institution—argued Tuesday that the carvings should be returned to the Saanya Kwaan tribe in Alaska, now represented by the Cape Fox Corporation.
Derek E.G. Briggs, head of the Peabody museum said Wednesday that the museum is in contact with the tribe, but has not received a request to return the artifacts. If the tribe filed such a request, the museum would go through the repatriation procedure, Briggs said.
A second criticism of the Peabody emerged Tuesday. Several speakers objected to the museum's presentation of Native American history as part of "natural history." Jacquetta Swift, the Smithsonian repatriations manager and a Fort Still Apache/Comanche, called it "offensive" and "dehumanizing" that Native American history is presented alongside information about dinosaurs and rocks and neanderthals.
Briggs responded to this criticism by saying that "the history of humanity is not separate from that of the Earth and its past," and that the Peabody's display practices are similar to those of other major natural history museums.
The Cape Fox Corporation didn't respond to a request for comment.
Yale is not new to disputes about repatriation of artifacts. A years-long dispute with Peru ended in 2012 when Yale returned the last of hundreds of artifacts taken from Machu Picchu in 1912 by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham III.
The Tlingit carvings, meanwhile, have sat quietly in the museum for years. In 1990, the passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) required museums to inventory all "cultural patrimony objects" in their possession. The act requires these items to be returned to descendants upon request.
Since then, according to Anya Montiel, the Yale doctoral student who organized Tuesday's discussion, most museums with Harriman expedition artifacts have returned them.
"Yale has not," Montiel said.
Yale needs to not only return the carved bird and bear, argued Dalton, but take some steps to address the legacy of colonialism. It's not enough to simply have an "empty shelf" in the museum, where the relics once were.
One option, Dalton said, is the process undertaken by the Harvard Peabody museum. When that museum returned a totem pole taken by Harriman, the tribe presented the museum with a cedar tree, which was then carved into a new totem pole by a contemporary artist.
Under NAGPRA, the museum has no obligation to repatriate artifacts unless a tribe asks them to do so. Dalton said that's not fair. The burden shouldn't be on the party that was robbed, but on the possessor of the stolen artifacts, she said.
It's a matter of "institutional will," said Rae Gould, a UMass anthropolgy professor and member of the Nipmuk nation, who spoke at Tuesday's event. "Could they and should they be reaching out" to the tribe? "I think it's up to the institution. I think they could be more proactive."
"To me it seems very curious" that all the other museums with Harriman artifacts have returned them, said Montiel. "I don't know why Yale hasn't."
"The Peabody employs a repatriation officer, equivalent to Jackie Swift at the Smithsonian, with the sole responsibility of responding to requests from Native American tribes and facilitating the return of objects in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act," Briggs, the Peabody director, said. "The source of the Tlingit carvings is fully documented at the Peabody Museum. To date we have received no request to return them. If the museum were asked for these items we would go through the normal procedures involved in a repatriation request. In the meantime we are in communication with the Tlingit tribe and we recently repatriated another item to them."
Primitive Display?
In addition to repatriating the Tlingit artifacts, Montiel said she hope the Peabody takes an opportunity to "reinvent" its presentation of Native American history.
"It's very odd" to go into the museum and see Native American history presented alongside geodes and dinosaurs and neanderthals, she said. "Are you then saying that Native Americans are related to these primitive people?"
The displays are "very static," without any acknowledgement that Native American cultures and peoples exist to this day. she said. The Peabody should incorporate Native American voices, have modern photographs, she said.
The whole presentation at the Peabody is "very antiquated," said the Smithsonian's Swift. She also objected to the presentation of Native American history alongside dinosaurs and early humans. "It's offensive," she said. "It's very dehumanizing."
"As part of our mission we seek to educate and inform our visitors about the history of cultures around the world—and while the focus is on Native Americans, this extends to Polynesia, Australia and ancient Egypt," Briggs said. "The history of humanity is not separate from that of the Earth and its past. The Yale Peabody Museum displays Native American artifacts and natural history objects in the same building, as do many other major museums, including the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Field Museum in Chicago, and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto."

The real pros at cultural looting are the Brits. London has the best artifacts from Greece and Egypt as souvenirs of the days of Empire.
As for sensitivity to other cultures, wouldn't the members of a particular culture know more about how a display affects them than the alien culture doing the display?
Keep working on that emotional intelligence until you get it right :-)

Organized coding direction help
Hi all, I am building a website that requires several accessibility features to aid the visually impaired. So, after I created the website I started work on the "special needs" portion. Presently I have 10 pages and several forms.
- Created Specialty Nav Bar
- default text size
- large text size
- extra large text size
- no graphics
- contrast
Each nav bar link has an onclick=setTextSize(size) or setNoGraphics() or setContrast() function. Presently, when the user uses a link to change the format of the page it fires the function and the "size" variable is passed to 3 cases which manipulate the DOM elements ( or BOM elements - confused) depending on the "text size" chosen. Just before the call to "break;" a cookie is created because we want to save it to the users HD so they don't have to go thru the setup process each time they come to the page.
Eventually I want to be able to combine text size change with fg and bg color changes (color blindness), as well as, the absence of graphics if chosen.
Below is a snippet of the function code to date:
function setTextSize(size){
var h3=document.getElementById('txt').getElementsByTagName('h3');
var paragraph=document.getElementById('txt').getElementsByTagName('p');
var fanpage=document.getElementById('fan_page_txt');
var h,p;
case 15:
height.style.height=1110+"px"; //Wrapper height
text.style.height=730+"px"; //Text container height
base.style.height=100+"px"; // Bullets Div height
base.style.width=460+"px"; // Bullets Div width
baseUl.style.height=92+"px"; // Bullets ul height
baseUl.style.width=425+"px"; // Bullets ul width
fanpage.style.height=60+"px"; // Text directly below the bullets
for ( h=0;h<h3.length; h++)//**************/ H3 text size change
for ( p=0;p<paragraph.length;p++)//*********/ P text size change
for (l=0;l<list.length; l++) //**********/ Li text size change
setCookie("Default","15","January 1, 2030", "/");
case 19:
So I hope you get the idea as to what I'm trying to do.
Is there a question in here you ask?
Well yes but I needed to make sure you had a better picture of what I am trying to do.
So when I get to the next page in the website I can't use the same function because the Element Id's are different, the container height's and width's are different. If I try to make it work for all 10 pages the code in that fucntion will be massive.
So what do I do? Create 10 setTextSize functions (1 for each page) and 10 unique cookies and write complex string manipulating functions to return the correct cookie values? It mustn't be that big, surely?
I wonder is there a more robust method of accessing the elements and the page container properties through the DOM node method or could you suggest a better logic based plan of action to go from nav bar to page manipulation to cookie, etc..
I hope I have conveyed clearly enough my dilemna
All ideas greatly accepted..
Thank you

You use a few CSS files (cascade style sheets .css).
You can then switch between them using either PHP and cookies, or Javascript and cookies.
I mention cookies because it will remember the setting when they return back each time.
You can use "alternate" stylesheets, switching between them at will.
All of your font sizes, colors, layout, etc. is defined in those CSS files.
You can even have a "print page" style if you want ... for a nice paper printout.
With CSS, you can also choose to "hide" images.
It basically gives you total control over all pages, as each page can use the same CSS stylesheet.

"Nexus" #99, coming this July |
"I remember being on the Madison, Wisconsin campus, learning how to draw better and trying to figure girls out," Rude told CBR News, reflecting on the days of Nexus' creation. "My inspiration was everything from my childhood and teenage years. I was really into Jack Kirby and Marvel's "Master of Kung Fu" book. Baron and I were both huge Bruce Lee fans."
"Dude and I went to a meeting with [Capitol City founders] Milton Griepp and John Davis and we showed them what we had, which was not superheroes," recalled Mike Baron. "'Give us a costumed superhero,' Milt said. The statement galvanized me, I don't know why. In retrospect it was obvious." Baron and Rude found their hero five hundred fictional years into the future, on a distant moon called Ylum. There lived Heratio Hellpop, the godlike figure known as Nexus the Executioner.
"Nexus" #99, pages 1-4 |
"I began to look for elements that would make the character dramatic," Baron explained. "Make him a killer. Every time he shows up, someone will die. Inbuilt drama. Now if only we could carry that drama convincingly...." The method by which Baron accomplished this has gone on to become one of the best loved premises in comics. Plagued by visions and nightmares of destruction and mass murder, Nexus is compelled to seek out the killers from his dreams and punish them for their brutal and tyrannical ways. Feared and loved in equal amounts by the people of Ylum and the galaxy at large, Horatio laments his role in the universe and wishes to live peacefully with his wife Sundra and their son, whose birth prompts the events of "Space Opera."
"When last we saw Nexus, Sundra was seven months pregnant," Baron said. "I wanted to begin the new story ten years later, with the baby already ten years old, but Dude convinced me we had to maintain continuity. The story picks up with the imminent birth of Nexus' son. Ylum's comity is being severely tested by the Elvonics, who wish to remake society in their own image." One of many cultures who coexist on Ylum, the Elvonics are a fanatical, largely anti-technology sect who believe Nexus' son to be a kind of anti-Christ.
"Such a bunch of charmers," remarked Rude. "I won't mention the name Baron came up for the little guy. It's too funny." The Elvonics' efforts to kill Nexus' child ignite a civil war on Ylum, which puts the pragmatic Nexus in the position of having to decide which peoples can remain on the moon and which peoples have got to go. Along these lines, Nexus stories have always been very dense, intellectually, keeping readers thinking, talking, and often debating. "Hopefully, Nexus will be just as you remember it," said Rude. "What's a decade in the scheme of things?"
"Nexus" #99, pages 5-7 |
"'Nexus'' purpose is to entertain," Baron continued. "But within that mandate, 'Nexus' reflects humanity in all its squalor and glory. 'Space Opera' raises issues that will be immediately familiar to every reader. Not just about politics and the constant struggle of competing interest groups, but on a personal level as well. What does it mean to be a man, a father, a mother, or a friend? How far would we go to protect our loved ones? What gives someone the right to tell someone else what to do?"
Rude added, "Baron and I just reflected the times in fictional, future circumstances. But I must admit, with the turmoil in Iraq the world seems even more bizarre than it did 10 years ago."
Steve Rude initiated the return of "Nexus" in a fever of creative inspiration. "He received an epiphany while meditating at Taliesin West," said Baron.
"Starting 'Nexus' again, I was nervous at first," Rude confessed. "I didn't want to let people down. My hands have thankfully steadied since then."
The new "Nexus" series launches with issue #99, continuing directly from the ten year old issue #98, and is published by Steve Rude's new endeavor, Rude Dude Productions, which will also produce new series of Rude's other creations including "The Moth" with "Nexus" inker Gary Martin.
Evolution of a "Nexus" cover by Steve Rude |
Visiting Baron and Rude in the resurrected world of Nexus are a number of their peers and creative progeny. Novelist F. Paul Wilson (author of the "Repairman Jack" series of books) and comics journalist Heidi McDonald (PW Comics Week, the Beat) are contributing to the festivities of Nexus' return with stories appearing in "Amazing Dude Tales," a sixty-four page anthology illustrated completely by Rude to be released after "Space Opera" concludes. Additionally, "Nexus" #100 will feature an origin story written by Nexus superfan Joe Casey.
Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada professes his love for "Nexus" |
Casey's remarks were echoed by many of comics' biggest names including Joe Quesada and Erik Larsen. "Powers" co-creator Mike Avon Oeming declared, "'Nexus' made me what I am today. Baron and Rude are the reasons I do creator owned comics. Without 'Nexus,' there would be no 'Powers,' and one less creator out there. 'Nexus' is easily one of the best comic series ever, I can't wait to see it return!"
Neil Gaiman agreed, stating, "Learning that 'Nexus' is coming back is like hearing you're going home again after years in the wilderness."
Preliminary cover studies for "Nexus" #100 |
Few writers are lucky enough to have someone as gifted as Steve Rude draw their stories, and Rude's work is never better than when illustrating Baron's "Nexus" scripts. Despite the duo's tendency to clash publicly, Baron agrees that his and Rude's collaboration on "Nexus" brings out the best in their work. "Nexus is our baby," the writer said. "You always care more about your own children than someone else's."
"'Fruitful collaboration?'" Rude asked. "Sometimes it's more like throwing fruit. Baron and I are brothers no matter what we go through together. At least we agree on politics! I'm afraid we're very much stuck with each other."
"Initially, getting back together was really rocky," Baron confessed. "Dude had his ideas and I had mine. As always, the result is a synthesis of both. The working relationship has become much closer now and our disagreements aren't so heated."
Dark Horse's "Nexus Archives" |
Forged in the fire of the two creators' often tense dynamism, "Nexus: Space Opera" continues the series' grand tradition of examining philosophical and political dilemmas through the prism of sci-fi superhero spectacle. Baron characterizes the story as the "most intense" thing he's ever written. "It reflects everything I've learned about story-telling in the past few years, which is a lot. It's sleeker, meaner, and funnier than before. There are no dead spots. It pulses with life and veers wildly from mood to mood. It is unfailingly entertaining."
"Nexus: Space Opera" #1 ships this July from Rude Dude Productions. The deluxe "Nexus Archives," compiling the original ground breaking Nexus stories, are available from Dark Horse Comics.
Now discuss this story in CBR's Indie Comics forum.

Makes 2 servings
Approximate prep time: 35 minutes
Approximate cooking time: 10 minutes
- 4 medium zucchini, trimmed
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 4 TB. olive oil
- 6 medium white button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb. fresh shrimp, peeled and de-veined
- ¼ tsp. cayenne (optional)
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel zucchini lengthwise to create noodle-like ribbons. Alternatively, use a mandolin with a julienne plate, a julienne peeler or a vegetable spiralizer to make the "noodles."
- Place zucchini in a mesh strainer over a bowl or the sink. Sprinkle with sea salt, and toss with tongs (or use freshly washed hands) to make sure the salt covers the zucchini. Let zucchini sit for 20-25 minutes, occasionally tossing. Drain and discard any excess liquid.
- When "noodles" are drained, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and wait 15 seconds.
- Add mushrooms and garlic to the hot pan and sauté, stirring frequently for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened.
- Meanwhile, toss shrimp with cayenne pepper (if desired). Add to the mushroom mixture in the hot pan, along with cherry tomatoes. Sauté, stirring frequently for 1 to 2 minutes, or until shrimp are bright pink.
- Add zucchini and lemon juice and stir just to heat through. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Season with additional sea salt (if desired) and freshly ground black pepper.

This was great! I just finished making it for my family and they ate it up so fast, they were even looking for more! The julienne zucchini made a great substitute for pasta, the texture was very close to pasta! It was very delicious, I just added some Old Bay (I know it's not paleo) to the shrimp and my dad added some soy sauce to his plate. It tasted great even without soy sauce and was very filling. Great recipe!! I'm definitely going to make this again and share with friends.
In truth, I can't say that this recipe was excellent, but I didn't hold to it exactly. Here are the modifications I made:
-I used chicken instead of shrimp
-Red pepper flakes instead of cayenne.I only used the chicken because I already had a breast in the fridge and needed to cook it.
However, with all that in mind, that was an excellent dish! I've honestly never eaten that much zucchini in one sitting, mostly because I thought I wasn't a big fan. Since this dish, I'd have to say I'm a big zucchini fan!
Hubby doesn't like spicy dishes. I added black pepper instead of the cayenne during cooking. I put cayenne on my portion after it was done. It was pretty much flavorless, though. Not a favorite. Probably won't make it again.
Made this last night. It's a great, quick meal. I added some chopped flat leaf parsley at the end with the lemon juice for some extra flavor.

As you navigate the boardwalk on a hot summer day it's easy to ignore the human landmines that line the beach if you have the Volcom Women's Coaster Hobo Purse. Just pull out your sexy, oversized shades and avoid eye contact with the creepy dudes that actually live 'at' the beach. Ah, but then there's the slim chance that one of those sleeping on a bench is actually a billionaire on a bender; in that case there's plenty of room in the Coaster Hobo for a long tank or a cardigan when you take him out for coffee.

.- The Virginia Catholic Conference (VCC) has urged the passage of a proposed budget amendment to restrict state funding of abortions, saying it is an "unprecedented opportunity" to eliminate the vast majority of state-funded abortions.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell proposed the amendment, which will be considered by the Virginia General Assembly on Wednesday.
A press release from the VCC said that Virginia has funded abortions "for reasons that go well beyond even what federal and state statutes require."
The Catholic bishops of Virginia "strongly support" the amendment, urging Catholics to ask their legislators to vote in favor of the amendment and to alert other Virginians to the need to pass it. Its website provides a form for Virginians to contact their legislators.
The VCC said "countless lives" can be saved, possibly more than 100 per year.
"In prayer and in public, your voices are urgently needed to bring Gospel values to bear on decisions that literally determine life and death!" the Conference said.

David Fincher's '20,000 Leagues' Is Dead In the Water But His 'Dragon Tattoo' Sequel Is Still On Fire
Movie News By Rob Hunter on July 18, 2013 | Comments (4)No, I will not be apologizing for that title. David Fincher is having a pretty newsworthy week thanks to the recent confirmation that his follow-up to 2011's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo will be another literary thriller adaptation. He's heading into pre-production on Gone Girl based on Gillian Flynn's bestseller with star Ben Affleck and an as-yet unnamed female lead, but while that's exciting news it leaves a couple questions hanging limply in the air. Will we still see the Dragon Tattoo sequel, The Girl Who Played With Fire hit screens in the near future? And for the love of god can we finally sink the idea of Fincher wasting his time on a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea remake once and for all? Happily, the answer to both questions appears to be yes.
Is Daniel Craig Holding Up 'The Girl Who Played With Fire'?
Movie News By Jack Giroux on January 31, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe Girl Who Played With Fire hasn't exactly been a fast-tracked project over at Sony. Since the 2011 release of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, things have been slow on the sequel front. Screenwriter Steve Zaillian has a ready-to-go script, but Sony hasn't been keen on sinking another $90m into the project. That was the cost of the first movie, and while it did make over $230m worldwide, it wasn't the major hit everyone was hoping for. Now Sony has another reason – or possibly an excuse – to stall. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daniel Craig 's asking price for the sequel is too high for their taste. They didn't specify how much Craig wants, but coming off the billion dollar success of Skyfall, it's logical to guess he wants a good chunk of change. Billion dollar box office aside, why would Sony give in? Craig isn't exactly a box office star, he's James Bond. Looking over his recent filmography, Dream House, Cowboys & Aliens, The Golden Compass, Defiance, and The Invasion, none of those films proved Craig's presence equal success when he's not playing an iconic spy.
You'll Get Jack Ryan in 2013 But Will Have to Wait on That Second 'Dragon Tattoo'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on August 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentApparently Sony is skittish after hearing about bacterially infected tattoo ink because the studio won't be rushing the sequel to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo out of the gate. Or, you know, maybe it's because the first flick – helmed by David Fincher – didn't make a huge pile of cash. According to Entertainment Weekly, The Girl Who Played With Fire is still being written by Steve Zaillian, but it was sort of obvious at this point that the movie wouldn't make a 2013 release. Apparently the aim is for 2014, but Fincher hasn't signed on yet. It's his job if he wants it, so make of it what you will that he hasn't agreed to it at this point. Perhaps it's simply a matter of seeing a finished script. As far as movies that we will get to see next year, Deadline Hollywood is reporting that the Jack Ryan reboot (creatively titled Jack Ryan (which means they dropped the "of Mars" part)) will hit theaters late into 2013. It sees Chris Pine taking over the iconic character created by Tom Clancy, as well as Keira Knightley co-starring and Kenneth Branagh pulling double duty as director and Russian villain. With any luck, that means he'll be twirling his moustache on screen and in the video village. Paramount, unsurprisingly, is looking to build a franchise here, so I want to officially suggest they begin the contract negotiations necessary to see a Bond/Bourne/Ryan crossover film because it would be amazing.
Get Your Piercings Ready for 'Dragon Tat-two'
In Development By Scott Beggs on January 3, 2012 | Comments (5)Sony isn't slowing down on its adaptations of Steig Larsson's best-selling novels, so according to Entertainment Weekly, we'll get a healthy dose of Lisbeth Salander and The Girl Who Played With Fire soon. Undoubtedly, unless the second one struggles worse, we'll have The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest soon after that. Apparently there was some question as to the plan when The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo didn't perform at insanely high levels. So far, the $90m-budget film has scored $72m worldwide, which isn't all that great, but it's still early in its life as a release at two weeks old. It's not the crazy phenomenon that the Niels Arden Oplev flicks, but lightning so rarely strikes the same franchise twice. No matter what a studio believes. Checking the scoreboard, Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig are both signed up for two more movies, Steve Zaillian is already working on the script for the second film, but David Fincher is not secured. Maybe he'll come back, maybe they'll need to find a new director. Either way, the train is leaving the station and headed for a late 2013 release. Would you want to see Fincher stay on?
Movie News After Dark: Stallone's Bullet Abs, The Best of Mondo and Our Cinematic Year: 2011
Movie News By Neil Miller on January 2, 2012 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news column that is about to turn 1-year old. As a digital entity, it always knew this day would come. It's a matter of deduction, really. As a sentient being, it knows that each day is a blessing. Each night, however, is a curse — a curse full of delicious movie-related links. We begin this evening with a shot of Sylvester Stallone in Bullet to the Head, a new actioner from famed action director guy Walter Hill. What's impressive about this image — beyond the fact that it features a man who, at this point, is old enough to receive Social Security — is that Stallone continues to look younger and leaner than ever. There's something fishy about it. And whatever drugs he's on, I want some, too.
David Fincher Will Reluctantly Shoot 'Dragon Tattoo' Sequels Back to Back
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 19, 2011 | Comments (11)Anybody who has either read Stieg Larsson's Millenium Series or seen the original film adaptations directed by Niels Arden Oplev and Daniel Alfredson knows that David Fincher's upcoming film The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is going to have two potential sequels after its release. The question is, will he pass the torch to another director to make the English language versions of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and The Girl Who Played With Fire like Oplev did, or will he take them on himself? Ace Showbiz reports that Fincher spoke on this very issue during a recent press release, and though he doesn't sound all that thrilled with having to make Dragon Tattoo sequels, he's probably going to do it anyway. He plans on making them the same way you pull off a bandage though, in one quick motion so that he can be done with it.
This Week in Blu-ray: The Sound of Music, Alien, Back to the Future, Toy Story 3 and More!
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on November 2, 2010 | Comments (7)Last week, I picked perhaps the worst week of the year to take a break from This Week in Blu-ray. As you will see in this week's entry, two or three of the most impressive releases of the year hit store shelves. And it's likely that they – the likes of Alien, Back to the Future and Hausu – have already made their way into your collection. I will be talking about them anyway, dear reader. For those of you who need a little extra nudge, here it comes. I also have plenty to say about this week's releases, including a few deliciously crafted releases for some legitimate cinematic classics. Julie Andrews sings, Dick Van Dyke flies through the air and Bing Crosby tap-dances with Danny "F**kin'" Kaye as our weekly Blu-ray buying budget empties faster than our tear ducts during the final act of Pixar's Toy Story 3. Give it up, Blu-ray lovers, it is perhaps the most magical time of year. Also, This Week in DVD host Rob Hunter stops buy to review a few releases that were well off my radar screen. And he does so with gusto!
Join us each week as Rob Hunter takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all costs. And remember, these listings and category placements are meant as informational conversation starters only. But you can still tell Hunter how wrong he is in the comment section below. This week sees more Buy recommendations than we've ever had before! (I think.) And they include an ass-kicking serial killer flick from South Korea (The Chaser), a John Carpenter classic (Dark Star), and the brilliant new Back To the Future trilogy release. Others worth Renting or Avoiding include The Girl Who Played With Fire, Altitude, Winter's Bone, Lake Placid 3, and more.
Foreign Objects: The Girl Who Played With Fire (Sweden)
Features By Rob Hunter on July 8, 2010 | Comments (4)Stiegg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy continues to dominate the New York Times bestsellers lists just as it did across Europe, and the film adaptations are doing brisk business as well. The first film, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (review here), didn't top the US box-office (it is subtitled after all), but it did very well in limited release. It appeared on DVD and Blu-ray this week and both formats currently sit near the top of the sales charts. The inevitable US remake is still in pre-production and cast speculations run rampant, but for those of us who don't mind reading while we watch the second film in the Swedish trilogy is about to reach our screens. The Girl Who Played With Fire picks up roughly a year after the conclusion of Dragon Tattoo, and our two leads have gone their separate ways. Once-disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) is back in the saddle both as co-publisher of Millennium Magazine and as occasional sex buddy with his long time magazine partner, Erika Berger. He hasn't seen the odd and fiercely intelligent Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) for quite some time and is unsure why she left and where she's gone. For those of you with short-term memory loss, Dragon Tattoo saw Blomkvist convicted of libel and decide to take on a forty year-old missing person case while he awaits sentencing. His investigation crosses paths with Salander and the two join forces and genitals to solve the case and stop a present-day killer.

My German Shepherd is blowing his hair now, started a couple days ago. I know this happens twice a year, but usually in the spring & fall. HeÆs a 95% indoor dog, so I realize his fur doesnÆt always shed seasonally.
We still have snow on the ground and itÆs cold out, maybe heÆs a month early? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My GSD mix started shedding last month. Luckily, my DIL got me a Furminator knock off comb(A Furbuster) and I can keep the shedding to a twice daily brush minimum. That thing makes a HUGE difference, and Max loves the combing. |
- Posted by cindyandmocha (My Page) on Tue, Feb 23, 10 at 0:40
My Rusty is blowing coat right now too. And yes I think its a few months early. I second the "furminator" although I don't use it faithfully. It's a really cool tool. |
My dogs and cats and the horse are all shedding now, I think it has to do more with the lengthening days than weather |
My dog has been in full bloom for 2 weeks |
- Posted by carmen_grower_2007 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 24, 10 at 13:20
Our lab is shedding now also. I have noticed this with former pets and always wonder why so early when we still have lots of cold weather to come? She is outside lots in the daytime and it would seem she would need that coat. |
It is normal for this time of year. Usually ground hog day is the time the fur starts flying |

Watergate Leak Was Mark Felt's Attempt to Climb Up Career Ladder, Expert Says
Holland claims that Felt, an F.B.I. official, was basically using Woodward in his quest to ascend to the role as the bureau's director. "He thought he was the natural heir because effectively [J. Edgar] Hoover was suffering from old age, and Felt, in the last year of Hoover's life, was running the bureau," Holland says.
But, to his chagrin, after Hoover's death, Nixon named L. Patrick Gray as acting director. Undeterred, Felt started to give Woodward information about the Watergate break-in, hoping that would make Nixon think Gray was not doing a good job. Holland says his scheme worked at first, as Nixon began to lose faith in Gray . . . but, of course, it all backfired when Felt's intel soon directly implicated Nixon in the Watergate scandal, and the White House, according to Holland, subsequently learned who was doing the leaking. If this was a fable about animals, now would probably be the spot for a moral about a fox learning that a little ambition can be a good thing, but overzealousness can lead to the entire forest getting destroyed, or something like that.

Common Knowledge
Varisco's book is the first to undertake a comprehensive reappraisal of Orientalism in the light of all that has subsequently been written about it. Although recognizing that Said's book was in its time stimulating and pathbreaking, Varisco mounts a sustained and unrelenting assault on what he insists was Said's flawed methodology, his skewed handling of literary evidence, his lack of adequate historical knowledge, and his distorted and tendentious conclusions. This book will enrage Said's many admirers and win the applause of his many detractors. Either way, it is an important and impressively documented work, which deserves a wide audience.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
It's displaying the $124.99 price that someone else just posted about for the 16GB. And it's showing that for both the Individual and Family plan options. I'm on a Family Plan, so that's the one I would have to choose...but trying to figure out how this would work. Also, that last time I spoke to someone at a Verizon store they told me that if I upgrade my phone that it would change the ENTIRE family plan such that my dad (who also has a Droid right now, like me) would lose his unlimited data and the costs for the basic phones for my mom & grandmother would increase to Verizon's $30/ea for a basic phone (with mine & my dad's changing to the $40/ea) and the whole plan for everyone would switch over to the shared 2GB data plan (for $60/mo). Is there any way to prevent this to happen if just I want to upgrade my phone? I don't want to screw the entire plan by my needing to upgrade a phone. As my dad would make me pay any increased costs above what he's paying now. |
I was just thinking about if I should sign up for the $75 upgrade and wait until January to get the phone. I guess that's a moot point now. Sigh. It seems that AT&T, Sprint and T-mobile offered great deals on the S3 more widespread than Verizon. Maybe something will come along before Christmas. |
The other deals I know of: 1) $1 from Sam's Club ... but requires that you have a Sam's Club nearby, that you have a paid membership, and that the store has inventory. Deal may be dead. 2) $50 from Staples ... but requires that you have a Staples that sells cell phones (only around 10-15 states, do). 3) $130 from Wal*Mart with a $100 gift card. However, this requires that you regularly shop at Walmart to make the deal work ... otherwise you have $100 tied up in a store that you don't shop at. Options 1 and 2 were nonstarters for me. Only option 3 worked ... and worked well, as we do our grocery shopping at Walmart. That made it a $30 phone options for us. But, that brings us to your other point:
Two solutions: 1) If you have a basic phone that is eligible for an upgrade, you can upgrade that phone to a smartphone. However, you keep that basic phone on the basic phone number. Then, you activate your new GS3 against your smartphone phone number. That keeps everything on your existing plan. No changes. I've had two Verizon reps offer this solution to me when I called ... ironically, they seem to want to help customers keep their unlimited data plans. 2) Switch your phone from $29.99 unlimited data to a 2GB data plan for $30. Keep the rest of your Friends & Family Plan the same. That's not shared, but 2GB for each phone. So, it's a wash and you didn't change from $10 basic to $30 basic. Now, just upgrade your existing smartphone to the GS3. You did, however, go from unlimited to 2GB. Verizon lets you look at your historic data usage, and any verizon rep can look it up for you, too. I was using ~0.6 GB/month. Why you'd even think about doing this option is explained below ... Problems: 1) Walmart can't do this, though I suppose it could be YMMV. It's too complicated for them ... they need to tie the new phone to the number immediately. They have to select a data package from a list of alternatives ... and unlimited doesn't show up anymore. So, they can't upgrade smartphone to GS3, because your phone's data plan isn't current. If they use the basic phone number as the upgrade path, then they'll want to again point the phone to the data package -- either requiring that basic phone to upgrade to a data package or, again, requiring you to switch to share everything. It seems that the Walmart system isn't nimble enough to pull it off. Verizon can do this for you, but not Walmart. So, it kills the deal, as Verizon is charging the full MSRP for the phone. 2) Walmart can do this one. Barely. The 2GB plan allows them to select something that is current. It still took 1.5 hours and 3 (yes, 3) separate calls to Verizon technical support to pull off the feat. Just did this Saturday night. So, as with all things in life, it comes down to time versus money. Will you spend the ridiculous amount of time required to save the $170 on the new phone ($30 at Walmart vs. $200 at Verizon) while not incurring higher plan rates? Good luck. |
Target (via targetmobilestore.com) has the S3 for Verizon for $99 (new w/2 year plan) or $149 (upgrade with 2 year plan) - but comes with a $50 target gift card, so you could say it's $49 and $99 - and they seem to be in stock. I'm tempted to go for this.
The are charging a $30 upgrade fee, is that normal? -- nix that .. no $30 fee, not sure where I saw that. |
As for the unlimited data, I am also losing it. Practically speaking, I think it is dead for all of us going forward although some methods to prolong it have been supposedly successful the last 6 months. Just a fact of life I guess.
I see that Amazon changed the price. I pulled the trigger yesterday on the blue 16gb for $74.99 upgrade. It shows $124.99 for me now.. I just logged into Amazon and it still says ship date of 1-9-13 so I've got at least another month to try to find a better deal (and cancel this) but at least I've got this deal in my back pocket. Thanks for all the updates and alternatives, guys... the Amazon is still the best deal for me but I'm hoping something else comes along still. |
I wonder if something better will come along, I see Target still has the phone for $99 (after the $50 gift card and w/2 plan), so I'm tempted to go for it. Free evall period and return shipping for 14 days (you have to call in that period, you have 21 days to return it). Free FedEx 2 day shipping, so I guess I could have the phone in hand by the end of this week .. very tempting. |

Morrigan Aensland Cosplay
Morrigan Aensland is a video game character from the Darkstalkers series of fighting games developed by Capcom. She was introduced in the 1994 game Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, and has since appeared in every game in the series, as well as in multiple video games outside the Darkstalkers franchise. Widely perceived as the most popular Darkstalkers character and one of Capcom's flagship characters, Morrigan is a succubus who is very vain and lives for little more than the excitement of battle. While Demitri officially fills the role, it has often been suggested and implied that Morrigan is the main character of the Darkstalkers series, due to her importance in the overall story as well as her many appearances outside of her game series.

Zac Efron Chooses Cars, Girls Over Family Business in 'At Any Price' (VIDEO)
A new trailer for the film, also starring Dennis Quaid and Heather Graham, hit the web on Friday.
Zac Efron may be all bundled up on the New York set of his new romantic comedy these days, but in his upcoming drama At Any Price, the situation is quite the opposite.
In the new trailer for the new Ramin Bahrani film, unleashed by Sony Pictures Classics on Friday, Efron strips down to a tank top in several scenes, gets sweaty in another, and makes out with Heather Graham in the next.
Efron, 25, is Dean Whipple, son of Henry Whipple (Dennis Quaid), an Iowa seed farmer who wants his firstborn to continue the family business.
The problem? Henry wants to race cars and one day, compete in Nascar.
In September, following the film's screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, Roger Ebert called the picture "a brave, layered film that challenges the wisdom of victory at any price."
"Both of its central characters would slip easily into conventional plot formulas, but Bahrani looks deeply into their souls and finds so much more."
At Any Price opens in April.
What do you think of Zac Efron's latest role? Watch the trailer for 'At Any Price,' above, and weigh in below.

Review: Freak Booth applies pinch, twirl, and expand filters to faces to distort them
Twist and distort images to make them look "freakish" on your iPhone.
Freak Booth is a free app that allows you to apply distorting filters on portrait-style images on your iPhone. The result is rarely much more than a pinch or expansion of the face due to the limited number of filters; and while the app is generally very easy to use, the number of options never overcomes the lack of depth in how they are used.
When you open Freak Booth for the first time, you can choose or take an image with the camera and then load it into the app. From there, you can apply the targeting reticule to the screen and then choose the style of filter you'll use -- pinch, expand, or twist. Tap the "Apply" button to apply the filter and it will be applied to one degree. You can move the target, reapply the filter, or change it to another filter from this screen, all of which can be done very quickly. When done, you can export to the camera roll or share on Facebook or Twitter. The interface is a bit cramped and there are few options to choose from, but everything works generally as advertised. The problem is that many of the tweaks feel like variations of the same theme; and without other editing options, it can lose its appeal after a while.
Freak Booth does what it promises and distorts photos with a few quick taps, but it doesn't offer nearly enough ways in which to make these distortions, so you may find it is not as deep or as effective an app as you would like for your purposes, especially since a lot of free editing apps will also offer those filters.

I have cats that have discovered small snags in my aging window screens and when the windows are open, have decided to make their own pet doors. I'm hoping to find something super tough that I can use to replace all these screens. I do not want to keep replacing them. And I think if they are sturdy and 100% intact, then they (cats) wont bother with them, well this is what I'm hoping anyway!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Stainless steel insect screen (sometimes referred to as security screen) is available but it may not work in your existing screen frames. Just google the phrase "stainless steel insect screen" (without the quotes) and you will get a lot of hits. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Fri, Dec 4, 09 at 10:09
The high visibility screening materials out there (Pella calls it Vivid View while Andersen calls it something else) is a stainless steel mesh. It is going to be sturdier than fiberglass but much, much more expensive. I am not sure where you can get it in rolls whereas fiberglass is very easy to find. I think you will be better off with fiberglass and a screening tool. |
