DFL Stops Republican Effort to Uphold Legislative Authority
Again without notice on the publicly available agenda documents, the Senate took up the confirmation votes for several major commissioners, including Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius, about whom we raised many significant concerns in our last alert. The Senate Republican Caucus deserves great thanks and congratulations. Despite being in the minority and having several other candidates about whom they could have raised concerns, they decided to take their stand by discussing in detail two of the many statutory violations and constitutional sidesteps that we listed in that update in order to make the very necessary points about this commissioner's violation of separation of powers and the rule of law.
The effort was led by Senator Sean Nienow, Ranking Minority Member for the Education Finance Division, who made a motion to re-refer the appointment to the Education Committee until the Administrative Law Judge Barbara Nielson finishes ruling on whether the DOE under this commissioner has violated the statutes covering the extensive rewriting of the standards and benchmarks. He did an excellent job of explaining how it was not about the social studies standards or qualifications, but how important it was to delay the vote until the judge ruled in order to uphold legislative authority. He was ably assisted by Minority Leader David Hann, Ranking Member on the Education Policy Committee, Carla Nelson, as well as Senators Paul Gazelka and Scott Newman. They effectively argued against the misstatements of Education Committee Chairwoman Patricia Torres Ray and Senator Dick Cohen. Ultimately, however being in the minority was the deciding factor, and the motion to re-refer was defeated on a vote of 26-39 and the confirmation going through on a vote 45-20.
Please see below for details such as roll call votes, links to the video, summary, and quotes. More importantly, please contact and thank Senate Minority Leader David Hann (651-296-1749) and Senator Sean Nienow (651-296-5419), as well as the others listed and your own senator if appropriate (info here). This incident gives us hope that there are senators that won't roll over and play dead and that are willing to do what is right even if in the minority. Let us keep encouraging our legislators to stand on these important principles!
Education Commissioner About to be Confirmed w/o Notice & Despite Multiple Issues
With almost no forewarning to allow the public to prepare testimony, the Minnesota Senate Education Committee recommended the confirmation of Education Commissioner Brenda Casselius. Although committee Republicans asked some good questions, there was ultimately little that they could do given Democrat control. The nomination was forwarded to the full Senate on a voice vote with only slight dissent. We have just found out that the full Senate vote will likely occur tomorrow, Monday, February 4th. Although it is unlikely to stop her final confirmation, Education Liberty Watch wants the public and the legislature to conduct the upcoming vote with their eyes wide open as to the alarmingly long list of legal and constitutional violations and sidesteps committed by this commissioner. Please consider forwarding this list to your senator (contact info here), regardless of party, so that they know what they are doing as they cast their vote, and so that you may hold them accountable in the future.
- Constitutional Consistency: Both of the major Department of Education documents submitted to the judge during the standards hearing process (Statement of Need and Reasonableness SONAR and their Response to testimony) fail to mention the statutory requirement that the standards "be consistent with the Constitutions of the United States and the state of Minnesota." (120B.021, Subd. 2b3). Our testimony noted, "The focus on globalization and reliance of the [standards] committee and the SONAR on a document titled "Preparing Citizens for a Global Community" and making the statement on page 35, "Several leading social studies sources support the need for students to develop skills to become effective global citizens," seems to be emphasizing loyalty to entities and governance outside of the US and is inconsistent with the US Constitution."
- Benchmarks: These are the specific smalller ideas under each standard. After the big fight over standards and benchmarks in 2003 and 2004, Minnesota Statute 120B.023, subdivision 1(c) was passed that says, "Once established, the commissioner may change the benchmarks only with specific legislative authorization and after completing a review under subdivision 2." There has clearly been no act of the legislature to do this and the Department's response to this concern basically says that because it is more convenient for them to do so and because they have done it for other subjects, they may disobey the law.
- Revise and Align: Minnesota Statute 120B.023, subdivision 2(f) states, "The commissioner in the 2010-2011 school year must revise and align the state's academic standards and high school graduation requirements in social studies to require that students satisfactorily complete the revised social studies standards beginning in the 2013-2014 school year. The commissioner must implement a review of the academic standards and related benchmarks in social studies beginning in the 2019-2020 school year." As stated in Senator Hann's written testimony (page 12) and Senator Olson's hearing request(page 1), the Department has gone far beyond the specific and limited authority of "revise and align." They have done a wholesale rewrite.
- Academic Rigor: Minnesota statute, 120B.02, subd, (b)(1) states that, "the rule is intended to raise academic expectations for students, teachers, and schools." The extensive testimony at the public hearing on the social studies standards by subject matter experts and college professors shows that these new standards are far from rigorous. In addition, the social studies standards are linked to the Common Core English Standards, which have been evaluated to be at a 6th to 8th grade level.
- College Readiness: As stated in Minnesota statute 120B.03 and explained on page 30 of the SONAR, the standards by law are to "identify the academic knowledge and skills that prepare students for postsecondary education, work and civic life in the twenty-first century." Four current or past college professors and content matter experts have extensively testified that these standards do not comply with that legislative intent, including a college professor that teaches future teachers (MacPherson) and a former professor that has been involved in standards development for many states and test development for NAEP and CIVITAS (Fonte).
Dedicated Social Studies Petition Link Plus Media & More Testimony
Thanks to you, we are well on our way to collecting hundreds of signatures to present to the judge calling for a halt to the horrific proposed social studies standards. However, we have also received reports that some people were having trouble finding the link to the petition in our last email. So, just to be clear, the dedicated link is:
There are buttons on that site to post the petition link to your followers on Facebook and Twitter. We would be grateful if you would do that as well. We will stop collecting petition signatures at 10 AM CST on January 9th in order to be able to get the letter and signatures ready to submit. The deadline for submitting written comments to Judge Nielson at firstname.lastname@example.com is 4:30 PM CST on January 9th. A link to the standards and other details may be found here. The standards of greatest concern to us may be found here. The hearing report contains some of the excellent testimony. See below for more quotes and links to other testimony to which we have received access, as well as Education Liberty Watch and Dr. Karen Effrem in the media. Thanks and please keep it up!!
Excerpts of Hearing Testimony of Dr. Ryan MacPherson [Note- See also Dr. MacPherson's extensive and scholarly written testimony]
"…As a college professor, I agree with Dr. Debbi Daniels, who has stated that these revised standards will not equip students for college. Minnesota statutes require that public education prepare students for college, but these new standards will fail to fulfill that legislative mandate…"
"…In summary, the current standard covering the American Revolution concisely summarizes that historic episode, whereas the proposed revision introduces error and confusion…"
"… Suffice it to say, the proposed revisions are academically inferior to the current standards. The Minnesota Department of Education has claimed in its SONAR document to have followed the pattern of several states that it identifies as "exemplary." But the standards of those "exemplary" states in fact include Western Civilization as a key organizing principle and assign specific standards to the Renaissance and Reformation.
I also concur with Mrs. Quist, who emphasized the distinction between natural rights and so called individual rights. Natural rights are part of human nature, whereas individual rights can be created or destroyed by government. One person who understood this well was John F. Kennedy. I quote from his inaugural address, where he asserted that "the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God." Kennedy understood natural rights just as surely as Jefferson and Lincoln. The current standards teach this; the new revisions do not.
Moreover, I maintain that the Department of Education has failed to meet the required burden of proof to demonstrate that the proposed changes are either necessary or appropriate from a legal standpoint. The SONAR document insinuates that Minnesota will lose federal funding unless these new standards are adopted, but the Department has failed to show that the current standards fall short of federal and state requirements (other than the relatively simple matter of changing grade bands into grade-level benchmarks) or that these particular revision proposals are the most prudent means of complying with federal or state requirements."
Hearing Testimony of Alexandra Matyja (former citizen of Communist Poland) on Page 15 of PDF
"I believe American students should be competitive, and should rate at the top of the list compared to other countries. Sadly, currently we fall somewhere in the middle of the pack. Instead of these pro-global and anti-American standards why don't we raise the ceiling and the floor of the current student academic achievement? Instead of touting pro-globalism, why don't we emphasize and return to the values, morals, and principles upon which our Republic was founded? In just over 200 years, Americans have made more progress than the entire human race has done in over 5000 years. I propose that we concentrate on educating our students and developing their skills so they become more disciplined, responsible, and productive Americans, instead of more effective global citizens "
Written Testimony of Matt Abe (member of the 2004 Social Studies Standards Committee) on page 1 of the PDF:
"I am not suggesting that American history should be cleansed of the sins of our past. One of the most healing and encouraging developments in U.S. History instruction in the past ten years is the introduction of detailed instruction on the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and the concurrent distinguished U.S. military service of many Japanese Americans. As a History Day judge in the Wayzata School District, I have been gratified to see that student projects about these topics portray both injustice and justice, and how even a community oppressed by racism and bigotry can remain steadfastly patriotic, even challenging the majority to live up to the American ideals of The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and our Founders.
I implore the Department of Education to teach Minnesota's youth about the ideals of our country's founding, and challenge them to live up to those ideals. As Ronald Reagan said, 'Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.' Such instruction will also protect future generations from oppression. As Karl Marx is credited with saying, 'Take away a people's heritage and they are easily persuaded.'"

The shares tanked after their presentation at the IPAA Seminar today. I looked at the slideshow on the VNR website but couldn't see what disappointed analysts. Peers have not tanked--maybe a buying opportunity?Presentation is at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9Mzc2NTk2fENoaWxkSUQ9Mzc1MjIyfFR5cGU9MQ==&t=1What do you think?
actually, their presentation started at 1.35 ET, it started tankin' at 9:54 amheaded back up now as we speak, last trade was 24.20don't kid yourself, "they" can make it go down whenever they want
Hmm, let me see--market cap under $500M, daily trading volume averaging under 200K--I do believe you're correct,sir!Today's volume was about 300K shares, or 50% higher than average, implying that one or more larger holders were lightening up, I think. Some people are calling the tops for energy MLPs, mostly pipes, but VNR may have been swept into the same dustbin by a few holders. Not a concern unless you're a trader--or the selling continues.

The global chlor-alkali market is expecting volumes within each three main components, caustic soda, soda ash, and chlorine, to reach 79.8, 74.2, and 58.1 million tons respectively over the next five years, giving the industry total revenue of $88.6 billion by the year 2017.
Chlor-alkali produces three important chemical building blocks such as chlorine, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and sodium carbonate (soda ash). These blocks react with other compounds to produce thousands of crucial products, which are used in various applications in day to day life such as energy-efficient building materials and solar energy panels, pharmaceuticals and crop protection products, electronics and fibre optics.
The drivers of the chlor-alkali industry are identified as high growth in developing regions, high demand in end-user industries, and high existing production capacities of chlor-alkali products. Most of the production capacity of chlor-alkali products exists in Asian region and high growth in their demand is mainly observed in developing countries. The high production capacities in the region also give flexibility to the manufacturers to scale up the production depending upon demand trends.
The US chlor-alkali market is benefiting from natural gas as more cost-competitive US PVC enters the export market.
The shale gas wave in North America is expected to boost growth for the chlor-alkali market as US polyvinyl chloride (PVC) producers take advantage of cheaper ethylene dichloride (EDC) - the feedstock for vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), which is used in making PVC.
Key players currently dominating the chlor-alkali market include The Dow Chemical Company (US), Akzo Nobel N.V. (Netherlands), Bayer AG (Germany), Solvay S.A. (Belgium), Olin Corporation (US), and Occidental Chemical Corporation (US).

Hartford — Connecticut's budget surplus this year, recently projected at $505 million, has dropped to $43.4 million, while next year's revenues are projected to come up $282 million short.
Taxpayers won't be getting a $55 rebate, and lawmakers will have to increase revenues, reduce spending or use creative techniques to balance next year's budget.
In an election year, the stakes are high, as Republicans say the Democrats' budget is full of gimmicks that will cause billion-dollar deficits after Election Day, while the governor's administration says it used conservative revenue projections and that it will balance the budget each year.
"I keep hearing the same thing: (residents) keep hearing from politicians about how there is a surplus or how the economy is getting better and most people say, 'Where? It's not getting better for me,' it's not getting better for their small business, it's not getting better for their family's budget," said state Sen. John McKinney, R-Fairfield, a candidate for governor. "This just now really eliminates any ability for the governor to go out and beat his chest about budget surpluses, solving the problems … because he hasn't solved the problems."
The governor's administration said on Wednesday that it used normal practices to calculate revenue estimates but were caught off-guard by the consensus revenue report.
Republicans said the $461.5 million revenue reduction speaks to how the administration and the Democrats have managed the state, including delaying debt payments, increasing borrowing and raising taxes by about $1.5 billion.
"The bottom line is — is the state of Connecticut better off today than it was four years ago?" said House Republican Leader Larry Cafero of Norwalk. "The resounding answer by every fiscal indicator is no."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced on Monday that the projected $505 million surplus would be down by several million dollars. His budget chief, Benjamin Barnes, said this was likely due to the expiration of George W. Bush-era tax cuts that encouraged people to claim capital gains in 2012 and likely discouraged them from claiming them in 2013 when taxes increased. On Wednesday, Barnes said the tax cut expiration was part of the loss, along with other factors.
This is the first time in Connecticut since the implementation of the income tax that the tax revenue estimates increased in January but decreased toward the end of the year, in April, Barnes said. The governor's budget office and the nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Analysis based their estimates on a year-over-year 5 percent increase in quarterly estimated payments — quarterly taxes filed by self-employed people and those who earn a significant portion of their income from capital gains — and a strong stock market, Barnes said.
"If you were to do a correlation of those two factors, over the life of the income tax, we should have been at a $700 or $800 million surplus this year," Barnes said. "This year, the $500 number was actually quite conservative compared to the trend you would have expected from those two pieces of information."
Despite the revenue drop, Barnes said tax withholdings for people who pay taxes every pay period continue to increase year over year by 2 percent, and as does the sales tax, which is a good sign.
The Democrats also said that other states' capital gains tax returns have been less than expected. Many other states are showing "double-digit drops" in April's capital gains, Barnes said.
It has been widely reported that New Jersey is facing a revenue shortfall of more than $800 million this year, in part from volatile capital gains tax revenue.
But besides capital gains revenue losses, the state's sales tax revenues were down by $22.6 million and corporation tax revenues were down by $44.2 million in April compared to January.
"People aren't making what we thought they would make, nor are they having the jobs we thought they would have," Cafero said. They also aren't spending what the state thought they would.
Both Republicans and Democrats agreed that everything was on the table going forward.
The state did borrow hundreds of millions to implement Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, an accounting method that matches income earned and expenses incurred in the same period, and deferred debt payments, which likely increases costs over the long-term.
Whether lawmakers will keep the gambling game keno in the state budget is also yet to be determined. Currently, the state's budget relies on about $19 million in revenue from keno, and earlier this month, Senate President Pro Tempore Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, said if it were to be removed, other revenues sources would have to be found.

The D.C. area can't support two teams? That's Peter Angelos' way of saying Baltimore can't support one.

What are the risks of a vaginal twin birth vs. Elective c-section twin birth?
Please be adults & realize even if you are anti-elective csection, not everyone is and that this is an information and support board.
I don't know that I have great advice for you - but my sister delivered twins, nearly full term -both were close to 7 pounds and she had an uncomplicated, easy delivery. If babies look good and are in a good position and your vag delivery was already easy, I would try to do it that way again and just see what happens.
This coming from the girl who's having a csection...
The most important things in my life call me Mama and Wife!

Hunter Logan - 11/1/06, Ayla Kristeen 4/16/13
I think it's a good idea to try for a vaginal delivery, but I thought twins were always delievered in an operating room just to be on the safe side. If I were you, I would attempt the vaginal delivery, but request it be in an operating room. Good luck!

If it were me, I would choose a vaginal delivery with the knowledge that a csection might become necessary in extenuating circumstances. (I'm not against elective c-sections, btw. I fully believe all women should have autonomy regarding their own decisions regarding birth.)
Sign it. Share it.
I'd probably ask this over on the Medical Questions, Worries and Complaints Board. Dr. Kincheloe would probably be able to give you statistics on it along with his informed opinion, and the ladies over there tend to be super-knowledgable on things like this.

A cord around the neck, aka: nuchal cord, is actually very common in all births. Roughly 25-30% of all births involve a nuchal cord. It is very rarely life-threatening. Both of my kids so far were born with nuchal cords.
If you are in a hospital, there will be a high risk team for you and nicu/ped team for each baby. As a pp said, you could request to try a vaginal birth in or near a surgical room if you want.
You have a proven pelvis, so that cuts out that complication from being an issue. If you can't handle it, you can request a surgical birth. I would not make the same decision if I were having twins.

NORPAC, BPA, And Cowlitz PUD Partner On Largest Ever Northwest Energy Efficiency Project
LONGVIEW, Wash., Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Executives from Weyerhaeuser, Nippon Paper Industries, Cowlitz County Public Utility District, and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) will gather today at the North Pacific Paper Corporation (NORPAC) facility to celebrate the largest industrial energy efficiency project in BPA history and one of the largest energy efficiency projects in the United States to date. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120111/AQ34535LOGO)When complete, the project is expected to save 100,000,000 kilowatt-hours per year. The energy savings from the completed project will save enough energy to serve approximately 8,000 Northwest homes. The first phase of the project was completed in June 2011 and the second and final phase is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2013. The project, referred to as a "Chip Pre-Treatment Interstage Screen Project," adds two new components to the NORPAC facility. The first change to the mill is the addition of the chip pre-treatment equipment. This equipment treats wood chips with steam and chemicals prior to refining the chips into pulp, resulting in reduced pulp bleaching and brightening costs. The second feature of the project is the inter-stage screening. Prior to the new screening process, wood chips were ground through two stages of refining. These refining machines are driven by numerous electric motors that require thousands of connected horsepower, which makes the refining process very energy intensive. The inter-stage screening process now allows paper-ready fibers (wood fibers that do not require additional refining) to bypass the second stage of refining, which results in significant electrical energy savings. "Energy efficiency is the first-choice, least-cost alternative for meeting increasing demand for electricity in the Pacific Northwest," says BPA Administrator Steve Wright. "This project serves to meet our twin goals of promoting a healthy economy and a healthy environment in the Northwest." NORPAC purchases power for its industrial operation through Cowlitz County PUD. Working through Cowlitz, BPA will fund installation of screening equipment between refiners at the paper mill. The new processes will reduce electricity and chemicals used in the refining process, reducing the environmental impact. BPA will fund about $21 million and Cowlitz County PUD will contribute up to an additional $3.9 million towards the project. The money contributed by both BPA and Cowlitz comes from their respective conservation funds, which provide financial incentives to their customers for the development and installation of electrical energy savings projects. NORPAC is funding the remaining $35 million of the $60 million project. "This project is a win-win," said Dan Fulton, president and chief executive officer for Weyerhaeuser. "NORPAC's energy-efficiency project will allow this mill to remain competitive in an increasingly challenging global economic market by significantly reducing the mill's energy costs and decreasing its environmental impact through reduction of energy consumption and chemical use onsite. We are thankful BPA and Cowlitz PUD have partnered successfully with us to make this remarkable energy-efficiency project a reality." In addition to significant energy and chemical use savings, the project created a surprise benefit. It allows NORPAC to produce a 92 bright ground wood sheet, a new product. This allows NORPAC to continue to diversify and expand the mill's portfolio of products. The mill's marketing effort for the new product, Norbrite 92, started in June of this year. "Local workers came up with a creative and innovative idea, researched it, engineered it and got it approved — and local workers helped build it," said Cowlitz General Manager Brian Skeahan. "All of this demonstrates that the people of Cowlitz County make this a good place to do business. This project helps secure NORPAC's place as a cornerstone of our local economy." About North Pacific Paper Corporation (NORPAC) NORPAC is a joint venture between Weyerhaeuser Company and Nippon Paper Industries. The facility began operations in 1979 in Longview, Washington. NORPAC produces newsprint and high brightness publication papers. The facility operates three machines that manufacture more than 750,000 tons annually and is the largest newsprint and uncoated groundwood printing papers facility in North America.

Google Grapples With YouTube
(WMG) Warner Bros. Records, News Corp.'s (NWS - Get Report) Fox and the Weinstein Co. are partaking in these services. Though more advertisers are going to experiment with YouTube, don't look for any huge shift in spending just yet, even though demand for video advertising is skyrocketing.Spending on online video is expected to hit $2.3 billion in 2010, about a tenfold increase from $265 million last year, according to data from eMarketer, making it the fastest growing area of Web advertising. Inventory is so tight for online video ads on Yahoo!, MSN and AOL that advertisers sometimes are buying spots on popular sites months ahead of time. YouTube, which declined to comment for this story, could benefit from the fact that companies may be experiencing difficulty finding spots for their Web commercials on the bigger sites, says Denise Garcia, an analyst with WR Hambrecht, who has buy ratings on Google and Yahoo!. "YouTube will benefit from the lack of inventory," she says. "There's not a lot of alternatives for video-based advertising." More and more video content is continuing to pour online. AOL said today that it will offer the exclusive Web premieres of two new NBC TV shows, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and "Twenty Good Years." Yahoo! recently added business-news videos to its financial news site. MSN also has been adding exclusive features, such as its behind-the-scenes look at the premiere for "The DaVinci Code" movie.Last month, YouTube unveiled what it described as "new advertising concepts," such as specialized channels on the site and specially designed ads on which users can comment.

My focus at The Times is on science and medicine and my training is in science -- I studied molecular biology on the graduate level at M.I.T. for a year and a half and have a masters degree in applied mathematics from the University of Maryland.
My work at The Times has led me to be a Pulitzer finalist twice -- for investigative reporting in 2000 and for explanatory journalism in 2010. Other writing awards include ones in 2010 from the Silurian Society for a series on the war on cancer, and from the Associated Press Sports Editors for writing about the Caster Semenya intersex controversy at the world track championships.
In previous years I have received awards from other groups, including the American Association of Health Care Journalists, and the University of Maryland, which gave me a Distinguished Alumnus Award. Bowdoin College gave me an honorary doctoral degree. And I was made a Kentucky Colonel, just like Col. Sanders.
I have written several books, including Rethinking Thin: The New Science of Weight Loss and the Myths and Realities of Dieting (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007), which was a finalist for the Quill book awards in 1997.
I have also lectured at various universities and medical schools.
Besides working for The Times, my passions include spending time with my family, reading literary fiction, distance running, road cycling, cooking and knitting.

Guardian is the manufacturer of the glass itself, but not the door assembly. See http://www.guardian.com/en/na/gd_002563.html I think the key to finding the proper sliding screen is going to be finding out the manufacturer of the assembly. Have you looked all around the door frame for a nameplate?
I solved a similar problem (cat scratching a low screen) by attaching a piece of clear acrylic plastic to the frame, just high enough to prevent damage, and still allowing ventilation through the upper part of the screen.

I just utilized Tester101's method of opening the door further and it worked perfectly. Just open the door as wide as it'll go and the locking gizmo disengages.
In my experience (midwest winters), storm windows are generally more for extra insulation purposes than severe storm protection. You can install exterior or interior storm windows, and they can be of varying degrees of sturdiness. For places that do have more extreme winds, you can buy windows that are engineered to absorb a hit from flying debris. I'm ...
I clamped two of four sides (left side and bottom, for example) to a workbench while I was doing them. Then I worked on the side that was away from the two clamped down sides. It's not so much about getting it taut as it is about getting it even...
You might want to look into some 3rd party retractable screen doors - there are a number of different manufacturers, and you can probably pick up a universal fit at your local home improvement store. I've seen a couple of these installed, and the good quality ones are pretty slick, and will handle kids & dogs - when hit, they simply retract. You should ...
You'll need pet resistant insect screening. I forget which one I used but it works really well. Holds up against cats clawing on it. I remember when I bought it there were two major brands but now it looks like St Gobain bought New York Wire according to this http://catproofwindowscreen.blogspot.com/p/new-york-wire-pet-d-fence.html You'll need spline. It ...
Storm windows and doors add an extra insulating layer for older (usually single-pane) windows. If the weather ever gets cold enough or hot enough to be uncomfortable as an interior temperature, you could probably benefit. You would have to weigh the cost of installation against the benefits that you might get in your area to decide if they're worth it. ...
Have you tried lubricating it? Seems worth a shot for the price before replacing the whole door.
Could be composite material. Pressure treated 2x4 would work. An adhesive with the appropriate fasteners will anchor it well. Don't know of other kits besides screentight. I would check your local home stores and online. You can roll your own but the end result may not be as taut as you'd like. Good luck.
I would recommend you build it yourself. None of the building supply versions that I've seen can stand up too much more than 3 years of weathering. They use cheap fasteners that rust and stain the second year. Self construction will allow custom size openings. Weaving is another possibility. Teak, ipe, redwood and cedar, in that order, would be my top ...
What you are looking for is called a Combination Storm/Screen Window, and most hardware stores can order exactly what you want or you can pick through the selection at The Home Depot: Window Screens is a wide variety of combination storm window/screens to pick from.
It is almost always diagonal measurement, from corner to opposite corner. Sometimes, they will refer to xx-class size (e. g. 45 inch diagonal-class, meaning "almost that size". Conventional screens are generally 4:3 width-to-height ratio. Wide screens are generally 16:9, occasionally 16:10 or other ratios.
I've had screen doors that were propped open with the brace and when people try to swing it shut without thinking, they end up bending the little metal brace itself, not allowing it to close. You can usually bend it back with a little shove but it probably won't shut as smoothly as before. If the little metal piece that keeps it open is stuck, then maybe get ...
What about velcroing through the screen, then sticking another piece on the back, basically making a velcro frame around the screen? This is hard to explain, here's a diagram: AAAAAAAAAA LLLLLLLLLL SSSSSSSSSS HHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA LLLLLLLLLL HHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAA FFFFFFFFFF The first 2 rows (AL) are one piece of velcro, loop side, with the ...
The adjustment is usually under on the wall part of the bracket. The bracket needs to be plumb in both planes (kind of left and right and then forward and backward). The better brackets are bolted back to the wall and then micro adjusted (via small adjustment grub screws) in all planes until absolutely spot on. Then assuming no play in the arm, all should ...
If you're building custom frames, take a scrap piece of the frame, cut it to the inside width of your frame, use it as a temporary support... like a cross bar... if you do not have extra material, or you're re-screening old frames, maybe a thin piece of wood will work for your temporary cross bar? Also, I like to use a T-square, it helps keep the frame ...
Just stick the hook side of the velcro to the window frames then press the netting onto the hooks directly
I found it! It's an Acorn Latch Kit. Thanks for the replies.
That type of handle usually means the the screen is "spring loaded" into the channel opposite where those handles are. It should slide "across" (like a sliding glass door) until the edge near the handle is free and you can then pull it inward. Or, in some cases, outward, per comment.
There may be an adjustment screw to counter the gravity on the articulated arm. The silver screw in the picture closest to the back of the TV comes to mind as being an adjustment, but then again, you may need to slip the covers off the bracket on the wall, loosen them up a turn, tilt the bracket the other way and tighten the screws back up. The down side to ...
It can be done if you make/find a screen door the right size. You would have to get a screen door track (top an bottom) and wheels to match that you groove into the bottom of door. There are all different set ups depends on the brand you get. EDIT:. You will have to measure it and order a door to size. Or get one a little bigger and plane/cut to ...
Is mounting a triangle shaped hardwood block to reduce or eliminate the 30 degree angle out of the question? I would lag-bolt it to the beam and then mount the ceiling mount to that in the usual manner. There are plenty of long extension monitor/TV ceiling mounts available which with the appropriate length, put the monitors at eye-level, but as you've ...
The easiest way is water (distilled) and microfiber cloth. There are tons of screen cleaners on the market that you can order though that are a little easiest to work with than water.
They are typically made of vinyl. Some people are stating here that it last them about 5 years so far. I'd expect 5-10 years. After 10 years, it probably will be brittle anyways. Just keep the chemicals away and wash with water only.
Don't get to hung up on the exact size the piece of screen needs to be. simply measure the width and height of the frame and buy a piece of screen large enough. Normally it comes in standard widths and cut to length. Once you lay and stretch the screen over your frame, install the spline on one end, stretch, install sides and opposite end. An inexpensive ...
Most of the deck brackets are installed board at a time, and the last bracket holds the next board. The Shadoe Track however is a continuous rail, with conventional screws from below. It can be set at any spacing.
My Dad used to use Ivory soap! It worked very well but with any thick lubricant it needed to be wiped off and replaced now and then because it would collect dirt. Use as little as possible to get the screen running smoothly along the track by moving the screen back & forth.
Did the door that was there when you moved in work ok? Could you just replace the screen in it?
I finally figured this out! The door is an American Craftsman, which is a contractors line of windows and doors by Andersen sold at Home Depot. You can buy the screen by itself at the Home Depot: American Craftsman, an Andersen Company 34-1/2 in. Aluminum White Insect Screen for Patio Doors The screen is a perfect fit in my door even though my door was ...

Lake Forest may raise, lower some speed limits
LAKE FOREST Speed limits could be lowered on 11 segments of city roadways and raised on two other stretches under a recommendation to be considered Tuesday by the City Council.
Under California's vehicle code, cities are required to re-evaluate speed limits at least every five years via a survey that takes into consideration a roadway's prevailing speeds, accident records and conditions.
An engineering firm that conducted the most recent engineering and traffic survey in Lake Forest reviewed 120 road segments.
Based on the results, the firm recommended lowering the limit on stretches of a number of major Lake Forest thoroughfares, including portions of Bake Parkway and El Toro Road. It also recommended raising the limit on portions of two smaller roadways.
Changing the 30 speed limit signs on the roads would cost about $7,500, according to a city staff report.
The new limits must be approved by the City Council and would take effect once the new signs are posted.
The council meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 25550 Commercentre Drive. See the agenda report at lakeforestca.gov.

IBM and Cisco battle remote attack vulnerabilities
This Article Covers
Risk management
Both IBM and Cisco are warning of vulnerabilities that remote attackers could exploit to cause denial of service and other problems. Administrators should apply available fixes to avoid security exposure.
IBM's HTTP Server is the latest victim of vulnerabilities due to OpenSSL flaws reported in November 2003. OpenSSL has flaws in handling invalid ASN.1 encodings that a remote attacker may leverage by using unusual ASN.1 tag values. The resulting deallocation of memory can allow denial of service and possible execution of arbitrary code.
The problem affects IBM HTTP Server versions 1.x and 2.x. IBM has provided fixes in the form of upgrades to version 1.3.x or 2.0.
A different vulnerability affects Cisco's Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and 7600 Series Internet Routers using the IP Security (IPSec) VPN Services Module (VPNSM). The VPNSM is a high-speed component that supplies infrastructure-integrated IPSec VPN services. Remote attackers using specially crafted Internet Key Exchange (IKE) packets can force the hardware to crash and reload, causing a denial of service.
The problem affects Cisco IOS versions 12.2SXA, 12.2SXB and 12.2SY using VPNSM. There are no workarounds to mitigate the problem, but Cisco is providing fixes. This issue with Cisco vulnerabilities is the latest of several in the past month.

The Approach
The ApproachProcessProcedure
Step 1
Extensively examining the latest trends, improvements and ideas that are ultimately used and/or referenced for each obstacle or endeavor.
Brainstorm / Formulate
'Brainstorming' ideas, strategizing solutions and creating multiple possibilities with more of an 'inside-out/out-of-the-box' approach to each project.
Content-centric strategy
By detailing every possible step needed to fulfill the objective, I can pin-point every possible outcome before progressing. Just don't expect miracles… I'm not there yet.
Step 2
Prototyping / Wireframing
Structuring elements of a potential website with vision in mind is fundamental to a projects success. Everything has a place… sometimes.
Interface design
Applying what was prototyped into a structurally usable experience. Beyond the color schemes and site maps are the elements every site needs.
Branding / Identity
Developing a 'face' to the name or vice-versa is what I represent. Long-term visions, forward thinking, and big-picture strategies separate the believers and the achievers.
Step 3
Front-end develop
Developing responsively optimized websites, tailored for all devices, ensuring the best experience for every potential user situation.
Quality Insurance (QA) testing is my highest priority during the final phase prior to production. Every pixel has a purpose… so don't waste space.
Maintaining one's presence takes work, and applying new ideas to existing ideas breed new possibilities. I'm an opportunist… so I'm open to almost anything.

Artist biography
English painter. He is generally ranked third in the hierarchy of 18th-century society portrait painters, after Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. His art is often repetitive and monotonous, yet at its best is characterised by great refinement, sensitivity of feeling, elegance of design and beauty of colour. As a society painter he typified late 18th-century English artists who, compelled by the conditions of patronage to spend their time in producing portraits, could only aspire to imaginative and ideal painting.

Hello to all, As you all Kno the 3DS didn't have to many big games the past couple of months except a few like NSMB2 and Paper Mario SS. We'll be getting a few great titles in the next coming months. But what about other titles? I keep hearing rumors on a remake about LoZ MM, which personally i dont care for but can help nintendo with its sales.
So this question cross my mind, Zelda and Starfox had a remake from the 64 to 3DS, Maybe Nintendo's bringing back another game to the system? Even the DS had Mario64!
My question is if they did make a remake and added some new features to it, What would you like it to be???
★ My Mains For Super Smash Bros for WiiU/3DS ★
My FC (3DS) 1306 5037 7692
Bets⇒ Wins: 9 Losses: 2
Pavolink~ I lose if SSB 3DS sells less than 200k FW in japan. We all kno i already won Very Easily though :)

My DD has been doing this since she was 15 months. She started doing it on our leg and when we moved she would get upset. She moved from our leg to this cute Minnie Mouse chair we got her. My DH recently put it in the garage after warning her to stop, She gets really into it and starts to sweat. Do any of your children do this behavior? We asked our pediatrician and he said it's normal and not to worry. Our 20 month B/G twins don't do this at all and we don't want her to give them any ideas to start. Now she sometimes does it on the side of the sofa and we tell her to stop bc she actually starts getting a rash.
We just keep wondering if this is normal. Hope it's a phase.
