Describe Clarisse McClellan from Fahrenheit 451.
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Clarisse McClellan lives next door to Montag. Clarisse is innocent, curious, and full of life. She doesn't conform to the roles and regulations of the oppressive society that she and Montag live in. When she asks Montag if firemen used to put out fires rather than start them, Montag laughs. This is one of the first moments when Clarisse challenges Montag, challenges the way he thinks:
You laugh when I haven't been funny and you answer right off. You never stop to think what I've asked you.
Here, Clarisse quite literally tells Montag he doesn't think too deeply about things. Clarisse mentions that she doesn't watch the parlour walls and her family sits around and talks. This is strange to Montag whose wife is addicted to the parlour shows and has little to no experience of a family life full of conversation.
At the end of their first meeting, Clarisse asks Montag if he is happy. Again, Clarisse's curiosity causes Montag to think, even to evaluate his own life. Montag remarks that Clarisse's face was like a mirror:
How like a mirror, too, her face. Impossible; for how many people did you know that refracted your own light to you?
This image "reflects" the dynamic that Montag experienced with Clarisse. He has no meaningful conversation with anyone, let alone his wife. When he talks to Clarisse, she opens his mind and makes him think about things he's never considered and she makes him think about himself.


text: Birders, The point has been productive for Jaegers in the past few days. We've had six Jaegers in the past three days. Monday had a dark juvenile PARASITIC JAEGER that cruised right down the beach, as well as pair of distant individuals. Yesterday, we had another bird fly right down the beach during mid-morning, but as an intermediate juvenile it was too difficult to determine exact species. Finally, today saw a pair of Jaegers, one distant, while the other caught us quite by surprise, coming the wrong way up the beach. This bird was a small light-morph individual, but the views were too quick to make any claims as to species. Monday had a fair movement of RED-NECKED GREBES, with over 500. However, we're still behind for the year and there are many more to come. Yesterday, one BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER showed up on the beach in the afternoon and today two appeared around the same time of the day. Today, a juvenile SORA was working the second pond throughout the day.

WILMINGTON, DE – What happens when a local non-profit wants to invest $100,000 renovating a local museum? The county government rejects the help of course!
That is what has occurred recently in New Castle County when a local group offered to spend $100,000 on the historic Rockwood Mansion. Why? The PRIVATE group was not going pay a "prevailing wage" on the work. Delaware Rep. Danny Short and Delaware Rep. Deborah Hudson have penned an op-ed in response to Delaware's system of kow-towing to unions at the taxpayers' expense.
Yet one more method of the government queering the free market, prevailing wage laws are designed to encourage the hiring of union contractors. If non-union contractors are forced to pay union-scale wages (the "prevailing wage"), governments are encouraged to hire union contractors. There is no cost advantage to hiring a non-union contractor and non-union contractors don't (as a rule) picket your job site.
In the case of the Rockwood Mansion, the project would be undertaken by a private group. However, the government owns the property. The New Castle County council and executive have decided that the prevailing wage must be paid even though Friends of Rockwood Mansion are a private, not-for-profit organization. (The state law only requires "prevailing wage" on GOVERNMENT capital projects).
So, what's the result? An historic treasure won't receive the renovation it desperately needs. When it does, the cost will be far higher than it would be without the burden of the prevailing wage law. And … Delaware taxpayers will have to pick up the tab rather than a group of private citizens who ponied up for the renovation to begin with.
God Bless the AFL-CIO and their lackeys in the Delaware Legislature.

A mathematical study of how anthrax spreads through the mail
A mathematician at Vanderbilt and an expert in infectious diseases at the New York University School of Medicine have teamed up to produce a mathematical model of how anthrax can be spread through the mail.
The model, which appears in the May 14 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, simulates the recent outbreak of mail-borne anthrax deaths in the United States and demonstrates that all the known cases of infection can be explained by contamination spread through the mail from six original envelopes.
The analysis concludes that original anthrax-filled envelopes must have contaminated an additional 5,000 pieces of mail with significant but much lower levels of anthrax spores in order to account for the two deaths that appear have occurred from such cross-contamination. In the case of any future attacks of this type, the model provides a framework that can be used for the rapid identification and containment of any further outbreaks.
The model was developed by Glenn F. Webb, professor of mathematics at Vanderbilt, and Martin J. Blaser, the Frederick H. King Professor of Internal Medicine, chairman of the department of medicine and professor of microbiology at the NYU School of Medicine.

Tim's Dragstrip News For June 7, 2009
Pam Conn - 2008 Rookie of the Year
Boss Eliminator
The season continues with more surprise turns and so much mystery, some crew chiefs found onlookers looking underneath their race cars (true story; more later).
After a packed track of racers in Saturday night's Budweiser Racing Street Legal series, in which some purchased timed runs at the traditionally heads-up race, several of those racers were back Sunday morning for some points racing.
For rookies like Janie Chambers, it paid off. I'm not sure if she ran timed runs, Saturday night, but her practice paid off for Sunday in Gamblers. The Gamblers bracket was deep, the ladder including crate-motor racers, sleeper Mustangs and snowmobiles. The final consisted of two Mustangs: veteran Jason Giacone's Pro class '66 and rookie Chambers' '99 street legal. Giacone would jump too soon off the starting tree, Chambers would take home most of the cash.
They may be out to re-race each other, in Saturday's special Mustang class. Hosted by Arcata Transmission, it will be an extra part of King of the Hill Saturday, the first of several double-event weekends at Samoa Dragstrip. Samoa's first Wally Parks trophy-feature (of two), this year, happens Sunday, with King of the Track.
In Sportsman, last year's runner-up in King of the Track - Mitch Marlin - quietly and stealthfully worked his sleeper '87 T-Bird to the Boss final against Doug Atkins' '69 Z28, taking First Place and reaching 3rd in Sportmans points behind Slant 6 racer Glen Terry and leader Josh Rapp. Marlin credits good reaction times throughout the day, Atkins continues to be so impressed with the same motor he's raced with for decades, he's not about to modify it any time soon.
Pro was a mixed bag in the Boss Eliminator. Returning from a 1st place win in the Competition Eliminator, Jerry Toledo made it to the quarter finals before Mike Wright would take the win light. Pamela Conn would beat Don Kohls' '37 Chevy, and that 2008 Rookie of the Year would race veteran John Antongiovani in the Final, Conn's '74 Camaro taking a win over his '63 Nova, for 1st place. Jerry Toledo still leads Pro in points, as Conn and Ray Rapp are tied for 2nd - 12 points behind Toledo, Antongiovanni is 4th in points with Ana Toledo 5th in points.
Rapp may not have taken 1st in Pro, but still had a great day at the office. Crew chief Ron Macklin spotted some young men looking underneath the '72 Vega in the pits. When asked what they doing down there, they admitted they were trying to find out "what the secret was". In Super Pro, Rapp beat Redding's Bill Wood in a tight race, after Tom Brazil's dragster beat Ricky Ellsworth's dragster. Brazil's Hemi-powered rail met beat Rapp's leaping Vega to the finish line in the Final- but went faster than his dial-in, running 8.17 on an 8.20 dial-in, Rapp's winning e.t. 10.21. The current points leader in Super Pro, Rapp has a 41-point lead over Brazil, who is 2nd in points, followed by Mike Scoggin. Rookie Jake Morris is tied for 4th in points with fellow dragster pilot Ricky Ellsworth, as Jim Toledo is 5th.
Mike Pettit, Jr. continues to have a great rookie year in Sportsman Motorcycles, having graduated from Junior Dragsters. Copping great reaction times on his quarter-mile snowmobile, he advanced in the Boss Eliminator to face veteran George Brooks. Brooks' Hybusa bike - top qualifier in bikes with the day's best reaction time - would come up from behind to take 1st place in a clean race, but Pettit would emerge 1st place in Motorcycle points, Brooks behind him by 9 points.
One of the most interesting features of the Eliminator was the Junior Dragster series. In the Final, for the third race in a row it was Kevin Will taking the win, this time against Ashley Johnson. Young Ashley caught a perfect reaction time of .500 earlier in the day, joining Dan Hodge as the only two racers of the day to do so. In the final, Kevin Will took a winning run of 10.91 at 86 mph in the eighth-mile against Johnson's 8.61 at 71 mph. Kevin's brother Austin would race Mellissa Surber for the Consolation win, banking on Surber's red-lit run of 8.97, Austin running 8.82.
We're headed for a packed weekend at the 'strip, starting with King of the Hill, Saturday June 19th, followed by the Budweiser Racing Street Legals at 5:30pm (Remember: free to race and free to watch the street legals), with the weekend's third event - King of the Track - beginning Sunday morning. Don't forget about the special Mustang class that will be a part of Saturday's bracket racing, with an extra purse and set of prizes.
See ya at the Samoa drags,
-- Tim O'Brien

The battle over the television can begin the moment a toddler learns to operate the remote control.
So we asked you to tell us how you control the television, how much TV is too much and which shows are appropriate for your children.
Here's what you said:
During the school year, my children are allowed to watch TV before school on Monday mornings, provided they are already dressed, have made their bed and are done with their homework. The rest of the the week, the TV is off in the morning.
After school, they are busy doing homework, reading, playing instruments or playing with friends. Their lives are so full that they do not ask to watch TV.
On the weekend, we may watch a video or a few cartoons in the morning (usually on PBS or Nickelodeon), but then the boys are busy with activities again.
Children enjoy being active and spending time with family and friends much more than vegging in front of the television. High self-esteem and self-worth is not developed in front of the television. Kim of Woodridge mom of Alex, 9, and Greg, 6
Since she can turn on the TV and work the VCR on her own, it's tough to drag my daughter (not yet 3) away from the tube.
What I like to do is say, "We've seen this Arthur/Caillou/Elmo/George Shrinks lots of times before. I'm going to play with your toys." Then I start playing with her toys—I rev a car, let the cardboard bricks fall, make the animals talk or read aloud to her stuffed panda and dog, and laugh for them and myself.
Sure enough, she comes to see what I'm doing.
When I hear her footsteps, I say, "Oh, but you're watching TV. If you wanted to come build/play/read with Mommy, you'd have to turn it off." Nine times out of 10, she does. Maja of Chicago, mom of Morgan, 3
My children, I have to admit, are television junkies, but the shows they watch are not junk.
I find the programming on Nickelodeon quite appropriate. Their favorite is "Full House." There is always a moral included in the half-hour show.
As far as cartoons, I restrict viewing to shows such as "Arthur" or classics that I watched as a child, such as "Bullwinkle," which includes educational messages.
I know it is hard sometimes, but don't allow the television to babysit the kids. The dishes can wait. Laura of Chicago, mom of Rebecca, 10, and Justin, 7
I totally control the television viewing of my three children. I let them know what they can and cannot watch. They're very good at listening to me.
The shows I consider appropriate for kids really depend upon the maturity and age of the child.
My 4½-year-old and 8-year-old love Spongebob, George Shrinks and Dragon Tales.
To me, these shows are OK. They teach things to young viewers about sharing, love, and other things without it sounding too fairy-tale-ish.
I also approve of shows that are non-judgmental and that teach reading, math or other skills. Eval of Chicago, mom of Melanie, 8, Amanda, 4, and Donovan, 1

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) The actress who played Col. Klink's sexy blond secretary Hilda on Hogan's Heroes and married the show's star, Bob Crane, has died. She was 72.
Patricia Crane died here on Oct. 14, a spokeswoman for the Orange County coroner's office confirmed Monday. On stage, Crane was known as Sigrid Valdis.
Crane died of lung cancer at her daughter Ana Sarmiento's home, her son said.
"One of her last wishes in her will was that the funeral have no press, so we didn't contact the press (when she died), to honor her wishes," son Scotty Crane told the Los Angeles Times.
Crane played Hilda for five seasons on Hogan's Heroes, the 1965-71 CBS situation comedy about Allied prisoners in a World War II German POW camp. Hilda and Bob Crane's Col. Hogan flirted playfully in front of the screen, but in 1970 were married for real — on the show's set.
Eight years later, Crane was found bludgeoned to death in an apartment in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Patricia Olson was born in 1935 in Bakersfield, Calif., and grew up in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, finding both runway and print modeling jobs as a teenager.
After graduating high school, she moved to Europe and then to New York City, where she studied acting and continued her modeling career.
Her film credits include Our Man Flint,Two Tickets to Paris,Marriage on the Rocks, and The Venetian Affair. In addition to Hogan's Heroes, she appeared on other television series, including The Wild Wild West and Kraft Mystery Theater.
She retired from acting after her son's birth in 1971. She moved from the Los Angeles area after Crane's death in 1978. In 1998, she joined the cast of her son's syndicated weekly sketch comedy radio show, Shaken, Not Stirred, which originated in Seattle.
In 2004, she returned to live in her childhood home in Westwood.
In addition to her son and daughter from her marriage to Crane, the twice-widowed actress is survived by a daughter from her first marriage, Melissa Smith; and five grandchildren.

My client has a Flash animation which he wants to embed in his web page.In the interests of accessiblity, I have persuaded him to offer the same content as HTML (for those who don't have Flash).My question: How does one go about detecting if Flash is present, so as to offer the appropriate content?Is there such a thing as a  tag, but for Flash?
Thanks in advance
You can have fallbacks in your code for when Flash is not available. For example, in this code ...
<object data="/flash/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="movie" value="/flash/file.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<object type="image/jpg" data="/images/fallback.jpg">

Jeesh, images off too?

... a Flash file will play unless Flash is not supported, in which case an image will display instead ... unless images are off, in which case a paragraph will display instead.
Thanks for that. That sounds exactly like what I was after.I'll try it out tomorrow.

Crystal Seas Kayaking
At age 5, second-generation islander Johannes and his father paddled along San Juan Island, their kayaks crossing paths with troops of orca whales. This foray ignited the young adventurer's twin passions for kayaking and stewardship. Now, Johannes' team of outdoor enthusiasts deftly navigates the waters surrounding San Juan Island, imparting knowledge of marine wildlife to paddlers. Guides not only skim the region's waterways, but lead expeditions across the islands during multiday tours. Groups may paddle along remote islands in search of seabirds and lost tugboat captains, and then hop on bicycles to pedal down rural back roads dotted with lavender and alpaca farms.

I really enjoy traveling and have managed to sneak away for a few short adventures. So far, I've had the chance to explore parts of China, SE Asia and the Middle East. Camping in Western Desert among the wind sculpted rock formations, hiking around the Siq in Jordan, and bartering at Khan el-Khalili were among my most favorite experiences. I'd also really like to see more of the US!
I enjoy cooking and wines. Luckily, I had the chance to briefly explore some of those interests while I was at school. Now that school's out, I'm enjoying taking more non-career related courses... just following wherever my interests take me!
As for my ideal match, since everyone is different, I'll try not stick too rigidly to any set of characteristics that would make my ideal match. Suffice it to say, as long as you've got a good heart, are trustworthy, and can hold up your end of the conversation, I'd say we're off to a great start!
Let's Go Exploring!

Amidst the engulfing impacts of the economic crisis on workers' lives, a national conference aims to spark up vital discussions towards generating a wave of resistance for genuine social change. The Congress of Progressive Filipino Canadians (CPFC), its member organizations and allies invite all to participate in "Workers Struggles Amidst Neoliberal Globalization," to be held on August 11th and 12th at the United Steel Workers Hall in Toronto. As workers' lives and conditions are being edged onto the precipice of society by the crisis of neoliberal globalization, the conference hopes to meet this critical moment by underscoring the important role that all workers have to play in addressing the challenges and opportunities at hand.
We are at a current juncture whereby the impacts of neoliberal globalization can no longer be denied. The fragile state of the economy, otherwise touted as having reached a state of recovery, can instead be seen and felt clearly in the everyday struggles faced by multitudes of people at a global scale. Workers all over the world are forcibly conceding to neoliberal measures against their wages, employment and living conditions—such as cutbacks on wages and social services, the contractualization of work and labour and the imposition of austerity against our most basic and essential needs.
Such solutions for short-term political and profit goals are creating a long-term social and human toll in the lives and futures of generations to come. Rather than simply contending with the impacts of the neoliberal agenda, this conference is an opportunity to understand the historic and present role of the working class in the process of social transformation. By generating a confluence of perspectives about our common struggles, this conference also aims to build and strengthen linkages amongst progressive organizations, groups and individuals towards advancing our common goals.
While the neoliberal agenda has undoubtedly made itself present to the lives of all workers, it is those who are the very margins, especially women and workers of colour, that are being pushed even further. This conference also aims to understand the importance and essentiality of race and gender in the working class movement by placing the struggles of migrant and immigrant workers at the forefront. Given all the devastating assaults on workers' conditions on all fronts, this two-day conference will generate unity amongst workers to move beyond conversation and into action by building a movement that will bring forth genuine social change and transformation.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
So there you have it. A nursery rhyme about Mary growing her garden. And a beautiful garden she grew! How about you? Do you like to grow things? For simplicity sake, lets start with flowers.
I love to grow flowers. In the summer months, I plant and cultivate a beautiful outdoor flower garden each year. But during the cold, snowy winters of Chicago, I grow my own mini flower garden indoors near my kitchen sink in an area where two windows converge. Friends (in dismay) have asked me how I could possibly get my green plants to bloom beautiful flowers in the dead of winter. They tell me I must have a "green thumb"."Nope," I respond, "my thumbs are the same color as yours." :)

This thread does not promote a solution of my own creation. It is more of a digest of information that was first presented by bud16415 in his thread A Simple Screen Paint Solution. It also relies heavily on the work and presentations of wbassett regarding off-the-shelf neutral gray paint tints. I'm not sure who first introduced the idea of adding waterborne polyurethane to paint but pb_maxxx has long been an advocate of the Minwax Clear Satin Polycrylic as a paint mix component. In the Beginner's Guide To Simple DIY Painted Screens I tried to summarize a lot of what I have learned from this forum and my own experimentation, but there is a lot of information and some may find that thread a long read.
This thread is intended to offer a simple and effective alternative to the big three DIY Screen Paint "Mixes". It is not meant to discourage anyone from trying Black Widow, Silver Fire, or S-I-L-V-E-R, however I would suggest "Beginner's Delight" is a good place to start. You will have an excellent screen surface that will work very well with the current crop of bright high contrast projectors and provide you with a solid basis for comparison if and when you decide to make up a sample panel of any of the aforementioned DIY Screen Paint Mixes.
What to Paint
Any surface that is smooth, flat, and that paint will adhere to. The simplest thing to use is the wall. Fix any bumps or dents and wet sand if the wall already has roller texture. The smoother the better. Recommended reading.
To Prime, Or Not To Prime
For truest color, it is always recommended that apply one or two coats of good white primer. Painting a screen is no exception. If the wall is already a uniform white and you are using a self priming paint, then maybe you can get away without priming. A white primed wall also offers an opportunity for you to see how well a flat white screen surface will work in your room with your projector.
Primer IS NOT Flat White Paint
Primer is formulated to provide a white surface that is porous to promote paint adhesion. This fundamental characteristic makes it a poor screen surface because it is neither durable or washable. If white is right for your situation, then use a good white base paint.
Two Flavors
The "Beginner's Delight" solution will be presented in two flavors. The first flavor is "BD OTS Matte". While it is true that we now know how to tint most paint bases to some shade of neutral gray, you should not just use any paint base. The second flavor, "BD OTS+Satin", is technically a mix, but a very simple one. It is simply any one of a number of OTS neutral gray paints mixed with Minwax Clear Satin Polycrylic.
Getting Paint On The Wall
With the "Beginner's Delight" solutions you can achieve excellent results by using a roller and a simple application technique. I am in no way apposed to spraying these solutions but I have no experience with spray painting and will offer no suggestions or comments regarding spray painting. For those curious about or interested in spray painting, I do recommend you take a look at this post in the Beginner's Guide.
Given a projector with deep black levels, and a room with dark walls and ceiling, a white screen will reflect a bright vibrant image. While the current crop of digital projectors do boast much deeper black levels, they can still benefit from a gray screen.
A gray screen will make black levels appear deeper in a room with low controlled ambient light and/or light colored walls and ceiling. This is explained in more detail here. Generally if you have ambient light, then I would suggest an N8 shade. If you are more interested in a brighter image or your ambient light situation is minimal, then consider one of the lighter shades. For a more extensive gray shade selection guide look here (scroll down past the Behr tint formulas.
Lowes can color match their Valspar Flat Enamel via computer data base. For a near N8 shade ask for either True Value "Winter Mountain" 1982 or Glidden (ICI Paints) "Universal Gray" 00NN 62/000 W/B. For a lighter shade (~N8.6) ask for either True Value "Winter Mist" 1983 or Glidden (ICI Paints) "Snow Field" 00NN 72/000 W/B.

Note: I have included the old three number tints at the end of this post.
ICI Paints includes Glidden, Dulux, and in Canada CIL. For an N8 shade ask for "Universal Gray" 00NN 62/000 W/B. For a lighter shade (~N8.6) ask for "Snow Field" 00NN 72/000 W/B. NOTE: It is the color code that is universal across all ICI Paints brands. Therefore be sure to ask for the tint by the code first. The tint name may vary from brand to brand and even from store to store. To be sure you have received a neutral shade tint look for the tint code to be of the form 00NN ??/000 where the ?? value indicates the shade. The higher the shade value the lighter the gray.
Ignoring the tint names here are the color codes for screen paint shades:
If you are purchasing your paint from Lowes (ie, Valspar Interior Flat Enamel) you will need to ask the attendant to "Color Match" the code. I'm not sure which ICI Paint brands they will have in the computer database, so be sure to ask them to lookup the code for ICI Paints, Glidden, and Dulux. If the clerk says they cannot do it, then find another clerk because they most certainly can.
Attention Canadians: Canadian Tire paint is also an ICI Paint product. Therefore the neutral shade codes are valid there as well.
There are a lot of other neutral gray tints for various paint brands presented here.

Given a good projector you can achieve excellent results with a simple matte gray paint as demonstrated in this screen shot
As you can see from these screen shots, it is quite possible to get nice bright whites as well as deep blacks and good shadow detail.
Don't Use Flat Paint!
Unless you are painting a rough surface, I do not recommend truly flat paint. There are only two paint bases I have first hand experience with, that I would recommend.
Lowes: Valspar Ultra Premium 100% Acrylic Latex Interior Flat Enamel Alternate recommended by wbassett: Valspar Signature Colors™ Interior 100% Acrylic Matte Wall Paint.
Home Depot: Behr Premium Plus Ultra™ Exterior Flat #4850 Note: I do not recommend the Behr Interior Flat Enamel #1850 as an OTS Matte Neutral Gray. In my experience it does not level out very well and therefore results in excessive roller texture. I see that Behr now has an interior ULTRA paint. Behr Premium Plus Ultra™ Interior Flat Enamel #1750. If the 1750 levels as well as the 4850 it would make an excellent OTS Matte.
Sherwin Williams, Duration Home - Flat has also been tried by wbassett and recommended. "Gray Screen" was the tint wbassett used and you can find other Sherwin Williams neutral tints here.
Adding Minwax Clear Satin Polycrylic to an OTS neutral gray paint has two main benefits. First it adds a small amount of surface sheen that brightens the image. It also has a thinning and smoothing effect on the paint. As a result the paint will level out better producing a smoother finish. Don't just take my word for it . . .
Well I finally got around to redoing my screen last night. My screen a was a few years old and still a product of the ambient light improvement thread days. IMO it had a lot of shortcomings in the form of shimmering from the mica flakes. It had fairly good blacks and outstanding whites, but at times I could catch myself watching the screen instead of the image on it. Then I squished a spider on it a while back and even after cleaning could still see the spot. SO it was time for sure.
I ended up using Glidden "universal gray" (N8) as my color of choice. The base paint I used is imo the best flat finish paint on the market in terms of drying with a uniform finish. The product is Dulux Lifemaster flat. It is product number 59170 and is only available through Glidden ICI company stores. Its quite pricey as well, but worth it imo. It is also VOC free, so it is safe for use in any environment.
I mixed the paint at a 3-1 ratio with the minwax poly and then added 10% of the total mix in water. I rolled it with a 5mm lint free roller and then with a dense foam roller. The paint went on very, very smooth, and stayed wet for a long time allowing a lot of work time if a person should need it. This finished product is uniform as could possibly be.
Playing around this AM with a few Blu movies and some telvised HD the difference from the old screen is night and day. Colors are better, skin tones are better, and the image has a tremendous amount of depth. It really does get that looking out a window feeling. No shimmering, and screen door effect is also noticeably less than before. At this point I really see no reason at all to try anything else as any improvement would be minimal at best. It really is amazing to me how one of the simplest DIY paint solutions I have tried, also appears to be the best one I have tried.
Well guys. After 2 days of testing both paints, the RS-Maxxmudd and the Neutral gray + Polyacrylic, my dad and I have decided on the Neutral gray + Polyacrylic.
Both paints were rolled on top of panels (for testing) and compared at separate projector calibrations. What i noticed was that the neutral gray actually (to my surprise really) Had more pop to the image. It was the closest thing i had seen to 3D without actually being 3D. The metallic mix just did not do this for us. Also, my dad is a huge advocate of aesthetics. He loved the white screen, no matter how much poorer the quality was (and boy were BOTH of the paints a night and day difference between the white flat enamel we were using before), and it was even a challenge to convince him to go gray (tho once he saw the image that was easy). Anyway, the metallic mix, when rolled at least, made metallic particles fairly visible and neither of us were very much a fan of this fact.
I have tried Valspar satin waterbase polyurethane with poor results. Therefore I only recommend Minwax Clear Satin Polycrylic.
Mix Ratios
If your choice of base paint is a truly flat finish then mix 3 parts paint with one part Minwax Satin Polycrylic. If you are using one of the matte (ie flat enamel) base paints then mix 4 parts paint to 1 part Minwax Satin Polycrylic.
Use a paint mixing attachment. Mix the polycrylic in the can well before drawing any off to mix with the paint. Mix the paint and polycrylic thoroughly and stir it well before each use.
Use a good quality 1/4" nap lint free roller (3/16" if you can find it).

< add some concise notes on roller selection, light roller pressure, and thinning paint>
Suggestions For Thinning & Mixing
Note: I do not recommend the Behr Interior Flat Enamel #1850 as an OTS Matte Neutral Gray. In my experience it does not level out very well and therefore results in excessive roller texture.
I thought 1850 was one of the recommended bases. I've had roller texture issues as well, but figured it was doing something to cause it.
"BD OTS Matte"
Note: I do not recommend the Behr Interior Flat Enamel #1850 as an OTS Matte Neutral Gray. In my experience it does not level out very well and therefore results in excessive roller texture.
I thought 1850 was one of the recommended bases. I've had roller texture issues as well, but figured it was doing something to cause it.
Ahhhhh...but when you spray....all your worries go away as far as Roller marks, leaving you to judge the paint on a different set of standards and potential. Really, do you think limiting someone to a specific paint because another might be too difficult to roll doesn't point out the slings and arrows Rolling can present?
Since Flat Enamel seems to be universally acclaimed as a superior medium for almost ever DIY paint that requires such...either the Behr or Valspar paints will be used in my own upcoming tests, with specific choices limited only to Mixes whose Designers require such to be used. I'll relate further on the appropriate thread.

Valspar Flat Enamel levels well right out of the can.
These two paints are very different in this respect.
To be absolutely clear . . . I have found Behr Flat Enamel 1850 to have poor leveling characteristics that result in excessive roller texture when use on it's own. Therefore I do not recommend it as a one can off the shelf screen paint solution. When mixed with Minwax Satin Polycrylic (4:1), the mixture will level nicely.
Valspar Flat Enamel levels well right out of the can.
These two paints are very different in this respect.
I can vouch for this. I applied a couple of coats of Behr Silvescreen, and sanded each coat. Then finished it off with a top coat of Silverscreen and Minwax satin at 4:1. It produces a remarkably smooth coat -- much smoother than the paint on its own.
Is there a good high gain paint that also works well with ambient light?
Start a new Thread or PM me for help. It's OT on this thread.

I am going to have a large screen - approx 52"x124". It will be in a darkly painted room that opens up in the back to a lighter room. There are no windows, but I would like to be able to watch with some ambient light for football, parties, etc.
Is there a good high gain paint that also works well with ambient light?
The pure white base paints that are matte or that have had polycrylic added, will have gains higher than 1. Of course they are white and will not tolerate the ambient light you desire. You will want to consider one of the metallic mixes that come in a lighter shade of gray.
It is my hope that this interior paint is essentially the same as the Exterior Flat 4850 minus the fungicides typically added to exterior paints. If this assumption is true then it should have the same leveling characteristics.
If someone does give it a try I would like to know if it levels out to a smooth finish. This would make it superior to the 1850 which does not level well and therefore it introduces more roller texture than is desireable. We would also like to know if it has a low luster sheen that does not cause hot spotting.

Thanks - I was afraid of that. I'm not really a scientist, so I was hoping a one or two ingredient beginner solution may work.
I will probably just start with one of the recomended matte white base paints with a little poly added and just adjust as needed later.
I inquired at my local Home Depot and confirmed the new formulas are 384ths ounce. This new finer tint resolution is to enable the tinting of small 8oz sample pots. You will soon be able to purchase small 8oz jars of paint to get more accurate samples of a given tint.
You should also refer to the color code when asking for Color Matching at Lowes. Also make them look it up for ICI Paints, Glidden, and Dulux. It will be in the Color Match database for at least one of the ICI Paints brands.
In Canada ICI Paints are also available through Color Your World and Canadian Tire stores.
I called the Lowes in Ogdensburg, NY to see if they could Color Match 00NN 62/000 for an ICI Paints brand. That's "Universal Gray" by name. Unfortunately they cannot match this for ICI Paints, Glidden, or Dulux. They could color match 00NN 72/000 "Snow Field" for ICI Paints. Therefore if you are looking for an N8 in the Valspar you will have to ask them to Color Match True Value "Winter Mountain".
Yes Todd. It's been the "white base" for the last few Screens I've done, and it works well. Of course it wasn't part of what your suggesting in this thread.....so I guess you have to keep asking.
....and asking.
....and asking.

Has anyone tried rolling the Behr 1750?
How does it compare to the Behr flat enamel 1850. Does it level out better? Does it have a similar level of sheen?
How does it compare to the Behr Ultra Exterior 4850?
The behr 1750 is self priming. How well does it work as a primer?
If you are going to mix it with Minwax Clear Satin Polycrylic, then I would suggest a mix ratio of 4 parts tinted 1750 paint to 1 part Minwax Clear Satin Polycrylic. This suggestion is based on my expectation that the sheen level of the 1750 is similar to the exterior ULTRA 4850. If you get some 1750 and paint up a sample card and find it is quite flat then you could try a 3:1 mix of tinted 1750 to satin polycrylic.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to try this new paint and report back to the DIY Screen community.
I also sent a PM with similar questions, and a detailed description of my setup
Thks for your feedback
The addition of the Behr matte polyurethane is not as effective as the Minnwax Satin Polycrylic. After much tinkering and experimentation I only recommend the Minnwax Satin Polycrylic as an additive to paint.
I really can't recommend the use of the Behr Silver Metallic since the color neutrality of those mixes in not known. In general I prefer non-metallic paint mixes to achieve a more natural three dimensional image. If you have your heart set on a metallic paint mix then look into the Black Widow mix.
For a newbie painter to achieve a very smooth and effective result, the paint plus Minnwax Satin Polycrylic applied with a low nap roller is what I recommend. The use of a Wagner Control spray would be my next suggestion to improve on the screen, not adding metallic silver.
Your Mitsinishi 6800 is quite bright so it will work well with an N8 neutral gray of the standard Black Widow formula that is about N7.5 in shade.
I recently traded in my 4 year old framed Blackout cloth 2.35 screen for a 16:9 wall painted screen. New screen is 145" diagonal, which is just a bit wider (126") than my old 2.35. I used an 8.5 mix from Tiddler's Behr mixing values.
Started with 3 coats of mud and 5 coats of Killz2 as prep on textured, dark-painted wall. I didn't get the surface perfect, but stopped dinking around after I had to be honest with myself that I couldn't even begin to detect the imperfections from the 12-17 ft average viewing distance. I was using the white Killz2 wall for about a month, so it was completely dried and cured.
I did 2 coats of the #1750+Satin mix, using a 1 person 2 roller method -- Purdy white dove 9" 1/4" nap for a couple of up/down vertical strokes, then a 7" Purdy foam roller for downstrokes. I wasn't that fussy about it other than being careful to keep wet edge -- the mix covered and leveled nicely during application and dried to a smooth surface with no roller marks. Again not perfect, but nothing detectable from viewing distance. I do painting in the house from time to time and am sensitive to roller mark sheen; have to say this mix was very easy to work with.
My current projector is an Ax100 with about 2K on the bulb. I just did a side-by-side with a friend's AE3000 with 250 on the bulb, and their brightness were about comparable in the brightest modes (both with zoom wide open), so I'd estimate based on AE3000 reviews that my Ax100 has dimmed to somewhere around 700-1000 lumens in Vivid Cinema and Normal mode, which is what I do most of my watching with (in both darkened room and some ambient light). Since I had a 2.35 screen before (via manual zoom) of almost the same width, for letterboxed movies my projector is throwing the same image size it was previously.
The polycrylic adds a nice even sheen that helps gain, but in my setup there is no detectable hotspotting. I don't have any quantitative tools to measure, so just have qualitative comparisons with previous screens. Although I didn't have time to do side-by-side comparisons with different mixes and other surfaces, I'm quite happy with the new screen. The gray tint provides a better ambient light picture then Killz2 or BO cloth did, and I do not seem to have lost anything in gain (darkened room picture is as bright or brighter as previously).
I will be upgrading projector soon for more lumens, probably to a 8500UB, in which case I may go darker on the gray tint for a better ambient light picture. I had done research on metallic mixes, etc. but this performs so well I won't bother experimenting with others unless I find myself with time on my hands.
Thanks to all the great DIY information out here, especially Tiddler! Hoping to post photos comparing to BO cloth as a reference point and if I'm really ambitious, a panel with the #1750 with no Satin.
Iffin' there were, there would be even more folks advocating it's use. So considering your bulb's usage, the NG8 w/Poly is doing as good as it is because...and only because of the Poly. Without such it would show a dimmer image than the BOC for almost certain. It's the use of the Poly...at the required concentrations....that even brings such neutral Grays into consideration. Without such they'd be applicable ONLY when being hit with very intense PJ lumens.
Beware of what might/will happen with a similar darker Gray w/a Poly induced sheen being hit with a significantly brighter PJ. If you start out with using Low lamp, then you'll probably be OK.

Basic Requirements – Music Achievement Awards are open to any fulltime Black Hawk College students who are either music majors or non-music majors. Priority, however, will be given to those students who are music majors, who live in the BHC district or neighboring Scott County, and who are entering BHC for the first time as freshman.
Award Limits – Awards are given in various increments of credit hour waivers ranging from 3 – 16 hours each semester. This award only applies toward tuition costs and cannot be applied toward auxiliary lab fees or books.
Admission – In addition to first meeting the admission requirements of the college, all Music Achievement Award recipients must possess academic abilities which give strong evidence to support their successful achievement in a collegiate level academic program. In addition, award recipients, where applicable, must meet any requirements imposed by an outside agency having control, i.e. NJCA, Arrowhead Conference, etc.
Use of Other Financial Aid – To facilitate good fiscal management of college resources, all achievement award recipients must first apply for financial aid from other available sources, i.e. PELL, ISSC, etc., or recipients must receive a Verification of No-need from the Financial Aid Office prior to their planned enrollment.
Audition Requirements – One written recommendation from your high school music teacher, private lesson teacher, or school counselor is required for new students. Also, an in-person audition before the BHC full-time music faculty is required of all recipients. In an audition you are expected to perform two contrasting selections totaling 4-6 minutes of duration. We may also ask you to sight read or perform scales, arpeggios, and other technical exercises at our discretion. An accompanist is not provided, so you are required to make those arrangements if needed. In rare instances and upon approval by the music faculty, a student may provide a CD or taped performance if he or she lives a great distance from the college.
Renewal of Achievement Award Criteria – All recipients of a Music Achievement Award must continue to meet the requirements for renewal as stated below for each semester that the award is given. Generally, an award is renewable for up to three additional, continuous semesters including summers upon request. On rare occasions, an exception is made to extend an award beyond that timeframe.
- All recipients must enroll in and complete a minimum of 12 semester hours of credit per semester. This is the fulltime student standard.
- All recipients must have and maintain an overall GPA of 2.4 in all their combined coursework and maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 in all music-related coursework.
- Continuous enrollment is required for continuation of the award. If a student takes off a semester or more, that student will need to reapply for an achievement award upon reentering BHC.
- Illinois State Scholarships and Illinois Monetary Awards (MAP Grants) are to be applied to admission and fee charges before monetary value of the achievement award is determined.
- The recipient is required to assist with music department activities as directed by the faculty. A major component of this responsibility is to work as a monitor in the Music MIDI Lab for between 1 and 3 hours per week based upon your award level: 3-7 credit waivers = 1 hour per week in the lab, 8-11 credit waivers = 2 hours per week in the lab, and 12-16 credit waivers = 3 hours per week in the lab. Missing an assigned lab hour, having exposed food or drink in the music lab, or being chronically late without coverage is grounds for dismissal of this award.
- Recipients are to follow all BHC rules regarding trips off campus for music-related activities, especially noting the no drinking, no illicit drugs policy.
- Attendance is mandatory at BHC music classes, concerts, and recitals.
- All recipients must enroll in at least 2 credits of music ensembles each semester that the award is active [MUSC 101, 102 (both sections), 103, 107, or 109].
Probation – If an award recipient narrowly fails to meet the minimum requirements for renewal of the award, upon discretion of the music faculty, that student may be placed on probation for a semester's time while still receiving the award. If the student's situation does not improve to minimum levels, then the award will be withdrawn at the end of that semester. However, if the student again meets the minimum requirements during that semester's work, he or she will be reinstated in good standing and be eligible for continuation of the award.
For any further details regarding this award and its criteria, please contact either Jon Palomaki at 309-796-5478 or Edgar Crockett at 309-796-5479. All final decisions regarding these awards rest with the full-time music faculty of Black Hawk College.

During his bid for the Republican presidential nomination earlier in the 2012 election cycle, businessman Herman Cain scored his greatest success when he won the Presidency 5 straw poll held by the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) in Orlando back in September. While Cain -- unlike all other previous winners of the straw poll -- did not go on to win the Republican nomination, he is continuing to play an active role in the politics of the Sunshine State.
By taking aim at the political establishment and calling for a simplified tax code, Cain, who has never held elected office, rocketed out of nowhere to upset Gov. Rick Perry of Texas at Presidency 5 and moved to the top of national polls. But, facing questions about extramarital affairs, Cain quickly faded in the race.
Since that time, Cain has attempted to remain active on the national scene and launched a new PAC to endorse candidates. While his pick for the Republican presidential nomination -- former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia -- has pulled out of the race, Cain hopes to continue his streak of political success in Florida.
I liked Herman Cain when he was in the race. He was the outsider with fresh, new ideas.
Endorsing LeMieux??? Really??? That's a Tallahassee/Washington insider move.
I'm not sure what Cain is doing now. Some of his endorsements don't make much sense. Is he trying to be the "inside the beltway" guy now?
I'm more with Bachmann on the Senate Race. Initially I am a big Colonel Mike McCalister supporter and would prefer a fresher face. But Connie Mack is probably the only other candidate in this I could be excited about. I really like his "Penny Plan" for spending.

Dunlop Offering Road Race Contingency With 20 Different Sanctioning Bodies In 2013
© 2017, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. From a
press release
issued by Dunlop
Dunlop Road Race Posts Contingency Program for 2013
Buffalo, NY: Dunlop is pleased to announce that in 2013 the company will once again support club racers throughout the United States and Canada by posting contingency payouts. This program will apply throughout a wide variety of racing classes conducted by 20 popular sanctioning organizations. As the official tire of the GEICO Motorcycle AMA Pro Road Racing series, Australian FX Series and more, Dunlop in 2013 will make available to club racers an expanded selection of products, including DOT tires and slicks made in the U.S. and U.K., along with professional services at the track. Direct technical assistance from the Dunlop U.S. R&D team will be available at select club races where work with the ongoing road race tire development program will take place.
Racers choosing Dunlop tires in the following series will be eligible for this contingency program: AFM, ASMA, ASRA PRO Series, ASRA Team Challenge, Chuckwalla, Moto Series, CCS, CMRA Endurance, CMRA Sprint, CRA, MWGP, OMMRA, WMMRA, SMRI, USBA, USGPRU and WERA in the United States, plus SOAR, RACE and the 250 CUP in Canada.
Dunlop Senior Road Race Manager Sabastian Mincone said, "Club racing has always been an important program for Dunlop because it gives us additional information for tire development beyond what we gather at AMA Pro Road Racing events. Over the years, we have been able to develop race-winning products that work remarkably well at racetracks all around the United States while working with some of most talented riders in America. All of us at Dunlop are pleased to offer contingency awards plus our technical support for the many club racers around the country to help grow racing at the grass-roots level. In 2013 we will continue to expand our development of U.S.-made race products in order to deliver top performance at an affordable price. Dunlop will also continue to offer our full range of UK-made road race tires for 2013."

Hundreds of teachers from England and Wales are attending a conference in Harrogate. Several speakers urged them to support the wearing of headscarves.
"Children have to be prepared for life in a multi-cultural society," said one.
It comes after the French government voted to ban headscarves and other religious items from the classroom.
In England and Wales, headteachers decide what uniform the pupils wear. Headscarves - as long as they are in school colours - are widely permitted.
Teachers' union the NUT, which organised the conference, said it was setting up a guidance service involving Muslim teachers and pupils to advise schools on the issue.
