Novus Orbis: Images of the New World
part 2: 1507 - 1669
In 1507, Martin Waldseemüller published a globe, a large world map Universalis Cosmographia, and an accompanying book Cosmographiae Introductio, shown here. In Universalis Cosmographia, the first map that depicts the New World as two continents, Waldseemüller designates the Southern landmass Americathe first appearance of this name on a map.
In his book Cosmographiae Introductio, Waldseemüller
justifies his proposal to name the New World after Amerigo
Now truly these parts [Europe, Africa, Asia] have been more widely explored, and another, fourth, part has been discovered by Americus Vespucius (as will appear in what follows), and I do not see why anyone should rightly forbid naming it Amerigeland of Americus, as it were, after its discoverer Americus, a man of acute geniusor America, since both Europe and Asia have received their names from women. Its position and the manners and customs of its people may clearly be learned from the twice-two voyages of Americus that follow.
Waldseemüller later acknowledged the primacy of Columbuss
discovery and dropped the name America from
his maps. By then, however, it was too lateAmerica
was here to stay.
Sebastian Münster was the first mapmaker to produce
separate maps of the four known continents. The woodcut
map shown here is a version of the first map to show North
and South America connected to each other but separate from
any other land mass. The map, Novae Insulae, XVII
Nova Tabula, was originally published in Münsters
edition of Ptolemys Geographia (Basle, 1540)
and in Münsters masterwork, Cosmographia
in 1544.
Cosmographia was one of the most influential works on
geography in the mid-sixteenth century; it was translated
into five languages and published in forty different editions.
Münsters map was the most widely circulated New
World map of its time. It depicts the false Sea of Verrazano
and the Northwest Passage and presents a view of North America
that precedes the Spanish explorations to the interior of
the continent.
The map shown here, from an Italian edition of Cosmographia
published in Cologne in 1575, differs from the version in
Ptolemys 1540 Geographia only in its title
and labeling.
Abraham Ortelius published Theatrum Orbis Terrarum
in 1570. This work, composed of maps coordinated in size
and content, is considered the first modern atlas. The atlas
appeared in forty-two editions and seven languages between
1570 and 1612. One remarkable feature of this book is that
at a time when cartographers copied from the work of others
without attribution, Ortelius scrupulously credited ninety-one
Americae sive Novi Orbis provides a reasonably
accurate outline of North America. Ortelius was one of the
first cartographers outside of Spain to adopt the American
place names designated by Spanish explorers.
In Americae sive Novi Orbis, Ortelius locates
Quiviraan area explored by Francisco Vásquez
de Coronadotoo far to the west. This map also shows
Anian in the Northwest. Anian was a mythical
kingdom mentioned in Marco Polos travel accounts.
Before it appeared in America on this map, Anian was generally
believed to be located off the northern coast of Asia.
In 1597, Flemish cartographer Cornelius Wytfliet published Descriptionis Ptolemaicae augmentum as a supplement to Ptolemys Geographia. Wytfliets work was the first atlas devoted exclusively to the New World. It contains nineteen regional maps of the Americas, including the two shown here.
The two maps depict the West coast of North America. In
Granata Nova et California, the coast of upper
California runs almost due west until it reaches Cape Mendocino
(C. Medocino). In Limes Occidentis Quivira
et Anian, Quiviraan area explored by Coronadoappears
too far to the west. The exact site of Quivira is unknown
but historians speculate it was in present-day Kansas. Finally,
like many other maps of the period, a world map (not shown)
in Wytfliets atlas depicts the Straits of Anian connecting
to the fabled Northwest Passage from the Atlantic Ocean.
The great geographer and mathematician Gerhard Mercator
revolutionized cartography when he developed an isogonic
cylindrical projection that mapped a sphere onto a flat
plane. Mercator expected that his projection would be
a valuable tool for navigators but he neglected to provide
practical guidelines on how use it. Edward Wright, a professor
of mathematics at Cambridge University, modified Mercators
system and published his results, Certaine errors in
Navigation, in 1599 and again in an improved edition,
Certaine errors in Navigation, detected and corrected,
shown here. Wrights book contained new mathematical
tables and instructions on plotting straight-line courses
on maps based on the Mercator projection. The system developed
by Wright contributed to the supremacy of the British
Navy and is still in use today.

1.1 ADS Architecture Design and Evaluation (ADS-ADE) Task
Task Coordinator: Ratan K. Guha
Objectives and Significance:
The main objectives of the research performed by the ADS Architecture Design and Evaluation team are: (1) to develop techniques to model/evaluate the performance of large scale ADS systems, (2) to develop algorithms, based on DoD High Level Architecture (HLA), for improving the scalability and reducing the bandwidth requirement of distributed simulation systems, and (3) to improve solution techniques used by tools for the modeling and performance evaluation of DIS systems.
Specifically, the main objective for the fourth year of this project was to continue our research in (1) advanced networking technology, (2) synchronization problem of distributed systems, (3) relevance filtering, and (4) plan research activities and gather relevant information on integration-driven software reuse practices and open platforms and tools for implementing it. For general purpose tools, we have worked on developing easily accessible interval computation software which can reliably perform fundamental interval arithmetic, set operation and bound elementary interval functions.
In networking technology, one project aims at developing and evaluating methodologies that can be used for the conformance testing of the implementations of protocols for concurrent interactions. In another project, we extend our previous work to design efficient channel reservation schemes for two dimensional networks based on the rapidly evolving technology of mobile positioning. We are also evaluating the impact of porting distributed applications to state-of-the-art gigabit ATM networks. For internet applications, we evaluate various web architectures to improve the performance of client's information access time. For synchronization problem of distributed systems, we extend our triangular level coteries to trapezoidal and incomplete triangular level coteries and develop an algebraic method for generating coteries. The successful implementation of efficient relevance filtering in network gateways would help solve one of the challenges facing the design of highly scalable DIS and HLA systems.
In software development, our aim is to provide support to object-oriented developers and managers to foster better design and more reusable code. The emerging integration-based reuse technology holds good promise for increasing productivity and reducing the overhead of source modification and re-verification. Our software tool projects improve the performance of a generic non-linear global optimization interval software, develop a standard for interval basic linear algebra software, and an online interval calculator.
Army Relevance:
Conformance testing verifies that DIS/HLA products comply with their specifications. Conformance testing also provides safeguard against implementation errors as well as incompatibility among different implementations.
Wireless and mobile communication technologies will continue to play increasingly important role in the various functions of armed forces. The development of efficient channel assignment and handoff protocols is of one of the critical problems facing the designers of third generation wireless systems. We have extended our linear topology schemes into general two-dimensional channel reservation schemes based on global positioning. Our research addresses the real-time performance issues of handoff protocols and seeks to develop efficient channel assignment and handoff schemes suitable for the delivery of UAV-collected imagery to/from mobile tactical vehicles and the delivery of location-based video/audio data to mobile users. Efficient handoff designs will also help the effort to incorporate live vehicles in military simulation training exercises.
Standard coding and documentation facilitate the software reuse process but do not offset the overhead of acquiring a deep understanding of the source code. Integration-driven software seeks to generate easy-to-use open platforms for the integration of software tools and applications. The ultimate goal of this paradigm is to develop software components that can be reused without change. Software components that need to be extensively modified before reuse will require re-verification which could be a time consuming and costly task. The integration-based reuse approach is promising and seems to have good potential for increasing software productivity and reducing the cost and time of software development.
The research on filtering and routing spaces is crucial to the scalability of HLA currently being developed under the auspices of the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office as the DoD-wide standard for simulation. The results of this research have provided good insight into the behavior of relevance filtering schemes, their real-time performance and their reliability. With this insight, the development of reliable and efficient filtering methods is greatly enhanced.
For synchronization in a distributed system, the special class of non-token-based algorithm, known as the quorum based approach, requires each process to only exchange messages with a subset of specific nodes in the distributed system. The quorum-based approach is attractive due to its well-defined concept, low message overhead, and its capability to tolerate both the site and link failures. The development of this concept will contribute to the efficiency and fault tolerance capabilities of HLA systems.
Several teams have been formed to work on several sub-tasks. Areas of accomplishments include Petri net models to check certain types of illegal behavior by a DIS/HLA station connected to an FDDI LAN, real-time protocols for channel assignments and handoff handling in mobile cellular environments, trapezoidal and incomplete triangular level quorums for distributed mutual exclusion, relevance document filtering, an online interval calculator, and a parallel global optimization software tool. During the past year, we have also been gathering information about emerging new practices for software reuse and have been planning for performing research and experiments on integration-based tools for software reuse.
Planned Activities:
The planned activities of each ADS-ADE sub-task are described in the individual reports given on the following pages.
Conformance Testing of Concurrent Protocol Implementations
M. Bassiouni and R. Guha(UCF)
M. Balaram and Y. Reddy (GSU)
Research Objectives and Significance:
This project aims at developing and evaluating methodologies that can be used for the conformance testing of the implementations of protocols for concurrent interactions. The two main paradigms used in our research are Finite State Machine (FSM) and Petri nets. Our investigation involves two steps. We first develop models for the passive testing mode. Next, we extend these models to the mode of active conformance testing. In this latter mode, an external tester is used to apply a sequence of inputs to the station under test (SUT) and verify that it behaves as its specification describes. The tester drives the SUT into different states and examines its behavior in response to the various conditions induced by the test sequence.
Army Relevance:
Distributed interactive simulation (DIS) and High Level Architecture (HLA) systems rely on the real-time interconnection of large numbers of simulation entities. Conformance testing is needed to verify that DIS/HLA products comply with their specifications. Conformance testing also provides safeguard against implementation errors as well as incompatibility among different implementations.
We have examined the issue of applying Finite State Machine (FSM) models to verify the adherence of DIS/HLA simulators to some of the interactions specified by their standards. We have also investigated Petri-net models as basis for the compliance testing of concurrent and networked protocols. Below, we illustrate our approach for applying Petri-nets on a real-life example of a complex network protocol, namely, the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
The FDDI Media Access Control (MAC) protocol uses a timed token algorithm to arbitrate access to the transmission medium. Access to the physical medium is controlled by passing a token around the FDDI ring. The token gives the station which receives it the opportunity to transmit a frame of data (or a sequence of frames) onto the ring. For the purpose of illustration, we shall assume that the station being tested does not transmit synchronous data and we will therefore limit our discussion to aspects of the FDDI protocol that are relevant to asynchronous transmission.
The implementation of the FDDI MAC protocol is accomplished via a set of timers and counters that are used to control the transmission of data frames. The following are the important timers/counters maintained (locally) by each node on the network.
? Token-Rotation Timer (TRT) is used to control the station's access to the network.
? LateCt: is a counter used to indicate the number of times the timer TRT has expired since the token was last received by this station.
? Token-Holding Timer (THT) is used to control the amount of asynchronous data that can be transmitted by the station.
A token arriving at a given station is considered to be an early token if LateCt = 0. Otherwise, the token is considered to be a late token. The FDDI access protocol can be simply described as follows. A token arriving before TRT times out (i.e., an early token) can be used for asynchronous transmissions. A late token allows the transmission of synchronous data but cannot be used for asynchronous transmission.

 The benign countenance of pudgy film director Alfred Hitchcock welcomed viewers to stories of terror, horror, suspense, and twisted endings for an entire decade. His clipped British accent and catlike theme music became television standbys as the series was seen on two different networks and was later seen for years in syndication. The stories would often appear to end with evil triumphant, in strict violation of the television code of ethics. This situation was always resolved following the last commercial, when Hitchcock would return to explain, in his deadpan sardonic way, what silly mistake or chance occurance had finally done the villan in.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cleo!
Facts about Cleo
- Breed: Sphynx
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Senior
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Cleo's Info...
I am already spayed, declawed, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Cleo, a 10-12-year-old blue-&-white SPHYNX female in the Phoenix area. She is spayed and front declawed. She is very people oriented and purrs when being petted in a lap. She has skin problems but regular bathing takes care of it.
Other Pets at The Rexphiles: Cornish Rexcues
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cleo, a Scottsdale Sphynx cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Sphynx for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Sphynx cat from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Sphynx breeders who help with Sphynx rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Alright, its kind of ironic that the first question I have to post on this forum is on electronics but, regardless, I'm perplexed.
My brother recently moved back in with my parents and had free reign of the electronics for about four months before I came back to visit for a while--which means I'm left with trying to /fix/ everything. This means, completely reformatting and restarting computers and fixing whatever he has done to tvs. I've got the computers, but the tv's are not something I understand. My parents have Direct TV, my brother attempted to connect a PS2 to it, and in the process retained pictures, but killed the sound. I've unhooked everything, and replaced all the cables into their presumable right places (red goes in the red slot etc.) and it looks like it should be working---it seems to match the other tvs. However, the tv claims it can't find the 'stereo' sound system (only the mono) and there is no sound. If you turn the TV itself onto another channel you actually get to hear fuzzy sound of a random channel but when its on the direct tv box, nothing. So, anyone have any idea of what my brother did to it? The sound works on the tv technically, just not on anything my parents would want to watch. |

I'm not sure (I switched back to cable a few years ago) He may gave changed the TV's Menu Setup to turn OFF the TV speakers. And changed the DirecTV Menu Setup Audio Output from Analog to Stereo or Digital. (change it back to Analog) |

There is a Direct TV forum. Google for ~ forum OR discussion OR group "direct tv". The Dish TV forum is better than Dish TV support. I cannot speak to Direct TV but you may want to try there is suggestion here do not work. |

Here's some prayer relief for Baby Boomer forgetfulness.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, good for you. If you ever have those moments when you reach for a name or word that's right there on the tip of your tongue only to find that when you try to say it your brain has gone blank, welcome to the club. Time and again I turn to my poor wife and give her clues, like in a game of charades, to help me come up with that name or word that should be so obvious.
At the same time, I keep reading these studies that show you can improve your brain power and expand your memory well into your 90s. How would I ever be able to do that; when would I have the time? Then it came to me: Use your prayer time.
Here's what I tried. I had a Post-it note with the list of people I've promised to pray for. Instead of just looking at it and reading it, what if I closed my eyes and tried to reconstruct it? It would be both good for my memory and good for my prayer life.
"I won't be able to remember all these names," I thought. At first I didn't. I'd have to go back and check the list, recovering a name. But I've found with time that my memory gets better, and each new name I add is a chance to both expand my spiritual horizons and jog my mind.
Yes, I still stumble over names and draw a blank sometimes. Call it a senior moment. Call it aging. I also call it an opportunity for spiritual growth.

Kathleen Glynn was born in Flint, Michigan in 1958. She loved
to read and went to the library with her father every Monday
night. By the age of eight she was designing and sewing her
own clothes. In 1974, during her sophomore year in high
school, she started writing her own computer programs.
These childhood interests created the spark for what would
take place in her adult years.
In 1982, Ms. Glynn began an award-winning graphic design business
in Flint. Her primary clients were the city's non-profit organizations.
She also designed and contributed to "The Flint Voice," one of
the nation's premiere alternative newspapers. Later, in
Washington, DC, her clients included Ralph Nader, for whom
she designed books and publications; The World Wildlife Fund;
and the Center for Science in the Public Interest. In 1987
she was among the first designers to use a desktop publishing
system and consequently taught Macintosh classes for beginners
to advanced designers. From 1987 to 1990, Kathleen Glynn played a critical role in the production of the highly acclaimed film, "Roger & Me," the largest grossing documentary of all time. From her discovery of the now infamous "Bunny Lady" to designing the film's logo, titles, and one-sheet, Kathleen was part of the core team of Flint natives that guided "Roger & Me" through to completion. She then coordinated and participated in a worldwide promotional tour of the film. During 1989, Ms. Glynn began a new career as a costume designer for film and television. Her work was featured in the "Washington Post" and she designed costumes for the films "Malcolm X," "My New Gun," and "Canadian Bacon." Ms. Glynn was also the co-producer of "Canadian Bacon." An official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Vancouver and Toronto Film Festivals, "Canadian Bacon" opened theatrically in the United States in September, 1995, and is currently one of the most frequently rented videos in the country. In 1993, Kathleen Glynn produced the Emmy Award-winning television show, "TV Nation." The documentary/comedy program aired for two summer seasons (on NBC and Fox) earning Ms. Glynn her own Emmy for shepherding the NBC show through the tumult -- and past the censors. Ms. Glynn was the producer of "The Big One," a documentary feature released this spring, which follows the extensive book tour Michael Moore made across the country, upon the release of "Downsize This! Random Thoughts from an Unarmed American." "The Big One" was an official selection of the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. In addition to her executive duties at Dog Eat Dog Films, and its upcoming film and television projects, Kathleen has just published, with Michael Moore, a chronicle of the adventures of "TV Nation." This book will be released by Harper Collins, in October 1998. |

Here are our selected wedding films we have done outside of Malaysia
What we love about our job is definitely experiencing all the exotic locales outside our own shores. Learning and filming new cultures in itself is a reward in our line of work. However desolate or obscure the location may be we are always eager and up for the challenge!
We really admire the energy and exuberance of Chinese weddings from the gauntlet each groomsmen and groom have to undertake up till bridal pickup. Each couples and friends always have their nuances unique to each of them telling of a story forged by years of friendship.
There so much to say about the vibrance and colours of Indian weddings. You will definitely be treated to all the colours of the rainbow and much more. Working on Indian weddings has exposed us to so much of their rich and wonderful culture which is diverse even in between them.
We have been blessed to film some deeply romantic and enjoyable couples in our time. Time and again we are always treated with a spectacle of emotional connections and bonds that are heavy to the heart.
Our wedding short films are where we can flex our creativity and ideas outside the boundary of event filming. We are always looking to tell a story that leaves you in awe and compelled while branding them with our taste of visual artistry. Do give us a buzz if you want something unique and compelling for your pre-wedding films.
Our first music video we directed scored 300k hits on youtube and many stated it was the first advert they watched till the end!
Although we are a small team, we do have the resources and capabilities to produce some bigger budget commercials or corporate videos. Watch out for this space for our next corporate video!
Filming children are so enjoyable that you could not categorize this as work. Kids emote so effortlessly so every smile, laugh, cry brings magic into the lens. Hit us up for your kids do and we will try to cater to any budget you have.
Here is the list of selected film projects we have worked on in the past. They are categorized by type.
Watch this space for our up coming surf film featuring surfers from around Malaysia surfing our very own Malaysian surf breaks in the Monsoon season.

3 Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. | 3 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. |
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. | 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. |
5 And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. | 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. |
6 And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. | 6 There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. |
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. | 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. |
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: | 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, |
9 to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; | 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, |
10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: | 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. |
11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. | 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines. |
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. | 12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. |
13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. | 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. |
14 For the body is not one member, but many. | 14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. |
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. | 15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. |
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. | 16 And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. |
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? | 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? |
18 But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. | 18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. |
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? | 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? |
20 But now they are many members, but one body. | 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. |
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. | 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" |
22 Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: | 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, |
23 and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness; | 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, |
24 whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked; | 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, |
25 that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. | 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. |
26 And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. | 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. |
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. | 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. |
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, [divers] kinds of tongues. | 28 And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. |
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all [workers of] miracles? | 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? |
30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? | 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret? |
31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you. | 31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way. |

I posted this in laundry room forum as well.
I have a newer washer that empties into the utility sink. The utility sink empties into a black plastic accordian tube that runs into the floor drain. This is all in the basement. This drain sits near the wall and the wall was rotted from this. I removed it, bleached and I am still laying new drywall and insulation. The laundry water is not backing up BUT the foam is billowing out and around and wetting everything near it. I snaked the drain, put in a new black hose and I cut back about half on the soap. Yet the foam is attacking again. No water overflow I assure you. Can I put a drain hole cover around this black tube? Any comments wanted. Thank you ;) |

The complete manner in which that utility sink is installed is not only a serious violation of the plumbing code but it is also potentially a serious health and safety hazard. The code requires that all fixtures attached to a drain must be equipped with a trap. In your installation there is a hose from the sink drain opening to the floor drain. The maximum allowable vertical distance from the drain opening in the sink to the standing water level in the trap is 24" (some codes limit it to 12"). The only permissible exception is a laundry standpipe. Generally floor drains do not have a trap on the line. Instead the the receptor has a water reservor around the drain pipe and the underside of the lid has a pipe extension that protrudes below the water line in the reservoir to provides the trap function. When the lid is removed there is no trap and consequently sewer gasses may enter into the home. The five main gasesous components of sewer gas are Hydrogen Sulfide, Ammonia, Methane, Carbon dioxide and Nitrous Oxide all of which are asphyxiants and some of them are flamable and potentially explosive in higher concentrations. To complicate the matter even more, in high concentrations Hydrogen Sulfide has the ability to paralize the bodies olfactory nerve which means you cannot even smell the gasses. Some of these gasses are lighter than air while others are heavier than air and they occur in differing concentrations at different times so you can never be sure if they are collecting near the floor where they would go totally unnoticed until you have a serious problem. To make matters even worse Hydrogen Sulfide (SO2) combines with water water vapor(H2O) and forms Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4). These vapors can combine on the metal cabinet of your laundry equipment or other metal objects in the immediate area, form the acid and cause premature corrosion of the metal. If the flamable gasses were to concentrate near the floor in a fairly large concentration they could be drawn into the burner section of a gas water heater or gas furnace and ignite a fire or explosion. You could connect a pipe to the floor drain, sealing it in place then make a vertical riser up to a Tee where you would attach a waste arm and P-trap to your sink opening. From the top of the tee you would need to continue upward and attach the riser to a vent or run a vent line up and out through the roof. If the plumbing code in your jurisdiction is modelled after the International Residential Code you could install an Air Admittance Valve on the riser above the tee to provide the necessary vent. |
Lazypup: WOW! You blew my mind. Thank you for the input. I own a condo and my neighbor has been here since it was built...in the 70's. She assures me that the drain set up is original. She has the same get up, as does all of the condo's I have been in. I have called the county on my "issue" and they tell me that the records do not go back to 1972. They claim they cannot answer any of the questions I asked. Maybe I asked the wrong questions.? |
- Posted by lazypup (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Dec 31, 06 at 2:19
In all fairness to your county officials the reason they don't have the records is because in most instances they never receive a copy of the plumbing, electrical or HVAC layout. When you purchase a set of building plans the plans show the overall demensions of the structure as well as a complete floorplan showing the location of all end use fixtures but there is no plumbing layout, electrical layout or HVAC layout for the structure. In order to determine the layout your plumbers needs a copy of the building floor plan showing the location of all fixtures. In addition, we need to know if the structure will be served by a municipal sewer line or a septic tank and the exact distance and location from the structure to the sewer or septic tie in as well as the depth of the tie in point. Once we know the exact location and depth of the tie in we can then compute the exact distance from the tie in point to the fixture furthest away from that point. From the length of the run and the required pitch of the drain lines we can then determine what the minimum elevation of the structure floor must be. In southern regions where they are not confronted with frost issues often the municipal sewer lines are fairly shallow and in some instances if there is a long setback from the street or sewer line location to the structure it may be necessary to either raise the level of the floor, or install a sewage lift station. Generally it is considered much more cost effective to to add another layer or two of block on the footer wall rather than install the sewage lift station. In all cases the shortest distance between any two points is a straight line so we generally begin by determining a straight line from the furthest watercloset to the sewer or septic tie in point and use that as the house sewer and main drain run. Here again, the municipality determines where the sewer tie in will be. It may be in the center of your lot on the street side at one location but it may come in from a corner of the lot on another and if you have a septic tank it could be anywhere around the structure so the most direct line from the furthest watercloset to the tie in point will be different at each location. Once we have figured out the house sewer and house main drain we must then compute at branch drains and since the main drain is different at each structure obviously the branch drains will also be different. While some larger plumbing companies have Plumbers who work full time at preparing the layouts, as a rule it is the lead plumber on sites job to work it out. When your inspector comes to inspect he or she will consult with the lead plumber to see their layout, then they do a complete walkthrough to insure that everything in the installation meets code standards but the inspector never has a copy of the actual layout print and sadly some plumbers fail to leave a copy with the homeowner. Personally I would strongly advise anyone building a home to make sure that you get a copy of the final working print of your plumbing layout and keep that for future reference. I generally take a 3' section of 4" PVC and glue a cap on one end and a cleanout adapter and threaded plug on the opposite end, then I roll the print and put it in that tube and give that to the homeowner with the suggestion that they should also get copies of all the other tradesmens field prints and put them in the tube as well. The tube can then be hung on the ceiling near the electrical panel in a basement or in a utility room and you will have an archive set of prints for future maintenance. |

Other Pets at Almost Home Shelter Pet Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Nick~Prison Obedience Trained, a Hazard German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever for sale in Hazard, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Hazard.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hazard already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hazard breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hazard paves the way for another one to be saved.

"I don't know if stress-related disorders are more common in college towns, but college tends to be a particularly stressful time of life," said Jenna Silverman, senior staff clinician at Student Counseling Services.
She said students are under pressure to succeed academically and balance time with work, friends, extracurricular activities and their families.
Silverman said anxiety and depressive symptoms were the most common concerns of students seeking counseling, but those are also the most common concerns for the general population.
"College age is generally the time with most mental health issues present," said Alison Malmon, founder and executive director of activeminds.org.
Active Minds is an organization that tries to remove the stigma about mental health issues and encourages open communication about mental health on college campuses.
"A lot of people believe that you should be able to solve all your problems yourself," Silverman said. "That's simply not true."
Silverman said many students believe they have to have major problems to merit the use of psychotherapy, but the psychologists at Auburn's counseling services treat students with a wide range of concerns, from homesickness to thoughts of suicide.
Malmon said anxiety is a real issue that can profoundly affect school, life and work, but there is help.
One of her suggestions is to be true to yourself and be true to things you like to do.
"Basically, stress puts us in a fight-or-flight situation biologically," said Sheila Patel, staff clinician at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. "What we believe is a major cornerstone for stress reduction is meditation."
One of the founders of the Chopra Center, Deepak Chopra, was coined by Time Magazine as the "poet-prophet of alternative medicine."
He has written numerous books on mind-body health.
Free guided meditations are provided on the Chopra Center's website, www.chopra.com.
Exercising, practicing yoga, eating well-balanced meals, limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, getting involved and maintaining a positive attitude are among the suggestions for managing stress, as listed on the ADAA's website.
Patel said she also suggests journaling.
She encourages students to journal about their stresses, particularly before exams.
"Having a good social support system is really important as well," Patel said.
Silverman said scheduling time for fun activities can be just as important as setting aside time for schoolwork.
"View these activities as self-care instead of procrastination," Silverman said.
Women are twice as likely to have an anxiety disorder as men, according to the ADAA's website.
"I feel it has a lot to do with just how both men and women view the world," Patel said.
Silverman said some research suggests women are more likely to internalize stress, such as through anxiety disorders.
Men, on the other hand, appear to externalize stress by being irritable or getting into arguments.
"If you are stressed and it's interfering with your everyday life, you should talk to someone about it," Malmon said.
Student Counseling Services offers 10 free individual counseling sessions for Auburn students.
Unlimited free group psychotherapy is also provided for those who are interested.
To make an appointment, call 334-844-5123 or go by the center located on the second floor of the Auburn University Medical Clinic.

May 21, 2013, about 1271 miles. The Toyota Tundra doesn't compare to a Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500 or Ram 1500. This has proven to be one segment Toyota that simply can't crack, even though the Tundra has much of the qualities of American trucks. Like the Tundra of the past, it's still a between-size vehicle, only more like a commercial-grade heavy-duty grade truck than a light-duty personal pickup, It's a big, lumbering torquey V-8-powered tool, the kind of vehicle that holds no charms for me unless I need to move or haul something, and I didn't this week. To me, the low-rent interior makes more sense than spending fifty-thou ... yee-gads, it's $40,000? Where? How? No wonder Toyota dealers can't move these.
I have no other major issues with this pickup, other than the radio controls, which suck, bite, and are crap. It's too hard to figure out how to change channels while driving and thus too easy to look away from the road for far too long. There are huge HVAC controls so you can turn on the A/C or heat while wearing work gloves, but there's just a tiny volume/on/off dial, and you have to figure out the over-complicated touch-screen just to change channels. The IIHS ought to issue a safety warning about this radio.
Todd Lassa, Executive Editor
It's a bit odd the Tundra doesn't come with a standard trailer hitch since it includes trailer sway control and a 4.10:1 gear ratio standard. When equipped with the optional trailer hitch, the Tundra can be a monster tow vehicle. I've towed a smaller truck behind a Tundra in the past and I was absolutely amazed by the power of the 5.7-liter V-8 engine and how well the six-speed automatic transmission is calibrated. My only issue with the Tundra as a tow vehicle is how soft the rear springs are -- even trailers with modest tongue weight make the Tundra's rear sag quite a bit.
This weekend I wasn't towing and the Tundra was a great companion. The bedliner and deck rail system made moving an outdoor barbeque grill incredibly easy. Being able to move the tie-down points to fit the cargo you're hauling is a lot better than having to use extra long straps at odd angles like I'd have to do with my older Silverado's regular tie-down points at the corners of the bed.
I'm also impressed by the amount of room with the Double Cab configuration. It's slightly longer than the extended cab on my Silverado, but the back seat is a whole lot more useable. It strikes a nice balance between overall length and utility.
Toyota is giving the Tundra a slight refresh for 2014, so dealers are likely trying extra hard to move the 2013s right now. Anyone looking at a half-ton would be wise to press a Toyota dealer for a good price. Although it's a formidable pickup, the Tundra hardly sells enough units to worry about. The Detroit players utterly dominate this segment, which means an open-minded shopper could get a heck of a deal on an equally capable truck with a different badge in the next few months.

Lancer Lounge gets evicted and will close tomorrow at 2 p.m.
Update: For photos of Lancer Lounge's final night, visit "Slide show: Lancer Lounge's last night." For more on the developing story, read "Lancer Lounge seized by State of Colorado for back taxes."Lauren Hendrick A few Lancer Lounge regulars belly up to the bar before the iconic watering hole closes tomorrow for good.
I don't remember the first time I went to the Lancer Lounge -- it was more than a decade ago -- but I do remember the last time I was there. It was a typical Friday night at the venerable watering hole, where the drinks are as stiff as a starched shirt. Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" was blasting on the jukebox, and the cheap whiskey -- a single that's always a double here -- went down easy. And after a few, the liquid courage had done its job, convincing me to belt out the lyrics...and dance, slow, with a perfect stranger, whose name I'll never know. Nothing out of the ordinary. No one cared.

- The Lancer Lounge gets up to code -- and even gets a new window
Just about everyone who lives in Denver has a story about the Lancer Lounge, which Ron Nathan leased in 1976, more than four decades ago -- long before the 'hood became a culinary breeding ground for some of the top chefs and restaurateurs in the city, including Frank Bonanno, who now owns Mizuna, Bones and Luca d'Italia, all of which reside in the same stretch of building, which is owned by the Sherman Agency, a local real estate company.
But according to Becky Conda, who took over the Lancer Lounge in 1999, when Nathan passed away and gifted it to her in his will, Howard Snyder, the vice president/treasurer of the Sherman Agency, has evicted her, and as of tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m., the Lancer Lounge will cease to exist.
Snyder, for his part, refuses to comment, offering only this curt statement: "It's in the courts. I'm not going to tell you what happened."
Fair enough. But Conda, with whom I spoke with earlier today, isn't holding her tongue. "I'm not doing good. I'm numb," she admits through tears and the muffled mumbles coming from the bar, where a few regulars were camped out this morning in solidarity.
"I can't honestly tell you why this happened, but I was one month -- one -- behind in my rent, and I had a sewer problem, which I spent a ton of my own money to fix, but they didn't think that I handled it correctly," she says. "And so they've evicted me, and there's nothing I can do about it. I have to comply with the law."

Unable to Connect: DSL modem has flashing or no Ready/WAN light (no sync)
Unable to Connect: DSL modem has flashing or no Ready/WAN light (no sync) |
Your DSL modem may not have the ready light while trying to connect to the AOL software. Listed below are some solutions to resolve the issue. After trying the first solution, check to see if you can connect to the AOL service. If the issue persists, continue using the suggested solutions until the problem is fixed. Information you needYou will need to know the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system installed on your computer. You can find this information by following the steps given in the online help article How do I determine the version of Windows I have? Solutions
Power cycle the computer, modem, and any home network componentRestart your computer and all connectivity-related hardware components to ensure that the computer responds correctly and get a better connection. 1. Restart your computer. To know how to do so, refer to our online help article Restart the computer. 2. Turn off the DSL modem and any other home networking devices that you may be using by unplugging them. 3.Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and plug it directly into the Ethernet port at the back of the computer. This is an RJ-45 Ethernet port and looks similar to a regular telephone jack but is wider and labeled Ethernet, Enet, or 10base-T. 4. Ensure that all physical connections are set up correctly as described below:
4. Plug in the DSL modem and wait for the appropriate indication lights to light up. Try signing on to the AOL software. Check physical connection1. Follow the diagram shown below to check the physical connection. Note: Modems may vary in appearance. 2. Connect a telephone instrument directly to the wall jack and check whether there is a dial tone. If there is a dial tone, then the jack is working fine and you should continue troubleshooting. 3. Ensure that the modem is not placed near electronic devices, such as; stereos or microwaves, as this may cause interference. If so, move the modem or devices a little away and then try again to connect. 4. Confirm that the member is using a 6 ft. cord that came with the modem kit. Long cords can be problematic. Remove long cords, filters, and/or splitters Connect a short cord directly to the modem. 5. Confirm that all devices, including phones, fax machines, and routers, have filters installed. If yes, remove all devices and attempt a direct connection to rule out issues with these devices/filters. Remove conflicting software or hardwareNew software or hardware could conflict with the member's DSL connection. If member has recently installed a new software or hardware, check whether the date coincide with the high speed outage. If yes, uninstall that software/hardware and attempt to connect to the AOL software. Test at the demarcation pointIf all other troubleshooting steps have failed, you need to determine whether the wiring in the home is causing the issue. To do so, you will need to locate the test jack (or NID – Network Interface Device). Determine the phone company's phone/data wires end point and the home wiring start point. The NID is usually located at the side of house, close to other utility entrance points. Some common examples are shown below. Typically, the test jack is inside this box. Plug your telephone or modem into this jack to see whether it is working. The picture below shows the location of some of the jacks in common NIDs. If the telephone or modem works after plugging it in the test jack, then the problem is likely with the wiring within the home. Inform the member about it. |
