The Association of American Universities has named the UA as one of only eight U.S. institutions funded under a nation-wide initiative designed to improve STEM education.
The University of Arizona is one of only eight institutions in the nation to be selected and funded under a major, nationwide initiative designed to greatly enhance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
Aimed at addressing the nationwide demand to improve education, retain more majors and expand the workforce in STEM, the Association of American Universities (AAU) announced the eight project sites of the STEM Undergraduate Education Initiative, which is funded by The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
"The award recognizes our university's commitment to improve STEM undergraduate education by promoting and supporting the application of evidence-based teaching practices," said Vicente Talanquer, co-principal investigator on the UA grant.
Under the initiative, the UA has established the UA AAU STEM Project, a comprehensive, interdisciplinary effort that significantly will expand STEM-related collaborative enterprises, curricula and funding opportunities.
"Selection as an AAU STEM Project Site is a great honor that will facilitate UA interaction with other AAU institutions for improvement in STEM teaching and learning," said Gail D. Burd, UA vice provost for academic affairs and principal investigator on the UA grant.
"We have a strong collaborative team of faculty and administrators who have been working together for the last year. Our proposal is exciting, with strong elements for improvements in STEM teaching and learning," said Burd, also a UA Distinguished Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology.
The nationwide initiative is intended to support major cultural shifts in STEM education at the UA and elsewhere.
"This national initiative recognizes not only the commitment and leadership of the UA in the efforts to improve the quality of the STEM education that we offer, but also the strength, quality and commitment of the STEM educators working at our university," said Talanquer, a professor in the UA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
The UA AAU STEM Project will be funded through 2016. Among other efforts, the project will result in:
The AAU is an association of 60 U.S. and two Canadian research universities organized to develop and implement effective national and institutional policies supporting research and scholarship, graduate and professional education, undergraduate education and public service in research universities.
The association, as well as other organizations and government agencies, continually have affirmed the need for investing in STEM education, as well as the related workforce sectors, for the benefit of national security, competitiveness, creativity and innovation.
Indeed, many at the UA are invested in the same national ideals driving increased support for STEM education, emphasizing that institutional and community-based support, interaction and action are required for successful educational reform in STEM.
"The UA is home to several thriving groups of STEM educators, but many of the teaching innovations that have been developed are restricted to individuals or small teaching teams, or are somewhat isolated within disciplinary departments or even within particular courses," said Lisa Elfring, also a co-principal investigator on the UA grant and an associate professor of molecular and cellular biology and also chemistry and biochemistry.
Talanquer added that evidence-based teaching practices, coupled with collaborative teaching, could ensure UA students gain the skills and experiences necessary to be successful beyond higher education.
In fact, the courses being redesigned will rely on active learning and student-centered practice to enhance both discipline-based knowledge and practical understandings of STEM so that students leave not merely with a theoretical foundation, but also skills for applying what they learn.
"These types of teaching practices focus on developing students' conceptual understanding in their areas of study and 21st century skills," Talanquer said.
Elfring also emphasized the importance of the community-building aspects of the new project, which will be mediated through the interdisciplinary FLCs.
"I believe the most important aspect of the project is really to help the UA build a community in which the majority of STEM educators are aware of research-based teaching strategies and have the resources and creative space to try them out in their own teaching."

Re: Nicko McBrain
I know how Nicko plays that riff. I can play it myself to a certain degree. First thing that you have to understand about Nicko's Bass drum technique is that his Pedal is very tight indeed and his input to the pedal is very light indeed. I have clips of video's done at drummer live clinics in london and I was also there and what amazed me is how light on the pedal he is, when you practice this you can come up with some amazing riffs. The pattern on dream of mirrors is an old riff I first heard it on Caught somewhere in time and Evil that men do. He simply speeded it up abit you can also here it in the Trooper recently in the Guitar solo section. It is an old Bonham trick where on a rock beat you play double kick in between the Hihat or ride and the snare. When you do it fast with it sounds like the Bass drum is playing with the ride as well and doing a triplet but it isn't.
Hope this helps you.

Combat Actions
The following Actions are the basic maneuvers you may perform during the Action step of combat (step 5 above). When it is your turn to perform an Action, you may perform one of the following basic maneuvers, or you may instead use an Item, Skill or Power. However, you are limited to ONE Action during each round of combat (unless specifically directed by an Item, Skill or Power).
Short Range Combat: In order to use a Short Range Action, the Combatant must 5' or less from his intended target. The Combatant declares that he is attacking one target, and how he is attacking him. He has the ability to declare that he is using ONE Item to supplement the attack (this does not include Items which are Continuous or Wearable/Continuous which may be in effect anyway). The Item can be a Weapon or some other Item which may or may not give him an advantage during the Action. The Combatant must now reveal the Item he will be using to his target. He must also reveal any additional Items which are Continuous or Wearable/Continuous which will modify his AC Pick. Now the Combatant calculates his Offense. Skills and Powers can be freely added to the calculation, as long as they do not constitute a second form of attack (many Powers can SUBSTITUTE for an attack, and in that case, you would use the description of the Power as the calculation of the attack). The calculation is (1 AC Pick + OR + modifiers). As previously noted, if the AC Pick contains an Ace, this entire calculation will equal 0 (Item modifiers are part of the calculation).
The Combatant is not obligated to add his entire OR to the attack. He may "pull his punch" by adding as much of his calculated OR (defined as the OR which is available to him as a result of adding in all modifiers) as he wants to (but he must add at least 1 point). This option is not available if the Item he is using to supplement the attack specifically states that he must use his full OR when it is being used. In the case of most Weapons, pulling your punch means you are (for example) targeting a leg instead of a torso, etc. Note that he MUST announce how much of his OR he is using BEFORE the AC Pick.
Once the Combatant's Offense is calculated, it is time for the target to calculate his Defense. First, he is able to declare up to ONE Item to supplement the Defense (this does not include Items which are Continuous or Wearable/Continuous which may be in effect anyway). The Item might be a shield or some other Item which may or may not help his Defense. The target now reveals the Item he will be using to his attacker, as well as any additional Items which are Continuous or Wearable/Continuous which will modify his AC Pick. Now the target calculates his Defense. Skills and Powers can be freely added to the calculation, as long as they do not constitute any sort of attack. The calculation is (1 AC Pick + DR + modifiers). As previously noted, if the AC Pick contains an Ace, a special draw is required which will subtract from the calculation (see rules for "Action Cards", above).
Now the Offense is compared to the Defense. If the Defense equals or exceeds the Offense, the attack misses and does no damage, and the Action is over. If the Offense exceeds the Defense, then the attack hits. The target's LIFE is thus decreased by the point difference between the Offense and Defense (i.e. 15 Offense vs. 10 Defense = 5 points of damage). If the target's LIFE is still above 0, he is "wounded", but may continue the combat. The Action is now over.
Long Range Combat: All Long Range Combat works exactly the way Short Range Combat works, with one exception: Instead of using OR, the Combatant uses DR in the Offense calculation. As above, the Combatant may add as little or as much of his DR as he wants to the attack calculation, unless the Item, Skill or Power he is using for the Long Range Attack specifically states otherwise. Remember that the Combatant's DR is HALVED (rounded up) for all subsequent calculations for the remainder of the round, cumulatively.
In order to use a Long Range Action, the intended target must be greater than 5' away.
Taking a Blow: An Avatar may elect to "jump into the path" of an attack directed at another Avatar, if he is in Short Range of the target. This Action takes effect immediately, so any further attacks in the current round will be affected. However, the Avatar taking this Action may carry it over (declared in step 1) and continue it into the next round. The Avatar who is Taking a Blow can perform no other Actions (it is assumed that all of his concentration is going towards protecting another Avatar). The Avatar who is being thus protected will continue to be protected IF and ONLY IF he does not take any Action other than Flee (explained later). At the point where the protected Avatar takes any Action other than Flee, he is no longer considered to be protected by the Avatar who is Taking a Blow, and the if the protecting Avatar wants to continue protecting him, he must re-establish Taking a Blow with the Avatar during his next Action step. note that the use of the Flee Action is optional in this situation; the Avatar being protected may very well just sit there and do nothing.
Taking a Blow may not be combined with any other Action (such as Defensive Stance or Flee), and an Avatar Taking a Blow is NOT allowed to use any of the Dodging Skills, Acrobatics or Fluid Motion. It has NO effect on Mental Attacks directed at the protected Avatar (although an Avatar who was going to Mentally attack the protected Avatar may decide to attack the Avatar who is Taking a Blow instead). Further, this Action can NOT be used as a Reaction; the protecting Avatar MUST announce his intention to Take a Blow during HIS Action (as determined by Initiative), so he cannot protect an Avatar from an attack during a faster Avatar's Action.
You may NOT Take a Blow if you are involved in a melee which does not include the Avatar you want to protect.
Fleeing Combat: An Avatar may declare a Flee Action, in which he attempts to escape from the current combat. The Avatar calculates his chance to Flee in the following manner: (1 AC Pick + DR + modifiers). Any other Avatar who is involved in the combat may now challenge the Fleeing Avatar by calculating his chance to Catch: (1 AC Pick + DR + modifiers). If ANY single Avatar's Catch calculation exceeds the Fleeing Avatar's Flee calculation, the Fleeing Avatar has FAILED, and must continue in the current combat.
If the Fleeing Avatar's Flee calculation equals or exceeds ALL challenging Avatar's Catch calculations, then he has successfully Fled the Combat. In this case, the Fleeing Avatar cannot remain in the presence (visual range) of any of the remaining Combatants during the remainder of the combat. Further, he may not become a Combatant in any combat for a period of one hour from the time he Fled (he may neither attack nor be attacked, but may continue to perform non-combat-related actions in the Nexus). The Avatar who has Fled cannot be the target or initiator of any Surprise Actions during this time (including PickPocket), and he cannot point a Weapon at or makes any threatening gestures at anyone during the hour, and may not interact IN ANY WAY with any of the Combatants he Fled from.
Special Note: Although in most cases any command given to an Avatar via one of the Mental Skills, Powers or Items must fall within the framework of the rules (i.e. an Avatar cannot be commanded to attack if it is not his turn to do so in a combat), a special exception is made for the command to Flee, IF AND ONLY IF anyone who might stop the Avatar from Fleeing immediately declares that he will NOT attempt to stop the Avatar from Fleeing. Under this circumstance, an Avatar can be commanded to immediately leave a combat and begin his Flee time.
Charge: Any Combatant may Charge to a new position on the battlefield as an Action, as long as there is currently no hostile Combatant within 5' of him (defined as any Combatant who is still ABLE to affect him with a Short Range Action and who states his hostility and therefore his objection to the Avatar using a Charge). The result of the Charge must be determined in advance, and is determined in 5' increments (for the purposes of a Charge maneuver, actual distance traveled does NOT influence the result or the timing). When Charging to a new position, he will simply declare generally where he wants to end up, based on common sense placement of other Combatants. For example, he might say "I am closing to within 15 feet of Player A, which puts me 20 feet away from Player B" - if there is a dispute about actual range, it should be resolved by applying common sense to prior calculations, or in the case of an unresolved dispute, by random draw.
Once an Avatar has established where he is Charging, any other Combatant whose VERY last Action (either in the current combat or outside of combat; for example, a Surprise attack) was a Long Range Action specifically directed AT the Charging Avatar (group effects do not qualify) gets EITHER a "free" Action at Long Range, directed ONLY at this target (it cannot be a group effect), OR gets a "free" Item Swap (at each player's discretion). If an Avatar chooses to use a free Action, and it is a second Long Range Attack in the same round, it will further halve his DR for subsequent calculations. Regardless of the actual Action, it is calculated normally as if the player had done it on his Turn, including loss of played cards from the AC Deck.
A Charge maneuver counts as an Action, so the Charging Avatar cannot take any other Action during that round of combat, unless special circumstances permit. Note that you are NOT allowed to use a Charge Maneuver if you are currently involved in a melee.

Many people tend to forget that 'Canberra', as a name, existed before 1913, when it was declared a 'city'. the district had been here forever, populated firstly by the Ngunawal people, (see: Ngunawal: Past, Present & Future) who roamed and camped in the area, and secondly, by the European invasion that arose with 19th century explorers, squatters and finally settlers, who grazed stock, grew crops and formed settlements in the area then known as the Limestone Plains.
From around 1860, the name 'Canberra' was in use, formed from various names and spellings such as Canberry, Canbery, Cranberry, etc. The settlers and their families were either integrated or moved on after their land was resumed by the Federal Government.
Sorry, I am not in a position to carry out research for other people. I feel it takes away the joy of them doing it themselves and it can prove to be a costly and very time-consuming business - and I literally do not have the time! Life is too short and there are not enough hours in a day.
Corrections are accepted, but I do not compile lists of descendants, that is for you to know, not me…Trish.
|Work began as an administration team steadily arrived. Bumpy bush tracks adorned the district, and many early administrators had to obtain a lift into the area from the towns of Yass or Goulburn. The only town in the area, Queanbeyan, was serviced by a railway (opened in 1887) and administrators were also able to travel in a little more comfort by rail from Melbourne, via Goulburn, then by buggy to Canberra.
|Many civil servants arrived from Melbourne where the temporary Federal Government was set up and this 'arrival/departure' mode became the fashion for later Canberran's, especially those who worked as civil servants. Few stayed, preferring to inhabit the bright lights of the cities of Sydney, Melbourne, etc.
The Surveyor's camp, 1910. The camp is marked by Charles Scrivener's Surveyor's Hut in State Circle, between Commonwealth Avenue and Flynn Drive, below the new Parliament House.
|Once the land was resumed, the construction workers moved in, as the 'declared' city had to be built from scratch. Sheep still grazed in paddocks, close to the provisional Parliament House. There were no hotel or guest houses. Timber accommodation was erected as quickly as possible but this was mostly for the administration staff, planners and surveyors. Construction workers had to be satisfied with tents and hum pies. Later on, cabins were constructed by the workmen themselves, and paid for by their employer or the government.
In the meantime, all had to knuckle down to Canberra's cold, sometimes freezing, winters - and in those days, 'cold' meant cold, with any tap water that was available, freezing until mid-morning, longer if the day was foggy!
The Cotter Dam was the first infrastructure to be built, after the surveyors had done their work defining the Federal Capital's boundaries, and surveying sites for future infrastructure. People needed water to survive and the Molonglo River was not going to maintain a projected 100,000 persons.
Breaking the ground for a new city. Workmen working on Canberra's new administrative area, the provisional Parliament House and West Block. The Hotel Canberra, or Hostel No. 1, is in the background. (Mildenhall, circa 1925-26)
Construction work around the Commonwealth Bridge, as seen from Vernon Hill, looking towards the provisional Parliament House (left), and the Hotel Canberra (centre right). The worker's settlement at Westlake, Yarralumla (now Stirling Park) can be seen in the distance, just over the trees on the right hand side, at the foot of the hill. To the left of that, is Howie's settlement. The Surveyor's Camp was just to the left, and behind, this camp. (Mildenhall, NAA A3560/1772)
This website contains items that I feel have some historical interest, or have been forgotten.
It also contains a few OBITUARIES, relating to people who lived in the Canberra District only.

Harbaugh: We weren't good enough to get it done
Harbaugh: "That ends that and that stings."
It will be a black Monday for Ravens coach John Harbaugh. Not because he will lose his job, like some coaches around the NFL. But Harbaugh had never experienced missing the playoffs during his first five seasons as a head coach. Knowing he would be watching the playoffs next weekend was new territory for Harbaugh, following Sundya's loss to the Bengals. It was a feeling Harbaugh does not want to get used to.
"We're not ever going to be content with not making the playoffs," Harbaugh said. "That's just not something that's going to be Ok, with me personally, with(general manager) Ozzie (Newsome), or any of us, any player here. That's what makes it tough. We expect to do that. We fight like crazy to do that every single year."
Harbaugh will have some tough decisions to make, like whether to keep his coaching staff intact, or make changes. Both offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell, and run game coordinator Juan Castillo have been under scrutiny for the Ravens' offensive problems, but Harbaugh took responsibility for the Ravens' failure to make the playoffs.
RELATED: [Flacco misses playoffs for first time]
"If we're not good enough, we're not good enough," Harbaugh said. "The fact that we weren't good enough this year to get it done, that's something we got to address. That starts with me. I'm responsible for how good the team is. And I'll take responsibility for it 100 percent. No player needs to take responsibility for that, and nobody else does."
The Ravens become the latest Super Bowl winner that to fail to win a playoff game the following season. For Harbaugh, the challenge no longer is defending a championship. The challenge is to figure out how the Ravens can become contenders again.

Ableton Live 8 Essential Training with Rick Schmunk offers a comprehensive overview of Ableton's live audio and MIDI sequencing software and the techniques required to compose, record, and edit music, in real time, on stage, or in the studio. The course includes tutorials on compiling live sets from audio and MIDI clips, loops, or samples, applying MIDI effects, warping audio, and recording and producing songs in any number of contemporary styles. Exercise files are included with the course.
Using an external audio interface with Live allows you to record and monitor audio at a higher resolution than using a computer's built-in audio inputs and outputs. In this video we'll discuss how to configure Ableton Live to work with an external audio interface, and learn how to activate the interface inputs and outputs. So before you start using Ableton Live you want to connect your audio interface to your computer, start your computer, and then if necessary load the interface's driver. Then you can go ahead and launch Ableton Live. To access the settings that will allow you to configure your audio interface to work with Live, choose Preferences from the Live menu on Mac, or the Options menu on a PC, or use the key command Command+Comma or Ctrl+Comma on PC.
The Preferences are organized into tabs, and I'm on the Audio tab here. First of all, we see the Driver Type, which in this case I only have the option of CoreAudio. On a Mac or a PC if there is a driver that's specific to your interface, you'll need to load that, and it should be visible in this menu. Then we can go down and click the Audio Input Device, and we should see your interface listed in this list. If not, again, you'll need to go back and check on that driver. So I've got the Hammerfall DSP set currently as my input device, and I want to check the available input, so I am going to click the Input Config button.
And here I see that currently, out of all the inputs and outputs available on this device, only 1 and 2 are enabled, both mono and stereo. So I am going to go ahead and I am going to enable 3 and 4 for both mono and stereo, and I'll click OK. And I am going to close Preferences by hitting the Escape key. Now I'll click the Input Assignment button on the Audio Track in Live, and I see both 1 and 2 available stereo, 3 and 4 stereo, and then it's mono inputs 1 through 4.
I'll go back into Preferences by using the key command Command+Comma, and I'll see that I have the same options here available for the Audio Output Device. Now I am doing something different here because I'm recording this video, but in most cases you are going to want to make sure that the input device and the output device are set to the same device to avoid conflicts. We have the same option here for the Output Config, and in this case this particular interface only has two outputs. Next, if you are going to record audio into an Ableton Live set, you'll want to set the sample rate, bit depth and audio file type here in Preferences; these settings will affect any audio recorded into a Live set.
For Sample Rate, the options are 44,100k, 48,000, and 96,000, with 44.1 kHz, being the consumer audio CD standard and 48 and 96 being higher resolution options. Let me go ahead and choose 44,100. The Sample Rate and Pitch Conversion parameter affects the audio quality of an audio clip when it is stretched to fit a different tempo, or transposed to work in another key. The default Sample Rate and Pitch Conversion setting is a global setting. This can also be set at the clip level if necessary, and we'll discuss this in a later video.
So next, I'll click the Record Warp and Launch tab, and our top option here is File Type, and our choices are WAV and AIF. WAV was developed for the PC and AIF for the Mac, but today they are both cross-platform, interchangeable. They are both uncompressed audio format, so they work both the same pretty much. So I am going to choose WAV. And then for bit depth our options are 16, 24, and 32-bit. Again, 16 is the consumer audio CD standard, 24 and 32 being higher resolution options.
Now most engineers are going to recommend that you record at a higher bit rate. That's going to give you the biggest bang for your buck in improving the audio quality. I'll go ahead and choose 24-bit. So in this video we learned how to configure Live so that you can effectively use an audio interface rather than your computer's built-in interface.

Product description
This beautiful book allows the reader to appreciate the complexities and subtleties of Ottoman art and architecture as a whole, while simultaneously learning more about the history of one of the world's most magnificent cities - Istanbul. Bridging the gap between the specialist scholar and the educated general reader, the history of the city is discussed, from the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453 up to the beginning of the twentieth century when the Ottoman Empire was finally dismantled following the First World War. This historical background appears alongside descriptions and illustrations of Ottoman architecture, regalia, textiles, books, ceramics, calligraphy and painting. Throughout, Yeomans presents the exhilarating alternative of Ottoman art, with its meaning expressed through non-figurative form rather than through the symbol systems and narrative of Western art.

Review quote
An oversized hardback, this book is simultaneously an art book and a guide to Ottoman sites of historical interest in the city of Istanbul. It is more successful at the second than the first; while the photographs are abundant and well-reproduced, they are quite small and mostly distance views of architecturally significant buildings. The informative text has a level of detail appropriate for serious students of the city or Ottoman art and art history, in an accessible format. The overall effect is of a tour led by a guide with a deep knowledge of the city's artistic and political history. The author takes us from building to building, and within buildings, from room to room, mixing discussions of court history with details of ornamental style. The book is short on social history or cultural context, but contains a glossary of terms and a select bibliography. It will be of interest to general readers with a significant passion for its particular subject.

The Indianapolis Indians scored seven consecutive runs highlighted by homers from Yamaico Navarro and Jordy Mercer as they beat the Louisville Bats for the fourth straight time, 7-3. Rick Vandenhurk started for the Indians and tossed six strong innings to pick up his eighth win of the season. Vandenhurk (8-0) has yet to lose a decision in 2012. A crowd of 11,118 saw the Bats lose their seven straight.
With the Bats up 2-0, the Indians (54-31) caught fire in the fourth. After Starling Marte and Jeff Clement each singled to begin the inning, Yamaico Navarro crushed a three run homer to push the Indians to the lead. The next batter, Jordy Mercer, doubled and later scored when Jeff Larish grounded into a double play to make it 4-2.
After Navarro scored on a throwing error in the sixth, Mercer capped the Indians' scoring with a 436-foot bomb to left field in the seventh to make it 7-2. The Indians have now won seven straight and are 12-3 against the Bats this season.
The Bats' losing streak comes on the heels of a season-high nine game winning streak. During the losing streak, the Bats have been outscored 52-19 and they are hitting just .225.
For the first time since June 26, the Bats were the first to score. Their first run came in the second when Willie Harris scored from third when Mike Costanzo grounded into a double play. The Bats got two more on before Sean Gallagher struck out to end the inning.
The very next inning, the Bats got an RBI single from Denis Phipps. It was Phipps' second straight game with an RBI. The Bats got runners to the corners with one out and a chance to plate more but Neftali Soto struck out and Costanzo grounded out, ending the threat.
Louisville (31-56) had plenty of chances throughout the game. They had two on with one out or less in the fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth innings but scored just once, on Cody Puckett's sacrifice fly in the ninth. They finished with 11 hits but only 3 runs to show for them. As a team the Bats were 3-for-16 with runners in scoring position and left eleven men on base. They lost for just the eighth time (20-8) when outhitting their opponent.
"That's happened to us a few times this year," Bats manager David Bell said. "We spread (hits) out too much and it is frustrating at times."
A pair of bright spots offensively for the Bats were Dioner Navarro and Felix Perez. Navarro, who will represent the Bats at next week's Triple-A All Star Game, went 3-for-4 in the game for his fifth three-hit performance of the season.
"(Navarro) has done it all," Bell said. "He's hit from both sides of the plate and been really impressive defensively."
Perez went 1-for-3 in the game and has now hit safely in 23 of his last 31 games. In that time, Perez is hitting .336 with eleven doubles, two homers, and twelve RBIs. Unfortunately, Perez came up limp after trying to beat out a grounder in the seventh and was removed.
"We're hoping it's cramps," Bell said. "That would be the best case scenario."
The Bats and Indians head to Indianapolis for the final two of their six-game split series, the first of which is Wednesday. Ryan Feierabend (1-2, 5.81 ERA) will be on the mound for the Bats against the Indians' Jeff Locke (6-4, 3.05). First pitch for the Fourth of July affair is set for 6:05 p.m.

The pieces just fold together by hand into rigid forms, and you can take them apart and build into new shapes any time!
this is fun and educational for kids and adults alike, and you get a really nice lampshade when you are done.
As seen in ReadyMade Magazine, Dec. 2007/Jan 2008 issue
If you like our projects please check out the latest on Kickstarter
Step 1: What you need
Below is the shape as an image, and i've also attached a DXF file.
You will need sheets of paper or plastic that allow light to get through. The stiffness of your material determines how large your pieces can be - stiffer material for larger pieces and larger lamps, thinner material for smaller pieces and smaller lamps. (see next step)
You will need a lamp fixture - just a raw socket on a cord. I found some nice ones at Ikea for $4, and some fluorescent bulbs. Use a compact fluorescent bulb so you can get more light without melting the plastic.
I experimented with a number of different plastics and sizes for the parts, here are my results:
- HDPE: works well, looks good, cheap and easy to get. I used 0.8mm thick stock for 8cm pieces (measured flat-side to flat-side). That's about the smallest you'd want to go with that thickness, you could go up to 12 or 15cm with that thickness. this is the least expensive plastic by far. One of the commenters suggested using plastic milk-bottles, which are made of HDPE, this is a good idea!
- Acetal (delrin): this seems to be the best choice for looks, it has the purest white color and best light dispersion (basically, looks just like acrylic except it doesn't crack as easily). I used 0.35mm stock for 6cm and 8cm pieces, and 0.5mm stock for 8-12cm pieces, and 0.65mm stock for 12-15cm pieces. It still is a little brittle and harder to work with than HDPE, and more expensive. if you cut this with scissors it will be somewhat tricky due to the brittleness, but possible.
- Vinyl: I did not try it, probably want to use thicker pieces since it is not very stiff. but you can use colors!
- Paper: I did not try paper but it should be good for smaller constructions.
- Laminated paper: this is a great idea suggested in the coments section. try laminating color tissue paper, then cut the pieces from that. very unique and colorful!
- Acrylic: too brittle, it will crack when you try to assemble. too bad!
- Nylon: has a yellow-ish look when lit up which makes it undesirable.
- for a large construction use stiffer material for the same size piece. ie, if you are making a lampshade with 12 pieces use thinner material than if you are making a shade with 100 pieces, assuming same size pieces.
Where to get it:
HDPE 1/32" sheet: sheet: http://www.usplastics.com item number 42584
Acetal sheet, 0.015" and 0.020":: http://www.mcmaster.com item number 8738K52 and 8738K53
Step 2: Cut out your pieces
- trace them out with a marker, then use scissors or a knife. this is slow but can be done easily by anyone.
- make a "cookie cutter" out of sheet metal in the shape of the part. then heat the cutter with a torch and use it to stamp out the parts (only works for plastic)
- use a laser cutter
Step 3: Assemble!
there are several ways to think about and categorize the different types of geometric shapes that can be constructed. below i've shown top and bottom views of every different type of vertex (corner) that can be built. all larger assemblies are made up of a combination of the types of corners shown below, so think of them as your building blocks.
corners can also be 'left handed' and 'right handed' - mirror images of each other.
Step 4: Assemble!
you can see my examples below, and you can see more at this site: http://www.iqlight.com
that site also sells the parts if you don't want to make them yourself (but i think it is pricey).
Step 5: Other Ideas
the lampshade shown below i spotted hanging from the eaves of a hotel in china. it is made from i think 6 identical pieces (possibly 7 or 8). each piece is a large diamond shape with slots cut in it to allow sliding the pieces together. it looks like each diamond is slid into itself to form one of the central vertical tubes, its free tips are then slid into the other pieces to hold the whole thing together. (i have not actually made one yet, so please comment if you have).
also see:
you can also usually find one or two polygon-inspired lampshade designs at your local designer lighting store, and at Ikea.
I pinned the idea for this light fixture from pinterest a while back and was scrolling though the lamp diys that I had collected, trying to decide which idea I wanted to try. I followed the link back to instructables, and found your post. I love love love this idea! I wish you had posted a pic of what it looks like lit up.
which setting do you use on cricut explore? Do you use regular blade or deep cutting?
Easy to cut with my Cricut Explore - Fairly Easy to assemble. Thank you for providing this file!
What kind of material did you use with your cricut?
i have lots of new shapes and designer pattern pieces available.Pls like my page (if u do :-) ) thku
These lights are beautiful!!!
These lights are beautiful!!!
keep all of the tiles oriented in the same direction when locking them together. this one is made of plastic from milk jugs. use WD-40 to remove the adhesive labels from the milk jugs.
Hello, I really like your lamp and thank you for sharing all the information.
I have a question for material you used.
Did you use laser cut for HDPE and delrin? if so, then where did you do?
Thank you.
Where can we buy pre cut pieces for this universal lamp shade - beautiful. Can we get colored pieces
Where can we buy pre cut pieces for this universal lamp shade - beautiful. Can we get colored pieces
I need to refix a universal lamp shade I have and your not helping much by not giving me the instructions to put it back together after we put a new light in it.
can you buy the pieces for this project pre cut? If so, where and what are they called?
I made several of these years ago when I first saw the on this site, in fact as I turn my head to the right I can see two that Ive kept because I love them so much. Iv'e made them from paper, plastic and even place mats. If the main point of your Instructable is to laser cut your pieces I entirely agree unfortunately I have no money or tech skills so it's hand cutting for me.
So beautiful and decorative... Thank you!
So did this guy steal this from you or what Dan?
i think if you are here at instructables you are more interested in cutting out your own pieces from an interesting material than paying someone else to do it for you.

Jimmy John's fat, short, steamed "specially made" frankfurters are shockingly good just plain on the bun, and until recently were one of the few (or only) natural casing hot dogs available in Philadelphia. Extra snappy with a thick casing, the dogs are super juicy inside, similar in texture to a Zweigle's but flavor-wise closer to an all-beef kosher dog. More
In December, USA Today put out a list of 51 great pizzerias: one for each state and Washington, DC. Did you happen to notice which spot was chosen as New York's representative to this pizza Senate? Was it Totonno's? Motorino? Di Fara? Nope, it wasn't one of those. The New York pick was ZaZa. More
Today's reader recommendation comes from Bonnie Schultz (aka mfkfisher on AHT/Serious Eats), who lives in Central New Jersey. You can read more from Bonnie at her food blog The Blog That Ate New Jersey and find her on Twitter @heureblue. Thanks, Bonnie! If anyone else wants to share some burger intel, here's how to do it.

A sad week in hot dog news indeed. Jimmy John's Piping Hot Sandwiches of West Chester, Pennsylvania, one of the oldest hamburger and hot dog stands in the area, was gutted by a fire last Saturday on the morning of their 70th anniversary, due to a propane explosion as the kitchen was gearing up to sell 70-cent hot dogs all day. Jimmy John's was known for their "old-fashioned special frankfurters"—a Dietz & Watson natural casing, short and stout dog almost similar in size to a Zwiegle's frank. Very unique, especially for the Philadelphia area. And I'm kicking myself for never getting out there. More
As LunaPierCook points out in SE Talk, the local offices of Congressional Representative John Boehner (R-Ohio) were evacuated yesterday after a suspicious package of bacon arrived there.

By robbiefreeling | REVERSEBLOG: the reverse shot blog December 18, 2008 at 10:08AM
Charming comedies about unlikely romances ship out of Hollywood like genetically modified soybeans, so it seems a little unnecessary to import them here, as well. Besides, the joys—sincere or sarcastic—that domestic rom-coms offer are largely based on a kind of fantasy celebrity matchmaking, a process of biochemical hybridization in which you pair, say, a Reese with a Vince, or a Hugh with a whoever. The challenge of importing a foreign romantic comedy is thus twofold: first, it has to compete with the appeal of the American star system; and second, it has to justify its genre-mandated frivolity in a corner of the market ("world cinema") usually reserved for much more dour films.
Moscow, Belgium, a fleet-footed May-December comedy that won hearts at Cannes Critics' Week and the European Film Awards, may seem unnecessary (but then again, Belgium has defied the odds before -- this is the country that gave us Jean-Claude Van Damme when we least needed another hero). The film has no name-stars (Barbara Sarafian's only big credit is Peter Greenaway's 8 1/2 Women), a no name-director (most of director Christophe Van Rompaey's prior credits are in Belgian TV), and a decidedly un-picturesque setting in the titular working-class Ghent neighborhood. But, damn it, the film is charming—and most likely this is due to its very lack of these and other qualities most commonly associated with Hollywood's iterations of the genre.

Step 1: White board animation
My favourite white board animation is a rather complicated animation that would take alot of time and thought.
All that is required to make a white board animation is some dry erase markers and a creative mind.
Not all stop motions have to be complicated some are rather simple
Step 2: Food animation
My cookie pacman is an example of an easy food animation. I already knew how the game worked, and I didn't add any special touches to the game so I had a pretty simple outline to follow.
The video posted below is an example of a difficult food animation.
Step 3: Claymation
Once again, not all animations have to be perfect, some can be quite simple, but even the simple claymation video's are time consuming.

This is a gun package "Poison Gas Nade" for Twilight's GUNS Mod. Multiplayer server side only. It's just same gadget name as McGyver's one, but it has...
Raven Shield is a tactical shooter with realistic properties. Raven Shield moved forwards, adapting various features absent in previous versions. These included the ability to see one's weapon while in first-person view, many new weapons and upgrades (including larger magazines and sights), and a redesigned multiplayer.
It is about an elite team called Rainbow Six specializing in anti-terrorist activities. They were deployed to counter a Neo-Facist groups bent on doing major attacks on South American oil interests and European financial institutions. The game features over 60 different weapons and gadgets, as well as different camos and uniforms. There are two official expansion packs, Athena Sword and Iron Wrath, as well as multiple user made expansions and multiplayer mods.
Athena Sword is the first expansion for the PC version of Raven Shield. Athena Sword expands on the original by adding eight new missions, five new multiplayer missions, three new multiplayer gamemodes, and seven new weapons. Athena Sword was developed by Ubisoft-Milan and released on March 9, 2004. A Mac port was released on November 23, 2004. Athena Sword was packaged with the original game as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 Gold Edition in 2004.
The story of Athena Sword begins in 2007, two years after last wave of terrorist attacks. Team Rainbow neutralized the terrorist threat and captured Gutierrez, but the threat is not over yet as there are still remnants of his terrorist group. The remaining cell still has some chemical weapons, making them a very dangerous threat.
When the terrorist cell strikes in the Castle in Milan and takes hostages Team Rainbow is immediately brought onto the scene to deal with the threat. The terrorist hunt is then continued along the Mediterranean coast. The last terrorist action is to be set in Athens, Greece, where the remaining terrorists plan to launch a chemical attack. Team Rainbow launches the operation Athena Sword and manages to prevent the attack.
Iron Wrath is the second expansion for the PC version of Raven Shield. It was in production for almost 2 years before Ubisoft decided to release it as a free download on June 9, 2005 to FilePlanet subscribers. Since the sites archival, its now available here: both in US version and UK versions. Developed by Ubisoft-Casablanca, this latest expansion features a 7-mission campaign, 3 classic missions, 8 new multiplayer maps, 6 new weapons, as well as 5 new multiplayer game modes. In October 2008, the CD-key activation server was taken offline, suspending the multiplayer features of Iron Wrath.
This section is made so as to compliment other Ravenshield sites such as RVSGaming.

When are you going to put out your new huge map?
if its a mod then put it on pc area not psp. huge difference
Theres no "area"
If the game is available for multiple platforms but its moddable on PC, the game will still show up on search for other platforms. This is a page dedicated to Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, sub pages under this game are for mods.
Though I couldnt find any Rainbow Six games for PSP other than Vegas 1, I think I have seen a lockdown PSP version too (but couldnt find it)...
I think PSP should be removed from the listing.
uh isnt this illegal to poste here and plus this isnt psp games
No its not illegal, its not the full games, its just patches. Its moddb so the maps and stuff posted are the MODS.
Highest Rated (3 agree) 10/10
This game is an absolute classic. The fact that it still has an online community after nearly ten years is a testament to the quality of gameplay. Whether you enjoy single-player missions, online cooperative terrorist hunt, or frantic deathmatch games, Raven Shield delivers. It's not the mindless on-rails gameplay of the Call of Duty series or the R6 Vegas games, where you are always forced down one narrow route; in Raven Shield your choices matter and strategy is of ultimate importance.

PANAMA CITY, Panama, Nov. 14, 2004 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Panamanian Minister of Justice Hector Aleman reaffirmed their countries' continued commitment to working together to ensure the security of the region, including the strategic Panama Canal.
Following a meeting with newly elected Panamanian President Martin Torrijos and his senior staff Nov. 13, Rumsfeld told reporters the United States applauds Panama's "laudable efforts to address the nexus of terrorism, drugs and organized crime" that threatens the region.
The secretary praised the 14,000-member Panamanian National Police Force and the National Maritime Service for its successful interceptions of illicit drug and weapons shipments.
"Better coordination and cooperation are the keys to dealing with narcoterrorists, and Panama is playing an important role," he said.
Aleman said last year alone, the Republic of Panama seized more than 10,700 kilograms of narcotics 9,700 of it cocaine. "This is evidence that Panama is being tenacious" in tracking this threat, he said.
Rumsfeld said many threats facing the world are global in nature, not limited to a single country and unable to be countered by any single country alone.
He pointed to increased cooperation taking place among Latin American and Caribbean countries as an example of countries standing together to face these threats collectively.
"This collaboration will bolster the security of the Western Hemisphere," Rumsfeld said. "The United States looks forward to working with Panama and other nations in these efforts."
A key example of that cooperation, the secretary said, is Panama's and other nations' participation in maritime security operations. This includes the Enduring Freedom naval cooperation initiative focused on security of the Panama Canal.
The plan, which Rumsfeld proposed two years ago during the Defense Ministerial of the Americas conference in Santiago, Chile, brings countries together in a team effort to counter security threats.
Panama joined naval forces from eight other countries last August to conduct PANAMAX, a maritime exercise in which the participants responded to a notional security threat against the canal.
Officials said the exercises support two objectives: freedom of navigation and increased interoperability among nations with critical interest in the Panama Canal.
Torrijos called these exercises important steps toward protecting the canal. In addition, he said, Panama has made "appropriate investments" from radars to industrial and general security measures to increase its security. "It is improving over time," he added.
The Panamanian minister said his government is committed to ensure the security of the canal, considered critical to the flow of goods and commerce in the Western Hemisphere.
"The Panama Canal is the property of humanity," Torrijos said. "Our responsibility as Panamanians is to guarantee that the transit of shipping will be safe and secure."

From FanSided. Check out the entire piece on this link.
After finishing last in the NFC East for four consecutive years, the 2012 Washington Redskins overcame a 3-6 start by winning their final seven games and their first division title since 1999.
Well, it was nice while it lasted. This past season, a little déjà vu saw the club once again stumble out of the gate as the 'Skins dropped five of their first eight contests. But instead of rallying for a playoff berth, Mike Shanahan saw his team lose its final eight games and the veteran head coach wound up losing his job after a 3-13 showing.
So team owner Daniel Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen enlisted the services of Gruden…as in Jay Gruden. The former offensive coordinator off the Cincinnati Bengals brings a bevy of football experience from a variety of leagues, from the World League of American Football (later NFL Europe) to the Arena Football League to being an assistant with his brother, Jon Gruden, while with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The 47-year old coach is now at the helm of one of the league's most fabled franchises, where unfortunately winning has become somewhat of a tall tale. But thanks to a few notable additions and the reminder of that NFC East title just two years ago, there is optimism in the nation's capital (at least when it comes to football).
This is the second part of a 32-team series in which we'll look at the "if, and & but's" of each team's chances to make the postseason.
And Washington will make a second trip in three seasons to the playoffs…

What's in your CSA box this week?
My first pick up is tomorrow. I'm getting some pretty boring stuff on the veggie front, but at the same time I'm excited for the beginning of the season: radishes, komatsuna (a very leafy variety of bok choy), spinach, lettuce, arugula, dandelion greens. I'm also getting six eggs (from real chickens!), a gallon of raw milk, and a fruit share. Don't know what that will be, maybe cherries? At some point I'll be getting chicken too, but don't know when the first one will be dispatched.
My farm is in southwestern Connecticut. Last season was great, and pretty long, we had 23 weeks of pickups.
So, I'm curious to know. What is in your box this week? Where are you located? How long is your season? What kind of fruit do you get? Do you have any optional shares? (milk, eggs, meats, etc.)
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Oct. 10, 1972 HARLQCK EIAL 3,697,366
LIGHTWEIGHT GYPSUM iANEL Filed April 13, 1970 ska- INVENTORS George H. Hurloc'k Ed we rd A. Burke rd wwzzm ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 10, 1972 3,697,366 LIGHTWEIGHT GYPSUM PANEL George H. Harlock and Edward A. Burkard, East Amherst, N.Y., assignors to National Gypsum Company, Buffalo, N.Y.
Filed Apr. 13, 1970, Ser. No. 27,755 Int. Cl. 83% 13/00 US. Cl. 161-159 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Gypsum wallboard in which about half the volume of the core consists of very lightweight particles formed by tearing foamed polystyrene beads into a shredded form.
This invention relates to a lightweight gypsum wallboard having a substantial portion of lightweight aggregate consisting of shredded polystyrene beads.
Several types of lightweight aggregate have been tried, some successfully and some unsuccessfully, in forming the core of gypsum wallboard. The most common means for providing a lower density of the set gypsum core involves the use of a soap to produce a foam which results in a multitude of voids throughout the core. Various problems have presented themselves with regard to the use of various lightweight aggregates. There are practical limits to how low the density can be for any aggregate, without effectively destroying the integrity of the aggregate. Inability of some aggregates to adhere to the gypsum matrix can result in inadequate core integrity. Cost of an aggregate can outweigh its advantages.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved lightweight gypsum board. It is a further object to provide a novel core formulation of set gypsum and lightweight aggregate.
Briefly, the present invention provides a lightweight gypsum board having an aggregate formed by shredding low density polystyrene beads.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent when considered in relation to the preferred embodiments as set forth in the specification and shown in the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a paper covered gypsum wallboard embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged end view of a portion of the gypsum Wallboard of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an elevational view illustrating, in enlarged form, particles of low density shredded plastic foam aggregate.
Referring to FIG. 1 there is shown a gypsum Wallboard 10 consisting of a core 12 enclosed with a face paper 14, which extends across the wallboard face 16 and completely around each edge 18, and a back paper 20 which extends almost across the wallboard back 22. Face paper 14 has edges 24 extending onto the wallboard back 22. Edges 26 of back paper 20 overlap the edges 24 of face paper 14.
Each wallboard edge 18 is of tapered form for use in drywall construction with well known joint-concealing systems; however, the invention is suited for wallboards having a square edge. bevelled edge or round edge.
'allboard 10 is preferably made on well known con tinuous machines for producing gypsum wallboard of all kinds, wherein face paper 14, in continuous form, is disposed on a continuous conveyor. :1 water slurry of the settable gypsum core material is disposed on the face paper, back paper 20. in continuous form. is disposed on the slurry, the edges 24 of the face paper are folded up and over the edges 26 of the back paper, the settable gypsum core material hardens, the continuous hardened board is cut into desired length boards 10 and the boards 10 are dried.
The paper may be of the type commonly employed for gypsum boards, such as relatively high quality cream face paper for face paper 14 and a greyback grade of paper for back paper 20. These papers are commonly made on a cylinder type paper-making machine wherein about six to ten plies are combined to form a unitary paper sheet of about .020 inch thickness. The creamface type paper dilfers from the greyback in that the top ply or top two plies of creamface consist of a lighter colored pulp stock, forming a cream-colored outer surface on the wallboard face 16.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the end of wallboard 10, showing the combination in the core 12 of shredded plastic foam fragments 30, and a continuous matrix therebetween of set gypsum 32. The composition of the core of wallboard 10, containing these very lightweight fragments 30, produces a very lightweight wallboard.
EXAMPLE I A formulation of core 12 that has been found highly advantageous in accordance with the invention, based on 1000 sq. ft., of V2 inch wallboard, is as follows:
'Settable gypsum 946 Water of rehydration 123 Starch 9.33
Pulp 7.2 Set Gypsum Accelerator l2 Shredded plastic foam 1 8.3 Soap 17 Core weight 1106.00 Face and back paper 144.00
Wallboard weight 1250.00
1 .3 lb./eu. ft.
As is well known in wallboard manufacture, there will also be needed an additional amount of water to provide the desired consistency during forming of the core, which excess water is evaporated off in the drying step.
EXAMPLE II An even lighter wallboard has been satisfactorily produced with the following core formulation:
Settable gypsum 915.8 Water of rehydration 119.1 Starch 8.93 Set gypsum accelerator l3 Shredded plastic foam 1 S Soap .17
Core weight 1065.00 Face and back paper 144.00
Wallboard weight 1209.00
.3 lb./cu. ft.
Waste newspaper pulp, a common ingredient in wallboard, has been omitted in Example II. A second difference, essentially unrelated to the omission of the pulp, is the lighter weight, which resulted from a different mixing of the wet ingredients avoiding breaking down as much of the soap-produced foam in the mix. The pulp in Example I may have lessened the stability of the soap-produced foam to some extent.
. Although determining variability in accordance with the invention would require endless evaluation, it is contemplated that at least the following ranges of ingredients is possible:
Settable gypsum lbs 900-1200 Water of rehydration -lbs As required Starch 6l4 Pulp lbs 14 Accelerator lbs As required Shredded plastic foam cu. ft Up to 35 The shredded plastic foam is preferably the product of shredding expanded polystyrene beads. Shredding is to be understood as distinctly different from a severing which produces a clean or smooth surface. It is essential, in accordance with the invention that the shredded plastic foam be small particles which are produced in a way which produces an extremely uneven surface,
One suitable method for producing the critical shredded rough surface is disclosed in US. Pat. 3,338,848 to be by a hammer mill, and since the fragmented particles which are described therein are equivalent to the critical shred ded plastic foam of the present invention, reference thereto can assist in understanding the present invention.
The expanded polystyrene beads may be ellipsoids with a major diameter of about A to /2 inch and a density of about .3 to about 1.0 lb./cu. ft, preferably about .3 lb./ cu. ft. After shredding the beads, the density of the shredded material should be about the same as the bead density and the shredded particles will mostly be of a size of about V to /4 inch.
In FIG. 3, two shredded plastic foam fragments 30 are shown, enlarged, to give an idea of the randomness and roughness of the shape, which permits settable gypsum to form crystals which penetrate the fragments and become firmly bonded thereto, in the setting of the gypsum board core 12.
Wallboards made in accordance with the invention have a central cast gypsum core of unusual strength and in tegrity, in many respects equal to the characteristics of the present standard gypsum board cores which average about 50% higher weight.
As can be seen in FIG. 2, the surface of the central cast gypsum core conforms smoothly to the paper and has a surface formation which is independent of the shape of the fragments 30 embedded within the cast, or, in this example, the wallboard core.
The formulations of the invention permit ease of manufacture of gypsum wallboard and result in improved drying characteristics, permitting faster drying and less heat requirement relative to standard wallboard. Warehousing and shipping costs are reduced since larger units, of equal weight, can be handled.
Having completed a detailed disclosure of the preferred embodiments of the invention, so that others may practice the same, we contemplate that variations may be made without departing from the essence of the invention.
We claim:
1. The method of making gypsum wallboard comprising the steps of forming lightweight expanded cellular plastic beads having a major diameter of about A to V;
inch and a density of about 0.3 to 1.0 lb./cu. ft., shredding said beads into lightweight fragments of a size of about ,5 to 4 inch having highly uneven, rough exterior surfaces, mixing said shredded fragments with an aqueous settable gypsum slurry, placing said slurry between a face paper and a back paper to form a wallboard, the solids content of said slurry comprising a major portion of gypsum binder, and allowing said slurry to set and dry with said fragments embedded within said slurry between said face paper and said back paper, thus resulting in a very lightweight, strong gypsum core.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said beads are formed of polystyrene.
3. The method of claim I wherein said set and dried wallboard has a nominal weight of about 1200 pounds per thousand square feet, per half inch thickness.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said shredded fragments are about one-half the dry volume of said wallboard.
5. A set gypsum cast containing a lightweight aggregate and a major portion of weight of set gypsum binder, said aggregate consisting of shredded particles of low density cellular plastic, said particles having highly uneven, rough exterior surfaces, said set gypsum forming a substantially continuous binder matrix extending about and into said rough surfaces of said shredded particles, said cast having an exterior surface formation which is substantially independent of the shape of said particles.
6. A set gypsum cast as defined in claim 5, wherein said low density cellular plastic particles are shredded polystyrene beads of about 0.3 to 1.0 lbs. per cu. ft.
7. A lightweight gypsum wallboard having a central core disposed between a face paper and a back paper, said central core consisting of a set gypsum cast as defined in claim 5.
8. A lightweight gypsum wallboard as defined in claim 7 wherein said low density cellular plastic particles are shredded polystyrene beads of about 0.3 to 1.0 lbs. per cu. ft.
9. A lightweight gypsum wallboard as defined in claim 8 wherein said particles are of a size of about to A inch.
10. A lightweight gypsum wallboard as defined in claim 8 wherein said particles are about half the volume of said central core.

Photoshop CS4 offers an abundance of helpful shortcuts and hidden tricks that allow designers and photographers to get more done in less time. In Photoshop CS4 Power Shortcuts, Michael Ninness reveals hundreds of tips to boost productivity, including the top 20 power shortcuts every Photoshop user must know. He covers strategies for better document and panel management, and offers techniques for becoming quicker and more nimble when using layers, adjustment layers, and layer masks. Exercise files accompany the course.
Download the keyboard shortcut guide from the Exercise Files tab.
All right, let's cover some Free Transform shortcuts. Something you'll do a lot of, working with layers, and resizing them, and rotating them and what not. So I have got this small layer selected here. I have got a big one, which we'll deal with later, but I have got a small layer. I'm going to do Command+T, Ctrl+T. That opens up the Free Transform mode. It puts a bounding box around our image or the layer contents, whatever that happens to be. So if I wanted to scale this, of course, just grab a corner handle and start dragging. This let's me scale freeform here. If I want to do it proportionally of course hold the Shift key down and that will scale it proportionally.
If I let go of the Shift key and I hold down the Option key or the Alt key that will scale from the center. If I want to scale and do it from the center proportionally at the same time hold down Shift and Option, or Shift+Alt, and now I'll scale and center proportionally at the same time. If you have screwed things up, you just want to get out of here and forget that you ever got into Free Transform for the moment just hit the Escape key. And that just cancels everything you've done in that current mode. Command+T/Ctrl+T to bring it back. Let's do Shift+ Option again and drag. And if you put your mouse outside the bounding box, you get a rotate cursor, which means you can freely rotate the image as well. You do get a little rotate indicator up here in the Options bar. In fact, if you know numerically what you want to scale or rotate the image to, or the layer to, you can just go in here and type the numbers in directly.
If you are ready to actually accept these operations then you just hit the Return key or the Enter key to lock those in. So Escape to cancel, Enter to apply and they are some basic shortcuts for the Free Transform mode.

I suck at the 9-to-5. I can never seem to be awake before noon, unless I stayed up the night before. I do this more often than I should, but I feel like I am most productive, the most creative, the most energetic when I can greet the sun in the morning and say goodnight to the fog that rolls twilight blue into soft pinks. Then sleep through the glaring sun only to start the cycle again.
The worst part of these mornings - they're usually a transition night to fixing my poor sleep schedule. The best part of these mornings - breakfast. The best part of my weekend - comics.
I picked up Danger Girl and the Hypernaturals. I grew up a Danger Girl fan. It was an action packed comic with spunky main characters. Charlie's Angels for the 90s. However I was underwhelmed by the ads on almost every other page (this is no exaggeration), disjointed story, and change in art style from the original editions.
I got Hypernaturals off the newer stock shelf, which turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. Superheroes meet space in this approachable, slightly cliché story. It's a little bit cheesy, little bit wordy, but once you dive in it falls together. It's also ad-free, except the publishing ads in the back. Will definitely be heading back to the store for Vol.2 - not bad for less than $4. Which is less than I spent on breakfast.

It was a one-line text message that set off the first faint warning bell in her head.
Leah, then 28, had been dating Jeff for nearly a year, and things were going great. When they first got together, she was fresh out of a breakup—Leah's first husband and the father of her two young sons had cheated on her, and they were getting divorced—and Jeff was a charming, good-looking guy, open and spontaneous with her and her kids.
When Leah got the text from Jeff that night, she was out with a big group of girlfriends. It was karaoke night at a local bar, and she assumed when she opened the message it was going to go something like, "Hey, miss u."
Instead, it read: "Why r u texting Jen if she's with you?"
At first, Leah was confused. She had just texted Jen because Jen was sitting outside; it was her turn to sing and Leah texted to let her know to come inside. Then it clicked: Jeff was monitoring her cell phone.
"When I got home, I found out he had logged in to my Verizon account and was refreshing the page all night so he could see who I was calling and texting," says Leah. "When I called him out on it, he was apologetic, saying he did it because he was so scared of losing me—he loved me that much. It did make me feel loved. And a little nervous."
This is how it often starts, experts say: The slow build of doubts and the nudging little voice that says something is off—a voice that's heard and then ignored, pushed back during moments of fun and connection. Those moments are important to keep in mind when trying to understand how abusive relationships develop, says Janine D'Anniballe, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist specializing in sexual assault and trauma who trains law enforcement to recognize the signs of domestic abuse. "In the beginning of most relationships, it's all love and good times—and that's especially true when it comes to relationships where there's abuse," says D'Anniballe. "Abusers are often incredibly loving and attentive at first, and they say all the right things. It makes their partner feel safe. And when she feels safe, she sees controlling and overbearing behavior as protective and loving."
Despite that initial red flag, Leah was happy to be with Jeff. Smart and ambitious, she was working in public relations when she first met him at a bar one night after work. Her impressive résumè and outgoing nature—not to mention her classically elegant, blonde and blue-eyed beauty—should have made her feel like Jeff was lucky to snag her. But she had a vein of insecurity that stemmed from the end of her first marriage. She had married Chris right after she turned 20 and had planned to grow old with him. "My parents have been married for more than 30 years," she says," so Chris cheating on me really shook my world."
Leah was still going through the divorce process when she met Jeff. He acted so smitten that she didn't really care that he had a tendency to stretch the truth. (Early on, Jeff told her he was a chef, when he was actually a waiter.) Leah also looked the other way when he flirted right in front of her. After all, she couldn't believe the quintessential tall, dark, handsome guy chose to be with her.
But as time went on, Jeff started taking every opportunity to cut her down, to reinforce her doubt. This was especially true when it came to her sons, Russell and Kyle. "At first, Jeff would tell me that I could never break up with him because he loved my boys so much," says Leah. "Then he started telling me that because I was divorced with two kids, I came with a lot of baggage and nobody else would want me. And I believed him."
