The Armillary Sphere: A Concentrate of Knowledge in Islamic Astronomy
This short introduction leads to the full article published in PDF format, where the reader may find a rich critical apparatus and a full list of references.
The armillary spheres are one of the three types of three-dimensional celestial models which also include the spherical astrolabes and celestial globes. The development of the armillary spheres reached an advanced level of sophistication during the 10th century, appearing in two main varieties.
The Demonstrational Armillary Spheres were earth-centered models where the circles of the ecliptic, equator, tropics and polar circles are represented by rings which encompass a tiny model of the earth. This structure is held in place by a graduated meridian ring and is pivoted about the equatorial axis. A horizon ring forming part of the base also holds the structure in place including the meridian ring. The moon, planets and stars did not constitute part of the model for these spheres.
The second type is the Observational Armillary Spheres which differ from the above by the absence of the earth globe in their center and having mounted sighting devices on the rings. These spheres are tools used to determine coordinates and other values, and the demonstrational spheres appear to just give relative motion of bodies about earth.
Muslim astronomers used and constructed armillary spheres as early as the 8th century, the first being the treatise of 'dhat al-halaq' or "the instrument with the rings" of al-Fazari which is considered as the earliest known treatise on the subject. Sources also indicate that ?Abbas Ibn Farnas who lived in 9th century Cordoba (d. 887 CE) constructed one but was unfortunately lost without a trace. There are no early Islamic armillary spheres which survived, and thus this document is based on information obtained from treatises.
There were many Muslim astronomers who wrote about the observational armillary spheres, an example of which is a discussion by Jabir b. Aflah (d. mid-12th century) also known as Geber. They built on the works of Ptolemy's Syntaxis, known as the Almagest (written in the 2nd century) in the Islamic world. The use of armillary spheres for observations is well evidenced by observatories such as the Maragha observatory (13th century), the Samarkand observatory (15th century) and the Istanbul observatory (16th century).
Figures 1 and 2 are two of the few known illustrations of demonstrational armillary spheres of Islamic origin. Figure 1 is from an 18th century Ottoman manuscript while Figure 2 shows an illustration by the 15th century Cairo astronomer al-Wafa'i.
The armillary sphere in Figure 1 was published in an edition of Jihannuma in 1732 by the Ottoman publisher, printer and diplomat Ibrahim Muteferrika (d. 1745). Muteferrika had brought book-printing to Turkey and had updated the original work. The original Jihannumma was a large geographical work written in the 17th century by the famous scholar and bibliographer Katib Celebi (Haji Khalifa). This work was an attempt to combine traditional Islamic wisdom with Western geographical knowledge. [1]

by: Samia Khan, Sat 01 December, 2007
The history of the astrolabe begins more than two thousand years ago, but it is in the Islamic classical world that the astrolabe was highly developed and its uses widely multiplied. Introduced to Europe from Islamic Spain in the early 12th century, it was one of the major astronomical instruments until the modern times. In this concise and beautifully illustrated article, Emily Winterburn casts a short story of the Islamic art of making astrolabes – developing the different varieties, the description of their structure and parts and their uses in social, religious and scientific functions. Seeking Seamless Scientific Wonders: Review of Emilie Savage-Smith's Work by: Najma KaziNajma Kazi reviews some salient aspects of Emilie Savage-Smith's work. Emilie Savage-Smith, who is a Professor of History of Science at the Oriental Institute (Oxford University), is an internationally recognised authority on the History of Islamic Science, and is a key figure within a small band of historians that are spearheading the discovery of Muslim Heritage and its impact on civilisation. Arabic Star Names: A Treasure of Knowledge Shared by the World by: FSTC Research TeamFSTC Research Team
Many of the prominent stars known today are of Arabic origin as they bear names given to them during the golden age of Islamic astronomy. A major contribution in this field is that of al-Sufi (10th century). Presenting shortly the historical context of the old nomenclature of Arabic star names, the article contains also a list of 165 stars known by Arabic names. Resources: FULL ARTICLE: The Armillary Sphere - A Concentrate of Knowledge in Islamic Astronomy, by: Samia KhanThe armillary sphere is an ancient astronomical instrument reproducing a model of the celestial sphere. In its simplest form, it was known since the antiquity. The article presents the principle of its drawing and use, as displayed in Muslim heritage, and hence shows the concentrate of scientific knowledge that lies behind the apparent simplicity of the instrument.

Offered BLENDED at King of Prussia Campus and FULLY ONLINE.
Admission | M.Ed. Reqs.| Grad. Certificate Reqs. | Courses | Learning Outcomes
The M.Ed. in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a 36 credit program which will provide students with specialized knowledge of the application of behavioral principles. The program is designed to develop and enhance the comprehension and use of effective evidence-based practices to support professionals who require expertise in the understanding and modification of behavior.
The Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis is an 18-credit program that includes courses in behavior principles, data analysis, applications with children and youth with behavior problems, ethics and consultation skills necessary to work with other professionals and important adults in schools, homes and communities.
What is Behavior Analysis?
Behavior analysis is a specific approach to the understanding of human behavior. An applied behavior analyst is someone who has in-depth knowledge of the field and methods of the study of the science of behavior and technology of behavior derived from this science.
Behavior analysts use environmental change procedures to improve the lives of people. Behavior analysis services help people to learn new behaviors and to increase or reduce existing behaviors. The scope of these services ranges from addressing challenging behaviors of an individual person to changing the behavior of an entire organization or community. Behavior analysis has many applications, such as developing training procedures that build verbal skills in children with autism, helping teachers to work with students in inclusive settings, and preventing delinquency.
What Core Skills Will I Acquire in Behavior Analysis?
In this program, students develop solid skills in the basic principles of behavior analysis and the skills to transfer basic principles into comprehensive functional behavioral assessments, behavioral interventions, and program evaluation. This program offers training in a breath of assessment and intervention techniques with a positive behavioral support and behavioral treatment focus. Additionally, Arcadia's program stresses the consultative skills that graduates will need to work effectively with educators and parents.
Why Study at Arcadia?
All of Arcadia's instructors have extensive experience working as certified behavior analysts in the field as well as teaching at the university level. Arcadia's program is designed to develop professional expertise in behavior analysis and the consultative skills necessary to affect real change in schools, homes, and community settings. All instructors are Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA).
Are Courses Taught Online?The M.Ed and the Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis are fully online programs. In addition, courses are offered in a hybrid format at the King of Prussia campus.
Are Courses Approved by the BACB?
The Behavior Analyst Certification Board, Inc. has approved the initial (five-)course sequence as meeting the coursework requirements for eligibility to take the Board Certified Behavior Analyst Examination. Applicants will have to meet additional requirements to qualify. The BACB requires that a master's degree in a related field be obtained prior to applying for board certification.Students who will take the exam in 2015 or later, must complete the six-course sequence to qualify. The six-course sequence is currently under review by the BACB for approval.
Credit toward a graduate degree in Education: The 18 credits earned in this certificate program may be applied to a M.Ed. in Special Education or a M.Ed. inABA These courses can also be used as concentration courses in the masters of Counseling degree program with departmental approval and advising.
Academic Policies
Students in Arcadia University Graduate Certificate programs are subject to the academic policies of the College of Graduate Studies. Grades of "B" or better in every class are required to qualify for the Certificate.
Transfer Credit
Students will be allowed to transfer six credits for the foundation courses and they can take elective courses instead.Transfer credits are not permitted in the Certificate program.
Why Study Behavior Analysis? Applied behavior analysis provides the most evidenced-based intervention within all of psychology and education. Behavior analytic procedures have been coded into educational law. For example, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act calls for a functional behavioral assessment (FBA) to be conducted prior to suspension of students with disabilities. ABA has helped to support youth and adults with autism, conduct disorders, oppositional defiant disorders, and depression, as well as couples needing therapy. It has served as the basis for educational procedures such as direct instruction and assessment procedures such as curriculum-based measurement. It is essential for professionals functioning within a Response to Intervention Model.
Note: ABA courses (ED661, ED681, ED682, ED683, ED684) must be taken in sequence but students can take two courses at a time. All courses will be offered online and will be offered in a blended format at the King of Prussia campus.
(36 credits) The following courses are required:
Foundation Courses: (18 credits)
Core Courses:
Elective Courses: (9 credits)
Culminating Seminar: (3 credits)
(15 credits)The following courses are required:
ED 661 Applied Behavior Analysis I: Principles and Teaching Strategies (3 credits) This seminar is designed to provide students with introductory knowledge of applied behavior analysis (ABA). Topics addressed include the history of ABA, principles of ABA, reinforcement, data collection, teaching procedures, teaching complex behaviors, generalization, and maintenance of skills. Readings, assignments, and participation in online coursework instructional activities offer an essential understanding of behavior analytic principles. Ethical considerations in the application of these principles are discussed. Challenging behaviors are studied from a learning perspective.
ED 681 Applied Behavior Analysis II: Procedures for Behavior Change (3 credits) In this course, students focus on the methods of behavior analytic research. The topics covered are defining applied behavior analysis; selecting, defining and measuring behavior; constructing graphs to interpret behavior and analyze behavior change; research designs such as alternating treatments, reversal, multiple baseline; changing criteria designs; and planning and evaluating behavior analytic research.
ED 682 Applied Behavior Analysis III: Strategies for Youth with EBD (3 credits) This course analyzes the basic process of behavior change and demonstrates how behavior analysts serve as behavior analysts/specialists to the community. Topics build on the basic knowledge of ED 661 with more advanced learning in basic principles of behavior analysis; behavioral assessment; the application of those principles to children; intervention methodologies; writing of behavioral objectives to build self control; and programming for generalization. Special attention is paid to comprehensive programming and the use of multiple intervention methods. In addition, students will design behavioral intervention plans based on functional behavioral assessments. Prerequisites: Admission to the program and satisfactory completion of Applied Behavior Analysis I and II with a "B" or better.
ED 683 Behavior Analysis IV: Behavior Analysis of Child Development (3 credits) Conceptualization of behavioral problems and the origins of behavioral disorders are critical to treatment and to the functioning of people through the lifespan. This course focuses on basic principles in Behavior Analysis and how they shape the development of typical and atypical children. The role of these principles in normal development and developmental problems such as language delays, motor developmental delays, conduct and oppositional defiant disorder, childhood depression, problems of attachment, and autism are explored. The course reviews field applications including direct observations of children's development; functional behavioral assessment; curriculum design; verbal behavior assessment and intervention; curriculum based-measures; and intervention strategies that involve both the school and the family. Prerequisites: Admission to the program and satisfactory completion of Applied Behavior Analysis I, II and III with a "B" or better.
ED 684 Behavior Analysis V: Behavioral Consultation in Homes, Schools and Communities (3 credits) This course focuses primarily on behavioral consultation skills needed to produce a strong behavior analytic case conceptualization and to link that conceptualization to intervention. This course uses online technology in combination with role plays and feedback to build behavior analytic case conceptualization and execute effective behavioral consultation. Behavioral case conceptualization is the integration of information from a functional assessment, complete with skills and adaptive behavior assessment, as well as ecological assessment. Special topics include behavior analytic models of teacher and parent resistance, as well as interventions for resistance. This course is an intensive lab course that focuses on the practical aspects of "how to" consulting (i.e., what is done each session, each step of the way). It is critical that students participate in each class to engage in the role-plays and get feedback from other students. Prerequisites: Admission to the program and satisfactory completion of Applied Behavior Analysis I, II , III and IV with a "B" or better.
*ED685 Ethics and Professionalism (3 credits) This interactive course guides students through the analysis of definitions, philosophical foundations and applications of ethics in their professional life. Ethical dilemmas are common in helping professions, such as applied behavior analysis, teaching, counseling, social work, etc. From personal ethical stands to professional guidelines and established laws, students will learn how to analyze ethical questions involved in professional relationships. Students will review traditional ethical perspectives and specific professional guidelines, and they will create and discuss case studies that illustrate situations likely encountered in daily interactions. Students will also examine a conceptual framework for the use of evidence-based practices. This course fulfills the requirements of the Behavior Analysis Certification Board of 45 instructional hours in Ethics (approval from the BACB pending).*Pending Approval
Upon completion of the Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis, the participant will:

Dearest reader: I'd just like to let you know that I intend to kill you.
Calling 911 yet? Why not? I just threatened your life! If not a police call, then my threat at least merits a blog post, right?
Just about every week, it seems there's a story about a celebrity, athlete or politician receiving death threats from morons on Twitter. The media often treat these frivolous incidents like they're a fatwa on Salman Rushdie. The latest example: New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, for performing poorly on fantasy football teams. (Fitting that there be fantasy threats for a fantasy sport.)
The stories often give the impression that this is some kind of shocking event for which we should pity the "victims," but anyone who's spent 10 minutes online knows that these assertions are entirely toothless.
What's surprising isn't that death threats on Twitter are happening, but rather that the media seem to be covering them more and more frequently. It's one thing if public figures are actually being hunted down and attacked by @Chad_Bro697 on the regular, but exactly 0.00 percent of these celebrity threats have even resulted in an assault. It's like reading regularly that a meteor could in fact crush Mandy Patinkin today.
Erin Andrews, Ted Cruz, Selena Gomez, pretty much every NFL player . . . They've all been in harm's way of these entirely harmless threats, followed by handwringing coverage in prominent places like Yahoo, The Washington Post, and Mashable. Anna Gunn made a big note in her New York Times op-ed about receiving death tweets for her role as Skyler White in "Breaking Bad." Type the name of any public figure and "death threat" into Google or "kill" into Twitter. There's a good chance you won't be disappointed - except for, well, with humanity.
So how do we stop this trend of pointless reporting? There really aren't any clear solutions. There will always be a dark corner of the Internet, so you can't stop the source. And you can't tell websites to stop publishing these stories, because they surely generate boatloads of mindless page views. Maybe the solution is to just let the Internet continue to be the Internet, and people will eventually grow bored of this "news." Or perhaps we should just send death tweets to the writers who report on these occurrences. It seems like they take these threats rather seriously.

Summative assessment tools that correspond with the Common Core State Standards allow teachers to address the academic language needs of all students
MONTEREY, Calif., Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CTB/McGraw-Hill, one of the nation's leading educational assessment partners, today announced the launch of LAS Links Forms C & Español B, a new pair of research-based, summative assessment forms designed to measure students' language proficiency in correspondence with the goals of the Common Core State Standards. LAS Links Forms C & Español B build directly upon the proven success of the LAS Links suite of solutions, which emphasizes language development in the areas of speaking, listening, reading, writing and comprehension for academic achievement and college and career readiness.
"Language proficiency in academic and social settings has always been absolutely vital to students' success in the classroom, and the Common Core has raised the bar even higher," said Ellen Haley, president of CTB/McGraw-Hill Education. "With these new additions to the LAS Links suite, teachers can be confident that their students are fully prepared to engage in the academic discourse that will be expected of them in today's classrooms."
LAS Links Forms C & Español B measure comprehensive skills in academic and social language across the domains of speaking, listening, reading, and writing for the content areas of mathematics, science, language arts, social studies and technical subjects. The new assessments provide educators with a valid and reliable test instrument to determine how well students are progressing toward the acquisition of the English and Spanish language skills needed to be successful in academic settings.
CTB/McGraw Hill Education will soon be launching LAS Links Form D, a parallel form to its research-based Form C for measuring English/Spanish language proficiency and a new version of LAS Links Online. LAS Links Online will feature an entirely new user interface that is designed to be more intuitive and flexible for both students and teachers. The new user interface also allows administrators to more easily manage their licenses, including assigning units to schools and specific teachers, and immediate access to new reports that provide language measures for academic and social language and a new longitudinal reporting feature.
All new LAS Links forms remain calibrated to the same scale as the existing forms, allowing educators to continue to monitor the growth of their students with consistent proficiency scores.

"They're the real deal" said Chillicothe's Drew Meister after watching the Ironton Tigers score a 75-52 victory over his Cavaliers. It was the Tigers' 11th straight win.
The #3 team in Ohio's Division 3 got off to an early 6-0 start, but the Cavs kept pace on a bucket by Nate Rosenbauer to get on the board, the Tommy Bolte followed with a three and Nolan Taylor dropped in a layup and tacked on a free throw to tie the game at 10 two minutes later.
Then, the much bigger Tigers finished the first quarter on a 10-2 run for a 20-12 lead through one.
Meister knew the Tigers would be a load, but felt it was important to stay within the structure of his team.
"What makes them the real deal is the fact that they can put three big 'hosses' out there to defend a three guard lineup" said Meister.
"We wanted to stick with what we've been doing with the three guard lineup… from a defensive standpoint it might have been okay for us to do that, but from an offensive stand point it's bit much of a mix and a match for us."
Meister encouraged his players at the half when they were down 37-27. Ironton had jumped ahead by 13 at 35-22, but Zach Johnson put together a 5-point run to whittle the lead down to 8 before the Tigers got a buzzer beater by Zac Carter for the 10-point margin.
"Our guard play stood the test tonight. I told our 'bigs', it wasn't that you didn't have heart, you didn't have the gut check, we didn't really have a good answer" for 6'6" Trey Fletcher, who finished with 24 points and 6'4" Trevor White and Aaron Stephens who combined for 17.
The Cavs saw Warren Friday, who presented as long and lanky front court lineup. The Tigers height was accentuated by thick, muscular bodies. Add to the mix, Carter. The 5'8" point guard became Ironton's all-time scoring leader last week and hit the Cavs for 21.
Chillicothe had two Cavaliers reach double figures, Johnson's 14 and Bolte's 12.
"A good ball club in Ironton" said Meister. "I can see them going the distance."
The Cavs (7-13/5-4) play their final SEOAL game at Gallia Academy Friday and host Canal Winchester in the regular season finale. The post season begins a week from Friday with Washington Court House at Southeastern High School. The Blue Lions lost to London 71-69 in overtime Tuesday.

Forces on inclined planes
Force of friction keeping the block stationary Block of wood kept stationary by the force of friction (Correction made in next video)
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In the last video, we had a ten kilogram mass
- sitting on top of an inclined plane at a 30 degree angle
- And in order to figure out what would happen to this block
- we broke down the force of gravity on this block into
- the components that are parallel to the surface of the plane
- and perpendicular to the surface of the plane
- and for a perpendicular component, we got 49 times the square root of 3 N downwards
- That's 98 times this quantity over here, downwards
- But we said look! We don't see this block of ice accelerating downwards into this wedge
- because the wedge is supporting it
- So there must be a counteracting force that the wedge is exerting on the block
- And that counteracting force is the normal force of the wedge on the block of ice
- And that is exactly opposite to the force of gravity in this direction
- The normal force of gravity is the normal force of the wedge
- And these completely balance each other out in that normal, perpendicular direction
- And that is why this block is not accelerating either in that direction
- or in this direction over here
- But the one component of the force of gravity that did not seem to have any offset
- (at least the way we set up the problem in the last video)
- is the force/component that is parallel to the surface of the plane
- And we figured that out to be 49N, it was
- essentially the weight of the block times the sin of this angle
- And we said look, if there is no other forces
- then it would be accelerated in this direction
- And to figure out the rate of acceleration
- you take the force in that direction divided by the mass of the block
- and you would get 4.9 m/s^2
- Now let's say that wasn't happening. Let's say that you were to look at this system
- right over here and the block was just stationary
- And now, for the sake of argument, let's assume it is not ice on ice
- Let's assume that they are both made out of wood
- And now all of a sudden we have a situation where the block is stationary
- If it is stationary, what is necessarily the case?
- Well we already determined that if it is not accelerating in this normal direction
- there must be zero net forces on it
- But if it is stationary as a whole
- then there must be zero net forces in the parallel component too
- So there must be some force counteracting this 49 N that wants to take it down the slope
- So there must be some force counteracting
- the component of gravity that wants to accelerate it down the slope
- And the question is what is this force? We're dealing with a situation now
- where we're dealing with a stationary block, a block that is not accelerating
- So what is that force?
- I think you know from experience maybe what is the difference between
- a block of wood on top of wood and a block of ice on top of ice
- A block of ice on top of ice is much more slippery; there is no friction
- between ice and ice, but there is friction between wood and wood
- To make it a little bit more tangible, maybe we'd put some sandpaper on the surface over here
- And then it becomes a little bit clearer. The force
- that is keeping this block from sliding down in this situation is the force of friction
- and the force of friction will always act in a direction opposite
- to the motion if there was not any friction
- or the potential acceleration if there was not any action
- So what is the force of friction in this case?
- Well, this block is completely stationary. It's not accelerating down the ramp
- The force of friction over here is going to be 49 N, upwards, up the ramp
- Now I want think about, this is something that can be determined experimentally
- as long as you have some way of measuring force, you can do this experimentally
- But the interesting question here is
- how much do I have to push on this block
- until it starts to move down the ramp? How much do I have to push on it?
- Let's say you are able to experimentally determine
- that if you can apply another 1 N on this
- then all of a sudden, I can at lease get the box to start accelerating down
- Not the rate which it would do naturally, but I can just start to nudge it down
- if I give it another push of one N in the parallel direction
- So what is the total force--so exactly one N
- So the total force at this point that's acting on it in order to just start to budge it
- I'll call this the bulging force
- Remember here isn't a traditional class
- F sub B for the budging force
- The budging force is in the parallel direction
- If I'm applying 1 N in this direction and it already has 49 N due to
- the component of gravity in this direction, then my budging force is 50 N
- And so an interesting thing that you can determine
- based on the materials that are coming in contact with each other is
- just how much force you need to just start to overcome friction
- In this case, it's the budging force. That's a term that I made up
- And the interesting ratio which tends to hold for given materials pretty well
- is the ratio between the amount of force just to budge it
- and the amount of force between the two objects
- between how much force they are exerting on each other
- And in this case, the amount of force that is being exerted by this, by the wedge on the block
- is the normal force, is 49 sqrt of 3
- Maybe I should say the magnitude of the budging force
- over the magnitude of the force that is putting these two things in contact
- In this case, it is 49 square root of 3 N
- Over the magnitude of the normal force, and that is 49 sqrt of 3
- We call this the coefficient of static friction
- We're gonna use this a little bit more deeply in other problems
- but it tends to hold true for different materials so that
- in the future if you have a different mass, you have a different incline
- but you have the same materials
- given the normal force, you can figure out the budging force
- You can figure out exactly how much force you need to put
- if you know this, which you usually figure out experimentally
- So what would be the value in this case? You have 50 N over 49 square root of 3 N
- Let's get the calculator out
- So I have 50 divided by 40 times the square root of 3
- Gives me .72--I'll just round to two significant digits--0.72
- This is 0.72
- And then you can use this information. This is the coefficient of static friction
- We call it the coefficient of static friction because
- this deals with the ratio of the force of friction relative to the normal force
- I guess the force just to overcome the force of friction, just kind of get right over that
- the most friction that can be applied by kind of the abrasiveness of the 2 things
- when the object is stationary
- I'll do a whole video on how this is different
- when an object is stationary to when it's moving
- A lot of times, they're very very very close, but for certain materials
- you have a very--at least, a noticeably different coefficient
- of friction when the object is stationery as opposed to when it is moving
- So I'll leave you there. In the next few videos, we'll use coefficient of friction
- or calculate coefficient of friction to do some more problems
Be specific, and indicate a time in the video:

@IslandTIffiney's Bruschetta
2 Lbs (very ripe) vine ripened tomatoes (preferably from thefarmers market)
1 medium yellow (or one half of a Vidalia onion)
6 fresh basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
1 14 oz. can of artichoke hearts
3 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil (1st cold pressed is the best)
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
4 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 Tbs grated parmesan cheese
1 baguette (French bread) loaf from your local bakery
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Dice the tomatoes, onions, mozzarella cheese, and artichoke hearts. Combine in a medium mixing bowl. Mince garlic, chop basil leaves, and add to vegetable mixture. Add olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, and parmesan. Stir. Cover bowl, and chill in fridge at least 20 minutes, but it will be best tasting if it marinates over night.
Cut baguette on diagonal about 1/2 inch thick slices. brush each slice with olive oil on both sides of bread, and bake in the oven 350ºF just until it starts to brown lightly.
Top toasted baguette slices with vegetable mixture and enjoy!
If by chance you have left over tomato mixture, refrigerate and eat later with salad, on a sandwich in an omelette, or just by itself! It's quite fantastic!

Looking for some "opinions" or ideas on how or why this happened. I intended to peel off a wallpaper boarder and much to my surprise I discovered the paint peeled off down to the primer on the drywall. The house is a '70s ranch and there were probably 6-8 layers of paint. The paint was peeling off in sheets after getting hit with the steamer for only about 10 seconds. I've done a fair amount of painting and have peeled wallpaper off most of the rooms in this house since we bought it. *I've NEVER see this happen*. I ended up "peeling" the entire room in about 5 hours (10x12 bedroom). So... the question is ... What happened that the paint never properly adhered to the substrait? My plan is to skim the walls with a quality mud to fix the few areas with damage then apply the best quality (oil based) primer I can find. Any and all comments welcome. | |||
what happened is that incompatible products were used. you could mix some spackle and fill in the peeled area, prime, and paint. and if any moisture got under the paint from inside the walls, oil paint will be debonded quickly. use latex instead. but it would be wrong. it's done in thousands of apartments every day, but the rest of that wall is ready to flake off. I would take a stab at using that steamer and a big ol' putty knife to see if the rest of that dodgy paint can be knocked off. warning, danger, fattening, etc... there are layers of lead paint in that mess, no kids allowed. cover up the vents and furniture, wear a mask, etc etc etc. once you get to a solid surface, then wash it with TSP or a "TSP Replacer" where the Phosphate Gods have been banned, rinse, let dry. I'd use a good bonding primer like KILZ or Zinsser 1-2-3 in latex, and then come back within the recommended time (2-24 hours) and paint with a superior washability eggshell formula using microspheres. those are generally the top of everybody's lines... Miller, Hirschfelds, Valspar, Sherwin, PPG, etc. and that would be a safe fix and be a solid base for the rest of the home's life.This message has been edited.

You are fortunate that the mess came off so easily. My first house I had a multi later wallpaper/paint situation after hours of frustration decided to bite the bullet and I actually pulled down the drywall. As it turned out that was a good decision since I replaced the armored cable wiring and addressed the lack of insulation in the walls at the same time. Follow swschrad's advice and you should be fine. You won't know if you can do something if you don't try. | ||||

I love Cate and Kate together in this picture. They are 2 of my favorite actresses.
18th Palm Springs International Film Festival
Posted on January 07, 2007 at 9:53 AM
Jessica Biel, Sienna Miller, Kate Winslet, and Cate Blanchett were all invited to attend the 18th Palm Springs International Film Festival. Although Cate is not seen holding a statue, she walked away with an Career Achievement Award from the festival. Jessica got the Rising Star award. Kate received the Desert Palm Achievement Award (not quite sure what that one represents). I searched and searched and couldn't find an award for Sienna. So I guess she just went for the free food.
Those dark man brows need to be lightened up…"Dude Looks Like A Lady"
LOL–I love how Jessica & Sienna look like they swam in the pool and got some sun. While Cate & Kate look like they stayed indoors to AVOID sun. What is with the matching blue dresses?

Updated at 6:45 p.m. ET: LONDON - Elton John sang "I'm Still Standing," Stevie Wonder crooned "Isn't She Lovely," and Paul McCartney sent "All My Loving" as musical royalty celebrated Queen Elizabeth II's 60-year reign with a concert outside Buckingham Palace on Monday. But the joy was tempered by news that the queen's husband, Prince Philip, had been hospitalized with a bladder infection.
About 12,000 contest winners watched the live performances as part of four days of nationwide celebrations for the Diamond Jubilee marking the queen's 60 years on the throne. Members of the royal family, including Charles, his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Princes William and Harry sat in a royal box to watch the show. The queen wore a gold lame cocktail dress under a dark cape.
The first of more than four thousand beacons have been lit as the global celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee were stepped up. The Queen will light the final beacon from the concert stage at Buckingham Palace where Sir Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue and a host of other stars will perform in her honor. Forecasters say the weather should be kinder after yesterday's downpours. ITN's Damon Green reports.
Monday's concert also featured Ska band Madness singing 1980s hit "Our House" from the roof of the 775-room palace. The band changed the lyrics to use proper English: "Our house, in the middle of one's street."
It's official: Twitter kills the Queen's English
The veteran entertainers seemed most popular. The crowd roared along to Cliff Richard's, "Congratulations," and cheered Bassey singing — fittingly — "Diamonds are Forever." Prince Harry could be seen singing along — "Why, why why?" — as Tom Jones belted out "Delilah," while Prince William and his wife Kate joined in on John's "Crocodile Rock."
McCartney closed the concert playing "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" on a Union Jack guitar before the queen took the stage with her family.
Palace officials said the prince, who will turn 91 on Saturday, was taken to the King Edward VII Hospital in London from Windsor Castle on Monday as a precaution and will remain under observation for a few days.
As the Diamond Jubilee show ended, Prince Charles took the stage and encouraged concertgoers to make some noise for his father. The crowd responded with a roar and chants of "Philip."
The heir to the throne paid tribute to his mother, addressing her as "Your Majesty — Mummy" and leading the crowd in three cheers for the monarch.
Did the queen enjoy the music? Her musical tastes are a mystery, and she appeared to be wearing yellow ear plugs as she observed the concert, according to The Associated Press. According to The Guardian newspaper, the only song the queen has ever been known to request is "Some Enchanted Evening" from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "South Pacific."
Despite the dreary weather, organizers said more than one million people gathered on the banks of the Thames to watch the 86-year-old monarch glide past in a barge decorated with flowers, with her closest family at her side.
In the flotilla were kayaks, rowboats, barges and the Motor Torpedo Boat 102 on which the Allied Forces commander, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill inspected warships before the 1944 D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France.
Peter Jeary, NBC News
Despite heavy rain, spectators lined up from dawn on Sunday to get the best view of the River Thames flotilla.
A gloomy, gray - and great - day for the UK
All were decorated with flags and banners, making a colorful spectacle harking back to Tudor times when river pageants regularly took place for royal festivities.
Six participants in the pageant were treated in hospitals for exposure to the cold and wet, and medics attended to about 40 spectators along the river.
After the concert, a network of 4,000 beacons were lit across the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, leading into Tuesday, the final day of the extended holiday weekend.
The small Pacific island nation of Tonga claimed the honor of lighting the first beacons. Another was scheduled to be lit in Kenya at the Treetops Hotel, where Elizabeth was informed of her father's death in 1952, making her the queen.
While more than a century separates festivities marking Queen Elizabeth II's 60 years on the throne from those honoring her predecessor Queen Victoria, surprising similarities connect the commemorations. NBC News' Jim Maceda reports.
The jubilee celebrations will conclude on Tuesday with a thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral, a carriage procession along the Mall avenue, a fly past and farewell wave from the royal family to crowds gathered in front of Buckingham Palace – events that will be covered live on a special edition of NBC's TODAY.
Secret donors, foreign firms bankroll UK's Diamond Jubilee celebration
The jubilee event have underlined broad support for the queen in Britain, where she is riding high in opinion polls and is seen as a symbol of service, stability and national unity.
The displays of pomp and pageantry also gave a lift to many at a time of economic austerity and spending cuts, and boosted confidence ahead of the summer Olympic Games.
BBC, via Twitter
British tabloid newspaper The Sun marked the wet festivities with this headline on Monday.
Support for the royal family is not universal however, with views ranging from indifference - around two million Britons traveled abroad to benefit from the extra days off - to outright opposition.
Queen's critics face uphill battle during jubilee
"Her achievement is just staying alive, doing little and saying less," Graham Smith, head of campaign group Republic, told Reuters on Sunday.
Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating 60 years on the throne. Watch archival footage from her childhood and ascension to the throne to the present day.
His group estimates that the royal family, which officially sets taxpayers back between 30 and 40 million pounds a year, in fact costs closer to 200 million pounds when security and travel are included.
There might be four days of celebrations in Great Britain for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, but some Londoners still have to work. NBC's Duncan Golestani finds a quick way to join in the fun.
Queen Elizabeth is only the second monarch to mark 60 years on the throne, after her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria reached the milestone in 1897. She is also on course to become the longest-serving British sovereign in 2015.
NBC News, msnbc.com's Alastair Jamieson, The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Huffington Post: "There comes a time for every presidential candidate at which his or her freedom of movement is severely restricted, once what is known as a "protective press pool" becomes part of their campaign. For Mitt Romney, that day came Monday. From now on, through Election Day on Nov. 6, a small group of reporters will travel with Romney wherever he goes. When he is not going anywhere, the reporters will gather in the morning wherever he is, and wait."
Can you imagine having the job of reporting each detail, 24/7, of Romney's Awkwardly Beige Life? This is where Mitt's acting skills (or, if you like, programming) and his campaign's staging, props, and writing staffs will be put to the test. Can they pull this off — can they make him appear humanoid?
@CharlesDharapak: SUPERMARKET: Mitt Romney pushes shopping cart at Hunter's Shop and Save in Wolfeboro, NH via @AP t.co/c4Fh6kAC
Cont: Romney left the hardware store — where he bought "hardware stuff" — and went to the grocery store and then a Rite Aid, according to a subsequent report from the Post's Phil Rucker:
Gov. Romney left Bradley's Hardware at 8:54 a.m. with a beige bucket of goods. Asked what he bought, Romney told your pooler, "Hardware stuff." Then, he said, "Going to the grocery store now," and climbed into his Suburban.
At 8:57 a.m., Romney arrived at Hunters Shop 'n Save, a nearby grocery store. Before entering the store, he stopped to get two ears of "native sweet corn" from an outside display. They were on sale for two for $1.00.
When your pool asked if he was cooking tonight, Romney said, "Absolutely." At that, Romney grabbed a shopping cart and went inside the store. Your pool remained outside in the parking lot.
At 9:09 a.m., Romney exited the store with a shopping cart full of groceries. He loaded up the trunk of the Suburban himself, without help of agents. He had 12-packs of Caffeine Free Diet Coke and Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi, as well as a 24-pack of Poland Spring bottled water. He also had two plastic bags of groceries. Your pooler spotted Greek yogurt.
When your pool asked whether he was cooking tonight, Romney said, "I'll make my own dinner. That's not exactly cooking."
Romney said, "I've got some folks coming over today." When one reporter asked if they were Rob Portman or Tim Pawlenty, Romney laughed, "Ha, ha, ha, ha," but did not answer.
Why, he's just like us: buyin' "hardware stuff," shoppin' for all of 12 minutes in the grocery store, pushin' that shopping cart, loadin' that trunk, havin' folks over…

Lawrence, WI- A construction worker died early Friday morning following a crane accident on a worksite on a Highway 41 expansion project.

Construction is a dangerous occupation so it is critical that employers provide safe and well-maintained equipment along with comprehensive safety training. Sometimes the injured employee can become permanently or temporarily disabled.
When an employee is injured on the job they may be entitled to compensation, which can be obtained by an accident lawyer, if their employer has failed to adequately protect them from danger.
Employees, who are injured while working, should contact an accident attorney immediately to determine if an employer was negligent in their duties and begin gathering the evidence needed to build an effective case. Injury victims can be assured that their accident lawyer will fight to make certain they get a favorable settlement for their injuries.

Is it possible to use this tool to load an official sony firmware from usb? Like loading 3.50 to play future games that require 3.50 etc...
just a thought, why doesn't someone with a debug console with debug firware copy it from devflash1 and then post it so we can run the debug firmware with this tool?

The pellets are the only key to my success so far, not having to deal with fillets and the mess associated makes it far easier (especially for the homeowners) to take care of him.
Had the flu today and yesterday, so the substrate and bigger sump will have to wait.

As far as i know, the little guy was captured at the same time my other Rhom was... so it could be a Xingu Rhom, but i cant prove that so hes just a "Rhom" to me. I really wasnt a fan of my Xingu... Super shy, never ate (in the 2 years i had him, would only eat salmon 3 times a year literally) and was the most boring fish ever.
I got rid of the Xingu when I got into saltwater (with 2 or 3 other rhoms i had) but was so attached to him because he accepted pellets, i found him a new home at one of my friends. Its actually kinda neat not seeing him EVERY day, because you really notice size difference. For 3 or 4 months I didnt have time to stop over and check on him, and BAM hes noticeably bigger. His tank for most his life (to this point) was a 55 gal, with 2 large HOB filters, and few water changes because nobody will use the gravel vac, or put their hands in his tank. They keep up on top-offs and watching the temp, and call if anything looks off or something cool happens.
Heres his approx timeline, and his size when i moved him:
6 months in a 10 gal to 1"
6 months in a 33 gal 3"-
2 years in a 55 gal 8-9"
And some way old pics of my other rhoms
only real pic i have of the Xingu:
Rhom i got at 1", grew to 4 or 5 and then mysteriously died
I will stop digging now, but... Yeah
Posted 23 November 2010 - 03:34 PM (#18)
It will be cool to see your Rhom reach 17+" to get a good timeline on the growth cycle.

text: anything that can help? anytime i eat i feel bloated and sometimes get a sick feeling like i've ate way to much even when I don't. i've tried digestive enzymes which seem to work for maybe a week then goes back to normal. same with RPN gut health, it worked great for about a week or so then nada.
