Indoor air pollution: sources, health effects and mitigation strategies
Stove, Banglasdesh. Credit: Flickr bongo vongo
Indoor air pollution refers to the occurrence of contaminants within a home, workplace (or other inhabited enclosure) arising from such sources as fuel combustion for heating or cooking; from stored substances, furnishings and carpeting; or from the particular geology (underlying rocks) of an area.
As cited by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Bulletin, the report of the World Health organization (WHO) emphasizes the 'rule of 1000' which states that when a pollutant is released indoors, it is one thousand times more likely to reach people's lungs than a pollutant released outdoors [1]. More than 1.6 million people, mainly women and children, die prematurely each year after breathing high levels of indoor smoke. This represents approximately twice the estimated mortality due to outdoor pollution [2]. Children and senior citizens can be more vulnerable to indoor pollution because their immunity may be compromised.
The quality of indoor air can affect the health, safety and comfort of occupants. Indoor air problems can be subtle and do not always produce easily recognized impacts on health. Nonetheless, poor indoor air quality gives rise to demonstrated short- and long-term health problems [3]. Significantly, people in general spend approximately 90% of their time breathing indoor air. There is little question, therefore, that we need better science-based information focusing on source characteristics as well as on health effects and consequences of indoor air pollution—so as to avoid and mitigate unnecessary health and environmental outcomes.
Sources of Indoor pollutants
Sources of indoor air pollutants can originate within any relatively enclosed structure (for example, an office building, a single family dwelling); of course, problematic pollutants can be drawn indoors from outdoor sources. Since indoor air is recycled over and over, it can trap and accumulate pollutants.
Table 1 summarizes the major sources of indoor air pollutants
Indoor pollutant
Major sources
Carbon monoxide
Fuel/tobacco combustion
Fine particles
Fuel/tobacco combustion, cleaning, fumes from cooking oil
Nitrogen oxides
Fuel combustion
Sulfur oxides
Coal combustion
Arsenic and fluorine
Coal combustion
Volatile and semi-volatile
Fuel/tobacco combustion, furnishings, construction materials, fumes from cooking, consumer products
Furnishing, construction materials, cooking
Consumer products, dust from outside
Wear or demolition of construction materials
Wear of painted surfaces
Biological pollutants
Moist areas, ventilation systems, furnishings
Soil under buildings, construction materials
Photocopier, printers
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs)
Cables, computers, TVs and household textiles
Fuel/tobacco combustion, fumes from food, e.g. from cooking oil
Indoor pollutants and their sources [4]
Among all the indoor air pollutants, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) persist in the environmental media and are extremely lethal even in small amounts [5]. Exposure to POPs is recognized as an important environmental risk factor for humans causing cancer, nervous system damages, reproductive and immune system impairments [5]. Once released from the sources, they can remain unaltered and persist in the environment for long periods because of their extensive half-life. They are lipophilic, bioaccumulate in organisms (in their fatty tissue) and may then build up in food chains (biomagnification). In addition to that, POPs can reach organisms through the long-range transport mechanisms crossing regional and national boundaries [6,7].
Biological contaminants like bacteria, molds, viruses and yeasts are usually found in moist indoor environments. They can also act as human pathogens. Their potential health effects include allergies, irritation and sensitivity (because of volatile organic chemicals, VOCs, produced during metabolism) and toxicity (due to mycotoxins produced by molds). Molds can cause major structural damage and may lead to financial losses. There have been reports of severe illness as a result of indoor mold exposure, particularly due to Stachybotrys chartarum, a toxic black mold [8].
Dilution of indoor pollutants with outdoor air is effective to the extent that outdoor air is free of harmful pollutants. There is strong evidence to demonstrate the association between ventilation, air movement in buildings and the transmission or spread of such infectious diseases as measles, tuberculosis, chickenpox, influenza, smallpox and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) [9]. In addition, the odors may result in psychological effects and disruption in work.
Indoor air pollution is a major health concern in today's globalised world. In many developed countries, energy efficiency improvements sometimes make habitations comparatively airtight—with reduced levels of fresh air and elevated levels of pollutants [10]. On a global scale, the use of solid fuels for cooking and heating is likely to be the largest source of indoor air pollution. In developing countries, most indoor air pollutants originate from the combustion of unprocessed solid biomass fuels like wood, dung, coal and crop residues used by poor urban and rural folk for cooking and heating [4]. Approximately, 90% of rural households in developing countries still rely on such fuels [11]. Burning such fuels produces a large amount of smoke and other air pollutants in the confined space of the home, resulting in relatively high exposure levels.
Consequences of Indoor Air Pollution Exposure
Health effects from exposure to indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or even in some cases after many months or years [1]. Also, immediate effects may show up after a single exposure or after repeated exposures including irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Such symptoms of diseases as asthma may occur soon after exposure to indoor air pollutants. Increases in the incidence of asthma and allergies worldwide during recent years have stimulated research on potential environmental causes [12].
The occurrence of respiratory and pulmonary diseases is the most common outcome of the indoor air pollutants. The most commonly reported health effects of indoor air pollutants are acute respiratory infections (ARIs), especially childhood ARIs, that are the single most important cause of mortality in children aged less than 5 years, responsible for between 1.9 million and 2.2 million children deaths annually in this age group globally [12]. Women and children in rural areas of developing countries are exposed often to high levels of pollutants from biomass combustion that is associated with a range of respiratory symptoms. According to a report by Ghosh et al. (2011), the chemicals resulting from combustion of coal may form residues on household surfaces and food.
Children raised in homes using indoor coal for cooking or heating appear to be about a half-inch shorter (skeletal growth impairment) at age 36 months than those in households using other fuel sources [13]. In developed countries, smoking is responsible for over 80% of cases of chronic bronchitis (inflammation and swelling of the lining of the airways leading to its narrowing and obstruction), emphysema (damage of lung alveoli characterized by breathing difficulty) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (characterized by wheezing, chronic cough and breathing difficulty) [2].
Indoor air pollutants (from cooking for instance), results in exposure of the eyes to the radiating smoke containing toxins that are absorbed by the lens of the eyes. This results in the opacity of the lens. The prevalence of cataracts is higher in females than in males in developed and developing countries [14,15] and in developing countries cataracts occurs at an earlier age [16]. Contact with indoor air pollutants (for example, CO) can also result in adverse pregnancy outcomes; still births and low birth weight (LBW). LBW has severe effects including increased mortality during infancy [17].
Another set of health problems associated with time spent in a building are commonly referred to as Sick Building Syndromes (SBSs) [3]. Common related symptoms include, eye, nose and throat irritation; mental fatigue; headaches; airway infections; coughing; wheezing; and nausea. SBS has been described as having three or more above mentioned symptoms. The common causes of SBS include inadequate ventilation and contaminants from various sources.
Often, it is difficult to determine which pollutants are the causes of poor health even if indoor pollution is the problem. Many indoor air pollution sources cannot be detected by our senses and the symptoms they produce can be vague, making it hard to attribute them to a specific cause. Some symptoms may take weeks or even months—even years—to develop, making it even harder to determine the cause.
Preventing Indoor Air Pollution
Basic approaches to eliminate indoor air pollution include:
- source control (a preventive technique; for example, banning smoking in public areas) and source isolation (when source can not be removed; for instance, separate venting of bathrooms); and
- increased ventilation and dehumidification to facilitate the reduction of microbial growth.
However, indoor pollution may be decreased by properly identifying and eradicating the sources.
Measures to control indoor air pollution can be summed up as [1]:
- Educating the public: Public education is valuable in preventing illnesses resulting from combustion of biomass fuels to ensure awareness of the long-term health effects of indoor air pollution. Also, awareness campaigns should be organized in schools and villages so that the most vulnerable populations (that is, the elderly, women and children) can be targeted.
- Workers and working conditions surveillance: Workplace and the workers should be thoroughly evaluated for problem identification and correction. If, after the remedial action, the illness persists in the workplace, the affected person should be considered for permanent reassignment to another area.
- Choice of fuel: The choice of fuel for domestic energy can be associated with such factors as availability of fuel, affordability and habit of the user. Around 50% of people in developing nations rely on coal and biomass for energy requirements.
- Cooking stove: Incomplete combustion due to inadequate design of the stove leads to enormous emissions. Efforts should be made to modify stove designs to make them fuel efficient and provide them with a ventilation mechanism (e.g. chimney) to remove pollutants from the indoor environment.
- Ventilation: Ventilation ensures mixing of the outside air with indoor environment to reduce accumulation of indoor pollutants.
- Elimination of the sources of microbial contaminants: Regular clean-up and repair of all areas where water leakage has occurred including floors, roofs and drains helps to ensure removal of microbial habitats. Feathered pets should be restricted to less occupied parts of the home. Washing cats and dogs can reduce allergen levels for a few days.
Indoor air pollution is responsible for a high degree of morbidity and mortality warranting immediate steps for intervention by the general public and the policy makers.
It is caused by burning traditional fuels such as dung, wood and crop residues and causes considerable damage to the health particularly of women and children. Cataract and adverse pregnancy outcome (LBW and still births) are conditions shown to be associated with the use of biomass fuels.
People who may be exposed to indoor air pollutants for the longest periods of time are often those most susceptible to the effects of indoor air pollution. Such groups include the young children, the elderly, and the chronically ill, especially those suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular disease. While pollutant levels from individual sources may not pose a significant health risk by themselves, most houses have more than one source that contributes to indoor air pollution. There can be serious risks from the cumulative effects of these pollutants.
The first and the most important step in the prevention of illness caused by the indoor air pollution is to educate the public and the policy makers to eradicate the problem form the grass root level. Systematic data about actual exposure levels to indoor air pollutants experienced by people should be collected. Awareness programs should, therefore, be undertaken to reduce indoor pollutants.

Garfield County sheriff's deputies say 35-year-old Cindy So had been hiking with a friend July 4 near Spooky Gulch when So began struggling in the heat.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/166XmK5) So's friend left her about a quarter-mile from the trailhead to fetch water and seek help.
Officials say the friend returned to find So unconscious and performed CPR until rescuers arrived.
Deputies say medics flew the woman to a hospital in Page, Ariz., but were unable to revive her.
So is among four hikers who have died this summer hiking in southern Utah. The other three died while hiking The Wave in Kane County.

Co-sign the letter to President Obama & congressional leaders opposing cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits
Because of the unwillingness of conservative Republicans to compromise, any fiscal showdown deal will likely require the support of members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus in order to pass the House of Representatives.
As such, leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus have developed a strategy to prevent cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in any deal. They are circulating a letter among their colleagues declaring their opposition to any benefit cuts to these vital programs, and looking to get enough co-signers to make it clear to both congressional leaders and President Obama that any deal containing benefit cuts will not pass the House.
Please join with Daily Kos and Progressive Congress by becoming a citizen co-sponsor of the letter declaring your opposition to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid cuts in any fiscal showdown deal. Progressive Congress, the non-profit foundation for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, will use your show of grassroots support to help get as many members of the House to sign this letter as possible, and to make our opposition to benefit cuts as clear as possible to both President Obama and congressional leaders.
We want to thank you for standing strong in the American Taxpayer Relief Act to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from benefit cuts that would jeopardize the well-being of millions of Americans.
We write to affirm our vigorous opposition to cutting Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits in any final bill to replace sequestration. Earned Social Security and Medicare benefits provide the financial and health protections necessary to keep individuals and families out of poverty. Medicaid is not only a lifeline for low-income children, pregnant women, people with disabilities and families, it is the primary source of long-term care services and supports for 3.6 million individuals. We cannot overstate their importance for our constituents and our country.
That is why we remain deeply opposed to proposals to reduce Social Security benefits through use of the chained CPI to calculate cost-of-living adjustments. We remain committed to making the changes that will extend solvency for 75 years, but Social Security has not contributed to our current fiscal problems and it should not be on the bargaining table.
Similarly, we oppose proposals to increase Medicare cost-sharing requirements or to raise the age of eligibility. Half of all Medicare recipients live on less than $22,000 a year – yet they spend, on average, three times as much of those limited incomes on health care as other Americans. Raising their already heavy cost-sharing burden or increasing the age of eligibility doesn't lower health care costs, it just shifts them to those who can least afford more financial burdens – seniors, people with disabilities and their families.
A commitment to keeping the middle-class strong and reducing poverty requires a commitment to keeping Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid strong. We urge you to reject any proposals to cut benefits, and we look forward to working with you to enact approaches that instead rely on economic growth and more fair revenue-raising policies to solve our fiscal problems.

Kids Fashion Print Scarf - Todd Oldham's craft ideas for homemade giftsTodd Oldham
It's easy to make a potato-printed tube scarf out of a cut-up T-shirt printed with Marimekko-inspired geometric patterns.
- XXL shirt
- Potato
- Fabric paint
- Scissors
- Knife
Ask an adult to help you make your stamp by cutting the potato in half and then slicing a square form into the cut face. Remove the side pieces away from the square form by slicing inward along the side.
Cut across the T-shirt just under the sleeve and cut off the hem. Slide a piece of cardboard or foil inside the shirt to prevent the ink from going through to the other side.
Hold the round end of the potato stamp, place your stamp onto the fabric paint and stamp your pattern on the fabric. To "set" your printed design, follow the fabric paint's instructions.

For myself, I prefer either hex or no grid at all. Hex is handy for fast distance calculations and provides smoother turning radii and 12 facing directions.
No grid is great for playing on a VTT and is less distracting regarding the map and the options that you have available. Unfortunately not all systems can cope with the lack of a grid such as threat zone rules and the like.

With the release of the last Harry Potter movie only a couple weeks away, now is the time to look over some of the best Harry Potter magical items. Whether you have been a fan since the first book or own enough Harry Potter costumes to recreate the cast, these are the top six items from the mind of JK Rowlings.
Tom Riddles Diary
Imagine trapping a part of your soul within a diary. For as long as that diary exists, you can communicate with others from the outside world, so long as they decide to write you messages. In an interview, Rowling stated that a diary is a very scary object, saying, The temptation particularly for a young girl, is to pour out her heart to a diary. All of that information, all of those secrets, are forever displayed to whoever cares to read it, or write to you.
Write in your own Tom Riddle's Diary!
Hermiones Handbag
While not quite as cool as keeping your soul in a diary, Hermiones handbag is one of the sweetest fictional creations. Not only does it have the capability of holding nearly an infinite amount of goods, it never increased in weight. If she ever stuck Harry inside of it, there would be no need for invisibility cloaks.
Blood Quill
Maybe its the writer in me, but the Blood Quill is a sadistically amazing invention. Used by Umbridge throughout the Order of the Phoenix as a disciplinary tool, the Blood Quill draws blood of out the users hand and uses it as ink. It is a very painful process that actually leaves Harry psychologically scarred in the later books his hand tingles whenever he hears Umbridges name.
Cloak of Invisibility
Sure, Hermiones handbag is capable of hiding nearly everything, but only the Cloak of Invisibility can actually hide the wearer from everything, even the effects of death. While other invisibility cloaks will actually lose their power overtime, the Cloak of Invisibility never ceases to hide the wearer. It is the absolute perfection of invisibility and only Harry Potter could be so responsible while wearing it.
Resurrection Stone
The Resurrection Stone, the infamous object sought after for so many books, gives the wielder a power that could drive a man insane communication with the dead. At first glance, this power may seem to be astonishing. Any person who has ever died can be talked to while wielding the Resurrection Stone, but it can be more of a curse then a benefit. Imagine talking to your deceased lover, never able to hold them again. Ask Cadmus Peverell how that ended for him.

For all of its usefulness, acetate does cause a few headaches — ink that won't stay, a yellow or grayish cast to old acetate, edges that curl. The alternatives are expensive and sometimes just don't suit the purpose.

Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM)
You have been told that you have an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). An AVM is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels within the brain. Although some AVMs never rupture, both known factors (such as an increase in blood pressure) and unknown factors can lead to rupture. If you have an AVM, you were probably born with it. But most people don't know they have one until a problem occurs. Signs of an AVM include bad headaches, blurred or double vision, and seizures (jerking movements that are out of your control).
Understanding an AVM
The brain controls the body. You can move and feel because of the brain. And it is the brain that makes you able to think, show emotions, and make judgments. An AVM can damage the brain and put the rest of the body in danger.
Inside the Skull
Under the scalp and the skull, a tough membrane (called the dura) surrounds the brain. Beneath the dura, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cushions the brain. Blood vessels carry nutrients and oxygen-rich blood throughout the brain.
A problem with blood flow
An AVM is a tangle of blood vessels. It can cause pressure to build up in the blood vessel and prevent normal blood flow. If the pressure becomes too great or the wall of the AVM vessel weakens a blood vessel can burst and blood can leak or spurt into the brain. This can damage parts of the brain that control vital body functions such as sight and movement. In some cases, problems caused by an AVM can even lead to death. But an AVM can be treated.


text: A pencil, a blank sheet of paper and above all the Jaeger-LeCoultre philosophy is all the designers need, when drawing the faces of watches destined to become legends. In the beginning was the word, or rather, the sketch. Their first rôle is to outline the ideas, display a function or visualise a new concept. They are interpreters of the Manufacture's language of shapes. Always attentive to current tastes but with one eye turned towards the future, they remain true to the firm's long traditions. It is just this fusion of tenses, this cohesion between past, present and future which characterises the design of a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch.

With the 67th Map of the Week finds us in the borderlands town of Óðinn's House in the Kingdom of Slovania. Technically speaking, this map is different from previous releases. The JPG version includes a zoom view of the inner town. The original map in Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 format uses FM8's multi-zoom ability. Multi-zoom changes such things as resolution and text sizes when zooming in and out of map areas with FM8. With the menu options Map/Zoom to, one can activate multi-zoom. Full map resolution and text sizes are available at zoom levels between 0 and 60. Middle zoom resolution and text sizes appear at zoom levels from more than 60 to 85. High zoom resolution and text sizes are activated at zoom levels over 85.
Key to the Maps of Óðinn's House
1. Town Hall. This rather large complex houses the local government of Baron Vojtěch, who also rules several surrounding farm hamlets.
2. North Star Inn. The North Star is Óðinn's House's first, oldest and most expensive hostelry. Both as overnight guests and in the public room, the inn tends to draw merchants, officers, government officials and the wealthier. The 18 single rooms cost 9 bronze pieces nightly. The six double rooms cost 8 bronze pieces per person nightly. The house dark beer is 3 copper pieces per quart/liter tankard. Fine spirits from the Royal Distillery in Novýdomov run from 3 bronze pieces to a gold piece for a shot/0.1 liter glass. Fine Windland wines cost from 1 to 60 gold pieces per quart/liter bottle. Meals start at 6 bronze pieces and go to more than 1 gold piece.
4. Trailsend Inn. The Trailsend is just about everything that the North Star isn't. Innkeeper and owner Petr, a 51-year-old human male merchant, welcomes customers from all walks of life including adventurers. He also makes a point of hiring only waitresses who do after-hours business, a practice that has given the Trailsend a bit of a shady reputation but one that hasn't hurt business. The inn consists of a brewhouse and a three-story main building. The 10 single rooms cost 6 bronze pieces per night. The six doubles cost five bronze pieces per person nightly. The public room serves breakfast to house guests, but it remains closed during the day. It opens from 17 bells (5 p.m.) to midnight seven days a week. Drinks are limited to the house lager beer at 5 copper pieces per quart/liter tankard (pints are not served) and spirits from the Royal Distillery in Novýdomov at 1 to 6 bronze pieces per shot/0.1 liter glas. The menu offers simple, traditional Slovania dishes of excellent quality. Prices range from 3 to 6 bronze pieces.
5. Seer Žaneta's Tower. There are three known adult spellcasters in Óðinn's House. (Townsfolk do not know the true nature of the inhabitants of Location No. 14.) All three live and work here in Žaneta's compound. Žaneta is a 76-year-old human female seer-scholar who makes her living working as a sage. She also has a steady income as court mage for Baron Vojtěch.
6. Viola's Bakery. Master Baker Viola, a 37-year-old human female artisan, sells her baked goods on a retail basis and to the taverns and inns of Óðinn's House. She is married to the butcher Lubomir, whose shop is in the adjacent location No. 7.
7. Butcher Lubomir. Master Butcher Lubomir, a 38-year-old human male artisan, is married to the baker Viola, whose shop is in the adjacent location No. 6. Lubomir offers a wide variety of smoked and cured sausages and meats. He buys beef, veal, pork, lamb and poultry from local farmers, freshwater fish from local fishermen who take their catch from the Hexwood River and venison and boar from hunters. He also sells fresh meat when itle after slaughtering, and he sells meat, poultry and fish to local eateries. Lubomir has noticed the gradually increasing number of adventurers passing through Óðinn's House who stock up on supplies there and he has discovered that he can cash in on their business. He makes ration packs for those who are under way. They include dried, smoked hard tack that will hold out on the trail for half a year. His wife, Viola, bakes a special waybread that is sold only in the ration packs in Lubomir's shop. To round out the rations, Lubomir also buys long lasting, dried fruits and vegetables from nearby farmers.
8. Marketplace and Market Tavern. The entire market square and tavern belong to the town. Anyone wishing to set up a stand on the market square must obtain a permit at town hall. The number of stands on the market varies considerably, from a few local stands to a nearly full market square, depending upon who is in town selling goods on any given day. The town rents out the tavern on a long-term contract. The tavernkeeper who rents it is required to keep the tavern open during market hours, from 8 bells in the morning until 19 bells (7 p.m.) at night, however, he does have the right to remain open longer. Patrik, the current tavernkeeper, has been running it for the last 18 years. Patrik sells lager beer from the Trailsend Brewery (Location No. 4) and fruit drinks and teas that he buys from traveling peddlers. He also sells salted bread sticks that Viola's Bakery (Location No. 6) makes especially for him, serving them with butter or with smoked boar ham from Lubomir's butcher shop (Location No. 7). Beer costs 3 copper pieces per pint/half-liter tankard. The fruit drinks and teas cost 2 to 5 copper pieces per cup. Bread sticks with butter cost 3 copper pieces, and with ham added, 5 copper pieces.
9. Boris' Firewood. Heating is only occasionally necessary in Óðinn's House's semi-tropical climate, but firewood still is needed to heat water, cook, brew and for a number of other uses as well. Boris buys freshly cut firewood from the Border Forest, stores it sheltered from the weather for two years and then sells it at two gold pieces per cord/ster. He runs the operation alone, but his wife Pavlina often helps with sales.
10. Bronze Forge. Master Smith Regína, a 56-year-old female artisan, learned the trade from her father and took over Óðinn's House's largest smithy after his death. She is a master weaponsmith, armor maker and blacksmith and can make weapons and armor of master quality. The Bronze Forge will make or repair almost anything that can be forged of bronze. Its products and work range from Regína's masterpiece armor and weapons to the shoeing of horses for business and retail customers.
11. Soňa's Wagons. Master Wainwright Soňa, a 41-year-old human female artisan, makes and repairs all kinds and sizes of wagons, carts and wheelbarrows. She has four employees.
12. Royal Trading Co. Warehouses). The trading company has no large branch office in Óðinn's House. When caravans come through town, they leave merchandise in the two warehouses and pick up outgoing freight from the warehouses.
13. Eleonara's Corral. Eleonora, a 44-year-old human female artisan, and her sister, Milada, a 42-year-old female artisan, breed buy and sell riding, draught and farm horses. The two sisters are spinsters who always have had more interest for their steeds than in other humans.
14. Dark Temple. No one in Óðinn's House ecept the inhabitants have any idea that this long-empty house has become a temple. Eliška, a 28-year-old human female black necromancer, purchased the sizeable two-story house a little more than a year ago. She has not identified herself as a spellcaster but rather as a merchant from Windland who works for a company there that subsidizes exploration of the Æsir ruins. For most townsfolk, this is a rather acceptable cover story. It explains why she speaks Slovanian with a Windland accent, and it also explains why her otherwise mysterious visitors travel northward into the draug lands. Eliška is a low level priestess in waiting in the dark draug Mýsing's Society of Immortal Darkness, the developing new dark religion that is intended to make a deity of Mýsing.
15. Šarlota's House of Healing. Šarlota, a 62-year-old human female healer, founded this house. It was expanded substantially when she married her husband, Valentýn, a 62-year-old human male healer. Šarlota is a practicing herbal healer, where Valentýn is a healer who specializes as a herbalist. Once he entered the practice, it expanded from a house of healing that had to buy its herbal remedies elsewhere to becoming the biggest provider of herbal teas, preserves, salves, powers, poultices, wines and liqueurs in Slovania.
16. Servác's Woodworks. Servác, a 48-year-old master carpenter and joiner and humServác has three joiners and an apprentice working in the shop and three carpenters and another apprentice working on location in the town..
17. Border March Tailoring. Master Tailor Radomír, a 42-year-old human male artisan, and his wife, Master Seamstress Zoe, a 40-year old human female artisan, make most of Óðinn's House's commercial clothing.
18. Vilma's General Store. Just about anything one might want (weapons, armor, food and livestock excepted) is in stock at Vilma's. If it's not, she'll order its and a caravan from Royal Trading (Location No. 12) will bring it to town within a month or so.
19. Skáldar Meet Tavern. The Skáldar Meet is a small tavern. The non-local patrons are mostly adventurers who have returned safely from the draug lands, but also of those who are en route there and have tales of their own great deeds elsewhere. Never mind whether those tales are true. There even are very infrequent nights when two or three visiting rangers from the Northern Circle might pop in and take a dark table in a corner. These Æsir come infrequently and speak even less frequently. Still, they say something now and then of the dark ruined lands to the north. When they do, all other mouths remain silent and all other ears open. And then, sometime, the closing hour comes, and all return to the place where they make their beds. Few laugh or smile after hearing from these old Æsir. Locals return home with a bit of fear, being reminded anew of the horrible, threatening evil that lurks in the north, not far from their borders. Adventurers who are passing through feel doubt, and they ask themselves if the really are up to the mission they've set for themselves. The skáldar are the only thing that is missing. A skáld may pass through Óðinn's House once or twice a year and stop at the tavern, but that is all. So things are in the Skáldar Meet.
Outer Town, also known as the Æsir Valley
The settlement outside the town wall in the Hexwood Valley southwest of town is a special area to which most townsfolk have a mixed and not necessarily positive relationship. When the Slovania settled the mostly abandoned Austamæra town of Óðinnshús, they found – as the Æsir had – that the so-called outer town offered by the best river location for milling. As a result, they restored the grain and sawmills there rather than building on a new site. For many years, the two mills were the only structures in this area. That began to change more than 20 years ago when the last Slovania grain miller died without heirs. The Æsir Northern Circle quietly bought the mill from the march. The transaction was recorded in Sentinel City and only gradually became known in Óðinn's House. It became more immediately known that an Æsir refugee family from the Dreadlands had taken over the mill. Not too much later, secret negotiations also resulted in the sale of the sawmill to the Northern Circle. Again, an Æsir refugee family from the Dreadlands took over the mill. Both were vital to the town. Therefore, the townsfolk set aside their misgivings and did business with usual with the refugees. However, except for shoppiing, the newcomers did little to mix with the Slovania inside the town wall. Shortly thereafter, the Northern Circle filed charter claims in Sentinel City upon the still unused land along the millstream and the road to the fortress in the south above the town. Once those claims were acknowledged, old Æsir gold began flowing freely into Óðinn's House, as the circle began letting contracts to the town's artisans, to build farmhouses, sheds and barns with wood-shingled roofs on the newly chartered parcels in the valley. When these were completed, the circle moved still more Dreadlands escapees out of its fortresses and into the Hexwood Valley. The last construction project built a tavern with its own small brewing and malting house. Today, the entire valley is a settlement of Æsir Dreadlands refugees. The Æsir go inside the town walls to buy goods that they need, and the Slovania continue to mill their grain and buy their lumber from the Æsir, but beyond that, there is little contact between the two groups. They do not necessarily trust each other, but there are no hostilities.
20. Æsir Trail Tavern. Outsiders aren't welcome here. This is the tavern of the Æsir refugees from the Dreadlands and the members of the Northern Circle, who come down from the fortress to drink the good and heady light bock beer (7% alcohol) of Master Brewmistress Ásta, a refugee from Underhill. If outsiders do enter the tavern, they will not be thrown out immediately. They will be served, just like locals, but without any signs that they are welcome or that their presence is desired. The tavern opens at 17 bells (5 p.m.) and closes at midnight. No food is served, only Ásta's bock beer.
21. Outer Town Mill. The Northern Circle bought the mill and gave it to Master Miller Tryggvi, a 48-year-old human male artisan from Vesthlið (Westgate) in the Dreadlands. Although he has learned only broken Slovanian, Tryggvi is the miller for the entire Óðinn's House area. He and his family live on the mill's upper story. He charges a 10% milling fee.
22. Hexwood Sawmill. The Northern Circle bought the sawmill and gave it to Master Sawyer Hafliði, a 43-year-old human male artisan from Northtgate in the Dreadlands. He is not fully fluent in Slovanian, but Hafliði is the source of lumber for the entire Óðinn's House area. When he attempted to flee the Dreadlands with his family, only Hafliði survived.
23. Óðinn's Fortress. Once the the fortress of the Æsir god-king Óðinn, it now is a seat of the Northern Circle.

For each stick figure you choose, follow these instructions:
1. Stick Figure Family Group: Leave this on "Family 1" unless you have multiple family groups you are adding to the cart. If so, designate to which family group each stick figure belongs.
2. Order of Appearance: What order do you want them in? For instance, Dad - 1, Mom - 2, etc. If your pet runs the household, you may want them first. Your stick family will be sent all on one sheet, in the order you choose, so it's easy for you to apply them to your vehicle. If you decide to change the order or want to place them at angles to each other, just cut them apart.
3. Stick Figure Size: The stick figures have a range of heights available for order. The heights vary depending upon the type. For instance, the Dads can go up to 6 inches tall, but the cats only have a range of 2 to 2.5 inches. You can choose the size for each stick figure to proportion them with the other family members. If you need a size not available, please contact us first so we can verify the size can be created (this is specifically for sizes smaller than the ones available).
4. Stick Figure Name: If you want individual names under each figure, Click the box and type in the name. If you just want something like "The Jones Clan" or "Anderson Family", write it in this section on just the first stick figure. These names will appear centered below your family, unless you specify a different location in the comments section of your order.
5. Order Comments: We are happy to customize your stick family within reason. If you have any specific requests or questions concerning a stick family member, please add it to their comments section. If you have a general question about the entire stick family or have dimensional limitations, enter it into any stick family member's comments box. You may want to add your phone number or email address so we can get in touch with you if we have any questions.
1. Vinyl Color: All stick figures will be in the 8-year white outdoor/vehicle vinyl. Darker vinyl colors will not show up against window glare and other background colors. If you would like a color other than white, please request it in the comments section of your order. We do not charge extra for an alternate color, but we also do not guarantee that your stick figures will show up very well. If you choose to go with another color, we are not responsible for the visual outcome and therefore, will not give refunds or credit for this problem.
Available Vehicle-Quality Vinyl Colors: White, Black, Light Ivory, Red, Cobalt Blue, Gentian Blue, Silver, Gold
2. Window Placement: We will assume you want to apply these stick figures to the outside of your vehicle window. If you do not have tinted windows and would like to apply them to the inside of the window for longer wear, in the comments section please ask us to cut them in "Reverse". There is no extra charge for "Reverse" cutting.
3. As Bumper Stickers: If you would like to place your stick figures on the body of your car (as shown in the above picture), rather than on the window, you may ask for any color you like, just make sure it is a very contrasting color. White car = black or cobalt vinyl, Black car = white or light ivory vinyl. If you are not sure of what will contrast well, click here to order free color swatches or contact us and we will be happy to make suggestions.
4. Width Dimensions: If you have certain dimensions you need to stay within, please give us those dimensions in the comments section of your order. We will make sure your stick family does not go beyond your spacing requirements. This is especially helpful if your family has more than seven members or you are placing them on a bumper or other defined area.
5. Extra Add-Ons: The "Extras" are add-on thought bubbles and graphics you can add to any stick figure. When ordering these, make sure you select the same "Order of Appearance" number as the stick figure you want it added to. (For example if you want the money bubble added to your Dad stick figure who is in #1 placement, make the money bubble in #1 placement as well.)

CSNY/Déjà Vu isn't a straightforward concert documentary, so if you're looking for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young performances in their entirety, look elsewhere. In fact, if you're looking for CSN&Y playing many of their best-known songs, look elsewhere. This film documents their 2006 U.S. tour, during which Neil Young enlisted his old supergroup in support of his solo LP Living With War, an intensely personal response to the Iraq war and its effects on the men and women fighting it, the invaded nation enduring it, and our own national psyche.
The film begins in a visual style reminiscent of today's fast-paced cable news outlets (ABC reporter Mike Cerre is the film's narrator and interviewer). Quickly edited clips of archival, rehearsal, and performance footage from the band (only a couple of songs are heard in their entirety), audience commentary and reactions, quotes from reviewers, and contemporary news footage fly by at such a pace that, at first, it's hard to get at the emotional center of the film's subject – Young and band intend to push audiences to react to the plight of the current war, and call for change, with the same fervor of their Vietnam-era audience. The band does get strong reaction, positive and negative – many concert-goers are incensed at the message of the songs being performed in place of the quartet's well-known classics (an Atlanta audience's fiery reaction to "Let's Impeach the President" gives new meaning to the term "protest movement").
Once the film hits the halfway mark, it starts to slow its pace. Concentrating on stories of war veterans connecting to the band politically (Stephen Stills offers campaign support to Iraq vets running for Congress), musically (an Iraq vet whose song becomes a sensation on Young's website gets to jam with Neil), and spiritually (Vietnam vets – now offering counsel to Iraq vets – share hugs with the band), the film packs its emotional wallop. The film's final performance is heart-wrenching.
In addition to the documentary, the DVD includes videos for every song on Living With War in their entirety. Though I'm a hardcore Neil Young fan, I hadn't fully appreciated that album until viewing this powerful film. It's refreshing to see artists that would rather challenge their audience than play to their expectations – if yours are to watch this film to see the band playing their hits in concert... look elsewhere.

Video: 911 Derailment Call 2A
Video: 911 Derailment Call 1
Video: 911 Derailment Call 3
ROSEDALE, Md. (AP/WUSA9) - The Baltimore Police Department released the 911 calls that came in on May 28 after a trash truck and a freight train collided.
The report by the National Transportation Safety Board was released Wednesday.
The crash between a CSX train and a trash truck caused a derailment, explosion and fire. The report said the explosion damaged buildings as far as a mile away.
The NTSB says the two-track grade crossing where the crash occurred is a passive crossing with no active warning lights or crossing gates. It is marked with crossbuck signs and yellow, nonstandard stop signs.
The report says the driver of the truck, 50-year-old John J. Alban Jr., did not stop at the grade crossing.
