OrbitThe orbit is the eye bony socket of the skull. The orbit is formed by the cheekbone, the forehead, the temple, and the side of the nose. The eye is cushioned within the orbit by pads of fat. In addition to the eyeball itself, the orbit contains the muscles that move the eye, blood vessels, and nerves. The orbit also contains the lacrimal gland that is located underneath the outer portion of the upper eyelid. The lacrimal gland produces tears that help lubricate and moisten the eye, as well as flush away any foreign matter that may enter the eye. The tears drain away from the eye through the nasolacrimal duct, which is located at the inner corner of the eye. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Anatomy of the Eye

Help & advice: Buying guide to shower enclosures
Buying guide to shower enclosures
Stand alone enclosures equal showering luxury. Here's how to choose a classy cubicle - from wet rooms to walk-ins. Go on, treat yourself...indulge in the Homebase range of shower enclosures.
We have a fantastic choice of shower enclosure options! Walk-in units, wet rooms, cubicles with curved glass for a slick, contemporary look. Massage jets, and even hydrotherapy and aromatherapy systems. Sliding and bi-fold doors ideal for smaller areas. And if you've limited space and so opt for an over-bath shower, you can still choose a screen to protect your bathroom from splashes.
How much space do you have?
The size of your bathroom or shower room will influence which enclosure and shower tray is right for you. Drawing a plan will help you see what fits. First, measure the floor area and height and mark it on your plan. Put in the position of windows, room doors, and opening space needed for the shower doors. The door space is very important! Also, many shower enclosures now have a hardwood foot board or duck board drying section. So if you fancy one of these, allow for the drying area too.
Types of enclosure
Ready made cubicles
A square or rectangular shower cubicle will still look great, but why not try something right up to the minute? Today's shower enclosure designs come in lots of fabulous shapes, with sleek, curved glass giving you a sophisticated feel. They also help you make the most of your floor space and offer more room to move about in the shower. Want to go upscale? Opt for premium features like massage jets, aromatherapy systems, storage shelves and even built-in seats (after all, showers are so tiring). For a real treat, what about a hydrotherapy shower enclosure? Escaping to your mini-steam room is an amazing way to unwind after a hectic day.
Walk-in enclosures or wet rooms
So-now walk-in shower enclosures and wet rooms really give your bathroom the 'wow' factor. You'll love those curved fixed panels that wrap around a specially designed shower tray. They come as right and left hand options to suit any space, in a selection of sizes and a choice of framed or unframed finishes. Complete the urbane look with smart teak shower mats and solid seats.
Choosing shower doors and panels
Shower doors can be used alone in an alcove or with a combination of shower panels to create an enclosed space. There are plenty of sizes and configurations in framed or frameless styles to suit your space. Magnetic catches ensure your shower doors offer a snug, watertight fit when closed.
Types of door
Sliding doors
They'll free up valuable space in your bathroom.
Pivot doors
They can be hung for left or right access. Make sure you have enough room in front of your shower to open a pivot door.
Bi-fold doors
These are perfect when you haven't got room for an outward-opening shower door.
Materials and finishes
Shower doors and panels are made from toughened safety glass for a long life. You can get clear and opaque options, or the glass can be treated with a variety of patterns and borders to create an eye-catching effect (and preserve modesty!).
There are all sorts of frames to suit your home. Silver and chrome-effect finishes give you a modern look. Classic white blends with any bathroom. Frameless styles create an airy, open feeling.
Bath screen options
Don't fancy a shower enclosure? Simply fit a shower over your bath. A bath screen with its close-fitting seal will protect your floor from water. It offers far greater protection than a shower curtain, especially if you're installing a power shower. Screens can be fitted to either end of the bath, and you have full- or half-length options. Made from toughened safety glass, they come framed or unframed in a range of finishes, in clear or patterned glass.
You've got great choices for configuring a screen to suit your space. There are screens fixed permanently to the wall or fitted with a swivel hinge to allow easy access. Bi-fold screens tuck neatly away when not in use - a sound choice for small spaces. Sliding screens comprise two screens that move along the full length of the bath to create a private enclosure for showering. Look out for neat accessories such as integrated towel rails and shelves.
Shower trays - what to look for
Made from cast stone or heavyweight acrylic, a shower tray ensures you have a water-tight enclosure with decent drainage. There are plenty of shapes and sizes, from compact styles to luxurious designs that feature separate drying areas. Go for a deeper tray if you have a power shower as they need higher drainage. And for added safety, check out non-slip surfaces. Shower trays need to be carefully fitted to ensure they don't flex under pressure or leak - so it's best to hire a professional for installation.
Homebase buyer's tips
Frameless shower enclosures help create the illusion of space in your bathroom.
Quarter circle and pentangle shower trays save space in a smaller bathroom.

Alcázar fortress of the Christian Monarchs
Calle de las Caballerizas Reales, s/n
Córdoba, Cordoba
Tel.:+34 957420151
The Fortress gardens were laid on three clearly differentiated terraces with the following design: on the top terrace, two large pools collect water from the mountains and channel it to the lower terrace, accessed via a large flight of steps. This terrace displays three large ponds arranged in a line, one after the other, and flanked by different colours of plants and cypress hedges. On the side of the terrace closest to the old wall, boxwood planted in a grid pattern provides the framework for a series of rose gardens. These are adorned by various statues whose solemnity rivals the shafts of the pruned cypresses. Two of the statues are of Isabella and Ferdinand, the Catholic Monarchs, as it was here that they granted an audience to Christopher Columbus to hear about his project for a new route to the Indies. The middle terrace remains to be seen. It is situated at the southern end, near the two large pools on the top terrace. This garden also has a grid design with boxwood hedges, citrus trees and a fountain in the centre.

It's Time to Take Action on Seafood Fraud
The SAFE Seafood Act will protect consumers and the oceans
Seafood fraud is widespread across the United States. In our recent study, one-third of the more than 1,200 samples tested turned out to be something different than what was listed on the label or menu.
Mislabeled seafood puts consumers at risk, potentially hiding toxins like mercury or other hidden health dangers. And mislabeled seafood can hide illegally-caught fish or unsustainable fishing, hurting conservation efforts.
The SAFE Seafood Act will help protect consumers and the oceans from seafood fraud. By requiring traceability from bait to plate and strengthening enforcement against fraud, this bill will help ensure that the food on your plate is exactly what's on the menu while providing consumers with more information about the seafood they purchase.
Tell your Representative and Senators to fight seafood fraud by co-sponsoring the SAFE Seafood Act today.

What causes lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune disease. In an autoimmune disease, the body's immune system mistakes healthy tissues and organs as dangerous invaders in the body and attacks them. This results in inflammation that can eventually damage and destroy the affected tissues and organs. What causes this autoimmune response in the body is not known, but it is thought that lupus is triggered by various environmental factors and possibly a genetic predisposition for developing an autoimmune disorder. In some cases, an individual who develops lupus has a relative with lupus or another autoimmune disease.... Read more about lupuscauses

Costume attendants are professionals that work in the fashion, textile and theater world creating and organizing costumes for the performing arts. In shows that have multiple, extravagant costume changes, costume attendants are responsible for the flawless costume changes that multiple performers make during the length of the stage show.
Costume attendants hire cast dressers and tailors to help with their many responsibilities. They must make sure that costumes have all of their necessary pieces to make them authentic to the time period they represent, as well as ensure the costumes look as fabulous on stage as they do on the sewing table, with enough time to make changes if necessary.
Costume attendants are extremely organized workers with strong attention to detail and a love of making the stage come to life with fantastic, detailed costumes, and do not mind putting in often long hours to do their jobs. Ideal candidates for this position are creative and artistic with a flare for design and a love of the performing arts.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Costume attendants have many duties and responsibilities. They hand out costumes and props to each performer, and keep detailed records that state where wardrobe pieces are at all times. They also return pieces of wardrobe to rental facilities or storage when the production is complete. During show times, costume attendants carefully arrange all costumes in the order they will be worn to facilitate fast, flawless costume changes. They must also assist performers in putting the costumes on properly, or hire cast dressers that can do the job properly in their place.
Some costume attendants work directly under a costume designer and make, alter and repair costumes for the shows, or send the costumes to a seamstress or tailor in time to be ready for the performances. For pieces that cannot be made on site, costume attendants will travel to the appropriate shops to rent or buy costume pieces required for the performance.
Before show time, costume attendants check how the costumes look on stage under the lights with the set pieces, and how they contrast with other costumes on set. If the effects they hoped to see from the costumes are not present, costume attendants redo the work until they get the look that is desired for the performance.
Other duties of costume attendants are to create organized sheets that detail dressing and costume lists and checks, assign lockers and dressing rooms to performers, and see that all costumes are in the dressing rooms before show time with every piece accounted for.
Costume attendants work side by side with the producer, director and costume designers to establish the details of costuming for each individual production. Finding the right costumes could require reading the script and doing research about a specific time period to fully achieve the desired look. This could involve studying old books, photographs, and period clothing for details that must be carried over into the costuming.
Hiring is another duty of costume attendants. Finding and hiring cast dressers, seamstresses and tailors that have a high quality of work is an important part of the job. Costume attendants must train, schedule, and supervise these employees. They must also carefully monitor outside vendors that are brought in to take part in costume preparation. During performances, costume attendants must carefully direct their team to ensure everything goes of without a hitch.
Costume attendants should be able to think creatively to come up with many ideas for wardrobe and costumes. Creativity and vision are a large part of the job, as the feel of a play often largely comes through the detail of the costume and props. Costume attendants must be critical thinkers with strong attention to detail, and possess knowledge of the fine arts. They must be coordinated, and be able to easily follow directions.
Theaters hire costume attendants with experience within theater and other similar job expertise. Though theater knowledge is preferred, attendants could be hired who have experience the director or producer finds helpful, such as experience in alterations or design, or an appreciation for fashion and costumes.
Many costume attendants enter the field with a high school diploma or GED; however, there are some companies that will require an associate's or bachelor's degree. Degrees in theater or fashion design from a fine arts college are two of many options.
After being hired, the attendants will receive extensive training that can last from a few months to an entire year of working closely with experience attendants to learn how to properly do the job.
Costume attendants would most likely work with performing arts companies. They work backstage, ensuring every aspect of costuming is taken care of before a performance begins; they wait in the wings to make sure costumes are ready for changes during the show; and they travel to costume shops and storage to return costumes to their appropriate place after the show is complete. Costume attendants work long hours on days when shows are performed, and typical work hours in the weeks leading up to performances.
The average salary of a costume attendant in North America is $32,180, with an average hourly wage of $15.47. These salaries have been gradually rising over the past 10 years.

Description: Between 1831 and 1866, Théophile Gautier published two dozen tales which can be designated contes fantastiques or contes merveilleux. These works are examined in chronological sequence, in French, in order to follow the development of Gautier as a writer of fantastic stories. The analysis concentrates in particular on problems of genesis and intertextuality, and highlights the thematic continuity of this aspect of Gautier's work.

Description: From the publishers: This study provides the first book-length account of U.S.-Habsburg relations from their origins in the early nineteenth century through the aftermath of World War I and the Paris Peace Conference. By including not only high-level diplomacy but also an analysis of diplomats' ceremonial and social activities, as well as an exploration of consular efforts to determine the citizenship status of thousands of individuals who migrated between the two countries, Nicole M. Phelps demonstrates the influence of the Habsburg government on the integration of the United States into the nineteenth-century Great Power System and the influence of American racial politics on the Habsburg Empire's conceptions of nationalism and democracy. In the crisis of World War I, the U.S.-Habsburg relationship transformed international politics from a system in which territorial sovereignty protected diversity to one in which nation-states based on racial categories were considered ideal.- This book takes the ceremonial activities, social activities and administrative work of consuls seriously, prompting a rethinking of the importance of these frequently dismissed activities in international relations, - it also combines a study of high politics with an account of the role of everyday people in shaping international relations, the operation of state, and definitions of sovereignty and identity - it finally demonstrates the involvement of the U.S. in international affairs prior to WWI, countering the traditional narrative of isolation. Review of this book by Dr Stephen Tuffnell in Reviews in History, dated 6 March, 2014.

Description: This is volume one of Michael Broers' biography of Napoleon. Yes, it's Napoleon's life story. But there are some striking new takes which make it a fascinating read. One that spoke to me was Broers' insistence on the Corsican childhood. The Oxford academic's distinction between Corsicans of the interior and the Corsican coastlanders (aptly set against the image of the Anglo-Irish of the Pale and the Irish of the interior) is fascinatingly new. What's more, this key helps guide the reader throughout the labyrinth of Corsican politics, Paoli, the arrival of the French Revolution, local alliances and conflicts. Broers is also tendentious, when he describes the marriage to Josephine as a mistake! And his insights into the similarities of experience of the soon-to-be imperial couple similarly are compelling. For Napoleon's public career, as Broers himself proudly notes, this is the first ever to have been written using our' Correspondance générale. As a result (not surprisingly), the account is sure and stimulating. Alongside the English-language biographies by John Holland Rose and Steven Englund, his account is one that's going stand the test of time. Roll on volume two! Peter Hicks, March 2014 Review by Christopher Silvester in the Financial Times, dated 28 February, 2014. Review by Roger Lewis in the Daily Mail, dated 20 February, 2014.

Description: From the publishers: This book examines, for the first time, the history of the social, cultural, political and economic presence of the French in London, and explores the multiple ways in which this presence has contributed to the life of the city.The capital has often provided a place of refuge, from the Huguenots in the 17th century, through the period of the French Revolution, to various exile communities during the 19th century, and on to the Free French in the Second World War.It also considers the generation of French citizens who settled in post-war London, and goes on to provide insights into the contemporary French presence by assessing the motives and lives of French people seeking new opportunities in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It analyses the impact that the French have had historically, and continue to have, on London life in the arts, gastronomy, business, industry and education, manifest in diverse places and institutions from the religious to the political via the educational, to the commercial and creative industries.

Heavy Duty Tools/For a Woman's Hands
Are there such things as hand tools that will fit my hands?
First project is a 12 x 24 storage building for tools and a work area. Later it will be used as the center of my other building projects including our Home. The ones I will need by spring are: 1. Nail Gun 2. Circular Saw 3. Drill 4. Some sort of Screw Driver? I'm also thinking of Table Saws for Christmas, but don't know much about them at all. I've used the small hand saws but with the jobs I intend to do, I'm sure a Heavy Duty saw is needed, as well as the other tools too, so my small, in home models, are not really the best for my new jobs. Any suggestions would help. Thank you. |

I am not aware of special tools for smaller hands. You just have to go thru a big box store and handle them. One will feel right. But if these tools will get a lot of use, avoid the cheapy tools like B&D and other cheapys. As for a table saw, there some nice portable types availabe, but are often best suited for the contruction site, but less than $500. A heavy shop type saw would be an older Delta cabinet saw. Very heavy, very accurate and durable, but expensive..

Just Bill,
These tools will be for long time, hard use, so I do want the best, not the cheap ones I have had to use on small things in the past. These will be for my "Shop/Garage" so they will be there for good. Kinda like the "Final Buy" I've only used my brothers table saw a few times, but it was easy to use, so I think I'm ready for a heavy shop type saw this time, and I don't want to have to upgrade the table saw later. As far as the smaller type, I did hear that some tools are smaller and still have a "punch" to them, so I thought I would ask. Although I have used a lot of tools in my life, (including my brothers) I have never really done heavy jobs, so "Home" tools just won't do anymore. (some of my old tools were B&D and Sears etc. whatever I needed at the time, and cheap) So you can see that I could use some names of "better" tools. I don't know tools that well, and don't want to go to a store with no idea of what I'm looking for. Very good point about buying better tools, it's time. |

I'm 6'-5", 230, and I find most DeWalt tool unnecessarily heavy and unwieldy. Might not work well for someone already trying to find smaller tools.

You know I think tool manufacture make things overly large to symbolize durability and quality. I'm not small, but I find a lot of tools uncomfortable to use also.
I'm not aware of a womens line of tools. The best thing to do is pick them up and see how they feel in your hands. Everyone is different big, small or in between.

Heavy Duty Tools/For a Woman's Hands
May I add my 2¢ worth: I am 60-ish young, in good health, and have a business doing Household HandyMan type work. I have days, like today, where the only job I had was to replace an outdoor motion-detector type lamp. Other days, the last two weeks, I was building a Pergola where the homeowner changed her mind three times as it was being built. But-it's a really nice one and she's happy. Almost all of my power tools are either DeWalt or Milwaulkee. That comes from 38 years of Industrial Maintenance and learning which tools stood up to that type of work environment. My tools are somewhat heavy. My daughter, who is a competent "handy-person", has used many of them with confidence, but she cannot use them for hours on end. Choosing the "right" power tool is not an easy task, whether for an experienced person or a novice DIY person. A tool may feel right in your hand(s), but is it durable? Sheila--you sound as if a woman who does not look at this type work as "man's work", and is willing to tackle this type work. I admire that. At times I go to jobs where a woman, or man, has tried their best to do the work, and it's not just right, it needs some fine tuning. I never fault them, I compliment them on what they have done, for trying to do that job the best as they can, then I teach them what they may have done to make it better. So: Sheila--"Are there such things as hand tools that will fit my hands?" Yes, there are tools out there that will fit your hands. You will have to spend some time testing, holding, lifting/putting down tools to find one that "fits". I just spent at least an hour at a store holding, spinning, flipping, pitching from one hand to the other--a claw hammer. Why? I want one that is comfortable, as light-weight as possible, heavy enough to drive most nails I use, one I can (this is me) flip back into the hammer-holster on my right side, and (of course) looks good (me again). I did find a new hammer I liked, I came home and put it to an initial test, and will put it into use next week. Forty bucks ($40) for a claw hammer. Too much? Maybe to some, but not to me. My last claw hammer lasted 12 years before the grip broke and started coming off. Hmm, can you get a hammer re-gripped, such as golf clubs? Good Luck, David

Heavy Duty Tools/For a Woman's Hands
Thank you everyone.
I spent hours last night looking at tools. (And Thinking) The first thing I did was, think about the tools I have used in the past, and what I LIKED about them. ONE tool did stand out! My (Vintage) Makita Cordless Driver Drill, Model 6093D. I still love it, even though it's out of date, and has had years of use, and abuse. I would never part with it, and it would have to die, without hope of repair, before I would part with it. So......... I took a look at some Makita tools, and thought some may be what I need. However........... Not knowing Makita today, I need a little more feedback on the brand today. Anyone use Makita? I must confess I liked the higher priced tools the most, but since I will be purchasing them one at a time, I think I can buy the best, IF I can find out which ones are the best, Makita or otherwise. The suggestion about "The right fit, feel, and weight" is fantastic. It reminded me that, THAT is the most important way to consider my tools. It's not JUST about size, although important to me, it's also about use, weight, and all the reasons I like my Makita. I also purchased a small Stanley Sharp Tooth hand saw last year, and it's great. It was one of those quicky buys, just because I had to do something in a hurry, and it's turned out to be a real gem. Only about 15" long, but works like a tiger. Who would have thought a small saw like that would work so well, and for so many small jobs!!! I can't thank you guys enough for the posts, they sure got me thinking, and that's what I needed all along. Bless |

Letter on roads in town of Sharon contained an error
My Jan. 30 letter, "Sharon road work still is not being done correctly," concerned work planned for drainage on East Street and mentioned seeing the "Call Before You Dig" markings on the road. I have since discovered the markings are not where the town plans to dig, but are reference marks for work to be done on the other side of the fence.
It is a relief to know the town is not going to cut into our newly paved road. But there are still drainage problems, including a potentially dangerous ice patch over the road in that same area, that need to be addressed. Hopefully, any future road work will include planning for proper drainage as part of the overall design.

Mississippi Voted Worst State For Women To Live
Mississippi is not for the misses
What do successful women like Oprah Winfrey, Robin Roberts and Ida B. Wells have in common? They were born in Mississippi.
What else do they have in common? They all left.
According to a study by iVillage.com, Mississippi was voted the worst state for women to live. They topped a list that also included Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia and Kentucky in the top five.
Factors such as health care and reproductive rights as well as economic success, access to affordable childcare, female representation in government and educational attainment were considered.
CNN reports that 22% of women in Mississippi are impoverished and they earn the lowest average wages in the country with a median income of $28,879. They probably aren't making money because they aren't finishing school. The college graduation is only 21%. They are enjoying their country cooking though, because 68% of Mississippi women are overweight or obese.
Women in Mississippi do have one thing that women in other states don't have, cheap child care. The average cost per year of taking care a kid in The 'Sipp is $4,650 per year for an infant, the lowest in the country.
On the flip side, Connecticut was found to be the best state for women to live in. No, it wasn't because of the University of Connecticut's women's basketball team. It's because 35% of women have a college degree, the median salary is over $45,000 and 90% of the women there have health insurance. Connecticut was followed by Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and California as the top five.

MIAMI BOUND: Elisabetta Armellin, the Italian designer behind V°73, a women's accessories line named after her birth year and atelier's address in Venice, is such a big fan of Miami that she chose the city's Design District for her foray into retail.
"Miami is booming, with so much construction going on and exciting shopping centers," said Armellin, who visits four times annually with her husband. "South Florida women are very fashion-conscious, too."
A Murano glass chandelier hangs in the 1,500-square-foot boutique, whose wallpaper, armchairs and throw pillows are customized in one of her exclusive prints. It's the first occasion Floridians have been able to buy the collection locally; wholesale accounts are Harrods, Harvey Nichols in Istanbul, Excelsior in Milan and LuisaViaRoma in Rome and Florence, as well as multibrand stores on both U.S. coasts.
Founded in 2011, the complete collection of logo-driven handbags, in addition to hand-painted scarves and shoes like canvas ballet slippers with colorful leather accents and embroidery that launched this year, retails from $250 to $800. The store also carries a limited-edition collaboration with the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and charms depicting stars, logo letters and the designer as a doll named Betty.

Conservancy Lead Marine Scientist Mike Beck comes off a week of conversations in New Orleans about coastal hazards to have the best talk of all about them with a cab driver — who blows him away with his knowledge of flood insurance and federal policy, the protective role of wetlands in Louisiana, and why we need to restore them now.

He's got more than just mad skill...he's got a beaver tail and a bill!
X-Factor is certainly up there, and I've been enjoying it quite a bit for the time I've been reading it now. Lotsa personality in that book, and no two characters talk alike! As it should be.
Liu knows what she is doing too.. I hope they give her more books if she is willing.. glad to hear Jubilee has been fun in X23.. Interested to see Astonishing X-Men with Liu writing, but I dunno if I can handle that many X-books..!
By the way, anyone else getting malware warnings when they visit any CBR forum pages? I'm using my phone to post this which is a pain in tookus.

If this price drop from 1000 to 600 is permanent it really kills memberships, I know you could easily follow the hero release pace previously with sub gold and the daily wheel with enough left over to buy most missions, card quests and many boosters too... most of the time I had everything and a decent gold stockpile of several thousand leftover. Unless drmatically more content is released, subbing 1 month out 3 is probablly enough to get all heroes, quests and missions.
SHSO Squad name: Fighting Raven
Squad Level: 2600+
On that note...
Frankly... if the 1000 to 600 price drop is permanent... as an X-Men fan I feel a little bamboozled...
I spent the last two months buying these heroes full price as they were released... then only two heroes into the next theme, "HAY! Here's a huge price drop!"
Between Phoenix, Iceman & Nightcrawler it feels like 1200g waisted.
That could have been a Ghost Rider! :P
With old heroes I paid 1000 for more recently, like Hulk or Thor... I'd be happy to chalk it up to bad timing. I mean I bought Thor like a week or so ago, and Scarlet Witch like... yesterday, and today they're cheaper. But oh well, ya'know. They're old. Old stuff is prone to price droppage. Thems the breaks.
But come on! Phoenix is barely a month old!
When I was paying full price for these guys the last two months, I expected they'd at least stay that way for a reasonable amount of time...
If it's a sale I find it slightly more forgivable... but if it's a permanent price drop so quickly after release, I just feel ripped off.

Guys remember the momentary Spider-Sale some months ago? I think it would be the same for this time, just a week or maybe weekend as I doubt good heroes like Hulk and Phoenix will be so downgraded. But as some had said before if they keep it that way I would feel ripped-off considering how little time some have been in store, I mean the Christmas sale snubbed Iceman and Beast why not have this one do the same for at least her and Nightcrawler (who I will take the chance to get, I know hypocritical behavior at its best).
Breeding, darling. Top class breeding.

The way I look at it, yeah I could be bitter that I just bought Iceman a week ago but if the change is permanent I can get Cap and Phoenix for 600 gold, which would be great.
