Ask an Eye M.D. Answer Archive
Please read our important medical disclaimer.
I had an eye trauma as a result of a friend accidentally poking me in the eye with a key. I went to the hospital and was prescribed eyedrops and ampiclox. A day after the incident I noticed a large subconjunctival hemorrhage (bruise on the white of the eye) and the cut that was made by the key on my sclera. It is six days since the accident and I am having serious itching on both the affected and non-affected eye though the pain is subsiding. Some friends told me the itching is a sign of healing. Is that true?
Subconjunctival hemorrhages can have a shocking appearance due to the wide spread of the blood in the space between the conjunctiva and the underlying sclera. Since the conjunctiva is so thin, the blood is bright red until it is absorbed into the eye again, which always happens. The key cut through the conjunctiva but almost certainly did not cut into the sclera and the conjunctiva is now healing (might be healed after six days). Itching is a sign of healing, however, you mentioned there is itching in both eyes. This seems to me to be a problem with allergy in both eyes from some other source. Have you had allergic issues in the past? Are both eyes newly red in the same way? Could you have had some exposure to some allergen in the last several days? You might consider seeing your ophthalmologist for a diagnosis.

After rooming with a friend for four days where I was living out of a cardboard box, I finally made the transition into my new house. It's a wonderful house for four, but five of us will be rooming here at a discounted rate. Thank you frugality, you have saved the day again.
At the moment my entire being is energized at the thought of living in this house for the next year (I will be occupying this house from now until graduation of May next year #occupy44thstreet). I have unpacked in the kitchen, made my first grocery shop, and am currently in the process of compiling of a list of every item that I would like to make this house absolutely boss.
It's incredible living the areas outside of Butler's student housing but still within the Bubble. An entire community exists here of upperclassmen, all confident in the ways of the university life, and beginning to dabble in the existence beyond the university. We're living in houses now, thinking about post-laurel jobs (or for those who relish studies and loans, grad school), and flexing out cooking muscles. Just the other day I cooked an italian feast with my roommate, who has promised to clue me into the secrets of chinese cooking. I'm giddy at the thought.

150 Years
Our community is in the midst of celebrating it's 150th birthday. The list of activities can be found here at the library. Chicken Chew weekend is fast approaching and things are beginning to hum. The library Book Sale is Saturday, opening at 8am. We will also have some furniture for sale.
If you haven't been by lately stop in, there are many changes. We have decorations up for the Summer Reading Program in the childrens' section and for the teens and adults near the reading table and we have some new corrals set up so we can move all of our computers so they are all in one area. There will be more changes to come.
Many times I've had people ask if we have a specific repair manual and inevitably we wouldn't. Well, that has all changed, (and no we didn't get them donated) instead we have a far greater resource, an online manual that has descriptions and digrams for vehicle that are dated back to 1954. The diagrams and descriptions are just like the books themselves, and they are all printable. Don't have a printer? Need help?? Just let us know and we can always lend a hand.
Welcome to Our New Web Site!
Glad you stopped by hope to hear from you, please give us suggestions of things you might like to see, and we will see what we can do!
Make sure you check out the WHAT"S NEW PAGE It is new and improved!
Tip: When you see
click on those words and you will find a list of what is new in that category!
Have fun, and don't forget you can order any item by clicking on it, and that will take you to the library catelog.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Sacramento Kings are without top scorer Kevin Martin and fellow starter Andres Nocioni for tonight's game in Charlotte.
Martin is back at the team hotel with what coach Kenny Natt calls a "bug." Martin leads the team by scoring 24.2 points per game.
Nocioni has been playing with tendinitis in his right quadriceps that flared up after last night's game in Atlanta. Natt says Nocioni will be listed as day-to-day.
Rashad McCants started at shooting guard for Martin, and Francisco Garcia got the nod at Nocioni's spot at small forward for the Kings.

Tents, but No Circus (NY Times)
"But what the increasingly industrialized Fashion Week now signally lacks is a certain giddy excitement, the fanfare and promise of genius that were common in the days when you could still get close enough to it all to see the greasepaint and smell the sweat… Ms. Roitfeld claimed flatly that fashion is not much fun anymore. 'It's less light-hearted, less spontaneous,' Ms. Roitfeld said. 'Fashion has become an industry, one that increasingly stifles creation.'"
Saks, Nordstrom Say Luxury Sales Firm (Bloomberg)
"So far so good in the luxury sector, say top executives of Saks Inc. and Nordstrom Inc., as stock markets lurch up and down amid global economic uncertainty.Saks Chief Executive Officer Stephen Sadove and Nordstrom Chief Financial Officer Michael Koppel say sales at their luxury chains are holding up and that they are sticking to their forecasts."
Cult following helps Superdry sales soar (Guardian)
"Shares in SuperGroup rose 7% after the company said total group sales were £54m in the three months to the end of July. Wholesale sales almost doubled on the strength of international demand for the retailer's clothing. SuperGroup listed last year and has divided City opinion, with some investors viewing it is a temporary fashion fad rather than a long-term bet."
The Rising Popularity of Hong Kong's Young Haberdashers (Red Luxury)
"Creativity from an unlikely source — young, ambitious entrepreneurs– is cultivating China's homegrown luxury industry. Particularly in Hong Kong, where relaxed taxes and government initiatives appeal to new businesses, industrious young men have created a niche market for haberdashery that is earning serious attention."
Paris to sell its young (FT)
"The Council of Fashion Designers of America is taking a page out of the British Fashion Council's playbook and is bringing 10 of the past CFDA/US Vogue Fashion Fund finalists to Paris Fashion Week. The finalists will be able to use showrooms to help them "expand their international business and increase their presence outside of the United States," according to Steven Kolb, CFDA chief executive."

But WaitThere's More
Find other great ideas in these related stories:
Turkish Hammam, Cağaloğlu Hamamı, Turkey
For a quintessential Turkish delight, do as the Turks do and head to a hammam. These public baths are a social institution in Turkey, dating back to Roman times. There are approximately 35 historical hammams in Istanbul, but Cağaloğlu Hamamı is tops for beauty and authenticity. Built in 1741 by Sultan Mahmud I, it was the last of the great hammams constructed before Sultan Mustafa III forbade them, due to the city's increasing needs for water and wood. Today, you might run into a sweating celeb (Cameron Diaz, John Travolta, and Kate Moss have all been spotted here). Note, however, that there are separate sections for women and men. There is more than enough eye candy in the outstanding Baroque and classic Ottoman architectural motifs, but if you opt to lie on the so-called "tummy stone" and get pummeled within an inch of your life by a masseuse, you may be too distracted to notice. The range of bath services, including scrub massages and aromatherapy, is as wide as your body's pores after the sauna.
Cağaloğlu Hamamı, $25 for two hours.

He Remains Out There.
This is written in response to the one who weaves questions. He knows who he is. I speak only the truth. I have no reason to lie. Anyone who knows me, knows this. You have behaved in a most heinous manner to me. You lied. You created such falsehoods. You are well aware of the truth on that. And you disappeared suddenly. You know when. And you returned. Hid in the shadows. And resumed your games. Pretended to be a friend of a dearone. And pretended even more. Never admitted who you were. Because you are dishonourable. That is you, indeed. I have not said anything untrue. I am saying leave me alone. You and your "friends" who are similar to you. Undesirables. You post lies to me. And then you do not let me respond. Of course not. Why would you? When your tongue utters such untruths....I am just sorry for those that you are currently manipulating....Why did you not reveal your true identity to me when you could? Only you know the answer to that. Because you did not change. Still the same cowboy # 2. That is most clear. I have nothing left to say. I do have saved documentation on our previous conversations. All of it. Saved in a safe place. So if you wish to pursue this, I am certainly prepared. Otherwise, go on with your foolishness by yourself. Stalkers are heinous. Everyone is well aware of that. So go away. I have no need to associate with undesirables. People who lie and do other atrocities like manipulating people...Taking advantage of people too. This matter rests now. The truth always comes out in the end. This time is no different. 2011A. (Be warned- I am still pursuing those groups who are evil here. You will know my when you see me-by my smile and by my light. And you don't have a chance! kissessssssssssssssssss....)Good for you. Kick this a-hole's butt.
AND....we have at least one in common....but he is being cornered now!
i think we give off more LIGHT or something....................
if we can stir up such a commotion in their heads that have them glued to us in such a manner....
obviously you won this battle long before they even began fighting it...
they always say it is we that are jealous of them,
but i realize now it is truly the other way around.
the lone figure sits in the corner of a shadow. long brown oilskin coat and matching hat make her nothing but a shapeless form... most eyes in the room skip right over her, but every now and then you see a glint of light fly off of the metal of the double barrell sawed-off shotgun she holds... or the quick glitter of a fiercely blue eye just watching.....
waiting, somewhat excitedly for the fun to begin.
I always thought 2011A was a chick? Oo
Google this story and read it: "The Life and Death of Jesse James" by Josh Olson. It was published a few years ago in the LA Weekly. It is a good education on what to expect when you get involved online. I promise you will not know what is coming next when you read this story; it's fascinating and awful.
Everyone has known people who won't let go, won't leave you alone, online or in everyday life. Sometimes the behavior can be extreme, sometimes even dangerous. As a rule, the more response you give them, especially an emotional response, the more they are likely to bother you. ANY communication, no matter how negative, rejecting or insulting, feels like validation to a stalker. To get rid of someone like this, you must completely ignore him/her......for as long as it takes.
okay so i should not respond to the mental guy who has a crush on me....good advice
I don't like anyone to be taken advantage of. You be careful please.
Ok OK 2011A ,i see why your so Aggressive. Me dont blame you and if i sound like one of those fo gib meh bc im not. I enjoy beautiful women company and have been known to get a lil carried away at times. Just shooo me , u cant go wrong and i wont be hurt or offended..k k
I am me and nothing to hide or lie about but ermm certain thigns i do or say is like one of those top secret , CIA, FBI ,, GAY ,, JK ....what im trying to say is theres not alot of ppl who i am open to and not alot knows this side of me, but me no SKURD... Im just saying relax ,im just a forest gump wunna be... but i can certainly understand how many girls are threaten by emo guys as these. Im not one .... CHeErs ~
yehhh , i been told that also, I knows. They call meh Da beast frum Da East, Da King of Da Jungle and dont beh skurd i dont bite or anything. Shyte i has tah rewrite 2nd story. You kno wut? Your the 1st person besides my gf i ever told anything to or rather things of these freaks of nature does. Ok ok i bettah get started , da nite is young...
moosh is obviously a troll who will troll you once YOU REFUSE HIM......................
Wow. I hear a small tidbit here and there about what seems to be respectively and respectfully a similar scenario- and it is disturbing. Its good that you wrote this as it helps create awareness but I'm still slightly puzzled.. which is ok. I can dig what ur saying.. & it is great you have friends that support you.
I guess I'm just feeling a lil dense bcuz I don't know the whole story- which I respect- it baffles me people going through the extent and time and effort just to hurt good people like its a game. Thank you again for sharing this.
I understand how you feel. I have posted lots of stories on here. All truthful and yet we have a small group of baiters & haters who try to tear down encouragement or try tearing you down by insults and character assassination. Thanks for the story.
i see that the only attention they get is on FORUMS like these where there are lots of people to PESTER....when they create their own websites, they go unnoticed....it enrages them and then they go to another website where there are people to bug, and they think if the people get mad that they are LOVED? for making a change in their lives or something.
Everybody love and support you very much. You can tell Oprah or Dr Phil about your stories of being stalked in EP.
NOOO she don't wanna be famous like these online trolls desire to be
It is good that you have written this experience.
You have a lot of friends who will stick by you, I will always be here for you xx
i know of your strong character and loving support for your friends, i also know some of the pieces of this. i am here in support my friend
I dont know the full story happening here,but am glad to see your friends rallying round you cyn.Being gang stalked I do know how evil stalking is in intent,and obviously add myself to support you in this xxxxx

A top gardener says Writtle College in Chelmsford was his gateway into gardening.
Alan Power, head gardener at Stourhead, Wiltshire, studied the National Diploma in Amenity Horticulture at Writtle College in 1993.
"Writtle gave me a gateway into horticulture and in turn set me up for my life ahead. My time there was fun, exciting, hard work, inspiring and varied," he said. "The basics I gained then still help now."

Bridal Shower Game
I love games but bridal shower games can be a little hard to make personable and fun at the same time. When I was asked to do a game for a recent Jack and Jill shower I scoured the internet for ideas and put a twist on a great idea I read about.
This bridal shower game was a lot of fun and worked really well with both men and women of varying ages.
The game is simply a poem, a few lines written on each page, that instruct you who to pass the book onto next. The lines of the poem tell you a bit about the couple and you learn about the people in the group too.
The person who ends up holding the book in the end gets the prize.
I had done the couples engagement pictures so I had a lot of photographs of them readily available – if you have to collect the photographs from the bride or groom it might make this a bit more work, though if they have a Facebook account you could always use those photographs – they should print as 4×6 photographs without a problem! The photographs add a nice, personal touch to the whole thing.
If it was a smaller bridal shower it might be fun to make the pictures of the bride with all of her girlfriends for this game and also make the poem more personal with fun memories tossed into it.
I had an extra photobook that I took it and cut card stock to size, added the 4×6 pictures and wrote the poem out for each page. The pages were then stapled together and glued into the seam of the book. Having the actual book made for a prettier presentation, but you could easily make a book cover out of cardstock and use that.
You could also add stickers and other embellishments to each page to dress it up a bit.
Here is the poem as I used it – I don't remember where I found the original but I tweaked it and added a few new lines to make it work for both men and women.

If you're looking for Qt 3D on Qt 5, please check for a recent Qt 5 release or source package, as Qt 3D is now a Qt 5 Essential and ships as part of Qt 5 and the Qt SDK. Obtaining Qt 5 source is explained on the Qt project pages.
Do you have to build Qt3D for Qt 4? Check if binary packages are available for your platform on the Qt downloads page.
This page gives guidelines on how to build Qt3D either from a source package or from a repository snapshot.
If you want to work with the latest bleeding edge Qt3D features, or if you would like to modify or contribute to Qt3D you can build it from our source repository.
The source for Qt3D is hosted on Gitorious as the git repository qt/qt3d.git. Note that you'll need the qt4 branch.
It can be cloned as follows:
$ mkdir $HOME/source/qt && cd $HOME/source/qt $ git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt3d.git qt3d $ cd qt3d $ git checkout --track -b qt4 origin/qt4
Note that the $ above means the shell prompt (don't type the $).
More stable versions of the Qt3D source code is available as source packages from Qt3D downloads page. Just unzip or untar it into your source directory.
This version of Qt3D requires Qt 4.8. The QtSDK currently ships with Qt 4.8 so if you're using the SDK you should be fine. Alternatively you can build against a Qt that you have compiled from source. Just make sure that when you build Qt, that you use the -developer-build option, and do not do a make install as root. The reason for this is when Qt3D builds it will place the libraries, headers and plugins into the correct position in the hosted Qt library, so that will need to be writable.
Note: Don't build Qt3D against binary package. As just explained, when building against a binary package Qt3D will try to install itself during compile time into the Qt against which it is being compiled. It cannot do this if your current user account does not have permissions to write there, which is generally the case with binary packages, that install as root into the standard system locations.
In the case of Windows many do development in an account that has Administrator privileges. This is not an endorsement of that practice, but it does mean that Windows users developing this way do not run into this problem. However in the case of Mac or Linux (or more security conscious Windows developers) this won't work. For advanced users you can try buiding with the package option turned on by adding CONFIG+=package to the qmake line, and then run make install as root. It is not recommended to run the whole build as root. In summary, build against a source package or against the SDK and it will just work.
Here's an example configure line you can use:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/build/qt/4.8 && cd $HOME/build/qt/4.8 $ $HOME/source/qt/4.8/configure -developer-build -no-qt3support -no-webkit \ -no-phonon -opengl -declarative -nomake demos -nomake examples $ make
...this line turns off many features that aren't needed for Qt3D, and it also explicitly asks for declarative and opengl (even though those are on by default) so that an error will be generated if OpenGL is not available. If you're on windows omit the -opengl as it can cause errors.
Once you have your Qt 4 set up, you can go ahead and build Qt 3D. The recommended way is to use QtCreator, which you'll have if you downloaded the SDK.
Here is a step-by-step guide to building Qt3D using the QtCreator IDE. QtCreator is the development environment for the QtSDK. As you can see in the screenshot below, we're using the beta version 2.5 on Linux, but other operating systems and versions should look similar. Always use the latest release of QtCreator if possible.
Special note: Harmattan SDK. When using the Harmattan support in the Qt SDK:
Step 1 - Open the Qt3D project.
Choose Open from the File menu and navigate to the qt3d.pro project file $HOME/source/qt/qt3d/qt3d.pro. Click Open.
Step 2 - Select the Qt and load Qt3D.
Set the Qt build to use, making sure it has OpenGL and QtDeclarative. In this situation where I have a large number of Qt versions to choose from it is easiest to use the "Uncheck All" button, then check the one I want - which is the Qt that ships with the QtSDK.
If you can't tell from the screen above which is the right Qt to use, just choose a safe looking one, perhaps the default, as you can change it easily below.
Set the Qt build that you created above. In the screenshot below there is a situation where we have a number of Qt versions to choose from, so it is easiest to uncheck all of the ones we don't need, then check the one we want - which is the Qt version created above. You may need to add it using the "Manage" button first.
After a short time QtCreator will have loaded up the Qt3D project, read all its project files and display the source tree as shown below.
Step 3 - Set up for Building.
Click the projects tab at the left to display the Qt3D target's Build Settings pane, marked in the screenshot below.
Click the projects tab at the left to display the Qt3D target's Build Settings pane. Here you can specify a Shadow Build directory. It is always a good idea to build in a shadow directory, instead of inside the source tree.
In the screenshot below we use file management windows invoked by the the browse button to create the shadow build directory as a "new folder", which we'll call "qt3d" to match the project name.
Here's another handy trick - set QtCreator to use multiple cores when it builds, if its supported on your platform. On Mac and other platforms that use GCC I can set the -j 4 argument to make.
Do this by expanding the details of the make step in the projects page, then enter the extra arguments, as shown below.
For Windows check for the jom tool which you will already be using automatically, to see how many parallel jobs your build will use.
Special note for Windows - make sure that the type of build matches the Qt that you are building against. In the case of binary packages, and the Qt that ships with the SDK these are binary release builds - so in those cases set your Qt3D to a release build also. One way to tell that this has gone wrong is that your Qt3D library will be called Qt3Dd.dll (note the lower case "d" for debug) when your QtGui library is called QtGui4.dll (no lower case "d").
Step 4 - Build Qt3D and run a test App.
By default the Qt build system used by QtCreator will build Qt3D in debug mode.
Now hit the build button (marked with a red arrow in the screenshot below)
Qt3D will go ahead and compile all its libraries, plugins and QML imports.
The build is set up so that these will be placed into the directories as specified by the host qmake - inside the Qt build tree. To find what these directories are run qmake -query. If you like after the build you can check those directories to be sure that Qt3D's files got placed there correctly.
As explained above for this reason you will need to have the privileges on your computer to write to the directories given by qmake -query. On Windows this is generally not a problem. On Mac and Linux it should work fine when building with the SDK which is by default installed in your home directory. It will also be fine with builds from a source package.
Qt3D will also place its qt3d.prf and qt3dquick.prf files into the host Qt's QMAKE_MKSPECS/features directory. Again see qmake -query for what that directory is on your system. This means that you can write Qt3D applications in C++ that use the libraries by simply adding CONFIG += qt3d to your .pro file.
If you get early errors about not being able to copy the .prf files then check that you have set up QtCreator to use a Qt that you can write to.
The build will then continue on and compile all of Qt3D's examples and demos, using the libraries as installed. When finished a message like "The process /usr/bin/make exited normally" should be displayed.
There is no need to run a make install step.
Now you can use QtCreator to run one of the examples. You can do this by right clicking on the example you want to run in the build tree (in this case, the "basket" app), then clicking the green arrow bottom to actually launch the app.
Congratulations on building Qt3D!
If you built for Harmattan - N9. Now you'll want to go ahead and create some packages for your device. Ensure you have your device correctly set up for use within QtCreator, by activating the device wizard under the Tools > Options or Preferences menu. Now right choose Deploy Project Qt3D from the Build menu. This step will cause the SDK to copy the harmattan support files from the qtc_harmattan directory of the Qt3D sources into $BUILD/debian and then proceed to create the 3 debian packages which are specified there, by the *.install files and the rules file. When its complete 3 package files will have been created:
The first of these libqt4-3d_1.0-rc_armel.deb which provides all the Qt 3D functionality including QML support has been deployed to the phone. The other two are in the directory below your build directory. If you want to deploy the examples to your N9, you can do this with ssh from the command line.
On Linux assuming that you have built Qt 4.8 in $HOME/build/qt/4.8, you would configure and build Qt3D as follows:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/build/qt/qt3d && cd $HOME/build/qt/qt3d $ $HOME/build/qt/4.8/bin/qmake $HOME/source/qt/qt3d/qt3d.pro $ make -j 4
Note that the $ above means the shell prompt (don't type the $).
The last line runs the example QML application moon to check that the build went OK.
On Windows (with Visual Studio) those commands look like this:
mkdir \build\qt\qt3d && cd \build\qt\qt3d qmake \source\qt\qt3d\qt3d.pro nmake
These commands for Windows assume that your Qt build for Qt 4.8 is in the current PATH - so that the qmake invoked above is actually going to be the Qt 4.8 qmake.
On Symbian (with RVCT) those commands look like this:
mkdir C:\source\qt\qt3d cd C:\source\qt\qt3d qmake CONFIG+=old_importer sbs -c armv5_urel cd devices\symbian createpackage Qt3D_template.pkg release-armv5 runonphone --sis Qt3D.sis
Once you have built Qt 3D, you can run the "teapot" example:
$ cd $HOME/build/qt/qt3d $ bin/teapot
If all goes well, you should see something like the following on the screen:
Qt3D has been tested with Qt/X11 and Qt/Embedded under Linux, on MacOSX and Windows XP. It also runs on Symbian^3 and MeeGo/Maemo.
Patches for other platforms are welcome.

A village is a place where people live, normally in the countryside. It is usually larger than a hamlet and smaller than a town or city. In some places, it may be a kind of local government.
History[change | change source]
In the past, villages were where most people lived. After the Industrial Revolution, when people started making a lot of things in factories, people lived more in towns. Moving to towns is called urbanization.
United Kingdom[change | change source]
In The U.K. the biggest difference between a hamlet and a village is that villages have a church. The difference between a village and a town is that the town has a market.[source?]
United States[change | change source]
Incorporated villages[change | change source]
In twenty US states, a "village" is a sort of local government, similar to a city but with less power and for a smaller place. But this is not so in all the United States. In many states, there are villages which are bigger than the smallest cities in the state. The difference is not the population, it is how much power the different sorts of places have, and what they do for people living there.
New York state[change | change source]
In New York state, a village is a place which is usually called a town.
Unincorporated villages[change | change source]
In many states, a "village" is only a place where people live, with no legal power, similar to a hamlet in New York state. The name for these is "unincorporated villages".

The Sweet, Sweet Taste Of Beer
The other night, over a glass of porter, Erica asked me how to make a sweet beer. It was a reasonable question – the porter in question is big, boozy, and sweet in the same way that a bar of Sharffenberger 62% is big, chocolatey, and sweet. "Put a lot of sugar in it," I [Continue Reading…]

Now that you are an urban homesteader, let's talk about some of the surprises.

Homebrew Husband Plants Something!
A few weeks ago, our garden witnessed an unusual event: I planted something.

But fresh back from the Seattle Tilth [Continue Reading…]

Jenny Hval's Innocence is Kinky might just be Norway's finest export since the great Knute Rockne (Go Irish!). It is experimental, indiscreet, discomforting, noisy, and beautiful. Hval's powerful voice whispers, speaks, rises and floats, falls and drifts out.
With the brazen opening line, "That night, I watched people fucking on my computer," Jenny Hval grabs your attention. Onto a canvas, with voice hushed, she paints a pheromonal landscape of sly, brazen, and seductive temptation while controlling the freedoms of her extended vocal style. On "Mephisto in the Water", Hval exudes an innocence which in the opening track was shrouded in a thick fur overcoat of lechery.
Then things start getting a little bit weirder...
In order to meet my past-due deadline, and at the risk of being called lazy, or unhinged, the following lines will sum up this album with the use of mystical and/or mythical metaphor.
Innocence is Kinky begins deep in her body and flows through her bones then rises from her mouth and fingertips until she is outside looking down at herself.
She walks the wooded path and catches glimpses of sunlight streaming through the mist among the Nordic birch trees. A light stream falls into the clear blue pool below. Peaceful discontent, joyful confidence.
Then it's night again. She loses the trail and fearfully jabs at the air, stumbling blindly. In the darkness, as she takes her first step over the cliff's edge, a giant Gullinkambi swoops in from the east, rescuing her. They soar above peaks and over green valleys. They approach storms and must blaze through. They clear the storm and land back down among the birch trees.
Wet and cold she heats up beside a fire with her inexplicable savior, the mysterious Gullinkambi. The light flickers on its beak. Its glowing eyes shine alertly. She meets its gaze and feels her spirit rising from its hidden place, through her bones, and then outside, again looking at her own body.
This wildly eclectic full length is available now from Rune Grammofon, and Hval is taking the inspired sounds of Innocence is Kinky to US stages this summer.

chew on this
Posted by Dale Buss on August 8, 2012 03:12 PM
McDonald's reported that same-store sales in July were flat worldwide, and it's getting some social-media flack because of its Olympics sponsorship — neither of which casts a rosy pall on the present reality of its business. But as the chain moves further into the new era of new CEO Don Thompson, it continues to innovate, test and probe for fresh ways to expand the brand, the franchise and its business model. Now those trials include breakfast in the wee hours of the night.
Thanks to the stagnating U.S. economy and greater competition globally, McDonald's reported that sales last month at stores open at least 13 months were unchanged worldwide while sales at domestic locations fell by 0.1 percent. Analysts had expected better on both counts. Meanwhile, because it's a purveyor of fat- and calorie-and sugar-laden products that global citizens want to eat — in contrast with the lean, healthy image of Olympians — McDonald's has been getting more criticism on Twitter than the two dozen other big Olympic sponsors, according to an analysis by WPP's MediaCom.
Tapping into health-conscious promised during the Summer Olympics, McDonald's U.S. has been promoting a "Favorites Under 400 Calories" menu as part of its Team USA campaign, personifying some of the items as seductively attractive in two national television commercials.
The 400-calorie push is the leading edge of McDonald's effort to prepare for a mandate that is coming down the pike from the White House: forcing restaurants to display calorie information right on their menus, not in the fine print or on some flyer lying around the place. That seems like a good reason to remind people now that the Egg McMuffin carries only 300 calories even while a Big Mac weighs in at 550 calories.
But the health impetus isn't stopping McDonald's U.S. from wooing diners to eat around the clock — a relatively unhealthy practice if you're trying to lose weight, or get more sleep for that matter — as the brand continues to look for ways to exploit relatively unexplored parts of the U.S. fast-food market.
That's why it first began serving breakfast decades ago, in addition to its initial staples of hamburgers, fries and Cokes for lunch and dinner. As it starts testing post-midnight food service, it's not alone, but it's certainly getting the most scrutiny.
Just as Starbucks is trying to open up a low-traffic daypart with alcohol sales, McDonald's is testing a "Breakfast After Midnight" menu for the relatively untapped "fourth daypart" — between 2 and 5 a.m. — as part of a limited-market test of its Nocturnivore menu.
As it converts stores to 24-hour operations in Ohio and Florida, a "Nocturnivore" menu and campaign is promoting late-night dining of not only "dinner" but "breakfast" items. Less than 1 percent of total fast-food traffic comes in during those hours, according to NPD — but 1 percent is still 1 percent. (Now, if McDonald's could just make its breakfast items available a little later in the morning...)
Below, Sojourner Marable Grimmett, one of the mom bloggers invited to participate in its "Wholesome Choices" blogger program, posted this video tribute to the Breakfast After Midnight initiative at a blogger preview in Atlanta earlier this year:

Survey results imply that Plant Controllers deploy a deep pool of skills on the job. Lucky workers who know Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Audit can expect a significant pay bump, scoring salaries 22 percent above average. Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Knowledge and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Compliance are also correlated to pay that is above average, with increases between 17 percent and 22 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include General Ledger Accounting and Human Resources. The majority of those who know Financial Analysis also know Cost Accounting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $70K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $86K. Plant Controllers bring in $94K after working for 10 to 20 years. Folks with more than two decades of experience actually report lower incomes overall; their average comes out to a mere $93K.
With a pay rate for Plant Controllers that is 16 percent greater than the national average, Houston offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Plant Controllers will also find cushy salaries in Atlanta (+9 percent) and Greenville (+8 percent). The smallest paychecks in the market, 17 percent south of the national average, can be found in Denver.

this is so interesting,
its one of those images you read what you want into,
i personally read a lot into it,
the clear clean beginning of school life,
getting more darker and more complicated,
just for its own merits a beautiful image......
love it
just shown this to my husband,
and ask him what he thinks it represents,
his view is
the child at five clean and like his parent,
about to join the school and becoming a clone of every one else.
i would love to know what your interpretation is,
if you have one.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hello there. Thanks you for showing interest in my latest photographs Must admit, still don't understand most of things concerning awards and voting here on photozine, but never mind that.
As for interpretation, well, no one can be wrong when looking at a conceptual photograph, and I find both of your
interpretations to be valid and true, as for life and as this photograph i've made out of some marbles and crystals i had.
I was mainly thinking about the transition then a persons psychology, energy and views change after entering life and education,
and of course, as your husband said, the system does try to depersonalize individuals and to corner creativity - that part is
asu know, depict by using of different coloration with the crystals also, white meaning full spectar of potential, and purity as well...
Even thou it is sort of a compelling theme i would call it some what classical approach to representing the idividual/child versus the system/education/machine - that life is so much about.
Thank you both for taking the time with this one

At the Christmas concert, The Winter's Heart, of the Coast Phoenix Singers on Dec. 15, choir director Michael Grice made a bold announcement - this would be their last concert. Fans were not worried, however, as they knew that the phoenix would rise again soon.
This month Gibsons-based Coast Phoenix Singers is amalgamating with Sechelt's Suncoast Singers to form a new community choir that has chosen the name Suncoast Phoenix.
The last concert was a special occasion, when Kelly Smit, as the piano collaborator, played the new grand piano in its first public performance. The purchase of the piano for Gibsons United Church was a legacy from the late Betty Paterson, a member of the Coast Phoenix singers as well as the church choir.
In the audience sat Joy McLeod, conductor of the Suncoast Singers. She has resigned her role as leader of that group, but will continue to lead the Pender Harbour Choir and to teach piano.
McLeod initiated the Suncoast Singers when she first arrived on the Coast in 2006 and its numbers have varied from 24 to 44 over the years.
"We've had some wonderful concerts," McLeod said, adding that she's leaving only because other musical projects are calling to her. "I want to work on projects that don't fall within the confines of a community choir - productions of master works or maybe Gilbert and Sullivan."
Besides, she added, it's good to have change as it helps the choir grow in knowledge. During the Christmas concert, Grice acknowledged the contribution to the Coast Phoenix choir of its last director, Bill Bourns, whose love of English cathedral music expanded to include sacred and secular pieces. Bourns passed away last year.
"We're really enjoying singing with our new musical director, Michael Grice," said chorister Sue Milne. "It's great to have Bill Bourns' musical legacy continue in the hands of another such experienced choral director."
Grice is a busy guy. He scarcely had a chance to enjoy retirement from teaching in Vancouver's school district when he was offered a job he couldn't refuse, as director of education for Vancouver Opera. Since he and his wife had already bought a home on the Sunshine Coast, that meant five more years of commuting until his second retirement. He also directs Coastal Sound Music Academy's adult choir in Port Coquitlam on Tuesday evenings, as he has done since 1996. When Bourns passed away, Grice was approached to lead Coast Phoenix.
"It was an age group and an experience level that I was used to," Grice said.
He agreed happily.
Both choirs seem enthusiastic about a merger, and they will be searching for an appropriate venue for the bigger choir.
"It opens up repertoire choices enormously," Grice said. "We can perform bigger, more exciting, challenging music."
Both these choirs currently rehearse Thursday evenings, so no adjustments were necessary and the new group has been offered rehearsal space at Living Faith Lutheran Church in Davis Bay.
The new Suncoast Phoenix is planning an open rehearsal Thursday, Jan. 24, at the church when interested Coast singers can visit to see if they might like to become members. The choir rehearses from 7 to 9:15 p.m. For more detailed information, call Grice at 1-604-788-0744.

I was trying to buy some riot points from the store, and it gave me an error. Naturally, my first instinct was "****, something to do with my credit card just went wrong." Sure enough, my account has had the money removed, but I'm still short the RP I paid for. Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried sending an e-mail, but there has been no response thus far. Edit: And really? Censoring innocent words to make them seem more vulgar than originally posted, are we?
Junior Member
yes it happened to me today, i bought 5k rp for $50 and it went through $13.20 and cancelled and took the moeny :/ email support/ring support il be doing it later
Some times you get the RP without it showing up. Try makeing whatever purchase you were going to do from the store.
Victor Mercer
Have had it happen before, but the reason behind it was because I put in my security code on the back of my card in wrong. The money was taken out and no Riot Points was given, in a few days after the money not going through, my bank put it back. Perhaps you may have put in the security code in wrong?(assuming it's a visa card, since that's the kind of card I've only been given from banks, don't know about the other providers) Wait a few days see if the bank puts it back in, if not send in a ticket to their support team.
sometimes you need to close the client and log back in so the client can refresh the info and you'll see you have your riot points.
*sigh* Necro....

Any suggestions for a Nocturne build? I have been starting out with Dorans shield then after that going for zerker greaves, then tiamat/mana manipulator for mana regen then brutalizer, bloodthirster, sword of divine(after selling dorans shield) and then another AD item....I have been doing OK but what would you guys suggest??
I'll copy paste this from another thread about the same topic. I actually prefer laning with him and it works out really well. Not the best harass but if even a small opportunity opens to kill someone in a lane, you can bet he can do the job perfectly after level 2 and having Q and E. Max Q then E then W putting points into ult whenever possible ofcourse. 21/0/9 masteries ArP Marks Mp5/Lvl Seals CDR Glyphs ArP Quints Zerk Boots -> Rush Brutalizer -> Best Friend Sword -> Starks -> Zeal -> Black Cleaver -> Ghostblade -> Phantom Dancer -> Infinity Edge Starks can later be sold for a Bloodthirster if you're hurting and need some better life steal but not really necessary. Build heavy AS with AD as you can take it. Proc your passive as often as you can not only for the heal but minion clearing. I have only lost 1 game with this build and I played him all day. The 1 game I lost I went 16-7 and no one on my team got more than 2 kills. Even the enemy team said they were only scared of me and wouldn't initiate in a team fight if I was around. Oh and if anyone hasn't told Shaco yet, tell him to move over. Best gank in the game just got a new name. Nocturne will make your heart skip a beat if you're low health and your screen goes dark. EDIT: Okay so after a few more days of toying around with him, ive found that my build has changed since I can work better with him. Once ganking and using your Q in conjunction with your passive to wipe out minion waves comes easy to you try this out. Start with Cloth Armor + Health/Mana Pots(I prefer mana for more harassing since your passive is plenty of heal) Rush Wriggles -> Zerk Boots -> Infinity Edge -> Zeal -> Black Cleaver -> Frozen Mallet -> Finish Phantom Dancer The Frozen Mallet can come a little earlier in the build if you are being focused a lot but I recommend going straight for IE and Zeal. Know when to get into fights, use your spell shield wisely! I cant stress how important that spell shield can be. Do NOT ult onto a gank unless the entire team is accounted for and you know for a fact you can shut them down. A lot of Nocturnes im seeing are ulting onto random people then crying that their team didn't follow them after they got counter ganked. Dont be afraid of a tank unless its late game with full builds, you can still chew through them pretty easily unless they have a decked build. Cheers all! Hope this helps for what is slowly becoming my new favorite champion. Cant get enough of the playstyle. Also dont let anyone tell you hes a bad farmer. His farming ability is insane when you can line up a Q and hit the right minion to proc your passive on the entire batch.
I wouldn't build him like a glass cannon as Kumu is recommending, unless your stomping a normal game or something. Against decent players you need the survivability of a BV etc if your gonna assassinate the squishy before getting killed.

Airport News
Manchester Airport's Aviation Viewing Park gains new shuttle service
Thu, 16 Apr, 2009
Visitors to Manchester Airport's Aviation Viewing Park will now be able to take advantage of a new shuttle service.
BusyBus' vehicles will run three times an hour from 07:30 to 18:00 BST every day from the aviation hub's transport centre which includes airport parking and a train station.
Tickets for the services cost between £1 and £1.50 depending on the age of the passenger, with a discount for airport staff.
The airport's ground transport manager Bob Longworth has commented that the new service could mean even more people could visit the "popular attractions".
"We're really proud of the new centre, with it only being opened in February of this year [and] I want to ensure that as many people as possible have access to see the history of aviation at Manchester Airport," he said.
British Airway's former flagship aircraft G-BOAC, nicknamed Alpha Charlie, is the only Concorde on display worldwide and has a fully accessible flight deck which visitors can inspect.
People using satnavs to drive to Manchester Airport may be interested in the post codes for Terminals 1, 2 and 3, which are M90 3PY, M90 4ZY and M90 3NZ respectively.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Police have arrested three California men accused of calling in bomb threats to two high schools in Scottsdale on Tuesday.
Police believe the suspects committed the threats to lure police away from the downtown Scottsdale area so they could rob a coin shop.
The suspects are Daniel Alberto Verdin, 25; Davyd G. Jimenez, 44 and Sanches Moises Ortiz, 25.
They allegedly called 911 and said there were bombs on the campuses of Chaparral High School and Desert Mountain High School.
The school resource officers at each campus began a cursory search of the campus looking for any suspicious persons or objects.
Additional patrol officers responded to each campus to assist with security and the search.
A staff member at Desert Mountain High School found an unattended backpack in a bathroom on campus. School officials began a procedural lockdown as a precaution.
A Scottsdale police dog was used to determine that the backpack posed no threat. After about 20 minutes the lockdown was lifted.
While police were on each campus, the school offices received additional telephone threats similar to what the 911 call center received. Classes resumed as police remained on campus for the remainder of the school day.
Police used telephone records and other investigative techniques to track down the suspects outside the A-1 Coins coin store on Main Street near 75th Street.
Police searched their vehicle and found evidence of the bomb threat, including packaging from the prepaid phone used to call in the threats, and a handgun.
That prepaid phone was also used to call the coin shop earlier in the day, according to police.
Steve Rye, owner of A-1 Coins, says the scheme was surprising, but not impressive.
"They forgot a few key ingredients, like the number could be traced even if they couldn't identify the owner," Rye remarked.

Try Funky Buddha's Maple Bacon Coffee Porter at OTC Tonight
It's Monday. You're tired, the week just got started, and Friday happy hour seems like a lifetime away. But good news! You don't have to wait five more days. Courtesy of Jacob Anaya Cure of the Mondays
Tonight, head on over to OTC from 4 p.m. through 8 p.m. and check out a very special happy hour hosted by Esquire beer columnist and Miami Herald writer Evan Benn.
The guest of honor is Funky Buddha's award-winning Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. Only today will you be able to taste one of the most anticipated brews of the year paired perfectly with a dish conceptualized by OTC's chef, Jacob Anaya. Short Order spoke to Anaya and Benn about the event, Funky Buddha's funky brew, and what other special treats they have planned.
See also: Lorenzo: Classy Italian Eats in South Beach
For the pairing, Anaya concocted Mexican style coffee-rubbed hanger steak sliders.
"The beer's sweetness of the maple, bitterness of the coffee, and meatiness with smokiness of the bacon needs a bold dish that can stand up to its characteristics," says Anaya. "With the similar ingredients of the beer, I made a dish while living in Hawaii, encrusting Big Island Steaks with Kona coffee and Maui sugar served with Kiawe wood smoked-mashed potatoes."
Foodies and beer fans can enjoy the porter for $10 or order the pairing for $15. And for something else sweet to pair with your brew, Anaya's created a couple of more things. "Since we created a savory dish, we thought it would be fun and challenging to create a couple dessert dishes."
The Funky Beer Float has two scoops of homemade chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks and cranberries, and also vanilla ice cream with white chocolate chunks and Hawaiian sea salt. It's topped with Funky Buddha's Special Maple Coffee Bacon Beer.
Funky Buddha's open palm ice cream sandwich fuses a homemade open-faced chocolate chip cookie, smeared with cherry jam and chocolate ganache, topped with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream.

FRIDAY, Jan. 31, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Among college students, alcohol use is more likely than marijuana use to lead to domestic violence, new research finds.
The researchers report that they found no link between pot smoking and partner violence among men.
A pair of studies by researchers at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and Florida State University found that men who have been drinking booze are at greater risk of becoming physically and sexually aggressive against their partners compared to those who have been smoking pot. They're also more likely to be psychologically aggressive.
In addition, women were also more likely to be aggressive after drinking compared to after smoking pot, the investigators found.
The studies tracked male and female college students in relationships who'd consumed alcohol recently. The participants described daily events in online diaries for 90 days.
The study on how male students behaved while drinking or smoking pot appears in the January issue of the journal Addictive Behaviors, while the look at female students was published online recently in the journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors.
The men were more likely to be physically and sexually abusive after drinking, and the odds went up with each drink consumed. Psychological abuse was more likely only when men consumed five or more drinks, the findings showed.
In women, the researchers linked physical and psychological aggression to alcohol use, and also linked psychological aggression to marijuana use.
"I think it is too early to make definitive conclusions regarding the role of marijuana and intimate partner violence perpetration, as the research in this area is quite young and, to date, studies have provided conflicting evidence regarding its role in increasing the odds for violence," study co-author Gregory Stuart, a psychology professor at the University of Tennessee, said in a university news release.
"However, we now have numerous studies suggesting alcohol use does increase the odds for violence between partners," Stuart added.
Another study by the same authors and a grad student, published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, found that pot-smoking women were less likely to be physically violent.
"Our findings suggest that dating violence prevention and intervention programs should target reduction in alcohol use, but surprisingly, most of these programs largely ignore alcohol use," study co-author Ryan Shorey, a psychology doctoral student at the University of Tennessee, said in the news release.

From the Himalayas to the Alps and Rockies, mountain glaciers are rapidly melting. A sign of a warming climate, their retreat may also threaten hydropower and water supplies for cities below. To put current trends in context, scientists at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory are studying rocks that record the ebb and flow of ice since the last ice age, over the past 20,000 years. They will travel the high peaks of the Peruvian Andes, including Nevado Coropuna, a 22,000 foot volcano. Other scientists will study pre-Columbian remains on the mountains. Geologist Gordon Bromley reports from Peru, while geochemist Gisela Winckler writes from the Lamont campus.
LDEO Research Blogs
Arctic ice is declining rapidly—a trend with enormous implications for global weather and climate. Freshwater pours into the Arctic Ocean from the ice sheets and glaciers, and sea ice over the ocean itself is declining. Ocean Channels and currents there act as a kind of switchyard, sending fresh water into the North Atlantic, and small changes here may have larger impacts on climate downstream. To understand these processes, scientists are landing in small aircraft on the floating sea ice, and drilling down to study the water and currents below. Lamont-Doherty researchers Bill Smethie, Ronny Friedrich, Dale Chayes and Richard Perry report on their work here.
Earthquakes, floods, sea-level rise and sudden shifts in river courses threaten many of the 150 million Bangladeshis living in the low-lying Brahmaputra River delta. Scientists from Lamont-Doherty, Dhaka University and other institutions have begun a five-year project to understand the hazards and the possible hidden links among them. Lamont seismologist Michael Steckler keeps us up to date on the work.
Scientists from Lamont-Doherty and Indiana University-Purdue are camping by the Transantarctic Mountains, studying exposed rocks near the edge of the Antarctic ice sheet for clues to how the ice shifted in the past. They hope the geological record will help us understand the effects of a warming planet today. Mike Kaplan, Kathy Licht and others report from the field, and answer readers' questions, with help from Gisela Winckler at Lamont.
The Dec. 13-17 meeting of the American Geophysical Union, in San Francisco, is the world's largest gathering of earth and space scientists. Scores of researchers from the Earth Institute will give presentations. Read about it here.p>

Yankee Stadium, New York, New York
Derek Jeter donned his customary pinstripes for the first time in nine months and immediately contributed to a New York Yankees offense that seems rejuvenated after a short slump.
The captain's solid history at the plate against Minnesota may be an indication that will continue as New York seeks a fifth straight victory over the struggling Twins on Friday night at Yankee Stadium.Jeter fractured his left ankle in Game 1 of the AL championship series against Detroit on Oct. 13. After an arduous rehabilitation process that included a setback in April when he fractured the ankle again, he had an infield single on the first pitch he saw and added an RBI groundout while making his season debut as the designated hitter in Thursday's 8-4 win over Kansas City."I was nervous going into the game," Jeter said.He was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning because of a tight right quadriceps, but that shouldn't keep him out of the lineup Friday."Jete thinks he'll be ready to play," manager Joe Girardi said.Neither Girardi nor Jeter believe the minor injury was from rushing back too quickly."I think Derek would run himself out there the next 70 games if it was up to him," Girardi said. "I mean, that's just who he is. He expects to play every day. So from that standpoint I think we have to guard against rushing him back too much, and we have to pick days off, and we have to pick DH days."In the perfect world, you have a month of spring training, but this has not been a perfect world around here this year."The Yankees (50-42) scored eight times for the second straight game after finishing with one run in losing each of their previous three. They'll look to continue their hot hitting with the help of Jeter, who is batting .326, including the postseason, in his career versus Minnesota and .351 in the Bronx.New York did just fine without him, though, the last time it faced the Twins, scoring 29 runs in a four-game sweep July 1-4. It has won seven of the last eight meetings with Minnesota, which will try to avoid a sixth straight defeat after falling 4-3 to Tampa Bay on Thursday.The Twins (37-52) were no-hit until the sixth and finished with just four while losing for the 11th time in 12 tries."We've still got to put the ball in play better than we did the last couple of days, and that really affected the outcomes of games (during the four-game sweep)," manager Ron Gardenhire said.Minnesota will try to bounce back against Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda (7-6, 2.77 ERA), who has pitched at least seven innings without allowing a run five times. The right-hander gave up three hits in seven scoreless innings before Mariano Rivera allowed a two-run, ninth-inning homer to Adam Jones in a 2-1 loss to Baltimore on Sunday.It was the second time in those five outings Kuroda lost a potential victory due to a blown save by Rivera.Kuroda will be opposed by Scott Diamond (5-8, 5.52), who had one of his better outings July 1 when he gave up three runs while striking out five in 6 2/3 innings before Minnesota fell 10-4 to the Yankees.Things didn't go so well for him Sunday, when he allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings of an 11-5 loss to Toronto. The left-hander allowed three homers and has given up eight over his last four starts after permitting seven through his first 12.Diamond is 1-4 with a 7.03 ERA over his last six outings.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press
