Applying for a North Carolina CDL - Class C License w/ Hazardous Materials Endorsement
Driving large vehicles designated as commercial class or certain specialty vehicles in the United States requires a commercial driver's license, or CDL . There are 3 classes of CDLs which are the same in all states. A class A or B license allows for the driving of commercial class vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of over 26,001 pounds. A class C CDL, on the other hand, allows you to drive passenger vehicles that carry 16 or more people (including the driver), or hazardous material vehicles , neither of which can exceed 26,001 pounds GVWR.
Eligibility for a Class C CDL in North Carolina
You must be 18 years old to apply for a license if you declare on your application that it will be for in-state driving. You must be 21 years of age to apply for an interstate license. You must have a valid driver's license, a clean driving record and proof of residency in North Carolina . In addition, applying for Endorsement H requires you to not have been convicted of any disqualifying crimes.
Applying For a Class C CDL w/Endorsement H in North Carolina
Along with an application, medical forms, and a $30 application fee, you will need two forms of ID, a social security card, proof of North Carolina residency, and proof of auto liability insurance. There is an additional $15 fee for a learner's permit, and a $60 fee for a 4 year CDL license. Applying for each additional endorsement costs $12 for a 4 year license. You will take these forms into a DMV office and submit them there.
Applying For Endorsement H
Obtaining endorsement H with your CDL requires some additional hurdles. You must pass a Federal Security Threat Assessment through the Transport Security Administration (TSA) and the FBI. You must also undergo fingerprinting. There is $86.50 in total fees for this process in North Carolina. You must pass a specific knowledge test on top of this. Also, Endorsement H requires renewal and a new background check every 5 years.
Other Information For a Class C CDL in North Carolina
Be sure to study well for the written test in order to avoid retesting and additional fees. You should plan on allocating additional funds to pay for commercial driving lessons. Make an appointment with the DMV office whenever possible to avoid long waits. Licenses must be renewed every 4 years.

Former Child Star releases new album The Time Manipulator
Little Rascals and Full House actor Blake McIver now a musician
The gifted, award-winning vocalist has been involved in the music industry for over 20 years, but it's only been in more recent times that McIver recognized his increasing passion to concentrate on performing and songwriting on more of a full-time basis.
McIver, 29, releases his new album, The Time Manipulator this week. The studio release, encompassing a collection of distinctive and dissimilar tracks that channel the passionate actor-turned-
The Time Manipulator encompasses 9 songs in all, including heartfelt hit Wish I Didn't Need You, the powerful Screaming @ The Opera, and the rousing Stand and Fight.
The album's official sleeve synopsis reads : The Time Manipulator is a musical journey through Blake's own "space time continuum." It has flavors of decades gone by (classic rock, gospel, bossa nova) as well as futuristic yearnings (dance, electropop). The through-line of the album is empowerment. Blake implores the listener to overcome their past to make way for the future.
McIvey, also a regular on Bravo's The People's Couch, was in the news last year when he announced not only his shift into music but his homosexuality, which he admits has been widely accepted with "no fanfare".
At age 6, McIver won the title of Star Search's Junior Vocalist Champion. This led to a film and television career that included Full House, Home Improvement, The Nanny, the Drew Carey Show, Clueless, and many others. He would also play Waldo in 1994's The Little Rascals. Blake has voiced animated characters in films and television shows such as Tarzan, The Little Mermaid II, Anastasia, Recess, and Hey Arnold. Blake has also worked extensively as a vocalist for artists such as Michael Jackson, David Foster, Natalie Cole, and Barry Manilow to name a few.
A full-scale media junket is underway for The Time Manipulator, with the album being broadcast on radio as early as May 1st.

To think I should report this to school?(38 Posts)
Today when I was walking home, there were a group of 4 or 5 boys probably aged around 10 or 11 walking home from school. At the top of my street is a very busy main road, and they started running across the road to the other side and back again. One of them actually stood in the road and waited until the cars were getting close and then ran back on the path. If I was in one of those cars I would have stopped and gave him a right telling off!
They ran off just I was getting close to them otherwise I would have said something to them. I know which primary school they go to - should I report this to the school? Just think something needs to be done about this, I can only think it's a matter of time before someone gets hurt.
Please report it. I am a teacher and can assure you that, at my school anyway, these phone calls are gratefully received and always acted upon. Our children are all bused in and we do loads on road safety. Unfortunately, we have at least one accident a year, usually because of kids messing around because they think they are invincible. The last really serious accident was because a girl ran out in front of a car during a game of 'chicken' and didnt see that a car in the other direction has just pulled away. Luckily, the driver of the car was only travelling at 15mph or so. The girl was still in hospital for several weeks though
Oh i laughed at my DS1 the other day for his theatrical strop and rant. It could have gone either way, but luckily I got so hysterical that he joined in. We were laughing so much one of us wet herself and the other was holding his sides. Happy days
Children were playing chicken 45 years ago when I was in primary school. One girl got killed! Its not a new game or one of boredom.
I would tell the school for several reasons (although I also would have told the boys off at the time).
1. You dont know the individual children but presumably can identify the uniform
2. The school can do a whole school assembly so that everyone gets the message
3. The school can follow it up with a note in the newsletter or individual letters home
No, and I think that's a shame.
I remember shitting myself if I'd been messing about and an adult came over to tell me off. I wouldn't have dreamed of giving them any lip about it.
Something has changed in the way we raise our children. We are of course responsible for the generation below us, so whatever if anything is 'wrong' with teens today (eg your example of responsibility) - look no further than us. We did it. or didn't do it but should have done.
But I maintain it's a crappy, confusing and emotional time. I wouldn't go through it again, that's for sure.
Mind you, I'm still suffering it. My children are 12 and 13 and I'm getting the tude I had my eldest screaming at me this evening. It's very difficult to deal with.
I did the worst, most awful thing you can do tonight though.
I laughed
I couldn't help it. Full on teenage tantrum. Screaming and yelling. Not one of his autistic meltdowns, which of course I handle differently, but a proper teenage strop.
I tried everything to stop myself but I couldn't.
True I am sure- I am only 33!
I genuinely really like most teenagers but I do think they have a growing lack of responsibility.
Stuff like playing chicken has happened for years but as you said most people won't pull them up on it now.
There's not a lot the school can do, but I would still report.
you sound like my dad.
Yanbu report it to the school. However I would be far more concerned for the innocent drivers who would be traumatised than for the boys themselves.
hecate if they are so bored why don't they join the scouts or one of the other youth organisations around the country? Or they could
Volunteer and do something useful. There are also excellent youth clubs in the majority of areas. I dont think teenagers are demons either and would be perfectly happy to tell one off but this pandering to them and making out their lives are so hard is ridiculous. They are drowned in material goods, have no responsibilities and mostly their
Own rooms. Compare that to our grandparents generation, the problem is they have it too easy.
Yes please report to the school. We had this at my last school - some year 7s were behaving very dangerously. The whole year group were then given road safety sessions, and those identified as behaving badly were reprimanded.
Road safety should be something taught by parents, but sadly, many parents do not.
I think teenagers are treated really unfairly, tbh.
They're kids. Not demons.
Most of them are nice. Even the loud ones hanging around the shops
There's bog all for teens to do. Too old for the park and most other fun activities. They're in some sort of dead zone
And everything they do is wrong. and people expect to treat them like children yet expect them to behave like adults.
Being a teenager is a hellish time. Hormone city. Wouldn't go back to it if you paid me millions. And not only do they have to cope with growing up, with new feelings, with becoming independent (a scary thing!) but they have to do it all with adults acting like they're the Children Of The Corn or something.
It's really sad.
Yes, report it. I reported the new year 7s who kept making me do emergency stops back in Sept. Clearly they'd never walked home alone before. I rang the high school and the deputy head rang me back to thank me. They got a couple of PCSOs to patrol for a bit.
tell children off
I'm sure you are right. It's sad though, if people are seeing a group of silly lairy boys as potential attackers. I tell children of - firmly but respectfully, and most of the time they cop on to the fact they are being silly and stop it or apologise.
And I live in an inner-London borough
I am more nervous of girls though
I think it's because so many people think that they'll be putting themselves at risk by doing so.
Whether that's true or not isn't the thing - it's the belief that it's true that is causing the problem.
And the more adults fail to step in when they see teens behaving badly - the more they feel they can.
When I was a kid, I'd stop messing about if an adult was around, cos I knew I'd get told off.
Nowadays, people feel like/fear that they'd just get a mouthful of abuse or worse from the kids, followed up by more of the same from the parents.
So people walk by.
When I was about nine a boy in my class was killed playing a game like this. I still remember him, it was tragic.
How do you report it to the parents if you don't know the children, lovely?
If you report it to the school, they can deal with it as appropriate. But they probably won't be able to identify the children either. So that only leaves a talk about road safety.
(I'm assuming she doesn't know who they are, or she would no doubt have included that.)
And it worries me as a parent, too. If my DSs are messing about and everyone lets them, and I never hear about it, then they are vulnerable
What worries me is that adults no longer tell children off. They leave it to someone they think has more authority. In this way, children get the message that no-one can tell them what to do, and indirectly, we are reneging on our responsibilty to care for them. I think this is a big societal shift.
Not talking about you, OP, you say they ran before you could say anything.
I also wouldn't advocate putting yourself in any danger.
But I notice how few adults tell pre-teen or teen children off in the street for dangerous or anti-social behaviour
i would have told them off, i shouted at some kids messing about on the road,probably shouldnt have done but i couldnt just walk past
I would do the school even though its not their responsibility and hope they would get the local police to talk to the kids..
We found out our ds2 was crossing the local railway line with mates aged 11, not being silly but just using it as a short cut.
A neighbour recognised them and told us.. I brought her wine and we all as parents blasted the arses off our kids.
Please tell.
Yes report!!
Lovely, I agree with you but she doesn't know the parents and neither would the police if she called them. The best way is to contact the school and let them deal with it.
Interesting how everyone thinks they are the school's responsibility. What about their parents? How about calling the police? It is exactly what someone did when my DS and his mates were having road races on their bikes, and quite right too. After the police officers had given them a good talking to, it was the turn of us parents. No more road races.
not not bot
I would have said something to them, and I would report to the school.
I have a 9 years old and a 12 year old boy. IME, most boys this age will bot give you a mouthful of abuse or anything like that, but will repond to a calm, firm telling off

Photography, Wine and Microfinance at Black Eye Gallery
Black Eye Gallery is one of only a few art spaces in the city dedicated to photography, and has met with enthusiastic support from artists and patrons alike. We hear from founders and professional photographers Tom Evangelidis and Adrian Brown about how the gallery started and why it's been so successful.
In mid-march 2013, Black Eye opened its doors, with the mission, as Evangelidis states, to "represent and exhibit not only established photographers but also to tap into the massive pool of emerging talent that we have in Australia."
Evangelidis and Brown had been keeping an eye out for a spot when they spied a promising space on Darlinghurst road. The site, which had previously been occupied by a Ken Neales 20th Century furniture shop, had been vacant for some time, and seemed a perfect venue. A quick volley of shrewd negotiation ensued, and by the beginning of the year the pair were proud lease-holders.
The 110 square-metre space required only minimal intervention, and within months was fitted with polished concrete floors, an exposed concrete ceiling and a wooden feature wall, giving the gallery a very distinct 'Berlin' feel. Arranged across a single continuous volume, it has an airy feel thanks to its glass shopfront and a row of windows at the rear. Black Eye also has the honour of being the first gallery in Sydney to employ exclusively LED lighting.
The response from photographers and the public has been exuberant, with shows booked back-to-back and excellent turn-outs at exhibition launches. Complementing this, Evangelidis and Brown have pursued connections with other areas that expand the gallery's exposure, for instance in hosting the launch of the Good Return Wine Club.
The event celebrated the partnership between Good Return, an Australian not-for-profit organisation which gives micro-loans to the poor in Asia Pacific, and Optimiste Wines, a boutique wine maker from Mudgee, New South Wales. Filling the gallery with an eclectic crowd ranging from the charitable to the gourmand, the evening was an invaluable occasion for networking, promoting the gallery to a new social segment, and coupling epicurean delights with an admirable social initiative.
Black Eye Gallery founders Tom and Adrian (right) at the Good Return Wine Club launch.
This, and other events like it, are helping to establish Black Eye as a pre-eminent space for photography in Sydney, and expanding the medium's appeal to a new audience.
Black Eye Gallery is currently showing "Southland," a series of large-format polaroid images of the South Island of New Zealand by gallery founder Adrian Brown.

How Not To Make An Online Dating Video
In what has to be a comedic interpretation of a "bad" video dating profile, single gal Debbie executes the worst eHarmony profile of all time. There's a lot to be learned from watching Debbie self-destruct on video. Namely, if you'd like to get a date, don't cry about cats before you've met your suitors in person. Actually, don't cry about cats in person either. You may want to save that for the third date or oh, NEVER.

How to use "gold list"
- Create a file "list_rot.gold"
- Find residues of interest and add lines grepped from a PDB file into list_rot.gold file.
Any line from a residue defines the whole residue.
- Make sure the toggle controlling residue specific conformer making in run.prm is on
t Use control file "head1.lst" for rotamer making (ROT_SPECIF)
- Make sure the toggle controlling rotamer making step is on
t Do rotate? (PACK)
If you want to limit conformer making for other residues, then
1 number of rotamers in a bond rotation (ROTATIONS)
- Run step 1 and 2
- Step 1 will create head1.lst base on list_rot.gold:
Residues with 4Å to those in the list_rot.gold will have 12 rotation steps in head1.lst
- Step 2 then create rotamers based on head1.lst
- Step 1 will create head1.lst base on list_rot.gold:
How to use Hic-up website to make tpl files
- Download the pdbdict file which contains connectivity of your cofactor.
- If your cofactor is on the hic-up site, you can download the pdb-dict file for the cofactor in the form of
XXX and xxx are the residue name in capital case and little case respectively.
- Example: If the cofactor is ADP. In unix you can run
curl http://xray.bmc.uu.se/hicup/ADP/adp_PDB_dict.txt > PDB_dict.txt
to download this file and save it as PDB_dict.txt
- If your cofactor is on the hic-up site, you can download the pdb-dict file for the cofactor in the form of
- Convert the pdbdict file to tpl format
there is a tool in the bin directory of MCCE package named pdbdict2tpl.py which does this job. Run
pdbdict2tpl.py PDB_dict.txt > adp.tpl
This converts the file into MCCE format and save it as adp.tpl
- the first two lines of this output tells you the format of the CONNECT parameter
- orbital type is guessed based on number of connected atoms, so you need to double check that.
- all the atoms are placed in ADP01 conformer.
If you want to move them to another conformer (eg. BK), you need to do that before going forward.
- Make other parameters using mk_iatom tool
Parameters including CONFLIST, NATOM, IATOM and ATOMNAME can be made automatically with mk_iatom tool based on CONNECT parameters. You need to avoid manually changing them. Run
mk_iatom adp.tpl adp.tpl
first adp.tpl is the input file name, second is the output name. You can name them the same, the output wouldn't be messed up.
- Add other parameters
So far only the parameters related to the structure are taken care of. You still need to make parameters for CHARGE, RADIUS, PKA, EM etc.
Check http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~mcce/doc/running_mcce5.php section 3.5.2 for the rest of the making process.
For atomic charge information, hic-up site provides a link to PRODRG server, which then provides GROMACS charges.
How to make additional conformers for cofactors
Some cofactors in the protein have more degrees of freedom than rotation around single bonds. Three more options are available to add rotamers.
- 1. Make sure the following two parameter are in the run.prm file:
1 Number of translation steps (N_TRANS) 0.5 Translation distance for each step (TRANS_DIST)
- 2. Add translation parameters into the tpl file
#23456789012345678901234567890123 #-------|-----|----|-------------- #ParaNam|Res |Atom|Param/toggle TRANS UbQ t
Rotating the whole cofactor around an axis defined by two atoms
- 1. This is similar as the regular rotamer making step, using ROTATE and SWING subroutines. So make sure the parameters in run.prm are correctly configured. You may want to turn on SWING for the small movement of the cofactor.
- 2. In the tpl file, ROTAMER parameter is used for controling this rotamer making step. However, instead of list all the atoms being rotated (Notice the sequential numbering starting from 0, which is required for MCCE to recognize multiple rotamer making controls):
#========================================================================= # Res # Axis Rotated_Atoms #23456789012345678901234567890123 #-------|-----|----|---------|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| ROTAMER ASP 0 CA - CB CG OD1 OD2 ROTAMER ASP 1 CB - CG OD1 OD2
- simply use WHOLE_CONF to tell the program to rotate the whole cofactor
#========================================================================= # Res # Axis Rotated_Atoms #23456789012345678901234567890123 #-------|-----|----|---------|----|----|----|----|----|----|----| ROTAMER UbQ 0 C9 - C10 WHOLE_CONF
Rotating the whole cofactor along a plane defined by three atoms
- 1. Same as the last option, this step also use ROTATE and SWING subroutine to make rotamers, so make sure run.prm is configured correctly.
- 2. SLIDE parameter is used to tell the program which three atoms are used to define the plane. The axis of rotation goes through the first atom, perpendicular to the plane. All atoms in the conformer will be rotated.
#==================================== # Res # #23456789012345678901234567890123 #-------|-----|----|----|----|----| SLIDE UbQ 0 C9 - C3 - C6
- 3. SPIN parameter is similar to SLIDE, using three atoms to define a plane and the rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane. The only difference here is the axis of rotation goes through the midpoint of first two atoms.
#==================================== # Res # #23456789012345678901234567890123 #-------|-----|----|----|----|----| SPIN BZQ 0 C1 - C4 - C2
How to compile new Delphi (version 0.4, release1.1 Jan,2005) program
- In the unzipped Delphi directory(hestia: /home/jun/Qui_oxi/Delphi_test/newdelphi/newdelphi/), the makefile is the instruction file to compile all the files. It determined which compiler it is using. The default compilers for Linux SGI computers are pgf77 and pgcc. We use f77 and gcc instead. Inside the /src directory, the source files are placed here. An important file listed in makefile /src/genericnew.mk classifies the source files into different compiling types. Basically, .f, .c. and .F files will be used by different compiler and options. In the original folder, qdiff4v.f, timef.f and qinttot.f files were replaced by qdiff4v.F, timef.F and qinttot.F files due to the compiling error. The major problem in the compiling procedure is the adjustable array is not supported by FORTRAN 77 Compiler 7.5a. The compromising way is use a constant value instead of the parameter called by adjustable array. The following parameters are replaced: resnummax in wrtsit4.f file is replaced by 10000. iisitsf in wrtsit4 file is replaced by 1. natm in wrtsit4.f and rforce.f files are replaced by 100000. After this process, the Delphi compilation could be achieved. Another parameter, nbra(1000) is adjusted into nbra(5000) in the vwtms2.f file according current Delphi modification. When we change the parameter ifrm from .true. to .false. in getatm2.f file, the new compiled executable Delphi will be changed from formatted pdb Delphi to unformatted pdb Delphi.
How to do energy correction using correction list after step3
- Extract energy.opp to a energies directory: zopp -x energies
- Copy the head3.lst and correct.lst into the energy directory. (An example of correct.lst is as folloing)
- run correction program: hestia: /home/jun/bin/opp_correct
- The opp files of the energies directory has been updated. If you need updated energy.opp, you can create energies.opp based on the updated energies directory: zopp -c energies
- An example of correct.lst:

For Marriage
Le Bouton Marriage
An idea that came to me strongly in Summer 2015. I did not actualize it. I was thinking at the time about newly approved marriage equality, and how YESSS! that was. How cool it will be when it's normalcy just IS. When equality just is.
I remember then talking marriage clothes to a few people, but the idea drifted away. I suppose it was because the images of the dresses were not in my mind. Now they are, after a year, they came in a flash that could not be resisted. This new expression in clothing is almost guiding itself. It's a bit of a command! Here is the concept talking to me : The Party Dress would like to be a wedding dress - it wants to be made in silk, actually, all of your dresses want to be wedding dresses - make that so - and you must do it this way - you must hand sew everything. They will be the loveliest dresses. There is nothing like them, and they must exist.
This is the first dress, the first style.
(waiting for the hem)
I am so proud, and happy.

"How about Nai?" Azula suggested.
"That's fine!" he chuckled.
"Hey Azula!" said a passing by girl in a shaky voice.
"Oh, Nai. This is my best friend Kowai. Kowai this is my boyfriend Sekushi," said Azula.
"Call me Kowaku!" said Nai.
"Such an ho-honer to be a friend of the Princess. Nice to m-meet you Kowaku," said Kowai.
"Hey, Azula! I'm having a party this Saturday, wanna come?" said a passing by boy.
"Sure, Sin Ki. Can Nai and Kowai come?" Azula said.
"Sure. No problem. Bye!" said Sin Ki.
That Saturday, at Sin Ki's party:
"Hey, Azula! Come in!" said Sin Ki.
Azula, Nai, and Kowai walked into his house. The party went on, when Nai and Azula snuck into the backyard to make out. The backyard opened to a wide forest. "So, let's make out!" said Azula.
"Oh, um, I don't think I'm ready yet," said Nai.
"DO IT!!" screamed Azula.
"No! I said I'm not ready!!!" he screamed.
"DO IT BEFORE I HURT YOU!!!" she screamed.
"I'm not afraid of you! I love you more than I fear you!!!" he hollered.
"You shouldn't say that," she whispered.
Then in a jolt of anger she blasted blue flames on his face, and he fell to the floor, dead. "HUH!!!" gasped a voice, coming from a close tree.
Azula walked to peek behind it and saw Kowai, spying on her, probably trying to watch them make out. Azula flashed lightning against her neck and Kowai's neck split, and then she was dead. Azula left the bodies and they were discovered a month later by Sin Ki, after the Fire Nation Police looked for them a lot. Azula went into shock and forgot everything. Everyone thought this was because her best friend and her girlfriend were gone.
Sekushi--Japanese for "Sexy"
Kowaku Nai--Japanese for "I'm not afraid"
Kowai--Japanese for "I'm afraid"
Sin Ki--Japanese for "Popular"

Separately, Sandeep Parekh has an interesting analysis in the Business Standard about the interplay between non-compete fees under the Takeover Regulations and the more basic question of whether non-compete agreements are even valid given Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (which makes agreements in restraint of trade void). Sandeep notes:
… on a correct interpretation of the Indian Contract Act, the Sebi regulation allowing non-compete payments itself stands on weak legs. If the law made by Parliament disallows non-compete payments, it is clear that a regulation by Sebi cannot possibly allow it and be the basis of discriminating between shareholders. This fine legal issue will no doubt be resolved by the Supreme Court in due course.Another factor that may be added to Sandeep's analysis is the possibility that non-compete agreements may be permissible if there is a sale of business along with goodwill. This is due to an exception to Section 27 of the Contract Act:
Exception 1.-One who sells the good-will of a business may agree with the buyer to refrain from carrying on a similar business, within specified local limits, so long as the buyer, or any person deriving title to the good-will from him, carries on a like business therein, provided that such limits appear to the Court reasonable, regard being had to the nature of the business.In case of a sale of a company, non-compete payments may be justified by buyers on the ground that they are obtaining the goodwill from the sellers. However, courts do have the discretion to determine whether limits of restraint are reasonable. Whether this exception will apply in the context of sale of shares in a public listed company that is followed by a takeover offer is another matter. But, whether this exception will apply when the seller does not completely exit the company (but continues to retain a partial stake) is a matter that introduces even greater complexity because it may raise a doubt as to whether there has been a sale of goodwill at all in order for the exception to apply. As Sandeep too observes, many of these questions merit no easy answers.

- In Dominic Deegan:
"That... hnh... wasn't so bad."
- ...When the Infernomancer reveals that the blindfold he's wearing features two very long spikes...
- A later arc has one-time villain Urban Eddie demonstrate how dangerous he's gotten by (thankfully off-panel) pulling one from a underling's head.
- Another villain's backstory involves him removing his own eyes.
- This happens a lot in Goblins.
- Gunnerkrigg Court:
- Invoked: to scare Paz, Mort creates an illusory Circus of Fear, where all the mannequins are missing their eyes. Except for the clown, brandishing a rusty saw, who says (in Spanish) "What lovely eyes you have, Paz. Will you give them to me?"
- Zimmy and Diego's eyes are commonly mistaken for no eyes at all when they're really a shadowy sort of blockage which is possibly meant to be from her little Crapsack World.
- Grin, the demonic antagonist of 70-Seas, takes a kunai through the eye, but just laughs it off.
- Used to distract Jer'kol by Ariel to allow Kormaril to strike at him in this strip of Drowtales. He got better. His eye did not, and Ariel finished him off the next time he tried to kill her.
- Abbey in Gnoph usually goes for the eyes first when fighting, with gory results. Three examples here, here, and here.
- 8-Bit Theater:
Red Mage: Wait, you murdered your own blind brother?
- "Rock-Paper-Scissors in the eye!"
- Additionally:
Matoya: I'll save you from the gruesome details, but suffice it to say that when a demon comments that he'd like to see things through your eyes, he's not speaking metaphorically.
- And then there's this little gem:
Black Mage: It would have been cruel to let him live after what I did to his eyes.
- This page in Namesake.
- Schlock Mercenary:
Tagon: * schllluk!* Thank you. Now I have a knife.
- See this strip.
- In fact. eyes are lost pretty often: Aardy, Chisulo (on purpose, no less, by Tagon), and Captain Tagon himself. Nano-surgery and rapid regrowth makes it a non-serious injury, though.
- Turned into a Crowning Moment of Awesome here (the above probably helped to prepare him for that):
- Inverted, astonishingly, in this strip of The Adventures of Dr. McNinja.
- How Sul lost his eye sight in Kiss Wood. After setting his house on fire, he realises Ro (a butterfly) is trapped in the house. He goes in to rescue her, but gets stabbed/burnt in the eye by a burning piece of wood that falls from the ceiling.
- The Order of the Stick:
- O-Chul broke out of his cage at an opportune moment and used one of the bars to take revenge on his torturer, Redcloak, by shoving it through his right eye. (Even better, had Redcloak not teleported out of the way first, it seems like◊ O-Chul wasn't going to stop with the eyes...) This parallels Start of Darkness, in which Redcloak's younger brother lost his left eye when paladins attacked their village. While Redcloak can heal said wound, Xykon forbids him from doing so as a reminder of his failure to properly protect his Phylactery.
- It is a bad idea to say "I think there's something in my eye." when Belkar is within (dagger) range.
- Eagle-Eye Pete learned that it was a bad idea to choose a nickname based on something he couldn't afford to lose. Twice.
- Lacking anything else to use as a weapon at the moment, Roy smashes the phial of the healing potion he just chugged down into Thog's eye. Even a raging Barbarian can't shrug off broken glass in the eyes.
- Sluggy Freelance: "Keep your eyes peeled." The damage leaves Acey with an Eyepatch of Power.
- Also, apparently Oasis once popped a guy's eye out of its socket and strangled him with his own retinal cord.
- Also Dr. Schlock, here.
- Baam from Tower of God cuts up Hwa Ryun's face with his Defense Mechanism Superpower. A clean, deep cut right through the eye.
- While Starslip doesn't explicitly show how Cutter loses his eye, the implication is pretty clear.
- Inflicted in Dead of Summer on Dr. Light.
- Queen of Wands, here:
Grammar Nazi: How are you feeling now, Jimmy?Jimmy: Like I just fucked Jocasta!
- Penny Arcade:
"There's a creature in these old ruins called The Eyeball Stealer And Then Eater. Nobody knows why."
- This...
- ...was not the first time they've done it. Jesus FUCK my EYE CHRIST!
- Nor the last. But that would be needlessly unpleasant.
- And possibly—possibly—this.
- "Modifying Nerf weapons to fire ordnance other than official Nerf-sanctioned ammo is strictly forbidden."
- From the "Midnight Crew" intermission in Homestuck:
Snowman: Hold still Slick. Something in your eye.
- Also, Rose attacks an ogre in the eyes with knitting needles, blinding it. Then uses the yarn as reins and rides it.
- Her alpha counterpart does the same to Guy Fieri. It's a tad bloodier this time.
- We eventually learn how Terezi was blinded: mind-controlled to sleepwalk outside and stare into the sun until her corneas burned out. (Fridge Brilliance: Pyrope means "fire-eyed".) This was in revenge for Terezi having caused another character to lose an eye and an arm to an exploding cue ball.
- Sollux's eyes are taken out completely by a blast from Eridan, leaving only empty eye sockets.
- The Big Bad mind controls Human Session Alpha Jack Noir into stabbing his own eyes out.
- It's hinted that Jack knifed them because he couldn't stop staring.
- In the bonus arc of Deities Death gets an arrow shot in his eye in this strip by War.
- Shuugo of Juathuur gets his eyes gouged in a flashback. You can view it in all its gory glory here.
- Wapsi Square has this lovely little strip.
- String Theory has Dr. Schtein, who had his eyes melted out of his head by a plasma burst in an experiment gone terribly wrong; however, he receives working red-on-black prosthetics. Schtein is still unhappy about his appearance, though.
Schtein: The only thing that happened to me is a plasma arc burnt the front of my face and melted my eyes out of their sockets.
- Matt from Murphy's Law fires an arrow into a dragon's eye.
- In chainsawsuit, a man gets a popped champagne cork in the eye here.
- Our Little Adventure:
- A female imperial mook the group was fighting in this comic gets shot by Julie in the eye right after this mook lost her arm.
- And in one of the later battles against an Angelo Kid, this magician cast blindness on Angelika. Instead of something traumatic happening to her eyes, they completely disappear from her face.
- Poor, poor, Liam. And it was done by the Spy who replaced Gabry, his lover.
- Suicide for Hire: A (rather doped-up) man loses an eye after receiving a lap dance by a stripper with implants. No, really.
- A Softer World: In this world there are two kinds of people. People like me, with knives, and people like you, with eyeballs.
- In Godquest'', Galvan has to wear a mask over his eyes because he lost one of them confronting a demon.
- The Dragon Doctors'' has Goro confronting a woman with Eye Beams. Goro is badly hurt in the fight, but proves very handy with a pair of scalpels.
- Sequential Art has possibly the cutest Eye Scream ever. Stoopid candee cane.
- The Purple Shirted Eye Stabber from Cyanide & Happiness. Subverted in one strip where the guy getting stabbed is a fan and is happy to get his eye stabbed.
- Played with in this strip.
- In Digger, it's mentioned to be a "kindness" to sew shut the eyes of acolytes who display second sight, possibly so they aren't constantly trying to untangle it from their first sight.
- Unicorn Jelly: Eye am not eye!
- In Prophecy of the Circle, one of the tekk gets a spear thrust into its eye. We don't see the impact, but the aftermath — half of the spear's shaft stuck between bloodied eyelids — isn't too pleasant.
- UNA Frontiers: Cyberna is troubled by recurring visions of a woman with gouged eyes, which come from the carried-over memories of the woman whose brain patterns served as her personality template.
- Unsounded: Duane's having a bad day.
- Parodied in John And John.
- In Men in Hats, Aram puts deadly poison into Gamal's eye while teaching him about "Word of the Day" fun.
- In El Goonish Shive, Elliot defeats the first Goo by punching its eye out and lighting it on fire.
- In this episode of Brawl in the Family, Mario and friends set up camp on a hill, and Mario unwittingly drives a stake into its eye.
- In Fairy Dust, a deserter who had been ordered blinded and mutilated bargains for a Mercy Kill, and gets it by being stabbed through an eye socket so it would look like the original orders were being obeyed.
- Grrl Power:
- 3 million Scoville noodle, directly to the eye. Medic...
- Dabbler pulls out her cybernetic eye to show off. We don't see her face when she does so, but it causes a nearby waiter to freak out and drop everything.
- The trope is deliberately in invoked by Achilles here, as a way of psyching out Heavenly Sword.
- In Slightly Damned:
- This is (sort of) used as a gag when Buwaro first hears the words "ice cream".
- In Book Of Lies, there is an entire chapter all about a man who cuts the eyes out of his victims.
- In Crepuscule, Neal has had his eye ripped out by Navarus as 'punishment'. Twice.

Reiji Oyama (大山 礼児, Ooyama Reiji) is one of the characters from Power Instinct Matrimelee, having made appearances as a playable character since the first game in the Power Instinct series.
He works part-time for a construction company to exert his excess energy. He also constantly searches for a worthy opponent.
Reiji received an invitation to participate in a fighting tournament that is going to be held in a faraway country in which the prize is to get married with the princess of that Kingdom. Reiji decided to participate in the Matrimelee tournament. However his aim is not really the princess; he participates to test his Karate.
Personality Edit
Reiji is very straightforward and honest and is the ultimate training fanatic. He does not do well with minute details, but excels at physical strength matches. He also apparently takes his training very seriously, as he becomes upset with himself if he loses.
Powers Edit
- Pyrokinesis - Using his ki, Reiji can create flames to add extra damage to several of his special attacks.
- Blazing Kicks - Reiji can kick at amazingly fast speeds.
Fighting Style Edit
He fights using a form of Karate.
Music Edit
- Otoko no Karatemichi (Way of the Karate Man) - Power Instinct
- Otoko no Karatemichi: Part II (Way of the Karate Man: Part II) - Power Instinct 2
- Otoko no Karatemichi: Yakyuu Ouenfuu (Way of the Karate Man: Baseball Version) - Power Instinct Legends
- The No-Money Ranger - Matrimelee
- Otoko no Karatemichi: Kanzen Ban (Way of the Karate Man: Complete) - Goketsuji Ichizoku Matsuri Senzo Kuyou
Game Appearances Edit

- Power Instinct 2
- Power Instinct Legends
- Groove On Fight - Cameo
- Power Instinct Matrimelee
- Shin Goketsuji Ichizoku: Bonnou no Kaihou
- Goketsuji Ichizoku Matsuri Senzo Kuyou
- One of Rugal's statues in The King of Fighters '94 resembles Reiji. Given that the other statues are meant to look like Street Fighter characters, this could have been intentional.

The former welterweight champion — who became equally famous in a Miller Lite beer commercial — was among seven living boxers and ring personalities inducted Sunday. Another eight were enshrined posthumously.
The 2004 induction class included featherweight Azumah Nelson of Ghana, light heavyweight Dwight Muhammad Qawi of the United States, and bantamweight Daniel Zaragoza of Mexico. Also enshrined were promoter J. Russell Peltz and South African referee Stanley Christodoulou.
Palomino described his childhood in a poor, crime-ridden section of San Luis, Mexico, and said his parents saved him and his 10 siblings from drugs and the gangs that controlled his neighborhood.
"My dad was my strength. My mother was my heart," said Palomino, a world welterweight champion from 1976-1979.
After the ceremony, showing off his ring to his two grown daughters, Palomino said he always finds it hard to talk about his parents, especially his father, without becoming emotional. It was his father who steered him from baseball to boxing and made him spar in the backyard with one of his four brothers.
"He would tell me one day I would be champion of the world. He would tell me all the time. He got me so I started believing it myself," Palomino said.
Palomino won the WBC welterweight crown in 1976 and successfully defended it seven times before losing the crown in 1979 to Hall of Famer Wilfred Benitez. He had a career record of 31-4-3 with 19 knockouts.
Palomino began boxing competitively in the Army and in 1972 won the national AAU championship, defeating eventual Olympic champ Sugar Ray Seales.
Six months after being dethroned by Benitez, Palomino lost to Roberto Duran and retired at 30.
His father died in 1995, spurring a brief comeback in 1997-98. He won four of five bouts before retiring for good.
Palomino now coaches young fighters in the Los Angeles area. He also took up acting. He has appeared on "Taxi" and other TV sitcoms as well as in supporting roles in about 20 films.
Palomino was inducted in the modern-era category, along with Nelson, Qawi and Zaragoza.
Nelson, of Ghana, was a world featherweight and super featherweight champ from 1984-94. He had a 39-5-2 record, with 28 KOs.
A six-member presidential delegation from Ghana attended the ceremony to watch Nelson's induction, which he called "the greatest moment in the history in the saga of African boxing."
Zaragoza won the Mexican bantamweight title in 1982 and successfully defended it 10 times. He held world bantamweight or super bantamweight championships five times between 1985-97. He finished with a record of 55-8-3, with 28 KOs.
"This is an amazing victory," Zaragoza said, his oldest son translating for him. "This is a certain victory. Not even death can take this away from me. There is no more defeat."
Qawi, known as Dwight Braxton until his conversion to Islam in 1982, won world lightweight and cruiserweight titles in the mid-1980s. His record was 41-11-1 with 25 KOs.
Qawi said his induction was "closure" for his boxing career, which he extended with a couple comebacks.
"Too many times fighters hold onto the past. A lot of athletes do that," Qawi said.
"I really need this in my life. I need this ... to say to me it's over. You did your best. You did all you could do. You gave it what you had. Then move on," he told the crowd.
The hall of fame also inducted writer W.C. Heinz, 89. Heinz, who lives in Vermont, did not attend because of his age and was represented by his daughter.

Flying-Fox Education Kit
This education kit provides activities for teachers for year levels 4 to 9.
Year 4
The year 4 unit "The life cycle of the flying-fox", introduces students to flying-foxes and their importance in the environment. It introduces flying-foxes as mammals and familiarises students with the life cycle of flying-foxes and native trees. From this, students will come to realise the co-dependency that exists between flying-foxes and native trees and the need to protect both.
Year 5
The year 5 unit "Adaptations of flying-foxes", introduces students to how flying-foxes have adapted to their environment. It allows students to explore the bat wing and compare it to the human arm. It looks at how the mega-bats and micro-bats have evolved differently. Finally it introduces students to how we can learn to live peacefully with flying-foxes.
Year 6
The year 6 unit "The flying-fox habitat", introduces students to how the flying-fox habitat has been destroyed and how that has led to some flying-foxes being listed as threatened species. They will also explore how scientists are helping people to come up with solutions to help both flying-foxes and man.
Year 7
The year 7 unit "Where do fling-foxes fit in?", introduces students to classifying microbats and mega-bats through the use of a classification tree and identifying distinguishing features. It looks at forest food chains and webs and human threats to the web. The unit finishes with a look at how we can become more flying-fox friendly in our neighbourhoods.
Year 8
The year 8 unit "Specialised flying-foxes", introduces students to the digestive and reproductive cycle of the flying-fox and compares them to the human systems. It encourages students to explore how these systems have evolved to ensure their survival. Finally it encourages students to think about how the survival of flying-foxes is now in danger because of these adaptations.
Year 9
The year 9 unit "Flying-foxes ecosystems", introduces students to the ecosystem of the flying-fox and the abiotic and biotic factors that can influence the health of the ecosystem. The unit asks students to choose from a series of challenges about flying-foxes that will test their scientific knowledge and comprehension.
Working with bats
This includes a list of people who work with bats that you might like to invite to talk to your class. It also includes ideas for excursions to flying fox camp sites across southern Queensland.
Excursion ideas
This page provides teachers with locations that they can take students on excursions to visit flying fox camps in southern Queensland.

Sun TV continued with its robust performance, reporting revenue growth of ~53 per cent for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010-11 at Rs 4,404 million. The net profit stood at Rs 1,709 million, an increase of 42.7 per cent from Rs 1,198 million in the same quarter last year.
According to a company statement, growth in revenues had been largely a function of sustained advertising growth and subscription revenue contributed through a well-diversified mix of clients (national, regional and local) across multiple product categories.
"Key driver for Sun TV's revenue growth was the movie business, the revenues of which grew by 118 per cent. Also, growth in domestic subscription revenue from analogue cable and DTH by 42 per cent and 84 per cent, respectively, contributed to the overall growth," pointed out Mihir M Shah, Research Analyst, Alchemy Share & Stock Brokers.
Effective cost rationalisation measures grew Sun TV's Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) by 60.95 per cent to Rs 3,599 million in Q1 FY11 as compared to Rs 2,236 million in the same quarter last year.
Anand Shah, Senior Research Analyst - FMCG & Media, Angel Securities, noted, "The cost of revenues (down 116bp YoY to Rs 27 crore), staff cost (down 173bp YoY to Rs 40 crore) and other expenses (down 108bp YoY to Rs 14 crore) declined. Moreover, the incremental growth in advertisement revenue, contributing ~55 per cent to the total revenue was largely on account of ad-rate hike, which directly reflected in the margins (due to no cost attached)."
The company gave a guidance of 10-15 per cent growth in ad revenues going forward.
