Milestones:
1300c Chinese judges wore smoke-colored quartz lenses to conceal their eye expressions in court.
Emperor Nero apparently enjoyed watching gladiator fights with emeralds over his eyes!
Protecting children’s eyes from direct sunlight is just as important as protecting adult eyes. However, many sunglasses that are marketed for children are very low quality and provide little in the way of actual protection from the UV rays of the sun that can cause damage. Finding the best sunglasses for children takes a bit of time but you can have the peace of mind in knowing that you are helping to protect your child’s vision now and in the future.

Re: Eskimo Snow Goggles - now more than ever
I haven't seen that movie.Your plot summary interested me. I googled. "Bigger than Life". A seriously ill schoolteacher becomes dependent on a "miracle" drug that begins to affect his sanity. Bigger Than Life was based on a 1955 The New Yorker article by medical writer Berton Roueché entitled "Ten Feet Tall". James Mason loved cats enough to write a book about his favourite felines with his wife.The very interesting director Nick Ray: recurring motifs...extreme empathy for society's young outsiders. Sympathetic eye to rebels and criminals. empathy for social misfits. Himself a heavy user of drugs and alcohol.
"The catalyst for Ed’s transformation is a bunch of jagged little pills, namely cortisone, which have the potential of saving his life. But the side effect is Ed’s Jekyll-and-Hyde makeover into a nightmare version of patriarchy. In the Eisenhower decade of Father Knows Best and Leave It to Beaver, Ray makes room for Daddy all right, exposing him as a doppelganger father, a tragically diabolical cross between Vince Lombardi and the Biblical Abraham.
Not only does Ed deliver one of the most acrid speeches ever on the American education system (on P.T.A night, no less), he also devotes quality time to terrorizing his son, at one point turning an all-American glass of milk into his version of Capt. Queeg’s stolen strawberries. Always cowering in the background is Lou, fearful as much for preserving middle-class appearances as saving her own life."
...wish we had a dvd shop in town.

...strangely, user, the pictures I've posted are behaving badly and rearranging themselves or vanishing from the page. Maybe they're taking too much space or else are they are revolting. Anyway, I'm keeping the visuals to a minumum now...freaky. Actually your last post evoked strong visuals...brilliant!

'Snarkish Soundbite'...fabulous username for Trish should she weaken.
I know no snarkish soundbites, unless this qualifies:
FROHSINNSFASCHISMUS: the god-awful mediocrity of organised fun.

Most of the fun I've had has been random, unplanned and disorganised.
Here's a snarkish soundbite that should adorn the twitterbird.
PLAUSCHPLAGE: the pressure to make bantering small talk with people you interact with every day. (prattle-plague)

Ah such a paradox. A person wary of the stop and chat who also suffers from THIS malady:
Verbal Diarrhea
A condition suffered by an individual who has the inablility to shut the fuck up, I.e the words keep flowing.

Calling Everest
"Then you hear your mobile. Being 29,198ft above sea level is no longer an excuse for not answering. In 2007 China Telecom installed a mast near the Everest base camp."

A MOUNTAIN climber has angered Nepalese authorities for making a video phone call from the summit of Mount Everest.
Daniel Hughes was making the climb to raise money for UK charity Comic Relief, when he spoke live to BBC News on a video call.
Nepalese officials want to meet with the expedition leader because Mr Hughes had broken broadcasting laws.
"The mountaineering rules say if you want to make a live telecast from the mountain, which is a restricted area, you have to get permit first and inform us early about what you’re going to do," Dipendra Poudel, from Nepal's Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Aviation told BBC.
The required permit costs about $2000.
During the call, Mr Hughes said the phone call was a first.
"This is the highest live video call, never been done before," he said.
Expedition leader David Hamilton told the BBC the rules were "a little bit grey about shooting short video clips and putting them on websites".
"If we realised this filming was going to be an issue, we would have tried to head it off at the beginning."
