Welcome to the Desktop Dungeons Wiki!
If you've never played a roguelike before, prepare to die, because you will! A lot! Desktop Dungeons was designed as a quick 5-15 minute mini-roguelike experience for you to enjoy without having to lose yourself for hours in the more complex roguelikes such as Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. (DD is also heavily inspired by DCSS.)
In the coming weeks this will be established as the #1 source for information about the PC game Desktop Dungeons. Registration is easier than most forums; feel free to contribute Susan Lim if you spot any inaccurate information.

Hi, thanks for reading this. I've been working at my school for nearly three months under an E2 visa. I told them I wanted to leave after a month and they ignored me. So I told them again a couple of weeks ago that its really gonna happen. They said it wasn't possible because I signed a contract. Now, I know this is b*ll*cks and I told them. My contract says 60 days written notice, but I haven't done the written bit and don't want to wait that long now anyway. The school said if I left I'd have to pay for everything, flight, visa, recruiter fees, etc. I told them I'd pay back flight and help them find someone else. Still not happy and told I couldn't go and if I left they'd report me. I reckon if I tell them when i'm gonna go they're not gonna pay me. So left with one option then I guess and I think its gonna happen in a couple of weeks. Sorry about long message - but if you can answer any of the questions below I'll love you long time. Do I need to report that I've finished at the school to anyone first before trying to leave the country? What do I do with the alien card? Will I be stopped when trying to leave the country? - my passport says single entry for some reason (i'm british) Can I come back in the country without trouble? Can I work again or just tourist visa? Think i'm gonna go on holiday for a bit then try and get another job somewhere lovely in Korea. Any advice you can give would be really appreciated. Thanks for your time, Mandi xxx Back to top TheUrbanMythJoined: 28 Jan 2003Location: Retired Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 6:29 am Post subject: The answers to your questions in order are as follows: No, hand it in at immigration on your way out of the airport No Maybe--if you attempt to enter AFTER the date of expiry on your original visa (I wouldn't try going in BEFORE the date of expiry) you can work again (if the original has expired) And I wouldn't try working on a tourist visa. You will be working illegally and that is just asking your boss to screw you over big-time as there is nothing you can do. With a proper work visa at least you can go to immigration and tell them you want out as your boss is not paying. You try that on a tourist visa and you will be deported and fined. You can come back with no worries when the date of expiry on your original visa occurs. Until then enjoy a holiday. Back to top Stunted WookieJoined: 06 Feb 2003Location: Sound Studio Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 7:02 am Post subject: yup Yeah I agree ...No one can stop you from leaving....wait out your E2 visa expiry and come back in to get a Decent job. You gave them notice so don't worry about doing anything else nice for your boss..they obviously didn't do anything nice for you by ignoring you did they? You don't have to be vindictive or mean...just stand up for yourself...leave and try again after your work visa has expired so you can get a new one. Back to top mandi100Joined: 24 May 2003 Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 7:12 am Post subject: So I can't get a new job... Thank you lovely people. So is it possible to get a tourist visa to come back on - just so i can have a mooch around the country for a bit. But you say there is no chance of getting another E2 visa til the first one has run out. I read on other messages something bout going to a different immigration office. Do you know anything about this. Thanks for all the help! Back to top dan seboldJoined: 01 Mar 2003 Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 7:36 am Post subject: Say no more to your bosses.

Hurts me to see another Brit in trouble - there's not too many of us out here. Seriously though - write your notice and plod on - I'm lucky in that my boss was very amicable. You could go to the British Embassy and say you've lost your passport, have a new one issued (once out of SoKo, say, a short break in Japan), different passport number etc............ shouldn't give away too many tricks should I Back to top AustinJoined: 23 May 2003Location: In the kitchen Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 10:00 am Post subject: Mandi... If you do not want to limit your options in the future, allow me to suggest an alternative route for you before I answer your questions. You committed to a one-year contract, and you do not like it. Your reason for wanting to leave is irrelevant, but allow me to highlight the facts. Your employer paid a recruiting fee, airfare, and the visa fee. If you leave without fully compensating your employer, you will be inviting trouble for yourself in the future. Though, it is apparent that you did not appreciate the ramifications of the commitment that you were undertaking, you should not burden your employer when the responsibility for your actions rests with you. It would be far more advantageous for you to simply reimburse your employer fully and work for a few more weeks until a replacement is made. In doing so, you can leverage a letter of release, which will allow you to roam freely within Korea to find other work. Least you forget, you are interfering with your employer's livelihood by leaving any other way. Do you think your employer is going to have your best interests, when you do not have his? To answer your questions: 1) You do not need to report to anyone if you decide to leave the country illegally. 2) Return your alien card at the immigration counter at the airport. 3) You may be stopped at the airport if you decide to leave illegally. 4) You can not return to the country within the time period specified on your visa. However, once your original visa expires, you might not be granted unfettered access to return to Korea (it will depend on whether your employer has you blacklisted or not). 5) Again, if you are blacklisted, you will not be able to return for up to two years, but this can be prolonged if legal action is taken against you. Why would you consider returning for another year, when you could not even make it one month on your original attempt? It may be wiser for you to simply move on in life, if you are not going to exit the "proper" way. Going to a different immigration office used to be an option, but with the addition of the nation-wide information system at immigration, you will not stand a chance of fooling anyone except yourself. I lost my passport legitmately a few months ago, and though I had different numbers on my new passport, immigration was able to trace my prior entries and exits into Korea. In other words, I would disregard the previous posters advice, as that "trick" does not work now in these post 9/11 times. Best of luck in your decision, SCSA Back to top Emma ClareJoined: 24 May 2003Location: Anseong, sung, song. Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 11:02 am Post subject: Such a derisory tone.... Quote: Though, it is apparent that you did not appreciate the ramifications of the commitment that you were undertaking, you should not burden your employer when the responsibility for your actions rests with you. Austin: Hey! Don't be so damned sanctimonious! You have no idea why mandi100 wants to leave - there could be extremely justifiable reasons. It doesn't necessarily mean she can't cut it because she's just some silly little girl who's having a bit of a strop, as you are implying. Are you a robot perhaps? At least offer advice that is not only constructive, but also a little bit sympathetic. Mandi100: might help your cause a bit if you could elucidate upon your circumstances a little. Good luck, from a fellow Brit. Back to top AustinJoined: 23 May 2003Location: In the kitchen Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 1:31 pm Post subject: Come again... I am not certain where you get off calling me sanctimonious or critiquing my suggestion to Mandi. The last time I checked Mandi was asking for advice, not sympathy, as you put it. I merely made a suggestion of an alternative choice to what had been purposed by others in this forum. Let her decide for herself whether to use any of the free advice that has been given! As I stated before, why she wants to leave is irrelevant, because she is leaving, period. Moreover, it is her personal circumstance and decision, so I do not know why you would ask her to give further details. Did I miss something in my own post, or are you putting words in my mouth? Who said she can not cut anything or that she was a silly little girl? I most certainly did not. Again, I was merely offering up a way of solving her dilemma. How are you being helpful by calling me a robot, changing my words, or by asking her to give more information? The only person she has to answer to is herself.

We hear about the evils of directors breaking contracts everyday on this board, how awful they are to teachers. Yet we're now applauding a teacher as courageous for being the one to break a contract? Recruiters are used to get the schools name out, would you question the integrity of an American or Canadian business that used a head hunter? Recruiters, plane tickets, accomidations and a teachers salary represent an awful lot of capital for a small business to absorb. This doesn't include time wasted trying to hire a new teacher. Who's going to teach until the new teacher arrives? Let me guess, that's not your problem, right? Back to top hellofaniceguyJoined: 10 Jan 2003Location: On your computer screen! Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 2:37 pm Post subject: No one can use you unless YOU let them. Type up a letter outlining your reasons for leaving, dates, etc. and give it to the boss. Give a copy to immigration and the labor board. 30 days notice. Try and leave on good terms no matter what. What goes around comes around. Schools are burnt also by bad teachers. Two sides to every story. Expect the school to cheat you on your final pay. Maybe not. But expect it.Last edited by hellofaniceguy on Mon May 26, 2003 12:22 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top matthews_worldJoined: 15 Feb 2003 Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 2:46 pm Post subject: Re: Mandi...

I say listen to Austin if you plan on finding another job in the time that your visa is valid and if you want to want to not be blacklisted. I agree, work a few more weeks so that you can get the release letter. This will let you cancel your contract and have freedom to find a job elsewhere. If you want to leave and NOT come back, give your employer at least 3 weeks to find a replacement so they don't blacklist you and lose business at the same time.

Regarding the collecting of other items, that could be bad. I'm not saying you cannot buy anything other than Star Wars, but you should really be careful. Think about what your biggest love is, and collect those toys. For the other stuff, pick like 5 favorite figures or five favorites per company. Rotate them on display by your computer or something like that.
Pretty hard to do my friend when you were a hardcore fan of SW, Joes, and TF as a child of the 80's. Money is getting tight now on the collecting front no thanks to the Joe resurrection. I'm just glad I didn't feel impelled to go back in time and collect everything vintage as I did with TF's. Saved me a few bucks. I picked up some lame collections over the years that were not needed like Ren & Stimpy, Invader Zim, Fairly Odd Parents, Hellboy, etc. that I will sell off.
He did it because he was out of space. And the bottom line is that he didn't want to - I got the impression that he was regretting it as we sat at his dining room table picking through the stuff. I hope it worked out well for him, but I knew right then that I couldn't do it.
Something I see happening, whether it's Star Wars, McFarlane or otherwise is that the market is saturated. So very much to buy, all of it competing for $$$. Too many chase figures and too much of the stuff on store shelves being bought solely to resell. That's hard on collectors as a whole. Scott for example has all of his stuff loose that I've seen. Why should he struggle to get a clear Vision or chase Phoenix? They certainly aren't worth $50+ and he'll immediately kill most of the value by opening them. No, this is looking to me to be a whole lot like the card and comic scene of the late 80's/early 90's when the bottom fell out. Oh sure, new hot stuff will always come along and the market may regenerate itself, but it feels ready for a collapse.

Holy crap. Does that mean that Blizzard... even... reads this forum? Anyways, gratz Jaetch/Cantor.
Btw, I think almost everyone mistakes username/rank when they come here for the first time. The username should be on top of the avatar, the rank below.
And... seriously, what more does it take to get this thread stickied? Front page of New York Times? Breaking news on CNN?
Oh, but they do! Could be some CMs' first time though.
And who said it's not stickied?

Gavin DeGraw Hospitalized After Assault
Gavin DeGraw is recovering in a NYC hospital after he was assaulted early Monday morning (August 8), according to his reps.
The 34-year-old singer was "beaten by a pack of thugs" around 4:30 a.m. in Manhattan and then hit by a taxi as he stumbled away, according to the NY Post.
Gavin "was taken to the emergency room at Bellevue Hospital by ambulance. He is currently under observation," his reps said in a statement.
Police sources said Gavin, who has been on tour with Train and Maroon 5, suffered a broken nose and cuts on his face.

Roads Less Traveled and Faulty Maps
July 15, 2011, 07:03:49 PM »
"Friar V. asked me my religious views. My mother, I told him, belonged to a respectable cult, Christian Science, which I never had much respect for. My father was a former Baptist, but he lost his respect for that when his minister taught him to drink and play poker at summer camp.
Years later, when I was a child, my father was told he would be likelier to be promoted in the Army if he was churched, so he climbed his family tree and determined that, as a Scot, he ought to be Presbyterian. Unfortunately, the church he picked, for its brand, architecture and location, was of the sect that first defined the "fundamentals" in which a fundamentalist must believe. I summed up by telling Friar V. I became a Pentecostal in order to marry, and recently the local rabbi told me I am a Jew."
That short account, from
Cat'smeat Witnesses at
is what I tell Christians I respect when the issue is not germane to what we are doing. I do not add that my father came from a long line of quiet hypocrites*, free-thinkers, and soft-shell baptists who believed all God's chillin's get wings. I was given the choice between my mother's gnosticism, my Dad's Cartesianism, and striking out on my own. I chose my own path, and have gradually noticed I am in the desert, and all my maps are for England, Middle-Earth, or outer space. The desert is a nice place, once you realize you are not lost, and stop looking for the Buckingham Palace or the forest.
However, as anyone who has read any of my other posts knows, I am agnostic and polytheistic. Ancestry is not the sole determinant of religion, not even for someone who is barely Jewish enough to be killed by Hitler or make aliyah. But as long as people want to kill Jews, I claim to be an agnostic polytheistic Jew, since I have the right (unless I am taking to Jews, then I am an apicouros, Hebrew for materialist, from Epicurean.
And, Yeah, I know people want to kill Muslims, but I have no valid grounds for making the claim to be Muslim, and I wouldn't want to because Muslims [some of them] want to kill me, I am not a Zionist.)
The testimonial Forum seems to have been the place were Christians and ex-Christians were to give their accounts of their spiritual journeys and/or, for Christians to proclaim their proclaim their creed.
I qualify as an ex Christian, as a Christian atheist who believes Jesus is dead, and the very concept of God is wrong, as a Messianic Jew who believes Yeshua was the Messiah** (It did not work) and even as one who believes Rastafari is the Savior.
So, what follows*** are the accounts of what directions various monotheistic maps gave me, and where I wound up by following those. Keep in mind I was also following maps with Cartesian co-ordinates, and other fictional maps.
*According to the Devil's Dictionary, Hypocrisy is the religion of the majority of the human race.
**And, as Messiah, made King David look like a moral paragon. Yeshua sold out after he died and went into the wine making business, and got really bad when he got two partners and took over Rome.
YHWH, who had gotten really drunk after Job told him off and didn't even remember if he'd boffed Mary, finally swore off alcohol and went to Mecca to found AA. I think the Bible and Q'ran together are funnier than Dune, once you know the back stories.
***I will now start writing my Monotheistic dialogues.
What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

Part One: The Road to Rastafari and Monotheistic Maps
Chapter one: I learn to read with insatiable curiousity.
What follows are the accounts of what directions various monotheistic maps gave me, and where I wound up by following those. Keep in mind I was also following maps with Cartesian co-ordinates, and other fictional maps.
For example, when I was seven, in '66, the same year I was dragooned into Sunday school. I not only was told I was going to Hell for believing in Dinosaurs and learned about Aslan, my father introduced me to Sokrates, Descartes, and even a casual mention of Bishop Berkley. I had already learned of the Olympians and the Aesir, and shortly thereafter I discovered animism, then Buddhism, then Hinduism in the encyclopedia. (The most important fact of my existence is that I became addicted to reading when I was seven.)
At this point, a few things were obvious. First, Eve was the hero of Genesis, and the story was as good as, say, the Greek myths..
But, Noah's Flood was a crock of shit, and it would be wrong to believe these things were literally true.
That meant I was incapable of not going to hell, since I seemed to lack a talent for lieing to myself.
Therefore, I didn't have to pay attention to any of it, and was free to follow my already deep and profound Jungian relation with the Greek myths. (I already had meet the Sphinx, but that story must wait for a future chapter with Freud)
It was also obvious that, while pagan gods did require not belief of one the way this YHWH, Jesus, and Allah did, it would be hard to venerate them alone.
One other thing, at least, was obvious to young Tam (as my family called me). That was that, whatever else was going on, animism was correct, and everything I experienced was aware and interacted with me. Tam was also, coincidentally, one of the last people to see the orgone bands in the sky before they broke up. I remember that, and my brother Dogbite seeing them too, and telling Tam he had seen them breaking up in the last five years.
So those were the maps I started with.
Directions given to me by People reading Christian Maps, and my own readings of the map
1st Genesis 1 and 2, I gave this what I later learned was the gnostic meaning. Eve was the hero, YHWH was the villain, and the snake was a god in the box plot device. This may have been what created the impression I was a Satanist when I told the teacher Eve was right. They said I misread the map, it pointed the way to hell
2nd After his own intro to Christianity, my brother George was excited about Aslan, and successfully persuaded me to go back because there were people in the place who were actually worshiping him.
3rd Next week, the flood. I asked why there weren't any dinosaurs in the map. Weren't they killed in the Flood? I was told I was going to hell for believing there ever were dinosaurs.
4th After deciding it would be wrong to listen to those people, I asked my Dad if we had to go back. He said yes, his colonel had told him he wouldn't be promoted if he didn't go with his family to church,
That part of the map, at least, was accurate, but useless, as I had no intention of going there.
5th I told Dad of my experience so far, up to my anger at being told I was going to hell for being able to tell truth from lies.
My father apologized, and introduced me to philosophy. I asked him if he was a philosopher, and he told me no, he had wanted to be an anthropologist tho. He explained that to me, and suggested, since I had to go, be a good soldier, and think of myself as an anthropologist studying a hostile tribe, looking for useful intelligence.
6th My experience as an anthropologist an looking for intelligence.
Didn't find any.
7th DAD: "What did they tell you in Sunday school today?"
Thomas (Tam, by this point) "They told a really cool story about this guy who was a prince, but he started working working for civil rights, but that didn't work, so he became a terrorist and used biological warfare, and then he drowned an army that was chasing his people by blowing up a damn..."
MOM "Who told you that nonsense?"
Thomas "Mom, you should have heard it the way she told it."
8th Next week "how stupid is this guy? He was just told by GOD killing people is wrong!"
Teacher "They were Satanist"
Thomas "No, they weren't. They were worshiping a calf!"
Class "You're a Satanist!"
9th The first time I heard of the Neronian martyrs, I thought "Damn, what a role!"
I realized I would die to be on stage. This awoke a very intense interest in the theatre, masochistic sex fantasies, and a firm commitment to become a Christian if I thought it was likelier to get me killed than being an atheist.
I had already learned the delights of being beaten for witnessing against superstition
10th, Dad went to Nam, Mom went back to Christian Science. My brothers refused to join any cult so whacko when the army would still make us get shots (and George had allergies) I wasn't consulted.
But, in third grade, the teacher was reading a local story about a child of peons seeking a magical crucifix.
Finally, curiosity overcame me and I asked, "What is a crucifix?"
I heard the most amazing sound as every other child in the room gasped in horror. Before they could kill me, the teacher said "Wait a minute. He might not know what a crucifix is. He might be a Protestant. Are you a Protestant?"
By this point I was terrified, but I answered "What is a Protestant?"
The teacher looked like she wanted to let the class kill me. Instead she told me what a crucifix was, and finished the story.
I was now disgusted as well as terrified. When I got home, I confronted my mother and said, "I nearly got killed at school today for being a Protestant*! Are we Protestants?"
She replied, "We are Christian Scientists."
That sounded like the best news I had ever heard, "What do we believe?" I asked hopefully.
"We believe nothing is real but the thoughts of God."
As my hopes crashed around me. I realized here was another person whose opinions I did not need to listen to.
I spent the next ten years being known as the Satanist who lies about it and pretends there is no God, while in my heart I was a pagan.

Reviewed By Travis P (Gainesville, FL) Reviewed for a 2003 Honda Odyssey —4/14/2017 10:25 PM
Finally found a perfect solution for my Flat-coated Retriever why insists on sitting up on road trips to see if she's maybe hopefully going to "camp", which she loves. Problem was, she's a big ol' girl with (God forgive me) a little bit of junk in the trunk, so sitting up in the first row back seat area of our '03 Honda Odyssey was hard on her and laying down no better. This bed solved both probs brilliantly. Perfect fit, too!

It's the beginning of December, the traditional time for the ubiquitous and alliterative review article ("Top Ten Tech Trends of 2012!!!") that always seem to be slightly too enthusiastic for the pale, twitching, shadow of our former selves that we have become by the end of another crazy year. But even Scrooge (topical seasonal joke high five!) would agree that there is some merit in reflecting, especially when it comes to thinking about learning. So, drawing on the idea of contemplating the old to welcome in the new, I thought I'd try and kickstart 2013 by reflecting on this year's columns; a meta-column if you will (yep, I haven't got out much recently…)
So the last column of 2012 will be on professional development. Now wait. I'm envisaging half of you rolling your eyes because you now have 6,387 unread items in your Google Reader, and the other half of you laughing wryly about how you couldn't even come to the SALALM conference last year. For those of you in the first group, I'm going to be pretty blunt. I know that life is crazy, that the instruction requests keep piling in, there is another weeding project and you've been appointed to a new taskforce. BUT this is the single most important thing that we can do as librarians. Just 10 minutes a day of reading or sharing, or heck, even skimming headlines or your RSS reader. That's all it takes, I promise. For the second group, most of the ideas here are going to be free or low-cost, they just involve a bit of DIY savvy. Whichever group you're in, it's vital that we take time for our own lifelong learning. As John Naughton said, disruption is a feature, not a bug. That stable state of yesterday is never coming back, and lifelong learning is a way that we can enhance and adapt our personal and professional lives to meet whatever challenges are thrown at us.
In October I wrote about MOOCs and the role of librarians. The good news is that if there are hundreds of courses that you too can take for free. Some start on a specific date, others are more self-directed, but all offer traditional introductions to a broad range of topics. Looking to brush up on your Spanish? Try Spanish MOOC, starting in January. Carnegie Mellon offers French, MIT offers foreign language courses and there may be a Portuguese course too. What about literature and culture? Coursera offers Fiction of Relationship (featuring Borges!) and Listening to World Music, (featuring the Buena Vista Social Club!) among others. There are thousands of technology based courses, from Udacity's Intro to Statistics, to Udemy's classes on Facebook, Photoshop or Excel. Don't forget the education classes too- try E-learning and digital cultures or Fundamentals of Online Education. More Spanish universities are getting involved too, watch out for offerings from Alicante to La Rioja. There are also several courses out there if you want a more library focused professional development. CPD23 is a UK based initiative that aims to introduce librarians to web 2.0 tools. While the course has finished for 2012, you can still complete the modules at your own pace.
In June, I tried to reassure you about information overload, highlighting the need to rely more on friends and colleagues as recommender systems. This is known as your personal learning network (PLN), because we learn through forging connections and building networks between people and ideas. I won't mention my number 1 tool for doing this, because you all laugh at my obsession with my blue avian friend whose name begins with T, but it's a great way of meeting new people and encountering new ideas. Another option is Google communities, which brings us back to February's column on Google Plus. Yes, Google + still lags behind Facebook, but Team Google is stealthily making it even easier to follow interests, experts and more, all of which are super valuable for maintaining your PLN. Other tips? Take your time, use the tools that work for you, don't just follow people because everyone does, use the same username across different tools, share, comment and engage as well as lurking- and don't forget to challenge yourself to think outside your field, which can resemble an echo chamber at times.
Lastly, while I believe people are a key part of learning, productivity tools that help you keep track of literature and more keep getting easier to use. August's column on productivity tools may help you decide which tools to use, as does the CPD23 programme mentioned above. (so much hyperlinked win in this column!) Other tools I really like are Journal TOCS; (they've actually gathered hundreds of new journal issue feeds in one place!) and several new mobile apps such as SoundNote (it records audio as well as your notetaking or drawings!) and Zite or Flipboard (create magazines out of your RSS feeds!).
So, professional development. In 2013 it's all about the people, the free online courses, and the magic 10 minutes a day. I did fail to work April's column about Impact Factors in. And there were quite a few exclamation marks. Nonetheless, I didn't try and make some random and arbitrary predictions for 2013, another feature of end of year articles, so count yourself lucky 🙂 Happy Holidays!

Qt exists because of the dual license business (screwing over freedom).
GTK exists because a free toolkit wih a suitable API and focus on the linux desktop is needed.
BTW I suggest you go read LWN, they have a real nice featured article about CA and how stupid it is. And yes suggesting other free software users and developers to go sign such shitty anti-freedom contracts is just RUDE. Whats next? Do you recommend to go buy a device with IOS?
Or are you dreaming the "Kubuntu crack pipe dream"of a Qt-future where all Canonical apps are running on top? Let me summarize that for you;
Canonical App(CA)
Whatever kernel(Whatever commercial Qt focuses on)
That would be a so-called free software world where everything could be closed source by the command of a few business men. Grow some balls and a spine.

It is possible that the main title of the report Retinopathy of Prematurity is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding disease affecting the retinas in premature infants. The retinas are the light-sensitive linings of the insides of the eyes. In infants born prematurely, the blood vessels that supply the retinas are not yet completely developed. Although blood vessel growth continues after birth, these vessels may develop in an abnormal, disorganized pattern, known as ROP. In some affected infants, the changes associated with ROP spontaneously subside. However, in others, ROP may lead to bleeding, scarring of the retina, retinal detachment and visual loss. Even in cases in which ROP changes cease or regress spontaneously, affected children may have an increased risk of certain eye (ocular) abnormalities, including nearsightedness, misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), and/or future retinal detachment. The two major risk factors for ROP are a low birth weight and premature delivery.

With his self-imposed deadline of June 30 behind him, developer Michael Posillico went before the Hempstead Town Board on July 9, asking it to fast-track a development proposal for Island Park that would bring a mix of condominiums and rental units to the community.
Posillico was joined in his plea by Glenn Ingoglia, the president of the Island Park Chamber of Commerce. "How important would it be to send a message that Island Park is back?" Posillico asked the board.
"We ask to get this [development plan] before the board as soon as possible, to give Island Park a priority," Ingoglia said. "We need people to patronize our businesses or they might not last."
Posillico, in partnership with the Virginia-based Avalon Bay Communities, plans to build a development called the Battery at Harbor Isle & Avalon Yacht View in the southern corner of Harbor Isle, a community in Island Park. The $90 million project would include 140 rental apartments and 32 condominiums, and most of the condos having top-end amenities such as boat slips.
The Town of Hempstead, however, has a covenant on the books that limits the number of rental units in any new development to 10 percent of the total number of units to be built. The covenant, if it is not lifted by the town, would restrict the partners to building fewer than 20 rental units, something that Posillico considers to be not economically feasible in the current housing market.
Both he and Avalon, which has a number of other similar developments in Nassau County, have asked the town to lift the covenant.
Posillico had previously given the board a deadline — the end of June — at which he and his partner would walk away from the project if the town had not lifted the covenant. He said that the deadline was necessary because of constraints placed on him by the state's Brownfield Cleanup Program. The 11-acre site, which formerly hosted the Cibro oil transfer station, has been vacant for more than a decade and is part of the cleanup program, which was set up to remediate toxic waste sites such as Cibro.

Dirk van der Heijden needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 11 designs submitted by 1 freelance designers.
Gemzies.com is a 'stealth' startup, allowing experts around the world to bookmark quality content (sites, videos, photos, books) centered around a single topic. For our planned beta release, we received a 'crisp & clean' redesign of our Alpha-site (attached). However, the designer is 'stuck' - we need to have this redesign properly translated towards the homepage, the entry page and the news page.
Gemzies.com is a 'live' site, currently in Alpha phase. The current design is a bit too 'gloomy', and not in line with the current 2.0 'standards' (clean, white, crisp pages). We did receive a nice redesign for some key pages (see barack obama or videos), but our designer seems to be 'stuck' when translating this design towards 3 other key page types: the homepage, the entry page, and the news page. This part of the job is pretty straightforward, but we need a 'fresh new pair of eyes' to get it done. Next, on the news page, we also need a new type of interaction design, that allows our users to 'post and comment' on news items (similarly to e.g. Digg). We want our 'experts' to 'stand out' next to news items they've posted. The news item should be displayed, including a small 'comment/blog' section, showing the comment of the user on this news item. We are open to your suggestions!
- New design (psd file) for homepage Gemzies.com, based on current 'overview.jpg' and other files sent
- New design (psd file) for 'entry page' Gemzies.com
- New design (psd file) for 'news page' Gemzies.com - based on the new wireframe
- SInce we've started development of the beta release based on the (good) design we've received, we cannot afford 'out of the box' designs. Your work should be based on the new designs attached to this briefing!

STOCKTON - "It's not difficult with family. We take care of ourselves, we take care of each other."
STOCKTON - "It's not difficult with family. We take care of ourselves, we take care of each other."
Ofelia Solares, 39, stood outside the Stockton Health Clinic, 1601 E. Hazelton Ave., last week and, speaking in Spanish, offered her prescription for raising a family of healthy children.
Eat right. Get your immunizations. Stay clear of dangerous places. Make it to doctor appointments. Trust your family for care.
Her list was simple - and outlined with conviction.
Solares stands in contrast to what researchers have discovered is the more typical central Stockton upbringing.
Crippling poverty. Violent neighborhoods. Academic failure and a high rate of truancy. Sexually transmitted disease. Obesity and ancillary diseases such as childhood diabetes. A high rate of infant mortality.
A study last summer by Stockton-based San Joaquin Community Data Co-Op, in partnership with several other agencies, collected some disturbing statistics about the health of children.
The information clearly separates Stockton's problems from the rest of San Joaquin County, and it delineates pockets of Stockton from the rest of the city.
"This research is about our most vulnerable population," said Campbell "Cam" Bullock, director of the Co-Op. "and about what we can do to help by showcasing this data."
Some key, but not necessarily surprising, findings about Stockton:
� Unemployment, poverty and single-parent households are higher than in the rest of the county.
� Nearly 60 percent of all teen births are to Latino teenagers.
� Thirteen percent of childhood deaths are due to homicide.
� Two census tracts in central Stockton have much higher rates of poverty, low academic achievement, teen birth rates and sexually transmitted diseases.
Bullock's team at the Oak Street research office also came up with several starting points for solutions. They weren't surprising either. The ideas centered on health care, system change, public safety, community and family involvement and opportunities for young people.
"The good news is there is an array of agencies and nonprofit groups battling to improve these health indicators," Bullock said.
"These issues need to be addressed, not just seeing and understanding ... for real change over time, there needs to be an action-based plan."
Bullock admitted various health care professionals are frustrated at times, "but I've not heard a lot of discouragement."
Dr. Karen Furst is the county public-health officer. She and her staff are on the front lines of trying to prevent disease and promote good health.
"One thing this report shows is that the health of individuals is influenced by many different things in addition to their own biology or genes or behavior," Furst said. "The environment, government policies and their physical world can come together to impact their health."
Solares, who lives off March Lane, was upbeat about the healthy choices of her family.
Standing alongside her 20-year-old son Jose Solares and six-month-old granddaughter Jelsey Zermeno, she said, "We are teaching one another in the family way, the way we are."
Sometimes that means tag-team health care for the new baby.
A day earlier, her daughter Jannate Zermeno had family transportation duties and brought Zelsey to the clinic for immunization shots. Prevention is another part of the family creed.
"My mother's grandmother told her to eat good, take your calcium, take your children to regular doctor appointments," said Jose Solares, still interpreting. "Now my mother is teaching my sister (Jannate) and me."
If the extended Solares' family stands in contrast to the children's health indicators study, so does the recent proliferation of charter schools in downtown Stockton.
In once-depressed blocks of the city's core, classrooms, school cafeterias and playgrounds have emerged. Children are playing and exercising in core neighborhoods that have been identified as the county's least healthy for children.
And that alone is reason to celebrate, Furst believes.
"Now they've got a safe place to play. Their health is going to improve with increase physical activity. That's exactly what we're trying to work on - and the point."

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus (ryns PREE'-bus) says a traffic jam scandal won't disqualify New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie from running for president.
Appearing Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Priebus says Republican primary voters could move past the scandal that has ensnared the administration as polls show Christie as a top contender in 2016.
Priebus says: "America's a forgiving people."
He says Christie demonstrated leadership by holding a lengthy news conference Thursday to apologize for his staff's behavior.
The chairman says, "We all make mistakes." He says, "The real question is: What do you do when mistakes happen?"
Christie fired the top aide who gave the go-ahead to shut down lanes to the George Washington Bridge and cut ties with one of his top campaign advisers.

Bedford council ponders fee breaks for nonprofits
BEDFORD - As budgets face continued streamlining, the town will address the waiving of permit fees for nonprofit organizations.
Pool permitting fees and fees for food licensing have been waived by other town managers for nonprofit organizations Camp Allen and the Boys and Girls Club of Manchester, and the town has received requests to do the same for the 2013 summer season, and received a verbal request from the Caregivers of Bedford.
At the Council's Feb. 13 meeting, Town Manager Jessie Levine asked members to discuss how they want to handle such requests.
"My recommendation is that we deny the requests in the absence of a policy or a provision that allows us to broadly honor them in some way," Levine said, but he suggested that councilors be consistent in deciding which fees are waived for which organization.
In the 2011 and 2012 budgets, town funding was cut for the Meals on Wheels program, with the council indicating that they should not be choosing on behalf of residents which charitable organizations receive support.
"This has nothing to do with the value or the purpose and quality of the organizations that issued the request," Levine said, but noted that there should be a larger discussion by the council.
Councilor Ken Peterson said budget discussions in past years have brought up the issue of town funds being used to support nonprofits, and that there are thousands of good nonprofit organizations in existence.
"But it's not our right to be allocating taxpayer taxes to charitable organizations," he said.
In a phone interview, Levine said the council is grappling with whether to waive the fees, which total about $800.
"You feel like the Grinch," she said. "It's an uncomfortable position to be in."
Levine pointed out that the organizations in question already receive an exemption for property taxes.
"They're already receiving a significant contribution from the town because they're tax-exempt," she said.
Town Council Chairman Bill Dermody said at the meeting that he didn't think the fee waiver is the same as including funding nonprofits in the town budget, and asked Levine to draft a policy to address the issue of fee waivers that will be discussed at the council's next meeting.

Motorcycle safety statistics are pretty grim. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that fatal crashes occur at a rate of about 72 per 100,000, compared to 13 out of 100,000 for cars. And when helmet laws were repealed in some states, motorcycle deaths skyrocketed from 2,897 in 2000 to 5,154 in 2007, a 78% increase.
How can you protect yourself? Here are the options to make your life on two wheels safer.
There is an amazing array of motorcycle gear on the market designed to protect your body from head to toe. Invest in a chest and back plate to protect your vital organs, knee and elbow protectors to cover the pointy parts most likely to hit the pavement first, boots and gloves to protect your extremities. There are other options, like neck collars and leg protectors, but those are the basics, especially necessary for motocross riders.
In addition to being a ruthlessly cool iconic fashion statement, a motorcycle jacket protects you against the wind, stinging sand particles and road grit, the elements, bugs, and other things that commonly fly at your body while you're riding. At high speeds, a tiny chunk of gravel thrown off a truck wheel can ruin your whole day if your chest isn't covered. Invest in some serious protection with a high-tech heavy leather jacket reinforced with carbon-fiber supports and molecular armor. They are flexible and stylish, and at the same time offer outstanding protection without the armadillo impression.
Whether or not you are required to by law, you should. The statistics are clear. When you wear a helmet, you reduce the risk of killing yourself in a crash by 37%. Aside from death, head injuries are more serious and costly than other injuries. Wearing a helmet as part of your motorcycle gear is a no-brainer.
Obvious? Yes. But how many times do you see motorcycles zipping around stalled traffic, or worse, moving traffic? When automobile drivers don't see you coming from behind, it can be fatal. Reckless motorcycle driving is both common and dangerous. It's your responsibility to ride safely.

Brawn, capacity and endurance make all the difference.
By David Thiel
Pages: 80-85
Is gaining 2″ of planing width capacity worth an extra $300 to $1,000? Nope. So if that's the reason why you're considering buying a 15″ planer, borrow a friend's instead.
The real reason to buy a 15″ planer is the motor. Well, yes the extra capacity is nice, and the weight and sturdiness of the planer is a plus. But it's the 3-hp, 220-volt induction motor that makes these machines something to lust after.
While testing benchtop planers in an earlier issue we quickly noticed the significant strain put on the 110-volt universal motors by running a wide board. The 13″ capacity on those planers is coming close to asking too much of the high-speed, short-duration design of universal motors. So while I won't say never, I will say it's unlikely you'll ever see a 15″ planer powered by a universal motor.
On 15″ planers, the motor can run for hours (under load running anything from pine to figured maple) with nearly insignificant drops in speed. These planers are designed for the woodworker who has occasion to run 300 board feet (or more) of hard wood a few times a month.

A cocoon of a coat - Burda 102 10/2012
Added Oct 16, 2012
by DottieDoodle
Cullompton, Unit...
I made a coat! In a day!
No lining or bound buttonhole loveliness here I'm afraid, but a very warm and (I think) stylish winter jacket.
The pattern is number 102 from the current Burda magazine (10/2012) and I used some wool boucle. The pieces fitted together beautifully and I had no problems with the pattern at all.
It's so quick because there is no seam finishing or hemming. Coat or sleeves too long? Just cut a bit off!
Two Burda tracing tips I've picked up which helped – I went over the pattern lines with a marker before tracing, and used a Post-it to mark my place in the instructions.
I love the collar, it feels very glamorous, and doubling the thick fabric around the top makes it extremely warm. It was only around 9 degrees while we were taking the photos, but I got too hot.
I used one very large popper to fasten the collar, instead of the three suggested.

Stunning! The coat was already on my list, but I'm still looking for a fabric. I love the duffle mohair with long hair that is used in the magazine, but up till now I could not find such a fabric. But now I see your version with the wool boucle, I might give up my search for the mohair! Nice job!

Beautiful! I can't tell you how jealous I am. I have been wanting to make something out of wool boucle for a long time. Your coat looks so good I'm going to make it too. Thanks for sharing.

This coat is definitely on my list, although it hardly ever gets cold enough for it where I live. I'm so glad to see your version (inspiring purple!) and to hear that the pattern works well. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Lucky you, being warm. It would be great in a lighter fabric too.

Kidney Diseases
Can Kidney Transplant Recipients Have Sickle Cell Anemia?
Can a sickle cell anemia patient have a kidney transplant?
Yes, patients with sickle cell anemia can receive a kidney transplant but the outcomes are not as good as for other patients, especially because the incidence and severity of sickle crises tend to increase following transplantation. There is also a high rate of morbidity and mortality due to infection. Some centers are performing kidney transplantation only after bone marrow transplantation in an effort to eliminate the sickle cells, but this strategy is considered experimental.
