What is the difference between crystal and glass?

And does it make a difference in usage, or is crystal just more decorative?

Lead content and price. Glass has gotten so good you can barely tell the difference except when you make it vibrate and listen to the sound it makes.

Haig’s Dimple Scoth Whisky?

I have a bottle of haig’s, i am trying to find out if it has any value. The box has drawings of a golfer,men in tophats ring horses, polo players and cricketers, and on the front of the box a scotsman looking over his shoulder charging his glass. The lables say, distilled in scotland in the united kingdom under goverment supervision, net contents 1 pint 6 fl. ozs. on the bottom of the bottle i can make out haigs with 17 above the g, and what i think is U G B . i believe it to be around 60 to 65 years old.it was given to us a wedding gift. anyone got a clue? maybe i should e-mail haigs. Would it still be drinkable? it is still perfectly sealed.

Well , all I could suggest is after drinking a few of those then you would be SOMEWHERE ELSE , as it is, would be better left alone and mature some more but as far as the bottle being of value , as before, leave it for an experts’ opinion, sounds very decorative though . . . hope I have helped .

The Looking Glass: A Novel (The Locket Series) $1.90 When I started to write The Looking Glass, I intended to create a story about the healing power of hope and love.

The Looking Glass is aptly named, for it is about seeing the reality of ourselves: …

The Traditions of Indian Painting in the World

The traditions of Indian painting go back many centuries and can be seen in the cave murals of Ajanta, the Buddhist palm leaf manuscripts, and the Kangra schools of miniature Indian painting. Indian painting was a common practice within many households who would paint their walls and doors with exquisite natural scenes. Indian paintings are rich in color. They are bold and vibrant, yet refined and sophisticated. There is an aesthetic pleasure that can be found in modern day art and the art of civilizations of the past. From the beginning of time Indian Art has been steeped in the religions of the Indian culture. Over the years various traditions have merged to form a compelling modern art form that still is rich in cultural and religious traditions of the Indian people.

Miniature paintings have a long history in India. At first glance these small paintings would seem to be nothing more than a clutter of masculine and feminine figures. Yet there is so much more to these miniatures. They are actually an expression of the basic movements of Indian dance. They are emotional creations that depict the musical modes of classical music in India, and they date back to medieval times Color is an important element to Indian art and various techniques are used to produce the most intricate designs that are so exquisite. The themes of much of their work are based on Kings and other rulers of their country and the Gods and Goddesses of their religion.

Thanka Painting revolve around Buddha and ritual works. In these works the dragons dominate both in flow and form. It dates back to the 10th century and became a popular form when Buddhism began to spread beyond Tibet. Glass painting dates back to the 16th century were they were first used to adorn places of worship. Using semi precious stones, gold leaf, and gilt metals they were able to produce some of the most magnificent glass paintings known to man. Kalamkari is another popular Indian technique which uses burnt tamarind twigs dipped in molasses and iron fillings to create the outline. Then varying shades of vegetable dyes are used to paint the scenes. Many works of Kalamkari are based on mythological themes with figures that are larger than life.

The Phad Painting was a traditional line of painting done by families of Phad painters from the Bhiwara regions. The outlines were done in block and then filled with color. Their works depicted historic tales of Rajput Chieftains. The family of the Jagganath Temple of Puri were known for their Pata Chitra painters who produced beautiful scroll paintings as well as fine works of art on cotton or tussar. Their work uses vibrant colors and is very distinctive. There are only a few Pata Chitra painters left. Ivory painting involved the most delicate of brush strokes to create the human figure on the ivory. Images were generally of a Mughal Emperor and the art form first came to be in the 18th century. The Madhubani paintings are a Bihar specialty. Modern Indian paintings use materials from around the world but they remain entrenched in expressing the Indian culture and experiences. The ability to combine tradition with modern has produced some amazing works of art.

3 Elements Of Moroccan Lamp Designs

Moroccan lamps are very distinctive in their colors and styles. If you are planning on decorating in Moroccan style, adding a few of these lanterns, lamps or chandeliers will do a great job of bringing it all together to create an authentic Moroccan atmosphere.

Home lighting is one of the most important aspects of decorating and Moroccan lamps are incredibly versatile. Whether you prefer large lamps and lanterns that sit in corners or smaller lamps for decorating table tops, night stands and end tables, there is a Moroccan lamp design to suit your taste. If you want to add something special to your room, you cannot go wrong with decorative Moroccan lamps.

Moroccan decorating is about color, texture and design. Moroccan furniture, rugs and accessories are known for their vibrant colors and designs. Lighting is no different. Moroccan lamps and lanterns are not just “pretty lights” — they are as individual as you can get.

1. Color in Moroccan Lamp Design

Vibrant colors of the earth and sky are the stand-out colors of Moroccan decorating. Lamps are usually made of colored glass or are painted with henna for artistic design. Blues, yellows, reds, oranges and greens all compliment each other in Moroccan decoration. Moroccan lamps could be either one color while others are made with individual pieces of stained glass in a rainbow of colors. As with other elements of this design, the contrasting colors add a depth and interest.

2. Texture in Moroccan Lamp Design

Artisans and artists handcraft the lights with various metals, skins or glass. Filigree, colored glass, sheepskin, goatskin, brass, wrought iron and antiqued metal make up many of these exquisite lampshades and lamps. You will find lamps with strings of beads as their shades. Beaded lampshades add a whole new dimension to a home decorating project.

3. Design in Moroccan Lamp Design

Moroccan lamps are made in various shapes. You can find curved lamps that resemble the flame of a candle range from a few inches high to several feet tall. You can also find huge lanterns that sit on patios or in corners of the home. These lanterns are made of metal and glass or may be all metal with intricate designs including small spaces for light to shine through. The result is spectacular! There are also round lamps and half moon lamps among the various designs of Moroccan lamps. Sometimes colored glass is used but many times sheep’s or goat’s skins are stretched over the metal and skilled artists paint designs on them with henna. The way in which beads are used can be varied to make up several types of beaded design — again making for uniqueness in each individual lamp.

Each Moroccan lamp is a new wonder for the eyes. Even those Lamps that are made to suit matched sets are different enough to be individual in and of themselves. These lamps have been handmade by artisans and artists for hundreds of years. With the variety of Moroccan designs, it is pleasantly surprising how it all fits together beautifully. The impressive color tones of Moroccan lamps combined with creative design make for a warm and attractive interior in any home. If you are looking for unique, handcrafted originals you cannot go wrong in choosing Moroccan lamps.

Sometimes it can be difficult to correctly interpret your glasses prescription so that you can transcribe it to buy glasses online.

It is not (necessarily) because they are trying to make it difficult for you to buy glasses online, it is usually because there are several different ways for the glasses prescription to be written.

When you first look at your spectacles prescription, there will be a series of numbers and/or dashes under the box headings of OS and OD. These are Latin abbreviations for the left eye (OS) and the right eye (OD) – further confusing I know because these abbreviation stand for something that you are unlikely to hear in normal conversation – Oculus sinister and Oculus dextrus.

There is another metric which is sometimes included which applies to both eyes – which is “OU”.

The easiest way to think of the values on your glasses prescription is to look at it and the further from zero that the value is (regardless of sign) is proportional to how your eyes perform relative to perfect vision. If the value is preceded by a plus sign, so that you have a positive deviation – then you are long-sighted (or sometimes referred to as long-sighted). If the value is preceded by a minus or negatve sign (sometimes written as a bar over the top of the number or value) then you are short-sighted (or near sighted).

The values themselves are a measure in “diopters” which is a unit of measure used by opticians to indicate quantative correction necessary for the lens to correct your vision for your glasses. The value may often have a “D” next to it to indicate that this is the value system being used for the spectacles or lens prescription.

In people, the total optical power of the eye at rest is approximately 60 diopters.

This is made up by the cornea accounting for about 40 diopters and the lens of the eye itself for the balance. When the eye attempts to focus on an object, the lens in the eye is torsioned b ythe cilliary muscle which changes the shape of the lens to increase the optical power or the ability of the lens to focus. This process is governed by the cilliary muscle through ligamnets attached to the lens.

Like most things, as you get older, these muscles lose some of their strength or ability to changethe shape of the lens – and hence the eys lose some of their strength to focus – particularly at the extremes.

Children (or young adults) have the ability to to change the power by about 20 diopters, which then decreases as we get older to low single digits at age 50 or so.

Convex lenses are used by opticians in glasses to correct far-sight or to allow people to focus more easily on objects that are close (usually for reading). These lenses have a positive value in diopters.

Concave glasses or lenses have a negative value and correct for short-sight or improve the ability of the eye to focus at long(er) ranges. A common range for these values is plus or minus three. Lenses are usually available from stock at opticians or glazing labs in 0..25 steps so that most peoples’ prescription can be accommodated. have positive dioptric value and are generally used to correct hyperopia (farsightedness) or to allow people with presbyopia (the limited accommodation of advancing age) to read at close r range.

Concave lenses have negative dioptric value and generally correct myopia (nearsightedness).

Typical glasses for mild myopia will have a power of −1.00 to −3.00 dioptres, while over the counter reading glasses will be rated at +1.00 to +3.00 dioptres. Optometrists usually measure refractive error using lenses graded in steps of 0.25 dioptres.

Sometimes there are three numbers in the glasses prescription – the third being used to define astigmatism. These numbers then are usually written as S x C x Axis.

Astigmatism is essentially a measure of refractive error and is quite common – resulting in an inability to see fine detail – but is easily corrected with the proper prescription to amend the degree of radial curvature across the lens.

The S refers to the “spherical” portion of the prescription, which is the degree of short or long sight – or the amount of correction required by the lens.

The C refers to the “cylinder” or astigmatism, and can be a negative or a positive number.

It refers to the amount of astigmatism you may have and is also measured in diopters.

The Axis is a number anywhere between 0 and 180 degrees. It defines and measures the vector of astigmatism – or the orientation of it across the lens. This is a complicating factor in manufacture of the lens, as it is necessary but not sufficient know how much correction is required – you also need to know how that correction should be placed across the curvature of the lens.

Here are two examples of what prescriptions for glasses or lenses to correct sight with astigmatism could look like:

-1.50 +1.25 x 180 +3.00 +2.00 x 45

The first prescription means that the person has 1.5 diopters of nearsightedness with 1.25 diopters of astigmatism. and an axis of 180 degrees.

The second prescription means that the person has 3.0 diopters of farsightedness, 2 diopters of astigmatism and an axis of 45 degrees.

Why are my pix now thumbnails?

I used to scan my photos, and then saved them in my pic album. For some reason, about a week ago, after scanning them, (the same size pix) and saving to the same album, they now show up as thumbnails. I’ve contacted my scanner manufacturer, and reinstalled the entire program. I don’t think it’s my scanner, but rather Windows application that’s opening it. I’ve tried, PhotoShop, Paint, Paperport, etc. and I can resize the photo to normal size using them, but if I try to save it like that, (the normal size) they still show up small??? There must be someway to restore the original settings, so I don’t need a magnifying glass to view them……HELP!

Hi there!

Are you saying that whenever you save a photo from ANY program it is saving as a thumbnail? are you saving them as jpgs or something else? What operating system are you using and what scanner? Are they only showing up like that in you album? Is it a Yahoo album or something else?
