1. Masks
   Harder - Masks are worn to protect or disguise the face. Most masks worn to disguise are in the form of an animal or another person. Protective masks serve a specific purpose. For example, a welder wears a steel mask with a special lens to shield their eyes from the intense light produced by welding. Disguise masks include ceremonial masks, theatrical masks, burial and death masks, and festival masks.
2. The Mask -- Face
   The coolest news of the day - a trailer description: "We see a man slip on a strange looking gas mask. Very German/Nazi WW2 looking for the design of the mask. Probably the Scarecrow. A black screen, Batman standing on top of a building then jumping falling down towards the screen. Flashes of a fast moving train, What looks like a huge black tank and a helicopter and police cars. A few more flashes of some fast paced car action...Bale's eyes appear over the skyline, Which fades into Bale's face in the Batman mask" .
3. Masks -- Forms
   It is safe to assume that the evolution of masks associated with noh and kyogen followed a similar path. A tradition that grew out of sargaku is okinamai and it is still part of the noh performance repertory called Shikisaban. The masks used in okinamai exhibit the first signs of the formation of the noh mask. It is evident that these masks which evolved from the foreign influenced gigaku and bugaku masks had been transformed into a uniquely Japanese design. Four types of masks are used in okinamai, three of which have a detached lower jaw which is fastened to the upper portion with silk cords. Those three are Okina, Sanbaso, and Chichinojo.
4. The Mask -- Miscellaneous
   If you want to carry the mask, just cut holes for the eyes and then glue the mask to a paint stir stick or strip of balsa wood so that you can hold it in front of your face. This is a good option for greeting trick-or-treaters because you don't have to wear it around the house all evening.
5. Gas Chamber -- Gas Chambers
   While serving a burglary term at San Quentin, Wells helped install the new gas chamber. He explained its workings to the other inmates, vowing, "That's the closest I ever want to come to the gas chamber." After he was paroled, Wells got into trouble again. When his family objected to an affair he was having with his half-sister, Violet, he killed his half-brother, the brother's wife and another woman in San Bernardino. Short, deformed, slender and slowed by a limp, Wells took off and became in 1941 the target of the biggest manhunt in Southern California to that time. A posse of more than 1,000 men scoured the desert between San Bernardino and Las Vegas for the man headlines called the notorious "Hunchback Killer."
6. Mustard Gas -- Blisters
   "Mustard gas" is a common term which may refer to either of two mustard agents, sulphur mustard (Yperite) or nitrogen mustard. Lewisite, an organic compound containing arsenic, is another mustard agent. As gases, these agents appear yellow-brown in color and smell like mustard, garlic, or horseradish. In pure form at room temperature, though, they are thick and almost odorless liquids. Each of these chemicals produces blisters on contact.
7. Mustard Gas -- Skin
   Mustard gas is a strong vesicant (blister-causing agent). Due to its alkylating properties, it is ... strongly mutagenic (causing damage to the DNA of exposed cells) and carcinogenic (cancer causing). Those exposed usually suffer no immediate symptoms. Within 4 to 24 hours the exposure develops into deep, itching or burning blisters wherever the mustard contacted the skin; the eyes (if exposed) become sore and the eyelids swollen, possibly leading to conjunctivitis and blindness. According to the Medical Management of Chemical Casualties handbook, there have been experimental cases in humans where the patient has suffered miosis, or pinpointing of pupils, as a result of the cholinomimetic activity of mustard. At very high concentrations, if inhaled, it causes bleeding and blistering within the respiratory system, damaging the mucous membrane and causing pulmonary edema.
8. Gas Chamber -- Doors
   French anti-Revisionist researcher Jean-Claude Pressac reports on this door in his 563-page book, Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers (published in 1989 by "Nazi hunters" Serge and Beate Klarsfeld). He provides a photograph of the building in the Majdanek camp, including the door from which the Holocaust Museum casting was made.
9. Pipes -- Washington Gas
   WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. General Services Administration National Capital Region (GSA/NCR) announced today that it will insulate steam pipes below the Ellipse, south of the White House, beginning tomorrow. GSA is performing this maintenance to reduce energy costs and to restore grass that is scorched from heat escaping from the pipes. Project completion is scheduled for October 2002. Contractors, wearing protective clothing and masks, will insulate the expansion vaults with material composed of Calcium Carbonate particles, which are chemically modified to repel water and moisture. It is non-toxic and environmentally safe. The steam pipes will be insulated by a foam-like material that forms a seal around them.
