A word from Mama Ayesha's
Founded by Ayesha Abraham, Mama Ayesha's opened for business in 1960. We are a family owned and operated restaurant serving authentic Arabic cuisine. Enjoy a fresh fattoush salad, some hummus, or some falafel to open you appetite. Main dishes include lamb, chicken, and beef dishes cooked over our
charcoal grill. Or try one of our stuffed specialties such as our stuffed yellow squash or grape leaves. Plenty of vegetarian as well as vegan options also available. With dishes prepared daily from scratch you can be sure you're getting the closest thing to home cooking. We are glad to be moving forward into our 5th decade of serving the Washington, DC area. Many of our guests can tell you that when you're here at Mama Ayesha's, you're family!

Sampled several dishes. All
delicious. Stuffed squash was excellent. Perfect place for a relaxing meal. Low key dining in a beautiful setting."

great food--- all delicious.
unique decor, quiet atmosphere."

The best Middle Eastern food I've
ever had. Beautiful ambiance. They deserve more business!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
Excellent! I have been meaning to
stop in here ever since the blizzard of '09. It took 5 years, but i made it in tonight. The wait was well worth it! I truly should have come in much sooner. Everything was perfect; from the service to the food to crowd. I not only recommend you go, i URGE you to go. Just bring your appetite.."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Having sampled the middle eastern
options around this area I would certainly say Mamas is better then most. The staff was very friendly. Good food options (we ate with a friend who has a gluten allergy). The staple dishes were good (hummos, baba ganoush, stuffed grape leaves). Their lamb and whole chicken dishes made the night. Fall off the bone meat, great flavors! A solid choice for big parties."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Mama Ayesha's combines the best of
tradition with chic urban environment. The decor is sultry and lends itself to a girl/guy night out as well as a romantic evening. The staff does an exceptional job of working with special requests as well as provides prompt service."
Dined on 2/20/2014
$16 for a plate of rice? This is
one of the more expensive Middle Eastern restaurants in the area and I can't see why. I can get better food with more options at half the price...delivered. No wonder the place was empty."
Dined on 2/2/2014
The wait staff was great at
recommending different dishes to try. They ere very friendly and attentive, and we loved trying new foods. The place was hopping with lively groups, energetic conversation and happy customers. We included ourselves in that category."
Dined on 3/23/2013
the food was great and the staff
was attentive! the restaurant was a bit empty, but may have been because it was a weekday and unusually cold out!"

This was the perfect place for a
group of 8 to relax after a long day at a local conference. The food was wonderful and the staff was very attentive."
Dined on 1/14/2014
I go to this restaurant regularly
as it is one of my favorites in the neighborhood. My sister and her family were visiting and we had dinner there, with three-year-old twins, on a Thursday night. Restaurant staff was very friendly, even to the children, and the food, as usual, was very good."
Dined on 1/9/2014
We took friends from New York for
lunch. They thought the food was delicious. Our server was charming."
Dined on 12/8/2013
The chicken tauk was very spicy
and dry. The humus was just OK. The baklava had an after taste and was also dry."
Dined on 12/4/2013
This was our second visit, having
found a place that does lamb well for me and does a good vegan dish for my wife. We had a good experience and tasted wine from the Mideast. The evening was unremarkable until we received the check that included a $3.50 charge for extra cheese. The menu stated the charge as $1.50. The server pointed out that the $1.50 was for another type of salad, not the one we shared. After some back and forth, the bill was changed to reflect the $1.50 price. As experienced dinners, we were surprised at the time it took to resolve this very minor issue. A more customer friendly approach would have been to write off the $3.50 charge completely."
Dined on 11/30/2013
Same good food, nice ambiance. For
those who used to go when Mama was alive, her children have spruced up the place. The food is good, not excellent, but the ambiance and neighborhood feel make it a great place to take family and groups."
Dined on 11/23/2013
delicious food. attentive staff.
fast service. nice interior decor and atmosphere. overall very pleasant experience."
Dined on 11/16/2013
I made a reservation on Open Table
for 8 PM. We were not seated until 8:35. The vibe right up at the bar was fine and entertaining enough for that 35 minute wait, but once we got to our seats, it was clear that they were understaffed for the night and one server was taking care of one entire area. Therefore, it took us a while to order our appetizers and main courses. We heard that the Mama's Secret Spices was the way to go with the main courses, so we ordered the Kafta Kebab with that in it only to find that the Secret Spices are actually quite SPICY (as opposed to flavorful). The appetizers were all good, except for the baba ganoush, which was a little disappointing. The hummos with lahmeh, labneh, and fried eggplant were all tasty."
Dined on 11/16/2013
I love Mama Ayesha's! Love it so
much I try to go every time I'm in DC for business. I love the food, ambience and service. The food is SO well prepared and flavorful. You won't regret it."
Dined on 11/16/2013
Upon arrival at the restaurant the
door was locked. We were about to leave when the neighboring business owner said it should be open. I called and told them to unlock their door...they did. Food and service were great. But the decore is very worn and needs to be refreshed."
Dined on 8/3/2013
I go to Mama Ayesha's fairly
regularly because I like the food a lot and, most of the time, the service is friendly and efficient. This time a friend and I went on a Friday night (we usually go earlier in the week) and, while the food was very good, the service could have been better. My request to be seated in the dining area was not honored, even though there were empty tables there. We were seated near the bar, which was a bit noisy. Hopefully, next time will be better. I think the Middle Eastern food here is better than most."
Dined on 11/8/2013
I spend time searching for
authentically good restaurants, and this is my find in DC. What a lovely place. Easy to get to, parking on site...food amaing, warm atmosphere. This is not a "hip / cool place"...which generally means great design, mediorcre food and poor service. Mama Ayesha has history, charm, warmth, great professional service and delciious food. What more do you need? I will return again and again."
Dined on 11/3/2013
I love going to Mama Ayesha's
because I can have a relaxed meal, hear my conversation, and still feel that I'm going somewhere special. The food is great, the ambiance is lovely and the service is top notch."
Dined on 10/29/2013
This was our second time at the
restaurant. We were immediately seated even though it was a busy Saturday night. Waiter and staff were attentive. Suggested several items. The food was served in a timely manner. Appetizers very tasty (Arabian salad and Kibbe). One of us chose the lamb shank which was good but needed a little more spice to it. The eggplant was cooked just right."
Dined on 10/27/2013
We are relatively new to DC and
have enjoyed Mama Ayesha's several times. It's one of the few places around that is nicely atmospheric, with good food, and a decibal level that allows for conversation with new people! The service is always helpful and attentive and the food delicious."
Dined on 10/19/2013
Many small portions that are very
resaonbly priced, allowing a very good sampling. Many vegetarian choices. Service very fast and well timed"
Dined on 9/29/2013
I've been to Mama Ayesha's twice,
both for somewhat special occasions. Once was when I first arrived in DC and my family took me here, and the other was this past weekend when my girlfriend and I celebrated 6 months of being together. The first time was a while ago, so it's a little blurred in my memory, but the second time is fresh and I absolutely loved it. The food was delightfully flavorful, the waiter was attentive and prompt if not the chattiest fellow around, and the wine I ordered was great. Definitely worth it. The seating wasn't what I would have preferred--it was a Friday night, and we were sat in a row of tables for 2--but it wasn't a deal-breaker by any means."
Dined on 9/21/2013
The baba ghanouj, as many
reviewers noted, was great. The rest of dinner was good but not exceptional. Service was attentive, the decor in the place is quite cool. IT was worth the trip but probably wont be a repeat for us unless we have visitors who insist on going."
Dined on 9/21/2013
Wow, I moved to DC a few months
ago, and this is the best food I have had in D.C. yet!"
Dined on 9/8/2013
How could we have waited so long
to enjoy this restaurant! It is superb! We will be back again and again."
Dined on 9/5/2013
Although my wife and I had made an
8:15 reservation at the restaurant, were not seated until about 10 to nine. A long time to wait on a Tuesday night."
Dined on 9/4/2013
Items come out of the kitchen
quickly and the staff makes you feel like you never left home. That's the good news. The bad news is the dishes are all uninspired and compared to other Middle Eastern restaurants, there's no finesse to the cooking. That special something extra that makes good food great is missing. We wanted to appreciate the special effort that went into making our food. We didn't taste it. Drinks were weak, appetizers were just average, and main courses were just not up to snuff. Don't know if it was an off night or if Mama Ayesha has tired, burnt out cooks who don't care anymore. Management should taste what's being preparing and being sent out of the kitchen and then decide what steps need to be taken."
Dined on 9/3/2013
The food here is really wonderful.
Even the little picky eaters devoured everything that was set in front of them (except for the falafel which was a little spicy but very very good). The wait staff were all friendly and attentive especially to the little ones. All the dishes were great - from the baked chicken dishes to the lamb shank to the kebabs."
Dined on 9/1/2013
The restaurant has a nice ambience
- low lighting and fairly romantic - but the tables are too close together. It's impossible to have a private conversation. My food was just OK. They were pushing the lamb shank so I ordered it (against the advice of my date. His thought was that they were trying to get rid of it. He may have been right.). It was a little tough, which is a mystery to me since it was braised. The string beans were overcooked and they drowned the rice in gravy. My date's chicken (cooked over charcoal) was pretty good, though. We started with the hummus and that was fine. The table on one side of us got several apps and the same chicken. I think they had the right idea, judging by what I heard from them :-)"
Dined on 9/1/2013
Hi I ate at Mama Ayesha's after a
40 year absence! I had forgotten about it until the restaurant was featured in the Wash Post weekend guide over the summer. The meal was just as yummy as I remembered it. Is you enjoy Middle Eastern food - GO. I is a great value foe the money."
Dined on 8/26/2013
Able to get a Friday night
reservation on Friday night, near the Woodley Park Metro, well organized menu, waiter helpful in matching and sequencing small plates, combination of dishes created well-balanced flavors. One wine label in each category available by the glass (alas, no draft beers); great place to have a normal-decibel conversation."
Dined on 8/31/2013
Mama Ayesha's is beautifully
decorated and carries the Turkish theme throughout the restaurant. The menu was robust and included lots of middle eastern favorites to pick from as well as some new dishes I had not had before. The service was slow, although my boyfriend and I disagreed on how slow. I compared it to a European style where they wait for you to completely finish one portion of the meal before firing the next dish. However, we waited quite a while after sitting down to get water served and asked about drinks. Water refills throughout the meal were not quick. A little more attention would have been nice even if the food service was relaxed."
Dined on 8/31/2013
Came across Mama Ayesha's as we
were walking by, so decided to stop for dinner. The restaurant was very quiet, but we were early. Service was attentive and friendly. we started with hummus, followed by a mixed grill and squash stuffed with lamb and rice. The food was cooked brilliantly -- we'll definitely return!"
Dined on 8/27/2013
This restaurant was far too
expensive and the service was terrible. The waiter brought out an extra order of falafels and refused to admit that he brought an extra order. He blamed my girlfriend and said it was not his fault since he wrote everything down. Would not recommend this restaurant, as there are far better options at better prices."
Dined on 8/23/2013
I hope that Mama Ayesha's will
remain a strong, gentle presence in our neighborhood for many years to come. Several old friends from Peace Corps Tunisia days gathered there last week and spent several hours dining on excellent mezze, lamb couscous, good wines in a quiet atmosphere reminiscent of earlier times in Tunisia at the Café de Paris on Avenue Bourguiba. The flowing water fountain is a lovely touch, as well as the Arabian/Andalousian music playing softly in the background. This place takes you back to an historic past that hasn't been forgotten and hopefully will live on."

No, they won't go android. the corporate sales market is to large, even for MS/Dell to fullfill, HP knows that.
Personally, Google is pissing me off, I'm stepping as far away from them as I can get.
As stated before....Microsoft has pissed of it's OEM buyers. HP goes Andriod for tablets and phones.
I still say it's a huge mistake, but we'll see.
Considering that they just sold WebOS to LG this probably didn't have anything to do with Surface. These aren't the kind of deals made on a knee-jerk reaction, anyway.
Yeah so microsoft wants to own dog+world again... since when is that news...

Pure & Basic Anti-Dandruff Natural Shampoo Tea Tree And Rosemary -- 12 fl oz
It does work.
It has a thick gel-like consistency which makes it a little bit hard to spread evenly on the scalp. I usually add warm water as needed and try to wash scalp well rather than washing my hair. It makes my scalp and hair very clean without tangling my hair. It smells herbal but doesn't linger at all. It doesn't irritate my scalp at all and doesn't dry my hair either. Love this product, I might repurchase!

Morristown City Council member Dennis Alvis says he decided to return to elective office last year because he likes helping people solve problems.
Alvis says that during the 34 years he worked for the Morristown Parks and Recreation Department, he developed strong relationships with city departments and Morristown Utility Systems, and gained a keen knowledge of how city government works.
Alvis was appointed to city council to fill the unexpired term of the late Claude Jinks, and by doing so, obliged himself to run for the Ward 4 seat in the May 7 election.
"The part I enjoy is not just cutting through the red tape, but directing people who to see when they have problems," Alvis said. "If somebody calls saying they have a problem, I love directing them and sending them to the right place, rather than them not knowing where to go or who to talk to."
Alvis says that under the leadership of Morristown City Administrator Tony Cox, he believes city government is on the right track both financially and in terms of making long-ignored improvements to infrastructure.
"I have worked under at least eight city administrators, and until he proves me wrong, he's as competent as any I've ever worked under," Alvis said. "He has a good working relationship with the employees. I've seen city administrators that you can't even approach."
Alvis says he's particularly pleased with a project that hits close to home – upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant. Alvis and his wife of 37 years, Marlene, live in the Lakemoore subdivision, and have experienced their share of foul odors emanating from the plant.
He says he strongly supports allowing the city administrator broad latitude in running city business, which goes along way in removing politics from decisions that impact all Morristown residents. Other cities have a strong mayoral model but Alvis prefers the current system
"The way our charter is set up, the mayor is ceremonial," he said. "He has one vote like everybody else."
Along the same lines, Alvis says he applauds sending management of the city's sanitary sewer system to the Morristown Utility Commission, and creating the Morristown Regional Airport Commission.
In both instances, Alvis said, decisions will be made by competent men and women who know more about the issues than city councilmembers.
With respect to the sewer system, Alvis says he believes a local board will be more responsive than a for-profit company that answers not to the people, but to city government.
Alvis says he's personally complained to Veolia Water about odors in his neighborhood, only to be "passed down the food chain."
"I think local people would be better to deal with on local problems," said Alvis, who added he's of the opinion that the MUC will do a better job for less money, which will benefit all Hamblen County residents.
The candidate says he recognizes that the garbage fee has become an issue in the election, but questions whether one proposed cure – scuttling the garbage fee – is worse than the $10 monthly fee.
Alvis says the money for garbage pickup has to come from somewhere, and if the garbage fee were abolished, city property taxes would have to be raised to compensate for the approximately $1.4 million in lost revenue.
Alvis, who was not on council when the garbage fee was implemented, says he believes the garbage fee is fair because everybody pays, not just people who own property, and property taxes fall disproportionately on business and industry.
The candidate says he does not consider himself of a part of the friction that's characterized city council meetings over the past few years.
"I'm not on a side," he said. "I'm going to vote my conscience and I'm going to keep a civil tongue and a level head, and although I may disagree with certain people, I respect their opinions.
"Their opinion is theirs and mine is mine, and I hope I never do or say anything that embarrasses the city. I don't plan on it."
Alvis served four years on the Hamblen County Commission. He retired from the parks department and resigned his commission seat to care for a son who was involved in a car crash.

Last week we discovered Llama Del Rey; this week we see the emergence of two parody Twitter accounts following the Oscars on Sunday – Angelina Jolie's Leg and JLo's Nipple. The former cropped up when Jolie appeared at the Oscars in a long black dress with a slit so high it revealed her slender, muscular right leg. And only her right leg (Jolie kept posing so dramatically that it was even mocked at the awards itself). Meanwhile JLo's Nipple came after some viewers watching the awards in HD claimed to have seen a slip of her nipple, or 'nip-slip' as everyone calls it. JLo's stylist refuted the claim, stating that the dress was tailor-made for JLo with cups fitted in and only gave the 'illusion of sheerness'.
Even so, both Twitter accounts have gone on to reach thousands of followers overnight, with Angelina Jolie's Leg crushing JLo's Nipple with 35,785 followers today (compared to JLo's 5,089). Suffice to say that the leg has kicked JLo out of the playing field and even landed itself meme status by paving the way for the web's latest sensation, legbombing. Similar to previous memes such as Sad Keanu and The Situation Room, legbombing involves photoshopping Jolie's right leg onto famous portraits and photos; Gandhi, Batman and Darth Vader are just some of the (hilarious) victims to be legbombed. View the rest on Pinterest and have fun wasting your time well.
As for JLo's Nipple, it's unfortunate that it didn't become as popular, but the account is worth following for your daily dose of everything breast related (the last time we checked the nipple was campaigning for a No Bra Revolution on the basis of possible 'nipple suffocation').

A bestselling author and legendary photographer present an illuminating look at a pivotal moment in our nation's history: The March on Washington
Despite the heat and humidity, people came in droves from across the country and around the world, heading for the towering spire of the Washington Monument in our nation's capital. All of the marchers—black, white, Christian, and Jew—shared the same dream: freedom and equality for 19 million African Americans. Almost 300,000 strong, the marchers poured into Washington, D.C., to bear witness, to hear the immortal words of Martin Luther King, Jr., and to petition Congress to pass the President's Civil Rights bill.Stanley Tretick, a seasoned photojournalist best known for his iconic images of President Kennedy and his family, was also in the crowd, drawing inspiration from the historic scenes unfolding before him. In this magnificent book, his stirring photographs of that day are published for the first time. Accompanied by an insightful essay and captions from bestselling author Kitty Kelley, as well as a moving foreword by Marian Wright Edelman, Let Freedom Ring commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington and celebrates the crescendo of the Civil Rights movement in America.

Praise for Let Freedom Ring:
"To say that I was overcome by emotions after reading Let Freedom Ring: Stanley Tretick's Iconic Images of the March on Washington would be an understatement — particularly as I considered that only 50 years later, Barack Obama serves as president. The eloquence in these 161 pages commanded my attention from beginning to end. Kitty Kelley's essays provide context for stunning, never-before-published photographs by Tretick." –Chicago Tribune
"Turn to any page and you're likely to be moved – and reminded of work yet to be done, as Children's Defense Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman manages to do so effectively in her introduction…. Kelley's lean text, respectfully subordinated to the largely joyous, strikingly candid images by her old friend Tretick, vividly evokes a time when this nation was pregnant with both conflict and promise." –Christian Science Monitor
"Offers readers an intimate glimpse of a pivotal day 50 years ago in America's civil rights movement." --San Antonio Express-News
"A kinetic look at the march, but also a chronicle of the civil rights movement and its leaders, more journalistic in nature, a kind of documentary that appears to be without style or guile. If you have that wish of having been at the march, this is as close as you can get… These are not great pictures. They're something better than that. There are thousands of images that exist of the march. Tretick's photos have the look of news, of in the moment. They are faces caught up close. They show the multitudes carrying a message or rather hundreds of messages." --Georgetowner
"Fifty years later, a stirring evocation of the 1963 March on Washington…. Fine photos, concise text, including excerpts from remarks of the day, and a solid view of the Kennedy administration dragged into the American future." --Kirkus
"Readers are given an intimate portrait of the weeks leading up to the march, as well as iconic images of the day. Tretick (1921–1999) was a master at capturing his subjects with depth and humanity…. The book is a welcome marker of a seminal moment in American history." –Publishers Weekly
"Tretick, famous for his iconic photos of President Kennedy and his family, documents the rising hopes and tensions as blacks and whites pressed for equity and obstructionists fought their efforts…. Kelley provides narrative background and context, including the roles of such iconic figures as Robert Kennedy, Roy Wilkins, James Baldwin, and A. Philip Randolph. This inspirational book also includes excerpts of speeches by King and others." --Booklist
KITTY KELLEY is an internationally acclaimed writer, whose bestselling biographies focus on some of the most influential and powerful personalities of the last fifty years. Kelley's last five biographies have been number one on The New York Times bestseller list. Kelley lives in Washington, D.C.
STANLEY TRETICK (1921-1999) was one of the pre-eminent photojournalists of his era. Trained as a photographer in the Marine Corps during World War II, Tretick's first civilian job was for United Press International, where he covered Congress. He later covered John F. Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign and then worked for LOOK covering President Kennedy and his family in the White House. He received special credentials to cover the March on Washington. His photos of that momentous day are published here for the first time.

Richard Parkes Bonington
Richard Parkes Bonington (25 October 1801[1] – 23 September 1828) was an English Romantic landscape painter, who moved to France at the age of 14 and can also be considered as a French artist, and an intermediary bringing aspects of English style to France.[2] Becoming after his very early death one of the most influential British artists of his time, the facility of his style was inspired by the old masters, yet was entirely modern in its application. His landscapes were mostly of coastal scenes, with a low horizon and large sky, showing a brilliant handling of light and atmosphere. He also painted small historical cabinet paintings in a freely-handled version of the Troubadour style.
Life and work[edit]
Richard Parkes Bonington was born in the town of Arnold, four miles from Nottingham.[1] His father also known as Richard was successively a gaoler, a drawing master and lace-maker, and his mother a teacher. Bonington learned watercolour painting from his father and exhibited paintings at the Liverpool Academy at the age of eleven.
In 1817, Bonington's family moved to Calais, France, where his father had set up a lace factory. At this time, Bonington started taking lessons from the painter François Louis Thomas Francia,[3] who – having recently returned from England where he had been deeply influenced by the work of Thomas Girtin[4] – taught him the English watercolour technique. In 1818, the Bonington family moved to Paris to open a lace shop. There he met and became friends with Eugène Delacroix. He worked for a time producing copies of Dutch and Flemish landscapes in the Louvre. In 1820, he started attending the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under Antoine-Jean, Baron Gros.[5]
It was around this time that Bonington started going on sketching tours in the suburbs of Paris and the surrounding countryside. His first paintings were exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1822. He also began to work in oils and lithography, illustrating Baron Taylor's Voyages pittoresques dans l'ancienne France and his own architectural series Restes et Fragmens. In 1824, he won a gold medal at the Paris Salon along with John Constable and Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding, and spent most of the year painting coastal views in Dunkirk.[6]
In 1825 he met Delacroix on a visit with Alexandre-Marie Colin to London, and they sketched together there, and shared a studio for some months in Paris on their return; Delacroix influenced him in turning to historical painting. He also developed a technique mixing watercolour with body colour and gum, achieving an effect close to oil painting. In 1826 he visited northern Italy,[7] staying in Venice for a month,[8] and London again in 1827-8. In late 1828 his tuberculosis worsened and his parents sent him back to London for treatment. Bonington died of tuberculosis on 23 September 1828 at 29 Tottenham Street in London, aged 25.[9]
Delacroix paid tribute to Bonington's work in a letter to Théophile Thoré in 1861. It reads, in part:
When I met him for the first time, I too was very young and was making studies in the Louvre: this was around 1816 or 1817...Already in this genre (watercolor), which was an English novelty at that time, he had an astonishing ability...To my mind, one can find in other modern artists qualities of strength and of precision in rendering that are superior to those in Bonington's pictures, but no one in this modern school, and perhaps even before, has possessed that lightness of touch which, especially in watercolours, makes his works a type of diamond which flatters and ravishes the eye, independently of any subject and any imitation.[10]
To Laurence Binyon however, "Bonington's extraordinary technical gift was also his enemy. There is none of the interest of struggle in his painting."[11]
Bonington had a number of close followers, such as Roqueplan and Isabey in France, and Thomas Shotter Boys, James Holland, William Callow and John Scarlett Davis in England. In addition, there were many copies and forgeries of his work made in the period immediately after his death.[12]
A statue to him was erected outside the Nottingham School of Art by Fothergill Watson, and a primary school in his home town of Arnold is named after him. The Wallace Collection has an especially large group of 35 works, representing both his landscapes and history paintings.

Forts Randolph & Buhlow State Historic Site
After the Battle of Mansfield, halting the Union advance to the West in Spring of 1864, Forts Randolph and Buhlow were constructed on the Red River at Alexandria by Confederates in order to repel future Union attacks through Northwest Louisiana. Construction, completed by March 1865, was under the command of Cpt. Christopher M. Randolph and supervised by a military engineer, Lt. Alphonse Buhlow, for whom the forts are named. A third and larger fort, planned for the Alexandria side of the river, was never built. The earthen forts, constructed using local plantation slave labor, were fortified with cannon and over 800 soldiers. In addtion to a Confederate troop buildup in the Alexandria area, the Confederate ironclad Missouri was anchored in the river opposite Fort Randolph, but the anticipated attack never came and no fighting over took place. In May of 1865, the Confederates surrendered to Union forces, and the forts where occupied for a short while by the Union before being abandoned at the end of the war. Forts Randolph & Buhlow State Historic Site also includes the remains of Bailey's Dam. Bailey's Dam, remarkable for its design and the amount of time required in constructing it, allowed for the Union Fleet, under the command of Admiral David Porter, to escape below the rapids on the Red River at Alexandria during the Union retreat after the battle of Mansfield. Called "one of the greatest engineering feats of the Civil War," The dam designed by Colonel Joseph Bailey has left a lasting mark on the history of the region. The site is today commemorated with interpretive signage and a scenic overlook of the Red River. Located on Red River in downtown Pineville, the site includes a visitor center with exhibits on the Civil War Red River Campaign, an elevated boardwalk around the fort area, with an overlook near Bailey's Dam site, and an open field for Civil War re-enactments. Forts Randolph & Buhlow were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

Previous "The Kiss" | Next "The Refund" |
The Party is the seventeenth episode of season one of The Amazing World of Gumball.
Rachel throws a party and, after blackmail from her brother, lets him and his friends attend on one condition: each of them must bring a date.
SPOILER AHEAD! Important details about the plot or story are up ahead |
At lunch, Gumball suggests he and Darwin make a list of dates so they can get into the party. Darwin still doesn't know what a date is, so he asks. Bobert appears and defines it for him and quickly leaves. Darwin suggests Penny, but Gumball, being too shy, sheepishly says no. With that out of the way, the two of them begin listing girls. First is Carrie, who tries to eat a sandwich, but fails. Gumball lists her as "maybe". Next is Teri, who is laughing with a few other girls. Gumball lists her as "possibly". Third is Carmen, who is reading a book. Gumball doesn't list her and moves on to Sussie, who is grossly chewing food. Gumball flatly says "no" and crosses her off the list. Suddenly, a paper airplane lands in Gumball's food. Gumball unfolds the paper and finds a note that reads "Would you be the jelly in my peanut butter sandwich?". Taking this literally instead of figuratively, he declines. Gumball then rushes off to ask some girls out.
The scene transitions to the lockers, where Masami and Teri are chatting. Gumball goes to Masami first, but angers her by calling her unattractive and doubting her femininity. She turns gray (like a raincloud), zaps him, then storms off. Gumball asks Teri next, but Gumball messes it up by telling her she looks desperate. Teri slaps him, but since she is made of paper, it doesn't do much. Then Sussie walks by, so Gumball asks her. She responds with a stinky burp, which leaves Gumball petrified as she walks away. Banana Joe, along with his date Carmen, walks past and jokes at his failure to get a date, leaving Gumball looking hurt. Gumball is persuaded to ask Tina by Anais, and at the doorstep of Rachel's house he meets Penny, who is upset that Gumball didn't ask her as his date.
The four go inside the house, and it ends up being pretty boring for Gumball while Darwin has the time of his life. Tina asks Gumball for a dance, which he rejects. Suddenly, Miss Simian bursts through the door, spooking the party-goers, and "busts them wide open". It is discovered that her intent was not to rat the party-goers out, but to join the party. She presses a button on Juke, causing dance music to come on. The party instantly becomes exciting.
Everybody goes insane, with the TV throwing itself out the window and Banana Joe flying through a different window. Rachel is horrified, thinking that her party is ruined, since only underclassmen came (trashing the house) and her friends did not. Darwin tells her that the party is not ruined, since the underclassmen are her friends and he will personally clean up the entire house. Rachel doubts him for a moment, but when Darwin reassures her, she feels better about the party.
The next scene is after the crazy part of the party when most of them are tired but Sussie (in which still eating as usual). Meanwhile, Gumball had been dancing with Tina awkwardly. Penny comes up to him, dancing with Hector just as awkwardly. Penny tells Gumball that she had been the one who sent the note, which Gumball is confused about, as he states that he was not hungry and did not wish to be in a sandwich. Penny laughs, as she is amazed that Gumball did not understand the note. Then Hector offered Tina the next dance, but Tina said he can have the current dance and "drops" Gumball.
Darwin had been cleaning up the house as promised. Rachel is very grateful and asks Darwin why he doesn't have a girlfriend. When Darwin states that he does not see the point of one, Rachel shows him and kisses him on the cheek, causing him to faint. Gumball and Penny forgive each other, and Gumball asks Penny out to the next party there is (nervously). She accepts, and are about to kiss when Richard loudly honks his car multiple times, interrupting them once more. Gumball has to drag him to the car while Penny and Rachel discuss the boys that they have met (Rachel being slightly disappointed, Penny being proud).
In the car, Richard asks the boys about the party, which the boys are both very happy about;Also Richard says that he likes Penny better than Tina, making Gumball blush in embarrassment.
Darwin deciding to yodel to describe how his night went. The three drive home after a long night, just as Rachel and Tobias' parents get home and pass by Miss Simian and Principal Brown in a closet. They had been about to kiss before they had been interrupted by the parents walking by.

- Rachel speaks for the first time in this episode.
- This was the first episode to have its own promo.
- This was the first time we see Leslie without his flower pot.
- In this episode, we find out that Darwin is part suckerfish.
- This episode reveals Darwin's full name, unless he was joking, which is not likely due to his nativity.
- This was the first episode Tobias' parents speak.
- Richard says he's been married for 20 years, indicating he and Nicole are either in their late 30s or 40s.
- The characters referenced the party as a "High School Party"; however, the students attend Elmore Junior High.
- This is the second time the sun talks. The first time was in "The End" .

Cultural References
- On Elmore Stream-It, Tina was looking for date for a party. She could be talking about this party since she had no date when Gumball called her.
- When Tobias and the gang say "Rachel, Rachel, Rachel", it is a reference to The Brady Bunch quote "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia".
- Alan appeared to be shaking his face back and forth in between two balloons, a reference to the lewd act of motorboating (putting your face on a woman's breast then shaking it around while yelling).
- An episode of Robot and Monster is also called The Party.
- An episode of Animaniacs shared the same name as well.
- In the closed captions, Sussie's name is spelled Saucy.
- Rachel said everyone had to have a date for the party; however, Darwin was at the party even though he didn't have a date.
- In a forward shot of the Wattersons' car, Tina isn't present.
- Darwin didn't seem to know what a date was in this episode, but in "The Pressure", he did when he tells Gumball that he needed a date to get into the tree house. This episode could have taken place before then, or Darwin might have just forgotten what a date was.
- In this episode, Carmen is dating Banana Joe, but in the show's original promos, she is dating Alan.
- When Gumball is in the school hallway Gumball tells Sussie she's his date for the party even though he crossed her off the list in the cafeteria.

Plans began developing soon after Jim Leto joined the company four years ago
As GTSI Corp.'s Jim Leto prepares to step down as chief executive officer on Feb. 15, his successor, Scott Friedlander, says the transition will be a smooth one as the two executives began developing four years ago when Leto joined the company.
"Jim has allowed me run the company day in and day out as president and chief operating officer since December 2007" while Leto focused of CEO activities such as liaison with the board of directors, Friedlander told Washington Technology today.
He said almost from day one Leto had a human capital plan, which included everything from outside coaches, cascading goals throughout the corporation and developmental action planning.
"Inside that human capital plan was a very defined succession plan if I were to be the right guy" to succeed Leto, Friedlander said, although there was no specific date within the four- to five-year plan for him to assume the role of CEO.
"As things continued to mature in the company and improve in all regards in terms of human capital, our strategic plan, our operational ability and our financial health, I think Jim felt more and more comfortable and confident in my ability and in the ability of the executive team as well," he said.
He said GTSI was in trouble financially and structurally when Leto took over as CEO four years ago.
"We struggled," he said. "Obviously the first elements were getting the company back to health, stabilizing the company, locking down the financial elements of it, getting the company right-sized, if you will. And getting the infrastructure set and the strategic plan set."
"I think we did that," Friedlander said. Under Leto's leadership, "I think we have maneuvered through the waters very well. We've adjusted our model."
"And obviously the last two years proved that the first two years of the four-year total we did the right thing," he said, and added that GTSI is now a healthy company with positive cash flow.
While GTSI reported lower net earnings for its last reported quarter, which ended Sept. 30, the company said it took an income tax expense of $3.2 million that was not taken in the same quarter in 2008 because the company reverted to full taxpayer status. GTSI's net earnings were $3.8 million on revenue of $209.7 million, compared to net earnings of $8.2 million in the same 2008 quarter, when revenue was $257.1 million.
Expenses also are dropping, according to the company's quarterly report. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $23.8 million, down from the $27.5 million for the same period in 2008.
The company's gross margins remain the same at about 14 percent.
Friedlander said he believes his first year at the helm will be a good year for GTSI as he leads the company toward its three-year goal of becoming a mid-tier systems integrator that remains true to its core strengths even as it extends its services capabilities.
He called Leto a tremendous coach and mentor, whose legacy was already recognized at last week's national company meeting with a standing ovation.
"He is leaving a company that today is making money, cash-flow positive, has a new corporate facility, a ton of good energy around it and is adjusting course in a market that is not simple to maneuver through," he said. "It's because of him that the company in many, many ways has stabilized the way it has."
Friedlander said he is in no rush to name his successor as COO or make any executive changes until at least the second half of the year. "It will all be tied to what I'd call the strategic plan and the operational plan," he said.
"We have a strong, strong executive group and we have a very strong next tier, if you will, from what I'll call directors and vice presidents in the company," he said. "So I am really comfortable with where we are today."

Why do Westminster faculty and staff give back to the college? You may be surprised at the health benefits of giving.
Live Longer "A remarkable fact is that giving, even in later years, can delay death. The impact of giving is just as significant as not smoking and avoiding obesity." Stephen Post, professor of preventative medicine, Stony Brook University
Get High "Altruistic behavior releases endorphins in the brain, producing the positive feeling known as the 'helper's high.'" Greatergood.berkeley.edu
Decrease Stress Researchers suggest that one reason giving may improve physical health and longevity is that it helps decrease stress by lowering blood pressure, which is associated with a variety of health problems. Rachael Piferi, Johns Hopkins University and Kathleen Lawler, University of Tennessee
Better than Sex "Giving has been linked to the release of oxytocin, a hormone (also released during sex and breast feeding) that induces feelings of warmth, euphoria, and connection to others. A dose of oxytocin will cause people to give more generously and to feel more empathy towards others with 'symptoms' lasting up to two hours." Paul Zak, Center for Neuroeconomics, Claremont Graduate University
Make a gift and start feeling better today! You make a difference using one of these easy options: • enroll in payroll deduction online • order a Westminster College license plate • name Westminster as a beneficiary You can direct your gift of any amount to: scholarships, Student Hardship Fund, The Westminster Fund, any of the schools or programs, athletics, or greatest need.

Just A Hello
Posted 09 August 2012 - 11:27 PM
I just joined.
I'm frustrated and hurting.
I'm surrounded by intelligent, compassionate people who are struggling to understand.
I do not want to talk about such private issues with everyone.
I've been gluten free for almost 5 months. I was diagnosed 4 months ago and am on my third month of dapsone.
I started taking neurontin a year ago, when the rash began. Now I'm taking both. I'm doped up and in pain all the time. Very restricted diet. I want this to end. I had a life.
Posted 10 August 2012 - 08:08 AM
In the meantime, feel free to rant or whine or whatever you need to do. I think every one of us here has had at least one whiney thread. I know I made several, and every one was met with compassion and understanding, AND gread advice.
It's going to take time, but it WILL get better. I promise. (((((HUGS)))))
gluten-free since June, 2011
Can't eat soy, corn, or foods high in salicylates.
Nightshades now seem to bother me too.
Posted 10 August 2012 - 11:19 AM
I can't tell you what a relief it is to find you guyses.
Reading, reading all the same symptoms and solutions I have and have tried.
I have faith.
Posted 10 August 2012 - 11:39 AM
So sorry you are having such a rough time. Just wanted to second what bartfull posted. We have all posted our frustrations a time or two or maybe ten! Feel free to vent - there is always someone popping on that will try to help alleviate frustration or answer questions.
You will improve if you keep at it - try to notice and celebrate any small improvements along the way.
This will get better and you will gain health - unfortunately it can take time.
Hang in there!

I have dh too. Feel free to post wherever you like but there is a dh forum too --- it is here:
it's probably better to post dh questions there.
Otherwise for all other celiac issues then pick the appropriate forum & go for it.
Geez, I think I've posted 2 whiney threads. We get it. Been there, done that.
Tell us Lolli what is going on with you? Where is your pain? How is your dh? What are you eating? Talk to us.

I can't even begin to describe the horror of this last year and a half.
Secondly, I am a very positive, loving, rightly ambitious person. But, this thing is bigger than me. I can't tell what, of the many things going on, is affecting me most right now.
I have always been skinny. I was raised on the Atkins diet, because my father was a heart surgeon. I could eat whatever I wanted, but always made healthy choices from my upbringing.
Because of the unbelievable things that have gone on in the last year and a half, in my personal life, I have allowed myself to grieve and dip into self pity. I normally don't indulge in self pity.
Dec. 2010 my lover emailed me that he had begun an affair with a married woman. She demanded a full std test, so that she wouldnt bring anything home to her husband. He tested positive for 3 things. Oh and that he didn't want to see me anymore. I think I went into shock. I had to see them at church. I stopped going. I coped. I had so much on my plate. It was winter and that has always been hard on me because I had no fat. I was enrolled in classical ballet, to maintain strength and manage my scoliosis. I added 1,000 calories a day, it was a hard winter that year, mostly bread. At the end of the semester, a rash appeared, just above my tail bone. I thought it was heat rash from the leotard and tights and the growing heat in the studio. It got worse.
I thought I had caught something. I did. But, only one.
I began suppressive therapy and excluding stressful people, places. I took algebra over the summer and made A's even doped up like that. My daughter was in a 3 wheeler accident that broke her nose and we basically had a burn victim on our hands. I stepped back from any kind of public life, then.
By fall, no improvement. I stopped suppressive therapy because I knew I couldn't function with a full course load and live in general, like that. By now, 10 of my friends had died from overdoses, drinking, age. I am a recovered alcoholic. I removed myself from AA. The grief inside my home group was tearing it apart. I still work with my sponsors and sponsees. Fast forward to spring this year.
I was on the back porch, barely able to do what I needed to do. Trying to cut myself some slack after so much. By then 20+ friends gone.
I sat. I thought,"where is the girl (I'm 46) that used to be at work at 7:30?! Lifting 155 lbs of hurricane tarps?
This is not normal for me, for anyone.
My mother suggested I look into celiac.
And there it was. There it ALL was. I started gluten free.
It had previously taken 5 years to gain five pounds. I thought I was just high metabolism. Doing too much. Dancing to much. Gluten free, I gained 20 pounds in less than three months. I brought everything to my doctor. Originally, I wasn't going to take dapsone, but after no relief from gluten free, I was willing to try anything. She agreed.
In April I was SO hungry. Eating twigs and berries. I went fully gluten free. Raw. Hard. I read, I learned, I applied, I screwed up. I guess I'm just chock full of antibodies. I've read that production can go up after gluten free, for some reason. And about cc, iodine, and foods whose molecules are shaped similar to gluten and the villi freaks out.
I work, volunteer, and study emergency management and business administration.
I'm not giving up. There is good in the world and good to do.
Posted 10 August 2012 - 06:33 PM
I went down to rice, cucumber, and pear. This week I added banana.
I had the opportunity to deploy nationally, this summer, but I declined due to obvious health reasons.
I bought and packed gluten free food, just in case. It's been a very busy year in my field. I switched my prescriptions to Walgreens and keep my eye on my blood test dates.
As it is now, it would be very difficult to go into a downed infrastructure and remain well.
Posted 10 August 2012 - 06:35 PM
Posted 13 August 2012 - 10:10 AM
And maybe, just maybe, my story will help somebody else.
It does! I'm new here but just wanted to say Lolli, you're also a very good writer!

This will get better and you will gain health- unfortunately it can take time. They say "Knowing is not enough; we mustapply. Willing is not enough; we must do".
Good Luck .
Posted 02 September 2012 - 08:15 PM
I read a bunch of stuff and applied it.
I had my first itchless night, in six years last week.
My food list has gotten tiny, tiny, but the symptoms are subsiding.
I can hardly believe it.
I haven't been glutened in about 4 weeks.
My bloating has diminished and I no longer feel like I'm being disemboweled.
Now, I just need to keep this up and slowly test individual foods.
Not really ready to test anything. Ouch.
I'm gonna keep coming back to learn!

Hi ; )
I just joined.
I'm frustrated and hurting.
I'm surrounded by intelligent, compassionate people who are struggling to understand.
I do not want to talk about such private issues with everyone.
I've been gluten free for almost 5 months. I was diagnosed 4 months ago and am on my third month of dapsone.
I started taking neurontin a year ago, when the rash began. Now I'm taking both. I'm doped up and in pain all the time. Very restricted diet. I want this to end. I had a life.
Hi, I'm kind of new here but I want to welcome you too and tell you that I totally understand your frustration, this is a hard thing to accept!
I'd joined here several years ago but at the time wasn't sure I "belonged" here as I've never been officially diagnosed; also the forum didn't seem too active so I eventually forgot to come back. Through those years I kept eating wheat/gluten periodically. When things caught up with me in some way, I'd stop for a few months but eventually fell into temptation again. It was also amazing how I'd "forget" things I'd read before and how I could not see the connection between my worsening health and the pattern I'd created.
It took a rough wake-up call last Spring for me to come to terms with my "gluten sensitivity" very possible celiac. It came in the form of a thyroiditis attack (2nd since last year...) accompanied by the panic attacks from hell, intermittent diarrhea, queasiness and pain in the liver area, nearly paralizing fatigue and depression all of which interfered with my sleep. The puzzling thing was that all that happened about 2 months after I'd cleaned up my diet again (but I learned here that some people go through a period of "detox"). Also, during my so-called gluten-free period I'd cheated a little a couple of times by having cheesecake with cookie crust, at the time I thought it was more of a "wheat allergy" so I'd pop an antihistamine and avoid the worsening of my chronic nasal congestion (my only most obvious and immediate symptom) and thought that was the worst of it.
But I forgot about my thyroid... I'd read many years ago that antibodies from gluten would attack it, so I've had a few thyroiditis attacks, during those my throat area gets swollen so I can't lie on my side when I sleep or I choke, and the symptoms that go with it are like being hyperthyroid, not fun at all. And I also "forgot" that last year eating wheat had begun to give me loose bowel movements (and I was always constipated...) and awful abdominal cramps.
But I also read that such antibodies can be lowered by taking vit. B12 and selenium, so I made a point to try to take those supplements as regularly as I could remember, which sometimes I just didn't, but on the whole I think that kept me from things getting much worse. So perhaps you could give that a try. I'll try to find the article I read about it (if it's still available online) so I can give you the link, who knows, perhaps that might help shorten/speed up your recovery period.
