Her name was DeDee…
The Alabama Eye Bank contacted me in regards to your recent operation. I hope you will have great success in life with the sight you have been given. We are glad to know that a good thing has come out of the sorrowful and untimely death of our daughter.
My name is Don Drummond and my wife's name is Michelle. Together we raised DeDee and she was a pleasure to live with and love those nearly 18 years that we lived with her in Central California. She met her husband when she was about 11 years old and married before she turned 18. She and her husband had 3 children.
Her husband was in the Navy as a medic so they lived in several places in the US. DeDee was a very warm, loving, caring and giving person. DeDee had one grandson and by the time you read this letter her second grandson will have been born. I know that her spirit will be there when he was born.
DeDee leaves behind her husband of 25 years, 3 children and extended family. Yep, I am her dad and I changed her diapers, bathed her, clothed her, taught her to drive, and loved her. I didn't have to teach her to love people because that was her nature. I have a big frog in my throat and a dinosaur in my soul, which they say will grow smaller in time.
If you start feeling the urge to go to Disneyland, that is because DeDee had season passes and attended sometimes three times a week when she lived in Southern California. She was very outgoing and had numerous friends and communicated on Facebook a lot.
Don Drummond.
]]>We've been providing transplantable corneal tissue to the state of Alabama for 46 years. As we look back and let the reality of just how many thousands and thousands of Alabamians over our history that have long benefited from sight-restoring corneal transplants make us all swell with pride to know that we have had a hand in restoring purpose in a life through the gift of sight. We are so proud to have worked with so many of the industries leading professionals here in Alabama and all the friends in the medical community across the nation.
Each year, the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) along with the Alabama Eye Bank and other eye banks nation wide promote March as "National Eye Donor Month" to raise awareness of the need for eye donation. President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first National Eye Donor Month in 1983, and since then, a member of Congress has read a proclamation into the Congressional Record each March to note this special occasion.
Last year, the Alabama Eye Bank recovered and provided over 1300 transplantable corneas to help fellow Alabamian's and patients around the world, regain their sight. The EBAA and its member eye banks know firsthand the profound effect of sight-restoring corneal transplants, which changes the lives of over 60,000 people each year.
The efforts of the EBAA, its member banks, corneal surgeons, certified eye bank technicians (CEBTs) have contributed to advancements in corneal surgery. Our industry-leading medical standards, acknowledged and respected by government and peers alike, have also contributed to the efficacy and safety of corneal tissue. These achievements would not have been possible without the selfless gifts of donors and donor families, the dedication of eye bankers, corneal surgeons and technicians, and the support of our community, who assist us in increasing donation awareness.
In closing, there are lots of ups and downs in our industry right now. However, we can not lose sight of our mission in life and the reality of our jobs that we get to be a part of a chapter in someone's life story of WHEN they got to see again. "It was dark one day, then the eye bank…then the doctor…then the nurse…and I could see again." These are powerful words that we can not let get lost in the static of our days. We all here at the Alabama Eye Bank are so proud and blessed to know that each day we had a part to play in one chapter of someone's life called, "PURPOSE: Restored" and with your support to increase donation awareness, many more will be afforded the same opportunity.

The Alabama Eye Bank is a 501-C3 not-for-profit that has the unique job of helping victims of corneal blindness find sight. For more than 40 years, the AEB has been dedicated to creating a corneal delivery service to solve the unmet vision needs in eye care. AEB is the 4th largest eye bank in North America and has been ranked in the top ten for over 28 consecutive years.
]]>AEB has enjoyed a long and satisfying relationship with the UAB Department of Ophthalmology for over 30 years that has expanded and enhanced the mission for restored vision in Alabama, the United States and worldwide. The unified collaboration has brought much new advancement of corneal surgery techniques, procedures and increased resources for research.
AEB, which has ranked among the Top 10 Eye Banks in the world in corneal tissue recovery for more than two decades, realized that an effective Eye Bank is dependent upon the academic quality of vision scientists, ophthalmologists and the support of ancillary professors. Doyce Williams, CEO says, "I believe in this type of venue and the leadership of Dr. Girkin, UAB Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology, that will continue to encourage, foster and strengthen the goal and main purpose which is to provide the absolute best care possible to the vision impaired and blind locally and throughout the world."
Dr. Christopher Girkin, M.D. who is Chairman & Professor of the Department of Ophthalmology for the University of Alabama-Birmingham School of Medicine responded by saying, "It's been an honor for us to be apart of this exciting endeavor. Working along side the Alabama Eye Bank has been inspirational giving those physicians and residents who are hungry for knowledge the opportunity to grow and advance in their careers."
On April 12th, 2013 Doyce Williams presented a commemorative plaque that displays all previous speakers and publicly communicates the mission of the lecture series along with the effort and passion between AEB and UAB to restore sight and hope through corneal transplant surgery. The plaque will be on display in the Smith Education Center at the UAB Callahan Eye Hospital.

]]>I am writing to express my sincere, heartfelt gratitude to you and members of your family for my gift of sight. I know your decision of organ donation was made at the most difficult time of your lives. As a result of your love and generosity I received a cornea tissue transplant a few weeks ago.
I cannot adequately express the emotions of thankfulness I feel. A few days after surgery my vision was brighter and clearer without distortion I experienced for years. Thank you for this living gift. I am a 69 year old Registered Nurse. Retired and residing in Alabama. My husband and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in a few months. We have 3 children and 7 grandchildren (ages 18 yrs – 2yrs). Two of our children are serving in Christian Ministry positions.
We are a close family and often get together for Sunday dinners and fishing trips to our camphouse on the river. I am most grateful that in the moment of your difficult situation, God's grace was extended to me through your precious loved one. God bless and comfort you is my prayer. I welcome correspondence or personal contact but at the same time I have the deepest respect for your privacy in your time of grief.
I hope you feel a sense of continuing life and love through your gift of sight for which I will be FOREVER GRATEFUL.
On that May 2006 morning, I had walked out to the hospital's parking lot to start telephoning his children to break the news that their Dad had unexpectedly passed away. I had been pacing in the parking lot for several minutes, while making the phone calls, when one of the nurses motioned from the doorway for me to come back into the hospital. It was then that they asked me if I wanted to sign the "O.K" for Ronald to be a donor. If I had gone ahead and drove back home sooner, instead of staying in the parking lot, we all would have missed this special opportunity to become donor/recipient.
Before it was "fashionable" to be a donor, I contacted the Alabama Lions Club Eye Bank to receive an Eye Will card. I still have that Eye Will card, which is dated September 1980, in my billfold next to my driver's license. Someday I hope that I will be a donor too.
Many years ago, long before my husband's death, I thought about "What if I lost my sight, or my
hearing, or my speech? If I could pick ONE to KEEP, which one would I prefer?" I have chosen SIGHT. Sight is priceless. I enjoy sitting in the rocking chair on the front porch and watching the creatures' and birds' movements. I enjoy watching my grandchildren grow and mature on a daily basis. My favorite time of the day is from daybreak and then for the next couple of hours; nature seems so fresh and reborn.
Five years have now passed. It is a milestone on me becoming a widow, finding a different way to live without the husband I once had. It is a milestone for you in receiving the transplant. I am very glad in just knowing that someone, somewhere, benefited.
I apologize for not knowing what to expect from a cornea transplant, but I pray that all has gone well for you. I do understand that there is always a possibility that the transplant may be rejected, that's ok, I am still interested in hearing from you and how you are now. I would be very grateful.
Hope to hear from you.

TMZ has learned that NBA All-Star forward Richard Jefferson is under investigation by Minneapolis cops for allegedly choking a clubgoer -- then threatening to kick another guy's ass.
We've obtained the incident report filed by security at the Graves 601 Hotel. According to one witness, Jefferson got in a "minor verbal disagreement" which escalated to the point where Jefferson was on top of the patron, allegedly choking him.
Minneapolis PD tells us Jefferson is under investigation for "assault with significant bodily harm." No charges have yet been filed.
A rep for the Nets tells TMZ, "We have no comment."

Selznick's book is wonder to fall into. It actually tells the story in both words and pictures. NOT illustrations of the story, but the great pencil drawings ARE the story, for about half the book! If you have seen the film - I believe that the 'look' was directly taken from the wonderful images, themselves. This is a good book for adults and children alike. Highly recommended.

In the picturesque town of Paris, we find a young orphan, Hugo Cabret, working at a railway station. Following in the path of his family, he works as a clock master at the station, and he endlessly tinkers with the innerworkings of machines. At the young age of six, he could fix toys, clocks, and anything with gears inside. Now armed with his late father's notebook of scribbles and notes, he intends to take on his biggest project ever... fixing a very special automaton. As Hugo struggles to survive on his own, trying to remain unseen while keeping the railway's clocks ticking, an old toymaker, whose booth is nearby, intervenes -- he and his god-daughter, Isabelle. And the very thing that Hugo needs the most is stolen from him. On his search to take it back, he and his new friend uncover a secret, long since buried, that will capture and warm the hearts of many. In the age of black-and-white movies, film reels, train whistles, wind-up clocks, and other special trinkets and gadgets of long ago... you'll discover wonderment right alongside Hugo Cabret. Go on. READ THIS BOOK. (By the by, the audiobook version is of fantastic quality. It has extra sound effects that add so much character to the listening of the book.)
Jan 13, 2012
Somewhat predictably typical children's story that portrays an abandoned talented child versus the world of the obtuse, sometimes abusive and misguided adult of the past century, but who eventually comprehend the scope of the child's situation and a happy ending ensues. Part of the story is in pictures, which makes it nice for children and unusual that it is in black and white very good pencil drawings.

Great book, I bought it for my grandaughter and I was reading from it every night, she became so interested that, started reading it by herself.
Jan 4, 2010
The curtains open and you are in Paris, France and you meet a young boy named Hugo Cabret, who is trying to keep a secret from the people that are surrounding him. Hugo is a twelve year old boy that lives in a train station and sets the clocks every day. Hugo meets Isabelle and Papa Georges within the train station in the most unforgettable place. The characters will become almost lifelike and seem like your own friends. These characters will go through some journeys through their friendship and it will make you wonder what will happen as you turn the page. This book has a very unique style to it. The book is over 500 pages long, which I wasn?t sure about at first, but then I quickly discovered this book drags you in when you start reading it. The book has a lot of pictures and it also has text when the pictures just do it justice. This book is part wordless book, part textual book, and it makes you think that you are at a movie theater watching the book play out right in front of you. When you are finished with the book you will continue to ask for more. Brain Selznick, the author of this wonderful book, did a great job with putting this book together. His pictures are so brilliant. The pictures are all in black and white and it really makes the book come to life. What I really enjoyed about this book was you are reading text about how Hugo found something and then the next page is a picture of what he had found. Then the following page is about why that is important. I really enjoy that the book is place in a way that you read but you can also see the actions unfold in front of your eyes. I would highly recommend this book for any adult and older child. This book lets your imagination run wild and you right in Hugo?s shoes. You just can?t wait to turn the page to see what will happen next to this young boy. This book is divided into two sections and when you finish the first section you can?t help but start the last section! I didn?t realize how captivated I got with this book until it was finished. There aren?t many books that I would want to keep rereading but this is one book I would reread over and over again. When I finished the book I couldn?t believe it was over, it completely captivated every part of me, and left me there filled with wonder of what would continue to happen if the story kept going. The characters seemed to be alive and it seemed as if you were part of the story. I have never seen a book put together like this, and I do think Brain Selznick stepped up the bar for all children?s books. I think it would be hard to outdo this book.

Summary: On a beautiful spring day, March 25, 1911, workers were preparing to leave the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York's Greenwich Village when a fire started. Within minutes it consumed the building's upper three stories. Firemen who arrived at the scene were unable to rescue those trapped inside. The final toll was 146--123 of them women. It was the worst disaster in New York City history until September 11, 2001. Harrowing yet compulsively readable, Triangle is bo ...show moreth a chronicle of the fire and a vibrant portrait of an entire age. Waves of Jewish and Italian immigrants inundated New York in the early years of the century, filling its slums and supplying its garment factories with cheap, mostly female labor.
Protesting their Dickensian work conditions, forty thousand women bravely participated in a massive shirtwaist workers' strike that brought together an unlikely coalition of socialists, socialites, and suffragettes. Von Drehle orchestrates these events into a drama rich in suspense and filled with memorable characters. Most powerfully, he puts a human face on the men and women who died, and shows how the fire dramatically transformed politics and gave rise to urban liberalism. ...show less

Sydney's newest school of pharmacy, UTS: Pharmacy, was officially launched by Vice Chancellor Ross Milbourne on Tuesday 29 November at an on campus event.
The launch followed the inaugural meeting of the UTS: Pharmacy National Academic Advisory Committee. The committee is chaired by Pharmaceutical Society of Australia Past President Warwick Plunkett and has been established to provide high level strategic advice on the needs of industry, government, the profession and the community. It includes pharmacy leaders from a variety of disciplines:
- Peter Barclay, Director of Pharmacy, Westmead Children's Hospital
- Kim Bessell, Assistant Secretary and Principal Pharmacy Advisor, Department of Health and Aging
- Catherine Bronger, General Manager, ChemistWorks
- Stephen Greenwood, Principal Consultant, Greenwood Government Relations and Political Correspondent, Australian Journal of Pharmacy
- Martin Cross, CEO, Alphapharm and Chairman of the Generics Medicines Industry Association
- Margaret Duguid, Pharmaceutical Advisor, Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care
- Mark Fladrich, Managing Director, Astra Zeneca Australia and New Zealand
- Brendan O'Loughlin, Owner, O'Loughlin's Medical Pharmacy
- George Savvides, CEO, Medibank
In his address to launch the school, Vice Chancellor Ross Milbourne said that the graduate-entry Master of Pharmacy program had experienced strong demand.
"Applications for the Master of Pharmacy program have outnumbered places available by 3 to 1. It is a testament to the quality of the UTS offering and the market need for practice-based education in pharmacy."
Professor Shalom Benrimoj also gave an address, explaining that the service orientation and practice-based nature of the program was key to attracting students.
"We've been inundated with applications and the best thing is they're high quality applications." Professor Benrimoj said. "When we've spoken to the applicants, they tell us that they like that we're practical and that we're looking to the future of pharmacy and the expanded roles that are emerging. Our positioning as practice-based and producing graduates who are fit for purpose and service provision was the thing that really attracted them."
Professor Benrimoj went on to say that the success of the school's launch has been boosted by the positive response from the profession and practitioners and the recruitment of talented academics who are passionate about both research and teaching.
"The support we've received from practitioners and the profession has been fantastic. There has been a lot of buzz and positive feedback from across the profession and we're looking forward to working closely with the profession as we become more established."
"Central to this process has been my team of extremely talented academics. They have international reputations in both their areas of research and in teaching and learning and they have already developed a research intensive culture where the focus is on high impact research and making sure the curriculum is research led. They're producing programs of research and coursework that are of the highest quality and will be instrumental in our continued success."
The School's first cohort of graduate entry Master of Pharmacy students will commence in 2012.

To the men who killed him, Julio Rivera was apparently just a gay man upon whom they could inflict their hate. But to the residents of Jackson Heights, Rivera was the catalyst who would propel them to enact positive changes within their community.
Early morning on July 2, 1990, Rivera was leaving Friends Tavern, a local gay bar, when he was violently beaten and stabbed to death in a playground by three men affiliated with the gang called Doc Martin Skinheads. According to testimony cited in The New York Times, Daniel Doyle, 21, Erik Brown, 21, and Esat Bici, 19 were hunting for a "drug dealer or a drug addict or a homo out cruising" to use their hammer and knife on.
Doyle, who delivered the fatal blow, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and became the chief witness against his two accomplices. Bici and Brown were also convicted but the decision was later reversed due to procedural errors. While Brown eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter, Bici fled after being released on bail. In 2002, he was found shot to death in Mexico.
The New York Times called Rivera an "unlikely martyr" for the effect his death had on uniting gay advocacy groups. He was a 29-year-old bartender and drug user whom friends saw as unhappy. His death came at a time when supporters for Doyle could shout out gay slurs as Rivera's boyfriend entered the courtroom at Doyle's trial and when politicians didn't want to take pictures with the gay community, as Councilman Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) recalls. And yet, now the Latino gay community had someone who represented them and whose tragic death could be used to spread awareness about gay rights.
Since the killing, gay advocacy groups such as the Queens Pride House and the Queens Center for Gay Seniors have sprouted up in Queens, adding to its great diversity. And while politicians may have been reluctant to stand with the gay community 20 years ago, today there are two openly gay elected officials in the borough, one of them, Dromm. Queens County also had the second highest number of elected officials voting in favor of the marriage equality bill when it passed in Albany in 2011.
Three years after the murder, Dromm founded the first Queens Pride Parade in Jackson Heights. He recalls seeing police on the rooftops at the first parade as a precaution. That year, attendance was uncertain. It came at a period when the councilman, then a teacher, was advocating the Rainbow Curriculum, which sought to address homosexuality in public schools. The controversial program and the murder "galvanized the community to say, 'That's it. We're not going to take it anymore, we're going to stand up for ourselves,'" said Dromm. Twenty years later, the parade continues to grow bigger and stronger with about 40,000 in attendance, making it the second- largest pride parade in the city.

Former Spokane interim police chief now on leave
A former Spokane interim police chief has been placed on indefinite leave.
The Associated Press
A former Spokane interim police chief has been placed on indefinite leave.
Police spokeswoman Jennifer DeRuwe (De-ROO) tells the Spokesman-Review ( http://is.gd/zpHRLM) that Chief Frank Straub placed Scott Stephens on administrative leave on Dec. 20. That was one day before the chief announced that Stephens would head the department's efforts to earn state accreditation.
DeRuwe said Stephens was on leave due to an internal issue, not a criminal one. She declined to offer details.
Stephens has been with the Spokane Police Department since 1984.
Mayor David Condon named him interim chief in January 2012 following the departure of former Chief Anne Kirkpatrick.

He has played a major role in the work going on in preparation for Celebration 25, helping me with our schedule, donating a very very gracious item to each of our attending members and of course, helping us with our charity event by setting us up with the Dream Team. Lou's involvement in Celebration 25 is definitely one of those things I give credit to when I look at the jump in registrants we have had since he, John and I did our interview on the Mousetimes podcast (at the time, we had 450 attendees-now we have 1000).

Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition
This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2013) |
The Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition was an expedition that ran from 1872–74 and discovered Franz-Josef Land. According to Julius von Payer, one of the leaders, its purpose was to find the north-east passage. It actually explored the area northwest of Novaya Zemlya. According to the other leader, Karl Weyprecht, the North Pole was a secondary target. The estimated total costs of 175,000 florins were financed by Austro-Hungarian nobles. The two main financial contributors were Count Johann Nepomuk Wilczek (1837–1922) and Hungarian Count Ödön Zichy (1811–1894)
The main ship was the Tegetthoff, named for the Austrian Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff, under whom Weyprecht served. The ship was built by Teklenborg & Beurmann in Bremerhaven. It was a three-masted schooner of 220 tons, 38.34 m long, with a 100 horsepower (75 kW) steam engine. The crew came from all over Austria-Hungary, especially from Istria and Dalmatia.
The Tegetthoff with her crew of 24 left Tromsø, Norway in July 1872. At the end of August she got locked in pack ice north of Novaya Zemlya and drifted to hitherto unknown polar regions. While drifting, the explorers discovered an archipelago which they named Franz-Josef Land after Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I.
In May 1874 boat captain Weyprecht decided to abandon the ice-locked ship and try to return by sledges and boats. On 14 August 1874 the expedition reached the open sea and later Novaya Zemlya where they were rescued by a Russian fishing vessel. On 3 September they reached the town of Vardø in Northern Norway.
The expedition returned to Austria by train from Hamburg. On the journey they were invited to dinner parties hosted by different German geographical societies. They entered Vienna in triumph, welcomed, according to contemporary newspaper reports, by hundreds of thousands of people. [1]
The expedition's discoveries and experiences made a significant contribution to polar science, especially the discovery of the Northeast passage by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld. They also gave an impetus to International Polar Years, meaning a shift from sports-like races of single expeditions to worldwide scientific cooperation in exploring the polar regions.
The expedition yielded various results in the fields of meteorology, astronomy, geodesy, magnetism, zoology, and sightings of Aurora Borealis. They were published by the Academy of Sciences in 1878. There is a book (The Austro-Hungarian North Pole Expedition 1872-74) and paintings by Payer - probably the only paintings of a polar expedition created by the explorer himself.
The expedition was selected as the main motif for the Austrian Admiral Tegetthoff Ship and The Polar Expedition commemorative coin minted on June 8, 2005. The reverse side of the coin shows two explorers in Arctic gear with the frozen ship behind them.

Melissa Cox & Mythica return for second Oahu tour | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Information provided by: M3 Entertainment
Award-winning singer/songwriter Melissa Cox and her band Mythica will return to Oahu for their second annual tour from March 24 - April 1. The East Coast-based singer and band first came onto the Oahu scene in Spring 2011 when they co-headlined the Hawaiian Scottish Festival at Kapiolani Park. This year, the four-piece group will appear at the festival again on the heels of Cox's newly released album "Harmonious Maladies." "We absolutely loved performing in Oahu in 2011, and we cannot wait to return for an even better tour this March," Cox says. "We are excited to reveal our new music to our fans on the island." Self-dubbed "Celtic fusionists," Melissa Cox and Mythica combine haunting vocals with violin, guitar, mandolin, whistles, bass, and percussion to create a sound that Sing Out! Magazine called "a cross between Grace Slick and Loreena McKennitt."
Not easily categorized under one genre, Cox and her band mates Erin Flynn, Matt Smith, and John Lindsay frequently cross over the boundaries of Celtic music to dabble in styles such as funk, Hawaiian, progressive, and jam infused with elements of chicha, or South American surf rock. Their unique sound has won them national acclaim, songwriting awards, and opportunities to share the stage with Smash Mouth, Spin Doctors, Sister Hazel, Three Dog Night, Tom Chapin, Cyril Neville, and many others.

Time for another review of Dolly Wink eyelashes! I'm gonna show you my absolutely favourite eyelashes from Dolly Wink. Let's start from the packaging.
Did I say before I like old packagings more than new? In my opinion new ones are just totally boring (flowers and smaller photo of Tsubasa...) Inside you'll find small instruction how to properly apply or remove your eyelashes and also a pic of Tsubasa eyes before and after applying eyelashes.
You'll get small size glue with every pack of eyelashes. It's a regular clear type of Dolly Wink glues, works quite nice so I ordered a full size version a few days ago~ I think you can use this sample a few times for sure. (I don't know if they enclose glue in new packagings, I didn't have any eyelashes in new packaging!)
Packaging: 5/5
Used one on top LOL. |
In my opinion Dolly Wink eyelashes are the most precisely done eyelashes I've ever seen. They look extremely natural comparised to other brands. They're really soft but also quite delicate so you have to be gentle when you want to remove glue from the band which is flexible by the way so eyelashes are highly comfortable, you can easily forget about fact you're wearing them. Maybe that's why I wear them really often. Design is pretty cool, fits natural, dolly or dramatic look
How about price? Well, thats pretty funny but it depends on where you buy it but usually you can find them for 18$. It's not tempting price because there are only 2 pairs in package. Anyway I think it's worth it because of how beautiful and comfortable are Dolly Wink eyelashes.
Comfort: 5+/5
Design: 5/5
Price: 4/5
Dolly Wink No. 2 Sweet Girly on top. |
To sum up, this eyelashes are one of my favourite upper lashes, also it's my favourite design from Dolly Wink. Maybe price is too much for 2 pairs but it's totally worth it!
Overall: 5/5

Hopefully someone can help me. I have a large Agave cactus in my front yard that is infested with Bermuda Grass. Is there anything that I can apply to kill the grass but not the cactus? Weeding by hand is literally impossible with this cactus. (too many band aids) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is it possible that you could "wick" glyphosate onto actively growing Bermuda around your agave? Wear rubber gloves and mop the diluted product onto the Bermuda with a saturated rag, being careful not to touch the agave. Some plants actually have a surface cutin that is waxy and prevents penetration by the product and prevents damage, but I am not sure if agave is one. Get the Bermuda as close as you can without touching it. hortster |

First Known Use of TABLE
noun \ˈtā-bəl\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of TABLE
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Article of furniture used in the Western world since at least the 7th century BC, consisting of a flat slab of stone, metal, wood, or glass supported by trestles, legs, or a pillar. Though tables were used in ancient Egypt, Assyria, and Greece, only during the Middle Ages, with the growing formality of life under feudalism, did tables increasingly take on social significance. Tables with attached legs appeared in the 15th century. The draw top was invented in the 16th century, making it possible to double the table length. Increasing contact with the East in the 18th century led to increasing specialization in the design of occasional tables.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 2
Posted By: heidiDate: January-29, 1998 at 11:17:02
In Response To: Re: Purpose of avoidance (J Butler)
Dr. D's remark about oats also specified "no inflammatory problems." Look how large/long a book ER4YT is now, and imagine if all the refining details we've learned on this site were included! We're talking the OED!
I need to remember that most people who bought the book saw "diet" and thought "weight loss diet." Obesity is a pervasive condition, most particularly in the U.S., and it is a more serious one than many of us realize. If you read the first page of each blood type's diet, you will see a preponderance of "gain weight/lose weight" advice, so you shouldn't be surprised that the diet leans toward weight loss.
As with anything, each individual has to find his way within advice that had to be general to a certain extent in order to help the greatest number of people. I have found resources on this site, and been referred to others by folks here, which have allowed me to find the principles of my own ideal lifetime diet. The more I adhere to the habit of eating this way, the less I need to think about it and the more productive I am.
Munching peacefully,

Joshua Bell, Performing Selections from "The Red Violin," by John Corigliano
A violinist. A child prodigy made good. A winner of a Grammy and a Mercury Prize. A close approximation to an international superstar. "There's a reason our music is called classical. People aren't listening to it because it's trendy; they're listening to it because it has stood the test of time. It'll never go out of style; it'll always be current; it'll always be now."
In a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post Magazine story from April 2007, violinist Joshua Bell played at a D.C. Metro stop during rush hour to test if commuters would stop to watch a world-class musician perform.

Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe Wiki Guide
What is Marvel Studios?
Based in Manhattan Beach, California, Marvel Studios is a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment and a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney. While starting with individual films as Marvel Films from 1993 to 1996, Marvel soon changed the name to Marvel Studios and restarted with 2008's Iron Man. Due to its widespread box office success and popularity, the idea of a cohesive cinematic universe known officially as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, came to fruition. This led to the creation of numerous films all leading up to 2012's massive blockbuster team-up film, The Avengers. The MCU continues to grow and expand into new territories, with everything from its native comics format, or even live-action television.

CAIRO - Breaking down stereotypes and assumptions around Muslim women in Ireland, a new drama would be staged next year in Dublin to submit personal and true stories of successful veiled Muslim women.
"Over 49,000 Muslims now call Ireland home. They are playing a positive role in our society and are active in every part of Irish life, Denise Charlton, CEO of the Immigrant Council of Ireland, said in a statement published on the council's website on Monday, November 26.
The aim of this production is to reflect that reality and to breakdown misconceptions which people may have about the Muslim community.
The Hijabi Monologues
Amina Muslim Women's Resource Center in Glasgow
The drama, entitled the 'Hijabi Monologues', will take to the stage in the Axis Theatre in Ballymun, Dublin, in the new year.
Preparing the Dublin performance, Muslim women were invited to submit storylines for a new theatre production.
It is hoped the play will break down stereotypes about the Muslim community.
We are now asking women, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, those who wear the hijab and those who do not to come forward and tell us their stories, Charlton added.
We believe they will offer experiences which women of other faiths and of no faith will relate to.
It is these experiences which will define 'Hijabi Monologues' in Ireland and hopefully provide a platform for Ireland to explore issues which have caused division and conflict in other parts of Europe."
Ireland is home to some 50,000 Muslims, making up about 1 percent of the total population.
Islam sees hijab as an obligatory code of dress, not a religious symbol displaying one's affiliations.
Successful Women
Shifting the focus from hijab, the theatrical performance would be shedding light on the effect successful Muslim women have in the Irish society.
Through the 'Hijabi Monologues' we want to shift the focus away from the headscarf and instead focus on the women who make up the diverse Irish Muslim community Charlton, CEO of the Immigrant Council of Ireland, said.
We will reflect their wide-ranging views on faith, education, class, Irish life and many other areas.
The production - supported by the Immigrant Council and the British Council - is based on the successful 'Hijabi Monologues' already successful in the US over the past 6 years.
We are proud to have brought 'Hijabi Monologues' to Ireland and to be developing it further with the Immigrant Council of Ireland, Liz McBain of the British Council said.
We are especially pleased to help make connections between community groups and arts organizations in Ireland, Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK," she added.
