Mrs. Julia Harriet Moss Mills, 1836-1913
Mrs. Julia Harriet (Moss) Mills, 1836-1913, was the wife of Wildman Mills, 1831-1894. A lovely biographical sketch of Julia is found on page 183 of the book PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF SANILAC COUNTY, (Chapman Brothers, 1884). A transcription of this sketch is found below:
Mrs. Julia H. (Moss) Mills was born Oct 2, 1836, at West Burlington, Otsego Co., N. Y. She is the daughter and only surviving child of Truman Moss and was married to Wildman Mills in the village where she was born, Dec. 27, 1858. Five children constitute the issue of this union, three of whom are deceased. They were born in the following order: Elizabeth Moss was born Sept. 28, 1861; Truman Moss was born July 2, 1866, and died Nov. 7 of the same year; Isaac Augustus, born Oct. 4, 1867, died Feb. 10, 1869; Wildman Ambler was born July 2, 1872, and died on the first day of September following; Julia Harriet was born Nov. 7, 1866. The daughters survive. The same fatality which deprived Truman Moss of his sons seems to have pursued the male children of his daughter, all of them dying in infancy.
Mrs. Mills is the lady Bountiful of Croswell. She has been a partaker and sharer in all the joys and griefs of its people. She has rejoiced in their well being and prosperity, and has sorrowed with them when affliction has laid upon them its merciless rod. She has been ever ready with her resources of kindness, of sympathy, of counsel, to aid as occasion has required. The sick and dying have been the grateful recipients of her sympathetic ministrations, and she has guided all her social relations with a solicitude and judgment which has created for her an influence that cannot be portrayed with words. It is best understood in the regrets which her absence from Croswell creates, and in the warmth of the welcome which greets her return.
Wildman Mills died in 1894, and he was buried in Oakland Cemetery in Sandusky, Ohio. Mrs. Julia Mills died in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on January 19, 1913. Her remains were brought to Sandusky, and she was buried next to her husband in the family lot at Oakland Cemetery.
A simple cross adorns the front of the tombstone of Julia Harriet Mills.

Solomon M. Schlenk, 1867-1909
Solomon M. Schlenk was the son of Solomon and Mary Schlenk, born on April 24, 1867. In 1880, the elder Solomon Schlenk listed his occupation as hotel keeper in Sandusky, Ohio. The "Schlenk House" was located at 823 Market Street in the late 1880s, according to HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY, OHIO, edited by Lewis Cass Aldrich. Christian Schlenk, the older brother of Solomon M. Schlenk, once served as the superintendent of Sandusky's Oakland Cemetery. On September 21, 1899, Solomon M. Schlenk married Mary "Mollie" Larkins in Franklin County, Ohio. Solomon M. Schlenk died on January 14, 1909, when he was aged forty one, leaving Mollie a widow. Solomon M. Schlenk was buried in the family lot at Oakland Cemetery. Mollie went on to marry John J. Weis as her second husband.

Sentimental Sunday: Bronzed Baby Shoes from 1951
After I grew out of my first baby shoes, my mother had them bronzed. I recall that they originally were attached to a picture frame, but the frame did not survive. One shoe had my first name inscribed on it.
On the other shoe was my date of birth.
Well over fifty years old, these poor old shoes are quite worn and dusty, but I appreciate my parents' sentiment in preserving them! My mother was very sentimental, and she kept special cards, school projects, and decades of photograph albums. Our family's heritage is richer because Mom was such a "keeper." Thanks Mom!
Below is a picture of me and my parents from 1952. From that year forward, for many years, Mom had a family photo taken for our annual Christmas cards.

Any feedback you can share, will be appreciated. In regards to my experiences, I haven't run into any quality issues, but I have not run anything higher than 720. I put an SSD, that came with it, and 2GB of ram and haven't had any issues. If this is like that box, i'd definitely consider picking it up. |

By Martin Bailey. Web onlyPublished online: 01 November 2012
The row between China and Japan over disputed Pacific islands has had a negative impact on Shanghai's newest museum, leaving part of its latest show consisting of nothing but lights and empty walls.
In October the China Art Palace, set in what was the China pavilion in the 2010 World Expo, was inaugurated with an ambitious exhibition entitled "Congratulations from the World". Bemused visitors at the opening found that works on loan from the Kitano Museum of Art in Nagano City had been removed at the last minute (it is unclear whether by the Chinese or the Japanese). This was because of rising tensions over the ownership of the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands, which lie between the two countries. Other lenders to the "Congratulations from the World" exhibition are the British Museum, New York's Whitney Museum, Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, the Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris, the Museo Nacional de San Carlos in Mexico City and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

The same could be said about any country. And don't even begin to try to tell me that every other country is so well off. People across seas hear America is doing incredibly badly, when it's really not that bad, and people there hear that people across seas are living in a new Eden, when they're really just doing okay.

We'd like to think Jesse Pinkman is hanging out in some dive bar in Anchorage enjoying his new life, but if you look at Breaking Bad's finale honestly and realistically … creator Vince Gilligan notes that probably didn't actually happen.
"My personal feeling is that he got away," Gilligan said to GQ magazine, echoing what he told us previously. But then Gilligan had to add: "But the most likely thing, as negative as this sounds, is that they're going to find this kid's fingerprints all over this lab and they're going to find him within a day or a week or a month. And he's still going to be on the hook for the murder of two federal agents."
Fingerprints in the lab! Of course … Pinkman should have torched the lab before he rage-crashed out the gate. But you can hardly blame the guy for not wanting to spend another second in that compound where he worked as a meth-slave. Aw, what a bummer coda….
Gilligan tried to reassure: "But yeah, even though that's the most likely outcome, the way I see it is that he got away and got to Alaska, changed his name, and had a new life. You want that for the kid. He deserves it." READ FULL STORY

Man Convicted In Arkansas Family's Death Gets Hearing
A hearing has been scheduled for an Oklahoma man on federal death row for the 1996 slaying of an Arkansas family as part of a conspiracy to create a whites-only nation in the Pacific Northwest.
Danny Lee of Yukon, Okla., was convicted of murder in aid of racketeering and was sentenced to death. His attorneys are challenging evidence presented during sentencing that suggested Lee was a psychopath and dangerous to others.
Prosecutors accused Lee and Chevie Kehoe of killing a Pope County gun dealer, his wife and 8-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors alleged the men wanted to steal the dealer's guns to start an army and establish a white supremacist nation.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports a Jan. 31 hearing is set on Lee's request to have his death sentenced overturned.

So in an attempt to inject some reality into these photos, Matthew did the only thing he could think of, he injected myself by photobombing the crap out of them.

Set among the scenic hills, lakes and forests of the Central Highlands, Daylesford and Hepburn Springs form the 'spa centre of Victoria', a fabulous year-round destination where you can soak away your troubles and sip wine by the fireside. The health-giving properties of the area's mineral springs were first claimed back in the 1870s, attracting droves of fashionable Melburnians. The well-preserved and restored buildings show the prosperity of these towns, as well as the lasting influence of the many Swiss-Italian miners who came to work the tunnel mines in the surrounding hills.
These days the Daylesford region is one of Victoria's favourite boutique weekend getaways – even if you don't indulge in a spa treatment, there are plenty of great walks, a fabulous foodie scene and remnants of an arty, alternative vibe. The local population is an interesting blend of hippies and old-timers, and there's also a thriving gay and lesbian scene here. During the week some businesses close so it's best to visit Thursday to Sunday.

Isuzu Trooper
sbcooke Posts: 2,297I was looking into my wheel well this weekend and noticed some rust on the frame...mostly black original paint, but some surface rust starting to form.
What do people think about this? Should I just expect it to rust for the next 10 years and not worry about it or should I be agressively sanding and painting? -
bsmart1 Posts: 377I wasn't attempting to be 'snotty' in my reply. Tidester had already posted the answer, I was merely saying if you wanted to see more on the subject you could do the search. I guess Tidesters reply had disappeared or something.
Rust on the frame or on the body panel?? If its on the frame I wouldn't worry about it. That metal will last longer that we will with a little rust on it. Body panels won't last long if they are rusting. I wouldn't sand and pain body panels, I'd treat them with a rust inhibiting agent and paint them. -
bsmart1 Posts: 377on original 99' Trooper brakepads. I changed my front pads this weekend at about 67K miles and they still have about 1/4 thickness left. I'm not one to ride the brakes and I do a lot of in town driving, so I was surprised about the longevity of these pads. I got OEM pads from St. Charles to replace them, since they had performed so well.
bsmart1 Posts: 377
wantsatrooper Posts: 2Has anyone replaced or had their starter replaced and know how to remove it? I got caught in hurricane Alex, drove through a bunch of salt water, and now my starter is acting up. I took the truck to a starter place and they could get the starter unbolted, but could not get starter out without taking the exhaust apart, supposedly. Any info on how to remove a starter from a stock 99 Trooper?
boxtrooper Posts: 843I never put on manual hubs, just thought it might help for sbcooke since he suspects a TOD problem robbing his MPG. Manual hubs would allow him to prove if the front end is engaged and lowering his MPG or not.
Rust on the frame: I sold my 1984 Trooper in 1995 because the rear of the body was no longer attached to the rusty frame. I found out when crossing a ditch on the way to fishing. The drivers's side rear tire rubbed real bad on the wheel well, but the spring was not compressed much and the bumper not near contact. I noteced that the body and frame were far apart on the passenger side, allowing the axle to tilt abnormally and the tire to rub. The frame on the 1984 Trooper started out as a box with the fourth inside side welded on thinner metal. But by this time there was very little left of that fourth side of the frame. -
quickstep Posts: 12I think it's bout time for a brake job. I have a '02 trooper S with 38,600 miles. The rear brakes were screeching... it was easy to replace the pads and disks. Now comes the challenge, the front brakes are pulsing. Time for new rotors and pads. I got a diagram of all the parts involved in the front axle. This seems a bit more complex than the rear brakes, or a non 4 wheel drive vehicle. Has anyone done a front brake job for a '02 trooper? Looking forward to your suggestions.

sbcooke Posts: 2,297I had the neighbors kid in the car and the safety lock wasn't set...of course within 2 minutes he had the door open, fortunately we hadn't gone very far. I got out to flip the switch and the 3 year old pulled the handle while I did (not to mention had unbuckled his seat belt.
Now the door closes, but the inside door handle doesn't close all the way, and I cannot undo the child safety lock. When I try to push it up it hits something inside...has anyone fixed this before? I don't want to have to pull the door panel if I don't need to. -
boxtrooper Posts: 8432001 Trooper Battery Box is 12"L x 6 5/8"W x 8"H (8" tall at the holding bracket, the top posts stick up above the 8"). The battery size 27 is probably for starting a diesel since it is a big battery.
My Trooper was cranking very slowly, the original battery was probably a 36 month type and it has lasted 48 months already, so I did not wait until it would not start, I changed out the battery.
BCI Battery Size Chart
I went to BatteriesPlus and asked for an AGM (AGMs cannot leak because the acid is absorbed in a glass mat, they also have very low internal resistance so the difference between an AGM starting and AGM deep cycle is less than the difference for bucket-of-acid batteries) battery to fill the volume described above. I was sold a 100AH deep cycle battery that has 1000 CCA (typical car starting battery is 44AH and 650 CCA), and can source 300Amps for 5 minutes. -
bsmart1 Posts: 377when I ordered the front brake pads from them, the kit included all new spring clips, shims, baking plates and lubricant.
The front pad changeout on the 02' should not be different that the 99'. Its quite easy unless you are going to replace the rotors. If they are 'pulsing' it might be a warped rotor. -
bawbcat Posts: 118I did repace the standard hubs on my 98 trooper with manual ones. I didn't keep close track of the MPG change, but I think it's pretty small, maybe 0.5-1 MPG improvement. In addition to some small MPG improvement, manual hubs should provide some small improvement in acceleration and also reduce wear and tear on the front driveline. With the standard hubs (i.e. permamently locked), the front driveshaft and axles are always spinning, regardless of whether 4x4 is engaged. With manual hubs unlocked and 4x4 disengaged, the front driveshart and axles do not spin.
kevinm Posts: 9Hi all,
I've read all the past posts on changing the serpentine belt, even downloaded the diagram someone was kind enough to link to. Based on the diagram I started loosening one of the pulley bolts (see pic) almost until it fell off (not good). Did some more thinking, then asked a mechanically inclined friend to take a look. He showed me where he thought the tensioning arm should be loosened, but it appears you need socket that inserts into the opening rather than a typical socket that goes around a nut. Is that true? there is a nut that is visible but it only protrudes about 1/16" to an 1/8".
Take a look :
Thanks -
serranot Posts: 113You should not have to loosen any bolts. The tensioner is spring loaded. You can relieve the tension by placing the socket on bolt #2 and then pushing your ratchet clockwise. The tensioner should rotate enough to get the belt off. You may have to reposition your ratchet to get the best angle on the tensioner.

beer4704 Posts: 46125K today on a business trip to VA. Other than the tranny replaced at 111K (under warranty) and 2 tail light bulbs there have been no other repairs. There has been routine maintainence and MB1 oil changes every 10K. Brakes were done at 83K. Coolant at 70 something and 123K. Fuel filter at 70 something and 124K. Timing belt, water pump and tensioner at 103K. Serpentine belt done at 90 something. I hope I am not jinxing myself by saying so but this Trooper has been the best value I have ever had to date. Hopefully alternator, fuel pump and starter will hang in there awhile. I am hoping to put 200K on this 2K Trooper. This does have me thinking about a replacement vehicle but seeing how the note was recently retired, it will be nice not to have a payment for a while! Cheers to all!
beer4704 Posts: 46You are right about that! I would have a hard time justifing a repair of such large expense. It does burn a little oil between changes which is aggravating when you are using MB1 but it still runs rather well and has been very dependable. If something large goes kaput, maybe I could sell it for parts. Trade in isn't much on these things, especially, with high mileage. For now I'll keep "knockin' on wood". One thing I did notice this morning; my rear driver side window is going up slower than the other windows. Is there anything that can be done to lubricate, WD40 spray or something? Any ideas would be most appreciated. Cheers to all!

bluedevils Posts: 2,554Has anyone ever done this? I tried unsuccessfully to remove the smaller rear door on our 98 Troop yesterday. I backed into something (our minivan) and dented in the rear corner of our Troop, just above the taillight. It's a good-size dent but not huge - the crease is probably 4-6" across and the dent goes in probably 1-2". With the rear door removed, I could get right at the dent from the back side.
I removed 4 bolts securing the door, plus 2 more that are buried inside the cavity where the hinges reside. But the hinges and hardware didn't slide right out of their openings. I spent a good 30 minutes trying to jockey and jostle it out, but couldn't get it. It was hard to see in the openings to tell why it wasn't working.
I was able to feel the back side of the dent by removing the taillight and reaching up there with my hand, but there isn't enough clearance for a hammer or other tool that could bang out the dent.
I've never done any rudimentary 'body work' before and I am not looking for a perfect result, just looking for a way to reduce the size of the dent and make it less noticeable. Some of the paint scraped off, and I've already done an ugly touch-up paint job on the scrape. So it looks better than before, but I would like to reduce the dent without spending an arm and a leg.
The truck has almost 110,000 miles and I don't feel like spending several hundred bucks on cosmetic body work for a vehicle that's worth $5-6k at the most.

Earth in the Balance
Some contrast indeed from the turn of the century, when the brothers John C. and F.L. Olmsted Jr. came to town and the newspapers banner-headlined the planners' entrance. Leaders in creating the forebear of the American Planning Association in 1909, FLO Jr. and his peers spread their influence in the major works of the day. Landscape architects designed the sweeping parks and parkways, the residential communities and vast social, ecological and aesthetic undertakings that defined the nation.
This alliance dominated the early decades of the twentieth century, creating the better--and perhaps best--part of America's parks, parkways and public community spaces. The place- and parkmakers of the twenties, blending the landscape and planning professions, remain heroes of design today, their roots and skills happily blurred: John Nolen, idol of today's so-called New Urbanism; the Regional Planning Association, spirited by Lewis Mumford, its scribe, and shaped by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright at such sites as Sunnyside, Radburn and other residential communities; and Benton MacKaye, who planned and encouraged the Appalachian Trail, command respect and imitation. "By making nature urban, we naturalize the city," Lewis Mumford observed as their ideal. Together, such masterminds of the landscape wrote their signature across an all-too-brief period.
By the thirties, the Depression dominated. Though some projects and parkways still offered work to the profession on the public landscape, these marked a last flourishing. As the landscape profession became a gentlemanly one, given to adorning the estates of the wealthy, the engineers of the hour would come to overwhelm the built environment. Landscape architects would follow their hardscape highway and lose touch with the context and ecology of earlier days. Challenged by Modernism and engineering, deprived of public-project funds and powered by a growing enchantment to embellish the burgeoning corporate estates and residences in the suburbs, landscape architects saw their role in public service evaporate, their supremacy and public presence slide still further in the postwar years.
The loss of that public prominence and civic consciousness is the nation's loss. For at no time have these potential stewards and planners faced a nation in more desperate need of environmentally and aesthetically oriented guidance than in this hour. "We are today living in a machine age," landscape architect Jens Jensen observed in 1959, the year of the profession's sixtieth anniversary. "What is to follow no one knows, but there is one thing sure," he went on. "Nature will survive." Survive indeed, we wonder, in this era of vanishing greenness, in this year of the slipping definition of the seasons.
As "second nature," "toxic nature" and "threatened nature" slip off the tongue, the certainty of nature's resilience diminishes. Observing the erosion of our last-chance landscape, watching the rapacious geography of sprawl, losing habitat and species, citizens routinely indulge in what Harvard professor Lawrence Buell labels "toxic discourse." Rather than indulge or natter in their coffee cups, they act. The future-minded contemplate sea walls to secure New York from the rising tides of global warming, trash Monsanto's genetically altered "terminator" seeds to protect butterflies and landmark habitats for birds and bees; Americans are uneasy, and vocally so. As nature modified by humankind spits back floods and disasters resulting from climate change, and the planet's population of 6 billion stresses urban and wilderness habitats, the constituency grows. Witness the demonstrations in Seattle late last year, not to mention the 1999 elections, in which 72 percent of those voting favored some 240 local referendums to retain open space.
What "open" (versus designed and organized space) meant was unclear. And yet, though those hankering for greener space do not understand that landscape architects are space and placemakers, the literature of place is very much with us. "I have a dozen books with the word 'place,' on my shelf," Grady Clay, editor emeritus of Landscape Architecture magazine, remarks. Clay praises the new consciousness of his peers and notes the visibility of broader interests at the 100th-anniversary meeting, as well as the growth in the field. Landscape architect Peter Walker, founder of Spacemaker Press, describes the profession's posture as fortunate, lodged between two issues at the center of the nation's concerns: "preservation of agricultural and natural primordial land."
The rush to develop America's outback has indeed tied consciousness about farmland and wilderness to the wider issues of land use and land design that are the profession's mandate. Much as Olmsted (with Calvert Vaux) inspired the park movement with Central Park in 1857; much as Olmsted (with others) shaped the 1893 Chicago World's Fair that inaugurated the City Beautiful movement's far-reaching planning; and much as his disciple Charles Eliot expanded metropolitan considerations around the natural region, landscape architects should and could take on this mantle. They should and could grow beyond their constricted ambitions and modest reputations to replicate their ancestors' far-reaching stewardship.

Hamlet's Dresser A Memoir (Paperback)
Author: Bob Smith |
Learn more about Hamlet's Dresser:
Smith gracefully weaves the stories of his bittersweet childhood and his life's work with illuminating passages from Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. A brilliant reminder of the redemptive power of literature, it will make readers fall in love with Shakespeare again or for the first time. |
From the Publisher:
The true story of a boy whose life was saved by literature, Hamlet's Dresser is a portrait of a person made whole by art. Bob Smith's childhood was a fragile and lonely one, spent largely caring for his handicapped sister, Carolyn. But at age ten, his local librarian gave him a copy of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, and it transformed him. In Bob's first look at Shakespeare's penetrating language -- "In sooth I know not why I am so sad" -- he had found a window through which to view the world. Years later, when the American Shakespeare Festival moved into Stratford and Smith was hired as Hamlet's dresser, his life's passion took shape. Blending tragedy and comedy, Smith gracefully weaves together his childhood memories with his experiences backstage and teaching the plays. The result is a gorgeous, tender, infectious book about the restorative powers of literature and art. |
A Shakespeare aficionado since age 10, Smith shares his insights on how Shakespeare's plays relate to his own life.
"Smith's book is a fitting document on madness, thoughts and remembrance." - David Finkle 05/05/2002 Washington Post Book World
"[E]xcruciatingly candid...." - John F. Andrews 06/16/2002

Ultra X-Finity 2nd Gen 500w PSU w/ Active PFC
The unit itself isn't anywhere near as flash as the X-Connect. It has a more mature look to it. There are no windows or UV, not even LEDs, and the finish is simply a matt black. Once again, whether you like this is purely a matter of taste. I personally think this look is a more fitting look for a power supply. I'm not sure why, but Ultra decided to give the APFC model a completely different look to the other X-Finity 2nd gens, which all have highly polished and "bling" style finishes. This unit features an industrial theme.

Kitchens are for living in. One of the most well-used rooms in any house, and the heart of the home, a kitchen floor can take a beating. My own 100 year old hardwood floor is constantly trampled by kids and dogs and well used by me – a messy cook who writes recipes for a living – and it's time for something new. To help me decide what to install next, I took a peek into the kitchens of some local food and parenting bloggers, to see what they have, how durable it is, and whether or not they like it.

SoCalCookerGal's Note:
This is a great recipe to make on a cold rainy day! It makes the house feel warm and cozy. Its also nice to make when a loved one doesn't feel well. Its so much better than the canned stuff. This is one of my families favorites and another recipe I learned from my mom =)
My Private Note
Serves: 10-12
Units: US | Metric
- 1 (3 -4 lb) whole chickens
- 2 -4 tablespoons chicken bouillon
- 5 sliced carrots
- 3 sliced celery ribs
- 1 (16 ounce) egg noodles
- 1In a large stock pot place the cleaned whole chicken and fill the pot with GOOD water about 3 inches above the chicken. I also add a Bay leaf. Bring to a boil on high heat and continue boiling for about 1-1 1/2 hours until chicken is completely cooked.
- 2Remove the chicken and let it cool off and skim the broth for any bones or fat and remove.
- 3To the broth add the chicken bouillion and then add the vegetables.( I add mushrooms in place of the celery or sometimes just carrots. Use whatever vegetables you like).
- 4Let the vegetables cook until almost tender.
- 5While vegetables are cooking remove chicken from the bone and shred and add to the soup.
- 6When the vegetables have become tender add in the noodles.(I use Grandmas noodles which can be found in the frozen section usually near the frozed bread dough.) Wait for the noodles to completely cook and then the soup is done and ready to eat.
- 7You can add water anytime during the cooking stage if the water looks like it is boiling down too low. This is one of those recipes that you can make it your own.

US 5558629 A Abstract An implant for use in the treatment of glaucoma is disclosed wherein the implant comprises an elastomeric plate having a non-valved elastomeric drainage tube attached thereto. The plate is elliptical in-shape and curved so as to conform to the curvature of the eye. The plate is inserted into the eye in an incision made in the Tenon's capsule and sutured to the sclera. The drainage tube is tunnelled through the Tenon's capsule and cornea and inserted into the anterior chamber, thus providing patent fluid communication between the anterior chamber and the elastomeric plate. The flexible structure of the plate allows the plate to be easily inserted, thus reducing the surgical procedure length. In addition, the pliable material minimizes the risk of damage and trauma to surrounding tissues in the insertion process.
Claims(9) 1. A device for draining fluid from a first region of an eye to a second region of an eye, said device comprising:
a single thin elastomeric plate having oppositely-disposed first and second primary surfaces, each of said surfaces being disposed to provide contact between said first region of said eye and substantially all of said first and second surfaces of said plate to form a bleb in said first region of said eye around said plate when said device is implanted within said eye, said plate sufficiently flexible to conform to the patient's eye when the device is implanted in said eye; and a tube having a first end adjacent said first surface of said plate and a second end extendable into said second region of said eye to provide fluid communication between said first region of said eye and said second region of said eye. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein said single thin elastomeric plate includes at least one aperture for accepting sutures for attaching said device to eye tissue.
3. The device as defined in claim 1, wherein said single thin elastomeric plate and said tube are formed of silicone elastomer.
4. The device as defined in claim 3, wherein said silicone elastomer of said plate has hardness in the range of 40 to 85 Shore A.
5. The device as defined in claim 1, wherein said single thin elastomeric plate is radio-opaque.
6. The device as defined in claim 1, wherein the edge of said single thin elastomeric plate is blended smooth.

8. An implant for draining fluid an eye comprising:
a single thin carrier plate sufficiently flexible to conform with the outer surface of said eye such that substantially all of its surfaces are engageable with the surface of a first region of said eye; and a tube having a first end attached to a surface of said plate and extendable into a second region of said eye. 9. An implant for draining fluid from an eye, comprising:
a single thin elastomeric plate having first and second primary surfaces, configured such that substantially all of said first and second surfaces are engageable with a first region of said eye, said plate having sufficient resilience so that if said plate is folded flat against itself and released, said plate will return to its original, as-molded condition; and a tube having a first end attached to one of said first and second surfaces of said plate and a second end extendable into a second region of said eye to provide a fluid passage between said first and second regions of said eye. Description This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 531,010, filed May 31, 1990, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,178,604. The invention relates to ocular implants, and, in particular, to an implant used in the treatment of glaucoma. Aqueous is a clear, colorless fluid that fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye. The aqueous is formed by the ciliary body in the eye and is a carrier of nutrients for the lens. In addition, the aqueous provides a continuous stream into which surrounding tissues can discharge the waste products of metabolism. The aqueous produced in the ciliary processes circulates from the posterior chamber to the anterior chamber of the eye through the pupil and is absorbed through the trabecular meshwork, a plurality of crisscrossing collagen cords covered by endothelium. Once through the trabecular meshwork, the aqueous passes through Schlemm's canal and into venous circulation. The rate of aqeuous outflow through the trabecular meshwork in a normal eye is typically 2.1 μL/min. Intraocular pressure in the eye is maintained by the formation and drainage of the aqueous. All the tissues within the corneoscleral coat covering the eyeball are subject to this pressure, which is higher than pressure exerted on tissues at other locations in the body. Glaucoma is a progressive disease of the eye characterized by a gradual increase of intraocular pressure. This increase in pressure is most commonly caused by stenosis or blockage of the aqueous outflow channel, resulting in excessive buildup of aqueous fluid in the eyeball. Other causes include increase in venous pressure outside the eye which is reflected back through the aqueous drainage channels and increased production of aqueous. In a "normal" eye, intraocular pressure ranges from 4 to 12 mm mercury. In an eye with glaucoma, this pressure can rise to as much as 50 mm mercury. This increase in intraocular pressure produces gradual and permanent loss of vision in the afflicted eye. Existing corrective methods for the treatment of glaucoma include drugs, surgery, and implants. Miotic drugs lower intraocular pressure by facilitating aqueous outflow. Beta blockers, epinephrine products, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors which inhibit production of the aqueous, are also commonly used in pharmacological glaucoma treatment. Steroids have been used in long-term glaucoma treatment as well. However, pharmacological treatment is prohibitively expensive to a large majority of glaucoma patients. In addition, many people afflicted with the disease live in remote or undeveloped areas where the drugs are not readily accessible. The drugs used in the treatment, in particular the steroids, often have undesirable side effects and many of the long-term effects resulting from prolonged use are not yet known. Surgical procedures have been developed in an effort to treat victims of glaucoma. An iridectomy, removal of a portion of the iris, is often used in angle-closure glaucoma wherein there is an occlusion of the trabecular meshwork by iris contact. Removal of a piece of the iris then gives the aqueous free passage from the posterior to the anterior chambers in the eye. A trabeculotomy, opening the inner wall of Schlemm's canal, is often performed in cases of open-angle glaucoma so as to increase the outflow of the aqueous, thereby decreasing intraocular pressure. While often successful, these surgical techniques possess inherent risks associated with invasive surgery on an already afflicted eye. Furthermore, the tissue of the eye can grow back to the pre-operative condition, thereby necessitating the need for further treatment. Ocular implants are often used in long-term glaucoma treatment without the disadvantages of drugs and invasive surgery. One such implant is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,457,757 entitled "Device for Draining Aqueous Humor" and commercially available as the Molteno� Seton Implant. The implant comprises a drainage tube connected to one or more ridged plate reservoirs. The reservoir plates are designed to conform to the curvature of the eye. A reservoir plate is placed under Tenon's capsule and sutured to the sclera. The drainage tube is implanted into the anterior chamber through a scleral flap. A second plate can be implanted under the superior rectus muscle and sutured to the sclera. At this point, the body will form a tissue around these plates. Increased pressure causes the tissues above the plates to lift and form a bleb into which aqueous fluid from the anterior chamber drains via the drainage tube. Once inside the bleb, the aqeuous seeps into intercellular spaces and is removed by surrounding capillaries or lymhpatics. This type of implant is disadvantageous as the plates are formed of a rigid plastic which makes insertion beneath the eye tissue difficult and time-consuming. Furthermore, the rigid material poses a risk of irritation and/or damage to adjacent vasculature and tissue. UK Patent Application 2,160,778 entitled "Aqueous humor drainage device" discloses a similar type of implant device comprising a drainage tube and a drainage body. The tube is fixed to and opens directly onto a surface of the body. The device is sutured to the sclera of the eye and the tube positioned within the anterior chamber so as to provide outflow for the aqueous contained therein. The device further includes a pressure gradient limiting valve formed as a slit in the tube, however, this type of valve does not allow patent, i.e., open or two-way, flow through the drainage tube, thereby preventing retrograde aqueous flow into the anterior chamber. The present invention provides an implant for the treatment of glaucoma which can be easily inserted into an afflicted eye and which provides for patent flow between the implant and the anterior chamber of the eye. The implant comprises a single plate formed of a pliable, elastomeric material having a non-valved tube attached to and opening onto the upper convex surface of a first plate. The pliable plate is sutured to the sclera and covered by a thick flap of Tenon's capsule so as to be encapsulated within a drainage bleb. The attached tube is tunneled out through Tenon's capsule and in through the limbus so as to provide a drain for aqueous fluid. The exposed portion of the tube is covered by a scleral graft. Because of the pliable construction and shape, the device can be implanted much quicker than previously realized with other implants. This substantially shortens the time required to perform the surgical procedure. In a unique aspect of the invention, the plate is constructed so as to be radio-opaque. This allows the implant to be easily viewed by X-ray after surgery, advantageously allowing progress monitoring. A suture is placed around the drainage tube and knotted to close off the tube and prevent initial flow between the anterior chamber and elastomeric plate. Once bleb tissue formation is complete the suture is removed in a second surgical procedure. Alternatively, a dissolving suture can be used to secure the drainage tube. In an alternative embodiment, the device includes a dissolving plug contained within the drainage tube. The plug prevents the drainage of aqueous fluid until formation of the bleb is completed. Once bleb formation has occurred, the plug dissolves, allowing for unrestricted flow between the anterior chamber and bleb. Additional alternative embodiments are disclosed wherein the drainage tube comprises double lumen tubing having a primary lumen and a substantially smaller secondary lumen. The primary lumen is provided with a dissolving plug which prevents aqueous flow until bleb formation is complete. The secondary lumen is provided with a flow restrictor or valve to allow initial flow between the anterior chamber and bleb. In a further alternative embodiment, the drainage tube comprises first and second parallel drainage tubes fitted with a dissolving plug and flow restrictor. FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken vertically through the upper, frontal portion of the eye, and FIG. 2 is a schematic, perspective view of the eye, both illustrating the present invention implanted in a human eye; FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are perspective views illustrating the implant of the present invention; FIG. 5 is an alternative embodiment of the drainage tube; FIGS. 5a through 5d are cross-sectional views illustrating various configurations of the drainage tube of FIG. 5; FIG. 6 shows an additional alternative embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 7 illustrates a further embodiment of the implant. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate an implant 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention positioned within the tissue of an eye 12. The relevant structure of the eye 12 will be described briefly below so as to provide background for the anatomical terms incorporated herein, however, it should be realized that several anatomical details have been omitted for clarity of understanding. The tough outer membrane known as the sclera 14 covers all of the eye 12 except that portion covered by the cornea 16, the thin, transparent membrane which covers the iris 18 and the pupil 20. The cornea 16 merges into the sclera 14 at a juncture referred to as the limbus 22. The ciliary body 26 begins at the limbus 22 and extends along the interior of the sclera 14 and becomes the choroid 28. The choroid 28 is a vascular membrane which extends along the retina back toward the optic nerve. It is well-known that aqueous is produced by the ciliary body 26 and reaches the anterior chamber 30 formed between the iris 18 and the cornea 16 through the pupil 20. In a normal eye, the aqueous is removed through the trabecular meshwork 32. There the aqueous passes through Schlemm's canal 36 and through veins which merge with blood-carrying veins and into venous circulation. Intraocular pressure is maintained in the eye 12 by the intricate balance of secretion and absorption or outflow of the aqueous in the manner described above. Glaucoma results from excessive buildup of aqueous fluid in the anterior chamber 30 which produces an increase in indraocular pressure. The present invention is designed for treatment of glaucoma by facilitating the outflow of the aqueous in the anterior chamber 30 of the eye 12. The implant 10 comprises a pliable carrier plate 40 having oppositely disposed first and second curved surfaces connected to a drainage tube 42. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the carrier plate 40 is implanted in a first region of the eye 12 beneath a layer of Tenon's capsule 44 and sutured to the sclera 14. The discharge tube 42 comprises a first end 46 a second end 48 wherein the first end 46 is attached to the plate 40 adjacent the first surface of the plate the second end 48 of the tube 42 extends through the layer of Tenon'capsule 44 and through the cornea 16 into a second region of the eye 12 such as anterior chamber 30 of the eye 12 communication between the first region and the second region of the eye 12 covers the exposed portion of the tube 42 located between the Tenon's capsule 44 and the cornea 16. A large drainage bleb 52 surrounds the carrier plate 40 and lifts the layer of Tenon's capsule 44 above the sclera 14. The implant 10 is shown in more detail in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The carrier plate 40 is generally spherical in shape, and has a perimeter which is elliptical. The surface area of the plate 40 is preferably in the range of 100 to 600 mm2 depending on glaucoma condition and the radius of curvature of the plate is preferably 12 to 14 mm. The carrier plate 40 includes a raised ridge 56 formed adjacent one of the larger-radius perimeter edges of the ellipse, on a first curved spherical surface. The rounded edge of the plate 40 extending on either side of the raised ridge 56, not including that portion of the plate 40 adjacent the ridge 56, is entirely radiused, tapered, and blended so as to facilitate insertion as described below. A second inner surface of the carrier plate 40 is curved so as to conform to the curvature of the eye 12 and the curvature of the ridge 56 matches the curvature of the sclera 14. An extension 58 of the carrier plate 40 is formed adjacent the ridge 56 and includes two small suture holes 60, 62. The thickness of the plate 40 is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 mm. The drainage tube 42 is connected to the carrier plate 40 with adhesive, such as Clear Silicone Rubber Adhesive RTV-118 manufactured by General Electric Silicone Products of Waterford, N.Y., via a small hole 64 formed in the ridge 56 and is bonded to the plate 40 using well-known bonding techniques. The first end of the tube 46 thus drains into the recess formed at the junction of the ridge 56 and the smooth outer surface of the carrier plate 40. The plate 40 is preferably formed of silicone elastomer, such as SILASTIC�, Medical Grade Q7-4765, 65 Shore A, manufactured by Dow Corning Corporation of Midland, Mich., although other silicone elastomers in the range of 40-85 Shore A and having good elastic memory are also suitable. The silicone elastomer is filled with a radiopaque material, such as Barium Sulfate, so that the implant is visible in X-ray procedures, thereby allowing patient progress monitoring. The drainage tube 42 is preferably a 1.0 to 3.0 French flow tube, approximately 10 mm in length, formed of SILASTIC�, Medical Grade RX-50, also available from Dow Corning Corporation. The present invention can be implanted using known opthalmological surgical techniques and, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the surgical implant procedure will be briefly described. An initial incision 70 is made in the Tenon'capsule 44 proximal the limbus 22. The carrier plate 40 is inserted into the first region of eye 12 through this incision 70 and positioned beneath the Tenon's capsuIe 44 and a portion of the rectus muscle 72, thus covering the sclera 14. The carrier plate 40 can be sutured to the sclera 14, or alternatively to the rectus muscle 72 if a larger implant 10 is used, with the suture holes 60, 62. The drainage tube 42 is tunneled out through the Tenon's capsule 44 and in through the limbus 22 such that the second end 48 the tube 42 extends into a second region such as the anterior chamber 30 of the eye 12. The exposed portion of the drainage tube 42 is then covered with the scleral graft 50. The drainage tube 42 is sutured closed with a suture(s) 74 to prevent any drainage of aqueous prior to formation of the bleb tissue 52 over the carrier plate 40. The formation of the bleb 52 occurs in response to the introduction of the carrier plate 40 into the tissue of the first region of the eye 12. The bleb 52 comprises a thin layer of connective tissue which encapsulates the carrier plate 40 substantially all of the surfaces of the plate 40 contact the tissues in the first region of the eye 12, thus lifting the Tenon's capsule 44 above the sclera 14 as shown. Typically, bleb formation occurs in the range of 2 to 8 weeks postoperatively, at which time additional surgery can he performed to remove the suture 74 and allow flow of aqueous from the anterior chamber 30 to the bleb 52 via the drainage tube 42. Alternatively, a dissolving suture can he used to seal the drainage tube 42. After removal or dissolution of the suture 74 blocking the drainage tube 42 the aqueous flow between the tube 42 and bleb 52 is advantageously a patent flow, allowing for both flow from the anterior chamber 30 to the bleb 52 and vice versa. This ensures that retrograde flow from the bleb 52 to the anterior chamber 30, occurring in response to pressure on the eye 12 from the outside, for example, when the lid is forced closed or when the eyeball is pressed on with a finger, does not adversely or harmfully affect intraocular pressure within the eye 12. The fluid contained in the bleb 52 seeps through the bleb into intracellular spaces within eye 12 and is then removed through surrounding capillaries or lymphatics. The flexible, elastomeric material used to form the present invention and its elliptical shape allow the implant 10 to be inserted much more easily than previously realized with other glaucoma treatment implants. During the insertion process, the carrier plate 40 can be "folded" in half about the axis of the tube 42 and then inserted through the incision 70. Once placed through the incision 70, the carrier plate 40 will return to its original shape and can be positioned so as to cover the sclera 14, as described above. Further, the material from which the plate 40 is formed is soft and pliable, which results in much less trauma and irritation to the surrounding tissues and vasculature than experienced with a rigid plate device. In addition, since the plate 40 is folded, a smaller incision can be made in the Tenon's capsule 44. Thus, the pliable carrier plate 40 significantly decreases the surgical procedure length while also minimizing tissue and vasculature damage which can occur in the insertion process. In an alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, the drainage tube 42 is formed as double lumen tubing having a primary lumen 80 and a secondary lumen 82 substantially smaller than the primary lumen 80. A dissolving plug 84 is placed within the primary lumen 80 to ensure that the majority of aqueous flow does not begin until formation of the bleb 52 is complete. The secondary lumen 82 is provided with a flow restrictor, small valve, or filter 86 which allows for a small amount of initial aqueous flow during bleb formation. The dissolving plug 84 is preferably formed of Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA), Poly Vinyl Pyrolidone (PVP), enzymatically activated collagen, or other biomedically suitable materials whitish slowly dissolve, thus gradually permitting the flow of aqueous and relieving intraocular pressure. As shown in FIGS. 5a through 5d, a variety of primary and secondary lumen 80, 82 configurations are possible. Although four configurations are illustrated, one skilled in the art will recognize that various other embodiments could be constructed. Another alternative embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 illustrates an implant 88 having a carrier plate 40, a raised ridge 56, a plate extension 58, and suture holes 60, 62, essentially identical to that disclosed and shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and numbered correspondingly. The implant 88 is attached to the eye 12 in the same manner as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 so as to provide aqueous flow between the anterior chamber 30 and bleb 52. The implant 88 includes first and second parallel drainage tubes 90, 92 positioned adjacent the suture holes 60, 62 and bonded to the raised ridge 56. The first discharge tube 60 is fitted with a dissolving plug 94 which slowly dissolves to provide gradual flow from the anterior chamber 30 to the bleb 52. As described above, the plug 94 is formed of a polymeric material such as PVP, PVA, or collagen. Alternatively, a ligature could be used to secure the first tube 90 and control flow between the anterior chamber 30 and bleb 52. A micron filter or flow restrictor 96 is contained within the second discharge tube 62 to provide a relatively small amount of initial flow between the anterior chamber 30 and bleb 52. A further alternative embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 7 wherein first and second discharge tubes 100, 102, are oriented in a "Y" configuration and merge into a single discharge tube 104 whose end 106 is placed inside the anterior chamber 30. As in the embodiment described above and illustrated in FIG. 6, the first discharge tube 100 includes a dissolving plug 94 and the second discharge tube includes a flow restrictor or Valve 96 placed therein. In this manner, aqueous flow is controlled until formation of the bleb 52 is complete. Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, the description is intended to be illustrative of the invention and is not intended to be limiting. Various modifications and applications may occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Patent Citations
