Re: turn a blind eye The Tsar was assassinated and his policy reversed by his successor, Alexander I, but before the momentous news had become known, Nelson, with a detachment of ships of the fleet of comparatively light draught, attacked and defeated the Danish fleet at the hard-fought battle of Copenhagen on 2 April 1801. At a critical stage of the action, Hyde Parker signalled to the engaged portion of the fleet to break off the action, an order that Nelson refused even to see since, as he remarked, he had a blind eye and sometimes had a right to use it. doesn't say that "turn a blind eye" was the exact phrase that Nelson used; or that, if it was, he invented it; or that, whether he used it or not, it became popular after his remark was publicized. www.phrases.org.uk /bulletin_board/8/messages/286.html   (282 words)

The findings came to light during a survey carried out in Glasgow, Manchester, Coventry and London, in which just under 1,000 adults who have not had eyesight correction were given a basic eye test and asked what they thought about contact lenses, glasses and laser eye surgery. The results showed that 78% of people cited discomfort as a reason why they would not have their eyesight corrected with contact lenses. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2003-08/uow-mta080803.php   (465 words)

Donmeh West - A Critical Re-Assessment of Sabbatai Zevi Upon his conversion to Islam, Sabbatai is given the Arabic name, Aziz Mehemet (i.e., "Power of Muhammad") and is appointed to the honorary royal office of Kapici Bashi, or "Keeper of the Gate," a title strikingly similar to that of the Imam in Sufi, "Gate of God." (Ibid, Gershom Scholem) Although nominally a Muslim, Sabbatai openly continues his messianic posturing as a Jew under the very nose of the Sultan of Turkey who had only recently threatened to execute him for doing the same, but now seems to turn a blind eye to it. However, for some reason (possibly that Sabbatai had failed in his undercover mission to the Bektashi) the Sultan can no longer seem to ignore Sabbatai's activities, but rather than executing him as one would expect, banishes him to Dulcigno where Sabbatai continues in his Jewish-Messianic activities. www.donmeh-west.com /re-evaluation.shtml   (2350 words)
