Great knowledgeable staff with great gluten free crust. Need options of fresh meats without preservatives. No cross contamination is a win for me!
Staff asked me to confirm if allergy or preference. Then they took care of my order in the back to ensure. I cross contamination. I ordered the basil tomato and mozzarella pizza. It tasted great. Usually I'd not like it because it has too much cheese, but it was just the right amount. I also ordered the peppermint chocolate gelato. It also was delicious. No issues what so ever. Will return again!
We have eaten here many times on our trips to Savannah. I have Celiac and Salicylate Sensitivity. They are very knowledgeable about CC, and even prepare gluten free pizzas in a separate area. Every GF pizza I have had here has been great! Sadly, during this last visit we ate at the Your Pie in Pooler, Ga, and the experience was not as good as the one in downtown Savannah. Lesson learned.
GF crust is a $4 up charge, but most toppings except meatballs were GF. Staff is knowledgeable about celiac and both pizza and side salad were prepped in a separate area to avoid cc.
I had a gf Great White pizza. It was delicious! I have celiac and I instantly react to gluten. I was fine after eating it and the next day after eating the leftovers. The staff was very busy (Saturday night, jam-packed) but they took time to explain their process and were very careful. They have a separate area and toppings for GF pizzas. This is a place that you must try!
Food was certainly 5⭐(GF and nonGF review); however, the young lady that greeted us seemed aggravated with questions from the get go. She half-heartedly asked us if my husband was GF by preference or allergy and then seemed annoyed when he said it was an allergy. Since we both have worked in food services, we decided she may have just been having a bad day so definitely not a reason not to go.
We went here based on prior reviews and were so disappointed. First and foremost the attitude we received from multiple workers Saturday 7.14.18 was ridiculous. I honestly felt that energy right away, but add gluten free formalities and the annoyance grew. The pizza was limp/under-cooked in the middle and burnt on the crust. My entire family of 4 (we all eat GF) did not enjoy their pizza. So disappointed.
Ate here twice when I was in town. Perhaps the tastiest gluten free pizza I've ever eaten. Dedicated prep area but common oven. The staff pays attention and I had no gluten reactions.
So good! They make GF pizza in a separate back kitchen. Delicious.
Great gluten free pizza! They prepare it in the back kitchen to avoid cross contamination. They bring it out and put it in the shared oven but it is in ya own foil pan so it doesn't touch anything. The crust was very soft and not too crunchy like most gf crust. I ate there about 10 hours ago and have not felt any symptoms.
The staff was very knowledgeable & asked if gf was an allergy or preference. The pizza was amazing!
I eat here every time I'm in town. They're as cautious as can be, I've never had any issues. I have celiac. Very good pizza.
Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten. As soon as we said celiac, prep switched to another employee in a separate area. They were happy to answer our questions about cross contact. There's a $4 upcharge for gluten free but it's worth it. We will definitely eat here again.
Had a gf pizza - ask for it to be prepared in the back separately. Crunchy thin crust. GF cider too. Not the best service. Sensitive celiac and no problems.
We decided to eat here last-minute during our vacation based on some reviews here. When we walked in, two guys were Rossi g pizza crust at the line. Gluten-filled pizzas were going directly into the wood fire oven. Flour. Everywhere. Oh. No. My husband ordered his regular pizza and I stood there terrified... BUT THEN... I meekly asked, "I need a gluten free pizza. How would that work here?" The guy immediately asked, "Allergy or preference?" And as soon as I confirmed Allergy, he removed his gloves and asked what I wanted on it. A sign identifying gluten-containing toppings was clearly posted, so I knew what to avoid. He wrote down my order and prepared my pizza on a gluten free crust in a separate room. When he came back, the pizza was in its own rimmed pan and it baked in that, not touching the oven surface like the regular pizzas. I know that cross contamination was still a possibility, but I haven't reacted that I can tell. I so pleased with the care given to my order, and my pizza was delicious!
Great pizza, very careful with GF orders. Ingredients listed for crust, prepped separately from regular pizza, baked on its own aluminum pan. Almost every topping is gf, dairy free also available. Had the butternut squash pie, all the toppings were super fresh. Staff checked on us after we ate to see if everything was ok for me. As safe as they can make it for a pizza place. Super nice!
Celiac safe and great food.
Staff was excellent and took my order aside to be cooked separately. Great vegan cheese and options!
My son loves the gluten free pizza!
Excellent care for cross contamination and very good quality food too. Wished I lived closer because I'd go back!
YUM! Good pizza, had vegan cheese, excellent precautions. Hubby loved his regular pizza too. Highly recommend!
Really good pizza. Asked if pizza needed to be prepared in the back (separate location from all the gluten). Pizza baked in its own pan too. Changed gloves prior to handling gluten free pies.
One of the best GF pizzas I have had. I'm very sensitive and did not get sick.
Gluten free & delicious!!! Wish we had one close to where we live. Crust was crispy & light. Fresh tomatoes, fresh basil & olive oil (I left off the garlic) is the Ischia pizza.
Best pizza I've had in a while!
Uses a separate area to prepare GF pizza with separate GF ingredients. Bakes off pizza in pan to avoid cross contamination in oven. also has GF beer options. It was really nice to eat out and not worry about cross contamination!
We called ahead to check if someone with Celiac and nut allergies would be able to eat the pizza. The guy I spoke with even read the ingredients in the crust. The pizza was delicious and we had no problems.
they use a separate area for those who are allergic! great staff and yummy pizza!
When we stepped up to order and asked for a GF pizza pie they asked if it was for an allergy or diet choice. When we said allergy they took note, prepared our pizza in a completely separate section away from where the rest of the pizzas were prepared, I witnessed the cook change his gloves and wash his hands after getting our order even though he was already in the GF section - just to be extra safe, he used toppings that were kept separate from the rest that could have been contaminated, the receipt even had a separate medical allergy annotation, and when they delivered our food to the table the kitchen runner confirmed that this was a GF dish prepared for allergy. Extremely impressed with how well their company is setup to handle our GF food options. They even offered a GF beer and a cider. Their food was tasty and their service quick.
Really good GF pizza! I had the BBQ chicken pizza & my sons had sausage & pepperoni. Would definitely go back!
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. They change their gloves and make the gluten free pizza away from other pizzas. This is a great place to eat with non-GF friends because everyone can get exactly what they want. I've had a good experience every time I come here.
Food was good and the staff was friendly but this was not celiac friendly. I got sick after dining here.
Eaten here twice now on my vacation! They are cautious and make the pizza in the back. Very yummy and no reaction! Staff was friendly and knowledgable about celiac disease!
Very knowledgable on making gluten free safe/safer. I ordered gluten free crust and stressed that I have Celiac/gluten allergy. They made my pizza in the walk in cooler, changed their gloves and used fresh toppings from the cooler to avoid cross contamination. AND The gluten free pizza was Amazing!!! Beyond happy with my experience here. Will definitely be back when in the area!!
A gray pizza place and crispy crust. They were very knowledgable and all was good!
Most delicious pizza I've had since being diagnosed! Thank you thank you!
Great option for families feeding those with celiac and those without. Everybody was happy!
Pizza was ok. I would say 3 out of 5 stars. One was burnt and very hard to eat. Be sure to say Celiac Disease as they have special prep area.
Dough, sauce and cheese were all great! We ordered all cheese pizzas for takeout and it was fast and friendly. They asked if the GF was medical or preference which I found very impressive (first time a restaurant has done that!) my only mistake was not asking them to distinguish the GF box from others because all looked the same (again first time GF didn't look especially different from regular!) overall wonderful, wish they had one at home, id have a new go-to!
Great to get a good GF pizza! My food was prepared on a back room away from glutens... Happy to say I had no bad reaction.
Great g free options and good cross contamination avoidance practices. staff was well educated and trained. Surprisingly had no side effects despite there being a lot of regular pizza flour visible.
They prepare the pizza in the back to avoid cross contamination, which was great. Pizza was good, not great.
Had the lineage pie and it was fantastic. I'm new to eating gluten free and it gets annoying trying to find good places to eat without having reactions. This place is great.
Very knowledgable staff about GF and amazing pizza! Staff was also very nice. Super yummy GF crust!
I have celiac and am very sensitive. I have come to this location many times and never had a problem. When ordering you tell them you want the gluten free crust, and then they will ask "For allergy or preference?" If you have an allergy definitely say allergy, because they will make your order in the back away from all the contaminated toppings. They are always very nice and they understand celiac very well. Me and my sister both have celiac and always enjoy the pizza!!
Dedicated area for gluten free. Change utensils during slicing of pizza too. Great knowledge!
This place is phenomenal. My celiac ten year okd's favorite restaurant Staff super knowledgeable and great allergy customers very well. They have dedicated prep area and super tasty pizza They also deliver via Postmates which we often use!
My son with Celiac hasn't gotten glutened here after eating here probably 20 times, but my brother has, so just watch your topppings. If you tell them that you have Celiac they will prepare your pizza seaparately to avoid cross contamination. Don't get the sausage or meatballs even though the ingredient list says they are GF. The other review is wrong - NOT all of the gelatos are Gf.
They take EXTRA precautions on gluten free items. We eat there all the time because of this. They really are one of the few places that truly understand what gluten free and cross contamination means.
Staff made my gluten free (celiac) pizza in the back to avoid cross contamination. Amazing pizza, no reaction! Salad and gelato were amazing also.
They make the gf pizzas in the back if you tell them it's an allergy. Very good service and very knowledgeable about gluten free menu.
We were visiting from Minnesota and I saw this place had good reviews so we decided to stop here for dinner. Awesome place. The owner went above and beyond to make sure I didn't get sick. Highly recommend eating here!
Even on a Sunday night with skeleton staff I was well taken care of. As soon as I mentioned Celiac my server took off his gloves and told me he was going to the back to make my pizza completely separately. Great quick service concept, you pick any toppings you like in a Subway style line. I picked my toppings and my server wrote them down and disappeared into the back (they didn't use the contaminated toppings from the normal line). Delicious and safe!
Staff doesnt understand cross containmentation. Asked for glove change but then the other staff member who had been making wheat pulled crust out of gf box. Asked them to start over. They did but then they put the contaminated dough back in the gluten free box. Used the same marinara as the gluten. They use to be careful and had separate containers.
Safe for celiac. Just wish they would adjust prices down a little. Crazy expensive for a small pizza.
Staff was very knowledgeable and they did my pizza in the back; however, I tested it with NIMA and tested positive for gluten. You may say that Nima doesn't work but just for caution.
Such good crust! Not burnt, hard, or crispy - I like a bit of a softer crust, so I was happy. And they always ask if you have an allergy so they can change their gloves. Delicious.
The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable about Gf. If you tell them you have an allergy or Celiac they will make it in the back away from all other gluten pizzas. They use fresh toppings from dedicated gluten free toppings. they know the difference between choosing to be GF and having to be gluten free. The price is amazing for a gf pizza that you can load up on toppings with for no additional charge. No one acts like it's a inconvenience and I have eaten there many times before and never gotten sick. My fav place now!
If you tell them it's an allergy, they will prepare the GF pizza separately with fresh toppings from the package, not their contaminated bins up front. Just be careful with the gelato- some of the flavors are GF but they use the same scoop so there is contamination!
Went for lunch today for Valentine's because I have had good luck twice. Today they literally rolled their eyes when I asked for gluten free. Then the unlucky employee went in the back came back up front and grabbed the brush that they brush all the dough with. Sorry but very big red flag. Was so hopeful that this would be our "go to " place. Would give them a zero if I could.
Excellent food and experience. Easy peasy!
I ordered gluten free crust. They immediately asked "preference or allergy," which I thought was great service. I said allergy, and they prepared mine in the back instead of in the front where all the regular pizza flour is. You can ask them to change gloves and use clean utensils. I ordered the Great White, but learned after the fact that you can add additional toppings for no extra charge. I'm from out of town and this was a nice find in such a small town. The gf crust tasted really good. Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @ Gluten_Is_A_Pain_In_The_Glutes.
My first time here and very impressed. They asked if it was allergy or preference. when I said allergy, he took his gloves off and prepared my pizza separate from everything else. it was the best gluten free pizza I have had.
Staff took order and went in back away from main line to make pizza. They didn't make me feel like a crazy person when I double checked things. Even told my son which gelato options he could have and used a clean spoon.
I was asked if I wanted it made in the back separate from the other pizzas. This was a great sign for me and happy to have that option! It took a little longer but came out great! No hives or sickness!
Great pizza. Online ordering experience is better than most. I like that you can choose GF crust, then choose whether it's a preference or an allergy and they treat the pizza accordingly.
I have eaten here several times and really enjoy it. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I have never gotten sick here, and am very excited about the separate cooking space for gluten free customers. My absolute go to for the best gluten free pizza!
Staff was very knowledgeable and restaurant is dedicated gluten free. I have celiac and am very sensitive. Was nervous to try a pizza place, but this place was amazing! Highly recommend!
They ask if it's just an intolerance or celiac, so make sure if they don't and you have celiac that you make it known so they don't start making it up front! Makes gluten free pizzas separately in the back with different ingredients than the ones used up front, so they don't use any sauces or toppings that have touched regular dough. It IS cooked in the same oven as everything else, but it's placed in some kind of pan thing and the top is partially covered also? If that makes any sense. So far there hasn't been an issue so it's looking pretty good. Pizza is pretty good also.
We have eaten here multiple times it's always delicious. My fiancé has celiac and has never gotten sick.
The staff here is very knowledgeable about Celiac. I told him I needed gluten free and he immediately took off his apron and gloves, washed his hands, used ingredients from the back that hadn't been contaminated, and it gets cooked in a separate oven. He didn't even hesitate.
Some of the best gluten free pizza in Atlanta. So glad they opened this location. They ask if the pizza is allergy or preference and change their gloves.
I despise this location. Their customer service is subpar and they couldn't care less about food allergies. I found sausage in my Greek salad (I'm a decade long vegetarian and that would have made me horribly ill), and they told me that that just happens sometimes because of leftover toppings on the pie board. So... clean them off? They are a bunch of college kids who are just there to earn a paycheck and nothing more.
The customer service is above par and as a celiac I felt safe and comfortable. Excellence in food and service. I highly recommend trying things out here!
This was the best, GF pizza I've had in years. So freaking yummy! Perfect crust and fresh toppings. They can prepare your pizza in the back and bake it in a separate dish to avoid cross contamination, by request. Just let them know your gf needs are due to allergy. This place makes having Celiac feel like a breeze. What a gift to the community.
What andersrock said. Great concept, and the regular crust pizza is good. Superb concept, for sure. But even with baking to the point of charred edges, the crust was quite soggy. It was disappointing, to say the least, for GF Folk.
This place is not gluten free.
Let me start by saying that Your Pie is one of my go to places - it's usually safe and the food is good. So when we were on the way to the beach, we decided to stop here for lunch. The guy who took my order was incredibly rude so I was already feeling uncomfortable with it. As I picked up the second to the last piece of pizza, there were random ingredients underneath which weren't on my pizza. Needless to say, I was incredibly sick for the start of our vacation. It took 2 weeks for my symptoms to fully resolve. I will continue to go to Your Pie but I will NEVER go to this location again.
A pizza place that makes the gluten free pizzas separate! They are awesome. I am celiac and have been here several times without getting sick. Pizzas are really good as well not the typical cracker crust.
They have a gf crust my daughter loves and they make it in the back away from the other pizzas. It's cooked in its own little pan so there is no cross contamination.
I have come twice in the last few weeks and was surprised when they asked me if my gluten allergy was preference or allergy. They prepare the pizzas in the back with a fresh set of ingredients and cook the pizza on a tray to avoid contamination. There were a few ingredients they don't have prepared in the back and asked if I was okay with it coming from the front, which I did because I'm gluten intolerant and not celiac. They also have gluten free gelato options which I loved. I did not feel sick after eating here and would recommend even for celiacs although you should still take precautions.
Did great on the GF part - no problems afterward at all. However, it just wasn't that good - pizza crust was soggy in the center and the pepperoni looked dry like it had freezer burn.
Best spot for gluten free pizza, they go in the back to make it even. Just make sure you ask them to cook it a bit longer or it wont be crisp At All.
I have been to another your pie location, so I initially had no worries when I went to this one. I ended up getting very sick within an hour of eating a regular gf pizza. But I thought maybe it was accidentally cross contaminated, so I gave it another try, and took my gf roommate with me. Sure enough, the next day we both became ill. The employees seemed very understanding of the allergy and told me they knew the preventative procedures, I'm not sure what went wrong, but I know I will not be back here because I do not want to jeopardize my health again.
They cooked my gf pizza on a separate grill in the back. Eaten several times and never had a celiac reaction.
Upon arrival, I asked the line attendant what the procedure was for gluten-free pizzas, as it is similar to a Moe's or Subway assembly line. She asked how severe my allergy was and I told her I had Celiac and it would make me very ill if I was cross-contaminated. She then told me she would change gloves, and assemble it in a dedicated area in the back. The price was way better than most GF pizza options in town and the crust was so soft with a decent crust! I was happily surprised and will be back!
"It is possible that there may be trace amounts of flour among our toppings. Our team members would be happy to change their gloves and build your pizza in a separate prep area in the back upon request if you are allergic to gluten. Gluten-free pizzas are baked in an aluminum tray to promote easy identification and reduced gluten contact. However, since we do work around flour all day and ALL pizzas are baked in the same oven, we can not guarantee that trace particles of flour and/or gluten are not in and around gluten-free items."

A report claims that Liverpool have withdrawn their interest in Alisson, leaving Real Madrid and Chelsea as the leading candidates to sign him from Roma.
Liverpool have reportedly pulled out of the running to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker from Roma due to his hefty valuation.
The Reds had prioritised bringing in the 25-year-old this summer due to growing concerns over Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet between the sticks.
After being joined by Real Madrid and Chelsea in the race to land the 26-cap Brazil international, however, which has subsequently driven up his asking price, Sky Sports News claims that Liverpool will now look elsewhere.
Roma are holding out for £80m for Alisson, who wants his future resolved by the end of this week, and the same report suggests that Madrid are willing to pay that sum to make him the most expensive keeper in world football.
However, Los Blancos are also big fans of Thibaut Courtois and may instead opt to move for the Belgian, which would in turn make Alisson Chelsea's number-one target.
Only Napoli's Pepe Reina registered more Serie A clean sheets than the Roma stopper's 17 last season.

Trains Back on the Tracks!
My puny efforts to get passenger trains and stations reinstated on 38 miles of existing, double track rail lines in Birmingham and the Black Country. Some, such as the Stourbridge, Dudley, Walsall rail line has its middle section reserved for trams that forever prevent passenger trains returning.
Lothian Buses reply
Thank you for your email. Please see answers to your questions below:
Has there been any cuts to bus services with the introduction of trams?
There were some changes to bus routes and frequencies, but the overall number of buses being used on the network remained broadly the same.
Am I wrong to maintain that electric trams replace diesel buses, when electric buses would be quicker to do, cheaper and have lower greenhouse gas emissions?
The long term public transport offering in Edinburgh will likely be a mix of trams, electric buses, diesel buses and hybrid buses, all of which will be specified to the highest Euro standards for emissions. All forms of public transport should be considered as more sustainable than using the private car. At the current time, the mileage range which electric buses can achieve between charges is not sufficient to make them operationally viable for the entire fleet.
Is Lothian bus use rising, stable or declining?
In the new markets we have entered in the last few years, we are seeing more people starting to use buses. However, in our core City market, slower bus journey times, primarily caused by congestion and delays due to roadworks, are having an impact on passenger numbers.
Are you seeing a reduction in road traffic congestion with the tram line?
I hope you find these answers useful.

Benevolent, charming, we know best for you, dictating policy makers at Transport HQ
Thanks, Geo. Nice to hear from you. WMCA is West Midlands Combined Authority brought in by a Conservative government, that another such government, getting on for forty years ago, abolished. That authority was called the West Midlands County Council done away with by Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. There is nothing new under the sun! We had county councillors, then. With this one there is no councillors, so no democracy. Not that any of our councillors seem to be interested in anything very much! There is no discussion, debate followed by voting by councillors whom we have elected.

Remembrance, heroes and violence
Remembrance is so important because we won.
Help for Heroes - make more war to make more heroes.
Lest we Forget - to wage war.
Remember - the living can learn from the fate of the fallen.
Violence and war should be the last resort when all else has failed. And is a failure in itself - of sidelining the UN, of diplomacy, conflict resolution, of ignoring UN resolutions and, of just dealings with other countries by the wealthy and powerful.

20.6.19 Everything but the kitchen sink on our urban railway lines!
Hi Andy
Thanks very much for your email. Much appreciated.
From what I have seen or not seen in my 71 years, the railway, the transport and the green lobbying groups; plus the railway industry itself and trade unions, have never fought to stop the destruction and selling off of railway lines that Beeching rightly closed as being uneconomic in the 1960s. Beeching never suggested that they be obliterated in the way that even urban railway lines have been. I would think that Beeching never wanted the lines sold off to any old Tom, Dick or Harriet. Unfortunately, I don't think he recommended that they all be mothballed in case of future use. Hence, over these last fifty years, our councillors have given planning permission for every kind of building imaginable - and roads - to go on the lines. I have estimated that we must have lost over 100 Kms of railway lines in the West Midlands in this way. The 6 Kms Halesowen Railway line to Longbridge has been sold off to private individuals that makes it much more difficult to reopen as a cycle-walkway, without compulsory purchase that is unheard of for a cycle-walkway.
" the various 'rail enthusiast train groups' " are never campaigning groups in the more assertive, constructive and helpful way that I think I am. They all seem to be passive, deferential, apathetic and would never dream of vigorously pointing out the error of their ways - ie, the errors of transport professional officers and the councillors. The councillors, in particular, show very little interest in getting about in ways other than the car. They all leave transport matters to Transport HQ at 16 Summer Lane.
In addition, the rail enthusiast groups are as equally keen on trams, tram trains and train trams as they are on the more frequently seen, ordinary, trains. They would not dream of opposing a tram extension, even on a rare, mothballed, the UK's only, mainline, half finished railway.

Extend the Stourbridge Shuttle but NOT on the Black Country Railway!
I do want to see the Stourbridge Shuttle extended via the half used 350 space car park on Stourbridge Road; then along Coventry St and High St, back to the bus station. Phil Tonks seems to like this idea from his reply to my email. John Parry said he would not oppose it. I should hope not!
John Parry's PPM is not suitable for a 120 Kms mainline railway of national importance. It is the UK's only mothballed, easily reinstated, half finished, everything is there as regards every bridge, tunnel and viaduct bypass railway "of national strategic significance". Nor is a Metro tram or a tram train (still a tram) suitable for a mainline railway of the likes of ours that runs between Worcester and Derby via Dudley Castle Hill/Castle Gate. A tram and tram train are both suitable for the 20 Kms between Sheffield Cathedral and Rotherham Parkgate. Both the tram and the tram train stop at every tram stop on those 20 Kms. It is ludicrous to spoil our mainline railway that runs parallel to or close to M5/M6 by putting trams and tram trains that must stop, on average, every 650 metres through the urban Black Country.
Trams are called "bus on rails" by the national tram promotion group that has its HQ at Transport HQ at 16 Summer Lane. Hence, the trams for over £1.5 BILLION now replacing buses and trains in Brum and the Black Country.
Connect Stourbridge Jct and Brierley Hill with a commuter TRAIN not tram of any kind, please. You all want the tram from Brierley Hill to Wednesbury that you will get, it seems. Main work starts in the third quarter of this year. However, connect Wednesbury and Burton on Trent with commuter and regional TRAINS. After Metro goes on a total of 6.7 Kms, this still leaves a total of 49.3 Kms AND Railfuture's nine railway stations for the settlements that are desperate for their railway line back to relieve motorway and main road congestion.
You will then have a train-tram-train mainline railway "of national strategic significance", at best. This will be a world first, I understand. It is not something the UK should be proud of or, noted for around the world. Such a bizarre use of an important, national, mainline railway will mean something else for the UK to be seen as a laughing stock around the world!
I am available to see Qadar (perhaps Patrick, too?) at anytime and any date over the next three weeks, except morning 20 June to 1200 hrs; from 1100 hrs on Mon 24 June to 1300 hrs and Friday morning 28 June - WMCA AGM in Brum. And I can't do Monday morning 1 July in the third week.

to Bob Warman of Central TV
Dear Bob - my full contact details are at the bottom of this email. Tim Weller
Is this value for money? Does this nice piece of idiocy deserve a mention on your excellent programme, Bob?
6.7 Kms of a half finished 120 Kms, 'Out of Use' (mothballed) mainline railway "of national strategic significance", is about to be turned into a short shuttle tram line to transfer passengers to the mainline railway in the next borough. This, for £449 million when the Taxpayers' Alliance says nearly all of it can be re-opened for £120 million with three new stations. And, for £449 m there is still 49.3 Kms wasted, unused apart from a 2 Kms VLR test track and a new extended cycle-walkway, alongside or near to jam packed M5/M6 and many main roads!!
I am referring to the missing, middle half of this supposedly nationally important mainline railway between Worcester, the Black Country and Derby. It was very well used for 100 years until the 1960s when we all deserted the railways to buy and use cars. The track bed and every bridge, tunnel and viaduct are all in place under or over every congested motorway and main road. But, not even a single ghost train is to be seen!

Walking and working in our Golden Green Triangle
Thanks, Stuart for your last email. All very helpful. This is copied to Roy Burgess who is mentioned here and who also needs to know what is going on. He founded the Halesowen Abbey Trust in 1986 and has been active in public service ever since. Now, more in Leasowes Walled Garden, in Leasowes Park, that is as good as any NT garden. It is included in the annual competition, 'Halesowen in Bloom'.
To keep you in the picture, I have on Monday submitted a request to WCC via their official online website form, for the rough 'path' from Bromsgrove Road to Illey Brook/Illey Mill to be made a right of way. Reference no 717548. More immediately, I would like their staff to cut a path through the long grass of the roadside verge at the Bromsgrove Road end. My very rough path starts at the brambles where I have cut a narrow path through. I will continue to keep the brambles, thistles and nettles back at that short section on the verge below (south) where the long grass is. I have done it for my own use, primarily but I also think that the more walkers can keep off that very busy country lane the better. It is also an extension to our wonderful network of public paths that 'end' at Illey Mill. Roy also has his many walk leaflets that also use Illey Lane for access from Halesowen. Walkers may discover, in due course, that there is an alternative to walking on tarmac and risking an accident.
Last Saturday, I had a wonderful walk from home to the new Longbridge High Street on mostly public paths. The only exception was when I tried the railway line and found, from Dowery Dell, south to the M5 and beyond, that it was still possible, mud free and gave some great views to either side. It actually became the Princess Diana Way SE of the M5 in Frankley but you must know that! Many, including children, have illegally walked the railway line ever since it was first opened, I understand. In the 20th century, trespassers were risking a 40 shillings fine. I walked parts of it in the 1970s, even before I moved to Halesowen in 1976. Some were shouted at by train drivers, Roy told me. Now, the fine for trespassing on the railways is £1,000!
While I was in Dowery Dell below the dismantled viaduct, I cleared two or three branches that completely blocked the public right of way above the wooden steps on the Frankley, south side, of the brook. It was Roy and friends who built the steps, he told me, very many years ago. Was it in the 1980s, Roy? It was done with the knowledge and help of WCC. My Saturday walk took four hours but I came back by three buses after an evening meal in the High Street 'Beefeater'.
Stuart, if I get the permission of Bernard Williams, would you want to use your strimmer to cut my grass slashed path even shorter, please? I know, it is not strictly necessary, so don't worry. The right of way is much more important. I'll use my slasher, again in a week or twos time. My contact with Bernard is via Mark at the cricket ground on 07799 332544. Mark was OK about my slashing a path through the open woodland and speaks with Bernard Williams. You are always welcome to ring Mark yourself, of course, for confirmation.
There is one badly leaning concrete post on the cul de sac path that I want to dig out and reposition vertically. I am using my mountain bike to get to the path from home. The concrete posts are so important in showing the old cart track and how very wide it was, originally. All part of our very important heritage in caring for the past to benefit the future. If the posts get removed, any future landowner/farmer may well encroach onto the ancient farm track to get a bigger field. My preference is one half of the cart track for walkers and the other half of impenetrable brambles to ensure Jenny's caravans are less obvious. We must keep Jenny pleased with what we are doing and walking the path herself! I want Mark and Bernard to take a look, too sometime. Mark said he would.

Excellent Dudley Museum
I came across this wonderful, well presented Dudley Museum that includes many exhibits and one dinosaur that made me jump as it unexpectedly burst into life behind me! There was also attractive information about the Black Country UNESCO Geopark and two videos on a loop in the video room. There was an art gallery and a Dudley heroes galley to be seen, too.
I was there for about an hour and a half, this morning but saw only one couple. There needs to be lots of attractive signs to our brand new museum from each of the other four tourist/leisure attractions that are on either side of the Archives and Local History Centre. Visitors to the Living Museum, the Portal and Zoological Gardens/Castle should not be missing out. They are certainly doing so, now. Signs are needed, I think from both the old, top town and the new, Castle Gate, low town centre. Signs on the walking/cycling routes, please including to the canal towpath that takes walkers and cyclists to Brum. The land train route needs to be much better signed, in my opinion and, the white railway type gate kept unlocked during the daytime.
I also noticed that the smart, top quality Station Hotel is missed out from the Accommodation brochure. The other three hotels at Castle Gate are all included. This is a serious omission and the owner should be rightly upset. The useful 'Discover Dudley' brochure has the Village Hotel Club featured but, the older and more established Station Hotel, once again, is not. Also missing is the 100 years of successful service to Dudley town - the railway station. It was once important and, like Station Hotel, must have had visitors/passengers from London and the North, in past years. It could do so again, of course. Hint, hint!

The Black Country Ghost Train Attraction
There is still time to stop Brum palming us fine Black Country people off with a piddling little shuttle tram line. This, on our own mainline railway to our neighbours' in Sandwell. Ours gets completely ruined in the process. How scandalous and stupid is that?
STATION Hotel, that smart top hotel opposite the site of the railway station, has to put up with a tram stop of all things. Giving it the trains back will help it flourish between traditional old Dudley town and new, low town at Castle Gate.
Please protest, act and insist that we get the proper thing back - TRAINS, once more on all 120 Kms between Worcester and Derby, through Dudley.
Beware of audacious, dishonest scam
Digging up roads and wrecking any prospect of completing our 120 Kms mainline railway is done to replace diesel buses/trains with electric trams.
It is turning a mole hill into a mountain.
No mole hill exists because the tram brainwave is a solution looking for a problem. And this has gone on since 1981 but, in this decade it has taken off - big time.
Road digging, moving pipes and cables and overhead power lines all makes tram extensions the world's second most expensive form of transport after HS2. SOURCE:
Like for like comparison of infrastructure buil...
Even more expensive than nearly every Maglev train project in Japan, South Korea and China!
All you need are electric, fareless buses on 100% bus lanes, with traffic light priority to speed buses and inconvenience car commuters but help those who must use vehicles.
Democracy is denied to drive through, autocratically, that road digging, railway wrecking project.
It appears that not one political party, even the Green Party, has ever discussed and then voted on the wisdom of spending over £1.5 BILLION for the 32 Kms and five schemes in the Black Country and Brum.
Every political party wants trams. Everyone includes them in their manifestos. But with no democratic legitimacy.
Not one council in membership of the Combined Authority has ever voted to approve this massive expenditure.
The HQ of the Combined Authority shares the building with the HQ of the national tram promotion group. Vested interests. Improper influence. Complicity, collusion, corruption. That explains it all in upstanding, Boris's Brexit Britain!
Maintaining the first very expensive tram on a railway line meant every tram was replaced after only 17 years and the track after 18 years. And, four business in Bilston went bust over the many months of work!

Likening the EU to rationing!
John Melaire (Letters, 13 June) likens our membership of the EU to the days of rationing. We have lacked for nothing since we joined. Our trade deals as a member are more advantageous than if we were on our own. Isolated from the rest, we would have to start all over again and take many years over it, too. It would take our wealth and be a fruitless exercise to simply make the point that we are independent and gloriously isolated, once again but, now as Greater (than ever) Brexit Boris Britain. Even more of a laughing stock around the world.
Even Norway and Switzerland have a much closer and a more sensible relationship with the EU than any of our Brexiteers want. Those two countries have been at the forefront of peacemaking between the warring nations, like us, for many decades. So, perhaps we should take a leaf out of their book and become like them!
However, if we did leave with N Ireland still in the UK, it may simply invite the men of violence who are desperate to be shot of us lot on the mainland of the UK, to start up their killings once again. Hence, the backstop. And, the overwhelming reason for us not to depart the EU. Or, at least, not until N Ireland is out of the UK and back with Ireland. Now, that kind of leaving really is sensible!

DO WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING?
The gradual process for UK devolution to its smaller countries was not followed for leaving the EU or, in converting a mainline railway into a tram line, a test track, a trail of trees and an extended cycle-walkway.
The 1990's and 00's careful, sensible and gradual process that led to eventual devolution was not followed for a matter of even greater import - our future membership of the EU. For something more complicated than devolution, all the checks and balances built in to get, eventually an assembly and one parliament was not followed over the matter of the UK leaving EU membership.
On 5 April 2019, 'Have I Got News for You', Ian Hislop commented, "Thatcher said we shouldn't have a referendum on Europe. It was too complicated an issue to put to the public. She was right."
Similarly, for something so game changing, expensive and, therefore, climate breaking as the decision to convert a safeguarded, 120 Kms mainline railway into two very short sections of tramway, on that matter too, none of the checks and balances were followed. There was not even any kind of debate or even discussion beforehand, let alone a vote. Not even one of the constituent councils of the WMCA had a debate and vote. The elected members were content to have the decision imposed upon them by the UK pressure group for trams that has infiltrated Transport HQ. This, to spend nearly half a billion to destroy the middle section of a mainline railway that reduces capacity. Yet, £56 billion is spent to increase capacity on our railways with HS2!
Brexit makes us look odd. Out of step when being in step and collaborating is vital. It discourages inward investment from overseas. It puts other countries off.
"An analysis of foreign direct investment (FDI) projects by the Department for International Trade for 2018-19, shows the UK attracted 1,782, compared to 2,072 in the previous 12 month period, representing a decline of 14% ." from businesslive@email.trinitymirror-news.co.uk 27 June 2019
Never mind! That will make £92 billions of benefits for the UK, says the business case!! Are we living in Alice in Wonderland? Or, do we know what we are doing? This must be dishonest, crooked economics when all the crucial, fossil fuel resources are finite and, when burnt, screw up the planet's climates in changing the composition of the atmosphere for the worse?

Whistleblowing summary
SUMMARY OF ALLEGATION:
£1.8 BILLION of public money is being spent on trams and Sprint diesel buses to replace trains that have the unintended consequence of destroying other transport infrastructure, too. eg: Metro One now gives an inferior service for train users between Snow Hill Station and Shrewsbury because the principal station and railway lines have all gone for good to allow for trams.
WBHE is stopping for ever any future possibility of finishing the middle section of the Black Country Mainline Railway "of national strategic significance" when many millions have already been spent on every tunnel, bridge and viaduct for commuter, regional and even intercity trains!
Over £300 million is being spent to replace smart looking Platinum diesel buses with less frequent stopping Sprint diesel buses. What is the point of that?
£1.8 BILLION would be more wisely spent on giving everyone fareless, electric buses with traffic light priority on 100% bus lanes on every dual carriageway to entice those wedded and welded to their motors to free up the road space for those who really do need their vehicles for their jobs.
DEMOCRACY DENIED BY THE VERY PEOPLE WHO GO ON THE MOST ABOUT IT!
As regards Metro and Sprint spending, discussion and debate is excluded, quite apart from consultation and voting that are all conveniently overlooked as being irrelevant! This is done to spend over £1.8 BILLION of taxpayers' money, to 2026, in only part of the West Midlands, to increase road congestion and pollution, to worsen overcrowding on our commuter and regional trains and to ruinously accelerate the rise of greenhouse gases and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. £1.8 billion wasted at a time of austerity and poverty for many!
It seems that every political party, even the West Midlands Green Party, co-operated with this policy of scandal, idiocy and dictatorial behaviour by TfWM/WMCA. It appears that not one local or regional political party has ever bothered to discuss any of this, let alone vote, in even one of their meetings. Including the Green Party, I believe. I would love to be corrected. Will the Brexit Party do any better?
Certainly, not a single political party is sufficiently broad minded or, at all bothered, to hear a different point of view.
TfWM/WMCA remains strongly influenced by - even colluding with - the nation's tram promotion group to continue the fifty year old policy of doing everything with Beeching's closed urban railway lines in the Black Country, than to put the trains and stations back. This summer, Metro trams and a test track are to go on the UK's only mothballed, easily reinstated, half finished mainline railway - the Black Country Railway "of national strategic significance". A tram stop and a £30 m innovation centre is to be built on the only feasible site for Dudley railway station that will also prevent the re-opening of the Black Country's second railway line. Hence, the second to be destroyed by trams and, in total, the fifth to be given over to everything but commuter and regional trains - and the kitchen sink!

World Cup 2022 play-offs draw: Wales and Scotland on collision course for spot in Qatar, plus fixture dates
One of Italy or Portugal will miss out on the 2022 World Cup, while Wales could host Scotland for a place in Qatar if both nations win their play-off semi-final

By Michael Hincks
Scotland and Wales could collide for a place in next year's World Cup, while the outcome of Friday's play-off draw also means one of Italy or Portugal will fail to reach the finals in Qatar.
Scotland will host Ukraine in their play-off semi-final in March, with Wales at home against Austria.
Should both home nations win then they will meet in Wales, with a place at the World Cup on the line.
Italy and Portugal were the two daunting names in Friday's draw, but Scotland and Wales were also seeded and subsequently avoided a semi-final meeting with the past two European Championship winners.
When is World Cup 2022? Qatar dates, schedule, qualifiers in full and hosting controversy explained
However, with three different routes to next year's World Cup in Qatar laid out, Italy and Portugal were ultimately drawn in the same pathway, making a showdown in Portugal likely if they overcome North Macedonia and Turkey respectively.
"It's a very difficult draw for us, and if we win [the semi-final] we go to play a final in Turkey or Portugal," Italy boss Roberto Mancini said.
The draw featured all 10 group runners-up from the Uefa qualifiers, plus Austria and Czech Republic based on their Nations League exploits.
World Cup play-off draw
Path A
Semi-final 1: Scotland vs Ukraine
Semi-final 2: Wales vs Austria
Final: Wales or Austria vs Scotland or Ukraine
Path B
Semi-final 1: Russia vs Poland
Semi-final 2: Sweden vs Czech Republic
Final: Russia or Poland vs Sweden or Czech Republic
Path C
Semi-final 1: Italy vs North Macedonia
Semi-final 2: Portugal vs Turkey
Final: Portugal or Turkey vs Italy or North Macedonia
Analysis: A World Cup without Ronaldo?
Twelve teams will be whittled down to three next March, and we now know Italy and Portugal can fill just one of those spaces after a dramatic draw.
Italy will be expected to see off North Macedonia, the lowest-ranked side in the play-offs, while Portugal face a tougher task when hosting Turkey, but the reality is that even if they both win their semi-finals, only one of these European giants will make it to Qatar.
It is extraordinary to think either the Euro 2016 or 2020 winners will not feature, but in 12 months' time a World Cup boasting 13 European sides will go ahead without one of the nations who recently conquered the continent.
It will not be until the March madness when we find out which country will find themselves conducting a full-scale review into how qualifying quickly turned sour. And it could yet be both of them.
Italy had gone on a long unbeaten run under Roberto Mancini and were praised for dashing England's hopes and winning the European Championship four months ago, but a late stumble in World Cup qualifying saw them finish second behind Switzerland.
That included a goalless draw with Northern Ireland earlier this month, while the normally dependable Jorginho will be having nightmares about his last-minute penalty miss against Switzerland just days before.
The World Cup may not feature Cristiano Ronaldo next year (Photo: AFP)
Meanwhile, Portugal had also been in pole position to top their group, but a dramatic late loss to Serbia saw them slip to second, and now the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo missing out on the World Cup is a very real prospect.
Ronaldo will be 37 when the tournament starts next November. He has previously said he will only retire the moment his body "is no longer responding in the right way on the field".
Come the 2026 edition in Canada, Mexico and USA he will be 41. If anyone can, Ronaldo can, having already defied biology and the status quo, but rather than entertaining four years of will-he-won't-he, his focus will be on a crucial 180 minutes in March. That could decide whether we've seen the last of Ronaldo at a World Cup or not.
Play-off dates
The play-off semi-finals will take place on Thursday 24 March 2022, with the three finals played five days later on Tuesday 29 March.
When is the 2022 World Cup draw?
No date has been set for the World Cup draw, although April 2022 has been earmarked as the date when it will take place after the final spots have been confirmed during the March international break.
Who has qualified for 2022 World Cup already?
Host nation: Qatar
Conmebol: Brazil, Argentina
Uefa: Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland
Scotland and Wales' World Cup history
Scotland are out to end a 24-wait having last featured at the 1998 World Cup. On that occasion Craig Brown's side were unable to win a group game, drawing with Norway and losing to Brazil and Morocco.
That was Scotland's eighth World Cup, which includes a run of five straight appearances from 1974 to 1990, and they are yet to progress beyond the opening round of the competition.
Meanwhile, Wales' absence from the tournament is far longer, with their sole appearance at a World Cup coming back in 1958.
After qualifying from their group in second behind Sweden – and finishing above Hungary and Mexico – Wales then succumbed to a Pele winner as Brazil won the quarter-final 1-0 en route to winning the World Cup.

I seemed to have blinked and lost a few months of my life. I am not totally sure what happened. I suspect it may have something to do with sending my first novel out into the universe, and then starting my second novel with barely a pause in between. Apart from my poor, neglected blog, it's actually been a productive few months. Granted, I may have abandoned my family, any hint of a social life, and occasionally, personal hygiene – but book two is taking shape! In that weird, capricious way that first drafts often do. Getting to know a cast of characters is probably my favourite part of the process – reading the books they read and listening to the music they love, and the long hours of browsing the net for the perfect bits of junk that they would have in their bedrooms. Apart from being a more useful procrastination task than checking Buzzfeed, this kind of character mining is sometimes the only thing that can drag me out of a writing funk. Which explains why, after staring at my computer for hours on Saturday night, I was struck with the overwhelming need to rush out at 9.30 p.m. to buy this Wonder Woman bobble head I'd seen in the window of my local video shop. Strangely enough, having her on my desk did help the creative energy, just a little.
Life in Outer Space is on the Inky Awards longlist! I'm not sure if there are rules about being excited by awards. Maybe authors are supposed to be nonchalant or whatever, but, this is a particularly cool award as it's judged by young readers themselves. Check out the rest of the awesome list here. I'm so honoured to be in such great company.
And – LiOS, the US edition, is a few days away from hitting the shelves. It's been a while since I've been to the States. For a couple of amazing months when I was younger, I lived in a tiny town in northern Minnesota, on the shore of Lake Superior. This town was basically just a few streets and a handful of stores; but it did have a beautiful old bookstore which was my second home while I was there. I'm not sure if that bookstore still exists. I like to think that – if it hasn't been turned into a donut shop or something – perhaps a copy or two of my book might make it onto its shelves.
You can find the gorgeous full dust jacket, plus a sneaky look at the first chapter here.

EU / UE
From Greece. Charlie and the abyss
10 janvier 2015 EU / UE Politics Security Violence
MONOCULTURE. The problem is that we are not all Charlie. The very declaration that we are – our need to identify with the victims of a terrible crime, as if we can protect them by exposing our own breasts to the assassins' bullets – is based on the understanding that others do not share the same concern.
In this case, the killers have another identity, their own reason to defy death and to express solidarity; their point of reference is their religion. Western liberal thinking is based on individual rights which are protected by the state and enshrined in its institutions. As individuals, we identify with each other as equal members of a group whose function is to protect us and to allow us the freedom to develop. Our allegiance is to a system that tolerates diversity – until differences threaten stability and prosperity. However deep-seated, our beliefs are relative and flexible, our minds are attuned to change and religion is a personal issue. Religious fundamentalism and political extremism see stability as allegiance to absolutes: Their followers cannot improvise, accept or adapt. They either endure or they take action against those who question, who threaten their concept of the world. Their strength and conviction cannot be shaken because it has a divine source.
It may be impossible to defend a tolerant, contemporary society against its enemies without changing that society. Once conflict begins, no policy nor good intentions can reconcile the existence of two very different worlds. The slaughter in Paris will pour fuel on the fire of nationalist extremists across Europe, weakening the concept and the ideals of a united Europe. This will most likely prompt further reaction from Islamist extremists. Moderate forces will be marginalized, threatening the core of liberal society.
In the past, such fundamental differences in world view were separated by geography, by physical and political borders. Within those borders, when minorities drew the attention of the majority it usually ended with their being wiped out. Today, different world views and different frameworks of identity coexist in many societies. Modern weapons allow a few fanatics to wreak maximum havoc and, through modern media, to influence the behavior of the many. Conversely, today's states have the power to monitor the words and deeds of every individual within their borders and beyond. When those in positions of power feel that the majority's fear and anger override concerns of civil and personal liberties, they will violate those liberties, setting off a chain reaction that will stop only with total surveillance of the population.
The result will be a monoculture, a dictatorship of those who control the means of monitoring the behavior and, consequently, the thoughts of the population. Whether this is a dictatorship based on protecting the core values of a religious or secular society, the result will be the same: total domination of the individual. Democracy, which harnesses the power of diversity through the imposition of equality, will be impossible. The war that has begun is not between the pen and the sword, between tolerance and intolerance. It is between life, which arises only from the messy marriage of the different, and death, which is impatient to impose its certainty on all.

The idea is that when you are on youtube listening to a song, you can click on this extension, and it will search the song in Spotify and add it to a playlist. I know how to achieve this using python and synching your liked videos into Spotify playlists. However, what I want to achieve is to make a search, not from the liked videos but the video page itself, and eventually turn that into a chrome extension. I know that chrome extensions generally use js/Html so should I ditch using python for this project? Or is there a way I can use python as a "backend" of sorts for the chrome extension. Thanks!

Q: take-while on clojure.string does not work I'm wondering why clojure does not treat string as an array like in scala or haskell.
I want take-while function on string as in scala below
scala> "chich and chong".takeWhile(_ != ' ')
res1: String = chich

But take-while in clojure does not seem to work with string.
user=> (take-while #(not= % " ") "chich and chong")
(\c \h \i \c \h \space \a \n \d \space \c \h \o \n \g)

Just to make sure char/string equality works in clojure,
user=> (= " " " ")
true

user=> (not= 'A " ")
true

take-while does work with vector only.
user=> (take-while #(< % 0) [-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3])
(-3 -2 -1)

Tried converting string to vector as well, but returns the same as input.
user=> (vec "apple")
[\a \p \p \l \e]

user=> (take-while #(not= % "p") (vec "apple"))
(\a \p \p \l \e)

how can I use take-while with clojure.string?

A: You should write character literal instead of string with space:
user=> (take-while #(not= % \space) "chich and chong")
=> (\c \h \i \c \h)

That is because:

*

*" " - is java.lang.String

*\space - is java.lang.Character
more info \ - Character literal

A: Just to point out that your code would work in ClojuseScript, because the host platform (JavaScript) has no character type, so characters are represented as one-character strings. On the JVM though characters are there own type.

Q: how to maintain database output in combo box or dbgrid after closing TAdoconnection In this question my objective is to retrieve a database table content.
populate dbGrid, close connection.
If I use the following code, dbgrid or combobox are going to loose the information.
adoQry := TADOQuery.Create(self);
adoQry.Connection := adoConn;
adoQry.SQL.Add(SqlStr);
adoQry.Prepared := true;

try
  adoQry.Active := True;
except
  on e: EADOError do
 begin
   MessageDlg('Error while doing query', mtError,
              [mbOK], 0);

   Exit;
 end;
end;
for i := 0 to adoQry.RecordCount - 1 do
begin
  cmbCnty.Items.Add(adoQry.Fields[1].AsString);
   adoQry.Next
end;

FreeAndNil(adoConn);
FreeAndNil(adoQry);

In case dbGrid, I use StringGrid and it works for me.
However, sometimes I would like to use dbGrid, but not sure how to keep a content with the close connection to the database (after retrieving the content, of course)
Any suggestions, examples would appreciated.
Chris

A: You can populate a TClientDataSet with your Query ResultSet, and then link the TClientDataSet to the TDBGrid.

A: If I remember correctly (it a long time agoo I used it, and i can't try it from here), you can set the connection on til adoQuery to nil, and then it behaves like a disconnected dataset (like t-client dataset).
But the data goes away if you close the dataset (adqQry).
In the comment it was stated that the above statement is incorrect (and I still haven't tested it).
But in this Microsoft Knowlegde Base article "How To Create ADO Disconnected Recordsets" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184397, it shows the same technique.
The same technique is also described in the Delphi about article "TOP ADO programming TIPS" http://delphi.about.com/od/beginners/l/aa021202a.htm
It it correct that setteing connection to nil in most dataset, also closes the dataset.

A: Benny is correct.  You may have to use an TAdoDataSet instead of a TAdoQuery.  TAdoDatasets and TClientDatasets have similar functionality.  From my understanding, the TAdoQuery components were designed to help migrate a BDE app to dbGo.


The B cell receptor (BCR) consists of an antigen-binding membrane immunoglobulin (mIg) associated with the CD79α and CD79β heterodimer. Nai¨ve B cells express the IgM and IgD isotypes, which have very short cytoplasmic tails and therefore depend on CD79α and CD79β for signal transduction. After antigenic stimulation, B cells undergo isotype switching to yield IgG, IgE, or IgA. Recent research suggests that the ability of the B cell coreceptor CD22 to regulate BCR signaling depends on the isotype of the mIg cytoplasmic tail. Cell lines that express a BCR with the cytoplasmic tail from IgG, the isotype found in memory B cells, are not subject to CD22 regulation, whereas cell lines that express BCRs with IgM cytoplasmic tails are subject to CD22 regulation. Moreover, stimulation through BCRs containing an IgG cytoplasmic tail causes increased numbers of antigen-specific clones to accumulate. These observations are a valuable step toward understanding the difference in B cell signaling between nai¨ve and memory cells. Here, we discuss the implications of these findings for CD22 regulation and signaling through the mIgG-containing BCR.

VirtualBox is a free, open source, cross-platform application for creating, managing and running Virtual Machines (VMs).You've heard a lot about Linux and you'd love to try it out, but you don't know enough to take the plunge and install it alongside Windows - maybe you're worried you'll wipe all your files off in the process. Besides, you'd like to have another computer handy so that you can look something up if you get stuck, but you don't have another computer. This is it.
Or maybe it's the opposite. Perhaps you've taken a step out of your comfort zone and ditched Windows - maybe for Ubuntu, or maybe for Mac OS X. You feel liberated! No more Blue Screens of Death! You're living life on the edge, getting on with your work… and then you come to a screeching halt. You discover that a piece of software crucial to your workflow runs on Windows… and only Windows.
Whatever shall you do? Then somebody introduces you to VirtualBox. Suddenly you gain the power to conjure virtual computers out of thin air. They don't take up space on your desk, yet they work just like a real computer does. They can be conjured up and removed with little more than a few clicks. Intrigued?

Property in Delaware Watershed added to popular Bear Creek Preserve

MEDIA, PA (Nov. 10, 2016)--Natural Lands Trust, the Open Space Institute (OSI) and other partners have added 153 acres to the expansive Bear Creek Preserve. The acquisition, which increases the size of the preserve to 3,565 acres, adds permanently protected habitat for native wildlife and will provide direct access to the reservoir for fishing and boating.
The land, purchased by Natural Lands Trust from landholder Blue Ridge Real Estate Company on November 7, was a conservation priority because it serves as a buffer for the reservoir, naturally filtering pollutants to protect the water quality of the Lehigh River downstream. The Lehigh is part of the massive Delaware River watershed, which supplies water to some 22 million people—about 10 percent of country's population.
"Saving forested land is critical for drinking water protection throughout the Delaware River Watershed," said Peter Howell, OSI executive vice president. "Clean water is also instrumental in supporting healthy communities and wildlife. OSI congratulates Natural Lands Trust on completion of this critical project."
The newly acquired acreage also offers opportunity for an expansion of Bear Creek Preserve's existing 31 miles of hiking trails as well as connection to a larger trail network within the 1,800-acre Francis E. Walter Dam area. Working in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Natural Lands Trust also plans to take advantage of the land's proximity to the Reservoir and install an additional boat launch for canoeists and kayakers.
"Our nature preserves are an essential part of our conservation work because they allow us to foster connections between people and nature," said Molly Morrison, president of Natural Lands Trust. "This addition will allow us to do just that by welcoming thousands of hikers, boaters, fishermen, and others."
Another potential beneficiary of this conservation effort is a small bat known as the eastern small-footed myotis, which is a "threatened" species in Pennsylvania. This tiny bat—among the smallest in North America—is in decline due to habitat loss and white-nose syndrome. The species thrives in expansive forested areas like Bear Creek Preserve. As about 90 percent of their preferred habitat is on private land, protecting them is challenging, which makes this addition to the preserve all-the-more significant.
OSI provided funding for the project through its Delaware River Watershed Protection Fund, capitalized by the William Penn Foundation. Through the Fund, OSI seeks to protect water quality in the Delaware River Basin. The Bear Creek Preserve addition will protect two tributaries to Bear Creek that are state-classified High Quality Cold Water Fisheries streams. The protected creek also reduces flooding as it flows downstream into the Lehigh River.
Natural Lands Trust also received funding for this acquisition from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and direct funding from the William Penn Foundation.
"The value of DCNR's long-time partnerships with Natural Lands Trust and other conservancies is accentuated in this acquisition and addition to Bear Creek Preserve," said DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn. "With this acreage comes invaluable watershed and wildlife habitat protection, and improved access to visitors who will appreciate it for generations to come."
Natural Lands Trust anticipates it will open the new addition to visitors when funds become available to create parking facilities.

Matilda Tao's Husband Li Liren Apologises For Showing His Middle Finger At Daughter's Basketball Match
Things got really heated.
By Ilsa Chan
Taiwanese actor Li Liren, who is the husband of Taiwanese host Matilda Tao, issued an apology on Instagram this morning (Jan 6) after it was reported that he had shown the middle finger during his 14-year-old daughter Dou Dou's basketball match.
According to Taiwan's Mirror Media, Dou Dou, who is in junior high, was asked to play in a High School Basketball League (HBL) game due to the lack of players last month. However, the coach of the opposing team reported Dou Dou to the organisers and so she was asked to leave the match.

Matilda and Liren, both of whom were present at the game, were said to be furious with the ruling and reportedly caused quite a scene from the sidelines.
According to witnesses, not only did Liren reportedly show the opposing team's coach the middle finger, he also yelled: "This is a kid's competition. Why are you so calculative? Are you afraid to lose that's why you won't let my daughter play?"
Matilda, on the other hand, was said to have yelled: "Unfair! Unfair!"
It was an oversight on Dou Dou's coach's part
When news of their outburst made headlines, Matilda explained through her manager that it was Dou Dou's coach who had signed her up for the match and that the couple did not know their daughter wasn't qualified to play.
"Matilda did not pull strings to get her daughter in… They thought she qualified. The coach has since apologised and admitted that it was an oversight on his part," said Matilda's manager, adding that the couple were only there to cheer Dou Dou on.
A year older and wiser
Meanwhile, Liren, who turns 47 today (Jan 6), apologised for his "childish" behaviour on Instagram this morning.
"In 2020, there were people that were offended by my emotional reaction. I sincerely apologise. I am almost 50, but the control of my emotions is like a 25-year-old! I have been reflecting on my actions. I will grow up quickly. I'm sorry," he wrote.
Despite Liren's apology, some netizens still found it hard to forgive his behaviour.
"HBL is the high school league. Regardless of how good your daughter is, you can't by pass the rules! As a public figure, his words and actions are inconsistent. He violated the rules and still cried foul and made such remarks. I am shocked," commented a netizen.
Dou Dou has big dreams
According to reports, Dou Dou has shown a talent for basketball since a very young age and Matilda and Liren have been very supportive of her b-ball dreams. The couple, who also have a 11-year-old son, are always at her matches and would occasionally share photos and clips of her in action on social media.
Matilda previously revealed that Dou Dou hopes to play basketball in a US high school and they have already set aside a sum of money for her education abroad.

'Impractical Jokers' presents more tomfoolery on Tru-TV
by vent wing
On tonight's episode of 'Impractical Jokers,' a tribute to boys who never grow up, Tru-TV, the disclaimer rings across the screen stating the warning that the following program contains scenes of graphic stupidity among four lifelong friends who compete to embarrass each other belly laughs and outrageous stunts from the four guys fans have come to know and love. Joe Gatto, Sal Vulcano, Brian "Q" Quinn and James "Murr" Murray were all born without filters and will do just about anything to win a challenge on this episode untitled, Episode 224.
As the episode begins, they are in a mall and must dip a French fry into someone else's food without permission. For this one, they team up and the team with the least amount of unauthorized dips will lose. Murr & Joe are up first. One will distract people, as the other attempts to dip. The Murr faked a sneezing fit while Joe did the deed. Sal used a distraction of a sizable lump in the front of his pants, while Q attempted to do the dipping. From ass scratching to hiding under a food court table, the team of Joe & Murr is down by one.
Next, the guys posed as workers at Jimbo's Bar & Grill in Seaside Heights, on the Jersey shore. They had to say or do whatever the others told them to do, or they lose. Sal was behind the counter taking an order and had to wave a foot-long hotdog at a couple who were ordering. Then he had to fling a chicken wing at a man who was walking by. When he did, the wing hit something and splattered on his hat. Did the seagulls send him a present? No, the customer came in demanding to know who threw the chicken finger at him. Sal lost that one because he would not admit he threw it. Joe was next at the counter as he told male customers that they could pop their shirts off in the restaurant. He even told an older woman. she could do the same. When Q was up, he told a customer that the guy in the kitchen showed him his junk. Murr delivered food to a table and had about two pounds of sand in his pants that he had to shake until it all dropped. Murr had to continue handing a man pickles while he was ordering his food. With Sal & Q losing that one, the score is tied with each guy having a loss.
For the next challenge, they were in a park looking for a girl named Beth; anyone named Beth will do. Q tried to find a Beth and even got a bite of a girl's sandwich. When he found a Beth, he was home free, but Joe lost the challenge and the episode. What demeaning thing will he have to do?
Joe had to walk his effeminate dog named Cannoli with bows in her hair. It was 5 p.m. and the streets were full of busy people as he strolled along Wall Street in New York City wearing a bumble bee costume. He must keep walking until someone tells him that he is cuter than that adorable dog. Because the outfit did not work, they made him change into another outfit; this one was a cowboy, complete with the boots and hat. Just one problem; his ass was sticking out of the two holes in the pants. Next he was a bride and the dog had a tuxedo, finally someone told him he was cuter than the dog and the challenge was over; however, not until the guys got to throw rice at the blushing bride on this episode of 'Impractical Jokers.'

Alt-J Agency Booking Profile
English indie rockers Alt-J, named for the delta symbol that appears when pressing "Alt" and "J" on a Mac keyboard, first formed in 2008 under the moniker FILMS. The quartet members, all of whom met at Leeds University, spent two years rehearsing before inking a deal with Infectious Records in 2011. Their signature blend of layered, folk-inflected dub-pop and soaring alternative rock was first heard on the 2012 singles "Matilda" and "Fitzpleasure," with the group's full-length studio debut, An Awesome Wave, arriving later that year. The album would eventually go on to earn the prestigious Mercury Prize, alongside three Brit Award nominations. They soon became mainstays on the U.K. and European festival circuit, expanding outward with tours in the U.S. and Australia as well. Their sophomore record, This Is All Yours, was issued in the autumn of 2014. Critically well-received, This Is All Yours debuted at number one in the U.K. and fared similarly well in Europe and the U.S., where they earned their first Grammy nomination. In March of 2017, Alt-J issued "3WW," the first single from their much anticipated third studio long-player, Relaxer, which dropped in June of that year.
