assisted him with his advice and varied information through every part of the work. He must next express his gratitude to the Rev. Henry Cotton, D. C. L., Archdeacon of Cashel, whose knowledge of books, and kindness in communicating it, are too well known to need his panegyric.
To the Rev. Dr. Bandinel, the learned Librarian of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, he is deeply indebted for indefatigable exertions in examining the various MSS. of the magnificent collection intrusted to his care, and communicating numerous letters, and other documents, which have been published in different parts of the work.
To the Rev. William Jacobson, Vice-Principal of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, he gladly acknowledges his obligation for assistance in procuring copies of many MSS. preserved at Oxford, more particularly of the Sermons, which were obtained from the Library of Balliol College, through the kindness of the Master, the Rev. Dr. Jenkyns.

JAMES USSHER, D. D.,
ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH.
JAMES USSHER was born in the parish of St. Nicholas, in the city of Dublin, on the 4th day of January, 1580–1. His father, Arnold Ussher, was one of the Six Clerks in the Court of Chancery, and was descended from an English family of the name of Neville. The first of this family who settled in Ireland was usher to King John, and, coming over with that prince, changed the name of his family for that of his office, a practice not unusual at that period. His mother was Margaret, daughter of James Stanihurst, one of the Masters in Chancery, Recorder of Dublin, and Speaker of the Irish House of Commons in three successive Parliaments.
Of the early life of James Ussher only a few anecdotes have been transmitted. It is not a little remarkable that he was taught to read by two aunts who had been blind from their infancy. Of these relatives he always spoke with the greatest affection and respect, and from them he appears to have imbibed his first religious impressions.
From this circumstance most writers spell the name of the Archbishop, Usher; but he appears himself always to have written it Ussher. In the Appendix will be found a genealogy written by the Archbishop himself; and another more detailed one, for which I am indebted to the kindness of Sir William Betham, Ulster King of Arms.
His aunts had most tenacious memories; they remembered whatever was read to them, and could repeat by heart a large portion of the Bible. To this book of books, as he always called it, the young student devoted his earliest attention; and he was able to say of himself, "that from a child he had known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make a man wise unto salvation." Some of his biographers are anxious to point out the precise moment of time when his conversion took place, and have fixed upon his tenth year, when he heard a sermon preached on the passage in the Epistle to the Romans, "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." This is a mere attempt to support the doctrines of Calvin by a remarkable example. From all that has been handed down it may safely be concluded, that James Ussher was one of those happy individuals, who, educated in a deep sense of religion, and brought up in the fear of the Lord, had duly cherished the grace vouchsafed to him in baptism, and had been, day by day, assisted from on high to imitate, in all humility, his divine Master, and "grow in wisdom and stature, and favour with God and man."
A strange combination of circumstances supplied Dublin at this time with two schoolmasters of very superior attainments. James VI. of Scotland, doubtful of succeeding quietly to the throne of England on the death of Elizabeth, sent over to Dublin in the year 1587 two clever emissa
b Dr. M'Crie, in his Life of Knox, seems to doubt that they were sent over by James; but such a proceeding was perfectly consonant with the crooked policy of that extraordinary individual. Dr. Parr states it as an undoubted fact, and he surely must have heard from Archbishop Ussher the history of his tutor. And if any thing be wanted to confirm the evidence of Dr. Parr, it may be found in the honours conferred upon the two individuals, and the large grants of land made to them in Ireland by James. Birch, in his Life of Prince Henry, states, that they were first brought into notice by conveying the letters of some of the English lords "who worshipped the rising sun," to King James, in Scotland, and bringing back his answers, "that way being chosen as more safe than the direct northern road," in order to escape the vigilance of Elizabeth.
CYTILOKMI
ries, James Fullerton and James Hamilton", to keep up a correspondence with the Protestant nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood of Dublin: and they, to conceal more effectually the object of their mission, opened a school in which Fullerton acted as the master, and Hamilton as the usher. Although the office of a schoolmaster was assumed merely for the purpose of concealment, yet both these individuals seem to have been eminently qualified to discharge its duties. It is most probable that Fullerton was an early pupil of the learned Andrew Melville, who had brought from the Continent to the University of Glasgow a knowledge of the learned languages rarely possessed at that period, and who devoted himself to the instruction of those committed to his care. Dr. M'Crie has suggested the possibility that both Hamilton and Fullerton were class-fellows of Melville at St. Andrew's, because there appear in the list of admissions for his year, 1558, the names of James Fullerton and James Hamilton: but this seems absolutely impossible, for, as none of his class-fellows could be younger than Melville, who was admitted at twelve years of age, Hamilton must have been ninety-seven years of age at the time of his death in 1643; and yet only two years before he received a commission from the Lords Justices and Council,
Afterwards one of the first Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin. He was knighted by King James, soon after his accession, and appointed one of the gentlemen of the bed-chamber.
Afterwards one of the first Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin. In 1622 he was created, by James, Viscount of Claneboye.
e The school was opened in 1587, and it is remarkable that, in that same year it was ordered by the State, that no grammar but Lilly's should be taught in Ireland. The reason assigned for this extraordinary legislative enactment was, that the variety of grammars previously used in schools impeded the progress of the youth moving from one school to another. See Ware's Annals, ad. ann. 1587.
f That he was one of his most intimate friends is certain. Melville, in a letter to Sir James Sempill, of Beltrees, calls him his "intire and speciall friend;" and Fullerton was the person who communicated to Melville, when in banishment, the afflicting intelligence of his nephew's death. Fullerton died in 1630, and appears to have kept up his literary pursuits, after he had exchanged the life of a scholar for that of a courtier. Hume, in his Grammatica Nova, calls him, "virum doctum et in omni disciplina satis exercitatum," and speaks of discussing with him grammatical difficulties.

An iron enrichment experiment, EisenEx, was performed in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean during the Antarctic spring of 2000. Deck incubations of open ocean water were performed to investigate the influence of ultraviolet B (UVB: 280-315 nm) and ultraviolet A (UVA: 315-400 nm) on the speciation of iron in seawater, using an addition of the radioisotopes Fe-59(III) (1.25 nM) or Fe-55(III) (0.5 nM). Seawater was sampled inside and outside the iron-enriched region. The radioisotopic Fe(II) concentration was monitored during daylight under three different light conditions: the full solar spectrum (total), total minus UVB, and total minus UVB+UVA. A distinct diel cycle was observed with a clear distinction between the three different light regimes. A clear linear relationship was found for the concentration of radioisotopic Fe(II) versus irradiance. UVB produced most of the Fe(II) followed by UVA and visible light (VIS: 400-700 nm), respectively. UVB produced 4.89 and 0.69 pM m(2) W-1 radioisotopic Fe(II) followed by UVA with 0.33 and 0.10 pM M-2 W-1 radioisotopic Fe(II) and VIS with 0.04 and 0.03 pM m(2) W-1 radioisotopic Fe(II).

Pancakes are the easiest of the trifecta to make, in my opinion. You don't need a specialty item to bake it (sorry waffles), and you don't have to do any battering beforehand (French toast, don't let anyone change you!). You just mix batter and pour it onto a hot skillet, basically. This recipe is very simple, and the pancakes are delicious. These are fluffy, slightly sweet, and wonderful. Did I mention they aren't loaded full of calories? These are so easy to make, you won't have to go out to a diner for pancakes ever again.
The first step in this recipe is to make buttermilk by mixing white vinegar and milk together and letting it sit for 5 minutes. You can use buttermilk or you can make your own with vinegar and milk. Either way it will yield the same ingredient. I like making my own buttermilk because I don't often use buttermilk in baking or cooking so I don't like buying it for only one recipe.
Combine the flour, Splenda, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Just stir or whisk it together a couple times. Whisk the egg, vanilla, and melted margarine into the milk mixture. Add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until all the lumps are gone.
Heat a large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over with a spatula, and cook until golden brown on both sides.
These pancakes are so delicious. I topped mine with lite syrup and no calorie butter spray, and Samuel topped his with sausage and an over-easy egg. So, you can make savory or sweet pancakes with this recipe. These are so easy to make. These fluff up to be very light and soft. Also, they are very filling. These are the perfect third point to the breakfast trifecta. And you know me; these are perfect for any breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Mix the milk and vinegar in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Combine the flour, Splenda, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk in the egg, vanilla, and melted margarine into the milk mixture.
Add the liquid ingredients into the dry. Whisk until all lumps are gone.
Heat a large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over with a spatula, and cook until golden brown.
The vanilla added to this pancake recipe gives them a good flavor and they cook up so fluffy and light. My husband Isaac loved them. This will replace my old pancake recipe!
Yay! So glad you and Isaac enjoyed these.

Military surgeon reflects on service
The essence of professionalism
ACS should study sleep deprivation
Departments > Commentary > Letters > Letters to the Editor
By ACS
PUBLISHED March 1, 2014 • Print-Friendly
Editor's note: The following comments were received regarding recent articles published in the Bulletin.
Letters should be sent with the writer's name, address, e-mail address, and daytime telephone number via e-mail to dschneidman@facs.org, or via mail to Diane Schneidman, Editor-in-Chief, Bulletin, American College of Surgeons, 633 N. Saint Clair St., Chicago, IL 60611.
Letters may be edited for length or clarity. Permission to publish letters is assumed unless the author indicates otherwise.
It is with great pleasure that my wife and I thank the Bulletin for publishing the remarks of Alexander Stojadinovic, MD, FACS, in the December 2013 issue (Bull Am Coll Surg. 2013;98[12]15-18). His thoughts and perspectives on the "citizen surgeon" resonated clearly with this surgeon, who at 34 years of age and as a University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) chief resident was drafted in 1967; and with his U.S. Army Nurse Corps First Lieutenant scrub nurse of the same era and future wife, Jeannie Mitchell (Baldwin). Both of us, like all individuals who have experienced combat, returned "different"—more mature and caring, but also more watchful and wary.
We had the good fortune to work in the theater with some of the giants Dr. Stojadinovic mentioned, such as Col. Basil Pruitt, MD, FACS, and Col. Norman Rich, MD, FACS. Others include the great Michael DeBakey, MD, FACS, and UCSF's own World War II thoracic surgeon, Rose-Bowl-winning wide receiver, and fabulous teacher, H. Brodie Stephens, MD, FACS. The article reminded me of remarks that Ron Stoney, MD, FACS, made at the memorial for Jack Wylie, MD, FACS: "We stand on the shoulders of giants." This phrase was relatively new to me at the time, but since then, having seen some of the "kids" I mentored as residents become those giants, it has become more than a phrase—it has become a reality. Just a few who stood—unknowingly to both of us—on my shoulders to become more than I include former American College of Surgeons (ACS) Executive Director Thomas R. Russell, MD, FACS; Donald D. Trunkey, MD, FACS; ACS Past-President A. Brent Eastman, MD, FACS; ACS President Carlos Pellegrini, MD, FACS; and others.
The mentoring system works, and the citizen soldier, as I once was, has surgical contributions to offer upon return to civilian life. I performed approximately 1,800 operations between 1968 and 1969 in Vietnam, which was the highlight of my professional life. Dr. Stojadinovic clearly paints the picture of citizen surgeon courage. He quotes George Crile, MD, FACS, a founder of the ACS, who said, "More progress has been made in surgery from lessons learned during armed conflict than has been achieved by an entire generation."
Dr. Stojadinovic also quotes Canadian physician Major John M. McCrae's poem after the Second Battle of Ypres, World War I, "In Flanders Fields": "If ye break faith with us who die/ We shall not sleep, though poppies grow/ In Flanders Fields." Those of us who have served understand this sentiment completely. We "shall never forget."
Jeannie and I will travel to Normandy on June 6, 2014, for the 70th anniversary of D-Day, Operation Overlord, and we will walk on Omaha Beach and Flanders Field remembering those giants upon whose shoulders we stood, when as a young surgeon and nurse in combat, now 45 years long, we used the teachings of J. Englebert Dunphy, MD, FACS; Dr. Stephens; Victor Richards, MD, FACS; Carlton Mathewson, MD, FACS; Dr. DeBakey; and all the rest to fix young Americans, Aussies, Vietnamese, and, yes, Viet Cong soldiers using the best surgical techniques we could offer, learned from the many great Fellows of our College.
Thank you, Dr. Stojadinovic, for bringing tears to our eyes as we remembered what we have been given and those brave men and women whom we have served as citizen surgeons.

The articles by Paul H. Jordan, Jr., MD, FACS (Bull Am Coll Surg. 2013:98[1]:58-60), and Roger A. Meyer, MD, DDS, FACS (Bull Am Coll Surg. 2013:98[11]:39-41), on professionalism and the medical profession were excellent. Yet, the true essence of "professionalism" cannot be overstated—especially as solo practice nears extinction. A physician may be the most talented, well-educated, specially trained, and well-reputed individual and still not be a true professional.
The Hippocratic Oath states:
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.… I will not cut for stone…. [but] will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners….*
Though the oath makes no mention of the "professional" or "professionalism" by word, the essence of these modern terms must have been clearly understood and intended by Hippocrates.
A professional uses special knowledge, skill, and a sense of duty to act primarily in the best interest of an individual who requires or has contracted for service. Professionalism is the mindset that brings about this special type of practice. For a professional, what one is becomes integral to what one does—and vice-versa.
A professional is not by necessity highly educated or trained; however, all professionals not only believe in their value as individuals, but also in the value of their endeavors to help others. Professionals also acknowledge their limitations; and, as such, provide further value to those they serve.
As the U.S. and the American College of Surgeons (ACS) advance further into the world of corporate medical practice, industrialization, and universal health care, surgeons (and other physicians) should promote and retain a focus on the value of professionalism to our lives and to the well-being of our patients.

In the December 2013 Bulletin (Bull Am Coll Surg. 2013;98[12]:36-41), Edwin W. Shearburn III, MD, FACS, discusses sleep deprivation, the surgeon, and patient care. He suggests guidelines for use in potentially unsafe work practices, despite the fact that none of the work practices are proven to be unsafe. As a surgeon, should I hand off a patient with a surgical abdomen (resulting in perhaps a wait of two hours) to satisfy the hospital guidelines at the risk of violating optimal patient care guidelines? Lawyers will have a field day with such a scenario; I suggest caution.
I agree with the author that all medical personnel should be exposed to education regarding sleep deprivation. More study is needed in this area, and who better to study surgeons than the ACS? At the very least, it is important that surgeons agree on important endpoints regarding the potential effects of sleep deprivation. The general public demands action on this topic, even if further study reveals there is a minimal problem. If the ACS doesn't initiate a study, the government will.

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - St. Mary's College of Maryland women's basketball topped the visiting York College Spartans 81-78 in an overtime thriller on Saturday (Feb. 9) afternoon during Senior Day. The victory snapped a 15 game winning-streak that the Spartans had over the Seahawks. The Seahawks honored seniors Kobe Chaney and Katie Robey before the game. St. Mary's has now won two consecutive games.
The first quarter of action was competitive, like much of the game, as the Seahawks and Spartans played to a 9-9 tie. St. Mary's finished the quarter strong with five unanswered points to give themselves a little breathing room heading into the second. Hallie Persell drained two free throws and Kelli Jenkins converted on a three-pointer during the run.
York cut into St. Mary's lead to start the second and eventually knotted the score up at 18 apiece with seven minutes left in the quarter. Cassidy Kupchinskas sunk a jumpshot seconds later to retain the lead for the Seahawks. However, the Spartans used a late second quarter push to grab a 34-29 lead at halftime.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Seahawks managed to even the score at 41 thanks to a made Persell jump shot. Both squads continued to go toe-to-toe for the next few minutes of play and were tied once again at 50. The Spartans tacked on five straight points to go up 55-50, but he Seahawks answered with the next four points. Next, Katie McGowan hit a jumper with three seconds remaining in the third stanza and York took a 57-54 lead into the fourth.
A couple of clutch three-point shots made by Jenkins and Janey Mathisen tied the game at 67 with 6:07 left in the quarter. York retook the lead, 69-67 unitil Jenkins drained another three ball for a 70-69 Seahawk advantage, their first of the quarter. York led 74-72 with time dwindling down in regulation, but Gina Siefert tied things up once again with a layup with 35 seconds remaining. York had plenty of time for one last possession, but the Seahawk defense held strong, forcing the game to overtime.
Seifert showed up in overtime for the Seahawks, accounting for St. Mary's first four points. The Seahawks held a slim 79-78 lead with just 25 seconds remaining and York resorted to fouling. St. Mary's converted on their free throws for the victory.
Seifert led the Seahawks with the lone double-double on the team. She tallied 17 points and had a monster night on the glass, collecting 15 rebounds.
Chaney collected 13 rebounds and added four points.
Mathisen finished with 16 points and Jenkins recorded 15. Jenkins shot five-of-seven from three-point range.
McGowan led the Spartans with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

A Third of the World's Population Could Be Blanketed in Sahara-Like Heat by 2070
Bydls
Brain geniuses like Elon Musk may want to colonize Mars, which sure. But for simpletons like me, keeping Earth mostly habitable seems like a better use of time and resources.
If carbon emissions are allowed to continue unchecked, though, that may be a tough proposition. According to a new study, extreme heat now only found in parts of the Sahara could spread to nearly 20 percent of the globe (and nearly a third of humanity) if carbon emissions aren't curtailed. The paper, published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, makes a pretty compelling case to cut carbon emissions and not fry the world.
The authors of the new paper use a host of historical data going back 6,000 years ago to uncover just what conditions make humans tick. It turns out people can make do with all levels of rainfall, with humans living in all but the very driest places on Earth. Civilization has also adapted to all types of soil fertility. The biggest limiting factor in terms of human habitation is how hot it gets.
The results of the study show people thrive in a narrow temperature band, where the average annual temperature spans 11 to 15 degrees Celsius or roughly the 50s if you're into Fahrenheit. It's in that belt where many staple crops grow best and livestock can be highly productive, and it's why the authors define it as the "human climate niche." That's not say there aren't other confounding factors for human thriving, but temperature is one of the key elements linked with well-being.
Unfortunately for us, there's a shock on the way if climate change continues unchecked. We're already seeing the toll rising heat is taking on people around the world, from heat wave-related deaths to billions of hours in lost productivity because it was simply too hot to be outside. Still, humans have made it work in many hot places, from Phoenix to New Delhi to Dubai. But eventually, climate change could overwhelm us.
The study uses RCP8.5, a scenario where carbon emissions rise on an extreme level, to model what the end of the century would look like for our little human climate niche. The results show it would contract substantially. The Sahara is one of the only places on Earth where the annual average temperature cranks above 29 degrees Celsius (84 degrees Fahrenheit) and where the human climate niche basically ends. The areas with that much heat only cover 0.8 percent of the world's land. But by 2070, that type of heat would become commonplace over nearly 20 percent of land on Earth. That area is home to up to 3 billion people who, if they don't migrate, will be living in conditions humans have never been able to tolerate for year-round existence.
Graphic: Xu, et al., 2020
What's more, this spike in temperature over the intervening 50 years will be more dramatic than anything experienced in at least 6,000 years. You know, the period where human civilization really hit its groove.
The results are truly shocking in map form. Nearly all of Brazil will become essentially uninhabitable, as will huge chunks of the Middle East and India, showing the poorest areas will be hit the hardest. But the impacts aren't limited to developing countries; the U.S. South, parts of Australia, and Mediterranean Europe will also see temperatures beyond the niche. The flip, though, that North America and Europe will also make habitability gains. When scientists found last year that we were all going to want to move to Siberia by the end of the century, they weren't kidding.
That's what's most alarming about the results. They show that, absent curbing emissions, there will almost certainly be mass migrations out of the hot zones. It won't all happen in 2070 like a switch flipped. Rather, some areas will pass the climate niche threshold first, potentially triggering waves of migration. The results show that, first and foremost, we need to start cutting emissions now. But just as important is the need to prepare for climate-induced migration in the future. And not in the ecofascist kind of way.

Responsibility for Mideast unrest shared by senators
By James A. Mcclure / Albuquerque Resident
Tuesday, January 14th, 2020 at 12:02am
It's no surprise that President Trump's military strike against Iran's top terrorist leader drew a negative reaction from New Mexico's two senators. What's escaped notice is the role Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich played in enabling the Iranian aggression that finally prompted U.S. retaliation.
Both senators supported President Obama's Iran nuclear deal in 2015. Heinrich in particular was one of the agreement's most outspoken supporters. Neither senator objected when the agreement bypassed the Senate ratification that's customary for treaties.
Whether the agreement slowed Iran's nuclear weapons program is debatable. What's indisputable is that lifting economic sanctions enabled Iran to finance unprecedented aggression throughout the Middle East. Instead of using its new-found wealth to help its citizens, Iran backed a genocidal regime in Syria, started a proxy war in Yemen, developed long-range missiles, supplied weapons for repeated attacks on Israel and attacked American forces in Iraq. Our senators' support for lifting sanctions allowed Iran to buy those weapons and pay those fighters.
The agreement our senators supported did not make Americans safer. Iran has continued to seize American hostages. Iran developed the improvised explosive devices that have accounted for most U.S. casualties in the Middle East, and those casualties continued to mount after the nuclear deal was signed.
I'm sure our senators supported the nuclear deal with the best of intentions and did not anticipate its consequences. Yet they have been silent as Iran went on a rampage. Udall and Heinrich justifiably condemned Saudi Arabia for killing a journalist but ignored the dozens of journalists killed in Iran. Now they are blaming Trump, not Iran, for conflict in the Middle East. Perhaps they do not take Iranian chants of "Death to America" as personally as the rest of us.
Our senators – and the rest of us – certainly should hold President Trump accountable for the success or failure of his foreign policy. But members of Congress are accountable for their actions as well. Udall and Heinrich supported lifting sanctions and have refused to criticize Iran's subsequent aggression. I do not expect them to admit that their actions have had consequences, but perhaps they will think about this the next time they visit a veterans' hospital.

Q: watir: How do I enter a value in a form, without submitting the form with watir? I have a simple login form that has 2 text fields and a button.
I can set the text of the username field just fine.
When I set the password field however, the form automatically submits, and I get an error.
From IRB:
irb(main):008:0> ie.text_field(:name, "j_password").set("password")
WIN32OLERuntimeError: unknown property or method `value'

Any ideas why the error, or why the form is being submitted?
Note: I can set the fields just fine without the form being submitted using perl, vbscript, python, autoit, etc.

A: I could tell you more if you posted relevant HTML or link (if page is public), but my guess is that entering password fires JavaScript event that submits the form. Access is denied. could mean that there is a frame, and IE does not allow access to it (http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Frames).
Maybe this would help:
ie.text_field(:name, "j_password").value=("password")

This is a candy recipe from my Grandma. She would always send us some of this for Christmas.
Remove cover and cook to 290 degrees on a candy thermometer, then add vanilla, and cook to 300 degrees. DO not stir while boiling.
Gradually reduce heat to as mixture thickens to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat and Quickly stir in sifted soda. Pour into buttered large cookie sheet as it foms. Do not spread, it will spread itself.
When cool break into small pieces. Dip into melted chocolate.
Melt Chocolate (milk or semisweet) in double boiler with 1/2 cake of parafin wax.
Are you supposed to STIR in the vanilla? "ADD" is not a very descriptive action verb and since it says not to STIR it while boiling...well, it is confusing. I didn't stir (I was afraid to) so it scorched. It was still yummy and fun, but not at all like the picture!!!!
No I'm originally from PA, but I bet my grandparents found this in Buffalo NY.
Are you from Buffalo NY?
I've just added a picture of what sponge candy looks like. It is divine! It's so light inside, it's no wonder some people call it fairy candy. It is not cotton candy. That's spun sugar. Entirely different premise.
Yep - I'd like to see a picture too....wondering why it's called sponge candy....?
This sounds very interesting. Do you have a picture?

Thumbcast is a term used for the mobile delivery of text, picture, audio, or video content via short message service, multimedia messaging service, WAP push, or other mobile distribution mechanism. The term is an evolution specialized for original mobile content, coming from the generally audio-based podcast, the input mechanisms of multi-tap and  predictive text, and the distribution of content directly to mobile phones.

Timeline
 On 15 March 2007 US mobile media company 80108 Media launches their public Web site at , referring to the SMS subscription channels as thumbcasts. The company provided the following brief definition for the term:
Think: podcast for your phone. Our thumbcasts are hand-crafted by local correspondents and delivered direct to you as text messages.

 On 9 April 2007 the Boston Globe published an article titled Snippets of news, via cellphone with the following opening sentence:
Thumbcasts are coming to Boston.
The term 'thumbcast' became one of that day's 'Hot Searches' on the site.

Is there any subject more sensitive than the subject of abortion? Is there any topic that has more related social issues connected to it than this topic? Maybe this is why so many churches have distanced themselves from speaking boldly about it.
To make matters worse, many churches that do speak about this topic end up militantly pressing only the legality of the issue and miss the human side of this emotionally packed subject. I wonder what Jesus would say on this topic if He were speaking this Sunday? Well, that is, in fact, a wonderful goal that we will pursue.

What is Evidence?
Category : Law of Evidence
Section 5 of the Evidence Act says," Evidence may be given in any suit or proceeding of the existence or non-existence of every fact in issue and of such other facts as are hereinafter declared to be relevant, and of no others."
The Section says that 'Evidence may be given….' But what is Evidence?
This word is used in common parlance in three different senses (a) as equivalent to relevant (b) as equivalent to proof, and (c) as equivalent to the material on the basis of which courts come to a conclusion about the existence or non existence of disputed facts.
For example we may say, the presence of an accused person near the scene of the crime just before the crime was committed, is evidence that he may be guilty; whereas his presence after the crime was committed, at the same place, is not evidence of the guilt of the accused. In this statement the word is used as equivalent to relevant. Again we may say that the possession of stolen article immediately after the theft is evidence of the fact that the person in whose possession it is found is either theft, or a receiver of stolen property. In this statement, the word is used as equivalent to proof, which is really the effect of evidence. But it is neither of these senses that the word is used in the Act. It is used in the third sense mentioned above, namely, as equivalent to the material placed before the Court on the basis which the court comes to a conclusion as to the existence or non existence of a disputed fact. It is defined in Section 3 of the Act as bellow:
"Evidence".—"Evidence" means and includes —
(1) All statements which the Court permits or requires to be made before it by witnesses, in relation to matters of fact under inquiry,
Such statements are called oral evidence;
(2) All documents including electronic records produced for the inspection of the Court,
Such documents are called documentary evidence.
The definition of word "evidence" Under Section. 3 of Indian Evidence Act is explanatory and not precise. It consist oral evidence and documentary evidence. Oral evidence is evidence of the fact brought to the knowledge of the court by the verbal statement of witness, quality to speak on the point he testifies. It includes all statements, which the court permits or requires to be made before it by witness with regard to matter of fact under inquiry.
Documentary Evidence is evidence of the fact brought to the knowledge of the court by inspection of the document produce before the court.
Oral evidence is verbal testimony of the witness whereas the documentary evidence is written testimony of a witness of the document. Oral evidence is adduced, documentary evidence proved before it is admitted as evidence.
There are following kinds of Evidence:
1) Direct Evidence –
It is also known as 'positive evidence'. Evidence given by direct witness / eyewitness is called Direct Evidence. Direct Evidence is the testimony of a witness to the existence or non existence of a fact or fact in issue. It is evidence of fact actually perceived by a witness with one of his own senses.
A is tried for setting fire to the house. B deposes that he saw A setting Fire. B is eye witness. A sues B for breach of contract C deposes that he was present at the time of agreement entered into between A and B witnessed. In this Example C is the direct witness/ Eye witness.
2) Indirect / Circumstantial Evidence –
In cases, where direct evidence is not available, then circumstantial evidence can be resorted to. Circumstantial evidences is that which tends to establish fact in issue by proving another fact which though does not itself conclusively establish that fact, affords and inference as to its existence.
Relevant case law
1) A.C. Lagu vs State of Bombay AIR1960 SC 500, 1960 SCJ 779: The accused, in the instant case was family doctor. He was tried for murder of is patient, a rich woman and sentenced to death on the basis of the circumstantial evidence.
2) Kalua Vs. State Of U.P. AIR 1958 SC 180
In this case Kalua was charged with the murder of the deceased by shooting him a pistol. The Circumstantial evidence proved was:
A) Few days before the killing of the deceased the accused had held out a threat against him.
B) A cartridge was found near the cot of the deceased.
C) A pistol was recovered from his house.
D) Fire-Arm Expert gave his opinion that cartridge found near the cot of the dead body was fired from pistol produced by accused.
It was held that there could be no room for thinking in the circumstances established in this case, that anyone else than the accused might have shot the deceased. He was convicted.
3) Real Evidence –
Real or material evidence is the evidence of fact brought to the knowledge of the Court by inspection of physical object and not by information derived from the witness or documents, for e.g. stolen property, weapons, etc.
4) Personal Evidence –
Personal evidence is an oral testimony of the witnesses, which is afforded by human agent by way of disclosure or by voluntary signs.
5) Original Evidence –
Original evidence is that which a witness reports himself to have seen or heard through the medium of his own senses for e.g. A says that he saw B murdered C with sword.
6) Hear-say Evidence –
It is also known as second hand or unoriginal evidence, a witness is merely reporting not what he himself saw or heard but what he has learnt in respect of the fact through the medium of the third person. It is a statement made by a witness of what he has been said and declared out of court by a person and not before the court. Hearsay evidence is no evidence and is not admissible.
Illustration –
'A' is being tried for stealing B's Cycle. 'C' as witness says that he (C) heard 'D' saying that 'D' saw 'A' with B's Cycle. Such evidence given by 'C' is not admissible on the ground that testimony of C is hearsay evidence.
Hearsay Evidence means whatever a person is heard to say it includes:
1) A statement made by a person, not called as witness;
2) A statement contained or recorded in any book, document or record which is not admissible.
The hearsay witness may not be able to say correctly and completely the truth of his statement.
(General rule is that hearsay evidence is no evidence but Indian Evidence Act provides certain exceptions to this rule see in detail Hearsay Evidence)
7) Primary evidence –
Primary evidence means the document itself produced for the inspection of the Court. (S. 62).
A sold his house to B for 50,000/-and executes registered sale deed. In a dispute as to the title, if B produces before the court, the sale deed, it is primary evidence.
Primary evidence is considered as the best evidence since it provides proof with certainty. That is why law insists/requires first the primary evidence. The document may be in counter parts, and then each counterpart is regarded as primary evidence. If the document is made by uniform process like printing or lithography, each one constitutes the primary evidence.
8) Secondary evidence –
Secondary evidence means inferior or substituted evidence which itself indicates the existence of more Original source of information (Sec. 63). Secondary evidence may be given in the absence of the (better) primary evidence if proper explanation is given for such absence. Section 65 of the Evidence Act provides for circumstances in which secondary evidence is admissible.
According to Section 63 copies made and compared with the originals, or Photostat copies may be treated as secondary evidence.
Following are the circumstances in which secondary evidence is admissible (Section 65).
1) The person in possession of the original is not within the reach of the Court.
2) If the original is in possession of the opposite party.
3) If the original is lost.
4) When original deed had already been admitted in the Court.
5) If Original is public document.
6) When the original is not easily movable; and
7) When the original consists of many accounts.
9) Oral Evidence –
All statement which the Court permits or requires to be made before it by witnesses, in relation to matter of fact under inquiry; such statements are called Oral evidence;
10) Documentary Evidence –
All document including electronic records, produced for the inspection of the Court, such documents are called Documentary Evidence.
The expression 'document' is defined in section 3 of the Evidence Act, as follows:
"Document".—"Document" means any matter expressed or described upon any substance by means of letters, figures or marks, or by more than one of those means, intended to be used, or which may be used, for the purpose of recording that matter.
Writing is a document;
Words printed, lithographed or photographed are documents;
A map or plan is a document;
An inscription on a metal plate or stone is a document;
A caricature is a document.
11) Judicial Evidence –
It is evidence received by courts of justice in proof or disproof of facts, the existence of which comes in question before them. Judicial Evidence is a species of the genus evidence and is for the most part nothing more than natural evidence, modified by rule of positive law.
12) Non-judicial Evidence –
Evidence given in the proceeding before the Magistrate or officer not in a Judicial capacity but in an administrative one, is non Judicial evidence, e.g. evidence in proceedings u/s. 164 of Cr. P.C. i.e. recording of confession and statements. (Confessions made to Police Officer are inadmissible)

Q: Why is my dynamically valued dictionary iteration ( in parallel ) throwing away my locally scoped variables? Follow up from:
How do I iterate through a dynamically valued dictionary in parallel?
If I run a function using a locally scoped variable, my program eventually just throws away the value - which has left me utterly confused.
Why is this happening?
Simple Example:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Data;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Dictionary<string, object> Dict = new Dictionary<string, object>() {
                { "1",  new Dictionary<string, object>() {
                    {"Columns",new object[1]{ "name"} }
                }},
                 { "2",  new Dictionary<string, object>() {
                    {"Columns",new object[1]{ "name"} }
                }}

            };
            int i = 0;
            foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> record in Dict)
            {

                var _recordStored = record; //THIS IS(was) SUPPOSED TO FIX MY WOES!!!
                new System.Threading.Timer(_ => {
                    i++;
                    //if i comment the next line, the code "works" ( albeit doing nothing really" )
                    processFile((Dictionary<string, object>)_recordStored.Value, new List<object>{});
                    Console.WriteLine("Val: " + _recordStored.Key + " ThreadID: " + System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId+ " "+ i);
                }, null, TimeSpan.Zero, new TimeSpan(0, 0,0,0,1));
            }

            for (; ; )
            {
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
            }
        }

        public static void processFile(Dictionary<string, dynamic> record, List<object> fileData)
        {

            DataTable dt = new DataTable("table");
            foreach (string column in record["Columns"])
            {
                dt.Columns.Add(column, typeof(string));
            }
        }
    }
}

Which has the output:
Val: 1 ThreadID: 12
Val: 2 ThreadID: 11
Val: 1 ThreadID: 11
Val: 2 ThreadID: 12
Val: 2 ThreadID: 12
Val: 1 ThreadID: 11
Val: 2 ThreadID: 12

But will eventually ( after ~880) iterations just start printing
Val: 2 ThreadID: 10
Val: 2 ThreadID: 12
Val: 2 ThreadID: 10
Val: 2 ThreadID: 12
Val: 2 ThreadID: 10
Val: 2 ThreadID: 12

The wierdest thing about all this is, that when I remove the call to processFile the code will always execute perfectly.

A: This is garbage collection at work, correctly doing its job mind you.
The problem is related to your timers.
Before reading further, note that your trick to use a locally scoped variable was entirely correct. This was just not the problem you were having. So continue doing that, if you hadn't done that you would have had other/more problems.
Ok, so, you construct two timers, since you have two values in your dictionary, and they run "forever", that is until they're collected.
You're not keeping the references to the timers, so eventually the garbage collector will collect one or both of them.
When it does, it'll run the finalizer of the timer before it collects it, and this will stop its execution.
The solution is to hold on to your timers, or to not use timers at all, but let's stay with the timers, the solution is easy to fix:
int i = 0;
var timers = new List<System.Threading.Timer>();
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> record in Dict)
{
    var _recordStored = record; //THIS IS(was) SUPPOSED TO FIX MY WOES!!!
    timers.Add(new System.Threading.Timer(_ => {
       ... rest of your timer code here
    }, null, TimeSpan.Zero, new TimeSpan(0, 0,0,0,1))); // extra end parenthesis here
}
for (; ; )
{
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
}
GC.KeepAlive(timers); // prevent the list from being collected which would ...
                      // end up making the timers eligible for collection (again)

Now: Here's a snafu that will trip you up. If you're running this in the debugger, or in a DEBUG build, the fact that it's the first value that disappears is completely normal, at the same time that it is completely normal for the second value to never disappear.
Why? Because all variables have had their lifetime extended to the duration of the method. In the loop, when you say simply new System.Threading.Timer(...), the compiler silently redefines this as this:
var temp = `new System.Threading.Timer(...)`

This variable (temp) is overwritten on each loop iteration, in effect keeping the last value assigned to it, and this timer will never be collected as long as you are running this in the debugger or in a DEBUG build, since the method that defined it never finishes (the endless loop at the bottom).
The first timer, however, is free to be collected since there is no longer anything keeping a reference to it.
You can verify this with this LINQPad program:
void Main()
{
    for (int index = 1; index <= 5; index++)
    {
        new NoisyObject(index.ToString());
    }
    for (;;)
    {
        // do something that will provoke the garbage collector
        AllocateSomeMemory();
    }
}

private static void AllocateSomeMemory()
{
    GC.KeepAlive(new byte[1024]);
}

public class NoisyObject
{
    private readonly string _Name;

    public NoisyObject(string name)
    {
        _Name = name;
        Debug.WriteLine(name + " constructed");
    }

    ~NoisyObject()
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(_Name + " finalized");
    }
}

When you run this in LINQPad, make sure the little button down to the right in the window is switched to "/o-":

You'll get this output:
1 constructed
2 constructed
3 constructed
4 constructed
5 constructed
4 finalized
3 finalized
2 finalized
1 finalized

Notice how the 5 is never finalized?
Now turn on optimizations by clicking that "/o-" button and turn it to "/o+" to enable optimizations (RELEASE build):
1 constructed
2 constructed
3 constructed
4 constructed
5 constructed
5 finalized
4 finalized
3 finalized
2 finalized
1 finalized

And now 5 is also finalized.
Note: What I said about about a temporary variable being introduced doesn't really happen just like that, but the effect is the same.
If you change the main method of the above LINQPad program to this:
void Main()
{
    new NoisyObject("Not finalized when /o-");
    for (;;)
    {
        // do something that will provoke the garbage collector
        AllocateSomeMemory();
    }
}

you can verify that running it under "/o-" will never finalized the object (well, never is such a strong word, not in the time I waited for it anyway), and it will under /"o+".
Bonus question: If you had dropped the GC.KeepAlive(timer); from the solution I presented above, wouldn't the fact that I have stored it in a variable change the behavior?
Not really. The problem is the lifetime of the variables. The compiler and JITter uses information about where a variable is used to figure out which variables are considered "live" at any point in time.
For instance this code:
void Main()
{
    var obj = new SomeObject();
    CallSomeMethodThatNeverReturns();
}

wouldn't this keep obj alive indefinitely? No. At the point where the method is called, that variable is no longer used, no code can/will access it, and thus the garbage collector is free to collect it.
This is what I meant about the lifetime of a variable. In a DEBUG build (optimizations off), or when running under the debugger, the above code looks like this:
void Main()
{
    var obj = new SomeObject();
    CallSomeMethodThatNeverReturns();
    GC.KeepAlive(obj);
}

in essence preventing the object from being collected. GC.KeepAlive is essentially a no-op method that the compiler and JITter cannot "optimize away" and will thus seem to use the object in question, thereby extending its lifetime.
This is not done in a RELEASE build (optimizations on), and so a production program might behave differently from under development.
Conclusion: Do your testing on the same type of build that your customers will get.

Labour deeply concerned about possible default on i360 loan
5th December, 2022
The Labour Group on Brighton & Hove City Council have today expressed 'deep concern' about the potential of a major default on the next instalment of the i360 loan.
The i360 has consistently failed to live up to initial business projections – as Labour always predicted, being the only political group in the city to vote against backing the Green/Tory vanity project with 100% public funding when private sector partners could not be found.
Now, only months after the Council agreed to restructure the repayment of the loan owed to the local authority by the i360's operators, Labour has learned that there is the possibility of a major default on the next instalment of the loan repayment, following questions we raised at last week's Policy & Resources Committee meeting.
The Labour opposition's co-leader and finance lead, Cllr Carmen Appich, said:
"Labour never wanted the public purse to fund the i360, it was a flawed business model from the outset – as we tried to convince our Green and Conservative colleagues of at the time.
"Its ongoing impact on council finances is totally unacceptable, particularly in the face of savage cuts from central government and increased demand for services in this cost-of-living emergency, and we are deeply concerned about the potential of a major default on the next loan repayment.
"Labour councillors will leave no stone unturned in improving the governance of the i360 and examining every possible solution to salvaging some return on taxpayers' ill-spent money."

i appreciate the generous and positive comments from each of you on my living room. i also appreciate those who really hate my living room. seriously. one should be careful when everyone speaks well of them, there is always a negative nelly or a debbie downer somewhere. can the church say amen?
so here is the real story. this is NOT how i intended for my living room to turn out. my goal was to have a black white and grey room, with hits of paprika. thats it. if you have followed me for any length of time you know i am all things black and white. however, as i began to pull items from storage they all seemed to work together (so i think).
i am really enjoying this room. because this room was done on a very tight tight budget, i am able to switch some things out for a new look without fear of losing money.
ok here are a few answers to the living room details.
this is an old picture of the bench. it was from big lots about 2 years ago and costs $89. they now sell it for $129.
i simply used some of the stripe fabric to recover it with. this fabric is also used in my bedroom as well as the gallery wall.
the gallery wall is the focal point of my living room. it is the first thing you see when you enter. i struggled for a while as to what should go there. i considered bookcases, but as a renter i didn't want a lot of "furniture"
miss cleo is actually a $4 piece of fabric that i found while thrifting one morning. i simply framed it. the abstract art in the middle was a donation to an organization i worked for many years ago. no one wanted it and was going to trash it. so i kept it.
the two pictures on the stripe fabric are special to me. one is the key to the city of Darlington, SC my hometown. i received this after becoming governor of boys state. the picture to the right is a picture of me with george w bush i met him in 2001 as a delegate to boys nation. (if you arent sure what boys state and boys nation are, i will do a separate post).
the letter "c" was found at goodwill, but these are easy to find at craft shops. oh yea. i have recently moved the letter up a few inches, it was racking my nerves being so low.
black and mustard pillows were bought last year on discount at target for $19.99, i think. the paprika ones in the bedroom came from target as well. the geometric pillows were found at homegoods for $14.99 each. crate and barrel sells them in the lime green colorway for $39.99.
these huge lamps were from goodwill at $9.99 each. i walked out with them and a lady saw them...she said to her shopping buddy, "did you dem in dere?" shopping buddy says, "i did, but i ain't want dem thangs."
my reaction to self, "oh yea of little design faith"
why are those bottles behind the sofa? they do not belong there.
the lamps were $2.99 each at goodwill. lakeitha threaten me if i painted them. so as of now, they arent painted and they fit in the space.
the sofa will warrant its own posting next week. click here for a look back at the sofa.
$29.99 at goodwill. it works too.
i didn't share this picture yesterday, but here is an angle of my living room with the drapes. these are the same "custom" drapes that hang in my dining room (click here for more on those). i didnt want a different set of drapes for the living room because it is an open concept space and cohesiveness was important.

Rueben says
Well, you know I'd love to be there, David. But I'm afraid that's smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics here in beautiful B.C. In fact, on Feb. 25 I think I may actually be obligated under the Canadian constitution to watch the gold medal women's hockey game – which, odds are, will see the Canadian women handily trounce their American counterparts…again…
Women in hockey sweaters over Murray in golf togs? Rueben, you're a damned fool.
David, you're obviously still bitter because LAST Olympics our women hockey players kicked your women hockey players butts handily, IN SPITE of the insanely one-sided officiating of the AMERICAN referee and linesmen during the final series!
Reuben – pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!!! Those of us who do not live in the West and will have to watch all this on TV are WICKED JEALOUS of you!!!

5. Dave Whelan
Position: full-back
Not a famous one in the soccer world! Huh?! First of all, you need to know that the former player is currently 83 years old and as he was not a famous one as a player, it's normal for many not to know him. But the question is why is his name in the list and more specifically why is he fifth?
Well, though his dad was a coal miner, and he was a player to play just for 10 years, Dave Whelan became a successful business magnate after his playing days.
In fact, it seems like he was born more of a businessperson than a football player, which fortunately he figured out himself.
After being retired from professional soccer, he focused on his chain of supermarkets, Whelan's Discount Stores, which were sold to Ken Morrison, another supermarket chain, for almost 3 million Dollars in 1978.
Just one year before this, he bought sports and fishing store J. J. Bradburn and renamed it to JJB Sports. The company was the empire, which grew throughout the '80s and '90s, and eventually became the U.K.'s second-biggest retailer.
However, that is not all, and the wealthy former football player also owned other big companies and clubs, such as DW Sports Fitness, Wigan Athletic F.C., Wigan Warriors, and Orrell Rugby Union Club.
4. Lionel Messi
Country of birth: Argentina
Position: Attacker
Did you know that the best footballer of all time, is not first on our list, but is fourth? What else do you think you may not know about him? Check out it out on "Top facts about the best footballer in the world, Lionel Messi".
The six-time Ballon d'Or and European Golden shoe winner has spent his entire professional career with Barcelona, where he currently earns $650,000 per week.
However, that is not all, as the famous captain has had a brilliant performance in international level as well.
In addition, he has an interesting revenue through his sponsorship contracts such as his life-long deal with Adidas.
David Beckham is one of the bests in the football world with no doubt who has played in many teams, including Manchester United, Preston North End, Real Madrid, Milan, LA Galaxy, Paris Saint-Germain, and the England national team. Currently, he is the president of Inter Miami CF and also is the co-owner of Salford City.
It is interesting to know that he is the first English footballer to become a league titleholder in four different countries: England, Spain, the United States, and France.
Anyway, it has to be said that the former player is not just earning cash from football, but he also has income as a businessperson, a model, and a spokesperson.
Club: Juventus
Country of birth: Portugal
Thinking about the best football player in the 21st century, you will definitely remember Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. However, you have to know that though they are the bests, they are not the richest! In fact, Ronaldo is the second with $450 Million of net worth, while Messi is standing the fourth.
However, it has to be said that for Ronaldo playing professionally is not the only way to earn money. In fact, the Juventus hero not only earns the most amount of money per week in club soccer but he also has his famous brand CR7 in addition to various business ventures including his hotels and clothing line.
It is interesting to know that currently, the player earns $663,000 per week, which gathers him $35 million per year.

1. Faiq Bolkiah
Total Net Worth: $20 billion

Currently, the Brunei national team captain, Faiq Bolkiah, who also kicks the ball as a midfielder for Leicester City is standing first on our list. But the question is how?!
Interestingly he's the son of Jefri Bolkiah, Prince of Brunei, and the nephew of the Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah and that's how he has put Ronaldo, Messi and David Beckham behind, to stand on top of the list of the wealthiest soccer players in the world.

ACK Lab is an interdisciplinary venture that aims to provide resources and space for inclusive collaboration within the theatre community.
Since early 2015, PTC has been learning about inclusion. Artists with a lived experience of disability are underrepresented on stage and as writers, directors, designers – in every aspect of the Canadian theatre world. So we decided to investigate how we make theatre at PTC, and how we can work differently to include artists we've been excluding. We've been lucky to have Inclusive Design expert Jan Derbyshire lead our focused project, the ACK Lab, which was funded by a Bly Creative Capacity Grant, and a Leadership for Change Grant.
We had six months of intense conversation, learning the social model of disability, and looking at our Writers' Colony as a test case. With Jan as our Dramaturg, we brought writers Janet Hinton, Heidi Janz, and Adam Warren together as our 2015 Colony, with the emerging dramaturgs of Delinquent Theatre, Christine Quintana and Laura McLean. Through workshops with actors – including actors with a lived experience of disability – design sessions, and intense dramaturgical meetings, all three writers transformed their drafts. These collaborations in turn transformed PTC's ways of working, and our understanding of access as a constant process of learning and negotiation.
If there is one primary idea we'd like to share, it's that artists need to have power to self-determine their own processes, and to develop and tell their own stories. "Nothing about us without us" is real, and needs to be measured by who has the power and who is getting paid.
We're at the beginning of a journey, and we'll be sharing our discoveries and resources in a series called Infrequently Asked Questions. Sign up for the newsletter to get your IFAQs regularly.

From the Big Apple to the Big Bear: Birmingham?
So we are off to Birmingham next weekend and this time I would actually like to see something rather than simply go to the convention.
Last time, I asked the shuttle driver what he would suggest, and he couldn't give me anything that he felt I should, as a tourist, visit. Which I thought was very sad. So we had a great meal at a gastropub recommended by a friend.
This time however, I would really like to see something cultural or architectural: anyone have any ideas?
Stratford Upon Avon, Warwick, Cadbury World, Millenium Point, Sealife Centre, Black Country Museum, take a barge trip to Lapworth, Bullring for shopping.
And if you want a tour of pubs, I can point you in his direction!
I really want to give you an amazing suggestion, but my only memories of great things in Birmingham are the convention center events and a fabulous curry!
Sorry - I am sure there are others who will be more help.
Frau Dietz and Fiona: Thanks.
One of the German's co-workers also recommended Cadbury World, so I may try that. But shopping is not my thing and we are at a convention out by the NEC, so I was hoping to find a few things to take a look at in the city center, so I could take the shuttle in, explore a bit, and go back out. But we will visit the same gastro pub we did last time (made reservations today), as we are foodies, rather than drinkers:-).
Stratford and Warwick are neat (I've been), but I don't know how much time I want to take away from the con and on Easter weekend I can't imagine the bus and train service is tremendously helpful(we won't be renting a car)!
Now, this made me laugh.
