Whew! I am back after a whirlwind weekend with family in Chicago. This will be the last of the posts about stuff we've made for our upcoming food swap.
I thought candied ginger would be a nice treat heading into fall. It's definitely not for the faint of heart – and it's not really "candy." It's spicy, and packs a serious punch. Which makes it especially fun as a topping on something that is otherwise very sweet. It also is great for soothing an upset stomach.
I'll be keeping this around for most of the fall and finding fun ways to use it. Now where's my gingerbread recipe?
We used Alton Brown's recipe for this, and we'll be trading it at our upcoming food swap!
Here's what you need:
- Nonstick spray
- 1 pound fresh ginger, peeled and sliced at 1/8 inch thick.
- 5 cups water
- Approximately 1 pound granulated sugar
Start by preparing your landing station. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper. Place a cooling rack on top and spray it thoroughly with nonstick spray.
Put the ginger and water into a saucepan, cover and cook for 35 minutes on medium heat. The ginger will be tender when it is thoroughly cooked.
Drain the ginger in a colander and weigh it. Put it back in the pan, and then measure out an equal weight of sugar (WEIGHT is very important here and is really the only acceptable form of measurement in this application).
Add the sugar and another 1/4 cup of water to the ginger in the saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until all the water boils away and you are left with only sugar – it will re-crystalize and coat the ginger slices. If the heat is high enough, this will only take 20 minutes or so.
When it starts to recrystalize, transfer the entire contents of the pan to the cooling rack and allow to, well – cool. Keep the sugar that falls down to the baking sheet – it will be deliciously gingery.
Store the candied ginger in an airtight container for 2 weeks. Eat by the piece or chop and use as a topping for sweet desserts and baked goods. It would be a great addition to ice cream, the icing on top of a cake or quick bread, or an addition to frosted, fall-spicy anything!

Fuel Duty: With UK drivers already paying the highest duty and tax on fuel in Europe by some margin, RAC would like to see at the very least, fuel duty frozen, and the scheduled inflationary rises scrapped.
Fuel stabiliser: RAC believe the Government should revisit the stabiliser and look at alternatives that actively help reduce/control the price at the pumps. For example, a mechanism that reduces fuel duty and is funded by additional revenues from VAT and North Sea oil taxes arising from further crude oil price increases.
Regulation of fuel pricing: RAC believes the Government should consider either extending the remit of OFGEN and/or holding a public enquiry into the issue of transparency of forecourt pricing.
RAC would like to see investment and innovations in areas where alternatives to motoring can make a tangible impact e.g. developing safe cycling routes, maintaining concessionary and free fares, increased parking at train stations, and continued availability of park and ride.
RAC believes the Government needs to create a national framework to ensure local authorities maintain similar roads to the same consistent standards.
RAC recommends long term repairs of pot holes using Government funding to best effect as compared to short term solutions which fail in the next cold spell.
RAC calls on the Government to remove barriers to local communities assisting in tackling problems of adverse weather conditions in their local areas.
RAC wants the Government to consider raising the speed limit to 80mph on those stretches of motorway where their construction and usage patterns are such that the benefits to users would offset any safety or environmental implications.
RAC calls on Local Authorities to do an audit of their speed cameras (fixed and average) to ensure they are correctly located to minimise crashes.
With the Government's decision to keep the drink-drive limit at 80mg per 100ml of blood, RAC calls for increased random breath testing to target excessive offenders through more robust enforcement of the existing laws plus increased education on the morning after effect.
RAC wants Government to encourage all those involved in social media to push the road safety message with regards to in-car phone usage and other causes of driver distraction.
RAC calls on the Government to rigorously enforce the law on mobile phone usage and continue to increase the numbers being caught as a visible and proven deterrent. Businesses should also be asked to step-up their efforts to educate and monitor their workforce.
With the price of alternative powered vehicles becoming more of a barrier to their purchase, RAC calls on both the Government and manufacturers to provide more information on the overall long-term cost savings that are achievable as well as the environmental benefits.
Both parties must also consider how they can make the initial purchase of these vehicles more accessible, through the potential extension of existing Government grants and by exploring alternatives to the traditional methods of pricing and buying a car. Investment in refuelling/recharging infrastructure must also remain a priority.

Unruly secures £16m for overseas expansion
By Sarah Shearman, mediaweek.co.uk, Thursday, 05 January 2012 08:20AM
Unruly, the UK-based social video promotion and distribution specialist, has received a $25m (£16m) investment to fuel its international expansion.
The company, founded in 2006 and formerly known as Unruly Media, secured the money from investors including Amadeus Capital Partners, Van den Ende & Deitmers and Growth Fund.
Unruly has nine offices worldwide including its London headquarters. It claims to reach a global audience of 725 million unique users, distributing campaigns across a range of platforms including YouTube, Facebook, premium publisher sites and blogs.
It has seeded online videos including Evian's "roller babies" and Old Spice's "man your man could smell like." The company recorded 2011 revenues of $25m.
Martijn Hamann, partner of Van den Ende & Deitmers, said: "With global online ad spend set to reach $110bn by 2014 and online video ad spend predicted to be the fastest growing category, we believe Unruly is strongly positioned to be the winner in the global social video market."
In January 2011 a rival online video distributor, GoViral, was acquired by AOL Europe for £61m.
News of Unruly's investment comes in the same week the company was embroiled in the Google Chrome paid link debacle.
Unruly, on behalf of Google's digital media agency Essence, paid bloggers to promote the Chrome ad campaign and one of them added a link to the product.
This led to Google flouting its own webmaster rules and consequently penalising Chrome in its search rankings.

ORLANDO, FL – You might have heard of Kevin Spear, a local celebrity editorial writer for the Orlando Sentinel who often covers local and state-wide news regarding energy and the environment. Last Sunday on our bi-weekly Swarm ride, Kevin and his wife joined us for the journey, and decided to create a short video, photo album, and write a front-page story in the paper on Wednesday, February 17th, 2015!
Kevin introduces Fleet Farming by describing "kids, moms, hipsters, students and dads pedaling their bikes and wield borrowed tools to cultivate lettuce, kale and other organic greens in vibrant gardens of Orlando yards."
Also quoted in the story was actress and farmlette host Andrea Baker, who said "I love the idea of zero carbon, zero pollution," And, well, there's more. "They do absolutely everything, and I get to sit with a cup of tea and watch," she said, laughing in appreciation. "I get to enjoy."

3D drivers are provided by Mesa. radeonhd is the 2D driver. The 3D Mesa driver will work with new enough versions of radeonhd just as it does with radeon.
Printable View
3D drivers are provided by Mesa. radeonhd is the 2D driver. The 3D Mesa driver will work with new enough versions of radeonhd just as it does with radeon.
Yes, radeonhd and radeon have essentially the same features. If you go back maybe ?four? months the 2d acceleration code in radeonhd could not use the drm, so you were unable to use both 2d and 3d acceleration at the same time (they need to both use drm to avoid conflicts). Since the 1.2.2 release radeonhd has been able to use 2D and 3D acceleration together as well.
What radeonhd 2d acceleration? All I seem to be getting out of 1.2.4 is shadowframe buffer performance. OTOH, the stock Ubuntu 8.10 fglrx driver is very fast (relatively speaking). Also your assertion doesn't agree with this table:
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature (last updated 1/8/09)
which clearly shows that 2d acceleration (EXA) is WIP. And you can't both be right about 2d status. :rolleyes:
It's a pity that this table doesn't have a R700 fglrx column as well.
I read your entire post and while it is very informative I was not able to distill from it the essential info to address my needs. What am I looking for? Nothing fancy really. No need for 3D or anything exotic. All I want is the fastest possible 2D along with video playback (via vlc and mplayer) that is free from artifacts (ripples, waves, scrolling, drop outs, discontinuities, etc.). So based on these needs what driver features should I be setting my sights on and which linux driver (either binary or one which I have to build) will address these needs?
If I'm not satisfied with ShadowFB it looks like my only options are:
1. Use Ubuntu 8.10's fglrx until something better is released (either by Canonical, Debian, or ATI).
2. Install Catalyst 8.12 (unsuccessful with this effort).
3. Backport Debian sid's 8.12-4 fglrx to lenny (also unsuccessful).
Feedback and clarification greatly appreciated.
BTW, for anyone tempted to ask, my HW is very fast. i7 @ 4 Ghz with 6 GB. Video card is 4850. I don't think lack of horsepower will have bearing on the optimal driver solution. :)
Sure we can ;)
Before 1.2.2, for GPUs which *did* have 2D and 3D acceleration you couldn't use 2D and 3D at the same time. For GPUs which did *not* have 2D and 3D acceleration yet, the ability to use 2D and 3D at the same time was not an issue. Right now radeonhd has acceleration for 5xx and RS690 in master, and WIP EXA/Xv acceleration for 6xx and 7xx in a branch.
True, but the table is too big already ;)
Sure, but since modern GPUs don't have dedicated 2D or video render acceleration hardware all this has to be done on the 3D engine anyways. It's hard to avoid exotic these days...
The safe route is to stay with Ubuntu's 8.10 fglrx. The interesting route is to try building the 6xx-7xx branches of drm and radeonhd (you need both) to watch the progress with the open source drivers, but flipping back and forth between fglrx and the open drivers is not trivial.
and what about power management? it would be the last blocker to my radeon/radeonhd usage :)
with fglrx temperature of the GPU is 34°C... with other drivers is 65°C.
Since this is a laptop, when I write, my right hand is exactly over the location of the GPU... and it's really uncomfortable if it's 65°C.....
without thinking about energy sucked for nothing, and life of components...
Try using that, after updating your radeon drivers. It should result in a cooler gfx-card.Code:Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "true"
Option "DynamicPM" "true"
Martje: Take another look at the date on the previous post ;P
BTW, this thread really needs destickified (yes, I made that word up) or updated.
radonhd still has flickering with xv, radeon does not (no compiz used). Somebody should port that to radeonhd.
Is this why games in fullscreen sqeeze out more fps instead of windowed games?Quote:
- when running "direct" rendering the DRI protocols allow 3D and 2D (X) drivers to work together
- when running "indirect" rendering the X server can coordinate everything itself and convert pixmaps to textures for compositing through GL
- Accelerated Indirect GL rendering through X = AIGLX
I don't think so - normally the app will run direct in both cases. The usual reason for faster performance fullscreen is that the driver can page-flip the entire screen rather than having to blit each new frame into the window area.
Most compositing desktops also have an option (usually on by default) which allows fullscreen apps to bypass the compositing step for better performance.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Federal authorities say platinum-selling rapper Ja Rule has left federal prison.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons says he left a correctional facility in New York's Adirondacks on Tuesday, though time remains on his sentence.
The bureau says the release date for the 36-year-old rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, technically remains July 28, with possible community-based supervision for the balance.
TMZ reports his wife picked him up and that he'll remain in home confinement until then.
Ja Rule had served most of a two-year sentence for illegal gun possession in a New York state prison before his release in February and subsequent transfer into federal custody in the tax evasion case.
He admitted failing to pay taxes on more than $3 million earned between 2004 and 2006.

Optical Transmission Research

Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1858 KB)
The availability of coherent sources producing usable amounts of power in the optical frequency range has stimulated considerable research in optical communications. Devices such as oscillators, modulators, detectors, and ancillary apparatus having desirable characteristics exist and are being used to design and build prototype terminals. Two possible media are being studied and means are being sought to improve their performance. They are 1) through-the-atmosphere propagation and 2) enclosed media with appropriate focusing and directing elements. Experimental optical transmission systems can readily be assembled with information capacities in a single RF channel comparable to those of microwave radio or millimeter waveguide. Such optical systems are not yet competitive for high reliability common carrier service because 1) long-distance transmission techniques of adequate reliability have not yet been advanced, and 2) optical repeater components are not yet competitive with their lower frequency counterparts. Some features characteristic of optical transmission systems are reviewed in this paper, along with a brief indication of the state-of-the-art for major components.

text: A New Take on the Ancient Biblical Story with Contemporary Themes The Musical by Pali L'Yriel Delevitt www.estheramusical.com New Musical Work: Three Concert Versions throughout the Triangle May 21-23; World Premiere Full Productions October 2010 in Durham "If I had followed logic or sage advice, I would have stayed hidden in the safety of my sex and prescribed role. But I followed love, for all its foolishness and all its risk, and came to know a side of myself that I would have left buried or unawakened though I had lived to a hundred and twenty. This is my story. "— Esther Media Contact: Allison Savicz, Esther Publicist photos, cd, interviews: email@example.com (919) 923-2791 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chapel Hill NC April 26, 2010—Esther: A New Musical, based on the timeless biblical tale, with music, lyrics and book by Chapel Hill composer, Pali L'Yriel Delevitt will have its world premiere in October 2010 at Durham's Carolina Theater with three concert workshops May 21-23 in Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh respectively. Initially conceived in 1985, the musical work stepped up in earnest in 2003 with a recording of some of the original score featuring an ensemble of local singers and musicians. Esther is an ancient story with contemporary themes; a timeless tale yet a story for our times. It tells of politics and prejudice, love and redemption, and the powerful influence of the Divine Feminine which flows through both Hebrew and Persian cultures. It is a powerful testimony to love, an impassioned plea for tolerance, and an indictment of the insidious undercurrent of politics that can knowingly or unknowingly destroy lives. It is a story of courage and faith in the face of the forces of power, and how the power of love can alter lives. Enriched with humor and satire, Esther is an electrifying new production, featuring a musical score that blends lush, captivating, lyrical melodies with the rhythmic heartbeat of global sounds. The story unfolds with six intriguing central characters and an ensemble of singers, who portray the King's Men, the Harem, visiting courtiers, and the many multi-cultural people of Persia. The vibrant choreography, from fierce sword dancers to fabulous belly dancing and beyond, sets the stage for this compelling story to unfold. This musical retelling of a familiar and favorite Biblical story introduces additional characters and themes, as well as a change of story line to reflect a deeper understanding and vision, while drawing the powerful parallels between those historical times and our world today. "My intention in writing Esther is to create a musical that is both intelligent and entertaining; one that leaves the audience deeply moved by the story as well as the music. The story of Esther has such a rich biblical and cultural history while addressing issues that are contemporary and eternal," said Pali Delevitt, composer, lyricist and Executive Producer of Esther. "My hope is that Esther will be more than a successful play and great entertainment, it will be an artistic voice that inspires the possibility and potential for peace and reconciliation between people of different cultures and beliefs, but a shared humanity," adds Pali. Esther-Synopsis Based on the Biblical book of the same name, Esther tells the story of a young Jewish woman who becomes the wife and queen of King Ahasuarus of Persia. The progression from dreamy- eyed young girl to concubine, to wife of Ahasuarus, finds Esther gradually transforming into the strong and courageous woman who will risk everything, including her life, to save others. This King has unwisely empowered his chief advisor, Haman, who reveals his true nature with a plot to have all the Jews of Persia annihilated. Esther, bolstered by wise council from her Uncle Mordecai, and the support of her friend and mentor, Vashti, risks her own life, exposes Haman and his plot, and ultimately saves her people and others around her. The story unfolds in ancient Persia where King Ahasuarus has banished the independent-minded Queen Vashti and is now looking for a new wife. Esther, a beautiful and gifted Jewish maiden, is forcibly carried off to become a concubine in the King's Harem. The former Queen Vashti recognizes something special about Esther, and becomes her friend and mentor, grooming her to become the next Queen, as Vashti's way of honoring "The Goddess." Ahasuarus is enchanted with Esther from their first meeting, and makes her his Queen. Mordecai discovers a plot to assassinate the King and informs Esther in time for the King to thwart the would-be assassins. Meanwhile, Haman, the King's Chief Minister, offended by Mordecai's refusal to bow to him, crafts a plan to exterminate all Jews in the entire kingdom on the 13th of Adar as retribution for Mordecai's "affront." Mordecai entreats Esther to go to Ahasuarus and ask him to intercede for her people, even though approaching the King unbidden is an offense punishable by death. But Ahasuarus' heart is moved by the sight of Esther, and he offers to grants her any favor she wishes. Esther asks the King and Haman to attend her banquet. There Esther exposes Haman's plot against her people, and the horrified King has Haman arrested and executed. Now Ahasuarus, along with Esther and Mordecai, race against time to find a way to override the original edict and save Persia from a bloodbath that would involve all people. In the end, Esther's wisdom, Mordecai's faith, and Ahasuarus' willingness to embrace a different possibility marks the beginning of a new era in the Empire. And the end of this story of Esther departs dramatically from the original. About Composer and Executive Producer Pali Delevitt A five-time cancer survivor since 1987, Pali Delevitt has learned the value of never giving up, no matter what the odds, and credits her love of music, dance and singing, and especially her passion to see Esther produced, with her continued healing and joy of living. She wrote, produced and directed her first original musical at age ten and continued to explore the many different aspects of theater, including playwriting, composing, choreography, as well as performance and directing. Pali studied at the University of Michigan School of Music, combining her music with training in theater and multi-media. She won the prestigious Hopwood Award for Creative Writing three consecutive years, including awards for poetry and playwriting. Pali earned her Masters at Tufts University, where she was a Teaching Fellow in Theater Arts, and developed a love for teaching as well as theatrical production. She founded the Boston Public Theater, where she produced her original work, a musically infused version of Oscar Wilde's Salome. While in Boston she also served as a coordinator for the Arts in the City summer program for Boston's young people. Pali earned an award from the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis for her original plays, and a grant from the Virginia Council on the Arts for her musical, Where I'm Comin' From. She initiated the restoration of the Theater at Little Washington in Rappahannock County, Virginia, which ultimately evolved into the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Addressing the need for both summer activities for the community youth and additional need for the arts, she started a Creative Arts summer youth program in Rappahannock County. Pali was honored by the Russian government for her work in "peace-building" with visiting Russian students in the play Peace Child, a project that created cross-cultural living and understanding between U.S. and Russian high school students while developing and performing an original musical, combined with training in conflict resolution. In her other life, Pali has been a pioneer in the field of "Integrative Medicine," creating innovative programs in medical education, teaching across the U.S. and Canada, including at UVA and Duke Medical Schools, advocating for improved patient/provider relationships, and the inclusion of "complementary therapies" as a resource for expanding the healing potential. She was delighted to discover how much creativity and talent for the arts exists in those practicing medicine, and is convinced that science, healing and music are deeply connected. Calling Chapel Hill her true home, Pali celebrates life's gifts including the love of her sons, Gabe and Dan, and her ever-encouraging family and friends. She dedicates Esther to everyone who has a dream they long to fulfill. Historical Roots of "Esther" and Interweaving of Spiritual Traditions This production of Esther chooses to focus on what connects people of differing cultures, rather than what divides them, and how different spiritual perspectives can co-exist in acceptance of each other, honoring what is good and meaningful for all. Both the Judeans and the Persians share a common historical origin in the ancient culture of Sumer which flourished for thousands of years in the Fertile Crescent which is now the Southern half of modern Iran. The City of Ur, where the Jewish and Islamic Patriarch, Abraham, first embraced monotheism and the God known as "Yahweh", was a major urban center of Sumer in 3000 B.C.E. It was in the city of Ur that some of the cuneiform clay tablets that inscribed the ancient tale of Inanna, the Great Goddess, were discovered. The Goddess Inanna would eventually become known as the Babylonian "Ishtar," and "Ishtar" would also be "Esther;" the Morning and the Evening Star, the Queen of Heaven and Earth. The role played by the Divine Feminine, "The Goddess," was central to these cultures for thousands of years, and wisdom inherent in the Goddess traditions was woven into the beliefs and practices of spiritual traditions across cultures and religious identity. "We feel the role of the "Divine Feminine" is very important in our lives more than ever. The story of Esther is part of that acknowledging of the strength and wisdom of the "Divine Feminine" that flows through everyone. Wherever we can offer love and be affirming of life, everyone benefits," said Pali. Esther Community Outreach Prior to the major premiere performances in October, Esther will be performed in concert workshops May 21-23, 2010 at UNC's Friday Center, Grumman Auditorium, the Durham Arts Council's PSI Theater and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh. Each performance will be followed by an educational dialogue with the audience, and a reception to meet the cast and creative team. The project intends to continue its educational initiative and outreach in the community going into the performance and beyond, believing that the Arts can provide a positive platform for the discussion of issues that impact all our lives. Committed to this purpose, a portion of the profits from Esther will be dedicated to community programs that create cross-cultural collaboration and understanding through the Arts. Cast Esther-A Musical In keeping with the theme of cross-cultural collaboration, Esther brings together a cast and creative team of diversity and talent from different ethnic and spiritual backgrounds. This dynamic group of local artists is excited to be co-creating, working and growing together, and embracing the same vision and purpose. Carly Prentiss Jones, soprano, Esther A young woman, orphaned by war, and taken from her homeland, Esther is called to a life and a role she would not have chosen, first in a Harem and then as a Queen.

Veronica Harper, soprano, Young Esther David Mellnik, bass baritone, Mordecai Esther's uncle, her wise protector, guardian, and spiritual guide.

Kendra Zodiaciller has been a black woman for the last 39 years of her life. She is a black mom to three black kids and she raised them black. In America.
Us: What can you tell us about the black mom experience?Kendra Zodiaciller: Well, of course I am a single mother struggling to raise three kids on one job. I don't have time to keep an eye on all of the kids so they get into all sorts of trouble.
Us: What sort of trouble?
Kendra Zodiaciller: Last time it was Scarface the youngest he got arrested by a game warden for throwing syringes at a North American Condor. It's a protected bird.
Us: What happened to him?
Kendra Zodiaciller: Triple life, but he got let out early since he only blinded the bird and gave it Hepatitis and didn't kill it. Prison had to make room for a guy that sexually tortures cranes.
Us: What about your other children?
Kendra Zodiaciller: Tupac and Lil' Hart are good boys.
Us: Lil' Hart?
Kendra Zodiaciller: Yeah, I named him after Basil Liddell Hart. He's my youngest.
Us: What's the hardest part about being a single mother of three dangerous black youths?
Kendra Zodiaciller: Finding time in the day to keep up with my crack cocaine hobby. I have to work so much and make the kids dinner, sometimes a black mom just wants to relax on a filthy mattress on the floor and do some crack while you can hear a baby cryin' in the background and sirens in the distance and then it fade to black or your kid looks in and sees you all messed up and he walks away...
Us: Sounds depressing.
Kendra Zodiaciller: Oh, it is, but we're black. We lead joyless lives of oppression and mediocrity. We die young and we black moms all too often outlive our black children.
Fact: Soledad O'Brien is like 1/70th BLACK so that makes all of this OK.
Up Next on BLACK IN AMERICA... Why Martin Luther King is non-scary to whites now and how Barack Obama could make life worse for blacks if he gets elected as President.
NFL teams may soon be lining up to bid on a man who can destroy defensive lines as thoroughly as he destroyed his own child's balls.

We all know that Excel talks way faster than the normal person. Her original voice actor, Jessica Calvello (see pic below) sure had a tough time in the production. In fact, did you know she retired part-way through Excel Saga? Her vocal chords just couldn't handle the speed at which Excel speaks.
Her replacement did a good job though. Congrats to Larissa Wolcott!

Thomas Addison
Apr., 1793
Jun. 29, 1860
English Scientist, Physician, and Medical Pioneer. He is best remembered for his discovery of the degenerative disease of the adrenal glands that was later named Addison's Disease in his honor. He was born in Long Benton, near Newcastle, England, where his father was a grocer and flour dealer. After attending the local village school he went to the Royal Free Grammar School in Newcastle. In 1812 he entered the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, Scotland to pursue a career as a physician and received his Doctor of Medicine Degree in 1815. He moved to London, England the same year and took up his residency as a house surgeon at the Lock Hospital. Inspired by his teachers, he became acutely interested in diseases of the skin which would stay with him for the remainder of his life. In 1817 he enrolled as a physician's pupil at Guy' Hospital in London. He obtained his licentiateship in the Royal College of Physicians in 1819 and some years later was elected a Fellow of the Royal College. In January 1824 he was promoted to assistant physician and in 1827 he was appointed lecturer of materia medica. In 1835 he was joint lecturer with Richard Bright on practical medicine, and in 1837 he became a full physician at Guy's Hospital. When Bright retired from the lectureship in 1840 Addison became sole lecturer. In 1849 he discovered Addisonian anemia or Addison-Biermer disease, now synonymous with pernicious anemia which involves Vitamin B12 deficiency and in 1855 he described Addison's Disease, sometimes called bronze skin disease, in his publication: "On the Constitutional and Local Effects of Disease of the Suprarenal Capsules." He was described a brilliant lecturer and attracted a large number of medical students to his lectures. He was also was a superb diagnostician but rather a shy and taciturn man and had a small practice, at a time when physicians of his position usually had large practices. One of the most respected physicians at Guy's Hospital, he exerted a great deal of influence, devoting himself almost wholly to his students as well as his patients. However, he suffered from many episodes of melancholia depression, which probably contributed to his retirement in 1860 and in June of that year he committed suicide at his residence in London at the age of 67 by jumping from an elevated area in front of his house and impacting his head, causing instant death.

Hi: 11° Lo:3°
ARMED robbers fled with a large amount of cash after bursting into the office of a Bromsgrove company and threatening one of the workers with a screwdriver.
The incident happened between 5.25pm and 5.42pm on Friday (January 10) at the firm on the business park off the Buntsford Park Road, Aston Fields.
The man who was working there at the time was confronted by the three raiders who were all 6ft tall, slim and wearing black coats with hoods up to cover their faces. One of them had a screwdriver and the man was ordered to lie down on the floor while the trio took the cash from the office.
He was forced to open safes and more bags of money were taken from them. And they then made him hand over his wallet, which contained bank cards and keys, before locking him in the building and making their escape.
Luckily he was not hurt during the incident and was able to raise the alarm straight afterwards.
Det Sgt Ed Slough, from North Worcestershire CID, said: "The firm involved is quite close to a truck drivers' parking area and it may be that the robbers were seen acting suspiciously beforehand or getting into one of more vehicles as they fled the scene.
"If you were in that area and saw or heard anything suspicious please don't hesitate to come forward and let us know."
Witnesses or anyone with information should call detectives at North Worcestershire CID on 101, quoting the incident reference 494-S-100114.
Alternatively, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A top end riad in Marrakech, this riad took my breath away. From the point of pick-up, to the welcoming tea ceremony and the introduction to our suite...this place just ouzes style and ambience. We stayed in the Sultan suite which contained everything you could need, plus more. We had just arrived after a 15 day tour of Morroco so these luxuries were a warm welcome. Traditional Moroccoan dinners on the roof terrace were just superb. The riad is only a short walk to the famous Djema El Fna and other sights in Marrakech. Definitely a highlight of our adventure in Morocco.
