For a mouth-watering, three-napkin, easy feast for a crowd, look no further than Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches. I have made this several times in the fall and winter, for just our family as well as larger family gatherings. It's a fix-it-and-forget-it kind of meal, with just a couple of simple steps after the Italian Beef has cooked, to make it sandwich-ready.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Randoms for March 30
26 random acts
Arriving home after Christmas spent in B.C. with family, I sorted through my mail, and discovered a note that states I'm number three out of 26 random acts of kindness from someone not named who is honouring the lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It was a gift certificate for a gold service at the Chamois Car Wash.
What a big surprise, and what a wonderful thing to do.
It is extra special to me, since my hubby passed away last year, leaving me to deal with whatever needs to be taken care of.
Thank you, thank you to this generous thoughtful person who cared enough to do this for me.
God bless you.
-- Patricia Medgyes
Sweeter than chocolate
My daughter is currently a full-time student working part-time to save for her education.
Several months ago she was working at a part-time job in a local mall. She assisted a customer with his purchase and at the end of the transaction he asked her if she was in school. She replied, "Yes."
As she handed him his purchase, he handed her a white envelope and stated, "Here is a little something for your education. Hold it dear to your heart; there is a lot of money in there." He then promptly left.
As astonished as she was, she had no time to react because there were other customers to attend to. She placed the envelope under the counter.
Once the store cleared out, her colleagues opened the envelope and discovered $500.
For several months, she has been unsure how to accept such a large gift from a complete stranger. She is a member of her school's Youth in Philanthropy group and holds dear the value of helping those in need. She pondered over the money, trying to understand why she was so fortunate to have this unexpected gift suddenly come to her. The first thing she thought about was how there are other people out there who could also benefit from such a kind gesture.
She has finally decided to use the money as it was originally intended by the kind stranger. Half the amount will go into her education.
As for the other half, she decided to pay it forward and donate it as an award for graduating students at two local high schools. It will be used to recognize two students who demonstrate leadership and outstanding qualities that motivate the actions young philanthropists take to make this a better world.
My daughter wants to formally thank this gentleman for his kind gesture and recognize that his actions made a difference.
Thank you.
-- R. Acquisto
Thanks to helpful stranger
My mother has Alzheimer's. It is still in the early stages, so wandering off and getting lost had never happened before.
Recently, she went for a walk up Westwood Drive and became disoriented and panicked. She did not recognize her surroundings and became extremely upset.
She knocked on a door of a nearby house and explained her situation. Luckily, she still remembers her address and the man that lived there drove her home.
As she currently remembers very little of her daily events the fact that she was able to piece together the details of her "adventure" shows how traumatic it was.
She wanted to thank the person who helped her, but is unable to remember where the house is, so I thought I would post a thank you here.
Thank you for your kindness, patience and for your help.
-- Shelley Mollot
Bless you, Natasha
I want to thank Natasha, the kind stranger who took the time to return my cellphone to me after I lost it on Wellington Crescent.
It is so reassuring to know there are still people in the world who go out of their way to help others.
Natasha wouldn't even take a reward for her kindness and I am so grateful to have the phone back. What a wonderful thing to do.
God bless.
-- Lori Hildebrand
A boy with a dream
I want to say thank you to a 12-year-old boy with a dream of helping others less fortunate.
Together with his family and the help of volunteers, they make lunches and bring winter clothing to Winnipeg homeless shelters.
This boy has reminded me of the importance of giving and helping those in need. Because of him, my children and I now give up something each month, such as ordering pizza, and use that money to bring them items they need to make the lunches.
I love that we are able to help out and though it may not seem like much, it adds up.
I encourage all of your readers to help this boy's dream continue to flourish and like his Facebook page: Lunches With Love.
They do not want financial donations because they encourage people to get out and do something. Donate a food item towards the lunches they make, join them and lend a helping hand on lunch-making day, help a neighbour out, hold a door open for someone, volunteer at a soup kitchen. Just get out there and help someone in need.
This boy rocks and he is the future. Thank you for making it brighter.
-- Natasha Keith
Thanks for wallet returned
I want to say a huge thank you to a very kind and wonderful person who came to my home to give me my wallet that I lost in the Superstore parking lot on McPhillips Street.
I don't have her name, but I wish to express my sincere gratitude.
-- B. Sing
Saved by inches
Every once in a while, you hear about God's angels here on Earth. To actually experience their grace is truly a miracle.
I lost control of my car on the icy road, on Highway 59, just north of South Beach Casino while on my way home from Pine Falls. I was not driving fast, but the car spun around, flew into the ditch and landed upside down.
I know my car was filled with God's heavenly angels as I was not hurt and very calm -- and also because my car came to a stop only inches from iced-over water that would have been over my head.
The man who towed my car, Terry from Selkirk, informed me that when he went in front of my car to hook it up, he broke through the ice and couldn't touch bottom.
I also know that I was surrounded by earthly angels as they came to my aid in the ditch. They called to me to let me know they were there, opened the door and got me out to safety.
They offered me the warmth of their hearts as well as the warmth of their car.
Once we realized that I was indeed OK, another angel drove me all the way to my home in Selkirk.
I did ask their names, but in my time of shock, sadly, I forgot them, except for Lauren, who drove me home.
I told them to read the Random Acts of Kindness column in the paper as I would be telling my story.
My family and I want to send the most sincere thank you to you all.
I pray that you all had a safe trip home that night. Thank you again, from my heart.
-- Lynda Miller
Went the extra mile
My husband and I finally went on a long-delayed trip to Cuba. We travelled to Winnipeg from out of town, stayed overnight at a hotel near the airport and loaded up our truck around 2:30 a.m. to head to our flight.
Either our truck tailgate was not closed or wasn't closed all the way because during the drive, my suitcase fell out, something we only noticed after parking at the airport.
My husband immediately went back out and drove our route but did not find it.
I ended up in Cuba in my Canadian winter clothes and with nothing else, but was helped out by the lovely ladies in a little gift shop where we were staying, so I managed and we had a great holiday.
The only downside was that I was thinking that somehow I was going to have to replace the majority of my summer wardrobe, something I hadn't counted on.
During our layover in Toronto when returning, I called my son in Winnipeg, and he told me that the airport had my luggage. Someone had found it, turned it in to lost and found there, and I would be able to get it when we returned. Amazing! I felt like I had won the lottery.
Unfortunately, whoever turned it in did not leave his/her name and I really want to thank them. They went the extra mile for me and it is so appreciated.
-- Dee Carlson
Thank you, Bob
We had been excitedly awaiting our container of coffee. Our plan was for the truck driver to spot the container in front of our garage, and we would simple unload it directly into the garage.
My heart sank Friday night when the driver told me he couldn't back the container into our yard. How are we going to get all that coffee from the road into our garage, I wondered as I tried to sleep that night.
Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I had to pick up our crew hired for the day. So I left the house at 8 a.m. in search of a pickup truck to borrow.
I ended up driving through the Selkirk GMC dealer's lot. They have lots of trucks I thought. Maybe I could borrow a used one for the day.
I walked in and explained our situation to a salesman there. It was still early, and he said I'd have to wait and talk to the sales manager when he gets in. I chatted a little more with Bob and he suddenly said to me, "Hey ,just take my truck," as simple as that, no questions, no asking for compensation, "Just have it back by 5 p.m."
Bob Krychuk, who I had never met before, lifted a huge weight of stress off my shoulders with his generous act of kindness to a stranger.
Thank you, Bob.
-- Derryl Reid
People, especially this one, are wonderful
My trip to Superstore turned out to be a reaffirmation of the good in humanity.
At the cashier where my total bill was just under $200, I realized I had left my debit card in another coat pocket. The store does not take cheques nor the one credit card I had with me.
A kind-hearted woman behind me offered to put my total bill on her credit card and said, "You can write me a cheque."
In my stunned and embarrassed state, I wrote her a cheque, thanked her and scurried to the car with tears in my eyes.
Wow, people are wonderful. Thank you.
-- Linda Goodbrandson
Nice note left
I parked my car in the lot on Hargrave Street and Graham Avenue and hurried off to my early morning meeting.
Upon return to my car in the late afternoon, there was a note tucked under my windshield wiper. The note stated that my trunk was wide open and they had closed it and hoped nothing was missing.
Nothing was missing ... and the trunk was full as I was heading out of town for the weekend.
There was no name on the note. Thank you to the wonderful person who took time not only to close my trunk but also leave a note so I was aware it had been open.
-- Mary Johnson
Thanks for "watching over" my purse
I would like to thank the two ladies who "watched over" my purse, which I accidently left on a chair at The Forks.
I was busy with my granddaughters, and just as we were just leaving in our car, I realized I had left my purse behind.
My husband ran out to find it, and lo and behold it was still there. Two ladies were waiting to see if we were coming back and had just decided to take it to the lost and found.
Thanks a million for your honesty. I really, really appreciate it, and I hope some kindness happens to you, too.
-- Linda Mozol
Annoyance turns to happiness
I was rushing to get to a meeting downtown on a sunny afternoon when a short girl in a hoodie and jeans tapped me on the shoulder. At first I was annoyed that I was being stopped on my way to the meeting, but as I turned around I saw that the girl held out a pack of my Sheriff cigarettes.
I just want to say thank you to the girl for running to give me back my cigarettes -- I was really motoring! -- and for not keeping them for herself. Even though they are $1 per pack duty free cigarettes, it surprised and gladdened me. Thank you.
-- Owen Toews

DETROIT LAKES -- In an ongoing effort to reduce the number of repeat offenders among residents of the Becker County Jail, the County Sheriff's Department has entered into an agreement with Lakes Learning of Detroit Lakes to offer adult basic education and GED opportunities for adult inmates. The agreement was approved Tuesday by the Becker County Board of Commissioners. During a break in the board's morning session, Sheriff Tim Gordon said this program was just one more aspect of "trying to reduce recidivism from every angle possible -- education, treatment, housing, mental health counseli
John Hutchinson's new band, Vincent & the VanGoes, is so new that when he invited two of his guitar students to be a part of the band's debut performance on Feb.
DETROIT LAKES -- Though Becker County Community Health has only been in existence since Jan. 1, 2005 (when it took over the county's public health programming from Multi-County Nursing Service), it's already outgrowing its home on the first floor of the County Human Services Building. Yet if you ask people on the street what it's all about, chances are they won't have a clue. "We're one of the best kept secrets in town," said Community Health Supervisor Ronda Stock. But that's really the way it should be, she added.

Illinois Senator Barack Obama grabbed the majority of presidential straw-poll voting in Democratic caucuses throughout the state of Minnesota Tuesday -- and Becker County was no exception. Obama received 262 votes in the Becker County straw poll, to 172 votes for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. No other candidate's vote total went beyond single digits; there were also six votes listed as "uncommitted." Television networks began projecting Obama the Minnesota winner at 9:20 p.m.
PONSFORD - In 1947, Ray Vlasak's family decided to take their first vacation at Veronen's Resort on Bad Medicine Lake. A little less than 20 years later, in 1964, his parents bought a cabin on Bad Medicine, and nine years after that, purchased the property down the road from Veronen's that would become High Pines Resort. "It's a small resort -- there are just three cabins -- and we only rent on a long-term basis," Vlasak noted.
Detroit Lakes -- Al Franken, the comedian-turned-U.S. Senate candidate, thinks the current state of health care in Minnesota -- and the United States as a whole -- is anything but funny. "Every other industrialized country in the world has universal health care -- we're the only industrialized country that doesn't -- and I think it's no coincidence that we spend twice as much per person as any other industrialized country on health care," Franken said during a visit to the Detroit Lakes Newspapers offices on Friday.
DETROIT LAKES - Polar Fest: As the name implies, it's a celebration of all things winter -- an opportunity to experience all that Detroit Lakes has to offer when the temperature drops below freezing. "Detroit Lakes is so well known for its summertime fun," says Kesley Myhre, one of the 2008 festival's many organizers. "But we have so much to offer in winter as well -- cross country skiing and snowmobile trails, ice skating at Lincoln rink (outdoors) and Freeman Arena (indoors), sledding on the hill behind the Boys & Girls Club...
DETROIT LAKES -- Every year, when New Year's Day comes around, people start making resolutions to start fresh, get healthy, get fit, eat better, and ultimately, to lose weight. And yet, obesity rates continue to soar, as that January zeal to get in shape gives way to old, ingrained habits.
LP-A Teacher of the Year reaches toward the 'STARs' -- Hogie helps her FACS, FCCLA students shine academically and competitively
Lake Park-Audubon High School teacher Cheryl Hogie loves what she does for a living, and it shows. "I always wanted to be a teacher," she says. Ever since her two great aunts, also teachers, started giving her their discarded books and classroom materials when she was a young girl, Hogie has been teaching anyone who would listen -- including dolls, pets and family members. "One summer, I taught Vacation Bible School in a one-room schoolhouse for children ages 3-12," she said.

April 1st, 2012 - Toonami and TOM came back… just for one night, it was just like the old days… late 1990's, early 2000's… For just one night, we relived our childhoods. It was- wonderful. But alas, it was for one night. To experience the happiness, the joy that Tom brought us those many years ago.
I miss Toonami.

Looks good- you are going to have yourself a heavy beer. I don't know what your primary set-up looks like but you should think about making a starter and using a blowoff so your airlock doesn't get clogged and blow through the roof.
I don't know what your plans are but I see that you have the amylase enzyme in your primary for three days. I would also recommend letting your beer sit a little longer than 3 days in your primary. You want to let as much fermentation happen as possible before you jostle it to your secondary. I would go as far to say 7-14 days would be fine in your primary before you racked to secondary. With high gravity beers time is on your side.
Why did you add the 2lbs of corn sugar to the recipe?
You probably won't need that much corn sugar, unless you REALLY want to put it through the roof, it will dry the beer out some which is good, but you already have 11 lbs of extract and another 6.75 lbs of grain. I would hesitate before adding more fermentables because it will already be plenty strong.
I am brewing a similar style beer that can be seen here:
Good luck with your brew!
I've only done one extract brew so my impute should be suspect, but I've done a lot of rye Ipa all grain.
I would add some mato dextrin, I think that recipe is going to be thin bodied.
Also I would do something like one pound of Crystal 30-50 insted of the crystal 10, you want the rye and hops to shine through. One more thing, your doing a high gravity Ipa. It's going to take some time for that to age,(not have a sharp bit). As an IPA ages it losses some of its bitterness and flavor. I would double the nugget and triple the Hallertaue at a 3 minuet schedule.
What ever you do rye IPA is good stuff.
Oh it was my first time using beersmith so I am not great with it yet, I plan on keeping it in the primary at least 10 days and the secondary for 10-14. Im using a 6.5 gallon ale pale as my fermenter with a standard airlock. Do you think it would be better to use my 5 gallon pete carboy with a blow off? I really wanted this to be around 10% abv without it it would be 8.4
Buba, 10% is getting into no mans land with a rye IPA. A 10% beer is going to take time to age, an IPA losses bitterness as it ages.
You need to step back and rethink this one because your about to make rocket fuel. 10% beer is not something a new guy should invest in, done it, did it, want a bottle?
7% high hops, high rye mmmmm good.
you should back WAY down on the crystal 21% is ridic high esp for an IIPA, plus most extract has some crystal malt in it as well
rye should be mashed, it will convert itself so just do an extended steep ~ 150-155° for 45-60min.
you shouldn't need amylase at all - it should be a last resort for a stuck fermentation; Pacman should have no problem getting your FG down
you should move the 30min additions later in the boil, you need way more late additions (20min or less) and some flameout additions would be ideal as well
your hop schedule seems a little odd as far as choices, you use citrusy american hops for flavor and some hallertauer but then dry hop with delicate flavored noble hops
there's nothing wrong with adding some dextrose to help keep the body light on an IIPA - 2lbs may be a little overkill if you cut back some of the crystal
I think Maltodextrin is out of place for this style as well IMHO
ok so this recipe obviously needs some tweeking, thanks for all your input. Gonna be cutting out the amylase. cutting back the crystal. Does one pound of corn syrup sound more reasonable? I'll do the extended steep, should i steep the crystal with the rye or separately? Anyone have a suggestion on the type of yeast to use? I havn't done a starter yet but I am planning to with this brew or maybe using wyeast, and i'll be messing around with the hops/ hop schedule later but I don't have time to at the moment.
you can steep/mash them together
1lb dextrose should be good
you may also want to consider upping the % of Rye if you want more noticeable impact, 20% is a pretty common amount
i think pacman is a good call for the yeast - you def want to have a large starter for whatever yeast you use unless you decide to go with dry yeast
I like to check out the recipe database to help with recipe formulation: India Pale Ale
take a look at some of the other IIPAs and get an idea of what their hopping schedules are

The Simplest Step Ethiopians Can Take to Protect Themselves From Excessive Gov't Surveillance
BY Jessica McKenzie | Friday, June 20 2014
The Ethiopian government has at their disposal a formidable collection of surveillance technologies, and can intrusively monitor writers and activists at home and abroad. In late April the government arrested six independent bloggers and a journalist. More than 50 days later they are still being held in custody, and yet no formal charges have been filed. In March Human Rights Watch published a lengthy and detailed report warning that surveillance in Ethiopia could get even worse if the government gains the human capacity necessary to fully leverage the available technologies.Read More

This year: verbally blasting Google and other American technology companies through state media outlets, LinkedIn's capitulation to censorship demands, even outside mainland China, and more than 64 Tiananmen-related words blocked from online searches today, including the word "today."Read More

Business activity in the United Arab Emirates' non-oil private sector edged up slightly in July from the previous month, but the growth of export orders fell sharply, a purchasing managers' survey showed on Sunday.
August 5, 2012 10:01 by Reuters
The HSBC UAE Purchasing Managers' Index, which measures the performance of the manufacturing and services sectors, rose to 53.4 points last month from 53.2 in June. The adjusted index remains above the 50-point mark which separates growth from contraction, the survey of 400 private sector firms showed.
"Although the sharp drop in export orders is troubling, overall the data suggests the non-oil economy is showing some resilience," said Simon Williams, chief economist for the Middle East and North Africa at HSBC.
"The headline score is still firmly in expansionary territory, and the positive output, new order and employment readings are particularly encouraging given the troubled global economy and the onset of the Gulf summer."
UAE firms saw output growth slow again to 53.7 points in July, the weakest level since March, from 54.6 in June. New orders remained steady at 58.4 points.
Growth in new export orders fell steeply to 50.6 points, the slowest rate since June 2010, from 54.5 in the previous month, with firms saying sales were increasingly difficult to secure.
Employment growth across the UAE's non-oil private sector rose again in July, reaching the highest rate since April 2011, the survey also showed.
Output price growth climbed back above the 50 mark in July, while growth in input prices slowed to 53.8 points, the weakest input inflation for a year and a half.
Consumer price inflation in the UAE, the world's No. 3 oil exporter, eased to 0.4 percent on an annual basis in June, according to government data.
In June, Minister of Economy Sultan bin Saeed al-Mansouri cut his forecast for the country's gross domestic product growth this year. He predicted expansion of around 3 percent, down from 4.2 percent in 2011, because of global weakness.

No more cleaning! The world's only automatic home micro brewery - the 40 pints BRUMAS® microbrewery has it all: gleaming copper, shining stainless steel and microprocessor technology. The automated traditional beer brewing process and the original ingredients of finest malt, hops and yeast make an excellent beer, which will impress you. The Brumas brewing process use real fresh malt to make the best possible beer and does not use malt extract as used by cheap micro brewery equipment.
Automatic brewing!? I'd really miss standing out in the garage waiting for the pot to boil (over).Brew Magic by SABCO is still my favorite, although that DME system would fit in the pole barn.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

E-book Popularity Drives Electronic Paper Display (EPD) Shipments to 417% Y/Y Growth
Seeing this growth for a new application, especially in the second half of last year, is a vote of confidence from consumers who seem to have embraced e-books, said Hiroshi Hayase, DisplaySearch Director of Small/Medium Displays. Momentum from e-book popularity last year combined with new, larger-screen products hitting the market right now means that this trend will continue, so we will see large shipment volume increases in the first half of 2010.
Figure 1: EPD Shipment for E-Books
Source: Quarterly Small/Medium Shipment and Forecast Report
Amazons Kindle e-book, with a 6 display, captured 66% of the total EPD market in 2009. This market domination is expected to increase as the Kindle DX, with a 9.7 display, is positioned to compete with Apples iPad, released earlier this month, which uses a 9.7 TFT LCD.
Boosted by success from e-books thus far, Amazon is expanding its service offering to help customers access more timely books at low cost. We expect to see other service providers increase their presence in the US and expand e-book adoption in Europe and Asia as well, Hayase added.
Figure 2: EPD for E-Book Market Share by Size
Source: Quarterly Small/Medium Shipment and Forecast Report
The DisplaySearch Quarterly Small/Medium Shipment and Forecast Report tracks shipments of all flat panel display technologies such as TFT LCD, PM LCD, AM, PM OLED and EPD for all applications using FPDs up to 9.0. EPD reporting will also include displays for e-books over 9, including market share of e-books by size and resolution. The report also provides comparisons between applications, suppliers, size, resolution and pricing for FPD technologies using panels that are 9.0 or smaller. This report is delivered in PowerPoint and includes Excel pivot tables. If you need further information or assistance please contact Charles Camaroto at 1.888.436.7673 or 1.516.625.2452, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or contact your regional DisplaySearch office in China, Japan, Korea or Taiwan.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)Franz Kafka's imagination so far outstripped the forms and conventions of the literary tradition he inherited that he was forced to turn that tradition inside out in order to tell his splendid, mysterious tales. Scrupulously naturalistic on the surface, uncanny in their depths, these stories represent the achieved art of a modern master who had the gift of making our problematic spiritual life palpable and real.This edition of his stories includes all his available shorter fiction in a collection edited, arranged, and introduced by Gabriel Josipovici in ways that bring out the writer's extraordinary range and intensity of vision.Translated by Willa and Edwin Muir
"Because he gives us food we need, Kafka himself will not be forgotten as long as there are books to read and human beings to read them. He lives for us in his fragmentary and living [stories] more than he ever lived for himself in the bosom of his family, the Kafkas, and his city, Prague." –from the Introduction by Gabriel Josipovici

June 11, 2013 – (BRONX, NY) – Today, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University convened a one-day conference on Jewish genetics designed to encourage collaboration and advance the field of research. Such research could help scientists identify causes and potential treatments for population-specific diseases as well as more common disorders afflicting the general population.
Harry Ostrer, M.D., Gil Atzmon, Ph.D. The genetic makeup of Ashkenazi Jews is relatively homogenous, which makes it easier to identify gene variations that cause disease. By bringing together scientists who investigate Jewish genetics with those at disease-specific research centers, the conference organizers hope to encourage new, productive research partnerships that could uncover the causes of debilitating conditions.
Twenty researchers from ten institutions are participating. From diabetes and arthritis to intellectual disabilities and Alzheimer's disease, a range of disorders are represented. Scientists studying Jewish genetics as well as those working with Latino/Hispanic, Amish and other racial and ethnic groups will also attend.
"We would like to see new research centers or other large-scale, multi-investigator studies established that can mine Jewish genomic data for clues to disease," said Harry Ostrer, M.D., one of the conference organizers and professor of pathology, of genetics, and of pediatrics at Einstein and director of genetic and genomic testing at Montefiore Medical Center, the University Hospital for Einstein.
"We would like to see new research centers or other large-scale, multi-investigator studies established that can mine Jewish genomic data for clues to disease."-- Harry Ostrer, M.D.
"Several fruitful collaborations have already occurred in the field – including the Jewish HapMap Project and The Ashkenazi Genome Consortium – and we would like to expand that," noted Gil Atzmon, Ph.D., associate professor of medicine at Einstein.
