18. Thai Kelp Noodle Salad with Mango and Lima Beans
Janet (The Taste Space)
"Thai-inspired, the star of this dish is the creamy coconut-based dressing infused with lemongrass, Keffir lime leaves, ginger and shallots, balanced with a touch of tamarind, fresh lime juice, toasted sesame oil and soy sauce. All of the flavours are enhanced through the reduction of the coconut milk. Here, the dressing is used to bathe a kelp noodle salad with chopped mango, cucumber, lima beans along with mint, cilantro and cashews."
Mmmmmmmm, sounds good Janet!
19. Tagliatelle Coleslaw
Dom (Belleau Kitchen)
Dom elevates the humble coleslaw, with a really garlicky with home-made olive-oil aioli. I can tell you that there is a secret ingredient, but you wll have to head over there to find out. The other secret to this recipe, is the finely peeled carrot, which gives this an appealing tagliatelle texture. Much more interesting than grated carrot. Sorry again Dom x
And now on to the winner. It was an especially tough decision this month, but we got a winner in the end. So without further ado, I would like to congratulate ....
Your winning badge is winging it's way to you as we speak.

One of the biggest lessons I had to learn when I was adjusting to a strict gluten-free diet was how to read labels. Gluten is in everything. Or at least it feels like it some days.
If I can't check the label, I'm not going to eat it. That may sound extreme, but when your health depends on the ingredients in your food, it's worth it to be a stickler.
I'm pretty savvy with predicting when gluten is going to pop up. Some brands of stock, most canned soups, lots of salad dressings, Bloody Mary mix, and soy sauce are all gluten land mines. But then there are a lot of labels with hidden sources of gluten. The ingredients list won't say "GLUTEN," but it will say malt, modified food starch or hydrolyzed protein, or even natural flavor – all potential sources of gluten.
But then I started getting burned by foods that I thought were safe. My favorite hummus changed the recipe to include soy sauce. A new mustard I bought without looking at the label ended up having wheat flour in the ingredients.
I'm serious about my gluten-free diet, but I need to be more serious about making my food from ingredients I know and trust.
Making my own food also means a difference in my wallet. It's great that more awareness of gluten-free food has led to more products available at the grocery store, but sometimes a "Gluten Free!" label means an extra 20 percent on my grocery bill. Buying things like chickpeas, vegetable stock and olive oil in bulk – or at least full-size bottles – means that I'm not paying a premium for someone else to do the work for me.
Let's compare some ingredient lists and the overall cost of the food:
Campbell's Broccoli Cheddar Bisque
$2.98 per 15-ounce serving
Chicken Stock, Broccoli, Cream (Milk), Celery, Vegetable Oil (Corn, Cottonseed, Canola, and/or Soybean), Contains Less than 2% of: Modified Cornstarch, Cheddar Cheese (Dried) (Cheddar Cheese [Milk, Cultures, Salt, Enzymes], Cream, Salt, Sodium Phosphate, Lactic Acid), Salt , Wheat Flour , Onions (Dried), Broccoli (Dried), Cheddar Cheese (Milk , Cultures, Salt , Enzymes), Maltodextrin, Parmesan Cheese (Milk, Cultures, Salt , Enzymes), Soy Protein Concentrate, Yeast Extract, Flavoring, Nonfat Milk, Butter (Dried) (Cream [Milk ], Salt), Garlic (Dried), Buttermilk (Dried), Roasted Garlic (Dried), Spice, Sunflower Lecithin, Annatto Extract for Color, Soy Lecithin.
Blendtec Broccoli-Cheddar Soup
$10 for ingredients for 8 servings/ $1.25 per serving
Broccoli florets, vegetable broth, water, kosher salt, ground black pepper, ground nutmeg, cheddar cheese.

Trader Joe's Tuscan White Bean Hummus
$5 per 16-ounce container (varies by state)
Great northern white beans, water, tahini (pureed sesame seeds), canola oil, garlic, soy sauce (water, wheat, soybean, salt), lemon juice concentrate, citrus fiber, cultured dextrose (for freshness), olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, salt, phosphoric acid and malic acids, parsley, white pepper, paprika.

Kraft Classic Caesar Dressing
$1.98 for 16-ounce bottle
Soybeans Oil, Water, Vinegar, Sugar, Cheese Romano From Cow's Milk (Milk Part Skim, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes), Eggs Yolks, Cheese Parmesan (Milk Part Skim, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes), Contains 2% or less of the following: (Salt, Vinegar Red Wine, Garlic Dried, Spices, Phosphoric Acid, Fish Anchovies, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Onions Dried, Molasses, Corn Syrup, Yeast Extract Autolyzed, Soy Flour Defatted, Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate, Caramel Color, Tamarind, Flavors Natural, Sorbic Acid, Calcium Disodium EDTA).
Blendtec Caesar Dressing
$20 for ingredients for 12 16-ounce servings / $1.66 per servings
Olive oil, water, fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, egg yolk, garlic, grated Parmesan cheese.
Get the Blendtec Caesar Dressing Recipe here
Kraft dressing is a budget friendly item, but it's not so friendly to folks trying to cut down on their processed foods. Since I already had almost all of the ingredients for the Blendtec Caesar dressing in my pantry, it was easy and inexpensive to make my own dressing. Buying all of the ingredients for the dressing might run you about $20, but you'll be able to make Caesar dressing for months with one batch of pantry ingredients plus fresh eggs and lemon. That's what you'll find as you make more and more of your food at home with the Blendtec. A stocked pantry means fewer emergency trips to the store, and the cost per meal will keep going down.
While I love the convenience of Trader Joe's, I think I'm going to love using the Blendtec Designer 725 to make my own food more.

The San Fierro Highway is a highway in San Andreas that links Los Santos with San Fierro.
The San Fierro Highway runs a similar route to State Route 1 in real life San Francisco. It starts in the Rodeo district of Los Santos, terminating at an intersection San Fierro connecting to Easter Basin, Doherty, Foster Valley and the highway servicing the Garver Bridge. It passes through the eastern and south edges of Flint County, as well as the southern edge of Whetstone.
It also has an intersection with another major road in Flint County and Los Santos, providing access to Santa Maria Beach and Flint Range, while another intersection exists servicing the town of Angel Pine. The highway has five tunnels towards San Fierro, but only four on the way back to Los Santos. Mostly, the highway is separated into two roads (one for each direction), however there are times when they meet together, although there are no cement dividers to keep traffic to its own side.
Like most other countryside highways, the San Fierro Highway lacks illumination from lampposts (except when it is in San Fierro and Angel Pine), with only small poles at some sections which reflect the car's headlights. Thus, it is far preferable to drive on the highway only during daytime, however, some players may seek fast transport, and so the San Fierro Highway may be the only option. Three highway stops can be found along the highway; one stop has a gas station and a 24/7 in it.
The San Fierro Highway starts at an intersection on the Mulholland Drive in northern Rodeo, and immediately enters a tunnel passing underneath Richman. After that it passes the Flint Intersection, however this is only a partial intersection, and thus, only eastbound traffic can use it to get to Red County. The highway then turns south, going through the eastern sections of Back O' Beyond. It follows the east of Back O' Beyond and south edge of Flint County and Whetstone, passing a 24/7, gas station and Angel Pine.
It then enters two short tunnels underneath Mount Chiliad and after the Whetstone Bridge it enters the southwest section of San Fierro. The expressway ends at an intersection servicing Missionary Hill and it becomes a major road through San Fierro. The highway turns east towards the Easter Bay International Airport and has an exit to the stadium and Doherty. It finally ends at the intersection servicing the San Fierro Bypass.The route is indirect. Instead of cutting through Flint County, making a straight line. Instead, it just makes a partial loop and runs on the coast making it the shape of a U. The highway is obviously based off US Route 1 running up the coast from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Here is a map of a shortcut route.
At around 5 miles long, it is the second longest highway in San Andreas.
The San Fierro Highway may not necessarily be the fastest and shortest route between San Fierro and Los Santos, due to its inconvenient looping shape that takes it right around the southern edges of Flint County and Whetstone. If one is near an entrance to the San Fierro Bypass in San Fierro and wishes to travel to central or eastern Los Santos, it is better to head north on the San Fierro Bypass, take a right upon reaching the Las Venturas Highway heading for the Julius Thruway, and then making a right upon reaching the Harry Gold Parkway to have access to both the western or eastern sections of the Los Santos Freeway.
The reverse route is similarly faster when traveling from central or eastern Los Santos to San Fierro, by entering the Los Santos highway and heading north. The San Fierro Highway is still a faster choice of the two routes for destinations in western Los Santos, but in this case the yellow shortcut route is even faster, even when adhering to traffic rules.
The San Fierro Highway is by far much safer than the Los Santos Freeway, however, it is not without danger. Drivers still change speeds suddenly and change lanes without notice, and this can bring a hazard to the player who is not aware of other drivers on the highway. To further complicate the highway's dangers, there are occasionally bikes and tractors using the highway, which can cause unaware players or other high-speed drivers to rear-end them, causing pileups or other problems.
When a pileup occurs, the emergency crews don't come to control the situation, and it just gets worse and worse. Drivers may come out of their cars when hit and attack other pedestrians or the player, adding to the chaos. Eventually, when one or more cars explode, a chain reaction of explosions occur and any pedestrians too close to the exploding cars will die in the process, while the player may lose a lot of health or could die. After the explosions, wrecks of cars will remain on the highway and a blaze of flames will be seen around destroyed cars, making it treacherous for any other drivers on the highway.
Additionally, parts of the route run atop high cliffs. It is easy for the unsuspecting motorist to lose control of their car, sending them over one of these cliffs. This can make for a long walk back to the road.
A programming error on the southern Angel Pine entrance ramp towards Los Santos causes oncoming traffic to spawn on the left-hand lane, as if it is a two-way road. This is due to the unconventional nature of the interchange, leading on from a two-way road rather than its corresponding exit ramp.

A hybrid electric powertrain has better fuel economy and less impact on the environment, compared to a powertrain using traditional gas or diesel. As a result, the electrification of the powertrain has become an important trend in the automotive and commercial vehicle industries. However, the technical challenges in developing a hybrid electric powertrain system are significant. Not only is a hybrid powertrain system complex, but since its many subsystems such as the power converter, motor, and battery are designed specifically for a hybrid powertrain, complex control algorithms must also be developed in parallel to the development of the mechanical and electrical hardware.
In this webinar, MathWorks engineers will show how Model-Based Design can address these complexity and parallel development needs through executable specification, design with simulation, and continuous verification.

Mikel Ruffinelli is the proud owner of the largest hips in the world. The 40 year-old mother of four's hips measure an astounding 8 feet in circumference.She credits her four pregnancies for her unusually large hips. Ruffinelli began gaining weight at age 22 after the birth of her son Andrew and her hips ballooned with her three subsequent pregnancies.
Ruffinelli tried to lose weight through milkshake and other fad diets in the past, but now she claims to be happy with her body and works hard to stay healthy. As she can't run on land, she works out through water aerobics classes.Mikel Ruffinelli: "My husband finds my shape sexy and we have an amazing time in bed – there's no position we can't do! He tells me I'm beautiful every day. Men don't like skinny girls, they like an hourglass figure."
Mikel Ruffinelli: I don't want to get bigger, but I don't want to lose my curves. I look great. I hope I inspire women to think, 'She's happy with her body and I can be too!'"

VAERS stands for the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System - it is run by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) as one method of monitoring vaccine safety. This is a fairly basic and standard practice, similar to the less formal reports of drug adverse events to the FDA after drugs are on the market.
Such voluntary reporting systems are an early warning system. Their purpose is to indicate a possible new trend that might indicate a previously unrecognized side effect or risk. Such reporting systems are also important because drugs are typically studies in thousands of individuals before going to market, but then they may be used by orders of magnitude more people, perhaps millions. Therefore there may be side effects or risks that are statistically too small to show up in studies of thousands of people, but will show up when given to millions.
Such systems are also used as part of the precautionary principle. The FDA, for example, may place a warning on a drug, or even remove it from the market, based upon a possible association with an adverse outcome, even if we can't be sure of a real association or a cause and effect.
What voluntary reporting systems are not, however, are scientifically rigorous assessments of true risk. They are useful for generating, but not testing, hypotheses.
The primary weakness of voluntary reporting systems, like VAERS, is that they are voluntary - people take it upon themselves to report what they believe may be a vaccine side effect. Such reporting is therefore subject to reporting bias. A news story warning about the risks of the flu vaccine will result in a spike in VAERS reports of flu vaccine side effects.
Any trend in VAERS reporting, therefore, has to be interpreted with caution, and in fact cannot be scientifically interpreted. A possible signal in VAERS would need to be followed up with some rigorous data - systematically looking at the incidence of the alleged side effect in a population and correlating it with vaccine status, for example.
A recent article in Mothering Magazine however, ignored all this and treated VAERS reporting as if it were scientific data. The author, Stephen Rubin PhD, analyzed recent VAERS data and interpreted the results entirely as if trends represented actual trends in side effects, rather than potentially artifactual trends in reporting. The result was an irresponsible piece of fear-mongering.
First of all, it should come as no surprise that reports of vaccine side effects correlate with getting vaccines. Why would someone think that they or their child had a vaccine side effect if they didn't recently get a vaccine? It is also easy to imagine many artifacts in the reporting. Perhaps parents (especially new parents) are more likely to worry about vaccine side effects (and report them) after their child gets their first series of vaccines, but are more mellow with later vaccines. We should also expect that ages at which other infantile or childhood diseases occur with result in spikes in VAERS reporting as they are misinterpreted as vaccine side effects.
It's important to note that VAERS accepts all reports - reports are not filtered based upon any assessment of how plausible they are or whether or not they are likely to be a real vaccine effect. Anyone can report anything and it goes into the database.
Rubin writes, for example:
"The graph shows a serious spike in Influenza-related reports during the last two years. Suddenly, there are about three times as many adverse events being reported following Flu shots. Of course, concerns about the H1N1 Flu caused more people to be vaccinated during these years, but were there really three times as many people vaccinated? The numbers do not show that."
"Something is causing an increase in the number of reactions to the Flu shot, and it isn't just that more people are getting it. We should all wonder why nearly half of recent VAERS reports involve people who have gotten a Flu shot."
Or - perhaps all the media hype about the risks of the "swine flu" vaccine resulted in an increase in self-reporting. Rubin does not even consider this possibility. He treats the data as if it were a recording of actual side effects, not voluntary reports of side effects.
VAERS remains a very important source of information for the CDC and others to monitor the vaccine program. However, it continues to be abused in a pseudoscientific way by those in the anti-vaccine community and also by those who are simply naive about the nature of VAERS and the limitations of self-reporting.

Smashing Pumpkins Share 'Oceania' Cover + Track Listing
Smashing Pumpkins will issue 'Oceania,' their seventh studio album, on June 19. It exists as part of the band's ambitious, 44-song 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' project, which is released in song-by-song format and has been since 2009. Yet 'Oceania' still stands apart as a separate piece.
The Pumpkins, especially enterprising braintrust Billy Corgan, who has been working on launching a tea house in his native Chicago as well as a wrestling promotion, have always done things their way and usually in unconventional fashion. 'Oceania'-as-part-of-'Teargarden' is evidence of that fact.
In addition to sharing the striking, blue-toned cover with Rolling Stone, the track listing has also been made available. It's 13 songs, plenty of which have artsy and intriguing titles.

Padres aim to rebound in '14; must get healthy first
SAN DIEGO -- The answer to what Padres general manager Josh Byrnes would like to see more of in 2014 is simple -- more victories.
To achieve that, Byrnes knows there's one widespread issue that must get better, an element that extends far beyond player procurement.
"I think a lot of the pieces are here but we haven't had a lot of health the last two years to see how all those pieces fit together," Byrnes said.
Looking ahead to 2014, the Padres will try to make inroads in the National League West but fielding a healthy team has eluded Byrnes and manager Bud Black.
"The first order of business is health, then adding on to what we have," Byrnes said. "... That could be a starting pitcher or adding another bullpen arm or -- it's hard to get a big bat -- but a bat to better balance our lineup."
The Padres will head into 2014 with some nice pieces to the rotation, thanks to the development this season of Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross, two power pitchers, who took big steps forward this season.
"Cash and Tyson, the way that they've thrown in the second half, is very encouraging," Black said. "... And with some guys coming back from injuries and the guys we have in the Minors, there's a lot of encouraging signs."
The Padres are hopeful for healthy seasons from outfielders Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin and a full season of All-Star shortstop Everth Cabrera and first baseman Yonder Alonso. They're also looking for a bounce-back year from third baseman Chase Headley.
How good can the Padres be in 2014?
"That's a great question," said catcher Nick Hundley. "We've got a lot to prove. We haven't proven that we can win consistently at all. We've got a lot of work to do to win the division.
"I love the group. I'm not in other clubhouses, but these are some of the more hard-working, blue collar guys in the game. We've got to expect more out of ourselves."
Arbitration-eligible: 3B Chase Headley, LHP Clayton Richard, RHP Luke Gregerson, SS Everth Cabrera, INF/OF Jesus Guzman, RHP Andrew Cashner, 1B/OF Kyle Blanks, RHP Ian Kennedy, RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Tim Stauffer.
Free agents: RHP Jason Marquis, SS Ronny Cedeno, C Rene Rivera. OF Mark Kotsay has announced he will retire.
Rotation: The rotation will look vastly different in 2014 than it did on Opening Day this season.
First of all, three members of the rotation likely won't be back as the team designated Edinson Volquez for assignment in August and will most likely non-tender Clayton Richard. Marquis had Tommy John surgery and isn't in the plans moving forward.
Now for the positives: The Padres really like what they have in Cashner and Ross, who will anchor the rotation and offer an arsenal of pitches that miss bats.
The Padres traded for Ian Kennedy on July 31 and he pitched well, particularly at Petco Park, following the trade from Arizona.
There's some interesting candidates for the other spots in the rotation. Veteran lefty Eric Stults can start or pitch in relief. Cory Luebke and Joe Wieland, who each missed the season after Tommy John surgery in 2012, could return. Both had setbacks in rehabilitation but both should be ready by Spring Training.
Look for the Padres to add a starting pitcher between now and the start of Spring Training.
Rookies Burch Smith and Robbie Erlin showed well at times in 2013. Smith took a no-hitter into the sixth inning in a September start in Atlanta, striking out 10. Erlin pitched aggressively against right-handed batters and offers very good command. Minor League prospect Matt Wisler could make a push during Spring Training.
Bullpen: The bullpen was a mixed bag in 2012. The back end -- Luke Gregerson and closer Huston Street -- were again very good in 2013, though Street had a few hiccups early in the year that he subsequently smoothed out as the season wore on.
Nick Vincent was solid again and earned the trust of Black and pitching coach Darren Balsley in terms of pitching in high-leverage situations. Tim Stauffer pitched well and could be the long man out of the bullpen again in 2014.
There are a lot of young relievers -- young in age and/or service time -- that have struggled but have also shown promise: Anthony Bass, Brad Brach, Brad Boxberger, Miles Mikolas. Some will be with the team next season, some won't. Dale Thayer scuffled in the second half. Minor League prospect Kevin Quackenbush could get a look with a strong spring.
Catcher: After a lost season in 2012 -- injuries and underperformance -- Nick Hundley bounced back to some degree in 2013, reaching double-digits in home runs while handling the pitching staff. The Padres still aren't sure what they have in Yasmani Grandal, who was suspended for the first 50 games and later suffered a nasty knee injury that could keep him out until mid-2014 or beyond.
Rene Rivera got a handful of starts in September as the team continued to look at him as a potential second catcher in 2014. He handled the staff well and earned rave reviews from several pitchers and figures to return, while Grandal heals.
First base: Yonder Alonso was off to a strong start, hitting .284 with six home runs in 190 at-bats when he broke a bone in his right hand. He missed 34 games but once he returned, the strength in the hand wasn't there. Soreness in the hand forced him out of the lineup on August 30 and he didn't return. The Padres still like Alonso's upside, his gap-to-gap approach and ability to hit a lot of doubles. There are other options to fill-in, like Kyle Blanks and Jesus Guzman.
Second base: One word: Gyorko. Rookie Jedd Gyorko quelled any concerns that he wouldn't be able to handle the jump to the big leagues in 2013 by putting together a strong season. He hit for plenty of power and provided better-than-expected defense. His statistics might have been even better had he not missed 30 games with a groin strain. Logan Forsythe and Alexi Amarista can also handle the position if need be.
Shortstop: The Padres loved the way Everth Cabrera's total game -- offense, defense and base running -- came together in the first half, as the was the Padres lone All-Star representative. But his career high came to a halt in August when he was suspended for the final 50 games of the season after violating baseball's drug policy. Veteran Ronny Cedeno was a nice fit as a replacement, defensively and his offense wasn't bad either. There's a chance he could return in 2014.
Third base: Chase Headley struggled offensively for the first five months of the season, getting off to a slow start after a fractured finger in Spring Training and never really finding that sweet stroke that allowed him to lead the NL in RBIs (115) in 2012. He was durable and again played good defense. Headley won't be a free agent until after 2014, and he's expected to listen this winter if the Padres are still interesting in locking him up to a deal. Forsythe can play third base and Gyorko -- a third baseman who moved to second base -- could always end up there if the Padres opted to trade Headley.
Left field: Carlos Quentin has had three surgeries on his right knee since he was obtained on December 31, 2011. The last came in September, and he was optimistic that this surgery and his new stance, which alleviates pressure on the knee, will be the key to keeping him on the field more in 2014. Quentin hasn't played more than 86 games in each of his first two seasons. Chris Denorfia, Guzman and Blanks have also seen time in left field.
Center field: The Padres are hoping Cameron Maybin -- limited to 14 games last season due to wrist and knee injuries -- will return to reclaim his old spot. Maybin has had a nagging wrist issue these last two seasons but had surgery on it in September that he hopes will allow him to stay on the field. The Padres would love to see him revert back to his 2011 form. Will Venable saw a lot of playing time this past season in center field in Maybin's absence and Denorfia can play there as well.
Right field: What started as a platoon between Denorfia and Venable turned into Venable being in the lineup essentially every day. He got off to a slow start and caught fire in the second half, reaching the 20-20 plateau for home runs and steals. Like Denorfia, Venable is capable of moving around the outfield. The same could be said for Blanks, who is also a fit in right field.

April 18, 2013
Dr. Akilah Dulin Keita, an assistant professor at Brown University and former postdoctoral trainee in the Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC), is among a select group of junior investigators to be awarded a $100,000 grant through the New Connections program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the leading national philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving health and health care.
Dr. Keita is a social and behavioral scientist whose research interests center on racial/ethnic and socioeconomic health inequalities, with a focus on "identifying neighborhood contexts of diet, physical activity and obesity-related comorbidities." This 24-month grant will allow Dr. Keita to "examine the risk and protective factors for childhood obesity among Southeast Asians," using mixed-method approaches to identify culturally appropriate interventions.
New Connections was designed to introduce early- to mid-career scholars—who generally comprise underrepresented ethnic or racial minorities, first-generation college graduates, or individuals from low-income communities—to RWJF, as well as to expand the diversity of perspectives that inform the foundation's programming.

You can grab some food and refreshments and begin to explore all the demos and solutions brought to you by BlackBerry partners from around the world. The Welcome Reception is one of my favorite events of the conference – the buzz in the air is so energizing and there's a sense of anticipation as everyone begins to come together. It's a great way to start things off!
Then, after the first day of sessions is over, you won't want to miss the BlackBerry World Party, held Tuesday, May 3rd from 7:00-11:00pm. This year, for the first time, we're taking the party offsite to Universal Studios Florida. As a ride junkie, I'm super excited about the chance to hit the roller coasters! If thrills aren't your thing, we're also lining up some great musical performances to entertain you while you mix and mingle over food and drink with your fellow attendees. It's going to be tough to fit everything in! Details on entertainment will be announced soon so keep checking at the BlackBerry World website.
Ready to network? Drop a line in the comments to introduce yourself and let us know if you're attending BlackBerry World!

Office of Readings for 7th day within the octave of Christmas
Morning Prayer for 7th day within the octave of Christmas
Evening Prayer 1 for Mary, Mother of God
We are starting to provide audio of our own, accessible directly from the Universalis apps. It doesn't need any Internet access and has many other good features. You can read about it here.
A few months ago we received the following letter from a member of the Rosminians:
Having noticed the recent introduction of audio options into your Divine Office I am wondering if the enclosed would be of any interest to you.
Some years ago a member of our community began to lose his sight and was unable to read the Office. As a result I undertook to record the offices of Readings, Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer. I also purchased an application to to render these recordings in 'Daisy' format so that he could use his RNIB machine to listen to them.
Some time later it occurred to me that they might be welcomed by others with impaired sight and would be a useful extension of the hundreds of hours I spent in their recording! Accordingly I wrote in the publishers, Harper Collins, and got permission to distribute a limited number of copies, on a non-commercial basis, to others registered blind. With this in view I published an advert in the Catholic Herald and produced a simple website - see http://www.advent.cd2.com.
It seems to me that, with the advent of Universalis, and its extension into audio you may be in a position to help a wider spread of people, especially those with sight difficulties.
The enclosed memory card has all the mp3 recordings that were used in the production of the seven CD's and I am hoping that you can further extend their usefulness.
Br.Robin IC
We are happy to provide day-by-day access to Brother Robin's recordings through the Universalis web site. As he says, the publishers' permission is "on a non-commercial basis" and therefore we in our turn are making the access free.
The recordings are based on the English calendar for the diocese of Westminster. If you are using some other calendar then they may therefore be out of step with what you see in the rest of Universalis. For instance, the Epiphany, the Ascension etc will be celebrated on Sunday and not on their proper days. Moreover, the recordings were made before 2015, so they do not include the feast of St Mary Magdalen, because her celebration was, at the time of recording, only a memorial and not a feast.
Nevertheless, with all these discrepancies we hope that these recordings will be useful, and we present them in that spirit.

1 stalk rhubarb, diced (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
club soda or seltzer
Place all ingredients in a 1 1/2 qt. saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature. Using a fine metal sieve, strain the mixture into an air-tight, lidded container. Discard solids*. Stir 1 tablespoon into 8 oz of sparkling water per drink. Refrigerate leftover syrup up to 1 month.
Yield: 1 cup syrup, enough for a dozen or more drinks.
Tip: use a whisk to extract off the syrup out of the pulp
*Or eat them! It is basically candied rhubarb.

Fabulous 8.8 From 1,068 reviews
very clean, comfortable, without carpet in the room, good location. everything is surprised for me.
Convenient location.
Tony at the front desk was very helpful, my airport transfer that I booked online didn't show up, he helped me contacted that company to sort things out, then proceeded to call me another transfer. All with a smile. I traveled with an infant who suddenly ran a fever and vomited 2 consecutive nights on the bed, which meant the linings had to be changed 2 consecutive nights, all around the wee -hours. Staff showed up within a very short period of time. Much appreciated.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
A couple of days ago Nvidia has introduced their new lineup of GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti GPUs, entry level for gamers and the successor of the popular GTX 750 Ti and the more recent GTX 950. We got an MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4G OC video card to give it a quick test and see what Nvidia has to offer with their new GPUs in terms of performance in some of the most popular crypto mining algorithms. While the GTX 1050 Ti may not be the most powerful solution for mining, the interesting part here is the lower power consumption per board just like it was back when GTX 750 Ti was released. So while it may not be the best choice for more serious multi-GPU mining operations, it could still be a viable option for a lower power home mining rig with 6x GTX 1050 Ti for example.
The GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti are originally intended to be used without external power and have a TDP limit of 75W (because of the PCI-E slot), though we expect that there will be some companies offering more serious models with external PCI-E power. Do note that if you plan on building 6x GTX 1050 Ti GPUs mining rig you will still need to use powered extenders in order to avoid the possibilty of damaging the motherboard as the power draw from these will be significant.
When we consider the fact that the new GPUs are based on 14nm production process (the first GPUs to go down from 16nm to 14nm for Nvidia) and apparently do have some nice headroom for overclocking. We have managed to get +195 MHz on the core and +150 MHz on the video memory with the default voltages and what was limiting us from going further was the power limiter as the card was hitting the TDP and could not boost the operating frequency that much. Still the maximum frequency of the GPU it managed to hit briefly was 1911 MHz, so with higher power limit and with better cooling such operating frequencies might be available for constant boost.
Here are the numbers, comparing the performance of GTX 750 Ti, GTX 950 and GTX 1050 Ti using the latest NiceHash Miner software to get the hashrates of various popular GPU mining algorithms at the moment. As you can see there is a really nice improvement in hashrate between GTX 750 Ti and GTX 1050 Ti, maybe with some decent overclock the new GPU could even get to double the performance in some algorithms. Nevertheless the improvement from GTX 750 Ti is good in terms of performance and while there is also decent improvement from what GTX 950 offers, it is not that significant really. The main reason for that is the fact that specifications wise the GTX 950 and GTX 1050 Ti look pretty similar, even though they are based on different architectures it is much like the older one is just a bit slowly clocked and has somewhat higher power usage. Still the GTX 950 is pretty much in between the GTX 750 Ti and GTX 1050 Ti in terms of hashrate in pretty much all algorithms apart from Cryptonight where the weird result is most likely due to the lack of optimizations.
In the end the new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is really a good improvement over the GTX 750 Ti in terms of mining performance, you could probably get the a bit higher mining performance from 4x GTX 1050 Ti as with 6x GTX 750 Ti, and the power usage will be lower. You could still build a good mining rig with decent hashrate using 6x GTX 1050 Ti GPUs and do with a 600W power supply just fine. Of course, as already mentioned it might not be the best choice for serious mining operations where GTX 1070 would perform much better in terms of performance, but for home miners it could still be a viable option… just like GTX 750 Ti did when it first came out.
– More on the technical specifications and the differences between the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti..
Nvidia is finally lowering their entry level to the new Pascal line of GPUs with the official announcement of the new GeForce GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti series of products that are supposed to bring high performance in a small and affordable package with even lower power usage. These new GPUs are essentially the long awaited successor of the popular GTX 750 and GTX 750 Ti series of graphic processors from Nvidia and they do come at a very similar price range. You can see the detailed specifications of both new series of GPUs and the expected end user pricing is set at $109 USD for the GTX 1050 and $139 USD for the GTX 1050 Ti with availability of the new GPUs expected for October 25th, so even though the announcement was today there is a one more week wait time before their availability.

There will be no reference design version of the GTX 1050 and the GTX 1050 Ti, even though Nivida is releasing some images with a GPU that apparently seems to have a reference design cooler similar to the one found in the Founders Edition versions of the higher-end Pascal models. The new GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 Ti will be available from petty much any major partner of Nvidia such as ASUS, EVGA, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Inno3D, MSI, Palit, Zotac and others in single and dual-fan designs. Interestingly enough the official specifications of both GPUs say 75W TDP and no external power connector, though we expect to see some partners actually offering OC models that do come with additional PCI-E power connector available. This is also something that you might want to be looking for if you are going to be building mining rigs with let us say 6x GTX 1050 or GX 1050 Ti GPUs. Since GTX 750 Ti was especially popular for building a lower power six GPU mining rigs when it was introduced one can expect that the GTX 1050 Ti especially might be an interesting choice for such solutions as well when it becomes available. So we are going to be keeping an eye out and hopefully will soon be able to test some of the new GPUs and report on their mining performance…

Insomnia means that you have trouble falling asleep or
staying asleep. It is a common problem. Most people will have sleep problems
now and then because of temporary stress, worry, or an irregular schedule. But
when you have trouble sleeping for weeks or months, it can lead to health
problems. Worrying about it only makes it worse.
The good news is
that if you can change the way you think about sleep, and then make some simple
lifestyle changes, you may improve how well you sleep. This topic will give
you some tips on how to do just that.
Lots of things affect
how well you sleep. For example, what, when, and how much you eat and drink can
affect your sleep. Eating a large meal close to bedtime can make it hard to
sleep, but a light snack right before bed may help you sleep. Your exercise
habits and the physical environment of your bedroom can also affect how well
you sleep. Certain habits can make it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep.
The more you know about what affects your sleep, the more likely
you are to make lifestyle changes that can lead to better sleep.
What time I eat dinner does not affect my
A heavy meal too close to bedtime can interfere
with sleep. A light snack may actually improve sleep.
Continue to Why?
The choices you
make every day often become the habits that are a regular part of your
lifestyle. Changing habits can lead to a lifestyle that promotes better sleep.
Lifestyle habits and sleep practices are strongly related
to overall sleep quality. For example:
Daily habits can affect my sleep.
What and how much you drink, whether or not you
get regular exercise, and many other choices you make can affect your sleep
Continue to How?
Here are some tips that
may help you sleep more soundly and wake up feeling more refreshed. You might
want to start slowly at first. Pick one thing to change, and see how that
change affects your sleep. After a week or two, try to add another change. As
you make changes, you might want to keep a
sleep diary(What is a PDF document?) to figure out what things help you to sleep better and what things
may get in the way of a good night's sleep. Step by step, your sleep should
improve. If it doesn't, talk to your doctor.
Napping during the day will help me practice falling
asleep so that I can do it better at night.
Napping during the day, while not unhealthy,
may make you less tired at bedtime. If you are tired at bedtime, you may sleep
When I am tossing and turning, unable to sleep, I
should stay in bed until I fall asleep.
If you are tossing and turning, you should not
stay in bed until you fall asleep. Use the bed as a place for sleep, not
sleeplessness. If you aren't asleep within 15 or 20 minutes, go to another room
and do a quiet activity like reading until you feel sleepy.
Continue to Where?
Now that you have read this
information, you are ready to take some steps toward improving your sleep. You
may have to try a few different lifestyle changes until you find what works
best for you. If these changes don't help you sleep better after you have tried
them for 2 weeks, talk to your doctor.
If you would like more information on sleep problems, the
following resources are available:
The National Sleep Foundation, an independent nonprofit
organization, can provide you with brochures on sleep disorders and a list of
accredited sleep disorder clinics.
