Note: The 1048_0B is identical to the 1048_0, except that it comes pre-assembled in a plastic shell enclosure and you have the option of which length of USB cable you want to include.
Thermocouples are widely used to measure extreme temperatures impossible to measure with other types of sensors.
J, K, E and T thermocouples are directly supported in the library and return the measured temperature in °C.
It is possible to interface other thermocouple types by converting the measured potential returned by the Temperature Sensor into Celsius using the appropriate tables; the formula and links to the tables are described in the 1048 User Guide.
Very long thermocouples are okay (even 100m), but if there is measurement stability issues or USB resets, ferrite beads can be added to the thermocouple wire close to the Phidget Temperature Sensor. See our tutorial on Addressing EMI Issues.

Welcome to the 1048 user guide! In order to get started, make sure you have the following hardware on hand:
- 1048 Phidget TemperatureSensor 4-Input
- USB Cable and computer
- thermocouple
Next, you will need to connect the pieces:
- Connect the thermocouple to one of the inputs on the Phidget TemperatureSensor. The datasheet or product page for the thermocouple should tell you which wire is positive and which is negative.
- Connect the Phidget to your computer using the USB cable.
Now that you have everything together, let's start using the 1048!
Using the 1048
Phidget Control Panel
In order to demonstrate the functionality of the 1048, the Phidget Control Panel running on a Windows machine will be used.
The Phidget Control Panel is available for use on both macOS and Windows machines. If you would like to follow along, first take a look at the getting started guide for your operating system:
Linux users can follow the getting started with Linux guide and continue reading here for more information about the 1048.
First Look
After plugging the 1048 into your computer and opening the Phidget Control Panel, you will see something like this:
The Phidget Control Panel will list all connected Phidgets and associated objects, as well as the following information:
- Serial number: allows you to differentiate between similar Phidgets.
- Channel: allows you to differentiate between similar objects on a Phidget.
- Version number: corresponds to the firmware version your Phidget is running. If your Phidget is listed in red, your firmware is out of date. Update the firmware by double-clicking the entry.
The Phidget Control Panel can also be used to test your device. Double-clicking on an object will open an example.
Temperature Sensor (Thermocouple)
Double-click on the Temperature Sensor object, labelled Thermocouple Input, in order to run the example:
General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:
- Modify the change trigger and/or data interval value by dragging the sliders. For more information on these settings, see the data interval/change trigger page.
- Select your thermocouple type from the Thermocouple Type drop-down menu.
- The measured temperature will be updated next to the Temperature label. Touch the thermocouple wire with your hands to see the temperature increase. If the temperature decreases when it should be increasing, you may have the wires plugged in incorrectly.
Temperature Sensor (IC)
Double-click on the Temperature Sensor object , labelled Temperature Sensor (IC), in order to run the example:
General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:
- Modify the change trigger and/or data interval value by dragging the sliders. For more information on these settings, see the data interval/change trigger page.
- The measured temperature can be seen next to the Temperature label. Cover the board with your hands to see the temperature quickly rise.

- Modify the change trigger and/or data interval value by dragging the sliders. For more information on these settings, see the data interval/change trigger page.
Technical Details
Cold Junction Compensation and Self-heating
Thermocouples consist of two junctions, one where the thermocouple meets the Phidget and one where the two wires are welded together at the sensing end of the device. In simplified terms, a thermocouple works by detecting the temperature difference between these two junctions. As such, in order to measure the temperature at the sensing end we need to know the temperature where the thermocouple connects to the Phidget. To do so, there is an ambient temperature sensor on the board.
An important thing to note is that the ambient temperature sensor measures the temperature of the board and the air around it, though not specifically at the junction. Generally you can assume they are nearly the same temperature, however as the electronics heat up by being powered on there can be some small error introduced. This is exacerbated by having the board in an enclosed space where normal airflow is restricted thereby increasing the effect of self-heating. As a result we recommend that the board be left in as open and well ventilated/cooled a place as possible to minimize this error source.
For more information on thermocouples, check out the Thermocouple Primer.

The police reported her death that day
Her parents said she just wanted to play
But she couldn't play like a normal child in the sun anyways
So they came to me for the truthI told them that she was alone that day
It was Christmas eve and she wanted to play
She knew she could not fit in with the other children but she wanted to fit in, so she tried to find the right words to say
The police said, "Isn't it slightly odd, that her house is the only one on the street with fog, you said you usually passed her house for a morning jog, so what made you stop there today?"
Her parents asked me for a favor, so that was when I noticed her odd behavior.
I offered to watch her and when I fed her, she confessed to me that it was only blood that she could savor
I wiIl tell you what I did
I got up and I left, but I did not want to make her parents upset
So I stayed
When I woke up in the middle of the night she told me, "I watched you while you slept"
The police asked, "Did anything change, different behavior patterns after that day?"
She knocked on my door, I don't know how she found my house, but she spoke in whispers so I woke my spouse
It was so cold
She said she was hungry so my husband and I let her come in
My husband joked, "I like your fake sharp teeth, but isn't it too early for Halloween?"
She looked at us with cold gray eyes and she said, "These are my real teeth."
We were surprised
The last thing I heard her say was, "Isn't it too early for Halloween?" before I blacked out and I was covered in blood, but my husband and I were not dead
She stood over us with a sad look in her eyes and told us, "Drink blood or you will die instead."
I asked her how could this be
She told us to tell our first victims before we kill them, "Isn't it too early for Halloween?"
If we didn't she said she will follow us for the rest of our lives
"Stop making things up, we are tired of your lies!" the cop cried.
I smiled revealing sharp teeth in my mouth and I said slowly, "Isn't it too early for Halloween?"

The eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in numerous methods. The patient might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased significantly.
However, it must be well remembered that a client with an eye issue might have other issues as well. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can signal the patient and the physician to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
One's dependence on sight is emphasized when one faces a momentary or possible long-term loss of this crucial sense. Thus, when restorative steps are sought, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were developed to motivate decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the short term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected permanently.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, enabling much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people must know. Most likely, the primary reason why this kind of eye surgery has ended up being well accepted is since most of its cases had succeeded.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be really dangerous.
In other words, a easy mistake might practically cause an individual's life time blindness. It is crucial to consider many elements before choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the ideal corrective measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment might remedy your vision however it does not always indicate that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always imply they have perfect vision.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK useful reference may not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people see it
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. It ought to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can signal the doctor and the patient to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs provide themselves.
Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery over at this website is another kind of vision correction.

text: America's New Discontents by Victor Davis Hanson, Tribune News Services March 22, 2005 Sometime in the 1960s there arose a new home-grown distrust of the United States, followed by an erosion of faith in the values of the West. Perhaps the culprit was the fiasco in Vietnam or the rise of a trendy multiculturalism that followed from it. Our schools often insisted that all cultures were to be roughly the same. History devolved more into melodrama than tragedy. America was no longer exceptional and thus in no position to criticize a Cuba as undemocratic or condemn the Iranian mullahs as murderously theocratic. The enormous wealth and leisure that followed from global capitalism and democracy insulated us creating an unreality about the sources for our privilege and naiveté about why life was so bad outside our shores. Consequently, some utopian elites forgot the free-market origins of their own riches and why they had the freedom and leisure to be so censorious of their own culture. Maybe they were guilty over our bounty. One way of enjoying an upscale American lifestyle, while simultaneously feeling pretty terrible about it, is to castigate the history and global conduct of the United States in the abstract without ever giving up much in the concrete. How else could the currency speculator George Soros whose 1992 financial manipulations almost destroyed the Bank of England and thousands of its small depositors win praise from leftists for comparing President Bush's conduct to Nazism? The angry architects of Moveon.org were neither poor nor oppressed. Nor were they bothered that their Soros millions originated from the financial losses of others. But they did reflect that the most strident anti-Americanism is largely found among our unhappy upper-middle classes. for complete article http://victorhanson.com/articles/hanson032205.html

The Divine Feminine cannot rise up or be fully awakened in women unless The Divine Masculine is healed and awakened within men. The Divine Masculine and The Divine Feminine exist within each of us as archetypes. When we find balance within we begin to create balance outside of ourselves in our daily lives and in all relationships.
Society as a whole; worldwide has suppressed The Divine Masculine by encouraging and shaming men away from their true authentic feelings. Men are shamed away from expressing their feelings and taught to deny their emotions of compassion and empathy or sorrow by those emotions being labeled as weak. When men are brainwashed into believing that their more feminine emotions are weak then society as a whole labels femininity as weak. When the feminine aspects of the soul or psyche are denied and suppressed we see this manifesting into society as the repression of women by men. With the repression of the feminine psyche we have created patriarchal rule. Basically without men being able to freely express their own inner goddess like qualities we have a society that has become highly destructive, violent and brutal.
We talk a lot about feminism and the inequality towards women but until we acknowledge the repression of true masculinity, the macho and destructive, dark shadow of repressed male emotions will continue to wage war outside of it's self. Macho has become an entity that has taken on a life of it's own.. it has become the monster outside of men that is the greedy corporations and warring nations. It simply stems back to all of the emotions repressed throughout the decades in each and every individual man.
How do we heal The Masculine? The Divine Masculine, the soul of man will be healed through each man on an individual level. It will be healed by the man who is authentic and truly brave enough to express his emotions, who will not deny or bury his compassion, empathy or sorrow to make other's in denial of themselves more comfortable. The New Man .. The Divine Man .. redefines bravery as having the courage to feel and to express his feelings freely. The Divine Man will not allow other's to define him or his emotions as weak, once a man has allowed his own inner goddess to become intimate internally with his inner god he is risen into his Divinity.
The Divine Man or Divine Masculine makes room or makes away for The Divine Feminine to rise up beside him as an equal; he is not threatened by the female power and respects her voice and power rather than repressing her emotions for fear of facing his own.. Because he has no fear of the flow of the feminine energy.. he gives room for authenticity because he is authentic within himself and true to his own Divine Nature.
A women rises into her Divine Feminine by also healing her own inner god or inner masculine by allowing herself to be angry, by not denying her own sexuality or sexual energy as being just as potent and as important as male sexuality. When both sexes heal and entwine the anima and animus within the world will know balance and peace outside of the individual as micro and macro.
Both sexes have the feminine qualities of ( feeling, expression, artistic creation, abstract and flow ) and the masculine qualities of ( action, focus, logic, strategy and organization)
When men heal their Divine Masculine and start to support women on an emotional level because they are emotionally tuned into themselves.. women will begin to rise into their Divine Feminine because they will be supported and safe in doing so. Women have had to become more masculine to protect themselves from the destructive macho energy that abuses and represses them..but once they feel safe with men who have healed themselves they will start to allow men in again and be freed from their over masculinity. Many women long for this to happen, many women long for a truly emotionally intimate connection with an awakened and aware man who will protect them so they can nurture him..
Our society has become intimacy starved by the injured masculinity on our planet. For us all to find balance, love and peace we must make a conscious space for The Divine Masculine to transform in all men..so that The Divine Feminine may nurture us all once more.

Why Ancora del Chianti?
Chianti is a region widely known for its landscape, pleasant holidays in farmhouses and its famous wines. This picturesque area of Tuscany has also been a point of departure, inspiration and homecoming for many famous people who have played their part in changing the course of history.
The name Ancora del Chianti reminds us of the wonderful encounters that are possible here:
- The first citizen of New York:
Giovanni da Verrazzano (Greve in Chianti, 1485 - Brazil 1528), appointed by King Frances I of France to explore the coast of Northern America and identify a crossing to Central and South America, discovered the bay of New York and the Hudson River in 1524, arriving as far as Novia Scotia. The Verrazzano bridge was so named in his honour and a statue in Battery Park was also dedicated to him, upon the base of which is written: "To Giovanni Verrazzano, the first citizen of New York.
- The man who gave his name to a continent:
Amerigo Vespucci (Florence 1454 - Seville, Spain 1512) lived in Montefioralle and it is here where the last of his family line were laid to rest. Son of a Florentine lawyer, he moved to Seville in 1489 where he met Cristopher Columbus and assisted in the preparations for his third voyage. The importance of Amerigo Vespucci was in his written accounts and his insights, through which the people of Europe learned for the first time information on the new continent of America.
- Mona Lisa's smile:
Leonardo da Vinci (Vinci 1452 - Amboise, France 1519), famous Renaissance painter, architect, engineer and inventor. During his stay at Vignamaggio between 1503-1506, as a guest of Florentine merchant Francesco del Gioccondo, he painted the Mona Lisa "La Giocondaâ€, the only work the artist decided to take with him during his exile in France.
- A Machiavellian "Prince":
Niccolò Machiavelli (Florence 1469 - 1527), Renaissance writer and historian who, on the Medicis return to Florence, retired to his estate in Sant'Andrea in Percussina, near San Casciano Val di Pesa, where he completed his work: "The Prince".

A Leslie Stoner Story from Alicia Palaniuk on Vimeo.
Thanks to the lovely Moorea Seal I recently discovered Skillshare: an online global community centered around creativity, collaboration and learning by doing. Its such a cool resource. I was so excited I signed up for two classes right away. One of them is a three week lesson on how to create a Video Portrait. I've been really intrigued with video as of late so thought I'd just go for it and take the challenge. This is my first go.
Leslie Stoner is my aunt by blood and muse by luck, I suppose. She's a very talented and established encaustic (pigmented bees wax) painter all while raising two incredible little human beings. I may be biased but she's created a hell of a life for herself and is totally kicking butt at it. It was an honor to create this little video of her.

An Essay Upon Global Warming
Extracts from this document...
20/04/07 Tim Lees 10AM An Essay Upon Global Warming Global Warming is defined by Encyclopaedia Britannica as 'potential increase in average global atmospheric temperatures resulting from the greenhouse effect.' This is, literally speaking, incorrect; literally, Global Warming means 'an increase in average global temperature', which could be for any number of reasons e.g. the sun increasing in size (bringing it closer to the earth and thus increasing the intensity of radiation reaching earth) and/or the sun increasing in temperature (a greater amount of radiation being emitted would result in a greater amount of radiation being received). However, in my opinion as a result of media attention, when we talk of global warming, we are usually talking about the greenhouse effect. The two potential issues mentioned above will almost certainly not become important for around a billion years, yet the greenhouse effect is, according to many scientists, already taking effect. Therefore, for us to be able to talk about global warming, it is important to have an understanding of the greenhouse effect. Electro-Magnetic-Radiation (EMR) is emitted by the sun, and contains light, as well as such things as infrared radiation and ultra-violet radiation. A small fraction of this radiation arrives at the earth's atmosphere, where some of it is absorbed, but in the most part it passes through to the surface of the earth. The molecules that make up the surface reflect much of this, but also absorb some. This increases the frequency of their vibrations; they are heated up. The heat dissipates out into the air around the surface and into the surrounding earth. Some of the energy is radiated back out; largely as infrared radiation because the particles don't get hot enough to emit much light but neither are they cool enough to emit micro or radio waves. ...read more.
So, is global warming taking place? Models have been produced to simulate the effect that greenhouse gasses will have upon the mean global temperature. The models described by the UN as 'generally accurate' in 1990 predicted that by 2000, the mean surface temperature should have increased by between 1.3 and 2.3�C since the late 19th century, with a higher figure for the northern hemisphere than the southern one. The currently observed warming is considerably lower. By 1995, (yes, it actually took them the best part of five years) the UN noticed that these models weren't so accurate, "unless a lower climate sensitivity is used". Also they said that "There is growing evidence that increases in sulphate aerosols are partially counteracting [the warming due to] increases in greenhouse gases." Sulphate aerosols are emitted when fossil fuels containing sulphur are burned. They are tiny dust particles that reflect away the sun's radiation before it can be absorbed by the surface. This reduces the amount of energy that can reach the surface, and so, even though a greater portion of energy received would be retained, less energy would be received. Because sulphate aerosols are usually produced along with greenhouse gasses, although in lesser amounts, it makes sense that they at least could be, counteracting global warming. So, global warming could be caused by greenhouse gasses, but, because of the sulphate aerosols that are being produced along with them, global warming is at least being slowed, if not halted. Another factor could be forests, which in the Northern hemisphere are believed to be absorbing up to 25% of the total emitted. In some forests, tree growth is abnormally fast, yet in others, tree growth is much slower than before. ...read more.
As the O-Zone hole increases in size, so more UV rays can pass through. This energy has to go somewhere, and I'll wager that the ice sheets are absorbing a fair portion of this radiation, and heating up along with it. A quasi-flaw with this suggestion is that the Southern O-Zone hole is considerably larger than the Northern hole, and the melting is presently worse in the Arctic. However, this is less of an issue than it may at first seem due to the fact that the Antarctic is considerably colder and much of the ice will have a higher melting point due to the reduced percentage in contact with the sea. Or perhaps this is all a load of rubbish and it's just a coincidence that the ice sheets are melting. In the 17th century, we know that people went ice-skating on the Thames. It seems unlikely that there was an unusually small amount of greenhouse gasses during this period, and so perhaps the earth just naturally changes in climate. The Thames hasn't frozen over to an extent that you could go ice-skating on it at all this century, not even during 1940. It is true that the hottest summers since records began were nearly all this decade, but records only began in 1880. Bearing in mind the possible number of combinations for the alignment of the poles on a given day in a year (1,690,052,000), 120 years worth of results is hardly going to help when determining what is going to occur at a time such as the one we are potentially facing; a time of climatic change. We must also bear in mind, however, that we may not be heading toward anything other than usual. ...read more.

Wunderschönes Kleid, obenrum sehr schöner Stoff!
Leider massgeschneidert einige cm zu eng... Und ein Ärmel auch noch schepps angenäht...
Hab also Rückennaht mit Reissverschluss geöffnet und konnte so das Kleid dank dem Reststoff weiter nähen, nur blöd, dass beim obersten Stück der restliche Stoff abgeschnitten wurde. Mit viel Arbeit lässt es sich retten. Ich freue mich aber trotzdem über das Kleid.

Canada: Dear Mayor of Fredericton, New Brunswick & Vagrant Web (Bumped-Update)
The owner of Vagrant Web has replied to my post. I want to thank Carter McLaughlin for looking into this and clearing this up. Our finest and bravest certainly will thank him:
I was made aware of your blog post and the reason behind that post by tweets to my personal Twitter account, @carter_vagrant. I did not notice and did reply to any tweets to the @vagrantweb account because of the reasons I will mention below.I would also like to thank @Flippintheray for directing my tweets, and link to my post, to @carter_vagran.
I previously developed and released a social media sharing plugin for the Joomla CMS called "VagrantWeb Social Buttons". This plugin was a simple content sharing plugin released on the Joomla Extensions Directory. As part of the settings, you could enter your own Twitter account to be tagged, much like Sharethis plugins add the "via @sharethis" tag to the tweet. The default setting on the plugin was set to "via @vagrantweb".
Regrettably, this plugin appears to be used by nefarious and hateful organizations on their websites, as by design.. the plugin was available to anyone and everyone. I of course, do not condone, and in fact, condemn the use of this plugin by any hateful, illegal group.
It's highly regrettable that my companies name has been attached in any way to content being shared on Twitter that is of this horrible nature.
This plugin was deleted by myself from the Joomla Extensions Directory and is not supported in any way.
Please share this with your blog followers.
In peace,
Carter McLaughlin
Owner, Vagrant Web
Now, if Twitter would only do the right thing by suspending all of the Taliban twitter accounts THEN we wouldn't be having this problem to begin with..
I know...
************Begin original post
Taliban spokesperson, Tariq Ghazniwal ( @ghazniwaltariq), proudly uses a Canadian web hosting company, Vagrant Web.ca ( @vagrantweb) to spread the Taliban's propaganda on twitter.
It's bad enough he (and others) is even tweeting on twitter let alone using the above web host's via @ in his tweets:
My tweets to the company have resulted in zero, zilch reply so I went the round of the Mayor of Fredericton, NB ( @bardwoodside), where the web host office resides. Zero, zilch, nada except for a PM thanking me for following him.
That's like not giving a d*mn about Canadian/American soldiers killed or injured by the Taliban.
The finest and bravest in the Canadian/American military deserve better than this. The Mayor, web host AND Twitter need to get their heads out of you know where...

An essential to a great party is great party food, and whatever the occasion, there is never the need to compromise food quality for quantity. I am a big fan of serving home cooked meals, which then means that I have to slave for hours or even days getting the menu together, just so that all my guests have a great time.
Over the years, one easy fix for this problem has been to plan an interactive menu – give your guests the chance to assemble their own meals, and as long as each individual flavour is carefully sourced, you can be sure that every plate of your party food is going to be as delicious as it is unique. This also makes it so much easier to plan a party, and everybody always has a great time. Here are a few easy ideas for an interactive party menu, as well as a great tip for fixing a classic tomato sauce for a pizza base!
An outdoor barbeque Come dry weather and everybody longs to be hanging around outoors, and nothing better to match the mood than a barbeque. Have a variety of marinated meats and vegetables and allow people to assemble their own skewers! People can also get creative with potato skins, and try a spin on the kinds of fillings they would like in theirs! This is the quintessential interactive meal that has been tried and tested, which makes it an easy fix for a fun event!
Make it chaaty
Indian chaats are savoury, sweet, spicy, sour and fresh all at once. The trick is to have the perfect combination of ingredients so that you have the flavour riot your are looking for while you eat. Prepare a few kinds of chutneys – sour chutney with tamarind, sweet date chutney, spicy chilli and coriander – make sure you have crunchies on the side, some puffed rice, and chopped tomatoes, onions, chillies and boiled potatoes. All you need to do is keep enough mixing bowls available, and encourage your guests to mix their own signature batch of mouth watering chaat!
Pizzas to order
To do this, you need to have a large enough oven so you can pop in a few individual pizzas at a time. Keep the pizza bases ready, as well as really good tomato sauce base that is essentially the key ingredient to a great pizza. Keep a range of toppings and cheese, and allow each person to pick and choose their favourite combination and assemble their own pizzas! Even if they have to wait a few minutes while their pizza bakes, the anticipation only makes the food more delicious!
Wraps, burritos and tacos
Mexican flavours are also great to play with when you are planning an interactive menu. Stock up on burrito wraps or tacos, and lay out the fillings for everybody to assemble themselves. You need to make sure there is enough sour cream, beans, fresh peppers, guacamole, grated cheese and herbs like coriander, which essentially accentuates the mexican flavour. Add to that a base flavour like a capsicum rice for the burritos, and you can leave the rest to your guests!
Khow suey
This Burmese dish is normally best served over a dining table, but I have discovered it also works excellently as party food too! Keep a stock of soft and crispy noodles, a coconut gravy, and a variety of topping including burnt garlic, caramelized onions, sping onions, roasted peanuts and some chilli flakes. Your guests will be thrilled to get their own plates together, an all the credit for the great flavour still goes to you!
Recipe: Roasted Tomato Pizza Sauce
What you need:
50ml olive oil
6-10 cloves of garlic, crushed
6-8 red tomatoes, peeled
2-3 red birdy chillies, chopped fine
1/2 onion, chopped fine
a handful of fresh oregano, roughly chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Put the peeled tomatoes onto an oven tray, and bake at 200 degrees Celcius for about 30-40 minuts until the tomatoes begin to brown on the surface. Now blend the roasted tomatoes to form a puree.
Heat some oil in a skillet, cook off the onions until translucent, then add the chillies and garlic and cook for about a minute. Add the tomato puree and fresh oregano, stir gently till all the ingredients are well blended, and then simmer for 6-7 minutes till the sauce thickens. Stir in salt and pepper to taste.

Wow. You have done good background work to collect these details. Good write up in the area which is usually over looked by non tamils who visit tamilnadu.
Very beautifully written! We all go through similar emotions when our kids move out . The degree of missing them varies depending on the bond between the parents and the children. It is surely wise to cherish the new found free time by keeping oneself occupied with ones long lost hobbies and more quality time between the parents. Maybe give more time to ones aging parents who too must be missing us ! Meditation and Yoga does the magic trick too !
Very well painted Portrait of a very Significant International Artist! Congratulations!!

Review of 32532WH
It cools great, but after 2 days of being on, the first one we ordered started making a very harsh clicking noise, so we unplugged it. I tacked it up as a faulty unit, but in less than a week, the second one started making the exact same noise. I hope Smarthome will cover this and offer a different unit as an option, but 2 out of 2 broke in the first week. It's disappointing, because like I said, it cooled the room down great, and really moved a lot of air.

text: i have a bit of a problem. I guess i have to much game controlers then the game ( race-on) can reckonise. I have had no problems with: Keyboard + steeringwheel ( fanatec ) + A1 pro pedal + Sli-M But i have just bought a buttonbox, and it won't work. In windows (7, 64bit) the controller of the buttonbox workf perfect, but ingame i won't see it. If i won't put the steeringwheel ( for exemple) in, the controller of the buttons box is seen and works in game. So i guess, the limited amount of controllers is 4. Is there a smart work-around or sollution for my problem?

Welcome Back! It's been a busy month here at Texthelp with our team out visiting customers and exhibiting at shows, including BETT 2013 at its new location in ExCel London. A small team from Texthelp made the annual pilgrimage to London this year for BETT, excited to show off our dyslexia software and the new look stand!
This year on the stand we decided to take a whole new approach and went for something completely different! If you take a look below you can see the theme we went for – Reach your potential. We chose the salmon swimming upstream to represent people's struggle to reach their potential. The quote from Albert Einstein (who experts believe was dyslexic) says, "Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree…" This means that everyone is talented in their own way. If you can only judge someone by what they can't do, then you won't be able to see what the person can do.
For some of the team it was their first visit to BETT, Carolyn from our marketing team made her first trip to the annual show this year and said, "I did not know what to expect at all. The sheer size of the exhibition took me by complete surprise and the buzz and energy in the hall was brilliant. As a member of the marketing team, what I enjoyed most was seeing what the different stands had to offer and how they promoted themselves. Between being amazed by giant character mascots on some stands and seeing some seriously funky promotional items, I definitely have some great ideas for next year!"
Laura, from the education team, who had only been with us for a few weeks before she jetted off to BETT said, "I had a great experience at BETT, I especially enjoyed meeting people who had dyslexia as I gained a better insight into the difficulties they face with reading problems and the writing support they need. It was also great hearing from those who use Read&Write GOLD and getting the positive feedback on how it has improved their lives."
We also ran a competition for people who visited our stand at BETT, offering a Read&Write GOLD site licence for their school, along with sponsorship for a school team of their choice. All the entrants had to do was to tell us why their school needed Read&Write GOLD! We've just recently picked a winner from all the fabulous entries – congratulations to Laura Tarve from Eagle House School for winning her school a Read&Write GOLD site licence! We look forward to hearing how the school are using our literacy support software and sponsoring one of their sports teams or societies.
We were joined by Arran and Alan from the British Dyslexia Association for a day who gave us an insight into dyslexia, the symptoms, such as struggling with reading and writing and how our software offers great support!
Visitors to our stand at BETT got a chance to have a sneak preview of our brand new iPad App! Visitors were given a chance to have a play around with this as well as seeing Read&Write for Google Docs in action!
Our team came back filled with positivity about our products and we're already planning for next year's show with some exciting ideas up our sleeves!
Did you visit BETT this year? What did you think of the show and its new location?
See you soon!

Rumored Render of The Oppo Find 9 Surfaces
by Jul 3, 2016 5:07 am4
Oppo's line of high-end phones is the Find Series and it's been over 2 years since they released a new phone in this lineup. The announcement of the new Oppo Find 9 was expected in June this year but that clearly didn't happen.
While June has passed us and a new release date isn't yet known, what appears to be a render of the Find 9 has appeared online. You should take this leak with a pinch of salt because there is no official statement with respect to the image and there's no Oppo branding on the device. The only reason why we think it is the Find 9 is because of the skyline breathing light associated with the Find series. The phone also appears to sport dual front facing speakers and a 2.5D front panel glass. There's no fingerprint scanner upfront and no physical button, which leaves the Find 9 having its fingerprint scanner at the back.
The Find 9 is expected to feature a 5.5" QHD screen, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of ROM, a Snapdragon 821 processor, a 4100mAh battery with VOOC fast charging, a 21MP rear camera and 16MP up front.

IG visits Kapurthala jail, finds nothing amiss
IG Prisons Jagjit Singh tonight made a surprise visit to Kapurthala Modern Jail at Theh Kanjla and virtually gave a clean chit to prison authorities who were accused of according a VIP treatment to Bibi Jagir Kaur.punjab Updated: Apr 04, 2012 22:31 IST
IG Prisons Jagjit Singh tonight made a surprise visit to Kapurthala Modern Jail at Theh Kanjla and virtually gave a clean chit to prison authorities who were accused of according a VIP treatment to Bibi Jagir Kaur.
"I came here for a surprise inspection. So, I came at this time and did not inform anyone. I have found nothing objectionable here. Everything is being done as per jail manual rules," Singh, who reached the jail at 9.15pm, told media persons.
"Moreover, I will come again in the morning to inquire into the matter of providing VIP facilities like LCD TV and dish connection," he added.
Earlier on Wednesday, following uproar over alleged flouting of prison rules to facilitate VIP treatment to the former cabinet minister, jail authorities restricted entry of media persons even as other visitors kept meeting her throughout the day.
Anticipating the visit of IG Prisons to hold an inquiry into media reports on flouting of jail norms, media persons -- including those from electronic media along with their Outside Broadcasting vans -- arrived at the jail complex at 9am, only to be told that they were not to be allowed in as per the instructions of DGP (Prisons).
Soon, around three dozen supporters of Bibi Jagir Kaur led by councilor Sukhwant Singh Takhhar started raising slogans against the jail administration for allegedly not allowing people to meet the former SGPC chief.
"We have been coming here to meet our beloved leader for the last many days but the jail administration is not allowing us to meet her. They are treating her like a normal prisoner," Takhhar remarked while raising slogans.
Later, former Chandigarh MC mayor and SAD leader Harjinder Kaur came out from the prison and rued her failure to meet the former minister.
"Bibi Jagir Kaur has refused to meet me as she is very upset over fabricated media reports about VIP facilities extended to her. Bibi ji has not violated any jail rules. I was unsuccessful in meeting her," she said.
Meanwhile, local leaders and people from her constituency kept visiting the modern jail to meet Bibi Jagir Kaur throughout Wednesday, flouting jail rules.
Punjab education minister Sikandar Singh Malooka, who spent nearly 90 minutes meeting Bibi, refuted any special treatment to her.
"No special facility is being given to Bibi ji. It is a modern jail and every prisoner lodged here is provided with same facilities, category-wise. The media has created a baseless hype. I wish you people had accompanied me and noticed everything for yourself," he remarked.
Asked why entry of media persons was banned in the jail premises, he quipped smilingly, "You people know the best. Otherwise, the jail authorities and the jail minister are the competent people to answer this."
Asked where did he meet Bibi Jagir Kaur, he replied, "In a special room meant for VIP people." Interestingly, this again amounts to violation of jail manual rules which state that the interview with an inmate should be arranged in a special cell for prisoners, that too in the presence of jail officials, for a convicted person.

"If I have found favor in thy sight, oh king, give me my people for which I request."
—Book of Esther 7:23.
While it's important we recognize the modernist heresy's most terrible symptoms in order to diagnose, resist, and treat the disease, the great truth is that Our Lady of Fatima gave us the only solution so that the human element of the divine Church is cured of it.
As explained in my column series ("Secrets of the Catholic City," published in Catholic Family News, July 2016): "…the word 'request' does not properly translate the Portuguese expression 'pedido,' which conveys the command of a superior authority. Thus, when Our Lady of Fatima made her 'requests,' she was in truth giving commands to the Catholic Church, which is her right and privilege as its Queen and Mother."
Specifically: The Mother of God gave five commands to all of the Church Militant and one to the Pope and, through him, to the bishops. We lay people can turn the tide by first and always obeying those five commands to the Church Militant.
For the entire Church Militant, the Virgin's specific "requests," while simple, give us frequent opportunities to practice the virtues each of us, as individuals, need most:
1) The daily Rosary, 2) daily duty as true penance, 3) sacrifice for the conversion of sinners, 4) the Five First Saturdays devotion, and 5) the necessity of wearing, with proper blessing and intention, the Brown Scapular (the Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel), which Our Lady held out during the Miracle of the Sun.
As for the Pope (and, with him, the bishops), Our Lady of Fatima has waited almost 100 years for a reigning Pope to heed her 'requests' to establish worldwide devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by one act (with two parts):
• Papal promulgation of the Five First Saturdays of Reparation for the five major blasphemies committed against the Virgin's Immaculate Heart.
• The solemn and public collegial consecration of Russia (and Russia alone) to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Like her Old Testament figure-type, Queen Esther who was the "hidden" mediatrix of her people and who commanded them to pray and fast before she interceded with the king, Our Queen and Mother Mary makes these requests of her people even as she already intercedes for us before the throne of the Lord our God.
May we, like the elect of the Old Testament, heed the true Esther—Our Lady of Fatima—and do as she "requests."

Who is El Hablador? It is Ross Noble. No, but who is the one they call El Hablador? I just said, it's Ross Noble. You know? Long hair, does stand up where he dances about the stage, spinning out all the nonsense in his head into a show.
But what is the legend of El Hablador? I don't think it's a thing.
It is clearly Ross coming up with a name for his show, so he can make out like he is some sort of mysterious shadowy figure. Ok I get it.
Ross Noble returns to dance around the stage spinning out all the nonsense in his head into a hilarious stand up show. At some point, he may wander into a shadowy part of the stage and look a bit shadowy.
Book now to see the one they call El Hablador*
*Ross is the only one that calls himself El Hablador.

New York City's Mexican population has exploded in the past three decades, and while a large majority has found work in the food and construction industries, as an immigrant group there's been less success in the classroom. "On average, the educational attainment for someone from Mexico is the 6th grade," says Alyshia Gálvez, acting director of the new CUNY Institute for Mexican Studies, based at Lehman College. "There is a very important need, especially when you look at the second generation." An associate professor of Latin American and Puerto Rican studies at Lehman, Gálvez discusses the key objectives of the institute, including increasing college enrollment. "CUNY has its door open to them."
