The optional hood also reverses - and you can put a spring cap on it I like reversible hoods - takes up much less space.

*** The Rosary Is Not Optional
by Father Patrick Perez
IN true apparitions, Our Lady, or whoever is sent from Heaven, does not waste words and does not use them idly.
At Fatima, in the most relevant and urgent apparition of our times, Our Lady introduced Herself to the three shepherd children and She said "I am the Lady of the Rosary." It was not for nothing that She chose these words. Why choose this title now? Of Our Lady's one hundred and seventeen titles that She has had through the history of the Church, why introduce Herself now, in our modern age, as the Lady of the Rosary?
Simply put, each one of us, our families, our cities, states, our countries, our Church and in fact our whole world needs the Rosary now more than at any point in history. The Rosary is not just a devotion that we may take or leave. We have this from the words of the Mother of God Herself. To quote Sister Lucy (who wrote) "people must recite the Rosary every day."
Our Lady repeated this in all the apparitions. In all the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 She said many things. But above all, She said "every person must recite the Rosary every day."
Now there are those who would disagree, but I happen to believe that when the Mother of God appears to you and tells you to do something, you really should do it; whether that be to pray the Rosary or consecrate Russia to Her Immaculate Heart.
We Must Pray the Rosary Every Day
When the Mother of God gives us a command that comes from the Throne of God in Heaven, we are not at liberty to reject it. It becomes essential at that point. And Our Lady clearly indicated that we must pray the Rosary every day. This is a command. This is not peripheral. This is not something we can take or leave.
We do not have just a casual need either. It's not that, well we can make it, but if we say the Rosary we'll get a little more grace and this will help with something. No. We don't just have a casual need of Our Lady's Rosary, but an urgent, desperate need. She appeared to tell us just that. And to give us, Her children, hope in these last times.
This title reminds us as well that the Fifteen Promises She made for those who pray the Rosary are still in effect. And for those of you who don't know, I can tell you what they are. (One of Father Gruner's pamphlets reprints the Fifteen Promises that Our Lady made for those who will pray the Rosary. Call toll-free: 1-800-845-3047) And when you read these you realize you are in need of every one of these graces and could not do without them.
15 Promises for Praying the Most Holy Rosary
1) Whoever shall faithfully serve Me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.
2) I promise My special protection and the greatest graces to all who shall recite the Rosary.
3) The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies. (Actually, were that the only promise, we should pray it for that reason. Because what have we in our world today? We are surrounded by, wherever we are in the world, vice, sin and heresy.)
4) It will cause virtue and good works to flourish. It will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God. It will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5) The soul which recommends itself to Me by the recitation of the Rosary shall not perish.
6) Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death. If he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.
7) Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.
Those who are faithful in reciting the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces. At the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise.
9) I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.
10) The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.
11) You shall obtain all you ask of Me by the recitation of the Rosary.
12) All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by Me in their necessities.
13) I have obtained from My Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.
14) All who recite the Rosary are My sons, and brothers of My only Son, Jesus Christ.
15) Devotion to My Rosary is a great sign of predestination.

OPTIONAL LUNCH: WORKPLACE WELLNESS INNOVATION
Hosted by Cigna
Americans spend more than half of their waking hours at work—often seat-strapped, deskbound, or flat on their feet for much of that time. Gym breaks are a luxury for a few; eating on the run, a reality for many. Such stasis, say experts—and, well, everyone else, too—isn’t exactly a recipe for human fitness, sharp minds, or bristling productivity. Enter workplace wellness programs—a fix that would seem, on first glance, to be too obvious to ignore. A majority of companies, indeed, now offer some sort of wellness benefits—spending as much as $8 billion on everything from flu shots and health screenings to gym memberships, personal health coaching and weight loss programs. But here’s a dumb question: Is this money being well spent? In this candid conversation, we’ll probe whether today’s wellness programs really are bringing wellness to employees, how they’re impacting productivity and the bottom line, and how to measure their success and keep employees engaged beyond week one.

March 1-30, 2014; 11:57pm - midnight every night. Zach Nader’s optional features shown is comprised of short segments of car commercials in which the text and representations of cars and people have been digitally removed. Nader deliberately misuses a software tool meant to aid in the removal of minor imperfections, and the resulting visuals reflect upon the scripted nature of image creation and editing. The all context/no content of the video points to the reliable nature of product choice and advertisement.
“I am interested in what is left after the impetus for creating the initial product is removed from the videos. What value remains?” said artist Zach Nader.
March’s Midnight Moment is a presentation of the Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC) and Times Square Arts, in partnership with Moving Image Art Fair - a video, film, and new media art fair that will take place March 6-9, 2014, at the Waterfront Tunnel event space in Chelsea.

Problem is they both start and end at the same points and I don't think the no steps version is wheelchair friendly, unless and they probably do now, have 4x4 off road versions.

This was in/around a forest near my house.
Main (optional) - Oven baked Atlantic Royal sea bream served with "ratatouille" and tomato coulis
As i am typing this... I am trying to recall the taste of this dish... I am not too big a fan of fish, at least not if they are battered, deep fried in forms of sticks.. but this is delicious! together with the tomato coulis ( i don't think there is ratatouille part in it... at least from what i see of the cartoon.. there isn't any thing of that sort in this dish), it was a wonderful combination...
I won't advise anyone to take the skin by itself.. I got a shock when I took my dining partner's... it was so salty!! No thanks to my other dining partner, who choose to tell me that the chef might have sprinkled salt on it before baking or steaming.. (we also can't decide if it was baked or steamed).
All in all, we were in total agreement that the mains (both the beef cheek and Sea bream) were done perfectly. congrats to the chef (I think it's Patrick Heuberger from au Petit Salut) !
