Lately I have been wrestling with something that I think I have been struggling with my entire life without even realizing it. I first began to realize my struggle when the words "Each day is a gift from God" came as a shock to me. And then the fact that they came as a shock to me was even more of a shock, and a disconcerting one. The truth is for a while now I have not been living as if I believed that each day was a gift from God. I have been living as if each day was another 24 hours to wade through, bringing me one day closer to heaven. I can relate to Jesus saying "each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6:34). I have been living with my guards up ready to take shelter from "what else" each new day will bring. Once I am able to process each individual "what else" I come around to see them as blessings, opportunities for growth, gifts from God. I really do. I can now say with certainty that Romans 8:28 is true. God DOES "work all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose". I can also say that the troubles that each day brings are often part of that good. I really can and do see the "what elses" as good gifts from God, even when they seem to pile on. But the truth also is that often times I see each day as a necessary evil or a way to buy my time until I get to go to heaven. Yikes.
I know this sounds bad. I really do love my life. Daily I thank God for all He has given me-the people, the opportunities, the provisions, the many blessings. I don't want to blame this way of thinking on my constant battle with Depression. I don't want to chalk it up to some really difficult life events. I know it is my sinful and warped way of thinking that is the cause. But never-the-less it remains a struggle for me. So I wrestle with it. I wrestle with how do I balance longing for heaven and viewing each day here as a gift? How do I balance never feeling completely at home here on earth with enjoying life here on earth among all the blessings God has showered on me? How can I do both well?
I don't know the answer completely. I don't know if anyone can ever really live this out perfectly this side of heaven. But I DO think that the answer is found in Easter.
Today is "Good Friday'. Why is it so good? Well the simple answer is that because Jesus died, I didn't have to. Surely he was "pierced for (my) transgressions" (Isaiah 53:5). It wasn't the hands of the Romans held Jesus' hand steady for the nails; it was God's hand. It wasn't Pilate who condemned him to death; he went willingly. It wasn't the nails that held him there; it was love. (Isaiah 53 says this better than I ever could.) That is it really-the crux of it. And even a few weeks ago I would have left it at that. I would have said "weeee!!! I can go to heaven because of Jesus' sacrifice! That is what Good Friday and Easter are all about!" I may even have added some Jersey style fistpump or if I was feeling really wild a raise the roof circa 2002.
But I think there is more to it than that. I think that the truth of what happened this weekend almost 2000 years ago holds the answer to my struggle. Yes, because Jesus died I know my debt is paid. Because Jesus rose I know my hope is secure. And that is infinitely more than I deserve. And that causes me to be eternally grateful. And worshipful. And I find myself longing for heaven. Because of what Jesus did I can do that, and should long for heaven. But there is more than that.
Good Friday is good and Easter is better because they give me joyous victory not just for eternity but for this life too! They hold the answer to how I can long for heaven and still enjoy his blessings here and now. What is that?! I can actually find pleasure in my family and friends?! I can go out on a date with Peter and enjoy it? (Wait…what is this word "date" I speak of?) I can actually….wait for it….have fun?! Without feeling guilty?! Whoa. (In case you are unfamiliar with the word "fun" I looked up a definition of it when I was looking up the word "date" for myself. Dictionary.com defines fun as "something that provides mirth or amusement: A picnic would be fun" . Why, yes! A picnic would be fun! Maybe a picnic date?! Okay, okay I won't get too crazy.)
Jesus didn't give me days here as roadblocks to eternity. He gave me days as an opportunity to serve Him and love others. He gave me blessings and He wants me to enjoy them, life and He wants me to enjoy it-even though this life is not all there is. Jesus isn't a joy-sapper. He is the joy-giver.
Paul said:
"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me."
Philippians 1:20-26
It should not be a shock to me to hear that each day is a gift from God. True, the greatest gift of all took place on this weekend long ago, but because of that greatest gift-and what it unwraps in heaven for me- I can enjoy God's other gifts here and now. I can find joy in the blessings He has given me and still long for heaven. I can take pleasure in this world and still store up treasure in a better place. After all "it is for freedom that (I) have been set free" (Galatians 5:1a) and Jesus "came that (I) might have life and have it to the fullest" (John 10:10b). Easter enables me to say this. Easter is the answer. Okay, now I am going to go plan a picnic.

White House "Encouraged" By Immigration Progress
The White House says it is "encouraged" by recent progress on efforts to overhaul immigration.
White House spokesman Jay Carney cited positive comments from a bipartisan cast of senators over the weekend. He would not comment on cautionary remarks from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a key participant in the Senate negotiations.
A proposal being assembled by a bipartisan group of eight senators would provide a new class of worker visas for low-skilled workers, secure the border, crack down on employers, improve legal immigration and create a 13-year pathway to citizenship for the millions of illegal immigrants already here. Labor and business leaders have agreed on a framework for the plan.
Carney said the work by the senators reflects President Barack Obama's principles for changing immigration law. He added, "The process continues and is not finished."

Excessive Sweating Treatment Toronto
Ask a Question - We're Quick To Respond
Excessive underarm sweating an issue? Are you tired of worrying about changing shirts all the time? Then MiraDry Toronto treatment is for you and you're not the only one. Millions of people suffer from excessive underarm sweating. Excessive sweating, and specifically excessive underarm sweating is a daily struggle and can interfere with many aspects of your life. If any of these instances apply to you, the MiraDry treatment procedure at our Toronto sweat clinic may be what you are looking for.
Why should you choose SpaMedica and Dr. Mulholland to treat your axillary (armpit) hyperhidrosis
– Dr. Mulholland has been treating patients with excessive armpit sweat for 20 years, initially with Botox Injectable.
– Dr. Mulholland has accumulated the most experience with MiraDry in Canada over the past five years.
You don't have to sweat excessively to get treatments
– MiraDry treatments allow any amount of armpit sweat to be eliminated.
– Most SpaMedica patients do not even sweat excessively. They have chosen to not sweat at all in their armpits.
Permanent reduction of hair and odour
– One or two MiraDry treatments in Toronto will result in permanent reduction of hair in the armpits. Shaving will no longer be necessary.
– MiraDry reduces and eliminates oil and odour glands.
Other options if MiraDry is not as effective as desired.
– For the rare occasions that axillary hyperhidrosis patients do not see the permanent results with MiraDry, Dr. Mulholland offers several minimally invasive options to heat and destroy the sweat glands.
Options include:
(I) Botox Injectable treatment for excessive underarm sweating. Learn more about Botox Injectable Hyderhidrosis treatment here.
(II) Under-the-skin thermal treatments which are safe and effective and performed under local anesthesia with a single treatment, including the FaceTite™, SmartLipo™ and VASER® lipo.
At least 1% of the global population suffers from excessive underarm sweating. Excessive underarm sweat is a daily struggle since it interferes with almost every aspect in life. Excessive underarm sweat may interfere with a person's work and social life. These settings often cause people to feel anxious and frustrated over possibly ruining their clothes with sweat stains. This condition can affect a person's emotional well-being and self-image. It can impact how they feel about themselves and cause them to worry about how others view them.
If you have excessive underarm sweat, you may be suffering from a medical condition known as axillary hyperhidrosis. Axillary hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the underarm sweat glands are overactive, producing much more sweat than is needed to cool the body. If you think you may suffer from axillary hyperhidrosis, speak to a physician and ask if the MiraDry procedure is right for you.
Our bodies sweat to regulate body temperature. Armpits have two sweat glands known as the eccrine and apocrine sweat glands. Underarm sweat is produced through these glands, which are located just below the surface of the skin. The eccrine glands secrete a clear, odourless fluid and respond to elevated body temperature by helping to cool the body. The apocrine glands produce a milkier fluid that is odourless until it combines with the bacteria on skin. This is what gives underarm sweat its distinctive odour.
For those who sweat excessively, these underarm sweat glands are overactive. The glands turn on when they should not and producing much more sweat than is needed to cool the body. Excessive sweaters can produce four or five times more sweat than what is considered normal.
At SpaMedica, we have a specific procedure, the MiraDry treatment procedure, to help target and alleviate patients from excessive underarm sweating. The procedure is safe and clinically proven to provide a significant reduction of underarm sweat. It is a lasting solution and wonderful excessive sweating treatment that can solve your excessive underarm sweating and embarrassment.
The MiraDry system is a quick, non-invasive procedure performed at SpaMedica in Toronto, ON. The MiraDry treatment procedure uses an FDA cleared non-invasive technology to provide lasting results. The procedure uses precisely controlled energy to eliminate underarm sweat glands. The sweat glands do not grow back once removed, providing exceptional and lasting results.
Other treatment options like antiperspirants and toxins only temporarily disable the sweat glands for specific durations. Surgery is another option, but that involves risks. The MiraDry treatment in procedure is a non-invasive solution that provides lasting results.
The MiraDry Toronto procedure is a lasting and non-invasive solution for excessive underarm sweat available at SpaMedica. A well-trained physician will perform the procedure in an office, without having to make surgical incisions or cuts. There is customized treatment for each underarm with multiple placements of the MiraDry System. The MiraDry System delivers electromagnetic energy non-invasively to the area where the sweat glands reside. For your comfort, your underarms are numbed before the procedure.
For the best, lasting results, you should undergo two procedures three months apart. Each procedure appointment usually lasts about an hour. You can expect minimal to no downtime following the procedure. You should be able to return to normal activities or work right after your MiraDry treatment. Exercise and training can be resumed after several days. It is normal to have localized soreness and swelling that clears within a few weeks. Some patients may experience temporary, short-term altered sensation in the skin of their underarms or upper arms, which gradually disappears.
Find out if the MiraDry treatment is right for you by speaking to our SpaMedica doctors and staff. Please note the MiraDry procedure for excessive underarm sweating is only performed on adults aged 18 and over. The procedure is meant to treat the underarms and not anywhere else on the body.
What happens after the procedure?
You can expect minimal to no downtime following the procedure. You will likely be recommended a mild over-the-counter pain medication and instructed to use ice packs for a few days. You should be able to return to normal activities or work right after the procedure. Exercise and training can be resumed after several days. It is normal to have localized soreness and swelling that clears within a few weeks. Some patients may experience temporary, short-term altered sensation in the skin of their underarms or upper arms, which gradually disappears.
What results can I expect?
Most patients report a dramatic reduction of their underarm sweat. According to a recent clinical study, the average underarm sweat reduction was 82%. To maximize results, two procedures spaced three months apart are required. As with any medical procedure, results will vary by person.
How long will the results last?
You should expect to have lasting results. The sweat glands do not come back or regenerate after they have been eliminated, which solves the problem of excessive underarm sweating.
Don't I need my underarm sweat glands?
Your body contains over 4 million sweat glands and only about 2% is located in the underarms. The eliminated underarm sweat glands will not affect the body's ability to cool itself.
How can I show Dr. Mulholland my concerns and see if I am a MiraDry Toronto candidate?
Toronto MiraDry patients should simply fill out the appointment request form or "ask a question" form and upload up to 3 photos for Dr. Mulholland to review.
How do I schedule a consultation for the MiraDry procedure?
If you are interested in having a consultation with the SpaMedica team and Dr. Mulholland for MiraDry Toronto treatment, simply fill out our online consultation request form or call SpaMedica at 877-712-8367 to schedule a MiraDry Toronto consultation.

Newly reconfigured Phoenix International Raceway produced great racing Sunday afternoon. The multiple grooves allowed for many different lines, plenty of side-by-side racing and even a few blown tempers.
Kasey Kahne took the day by the scruff of the neck and claimed a win as he signs off from Red Bull Racing in 2011, now looking forward to his time with Hendrick Motorsports. The win was his first since 2009 and came on a day that saw the team continually improve the chassis and work its way into a competitive position. It was a great result for such a terrific effort from Kahne and the team.
The final race of the season is on tap at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida. Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards will be the focus of the event, but others will gun to steal the spotlight. The championship contenders find themselves separated by just three points, and Stewart will have to beat Edwards on the track to claim the day - and the season. That task is easier said than done after the two battled closely all Sunday, each seemingly having an equal measure of the other.
The last few years since its reconfiguration, Homestead has become a competitive track. The hot sun can make the afternoon's run slippery, but multiple grooves in the track allow drivers to compensate more for an ill-handling car than most tracks. Fuel could become a factor, but hopefully hard racing will be all that decides the championship for 2011.
Carl Edwards – The best recent results of current drivers at Homestead-Miami Speedway belong to Edwards. In the last five races at the track, he claims two wins, three top-fives and no finishes outside the top 10. Statistics like that mean trouble for championship rival Tony Stewart. The pair finished nose to tail in Sunday's Kobalt Tools 500 and now will duke it out in Florida for the honor of hoisting the Sprint Cup. Edwards finished ahead of Stewart last week, but both were battling hard throughout the long race. You can barely slide a sheet of notebook paper between the two, and rest assured both will run their hardest again this week. Edwards makes a confident choice.
Kevin Harvick – Harvick's hopes in the championship Chase were officially dashed Sunday, but he could very well be a front-runner for the victory Sunday. His average finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway is 6.4 in the last five events, with four top-fives and eight total top-10s in his 10-race career at the track. He finished 19th in Phoenix, just one more example of a disappointing day that helped him lose traction against the championship leaders the last few weeks. Fantasy players shouldn't be too worried, though. Harvick has a habit of finding a way to come forward at the end of a race, and Homestead is a perfect opportunity to show what he has despite losing the Chase.
A.J. Allmendinger – Nine top-10s in 2011 prior to Phoenix make this season one of Allmendinger's best. Add to that tally one more top-10 finish earned in Phoenix, and you have the making of an attractive fantasy option this week. Allmendinger is coming on strong as the season winds down; just like he began it, if you remember. His momentum should carry him on an upward wave into one of the tracks where he has always performed like a star. Allmendinger has raced in the Sprint Cup three times in Miami, never finishing worse than 11th. He isn't a name that rises to the top of fantasy lists often, but this championship weekend should be an excellent opportunity to make the play.
Jimmie Johnson – The season finale has centered on Johnson the last five years. This year, it will not. Another disappointing result in Phoenix pushed Johnson down to fifth in the Chase standings and is emblematic of the 180-degree turn his luck took since his incredible string of championship runs. Johnson finished 14th Sunday in Phoenix, his second 14th-place result in a row. In his 10 career Miami starts, the No. 48 has only finished outside of the top 10 three times, though. His average finish at the track is 11.6 and climbs to 7.6 in the last five races. While Johnson has never won in Miami, he owns two poles and can consistently be considered a favorite despite the Chase luck he suffered in 2011.
Martin Truex Jr. – Despite finishing 20th in Sunday's Kobalt Tools 500, Truex showed moments of greatness. He ran well within the top 10 for the first half of the race, and looked like he could be on pace to land his fourth consecutive top-10 finish. Things didn't go the team's way, though, but rest assured that Truex will be back this week. His record at Miami is a good, and the team is hungry to end the year on a high note. Truex looks likely to continue his strong run of finishes into the season finale based on his record at the track and his current form. His average finish from the last five races at the Florida oval is 7.6, including four top-10s and a worst finish of just 11th.
Kasey Kahne – Kahne had a fantastic afternoon in Phoenix, driving through the field to claim his first win since 2009, and what could be the last for Red Bull Racing. The team is exiting the series after this week's race, and Kahne is heading to Hendrick Motorsports in 2012. His average finish in Miami is a strong 11.4. And coupled with his victory last weekend, Kahne is a driver not to ignore. His Miami record includes two poles, a top-five and another top-10 in the last five races. Plus, we've seen how important momentum can be this season. It is clearly on Kahne's side with last week's win, and fantasy owners should take notice.
Kyle Busch – The despair that Busch suffered last week after being forced to sit out the weekend may have seemed compassionate compared to the disappointment of his blown engine Sunday. Phoenix was shaping up to be a rebound effort after running extremely well before the trouble struck. He started deep in the field, but worked his way into the top five before mechanical gremlins caused the engine to expire. To magnify his downturn, simply examine his Miami statistics. He has never finished strong at Miami, claiming just one top-10 from the last five races there. His best finish at the track was eighth in the 2009 Ford 400, but his average finish in six tries is a very disappointing 26.3.
Juan Pablo Montoya – Montoya claims a best finish of 15th at Homestead-Miami Speedway in his short five-race career at the track. Interestingly, 15th was where Montoya also finished last weekend in Phoenix. When he isn't angering other drivers on track, Montoya is trying to find the speed Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing showed in 2010. It hasn't been found in 2011, and both Montoya and his team know they'll have to work hard this winter to close the gap. Fantasy owners need a lot more than statistics like that 15th-place finish this week, though. His average finish in his five-race career at the track is 27.8, and with his rowdy driving style this season, Montoya makes a risky fantasy option this week.
Brian Vickers – Frustration from Martinsville Speedway bubbled to the surface when Vickers pushed Matt Kenseth hard into a turn and into the wall, ending his already dimming championship hopes. Vickers clearly did all he could to push Kenseth into the turn faster than he could handle, and the result was two damaged cars and a 23rd-place result for the No. 83 team. Miami is one track where Vickers has never gotten the job done. Seven career starts at the Florida oval have earned Vickers a best finish of just 18th. His average result at the track is 30.0. Red Bull Racing is leaving NASCAR Sprint Cup after this race, and it would be nice for Vickers to give the team a parting gift, but that doesn't appear likely.
David Reutimann – Reutimann's 24.5 average finish in his four career races at Miami is nothing that will excite fantasy owners. He simply has not finished well at the track despite claiming a pole in the 2008 Ford 400. This will be Reutimann's last race with Michael Waltrip Racing, but the numbers don't suggest that it will produce anything better than we've come to expect from the 41-year-old in Miami. He exits Phoenix with his third top-10 finish of the season, but that is his best result since July at Kentucky Speedway. The momentum from last week's top-10 shouldn't be enough of a boost to overcome a career of poor finishes at the Florida oval.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Lack of consistency continues to plague Earnhardt and his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports team. Just one week after claiming a top-10 finish at Texas Motor Speedway, his second top-10 in a row, Earnhardt fell back in the running to finish 24th in Phoenix. The ups and downs this team has experienced in 2011 shows it has potential to move forward but still has plenty of land to plow. To make things even more challenging, Miami might be one of Earnhardt's most difficult tracks. His average finish in the last five races there is 30.2. In his 11 career Miami starts, the best classification he can boast is 13th from the 2000 Pennzoil 400. Earnhardt's likely fate this week is not one with which fantasy owners should gamble.

Third body found after 'towering inferno' destroys Lincolnshire home
A THIRD body has been found after two people died in a house fire in Lincolnshire, police have confirmed.
The deadly fire started just after midnight on Sunday.
Emergency services – including six fire engines from neighbouring towns – rushed to tackle the blaze at an address in Spalding.
The fire raged until the early hours of the morning and was described as a "towering inferno" by local residents.
Police are working to establish the identity of the three deceased and trace next of kin.
One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "I was woken by my daughter who said 'mum there are loads of fire engines outside'.
"That was the first I knew about it. Earlier I could smelling burning. I thought someone was having a barbecue."
The identities of the deceased are not yet known.
A resident told the Peterborough Telegraph: "the house was in multiple occupancy with people from the East European community."
A spokesperson for Lincolnshire Police said: "Sadly, we can confirm that there have been two fatalities.
"We are not in a position to provide any further details about the deceased at this stage and the cause of the fire is not yet known.
"A joint fire service and police investigation is underway."

Joel Robuchon - MGM Grand Ratings and Reviews
An outstanding dining experience with attention to every possible detail without being overly stuffy. The wait staff was professional, knowledgeable without hovering. The food was beyond great with unusual options without breaking with French classics. We will go back again when we have the money to indulge in such wonder!! Bravo!!!
My 4th time to this restaurant and yet again I was amazed. Every detail about the food/service and Ambiance was stunning start to finish. You won't get out of here for under $1000 per couple, but that's ok because it's a night you remember for a very long time and money very well spent. Not many places have such an impact on you as this will. I will be back for sure soon......again
Excelente ambiance, service and food. A bit over in terms of service and lack of details on what to expect. Not everyone has the habit to go to this kind of restaurant, a bit more of explanation and details are very welcome. The little gift at the end is a must and food is excellent.
3 star taste, if that. Presentation and service great and very friendly. Lacks taste!!! Very over priced as compared to Guy Savoy. Don't bother with wine pairing, nothing special and too many white wines. Michelin should update their star status if the original chef leaves. If they visit on a Wed and try the food now, they will update their recommendation. I don't understand how restaurants like Cafe Ponte & Victoria and Albert in FL and Wheatley and Lespalier in MA are not Michelin 3 star restaurants? Their food tastes so much better. Making everything into a foam and having french accent should not be a criteria. Underwhelmed!
Amazing!!! The food and food presentation was outstanding! We did the wine pairing with the menu degustation which was divine. The servers and wine steward gave exquisite descriptions of the food and wine pairings which enhanced the evening. Can't wait to go back to see what the creative chef puts together on next menu. Definitely deserves to be a 3 Michelin Star restaurant.
Lived up to its 3-star Michelin rating in every way. Every bite seemed exactly the way the chef intended. Wife and I are foodies and have eaten at many Michelin rated restaurants but this was the best restaurant we've dined at, despite being non-drinkers and leaving $800 lighter in the wallet.
Exceptionnel! À la hauteur de la réputation du chef Robuchon!
Overall we were very impressed. Menu was a bit confusing with their different pricing options. Maître d' was a bit hard to understand with a very heavy French accent. Overall atmosphere and presentations are second to none. This restaurant is a good choice for a very special occasion or if you have very deep pockets and price is no object.
The service and food were excellent, especially for Vegas. However in comparison to other three michelin star restaurants in Paris, there is still something missing, that perfectly orchestrated symphony that we come to love and expect out of all three michelin star restaurants. Overall great place.
We waited 45 minutes before we were served any bread. The service is extremely slow for only having a few guests in the restaurant. We arrived at 5:30pm and didn't get the amuse buse for over an hour. We did the 4 course meal. The foie with artichoke and the lobster appetizers were delicious. Everything else was downhill. The cheese souffle was mush. It had a decent flavor but texture was awful. After having the corn amuse buse, it just didn't pair well. My husband had the ribeye which was 2 slices of meat. For that price it should be a whole steak. I had the pork. It was too spicy with pepper. The black pepper was huge chunks that completely blew out my palate. We both ordered the chocolate souffle for dessert. Mine was undercooked. Certain items on the menu if ordered were an added charge. After already paying $400 for a meal, everything on the menu should be included. I wish I could be refunded. This was not the experience I was expecting.
Awesome food!
Thank you for making our anniversary special.
Every dish was spectacular! The staff was attentive and very kind. Our every wish was filled with calm expertise. Honestly cannot remember be pampered so much during a meal. We wish your establishment the best. We will absolutely return when the opportunity presents itself!
Bring a Sandwich.
The final bill was just over $1,200 for the two of us (got the 17 piece tasting menu and a couple of drinks). The quick detail is that I left hungry and I am not a big guy! I was in town doing a combat sport Championship and my weight class is 138lbs. < I left hungry. I was very excited to go here and most of the food was amazing. There were items that we had to choke down because it felt like a waste of money not to eat. We went crazy on the bread cart (which was really good) and kept requesting more bread. Afterwards we both were wondering how hungry we would be if we didn't get more and more bread. As I realized how many dishes were left, I started eating more bread.
I was most definitely rubbed the wrong way with the final desert selection. The person I was with requested some items from the desert cart (a cart filled with small deserts; most of which are the size of a jellybean or buttons). The waiter suggested I only take a bit so that I don't take more than I can eat or make myself sick and that, if I wanted more, I could select more. After eating my selection we received the bill and no one asked if we would like more. ... and I would have also like more bread. haha...
As mentioned above, I fought at 138lbs this weekend and probably weighed 145lbs at the time of dinner so I'm not a giant person but definitely didn't leave here satisfied at all and pretty upset to leave a $1,200 dinner hungry.
Perhaps better to avoid the tasting menu and make your own selections. The Big highlight items for both of use during the tasting menu would be: Ravioli, Mashed Potato's, Frog Lollipop, soft boiled egg, and the desert that with butterfly's and looks like a terrarium.
Probably the best restaurant in Las Vegas. This is high-end culinary experience for people who can appreciate top level dining. Tasting menu is on par with the best restaurants in the world and would be highly recommended. It is worth the price. This restaurant also has the best value set menu in Las Vegas.
Probably the priciest meal in Vegas. But if you can appreciate the quality of the food, and just as importantly, the amount of skilled labor that goes into preparing it, then it's arguably very worth it. In other words, if you're not really a "foodie," then you won't get it, and the place will just seem outrageously expensive.
Service was phenomenal, with great attention to detail. Though the wine service slowed towards the end, with glasses not being refilled. Speaking of wine, for a place this expensive, the list had several relative bargains.
Finally, this was probably the nicest dining room in all of Vegas. Small, tasteful, elegant. Doesn't seem like it belongs in the MGM Grand.
This beautiful, serene restaurant is a welcome reprieve from the hustle bustle of Vegas. Though the flavors and textures of the varied courses were amazing, I was still hungry after the three courses and feel like the portions could have been a little larger. I'm a frequent fine diner - here in the US and abroad - and have been to many similar restaurants with similar price points. Although I enjoyed this restaurant, I felt a little fleeced and probably would not return.
I have to admit my ignorance. I had not heard of Joel Robuchon, but when my wife pointed out reviews like being named "Chef of the Century," it piqued my interest. I struggle with how to rate the value of this experience because at about $500 per plate and with the wine pairing an additional $225, it is the most expensive dining my wife and I have done. So, would I repeat the experience? No. It was a 4 hour marathon. Was it worth the experience? Absolutely. The service was impeccable. Each plate was a work of art that I had to spend a couple of minutes simply admiring before diving in. I was amazed by the complexity of the dishes and I can't even begin to imagine the skill required to pull off a 17 plate meal like that. Truly a once in a lifetime experience of impermanent art.
One word. AWESOME. The word gets over used, but this truly describes the experience. Nico, Kit, Andrew, Dris are rock stars. Once, in my case twice, in a life time experience. Back of the house, chef de cuisine, pastry chef, AMAZING. A must do in anyone's life time.
Amazing! My wife and I did the $250 tasting menu and it was absolutely fabulous. Wonderful service, great presentation and overall great experience. You would never figure that this restaurant would be in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the MGM Grand. Definitely worth trying at least once in your lifetime.
The $445 Full Tasting Menu was truly a meal of a lifetime. A dining experience that one must have at least once in your life. Though Michelin no longer rates Las Vegas (nor does it Los Angeles), this 3 Michelin Star restaurant is truly retaining all its luster. Attentive but not suffocating service. Beautiful and delicious food. Spectacular bread and dessert carts. Everything was perfect. Allow 3+ hours for the full tasting menu.
This was an unforgettable dining experience. My former number one was 11 Madison Park and Masa has also ranked very high on my list. Joel Robuchon is by far and away my new number one place. I had the tasting menu at $445 but could have the wine pairing as the other people in my party could not drink. Every course was an experience. The entire experience was unforgettable... some of the dishes seared into my memory. The wait staff was excellent... they were very attentive and patient... explaining the components of the meal and the ingredients. They would recommend an order for eating the dishes and why ( you're free to do whatever you want but I was happy following their advice ). The hostess was friendly ( and I think she has been part of the restaurant scene for years now.. I seem to remember her from my previous trips to Vegas ). This is Joel Robuchon flagship restaurant and for very good reason. Is was absolutely worth it!

What to do in a terror attack – level 3
22-02-2016 15:00
French authorities have published video instructions on how to react in the event of a terror attack similar to those which killed 130 and injured hundreds in November 2015. The simple step-by-step guide gives advice on the dos and don'ts in case of an armed attack and has been circulated on social media websites.
The video instructs that the first reaction should be to escape, help others where possible and warn of the danger. The video goes on to advise on how to protect oneself if trapped in a danger zone by hiding and alerting the police. The guide concludes with practical instructions on how to help victims with first aid emergency techniques.
Proving once again France's resilience to not only counter the terror threat but prepare its civilians to survive any possible situation.
Difficult words: escape (yo run away), trapped (stuck, unable to leave), alert (to warn), conclude (to end), resilience (strength), threat (danger), counter (to fight back).

2008, NR, 136 min. Directed by Matteo Garrone. Starring Salvatore Abruzzese, Toni Servillo, Gianfelice Imparato, Maria Nazionale, Carmine Paternoster, Salvatore Cantalupo, Marco Macor, Ciro Petrone.
REVIEWED By Marc Savlov, Fri., March 27, 2009
Based on Roberto Saviano's bestselling exposé about the Italian crime machine known as the Camorra, Gomorrah (pun intended) is riveting from its first frame to its last. As a deromanticizing of the myth of the suave, Michael Corleone-style gangster icon, the film is overwhelmingly effective. But considering that what you're seeing is, essentially, what's actually happening in and around Naples right now, Gomorrah begins to feel more like a weird, Jodorowsky-esque surrealist nightmare. It's amoebic in its portrayal of the society-wrecking, viral nature of organized crime, and it has no room for sentimentality or even, in the end, hope. For sure, it's a violent gangster movie; it doesn't glamorize the lifestyle one bit. (Saviano, who had a hand in the screenplay, has been under police protection since his book was published three years ago.) Shot in a flat, unobtrusive documentary style by cinematographer Marco Onorato, Gomorrah weaves together five separate storylines, all of which, in turn, revolve around a seedy, crumbling tenement on the outskirts of Naples. There's 13-year old Totò (Abruzzese), an inherently good kid sucked into the vortex of the Camorra when he does some low-level hoods a semiaccidental favor involving a misplaced handgun. There are two Scarface-quoting teenage lamebrains, Marco (Macor) and Ciro (Petrone), who scheme to steal a cache of weaponry from some other local hoods, with predictably disastrous results. And then there are the weasely, hapless moneyman Don Ciro (Imparato); his unctuous, casually evil boss, Franco (Servillo); and, finally, Pasquale (Cantalupo), a frazzled haute-couture tailor who's in a bind over how to keep up with the protection money he owes the Camorra. All the characters are brilliantly delineated, the grimy plazas and parking garages equally, drably arresting. This film is gorgeous like a corpse, but there's no rigor mortis yet; it moves to the inexorable beat of 9mm slugs hitting human meat. Director Garrone's unflinching portrait of a very real hell on earth won the Grand Prix at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival (plus a boatload of other awards), but this isn't some pomo arthouse picture looking to score points by subverting the gangster paradigm; it's a killer film about killers who idolize film but are unable or unwilling to parse the doom that always crops up come Act III. "Gomorrah: See Naples and die," or, more accurately "Gormorrah: See Naples die."

text: I had kept Linea at my in law's place and it was idle for a week. FIL does not drive big cars now. He settles for a hatch. I started the car this Sunday and it started at the first crank, without any issues. But, when I took it out on to the road, the car would not gain speed even if I would press the pedal heavily. The rpm was staying at 1200. I checked if the hand brake was still applied, but it was not. After a few minutes (2-3 mins may be) I hear the doors lock and it started gaining speed and then it worked just normal. Car has done 39,000 kms, runs on the original battery (everything is original, except the tyres). Did you face this issue? Or is this normal?

"A Swedish/Norwegian dish from Classic Scandinavian Cooking by Nika Hazelton. Posted for Zaar World Tour II thanks to some help from my friend MP."
Hot Cauliflower With Shrimp
0 recipe photos
READY IN:30mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 1 cup milk
- 1⁄2 medium onion, minced (or 1 tsp onion powder)
- 2 sprigs dill or 2 sprigs parsley
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 1⁄4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 cups shelled cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup heavy cream (whipped)
- minced dill or parsley
- Trim cauliflower, wash thoroughly and cook whole till tender. ***Cook's Notes below.
- While cooking cauliflower, make sauce. Combine milk, onion and dill (or parsley) sprigs & bring to a boil. Remove dill or parsley.
- Melt butter, stir in flour; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not let brown.
- Add hot milk to mixture, stirring all the while. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, till mixture is thickened and smooth. Cook 2 minutes longer and season with salt & pepper.
- Add shrimp and cook over lowest possible heat till shrimp are heated through. Fold whipped cream into sauce.
- Place hot cauliflower on serving dish and pour sauce over it. Sprinkle w/minced dill or parsley.
- **** Cook's notes:
- Rapid cooking time of cauliflower not only reduces the odor but also preserves crispness, color, and reduces the loss of nutrients that will leach into the cooking water when overcooked.
- To microwave cauliflower, cover a whole head of cauliflower with plastic wrap & microwave on high for 3 minutes, turn head over, and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes.
- To steam cauliflower, place it in a steamer basket, and then place in a pot with 2 inches of water. Cover and steam. A whole head of cauliflower (1 ½ pounds) will take 15 to 20 minutes to cook, but begin checking for tenderness after 12 minutes.

Faber, Michel. UNDER THE SKIN. London, England: Canongate Books, 2000. Softcover. First Edition/First Printing. 296 pages. Fine/Fine.
The author's breakthrough first novel. One of the most important literary debuts of our time. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. The book is beautifully produced: Glossy pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Blurb by Kate Atkinson that is printed separately and pasted in front. Printed on archival stock paper in the United Kingdom to the highest standards. In white-and-orange translucent glassine DJ that covers and protects the book, as issued. Presents Michel Faber's "Under The Skin". Science fiction as horror movie, and as only the Dutch author who writes exclusively in English could have pulled off. A beautiful and seemingly fragile woman cruises the highways in search of men, luring a succession of lost souls into an otherworldly lair. "A combination of Roald Dahl and Franz Kafka, Somerset Maugham shacking up with Ian McEwan. At once humane and horrifying, 'Under The Skin' takes us on a heart-thumping ride through dangerous territory - our own moral instincts and the boundaries of compassion. A grotesque and comical allegory announcing the arrival of an exciting talent, rich and assured" (Publisher's blurb). "Examines human experience from the perspective of an unforgettable heroine who grows too comfortable in her borrowed skin, until she is abducted into humanity with devastating results". The basis of the very fine film adaptation by Jonathan Glazer, with a career-defining performance by Scarlett Johansson. An absolute "must-have" title for Michel Faber collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and inscribed ("lined") in blue pen on the title page by the author: " 'Here I come', Michel Faber". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The inscription is the last line of the novel. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of very few such signed and inscribed copies of the First Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online command as much as $400. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0862419271. $100.00

I am back...(((( No words to describe how amazing time I had to Sifnos with my bf and friends! The island was so peaceful and full of different traits and qualities to offer to its visitors! This was our very first day on the island and we chose to stroll inside the center. The greek islands' architecture is one of a kind, showing how important it is to keep the balance between useful structures and decorating attributes... Everything is a matter of proportions!

There are few things I hate more than coming out to a frozen car in the morning. Lately I've been trying a few of these tips to reduce my "de-freezing" time.
Here are a couple of tips that should help: You can prevent frozen car doors by using cooking spray. Just a quick spray on your door seams the night before will prevent them from freezing.
And shrink-wrap your windshield. To prevent frost from forming on your windshield, just cover the outside of the windshield with plastic wrap or foil the night before then pull off the wrap to reveal a frost-free windshield. Yahtzee!
Before you ask, yes, my car does look like a big helping of refrigerated leftovers when I come out in the morning.

Few weeks back we have announced Cloudbreak – the open source Hadoop as a Service API. Included in the release we open sourced a REST API, REST client, UI and a CLI/shell. In this post we'd like to show you how easy is to use Cloudbreak shell in order to create on demand Hadoop clusters on your favorite cloud provider.
While it's up to everybody's personal preference whether to use a UI, a command line interface or the REST API directly, at SequenceIQ we prefer to use command line tools whenever it's possible because it's much faster than interacting with a web UI and it's a better candidate for automation. Yeah – we have mentioned this many times – we are
obsessed with automation; any step which is a candidate of doing it twice we script and automate it.
thing with the automation does not affect the effort and quality standards we put on building the UI – Cloudbreak has an extremely intuitive and clean responsive UI and it's built on the latest and greatest web UI framework – Angular JS. We will have a post about the UI, however we consider it so simple to use that we ask you to go ahead and give it a try. You are a signup and a few clicks away from your Hadoop cluster.
Now back to the CLI. Remember one of our Apache contribution – the Ambari shell and REST API? Well, the Cloudbreak shell is built on the same technology – Spring Shell. It's an interactive shell that can be easily extended using a Spring based programming model and battle tested in various projects like Spring Roo, Spring XD, and Spring REST Shell Combine these two projects to create a powerful tool.
Cloudbreak Shell
The goal with the CLI was to provide an interactive command line tool which supports:
- all functionality available through the REST API or Cloudbreak web UI
- makes possible complete automation of management task via scripts
- context aware command availability
- tab completion
- required/optional parameter support
- hint command to guide you on the usual path
Install Cloudbreak Shell
You have 3 options to give it a try:
- use our prepared docker image
- download the latest self-containing executable jar form our maven repo
- build it from source
We will follow up with the first two, in this post we'd like to guide you through the third option.
Build from source
If want to use the code or extend it with new commands follow the steps below. You will need: – jdk 1.7 – maven 3.x.x
1 2 3
Connect to Cloudbreak
In order to use the shell you will have to have a Cloudbreak account. You can get one by subscribing to our hosted and free Cloudbreak instance. Alternatively you can build your own Cloudbreak and deploy it within your organization – for that just follow up with the steps in the Cloudbreak documentation. We suggest to try our hosted solution as in case you have any issues we can always help you with. Please feel free to create bugs, ask for enhancements or just give us feedback by either using our GitHub repository or the other channels highlighted in the product documentation (Google Groups, email or social channels). The shell is built as a single executable jar with the help of Spring Boot.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Once you are connected you can start to create a cluster. If you are lost and need guidance through the process you can use
hint. You can always use
TAB for completion. Note that all commands are
context aware – they are available only when it makes sense – this way you are never confused and guided by the system on the right path.
Create a cloud credential
In order to start using Cloudbreak you will need to have a cloud user, for example an Amazon AWS account. Note that Cloudbreak does not store you cloud user details – we work around the concept of IAM – on Amazon (or other cloud providers) you will have to create an IAM role, a policy and associate that with your Cloudbreak account – for further documentation please refer to the documentation.
Alternatively you can upload your public key from a file as well, by using the
—sshKeyPath switch. You can check whether the credential was creates successfully by using the
credential list command. You can switch between your cloud credential – when you'd like to use one and act with that you will have to use:
Create a template
A template gives developers and systems administrators an easy way to create and manage a collection of cloud infrastructure related resources, maintaining and updating them in an orderly and predictable fashion. A template can be used repeatedly to create identical copies of the same stack (or to use as a foundation to start a new stack).
You can check whether the template was created successfully by using the
template list command. Check the template with or select if you are happy with:
1 2 3
Create a stack
Stacks are template
instances – a running cloud infrastructure created based on a template. Use the following command to create a stack to be used with your Hadoop cluster:
Select a blueprint
We ship default Hadoop cluster blueprints with Cloudbreak. You can use these blueprints or add yours. To see the available blueprints and use one of them please use:
1 2 3
Create a Hadoop cluster
You are almost done – one more command and this will create your Hadoop cluster on your favorite cloud provider. Same as the API, or UI this will use your
template, and by using CloudFormation will launch a cloud
stack – once the
stack is up and running (cloud provisioning is done) it will use your selected
blueprint and install your custom Hadoop cluster with the selected components and services. For the supported list of Hadoop components and services please check the documentation.
You are done – you can check the progress through the Ambari UI. If you log back to Cloudbreak UI you can check the progress over there as well, and learn the IP address of Ambari.
Automate the process
Each time you start the shell the executed commands are logged in a file line by line and later either with the
script command or specifying an
—cmdfile option the same commands can be executed again.
For the full list of available commands please check below. Please note that all commands are context aware, and you can always use
TAB for command completion.
* blueprint add - Add a new blueprint with either --url or --file
* blueprint defaults - Adds the default blueprints to Cloudbreak
* blueprint list - Shows the currently available blueprints
* blueprint select - Select the blueprint by its id

* credential select - Select the credential by its id
* credential show - Shows the credential by its id
* exit - Exits the shell
* help - List all commands usage
* hint - Shows some hints
* quit - Exits the shell
* script - Parses the specified resource file and executes its commands
* stack create - Create a new stack based on a template
* stack list - Shows all of your stack
* stack select - Select the stack by its id
* stack show - Shows the stack by its id

Kiara Nirghin is a South African science enthusiast who is sustaining the entrepreneurial, saying that there is always something to invent.
Whoever knew you could combat drought with the commonest part of nature – Orange peels?
We would never have known that for a fact if the 16-year old South African in the person of Kiara Nirghin did not give the thought a scientific shot.
See Also: 3 Fruit Peels That Give Amazing Health Benefits
Kiara Nirghin is a Grade 11 student of St Martin's High School, an Anglican school in Johannesburg.
Kiara entered for the Google Science Fair competition, which is an international online science and technology competition open to individuals and teams between the ages of 13-18. As part of a google competition, the teenager presented her "fighting drought with fruit" piece.
Using the drought in South Africa as a case study, she discovered that most citrus fruit contained naturally occurring polymers.
Kiara's discovery is indeed significant especially at a time when the Southern African countries, Zimbabwe and South Africa alike are going through the worst of droughts in ages.
Both countries have witnessed severe loss and deaths of plants and animals.
With that knowledge of biodegradable polymer, she went on an orange peel hunt. She obtained them from a juice-manufacturing factory. She literally turned a waste product into a vital resource for farmers.
Orange peels contain 64% of polysaccharides' which makes them biodegradable polymer.
Kiara boiled the peels and mixed them with the natural oil found in avocado peels and then experimented with ultraviolet light and heat. The "orange peel mixture" absorbed 76.1% of water in 45 days. This proves that the mixture could increase soil moisture.
While non-biodegradable Chemical absorbents are expensive, the Orange peel mixture is more affordable.
Hear her:
"The product is fully biodegradable, low-cost and has better water retaining properties than commercial SAPs. The only resources involved in the creation of the 'orange peel mixture' were electricity and time, no special equipment nor materials were required."

The discovery really implies that the young lady is an ardent social observer and problem solver. For her scientific invention, Kiara became the champ of the google competition. She won for herself a $50,000 (£38,000) scholarship.
According to the bright and young South African student, it took her 3 different experiments and nearly 2 months to arrive at her conclusion.
Kiara Nirghin hopes that her invention will help farmers save their money and crops as well.
