I drive a minivan during the winter in Chicagoland. Last week, on a sleet-filled day in the grocery parking lot, I pulled the sliding door handle. In dismay, I found that the door was frozen shut. This was the third time this month this had happened. So I tried harder. And harder. Finally, I gave it one last yank. Next thing I knew I was flat on my back with a broken door handle in my hand.
We have all experienced open and closed doors in our Christian life. But how do we know when a door is really shut? How hard should we pull?
Certainly, sometimes in my life I have wanted to give up on a closed door. I recall the difficulty at finding the first church after seminary at which I could serve. Months passed and I began to doubt my call to ministry because all the doors seemed shut. As I was passing for one of the last times besides the "opportunity board" at the seminary, I saw an advertisement from a church in Greece.
After all the closed doors, this one felt wide open. Once there, we felt God's hand on the ministry as we served that church in Athens.
What do you look for in closed and open doors so that you don't end up flat on your back with the handle in your hand? I think there are ways we can be sure that a door is shut or open.
First, remember that the call God has given us will likely require intensive perseverance.
Consider that everybody around William Carey questioned his desire to go to India as a pioneer missionary. In one ministry meeting those around him actually said, "Young man, sit down; when God pleases to convert the heathen, he will do it without your aid and mine." The minds of the resistant need to be carefully challenged, so Carey persevered by writing a book about the need to push open the door to converting the lost. And then he went to India with eventual success in planting missions. He persevered.
Second, remember that open and closed doors are often group efforts.
Acts 13:1-5 is a great example of the group effort between the Holy Spirit, the leaders of the church, and the two who were to go through a new door of ministry, Paul and Barnabas. The Spirit called. The leaders responded. The church sent out.
It is a picture-perfect example of a clear open door. Yours might be more messy. But seeing the coincidence of Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and good counsel from mature believers is a pretty safe direction.
As a caution here, I would say that some closed doors are screen doors, with plenty of breeze, perhaps a nice view on the other side, and easy access. But they are closed, nevertheless. There have been times in my life that it just took a little push to open the door, but it was not right according to Scripture and to those best counselors around me.
One of the most painful choices of my life happened when all counsel pointed to not take a door that seemed open. I took the door nevertheless because it was so easy to open. In the end, the counsel that warned me was proven right. And there is much pain as I look back on that decision.
Third, know that some doors have windows.
What I mean by this is that some closed doors have a really clear view of what might be on the other side. They are a bit like the screen door. But the counsel and direction is not so clear to press in or to move on. In this case, I recommend sitting by the door for a while and judging what God is affirming and confirming in your heart. Perhaps it is a life decision such as adoption, or a move to another region, or an assumption of a significant ministry commitment.
If it is not quite clear, sit and look at what you might see on the other side. Weigh what might be felt if you pass the door by. And weigh the costs that you can see if you persist in pressing to open the door. Sometimes we do not tarry and wait on God enough for the door to remain closed or to clearly open.
Fourth, know that struggle can be a good sign that the door is open.
Paul heard from the Lord that struggle was a good sign (1 Cor. 18:9)—especially since he had already passed through the door. Perhaps he was tempted to turn back or to wonder if he really had been meant to pass through. Take spiritual struggle, the need to grow, and the hard work of perseverance as a strong sign that you took the right door.
But, it is hard at this point in the process.
Fifth, know that when things start breaking, the door is probably closed.
I counsel many who feel called to ministry. Some have pushed the desire to be in ministry so much that their family is breaking, they are irrecoverably into debt, or they are breaking important vows that they have made in their heart. When the handle breaks, it is best to stop.
Perhaps ask God to open a window. Or try other doors in a different area. But don't persist when important things break. Now I cannot open the door of my car. I found that it will be easy to fix the door when I get the time. But a broken family is difficult to mend. So stop when important things start to break.
Finally, trust that when you have to break in, the door is closed.
A similar kind of breakage hardly goes without mentioning. But I will mention it anyway because our culture is so focused on discovering a destiny and following it no matter the cost. Simply put, there are doors that are never meant to be broken down for the Christian.
Many of these doors relate to money, sex, or power. You know what temptations drive you to the wrong door. I have advice. Buy a padlock and stay away from that door even if you have broken it down in the past. Create a safe zone.
When I fell with the broken handle in my hand, I injured my elbow and my pride. Quickly, I looked around to see if anyone had observed my mistake. I was embarrassed. But I had learned a lesson that will hopefully last me a lifetime.

Email Mum in Hadstock
About Hadstock
The village of Hadstock lies on the north-west Essex and Cambridgeshire county border, around 4 miles from Saffron Walden market town. Comprised mostly of half-timbered houses nestled round the village green, the centre is overlooked by St Botolph's church, an ancient building with the oldest church door still in use in Britain and its own charity, The Friends of St Botolph's. There is a local legend attached to a small piece of what looked like leather found in the ancient door's iron fittings in 1791, which was later whispered to have once been the skin of a sacrificed Viking, killed for sacking the church. Recent DNA testing, however, suggests it is rather the skin of a cow.
Hadstock also boasts The King's Head public house, a recreation ground, village hall and a monthly magazine of parish, council and community news that testify to a vibrant village life. The disused airfield on the village outskirts played its part in the battles of World War II.

Every now and then @BishopBarron offers a wonderful commentary on "The Crown" https://youtu.be/MqEFIc7aXQQ Here he is on a lesson about the primacy of Grace
This is brilliant from @BishopBarron, especially point 3 on dumbing down the faith! https://twitter.com/lourdes_leigh/status/1204380133265686534
@BishopBarron Very powerful reflection — especially since this morning, I said let's read Bishop Barron's Advent Reflection to 3 of my 5 kiddos. Well, it couldn't have been more powerful of a reflection, especially for me!
When my heart hurts I listen to 20 minutes of @BishopBarron and then most often I find that I feel better afterwards

Let's be honest: calling yourself an atheist (someone who does not believe in any sort of God) comes with a lot of baggage, and it kinda sucks. Hot on the heels of this list about what agnostics are tired of hearing by Amelia Brady, I'm here to tell you the fourteen things that the atheist you're talking to has definitely heard before - and, quite frankly, can't stand to hear.
I genuinely can't grasp why people always say this. The statement implies atheists are all emotionless sybarites who go around kicking kittens for fun or something. Maybe it's because people grow up following God's teachings as an absolute moral foundation, and it's hard to conceive living any other way — but all it takes is swearing by some basic humanistic principles. And having empathy. In fact, more secular societies tend to be less violent. An anecdotal example: Sweden, the third most irreligious country in the EU, has a far lower murder rate than America. This trend can also be seen in US states.
2. "So, you hate religious people?"
Nope, not at all! As long as all parties respect one another, it's cool. Maybe someone's belief encourages them to be kind and philanthropic. Maybe it gives them comfort, or a strong community. I'm also not denying that religion has inspired some of the world's most beautiful monuments, architecture and poetry. In any case, I care way more about how you treat fellow humans than I do about your religion. Atheism has been a very fulfilling path for me personally, but I'm not going to force it on others.
As demonstrated by Amelia's article, both atheists and agnostics hear this one. I don't believe God exists. But if you ask me this, I'm probably mad at you. And for the record, my childhood was great and all of the religious people I know personally are swell folks.
4. "All atheists are militant jerks / fedora-clad neckbeards with katanas."
I'll admit, stereotypes are occasionally true. During your time on this Earth, and especially on the Internet, you will see atheists that are genuinely pompous, self-aggrandizing and insufferable. They are a vocal minority, however. Believing all atheists are pretentious, intolerant wads is just as ridiculous as believing all religious people are like the mom character in "Carrie." It just isn't right. In fact, you probably know some very kind atheists -- but you might not know they're atheists. Especially if they're afraid you'll judge them for it.
Stereotypes are destructive, especially if you're trying to have a genuine conversation with someone. Don't assume you have everything about me figured out based on the "atheist" label, and I'll do the same for you.
6. "You can't prove there's no God!"
This is true. However, the burden of proof should not lie on atheists. In other words, proving the non-existence of a such a nebulous thing as a deity is practically impossible. This idea is demonstrated most famously in the analogy of Russell's teapot. (For some sarcastic takes on this idea, check out the Invisible Pink Unicorn and the Flying Spaghetti Monster.)
Whew, this one...okay, so defining your theological beliefs in a word is difficult. It's up to each individual to choose which label summarizes them best in surveys, questions of faith and the like. Atheism has to do with a lack of belief in God, and agnosticism has to do with a lack of knowledge about God. Technically I would be an "agnostic atheist." To clear up some confusion, though, I'll explain what being an atheist actually means:
Atheists don't believe that a deity exists. Belief requires active participation — it means accepting something as true. To self-identified atheists, a lack of active belief (in other words, shrugging your shoulders and saying "it's literally impossible to know") is functionally the same as disbelief. Either you actively believe some sort of deity exists (theist), or you don't (atheist).
In other words, anyone who does not affirm the statement "at least one god exists" qualifies as an atheist.
This one might just blow your mind: there are actually people who identify as atheists and attend some sort of church. Certain liberal religions are totally open to atheist members. I actually grew up attending a church that followed one such amazing religion: Unitarian Universalism.
Unitarian Universalists believe in a "free and responsible search for truth and meaning," and have a simple creed that emphasizes respect, justice and compassion. They are also pro-science and pro-evolution. As of now, there are over one thousand UU churches in the United States. Atheists are welcomed into UU (and similar) churches if they wish, and need not miss out on having a caring congregation of their own.
With that said, you can *not* go to church and still have a happy, fulfilling life.
This ties into the church thing. Atheists can totally be spiritual...in our own way. Learning about Earth and the story of life is a way of feeling connected, both to the universe and to the rest of humanity. Many people experience endless wonder in the face of the stars, biology and philosophy.
If you're genuinely trying to make me feel better after a tragic event, saying this is fine. If you're saying this to me BECAUSE I'm an atheist, you're acting like a condescending jerk.
This statement physically hurts me, and I'm not going to write out several paragraphs trying to explain how evolution works. Moving on.
By the way some people worship Richard Dawkins: maybe. By definition: no, not really.
Probably not. But who can really say? I'm not gonna pretend to know everything there is to know about myself and the Universe at the tender age of eighteen. Either way, it's not anyone's place to tell me whether I'll "come around" or not.
As long as we're hedging our bets, I'd better spend my time sacrificing chickens to ancient Greek gods and worshiping as many different deities as I can -- you know, just in case there's an afterlife. Oh wait...that'd be dumb.
College environments typically lean liberal, so it's easy to forget that atheism carries an actual (though often small when compared to racism, sexism and the like) stigma in the "real world." Consequently, some people never reveal their lack of faith to acquaintances unless directly asked. To people who read this article, the secret's out, though: I am atheist, hear me roar. Many of us are willing to talk about our faith -- that is to say, our lack of it. The most important thing to remember is that "atheist" and "Christian" and "agnostic" encompass a wide spectrum of beliefs that can never be contained in one little word. If you want to learn more, you have to be willing to view people complexly.

Central California is not a generally recognized subdivision of the state, it is just a personal definition I have made to serve the interests of this site. The region that results from this partition is unusually rich in famous places and beautiful scenery. Add to this the fact that I happen to live in this "state" and it is no wonder that I have so many panoramas to illustrate it.
Its northern boundary runs through the Golden Gate and Carquinez Strait, then through the Delta and across the Sierra Nevada between Sonora Pass and Yosemite. Thus, by my definition, San Francisco is in Central California but Marin is in Northern California. The deserts east of the Sierra crest are quite distinct and belong to my "state" of Southern and Eastern California.
The southern boundary follows an old geographic convention and runs from Point Conception along the crest of the Santa Ynez Range just north of Santa Barbara, through the knot of mountains around Tejon Pass, then east along the Tehachapi Range. From there it curves north to follow the Sierra crest all the way to Yosemite.
Most of this region is easily accessible from my home base in the East Bay and I take pictures here year around. Oddly enough, there are some areas very close to home (such as Oakland) for which I still have no panoramas!

Dermalactives Purifying Cleansing Gel Reviews – Should You Trust This Product?Advertising Disclosure ?
What is Dermalactives?
As per the manufacturer,Dermalactives Purifying Cleansing Gel is an alcohol-free face wash and part of the Dermalactives line of skincare products. The Purifying Cleansing Gel is meant to be a first step in the skincare process, as it washes all of the dirt, oil and makeup off your face before applying other products. The manufacturer, Dermalactives, specializes in skincare products and claims that their products go deeper into the skin than similar products because of a special polymer in their formula. You can only officially buy the Purifying Cleansing Gel through Dermalactives own site, where it costs $95, or at special mall kiosks.
What are the Ingredients in Dermalactives?
- Glycerin: May help skin retain moisture while reducing inflammation but also can cause skin irritation to sensitive skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: This keeps the skin hydrated, plump and soft for long. However, it may also result to redness and itching.
- Aloe Vera: It reduce skin inflammation. Additionally, in Ayurvedic medicine, Aloe is used to effectively heal chronic skin problems, such as psoriasis, acne and eczema. Though it may also cause rashes on the skin & itchy skin.
Dermalactives- Does it really work?
Dermalactives Purifying Cleansing Gel is meant to be used daily. Get your face wet with lukewarm water and then put a small amount of the gel on your hands. Move your fingers in circular motions as you move from your neck to your hairline, lathering the product on your skin. If you have any blemishes on your skin, make sure to spend a little extra time rubbing the gel onto those areas. Then rinse everything off with warm water, and dry by patting rather than rubbing.
The Purifying Cleansing Gel is made to soften your skin using Aloe, minerals and fruit extracts, not dry it out as some other cleansing gels do. It is meant to leave your skin feeling invigorated.
Benefits of dermalactives
- Dermalactives is very forthcoming with their ingredient list
- The Purifying Cleansing Gel's ingredients help keep your skin from drying out. However, according to customer reviews, it isn't very effective.
Disadvantages of dermalactives
- Dermalactives doesn't readily supply documentation, such as studies, to support their claims that their products reach deeper into the skin than most.
- You can only buy the product from the official website or select kiosks.
Final verdict: dermalactives
Dermalactives Purifying Cleansing Gel has an official website that provides the ingredient list. The cleanings gel is easy to use and is gentle on sensitive skin. However, the site contains no studies or documentation to prove that it actually does everything the manufacturer claims. Also, there is no clear mention of any Return policy on the official website.
The Purifying Cleansing Gel can only be bought exclusively from the manufacturer, and it is on the expensive side.
There are many cleansing gels available on the market, so be sure to consider all of your options before making a purchase.

IT security on a shoestring budget
Despite constant reports of online security scandal, it's still common for small businesses to operate without even the most basic safety measures in place. One common misconception is that there's no point in trying to secure your network unless you can afford the best security on the market. In reality, even small and inexpensive protection measures can make a big difference for your business.

What else can be said about Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters other than UTTERLY AWESOME. One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen was the Foo Fighters playing at Wembley Stadium – it was breathtaking from start to end.
Dave Grohl made Nirvana, Scream, Queens of the Stone Age and the Foo Fighters famous as well as being a great actor and all around really nice dude.
I saw this image of the band online about six months ago and over the next four months created this pattern in my spare time – five minutes here and ten minutes there.
The past Sunday I realized that it was ready for cutting, so I chose a really nice piece of BB Plywood and got to work.
Overall, the piece measures 10×17 inches.
Finish consists of a decent coating of lemon oil and a backing of thick, black felt.
I didn't make this one with a buyer in mind, nor do I have anyone special in mind to give it to but I'm sure someone will speak up when word gets around that it's finished. :-)
Oct 15, 2012: Quick update – Within a day this one sold. AND I have orders for two more. :-)

Washington D.C. — Representatives of national and state-based consumer groups from across the country delivered a letter to Environmental Protection Agency leadership asking the agency to maintain strong miles-per-gallon and emissions standards for cars, light trucks and SUVs, and asking that states' rights to lead on passenger vehicle emission standards be maintained.
The letter sent today to EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt by the Consumer Federation of America and a large contingency of affiliated consumer groups, points out that "Thirteen states and the District of Columbia, representing 113 million Americans and over one third of the automotive market, have chosen to exercise their right to bring cleaner, more efficient vehicles to their communities. As such, they are currently protected from an imminent decision by your Agency to weaken the standards. However, neighboring states and millions of other hard-working Americans will be saddled with more polluting, less efficient cars, trucks and SUVs that will cost them more at the pump."
The letter forcefully defends states that have exercised their right to adopt their own vehicle emissions standards as well as the freedom for other states to do the same if the need arises. Consumer groups that signed on from potential clean car states include Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Texas and others.
"Clean cars states decided years ago – some decades ago – to deliver cleaner, more fuel efficient cars to their roads," said Jack Gillis, Director of Public Affairs at the Consumer Federation of America and author of The Car Book. "These clean car states are potential laboratories of policy innovation that want the freedom to bring even cleaner, more efficient vehicles to their citizens that cut air pollution and fuel costs."
Despite a voluminous and solid record supporting the standards, an imminent announcement from EPA is expected to lay the groundwork for a rollback of the current standards that cover passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks through model year 2025. In March 2017, President Trump announced that the EPA would consider weakening standards governing the automotive industry.
CFA's latest survey shows that consumers across the country want more fuel-efficient vehicles and support standards that save them money at the pump. Another CFA analysis shows that automakers are achieving the standards and saving consumers money right now.
"American families cannot afford to spend more money at the pump," continued Gillis. "They do not deserve to be saddled with gas-guzzling vehicles that will wreak havoc on their household finances when gas prices inevitably spike again."

I attended a meeting last week down at Cape Henlopen State Park.The meeting was interesting, but I really liked the opportunity to get these photos. I went out to the Cape and walked out to the beach. It was pretty desolate there, but I had a great view of the Light House that's there by the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal. What you can't see in the shots is that I was taking the photos in winds that were gusting up to 40 mph! I like the ones with the killer blue skies best

Another place I wanna visit - the seaside on the upper east coast. Rent a beach house and walk the beaches and light a fire at night and eat seafood until i'm sick. The path picture is an invitation to everyone to experience the seaside. It just beckons one to explore the relaxing beach that lay just over the hill.

Sean Payton issues 'bust' alert on NFL Draft's top QBs
Sean Payton knows something about good quarterbacks. He's worked with Drew Brees for 12 seasons, and the Saints play against a couple of top-notch QBs, Matt Ryan and Cam Newton, twice a year.
So when Payton says he's not impressed with the highly touted crop of quarterbacks expected to go early in the upcoming NFL Draft, his opinion carries some weight. Payton told The MMQB he'd be "a little bit uneasy" if he were picking one of the quarterbacks from the group that includes (in no particular order ) Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield.
"I don't see [Andrew] Luck in this draft, and I don't see Carson Wentz, who I liked a lot coming into the draft," Payton said. "I'd feel a little bit uneasy if I were at the top of this draft and I decided I had to have a quarterback. The pressure to get a quarterback is so great in this league, I get that. But we can't create 'em.
"I wouldn't be surprised if only one of these guys is left standing in four or five years, and if so, I'd guess it would be Sam Darnold."
Various mock drafts have several of those quarterbacks going in the top five, possibly 1-2-3, and all four could go in the top five. Obviously, those teams have done their homework, watched the tapes, talked to each QB and will draw their own conclusion. But again, Payton has a good feel for the passing game and what makes a good quarterback. Only time will prove him right or wrong.

Canada's Super Visa for Senior Parents
Nowadays globally many parents and grandparents are traveling to visit more often to see their children and grandchildren. This trend is great for the families of immigrants keeping them together but in the same time could be an issue for the social system of each country and putting some stress on the government budget.
Canada found a way to avoid this issue a few years ago with the so called "super visa" for seniors. It allows the applicants who doesn't want to become citizens but would like to stay longer with their children in Canada for up to 2 years. This way the Canadian border control allows seniors to visit and stay with their families and in the same time keeps the social system and government budget safe. The applicants for this visa can extend their stay with multiple 2 years visits over a period of 10 years.
There are a number of requirements for the applicants which should be met before the visa is granted. The family of the applicants, the children should provide prove of income to guarantee they are not in financial difficulty. The applicant itself should have private health insurance during the stay in Canada. During the application process the applicant needs to pass a medical exam to prove good health condition. The "super visa" holder is not eligible for welfare or any Canadian government funded seniors home. All those regulations are needed to protect the healthcare and social system and in the same time to allow access for the elder parents to visit their families for longer time without having citizenship. For the five years of the existence of this visa program about 100 000 parents and grand parents have been granted the visa in order to visit, stay and help their relatives.

Model Style
Models with great fashion sense are our muses. Here are some great outfits worn by our favorite chicks.
Ruby Aldridge, goddess of street style
Vogue Paris August 2011 – Escape to LA
There is an insane 65-page pictorial in the August 2011 issue of French Vogue. It's titled "Escape to LA" as the whole thing was shot in Los Angeles. The model cast for the spread is as mind-blowing as it's length, it includes Lara Stone (official current goddess of French Vogue), Arizona Muse, Natasha Poly, Isabeli Fontana, Raquel Zimmermann, and our girl, Freja Beha Erichsen. It was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Each model has her own setting and style, each one different from the others. It's hard to pick a favorite. Instead, I'm posting a shot from each model's pictorial, and maybe a couple more that I just can't bear not posting.

Not All Guides Are Right. . .
We all have guides in our lives. Those guides may be our friends, teachers, boss, relative etc. We usually believe that all guides always have the correct answers. We think, these authority figures, guides or friends seems to have correct information and will always give apt suggestions. This might be just a myth.
|Not All Guides Are Right
Reader, a guide who seems to have 'THE CORRECT ANSWER' to something may be wrong. And even if our intuition tells us that our guide is wrong, we might doubt our intuitions and choose to hold on with the decision and answer of that guide.
This happens a lot in our day to day life, when we approach that guide of our life… in order to seek a certain answer.
We always assume that our guides (to whom we seek advice) is smarter and more informed than us. Did you notice, I said 'We Always ASSUME…'
Yes, this can just be our assumption. And our folly to ignore the voice of our intuitions.
But it is wiser to trust your intuitions. Not all guides are right!!
Have courage to trust your intuitions and follow it. If your intuition is doubting someone's ability to guide you, don't feel afraid to question that someone, who seems to have all the answers.
I hope you got exactly what I am trying to explain. All I want to say is trust your intuitions and don't rely on anyone else for taking the important decisions of your life.

Services work has begun with plumbers and electricians on site. Upgrading the power distribution system has started with the housing in the plant room; this power supply will become the main supply for both sawmill and the new office. The plant room is adjacent to the new boiler house, which is being clad in Scotlarch. Each nail has been hammered in by hand to ensure that the nail head doesn't sit below the surface of the timber; a common occurrence when a nail gun is used. It is a labour intensive job to do this but one which will reap rewards as time goes on as water will not be able to collect in any indentations and cause potential damage.
John Duncan Roofing have been installing the aluminium box guttering and aluminium roofing sheets using stainless steel fixings. Rigi Systems supplied the sheeting - 50/167/833 trapezoidal profile which is 1.2mm thick and, each sheet being 14m long, eliminates the need for any joins which would be potential water traps due to capillary attraction. They also supplied the flat sheets for the flashings which are folded by John Duncan Roofing prior to installation. The aluminium sheeting supplied for the box guttering came from Aalco and this was also folded and welded by John Duncan Roofing both off and on site.

The technique of blackening fish was popularized by Paul Prudhomme in the 1980s, when Cajun cuisine hit the national limelight. This is my Pacific Rim version, and it's been on the menu ever since I opened my first Roy's restaurant in Hawaii in 1988. It's still one of our most popular appetizers.
Ground sandalwood is the powdered root and wood of a large tree native to the Pacific Islands and eastern Asia. It is used for both its red color and its aromatic quality for seasoning. It is available in well-stocked Asian markets or can be ordered direct from Yogi brand in New Orleans, at (504) 486-5538.–Roy Yamaguchi with John Harrisson
Blackened Ahi with Soy-Mustard Sauce
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- For the soy-mustard sauce
- 1/4 cup mustard powder, preferably Colman's
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- For the beurre blanc
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground white pepper
- For the blackening spice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon pure chile powder
- 1/4 tablespoon freshly ground white pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon ground sandalwood (optional)
- For the tuna
- 8 ounces ahi tuna fillet, about 2 inches thick and 5 inches long
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm Beurre Blanc
- For the garnish
- 2 to 3 tablespoons pink pickled ginger
- 1 ounce daikon sprouts
- 1/2 tablespoon black sesame seeds, toasted
- Make the soy-mustard sauce
- 1. Mix the mustard powder and hot water together in a cup to form a paste. Let sit for a few minutes to allow the flavor and heat to develop. Add the vinegar and soy sauce, mix together, and pass through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
- Make the beurre blanc
- 2. Combine the wine, vinegar, lemon juice, and shallot in a heavy stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook to reduce the liquid until it becomes syrupy.
- 3. Add the cream and cook to reduce by half. Decrease the heat to low and gradually add the butter, stirring slowly; do not whisk. Take care not to let the mixture boil, or it will separate. When the butter is incorporated, season with salt and pepper to taste, and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into the top of a double boiler. Keep warm over barely simmering water.
- Make the ahi
- 4. Mix all of the blackening spice ingredients together on a plate. Dredge the ahi in the spice mixture on all sides.
- 5. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat and sear the ahi for 15 to 30 seconds on each side for rare, 1 minute on each side for medium-rare, or to the desired doneness. Remove the ahi and cut into 20 thin slices.
- 6. For each serving, arrange 5 slices of ahi in a fan, pinwheel, or cross shape on the plate. Spoon or drizzle a little of the Soy-Mustard Sauce around the tuna, and then spoon or drizzle the Beurre Blanc around.
- 7. To garnish, arrange a small mound of the pickled ginger next to the fish and top with the daikon sprouts. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the Soy-Mustard Sauce.
Recipe Testers Reviews
The spices on the outside charred lightly and formed a wonderful crust. When I sliced the tuna it looked beautiful, with a lovely deep-red interior. The flavor was spicy, sharp, and went perfectly with the beurre blanc. By the way, the beurre blanc, sometimes a tricky sauce to master, came out great by following the recipe and complemented the sharp tuna steak and pungent mustard sauce. It also remained stable for more than 30 minutes on top of a double broiler, with no curdling. However, like all fresh tuna dishes, this is not a dish for well-done lovers; it has to be rare or the spices will burn and the tuna will dry out and money will be wasted.
Absolutely wonderful. The heat from the mustard sauce, combined with the sweetness and velvety texture of the beurre blanc, just sang with the seared tuna. The only issue with serving this dish is that if guests doesn't like spicy food, then they won't like this dish. I thought it had just the right amount of spice. Loved it.
I thought that this recipe was delicious. The tuna was very flavorful and the sauces complemented each other very well. Though it seemed like there were a lot of steps, they were relatively simple and the dish was easy to prepare. I made the Soy-Mustard Sauce and the blackening spice ahead of time and made the beurre blanc through adding the cream. Just before I blackened the ahi, I finished off the beurre blanc and kept it warm.

Anyone who's visited Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, knows that it's an idyllic city situated on the Susquehanna River. Donald Trump should know that, too, after holding a chaotic rally there in April, and after speaking in nearby Mechanicsburg on Monday night.
But during a speech in Northern Virginia on Tuesday, Trump said Harrisburg "looked like a war zone." He apparently meant that it looked like a war zone from the lofty view from his plane on Monday night, according to The Guardian's Ben Jacobs. Picture the Donald, slicing into a piece of Original Recipe with fork and knife, peering down on Harrisburg with disgust.
It's an odd comment for a couple of reasons. Harrisburg, home to Pennsylvania's capitol building and more than a dozen stately bridges, is a handsome place. Maybe Trump was looking down on somewhere else—though it's safe to say that the Republican Party's presidential nominee should not be dissing any place in Pennsylvania.
The city's director of communications described Trump's comments as "an unfortunate mistake" and called Harrisburg a "capital of unique beauty and charm" in a statement. Yes, the city went so far as to release a statement to defend its good looks.
It's also an odd gaffe—though "gaffe" may not be the word for it, since that would imply a degree of shame on the campaign's part—because Harrisburg really, really likes Trump. He received more votes in Dauphin County during the primary than any candidate on either side of the aisle.
Trump's comment has already been elevated to the status of political football in the state. Katie McGinty, the Democratic candidate for the junior U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania, tweeted that Trump "definitely doesn't know what a warzone looks like"—a barbed riposte, since Trump is taking heat for accepting a Purple Heart offered to him by a veteran.
It's Harrisburg that needs to take Trump's attitude to heart. A deal that broke the city financially mirrors the way that Trump built his empire. Harrisburg is paying a high price for its mistakes. The city ought to see in Trump the same blasé attitude toward debt and deals that led to its own present predicament.
Harrisburg nearly declared bankruptcy in 2011 over the staggering debts it incurred from a botched retrofit of a waste-to-energy recovery facility, usually referred to as an incinerator. That's right: One garbage fire nearly knocked out Harrisburg, and now another one is calling the city ugly.
Instead of bankruptcy, Harrisburg went into a court-ordered state receivership, from which the city emerged two years ago. As The New York Times reports, many in the city still feel that Chapter 9 would have been a better option for Harrisburg. Bankruptcy would have forced bondholders and creditors to take a haircut on the restructured $345 million debt. Harrisburg and Dauphin County residents are instead responsible for the full debt load, which will be paid off primarily through revenue generated by the city's parking garages.
According to The Patriot-News, under the new dispensation, the city's parking garages are more cost efficient. But Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse objects to what he has described as arbitrary changes to the budget for the new parking garage authority. In a letter earlier this year, Mayor Papenfuse said that the authority changed the "waterfall" payments due to Harrisburg—the money left over after expenses and debt-repayment obligations.
"The budget for Harrisburg's parking system this year shortchanges the city by nearly a million dollars, but pays full bonuses, including 5 percent increases, to parking managers," The Patriot-News reports.
Harrisburg is out of state receivership now, but the city is still a distressed municipality. As Mayor Papenfuse told City Journal in 2014, advocates for Chapter 9 were wooed by "magical thinking" that the city could escape its debt obligations. The city has yet to step out of the long shadow cast by former Mayor Stephen Reed, who struck a bad deal with an unscrupulous developer for the incinerator—among many others. Mayor Reed was so profligate about using municipal bonds that he once used public debt to buy $5 million in artifacts, including a pistol once owned by Doc Holliday, for a Wild West museum that never materialized.
"The city's predicament ought to be a warning to other cities that use borrowing to finance projects of questionable economic value. Often, the rationale that politicians give voters for such projects is merely the existence of a gleaming new facility in a competing town," wrote Steven Malanga, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, in 2010, as the specter of bankruptcy still lingered over Harrisburg. "But the true measure of costly developments should be whether they generate economic improvement and fiscal stability over the long term—and judged by that criterion, they often fail, as they have in Harrisburg."
As a developer, Trump has operated on principle that bankruptcy is cost-free. Trump has paid little for his failures: He has folded personal debts into his casinos' bankruptcies while collecting millions in salaries and bonuses. Trump's casinos have suffered from "high debt and lagging revenues," according to The New York Times—problems that have plagued Harrisburg.
Harrisburg doesn't need another leader like Mayor Reed, who pursued unsound investments on the theory that, when all else fails, bankruptcy will wipe the slate clean. Harrisburg surely doesn't need to support a businessman with unscrupulous views about bankruptcy—who, on top of that, also thinks the place is an eyesore.

Policy paper
A new Northern Forest - planting 50 million trees across the North of England
To achieve our vision of a UK rich in native woods and trees, it is vital that government and policymakers understand nature's importance and take action.
Credit: Peter Dench / WTML
We work to influence these groups to secure stronger protection for our valued woods and trees, and to reverse the decline in tree cover by creating better incentives for planting.
We influence government policy in two ways:
We lobby and work with Members of Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, the Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly to promote the value of woods and trees.
We work to influence ministers and officials across a whole range of policy areas from agriculture to transport and the environment to ensure woods and trees are recognised in policy and investment decisions.
We write briefings for debates and parliamentary questions, host events, commission reports, respond to consultations, and even take MPs, MSPs and Assembly members to local woods to help them appreciate what's at stake. And as part of Greener UK coalition, we're lobbying for an environmentally-friendly Brexit too.
To get positive policies for trees and woods included in local plans and strategies, we lobby councillors, mayors and senior officers in district, county and unitary councils and combined authorities. We help deliver on these policies by working with local authorities to plant trees, create woods and better protect existing woods and trees. We also work with parish and town councils to influence policies in their neighbourhood plans.
Our woods and trees can't speak for themselves. Together we can stand up for the environment and safeguard the UK's woodland heritage for our future.Take action now

Fight Fraud with Employee Training
Complete the form below to register for our free webinar
Most companies have ethics and compliance policies in place and those policies usually include training for employees. That training typically includes material about policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment, bribery and excessive gift-giving. But it usually does not teach employees how to recognize signs of fraud and how to report them.
Employee fraud awareness training is one of the most important ways your company can protect itself from fraud which, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, costs the average company five per cent of its revenues every year.
Join Peter Goldmann, President of FraudAware LLC as he outlines a strategy for ensuring everyone in your organization has the knowledge and tools to detect, report and prevent fraud.
Webinar attendees will learn:
- Why you should train your employees to recognize signs of suspected or actual fraud
- Who in your work force should be trained
- How to train them (classroom, e-learning, e-mail notifications, etc.)
- How to set up and manage a fraud hotline/tip-line
- What content to cover in employee fraud training
- Who should do the training

The Borderway UK Dairy Expo has reinforced its reputation as a leading spring showcase for the industry.
In its fourth year, the Harrison & Hetherington-hosted event, held at Borderway Exhibition Centre in Carlisle, attracted 400 livestock entries and in the region of 7,000 visitors.
Breeders travelled to the expo from across the UK to showcase the cream of dairy cattle to a team of internationally renowned judges.
Developments in the industry were likewise shared across 135 trade stands, many focussed on the future-proofing of the dairy sector.
Taking the 2015 Borderway UK Dairy Expo Champion of Champions prize - and chosen from the from the seven breeds competing in the event - was Holstein champion, Richard Bown's Richaven Goldwyn Squaw 6.
Announcing the result, judge Hank Van Exel said: "The quality of the entries in the Holstein show is truly exceptional.
"The UK dairy farmers are excelling at breeding outstanding milking cows; I am delighted with the standard presented and applaud them.
"Choosing the champion was a very difficult task, as those in the final line up were all worthy of this award.
"However, throughout the day, each time it came into the show ring, Richaven Goldwyn Squaw 6 just got better and better."
Mr Bown, who also enjoyed success in the Ayrshires section, said: "I have been showing dairy cattle for the last 26 years.
"This is the first time I have received a major double award and to receive the championship also – this really is the best ever day of my life.
"Our herd motto is seeing is believing - what more can I say?"
UK Borderway Dairy Expo is a high profile event in the dairy sector showcase calendar, powerfully reflected in the quality of the world-class judges present this year, including Barclay Phoenix of Greenbank, Ontario, Canada, who presided over the coloured breeds section.
The show also welcomed around 50 dairy farmers from across Northern Ireland.
In the Dairy Youth Showmanship section, Will Horsley from Penrith took the top spot, showing Woodcatt Explore Irene, a February-born heifer calf.
The heifer junior champions, meanwhile, were Sandyford LR Bunty from A Rimmer in the Ayshire section; Eire Gammon Maime J from A Holliday and S Wake in the Jersey section; Riverdane Barbwire Advantageous Red, from Riverdane Holsteins, in the Red & Whites; Shaunlea Geri 6th, from Shaun Dixon, in the Shorthorns; Kedar Alaska from T Lochhead & Sons, in the Brown Swiss section; and Holmland Atwood Marie, from B Yates, in the Holsteins.
In the breed championships, Andrew and Jane Whittaker, of Shrewsbury, took the top spot in the Red & White class, with daughter Steph and partner James Doherty winning in the Jersey section with Bluegrass Vindications Harp.
Taking both the champion and reserve honours in the Brown Swiss section were Robert and Sheila McColm, of Wigtownshire, with Soulseat Jublend Beatrice.
Dairy Shorthorn champion was a Marleycote-bred cow, Marleycote Princess Jill 31, now owned by the McLean family from Northern Ireland, while Richard Bown - on top of winning the Holstein sector - took top place in the Ayrshires with Loukat Lucky.
British Friesian breed champion, meanwhile, was Adam Lawson's Lismulligan Priscilla 41, while the 2015 John Dennison Lifetime Award was presented to Northern Irish farmer Sammy McCormick in recognition of his outstanding contributions to dairy breeding and exhibiting.
Harrison & Hetherington operations director David Pritchard, who organised the event, said: "This has been an absolutely tremendous event and the feedback from all of the sponsors, trade stands and exhibitors is that in the very short time since its inception the Borderway UK Dairy Expo has become a resounding success.
"It is well known that there have been many factors currently affecting the dairy industry, but we all feel that the success of today demonstrates that our dairy farmers, breeders and associated businesses have tremendous expertise and very solid foundations to ensure its future longevity."
Dairy Expo 2015 was supported by seven mainline sponsors: Holstein UK, CIS, Clydesdale Bank, Norbrook, Farmers Guardian, Carrs Billington and Pickstock Telford.
