As I uploaded the pictures for this post, I couldn't help but be a little sad that I am not in Paris right now! One of my favorite aspects about being in Paris and being abroad in general is the fact that you basically walk everywhere. I loved just wandering the streets of Paris without any agenda or place to be, because you find something so amazing and different around every corner. One thing I loved doing there was shopping these old arcades, which are basically semi-outdoor corridors filled with shops. This is the sort of thing we don't have here in the United States, so I kind of loved window shopping here.
One thing you will be seeing a lot of in my travel posts is this purse. I bought it especially for this trip, because I wanted to have a fashionable yet secure bag for my travels. One thing I came across again and again in my research for my trip was the fact that pickpockets are numerous across Europe, so it is important to have a bag that can safely store all your valuables. Many people opt for money belts and the like, however, the thought of having to wear something under my clothes sounded like the last thing I wanted to do. This bag was perfect because it fit pretty much my entire life….meaning my camera, an extra lens, a selfie stick, my wallet, my sunglasses, a water bottle, plus whatever else I needed to stow in there at any given moment. I love the fact that it has no outside pockets and the zipper closes everything up. I would've liked to see someone try to pickpocket me with this baby!

One of my favorite sites I visited in Paris was Notre Dame. This gothic cathedral is so beautiful, so believe me, these pictures unfortunately do not do it justice. One thing I found completely fascinating about Notre Dame is the fact that while the construction of this church began in 1163, the church continued to evolve over the years and still undergoes restorations to this day.
Admission to this beautiful church is free, but you can give a donation to the church once inside if you choose. When we got in the line to enter, it seemed super long, but the line really moved quickly.
One thing that completely blew me away about Notre Dame was the huge and incredibly detailed rose stained glass windows. I think I had even more appreciation for them because I conveniently took Art History last semester, so I had recent knowledge of the history and the work that went into these beauties.
I hope you enjoyed my second day in Paris! Make sure to tell me what you think in the comments below!

The Dead Dolls House in Islington is better known as a late night venue cocktail bar and boozy weekend brunches. They have now launched a monthly Bacchanalian Feast, named after the Roman god of wine and debauchery, Bacchus. Hosted on the first Thursday of each month, each four-course menu of food and drink plays on different themes.
My friend and I went along to the Ibiza Feast last Thursday. The one before that was a Filipino BBQ, and the next one in June is a Vegetarian Feast. It's nice that they're varied enough that people will want to go again.
We met outside the beautiful House of Wolf, which is situated on Upper Street. We headed upstairs to the 2nd floor Ballroom, where we were welcomed with a white sangria cocktail. White wine, calvados, elderflower, orange juice, topped with soda, made for a refreshing light drink. Two long tables were set up next to each other, the room alit with twinkling fairy lights, a grandiose chandelier, and a mirror ball. It's no surprise this magical fairy-tale space is a popular spot for weddings.
We find our seats and see that we placed next to fellow food bloggers. I welcomed that opportunity as I had opted for a vegetarian option that night, and would be taking notes from their meat-filled feast.
The first course kicked off with a large platter of Squid, Tamarind recado & pineapple salsa, shared between four, it was a generous serving. The squid was tender, and well-seasoned, and the pineapple salsa kept it light and refreshing. My vegetarian option was plate of burrata, atop edamame and pistachio. This was perfection in my books, and I will now be attempting to recreate this dish at home.
The second fish course was brought to our tables with the grandeur of a feast: Jerk Sea Bream and grilled corn, again, served in a large platter that covered our table. My new friends found the seasoning on the fish a tad bit salty, but tasty nonetheless. My vegetarian dish arrived with less fanfare, three artichoke hearts with some sauce (unfortunately our server didn't actually tell me what I was eating). Cooked well, but I was hungry. My friends were feasting…me, not so much.
All the while we were topped up with drinks: options included Alhmabra Reserva beer, cava, wine, Bacchus surely would have been proud. The meat course arrived next, Chichinga: Suya Goat Kebab, served with flatbread and couscous salad. At this point, one of our new blogger friends pointed out the resemblance to a Jamie's Oliver recipe, and after a few clicks on our phone, we were staring at what was pretty much the exact recipe of our meal in front of us (see here: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/game-recipes/chichinga-suya-goat-kebabs/) My vegetarian tacos were a tad over salted, and again, it was fun-guessing game trying to figure out what turned out to be aubergine, but it was tastier than anything I've ever cooked. Staring at my fellow diners feasting away on chunky morsels of goat, I was rather hungry, and probably overcompensated by indulging on wine instead.
The dessert of barbequed peaches with fresh yoghurt and rosemary honey was a nice finish, ending the feast on a lighter note, with a generous serving of Pedro Ximinez sherry. The fact that the chef may have been inspired by Jamie Oliver might have been a problem for some, but I still enjoyed the food. For £60, it's a good deal (maybe not the vegetarian option), you walk away having enjoyed a generous portion of well-cooked food, (nearly) bottomless drinks, and merriment. If I'm looking to celebrate with a small group of friends, I'll definitely be back.

I remember the petitions and the protests against WIPP, the waste isolation pilot plant, in the early nineties in New Mexico.
WIPP is an underground storage facility for nuclear waste outside of Carlsbad, New Mexico, that as of mid February is reportedly undergoing a significant "incident" which is being opaquely covered by very few media sources. Originally, the federal government stated that there was no release of radioactive materials, however, there have been information leaks which suggest that plutonium-contaminated air was released in large quantities and that ongoing radiation is being blown into surrounding areas.
Because the radiation levels are so high at the site, no one has been able to actually go to the spill area to see what and how much has been released. There is also no real information about what exactly is happening underground.
Because there are a variety of radioactive materials at the site, including tools, rags, etcetera, there is some concern that due to a process known as "radiolysis", the leaking radiation could cause further issues. If those materials break down and mix together they could spontaneously combust in a gigantic explosion. If that were to happen, everything within a one hundred mile radius (perhaps farther reaching depending on the winds) would be in grave danger.
Like most other controversial issues facing us today, it is rather difficult to find facts. There are many indications of government cover-ups and of fanatical suppositions. It seems that, like Fukushima, the immediate news has been an attempt to underplay the gravity of the situation. It also seems that as the reality becomes grimmer, there are continued attempts to release as little information as possible without setting off any alarms. As more people are becoming aware, however, there will have to be some kind of official statement that will answer some basic questions. Like Fukushima, by the time we, the people, know what's really going on, it might be too far after the fact to attempt acts of personal safety.
It's worth paying attention to globally, as we have found out from Japan's disaster. Perhaps international inquiry would support local concerns and help to push for truth. This kind of contamination infiltrates our air, our waters and our sense of fear. This 'New Mexi-Shima' looks like one more failure of the nuclear age.

Delivering precision coaching using genomic technologies.
We are at the edge of another technological revolution. With the advent of a next generation of genomic and biological technologies we are discovering more and more about what it is to be a healthy and fit human. This new information, which can be used to understand what may be right for an individual athlete's physiology and behaviour, can be utilised to create a more precise program to achieve that athlete's goals.
This talk introduces the opportunities and limitations that access to the new wave of biological data may provide for coaches and athletes. It will detail contemporary methods that can help coaches make more informed decisions around the structuring of an athlete's diet and training. Finally, it will predict how future advances in these technologies could rapidly transform training and nutrition as we know it.

Washington - Senior Republicans urged congressman Todd Akin on Monday to quit the US Senate race in Missouri over his inflammatory remarks about rape that distracted from the party's nomination next week of Mitt Romney for US president.Akin was widely criticised for saying in a television interview on Sunday that women have biological defences to prevent pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape", making legal abortion unnecessary.As pressure built on Akin, Republicans cut off cash for his campaign, which had looked like a relatively easy victory against Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill.President Barack Obama called Akin's remarks offensive in a rare appearance in the White House briefing room, compounding the Republicans' discomfort.The furore pushed the campaign debate squarely onto social issues and away from jobs, which Romney has tried to keep at the centre of his bid to win the 6 November presidential election.Akin's remarks complicated Republican efforts to capture the four Democratic seats they need ensure a majority in the 100-member Senate.'What's best'US Senator John Cornyn, chairperson of the influential committee that raises money for Republican Senate candidates, called Akin's comments "indefensible".The committee will withhold $5m in planned spending on TV advertising in Missouri if Akin does not step aside, a committee official said."I recognise that this is a difficult time for him, but over the next 24 hours, congressman Akin should carefully consider what is best for him, his family, the Republican Party, and the values that he cares about and has fought for throughout his career in public service," Cornyn said.Reince Priebus, the Republican Party's national chairperson, was asked on CNN whether Akin should drop out of the Senate race. "If it was me, I would step aside and let someone else run for that office," he said. Priebus condemned Akin for a "bizarre statement" that is "biologically stupid", and said he would prefer that Akin not attend the Republican National Convention.Democrats used the Akin remarks as evidence that Republicans are waging a "war on women", largely over birth control.'Tough question'"Rape is rape," Obama said. Akin's comments underscore "why we shouldn't have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making health care decisions on behalf of women", he said.Akin, a Tea Party-backed conservative who opposes abortion, said in the interview that the need for abortions in the case of rape was "a particularly tough ethical question"."It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that is really rare," Akin said of pregnancy caused by rape. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Akin said.Romney, who polls show trails Obama with women voters, called Akin's comments "insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly wrong" in an interview with the National Review online.The controversy took the spotlight away from Republican Party preparations for the coronation of Romney as its nominee at the national convention next week in Tampa.The firestorm over Akin's remarks erupted as another Republican lawmaker, freshman congressman Kevin Yoder, came under fire for swimming naked in Israel's Sea of Galilee during an August 2011 trip with other members of Congress. Both events featured prominently on the national television news broadcasts.No-showAkin said on Monday he misspoke. He apologised but said he had no plans to drop out of the Senate race."The good people of Missouri nominated me and I'm not a quitter. My belief is we're going to take this one forward, and by the grace of God, we're going to win this race," he told The Mike Huckabee Show, a radio programme hosted by the former Arkansas governor, a favourite of religious conservatives.Akin was a no-show on CNN's "Piers Morgan" prime-time programme on Monday night. The host said media consultant Rex Elsass accepted an invitation for Akin to appear, then cancelled at the last minute."We had his opponent, Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, booked earlier, and she cancelled," said Morgan. "And then we booked congressman Akin to tell his story himself ... now we have an empty chair.""Why he would say yes and then no, we can only speculate," he added.Tuesday deadlineAmerican Crossroads, a pro-Republican outside funding group linked to strategist Karl Rove, said it was pulling its advertising from the Missouri race. The group said it has already spent $5.4m in Missouri.Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the US Senate, also said Akin should consider leaving the race.Akin has until Tuesday evening to withdraw without a court order, or until 25 September if he produces a court order to take his name off the ballot.If he did step aside, the Missouri Republican committee would nominate a new candidate to run for the Senate. That candidate would not have to be one of his two primary opponents.Besides distancing itself from Akin, Romney's campaign said a Romney administration would not oppose abortion in case of rape. That would be a departure from the position of his vice presidential pick, US Representative Paul Ryan, who has proposed legislation that would outlaw abortion with no exception for rape.Hard-fought primaryRyan co-sponsored a bill with Akin in the House of Representatives that would have changed the legal definition of rape to "forcible rape" to narrow access to federal funding for abortions. Critics said the measure could exempt victims of statutory rape.McCaskill is one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats in a state that has shifted to the right since she was elected in 2006. Recent polls had shown Akin with a 10-point lead over her.Akin, a six-term congressman from the St Louis suburbs, won the Republican nomination to oppose McCaskill just two weeks ago after a hard-fought three-way primary race.
The intelligence, integrity and probity of the people seeking public office in the USA is at an all time low. That anyone as stupid as this twit could have been voted into office in the USA explains the George Bush, Sarah Palin phenomena.
"The whole problem with this world is that fools and fanatics are alway so certain of themselves, but the wiser people so full of doubts."
What a jerk! With attitudes like that I fear for the USA especially women who, it would seem, are not allowed to be in control of their own bodies. Whether you like Hilary Clinton or not, she made a large impact on women's issues, just to see them all disappear thanks to these idiots. And they call themselves a democracy, I think NOT!!
Yes this one person is a jerk, but your comment seems to be venting. Are you okay?
@Tony. Venting? Nope, just can't stand people like Akin, they're dangerous. They espouse freedom but it would seem only on their terms or in line with their own beliefs. It's partly this narrow minded and bigoted way of thinking that's landed the world in this mess.
@ delish - you are quite right! Google it if you want, there is a whole campaign about GOP's "War on Women" in the US. Btw, GOP stands for "good old party" i.e. the Republicans.
Lanfear, it's "Grand Old Party".
But as Shakespeare said, "What's in a name? The GOP by any other name still stinks."
@ stirrer - thanks, good/grand, what's in a name? lol They are still a bunch of twats though.
He should name the doctors who told him pregnancy resulting from rape is rare! Who are they?

He's sprung back into the reckoning with Sooraj Barjatya's surprise hit Vivah that's taken him into worlds that he did not even know existed. Still, Shahid Kapoor's in no hurry to return to the studios. Picky and choosy even when it comes to endorsements, he's created a quality control for himself.
And as he patiently waits for the "right" films to come along, he's making plans for his birthday and Valentine's Day
Vivah has gone from strength to strength and as it races towards a 100-day run what are the thoughts uppermost in the mind of Sooraj Barjatya's newest Prem considering you were always pretty confident that it would be a turning point in your career?
Vivah was an honest film and everyone who was a part of it, led by Soorajji himself, worked really hard. Soorajji is a director who creates a world of his own and it's important for him that every actor is comfortable in that space. He will go to any lengths from spending two hours on a shot to explaining individually to 20 actors on the set, what happened before and what will come next so they can "live" the moment. I was very sure such sincerity would not go unacknowledged.
Not many shared your optimism though
Yeah, soon after the promos went on air I was deluged with complaints about how the visuals were too simple and the music not contemporary. After its release several critics panned it as "regressive" but the audience's reaction has proved that Vivah is not the look or the music score that decides whether a film is progressive or regressive. Maybe Vivah did not boast of the obvious trappings of glamour like expensive locations and extravagant sets but in the end it is the story and the performances that hold you...The message that remains with you. The last 20 minutes elevated this simple film. On Soorajji's instructions I'd made a deliberate effort to play down Prem and so his momentous decision to marry a girl who's gone through a major mishap that has left her physically scarred, comes as not just a surprise to the viewer but also makes a bigger impact given his youth, his quiet, introverted nature and lack of worldly experience. At a time when life is becoming increasingly frivolous, Vivah, returning us to our culture and reminding us of the need for commitment in a relationship, has struck a chord.
After Vivah your fan-mail must have doubled...Tripled...
(Smiling) I now have a new set of fans. Earlier, my films worked in metros, multiplexes and with youngsters. Vivah's helped me reach out to families. While I was on a promotional tour with Soorajji, in the course of many telephonic conversations I had older ladies fondly reminiscing about their courtship days with me. Even my driver recalled how soon after his rishta had been fixed by his parents, he had quietly called his fiancee to the terrace so they could spend some time together, alone. Vivah's taken me to places whose names come as a surprise when I read them in the trade magazines, because I did not know they even existed. Soorajji has a very loyal fan following, especially in small towns where people still live in joint families and are very proud, even protective, of the values projected in his films. Vivah is the kind of film they want him to make because it strengthens their conviction in how life should be lived.
Has Vivah changed your definition of love?
May be not the definition but it's certainly made me realise the seriousness of intent...the commitment...that comes along with the feeling. Soorajji's films highlight those small moments that make a relationship beautiful. I've realised too that it's not the big things that make a difference but the little touches that make love precious.
So what plans have you made for Valentine's Day?
(Laughing) Honestly, none, yet. Valentine's Day is a beautiful concept but you don't have to wait for February 14 to celebrate. When you are in love everyday is Valentine's Day.
But you have made plans for your birthday?
Well yes, it will be a family occasion in Bangkok. Kareena and I were there earlier together and we had a good time.
You're not going back to see the Golden Buddha or the Emerald Buddha or...
No, that's not why we're going back. We can only take four days off and since Bangkok is close by it seemed a good choice. (With a grin) It was pretty much Kareena's decision and frankly I think it's the cheap shopping that's the big attraction.
It's been 13 weeks since Vivah hit the theares and you're still chilling out at home. What are you holding out for-banners, solo hero projects, big bucks...
(Shaking his head) Only good scripts...Good roles...In the last four years I've been fortunate to have worked with makers like John Matthew Mathan, Abbas-Mustan, Priyadarshan and Sooraj R.Barjatya. They've made me realise that only I can create a quality-control for myself. When you work around-the-clock you get used to working as opposed to doing the kind of work that you want to do. I'm dying to get back to the studios. I'm happiest when on the sets. But I don't want to go back just for the heck of shooting. It should be a film worth doing.
Like Aziz Mirza's next?
I've always loved Aziz uncle's films and this one is a cute combination of romance and comedy. It's a young, feel-good love story in the genre of Ishq Vishk and I'm very happy with the character I'm playing. There's an element of novelty in the script which is very important today. If you review the films that worked last year you'll see that all of them had a certain refreshing freshness...
One of them was Vivah that fetched you a Screen Award nomination in the Best Actor category. Are you disappointed that you lost out on the coveted award for the second year running?
I bagged the Best Debut Award, didn't I? And I'm only 25. I'm sure there will be many more opportunities to come up with performances that merit the honour. It's enough for now that my name features in the elite list with actors I've grown up watching, some since I was in school.
So you weren't nervous on the night of January 6?
Not for myself, because I wasn't expecting to win. But I was praying for Kareena because Omkara was a special film for her and I knew how much she had put into the performance. It's not easy for an actor from whom you've come to expect glamour, to do away with all the usual support systems like huge sets, a hip wardrobe and perfect make-up, and play a character like Dolly with so much conviction. It's the kind of challenge actors who are past their prime and nearing retirement take up, but Kareena's still in the thick of things and has been experimenting with such off-beat roles be it Refugee, Yuva or Chameli since the beginning of her career. She's a clean-hearted, emotional girl who's very passionate about her work and an actor of high calibre. Unfortunately, she's had few roles that have exploited her potential. In the circumstances, Omkara was a milestone.
So you thought she stood a good chance of bagging the Best Actor (Female) Award?
I believe a Best Actor performance should be rated on quality rather than commercial standing and unlike other award functions, Screen has always ranked performance over popularity. So yes, I was confident she stood a chance at the Screen Awards.
There's talk of Sanjay Dutt and Sanjay Gupta wanting to remake Chashme-Buddor with you and Kareena?
Yes, we were approached. I think they're working on the script now before getting back to us again.
Are there any other films in the pipeline?
There are a few films I'm zeroing in on but till I've signed the dotted line it would be presumptious to talk of them.
What about TV? Your father Pankaj Kapur is returning in and as Karamchand.
I'm always game for experimenting. I have age on my side so I'd like to attempt anything and everything, from love stories to family dramas, from musicals to negative roles, then leave it to the people to decide what they like to see me in. If there's something on TV that suits me, that I can carry off well, why not?
So can we hope to see you on KBC's Hot Seat?
I don't know, I'm not too good with quiz shows. If the questions are related to cinema may be I could answer a few but my knowledge in other areas is somewhat limited. But I've enjoyed watching the first and second episodes of the new KBC with Shah Rukh Khan as the anchor.
Kareena and you have had Koffee...with Karan recently.
Yeah, and I appreciated the fact that Karan was really thoughtful, not asking me questions that would have made me uncomfortable. He's a very dear friend of Kareena and I've been meeting him often at social occasions and for quiet dinners. Koffee With Karan was like an informal chat. There's so much of affection between Karan and Kareena that it was nice just sitting there and listening in.
One can understand you waiting for the right film to come along but in the interim one would have expected you to do more shows and grab some ads, thereby making a quick buck?
I'm open to shows but I'm being picky-choosy about endorsements. I am 25 and I want to be around for the next 15 years. I believe that if an actor is seen everyday on TV why would people spend good money to go watch him on the big screen? It's important that you maintain some amount of exclusivity. (With a grin) Of course, there are several bigger stars out there who have proved this theory wrong. You see them everywhere, everyday, and still want more of them.

Hi all
This is the culmination of a significant amount of effort and a long time in the making, but I am extremely proud that Seven Sigma, the company that I am a co-founder and partner of, is now officially recognised as the first CogNexus Institute "Designated Partner" in the world. I first came across the unique work of Jeff Conklin and CogNexus some time ago and it has changed forever the way that I and my Seven Sigma colleagues approach all of our client engagements. We have been using the CogNexus philosophy, teachings and methods for complex problem solving ever since and are now uniquely qualified in this craft – not only in Australia but much of the world.
This goes way beyond our original SharePoint competencies (and believe me, we are not too shabby at SharePoint!). We are regularly called upon to practice the craft of Issue and Dialogue Mapping outside of the traditional IT discipline, assisting clients to make sense of complex or wicked problems confronting them. Whether we are helping a group of stakeholders to decide issues of transport and road infrastructure, helping a board of directors determine their corporate strategy, or simply righting the ship of a SharePoint or IT project gone haywire, we have proven our competency in this craft. Hence, our skills are now formally recognised.
If you are wondering what this is all about, then it is best to to read my current "One Best Practice" series of articles found here.
Does it work? Well, our clients seem to think so. Check out this quote from the ICT Manager of the Royal Flying Doctors of Western Australia
I can confirm that I have dealt with and are currently dealing with Seven Sigma Pty Ltd for our SharePoint implementation project. During the setup phase of our project we interviewed several SharePoint focused companies and found Seven Sigma to be above the rest with their overall knowledge of SharePoint and its underlying technologies. Their approach and methodology to our project has been unique and refreshing and has been enthusiastically accepted by our project team and end-users. It is evident that their ability to map the underlying processes and clearly decipher these during the project kick-off will be a key success factor to our project. Their work to date has been a major factor in empowering our users which will directly assist in our intranet project becoming successful.
I can confidently recommend Seven Sigma Pty Ltd as a solid and reliable SharePoint supplier, and experts in their field.

First, I fell in love with the name … Peri-Peri. It's pretttty fun to say, especially after a glass or two of the Mediterranean Sangria! And then I fell for their craveable sauces, chicken and innovative sides when I first stumbled upon Nando's Peri-Peri on Randolph St. The concept is unique and cleverly executed, from the artsy, vibrant ambiance to the ease of ordering and the speed in which the food arrives. Nando's is casual enough for a weekday lunch spot, but also appeals to brunch goers and a hungry dinner crowd.
When I saw a location was opening in Streeterville, my taste buds did a happy dance. The sleepy Chicago neighborhood could definitely do with a few more great spots for informal dining.
About two weeks after they opened, in the mail arrived "two tickets to Peri-dise!" inviting neighbors to come in and try an entree plus side dish and drink on the house.
So, after a super satisfying brunch at the location in the West Loop last weekend, I set out to explore the new Nando's, and here's what I found …
Both locations have the same killer menu and upbeat, colorful decor—though the Randolph address wins the atmosphere award hands down for their cool-kid outdoor patio in back. The interior design firm #nailedit.
Upon arrival, you're greeted by a friendly Nando's team member, who offers to show you the ropes. Basically they give you a menu, table number and then you order at the counter before sitting down.
ABOUT THE FOOD: From my experience, and especially if you're a Nando's newbie, stick to a chicken option + 1 or 2 sides. Whether thighs, breasts or grilled wings are your jam, the chicken is the bomb.com and so are all the sizzling sauces you can douse it in at your leisure. And the SIDES! Nando's has made the conscious decision to elevate their sides to rockstar status with uber fresh ingredients and creative recipes like the Macho Peas (pictured above)—whole peas haphazardly mashed with mint, parsley and chili. My paleo peeps will LOVE these. They also offer seasonal "get 'em while they last" sides like the not to sweet, not too tangy, but just right cucumber poppy seed pickled onion salad and the butternut squash with grilled corn, red onion, dried cranberries, cilantro and of course, chili. #YUM.
So, partly because I wanted to FLIRT with a new dish and mainly because I had a dinner to attend 2 hours later, when I arrived at Nando's Streeterville, I decided to try the Shredded Peri-Peri Chicken and Baby Kale salad with crispy chickpeas, olives and cherry toms in a yogurt dressing. Sadly, NOT THE MOVE and here's why:
#1) The mixed greens and romaine (I couldn't find much baby kale) just weren't that fresh. The large bed of lettuce was littered with wilted pieces and yup, even a few brown edges on the romaine. For me, a good salad journey must start with crisp, fresh lettuce and I was kind of shocked because their sides are usually SO FRESH.
#2) This message goes out to all casual dining restaurants everywhere, because it's a common mistake, that's SO SIMPLE to correct. Chop and toss your salads! It's doesn't have to be with dressing (I typically prefer mine on the side) but, when you chop and toss all the ingredients together, you help the ingredients at the salad party SOCIALIZE and ensure your guest gets a flavorful forkful in every bite! What I got was a massive bed of non-chopped mixed greens – far too large to make eating it a pleasure, with the tomatoes, chickpeas and olives scattered around the edges and the chicken in one pile atop.
PLEASE don't judge Nando's on the salad. I'm not going to. Perhaps they have salads because it's kind of obligatory but don't let them bring the menu down!
COCKTAIL CONVO: Wiki says "Nando's is an international casual dining restaurant chain originating from South Africa, with a Mozambican/Portuguese theme. Founded in 1987, Nando's operates about 1,000 outlets in 30 countries." Learn all about that Peri-Peri sauce here.
DO: Stick to ordering a chicken option + 1 or 2 sides. Whether thighs, breasts or grilled wings are your jam, the potent spicy-tangy flavor is addicting. Make sure to try out their specialty sauces for dousing and dipping. The SIDES have been elevate to rockstar status with uber fresh ingredients and creative recipes like the Macho Peas—whole peas haphazardly mashed with mint, parsley and chili.
DON'T: If you want salad, this might not be the spot. If you order a salad, ask them to toss and chop it for you!
TBD: I haven't tried the Sandwiches, Pitas and Wraps but they look pretty scrumptious from what I've seen so if you've tried them let me know.
DESSERT ALERT: They have a pretty serious dessert menu that includes Bottomless Frozen Yogurt which makes me smile from the inside.
PRIVATE NOTE TO THE OWNER: I'm a salad LOVER and creator of the "social salad." Feel free to get in touch and I'm happy to share a few simple tricks that are sure to prevent future sad salad situations!
Now tell me my fellow foodies, what's your favorite casual place to nosh in Streeterville?

Real talk: people who say "money can't buy happiness" are lying.
Sure, money isn't everything. But even our relationships — friends, family, coworkers —can be helped or hurt by financial situations. No shocker here, but money disagreements account for a large portion of divorces.
Is there any aspect of your life that wouldn't be made easier if money was not a problem?
If so, I want to hear it, comment below! So how does this relate to freedom?
Creating financial freedom liberates your entire life.
I'm serious, think about it. If you planned out your financial actions in such a way that at a certain point you no longer had to worry about a steady income, how would that feel? Freaking fantastic!
- I'm not saying you need to become super rich,
- Or that you'd have to quit working,
- Or that you have to give up fun spending in the now.
What I'm saying is, you wouldn't have to keep working for a paycheck — which is why some people fundamentally hate their jobs but do nothing about. They need the income.
You would have the freedom to do whatever.
You can finally be whatever you want to be "when you grow up" because you aren't dependent on a job:
- Maybe you want to be a firefighter or a teacher but needed a higher income to support a large family.
- Perhaps you want to start a video travel blog with no guaranteed income.
- Maybe you don't want to work.
- Or you want to work, but want the freedom to be picky, rather than taking the first job that comes along.
Financial freedom = freedom of choices.
If you can already pay all the bills without working, what is there left to stress about?
So that leaves us with the how.
Here is the formula to financial freedom that breaks the "normal" work-then-die life scheme:
- Spend far less now so that you can
- Invest early and heavily to
- Turn that into a constant income once you are ready for freedom
Here is just one simplified example of how you could accomplish this (though this isn't necessarily the best path for everyone):
- Invest $1000 a month into a total stock market fund (Not sure how? Keep reading)
- This money will grow, based on historic averages, 9.5% a year over time
- In 15 years, it grows to about $400,000 (you contributed only $180,000)
- Move that money to a less risky, balanced mutual fund (balanced = mix of stocks and bonds — less flutuations and risk with lower earnings)
- This "freedom fund" earns, based on historic averages, 6.5% a year over time
- Withdraw 6.5% a year as income: about $25,000 a year
$25,000 a year. Without working. Can you say DAYUM?
- If 15 years seems too long, find a way to contribute even more. $1,500 a month would get you to the same income in just 12 years.
- If $25,000 seems too low, just keep going a few more years. Waiting 5 more years would get you to almost $46,000 a year.
- If a stock fund seems too risky for you, use a balanced fund. It will only take 3 more years to achieve the same $400,000.
If you're response is: I can't do $1000 a month, my response is: you can if try.
Want to learn more about managing the money you already make and how to get started investing? Check out my new course. For the cost of two burritos you could set yourself up to financial freedom.
Do you want to work for money forever or do you want to create your own freedom? Join me in this extraordinary challenge!

As if the embarrassment from throwing a wildly off-target first pitch at the New York Mets game earlier this week wasn't bad enough, the honor-turned-viral-moment also nearly got 50 Cent in trouble with the law.
"I actually got pulled over by New York City police," he admitted on "Good Morning America" on Friday morning (May 30). "The pulled me over in my car. He pulled me over and I said, 'I got my license,' right, because I was a little nervous. As soon as he pulled me over, I was like, 'What'd I do?' And then, he said, 'You know that pitch was terrible.'"
Luckily, Fif wasn't actually in trouble with the law.
"He didn't give me no ticket, no nothing," he said. "He said, 'Just go ahead, go ahead. I don't wanna mess up your day. I'm just saying, 'cause you made me laugh.'"
Not just you, Mr. Officer. Let's all watch the pitch again. And again.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – The Kansas Highway Patrol is not budging on its tattoo policy for its troopers.
The KHP formed an internal committee earlier this year, consisting of sworn-in and non-sworn personnel to look into the policy.
After getting input from the public as well, Lt. Roger Baughman says they felt it was in their best interest to continue with the policy they have.
"Tattoos cannot be anywhere beyond the shirt sleeve, down through the hands, anywhere in the 'V' of the neckline, all the way up your neck through your head and across your head," said Lt. Baughman
This comes after more than 21,000 people were surveyed, 69-percent who said they weren't bothered by troopers having visible tattoos.
Lt. Baughman says those people also mentioned they were okay with the tattoos, if they weren't considered offensive.
He adds if they had changed the policy it would have been difficult to deem what is offensive or controversial in nature.
"The problem of it is, is what is controversial, that is too hard to make the call in a lot of instances," said Lt. Baughman.
At the beginning of this year when the policy was being talked about, KHP was short about a hundred troopers.
It was one reason KHP says they looked into the policy, thinking it was hurting their recruitment efforts.
However, starting pay for troopers has been bumped up for troopers to $40,000 a year.
Also, under the career progression payment plan for KHP, raises are built-in with the more years they serve.
Lt. Baughman says they believe that has factored into their recruiting efforts being the best they've seen in years.
"This year we actually have more abundance of applicants than we've had in the past, and we have the largest class that we've had in the past," said Lt. Baughman.
Lt. Baughman says they had about 475 applicants in the latest class, 40 to 50 which made it through the recruitment process.
While Lt. Baughman says this is the policy KHP is going with right now, he says it could be revisited at a later date.
Other area law enforcement agencies also have a tattoo policy they follow.
Wichita police say tattoos cannot be visible while on-duty. That includes facial, neck and head tattoos.
Sedgwick County deputies cannot have visible tattoos that may be offensive.
That means tattoos that show nudity, contain racist content, gang affiliations, or any offensive image or words must be covered.
The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office also bans deputies from having body piercings, like tongue and mouth piercings.

Nope, you're not off the hook when you're camping or on vacation… you've still got to take care of your skin! Even if you do not wear makeup while on your trip, it's important to rid your skin of dirt, oil, sweat, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. My routine when I'm camping or at the beach is pretty simple (for me it is!) and quick. Check it out!
Camping Skin Care Routine
1) Makeup Removing Wipes- These are a great way to cleanse your face when you don't have access to running water. If you do have plenty of water, go ahead and pack a normal cleanser. These are also nice to use if you're traveling on a plane. (Pictured: Yes to Coconuts Cleansing Wipes.)
2) Toner- I love this gel formulation, which is perfect for travel. This isn't absolutely a necessity if you can bring a normal cleanser with you, but since I'm using wipes, I'm going to use this toner along side to make sure my skin is fully cleansed. (Pictured: Stemology Cell Rescue Active Gel Toner. Click here for a review!)
3) Moisturizer- I like to bring along an oil. This will work as both a day and night moisturizer for me. In the morning, I top the oil with SPF, which is important if your moisturizer doesn't already contain an SPF. A bonus is that I also use this oil in my hair! The more multi-use products you can take, the more space you'll save! :) (Pictured: Andalou Naturals Oil Control Beauty Balm and Olivia Care Jojoba Oil.)

In March we celebrate National Disability Awareness month, and it truly is a celebration! So much has been accomplished, but there was a time when things were very different for people who have disabilities. There was a time when those with disabilities were left behind to die because they were seen as a burden to our nomadic ancestors. At another time in history disability was viewed as a manifestation of evil and it resulted in persecution. Persecution was eventually replaced in the 1800s by large institutions where people with severe disabilities were held in what were often deplorable conditions. And over the not so distant years we have seen times when people with disabilities were involuntarily sterilized, used as subjects of medical experiments, and refused access to public education.
Things are very different now, but changes in these conditions didn't happen on their own. It took people like Ed Roberts was denied employment services by the State of California and eventually became the director of the very agency that deemed him too disabled to work. It took people like Wade Blank who knew that transportation was a key to living independently in the community, and worked for a national policy of accessible public transportation. It took people like Justin Dart, Liz Savage, and Pat Wright who were instrumental in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. And it took the leadership and courage of others such as Judy Heumann, Max Starkloff, Marca Bristo and a host of others who are too numerous to list here.
We as people who have disabilities, advocates, family members, and friends celebrate this month because there is so much for which to be thankful. But we work together today and speak in a unified voice because there is so much yet to be done. We stand on the shoulders of those who were champions of change and work for that moment in history when pity is replaced with prosperity, when dignity takes the place of discrimination, and when community inclusion becomes the norm over isolation. When that day comes, that is when the celebration will really begin!

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
On Windows 7 (x64 Home Premium), SeventhGate is unable to update the ConfigStore.config file -- I believe it's due to permission issues.
I'm not sure why Windows 7 isn't automatically creating a copy of the file in the AppData folder, but it isn't... so I have to reconfigure SeventhGate each time I start it.
Until the problem is solved you can open seventhgate folder and edit ConfigStore.config then it will start with your settings when you start seventhgate

Dialogues with Silence: Prayers and Drawings
Thomas Merton loved life with the passion of a romantic poet. At the age of twenty-six he chose to become a Trappist monk and began to pursue his ultimate, lifelong passion. From his austere quarters at Our Lady of Gethsemani Abbey in Trappist, Kentucky, Merton worked to change the world and to come closer to his God. The drawings and prayers in this volume are the intimate, beautifully rendered record of that pursuit -- Merton's dialogue with God. The prayers have been gathered from all of Merton's writings -- his books, journals, letters -- and are collected here, along with his largely unknown drawings, for the first time.
In his drawings we see the evolution of Merton's art from purely representational to the more abstract, reflecting his interest in Zen andEastern cultures. It is easy to see that art was in his genes; both of his parents were artists. With each prayer and in every brushstroke, we sensethe depth of Merton's passion as we pause and incline our ear to his voice offering these heartfelt songs to God and to the world. Dialogues with Silenceinvites the reader to enter into that sacred realm of contemplation where we listen in silence and await the divine presence in our lives, where emptiness becomes the juncture for the interchange between the outer and inner worlds, where darkness is transformed into light -- the place where the voice of God is revealed.

SHAFAQNA – Baby Sayed Ali Al-Sayed Qassim Majeed has finished one year and three months without having an ID or citizenship.
Sayed Ali is a victim of the political revenge practiced by the Bahraini authorities against Bahraini citizens. His father was stripped of his citizenship while Sayed Ali was still an embryo, thus he was born without a nationality.

Lottery magic
A strange revelation
The Megamillions lottery grew to a monstrous amount; the hype was growing as well. I watched each day as the numbers leapt higher and higher and knew that I too, would purchase a chance at being richer than rich. There were so many butterflies in my stomach that I was sure that if someone looked closely enough, they'd see them banging around through my shirt, like someone was inside trying to punch their way out.
With that being said, I also noticed something that I've never really experienced before. EVERYONE was in on this and everyone became...well.....nice! Regardless of the fact that each had a one in 176 million chance to win, the fact was that they could in fact win. People dared to dream and dared to share their dream, with perfect strangers. There was a lilt in their step, a song in their voice and a sparkle in their eye. They grinned like the Cheshire cat.
This lottery, whether it was bogus or not, allowed people to envision a different life where money woes do not exist. Let's face it, it's tough out there and for a short while, people relaxed a bit, dreamed a bit, hoped a bit. They let down some of their walls and shared themselves, excited at the prospect of financial bliss. Doors were held open, smiles were given away for free and anxious chatter could be heard anywhere and everywhere. "What's the first thing you're gonna do with all that money?" was the leading question. Visions of retirement, vacations, new homes, new cars, trust funds, donations to loved organizations and so much more, were flitting around the atmosphere like comets on a dark night.
I admit that I enjoyed the ride; it was so easy to become involved in the hype. I enjoyed listening to people's dreams and I enjoyed sharing mine. The excitement was infectious; it spread like wildfire.
Then the bomb dropped. No surprise there. The dawn of Saturday brought the truth to light, that only 3 people won that enormous jackpot. The funny thing is that people weren't really disappointed. They joked about it. I went marketing on Saturday and an employee of the market waved me over. "Hi there, I'm still here" she said with a laugh. "But I had fun daydreaming!" That same general consensus was around all weekend. People really didn't expect to win and grinned like "Denver the guilty dog" when they discovered the winning number didn't match theirs. Tickets were crumbled and tossed into the waste basket without a second look.
That megamillion jackpot didn't change any lives around here, but it changed people's attitudes, at least for a little while. There's a lot of people that don't give credence to "the dreamers", but hey, sometimes dreams do come true. And for those of us with crumbled tickets in our trash, at least we had a good "Calgon" moment! I do say it was worth being carried on the wind for awhile.
I dream of one day earning perhaps becomes reality
I will be thinking of you winning.
However, it would be nice to win also. So lets buy a ticket next time.
I think the most fun about lotteries are the dreams we have planning what we will do. You may find you can do many of those things without winning the lottery. Make a dream list and start planning. Great article.
Howdy moonfairy - Thanks for expressing what so many people feel about "losing" those big lotteries. Fun is fun, right? Very interesting perspective on what many feel but few express.
Gus :-)))
great reflection on some of the positive effects of taking chances...on the lottery or otherwise...and how that can be a unifying factor for people. Very hopeful and inspiring.

in a circle of radius 5 cm, AB and AC arre 2 chords such that AB=AC=6cm. find the length of the chord BC.
- print Print
- list Cite
Consider the triangles OAB and OAC are congruent as AB=AC given to be 6cm and OA icommon OB = OC = 5cm being radius. So angle OAB = OAC......(1)
Drop a perpedicular OD to AB. Then AD = DB = 3 cm as the perpendicular meets the cord at the middle. OD = sqrt (OA^2-OC^2) = sqrt(5^2-3^2) = 4cm.
So Area of OAB = (1/2) AB * OD = (1/2)6*4 = 12 sq cm....(2)
Now AO extended should meet the chord at E and it is middle of the BC as ABC is an isoseles with AB= AC and triangles AEB and and AEC are congruent as AB =AC and AE common, Angle OAB = angle OAC. Therefore triangles being congruent ,angle AEB and angle AEC are perpendicular. Therefore BE is the altitude of the triangle OAB with AO as base.Also this implies BE =EC or AC =2BE
Therefore the area of the triangle OAB = (1/2)AO*BE = (1/2)5*BE = 12 sq cm as arrived in eq (2). Therefore solving for BE, we get:
BE = 12*2/5 = 4.8cm
Therefore BC = 2BE = 2*4.8 cm = 9.6 cm.

FRIDAY NIGHT JAZZ SERIES @ ALVIN & FRIENDS features Chicago Vocal Legend and Grammy Winning Arranger
She's been compared to Dinah Washington with vocals described as soulfully seductive and sumptuous. Classically trained, Tammy McCann is a superlative Chicago-based jazz vocalist who performed with Ray Charles for several years. This show is the first live New York performance featuring her new partnership with Grammy winning composer, arranger and pianist Laurence Hobgood and Steve Williams, drums.
Chicago Tribune jazz writer Howard Reich says "The very thought of a singer of McCann's vocal prowess sharing a stage with a pianist as sensitive and technically accomplished as Hobgood is enough to quicken the pulse of just about any jazz listener.... The McCann-Hobgood collaboration represents an important development for both artists, and for anyone who values jazz musicianship of the highest level."
Alvin & Friends, Zagat rated 26 for food, 26 iqfop for décor and 26 for service, and named by Westchester Magazine as one of the "Best of Westchester"

Go Javier!
You said "THE VOICE" I'm thinking - James Earl Jones - lol
Who is theeeesss Javier? Que?
I love this Show. I think Adam made a mistake taking the girl. He should have kept James. Also think Blake made a huge mistake taking those two mousey girls...he is going to lose bigtime. I think its gonna come down to Nikai and Frenchie.
hhaha. The Voice is a new singing competition show, better than American Idol. Javier is my favorite contestant.
There are four judges/coaches -- Christina Aguilera, Ceelo Green Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
lol....I thought Manster was having auditory hallucinations. Whew, glad it's a tv show!!
Vicci and Javier are my favorites. I'd also buy Xenia's cd- she has no social skills but I love her voice.
Frenchie is pretty darned good too now. I am sooooo darned disappointed in Blake.
I thought either auditory hallucinations or God was talking to someone, ala Bill Cosby.
ROLFL 1l........it's another AI thing ------and you know how that went for me last time? OMG (puts bag over head)
I've been watching, off and on, and there really is alot of talent there. I find myself looking closely to the emcee. To me he sure looks like the FBI dude on The Closer. Maybe a brother or a cousin? DDD
Well for me, its not exactly AI, but its a good show. I tend to like these things. I watch America's Got Talent too. They are just a bit different but fun but nothing will replace AI in my heart....lmao.
On that note, have you guys heard Scotty's song on the radio yet? It is on here constantly and Laurens is too. I heard them both this morning within an hour. Scotty's song is in the top 6 at 6 almost every day here.
LOL JJJ and Step!
Me too. It makes me feel better, knowing that I'm not the only one.
Now, to completely betray my non-with-it-ness, who are Adam Levine and Blake Shelton? And what's a Ceelo Green?
(I've heard of Christina Aguilera -- in my dance classes, some of our dance routines were set to her songs)
Blake Shelton http://www.blakeshelton.com/
Adam Levine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Levine
CeeLo Green http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cee_Lo_Green
Ah. Thanks Suz.
Now I have a frame of reference. I still feel completely out to lunch, but at least I'm OTL on Earth now...
Trinity, the truth is, I'd never heard of Adam or Cee Lo before this show either. You are not alone!
I didnt know who Cee lo was either and I only knew Maroon 5 was a band and had no clue who Adam was...lol. Now I find Adam kinda cute. I loved the original song they did together to start the show.
Adam is a hottie!

I Guess The World's Supposed to End Soon.
Started the week hanging with some homies for some dinner and scotch. Oh, and Hannibal Buress swung by and watched the bulls game with us. He went to college with Tony Trimm and killed some time before a show. Pretty awesome talking to someone that wrote for 30 Rock and SNL. He must know what Tina Fey's hair smells like - I imagine and hope it smells like a gyro sandwich.
While dinner was being prepared, this happened.
That's okay because fresh pasta happened as well and it was well worth the almost 4 hour wait for dinner.
Goose Island came out with a gluten free beer named Sorbet.
And then changed the name to Queen - OA. Tasty fucking beer, gluten free or not. A nice mellow sour with grapefruit notes and a smooth finish. The sorbet board didn't even last 24 hours before I changed it a metal anus with a goose head sticking out.
Fucking hailing hitler with his chode sticking out. Not a good look 63rd street center. You get what you pay for and this shit design looks about a $1.49 worth.
New year's eve with no plans is awesome because you can do whatever you want without being relegated to a bunch of bullshit that always happens only on "NYE." So with no plans and a thirst for randomness, I stopped by the Marriot hotel bar downtown to check out the gay cyclone in the middle of the lobby. I've also used this Marriot's bathroom over 20 times over the years. It's my secret poo spot downtown.
After paying 12 dollars for a Templeton Rye on the rocks, escaped for something a little less ridiculous and relatable.
Nothing spectacular, but they do brew their own beer and if you've ever wanted to date a white person, this IS the place to go.
Dinner time.
Why not treat yo' self sometimes? This may be my new favorite place. Classic French menu, awesome clean decor and a killer drink menu and staff.
Uh, yeah.
FUCK!!! The food was damn good. The pureed potatoes was like eating God's ejaculate. The onion soup fondue was solid, blackened brussel sprouts, and even the simple bib salad tasted complex and delicious. I want to come back here and eat a trough of everything they have.
High on food and dranks, stopped by Beauty Bar for the pre party where nails and hair were being did. It was chill and kinda cool to see a bunch of skin tags on the ceiling.
This is more my speed.
The Chipp Inn off of a side street makes for a great getaway from anything pretentious or hipsterish. It's a tiny awesome bar with cold ass beer, folding chairs and a pool table that makes Asians penises look black. I'm home.
Regardless, I still managed to suck at pool.
Checked out Small Bar on Fullerton where 12 house DJ's were to play for 6 hours. So do the math...six hours of house music should roughly pan out to about 15 songs.
Dear Santa, buy me a phone with a flash. This is where I start to lose memory.
We ended up at Big Star for some reason.
I'm going to assume that I ate food here. Happy New Year everyone!
It was good to see the Abrahim and Larry. They are irreplaceable in my book. I couldn't have asked for a better partner to hang out with for NYE than Dio. And thank all y'all for reading and making me want to actually keep this blog up!

Seagulls seal Dicker deal
Brighton have completed the signing of Stockport midfielder Gary Dicker on loan.
Last Updated: 26/03/09 1:37pm
Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of Stockport County midfielder Gary Dicker on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old Irishman becomes Russell Slade's first signing as Albion boss and will go straight into the squad for Saturday's visit of Tranmere Rover after chairman Dick Knight agreed a loan fee with cash-strapped County.
"Russell was keen to bring him here and we've been able to persuade Stockport and help them a little financially at the same time," said Knight.
Dicker joined Stockport in 2007 from University College Dublin and has made 25 League One appearances for the Hatters this season.

In prior Privacy Perils (dated March 25, 2016, and November 13, 2015) and a client alert (dated February 4, 2015) we warned about the phishing scheme in which an email sender impersonates an actual person, usually a member of company or firm management. The bad actor requests funds be transferred to an account, typically represented to be that of a client or customer which would not seem facially inappropriate. Of course, the account is not that of the client or customer, but one controlled by the phisherman (or phisherwoman). This simplistic scheme has been so widely reported that by now you would think businesses, especially large and sophisticated ones, would be sufficiently educated about and mindful of the risk. Think again. Last week, because the email appeared to come from a top company executive in the German home office, a factory CFO for one of Europe's largest manufacturer of electrical cables and wires fell victim to this scheme and transferred overnight €40 million (~$44.7 million) to a fraudster's account. The shares of the company reportedly fell 5-7 % because of the loss.
Remember, before complying with any email request to transfer money (the company's or your own), always carefully check the email address of the sender before responding (i.e., "@bassberry.com," not "@basberry.com"), and, most importantly, pick up the phone and call the purported sender to confirm the transfer request. A short delay in sending money always beats giving it away.

September 12 -- Oil is essential to our economic and national security because our transportation system runs on it. The danger of this monopoly is that consumers must pay whatever price is charged for gasoline or diesel. The danger to our nation is that our foreign policy and military strategy are hostage to the need to protect oil supplies in the Middle East. The only way out of this box is to give consumers something new — a choice in fuels. >>View Article

Kedarnath Dham Yatra is an auspicious pilgrimage journey for all Hindus and especially for the Shaivites. Kedarnath Dham, the highest among all Shiv Jyotirlingas is a Lord Shiva temple amid the high snow clad ranges of Rudra Himalayas. The Kedarnath Dham falls within Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district. The ambience around the temple is both spiritually & scenically charged. To soak in the divine aura & natural beauty of Kedarnath Dham, set out for a 6 days / 5 nights Kedarnath Dham Yatra with Chardhamtour.in.
Day-1: Delhi-Haridwar (225 kms, approx 6 hrs of drive)
Upon arrival at Delhi railway station/airport, you are greeted by our representative who then leads you to your respective cabs/Volvo bus for an onward journey towards Haridwar. The ancient and holy city of Haridwar is famed enough for its many popular bathing Ghats, the beautiful Ganga Aarti and for being one of the Kumbh Mela destinations. On reaching, you are transferred to the hotel. After rest and freshening up, we set out to view the beautiful and out-and-out heavenly Ganga aarti. The sight of uncountable floating Diyas gleaming brightly against the backdrop of the dark night is indeed an out-of-this-world experience. After enjoying this splendid view to the heart's fill, you return to hotel for dinner and night stay.
Day-2: Haridwar-Guptakashi (194 kms; approx 8 hours of drive)
Next day, post breakfast we hit the road for Guptakashi. This religious town is named Guptakashi or 'Hidden Kashi' because it is here that Lord Shiva hid himself after eluding and evading the Pandavas as per our myths. The chief highlights of the town are Vishwanath temple, Ardhnarishwar temple, Manikarnika Kund, a pellucid pond believed to have been constructed by Lord Vishnu. On reaching Guptakashi you are transferred to hotel for dinner and night stay.
Day-3: Guptakashi-Kedarnath (32kms & 14kms trek)
Next day early morning we proceed towards Gaurikund, an auspicious location according to mythology. Myths declare that this is where Devi Parvati (Gauri) performed penance to get Lord Shiva. Gaurikund serves as the base camp for the rigorous trek to Kedarnath Dham. On reaching Gaurikund, we then start our 14kms of trek towards Kedarnath Dham. Lunch is served en-route. We reach Kedarnath by afternoon. On reaching, you are transferred to hotel for rest and freshening up. Towards the evening, we set out for a Darshan of Kedarnath Ji in his celebrated holy Kedarnath Shrine. Post Darshan, you could even pay your tribute at the Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi situated on the temple's rear side. Back to hotel for dinner and night stay.
Day-4: Kedarnath-Gaurikund-Rudraprayag (90 kms of drive & 14 kms of trek)
Next day, early morning after breakfast we trek back to Gaurikund and head towards Rudraprayag by road. The picturesque locale of Rudraprayag is known for the holy confluence of River Alkananda and River Mandakini. According to myths, Narad took on Rudra avatar at this place after receiving blessings from Lord Shiva. Upon reaching Rudraprayag, you are transferred to hotel for dinner and night stay.
Day-5: Rudraprayag-Rishikesh (135 kms & 5 hrs of drive)
Next day post breakfast, we drive towards Rishikesh, the holy city of meditation, spiritual learning and yoga. Upon reaching Rishikesh, you are transferred to hotel. Evening is left free at your leisure to explore Rishikesh local bazaars. Back to hotel for dinner and night stay.
Day-6: Rishikesh-Delhi (235 kms & 6 hrs of drive)
Post breakfast, we depart for Delhi. Upon reaching Delhi, you are transferred to airport/station where our tour representative bids you adieu. You then proceed for your journey back home with an energized and spiritually enlightened mind.
