Lord Sri Krishna says, 'My dear Arjuna, there are different classes of men. One class of men, they are sleeping. And another class of men, they are awake. They are not sleeping.' And how is this so? This chanting, which we have performed just now, is the wakening process for the sleeping soul."
Whatever Happened to the Revolution? (Editorial)
(October 22, 2015):
"For many of us who came of age in the Sixties and Seventies, the counterculture and its promise of an alternative society based on love and peace was an important part of our lives. Art, music, poetry, philosophy, ecology and human rights were just a few of the buzzwords floating around the collective psyche of the Sixties generation. Revolution was in the air."
Deities #730
Sri Gopinatha, Radhadesh, Belgium (October 22, 2015):
The sound of Krishna's flute always resides within the ears of the
and increases their ecstacy. When it is heard, no other sound can enter their ears, and amongst their family they are not able to reply to questions properly, for all these beautiful sounds are vibrating in their ears

Remembering #177
Like a swan floating on the water
(October 22, 2015):
He was moving smoothly like a swan or other water bird floating on the water. That was my first glimpse of him. At that time actually I saw he was effulgent, and that was the first time I'd ever seen any effulgence like that. It was real, and I hadn't had any vision like that in dreams or any religious experiences like that. It was as real as I see this door."
Photo Album #933
Beautiful lotus-like Lord Krishna (October 21, 2015):
My respectful obeisances are unto You, O Lord, whose abdomen is marked with a depression like a lotus flower, who are always decorated with garlands of lotus flowers, whose glance is as cool as the lotus and whose feet are engraved with lotuses
Deities #729
Beautiful Radharani, Radhadesh, Belgium (October 21, 2015):

The League of Devotees (Prospectus)
May 16, 1953
(October 21, 2015):
The human being in general has forgotten his real purpose of life, being too much attracted by the External Energy of the Absolute Truth and as such he is enamoured with beauty of material Nature without any consideration of his spiritual identity
Chrissie Hynde: No Longer Just a Pretender (Editorial)
(October 20, 2015):
Chrissie Hynde, lead singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist of the legendary rock group The Pretenders, has just published her memoir entitled 'Reckless: My Life as a Pretender.' In her book, Ms. Hynde writes candidly about her 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll' lifestyle. Despite so much excess in her youth, Chrissie Hynde has gone from reckless to Krishna conscious
Deities #728
Sri Gopinatha, Radhadesh, Belgium
(October 19, 2015):
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is Shyamasundara, Krishna Himself with inconceivable innumerable attributes, whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love
Photo Album #932
The pure devotee's compassion (October 19, 2015):
My Lord, my heart breaks to see the sufferings of all conditioned souls; therefore I request You to transfer the
of their sinful lives upon my head. My dear Lord, let me suffer perpetually in a hellish condition, accepting all the sinful reactions of all living entities. Please finish their diseased material life."
Remembering #176
We will solve all your problems
(October 19, 2015):
So as I was kind of walking backwards towards the door, I told him that 'I'm not quite ready' in a very halting manner. As I was going out the door, Srila Prabhupada had his hand on the doorframe, and I distinctly remember he had a tear coming out of his eyes and he said, 'Please come back,' just like that."
Deities #727
Srimati Radharani, Radhadesh, Belgium
(October 18, 2015):
Srimati Radharani is as fully spiritual as Krishna. No one should consider Her to be material. She is definitely not like the conditioned souls, who have mental bodies, gross and subtle, covered by material senses. She is all-spiritual, and both Her body and mind are of the same spiritual embodiment
Photo Album #931
o separate endeavor is required
(October 18, 2015):
As fog is vanquished at the first glimpse of sunlight, one's sinful reactions are automatically vanquished as soon as one begins serving a pure devotee; no separate endeavor is required
Remembering #175
Prabhupada was touching our heart
(October 18, 2015):
Srila Prabhupada was so personal in his dealings with the devotees, and that was one aspect that was so attractive to people in the early days of the Krishna consciousness movement. You see how Srila Prabhupada, he always relished reciprocating love with his devotees."
Deities #726
Sri Gopinatha, Radhadesh, Belgium
(October 17, 2015):
The question raised here is whether or not a person afflicted by material desires is fit to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The answer is that everyone is fit to worship Him."
Photo Album #930
The direct help of the Lord Himself (October 17, 2015):
The Lord is seated in the heart of all living beings, and thus, He knows very well the movements of all individual persons. As soon as the Lord finds that a particular soul is very eager to go back to Godhead, the Lord at once sends His bona fide representative
In Memoriam Tribhuvanatha Prabhu
Chakra.org, 2001 (October 16, 2015):
When Tribhuvanatha Prabhu left this world in October of 2001, some of his closest friends and admirers submitted eulogies to the old Chakra website. These clearly show how much Tribhuvanatha was loved and appreciated by all.
Remembering Tribhuvanatha Prabhu (1952-2001)
(October 16, 2015):
Tribhuvanatha Prabhu passed away on October 16, 2001, at the age of 49. He was an important and beloved disciple of Srila Prabhupada who led by example. He is still an inspiration to devotees everywhere."

Comments (0)
from Steve Lepore of Puck the Media,
Stephen Lepore: The last time the NHL got a big payday from TV networks was in 1994 and 1999. Do you, as a league, feel the NHL is a better television attraction than in those two years.
Bill Daly: Certainly. I think we're valuable content, and hopefully we're in a position to demonstrate that to people. We're hopeful.
SL: The ratings have been very good for the playoffs and the Stanley Cup Final. When can you start negotiating new deals with NBC and VERSUS, and is there a period of exclusivity for them [to negotiate with]?
BD: There are periods of time in which we will explore new deals. I'm not going to get specific with respect to when they are, but what I will say is we're very pleased with our partners at both of those companies. They've done a good job for us and hopefully we've done a good job for them, hopefully. We have no desire to go anywhere else.

Potential pay: Horse Hill exploration probe begins drilling
Magellan Petroleum
Bill Lehane
Josh Lewis
03 September 2014 08:23 GMT
Venture partners revealed on Wednesday that drilling had started on the Horse Hill-1 well in Surrey north of Gatwick Airport.
The well will be drilled to a total depth of 2646 metres and test a number of conventional stacked oil targets in the Jurassic Portland sandstone, Corallian sandstone and Great Oolite limestone formations, as well as a deeper conventional gas target in the Triassic.
The partners also plan to core and log various shale and tight formations in Cretaceous and Jurassic sections of the Weald basin on foot of the recent UK government report suggesting significant shale oil potential in the basin.
"We are very pleased that drilling operations are now underway on this exciting prospect that has both oil and gas targets that have proved to be productive for oil elsewhere in the basin," Solo Oil executive director Neil Ritson said.
UK Oil & Gas Investments (UKOG) chairman David Lenigas said the probe would be "one of the first wells drilled in this part of the Weald Basin to test for the potential for conventional gas in the deeper Triassic formations".
The prospect has been estimated to hold 341 barrels of original oil in place and 234 billion cubic feet of original gas in place, with prospective recoverable resources of 87 million barrels of oil and 164 billion cubic feet of gas.
The Horse Hill area was explored by Esso's Collendean Farm 1 well in 1964 which found "good oil shows" but which seismic re-interpretation suggests was drilled into "the wrong side of a significant fault", the venture said previously.
Angus Energy is the largest shareholder in Horse Hill Developments, which is gaining a 65% share in PEDL 137 in return for fully carrying licence holder Magellan Petroleum, which retains the other 35%.
Angus Energy owns 40% of Horse Hill Development, with smaller stakes held by UKOG (20%), Stellar Resources (10%), Solo Oil (10%), Doriemus (10%), Alba Mineral Resources (5%) and Regency Mines (5%).

We are traveling with a large group to Napa Valley during the middle of October - we hear it will be like "Disneyland crazy" at that time.
We are thinking of 1 day in Sonoma, 1 day in Yountville/Oakville and 1 day in Calistoga visiting wineries - because of the time we will be there, we're told we need reservations but don't want to tie ourselves down to a tight schedule - looking for suggestions for 2 wineries in each of these areas and restaurants. We will be staying in Yountville and flying into San Fransisco.

Napa Valley Help
We are traveling with a large group to Napa Valley during the middle of October - we hear it will be like "Disneyland crazy" at that time.

gshb: My picks as a 'local' gal:
Town of Sonoma Wine: Gundlach-Bundschu and Ravenswood.Sonoma Eats: Meritage or The Girl & The Fig. Nearby worth seeing: In Glen Ellen-Benziger for the tram tour.
Now to that 'other county' Napa....
Yountville Wine:Niebaum-Coppola and Robert Sinskey (there are many more but you did say two..)
Yountville/St. Helena Eats: Tra Vigne,
Martini House,Terra,or Bistro Jeanty.
Calistoga/North end the Valley: Sterling (aerial tram & Great view) and Clos Pegase (great architecture)
Calistoga Eats:All Seasons Cafe.
Next time come over to the Sonoma side
of things-of course I am biased! You will have a great time here (and I would not live here if it were remotely like 'Disneyland crazy' any month!)
Have fun!
Do you have a limo or van?

gshb -- in Sonoma The General's Daughter or Della Santina would be better choices for a larger group than Girl and Fig or Meritage. Altho G&F is a favorite of mine.

We were in Napa in Aug and were told it can be busy in early to mid-Oct, depending on harvest. The traffic in Sonoma was a little slow through town. We visited Benzinger, which is a little out of town, but well worth the drive. have an excellent tram and wine cave tour. The other one we visited was Sebastiani's, but only for tasting. We were too late for tours. Mondavi's in Napa has a good tour, but Napa was more crowded and less friendly than Sonoma. We also visited the Anderson Valley wineries and this area was uncrowded and the people so pleasant. Best bet - pick up a map at hotel or in town that shows all wineries in Sonoma and Napa. It gives a good description of all the wineries and what they offer.

I was just in St Helena(at Terra) last evening for dinner. We drove up 29 from Napa (having crossed over from Oak Knoll Rd) and I was amazed at how very little traffic there was and how quiet the valley seemed. Razzle Dazzle's suggestions are good ones..I might also add Pine Ridge on The Silverado Trail for good cabs. You will be very close in miles when you stay in Yountville to Calistoga. Look at wineries on the Silverado Trail side of the distance between the two towns. You could do many more wineries that way or add some others to your pared down list. I'd say if you are wanting to eat in some of the more popular places, you might book one or two of them now especially in a large group and then allow yourselves some flexibility. I'd add Bouchon to the list in Yountville. Add The Foothill Grill to your list of places in the Napa area. This is a locals place..small but with good food and half the "attitude". If you are there on a weekend make reservations there as well.

I like all these ideas. If you have some art lovers on the trip, you might suggest a visit to the Di Rosa museum. Wonderful, contemporary Bay Area art. I especially love the outdoor sculpture garden.
