You can either be above the energy of your life, and ride it, or you can be below the energy and it rides you. This is where Kundalini Yoga fits in. It teaches you how to ride the energy. – Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga is the fastest growing style of yoga on the planet right now! This yogic science of awareness and happiness provides clarity of mind, moves energy through the body, making you the most radiant version of yourself! – AND it is a really good workout!
Classes consist of dynamic yoga sets called kriyas, the use of sound and vibration through mantras, and breath control called pranayama, as well as meditation and relaxation, all to awaken more Kundalini energy. Essentially making you feel better and happier.
One of the purposes of Kundalini Yoga is for you to experience your own body's capacity to create energy. The Kundalini energy is lying at the base of the spine just waiting to be released. When this happen you feel uplifted, happier, and invincible. Ever been in love? When you are in love you feel so energized, you want to do things all the time and nothing can bring you down. This is the sensations that we feel when the Kundalini energy is being released. Kundalini Yoga also works directly with the subconscious mind, helping to release old tensed up emotions, habits and patterns.
Kundalini Yoga was brought to the West by Yogi Bhajan in the 1960s, first to California and from there it spread to the rest of the western world. The teachings of Kundalini Yoga had always been hidden, they were never taught publicly before – especially not to women. Yogi Bhajan broke this tradition of silence, taking a great risk in doing so, but as he noted himself "The world is thirsty, and I have water." He made it his mission in life to deliver as many of the teachings as he possibly could before he passed. We are the first generation that has full and free access to the teachings (many of them accessible online through 'The Yogi Bhajan Library of Teachings').
A lot of the meditations and yoga sets are more than 5000 years old. The yogis of the East have been practicing them for many thousands of years – but always in secrecy. Yogi Bhajan learned them from his teacher, and was declared a master of Kundalini Yoga at the age of 16. He was also taught Hatha Yoga and was a Hatha Yoga master as well, but as he explained himself, it takes 20 years of total dedication to receive from Hatha Yoga, what a healthy person can achieve with a dedicated Kundalini Yoga practice in just 90 days. Kundalini Yoga can help when dealing with many of the problems that we are facing in today's world. In the 1970s Yogi Bhajan talked about how all the information in the world would be available at just a click of the button, and that we would need these teachings in order to navigate through this age, with its acceleration of technology and the new diseases that are mostly of the mental kinds. He gave us these tools to strengthen ourselves to move towards positivity and light, because the darker magnetic pulls of the planet are increasing. We are so lucky to have access to this technology at a time when the pressure is on us like never before. The demands for what a person should be able to handle is monumental, but with these tools at hands there is no reason why we should not be able to turn this lifetime into a total victory!
Wearing white is said to expand the aura, and the color white contains all the other colors. Yogi Bhajan asked than anyone who teaches Kundalini Yoga wear white in order to better project the teachings to the students without any blocking of the persons magnetic field. The technology of the turban was also requested of Yogi Bhajan, and helps the teacher to stay grounded, as covering the head prevents the energies of the crown chakra from running wild, and it also stimulates these points around the skull called meridians. Maybe you know from your own experience how tying up your hair helps you to concentrate better when you are working on something. The turban works in a similar way, to create concentration and focus.
If the teacher were to do the exercises with the students who were to look after the students? Kundalini Yoga kriyas are sets that are supposed to be taught accurately. The teacher needs to be focused on keeping time, and keeping the head clear to steer the students safely through the class, and keep the teachings as precise as possible. That is also why the teacher should always bring the manual, or some other write up of the yogasets and meditations, to teach from. It needs to be precise in order to create the effects.
Dizziness and confusion is not Kundalini energy – it's not what we are looking for when we practice. In the beginning it is quite unavoidable though to not feel the head spinning when you first learn to do exercises like 'breath of fire' or the spinal flexing exercises and twists. Keep a moderate tempo, a steady rhythm and take any breaks necessary when you begin this practice. There is a difference between feeling energy move through the body, which can create tingling and other sensations – and dizziness. If there is an exercise you cannot do, just sit still and focus on the breath and join in again whenever you feel ready. In time you will build up your stamina, and learn the difference between when you feel discomfort that you can push through, and pain. Kundalini Yoga is designed to sometimes make you feel a certain level of discomfort, as it can be necessary in order to push you further into acting from you own full capacity, but you decide when to push through an exercise, and when to sit it out.
The teachings are what they are, and they work so well as they does, and the outcomes are predictable, because they have not been altered. Altering Kundalini Yoga and you destroy the effects. These methods are tried and tested for thousands of years, and were delivered with this age in mind, so there is no need to alter them in order to "suit our modern needs". Any attempt in doing so can only come from an egoist point of view, where a person cannot accept them as they are, and feel a need to involve himself in the process, instead of just delivering them as they were intended.
Kundalini Yoga was never intended as a curative system. It is not meant for treating illnesses, so if you do have an injury, and you have already checked with your doctor to see if Kundalini Yoga is okay for you to practice, and you encounter a posture that you cannot do, it is okay for you to modify the posture to fit you OR to wait for the posture to be over, and then join in again when you can.
When pregnant or menstruating there are also certain postures or pranayamas that you should not be doing, breath of fire, stretch pose and sat kriya for example. Always inform your teacher if you are pregnant. The teacher will usually warn about postures not to be done during menstruation. Always listen to your body and do what is right for you.
We tune in using the Adi Mantra 'ONG NAMO GURU DEV NAMO'. This mantra links us to the chain of teachers from who the teachings have been passed down. It also sets a certain frequency within the group, and creates a unified field and group energy. Tuning out we chant a long SAT and a short NAM. SAT means "truth", NAM means "the form of" and it can be translated to "I am the truth". We are acknowledging who we really are, as this mantra serves to remind us of. There is also a closing song "May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You" which is a beautiful way of rounding off the practice, and sending our well wishes to all those who needs it – it can also be said as a prayer, it doesn't have to be sung.
Mantras are sound codes, and works as a map for the placement of the tongue. When the tongue hits the 82 meridian points, behind the teeth on the upper palate, they create a vibratory effect that stimulate the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal gland, which then starts to secrete and affect the other glands in the body, and makes you feel better. To modern science the pituitary gland and the pineal gland are still a mystery, but Yogi Bhajan explained that those glands are responsible for the secretion of all the bodily glands, therefore immensely important for optimal bodily function, and the mantras are affecting them directly. This has not been proven by science no, but scientists are proving new things every day – does that mean that those new things didn't exist before being discovered by science? – No, and many of the things that Yogi Bhajan talked about has since then been proven right by scientists. For example Yogi Bhajan would always say to do a meditation every day for 40 days, and now scientists have proven that it takes 40 days for your brain to permanently change from meditation. Quite amazing! If you are still not convinced about the mantras, just try them out for yourself. Feeling a little down? Play Chattr Chakkr Vartee – you will instantly feel better! We know how sounds are vibrations, and everything in this world is vibrating at a higher or lower frequency, so the mantras are effecting our own vibrations directly. Plus they give the mind something to focus on, and they help to fill the subconscious mind with something better than your own destructive thoughts. The mantras are so important, both to listen to and recite.
Yogi Bhajan never used the term Guru about himself, but said that he was solely here to deliver these teachings to us, and future generations. He always clearly stated that he was not the source of these messages but just here to deliver them, thus taking no credit or appraisal for anything that would happen to his students. Yogi Bhajan was a born Sikh and when he came to America he got involved in the American Sikh culture. Sikhism is a religion that is based on equality of all people, regardless of gender, nationality, religious background or cast. The Gurdwaras (churches of Sikhism) are open to everyone, and there are no restrictions or separations. Naturally a lot of his students were drawn to his way of living and did convert to Sikhism, however many did not, and there are absolutely no requirements for anyone practicing Kundalini Yoga to be involved what so ever in Sikhism. The two are connected via the mantras that all comes from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, which is a book containing poems and texts from the ten Sikh Gurus that lived from 1450-1708. Kundalini Yoga and Sikhism got involved with each other, when Guru Nanek (the first Sikh Guru) 's son, who was a yogi, and Guru Ram Das met each other, and learned about the other person's way of living.
The word Guru means "that which takes you from darkness into the light" and when used in the mantras does not refer to a person.
The organization 3HO (Healthy, Happy and Holy organization), was founded by Yogi Bhajan, when he came to The States, and to this day still constitutes the foundation for all activity regarding Kundalini Yoga, White Tantric Yoga, Solstice events etc. It is a spiritual family that anyone who wishes are welcome to call theirs. There is no initiation or requirements for being part of it, only love for the teachings and for Kundalini Yoga, and a desire to share and celebrate this way of living with others.
Kundalini Yoga is centered on the practice of kriyas, meditations, pranayama etc. but as it is a full system that also include lifestyle and general dietary guidelines (vegetarian diet, no alcohol or toxins etc), there is so much information that you can gather about how to progress your practice and essentially your life. Find more information on 'The Yogi Bhajan Library of Teachings' or 3ho.org or ask your Kundalini Yoga teacher.
Kundalini Yoga, for its fullest effect, is intended to be a daily practice. To be repeated. The best time to do so is during 'The Golden Hour', 'Amrit Vela', some time from 3h-6h30 or the 2 and a half hour before the sun rises. The world is quiet at that time, the suns angle to the earth is at 60 degrees, and it is the time where the subconscious chatter is the most amplified, so sleeping through this time of the day is not a really good idea. Instead you can get up, do some breath of fire, a few yoga exercises or a kriya, and a meditation (going back to sleep after is totally acceptable). Ask you teacher for suggestions for sadhanas or choose your favorite exercises from the class.
Doing a teachers training program to progress your own practice is also a very good idea. Check out RA MA Institute or Harijiwan.com for upcoming trainings in Europe and around the world.

Week 4: who am "I"?
October 22, 2014 Master Keys, Uncategorized
This week's reading focused on the "I".
Most people think who they are is a race, or a gender, or a nationality, or a religion, or an ethnic group, or a sexual identity. Haanel says that we are not our bodies, as they are just tools of the "I", just as much as the internet, our car, or the spoon we use to eat with.
Others think that who they are is their mind, but no, the Master Keys says, the mind is also just a tool. When you say "I think", there is an "I" who is using the mind to do the thinking, the planning, and the acting.
So who am "I"?
The "I" must be something which controls and directs both the body and the mind
He goes on to mention that your "I" is not your personality either, as this is simply the result of your former ways of thinking, your old blueprint, if you will.
So what is the "I"? How can you find out who "you" really are?
He mentions exercises to train yourself to think, to strengthen your conscious mind — your World Without — so it can constructively address the World Within — your subby.
… when you have learned to control yourself you will have found the "World Within" which controls the world without; you will have become irresistible; men and things will respond to your every wish without any apparent effort on your part.
This is not so strange or impossible as it may appear when you remember that the "World Within" is controlled by the "I" and that this "I" is a part or one with the Infinite "I" which is the Universal Energy ….
… referring to the Universal Mind. As I mentioned before, each of our subbies is an outlet to the Universal Mind.
So who "I" am, deep down, is my subby, who uses my mind and body to navigate and create my world.
Now you might be asking at this point, "So if I'm an outlet to the infinite power of God, why is my life so screwed up?"
The greatest and most marvelous power which this "I" has been given is the power tho think, but few people know how to think constructively, or correctly, consequently they achieve only indifferent results. Most people allow their thoughts to dwell on selfish purposes, the inevitable result of an infantile mind. When a mind becomes mature, it understands that the germ of defeat is in every selfish thought.
Basically, it's because our conscious mind has abdicated as the "watchman at the gate", and instead is preoccupied with Ebola, or the Kardashians, or the fall TV shows, or how the government is doing this or that, instead of being focused on anything constructive.
He takes pains to make it clear that he doesn't mean we should give away everything and live in poverty, becoming what most people think of as "selfless". I personally feel that this attitude is self-destructive and a attempt to selfishly garner pity and attention for how "holy" you are.
I think Haanel agrees:
Self-denial is not success. We cannot give unless we get; we cannot be helpful unless we are strong. The Infinite is not a bankrupt and we who are the representatives of Infinite power should not be bankrupts either, and if we wish to be of service to others we must have power and more power, but to get it we must give it; we must be of service.
He later says:
… we must be a channel whereby the Universal can express activity. The Universal is constantly seeking to express itself, to be of service, and it seeks the channel whereby it can find the greatest activity, where it can do the most good …
I find this seriously exciting! Remember all the little atoms in the Universal Mind's "plastic mind substance"? Well, they are out there looking to see who is ready to do something good and useful so they can help!
There is so much in this chapter that I could be writing all day … but what we're doing this week is basically a baby step attempt to turn our minds from our own pettiness and negativity on towards the ideals and aspirations that uniquely touch each of us individually, because these are the things which the "I" has always wanted to do, before the rest of the world with its ideas cast us into some cement copy of someone else (who probably isn't either happy or doing much with their lives).
And this is only week 4!! I can't imagine what will happen at the end of this. This whole thing is too exciting for words. 😀

The nurse patted my hand and said, "Don't worry. This medical problem can easily be fixed, and it's not a dangerous procedure."
"You're right. I'm being silly," I said, "Please continue."
"Good," the nurse went on, "Now, do you have a living will?"

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents.
The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11:00 a.m., all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books, and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits.
Just when the clock struck 11:00, Pookie Johnson, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner.

A Messy Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen And This Kitchen Is Delirious
No Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes
Driving to the supermarket one day, I turned left into a parking row and accidentally struck another car that was backing out.
There was just enough damage done that the other driver would need to file a police report to get her insurance company to pay for it and she was livid.
A few weeks later my husband and I were helping a friend with her yard sale, when that same woman sauntered up the driveway, checking out the items my friend had laid out for sale.
"There's that woman from my accident," I frantically whispered to my husband. "What should I do?"
My husband had no sympathy. "Just go up to her," he advised, "and say 'Nice bumping into you again.' "
pic of the day: Duck!
"Doctor, doctor! I keep thinking I'm a bell!"
"Go home and if the feeling persists, give me a ring."
"Doctor, doctor! I keep thinking I am a set of curtains!"
"Pull yourself together, man!"
"Doctor, how do I stop my nose from running?"
"Stick your foot out and trip it."
"Doctor, doctor! What are you writing on my ankle?"
"Just a footnote."
A man rushed into a busy doctor's office and shouted, Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!"
The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."
One morning soon after the doors opened in the store where I work, a man rushed to the jewelry counter and said he needed a pair of diamond earrings. I showed him a wide selection, and he quickly selected a pair.
I asked him, "Would you like the earrings gift wrapped?"
"That'd be great. But can you make it quick? I forgot today was my anniversary, and my wife thinks I'm taking out the trash."
The psychology instructor had just finished a lecture on mental health and was giving an oral test.
Speaking specifically about manic depression, she asked, "How would you diagnose a patient who walks back and forth screaming at the top of his lungs one minute, then sits in a chair weeping uncontrollably the next?"
A young man in the rear raised his hand and answered, "A basketball coach?"
I had just moved from an apartment to a house in the same small town. One day at the grocery store, I finally used the last of my personalized checks bearing my old address.
The cashier examined my check and asked if everything on it was correct. I assured her that it was, and she started to put the check in the cash drawer. But then she inquired again if everything was accurate.
"Why do you ask?" I responded.
"Because my husband and I moved to this apartment yesterday, and I don't remember seeing you at breakfast."

I wouldn't rely on CM as my source for information for any medications or supplements I give my child. I would do my own research and talk to my doctor. If you trust strangers online more than the doctor, get a new doctor.

I didn't intend to say it in a mean way. I see tons of misinformation about all kinds of things all over this site. I very sincerely meant that if she doesn't trust her doctor she should find one that she has more faith in. If she thinks her pediatrician put her kid on dope based on what CM moms say it's an issue.

Years Active
2004 – present (13 years)
Founded In
Hamburg, Germany
Venatic is a heavy rock band from Hamburg / Germany, founded in 2003. After some changes during the bands history, the final lineup including Torben Neuss (drums), Markus Iben (bass), Mark Pöhner (guitar), Peter Haubenschild (guitar) and Julien Philipp (vocals) should be found. Since each musician has the same priority in this band, 5 different minds need to be united to get one result. The combination of their musical preferences sounds like a mixture of classic 80s metal and modern distorted guitar music. In their early days, Venatic saw band competitions as a good way for getting stage experience and so it happened that they entered the Bandnet Award final in 2004 and won their first studio recording. After two EPs, they finally released their self-produced debut album "Bleeding Alpha" in 2007.
But their real passion is performing live because for them it's the most important thing related to music - having fun! www.venatic.de

Trust's May Walking Challenge at St Joseph's, Broadstairs
The beginning was the word and the word was "Walk".
Whilst many were called to arms by the Trust's May walking competition, few were chosen.
At St Joseph's in Broadstairs, however, the flame of competition was ignited for this worthy cause with 2 teams taking up the challenge to "strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees "(Hebrews).
Hoping that our steps will be "fruitful and multiply", St Denis Heads Up and St Christopher's Caravan (Team B)are hoping to prove those of little faith wrong and show that with the patience of Job "The Lord makes firm the steps of one who delights him".
For the uninitiated, the competition is designed to encourage all staff within the Trust to walk for the month with the team recording the highest level of steps receiving a much sought after prize as per Corinthians "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such ways as to get the prize….They do it to get a crown that will not last but we do it to get a crown that will last forever". Clearly, a Fitbit is a worthy prize in lieu of a crown that lasts forever and whoever the alpha and omega of the competition is at the end of May, we have certainly already had a great deal of fun at St Joseph's with tactical discussions, some innocuous trash talking of the B Team and timely reviews of our lifestyle and levels of (in)activity !
St Joseph's would like to wish all the participating schools all the best with the challenge and can think of no more fitting trumpet call than Proverbs " In their hearts humans plan their course but the Lord establishes their steps".
Good luck everyone !

To hear Jimmie Johnson tell it, Richmond International Raceway is a lot of fun for a race car driver. Just not him. Jimmie Johnson. Photo by Eric Gilbert. The .75-mile oval is a little too big to be a short track and a little...
To hear Jimmie Johnson tell it, Richmond International Raceway is a lot of fun for a race car driver. Just not him.
"It's a really good race track for everyone," said Johnson, who is 27 points ahead of teammate Jeff Gordon in the championship standings. "It's got the right layout, the right shape and we have enough speed with enough room for our race cars to put on a good show. Everybody smiles when we think about coming to Richmond. It really fits our race cars and the racing that we put on."
The only problem is that Johnson has yet to find the magic at RIR that has taken him to victory lane 15 times in the past four seasons. In six Nextel Cup starts, Johnson has managed just one top-10 finish - a second-place run last spring. In his four Richmond starts before last season, Johnson had finished on the lead lap twice and led a total of one lap - the first lap of the fall race in 2002 when he started from the pole.
"I don't think we've got anything figured out yet," said Johnson, who was 40th in Happy Hour and qualified 28th on Friday. "We've been struggling up here for a while. We run fine - top 5 and top 10, but just never really fought for the win, and hopefully we can get that changed around. But, we're off to a slow start right now."
"It can really take an experienced team to win here," said Johnson, who failed to score a top-10 finish in five Busch Series starts at RIR. "It's so hard to run competitive lap times. A lot of times it seems that the strategy of your pit stops at the end gives you your track position to win the race. You have to fall on the team and the entire experience of the team. That's why veterans teams and veteran drivers (go) to the top."
Johnson experienced both ends of the Richmond finishing order last season. He finished a career-best second to Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the spring race, but suffered through a 36th-place finish in the final race before the Chase for the Championship last September. The poor result allowed teammate Jeff Gordon to take over first place in the point standings.
But you get the feeling that if Johnson finds his way to victory lane, Richmond will quickly become one of his favorite race tracks.
"One guy feels it's the perfect track once he's in victory lane," said Johnson. "It's a great race track. Of the short tracks we run on, it fits our race cars the best. We can put on the best show here. Bristol is great-fans love it, the drivers love it, but it's tough to pass. It's tough to really race on it. Martinsville's the same way. This track, you've got multiple lanes and you can really race."

Decanter65% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. Great intensity of classic Bordeaux fruit on the nose, cassis, dark cherries and liquorice. The rich round palate is bursting with fresh blackberry and blackcurrant, lovely silky tannins great length all in perfect harmony.
Our Favorite Value Bordeaux Wines
Château Rollan de By Medoc 2011Located in the northern part of Medoc, not far from the Atlantic Ocean and close to the Estuary of the Gironde, the Domaines Rollan de By is a 180-hectare vineyard that benefits from a microclimate, protected from extreme conditions. Taking care of every detail, viniculturists have chosen the best areas to cultivate each grape variety. On gravelly soil, combined with sand and clay sub-layers, the vines have their roots deep into the arid soil. We implemented a rational way of culture that respects the environment as much as possible and return to traditional viticulture without excluding new technologies when they provide quality benefits. A minutious daily care is given to the maintenance and development of our vineyard.

Moulin d'Issan Bordeaux Supérieur 2014From August 21st until the end of November, summer conditions are setting in for long with continuous heat and dry weather. The Indian summer has allowed a rigorous selection plot by plot, offering to our 2 grape varieties progressive and optimal ripeness. The harvested berries present a beautiful fruit crunchy and generous, with some delicate and refined tannins. Thanks to the perfect conditions during the month of June, we have obtained a homogeneous flowering around June 25th, without gaps between the Merlot and the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Château Caronne Ste. Gemme Landot Haut Medoc 2005
Chateau Lynch-Bages Echo de Lynch Bages 2014Like its big brother, Echo de Lynch-Bages displays the characteristic taste, aromas and length of Pauillac wines. As an echo of the first wine, it receives the same care and attention from the vine to the cellars. It is the result of a selection of Lynch-Bages' youngest vines and specific plots which represent between 25 to 40 % of the harvest depending on the vintage. Echo de Lynch-Bages is round, soft and seductive in its youth with outstanding potential for bottle age.

La Dame de Montrose Saint Estephe 2012The robe is silky with an average intensity and a beautiful cherry red colour. The nose is very expressive and concentrated, slightly sweet and woody, with a mixture of red fruit aromas, raspberry, and morello cherry. The palate is powerful and racy, combining suppleness and tight tannins. Beautiful length in the mouth, with tannins less evident in the after-taste. A Second wine well balanced and accessible.

Chateau Clerc Milon Pauillac 2011The wine is a deep and radiant garnet red. The nose reveals finely toasted spice and tobacco notes combined with more intense aromas of red fruit and cherry stone, with a mineral touch. The palate is full and well-defined, dominated by the lustre of succulent fruit and refined, flavoursome tannins that open on a hint of chocolate. The long, warm-hearted finish is lifted by a slightly saline taste. A superb wine in a particularly demanding vintage.

Chateau La Barotte Reserve Bordeaux 2013Black color with crimson tints, brimming with black fruit flavors, blackberry and black cherry, as well as red fruits: blackcurrant, crushed strawberry and licorice. Spicy and toasty, full bodied with ripe and toasty tannins on the long finish. Perfect with red meat, grilled meat and game. Also well suited for pasta, red sauces and cheese.

Chateau Clinet Ronan By Clinet Bordeaux 2012Ronan By Clinet 2012 presents a brilliant ruby appearance. Its nose is aromatic with hints of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant, enlivened with sweet pepper. The fruity freshness of the bouquet is equally complemented by floral hints (blueberry flowers). Its attack, delicately wrapped, reveals a sweet fruity evolution. On the palate, flavours of raspberry, fresh cherry and redcurrant develop, complemented with fine spices. Its finish is persistent and flavoursome.
- spw90
Chateau les Rouilleres Bordeaux 2015This wine has cherry color of a medium intensity. It is aromatic with notes of red fruits and spices. The tannis are supple and the wine is fine and balanced. A spectacular Bordeaux from the much heralded 2009 vintage with a level of complexity that far exceeds its humble price point. Goes great with grilled meats and cheese. Featured in TheTimesWeekly.com as Wine of the Week 9/23/14: "This is an exceptional Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet and Cabernet Franc that truly delivers a delicate blend of ripe red fruit and creamy vanilla spice from oak aging that makes it the perfect accompaniment for an elegant meal of steak, lamb or turkey, pheasant or a roasted rosemary chicken."

The final doubles win came at number three, as Tory Montoya and Laura Gibson (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Gibson Academy) beat Allie Burnbaum and Rachel Rigdon 8-3.
At number one singles, Resnick downed Peterson 6-0, 6-0, while French was a 6-1, 6-3 winner over O'Brian at number two singles. French improved to 9-1 in her last 10 matches with the win.

"It was a joy to work with Brent on our school website.
He was always professional, easy to engage with and had lots of good ideas. The follow-up service has been great as well, always very helpful and efficient. Creating a website can be quite stressful and time consuming. Brent made the whole process a lot easier than it could have been."
Vicki Gunning
Head of Junior School / Marketing
Charlton Christian College
"At Belmont Christian College we used Flashme Web Design and Photography to complete a photo-shoot and video recording of the school grounds. Flashme also re-constructed the college website from the ground up providing a much needed new look and fresh feel to the website.
We have had many new and current parents comment on how the new website provides a great first impression of what Belmont Christian College is all about. They feel that they have met the principal first hand on their computer screen.
Flashme web design is prompt and reliable in all that they do. If there is an issue Brent is very quick to respond and sort the problem out. He is always keen to have our website running well."
Adam Lowth
Information Technology Manager
Belmont Christian College
"Brent has created a website that I am proud of. The feedback I continuously get, I know has helped our sales. I cannot speak highly enough of the service I have received from start to finish and ongoing.
Brent has a great creative ability to design a website that is easy for the customers to get around. One of the other amazing things Brent has created is a user friendly way to edit our website. He is an absolute genius and I would recommend Flashme Web Design to anyone looking for a new website."
Tania Harvey
"Wyong Christian Community School engaged the services of Flash Me web design in 2010 to construct a new website for our school. Our experience with Brent from that point forward has been quite positive. I found Brent easy to work with. He was receptive to what we were trying to achieve, professional in the way he conducted himself and highly competent in completing the project. Since our new website went live we have had quite a lot of positive feedback about its look and functionality. We have also developed a fruitful ongoing relationship. Modifications, updates and edits to our website are done in a timely fashion and are reasonably priced. When we were investigating different web developers several had the business model that said they retained ownership of the website despite the fact that it was for our school. This was a point of concern for me. From the outset Brent explained that we retained ownership of the site and that he was confident that the quality of his work would ensure that we would retain his services not a contractual obligation due to intellectual property rights. This has been our experience for the last four years and I would happily recommend his services. You are welcome to contact me at the school should you wish to ask any further questions."

CHAPTER 1 Introduction
1.1 Research Background and Significance
1.1.1 Background
Recently, encouraged by the increasing demand in pork and the favorable government policy, the pig industry in China has obtained a rapid progress. Investment from various fields has been put in to it and the whole pig breeding industry mow is facing a dramatic change in its development pattern. And this change can be reflected in following aspects: firstly, the breeding model has adjusted from small free-range farming to specialized operation in large-scale, and intensiveness of breeding pigs has largely increased; secondly, the farming enterprises have shifted their focus from the simple farming business to the construction of a complete pig breeding industry chain.
Under this background, the competition of pig breeding industry has become increasingly fierce. What's more, the current large-scale production mode of pig breeding differs from the small-scale breeding in the past. Therefore, to gain more benefits, it is a necessity for pig breeding companies to improve their business management by reforming their management concept and choosing the most appropriate methods for further development.
Financial management is placed as the priority for modern corporate management, especially when it comes to management cost. Hence, the implementation of cost advantage has a great influence on the development and strategic execution of the company.
1.2 Research Objectives
To achieve massive production, industrialization and a complete industry chain, higher demand has been set on cost management. This thesis selects the DT plant which is governed by Company ZB as the research object, exploring the crux of the problems existed in the cost management with a thorough analysis of its operating conditi

I just read this article over at PCWorld. Sadly, I have to agree with everything in it. Linux as a Desktop OS is fantastic, if you know how to configure it, and if you can live without all the good content which is available for Windows or Mac OS X. Those are two huge "if"s, though. I personally use Linux for much of my daily work, and basically for everything that's related to programming in any way. However, I have to go back to Windows much too often to play games, listen to music, watch movies, etc. Sure, I can run most of the programs in Wine, but it just doesn't feel right.
For Linux to become a good Desktop OS, it would definitely need some love from the big software companies. As an example, a little while ago, there were rumors about Steam coming to Linux. Things like that would really help Linux adoption. Unfortunately, it's too hard for software developers to support Linux. Sure, the program can probably run on every distribution out there, but the method of installing applications can be completely different from one distribution to another, and this is hell for a developer. After all, if it's hard to install applications no normal desktop user will choose Linux, and the fewer users Linux has, the less meaningful it is for software companies to develop applications for it.
Free software advocates might not think this is a bad thing. After all, a common way of thinking in the Linux world is that software is supposed to be free, and that the Linux world shouldn't be polluted by closed, proprietary, software. This is a good philosophy, but the facts cannot be ignored. Many good software products are written by large companies, and these companies want to earn money from it.
Personally, I wouldn't mind running a couple of proprietary applications in Linux, if that let me do everything I want. I don't hate Windows; I actually think it's perfectly OK. However, Linux improves my productivity with its outstanding scripting abilities. unmatched by anything I have seen for Windows. If I could get just one OS which fulfills all my needs I would be happy. Unfortunately, I don't think Linux will be that OS anytime soon…

Guidelines on a Major Accident Prevention Policy and Safety Management System, as required by Council Directive 96/82/EC (Seveso II)
The council directive 96/82/EC (SEVESO II) is aimed at the prevention of major accidents involving dangerous substances, and the limitation of their consequences. Certain areas have been identified where new provisions are needed on the basis of an analysis on major accidents reported to the Commission since the implementation of SEVESO I. Failures of the management system were found to be the cause of over 85% of accidents reported. SEVESO II sets out the requirements for management policies and systems, suitable for the prevention, control and mitigation of major accident hazards. The Directive sets out two levels of requirements, 'lower tier' and 'upper tier'. For lower tier establishments, a Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP) has been designed to guarantee a high level of protection for man and the environment. For members of the upper tier, safety must be demonstrated in a report implementing MAPP and a Safety Management System (SMS).

Discussion in 'The South of the USA FAQ' started by trilingual, Apr 30, 2003.
Please post info about Rio restaurants here.
(Note: Edited to correct some minor address/Portuguese spelling errors. Thanks for the recommendations, Axiom!)
I've had the good fortune in traveling to Rio on three occasions. Each time I've eaten at some of the restaurants which are posted in the archives as well as in guide books: do try these-- you will not go wrong.
A. Confeitaria Colombo, Rua Gonçalves Dias 32, Cenro
...wonderful desserts and drink on the first fl-- food, etc.
on the 2nd floor. ...superb feijoada on Saturdays
B. Porcão, Ave. Infante Don Henrique s/n, Parque do Flamengo, Flamengo,
(This is the one to go to; there are others.
....superb food, reasonable prices, and the atmosphere
to die for...
C. Marius Crustaceos Seafood/Brasilian, Av Atlantica 290, Leme
(Their steak/meat house is next door gets raves, too!)
D. Yemanja- Bahian- Rua Visconde de Piraja 128, Ipanema
If you're into trying good restaurants while traveling-- do try these and others. Food prices in Brasil are very low compared to comparable cities in the North. I've spent under $30 for two at these restaurants, and we had sumptuous meals.
Some other restaurants:
A. Siqueira Grill, r. Siqueira Campos in the middle of the block by the beach. A very good "por kilo" (by weight) buffet, with a wide selection of salads, sushi/sashimi, main dishes, grilled meats and desserts. Home-away-from-home for many M4Mers!
B. Carretão, r. Siqueira Campos opposite the Siqueira Grill. A good, very reasonably priced churrasco rodízio (all-you-can-eat grilled meats) that's popular with Cariocas. There are other branches that are a bit less crowded, like the one on r. Ronald de Carvalho on the block facing the Praça do Lido.
C. Bella Blu, r. Siqueira Campos between Toneleros and Barata Ribeiro. A pizzeria/Italian restaurant with an outdoor café, close to the Atlântico and popular with some M4Mers.
D. Trattoria, r. Fernando Mendes (around the corner from Maxim's and across the street from the Hotel Excelsior). Very good Italian food, lively, gay-friendly, reasonable prices and manageable portions. NO credit cards, though, so bring cash!
E. Amir, r. Ronaldo de Carvalho facing Praça do Lido. Excellent Middle Eastern food, in generous portions. Go with someone else and order the tasting menu for two (or more). It'll be more than you can finish, and it'll all be delicious!
F. Gula-Gula, r. Anibal de Mendonça 132, in Ipanema. Smart, attractive restaurant in Ipanema with international selections, including some American dishes, reasonable prices.
G. Café Fleuri, 4th floor of Meridien Hotel. Excellent Sunday brunch; a bit steep by Rio standards at about R$65 a person. Buffet style, with a wide selection of dishes, all drinks included (it was necessary to explain mimosas to them, but they caught on immediately and just kept them coming!) and picture postcard views of Copacabana Beach from the window seats. If you feel like shlepping out there, there's a similarly lavish (and underutilized) weekend brunch at the Sheraton Rio, with ocean views.
H. Pax Emporium, on one of the two food floors (the top two floors) of the Praia Botafogo Shopping Center. Good salads and other dishes, and a billion-dollar view of Botafogo Bay and Sugar Loaf. There are numerous other choices on the two floors; if you just want a snack there are several fast food places including McDonald's, with the same breathtaking view.
I. Bookstore/Music Store Cafés: This trend has hit Rio, and they're great, especially after walking the hot sidewalks window shopping. In Copacabana, try the Allegro café inside Modern Sound, the city's finest CD store. Live music every day (piano in the afternoons, groups in the early evening). In Ipanema, there are cafés in the following excellent bookstores: Livraria da Travessa, Letras e Expressões, and Renovar. In Leblon, there's another Letras e Expressões with a café. At RioSul shopping center, there's also a café (with Internet access) in the Saraiva MegaStore.
J. Other cafés: they're cropping up all over the place. Some of the more appealing ones are in museums/cultural centers, so check them out! In Copacabana, a branch of Confeitaria Colombo just opened in the old fort at the end of the beach! Haven't been there yet, but the photos in the newspaper entertainment supplement make it look wonderful, with superb views from the outdoor terrace tables. There are a couple of nice cafés in the gardens of the Catete Palace (Museu da República), and others at the Museum of Modern Art, at the National Fine Arts Museum, at the Botanical Gardens, etc. Downtown there's the not-to-be-missed original Confeitaria Colombo (a spectacular Belle Epoque café) and the very attractive and pleasant tea room upstairs in the Centro Cultural do Banco do Brasil. There's also an attractive café and restaurant in one of the courtyards of the old Paço Imperial (the first Imperial Palace) downtown.
K. Big splurge: Cipriani's at the Copacabana Palace, and the St. Honorée on top of the Meridien are very expensive by Rio standards (and not cheap by American/European ones) but offer superb food and service, and gorgeous views in the case of the Meridien.
There are many other fine restaurants in Rio. This is just a smattering! Looking forward to more postings. For foodies, there's also a good, bilingual annual restaurant guide published by a critic named Danúsia Bárbara, available at the better book stores. Other restaurant guides can be found in the Friday entertainment supplements of "O Globo" and "Jornal do Brasil" and in the local entertainment supplement to "Veja" (comes out on Sundays). Also there are listings and ratings in the "Guia 4 Rodas," available at all newstands.
A very upscale new seafood place just opened on r. Ronald de Carvalho (or is it Duvivier?) , just a few steps from Av. Atlântica and close to the Copacabana Palace. It's called Pampa Oceano, and it may also serve beef. I haven't eaten there yet, but the reviews have been good and it should be worth a splurge!
The closest thing yet to American-style hamburgers has just opened in the Rio Plaza mall (the former Botafogo Off-Price mall across the road from RioSul, where Tok & Stok and the Outback Steakhouse are also located). It's called Joe & Leo's, and the burgers are indeed good, although the buns could use a bit of work! Need to be firmer; mine started falling apart, so my bacon cheeseburger ended up having to be eaten with a knife and fork. But it was very tasty!
To get to this mall from Copacabana, go to RioSul, walk towards the Canecão night club, and then go into the pedestrian underpass. Walk all the way through the underpass and exit on the farthest stairway to your right. You'll be just a few steps from the main entrance of the mall, and Joe & Leo's is right at the entrance. To go back to Copacabana, it's probably easiest to take a taxi because of the traffic. There's a taxi stop inside the mall parking garage, so just go into the parking lot and take a cab from the stand you'll find there, or any taxi pulling up to drop off a passenger.
In RioSul, on the second floor food court, there's a new "Mexican" place called Guapo Loco that serves a pretty fair burrito. Not quite what I was used to in California, but much cheaper to get to! For a change from the usual fare, these two spots are worth keeping in mind!
I'd recommend AZUMI Japanese restaurant, Rua Ministro Viveios de Castro, 127 (Copacabana). 2541-4294 and 2295-1098
Jackhammer, Alex, two guys from Florida, and I ate there on the recommendation of Jackhammer. It was a great choice, as this restaurant is "frequented by the Japanese colony and executives." The food was delicious...
>A. Confeitaria Colombo, Rua Gonçalves Dias 32, Cenro
> ...wonderful desserts and drink on the first fl-- food,
This place is like a trip back in time to Vienna in the 1890's. It is a spectacle!
>B. Porcão, Ave. Infante Don Henrique s/n, Parque do
>Flamengo, Flamengo,
> (This is the one to go to; there are others.
> ....superb food, reasonable prices, and the atmosphere

Plus, the views. Out the front door is the Cristo on Corcovado and out the back, across the bay, is Sugar Loaf.
I was part of a party of about 25 who ate and drank and drank for hours over New Years. It cost us US$19.00 each.
Fork restaurant
Rua Teixeira de Melo, 30A, Ipanema (Quadra da Praia)
telephone (21)2287-9300
It is small, nicely decorated, excellent
food, upscale, but jeans and T's or shorts is fine(very much like
L.A.) Average entre from low end of $12. reias to 25., great
It has a table for 6 outside and seating for about 25 inside, there is a wait if it's after 9:00 p.m. on Weds. - Sun. Call ahead for reservations. The owner speaks English, and runs a upscale Catereing service as well if you want you own private party! This came highly recommended and four us that ate there all highly recommend it!Appetizers, and good bar with flavored caprihinas! Great place to
take your favorite boy and be away from the ^"crowd"
Two other attractive options with reasonable prices are:
Dom Camillo, on Av. Atlântica near the corner of Bolívar. Good Italian food, with a sidewalk café and an indoor section. My BF and I split a lobster Caesar salad, which is the first one I've had in Rio in which the dressing tastes like what I expected (of course, Caesar salads are a Mexican invention, supposedly originated at Cardini's restaurant in Tijuana). This was followed by manioc-filled ravioli with langoustines in a mushroom cream sauce. Also delicious! My BF had the pasta with seafood, which he adored. For six of us, with two relatively expensive bottles of Chilean merlot, the bill came to around R$300.
La Fiorentina, on Av. Atlântica in Leme, not far from Marius. Also Italian, and also indoor/outdoor, with good food and a variety of prices. Formerly this was THE hangout for the movie/theater community in Rio, but it's still lively and very enjoyable.
Both of these places are open until late.

Fork is now Closed! 9/02/04[b\]
There is a restaurant I have been to twice, called Bar d'hôtel"
it is in the Marina all Suites Hotel in Leblon next to the Marina
Palace Hotel, next to Ipanema, actually same at Ipanema. There are
about a block apart on Atlantica, this is the in the second one(going
south)on the second floor. Very nice, upscale, intimate, straight,
but gay friendly. Good menu, most entrees around $25. reias. Tables
along the windows overlook the beach, where it is lit by flood
lights, as the surf there is rough and splashs up over the rocks,
makes for a romantic dinner!
Highly recommended!
I just got back from 16 days in Rio and can heartily recommend on Pampas Oceano Crustaceo one block east from the Hotel Copacabana Palace and one building off of Avenida Atlantica. The restaurant is totally fish and shellfish with no meats served at all. The quality and variety of fish beats what is offered at Marius Crusteceao hands down. The price was 79R per person. Any you can order whatever you want without waiting for the different waiters to bring by what you would like. We ordered wonderful oysters, freshly-opened by the dozen and cazaquinhas(sp?)/lobster tails by the half-dozen with drawn butter. Simply scrumptious. They had super sole both fresh and smoked. Ditto on the salmon.
I went to a restaurant for the first time called Cafe Feliz, in
Ipenema, here is the description one reviewer gave:
""Cafe Felice which serves great cocktails, pastas, gourmet
sandwiches and the best ice-cream in town to a hip Carioca crowd.""
It has a small outdoor eating area, large first floor dining area and
a smaller 2nd floor area as well. I would guess the night we were
there, Sunday about 10:00 pm , about 2/3 of the crowd was gay, felt
like I was in Chelsea or West Hollywood.
Another upscale choice is either of the two restaurants in the Marina
Tower hotel and Marina Suites hotel which are next door to each other
in Leblon, upscale, intimate, very gay friendly. Excellent food and
service. I liked the restaurant in the Marina Tower hotel slightly
better, it's called "Bar d'hotel" restaurant, at Ave Delfim Moreira
and Atlantica, facing the ocean, take a special friend here for a
romantic evening.
For Sushi lovers, "Azumi" Restaurant, across the street from the
Royal Rio hotel, at 127 Rua Ministro Viveiros de Castro. There were
6 of us and we got one of the private rooms and it was excellent
The following is my impression of several restaurants in Rio.
***** La Maison Located at the cornor of Santa Clara & Atlantico. Santa Clara is two blocks from Siguiera Campos, headed toward Ipenema.
This is a very gay friendly, very fun place. It has a open sidewalk section, in addition to inside seating. The waiters are wonderful and really make you feel like family. Very good food, very reasonably priced.
***** Por Cao Flamingo. All the taxis can get you there.
The best rodizio in Rio. Gay friendly and the waiters are all Brazilian studs to say the least. The food is suburb. About $R50 before drinks. All you can eat, very high quality.
***** Cafe Lamas, in Flamingo. Taxis know the place
Opened in 1874, this is a real find. It is always packed with locals and gives a very Braziliam feel. The waiters are all in white coats and ties and bustle about meeting your every need. The speciality of the house is filet mignot, and it is very very good. A filet mignot dinner starts at $R20. A very fun place.
***** Garrota do Ipanema Well know to taqxis
This is where the song was composed. Very lively, fun place, not particularily gay. No one seems to notice that Wan Hallen is all over me, making sure that everyone knows he is my armorado. The food is excellent, especiall the the filet mignot for two. They bring out a grill and you finish cooking the steak yourself. They serve so much, this keeps it warm for you.
***** Via Farme Very gay friendly in the gay part of Ipanema. Rua Farme de Amoedo, 47, Ipanema
Really good Italian food. We had a great time there. Had a table with an open window to the street. I had lobster ravioli for $R23.
***** Trattora Across from the Excelsior Hotel, taxis know where it is.
Very quaint place with very good food. There was an interesting signed posted to the bar. It was a warning that sex with minors was against the law in Rio. Seems like a family type restaurant and I wondered about the sign. It is the only place in Rio I have seen such a warning. I had scallopini for $R26.
Will add to the list later.

Although I've always liked the lunch buffet at Confeiteria Columbo, I have never really enjoyed their baked desserts. I do not know what it is, but the caloric desserts available in Rio have never come close to the best available in France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany or Switzerland. And let's not even get into discussion of apple strudel. If you can't see through the dough, as my grandmother said, it still isn't light enough. The last time I had strudel here in the US, the "authentic" french bistro used filo dough. Anyway, I think I really do appreciate fine sweets and I found a good place called Chocolatras in Leblon. They have four locations in Rio, three in the southern part of Rio and one in Sao Cristovao. Great mouse and flourless chocolate cakes, supper cappucino and incredible chocolate truffles. And much less expensive than Columbo as well. A nice sixed piece of cake for under 4R and truffles for only 1R. Of course, the saunas also some wonderfully delectable, noncaloric desserts as well. But the prices can range considerably higher.
