Shakuntaleyti naamasyaaha kritam chaapi tatoh mayaa"
Hence, I name her Shakuntala, the one protected by Shakuntas"
The above were the words uttered by sage Kanva in the Adi Parva of the Mahabharata. He was the one who found baby Shakuntala alone and abandoned in the forest.
Indian mythology is vibrant and colourful and presents some of the world's best ever romantic legends. Sanskrit literature, especially, is a rich treasure trove of love tales that are sensuous and passionate and rouse the romantics in each of us. Epics such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata comprise several charming stories of love between mortals, kings and queens, Gods and Goddesses. The divine and undying emotion of love is further celebrated by great poets and writers of ancient India.
One such legend is that of Shakuntala, the daughter of sage Vishwamitra and the beautiful Apsara, Menaka. This tale revolves round the love of Shakuntala and the mighty king, Dushyanta. Originally mentioned in the Mahabharata, the story of Shakuntala has been immortalized by way of the Abhijyanashakuntalam, written by the great poet, Kalidasa.
Shakuntala was born to sage Vishwamitra and the heavenly Apsara Menaka. Menaka had been ordered by Indra, the King of the Devas, to travel down to earth and distract the great sage from his mighty and powerful penance.
Indra was well aware of Vishwamitra's powers and feared that if he grew any stronger spiritually, he would easily be able to usurp his own thrown and start ruling the Devaloka. Before we go into the actual story of Shakuntala, let us first look at the life and times of her parents, Vishwamitra and Menaka.
Brahmarishi Vishwamitra is one of the most revered rishis of ancient India. Also a great scholar, he is credited as the author of much of Mandala 3 of the Rigveda, including the Gayatri Mantra. According to the Puranas, Vishwamitra is the first among only 24 ancient rishis to have understood the actual brilliance and meaning of the Gayatri Mantra. Vishwamitra's mentioned is also found in several legendary stories and in different works of the Sanatana Dharma.
Vishwamitra, a descendant of the mighty King Kusha (not Lord Rama's son), was also called Kaushika. He was originally a king of ancient India. Vishwamitra ruled the earth for many thousands of years. The story of Vishwamitra appears in various Puranas, with slight differences in each one of them. He was the son of Gadhi, one of the four sons of Kusha.
On one of his expeditions, Kaushika, along with his soldiers, decided to rest in Rishi Vasistha's ashram (hermitage). The sage welcomed him wholeheartedly and fed and took care of the entire army. The king wondered as to how it was possible for the humble, simple ashram to take care of all the arrangements to feed an entire army. When he expressed his surprise to the sage, Vasistha told him that his little calf, Nandini, had provided the food to the entire entourage. Nandini, the daughter of the holy, wish-granting cow, Kamadhenu, was a gift from Indra.
Kaushika immediately started thinking of possessing the calf and how beneficial it could prove to him and the country at large. He requested the sage to hand over Nandini to him. Vasistha was polite, but refused the king's request, saying that he would never be tempted by any amount of wealth that Kaushika could offer him. He knew that Nandini could offer infinite times that wealth if he so wished.
This angered Kaushika, who poured verbal insults at Brahmarishi Vasistha. He then ordered his soldiers to seize the cow, and drive it to his kingdom. However, the great Vasistha, with his Yogic powers, called forth an entire army of warriors to fight Kaushika's army. The latter's army was completely routed and Kaushika was captured and presented before Vasistha. The sage pardoned Kaushika, spared his life and sent him back to his own kingdom.
In another version, Vasistha destroyed the whole of the army with the chanting of Aum. Kaushika then undertook penance to appease Lord Shiva, who granted him the knowledge of celestial weaponry. Filled with pride and arrogance, Kaushika went back to Vasistha's ashram, only to be quashed again with the power of Vasishta's Brahmadanda or sacred wooden stick.
The defeat made the king realize how great spiritual power was. Taking the name Vishwamitra (a friend of the World), he then renounced his kingdom and undertook penance in order to become a greater rishi than Vasistha. After many years of severe penance and austerities, he finally attained the title of Brahmarishi and that too, from sage Vasishta himself. This immediately ends their enmity.
Interestingly, it was also at this time that he met Menaka and then sired Shankuntala. Vishwamitra's love for Menaka was known to be extremely intense and passionate, much beyond human imagination.
As a king, Kaushika had been arrogant and haughty, with a vile temper. He had not lost that temper even when he became an ascetic. But as a former king, Vishwamitra also had a lot of compassion for all around and was always willing to help those in trouble.
King Trishanku had been cursed to become a Chandala or untouchable. He was hence transformed into a person with an ash-smeared body, clothed in black, wearing jewellery made of iron. Trishanku asked his guru, Vasishta, to send him to heaven while in his own body, but the guru told him that this was not possible. So Trishanku made the same request to Vishwamitra, who conducted a great yagna, knowing well that this act would also rob him of all the punya (good karma) that he had gathered in his lifetime of penance.
When none of the Devas accepted Trishanku into heaven, Vishwamitra decided to use his Yogic powers and ordered him to ascend to heaven. Trishanku did rise to heaven, but was rejected by Indra. Enraged by this, the mighty Vishwamitra created a different heaven for the king, called the Trishanku Swarga. He stopped only when Brihaspati ordered him to do so. Ultimately, though, the king did not enjoy his exclusive heaven and was then transformed into a constellation.
In the epic Ramayana, Vishwamitra featured as Lord Rama's guru. He gave both Rama and Lakshmana the knowledge of advanced religious principles and also of the Devastras or celestial weaponry. Using this knowledge, Rama defeated and slayed Tataka, Maricha and Subahu.
Vishwamitra also influenced Rama to go to Sita's swayamvara and win her hand in marriage, which Rama finally does.
Menaka was a stunningly beautiful Apsara who captured the hearts of the Devas, Suras and Asuras alike. An Apsara is a celestial nymph or a celestial maiden, with spiritual powers. Youthful and vibrant, they are also well-versed in all the fine arts. They are married to the Gandharvas and serve Indra in his court, by singing and dancing to the music created by their husbands.
Apsaras are believed to be capable of changing their shape at will. The four most famous Apsaras are Urvashi, Rambha, Tilottama and Menaka. Out of them, Menaka was the one who was the most beautiful, as also the most powerful.
Fearing that Vishwamitra's steep spiritual rise would enable him to overthrow Indra and rule Devaloka, Indra ordered Menaka to go down to Earth and break his penance. Accordingly, Menaka appeared in front of Vishwamitra and tried her level best to distract him with her dance and music.
Finally, Vishwamitra gave in to her charms. He felt lust and passion well up inside him when he saw her swimming naked in a lake near the waterfall. He left his penance to be with her and the two of them made love for years together. Though Menaka had come with a mission, she herself fell deeply in love with Vishwamitra and the two shared a passion experienced by none else.
Vishwamitra came to know of Indra's devious trick and was enraged at his cowardly act. However, he was well aware of Menaka's genuine love for him and therefore, he merely cursed her that she would be separated from him forever.
Menaka left for the heavens and there, she discovered she was pregnant with Vishwamitra's child. She gave birth to Shakuntala and left the infant at rishi Kanva's ashram.
Vishwamitra was enraged to find out how he had been duped by Menaka and the Devas and he also felt ashamed of himself that he had lost all the virtue he had gained through his many years of penance and ascetism. He distanced himself from the mother and child and got back to his penance.
Knowing that she could not leave the child with him, and wanting to go back to the heavens, Menaka left her newborn in the forest. It was here that the infant was found by Kanva Rishi. Naming her Shakuntala, Kanva Rishi took her to his ashram, on the banks of the Malini River which is located near the Shivalik hills of the Himalayas.
Shakuntala's childhood was spent happily roaming around in the greenery of the hills, along with her two closest friends, Anasuya and Priyamvada. She grew up to be a strikingly beautiful young woman, who radiated youth and elegance, though simply clad in cotton garments and flowers for ornaments. She had a sweet voice and equally sweet and sober nature as well.
So gentle and soft-spoken was she, that even the birds and animals residing in the forest were drawn to her. In fact, Shakuntala is often portrayed petting deer, who are considered to be some of the most timid animals, fearing all human contact.
Shakuntala's life turned around when she happened to lay her eyes on Dushyanta. Dushyanta was a great King featuring in Indian mythology and classical Indian literature as well. He is the central male character of Kalidasa's great play, Abhignanashakuntalam.
His name appears in the Mahabharata as a mighty, powerful and just ruler who fought and won many a battle, thereby gaining power over many states of India. Dushyanta was the son of Ilina and Rathantara. His rule is believed to have spanned from Gandhara (now, Kandahar in Afghanistan) to the Vindhyas and from Sindhu (now, Pakistan) to Banga (now, Bangladesh).
King Dushyanta first encountered Shakuntala while travelling through the forest with his army, in pursuit of a male deer, injured by his arrow. He happened to enter the ashram, when he saw Shakuntala and instantly fell in love with her. Begging her forgiveness for harming the deer, he also spent some time at the ashram.
When he expressed his love for her, he realized that Shakuntala too reciprocated his feelings. The young couple spent many happy hours with each other. Dushyanta then secretly married Shakuntala, in accordance with the Gandharva Vivaha tradition prevalent then. Dushyanta stayed overnight in the ashram and then left for his capital city, promising Shakunatala that he would return soon to take her back to his kingdom, as his lawfully wedded wife. Before leaving, he gave his precious ring to Shakuntala, as a sign of his love for her. He also particularly asked her not to lose it under any circumstance.
After Dushyanta's departure from the ashram, Shakuntala spent much time dreaming about him and was often in her own dream world, neither eating nor sleeping properly. One day, rishi Durvasa, who was infamous for his nasty temper, came to the ashram. Lost in her thoughts, Shakuntala failed to notice the sage and greet him properly.
Enraged by this insult, Durvasa cursed Shakuntala, saying that the person of her dreams would forget about her altogether. As he was about to depart, one of Shakuntala's friends explained to him the real reason behind Shakuntala's distraction and that it was never her intention to insult the rishi.
Understanding Shakuntala's state and realizing that she was truly innocent; Durvasa modified his curse saying that the person who had forgotten Shakuntala would recall everything if she showed him a personal token of love that had been given to her.
Time passed by and Shakuntala started wondering why Dushyanta did not return for her. In a few weeks' time, Shakuntala panicked when realized that she was pregnant with Dushyanta's child. Very soon, her condition would become obvious to one and all around. She confided in Kanva Maharshi, who immediately decided to send her to her husband, Dushyanta.
It was the day for Shakuntala to leave for the capital city. Dressed in beautiful silk attire, Shakuntala left the ashram along with her foster father. On the way to the kingdom, Shakuntala and her entourage had to cross a river by a canoe. Attracted to the sheer beauty of the river, Shakuntala ran her fingers through the deep blue water. At this moment, the ring given to her by Dushyanta slipped off her finger, without her realizing it. A fish swimming in the river swallowed the ring.
When she reached Dushyanta's court, a message was sent to the king about the arrival of a woman who claimed to be his wife. Unfortunately, Dushyanta had lost his memory, due to Durvasa's curse. He did not recall anything at all about Shakuntala and their wedding. Hence, he refused to accept Shakuntala as his wife. Shakuntala tried to remind him of their meeting, the hours they had spent in each other's company, the night he had stayed on in the ashram and so on. But Dushyanta remembered nothing.
In a final bid, Shakuntala told him about the ring he had given her and raised her hand to show it to him. Only then did she realize that it had fallen off somewhere and that she had lost it forever.
Utterly humiliated and dejected, Shakuntala returned to a remote part the forest, where she, in due course of time, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Bharata, as she named him, was one day destined to become one of the most powerful icons of Indian history.
Bharata gradually grew older and turned out to be a strong, handsome youth. Having been raised in the forest, he moved around with the wild animals there and grew to be fearless, healthy and extremely active and agile. He used to ride the wild animals and often made a sport of opening the mouths of lions and tigers in order to count their teeth.
When the time came, Shakuntala taught him the art of archery and also the use of weapons. She also acquainted him with the Vedas and the Upanishads. Bharata soon grew to become a handsome and intelligent young man - veritably, a prince in exile!
In the meantime, a fisherman was utterly surprised to find a royal ring inside the belly of a fish he had caught. He found the ring when he cut up the fish and recognizing the royal seal, he took the ring to Dushyanta. As he held the ring, Dushyanta immediately recalled his past - his love for Shakuntala, the wonderful time spent with her and the memories of his lovely bride. He felt very bad about the way he had rudely driven away his own pregnant wife from his court, insulting her in front of one and all present there.
Wasting no more time, Dushyanta immediately set out to find Shakuntala. Arriving at her father's ashram, he realized that she had left there. He decided to move deeper into the forest to find her. He then suddenly stopped when he came upon a surprising scene - a young lad had pried open the mouth of a lion and was counting its teeth!
Utterly amazed, Dushyanta asked the boy his name. More surprise was in store for him, as the boy said that he was Bharata, the son of King Dushyanta. Then, at Dushyanta's request, the boy took him to Shakuntala. Dushyanta narrated to her all that he had been through in the past few days, how he had lost his memory and how he could now remember everything. Finally, he asked her to join him again and thus, the family was reunited.
There is yet another version of this story. It goes on to narrate how Menaka took Shakuntala back to Heaven when Dushyanta refused to accept her as his wife. Shakuntala stayed on there till she gave birth to Bharata.
Meanwhile, Dushyanta had to wage war against the Devas - his reward was to be reunited with his wife and son. He emerged the victor in this battle and after that, he had a vision, which surprised him.
He saw a young boy counting the teeth of a lion. His kavach (armour) had fallen off his arm. The Devas told Dushyanta that only Bharata's mother or father could tie it back on his arm. Dushyanta successfully tied the kavach on his arm. Surprised and confused, Bharata took the king to his mother Shakuntala and told her that this person claimed to be his father.
Shakuntala was amazed to see Dushyanta again and told Bharata that the king was indeed his father. Thus the family was reunited in Heaven. They then returned to earth to rule for many years before the birth of the Pandavas.
Bharata, the son of Shakuntala and Dushyanta, went on to become a legendary Indo-Aryan emperor of India, who was given equal important in both Hindu and Jain mythology. Belonging to the Kashyapa clan of Hindu Brahmins, he is considered to be the ancestor of all those belonging to Kashyapa linage.
Bharata was a mighty emperor who conquered all of Greater India, unifying it into a single entity, which was named after him, as the Bharatavarsha. According to the Mahabharata, Bharatavarsha spanned over the entire Indian subcontinent, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgistan, Bactria and Persia. Today, the term "Bharatavarsha" officially implies only the Republic of India.
Varsham tadbharatam naama bharati yatra santatihi"
"The country that lies in the north of the ocean and in the south of the snowy mountains is called Bharatam. Therein reside the descendants of Bharata."
According to some other Puranas, the Bharatavarsha implies the whole of Planet Earth, and not just India.
The name Bharata in Sanskrit, stands for "the cherished one". During childhood, Bharata was also referred to as Sarvadamana, which means, "the one who subdues all". This name probably came to be because even as a young child, Bharata loved to play with the fierce animals of the forest, seizing and restraining them with his bare hands. It is also believed that since Dushyanta supported his son after receiving the celestial message, the boy came to be called Bharata, "the supported". Of course, there is no historical or mythological evidence to prove the theory. This sometimes shows up in some dramatized versions of Kalidasa's Abhigyanashakuntalam.
Bharata, who became King in his youth, ruled long and virtuously, earned great name and fame. His empire was named Bharatavarsha. He soon grew from strength to strength and earned several titles, including "Chakravarti" (emperor) and "Sarvabhauma" (the omniscient one).
Bharata wedded Sunanda, the daughter of Sarvasena, the ruler of Kashi.
Bharata had in all three wives and nine sons. But none of them were like him. The mothers of the children were very angry and disappointed by this and hence, slew all their children. Bharata then conducted a great yagna called "mourisoma" and, by the grace of the sage, Bharadwaja, begot a son he named Bhumanyu. He named this son his heir-apparent.
Bhumanyu wedded Vijaya, the daughter of Dasarha and they had a son named Suhotra. Suhotra later married Suvarna, the daughter of Ikshvaku and they begot a son named Hasti. Hasti founded the city of Hastinapura.
Hasti got married to Yashodhara, the princess of Trigarta. They had a son named Vikunthana.
Vikunthana, in time, went on to marry Sudeva, the princess of Dasarha. They had a son named Ajamidha. Ajamidha had four wives Raikeyi, Gandhari, Visala and Riksha. By his wife Riksha, Ajamidha begot a son, Samvarana.
Samavarana married Tapati, Vivaswat's daughter and begot a son named Kuru. This great ruler went on to create the Kurukshetra sacred by practising asceticism there.
Kuru married Shubhangi and they got a son named Viduratha. Viduratha in turn married Supriya and they had a son named Anaswan.
Anaswan got married to Amrita and they had a son called Parikshit. Parikshit then married Suvasa and they had a son, Bhimasena. Bhimasena in turn married Kumari and their son was named Pratisravas. Pratisravas' son was called Pratipa.
Pratipa got wedded to Sunanda and they had three sons. Because the eldest son adopted the life of an ascetic, the second son, Shantanu, ascended the throne.
Shantanu became one of the most important characters of the Mahabharata. He married Ganga, who bore him a son called Devavrata, who was later referred to as Bhishma. Shantanu also married Satyavati later and got two sons. Out of them, Vichitravirya ascended the throne. Satyavati had already had a son by sage Parashara, named Vedavyasa (also known as Dwaipayana).
Sage Vedvyasa had three children, Dhritarashtra, Pandu and Vidura.
The 100 sons of Dhritarashtra were collectively referred to as the Kauravas, while the five sons of Pandu were called the Pandavas.
The Mahabharata starts off with the story of the Pandavas and the Kauravas and their hatred for each other. The Pandavas married Draupadi or Panchali, as she is also known. Arjuna, one of the Pandavas, had many wives, one of which was Krishna's sister, Subhadra. By Subhadra, Arjuna begot Abhimanyu, who died fighting in the Chakravyuha formation during the great Kurukshetra war.
Abhimanyu married Uttar and they had a son called Parikshit, who took the Bharata Vamsa further ahead after the Pandavas' time.


The movie obviously did great but a funny thing happened along the way. The knife that Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo character uses became even more popular than the film! There were a few years there in the 80's where everyone and their mother either owned, or wanted to own their very own Rambo knife!
Well 30+ years later the Rambo knife, or the Rocky Mountain Survival Knife as it now is sold by is back!
The Rocky Mountain Survival Knife is essentially the same knife as before. The blade is nice and sharp and has a serrated edge and can opener hook on the top of it. The back of the handle still has that bubble style compass that comes off to reveal the hollowed out handle. And of course the handle houses all of the classic survival gear that you remember so well.
The bonus item that comes with this offer is popular para cord bracelet. This matches quite well with the Rocky Mountain Survival Knife as you can use it as part of the survival gear.
When ordered from the Rocky Mountain Survival Knife web site you'll get one Rocky Mountain Survival Knife and para cord bracelet for a grand total of $29.99.
The Rocky Mountain Survival Knife As Seen On TV commercial though did not do this offer justice. They tried to position this product to appeal to disaster preppers and survivalists and for me it just didn't resonate. (The pitchman was a guy named Thom Buck who I had never personally heard of.) I mean, it looked kind of silly where the veteran As seen on TV actor looking guy was making a spear out of the para cord and knife!
Silly commercial aside, I think that the Rocky Mountain Survival Knife is a great deal not for it's use in the field, but more of a nostalgic piece that you can share with the kids and grand kids when your talking about those glory days in the 80s.
So if you want to have a bit of fun owning your very own "Rambo Knife" again, be sure to click that big yellow box below to get your Rocky Mountain Survival Knife today!

what do YOU think about the Rocky Mountain Survival Knife? Be sure to let us know in the comments below!
A butter knife would be better… Hahahaha!!!
The knife was worthless in the 80's and it's value hasn't increase since.


Some of your major plumbing headaches are hidden leaving the homeowner or business owner lost in the dark. They only wait to make their appearance at the most inopportune time that usually results in an emergency plumbing incident and a dent in your bank account.
And if you're on a first-name basis with your friendly plumbing company they will be your first call – day or night. Help, being the operative word in this situation, folks.
There is a certain amount of dread when a homeowner discovers water in the basement or on a Holiday when the toilet water just spins and spins but never flushes. When you own a home or business these fears are inevitable; sometimes you're the bug; sometimes you're the windshield.
Every property owner should learn the role of an emergency plumbing service and how it will shape your home or business and, of course, your pocketbook. After all, what would you expect if you call your plumber on short notice and demand his expertise immediately.
And did you ever pay attention to the fact that your plumber never comes at odd hours of the day or night, Christmas morning or New Years Eve? That said, please keep reminding yourself that emergency plumbing services are NOT cheap – they are many times absolutely necessary to prevent a catastrophe in your home. Water and sewer leaks can end up being very costly and be an equal opportunity annoyer.
It is hard to stop an emergency from happening, which is why they're called: Emergencies! No one looks for an emergency to happen, which is why it's so startling when it happens. Preventing problems in the future is difficult.
However, your local plumber can offer a full range of regular inspections as well as maintenance services designed to nail the plumbing problem before it becomes an emergency.
Inspections at least every six months to one year is the norm. Also, never flush anything more than just toilet paper down their drain. It's a toilet not a garbage can.
For an Emergency Plumbing job in the Tucson area, Spartan Plumbing is the company for you! Call (520) 617-1000 and get the experts on it.

www.BRKKA.com Free 2 week martial arts intro program for kids and adults.
Keeping students passionate about the martial arts is the responsibility of all martial arts instructors and dojo owners.
Every martial arts practice and dojo has different facets and benefits to offer. They may have a unique offering or niche market. They may have certain instructors that fit your exact need or maybe it's simply a location issue. Whatever your goal, it's important to identify what you are seeking upfront. Prioritize your needs and start your search. Know what to ask and what to look for.
Here are a few questions/tips we've compiled over the years that might make your search easier. Ask them and make sure you get answers before committing to anything.
– If there is a specific style of the martial arts you are looking for, make sure to clarify that it is taught. The generic term MMA (mixed martial arts) doesn't necessarily mean your particular style is supported through an experienced instructor.
– Ask to sample a few classes before making a commitment. The atmosphere of the dojo is important and you and/or your child will be spending a good amount of time there over the years.
– To that point, don't just watch a class …. TRY it! Especially with kids, it can be intimidating to sit on the sidelines. Jump in and have fun!
– Identify the main goal for you or your child. Is it exercise, socialization, confidence, self defense or something else? Some dojos are more focused on self defense than others, especially when it involves children. Make sure you are comfortable with what is being taught and how your child's time is being spent. We often hear that high belt rank is achieved but proper form and the ability to defend is lacking…. Decide what's important to you before starting a program.
– Are costs of the program given freely and easily? Are all costs given upfront (belt testing, uniform, enrollment, gear, etc.)? It can be frustrating and time consuming when dojos will not give you pricing without extra work on your behalf. Just remember… YOU are the customer.
– Are the contracts being offered acceptable? Not everyone is ready to sign on the dotted line for a year, two years or more. Make sure your budget is being respected and any contract commitment works for you. Some schools will negotiate shorter-term contracts – they may be slightly more expensive, but it may be better for your situation.
– Make sure the dojo is clean. Viruses and infection are easily spread… take a close look at the mats, the bathrooms, etc. Ask if the mats and floors are cleaned and sterilized and how often. A little prevention can help you avoid a lot of future discomfort.
– Take some time to watch and get to know the instructor's personality. Some are more traditional than others, some are more informal or causal. Decide how you or your child responds best in an instructional environment. Discipline issues take time away from learning and can also negate the fun that should be experienced. Also, see if adults are taught differently than children. Some instructors have one style that may not work for different age groups.
Not every martial arts dojo is right for every individual. Make sure you are at the right place for you or your children before making a commitment of time and money. Your experience should be wonderfully positive and never filled with regret or dissatisfaction.

Hydration… Is it really necessary to drink water?


As I drive south from Cairns down the Bruce Highway, with the tropical escarpment to the right and surrounded by cane fields, I am happy and I begin the inner journey to revitalisation, to a better version of me, someone who is relaxed and leading a life in balance. Even the name of the highway makes me smile – Bruce – it's so Australian. I stop at a roadside stall to buy delicious tropical fruits – red papaya and bananas straight from the plantations and revel in the heat and the humidity.
I'm on my way to Sanctuary, an Eco resort 5km north of Mission Beach, set high on the hill in tropical rainforest. I have retreated here every year since 2004 and it feels like a second home now, a place of healing and relaxation, where I can regenerate. As I crest the hill at Brooks Beach and the panoramic ocean view opens up before me, it takes my breath away, as it always does.
On arrival, access from the car park up to the resort high on the hill, is usually by the resort's four wheel drive 'troop carrier', but I choose to leave my luggage in the car park for pick up and walk up the steep 600m path through the rainforest. This will be the first of many walks 'up the hill' during my stay. The forest envelops me in green tropical silence, broken only by the scratching of scrub hens. If I am lucky today I will see a Cassowary. These ancient, flightless birds are almost extinct, but are a regular feature at Sanctuary. Proceed with caution, Cassowaries are large, wild animals and are unpredictable!
The resort has a bar and restaurant with several communal dining and sitting areas, a massive balcony overlooking the sea, a self-catering kitchen and even hammocks to while away an hour (or two!) swinging and daydreaming. Accommodation consists of compact eco cabins with ensuite bathroom and small balcony, but I am choosing to stay in one of the rainforest huts. Perched on tall wooden legs and accessed by boardwalks, the huts provide the full experience of being in the rainforest. My favourite pastime is being curled up in bed with a good book during a tropical storm, with rain hammering down on the canvas roof. The huts are comfortable, but basic, and this assists in the stripping back of the layers of a complicated life, back to the fundamentals.
There are extremes of weather here and Sanctuary has been heartbreakingly destroyed by cyclones twice in the last decade. Both times it has been lovingly rebuilt and restored with very little alteration. The rainforest takes longer to recover and regenerate, but is now back to its full splendor and new guests are amazed when they see the photos of Cyclone Larry and Cyclone Yasi's destruction.
I am staying for ten days and incorporating a three-day yoga retreat. Sanctuary offers a huge variety of yoga retreats hosted by guest yoga teachers from around the country. The yoga room is a bubble of calm within the bubble that is Sanctuary. It is perched in the treetops, accessed down a steep path and is a sanctuary within a sanctuary. It is fully equipped and can be used by any guest outside class times.
I slip into my familiar routine – yoga, beach time, swimming in the pool, walks, reading, meditation, contemplation, daydreaming, and massage. Each practice unwinds me further until the tension is gone, my worries are far, far away and I am at peace. When I am ready to leave the bubble on the hill that is Sanctuary, I will drive the 5km into Mission Beach and explore the cafes and boutique stores, the Sunday market, take a walk along the main beach and catch up with the many local friends that I have made over the years that I have been visiting. The resort does several trips into town each week and guests without vehicles can hitch a lift in the troopie.
After a few days the yoga retreat begins and I am ready for a more structured day and to connect with others; morning practice, breakfast, free time for the beach or the hammock, afternoon practice, group dinner and an early night. The group gels quickly and I always find like-minded people, with a love for yoga and nature, that become instant friends.
Food. Oh my goodness the food here is divine! Hazel the chef is the epitome of preparing food with love. Every meal is a delight (and the snacks and juices in between!). There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options and solo travellers are welcome to join the Sanctuary team for 'staff dinner' if they don't want to dine alone. A highlight of my stay is the Indian feast on the last night of the yoga retreat, a wonderful array of dishes and all special diets are painstakingly catered for.
With a full bar and coffee service you will be relying on your own willpower if you wish to undertake a cleanse during your stay! There is mobile phone service, although coverage is patchy if you are not with one of the two main providers and there is free WiFi. Sanctuary is a quiet place and guests always seem to respect others' privacy and need for peace and quiet without the need for rules about the use of devices.
Three days later and I wave goodbye to my new friends as they are ferried back down the hill in the troopie following the breakfast buffet on the last morning of the yoga retreat. It's good to be back in a more introverted space for the final days of my stay, to luxuriate in the freedom of every minute of the day being my own, to do with as I wish. This to me is true luxury! I swim, sunbathe, read and meditate on the beach. I wander down to the yoga room for solo practice. I have a final massage to iron out the last of the tense, knotted muscles. I sit on the 'sunset bench' and watch the sun go down behind the range in a firestorm of colour. I watch the full moon rise above the ocean from the long house balcony, creating a 'stairway to heaven'.

The Inter-Food Noodle World is an annual industry food event, with a focus on noodles.
I managed to snag a pass, let's see what this is all about!
Anything noodle related, you can be sure it is represented here. There were half a dozen noodle manufacturers on site. Most ramen shops in Japan use noodles that were made at a factory. Don't let the word factory dissuade you; these are often very high quality. Back in the USA we have a few of these noodle factories, and if you have a bowl in a major coastal city the chances that you are eating Sun Noodles or Yamachan are very high.
Be careful at these industry events, or you will be loaded down with more samples than you can carry.
Variety is key in Japan. Often a shop's secret recipe isn't such a mystery, but the careful selection of ingredients is what make it stand out. Do you want niboshi from Chiba or niboshi from the Seto Sea?
Kitchen equipment. This pressure cooker lets you make a 12 hour stock in about two. You might need a second mortgage on your home to buy one though. Very cool technology. I had a chance to use this cooker in Osaka, which I will write about someday soon.
Ticket machines with digital touch screens. SUICA is charge card that is meant for use on the trains, but has since become a standard form of payment. Choose your ramen, then just wave your wallet in front of the machine. Slick!
This expo isn't just for ramen. And despite being called Noodle World, there are also sections for izakayas, hotel foods, and franchising.
I tried to talk to as many ramen-related exhibitors as I could before heading out to non-ramen sections. Can you guess why? These expos are an easy place to get very, very drunk.
Why buy US fries? According to the info-graphic . . . we're #1!
When you start to spend some time talking with the black sesame fountain guy, maybe it is time to go.
The next day, I made some nice mazemen with the noodle samples I got from Maru Yama Seimen.


I think you are truly on to something. Direct proof, of course, is the term "moral hazard" that is bandied about not just by conservative economic policy discourse, but on the US left (which is the rest of the world's center-right). The concept of moral hazard explicitly states the moral case against bailouts, handouts, or anything else that might alleviate the individual or institution from what is seen, from Olympian heights, as bad decision-making.
I've thought about the Europe issue a lot & talked to a number of EU law folks. I'm skeptical that current Germans are really that freaked out about inflation that their great-grandparents experienced.
What I hear instead from "northern" euro countries is a deep distrust of "southern" euro countries, whom they suspect will manage their own economies & fiscal houses carelessly and then expect the ECB to inflate away their troubles. "Northern" euro folks see themselves as likely creditors and so the ones who will effectively pay for the inflation bailout.
of course, knowing what we know about Italy & Greece one has to admit there's something to this moral hazard story. But it's surely greatly overstated, especially given that threats of future punishment are relatively unlikely to really deter fiscal mismanagement by current "southern" euro governments.
The key to understanding this moralistic attitude in economics is that people adopt civic morals that reinforce the moral habits of everyday life. In a depression, these moral habits must emphasize frugality. Keynesian policies, unfortunately, are out of synch with mass psychology.
The American great has lengthy sought to cut back the dimension of American government--or office 2010 product key on the lowest to cut back taxes--and they regard Keynesian stimulus as merely a signifies by which the left justifies expansion of federal government uses how the great would like to eliminate. That's the political explanation, anyway, however it ordinarily windows 7 enterprise activation key travels acquiring several financial claims.
The key to understanding this moralistic mind-set Buy Cheap WOW Goldin business economics is that people embrace social philosophy that strengthen the ethical routines of everyday routine. In a depressive disorder, these ethical routines must highlight austerity. Keynesian policies,Buy RS Gold unfortunately, are out of synch with mass mindset.

Q: Python url issues Hey guys so i am trying out python and i have the following code that returns me a urllib.error.URLERROR:
import sys
import urllib.request
urlToRead = "http://www.google.ca"
crawledWebLinks = {}
while urlToRead !='':
    try:
        urlToRead = input("Please enter the next URL to crawl")
        if urlToRead == "":
            break
        shortName = input("Please enter a short name for that Url "+ urlToRead)
        webFile = urllib.request.urlopen(urlToRead).read()
        crawledWebLinks[shortName] = webFile

    except:
        print("Unexpected Error", sys.exc_info()[0])
        stopOrProceed = input("Hmm...stop or proceed? Enter 1 to stop and enter anything else to continue.")
        if stopOrProceed == 1:
            print ("Okey-Dokey\n")
            break
        else:
            continue

print(crawledWebLinks.keys())

A: You could try printing the exception message:
except Exception as e:
    print("Unexpected Error", e)

this will give you more information than just the exception class. Instead of just "URLError", you might see something more informative like <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>.

Some properties that are not serviced by our reticulation water network have an opportunity to access a water supply from a nearby Melbourne Water aqueduct or pipeline/conduit.
Property owners must enter into an agreement with Yarra Valley Water and Melbourne Water to access this supply. Property owners must also request permission from Yarra Valley Water and Melbourne Water to install a siphon and/or private main (known as a trunk service), which would be built and paid for by the property owner.
Water in the aqueduct or pipeline/conduit is untreated, which means this water supply is not suitable for drinking or food preparation. Yarra Valley Water does not guarantee its quality or the continuity of supply. If you own a property connected to an untreated supply from a Melbourne Water aqueduct or pipeline, you must take all proper and appropriate steps to notify any tenant, lessee, occupant, licensee or visitor to the property that the water supply is not disinfected and is not suitable for drinking or for food preparation, regardless of whether the supply is used as your main source of supply or as a second source of supply. The water is untreated and may contain harmful bacteria or other organisms.
Tell any visitor to your property that your untreated water supply is not disinfected, and is therefore not safe to drink or to use for preparing food.
Have an available on-site storage tank(s) filled with at least four weeks water supply, for use during periods of supply interruption.
Engage a plumber if your private main leaks or experiences a burst.
Maintain and record as built drawings of your private main, ensure a copy is provided to Yarra Valley Water.
Call Yarra Valley Water on 13 2762 if you experience an unexpected interruption to your untreated water supply.
Call Melbourne Water on 13 1722 to request permission to enter their land (five days notice is required).
Do not use your untreated water supply for drinking purposes or food preparation.
Do not interfere with any meters.
Do not rely on a continued water supply during Melbourne Water maintenance works on aqueducts or pipelines/conduits.
Do not contact Yarra Valley Water or Melbourne Water about maintenance of your private main.
Melbourne Water is required to complete occasional maintenance works on sections of their aqueducts and pipelines/conduits. During periods of maintenance works, these aqueducts or pipelines could be closed for up to four weeks. The normal flow is likely to be interrupted, and customers should not rely on the water supply being available for the duration of the specified maintenance period.
In the event of an unscheduled asset failure, the supply interruption could be longer than four weeks. Where possible, Yarra Valley Water will notify customers one week before any planned water supply interruptions. In the case of an emergency or unplanned interruption it is not possible to provide advance notification.
Yarra Valley Water does not guarantee the continuity of supply. We strongly recommend that you have an alternate supply of water to use as a contingency during periods when your untreated supply is interrupted.
For customers who do not have an alternate supply (e.g. a connection to Yarra Valley Water's reticulation system) we recommend that you have on-site storage tank with enough water supply to last for four weeks. This recommendation is in accordance with the Customer Water Supply Agreement you have with Yarra Valley Water.
As with all other customers of Yarra Valley Water, properties connected to the untreated water supply via a private main will incur charges for the water used. The property owner/tenant is responsible for paying for the water they use. All water supplied to a property must be measured by a meter. The price of untreated water is fixed to the lowest tier of the drinking water tariff. Unlike drinking water, you will not be charged a Water Supply System service charge for your untreated water supply, and the price you pay for untreated water will not increase with the amount you use.
A private water main consists of the direct connection to the Melbourne Water asset, the service pipe, and a separate branch connecting each property. Private mains connecting properties to Melbourne Water's assets are to be built and owned by the property owner(s). Owners are also responsible for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the private water main and any works required to connect the property to the private water main.
Property owner(s) own all of the installation, including the direct connection, private main (trunk service) and associated fittings, except the meter. Yarra Valley Water is responsible for maintaining the meter on each connected property, known as a 'property meter'.
Yarra Valley Water sometimes becomes aware of bursts and leaks on private water mains. This is often the result of private mains being poorly maintained. If the burst or leak is causing a hazard, we may need to temporarily turn off the supply to the private main. When the private main supply is turned off, we will issue a notice to the owner(s) of the private main requiring that they repair the main. If repairs are not completed in accordance with the notice's requirements, then Yarra Valley Water will complete the repairs and issue the owner(s) with a bill for the works.
If a private main bursts or leaks, the owner(s) will need to engage and pay for a plumber to repair the main. If you are unsure if your private main is shared with other properties, Yarra Valley Water may be able to assist in identifying the other connected properties. This is achieved by shutting off the private main at the ferrule to determine which customers are impacted.
To access Melbourne Water's property, you must obtain permission from Melbourne Water. Only authorised Yarra Valley Water Customer Service Officers are permitted to access Melbourne Water property, for the purpose of inspecting and reading meters.
Please contact Melbourne Water on 13 1722 to request permission to access their property. Melbourne Water requires five days notice to provide permission, however in the event of an emergency, contact Yarra Valley Water on 13 2762.
