Offering daily, weekly, and weekend specials, members may reserve a family RV at almost any time throughout the year. FTS’s popular 2013 Echo 25’ North Bay sleeps 4-5 people. With heating and air conditioning, families can camp comfortably in the heat of August or the chill of early spring and late fall. It also features an awning and indoor and outdoor speakers. These campers work well for road trips, camping up north, or a family get-together by the lake.

A year-round partnership with Fairway Ridge resort provides Fractional Toy Store members with luxury cabin rentals at up to 50% off normal rental prices. These charming rustic cabins are located next to the Giants Ridge Ski Resort which allows guests to ski and snowboard in the winter or golf, kayak, and hike in the summer. The cabin rental is perfect for a more sophisticated style of camping – surrounded by nature in all its beauty while finding a comfortable place to sleep at night. With three master bedrooms, a large bunkroom for the kids, a gourmet kitchen, a library, free Wi-Fi and Direct TV, members can truly relax without worrying about their wallets.

Whether members choose to commune with nature in a Minnesota RV or a luxury cabin, both camping styles are hassle-free. An RV trailer rental provides a refreshing outdoor experience without the inconveniences of maintenance and storage, while Minnesota cabin rentals make the ideal family vacation without the yearly burden of home repairs and yard work.

Fractional Toy Store is known for extraordinary service, a lower membership ratio, and price locks – all of which help its members find the toy they want and the vacation they deserve.

A Brief about His Holiness Dhyanyogi Omdasji Maharaj:

Dhyanyogi Omdasji is the third in line of the Illustrious Gurus of Kundalini Maha Yoga.

His Guru is Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji who brought the Kundalini Shaktipat and Yoga to the masses in India and West. And his Param Guru is Dhyanyogi Parameshwardasji who is reputed to be an immortal.

Dhyanyogi Omdasji was born into the Path of Yoga. His paternal and maternal relatives were great siddhas and yogis.

He is well known in the sadhu and saint community in India for he has lived with them during his childhood and is connected with them now too.

Before reaching the age of twenty, he was instrumental in conducting the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad and was the head of several Mutts. He gave up everything after he became the Gadipati of Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji. Quoting the words of Dhyanyogi Omdasji about his Guru: “the love and grace of Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji and the Honor of Gadipati that he has bestowed on me are the highest achievements I can attain”

Omdasji spent several years in spiritual practices and tapas to prepare himself to meet his Sadguru. His prayers were answered the day he met his Sadguru Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji.

Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji was among the greatest Kundalini Yogis born in India. The saint community in India equated his status to that of Shri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa. He was an adept who could transfer his own energy and awaken the Kundalini Shakti of another person by touch, mantra or even intent from distance. This awakening of the Kundalini Shakti is called Shaktipat.

Kundalini Shakti is the primordial energy or power which gives life to the human fetus at the seventh month in the mother’s womb and then goes to sleep at the base of the spinal column of the fetus. As long as the Kundalini Shakti is not awakened, man lives a materialistic life ensnared by his desires and ambitions. Only when the Kundalini Shakti is awakened and actively starts moving upwards towards the crown of the head, a human being is truly set on his return journey to Divinity.

Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji was old and needed a worthy successor. Even before meeting Omdasji, he knew that Omdasji was the rightful successor to Seat of the Guru. Later on he revealed to Omdasji how had in the past, mentally guided him to visit certain power spots and do spiritual practices and prepare himself for the day when they would both meet. Thus a truly worthy disciple received the Shaktipat from a great Master and Yogi.

Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji had appointed several teachers and bestowed on them rights to give Shaktipat and mantras to the beginners in the path and teach meditation. These teachers had limited capacities, abilities and powers. Only Omdasji was able to receive and hold all the powers and grace that his Guru transferred to him.

So on 14th July 1992, during the Guru Purnima celebrations, Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji anointed Omdasji as his Gadipati and successor in the Hansol Ashram in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. He declared that he had selected his spiritually most powerful, devoted and worthy disciple as his successor. The title of ‘DHYANYOGI’ was bestowed on Omdasji. This coronation ceremony was witnessed and attended by the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, heads of different religions, dignitaries, prominent citizens, members of the sadhu community and people from all walks of life.

In the midst of such a gathering of people and media, Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji spoke of the qualities of his successor and endorsed the spiritual heights obtained by Omdasji by publicly declaring: I bow down in reverence to this great ocean of knowledge of all Yogic Sciences and Scriptures, who is full of compassion and a fervent devotee of Shri Rama.

California Legislature Recognizes Museums, Snoopy License Plate to Fund Museums

Leave a comment

The California State Legislature unanimously passed a bill yesterday with bipartisan support to recognize the essential role that museums have in the State of California as educational institutions.

Santa Cruz, CA, May 27, 2014 – The California State Legislature unanimously passed a bill yesterday with bipartisan support to recognize the essential role that museums have in the State of California as educational institutions. This overwhelming endorsement complements a program underway to put the beloved beagle Snoopy on California license plates and help fund the state’s museums at the same time. In recognition of California Museums Month, Californians are invited to visit www.snoopyplate.com to pre-order their Snoopy license plates and support the vital work of museums in preserving and sharing our State’s culture and heritage.

Assembly member Ian Calderon (D-Whittier) introduced ACR 115 California Museums Month, a measure that designates May 2014 as California Museum Month and invites all Californians to recognize and celebrate the vital role museums serve as educational institutions. “California museums play an essential role in our state,” stated Assembly member Calderon in a press release. “They are not only the key drivers of tourism, but also an excellent source of educational programs that enhance a student’s learning experience.” Assembly member Calderon is the Chair of the Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism and Internet Media.

The license plate features a reproduction of an original drawing of Snoopy by Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz. Proceeds from sales will establish a competitive grant program to support California’s museums, administered by the California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE), a State entity.

In less than four months, over 3,800 Californians have pre-ordered the special interest license plate to support museums – which is more than half the number needed to establish the program. The Department of Motor Vehicles will begin issuing the Snoopy license plates upon receipt of 7,500 paid applications.

The Snoopy plate is also an opportunity to commemorate Santa Rosa cartoonist and cultural icon Charles Schulz. Jean Schulz, the widow of Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz, the Schulz family, and Peanuts Worldwide are generously allowing access to the original drawing for this special plate.

The California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) was established at the California State Library in 2003. AB 482 (Atkins) transferred the CCHE to the California Natural Resources Agency in 2014. CCHE grants have helped to preserve the many historic treasures that are California’s cultural legacy. Current funding for CCHE projects is from voter-approved Proposition 40 bonds from the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002. Approximately $122 million was appropriated to CCHE to distribute competitively for the acquisition, restoration, preservation and interpretation of historical and cultural resources. http://resources.ca.gov/cche/

The California Association of Museums (CAM) is a non-profit service organization representing the interests of California’s 1,400 museums, including art and history museums, aquariums, natural history museums, science centers, children’s museums, zoos, cultural centers, and botanical gardens. CAM assists California museums in fulfilling their missions as educational and research institutions that interpret and preserve art and cultural and scientific collections for public benefit. www.calmuseums.org

The PEANUTS characters and related intellectual property are owned by Peanuts Worldwide LLC, a joint venture owned 80% by Iconix Brand Group, Inc. and 20% by members of the Charles M. Schulz family. Iconix Brand Group, Inc. owns, licenses and markets a growing portfolio of consumer brands. The company licenses its brands to a network of leading retailers and manufacturers that touch every major segment of retail distribution from the luxury market to the mass market in both the U.S. and worldwide. Through its in-house business development, merchandising, advertising, and public relations departments Iconix manages its brands to drive greater consumer awareness and equity.

Monterey Program for Executive Health Adds New Screenings to its Executive Exam

Leave a comment

Dr. Geiler and Team Offer World-class Medicine In A World-Class Destination

Monterey, CA, May 27, 2014 — A distinctive program designed to give clients an efficient and comprehensive medical evaluation in one of the most coveted resort and golf destinations in the country, The Monterey Program for Executive Health approaches preventative medical care with patients’ time and comfort in mind. The elite physicians at The Monterey Program spend a full day with the patient to complete comprehensive screening, imaging and other advanced diagnostics—all in a sanctuary setting.

The program is the first executive health program in Northern California to add new screenings for:
Alzheimer screening. Dr. Geiler and his team are the first in Northern California to offer this advanced screening through an Executive Exam program.  Dr. Geiler and his team administer a blood test for Alzheimer’s disease that predicts with astonishing accuracy whether a healthy person will develop the disease

General dementia
Lung cancer screening. There is evidence that screening persons aged 55 to 74 years who have cigarette smoking histories of 30 or more pack-years and who, if they are former smokers, have quit within the last 15 years reduces lung cancer mortality by 20% and all-cause mortality by 6.7%.

Screening for Diabetes early markers
“Our goal at the Monterey Program is to help our clients fully understand their medical picture, so they can convert that knowledge into action,” Dr. Geiler says.  “In addition to undergoing the most advanced diagnostics in the medical industry, the client is given a comprehensive risk-factor assessment that analyzes family and patient medical histories and current lifestyle habits. Experienced, licensed professionals evaluate the status of patients’ nutrition and fitness levels and work with the physicians to create tailored lifestyle suggestions that integrate seamlessly into their often busy daily routines. The client and doctor will then work together to develop a personalized wellness plan that includes a discussion of risk factors and illness prevention.

When the evaluation is complete, the client receives an extensive, customized medical report with a health profile, results, interpretations and recommendations for follow-up care. This detailed report of the patient’s evaluation is conveniently stored as a digital file on a small flash drive.

As an additional service, the Monterey Program offers corporate packages for businesses to provide to their top executive officers. The program can turn essential preventative care into a productive and relaxing corporate retreat.

Monterey Program For Executive Health Concierge Services:
The Monterey Program is unlike any other executive health program, as it offers more than just a superior medical evaluation—it offers an invaluable wellness experience.

From the moment a client arrives at the Monterey Regional Airport, their personal concierge provides transportation to one of our outstanding hospitality partners. On the day of their executive physical, the client’s personal concierge escorts them to the hospital and remains their guide throughout their day of wellness.

Not only does the friendly team on concierge and the Monterey Program manage all aspects of the executive evaluation, they are eager to make clients’ retreats memorable by helping them discover the splendor of the Monterey Bay Area. This stunning region, where the mountains taper down to the shore, provides an abundance of hiking trails, bicycling paths and other recreational activities such as golfing, kayaking and diving. If golf is a priority, The Monterey Program is a proud partner of Pebble Beach Golf Links, the site of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and one of the most visually stunning courses in the world.

The Monterey Program is located on the campus of top-rated Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP), which is nestled in the lush Del Monte Forest.  CHOMP is a fully accredited hospital honored by Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award for 2 years in a row (2011-2012), in addition to its 100 Best Hospitals for: Cardiac Surgery (2012-2013), Orthopedic Surgery (2012-2013), and Spine Surgery (2012).

Hardware Upgrade: SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Volkswagen EOS by Mods4cars

Leave a comment

The aftermarket SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller made by Mods4cars for Volkswagen EOS now comes equipped with a new module enclosure. Among other features, the SmartTOP module allows one-touch operation of the convertible top while driving at slow speeds as well as controlling the top from the original factory key fob remote.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), May 26th, 2014 — Aftermarket automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars revamped the design of the SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller modules. Just in time for the upcoming convertible season 2014 the SmartTOP module for Volkswagen EOS received the facelift product enclosure. The enclosure was exclusively and custom designed by Mods4cars for this product.

“The new design is not just an improvement in esthetics. It also makes installation much easier for our customers” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. The new enclosure houses two LEDs that show current status, correct connections or trouble codes during installation. “Additionally the new SmartTOP enclosure is 30% smaller in volume and slimmer. Therefore it can be installed a lot easier in tight spaces.” Sven Tornow continues.

“We are happy to announce that we were able to make installation of our SmartTOP aftermarket kit for the VW EOS easier yet again.” Sven Tornow concludes. A while back the outfit introduced a plug-and-play wiring adapter. This adapter was also custom designed and allows installing the module by simply connecting a few plugs with the car electronics. It uses perfect fit connectors with secure latches to ensure a tight fit while preventing any kind of wrong connection.

The SmartTOP Convertible Top Control module for Volkswagen EOS allows owners to open and close the top while driving at slow speeds (user programmable up to 44 km/h / 28mph) using convenient one-touch operation. It is no longer necessary to pull over and hold down the top switch. SmartTOP customers get both hands back on the steering wheel a lot faster.

Additionally it is possible to control the top from a distance by just using the supplied factory remote fobs. Walking toward their EOS, customers can already start opening the top and drive off with the top down. Sudden rainfall is no longer a reason to run to the car, instead the top can be conveniently closed from a distance.

Along with these two main features there is a host of bonus features present in the module, all of which are user programmable. It is possible to separately control the windows from the remote, activate a quick chirp signal when locking or unlocking the car and the hazard blinkers can be activated during remote operation.

The direction of the top switch can be reversed and it is possible to override the trailer lockout and use the top with attached trailer. A park assist feature lowers the passenger mirror when in reverse and starting or stopping the engine will not stop an ongoing top operation when in extended mode. The entire module can also be temporarily disabled while retaining all user settings.

All features can be configured and the product can be updated via USB connection and PC/Mac computer software available free of charge online. Updates for the product firmware are also free of charge for the life of the product.

The SmartTOP kit for Volkswagen EOS is available for 249 Euro + tax.

Kits are also available for the following popular brands: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Leave a comment

* Cotton Yarn exports meeting their target. * During the 10 month period of April’13 – Jan’14, India exported 1082 million kgs of Cotton Yarn worth US $ 3.75 billion. Full year figure likely to be at 1350 mn kgs valued at US $ 4.70 billion.

Mumbai, India, May 24, 2014 — A study conducted by The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council, (Texprocil) has revealed that India’s Cotton Yarns exports are meeting their targets barring the seasonal fluctuations generally witnessed every April and inspite of high raw cotton prices. Statistics revealed by TEXPROCIL show that India exported 1,082 mn kgs of cotton yarn valued at US$ 3.75 billion in the first 10 months (April – January) of fiscal year 2013-14. It is estimated that cotton yarn export for the full fiscal year 2013-14 would be around 1,350 mn kgs valued at US$ 4.70 billion. The high quality of Indian yarn is ensuring firm orders for Indian Mills from the international markets.

Exports of cotton yarn dropped during last three years in the month of April and it happened in 2014 too. One of the reasons, in addition to the high year end exports which cause a drop in April, is the temporary high cotton prices during this period. Last year as well as this year during the month of March and April Indian cotton prices have gone above the international prices for cotton upto 40s count. Current Indian prices are higher than international prices and good quantity imports of 1 1/8 inch cotton are taking place.

There is an increasing anxiety in the industry due to recent developments in Chinese cotton policy since China is the major importer of cotton and cotton yarn from India. Presently, the price difference between Indian & Chinese Cotton is quite high with the Indian yarn selling at much lower rates. In fact, prices of Indian cotton yarns after payment of duty and taxes in China are still very much lower than the Chinese domestic yarn prices.

Says Mr Manikam Ramaswami, Chairman, Texprocil, “Given the better quality produced by Indian mills there will always be good exports of Indian yarns taking place, even if the difference between Chinese cotton prices and international cotton prices narrows down substantially. Indian mills need not fear a drop in Yarn exports happening beyond the seasonal fluctuations. However profitability of exports will depend upon our price parity with International cotton prices.”

Established in 1954 as an autonomous, nonprofit body dedicated to promotion of exports, TEXPROCIL facilitates the exports from India of Raw Cotton, Cotton Yarns and Blended Yarns, Woven and Knitted fabrics, Home Textiles and Technical textiles. The Council provides export promotional services to over 3,500 members including composite mills, spinning units, weaving units, knitting units, process houses and merchant exporters who collectively generate billions of dollars of turnover.
