Cool California

Hollywood executive and winery owner Frank Rich says the movie and wine businesses have plenty in common -- especially as this year's late California harvest has winemakers waiting in the wings for grapes to ripen.

Both of California's famed industries require big up-front investments, significant sales and marketing budgets, and are heavily dependent on star power -- whether from a smoldering starlet or a complex Cabernet Sauvignon grape.
"The difference is that grapes don't talk back. Although, sometimes they show up late -- as we're seeing this year," said the former Walt Disney Studios president and current owner of Frank Family Vineyards in Napa Valley, which sells wine for $30 a bottle and more.
Growers around the Golden State are harvesting grapes later than usual this year. The take is anticipated to be smaller than normal, due to heavy spring rains and the second summer in a row of cooler-than-normal temperatures.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture is forecasting 2011 wine grape production of 3.30 million tons, down 9 percent from 3.63 million tons in 2010.
California's unusually mild 2011 weather is expected to have intensified flavors in surviving grapes, which should result in higher quality.
So far, California's harvest of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc all have been below long-term average yields per acre, said Steve Fredricks, president of Turrentine Brokerage, which specializes in bulk wine and grape sales.
The shortfall may put upward pressure on prices, particularly for wines in the $2 to $4 bottle range, he said.
After paying more for grapes, producers of those wines "are going to have less of a desire to sell it at that price," Fredricks said.
Rich, who now is launching TheOnlineNetwork.com and is an executive producer on shows like USA Network's "Royal Pains", says his yields so far have been mixed.
The Chardonnay harvest has been light, but the winery has more Sangiovese than ever before, said Rich.
Despite the smaller harvest, Frank Family Vineyards' winemaker Todd Graff said he is increasing production 50 percent to 60,000 cases to meet what he sees as rising demand.
Graff, who tends three vineyards totaling more than 260 acres around Napa Valley, plans to get there by buying grapes from other growers.
"This year we plan to grow (production) a lot, even with the lighter crop," said Graff, who recently boosted his own Hollywood credentials when he helped "Royal Pains" writers find winery equipment that could be used by the show's star -- a so-called "medical MacGyver" -- to save lives.

Posh Bingo

posh bingoEnglish author and bookmakers' favourite Julian Barnes finally won the Man Booker Prize for fiction on Tuesday, despite once dismissing the coveted award as "posh bingo".
The 65-year-old triumphed with "The Sense of an Ending", which at 150 pages was described by one review as a "novella".
It was his fourth time on the Booker shortlist -- Barnes was previously nominated for "Flaubert's Parrot" in 1984, "England, England" in 1998 and "Arthur and George" in 2005.
Stella Rimington, a former British spy chief who chaired the panel of judges this year, told reporters, "We thought that it was a book which, though short, was incredibly concentrated, and crammed into this very short space a great deal of information you don't get out of a first reading.
"It's one of these books, a very readable book, if I may use that word, but readable not only once but twice and even three times."
Ion Trewin, administrator of the prize, said it was not the shortest work to win the Booker. That honour goes to Penelope Fitzgerald's "Offshore" which came in at 132 pages in 1979.
Barnes, who has been critical of the prize in the past, said he was relieved to have won at the fourth attempt.
In his acceptance speech at a glitzy awards ceremony in London's medieval Guildhall, he likened himself to Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, considered one of the greatest authors never to have won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
"Borges, when asked, as he continually was, why he had never won the Nobel Prize, always used to reply that 'In Sweden there was a small cottage industry solely devoted to not giving Borges the Nobel Prize'.
"And at times over the last years, in occasional moments of mild paranoia, I wondered whether there wasn't perhaps some similar sister organisation operating over here.
"So I am as much relieved as I am delighted to receive the 2011 Booker Prize."
SALES BOOST EXPECTED
Barnes received a cheque for 50,000 pounds ($80,000), a flurry of media attention and, perhaps most importantly, a major boost in sales.
"Writers it tends to drive mad with hope and lust and greed and expectation," he told reporters after receiving the award.
"I was saying that the best way to stay sane is to treat it as if it's posh bingo. That is ... until you win it, when you realise that the judges are the wisest heads in literary Christendom."
Rimington and her judges came under fire in recent weeks for stressing the importance of "readability" when judging the winner, a term interpreted by some as dumbing down one of English-language fiction's top accolades.
Writers from the Commonwealth, Ireland and Zimbabwe are eligible.
The sniping in the narrow world of British "literati" even led to a rival award being set up to champion what its backers said was a more high-brow approach to writing.
Rimington defended her stance, arguing that entertainment and literary criticism were not mutually exclusive.
"We were not talking about only readability as some of you seem to have thought," she told reporters.
"We were talking about readability and quality. You can have more than one adjective when you are talking about books."
Asked whether she had been bothered by the media debate in the run-up to the announcement, she replied:
"I've had a long life in various different careers, and I've been through many crises of one kind or another (against) which this one pales, I must say."
The Sense of an Ending, published by Random House, tells the story of Tony, a seemingly ordinary man who discovers that his memories are not as reliable as he thought.

Friend Uses Real Pistol As Toy

A 10-year-old boy was accidentally shot dead by his 12-year-old neighbour with a firearm while they were playing cop and thief in west Delhi, police said Monday.

Chandan, a Class 6 student, was shot dead Saturday night in Raghubir Nagar by his friend, police said.
Chandan's friend has been sent to an observation home and his father Ram Chander and another person have been arrested, police said.
Police said the children were playing on the ground floor of the building, in which their families lived on rent, when Chandan's friend picked up a home-made pistol lying in a bag and shot him during the course of their game.
The landlord of the house saw Chandan lying on the ground and informed his family. Chandan's parents rushed him to hospital.
'The doctors first thought it was a normal head injury but later found bullet marks on the head,' said V. Renganathan, additional commissioner of police.
It was when Chandan succumbed to his injuries that police were informed and the investigation was launched.
Police said the boy who shot Chandan told his family members about the incident but they destroyed the evidence.
'When Chandan's family was at the hospital, his friend's father Ram Chander and his friend Mukesh washed the blood stains and threw away the pistol,' said a police officer.
Ram Chander, who hails from Azamgarh, came to Delhi six months ago and was working with a dairy in Rajouri Garden area. 'His friend Mukesh had come to his house and the pistol belongs to him. We are checking his previous records,' the officer added.
'We have arrested Chander and Mukesh and the boy who fired the bullet has been apprehended and sent to an observation home,' Renganathan added.

Man held

A 58-year-old man was arrested here for cheating around 4,000 people across India by inducing them to make investments in his company, police said Monday.

Akhtar Ansari, resident of Pant Nagar in south Delhi, was arrested Sunday, Additional Commissioner of Police Ajay Chaudhry said, adding they had received a total of 465 complaints against him already and more were coming in.
Ansari created a website of 'Anjak Overseas', which claimed that his family 'has been a major business group in British Colombia (Canada) for 30 years'.
On the website, names of companies like Anjak Finance and Investment Limited, Source India Corporation, A.D.M. Films, K.A. Films, Anjak Group of Hotels, Iron Mines, Anjak Department Store, Anjak Best Products Inc. Super Market, Anjak Mumbai, Anjak S.P.A. and Anjak Delhi were mentioned.
On enquiry from different government agencies, police found that companies listed on the website had never done any kind of business and were projected only for inducement.
Ansari used to allure people by misrepresenting that they would pay them 20 percent assured return per month on the investment made by them in his company.
This assurance came out to be false as he deducted 5 percent administration charges and 10 percent tax deducted at source (TDS) out of 20 percent money paid, police said.
Initially, Ansari used to contact people on their phones and Facebook profiles, said Chaudhry.
The company has roped in as many as 4,000 clients in several parts of the country and duped them of Rs.3.5 crore, he said.
Ansari also used to give lavish parties for promotion of his company at different hotels and clubs.
Ansari told police that after seeing the website, people contacted his office at Preet Vihar in east Delhi where people met his co-associate Israr Ahmed. Ahmed is still absconding.
Later, they shifted their office to Azadpur in north Delhi. On June 4, they again shifted to Noida in Uttar Pradesh to avoid investors' queries.
Ansari used to receive money at all the three offices as well as at his residence.
'Two bags full of banks statements, a tree chart of the investors, chequebooks and passbooks of various bank accounts, ATM cards and passport of Ansari were seized,' said Chaudhry adding that they are still receiving complaints against Ansari from various parts of the country.

European bank decision

A decision by European central banks to support the region's financial system helped calm Asian markets, setting off a rally across the region in Friday trading.
The focus is now shifting to talks in Poland between U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and his European counterparts, which run through Saturday, about coordinating efforts to prevent Europe's debt crisis from derailing a global recovery.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 2.1 percent to 8,847.13 in afternoon trading, while South Korea's Kospi advanced 3.9 percent to 1,843.60. Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 2.1 percent to 19,591.93.
The news also set off a rally in U.S. stocks overnight, with the Dow Jones industrial average rising 1.7 percent to close at 11,433.18. The Standard & Poor's 500 index climbed 1.7 percent to 1,209.11.
But analysts said the rebound was likely temporary as debt woes had not been fixed.
"On a longer term basis, you still have significant issues with too much debt, too much debt in the European area, too much debt in the U.S. as well," said Samuel Le Cornu, portfolio manager at Macquarie Funds Group in Hong Kong.
"The markets rally today I think is very short term in nature, but it does underpin the thematic at the moment and that is uncertainty and volatility as a function of uncertainty," he said.
Worries about European banks' borrowing problems, a key element in the region's debt crisis, have been hanging over global markets in recent weeks, especially about the cash-strapped governments in Greece and Italy.
But the European Central Bank, the U.S. Federal Reserve and three other central banks said Thursday they would provide European banks with unlimited dollar loans.
In currencies, the dollar strengthened to 76.77 yen from 76.64 yen late in New York on Thursday. The euro fell to $1.3874 from $1.3889.
Benchmark oil for October delivery was up 16 cents at $89.56 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract added 49 cents to finish Thursday at $89.40 per barrel.
In London, Brent crude for October delivery was up 60 cents at $112.90 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Normal In Past Week

India's monsoon rains were one percent above normal in the week to Sept. 14, weakening from 39 percent above average in the previous week, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday, easing concerns heavy rains could damage planted crops.

Withdrawal of the June to September monsoon could now happen after Sept. 25, a source at the IMD said.
"Heavy rains in some pockets of the eastern region resulted in floods but now things have settled down," said the source.
"There is no sign of the withdrawal of the monsoon as yet," said B.P. Yadav, director of forecasting at the weather office.
The monsoon rains have so far been three percent above long-term averages since the start of the season, in line with the weather office's latest forecast of a normal monsoon in 2011, which means rains of 96 to 104 percent of a long-term average.
India's monsoon rains are crucial to crop production in 60 percent of the country that does not have adequate irrigation.
Normal rains so far over major crop producing regions have helped planting of summer crops like rice, cane and oilseeds, and boosted prospects for their output.
Output of summer-planted grains is expected at 123.88 million tonnes, Farm Minister Sharad Pawar said on Wednesday, releasing the first of the four forecasts for the 2011/12 crop year.

Passenger: Was cuffed

A US woman said Tuesday that she endured nearly four hours in police custody that included being forced off an airplane in handcuffs, strip-searched and interrogated at Detroit's airport on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — all, she believes, because of her Middle Eastern appearance.
Shoshana Hebshi, 35, told The Associated Press she was one of three people removed from a Denver-to-Detroit Frontier Airlines flight after landing Sunday afternoon. Authorities say fighter jets escorted the plane after its crew reported that two people were spending a long time in a bathroom — the two men sitting next to Hebshi in the 12th row.
Hebshi said she didn't notice how many times the men went to the bathroom. "I wasn't keeping track," she said.
"I really wasn't paying attention," said Hebshi, a freelance writer, editor and stay-at-home mother of twin six-year-old boys who lives in a suburb of Toledo, Ohio. "I was minding my own business — sleeping, reading, playing on my phone."
The FBI has said the three didn't know each other. One man felt ill and got up to use the restroom and another man in the same row also left his seat to go to the bathroom. The FBI said they never were inside together.
Hebshi has written extensively on her blog about the incident, saying she felt "violated, humiliated and sure that I was being taken from the plane simply because of my appearance."
Hebshi, who describes herself as half-Arabic, half-Jewish with a dark complexion, told the AP after they landed, she noticed police first surrounding, then storming the plane. She said she was surprised when they stopped at her row and ordered her and the men to get up.
Her Twitter posts from Sunday bear that out. At one point, she wrote: "A little concerned about this situation. Plane moved away from terminal surrounded by cops. Crew is mum. Passengers can't get up."
Later she wrote, "I see stairs coming our way...yay!" Her last post said, "Majorly armed cops coming aboard."
It's then than she says the officers ordered her and the men, whom she described as Indian, to get up.
She said she was patted down and taken by car to a holding cell. A uniformed female officer eventually came in and told Hebshi to take off her clothes.
After the strip search, another officer who identified herself as a Homeland Security agent led Hebshi to another room, Hebshi said. There, a man who identified himself as an FBI agent asked her a series of questions while a female agent took notes, Hebshi said.
Hebshi said that when she asked what was going on, the male agent told her someone on the plane reported that she and the men on her row were "conducting suspicious activity."
FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said the three passengers were questioned but not arrested before the FBI determined there was no reason to suspect or hold them. She also said FBI agents who questioned the passengers were not involved in any strip searches.
"We received a report of suspicious activity on that particular plane," Berchtold said. "We did not arrest ... these passengers. ... We didn't direct anybody to arrest them."
Airport police are under the supervision of the Wayne County Airport Authority, which operates Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
In an email to the AP, agency spokesman Scott Wintner said airport police "responded appropriately by following protocol and treating everyone involved with respect and dignity. "
Wintner said the decision on how to respond was a call made by the Airport Authority's CEO, who he said is Arab-American.
Hebshi said that finally, after being fingerprinted and allowed to call her husband, she was told she and the men were being released and that nothing suspicious was found on the plane. She said an official apologized and thanked her for understanding and cooperating.
Hebshi said she received another call of apology from an FBI agent Monday, before she wrote her blog post.
"I can understand they were just doing their job," she told the AP. "My beef is with these laws and regulations that are so hypersensitive. ... Even if you're an innocent bystander, you have no rights."
AP left email and phone messages seeking comment Tuesday night with Frontier.
The flight was one of two for which fighter jets were scrambled Sunday after crews reported suspicious activity on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, officials said. In both cases, it involved bathroom use. In neither case did authorities find anything to substantiate the suspicions.
On American Airlines flight 34 from Los Angeles, three passengers who made repeated trips to the bathroom were cleared after the plane safely landed at New York's Kennedy Airport.
Also Sunday, a GoJet Airlines flight bound for Washington was still on the runway in St. Louis when the pilot returned the aircraft to the gate and requested all passengers be re-screened after crew found paper towels stuffed in a toilet, according to a United Airlines spokesman. GoJet is a regional carrier for United.

Hazare's Fight

Bollywood actors Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif extended their support to the ongoing nationwide protest against corruption being spearheaded by veteran social activist Anna Hazare.

During a promotional event in Ahmedabad, the actors applauded the campaign led by Hazare.

"I think that everyone should do what they can or for the fight against corruption and everyone should do it in the way they feel best and solution should be long term; this should be of benefit to every common person, should help everyone, should help the citizens of this country and every one should contribute in the way they feel best," said Katrina Kaif.

Meanwhile, Khan said that he was happy to see the active participation of the youth in the campaign.

"This movement has made me happy for one reason and that is the youth of the country have got involved. India is a very young country, most of the population is under the age of 35 and in reality the youth has not been motivated or involved lately. Today when I see that the youth is getting involved, they actually care that yes corruption is a problem and we need to do something about it, I feel very happy and proud. I feel good and this gives me a lot of hope," said Imran Khan.

Khan added that if time permits, he would also like to get associated with the national campaign against corruption.

Hazare has been on fast since August 16, the day he was arrested and taken to Tihar Jail. He was released the same day, but he refused to leave Tihar Jail. He shifted to Ramlila Ground here on August 19 where he has been continuing with his fast.

Zindagi Na Milegi Fir Dobara

After enjoying a madcap image of youth in 'Delhi Belly', it's time to take a fun-filled trip with another bunch of guys - Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol in the exotic locales of Spain in 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', which releases Friday.
If city-centric 'Delhi Belly' took a peep into the lives of a section of youngsters through three friends, 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' too is an urban drama where three friends venture out to have some fun time together.
Directed by Farhan's sister Zoya Akhtar and produced under the banner Excel Entertainment, 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' is about a holiday that changes the lives of three best friends - Arjun (Hrithik), Imraan (Farhan) and Kabir's (Abhay) forever.
The film was previously titled 'Running With The Bulls' but the name was later changed to the present one. It is the second directorial venture of Zoya after critically acclaimed 'Luck By Chance'.
Kabir, a wealthy young man who works with his father's construction company in Mumbai, is engaged to Natasha (Kalki Koechlin), daughter of a hotelier. Kabir wants to go on an extended bachelor party with his best friends Arjun, and Imraan, before he ties the knot with her and invites them to join him.
London-based Arjun is a financial trader who works at a huge firm. As he grew up without a father and lived a tough life, so his entire focus is to get bigger, better and faster, while Imraan is a copywriter who works at an advertising agency in Delhi.
When Kabir offers to take them on a vacation, Imraan readily agrees, but Arjun is reluctant as he is too tied up in his work. However, after much cajoling he agrees and thus starts their Spain sojourn.
All three meet up in Barcelona and set off on an adventure that helps them iron out their differences, get rid of their fears and alter their perception about various things in life. The holiday turns out to be a lesson in life for them and force them to break out of the box. The three-week journey changes their lives forever.
As luck would have it, Laila, played by Katrina Kaif, a bohemian fashion student from London is also there. She takes time off to teach diving every year and this time she decided to do it in Spain, where she meets Arjun, Imraan and Kabir.
The mega-budget film has been extensively shot in Barcelona, Pamplona, Bunyol, Andalucia, Egypt and Mumbai.
The La Tomatina festival of Spain was re-created for the shoot of the song 'Ik Junoon'. It was shot in Bunyol, Valenci, in Spain. Almost 16 tons of tomatoes were used for the shoot and were flown in from Portugal. The film has already created a lot of buzz with its songs and promos.
After a long time Abhay got an opportunity to work in a mainstream commercial film and it also gave him a chance to make good friends with his co-stars Farhan and Hrithik in real-life. While shooting for the film, the three did some adventure sports like skydiving and scuba-diving.
Zoya has also made the three lead actors of the film sing a song 'Senorita', composed by trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, is a rage among people.

Hrithik, Katrina, Farhan to drive from Mumbai to Delhi

ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA stars are truly living up to the title of their film by doing the unthinkable! When a cast as heavy as Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol , Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin decide to go on an adventure road trip from Mumbai to Delhi, it shows that they surely want to live it up and 'let themselves go'.
The stars will be driving through India stopping at various cities en route, Gujarat and Rajasthan being two major states. As per the plan they will do the driving bit as much as possible on their own to get the real and the raw feel of the road trip. After all, covering a distance of roughly 1500 kms. will be quite a task. The journey will flag off on Thursday, 7th July from Bandra, Mumbai and will end on 10th July in Gurgaon where the star cast will be performing at a live public concert.
Ritesh Sidhwani, the producer says, "This film is about a bachelor trip that the three boys decide to go on. And now we are gearing up to relive the experience once again." ZNMD is about living each moment like there would be no second chance. The film is all set to hit the theatres on 15th July.

MTV Movie Award

Viewership for the MTV Movie Awards dropped for the second year as the show once again offered a raw mix of A-list celebrities and X-rated humor. The two-hour live telecast drew 4.5 million viewers on Sunday evening, down from 4.6 million last year, MTV said in a statement. Viewership peaked at 7.1 million in 2002 and subsequently went as low as 3.0 million in 2008. F-bombs and naughty humor proliferated as the third "Twilight" movie took home the top awards, just as its predecessors did in previous years. Presenter Justin Timberlake cupped the breasts of his "Friends With Benefits" co-star Mila Kunis, who responded by grabbing his crotch. "Twilight" hunk Robert Pattinson engaged in a lip-lock with co-star Taylor Lautner. Host Jason Sudeikis directed a joke about oral sex to mortified teen actress Selena Gomez, while the daredevil stars of "Jackass" were part of a segment featuring homoerotic references to Donald Trump. Even southern belle Reese Witherspoon got in on the potty-mouthed act as she accepted a lifetime achievement award.

Anandi To Reach Jagya's College

A source says, "Anandi will reach at Jagdish's college to pay a surprise visit to him on his birthday. Anandi thinks Jagya will be happy to see her. But it would be a difficult situation for Jagdish once he comes face to face with Anandi. She in turn will spot him with Gauri and will feel odd about Jagdish's attitude. Jagdish manages to cover up the situation by introducing them to each other as his friends; both of them will interact with each other nicely.
"Jagdish then expresses his displeasure over Anandi calling him Jagdish instead of Jagat in front of his friends. Anandi and Gauri's conversation goes smoothly without either of them getting to know about Jagdish's secret. However, his friends will play spoilsport as they unknowingly inform Anandi about Jagdish and Gauri's relationship. It will be a huge blow for her. We are yet to decide whether Anandi will bear this pain and trust Jagya's friends or not."
Shashank says, "Yes, Jagdish is going to celebrate his birthday and Anandi suddenly arrives in his college. He will be able to hide the truth from Anandi and Gauri for some time, but not for long."

Benefits of yoga

Austrian-born Hedwig Muellner started doing Yoga after she slipped a disc in her back. Muellner credits Yoga for getting her back on the road to recovery. At 78, she still does Yoga every morning despite having had a pacemaker for the last ten years. 'Namaste', let's begin our Yoga class. Since bygone days when many Indians wandered in the mountains to meditate for days on end, people have been practicing Yoga, with the goal of attaining inner happiness and reaching a higher level of consciousness. The technique of attaining and experiencing the higher states of consciousness via mediation subsequently became known as Yoga. To this day the writings and teachings of the 'Father of Yoga', Pathanjali, can be found in ancient Sanskrit texts and religious works. "Indian people would go into the mountains and meditate for days sitting in the one posture," said Dr Anju Varghese, instructor of Yoga at Pilates and More Women's Health Club in Kuwait. After attaining this higher level of consciousness they would be able to leave their body. They believed that they needed to find happiness and this was the way to do it," said Varghese. "They finally realized that happiness is found within ourselves. Once a person finds their inner happiness then everything will come to them". Varghese explained that once Pathanjali had reached this realization for himself he wanted to be able to teach others to find their own inner happiness and set about developing the physical movements and postures which are now collectively known as Yoga. Varghese says that it is rare these days to find someone who will sit for days on end in the one posture. For people to attain the things they want in life, she says, people have to live in the 'here and now.' Yoga is a union between the body, mind and soul," said Varghese. "Today too many people only think of the physical wants such as money and power, never thinking of anything more. World Yoga Day January 30th is World Yoga Day where millions of people around the world will join in a one hour yoga session devoted to human rights. "The purpose of World Yoga Day is to have everyone thinking and meditating on something that serves a higher purpose than themselves," said Varghese. Project 2011 focuses on bringing water and sanitation to the people of Ethiopia. The aim of World Yoga Day is that as many nations as possible will come together to participate in a 24-hour yoga marathon where donations of tuition fees will go towards Project 2011. Benefits of yoga Dr Femi William, who is also a Yoga instructor at Pilates and More, says the benefits of Yoga are experienced on three levels: physical, mental and spiritual. "On the physical side your muscles, joints and ligaments all benefit from yoga," explains William, adding, "Everything will be stretched to become flexible and strong". William also claims that internal systems such as the nervous system and internal organs will also benefit from the stimulation provided by Yoga exercises. "Yoga helps the body to enhance the positive things in your body to remain inside while the negative toxins and energies will be expelled," said William. "It is a complete detoxification routine. On the mental level the instructors agree that Yoga enhances general wellbeing, inducing a positive mood, increasing concentration levels and enhancing one's powers of understanding. They say that when a person begins to experience a rise in these positive aspects it leads to their being a happier person. Yoga versus other exercise regimes William says that while yoga encompasses the body, mind, and soul many other forms of exercise don't. "As an example, Pilates is very good for the physical side or the body," she says. "While it has many moves similar to yoga they are also very different." Yoga is a 'parasympathetic' exercise that works to increase relaxation, she explains, while Pilates is solely 'sympathetic,' working only to stimulate the body. In Pilates you perform the exertion of the exercise while breathing out, as with many other forms of exercise, using the mouth and nose," said William. "However, with yoga you inhale during the exertion and only through the nose". She also claims that with Yoga there is less strain during a session which leads to greater positive Karma. An exercise for all Anyone can do yoga, regardless of age, sex, race or levels of fitness. Even pregnant women can perform yoga postures, albeit in a modified form. William, who is currently six months pregnant, revealed that she still practices yoga every day. In the first trimester you have to modify any kind of exercise, including yoga," she told the Kuwait Times. "However, in the second trimester you can go back to regular sessions. As you get bigger the postures are modified to accommodate the growing stomach. In the last month of pregnancy we concentrate more on the meditation side rather than performing postures in order to get ready for the birth". In everyday life people perform yoga, whether they realize it or not. From the very young to the elderly yoga is practiced the world over. "I started yoga classes in 1975 with a Filipino Yogi here in Kuwait," said Muellner. "I would attend his classes two or three times per week. After a while he left Kuwait saying he'd return, but he didn't". For the next two years Muellner continued practicing Yoga by herself and learning new postures. Some of my friends who also did yoga suggested I start teaching it myself," explains Muellner. "I spoke with the Recreation Manager at the Hilton Hotel where we used to do our classes and he said, 'What a good idea.' So I started teaching". Muellner taught yoga classes from 1977 to 1987 in Kuwait during which time she travelled to India attending many Ashrams. Traditionally, an Ashram is a religious setting in which to practice yoga. Ashrams are usually located far from heavily populated areas, in forest or mountain regions. They take advantage of the refreshing natural surroundings, which are conducive to spiritual instruction and meditation. In 1984 Muellner gained her Siddha Yoga Course certification. She attributes her continuing good health to her dedication to practicing yoga. Although she now wears a pacemaker, Muellner says she believes that a brief break from yoga could have been behind a decline in her health. "Since I got the first pacemaker I have returned to Yoga and I haven't had any major problems," she added. "Every day I practice yoga before breakfast and take a one-hour walk in the afternoon". Muellner says that Yoga has benefitted her in keeping very physically flexible, increasing her blood circulation and helping to keep her joints supple, especially in her back. She explains that suffering a slipped disc years ago whilst playing tennis first started her off with Yoga. "Since I started yoga my back problem has disappeared," said Muellner. "I also do meditation as well for good mental health". Muellner says her age has not stopped her from performing all yoga positions, although she adds she's had to give up doing headstands for a while because of a small problem in her neck. Once this has cleared up, she asserts, she'll be back to doing headstands again. Yoga in Kuwait Varghese and William say that whilst awareness of yoga is very high in Kuwait, the awareness of its full benefits have yet to be realized. "We have a high demand for yoga classes not only in the gym but also private sessions in the home," said William. In support of World Yoga Day, Pilates and More are holding a comprehensive yoga workshop to rejuvenate the body, cleanse the mind, and awaken the soul. There are many forms of yoga classes available, including Vedic Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, various meditation practices and even Laughing Therapy. Laughing therapy involves various postures and facial expressions. To begin with the laugh is often forced. As the class progresses the laugh becomes a natural reaction relaxing the muscles and, its proponents claim, causing the brain to emit Alpha waves, leading to a happier mood. As the classes come to a conclusion participants are sent off with a prayer of peace, Om Shanti.
