Paris Motor Show

The stunning Audi A3-based saloon at Geneva motor show

Audi is all set to display a concept model of its 2.5-litre, 408bhp, turbocharged, five-cylinder A3-based saloon at the Geneva motor show next week. The car's powertrain is the same as the one under the hood of the Quattro concept we saw at last year's Paris motor show.

The new concept draws heavily from Volkswagen's latest Jetta and suits coupe loving emerging markets. The car's looks are defined by a prominent six-corner, single-frame grille, angular headlamps, LED graphics, high waistline, well designed boot and horizontal tail lamps. A number of these design elements are seen in other Audi models Audi A3, A6 and A7. As for the car's dimensions – it is shorter than the Jetta by 188mm in length at 4440mm and 260mm shorter than the Audi A4 saloon. The car's four-door production version is likely to have the very same dimensions.In India, Audi is seeing some success with its R8 and is now reportedly planning to launch the new RS5 Coupe with a price tag of Rs 1 crore. The R8 is powered by a 4.2-litre V8 motor capable of delivering 444bhp at 8250rpm with max torque of 43.96kgm at 4000rpm. The car does the 0 to 100kmph sprint in 4.6 seconds and touches the top speed of 250kph.

It is an all wheel drive with vehicle fitted with a seven-speed DSG unit. The RS5 comes with Audi's drive select system as standard allowing the driver to switch between three modes of operation – comfort, auto, and dynamic. The car has 19-inch wheels as standard and 20-inch rims as optional and is scheduled to be available in the Indian market by the second-half of 2011.

Bristol Firework Events - November 2010

Bristol Firework Events

Winter "drawers" on or at least some fur lined boots might be preferable.  The nights are longer and the leaves begin to fall, that sharp nip in the air is getting sharper, yes, autumn has arrived. With a big sigh we put away our summer clothes and remember the great summer we had in Bristol with the Harbour, Balloon, and Kite Festivals together with the anniversary  celebrating  the return of the SS Great Britain plus much, much more, what a summer!

However, this is Bristol and the entertainment doesn't stop just because the weather changes, no, we have Guy Fawkes Night on the horizon with firework displays all over Bristol on the 5th of November and on days either side. With all the deaths and injuries making the news over the last decades it is far better and less expensive to take the family to see an organised event where hot drinks and food are provided. Many of these organisers spend thousands on their fireworks so it is bound to be a better display than one can put on at home unless, of course, you are a millionaire.

Activ Bristol have listed below many of the events in and around Bristol where displays can be enjoyed safely but if a home display is planned please follow the firework code at the bottom of this page.

It is very unfortunate that the usually massive display on ‘The Downs' has been cancelled due to a funding problem; the organisers, Bristol Round Table and Clifton Rotary  did not raise enough money last year to cover costs and so could not take the risk this year. But, no matter, there are plenty of other excellent displays available.

Caminos a La Conciencia Universal

Estos caminos a la conciencia universal han sido tomados de diferentes textos sagrados o sagradas escrituras de diferentes lugares y épocas del mundo. Todos los textos sagrados enseñan diferentes caminos para aumentar la conciencia individual e igualarla o acercarla a la conciencia universal.

Algunos caminos para ir de la conciencia individual a la conciencia universal, eliminar las enfermedades y el sufrimiento humano,  y lograr el bienestar y la paz individual y colectiva en el mundo:

1. Amar incondicionalmente y con desapego a todo cuanto existe en el universo.
2. Meditar todos los días al menos media hora.
3. Servir en silencio a los demás diariamente sin esperar nada a cambio. Olvídate de ti.
4. Leer y analizar los textos sagrados desde el punto de vista de los caminos a la conciencia universal. Hay muchos. Algunas recomendaciones:

El Kybalion

Baghavad Gita

El Libro de Mirdad

El Sermón del Monte

Los Upanishads

El Mahabarata

Los Vedas

El Tao Te Ching

La Torá

El nuevo testamento

El Libro Tibetano de los Muertos

El libro Egipcio de los Muertos

El Coran

El Zohar

1. No hacer juicio de nada ni nadie. Observar la dualidad como un todo, como una unidad.
2. Pensar bien, hablar bien, sentir bien, y obrar bien. Recordemos que en el universo no hay casualidades. Todo cuanto le ocurre al ser humano obedece a la ley universal de Causa-Efecto (ley del karma para las causas-efectos negativas, y ley del darma para causas-efectos positivas). Toda causa tiene su efecto, y todo efecto tiene su causa. Nos conectamos con el universo a través de nuestros pensamientos, palabras, sentimientos y acciones. El universo nos devuelve lo que le damos.
3. Eliminar los deseos y placeres sensuales y mundanos. Vivir una vida sencilla y honesta y de servicio a los demás.
4. Observar neutralmente diariamente nuestros pensamientos, palabras, sentimientos, obras, y respiración. Obsérvate neutralmente cada día, todo el día. El observador neutral es tu conciencia individual y es el que va disolviendo día a día al ego. Esta es una de las formas más intensas de aumentar la conciencia individual. Convierte en algo cotidiano la auto-observación neutral de tus pensamientos. Este ejercicio con el tiempo te dará la paz interior y la serenidad.
5. No cometer excesos ni deficiencias en los pares de opuestos. Vivir en el justo medio o equilibrio de cualquier par de opuesto. (Ver el “tanto en cuanto” de los ejercicios espirituales ignacianos de San Ignacio de Loyola, o el “justo medio” de Confucio). Todos los textos sagrados hablan del par de opuestos. Aprender a que no nos afecte el estar en cualquiera de los pares de opuestos, y aprender a encontrar el justo medio de todos los pares de opuestos. Todo tiene su opuesto complementario en este mundo, todo es relativo y dual. Todos los opuestos complementarios deben estar en equilibrio. La enfermedad (mental, emocional o física) aparece en el ser humano como un maestro para avisarle que tiene algún o algunos pares de opuestos fuera del equilibrio. La enfermedad desaparece cuando armonizamos o equilibramos estos pares de opuestos. La enfermedad es por lo tanto un maestro que viene a enseñarnos a buscar el equilibrio de algún par de opuestos dentro o fuera de nosotros, y a nivel mental, emocional o físico. Obsérvate para encontrar esos opuestos en desequilibrio que te están causando la enfermedad.
6. Comer sano y poco: vegetales, frutas, semillas, cereales, legumbres, granos.
7. Desapegarse de todo cuanto existe y apegarse al eterno presente.
8. Agradecer todo cuanto te sucede, bueno o malo.
9. No dudar. Tener Fe.
10. No temer. Tener Fe.
11. Observar neutralmente lo que nos molesta de nosotros y de los demás, hasta que con el tiempo desaparezcan estas molestias. Cada molestia es un maestro. Solo podemos disolver las molestias internas y externas con el observador neutral que es tu conciencia individual, y tiene las propiedades de la conciencia universal: omnisciente, omnipresente, omnipotente, ama incondicionalmente, es desapegada, no emite juicio, no es dual, no duda, no teme, es eterna.
12. Vivir en el eterno presente, en el aquí y ahora. Poner tu conciencia en este momento con intensidad. Olvidarse del pasado y no preocuparse por el futuro. El bienestar, la felicidad, la paz interior, la serenidad, el goce divino,  la conciencia universal, el Todo, el Uno, el Tao, el Absoluto, ….Dios, ….o como lo quieras llamar, no puede ser un objetivo a alcanzar porque así nunca lo podrás alcanzar. Es sólo en el eterno presente que te puede ser dado. Deja de buscar.

Chicago Auto Show

Chicago Auto Show Organizers Offer Tips to car Fans

The 2007 Chicago Auto Show is nearing its final days, and tough weather seems to be playing a major role in the attendance of car aficionados at the said event. To help automotive enthusiasts deal with the weather, the organizers of the motor show offer some tips. After all, the Auto Show is being held in McCormick Place and the organizers urge car fans to come and see the vehicles set on display.

“The tough weather we experienced early in the week will cause an even higher demand than normal for those wishing to view the nation’s biggest Auto Show,” Terry D’Arcy, the 2007 Chicago Auto Show chairman, said. The chairman of the motor show also added that “the nice part is that with a show floor as large as ours, it will never get crowded and our patrons will still be able to get that ‘up-close and personal’ look at more than 1,000 vehicles”. The large number of vehicles on display at the said even can be likened to the number of brake components available at Active Brakes Direct.

The show floor that D’Arcy is talking about is the massive 1.3 million sq. ft. that the McCormick Place offers. This area is the largest among motor shows in the United States. This event is also one of the most important venues for car manufacturers to link up with prospective car buyers. That is why car manufacturers come in droves to show off their wares at the said event.

To help car fans to travel to the McCormick Place and enjoy the wide array of vehicles on display, tips are being offered by the organizers. They urge the public to not be afraid of the snow problem since there are plenty of parking spaces for their vehicles. The organizers pointed out that underground parking are available on the east side of Lake Shore Drive, and this is accessible via 31st Street. Another one is the King Drive Lot A accessible via 22nd Street and the Millennium Park underground parking lot.

Free shuttles will also be operating from Millennium Park lots on Saturday and Sunday until the end of the show. Aside from these, other shuttles are also in operation on a continuing basis until the motor show ends. The organizers also want prospective motor show goers to just come and be at the McCormick Place for they have already sent word for the snow removal crews and these crews have also replied that they are ready to work all night to clear the parking lots around the venue.

Organizers also urge people to come and participate in the voting process. The “Best of Show” competition is still raging and organizers say that there are some tight races. Car enthusiasts can visit the show and then vote for their favorite online. They can vote online by visiting www.ChicagoAutoShow.com and vote in the different categories. These categories are: Best Concept, Best All New Production Vehicle, Best Chicago World Introduction, Best Exhibit, and the Car I’d Most Like to See in my Driveway.

Interested automotive enthusiasts can also log on to the show’s website for details on how to take public transportation from any part of the city to the venue of the event. This is a great tip for those who prefer to leave their personal vehicle at home while they stare in awe at the vehicles on display at the 99th Chicago Auto Show. The motor show is open to the public until its closing on February 18. The show offers a unique advantage for those looking for a new car to buy, instead of going from dealership to dealership; they can look at and compare vehicles in just one place which is the Chicago Auto Show.
