    <title>Jan  9, 2010: Reiki - &quot;The Art of Inviting Happiness&quot; Certification Training Level 1 at East End of Ventura</title>
    <description><![CDATA[REIKI ~ Level I Attunement &amp; Training w/ Certificate <br /><br />
Saturday January 9, 2010  – 11:00 a.m.  to 6:00 p.m.<br /><br />
The Usui Method of Natural Healing and a little bit more … <br /><br />
Reiki is “hands-on-healing”, the same healing that has been used throughout time, having first been documented as being used by the Buddha, then Christ and many others.  This healing is available to you.  Come experience Reiki for yourself.  <br /><br />
REI  translates to Universe or Spirit<br />
KI  translates to Energy – Life Force Energy<br />
REIKI  translates to Universal Life Force Energy<br />
ENERGY  is the language of SPIRIT <br /><br />
This Reiki training covers the fundamentals of Reiki.  It is designed to create an understanding of what Reiki is and how you can utilize Reiki energy for yourself.  Through the attunement process, you will connect with Reiki energy and learn how to develop a relationship with Reiki that is all your own. This relationship connects you to your own sacred life force.  Through this, you will begin your journey as a healer.  By learning to use Reiki on yourself, you will promote balance, wholeness and a higher level of consciousness.  This higher consciousness creates a calm state of being that automatically leads to healing of the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual body.  Reiki builds personal power and resilience that can be accessed at anytime.  When you create your individual understanding of Reiki, you then become more capable and more available to assist other in their healing process.  We are only healers when we heal ourselves.  It is only after that, when we are able to support others in their healing. <br /><br />
Laurel Lyons is a Certified Usui and Karuna Reiki Master<br /><br />
All Reiki trainings are held in Ventura, CA <br /><br />
Reiki Level I Training with Certificate - $75<br />

    <description><![CDATA[If you are a fan of nonfiction -- memoirs, true crime, political analysis, history, business, motivational, self-help, travel -- or just enjoy nonfiction that reads like a novel, join us! Tonight&#39;s Selection: &quot;Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod&quot; by Gary Paulsen. This is a passionate, powerful, and absolutely entertaining depiction about how one man lives out his dream of running in the Iditarod. Paulsen and his team of dogs endured snowstorms, frostbite, dogfights, moose attacks, sleeplessness, and hallucinations in the relentless push to go on and complete the 1150-mile winter dogsled race between Anchorage and Nome, Alaska. Sponsored by the Glenview Public Library.<br />

    <title>Nov 14, 2009: Singles Dinner for Six – Ages 50s&amp;60s at Animal</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Explore different restaurants each month while getting to know other singles in the age group of your choice . . . so even if there&#39;s no love connection you&#39;ll still have a wonderful time. You&#39;ll order off the menu and receive separate checks for your purchases. Our website allows you to view the profiles of those registered for each dinner, tracks who you&#39;ve dined with so you meet new people every time, and then let&#39;s you send a private message to those you&#39;ve dined with afterward.<br /><br />
For current space availability, to see who&#39;s going, and to register please visit our website at www.TastyLA.com<br /><br />
This week join us at Animal<br /><br />
&quot;“Meat decadence” is the theme of this “trendy”, midpriced stop on Fairfax where Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo’s “fearless” American menu celebrates beef, offal and “all things pork” in a wide array of “exceptional” offerings (think foie gras with biscuits and gravy and bacon-coated chocolate bars); an “eager” staff eases the way with ordering, so “deafening acoustics” and “spare” surroundings notwithstanding, carnivores claim they’d “return in a heartbeat.”&quot; - Zagat.com<br />
&quot;&quot;Just be wild. Come to the restaurant dressed as you wish. Order, drink what you want, and even eat with your fingers if that pleases you.&quot; This is the motto of chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, and the explanation behind the name of their first restaurant venture. They&#39;ve been a team for ten years, and have cooked in Florida and at other restaurants in LA, catered, and traveled the world discovering other cuisines. The minimalist décor is composed of natural elements: beech wood tables, ash banquettes, a copper-topped bar, brewed green tea-colored walls. There is no sign on the street; the twosome preferred to spend their dollars on food and dishware. And indeed, let us now talk about the cuisine. They are having fun changing the menu daily; either the produce or the preparation of an ingredient that might have been on the day before, all seasonal and fresh for an interesting comfort foodexperience. Start with melted petit basque (ewe cheese) with chorizo to spread on toasted garlic bread; an heirloom tomato salad seasoned with pickled onions, fresh garbanzo beans, feta and kalamata olives; mustard-crusted sweetbreads on a bed of jambalaya shrimp rice; or soft shell crab with pork belly. The pair likes to mix fish and meat, as in the two aforementioned starters, or in the grilled halibut with bacon and lima beans.  The flat iron steak is topped with corn with an unusual poblano vinaigrette, a fun wake-up call for your palate. But the pièce de résistance is the impressive 109 (a butcher&#39;s term for a Tomahawk rib-eye chop) for two with a foie gras sauce. Chocolate fans will like the jar of chocolate pudding and will love the bacon (yes, and homemade) chocolate crunch bar with crème anglaise. Other desserts are made of fresh organic fruits, therefore changing according to the season. Shook is in charge of the wine and buys no more than 24 bottles of any given label. It&#39;s an ever-changing global mix, served by the glass, carafe or bottle.&quot; - Gayot.com<br />

    <title>Dec  6, 2009: F&#39;ing Hilarious Improv at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater</title>
    <description><![CDATA[There’s no telling exactly who will be in the 6-8 person rotating cast, but we’re offering a double-your-money-back guarantee that you’ll laugh your ass off!<br /><br />
The format is long-form Improv. Based on a single suggestion from the audience, a guest monologist will tell a funny story or two. The Improv cast will perform completely unscripted scenes based on the monologist’s story content. It’s f’ing hilarious.<br /><br />
Typically, there are one or two performers from SNL or 30 Rock – Horatio Sans or Jack McBrayer. We’ll likely also see a few of the following: Neil Casey, Chris Gethard, Ellie Kemper, Bobby Moynihan, or Shannon O’Neill.<br /><br />
Since this is a FunList event, there’s no need to wait in what can be a 3 hour line (out in the cold) to get in. Simply arrive 15 minutes before they open the doors and you’ll be all set.<br /><br />
INCLUDED<br />
*2 Hours of Pee in Your Pants Fun<br />
*Virtually No Wait in Line<br />
*A Great Group of People to Watch the Best NYC Improv<br /><br />
RSVP info<br />
You must be a member of FunList to RSVP!<br /><br />

    <title>Nov 23, 2009: National Freelancers Day at The Eagle</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The Professional Contractors Group (PCG) have nominated 23rd November as<br />
National Freelancers Day and there will be events happening all over the<br />
country to support and celebrate freelancers and contractors.<br /><br />
Crunch.co.uk/Freelance Advisor, Contractor Mortgages Made Easy and the<br />
Farm are getting together to help the PCG put on the Brighton event. As<br />
Brighton and Hove have the highest per capita number of freelancers in<br />
the country, our night will of course be the best ;-)<br /><br />
It&#39;ll start at 7.30pm on Monday 23rd November in the Eagle pub. There<br />
will be a few talks, a long networking session with plenty of beer and<br />
lots of interesting people to meet. This is going out to PCG members as<br />
well as our normal lists so there should be a load of new people to meet<br />
on the night who don&#39;t usually come out to Brighton&#39;s new media groups.<br /><br />
If you&#39;re a freelancer, contractor, or interested in becoming one,<br />
please come along. It&#39;ll be a great night.<br />
