One of the most important things any person has to understand to get the financial monkey off their back the concept of money in and money out. You need to run your household like a small business and realize that you are a business that will either thrive or fail. The choice is yours and yours alone. The people that suffer if you are failing are your most cherished and loved ones, so the gorilla is huge on you.
You first must know how much money is coming into your household. This must include paychecks, birthday money, alimony, child support, and welfare of any kind and keep up with it. I put all my money in one checking account to start the month so I can see it all there. I also put any left over money from the following month into my emergency fund, so I'm only looking at my money in for the month. I then make a written budget of where all the money in is going.
This is the money out part of the plan. We pay ourselves first in our retirement accounts, savings accounts, college funds, etc. Then we pay our bills such as our mortgage, electricity, insurances, taxes, and lastly we put money into our other expenses such as birthdays, kids sports, or vacations. Then we look again and if there is money left we can move it into savings. We always write this out on a legal pad and if we don't know the expense, we over estimate it such as with gasoline prices. If it is $200 a month we will put $250 toward it in case prices go up. This is why we usually have some money left over at the end of the month for a family dinner out or a splurge for a Slip n Slide from Wal-Mart.
Also, notice I use the term "we" because my wife and I both sit down and do this together because we must work together like any good business partnership. We work for a common goal. If one of use fails then the family fails. We also put all our money together because it is easier to keep up with it together. We are not separate in anyway financially. My money is our money and her money is our money. We both hate bills and try to keep as much of our money as possible to build a productive business. We discuss major purchases together, in the beginning to was anything over $20, but as we made more money and got our bills under control it is anything over $100 must be discussed. I did ask if I could buy an NES classic mini for $60, and got an OK because again, it is our money for our small business we are growing together. Most of the time if we discuss it, we don't buy it, because we realize it is not a good splurge.
You have to know what is coming in and what is coming out for any business to work and you must look at your finances every week to make sure the company budget is working and if it needs adjustments. If you find too much is coming out and you are failing then you must either stop spending or find more money to come in. Those are the only options. Sometimes, driving for Uber one night a week or canceling a second rarely used cell phone can save your small business from failure. If you don't know where your money is track it and get your business back on track.

Unlike different neighborhood health roles, educators do not often work face-to-face with populations to collect data and supply counseling. Instead, public health educators analyze knowledge about key demographics and work to create or enhance health programs. This position is good for people who prefer to get a big-picture view of issues and apply their downside fixing abilities throughout broad populations. Relying on their preferred steadiness of advising and teaching duties, educators can choose from quite a lot of specialised roles.

In this seminar from the American Film Institute, Amy Dunkleberger guides both novice and professional writers through the creation of an engaging screenplay.
…From such famous literary figures as F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner and Anita Loos churning out screenplays during Hollywood's Golden Age to today's scribes creating multi-million dollar blockbusters such as Gladiator and Titanic, screenwriters have developed the characters, dialogue and stories that continue to make such indelible impressions on movie audiences. Whether you're creating the script for the next mega-budget Hollywood movie or even a short digital film to stream on the Web, an understanding of the basics of screenwriting can help you develop a script that will effectively translate your ideas to the screen.— Fathom.com | Read The Full Article

When James Rosado saw the carnage at Herald Square, in the shadow of the Empire State Building, he was sure he'd happened on another terrorist attack.
"People were lying all over the street," Rosado said. "They were out cold. Most were bleeding.
"There was a lot of screaming from relatives and others around the area," said the 24-year-old employee of the Sunglass Hut at the corner of Broadway and 34th Street.
Rosado said working so close to the building that's once again New York's tallest has him constantly worried about an attack in the wake of the Sept. 11 suicide-hijack jets that hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
That, he said, was the first thing that sprang to his mind yesterday.
"This area is always a target," Rosado said. "Every time we see smoke coming out of the Empire State Building, we're hysterical and ready to close the store."
Arnold Weber, 61, who lives nearby, echoed Rosado's jitteriness.
"Where I live, you're always worried it's the Empire State Building," Weber said.
Carolle York, 40, of Brooklyn said she, too, feared terrorism was the cause of the chaos.
"You try to move on with your life and then something else happens," York said.
"When are we going to be able to get the smile back on our faces?"

Pthreads Programming: A Hands-on Introduction
Adrien Lamothe
Track: Programming
Date: Monday, July 23
Time:Ā8:30am - 12:00pm
Location: D139-140
Concurrent programming is assuming increased importance in this era of multicore microprocessors. Pthreads is a tried and true method for developing multithreaded software, capable of leveraging the power of multicore CPUs.
A basic overview of concurrent programming concepts. Synchronization is the central challenge in multithreaded programming.
Profile Your Application
Your software's execution profile will determine whether it can benefit from multithreading. This is the first step in the concurrent programming process.
Basic Pthreads System Calls
We'll start with the basics, to instill familiarity before advancing to the trickier constructs. This will be done in C, under Linux (or BSD or Mac OS X if you prefer). Students will work on their own computers (most likely laptops).
Synchronization Primitives
Next, we'll add the various synchronization constructs, in a progressive fashion. The concept of thread-safe library calls will be introduced.
Debugging Multithreaded programs are a bit more challenging to debug than single-threaded ones. We'll use the multithreaded features of the GNU debugger.
Use your favorite dynamic scripting language to develop a test harness for your multithreaded application.
Not all operating systems and Pthreads libraries do the best job of implementing the Pthreads standard. We'll outline those systems we know work well and those with known problems.

LEE CARSLEY'S full-blooded tackling in a royal blue jersey has been a vital weapon for the past four-and-a-half years but for the first time in his Goodison career on Saturday, Evertonians will have wished that he'd shirked at least one challenge.
The Irish international anchorman, whose solidity in front of the back four provided the platform for Everton's Champions League push two seasons ago, has always endeared himself to the club's supporters, who appreciate his brand of committed play.
But, on this occasion, it was his team-mate Tim Cahill who felt the full force of a Carsley cruncher.
Barely 19 minutes into Saturday's match, Carsley lunged towards an attempted challenge on Aston Villa's Gavin McCann.
But while the 32-year-old missed his intended target completely, he inadvertently made full contact with the leg of fellow Everton midfielder Cahill, who agonisingly collapsed in a heap before being stretchered off following some lengthy treatment.
Just as in the Carling Cup reverse at home to Arsenal on Wednesday, Everton were forced to reshuffle from their original game plan for more than 70 minutes and once again, they never really recovered.
With top scorer Cahill sidelined and the previously prolific Andrew Johnson continuing to misfire – the pair have netted all but one of Everton's Premiership goals from open play so far this season – the hosts were unable to find their way through Villa's stubborn rearguard.
A week earlier, Everton, who had netted a record low 34 goals from 38 games last season, had proudly been the only Premiership side to score in every game of the campaign in 2006/07 but now after three straight blanks, the frowns are starting to reappear at Goodison Park.
If David Moyes' side had triumphed at Craven Cottage, they could have gone third in the table but somehow they transpired to lose despite creating a string of good chances against Fulham.
Seven days later, it was Aston Villa, 16th last season, who climbed to the dizzy heights of third after securing their first away win in the Premiership under new boss Martin O'Neill.
Although Villa are obviously much-improved under the Ulsterman, they are still nothing special and were made to look very ordinary at Anfield just two weeks earlier and were thrashed 4-0 at Chelsea just three days before this fixture.
So the fact that Everton could not force at the very least an equaliser must have been particularly galling.
After the moneyed 'big four' of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, who have dominated the silverware stakes for the past decade, the Premiership for all its hype is a league with a lot of teams operating on a similar level.
You can throw a blanket in quality terms between all the clubs from, say, seventh to 17th as Everton themselves have shown by their topsy-turvy finishes of recent seasons.
So good organisation accounts for a lot in this division – a factor that outfits with savvy managers like Moyes and O'Neill should be able to exploit.
But while Everton have threatened to have a good season from the start so far this term, they now have to find that little bit of extra ruthlessness to ensure that all their hard work doesn't go to waste by finding that their well-laid plans have started to go off the rails after this third straight defeat in the space of a week.
It's well-documented that there are three types of lies – lies, damn lies and statistics but since Everton's 3-0 derby triumph, the 2-0 victory over newly-promoted Sheffield United is their only win over Premiership opposition in nine matches.
David Moyes will quite rightly point out that his team have not been rolled over in any of these games, and when you look at these encounters individually then you could argue that Everton deserved to take at least something out of all of them, but that itself is the most frustrating factor.
Moyes has now assembled a quality Everton side – perhaps the most balanced for more than a decade – so both he and the supporters must now feel that they have the potential to be doing even better.
This is, after all, the same Everton team which inflicted Liverpool's biggest derby defeat since 1909, but that memorable win in the glorious September sunshine seemed a long time ago as Aston Villa arrived for this wet and windy November fixture with litter swirling around the pitch at a gloomy Goodison.
Everton made two changes to the side that lost at home to Arsenal in the Carling Cup with Nuno Valente and the suspended James McFadden making way for Alan Stubbs and Simon Davies.
Villa had four alterations from the team who went down 4-0 at Chelsea on the same evening as Martin Laursen, Aaron Hughes, Gareth Barry and Steve Davis made way for Liam Ridgewell, Gary Cahill, Isaiah Osbourne and Chris Sutton.
Everton had a good opportunity to go ahead early on when Johnson managed to squeeze between Villa's two young centre-backs, Cahill and Ridgewell, but failed to square the ball to an unmarked Davies at the back post when he got caught up between visiting skipper Olof Mellberg and keeper Thomas Sorensen.
The hosts' early rhythm was severely disrupted by Cahill's injury – which led to a break in play of almost five minutes – and Villa netted the only goal of the game three minutes before normal time was up in a first half bereft of notable incidents of a positive nature.
Lescott, who again excelled out of position at left-back, did well to keep with Villa's marauding right winger Gabriel Agbonlahor, but the fleet-footed youngster still found just enough space to lay the ball off to equally impressive teenager Osbourne, who making just his third Premiership appearance, dinked the ball into the box for Chris Sutton to head past Tim Howard after escaping the attentions of Joseph Yobo for a simple but well-worked goal.
Arguably, Everton's best chance to draw level came in first half stoppage time when Johnson connected with a flick-on from substitute James Beattie, who had replaced the injured Cahill, and stayed on his feet despite what seemed like a tug from Gary Cahill, but fired wide from close range with the outside of his boot.
Early in the second half, Birmingham-born Carsley had two good opportunities to make amends for earlier taking out his team-mate as, firstly, he burst through a crowded penalty area only to shot high and wide before heading over the bar after good build-up play from Beattie and Johnson.
The game became stretched as Everton introduced a third striker in Victor Anichebe at the expense of Leon Osman in search of an equaliser and Howard was forced to make a couple of good saves from both McCann and Stilian Petrov. to deny Villa from going further ahead.
At the other end, while Everton flung several long balls and crosses into the visitors' penalty box, they were unable to find a breakthrough as the Midlanders survived a series of late scrambles in their own area to hold out for the points, ensuring Moyes's side were beaten at home in the Premiership for the first time since Tottenham's 1-0 triumph on April 15.

The official blog of author William Fripp
Let's take this opportunity to reflect on some things...
The tragic suicide of Robin Williams is more than just a sad commentary on how fame and fortune, despite their glittering promise, are not the paths to enlightenment and happiness that so many of us, including myself, aspire to, but Williams' death is also a stark reminder that there are people in this world that, despite their outward, public displays that would suggest differently, are hurting inside in a way only they can understand. What we see we call reality, but most of the time we see what we are meant to see and to look any deeper requires an investment, an investment of time and an investment of the heart, it requires us to drop the veil around our own public facades and risk pain to relieve pain, to extend our shields around another and take the hits for someone who's hurting and vulnerable until they can shield themselves. But there's another side to this that I think is very important that I haven't seen anyone posit on and that is the people that Robin Williams left behind. Not us, his fans, who only knew the funny man in the alien suit, but his wife, his children and his close friends.
They are now left with so many unanswerable questions, so many doubts about their own roles in his death, about whether or not they should have seen this coming and if they could have done anything to prevent it. Suicide is a very selfish act. It's cruel and sudden and it ultimately means that, however strong he might have appeared, that in the end he took the way out that solved nothing, that created no hope and that did the most damage to the ones he loved. I loved watching Robin Williams perform, creating unforgettable characters and moving us to laugh and cry and think and feel, but that is all lost now, in the absolute darkness of doubt and pain that only suicide brings with it. His gifts are lost, now, squandered and thrown away and in their wake is only grief and pain. How truly sad that his legacy of joy should be tarnished forever by his last, great act of desperation.
It goes without saying that if you know someone who needs a guiding hand through a stormy period in their lives, please help them, but it also needs to be pointed out that if you, yourself, feel the walls falling around you, if the only way through the void for you is to surrender to your demons and take the route Mr. Williams and so many others have taken when the air runs out in their lives (including people close to me), please, for the sake of those you will leave in the lurch struggling to come to grips with their own failure to save you, talk to someone, ANYONE, before you give up.
Be brave. Before it's too late.

Day 28: Why I Came to Microcampus
Why I came to Microcampus.
Why did I come to Microcampus?
I had no specific reason for coming other than that I enjoy new opportunities and chances. I remember seeing a few eighth graders in my class disappear for a while and come back presenting these monotonous slideshows. Listening to presentations from 8th graders about this experience, Microcampus, had never actually interested me. Only once reaching grade 8 and listening to Mr. Tafel present about the month long learning program in front of the entire grade that then, I was interested.
I loved the idea of getting away from the classroom and experiencing a whole different form of learning. Throwing the textbooks out, getting out and talking and learning through that. I guess the idea of expanding my inter-cultural understanding and learning through new forms and ways was intriguing to me. This was just one of many reasons for my interest in Microcampus.Other than that, before going to Xizhou, I was just generally interested in these types of learning opportunities. It seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime chance that was only available to me at this time and only here. I was extremely determined to not let this chance get away.
After this month, however, I realized that there were more reasons and a greater purpose for this experience. I realized that before coming here, I was never aware of others. I mean, I was, but not in the way that Microcampus has taught me. I realized that almost every person I pass by in almost every place has their own separate story and unique history that opens up a new door and opportunity for learning. If not for this experience I would not have learned to make these connections.
These connections were able to help me learn more about the culture, the community, as well as about the history of the area. It opened a new form of learning and allowed me to be able to expand my inter-cultural understanding, one of the main goals of this trip. In addition to this, learning to talk to strangers helped me grow and learn more about myself as a person as well. Because of this experience I have been able to takeaway new lessons from new people that are now a part and a dear memory in my life.
I came to Microcampus in order to grow as a person, in order to learn more about myself, in order to expand my inter-cultural understanding, and for a new opportunity.

So, what would you do if you have a headache that you just want gone immediately? Here are a few tips that you can try to treat the underlying cause for the headache. These are tested and tried by many people are is one suggested by a panel of doctors.
Thumb to Toe
Walking your thumb over your big toe from the top to bottom and back again is one that is known to resolve headaches.
Balls in a Sock
Put two balls on two ends of a sock and put it behind your head and lie on them. The balls should be placed where the head meets you neck. Nod your head to touch your chin to your chest.
Keeping yourself hydrated with at least 2 litres of water a day is the number one solution to avoiding dehydration headaches and other issues.
Timely meals is important to ensure that you are feeding your body with the right things. One more reason why headaches occur.
Cayenne Pepper

Turn Off Devices
The light from your devices are known to cause headaches in people. So take a break a stretch. Drink some water and relax.

text:
one occasion, Shri Shirdi Sai Baba advised one of His
devotees working as a Magistrate, to maintain 'probity'
in personal and professional life. The word 'probity'
means a high standard of moral behaviour or adherence
to the highest principles and ideals or in short, uprightness.
People from all walks of life, such as government servants
like magistrates, revenue officials, tehsildars, mamlatdars,
police officials to lawyers, artists, pilgrims, used to
flock around Baba at Shirdi, seeking His divine blessings,
help and guidance, both mundane and spiritual. Baba helped
everyone as and when required, without any considerations
of religion, caste, creed, temporal status or varied social
all the advice that Shri Sainath Maharaj rendered, the
most important and common advice was to maintain uprightness
and honesty in all aspects of life religious, social,
professional or personal. By asking the Magistrate to
exhibit moral conduct in his profession, Baba gave the
message that demonstrating the quality of righteousness
in only one sphere of life, is not conducive to spiritual
growth of an individual. It has to be practiced or adhered
to in every sphere of life.
our ordinary life, we come across many people, who demonstrate
their quality of piety by donating lots of money to the
temples, but shirk away in providing any such help to
their poor domestic servant, even if he or she may be
in dire stress due to any number of reasons such as the
sickness of his or her child. There are others who spend
lots of money and time on the rearing of their pet dogs,
but do not think twice before hurling abuses and even
beat up urchins begging on the street. Such examples are
too numerous to be described within the limited space
of this article. Such people show contradiction between
their thought, intent and action, where they display virtuosity
selectively, sometimes simply for their personal gains.
Thus, the quality of uprightness, probity and honesty
are applied as utilitarian principles. One need not be
surprised at such examples, because to be successful in
the worldly life, most people take recourse to such a
formula. However, such an approach is not conducive for
those desirous of their inner evolution. The formula that
Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi prescribed, was upholding the
qualities of tolerance, compassion, uprightness, sacrifice
and non-attachment to be practiced resolutely in every
station of life be it professional, personal, religious
or social.
who followed Baba's teaching in letter and spirit gained
spiritual progress much faster than those who did not
follow. Shri Sai Satcharitra cites stories of many such
evolved souls during Baba's lifetime, such as, Megha,
who maintained his simplicity till his demise, Bala Saheb
Bhate and Kaka Saheb Dixit who renounced worldly life
entirely on the bidding of Baba, while Mahalsapati maintained
his non-attachment to materialism. These exalted and noble
souls, and many others, who never faltered in sustaining
their qualities under the guidance of the Master of Shirdi,
have been praised in Shri Sat Charitra and elsewhere.
it behoves the true Sai devotees to consciously try to
evolve the best qualities in them, in all the activities
they undertake. No doubt, this is not at all easy to achieve,
but steadfast love, devotion and unwavering faith towards
Baba will gradually bring out the best qualities in them.
May Shri Sai bless us all, to be able to follow the path
of righteousness and uprightness.
Baba states that himself and three others were studying
puran and other works and discussing among themselves
obviously on an intellectual basis how to get realization,
and they had their own differences. One stressed the neecessity
of depending upon oneself as the Gita says, Uddharet Atmana.
Another, equally self-sufficient, said that the main thing
was to make the mind self-centred, free from thoughts
and doubts, because it is we who are in everything and
everywhere. A third companion said that Vichara was the
thing to be stressed, and Vichara consisted in Viveka,
regarding the difference between Nitya and Anitya, the
Changeable and the Unchangeable, the Changeable form and
the formless Unchangeable Reality.
with all these controversies they were not anywhere near
God-realisation. Baba disliked all this metaphysical and
intellectual discussion and stressed the practical steps
that had to be taken, to approach a Guru, and surrender
one's Tan, Man Dhan to the Guru and leave it to the Guru
to accomplish the rest. The field of this intellectual
discussion was a veritable forest, vast and dense, through
which no way could be found out of it. So, as they rambled
on without finding a way out, they came across one who
knew the forest thoroughly, a Vanajari, a forest dweller.
That Vanajari asked them, 'Where are you going into
these trackless woods unnecessarily?' He kindly
invited them to go with him and have some food, which
should enable them to continue their journey through the
majority being self-sufficient and independent, the Vanajari's
words were not heeded. But the party went into this intellectual
wood and lost their way. Again the Vanajari appeared before
them and showed them how by relying on their own intelligence
they had lost their way and gone the wrong path, and told
them that a guiding finger was necessary to show them
the proper way. The Vanajari said that the offer of food
was not to be despised, for the offer of food was an auspicious
sign betokening the coming success in the enterprise.
he repeated the offer of his hospitality. For a second
time the majority decided to reject the offer. So they
continued their rambling in the track-less forest. Hunger
seized them all but the unbending three were too proud
to change. Baba alone left that company, went to the Vanajari
and accepted his food and water. That Vanajari was the
Guru and enquired of all that they had talked about, and
the conclusions they had come to. Baba revealed to him
the entire facts.
The others did not care to depend on a Guru or a Guide.
But for himself he felt that the Guru and Guru alone,
was the thing needed. So saying Baba bowed in reverence
to the Guru with faith. The Guru at once put his faith
to the test. Baba's description of the test resembled
an allegory and was obviously symbolical.
says, 'Then he took me to a well, tied up my legs
with a rope and suspended me, head downwards, from a tree
by a side of the well. My head was about three feet off
the water, which I could not reach. And my guru left me
there and went away God knows where. He returned after
4 or 5 hours and asked me how I fared. In great bliss
was my time passed, I answered. The Guru, mighty pleased
with me, drew me near him, passed his palm -over my head
and body and spoke to me tender words dripping with love,
and he put me into his school where I entirely forgot
my father and mother and all attachments and desires.
'I loved to gaze at him. If he were not there
to see, I would not like to have eyes at all. I did not
wish to go back. I forgot all other things but the Guru.
My life was concentrated in my sight and my sight in him.
That was the object of my meditation. In silence I bowed'.
'Meanwhile, Realisation flashed upon me of itself
without effort or study, purely by his grace'.
'Guru's grace is our only sadhana. Jnana
comes as experience or in its wake'.
1997 I was working for a well known company in Chennai
and was executing a major project. I was from North India
and had been specially hired for this project. Several
senior executives of this company had been superseded
for this position and were not comfortable with my quick
results and so indulged in office politics. I had to travel
to Mumbai for marketing. I quite liked Mumbai as a place
for professionals. Moreover, my wife was from Mumbai.
I decided to seek a place for myself in Mumbai.
wife and in-laws are staunch devotees of Sai Baba and
I too got initiated to Baba after my marriage. During
the 1980s I was in Nasik and Deolali but never had visited
Shirdi despite its proximity. I used to silently pray
to Baba to get me to Mumbai as I was quite upset with
the situation in the Chennai company. Having putting in
my best and brought the project to commercial production,
I used to feel choked.
was invited by a Mumbai based company to join them on
a senior position and had to visit them for a preliminary
meeting. We used to travel by air for office work. Since
this was personal work I decided to travel by train to
save money. I drove the car to Chennai railway station
and parked the car in its huge parking lot as I planned
to return in two days. The meeting in Mumbai went well
and it was decided that I would join the new position
in two months.
I returned to Chennai and went to my parked car, I saw
a small booklet inserted below the car wiper and glass
on the driver's side. Initially I thought someone would
have put some publicity booklet and was about to throw
it. But then I realized it was in Hindi. Within no time
I realised it was a Sai Baba Aarti booklet. Who and why
someone would leave that book for my attention. What intrigues
me till today is how did that person know that this car
belonged to a Hindi speaking devotee, that too in Chennai.
There are sometimes as many as 200 cars parked in that
railway station.
moved to Mumbai two months later and worked there till
1999. During my stint with this company we stayed in Pune
in the company's house in Viman Nagar as I had to look
after production and had to frequently travel for three
to four days in a week to Mumbai.
night we went for a movie. As we did not have a landline
I had given a mobile to my wife to remain connected. On
this fateful day when we were taking out the car my wife
made my three year old son sit on a kiosk and left her
mobile on the plank. Later she realized she had left the
mobile on that kiosk. We came halfway but the kiosk had
closed. My wife was very upset; she cried and prayed to
Sai Baba. Despite my best assurances that I would get
her a new mobile she did not sleep the whole night but
next day I had to leave for Mumbai. During the day she
went with the driver to the same kiosk to enquire if they
found a mobile the previous night. As she approached the
shop, before she could ask, an old man asked her if she
had forgotten her mobile phone last night. She said yes
and he handed her the Ericson phone. She thanked him and
came home.
called me at my Mumbai office to tell me she had found
the mobile. When I returned to Pune her joy knew no bounds.
I asked did you give something as a token gesture to the
old man. She said she was so overwhelmed that she did
We then drove to meet the old man. We went to the kiosk
on MG Road and asked for the old man who handed over the
lost mobile to us. To our astonishment we were informed
that they did not have any old man working for them and
did not even know about the lost mobile episode.
who was the old who gave back the lost mobile to us? Was
it Sai Baba in person? This is still a mystery to us till
today. Thereafter
I decided to leave the job and start my own company. For
the last nine years I am on my own in the field of print
media and have a successful business and am well settled
in Mumbai. It was Baba's unseen hand that helped me come
to Mumbai. There have been a few such incidents in our
lives that that make us feel that Sai Baba has always
been with us. Now we are regular visitors to Shirdi. Baba
is omnipotent and always with his devotees. But then we
need to do good to others and walk on the path shown by

Dharma - In other words, the path of righteousness or
following the ethics laid by our gurus in ancient Hindu
scriptures with total blind faith.
I have never been able to understand the true meaning
of Dharma. The era in which the Hindu scriptures were
written was satyug and we are now living in kalyug. According
to me dharma is different in every situation. Something
that is right for one person may not be so for another.
For example, it is wrong to kill another human being but
a warrior in the battlefield does not do anything wrong
by killing his enemy - he is simply doing what he believes
to be dharma.
example is that it is against the dharma to lie but if
someone lies to save the life of someone, then that that
lie can be condoned. So dharma cannot be fully justified
as the path of righteousness. Sati was one of the dharmas
of a Hindu wife. But what kind of dharma is this which
wants a woman to throw herself in the burning fire when
her husband dies while the rule for the husband is totally
different when his wife passes away and he is allowed
to get married once again and lead a happily married life?
Committing suicide is against dharma but being a Sati
also means committing suicide. Strange that dharma is
different for different people and it keeps clashing with
its own boundaries of what is right and what is defined
as wrong.
Karma on the other hand merely means the actions that
we choose to perform at our physical and as well as mental
level. As long as we keep our hearts clear of bad intentions,
according to me that karma is the real dharma. I truly
believe that I will leave all the riches, all my relationships,
my thoughts, my dharma, my religion behind when I die,
but what I will surely take with myself will be my karma
or my actions in this life and this will decide my happiness
and sorrows in all my lives to come.
I will sow is what I will reap and I will eat the fruits
of my own karma. Besides that, along with the faith and
devotion for the one who has created me, the only thing
that I can offer Him at His lotus feet are my karmas.
If only everyone keeps in mind that whatever they do,
they are offering their karmas to God, then I am sure
none of us need dharma in our lives. We will make sure
that along with the nectar of pure devotion we also offer
and perform karmas with no negative thoughts or evil intentions
so that we can place them at the feet of the Lord. My
karmas alone have the power to bring me close to my creator
or push me away in hell. I pray to my Sai, My creator
to help me clean my soul with my good karmas. And so in
other words my karma is my dharma. And I hold my karma
far more important than any dharma.

your views on Topic of Discussion- LOVE OF HUMANITY
a man had a dream where he was walking along with his
Lord (Sai) on the beach and he saw his life flashing across
the sky. He also noticed two sets of footprints in the
sand one his and the other his Lord's. However he also
noticed that during the saddest and the hardest time in
his life there was only one set of footprints.
he asked his Lord I thought you said that you will always
be with me, then why when I did you leave me when I needed
you the most. The man thought he saw only his footprint
in the sand during sad times. The Lord said my child I
love you and will never leave you. You see only one set
of footprints in those times when you needed me the most
as it is then that I carried you. Please remember this
always that our Sai will never leave us even when we think
he may have.
Nainesh Patel, New Jersey, USA
When we are born on this earth, we bring with us certain
thought forms, experiences and characteristics from our
previous births. Sai Baba says that we have to go through
these prarabdhs that we bring with us in this birth also
as a continuum. But through devotion to the Guru and God
and through their grace, we can achieve the realisation
of our aim in this life. Then , and only then, can we
evolve into a better state of being in this birth itself
and the ones that may follow. It is also said by Sai Baba
that such a realisation is the hall mark of being born
as a human being and that we must make the greatest use
of this privilege.
we enjoy or suffer has some connection to our prarabdh.
These words of Our Sai gives us hope and courage to live
through even the worst times of our lives; as whatever
we go through have to be taken as lessons He provides
us. We must be ever vigilant to learn through our experiences.
Instead of cursing our bad fortune we should seek to find
out what He is trying to teach us. In good times we should
think that this has also been given by Him to tell us
something that He wants us to learn. Both the good and
bad of life can thus be accepted with equanimity.
Kunti Devi in the Mahabharatha thanks Lord Krishna for
the bad events in her life and prays to Him to give her
more tragedies to enable her to think of Him always. Let
us pray to Sai to help us evolve as better human beings.

Thanks I got copy of the Heritage of Shirdi Sai Magazine
New Year Issue. It is just beautiful and full of information
and knowledge.
I did not have much knowledge about prarabdh and was actually
confused what it was all about after loss of my son. But
when I started to type, it appears that Baba made me go
on typing not only about prarabdh but also about other
karmas. This article was finished in half a day on Thursday
(yesterday) that too during office hours when luckily
I had no work on hand. I consider it grace of SaiBaba.

While products such as bananas, pineapples, kiwifruit and citrus have long been available to consumers in temperate zones, new fruits such as lychee, longan, carambola, and mangosteen are now also entering the market. Confirmation of the health benefits of tropical and subtropical fruit may also promote consumption further. Tropical and subtropical fruits are particularly vulnerable to postharvest losses, and are also transported long distances for sale. Therefore maximising their quality postharvest is essential and there have been many recent advances in this area. Many tropical fruits are processed further into purees, juices and other value-added products, so quality optimization of processed products is also important. These books cover current state-of-the-art and emerging post-harvest and processing technologies. Volume 1 contains chapters on particular production stages and issues, whereas Volumes 2, 3 and 4 contain chapters focused on particular fruit.
- An essential reference for professionals involved in the postharvest handling and processing of tropical and subtropical fruits and for academics and researchers working in the area
- Focuses on fundamental issues of fruit physiology, quality, safety and handling relevant to all those in the tropical and subtropical fruits supply chain
- Chapters include nutritional and health benefits, preharvest factors, food safety, and biotechnology and molecular biology

Dear Faith Des Peres Friends,
This Sunday is World Communion Sunday. World Communion Sunday began at Shadyside Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, PA, in autumn 1933. Think about what was happening then . . The country was in the throes of the Great Depression.
· The cloud of Nazism and Fascism hovered all over Europe and threatened the entire world.
· And anxiety about the economy, the world order, and the future enveloped the people.
As a faith response to those fears, a group of leaders at Shadyside sought to do something both real and symbolic to proclaim that God is God indeed, in spite of politics, economics and future shock. So they conceived of a day when Christians would gather around the Lord's Table in a show of unity to counter the pessimism and walls that were dividing them.
The idea caught on, and in 1940 World Communion Sunday was endorsed by the National Council of Churches.
Personally, I think it's one of the better ideas to spring from a Presbyterian Church, or any church, for that matter. We need the reminder that there's unity, a oneness given to us in Jesus Christ. We need the reminder that God's will for creation is peace and harmony. And we need the reminder because there's a great deal of disunity in the world. While I'm not able to be here to celebrate with you because I'll be celebrating my parents' 65th wedding anniversary in Akron, I hope you'll be here to show your unity with one another and the wider world. Rev. Joy Myers, retired pastor and Acting Stated Clerk, will lead worship and preach.
Thank you all so much for being a part of the Faith Des Peres community and welcoming everyone to the table.

Combat Information:
The Power of Every Lycan: Lycans are actually pretty common on earth and in his home dimension Fraide is the Hellion the Leader of them all and has a genetic link to them that allows him to know and sense them all this ability transcends Dimensions when they are closer together allowing him awesome new powers. He can use all other Lycan powers meaning he has a bag of tricks bigger than you can imagine. He must realize or know about the specific lycan to use their power otherwise he has no access. This power is his greatest gift and curse. He is linked to every lycan because of this power and therefore feels them when they die he dies a little as well. The power of Empathy is a heavy one.
Powers of the recently dead: Fraide has a trick up his sleeve, an ability he got when his mother died Fraide can extend his reach to those who have recently died whether or not they are Lycans and use their skills and powers to fight his enemies. They can corrupt him and make him a monster of vengeance usually this doesn't happen. The Dead call out to him his powerful presence kinda draws them into him giving him the power of those forgotten.
Power of his opponents: Fraide power will often allow him to use his opponent's abilities. The power has to be used against him for it to work for him as well. Once it has been used against him he knows how to use it not in the same way they do but in his own unique style so while he has the power he can only use it in a way he himself would use it. He has to be able to comprehend the ability for this power to work.
His strength: Is technically infinite but like the hulk the battle must be going on for a while for this to be relevant normally he doesn't use his other powers because his Strength is all he needs He can easily palm a planet busting meteor if he wishes and send it back into space. He needs to draw out the fight to get as strong as he can be. There is no actually end to how strong he can get he can punch out gods and Arch-gods without fear of retaliation if he's been using his muscles long enough his strength only grows the more his blood boils for battle, takes him time to get stronger so he is defeatable in his base strength stage.
Unlock True Self: When Fraide himself is not strong enough to win the battle by speaking his true original name he can become the original Hellion and fight at a nearly unprecedented level of power. As he does not know his true Original name he cannot use this power alone the only one who truly knows it now is a little Vampiri name Selina. As the Original Hellion Fraide becomes a force of nature with power rivaling the elements themselves the original Hellion is known throughout the Universe as the Strongest Mortal ever. Of course being the most powerful mortal in the face of the most powerful immortals isn't exactly impressive but Ffraide just doesn't give a shit. Fraide becomes Ffraide and it's possible that the cycle will end there.
Fraide often forgets that he has other powers he only relies on his strength and durability. However this tends to be all he needs due to the fact that he is impossibly strong.
He carries a Sword he had found young when he is angry it glows with an blinding Golden light. No enemy he has drawn this weapon on has lived.
Rp Example:
"Get out the way you'll get killed!" a young girl shouted as Fraide growled.
"I told you we're not moving show me your fighting spirit and we'll crush this damn thing!" He said clenching his fist. His excitement starting to reach his peak The old Lycan loved this Hopeless situation missing arm little girl with untapped power with her hopes pinned on him. He couldn't ask for more if a challenge.
"But your arm-" She started to say but she was cut off by a now angry Fraide. Rage painted across his face as he turned to her to tell her the virtue of fighting mother fucking spirit.
"Forget about my arm and focus on the enemy, either unleash your fighting spirit or die." He snarled turning back to the demon that was ripping buildings apart. Fraide laughed aloud as a huge energy blast hurtled towards him. The Hellion pumped out his chest with an angry look on his face as the attack splashed across his chest flowing harmlessly across him like water deflecting across a wall. "Just who in the hell do you think I am? When they talk about the fearless, handsome, perfect leader of the Lycans their talking about me! Fraide Andraste!" He said fire exploding behind him in an extreme as if this was an over the top anime, getting into something similar to a horseback stance. "So don't you mess with me punk or I'll put you down. Hard!." He finished as the Creature charged up another attack and flung it at Fraide who just sat there taking it he now looked pissed. "I thought I told you!" He said running at it, the creature flinch and reared backwards as he rushed him. "Don't you mess with me!" He continued his muscles now gathering energy enough to move Texas across the continent. "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?" He shouted punching the thing in the face that the air around it shattered. Fraide was still missing an arm at that point but suddenly from where it was cut off earlier he had now healed completely. He grinned as the girl stared at it in all it's perfection and glory, Fraide flexed his arm and stretched his fingers.
"But how? It's healed!" She said dumbfounded as the Hellion grinned at her, even more proof of his perfection!
"FIGHTING SPIRIT!" He shouted flexing his new arm out he was gonna crush that demon for sure. Then he was gonna be full.
Fraide is the reincarnation of the original Hellion who was born on the Original Earth's first life. The Original hellion had infinite Strength, and the power of all of his kind backing him up he grew up with this power staring up at the sky not seeing a new place to head but a ceiling in his way. He grew up training most of his life working harder than everyone else trying harder than anyone else despite his gifts he still worked as hard as he could working himself to the bone every day. Day after day he worked and trained raising himself even further past everyone else, because of this he became arrogant though he had earned it he was better than everyone and they acknowledged it and even embraced it he wasn't arrogant so much as inspiring he made you want to try harder to be more like him and he encouraged it the more like him they were the better they'd become at being themselves that he approved of. Back then he was known as Ffraide Taingou Tengen Hell -Hunter. He was earth's greatest Warrior and at the age of only 20 he was still a pup back then. Unfortunately Ffraide was never suppose to rule Earth alone. Ffraide was the first of his species the very first true Lycan whose species evolved alongside the vampire the first of which was a man named Dragula. Dragula's powers far exceeded that of the other vampiri that had evolved after him and it was soon discovered why, Dragula had allied himself with Lucifer, and Lucifer had granted him powers that boggled the mind. Of course this didn't impress Ffraide he was one to always one up his opponent and though he and dragula began to battle each other for control of Earth Ffraide always spared his opponent when he won and Dragula never seemed strong enough to Finish Ffraide off.
While traveling around Ffraide began hearing of rumors of a little girl who hunted wolves in her forest. She supposedly wore a red hood some say it was white but now drenched with the blood of those who had crossed her path. She was told to have horrifying powers and unkillable even by Dragula who had come at one point to investigate. Ffraide was now interested he'd never heard of this 'Little red Riding Hood' Before as she had come to be called for some strange reason the nickname was terrifying to hear in use. Ffraide immediately decided to test this rumor and walked into the forest in his full wolf form to test her strength is she did in fact exist. He stayed in the forest for a while until he heard a low tune being hummed by a young girl who was walking through the forest with a red hood red eye and blonde hair. Ffraide could smell the blood on her and stepped out in front of her in his wolf form and challenged her with a growl. The young girl had stopped and stared at Ffraide the little girl then attack Ffraide and a destructive battle rocked the continent. During this battle Ffraide discovered the little girl controlled the dark energies Destruction and Catastrophe! (Think of the dark energy Tragedy and multiply it by Troll face Yukari and the sight isn't pretty.) Ffraide being a more experienced fighter eventually overcame the young girl and raised his claws to finish her off. He never did. Ffraide couldn't do it despite the danger she posed he couldn't bring himself to end the young girl's life so instead he took her with him. The rumors that Little Red Riding Hood' was eaten by a demon wolf were never proved. Yet some found enough proof to keep the rumor alive. Eventually the rumor turned into our story now given a happy ending. (I didn't post the real thing here it's a bit too graphic for most RPers.)
It took Ffraide a while to Pacify the Young Girl who he discovered was a Vampiri, but when he did he found she was a wonderful young girl. She destroyed many of his things though and through this they built a father daughter relationship. He raised her as his own and she did her best to please him no one is entirely sure why she became so loyal to him in such a short time. He became very protective of her striking out at anything that might be a threat. Ffraide was famous as the most protective father in the world for a while because of that. As she grew older and no longer, quiet needed a father Ffraide became something else he was now her brother always there for her, her best friend through all her hardships. One day while they were traveling Dragula reappeared and attacked Ffraide almost killing him. Selina not seeing this before freaked and used all her power on Dragula driving him away. While Ffraide laid on the ground bleeding Selina…well confessed everything she loved him more than just as a father or a brother she didn't want to leave him ever. From then on their loved bloomed I could go into details even make a heart pulling story out of it but I won't, at least not yet.
After that they had kids together (Selina is one of the few Vampiri who can give birth) and had a family of course dragula never left them alone and eventually he came at them with a god damned army of Vampires and Loup garou. Ffraide had his own army and Selina's sister commanded the vampiri and they fought. For years and years they fought a bloody battle until finally they crushed Dragula's army, and finally after what seemed like thousands of year they made that fucker take a good look at them and run off not nearly stupid enough to challenge them again. This wasn't a time for celebration however as soon afterwards they were told of another threat known only as 'The End'. A creature called an Alinu had appeared on Earth and warned it's two most powerful fighters about the coming End. After much arguing Ffraide mad it clear he would be t only one from earth to go and fight despite the arguments from the entire army at his back he silenced them….
Ffraide had made his decision he took hold of the demon gate and flung it open the power held within splashing against his chest as he began to move in his cape flying behind him as he stared into the End slowly approaching the Gate. Selina not willing to let him go along threw back those holding her and went to her lover's side Ffraide grinned manically as he stared into the demon gate. And his face held in a thrill he was excited with the prospect of his opponent he was thick with anticipation of the battle to come. A battle something told him he'd both win and lose. He stepped into the gate and began laughing as Selina followed him in they left the door in and the group of allies they had gathered watch the couple walk straight into the realm of End and challenge the force itself. The resulting battle was on full display as both warriors slaughter endless hordes of endlings and even killed three ushers before the End made itself a form and accepted their challenge. The resulting battle shook reality. Both parties fought savagely and without mercy. Then The End struck out at Selina almost killing and Ending her then and there. Ffraide let out a howl that shook all of existence in that moment and pure unadulterated power flowed out of him, his laughter filled every corner of existence and the light that shone from him burned like flames then the End's march stopped it could not proceed further Ffraide Selina and the End were stuck in those spots the End could not proceed through the now sealed demon gate the light died and the demons gate slammed itself shut….
Since then a reincarnation Cycle had begun where Ffraide and Sleina were reborn multiple times throughout Earth's history being reborn every time they die each time Earth was remade they were reborn along with it. Again and again throughout history their identities so strong that death could not banish them from the planet…and then 'our' Earth was made and…
Friade was originally born in a small apache village that watched as a rival war tribe drove up towards their land. His father was a large African American Lycan who had never used his power nor knew of them he married an Apache woman and together they had Fraide. Fraide's father was kill with a silver blade when he tried to keep the oncoming warriors from moving them out. The Apache upon seeing one of their own murdered under an apparent peace prospect assaulted the warriors and killed them. Fraide's mother took him and ran knowing that more solders would come in great force to move them out not much is known about his parents. Fraide was raised under his mother's wise protection until he was 12 when she declared him a man. She had found out about his father's lineage from his brother who had kept it a secret from him she knew that she couldn't take care of her son anymore and sent fraide with his uncle. He worked to control his lycan powers with his Uncle for years. Fraide had trouble controlling his blood thirst for years until he reached 18 he finally gained complete control his uncle said it was the shortest amount of time any lycan had ever train to control themselves. Fraide was proud of him and went to visit his mother to celebrate his uncle agreed saying it would be good for him to see her again. Fraide went back to where he had last seen his mother their old home that was located in a forest.
Fraide eventually found his mother living in their old home he arrived around midnight and was greeted by a hug from his still beautiful mother. Their reunion was short lived as a scream behind them drew their attention Fraide uncle had a hand through his gut. The vampire that was standing behind him threw fraide's uncle aside and marched towards fraide and his mother. Fraide growled and turned into his large Lycan from and charged the vampire but the dark creature was too quick for him it easily got around him and grabbed his mother he growled a low threat toward the vampire who laughed at his plight before the vampire got to feed Fraide's mother sliced through its arm with a silver tomahawk she made she then planted it into the vampires' head and backed off as quickly as possible. as the creature cursed and screamed trying to rip the silver poison from its body it demanded that Fraide and his mother be kill causing a group of ghouls to appear the main group of the ghouls piled on Fraide blocking his view Fraide threw the ghouls off of him and looked towards his mother and the vampire somehow in the time it took for fraide to rid himself of the ghouls the vampire had ripped his mother apart and drained her Fraide didn't even hear a scream.
Fraide wasn't surprised when Columbus arrived, his life until then had been long and sad he'd witnessed tribes murder each other as well as children murdered he delt with the Aztecs and the Mayans he traveled over the America's when they Conquesidors became their conquest he did his best to protect his home but he took ill like many other's to a disease that created extreme bloodlust in many of the Arch races. While many died of smallpox and measles and so on he attacked and destroyed mexicano encampments and gave the natives the idea of fighting back, unintentionally but it was still wrought from his doings. He watched his home change from the Garden of Eden it once was to a mockery of the old world. Eventually he decided fighting was pointless and disappeared for a few hundred years to train. He trained until the colonist that made up England's new colonies' revolted he joined them in the campaign for independence and fought in their army under George Washington he was at first regarded with snide comments and contempt because of his dark skin but he was eventually welcomed with open arms. While serving the American cause he was taught English and was even learned in the way of politics and battle strategy he accepted the humans help graciously and helped them in their enlargement by showing them parts of their world that they didn't explore yet. He was never ever recorded just as he asked it was really his only request that he was not mentioned in history.
Fraide later joined the American military again around the time of the civil war he became a soldier after finding a lycan pack and having them create a fake birth certificate. He got his first war experience in the civil war he swore he'd never take part in another he fought in many wars and would've died if anyone had a silver weapon luckily no one did he was there in bloody lane trying to help the wounded he waded through the blood of American brothers and cursed the countries stupidity. He fought he way to Gettysburg and was temporarily maimed by a cannon shell. He was one of the soldiers who brought in general Lee for surrender. After one of the civil war battles, Fraide found a girl who was injured and dying from stray cannon shot. He after much decision turned her and she survived if by only pure will power. Her name was Shay and she became a very close friend of his. He returned to his home that was inside one of the border states and their found a woman that he became smitten with her he courted her and eventually married her they lived happily together he even came out and told her that he was a Lycan, (she didn't care either way) she loved him. They had a family of two kids unfortunately neither of them lived past the teens.
A demon had been discovered in the city though it never got out that there was one, a man hunt began the demon burst into Fraide's home and took control of the house while he was gone fraide's family refused to cooperate Fraide got home just in time to once again be helpless and watch his family die. The monster splatter their blood on the walls and turn to Fraide and attacked him Fraide crushed the creature and gathered the remains from his family. He buried them outside. The towns people on their manhunt stopped by his home and were appalled by the scene they simply watch Fraide leave his once happy home and disappear into the darkness. From then on Fraide never got close to anyone he served in both world wars and was injured one many accounts his life has always been filled with blood and hate and he has a deep rage seated towards the other dark races. He does not forgive easily he one day met the Marrok and the Hellion (before the world wars) and in his rage and frustration challenged him and won Fraide became to new Hellion proving his power even thought he hadn't used it in years, he gained control over all the Lycan's packs but he didn't care he returned to his old home and stayed there his only company the girl he had turned almost 100 years ago during the civil war....
When the outbreak of the dark occurred Friade didn't make a move he simply let things go on as the always had nothing changed for him so the humans were now completely aware of the Arch races it didn't really change anything. He ran his lycans as he normally did with no real passion. But then something changed something was about to throw the world into deeper shit than it already was in. In the short eight years between the outbreak of the Dark and the Infection Fraide noticed something and for a year he was gone none of the Lycans could sense him that whole last year he was gone things went to hell. Nothing would be the same ever again...
The infection hit violently a plague that seemed unstoppable it reach so far as to encompass the entire globe. Before anyone even knew what was really happening if had taken out 3/4ths the earth population (leaving most of the wildlife intact unless they fed near or on infected things.) The Hellion then appeared when the Lycans thought they were going to be wiped from the Earth he filled the Lycans with an unmatched unyielding rage so pure and destructive that they took all of Alaska in the great Lycan rampage. In that one fell swoop he grabbed his race a strong foothold for survival. The Lycans soon realized something was different about their Hellion he was more passionate and animated he had purpose and they were affected by it adopting the same qualities as their leader. The Hellion wasn't gonna let his race die the lycan may be down but, Friade would be damned if they were out. Extinction was not an option the crippled Lycans wouldn't go silently into the night...
