The Healthy Vegetarian
For years, general health guidelines suggested that individuals could not get all the nutrients they need when following a strict vegetarian diet. Vegetarians were considered by nutritionists to be at nutritional risk due to potential deficiencies of essential nutrients. But finally, the tables have turned.
Recent research has shown that populations who eat a vegetarian diet not only can meet their nutrient needs, but also have a lower incidence of chronic diseases typical of Western societies. Rates of cancers, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and diverticulosis are lower among vegetarians when compared to their meat-eating counterparts.
Vegetarians come in many forms.
Some individuals consider themselves vegetarian, but eat fish. Some dont eat animal flesh, but eat eggs and dairy. Still others avoid any food made with or from animals or animal products. Therefore, strategies for meeting nutrient needs vary, depending upon the definition of vegetarian used by each individual.
While a nutritionally complete diet is possible for all vegetarians, individuals accepting this lifestyle change must eat smart. Following a Western diet, but without the meat is not always an adequate strategy for meeting the nutrient needs that meat provides. And during a time when controversial high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets are getting all the press, some vegetarian diets may pose just the opposite problem. Ordering a portabello mushroom sandwich and a salad for lunch as a vegetarian choice may provide all carbohydrates without any protein, guaranteeing energy and mood swings later in the afternoon.
Balance and moderation is vital for vegetarians.
As always, balance and moderation is vital for vegetarians. When removing animal protein, care must be taken to ensure that a balance of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats are provided in each meal or snack as a means of moderating blood sugar, energy and satiety. The portabello mushroom will offer delicious flavor to the sandwich, but will not provide much in the way of protein. Accenting the sandwich with a bean salad, barley or lentil soup or a glass of dairy or soymilk will balance the meal with dietary protein. Other protein sources include all other legumes, nuts, seeds, nut butters, cheeses, yogurt, tofu, tempeh, whole grains such as quinoa, and eggs.
True vegans who eat no animal products at all generally require vitamin B 12 supplementation, as it is only found in animal foods. In the past, popular literature suggested that miso, tempeh, tamari, sea vegetables and some greens were adequate vitamin B 12 sources due to either their fermentation status, or to healthy contamination with vitamin B 12 producing bacteria. However, research has shown that these foods do not consistently provide vitamin B 12, and that even if the vitamin is present, it is generally in an analogue form not easily used by the body. Therefore, all vegans should proactively consume foods fortified with vitamin B 12 as indicated on the food label. Fortified products include breakfast cereals, fortified meat substitute products and fortified soy and grain milks. If such foods are not eaten with regularity, vegans should take a vitamin B 12 supplement to ensure they receive this essential nutrient.
Another nutrient to consider is vitamin D. Found generally in the food supply in fortified dairy products, vitamin D is also produced in our bodies from adequate sun exposure to skin. For vegetarians who do not use dairy products and whose local climate or lifestyle does not provide regular bouts of sunshine, supplementation may be warranted.
Variety is key.
In addition to balance and moderation, individuals following a vegetarian lifestyle should also be sure to have variety in their diet. Top food allergens are dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, seafood and wheat, and the vegetarians over-reliance on any one of these foods as a calorie or protein source may result in an eventual intolerance or sensitivity. Therefore, using soy milk for breakfast, tofu at lunch, tempeh at dinner and edamame as a snack, for some sensitive individuals, may push the soy envelope to the extreme. In this example, enjoying a variety of soy products over the course of a week, and incorporating other protein food sources each day may be a better option.
Concerned with whether or not your vegetarian diet is meeting all of your needs? A registered dietitian can help by completing a quick diet assessment. For specific life cycle needs, such as childhood growth or pregnancy, a nutrition professional can also support your healthy dietary goals.
Important nutrients for anyone on a vegetarian or vegan diet:
Fortified breads and cerealsLegumes (lentils, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, etc.) Dried apricots, prunes, raisinsSea vegetables (dulse, alaria, kelp, nori) Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seedsBlackstrap molasses
*To optimize iron absorption from non-animal food sources, be sure to eat a food rich in vitamin C at the same time. Vitamin C sources include citrus fruits, kiwi, strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, papaya, mangoes, guava and honeydew.

This little project has all the hallmarks of a fabulous kid project. It lets them make a bit of a mess, gets them working toward a common goal, and cleans up easy-peasy.
Find more tried-and-tested family vacation tips at WeJustGotBack.com
Step 1: Materials
You will need:
* two or more bored kids in the backseat
* one roll of masking tape for each kid
Step 2: Create a dividing line
Start by using one or two strips of tape to mark off a line down the middle of the backseat.
Step 3: Add tape strips at different levels
Place additional tape strips horizonally to start to build the wall.
Step 4: Create a lattice
Before you know it, the wall will take shape. Have the kids continue to add strips for as long as they want, making the wall as solid as they like.
Step 5: Tear it down and clean up
Part of the fun is tearing down the wall when you get to your destination. Roll the tape into a ball when you're finished. No muss, no fuss.
Why didn't I think of it before ????
I feel like we've lost billions of QUIET miles instead of the every 30 miles drama we did experience each summer …
Now it's a little be late to implement this project.
Maybe the grandchildren when they come ?… Yes ! But when ?…
I only have to pass the word among my younger friends for whom this will still be most welcome !…
Thank you !…

Psychology of Aging
As a requirement for this course you are asked to participate In the Service Learning Program which involves spending approximately one to two hours per week for 8 weeks with an older adult at one of the Service Learning Program placements (see me for other options). Remember that your placement is a learning environment. You will be required to maintain a log (journal) in which you will document your thoughts, feelings and observations regarding these experiences. Your log book counts for 30% of your final grade. I will collect and grade your books periodically throughout the course, with one week notice when I will collect them. I prefer that your log be kept on computer and printed out on paper, but if this is not feasible, please write your log clearly in a note book. While visiting, keep the following questions in mind and answer these in full and thoughtful sentences in your log book. You are not limited to these questions. Please see me immediately if you have any questions, problems, or other issues associated with your placement.
*Log Book Assignment 1*: Before your first placement visit, write down a few of the myths of aging that you have held or currently still hold. Additionally, question approximately 10 people regarding some of the myths that are associated with aging. Try to survey people of different ethnicity and backgrounds. What are their views of aging? Would you say that, for the most part, the people you surveyed have a positive or negative view of aging? What about your views on aging, primarily positive or negative?
Visit 1 Make sure you are comfortable in this situation and also that others feel comfortable around you. What do you notice about the people here'? Are they generally happy or sad, agitated or calm? During your first visit, are any of the myths that you thought were true about the elderly evident here? While at your first visit, keep in mind the biopsychosocial method of study outlined in your book. Why do you think these three branches of study are necessary to fully understand what is happening as we get older? Discuss the various definitions of age and find examples in your placement.
Visit 2 During the second and third weeks of the course we will discuss various biological changes that naturally occur in the brain and body of people as we get older. For your second visit, keep in mind what we learned in class. Are any of the changes that we talked about evident in this population? How can you tell? What methods are used for compensation? Do you think the facility is aware that the environment that elderly people are in can either help or hinder their sensory limitations?
VISIT 3 What health factors do you notice at your placement? Do these older adults typically smoke? Drink alcohol? Does the atmosphere appear stressful for the patrons?
*Log Book Assignment II*: Changing behaviors. This involves informal interviews of a few of your classmates or acquaintances. If you know someone who smokes, find out if they are aware of the long-term effects of smoking (emphysema, lung cancer). Describe these diseases to them (outline your presentation in your log book). If they are aware of the dangers that await them, do they still choose to smoke? Why? What are your thoughts? If you can't find a smoker, have a similar discussion with people you know who are interested in keeping that California tan. Warn them of the dangers of exposure to the sun and how that may affect them later in life. Will they change their current behaviors to avoid disease in later life'? Why or why not? You may choose your own health hazard as well.
VISIT 4 At this point we have discussed information processing. Are you able to detect any deficits in attention in the person you are with this quarter? If yes, is it in selective attention, the capacity of attention, or vigilance? Do you notice that their psychomotor speed is slower than yours? What might account for this? Do they still drive? If yes, do you think they should? If no, do you think they could? What kind of arguments could be given for both sides?
VISIT 5 A common complaint among the elderly is that their memory isn't the same as it used to be. Is there an obvious memory impairment in the person you are in contact with? Does s/he complain of memory failures? What kind of an impact does this have on this person? What is his/her outlook on his/her future? Is s/he looking forward to it?
VISIT 6 What do you think intelligence is? If an older person appears less intelligent, what might be some other factors responsible for this decline? What are some difficulties with research on this topic (compare and contrast research methodologies). Can you detect a difference between fluid and crystallized intelligence in this person? If you are studying a person with Alzheimers disease, is any aspect of his/her intelligence spared? How could this be measured?
VISIT 7 Discuss the usefulness of adopting the biopsychosocial model in the study of older adults.
VISIT 8 Your last visit. What have you gained from this experience?
*Log Book Assignment III*: Your task is to design a facility for senior citizens. Assume you have unlimited funds. Include specifics about the building layout and also social programs for older adults. Include justifications for your facility.

Breastfeeding (cont.) Medical Author:
Allahyar Jazayeri, MD, PhD
Medical Editor:
Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD, Chief Medical Editor
Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD, Chief Medical EditorMelissa Conrad Stöppler, MD, is a U.S. board-certified Anatomic Pathologist with subspecialty training in the fields of Experimental and Molecular Pathology.

Benefits of BreastfeedingWith rare exceptions, breast milk is the preferred feeding for infants and confers unique benefits. Breastfed babies (for at least six months) may be at reduced risk for many acute and chronic diseases, including gastrointestinal tract infection (like diarrhea), irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory tract infections (like a cold), urinary tract infections, otitis media (ear infections), and allergic reactions (like atopic dermatitis and asthma). Breastfeeding also has been shown to reduce pain in infants undergoing painful procedures. Exclusive breastfeeding has been shown to help infants recover faster from major illnesses such as pneumonia, with shorter hospital stays and decreased need of antibiotic changes than formula-fed babies. The effect of breastfeeding in protecting against infection is well established. Infants who were fully breastfed for six months or more seem to have higher mental development when compared with infants who were never breastfed. Some studies show that the effects of breastfeeding may carry over and also protect young children and adolescents from becoming overweight, having elevated cholesterol levels, and developing diabetes or prediabetes. Either exclusive breastfeeding for four months or breastfeeding with some formula supplementation for six months reduces risk of being overweight. Breastfeeding may also impact adult health. In some studies, breastfed infants were more likely to have good cholesterol levels and normal weight as adults than those who were not breastfed.

Love this e/s brush! It's soft and thick, unlike the UD brushed that came with the Naked palettes. It's the only brush I use with my eyeshadows. Really great with no shedding(at least mine).
Very soft bristles, have not shed at all despite once-a-week washes. Does its job of blending eyeshadows onto my lids nicely. Bit pricey, but for its quality, worth it.
This is my go-to line for brushes. I've had some of them for almost two years and I've never had a single bristle fall out of any of them. The are eco-friendly and affordable as well. When I worked in cosmetics, these are the brushes I would tell everyone to buy.
Don't know what else to say about this brush in particular- it's a pretty typical eyeshadow brush!
Great for blending out harsh lines & blending colours into each other. I use it every day since I prefer a softer look on my eyes. Another awesome brush from Eco Tools at a great price!

I Really don't like this as an eye shadow brush.It doesn't pick up much color and what it does pick up isn't put down evenly.It is just too thick to be an eye shadow brush.

I know it's a e/s brush, but it also works as a concealer brush
Price: ~$4 CAD
Shape: fluffy, tapered shell
Texture: soft but firm
Since it has a firmness to it, I like to use it as my concealer brush. It doesn't pick up much e/s for me. So I dab on concealer using the tapered point on acne spot and blend out the edges of the concealer only.
I don't use this brush for eyes, cause I feel like it's too big for that. But it's good for other uses! Like filling in my brows and contouring my nose and stuff~ Good brush! :)
Great brush for packing on powder eye shadow, applying loose shadow wet and cream eye shadow. Can be harder to work with powders that are predisposed to fallout. I've had mine for years being washed weekly and hasn't shed one hair or changed consistency.

I actually use this brush for applying concealer. It blends well, it's soft on the skin, and the pointed/domed tip is good for getting in small areas. A little product goes a long way with this brush. I can't live without it

Cyprinidae are a large family of freshwater fishes that comprise the carps, the true minnows, and their relatives (for example, the barbs and barbels). Commonly called the carp family or the minnow family, its members are also known as cyprinids. It is the largest fish family and the largest family of vertebrate animals in general, with over 2,400 species in about 220 genera. The family belongs to the order Cypriniformes, of whose genera and species the cyprinids make up two-thirds.[1] The family name is derived from the Ancient Greek kyprînos (κυπρῖνος, "carp"),
Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are species-specific and are used by specialists to determine species. Strong pharyngeal teeth allow fish such as the common carp and ide to eat hard baits like snails and bivalves.
Hearing is a well-developed sense, since the cyprinds have the Weberian organ, three specialized vertebral processes that transfer motion of the gas bladder to the inner ear. This construction is also used to observe motion of the gas bladder due to atmospheric conditions or depth changes. The cyprinids are physostomes because the pneumatic duct is retained in adult stages and the fish are able to gulp air to fill the gas bladder or they can dispose excess gas to the gut.
The fish in this family are native to North America, Africa, and Eurasia. The largest cyprinid in this family is the giant barb (Catlocarpio siamensis), which may grow up to 3 m (9.8 ft). The largest North American species is the Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius), of which individuals up to 6 ft (1.8 m) long and weighing over 100 lb (45 kg) have been recorded.
Conversely, many species are smaller than 5 centimetres (2.0 in). As of 2008, the smallest known freshwater fish is a cypriniform, Danionella translucida, reaching 12 mm (0.47 in) at the longest.[2] All fish in this family are egg-layers and most do not guard their eggs; however, a few species build nests and/or guard the eggs. The bitterling-like cyprinids (Acheilognathinae) are notable for depositing their eggs in bivalve molluscs, where the young grow up until able to fend for themselves.
Most cyprinids feed mainly on invertebrates and vegetation, probably due to the lack of teeth and stomach, but some species like the asp specialize in fish. Many species (ide, common rudd) will eat small fish, however, when reaching a certain size. Even small species such as the moderlieschen eat larvae of the common frog in artificial circumstances.
Some fish, such as the grass carp, are specialized in eating vegetation; others, such as the common nase, eat algae from hard surfaces, while others, such as the black carp, specialize in snails, and some, such as the silver carp, are specialized filter feeders. For this reason, they are often introduced as a management tool to control various factors in the aquatic environment, such as aquatic vegetation and diseases transmitted by snails.
Relationship with humans[edit]
Cyprinids are highly important food fish; they are fished and farmed across Eurasia. In land-locked countries in particular, cyprinids are often the major species of fish eaten because they make the largest part of biomass in most water types except for fast-flowing rivers. In nonlandlocked countries, they are not appreciated due to the high number of bones. In Eastern Europe, they are often prepared with traditional methods such as drying and salting. The prevalence of inexpensive frozen fish products made this less important now than it was in earlier times. Nonetheless, in certain places, they remain popular for food, as well as recreational fishing, and have been deliberately stocked in ponds and lakes for centuries for this reason.[4]
Cyprinids are popular for angling especially for match fishing (due to their dominance in biomass and numbers) and fishing for common carp because of its size and strength.
Several cyprinids have been introduced to waters outside their natural ranges to provide food, sport, or biological control for some pest species. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) are the most important of these, for example in Florida. In some cases, these have become invasive species that compete with native fishes or disrupt the environment. Carp in particular can stir up sediment, reducing the clarity of the water and making it difficult for plants to grow.[5]
Numerous cyprinids have become important in the aquarium hobby, most famously the goldfish, which was bred in China from the Prussian carp (Carassius (auratus) gibelio). First imported into Europe around 1728, it was much fancied by Chinese nobility as early as 1150 AD and after it arrived there in 1502, also in Japan. In the latter country, from the 18th century onwards, the common carp was bred into the ornamental variety known as koi – or more accurately nishikigoi (錦鯉), as koi (鯉) simply means "common carp" in Japanese.
Other popular aquarium cyprinids include danionins, rasborines and true barbs.[6] Larger species are bred by the thousands in outdoor ponds, particularly in Southeast Asia, and trade in these aquarium fishes is of considerable commercial importance. The small rasborines and danionines are perhaps only rivalled by characids and poecilid livebearers in their popularity for community aquaria.[citation needed]
One particular species of these small and undemanding danionines is the zebrafish (Danio rerio). It has become the standard model species for studying developmental genetics of vertebrates, in particular fish.[7]
Habitat destruction and other causes have reduced the wild stocks of several cyprinids to dangerously low levels; some are already entirely extinct. In particular, Leuciscinae from southwestern North America have been hit hard by pollution and unsustainable water use in the early- to mid-20th century; most globally extinct Cypriniformes species are in fact Leuciscinae from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
The massive diversity of cyprinids has so far made it difficult to resolve their phylogeny in sufficient detail to make assignment to subfamilies more than tentative in many cases. Some distinct lineages obviously exist – for example, Cultrinae and Leuciscinae, regardless of their exact delimitation, are rather close relatives and stand apart from Cyprininae –, but the overall systematics and taxonomy of the Cyprinidae remain a subject of considerable debate. A large number of genera are incertae sedis, too equivocal in their traits and/or too little-studied to permit assignment to a particular subfamily with any certainty.[8]
Part of the solution seems that the delicate rasborines are the core group, consisting of minor lineages that have not shifted far from their evolutionary niche, or have coevolved for millions of years. These are among the most basal lineages of living cyprinids. Other "rasborines" are apparently distributed across the diverse lineages of the family.[9]
The validity and circumscription of proposed subfamilies like Labeoninae or Squaliobarbinae also remains doubtful, although the latter do appear to correspond to a distinct lineage. The sometimes-seen grouping of the large-headed carps (Hypophthalmichthyinae) with Xenocypris, though, seems quite in error. More likely, the latter are part of the Cultrinae.[9]
The entirely paraphyletic "Barbinae" and the disputed Labeoninae might be better treated as part of the Cyprininae, forming a close-knit group whose internal relationships are still little known. The small African "barbs" do not belong in Barbus sensu stricto – indeed, they are as distant from the typical barbels and the typical carps (Cyprinus) as these are from Garra (which is placed in the Labeoninae by most who accept the latter as distinct) and thus might form another as yet unnamed subfamily. However, as noted above, how various minor lineages tie into this has not yet been resolved; therefore, such a radical move, though reasonable, is probably premature.[10]
The tench (Tinca tinca), a significant food species farmed in western Eurasia in large numbers, is unusual. It is most often grouped with the Leuciscinae, but even when these were rather loosely circumscribed, it always stood apart. A cladistic analysis of DNA sequence data of the S7 ribosomal protein intron 1 supports the view that it is distinct enough to constitute a monotypic subfamily. It also suggests it may be closer to the small East Asian Aphyocypris, Hemigrammocypris, and Yaoshanicus. They would have diverged roughly at the same time from cyprinids of east-central Asia, perhaps as a result of the Alpide orogeny that vastly changed the topography of that region in the late Paleogene, when their divergence presumably occurred.[11]
A DNA based analysis of these fish places Rasborinae as the basal lineage with Cyprininae as a sister clade to Leuciscinae.[12] The subfamilies Acheilognathinae, Gobioninae and Leuciscinae are monophylitic.
Subfamilies and genera[edit]
Subfamily Leuciscinae – chubs, daces, true minnows, roaches, shiners and so on.
Subfamily Rasborinae – rasborines
Subfamily Squaliobarbinae
Subfamily Tincinae
Subfamily Xenocyprinae
Unlike most fish species, cyprinid fish generally increase in abundance in eutrophic lakes. Here, they contribute towards positive feedback as they are efficient at eating zooplankton which would otherwise graze on the algae, reducing its abundance.

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
Auguste Rodin
The Road Less Travelled
M. Scott Peck, M.D.
Your journey through life is not always smooth and easy. Sometimes unexpected obstacles can change your direction and it might seem like you can never get back on track. Thousands of people all over North America are diagnosed yearly with schizophrenia, bipolar, and many other mental health disorders that are familial, biological and sometimes rooted in the developmental stages. Obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic attacks and many other anxiety disorders are also running rampant today. When facing these circumstances, quality options for treatment are necessary.
You may have friends or families that are willing to help; unfortunately, they may not know where to start or fully understand what you are going through. You may have also tried self-help techniques in hopes of getting well, only to find that this led to harsh disappointments, rendering all unprofessional treatments ineffective.
You can choose to continue down this same frustrating path of treatments or instead choose to work with a psychotherapist expert who knows how to handle the issues you are facing and guide you towards a healthy recovery.
Dr. Pham, a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles and an expert in psychotherapy, has helped hundreds of patients improve the quality of their lives and relationships. Dr. Pham has a vast experience in dealing with different patients from providing anxiety therapy to solving bipolar disorders to schizophrenia. Therapy with her is a process of deep emotional understanding and relationship development to work through challenges in your life. She is committed to help you resolve things that may have led to regression, suppression and many other unhealthy coping mechanisms. Through transformational journeys of self-discovery, you will understand and cope with issues that have kept you from having a happy and fulfilling life.

Eagles Tickets and Concert Dates
In today's faddish, fractured rock landscape, it's refreshing that classic bands like the Eagles retain an appeal that transcends both generation and genre -- Dad may not know what Spotify is, and Little Johnny may not know what LP stands for, but chances are both know the words to "Hotel California." As the best-selling American band of the '70s, and one of the top-selling acts of all time, the Eagles' relaxed harmonies and California-inspired sound came to define what critics eventually dubbed classic rock, and cemented their role as enduring musical icons. Since forming in 1971, the band has undergone breakups, makeups, and more than its fair share of success and drama – so much drama, in fact, that 2013's career-spanning documentary History of the Eagles had to be released as a two-parter. In support of the film, the Eagles are back on the road in 2013 for the History of the Eagles tour, which frontman Don Henley has hinted may be their last – meaning this may well be fans' final opportunity to see the Eagles play their greatest hits in concert.
After playing together as Linda Ronstadt's backing band in the early '70s, the Eagles hit the ground running with their self-titled debut in 1972, which spawned the Top 40 country rock hits "Take It Easy, "Witchy Woman," and "Peaceful Easy Feeling." Follow-up effort Desperado contained one of the band's most enduringly popular songs with its title track, and established the collaborative songwriting relationship between Don Henley and Glenn Frey that would prove so crucial to the band's future success. 1974's On The Border, which saw the band breaking away from country music in favor of a more rock and roll sound, earned the band their first No. 1 single with "Best of My Love," but it was 1975's One Of These Nights that really heralded the Eagles' arrival as one of America's biggest bands, earning them a Grammy for the single "Lyin' Eyes." In 1976, the Eagles released the album that would contribute most to their legacy in popular culture – Hotel California became their best-selling album, and the album's title track won Record of the Year at the 1977 Grammys.
The band's astronomical success and grueling tour schedule began to take its toll, and with tensions running high, the band called it quits after a 1980 concert in Long Beach, CA, that the band refers to as "Long Night at Wrong Beach." Henley and Frey both pursued successful solo careers in the '80s, including Henley's successful collaboration with then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks, but it wasn't until 1994's Hell Freezes Over tour and live album that the band reunited for the first time. Despite being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, fans had to wait until 2007 for Long Road Out of Eden – the band's first new studio material in over 28 years. The album earned 2 Grammys, and definitively proved a commitment and staying power that the Eagles continue to display in their impressive live shows.

Among the oldest of India's spiritual texts, the Upanishads are records of intensive question-and-answer sessions given by illumined sages to their students - in ashrams, at family gatherings, in a royal court, and in the kingdom of Death. The sages share flashes of insight, extraordinary visions, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself. The Upanishads have puzzled and inspired wisdom seekers from Yeats to Schopenhauer. In this best-selling translation, Eknath Easwaran makes these challenging texts more accessible by selecting the passages most relevant to readers seeking timeless truths today. This book includes an overview of the cultural and historical setting, with chapter introductions, notes, and a Sanskrit glossary. But it is Easwaran's understanding of the wisdom of the Upanishads that makes this edition truly outstanding. Each sage, each Upanishad, appeals in a different way to the reader's head and heart. For Easwaran, the Upanishads are part of India's precious legacy, not just to Hinduism but to humanity, and in that spirit they are offered here.
Eknath Easwaran (1910-1999) is respected around the world as one of the twentieth century's great spiritual teachers and an authentic guide to timeless wisdom. Although he did not travel or seek large audiences, his books on meditation, spiritual living, and the classics of world mysticism have been translated into twenty-six languages. More than 1.5 million copies of Easwaran's books are in print.
His book Meditation, now titled Passage Meditation, has sold over 200,000 copies since it was first published in 1978. His Classics of Indian Spirituality - translations of The Bhagavad Gita, The Dhammapada, and The Upanishads - have been warmly praised by Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions, and all three books are bestsellers in their field. The Nilgiri Press editorial team, under the supervision of Easwaran's wife, Christine Easwaran, continues to publish new books and talks, drawing on the vast archive of Easwaran's unpublished transcripts.
A gifted teacher who lived for many years in the West, Easwaran lived what he taught, giving him enduring appeal as a teacher and author of deep insight and warmth.
Easwaran's mission was to extend to everyone, "with an open hand," the spiritual disciplines that had brought such rich benefits to his own life. For forty years he devoted his life to teaching the practical essentials of the spiritual life as found in every religion. He taught a universal message that although the body is mortal, within every creature there is a spark of divinity that can never die. And he taught and lived a method that any man or woman can use to reach that inborn divinity and draw on it for love and wisdom in everyday life.
Whenever asked what religion he followed, Easwaran would reply that he belonged to all religions. His teachings reached people in every faith. He often quoted the words of Mahatma Gandhi, who influenced him deeply: "I have not the shadow of a doubt that every man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith."
Eknath Easwaran (1910-1999) was born into an ancient matrilineal family in Kerala state, South India. There he grew up under the close guidance of his mother's mother, Eknath Chippu Kunchi Ammal, whom he honored throughout his life as his spiritual teacher. From her he learned the traditional wisdom of India's ancient scriptures. An unlettered village woman, she taught him through her daily life, which was permeated by her continuous awareness of God, that spiritual practice is something to be lived out each day in the midst of family and community.
Growing up in British India, Easwaran first learned English in his village high school, where the doors were opened to the treasure-house of English literature. At sixteen, he left his village to attend a nearby Catholic college. There his passionate love of English literature intensified and he acquired a deep appreciation of the Christian tradition.
Later, contact with the YMCA and close friendships within the Muslim and Christian communities enriched his sense of the universality of spiritual truths. Easwaran often recalled with pride that he grew up in "Gandhi's India" - the historic years when Mahatma Gandhi was leading the Indian people to freedom from British rule through nonviolence. As a young man, Easwaran met Gandhi and the experience of sitting near him at his evening prayer meetings left a lasting impression. The lesson he learned from Gandhi was the power of the individual: the immense resources that emerge into life when a seemingly ordinary person transforms himself completely.
After graduate work at the University of Nagpur in Central India, where he took first-class degrees in literature and in law, Easwaran entered the teaching profession, eventually returning to Nagpur to become a full professor and head of the department of English. By this time he had acquired a reputation as a writer and speaker, contributing regularly to the Times of India and giving talks on English literature for All-India Radio.
At this juncture, he would recall, "All my success turned to ashes." The death of his grandmother in the same year as Gandhi's assassination prompted him to turn inward.
Following Gandhi's inspiration, he became deeply absorbed in the Bhagavad Gita, India's best-known scripture. Meditation on passages from the Gita and other world scriptures quickly developed into the method of meditation that today is associated with his name.
Eknath Easwaran was Professor of English Literature at the University of Nagpur when he came to the United States on the Fulbright exchange program in 1959. Soon he was giving talks on India's spiritual tradition throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. At one such talk he met his future wife, Christine, with whom he established the organization that became the vehicle for his life's work. The mission of the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation, founded in 1961, is the same today as when it was founded: to teach the eight-point program of passage meditation aimed at helping ordinary people conquer physical and emotional problems, release creativity, and pursue life's highest goal, Self-realization.
After a return to India, Easwaran came back to California in 1965. He lived in the San Francisco Bay Area the rest of his life, dedicating himself to the responsive American audiences that began flowing into his classes in the turbulent Berkeley of the late 1960s, when meditation was suddenly "in the air." His quiet yet impassioned voice reached many hundreds of students in those turbulent years.
Always a writer, Easwaran started a small press in Berkeley to serve as the publishing branch of the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation. Nilgiri Press was named after the Nilgiris or "Blue Mountains" in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, where Easwaran had maintained a home for some years. The press moved to Tomales, California, when the Center bought property there for a permanent headquarters in 1970. Nilgiri Press did the preproduction work for his first book, Gandhi the Man, and began full book manufacturing with his Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living in 1975.
In thousands of talks and his many books Easwaran taught passage meditation and his eight-point program to an audience that now extends around the world. Rather than travel and attract large crowds, he chose to remain in one place and teach in small groups - a preference that was his hallmark as a teacher even in India. "I am still an educator," he liked to say. "But formerly it was education for degrees; now it is education for living." His work is being carried forward by Christine Easwaran, who has worked by his side for forty years, by the students he trained for thirty years, and by the organization he founded to ensure the continuity of his teachings, the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation.

Army Specialist Mark Wilkerson
On Thursday, August 31st, Army Specialist Mark
Wilkerson joined the growing numbers of war
resisters speaking out about their refusal to participate
in the illegal war in Iraq. With the support of
, after being AWOL for a year and a
half, Mark issued a public statement from Camp
Casey and then turned himself in to Fort Hood to
face the consequences of his courageous decision.
Mark has been absent without leave since January '05
when his unit was about to be deployed to Iraq for the
second time. Mark saw that the war was wrong and
tried unsuccessfully to apply for conscientious objector
status. Mark's willingness to publicly resist and surrender himself back to the military has the potential of empowering the estimated 8,000 resistors to speak up and out about the war.

Statement by Mark Wilkerson
Thursday August 31, 2006, Camp Casey, Crawford, TX
First, I would like to thank you all for being here today. Today is a big day for me. I am turning myself in from being absent without leave, or AWOL, from the military. I have been AWOL for a year and a half.
My name is Mark Wilkerson. My experience in the Army began in June 2002, shortly after my high school graduation. I enlisted prior to September 11, but I found a new resolve to join after that tragic day. I thought that somehow, through my upcoming military experience, I would be able avenge those people that had been killed on that day. After basic training, I ended up in Ft. Hood, TX where in March 2003, I deployed to Iraq with the 720th Military Police Battalion. I was nervous and scared, but at that time I was supportive of my president's decision to go into Iraq, and I was optimistic about the good things that we could do there for the people of Iraq. I quickly learned that wasn't going to happen. There were many experiences that I had in Iraq that made me question my mission, and also made me change the way I viewed spirituality, relationships, our government, and my life in general. It was a complete life turn-around, which allowed me to come to the conclusion that military service was no longer the correct path for me to take. This revelation led me to apply as a Conscientious Objector, or C.O., immediately upon return from Iraq in March 2004.
The military states that a conscientious objector is a person who objects to participation in all forms of war, and whose belief is based on a religious, moral or ethical belief system. I felt I met those requirements, though the military disagreed. I told myself I would never return to Iraq, but that I would make sure I was discharged in the right and legal way. I told myself I would never go AWOL. In July, while my C.O. paper was still being processed, my unit was told we were returning to Iraq in January 2005.
My C.O. claim was denied in November, so I applied for a rebuttal, and was told it wouldn't be considered until my return from Iraq, more than a year away. So I made the difficult decision to go AWOL, for political, spiritual, and personal reasons. I am not willing to kill, or be killed, or do anything else I consider morally wrong, for reasons I don't believe in, and now today, I am turning myself in to face the consequences of my actions.
I read a USA Today article that said that there are over 8,000 soldiers who have gone AWOL during the Iraq War. I think it would be naïve to assume that all 8,000 went AWOL in direct protest to the Iraq War, but I'm sure that many of them did. So this message is for those of who are AWOL right now: you are not alone. Don't let anyone judge you for what you believe in.
As of August 27,there have been 2,628 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, on top of the over 19,000 wounded there. I honor and respect every soldier who has made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I honor them and their families. May the soldiers who have been killed remind each and every one of us that life is short, and life is fragile, and life must be respected. I also respect every soldier who makes the decision to enlist into the military, and to go to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, regardless of their personal opinions on war. Let me remind you all as well that there are many other soldiers who should not be forgotten either, and that's the large number who return from war with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, which is very hard to diagnose. And without treatment, many of these soldiers have a very difficult time adjusting to their normal lives. Many soldiers affected with this disorder, this injury, don't come forward to make a claim, for one reason or another. Again, I say to them: you are not alone. If you have a family member who is suffering, urge them to come forward and tell someone who can help. And I say this to every member of our Congress and our senate, and even our president: Don't leave any soldier behind. Give them the help and support they need, because you sent them there.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported me along this journey of the past year and a half- Family, friends, fellow veterans. When I left the army, I made what I felt was the right decision for me to make. I joined the military with honorable intentions, and I still feel honor in my heart. I love my country; I want no one to doubt that. I am unsure of what actions and punishments will be placed on me for my decision. I am scared, but I go with peace in my heart and hope for the future- not only my future, but the country's future as well. This is a difficult and scary time for our country, but hopefully in the end, peace will rule this great land. John F. Kennedy once said that war will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today. I look forward to that day. There comes a time in a person's life when they must do the right moral decision for themselves, doubtless of how popular that decision is in other's eyes, or what others feel about it. While I would not consider myself a very religious man, I do believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ. I would like to share two passages from the bible. The first - from Psalms Chapter 33, verse 5: Seek peace, and pursue it. The second from Matthew chapter 5, verse 9 - Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. I believe that through my actions, I am doing my best to live by the values stated in those quotes. Thank You

When Dr. Neal S. Young graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1971, almost all patients who developed severe aplastic anemia (AA) died within just a few months. Today, nearly four decades later, their outlook is much improved. With modern immunosuppressive therapy and stem cell transplantation, more than 75 percent of patients diagnosed with AA survive at least five years. An important part of this progress has resulted from the ground-breaking laboratory work and clinical trial programs of Dr. Young and his colleagues in the Bone Marrow Failure Program at the Hematology Branch of the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Yesterday, Dr. Young — now the chief of the NIH Hematology Branch — discussed these exciting developments in biology and treatment of bone marrow failure when he presented the honorary E. Donnall Thomas Lecture.
One of the first obstacles that Dr. Young had to overcome to move toward a better understanding of the pathobiology of marrow failure was the widespread perception that AA is a difficult or even impossible disorder to study because of its heterogeneity, coupled with the paucity of cells in the marrow to examine. But epidemiological observations and other clues (e.g., the extreme hypocellular marrow seen in murine models of graft-versus-host disease, and AA's concordance with other autoimmune disorders) suggested that AA was perhaps an autoimmune condition. Early successes with immunosuppressive therapies then prompted further mechanistic laboratory studies. As Dr. Young stated, "The pleasure in studying AA has really been the true bidirectional nature of translation between clinical observations and laboratory results."
There are still many unanswered questions about AA etiology. For instance, the post-hepatitis forms of AA seem likely to be initiated by an aberrant response to a viral infection, yet markers of known hepatitis viruses are usually absent. A large NIH epidemiologic study in Thailand that Dr. Young mentioned in his presentation also indicated that a virus is likely to underlie many cases of AA. Likewise, interest in viral causes of AA stimulated the NIH Hematology Branch's work on parvovirus B19.
Improved understanding of AA has yielded insights into other related marrow failure disorders, such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), which share several clinical features with AA and can also evolve from AA. For instance, a subset of patients with MDS will respond to AA-like treatments including anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). Data from Dr. Young and his colleagues suggest that MDS patients with trisomy 8 obtain clinical benefit with ATG just as frequently as patients with deletion of chromosome 5q respond to lenalidomide. In addition, emerging AA-related pathobiological mechanisms such as excessive telomere shortening and alterations in stem cell/progenitor cell dynamics appear to have broad relevance in other fields, including neoplasia generally.
A recent high-profile event illustrates just how influential Dr. Young and the NIH Hematology Branch have become in AA research and treatment. As reported earlier this summer, when 58-year-old American Olympic swimming coach Michael Lohberg was diagnosed with AA just weeks before the Beijing Games, he immediately flew to Bethesda to consult with Dr. Young and begin ATG-based therapy. At last report, Coach Lohberg had experienced an encouraging response to this treatment and was able to begin watching swimmers in the pool again. Yesterday, ASH meeting attendees had a much shorter trek to benefit from Dr. Young's expertise.
Dr. Steensma indicated no relevant conflicts of interest.

Cannabis the Beer (Red Power)
May 28th, 2009 by Aaron Goldfarb | Filed under Brewer: Eurobrau, Country: Germany, Grade: D-, Style: Spiced Beer, Video Reviews.8% bottled
OK sportsfans, here's my THIRD in the unrelentless video series in which I review some of the, purportedly, worst beers on Allah's green earth in the hopes that I may…I don't know: throw up, gag, ruin my weekend, die? Make you laugh?
Previously, I drank Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer and Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chili Beer.
The Taste:
Alright, so the beer was truly terrible but it didn't make me…throw up, gag, die, or probably even make you laugh. Mea culpa. However, match this list to the same list at the top of this review and you will notice one item lacking.
"Ruined my weekend."
Ruined my extended holiday weekend.
Oh, if only my camera crew had followed me for the next ten hours after I drank Cannabis the Beer, perhaps then I would know what happened, the progression of events that happened which led to a ruined weekend. I would know how the liquid THC seeped into my brain and how next thing I know I'm playing darts in a bar at 2 AM, and then the next thing I know I come out of a drunken fugue to find myself in some sort of a supply closet at some pseudo-club in Jersey City, surrounded by cleaning products and mops, laying on a dingy sleeping bag atop a concrete floor, hooking up with the third and fourth ugliest women I've ever hooked up with in my life. How I got to this point, how I came to be there at 8:50 AM, I do not know. But I can only blame the Cannabis for causing me to time-travel. Perhaps, in retrospect, in light of these post-video-review facts, I should give the beer an F. But I won't, because at least Ms. Fourth Ugliest gave me a car ride back to Manhattan.
I hate myself.
(Though, as always, I'm still looking for more terrible beers to video review. Hit me up at theviceblog [at] gmail.com)
