"Bad Girls" Recaps: Episode 2.12 "Facing Up"
The green-eyed monster: Nikki is the jealous type.
The gentleman: Dominic misreads the signals but knows how to be a friend.
The growler: Helen snaps and snarls when provoked.
The pouting shed — Nikki is scowling at something gardeny. She suddenly glances out the open door of the potting shed. Why does she glance? Actually, she doesn't exactly glance so much as deliberately turn to answer the call of … what, exactly? Can she really hear Helen's footfalls from there, or is something else making her look? Does Helen's beauty displace the space-time continuum to such a degree that it causes lovelorn lesbians to turn their heads and gaze? Yeah, I think I know the answer to that one.
Having seen Helen walking toward her, Nikki just turns away. This is definitely the pouting shed. Helen — nice suit! — is not a bit prepared for the arctic reception she gets when she says brightly, "Hi, Nikki." Nikki breezes past her with the sort of blank "hi" I give my creepy neighbor who takes strange trips in and out of the building at 4-ish every morning.
Like a perky puppy who has no memory of the piddle on the floor and thus fully believes that a good scratch and cuddle is in its immediate future, Helen follows Nikki.
Helen: I spoke to your solicitor last night. She reckons we'll get the go-ahead this week.
Nikki: Great.
Helen: I thought you'd be pleased.
Nikki: Yeah, well, my appeal's not exactly big on my mind at the minute. Not since I found out about your date with Dominic.
Helen: What're you talkin' about?!
Nikki: You went out for a curry with him, didn't you?
Helen: So?
Nikki: So why didn't you tell me about it, if that's all it was?
Helen: Probably to avoid a reaction like this.
Nikki: Oh, great. Just rams it home to me, doesn't it? What a huge part of your life I am.
This scene gives me a deeper understanding of the phrase "taken aback." After Nikki goes all Lesbian Paranoia 101 and hisses the "date with Dominic" line, Helen actually moves her neck and head back. Clearly she is buffeted by the harsh winds that are Nikki's utter lack of logic. (And yes, I did almost expect Helen to tack "Willis" on the end of the line after that.)
Nikki tries to stomp off, but Helen keeps following, this time more like a pit bull than a trusting puppy.
Helen: I went out to talk about work. If you really must know.
Nikki: Did you?
Helen: Not that I have to explain what I do to you.
Nikki: Fine.
Helen: Do you know what? Sod you, Nikki.
The way Helen says "werk" and "dooo to yooo" is adorable. But can you imagine how difficult it would be to have a proper fight in a prison yard? All those cons and screws around keeping you from yelling the way you want to. Still, Helen did manage to say, "Sod you," and not very quietly. A side note: I was sort of concerned the first time I realized that "sod you" essentially means "sodomize you," but I'm over it. Now I'm more concerned about Helen's scary mad face.
Helen — who is not incarcerated and thus can actually make a dramatic exit — clomps away. Nikki seems to immediately regret her brattiness, but not enough to call after her beloved. But that could be the prison thing again. It's such an instinct-queller.

The first step when shopping for a home gym is determining the functionality you need from the equipment. Some home gyms include multiple exercises, and others focus on one specific lift. This filter will help you narrow the results to the type of home gym you're looking for.
|Home Gym Type
|Power Racks
Fitness products are made with either the commercial user in mind or the home user in mind. Commercial products are typically higher quality construction that can handle multiple users every day (for schools, gyms, or clubs). Home fitness products have the home user in mind (space saving, affordable cost, and multifunctional).
|Intended Use
|Home Fitness
The final step in selecting your home gym is determining your resistance type. In weight training, there are a few ways weight can be added or reduced to a machine. By selecting a resistance type, you can easily find the type of weight resistance you'd like to train with.
|Resistance Type
|Weight Plate
Once you have selected the type and functionality of your home gym, the next step is to determine what muscle group you are looking to train. By selecting a muscle group, this will insure the machines listed are specialized for the muscle group of your interest.

Chancellor High students out rest of the week
Chancellor High School students will be out the rest of the week while the school division addresses concerns with the gymnasium roof, schools spokeswoman Sara Branner just said.
She said the division had no alternative location to send students so they will continue missing school even if students elsewhere in the county resume classes later this week.

Twin car bombs crowded outdoor markets in central Baghdad. The explosives were packed with nails and shrapnel to inflict maximum damage making it the deadliest bombing so far this year.
The attack follows a bloody weekend for the U.S. military. A senior military official says enemy fire may have downed a blackhawk killing 12 U.S. soldiers northeast of Baghdad.
In Karbala armed militants dressed as members of the U.S. military killed five U.S soldiers. These attacks come after the military announced that 32 hundred additional soldiers would be operational in a week and a half and as the President prepares for his State of the Union Address.
"George W. Bush is President and is not somebody that's going to cease to be bold because right now people are concerned about the progress of the war" said White House Press Secretary Tony Snow.
But his House minority leader John Boehner, who supports the President's plan to increase troops, demands that he report to Congress every 30 days in writing on progress in the war.
A key Senate Republican, John Warner, voiced his opposition to the President. "We say to Mr. President go back and look at all the options" said Warner.
And on the eve of the President's speech, al-quaida's second in command, Ayman Al Zawahiri, ridiculed Mr. Bush's plan for a troop increase. He warned that the current policy would not lead to peace.
The White House says that the President is polishing up his speech but that Iraq would not be the main focus and that he would be focusing on domestic issues.

Can You Call Yourself a Christian and Not Be Religious?
page 1 of 21
Can we be good enough?
by Rob Kerby, Senior Editor
Since the early days of Christianity, followers of Jesus have struggled to find a balance between working to obey God in order to receive their salvation or relaxing and accepting God's gift of His grace. That dilemma seems to have divided early church leaders Paul and James. It was a major difference between the Vatican and Martin Luther – and resulted in the great split between Catholics and Protestants.

Female Diksha Gurus – "Yes. But, Not So Many." Sp
My suggestion: Establish programs to teach new converts what guru actually means, train them in critical thinking skills so they're not swayed by emotion and peer pressure, and emphasize that the guru-disciple relationship is a very personal one, not a cult of personality and charisma. It's not an issue of male of female guru, it's a matter of who inspires you, and the relationship you have with them. The person who may actually get you back to Godhead might not be the "big gun" (with a thousand disciples) sitting on the vyasasana who you see only once a year, but the humble soul in the kitchen who has patiently answered all your questions and soothed all your doubts every day since you came off the street as Bhakta or Bhaktin Nobody, looking for shelter.

Live From Sri Mayapur Candrodaya Mandir! HG Urmila Mataji
There's been a mistake here. I had initially sent some comments, then thought I should edit them down to fit in a single post. Before it was published, I asked the editor to NOT publish the three-part long post and asked him to send it back to me, which he did (I don't actually know who I was communicating with). Somehow there was a misunderstanding and EVERYTHING I wrote got published. I still stand behind my words, but the longer post wasn't intended for public comsumption. If there was any offense on my part, please accept my apologies and obeisances.

Krishna-kirti prabhu's response leaves me astonished. He certainly did a neat job of pegging me, my philosophy, and my character. Too bad it was all wrong. Never mind, since I have no hope of my words not being twisted, I'm withdrawing from this discussion. But first I'm going to set the record straight regarding my views on varnasrama-dharma. I will not post further here on this topic.
I most certainly did NOT express "extreme doubt" about the efficacy of varnasrama-dharma. I posed a rhetorical question, that's all. Putting words in my mouth and doubts in my head that have no purchase there is more than a bit rhetorically dishonest. Nor did he address the valid questions I asked. Since I can't trust him to not twist what I say or draw erroneous conclusions, I will withdraw from further comment here on this topic. I just wanted to set the record straight about me.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have no argument with traditionalism and sex-segregation in general, or more specifically, daivi-varnasrama-dharma. In fact, I have recently established a non-profit expressly for the purpose of promoting simple living and high thinking, in a way that might actually bring about real change. It's still in the development stages but will go public soon.
However, my views radically depart from Krishna-kirti prabhu's in the matter of priority. I don't think that attempting to enforce rigid sex roles and segregation takes priority over establishing self-sufficient communities based on economic inter-dependence between devotees, cows, and the land. Sex is secondary to food. ISKCON has not yet solved the food problem.
When we finally excise ourselves from our profound dependency on the mainstream culture for even our most basic sustenance, when our bodies, which are made of earth, live more closely in sync with the natural cycles, disciplines, and traditions related to an agrarian culture, when we live in closer relation to land and cows, then other aspects of Vedic culture will naturally fall into place. When the body is rightly situated, the mind will be peaceful, and thus we can more easily pursue transcendence. But VAD cannot be separated from bhakti, otherwise it's simply organized sense gratification, as the Amish experience has shown. Focusing on rigid sex roles in preference to other aspects of varnasrama-dharma is like putting the cart before the ox. Obviously, you won't get anywhere that way.
» Posted By tulasi-priya On Jun 2, 2011 @ 6:25 pm
I'm not going to comment any further on this topic here, and have no wish to read comments by Krishna-kirti prabhu, et al. This is not because I'm closed-minded to their views. I happen to agree with most of what the traditionalists say. No, I don't wish to hear from Krishna-kirti because I have been reading his writings for years, and have concluded that his agenda and his concerns are way too narrow to be meaningful or practical.
As for the others, they strike me as disagreeable. They may be pure devotees for all I know, but they're not able to persuade me of the rightness of their cause, a cause I actually happen to believe in, because of their vindictive attitudes toward another devotee. Urmila mataji posted about education, a vitally important matter to our society. Those who highjacked this thread for their own agendas really should have been deleted, since it was way off-topic. It's amusing that Krishna-kirti prabhu misread me so badly, but that was to be expected when we seek acquiescence, not consensus
I was a fool to have joined in this discussion, but I did it because I like Urmila mataji, even while not necessarily agreeing with her on every point. She is doing valuable service and I appreciate her efforts. I simply wanted to express my views here for anyone who is interested, which I know KK is not. It's too bad that he and the others who have posted here are not able to apply their intelligence to something more than just the issue of sex roles in ISKCON, but I won't permit myself to get entangled in their obsession just to prove something.

To have completely submissive and compliant women in the context of a culture divorced from nature, with its high technology, consumerism, and general godlessness, is not doing men any favors. Men, even devotee men, are still affected adversely by that culture, and partake of its sexual attitudes. An artificially-imposed submission of women will only add fuel to their fire. It will only make men lustier, and make women more willing to take advantage of that lust in order to manipulate men to satisfy their material desires. And by "women" I mean wives. Even a wife can act like a prostitute. I wouldn't go so far as to accuse any so-called traditionalist devotee man of promoting sex-segregation, extreme chastity, etc., intentionally for that purpose, but I've heard enough stories to know that it can be a by-product.
If we attempt these artificial impositions out of context, if we treasure this sort of material arrangement in hearts not sufficiently purified by sadhana-bhakti, the result is sure to be a miserable failure, because the potential for abuse will be so great. If pursued by individuals, I see no problem, but to attempt to establish it as a policy in what is still essentially a neophyte society is premature, dangerous, and irresponsible. Furthermore, it is no other man's business how I relate to my husband or other men, provided I don't cause trouble for him. And if it is he can address me personally. I am so repulsed by the notion of men not my husband or guru telling women how they should behave. It's a kind of subtle sex, in my view, and they should stop it, or risk being seen as (subtle) sexual predators.
We have to focus first and foremost on the foundation of a varnasrama society: devotional service. We have to become purified enough to ascertain the next step. I believe that the next step concerns food and livelihood, not sex.

In an agrarian, low-tech society, roles and functions harmonize with the natural world, not fight against it. In a natural, God-designed economy, necessity dictates what people do, not self-styled authorities with nothing more than bombast and intellectual trickery to achieve their doubtful ends.
When I look back on some of my dealings with men who (unknown to me at the time) avidly support their notion of traditionalism, what stands out is the undercurrent of sexual predation I felt coming from them. I would be repelled by their attitudes, only to be shocked months and years later when I found out that they were gung-ho for chastity in women. It has only led me to believe that the real reason for this single-minded pursuit of a sexual idea in the absence of so many other social needs is, simply, ideal sex.
I've long held the view that feminism has royally screwed (pun intended) the sex lives of modern Western civilization, particularly for men. The less submissive that woman have grown with the passage of time, the more impotent and uninterested men have become, hence the rise of pedophilia, extreme porn, and human trafficking. But the change in sexual mores does not exist in isolation, but grows from an increasingly industrialized mode of life, starting with the Industrial Revolution and on down the line to the Internet. For sex to be interesting, for a large majority of men, a sense of dominance is required. Short of violent rape (the kind performed by "inexpert" men), there is no meaningful outlet for men's sexual needs, even if they are engaged in the act, because women are not as submissive as they once were.
The whole present society colludes in this dilution and perversion of sexual nature via advertising, high technology, etc. It's my considered opinion that those whose interest is almost solely concentrated on this one aspect of human existence are the victims of feminism, people whose sexual natures are gasping for breath, but can find no outlet that doesn't violated their principles. But to artificially attempt to "put women in their place" in a way that clashes with the day-to-day reality we all know, without the support of a culture that is more holistic and natural, starting with how we feed ourselves and conduct our livelihood, is to exacerbate the problem.

Krishna-kirti prabhu wrote: "This is reflected in Mataji Tulasi-Priya's expression of extreme doubt about the necessity of varnashram,'If our characters aren't reformed by sadhana bhakti, why should anything else work?'"
Prabhu: you are dead wrong. I have no doubts whatsoever about varnasrama, and your attempt to put words in my mouth and thoughts in my head that have no purchase there is intellectually dishonest.
I am a sold-out believer in varnasrama-dharma, but where we differ radically is how it should be implemented. Before we become sexually mature, before we self-identify with either gender, before sex organs even manifest externally in the body of a fetus, all living entities are engaged in the process of seeking nourishment, food.
Over and over again, whenever Prabhupada spoke of varnasrama, he reiterated the need for devotees to grow their own food, utilizing the cow and bull in the process. Has it ever occurred to you, or any of the blindered proponents of sex segregation (which I am almost totally in favor of*) who comment here, that many of the issues revolving around the relation between men and women would fall into place naturally if we lived in a agrarian, low-technology society, a society in which the gender roles and sexual relationships develop naturally and chastely in harmony with the day-to-day realities of survival and cultural development.
All these so-called traditionalists venting here are abstracting, beyond all recognition, something that is completely natural, but can only fully manifest when we live in a natural environment.
In short, you're putting the cart before the ox. Instead of focusing exclusively and narrowly on sex, better to address the most basic issue that affects humans in general and devotees in particular, before the problem of sex rears its multiple heads: livelihood and food self-sufficiency. When we get that straightened out, everything else will take care of itself.
Even monks have to eat. Focusing on sex roles in the absence of community, livelihood, and food self-sufficiency is, in my admittedly non-humble view, a perversion. Is it really necessary to dwell on sex to the exclusion of everything else? Is it necessary to see everything in sexual terms? Reminds me of a saying, "Get your mind out of the gutter." Yes, sex is a big problem, but it's secondary to existence; you can survive without sex, but you can't survive without food.

As far as giving preference to more learned man over a woman speaker—well, haven't they been getting that for decades already? Is it possible that maybe, just once in her long service history in ISKCON, before she leaves the planet and we lose her association, Urmila mataji could be allowed to purify herself, serve her guru, and benefit the assembled devotees, men and women, by speaking her unique realizations in Mayapur-dhama? Are we so puffed up and in the bodily consciousness that there is nothing we can learn from another, if that other is a woman? Do we really believe that men are the only ones with anything of substance to say?And it seems that to perceive Vaisnavis as women first in all situations constitutes an aparadha, as delineated NOI, text six.
Certainly it would be proper (if perhaps a bit Phariseean) if, prior to the class, the assembled male devotees were asked if they object to Urmila mataji giving the class. I would be keen to see who steps forward to assert his male privilege. I doubt that any man present, even the most traditional, would do so. But if he does, what would that say about him?
There may be agitation if we gaze upon a member of the opposite sex sitting on the vyasasana, but nobody gets pregnant on the vyasasana during a Bhagavatam class. (Though I suppose nothing is impossible for the determinedly lusty.) For illicit sex to take place, there has to be contact away from the vyasasana after the class, planning a rendezvous, lying, sneaking, etc. Nobody needs to give a class for that to happen, but if devotees are not following the process, it will happen somehow, no matter how segregated we keep ourselves. If the mere sight of the opposite sex will result in taking reproductive action, then we need to cease all preaching and classes right now, since the risks of the current system are insurmountable.
One other thing: lust and illicit sex don't stop, or even reduce, just because the sexes are segregated. Visit any prison or single-sex school for proof. Nor do so-called traditional values guarantee sexual purity. The Amish are a case in point: wildness among the youth during their Rumspringa, and incest in Amish families. If our characters aren't reformed by sadhana bhakti, why should anything else work?

No man can run a family the way a commander runs an army
Hare Krishna. If a man thinks he's the controller of his wife out of a desire for his own sense gratification, controlling her as he would a personal possession, in order to prop up his ego and to enjoy either the subtle or gross sense gratification thereby, they are both in trouble. He then in fact becomes the servant of his own sense gratification, and by extension, of his wife. An intelligent but materialistic woman, knowing her husband's weaknesses, can use both scenarios to her advantage by manipulating the husband's material desires to achieve her own. The marriage may be peaceful and happy, but they both go to hell.
But as Prabhupada said, devotee women "are not ordinary women," so it would behoove their men to not think so much in terms of controlling, and more in protecting and serving. There is no fault in becoming the servant of one's wife, if the husband sees her as the Lord's property, not his own. Whatever "controlling" is done is out of concern for her as a servant of the Lord and respect for her as His property, not his own.
» Posted By tulasi-priya On Nov 5, 2010 @ 3:26 pm
Thank you for this article. I find your argument very balanced, and in line with both the spirit and the letter of Srila Prabhupada's instruction.
After sixteen years of marriage, I am only lately beginning to understand the meaning of submission to one's husband. We women might want to get over our preconceptions and stereotypes, our bad attitudes and grudges against men as a class, which we often take out on our husbands. Instead, we can wise up and learn how to handle them properly. We are meant to learn this art and science from watching our mothers interact with our fathers. Unfortunately, if we have grown up in broken homes, or if our mothers weren't trained in the skills of husband-handling themselves, we are left to figure things out on our own, which can take a long time, if we don't drop out of the School of Matrimonial Hard Knocks before then.
Being submissive does not mean being an abused doormat. It means using your intelligence to figure out how to serve someone whose conditioning is off wildly at odds with one's own. I do think that some women too easily divorce their husbands. I don't blame them, because their current distress renders them unable to take a long view. When we're suffering, as they say on TV, we want FAST relief. Divorce can be a painkiller for a husband who's a headache (although many times the cure is worse than the disease). But if we would only "tough it out" a little longer, we might find that the man we can't stand grows into a devoted servant and ally.
This is not to suggest that anyone submit to ongoing physical or psychological abuse. But with the passage of years, the things we once thought were intolerable or unforgivable about one's husband, when seen through the eyes of compassion, turn out to be the merely human flaws and failings of another human being, just as we become more aware of, and compassionate toward, our own shortcomings. Submission is what allows us to put a lid on the false ego long enough to get to that place. It's a dance of humility, and humility is what we must all cultivate if we are to chant the holy name in pure love and submission, thereby conquering the supreme husband, Sri Krishna.

Thank you, Dhanesvara and Tamal Krishna prabhus, for your kind words, and to Patita Pavan prabhu for your friendly warning. Hare Krishna.
» Posted By tulasi-priya On Oct 27, 2010 @ 9:56 am
Hare Krishna. This will be the last comment I make on the subject of "damn it." As Patita Pavana prabhu correctly surmised, the intention of my use of "damn it" was indeed that of the definition #8, emphasis, which I believe I also mentioned in my comment to Jaya Vijaya prabhu. But even if I were cursing someone or something, what is being "damned" here, anyway? Certainly not the holy month of Kartika! Even a casual reading would relieve anyone with a half-decent reading level of that anxiety. What I was cursing was the lazy, stubborn mind, which we are exhorted to beat with shoes and brooms for its lack of willingness to surrender. If one were beating a stubborn mule, one might let fly with a "damn it," and a few other choice words as well.
A word may have many meanings, but usually not all of them used simultaneously in a single instance. To attribute all the possible meanings to the word as the writer's intent is not only odd, it's unfair to the writer, and to the reader as well. To focus on one word at the expense of the larger theme is to cheat oneself of what was intended for the reader to receive. If a reader can't—or won't—understand what's being said in the article as a whole, it's better to chalk it up to a difference in literary taste and read only those writers who appeal to us. Hare Krishna.

Dear Jaya Vijaya prabhu,
Namah, namah. Sri Sri Guru-Gauranga jayatah!
Thank you for your kind words. I understand completely what you mean about the phrase "damn it" being a no-no. Frankly, I shocked myself a little when it came to me. But as I considered the propriety of using such words, I reminded myself that the purpose of my writing vrata is to get the words out, and not to be mental about what others will think. It was a way to make an emphatic statement. If I could have thought of another way to put it that expressed the same idea, I would have done so.
sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah
para-dharmat sv-anushthitat
sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah
para-dharmo bhayavahah
It is far better to discharge one's prescribed duties, even though faultily, than another's duties perfectly. Destruction in the course of performing one's own duty is better than engaging in another's duties, for to follow another's path is dangerous.
(Bhagavad-gita As It Is, 3.35)
I am perfectly prepared to accept criticism for the choices I make in my writing, but I can't allow the fear of what others will think to dictate my choice of words. If I succumb to that fear, as I have so often in the past, I will never do anything. But I hope that whoever is offended will understand and forgive me. Hare Krishna.

Why Cow Protection does not work in Iskcon
Krishna Caitanya prabhu, my remark on your comment was only meant to point out what most people think of when they think of cow protection, not to pass judgment on your perspective or activities. More power to you!
All I meant was that those of us who are not directly engaged in any kind of cow protection forget too easily the other half of the equation, namely, bulls and what they're for. We all want ahimsa milk, but how many of us are willing to give up our cars for a slow ride on an ox-cart? That's the deciding factor as to whether cow protection will manifest in society, I think.
I agree that it's more important to do something than to merely talk about it, or to at least support those who are doing something. I try to live my life in that way, and am working towards increasing my support and participation. Still, if we attempt cow protection without understanding why it has failed before, we may make the same mistakes, suffer the same burnout, and come to the same conclusion, namely, that it "can't be done in Kali-yuga," or whatever we tell ourselves to take the sting out of our failure.
» Posted By tulasi-priya On Oct 23, 2010 @ 4:03 pm
I think you make very good points, prabhu. Cow protection is not something that can go on in isolation from the rest of our lives, but if we don't develop an economy based on the resources and functions of cows and bulls, there's no real impetus for cow protection.
The problem, I feel, is one of consciousness, of our desires and needs at their most basic. We must NEED cows for our very survival, and right now what we (think) we need are cars and the petroleum to run them. In response to Krishna Caitanya prabhu's comments, Srila Prabhupada emphasized that cow protection without protection of bulls is not really cow protection at all. To engage the bull means to use him for transportation, heavy moving, and food cultivation.
Cow protection, ultimately, is not the goal. The goal is devotional service. But the ideal conditions in this material world to achieve that are health and a natural, decent standard of living. A cow-and-land centered economy is the means by which we achieve those conditions. Cow protection is the safeguard against cow exploitation, which describes the current spiritual, social, and economic wreck of contemporary society. Devotees are as invested in the status quo as much as anyone.
And if the goal of our movement is to bring others to the platform of devotional service, it would seem to imply that we advocate this way of life to society at large, to avail them of the means by which we achieve devotional service in the most congenial way. In other words, to slowly dismantle the machine of Western industrialism.
The reason it isn't happening in ISKCON is that we think that how we obtain our livelihoods is something almost entirely separate and unrelated to our Krishna consciousness when, I would argue, that it determines to a great extent how successful we are at it, both individually, and collectively as a society. We pay lip service to the idea of go-raksa, but we are terrified at the implications of actually living it. Devotees are still reeling from the aftershocks of the austerities of ISKCON's early days, and its effects on the children. Not many are eager to impose that on subsequent generations, opting instead for a more "normal" life within the mainstream of society.
Cow protection, in the fullest sense of the word, is utterly practical. It just requires a radical change in what we think is a practical lifestyle. When we're truly willing to make that change, the means by which can achieve it will become evident.

I'm so grateful to Hari Sauri prabhu for publishing his Diaries, not only for their value in describing the activities of Srila Prabhupada, but for demonstrating the true purport of his vani, as it was practically applied in the lives of many different devotees (and thus providing a model for those of us who never had Prabhupada's association) and within a variety of contexts. I consider them second only to Prabhupada's books as a guide for living as a Vaisnava.
In fact, Hari Sauri prabhu's Diaries (as well as other diaries and memoirs by devotees who had his association) constitute a sort of contemporary Vedic equivalent of the Aggadah texts woven throughout the Jewish Talmud, with all the historical and cultural import that implies. Prof. Burke Rochford recognized this important feature of the Diaries in his Foreword to the first volume.
Even more important, they allow the reader a vivid (if vicarious) experience of being in Srila Prabhupada's association, one they might never have had even when Prabhupada was physically present. Most readers identify with the narrator or main character of a memoir or novel, and even though Hauri Sauri prabhu minimizes his role in the "story" (sometimes, I feel, too much), we can experience some of the joys and difficulties of being in his fortunate shoes. I've had the experience of being mistaken for a Prabhupada disciple (by other Prabhupada disciples) just by off-handedly repeating stories I'd read in the Diaries, that's how potently they transmit both Prabhupada's presence and the state of mind that it induces.
I read these Diaries for pure pleasure and spiritual edification. If I keep reading (and absorbing) the truths they express so compellingly, I might someday be able to pass on a fraction of their ability to make Prabhupada present in the lives of others.

Amara prabhu writes
What needs to be taught–particularly by social leaders and religious groups–are the higher qualities of love, self-sacrifice, acceptance, fairness, spiritual vision, kindness and so on. Without the strong propagation of these higher principles in human society there will always be discord, even among those who are otherwise apparently religious.
Society and society's leaders have been trying to teach those values for thousands of years, to no avail. The material world is, and will remain, a toilet. Such re-education programs, minus the inculcation of the theory and practice of bhakti-seva, are like bandaids on a case of advanced leprosy. But those who advocate and promote such programs become prominent in the public eye and are worshiped by those for whom they advocate. Nice work if you can get it.

Puri priests up in arms against ISKCON
ISKCON has been celebrating Ratha Yatra on its own schedule and wherever we desire (or rather, whenever and wherever Lord Jagannatha desires) since 1967. Why is there such an uproar at this late date? Is there some kind of politics involved in this? Does the Jagannatha Sena object to Ratha Yatras held at non-tradtional times in all countries, or only in India, fearful that revenues will be lost if pilgrims can go to Ratha-Yatra in other states besides Orissa? I don't understand exactly what the objections are, given our long history of staging these parades. Could somebody clue me in?

Out of the Woman Comes the Man, Spends the Rest of His Life Getting Back When he Can
Is there a reason no one has addressed my points about women being the guardians of their own virtue? Is it because it is too touchy a subject? I included a quote (see below) from Manu (of all people). It says definitively that no matter how well women are protected, if they don't guard themselves, they are not well-protected for them. Somehow it never made it into my previous post. Is this a taboo subject? Generally, the women in these forums (that I am acquainted with) have exemplary behavior, so it's a moot point. The ones who should be reading these discussions (but aren't) are off getting themselves into trouble.
As for my reference to the Taliban: in case anyone thinks I was making innuendos, I was not. All I meant was that it is better to get your act together before someone forces you to do so. I know of no Taliban-like factions in ISKCON, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.
Here's the quote from Manu-samhita. Enjoy.
Manu, 9.12: Women, confined in the house under trustworthy and obedient servants, are not (well) guarded; but those who of their own accord keep guard over themselves, are well guarded.

Your words are wise. From the ladies side, I think we ought not to wait until all the men are completely sense-controlled. We can foster such an environment, which does not necessitate wearing a burqua or traveling by covered palanquin, but by inculcating the virtues of modesty and chastity in ourselves and our daughters. We women have more power and control than we give ourselves credit for; that's why there's so much fuss about what we are to do and be.
Compared to cultures like radical Islam and even fundamentalist Christanity, Vedic culture in the modern world is very liberal. We should take advantage of that liberality by exemplary behavior, and not wait for the rise of a Taliban-like faction within ISKCON to make overly-restrictive rules for us.
If we are sense-controlled ourselves, depend first on Krishna for protection, we will not, in a desperate bid for protection, attract men who seek to exploit us, but men who actually represent the Lord we depend on, not just as husbands, but as leaders and members of our society. They're out there, they just might not like what they see right now.
Manu, 9.12

Thank you for posting that, Maharaja. It builds so beautifully and Srila Prabhupada's achievements impress the reader as even more wonderful than Sri Krishna's. Like the Lord, he brought so many souls "back from the dead."
It is such a tonic to be reminded that if we are trying to serve Krishna sincerely, by His will we can do what is apparently impossible. Thanks for the spiritual pick-me-up.
Is it recorded what Srila Prabhupada's response was?

Hare Krishna in popular culture
I'd like to submit a Hare Krishna cultural reference, one that doesn't derive from our "exotic" dress or "weird" ways in the eyes of mainstream culture, but from a very real contribution that many important people appreciate. I'm talking about Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' commencement address at Stanford University:
I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. Bg 3.21
I think the whole speech should be required reading for ISKCON youth; maybe some of them will avoid the slaughterhouse and actually prosper through their creativity, by the mercy of the Lord.

I understand Srila Prabhupada to mean that you can accept some hospitality or charity from a friend, but that you should not take advantage and move in with them. In other words, don't wear out your welcom. Also, if you make yourself dependent on someone by living under his roof, you become obliged to him, at the risk of compromising your values.
"Bhisma and Drona were obliged to take the side of Duryodhana because of his financial assistance, although they should not have accepted such a position simply on financial considerations. Under the circumstances, they have lost the respectability of teachers"
In the Srimad-Bhagavatam, 1.13.23 "Dhrtarastra Quits Home," this issue is also discussed.
» Posted By tulasi-priya On Sep 13, 2006 @ 12:12 am
The term "Love Feast" was first suggested, to the best of my knowledge, by Kirtanananda Swami, and Srila Prabhupada accepted his suggestion. He likely picked it up from the southern Baptists, where it is still in usage in their churches today. It has nothing to do with material love, as far as they are concerned.
Perhaps we should drop that tag, not so that the innocent public won't think we're hippies, but so that they won't think we're (horrors!) Baptist Christians.
Since the late Sixties (more than 3 decades) all of our temples have regularly advertised the "Sunday Love Feast", mostly targeting hippies, young people, college students, etc. Our true motive really isn't about material love at all, but to teach the Science of Self-Realization. "Love Feast" is really an outdated and misleading term anyway, borrowed from the Flower Children of the Sixties, so why not come up with something new, and more current, so as not to create confusion about our purpose and intentions?

I'm not going to argue either side of the issue in this comment. Rather, I'd like to ask a question. Trivikrama Swami is quoting Srila Prabhupada. He's not stating his own opinion, even to concur with the verse and purport he quoted, although we can certainly understand where he stands on the issue.
My question is why label Maharaja's thinking "quaint," or infer that that he is judging anyone? He's just repeating the words of his spiritual master. I've noticed several times in these forums that, when faced with reasonable (but unpalatable) facts or arguments, those who disagree with the statements resort to nit-picking, aurgumentum ad hominem, or logical fallacies, such as emotional appeals to guilt and fear. And don't get me started on the sloppy grammar, purple prose, and spelling errors that make reading such arguments a strain on the eyes and brain.
I'd really love to see the MIHE and other educational departments in ISKCON start offering courses in logical reasoning and debating skills. Brahmanas are meant to be more than just parrots; they should be able to convince and persuade people of the truth of the acarya's instructions logically, at least as far as logic can take you in understanding the absolute truth. I love a battle of wits, but it's no fun (what to speak of intellectually useless) when the combatants are not properly armed.

108 Mistakes I Have Made or I Have Seen Made by Other Leaders
«« Back To Stats Page
Is this just a bit of ISKCON lore, or did Srila Prabhupada say, "No lazies and no crazies (in the temple)"? One might add, "no convicted felons" to the mix.
While it's not necessary that a person with a police record be prohibited from living in the temple, wouldn't it be prudent to investigate so that management could make an intelligent decision? You might allow a bhakta who was arrested for participating in a civil disobedience action to spend the night, but if he was arrested or convicted of rape, child molestation, or assault, wouldn't management, what to speak of the temple residents, want to know about it before the guy was allowed to move in?
I've seen and heard of enough episodes of violence, criminal behavior, and severe mental illness in temples to be in favor background checks to see if someone is law-abiding and/or sane. The information obtained should be sensitively dealt with, not turned into prajalpa-fodder. It would also give the authorities a better idea of how to deal with troubled newcomers. People with serious problems don't have to live in the temple, potentially compromising its safety and integrity, to make spiritual advancement. No temple needs an extra pot-washer that badly.
Thanks for the great insights, Mahatma prabhu.

Tarzana Accutane reviews
60% of Tarzana reviewers said Accutane was worth it
"Please Be Careful - Van Nuys, CA"
Please be careful with your children having acne and this doctor prescribing accutane. he misdiagnosed and mistreated my son resulting in keliods scars all over his face, shoulders, neck and back. he is badly scarred for life and this doctor didn't even call to follow up after we had to go to emergency! be very, very careful from this guy. more
I've been on Accutance for almost 3 months and so far I hate it. I still get pimples, but not as much as I used to. I have been getting very bad rashes all over my hands, dry lips, and cry spells. I start to cry sometimes for little things. So far I don't see a difference on my face but I hope soon I will :( more
"I Love Accutane! - Santa Clarita, CA"
I LOVE ACCUTANE! I am a 21 year old female who had moderate to severe acne. I had tried tons of creams and pills that just were not working when I decided to go to a new doctor. The minute that I walk into this doctors office he goes accutane. I was like I've heard all the side effects abustlely no! He said listen I'm seeing your starting to get scars and I'm sure you've tried everything and... more
"Clear Face but It's Not Worth the..."
I must admit my acne was very minor but it was still acne and just like everyone else I wanted clear skin... and that's exactly what Accutane did. It made my face look absolutely amazing with in 2 weeks, but the side effects came even sooner. The #1 side effect is dry lips... thats an understatement. Within the first week of using Accutance I noticed my lips had already started to become dry... more
Took it when I was 28. Still had moderate acne on face, back and chest. Worked after a few weeks. Stayed on it for 6 months. Never had an outbreak since. I'd do it again. Not one side-effect. more
I tried OTC treatments, topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics, and topical retinoids. Isotretinoin is the only medication i found to be effective for my severe acne. I did not experience depression while on the tane, but I can see how the drug can exacerbate existing psychological issues. The drug kind turned me into a zombie for the duration of the treatment. I took about a 7g-10g cumulative... more

En route to the Class 3A Division I state title last season, Stephenville never quite faced the test it did Friday against Big Spring.The Yellow Jackets found themselves trailing with just over 30 seconds remaining, but engineered a 65-yard scoring drive to pull out the victory, scoring with 4 seconds left. Stephenville coach Joseph Gillespie says the win is a testament to their preparation."We always talk about having to go out there and play 48 minutes," he said. "We never prepare ourselves to play half a ballgame or three-quarters of a game. We prepare to play for 48 minutes, and sometimes you have to. "I think anytime you're down 36-34 with 34 seconds on the clock, and to come back and win it, that shows the character of your football team. We put ourselves in practice situations and we prepared ourselves mentally and physically to be in these situations. The fruits of that labor come to fruition and it's encouraging to us as coaches and as a football team."Also encouraging to Gillespie was Stephenville's performance in inclement weather two weeks ago when the Yellow Jackets beat Springtown 63-21. That could be important with wintry conditions in the forecast for Friday night, when Stephenville (11-1) meets Lubbock Cooper (11-2) at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene."Anytime you go out and do that in the conditions we did, it should give you some confidence," he said. "We really didn't know heading into that game what kind of impact the weather would have on us. "Our kids responded very well and went out and executed. I was very proud of them, and I fully anticipate the same thing happening again."Familiar foeWhen Nolan Catholic (9-4) faces Plano Prestonwood Christian (12-1) in the TAPPS Division I championship game Tuesday, the Vikings will be after their third consecutive state title. It would be the sixth straight had Prestonwood not defeated Nolan 38-35 in the 2010 championship game.It also happens that nine months ago, Prestonwood kept Nolan from winning a TAPPS basketball title by beating the Vikings 71-66 in overtime in the state championship game. A pair of Nolan football players, Landon Russell and Pierce Braden, were also on that basketball team."It's definitely in my mind," Russell said. "I'd say it's a factor; it gives us a little extra motivation, but ultimately we just want to win the game no matter who we're playing."With many of their meetings having so much on the line, a natural rivalry seems to be developing between the schools."We've had some really close games with them," Nolan coach Joe Prud'homme said. "I think the margins have always been close. I'd think it's fair to say they're rivals. "We're pretty much polar opposites. They've got all the high-flying athletes and we just have to battle and be blue-collar and be extremely disciplined in order to compete with them. But that's made for some great games, in both basketball and football."Seeing Prestonwood on the schedule brings out the best in Russell and his teammates."Every time we play them, it's a good game, and we look forward to it because we definitely know it's going to be a battle," he said."Tensions build and get even higher the more we see them in football and basketball," Braden added.Some scores to settleThis week's area playoff action features two teams looking to turn the tables on foes that bounced them from the playoffs last season, while one school will be looking to avenge a loss from earlier this year.Birdville (11-2) faces reigning state champion Denton Guyer (11-2), which eliminated the Hawks 52-42 in this round of the postseason in 2012.Denton Ryan (10-2) will be looking to avenge its 2012 area-round loss to Cedar Hill (11-2). The Longhorns beat the Raiders 48-35 last year on their way to the 5A Division II title game.Euless Trinity (11-2) squares off with DeSoto (13-0) for the second time this season, after falling to the Eagles 61-35 on Sept. 14. The Trojans also lost to DeSoto in the 2012 regular season 42-21. For a complete preview of this matchup, see Friday's edition of the Star-Telegram.

The gift of meat - where to get steaks/meat to give as gift????
- pancake Dec 20, 2006 04:55 PM
So I am stuck on what to get my family for christmas.
We are big barbecue/meat eaters and always short for time.
I was thinking something along the lines of what Dave Letterman gives his audience members - a box of meat - really good steaks/ burgers/ etc. . . .
Any recommendations on a good place in the T. Dot to get good steaks or the likes. . . . .
Thanks! and Happy Holidays
My choice for really fine steaks is Grace Meats on College St., corner Grace. Cheaper alternative is O Nosso Talho on Dundas just West of Dovercourt. For the really fancy spectacular cuts, with creative dressings and marinades, I would highly recommend the St. Lawrence Market, main floor toward the south end. (Front St. and Church)
I ordered Prime Rib Roast from Cumbraes yesterday. Beautiful, dry aged 30 days and a wallet breaker. Healthy Butcher is also excellent.
The BEST steak I've had in my life was a bison ribeye from Stoney Kepple Farms, a new vendor at the Riverdale Farmer's Market, and also available (according to the Stoney Kepple people but I haven't checked myself) at the Healthy Butcher.
The ~very~ close second best steak I've ever had in my life was a hangar steak from Barreta(that doesn't seem right; please correct me if I've got the name wrong) Organic Meats, a vendor at the Thursday Dufferin Grove Farmer's Market.
In both cases, I had the steaks at room temperature, salt and peppered liberally, and cooked them in a dry, very hot cast iron pan. The ribeyes I did for about 4 minutes per side, to rare; the hangar steak I cooked 4 minutes per side and then finished it in a 400 oven for 20 minutes, and it came out a perfect rare, edging into medium. They were both astonishingly good steaks that I'd be happy to have again and again...and again...and then some...
...if anyone gave me hangar steak or bison ribeyes, it would be the best Christmas ever...
...and you know you've come to the right place when everybody is trying to help you find good meat and no-one is saying "dude, the box of meat is supposed to be, like, a joke?" We're serious, but in a good way ;-)
Happy, round-bellied holidays, Chow'nders. Hope all your holiday meals are chowiriffic...
You need to try a Tri Tip. I get them from the St. Lawrence Market. Absolutely the best piece of beef I've ever had.
Mmmm, I've used tri tip many times (I get mine from Royal, the only place I seem to find them consistently) but never as a slab o' steak. I'll have to try that next...
...nuthin' like a little competitive steak-trying...
Oh yes, the Tri-Tip "roast", from Royal, but grilled and sliced as a steak, is one of the city's finest meat offerings!
re: Full tummy
Where is Royal??
re: Davwud
Danforth west of Woodbine, North side.
A little late, but many of the butchers at the St. Lawrence Market will vacuum pack their meat for you. We use Upper Cut as we find it is a good balance between quality and price, but higher end stuff is often at Whitehouse. I think letterman's gift meats are usually vacuum packed. It freezes very well.

half of the total population of home and community-based LTC users are elderly individuals (ages 65 and older) (see Figure 2.1). Most of the rest (two-fifths) are working-age adults (people ages 18 to 64); children under age 18 represent a very small segment of the total population of these LTC users (GAO, 1995c).
Just as the ages of the users of LTC vary greatly, so does the extent of their disabilities (IOM, 1991). Importantly, the presence of a disability does not automatically mean that a person requires outside assistance; an estimated 40.1 million Americans are living in the community with one or more disabilities because of a physical or mental health condition (Eustis et al., 1995). Some users, however, require 24-hour care that involves assistance with fundamental activities of daily living (ADLs) such as getting in and out of bed and administering complex medical procedures; others need only occasional help with such tasks as cleaning or going grocery shopping. Although all kinds of users can be found in both home and residential care settings, on the aggregate level some notable differences exist between the users in these two types of settings.

FORT WAYNE – On Tuesday, attorneys agreed on a jury in the David Bisard case, seating a 12-member panel and three alternates.
The trial is expected to officially begin today, with both sides making their opening statements in the case, which is expected to last about a month.
The Marion County case was moved to Allen County this year because of intensive media coverage. It is being handled by Allen Superior Court Judge John Surbeck and will be heard by Allen County residents as members of the jury.
Marion County, however, will pay for the cost of the trial.
The suspended Indianapolis Metro Police Department officer is charged with reckless homicide, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated causing death and criminal recklessness.
Bisard, 39, is accused of driving his squad car into the back of a pair of motorcycles stopped at a stop light in August 2010. One of the bikers, 30-year-old Eric Wells, was killed and two others were injured.
While he was out on bond, Bisard was arrested again this spring after police said he crashed a borrowed pickup truck into a guardrail in the Fishers area.
Bisard's blood-alcohol concentration at the time of that crash was 0.22 percent, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
After that crash and the subsequent misdemeanor charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, Bisard's bond was revoked and he has remained in jail.
According to Allen County Superior Court officials, the jury is made up of seven men and five women with one man and two women selected as alternates.
While the heart of the case is a traffic crash, dozens of pretrial motions and discussions have centered on in-fighting between the Marion County prosecutor's office, Indianapolis officials and the police department over the handling of evidence in the case.

metformin & low blood sugar
Hi all,
I am currently taking 2000mg metformin (2 in am & 2 at dinner) and 40 mg
gliclazide at bedtime. My A1C is 6.3 and morning is in the low 7's.
I'm trying to do Atkins but every afternoon I have low bs in the low 5's with
sweating, headache, muscle aches, heart racing . I have tried to take a little carb to help but it's ruining my day as the headache etc takes a long time to go away.
Anyone have any thoughts on how i should proceed ? I would greatly appreciate your input.:dunno:
what does that mean? is "the low 5's" meaning like 53? or are you using a different scale than the US?
must be a different scale, because blood sugars that low would give you a much much lower A1c.
yes i'm using the system here in canada so 5's would be in the 90's your scale
Try having a spoonful of peanut butter or another moderately-low carb snack immediately before bed and see if that helps you during the transition.
As your numbers improve you can experiment with ditching the snack or lowering the carb content.
It looks to me like it's doing its job, and your body just needs some time to adjust.
thanks for the suggestion and i will try it again
i guess i wont plan on doing to much till i get settled
i have my low mid afternoon. my sugar is higher in the am and seems to drop during the day even though i have lunch etc
So in your case, you'll want to increase your healthy carbs at lunch and/or add a snack mid-afternoon before the low.
Dehydration can lead to headaches. Make sure you are getting enough fluids. When we stop drinking sugary sodas we tend to cut down on our fluids. Excessive thirst is one of the symptoms for diagnosis. Once our numbers start to come down the thirst goes away, but our bodies still need fluid.
Why wait until you numbers are dropping in the afternoon to have a snack? plan a snack 1- 2 hrs after lunch to stop the drop before it starts.
My .02. When I had shaking and dizziness with the Metformin, my doctor tried to tell me the same thing - that I just wasn't used to have BG in the 90's. Uh no...BG in the 90's wasn't the problem. It was going from 140 to 90 in the space of 3 minutes. 90 wasn't causing the shaking and dizziness. The crashing from 140 to 90 was.
Crashes (rapid drops in BG) are a fairly common occurrence with Metformin. There are better options with less tendency for these crashes.
You said you're taking 2000mg (2 in am and 2 in p.m.). You do mean that you're taking 1000 in the am and 1000 in the p.m. and not 2000 twice a day, yes? Because the maximum dose for Metformin is 2000 mg total.
You might check with your doc for other options since you're using the max dose of the Metformin anyway.
Max dose for Metformin is 2550mg, or 3 850mg doses.
