Hindu Heritage Society Logo has 6 symbols representing its aims and objectives. Each symbol carries a special message for us. "Om" - represents the divine universal language. "Shri" - indicates the divine wealth and prosperity. "Kalash" - symbolises as the carrier of the Nectar for the entire creation and Hindu cultural values. "The book" - symbol represents the Vedas which means wisdom and education. "The light" - (Dipam) symbolizes knowledge against darkness and ignorance. "Swastika" - symbolizes the welcoming of auspiciousness and driving away evils. The symbol also represents the changing of the universe around the unchanging nature of God. ` Aum or Om Source : http://www.hindubooks.org/hinduism_simplified/ Om is one of the most chanted sound symbols in Hinduism. It has a profound effect on the body and mind of the one who chants and also on the surroundings. Most mantras and Vedic prayers start with Om. All auspicious actions begin with Om. It is even used as a greeting - Om, Hari Om etc. it is repeated as a mantra or meditated upon. Its form is worshipped, contemplated upon or used as an auspicious sign. Om is the universal name of the Lord. The sound emerging from the vocal chords starts from the base of the throat as 'A' with the coming together of the lips, 'U' is formed and when the lips are closed, all sound ends with 'M'. The three letters symbolize the three states (waking, dream and deep sleep) the three Lords (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva), the three Vedas (Rig, Yajur and Sama) the three worlds (Bhuh, Bhuvah and Suvah) etc. The Lord is all these and beyond. The formless, attribute-less Lord is represented by the silence between two Om chants. Om is also called pranav that means "that (symbol or sound) by which the Lord is praised". The entire essence of the Vedas is enshrined in the word Om. It is said that the Lord started creating the world after chanting Om and atha. Hence it sound is considered to create an auspicious beginning for any task that we undertake. The Om chant should have the resounding sound of a bell. It fills the mind with peace, makes it focused and replete with subtle sound. People mediate on its meaning and attain realization. Thus Om symbolizes everything - the means and the goal of life, the world and the Truth behind it, the material and the sacred, all forms and the formless. "Om" is the most sacred syllable often spoken during the practice of any Hindu rites. It is a holy character of the Sanskrit language, the language of God. The character is a composite of three different letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. The English equivalent of those are "a", "u", and "m", and represent the Trinity. The Trinity is composed of the three supreme Hindu Gods: Brahma, the creator, Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer. These three letters when pronounced properly in unison create an invigorating effect in the body. Because of its significance this sacred syllable is spoken before any chants to show God we remember him. This sign in Hinduism also represents the whole universe. Om is also known to be the sound from which this whole universe is created. It is called 'Pranavam' in sanskrit, meaning the beginning of new universe. 2001-Jun-09 1:23am firstname.lastname@example.com The word AUM is created by the God. This is having a lot of Scenitific Significance. Chanting AUM in a rythmic way can destroy the so many bad elements in the Body and in the Mind. That is the reason AUM is used in the treatment of deseases using the Pranayama Techiniques. Not only this all the Hindu Beliefs (or what ever u call) are having Scentific Signifcance along with the Spiritual Significance. 2004-Nov-29 4:19am firstname.lastname@example.com Om: Symbol of the Absolute: What You Need to Know "The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence … is OM. This syllable OM is indeed Brahman. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma." ~ Katha Upanishad I Om or Aum is of paramount importance in Hinduism. This symbol is a sacred syllable representing Brahman, the impersonal Absolute — omnipotent, omnipresent, and the source of all manifest existence. Brahman, in itself, is incomprehensible; so a symbol becomes mandatory to help us realize the Unknowable. Om, therefore, represents both the unmanifest (nirguna) and manifest (saguna) aspects of God. That is why it is called Pranava, to mean that it pervades life and runs through our prana or breath. Om in Daily Life Although Om symbolizes the most profound concepts of Hindu belief, it is in use daily. The Hindus begin their day or any work or a journey by uttering Om. The sacred symbol is often found at the head of letters, at the beginning of examination papers and so on. Many Hindus, as an expression of spiritual perfection, wear the sign of Om as a pendant. This symbol is enshrined in every Hindu temple premise or in some form or another on family shrines. It is interesting to note that a newly born child is ushered into the world with this holy sign. After birth, the child is ritually cleansed and the sacred syllable Om is written on its tongue with honey. Thus right at the time of birth the syllable Om is initiated into the life of a Hindu and ever remains with him as the symbol of piety. The Eternal Syllable According to the Mandukya Upanishad "Om is the one eternal syllable of which all that exists is but the development. The past, the present, and the future are all included in this one sound, and all that exists beyond the three forms of time is also implied in it". The Music of Om Om is not a word but rather an intonation, which, like music, transcends the barriers of age, race, culture and even species. It is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma which, when combined together, make the sound Aum or Om. It is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds. It is a mantra or prayer in itself. If repeated with the correct intonation, it can resonate throughout the body so that the sound penetrates to the centre of one's being, the atman or the soul. There is harmony, peace and bliss in this simple but deeply philosophical sound. By vibrating the sacred syllable Om, the supreme combination of letters, if one thinks of the Ultimate Personality of Godhead and quits his body, he will certainly reach the highest state of "stateless" eternity, states the Bhagavad Gita. The Vision of Om Om provides a dualistic viewpoint. On one hand, it projects the mind beyond the immediate to what is abstract and inexpressible. On the other hand, it makes the absolute more tangible and comprehensive. It encompasses all potentialities and possibilities; it is everything that was, is, or can yet be. It is omnipotent and likewise remains undefined. The Power of Om While meditating, when we chant Om, we create within ourselves a vibration that attunes sympathy with the cosmic vibration and we start thinking universally. The momentary silence between each chant becomes palpable. Mind moves between the opposites of sound and silence until, at last, it ceases the sound. In the silence, the single thought—Om—is quenched; there is no thought. This is the state of trance, where the mind and the intellect are transcended as the individual self merges with the Infinite Self in the pious moment of realization. It is a moment when the petty worldly affairs are lost in the desire for the universal. Such is the immeasurable power of Om. Research for this GuideSite by Soma Brahma Shri or Lakshmi Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakshmi Hindus worship Lakshmi the most on Diwali, the festival of lights. According to tradition people would put small candles outside their homes on Diwali and hope Lakshmi will come to bless them. The prefix Sri (also spelt as Shri, pronounced as shree) renders as 'one who takes delight in Sri' Lakshmi, meaning wealth, wealth of any kind. Primarily eight kinds of wealth are established, associated with goddess Lakshmi. They are — 1) अा िाद लक्ष्मी Ādi Lakṣmī [Wealth a priori] 2) ध न्य लक्ष्मी Dhānya Lakṣmī [Granary Wealth] 3) धैयय लक्ष्मी Dhairya Lakṣmī [Wealth of Courage] 4) गज लक्ष्मी Gaja Lakṣmī [Wealth of Animals] 5) सन्त न लक्ष्मी Santāna Lakṣmī [Wealth of Progeny] 6) विजय लक्ष्मी Vijaya Lakṣmī [Wealth of Victory] 7) विद्य लक्ष्मी [Wealth of Vidyā Lakṣmī Knowledge] 8) धन लक्ष्मी Dhana Lakṣmī [Monetary Wealth] Any thing that need be affluent gets the auspicious prefix or suffix 'Lakshmi', or 'Sri' like Rajya Lakshmi (Wealth of Empire), Shanti Sri (Wealth of Peace), etc. In modern India, common titles standing in for the English Mr. and Mrs. are Shri (also Sri or Shree) and Shrimati (also Srimati or Shreemati), as in "Sri Gupta" or "Srimati Mangeshkar". Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped by those who wish to acquire or to preserve wealth. It is believed that Lakshmi (wealth) goes only to those houses which are clean and where the people are hard working. She leaves places which are unclean or where the people are lazy. In Uttaranchal, after the worship of the goddess on Diwali night, the Shankh or Conch is not blown. This is because the shank is also from the ocean like the goddess herself, so it is given a day of rest. Laxmi is the patron goddess of Kolhapur city, Maharashtra. Introduction Goddess of wealth. Wife of Sri Maha Vishnu. In different incarnations of Vishnu she married Sri Rama as Sita, Sri Krishna as Rukmini and Sri Venkateshwara as Padmavati. Devotees believe that Lakshmi resides in a place where virtue, righteous- ness, truth and compassion prevail. Author - N.Raganatha Sharma Lakshmi Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth. She is also called 'Sri' ' Money, grain, cattle, land, gold, and silver are forms of wealth. Who does not need them? Everybody worships Lakshmidevi because one gets wealth if Lakshmi grants it. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are famous as Trimurtis ('The Trinity'). Of them, Brahma's wife is Saraswati, Vishnu's wife is Lakshmi, and Shiva's wife is Parvati. Saraswati is the goddess of education. Parvati is the goddess of might. Lakshmi, however, is the goddess of wealth. Man needs all three - education, might and wealth. Source: http://www.freeindia.org/biographies/gods/lakshmi/index.htm Shri and Mantra A mantra is an embodiment in sound of a particular Devata. It is not a mere formula. Nor is it a magic spell. It is the Devata Himself or Herself. And so, when a mantra is repeated with concentration of mind and the worshipper makes an effort to identify him with the worshipped, the power of the Devata comes to his help. Human power is thus. Supplemented by the divine power. A prayer is different from the re petition of a mantra. It is a purely human effort. Prayers may be offered in any language and in any form. But a mantra, being an embodiment of a Devata in sound, has to be repeated in that form alone in which it first revealed itself to the mind of a Rishi. It is not to be learnt from books, but from the living voice of a Guru who gives the Upadesa or initiation. And it has for its aim the gradual trans- formation of the worshipper into the like ness of the worshipped. Therefore the more worshipper advances in his/her japa the less is he himself/ she herself and more does she/he partake of the nature and wield the powers of the Devata.

Mango leaves are placed in the mouth of the pot and a coconut is placed over it. A red or white thread is tied around its neck or sometimes all around it in an intricate diamond- shaped pattern. The pot may be decorated with designs. When the pot is filled with water or rice, it is known as purnakumbha representing the inert body which when filled with the divine life force gains power to do all the wonderful things that makes life what it is. A kalash is placed with due rituals on all important occasions like the traditional house warming (griha pravesh), wedding, daily worship etc. It is placed near the entrance as a sign of welcome. It is also used in a traditional manner while receiving holy personages. Before the creation came into being, Lord Vishnu was reclining on His snake bed in the milky ocean. From His navel emerged a lotus from which appeared Lord Brahma, the Creator, who thereafter created this world. The water in the kalash symbolises the primodial water from which the entire creation emerged. It is the giver of life to all and has the potential of creating innumerable names and forms, the inert objects and the sentient beings and all that is auspicious in the world from the energy behind the universe. The leaves and coconut represent creation. The thread represents the love that "binds" all in creation. The kalash is therefore considered auspicious and worshipped. The waters from all the holy rivers, the knowledge of all the vedas and the blessings of all the deities are invoked in the kalash and its water is thereafter used for all the rituals, including the abhisheka. The consecration (kumbhaabhisheka) of a temple is done in a grand manner with elaborate rituals including the pouring of one or more kalash of holy water on the top of the temple. When the asurs and the devas churned the milky ocean, the Lord appeared bearing the pot of nectar which blessed one with everlasting life. Thus the kalash also symbolises immortality. Men of wisdom are full and complete as they identify the infinite truth (poornatvam. They brim with joy and love and represent all that is auspicious. We greet them with a purnakumbha ("full pot") acknowledging their greatness and as a sign of respectful reverential welcome, with a "full heart". The Vedas Source: http://www.siamese-dream.com/reference/vedas.html The Vedas are the earliest Hindu texts, and they were composed and performed orally for several centuries (generally believed to be from 1500 BCE to 1200 BCE). The word veda means knowledge or wisdom. There are four of them, and they are collectively referred to as Sruti, which means "that which is heard", and Samhita, which simply means "collection." The oldest is called the Rig Veda, with the other three being the Yajur Veda, the Sama Veda, and the Atharva Veda. The Rig Veda is the most important, with the others having come later and are based upon it. They are considered by Hindus to be revealed literature, having originated with the gods whose praise they sing. Important later Hindu scriptures such as the Brahmanas and the Upanishads, which are ascribed to humans, are commentaries on the original Vedas. Akhanda Deepaam Source: http://www.punditravi.com/whats_new.html#lamp In almost every Indian home a lamp is lit daily before the altar of the Lord. In some houses it is lit at dawn, in some, twice a day at dawn and dusk- and in a few it is maintained continuously (akhanda deepa). All auspicious functions and moments like daily worship, rituals and festivals and even many social occasions like inaugurations commence with the lighting of the lamp, which is often maintained right through the occasion. Light symbolizes knowledge, and darkness ignorance. The Lord is the "Knowledge Principle" (Chaitanya) who is the source, the enlivener and the illuminator of all knowledge. Hence light is worshiped as the Lord Himself. Knowledge removes ignorance just as light removes darkness. Also knowledge is a lasting inner wealth by which all outer achievements can be accomplished. Hence we light the lamp to bow down to knowledge as the greatest of all forms of wealth. Knowledge backs all our actions whether good or bad. We therefore keep a lamp lit during all auspicious occasion as a witness to our thoughts and actions. Why not light a bulb or tube light? That too would remove darkness. But the traditional oil lamp has a further spiritual significance. The oil or ghee in the lamp symbolizes our "vaasnas" or negative tendencies and the wick, the ego. When lit by spiritual knowledge, the "vaasnas" get slowly exhausted and the ego too finally perishes. The flame of a lamp always burns upwards. Similarly, we should acquire such knowledge as to take us towards higher ideals. A single lamp can light hundreds more just as a man of knowledge can give it to many more. The brilliance of the light does not diminish despite its repeated use to light many more lamps. So too knowledge does not lessen when shared with or imparted to others. On the contrary it increases in clarity and conviction on giving. It benefits both the receiver and the giver. A Saint has said Which else shall beautify a home But the flame of a lovely lamp? Which else shall adorn the mind But the light of wisdom deep? Why do we use the Diya in Pooja? One of the important form of worship is prayer to a lamp, to the flame or Jyothi, instead of a Vigraha or a picture, worshipping it as a form of the Deity of their choice [Ishta Devatha]. As we believe, God as Nirguna Brahman, comes to take the forms of various Avatharas as Saguna Brahman and also manifests Himself in the phenomenal Universe as its five elements -"Pancha Bootham." Vedas say that God exists in the five elements. Aagama Sasthra and Bhootha Suddhi Manthra say that God manifests in Sky [Space] as Sound, in Air as Sound and Sense of Touch, in Fire as Sound, Sense and Shape of things, in Water as Sound, Sense, Shape and Taste of objects, in Earth as Sound, Sense, Shape, Taste and Smell. "Thvam, Bhoomi, Aapo, Anilo, Analo Napaha" a verse from Ganapathy Adharva Sheerisha Upanishad, which means that God is in Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Sky. Hence, people worship the Lord as the various elements and receive the Divine blessings. As light or fire, the Deepa Jyothi represent one of the five elements as a manifestation of God. Many people perform prayer rituals to the lamp, "Deepa Jyothi" as an alternative to the traditional Vigraha worship of the devotional path. There is a practice of offering prayers to Sri Ganesha, Durga, Devi, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Ayyappan and many other forms of Deities in the form of Jyothi in a Deepa pooja. Most often Deepa Pooja is performed by Devotees not initiated in proper Vigraha Pooja, either alone or in groups at home or in a temple. Traditionally, women do not take up or get initiated into the pooja for Siva Linga or Sakthi Yanthra and Deepa Pooja is the most important alternative for them. Most men also have not had proper training in prayer methods or received the proper initiation of offering the necessary prayers to their Ishta Devatha according to the rules of Agama. Many of them are very religious and want to get the benefits for prayers. It is widely believed that God accepts the prayers through this Deepa Pooja very easily and very soon. There are no major restrictions or rules of the doctrine of Adhikara for this deepa pooja. The Deepa Pooja can be performed every evening. Those women who are unable to perform pooja with lamps every evening, may try to do it once a week, preferably on Friday evenings. Lighting a Lamp Source: http://www.khandro.net/nature_fire.htm In Hindu practice, according to Swami Chinmayananda: The oil or ghee [clarified butter] in the lamp symbolizes our vaasanas or negative tendencies and the wick, the ego. When lit by spiritual knowledge, the negativities get slowly exhausted and the ego too finally perishes. The flame of a lamp always burns upwards. Similarly we should acquire such knowledge as to take us towards higher ideals. While lighting the lamp, the Hindu prayer is: Deepa-jyothi para-brahma Deepa sarva tamopahaha Deepena saadhyate saram Sandhyaa deepo namo-stute I prostrate to the dawn/dusk lamp whose light is Supreme Knowledge which removes the darkness of ignorance and by which all can be achieved. In almost every Indian home a lamp is lit daily before the altar of the Lord. In some houses it is lit at dawn, in some, twice a day – at dawn and dusk – and in a few it is maintained continuously (akhanda deepa). All auspicious functions commence with the lighting of the lamp, which is often maintained right through the occasion. Light symbolizes knowledge, and darkness, ignorance. The Lord is the "Knowledge Principle" (chaitanya) who is the source, the enlivener and the illuminator of all knowledge. Hence light is worshiped as the Lord himself. Knowledge removes ignorance just as light removes darkness. Also knowledge is a lasting inner wealth by which all outer achievement can be accomplished. Hence we light the lamp to bow down to knowledge as the greatest of all forms of wealth Why not light a bulb or tube light? That too would remove darkness. But the traditional oil lamp has a further spiritual significance. The oil or ghee in the lamp symbolizes our vaasanas or negative tendencies and the wick, the ego. When lit by spiritual knowledge, the vaasanas get slowly exhausted and the ego too finally perishes. The flame of a lamp always burns upwards. Similarly we should acquire such knowledge as to take us towards higher ideals. Whilst lighting the lamp we thus pray: Swastika 'let good-prevail' Swastika is regarded as a divine sign by Hindus. The word swastika means auspicious in the Sanskrit language and hence is used to symbolize the welcoming of auspiciousness and driving away evils. The symbol also represents the changing of the universe around the unchanging nature of God. Source : http://www.hindubooks.org/hinduism_simplified/ 2000-Oct-13 7:25pm email@example.com The various ways in which the Swatika is depicted. is also revered by Hindu and ranks second only to OM is the Swastika. Today, the Swastika is know the world over not as a religious symbolism of the Hindus but as the Nazi emblem. Hitler's use of the Swastika on the flag of National- socialist Germany has besmirched the Swastika. But the Swastika continues to hold a religious significance for the Hindus. Like OM, the origins of Swastika are lost in the misty realms of the past and they can only be guessed by piecing together of the surviving clues. Unlike OM, the Swastika is not a syllable or a letter. It appears to be decorative character which could have originated in a hieroglyphic (pictorial) script. The word Swastika is normally believed to be an amalgam of the words Su and Asati. Su means 'good' and Asati meant 'to exist'. As per Sanskrit grammar the words Su and Asati when amalgamated into one word become Swasti (as in the case of Su and Aaatam becoming Swagatam meaning welcome). If this derivation of the word Swastika is true, then the literal meaning of the term Swastika would be 'let good-prevail'. There exist many types of signs which stand for the Swastika. Even the standard version has two forms the one facing the right also called the symbol of- the right hand path and the one facing the left called the symbol of the left hand path. These two Swastikas are also considered to represent the male and female. There is also a Swastika which is an amalgam of these two types. Did the Swastika originate as blueprint for a fort called Su Vastu? In the conventional type of a fort, the fall of one of the gates to the attacking army would lead to the Enemy's pouring into the fort and lead to massacre or capture of all or most of its inhabitants. But under the Swastika grids fall of one of the four gates could still keep, at least three-fourths of the fort safe. The understanding of the Swastika as a blueprint for a fort can also be etymologically corroborated. In Sanskrit, Vasa means to inhabit and Vastu means habitation. While Su means good. The word Swastika might be an amalgam of the terms 'Su' and 'Vastu' pronounced as as 'Swastu') meaning 'a good habitation'. All these forms present the Swastika to us as if it were only a symbol. But it is quite possible that Swastika was an object which played an important role in the real lives of people. Some scholars have said that in ancient times forst were builtin the shape of a grid resembling the Swastika, for defensive purposes. Under such an arrangement it was difficult for an enemy to storm into all parts of the fort simultaneously. Did the Swastika originate as blueprint for a fort called Su Vastu? In the conventional type of a fort, the fall of one of the gates to the attacking army would lead to the Enemy's pouring into the fort and lead to massacre or capture of all or most of its inhabitants. But under the Swastika grids fall of one of the four gates could still keep, at least three-fourths of the fort safe. The understanding of the Swastika as a blueprint for a fort can also be etymologically corroborated. In Sanskrit, Vasa means to inhabit and Vastu means habitation. While Su means good. The word Swastika might be an amalgam of the terms 'Su' and 'Vastu' pronounced as as 'Swastu') meaning 'a good habitation'. Incidentally in Sanskrit the term Swasta means calm or peaceful. Thus the term and concept of Swastika might as well be a derivation of the name of a defensive structure which due to its impregnable character was looked upon as a good habitation. That this form of a defensive arrangement was a fact is also corroborated by the military practice of Chakra-vyuha used during ancient times. In the Chakra-vyuha, the army was arranged in the form of a circular grid which an enemy army was supposed to break. This was one of the techniques used during the Mahabharata war in which Arjuna's son Abhimanyu was killed. That the Chakra-vyuha was an effective form of defense and it was very diffciult to break it is corroborated by the episode of Abhimanyu in the Mahabharata. Briefly, this episode is as follows: The clue that the Grid like the Swastika as a defensive arrangement was a fact is also corroborated by the military practice of Chakra-vyuha used during ancient times. In the Chakra-vyuha, the army was arranged in the form of a circular grid which an enemy army was supposed to break. This was one of the techniques used during the Mahabharata war in which Arjuna's son Abhimanyu was killed. That the Chakra-vyuha was an effective form of defense and it was very diffciult to break it is corroborated by the episode of Abhimanyu in the Mahabharata. When Abhimanyu was on the family way, Sri Krishna used to take Subhadra (Abhimanyu's mother) on excursions. To humour her, Krishna used to relate many of his adventures to the pregnant Subhadra. On one such excursion Krishna was narrating his experience with the technique of Chakra-vyuha and how step by step the various circles could be penerated. It seems that Subhadra did not find this topic interesting enough for she soon went into a slumber. But someone else was interested in Sri Krishna's narration and that was the yet to be born Abhimanyu. While Subhadra dozed off, Abhimanyu continued to carefully follow Srl Krishna's narrative of the Chakra-vyuha. But after talking for sometime and not receiving any response from Subhadra, Sri Krishna turned back and saw that Subhadra was savouring a sweet nap. Sri Krishna who had at that time come upto the seventh step of the Chakra-vyuha, gave up his narration and returned with Subhadra to the palace. The unfortunate Abimanyu could never obtain the technique of breaking all the circles in the chakra-vyuha, but whatever he had heard Sri Krishna say, he carefully preserved in his memory. He grew up to be a brave handsome young man. Many years later when during the Mahabharata war the Kavravas set up a Chakar-vyuha and challenged the Pandavas to come forward and break it, none of the Pandavas knew the technique of doing so. At that Juncture to save the honour of the Pandavas, Abhimanyu came forward and offerred his services for the task of breaking the chakra-vyuha. Despite his incomplete knowledge of the technique he entered tne grid and overcame one circle after another till he come to the seventh one for the breaking of which he had no knowledge. Brave and ambitious es he was he fought valiantly in the unequal struggle but in vain. His strength and bravery proved no match against the skillfully laid out maze on warriors fighting whom, he met his end. Similarly the Swastika could also have originated as a defensive structure which due to its vast practical utility was considered powerful and was sanctified.

"For Johnson, the real Jesus is not simply a historical figure - a dead man whose authentic words and deeds can be approached through historical research and textual analysis. Rather, the real Jesus is the resurrected Lord of Christian faith - a living savior who can be encountered in the world today. Being a Christian means learning this living Jesus by "putting on the mind of Christ" and being transformed in his image." "He demonstrates how Jesus is present in the community of the Christian church - and how the church is instrumental in helping us learn Jesus. For Johnson, the Christian traditions that the church embodies - canon, creed, worship, prayer, veneration of saints, charity toward the powerless - are not dilutions of Jesus' message, but essential components of an authentic Christian spirituality."--Jacket.

|Killer dolphins may be born of frustration
|Wednesday, 01 June 2011 17:33
Seemingly random acts of violence by bottlenose dolphins on porpoises could be down to sexual frustration among young males.
Cases of the cetaceans killing other creatures for no apparent reason have been reported in UK waters. Now, bottlenose dolphins have been seen attacking harbour porpoises in the Pacific Ocean. Crucially, these observations, published in Marine Mammal Science, show for the first time that the attackers are young males.
Mark Cotter at Okeanis, a non-profit conservation organisation in Moss Landing, California, USA, and colleagues, observed three acts of aggression by dolphins on lone porpoises.
The dolphins chased the porpoises at high speed, rammed and then drowned them. In one particularly violent attack, three dolphins corralled their victim before seven others joined them to ram the porpoise to death. Cotter found most shocking the fact that two dolphins remained behind to play with the carcass before pushing it towards his boat.
"It was almost like they said: 'We're done playing with it, here you go'."
Competition for food does not seem to explain the attacks, as the dietary overlap between the two species is small, said Cotter. But the fact that 21 of the 23 attackers were males may be revealing. He believes that the attacks are "object oriented play" during the breeding season by young males who cannot get access to females because of competition from older males.
"They are taking out their frustrations," he said.
"The identification of the 'culprits' as male is valuable," said Nick Tregenza, an adviser to the Marine Strandings Network in Cornwall, UK, and visiting researcher at the University of Exeter. That's because it helps narrow down potential explanations for the behaviour, he said.

getting closets right
Hi all,
We have a few closet issues to figure out. Our weirdest closet is a 18" wide space by 3 feet deep. It will be in our entrance way. I know this is less than ideal, but it is the space we have left over. Would it be best just to put hooks and make it an alcove, or make it a regular reach- in coat closet (perhaps with extra things stored in the extra foot of depth). I also wondered if we should do some sort of pull-out cabinets for coats. Our family will enter through a mudroom, so no family coats need to go here.
Another closet issue we are trying to struggle with is our eighteen year old son's closet. We could give him a reach- in closet that is 8'4" wide, or we could break that space down into a hall closet and a bedroom closet. The other bedrooms in our house are a floor up where we will have a good-sized linen closet. However, a hall closet here could be used for a variety of purposes (cleaning, vacuum hose, younger children's toys, linens or towels, general storage). Any opinions here?
Finally, what style of closet door do you find most useful? We have had bi-fold doors in the past, but they tend to break over time.
Below you will find my son's bedroom and the foyer area that shows the weird entry closet. Please note at this point in our renovations we are only moving interior walls and not adding square footage. We just completed an addition out back.
I think I'd do the hall closet option; making your son's closet more standard size.
As for the deep, narrow closet: I'd look into getting a clothing rack (on wheels), that would fit. You could wheel it out to hang guest jackets, and put them away...if that is something you could use.
Guests don't need a closet. They need (1) a place to sit to don/remove shoes, (2) a place to hang jackets (hooks are easier than hangers, unless your friends usually arrive wearing expensive mink coats), and (3) a place to put their shoes. We're personally doing an alcove with a bench and coat hooks, rather than a closet.
For your son's closet, I agree with giving him a traditional size closet and using the space as a hall closet. If I lived in your house, here are some things I would store there: board games, vacuum cleaner, luggage.
In my current house, we have sliding two-panel doors for some closets and bifolds for others. Of the two, I prefer the sliding two-panel doors. I personally prefer pocket doors or normal hinged doors that swing fully open and are flush with walls on either sides, but that's not always possible.
Putting a double pocket door on the laundry won't work--there's no place in the wall for the doors to slide back. I'd put a single door and have it open against the back side of the bath wall. Then move the hall/laundry wall to the right 2 or 3 feet into the hall, making the laundry larger.
I'd keep the large closet for your son, but make it 1 or 2' narrower, move his BR door a little to the left, and put the hall closet to the right of his BR door, and switch the swing of the BR door.
Can you move the 40" window to the wall on the left, next to the closet? Then you could put the bed on the long wall and still have space on the left wall for a larger chest.
Thank you everyone for your help. This forum is truly helping with my sanity as we get through this big addition project.
Kirkhall, thanks for helping me out once again. I really like your idea of the roll out devise in the guest closet - now to find one that would work.
Minneapoliste, thank you for responding. You are right that guests don't need a closet. It is just that there is this leftover space, so we felt a closet would be the best in the spot, rather than add the space to an entrance floor. Hooks in this space might work rather than hangers. Thanks as well for your thoughts on closet doors.
Anne I appreciate your helpful comments. There is just enough room to have a pocket door into the laundry room and it has already been framed, as has most of the house at this point (just the entrance and son's bedroom to go as add-ons). However, I am intrigued by your idea of adding more space to the laundry. If we move it over 2 - 3 feet as you suggested (i.e. move the wall between laundry closet and hall over), then I don't think we could get a single swing door into the laundry (on second look we could gain around 7 inches, but we need to reframe). I hope I have understood your idea correctly. Can you clarify your idea of laundry expansion if I have misunderstood? BTW, we can't move the bedroom window, or exterior door in my son's room as these are needed for front symmetry and are existing.
Any more comments are most welcome.
Your drawing must not be correct--what looks like a double pocket door must be a single pocket door. One of the doors must be the pocket that the door fits into?? In looking at the drawing more carefully, my 2'-3' is wrong; it seems like it would be more like 15" to 18" into the hall.

This Year of the Veteran we commemorate, acknowledge, and affirm the contributions made by our veterans to secure the liberties we continue to enjoy. Veterans served with courage and honor. But why were they willing to fight? They served because they believe not that war is good, but that sometimes it is necessary. They served not for the glory of war, but for the prize of freedom. Who were these men and women who fought for the prize of freedom? I read with great appreciation just a few days ago of one such individual who, like so many, went to war not knowing if he would come back. He dared risk it all for the prize of freedom. James Des Jardins, Green Bay, was a young fighter pilot whose plane was shot down in the German countryside in November 1944. He had been Missing in Action since. Recently, after all of these years, James Des Jardins was identified and his remains were returned to his family, a family that 68 years earlier had mourned and buried his older brother, also a pilot shot down during World War II. But this day, the day when James returned home, it was a day of celebration, not just for James homecoming, but for everything he sacrificed to defend. His family celebrated the gift James left for them: freedom. Einar Ingman, Kewaskum, was an Army corporal who served in Korea. When the leaders of the two leading squads of the assault platoon of his company were wounded during a mission, he assumed command and combined the squads. He then located and charged an enemy machine gun that was attacking his men and threw a grenade at it. He killed the remaining crew with his rifle. He charged a second enemy machine gun. He was hit by grenade fragments and gunfire and seriously wounded. Before falling unconscious, he killed the entire enemy guncrew, compelling the remaining hostile troops to retreat. For his valor and actions beyond the call of duty, Ingman received the highest military honor, the Medal of Honor. Next week the Department will celebrate the gift of freedom Corporal Ingman gave us as we unveil a monument at the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King to Wisconsins 62 Medal of Honor recipients. These are just two stories of selflessness and gallantry among thousands, stories of men and women who revered freedom. They defended our right to live in peace. And they deserve to be celebrated. So this year, lets celebrate the nearly 400,000 veterans living in Wisconsin and those who are no longer with us. Lets celebrate the men and women who stood up for you and me. They have made our world safer, more democratic, more peaceful. They defeated the forces of facism, imperialism, and terrorism. This is the prize of freedom. Today, and every day, let us celebrate the Wisconsin men and women who have served our country, appreciate their sacrifices, and take a moment to honor the legacy of these heroes and especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice. By John A. Scocos, Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, an Iraq War veteran Letter to the Editor: As a taxpayer in the Wausaukee School District, I would like to share one of many grave concerns I have regarding the functioning of this district. It wasnt that long ago that we were told that the district was broke - that we were headed for dissolution unless a referendum was passed in order to save the school. Since then the amount of money that has been needlessly spent has been appalling. The student enrollment has gone down so state aid has decreased, the class offerings have diminished, teachers have taken pay freezes and reductions, and many valuable staff members have been lost, and yet one teacher has been given a substantial raise so she wouldnt take a job in another district. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for such important decisions to be made and one seriously has to wonder how much thought really goes into some of these decisions. When a principal was being offered a position in another district, school board members said no man is worth an extra $10,000 but then gave a $5,700 raise to a teacher because she was offered a contract in another district. Recently in the Peshtigo Times, School Board President Dave Kipp stated that Its a sad day... Its a very sad day for the Wausaukee School District when announcing the recent lost arbitration cases, yet never once explained how the $36,750 payout could easily have been avoided – sad days indeed. Sincerely, Sue LaCoy Times Editor: What Have We Come To? We have taken the Word of God out of our schools and dont pray in school, and look what we have come to. Look what has happened to our children. We listen to the ACLU rather than the Word of God and dont spank our children, and look what has happened to our country. We put the ACLU above the Word of God and allow homosexuality to the point of marriage when there are at least 14 passages in the Bible AGAINST it. We have legalized abortion, contrary to the Word of God, and allow thousands of children to be murdered every day by abortion. They openly kill our people in the Middle East and we continue to send them money? We give billions of dollars of Social Security money to people to have never paid into it and wonder why the system is broke. That is for people who have WORKED for it all their lives by paying into it for retirement. We listen to environmentalists and pay outrageous prices for gasoline when we have a 100-year supply under our western states. We allow pornography that 7 and 8 year old children can see on the internet and call it Freedom of Speech? And now were supposed to say Happy Holidays and not use the word Christmas so we wont offend someone. How about the offense to millions of Christians? MY GOD ALMIGHTY....WHAT HAVE WE COME TO! Please, I beg of you, PLEASE read in the Bible 2 Chronicles 7:14 and take heed. If my people who are called by My name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. We need that now more than ever because you have voted the worst president in our history back in office. Arent you proud of yourself? Dont complain when our most beautiful country collapses. Jerome E. Finn, Oconto To the Editor: Well, Wisconsin, You Made History! As I have said in the past, I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican, I am a Constitutional Conservative and with that said, let me also say this. You elected one of the most liberal people in America to be your U.S. Senator. Electing a person that believes it is a good thing to allow the killing of defenseless babies; arent you proud of yourself? You elected a person who believes everyone should pay for birth control for the sexually promiscuous in society, I hope it is not your son or daughter; arent you proud of yourself? You elected a senator that loathes the military; arent you proud of yourself? You elected a person so smart she knows better than you what health care you need. Gee, are we really that stupid we need her to tell us what health care we need?Arent you proud of yourself? You are sending to Washington a person on a mission to get gay marriage legalized nationwide; arent you proud of yourself? You are sending Tammy Baldwin, a professed gay, who sees herself as a role model for that cause; arent you proud of yourself? By electing Tammy Baldwin to the U.S. Senate it helps prove Obama was right when he said we are no longer a Christian nation; arent you proud of yourself? You voted for Baldwin and claim to be a Christian. Oh, really. On the other hand, you did not vote for Baldwin/Obama and claim to be a Christian, you may very well be. We all will have to suffer with your mistake, Wisconsin; arent you proud of yourself? God, please save America, You are the only one who can!

Bay of Kotor view from the top of the Pestingrad rock, 1009 m above sea level. This is the rock which dominates the Kotor Old Town photos as a backdrop. Down there the triangle shaped town is Kotor Old Town, serpentine footway and a winding road emerging above it. Over the Vrmac mountain is Tivat and its airport in the Bay of Tivat, beyond this all is the Adriatic Sea. Behind the Pestingrad is Đerinski peak (1098 m). To the east of the bay is Lovćen mountain with Jezerski (1657 m) and Štirovnik (1749 m) peaks.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

|Reich and Jones sign to play at Owens College
Charlestown Pirate Baseball seniors, Ryan Jones (left seated center) and Drew Reich (right seated center) have signed to play NJCAA college baseball next school year for Owens College in Perrysburg, Ohio.
Jones is joined by his family, including parents JR and Tisha Jones and Reich, his family, including patents Andrew Reich and Jennifer Romans. Both families are joined by Pirate Baseball Assistant Coach Brian Hester and Head Coach Ricky Romans (left to right standing) and Charlestown High School Athletic Director Chad Gilbert (seated left).
Reich has a current high school pitching record of 22 wins and 3 loses, and on a 22 game winning streak with an ERA of 2.50 and 185 strikeouts.
Owens College is currently recruiting Reich for a pitching position on their team.
Jones currently, going into his senior year as a Pirate, holds a .394 batting average (99-251) just one hit shy of No. 100; including 17 doubles, seven triples, seven home runs, and 66 stolen bases.
Owens College is currently recruiting Ryan as an outfielder prospect.
"I am very proud of both of these guys. They have worked extremely hard and deserve this opportunity. I fully expect them to represent Owens and Coach Parisho's baseball program with the same effort and attitude the way they have represented Charlestown High School and our baseball program," commented Head Pirate skipper Romans after the signing ceremony.
