Today BMe (Black Male Engagement) begin accepting applications for its 2014 "BMe Leadership Awards" which go to inspired black men in Philadelphia, Detroit and Baltimore who are committed to helping others and improving their community.
Did you know? "BMe (pronounced Be-Me), is an uplifting community that embraces black men and boys as assets to society."
The BMe Leadership Award was created to recognize the many ways that black men are assets to communities. It rewards and celebrates everyday black men whose meaningful contributions are often overlooked. The application form is basically three questions, "how do you contribute to your community", "what's your story" and "how would you use the money to help others."
Did you now? Ten inspiring black men per city will receive BMe Leadership Awards and be publicly recognized as BMe Leaders. They will each receive $10,000 to apply towards their efforts to strengthen community, and will be networked locally and nationally via the BMe Community. BMe's mission is to build caring and prosperous communities inspired by black men, and BMe Leaders are the everyday men whom BMe lifts up as examples of what we all can do.
"We all personally know men like these – our grandfathers, fathers, co-workers and friends," says Trabian Shorters, BMe's founding CEO. "Here's a chance to honor them because their contributions are so often overlooked. Everyone nominated will have a chance to be recognized, not just the guys who ultimately earn the title of BMe Leader."
All nominees, as well as their nominators of any race or sex, will gain access to the BMe Community, its news, web tools and local community-building events.
Detroit-based entrepreneur Clement Brown, Jr. won a BMe Leadership Award in 2013 and credits the opportunity with connecting him to outstanding black men from around the country and with people of all race and sex who care about improving communities. It even helped him get an extraordinary opportunity to expand his business.
"Becoming a BMe Leadership Award recipient has impacted my life tremendously," says Brown. "Being a part of BMe has given me the opportunity to learn from and work with outstanding men, from here in Detroit, as well as Baltimore and Philadelphia. It has also motivated me to apply for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses initiative, which has been a great resource to grow my business. I'm very fortunate to belong to such a powerful, positive group of brothers, who are dedicated to improving our families and communities."
Rashaun Williams, a Philadelphia college student, was recognized as a BMe Leader in 2013 when he was 19-years-old.
"Being a BMe Leader," says Williams, "has been a phenomenal experience – there's a genuine sense of brotherhood among us and the other BMe Leaders continue to inspire and motivate me every day."
Nominees must be at least 18 years old and their contributions to the community must benefit those in Detroit, Baltimore or Philadelphia. Since 2012, BMe has named 70 BMe Leaders who continue to make a significant and lasting impact on the lives of their fellow residents, young and old.
Emannuel Cephas, a nationally acclaimed software developer in Baltimore emphasizes, "BMe provides a unique environment that adds dimension to the meaning of brotherhood. Collaborating and bonding with the BMe brothers from Philly and Detroit, as well as my hometown Baltimore empowers me to look around and see that I belong to a community of men who look like me, are motivated just as I am, and who are all achieving major success by following their passion. We are a community of builders -collectively we're living proof that black men are assets, and we are each making a difference using our respective talents."

Driver Joe was very engaging as a speaker and expert as a driver. Scenery was awesome. Tour is long so you might want to bring along snacks or buy banana bread at one of the stops for eating late in the afternoon.

Pickup was quite smooth at the Maui Airport (OGG)
A person walked around with a IPAD mini and it had my name on it. At arrival it was quite crowded due to multiple flights in.
Shuttle service was well organized and took us to about 4 hotels. Recommend this way to your hotel to others.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders (NIDDK), lactose is often added to prepared foods, including bread and other baked goods; processed breakfast cereals; instant potatoes, soups, and breakfast drinks; margarine; lunch meats (other than kosher); salad dressings; candies and other snacks; and mixes for pancakes, biscuits, and cookies.
Some products labeled nondairy, such as powdered coffee creamer and whipped toppings, may also include ingredients that are derived from milk and therefore contain lactose.
When reading food labels with care, look not only for milk and lactose among the contents, but also for words such as whey; curds; milk by-products; dry milk solids; and nonfat dry milk powder.
Lactose is used as the base for more than 20 percent of prescription drugs and about 6 percent of over-the-counter medicines. Many types of birth control pills, for example, contain lactose, as do some tablets for stomach acid and gas.
Lactose intolerance is a condition caused by a lack of an enzyme called lactase, which, in turn, causes the body to be unable to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk products.
Lactase is normally produced in the small intestine where it breaks lactose down into a form that can be absorbed by the blood. A lack of lactase can cause uncomfortable symptoms for some people. Those who do exhibit the symptoms are said to be lactose intolerant.
Thirty to 50 million Americans (adults and children) are lactose intolerant. The disorder affects some populations more than others:
Digestive diseases or injuries to the small intestine can reduce the amount of enzymes produced, and is the usual cause of lactose intolerance in young children. However, most cases of lactose intolerance develop over a period of many years in adults.
The following are the most common symptoms of lactose intolerance. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Common symptoms, which begin about 30 minutes to two hours after consuming foods or beverages containing lactose, may include:
The severity of symptoms varies depending on the amount of lactose consumed and the amount each individual can tolerate.
The symptoms of lactose intolerance may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
The most common diagnostic tests (performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital, clinic, or physician's office) used to measure the absorption of lactose in the digestive system include the following:
Specific treatment for lactose intolerance will be determined by your physician based on:
Although there is not a treatment to improve the body's ability to produce lactase, symptoms caused by lactose intolerance can be controlled with a proper diet. In addition, lactase enzymes may be suggested by your physician.
Young children with lactase deficiency should be under the care of a physician.
In September of 2006, the American Academy of Pediatrics released new guidelines for treating lactose intolerance. These guidelines support the use of dairy foods as an important source of calcium for bone growth and maintenance, as well as of other nutrients needed for growth in children and adolescents.
In the past, it had been recommended that dairy products should be eliminated from the diet to treat lactose intolerance. The new guidelines suggest that dairy foods should be tried to see which ones can be tolerated better than others. While the symptoms of lactose intolerance can be unpleasant, the condition does not damage the body. Thus, dairy foods that cause less disagreeable symptoms should be used in the diet to ensure adequate intake of calcium and other important nutrients.
Calcium is essential for the growth and repair of bones throughout life, and has been suggested as a preventive for other diseases. Because milk and other dairy products are a major source of calcium, lactose intolerant children and adults must be concerned with getting enough calcium in a diet that includes little or no milk.
The recommended daily dietary allowance (RDA) for calcium, released in 2004 by the National Academy of Sciences, varies by age group:
Many nondairy foods are high in calcium, including the following:
Vitamin D is necessary for the body to absorb calcium; therefore, a diet should provide an adequate supply of vitamin D. Sources of vitamin D include eggs and liver, as well as sunlight.

"Teen Mom" star Kailyn Lowry knows what it takes to become a mother for the second time. She already had Isaac when Lincoln was born and she quickly realized that it was about creating a balancing act between her sons. And now that her co-star, Jenelle Evans, is expecting her second child, Kailyn has some advice for her. And it has nothing to do with her soon-to-be the newborn. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on June 26, "Teen Mom" star Kailyn Lowry tells Jenelle to focus on Jace.
When asked about Jenelle's new baby, Kailyn had plenty of advice to dish out. "Her and Nathan should always try to schedule time for themselves, to kind of have a break," Kailyn advises. "And definitely making one-on-one time with Jace [Jenelle's first son] because she is going to have her hands full with a newborn, and he still needs his mom. Just keeping that one-on-one time with him is probably my biggest advice."
Kailyn has had lots of support from Javi Marroquin, who has been able to attend to Lincoln, so Kailyn could spend some time with Isaac when he required some extra attention. Of course, she also got her son involved with more activities with Lincoln. But it is definitely questionable how Jenelle will take this advice from Kailyn. The two have had a rocky friendship.
The two may have common experiences filming the show, but the two have had a rocky friendship. Jenelle has unfollowed Kailyn on Twitter a couple of times because of comments that Kailyn made over tabloid stories. One of these stories had to do with Nathan's supposed drug use a couple of months ago. No word on whether these two are talking again.
Of course, Leah Calvert could also give Jenelle some advice, but the two don't seem as close. Leah and Jenelle may hang out when they film specials for MTV, but they tend not to hang out as much when they are not filming together. And yet, these two may have the same concerns as some of the viewers of the show; how will Jenelle take care of this child when she couldn't take care of Jace?
What do you think of her advice?

College Hockey:Washout: Mercyhurst, Bentley Battle To Wild Tie
ERIE, Pa. — Wild. Woolly. Maybe even a little freaky.
Those words probably best describe Tuesday's 4-4 tie between Atlantic Hockey rivals Mercyhurst and Bentley, played before a crowd of 775 at the Mercyhurst Ice Center.
Undisciplined? That could be the best word to describe Mercyhurst's play.
Aggressive but unopportunistic? That might have been Bentley.
In the end, one word was for certain — it was a wash.
Trailing 4-3 with time running down in regulation, the Lakers, who took 18 penalties to six for Bentley — and 12 straight at one point — got a shorthanded goal from defenseman Preston Briggs to tie the game at 4 and salvage a point from a game that appeared to belong to the Falcons.
With the tie, Mercyhurst moved to 5-9-3 overall, and 4-1-3 in the conference. Mercyhurst remains in fourth place in AH, two points behind Holy Cross (5-2-3), which defeated Sacred Heart 3-2 on Tuesday. Bentley is now 3-10-4 overall, and 2-5-3 in AH. The tie left the Falcons in sixth place, one point behind Quinnipiac (3-2-2), which played to a 4-4 tie with Canisius Tuesday.
After having played their first game since Dec. 11, and just their third home game of the season, the Lakers get no rest, as they host archrival Quinnipiac on Wednesday.
Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin (17th year, 303-178-31) said that the penalty situation in Tuesday's game was unlike anything he's seen.
Which left him, in his own words, "horrified."
"It was such a crazy game from a penalty-power play standpoint," Gotkin said, referring to the Lakers' 68 minutes in penalties to 22 for the Falcons — on Mercyhurst's home ice.
"I've never been in a game like this in my 17 years here," Gotkin said. "We took 14 minor penalties, they took six, and I thought they took several that didn't get called for some reason.
"I was horrified. Absolutely horrified by what I saw out there today," he said. "Getting 12 in a row — I've never seen such a thing. This is no way that hockey should be played."
Bentley coach Ryan Soderquist (3rd year, 27-48-8) said that he felt fortunate to come out of Mercyhurst's building with a point, even though his team went just 2-of-13 with a man advantage, which they owned a good portion of the game.
"We came out with some jump tonight," Soderquist said. "I think we're starting to realize that we're a good team, and can play with anybody."
Soderquist agreed with Gotkin about the nature of the game. But he said that he'd take it.
"It was quite wild, with all the penalties and up and down," Soderquist said. "We didn't capitalize, and Mercyhurst battled back after killing all those penalties. Give them credit, their bench was low in numbers after they lost three players late in the game.
"But I was pretty happy that we didn't lose the lead in the third," Soderquist said. "We'll take the tie on the road."
The three players that Mercyhurst lost, all in the last half of the third period, were all forwards, sophomore Scott Champagne (misconduct), senior David Wrigley (misconduct, game misconduct) and sophomore Kyle Gourgon (misconduct).
"There's no question, some of the penalties that we took were clearly deserved," Gotkin said. "My issue is that the calls didn't go both ways."
Even though his team scored late in the game to earn the point, Gotkin was not as satisfied with the tie as Soderquist.
"Ties are ties," Gotkin said. "We're glad that we got a point, but mad that we didn't get two points. But that's how it goes."
Bentley made a statement early when Josh Chase scored off a deflection of Seth Vinocur's shot just 1 minute, 35 seconds into the game, putting the Falcons up 1-0. The goal was Chase's second of the season.
Five minutes later, junior David Borrelli got his team-leading 10th goal of the season to tie the game, 1-1. Borrelli's goal, which was a power play score while Jake Plattner was off for high-sticking, came from 10 feet on the right side after a feed from Gourgon from behind the net.
At 4:00 of the second period, defenseman Conrad Martin gave Mercyhurst its only lead of the game, 2-1. Martin scored on a rising one-timer from the right point that went right over the head of Bentley goalie Simon St. Pierre, who was screened. The goal was the second for Martin, a junior; freshman Matt Warren assisted.
Josh Thompson retied the game, 2-2, six minutes later. Streaking in on a 2-on-1, Thompson skated right in on Mercyhurst goalie Andy Franck, then skated left. While flat on his back, Franck stretched his right arm to make the save, but Thompson continued to whack at the puck while Franck attempted to smother it. Martin, trying to push it into Franck, instead nudged it past him, giving Thompson the goal (his second).
Chase scored his second of the game, at 1:55 of the third period, to put the Falcons back into the lead, 3-2. Chase's goal, his third of the season, was a power play goal, with Champagne sitting after a high-sticking call at the conclusion of the second period. Chase's shot from the blue line deflected off Briggs and past Franck.
Freshman Ben Cottreau sent the game into yet another tie, 3-3, by poking the puck past St. Pierre from the doorstep at 4:52 of the third period. Cottreau's goal was his fifth, and came off a feed from Lakers' captain Scott Reynolds.
Bentley scoring leader Brendan McCartin, a junior, then put the Falcons up 4-3 when he walked though Mercyhurst's triangle defense to beat Franck from 10 feet while the Lakers were two men short. McCartin's goal, which came at 14:33 of the third, was his seventh.
"All we wanted to do all night on the power play was to get shots on net, and we did that," McCartin said. "I got a good pass from Kyle Larman, and I took a shot, but looked down and didn't know where it went. The next thing I knew, the red light was on and it was a goal."
Finally, with the Lakers down a man, Briggs notched the game's last goal, and his first of the season, with 2:56 remaining in regulation.
"I was just following up the play, and saw that Denny (Kirstein) had taken a quick shot that was blocked," Briggs said. "(Rich) Hansen recovered the puck, so I just went as hard as I could. I saw a little opening, and he hit me on the tape. (I took a) slapshot, and it went in. I was real happy about that."
Briggs' goal beat St. Pierre five-hole.
In overtime, Bentley outshot Mercyhurst 3-2, but nobody could muster a game-winner.
For the game, the Lakers outshot the Falcons 43-38. St. Pierre's record moved to 2-6-4, while Franck's is now 5-7-3.
The Lakers made good on 1-of-5 power plays to 2-of-13 for the Falcons.
"We had a lot of penalties, but you've got to find a way to battle through that stuff," Reynolds said. "We can't be taking penalties like that, and giving yourself a short bench. That's not what you want."

text: Bhavishya-yaan – Spread the Light of Literacy BHAVISHYA-YAAN – SPREAD THE LIGHT OF LITERACY Bhavishya-yaan – Spread the Light of Literacy an Adult Literacy Program conducted by "Education For All Committee" at the Colaba Municipal School were held on 20th March at 3 pm at the school. This is a unique program where the Bhavishya-yaan students will be teaching their own mothers and in turn imparting education to better their lives. The Chief Guest for the program was Sheriff of Mumbai, Rtn. Dr. Mrs. Indu Shahani accompanied by host of other guests Addl. Municipal Commissioner, Mr. Ashish, Rtn. Gulam Vahanvaty, Rtn. Pankaj Baliga, and the 'Education For All Committee Members. The program started with the introduction by an HR-Sife student who called upon President Nandan Damani to start the program. Pres. Nandan Damani spoke on how the Bhavishya-yaan program has escalated to great heights. This program which was started about a year ago at Dr. Ambedkar School, Worli with only 40 students, now has 120 students. They started the same project at another municipal school namely the Colaba Municipal School with another 120 students, in partnership with VIDYA & SIFE HR. He further went on explain that March being declared as the Literacy Month, he was very pleased with the efforts of the Bhavishya-yaan students who are a part of the Adult Literacy program where they will be teaching their own mothers. Hindi and Marathi will be taught by the special software developed by TCS and English conversation will be taught by the students. He wished the program a great success. The program started with the lighting of the lamp by Dr. Mrs. Indu Shahani, followed by Rtn. Gulam Vahanvaty, Rtn. Pankaj Baliga, Pres. Nandan Damani, Mrs. Neeta Pradhan, Rtn. Alok Sekhsaria and Prof. Pratibha Patil. Two Bhavishya-yaan students came on to the stage and explained in their own words in English, Marathi and Hindi on how Bhavishya-yaan has helped them and made them confident to stand and speak in front of an audience and also stressed on the importance of Education. This was followed by two mothers who came on stage. The first mother spoke in Marathi and she mentioned that she was happy to be selected to be a part of the Adult Literacy program. She was excited with the fact that she will be able to converse in English which was lacking even though she knew how to read and write. The second mother sang a song on Education which moved the entire audience. The Chief Guest, Dr. Mrs. Indu Shahani began her speech in Marathi and then spoke in Hindi where she stressed on the importance of Education and how it makes a difference to people in society. She said that Rotary Club of Bombay has donated this very important thing i.e. Education to people, which is making a difference in their lives. She also mentioned about how she was taken up with the 300 Anganwadi teachers who learnt English to teach their children and who put up an entire function in English where she was invited as a guest. She thanked the Rotary Club of Bombay for doing this wonderful job and she urged all the mothers to make the best of the opportunity given to them and to make an effort not only to attend classes but to make a success out of it. PDG Gulam Vahanvaty was very impressed with the Bhavishya-yaan project and also with the help that VIDYA & HR-SIFE is giving this project. He is keen that this project is repeated in many Municipal Schools all over Mumbai.

Terrible Book for a real world programming,
This review is from: Professional PHP Programming (Paperback)
This book might be worthwhile as a classroom workbook where you go through each and every chapter in order. As a book for somebody who wants to get things done this book is terrible. You have to wade through entire chapters to find what you want and the index is useless.
For my real world projects I have never found what I wanted to know in this book. You are better off just looking at online documentation.
It is also out of date and lacks coverage of sessions (there is a newer edition of the book that might include this but I am not going to buy it).

Nokia 803 To Succeed The N8?
Leaked user manual points towards a new camera-oriented Symbian smartphone.
The Nokia N8 was widely successful when it broke cover last year. Evidently, it is still the best camera phone around and easily replaces a point and shoot camera. Having said that, besides the camera, the N8 doesn't have much to brag about. The operating system is almost nearing its end (hopefully not) and other aspects of the handset have nothing to write home about. Well, Nokia has set its foot into Windows Phone 7 now, rendering operating systems such as Symbian and MeeGo utterly helpless. However, unlike MeeGo, Symbian still has a bit of a fight left in it. With Symbian Belle, we've seen a lot of improvements over the Symbian^3 OS which broke cover last year.
Now, Pocketnow has accessed a user manual for an alleged future Nokia device called the Nokia 803. The interesting part however is that, the source suggests that this device could be the successor to the Nokia N8. The sketch does give us a hint of that.
There is little information about this new camera oriented phone, but rumors are pointing towards a camera sensor better than the one on the N8. It is believed that a 1 GHz single core CPU will be onboard with 512 MB of RAM, along with features such as HDMI, NFC etc. The 3.5" display is said to be retained for the new Nokia 803 but it will be WVGA (480 x 800) this time. Well, looking at the alleged sketch of the new device, one can say that it certainly doesn't look like a flagship product. Given how thick the device is and that the front portion of the device is rather simple, there is substantial amount of doubts in our mind. It therefore might be a wee bit early to comment on the authenticity of the info. The handset is rumored to break cover at the MWC 2012 in Barcelona. We expect Nokia to shed more light on this alleged new camera phone in February.

The National Academy of Inventors®
- recognizes and encourages inventors who have a patent issued from the United States Patent and Trademark Office
- enhances the visibility of university and non-profit research institute technology and academic innovation
- encourages the disclosure of intellectual property
- educates and mentors innovative students
- encourages the translation of the inventions of its members to benefit society
The NAI edits the international journal Technology and Innovation - Proceedings of the National Academy of Inventors®, published by Cognizant Communication Corporation.
Membership in the National Academy of Inventors® is available through local university and non-profit research institute chapters only. To join your university or non-profit research institute's chapter, you must be a member of your institution's academic community (includes faculty, staff, alumni and affiliates) and have a patent issued from the USPTO.
Universities and non-profit research institutes are invited to establish a local chapter of the NAI, to recognize and encourage their community of inventors.
Honoring Academic Invention
In universities and non-profit research institutes across the nation and around the world, great scientists, scholars and educators are teaching the next generation of researchers and inventors.
A researcher's contribution reaches the benchmark of inventorship as recognized by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office because its discovery had no significant prior art, was not obvious to someone else skilled in the field, and had a specific use. Although every invention and every inventor is unique, some things are common to all. It takes imagination and ingenuity to be an inventor.
The systematic application of organized knowledge and information can generate technology and produce creative solutions to existing problems. Inventors are the discoverers and creators of these solutions, and, as such, are key contributors to the advancement of technology. Protection of this intellectual property, through the patenting process, underpins the creation of new industries and employment.
Innovation, based on new inventions and technologies, has proven to be a key factor in the industrial and economic development of the world. The support, encouragement and development of technology and innovation are also fundamental to the success of a university.
The NAI serves a valuable role in the translation of science and technology within the university and non-profit research institute community, and for the benefit of society. For members, this organization can serve to encourage creative thinking and the spirit of innovation, promote and enhance the development and utilization of inventions, and provide advice and guidance to new and existing inventors in their work.
History of the NAI
The National Academy of Inventors is a 501(c)(3) non-profit member organization comprising U.S. and international universities, and governmental and non-profit research institutes, with over 3,000 individual inventor members and Fellows spanning more than 200 institutions, and growing rapidly. It was founded in 2010 to recognize and encourage inventors with patents issued from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, enhance the visibility of academic technology and innovation, encourage the disclosure of intellectual property, educate and mentor innovative students, and translate the inventions of its members to benefit society.
The NAI publishes the multidisciplinary journal Technology and Innovation, Journal of the National Academy of Inventors®.

College Hockey:Michigan Slips by Western
Three-Goal Explosion In Second Helps Carry Wolverines
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — The Michigan Wolverines used a three-goal second period in a come-from-behind effort to squeak by the Western Michigan Broncos, 6-5, Saturday night at Lawson Ice Arena.
With a crowd of 3,600 on hand for an intense, physical game, the Wolverines (12-5 overall, 8-3 CCHA) used two second-period power-play goals and a shorthander to move past the Broncos.
"I like the way we came from behind tonight," said Michigan head coach Red Berenson. "We were down two goals in that second period, and the power play really gave us a spark and got us back in the game. Then it was anybody's game to win."
Down 3-1 and facing a Bronco power play, senior center T.J. Hensick broke free into the Bronco zone and found right winger David Rohlfs for the second Wolverine goal of the night at the 15.02 mark.
Just over a minute later, on a Western penalty, sophomore center Andrew Cogliano took the pass from Hensick on the left wing, just shy of the blueline, and fired a slapshot past reaching WMU freshman goalie Riley Gill to even the score at 3.
The third Wolverine goal of the period came off the stick of Kevin Porter with just 45 seconds remaining, giving Michigan a one-goal advantage heading into the third period. Hensick added his third of four assists on that goal, along with one for Chad Kolarik.
"I thought it was a hard-fought game by both teams tonight," said WMU coach Jim Culhane. "It was pretty fitting that it was a one-goal game based upon the physicality and emotion. … For us, we are obviously disappointed in the outcome, but very proud of our effort."
"I think emotions run high in this type of atmosphere," said Mark Letestu, WMU freshman center. "When you get this many people in the building, you get excited and it's the effort and consistency that needs to be there for us as we need to learn how to keep our emotions in check to play with these contending teams."
Michigan used an early WMU penalty in the first period to help notch the first goal of the game at the 2:49 mark, scored by freshman Brian Lebler with the assists going to Brandon Naurato and senior captain Matt Hunwick.
Less than a minute later, however, the Broncos evened the score at 1 on a Patrick Galivan unassisted goal. Galivan, who took the puck from a Michigan defender, chipped the puck past Wolverine goalie Steve Jakiel, earning his first career road start in Maize and Blue.
Berenson and his coaching staff made the move to play the freshman Jakiel Saturday, giving sophomore Billy Sauer a game off.
"The last two games he [Sauer] has just given up too many goals against," the Wolverine coach said. "Whether he's tired or just wasn't sharp, when you give up 13 goals in two games, you have to look for new ways to improve. Jakiel hadn't played and we had to see if he could help this team, and I think he did that tonight."
After scoring six goals on Sauer Friday night, the Broncos weren't upset that they didn't see him in goal Saturday.
"We really don't focus much on our opponent that much," Culhane said. "When we look at them, we look for tendencies. We put a lot of responsibility on ourselves and want to focus on the things we need to do."
Leading 2-1 to begin that second period, the Broncos were able to move to a two-goal advantage on a power play goal by Jason Moul chipping in his first goal of the season on a back-handed wrap around goal past an outreached Jakiel. Co-captain Jeff LoVecchio and Nathan Ansell added the assists.
In a third period, that began with a 4-3 Wolverine advantage, Jeff Pierce was able to even the score with his fifth goal of the season at the 7:31 mark, as Tyler Ludwig and Letestu assisted on the goal.
Not wasting anytime to take the lead again, Naurato was able to mark his second point of the night on the go-ahead goal on a pass from Hensick from left to right for his fourth assist on the night.
Coming right back in the zone, after a couple of missed scoring opportunities for the Broncos, Michigan was able to go up 6-4 on Cogliano's second goal of the game and fifth in this weekend series.
"I think we showed a lot of resiliency tonight," Culhane said. "I thought we battled tremendously all night long. We showed a lot of courage being down one goal going into the third and then when we were down two goals in the third, we didn't stop battling."
In the final period, the Wolverines were able to piece their lineup together with two players, Jack Johnson and Jason Dest, both going down with injuries.
"It was old time hockey in the period," Berenson said. One good thing was that we had Tim Cook in the lineup and also Rohlfs, which we could have moved back to defense."
On the final goal of the night, LoVecchio was able to find a charging Letestu down the right slot, as he was able to put it past Jakiel in the two-hole. Pierce was also given an assist.
Not surprised by the type of game between the two in-state rivals Culhane agreed that the home ice proved to be a big difference in the game and was a great representation of the university.
"Anytime we play at home and have the energy and electricity we had tonight, we have a lot to be proud of here at Western," he said. "It was a tremendous crowd tonight, which was entertained to a very competitive, hard fought battle between two good teams."
The Broncos will enjoy a break next weekend because of finals week, but then will travel to take on Wayne State on Dec. 16. Michigan, however will take on Notre Dame next weekend in a home and home series, starting on Dec. 8 in Ann Arbor and concluding in South Bend on Dec.10.
"We have to re-focus on a major opponent next week with Notre Dame," Berenson said. "We have this week to patch our lineup together, and put our best foot forward this Friday night."

10-12 Happy Birthday AngelsMy last day in Lancaster was DISGUSTING. I started to ask myself what I was doing here. Why did I come here? All of a sudden I wanted to be surrounded by my Ottawa family. People who care, and wonder why I'm quiet even when i'm just pausing to take a breath. Solitude may be peaceful and calming, but it sure as heck is LONELY. The day began...
I missed my 9am alarm and woke up at 11am; frantic and panicky because I had an exam at 2 and two papers two hand. After working on my papers 3 weeks earlier, I submitted them 15minutes late and I lose 10% off each of them. For the first time in years, my eyes were brimming, I was on the verge of tears. Upset and angry at myself for missing my alarm, for not showering faster, for not eating quicker, for walking instead of running for not planning the night before. Then I remembered it was December 10th and I closed my eyes, put my hands together, bowed my head and pray to God through my Angel. My personal Angel, Hadiza, my baby, and I congratulated her on her 4th Angel birthday because I know that's what her job is now.
In minutes I felt better. NO time didn't rewind for me to submit my papers early and I still had an exam in an hour. But my heart was warmed up and my image in the mirror brightened and my lips drew out into a smile.
My renewal was internal.
Do you believe in Angels? I do. And I know my baby is an Angel and she made me happy today. Sometimes I dedicate steps in my life to her, achievements., good grades. I remember her all the time and I smile because she was the cutest little baby ever. I love you Hadiza and keep watching over us our other 59 Angels.

An expensive luxury car left unattended with its key in the ignition was apparently too tempting for a man police say drove off in the car -- but the alleged car thief probably wishes he had picked a different vehicle.
After the 2013 Audi S-5 coupe -- a car that sells new for about $52,000 -- was stolen from downtown San Jose Monday evening, police were able to track the car electronically to nearby Palo Alto.
The owner -- who had left the key to the car in the ignition -- had also left an iPhone phone inside.
Using the phone's "Find my iPhone" function San Jose police say they were able to determine the car had been driven to the Town & Country Village, an upscale mall about 18 miles away. San Jose police alerted Palo Alto police, who sent their officers to the shopping center.
Besides having the iPhone inside, the Audi was also equipped with a LoJack Theft Recovery system, which helped officers find the stolen car in the expansive mall's parking lot.
The suspect was not in the car, but when officers started looking through the Audi for evidence, they saw a man fitting the suspect's description walking into a nearby CVS Pharmacy.
Officers arrested the suspected car thief -- identified as 44-year-old Tony Nathan Cota, of Fresno -- without incident inside the store.
Because police say Nathan had methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia on him when he was taken into custody, besides being held on auto theft charges, Nathan is also being held on drug charges.
"Police credit the "Find My iPhone" app and the LoJack stolen vehicle recovery system in leading them to the suspect in this case," Palo Alto police Lieutenant Zach Peron, said in a statement.
"We encourage people to enable security features in their portable electronic devices whenever possible, and to familiarize themselves with how to use it."
After making the arrest, police released the Audi to its owner -- a man they're describing as an "appreciative victim" -- with the iPhone still inside the glove compartment.
The car was not damaged.

Charity Truitt was fighting yet another panic attack that made it increasingly clear she was not going to complete the corporate merger between the Truitt department store chain and Loftus Athletic Gear. She was not going to marry Brett Loftus either....
Notorious deal maker Elias Winters had changed gears and soon after, settled in Whispering Waters Cove. He'd been studying martial arts and Asian philosophy with one burning goal in mind - only to discover that he'd been swept into unknown emotional seas....
Facing crises of career and heart, two of the most powerful corporate figures in the Northwest are now borne by the currents of fate to the same small Washington town, and to their respective shops - a bookstore for Charity and a small curiosity shop for Elias. But no one, especially Charity Truitt, believes that Elias Winters has suddenly stopped out swimming the corporate sharks just to run a small business. As Charity and Elias begin a cautious exploration of each other's pasts, hidden agendas, and libidos, they discover one thing they definitely have in common: a martial arts master, he's a novice at relationships; a formidable executive, she's starting in the mailroom when it comes to love. After two shocking murders, Charity and Elias really join forces to catch a killer - and become next in line for an early demise.In a story that is at once a 1990s Hepburn-Tracy affair and an astute observation of life in the Northwest, Deep Waters resonates with wit, vivid characters, and a mystery-romance to die for. Jayne Ann Krentz, as always, is a master!

"They got it wrong"
The parot
From the beginning of the book it constantly describes Isic's voice as very deep but the reader could not achieve anything like a deep voice. The character Isic's voice ended up sounding like a wimpy 13 year old boy. They got it wrong for this book it should have been read by a man. Most of the main characters were men.
no film
I love Krents books and believe I have listened to most this one was hard for me to get through. Like I said I felt it should have been read by a man.
"Waters Run Deep"
Watery love story
When they say animals and babies steal the show, it is the truth the bird was an added character in this story that surprised you at the end.
No this is my first and I did not think she did a bad job
I thought it was funny in some parts while it made you think of the important things in life in other parts of the book
"Nice Romance with Light Mystery"
I would recommend the paper version of this book which I did enjoy. I could not recommend the audio version due to the narrator.
Deep Waters is similar to other Jayne Ann Krentz books set in the northwest US, aspects of paranormal powers, romantic mystery, etc.
The narrator reminded me of high school kids in class play - too melodramatic. It is very irritating and made me want to stop listening. Very unprofessional.
No. The narrator was too annoying to listen to for very long.
I have read all of Jayne Ann Krentz's, Jayne Castle's and Amanda Quick's books and enjoyed them all. Narrators can destroy a favorite book by being too melodramatic or with other idiosyncrasies. Publishers should be required to fully listen to at least 5 chapters before they confirm a narrator.
I enjoy Jayne Ann Krentz's books no matter what name she writes under. I've read most of her books and now I'm listening to them too.

As a result, her new blonde look has taken many people by surprise. Yet, considering the hot summer months are quickly approaching, it is not surprising that the Maggie may want something a little bit cooler.

ORANGE – A woman who her husband says never accepted their 7-month-old son as "normal" was arrested on suspicion of throwing the boy from the fourth floor of a Children's Hospital of Orange County parking structure and is undergoing a psychological evaluation in the jail's medical ward while her son clings to life.
Sonia Hermosillo, 31, of La Habra is accused of tossing her baby over the railing of the parking structure about 6:20 p.m. Monday, Orange police Sgt. Dan Adams said.
"I don't know what happened yesterday," said the infant's father, Noe Medina, who was visibly emotional.
The infant, who received therapy twice a week at CHOC for conditions he was born with, remained in the intensive-care unit Tuesday afternoon at UCI Medical Center in Orange. Medina said his son suffered head trauma in the fall and is in critical condition.
Medina said his wife, who suffers from postpartum depression, grabbed their son and left their La Habra home about 5:30 p.m. while he was taking a quick shower and his daughters, 7 and 10, went outside.
"She found herself alone with the baby, and I think she saw the moment as her opportunity to grab the baby, get the car and leave," Medina said in Spanish on Tuesday afternoon at the hospital.
Medina, 29, said his wife was hospitalized in June after she said she didn't want their son, who was diagnosed with congenital muscular torticollis – a twisting of the neck to one side. The infant also wore a helmet to help correct his plagiocephaly, also known as flat-head syndrome. It was unknown if Noe, named after his father, was wearing a helmet when he was tossed over the railing.
Noe, his father said, received physical therapy every Tuesday and Thursday at CHOC and was showing signs of improvement.
"She didn't look at our son as normal," Medina said. "She didn't accept him. She didn't accept that he was like this."
Surveillance cameras in the parking structure Monday captured the license plate of a tan 2000 Chevy Blazer, which was driven by a woman and registered to an address in La Habra, Orange police Sgt. Adams said. Detectives then received a report from a man who reported his wife and infant son missing, and determined Hermosillo had been driving the Blazer that matched the one in the surveillance video.
About 10:15 p.m., Hermosillo's Blazer was spotted by a patrol officer driving past CHOC on Main Street. The officer stopped the Blazer and arrested Hermosillo. An empty child seat was found in the vehicle, Adams said.
Hermosillo was cooperative during questioning but showed no emotion, Adams said.
Hermosillo was booked on suspicion of attempted murder at Orange County Jail and is being held without bail. She is in the medical ward under psychological evaluation, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department. She is also on an immigration hold, he said.
Court records show Hermosillo pleaded guilty to four traffic violations in La Habra in 2008, including driving without a valid license and having no proof of insurance.
Susan Kang Schroeder, the district attorney's chief of staff, said prosecutors have not received the case from detectives.
Adams said they expect to present their case to prosecutors Wednesday.
Medina said his wife was taking medication for postpartum depression and went to her first therapy session Monday morning at Mariposa Women and Family Center in Orange.
Medina said his wife showed improvement in recent weeks and "began to trust her."
With tears in his eyes Medina said: "I want to know my son is going to be fine, and then I'll think about what to do next. I have to stay strong for my daughters."

Mailroom Update: Student Packages
Student Mail Update - January 2, 2006
Student addresses will be the same as those given out in the fall. Items mailed to campus should be addressed to:
Full Student Name # (box number given out in the fall)
Tulane University
31 McAlister Dr.
New Orleans, LA 70118
Marking packages on multiple sides with the box number speeds handling of the package. Please note the box number is NOT a student's dorm room number. The student's dorm room number or dorm name should not appear anywhere in the address.
A limited number of individuals will have their box number changed due to a reconfiguration of the mailboxes associated with the repair of the facility. Those individuals will either be notified by Jan. 3 of their new address or will be able to ship to the address given to them in the fall. Those using their old address will be assigned a new address after they arrive on campus.
Students may begin shipping packages to themselves after Jan. 1, 2006. Items which may be immediately needed upon arrival should not be shipped. The process to retrieve a package may take more than a single day, as items may have to be stored off-site. For any items that are shipped please make sure to retain and have accessible tracking numbers, date of shipment, and shipping method to aid in the package retrieval process.
If you have lost your assigned box number, were not scheduled to live in campus student housing in the fall, or have further questions please write email@example.com
Student Mail Update - December 19, 2005
Please be prepared for delays in mail and package services while mail and shipping companies are working to restore normal operations in the New Orleans region. Currently all operating services require two to four times longer than normal for delivery and services will continue to be impaired for the foreseeable future.
Until Dec. 19, the U.S. Postal Service was returning to the sender all student mail addressed to 31 McAlister Dr. Tulane is not currently accepting deliveries for students from any shippers such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
Students may begin shipping packages to themselves after Jan. 1, 2006. Students with special needs can request individualized assistance via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Items which may be immediately required by the student should not be shipped; please bring these items with you. To aid in the retrieval process, for all items that are shipped please make sure to have accessible the tracking numbers, date of shipment, and shipping method.
All FedEx and UPS packages received by Tulane prior to the storm that were accessible and undamaged have been returned to the sender. If your damaged items can be identified, you will be contacted individually. Please e-mail email@example.com with questions or for further information.
How can students contact Tulane University Mail Operations?
The best method to request assistance regarding mail services is to e-mail email@example.com. Please refer to the list of details below that should be included when making inquiries.
When can students submit mail forwarding forms to ensure they receive mail at their Tulane address?
Students who are receiving mail at other colleges should check with that school's mail department on how to complete their forwarding forms. Students receiving mail directly through the USPS should complete a forwarding form either on the USPS website or at a local post office. It is also advisable to change your address with all companies from whom you are expecting mail (i.e., credit card companies, banks, magazine subscriptions etc.). Each of these methods will require differing lengths of time to take effect; however, packages should not be sent to campus addresses prior to Jan. 1, 2006.
When will mail operations resume and when can students begin shipping to campus?
Resumption of mail operations is under way, but full service is dependent upon the completed reconstruction of the Bruff Commons mailroom. Some services will not be available until after the beginning of the spring term.
Students may begin shipping to themselves after Jan. 1, 2006. Students with special needs can request individualized assistance via e-mail to email@example.com. Items that may be immediately required by the student should be brought to campus and should not be shipped.
To whom should questions regarding missing packages be directed?
Any student missing a package shipped to 31 McAlister Drive prior to Aug. 27, and who has yet to receive the package back, should e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include the following information:
Student Name
Box Number
How the package was addressed
Address of the shipper
Method shipped (USPS, Fedex, UPS, DHL, etc.)
Tracking numbers for each package, if available
Description of each box or item (contents, size, weight)
Mailroom Update - October 7, 2005
Many Tulane students received packages sent to their student address just prior to Hurricane Katrina. Those packages which were not claimed and remained on campus through the storm are in the process of being checked for damage. We are now beginning to return these packages to the original sender.
The first phase will include items that were shipped via UPS and FedEx. Beginning Oct. 12 you should use the original tracking number(s) to check the status of your package(s) directly with UPS or Fed Ex.
We realize that this process may raise additional questions. You will find answers to some of your inquiries below. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
What if I don't have my tracking number?
You should contact the vendor with whom you shipped the package such as The UPS Store or Mail Boxes, Etc. If you purchased the items from a retailer who shipped them to Tulane, you should check directly with the retailer.
If my package was returned to a store or other vendor in the 'return to sender' process, what is my next step?
You should contact the retailer for a possible refund or a reshipment to an alternate address.
What if I do not receive my package?
If you have not received your package by Oct. 24, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with as many specifics on your package as possible such as the student's name, mail box number, tracking number, shipping vendor, date shipped and description of package.

I sit here and think back to the days sitting around the table playing cards with old friends. Friends who happened to be Vietnam vets...listening to them as they shared their story of what it was like to be in the trenches, what it was like to be set upon by the enemy. Never really knowing what to expect at any given moment, and sometimes never seeing it coming. I would sit for hours and listen with wonder as they defeated the odds that were stacked up against them during those times. Never knowing if and when you would ever go back home, ever see your loved ones, or ever be whole again. One of these men still had the shrapnel in his body, telling me to go ahead and run my hand back and forth across his arms. Feeling the needle like sharp teeth of that shrapnel still embedded, hopefully working its way out each day. His constantly reminder of what he lived thorough. His constant reminder of the badge he had earned.
Hearing their stories too, of how they were treated by those who did not agree with the war that they had been enlisted into. Not caring if they had been drafted without a consent or wish to be there or if they had signed up on their own. Did it really matter? I do not think so, as too many civilians just needed someone else to blame who were at their own level...the enlisted. A remembrance even to this day of how we as Americans get up in arms and want retaliation and then cry foul play when a war is among us. Has much really ever changed? One exception, we learned to honor those who are fighting the wars that our government enlist each of us into. For no matter whether we are here at home, or shipped off to the war zone...we are all in it together. Just as we were all those years ago. So shocking was the stories behind the lines that I believe as Americans we could not fathom what was coming at us, the news that we received all the propaganda. To not celebrate the safe return of our own men and woman is such a slap in the face for being where they never asked to be.
And here we are, remembering the vibrancy of the pictures these men shared of beautiful colors of the rainbow from the gun powder being wet as it shot out of cannons in the fields. Never knowing what to expect from one moment to the next. Not knowing at times that the exact place where you thought you were safe was now behind enemy lines. Washing your clothes the best way you can, standing there joking with your buddy and then seeing your buddy fall flat on his face with a bullet to his head. All things forgotten as you seize your gun and giving back as good as you were given. Grabbing your buddy and running knowing the weight on your back was nothing compared to what could have been. Never knowing what to expect from one moment to the next.
Hearing these men tell me what God meant to them after everything they lived and fought through, how God was more than their best friend. A friend that no church, pastor or minister could ever understand.
I sat there amazed still by their undying loyalty, love and patriotism to their flag and country that could not be shaken. Knowing that I would have felt the same way and then again, I would have felt the disappointment in my fellow country man or woman, my own government back then, as their reception, their home coming, their homes were far from warm and welcoming. A reception and homecoming not given the respect due to all they had fought for, all of what they endured and that they survived and lived through, all they had given up to be there, when the chips were thrown down. A life lost of their own hopes and dreams, growth and happiness, love and caring. A life that others decide for you each day for their own glory, but never their own physical pain.
No one really wants to admit what these men and women lived through, and I could share even more from those times. For everyone wants to forget, to not think about it as if they do, they will see how much of all that they have, in how much they really do owe to the men and women…our military's finest.
These are my memories of those times sitting in a little kitchen playing cards, laughing, absorbing the true stories of these men and sharing what the real world is like. Growing up fast in those days, with an appreciation of each individual who gave up so much and fought so hard for all of us to be here right now. On a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, calling a group of friends on the phone to get together... to go outside and play baseball... an American past time in a small corner of the yard, in a small corner of our world....with these living American Legends.
I think of them from time to time, thankful to all they had gifted me with on those hot summer days and cold winter nights. Thanking them for allowing me to know really what it was like to be a veteran of our armed forces. To hear it from their side and point of view, their raw and uncensored story. And then my heart sinks especially when I hear the politicians talk about war after war…greed after greed…power and more power... knowing that each day another young man or woman suits up to give to God and their country the best there is, giving up their own freedom, their own life for us to walk free.
Unfortunately to understand and know, where has our freedom really gone and why? Where has that one thing that sparks anger or honor in the hearts of Americans…their Freedom…really reside? For as I know I am free right now, I know that all of the men and woman who sacrificed so much to give to us that freedom have been compromised in the face of greed, money and power…to not to take away from them in this moment but to honor, validate and appreciate all that you are and Thank God as we say " United We Stand …One Nation Under God" is meant to bring us back home a life of freedom to be who we are, a life of freedom to say...I love our Veterans for all that they give to us not just today but each and every day. I Love being an American as I am free this day.
Remember them well this Memorial day unto God we trust that they are safe as we celebrate their life, liberty, freedom and honor.
Love, Laughter & Light, Adele Marie

Today is turning out to be a big one for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. By now thousands of eager Marvelites have had a chance to attend a 17-minute preview of the film, three weeks before it hits theaters. And James Gunn has hit Facebook to announce that he's wrapped up post production and is getting ready to start spreading the word about the space-faring adventure...
Gunn: "Well, other than finalizing the 3D, I'm officially wrapped on Guardians of the Galaxy and on my way to the airport to fly to Singapore to begin the press wing of this journey. I saw some amazing VFX shots today to wraps things up. I couldn't be feeling more gratitude and love for all the people who have helped create this film. However the audiences take it, there's not a single dishonest or impure bone in Guardians' cinematic body – and that's a hell of a thing for a spectacle film of this size with so many people involved. Best experience of my life. Thank you all."
Marvel is jumping into the marketing in another way, as well, by releasing a ton of new photos (some via Empire) and an extended trailer with plenty footage we've never seen. The photos give us a look at Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, and Lee Pace as villain Ronan the Accuser. We also get a glimpse at John C. Reilly and Glenn Close as members of the Nova Corps and Michael Rooker as Yondu.
Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1st.
SYNOPSIS: From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team – the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits – Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy's fate in the balance. Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

According to Cinema Blend on Thursday, a recent clip of Angelina Jolie in Disney's "Maleficent" made its debut. The character stops people cold including the royalty that gazes upon her as she crashes Princess Aurora's Christening. Jolie's facial expressions as she addresses her audience seem to be well placed considering such an awkward situation as she wasn't invited to the event. If some people are familiar with the "Sleeping Beauty" story, the consequences wind up being rather problematic. This time, the tale tells the story that delves into the Maleficent character.
The scene is rather similar to the Disney animated version of the movie as even the CGI created pixies Knotgrass, potrayed by Imelda Staunton, Lesley Manville as Flittle, and Thistlewit as played by Juno Temple. When upon finding out that King Stephan, played by Sharlto Copley, didn't invite her to the royal party, one can easily see her go from a pouty to an evil, yet enthralling white smile.
The costume design for Jolie's character was a duty taken on by London's costume designer, Anna B. Sheppard who has been known to work on such movie projects like "The Pianist" and "Schindler's List". The designer had to consider two different environments when designing the costume. One that involved the enchanted feel of a forest while the other of a more human world.
In the 1959 film, the animator that designed Maleficent was none other than Marc Davis. He was the originator of the horns, flowing robes, and high collars that gave the evil villain the iconic look that Jolie brings to life in the live-action film.
Chances are the raven that is perched upon her staff is Diaval, a shape-shifter who is her right-hand man and there will be three actors portraying the Aurora character. Dakota Fanning will play the mature Aurora while Jolie's daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt playing certain parts in addition to Eleanor Worthington Cox.
Disney's "Maleficent" opens in theaters on May 30.

the SRI SURYA DAS DHARMA FLAME TALISMAN
the SRI SURYA DAS DHARMA FLAME TALISMAN
The Sri Surya Das Dharma Flame Talisman
In 2005, my wife helped me decide to change careers. I had just interviewed for a medical director's job in Charlotte NC. Late that night after the interview, I heard a voice that awakened me from a deep sleep. The voice was clear, crisp, and very distinct. The words ring resoundingly in my mind every day of my life:
"You may continue to beat yourself against the wall of human suffering, or rise above it, and become a teacher of men."
Kathy and I talked about those words and the ramifications of leaving my thriving medical practice. We realized that The Creator had spoken his Word and that his Will was now evident in our lives. Five months later, we closed my medical practice, sold our home, and moved 2000 miles across country. We opened a spiritual center and began to practice a new kind of spiritual medicine. Within a couple of years, people all over the world found out about our work. Reports of miracles of many varieties began to pour in from hundreds of people. There were times that we thought about doing something different, but the miracles kept us going.
We learned that the Work that we had accepted was part of the Dharma. Many religions, including Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism, accept the concept of reincarnation, and what determines the state of an individual in the next existence is karma which refers to the actions undertaken by the body and the mind.
In order to achieve good karma it is important to live life according to dharma, choices and behaviors which lead to the light. This involves doing what is right for the individual, the family, the planet and also for the universe itself. Dharma is like a cosmic current of energy and if one goes against the current, it can result in bad karma. Dharma affects the future according to the karma accumulated. Therefore one's dharmic path in the next life is the one necessary to bring to fruition all the results of past karma.
Some time ago, a good friend of mine, Dr. Pillal gave me a title in the service of the Dharma. That title refers to my devotion to the service of the Creator and my devotion to the Sun. That title is "Sri Surya Das". For the past four years, only a few of my closest followers have been aware of this title.
The Sri Surya Das Dharma Flame Talisman allows our followers to connect with the Dharma Flame that my wife and I have devoted our lives to. The amulet is imbued with the power of the dharma, and enables the user to connect with the Light that we have devoted our lives to. In the amulet, you see me holding an empty cup. This signifies my devotion to seeking Light and enlightenment with an open and enquiring mind. My clothing is that of an Initiate. I stand with the Power of the Dharma Flame in all things, and this fact is reflected in the flame of the amulet.
The Sri Surya Das Dharma Flame Talisman is accompanied by the Guru Mantra which I have been given in a vision by the Creator. A Guru Mantra is a Name of God, mantra, number, or a word given by a Teacher/Guru to His disciples/followers for the purpose of his/her spiritual growth toward attaining God-realization. In most cases, a Guru Mantra contains a particular Name of God specific to the Dharma path chosen by the Teacher. God-realization is the highest spiritual experience that a person can have. It occurs when he/she realizes continuous oneness with the Supreme Principle of The Creator and the bliss that accompanies this state.
Placing the Talisman on your altar or in your home helps you connect with the new Dharma Flame Path created by the lives and works of my wife and I. This dharmic energy will help you:
Increase the energy of the dharma in your life
Allow closer connection in meditation and prayer
Connects the user with the power of miracle that we serve
Enhances and deepens your connection with the Creator
Allows for stronger and more powerful prayers
Proceeds from the sale of this Talisman will help us build a larger spiritual center and provide a wider variety of services for our followers. We thank you for your support.

Luckily, Jon Hamm arrived on set to help defend him… until the actor turned on Stewart as well.
It's pretty hilarious.
