Walmart, Flushmate, Dreamfields class action settlements could mean money for you
$100 Walmart gift cards and exploding toilets?
They are both part of class action lawsuits and can mean money for you.
Let's start with something you would never think about as you go through the ... uh.. business of your day.
"There was a defect in the toilets themselves that could cause the toilets to literally explode," says Scott Hardy with www.topclassactions.com.
That's the allegation involving Flushmate flushing systems installed in American Standard, Koehler and other popular toilets.
Hardy says there have been reports of injuries and damage.
You can get at least $50 if you file a claim soon. The deadline is August 24th.
Read more about the Flushmate class action settlement.
How about a pasta advertised as being low carb and easier to digest?
Well it turns out that their pasta isn't as easy to digest as they advertise.
That's the allegation anyway says Hardy.
Dreamfields pasta settled a class action suit and that can mean nearly 2 bucks back for each box you bought in the last 10 years.
Read more about the Dreamfields class action settlement.
But you can make much more money if you received an unsolicited text about a $100 Walmart gift card.
Hardy says "claimants could receive $155 per person." So, it's a significant amount just for submitting your claim online.
The texts led you to Stonebridge Life Insurance and Trifecta Marketing.
You must have received the texts during a short time in 2010.
Read more about the Stonebridge class action settlement.
None of the businesses admit any wrong doing.
The claim deadlines are soon.

text: Space missions would be required to some extent to tackle the alien threat in orbit (massive). Mostly it would consist of attacking alien orbital platforms so it wouldn't diverge too much from original game-play style. Jetpacks in space could be possible for crossing gaps in stations. Again not all that hard to do I would think.

Shriveling Tomato
No doubt, the end is near. With fall weather in full swing, my tomato is running OUT of time. Just look at it. Gone is the lush vibrancy. Now it's slowly dying.
With MANY green tomatoes hanging on for dear life, I hope it can stick around just a LITTLE bit longer.

The Spirit War (edition 2012)
by Rachel Aaron
Work details
The Spirit War by Rachel Aaron
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The fourth book in the series on Eli Monpress, the greatest thief in the world and his companions Josef (the greatest swordsman ) and Nico (a human being consumed by a demonseed, but still hanging on).
This is a great series where things are really starting to come together. We learn more about the background of Josef (not the simple fighter he's always appeared to be) and also more about what drives Eli.
The great enemy of the story is Nara, an Empress who was repelled by the nations twenty odd years ago and who now returns to her conquest with overwhelming odds in her favour.
The battle is fast-paced and desperate and the ending is quite dreadful for one of the characters.
What happens when the caper gets serious?
This is book #4 in the series, and darker than the earlier ones, though just as compelling. Much more is revealed about the world and how it works, which I appreciated. All of the characters are facing their "demons"- sometimes literally- and need to re-think their positions and values.
While this book's arc does resolve in the book, it also develops a lot of the overall arc of the series, and those questions are left hanging. Not a flaw, as long as they're resolved in #5! (And I admit I just started #5, even though usually I take a break between books in a series.)
I think the series thus far has been very well-paced, even though it is getting darker as it progresses. Mostly one cannot stay devil-may-care throughout one's life; things happen, and one needs to get serious, both because of internal pressures and because of outside events. I like the way that's going in this series.
I will say, though, that this is not the place to start! There's a certain amount of backstory included, but it's minimal, and without reading the earlier volumes I doubt it'll make much sense.
But if you have read the earlier ones- or are looking for a new fantasy series that ranges from light-hearted to intense- this is a good choice.
I love this series, Eli is a great character, he's so full of himself and often in a justified way. This time he's caught in a war that involves his friend Josef. It turns out that Josef is prince of a small state, whose mother is dying and who is summoned home by means of a bounty offer that tops the best Eli has ever managed to get to.
Josef and Eli have to contend with politics, a wife for Josef and Eli's past. To add to it all most of the reason Josef's country is being attacked is Eli, he's also reliant on Eli to survive, both using his wits and his powers.
Some of the mess may be Eli's responsibility and it's interesting to see how this world works and to see some glimmers of why it's not all his fault, at least this time. This brings into sharp focus some of the background stuff that's been hinted at in earlier books and hints at even murkier politics than the simple human stuff.
I really want to read the next one too, and want to get people to read it more.
Since I originally thought the Eli Monpress series was just a trilogy, I was delighted to discover more books in this series. The central characters return, with many of their unresolved problems. Miranda still can't catch Eli Monpress, Josef wants to be the greatest swordsman without using his famous awakened blade, Nico has a better handle on her demonseed but it still taunts her, and Eli remains his charming self while harboring deep secrets about his power. This installment reveals more about Josef's past and puts Eli and his friends in the dangerous path of the Immortal Empress as she invades the Council Kingdoms. A great read and a great series that is always fun!
The Spirit War is the fourth installment in Rachel Aaron's Legend of Eli Monpress, a series that started out as a light and fluffy read but has grown continuously darker as it progresses. This most recent novel continues that trend, and also is considerably more epic than any of the first three volumes – our heroes are all over place in this one, momentous events are afoot, and – the title holding what it promises – there is a war going on (even though the actual fighting, once it happens, seems to bear a greater resemblance to computer game boss fights than to actual military encounters). After novels that were centered on Eli and Nico, this time it is Josef's turn, and we learn about his background and how he became what he is, and The Spirit War tells (among other things) of how he manages to come to some sort of peace with his past. We also find out a lot more about the wider world the series' events are set in, and we finally get a cliffhanger that, even though it was clear that this would have to come to pass eventually, is none the less evil for that. Rachel Aaron seems like such a nice person in interviews and on her blog, I really would not have thought her capable of being so mean to leave her readers with that ending… At least Spirit's End, the final volume in the series, will be out soon, and I for one am counting the days until then.
The Legend of Eli Monpress may not be the most original fantasy series in recent years (it is fairly conventional, but still manages to breathe new life into tired tropes) or the deepest and edgiest (even as things grow darker with each volume, this is still light reading and does not attempt to be anything else) but for me it consistently has been the one that was the most sheer, unabashed fun to read, that had me alternately chuckling with glee or gnawing my lower lip in excitement. It brought back something (a lot actually) of what I felt when I first started out reading Fantasy as a teenager, the spirit of colourful adventure and wide-eyed wonder that got me hooked on the genre, and that is so very hard to recapture as one grows older. Rachel Aaron does this admirably and without apparent effort, and I love the series for that.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316198382, Paperback)Eli Monpress is vain. He's cocky. And he's a thief.
But he's a thief who has just seen his bounty topped and he's not happy about it. The bounty topper, as it turns out, is his best friend, bodyguard, and master swordsman, Josef. Who has been keeping secrets from Eli. Apparently, he's the only prince of a rather feisty country and his mother (a formidable queen who's every bit as driven and stubborn as he is) wants him to come home and do his duty, which means throwing over personal ambitions like proving he's the greatest swordsman who ever lived.
Family drama aside, Eli and Josef have their hands full. The Spirit Court has been usurped by the Council of Thrones and someone calling herself the Immortal Empress is staging a massive invasion. But it's not just politics --- the Immortal Empress has a specific target in mind: Eli Monpress, the greatest thief in the world.

Fresh Men's Skin Soother After Shave
Guys who never think twice about skin care.
For guys who do little more than brush their teeth, this moisturizer is the only item that's a must-add to a low-maintenance M.O. It hydrates, balances and revitalizes the skin, and can also double as a razor-relieving aftershave balm. All it takes is a pump or two in the palm post-shower as well as a little rubbing on the face and neck area to do the job right. Frankly, if that's too much to ask, it's time to reassess life.

An Introduction to Ayurveda
by Ann Harrison
Ayurveda is a biological and spiritual science which offers a practical knowledge of self-healing and includes: yoga philosophy, and integration of the body, mind and consciousness. Ayurveda, a Sanskrit word meaning "the science of life," or "our daily living," originated from a holistic system of medicine continually practiced in India as an ancient art of healing for more than 5,000 years. Interest in Ayurveda expanded in the West in the 1970s, around the same time as Chinese medicine gained recognition.
Ayurveda is a spiritual science outlined in the Charak Samhita written around 1500 B.C. It stated that even if the Ayurvedic doctors had a complete knowledge of Ayurveda but could not reach the inner Self or soul of the patient, they would not be effective healers. Furthermore if the practitioners were more concerned with fame and fortune, and not with spiritual development, they would not be effective healers.
As recorded in the sacred Vedic texts, Ayurveda evolved from the practical, philosophical and religious illumination of rishis, ancient realized beings, based on their understanding of creation. The rishis were the mystical doctors or seers. They knew the inner workings of the human body without the use of modern x-ray machines and CT scans. It is astonishing how these ancient descriptions are validated by today's technologies.
Ayurvedic philosophy recognizes the inherent relationship between an individual and cosmic spirit, energy and matter. This philosophy of creation begins with the source of all existence, the eternal, Divine, unmanifest existence: ever present. This Cosmic Consciousness manifests as the male and female energies of Shiva and Shakti, and the five elements. Man is seen to be a microcosm of the world around him; all of existence are cosmic manifestations and indivisible. There is much relationship here to the Chinese concepts of Dao and Tai Chi, Yin and Yang.
Ayurvedic philosophy charts the development of life as a progression from the divine, incorporating progressively denser forms of energy until full manifestation. As creation developed, it formed the underlying principles that uphold all life; creation, maintenance, and dissolution. These principles are respectfully known as sattva, rajas, and tamas and are called the three gunas, or tendencies. All of life, human and celestial, obey these laws. The creation principle developed five essential elements—Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
The concept of the 5 elements, charting this progression, begins with Space, or Ether. As this element began to move it created Air, whose movements created friction and thus the heat of Fire; some ethereal elements were liquefied by this Fire, creating Water, which then solidified into Earth. It is said in the Vedas that all of the creation, including humans, are made up of combination of all five essential elements. These elements have sites in the body called doshas.
Each person is looked at as a unique individual. To balance the doshas, daily living practices that involve following a doshic soothing life-style with proper choice of foods and exercises, body and breath awareness, balanced work and rest, and seasonal cleansing may be recommended to correct imbalances and restore the innate intelligence and harmony of the person. Suggestions may include yoga, meditation, diet for your constitution, natural care for your body (including massage, oils, herbs and holistic products), as well as education about your dosha, the stages of your life, and most importantly connecting to the Divinity within yourself.
To understand the beauty of Ayurveda, we must study the Vedic roots of philosophy, spirituality, and universal religion. According to the Vedas there is a goal to life; we are not born just to live and die without some meaning and purpose. As recorded in the Vedic Scriptures, life is Divine and the goal is to realize our inner Divine nature. "Ayurvedically speaking, the more a person realizes their Divine nature, the healthier they are" said Swami Sada Shiva Tirtha.
Ayurveda's view of true health is based on the healthy functioning of four areas of life: physical/mental health, career or life purpose, spiritual relationships, and spiritual development.
When we have good physical and mental health, we are able to have a rewarding profession using our innate God-given talents to work at something we really love doing. This in turn gives us our ability to have a good social life and use this love to cultivate spirituality. Spiritual life centers one's focus inwardly to discover their eternal nature instead of the ever-changing outer realm of life. For healthy relationships to thrive all people must continue to develop their individual inner spiritual lives. Then they are able to shine and share their light and growing spiritual fullness with their spouse and others.
The General Ayurvedic approach is threefold
1) Determine one's prakriti (dosha) predominance of the elements: vata, pitta, kapha
2) Discover the elemental cause of illness, the imbalance called vikriti
3) Apply therapeutic remedies to balance the elements causing the illness, without causing an imbalance to the doshas (constitution).
In the Ayurvedic approach, there is no healing crisis. "The unique personalized approach makes healing effective as well as gentle. Other holistic approaches may work yet still aggravate the person's doshas. Ayurveda is the only healing science that needn't warn people that they may feel worse while the disease or toxins are being removed before they will feel better. Because of its balancing approach gentleness marks the entire healing process."(Swami Sada Shiva Tirtha)
Ayurveda is not a quick fix, it takes time, patience and a willingness to adequately educate ourselves to take control of our own health. As stated before, this is achieved by diligent monitoring and balancing of one's nutritional and life-style habits, and developing an inner quest to understand of our true nature.
The ayurvedic approach to healing will be further discussed in the next article.
Who is Rajarshi Raghabananda?
by Yogi Sarveshwarananda and Yogacharya Don Baba
This September 19th, thousands of kriyavans around the world quietly celebrated in their heart the 74th birthday of Rajarshi Raghabananda, the most advanced disciple of Baba Hariharanandaji. As you can see in the accompanying photos, he is still a very young, fresh and vigorous Baba, and we pray to God that he remain with us and guide us with his deepest knowledge of Kriya and gentle love for many more years to come!
Affectionately called "The little Lahiri Mahashaya" by his disciples, Dr. Raghabananda Nayak is the only disciple of Paramahamsa Hariharananda to have ever attained the nirvikalpa samadhi state—and on the very day of his initiation on Monday, February 15, 1965, on the auspicious day of Agni Purnima—a state of God-realization he has been striving to permanently merge into ever since.
In the 1970s the Menninger Foundation of Topeka, Kansas, conducted a series of scientific experiments with him, studying among other things his alpha waves in the state of meditation. Highly impressed by their observations, they nicknamed him "the prince of peace." The results were later presented in a scientific documentary, "Yoga for the West," as well as in the best-selling book Beyond Biofeedback by Dr. Elmer and Alice Green, the internationally-known eminent psychologists.
Under the guidance of Paramahamsa Hariharananda, Raghabananda completed all the higher kriyas at the Karar Ashram, Puri, and was empowered as an accomplished acharya in 1974. Since then he has been devotedly working on his divine assignment by guiding and initiating spiritually-inclined people, writing numerous books on Kriya Yoga, and training acharyas of the Kriya Yoga order.
In 1992 his beloved guru conferred on him the title of Rajarshi, "Royal Sage", the highest honor conferred to householder disciples.
Baba Hariharananda established him as the head of the "Hariharananda Kriya Yoga Mission – Sambalpur" ashram in the year 1992. This ashram is one of the very rare ones in India headed by a householder. In appointing Raghabananda to lead this ashram, Baba has shown that Kriya Yoga is the path most suited for householders; anyone can be a karma sannyasi, performing his worldly duties as an offering to God, in a detached and blissful way.
Rajarshi Raghabananda is now the president of the "Hariharananda Kriya Yoga Mission – Banabira" ashram in Orissa, India. As an advanced Kriya Yoga master, his only objective is to inspire all—irrespective of class, creed, color, race, ethnicity, religion, faith, sect, social status, education level—to meditate properly with love and receive the blessings of God and gurus to remain in peace, bliss and joy and enjoy a meaningful life.
Both Yogacharya Don Baba and myself have had the good fortune to go and meditate over the last few years with our dearest Raghabanandaji.
Here is what Don Baba says about Rajarshiji (or Brahmarshiji, as he is also known today):
Brahmarshi Raghabananda is one of the most advanced living disciple's of Gurudev Hariharananda alive today. No one else has spent as much time with Gurudev Hariharananda while Gurudev was in the state of nirvikalpa samadhi.
Brahmarshi has been quietly instrumental in helping Gurudev spread the message of Kriya Yoga from the very beginning. Brahmarshi also helped Gurudev write and publish the original Kriya Yoga book, as well as several others. He has a detailed knowledge of all the higher kriya techniques as taught by Gurudev Hariharananda and continues to guide, teach and initiate true seekers into the path of Kriya Yoga as directed by Gurudev Hariharananda.
Personally I have experienced the same calm divine sweetness and sincere heartfelt intimate association with Brahmarshi, as I experienced with Gurudev Hariharananda. It is a rare opportunity to sit with this type of master who is inwardly free and roaming in the high heaven, humbly, sweetly divinely. In addition his detailed knowledge of the Kriya Yoga techniques as helped removed any confusion and has helped clarified exactly what is "The Essence of Kriya Yoga". He lives a very humble, pious, pure life, true to vision of Mahashaya Lahiri Baba and Gurudev Hariharananda. It is a truly a great blessing to sit with this type of Yoga master.
With deepest love and regard I bow to Brahmarshi Raghabananda in honor of his 74th birthday and pray for his long life and continued development in spreading the message of Kriya Yoga.
At the feet of the guru, blessings,
Don Baba - New York City, September 16, 2012
Where Kriya Ends
by Rajarshi Raghabananda
Kriya Yoga cannot reveal the Self, because breathing comes from the power of God—and the power cannot reveal its Creator. What Kriya gives is silence, calmness, out of which Real knowledge can emerge.
In the old days, Lahiri Mahashaya's disciples used to write to him about their spiritual practice. "Baba today I have practiced 1,000 kriyas." Or "Today I completed 2,000 kriyas." Lahiri Baba would simply reply, "Good." Meaning, alright, at least they are getting some concentration of the mind. But they are still not practicing Kriya Yoga.
Kriya Yoga can never involve any effort to control the mind, tame the senses, or transcend maya. It cannot even be said to be the practice of surrender, because who will surrender to whom? If you say you want to surrender to God, you are still thinking in the mode of duality—you are putting yourself on one side, and God on the other, and you are making an effort to surrender to that projection of "God" outside of yourself.
So what is Kriya Yoga truly? Only constant awareness. You are always in peace in the top of the head, no matter what problems or difficulties of life you will encounter.
In the Patañjali Yoga Sutras, the path and methodology of yoga is described as an 8-step process known as ashtanga yoga: 1. Yama (self observances); 2. Niyama (social observances); 3. Asana (postures); 4. Pranayama (life-force control); 5. Pratyahara (sense withdrawal); 6. Dharana (concentration); 7. Dhyana (meditation); and 8. Samadhi (super-cosmic bliss).
In reality, various degrees of samadhi known as savikalpa samadhi (in which the seeker retains a seed of individuality) are already achieved at the levels of dharana and dhyana, because the mind is starting to experience some calmness and concentration. However the supreme state of liberation known as nirvikalpa samadhi is only achieved at the eighth and final level, samadhi.
When pratyahara (sense-withdrawal) becomes constant, it becomes dharana—concentration on the divine light, sound and vibration. When dharana becomes constant, it becomes dhyana (meditation). Kriya is only trying, and practicing, and waiting calmly. It always helps you.
Kriya Yoga stops at the level of dhyana. In samadhi, there cannot be any technique. There is no sound, no light, no vibration. There is no consciousness of the world or of the body. There is only Supreme Bliss.
It is extremely rare and even dangerous to live at this level of supreme consciousness while remaining in the world. For instance Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the supreme realized sage of the 16th century, could not even eat, as he was not conscious that he had a body. His disciples had to feed him. And he would frequently go into the ocean in Puri and be found in the fishermen's nets completely unconscious, as he was perceiving God in everything and was always immersed in Him, beyond forms.
My Gurudev Baba Hariharananda was often referred as "the second Gauranga" [Gauranga being another name for Chaitanya Mahaprabhu] as he could enter into the nirvikalpa samadhi state at will. However he was still able to function perfectly well in this world. He was the rarest of the rarest masters.
Thank you very much. I bow to you all.
With love and affection,

How the Little Boy Conquered Anger
by Yogi Sarveshwarananda
Sit calmly in the fontanel, and enjoy this story. It is about teaching children how to control their anger.
Mother Mirra, also known as the Sweet Mother of the Aurobindo Ashram, grew up in France, where she had many mystical experiences. She later met Sri Aurobindo, and together they guided countless souls to the Ultimate Truth.
In her younger days, she lived in a small town in the north of France. One of her neighbors was a young boy who was extremely boisterous and afflicted with a very bad temper, always engaging in fights at school.
Sweet Mother sat down with him one day and asked him, "Which do you think is more difficult for a brave boy like you, to let your fist fly in the face of a friend who insults you, or at that moment to keep your fist in your pocket?"
The young boy replied, "To keep it in my pocket, for sure!"
Mother continued, "And which do you think is more worthy of a courageous boy like you, to do the easier or the more difficult thing?"
The young boy kept quiet for a moment. Finally, he said, almost reluctantly, "The more difficult thing, I guess."
And the Sweet Mother naturally concluded, "Well then, maybe you could try to do it the next time you get an opportunity."
Sometime later, the young boy came, all excited, to tell her that he had been able to do "the more difficult thing." He explained that one of his classmates had struck him in a moment of anger. Since that classmate knew that the boy always welcomed an opportunity to fight, he quickly stepped back and prepared to defend himself.
"But then I remembered what you had told me," said the boy, "and I concentrated on keeping my hand in my pocket and unclenching my fist. I must tell you, that was a lot harder than I thought! But as soon as I managed to do that, I felt the anger leaving me. I only felt sorry for my friend. So I took my hand out of my pocket and extended it to him. You should have seen the look on his face! He just stood there for the longest time, open-mouthed, speechless... Finally he shook my hand vigorously and said with great passion, 'Now you and I are friends forever. You can ask anything of me.'"
The boy had learned how to control his anger. How did Sweet Mother help him? Not by preaching to him, or shaming him, or punishing him. Simply by appealing to the noblest nature of the boy—his courage and sense of righteousness.
Only respect and love will enable people to change, automatically. Always believe in people's highest potential, instead of dwelling only on their faults.
Metaphorical Interpretation of Scriptures
Metaphorical study of the Bhagavad Gita with Paramahamsa Hariharananda's interpretation in the light of Kriya Yoga.
Chapter 1, Verse 26.
Tatrā 'paśyat sthitān pārthaḥ
pitṝn atha pitāmahān
ācāryān mātulān bhrātṝn
putrān pautrān sakhīms tathā
Standing there, Arjuna scrutinized the armies of both parties and observed his paternal uncles, granduncles, preceptors, maternal uncles, brothers, cousins, grandfather, sons, grandsons, and friends.
Metaphorical Interpretation
This verse describes Arjuna's perception of the Kauravas and his own army on the battlefield of life, represented as relatives.
Our thoughts, ambitions, and passions are related to our bodies. They always cause us to direct our awareness outward, which prevents intellectual and spiritual development. When we teach children, we try to withdraw their minds from tempting things so they can sit for their education and spiritual training. We do not like to forbid relationships among the students, but their minds always wander off to their affectionate relatives and intimates. When a student is educated, however, he can read novels, histories, or amusing books.
Similarly, in the beginning of God-realization, students require guidance from a teacher such as Krishna in order to successfully control their senses. A spiritual person seeking Self-realization need not avoid his relatives, shun his family life, or leave his service; instead, for spiritual study, as with secular education, the seeker should follow a good teacher who will help him introvert his mind, rather than allowing his mind to constantly remain in the extroverted state.
Peace Concert "24-0"
On October 2 (Mahatma Gandhi's birthday and the World Peace Day), I had the great joy and honor to join 59 other bands to perform at the "24-0" Peace Concert organized by my friend Cesar Lopez in Plaza Bolivar, Bogota—"24-0" meaning that we were aiming for 0 violent deaths during 24 hours in Colombia (one of the most violent countries on earth). 60 bands represented every possible genre of music, from classical to hip-hop to blues, to rock to rap to mantras… all united in the same spirit, of proclaiming that violence is never the answer to any problem, and that we have to learn to work out our conflicts in a peaceful manner.
And the event had a measurable success! The "Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses" reported that during these 24 hours there was 50% decline in violent deaths in Bogota, and 75% in the rest of the country! Other "24-0" concerts were held simultaneously in several cities across Colombia, as well as in Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Guatemala.
You can watch my particular concert with Cesar Lopez (on bass and escopetarra) and Juan Carlos Arevalo Caguasango (on charango and Chinese flute) here.
You can also check out this photo gallery from the "El Tiempo" newspaper.

It will take place at the beginning of October, the most desirable time in the Himalayas, after the end of the monsoon season when everything is fresh and green, and before the winter cold sets in. The retreat center is situated on the banks of the Holy Ganga in Uttarkashi, surrounded by the scenic beauty of the foothills of the Himalayas.
This Kriya Yoga intensive retreat is only for people initiated in Kriya Yoga or who are willing to receive initiation at the beginning of the retreat.
Arrival and Departure
Participants of the retreat should plan to arrive at our meeting point at the Haridwar station by the morning of Sunday September 29th. After breakfast at our Matri Chhaya Gurukulam orphanage, the group will proceed by bus to Uttarkashi on the same day.
The group will leave Uttarkashi on Saturday October 5 after breakfast to return to Haridwar in the afternoon. After an early farewell dinner, participants will be free to return home or prolong their stay in India.
Cost and Registration
The total cost of the Kriya Yoga Camp will include transportation from Haridwar to Uttarkashi and back, all meals, accommodation, and teachings. The cost is still being calculated and will be announced in a future issue of "Rise and Shine!"
Please note that there are only 15 places open for this exceptional retreat, which can only by secured by people sending a non-refundable 25% deposit by the due date. Please write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Before the Camp…
For those who wish it, there will be opportunities to meet with Yogiji in his earlier travels in Orissa: in Puri (September 9 and 10), and in Sambalpur (September 10 to 20) to meditate with the great master of Kriya Yoga, Rajarshi Raghabananda. Transportation and accommodation arrangements will be the kriyavans' responsibility.

One-on-One with the Acharyas
From a taped interview with Paramahamsa Hariharananda.
Can a person who practices other techniques also practice Kriya Yoga?
If you are satisfied with your techniques and from them you are getting peace, bliss, joy and divinity within, then ask your conscience. Once you have gotten an answer, remain calm.
Many roads take you to Delhi. In the same way, many take you to God. But follow only one to the end.
If you go to a doctor and take the medicine he prescribes to you, and then decide to go to another doctor and take his as well as the other's medicine, instead of health you will find death. If you go to a third doctor you will find death even faster. When you cross a river, if you put a foot in one boat and the other foot on the other boat you will drown for sure.
Observe the bee. If it does not find honey in one flower, it will fly to another flower. If you taste an apple and it is bad, you will not eat it, but you will have had to taste it in order to know that it is bad.
If you have found peace and love, and you are receiving divinity from it, and have found a true guru, follow him step by step and be generous in your surrender to him.

Remember our little ones…
Most importantly, you can help support our Network of Love charitable projects by sending a one-time or regular little donation.
Our charitable causes include:
- building and running an orphanage in Haridwar, India,
- building and supporting free schools for poor children in the Himalayas
- managing training centers for abandoned widows in Haridwar and Champawat, India.
- running programs for street children and adolescents at social risk in Latin America.
- feeding children of endangered tribes in Latin America.
Most of the revenues of our sales and Kriya programs go to support these projects. However since these resources are not enough, we have been relying on individual donations to sustain them.
Due to the current economic crisis, individual donations have almost come to a standstill this year, and we have been forced to significantly reduce our support for these projects.
I am therefore appealing to your loving generosity to please contribute something to help these children and widows get out of their poverty cycle and embrace a brighter future.
Here are three videos highlighting how we put our love into action.

- [unnamed song–potentially "Roomful of People"]
- The Ballad of Salty Dog
- Undertow
Two Sheds – Undertow (Live at KZSU) (mp3, exclusive)

Seven years ago today, I was in rehab, on about six different medications to try to keep me alive but sedated so I wouldn't have seizures. Because roughly 10% of alcoholics who stop drinking cold turkey are killed by brain seizures.
I was ashamed and terrified but determined to try to live.
I met my demon that first night, and we ave grown so much since then.
I had a dream about a tattoo of that date. My counselor told me it was a bad idea. "First-timers relapse within the first year at the rate of over 75%. You don't want that reminder when it is important to you to continue to focus on your recovery."
Well of course that only made me more determined and I said "I will not relapse. But if I DO and I somehow survive that I'll go back, get an X through this date and get the next one below it. And the next. As many as it takes."
But I like this one just fine.
Today is seven years later and the shock of abundance & joy in my life grows daily.
Thank you to the friends who stuck around…and the ones who did not.
Thank you to my owner, for showing me the miracles are still happening.

Here is the blaring headline in the MSM:
New home sales hit five-and-a-half year high in January
The Wall Street shysters and CNBC bimbos are ecstatic. Of course, maybe we should examine the facts within the Census Bureau report:
- There were 34,000 new homes sold in the entire country in January. There are 75 million homes in the country.
- Of these 34,000 new homes "sold" in January, 10,000 were actually built. A contract can be cancelled for a nominal penalty amount. When housing went south for Toll Brothers, the cancellation rate exceeded 30%.
- There were 32,000 new homes sold last January.
- The median price has fallen by 7% since April.
- New home sales are pacing 70% below 2005 levels, 40% below levels in the mid-1980's when mortgage rates were 12%, and 25% below levels in the mid-1960s.
- Mortgage purchase applications fell last week to the lowest level since 1995. Do mortgage applications fall to a 19 year low if housing is going gangbusters?
The MSM is spinning a yarn to keep the ignorant masses sedated. Do these charts reflect a strong recovering housing market? Housing has begun its 2nd collapse in the last 8 years.

Professor of History, Dean of Critical Social Inquiry
Her teaching interests focus on the social and cultural history of Early Modern Europe, with a special emphasis on Renaissance Visual Culture, Body History, Catholicism, and Comparative Legal Studies of the Mediterranean.
Her most recent research centers on lactation imagery in Renaissance and Baroque art. She published a book entitled Convents and the Body Politic in Late Renaissance Venice (University of Chicago Press, 1999), two edited volumes entitled Across the Religious Divide: Women, Property, and Law in the Wider Mediterranean, with Shona Kelly Wray (Routledge, 2009) and Medieval and Renaissance Lactations: Images, Rhetorics, Practices (Ashgate, 2013), as well as articles on allegories of Charity, queer lactation imagery, the history of marriage and Portuguese women's property rights in the Renaissance.
Ever since Leonardo da Vinci produced his anatomical drawings and German artists studied corpses of executed prisoners, the visual arts and the medical sciences converged. While artists strove for the anatomically "correct" representation of eroticized male and female nudes, scientists enhanced the truth-value of their anatomical drawings by employing the new classicizing style. Also in religious art, spiritual truths were conveyed in a sensuous, erotic manner, as the many depictions of semi-nude saints, Christ, and the Virgin Mary demonstrate. In addition to viewing Renaissance and Baroque artworks, we will read recent historical scholarship and primary literature on the discovery of the clitoris and the emergence of lesbian desire; anatomical representations of gender difference; the debates surrounding wet-nursing and virginal lactations; male menstruation; homoeroticism in Renaissance portraits; race and the ethnographic portraits of Albert Eckhout. Mix of shorter papers on the reading assignment plus an independent research paper. Fieldtrip to the Met depending on availability of funds.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks has been filming the show for a couple of years now and she has shared some aspects of her life. Recently, she has been keeping a low profile because she has been making headlines about her husband's supposed fraud charges. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Feb. 26, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks is now revealing that she wants to get paid like a movie star to film the show.
Of course, NeNe Leakes reportedly got $1 million for filming this previous season, but given all the legal issues that she is going through, it appears that she wants more money to keep sharing her story on the show. She has revealed that some aspects of the show are scripted, which means that she thinks that she should get paid like one.
"We're not members of SAG so it's not like we're getting benefits from replays," Phaedra pointed out. "We're talents that aren't being considered as actors, so they're getting talent for a nominal fee. They've found a way to make money and cut the cost on studios and productions so they're making the largest profit with the least amount of residual."
Phaedra believes that she doesn't get much more money compared to how much the show actually makes. Do you think she should get paid like a real actress?

Nov. 18, 2005
by Brian Beaky
There are those who say that to recapture its winning ways, Washington's players must work harder than ever before, must place the good of the team ahead of any personal successes, and must recapture the emotion of what it truly means to be a Washington Husky. If those are the qualities to which all Huskies should strive, they need look no further than the 10 senior walkons who will run onto the field Saturday for the final time.
Ryan Campbell, John Gardenhire, Steve Horan, Brandon Leyritz, Michael Russell, Carlos Serrano, Matt Smith, Brian Tawney, Ben Warren, and J.R. Wolfork -- all have given their hearts and souls to the University of Washington without the promise of anything in return. Most will leave UW without ever having stepped onto the field in a real game.
Two are thankful just to be able to make that step at all.
Diagnosed with type-1 diabetes as a child, Brian Tawney was only marginally active in team sports, participating in two years of little league football and one year of football in eighth grade. After high school, it was the U.S. Navy to which Tawney dedicated himself, demonstrating the selflessness and commitment to a cause that would one day lead him to success at UW.
In the fall of 2000, after four years in the Navy, Tawney chanced upon a UW football practice while visiting his sister, Traci, then an outfielder on the Huskies' softball team.
"I remember thinking, `Shoot, I could play with those guys,'" Tawney says of the team that would go on to finish No. 3 in the nation.
Tawney held on to that thought through his final two years of service, years in which the world changed, sending Tawney and his shipmates into the line of fire in the Indian Ocean, supporting U.S. bombing runs in Afghanistan.
Finally in 2002 -- six years after graduating from high school -- Tawney showed up for UW's fall practice, despite only limited football experience. The 24-year-old freshman with no experience who "literally no one had ever heard of," Tawney says, slowly moved up the depth chart, having to work twice as hard as the scholarship players ahead of him just to be given the same opportunities to succeed. Finally, in 2004, Tawney earned a chance to play on special teams. It's a privilege few walkons ever receive.
"Most of the walkons don't come to UW to play; they come because they want to be Huskies," he says. "The walkons and the scholarship guys; we're just one big team, and that's special to be a part of."
Tawney is thankful for his chance; fellow senior Steve Horan is simply thankful to have two legs to stand on.
Horan's doctors botched a surgery to repair torn ligaments in his knee in 1999, causing a bone infection that left the high-school senior in excruciating pain.
"My lower tibia starting tearing itself apart; they told me that it was one of the most serious leg infections you could have, and that if it spread, they'd have to amputate my leg and any other areas that the infection had spread to," he recalls. "There were days that I couldn't walk. The pain was awful."
Amazingly, Horan played through the pain during his senior season at Puyallup (Wash.) High School in 2000, starting at outside linebacker on the football team and wrestling at 145 pounds.
By March, though, the infection had begun to drain out of his leg. Doctors put an intravenous tube in Horan's arm which connected to a fanny pack that provided a constant flow of infection-fighting drugs into Horan's system. Unable to remove the fanny pack for an entire year, Horan dedicated himself to working in the weight room, upping his weight from 145 to 210 by the following spring. It was at that point that Horan met former Husky wide receiver Todd Elstrom, who encouraged his fellow Puyallup High alum to walk on at UW.
Horan contacted Washington's coaches, informing them of his desire to try and make the team, but omitting the medical saga he had endured the past three years.
"I didn't tell them anything," Horan says. "I didn't want anyone to know the injuries I had had, because I didn't want it to influence their opinion of me one way or the other."
Two years later, Horan is pain-free and an active member of Washington's scout team. He says his love for the game is greater than any pain he could ever experience.
"My senior year, the pain was horrible but I still did it," he says. "Just to be able to go out there any play without pain is amazing. I keep talking to the coaches about getting just one play on special teams somewhere here at the end of the season. To be able to say I played in a game for the Washington Huskies would be incredible."
As Washington's seniors are introduced Saturday, there will be many names with which Husky fans won't be as familiar. For every Evan Benjamin, there's a Brian Tawney; for every Manase Hopoi, a Steve Horan. All are a part of the Husky family, and all will be remembered with pride.

What are the factors that limit the frequency of light? Can it have wavelengths ranging between zero and infinity?
The electromagnetic spectrum does range between (almost) zero and (almost) infinity. It's just that your eyes are sensitive to a very small part of it (from about 380 nm to about 800 nm).
At the lowest frequencies, it becomes difficult to recognize the signal from background fluctuations.
From this site: "Gamma-rays are detected by observing the effects they have on matter." So the upper end of the EM spectrum is probably above 300 EHz, but there are no EM generators at those frequencies.
Do keep in mind that the frequency of light is reference frame dependent. So, for example, the cosmic background microwave radiation would appear as a concentrated gamma radiation source 'in front' to an observer with ultra-relativistic speed relative to the CMB.
In other words, light emitted from a body of a particular frequency in that body's frame of reference, could have arbitrarily low or arbitrarily high frequency in relatively moving reference frames.
Theoretically, the shortest wavelengths of light would be limited by the Planck length, at some point the space 'closed' by the wavelength would be so small that gravitational effects would dominate, in the same way that black holes can bend light passing near their event horizon at very small scales the wavelength would be so small that it might be at the centre of its own super-tiny black hole and so be unable to escape.
We don't have much of an understanding of what happens at these scales of space though, the Planck length is 10-20 times smaller than the diameter of a proton and what gravity does at this extreme is one of physics' central mysteries.
I'm not too sure about what the limits of the lowest frequency / longest wavelength are, I suppose that the longest wavelength would be limited by the age and size of the universe, as far as we know the Universe has an age and the speed of light has a fixed upper limit so perhaps the longest possible wavelength is linked somehow to whether the Universe is expanding or not and whether the big bang really was the start of all quantum events.
The lowest frequency limit is provided by the size of the universe. If we could make an antenna that size, the frequency would be "very close" to zero. The highest EM frequency limit is provided by the smallest antenna we could make. I believe that would be the size of a hydrogen atom, giving us, $$F_u = \frac{2.997x10^8}{6.28x5.29x$10^{-11}} = 9.02x10^{17}Hz$$
Note: These are theoretical limits, the current "real" limits are as reported on Wikipedia.

Human Genetics Historical Library: Origins of a 20th Century Science
Genetics and medicine in the 19th century
Although Mendel worked on plants, the problems of human inherited diseases were at the forefront of 19th century thought on heredity. Charles Darwin was keenly interested in human genetic disorders (see the example here), while his cousin Francis Galton laid the foundations of quantitative inheritance through studies of human characteristics. The 1965 centenary of Mendel's work created great interest in the early history of the field.
William Bateson, Mendel's Principles of Heredity, 1913
Rediscovering Mendel through inherited disorders
The 1900 rediscovery of Mendel's work made scientists realise that the abundant material on human genetic conditions gave evidence to support Mendel that was as important as experiments on other species. William Bateson was the key promoter of Mendel and his links with physicians such as Archibald Garrod gave the first sound evidence for human Mendelian inheritance.
The monumental Treasury of Human Inheritance (1909-1958) attempted to collect all the known material on human inheritance and this knowledge was incorporated in the first textbooks
Julia Bell, Treasury of Human Inheritance, 1912
Popular books on Genetics
Many notable scientists wrote books for the general public to explain genetics, including human and medical genetics: a notable writer in this category was J.B.S. Haldane, many of whose books were collections of articles originally published in the Daily Worker. The tradition of popular books continues to the present.
Prof. H. J. Muller, Out of the Night: A Biologist's View of the Future, 1936
Catastrophy and abuse
Despite rapid international progress, genetics in the 1930s and 1940s saw disasters in Russia and Germany. In Russia, where the world's first Medical Genetics Institute had been created in 1934, the entire field was banned and destroyed by Stalin and his protégé Lysenko.
In Germany the Nazis introduced 'eugenic' laws that led to mass murder, and were supported by many of the most eminent German scientists in the field.
T. D. Lysenko, Heredity and its Variability, 1949
Prof. F. G. Levit (ed.), Proceedings of the Maxim Gorky Medico-Biological Research Institute Moscow, 1934
The molecules of life
One of the greatest achievements of British post-war research was the discovery of the structure of DNA and of the genetic code, much done at the Cambridge Laboratory for Molecular Biology, involving Francis Crick, James Watson, Rosalind Franklin and Max Perutz. Disorders of haemoglobin, whose structure was worked out by Perutz, are the commonest genetic conditions world-wide.
Alongside these basic discoveries, modern human genetics was starting to evolve and to become a scientific discipline over a wide front of research.
DNA helix
Genetics as part of medicine, and documenting its history
Over the past 50 years Medical Genetics has become a major medical speciality and also increasingly is part of medicine as a whole. Genetic counselling, diagnosis and tests based on chromosomes and DNA have now helped many thousands of families; Wales has been a pioneer in this field of medicine.
Now the first generation of workers in medical genetics is retiring and the history of this field urgently needs preserving – including its books. Cardiff is the world focus for these initiatives.

& Research | Education | Practice | Clinician Resources | Parent Resources | Membership
Member Survey Summary
The Section on Integrative Medicine (SOIM) had the opportunity to complete a member survey on SurveyMonkey.com from August to October 2005. There were 35 responses with an estimated 50% response rate.
When respondents were asked from where they first learned about the SOIM, 46% (16) learned from a colleague in the section, 14.4% (5) from AAP OnCall e-mail, 5.7% (2) from AAP News, and the remaining 34.3% (12) from an integrative medicine organization (eg, American Holistic Medical Association, International Pediatric Integrative Medicine Network). The majority of respondents (62%) are members of other AAP committees and sections, including the Committee on Children with Disabilities, the Councils on Clinical Informatics and Technology and Community Pediatrics, and the Sections on Adolescent Health, Breastfeeding, Developmental/Behavioral Pediatrics, Epidemiology, International Health, and Young Physicians.
The overwhelming majority of respondents (84.4%) were interested in the SOIM objectives to offer education for pediatricians, patients, and families. 68.8% also were interested in clinical models of effective integrative practice; 59.4% wanted more information on research; 43.8% wanted more advocacy for reimbursement, and 25% were interested in collaborating with other clinicians who care for children. There were two suggestions for the SOCIM to offer evidence-based updates on therapies and to consider collaborating with non-conventional disciplines.
When asked in what format they would like to receive complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) CME, the majority of respondents (81.2%) preferred review articles. 65.6% preferred traditional CME at separate pediatric integrative medicine conferences or similar venues; 62.5% wanted information on the Internet; 53.1% traditional CME at the annual AAP National Conference and Exhibition; 37.5% wanted CME at the annual Pediatric Academic Societies conference; and a smaller percentage preferred web seminars (28.1%), books (21.9%), and teleconferences (12.5%).
Most respondents were very to moderately knowledgeable about various SOIM therapies such as herbal remedies, dietary/nutritional supplements, therapeutic exercise, massage, acupuncture, mind-body therapies, and spiritual healing/prayer. The majority of respondents knew less about environmental therapies (ie, magnets, crystals, music, etc), therapeutic touch/Reiki, and homeopathy. The majority of respondents want more information on most therapies, except chiropractic and spiritual healing.
Respondents were asked to select multiple section benefits that they plan to use. The majority of respondents plan to use the following benefits: discussion listserv (71.9%), CME (71.9%), networking opportunities (68.8%), web information (68.8%), the newsletter (62.5%), and the announcement listserv (62.5%).
When respondents were asked to select multiple SOIM activities in which they would like be involved, the majority wanted to participate in the SOCIM planning and/or presenting (63.3%). Only 23% of respondents were not interested in becoming involved at this time.
Approximately 75% of respondents spend most of their time in other specialty/subspecialty areas, and most are employed at a medical school or parent university (40.6%). Over 25% are employed in various practice structures, and 12.5% were employed at non-government hospitals and 3.1% at non-profit community health centers. Several respondents were training or conducting research in pediatric integrative medicine. When asked to describe their primary practice/position location, 40.6% were in urban, not inner city, 31.2% were in the inner city, and 28.1% were in the suburbs. No one's practice setting was located in a rural area. Finally, roughly 70% of the membership is female, and most respondents were born between 1955 and 1970.
The SOIM Executive Committee has already referred to this very useful information in developing CME and planning future activities for the section.
