The figures suggest millions of Britons already struggling with rising household bills could be left unable to cope with the mounting cost of their debts.
Nearly one in four admits that repayments on their current debts are unmanageable, according to a study.
Meanwhile, 9.5million have hit their borrowing limit on a credit card, overdraft or loan over the last six months.
Family finances are likely to be stretched even further because of heavy spending before Christmas and during the January sales.
In total, Britain is carrying £1.35trillion in debt, including credit cards, personal loans, overdrafts and mortgages.
Overall, the research found that the average household has now amassed unsecured debts of £4,281, made up of £2,684 owed through loans, £1,204 on credit cards and £393 on an overdraft.
Households now pay an average of £3,744 in interest on debt, including their mortgage, each year, £517 more than they paid last year.
A series of interest rate rises increased the pressure of families in 2007, before the Bank of England cut the base rate by a quarter point in December. But many credit card and mortgage providers have not passed the reduction on to their customers and the situation is being made worse by the global credit crunch.
Banks and building societies are taking a much tougher line on which customers they will accept and how much they will lend.
The research reveals that almost four in ten - 38 per cent - of those who applied for a credit card in the past six months were turned down.
Two in ten - 19 per cent - of applicants for a personal loan were also rejected.
The study, by the personal finance website uSwitch.com, also found that six per cent of credit card holders have had their limit cut.
Mike Naylor, of uSwitch, said those with big debts need to take urgent steps to protect themselves. He suggested substantial savings on interest repayments are possible by consolidating debts into a single unsecured loan.
"If consumers don't act now to sort out their finances, they could find themselves caught in a spiral of debt with no way out," he added.
"People have enjoyed easy access to cheap credit for quite some time, but for some, the party really could be over.
"The base rate reduction is a step in the right direction, but it could be too little, too late for people in real financial difficulties."
Citizen's Advice currently help more than 6,600 Britons a day with debt problems.
According to uSwitch, this represents a 25 per cent increase on 2006 and "indicates that debt problems for UK consumers could be getting out of control".
The accounting firm KPMG said a record total of more than 130,000 individuals are likely to go bust in 2008.
They will either declare themselves bankrupt or enter an Individual Voluntary Arrangement to repay their debts.
This compares with 111,000 becoming insolvent in the 12 months to September 2007.
Mark Sands of KPMG said: "Those in difficulty will find that their options are becoming limited - formal insolvency will, for many, be the only way out."
There are signs that some finance firms are looking to cash in on the debts.
For example, the company behind the Marbles credit card, which has some 338,000 customers, has unveiled huge increases in interest rates.
Holders will see the average interest on purchases climb by four percentage points while the figure for cash advances will rise by six per cent.
As a result, some customers will be charged as much as 26.9 per cent on purchases and 33.9 per cent for cash.
Damon Gibbons, of the campaign group Debt on Our Doorstep, said many borrowers are becoming "credit dependent" and "tied into a spiral of debt".

Noise cancelling earphones face several difficulties. Not everyone realises the difference between them and noise isolating earphones, a misunderstanding that's compounded by the premium the technology incurs. Digital Silence is here to try and bring this noise-busting tech to a whole new budget audience with these DS-101A earphones.
Digital Silence is a relatively new brand, conjured up by audio stalwarts Wolfson Micro to show off their noise cancellation in the mainstream market. The Digital Silence DS101-A sell for around £39, a fraction of what some better-known solutions retail for.
Their design invites confusion, because they look just like a standard IEM pair - which use noise isolation to keep out external sound. Noise isolation in earphones involves using either silicone or foam tips to turn your earphones into earplugs, physically blocking out noise. Although the Digital Silence DS-101A also use rubber tips, they're not the most active part of this isolation equation.
On the back of each earbud are sound holes, which naturally let sound in and out. Without having noise cancellation enabled on the remote housing, noise isolation isn't too good here. Switch it on and things improve though.
The Digital Silence DS-101A earphones have microphones on each earpiece that monitor ambient sound. Sound waves the inverse of this ambient noise are then pumped through the speakers - along with any music you might be playing - to cancel out this unwanted noise.
This entry-level model uses an analogue circuit to create the noise-nullifying signal, within the chunky housing that sits roughly 1m up from the jack plug. There are no settings to pick from on this front - just an on and off switch.
A rechargeable lithium battery powers the noise cancellation, and offers up to 30 hours off a charge - stamina comparable with the best sets available. The battery is charged over microUSB, which is mighty convenient when most new smartphones use this connector. Also on this housing is a call accept button, although the microphone itself is further up the earphone cable - around 10cm or so from the right earbud.
As handy as this control box is though, it does weigh down the cable in a way that other earphone hands-free units don't. The Digital Silence DS-101A earphones offer up a strong belt clip, but having to consider somewhere to put it is a pain. If you're wearing a jacket it's no biggie, but during those (admittedly short-lived) T-shirt-wearing summer months it's sure to irritate. It's a little bit too heavy to comfortably leave dangling, and the weight could lead to wear on the connection between the bud and cable before too long. There's not enough cable between the earpieces and housing to let you clip it on a trouser pocket either.
This difficulty is one reason why many noise cancelling units use an on-ear design rather than an in-ear design – it allows all the tech gubbins to be stashed away in the headphone itself. Here there's just not room.
I have tested them carefully, with all three sizes of rubber, and I reqlly can't detect any significant noise-cancelling effect. I sent the first set back as I thought they might be faulty, but the second set was the same. Sound quality is good, and mine were cheqp with a good discount, so I am keeping them anyway. I am not impressed.
I also can't detect any obvious noise cancellation. The switch seems to increase the volume a notch, but background noise is as audible with the switch off.
The headphones aren't bad sounding, and it's handy to have the call answer/hang up button, but as Rod said, if you need noise cancelling, I'd try something else.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the informative article on the device. I was planning to use it on Skpye after making the microphone to record on Vista first. A audio file was created, but my voice was not recorded. I must have missed something along the way, could you help me? Thanks.
I just got a pair of these.
Sound quality is pretty good - not audiophile but certainly not shabby. Bass is there and isn't too muddy. Highs are a little sharp but not painful to listen to. Overall I'd give them an 'OK'
The call button worked fine for summoning Siri and people I called said that they could hear me loud and clear. What would have been great is if they had added volume controls - even an old school analogue one would've been cool.
The noise cancelling actually works pretty well. I tested them outside near a highway and in front of my speakers playing a YouTube video of cabin noise (LOUDLY). In both cases it blocked low and mid range noise really well, but it falls short when trying to block higher pitched noise out. It also introduces a slight hiss, but to be honest you can only hear it in a noise free environment ... there is some irony here, I'll let you find it.
Honestly, I didn't think they were doing a good noise cancelling job until I turned the circuitry off and suddenly there I was, surrounded by all this sound. Whilst sitting in my little airline simulator (yes, it was awesome in case you were wondering), I selected Of Monsters and Men's Little Talks on my iPhone, set it to the minimum audible volume and hit play. All the extra high noise from before was effectively removed and I could hear the song perfectly well.
- Very good NC for the price (not Bose levels but they don't cost $300 either)
- In-built battery with Micro-USB charging
- Good sound quality (again, not audiophile quality, but good value)
- Light and small
- I wish they had put volume controls on it, that would have been AMAZING
- The battery pack would be better placed at the end of the cable (like the QC20's)
- The ear bud tips are only so-so, a little inflexible for me
- Sound quality is only good. Could be better but hey, there's that price again...
I don't know why people are complaining about these, the key word everyone seems to forget is value. The NC does it's job, the sound is fine and the call features work surprising well. I got mine for $24 shipped to my door and for that price, they rock.
I wonder how the microphone noise cancelling works, I work in a welding industry and its pretty loud . And i like to answer my phone at work =)
This thing rocks! The noise cancellation work very well. I just use it for my trip to Asia, 15 hour flight and I can have a 15 hour low noise flight, the sound is excellent compare to most earphones, there's no need to think overboard, I think it give you a sound that is clean and even musical. That's true that you can hear some sound but it's not annoying and it's helpful for you to be aware of your surroundings. my seat is by the wings but my entire flight is so comfortable. I highly recommend!
Used a pair for ~ 1 year. The sound quality is good and the active noise reduction is impressive given the price. However, the writes and connections are vulnerable, so cable break protection would be advised. Also, Digital Silence as a company pretty much doesn't exist, so warranty or any basic support is non existent

Ripoff Report
Senior Placement Services Inc1130 Broadway, suite 230 North Massapequa,NY 11758 , Select State/Province USA
Senior Placement Services Inc Virginia Belling Virginia Belling runs a company that isolates your elderly loved one, and leaves them with unlicensed and unqualified "care-givers". She brainwashes them, takes advantage of them, and in my case, all of my mother's jewelry (which was substantial), has all gone missing. One of my mom's cars was taken as well. The person Virginia left with my mother was unqualified, unlicensed, and took jewelry, cars, cash and helped themselves to whatever they wanted. As she was court appointed, she had the backing of the court, and therefore was extremely bold in her indoctrination and poisoning my mother's mind against me and her grandchildren, who she has not been allowed to see in almost FIVE years. Do NOT hire this woman or her company!!! She will ruin what's left of your loved one's life, and destroy your relationship with them. Guardianship and Court appointees are all FRAUDS!!. They are despicable people who have ONE agenda, to STEAL everything!! Massapequa New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Virginia Belling, who is the owner of Senior Placement Services, was appointed to be the Geriatric Case manager during my Guardianship case with my Mom, who has Dementia and Alzheimer's. The woman she allowed to remain with my mother for over THREE years had NO qualifications to care for someone in my mother's condition. In fact, she was an illegal alien, who didn't even posses a valid driver's license!! She allowed her to drive my mother's vehicles with my Mom INSIDE the car, and for her own personal use. Virginia, along with this "aide", conspired to poison my mother against her family, for sole purpose of stealing from her substantial estate, which they did. They helped themselves to cash, cars, jewelry etc...virginia was witnessed "coaching" my Mother in open court by multiple people, including myself. My own private investigator concluded that my Mom's house was being used as a "drug Den", with Men coming and going in and out of my mother's home at all hours of the day and night. I SHUTTER to think what they did this poor woman. I have no doubt that she was drugged and locked in her bedroom. All under the direction and supervision of Virginia Belling of Senior placement services. I have video and picture evidence of what I'm stating, and it is all TRUE....!! There is little to no jewelry left (my mother had ALOT, as my father was very successful), and God only knows what else is missing beside cars, jewelry and cash. Please Do NOT allow this woman or her company NEAR your family!!! She will destroy the last remaining day's of your loved one's life, as well as your entire family!!
Because she is part of an on-going Guardianship case, she feels she is "protected" by the court system, which is just as CORRUPT as she is. I have it on good authority that she was brain-washing my mother against me from DAY ONE, which is very easy to do when someone has Alzheimer's, because paranoia is part of the disease, which of course the is fully aware of and takes advantage of that fact for her own personal gain. I have NO intention of letting her get away with this, and what she has done to my mother, me and her Grandchildren, who she has not been allowed to see in almost FIVE years!! Please, DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR FAMILY!!! I am pursuing the matter of course, but if writing this report spares even ONE family, then is was worth writing.

Karachi, Feb 20 (PTI) Former Pakistan captain and chiefselector Aamir Sohail feels that India have made a perfectstart to their cricket World Cup campaign and given a greatexample of their batting strength in the opening match againstBangladesh.
India brushed aside co-hosts Bangladesh by 87 runsyesterday after scoring a massive 370 for four including amasterful 175 from Virender Sehwag and 100 not out by ViratKohli, with the pair putting on a 203-run partnership for thethird wicket.
Sohail said that Bangladesh had lost the match at thetoss having succumbed to the pressure of the occasion and theexpectations of their partisan home crowd.
Sohail in his column for ''The News'' daily warned that theteams who have yet to play India can only hope to upset theWorld Cup favourites by restricting them to around 270 or 280.
"If the teams who are yet to come up against India find away to restrict their batting to around the 280 mark, Istrongly believe they can upset the favourites," Sohail said.
"If you look at the Indian side closely, you will findthey need to improve their fielding and on occasions thebowling can be vulnerable on a decent pitch where they couldgo for runs," he said.
Sohail said that after being put into bat, the Indiansstarted off like champions putting Bangladesh to the sword bygathering quick runs and proving captain Shakib''s decisionincorrect.
"Virender Sehwag who recently said that he would belooking to bat for the full 50 overs, made his intent clear byplaying some exquisite strokes and settled down to gathersingles with his partners, before a mix-up with SachinTendulkar saw the little master run out by the length of thewicket.
"The loss of his partner did not pressurise Sehwag as hetook on the responsibility to produce a workman like effort inall respects, perfectly knowing when to rotate the strike tothe younger mates, and hold back and then when to step up thetempo," Sohail noted. (More) PTI Corr SHN

Good purchase. 11/23/2013
This review is from: LaCie 4big Quadra 16TB USB 3.0 3.5" External Hard Drive LAC9000330U
It works as advertised. (not all the common these days)
Attached to W7 on USB3 with hdtach I get 182MB/s avg read.
Raid configuration is easy
Price isn't outrageous when you consider the cost of 4 - 4TB drives.
Sleeps and wakes up randomly sometimes. I suspect this is a W7 issue and not the device.
Takes a little longer than I would like to wake up, but faster than my WD raid usb drive. Not a drive issue, just physics, spin up the drives and verify raid. I doubt it could be any faster with mechanical drives.
Other Thoughts:
I have had this about 3 weeks now and am happy with this purchase. More money than I wanted to spend, but given the alternatives to backing up the 7TB I currently have, I am very happy.
I backup all my pc images to it and rsync to an smb mount all of my media from a Linux NAS. Even though the NAS is a Raid-z with HS, one wrong command and its all gone. When will we get TB optical media.
I haven't looked at the brand drives they are using, but hopefully they will stand the test of time.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Animal rights activists filed a civil lawsuit on Monday contesting the constitutionality of a Utah law that bans recording at an agricultural facility without the owner's consent. The suit, which asks the court to strike down a law that Gov. Gary Herbert (R) signed in March 2012, is the first challenge to this type of "ag gag" law.
The plaintiffs in the suit include PETA, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), environmental journalist Will Potter, and animal rights activist Amy Meyer. Meyer was charged with violating Utah's law in February after she filmed a tractor carrying away a downed cow outside a meatpacking facility. She was the first person to face prosecution under an ag gag law in the US. The charges against her were later dropped because she was standing on public property while filming, but Meyer wants to prevent future charges against her and other activists.
"Utah should be ashamed of itself for passing a law to keep animal abuse a secret," Jeff Kerr, general counsel for PETA, told Mother Jones. "The Utah legislature should be passing laws to put cameras in slaughterhouses and factory farms to expose and end abuse, as opposed to keeping it secret to protect their profits."
Utah was one of four states to pass laws criminalizing whistleblowing on agricultural facilities in 2012. In a recent feature for Mother Jones, Ted Genoways investigated the spread of so-called "ag gag" laws, which have been introduced in 12 more states in 2013. A total of eight states have now passed this type of legislation.
In Iowa, the law prohibits people from obtaining employment under false pretenses, like providing a false name or lying about employment history, in order to film animal abuse. But Utah's law is even stricter, making it illegal to seek employment at an agricultural facility with the intention of creating a recording inside the facility, even if the prospective employee does not provide false information on the job application. Justin Marceau, a lawyer for ALDF, said the groups decided to challenge Utah's law first because the charges brought against Meyer earlier this year show that "police and prosecutors are serious about enforcing it" in the state.
The complaint, which names Utah Attorney General John Swallow and Gov. Herbert as defendants, alleges that the law's primary purpose is to "stifle political debate about modern animal agriculture by criminalizing the creation of videos or photos from within the industry made without the express consent of the industry." The law also prevents the public and government officials from "learning about violations of laws and regulations designed to ensure a safe food supply and to minimize animal cruelty," the complaint argues.
The plaintiffs say the law violates the Constitution. "The statute takes a content- or viewpoint-based discrimination, singling out certain types of speech or messages for less protection," said Marceau, who is also a constitutional law professor at the University of Denver.
A spokesperson for the Utah Attorney General's Office told Mother Jones that Swallow had not yet had a chance to review the complaint and could not comment on it. Herbert's office also declined to comment.
The plaintiffs argue that Utah's ag gag law could have consequences beyond preventing the exposure of animal abuse. "These laws have implications for union organizers and exposing other kinds of abuses that may go on behind closed doors," said Kerr. "The law as drafted would prevent someone from filming bad employment practices or unsafe working conditions on factory farms and slaughterhouses."
Plaintiff Will Potter, who first posted Meyer's video online, said that the law could also affect journalists covering the issue. "Ag gag puts my sources at risk of prosecution for speaking with me or providing me their footage," Potter told Mother Jones. "No journalist should have to choose between not reporting a story that is of national concern and putting a source in jail."
Proponents of the law have argued that this is a private property issue and that activists should not be allowed to record on someone's property without their consent. But the plaintiffs say the law is designed to prevent the exposure of abuse at agricultural facilities. "The reality is we celebrate undercover investigations in all sorts of contexts; if somebody gets into a kitchen of a restaurant and shows there's gross things going on, we're really happy to learn that," said Marceau. "Here we have the agricultural industry saying, 'We're special, we shouldn't be subjected to this investigative reporting treatment.'"

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Just signed up for this one too, been out of the running game for a year or so and haven't done a full marathon for 2 years so figured this is the kick up the arse to get myself motivated again! Looking forward to a weekend in Edinburgh too, anyone got any good reccomendations for hotels???
Well, 4 miles last night and a fresh 2.5 miles this morning - back onit but a long, long way to go
Thanks for the hotel info Gary, I'll have a look into it
Do the race numbers get sent out in the post or do we have to pick them up from somewhere race weekend??
hi everyone hope everyone's training is going well and if anyone needs advice on accommodation or transport links please feel free to ask as I live close by. You will save a lot of money by staying outside of the city centre and travelling to the start. A local B&B to myself has great prices (also free parking) and is only 40 mins drive to the start which is a very easy drive, and easy parking once there.
I done the Edinburgh half this year and found everything to be well organised. I will be entering the Edinburgh marathon soon but having just completed Frankfurt marathon I am having a few weeks recovery
They are not to bad in the city centre...getting back from the finish area is easy enough as there are two local train stations nearby. Unfortunately though Edinburgh is a nightmare at the minute as they are still working on the tram lines, thus why I would stay outside Edinburgh and travel in. Any other questions please again feel free to ask.
did Edinburgh as my first marathon this year and absolutely loved it - could have run another 10k was so high at end! Ran Chester 3 weeks ago and whilst did a better faster run, missed the atmosphere, support and scenery of Edinburgh! YOu will love it!
we stayed in Brewsters Hostel directly on the Royal Mile for £20 a night in a shared hostel room. 5 mins from station and start of race and even better had a kitchen to make up porridge, eat bananas and drink tea with fellow marathon/ half marathon runners. The night was a little bit disturbed, but you're running on adrenaline so not sure I would have slept well anywhere! It was all part of the adventure!
You will have a great time...wonder what the medals will look like this year?
Hi Gary, I would get a taxi to the start area as you are only a couple of miles outside then get a taxi back from the finish to your hotel...see the problem is after the marathon you will not want to walk to a local train station (about 1 mile to Wallyford) then from the train station to your hotel (about 3/4mile)...think that is your best bet plus getting a taxi will prob work out cheaper than parking your car in Edinburgh

I suggested doing a page that you were "meh" about, and personally chose this one: I had trouble getting going with the birds, but once I started pasting stuff down it all flowed.
(you can always click pics to enlarge)
How did I end up with three (three!!) sayings on one spread?! Tomorrow I'm going to cover up the bottom left one - the page needs a little texture anyway. Three quotes is a little too Stuart Smalley for me.
I'm hoping to see lots of people back next month, and maybe they will bring new pages to ooh and ahh over - but if not, that's okay too. Sometimes you have to hold the fire to the kindling a few times before the spark takes hold!

Mercenaries 2 Not worth the wait!
As a fan of the original Mercenaries, i was looking forward to the Mercenaries 2. However the game kept getting delayed and delayed and i began wondering if all that time was being put to good use. In the end the game ended up being i think a shadow of its former self. The story is pretty basic and can be forgotten after the first hour or so of gameplay. You'll pretty much be focusing on doing jobs for all the factions while not letting other factions know you causing them trouble. The only bright spot in the game is the awesome sight of watching buildings go up in smoke. And you can do that in a varing amount of ways. They say that there are various ways to approach taking out your targets but all you have to do is run in there and take out your targets the ai in the game is not that great and you can find lots of health packs in the game and you can run for cover and stay there and you wont be chased after. The graphics in the game are ok but it feels almost like an upscanned PS2 game. The co-op makes the game a little better but i had some problems with being disconnected and wierd graphical glithes that forced me to quit the game. In the end Mercenaries 2 was a dissappointing experience for me. If you want to give it a try download the demo but i think youll get enough out of the demo to where renting or purchasing this game would not be a good investment of your time or money.

First, a quiz: In the following scenario, do you think this is a network, device or application problem?
Users are continually experiencing garbled and choppy VoIP calls, Internet connections are slow, and you are receiving complaints of poor video quality.
If you answered network bandwidth issues, you are correct. With video becoming the primary data type on networks of all types, it's a lot easier for networks to become strained and overused, and often not by mission critical traffic.
If you are consistently experiencing these problems, here are some helpful steps to take to prevent bandwidth issues.
Step 1: Create a baseline
It's always important to know what your bandwidth needs are based on the number of users and the types of applications that are running on your network. Know who is using what, when, where, and why in regards to network segments. This will help you understand the overall demand on your network and allocate bandwidth appropriately. It will also allow you to quickly determine when network usage is exceeding norms.
If new applications, new users, or new devices are introduced be sure to reevaluate your baseline usage.
Step 2: Prioritize critical business applications and tie baseline protocols and usage to those applications
Each network segment may have different protocol priorities because of the specific applications that traverse those segments. Top applications need to be handled based on business importance for the segment they are individually on.
That said, even if you prioritize your business applications, any protocol that is not performing well could affect overall application performance. In order to determine what application might be causing problems, it is essential to have a network analyzer that can break down and show individual flows and their performance. The network analyzer can provide visibility into the weakest link as well as options to sort application flows with various criteria choices.
Step 3: Use packet shaping technologies
Packet shaping allows you to prioritize certain network traffic, like key applications or real-time data (like VoIP) over other, less critical traffic on your network. For example, if you run an online store that is the backbone of your business, HTTP traffic to and from your web servers is critical. Packet shaping technology can give this traffic priority over everything else, ensuring the best possible user experience for your online customers.
Step 4: Prune your protocols/traffic
Most corporate networks have unnecessary traffic which can consume precious network bandwidth needlessly. Check for protocols that may no longer be necessary on your network, or that could be network hogs, like SNMP, to determine if they still have a purpose or if they are being misused. If they are no longer mission critical, make sure your packet shaping technology treats this traffic with the lowest possible priority.
Along with continuously pruning your network, be sure to constantly monitor your network. The best monitoring solutions will allow you to archive packet data to disk, providing a complete recording of network activity. When your monitoring solution indicates problems, simply "rewind" your network to determine exactly what the issue is. Whether it's a surge in web-based sales due to your latest promotion, or employees streaming the Stanley Cup playoffs, it's up to you to know what your network can handle, and up to your network monitoring and analysis solution to let you know when bandwidth issues are about to occur.

The news we have been waiting for is finally here!
Initially the big news was Chiranjeevi making a comeback in films. In fact, his upcoming movie would be the 150th film in his career. but soon after, speculations around the female lead became bigger news. It started with Nayanthara being considered for the role, then it was Anushka Shetty, followed by Jaqueline Fernandez! Yes, even Bollywood heroines were approached for this big project but nothing came off it. And now, after all the speculations and rumours, Kajal Aggarwal has been confirmed to play the heroine in Chiranjeevi's 150th film.
According to a leading daily a source revealed, "It is true that Kajal is doing the film. She will start shooting for the movie from this month." This film is the Telugu remake of Kaththi thata starred Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Earlier, the film was being called Kaththilantodu but Ram Charan in his live Facebook session revealed that the film will NOT be called that. The final title of the movie is yet to be revealed and confirmed.
Chiranjeevi will be playing a dual role in this film-one of a cop and the other of a criminal. This Telugu remake will be tweaked a little to suit the megastar and the telugu audience. The makers have already completed with three schedules of the film. As Ram Charan revealed in his Facebook live, the movie is set to release most likely next year around Sakranti. The music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad, and the movie is directed by VV Vinayak.
As for Kajal Aggarwal, she seems to be the most sought-after actress currently. Apart from Chiranjeevi's next, she will also be part of Ajith Kumar's 57th film. The film will also star two other heroines.

- #1720 - Wednesday, March 3, 2004 - Editor: JerryHighlights home: http://nonduality.com/hlhome.htmI wish to thank Gloria, Joyce, Michael and Mark for covering for me while I was on vacation for three weeks. --Jerrys.v.c.sQuestioner: Sri Aurobindo and others refer to you as having had no Guru.
Sri Ramana Maharshi: It all depends on what you call a Guru. He need not be in a human form. Dattatreya had twenty-four Gurus including the five elements- earth, water, etc. Every object in this world was his Guru.
The Guru is absolutely necessary. The Upanishads say that none but a Guru can take a man out of the jungle of intellect and sense perceptions. So there must be a Guru.
Questioner: I mean a human Guru- Maharshi did not have one.
Sri Ramana Maharshi: I might have had one at one time or other. But did I
not sing hymns to Arunachala? What is a Guru? Guru is God or the Self.
First a man prays to God to fulfil his desires. A time comes when he will
no more pray for the fulfilment of material desires but for God Himself.
God then appears to him in some form or other, human or non-human, to guide
him to Himself in answer to his prayer and according to his needs.
Question: When loyal to one master can you respect others?
Sri Ramana Maharshi: Guru is only one. He is not physical. So long as there
is weakness the support of strength is needed.
Hari Aum !!!danananda2004CONSCIOUSNESS
Existence or Consciousness is the only reality. Consciousness plus
waking we call waking. Consciousness plus sleep we call sleep.
Consciousness plus dream, we call dream. Consciousness is the screen
on which all the pictures come and go. The screen is real, the
pictures are mere shadows on it.
(ramana maharshi)SELF-REALIZATION
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing
anything or becoming anything. If one has realized, he is that which
alone is, and which alone has always been. He cannot describe that
state. He can only be That. Of course we loosely talk of self-
realization for want of a better term.
That which 'Is' is peace. All that we need do is to keep quiet. Peace
is our real nature. We spoil it. What is required is that we cease to
spoil it.
(ramana maharshi)s.v.c.sHaving sincere devotion is far greater than being a great scholarONCE during a visit to the Ashram in the 1940s I was sitting outside
the Old Hall with many devotees, facing Sri Bhagavan who was reclining
on a couch. A group of learned pundits were discussing certain passages
from the Upanishads with great enthu-siasm and profundity. All,
including Bhagavan, appeared to be attentively listening to this
interesting discussion when, all of a sudden, Bhagavan rose from his
couch, walked thirty metres to the north, and stood before a villager
who was standing there looking lowly with palms joined.Immediately the discussion stopped and all eyes were turned to Bhagavan
and the villager standing at a distance. They appeared to be
conversing, but at such a distance no one could tell about what. Soon
Bhagavan returned to his couch and the discussion resumed.I was curious about this villager and why Bhagavan had gone out of his
way to meet him. So, while the discussion continued I slipped away and
caught up with him before he left the Ashram. I asked the villager what
he and Bhagavan had talked about. He said that Bhagavan had asked him
why he was standing there so far away. "I told Bhagavan, 'I am only an
ignorant, poor villager. How am I to approach you who are God
incarnate?'"" What did the Maharshi say then?" I asked." He asked me my name, what village I was from, what work I did and how
many children I had, etc."" Did you ask Him anything?"" I asked Him how I could be saved and how I could earn His blessings."" What did He tell you?"" He asked me if there was a temple in my village. I told him there
was. He wanted to know the name of the deity of that temple. I told Him
the name. He then said that I should go on repeating the name of that
deity and I would receive all the blessings needed."I came back to Bhagavan's presence and sat among the devotees listening
to the learned discussion, in which I had now lost all interest,
realizing that the simple humility and devotion of this peasant had
evoked a far greater response from our Master than any amount of
learning. I then decided that, though a scholar by profession, I should
always remain a humble, ignorant peasant at heart, and pray, like that
villager, for Bhagavan's grace and blessings.- Prof. K. SwaminathanHari Aum !!!Vicki WoodyardNDSRuinI would like to have a spirit guide with a little more class but I got
Larry. He favors loud colors and cliches. Having heard of vision
quests, I set out on mine when I was in a low point in my inner life. I
drove out to a piece of clear-cut land right before they built the
subdivision. The sun was just going down, illuminating the signs
saying, "Virgin Estates, tract housing at affordable prices." It made
me squint and then want to throw up. But I stayed with my intention of
finding a spirit guide.I sat for at least fifteen minutes before seeing a cloud of red dirt
begin whirling in front of me. I grew excited. Was this my answer to
prayer? Then I looked up and saw Larry...and his stick pony.His mullet shone in the orange glow of the acid rain sunset and I knew
that he was my spirit guide. His cowboy boots were obviously in need of
new soles and he was bowlegged and runty. It was not without
apprehension that I said, "Are you my spirit guide?""Yup," he said before spitting out a wad of gum. "I have been sent by
the Big Boss to guide you to enlightenment and other parts unknown. My
pony here is called Ruin. I looked at Ruin and was pleased to note that
his little brown face was honest and friendly. I couldn't say that much
for Larry. Where had he been all of my life if not at a Rehab for
Problem Spirits. I was in deep trouble. But hey, I have an optimistic
streak. At least the Great Spirit had given me....someone.Larry has been my spirit guide for all of half an hour. I have high
hopes for this relationship. I need someone to give me moxie and lots
of self-approbation. Larry looks like a loser, but what do I know?
Maybe Ruin is the real guru and Larry is just his apprentice. I like a
little mystery.Vicki Woodyard

Coke machine and got all excited. I reached into my pockets and found
that I was flat-broke. Zip. Nada. Unquenchable thirst.I walked around the building looking for a drinking fountain and the
only one I saw said, "out of order." I was becoming more and more
parched. Damn.I wandered outside and felt the sun's heat parching me even further. I
heard the sound of water, though. The sprinkler system had turned on
and was watering the lawn in front of the building. I lay down and got
watered, opening my mouth to the delicious spray.You might say I was flat broke and all wet. Not a bad place to be.Vicki Woodyard

cookie thing. Pass them around when you have eaten a few.Okay, Eric, and whoever is sitting around the stove. Put down yer
whittlin' and sing."Happy Birthday, dear Joyce, Happy Birthday to you."Love, Vicki et alShawn HairNDScee: the pure consciousness, the self, the guru, is all there is. i was
thinking that it stopped creating. (what i meant by this is that i
thought by practice the self would come to know itself and stop making
illusion) but nothing ever did come out of it, and nothing ever has
been created.nome: if we dream of something "other," there must be some explanation
for it. so the explanation usually given, including in all the old
texts and scriptures, is that god, or the supreme self, has created it
or dreamed it up. the purpose of such explanations, originally, were to
guide the seeker's mind to the self, to the source, and were not
intended to give further credence to the thing created. thus,
instructions to the seeker were, "if there has been creation, if you
think that is the case, if you think here is where creation has
started, go to that source." so there are all these explanations.
usually, the consciousness is thought to be either a lord of all,
creating, sustaining, and destroying everything, or in some versions,
being a creator. then, after being a creator, god steps aside and lets
everybody else take care of it, something like that. or, consciousness
has created so much within it, and then this play goes on by some
residual energy of the consciousness, something along these lines.all the explanations are originally intended to point one to pure
consciousness, and not make us think in terms of, "this has actually
happened." however, as is often the case, people do think in terms of,
"it is really going on." when we make the inquiry to know who we are,
we set about looking for a consciousness that is invariable. If it is
variable, it is only thought modifications. it is not consciousness, itself.
consciousness is aware of all change, yet
is unchanging. the characteristic sign of reality, real being, is that
always is just as it is, without beginning, middle, or end,without
change. so we make that inquiry experientially, and we come to find our
iidentity is just the consciousness. we find that the reality is,
indeed, the consciousness. then the question arises, "if the
consciousness is ever the same, if the real self is ever the same, how
has any of this ever come to be?" the question resolves itself further
into, "has it come to be? " we need a "how" if it is really there. we
do not require a reason why or an explanation of how the snake came to
be in a rope, or how the water came to be in the mirage. the whole
point is that there is no water. there is no snake.likewise is it with the whole creation. how it comes to be experienced
is based upon the idea that it is experienced. when we inquire and come
to know the reality, we find that it did not arise, and it will not
arise in the future. it did not happen. it is not going to happen. so
much so is this the case, that while in deep meditation, all
objectified experience may cease even at its own level. should it not
cease, it is still not created. it does not have to go away because it
is not there to begin with. do you see what I mean?cee: yes. it's really great because it's not like there is an ego to
kill, there's not something to get rid of, it was never really there.nome: if there is an ego, one should kill it!cee: yes! (laughter)nome: however, the best way to kill it is to find it. o.k? Before you
first decide to cook it, you first have to catch it. you have to find
it. when we make that inquiry to find it, the more we inquire, the less
we see of it. first we eliminate the tracks it leaves behind, the
actions, the "i am the body," ideas, and so forth and so on. then we
eliminate its thoughts. We want to get right down to what the ego,
itself, is. if we hold on to the ego-i, its i-ness disappears and only
an "I-less-I" remains. Maharshi has said, "if we penetrate into the
heart of the ego, only the self is there. "there being only one "i"
--that is why he said so. so, if there is an ego, hunt it down, and
slay it. of course, in the process of hunting it down, your aim is to
destroy it, but when you hunt it down you will find that there is
nothing there to be destroyed. again, that is why it is called maya. in
all the old scriptures, it is said, "it is impossible to explain, maya.
it is without beginning." most people think that means that it has been
around for a long time! --but t means that it is without beginning. It
did not start! (Laughter) that is why it is maya. it did not start.
however, if you think it is there, then it seems to have been going on
for a long time, much like when you start to dream, you feel that the
dream world has been going on for a long time, even though it is all in
your mind. it is like that with the present illusion. it seems like it
has been there, but really it has never been there. we decide to
inquire to know the truth, and when we finally get a good grasp of what
this illusion is,--there is no illusion there.there is nothing to it.
it is like reaching out and grabbing that snake and finding it is just
the rope. nevertheless, you had to bring the light in to make the
motion to see it for yourself.JPNDSHaving a sangha is like having a family.You have an uncle Albert who is cranky.
You have your brother and your sister,
and they are a little unpredictable
in terms of their emotional stability
under stress. Your father sometimes
drinks a little too much, and says things
he regrets. Your mother gets upset about
your father.All this notwithstanding, you do not
complicate yourself by attempting to
trade them in for a better less
dysfunctional family. You are simply
stuck with them because they are your family.You have to deal with them as they are. If they
really are your family —if you really are
related —then you simply deal with whatever arises.
You simply have no other choice. You know you are
never going to get another family,
this is your family – and that is simple.(Khandro Dechen)

Gran Suerta
The next day, with very clean feet, we headed for the famous market town of Chichicastenango vowing never to pay in full up front for anything again. The market was very busy and bigger than we could explore in the couple of hours we had there. It did satisfy the cravings of the holidaymakers though and we headed on again, laden down with various bits and pieces of Guatemalan merchandise towards Coban.

Chapter 42 (Part Two - Toward Persephone)
The grating stone echoed through as the force underneath pushed it upwards. Belial motioned Emannuelle and GReave to satnd behind him as he waited for the person beneath them to reveal themselves. As the stone became near vertical a raven haired woman in a sapphire blue dress emerged.
Belial reacted instantly grabbing the wrist of the woman and pulling her up from the trapdoor throwing her viciously against the stone wall beside him.
"Belial." The woman gasped.
"Persephone." was the growling reply.
Without a seconds delay Belial threw Persephone down the into the underground cavern again. He heard a satisfying thud and a shriek as Persephone hit the floor below the trapdoor and Belial began his descent down twelve narrow stone steps.
Emannuelle and Greaves followed him down pausing only to make sure the door was closed again. Once they had reached th bottom of the steps they had but a moment to take in the room around them before pandemonium ensued.
The underground cavern was soundproofed with a thick fabric-like wallpaper and carpetted in a lush soft grassy green. The room was as lavish as any above them, with a small cubicle for a toilet, an old cd player, a four poster bed and stove.
There were drapes masking the cold stone walls, each a shimmering yellow or green floating in the stale air around them. PErsephone herself had a beauty unmatched by any that Greaves had previously witnessed. She was tall, with long ivory legs and deep green eyes contrasting her black hair.
The beauty of the room and of the woman seemed to have evaded Belials attention. Emannuelle gasped as he punched fircely in the jaw and grabbed her throat before throwing her onto the bed.
"Belial." Emannuelle managed to cry out.
"Persephone, how beautiful a reunion this is. Pray tell me how is my daughter?" Belial towered over Persephones prone figure.
"Last I saw she was fine, a little shaken but in good spirit..." Belial didn't want to hear the rest of her description of his little girl. The idea that she was nearly devoured by Harpies whilst fleeing her mothers care had enveloped him in a bitter rage. INstead of cutting her up he simply kicked her harshly in the shins causing her to topple off the bed. Persephones head met the stone floor with a sickening crunch.
"You sent her out into the wild forests and she was being tracked by Harpies you stupid, STUPID harlot." Belial had lost control of himself, his usual care and calm when questioning someone had evaporated in to the air with a violent scarlet wisp of smoke.
"But I..." Belial lifted her up to her feet just to punch her in the mouth.
"Do you know why I am here?" Belial demanded forceflly.
"No Belial, just listen to me for a moment." PErsephone began to plead.
"I am here to take you to Zeus and Hades as they requested. They have been searching for you in this keep, all the time you have been cowering here like a serpent in a dungeon. I never figured you for a coward." Belial seemed to slowly be regaining his composure.
"Belial. I think before you continue battering her like a cheap piece of fish you should hear what she has to say." Greaves had walked over to a small shelf and was reading a tattered piece of parchment. The room fell deathly silent for a moment and Emannuelle was unsure whether Belial was going to stride over to Greaves and rip his head from his shoulders or not.
"Belial, I sent the Harpies after her as protection. She was looking for you. I had a visit from Moebius recently who foretold of your coming." Persephone's smooth voice pleaded for Belials attention.
"Why would you send her out there with those horrific rabid beasts?" Belial blurted.
"You have seen her?" PErsephone's eyes burned an emerald fire in the gloom.
"No she has been found by my fellows behind us. She is safe with them they are heading here now from the trail to Hades Citadel." A softness returned to Belials voice.
Emannuelle walked forward and bent down to pick Persephone from the floor. Her thoughts would have set Belial on fire right there and then, a terrible display of an obvious abuse of power. Her thoughts of Belial as a brave leader and noble Demon were once again questioned by the contemptible display she had witnessed.
Persephone stood and walked to the cubicle and took a long draught of water from a white sink. "Has our time apart been so cruel that you would not grant me audience or counsel anymore Belial? Maybe I deserved one of your blows many years ago, but you were a tender beast then. What has caused the mighty warriors downward spiral into madness? I would never hurt my daughter."
Belial sat upon the plush green bed and put his heavy head in his hands and regarded Persephone with a mixture of regret and disdain.
"I am here simply because Zeus, Hades and Hera intend to surplant my rule and loyalty over the folks and creatures of these parts. The only way this can be accomplished is by the deaths of myself and Hermione." Persephone drew away from the cubicle, a snake of water ran off her already swelling chin.
"What has Hera got to do with all of this?" It was Greaves who asked the question.
Persephone regarded the foolish looking man with a mixture of amusement and incredulity.
"It has been a long time since someone questioned me without introduction. I assume by this waif like buttercups arrogant demeanour that he has been in your company too long Belial." PErsephone breathed. "But he seems not so much of a demon as an usurper from Jehovahs realm."
"Nevertheless his question still stands. I would explain yourself and tell me what has been going on before I knock you out, take you upstairs and let the olympian hyenas have their fill of you." Belial sat up and stared levelly at Persephone.
Persephone sat down next to Belial and began her story.

Sapphire Eyes
The day went on in the same way it had begun. I spent most of it talking to Mark. We covered most of both our weeks in those few hours. I told him how my hamster, Hudson, had escaped from his cage and I'd had to set out a trail of sunflower seeds to catch him. He was telling me how he had managed to convince his drama class into doing a production of 'Romeo And Juliet' instead of 'Hamlet'. "You should totally audition Petra, you're very dramatic sometimes" He said jokingly. I thought about this for a minute, my first reaction was NO but then I did need something to take my mind off Alex and Felicity. "You know what, I think I just might" I said smiling triumphantly. "Wow, really?" Mark said dumbstruck. "Yeah, when's it all going on" I asked, a little disappointed he had so little faith in me. "Auditions are after school on Monday, in the art room" Mark answered. "Then I shall be there" I said.
It was getting late now, I looked at my phone "6:42pm", my curfew was 7:00pm, I should get home. "Wow guys, it got late fast, I best be making my way back" I said trying to sound disappointed. "Ill take you back, it's only 15 minutes off my route anyway" Mark said. Slightly surprised at this offer, I replied, "Oh that's nice of you, OK great. Bye then guys". The rest of the group turned and said goodbye to the two of us. Me and Mark walked to the bus stop and waited. "So what do you make of Felicity?" Mark asked, an undertone of worry in his voice. "She seems...nice" I replied trying to smile. "Don't be silly Pet, her and Alex were all over each other" Mark said annoyed. "Oh I know Mark, and I don't what I can do about it, I mean she's so pretty and funny and he's totally in love with her too" I said exploding and putting my head on Mark's shoulder. Mark hugged me just as the bus arrived. We climbed on and went upstairs. There was only one seat on the deck so naturally I gestured for Mark to sit down, he shook his head and told me to. After a minute in deadlock he sat down, "Ha, I am victorious" I said happily. But not for long, Mark grabbed me and sat me down on his lap, "Ha, now it's square" he said sticking his tongue out at me. What Mark had done was strange, we'd never been this close, lap sitting, hugging, this was almost couple behaviour. "No way was this going to continue" I thought to myself angrily. My stop was next, "My call" I said to Mark getting up off his lap. "OK then, Bon Voyage Petra, seeya Monday" he said waving. "Mm yeah, bye Mark" I replied not meeting his big Sapphire eyes.

Power Corrupts
Alexander sat by Gwendolyn's side through out the entire session, even when Gwendolyn slept so that she would not notice any pain. When the doctor finally left, Alex let out a sigh and he stared at the face of his wife. She looked content, at peace. And for a brief moment, Alexander was filled with envy.
He stood up and kissed her gently on the lips. "I'll be back soon. I'm just going to check up on the others."
He stepped out of the room and began to walk down the hallway when suddenly he felt a presence. "Who's there? Show yourself!"
"My, my, my... the legendary Black Knight, said to be the mightiest enforcer of Lord Pelaster's rule, reduced to a simpering child at the thought of his wife suffering... how pathetic..."The voice was cold, cruel, but oddly enough, familiar. Alexander couldn't place who's voice it was, but for some reason he knew that voice.
"Where are you?!"
"You mean you've forgotten? Was it not I who gave you the power you now wield with such terrifying might, when you were born with no talent at all?"
"No... not Arkham... the man is nothing more than a fool playing at being God. Such an utterly wretched man he is."
"I don't understand... just who are you?"
"I guess you are still deaf to my voice. My words will not reach you. But in your most desperate hour, when you have lost all hope... I'll be there, whispering in your ear, and I will give you purpose." With that, the presence vanished.
Somehow, Alex had fallen to his knees, and was sweating profusely. "What... what... what just happened? What was that? I don't understand..."
He stood up and wiped the sweat from his brow. "Ugh... how annoying. Well... may as well check up on Derrick."
