Consider your essence as light rays from center to center up the vertebrae, and so rises "livingness" in you.
Or in the spaces between, feel this as lightning.
Feel the cosmos as a translucent ever-living presence.
Man can be considered in three ways: in terms of the normal, the abnormal and the supernormal. Western psychology is basically concerned with the abnormal, the pathological, with the man who has fallen down from the normal, who has fallen down from the norm. Eastern psychology, Tantra and Yoga, consider man from the standpoint of the supernormal - of the one who has gone beyond the norm. Both are abnormal. One who is pathological is abnormal because he is not healthy, and one who is supernormal is abnormal because he is more healthy than any normal human being. The difference is of negative and positive.
Western psychology developed as part of psychotherapy. Freud, Jung, Adler and other psychologists were treating the abnormal man, the man who is mentally ill. Because of this the whole Western attitude towards man has become erroneous. Freud was studying pathological cases. Of course, no healthy man would go to him - only those who were mentally ill. They were studied by him, and because of that study he thought that now he understood man. Pathological men are not really men, they are ill, and anything based on a study of them is bound to be deeply erroneous and harmful. This has proved harmful because man is looked at from a pathological standpoint. If a particular state of mind is chosen and that state is ill, pathological, then the whole image of man becomes disease-based. Because of this attitude, the whole Western society has fallen down - because the ill man is the base, the perverted has become the foundation.
And if you study only the abnormal, you cannot conceive of any possibility of supernormal beings. A buddha is impossible for Freud, not conceivable. He must be fictitious, mythological. A buddha cannot be a reality. Freud has only come in contact with ill men who are not even normal, and whatsoever he says about normal man is based on the study of abnormal man. It is just like a physician who is doing a study. No healthy man will go to him, there is no need. Only unhealthy people will go. By studying so many unhealthy people, he creates a picture in his mind of man, but that picture cannot be of man. It cannot be because man is not only illnesses. And if you base your concept of man on illnesses, the whole society will suffer.


text: The District Attorney responsible for prosecuting the heroin and pot possession case of Jon Bon Jovi's daughter Stephanie, has dropped the charges against them. Because of an amendment to the penal code that was enacted back in 2011, anyone who calls for help because of a drug or alcohol emergency can't be prosecuted if police find a small amount of drugs in their possession. It is to encourage people to call and get help rather than be scared of getting help because they will end up in jail. Her boyfriend, who had also been charged, called police because Stephanie had overdosed on heroin. She was alive in her dorm room when paramedics arrived and was rushed to the hospital, where she remained as of yesterday.

2010 Kentucky Derby
I wrote a few months back about a little horse that ran in Saratoga last summer. The horse's name is Dublin and he won that race. I also speculated that he would run in the Kentucky Derby, which is being held tomorrow. Dublin is certainly running tomorrow, one in a big field of 20. Well I just checked the current odds and it seems like Dublin will need a bit of the "Luck of the Irish" because he is currently 20-1. Current favorite…Lookin at Lucky. Seems as though there might be a lot of "lucky" running around Churchill Downs tomorrow.

Project DescriptionSite The southernmost property on the Hawk, a point at the far tip of Cape Sable Island in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Program A 1,200-square-foot single-family residence in a bird sanctuary, which had to be designed to tread lightly on the land.
Solution This single-family house has two distinct formal and spatial components. A 70-foot-long horizontal bar stands 8 feet tall and sits astride raised piers, which were put in place to minimize the footprint on the sensitive site. This bar is anchored at one end by a 24-foot-tall, 10-foot-wide tower that provides the house's vertical element. Westmount, Quebec–based architect Andrew King's goal of focusing these two architectural lenses on the region's archetypal landscape of ocean, ground, sky, and horizon impressed the jurors. "This is a well-conceived, well-articulated idea," juror Brad Lynch said. "In terms of the relationship to the topography of the site and the simplicity of it and the juxtaposition of it, somebody knows what he's doing."
The timber structure is clad in concrete panels and aluminum grating. A grated-aluminum deck extending from the house toward the horizon is bisected by vertical sheets of glass framed by 2x8 studs. These transparent layers are aligned to create a slotted view to the sea. The jurors admired the embrace of industrial materials and the radical pragmatism of its undefined, multipurpose interior spaces. Juror Joseph Rosa saw its simple typology as an escape from everyday cluttered existence. "It harkens back to the classic houses by [Marcel] Breuer and [Walter] Gropius," he said. "You just turn the key and go in."

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — What a perfect surprise for two "almost teens:" A day trip to Bellingham and an Old Navy shopping spree.
A video camera recorded the scene. Two 12-year-olds, Sky Amethyst Capes and Makena Welsh, walked with bouncy confidence from their dressing rooms. They smiled, waved and executed model-like 360-degree turns to show off their new outfits.
Near the end of the 13-minute video that documents their trip, Sky, perhaps by degree slightly more of a stage ham, shows off an orange polka dot dress she's wearing.
"Is this cute or what?" she asks. As she turns to walk away from the camera, she gives a casual behind-the-back wave with her left hand and signs off with: "See ya boys!"
The video was made to help Sky and Makena, both sixth-graders at Cedar Way Elementary School, gain confidence and prepare for what can be the turbulent transition to middle school.
Both have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Children with this type of autism typically have average to above average intellect, but can have difficulty with social interactions.
"There's been times when my friends who have kids Sky's age … will exclude her from activities," said Coral Blankinship, Sky's mom. "She won't be invited. They don't understand her."
Makena's mom, Shaela Welsh, said that although her daughter has difficulties with reading and writing, she's in the top 5 percent of her class in math.
"Socially, they get frustrated," she said. "They're the ones that never get paired up. Asperger's kids are bullied? It's a very stressful thing."
Both moms said they worry about their daughters' upcoming introduction to middle school.
Middle school "was very tough on me and I didn't have autism," Blankinship said.
"Focusing on their transition to middle school, for typical kids it's huge, for Asperger's kids it's traumatizing," Welsh said.
The trip to Bellingham, which also included facials and salon haircuts, was documented by an online, Seattle-based production company, Talk It Up TV. It's one of a series of mini-documentaries produced by the company on topics as varied as human trafficking, a surprise birthday party for a homeless child and children recovering from burns.
Anny Havland, the show's host for the nonprofit show, said she wanted to work on video projects that are "an outlet for everyday life experiences and random acts of kindness."
The segment on Sky and Makena is called "Building Confidence With Autism."
The project evolved from a volunteer at Cedar Way who worked with both the girls. The woman, Lil Labourr, works in a program called Pet Partners to assist children diagnosed with autism. She uses her dog, Peanut, as a social icebreaker to discuss subjects such as hygiene, clothing and healthy eating.
Labourr also knew Havland and asked her to speak to the Sky and Makena's class. From there, Havland decided she wanted to do the online show on autism.
"They're bright, smart, girls," Labourr said. "They have sensory issues sometimes where they put clothing on and it doesn't feel right. Choosing clothing that's fashionable might be harder for them."
For Makena, it meant she hadn't worn jeans since the first grade, her mom said.
Their next stop was at the Toni &Guy salon for haircuts and some spa touches.
"They showed her how to use products on her face," Welsh said. "She has done it every day since then. I owe these people!"
Sky said her favorite part of participating in the video was getting her hair done.
"I loved being in the video," she said. "I thought it was awesome."
She said she hopes that people who watch the video will come to understand "that autism people are really good people and?they just have trouble with communication. They need to understand the disability and get to know them more and not just see them as an autistic person."
Her mom said that after her trip to Bellingham, Sky has paid more attention to color coordinating her clothes and she's doing a better job of getting herself ready in the morning. "It's had a positive impact on her."
Marlaina Capes, Sky's stepmom, said a recent text from Sky showed another, unexpected effect, a big social step forward.
"I'm going to go to a skating party with my mainstream class!" it began. "Some of the girls?asked me to hang out with them at the party. I can't wait!"

'"I think it's very positive to know the organization has grown," Biron said. "Golisano bought that team out of bankruptcy for $90-something million. He turns around and sells it for 180-plus. That shows how valuable that franchise is, and how important that franchise is, and that the people in Buffalo support it."'

The business of doing good: How to manage your non-profit's finances (Part 3)
Recently, UMB hosted a group of almost 40 representatives from Colorado Springs non-profits to talk about a variety of financial management tips for non-profit organizations. In my previous blog posts I highlighted two topics that came up during the conversation: streamlined fundraising processes and supporter/employee enthusiasm. The third subject we discussed was the idea that non-profits need a bank that acts as an extension of the organization.
Most people probably don't automatically make the connection between a bank and a non-profit, but the two organizations can work together to create a productive partnership. An important part of the support non-profits need to thrive is the relationship they have with their bank. Since funding is the primary way to ensure that the non-profit can continue to operate, good financial management is key. A strong relationship between a non-profit and their bank may give the staff peace of mind and help them to focus on doing good things for their community and less about their financial management.
Some challenges that non-profits face include getting sufficient funding, board and associate development and staff retention. Your bank may be able to direct you to resources that can help you overcome these challenges:
- Estate planning education
- Planned giving development‡
- Board training‡
- Donor development assistance‡
- Non-profit best practice forums‡
A good relationship with your bank can also help your organization achieve a sound financial structure. In addition to keeping the organization up and running, a solid balance sheet could help attract new leadership to your organization. One of our non-profit clients came to us with a potential board member who was interested in joining the organization's investment board. The potential board member was passionate about the organization but concerned about their investment risk management. After talking with UMB and the non-profit leadership about the investment risk, he was no longer worried and joined the board because he could focus on his passion for the organization.
Non-profits offer many invaluable services to their communities. While these organizations differ from for-profit businesses in their mission and goals, they have the same business principles. Treating the financial management of a non-profit like a business helps the organization in the long run because they're able to focus on serving the needs of their community.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
The slummiest of slums, Fern's is a dive bar for the punk-rock crowd. The tatted—yet gorgeous—bartenders in this dark, dreary spot won't take any shit, but they will pour you a massive Pabst on tap. Keeping with the scuzzy awesomeness of this place, the bands who play are all of the same genre: loud, terrible and no one you've ever heard of before. Fern's décor is standard: Aside from the pool tables and sticky high-top tables, the most visually interesting elements are painted on the walls. Our favorite is the nude satyr woman with the phrase "I Fuckin' Did It!" scrawled above her lashing tongue and frosty pint of beer. Warning: The flavored-condom machine in the women's restroom (which is painted highlighter pink) will totally eat your money.
Located steps from the sand in beautiful Newport Beach, Mutt Lynchs is a local bar and restaurant known both for its bomb breakfast and extensive beer selection, the latter of which is served in 32-ounce schooners (remember your wrist brace—they're heavy). Sit down at one of the old wooden tables carved with the initials of past patrons and stare out the windows at the blue waters of the Pacific while being served by the cute waitstaff. It's a Southern California bar with classic beach style. It's the perfect location for a drunken Sunday, Sunday brunch, or both (if you get down like that).
This joint has all of the elements that make a great neighborhood bar. Heavy pours, reasonable prices, pool tables, a smoking patio, a jukebox and some TVs. It's dim enough that you don't have to worry about that nasty forehead zit. It's large enough to handle a decent-sized crowd of your friends for when your significant other dumps you and you just can't be alone that night. It has plenty of parking, and it's close to some fast-food restaurants. It's also near the freeway, so your designated driver doesn't have to spend any more time in the car with your drunk ass than necessary. Sure, there's no burly doorman to assess your wardrobe. There's no bathroom attendant to dry your hands. And we can almost guarantee that Paris Hilton won't show up when you're there. Oh, wait, these aren't drawbacks at all.
While bright-green shamrocks on the walls and traditional Irish appetizers may not scream "ideal place to hang out," Patsy's Irish Pub in Laguna Niguel is just that. Not to be confused with its more rustic counterpart in Mission Viejo, this cozy little public house really is a great place to kick back with some friends on a Friday night. The Irish theme is there (shamrocks, brightly lit green-neon signs, Emerald Isle faves on the menu), but this bar does it so tastefully that the clichés fade into the background—especially once you've had a drink or two. For $5, you get a great selection of beer, a welcoming atmosphere and the warm feeling of comfort that only comes when alcohol is mixed with Irish hospitality.
Though this venue opened just last year, the place has already earned quite a reputation as one of most happening bars in the county. Located in the Artists Village of up-and-coming Santa Ana, Proof caters not only to the county's hipsters, but also to the plain ol' cats as well. Depending on the night, you can hear any of a variety of musical flavors being spun by featured DJs. While getting your groove on to those rockin' tunes and sipping your vodka tonic, you might as well ogle the bare-breasted artwork that adorns the otherwise-spare, industrial-looking walls. Don't fret, gals, there's something for you there, too—the ladies' room proudly displays pictures of male packages tightly wrapped in denim. Whew! Is it getting hot in here, or is it just us? Good thing you can head out to the brickwork back patio to chill out.
Long Beach's Que Sera is known for its strong drinks and friendly bartenders, its sweet laser-bathed dance floor, and its regular club nights: Sucka Free Sundays, Call Sick on Friday, Mannequin, Release the Bats and, of course, the legendary Goodfoot (which could pack a venue thrice the size of the Que). With an extraordinarily eclectic lineup of live acts to choose from, almost anyone can feel comfortable at Que Sera, depending on what night they go. The stage is divided enough from the bar so that if the music isn't to your liking, you have a spot to get away to and enjoy your drink—and it's right across the street from a creepy 7-Eleven for post-drunk snackage.

January 24, 2014
By Juan Forero, Mobile Financial Services & Commercial Manager, Grameen Foundation
Though mobile phones and other technologies hold great promise for improving lives in poor, rural communities, there is still debate about how they can best be used to improve agricultural and rural development. Last November, Grameen Foundation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) hosted an e-forum to discuss some of the central successes and challenges of emerging and established technologies. The result was a timely dialogue that will inform discussions at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS+10) Summit, to be held in Egypt this year.[1]
Throughout the wide-ranging exchange, several key topics came to the fore that deserve closer scrutiny in 2014: the influence of measurement, the impact of gender, and the role of public-private partnerships.
You Can't Control what you Can't Measure
When it comes to understanding the impact of ICT4Ag (information and communications technologies for agriculture), measurement is an essential factor in planning for success. Recent technological developments, such as the increased use of mobile phone technology and applications by those living on less than $2.00 USD/day, combined with public data or open-data sharing platforms like GODAN (Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition), are changing the way productivity and profitability are measured and communicated in agriculture. Now the focus is not only on effectively using the data which mobile technology can capture but doing so in a transparent and scalable fashion.
Questions about how to create applicable targets for monitoring progress and how to use technology intelligently continue to impact measurement. As Whitney Gantt, a program manager with Grameen Foundation in Colombia pointed out, "analyzing usage by product or content area (e.g. cattle diseases vs. chilling hub services) can help programs zero in on where to focus new content and services."
Overall, there is a risk that a surplus of data, which does not receive proper analysis, might result in technology being seen as an ineffective tool. There are several challenges presented by data analysis and its potential may be hindered by obstacles like the definition of clear and focused indicators and the sector-wide overdependence on output indicators (rather than on outcomes). For example, the use of mobile technologies has expanded data collection and transparency to previously isolated rural areas resulting in even large quantities of data available for analysis. Grameen Foundation's vice president for information services, Hillary Miller-Wise suggested that through strategic use of data, agricultural initiatives could better understand the connection between productivity, farmer income and technology. More in-depth analysis, like randomized controlled trials and those with an ICT focus, such as the LIRNEasia's Teleuse@BOP studies, which define demand for, and use of these technologies by those at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP), could assist in establishing causality and measuring relevant indicators. Indicators like those that value chain players are focused on, are more conducive to reaching the goals of increased profitability and productivity for farmers.
Purposeful and cost-effective measurement, exemplified by the Progress out of Poverty Index case study and the BoP Impact Assessment Framework, can enhance the use of technology in smallholder farming. Ultimately, the shift away from massive output data towards more instructive and specific indicators requires a greater financial investment by donors and stakeholder commitment to collaborating with more experienced sectors (such as industry) in order to improve ICT4Ag practices at different levels of agricultural organizational models.
The Gender Factor
Another key area is engaging with those value chain stakeholders, who may traditionally be excluded from participation based on gender, age, disability, or poverty. Recently, gender mainstreaming has become a benchmark of development policy and gender equality has made considerable progress. However, as in other sectors, the implications of cross-cutting factors like gender, especially in developing countries, may affect the use and efficiency of ICT. For example, traditional cultural values may discourage women from using mobile telephones (as highlighted by Grameen Foundation and GSMA studies on this topic) or a lack of gender specific communications strategies may exclude women from accessing ICT services.
Keeping in mind the cultural dimension of gender, technology, along with relevant performance indicators and organizational models, could tackle issues at all stages of strategic planning and execution. By collaborating on initiatives that are regionally focused and culturally sensitive, the promotion of gender equality in agriculture becomes linked to productivity and sustainability.
In countries such as Colombia, women comprise a significant portion of smallholder farmers, yet their vision of agricultural production is based on family, not gender. Using a human-centred design approach and experience from Uganda, Grameen Foundation's Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) program in Antioquia analyzes individual needs. This approach to product design works to safeguard against homogenizing users, especially women. By using behavior data, mobile financial products offered through the CKW program promote equality and sustainability because they are tailored to individual demand.
Strategic Partners
During the forum, Gerald Sylvester, Knowledge & Information Management Officer for FAO Asia-Pacific asserted that, "the key to successful initiatives lies in making effective partnerships." While the focus of e-Agriculture remains the use of technology, face-to-face, multi-stakeholder partnerships are indispensible. These partnerships intersect all value chain activities and facilitate multi-modal delivery of agricultural services. As with gender, public-private to farmer-institution relationships depends on establishing trust, accountability, confidence and clear expectations.
An important recommendation for 2014 is the need to capitalize on private sector and government telecommunications expertise in order to support ICT4Ag in development. In Colombia, Grameen Foundation has partnered with MANÁ, Antioquia's regional food security agency, to use the foundation's TaroWorks™ mobile tool as a means of increasing the food security of 17,000 rural poor householders, specifically women. This partnership exemplifies the capacity of mobile technology and gender specific programs to improve agriculture practices by reducing errors in data collection, increasing the quality of information gathered, and providing the first real-time indicators that can allow families and farmers to be more productive and ultimately more food secure.
MANÁ and Grameen Foundation plan to support this strategy by profiling the capacity of family and smallholder farming to improve food security and nutrition, achieve sustainable development and manage natural resources, as well as to eradicate hunger and poverty.
Moving Forward Towards Better Agriculture
An increased focus on e-agriculture comes as the world recognizes 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming (as designated by the United Nations). The application of ICT to challenges in agricultural development must be tempered by holistic thinking: though technology can improve measurement of outputs and outcomes and assist in creating gender equality and building strategic partnerships, by itself it is not enough. By utilizing ICT in combination with other approaches, like traditional technology (radio) and personal relationship building, more can be achieved.
Based on Grameen Foundation's experience using ICT as a tool for development and agriculture, especially in Uganda and Colombia, it is evident that technology, especially that which improves connection and communication, can augment human-centred strategy in order improve the lives of rural smallholder farmers and reduce poverty. This year is an exciting time to participate in in the ICT4Ag movement and make an impact on agriculture worldwide.

NeNe Leakes gets engaged to ex-husband
(Yahoo!) - On Thursday night's "Late Show With Jimmy Fallon," NeNe Leakes made the big announcement that she is engaged to her ex-husband, Gregg Leakes. After the host ribbed her about all the romantic photos she had posted on Twitter on New Year's Eve – including a trail of red rose petals leading to a bedroom! – NeNe giggled and admitted, "Well, a little after midnight, I was asked this beautiful question: 'Will you marry me – again?'"
Although the "New Normal" actress, 44, was not wearing a ring during the interview, naturally she said, "Yes!"
And her closest co-star is just as happy for them. "Now I can officially congratulate my girl @NeNeLeakes & Greg on their engagement,"tweeted Cynthia Bailey, who renewed her own vows this season, with NeNe and Gregg, 58, in attendance. "Love u guys."
Fans of the Bravo series have watched the couple grow closer this past season after their painful split in 2011. Although NeNe was shown on dates with another suitor who lavished her with a Rolex on one occasion, her heart always seemed to be with her ex-husband as she agonized over signing the divorce papers. But this current season it's been all about Gregg, who clearly was working hard to win his ex-wife back … and it looks like his persistence paid off!
NeNe and Gregg, who first met in 1996 when she was an exotic dancer in Georgia, have a 13-year-old son Brentt. NeNe also has a son Bryson, 22, from a previous relationship.

That's an amazing statement."

But it's possible to make your own.
When you click the button set focus on a list control (which is hidden unless focused) which contains the choices. When a choice is selected set focus back to the button which displays the string you picked.

Hi, Hitcher Thanks for Help.
I tried your suggestion , I put one list control (with two choices) just below a button with following condition:
<visible>Control.HasFocus(4) | Control.HasFocus(5) </visible>
where 4 is id of button & 5 is id of the list control. when I move mouse over button the list becomes visible otherwise not visible. This is ok but I want to that list should be visible when I click on the button not just focus,
so what should be the condition in <visible> ?? </visible> of list control ?
And when I click on a choice of the list control the action is performed which I have written in
<onclick> ... </onclick>
but the label of the above button should also be changed as with selected choice label & list should become invisible.
So how can I do that?
Please HELP Thank You.

Add <visible allowhiddenfocus="true">Control.HasFocus(5)</visible> to the list control. To your button add <onclick>SetFocus(5)</onclick>.
To your list items add <onclick>SetString(choice,label of the item)</onclick>. You can display the string with $INFO[Skin.String(choice)].

Oh Thank You `Black its working !!
Ah but it tricked me !!
I move the mouse to the button & click it so it fires : SetFocus(5) means list becomes visible , then I move my mouse pointer to point to the list , in the mid time the button again gains the focus & list becomes invisible.
How can I resolve the issue ?
Thanks for Help .

Oh thank goodness, it's the last episode of "Under the Dome." The series started out so well and was so interesting. And then it all fell apart. Every week Big Jim did something bad. Someone else was killed. We never really found out much of the back story for, well, anyone, least of all the dome.
So here we are, hoping everything – something- wraps up in one hour. Barbie has been blamed for lots of murders other people committed. Julia has dragged herself out of her sick bed to save Barbie. The butterfly above the little dome has hatched and keeps smashing into the walls of the dome. The little dome is going black and so is the big dome.
Sheriff Linda won't let anyone touch the dome but her, but when Linda touches the dome, she gets thrown across the room.
Julia insists on seeing Barbie. She lets him out of jail and, although his hands are handcuffed, he miraculously beats everyone up and escapes.
Now Norrie, Angie, Joe and Junior put their hands on the little dome. The light! the light! Then the little dome exploded and the butterfly is mostly dead. No! It's alive! alive! It's flying!
It flies to Barbie (still in handcuffs) and pronounces him the monarch. Or does it? When the egg starts freaking out, Julia picks it up and all the shaking stops. She's the real monarch.
Big Jim is preaching to a group of worried people. Didn't get give this "faith in us" speech last week?
Junior tries to steal the egg but the others run away with it. Then Junior gets in a fight with Barbie again. And Big Jim goes to his late wife's gallery where he sees lots of pictures of the egg.
Norrie asks the egg what it wants them to do and she sees her dead mom. Except it's not her mom, it's an alien–or something. The alien (or something) says the dome was sent to protect the town and they must earn the light by protecting the egg. If they fail to protect the egg, everyone dies.
Barbie is back in jail. Big Jim wants to know about the egg. Now Jim is building gallows to hang Barbie unless Julia hangs over the egg.
Big Jim tells Junior that his mom's death was destiny. Jim tells Junior he only killed people when they really really needed to be dead. Jim wants to rule the world with Junior.
They start to hang Barbie, and Julia drops the egg in the lake while holding Barbie's dogtags. Suddenly pink stars start shooting toward the sky. And then they start falling back toward the ground. Big Jim is yelling at Junior to let Barbie hang, Junior isn't doing it.
And…The End. Because it's been renewed for Season 2 and Stephen King is writing the first episode. Please let it be more satisfying then this hanging participle.
What did you think of the season? The ending? Tell us in the comments.

Photo gallery: Ontario home where 3 men were killed
ONTARIO - Police officers earlier this week maintained that 20 pounds of marijuana was seized from a house where two of three men were discovered dead in a triple homicide Monday.
That is not the case.
Family members said Brandon Perez, who resided in the back house of the property in the 1000 block of Magnolia Avenue in Ontario, was not a drug dealer. The drugs, they said, came from a storage area shared by Perez and the homeowners who lived in another house on the property.
Ontario police officials on Friday have confirmed the statements by the Perez family.
"It seems that the drugs and cultivating equipment came from a storage area that was shared by the renter, Brandon Perez and the homeowners," Sgt. David McBride said.
Several calls to the property owner - Tim Mullis, Sr. of Upland - have not been returned.
Perez was one of three men who died in the home invasion robbery early Monday.
Police officers discovered a dead man about 6:15 a.m. with a gunshot wound lying in a driveway.
In a residence in the back of the property, officers discovered Perez and another man dead from gunshot wounds.
Upland resident Steven Carter pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder during an arraignment Wednesday afternoon in West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga. Carter, 34, also denied special allegations of use of a firearm and gang involvement during a crime.
Another man, Michael Andre Hall, 23, of Upland, was arrested without incident at about 9:30 a.m. Friday at his home in the 1000 block of West Springfield Street.
Perez's family stand by their statements that he is a victim.
Perez was a legal assistant for the of Law Offices of Nolan F. King, a criminal defense attorney in Upland. He was also King's stepson.
"There's no way those drugs were his," King said.
"He worked at my office every day. He put in long hours and when he wasn't working he was being a good dad to his daughter."
In an email Wednesday, Perez's sister, Elizabeth Suarez, said that her brother was a gainfully employed paralegal and a devoted father.
"No drugs have been linked to him," Suarez said. "He worked so much. He was never home."
Suarez said the lead detective on the case called her mother and told her that the reports of drugs being taken from the home were incorrect.
But police officers stood by their statement Wednesday that the marijuana as well as cultivating equipment were taken from Perez's house following the homicide.
"This case is getting so much attention that we get briefed by detectives several times a day," McBride said in a Wednesday phone interview. "The circumstances released are facts, not conjecture."
Police are still investigating this incident.
Anyone with information about the suspects or the incident can call Detective Gary Naranjo at 909-395-2764.

Richard Willingham and Judith Ireland
Published: November 23, 2012 - 4:00PM
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has accused Tony Abbott of using inflammatory language to stoke fears about asylum seekers.
"It's meant to cause fear and concern in communities," she told reporters in Melbourne on Friday.
Ms Gillard said that Australia faced a "challenge" with asylum seekers but there was no place in the debate for inflammatory language.
The Opposition leader has unveiled plans to reduce Australia's humanitarian intake by more than 6000 from 20,0000, to 13,750, which he says would save Australia $1.3 billion over four years.
Earlier Immigration Minister Chris Bowen had labelled Mr Abbott's push to slash the intake as a ''backflip'' that would disappoint African and Middle Eastern communities who wanted to see refugees in camps settled here.
In August, the Gillard government announced it would increase Australia's annual humanitarian intake from 13,750 to 20,000, and then to 27,000 within five years.
During negotiations with the crossbenchers in June, Mr Abbott also offered to increase the intake to 20,000 over three years, to try and to get support for Coalition amendments that would have knocked back the Malaysia solution.
Mr Bowen this morning said Mr Abbott's plan would disappoint the African and Middle Eastern communities who wanted to see people in camps settled here.
Mr Bowen said the plan also had implications for existing programs that the Coalition had supported. The minister cited the government's decision to boost intake from Syria by 1000 places, which was supported by Shadow Immigration Minister Scott Morrison. Mr Bowen said that increase could only occur because of the overall boost.
''Mr Abbott has said the increase sends all the wrong signals to asylum seekers, he just doesn't get it. It sends the right signal,''' Mr Bowen said.
''It sends a signal that there is another way, that you don't have to get on the boat to get a chance at a better life in Australia. That you can, if you are in refugee situation around the world, apply and that there is a path and there is a chance.''
Mr Morrison said that initiatives like the Syrian program would not be affected by the Coalition announcement today.
He said that of the Coalition's 13,750 places, none would be filled by people arriving by boat, with temporary protection visas granted on top of that number.
Mr Abbott told ABC radio on Friday morning: ''We think that with the borders out of control as they are, this is the last message we should be sending to the people smugglers and their customers - that we're making it easier for people to come.''
The coalition would reserve 11,000 of the 13,750 humanitarian visas on offer each year for those waiting in refugee camps.
Mr Abbott is also developing plans for a work-for-the-dole type scheme for working-age holders of bridging visas – he said making refugees work for their welfare would break the ''something for nothing mentality''.
With the government unable to send to Nauru or Manus Island the thousands who continue to arrive by boat, the government will release them into the community but under the same no-advantage conditions as if they were on one of the Pacific islands.
In the interim, they will be given bridging visas which forbid them to work and forbid family reunions, but to help them get by, they will receive about $435 a fortnight in welfare payments.
Mr Abbott said on Thursday that consigning people to welfare for five years was a poor way to prepare them to become citizens.
Mr Abbott said he had run the plan by the coalition's leadership group and was confident the rest of the parliamentary party would support it.
''As you know from time to time on both sides of politics party leaders after consulting their senior colleagues will announce positions that are designed to respond to matters that have come up,'' he told the ABC on Friday.
''It's very similar to policy that we've taken to the last election. I'm confident that would have the overwhelming support of my colleagues.''
Mr Bowen said the ''re-announcement'' of the work-for-the-dole type scheme was ''strong on rhetoric, but short on policy.''
Earlier this morning Mr Abbott was challenged about his repeated use of ''illegal'' to describe people claiming asylum – he said the term had ''perfect legitimacy''.
The official term for people coming by boat is ''irregular maritime arrivals'' or IMAs.
But Mr Abbott insisted they were coming ''the wrong way'' to the country.
''These people are coming to Australia in breach of Australian law, they are illegal arrivals by boat,'' he said.
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said Mr Abbott had swapped his ''dog-whistle for a megaphone'' and proved that he knew nothing on asylum seeker policy and was ''demonising'' refugees.
The South Australian Senator said that reducing the humanitarian intake would drive more people to make dangerous sea journeys.
''There is nothing illegal about seeking asylum in Australia it just shows that he is prepared to do whatever it takes to win the next election on the back of some of these nasty, nasty comments, that are similar to those used, and held by Pauline Hanson,'' Senator Hanson-Young said.
''This is Tony Abbott at the bottom of the barrel scraping his way, and unfortunately Julia GIllard is not far behind.''
Senator Hanson-Young and her colleague Richard Di Natale have introduced legislation for the creation of an independent body to assess the health and mental illness problems in the detention network.
''We are locking them up, we're restraining them, we are doing the sort of things we did to people in the 19th century. It is unacceptable,'' Senator Di Natale said.
The panel has the backing of Amnesty, Human Rights Commission and the Australian Medical Association.
Independent MP Andrew Wilkie said Mr Abbott's plan to reduce the intake was appalling given he offered to increase it during post-election negotiations in 2010.
"It makes a mockery of Tony Abbott's offer to me after the 2010 election to increase the humanitarian intake to 20,000, and the same proposal by the Opposition to Senator Sarah Hanson-Young at the time of Rob Oakeshott's offshore processing bill," Mr Wilkie said.
"Seems the 20,000 figure only suits the Opposition when it's related to its own political self-interest."

FCC Rules Part 15 Section 247 limits Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) with an omnidirectional antenna to 36dBm. Period. You can combine a 30dBm transmitter to a 6dBi antenna, or a 18dBm transmitter to a 18dBi antenna, but you cannot exceed 36dBm EIRP when using an omnidirectional antenna.
There is an allowance for a 1dBm amplifier reduction with a 3dBi of antenna gain only when using a directional antenna, in a point-to-point configuration.. In that case the maximum allowed is a 22dBm (160 mW) transmitter used in conjunction with a 30dBi directional antenna for an EIRP of 160.0W.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Thanks for the clarification on the rules, the cute dBm to watt conversion table did not have an exact reading and never mentioned a directional antenna. So I am 4.2 dB over allowable maximum for a one to one with an omni directional antenna. It is a good thing I am not in the USA to face the ire of the FCC. Also since our transmitter is in a boat we are at times more than 1/2 mile away from any AP's. Anyway, I am not apologizing for solving my own problems with distance on a constantly moving object.
Seriously, it just proves you have to read the source information. In this case the FCC rules are all available online.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Hi guys, I need help to choose an antenna.
At first I tried with the home made-mc giver staff but with really bad results, so I choose to buy a ready made antenna but don't know which one choose!
Don't think I really need too much distance but seeing those models with impressive distance range makes me desire them!
So now I'm stacked and can't choose which one between those
2.4GHz PANEL 20 dBi Antenna
5.8G GRID 27dBi+Lightning Protector-RTNCP-400-15m
Or this one:
+30dBm NextG USB-Yagi High Power WiFi Antenna
This looks great, better performance than the others, easy to use, a cheaper price but I don't like the integrated dongle, I like the idea of using any pci card I want with the other.
So any opinion?

Noted theologian Horsley to deliver Hall lectures
Theologian Richard Horsley of the University of Massachusetts in Boston will give a series of talks under the theme, "Jesus and the Empire," March 25 – 26 for the University of South Carolina's 15th annual Nadine Beacham and Charlton F. Hall Sr. Visiting Lectureship in New Testament and Early Christianity.
All events are free and open to the public.
On Thursday, March 25, Horsley will deliver the major Hall lecture, "Jesus as Exorcist and Healer," at 8 p.m. in the university's campus room of Capstone Hall. Earlier that day, he will speak at 10 a.m. at the 15th Annual Ecumenical Clergy Day for Protestant ministers, Catholic priests and Jewish rabbis at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. The talk is titled "Jesus and the Politics of Roman Palestine."
On March 26, Horsley will give his final lecture at 10 a.m. at the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary in Columbia. The talk is "Jesus and the New World Disorder."
Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and the Study of Religion, Horsley has published 17 books, including "Jesus in Contest: Power, People, and Performance" (2008), which explores a number of interesting questions: What difference did the Roman Empire make for Jesus and his disciples? What difference did the empire make for the broader social currents of which he and they were a part? What social roles did Jesus perform? What "little tradition" did he embody against the "great tradition" of Roman culture? The book addresses these questions and sketches a dramatic new picture of Jesus in light of recent approaches.
In addition to books, Horsley has published articles in numerous journals, including New Testament Studies, Journal of Religion and Harvard Theological Review. He has served as president of the New England region of the Society of Biblical Literature.
The Hall Lectureship, sponsored by the department of religious studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, is held each year the week before Palm Sunday.
