Hundreds of the Occupy Wall Street protesters marched to 1 Police Plaza in New York Friday evening—the largest crowd so far in the days-long demonstration that has centered on everything from financial greed to the Afghan War. The march to police headquarters, located about a half mile from the downtown park where the protesters have gathered, kicked off around 5:30 p.m. as demonstrators yelled, "End the war!" and "Tax the rich!" before settling down in silence when they arrived at 1 Police Plaza and camping out. The demonstration grew in size after 80 people were arrested last Saturday and video surfaced online of police using pepper spray on the protesters. There were even rumors Friday that the band Radiohead would perform, although those rumors were shot down by the evening.

Wayne Rooney says Manchester United are learning to play the Barcelona way in order to beat them.

The Catalans have been widely lauded for their slick tiki-taka passing, but Rooney believes it is Barca's ability to defend as a unit which has made them such a fearsome force.

"I think when you watch Barcelona a lot of people go on about their passing and the skills and how they keep the ball," Rooney said at a launch event for FIFA 12.

"But, for me, when they lose the ball, how quickly they all defend and try and win the ball back, that's the biggest asset they've got I think.

"They win it back so many times in the opponents' half and attack from there, so we [...]

The morning arrives, and Daksh as usual is sitting alone at the dining table. The doting mother rushes back and forth from the kitchen table to the dining table, and places a mug of coffee on his table and tells him, she will bring his breakfast. She brings a plate of beaten rice, and serves him. Daksh does not look up, but takes the mug and raises it to his mouth, and as he takes the first sip, he looks to his side, and sees a smiling Naina, and he is pleased and drinks the coffee. Again when he looks at Naina, she is not there, and he feels depressed. Later he gets up and goes, and his mother notices and says, "Chintu, you have not had your breakfast" but he does not pay attention to his mother.

This serial may have appeared to have gone off the track, but now I realize that they intended it, just to wrench our hearts, at the degree to which certain people can go to get their ends, and when people live in their own worlds, not realizing what happens elsewhere or in other people's minds, we get into situations like these, and perhaps that was the intention of the producers who have maintained their high production quality throughout, to draw our attention to this fact, that they have introduced characters like Rohini and Sonakshi. Even her own parents, are shown to be living in a dream world, while their daughter is taking a devious path.

The scene shifts to the peaceful surroundings of Darjeeling. Anjali is in her room, and her maid, Radha goes to call her for the meals, and she tells her to serve herself, as she will wait for Naina who has not yet come back, even as it is turning dark, and the sun is setting in the mountains. Naina wrapped up in a shawl, is gently walking along the hilly countryside, env [...]

Navaratri 2009 Day 7 - Kalaratri - Sri Swami Vishwananda

Excerpt of Sri Swami Vishwanandas reading about the seventh form of Divine mother of Navaratri called Kalaratri and an interpretation of his. During Navaratri, one invokes the energy aspect of God in the form of the universal mother, referred to as "Durga" which literally means the remover of miseries of life. She is also referred to as "Devi" (goddess) or "Shakti" (energy or power). It is this energy, which helps God to proceed with the work of creation, preservation and destruction. The Divine Mother goes by the name Kali, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Mother Mary and many other names. Why Worship the Mother Goddess?: The mother is the creative aspect of the absolute. The creative life energy is a form of the Divine Mother, who is the mother of all, and all of us are her children. "Why mother; why not father?" God's glory, his cosmic energy, his greatness and supremacy can best be depicted as the motherhood aspect of God. Just as a child finds all these qualities in his or her mother, similarly, many of us look upon God as mother.
