No more trading for you, Vishnu





Attempt to open accounts in deities' names
Court says gods for temples not trading
Would be difficult to take action against them
AN Indian court has ruled that Hindu gods cannot deal in stocks and shares, after an application for trading accounts to be set up in their names.

Two judges at the Bombay High Court yesterday rejected a petition from a private religious trust to open accounts in the names of five deities, including the revered elephant-headed god, Ganesha.

"Trading in shares on the stock market requires certain skills and expertise and to expect this from deities would not be proper," judges P.B. Majumdar and Rajendra Sawant said, according to Indian newspapers.

The trust, owned by the former royal family of Sangli, in western Maharashtra state, of which Mumbai is the capital, brought the case after successfully securing income tax cards and savings accounts for the deities.

But National Securities Depository Limited rejected the trust's application for permission to open trading accounts, arguing that it would be difficult to take action against the gods in the event of irregularities.


"Gods and goddesses are meant to be worshipped in temples, not dragged into commercial activities like share trading," the judges said.

Ganesha, also known as Lord Ganpati, is one of the most popular and well-known gods of the Hindu pantheon and is worshipped widely in Mumbai and Maharashtra.

Project 365??

I know it is a little late in the year to start Project 365...since it is like.....JULY....
but I wanted to give it a shot anyway...
So my question is...
Does anyone know who started this,
and how you link up????

Beach Days!


This is the ONE of two days we managed to get to the beach this summer...
The weather has been completely un-copperative...
Normally we are there every chance we get!
The kids had fun any way!
Although I did end up having to jump in the lake
with all my clothes on, after Gracie fell in....






Daddy and Jeremy always build big sand castles at the beach.
It's their thing to do...



This is Gracie AFTER she fell head first into the lake, 
and I had to jump in and rescue her...
 I couldn't believe the grown man next to her,
Who stood there watching her not able to swim, 
head under water, and DIDN'T grab her!!!




The finished product complete with mote..






Before leaving the beach...
tradition says, that the boy has to sit VIOLENTLY
on each sand castle he has built that day....LOL!

Rocco Fiorentino

 This young man may not be able to see, but God has given him an amazing gift in his voice...
I saw him for the first time on Sesame street, where they like to create understanding for people with disabilities..
What an amazing musician and a very strong jazz singer.... right up my alley....
As far as I can see Rocco Fiorentino, a 13 year old blind teen from New Jersey sure isn't disabled!
Have a listen....it is worth it!


What to do after camp is set up...


 After the tent is set up,
you just have to try out the bedding...  :)


 Setting up the tent was hard work...
A man's gotta eat...




Look at the mischief in those eyes...
It is always there...
I am in soooo much trouble...
