Rama ( IAST rama, Devanagari ???, Khmer ????????, Thai ??????, Lao ??????, Burmese Yama, Tagalog Rajah Bantugan) or Ramachandra[1] is the seventh avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism, [2] and a legendary king of Ayodhya in ancient India. A significant section of Hindus do not doubt his historicity, and consider him an actual king who ruled over a large part of what is now India from his capital Ayodhya. [citation needed]Rama is one of the many popular figures and deities in Hinduism, specifically Vaishnavism and Vaishnava religious scriptures in South and Southeast Asia.[3] Most of the details of Rama's life come from the Ramayana, one of the two great epics of India.[4] Born as the eldest son of Kausalya and Dasharatha, king of Ayodhya, Rama is referred to within Hinduism as Maryada Purushottama,[5] literally the Perfect Man or Lord of Self-Control or Lord of Virtue. Rama is the husband of Sita, whom Hindus consider to be an avatar of Lakshmi and the embodiment of perfect womanhood.[5][6] Rama's life and journey is one of perfect adherence to dharma despite harsh tests of life and time. He is pictured as the ideal man and the perfect human. For the sake of his father's honour, Rama abandons his claim to Kosala's throne to serve an exile of fourteen years in the forest.[7] His wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, being unable to live without Rama, decide to join him, and all three spend the fourteen years in exile together. This leads to the kidnapping of Sita by Ravana, the Rakshasa (Asura) monarch of Lanka. After a long and arduous search that tests his personal strength and virtue, Rama fights a colossal war against Ravana's armies. In a war of powerful and magical beings, greatly destructive weaponry and battles, Rama slays Ravana in battle and liberates his wife. Having completed his exile, Rama returns to be crowned king in Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) and eventually becomes emperor,[7] after which he reigns for eleven thousand years – an era of perfect happiness, peace, prosperity and justice known as Rama Rajya. Rama's courage in searching for Sita and fighting a terrible war to rescue his wife and their honour is complemented by Sita's absolute devotion to her husband's love, and perfect chastity despite being Ravana's captive. Rama's younger brothers, namely Lakshmana, Shatrughna and Bharata strongly complement his piety, virtue and strength,[7] and they are believed by many to belong to the Maryada Purushottama and the Seventh Avatara, mainly embodied by Rama. Rama's piety and virtue attract powerful and devoted allies such as Hanuman and the Vanaras of Kishkindha, with whose help he rescues Sita.[7] The legend of Rama is deeply influential and popular in the societies of the Indian subcontinent and across South East Asia. Rama is revered for his unending compassion,[8] courage and devotion to religious values and duty.

2. Seeking a new job in the 21st Century
November 03, 2009
When I got out of college 12 years ago there was only one traditional way of applying for employment. After combing the classified section of the local paper I would form a list of jobs I was interested in applying for. I recall going to the store to purchase good quality paper with matching envelops and mailing each company I was interested in working for a copy of my resume and cover letter. After a trip to the Post Office, my job was done and the waiting game began. In some rare cases a follow up call to a HR representative at the company was in order to make sure that they have received ... (read more)

3. Satellite Internet - an Investment in Education
November 03, 2009
You wouldn't paint a house with a toothbrush, or cut a tree down with a steak knife, so why would you ever attempt to educate yourself online with a dialup Internet service.

Anyone who has, or is attempting to earn a degree or certification will tell you, education is an investment toward a brighter future. The costs of housing, books, tuition, student loans and supplies have driven more and more students to the Internet.

6. Yankees Back In Familiar Place, First Place That Is
November 01, 2009
Things are finally getting back to normal in Major League Baseball, although the pennant races are tight; the Yankees are in their rightful place right now, having clinched a post-season birth.
There was no big celebration, which I believe is a good sign. It shows that there is a concentration on the next hurdle, which is winning the American League pennant and ultimately the World Series. This hurdle is going to be a difficult one to leap as the archrival Red Sox are playing their best baseball of the season down the stretch. With

10. NFL Red Zone and NFL Sunday Ticket - A Comparison
October 19, 2009
I am proud to call myself a sports fan. I like to watch my favorite teams play each week in their respective sports, and especially come playoff time. But I do however have one concern.
