[FairfieldLife] Selling Futures (was Re: Maharishi on Government, was: Dome total numbers)
So where does GW Bush's dharma as a child of privilege fit into all this? If a demonstrably enlightened dictator took over the USA, that might be nice while he is alive, but will all his descendents be enlightened? The divine right of kings falls apart by the next generation, regardless of how saintly King Arthor himself may be. Exactly. The tragedy of knowledge in action. All true, but IMO the problem is one step further back. The problem with believing that what the world needs is an enlightened dictator is that it's a FANTASY. It's a lot like believing in Sat Yuga. It's putting all one's eggs in a future basket that does not exist, has never existed, and will never exist except as a hope in the minds of people who don't live in the Now. The Once and Future Ying? Maybe. This is a source of endless fascination for me, this longing in spiritual traditions for either the future (Everything will be rosy when supply your own 'when' here) or the past (If only things were as rosy as they were again, supply your own 'when' here). It seems completely contradictory to the experience of living in the Now that has been presented as one of the primary characteristics of life in enlightenment. WAS there ever a Sat Yuga? A time when everything was rosy and everybody was enlightened? A lot of people seem to think so. Me, I'm not convinced. I think it's the spiritual counterpart of the Neocon longing for the 1950s, where everything was black and white and you knew who your enemies were and women stayed barefoot and pregnant and never talked back. And as such, it's not really about a dream for a better world. It IS that, of course, but at the same time it's a rejection of the *current* world, a kind of attachment to the way things should be, as opposed to an acceptance of and appreciation for Things As They Are. Back in the bad old days of the computer revolution, IBM made a name for itself by selling futures. Their salespeople talked up the bright, rosy future of the *next* generation of computers so well that customers bought the current crappy generation of computers and lived with them, convinced that things would be better Real Soon Now. Things were never better. I think that there is a similar trend in spiritual communities. If the students are not realizing their own enlightenment speedily, right here, right Now, even the best of teachers tend to start selling futures, telling them how rosy things will be when they ARE enlightened, and to just hang in there, because everything will be better Real Soon Now. I don't know about you guys, but I've had spiritual teachers telling me how things are gonna be better Real Soon Now for over forty years. As far as I can tell, things in the world have gotten worse, not better. But neither 'better' nor 'worse' has ANYTHING to do with enlightenment. Enlightenment, as I understand it, revolves around that magic word that keeps coming up in Tom's writing here -- appreciation. If one is capable of appreciating one's own eternal nature, eternity is present in every moment, right here, right Now. I'm just throwing out ideas here for discussion. I'm just fascinated by this trend to sell futures, and I'm starting to wonder if the very fact that a spiritual teaching talks more about how rosy things will be 'when' (selling futures) may mean that that tradition has no enlightenment to offer right here, right Now.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Was Dome total numbers - Now Monarchy, Democracies, etc.
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jim_flanegin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting how the descriptions I've read over the years of people living in a Sat Yuga, ideal society, prehistoric tribal culture, as one with nature, etc. government is nearly non-existent, and generally ascribed to a single benevolent chief, leader, high priest, or guru. Yet, during a Kali Yuga, such an arrangement is seen as the antithesis of fair and benevolent leadership, or good government, rather it is always associated with a repressive dictatorship. Descriptions of life in sat yuga or in ideal societies are religious fantasies and not a basis for making real life decisions about how to structure a gov't. Prehistoric tribal cultures are again by definition prehistoric (so not much known for sure) and tribal which means society based on extended family groups which are capable of being run by a benevolent council of elders - generally elders are benevolently disposed towards their descendents - and the size of the tribe is small enough to not require extended gov't. The kind of gov't the tmo seems to want -- monarchy under the strong influence of religion - did in fact exist for centuries and it's known as the Dark Ages. Democracy led the way out of the kali yuga of actual history. TBs will say but the old dictators weren't enlightened like King Tony and MMY, in which case I say leave the damn democractic society you're enjoying right now and give yourself full time, heart and soul, to the TMO and see how well your life goes (assuming you're not a multi-milionaire-aristocrat).

[FairfieldLife] Keeping abreast of new technology :-)
Musical breast implants Computer chips that store music could soon be built into a woman's breast implants. One boob could hold an MP3 player and the other the person's whole music collection. BT futurology, who have developed the idea, say it could be available within 15 years. BT Laboratories' analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist. According to The Sun he said: It is now very hard for me to thing of breast implants as just decorative. If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful. The sensors around the body linked through the electrical impulses in the chips may also be able to warn wearers about heart murmurs, blood pressure increases, diabetes and breast cancer. I guess we all know where the volume knob is, but it could lead to complications. Imagine hearing your neighbor screaming, in a moment of passion, Louder, louder. :-) Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Conversations with God, the movie...
Title: Conversations with God, the movie... A Special Message from Stephen Simon... We are less than two weeks away from shooting the first scenes of CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD. There is a tremendous level of excitement and anticipation building among the cast and crew as well as a sense that we have been brought together to create a powerful and magical story that will change lives. Below is the press release, which is filled with news about the production. You can also keep up to date with us by visiting the website: www.cwgthemovie.com (If you would like to join us in Ashland and be an extra in the film, please send an e-mail with your daytime phone number to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 541-899-0201 and leave your name and phone number.) I deeply appreciate your ongoing support of CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, The Circle and the emerging art form of Spiritual Cinema. With love and gratitude, Stephen * * * * * * * FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 25, 2005 BRINGING A SPIRITUAL CLASSIC TO THE SCREEN! CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD A Powerful, Mystical True Story www.cwgthemovie.com (Ashland, OR) CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD spent nearly 3 years on the New York Times bestseller list, and sold approximately 7 million copies in 34 languages, so it was no surprise to director/producer Stephen Simon (producer of SOMEWHERE IN TIME, WHAT DREAMS MAY COME) that hundreds of people from all over the world lined up last month at the open auditions for the film version of CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD. The book series that inspired millions will now become a film that tells the true and previously untold story of Neale Donald Walsch. At the lowest point in his life, Walsch started asking God some hard questions. And to his astonishment, God answered. Those conversations became the basis for the book series. This film details the dramatic journey of a down and out homeless man who inadvertently becomes an unlikely and highly acclaimed bestselling author and spiritual messenger. Online: http://www.cwgthemovie.com For the past ten years I have dreamed of making this movie, says Simon. CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD will be a powerful, mystical, controversial and surprising film. The film will star Henry Czerny in the lead role of Neale. Czerny is a respected actor known for his performances in THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE (2005), THE ICE STORM (1997), MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (1996), CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (1994) and the upcoming remake of THE PINK PANTHER (2006). Every once in a while, we actors get a chance to be part of an extraordinarily insightful story, explains Czerny. I'm sure this is the way some of van Gogh's colors must have felt when they were asked by his brush to mingle in 'Starry Night.' Frances Fisher, who has played several memorable roles such as Kate Winslet's mother in TITANIC (1997), and Julianne Moore's mother in LAWS OF ATTRACTION (2004), will co-star. Fisher has also performed in THE HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG (2003), UNFORGIVEN (1992), L.A. STORY (1991) and starred in many memorable made-for-TV films, such as The Audrey Hepburn Story (2000), Cold Sassy Tree (1998) and as Lucille Ball in the Luci Desi: Before the Laughter (1991). To be able to work on a film that represents the best of my personal beliefs is something I have been dreaming of for years, says Fisher. I'm excited to be working with people who are all on the same page, literally and spiritually. Ingrid Boulting, who left Hollywood years ago to pursue a career in yoga and art, will play a pivotal role and mystical character in the film. Most often remembered for her role in THE LAST TYCOON (1976), Boulting's appearance in CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD will be her first on screen performance in more than twenty years. It is really exciting that this film is being made, a film that can awaken in us a new sense of ourselves, says Boulting. I have not felt spiritually connected to projects that have been offered to me since 'Tycoon,' and I am ecstatic to be collaborating on this inspired project. CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD is the first original film production of The Spiritual Cinema Circle, www.spiritualcinemacircle.com, which Simon co-founded in 2004 with author Gay Hendricks, who will Executive Produce the film. The Spiritual Cinema Circle is America's fastest growing DVD club. Each month Circle subscribers receive 4 films on DVD that heal, inspire and transform our lives. Subscribers hail from 70 countries around the world. The Circle is financing the project, which will premiere theatrically and in new thought churches worldwide in late October 2006 and will be available on DVD exclusively to Circle subscribers in December 2006. Over the past ten years, Walsch has received multiple offers from producers (and one major studio) to turn his book and life story into a film. He turned them all down. Just five years before I wrote about my experience, I was homeless, with a broken neck, living in a park. I spent my days

It's putting all one's eggs in a future basket that does not exist, has never existed, and will never exist except as a hope in the minds of people who don't live in the Now. The Once and Future Ying? Maybe. This is a source of endless fascination for me, this longing in spiritual traditions for either the future (Everything will be rosy when supply your own 'when' here) or the past (If only things were as rosy as they were again, supply your own 'when' here). It seems completely contradictory to the experience of living in the Now that has been presented as one of the primary characteristics of life in enlightenment. WAS there ever a Sat Yuga? A time when everything was rosy and everybody was enlightened? A lot of people seem to think so. Me, I'm not convinced. I think it's the spiritual counterpart of the Neocon longing for the 1950s, where everything was black and white and you knew who your enemies were and women stayed barefoot and pregnant and never talked back. And as such, it's not really about a dream for a better world. It IS that, of course, but at the same time it's a rejection of the *current* world, a kind of attachment to the way things should be, as opposed to an acceptance of and appreciation for Things As They Are. Also used to great effect by the best advertising agencies of the world...So this need for an idealized past and future is part of classic waking state. As such, all spiritual groups sell the absolute answer to this absolute desire; getting from here to there. And not a single spiritual group will get us through the eye of the needle; not Maharishi, not SSRS, not Ramana Maharishi, not Guru Dev, not Buddhists, not Christians, not Hindus, not the 27 groups in Fairfield. Signposts all, though we pass through the eye of the needle ourselves, beholden to no one. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

Can one have thoughts and/or maintain activity when absorbed in the present? If so, does the content of the thought matter? Does the content of past or future, or any thought content, affect the ones degree of absorbsion in Now? The issue I'm talking about is not having sporadic thoughts about the future; I would assume that the enlightened have such thoughts. :-) What I'm speaking about is *focus*, the *predominant* nature of one's thoughts, the ones that occupy the mind the most. Think of it in terms of this board -- certain people have certain themes that they talk about over and over and over and over and over. Those are the things they focus on in life. The *focus* that they give these thoughts is what makes the difference, IMO. Someone else could have the same thoughts and they're no big deal for them; they just come and they go. But when the thoughts tend *not* to go, and come up over and over and over and over and over again, then IMO the issue of focus comes into play. Focus is a big thing in Buddhist thought, because it is assumed that one has a *choice* in what to focus on. One is not a victim to one's thoughts or their content; one has the ability to choose which thoughts to entertain and which to ignore as unproductive. In general, *dwelling* on either the past or the future is viewed as unproductive. What is seen as most pro- ductive are thoughts of how to act -- right here, right now -- in such a manner as to *create* the desired future. Spending a lot of time thinking about the desired future is not the same thing as acting to bring it about. Right? Also, there is the issue of *attachment* to the desired future. If the rosy future is seen as so strong a goal that one puts off enjoyment of the present until the goal is achieved, then IMO such a focus can also be seen as unproductive. For example, all know people who believe that they won't be happy until they're enlightened. And, as such a focus tends to be self-fulfilling, they're not. :-) Can one be full of thoughts about the present and not be absorbed in Now? Absolutely. It's called the state of ignorance. :-) And as such, it's not really about a dream for a better world. It IS that, of course, but at the same time it's a rejection of the *current* world, a kind of attachment to the way things should be, as opposed to an acceptance of and appreciation for Things As They Are. Are you diminished when having the thought that some people a reject the *current* world, and have a kind of attachment to the way things should be? Nope. I think that sometimes the people who *are* attached to the way things should be are diminished by that focus, however. Are you absorbed in the present when having this thought? Since my answer was Nope, this question is irrelevant. :-) Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

Therefore, it is the University¹s position that sexual harassment, abuse, and offenses are unacceptable in any form. You may be right. Or not. But let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume you are. What is the statute of limitations on this sort of thing? Iowa Code: Q: Are there time limits on when I can file a suit, and if so, what are they? A: There is a two-year statute of limitations in Iowa with regard to cases involving defective products, personal injuries or medical malpractice. This can be extended in certain instances. In cases involving discrimination or harassment, a charge of discrimination must be filed against the employer with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission within 180 days of the last discriminatory act. Under certain circumstances, this deadline can be extended to up to 300 days with respect to federal claims. It is very difficult to recover if the applicable time limits have run so its important to get good legal advice as to the time limit that applies to your case and take appropriate action to preserve your legal issues.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Selling Futures, Being in Present
You need to understand that NOW becomes THEN and THEN becomes NOW and somewhere inside the endless flow of NOW and THEN you live your life. I think accepting the NOW is the best way to change your life situation (if required). Since life is an endless succession of NOWS one can use one's awareness to influence how future NOWs show up. Sometimes NOW really sucks, and until you accept that it sucks and take responsibility for how the current NOW showed up, you won't be able to do things NOW in order to have a different NOW in the future. Basically, accepting the NOW doesn't mean liking the NOW. It means exercising your human ability of choice right NOW. And since a NOW becomes a THEN, you can perform actions NOW that make THEN better. If a thief shows up at the door, you have to accept the fact that he is there to rob you in order to take appropriate action. You don't passively accept that a thief is there and let him rob you unless you want a future NOW to be a poor NOW. You can sit in bliss while they take the furniture away or you do something to prevent it. Either way is blissful it's just nicer somehow (on a practical level) to be in bliss on a comfy couch rather than an old orange crate. This is of course complicated by the fact that there really is no you to make choices now. And the best choices are made at the level of choiceless awareness anyway. But I have chosen to ignore this for NOW because behaving as if you don't exist and that nothing is real creates lousy future NOWS. (Been there done that.) I believe that it is out of compassion that Enlightened people perform behaviors for better future NOWS for everyone because they know that most people want life to be better NOW. It's really just a practical matter. In the gita somewhere it says that the enlightened man sees life with evenness of vision but he doesn't treat a king and dog the same because that would create chaos in society. Hence, with compassion he works for the welfare of the world a better NOW for everyone. So even though he doesn't accept or reject anything he knows the vast majority of people do and he accepts that! He then takes the practical step of choosing NOW to create a comfortable NOW for as many people as possible. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, akasha_108 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB [EMAIL PROTECTED] [comments out of original order] Being In the Present: But neither 'better' nor 'worse' has ANYTHING to do with enlightenment.

[FairfieldLife] The Plot Thickens -- Cheney Was Libby's Source
The notes, taken by Mr. Libby during the conversation, for the first time place Mr. Cheney in the middle of an effort by the White House to learn about Ms. Wilson's husband, Joseph C. Wilson IV, who was questioning the administration's handling of intelligence about Iraq's nuclear program to justify the war. Lawyers involved in the case, who described the notes to The New York Times, said they showed that Mr. Cheney knew that Ms. Wilson worked at the C.I.A. more than a month before her identity was made public and her undercover status was disclosed in a syndicated column by Robert D. Novak on July 14, 2003. Mr. Libby's notes indicate that Mr. Cheney had gotten his information about Ms. Wilson from George J. Tenet, the director of central intelligence, in response to questions from the vice president about Mr. Wilson. But they contain no suggestion that either Mr. Cheney or Mr. Libby knew at the time of Ms. Wilson's undercover status or that her identity was classified. Disclosing a covert agent's identity can be a crime, but only if the person who discloses it knows the agent's undercover status. It would not be illegal for either Mr. Cheney or Mr. Libby, both of whom are presumably cleared to know the government's deepest secrets, to discuss a C.I.A. officer or her link to a critic of the administration. But any effort by Mr. Libby to steer investigators away from his conversation with Mr. Cheney could be considered by Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special counsel in the case, to be an illegal effort to impede the inquiry. . Lawyers involved in the case said they had no indication that Mr. Fitzgerald was considering charging Mr. Cheney with wrongdoing. Mr. Cheney was interviewed under oath by Mr. Fitzgerald last year. It is not known what the vice president told Mr. Fitzgerald about the conversation with Mr. Libby or when Mr. Fitzgerald first learned of it. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi on Government, was: Dome total numbers
Hari Om, Vedic philosophy calls for a balance between Dictatorship and democracy. The ownership of the country belongs neither to king nor to the people. It belongs to Dharma itself. Rama was the embodiment of dharma. King Bharata took the sandals of Lord Ram and placed it on the throne of ayodhya and ruled it on behalf of Rama. So the king was considered to be a representative of God. King Janaka was a Philosopher king. Maharishi says that the ruler of a country is not a free independent agent. He is only a reflection of the collective consciousness of the country. If the Collective consciousness is stressed then, the leader is also stressed and makes mistakes. Eckhart Tolle also makes a similar point. So does Paramahansa Yogananda. According to the Vedic Philosophy, there are only 4 varnas. These 4 Varnas are basicaly determined by the predominance of the 3 gunas. Look up at Swami Chidbavananda's commentary on Gita [Ramakrishna Mission] A person who has predominantly Tamas guna is a Sudra and should be given particular duties in society. A person who has predominantly Rajas guna is a Vaishya and should be given particular duties in society. A person who has predominantly Satwa guna is a Kshtriya and should be given particular duties in society. And a person who has Trancended the three gunas is a Brahmana. The four Varnas are not rigid and are interchangable. Sage Vishvamitra was born kshtriya, but became a sage. etc. With, Jai Guru Dev, Jason ---OriginalMessage-- From: "Robert Gimbel" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2005 00:02:04 - Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi on Government, was: Dome total numbers I always assumed that Maharishi had suscribed to Plato and Socrates; In regard to the highest form of government; after taking a course at MIU; back in the day. The highest form of government according to the Ancient Greeks; Was a ruler called a "Philosopher King" The idea was to create a program; which would educate the leaders; And create a consciousness in the leadership; which would be an "Enlightened Governing Consciousness"; And this seems to be the model, whether from the Ancient Greeks, or the Ancient Vedic teachings. The problem with democracy, as we can see in the current format; Is that most of the people are easily fooled;Our democracy was formed in response to the unenlightened leadership; And the history of corrupt leadership; in the capitals of Europe. It definitely seems the time has come; For enlightened leadership, in whatever form it happens to take to get there.

Prehistoric tribal cultures are again by definition prehistoric (so not much known for sure) and tribal which means society based on extended family groups which are capable of being run by a benevolent council of elders - generally elders are benevolently disposed towards their descendents - and the size of the tribe is small enough to not require extended gov't. The kind of gov't the tmo seems to want -- monarchy under the strong influence of religion - did in fact exist for centuries and it's known as the Dark Ages. Democracy led the way out of the kali yuga of actual history. TBs will say "but the old dictators weren't enlightened like King Tony and MMY", in which case I say leave the damn democractic society you're enjoying right now and give yourself full time, heart and soul, to the TMO and see how well your life goes (assuming you're not a multi-milionaire-aristocrat).

Thank you for your replies to Hogs Another depressing thing is inspite of whatever feeling many of us about the TMO the school MSAE is the crowning jewel so sweet and such a nice environment for the kids. I saw an un named person this past week whose spouse is a dean of one of the levels cant recall which and when I asked this person frankly how things were going with the 1-2 grade class near nil and 3-4 grade girls at 9 students and not sure what boys total is. That persons answers is We are hoping for a miracle Here I am in Hog mire worry and she is hoping for a miracle to keep MSAE alive that was the best that person could come up with I was stunned. I asked if MUM went under if MSAE could survive and that person said yes but most likely parents would start a charter school and bring some staff with and start their own maybe even rent school buidling if it was not sold. I really cant imagine but with it shriking I dont see how it can exist realistically in 5 years. To complicate my hog state of negativity I was in Iowa City at doc appt last week and some lady in the docs office told me a sad hog scenairo up state where they could not stop them. They are in proceess of sueing and it has gone on for a long while Sierra Club was involved as the run off killed wild life etc etc etc and she thinks they had to go by somes stritcher standards the hog people but they did not pull out once in. She said her husband was more involved thru some nature group and it was in NE Iowa somewhere. I am not really depressed but am trying to be real about our future here. I figured if we sold our house now and got a fair price and rented a SV house for 5 years just to pick a time frame and then left we would lose in rent what we would lose to the bank if we just never sold our house . So we have decided to just stay in our lovely house. But sad that we have to have these thought even. However I cant be a Ru that puts one's head in the sane and not be real about all of this going on around us. I am sure there was always be a prescense here but I wont be here of hog factories move in and I am sure and know others that feel the same and it saddens me to think this could acutally occur and is just another level of decline of such a great little town. I recall being in TTC and really into the TMO and telling my small grog wouldn't it be great if we could all live in the same town and a few years later it occurred. My spouse says dont worry that will happen again. Groups will form and people will move where friends go to NC or Boulder or Ashland or Ashville etc Florida it will happen again and will be another phase no one could fathom just as you could really think Fairfield would happen you just wished for it back then at age 22.

I know gobs of people that would love cheaper Vastu houses that would be happy to pay normal prices. Chris Johnsons motto is If you want wait long enough it changes again policy wise so never worry about it He is cool that way but always follows what MMY says to a tee and MMY or his office calls him all the time guess that is reason enough to follow in his mind. You would think he would stand up to him and tell him it wont fly. I dont know why he just does not do his own thing but he wife is ultra straight. In this town you have to just live your own life. If you follow the TMO you will be poor and non the more enlightened. on 10/25/05 1:37 PM, Vaj at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Price includes royalties to Global Country of World Peace How much do they get?

According to June Schindler, director of student accounts at Maharishi School, the drop can be attributed to more students graduating than enrolling. Schindler said 42 seniors graduated in June while only nine students began kindergarten this school year. Demographics are influencing the smaller enrollment numbers. Schindler said there are less meditators in town with young children. Currently, 69 students are enrolled in grades kindergarten through six, 44 students in grades seven and eight, and 112 students in grades nine through 12. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Ringo
Title: Ringo From the collector's book, Postcards From the Boys by Ringo Starr (September, 2004): There was so much good music in Rishikesh. A lot of the guys wrote some good songs there - if nothing else, that was well worth it. In many ways it was also our first experience of being left alone, although the press caught up with us and photographed us leaving. But we did have plenty of time on our own. The bathroom was full of scorpions - these are just flash memories - you had to make a lot of noise before you went in. And that was that. I'm still glad I went and feel so blessed I met the Maharishi - he gave me a mantra that no-one can take away and I still use it.

[FairfieldLife] Sleep tricks, was: HA HA - A name and form joke

I've noticed that when I still my mind, one of the things to go away is any thought of I or reference to I. Because there is nothing to identify with at all, I will experience a momentary fear before moving into sleep. It is like death in that way. And then I awaken a few hours later, as myself, having slept well. I usually meditate before sleep, something Maharishi once told me to do (for 1/2 an hour), but when I lie down, I often play a little game in which I imagine that I'm surrendering to death, not just to sleep. I imagine that this is it - I'm never going to wake up. Somehow this is very profound. There's a much more complete sense of surrender to it. No fear. I also have this thing when I wake up in the middle of the night to pee. I'll get back in bed and notice a constant buzz in my nervous system which, I realize, is always there. I'm able to consciously relax in such a way as to stop it entirely, then I go to sleep again. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
