[FairfieldLife] Over 12 languages thoroughly!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jones_%28philologist%29 Jones was born at Beaufort Buildings, Westminster; his father (also named Sir William Jones) was a mathematician. The young William Jones was a linguistic prodigy, learning Greek, Latin, Persian, Arabic and the basics of Chinese writing at an early age. By the end of his life he knew thirteen languages thoroughly and another twenty-eight reasonably well, making him a hyperpolyglot. Though his father died when he was only three, Jones was still able to go to Harrow and on to university. He graduated from University College, Oxford in 1764. Too poor, even with his award, to pay the fees, he gained a job tutoring seven-year-old Lord Althorp, son of Earl Spencer and as such an ancestor of Princess Diana.

There is just too much resistance on this forum to presenting the taking-an-active-role- in-your-own-realization approach. It's just a waste of time to talk about it, because the decades of indoctrination have been too effective. The waiters have been waiting so long that they can't even imagine that there is something they could do other than waiting. And they get angry when someone *does* suggest such a thing. So I'm going to leave them to their waiting, and hope that approach works out for them in the future a little better than it's worked out for them so far. Tom T: The reason I suggested Judy and others just give it up is that they have been using every ounce of will and intention as seekers for thirty some years and have yet to find that for which they seek. If one can really give up the addiction to seeking the only place left to fall into is the Self. You have looked outside for it for ever too long. It is inside just stop seeking, give up caring about what has been described. Fall back onto who you are. You allready know this simple thing you are so familiar with yet you overlook it for some grandiose thing. It is just that simple. As one man so succintly put it one night when it finally dawned on him that this simple state we are is IT. He said I want my money back for all the courses and CCP program, I have know this for 25 years. It can't be this simple. Well, three weeks later he finally admitted that this simple thing really was it and every concept of what it had to look like and be was gone and he couldn't hang onto any of those old concepts. Throw in the towel and see what can happen. Being a not seeker may be a new and wondeful experience full of freedom. What have you got to lose. You haven't gotten it with all that seeking. Tom Tom, I understand why you feel this way. (IMO, of course.) It's because this approach worked for you. So naturally, you think it'll work for everyone. I have no such illusions. Different strokes for different folks is not just about preferences...it's about predilection, a way of saying that the approach to enlightenment that allows some people to realize it Just Wouldn't Work for other people. In this case, I would think that the person you are recom- mending this approach to really would benefit more from the *opposite* approach -- a heavy regimen of focus and focused intent. But that's a guess on my part, and it's irrelevant in any case because she's firmly locked into Waiting Mode, probably for the rest of the incarnation. There is not an ice cube's chance in Hell that she's ever going to try anything new, ever again in this life so any suggestions to the contrary are just wasted breath. My only point to *you* is that there are many paradigms for discovering what has always already been present. One is very much in the TM mold...just practicing one's sadhana and waiting to see if anything happens. This discussion group should offer proof that this approach does work, at least for a few. Very few. This group also provides some evidence that exposure to the Neo-Advaitan stop all this seeking and just realize that it's already present approach *also* works. For some people. I'm suggesting only that there are *other* paradigms and approaches out there that might work for others, and among them is the use of intent and effort and strong focus. You don't hear about that approach much on this group because (IMO) people have been brainwashed over the decades into believing that effort of any kind is somehow bad -- some- thing associated with ego. But this approach *does* work for some people. Go figure. Enlightenment is an equal opportunity employer. It doesn't really CARE how you found your way to realizing that you are already an employee.

My guess: Any sufficiently complex system of correspondences, such as astrology (any flavor), works as a tool for focusing the intuition--i.e., collecting and integrating all one's little intuitional inputs into a coherent whole so that a prediction can be generated from it. The system's correspondences themselves don't mean anything at all, they're just a framework to hang the intuition on and organize what the intuition knows. Tea leaves, in other words, could work just as well as astrology for anyone with a highly developed intuition. Intuition is very definitely a part of jyotish but some systems will work very well in a mechanical sense too. Something is going on and it doesn't have so much to do with intuition other than some folks can discern it with intuition. Hart DeFouw, a very popular Jyotish teacher says Jyotish is just a form of divination like numerology, palmistry, etc. Maharishi has always claimed that Jyotish is a science and that therefore a computer would be the best practitioner. To my eyes the biggest pointer to it being a huge load of Anthropomorphism is the fact that all of the planets beyond the orbit of saturn are missing from the jyotish calculations. Do they not have an effect? or is it because they are not visible to the naked eye and consequently the ancients couldn't have known about them? An if it doesn't mean anything at all why have yagyas to correct approaching problems?

I'm not talking just about TM or real cults or even just spiritual communitites here...for the purpose of this question, you could include the employees of a company whose PR image proudly proclaims that it provides a perfect work envir- onment, or a small town that bills itself as the perfect place to live. What I'm suggesting is that these self-polling data collection methods are (or should be) suspect when they are used in a community that exerts pressure on its members to conform to a group image of some sort. For example, I would suspect that you would have a completely different set of answers to the how happy are you test in Fairfield, depend- ing on who was administering the test. If it were being given by the TMO, you'd get the expected very happy answers. But if the test had absolutely nothing to do with the TMO, and the people being asked the questions knew that the data was theoretically never going to be seen by people in the TM movement, I would expect you'd get a more balanced happy to fairly happy set of answers. This tendency to answer poll questions the way the questioners want you to answer them was a well known and oft-discussed phenomenon in the Psych and Sociology courses I took in college. We even did one experiment in which half the class was given a test to administer to subjects and told that they were trying to prove Theorem A, and the other half of the class was given the same test to administer (without knowing it was the same), and told that they were trying to prove Theorem B (the opposite). Natch, the first group got results proving Theorem A and the second group got results proving the exact opposite, using the exact same test. I never forgot that experiment, and remain skeptical of all polled research data to this day.

[FairfieldLife] Speech by Salt Lake City mayor
[Note: A Mormon Utah mayor gave this speech. He's hugely popular there, by the way. Can you imagine even *one* lone congressional Democrat giving this speech? Conyers? Doubtful. Obama? Hell, Obama supports most of what Anderson is criticizing here. This is a program for taking back the country, if the Dems wanted to use it. But they'd rather side with Bush. Against the rest of us. And I suspect Rocky Anderson will not be invited to speak at the Democratic Convention in 2008.] http://www.slcgov.com/mayor/speeches/2006%20speeches/ SPiraqrally42906.pdf Rally at City County Building Remarks of Mayor Ross C. Rocky Anderson April 29, 2006 We are gathered here today to say, No more! No more killing. No more expenditures of almost $6 billion per month on this tragic war. No more denial of health care coverage for over 42 million Americans, when we are paying more for this outrageous war than what it would cost for universal health care throughout the US. No more dependence on foreign oil, while we could become independent if we focused resources wasted in the Iraq war on clean, renewable sources of energy. No more attacks on immigrants who work so hard to build better lives. No more inaction by Congress on fixing our hypocritical and inconsistent immigration laws and policies. No more complacency by our news media, much of which has served as little more than a bulletin board for false government propaganda. No more raping and pillaging of our people by the outrageous profiteers in the oil industry, by the health care insurance industry, and by the billionaire buddies of Bush and Cheney like the crooks at Enron and Halliburton. No more war in Iraq. No more reliance on fiction rather than the science of global warming. No more historic deficits forever demonstrating that our President and our Congress are total hypocrites and liars when they call themselves fiscal conservatives. No more torture of human beings. No more holding people in detention camps without charges without lawyers without any semblance of due process. No more sending people off to be held and interrogated in countries where torture and brutality is expected to occur. No more arrogant, blundering, incompetent leadership of our military. Which means no more Donald Rumsfeld. No more manipulation of our media. No more arrogance and incompetence posing as leadership in the White House. Which means no more Bush and Cheney! And no more arrogance, incompetence, and timidity posing as leadership in the United States Congress. No more illegal wiretapping without warrants. No more complacency by the American people. No more members of Congress who voted to turn into felons 12 million people our nation has encouraged to come here to work. No more disastrous cuts in funding for those most in need in our cities. No more destruction of American Indian urban health care centers. No more cuts in Community Development Block Grant funding. No more cuts in Community Oriented Policing federal funding for our cities. No more lies about a tie between Iraq and 9-11. Which means no more Dick Cheney. No more butchering of the English language. Which means, of course, no more George Bush. No more killing thousands of innocent people. Which means no more of the Bush Administration. And no more of those in Congress who have sat passively by while the slaughter continues. No more killing. No more maiming of men, women, and children, Iraqi and American. No more apathy by the American people. And no more refraining from saying No more! We are gathered here today because we care deeply. We are gathered today because we cant and wont remain silent in the face of tragic dishonesty, tragic violations of international law and human rights, outrageous war mongering, and continually shifting excuses for beginning the war a war that has resulted in the unnecessary deaths of probably more than 100,000 Iraqis and almost 2400 American members of the United States armed forces. Add to that tragedy the terrible injuries sustained by tens of thousands of people, and our nations conscience will forever be shocked and burdened. We are not gathered because we are Democrats or Republicans or Greens or Independents or members of any other party. We are not even because we are disgusted with the complacency, impotence, and timidity of so many so-called leaders in both of the major parties. We are not gathered here because we seek to divide this nation. In fact, we seek to unify this great country behind principles of justice, compassion and an end to an outrageous, unnecessary war. And we are not here because we are nut cakes. There are those who have said, Stand behind our President, right or wrong. They say, We are duty-bound to follow and support them. We are gathered here today to insist there are much higher authorities than George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld to whom we must listen for moral guidance. Those who say we
[FairfieldLife] The Dangers of MySpace
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/05/03/myspace_terms/print.html Murdoch wants teenagers'... By Mark Ballard Published Wednesday 3rd May 2006 11:32 GMT Teenagers should beware of Murdoch-owned website MySpace.com snatching their digital identities, child campaigners have warned. Freechildsafeweb.com, which lobbies for the safe use of MySpace, said small print in the new terms and conditions, introduced since the acquisition of MySpace by News Corporation last year, could mean that careless content posted by teenagers could come back to haunt them later in life. If you post risque images as a teen and later move into professional life, these images along with any comments, journals and conversations can be sold to the press and there is nothing you can do. It is worth remembering, the owners of Myspace.com - News Corp - are the Press, an unattributed article on Freechildsafeweb said yesterday. Approximately 68m people use MySpace as a personal exhibition space and networking club. Many of these would have originally agreed to terms and conditions, (retained (http://www.freechildsafeweb.com/MySpaceTerms_Cached.htm#PostingContent) by Freechildsafeweb), that give the website non-exclusive rights to use the material they display there, but only while they keep it there. This license will terminate at the time you remove such content from the website, the old terms read. However, new terms (http://collect.myspace.com/misc/terms.html?z=1) introduced after News Corp's acquisition of MySpace, extend the website's rights over any content their users upload. They give MySpace non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free worldwide license and sub-licensing rights to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit, and distribute any matter posted by its users, including messages, text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, profiles, works of authorship, or any other materials. Content posted by you may remain on the MySpace.com servers after you have removed the content from the services, and MySpace.com retains the rights to those copies, it adds. Paul Varney of Freechildsafeweb contacted The Register by email to air his concern: I want to bring this to the attention of the 65M+ (MySpace) users, as many I feel are perhaps not aware of these very different terms, especially band recordings, or young teens who post content that may come back to bite them in later years, he said.

And here's another *direct* quote, from the NYTimes account: Asked at a news briefing in the Rose Garden on Friday whether he believed the anthem would have the same value in Spanish as it did in English, Mr. Bush said flatly, 'No, I don't.' So if he thinks it has less value sung in Spanish, why did he have it sung in Spanish at his first inauguration and his campaign appearances and even sing it himself in Spanish? Was he suggesting that his allegiance to this country wasn't as great as that of people who prefer the anthem in English? Now would you like to comment on his hypocrisy, or are you going to continue to try to wiggle out of the obvious?

And, based on my personal experience, I still think a brand name motherboard is crucial: My webserver, http://alex.natel.net/ , is an old Micron system that I bought in 1998. It's a 733MHz Pentium III running on a Tyan Trinity 400 motherboard. I agree with Alex about a quality motherboard. Although I have found that the corporate lines of the major makers are much more stable than the home user lines. In the past year I have done some large desktop migrations: 1250 IBM's for a health insurance co, 700 HP/Compaq's for BOA, and 60 Dells for retail distribution center. All theses were corporate line machines, very stable and better constructed than I thought they would be. For myself each generation of motherboards generall produces a low cost board or two that is fast, stable and flexible. The trick is picking them out of the crowd. In the Athlon era the Shuttle An35n was one, and I'm currently running an Asrock939DualSataII with a Dual core 4400+ (chip recommended by Akasha108). Both have been excellent running both gentoo linux and all versions of Windows including Server 2k3. The fun part is trying to pick the good ones before they get popular. Good quality powersupplys and memory are important as speed goes up. They all can be had at pretty resonable prices. If you elect to build your own check out a few enthusiast sites and you'll see a group of folks just below the hardcore folks that pick the best price/performance ratio stuff. That's the stuff to look at JohnY http://www.extremetech.com/default/0,1556,,00.asp I find ExtremeTech is a good information source. And past articles of reviews is helpful.

JOHNSON and MIKE STOBBE, Associated Press Writer CHICAGO - Middle-aged, white Americans are much sicker than their counterparts in England, startling new research shows, despite U.S. health care spending per person that's more than double what England spends. ADVERTISEMENTA higher rate of Americans tested positive for diabetes and heart disease than the English. Americans also self-reported more diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, lung disease and cancer.The gap between the countries holds true for educated and uneducated, rich and poor."At every point in the social hierarchy there is more illness in the United States than in England and the differences are really dramatic," said study co-author Dr. Michael Marmot, an epidemiologist at University College London in England.The study, appearing in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association, adds context to the already-known fact that the United States spends more on health care than any other industrialized nation, yet trails in rankings of life expectancy.The United States spends about $5,200 per person on health care while England spends about half that in adjusted dollars."Everybody should be discussing it: Why isn't the richest country in the world the healthiest country in the world?" Marmot said."It's something of a mystery," said Richard Suzman of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, which helped fund the study.The researchers looked for answers in the data, which came from government-sponsored health surveys. The research was supported by grants from government agencies in both countries. A U.S. researcher from the Rand Corp. was on the team.Smoking rates are about the same on both sides of the pond. The English have a higher rate of heavy drinking, but a higher percentage of Americans are obese.The researchers crunched numbers to create a hypothetical statistical world in which the English had American lifestyle risk factors, including being as fat as Americans. In that model, the researchers found Americans still would be sicker.Only non-Hispanic whites were included in the study to eliminate the influence of racial disparities. The researchers looked only at people ages 55 through 64, and the average age of the samples was the same.Americans reported twice the rate of diabetes compared to the English: 12.5 percent versus 6 percent. For high blood pressure, it was 42 percent for Americans versus 34 percent for the English; cancer showed up in 9.5 percent of Americans compared to 5.5 percent of English.The upper crust in both countries was healthier than middle-class and low-income people in the same country. But richer Americans' health status resembled the health of the low-income British.Health experts have known the U.S. population is less healthy than that of other industrialized nations, according to several important measurements. U.S. life expectancy, for example, ranks behind that of about two dozen other countries, according to the World Health Organization.Some have believed the U.S. has lagged because it has a more ethnically diverse population than some of the higher-ranking countries, said Suzman, who heads the National Institute on Aging's Behavioral and Social Research Program. "Minority health in general is worse than white health," he said.But the new study showed that when minorities are removed from the equation, and adjustments are made to control for education and income, white people in England are still healthier than white people in the United States."As far as I know, this is the first study showing this," said Suzman who called the results "surprising." But some other experts said the findings were predictable. Earlier studies have shown the United States does a poorer job than other industrialized countries at providing primary medical care to its citizens, particularly to those with less education and income, said Dr. Barbara Starfield, a professor of health policy and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University. "Countries oriented toward providing good primary care basically do better in health," she said. Marmot offered yet another explanation for the gap: Americans' financial insecurity. Improvements in household income have eluded all but the top fifth of Americans since the mid-1970s. Meanwhile, English citizens saw their incomes improve, he said. Robert Blendon, a professor of health policy at the Harvard School of Public Health who was not involved in the study, said the stress of striving for the American dream may account for Americans' lousy health.

[FairfieldLife] China's New Drive on the African Continent
Online edition of India's National NewspaperOpinion - News AnalysisChina's new push on the African continent Pallavi Aiyar Beijing is making a concerted effort to expand its economic and diplomatic clout. CHINESE PRESIDENT Hu Jintao's three-nation Africa tour to Morocco, Nigeria, and Kenya might have received only a sliver of the international limelight his much-heralded visit to the United States generated a week earlier, but in China itself the trip is seen as having considerable strategic weight. Since the turn of the century when Beijing established the Sino-African Cooperation Forum, China has been making a concerted effort to expand its economic and diplomatic clout with the raw material rich continent. By combining handouts of billions of dollars in aid and investment with judicious rhetoric that alludes to the spirit of Bandung, Beijing is clearly looking to challenge U.S. leadership in the region. It is within this context that Mr. Hu's recent travels should be viewed. As he stopped off across Africa last week, Mr. Hu stressed that Beijing wants a "strategic partnership" with Africa, seeking to add a new political dimension to the already blossoming bilateral economic romance. Speaking to Nigeria's Parliament, the Chinese President put forward a five-point proposal for developing ties in the areas of politics, the economy, culture, security, and international affairs. According to reports in the African media, local analysts say Mr. Hu's stress on the "independence and sovereignty" of Africa is seen to offer an attractive alternative to the U.S.' interventionist and prescriptive foreign policy with its one-dimensional focus on the "war against terror." Signalling the importance it gives to evolving a coherent Africa policy, Beijing brought out its first ever White Paper on Africa in January this year. It states that if African countries choose to accept the "one China principle as the political foundation for the establishment and development of China's relations with African countries," China will "co-ordinate positions on major international and regional issues and stand for mutual support on major issues concerning state sovereignty, territorial integrity, national dignity and human rights." Given the economic benefits that trade and investment with China spell combined with the diplomatic weight of Beijing's permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, it is small wonder that more and more African countries are in fact choosing to ditch ties with Taiwan and recognise Beijing's claim to sovereignty over the island. Thus while in the early 1990s there were still more than 20 African countries that recognised Taiwan, now there are only six. In October last year, Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing attended the official opening of the Chinese embassy in Senegal, which had been closed after it recognised Taiwan in 1996. Following Senegal breaking off relations with Taiwan, Mr. Li announced debt cancellation worth $18.5 million, with $3.7 million for the construction of hospitals, roads, and other infrastructure. Liberia, another country to ditch Taiwan in 2003, received $25 million for reconstruction and the offer of a $5 million interest-free loan. Bilateral trade between Africa and China surged to almost $40 billion in 2005 from $10 billion at the turn of the century, according to official Chinese statistics. Africa enjoyed a trade surplus of $2.38 billion. By the end of last year, some 750 Chinese enterprises had invested a total of $1.25 billion in the continent. From Senegal to Ethiopia, China's "good-will" gifts and cheap products are proving a hit with both the people and their politicians. According to reports in African media, even in the fabled trading town of Timbuktu, the moped of choice for young men is the Chinese "Jin-Cheng." Mr. Hu has been stressing the "complementarities" of the Chinese and African economies that promise much scope for the "win-win" situations so often touted by Chinese leaders. In this case, however, there appears to be much truth underlying the diplomatic-speak. Africa provides rich pickings particularly oil for raw material hungry China while the Chinese can offer the expertise and investments much needed by African nations to develop infrastructure and kick-start industry. Africa's Gulf of Guinea coastline has in particular attracted China's attention given that it is one of the world's oil exploration hotspots. With an economy that has been growing at around 10 per cent for years on the trot, China has emerged as the second largest oil importer after the U.S. Wooing Africa, even those countries shunned by the West such as Sudan, is thus a priority. So far Beijing's Africa strategy has met with considerable success. During Mr. Hu's Nigeria's visit for example, China was awarded preferential rights in bidding for four oil-drilling licences in exchange

I now understand why you get so much wrong, Judy. You simply don't understand the English language and/or your innate prejudices make you misunderstand what you read.

I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English. This is the full quote, which can easily be heard if you turn on the TV.

The issue here isn't really english-spanish, but the hypocrisy of a politician who used to regularly sing the national anthem in spanish at hispanic rallys saying the above with a straight face. ** And besides the gross hypocrisy (big surprise!) Dumbya shows how really clueless he is once again, since his own State Dept. lists several versions of the Natl Anthem at its web site, according to today's Washington Post: Administration Is Singing More Than One Tune on Spanish Version of Anthem By Peter Baker Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, May 3, 2006; Page A06 President Bush declared last week that the national anthem should be sung in English not Spanish, but he evidently never told his own government or campaign organizations. The State Department posts four Spanish versions of The Star-Spangled Banner on its Web site, and accounts from the 2000 election suggest that the song was at times performed in Spanish at Bush campaign events. Critics even turned up one reference to Bush himself singing the anthem in Spanish on the trail, but there was no confirmation. The furor over a newly released Spanish version of the anthem has underscored once again the power of symbols in American politics. At a time when the immigration debate in Washington has divided Republicans on Capitol Hill, drawn hundreds of thousands of protesters into the streets and triggered a nationwide boycott, all sides are scrutinizing the words and records of the president and other politicians for signs of inconsistency. Bush waded into the matter last week after British producer Adam Kidron issued Nuestro Himno . Responding to a reporter, Bush said: I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English. And I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English, and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English. But Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chose not to repeat his formulation Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation. I've heard the national anthem done in rap versions, country versions, classical versions, she said. The individualization of the American national anthem is quite underway. And there seems little evidence that the matter had concerned Bush before. The Center for American Progress, a liberal group run by Clinton chief of staff John D. Podesta, posted on its blog a reference to Bush singing the anthem in Spanish. In his book, American Dynasty, Kevin Phillips wrote that Bush would drop in at Hispanic festivals and parties, sometimes joining in singing 'The Star-Spangled Banner' in Spanish, sometimes partying with a 'Viva Bush' mariachi band flown in from Texas. White House spokesmen and former campaign operatives said they could not recall whether that happened, though given the level of Bush's Spanish proficiency, they seemed dubious. Honestly, I don't remember him ever singing the national anthem in Spanish, said Leonard Rodriguez, who was national director of Hispanic Coalition for Bush/Cheney 2000. I can't see any of his advisers recommending it. But he added: They may have played it. That's certainly in the realm of possibility. And Rodriguez said he does not recall Bush ever objecting to it. The Center for American Progress also cited a news report that the anthem was performed in Spanish by singer Jon Secada at a 2001 inauguration event, but Bush aides and most news accounts said he actually sang a Spanish version of America the Beautiful. Secada later performed The Star-Spangled Banner at the White House, in May 2001, but in English, according to the White House.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Britain's happiness in decline
Just saw the first of 6 BBC programmes on this series about happiness. The idea that happiness is the goal and things like money and pleasure are just a means to it was put forward by Aristotle. After a certain income - about $15,000 - any extra happiness from economic consumption is fleeting and has diminishing returns. Moreover whilst prosperity has trebled since the mid-fifties happiness has fallen from 52% then to just 36% today. Yes these are subjective measures but they do seem to correlate with more tangible effects. Smoking can cost 3 years of one's life; unhappiness 9 years. The good feel factor has attracted political interest but all governments are obsessed with GNP growth - which we know won't make much difference to happiness. However the first country to adopt National Happiness as its GNP is the Kingdom of Bhutan. Not sure how this works out in practice - so far they've decided to ban advertising boards and plastic bags! I agree that questionnaires are rather rough measures and in a cult setting especially unreliable. But perhaps in future there might be brainwaves and other physiological measures that can be used in addition. But I see this new serious interest in the happiness of the population as a positive development. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, claudiouk claudiouk@ wrote: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/happiness_formula/4771908.stm Did you take the Happiness Test at that link?

That and a couple of bucks will get me a cuppa java at Starbucks. :-) But this article brings up the same question for me that another recently-posted article about relative happiness as measured by *asking* people whether they were happy or not did: How meaningful is the result of such polling in a cult community? I'm not talking just about TM or real cults or even just spiritual communitites here...for the purpose of this question, you could include the employees of a company whose PR image proudly proclaims that it provides a perfect work envir- onment, or a small town that bills itself as the perfect place to live. What I'm suggesting is that these self-polling data collection methods are (or should be) suspect when they are used in a community that exerts pressure on its members to conform to a group image of some sort. For example, I would suspect that you would have a completely different set of answers to the how happy are you test in Fairfield, depend- ing on who was administering the test. If it were being given by the TMO, you'd get the expected very happy answers. But if the test had absolutely nothing to do with the TMO, and the people being asked the questions knew that the data was theoretically never going to be seen by people in the TM movement, I would expect you'd get a more balanced happy to fairly happy set of answers. This tendency to answer poll questions the way the questioners want you to answer them was a well known and oft-discussed phenomenon in the Psych and Sociology courses I took in college. We even did one experiment in which half the class was given a test to administer to subjects and told that they were trying to prove Theorem A, and the other half of the class was given the same test to administer (without knowing it was the same), and told that they were trying to prove Theorem B (the opposite). Natch, the first group got results proving Theorem A and the second group got results proving the exact opposite, using the exact same test. I never forgot that experiment, and remain skeptical of all polled research data to this day.

I'm good at tweaking it, keeping it clean, tracking down problems with it, and with all that it's still finally in need of replacement. I am so impressed with Dell that I am ordering a new one. And, based on my personal experience, I still think a brand name motherboard is crucial: My webserver, http://alex.natel.net/ , is an old Micron system that I bought in 1998. It's a 733MHz Pentium III running on a Tyan Trinity 400 motherboard. I agree with Alex about a quality motherboard. Although I have found that the corporate lines of the major makers are much more stable than the home user lines. In the past year I have done some large desktop migrations: 1250 IBM's for a health insurance co, 700 HP/Compaq's for BOA, and 60 Dells for retail distribution center. All theses were corporate line machines, very stable and better constructed than I thought they would be. For myself each generation of motherboards generall produces a low cost board or two that is fast, stable and flexible. The trick is picking them out of the crowd. In the Athlon era the Shuttle An35n was one, and I'm currently running an Asrock939DualSataII with a Dual core 4400+ (chip recommended by Akasha108). Both have been excellent running both gentoo linux and all versions of Windows including Server 2k3. The fun part is trying to pick the good ones before they get popular. Good quality powersupplys and memory are important as speed goes up. They all can be had at pretty resonable prices. If you elect to build your own check out a few enthusiast sites and you'll see a group of folks just below the hardcore folks that pick the best price/performance ratio stuff. That's the stuff to look at JohnY +++Thanks Alex and all. I would wonder if the higher price on the Dell XPS-400 or Mac would indicate there were reliable components used. N.

Have to think something more is involved with this poor guy, though. The newspaper story said he was a medical mystery because his cholesterol and blood pressure are normal, amazingly, and his heart works just fine.

So do you cater to that and keep feeding them anyway? If you let them feel hungry and limited their food intake, wouldn't they lose weight?
