OffWorld I never have understood the Steve Jobs fan club that much. They really believe the hype sorta like another organization we all know. They believe it so much they pay a lot more for a computer (kinda like paying a lot more for a little mantra). And now it is running Unix and it probably would have been running Linux if it was for that SCO fiasco. And there is nothing wrong with either of those OS's as in fact I won't do email and most of my browsing anymore on buggy Windows. I'm now running Ubuntu having upgraded my Linux system. Love it, except that I need to work out a cursor bug with the PNY 6200 video card. There are still parts of Linux that aren't ready for prime-time though it is still a good Windoze killer. That being said I think what we're looking at is UTF-8 encoding which is messing up the display. Perhaps someone didn't set the encoding right on the page. And of course I get to answer this on the web page because I got all of one hard bounce and Yahoo shuts down the account. That I don't get either. Macs used to be better than PC's and faster and nicer, up until about the year 2002, 'specially for large file graphics operations. Now they are shite by comparison. I had a friend with a brand new Mac expensive laptop, and I kept going on about how Macs are awful and always freezing and crashing under duress, whereas my Toshiba never freezes. My friend denied all thisthen not long after my friend's Mac crashed and was at the doctors for 2 weeks. My Toshiba has had just about as much abuse as you can give a computer (except for in Shemp's case when he is dribbling and squirting all ove the place on it :-), and it has never had a problem and deals with my graphic design work no problem. Macs are slow. OffWorld shrug. What's the fastest CPU on a toshiba? The fastest I could find at their website was a 2.0 duo core. The fastest MacBook Pro has a 2.16 duo core. The older Mac laptops are based on an ancient powerpc G4 design that is quite slow by today's standards. IBM stopped conentrating on Apple-oriented processors because there was more money in games consoles, so Apple switched their entire product line to Intel as of this year. Unless your friend bought his in the past 6 months or so, his Mac laptop is at least 5x as slow as the current Mac laptops.

It would be a lot smarter to leave school kids alone, except for private schools and charter schools where schools can do as they please, and teach TM to parents, who can then get their kids to start. Ignorant parents naturally tend to circle the wagons when they think their kids are in danger from some foreign element, and there is no sense trying to fight that.

[FairfieldLife] do you feel a teas in your heart...??
Do you feel a teas in your heart. The teas not because of your selfish and unfulfilled desires. But the pain because of the rounded humanity and the tear of poor and miserable peoples.How can your sit in your house and enjoy the life when some one poor is bound to sit over the roadside and trying to get shelter from the painful climate. How can you enjoy luxurious items when there are number of childrens who are force to sleep empty stomach because of poverty? How can you say that your life is going smooth when a large section of society is still fighting to claim its existence? Dear friend. What all you have is the precocious gift of GOD. There are many peoples with the same skill and abilities but they never get the same benefit of it. This is because of the absolute law of karma (http://www.awgp.org/gamma/LiteratureEnglish) and the impartial law of GOD. We should thank him for his bless. But the mechanism of Thanking is not so simple. He doesnt like peoples coming done to temples and enjoying it like a picnic. But he likes people to share his wealth with the poor and miserable ones.This is the time of changing era. This message was said by earlier social and spiritual reformer. No matter whether it was Buddha or Ram or Jesus.Today is the time when we need to judge our ultimate destiny. What will be like our world to become. A place full of selfish and sins peoples (called as kaliyug). Or a place where all of us live with love an peace. Where all peoples are provided with equal wealth, priority. No cast system will be there and all will be considered as pupils of the same divine power (known as satyug). There is no place for those who can not make any decision. Please make sure to be on side of either evil or TRUTH and then decide your life principles based on that only. The time is going to be changed and thus the destiny of the world is also going to be rewritten. But this time there will be no place for blood, war and sins. But there will be only love, companion and peace all over. Please get together and receive the ultimate benefit of contributing your life for the sake of Truth.

Thanks for this post, Tom. There were too many posts implying Gangaji was some sort of fraud. She is one powerful woman. Some people repond to an advaitic teacher and others just get confused. --- tomandcindytraynoratfairfieldlis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Regarding those who she has awakened. I have one friend who went up to ask her a question when she was in FF and the only way he knows her answer was to watch the video. He said he felt himself fall all the way into the self of silence and that has not changed in over 10 years. He knows who he is. I have a 20 minute video clip of Nick Wolfe the former TM Sidhis administrator very elequently explaining his 30+year quest as a seeker and then being a finder in her presence. It is very moving as he explains it very clearly. There is also a very young 20ish female from FF who showed up at a Satsang in CA who relates her awakening as Delightful Confusion. The video is very refreshing as she recounts her time as a seeker born in FF to parents who were seekers and her ultimate decision to chuck it all. Gangaji explained to the audience that the girls words of Delightful Confusion was the best description of awakening she had ever heard. Delightful as it was extremely so and Confusion because the mind was never going to get it. Many of the folks who appear on the videos turn out to be old TMers who finally meet up with the person who can provide the understanding that has been missing.

It is using, in good faith, one statistical method which has its pros and cons. It is here: http://www.thelancet.com/ and is a pretty mature and sensible publication. Exactly. The point is not to nail down the number of excess deaths, but rather to find a rough measure of whether the situation in Iraq has improved or worsened since the invasion, in this specific case with regard to the mortality rate. Here's an excerpt from the Guardian piece I cited by Daniel Davies about the Lancet study: The question that this study was set up to answer was: as a result of the invasion, have things got better or worse in Iraq? And if they have got worse, have they got a little bit worse or a lot worse. Point estimates [i.e., of the number of deaths] are only interesting in so far as they demonstrate or dramatise the answer to this question. The results speak for themselves. There was a sample of 12,801 individuals in 1,849 households, in 47 geographical locations. That is a big sample, not a small one And the results were shocking. In the 18 months before the invasion, the sample reported 82 deaths, two of them from violence. In the 39 months since the invasion, the sample households had seen 547 deaths, 300 of them from violence. The death rate expressed as deaths per 1,000 per year had gone up from 5.5 to 13.3. Talk of confidence intervals becomes frankly irrelevant at this point. If you want to pick a figure for the precise number of excess deaths, then (1.33% - 0.55%) x 26,000,000 x 3.25 = 659,000 is as good as any, multiplying out the difference between the death rates by the population of Iraq and the time since the invasion. But we're interested in the qualitative conclusion here. That qualitative conclusion is this: things have got worse, and they have got a lot worse, not a little bit worse. Whatever detailed criticisms one might make of the methodology of the study (and I have searched assiduously for the last two years, with the assistance of a lot of partisans of the Iraq war who have tried to pick holes in the study, and not found any), the numbers are too big. If you go out and ask 12,000 people whether a family member has died and get reports of 300 deaths from violence, then that is not consistent with there being only 60,000 deaths from violence in a country of 26 million. It is not even nearly consistent. [This is the money quote:] This is the question to always keep at the front of your mind when arguments are being slung around (and it is the general question one should always be thinking of when people talk statistics). How Would One Get This Sample, If The Facts Were Not This Way? There is really only one answer - that the study was fraudulent.[1] It really could not have happened by chance. If a Mori poll puts the Labour party on 40% support, then we know that there is some inaccuracy in the poll, but we also know that there is basically zero chance that the true level of support is 2% or 96%, and for the Lancet survey to have delivered the results it did if the true body count is 60,000 would be about as improbable as this. Anyone who wants to dispute the important conclusion of the study has to be prepared to accuse the authors of fraud, and presumably to accept the legal consequences of doing so. - [1] In the context of the 2004 study [that estimated 100,000 excess deaths], I was prepared to countenance another explanation: that the Iraqis were lying and systematically exaggerating the number of deaths. But in the 2006 study, death certificates were checked and found in 92% of cases. http://tinyurl.com/yzhaa8 There are a *lot* of comments following this article, most positive, some negative, which I haven't had a chance to read.

In what way would the 100 ladies of the MD program be completely occupying a campus built for 500 pundits? Because MD ladies don¹t want to be packed in like sardines the way the pundits would have been. *** Well, the point is, if you are going to build some new housing in VC, then the obvious first step would be to first build housing designed to put the 100 MD members into single rooms, which would instantly give you 500 rooms for pundits when the MD moves out (and it's just absolutely ridiculous to talk about MD being disturbed by having to make the short move to new housing in VC -- they seem to have survived the move from Boone in good order). Since the housing that MD occupies was built for the pundits, if the pundits are indeed coming, then why aren't they going into the housing they were designed for? It's just a waste, since the pundit housing cost about two million and change, but housing the 100 MD in manufactured boxes should only cost about a million. It may be that they don't want to solicit funds to build for MD because they are less popular than the pundits, but whatever the reasoning, it's horseshit not to use available housing that will hold 500 pundits. The number of rooms you get on MD depends primarily on the amount of your sponsorship. Top ladies are 2 to a trailer, which would have held 16 pundits. You can say this is a waste of money/space, but these top ladies bring in mucho money each month. The lowest ladies get 2 rooms and even that is considered a downsizing from what they had in Boone. No way all MD would go into single rooms as that would destroy the multi-tiered feudal/aristocratic social pecking order that has evolved there over the years -- chaos would erupt. I'm curious about the new pundit trailers that are said to have vedic proportions as I think they're still working on getting the unused FEMA trailers in Ark. Wow, Bush is giving away 11,000 vedic trailers in an enlightened attempt to improve the situation in Iraq, no doubt.

The word implies that the person it's aimed at is pretending to be some- thing he is not, preserved because it relates to the response below Exactly. It's usually used to describe someone to an audience that is familiar with the persona that person presents, so the audience already knows the what that is being described as phony... but what *exactly* is it that you think I'm pretending to be. ...so the missing piece in He's a phony isn't what the person is pretending to be--since the audience knows what that is--but what he really *is*.

Thanks for your reply. I'm ignoring it pretty much completely because I don't really care what you believe I'm pretending to be. Like Popeye, I yam what I yam. You are welcome to to your ideas about how best to serve yams; I prefer them with a cherry and maple sugar sauce. :-) I was allowing you to vent. You seemed to need to. Besides, I just wanted to see if you were still silly enough to jump when I asked you to jump. :-) Also, I was a little curious as the arguments you'd use in your response because your recent use of the word 'phony,' and in a thread that had just mentioned Torquemada, reminded me that I had recently read a passage about the use of that very technique. It was in the Practica Inquisitionis, Bernardo Gui's 1323 manual for Inquisitors. In it, he instructs the aspiring Inquisitor in the ways of dealing with a heretic. The stupid ones you can safely bring to trial, but if you find one who is somewhat clever or well-spoken, and he starts being clever in front of the faithful (who might be swayed by his words and begin to doubt the all-powerful nature of the Inquisition), you should immediately shift your strategy and begin to undermine his credibility. In other words, you should call the heretic names, but (and this is the interesting part given the context of your use of the term 'phony') hazy names, not specific names. The word he recommends is 'faux,' false. Its use in his passages is similar to your use of the word 'phony.' He specifically tells the young Inquisitor to avoid saying *what* about the heretic is false. The point is simply to call them false, over and over and over, to make sure that the audience of the faithful begins to associate that word, and no other, with the particular heretic. Sound familiar? (By the way, he even includes a section on how to repond if someone asks you, The heretic in question is a false *what*? He recommends that you say, You all *know* the ways in which the heretic is false. You have seen him with your own eyes. As a result, I find your reply fairly hilarious. Thanks.) You use another technique that is straight out of Gui's manual for Inquisitors, calling people liars. Ooops, sorry...I got the spelling wrong: LIARS. :-) The point again is to *associate* that word with the heretic in the minds of the audience. Gui suggests that they specifically use this word when challenged by a heretic on matters of FAITH or BELIEF. The idea is to make the point that anyone who deviates from the dogma as defined by the Inquisition is not just wrong. They *know* the real Truth, and are attempting to spread heresy by LYING about it, and claiming to believe some- thing else. I'm just bringing these points up for your edification and for possible use in your own self discovery. I mean, the more I read about the Inquisition, the more it becomes obvious (to me, anyway) that you may have done time there. You might want to consider doing a past-life regression and trying to recover some actual memories of those lifetimes. Having flashes from past lives is fun, a bit like watching a movie. And, as with movies, sometimes it's just a pleasant diversion and sometimes you actually learn something. In your case, watching a movie of your Inquisitorial past might enable you overcome some present-day samskaras by becoming aware of what caused them in the past. And even if it doesn't, you'll get to watch the torture scenes again. :-) To

But I need a PC because so many SEO software packages run only on the PC, and there are few if any things I do on the Mac which I couldnt do as well on the PC. An Intel-based Mac would be cool, and I could switch back and forth with that, either by rebooting, with Boot Camp, or without rebooting, with Parallels, but why bother? I could get a lot of PC for the same $$ or less. I have a friend who works at Microsoft who can get me Vista, Office, etc. cheap.

I think there are many levels of awakening, some permanent, some not. I have no idea what she is able to trigger in people. I have to quibble language here, having had a short (two days) interaction with her. At least at that time, she was adamant that she does *nothing* to trigger awakening in those who sit satsang with her. That is, she doesn't zap them with kundalini or darshan or flying woo woo rays or any of the things that lazy seekers would like teachers to do. She's just good at interacting with the seeker to point out the realization that is already present. That said, the awakening that many experience is often temporary. I don't consider that a bad thing, because it later becomes permanent as they become more comfortable with their own realization. That probably depends a lot on them.

[FairfieldLife] The Dictatorship Is Upon Us
Criticizing Cheney to His Face Is Assault? By Matthew Rothschild October 4, 2006 Steve Howards says he used to fantasize about what he'd say to President Bush or Vice President Cheney if he ever got the chance. That opportunity arrived on June 16, the same day he says he read about U.S. fatalities in Iraq reaching 2,500. Howards says he was taking two of his kids to their Suzuki piano camp in Beaver Creek, Colorado. They were walking across the outdoor public mall area when all of a sudden he saw Cheney there. I didn't even know he was in town, Howards says. He was walking through the area shaking hands. Initially, I walked past him. Then I said to myself, 'I can't in good conscience let this opportunity pass by.' So I approached him, I got about two feet away, and I said in a very calm tone of voice, 'Your policies in Iraq are reprehensible.' And then I walked away. Howards says he knew the Administration has a history of making problems for people who protest its policies, so he wanted to leave off at that. But the Secret Service did not take kindly to his comment.About ten minutes later, I came back through the mall with my eight-year-old son in tow, Howards recalls, and this Secret Service man came out of the shadows, and his exact words were, 'Did you assault the Vice President?' Here's how Howards says he responded: No, but I did tell Mr. Cheney the way I felt about the war in Iraq, and if Mr. Cheney wants to be shielded from public criticism, he should avoid public places. If exercising my constitutional rights to free speech is against the law, then you should arrest me. Which is just what the agent, Virgil D. Gus Reichle Jr, proceeded to do. He grabbed me and cuffed my hands behind my back in the presence of my eight-year-old son and told me I was being charged with assault of the Vice President,Howards recalls. He says he told the agent, I can't abandon my eight-year-old son in a public mall. According to Howards, Reichle responded: We'll call Social Services. Before that could happen, however, my son ran away and found my wife, who was nearby, Howards says. First of all, I was scared, Howard recalls. They wouldn't tell my wife where they were taking me. Second of all, I was incredulous this could be happening in the United States of America. This is what I read about happening in Tiananmen Square. They hauled me away to Eagle County jail and kept me with my hands cuffed behind my back for three hours. At the jail, the charge against him was reduced to harassment, he says, and he was released on $500 bond. The Eagle County DA's office eventually dropped that charge. On October 3, Howards sued Reichle for depriving him of his First Amendment right of free speech and his Fourth Amendment right to be protected from illegal seizure. Howards and his attorney, David Lane, have not demanded a specific dollar amount. We will go to trial and let a Colorado jury decide what type of damages are appropriate, says Howards. This isn't about anything I did. This about what I said. There is a frontal assault occurring on our constitutional right to free speech. We brought this suit because of our belief that this Administration's attempt to suppress free speech is a greater threat to the long-term integrity of this nation than ten Osama bin Ladens. Reichle did not return my call for comment. Nor did he respond to The New York Times in its article on this incident. Lon Garner, special agent in charge at the Secret Service's Denver office, says he has no reaction to the lawsuit. It's in litigation, he says. We have no comment. Before his encounter with Cheney, Howards says he had a clean record. I was never arrested before, he says. I don't have so much as a speeding ticket.

I’ve owned both for several years, and I switch back and forth all day long with a KVM switch. But I need a PC because so many SEO software packages run only on the PC, and there are few if any things I do on the Mac which I couldn’t do as well on the PC. An Intel-based Mac would be cool, and I could switch back and forth with that, either by rebooting, with Boot Camp, or without rebooting, with Parallels, but why bother? I could get a lot of PC for the same $$ or less. I have a friend who works at Microsoft who can get me Vista, Office, etc. cheap. I’m open to arguments against this decision.Actually the level of processing power on a Mac compared to say a Dell or other top PC will be the same or cheaper on the Mac. The price argument--along with the "no software on the Mac"--are all out the window (no pun intended), as numerous articles you can find will tell you. What many don't realize is that the BSD-flavor of UNIX that all the Macs run on these days, also runs literally thousands of open source apps that Linux users talk so much about. In fact all recent Mac's also include compilers, which when connected to an internet connection, can download source code, compile and include dependencies, etc. for ready to run apps. It really is amazing what they've been able to do. And also as WINE on the Mac improves (or maybe is included eventually by Apple) this will not only allow you to run Wintel apps, but you will be able to run them without the cursed Windows operating system.Of course if tons of people go over to Apple, hackers will just eventually start writing malware for that platform as well. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

[FairfieldLife] Tofu chicken and feeling lobster penises
(I wrote the following for my two brothers on the anniversay of my dad's passing) So I was thinking of my father the other day, being that it was the first anniversary of his passing...and I thought you may be interested in this little anecdote. In the last 5 or 6 years of his life, even before he had his first stroke, I would cook for him when he came here in the winter, simply because he was getting on in years; I would cook for him here and his care-taker, of course, would cook for him back home in the summer. Breakfasts, though, were his exclusive domain...even after the stroke and, I assume right up to the last, life-ending stroke of last year he still made his breakfast of 11 grain cereal, a tomato, green pepper slices, cheese, and 5 olives. He'd cook the cereal on the stove, which was quite a feat for an 86-year-old. I always expected the house to burn down but, to his credit, it never did. Anyway, I would cook for him but never, ever knew whether he actually liked my cooking because he was more concerned as a father to give me positive reinforcement for my activity...so I never knew what the hell he liked when I made something. I always told him to be honest with me so that I knew what to make and not make for him but the feedback system never caught on; it was like dealing with a Japanese businessman who, as I understand from reading about them, never tell you their true feelings because their culture is never to insult their associates so you always have to divine what they're thinking. Dad, I'm not a mind reader. Tell me if you don't like something. The best I could decipher was that the word interesting meant he hated it and superb was passable and absolutely superb meant he may actually try it again...but only once again. The man loved his platitudes and superlatives. Well, one of the things I knew with 100% certainty that he does like is seafood and, with the exception of my favourite -- sushi -- he likes all kinds of it. And the king of seafoods is lobster. The man loved his lobster. And you'd think that getting lobster out here in the desert would be a hard, expensive task but, thanks to the good people at Wal-Mart, it wasn't. For about $13.00 a pound you can have the near-minimum- wage Wal-Mart fish-monger scoop out a live lobster in their holding tank and steam it there for you right on the premises. And did you know that there is a difference between male and female lobsters? Females have the roe or babies within them practically every time you open them up. My experience is that most people love the females for that reason; not Dad. He loved the males because he didn't want any little fetuses infringing upon any of his beloved lobster tail meat...and he also claimed that the male meat tastes better. So I learned about 20 years ago from him how to feel for the penis of a lobster. Yes, I'm not kidding. I got instructions from the man on how to pick up a lobster at the store, turn him over, and put my index finger on the double icky protrusions on the crustacean's underside -- two insect-like mini-extremities on each side of the underbelly. I know that if they came together in the middle like two swords crossing at the beginning of a joust that it was a male and if they just stayed on each side of the underbelly it was a female. But, oh no, visual inspection wasn't enough; you had to run your finger over the two digits and if they're hard, they're male; if not, they're female. It's a wonder I haven't needed major psychoanalysis. And I never got it right. Why? Because the turn-over of personnel at Wal-Mart, that's why (bear with me here because if I can show you a cause-effect relationship between the geo-economic hiring practices of Wal-Mart and the science of crustacean gender-determination I am an utter genius). You see, whoever works the fish tanks at Wal-Mart knows enough how to fish out the lobster you point at outside the tank, and knows how to steam them but doesn't know the secret of penis-feeling that had been handed down to me in a secret family ceremony. And I'm sorry, but I am too embarrassed to run my finger over lobster genitals in a busy Wal-Mart Superstore. And on top of that, every time the monger would fish out lobsters from the tank it would attract a crowd (I think Americans view any holding pen with live animals in it as a petting zoo). So there was no way I was going to stroke lobster penises in front of the monger, let alone the growing crowd of moms with tykes in strollers. And, besides, I think there's a bylaw prohibiting inter-species fondling. But Dad was right: you do need to get down and dirty; visual inspection is not enough...you actually do have to feel for it. So half the lobsters I bought ended up being females and he would demand to know why I couldn't conduct the simple procedure he had painstakingly taught me in order to secure males. I would meekly say that Wal-Mart had a

Shemp, this is absolutely charming, a perfectly lovely tribute to your father. It's also extremely well written. I'll bet a buck you could get it published, on, say, the Saturday New York Times op-ed page. They usually have at least one op-ed piece on Saturdays that's light and funny and personal (they do today, in fact--have a look). You could probably get it published in a local paper as well, if they're not too squeamish about the language (you may have to clean up a couple of the words, even for the Times), and there are probably lots of other publications as well that would love to have it. You won't be able to get money for it, most likely, but it would be nice to be able to introduce a lot of people to your fascinating father (as well as giving them a course in lobster gender identification), as you've done here with us.

I have been completely unable to crash Windows XP. Previous Windoze releases, I could crash at will. But XP is actually pretty solid. Oh now you can get a pointer wrong and get a default error (which you'd better). ;-) But it won't crash the whole system but something involving a low level driver like a video card can bring it down. I've had XP Pro reboot on me a couple months back in fact because of that. But for the average user they won't see crashes. One of the big reasons is that Gates shut down development a few years back and had the crew looking for bugs in the source. My friends who worked there had some interesting tales of things that were found that had been in Windows for years (16-bit address pointers where 32-bit was required for example). Then we have the people to be first on their block with Vista. I'll pass. We seem to have MS and Apple TBs here.

[FairfieldLife] The Final Solution
The final solution for the TMO to succeed is to simply set up domes all over the world,self sufficient monastic type structures. If the MMY Effect works as they claim then that's all that is needed to save the world, nothing else. From the MMY Effect created, all the other benifits will be carried out, ie., organic food, arcitecture, medicine, etc. by secondary brach organisations. The foundation for saving the world should be the dome activity and everything else will follow. Mark Von Trumpledorf.

For me, the ability to play *any* type of online multimedia is of primary importance, and I don't trust Linux or even a Mac to handle all Windows Media Player content. I recently switched from Win2000 to XP only because I started encountering too many sites requiring WMP 10, which is not available for Win2000. Heh. How's WMP at MPEG-4 content? Dunno. Don't care. I use Zoom Player and Quicktime for viewing most downloaded files. And I'll match the formats supported by QuickTime vs the formats supported by WMP any day of the week. That's all very nice, but if you hit a website that requires WMP 10 in order to play embedded streaming video, Quicktime is going to sit there, not doing a goddamn thing. I started coming across websites that wouldn't work with WMP 9 in Win2000, not even with IE; I had to fire up the XP laptop to see the embedded content. And, even with WMP 10 on XP, I sometimes have to load a site in IE because it won't work in Firefox. I now use a Quicktime plugin called Flip4Mac, which not only allows me access to all those Window Media files online, but also allows me to encode any QT file as a .wmv file or .wma file. Pretty nice. http://www.flip4mac.com/ Since Internet Explorer will run at native speed now on Macs, it's kind of a moot point for Mac users with current systems. Not sure if anyone got it to work yet without the Windows OS (in WINE for Mac), but once they do, there's no reason to switch back. In fact I suspect with the advent of Vista, you'll see huge numbers of people coming back to the Mac OS, currently more of a Mercedes of OS's: it's the best, but only for the few. So Vaj, you're a Mac TB'er? :) BTW, Linux also has the same method of essentially running WMV drivers in things like MPlayer on Intel based Linux. BTW, Microsoft also has a Linux division now so some things maybe even Explorer may show up on Linux. Why? Well some of the big boys like HP and IBM are promoting Linux for servers.

In the last 5 or 6 years of his life, even before he had his first stroke, I would cook for him when he came here in the winter, simply because he was getting on in years; I would cook for him here and his care-taker, of course, would cook for him back home in the summer. Breakfasts, though, were his exclusive domain...even after the stroke and, I assume right up to the last, life-ending stroke of last year he still made his breakfast of 11 grain cereal, a tomato, green pepper slices, cheese, and 5 olives. He'd cook the cereal on the stove, which was quite a feat for an 86-year-old. I always expected the house to burn down but, to his credit, it never did. Anyway, I would cook for him but never, ever knew whether he actually liked my cooking because he was more concerned as a father to give me positive reinforcement for my activity...so I never knew what the hell he liked when I made something. I always told him to be honest with me so that I knew what to make and not make for him but the feedback system never caught on; it was like dealing with a Japanese businessman who, as I understand from reading about them, never tell you their true feelings because their culture is never to insult their associates so you always have to divine what they're thinking. Dad, I'm not a mind reader. Tell me if you don't like something. The best I could decipher was that the word interesting meant he hated it and superb was passable and absolutely superb meant he may actually try it again...but only once again. The man loved his platitudes and superlatives. Well, one of the things I knew with 100% certainty that he does like is seafood and, with the exception of my favourite -- sushi -- he likes all kinds of it. And the king of seafoods is lobster. The man loved his lobster. And you'd think that getting lobster out here in the desert would be a hard, expensive task but, thanks to the good people at Wal- Mart, it wasn't. For about $13.00 a pound you can have the near- minimum- wage Wal-Mart fish-monger scoop out a live lobster in their holding tank and steam it there for you right on the premises. And did you know that there is a difference between male and female lobsters? Females have the roe or babies within them practically every time you open them up. My experience is that most people love the females for that reason; not Dad. He loved the males because he didn't want any little fetuses infringing upon any of his beloved lobster tail meat...and he also claimed that the male meat tastes better. So I learned about 20 years ago from him how to feel for the penis of a lobster. Yes, I'm not kidding. I got instructions from the man on how to pick up a lobster at the store, turn him over, and put my index finger on the double icky protrusions on the crustacean's underside -- two insect-like mini-extremities on each side of the underbelly. I know that if they came together in the middle like two swords crossing at the beginning of a joust that it was a male and if they just stayed on each side of the underbelly it was a female. But, oh no, visual inspection wasn't enough; you had to run your finger over the two digits and if they're hard, they're male; if not, they're female.

Definitely worth a try. It occurs to me that you'd need to shorten it significantly for the Times op-ed page, which will be tough, because the various parts of the tale are so nicely integrated. Op-eds are ideally about 650 words; your piece is about 1,870, but they *say* they'll consider pieces of any length. If you could get it down to 1,000 words, you might be OK--or they might end up cutting it down themselves. The Times gets HUGE numbers of op-ed submissions, BTW, so your chances just in general aren't high.

In what way would the 100 ladies of the MD program be completely occupying a campus built for 500 pundits? Because MD ladies don¹t want to be packed in like sardines the way the pundits would have been. *** Well, the point is, if you are going to build some new housing in VC, then the obvious first step would be to first build housing designed to put the 100 MD members into single rooms, which would instantly give you 500 rooms for pundits when the MD moves out (and it's just absolutely ridiculous to talk about MD being disturbed by having to make the short move to new housing in VC -- they seem to have survived the move from Boone in good order). Since the housing that MD occupies was built for the pundits, if the pundits are indeed coming, then why aren't they going into the housing they were designed for? It's just a waste, since the pundit housing cost about two million and change, but housing the 100 MD in manufactured boxes should only cost about a million. It may be that they don't want to solicit funds to build for MD because they are less popular than the pundits, but whatever the reasoning, it's horseshit not to use available housing that will hold 500 pundits. The number of rooms you get on MD depends primarily on the amount of your sponsorship. Top ladies are 2 to a trailer, which would have held 16 pundits. You can say this is a waste of money/space, but these top ladies bring in mucho money each month. The lowest ladies get 2 rooms and even that is considered a downsizing from what they had in Boone. No way all MD would go into single rooms as that would destroy the multi-tiered feudal/aristocratic social pecking order that has evolved there over the years -- chaos would erupt. * They could put the pundits, if they come in the promised numbers, into the facility that was built for them, and build whatever custom design for MD that suited them in a new facility in Vedic City (and suited them better than a facility built for 500 pundits) -- no need to upset the social order in MD-land, and the total cost of providing housing for all parties would be much less if they moved MD out. The fact that they are apparently not going to is only a monument to lazy and incompetent management.
