Also I tend to like to select movies that match my mood and to have some company just send me a movie on a list doesn't make it. And I was an early customer of Netflix before rental shops started carrying large selections of DVDs. As for the movie group I was just curious what happened.

[FairfieldLife] uniting all of maharishi's hearts...
Greetings fellow family members of the Holy Tradition! I would like to formally introduce you to Dr. Diane M. Rousseau and The INSTITUTE OF SPIRITUAL SCIENCES www.institutespiritualsciences.org The principle behind The Institute of Spiritual Sciences is to bring to the public's attention Higher Education in: Consciousness Raising Techniques and Knowledge of SRM Meditation Understanding of the Spiritual Sciences and Practical Living / Self Sufficiency. The intention of The Institute of Spiritual Sciences is to serve humanity in preserving and bestowing the knowledge and teachings of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's SRM and Transcendental 'Deep' Meditation so that all humanity may benefit from having access to it. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi teaches to first seek the kingdom within (to know/experience god) then all things are given (spiritual/material etc.). Thus he has given humanity: TEACH THE PEOPLE HOW TO MEDITATE LET THEM EXPERIENCE/KNOW GOD (LIBERATION > THIS IS PEACE WITHIN) THEN THERE WILL BE PEACE ON EARTH. This is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's teachings in simplicity. Spiritual life, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, is one's spirit in which is not overshadowed by the objectivity of experience. To live spiritually, one learns the art and practice of Transcendental 'Deep' Meditation which purifies the intellect...it is a process in which to experience the subtle state of the thought and arrive at the source of thought. The source of thought is the field of infinite energy and intelligence. In science it is called the unified field, in religious terms this is god love ... atman > pure being. The Institute of Spiritual Sciences will serve as a teaching Institute...one that will span the globe teaching perpetual self-referral / self reliance through Vedic knowledge to all people of all faiths and backgrounds. All will and do benefit from this wisdom as eternal truths are eternal as they are the root of all knowledge present in all faiths/walks of life. Dr. Rousseau, previous head of Maharishi's Ayur-Veda Jyotish Program / Maharishi Ayur-Veda Gems International, worked under Charlie and Helen Lutes for almost 30 years (until his passing in 2001) and it is our interest to unite together all of the Maharishi's hearts...all of you who love Maharishi and his teachings. There are many long time meditators who currently are and/or those who have been looking for a way to serve Maharishi and promote his teachings...we at ISS are looking to connect with all of you as there is so much that can be accomplished together. Educators, initiators (both re-certified and not re-certified) and those devoted due to your pure love for the master are all invited to contact Dr. Rousseau and the Institute so that we can unite all interested in working together within and without the corporate structure already in place. Please also feel free to share with ISS your experiences with Maharishi or for many of you, your experiences in doing projects for Maharishi that you enjoyed most (as some of you have some excellent stories to tell spreading TM around the world!) We look forward to meeting you all! namaste *deedee* LOVE > love is the supreme blessing of life; love as love is universal. personal love is concentrated universal love. have my love and enjoy.

So far in November, they > account for 47% of all posts made. "So far in November" represents a grand total of a day and a half. Couple of points here. First, this is obviously atypical; it's a function of the fact that a hot political topic came up, and all three of us have a particular interest in politics. Second, when several people who have an interest in a topic happen to be reading and replying to posts at the same time, you have a situation in which the conversations on that topic are taking place almost in real time, as in a chat room, so there are many more posts than usual from these participants over a relatively short span. And finally, an unrelated point: Barry has been reminded several times now that many if not most of our posts are *short*. If there were a way to count the number of words each poster contributes, our totals would likely be a whole lot closer to Barry's. Actually it isn't entirely unrelated. Barry is fixated on number of posts as a percentage of the total, but that's a rather artificial way of evaluating a poster's output and the quality of their contribution to the forum. And one more thing: If I were a newbie casing the joint, I would be more quickly discouraged by the lazy way many posts here are formatted; sloppy formatting makes it very hard for a newbie to get a good picture of what's going on. And it's not just newbies; I suspect there's a certain level of frustration for regular posters as well. Excessive quoting is a big problem. It's a pain in the neck to have to scroll down endlessly to find a single original line at the bottom of a post. Long line lengths that force the last word or two down to a new, very short line make posts very difficult to read, especially as they get quoted. And a couple of posters--Vaj for one--use email programs that for some reason *double-space* what is being quoted. A prolonged exchange becomes almost totally unreadable when these three problems are combined. And then several posters' messages somehow manage to move the right margin out beyond the message window (this has been the case with Peter's posts recently), making it necessary to scroll every line horizontally, in addition to vertically. Some of these problems may cause more trouble on this rotten Yahoo Web interface, but if it's newbies we're so worried about, they're likely to be sampling the forum on the Web page before they decide to subscribe. In any case, they're all pretty easily fixed. Snip your quotes; use short lines, even if it means you can't use word wrap; set your email program to single-space; and adjust your right margin.

I made some points about Barry's "newbie" sally (which, interestingly enough, he's not mentioned previously in all his ranting) in my previous post. Here I'll just note that any newbie who expected most of the posts in this forum to relate to his or her personal interests obviously didn't read the home page, where it says explicitly "Pretty much any topic is fair game" (as we have to keep pointing out to nablus). > To me, the issue is a social one.

Mark For $15 a month if you don't mind waiting a few weeks for the "latest and greatest" you can take home 3 DVDs at a time from Hollywood Video and keep them for up to 5 days. The thing I like about HV over Blockbuster is that they stock unrated movies, not porn but films that were made the way the director wanted instead of dumbed down for the public. Technically you get 90 movies a month to watch if you watched 3 each day and then took them back the next.

That works out to be about 2 Spairaig's a day in shit. Miami Zoo Hosts Poop ExhibitOct 30 7:03 PM US/EasternBy JESSICA GRESKOAssociated Press WriterMIAMIMeadow muffins. Guano. Feces. Solid waste. Caca. The words for poop are endless, but the Miami Metrozoo has another term to add to the list: educational. Now on display is a 5,000-square- foot exhibit on excrement titled "The Scoop on Poop," which invites visitors to explore the science of scat. The exhibit is filled with photos of animals in some of their most indelicate moments. Stool sample models abound: haylike football-sized balls (elephant), kidney-bean- looking pellets (porcupine) and coallike lumps coated with fur (black bear). Beyond the "ick" factor, however, zoo officials and the exhibit's creators say there is a lot of information being imparted. Visitors can smell the stench of flowers that mimic dung to attract flies for pollination. Videos include one of a hippo spreading its droppings around to mark its territory. Simple games include "Who Dung It?" "We didn't want this to be a gross exhibit for shock value," said Chad Peeling, who helped create the display. "Our goal with the exhibit was to make people think, kids especially, about the science in all aspects in life and this thing that adults don't like to talk about." Miami is the exhibit's second stop after opening at a Virginia museum in May. Created by Clyde Peeling's Reptiland _ whose namesake is Chad Peeling's father _ in Allenwood, Pa., it is based on a 2001 book of the same name. After the exhibit closes at the Metrozoo in January, it will make stops in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Redding, Calif. The exhibit is not the first to feature feces, however. An exhibit called "All the Poop" toured Japan in 2001 and another in England showcased scat samples. On a recent afternoon one woman cheered "go, go, go" as two children raced model dung beetles at a station in the Miami exhibit. Students on a class trip posed in a cutout of a person sitting in an outhouse. Others examined slides of parasites found in dung using a microscope, while classmates weighed themselves on a scale designed to tell them how long it takes an elephant to poop their weight. "I don't think it's that disgusting," said Bruno Cazarini, 13, of the exhibit's topic. "I think plenty of people get the wrong impression." Cazarini, who was visiting the zoo with a school group, said he knew about dung beetles, some of which burrow inside dung to eat and rest. But he did not know about its uses as a type of waterproof plaster for the homes of Masai people in East Africa, which he learned from information at the exhibit. Adults have had fun with material, too. Some volunteers and zoo employees have started wearing plastic poop pins that look like the real thing. Zoo personnel have also brought out a bowl of chocolate- covered candy, inviting visitors to take one if they dare. Elephant keepers, meanwhile, were charged with weighing the amount of elephant poop one of the zoo's Asian male elephants, Dahlip, produces in a 24-hour period. The total: 540 pounds. Meanwhile, a commercial for the exhibit, which will begin running shortly, has already shown up on YouTube. One couple, who are zoo donors, even called to offer to loan the zoo a scat sample of their own. The pair has a lump of excrement from 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat enclosed in a glass globe, which the zoo plans to put on exhibit within a few weeks.

Barry's in full-blown grasping-at-straws mode. The notion that regular contributors to a forum should change their posting habits for the sole purpose of attracting some imaginary newbie-- especially when that forum already has oogobs of members--makes no sense at all. Plus which, a newbie who decides on the basis of a single visit to a forum like this one that it contains no interesting material would have to be a newbie to electronic forums in general. If I were a newbie casing this forum (or any other), I'd make several visits over the course of a couple of weeks before making up my mind, because I know that with this kind of group, the topics and posters vary widely from day to day. > > I have seen successful attempts at changing the discourse > > on this forum numerous times, and I observe that it results > > from coming up with something engaging and stimulating, vs. > > attempting to censor anyone. > > I agree.

This is your *fantasy* about me, Barry.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The mystery of injera!
No, Sir Lawson. Cleopatra was 90% percent Greek. She was a direct decendent of Ptolemy, Alexander's General, who later became the ruler of Egypt after Alexander's death. Ptolemy collected books with passion and preserved the Library of Alexandria. The Queen of Sheba was an African.sparaig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 18:55:10 -Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: The mystery of injera!

Your attempting to fill in holes that don't exist, presume much that has never occurred and regurgitate your own projections on the flesh of my statements as if my signature is as condiment to your upchuck for reconsumtion. Three-fourths of all the pain and suffering people experience in life are due to the pleasures others derive in inflicting it upon them. I want every person to be complete in themselves. Your himsa has no place in my mission. Of all that anyone leading or teaching has to convey, the most valuable thing to cultivate and convey to others is a moral conscience.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Renowned Scientist Defects From Belief in Global Warming
Sorry for the late response. We had a thunderstorm, Lightning struck and burnt my Modem. Actually, 20,000 years ago in the thick of the last ice age, Sea levels were hundreds of feet lower than today. Tremendous amount of water was locked in ice covering the whole of Europe, Russia etc. From the Tip of South-Africa to Australia was one unbroken coastline.!! From Australia to Tip of South-America was also one unbroken coastline.!! Coming and going of ice-age has something to do with the precession of the earth axis. When the axis tilts to 24 degree the world cools and ice sheets begin to advance. When the axis starts moves towards 23 degrees ice sheets melt and warming phase starts. Right now the Earth's axis is 23.5 degrees. Fossil records for the past 50 million years show periodic extinction of mammals coresponding with the precession of the axis and also the advancing and receding of the periodic ice ages. Computer simulation in Super-computers show that a rise in the Average Global temperature by a few degrees would wipe out the Rain-forests in the Tropics. Tropical Rain-forests are extremely sensitive to temperature flucations. A rise in Average Global temperature will see the Rain-forests replaced by Savanna grasslands. The loss of bio-diversity will be massive.ShempMcGurk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 19:05:49 -Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Renowned Scientist Defects From Belief in Global Warming Good!

It's not as if the war crimes were a big secret until the Winter Soldier meeting; the guys who were over there knew what was going on. >From the Dick Cavett Show (Shemp posted this and the next quote earlier): MR. KERRY: "Well, I have often talked about this subject. I personally didn't see personal atrocities in the sense that I saw somebody cut a head off or something like that. However, I did take part in free fire zones and I did take part in harassment interdiction fire. I did take part in search-and-destroy missions in which the houses of noncombatants were burned to the ground. And all of these, I find out later on, these acts are contrary to the Hague and Geneva Conventions and to the laws of warfare. So in that sense, anybody who took part in those, if you carry out the applications of the Nuremberg principles, is in fact guilty." And from Meet the Press: MR. KERRY (Vietnam Veterans Against the War): "There are all kinds of atrocities and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare. All of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down. And I believe that the men who designed these, the men who designed the free-fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals."

I have no problem with that. But you've been here a while. In my long post I was presenting the case for what such (IMO) compulsive overposting does to the potential *newbie*, to someone who has not yet had a chance to see whether this forum contains interesting material, and who may never get to see that if they are turned off in their first visit. > I have seen successful attempts at changing the discourse on this > forum numerous times, and I observe that it results from coming up > with something engaging and stimulating, vs. attempting to censor > anyone. I agree. But failing that :-), I was just trying one more time to appeal to the human being inside the compulsive poster. I'll do it one last time and then let the subject drop. Shemp, I love you, man. You're *funny* in a way that many others here are not. And you've got some good things to say. It's just that the posts in which you seem to have no other intent in mind but to provoke someone and push their buttons are not included in my list of your "good things to say" posts. Sparaig, you've got some great things to say, too. I just wish that you'd do it in fewer actual posts, and that you'd lay off trotting out the old, tired arguments that people like us (that is, TM teachers) *taught* you, as if hearing them again will somehow entice us to come back to the fold. And Judy, you're more intelligent than to really believe that you actually win when you think that you "win." You'd make a better impression if you just presented your arguments once or twice, cogently, and then kicked back and allowed others to do the same. Your tendency to treat each opinion that is contrary to yours as an opportunity (and, truly, a *need*) to "win" some imagined battle undercuts the real and valuable things you have to say. To all of you, if you tried to limit yourselves to ten posts a day, you would *still* be posting more than anyone else here. But I think that at that point the subject of your "overposting" would never again come up, and you'd have gained some respect from your peers in the process. To continue to ignore the feedback you have been getting for *months* now can only be interpreted as a lack of respect for those who have given it to you. *Trying* to cut down a little would be IMO a good way to establish that you do have some respect for the others here. Even if you fail at the attempt it would demonstrate some respect. No trying, no respect. There. I've tried to treat them like adults. Let's see if there is actually an adult home to hear it. > PS I do find your posted % of posters thing interesting. I think it's fascinating, too. When new.morning first posted the statistics on the most prolific posters, I was shocked and embarrassed to find myself near the top. I have endeavored to lower my standing ever since. Having to keep saying stuff like this, to adults who should have been able to hear it long ago, does not help in that endeavor. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

Yes he might have changed his view but I stay with the earlier one. If they couldn't accept me with a moustache I can believe in anything they won't accept, including Master Moy! By the way I am grateful for the shove out by Neil Patterson, it was the final push onto new things but that doesn't mean I like him for it. In fact most people around Maharishi are suspect for the very reason they are still around him. No minds of their own or else self-serving interests.

[FairfieldLife] Re: I love Maharishi. Why?
David, A discussion about how someone comes to believe something that I do not, a meta discussion about beliefs themselves, is one to the best thing about participating here. I am as stuck in my own perspective as anyone, and I am not really looking for new content, just more understanding about the process of our beliefs. When I first dropped my spiritual perspective, I focused on the content of beliefs more, and predictably felt I had little in common with people on a spiritual forum. Over time I began to notice that in fact everyone had a mix of what they selected out of all possible beliefs, no one believes everything. I have heard it said that an atheist just believes in one less god than a theist since most people don't believe in Zeus or other gods from man's long past. The theist has good reasons for not believing in all the possible versions of god and choosing their own preference. Both theist and atheist share more disbelief so they have all that in common. To have a respectful discussion with someone with a different set of belief choices is a privilege that I appreciate. BTW I think the information on the site about the violence in schools was overly pessimistic. Although we have had some horrible high profile cases lately, violence in schools is down from a decade ago. I am constantly trying to swim upstream against the non intuitive nature of statistical reality verses the skewed impression created by the media. I think we can make a good case about the world being better off or worse off depending on what we pay attention to from the overwhelming details in the world. We may all may just be seeing our own perceptual filter choices, but it is fun to try to break out of them. Thanks for the assistance!

However, quite a few people here have commented on the effect that their *lack of self control* in posting has had on the newsgroup. Imagine being a newbie, drawn to FFL by the blurb on the home page, and trying to read through it yesterday and today. What you would find is a group that *appears* to be dominated by three rather vociferous and harsh people. Their posts constitute almost half of everything you could read on the forum. They seem to do nothing but argue (or, to be kind, they seem to do nothing but argue in 80% of their posts). And they argue, for the most part, about subjects that have little or nothing to do with the subjects that attracted you as a newbie to the group in the first place. Would you be moved to give such a group a second try? To me, the issue is a social one. Quite a few people here have tried, in one way or another to *get through* to these three and tell them that their lack of self control and tendency to dominate the forum by regularly posting twice to six times as much as the other regular posters is not appreciated. People have asked them politely to cut down. Others have suggested giving them an enforced "time out." Still others have stopped reading them entirely. BUT (and this is the important thing IMO), *at no point* in all of this has any of the three ever given the impression that they *hear* what the other members of their community are saying to them. Shemp actually treats it as a joke, and continues to make posts that seem to have *no other function* but to provoke the other two, and cause them to post even more. Sparaig reacts to posts like mine that point out his habits by *posting even more*. And although Judy *has* cut down a little from her highs of a few months ago, whenever the subject comes up she reacts by claim- ing that people (me, in particular) are trying to silence or censor her. I think I speak for many people here in saying that all we're asking is for these three to CATCH A FUCKIN' CLUE and realize that what they are doing is socially unacceptable. A CHILD would have heard the feedback they'd received from their peers by this time and made some attempt to change their unaccpetable behavior. Why haven't these three?

Many good points. (Not *quite* enough emphasis on the shameless behavior of the Republicans, though, for my taste.) The money quote: "The Swift Boat attacks reshaped John Kerry's view of politics," Lockhart said. "I think he thought that politics was a cerebral business, where if you made an honest, just case, people would believe you, and he found out that politics is an emotion-based business where facts and fiction often get mixed up and good fiction often trumps good facts."

It looks pretty innocuous. There are no questions about previous practices or statements of specific loyalty to the TMO: http://tinyurl.com/u6ptm Whatever can be said about the TMO is that it is always changing. Many here assume that it has continued to change for the worse. I always enjoyed Samuel Jackson's statement, "...making an assumption makes an ass out of you and umption."

[FairfieldLife] Donovan on TM
http://artvoice.com/issues/v5n44/sunshine_supremacy [...] Donovan: [...] I don't get into too much on stage these days but I do talk about meditation, which in retrospect is the true flower of the 1960s. Reintroducing the western world to meditation was what was the trip to India, with myself, the four Beatles and one Beach Boy, was all about. It's important to tell that story. AV: So you are still a big believer and practitioner of transcendental meditation? Donovan: Yes. And that part of it is not a tale of the past at all. It's very much a tale of the present and future. [Film director] David Lynch and I are working very hard to continue TM into schools, so I'm very involved. Through TM, there's a creative field that everyone can contact, not just me, the Beatles or the Stones. We can all access it for own lives and it's not just to make music.

My understanding, from afar, is that the application procedure for most is quite streamlined -- with no strings.

Well, of course it isn't; the two words are most definitely not synonymous. As I keep pointing out, the people Kerry was *accusing* were the civilian and military leadership, not the troops. He believed the troops were the victims of terrible leadership that encouraged or actually *ordered* them to commit war crimes as defined by the Geneva Conventions. > This is why you can never win an argument with her.

What Barry insisted was "censorship" with regard to the 9/11 film on ABC was the appeals to ABC to choose to do something about the situation on its own. In no case did I or anyone else suggest that if ABC refused to take appropriate measures, it should be *forced* to withdraw the film or reschedule it or even give opposing viewpoints a chance to be heard.

Since there were 2 or 3 jokes at Bush's expense immediately before that comment, it would be the most obvious thing to assume that he meant Bush in that one also. Of course, making Jokes at Bush's expense can backfire on you if you say it poorly...

Now, by poking fun at himself over such a serius issue, he was belittling the troops' efforts and sacrifice, but that was NOT the intent.

[FairfieldLife] She's insane: splitting hairs between "accused" and "acknowledged"
I've tried my hardest to stay out of these 100s of postings between Judy, Spare Egg, and MDixon on Kerry. The last paragraph below by Judy is why I try and stay out: Judy is quite possibly insane. You see, according to Judy, Kerry "acknowledged" that he and others he fought beside committed war crimes but his saying that on national TV -- twice! -- isn't the same as "accusing" those he fought beside. This is why you can never win an argument with her. Same with the most recent controversy. Kerry has apologised. He used the words "I apologise". But to Judy, this is not an apology.
