[FairfieldLife] a computer question - is it allowed?
Instead of buying a new laptop is it possible to just buy a faster desktop PC base unit (without monitor or keyboard) and then access this unit from anywhere in the house from my old laptop (which then becomes the wireless keyboard and monitor for the unit)?? I've got XP Home on my laptop. I know there are programs (eg XP Professional has it) where you can control a computer remotely and see the desktop, but does that take advantage of the faster computer capacity or is the process limited by the speed of the controlling computer anyway, in which case my idea is pointless..? I know this is a non-TM question but I noticed there are real PC experts in FFL...

[FairfieldLife] File - FFL Guidelines.txt
Guidelines File 11/18/07 Fairfield Life used to average 75-150 posts a day - 300+ on peak days - and the guidelines included steps on how to deal with the volume. But this volume was due largely to indiscriminate posting by a few members. We now have a policy that limits all members to 50 posts a week. Most participants feel this policy has greatly enhanced the quality of the forum. Members are responsible for counting and restricting their own posts. Those who exceed their weekly quota will be banned without warning for a week (2nd offense, 2 weeks, etc.). Point 1, below, includes the following: Please refrain from personal attacks, insults... Since a few members habitually ignore this guideline, we're going to try putting some teeth in it. Those who can't refrain from flaming (personal attacks) or indulge in gratuitous profanity or sexist, racist, etc. slurs will be warned, then if they persist, will be banned for a week, 2nd offense 2 weeks, etc. -- You can also read FFL posts at http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because it allows sorting by thread and has a better search function. -- Check out http://www.frappr.com/fairfieldlife and add yourself if you feel like it. -- 1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain composure before writing or pushing the send button. 2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 3) Please snip - be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it. Also, if the topic of a thread changes, please change the subject header. If you don't, someone with moderator status will delete your post and post its content in a new post with an accurate header. 4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where relevant. 5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 6) Anonymous posts are permitted, using an account you create. 7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web. Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted and used elsewhere. 8) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are relevant to this group. If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, then let others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion. 9) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific discussion at hand. 10) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal messages to the whole list. 11) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the value to all. Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home page without having to join the list. 12) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. Folders have been set up in the Database, Links and Files sections for listing books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, local events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, useful links, etc. Also check http://fairfieldtoday.com/. 13) Political discussions are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of others' viewpoints. Come with a humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to contribute constructively to everyone's broader awareness. 14) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned it in a post or two, or just to you privately, please refer to that member only by their pseudonym. 15) If you want to make suggestions for the refinement of these guidelines, please post them in the forum.

[FairfieldLife] Does TM increase alpha coherence when compared to controls?
The Coherence Lie: Exposing the Lies of TM research, one at a time. Question: Does TM increase alpha coherence when compared to controls? Answer: No. In a third investigation into the state effects of TM researchers looked at alpha activity (Warrenburg and Pagano, 1982). Three groups of 16 subjects each were studied: longterm TMers, novice TMers and non-meditators who practiced self-instructed relaxation techniques. Equal numbers of males and females were included in each group and all subjects were fully right-handed with no known left-handedness in their immediate families. From the EEG were derived measures of mean integrated alpha activity from parietal and frontal regions, as well as indices of parietal and frontal asymmetry. The results of pre-postcontrol periods ANOVAs revealed no significant effects in either frontal or parietal integrated alpha. ANOVA comparisons of the control and 20 minute treatment (TM) condition means indicated no significant group main effect or interactions for alpha coherence or hemispheric dominance shift. Alpha measures did however actually decrease compared pre-control measures. These results are inconsistent with previous TM research claiming alpha increases. However they are supported by other independent researchers findings that alpha coherence actually decreases during TM along with wakefulness. Manipulation of the base state has been shown to effect the end results, so if one wishes to manipulate findings all one has to do is use a study design that changes the state of cortical arousal during the base period. The data fails to show any increase or asymmetry in alpha coherence.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Atheists targeted by Christians - MySpace has evil owners
Thanks for posting this Edg. Kinda spooky really. This nastiness that some religious people feel justified in laying on Atheists is one of the reasons Sam Harris has proposed that the word is no longer useful. For many people it just creates an unthinking reaction of bad person. I rarely use it when someone asks me what I am. It is too content free to convey much meaning other than emotional reaction. Christians don't call themselves Non Hindus, so why should I be labeled according to what I don't believe? Most religious people have rejected a belief in literally hundreds of mythical god of history for many of the same reasons I have. I just have one less to believe in than they do. Some religious people falsely accuse Atheists of believing in nothing. They conflate the term with nihilism. The term that I find more descriptive and useful is Humanist. I do believe in human's ability to improve the world and rise above self interest. That keeps me plenty busy in life without a deity. And I have chosen plenty of beliefs for rational and irrational reasons to go along with it, so I have nothing to crow about over people who want an idea of God in their life. (this doesn't always stop me however!) Some people use religion for good in their life and for other people and some use it to justify strapping on bombs and walking into cafes or hacking an online networking site for atheists. Atheism doesn't seem to guarantee that someone wont create a Gulag like Stalin and do shitty things to fellow humans. So for me, the ideas of humanism fit and I don't care if it is secular or not. I have been influenced by the formulation of secular humanism by Paul Kurtz.

For the third time in three years, what may be the largest group of organized atheists in the world is struggling to stay on MySpace, said a Cleveland State University assistant professor who founded the site for nonbelievers. MySpace deleted the 35,000-member Atheist and Agnostic Group on Jan. 1, a little more than a month after hackers broke in and renamed the group's site Jesus Is Love, Bryan Pesta said Wednesday. MySpace has ignored repeated requests to restore the group's site, including an online petition with more than 500 signatures, said Pesta, who was the group's moderator. These actions send a clear message to the 30 million godless people in America that we are not welcome on MySpace, Pesta said. A MySpace spokeswoman did not return calls seeking comment. Pesta started the group in 2004 as a social networking site specifically for godless people. Atheists are more likely to be geographically spread out, and the online group provided a sense of community, he said. We're regular people, just like Christians, Muslims and Jews, he said. We like to network. The site grew by about 10,000 people a year to just under 35,000 members by the end of 2007, Pesta said. But it was never without controversy. Two years ago, Pesta said, MySpace deleted the group after an organized campaign from Christians opposing the site. MySpace restored it and promised it would be protected, Pesta said. Last Thanksgiving, hackers broke into the group's site, deleting material and renaming it Jesus Is Love. MySpace restored the site three weeks later but then shut it down

[FairfieldLife] Atonement and Lost
Yup, it is a chick flick. Kind of like those Merchant-Ivory films set in the early 20th century and yes it is supposed to take place right before and at the start of WWII but sure didn't feel that way. It is a masterfully done film though but I wouldn't rate it as high as Turq. In fact on At The Movies (which used to be Ebert-Roeper until Ebert and Disney had a split over it) it didn't even rate in the the 10 top movies list over Roeper or the NYTimes critic on that edition of the show. I saw it at the DLP theater nearby and wondered if it might have looked better at film theater as there were a few scenes that got pixelated though not as much as you would set on an HDTV channel. The theater also just raised their matinee price from $6 to $6.50 and when I asked why they told me due to the increase in minimum wage. Also there were fewer trailers than I've seen there before. Not sure if they decided not to show so many on an arthouse venue or Hollywood is simply running out of films. A friend who does business with a major studio says that over 180 projects have been canceled. I also meant to post a reminder that Lost started its fourth season last night. The story was centered around Hugo this time. I recently learned that Lost was inspired by the computer game Myst and though I am somewhat familiar with the game failed to quite see the the similarity though it is there.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Does TM increase alpha coherence when compared to controls?
Vaj wrote: The Coherence Lie: Exposing the Lies of TM research, one at a time. Question: Does TM increase alpha coherence when compared to controls? Answer: No. In a third investigation into the state effects of TM researchers looked at alpha activity (Warrenburg and Pagano, 1982). Three groups of 16 subjects each were studied: longterm TMers, novice TMers and non-meditators who practiced self-instructed relaxation techniques. Equal numbers of males and females were included in each group and all subjects were fully right-handed with no known left-handedness in their immediate families. From the EEG were derived measures of mean integrated alpha activity from parietal and frontal regions, as well as indices of parietal and frontal asymmetry. The results of pre-postcontrol periods ANOVAs revealed no significant effects in either frontal or parietal integrated alpha. ANOVA comparisons of the control and 20 minute treatment (TM) condition means indicated no significant group main effect or interactions for alpha coherence or hemispheric dominance shift. Alpha measures did however actually decrease compared pre-control measures. These results are inconsistent with previous TM research claiming alpha increases. However they are supported by other independent researchers findings that alpha coherence actually decreases during TM along with wakefulness. Manipulation of the base state has been shown to effect the end results, so if one wishes to manipulate findings all one has to do is use a study design that changes the state of cortical arousal during the base period. The data fails to show any increase or asymmetry in alpha coherence. What about an increase in theta? That's what you want out of meditation. You can go to alpha state with some simple deep breathing or even watching TV believe it or not (must have something to do with the ficker rate). I was part of an independent study at a university back in the 1970's and after the EEG I asked the researcher how much alpha showed up and he said not much, mainly a lot of theta.

I was part of an independent study at a university back in the 1970's and after the EEG I asked the researcher how much alpha showed up and he said not much, mainly a lot of theta. The reason researchers have been largely unimpressed (until recently) with science applied to meditators in general is because since the initial high-amplitude gamma EEG findings on yogis in samadhi in the early 50's, no one had produced research on a unique effect which was outside normal human circadian rhythms. Theta bursts are evident during TM and other meditation methods and are considered somewhat significant, but non-specific and obscure for specific CNS processes. In fact, in some research, the controls had higher levels of theta bursts! So it's still a rather insignificant and non-unique state of consciousness. These occur in normal non-meditating humans with their eyes closed. All that was necessary for control subjects to produce theta bursts was the instruction Deeply relax all your muscles and continue to relax as much as you can for the next 20 minutes. What is interesting to science is a unique, profoundly coherent high- amplitude gamma waves as this has been witnessed in Hindu and Buddhist yogis in samadhi. This phenomenon does not occur in normal non-meditating humans.

[FairfieldLife] Obama's running mate?
Who would Obama pick? (Repugnant topic alert -- even racist to suggest it needs to be considered, but today, I think it holds water.) Concept: the more threatening to the plutocracy that the VP selection is, the less likely that Obama will be assassinated. Obama could be killed just like Bobby if he makes it too clear that he'll cost GlobalBiz any profits. Maybe a slavering ultra lefty like Ramsey Clark/Noam Chompsky/Cindy Sheehan, or an African American with the credentials of, say, Al Sharpton would do the trick. Or a Muslim. Or, hey, WHY NOT HIS WIFE? Yeah, that's the ticket. Any of the above choices would be so odious to the electorate that even McCain could beat that ticket. So, does that leave John Edwards, Biden, Kathleen Sebelius, Tim Kaine, Tom Daschle? My pick: Ron Paul -- only Ron Paul scares Death Inc. more than Obama. I keep thinking Bloomberg and Gore will swoop out from behind the curtains any second now and make a mockery of the primary-process. If Bloomberg runs, he could win.

Has anyone seen this film yet? Possible-spoilers surmised below. I have not seen the film, and I don't care about spoilers and have googled/youtubed Cloverfield ten times and have yet to see any picture of the monster that was clear, well lit, etc. What have I found? Almost nothing. Is that it? Is that all the whole film gives is that last part of the film where we see mostly a silhouetted monster hovering before it descends to attack? I also saw one toothy opened mouthed monster and one shot of the parasites. Where's the beef? Gimme Godzilla any day if all I get is some Blair Witch Hunt murky mysterious monster. And the jerky cameraphone effects suck in the trailers, so a 90 minute experience has to megasuck and then the payoff is 20 seconds of almost nothing?

However about 1/3 of the audience was whining at the end and most of them young folks. They wanted backstory like where the monsters came from. Mainly the movie is about a group of 20 somethings who were at a party in a Manhattan apartment when the monster struck and the rest of the film is about their attempt to escape the city. The conceit is that it is all shot with one of the kid's camcorders and the memory card was recovered by the Pentagon from the devastated area. However I assure you not even the best consumer HD camcorders can take footage that good. Though IMDB credits the Panavision Genesis which is a Sony single chip professional camera made for the movie industry so they could use standard 35mm lenses and gear and is a large camera the rumor is that a smaller Red professional camera was used: www.red.com And yes it is shaky footage but not as distracting as The Kingdom where it really distracted. One thing I liked about the film is that they got the trauma right as so many films have it muted and we all know people would be pretty bonkers if such a thing happened. Just look at 9-11 which is where they got a lot of ideas as to how people would behave. This is done by the folks at BadRobot who do Lost.

Theta bursts are evident during TM and other meditation methods and are considered somewhat significant, but non-specific and obscure for specific CNS processes.

NASA launching Beatles tune into space Fri Feb 1, 11:07 AM ET WASHINGTON - The Beatles are about to become radio stars in a whole new way. NASA on Monday will broadcast the Beatles' song Across the Universe across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star. This first-ever beaming of a radio song by the space agency directly into deep space is nostalgia-driven. It celebrates the 40th anniversary of the song, the 45th anniversary of NASA's Deep Space Network, which communicates with its distant probes, and the 50th anniversary of NASA. Send my love to the aliens, Paul McCartney told NASA through a Beatles historian. All the best, Paul. The song, written by McCartney and John Lennon, may have a ticket to ride and will be flying at the speed of light. But it will take 431 years along a long and winding road to reach its final destination. That's because Polaris is 2.5 quadrillion miles away. NASA loaded an MP3 of the song, just under four minutes in its original version, and will transmit it digitally at 7 p.m. EST Monday from its giant antenna in Madrid, Spain. But if you wanted to hear it on Polaris, you would need an antenna and a receiver to convert it back to music, the same way people receive satellite television. The idea came from Martin Lewis, a Los Angeles-based Beatles historian, who then got permission from McCartney, Yoko Ono and the two companies that own the rights to Beatles' music. One of those companies, Apple, was happy to approve the idea because is always looking for new markets, Lewis said. Perhaps coincidentally, the song's launching comes a day before the release of the DVD of the Julie Taymor movie named after the Beatles hit. No virus found in this outgoing message.

Kind of like those Merchant-Ivory films set in the early 20th century and yes it is supposed to take place right before and at the start of WWII but sure didn't feel that way. It is a masterfully done film though but I wouldn't rate it as high as Turq. In fact on At The Movies (which used to be Ebert-Roeper until Ebert and Disney had a split over it) it didn't even rate in the the 10 top movies list over Roeper or the NYTimes critic on that edition of the show. I saw it at the DLP theater nearby and wondered if it might have looked better at film theater as there were a few scenes that got pixelated though not as much as you would set on an HDTV channel. The theater also just raised their matinee price from $6 to $6.50 and when I asked why they told me due to the increase in minimum wage. Also there were fewer trailers than I've seen there before. Not sure if they decided not to show so many on an arthouse venue or Hollywood is simply running out of films.

If she didn't know her vote was to go to war, Then she was inexperienced in the real world, Which is not the case. She voted to go to war, because she wanted to go to war.

Who would Obama pick? (Repugnant topic alert -- even racist to suggest it needs to be considered, but today, I think it holds water.)

Obama could be killed just like Bobby if he makes it too clear that he'll cost GlobalBiz any profits. Maybe a slavering ultra lefty like Ramsey Clark/Noam Chompsky/Cindy Sheehan, or an African American with the credentials of, say, Al Sharpton would do the trick. Or a Muslim. Or, hey, WHY NOT HIS WIFE? Yeah, that's the ticket. Any of the above choices would be so odious to the electorate that even McCain could beat that ticket. So, does that leave John Edwards, Biden, Kathleen Sebelius, Tim Kaine, Tom Daschle? My pick: Ron Paul -- only Ron Paul scares Death Inc. more than Obama.

I think it is sad how these ultra-conservatives can not tolerate a moderate republican like McCain because he is more interested in solving problems than spouting some Neo-Reagan boilerplate agenda. Also, having spent 7 years in a POW camp and not leaving when he could have because his men could not go with him gets several extra points in my book. Hannity, Colmes, Coulter, what a bunch of effete cupcakes! I personally don't like the guy at all and I sure don't believe he can win the election. John McCain is Dr. Strangelove: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0nqtL-P8kzo Unfortunately, national consciousness is so low, that despite McCain's commitment, displayed in this youtube video link, to fewer jobs and more wars, a promise this psycho will fulfill if he ends up in the White House, McCain has been endorsed by several Governors and certainly will be elected if Obama is the Dem candidate (Hillary might win against him). McCain reminds me of the nutso Presidential candidate in the Steven King film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dead_Zone_(novel) As Stillson walks through the crowd shaking hands, he shakes Johnny's hand, and Johnny suddenly has a horrific vision. He sees Stillson becoming President of the United States sometime in the future, then making an unwise decision, resulting in a massive, worldwide nuclear conflict. In the film/novel, a failed assassination against Stillson aborts his campaign, and he commits suicide. I am not an advocate for assassination or suicide, but of all the prez candidates, McCain stands alone in being a truly dangerous little asshole who would bring an intense amount of grief to this country and the world, so let's hope his campaign fails. The people who know McCain best -- other Republican senators -- detest him, like Iowa's Grassley and many others: In 1999, Jake Tapper reported on an incident in which McCain got into a shouting match with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). Grassley got in McCain's face, and the two pit bulls started barking at each other while the other senators in the room sat back and watched. The pair got so close to one another that the senator who tells me the story aware that because of war injuries, McCain's arms don't fully extend was convinced McCain was going to drive the top of his head into Grassley's nose. I was convinced that bone fragments were going to go into Chuck's brain, and I was sitting there and was about to witness a murder. McCain suddenly stood up. But instead of a head-butting homicide, he delivered a crushing blow of words. You know, senator, McCain said, seething, I thought your problem was that you don't listen. But that's not it at all. Your problem is that you're a f**king jerk. These apparently aren't isolated incidents. I have witnessed incidents where he has used profanity at colleagues and exploded at colleagues, said former Senator Bob Smith, a New Hampshire Republican who served with McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on Republican policy committees. He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that. McCain's outbursts often erupted when other members rebuffed his requests for support during his bid in 2000 for the Republican nomination for president. A former Senate staffer recalled what happened when McCain asked for support from a fellow Republican senator on the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. The senator explained that he had already committed to support George Bush, the former Senate staffer said. McCain said `f**k you' and never spoke to him again. Keep in mind, we're talking about McCain dropping F-bombs on Republicans. http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/13648.html
[FairfieldLife] Cloverfield-Stupid Ass Movie
Skip this one, or wait until it goes on the discount shelf at the rental store. A variation on King Kong. One example of the dumbness: One lady (a main character) runs frantically through streets, across bridges in 2 high heel shoes. At one point she takes them off when she has to traverse a roof top of twisted metal, glass, and all manner of sharp edges. Another lady is terribly wounded one moment, and running at full speed a few minutes later. The first twenty minutes is a boring home video of some boring ass party. Edg, you'll like this part. The main character is feted at the beginning because he has landed some fancy job, with a lot of money. Because of this, throughout the movie, his ideas are assumd to be superior, and followed by everyone else in this total panic situation I'm not conveying it well, but it struck me as stupid as the lady running around madly in her heels. The main purpose of the ending seems to be for a sequal. I saw it with my 12 year old. I wishI had taken him to see I am Legend (would have been my second time). THAT, is a one worth seeing.
[FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch- please lead secular organization to teach TM
David Lynch has been conspicuously unmanifest at TMO activities since the Berlin Raja fiasco last Fall. David Lynch, are you out there ? Thank you for your dedication to students through your leadership in funding teaching TM widely to students. The simple instruction of TM is a universally good thing. Might you direct a new secular TM instruction organization? TM's simplicity and universality are compromised by the overtly religious TMO of 2008. Association with the current religious TMO makes the TM technique vastly irrelevant to the larger world. The inevitable partisan orientation of religious organizations makes the wide-scale teaching of TM highly unlikely as long as it is associated with the current overtly religious TMO. The timing is right for a return to the secular presentation of TM. There are tens of thousands of TM teachers worldwide who might re-dedicate their coming retirement years to teaching secular TM again, as it was taught until 1975. Simple TM am pm, with an occasional residence course... no products no yagyas..etc. What do you think ? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=F4wh_mc8hRE

Targeted Therapy Articles Molecular targets of dietary agents for prevention and therapy of cancer. Aggarwal BB, Shishodia S. posted November 2006 While fruits and vegetables are recommended for prevention of cancer and other diseases, their active ingredients (at the molecular level) and their mechanisms of action less well understood. Extensive research during the last half century has identified various molecular targets that can potentially be used not only for the prevention of cancer but also for treatment. However, lack of success with targeted monotherapy resulting from bypass mechanisms has forced researchers to employ either combination therapy or agents that interfere with multiple cell-signaling pathways. In this review, we present evidence that numerous agents identified from fruits and vegetables can interfere with several cell-signaling pathways. The agents include curcumin (turmeric), resveratrol (red grapes, peanuts and berries), genistein (soybean), diallyl sulfide (allium), S-allyl cysteine (allium), allicin (garlic), lycopene (tomato), capsaicin (red chilli), diosgenin (fenugreek), 6-gingerol (ginger), ellagic acid (pomegranate), ursolic acid (apple, pears, prunes), silymarin (milk thistle), anethol (anise, camphor, and fennel), catechins (green tea), eugenol (cloves), indole-3-carbinol (cruciferous vegetables), limonene (citrus fruits), beta carotene (carrots), and dietary fiber.
