Why is the GOP fronting a dark-skinned man? Same reason they

  It appears that the Republicans are trying to change their
  image as the party of the priviledged few.  Now, they're
  trying to present a more nclusive party image which happens
  to have a conservative agenda, mostly rooted in Jefferson's
  ideas.
 
  We should note that Jefferson was rumored to have had
  dalliances with his female slave, with whom he had several
  children. Lately, it appears that this rumor is now accepted
  as fact.

 Can we assume that you *don't* accept it as fact?

 DNA tests in 1996 proved that Sally Hemmings' kids
 were descendents of Jefferson.

 What do YOU believe as fact? Would you believe
 that Thomas Jefferson was not diddling his slaves
 if it said so in the Vedic literature?

The reason for the American War of Independance was that the Colonies
did not want to go down the read the British were going, where they were
having court cases in London to free slaves under 13th century British
constitutional law, and the Colonies did not want to give up their
slaves. That is the reason for the American War of Independance.

 Lyoto Machida: I Drink My Own Urine
 Date submitted: 24 March 2009
 Author: Mick Bower


 Lyoto Machida is famous for doing things his own way. The famously
elusive star has climbed the light heavyweight rankings with an
unconventional fighting style.

 Machida was schooled in Karate by his father from and early age. Now,
the unbeaten Brazilian has revealed that he also has a special natural
dietary supplement to enhance his performance.

 Machida told tatame.com:

 My training is with my family and it makes it more easy. If I go out
there, maybe I won't find what I have in Belém any place in the
world. I train with guys who live there. My father does that for a long
time and bring it to us. People think it's a joke (laughs). I never said
it in the United States because I don't know how the fans will react
(laughs). I drink my urine every morning like a natural medicine.

 If Machida continues his march to the UFC title, more fighters may
start to copy his unconventional breakfast.

I know that when I visited him in Fairfield a few years ago and went  
to see some Guru-passing-through type who was a healer of some  
kind, there was a huge group of TMers who were active in the domes,  
visiting the same guy, saying shhh don't say you saw me  
here.Many many many of them had cancer and other horrible  
diseases like debilitating arthritis. Most of them were between  
25-50 years old. The healer, who happened to be from India, said  
he had never seen so much disease in such a small, condensed  
population in his life.



It's nothing I haven't heard before. However I cannot vouch for how  
much of it is true or whether or not it is an exaggeration.

From what I've read, Barak Obama's church

shooter - so I guess in your society, Obama would 
be in the cell next to Jindal and Pastor Wright.

But, I wonder how many 'exorcisms' the 14th Dalai 
Lama performs? Jindal is only a state governor, 
in office for a few months, and the incident 
seems to have ocurred once, over ten years ago, 
but the Dalai Lama is the spiritual AND political 
leader of a whole country for what, seventy years,
and probably performed an exorcism just minutes 
ago. 

I guess in your world, the Dalai Lama and his 
cohorts would be in a Chinese jail in downtown 
Peking with a waterboard over their head, but 
Bobby Jindal is a nutcase?

[FairfieldLife] 'Gates Foundation to cut homelessness'

2009-03-26 Thread Robert

Gates Foundation joins others in goal to cut homelessness 
A partnership of governments, businesses and nonprofits is pledging today to 
redouble its efforts to help the growing number of homeless families in 
Washington state. The pledge includes up to $60 million over 10 years by the 
Bill  Melinda Gates Foundation.
A partnership of governments, businesses and nonprofits is pledging today to 
redouble its efforts to help the growing number of homeless families in 
Washington state. The pledge includes up to $60 million over 10 years by the 
Bill  Melinda Gates Foundation.

Partners in the Washington Families Fund vowed to reduce the number of homeless 
families by 50 percent over the next decade.
I feel this is an opportunity right now, as much as I'm a realist about the 
economy, said Alice Shobe, deputy director of Building Changes, which 
administers the fund. It is ambitious, but we have a vision about how to do 
it. We have the creativity and broad partnership to make it happen.
As the recession throws more people into poverty, we must do more to help 
families achieve and maintain stability, said Gov. Chris Gregoire, who signed 
an agreement with King, Snohomish and Pierce counties and the cities of 
Seattle, Everett and Tacoma to collaborate with the private partners.
Created by the state Legislature in 2004, the Washington Families Fund has 
received contributions of more than $20 million — $12 million from the state 
and $8.3 million from 18 other partners, including the Gates Foundation, 
Boeing, Microsoft, the Campion Foundation, the Greater Tacoma Community 
Foundation, the Ben B. Cheney Foundation and United Way. It has awarded $13 
million in grants so far.
The Washington Families Fund has not yet revealed any new financial commitments 
other than the Gates Foundation's pledge.
Governments and private groups together spend about $200 million a year to 
address the problem in Washington state, but as economic conditions worsen, the 
number of homeless families keeps going up. About half of the state's estimated 
22,000 homeless households are families with children.
Winter nights
The family of Jackilin Abiem, 25, was one of them. She arrived in 2001 as an 
orphan from Sudan after fleeing civil war and walking for three months across 
the country and eventually to a refugee camp. Once in Washington, she lived 
with two foster families, graduated from Garfield High School and landed her 
first job at McDonald's.
Abiem then worked for two years as a cook at a retirement home, but she never 
earned quite enough money to afford her own apartment. She became homeless 
after the youth housing where she was staying made her leave when she became 
pregnant.
She then bounced around, staying with four different friends and her foster mom 
through the birth of her son, Nassir. She remembers window shopping outside 
on winter nights as she waited for friends to get off work.
When I was pregnant, I didn't have a place to live, so I was just running 
around between friends, she said. It was hard for me to go house to house and 
to old friends. I keep them worried ... that I may give birth [at] their house.




 
Spending some nights with her foster mom in Mount Vernon and other nights with 
friends in South King County made it tough to be in West Seattle consistently 
for her job, and she lost that, too.
Abiem is now at Katharine's Place, in a transitional apartment for homeless 
families in Rainier Valley, but her two-year term ends in December. She is 
about to give birth to her second son. Katharine's Place had so many people on 
its two-year waiting list that it closed the list to new applicants in January.
Prevention
That reflects a rise in the number of homeless families in 2008 over 2007, 
especially in South King County.
The trend lines have gone in the wrong direction, period, said David Bley, 
director of the Pacific Northwest Initiative at the Gates Foundation. We need 
to go about tackling the problem differently than we have in the past.
For one thing, there's not enough emphasis on preventing homelessness by 
keeping people in affordable housing. Only 3 percent of the $200 million is 
used for prevention, he said.
It feels totally out of whack from what we know works — it's easier to keep 
people in a home than put them back once they've lost one, Bley said.
Bley said other needed changes include providing permanent housing as soon as 
possible, rather than transitional housing, and standardizing the fragmented 
systems used to determine what families need, so they get access to the same 
services no matter where they go for help.
Some people will need a lot of services and some people will need nothing more 
than a rent subsidy, he said.
The program also will focus on improving the economic prospects of people with 
low incomes or no income, connecting them with work-force development and job 
training. And more money will be invested in getting better data on homeless 
families to

Yes.  Transcending. Repenting, going beyond the mind, the means of

If you have Time Machine installed, use Time Machine to reinstall it

Sal, I told you Macs suck, but you didn't listen (I have been using a
Mac since 1989, and am forced to use one again in recent years because
of teaching graphic design, and the geeks in graphic design departments
at colleges require it for their students just because they are ignorant
of the real computer world outside of Macs.) Macs do that planet freeze
up thing for various reasons and not just with Safari. They freeze up
for several seconds or even completely. PC's do it as well (I use both
on a daily basis on a professional level), but good PC's (Toshiba -- not
Dell or Gateway shit) do not do it nearly as often, or for as long, as
Macs do.

I told you not to get a Mac Sal. Macs suck. Dell gets the most NUMBER of
complaints of any company in consumer complaints, but Macs are in second
place as having the most number of complaints, and Macs sell about a
hundredth of the number of computers as Dell does.

You cannot get around the globe thing, it is part of living with a Mac.

Don't listen to what Vaj says, he does not use them at a professional
level. He is just a Mac fanatic geek with no significant real-world
experience. He waits arounf for a total of about 15 minutes or more a
day for his Mac to do things that he doesn't even realize do not happen
with Toshibas. He even waits for several minutes for Safari to load,
just to clear out data every time, just to be able to function at a
mediocre layman's level.

But you could try clearing out your browsing data regularly, also,
unplug completely your modem if you have one, and all its cables at all
points for a few minutes, and do a restart once a week at least.

[FairfieldLife] Amazing Shipping Container Houses

2009-03-26 Thread Arhata Osho












 
Invented more than five decades ago, the modern shipping container is the 
linchpin in our global distribution network of products. In the containers go 
toys from China, textiles from India, grain from America, and cars from 
Germany. In go electronics, chocolate, and cheese.
While a number of resourceful people have converted shipping containers into 
make-shift shelters at the margin of society for years, architects and green 
designers are also increasingly turning to the strong, cheap boxes as source 
building blocks. 
Shipping containers can be readily modified with a range of creature comforts 
and can be connected and stacked to create modular, efficient spaces for a 
fraction of the cost, labor, and resources of more conventional materials.
Discover some of the exciting possibilities of shipping container architecture, 
from disaster relief shelters to luxury condos, vacation homes, and 
off-the-grid adventurers. See what makes them green as well as cutting edge.

De Maria Design Redondo Beach House 
With its modern lines and appealing spaces, the award-winning Redondo Beach 
House by De Maria Design turns heads. The luxury beach-side showpiece was built 
from eight prefabricated, recycled steel shipping containers, along with some 
traditional building materials. According to the architects, the modified 
containers are nearly indestructible,  as well as resistant to mold, fire, 
and termites. Seventy percent of the building was efficiently assembled in a 
shop, saving time, money, and resources.
One of the containers can even sport a pool! The lessons learned from Redondo 
Beach House are being incorporated into a line of more affordable, accessible 
designs, soon available as Logical Homes.

Conceived by Urban Space Management, London's Container City first sprang up in 
the heart of the Docklands in 2001. It took just five months to complete the 
original 12 work studios, at a height of three stories. Shortly after that a 
fourth floor of studios and living apartments was added.
Container City was designed to be low cost, as well as environmentally 
friendly. Recycled materials made up 80% of building supplies. Architect 
Nicholas Lacey and partners and engineer Buro Happold used component pieces to 
build up adaptable living and work spaces.

Set on 50 acres of gorgeous Scottish countryside, Cove Park is an artist's 
retreat designed to stimulate and reinvigorate. Urban Space Management first

so popular that more units have been added.

 All Terrain Cabin
Canada's Bark Design Collective built the All Terrain Cabin (ATC) as a showcase 
for sustainable (and Canadian!) ingenuity. The small home is based on a 
standard shipping container, and is said to be suitable for a family of four, 
plus a pet, to live off the grid in comfort and style.
The cabin folds up to look like any old shipping container, and can be sent via 
rail, truck, ship, airplane, or even helicopter. When you're ready to rest your 
bones, the cabin quickly unfolds to 480 square feet of living space, with a 
range of creature comforts.

from a shipping container, an electric winch is used to raise and lower the

recycled car tires, and the walls have birch paneling (over closed-cell soya

An old friend of mine (an ex-TM teacher) lives in Fairfield and does not
attend the TM functions (at their request, because he openly hosted, Oh No!,
other gurus at his home when they passed through Fairfield. He enjoys the
drama when they go through town. He still thinks TM is good, however. He
recently told me that among those living there, many of the old-time TM
teachers have turned to drugs and alcohol. He said that many are addicted to
pain killers or are drunkards. He told me this very matter of factly, like
it was normal in any community in the US to have a large number of strung
out people, but I found it very strange, given MMY's teachings. 

I know that when I visited him in Fairfield a few years ago and went to see
some Guru-passing-through type who was a healer of some kind, there was a
huge group of TMers who were active in the domes, visiting the same guy,
saying shhh don't say you saw me here. Many many many of them had
cancer and other horrible diseases like debilitating arthritis. Most of them
were between 25-50 years old. The healer, who happened to be from India,
said he had never seen so much disease in such a small, condensed population
in his life. 

I live here, as you know, and it sounds like an exaggeration to me. I'm sure
there are instances of all this stuff, but I doubt they're outside the norm
for a community of this size and age range. But I don't mingle too much,
don't hang out in the coffee houses, etc., so I'm sure there's a lot going
on that I'm unaware of.

You keep posting this definition, so the question arises ... WTF?

Metanoia did not originally signify any religious or theological ideas.
As a descriptive designation the word developed out of the juridical
function of kingship. That means that ordinary people, upon occasion,
were brought to the court of a sovereign ruler, who then pronounced
sentence upon their situation. This situation might be an accuasation
that they commited a crime. It might also be that they performed some
civic or virtuous activity that warranted special recognition and
reward. In either case, the person singled out fell to the floor or
ground (if the King's court was held outside) and in the direct presence
of the awesome king and courtiers, lost control of their limbs out of
either awe or fear. (To this day, we call the civic arena of juridical
debate and decision a court held at a court house.)

This awe/aweful response latter became formalized into bowing to the
king/queen as a demonstrated act of submission or contrition.
As an act of contrition, it was labled meta-noia, literally a change
in the nous (intellectus) of the contrite. Since the seat of
intellection (non-discursive knowing) was considered to be the heart,
the biblical injuctive command - metanoete! - change your heart - was
the meaning inherent in the Hellenic biblical command. This change of
heart was the condition required for real penitance or genuine regret
for one's misdeeds in the presence of a king/queen and was the only
foundation for any hope for mercy rather than retribution.

Metanoia, as an idea, gradually developed an expanded conotation
focused around the core idea of centering attention in one's own heart
(as in a change of heart) where a person's nous (intelligence) natually
resided.

This view became the basis of Egyptian desert monasticism in the 3-6th
C.E. and eventually led to the Eastern Orthodox monastic practice of 
settling the mind into the heart through the practice of the prayer of
the heart.

We might consider this transcending the mind but within the historical
context noted above. All the rest of these claims are nice thoughts but
in the end are unconfirmed speculations that flitter around an idea and
an actual practice that has been long developed.

However, no offence meant ... as Three-City Kirk would say.

 Yes.  Transcending. Repenting, going beyond the mind, the means of
enlightenment seems are everywhere in the enlightened world.  In the
modern world, it's on Oprah.  It's on PBS Bill Moyers.  It's in the
outreach of transcendental centering prayers taught in method through so
many places of human nature worship otherwise.  Eckhardt Tolle books and
audio.  Is instructed through churches, in synagogues, at temples of all
kinds, even in some mosques.In Buddhist  Zen centers everywhere. 
Yoga centers on every corner.  Also the transcendental relaxation
response in doctors offices.  Meditation seminars everywhere.  
Instructed generally as Quiet time meditation in some schools and in
colleges  universities public and private.   Quiet time now is coming
for everyone.  The hour is at hand where we shall see who shall repent
their non-meditation.  Transcendentalism is on the move.
