[FairfieldLife] Life On Ice Cream Island

2013-09-05 Thread turquoiseb
As I've probably mentioned before, this month in Paris I'm staying on
Île Saint-Louis, which along with the Île de la Cité is one of
the two natural islands in the Seine. (There is a third, called Île
aux Cygnes, but it's artificial, and does little more than provide a
home for swans and the smaller prototype of the Statue Of Liberty.)
When I mention that I'm staying on Île Saint-Louis, Parisians look at
me the way Los Angelenos might if I'd told them I lived in Beverly
Hills. Their impressions of the place are that it's full of rich, snooty
people, the only ones who can afford the million-Euro apartments there.
Having been here for a week or so, I beg to differ. There may, in fact,
*be* a bunch of rich, snooty types living here, but I never see them on
the streets. Maybe they're like rich, snooty people in other cities, and
only appear on the streets long enough to be picked up by their limos
and whisked off somewhere else, but I actually see fewer of them here
than I might in areas of the VIth or VIIth arrondissements. The folks I
run into in cafés and restaurants (and, you will see if you keep
reading, ice cream joints) are pretty normal, everyday French people,
*not* ostentatiously rich, and remarkably fun to interact with.
The island itself is small, and looks kinda like this:

There are really only three streets, and little traffic. There are a few
art galleries and stores, two small markets, a number of bars and
restaurants. And unlike the rest Paris -- which seems to have a church
on every corner, as if the population could not endure being more than a
block away from one in case they suddenly develop the need to either
pray or donate money to God (whom we all know needs it so badly) --
there is only one large church, Saint-Louis-en-l'Île.
The island is named for Saint Louis, otherwise known as King Louis IX of
France. He's the only French king recognized by the Catholic Church as a
saint, and not being Catholic myself, I'm not sure what he did to
deserve this, but I suspect that he is the patron saint of ice cream.
Île Saint-Louis is home to Berthillon, which serves what is rightly
considered the Best Ice Cream In Paris.

It started as one small establishment, but now there are at least a
dozen other restaurants on the island that advertise its ice creams on
their signs and awnings. Naturally, market forces being what they are, a
number of wannabee competitors have appeared on the island as well,
selling *their* brands of ice cream, and trying to lure away some of the
people who come here daily for their ice cream fix. Ice cream is so much
a part of this island's culture that I hear they even use tiny
Berthillon cones in the Saint-Louis-en-l'Île Church instead of
communion wafers.
All of this makes me remember one of my favorite TM stories, which I
have related here before (and which actually happened to a former poster
here), but which I will shamelessly tell again, because I think it
captures so much about the TM mindset. This guy, a TM Governor of the
Age of Enlightenment whom we'll call Joe, was on an ATR course in
Europe, and found that he just couldn't stomach the hot milk with
cardamom he was expected to drink each night after the meeting to speed
him on his way to catching the Angel Train.
So he developed an alternative routine, walking out the door of his
hotel and into the café across the street, where he ordered an ice
cream cone. He then took it back to his room and ate it there.
At a certain point on this course, This Guy We're Calling Joe suddenly
received a summons to appear before the Inquisition. They didn't call it
that, of course, but when he walked into the room and saw the row of
course leaders wearing their cheap suits and their standard-issue German
scowls, he knew he was in Deep Shit.
They proceeded to lecture him about his Off The Program behavior, and
threatened to not only send him home from the course if he didn't cut it
out, but to put a black mark on his permanent record so that he'd
never be accepted to any course in the future. At first he was
concerned, as any red-blooded TM TB might be as such a terrible karmic
prospect, but then he had a kind of satori experience.
He suddenly realized that he was sitting in a room being grilled by a
bunch of Bliss Nazis and being threatened *for the Sin Of Eating Ice
Cream*. He started to laugh uncontrollably, and as I remember the story,
just got up and walked out of the room, leaving them to do whatever
their little black hearts told them to do. Which turned out to be a big,
fat Nothing. Even *they* must have been too embarrassed by their petty
tyrant behavior to make it more public.
Anyway, THAT was the moment in which Joe stepped away from the TM
movement, and began his exit from it. To him, there couldn't have
possibly been a clearer demonstration of what it had become, and where
it was going, and he wanted no part of either. The very org that had
promised the field of all possibilities had become so narrow-minded
and so

A camera is signified by the conjunction of Rahu, Saturn and the Moon.  In 
translation, it means a camera is a complicated device (Rahu) that is filled 
with darkness (Saturn) in order to capture light (the Moon) on film or pixels.  
This interpretation comes from the Bhrigu Nandi Nadi jyotish technique.

Thanks for the video clip.  I just listened to the whole performance by Krishna 
Das.  I hope it works.  I noticed he was wearing a red color shirt which 
relates to the graha, Mangal.  In the past, I've listened to some of his other 
video clips.  They do give you a blissful effect especially if you listen to 
them at night.

By the way, after riding my bike last Sunday, I went downtown for dinner.  At 
that time, my ankle wasn't bothering me then.  While I was walking to go to a 
restaurant, a cute blond woman-- wearing a red T-shirt with the words, 
Huntington Beach and white shorts--was aiming her camera at me.  I was 
surprised at first, but I assumed she was taking a photo of the building beside 
me.

Now, I'm thinking by hindsight that she was an omen of Mars (red shirt) 
transiting in the sign of Cancer (ruled by the Moon, a feminine planet).  And, 
that camera was actually aimed at me, signifying the planetary effect that 
would happen to me.

Later on that night, as I got home, I started  to feel some pain from  my right 
ankle.  It got worse on Tuesday. And, I'm still limping along today.  Were all 
of these a coincidence?

Everyone should be aware by now that Mars is transiting Cancer at this time. à
And, it is debilitated in that sign. àAs such, we are seeing the anger of 
Mars manifesting in world events, in particular the US involvement in the 
Syrian war. àObama did the rational alternative by involving Congress in 
making a decision whether to attack Assad's government or not.

If the debate for attacking continues in Congress for another month or so, 
this whole event may solve itself in the end. àWhen Mars transits out of 
Cancer, the drums for war may subside.

On a personal basis, Mars just gave me an ankle sprain when I was riding my

[FairfieldLife] Yagya Solution for Syria

2013-09-05 Thread Dick Mays

VIEW EMAIL WITH IMAGES

“So today is the day of clearing the passage, and the long journey from 
infinite diversity to absolute unity has been cut short.

By whom have the obstacles been eliminated? By Ganesh, the Devata of 
Purification.”

Maharishi, Ganesh Chathurthi 2007

Dear Governors, Sidhas and Meditators,

We trust that you received this important announcement from Raja John Hagelin. 
We also wanted you to know that our Maharishi Jyotish Council has expressed the 
critical need to create more coherence in the world, especially for this next 
month.

We hope you are able to participate in Maharishi National YagyaSM performances 
and, if possible, personal Yagyas for yourself.

Jai Guru Dev,
Charlie and Marguerite Heath, Preston and Leslie Frieder, Jennifer Blair

Dear Friends,

From time immemorial, great kings and leaders of India have gathered together 
large groups of Pandits for Vedic performances in order to avert or mitigate 
any threat to society—present or future.

Today, very negative planetary influences are feeding upheaval and conflict 
around the world. Syria, in particular, has become a dangerous flashpoint.

In the light of the seriousness of the situation, and its potential impact on 
Syria, the Unites States, and the entire world, the TM Movement’s Global 
Council has encouraged National Yagyas in every country to focus on a speedy, 
peaceful resolution to the war in Syria.

Fortunately, our next 11-day Maharishi National YagyaSM performance for the 
U.S. will begin soon, on September 12, during the 10-day celebration of Ganesh 
Chathurthi, the birth of Ganesh.

During this time, the aspect of Cosmic Creative Intelligence that removes 
obstacles and hindrances in all areas of life is maximally lively. By 
nourishing this specific Law of Nature through the performance of National 
Yagyas, we enliven our ability to overcome obstacles—including obstacles to 
peace—and to rapidly achieve all our goals.

The Sankalpa (intention) of the Yagya will now be:

A peaceful, non-violent resolution to the violence in Syria 
which is also supportive of the United States’ national interests.

The final day to sign up is Saturday, September 7.

Please click now to offer your support.

Better still . . . join our Monthly Giving Circle to bring continuous, ongoing 
support for the Maharishi Vedic Pandits and the National Yagya program.

When you contribute $1,250 or more to a National Yagya, you will be 
acknowledged by name on each day of the Vedic performance. Or you may designate 
your company, a group, or another person to be named.

My deepest, heartfelt thanks for the heroic support of our dear donors for the 
Maharishi Vedic Pandits and National Yagya program.

As I've probably mentioned before, this month in Paris I'm staying on Île 
Saint-Louis, which along with the Île de la Cité is one of the two natural 
islands in the Seine. (There is a third, called Île aux Cygnes, but it's 
artificial, and does little more than provide a home for swans and the smaller 
prototype of the Statue Of Liberty.) 

When I mention that I'm staying on Île Saint-Louis, Parisians look at me the 
way Los Angelenos might if I'd told them I lived in Beverly Hills. Their 
impressions of the place are that it's full of rich, snooty people, the only 
ones who can afford the million-Euro apartments there. Having been here for a 
week or so, I beg to differ. There may, in fact, *be* a bunch of rich, snooty 
types living here, but I never see them on the streets. Maybe they're like 
rich, snooty people in other cities, and only appear on the streets long enough 
to be picked up by their limos and whisked off somewhere else, but I actually 
see fewer of them here than I might in areas of the VIth or VIIth

The island itself is small, and looks kinda like this:


There are really only three streets, and little traffic. There are a few art

unlike the rest Paris -- which seems to have a church on every corner, as if

they suddenly develop the need to either pray or donate money to God (whom we 
all know needs it so badly) -- there is only one large church, 
Saint-Louis-en-l'Île. 

The island is named for Saint Louis, otherwise known as King Louis IX of 
France. He's the only French king recognized by the Catholic Church as a saint, 
and not being Catholic myself, I'm not sure what he did to deserve this, but I 
suspect that he is the patron saint of ice cream. 

Île Saint-Louis is home to Berthillon, which serves what is rightly considered 
the Best Ice Cream In Paris. 


It started as one small establishment, but now there are at least a dozen other 
restaurants on the island that advertise its ice creams on their signs and 
awnings. Naturally, market forces being what they are, a number of wannabee 
competitors have appeared on the island as well, selling *their* brands of ice 
cream, and trying to lure away some of the people who come here daily for their 
ice cream fix. Ice cream is so much a part of this island's culture that I hear 
they even use tiny Berthillon cones in the Saint-Louis-en-l'Île Church instead 
of communion wafers. 

All of this makes me remember one of my favorite TM stories, which I have 
related here before (and which actually happened to a former poster here), but 
which I will shamelessly tell again, because I think it captures so much about 
the TM mindset. This guy, a TM Governor of the Age of Enlightenment whom we'll 
call Joe, was on an ATR course in Europe, and found that he just couldn't 
stomach the hot milk with cardamom he was expected to drink each night after 
the meeting to speed him on his way to catching the Angel Train. 

So he developed an alternative routine, walking out the door of his hotel and 
into the café across the street, where he ordered an ice cream cone. He then 
took it back to his room and ate it there. 

At a certain point on this course, This Guy We're Calling Joe suddenly received 
a summons to appear before the Inquisition. They didn't call it that, of 
course, but when he walked into the room and saw the row of course leaders 
wearing their cheap suits and their standard-issue German scowls, he knew he 
was in Deep Shit.

They proceeded to lecture him about his Off The Program behavior, and 
threatened to not only send him home from the course if he didn't cut it out, 
but to put a black mark on his permanent record so that he'd never be 
accepted to any course in the future. At first he was concerned, as any 
red-blooded TM TB might be as such a terrible karmic prospect, but then he had 
a kind of satori experience. 

He suddenly realized that he was sitting in a room being grilled by

By whom have the obstacles been eliminated? By Ganesh, the Devata of

Maharishi, Ganesh Chathurthi 2007
Dear Governors, Sidhas and Meditators,
We trust that you received this important announcement from Raja John Hagelin. 
We also wanted you to know that our Maharishi Jyotish Council has expressed the 
critical need to create more coherence in the world, especially for this next 
month.
We hope you are able to participate in Maharishi National YagyaSM performances 
and, if possible, personal Yagyas for yourself.

Dear Friends,
From time immemorial, great kings and leaders of India have gathered together 
large groups of Pandits for Vedic performances in order to avert or mitigate 
any threat to society—present or future.
Today, very negative planetary influences are feeding upheaval and conflict 
around the world. Syria, in particular, has become a dangerous flashpoint.
In the light of the seriousness of the situation, and its potential impact on 
Syria, the Unites States, and the entire world, the TM Movement’s Global 
Council has encouraged National Yagyas in every country to focus on a speedy, 
peaceful resolution to the war in Syria.
Fortunately, our next 11-day Maharishi National YagyaSM performance for the 
U.S. will begin soon, on September 12, during the 10-day celebration of Ganesh 
Chathurthi, the birth of Ganesh.
During this time, the aspect of Cosmic Creative Intelligence that removes 
obstacles and hindrances in all areas of life is maximally lively. By 
nourishing this specific Law of Nature through the performance of National 
Yagyas, we enliven our ability to overcome obstacles—including obstacles to 
peace—and to rapidly achieve all our goals.
The Sankalpa (intention) of the Yagya will now be:
A peaceful, non-violent resolution to the violence in Syria 
which is also supportive of the United States’ national interests.
The final day to sign up is Saturday, September 7.
Please click now to offer your support.
Better still . . . join our Monthly Giving Circle to bring continuous, ongoing 
support for the Maharishi Vedic Pandits and the National Yagya program.
When you contribute $1,250 or more to a National Yagya, you will be 
acknowledged by name on each day of the Vedic performance. Or you may designate 
your company, a group, or another person to be named.
My deepest, heartfelt thanks for the heroic support of our dear donors for the 
Maharishi Vedic Pandits and National Yagya program.

Not to mention how you're going to select which flavor
of ice cream you want at Berthillon. The list contains

vanilla and chocolate, but also including more rare 
concoctions like ice creams made from flowers -- violet,

Yeah, I've read this story at least six times on Usenet.

You really do like ice cream, Turq! 

But, what is really funny is  - what it's like to be on

you learned yoga in downtown L.A. and on a beach hotel

You and the guy in the story would probably last about

You need to face the facts, Turq - a TMO ATR is just
about as intensive as a day at a Butlin's Holiday 
Camp with hot milk served in the evening. LoL!

turquoiseb:
 As I've probably mentioned before, this month in Paris I'm staying on
 Île Saint-Louis, which along with the Île de la Cité is one of
 the two natural islands in the Seine. (There is a third, called Île
 aux Cygnes, but it's artificial, and does little more than provide a
 home for swans and the smaller prototype of the Statue Of Liberty.)
 When I mention that I'm staying on Île Saint-Louis, Parisians look at
 me the way Los Angelenos might if I'd told them I lived in Beverly
 Hills. Their impressions of the place are that it's full of rich, snooty
 people, the only ones who can afford the million-Euro apartments there.
 Having been here for a week or so, I beg to differ. There may, in fact,
 *be* a bunch of rich, snooty types living here, but I never see them on
 the streets. Maybe they're like rich, snooty people in other cities, and
 only appear on the streets long enough to be picked up by their limos
 and whisked off somewhere else, but I actually see fewer of them here
 than I might in areas of the VIth or VIIth arrondissements. The folks I
 run into in cafés and restaurants (and, you will see if you keep
 reading, ice cream joints) are pretty normal, everyday French people,
 *not* ostentatiously rich, and remarkably fun to interact with.
 The island itself is small, and looks kinda like this:
 
 There are really only three streets, and little traffic. There are a few
 art galleries and stores, two small markets, a number of bars and
 restaurants. And unlike the rest Paris -- which seems to have a church
 on every corner, as if the population could not endure being more than a
 block away from one in case they suddenly develop the need to either
 pray or donate money to God (whom we all know needs it so badly) --
 there is only one large church, Saint-Louis-en-l'Île.
 The island is named for Saint Louis, otherwise known as King Louis IX of
 France. He's the only French king recognized by the Catholic Church as a
 saint, and not being Catholic myself, I'm not sure what he did to
 deserve this, but I suspect that he is the patron saint of ice cream.
 Île Saint-Louis is home to Berthillon, which serves what is rightly
 considered the Best Ice Cream In Paris.
 
 It started as one small establishment, but now there are at least a
 dozen other restaurants on the island that advertise its ice creams on
 their signs and awnings. Naturally, market forces being what they are, a
 number of wannabee competitors have appeared on the island as well,
 selling *their* brands of ice cream, and trying to lure away some of the
 people who come here daily for their ice cream fix. Ice cream is so much
 a part of this island's culture that I hear they even use tiny
 Berthillon cones in the Saint-Louis-en-l'Île Church instead of
 communion wafers.
 All of this makes me remember one of my favorite TM stories, which I
 have related here before (and which actually happened to a former poster
 here), but which I will shamelessly tell again, because I think it
 captures so much about the TM mindset. This guy, a TM Governor of the
 Age of Enlightenment whom we'll call Joe, was on an ATR course in
 Europe, and found that he just couldn't stomach the hot milk with
 cardamom he was expected to drink each night after the meeting to speed
 him on his way to catching the Angel Train.
 So he developed an alternative routine, walking out the door of his
 hotel and into the café across the street, where he ordered an ice
 cream cone. He then took it back to his room and ate it there.
 At a certain point on this course, This Guy We're Calling Joe suddenly
 received a summons to appear before the Inquisition. They didn't call it
 that, of course, but when he walked into the room and saw the row of
 course leaders wearing their cheap suits and their standard-issue German
 scowls, he knew he was in Deep Shit.
 They proceeded to lecture him about his Off The Program behavior, and
 threatened to not only send him home from the course if he didn't cut it
 out, but to put a black mark on his permanent record so that he'd
 never be accepted to any course in the future. At first he was
 concerned, as any red-blooded TM TB might be as such a terrible karmic
 prospect, but then he had a kind of satori experience.
 He suddenly realized that he was sitting in a room being grilled by a
 bunch of Bliss Nazis and being threatened *for the Sin Of Eating Ice
 Cream*. He started to laugh

 La la la.Share, it is amazing the volume of posts that you send that say 
 absolutely nothing.  Look for your heart, Share, and connect it with your 
 mind.  Your brain is wired poorly (so is mine, so don't feel badly) and your 
 mind is operating with a certain level of insanity that you don't seem to 
 see.  You need to stop thinking and start feeling - internally, not 
 externally.

Emily, a compatibility reading is a standard jyotish reading in which the 
charts of two people are analyzed for compatibility. From my experience it's 
very accurate. Usually it's done when 2 people want to get married but it can 
also be done for business partnerships.

 He's asking everyone to join him in a day of prayer this 
 Saturday for a peaceful solution to the conflict. It's a 
 form of yagya at no additional costs to anyone. 

It's like a long standing disease that's infected the 
Middle East. 

Now the religious radicals have hijacked the Arab Spring 
and there's a proxy war going on in Syria by Iran. It's a 
civil war - a clash between Arabs and Islamic sectarians. 

It's probably the beginning of the end for countries like 
Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. It will be
just like the Iraq-Iran war only much bigger.

If it's just a regional war there will probably be no 
winners. When it's over in ten years or so, all the lines 
that were drawn in the sand after WW I will have been 
redrawn. 

According to David Brooks, the U.S. has three options:

1. Containment - Trying to keep each nation's civil 
strife within it's own borders...

2. Reconciliation - diplomatic peace between Iran and 
Saudi Arabia - between Shiites and Sunnis

3. Neutrality - taking sides is not an effective long 
term option

Just so y'all know it's not just you Chosen Few who have been selected
to be the early-adopter beta testers for Neo who are suffering, the old
interface has gone bonkers, too. For some reason (probably the fact that
the French very vocally resist being used as guinea pigs for untested
software), I'm still on the old interface. It switches over
periodically, but then the minute I log in, it switches me back to the
Old Favorite.

But it's not. *It* keeps changing and freaking out, too. Whatever the
Yahoo! pseudo-developers are doing to Neo, it's affecting the old
interface, too. The quoting of text only works about half the time. And
today at least three posts I've made have disappeared into the Black

Those who don't like my posts may interpret this more as the functioning

entitled 'Creating Wealth'. This is for the whole community and may be of 
particular interest to many DG members. 

Several of you attended the one I set up for him at end of July on 
medicaid/medicare and retirement planning. This talk will be given again on 
Sept 30th for those who missed it.  

The first presentation will be 'Becoming You Own Banker: how to save a fortune 
on major expenses will be given this coming Monday Sept 9th at 8 pm in the 
Tetra I building across from Everybodys. 

The following two lectures on Mortgage mastering: least expensive way to own 
your home (Sept 16th) may be of interest to those who in real estate or who are 
thinking of buying a house. The lecture on Sept 23rd is on College Planning: 
how to minimize cost of attendance and may only be important to those who are 
still putting their children thru college

[FairfieldLife] Memo to self

2013-09-05 Thread turquoiseb
Don't fall into the Seine on the way home. Just sayin'...  :-)

Testicle-biting fish found in Paris could be on way to UK
  [Grin a bear it ... the nasty end of a pacu]

THE Pacu, a fish dubbed the 'ball-cutter' because it has reportedly 
bitten off men's testicles, has been found in Paris and there are fears 
it could be making its way to the UK.

The small piranha-like fish was found in European waters for the first 
time in August with experts warning men to keep their trunks on if 
swimming in the Øresund channel between Denmark and Sweden.

Now the pacu has been found in the River Seine, The Paris Prefecture of 
Police newsletter revealed on Tuesday. Although officers were skeptical 
of the tropical catch, its human-like teeth marked the species as the 
feared 'testicle eating' pacu.

Fish expert Henrik Carl told the Local earlier in August: The pacu is 
not normally dangerous to people but it has quite a serious bite. There 
have been incidents in other countries, such as Papua New Guinea where 
some men have had their testicles bitten off.

They bite because they're hungry, and testicles sit nicely in their
mouth.

The pacu, a relative of the piranha that is commonly found around the 
Amazon, can grow to up to 90cm and weigh in at a staggering 25kg. 
Fishermen in South America attacked by the pacu have reportedly bled to 
death after losing their testicles in the fish's vicious teeth.

The fish are found in most rivers in the Amazon and Orinoco basins in 
South America and have also been spotted in Papua New Guinea, where they
are believed to have been introduced in order to boost fish stocks.

[FairfieldLife] Fall

2013-09-05 Thread turquoiseb
As much as the lecher in me has appreciated the summer (French women in
summer dresses are just the BEST), the artist in me is already looking
forward to Fall.

It's my favorite season, the one in which the world's cycles seem most
in evidence. Plants fade and fall in on themselves to sleep for a while,
before awakening as seeds. Squirrels start to store food and bears start
looking for a cool cave to hibernate in. Americans swap their baseball
hats for football hats.

Me, I just look forward to being able to walk through forests that are
doing their color-dance thang. Vincent Van Gogh painted down in Arles,
where there really isn't much of a Fall, and he got off on the
color-dance anyway. Can you imagine what he might have painted if his
brother hadn't been such a cheapskate and had sprung for a Fall vacation
for him in Vermont? The mind boggles.

As much as it may mean that the women will be wearing more clothing (a
negative), I look forward to seeing and appreciating their selection of
Fall colors (a positive). They're usually more subtle, more refined and
'earthy' than the fashion colors of Spring and Summer.

Anyway, I'm just sitting here in one of my old cafe haunts in Saint
Michel, before walking back to Ile Saint-Louis, and noticing that the
trees across the street at the Cluny museum are already beginning to
turn. And it's not even technically Fall yet. Maybe they know something
we don't about the coming Winter.

Whatever. For those of you who also love Fall, here's Bruce Cockburn's
song of the season. It was originally written immediately after reading
a book of Robert Graves' poetry, and reflects some of that poet's
sensibilities. But it still 'captures' Fall for me. I first heard this
song live, before Bruce had even released his first album, in Toronto,
and during the Fall. It's been my 'soundtrack' for the season ever
since.

It's probably the beginning of the end for countries like
Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. It will be
just like the Iraq-Iran war only much bigger.

If it's just a regional war there will probably be no

As I've probably mentioned before, this month in Paris I'm staying on Ãle 
Saint-Louis, which along with the Ãle de la Cité is one of the two natural 
islands in the Seine. (There is a third, called Ãle aux Cygnes, but it's 
artificial, and does little more than provide a home for swans and the smaller 
prototype of the Statue Of Liberty.) 

When I mention that I'm staying on Ãle Saint-Louis, Parisians look at me the 
way Los Angelenos might if I'd told them I lived in Beverly Hills. Their 
impressions of the place are that it's full of rich, snooty people, the only 
ones who can afford the million-Euro apartments there. Having been here for a 
week or so, I beg to differ. There may, in fact, *be* a bunch of rich, snooty 
types living here, but I never see them on the streets. Maybe they're like 
rich, snooty people in other cities, and only appear on the streets long enough 
to be picked up by their limos and whisked off somewhere else, but I actually 
see fewer of them here than I might in areas of the VIth or VIIth 
arrondissements. The folks I run into in cafés and restaurants (and, you will 
see if you keep reading, ice cream joints) are pretty normal, everyday French 
people, *not* ostentatiously rich, and remarkably fun to interact with. 

The island itself is small, and looks kinda like this:


There are really only three streets, and little traffic. There are a few art 
galleries and stores, two small markets, a number of bars and restaurants. And 
unlike the rest Paris -- which seems to have a church on every corner, as if 
the population could not endure being more than a block away from one in case 
they suddenly develop the need to either pray or donate money to God (whom we 
all know needs it so badly) -- there is only one large church, 
Saint-Louis-en-l'Ãle. 

The island is named for Saint Louis, otherwise known as King Louis IX of 
France. He's the only French king recognized by the Catholic Church as a saint, 
and not being Catholic myself, I'm not sure what he did to deserve this, but I 
suspect that he is the patron saint of ice cream. 

Ãle Saint-Louis is home to Berthillon, which serves what is rightly considered 
the Best Ice Cream In Paris. 


It started as one small establishment, but now there are at least a dozen other 
restaurants on the island that advertise its ice creams on their signs and 
awnings. Naturally, market forces being what they are, a number of wannabee 
competitors have appeared on the island as well, selling *their* brands of ice 
cream, and trying to lure away some of the people who come here daily for their 
ice cream fix. Ice cream is so much a part of this island's culture that I hear 
they even use tiny Berthillon cones in the Saint-Louis-en-l'Ãle Church instead 
of communion wafers. 

All of this makes me remember one of my favorite TM stories, which I have 
related here before (and which actually happened to a former poster here), but 
which I will shamelessly tell again, because I think it captures so much about 
the TM mindset. This guy, a TM Governor of the Age of Enlightenment whom we'll 
call Joe, was on an ATR course in Europe, and found that he just couldn't 
stomach the hot milk with cardamom he was expected to drink each night after 
the meeting to speed him on his way to catching the Angel Train. 

So he developed an alternative routine, walking out the door of his hotel and 
into the café across the street, where he ordered an ice cream cone. He then 
took it back to his room and ate it there. 

At a certain point on this course, This Guy We're Calling Joe suddenly received 
a summons to appear before the Inquisition. They didn't call it that, of 
course, but when he walked into the room and saw the row of course leaders 
wearing their cheap suits and their standard-issue German scowls, he knew he 
was in Deep Shit.

They proceeded to lecture him about his Off The Program behavior, and 
threatened to not only send him home from the course if he didn't cut it out, 
but to put a black mark on his permanent record so that he'd never be 
accepted to any course in the future. At first he was concerned, as any 
red-blooded TM TB might be as such a terrible karmic prospect, but then he had 
a kind of satori experience. 

He suddenly realized that he was sitting in a room being grilled by a bunch of 
Bliss Nazis and being

Wait just one minute - if all the others are the 'sheeple',
then you must be one of the 'elites'. If so, maybe you've
got a good idea. That's funny!



Sheeple refers to people who aren't paying attention and just doing as 
they are told.  That doesn't mean those who are paying attention and 
questioning authority are elites.




 Folks on InfoWars loved the idea.

You mean the Libertarians on InfoWars?



InfoWars has Libertarians, Liberals, Progressives and Conservatives, 
Socialists  etc.   Bet you've never even looked at the PrisonPlanet

 I've got a better idea, send one well aimed nuke at
 Saudi Arabia and everyone will be happy.

You're not even making any sense. If you sent a nuke to
Saudi Arabia, you guys out there in CA wouldn't have any
fuel. Your whole state would become one big parking lot.
   
And that wouldn't stop the killing in Syria.
   
There's only one way to stop the killing in Syria - boots
on the ground. The United Nations should send in troops
TODAY in order to prevent the WMD from falling into the
wrong hands.
   
If some of the WMD gets lost and finds it's way to New
York City, the 9-11 attacks will seem like an ant hill

John, I'm with Judy on this one. If your symptom continues, you definitely 
should go to an ER and get it checked out. Safety first and all that. You're 
not committing to any treatment simply by having it checked out.

Judy,

Thanks for your concern.  I was thinking of doing that last night.  Now, I'm 
trying to see the connection between my ankle sprain and the heartburn.  And, I 
can see the pattern revealed by jyotish as I explained to Bhairitu.  I'm pretty 
much under control right now.  I'll just have watch what I'm eating.  I'll keep 
you guys posted with my progress.

By the way, my ankle sprain is getting better.  I used an ice pack to cure it.  
So, thanks to Dr.D, Share, and Ann for their help on that regard. I'm walking 
fairly normal now, although a bit gingerly.

Bhairitu,

It was rather cold over here.  It was most definitely a pitta symptom since I 
had this heavy burning sensation in the chest.  I was thinking of checking 
myself into a hospital.  But I was determined to find out what's going on.

I did some yoga asanas a few minutes ago to see what would happen.  I feel a 
little relieved but the stress is still there in the chest.  I'm a bit 
apprehensive of checking myself into Kaiser Permanente Hospital and subject 
myself to their misdiagnoses, which I vividly remember when my parents were 
having health problems many years ago.

The allopathic doctors will not understand it.  But I feel certain that it's 
due to the Mars transit in Cancer which has the Sun and Mercury in my natal 
chart.  Yes, you nailed it on the head.  Mars and the Sun in conjunction is 
called Ugra Yoga or Fire Yoga.  Hence, I'm feeling a heartburn in my chest.

I'm now wearing my red coral ring to see if that would relieve the problem.  
I'll let you know the outcome.

But relating to the US national chart, Cancer is the 8th house and has Rahu and 
Mercury placed in it.  Since Mars is now transiting Cancer, the US is finding 
itself in the verge of war.  I'm afraid that if our Congressmen fail to see the 
futility of the situation, the US may be involved in World War III.

IMO, Pope Francis' solution appears to be the quickest and cheapest way to 
solve the problem.  If he can pull it off, he would be considered heaven sent.

If it's just a regional war there will probably be no

Here's what I've found  so far.  On my Windows 7 machine with Firefox it 
was showing Neo.  Then I logged in and it went back to the old site 
design.  I logged out and it still showed the old site.  Yahoo is afraid 
of me. :-D

 Lynx probably doesn't know about CSS which came along later.  
That's the kind of display you'll get without CSS.  It's generally 
good to avoid JavaScript unless entirely necessary. I've built web 
sites with drop down menus using CSS instead of JavaScript.  The 
browser on my Nexus originally showed the Topics, Messages and 
Trending.  It doesn't now and if I click on a post it pops up an 
login.  When canceled the posts will appear.  I'm not logged in on 
Chrome on Ubuntu but it shows the Topics, Messages and Trending 
options.Â


Lynx is absolutely text only, so CSS would have nothing to work on as 
there are zero graphics, zero pictures, and zero video. This browser 
is a great way to see just how much information on a web site is 
really visible to a search engine, though Google, Yahoo, etc., are 
trying to find ways to read content created by scripts or put in 
images and in video.


Did you take a look at the source on the Neo pages?  There's some 
embedded CSS and even some embedded JavaScript.  Very definitely a 
work in progress.


I ran the Ubuntu Studio 12.04 Live DVD on my Windows 7 machine and 
Firefox there brought up the Neo version.  So I logged out of FFL on 
Firefox here where Ubuntu Studio 12.04 is installed and Neo came up 
for groups.  Logged back in and the old site design came up.  Hilarious.
