[FairfieldLife] Fairfield Craiglist

2008-09-24 Thread Christine
I received the following email from a friend:


Hello and Happy Wednesday!!!

I'm sure some of you are familiar with Craigslist.  It is a free 
website that people in a community use to advertise and find jobs, 
yard sales, free stuff, apartments, events, classes, etc, etc.  For 
example, here is the one for Iowa City.  
http://iowacity.craigslist.org

There is currently not a Craigslist page for Fairfield, and I think 
this community could really benefit from having one.  So, I wrote an 
email to them, and I encourage you to do the same.  They add new 
towns based on the number of requests they receive.  So, if they hear 
from enough of us, they will add Fairfield!  Even though Fairfield is 
small, it is such a unique community and I know that people here 
would really love to use Craigslist.

If you feel compelled to write to them, click here 
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/cgi-bin/emailForm.cgi

And if you need ideas about what to say, here is what I wrote:


Hi!

I have just moved to Fairfield, Iowa, which is about an hour south of 
Iowa City, and have found that what is most notably lacking here is a 
Craigslist site!  

This community is so amazing and unique.  There are thousands of 
people practicing Transcendental Meditation twice daily here, and so 
even though it is small, the demographic is such that a Craigslist 
site would be well utilized.

Please consider this suggestion.  It would improve the quality of 
life here so much to have access to the amazing Craigslist!

Thanks!






[FairfieldLife] New Fall Hatha Yoga Class Schedule with Christine Pappas

Starting next week, the week of September 10th, I will have a new

Recreation Center (The cost is less than $4 per class drop-in. Please 
check with the Recreation Center for monthly rates; their phone # is: 
472-6159.)
 
Wednesdays - 10:30 a.m. - a one hour class at the Roosevelt Community 
Recreation Center
 
Fridays - 10:30 a.m. - a one hour class at Morning Star Studio (cost

All three classes are a Basic Hatha Yoga class appropriate for 
beginning and experienced students. The class introduces the 
fundamentals of yoga -- the basics for developing core strength, 
increasing flexibility, and connecting movement and breath. Students 
receive individual attention and can work at their own level.

[FairfieldLife] Small Dog Free to Good Home

2007-07-28 Thread Christine
Dear Friends,

We found a stray dog in our neighborhood on Thursday night and she's
in need of a good home. Unfortunately, she was intentionally
abandoned, and we saw the owners speeding away! We cannot keep her as
we already have a dog and a 2 year old child!

She is a small dog, 13 lbs., approximately 1 year old, very well
behaved and fully potty-trained (to go outside; not on the potty, of
course). She is a mix of dogs and has a little terrier or something
in her. She's black with brown legs; some gray and brown around her
face. She's cute. We took her to the vet and she's perfectly healthy,
but not spayed. She is not pregnant. She has had a couple of baths,
so she's very clean.

She's behaves well with our dog and is also gentle with our 2 year
old daughter. She would be a good pet for a home with or without 
children.

Please feel free to call if you'd like to come visit her. Or let me
know if you'd like photos emailed.

Thanks,
Christine Pappas

Jon Estrin is the best chiropractor in or out of town... and he now 
takes insurance, so it's $15 per visit if you've got Blue Cross Blue

 All,
 I decided not to post until I actually arrived in Fairfield. After
 a long, long, journey I am finally living and working here. Problem is
 that I hardly know anyone... or maybe I do, it's just that I have lost
 touch over the years.  Any info on getting connected, or anyone out
 there that remembers me from MIU TTC 1975, Orange County CA.(1970s),

[FairfieldLife] Re: Researcher say transcendental meditation lessens brain's pain response

2006-08-09 Thread Christine
How valuable is this?  Probably more valuable to a pregnant woman 
going into labor, than the idiot at home with his hand on a hot 
stove.

 So, how valuable is this? you are a long time TMer and you have 
your 
 hand on a hot stove and you don't respond until what, you smell 
your 
 flesh starting to bubble? There's a reason we feel pain and 
 diminishing that resonse is hardly something good. -- If your 
brain 
 is sluggish to a pain stimulous, this isn't a good thing. How nuts 
is 
 this, anyway? Next some lunatic is going to claim that TM enables 
you 
 to fly (without benefit of an airplane). Oh, wait, some lunatic 
has 
 already claimed that. 
 
 The real value of TM is being able to collect the money from all 
the 
 fools who get so deeply involved. That would be Mahesh. I can't 
see 
 anyone else benefitting.
  
  Transcendental meditation may reduce the brain's reaction to 
pain, 
  say researchers at the University of California, Irvine.
  
  They used neuroimaging to monitor the brains of 12 healthy 
people 
  who'd been practicing transcendental meditation for 30 years.
  
  These individuals had a 40% to 50% lower brain response to pain 
 than 
  12 people in a control group who did not practice transcendental 
  meditation.
  
  However, after the volunteers in the control group had learned 
and 
  practiced transcendental meditation for five months, their 
brains' 
  responses to pain also decreased by 40% to 50%, the study said.
  
  The findings were published in the current issue of the journal 
  NeuroReport.
  
  Transcendental meditation may produce a physiological state 
that's 
  capable of modifying various kinds of pain, the researchers 
  suggested.
  
  Prior research indicates that transcendental meditation creates 
a 
  more balanced outlook on life and greater equanimity in reacting 
to 
  stress. This study suggests that this is not just an attitudinal 
  change, but a fundamental change in how the brain functions, 
study 
  lead author David Orme-Johnson, a meditation researcher, said in 
a 
  prepared statement.
  
  The study was supported by a grant from the U.S. National 
 Institutes 
  of Health.

Medicine

[FairfieldLife] Driver Needed from Boston to Fairfield

2005-10-04 Thread Christine
Hi All,

I have a car (5-speed manual stick shift) in Boston which needs to be 
driven to Fairfield -- sometime between now and December.

Does anyone know of anyone in the Boston area (a student perhaps) who 
wants to go to Fairfield and can drive a stick shift?

I will pay for all gas  travel expenses (within reason) en route to 
Fairfield.

Just checking!

Thanks,
Christine
