[FairfieldLife] Callas's vocal decline!

2013-08-22 Thread card

Wikifoodia:

 She turned herself from a heavy woman into a svelte and glamorous one after a 
mid-career weight loss, which might have contributed to her vocal decline and 
the premature end of her career. The press exulted in publicizing Callas's 
allegedly temperamental behaviour, her supposed rivalry with Renata Tebaldi and 
her love affair with Aristotle Onassis. Her dramatic life and personal tragedy 
have often overshadowed Callas the artist in the popular press. However, her 
artistic achievements were such that Leonard Bernstein called her the Bible of 
opera;[2] and her influence was so enduring that, in 2006, Opera News wrote of 
her: Nearly thirty years after her death, she's still the definition of the 
diva as artist—and still one of classical music's best-selling vocalists.[3]

  Absolutely not. That you would even think of such a thing in passing

 our own time. I can't judge anyone else. What other people do is not
 really my affair unless they approach me with it. Prison's in your mind.
 Can't you see I'm free?'
 
  'Will of God.. whatever you wanna call it.. you call it Jesus, call it
 Mohammed, call it goobybob, call it nuclear mind, call it blow the world
 up, call it your heart. Whatever you wanna call it, it's still music to
 me. It's there. It's the will of life.'
 
  'As long as there's hate in your heart, there'll be hate in the world.
 You can't fight for peace and you cannot capture freedom.'
 
  'Have you ever seen the coyote in the desert? Watching, tuned in,
 completely aware. Christ on the cross, the coyote in the desert â€
 it's the same thing, man. The coyote is beautiful. He moves through the
 desert delicately, aware of everything, looking around. He hears every
 sound, smells every smell, sees everything that moves. He's in a state
 of total paranoia, and total paranoia is total awareness.'
 
  'There's nothing wrong with being incompetent... It just means you
 don't have to do as much.'

There are four levels of interpretation of the Torah (and stuff??),

2. remez (hint, suggestion)

the deeper levels besides p'shat via any translation...

[FairfieldLife] Master key to Android phones discovered??

2013-08-13 Thread card

Conclusion

Investing in Nokia is still risky, because it is facing an uphill battle. New 
Nokia Lumia Phones have good features, and the street is projecting a rise in 
Lumia sales. Despite discouraging EPS and increasing competition, Nokia has the 
potential to bounce back. The security concerns with Android are rising. 
According to a recent report by BBC, the master key to Android phones has been 
discovered. This can give cyber thieves open access to almost any Android 
phone. Due to limited downside, protection from valuable patents and Lumia's 
growth, I recommend investors to go for Nokia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Havre_(film)

Production[edit source | editbeta]

Kaurismäki had the idea of a film about an African child who arrives in Europe 
three years before the production started.[5] His original intention was to set 
the story on the Mediterranean coast, preferably in Italy or Spain, but he had 
difficulties finding a suitable city. According to Kaurismäki, he drove 
through the whole seafront from Genoa to Holland, and eventually settled on Le 
Havre in northern France, which attracted him with its atmosphere and music 
scene.[6][7]

The script was written in the summer 2009.[8] The names of several characters 
were chosen as homages to French film icons, such as Arletty and Jacques 
Becker. The name of the lead character, Marcel Marx, was inspired by Karl Marx. 
The character had previously appeared in Kaurismäki's 1992 film La Vie de 
Bohème, where he also was played by André Wilms. The character Monet was 
inspired by Porfiry Petrovich, the detective from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime 
and Punishment.[7]

   As much as I appreciated the fellows sensitivity, graciousness
   and ability to write poetically something obviously went very
   wrong. To me it seemed he was trying to force Maharishi into
   acknowledge his enlightenment, which I personally don't think
   was a very wise thing to do.
  
  That's exactly what he did, but it was back in *1983*, and
  he realizes now it wasn't a very wise thing to do. On the
  other hand, at the time he had reason to believe that
  Maharishi supported him totallly, and he was flabbergasted
  and distressed by Maharishi's response to his demand that
  Maharishi certify his enlightenment, which was recorded and
  played in court when MIU sued him. Again, he's described 
  all this in his posts.
  
   Someone here, Dr.D ?, suggested he should have waited for
   awhile, stopped and see how things develop, which would have
   been a wise thing to do. Instead he rushed away proclaiming
   all kinds of stuff to people hungry for someone to talk to.
  
  That's yet another absurd characterization. He didn't rush
  away. He stayed for the rest of the course he was on and
  then went home. There was no way he could keep it a secret
  that he had become enlightened; Maharishi had asked him to
  talk about it to the course participants, and of course the
  word got around. 
 
 There you have it. The word got around because they couldn't keep their big 
 mouths shut. I feel sorry for Maharishi having to deal with all these 
 nitwits, these hard knots of ignorance, including myself :-)
 What an impossible task he took upon himself, still he managed to pull it 
 through with the support of the Masters of the Holy Tradition.
 
 This quote is from 1983, after the events you are referring to. But somehow I 
 doubt these course participant nor Robin would be able to grasp it's 
 significance. I also had to learn this lesson the hard way:

phlegm. Then by an increased

55. He, while seated in Padma posture, levitates. There arises to him the power 
to perform
extraordinary feats.
56. ***He does (or should) not disclose to others his feats of great powers (in 
the path)***. Any pain small
or great, does not affect the Yogin.
57. Then excretions and sleep are diminished; tears, rheum in the eye, salivary 
flow, sweat and bad

1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he 
remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair 
young virgins sought for the king:
3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that 
they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to 
the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper 
of the women; and let their things for purification be given them : [unto 
the...: Heb. unto the hand] [Hege: also called, Hegai]
4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And 
the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
5 Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, 
the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been 
carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of 
Babylon had carried away. [Jeconiah: also called, Jehoiachin]
7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is , Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she 
had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom 
Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. 
[brought...: Heb. nourished] [fair...: Heb. fair of form, and good of 
countenance]
8 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and 
when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the 
custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the 
custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily 
gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and 
seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he 
preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women. 
[such...: Heb. her portions] [preferred: Heb. changed]
10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged 
her that she should not shew it .
11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know 
how Esther did, and what should become of her. [to know...: Heb. to know the 
peace]
12 Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that 
she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were 
the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit , six months with oil of 
myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the 
purifying of the women;)
13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given 
her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second 
house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which 
kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king 
delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, 
who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she 
required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the 
women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that 
looked upon her.
16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth 
month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and 
favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown 
upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti. [favour: or, kindness] [in 
his...: Heb. before him]
18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even 
Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, 
according to the state of the king. [release: Heb. rest]
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai 
sat in the king's gate.
20 Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had 
charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was 
brought up with him.
21 In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's 
chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and 
sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. [Bigthan: also called, Bigthana] [the 
door: Heb. the threshold]
22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and 
Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name.
23 And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore 
they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the 
chronicles before the king.

[FairfieldLife] Rajeev mourned?

Rajeev Suri (born 1967) is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nokia Siemens 
Networks [nowadaze Nokia Solutions and Networks -- card] since October 1, 2009. 
Before being appointed the CEO, he headed the Services Division of Nokia 
Siemens Networks from August 2007 until September 2009 from India,[1][2] and 
this division now contributes about half the company's revenues.[3][4]

Perhaps one might say, that this is kinda ironic:

The word 'suri' / ~ soorry/ in Finnish is the past tense third person singular 
form of the verb 'surra', meaning 'to mourn'. Thus 'Rajeev suri' in Finnish 
would mean 'Rajeev mourned', LoL and go figure!

 A while back, I googled around and found an article explaining why Nokia 
 didn't just switch to Android. Apparently, they didn't want to compete with 
 Samsung, because look what Samsung has done to HTC. So, the solution is to 
 partner with a company that for years has never been anything more than a 
 tiny niche player in the mobile phone market? Going all out on the quality of 
 the tiny camera inside a phone is niche enough as it is, and running it with 
 a little used OS with a crappy app market will only serve to keep that niche 
 as tiny as possible. Where's the recipe for success in all that?


From the POV of Nokia, one problem amongst many might be that
especially Chinese manufacturers might use several Nokia-patents
shamelessly for free...

  channels and found a show actually being broadcast in English. I
  had heard of it before, because it's mentioned so often on Huffpost
  and on other social media outlets, but I had never seen it before.
 
  Now that I have finally seen Glee, I am convinced that it's pretty
  much the perfect metaphor not only for Fairfield Life, but for the
  fantasy projected lifestyle that many have come to believe is their
  real lifestyle.
 
  I mean, the basic metaphor is an American high school. That's
  pretty much synonymous with superficiality, self-absorption, and
  lack of contact with reality, right? It's rife with drama queens,
  real queens, cliques, mean girl clubs, poseurs, and idiots who
  believe they're geniuses.
 
  If you live in the US and haven't seen it, I think you'd find it
  *remarkably* reminiscent of Fairfield Life. And possibly life in
  Fairfield itself.
 
  Where else, after all, could you find a bunch of people ecstatic

Creating a situation where you operate at lower stress-levels
  shouldn't make a lick of difference as to how interesting or
  uninteresting people find you unless it is the self-destructive impulses
  due to stress that people are finding interesting.
  
   This is often the way with music and art. And war has always
   been the biggest motivator of industry, do you think we would
   have got to the moon without the Rusky threat, no chance. Forget
   Mars, and Jeebus, in what way would people spending 4 hours a day
   in the dome make them more likely to build huge rockets. It gives
   you *less* time to do stuff, the accomplish more thing is a joke
   isn't it?
  
DO you think that the existence of crime and war in the world make
  the world a more interesting place to live? What if we used those same
  resources to go to Mars or devise a better educational system, or a
  better Internet?
   
Wouldn't the world be at least as interesting in that situation?
  
   It would be interesting to live in a fantasy world yes. But I don't
   see any great discoveries coming from meditators, unless I missed
   something, I think TM - fundamentally - don't do jack shit, you are
  either a great thinker to start with, or you aren't

...this Amazon review is written by an M$ or Mokia employee:

11 of 12 people found the following review helpful

5.0 out of 5 stars When in doubt, just capture the whole thing and forget about 
it, August 5, 2013

By Sky Blue (germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia Lumia 1020, Yellow (ATT) (Wireless Phone)
The other day I visited a local violin shop and was reading boardfull of ads, 
standing in front of a wall in the shop, as I was searching for a violin 
instructor. Suddenly a thought came into my mind - 'Wait, why am I doing this? 
All I have to do is to take a photo of the entire wall from a few steps back, 
go home, blow it up on my computer screen, and I can read even the finest fonts 
on the ads including contacts.' Old habits die hard and I was not utilizing my 
new Lumia 1020 until this idea hit me! So I did just that, and bingo, there was 
nothing I could not read at home, even though the photo was taken under dim 
light of the shop! (By the way this camera has xenon flash as well, but ISO 
4000 did the trick without the flash.)

You cannot possibly know the usefulness or desirability of something until you 
have one. Someone once said, The world never needed Beethoven's ninth symphony 
until he created it. Now the world cannot live without it. You cannot know how 
convenient it is to have a camera that is far sharper than your own eyes until 
you have one. No matter where you go, you have the world's best capturing and 
recording device with you. I can think of infinite uses. I have graduated 
college ages ago, but if I can go back to the bright college years, I would no 
longer need to take the notes, at least not from the blackboard -- I can simply 
capture the entire blackboard image when the professor is done filling it up 
and should be able to read the faintest chalk writing later in my room.

By the way, 41 Megapixel does not mean you will get 41 megabyte size photo 
files with every shot you take! Thanks to the amazing Pureview technology that 
packs 7 mega into each mega super pixel, you get a 5 megabyte photo plus 1 
megabyte email attachment size automatically. You can further crop anyway you 
want on your camera and the result will be still far better than any smartphone 
photography in the world, if not most compact digital cameras. (Sad to say, I 
think this really nailed the last one on the coffin of the category called 
compact digital cameras. Who needs those now when Lumia 1020 has a better 
lens, better sensor, far better software technology, and you can even use it as 
a phone?)

With Lumia 1020, the background passerby's face will be sharper than the 
carefully composed shot of your grandma that you took with your Galaxy -- that 
is unless you intentionally tried outfocusing effect which you can also do 
with this super smartphone. So if you need to capture certain information but 
unsure of which to take, or if you are not sure of the composition of your 
shot, just capture the whole thing and then worry about it later -- you can 
crop, view, do whatever you want and your photo will still retain that sharp 
resolution.

OTHER PLUSES:

-Windows Phone 8 is EXTREMELY stable. I repeat: no crashes whatsoever. Totally 
different experience from using Android.
-Double Core Lumia 1020 certainly feels whole a lot faster than the quadcore 
Galaxy S3 I used. I think quadcore is a marketing ploy, a gimmick.
-Touch is so much more accurate than all android systems I used including 
Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7. So much fewer mistyped characters when writing emails or 
sending messages.
-Separate and independent camera button (real, physical one) a big plus. No 
need to go through the app process to take a picture. It's like having a 
completely dual identity: a phone and a camera. Neither is subordinated to the 
other. Each stands on its own.
-Best of all, wifi and 4G LTE data switching is seamless and fast. My Galaxy S3 
used to search for the right wifi or data all the time and when the wifi 
signal was weak, it would not work at all so that I would have to turn off 
wifi when there was weak wifi around just to use the data. No such things ever 
happened. Extremely strong wifi signal reception and superfast 4G LTE with 
ATT. Totally happy with this.
-Having Live Tiles is like having widgets in lieu of app icons. They display 
information in the absence of activating the app such as where you last left 
off in your Kindle, what appointment you have today, etc. Furthermore, you can 
change the sizes of them (just like widgets) so that you can vary the sizes 
according to each app's importance, how much information you want to view 
without activating the app, etc.
-Rock solid. I dropped mine twice without any protection from about 1.5 meter 
heights. Not a scratch.
-Beautifully organized file system. With Android, the pictures I took were all 
over the folders. This is whole a lot neater.
-Beautifully organized email system. I have my major email in the biggest 
square

Well, how about some intriguing etc quotes from the Hitopadesha
(Friendly advice)?

Hitopadesha 
(Sanskrit:#2361;#2367;#2340;#2379;#2346;#2342;#2375;#2358;#2307; 
Hitopade#347;a) is a collection of Sanskrit fables in prose and verse written 
in the 12th century. It is an independent treatment of the Panchatantra.[1] It 
is meant as an exposition on statecraft (including the conduct of war and peace 
and the development of allies) but was produced in a format easily digestible 
for young princes.

[FairfieldLife] Self-powered phones??

2013-08-06 Thread card

http://seekingalpha.com/article/1605372-is-nokia-really-making-self-powered-phones?source=email_rt_article_readmore

Every now and then something new comes along that changes everything, from the 
way we think to the way we work, even the way we play.

According to an article in the U.K.'s Guardian, Nokia (NOK) is developing a 
phone that recharges itself without being plug to a power source.

Nokia has developed a prototype charging system that is able to power itself on 
nothing more than ambient radiowaves. In other words, deriving energy from the 
TV, radio and mobile phone signals that permanently surround us.

The power harvested is small but it is almost enough to power a mobile phone in 
standby mode indefinitely without ever needing to plug into a power source. 
That according to Markku Rouvala, one of the researchers who developed the 
device at the Nokia Research Centre in Cambridge, UK.

 Then JW's band came on and played some blues, but without
 the great man himself. Eventually a frail, stooped, seemingly

 this point it was all looking like a sad, uncomfortable mistake.
 But then he was handed his guitar, and I swear you could see the

 Dancing is real big around here. I recently took
 dancing lessons at the university by joining a
 folk dance group to learn folk dancing.
 
 We really like the two-step around here, 2/4.
 Polka music and dancing the two-step is sort of
 like the 'polska', which has a 3/4 beat; a
 Swedish dance style, but the Polka dance is
 apparently from Polish roots.
 
 Polka music has very popular and over time
 evolved into Ragtime dances and Rockabilly music
 styles.
 
 Further south, polka music began to sound a lot
 like Cajun and Cajunta music. Go figure.
 
 Polka is also popular in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
 where the Beer Barrel Polka is played during the
 seventh inning stretch and halftime of Milwaukee
 Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks games.

  folk dance group to learn folk dancing.
  
  We really like the two-step around here, 2/4.
  Polka music and dancing the two-step is sort of
  like the 'polska', which has a 3/4 beat; a
  Swedish dance style, but the Polka dance is
  apparently from Polish roots.
  
  Polka music has very popular and over time
  evolved into Ragtime dances and Rockabilly music
  styles.
  
  Further south, polka music began to sound a lot
  like Cajun and Cajunta music. Go figure.
  
  Polka is also popular in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
  where the Beer Barrel Polka is played during the
  seventh inning stretch and halftime of Milwaukee
  Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks games.

 A long time ago, during a discussion about the rewards of achieving
 cosmic consciousness, a TM teacher I knew opined that all life's
 problems would vanish. One of those present asked if that meant diseases
 would be overcome. Yes, said our teacher. Then, curiously, he mentioned
 that one time he'd been in Maharishi's presence and our guru had a
 cold. But I think I know why he did that , said the teacher. Well yes,
 I think I know why Maharishi had a cold: he came into contact with the
 common cold virus just like the rest of us do. So what did the teacher
 mean by that enigmatic remark? On reflection I guessed he was implying
 that someone in Maharishi's inner circle was coming down with the bug;
 it would be very inconvenient that said person would be off work so
 Maharishi voluntarily took on his karma. By himself developing the cold
 symptoms he also released the original target from falling ill.
 That immediately led to two reactions on my part : -Jesus, I hope he
 doesn't say shit like this to non-members. They might think that people
 in the TMO are a bit weird. And  This has to be the perfect
 Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card. Reasoning like that can provide the
 perfect excuse for any apparent lapses in Maharishi's behaviour.
 In those days I used to smoke and the same teacher said to me once that
 he'd never known a smoker achieve a clear experience of transcendence. I

When we arrived at the E-institute in Helsinki for our flying block near Xmas 
1978, the first thing a couple of participants were
concerned about was where they can smoke...LoL!

 My comment that Vaccines are the panacea that cures all ills wasn't meant 
 to be taken literally, Mr. PhD. It was in fact an example of both hyperbole, 
 which is the use of exaggeration to emphasize a point, and the use of 
 allusion, which is using one fact or idea to reference another, although it 
 was more hyperbole than allusion. 
 
 I was alluding to the fact that drug companies aggressively and somewhat 
 deceptively market their wares (both drugs and vaccines) and using a bit of 
 exaggeration to make the point, as well as alluding to the deceptive 
 marketing practices of TM.
 
 If you and feste who seem eager to root out the ignorant and uneducated here 
 on FFL would spend some time EDUCATING yourselves as to the use of literary 
 devices in the English
  language, AND educate yourselves about the way drug companies market their 
 wares you would be much better off than simply blindly accepting what the 
 drug companies tell you. 
 
 I know that is difficult since you have had a fine indoctrination from the 
 TMO to just believe what you are told, but a bit of education on your part on 
 these matters might stand you in good stead. 
 
 I doubt you read all that I posted on drug companies, but my writing is based 
 on my reading on the subject, various investigative reporting that has been 
 done in the past 20 years on the enormities of drug companies, first hand 
 accounts from friends of mine who are drug company reps and my own good 
 common sense. 
 
 Once again I offer you good sense in a cogent and concise manner, regardless 
 of what Barry thinks.

 It is a little painful to say, Mike, that you do appear, as Feste has said, 
 to be pretty uneducated.  Where have vaccines been declared to be a 
 panacea that cures all ills.  This is your trademark hyperbole, which you 
 likely would not have the ability to back up. But maybe you'd like to give 
 it a try.

  As much of an asshole as you're showing yourself to be,
  nobody's about to ban you from FFL for expressing your

  That you would consider being banned for doing so even a

[FairfieldLife] Pronunciation of 'kohelet'?

2013-07-30 Thread card

Anyone know how 'kohelet' (Preacher; according to Wiki, actually
'gatherer', like 'vyaasa') should be pronounced?

For some peculiar reason, I tend to pronounce it approximately
like 'ko-HAY-let' (stress accent on the second syllable, :0 )

The reason might be, that IMO

havel havelim omar kohelet, havel havelim. hakol havel

...sounds better when the second syllable (-he-) is pronounced
long, like it would be in Sanskrit...
