[FairfieldLife] 'Obama: Back to the Beginning'
Obama heads to Iowa for Earth Day By PHILIP ELLIOTT – WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is going on the road to pitch his energy plan — as well as environmentally friendly jobs production — in a hard-hit Iowa town, while administration officials make a similar push back in Washington.The White House's Earth Day message comes as Obama has watched his energy legislation stall in Congress. Obama's Environmental Protection Agency chief and energy and transportation secretaries all were scheduled to testify before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Wednesday with themes similar to Obama, who planned a swift visit to economically struggling Newton, Iowa.White House aides said the president would highlight his plans to create jobs and protect the environment. He planned to tour — then tout — Newton's Trinity Structural Towers wind energy plant as a model for job creation and energy production in a town whose biggest employer was sold and then stopped operations.Newton's Maytag Corp. appliances plant closed in 2007, costing the small city hundreds of jobs. But a year later, the state announced that Trinity Structural Towers would build a $21 million factory on the former Maytag site and employ about 140 workers, in exchange for business incentives and tax breaks.Obama's energy plan would drive more investments to companies such as Trinity, which builds the towers that support wind turbines. White House officials said that beyond the boost to the economy that such investment would bring, families also would benefit eventually from lower energy costs.To that end, the administration's economic stimulus plan included some $5 billion for low-income weatherization programs and $2 billion for electric car research. Another $500 million was set aside to train workers for green jobs, such as those at Trinity Structural Towers.White House environmental advisers also say the costs of dealing with climate change can be reduced dramatically by adopting programs that will spur energy efficiency and wider use of non-fossil energy such as wind, solar and biofuels.Yet wind-produced electricity still totals just under 2 percent of all electricity generated, according to the American Wind Energy Association, a trade group.It's a small number, but with real effects, Obama aides note: Last year, the U.S. wind industry gained 13,000 direct jobs, and about half of wind turbines' components are made domestically.During his political campaign, Obama touted wind as a prime source of renewable energy. Aides say he's remains steadfast in his support for an energy plan that would reduce greenhouse gases by 20 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, and 83 percent by mid-century.Obama's plan also calls for a series of measures aimed at reducing the use of fossil energy, such as requiring utilities to produce a quarter of their electricity from renewable sources.But despite its long-term potential, the legislation's short-term prospects were tough, White House aides acknowledged. Lawmakers from coal-producing states are not keen on Obama's plan to tax carbon emissions, and Republicans say the potential impact on business could be dangerous.The House began four days of hearings on climate legislation Tuesday, but the challenge of getting bipartisan support immediately became apparent. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood all planned to reinforce Obama's message in testimony Wednesday.

PolitiFact has won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for coverage of the 2008 election. The board cited PolitiFact's use of probing reporters and the power of the World Wide Web to examine more than 750 political claims, separating rhetoric from truth to enlighten voters. Neil Brown, executive editor of the St. Petersburg Times, which launched PolitiFact in August 2007, said the award was proof that the Web is not a death sentence for newspapers. In fact, PolitiFact marries the power of old-fashioned shoe-leather journalism with an extraordinarily powerful way to present it. He wrote, Online databases are rapidly becoming one of the important tools of watchdog journalism in the digital age. Identifying PolitiFact as the best national reporting of the year will only speed that trend. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/
[FairfieldLife] The Tragedy of US Educational Policy
April 22, 2009 Op-Ed Columnist Swimming Without a Suit By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN Speaking of financial crises and how they can expose weak companies and weak countries, Warren Buffett once famously quipped that only when the tide goes out do you find out who is not wearing a bathing suit. So true. But what's really unnerving is that America appears to be one of those countries that has been swimming buck naked in more ways than one. Credit bubbles are like the tide. They can cover up a lot of rot. In our case, the excess consumer demand and jobs created by our credit and housing bubbles have masked not only our weaknesses in manufacturing and other economic fundamentals, but something worse: how far we have fallen behind in K-12 education and how much it is now costing us. That is the conclusion I drew from a new study by the consulting firm McKinsey, entitled The Economic Impact of the Achievement Gap in America's Schools. Just a quick review: In the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. dominated the world in K-12 education. We also dominated economically. In the 1970s and 1980s, we still had a lead, albeit smaller, in educating our population through secondary school, and America continued to lead the world economically, albeit with other big economies, like China, closing in. Today, we have fallen behind in both per capita high school graduates and their quality. Consequences to follow. For instance, in the 2006 Program for International Student Assessment that measured the applied learning and problem-solving skills of 15-year-olds in 30 industrialized countries, the U.S. ranked 25th out of the 30 in math and 24th in science. That put our average youth on par with those from Portugal and the Slovak Republic, rather than with students in countries that are more relevant competitors for service-sector and high-value jobs, like Canada, the Netherlands, Korea, and Australia, McKinsey noted. Actually, our fourth-graders compare well on such global tests with, say, Singapore. But our high school kids really lag, which means that the longer American children are in school, the worse they perform compared to their international peers, said McKinsey. There are millions of kids who are in modern suburban schools who don't realize how far behind they are, said Matt Miller, one of the authors. They are being prepared for $12-an-hour jobs not $40 to $50 an hour. It is not that we are failing across the board. There are huge numbers of exciting education innovations in America today from new modes of teacher compensation to charter schools to school districts scattered around the country that are showing real improvements based on better methods, better principals and higher standards. The problem is that they are too scattered leaving all kinds of achievement gaps between whites, African-Americans, Latinos and different income levels. Using an economic model created for this study, McKinsey showed how much those gaps are costing us. Suppose, it noted, that in the 15 years after the 1983 report `A Nation at Risk' sounded the alarm about the `rising tide of mediocrity' in American education, the U.S. had lifted lagging student achievement to higher benchmarks of performance? What would have happened? The answer, says McKinsey: If America had closed the international achievement gap between 1983 and 1998 and had raised its performance to the level of such nations as Finland and South Korea, United States G.D.P. in 2008 would have been between $1.3 trillion and $2.3 trillion higher. If we had closed the racial achievement gap and black and Latino student performance had caught up with that of white students by 1998, G.D.P. in 2008 would have been between $310 billion and $525 billion higher. If the gap between low-income students and the rest had been narrowed, G.D.P. in 2008 would have been $400 billion to $670 billion higher. There are some hopeful signs. President Obama recognizes that we urgently need to invest the money and energy to take those schools and best practices that are working from islands of excellence to a new national norm. But we need to do it with the sense of urgency and follow-through that the economic and moral stakes demand. With Wall Street's decline, though, many more educated and idealistic youth want to try teaching. Wendy Kopp, the founder of Teach for America, called the other day with these statistics about college graduates signing up to join her organization to teach in some of our neediest schools next year: Our total applications are up 40 percent. Eleven percent of all Ivy League seniors applied, 16 percent of Yale's senior class, 15 percent of Princeton's, 25 percent of Spellman's and 35 percent of the African-American seniors at Harvard. In 130 colleges, between 5 and 15 percent of the senior class applied. Part of it, said Kopp, is a lack of jobs elsewhere. But part of it is students responding to the call that this

I may be the only one left enjoying the conversation about the puja... but here is something I thought of this morning. The movement wants TM in schools but they have a dilemma. TM was invented out of a religious tradition. Maharishi has said that we need to recognize the source of the knowledge when we teach to keep it pure. There is also a deeper belief that the puja does some kind of magic to the mantra and this is a religious belief. So if the movement really wants to teach a secular mediation they could say this instead of doing the puja before teaching someone: Before you teach someone, and without the picture of the Hindu Pope in front or an alter the teacher says to the student: Before we teach TM we always start by acknowledging the tradition of meditation teachers who have given us this wisdom of integration of life. The closest to us in this line was Maharishi's teacher Guru Dev, who was a religious leader in India. Maharishi secularized his teaching so that anyone from any background could enjoy meditation without interfering with their own beliefs and background. As meditation teachers, we always remember the source of our tradition and promise to maintain the purity and effectiveness of how Maharishi instructed us to teach. Now let's begin. Of course this will never happen because the movement believes in the puja AS a religious act with magical properties. What I just said would satisfy the brochure level claim that the purpose of the puja is to keep the knowledge pure by acknowledging the tradition. It also makes explicit the religious source of TM without the Vedic two-step song and dance. This of course does not address the mantras or the religious assumptions in the 3 days of checking. But I am offering this not as a serious suggestion (I was born at night but it wasn't LAST night) but as an indicator for the lack of seriousness in the movement for teaching TM in a truly secular way. My suggestion would be considered absurd in the movement because it ignores the religious superstitions that surround the imparting of the mantra. My suggestion would be only the first step in actually secularizing the teaching. But the movement would never consider even this one step. They want it both ways, all the religious magic of the puja as well as the front of a secular practice. And thy have gotten away with this slippery move for the most part pretty well. Right up till they try to put it in schools. Here, the shell game becomes transparent, and their lack of sincerity in offering a truly secular meditation to schools becomes obvious.
[FairfieldLife] Desperate Bush Admin Used Torture To Look For Iraq-Qaida Link
WASHINGTON The Bush administration applied relentless pressure on interrogators to use harsh methods on detainees in part to find evidence of cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's regime, according to a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a former Army psychiatrist. Such information would've provided a foundation for one of former President George W. Bush's main arguments for invading Iraq in 2003. In fact, no evidence has ever been found of operational ties between Osama bin Laden's terrorist network and Saddam's regime. The use of abusive interrogation widely considered torture as part of Bush's quest for a rationale to invade Iraq came to light as the Senate issued a major report tracing the origin of the abuses and President Barack Obama opened the door to prosecuting former U.S. officials for approving them. ~Full article here: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/66622.html

Seems to me that your intellect is capable of taking up your skills a notch by hanging with another genius, but from my side, as an inventor myself, you surely must be at that stage where you can turn out a new dish every single time you cook, and it'll be as creative and savory as any dish that any chef can create. 98% of the customers surely wouldn't have the chops to say that your menu is less inviting than this chef's menu, so what's your goal? I can understand working with another chef, and hoping to secure a stable position of respect there, but as for you as an artist, I can't see you becoming more creative -- only creating more dishes in this chef's cuisine. Are you searching for your inner cuisine -- your artistic style or genre? And, the really important question is, aside from your excitement at the new prospect, and other than your intuitive powers (which are potent if your posts are any indication,) what has you assured that this chef's personality will be harmonious with yours?

[FairfieldLife] Book Review: Under The Thumb Of Cult Leader Sri Chinmoy
UNDER THE THUMB OF CULT LEADER SRI CHINMOY By Krystle M. Davis Forbes.com April 14, 2009 http://www.forbes.com/2009/04/14/jayanti-tamm-carwheels-sari-opinions-book-r eviews-cults-sri-chinmoy.html Book Review: Jayanti Tamm's ''Cartwheels in a Sari Purchase on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0307393925/newheavenneweart Cults are notorious for convincing people to do the unthinkable. In March, a member of the now-defunct One Mind Ministries pleaded guilty to starving her son to death. Allegedly, she and other cult members stopped feeding the 1-year-old because he wouldn't say amen at mealtime. Back in 1993, David Koresh's Branch Davidian sect ended in a conflagration after a 51-day standoff with the FBI. In 1978, over 900 members of the People's Temple died at Jonestown, Guyana, in a mass murder-suicide; and in 1997, scores of Heaven's Gate followers killed themselves in California. But not all cult members' stories end so tragically. In her fascinating new memoir, Cartwheels in A Sari, Jayanti Tamm describes growing up in a cult within mainstream America -- and how she eventually managed to break free. With a succinct and earnest writing style, Tamm delivers a coming-of-age story overflowing with heartbreaking and hilarious moments. Read his 2007 New York Times obituary http://bit.ly/X41HO, and Sri Chinmoy comes across as a kind-hearted spiritual leader who championed world peace through his art, music and athleticism. His meditation center's Web site http://www.srichinmoycentre.org/ likens him to Jesus Christ, Buddha and Krishna. Well into his 70s, crowds gathered to watch the old man's extreme weightlifting feats, which included lifting an airplane (with the help of an apparatus). Celebrity followers have included Olympian Carl Lewis and musicians Carlos Santana and Roberta Flack. And a host of prominent people -- Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Princess Diana, to name a few -- have applauded Chinmoy's dedication to promoting unity and world peace. Tamm, on the other hand, depicts a charlatan who masqueraded as a god and convinced hundreds of thousands to worship him. Her parents were among the first disciples. Chinmoy arranged a divine marriage between a Yale-educated hippie and a single mother, then told them to practice abstinence. (Most disciples, however, were directed to remain single.) When Tamm's parents disobeyed and conceived her, Chinmoy invented a myth to explain her birth. He declared her the Chosen One, a miracle child he'd selected to be his most devoted follower. When she was a year old, Tamm's family moved to Connecticut and opened a meditation center in their basement. She writes, The sole point of everything was Guru ... Our house felt like a Guru museum, replete with photo gallery -- pictures of Guru occupied every single free space upon the wall. From Tamm's description of Chinmoy, it's hard to help but draw parallels to Warren Jeffs, the imprisoned leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, whose picture still adorns the walls of classrooms on the Yearning for Zion ranch in Texas. Tamm says the guru always had the last word in her household. TV was mostly forbidden, but she was allowed to watch The Muppet Show and Little House on the Prairie. The guru disparaged education, so instead of doing her homework, she spent hours memorizing aphorisms and songs he wrote. Consuming alcohol, caffeine and meat; dancing; sex and dating; socializing with outsiders; and owning pets were prohibited. But the guru contradicted himself and made hypocritical decisions. Despite his ban on pets, as a preteen, Tamm worked long, unpaid hours during the summer cleaning cages in Chinmoy's Queens basement, where he kept his collection of exotic pets from around the world. She also says the guru controlled his pupils by pitting them against one another. He created a caste system that allowed him to demote or promote members at will. He encouraged members to keep tabs on one another and turn in rule-breakers. Tamm says he once held a fundraiser where disciples paid $25 apiece to hear him describe their worst qualities. At one meditation session, he held a contest for the ugliest girl -- a young member with a boil on her face won the distinction. When Tamm was ejected repeatedly for dating, she felt compelled to beg for forgiveness and return to the organization. But at 25, she was so unhappy that she attempted suicide, and Chinmoy banned her permanently without explanation. Tamm's memoir is the first book to document Chinmoy's life and expose the insular existence his followers adopted. As Tamm notes, the 7,000 current members worldwide, and countless others who have encountered Chinmoy, are likely to have had different experiences and perceptions. She doesn't pretend to have the definitive story. But her account reveals a great deal. Wikipedia on Sri Chinmoy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Chinmoy

Much of it is understanding the use of colloquialism in American English and concepts that are pretty foreign to Indians. It is also understanding the (unsustainable) American lifestyle and how to take some of the concepts of yoga and make them work in that lifestyle. Much of it is looking at simpler village traditions in Indian which are not burdened by intellectualism (the favorite sport of TM'ers) and don't take a lot of time to grasp. That's why I'm very happy with the teachings I've learned from a tantra master who I can call up or just visit to ask all the questions I want. Try that with a pop guru (who usually know far, far less).

[FairfieldLife] Jesus Worshipers Run Amok in Florida Public School
Public schools in St. Johns County, Florida have been infiltrated by Christianist radicals from the top of the organization down, leaving the community in an uproar and the school district in federal court. The trouble started when several teachers at Webster Elementary School in St. Augustine decided this little ditty, In God We Still Trust by the country music group Diamond Rio, should be sung by third graders in their annual assembly at the end of the year. Parents of several children objected to the song, which calls for an end to separation of church and state through a Christian uprising. Now there are those among us Who want to push him out And erase his name from everything This country's all about From the schoolhouse to the courthouse They're silencing his word Now it's time for all believers To make our voices heard The parents were told their children didn't have to sing this song. There's just one little catch. If they chose to abstain they would be barred from participation in the entire program. Cue up the first lawsuit. Only upon being informed the suit was filed did the school district pull the song from the program. But not without whining in a press release first. Even after a judge ruled that the school violated the First Amendment rights of the students and parents, teachers and administrators still didn't get it This is obviously someone again using the school system (as well as taxpayers' money to defend the lawsuit) for their own personal agenda, [said Superintendent Joseph Joyner]. Unfortunately, this is not unusual and distracts us from our mission. The nature of Joyner's mission is the issue. The superintendent and other county notables, including the sheriff, tax collector, and members of the state's attorneys office, belong to the steering committee of a group called The Marketplace, whose flagrant goal is to bring Jesus into the office. The purpose of The Marketplace is to help men and women fulfill their call right in their own place of work. To realize that their workplace IS their ministry Where do the majority of people spend the majority of time interacting with the majority of unsaved people? it is where most people spend 60-70% of their waking hours the workplace. If we are going to see our society changed for Jesus Christ we will have to change the way we equip believers to live out their faith where they spend a majority of their time. If you thought there was a wait, there's more coming, you're right.

In March, a member of the now-defunct One Mind Ministries pleaded guilty to starving her son to death. Allegedly, she and other cult members stopped feeding the 1-year-old because he wouldn't say amen at mealtime. Back in 1993, David Koresh's Branch Davidian sect ended in a conflagration after a 51-day standoff with the FBI. In 1978, over 900 members of the People's Temple died at Jonestown, Guyana, in a mass murder-suicide; and in 1997, scores of Heaven's Gate followers killed themselves in California. But not all cult members' stories end so tragically. In her fascinating new memoir, Cartwheels in A Sari, Jayanti Tamm describes growing up in a cult within mainstream America -- and how she eventually managed to break free. With a succinct and earnest writing style, Tamm delivers a coming-of-age story overflowing with heartbreaking and hilarious moments. Read his 2007 New York Times obituary http://bit.ly/ X41HO http://bit.ly/X41HO , and Sri Chinmoy comes across as a kind-hearted spiritual leader who championed world peace through his art, music and athleticism. His meditation center's Web site http://www.srichinm http://www.srichinmoycentre.org/ oycentre. org/ likens him to Jesus Christ, Buddha and Krishna. Well into his 70s, crowds gathered to watch the old man's extreme weightlifting feats, which included lifting an airplane (with the help of an apparatus). Celebrity followers have included Olympian Carl Lewis and musicians Carlos Santana and Roberta Flack. And a host of prominent people -- Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Princess Diana, to name a few -- have applauded Chinmoy's dedication to promoting unity and world peace. Tamm, on the other hand, depicts a charlatan who masqueraded as a god and convinced hundreds of thousands to worship him. Her parents were among the first disciples. Chinmoy arranged a divine marriage between a Yale-educated hippie and a single mother, then told them to practice abstinence. (Most disciples, however, were directed to remain single.) When Tamm's parents disobeyed and conceived her, Chinmoy invented a myth to explain her birth. He declared her the Chosen One, a miracle child he'd selected to be his most devoted follower. When she was a year old, Tamm's family moved to Connecticut and opened a meditation center in their basement. She writes, The sole point of everything was Guru ... Our house felt like a Guru museum, replete with photo gallery -- pictures of Guru occupied every single free space upon the wall.

[FairfieldLife] Why we're fascinated by Susan Boyle
http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/22/bregman.boyle/index.html CNN.com /entertainment Commentary: Why we're fascinated by Susan Boyle * Boyle wasn't painfully ordinary; she was amazingly extraordinary, says Bregman * Bregman: We go through life with hidden sense that we're destined for more * Author: Boyle was an overnight sensation, but her transformation was not overnight By Peter Bregman Special to CNN Editor's note: Peter Bregman is chief executive of Bregman Partners Inc., a global management consulting firm, and the author of Point B: A Short Guide to Leading a Big Change. He writes a weekly column, How We Work, for HarvardBusiness.org. Peter Bregman says we prejudged Susan Boyle by her looks and were fooled. NEW YORK (CNN) -- Susan Boyle, who recently performed on the U.K. television show Britain's Got Talent, has captured the world's attention. In case you've missed it, she's a 47-year-old unemployed charity worker who lives with her cat in a small village in Scotland. As soon as she walked on stage, the audience began to snicker and roll their eyes. Simon Cowell, the show's host, asked her some pre-performance questions in his famously condescending style, and to the audience's enjoyment, she answered awkwardly. She was painfully ordinary, and everyone was prepared, looking forward even, to see her fail. By now, if you don't know the story, you could guess it, right? She more than wowed them. She opened her mouth to sing, and, as judge Piers Morgan later said, she had the voice of an angel. She wasn't painfully ordinary; she was amazingly extraordinary. The audience immediately jumped to a standing ovation and stayed there until the end of the song. The YouTube video [at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY] of Susan's performance has, as of Tuesday, received more than 35 million views. We are riveted, and a recent article in USA Today does a good job of cataloguing all the reasons. We prejudged her by her looks and were fooled. We experienced the gamut of emotions in a few short moments: guilt, shame, vindication, hope. She's a modern-day Cinderella, and these days, it's a wonderful distraction and inspiration to witness the triumph of the human spirit. But there's something else Susan Boyle awakens in us as we watch her come out of her shell: our own selves. Who among us does not move through life with the hidden sense, maybe even quiet desperation, that we are destined for more? That underneath our ordinary exterior lays an extraordinary soul? That given the right opportunity, the right stage, the right audience, we would shine as the stars we truly are? That promise underlies most successful advertising campaigns: the desire to transform from caterpillar to butterfly. Maybe if you buy that (fill in the blank), people will see you for the sophisticated, cool, gorgeous, talented, lovable person you know you really are. But in our less desperate moments, we know we can't purchase that transformation. Although Susan Boyle became an overnight sensation, hers was not an overnight transformation. She's been practicing singing since she was 12. In her case, overnight was 35 years. It's easy to admire Susan. But it's far more interesting to be transformed by her. There is grace, a friend recently wrote to me, in being molded by your own gifts. To allow yourself to be molded by your own gifts takes courage. You have to be willing to stand there, exposed and authentic, while the audience rolls their eyes at you and sneers, expecting failure. And then, of course, you have to fail, laugh or cry, and keep going until, one day, they stop laughing and start clapping. But you can't do it alone. Susan Boyle didn't; she had a voice coach, Fred O'Neil, who worked with her for years and encouraged her to audition. And she had her mother. She was the one who said I should enter 'Britain's Got Talent.' We used to watch it together, Boyle told the British paper The Times of her mother, who died in 2007, She thought I would win. ... I am doing it as a tribute to my mum, and I think she would be very proud. If we're lucky, we have parents who encourage us. Nothing really replaces a mother or father who believes in you. But even if you don't have parents who believe in you, it's important to have someone. Someone you trust, enough that when they offer criticism, you know it's to draw you out more fully, not shut you down even partially. And a good supporting friend even sees through the talent, right through to you. With her mother gone, Boyle still has O'Neil. And recently he said to The Telegraph that he was worried all this attention was obscuring the real person he knew. I am concerned about her being surrounded by all these PR people, he said, that she will not be given the time to sing. Susan Boyle is a phenomenal role model for all of us, not just because of her talent or her courage or her

Absolutely. Have you ever seen a painting of a statue of a Hindu goddess who didn't have ample breasts? I rest my case. I have heard, in fact, that the TMO is about to announce a new course, supposedly more effective than the TM-siddhis. The new technique will be called Yogic Motorboating. Do not confuse this Vedic- based technique with the more mundane desc- ription of motorboating: The act of pushing one's face in between two ample breasts and rocking one's head side to side very rapidly while making a vigorous, lip-vibrating 'brrr' sound. Not the same thing at all. Yogic Motorboating is to regular motorboating as the butt-bouncing of Yogic Flying is to...uh...is to... Sorry... I can't really think of any parallel to Yogic Flying in the mundane world...forget I even brought it up. Anyway, the first Yogic Motorboating courses will be offered soon at Maharishi Peace Palaces throughout the world. While the target audience for these courses is of course men -- who are, after all, the only ones who matter in the TM view of spirituality -- exceptions will be made for lesbians and Hillary Clinton supporters, as long as they agree to practice the technique in a different Motorboating Dome than the men.

I don't have time to respond in detail now, but I have some details of this new course and will post them later. Also, I don't want FFL readers to think my posting about this new course is a spoof - it is for real. I will also briefly post some details here of another course that TurquoiseB may not be aware of. As usual, there are some amazing elements to this never-before offered course: There will be a special course for gay men - for obvious reasons, the regular Yogic Motorboating course may put unnecessary strain on the delicate physiology of the gay men who have contributed so much and so stylishly (and so silently)to Maharishi's Global Movement over the past 50 years. While full details are still being worked out, I can write that the gay men's course is tentatively titled Yogic B-Boating (YBB). While the goal of this new course is the same as the Yogic Motorboarding course, the mechanics of practice will be somewhat different. This is all the information I have at the moment. However, on a personal note, I will add that from my experience with regular B-Boating in other organizations, I am very, very excited about the upcoming course. So, those are the main points, and now it is time for many of us to rest before diving deep within and enlivening the silence as we continue to enjoy Maharishi's Heaven on Earth in this generation.

I'm sure that the monkey thinks it's owning the organ grinder as well. :-) Some folks on a.m.t. used to characterize our relationship as Judy being a wind-up toy and me being the person with the key. Whatever. The bottom line is that Judy has only one post left for the week and I have 20. Her compulsion to correct and manage any view of her that does not match the one in her head makes her easy prey. Did you ever watch Reverend Gene Scott on TV? I used to love Gene. He was a very smart guy, a Stanford grad, who realized that there was more money to be made in being a TV preacher than in other forms of bus- iness. His show was informative and some- times even esoteric, but basically it was 20% religion and 80% Send me money to fight Satan! This is not the percentage that the FCC demands of TV stations, so they were always trying to sue Gene and his TV station to provide the balance of programming required by the law. Gene did not take kindly to this, and so periodically he would go on anti-FCC rants in a very entertaining way. He bought all these little wind-up toys -- monkeys clanging cymbals, barking dogs, etc., and then he would wind them up and let them run around in front of his chair on live TV while he sat there and badrapped the FCC and said, Send me money to fight Satan and the FCC! The thing that Judy does not and has never understood is that I am *not* trying to silence her, as she has claimed. That is the *opposite* of what I intend. I have told her many, many times what my intention is, but her ego prevents her from hearing it, just as that same ego prevents her from seeing the truth about TM and what she has been taught about it. You don't wind up tiny toy monkeys clanging cymbals to silence them. You wind them up SO THAT THEY'LL DO THEIR THING AND PEOPLE WILL LAUGH AT THEM. Everything I ever needed to know about how to handle Judy Stein's stalking I learned from the late, great Reverend Gene Scott.

Uncle Tantra on the TM Religion: From: Uncle Tantra Subject: Re: Petrus and religion Newsgroups: alt.meditation.transcendental Date: October 17, 2002 To a person such as myself, who believes that the entire notion of Hindu Gods is a fantasy, a human attempt to personify real principles of nature, it really doesn't matter a damn whether someone else believes that the mantras were based on them. It has the same effect on me as if they believed they were based on the secret names of Harry Potter candy beans. Both beliefs are based on what I consider at best a myth, a creative fantasy. Why should I have to take these fantasies seriously just because a bunch of others do?
[FairfieldLife] Netanyahu Tells Obama What He Can Do With His Peace Plan
The Obama Administration will put forth new peace initiatives only if Israel wants it to, said Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman in his first comprehensive interview on foreign policy since taking office. Believe me, America accepts all our decisions, Lieberman told the Russian daily Moskovskiy Komosolets. ~~ Haaretz Newspaper in Israel http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1080097.html [What is this man smoking?] ~Netanyahu Government Tells Obama What He Can Do With His Peace Plan~ MJ Rosenberg - Washington Director of Policy Analysis, Israel Policy Forum - April 22, 2009 - http://snipurl.com/gh85a There can be no doubt: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu does not much care what President Obama thinks about negotiations with the Palestinians. He seems to be making the same mistake that Obama's opponents in the 2008 election made. He thinks Obama is a lightweight and that he can just roll him. It's pretty incredible considering that President Obama leads the nation that is Israel's lifeline. The whole world is lining up to cooperate with the new -- and incredibly popular -- President, but not the new Israeli government. Yesterday, speaking at the White House, Obama expressed, yet again, his strong commitment to the two-state solution and added that the United States is resolved to see action now. He called on Israelis and Palestinians to take some concrete steps all parties can take that are evidence of that resolution. The United States is going to deeply engage in this process to see if we can make progress. The Israeli government's response: fuggetaboutit. Today's Washington Post quotes Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon as saying that the new Israeli government will not move ahead on the core issues of peace talks with the Palestinians until it sees progress in U.S. efforts to stop Iran's suspected pursuit of a nuclear weapon and limit Tehran's rising influence in the region, (Post's words). It's a crucial condition if we want to move forward If we want to have a real political process with the Palestinians, then you can't have the Iranians undermining and sabotaging, Ayalon said. Israeli newspapers reported other officials with similar rejections of Obama's entreaty. Pretty incredible. One of the reasons Obama is so eager to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is because he understands that doing so will help the United States address the Iran issue without going to war. And here the Israeli government takes the American approach and stands it on its head. Talk about sabotaging. I guess Netanyahu is counting on pro-Israel organizations in America to line up behind him and not Obama. He is wrong. Someone needs to tell him that Barack Obama is more important than Avigdor Lieberman and the settler bloc. Maybe it should just be Obama.

[FairfieldLife] Frog In A Pot Syndrome
Reading scienceofabundance's great spoof, right on the heels of having watched the video of the Rajas in full regalia doing puja, the video of King Tony receiving his weight in gold, and the *real* ad for Mother Divine posted by Nabby, I found myself remembering an analogy that the Rama fellow I studied with for some time used to use. He claimed (though I've never actually done this so I can't swear that it's true...no frogs were harmed in the telling of this story) that if you take a frog and throw it in a pot of boiling water, the frog jumps right out and is fine. But if you take a frog and put it in a pot of cold water and then gradually heat the water, the frog will stay there until the water boils, and will die. Rama used the story as a warning about how we tend to get used to changes that happen to us gradually, and that over time those seemingly small changes build up and build up, and we eventually find ourselves in...uh...hot water. Think about the discussions that have been going on recently here on FFL. On one side there are people who have spent years *waking up* from decades of living in cult hot water, who are saying that the TM movement should be honest with potential new students and tell them about what the puja means, what the mantras mean in the context that they came from, what the Rajas wear when they're not trying to impress the press, and what life in the heaven on earth of a TM community is really like *before* they start TM. On the other side there are people who justify NOT telling prospective students these things. The argument they seem to fall back on is that the *only* important thing is that they get the technique. If that happens, everything will be OK these people say, even if the students were a little lied to, just with a tiny lie of omission. Well, I'm telling ya, that's a boiled frog talking. Would any sane person on planet Earth NOT be shocked at the sight of Rajas prancing around in robes and crowns pretending to rule an imaginary country? Would any sane person on planet Earth NOT split a gut at being told that the only way to make countries work is to tear down their capital cities and rebuild them from scratch? Would any sane person on planet Earth look at the pencil-neck Purusha geeks, the dry-as-a-bone Mother Divine women, and the fat, old, out-of-shape Rajas with their wives walking several paces behind them and actually WANT TO BE LIKE THEM? The ONLY people who can look at these things and see them as sane or even positive are people who have been in the pot too long, as the heat was turned up gradually over the span of decades. If Judy Stein had been confronted with what the TM is now when she first heard about TM, *there is simply no question* that she would never have started. Same for *most* of the TM supporters here. They'd take one look at the craziness and run the other way. And THAT is why they want to withhold information about the true nature of the TM movement from prospective students. On some level they must *know* that they're boiled frogs, and that the only reason they can possibly look at what the TM movement has become without wanting to run the other way is that they've been subjected to small outrage after small outrage after small outrage for decades, so gradually that they never noticed that it was building up to one big outrage. I think that prospective TM students should be given a chance to test the waters before they dive in. I trust them enough to make their own decisions, and sane ones, based on being given a *complete* picture of what the TM organization is and is not, and what TM is and is not. The TM defenders here don't feel that way. They want to keep these prospective students in the dark and just get them in the water, so that they'll get the technique *before* they're exposed to any of these things. They think that if that is allowed to happen, these new kids will somehow get used to all the craziness the way they did. I think that people who think this way have been in the boiling water too long.
[FairfieldLife] David Lynch press conferences in Moscow, Kiev
David Lynch press conferences in Moscow, Kiev inspire new wave of publicity for Transcendental Meditation by Global Good News staff writer Global Good News Translate This Article 22 April 2009 Renowned filmmaker David Lynch, whose foundation is raising funds to teach one million at-risk children the Transcendental Meditation Programme, recently gave press conferences in Moscow, Russia and Kiev, Ukraine, which attracted great publicity and support. The level of receptivity and excitement in Moscow and Kiev—for the David Lynch Foundation and the programmes of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi—was almost unprecedented, reported Dr Robert Roth, National Director of Expansion for the Global Country of World Peace in the United States, on 21 April 2009. Immediately following his foundation's benefit concert, 'Change Begins Within', on 4 April 2009 in New York, David Lynch traveled to Moscow for an exhibition of his photography and paintings. 'Dr Lynch is extremely popular and respected in Eastern European countries,' commented Dr Roth, 'and his exhibitions were widely attended.' After the art exhibition, Dr Lynch and Dr Roth spent a week touring and giving press conferences in Moscow and Kiev. Displaying photos of the press conferences, Dr Roth commented on how crowded each of the rooms were with people eager to hear Dr Lynch's message. 'You can see the looks of wonder on all of the young people's faces,' he pointed out. While some young people and students asked about Dr Lynch's filmmaking, the majority of questions concerned his experience with Transcendental Meditation, as well as higher states of consciousness, the connection between TM and the creative process, and the goals of the David Lynch Foundation. In Kiev, David Lynch appeared on the front page of all major newspapers and on many popular television shows in the days following the press conferences. One TV show, reported Dr Roth, during which Dr Lynch answered questions on Transcendental Meditation, was viewed by 50 million people. Dr Lynch drew attention from many celebrities in Ukraine, including one of the country's most famous actresses, who interviewed him on a morning talk show. David Lynch also held a book signing in Ukraine for his book 'Catching the Big Fish', which has been translated into the Russian language. Dr Roth reported that all 300 books at the signing were sold very quickly. 'The response we saw in Moscow and Kiev was another example of collective consciousness rising in the world, as a result of the Maharishi Vedic Pandits in India and the US, as well as the Invincible America Assembly of Yogic Flyers,' noted Dr Roth. 'In all the press conferences we attended in Eastern Europe,' he continued 'there were never any misguided questions or doubts concerning Transcendental Meditation or Maharishi's knowledge.' He went on to report that Global Country of World Peace leaders in Russia and Ukraine are planning for expansion of Consciousness-Based Education and Maharishi's other programmes in their countries, keeping the momentum strong from the recent wave of publicity. © Copyright 2009 Global Good News®

Can anyone possibly take this as a serious news release? 7) rajas ... are immediately available to personally answer all questions related to this beautiful program. Immediately available huh. Talking to 18-22 year old girls has a higher priority than all of the other projects? Imediately available!! No bells?

I spoke to her by phone for a friend who found her on an internet dating site. I advised my friend that it was better that I not talk to this woman again, but as it was in the time of Carnival 2004 and everything closes in Brasil during Carnival, he insisted that I give her a call. I did. When he came to Brasil she was two months pregnant... Today after living together for 4 years I live in a town called Sorocaba where my son lives with his mother, her mother, his uncle, his wife and my son´s sister. The grandmother is a woman in her 60´s illiterate as far as education goes, yet very viscious as life goes. I louis thomas Mckenzie was not trained at MIU, UCSD or COLUMBIA or NYU or New Seminary in how to deal with a person like this. A mother pimp she lived off money given to her from three daughters that she assisted in becoming prostitutes. A woman who with her husband took all of their ten children out of school by the age of 10, or after the 4th grade. In Brasil they use all kinds of natural law manipulatives in order to effect the desired result. In 2007 Maria A was told that if I recieved an investment in my company in Brasil her daughter would go to jail. She was told this by a woman who channels gypsies and other devil spirits and is specialized in doing harm to people for money. They decided to do everything and anything they could to break up my family and make sure that I did not receive my funding. (This is no longer hypothesis it has been verified and is now fact) By the end of 2007 we could not receive any money via western union in our names in Brasil. From 2008 January to June we received a total of 1500 usd, compared to the year before in which we recieved 15000 in the same period. In July of 2008 we had to move to Sorocaba because we lost our apt in Sao Paulo. one week after arriving I was asked to please leave the apt of my mother in law because her daughter who paid her rent did not want me there. I took a hotel room. Since that day the strangeness just got stranger and stranger until today, I am an american with a brazilian born child who is bound by brazilian law which says that no matter how bad the living situation is the child belongs with the mother. The law says that even no matter what if the mother or father does not sign an agreement to allow it is not possible to leave the country with the child. So in order for me to come back to the US and get a job I would have to abandon my child. I have refused to do so. I have had things happen like hotels asking ne to leave after paying 11,000 reais = 5000 usd while trying to arrange a new credit card. The person who was willing to assist me was hit by a truck returning home to send the card info. I had to spend some time sleeping in a plaza. Between the financial crisis and other things my funds have been severly delayed. I am now in a situation where I live in a garage. Share a very small space with a nother guy, I sleep on the floor. Seems I have been unaable to recieve even 10 cents from the US lately. Recently it seems I may be getting closer to breaking this thing with this gypsy but I am still suffering. I know there are some people who do not like it when people write about personal situations but all I can say is that the guy who was on television regarding his 4 year old son I know that story because I am living it.

Kirk, What kind of research do you do to be on top of the restaurant scene in NOLA? Is there local coverage via newspaper columnist, or TV show, or tourist guidebooks? Of course there is coverage but I care little for it. Word of mouth is the main thing. Plus being a cook and having worked so many places I know pretty much what is going on in the city. Fine restaurants in general wont hire me because I cost too much. My resume isn't good enough for me to claim chef at any of them. They demand CIA or equivalent education. And, fine restaurants around here all pay homage to Cajun/Creole food or French and few (or none) really break out and go wild with their concepts. For instance, one can freeze coconut milk and then serve excellent rum on coconut ice cubes. Sometimes simple and obvious things take a really alert chef to make notes and then enact. The chef Chris Debarre is a genius and for once I stand to learn a lot of new cooking ingredients and techniques. All these years you've been a passionate chef yourself -- can there really be ingredients that you can say are new to you? There's always new ingredients. To use Curtis' analogy, one can be a great blues player and yet there will always be new songs and varieties on style which are even more aluring having had some background in the first place. Also, as Curtis said, ethnic cuisines are various and discrete and proper use of ideal ingredients makes all the difference. My background is mostly New Orleans Metro French and Creole. Almost exclusively. So I still have alot to learn. How do you know that Chris has the mojo -- has ya eaten in other places he's been the chef? Actually I haven't but word of mouth from friends of mine say he's cool. And I have met him and started work there so I know him. I am one of his sous-chefs so I am helping to formulate the menu and implement it from scratch. I am even helping remodel the place! All this makes me more integral and feel more important. That's usually the most important aspect of the job for me, that is, to not feel like a mere useless appendage. But his menu is the mojo, and between us we can tweak stuff to be entirely delicious and not merely stuck up and unusual. Seems to me that your intellect is capable of taking up your skills a notch by hanging with another genius, but from my side, as an inventor myself, you surely must be at that stage where you can turn out a new dish every single time you cook, and it'll be as creative and savory as any dish that any chef can create. 98% of the customers surely wouldn't have the chops to say that your menu is less inviting than this chef's menu, so what's your goal? -I can write menus from scratch and they would be unique, but working with even more unique or more worldly chefs still broadens my purview. I can't lose by expanding my range. I can only win. Moreover, I work best as partners with others due to my own lack of motivation. My goal is to be associated with one of the most avant garde chefs in the country. The fact that he isn't known yet means little. I have faith that he will make it to the top and you will all hear about him within a few years, if not immediately. Then I can thumb my nose at all those who derided me. his smarts to hire me equal my smarts in working for him. I'm not sure how but we hit it off from the start and he has been entirely personable to me thus far. I can understand working with another chef, and hoping to secure a stable position of respect there, but as for you as an artist, I can't see you becoming more creative -- only creating more dishes in this chef's cuisine. Are you searching for your inner cuisine -- your artistic style or genre? -No. I have my style, but I am always seeking to broaden my range and become more eclectic and knowledgable. It's an insiders brag to know and use not only fine ingredients but to have a knowledge of and use of unique ingredients. This is about the only chance I have had in the last ten years to work with a fine chef, who isn't myself. Who really has a more extensive palette than me. And, the really important question is, aside from your excitement at the new prospect, and other than your intuitive powers (which are potent if your posts are any indication,) what has you assured that this chef's personality will be harmonious with yours? Isn't that as important as the chef's credentials and skills? ---Yes, well so far he respects me and defers to my
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: New Job
I forgot a few other points. First Green Goddess is the only place in New Orleans that is doing a partially vegetarian menu of new items which are not just trying to imitate meat dishes. I have been wanting to work someplace with a more sattvic plan and this is the only place there is. Also, the chef and the other owner were also punk rockers before in their life. One still plays in a couple punk bands so we have that in common. The fact that the chef's wife is Poppy Z Brite a unique local author means we will have press. I feel that this is the place for me. Oh yeah, I have lived a fairly social life, never eschewing a party or excuse to play around. But after all that I have heard myself talk until I am sick of hearing myself. In the same light, I have been chef about five times and twice getting to write my own menus and I have done prettymuch everything I have felt like doing, so I like to let other people take the reigns and to support them if they are genuinely interesting. This is such a case where I will be interested and the fact that the menu will not be written in stone, the fact that we will be making coctails with coffee bean juice and dragonberry, and cashew juice and so on is really fascinating to me. There's no limit to what we will do. Very few reataurants in the world can claim this. And we are in New Orleans where we do have already a native sense of propriety in cuisine so I am merely inspired. All bullshit aside, if I have to work I like to be cutting edge. I invite you all to step in when you're in town. Naughty or nice.

Hello Bhairatu. The historic mistake of the intellect has been that ample breasts were two fullnesses. Maharishi's Worldwide Movement has now corrected this error through the experiences of millions of enlightened men in this generation and several hundred scientific research studies completed by independent investigators in leading universities. Today, as Heaven on Earth has been achieved due to the rapidly increasing practice of Maharishi's programs throughout the world, enlightened men are experiencing the bliss of unity in ample breasts - ever-deepening waves of fullness at the level of the point value of life as they joyfully play with the ample breasts on the surface level of life. Absolutely. Have you ever seen a painting of a statue of a Hindu goddess who didn't have ample breasts? I rest my case. I have heard, in fact, that the TMO is about to announce a new course, supposedly more effective than the TM-siddhis. The new technique will be called Yogic Motorboating. Do not confuse this Vedic- based technique with the more mundane desc- ription of motorboating: The act of pushing one's face in between two ample breasts and rocking one's head side to side very rapidly while making a vigorous, lip-vibrating 'brrr' sound. Not the same thing at all. Yogic Motorboating is to regular motorboating as the butt-bouncing of Yogic Flying is to...uh...is to... Sorry... I can't really think of any parallel to Yogic Flying in the mundane world...forget I even brought it up. Anyway, the first Yogic Motorboating courses will be offered soon at Maharishi Peace Palaces throughout the world. While the target audience for these courses is of course men -- who are, after all, the only ones who matter in the TM view of spirituality -- exceptions will be made for lesbians and Hillary Clinton supporters, as long as they agree to practice the technique in a different Motorboating Dome than the men.
