[FairfieldLife] Re: they're using the Internet to self-medicate
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, new.morning [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine in Silicon Valley said their telephone survey indicated more than one of every eight US residents showed at least one sign of problematic Internet use. The findings backed those of previous, less rigorous studies, according to Stanford. Most disturbing was the discovery that some people hid their Internet surfing, or went online to cure foul moods in ways that mirrored alcoholics using booze, according to the study's lead author, Elias Aboujaoude. In a sense, they're using the Internet to self-medicate, Aboujaoude said. And obviously something is wrong when people go out of their way to hide their Internet activity. According to preliminary research, the typical Internet addict was a single, college-educated, white male in his 30s, who spends approximately 30 hours a week on non-essential computer use. You mean like FFL? Then I'm guilty...I spend way too much time here and have so many other things to do...

Well, this company called Rosetta Stone, which is by all accounts a wonderful way to learn a language, is offering a 6-month money back guarantee for their courses: http://www.rosettastone.com/en/individuals/store-faqs#return_policy Since the Beckley courses, has anyone ever seen a company offer anything more than a 30 or 90 day money back guarantee? I haven't. I betcha this 6-month thing will come back and bite Rosetta Stone on the ass...just as it did Beckley. Nope. The 6-month guarantee is ONLY for the CD-ROM version. You can't learn a language to the level that their CD-ROM teaches in only 6 months and if y ou decide to go the internet subscription route, you can't get a refund anyway.

They knew exactly what was going to happen and how they were going to play it, as did Colbert (they work these things out beforehand). Some of it was even scripted. Remember that Fonda is an actress and has done quite a bit of comedy, so she focused on that while letting Steinem do most of the talking, which is *her* strength. I thought they both carried it off very well. I detected no humorlessness at all in Steinem. They were both clearly having fun with it while also getting their points across. Colbert, of course, *wanted* them to be able to make their points, and the segment was designed to enable them to do that. But I suspect the whole idea behind it was to show that feminists *do* have a sense of humor, which is exactly what it did. The only thing that didn't quite work was that they were so charming Colbert wasn't able to stay in character. http://tinyurl.com/y84fpb To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

And my mantra definately seems to work better if I pronounce the last letter rather clearly, as it was emphasized during my initiation by Mr J. H. He said something like the last sound resembles beep, after he noticed, I believe, that I repeated that part of my mantra to him somewhat sloppily. So, there seems to be some problems with the mantras when the sounds in them don't appear in a language at all, or in a particular phonotactic position, for instance at the end of a word. An example, sort of, might be the Japanese and Chinese. In my understanding they have a hard time making any difference between the sounds 'r' and 'l'. Another example could be the German word for 'I' (ich), which for instance native speakers of English tend to pronounce like 'ik'hmmm To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

He quit the Daily Show in 1998 and did the Late Late Show on CBS until 2004. I never saw him on the Daily Show, so I have no idea what he did with it. But if he slanted the show to the left as much as Stewart does, he'd have had to tone it way down on the Late Late Show. Stewart is primarily popular with the left, and he's become a huge deal primarily because of the interaction between lefty blogs and the proliferation of online clips. Stewart wasn't that widely known until his famous appearance on CNN's Crossfire, where he blasted the hosts for having shouting matches with the guests rather than actually exploring the issues. Clips from that show went viral, and he began to attract a much larger audience. (And Crossfire was canceled not long after, at least partly due to Stewart's flogging.) I'm not that big a fan of either Stewart or Colbert, actually, although I strongly support what they're doing. They both have flashes of real wit, but most of what they do is too unfocused and burlesque-like for my taste. BTW, Petra and I both think Roger Moore is way smokin' hotter than Sean Connery.

Nabcy Pelosi and Henry Waxman have as or more conservative rating than many republicans. What a hoot! For example, a yes vote for the recent Bush Road to Dictatorship bill was considered by this group as a negative -- because it restricted personal liberty -- a core to conservtive philosophy. Pelosi and all the Dems who voted against it, got a plus in their conservative rating. Those damn liberal Bush republicans who want to restrict personal freedom and individual rights, got a big ding in their consevativeness ratings.

I think I've heard the faint idea -idea only in connection with TM-siddhis Haven't been checked lately? Well, uh, some 25 years ago... And my mantra definately seems to work better if I pronounce the last letter rather clearly, as it was emphasized during my initiation by Mr J. H. He said something like the last sound resembles beep, after he noticed, I believe, that I repeated that part of my mantra to him somewhat sloppily. So, there seems to be some problems with the mantras when the sounds in them don't appear in a language at all, or in a particular phonotactic position, for instance at the end of a word. An example, sort of, might be the Japanese and Chinese. In my understanding they have a hard time making any difference between the sounds 'r' and 'l'. Another example could be the German word for 'I' (ich), which for instance native speakers of English tend to pronounce like 'ik'hmmm Disagree on that. I have heard teachers from all around the world pronounce Maharishis mantras, differently, with their own dialect. Yet they work.

Sort of a continuous looking away. Brilliant(IMHO)!! The continuous looking away is also a continuous looking for a subjective feeling of self that affirms (falsely) that I exist. The mind does this every few seconds in waking state. It's a very subtle egoic habit. You can see this habit in CC because the mind turns to find something to affirm itself and nothing, literally, is found instead. There is no longer a felt-sense of I to affirm individuality. There is, again, literally, nothing there to find but pure consciousness and pure consciousness is something that the mind can not comprehend. I know this was a couple of days ago, but today I found myself wondering whether the same looking away could help to explain those with an Internet addiction. They intuit that they're close to the experience of nothingness, and that scares them, so they post a lot and/or post stuff calculated to get a response (positive or negative doesn't matter, just as long as it's a response), all so that the self can preserve the illusion of itself. As long as the self is busy dealing with one-on- one interactions, the looking away succeeds, the illusion of self's existence is preserved, and the person never has to deal with the nothingness they can feel just over the horizon.

My advice: don't use Outlook Express, use Internet Explorer as little as possible, don't run executables that show up in email, and don't download software from sleazy sites (warez sites, newsgroups, etc.). My thoughts as well. Norton Corporate works OK. Norton home is another story - resource hog. McAffee subtle problems, AVG light resource usage for contrained systems. Scan with MultiAV - trend, sophos, mcafee, kaspersky, symantec when hunting the bad guys. I use Linux for myself. Get tired of all the windows security problems.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Scorpionland slouches toward U.S.
Spot on ! American culture everywhere will have to go back home for the globe to become sane. And it will happen fast. It will be difficult for the americans as their egos will have to be dramatically adjusted, but it will happen. Heaven will walk on earth. Europeans and germans seem mostly to demand, and buy, the lowest aspects of american culture. Not the high value elements. Why is that? Simply low standards and tastes? Speaking only of France, low *cost* and the availability of something that wasn't previously available -- fast food in a place where you can sit down to eat it. Most other French fast-food outlets (crepes, felafels, etc.) were in the past of the order-it-from-a-counter-and-take-it-away variety, something that really didn't appeal to the French mentality. And it's taking its toll on the French, too. The main clientele of American fast-food chains are the youth, and they are starting to show alarming signs of obesity. If you want a shock, walk in Paris and notice the general slimness of the population, and then walk into a KFC or Burger King franchise franchise and notice all the fatties.

Your being the 4th most prodigious poster on FFL over the past months, its great that you are taking steps to understand what may be driving this. Even when you are scared by the approaching nothingness. Also poignant is facing up to your internal sadness and chagrin when, most of the time, no one replies to your posts. That again shows courage to face up to it. I thought I would send a friendly gesture of support by reponding to something you wrote -- since most people don't care to. And of course, what you say not only applies to you, but all of us. Good concepts to consider -- as many of us seem to get into FFL jags of posts at times. And I applaud your optimism.

The only TV I watch is clips online and shows on Fox 15, the only channel we get. I'd never even heard of Craig Kilborn until I read the above paragraph, but I'm a *huge* fan of Jon Stewart because of his tremendous popularity online. So, I'm sitting here thinking, If Craig Kilborn is so great, why haven't I heard of him? He was the original host of the Daily Show. Ran into some problems with Comedy Central once (indeed, they suspended him for a week once) and then got hired by David Letterman's company to do the Late, Late Show that comes on after him. But he was let go from that a year or so ago and was replaced by the Scotsman Craig Ferguson, I think his name is. I find Craig Kilborn better than Letterman, Leno and the untalented idiot Conan combined. BTW, Petra and I both think Roger Moore is way smokin' hotter than Sean Connery.

For that matter, could *all* forms of addiction be a way to preserve the illusion of self, and keep selflessness at bay? It's certainly been fascinating for me to see the number of *former* seekers and practitioners of meditation who, soon after abandoning their path, get into some form of heavy addiction, whether it be smoking ciga- rettes or smoking dope or drinking. Some of it is a I denied myself all these things for years and so now I have the right to indulge thang, but on another level it might be related to a subconscious desire to keep enlightenment away. Another form of addiciton that lends itself to this interpretation is the anti-cult cult. In my experience, *most* of the leaders of this anti- movement movement, when they tell their personal stories, come to a pivotal moment for them that goes something like this: In meditation I got to a point where I lost all sense of who I was. This scared me so much that I never wanted that to happen again, so I quit meditating, and now I work to warn others that they might get to a similar place. What if the work they do as an anti-cult counselor is their way of not only avoiding full transcendence/loss of self, but a way to prevent others from going further than they dared to go? Just thoughts on a rainy afternoon. Not trying to sell them to anyone...

These are some of the complaints against Paul McCartney by his wife Heather in their divorce proceedings. It is from http://tinyurl.com/y86hbl. I'm producing them because, certainly, the allegations having to do with abuse are always serious...but, come on, some of the others are just so silly that if that's the worst she can come up with, the guy must be a saint...I'm thinking particularly of the horrible bedpan and breasts complaints: -Subjected her to four violent attacks, including one in which he stabbed her in the arm with a broken wine glass. -Continued to use illegal drugs and drink excessively, despite promises made before they married. -Hurled abuse at his wife, calling her an 'ungrateful bitch'. -Tried to prevent her breastfeeding, saying: 'They are my breasts.' Made her cancel a crucial operation because it interfered with his holiday plans. -Objected 'vociferously' when she asked to buy an antique bedpan to save her crawling to the toilet at night.

I guess I should get that new service that lets you record all sorts of things digitally so I don't have to stay in the dark ages. And of course you'll get to skip the commercials!

The mind does this every few seconds in waking state. It's a very subtle egoic habit. You can see this habit in CC because the mind turns to find something to affirm itself and nothing, literally, is found instead. There is no longer a felt-sense of I to affirm individuality. There is, again, literally, nothing there to find but pure consciousness and pure consciousness is something that the mind can not comprehend. I know this was a couple of days ago, but today I found myself wondering whether the same looking away could help to explain those with an Internet addiction. They intuit that they're close to the experience of nothingness, and that scares them, so they post a lot and/or post stuff calculated to get a response (positive or negative doesn't matter, just as long as it's a response), all so that the self can preserve the illusion of itself.

My thoughts as well. Norton Corporate works OK. Norton home is another story - resource hog. McAffee subtle problems, AVG light resource usage for contrained systems.

With Paul's almost unparalleled experience in the world of women before marrying his first wife, and with the model of his loving partner Linda setting the bar so high, he really had no excuse for getting involved with this chick. In their first interviews I knew he was F'ed. In the middle of the first date with Heather, he would have had all the information he needed to see that she would make his life hell. I'm sure living with his ego is no picnic, he was raised to be a God, but he should have known what type of chick would put up with him.

[FairfieldLife] Interesting paragraph from Donovan's book
One day Patti (Boyd Harrison) asked the Maharishi if she and the other women could go down to the town. He giggled and replied that it was impossible. Patti insisted that she and the girls were adamant. He said No. When pressured for the reason why the girls could not visit the vicinity of the Ganges that day, Maharishi gave in and explained, If you walk today by the caves of the swamis in your miniskirts you will become a great temptation. Today, he explained, the swamis who have been meditating for many years in their caves will be coming out, and I cannot be responsible for their actions. Giggles followed his explanation. So much for self-control, I thought. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!

It wasn't anything subtle. In early interviews she made big point of how little she was impressed by Paul's career. She indicated that there was a power struggle that she was determined to win going on between them. I always hate it when a member of a couple cuts down their spouse in front of other people.

Interesting you say that because I thought I picked up on something in an interview with the two of them from a year or so ago (see how hindsight is 20/20?)...but this was a sign from Paul's side. They were being interviewed in their kitchen and Paul made a teasing but cutting remark about Heather to the interviewer in front of Heather. I thought I noticed Heather visibly wincing. You know what they say about teasing: that's it's a form of agression. So something was probably going on between them.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Oops! Rosetta Stone repeats Ed Beckley's mistake!
For Hindi I found the DK book (which is available with a tape or CD too) very well done. This will take you a level above just simple traveler's Hindi. Whoever wrote it was brilliant and did a very practical job. It was so good I order the DK Spanish book but found it was not so well done. So it depends on who they get to author the books. I have another series on Hindi which will take one much deeper to full fluency. I just have to kick myself in the butt to get going on it. For Sanskrit I bought Vyas Houston's complete course which was around $200 but also very well done. And also very heavy about chapter 6 and beyond and you do not necessarily need to go so deep just to translate sutras. curtisdeltablues wrote: I have used their cheap into sets for a few different languages just to know some basics for the people I interact with from other countries. This system really is fun and it seems natural. I don't have any reason to go deeply into a language, but this is the system I would use if I did. I was amazed how quickly I was able to absorb the basics of the languages I was trying, Thai, Vietnamese and Russian. It is amazing how few words you need to accomplish basic communications.

Well, this company called Rosetta Stone, which is by all accounts a wonderful way to learn a language, is offering a 6-month money back guarantee for their courses: http://www.rosettastone.com/en/individuals/store-faqs#return_policy Since the Beckley courses, has anyone ever seen a company offer anything more than a 30 or 90 day money back guarantee? I haven't. I betcha this 6-month thing will come back and bite Rosetta Stone on the ass...just as it did Beckley. Nope. The 6-month guarantee is ONLY for the CD-ROM version.

[FairfieldLife] MUM video gamers
Regarding the pacifist first-person shooter I designed in 2000-2001 to teach Hindu principles of non-violence using the Unreal Engine, you may justly feel skeptical. This Hindu non-shooter was conceived and produced entirely by - nobody ever believes this part - recent graduates of the Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. Yes, really. In early 2000, a gaggle of upscale white American 20-somethings with fresh MUM animation and graphics degrees thought it would be fun to create a computer game based on Hindu teachings. Funded by the young heir to a chain of furniture stores, who scraped by on a parental allowance of half a million dollars a year, they licensed Epic Games' hotly anticipated Unreal Warfare engine - six months' allowance right there - and set to work.

[FairfieldLife] I heard it tastes like chicken...
Man dismembers girlfriend in Quarter; cooks body parts By Walt Philbin Staff Writer A suicide note in the pocket of a man who jumped off the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel late Tuesday led police to the grisly scene of his girlfriend's murder, where they found her charred head in a pot on the stove, her legs and feet baked in the oven and the rest of her dismembered body in trash bag in the refrigerator, according to police and the couple's landlord. The man, Zackery Bowen, a tall man in his mid 20s with long blond hair, claimed in the note to have killed his girlfriend, Adrian Addie Hall, on Oct. 5, according to police. Hall was also in her mid 20s. In the five-page note, Bowen claimed he strangled Hall in the bathtub, then dismembered her body before taking it in pieces to the kitchen, police said. An autopsy conducted today shows that Hall was in fact manually strangled, police said. It also appears that Hall's body was cut up after she died, police said. He appeared to clean up the bathroom a lot after he did it, one officer said. Police found the victim's head burned beyond recognition in a pot on top of the stove, and her legs and feet in the same condition in pans inside the oven, police said. Bowen was from Los Angeles, but apparently had lived in the New Orleans area for quite a while, police said. Friends said he served in the military in Iraq and Afghanistan and displayed both pride and bitterness over that experience. Detectives said they were compiling a detailed profile of Bowen to submit as soon as possible to the FBI's VICAP (Violent Criminal Apprehension Program) center. VICAP is a nationwide data information center designed to collect acts of violence that might be serial in nature and recognized by other jurisdictions with access to VICAP as similar to a crime that they investigated. Shortly after Oct. 1, the couple had rented an apartment together at 826 N. Rampart Street above a voodoo shop, said their landlord, Leo Watermeier, who recently ran a campaign for mayor. The couple seemed happy at first, he said, though that would soon break down. He may have in retrospect seemed a little troubled, Watermeier said in an interview early Wednesday morning, shortly after he led investigators to the gruesome scene inside the apartment. Last Sunday, several days after he claimed in his suicide note to have killed her, Bowen appeared all jolly, talking about the trip he was going to take, said Lisa Perilloux, a regular at Buffa's bar, where Bowen worked a weekly bartending gig. Bowen had told several co-workers and friends there he planned to take a much-needed vacation to Cozumel or some other island resort, said Donovan Kalabaza, a fellow bartender and friend. Just think, tomorrow night, you'll be in paradise, Kalabaza recalled telling him. Sunday afternoon, Bowen came in briefly in the afternoon, drinking with two other guys. He was a great mood, best mood I've ever seen him in. Bowen jumped to his death two nights later. Though they appeared happy when they rented the Rampart Street apartment telling Watermeier they had fallen in love on the night Hurricane Katrina struck and Hall gave Bowen shelter they soon had a bitter falling out, Watermeier said. After the storm, the couple lived a vagabond existence in the shattered city, becoming feature fodder for the swarm of national media eager to profile post-flood diehards. But on Oct. 5, during a dispute over which of their names would appear on the lease, Hall told Watermeier she intended to kick Bowen out of the apartment, after finding out that he had cheated on her, Watermeier said. Bowen did not take the news well, Watermeier said. He said, `Did you just let her sign a lease alone? Because I'm screwed. I'm totally messed up now. She's trying to kick me out of our apartment, Watermeier said. Hall admitted she was trying to throw Bowen out, he said. I caught him cheating on me, and I am kicking him out of this apartment, she told Watermeier. Watermeier told the couple to work through their differences and get back to him. He never saw Hall again, and assumed they'd worked it out. Police came to Watermeier's door about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, shortly after Bowen committed suicide, asking if he knew a tall man with long blonde hair, and if he had a connection with the apartment at 826 N. Rampart St. He took them to the apartment, he said, where they warned him he might not want to enter. Investigators told Watermeier what they found, however: charred body parts strewn about the kitchen. Hall was also not from New Orleans, Watermeier said, but both she and Bowen seemed hard core about the city and proud that they had stayed here through Katrina. Bowen's suicide was first discovered Tuesday when his body was spotted below by someone in an upper floor lounge. It was soon determined that Bowen had jumped from an outside terrace near a swimming
