[FairfieldLife] A film school in your living room

[turquoiseb]

I've seen this series before, but not like this, offered in conjunction
with
119 of the classic films discussed. If you get TCM (which actually
broad-
casts not only in the US but in the UK and Ireland as well), this might
be worth watching and/or recording:

[FairfieldLife] #5# OUR ENGINE DRIVER

[Paulo Barbosa]

TO REFLECT...

OUR ENGINE DRIVER

"He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take 
refuge" (Psalm 91:4)

During the French Revolution, a train transporting mail bags needed to arrive 
at its destination, across 60 miles of sinuous roads, in one hour. The engine 
driver was responsible for the mail bags and his wife and daughter were on the 
train. He needed

to go as fast as possible and when he crossed a bridge over a great lake, it 
seemed as though the train would be derailed as it leaped in the air. The few 
people who were on the train were terrified and some even held their breath 
because of the fear
that gripped them. In the midst of all this apprehension there was someone who 
played and amused herself without any preocupation. When she was asked why she 
was not afraid, the little girl laughed and answered: "Because my father is the 
engine
driver!"
A little later, the train conductor entered the wagon to his wife's joy. While 
he wiped the sweat from his face, his daughter jumped into his arms and laid 
her head against his chest, with the same tranquility that she had when at 
home.  What a
wonder
lesson for the children of our Heavenly Father!

How many times have we been terrified by the shaking of the train of our lives 
as we cross the sinuous roads of daily difficulties. It seems as though we 
cannot reach our objectives and that we are about to derail! Is it a job we 
have lost, or a
failed
entrance exam, or just some misunderstanding that insists on happening in our 
homes?

However, if we have placed our lives before God, and we have believed that our 
Father conducts all things according to His will, we have nothing to fear, and 
even though everything seems to be contrary, surely He will lead us safely to 
the station of
victory!

If Jesus is the "Engine Driver" of your life, smile and sing, because He will 
always take care of you!

Thank you, Seraphita for supplying the specific context of the dance. Adds a 
layer of poignancy to the scene. One of my favorite tantric teachers, David 
Deida spoke about the karma the puritanical Brits incurred by their repression 
of all that was natural and healthy in the Indian culture.

We have a traditionally trained Kathak performer in Fairfield, Wendy Stegall. 
She also leads a troupe of Bollywood dancers who perform at various events. I 
LOVE the colorful, graceful costumes!

It's traditional Kathak dancing. Saswati Sen is the dancer. She was trained in 
that Indian classical dance form, which is still performed in India today. The 
director wanted an authentic scene that would have matched the historical 
period in Lucknow - and wow did she deliver the goods. 

By the way, the worried glances of the emissary in that clip are because he had 
just learned that the (puritanical) British were about to annex the 
principality and bring that colourful, long-established culture to a close.

Maybe so, but according to the Russians the chemical weapons
came from Iraq, just like I suspected. The WMD were already
used in Syria in March in the city of Allepo. So, how would Saudi 
Arabia give chemical weapons to the Syrian rebels?  

"Three simple numbers will prove whether sarin was used to 
gas Syrians last month: 99-125-81."

Just for fun (and suspecting that Xeno will like it), here is the same
rap,
run through Microsoft Word's "Autosummarize" feature, set to summarize
the selected text in 100 words or less:

Y'know, this is about the improvement in message quality following
removal of posting limits. Wow the freedom to be *DEEP* and probing the
deep psyche of whatever. Enlightenment, what a cool subject. That
requires attention. In-tent, kinda like being in a large canvas bag, but
with a door. For example MacDonalds' fries contain natural beef extract,
whereas others' lack that naturalness so they taste sort of fake by
comparison, lacking you might say, or not. Brewster is a lot closer to
Syria you know, than that city in the middle of the corn belt.

And here it is translatated into Ebonics:

Y'know, dis be about da improvement in message quality followin removal 
of postin limits. I think about dis A LOT!. Wow da freedom ta be *DEEP* 
and probin da deep psyche of whatever. Enlightenment, what a cool

how all this is, like, connected?. At da moment I be starin at muh

enlightenment? And what about dat yagya, savin da world through da 
power of dat thin we gots somewheea in our heads - CONSCIOUSNESS, datis

homies who do not meditate, cus they desperately need ta see how da 
power of consciousness be fulfellin muh life!! And why do people do da 
thins they do? Boy be dat a muhstery, unless ya consider INTENT. 
In-tent, kinda like bein in a large canvas bag, but wit a door. You come

Doc, what I think is fascinating is that when you speak of acting a certain 
way, if I understand correctly, both thoughts and emotions fall into the 
category of action. So in this sense, enlightenment can't be judged by thoughts

[FairfieldLife] Which Internet Company has NOT given the US Gov its records?

[emptybill]

WHICH   INTERNET COMPANY HASN'T GIVEN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ITS RECORDS?

June 10, 2013

NEW YORK: Outraged Internet users searching for an alternative to the  
privacy-busting companies they'd trusted are turning to a company that  
provides what it calls, "the world's most private search engines."

StartPage and its sister search engine Ixquick   were launched in 2006
to staunchly defend their users' privacy and civil   liberties.
StartPage provides a private portal to Google results, while   Ixquick
provides private results from other search engines.

The services have not participated in PRISM, nor have they ever  
provided user data to the U.S. government or to any other government or
agency in the U.S. or anywhere in the world.

That is more than nine of the biggest Internet companies -- Apple,  
Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, YouTube, PalTalk, AOL and Skype --
can   say.

"The Privacy of our users rests on three important   foundations,"
explains StartPage and Ixquick CEO Robert Beens. "We   are based in the
Netherlands, we use encrypted connections, and -- most   importantly --
we don't store or share any of our users' personal search   data."

* No User Data Stored: StartPage and Ixquick never store user data,
including IP addresses and search queries, so government agencies have
no incentive to ask for these. This privacy is so complete; the company
doesn't even know who its customers are, so it can't share anything with
Big Brother.



* Encrypted (HTTPS) Connections: StartPage and Ixquick were the first
searchengines to use automatic encryption on all connections to
preventsnooping. When searches are encrypted, third parties like
ISPs and theNSA can't eavesdrop on Internet connections to see
what people aresearching for.



* Not Under U.S. Jurisdiction: StartPage and Ixquick are based in the
Netherlands, so they are not directly subject to U.S. regulations,
warrants, or court orders. They can't be forced to participate in spying
programs like PRISM. The company has never turned over a single bit of
user data to any government entity in the 14 years it has been in   
business, which is not surprising since there is no data in the first
place.

StartPage and Ixquick are also the only search engines whose privacy  
practices have been independently verified and third-party certified
  through
the European   Union's Privacy Seal program.

"Unfortunately, it takes a scandal like PRISM to wake people up   to the
erosion of privacy", says Harvard-trained privacy expert Dr.   Katherine
Albrecht, who helped develop StartPage. "As people get fed up   with
being spied on, they look for alternatives. We already serve nearly 3  
million private searches each day, and we expect that number to grow as
people   seek shelter from search engines that store and share their
private   information."

The company will expand its privacy services this summer with the  
addition of a new private email product called StartMail
 .   StartMail will offer a paid, private
email platform with strong encryption.   Anyone interested in beta
testing the program on its release can sign up at www.StartMail.com

Almost everyone on the planet is opposed to the

And, almost everyone on the planet wants to to help
the Syrian refugees.

With 100,000 dead already, there will probably be a
million more refugees trying to get into Iran, Jordan,

The WMD could be old chemicals reconstituted in Iraq and smuggled into
Syria by the rebels. If the similar attack was carried out by the rebels
in
Aleppo, then the 'red line' was crossed several months ago. Go figure.

It probably wouldn't benefit Assad to have his fixed security locations
bombed by the U.S. because of a single chemical attack, so there's some
doubt if Assad sent in the missiles with the poison gas.

was carried out by Syrian rebels, not forces loyal to President Bashar
Assad, and it has delivered a 100-page report laying out its evidence to

the 14 years it has been in business, which is not surprising
since there is no data in the first place.

StartPage and Ixquick are also the only search engines whose privacy 
practices have been independently verified and third-party certified 
 
through the European Union's Privacy Seal program.


"Unfortunately, it takes a scandal like PRISM to wake people up to the 
erosion of privacy", says Harvard-trained privacy expert Dr. Katherine 
Albrecht, who helped develop StartPage. "As people get fed up with 
being spied on, they look for alternatives. We already serve nearly 3 
million private searches each day, and we expect that number to grow 
as people seek shelter from search engines that store and share their 
private information."


The company will expand its privacy services this summer with the 
addition of a new private email product called StartMail 
. StartMail will offer a paid, private 
email platform with strong encryption. Anyone interested in beta 
testing the program on its release can sign up at www.StartMail.com

Thank you, Seraphita for supplying the specific context of the dance. Adds a

Deida spoke about the karma the puritanical Brits incurred by their repression 
of all that was natural and healthy in the Indian culture.

It's traditional Kathak dancing. Saswati Sen is the dancer. She was trained in 
that Indian classical dance form, which is still performed in India today. The 
director wanted an authentic scene that would have matched the historical 
period in Lucknow - and wow did she deliver the goods. 

By the way, the worried glances of the emissary in that clip are because he had 
just learned that the (puritanical) British were about to annex the 
principality and bring that colourful, long-established culture to a close.

I would think it is more than a "hassle".

Scooping up and storing the data is just
one step. Supercomputing is not cheap
and breaking good encryption costs time
which is a commodity in itself when taping
into the Octodecillion bits streaming each
minute on a major trunk.

The real question currently seems to be -
"What is extremely good encryption?" and
"Can it be created for commercial use?"

I am not so sure the Brits are that Puritanical actually. The Victorian era 
Brits of a certain class might have pretended they were. I think the British 
are some of the most charmingly twisted people around - sexually and otherwise.

I have been thinking about this, not really in the context of GC, which I don't

of the crown chakra, the Sahasradala. Speaking from that experience, having had 
this in a fairly clear and consistent way, I don't *believe* one could be a 
full-fledged atheist. Dawkins couldn't stay Dawkins with this experience. 


Now, I say *full-fledged* atheist, because it depends of course on your 
definition of the terms 'theist' and 'atheist'. I don't mean with that, that 
you have to believe in a very personalized concept of a creator God, or even 
any personal God, but you definitely experience a totally different dimension 
of Being, so I don't think you could deny a very clear and concrete sense of an 
Absolute, however inexpressible this may be. You could maybe be a Buddhist 
atheist, if that's how you would call it, but not in a sense, how Curtis or 
even Dawkins define it. 

That's just my 2 cents.

Ann, they were puritanical but more importantly, in this karmic context, they 
attempted to force their puritanical beliefs, etc. on the people of India. Any 
use of force I think carries greater karmic impact: what goes around, comes 
around. I'm sure all conquerors attempt to squash the culture of those they 
conquer so the Brits are not the only ones guilty of this.

But what comes first? Are they puritanical and then squelch the natural and 
healthy sexual natures of the people of India (!) and then become subject to 
the karma of having done that by becoming subject to "a puritanical, unhealthy 
attitude towards sexuality"? This sounds like an endless loop. Help, I'm 
confused.

And 1,180 miles of roads, at that?

Was she looking for the golden domes of Fairfield, hoping to hatch them?

We don't have the future, because it isn't here yet; the 
present is gone in less than a second; so, all we really 
have is the past. The past is the new now.
