[FairfieldLife] Returning To Ananda

2013-12-19 Thread TurquoiseB
One of the problems I see with Fairfield in general plagues this attempt
at a TV pilot -- the belief that there is actually an audience willing
to watch other peoples' narcissism.

The filmmaker is attractive, and earnest, and I wish her the best, but
the idea that people would want to tune in for half an hour to watch the
self-absorption of Fairfielders is...sorry...not quite in the same
ballpark as Laura Dern's "Enlightened."

Richard and Barry know how to set up a macro, and we both know Judy is

don't see ANYONE defending Judy's claim about using a macro in Neo, 
because that would be really stupid to defend a false claim like that.

There's no question that some respondents gang up in order to abuse 
others on FFL. We've been seeing this with Judy and Ann, and to a 
certain extend with poor Emily, who seems to be getting recruited. It's 
very unusual for somebody to be banned from FFL for cursing. And it's 
even more unusual to be admitted back so they can post more curses.


We already know why Judy and Ann want Ravi back - what we don't know is 
why Rick banned Ravi, or not, in the first place. There's more to this 
story than we're being told. I wonder what "enptybill" will be thinking

It looks like we're in for a new round of cursing - in fact it already

[FairfieldLife] TV review: "Rectify"

2013-12-19 Thread TurquoiseB
I have to thank my brother for this one. He mentioned it in his annual
"Best of the Year" email to me about the recent Golden Globe and
International Press Academy nominations. The former did not recognize
either "Orphan Black" or "Rectify" in their noms, but the latter did.

And a good thing IMO. This Sundance Channel series is darker than many
here on FFL would like. It *is*, after all, the story of a man released
from 20 years on death row after DNA evidence raises doubts about his
conviction, and trying to figure out what life in the world is all
about. But the writing, the direction, and above all the acting cause it
to rise up from its pulp fiction roots and *soar* from time to time.

Both Aden Young (as the former convict) and Abigail Spencer (as his
sister) *more* than deserve their nominations from the IPA. It's a shame
that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (Golden Globes) didn't feel
similarly, but they have a habit of going for the mainstream and the
safe in terms of TV.

If you're looking for action in your TV shows, you're not going to find
it here. It's reminiscent of "Under The Dome" in that it's about a small
town being fed on by its own fears and secrets, but it's a far more
subtle series than that Stephen King-based series. This is a small town
in Georgia, not the Midwest, and it ain't no miraculously-appearing-dome
that's got their small town panties in a twist. It's that there is a guy
living among them whom at least half of them are convinced really raped
and murdered one of their own, a teenaged girl, 20 years ago.

This kinda dynamic breeds ugliness, and that ugliness is not defused in
any way by Daniel, the ex-con. Daniel's story is that at age 18 he was
convicted of this crime and sent to prison for the next 20 years. He has
spent more time on death row than he has out in the world. His whole
world for 20 years has consisted of not knowing whether this was his
last day on earth, and finding a way to live with that.

Now he finds himself back in the world, and trying to find a way to live
with THAT. Aden Young is *tremendous* at portraying this. At times
distant, at times more emotionally vulnerable than anyone you've seen
onscreen in years, he just steals the screen. The cinematographers
wisely take advantage of this and allow their cameras to linger on his
face. Ten seconds of watching his face tells more of a story than most
actors can convey in an hour of dialog.

And Abigail Spencer as Amantha. What is not to like about Abigail
Spencer? She is stunningly beautiful, and as equally stunning an actress
as the strong sister who has been Daniel's only real support and
believer through this whole ordeal. Adelaide Clemens is also memorable
as a distant stepsister who never knew Daniel before he went away to
prison, and who now wants only to save his soul for Jesus.

Caveat emptor. This is slow, painstaking,
we-will-tell-no-story-before-its-time storytelling. Some people in our
soundbyte-sized, content-free media universe might not be able to cope
with that well. If you're one of them, no shame, and no problem. But if
you're not, and you demand more of the TV series you give your time to,
you might want to consider giving a few hours to this one.

My first impulse upon finishing the last of the six episodes was to want
to go back and watch the whole series again. That's always a good sign,
IMO. You can let it stand as my one-sentence review of "Rectify."

 In the spirit of showing that ex Stasi adviser we know how its done, and in 
consideration of the fact that if Pussy Riot ever decided to accept male 
members (do with that as you will, I'm taking the high road), he would 
certainty be a strong contender; I humbly petition Rick to grant Ravi a 
Christmas amnesty; assuming Ravi still loves us as much as he obviously used 
to. I for one would appreciate a little entertainment for the holidays, and, if 
nothing else, a reprieve from being bored to death by all these dried up old 
boomer males, who look like they'd have trouble getting noticed in a women's 
yoga class. 
 

 Come on Rick, give us something for Christmas, I, for one, have been good!

Had you said in your original comments, "The Israeli

Hee hee. In the "relevant thread," Feste didn't believe me when I explained to 
him that the period-after-every-word convention was now a standard way to 
indicate emphasis on the Web:
 

 "I don't think you have even remotely established this as 'standard practice.; 
On the contrary, it's an unusual deviation from the norm. I wasn't impressed by 
the link you provided. It was a lot of people asking about the use of periods 
after every word, but not a single example that I could see. Nor have I seen a 
single example of its use by a good writer. Where are these blogs in which it 
is 'standard practice'?"

 

 And I responded:
 

 "No, I didn't suggest that the Google links were to examples. I was responding 
to Richard's claim that it didn't exist, essentially, because he'd never seen 
it. Obviously many people have seen it, but you wouldn't expect to see links to 
examples, for pete's sake. As I said, the next time I come across an example, 
I'll give you a link. But you're still overinterpreting 'standard practice,' as 
I explained and you ignored" [i.e., it isn't "standard" in that it's used any 
time someone wants to indicate emphasis, but rather that it's used often enough 
that most readers have seen it before and don't think it's weird; they 
understand what it's meant to convey].

 

 As I said I would, I've now provided links to four different examples. (Let me 
know if anyone wants to see links to the posts I just quoted.) And now Feste's 
pissed off because he looks like an ass for having been so unpleasantly 
skeptical (along with Richard and Barry).

I'm thrilled with your offer, of course I'll take the bench for Raja Ravi (if 
he comes back), he's like a brother to me---how many Brahmins can you say that 
about (I consider him Krishnamurti with a sense of humour, and a well adjusted 
libido); and, if I understand you correctly, I'm gopsmacked you want me to join 
Share's Usherettes; I've been waiting for this offer since your first post, I'm 
sure I meet the criteria: best days behind me, lonely male boomer bag lady, 
can't stand women who are smarter than me, look good riding to the rescue of a 
woman in peril (even if she is an admitted offline stalker)---as long as she 
does not mind me telling her to STFU and agrees with me that the uppity women 
on FFL (no one could accuse you of being uppity) are not nearly manipulative 
enough.

Share, it took a lot of courage for your to invite me to join the usherettes, 
Barry won't like it one little bit, you know how he hates it when other posters 
feed me; he rightly considers me the BORG, a threat to civilization (and 
science) as he knows it; travelling the universe in search of protein, eating

an episode of FIREFLY---now theres a program that can teach you about the times

Ravi will come after him. I kinda hope he does, because it's always fun to 
watch Ravi take Barry out. But that's up to Ravi; obviously he does his own 
thing, and I doubt he has any intention of staying around anyway.
 
 
 I do have to point out one more time how much POWER Barry accords me. That 
always gives me a huge chuckle. Especially since Barry just got done yesterday 
going on gleefully about how nobody was coming to my defense against Richard 
(as if I needed any when Barry was doing a fine job on his own sinking 
Richard's very leaky boat). Now all of a sudden, in Barry's agitated mind, I'm 
commanding Ravi to attack.
 
 
 Since I've known him, Barry's had this self-destructive urge, setting himself 
up to be hoist with his own petard.

accept that I've seen it often enough in what I read to call it "standard 
practice" in that material (mostly blogs and comments) and to have picked it up 
and used it myself? (And if you could force Barry to be truthful--big IF--I'm

"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson has been suspended indefinitely by the A&E 
Network following his recent comments calling homosexuality sinful. I've not 
seen or heard of this program and his remarks as reported strike me as 
knee-jerk and simplistic. But what annoys me more is the statement released by 
the Network saying: "His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E 
Networks." 

 

 It's a reality TV show for God's sake! No one expects the comments made by 
participants on a reality-TV show to be anything but an expression of the 
individual concerned. Let people say whatever the hell they feel like saying 
and we the viewers can make our own minds up about how sensible or ridiculous 
those opinions are.

[FairfieldLife] Are you a lark or an owl?

2013-12-19 Thread s3raphita
Maharishi advised us to go to bed early and rise with the sun. Didn't he say 
something about angels waiting to escort us to dream land? If you missed their 
deadline you were in for a disturbed night spent tossing and turning. 

 But, out there in the real world, whether you prefer to rise early or instead 
opt to stay up late is an important personality marker. This preference is 
known as your *sleep chronotype*. (And God help couples whose chronotypes are 
opposite!) 
 

 As Maharishi was clearly a "lark" but Seraphita is most assuredly an "owl" 
perhaps MMY's advice needs updating. 
 

 Research has shown that night owls are more likely to demonstrate dark 
personality traits including narcissism and deceitfulness. On a recent thread I 
mentioned some of my favourite movies were classic film noirs like Gilda and 
The Third Man. Judy replied that one of her favourites was the joyous musical 
Oklahoma! I'll wager serious money she's an early riser.

Born in Abilene, Emily, but I was a military brat like Barry, until I 
was 18. Dad  was in the U.S.A.F. , so I'm sort of from everywhere and 
nowhere.


It's always been interesting to me, why people get attached to their 
place of origin. I guess I just don't get it - is it better to be from 
Canada as opposed to Texas? And, why would that be? Or, is it better to 
live in Oklahoma as opposed to Utah?


I've been on four continents, UK and Europe; South Asia, and the Far 
East; and probably lived in twelve states; and driven through at least 
thirty. And, I can tell you from experience there's no perfect place to 
live.


But, Dad still lives here in Texas, so until he's no longer around, it 
looks like I'll have to make myself comfortable here. My son and 
daughter still live out in Sonoma, and we go there almost every year.


From what I've read, San Antonio is one of the most cosmopolitan cities 
in the U.S. Also, I like being able to visit Austin, "The live music 
capitol of the world." They also have the South by Soutwest (SxSW) music 
and film festival there every year. And that's a lot of fun.

Thank you too, John. As for the virgin pregnancies, it would be great to have 
more info: the average age of the women; where they live in US; their religious 
affiliation.

Share,

Thank you very much for the kind greeting.  Six more days til Christmas.  May 
your holiday season be merry and have a happy New Year as well!

Relating to the article, I didn't realize that virgin pregnancies have become a 
fad of sorts in the USA.  Or was it an accident? :)

You think I'm an idiot, Bob - I would never reveal my wife's real name 
in a chat room. Not with a guy like Ravi hanging around here. And, 
there's at least three Whole Foods Market in San Antonio and three in 
Austin and all of them have vitamin sections.


So, all you've proven here is a resemblance to Ravi, the guy that got 
booted. And, I've still got hair, but you failed to post a photo of your 
face - so maybe you don't even have any teeth left. Go figure.


Rick or Alex: are you reading this?

What's going on - was Ravi booted or not and what for? And, if so, 
what's he doing here if he got booted? It's beginning to look like we've 
got a couple of real snoopers on the list.

Thanks, Bob, I like the tone of this post of yours. Hope you and your family

Thanks Share, same to you; did I miss your post about Ann's tree (I thought it 
was lovely)?

I think Ravi adds to the ganging up mentality on FFL. As such, I'm willing for 
him to return. But only if another ganger upper will take his place on the 
bench. Bob?

I'm thrilled with your offer, of course I'll take the bench for Raja Ravi (if 
he comes back), he's like a brother to me---how many Brahmins can you say that 
about (I consider him Krishnamurti with a sense of humour, and a well adjusted 
libido); and, if I understand you correctly, I'm gopsmacked you want me to join 
Share's Usherettes; I've been waiting for this offer since your first post, I'm 
sure I meet the criteria: best days behind me, lonely male boomer bag lady, 
can't stand women who are smarter than me, look good riding to the rescue of a 
woman in peril (even if she is an admitted offline stalker)---as long as she 
does not mind me telling her to STFU and agrees with me that the uppity women 
on FFL (no one could accuse you of being uppity) are not nearly manipulative 
enough.

Share, it took a lot of courage for your to invite me to join the usherettes, 
Barry won't like it one little bit, you know how he hates it when other posters 
feed me; he rightly considers me the BORG, a threat to civilization (and 
science) as he knows it; travelling the universe in search of protein, eating 
debris (and planets) and anything I can vacuum up (goodness, this sounds like 
an episode of FIREFLY---now theres a program that can teach you about the times 
we live in).

"The greatest hazard of all, losing one's self, can occur very quietly in the 
world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any 
other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be 
noticed." - Kierkegaard

Hang on Judy - let me get my boots on. It's getting real deep in here. 
Anybody out there know what Judy is talking about? Yahoo Neo runs on 
HTML5 and Java script. Apparently Neo doesn't even have an HTML editor 
anymore. Go figure.
