[FairfieldLife] Point / Counterpoint
Point: Donovan gets recognized with an award from the French for his body of work. Counterpoint: The French have long been known for their inability to notice that the people they are giving awards to look a lot like the zombie of an Elizabethan fop. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7836659.stm Point: He mentions TM and David Lynch in the article. Counterpoint: When the image of TM meditators being presented to the world is personified by Donovan looking like he does in these photos and by David Lynch, my bet is that initiations are not exactly going to soar as a result.

what I want to know is if Donovan actually continued practising TM all those years or even a significant proportion of them. He was certainly very quiet about it if he did. I kept a very close eye on his career and have no recollection of him speaking up for TM during his 'Well Known Hasbeen' years. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB no_re...@... wrote: Point: Donovan gets recognized with an award from the French for his body of work.

[FairfieldLife] Summit on Integrative Medicine - Opinion, Wall Street Journal
Wall Street Journal January 09, 2009 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123146318996466585.html OPINION 'Alternative' Medicine Is Mainstream The evidence is mounting that diet and lifestyle are the best cures for our worst afflictions. By DEEPAK CHOPRA , DEAN ORNISH , RUSTUM ROY and ANDREW WEIL In mid-February, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences [http://www.iom.edu/integrativemedicinewww.iom.edu/integrativemedicine] and the Bravewell Collaborative [http://www.bravewell.orgwww.bravewell.org] are convening a Summit on Integrative Medicine and the Health of the Public. This is a watershed in the evolution of integrative medicine, a holistic approach to health care that uses the best of conventional and alternative therapies such as meditation, yoga, acupuncture and herbal remedies. Many of these therapies are now scientifically documented to be not only medically effective but also cost effective. President-elect Barack Obama and former Sen. Tom Daschle (the nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services) understand that if we want to make affordable health care available to the 45 million Americans who do not have health insurance, then we need to address the fundamental causes of health and illness, and provide incentives for healthy ways of living rather than reimbursing only drugs and surgery. Heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, breast cancer and obesity account for 75% of health-care costs, and yet these are largely preventable and even reversible by changing diet and lifestyle. As Mr. Obama states in his health plan, unveiled during his campaign: This nation is facing a true epidemic of chronic disease. An increasing number of Americans are suffering and dying needlessly from diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and HIV/AIDS, all of which can be delayed in onset if not prevented entirely. The latest scientific studies show that our bodies have a remarkable capacity to begin healing, and much more quickly than we had once realized, if we address the lifestyle factors that often cause these chronic diseases. These studies show that integrative medicine can make a powerful difference in our health and well-being, how quickly these changes may occur, and how dynamic these mechanisms can be. Many people tend to think of breakthroughs in medicine as a new drug, laser or high-tech surgical procedure. They often have a hard time believing that the simple choices that we make in our lifestyle -- what we eat, how we respond to stress, whether or not we smoke cigarettes, how much exercise we get, and the quality of our relationships and social support -- can be as powerful as drugs and surgery. But they often are. And in many instances, they're even more powerful. These studies often used high-tech, state-of-the-art measures to prove the power of simple, low-tech, and low-cost interventions. Integrative medicine approaches such as plant-based diets, yoga, meditation and psychosocial support may stop or even reverse the progression of coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, prostate cancer, obesity, hypercholesterolemia and other chronic conditions. A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that these approaches may even change gene expression in hundreds of genes in only a few months. Genes associated with cancer, heart disease and inflammation were downregulated or turned off whereas protective genes were upregulated or turned on. A study published in The Lancet Oncology reported that these changes increase telomerase, the enzyme that lengthens telomeres, the ends of our chromosomes that control how long we live. Even drugs have not been shown to do this. Our health-care system is primarily a disease-care system. Last year, $2.1 trillion was spent in the U.S. on medical care, or 16.5% of the gross national product. Of these trillions, 95 cents of every dollar was spent to treat disease after it had already occurred. At least 75% of these costs were spent on treating chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, that are preventable or even reversible. The choices are especially clear in cardiology. In 2006, for example, according to data provided by the American Heart Association, 1.3 million coronary angioplasty procedures were performed at an average cost of $48,399 each, or more than $60 billion; and 448,000 coronary bypass operations were performed at a cost of $99,743 each, or more than $44 billion. In other words, Americans spent more than $100 billion in 2006 for these two procedures alone. Despite these costs, a randomized controlled trial published in April 2007 in The New England Journal of Medicine found that angioplasties and stents do not prolong life or even prevent heart attacks in stable patients (i.e., 95% of those who receive them). Coronary bypass surgery prolongs life in less than 3% of patients who receive it. So, Medicare and other insurers and individuals

You can reside in amness like getting a sun tan in Rio, but when you fly back to the states, the silence you basked in becomes but a bitter memory of an unrequited love affair. Why? Because standing still is not the same as being still. Balance on one foot for a while and see if all the stillness isn't tiring you out. It's like taking a drug to get a mystical experience -- yeah, it's sorta valid, but it's not whatcher lookin' fer. Ya wants the stillness that EFFORTLESSLY does not end. Residing in amness is very quiet, but all that white canvas beckons to the soul to create. Amness, the tabla rasa, is the perfectly white wall with a sign on it that says, Don't touch, wet paint. Who can resist? Only that which is beyond space can resist such a temptation. Old man Vishwamitra -- ask him about virgin spaces longing for a packing with his excelsior. Ask him the cost of that piece of ass. Addiction to the bliss of amness only results in more powerful temptations to lure you to exercise the potential of that tapas.

Cool article on etymology, definitions courtesy of the American Heritage Dictionary: http://www.cracked.com/article_16967_8-racist-words-you-use-every-day.html The words and phrases in question are: * hooligan * vandal * hip hip hooray! * barbarian * bugger * cannibal * gyp * picnic More related Word Fun links: 8 Everyday Words With X-Rated Origins http://www.cracked.com/article_16539_8-everyday-words-with-x-rated-origins.html * hysteria * orchid * seminar * venus flytrap * avocado * mastodon * manatee * fundamental 9 Words That Don't Mean What You Think http://www.cracked.com/article_15664_9-words-that-dont-mean-what-you-think.html * irregardless * peruse * ironic * pristine * nonplussed * bemused * enormity * plethora * deceptively And finally, now that you're completely confused, here is an invaluable and completely factual QA from Mister Language Person (Dave Barry) to clear everything up and make it all right again: Q. When should I say ``phenomena,'' and when should I say ``phenomenon?'' A. ``Phenomena'' is what grammarians refer to as a ``subcutaneous invective,'' which is a word used to describe skin disorders, as in ``Bob has a weird phenomena on his neck shaped like Ted Koppel.'' Whereas ``phenomenon'' is used to describe a backup singer in the 1957 musical group ``Duane Furlong and the Phenomenons.'' Q. What was their big hit? A. ``You Are the Carburetor of My Heart.'' TODAY'S BUSINESS WRITING TIP: In writing proposals to prospective clients, be sure to clearly state the benefits they will receive: WRONG: ``I sincerely believe that it is to your advantage to accept this proposal.'' RIGHT: ``I have photographs of you naked with a squirrel.'' Q. OK, sorry. Anyway, I have just returned from a trip to England, and I noticed that the English put an extra ``u'' in certain words, such as ``rumour,'' ``humour'' and ``The Roulling Stounes.'' Also they call some things by totally different names, such as ``lift'' when they mean ``elevator,'' ``bonnet'' when they mean ``lorry'' and ``twit'' when they mean ``former Vice President Quayle.'' My question is, don't they have any dentists over there? A. Apparently nout. Q. Please explain the correct usage of the word ``neither.'' A. Grammatically, ``neither'' is used to begin sentences with compound subjects that are closely related and wear at least a size 24, as in: ``Neither Esther nor Bernice have passed up many Ding Dongs, if you catch my drift.'' It may also be used at the end of a carnivorous injunction, as in: ``And don't touch them weasels, neither.'' Q. My husband and I recently received a note containing this sentence: ``Give us the money, or you seen the last of you're child.'' I say that the correct wording should be ``you have done seen the last of you're child,'' but my husband, Warren, insists it should be ``you have been done seeing the last of you're child.'' This has become a real bone of contention, to the point where Warren refuses to come out of the utility shed. What do you think? A. We think that an excellent name for a band would be: ``The Bones of Contention.''
[FairfieldLife] It's time to pray for global warming
It's time to pray for global warming, says Flint Journal columnist John Tomlinson by John Foren | Flint Journal Editor Monday January 19, 2009, 4:20 AM Flint Journal's John Tomlinson mailto:jtomlin...@flintjournal.com Read more by him http://www.mlive.com/flintjournal/voices/index.ssf/john_tomlinson/ If you're wondering why North America is starting to resemble nuclear winter, then you missed the news. At December's U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world's top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? I asked myself, why would such obviously smart guy say such a ridiculous thing? But it turns out he's right. The earth's temperature peaked in 1998. It's been falling ever since; it dropped dramatically in 2007 and got worse in 2008, when temperatures touched 1980 levels. Meanwhile, the University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center released conclusive satellite photos showing that Arctic ice is back to 1979 levels. What's more, measurements of Antarctic ice now show that its accumulation is up 5 percent since 1980. In other words, during what was supposed to be massive global warming, the biggest chunks of ice on earth grew larger. Just as an aside, do you remember when the hole in the ozone layer was going to melt Antarctica? But don't worry, we're safe now, that was the nineties. Dr. Kunihiko, Chancellor of Japan's Institute of Science and Technology said this: CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or the other ... every scientist knows this, but it doesn't pay to say so. Now why would a learned man say such a crazy thing? This is where the looney left gets lost. Their mantra is atmospheric CO2 levels are escalating and this is unquestionably causing earth's temperature rise. But ask yourself -- if global temperatures are experiencing the biggest sustained drop in decades, while CO2 levels continue to rise -- how can it be true? Ironically, in spite of being shown false, we must now pray for it. Because a massive study, just released by the Russian Government, contains overwhelming evidence that earth is on the verge of another Ice Age. Based on core samples from Russia's Vostok Station in Antarctica, we now know earth's atmosphere and temperature for the last 420,000 years. This evidence suggests that the 12,000 years of warmth we call the Holocene period is over. Apparently, we're headed into an ice age of about 100,000 years -- give or take. As for CO2 levels, core samples show conclusively they follow the earth's temperature rise, not lead it. It turns out CO2 fluctuations follow the change in sea temperature. As water temperatures rise, oceans release additional dissolved CO2 -- like opening a warm brewsky. To think, early last year, liberals suggested we spend 45 trillion dollars and give up five million jobs to fix global warming. But there is good news: now that we don't have to spend any of that money, we can give it all to the banks. John Tomlinson is a local conservative columnist for The Flint Journal.

[FairfieldLife] The story of Arjuna.
The historic narrative of Arjuna as described by MMY in his Bhagavad Gita clearly misses the point of the symbolic nature of the story. The Story of the BG is only loosely based on an historic event, secondary to the actual allegory Vyasa meant it to contain. If you haven't read an 'esoteric' reading of the book (or have only read MMY's) you have clearly missed the import of Vyasa classical masterpiece!! After having read MMY's BG several times I almost didn't pick up this book: http://www.amazon.com/God-Talks-Arjuna-Bhagavad-Gita/dp/0876120303 After having read this translation, I was flabbergasted at what an incredible contrast there was between the two and how much more meaningful, logical and inspiring was Swami Yogananda's. In all fairness to MMY he did say his translation (of which the final 12 chapters were NEVER released) was only meant to fulfill an urgent need at the present time and that If time allows, 24 commentaries would be necessary to do justice to the subject. (4 levels of consciousness times 6 systems of Indian philosophy equals 24, see MMY introduction to Gita). If you haven't read Yogananda's translation don't die without doing so for you'll have been sorely short-changed on the magnificence of this book!! Again, MMY's 'urgent need' translation clearly does not do justice to Vyasa's masterpiece.

The story of Arjuna is not contained in the historic rendering alone!! To suggest Arjuna somehow got enlightened on and prior to a real battle, by Krishna, is foolishness to say the least.

[FairfieldLife] Bishop Robinson's Inaugural Prayer
Since the Presidential Inaugural Committee carefully scheduled openly gay Episcopal Bishop Eugene Robinson's prayer to be delivered before the HBO broadcast of the inaugural We Are One concert began, those who were watching HBO didn't get to see it. There's a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWWAnitUCw4 And here's a transcript: O God of our many understandings, we pray that you will bless us with tears tears for a world in which over a billion people exist on less than a dollar a day, where young women in many lands are beaten and raped for wanting an education, and thousands die daily from malnutrition, malaria, and AIDS. Bless this nation with anger anger at discrimination, at home and abroad, against refugees and immigrants, women, people of color, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. Bless us with discomfort at the easy, simplistic answers we've preferred to hear from our politicians, instead of the truth about ourselves and our world, which we need to face if we are going to rise to the challenges of the future. Bless us with patience and the knowledge that none of what ails us will be fixed anytime soon, and the understanding that our new president is a human being, not a messiah. Bless us with humility, open to understanding that our own needs as a nation must always be balanced with those of the world. Bless us with freedom from mere tolerance, replacing it with a genuine respect and warm embrace of our differences. Bless us with compassion and generosity, remembering that every religion's God judges us by the way we care for the most vulnerable. And God, we give you thanks for your child, Barack, as he assumes the office of President of the United States. Give him wisdom beyond his years, inspire him with President Lincoln's reconciling leadership style, President Kennedy's ability to enlist our best efforts, and Dr. King's dream of a nation for all people. Give him a quiet heart, for our ship of state needs a steady, calm captain. Give him stirring words; We will need to be inspired and motivated to make the personal and common sacrifices necessary to facing the challenges ahead. Make him color-blind, reminding him of his own words that under his leadership, there will be neither red nor blue states, but the United States. Help him remember his own oppression as a minority, drawing on that experience of discrimination, that he might seek to change the lives of those who are still its victims. Give him strength to find family time and privacy, and help him remember that even though he is president, a father only gets one shot at his daughters' childhoods. And please, God, keep him safe. We know we ask too much of our presidents, and we're asking far too much of this one. We implore you, O good and great God, to keep him safe. Hold him in the palm of your hand, that he might do the work we have called him to do, that he might find joy in this impossible calling, and that in the end, he might lead us as a nation to a place of integrity, prosperity, and peace.

This is not a fantasy unless you want to extend the metaphor into maya where everything is a dream. Enjoy the next 4 years (and beyond, Shemp. We're going to have a lot of fun beating up on your dumbass conservative notions.

[FairfieldLife] What does this mean?
A thought rises from the field of ananda, from the unmanifest, MMY; hence you have the process of TM, the reversing of this process. **But whose thought is it that arises from the unmanifest?** He doesn't tell you! It's the *creators* thought of OM, from which all mantras originate and into which all mantras merge upon transcending to the absolute. Thus, when you meditate you start with your little thought (of the mantra you were given) and this thought 'picks up' (if you're lucky) and merges into the 'thought' of the creators, or 'OM' and you are buoyed aloft to transcendental consciousness, it's a conscious expansion of your current limited awareness. ...Om is the beginning and end of all creation. All this is OM, that hum, which is the first silent sound, first silent wave that starts from that silent ocean of unmanifested life.

Hispanic women walking back from school with 3 children in tow, one in each arm, so intent on their journey. Pretty waitresses in Mexican restaurants. Just one smile and I melt. And the staged demonstrations, all in Spanish, with much waving the the Mexican flag and the proclamations that they are taking back the country for Mexico, starting with this street in downtown Austin. And having to push 1 for English, 2 por Espanol. The cliche eastern part of Austin, ever encroaching west, where the Mexican and black ghettos are. If you could see the drug dealers, put up with the blaring hip hop, see the street walkers. See the disdain, the hostility, the obvious intent of the young white blacks to kill everything that's white. Then driving further east. Towards College Station and Livingston and being reminded that King Cotton ruled Texas and that these people, barely struggling to survive, these former cotton picking slaves in their unpainted wooden shacks, too poor, to tired, too weary of just trying to stay alive are flesh and blood just like you. If you could realize that this is just the westernmost part of what stretches on into Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia. Sometimes it's easy to fall into jingoism and just slogans. For as long as you can maintain it it's easier on the heart and soul.

All 5 elements exist on every plane of existence, though on the subtlest plane 'akasha' (the fifth of the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, akash, also the constitutients of the 5 chakras) predominates, not that it doesn't exist on the material plane, just that it predominates at the subtlest, (all 5 interpenetrate) beyond that is anandam or the unmanifest, from which all of this comes.

I don't think it is the Maharishis thing. Most people here may share
time with Maharishi's programs in the past but most have moved on ot
other interests. I think it is the human angle that does get people
interested in what people write here. As Edg said, most of us have
laid our personal cards on the table so we know more about who we are

more they will take you seriously and read what you write. But
posting a random bunch of stuff is too impersonal to resonate. Isn't

Personally I would be interested in your experiences interacting with

a long way here IMO. This can be a friendly bunch to individuals who

[FairfieldLife] Night advanced technique is back
The first advanced technique offered is the Night Technique. This technique makes sleep time more productive for developing higher states of consciousness. It is learned at night (often taught around 8 pm). One must have all four advanced techniques before moving on to the advanced TM-Sidhi Program. from the Beverly Hills TM center newsletter: 121 South Wetherly Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90211 310 855 9025 Dear Family of Meditators, January and February are months of activity at the Center. Here are some of the happenings: FOR MEDITATORS Valentine's Day Weekend Residence Course Residence courses are the best way to deepen your practice of TM and receive lots of rest. We have not been able to find a good location for a residence course until now. Join us for a fabulous weekend at the Ventura Crowne Plaza Hotel, set on the oceanfront in downtown Ventura, only an hour north of LA. This hotel has been recently remodeled with an emphasis on design. Treat yourself to a real getaway of rest and walks along the boardwalk watching kite surfers glide colorfully through the waves. The hotel's C Street Café is considered the best hotel dining in Ventura County. Our vegetarian meals will meet a high standard set by this well known chef. We will officially start Friday with an evening meeting and rejoin our group the next morning after rounds of meditation and an optional breakfast. A morning meeting offers Maharishi's knowledge (both current tapes and old favorites) and ends with a group check. Lunch and an opportunity to walk along the ocean set the tone for another meeting in the afternoon with more of Maharishi's wisdom and a time for discussion. We then rest and do more rounds of meditation. After dinner we end the evening with a tape of Maharishi as we overlook the ocean at night. During Sunday's meeting we review experiences on the course and have our final group check.

All I needed was 3 governors to lie like a rug on recommendation forms, get checked a lot and have a cashiers check for $3,000 and some passport sized pictures. I gave up counting when I got to the 7th advanced technique. I agree that the advanced techniques are fertilizer. When Lillian Rosen gave me my 1st advanced technique the world inside me came apart. Whoosh! Maharishi described the techniques well, as fertilizer. But then again he was the master of all time in slinging the fertilizer.

Thanks. ** My frequent experience when doing the night technique before going to sleep is the typical relief-from-stress thing that all the TM-related practices induce, and in the morning, TM practice is more profound. I learned my lesson on only doing this night technique once per night when I experienced considerable discomfort after doing it again after I woke up during the night. Other than that, which resulted from my brushing off instructions, the night technique has been very helpful to me.

Bless this nation with anger anger at discrimination, at home and abroad, against refugees and immigrants, women, people of color, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. Bless us with discomfort at the easy, simplistic answers we've preferred to hear from our politicians, instead of the truth about ourselves and our world, which we need to face if we are going to rise to the challenges of the future. Bless us with patience and the knowledge that none of what ails us will be fixed anytime soon, and the understanding that our new president is a human being, not a messiah. Bless us with humility, open to understanding that our own needs as a nation must always be balanced with those of the world. Bless us with freedom from mere tolerance, replacing it with a genuine respect and warm embrace of our differences. Bless us with compassion and generosity, remembering that every religion's God judges us by the way we care for the most vulnerable.

Give him wisdom beyond his years, inspire him with President Lincoln's reconciling leadership style, President Kennedy's ability to enlist our best efforts, and Dr. King's dream of a nation for all people. Give him a quiet heart, for our ship of state needs a steady, calm captain. Give him stirring words; We will need to be inspired and motivated to make the personal and common sacrifices necessary to facing the challenges ahead. Make him color-blind, reminding him of his own words that under his leadership, there will be neither red nor blue states, but the United States. Help him remember his own oppression as a minority, drawing on that experience of discrimination, that he might seek to change the lives of those who are still its victims. Give him strength to find family time and privacy, and help him remember that even though he is president, a father only gets one shot at his daughters' childhoods. And please, God, keep him safe. We know we ask too much of our presidents, and we're asking far too much of this one. We implore you, O good and great God, to keep him safe. Hold him in the palm of your hand, that he might do the work we have called him to do, that he might find joy in this impossible calling, and that in the end, he might lead us as a nation to a place of integrity, prosperity, and peace.

A viewpoint: Arhata End of Global Warming Hysteria in Sight? http://www.mlive. com/opinion/ flint/index. ssf/2009/ 01/its_time_ to_pray_for_global_ wa.html It's time to pray for global warming, says Flint Journal columnist John Tomlinson by John Tomlinson | Flint Journal Columnist If you're wondering why North America is starting to resemble nuclear winter, then you missed the news. At December's U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world's top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? I asked myself, why would such obviously smart guy say such a ridiculous thing? But it turns out he's right. The earth's temperature peaked in 1998. It's been falling ever since; it dropped dramatically in 2007 and got worse in 2008, when temperatures touched 1980 levels. Meanwhile, the University of Illinois' Arctic Climate Research Center released conclusive satellite photos showing that Arctic ice is back to 1979 levels. What's more, measurements of Antarctic ice now show that its accumulation is up 5 percent since 1980. In other words, during what was supposed to be massive global warming, the biggest chunks of ice on earth grew larger. Just as an aside, do you remember when the hole in the ozone layer was going to melt Antarctica? But don't worry, we're safe now, that was the nineties. Dr. Kunihiko, Chancellor of Japan's Institute of Science and Technology said this: CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or the other ... every scientist knows this, but it doesn't pay to say so. Now why would a learned man say such a crazy thing? This is where the looney left gets lost. Their mantra is atmospheric CO2 levels are escalating and this is unquestionably causing earth's temperature rise. But ask yourself -- if global temperatures are experiencing the biggest sustained drop in decades, while CO2 levels continue to rise -- how can it be true? ... *snip*

Then again they couldn't. Nobody would buy a computer that leaks oil.

Then again they couldn't. Nobody would buy a computer that leaks oil. Wirth refused to even deal with exception handling, even though he inspired Ada: Wirth wrote two more languages, Modula-2 and Oberon, both Pascal- like in their structure; and the DOD language ADA was mostly based on Wirth's coding philosophy. ADA contained exception handling, which Wirth detested; Wirth believed that people who needed exception handling were simply poor programmers. The DOD committees governing ADA insisted that exception handling was necessary because programs written in ADA would govern real time operations, including missile launching. http://www.chaosmanorreviews.com/oa/2008/20080603_mail.php (end of page)

I am the eternal wrote: Watch your mouth. Old timer? I can sling C, C++ or Java (or any of dozens of other languages) as well as anyone. And I am now many levels above having to do that. And yet you cringed at modifying the Post Count code written in PHP. :-D Yup, usually people who become managers forget how to code. I like to code though I was also a manager. It's like writing music. But then I never wrote business shit, just the fun stuff with graphics. Still write that stuff and am published all over the world.

I can't go into more details than that.
