As far as I know, mail-archive is not connected to Verizon/Yahoo, so it should 
be available until the site goes away.

I suppose it's possible that someone out there downloaded the entire FFL 
message archive before Yahoo deleted it, but I rather doubt it.

Right now is clearly a particularly good time to lose weight and improve

[FairfieldLife] Fw: Toxics, the dome and the Amish. Not green. Not leadership. Not Cool.

 Subject: Toxics, the dome and the Amish. Not green. Not leadership. Not Cool.
   
Hello -
Perhaps the group could offer insights into this controversy. It appears the 
repair job on the roof of the meditation dome for men is being done with highly 
toxic, suspected carcinogenic, chemical products, and Amish contractors who use 
teenage laborers. Some of these laborers appear very young. No safety gear 
appears to be in use.
Questions:
Why is the college using toxic (suspected carcinogen) products on the dome roof 
repair?
Why is the college not requiring protective equipment on adults and teens 
working on the roof as a condition of the contract? (Harnesses, respirators, 
clothing)
Is the roof repair project genuinely compliant with Iowa and Federal law 
regarding dangerous workplaces and children? Is the system being gamed?
Why is a college that offers degrees in sustainable living, and loudly touts 
itself as organic, sustainable, Non-GMO and "conscious" using toxic chemicals 
on the roof of their meditation dome?
Why didn't the college insist on the use of green products, consult with green 
experts or follow LEEDS best-practices and guidelines?
A survey asking for community feedback about these issues was shared today:

 Subject: Alex, can you make *another* post to the forum for me?
   
Alex, you have been an honorable voice in all of this, so I'm going to ask you 
for one additional favor -- can you post this update to the group? Thanks in 
advance.


Hi guys and gals,

I wanted to pass some information along to you to help with your ongoing 
discussions, not to mention your vote. I have sorta been following things on 
FFL, although not closely, so I have noticed that Doug Hamilton is *still* 
managing to stonewall everyone here and NOT give a reason why he deleted my 
access to Fairfield Life. At the same time, he has suggested strongly that he 
and Rick are in complete agreement on it (from post #417314):

Yes, Turqb and Serious are gone from FFL by moderation. I am only the CEO. My 
master is the list owner. We had quite sufficient back and forth about this 
before taking our additional time to go in to pull the moderation levers in the 
controls.

Well, I wish to shed a little light on this claim. Rick *finally* replied to my 
email to him, sent NOT to ask to rejoin FFL (there has been such a display of 
scumbaggery by a few here that I have serious doubts that I *would* rejoin 
FFL), but to focus on what for me is the larger issue of abuse of power. It 
took Rick several days *to* reply, and when he did (in a couple of posts), he 
made the following points:

1. He does NOT agree that FFL posters should be prohibited from criticizing 
David Lynch, as Doug attempted to enforce.

2. He does NOT agree that an FFL moderator should be able to delete a poster 
from the forum without giving a specific reason why. 

3. He has NOT been moderating the moderator and following Doug's actions *as* 
moderator. He doesn't have the time. I got the strong impression that he has 
not read a single one of the many posts surrounding this issue, and has no 
intention of ever doing so. In other words, if you're waiting for Rick to 
intervene and make a wise, informed executive decision on all of this, you'll 
be waiting forever. 

4. He does NOT know the reason that Doug deleted me from FFL. Doug has been 
stonewalling Rick, just as he has everyone else. If Rick is telling the truth 
in his emails to me (and I see no reason to disbelieve him), then Doug is LYING 
above about having been in communication with Rick about my removal. He is also 
LYING about the back and forth between Rick and himself. The truth is more as 
Alex told it -- Rick is simply *not interested* in Fairfield Life, and has 
neither the time nor inclination to follow a thread of posts and get to the 
bottom of any issue. 

5. Rick suggests that he bowed to Doug's constant demands to be made moderator 
as an experiment, and so far has had to trust him to do the right thing. Repeat 
-- he has NOT been involved in any of the decisions or pronouncements that Doug 
has made.

6. Rick specifically mentioned that he had been afraid that Doug would try to 
run things as his Buck persona, and made it clear that this was NOT what he 
wanted. Doug supposedly agreed, although I think we all know that if he did he 
was LYING to Rick about that, too.

That's all I know. I will happily make the whole email exchange available to 
Alex if he asks me to do so, so that he can affirm that I am not distorting 
what Rick said. 

I do NOT have any suggestions for those of you still on FFL, and suffering 
under the obvious attempt by a spiritual stormtrooper to take over the forum 
and shape it into his sick, twisted vision of community. I have specifically 
NOT asked Rick to reinstate me, and will not do so -- if he decides to, that 
will be his decision. 

Thanks to many people here for the great writing and the many times you have 
stood up for yourselves and done the right thing. Good luck working all of this 
out. I'm just writing you to let you know that from my perspective it really 
does look as if YOU are the ones who have to work things out -- you *really* 
aren't going to get any help from Rick on this.

 Subject: Alex, can you post a question to the forum for me?
   
It appears that Doug has gone ahead with his threats and has deleted my access 
to Fairfield Life. I'm just wondering how he justifies doing this based on 
supposedly offending posts of mine made back in May when on June 9th in post 
#416493 he explicitly said:
In moderation at this point I feel “the past is a lesser state of evolution” 
and I am going forward with a clean slate on everyone and not one is on 
moderation in any way from this point. I would only suggest in our going 
forward that folks take the time to actually read the Yahoo-groups guidelines 
if they want to continue fluidly posting on FFL. We should appreciate your 
cooperative collaboration on this.  -JaiGuruYou! 

Seems to me there is more than a little hypocrisy, double-dealing, and outright 
dishonesty going on here, and since Doug has eliminated the possibility of me 
bringing this question up to the group myself, I figured I'd ask you to do it 
for me. 

Thanks for everything. You have been more than fair in all of your dealings 
with Fairfield Life and with the odd group of characters who have posted there 
over the years. I wish that sense of fairness and honesty was equally present 
in the newest moderator. 

Barry...ooops, do I get in trouble for using my own real name?  :-)

P.S. To everyone else, so long and thanks for all the fish...

It occurred to me that perhaps Share is pasting in the URL immediately

and if you right click and paste in the link, it pastes over the http://. If 
for whatever reason, the http:// is left in and the link pasted after it, the 
link will not work.

I don't know. Basically, the neo interface is the Yahoo Groups version of

Any current web browser should be able to handle it.

  I've only watched the first two episodes so far. My only

  and made me feel I was really in the White House.

 Pretty much the same here, Rick. But even the super-snappy
 dialogue in West Wing began to get to me after a while.

 A couple years ago I was doing something in the kitchen
 with the TV on. I hadn't been listening, but the audio of
 a clip from some dramatic show that was being played
 caught my attention. I hadn't heard it before--it wasn't
 from West Wing--but I knew instantly it was a Sorkin
 show because just the rhythms of the dialog were so
 recognizable. Seems to me that has to be a flaw of some
 sort.

  The Newsroom
  hasn't sucked me in yet. I felt I was watching something
  unrealistic.

 I've seen only the first episode and a clip from the final
 episode of the first season, and it wasn't just the dialog
 that was unrealistic. I wonder what folks who have actually
 worked in the White House thought about West Wing in
 terms of realism. I know nuttin' about working in the
 White House, but I do know something about TV news
 operations, and there was stuff in the first episode and the
 later clip from Newsroom that was seriously inauthentic.

 Just for one thing, the station's reporting on the Gulf
 disaster was portrayed wildly inaccurately: they supposedly
 dug up the details of what had happened very shortly afterward
 that *nobody had actually known for days and even weeks*.
 And the script used that faux knowledge to beat up on other
 news outlets for going with the drama of the missing crew
 members instead of focusing on the environmental disaster
 (which, in reality, wasn't yet evident to anybody at that
 point, but which the Newsroom folks had purportedly
 uncovered within a matter of hours).

 Not that the news media totally covered itself with glory
 in its reporting on the Gulf spill, but this portrayal was
 just below the belt, IMHO. Nobody who watched this episode
 who hadn't followed the Gulf story pretty closely would
 have any reason to suspect that the news media had not, in
 fact, disgraced itself in the early days of the catastrophe
 by not doing the necessary investigation.

 Still pisses me off. If you're going to re-create a very
 recent major event for a mass audience, you need to take
 significant pains to do it accurately rather than
 distorting it for the sake of the drama. Otherwise your
 grossly mangled version is likely to become the common
 wisdom.

   spiritual seekers as opposed to spiritual poseurs
   like we have here, all agreed to it, and undertook
   it for the fun of it, and the challenge. 
   
   There was, in fact, a posting limit. For a period
   of two months, everyone on the forum was limited
   to only ONE post per day. And it had to be in the
   form of a haiku. Seventeen syllables. No more, no 
   less. 
   
   And it was WONDERFUL. Everyone rose to the challenge,
   and produced some remarkable poetry, insights, and
   humor. To this day (years later) many people on this
   forum still follow the One haiku per day rule,
   because they came to like it so much. 
   
   OK, I *know* that it could never work here. Many of
   our motormouths and trashmouths couldn't write a haiku 
   if you gave them 17,000 syllables to work with. But 
   like Maharishi's heaven on earth it's a pleasant
   fiction to imagine, even for a moment...

abuse. Yes, by stark contrast certainly the best writing and 
exchange on FFL was in a time when the post count was

Perhaps, you missed it, Rick, but I made it clear in an earlier post that if

But, if you don't appoint another moderator, I will simply ignore any

handle enforcement of the posting limits.

Nope. When clickable, properly inserted links are quoted, they are no longer

Don't worry, they'll be able to prop it up with all the US Dollars that Indian 
scammers must be raking in by calling Americans on the phone and claiming to be 
from Microsoft tech support. I finally got my first one of those calls the 
other day, and all I could say was, Well, that's very interesting, considering 
I have a Mac. (which is technically true, since I do, in fact, own a Macbook 
and an iMac, even though my main PC is Windows.) The guy hung up on me, and 
then it hit me: Dammit!!! This was the perfect opportunity to totally offend an 
Indian with my Indian accent by having Swami Gulabjamunanda give him an angry 
sermon about bad karma... Lord Shiva is going to be ripping you a new asshole! 
Let me tell you!

So, today, I get back home after Bananagrams at Revs and shopping, and there 
were two calls to my land line while I was out. I Googled the numbers, and one 
of them was an Indian tech support scammer. Dammit again!!! I swear, I am not 
going to leave this house until another Indian scammer calls me and gets an 
earful of the good Swami. I don't care if I have to dress in rags and live on 
opossum and raccoon stew! I am not leaving this house! 

Or, maybe I'll just forward my land line to my cellphone, hang out at Revs, and 
sponge off of Rory's darshan.

 They would need to store the rich text (HTML).  The email comes
 to us with both HTML and plain text.  The system is probably a
 horrible hack that Yahoo engineers are afraid to mess with.

Well, some years back, they did mess with it in a major way: they did away with 
storing file attachments, including the removal of all previously stored 
attachments in the archives. People had been using adult Yahoo Groups to trade 
porn images and video clips, and the attachments must have been taking up huge 
amounts of drive space on the servers.

To me bhakti is an emotional fixation on some God concept or pedestalized 
God-person (e.g., ISKCON and Ammachi), and I am totally not wired for that. 
OTOH, I am very much drawn to the sound of Vedic chants, and I did end up with 
the Gayatri Mantra running in my head for years. Technically, that probably 
makes me devotee of Surya (solar deity), but it was never bhakti in any kind of 
emotional sense. If you ever see me clutching a little stuffed Sun doll and

 Good for you, I don't blame you. I think we should see how the
 month goes from here. I think it would be useful to stop thinking
 about the number 50 as relevant to anything. If things get
 obnoxiously lop-sided or tiresome with boring posts then we can
 revisit how to legislate controls. Seems a pity if it would come
 to that though.

Well, it was originally all about Shemp, Lawson, and Judy. Shemp is gone and 
Lawson hardly posts at all, so it's all about Judy, or more to the point, 
Barry's obsession with Judy and his need to have her controlled. Frankly, I'm

Considering that I'm not a heavy poster, and I was never in favor of posting 
limits to begin with, I think after all these years of being The Enforcenator, 
it's time for FFL's post limit to be enforced by a more active user who 
actually is in favor of posting limits. I'll happily keep the post count script 
running and handle subscriptions and other helpful stuff as needed, but keeping 
track of who overposts and killing/reinstating posting privileges needs to be 
done by someone else.

I worked with Rory a few times, and it was helpful. Similar to your incessant 
need to make others wrong, I constantly make myself wrong, which makes me 
absolutely miserable. For a while, Rory's particle/wavicle work was able to 
shut down that toxic internal dialog and give me some relief. After a while, it 
stopped working, and that was that.

Personally, I use the freebie version of Avast:

http://www.avast.com/index

I'm very happy with it, but it doesn't mean I'm free to be a complete idiot. 
When I check my Spamcop spam folder and see that there's an email with a file 
attachment, I often release it just to see if Avast catches it. Sometimes it 
lets it come through, at which point, I save the file in a special folder and 
run a virus scan on the file every day until Avast catches it. It can take a 
day or two until they update their virus definitions to detect it.

Any time I download freeware, I always do a scan on it with this very useful 
site:

http://www.virustotal.com/

They scan the file with just about every antivirus program in existence. If 
they declare downloaded freeware to be free of malware, I trust them. I also 
run those saved virus attachments by that site, and it is interesting to see 
which antivirus programs are right on top of the newest infections; Norton and 
Kaspersky are two that are pretty consistent in catching them, but once in a 
while, no one catches it.

 Great, thanks ! When two wizards suggest avast it must be good. If
 you don't mind me asking: It's still a few days until I must pay
 for the Norton. Can I run both at the same time ?

No, it's not a good idea to run multiple anti-virus programs. 

As for Norton, in the past it had a reputation for being a bloated resource 
hog, but they finally redid the whole thing recently, and MaximumPC magazine 
gave it the highest rating they ever give to anything.

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/best_antivirus_2013

I used to use AVG, but some years ago, it started to have bloat creep, so I 
removed it and ended up going for years without any antivirus. Petra still has 
AVG on her Vista laptop, and it hasn't given her any trouble. With my extreme 
Vista allergy, I try to stay as far away from her laptop as possible, so I saw 
no reason to switch her over to Avast.

 Not to barge in or anything ( although I am :-),
 I think that when making absolute declarations
 about what a Web service does or doesn't do,
 one should bear in my that WYSIWYG is *not*
 necessarily What Everyone Else Sees And Gets.
 
 Large Web services like Yahoo or Facebook have
 multiple servers, on multiple continents, and
 they roll out upgrades to them on *their*
 schedule, not all at once. Living where I do,
 I've grown used to hearing about Americans
 bitching about some new upgrade for *weeks*
 before I see it. Same thing used to happen to
 me when I used to live in the US, as a similar
 upgrade took days or weeks to update across
 the distributed network of servers.


Yep, there's that. Could also be that Share needs to install or update Java.

Well, heck, that's an easy fix. Go to Yahoo mail, hover your mouse pointer over 
the little gear in the upper right corner, and click on Mail Options in the 
drop down menu. At the very bottom, click the little thingie next to Basic, 
click OK on the balloon that pops up, then click the orange Save button. That

 Sounds to me more like a problem with your computer. It's
 not happening on the Website, and I haven't seen any of the
 folks here who get the posts by email mention it except you.


Keep in mind that there are multiple ways to receive and read FFL traffic by 
email. I use Thunderbird to fetch my Gmail feed with Gmail's POP mail 
interface, which works great because the Inbox resides in my office on a fast 
computer with an ass-load of RAM and a solid state drive. Share is using 
Yahoo's webmail interface, which means the email client is Yahoo's server. As 
you surely must know, Yahoo does, once in the very rarest of whiles, have a
