I was a Deadhead back in the 1980s, and the only thing I come away with from that video is an understanding of why Robert Hunter was not one of the musicians on stage.

It would make sense to keep a bull or two around for breeding purposes. But, it is highly unlikely that they keep all males. Unlike Jersey cows, which tend to be sweet and docile, Jersey bulls are considered the least docile of all cattle breeds.

MUM campus sits right next to a grain elevator, and this new facility will be about 5 miles away. There's lots of shrieking about GMO dust, but the main voices in the fight against it are the people from neighboring properties who will be impacted by the increase in truck traffic. In any event, the location is outside city limits, so it's beyond the jurisdiction of Fairfield city government. Years ago, there was huge opposition when the county supervisors tried to impose zoning in unincorporated Jefferson County, so there's nothing that prevents Heartland from building the facility. However, such a large facility will require road improvements, and that involves county government. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : This will be a mighty coup if you can pull it off - the monetary benefits they are talking about the grain elevator providing for the community and the benefits to the farmers are powerful enticements in this day and economy.

Wish you'd done this a few weeks earlier, 'cuz we just had to buy a new washing machine. Our three remaining appliances from 1994 all failed, sequentially, over the course of a month. First we replaced the dryer, which was taking hours to dry a load. A couple weeks later, the dishwasher pump started making a loud, bearing going out kind of noise. And, a couple weeks after that, the washing machine started drawing huge amounts of current and filling the laundry room with electrical stink (thankfully, it managed to finish the load of towels and not leave us with a failed machine full of wet mess.) 20 years ago, my appliance buying philosophy was to buy the highest end that still had mechanical controls instead of the newfangled electronic controls. And, I attribute that strategy for getting almost 20 years out of our old appliances. These days, everything has electronic controls, and we just went with the best rated, high end stuff. The washer and dryer are Kenmore Elite (made by LG), and the dishwasher is an 800 series Bosch. I doubt we'll get 20 years out of these new machines, but they do a much better job than the old ones, especially the dishwasher, which completely cleans stuff that had to be well rinsed with the old dishwasher, and in almost complete silence. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : * Offering a new washing machine to the lotus feet of Sri Alex, who manifested the siddhi of retaining his sense of humor about It All despite having to be a moderator at FFL.

Re: [FairfieldLife] my review of the iPAD Air w/128 GB
The DirecTV iPad app is great as a channel guide and remote control for the DirecTV receiver. OTOH, the DirecTV app's channel streaming totally sucks, but pumping the DirecTV receiver's audio and component video into a Belkin place-shifting device does a fantastic job of streaming all channels and DVR recordings to the iPad. The iPad in my bedroom is held in a SpiderArm, clamped to my bedside table, that holds it up in front of my face when I'm in bed. In the bedroom, I use it primarily as a TV and for doing the occasional web search or checking the weather. Flat on my back in bed, a tablet is actually the superior computer platform. Like I said, it's a niche product that does certain things very well. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : I've never understood why anyone would even *want* a tablet computer.

Thing is you can also run these apps on Android and iPhone too and probably a Windows 8 phone. The target market for Firefox phones are emerging countries where they can't even afford Android phones. They are even planning on a $25 smartphone for that market. There are some quirks with the OS so far. Firefox doesn't display Neo properly and the right side of messages are cut off. On Android I look at FFL in Neo with Chrome which handles it fine. In some cases like looking at the Firefox Marketplace the one button to go back just takes you out of the app itself. Good points are the battery life seems good. The phone is also GSM so if I want to try it as a phone I can just use the SIM card from the Android phone. Otherwise it works fine with wifi. Also it comes with built in FM receiver. Yup, most of these devices come with VERY LITTLE documentation.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Wanna feel better? Stop eating sugar!
It's true that not all calories are the same, but without a caloric deficit, weight loss will not occur. And, regardless of macronutrient ratio, if few enough calories are consumed, weight will be lost. There were a couple guys who experimented with very high carb intake, one eating nothing but potatoes, and the other eating a diet that included a lot of Twinkies, and both lost weight. Personally, I'm not a fundamentalist CICOite (calories in, calories out), but I place more importance on caloric intake than some macronutrient fanatics who seem to think all manner of magic will happen if you just avoid one macronutrient. But, that's just laughably divorced from reality, as Jimmy Moore, from Livin La Vida Low Carb blog, proved all too well. He managed to regain 100 pounds, gorging himself on low carb food; he did eventually lose the weight again, but it took a drastic reduction in caloric intake to do so. In my own life, if I eat more, I put on weight; if I eat less, I lose weight. The reason I so easily lose weight on low carb is that satiety is much greater, and with less hunger, eating less food is effortless. If I wanted to lose weight on a carby, new-age, hippie diet full of grains, beans, and starches, I'd have to count calories and endure gnawing hunger. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: Well, most of us know that but few of us do that.

Regardless, Knapp seems to wear a lost license (or as he publicly describes himself as a "defrocked therapist") as a badge of being a rebel, or something. At least now, there is a public official ruling which will make it difficult for him to get licensed again if he ever would have an interest in doing so. Thanks again.

About the only mainstream shows that have managed to fill that "I'll watch them every week no matter what" void are "Justified," "True Detective," "Person Of Interest," and "Lost Girl." I still give "Agents Of Shield" a try from time to time, hoping it will get better, but so far it hasn't. Sigh. Among new shows that I've stumbled upon, I'm giving a UK series called "The Musketeers" a shot, but I doubt I'll continue. I'm also watching a series about pirates called "Black Sails." This one I may continue watching. It's a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," showing the origins of Captain Flint and John Silver. Think the period authenticity, violence, sex, nudity, good actors, and production values that "Spartacus" brought to gladiators, only done with pirates. Sexy, fun, and so far replete with good performances from the actors. Go figure. What I'll be delving into soon, however, is a new set of great TV from Scandinavia and other places around the world uploaded by a guy who has become one of my "trusted resources" in the pirate 'verse. I'll download anything he puts up, because so far *everything* he's ever posted has been great. He turned me on to the original "The Killing" and "Borgen" and "Bron-Broen." So when he uploads a batch of new stuff, at this point I just download it and look forward to watching it. The first of these new potential gems I'll watch later today is from Wales, and all dialog was actually filmed twice, because they had to do it first in Welsh, then in English. It's called "Hinterlands" and I've only seen the first few minutes of it, but so far it'll be watchable just for the cinematography alone. There's the full set of "Bron-Broen 2" with BBC subtitles, of course, which I'll watch again to compare it with the fan-subbed version I had earlier. There's a well-reviewed series from Israel called "Prisoners Of War (Hatufim)" that I look forward to, and a series of mini-series specials called "Arne Dahl."

Is it possible that these cities with legalized marijuana are being blessed by Shiva? Thus, their teams have made it to the Super Bowl. Also, I'm beginning to believe that smoking marijuana is the reason why the Seahawks fans are so loud and spirited during the games up there.

However, I don't think there's any chance of the limit being reimposed. Alex
is very unlikely to want to take it back on, and Rick's too busy to even read
the posts here except once in a blue moon. Plus which, apparently Neo has made
managing a group nearly impossible. As long as the group pretty much runs
itself, that doesn't matter, but if it involves removing and then reinstating
posting privileges on a fairly regular basis, it's likely to be a huge hassle.
But something really does have to be done about Richard. Either he's
deliberately trying to kill the group, or he's developed some kind of mental
problem that keeps him from seeing what he's doing--maybe the onset of dementia.
I didn't think I would hear myself say this (and I haven't because I'm writing
it) but I am formally asking Rick for the reinstatement of posting limits. At
least at 50 I might, just might, be able to stick it out with the, shall we
say, obsessive troller Richard. He is nothing if not persistent in his need to
drive this forum into the basement. FFL will end some day but it would be nice

Major side effects of cannabis are the paranoia and psychosis due to breeding for high THC content, with the resulting herb containing much less cannabidiol, which moderates the psychotic effects of the THC.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: What People Eat
My most recent experience with Cuisinart is my new coffee maker. It got a great review on Consumer Reports, and the Amazon reviews remarked on how well it brews coffee. But, also mentioned many times on Amazon is the crappy latch mechanism on the lid. I figured the problem was a mixture of poor design and ham-fisted users, and being a more graceful and careful person, I assumed the latch mechanism would hold up under my gentle touch. WRONG! That latch was busted within two weeks. Fortunately, the fix is simple: I use a red brick to keep the lid closed during brewing (the hinge is spring loaded, and with the latch broken, the lid won't stay down.) When this machine inevitably dies some day, will I consider getting another Cuisinart? You betcha! 'Cuz despite the stupid latch, the machine makes really good coffee!

I'm interested in radio and electronics, and I've driven to the Bay Area (back in 1983), but I have no recollection of ever seeing that weird tower at the beginning of the video.

RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Michelle Pfeiffer escaped from a cult
I have some sort of carbohydrate sensitivity/reactive hypoglycemia, but it's really only a problem if I eat meals with a lot of starch. If I need to go as much as 7 hours without eating, I eat a steak slathered with butter. That keeps me going for hours and hours, and when hunger does return, it is very gentle. As it happens, in addition to having 2.9% Neanderthal DNA, I am also APO E4/E4, which puts me at the highest risk of Alzheimer's. As I understand it, the E4 variant is the most ancient form of that allele, which amuses me greatly because in the rarefied woo community that is Fairfield, I am literally a less evolved creature. From what I've read, sensitivity to carbohydrate is not uncommon with E4s, which makes us less able to handle a diet of cheap, fungible, neolithic grains/beans than our more evolved E2 and E3 brethren. With Alzheimer's sometimes described as diabetes of the brain, I figure I'm on the right track keeping carb intake low enough to maintain even blood sugar levels. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mailto:fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Isn't that why they call it "break fast"? People who have experienced hypoglycemia get very paranoid about missing meals. In the 1970s among TM'er hypoglycemia was rampant mainly due to eating bad vegetarian diets. Many went back to eating meat and felt better. Maybe some truth in MMY's "eat what your mother puts before you?" We are essentially what our ancestors ate. If one is paranoid about hypoglycemia the tendency is to overeat rather than do the anal and inconvenient small meals throughout the day.

[FairfieldLife] Astrology and Daylight Savings
This morning, a weird dream woke me up at a little before 2am, and my first thought was that it would be cool to watch my digital radio-controlled clock shift back to standard time. But, at the top of the hour, the clock stayed on 2am, and I realized that I had woken up during the second 1am hour. And, it got me wondering how astrology deals with the one day of the year in DST areas where there are two periods of 1:00am to 1:59am. I guess if an astrologer has to deal with a 1am hour "fall back" morning birth time that doesn't specify DST or standard time, he'll have to run both charts and see which one is the better fit. I'd like to assume that hospitals would make a point of taking note of which 1am hour, but I know from my own birth certificate that hospitals aren't always focused on recording accurate birth time.

[FairfieldLife] RE: College study finds Oreo cookies are as addictive as drugs
"“Our research supports the theory that high-fat/ high-sugar foods stimulate the brain in the same way that drugs do,” Neuroscience Professor Joseph Schroeder said in a school press release." For me, the problem isn't the sugar or the fat, but rather the starch, which is ultimately just pure glucose. Back in 2003, when I was gorging myself to 190+ pounds, my favorite snack binge was an entire box of Newman-Os, Paul Newman's organic version of Oreos, which I would inhale in a matter of minutes. I'd then sleep off the blood sugar crash and have a few dried dates when I woke up. It was an endless blood sugar roller coaster. But, I can eat a pint of ice cream and be completely satisfied and suffer no blood sugar issues. To crash my blood sugar on ice cream, I have to eat a quart or more, and ice cream just doesn't have that binge driving effect on me that starchy snack foods do. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/10/15/college-study-finds-oreo-cookies-are-as-addictive-as-drugs/ http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/10/15/college-study-finds-oreo-cookies-are-as-addictive-as-drugs/

[FairfieldLife] RE: One for Alex...
Yes, I am very much enjoying her character development. I now find myself actually rooting for root. Another show I'm really enjoying is The Blacklist, with James Spader. What was interesting to me is that James Spader seemed so very familiar to me, but I couldn't place him. So, I looked him up on IMDB, and there were only two things I'd seen, only one of which I remember: the episode of Seinfeld where he plays the guy who won't apologize to George. He seems to have a permanent, built-in snarkiness that is very distinctive. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: ...just because he's the only person here who has admitted to watching "Person Of Interest." Isn't the character of Root a gas? I am *so* happy that Johnathon Nolan and the writers of this series realized what a resource they had on their hands, and gave Amy Acker a role she could sink her teeth into. She was my favorite actress on "Dollhouse," and for similar reasons -- she could play "seemingly normal" one minute, and "beyond demented" the next, seamlessly. Root is crazier than a bedbug, but the "voices" really *are* talking to her. How do you explain that to your shrink in the mental hospital they've committed you to *except* to do what she did in episode three of this season? I'm hoping that they keep her front and center throughout the rest of the series...
