No, we missed him.  The new attraction I hadn't seen before were women,
naked except for g-strings and pasties, but painted in patriotic colors.
I have to say it wasn't the most family friendly attraction.  Otherwise
it was business as usual on Times Square.  Tons of people, tons of
lights, and some exceptionally talented street artists.

Gotta admit, sort of a funny cause to take on.  Sounds like you're

That was also what I liked so much about the C.S. Lewis series.  The

Then you might enjoy the Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson books starting

[FairfieldLife] Re: Tuning Into Vedic Radio

2013-08-14 Thread seventhray27
Hi Ann,
What may be a double standard to one, may just be a different way of
looking at something to another.  Share takes attacks from many quarters
here.  It was not surprising to me to see Barry launch his own attack. 
As I said before,  I never saw Share as "sucking up to Barry"
Share has her own style of interaction which I see as generally cordial,
and one of trying to find common ground.  If Barry sees that as
mindless, or stupid, or attention getting, then I think that really only
reveals something about him as opposed to Share.
She is also quite open about ideas and spiritual pursuits she finds
interesting.  Evidently that seems to bother some people.
The notion of Share being described as a "doormat" strikes me as
preposterous.
But thank you for pointing out what you feel is an inconsistency in my
reasoning.

However, Share wants to be martyred so, in some twist of strangeness,
Barry has made her very happy on some level. And her one Knight has not
appeared because he does not want to ruffle Barry's feathers. He is
strangely silent (Steve, where are you?). Ah, the machinations of this
forum, and of human beings in general, is fascinating. Curtis even
dropped by today. If Robin were actually reading any of this he would
have something to say. But in the end, only Share can decide for herself
what serves her best and for what reasons and what it is that needs

Good stuff.  This is called taking a stand Rory.  But taking a stand in
a mature, firm way that establishes boundaries.  Too bad it probably
won't be appreciated by those who have other agendas they wish to

2013-08-13 Thread seventhray27

Okay Ann, I'll take your bait.  Share gave a clear explanation to Jim.  
But you may have missed  the subtlety and nuance of it.  I never saw
Share suck up to Barry.  You just don't do that with Barry.

Sure Barry's rant was mean spirited.  It also seemed to contain a good
amount of frustration.  And I think he also totally missed, what I felt
was, Share's deft way of dealing with the massive amount of criticisms,
insults, and non stop personal attacks leveled against her.

Martrydom? No.  Wanting attention?  Fraid not.  Just someone who
justifiably defended herself when attacked, and often did so in a gentle
(often) and light hearted (most always) way that just so happened to
zero in on the issue at hand.  I am sorry that you aren't able to
appreciate it.

I didn't agree with any of those criticisms or attacks on her, although
I must admit I found them rather humorous, the way they kept coming and
from every angle.  But what gave me greater delight was the way in which
Share, in every case, dealt with them.

And now we see Raunchy and others, (Judy of course) laying some nice
traps to bring up all kinds of old (PR) business.  It also humorous to
see Judy, most every week, marvel at how far more overboard one of her
(perceived) enemies has gone.  But this is Judy's strong suit of course.

I may drift off to sleep after this.  Wishing you a good nights sleep as

Thanks for the recommendation.  I think we're staying at the Holiday Inn
Express in Newark which has a shuttle to the city.  I just checked the
rate for the Kimberly, and it was a little pricey for our budget, (but
it did get excellent reviews)

By coincidence, my wife told me a few minutes after your reply, that the
one museum she might recommend was the Frick, so we may try to fit that
in.


And good to know where we might find some Indian Food if need be.  I
remember the last time I was there, I ducked into a little Greek diner
for some good roasted chicken.

I also meant to tell Ravi that the Indian/Nepalese restaurant we
frequent here, has awesome mango lassies.  But, we save those for the
occasional times when we get a table.

I don't know Rory.  There has to be some channel on which to transmit. 
That is what I hear you saying.  So, what may appear to be a  lot of
philosophical mumbo jumbo is just a means for you to transmit a certain
amount love or silence, or whatever else you may be transmitting.  I
think that's fair and legitimate.  It may not be my cuppa tea, but I can
dig it.

Strange.  I think I know just what Rory is saying.  I don't see it as
egotistical at all.

I mean, it also makes me think that I haven't missed anything by not
reading it, but I understand what he is saying about the "transmitting"

Funny.  I just told my wife I want to start up with my pipe again.  Help
deal with stress in general.

Right now though I couldn't be more relaxed.  It has been a very mild

Thank you so much!

And yes to the Indian Food.

Speaking of Indian Food, we are fortunate to have the most fabulous
Indian/Nepalese restaurant close by.  Usually once a week my wife will
pick up some Matar Panir for the family.  It is always perfectly spiced.

And how can it be that naan from one place can seem so much better than
from another place?

The 1% effect demonstrated by Obiwon!  Finally a gem out of the deluge. 
And yes, all these continual speculations about the Robster!  (okay I
think that's the case, because, Lord have mercy, the most I've  been
able to do is message view for the last three days)

Ravi, thank you as well.  But maybe Judy is right.  Maybe, prayerfully,
it may settle down.  On the other hand, the subject matter is on
infinity this and unboundedness that, (or at least I think it is.  I
haven't even given that the benefit of message view, at least after the
first hundred of so)

2013-08-11 Thread seventhray27

I understand.  Sometimes I am trying to do things in a hurry,
(especially at work), and if I get stymied, I might try a different
route.  But we had AVG for many years and were quite satisfied.

I admit, "Free" is often the operative word for me in such cases.

I really don't understand either why people would pay for anti virus
protection when the free versions seem to work just as well.  At least
for what I'm doing.

Sure.  Probably that's the experience of most people I suppose.  I read
this article, (I believe) in the NYT a couple weeks ago.

What I found kind of humorous was that they cited trucks delivering
fresh produce (maybe on the upper east or west side) as one of the
culprits.

And I suppose low level background noise is often desirable for many, in
that it can hide other, more bothersome noises.

Hey, what about Microsoft Security Essentials!  Free, and hasn't let me
down in several years.

I did AVG as well, and had no problems.  But it always seemed like they
put extra steps in the way of getting the free version after a while,
and steered you to the fee based program.

2013-08-11 Thread seventhray27
Couple things come to mind.
I read an article recently that described excessive noise pollution in
NYC, almost at all hours.  I mean, I know that has been an issue, even
35 years ago when I was stranded there one night, and a woman took me
in.  I remember hearing all the noise some 12 stories below.
But it must have gotten quite a bit worse, which was the gist of this
article.  It wasn't so much the noise during normal hours, but rather
the early morning and late night noise.
On another note, I am going to Boston for a business vendor show in a
week or so, and then meeting my daughter, and we are going to visit NYC
for late afternoon, evening one day and a full day following.
I didn't know if anyone had any suggestions on how to maximize the
"feel" on a short visit like this.
On the full day, I was thinking we might take a 40 minute boat ride to
see the Statue of Liberty and make our way up, via walking, to the World
Trade Center sight, walk through China Town up to Times Square and then
taxi up to  Rockefeller Center and Central Park and take in a few of the
shopping avenues.
But I'd love to hear any suggestions if anyone has any.
Thanks.

I had a friend, Sherman Katz (R.I.P.) who had a check made out to the
Three Stooges or one of them, and endorsed by the other two.  I coveted
that.  I never saw it, but he had a lot of other memorabilia.

Now, I can't decide, would I rather have that, or Maharishi's sandals!

I'd scrounge up a couple thousand for M's sandals, but Mark was holding
out for 50K or more, IIRC.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Another True Brother Story

Hey Michael,

I enjoyed that.

But it sort of begs the question:

Sister?

Mother?

I know in a reply to Share many months ago you relayed, what I felt, was
a very nice account of some parts of your childhood.

It sounds like once everyone reached the teenage years, things took a
turn.  Not a bad turn, just a different turn.

I will relate an experience of mine.

My oldest son and I always spent a lot of time together, doing all the
traditional things - throwing the ball around the yard.  Playing a round
of golf on occasion.  Having me shuttle him around places - soccer,
baseball.

The day he turned 16 and got his drivers license, he was pretty much
off.  Suddenly he entered a new part of his life without much warning.

I really don't expect him to return much to the fold until he is maybe
26 or so.  Now he is starting his third year of college, and he is
having to decide if he wants to study, or party.  The studying part had
its strongest piece his first semester.  Since then, he's been drifting
more in the other direction.

information about them.
I know that would be disconcerting, but it was only a dream.  It's all
okay now.  Just sit up in bed for a moment and regain your bearings. 
Maybe get a glass of water.
Alls well Buck.  Everyone and everything is safe and sound.

Son, the judge just threw out your case for lack of evidence.  Now when
you slander someone, which could easily be argued that this is what you
did - that would be a serious accusation.

I thought regular practice developed a better sense of discrimination. 
You know appreciating the mantra at finer and finer levels.

Let's see if Buck has the integrity to back up his claim.  Talk about a
serious offense: making an accusation against someone that you
won't/can't back up.  Buck has never been one to engage in much of a
back and forth dialog.  He's pretty much a drive by poster.

I'm going to try to figure out how to get those pictures to show up. 
Not sure what the problem is.

I'll try the image sharing site Alex recommended.

Couple things.  Turns out it wasn't the Lone Ranger, but Matt Dillon.

"The world darkened before our eyes when we heard him telling one of his

  Gatorade made a "pretty fair chaser."
Damn, but I can't help but feel that the TM phase of your life was an

And I also can't help but feel that you've arrived at a pretty good

Your dad asked you how he could learn to meditate?

You went to the local center and volunteered to put up posters?

Out with it boy!

I think this is what MJ calls "hyperbole" or "allusion".  He held a
class on that last week.  You may have missed it.

I mean, to the rest of the world, it looks like he just likes to see
things in one way, no matter what the facts may be, but we were
corrected on this misconception.

Thank you for those reflections.  He has always been one of my favorite
poets as well.  This poem, the one below, was one I chose for a high
school English assignment, and have always remembered it.

twenties (which someone on this board might like to note was not ALL
that long ago), Dylan Thomas was my favorite poet. I would listen to
recordings of him reading his own work. I had several LPs and would play
them over and over and over. I knew dozens of his poems off by heart
just by listening to them so many times, and I remember some of them to
this day. Dylan was in love with the sound of words, and meaning was
secondary. This one though does have a meaning and I like it: the unity
of all life and the inevitable passage of time. I have always loved the
line "time has ticked a heaven around the stars." It was a tragedy that
he drank himself to death. "Fern Hill" is a lovely poem too, as is "Poem
in October," "Poem on His Birthday" and many more. His later poems are
more lucid than the early ones. Listen to him on YouTube.

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
Is my destroyer.
And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.

The force that drives the water through the rocks
Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams
Turns mine to wax.
And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins
How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.

The hand that whirls the water in the pool
Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind
Hauls my shroud sail.
And I am dumb to tell the hanging man
How of my clay is made the hangman's lime.

The lips of time leech to the fountain head;
Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood
Shall calm her sores.
And I am dumb to tell a weather's wind
How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.

And I am dumb to tell the lover's tomb
How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.

Dylan Thomas

[FairfieldLife] Re: For Mikey boy - do ya a-know your Appalachian English grammar?

2013-07-31 Thread seventhray27
Those are great.  I love Appalachian grammar.
A few things I hear in my line of business.
When referring to anything pertaining to brick, it is always "masonary"
instead of "masonry".  I would win if I bet that the term was used
correctly only 10% of the time.
Then there is the word "zinc" for "sink".  Not used incorrectly quite as
often, but still frequently.
Then there is Harley "Davison" for Harley "Davidson"
Now, I like to say for fun, (and because my wife has a Master's degree
in French and has flawless grammar), that I am going to Walmart's, or
Target's or something like that.
BTW Michael,  I always enjoy the stories about your family, including
your childhood.

he happened to have worked his ass off in the hot kitchens of MIU simply
means he worked his ass off and was dedicated to a life characterized by
TM and hard work. He also took a fair bit of abuse at the hands of the
stuffed shirts who ran the place. I was a student shortly before MJ
arrived so I remember those days well and had very close friends on
staff. I know how it rolled.

they could vaccinate against ignorance, fear and small mindedness I
would be first in line though.

I only objected, reluctantly, to what I felt was a blanket indictment of
vaccinations.  However, even if I disagree with many of his opinions, I
do enjoy his writing style,  especially when he relates his personal
experiences.

But it seems to me he has some (quite a few) blind spots when it comes
to the whole TMO experience, and I voice those objections, when I think
he is particularly off the rails.

easy Mikey, easy.  Don't get your panties in a bunch.  You're already
closing in on your limit.  let's just put off the debate about the
banning for now.  we can revisit it later.  on the other hand, if you
feel like you want a taste of banning, consider Batgap.  That's Rick's
other site and they don't tolerate much in the way of naysayers from
what I gather.

Here' what you're not saying Mikey.  "Please ban me for being so
controversial"  And the fact that you expect that to come from Rick or
Alex, shows just how ridiculously clueless you are.
But, please carry on.  You have become an interesting study of how
"unattached" and "unaffected" you are, and one can be from Maharishi's
teachings and legacy.  (at least in your own mind)

had for dinner tonight..followed by a big piece of home made
peach pie, made with locally grown peaches, topped with whipped cream. 
Oh, the tomatoes were locally grown too.  Maybe that will help a little.

On the other hand, I did have a colonoscopy a week ago,  Saturday, so I

In India, it's a very normal thing for a child to think of God and to
find Him and converse with Him. God-realization is a very concrete
experience in the Indian air, and this instills in every Indian heart a
desire to find a way and to seek a good guide to help them reach the

However, I wish I could say the grilled artichoke was a winner.  For
some reason it was not.  In the past, it had been a family favorite with
the family hurriedly tearing off each petal to get to the meaty base
which would then be apportioned out.

But in this case the dipping sauce was a little strong for my tastes.  I
prefer just a basic lemon butter for my artichoke dipping.

On the other hand, the nightly Foosball tournaments were thrilling,

Truthfully, in all the years we've been going out, I'm embarrassed to

what supports and drives that development.
I know there are a lot of rich people there, but other than the ski
season, and the pretty busy summer season, I don't quite see how the
developments can keep at the pace they are going.
But Aspen,  being  Aspen, anytime a developer wants to put up some
luxury units, they are required to also put up an equal number of
affordable living units.   Sometimes in the same  place, sometimes down
valley.  That is a good thing.
At least this year, we got a chance to go deeper into the big
archaeological find they made in Snowmass a couple years ago.
