If Prince was special in life than he is even more special in death. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <emily.mae50@...> wrote : This is pretty entertaining also Prince makes surprise appearance on stage at Hollywood jazz club http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/prince-beatles-cover-hollywood-club/ Prince makes surprise appearance on stage at Hollywood jazz club http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/prince-beatles-cover-hollywood-club/ http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/prince-beatles-cover-hollywood-club/ Prince makes surprise appearance on stage at Ho... http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/prince-beatles-cover-hollywood-club/ His Purpleness can't help but grin.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: RIP
May not have been a matter of abuse, as in getting stoned. It's being reported that he had major hip surgery a while back and had a lot of pain to deal with. They are thinking Percocet at this time. Seems he had a prescription for it and could have been building a tolerance thus needing more to get the needed benefits from it. His OD could have been a matter of trying to control pain and not being supervised by a doctor as closely as he should have been. His addiction could have been very innocent.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: RIP Bob Hoskins
Barry's becoming increasingly vulnerable to having his buttons pushed... And when he gets his buttons pushed hard enough, he becomes incoherent, as he is here. Do you never tire of reacting mindlessly to someone suggesting that your current appearance in photos is *not* representative of who you really are? Are you suggesting that I'm really an ugly old woman but that the photo makes me look pretty nice? Or that I'm really pretty nice looking but that the photo makes me look like an ugly old woman? One way or the other, all you've got is the photo. When you're suffering from seriously pushed buttons, Barry, for your own good you need to learn to read over what you've written before you post it to see whether it makes sense. Or at least wait to write it until you're not so rattled. In any case, not sure what either would have to do with the fact that Bob Hoskins, contrary to your claim, most certainly DOES show his age in the photo you posted. No biggie; it happens to all of us. And he looks fine for his age. To a non-biased observer, Which non-biased observer would that be, now? it would seem that the only thing that could resolve the issue is for you to post a photo that shows you as being as much of a a fairly attractive a dame as you seem to think you are. We'll wait. Fairly nice-looking dame was my phrase. Whether you or anyone else considers me attractive is a different question. As to resolving the issue, you can't even state what the issue IS, your misogynistic pea-brain has been so thoroughly fried from having your buttons pushed umpty times in a row since you started this. But no need to wait; the photo you want is the very one you've been stupidly ragging on. :-) From: authfriend@... authfriend@...

As for scouring places for traces of characters in Dunnett novels, I can attest to the truth of that because I used to lead such informal tours for fellow Dunnettophiles in Paris. Dorothy herself never wrote about a place unless she had been there herself. In one of her Lymond novels, there is a race across the rooftops of Blois, France, from the summer palace of the King down to the river. Dorothy not only researched the history of buildings to make sure it was possible, rumor has it that she made much of the rooftop journey herself. Before writing about the Sultan's palace in Istanbul, she went there, but being female was not allowed in. The palace guards noticed her hanging around outside and reported her to the authorities, one of whom happened to be a big fan of her novels. As a result she was invited inside to see the former harem, and could write about it first-hand. She was just that kinda lady. Dorothy Dunnett looking a little bit like Judith Stein speaks to Off The Page about her childhood and how she became a writer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfemT4mwTgw Great find. Dorothy was a famously nice person. I have a good friend who, having read all of her novels to date in California but having no one to discuss them with, called Lady Dunnett's house, hoping to leave a message with someone there saying how much one fan had appreciated her work and what it meant to her. To my friend's surprise, Dorothy herself answered the phone, and wound up talking with her for over four hours. She was famously in love with Alistair, and we fans were concerned that when he died she'd want to go too, just to be with him. This would have left the second series of novels, The House Of Niccolo, unfinished. But Dorothy hung in there, finished the last book of the series, and then passed away quietly. One story I don't think she told in this interview was about writing the first novel of the Lymond Chronicles. Her husband Alistair supported her efforts as a writer, but wisely didn't ask to read anything, leaving it up to her. This *is* the editor of the most famous news journal in Scotland, The Scotsman, after all, so he was in rather a good position to offer editorial advice. Finally, after a couple of years of writing, she finished The Game Of Kings and, with some trepidation, asked her husband to read it. She left him that night sitting in his favorite reading chair, just starting it. She came down the next morning to find him still sitting there, just having finished it, and in tears. He looked up and said, You have written the best novel I have ever read in my life. Interestingly her seven lighter detective stories featuring a bifocal-wearing secret agent in the guise of a portrait-painting yachtsman, Johnson Johnson, originally published under her maiden name are not mentioned The Dolly stories.

The bottom line for me when it comes to Favorite Writers is the same as for Favorite Movies or TV. Repeatability. That is, do I want to read it twice, or even more than twice? As much as I liked Nora Ephron, she never met that criterion. The corollary to this criterion is whether the writing in question gets *better* with every reading.

Obama has front stage (read Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman) let public option slide. It is alive still and president Obama hasn't started fighting yet. I will definitely admit this president doesn't act like most. Most are out there ahead of the crowd, butting the heads of MCs, gathering public support, threatening MCs (especially Blue Dogs) with loss of national support and his support come their re-nomination, and using the bully pulpit. Obama doesn't use the bully pulpit all that well but he does get things (like a beer party between a cop and a scholar at the WH) done in his own way. The Israelis are complaining that Obama is anti-Semitic in his dealings in the Middle East. Well, score one for Obama, since we've been kissing ass of the Israelis since FDR. Obama, Biden, perhaps your secret lover, the rest of the Cabinet and White House staffers will come out swinging when it's time. And if Obama only gets half a loaf, he's accomplished a lot.

It just reveals his contempt for modern science and medicine. Well, I sure am not clear as to exactly what MMY was including in the phrase our tradition, or what kind of exercise he was referring to. It might also be important to know what *else* he said in this connection, to have more context for the quoted statement. So it seems to me we don't really have enough information to draw the conclusion you've just come to. That could be the case. You began by saying, Let's look at his assertion at face value. In general, I think the critics of MMY here rely far too much on face value. They seem to lack the imagination to realize how important context can be. Sometimes it can confirm the face value, but other times it shows it in an entirely different light. While I used the term face value, remember that I lived in programs where every hour was programmed by MMY. Vigorous exercise has always been frowned on. Statements like Asanas provide enough exercise were used to guide our activity. MMY is anti weight training and aerobic training, this is a known fact of his fulltime programs. But now all the chickens are coming to roost. If MMY is right his groups of people living under his direction should be the picture of good health. We are entering the area beyond opinions as we see how people age. You can't tell anything by one person, but we will get a better idea with many aging Purusha and Mother Divine. As far as MMy goes,I think his mission is a big key to his longevity. having a purpose seems to be a really important for a long life On the other hand my dad is his age and is much more physically vigorous. But there are so many factors in health we can only pick out what makes sense and run with it. For me it includes weight training and aerobics as well as stretching and balance training. I am hoping that pursuing my music will give my life a focus till the guitar drops from my hands. I have read that many musicians live a long time and I think the activity and expression may help. I'll bet our views on how you and I conduct our own healthy lives are more similar than different.

You're not in the Himalayas. Are you sold out to rajasic activity? I'm not on Purusha, in case you did not know. I knew that. So if Purushas not in the Himalayas tend to be rajasic, what does that make non-Purushas? Seems to me that by your way of thinking, non-Purushas would generally be more rajasic than Purushas.

Pray tell, Doctor Stein, are you saying that there are instances in which exercise is NOT a good thing? I was going to make a similar comment. I’m no medical expert, but I can’t imagine a cardiologist telling anyone that exercise wouldn’t benefit them, unless they were so ill that the slightest exertion might kill them. I’ve seen people in their 90’s who had gotten proper exercise all their lives and could still run, ski, etc. Maharishi, who has been sedentary, has been bound to a wheelchair for several years. If non-exercise is part of his tradition, then the tradition is deficient. When I was on TTC and the Sidhis program we had walks every day either after or before lunch and it was recommended. Maybe running or heavy exercise might not be good for someone rounding because of the shock to the system. But walking should be okay. Plus using an Indian diet for westerners is not a good idea either. MMY started out saying eat what your mother puts before you. That was a subtle way of saying what your ancestors ate is probably the best diet for you or modified if you moved to a new location. Of course if your ancestors ate a bad diet and keeled over in their 40's it might not be such a good idea too and needs some advice or modification. Your body changes and adapts (acclimatizes) to your environment. My guru returned early from his last India trip and when I asked why he said too hot! So in about 10 years time he had become so acclimatized to the California climate that India was now too hot. I also have another Indian restaurateur friend who told me he gets sick now when he visits India. I've also wondered if so many who have had health problems and died early in the movement were even following advice from even MAPI practitioners? I've known people when recommended to at least eat eggs for breakfast didn't want to and stuck to an yogic diet of Indian food stuff not necessarily that good for westerners.

My exercise program remained undisturbed for the rest of the course, and both my buddy and I continued to laugh our ways through each one of them. Occasionally we'd see the asshole glaring at us, angry that our laughter was keeping him from his teacher and his enlightenment and whatever *else* he thought our enjoyment of life was keeping him from, but he never dared to say anything to either of us again.

If MMY is right his groups of people living under his direction should be the picture of good health. We are entering the area beyond opinions as we see how people age. You can't tell anything by one person, but we will get a better idea with many aging Purusha and Mother Divine. Right, a better idea (but even then, not necessarily statistically conclusive evidence one way or the other). I'm just objecting to the conclusions being drawn on tiny amounts of anecdotal evidence. snip I'll bet our views on how you and I conduct our own healthy lives are more similar than different. Oh, I'm sure. But then neither of us is in Mother Divine/Purusha. I'd certainly be dubious about a recommendation not to exercise for people living ordinary lives in the real world. I'm dubious about such a recommendation for Mother Divine/Purusha as well, but I leave more room for their different circumstances possibly having different effects. The appropriate dharma for these bodies is to exercise them. They evolved to be used in quite a vigorous way. I don't know about you, but I feel great after I exercise.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: RIP Sri Chinmoy
No, that's a piece of cake! But I think the paradox is one that is found with MMY and other gurus too. We see and experience one side of them, but there can be another side too that is rather disturbing to our understanding of Realization. I don't think one negates the other. I'm sure SC was the catalyst for many people having deep authentic spiritual experiences. And I'm also sure his sexual behavior is true also.
