Shemp, Since you like obscure sports, do you ever catch womens college softball on ESPN? I am watching a few minutes now. Both the UCLA and Texas teams have deep talent. And we are now into the French Open (tennis). Not so obscure, but few seem to watch. Go Sharapova! I really love alot of the women's sports on TV. Yes, women's tennis is MUCH better than the men's, especially when they play only 3 sets instead of the 5 for men...who can watch for 5 sets. I've only rarely seen women's softball but did like it when I saw it. And, of course, there's women's beach vollyball. I like my women thin and moderately muscular.

[FairfieldLife] 'Neo/Cons In Love'
June 3, 2006 -- WMR can report that a Mayflower Hotel staffer has confirmed that First Lady Laura Bush spent at least one night this past week at the hotel, which is four blocks north of the White House. Mrs. Bush reportedly moved out of the White House after a confrontation with President Bush over his on-going affair with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The Mayflower's official position on the story is that they can neither confirm nor deny the identities of their guests. Because it's penchant for security and secrecy is well known to the Secret Service, the Mayflower has become a reliable hotel for U.S. and international VIPs. Some Washington observers believe that the recent flare up between Laura Bush and the president stems from the fact that her poll numbers are twice as favorable as her husband's (60 percent to 29 percent). Laura Bush's recent solo missions to New Orleans, Colorado, and an AIDS conference at the United Nations represent a virtual declaration of independence from the most unpopular president in U.S. history. She's [Laura's] taking a page right out of Hillary's book, said one Washington pundit. Rice, on the other hand, has been very close and loyal to Bush since she signed on as his chief foreign policy adviser in 2000. WMR has been told of intimate encounters between Mr. Bush and Rice on trips to New York City (multiple occasions) and New Orleans following Katrina. Mayflower officially mum on recent VIP guest and her Secret Service detail. WMR has received numerous email from the typical right-wing political direct marketing operations with the same talking point: how dare we violate the privacy of the President and First Lady in time of war. To refresh the memory of the right, we offer this one peek into recent history: Feb. 18, 1998 (CNN) -- . . . Clinton also faces a divided public. In the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, 54 percent of people surveyed said they would prefer to see the Iraqi crisis resolved by diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions. Maybe more importantly, though, the poll indicated a significant drop since early February in support for military strikes against Iraq, from 50 percent to 41 percent. At the same time, by about a 2-1 margin, people say if the U.S. does attack, its goal should be remove Hussein, not just to reduce Iraq's capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and threaten its neighbors. And Clinton has another problem, and her name is Monica Lewinsky. In this public test of wills with Hussein, Clinton has tried to stake out the moral high ground. He has talked about the chance to do the right thing for our children and grandchildren. But some of his political opponents think Clinton cannot claim the moral high ground, not now, not after the past month's lurid tales. As restrained as Republicans have been in discussing the Lewinsky controversy, there are signs that approach is ending. In the GOP view of morality, Republican Presidents are entitled to more privacy than Democratic Presidents. In another bit of GOP hypocrisy, on Monday, President Bush will hold a VIP ceremony at the White House to back a bill enshrining a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. The name of the legislation: The Sanctity of Marriage Act. WMR hopes the mainstream TV media will focus on Laura Bush's facial reaction when Mr. Bush proclaims his support for The Sanctity of Marriage Act, i.e., if Mrs. Bush is even present for the event. Postscript: We want to thank radio hosts Randi Rhodes and Stephanie Miller for not being cowered by the right-wing spin machine and reporting this story on their programs.

[FairfieldLife] 'More on Condi/Bush Affair'
June 2, 2006 -- A White House source, speaking on background, vehemently denied to WMR that there are marital problems between President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush over a reported extramarital affair between Mr. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. However, two mainstream media sources have confirmed that their sources also have reported an ongoing affair between Mr. Bush and Rice. The mainstream media is hamstrung in reporting stories about Bush's personal life. For example, in 2001, the media highlighted Bush's comments about his passing out from choking on a pretzel while watching a football game in the White House. In reality, Bush, who claims he gave up drinking years ago, passed out from being inebriated. Washington's movers and shakers knew the story about Bush's drinking but the media studiously avoided it. Uncomfortable travel mates: Laura Bush and Condoleezza Rice at Jan. 16, 2006 inauguration of Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Monrovia. -- -- June 1, 2006 -- UPDATED -- Rocky shoals for Bush marriage? Informed sources Inside the Beltway report that First Lady Laura Bush has established temporary residence in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC as a result of a tiff with President Bush over an extramarital relationship involving her husband. Mr. Bush's tryst is said to involve Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. It is not known how long Mrs. Bush plans to remain at the Mayflower, however, her security detail has been present at the hotel during hours when the First Lady would normally be residing in the White House. While she was National Security Adviser, Rice, who has never been married, referred to George W. Bush as my husband before she corrected herself and said, President. Bush Rice was speaking at a dinner hosted by New York Times bureau chief Philip Taubman when she made her husband remarks. WMR is tracking the Laura Bush story.

[FairfieldLife] Killing the organic goose
The New York Times magazine has an interesting article on the pros and (mostly) cons of the Wal-Martization of organic food. Excerpt: Wal-Mart will buy its organic food from whichever producers can produce it most cheaply, and these will not be the sort of farmers you picture when you hear the word organic. Big supermarkets want to do business only with big farmers growing lots of the same thing, not because big monoculture farms are any more efficient (they aren't) but because it's easier to buy all your carrots from a single megafarm than to contract with hundreds of smaller growers. The transaction costs are lower, even when the price and the quality are the same. This is just one of the many ways in which the logic of industrial capitalism and the logic of biology on a farm come into conflict. At least in the short run, the logic of capitalism usually prevails. Wal-Mart's push into the organic market won't do much for small organic farmers, that seems plain enough. But it may also spell trouble for the big growers it will favor. Wal-Mart has a reputation for driving down prices by squeezing its suppliers, especially after those suppliers have invested heavily to boost production to feed the Wal-Mart maw. Having done that, the supplier will find itself at Wal- Mart's mercy when the company decides it no longer wants to pay a price that enables the farmer to make a living. When that happens, the notion of responsibly priced food will be sacrificed to the imperatives of survival, and the pressure to cut corners will become irresistible. Up to now, the federal organic standards have provided a bulwark against that pressure. Yet with the industrialization of organic, these rules are themselves coming under mounting pressure, and forgive my skepticism, but it's hard to believe that the lobbyists from Wal-Mart are going to play a constructive role in defending those standards from efforts to weaken them.

[FairfieldLife] 'Patti Boyd: My Life as a Muse'
Patti Boyd: My life as a muse Immortalised in song by lovers Harrison and Clapton, Patti Boyd was the 1960s 'It Girl'. She shows her remarkable photo album to Stuart Husband Published:04 June 2006 At first glance, Patti Boyd seems to blend into the quiet corner of West Sussex where she's made her home. Her 17th-century cottage is adorned with wisteria; tomato plants and orange trees are meticulously potted in the greenhouse; and she exchanges cheery greetings with the lady neighbours walking their Labradors or mowing their lawns. But look more closely and clues to a more singular life emerge. Snapshots of rock royalty - George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ronnie Wood, even Kate Moss - are displayed in the downstairs loo. A stone Buddha gazes serenely across the lawn toward the distant South Downs, while another plays peek-a-boo through a nook in a box-hedge. And Boyd herself - well, there's something in the way she moves. As she alights from her black Saab (she's just returned from a Pilates class) you're struck by her limber physique, her rock-grand-dame outfit - all layered-black and insouciantly knotted neckwear - and her cascade of mussed-up blonde hair. Then it strikes you: this is the no-way-is-she-62-year-old woman for whom three of rock's most enduring devotional tributes - The Beatles' "Something", Derek The Dominoes' "Layla", and Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" - were written. She's passed into pop-culture legend. "I have led an exceptional life in some ways, yes," she says in clear, measured tones as we settle under an arbour. "I mean," she continues, widening her eyes, "I've been very lucky. I seem to have had a gift for landing in the right place at the right time." Boyd was one of the original 1960s "It Girls" - a cross between Kate Moss and Nicole Richie without the attendant substance abuse or dietetic drama. Embarking on a modelling career in her late teens, and serially shot by the likes of masters she refers to as "Bailey and Donovan", she was hired by director Dick Lester to star in promotional campaigns as the "Smith's Crisp Girl". When Lester went on to helm The Beatles' movie A Hard Day's Night, he cast her in less-a-cameo-more-a-miniature-role; however, her one line - "Are they looking for prisoners?" - was delivered in a schoolgirl's outfit, which brought her to the attention of George Harrison. The two were wed in 1966, in matching Mary Quant fur coats, and it was Boyd, and her growing interest in Eastern philosophy, that inspired The Beatles' subsequent exploration of transcendental meditation and 1968 visit to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Indian ashram. Harrison and Boyd divorced in 1977, blaming "divergent interests", and Eric Clapton, who had long carried a torch for Boyd - his "Layla" the ultimate paean to their unrequited love - stepped in. They married two years later, and Boyd was with Clapton through his alcohol and heroin addiction, before they split at the end of the 1980s. The two are still friends; Boyd also remained close to Harrison until his death in 2001. Boyd has documented these happenings with what she calls "my little snaps" since the late 1960s. Now, an exhibition of some 50 of her photographs is due to open at London's Proud Galleries, and provides an intimate look at some epoch-making lives and times, seen through the eyes of an ultimate insider. There's a barefoot George, John and Paul, hanging out and zoning out; Eric, doggedly plucking at his guitar or posing in what looks like a Bentley/ T42 tank hybrid; mellow Indian and Caribbean landscapes, with passing natives and kneeling camels; and Patti herself, looking like Gwyneth Paltrow's guileless younger sister. Boyd may have learnt about photography before the lenses of the classic 1960s portraitists, but her own work aspires to the ingenuous quality of Doisneau or Cartier-Bresson. "None of the photos are 'staged' as such," she says. "I just snapped when I thought the time or the light was right. I like their unself-conscious quality; I never felt I was creating a historical archive." She glances over at the impassive Buddha. "I didn't keep a diary in those days, so the pictures form a sort of record, I suppose. They'd all been in boxes and (omega) cupboards for decades until I had my first exhibition in San Francisco last year. Up to then, I thought I might only have three or four of interest." She grins. "I was as surprised as anyone at what I found." Nevertheless, Boyd professes herself nervous at the prospect of the London show, not only because her life will be writ large on the walls, but also at the judgment of her peers. "I mean, photography is my job now," she stresses. "When Eric and I split up, I knew that I had to do something to make some money, so I did a serious photography course and actively tried to find work. Today, I shoot for magazines and I'm commissioned to do portraits for friends." This has included a 1990s collaboration with Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood;

Nice description of the great things about this music. I hung out with Brazilians when I was studying their style of Jiu-jitsu. They have such an expansive spirit, they were fun to be around. An ability to enjoy life that comes through in everything they do. Really charming. If you would care to send me to Amazon on a listening trip for one of your favorites I would enjoy that.

It's been awhile since I've listened to Brazilian music seriously. This one goes on my list to buy (I'm trying to keep to one CD a week!). Great pick. Thanks again. I haven't heard the albums you've been discussing (product deadline, and all that), but if you're open to a completely different genre, might I suggest you consider adding an album called All The Roadrunning to your To Buy List? If you don't like it, I will cheerfully refund the amount you spent on it. I think it's the album of the year, so far. Imagine two popular music gods, each completely unique in his or her own Way, who know each other's music intimately and have been inspired by it time and again. Further imagine that because of their respec- tive touring schedules, these two people manage to see each other only two or three days a year. Keep imagining, and wonder what would have happened if these two people spent those two or three days a year for the last seven years recording an album of duets. The musicians in question are Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. All The Roadrunning is that album. It's a labor of love. Most of the songs were written by Mark, with two written by Emmylou. And there's not a 'sinker' in the lot; the consistency of excellence is remark- able, especially given the way the songs had to be recorded. The writing is clever and self- referential (especially 'This Is Us' and 'Red Staggerwing' and the title song, and as for the singing, well, suffice it to say that there have never been two voices on planet Earth more karmically destined to sing together. I've loved Emmylou since before her pairing with Gram Parsons, which is a long time. I don't know of a classier act in popular music. A real lady, much to be admired. I discovered Mark Knopfler late, as Dire Straits was dissolving. I'd heard a few of the popular songs on the radio, but somehow it hadn't caught my ear. Then I saw a wonderful film called Local Hero and was so transported by the score that I bought the soundtrack LP immediately after seeing the film. The next day I went back to the same record store and bought everything Mark Knopfler had ever released. I haven't missed one since. He's a guitar god, and his songwriting is among the best on the planet, and there's that voice. Anyway, you might like this album. It has rarely left my CD player since I got it, except to listen to more Mark Knopfler and Emmylou. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: I prefer fewer instruments also.

Thanks for the tip. I will check it out. Amazon rocks! I've been listening to the two of them a lot today. I had a deadline to meet, and today's the first day that I could really kick back and do nothing (in the Zennist of senses, like listening to great music and really *listening*). So I wound up writing a little to a music list about these two, and a lively discussion ensued there, so I have following followup information handy: To catch up on Emmylou, an album called 'The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches and Highways' is very good indeed, with a choice of songs made by someone who obviously knows her music well enough to choose a few of the very best. http://tinyurl.com/f595c For Mark Knopfler, there's one called 'Private Investigations: The Best of Dire Straits Mark Knopfler.' Its set list is also remarkably well-chosen. http://tinyurl.com/sx3c3 ... You can always tell if the compiler of the Best Of albums knows what he's doing by the masterpieces they don't dare leave out -- the ones that weren't necessarily big hits, but cannot be overlooked if you want to understand the artist. For Emmylou, the two that *had* to be included, and were, are 'Love Hurts,' with Gram Parsons, and 'Boulder To Birmingham,' the song she wrote about him after his death. Fundamental. The one that got missed, IMHO, was 'If I Needed You,' her duet with the incomparable John Starling. For Mark, the one that really *had* to be included, and was, is 'Romeo And Juliet.' It's a masterpiece of the Out-Dylaning Dylan School Of Songwriting, taking street characters and mythifying them. ... I first discovered Emmylou Harris while working in a record store in Toronto, where I stumbled onto her first album. You know me...I bought it because of the photo of her on the cover. :-) Don't bother looking for it, though...when she got famous, Emmylou bought up the rights to the album and pulled it off the market, so that it wouldn't still be available. Compared to her later work, she was right to do so...it was that embarrassing. It was some music exec's attempt to turn a young, unknown talent into a Joni Mitchell clone. And yet, there was something about her voice that captivated me. Shortly afterwards, she showed up singing with Gram Parsons, and I was a goner. That's really where the true history of her career should start. Gram heard a songbird that really needed to fly free, and the music exec heard only something that needed to be caged. As much as I love her music, I've only seen her play live once. I was living in Eugene, Oregon (still a TMer and working as a State Coordinator) and she came to town with her band and played one of the local taverns. A small tavern. I've lived in houses and apartments with bigger living rooms. So me and about a hundred other people crammed into that space to hear her play. We are talking college students and lumberjacks and construction workers and other musicians and hippies left over from the Sixties, all drinking beer and smoking and dancing and doing a great impression of Leonard Cohen's glorious bar song 'Closing Time,' long before it was written. Emmylou was in hog heaven; this was her kinda crowd. She played for something like four hours, non-stop, and then did every request the crowd asked her for. I think I've managed not to see any of her concerts in the years since because part of me wants this to be my sole memory of seeing her live. Hard to explain. Similarly, I've only seen Knopfler once, last year in Paris. The concert was at Bercy, another intimate setting (just me and my date and 15,000 others). But the man has such magic that, sitting there listening to him, I'd have sworn that the room was no larger than a country tavern.

[FairfieldLife] Condy's solitary life?
She spends almost all her weekends with the Bush's family in Camp David. They watch football matches, play golf, do jogging and cook chicken. Bush never calls Ms. Rice by her full name. She in her turn never thinks twice when she needs to call the US president in the middle of the night to discuss issues of state importance. Ms. Rice's status of a single woman is her biggest problem for the time being. She has never been married, which is nonsense for the majority of American citizens, who firmly believe that a family is one of the basic signs of social well-being. Condoleezza Rice is 51 years old now, but it seems that she has absolutely no private life at all. Even meticulous reporters managed to trace only one boyfriend in Ms. Rice's biography: a very brief affair took place in 1970. Reportedly, Condoleezza Rice fell in love with a football player during her school years in Denver. Condi's choice totally complied with her own dogmas: the eight-year-old girl told her parents once that she would agree to marry only a football player.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Killing the organic goose
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The New York Times magazine has an interesting article on the pros and (mostly) cons of the Wal-Martization of organic food. Excerpt: Wal-Mart will buy its organic food from whichever producers can produce it most cheaply, and these will not be the sort of farmers you picture when you hear the word organic. Big supermarkets want to do business only with big farmers growing lots of the same thing, not because big monoculture farms are any more efficient (they aren't) but because it's easier to buy all your carrots from a single megafarm than to contract with hundreds of smaller growers. The transaction costs are lower, even when the price and the quality are the same. This is just one of the many ways in which the logic of industrial capitalism and the logic of biology on a farm come into conflict. At least in the short run, the logic of capitalism usually prevails. Wal-Mart's push into the organic market won't do much for small organic farmers, that seems plain enough. But it may also spell trouble for the big growers it will favor. Wal-Mart has a reputation for driving down prices by squeezing its suppliers, especially after those suppliers have invested heavily to boost production to feed the Wal-Mart maw. Having done that, the supplier will find itself at Wal- Mart's mercy when the company decides it no longer wants to pay a price that enables the farmer to make a living. When that happens, the notion of responsibly priced food will be sacrificed to the imperatives of survival, and the pressure to cut corners will become irresistible. Up to now, the federal organic standards have provided a bulwark against that pressure. Yet with the industrialization of organic, these rules are themselves coming under mounting pressure, and forgive my skepticism, but it's hard to believe that the lobbyists from Wal-Mart are going to play a constructive role in defending those standards from efforts to weaken them. I think this is an example of why we shouldn't always count on the government to give us good regulation: it can always be subject to the whims of lobbyists. If there was an organic-industry standard board or something whereby -- I don't know -- people with a reputation for determining proper organics could sit on such a board, then THEY could set the standard and not the government. Then Wal-Mart would have to play by their rules. Can't blame Wal-Mart for trying to bring down prices and squeezing their capitalist suppliers and capitalist growers.

Thing is, the only area of music I really know anything about is classical, and the snippets you can listen to on Amazon aren't long enough to be satisfying. I also love classic jazz and blues and certain ethnic music, but I'm not familiar enough with any of it to be able to say, Hey, go listen to this! I mostly listen to radio stations that specialize in these areas, and I follow other people's recommendations. I'm trying to get to the point where I know what I like well enough to buy some CDs. Rosa Passos really hit the spot, so that was a good start. Ever listen to African music. particularly from Mali? Not that I know of, but I'm willing to give it a try. Blues recommendations would be very welcome--generally the kind of thing you play, classic, acoustic, small ensembles, guitar, harp, sax. Don't know the subgenres well enough to give a preference.

I was living in Eugene, Oregon (still a TMer and working as a State Coordinator) and she came to town with her band and played one of the local taverns. A small tavern. I've lived in houses and apartments with bigger living rooms. So me and about a hundred other people crammed into that space to hear her play. We are talking college students and lumberjacks and construction workers and other musicians and hippies left over from the Sixties, all drinking beer and smoking and dancing and doing a great impression of Leonard Cohen's glorious bar song 'Closing Time,' long before it was written. Emmylou was in hog heaven; this was her kinda crowd. She played for something like four hours, non-stop, and then did every request the crowd asked her for. I think I've managed not to see any of her concerts in the years since because part of me wants this to be my sole memory of seeing her live. Hard to explain. She used to play up in Corvallis, Oregon at about the same time-- 1975-77, and I saw her in a coffee shop playing bluegrass, while I was living there. She was relatively unknown then, but it was hard to forget that face! And that voice. I loved her back-up singing Dylan's Desire alblum. She makes Oh, Sister simply haunting in its heart-feltness. When I play it, I usually end up play it over it over and over -- its textures are so gorgeous. Just found this: Oh, Sister became a concert favorite during the fall tour preceding Desire's release. Tim Riley noted that it was the first time Dylan had invoked God as a method of wooing a woman, and that with Emmylou Harris, the song became a discourse on the fragility of love. Harris's vocal on the final mix was actually overdubbed a day later, one of the few overdubs made during the Desire sessions. Also loved a interview with her, Nanci Griffith, and some other great singers of that genre, toasting (then recently deseased great singer/songwriter) Kate Wolfe. If you don't know Kate, check her out. North Bay Area (SF) coffee-house acoustic guitar, folkish, strong lyrics, melodies that can make you smile all day. Some stuff is ok --- some sublime.

[FairfieldLife] Re: 'The Da Vinci Code' = Mary Magdalene Enlightened ?
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Truth at the Heart of 'The Da Vinci Code' Religious historian Elaine Pagels says what is important about The Da Vinci Code is not what the movie got wrong, but what it got right. http://www.npr.org/search.php?text=pagels Perhaps the one very important thing found In the Gnostic gospels are the words below: It seems that Jesus taught Mary how to enter the SILENCE and that perhaps she was Awakened/Enlightened; and perhaps the only one Enlightened at least from this gospel because toward the end of it, the disciples had difficulty believing her words which seemed like a description of Enlightenment. For me the main significance of The Da Vinci Code is that it brought my attention to the found Gnostic Gospels thanks to Rick's post. Below is my extraction: >From The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene http://www.gnosis.org/library/marygosp.htm Chapter 5: 5) Peter said to Mary, Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of woman. 6) Tell us the words of the Savior which you remember which you know, but we do not, nor have we heard them. 7) Mary answered and said, What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you. my extraction of what seems most significant: Chapter 8: 21) The soul answered and said, What binds me has been slain, and what turns me about has been overcome, 22) and my desire has been ended, and ignorance has died. 23) In a aeon I was released from a world, and in a Type from a type, and from the fetter of oblivion which is transient. 24) From this time on will I attain to the rest of the time, of the season, of the aeon, in SILENCE. Chapter 9: 1) When Mary had said this, she fell SILENT, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her. I haven't read the rest of the Gnostic gospels. God Bless, Anatol PS ~ The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene: ( I left some things out; see the link for the whole gospel ) Chapter 5: 5) Peter said to Mary, Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of woman. 6) Tell us the words of the Savior which you remember which you know, but we do not, nor have we heard them. 7) Mary answered and said, What is hidden from you I will proclaim to you. 8) And she began to speak to them these words: I, she said, I saw the Lord in a vision and I said to Him, Lord I saw you today in a vision. He answered and said to me, 9) Blessed are you that you did not waver at the sight of Me. For where the mind is there is the treasure. 10) I said to Him, Lord, how does he who sees the vision see it, through the soul or through the spirit? 11) The Savior answered and said, He does not see through the soul nor through the spirit, but the mind that is between the two that is what sees the vision and it is [...] (pages 11 - 14 are missing from the manuscript) Chapter 8: . . . it. 10) And desire said, I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending. Why do you lie since you belong to me? 11) The soul answered and said, I saw you. You did not see me nor recognize me. I served you as a garment and you did not know me. 12) When it said this, it (the soul) went away rejoicing greatly. 13) Again it came to the third power, which is called ignorance. 14) The power questioned the soul, saying, Where are you going? In wickedness are you bound. But you are bound; do not judge! 15) And the soul said, Why do you judge me, although I have not judged? 16) I was bound, though I have not bound. 17) I was not recognized. But I have recognized that the All is being dissolved, both the earthly things and the heavenly. 18) When the soul had overcome the third power, it went upwards and saw the fourth power, which took seven forms. 19) The first form is darkness, the second desire, the third ignorance, the fourth is the excitement of death, the fifth is the kingdom of the flesh, the sixth is the foolish wisdom of flesh, the seventh is the wrathful wisdom. These are the seven powers of wrath. 20) They asked the soul, Whence do you come slayer of men, or where are you going, conqueror of space? 21) The soul answered and said, What binds me has been slain, and what turns me about has been overcome, 22) and my desire has been ended, and ignorance has died. 23) In a aeon I was released from a world, and in a Type from a type, and from the fetter of oblivion which is transient. 24) From this time on will I attain to the rest of the time, of the season, of the aeon, in SILENCE. Chapter 9 1) When Mary had said this, she fell silent( ENTERED THE SILENCE; my add ), since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her. 2) But Andrew answered and said to the brethren, Say what you wish to say about what she has said.

[FairfieldLife] Re: 'The Da Vinci Code' = Mary Magdalene Enlightened ?
---On the Gnostic Gospels.. Right, Pagels has the truth correct, in terms of Gnostism,(IMO); but it's debatable whether Jesus Himself taught any form of Gnosticism. Various experts, Pagels included, are well aware that various Scriptures that have come down to us may have been written by ghost writers using a recognized name of another person. This may even be true of some of Paul's letters. Thus, it's not surprising that due to the passage of time since the death of Jesus, say 60-100 years, and the different location (most of the Gnostic Gospels have a Coptic Egyptian origin); somebody just suited their fancy by dreaming up various Scriptures, placing words in the mouth of Jesus. The question of whether Jesus actually did preach a form of Gnosticism, secretly or otherwise, is open to debate. Personally, it makes little difference to me in terms of personal practice, since I'm fully in the Gnostic camp, (being a Buddhist); which is closer to Gnostism by far than to the orthodox Christianity preached by Paul.

Chapter 9: 1) When Mary had said this, she fell SILENT, since it was to this point that the Savior had spoken with her. I haven't read the rest of the Gnostic gospels.

He answered and said to me, 9) Blessed are you that you did not waver at the sight of Me. For where the mind is there is the treasure. 10) I said to Him, Lord, how does he who sees the vision see it, through the soul or through the spirit? 11) The Savior answered and said, He does not see through the soul nor through the spirit, but the mind that is between the two that is what sees the vision and it is [...] (pages 11 - 14 are missing from the manuscript) Chapter 8: . . . it. 10) And desire said, I did not see you descending, but now I see you ascending.

[FairfieldLife] Re: More on Armstrong, with a word from Einstein
I heard some Little Walter on the radio the other day that knocked me right on my tail but wasn't able to catch the name of the album. The two biggest Chicago harp players are Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson II. Little Walter is from Louisiana and has a very jazzy style where he holds the mike cupped in his hands with his harp giving it an organ-like effect. His biggest hit was Juke and this link on Amazon gives you a taste of his style. Most harp players think he is God. I couldn't find a video but here are some songs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B02OBZ/sr=8-2/qid=1149472876/ref=pd_bbs_2/102-4458199-6191348?%5Fencoding=UTF8 But my harp Ista Deva comes in the form of Sonny Boy Williamson II from Mississippi. He played an acoustic style away from the mike which gives the true harp sound. He was a great song writer and a funny guy. He is also the single coolest man I have ever seen on film. On some videos he puts the harp all the way into his mouth and keeps playing it so he can snap his fingers. I love this guy and this film captures it. Two great songs by my harp hero. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgkUaHT4gHssearch=sonny%20boy%20williamson --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@ wrote: Nice description of the great things about this music.

[FairfieldLife] An Inconvenient Truth according to Roger Ebert
Title: An Inconvenient Truth according to Roger Ebert AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH By Roger Ebert dailykos.com June 2, 2006 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6/2/19318/43872 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6/2/19318/43872 I want to write this review so every reader will begin it and finish it. I am a liberal, but I do not intend this as a review reflecting any kind of politics. It reflects the truth as I understand it, and it represents, I believe, agreement among the world's experts. Global warming is real. It is caused by human activity. Mankind and its governments must begin immediate action to halt and reverse it. If we do nothing, in about 10 years the planet may reach a tipping point and begin a slide toward destruction of our civilization and most of the other species on this planet. After that point is reached, it would be too late for any action. These facts are stated by Al Gore in the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Forget he ever ran for office. Consider him a concerned man speaking out on the approaching crisis. There is no controversy about these facts, he says in the film. Out of 925 recent articles in peer-review scientific journals about global warming, there was no disagreement. Zero. He stands on a stage before a vast screen, in front of an audience. The documentary is based on a speech he has been developing for six years, and is supported by dramatic visuals. He shows the famous photograph Earthrise, taken from space by the first American astronauts. Then he shows a series of later space photographs, clearly indicating that glaciers and lakes are shrinking, snows are melting, shorelines are retreating. He provides statistics: The 10 warmest years in history were in the last 14 years. Last year South America experienced its first hurricane. Japan and the Pacific are setting records for typhoons. Hurricane Katrina passed over Florida, doubled back over the Gulf, picked up strength from unusually warm Gulf waters, and went from Category 3 to Category 5. There are changes in the Gulf Stream and the jet stream. Cores of polar ice show that carbon dioxide is much, much higher than ever before in a quarter of a million years. It was once thought that such things went in cycles. Gore stands in front of a graph showing the ups and downs of carbon dioxide over the centuries. Yes, there is a cyclical pattern. Then, in recent years, the graph turns up and keeps going up, higher and higher, off the chart. The primary man-made cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels. We are taking energy stored over hundreds of millions of years in the form of coal, gas and oil, and releasing it suddenly. This causes global warming, and there is a pass-along effect. Since glaciers and snow reflect sunlight but sea water absorbs it, the more the ice melts, the more of the sun's energy is retained by the sea. Gore says that although there is 100 percent agreement among scientists, a database search of newspaper and magazine articles shows that 57 percent question the fact of global warming, while 43 percent support it. These figures are the result, he says, of a disinformation campaign started in the 1990s by the energy industries to reposition global warming as a debate. It is the same strategy used for years by the defenders of tobacco. My father was a Luckys smoker who died of lung cancer in 1960, and 20 years later it was still debatable that there was a link between smoking and lung cancer. Now we are talking about the death of the future, starting in the lives of those now living. The world won't 'end' overnight in 10 years, Gore says. But a point will have been passed, and there will be an irreversible slide into destruction. In England, Sir James Lovelock, the scientist who proposed the Gaia hypothesis (that the planet functions like a living organism), has published a new book saying that in 100 years mankind will be reduced to a few breeding couples at the Poles. Gore thinks that's too pessimistic. We can turn this around just as we reversed the hole in the ozone layer. But it takes action right now, and politicians in every nation must have the courage to do what is necessary. It is not a political issue. It is a moral issue. When I said I was going to a press screening of An Inconvenient Truth, a friend said, Al Gore talking about the environment! Bor...ing! This is not a boring film. The director, Davis Guggenheim, uses words, images and Gore's concise litany of facts to build a film that is fascinating and relentless. In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to. Am I acting as an advocate in this review? Yes, I am. I believe that to be impartial and balanced on global warming means one must take a position like Gore's. There is no other view that can be defended. Sen. James Inhofe

If there was an organic-industry standard board or something whereby -- I don't know -- people with a reputation for determining proper organics could sit on such a board, then THEY could set the standard and not the government. Then Wal-Mart would have to play by their rules. Can't blame Wal-Mart for trying to bring down prices and squeezing their capitalist suppliers and capitalist growers. The Maharishi Organic ratings people assign 3 separate ratings: us organic, european organic, and Maharishi Organic, which combines the requirements of hte first two plus various vedic thingies. I understand there's other independent rating systems out there also. There you go. We don't need no stinkin' FDA approval...

I mostly listen to radio stations that specialize in these areas, and I follow other people's recommendations. I'm trying to get to the point where I know what I like well enough to buy some CDs. Rosa Passos really hit the spot, so that was a good start. Ever listen to African music. particularly from Mali? Not that I know of, but I'm willing to give it a try.

She is NOT a self-made woman and wouldn't even be a U.S. Senator if it weren't for her connection to a man. Who would you rather have be a role model for your daughter and run your country? Are you saying that Condi would be Sec of State if she wasn't an old friend of GW's? She's NOT an old friend of GW.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: 'The Da Vinci Code' = Mary Magdalene Enlightened ?
In a message dated 6/4/06 7:50:58 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: ---On the Gnostic Gospels.. Right, Pagels has the "truth" correct, in terms of Gnostism,(IMO); but it's debatable whether Jesus Himself taught any form of Gnosticism. Various experts, Pagels included, are well aware that various "Scriptures" that have come down to us may have been written by ghost writers using a recognized name of another person. This may even be true of some of Paul's letters. Thus, it's not surprising that due to the passage of time since the death of Jesus, say 60-100 years, and the different location (most of the Gnostic Gospels have a Coptic Egyptian origin); somebody just suited their fancy by dreaming up various Scriptures, placing words in the mouth of Jesus. The question of whether Jesus actually did preach a form of Gnosticism, secretly or otherwise, is open to debate. Personally, it makes little difference to me in terms of personal practice, since I'm fully in the "Gnostic" camp, (being a Buddhist); which is closer to Gnostism by far than to the orthodox Christianity preached by Paul. A lot of the programming I've been seeing lately concerning the Gnostic Gospels claims that most, if not all, were written between 100 and 200 A.D. And as you have said, by writers that claim to have been the Apostles, long after they would have been dead. How did Judas write a Gospel when it is said he committed suicide after Jesus was arrested and condemned? The gospels of Mathew , Mark, Luke and John are historically believed to have been written between 30 and 64 A.D., during their life times.

That's the kind of blues, and the kind of harp, I like best. I can see why he's your hero. What an incredible instrument the harp is. I liked the piano player in the second number too. The wholeness of what happens with all those totally different instruments is mind-blowing. (Wish to God I know [what] like I know now?) Is Williamson still with us? Those are wonderful videos, but they look fairly recent. I didn't know they made videos of classic-type blues. Thanks! Would you recommend a particular Williamson CD? Last summer there was a blues trio--guitar, bass, drums--came and played on the boardwalk here over the July 4 weekend. Three fairly scruffy post-middle- aged white guys, really pretty good, played this general type of thing, what I think of as real blues, not blues rock. I didn't get their name, don't know if they even had a name. Don't think they had a CD, just three local guys. I hope they come again this summer.
