This post got me wondering: Are there any Vastu studies?  Ayur Veda,
Yagya or Joitish studies?  Are these aspects marketed separately or
are they mentioned on the 3rd day of checking?

Are these programs marketed solely on the premise of authority, i.e.
Vedic tradition, or is there any attempt to give it the same
scientific legitimacy claimed by the TM technique?

Are Fairfielders abandoning non-vastu homes in any numbers?  Is is
causing a drop in prices for non-vastu homes?  What an interesting
component to a real estate market!  The Hong Kong market is totally
driven by Feng Shui.

Bingo! I probably would have been taking Amrit since the 
eighties on a daily basis if it had been about 15-20 dollars for a months 
supply. However I have only bought it a couple of times and once was in India 
for about 18 or 19 dollars.

Looks like vastu homes are still in demand here, though the new
construction is more concentrated in smaller homes.  The high priced
S-ved home market may be getting close to tapped out.

THE RITALIN WAR
MAIL BAG
 
THANKS VERY MUCH for presenting an interesting article on the war 
against the "legal" drugging of school kids. First off, I do not 
share the opinion that all drugs are bad and that we should never use 
any drug. However, to use mind-altering drugs on schoolchildren is 
quite another matter. When one really looks into this issue of 
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, one finds that there is no 
real medical evidence that this disease actually exists. What we do 
have is a label put on kids who don't sit still and do their 
homework. Has this changed over the past 100 years? Hardly! Now add a 
poor diet and sugary soft drinks. Why would we take for granted the 
opinion from some person in a white coat, advocating putting our kids 
on drugs rather than feeding them better? Simple. We've been 
bamboozled into believing that control of our kids is just a pill 
away.
Dr. Joel Parker, Vancouver

DANYLO HAWALESHKA'S article about Danielle Lavigueur and her son 
Gabriel ("A new war over Ritalin," Health, May 15) has more to do 
with how controversial Scientology is than with how dangerous Ritalin 
is. As a father of three and a man who is concerned about the future 
of our kids, I have talked with thousands of parents about the very 
same thing this article should be focused on -- the over-drugging of 
our kids with these dangerous psychotropic drugs and the coercion 
used to make the kids take them. I have met parents and relatives of 
suicide victims using these dangerous drugs, and countless others who 
have experienced severe side effects, including permanent brain 
damage. Nobody cared what my religion was and I didn't care what 
their religion was. All I cared about was that parents were getting 
educated about the truth of what these drugs do to their kids.

Usually only if they suffer a financial setback, such as a divorce. Otherwise, SV homes are still being build, especially smaller ones and condos for the middle income folks. These are now beginning to replace the Utopia Park trailers.

Quite a few Maharishi (and non-Maharishi)
Ayur-Veda studies; haven't heard of any on
the rest.  Ayur-Veda is a lot easier to do
standard research on because there's an
established scientific methodology in the
area of health and medicine.  They'd have to
invent a whole new set of methodologies to
study Vastu, Yagyas, or Jyotish in anything
remotely resembling a scientific manner.

I'd guess it would be next to impossible because
of the huge number of variables.  There have been
lots of statistical studies of Western astrology,
at least, but none of them are very convincing.

[FairfieldLife] Re: NYC TM News

Thanks. I was thinking they might try because the sociological studies
on the 1% effect use metodologies that might be used.  It seems like
an area for statistical analysis. I guess by the time someone is
buying a yagya that kind of proof is not relevant, and the general
public wont get into it without TM anyway.  So who would care about
studies?  I may be the only one!

[FairfieldLife] A more complete version of Muktananda's talk on Maharishi in the late '70s

2006-06-07 Thread mcjrich

In the late 1970's during Muktananda's visit to Australia, a group 
of Governors and Sidhas in Melbourne were requested by Maharishi to 
go and pay their respect to Muktananda.  Maharishi instructed them 
to take flowers and garlands and present these to Muktananda and 
give him Maharishi's regards.  It was said that the two Masters came 
from the same Tradition, the Shankaracharya Tradition of Jyotir Math.
Muktananda showed them great respect as a group and received the 
delegation at a private meeting.

A lady present at this meeting remembers with joy and reverence Baba 
Muktananda's beautiful words.

During this private meeting, Muktananda told the TM group, 
"Maharishi and I are very different".

He continued, "I am here to offer a small group of people (my 
devotees) the path of liberation through devotion (the path of 
Bhakti).  I come and give my people darshan (shaktipat), I soak up 
their stress (karma) and process that stress(karma)for them."

Muktananda explained that the illness he suffered from during his 
visit to Melbourne and for which he had to be rushed to hospital, 
was due to the stress (karma) he takes on from his devotees.  It
was a question about this event which gave birth to the following 
discourse:

"Maharishi is here for the world.  You may never see Maharishi 
yourself, but what Maharishi has given you is a technique to clean 
your own self.

My disciples have to be physically with me (in my presence).  
Maharishi has given you a technique to cleanse and purify yourselves 
and it is not just for yourselves, it is a technique to cleanse the 
whole world (collective consciousness).

Your path (TM and TM Sidhis etc) may be somewhat lonely, because you 
are doing the work (evolution) yourselves and you are self 
sufficient. You are responsible for your own path whereas my 
followers come to me and I do the work for them.

I am full of admiration for anyone on your path.

It is a path of great responsibility.  What I am doing is personally 
taking care of a small group of people, but what Maharishi is doing 
is giving the world a path to move to a new level, a higher level.  
I have full admiration for Maharishi and for each of you.

Some of you may never see your Master but this does not matter 
because he has given you the Supreme Gift, which is self 
sufficiency.  It takes strength and determination to pursue this 
path on a daily basis.  But you have the path of Self Sufficiency 
and it saves you and others also.  It affects the whole world."

Muktananda was very insistent on this point, that he was only here 
for a small group of people whereas Maharishi was here for the good 
of Mankind.

"My path is more nurturing because my devotees have me.  It is 
easier because I am here for them. What you have from Maharishi is 
fully comprehensive and you need only to do your practice.  I 
congratulate each of you for being so courageous, for being 
responsible for your own personal growth and that of the world."

Muktananda emphasised again that he was only here in the world for 
his group of devotees but Maharishi was here for the world.

"Maharishi's path is unique.  You only need to do what he has asked 
you to practise. It is glorious but it is not easy to be self 
sufficient.
Devotion must be in the heart rather than physically sitting at the 
foot of the Master.  Devotion must be in your heart.  This is 
because Maharishi is here for the whole world."

[FairfieldLife] Re: Brain chemistry

2006-06-07 Thread wayback71

IMO, hyperactivity is a bit more complicated that avoiding sugar and eating a 
better diet.  
The brain and nutrition and genetic predisposition are probabloy all involved 
in ADHD.  
However, much like autism, there is lots of research going on, but no real 
answers...yet. If 
it was so easy to fix ADHD, I am sure that all the many wonderful and concerned 
parents 
would have gotten successful outcomes without resorting to ritalin or other 
similar drugs.  
Seriously ADHD children (as opposed to the more mild cases where medication is 
probably 
a mistake) are not pleasant to be around - for family, friends or teachers. 
They disrupt 
family life terribly, end up with few if any friends, get bad grades, often 
"give up" by early 
adolescence in school.  They lose everything, don't turn in the homework that 
they do 
manage to complete, can be rude and unkind (not intentionally) and have a bad 
time of it, 
make learning by classmates almost impossible.  These kids need help and 
relief, and if 
after trying all the natural stuff in the world they are left on the fringes, 
unable to learn or 
have relationships, a bit of ritalin everyday seems like a good thing to me.  
while I do not have children with ADHD, I know several people who do and have 
watched 
things unravel over the years.  In adulthood, this can be much worse than a 
learning 
disabiity in reall life of working and earning money and having a basic life.

I resemble this remark. One reason why I'm still doing TM is because the 
contrast between 
TM and not-TM, between doing it every day and forgetting to do it, is so 
dramatic. First 
thing my mother would ask me over a 30 year period when I got out of control 
was: "did 
you meditate today?"

They'd have to be statistical, but statistics for
what?  The ME studies used statistics on effects for
very large populations--crime rate, international
hostilities, and so on--whereas the purported effects
of Vastu and Yagyas and Jyotish are on individuals.

I think they'd have to be done more along the lines
of the standard studies on the effects of TM--better
relationships, greater creativity, less anxiety, etc.
etc.--but again, the great number of potential variables
is a problem.  Even the independent variable (I think
it's called--i.e., the "technique" itself) varies.
Everybody does TM the same way, but every Vastu home
is different, for example.

Oh, I dunno, if it were possible to do convincing
scientific studies you might get some in the general
public to give yagyas a shot.

Come to think of it, have there been studies on
Feng Shui?  You said in another post the Hong
Kong housing market is heavily influenced by
Feng Shui.  Is that just because it's a cultural
tradition, or is there some evidence that it 
works?

[FairfieldLife] Spiritual Knowledge - Concepts Of Science

2006-06-07 Thread surya

Science is the logical analysis of the items existing in this 
creation based on only one authority that is perception (Pratyaksha 
Pramanam). Even in the ancient logic, all the authorities (Pramanas) 
are based on perception only. You see the fire giving smoke. This is 
deduction or perception. When you see the smoke coming from a 
distance and do not see the fire, you say that fire exists there and 
this is induction or inference (Anumana Pramanam). But this 
induction is based on your previous deduction only. Somebody says to 
you that fire gives smoke. If that person is your dearest, you 
believe it and infer the fire from the smoke. This is authority of 
word `Shabdha Pramanam'.

Though you have not seen the fire, your dearest person has seen the 
smoke coming from fire. Like this all the authorities are based on 
perception only. I do not find any scripture of any Religion, which 
contradicts the experience of perception. There are four ways of 
authority. 1) Sruthi, which is the original scripture. 2) Smrithi, 
which is the commentaries of Scholars on the original scripture. 3) 
Yukthi, the logical analysis based on deduction, induction etc., 4) 
Anubhava, the experience based on the perception of the items in 
this world, which may be direct or indirect. Out of these four ways, 
the fourth way is the most powerful. If anything contradicts the 
fourth way, that is not valid or it may be a misinterpretation based 
on misunderstanding of the Sruthi or Smrithi or Yukthi. Thus Science 
and Philosophy are not separate. The very frame of the spiritual 
knowledge is Science only. Thus Science is the basic foundation and 
over all underlying structure of all the Scriptures. 

A true Scientist should always stand on the perception and should 
not deny the experience derived by perception. If he denies, he is 
not a scientist. All top most scientists were philosophers and 
spiritual people only. Those scientists have travelled along the 
river of Science and reached its end, which is the ocean of 
spiritual knowledge called as philosophy. Philosophy is pervading 
all the branches of Science. Every branch of Science gives Ph.D as 
the final degree. Ph.D means Doctor in Philosophy. If Science and 
Philosophy are different, why this word Philosophy is regarded so 
much by all the branches of Science? Philosophy means the essence of 
the knowledge of every branch that is experienced when one reaches 
the end of that branch. 

Therefore, the spiritual knowledge, which is the ocean is the 
Philosophy in which all branches of Science and all the Religions 
merge and loose their identity. A scientist who has not reached the 
end of Science and who is still travelling in the river only denies 
the existence of the ocean, since he is still perceiving the 
limiting boundaries of his knowledge  river. Such river-travellers 
are called as atheists. They neither see the ocean nor see the other 
rivers. Even the follower of any particular Religion is in the state 
of this atheist only. He is no better than these atheists because he 
believes that God is a particular form only, which is a small part 
of this creation. Some other followers believe God as formless, who 
is the all-pervading cosmic energy. Since cosmic energy is also a 
part of the creation, their form of God is very big. These atheist-
scientist believe that this creation is God. Thus all these are 
atheists only. All these atheists, who may be scientific atheists or 
religious atheists, will realize the true nature of God only when 
they reach the end of the Science or Religion. 

A scientific atheist is contradicting his own authority, which is 
the perception. When the human incarnation performs the inexplicable 
miracles, how can they deny the perception of such miracles? You may 
do that miracle in an alternative way, but that does not contradict 
the different path of the original miracle. One may get first class 
by copying. Such false first class cannot contradict the genuine 
first class. The result is same, but the process is different. You 
may produce ash by putting a fine powder of wet salt in the grews of 
your hand like a magician. The same ash may be produced by a divine 
miracle also. Since the result is same, can you argue that the 
process also should be same? Since the first class result is same in 
the case of the original student and a fraud student, do you mean 
that the hard work of the original student is fraud? 

Do you mean that the original and fraud students are one and the 
same? Therefore, the same result can have two different processes. 
Since the result is same, processes need not be same. Do you mean 
that a result has only one process? Is it not contradicting the very 
fundamentals of Science? A Chemical compound can be produced in 
several ways (Hess Law). Since the compound is same, do you mean 
that the alternative reactions are also one and the same? Same 
Chennai city can be reached by several ways. Since the end City

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: amrit from india?

Curtis,
I haven't noticed any groundswell of people moving to SV homes, there are plenty of meditators living in town who are perfectly happy with their homes, just as they were before all this started.  The ones buying or otherwise living in the SV houses seem to be either people who were living on campus before, and can't now due to the fact that many of the buildings are gone, or those who basically had their homes given to them, like I would imagine the Wynnes and some others have, and also a number who moved here within the last few years. Maybe someone else can provide more insights.

 Are Fairfielders abandoning non-vastu homes in any numbers? Is is

 component to a real estate market! The Hong Kong market is totally
 driven by Feng Shui.

I see it as quite far from impossible as far as Vastu
is concerned. You can control the variables. I think
the main problem would finding enough Vastu "correct"

Doesn't Maharishi Vastu (or whatever its called) use remedials?  I 
mentioned to my guru all the cheap houses that were for sale because 
they weren't vastu compliant in Fairfield when I visited there and he 
said there are remedials for that if you can't remodel the house or move 
to a better property.

Yeah I agree.  Plus there is no need to market this product with 
this approach.  It is the wrong pitch for the group with the money 
to spend on it and the desire.

 Come to think of it, have there been studies on

I have never heard of any, but I seriously doubt it.  It is based on 
a whole system of graft with the Feng Shui masters.  They run on 
a "better pay the Feng Shui master or he will say your building is 
cursed" blackmail system from what I have read.  No one is seriously 
interested in Western science's opinion.  The tradition goes back so 
far.  But it is interesting that it has perpetuated itself till 
today.  

 Oh, I dunno, if it were possible to do convincing

I don't know how successful the 1% research was for the public.  
I suspect the yagya research would be similar.  You would have to 
believe in the general principle I think, even to be interested 
enough to get into the research.  Even diet research seems to have 
trouble convincing the public of anything, and that is so much more 
concrete.

I wondered how far scientific language marketing approach went, if 
the new stuff was being marketed the same way.  I don't suspect that 
the science angle on this new stuff is important for most sidhas. It 
wasn't ultimately very important for my practice after the first few 
years.  It had a big influence on me starting though.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: amrit from india?

Hey, as far as the winters go, I doubt they're much worse than DC's--those could get pretty harsh.  Springs are lovely there, though, apart from the tornadoes, one of which sliced right through my neighborhood a year before I Ieft.

And about the rus-- don't worry, most of the fanatics have long ago been either locked out or locked up. :)

Curtis,
That was from the message I copied; I am not on 33, only 19, and I'm just about to cancel out of about 3.

I doubt you'd be too interested in my favorites: knitting, weaving, parenting...and FF Life. :)

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: amrit from india?

It's definitely cold here, and maybe I expected too much from DC--but with it being a bit farther south and all, I thought the winters would be considerably warmer.  Maybe there wasn't as much wind, but the snow and cold were pretty similar, or so I thought at the time.

  homes are still in demand here, though the newconstruction is more 
  concentrated in smaller homes. The high pricedS-ved home market may be 
  getting close to tapped out.

There are two S-Vedic buildings under construction at the 
Capitol in Navasota Texas. There was a corner stone laying ceremony done for 
each and there was nothing "vedic" about it other than they placed some gems and 
grains in a packet under the corner stones and every body expressed their desire 
for the success of the building. Seems that if they are going to advertise 
something is strictly "Vedic", there would have been a priest performing the 
yagya and reciting the appropriate mantras in the corner stone laying. But maybe 
this is just a set up for why these buildings need to be replaced and were not 
effective later on down the road. You Know M, "well begun is half done". This 
was not well begun, it was mood making.

What a wonderful post!

When Muktananda visited Seelisberg in the early '70, Muktananda said 
(not a direct qoute): I was asked about Maharishim but I said I have 
not met him. Now that I have, I know that if you stay on board this 
ship, Maharishi will take you safe across the ocean.

Apparently it was a very interesting meeting. Muktananda jumped on to 
Maharishis couch, hugged him and presented exclusive gifts. Maharishi 
apparantly found this behaviour so hilarious and was laughing so much 
he almost fell off the couch. :-)

Well, I said *convincing* scientific studies.  I
honestly don't think it's possible, either for the
Maharishi Effect or Vastu and so on.

Damn stuff *changes* every other day, it seems.  People
get confused and give up.

Me too.  I wouldn't have come near TM if it hadn't
been for the scientific research.  But beyond TM
and the TM-Sidhis, I'm really not tempted by yagyas
and stuff.  Had my Jyotish chart done once, but it
didn't tell me anything useful.  If I had money
to burn, it might be fun to experiment, though.

[FairfieldLife] Re: amrit from india?

I think you are right.  I had a cerimony like this in my house back 
when I was into it all.  A pundit came and we have a big dung 
burning party to make sure the house wasn't over any old grave 
sites, to avoid the polltergeist effect!  He was a nice old guy and 
it was a nice party with TM friends helping throw in the dung and 
sing some whatever-namahs!  It was more entertaining than a kareoke 
dude and about the same price.

The fun way would be to go to India and see it all.  That way you 
would at least get a fascinating experience out of it.  They can 
really put on a show!

Don't I remember that several winters ago D.C. had
a whole two inches of snow, and it just about closed
the city down?  I was still living in NYC at the time,
and we all thought that was very funny.  They *really*
hooted up in Boston.  That was the way we got it from

Hainvg been away from the Fairfield and TM movement

What do you mean?  Those dung-burning parties work
*very* well at keeping away the poltergeists.

You never had any poltergeists, did you, Curtis?

This made me laugh and reminded me of an experience I had here in FF 
back in '97.

I attended a Vedic ceremony at the site of what was to be the 
international headquarters of USA Global Link. Chris Hartnett 
purchased a big piece of land out in the center of one of the 
mandalas. (First left after you turn right off of airport road.) This 
piece of land is directly in front of the headquarters of the Global 
Country of World Peace mansion that was originally purchased for King 
Tony (remember that fundraising campaign?).

A contractor with a large backhoe dug a VERY DEEP hole into the mud. 
A tall ladder was placed down into the hole so that Holland Taylor 
and Larry Chroman could crawl down into the earth and place some gold-
painted bricks symbolizing something (I do not remember what) into 
the hole. A puja was performed in the back of Doug Greenfield's SUV 
and other items (no humans, ha, ha) were thrown into the hole. After 
the ceremony, the ladder was removed and the hole was filled in. Then 
we all enjoyed cookies and juice. You can still see where the 
foundation of the USA Global Link building sits, surrounded by weeds 
and an orange fence.

[FairfieldLife] Discovering YouTube

I'm finding all *kinds* of neat stuff on YouTube.
I had thought it was mostly teenagers' home videos
of Stupid Human Tricks and MTV-type music videos,
but after I stumbled across an old Dave Brubeck
video on somebody's blog, and Curtis sent me to a
terrific Sonny Williamson II video, I started
poking around to see what else might be there.

It's addictive.  I can hardly tear myself away.
Here's a few of my finds:


A real treasure--M.S. Subbulakshmi singing
"Maitreem Bhajata":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbBBNRT4VKg


And a very different treasure, Bessie Smith
singing "St. Louis Blues":
http://tinyurl.com/jf8z2


Physicist Richard Feynman in a charming,
informal short talk analogizing scientific
exploration to figuring out the rules of
chess by observing a game, with a neat twist
at the end:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub042xIT7a0


Enrico Caruso singing "Vesti la giubba" from
"I Pagliacci."  After this, they should have
retired the number; nobody ever needed to sing
it again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0hX-8KSVOo


Something for everybody.  What an amazing site.
The best way to explore it, I've found, is via
playlist categories, not the general categories.
Every video on a playlist has a "Related playlists"
link.  If you find a playlist with a number of
videos you like, chances are the related playlists
will also have neat stuff in that category, but
they may also branch out and include surprises
from entirely different categories.  I found the
Subbulakshmi and Feynman videos via playlists
related to a playlist in the Classical Music
category.

There's a bunch of other good Carnatic music
videos, BTW.  If anyone's interested, I'll post
links to some of those as well.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Discovering YouTube

I got totally lost on this site when I was looking for the Sonny Boy 
to send you.  I can't figure out how to navigate if you don't have a 
name.  It all seems mixed together.  Some of the home videos are 
really funny too but it is endless.  I'll check out your finds
later.  I know I will not stop there, it is addictive!

Enjoy while you can as the RIAA has YouTube in their crosshairs for 
unlicensed works (such as people using copyrighted music in their video 
without securing the rights).

Thomas Jefferson believed that copyrights and patents should only last 3 
years.

I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until I picked up a book on the subject and 
scored about 
90% on the self-test with my son scoring me about the same. Checked with my 
psychiatrist after I tried an experiment where I drank about a gallon of Dr. 
Pepper and 
suddenly fell asleep, which he thought was a clear indicator.

I have a prescription for aderall which I find to be of use when I go to 
school. Otherwise, I 
dont' like the up-down effect of the stimulant, even though its a time-release 
type med 
(not to mention the potentially deadly side-effects).

I saw the preliminary results of EEG on ADHD kids who learned TM. Before TM, 
there's 
virtually no coherence anywhere in the brain. While doing  TM, the coherence 
goes way up. 
If ADHD kids respond at all like everyone else, there will be a trend towards 
more and 
more EEG coherence outside meditation. EEG coherence indicates that various 
parts of the 
brain are communicating better, which is sorta the antithesis of ADHD. Dr. 
Amit, whose 
book led me to check on ADHD for myself, has done brainscans of his ADHD 
patients. 
There are huge gaps of inactivity of the brain in ADHD patients. If TM is able 
to establish/
stengthen the connections and activity in those regions of the brain, its 
another field of 
health (like stress itself) where TM's effects appear to be opposite of the 
condition.

This goes along with MMY's normalizing/unstressing model.

[FairfieldLife] Re: amrit from india?

2006-06-07 Thread benjaminccollins


You know, this is a great story because it illustrates just how wrong
people get the vedic yagya stuff.  The thinking seems to be "if I do
this yagya or puja, then this result will happen".  And of course it
doesn't.

The way it is supposed to work is that you do the puja or yagya and it
supplements your own efforts; removing obstacles and increasing your
power.  But  have to do the work.

The house purification yagya is called griha pravesham.  It is
actually a lot of fun because you make a fire place in the middle of
the house and then you do the fire yagya and chant all the mantras and
fill the house with smoke to purify it.  The smoke actually smells
really good because of the herb mixture (called havan samagri) and the
ghee.

That gets pretty funny here in LA when I help the priests with this
yagya in some Indian doctor's new huge house and the fire alarms go
off and the smoke is incredibly thick...

The yagya is typically for the 9 planets, Ganesha, and Lakshmi.  If
there are issues with "spirits" then you add in some Sudarshana
(Vishnu's weapon).  At the end, the water in the kalasha pot is
sprinkled in all the rooms to bless them and some of the ash from the
fire is mixed with ghee and a small dot is placed over the entry to
the house to provide protection.

Even fairly traditional Brahmin families make an effort to find a
house with good vastu, do the yagya and then forget about it and just
live their lives.  So there is really a perception that we TMers go a
bit overboard with all this.

I did hear of this, but I prefer the new way, only
because the type is bold and much easier to read than
before - all the other changes they can get rid of.
The biggest problem with the readibility of the new
format is that the messages are only about four inches
wide, pretty narrow for a 21-inch monitor, but I'll
stay with it for now and hope yahoo fixes that
particular problem. Running a monitor at 1600x1200
resolution brings a lot of problems with small text
and narrow margins.

Use the search field up at the top, and use
the drop-down menu next to it to select
Playlists.  If you type "blues" in the search
field, you'll come up with hundreds of playlists
with "blues" in the title. Click on any of them
to see the videos on the playlist.  Or you can
type in the name of a performer and get a list
of playlists containing videos of that performer.

And if you click on a video, to the right there'll
be a list of "Related playlists," which will most
likely contain more videos by the same performer.

You can compile your own playlists by adding
videos to your "Favorites" (you have to register
to do this).  You can make your playlists public,
in which case they'll show up in a search, or
private.

The playlists are often idiosyncratic, so you still
have to wade through a certain amount of stuff that
isn't relevant, but the playlist categories really
narrow down the field.  On the other hand, the
idiosyncrasies can involve treasures you wouldn't
have thought to go looking for.

The Blues playlists have a lot of really classic
stuff.

Here's Son House playing "Death Letter
Blues"--

http://youtube.com/watch?v=enMcysS5ZYY&search=

Big Bill Broonzy--

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JIp7lnDOJ6g

T-Bone Walker, "Call Me When You Need Me"--

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DWbB0Ei5r3U

Muddy Waters, "Got My Mojo Working," 
accompanied by Sonny Boy--

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Dlt9zRC6rnk

Lightnin' Hopkins, "Goin' Down Slow"--
http://youtube.com/watch?v=723V2FFs82Y

And so on.  I took these more or less at
random from one playlist of somebody calling
himself jledbetter.  Here's the URL of his
playlist of over 100 videos, mostly blues:

http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=jledbetter

Then there are also Groups, which I haven't even
explored yet; there's 32 Groups under the Blues
heading.

Bhairitu's probably right, this incredible bounty
isn't likely to last long, alas.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Discovering YouTube

That is so funny.  I was listening to Son House wondering if I should
send it to you because he is so drunk!  Son House is my favorite blues
singer but this is not his best.  

I have been using the search but I think you are right, you just have
to wade through a lot to get the good stuff.

I am going to listen to Lightnin' next.  My original song "Goodbye
Baby" is played in his Texas blues guitar style.

The Internet is really delivering the goods with this site!

Really? One reason I didn't like it is because the type on my messages 
was teeny tiny...and nothing I did seemed to make much of a difference. 
  Also, the messages seemed to take up a lot more room in that format.

Well, there's quite a bit more of his stuff.

At this point, I'm just enjoying most of what
I'm finding.  Time enough to become a connoisseur
later, although pointers to the best of the best
are always welcome.

Oh, man.  And the site hasn't even been around
that long--I don't think it's a year old yet.

It's a java add-on for Firefox so it doesn't work with Explorer.  On my 
laptop I have both Firefox and Explorer though Firefox is the default 
browser.

That's what I thought.  I can't understand why
Vaj would say the download software he was touting
was "for the PC" when it only works with Firefox.
Why send people who use other browsers on a wild
goose chase by not bothering to tell them that?

You know, I keep reading ecstatic reviews of it, and
I haven't seen one feature I have any use for.  I
don't understand the big attraction of "tabbed browsing."
I never have more than three or four, max, browser
windows open at a time, and in IE I just use the buttons
on the taskbar to bring them up.  What's the difference
between clicking on a taskbar button and clicking on
a tab?

I have good security on my machine, don't do a lot of
downloading and then only from trusted sites, don't
visit potentially dangerous sites, generally practice
safe computing, am religious about updating Windows
and my virus and spyware protection, and have never
had a problem (yes, I know there's always a first
time, but sheesh, now the hackers are beginning to
find security flaws in Firefox).

If it has stuff you need that IE doesn't, fine, but
I'm in if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it mode.

Thanks Rick,

I will go there next.  Funny how much stuff I have missed even with my
geekness.  Laura wanted me to say "hi".  She had many nice things to
say about you when she knew you in the movement.  One thing she said
made an impression, she said you were always very non-judgemental and
kind even when you had a lot of movment power.  Nice quality my friend.

I hear you here sista.  I am the last guy to switch operating systems.
 I just figure that since Microsoft is such a target for the forces of
evil that any time I can create some distance, it helps me.   But you
should try it just because it is so easy and you might like it .

Gotta agree. I just got converted to Firefox and
the joys of Tabbed browsing yesterday. Whole new
world. No more opening multiple browser windows
for research purposes or to do cut and paste.

It seems to me it's a south-Indian ("dravidian"?) custom
to change Sanskrit transliteration spelling so that
for instance in words like "smRti" (smriti) and "shruti"  
't' becomes 'th': "smrithi", "shruthi", and so on.
On the other hand, words like "Shiva" and "Shankara"
seem  to be often spelled like "Siva", "Sankara", etc.

Firefox is available for the PC. I'm typing
this on it right now.

It's faster, respects standards more than IE,
already has more useful add-ins than IE, and
let's face it...the Mozilla people can write
tighter code than the Microsoft people in their
sleep.

Seems that they've reverted to the prev/next link-buttons, rather than 
newest/newer/older/

Now if they'd just figure out that there was a reason
for putting a Reply button at the *top* of the text
window as well as at the bottom...

But no...gotta scroll past miles of text to
get to the bottom of the window to reply to a post.

This was a software upgrade quite obviously done by
someone who never uses the software he (it's gotta be
a he) was told to "upgrade." Common problem in the
world of software development, but it shouldn't be
one at Yahoo! They of all people should know better.

Exactly. Rather than working on what's broke (the search
engine, the inability of the default Web text editor 
to deal gracefully with wrapped text or long line lengths,
etc.), they put some noob of a programmer to work "fixing"
what wasn't broke. And then they release it, still untested,
with no announcement or explanation.

Somebody at Yahoo! deserves to be fired over this one. 
It's the latest "New Coke" of software development.

Hey! I take back part of my rant. The 'noob' in question
*was* assigned to work on the Search engine, and seems
to have done a pretty good job of improving it. Praise 
where praise is due.

[FairfieldLife] mounting concerns about TM org in Kansas

2006-06-07 Thread george_deforest

Meditation group brings more tension than harmony to farm town

http://www.whotv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5002842&nav=LotJ
WHO-TV Des Moines   Wed, 07 Jun 2006 7:45 PM PDT

SMITH CENTER, Kan. Followers of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi see his
Transcendental Meditation movement as fostering world harmony.
But in the farm town of Smith Center, Kansas, T-M's plans to build its
"World Capital of Peace" are creating more tension than tranquility.

Folks became alarmed when the group bought up large tracts of land,
and nine local pastors warned the movement that Smith Center is a
Christian community.

Mayor Randy Archer says, "It hasn't split the community, but it has
caused a lot of tension."

The T-M movement plans to build a dozen marble "peace palaces."

Because Transcendental Meditation practitioners want to disperse
"waves of coherence" as widely as possible to influence others, they
chose a spot just ten miles west of the geographic center of the Lower
48 states.
