Dude, YOU are the person who was making excuses for the TMO having illegal policies, not me. All I did was set a couple of TBs up to do so, knowing they would be unable *not* to. The assumption that the TMO is correct came first. The excuses for *why* they are correct came later. *That* is the nature of True Believerism IMO. *That* is what you tend to do, on a regular basis. *That* is all I wanted to point out. If your wings are feeling a little sore, I would suggest that that's because you grew the TB wings in the first place.

[FairfieldLife] Finnish Bush?
Puska = Bush (Dr. Pekka Puska) http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/30/6/1496 Letter to the Editor Editors' Responseexporting failure Shah Ebrahim and George Davey Smith Our editorial described the limited effects of comprehensive cardiovascular disease prevention programmes, widely evaluated in the developed world, and questioned their relevance to developing countries.1 Dr Puska complains that we have not read the findings of the North Karelia study carefully enough. Interpretation of what is shown by the North Karelia study depends on understanding the nature of the intervention, the time frame over which changes were examined, and whether one is primarily interested in `explaining' the changes observed within North Karelia without reference to other studies examining the same question. The intervention comprised five arms: health education, screening, a hypertension programme, `intensification of treatment' (secondary prevention), and rehabilitation, and as such, was focused mainly on individuals rather than the population at large.2 As shown in Table 1 of our editorial, the reductions in risk factors were, in fact, very similar after 10 years intervention in the control and intervention communities.1 CHD mortality trends over the period 1969 to 1995 show a greater decline in North Karelia than the rest of the country, but the 95% confidence intervals for the slopes overlap.3 An intriguing pattern of decline is hidden in the overall trend. First, North Karelia experienced an almost immediate and rapid decline, a rise and a fall in CHD mortality (19711975). Second, rates of decline were significantly greater in the country as a whole than in North Karelia (19761985). Finally, death rates tended to approximate to each other (19861995). Such trends do not provide unambiguous support for the hypothesis that the intervention was effective. --- Methinks the positive results might be much more reliably explained by the intense activity, in the 80's, of Yffers in Finland and elsewhere. Naah, not really... ;-)

Actually, of course, we don't know that the TMO's policies are illegal; that's just Barry's assumption. The three cases Barry mentioned don't even begin to show that, and he won't do any of the work necessary to determine whether the laws in question apply to the TMO's policies, because all he was interested in doing was bashing the TMO, Lawson, and me, not in making a legitimate point. For example, he can't cite the specific laws under which the cases he mentioned were decided. He doesn't even know if they were decided under state or federal law. He doesn't know whether these laws apply to a company's sales force. He also doesn't know whether they apply to independent contractors, which many TM teachers are. Independent contractors are not covered by much of the law that applies to salaried employees. He doesn't know whether the laws in question apply to nonprofits, which the TMO is. In other words, Barry doesn't know what he's talking about, nor does he care. All I did was set a couple of TBs > up to do so, knowing they would be unable > *not* to. > > The assumption that the TMO is correct came > first. The excuses for *why* they are correct > came later. Nor does Barry know this, unless he's perfected the mind-reading siddhi. Nor does that even matter, if the "excuses" (he means "reasons") are valid. But that, again, isn't what Barry's interested in. His purpose is merely to find something with which to demonize anyone who defends the TMO on any basis: *That* is the nature of True > Believerism IMO. *That* is what you tend to > do, on a regular basis. Translation: Barry's assumption that Lawson and I are True Believers came first; the excuses for *why* we are True Believers came later. > *That* is all I wanted to point out. Barry can do all the pointing-out he wants, but that doesn't mean his points have any value. They rarely do, and certainly don't in this case.
[FairfieldLife] Chauffeurs - the gateway to Pure Evil.
Well - the job is virtually done with the incarceration of Osama Bin Laden's chauffeur. The Axis of Evil is effectively castrated. Probably one of the very first thing that you folks would have been taught on your arrival at MIU is that chauffeurs guard the interstitial vortices between the various space time continuums, and control the flow of Pure Evil between interlocking universes. No doubt the Hadron Large Collider will soon be providing further proof, if this were necessary. Well done, President Bush. It is a fitting climax to your 8 year reign. Uns.
[FairfieldLife] Quickies: why is it necessary...
... for PVTM to be able to result to the fourth (praaNaayaama)?
I think that from the TM point of view it's rather necessary
for basic TM to result to the fourth praaNaayaama, because,
it seems to me, that according to Patañjali, that is a conditio
sine qua non, or stuff, for the siddhis.
Why is that? Because /dhaaraNaa/ is the first "stage" of /saMyama/
and, according to YS -- it seems to me -- the fourth (praaNaayaama)
makes /manas/ /yogya/ for /dhaaraNaa/:

The ha-Tha = sun-moon definition comes directly from one of the Natha

The Afghan government has a price on bin Laden's head. Anyone who knowingly conceals information about the killer bin Laden should be arrested, in my opinion, and kept in jail until they reveal everything they know about him. You two need to get some smarts and stop this liberal B.S. Almost every one on the planet wants to stop bin Lasen from killing more innocent people at weddings and funerals.

Well, as an American taxpayer, you gave aid and support to Osama bin Laden when the United States set him up and funded him in Afghanistan when he fought for the Mujahadeen.

Good job, Mr. Bush! (snip) Mr. Bush had a memo, on this date, seven years ago; Warning of an attack on the possibly an airline hijacking; And possible targets in Washington and New York... 9/11 could have been prevented? Anthrax attack, letters sent out one week, after 9/11. Seven years later, suspect commits suicide: case closed. Bush & Co. decides to invade Iraq, and uses false information in order to do so. Bush & Co. work for Big Oil, leaves country bankrupt, corrupted and diminished.

Roberts though a member of the Reagan administration is *not* a fan of the Bush cabal: Do You Feel Safe Now? By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS Now that military officers selected by the Bush Pentagon have reached a split verdict convicting Salim Hamdan, a onetime driver for Osama bin Laden, of supporting terrorism, but innocent of terrorist conspiracy, do you feel safe? Or are we superpower Americans still at risk until we capture bin Laden’s dentist, barber, and the person who installed the carpet in his living room? The Bush Regime with its comic huffings and puffings is unaware that it has made itself the laughing stock of the world, a comedy version of the Third Reich. Hamdan was not defended by the slick lawyers that got O.J. Simpson off, and he most certainly did not have a jury of his peers. Hamdan was defended by a Pentagon appointed US Navy officer, and his jurors were all Pentagon appointed US military officers with an eye on their careers. Even in this Kangaroo Court, Hamdan was cleared of the main charge. The US Navy officer who was Hamdan’s appointed attorney is certainly no terrorist sympathizer. Yet even this United States officer said that the rules Bush designed for the military tribunals were designed to achieve convictions. He also said that the judge allowed evidence that would not have been admitted by any civilian or military US court. He said that the interrogations of Hamdan, which comprised the basis of the Bush Regime’s case, were tainted by coercive tactics, including sleep deprivation and solitary confinement.

James Woods comes to mind as he if I recall has a master degree in mathematics from MIT. They get into these things as it looks more fun than a boring regular job. And with so many graduating with actual acting skills the day of the "just the pretty face that takes 20 takes to get lines right" has well passed. I recall the commentary on "What Dreams May Come" where the director mentioned that it took Robin Williams 9 takes to get things right so they had to shoot a lot of Anabella Sciorra seperately as she is a "one take" actress. As a recording musician on some of the sessions I played a producer might bring in someone who was a newbie at recording and we'd sit their bored waiting for the guy to play his part without flubbing up. We usually had are stuff down by the second take as the first was just a run through to see how it worked. By the time the guy could play his part we were flubbing up because we were bored. Obviously Paris's whole image is a put on. My bet she grew up more geeky and used a makeover artist to look glamorous. This happens all the time.

The site I'm always reading and telling you about has now published a Master Index that contains 180 different articles regarding every aspect of the Bible imaginable, with the following challenge: "IF anyone can provide Scripture that supports their "idea" or claim that anything we have published is not 100% Biblical, email the Verse(s) which prove us wrong and we will publish them. I know from reading this site that A LOT of people have expressed OPINIONS that this, or that, which the site has published is not Scriptural, but when they are told to cite Book, Chapter, and Verse to support their views, they invariably come back obviously citing some Verse completely out of context. And this, believe it or not, is more often than not, usually done by preachers, and/or people claiming to be Bible Scholars. Almost everyone does a lot of criticizing when they first start reading, until they realize that "that" is what the Bible actually says. So, for those who are wanting the pure unadulterated Word, supported by a common logic approach to what is actually stated in the Bible, come get some of exactly that. Same goes for those who would like to have their views and opinions of what the Bible says compared with what it actually does say. Try it out. It has to be the most informative teaching site I have ever found on the internet. http://www.theamericannightmare.org/ONLY__What_It_Actually_Says.html Laura

[FairfieldLife] Bin Laden's Driver Eligible For Release In 5 Months
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba A military jury gave Osama bin Laden's driver a stunningly lenient sentence on Thursday, making him eligible for release in just five months despite the prosecutors' request for a sentence tough enough to frighten terrorists around the globe. Salim Hamdan's sentence of 5 1/2 years, including five years and a month already served at Guantanamo Bay, fell far short of the 30 years to life that prosecutors wanted. It now goes for mandatory review to a Pentagon official who can shorten the sentence but not extend it. It remains unclear what will happen to Hamdan once his sentence is served, since the U.S. military has said it won't release anyone who still represents a threat. The judge, Navy Capt. Keith Allred, said Hamdan would likely be eligible for the same administrative review process as other prisoners. Hamdan thanked the jurors for the sentence and repeated his apology for having served bin Laden. "I would like to apologize one more time to all the members and I would like to thank you for what you have done for me," Hamdan told the panel of six U.S. military officers, hand-picked by the Pentagon for the first U.S. war crimes trial in a half century. The military has not said where Hamdan will serve his sentence, but the commander of the detention center, Navy Rear Adm. David Thomas, said last week that convicted prisoners will be held apart from the general detainee population at the isolated U.S. military base in southeast Cuba. "I hope the day comes that you return to your wife and daughters and your country, and you're able to be a provider, a father, and a husband in the best sense of all those terms," the judge told Hamdan. Hamdan, dressed in a charcoal sports coat and white robe, responded: "God willing." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/07/bin-ladens-driver-gets-5_n_117557.html

[FairfieldLife] Tabloid's Claims Threaten Edwards' Role At Party's Convention
I’m posting this because it has been discussed here. NHNE Wavemaker News List Current Members: 403 Monthly Supporters: 72 Subscribe / unsubscribe / important links at the bottom of this message. TABLOID'S CLAIMS THREATEN EDWARDS' ROLE AT PARTY'S CONVENTION By Mark Johnson Lorenzo Perez and Lisa Zagaroli contributed to this story Charlotte Observer August 6, 2008 http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/46637.html RALEIGH, N.C. - Former Sen. John Edwards has a deadline to save his spot on the national stage. With two weeks to go before their national convention, a number of Democrats are saying that Edwards needs to publicly address National Enquirer stories that have alleged he had an affair with a campaign worker and fathered her baby. If Edwards fails to clear up the story in short order, he risks party officials deciding not to have him speak or, if they do, creating a distraction from a week focused on Barack Obama accepting the nomination. "If there is not an explanation that¹s satisfactory, acceptable and meets high moral standards, the answer is 'no,' he would not be a prime candidate to make a major address to the convention," said Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chair. Democrats gather in Denver on Aug. 25 and Edwards, as the 2004 vice presidential nominee and a presidential candidate who won delegates this year, ordinarily would be locked in as a speaker. "He absolutely does have to (resolve it). If it's not true, he has to issue a stronger denial," said Gary Pearce, the Democratic strategist who ran Edwards¹ 1998 Senate race. "It's a very damaging thing. Š "The big media has tried to be responsible and handle this with kid gloves, but it's clearly getting ready to bust out. If it's not true, he's got to stand up and say, 'This is not true. That is not my child and I'm going to take legal action against the people who are spreading these lies.' It's not enough to say, 'That¹s tabloid trash,' " Pearce said. Edwards is widely regarded as a rousing speaker, particularly on poverty, and still has as many as 19 delegates pledged to him, making him a logical choice for a high-profile convention role under normal circumstances. Convention organizers said Wednesday that the schedule of speakers has not yet been announced. Edwards' political currency declines with each day the story goes unresolved, Fowler and other Democratic strategists said. An appearance at the convention would only highlight the unresolved story, said Chris Lehane, a Democratic consultant and former aide to then-Vice President Al Gore. A convention speaking appearance could become the moment that drives news media coverage of the alleged affair to explode. "You want to address these issues long before you get to that point," Lehane said. "Otherwise people who haven¹t written about it before, now start writing about it." Edwards' decision not to take questions about the alleged affair has allowed doubts to linger and political bloggers to speculate. The National Enquirer has reported that he fathered a child with a former campaign worker and met with her in a Beverly Hills hotel last month. He made no response to the National Enquirer¹s posting on Wednesday of what it said was a photo of Edwards and his illegitimate child. Two weeks ago, after the National Enquirer ran the story about the hotel liaison, he dismissed a reporter¹s question in Houston and used the "tabloid trash" line. He brushed off a McClatchy reporter in Washington last week: "Can't do it now, I'm sorry." His designated staffer for press contacts has not responded to e-mail requests for an interview. No one answered a reporter who rang a buzzer at the gate of Edwards' Orange County home on Wednesday. Friends and former staffers refuse to comment now, though they helped Edwards last fall by dismissing an October story in the Enquirer of a sexual relationship between Edwards and a campaign videographer when it initially broke. "Sorry cannot help you on this one," wrote Jennifer Palmieri, a former top Edwards aide, in an e-mail Wednesday. The Enquirer's October story, citing unnamed sources, claimed that Edwards was having an affair with a woman who had filmed a series of videos during his presidential campaign. The tabloid later reported that she was pregnant. Two weeks ago, the tabloid posted a story online chronicling how Edwards had visited the woman, Rielle Hunter, and their child on July 21 at a Beverly Hills hotel and that the paper¹s reporters confronted him afterward. Hunter posted an online statement at the time denying the October story. In December, a campaign worker for Edwards, Andrew Young, claimed paternity of the woman¹s then-unborn child. Last week, though, the Charlotte Observer obtained a copy of the child's birth certificate, which did not list the father. Hunter's lawyer would say only that "a lot of women do that" and that it was a personal matter between Hunter and Young. Presidential candid

[FairfieldLife] 'Black Hole Experiment set for 9/10'
Large Hadron Collider to start on Sept. 10 This 2007 file photo shows the magnet core of the world's largest superconducting solenoid magnet, part of the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator. Some 2000 scientists from 155 institutes in 36 countries are working together to build the particle detector. (AP Photo/Keystone, Martial Trezzini) The world's biggest particle collider is set to accelerate its first beam of protons on Sept. 10, according to the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The organization, which goes by the French acronym CERN, said the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has completed a cool down phase and is now ready for a few final tests before it begins accelerating, and later colliding, particle beams. "We're finishing a marathon with a sprint," said LHC project leader Lyn Evans in a statement. "It's been a long haul, and we're all eager to get the LHC research program underway." The LHC is expected to be the most powerful tool yet for physicists hoping to uncover the secrets behind the laws of the universe, both on the tiny scale of quantum mechanics and the huge areas affected by galaxies and black holes. The collider, which lies in a 27 kilometre-long circuit underground beneath the Franco-Swiss border, has been built at an estimated cost of $9 billion Cdn. How it will work The accelerator will push two proton beams using a ring of super-cooled magnets to speeds and energies never before reached under controlled conditions and crash them into one another to create and detect a host of new particles. When running at its peak, the LHC will be able to push particles at a top energy of seven tera-electron volts (TeV), or seven million-million electron volts. But for its first test on Sept. 10, the LHC will be running with an injection energy of 450 GeV, or 0.45 TeV. Once the circulating beams have been established — likely in 2009 — the accelerator will move to higher energies. Thousands of researchers from around the world will be working at the LHC to interpret the results of its particle collisions. In particular, they will be looking for signs of the Higgs boson, a previously undetected particle thought to impart mass. Scientists have been searching for it since it was first proposed as part of the Standard Model of physics, a theory used to explain the interaction between electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces, which — along with gravity — make up the four fundamental forces of nature. The detection or lack of detection of this and other particles and even extra dimensions could help scientists back up or disprove current theories of the universe and give us a better understanding of the origin and composition of the universe. Protesters predict disaster The project has also attracted protests in Europe from people who fear the particle collider will trigger a disaster, with some scenarios suggesting the accelerator will create a black hole that will swallow the Earth. The CERN physicists have dismissed these claims, with Evans saying in June: "Obviously, the world will not end when the LHC switches on." Cliff Burgess, a physics and astronomy professor at McMaster University and associate member of the Waterloo-Ont.-based Perimeter Institute, said the collisions at LHC won't be very different from the collisions of cosmic rays and other particles that hit the Earth and travel across the universe. "We understand well how a lot of stars work and have some understanding of how pulsars work, and none of that got screwed up by cosmic rays hitting them," said Burgess. "And cosmic rays can hit at much higher energies." Burgess said even if black holes were created in the LHC, they would almost certainly be tiny and evaporate in the form of radiation.

[FairfieldLife] Testify or Impeach
Dear Friend - On September 26, congressional oversight may be dead. The Constitution that has served our nation so well since 1789 may be hopelessly and forever diminished. Our federal government and, in turn, our nation may never be the same. Those are the stakes. In order for our government to function, we must have checks and balances. In order to prevent a president from assuming king-like powers and to ensure that all presidents are held accountable for their actions, Congress must have effective congressional oversight ability. And, of course, our presidents must respect that power. George W. Bush does not. It is time to put an end to this defiling of our Constitution. The U.S. House of Representatives has set September 26 as a target date for adjournment. By that time, Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, and Josh Bolten must comply with the congressional subpoenas they have been issued - and which a federal judge has ordered them to follow. If they do not, then George W. Bush must be impeached and removed from office. If he is not removed from office, Congress will have established a standard under which a president may deny Congress's investigative power without penalty. That simply cannot happen. That is why I just sent an E-mail to the White House through the American Freedom Campaign's Web site. The simple message is that President Bush must direct his current and former officials to comply with congressional subpoenas or he will deserve -- and if all goes well he will face --impeachment. I urge you to join my in this effort. Just use the following link to send your own message to the White House. http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2165/t/1027/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=2 5316 Thanks for taking action.

Oh, this is precious. Nutwings pushing for the impeachment of a sitting lame-duck president as a presidential election looms. Republicans everywhere must be on their knees praying to God that this idiots continue their campaign. There is no better way to irritate undecided's and to get them into the Republican camp on voting day. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Rick Archer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Friend - > > > > On September 26, congressional oversight may be dead.

The conclusion one should make is that we don't know who owns the mine. Therefore, the person in question is innocent until proven guilty. This is the kind of mentality that Bush made in accusing Hussein of having weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. In making this irresponsible assumption, Bush mad an ass of you, me and the American public.

I am merely pointing out that when I read an article telling me to admire someone for having made money, I tend to want to know HOW he made his money, and whether he might have made it from something like being a mine owner, which in Brazil is pretty much equivalent to being a slaver. For you, the ONLY thing that seemed to matter was that he made a lot of money. As I said at the start, how very TM of you.

It's interesting in that it's one of the few instances (so far) of the actual artist of one of these graphic novels bringing it to the screen. That and a former Miss France playing the part of the blue-haired babe. :-)

As I said at > the start, how very TM of you. Since you clearly don't get what I'm hinting at, John, I'll explain it a little. I'm suggest- ing that when it comes to admiring people, you have very low standards. Your whole *point* in posting the article seemed to be, "See! This guy practices TM and he found an iron ore field and got rich. Voila! TM works! *This* is how 'support of nature' works!" Low standards. If the guy had gotten rich by inventing a tech- nology that freed us from dependence on polluting fossil fuels, I might admire him. If the guy had found a way to get rich by improving the living standards for the people of Brazil as a whole, I might admire him. If the guy had found a cure for cancer, I might have admired him. All he did is make money, and he made his money in a field that -- in his country -- is pretty much synonymous with slavery. World organizations have worked for decades to try to improve the near-slavery-like work and lifestyle conditions of miners in Brazil. So am I supposed to *admire* this person for having made his money this way? No way. But you seem to. The question of HOW he made his money never entered your mind. Having made a bundle of money is ENOUGH for you to admire him. I rest my point, and restate my thesis: How very TM of you, admiring people because they're a member of the same elitist club you are, and made money. Would you admire a TMer if he made his millions as an arms dealer? As a cocaine dealer? I'm betting that the money and the TMer status would be all that mattered to you. Low standards.
