What does it say about evolution, when:
A black widow spidie, diedy,
Gobbles up her mate? (yummy!)
And, prey tell,
When the femme praying mantis does the same, to her lovely mate?
Not a question, for you girls,

In fact, after thinking about this for a while, 
I can't even see fat on a diet like that--maybe
a little plump--or zaftig as we say in French--but
that's about it.
 
It's not the amount of fat that matters. It's solely the amount of calories. 
 
Also, most of these people eat way too little protein, which messes up how 
their body processes food.

[FairfieldLife] Re: ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA

[raunchydog]

The White House Press Corp has been corrupt for years. They jockeyed for access 
to power on the cocktail weenie circuit for so long they forgot that the 4th 
Estate serves the people not the government. Recent history reminds us how 
dangerous it is for our country to have a weak-kneed press. EVERY network 
kissed Bush's ass in the run up to the Iraq War. FOX was the worst of the 
bunch. NO ONE said, "Hey, wait a minute. What the hell does Iraq have to do 
with 911?" So there you have it folks, the press rolled over for the government 
and our country shamefully bloodied its hands. 

FOX is a Republican propaganda station and MSNBC is a propaganda station for 
Obama. At least they put up a front of "fair and balanced."  ABC doesn't have 
to pretend a front any longer. We all knew Obama and ABC were playing footsie 
under the table anyway. So now that their illicit affair is out in the open and 
we're already used to them as a couple, they can sleep together in the White 
House and no one will care. When the government tells the "press" to jump and 
they ask how high, rather than why, who will speak for you? Who will inform 
you? No one. 

I am not interested in Republican ideas but I do believe they deserve a seat at 
the table. Who knows?  They might even provide some balance to the discussion. 
If ABC prevents a balanced discussion at the behest of Obama, what does that 
say about his commitment to changing politics as usual or the way Washington 
works? I don't see much changing except a more toothless press than ever before 
and it doesn't bode well for a free nation.

[FairfieldLife] Big Mistake

[Joe Smith]

The biggest mistake Israel ever made was not annexing the entire West Bank 
after the 1967 war, giving the Palestinians, who clearly lost that war, the 
choice to either accept Arab--Israeli citizenship or ship out to Jordan. Jordan 
originally was supposed to be Palestine, not Israel, the two nations were to be 
divided by the Jordan River. 

Gaza, like the West Bank, was supposed to have been acquired by Israel as a 
negotiation with Egypt without the Palestinians in the deal. Again, Israel had 
the upper hand in this negotiation since they kicked Egypt's ass in that war 
(1967).

When it comes to post war negotiations, the Israeli's have always been totally 
inept and have been paying for it ever since and will continue to do so. No 
nation would have accepted what Israel did after winning the 67 war regarding 
the terms of a West Bank and Gaza. They have always felt obligated to kiss the 
ass of an enemy clearly defeated. 

Carter in Gaza is a looser. He's a looser no matter where he goes as a 
'humanitarian', trying to make up for a legacy as the worst president in U.S. 
history. He doesn't need to worry though,, Obama will take the torch as the 
worst president in U.S. history after he's replaced in 2012.

No, a Shotokan expert will almost never get struck by another style. If
a Shotokan expert strikes you, he only needs to strike once and you are
disabled or dead. Two strikes maybe at the most, as a follow-up to
something that throws you off. That is why the Kamite is best out of 3
strikes. That's it. Game over. Its for real. This is the real world. The
outside edge of a foot, for example, trained and specifically hardened
to become almost like a 2 x 4, then struck, at full speed and power, at
the ankle, knee, solar plexus, adam's apple, jaw, skullcan very
likely disable, or kill

No, that is not my argument.

I predicted that an expert in Shotokan would come to the Octagon and
beat all-comers. At the time I knew nothing of Machida. or the UFC.  I
only could see that they were stupid goons compared to the people I
trained with. At the time, MANY people here on FFL scoffed long and hard
at my prediction, and now I have been proven correct.

This, as you saw, was from FFl on Nov. 26 2007:

"I therefore predict that one day you will see a true Shotokan master
enter your babies' Octagon. Silence will enfold the world at that point
and the monstor on steroids that you hold so highlywill be

Ok, I'll take that bet as well. He will never be defeated by a
non-Shotokan expert (that means a black belt - 1st dan - at the very
least --- any less than that, he will not be defeated.)

He will retire. 100 bucks - is it a bet?

You stand some chance of winning as it stands, but If I trained
seriously for a year, I stand a pretty good chance, under the 2 out of 3
strikes Kamite competition, to win.

We are both siddhas, so some sentience of action and re-action is well
developed in mind and body for both of us, so it should be an even keel
in that regard.

If I win, I'll take on the next guy.

  There are many factors that could result in a victory for myself aside
from the form of martial arts I practice. Same with you. Even if you
win, it could be other factors, and neither of us have proven anything.
So we're back to square one no matter what. >>

With all due respect, this statement above again shows a lack of real
experience. I doubt that I could ever win a kamite against a highly
trained Shotokan 2nd or 3rd dan, so it has little to do with 'chance'.
It has everything to do with skill...which gets to the heart of the
matter

Of course westerners are seldom strongly one dosha.  Some more

Gawd, they never stop whining:

After ABC News announced nearly wall-to-wall coverage from the White House to 
be broadcast next Wednesday, including a health care forum in the East Room 
featuring President Obama answering questions from a hand-picked audience, the 
Republican National Committee cried foul.

Kerry Smith, senior vice president of ABC News, sent a letter in response, 
dated today. It reads in part:


"ABC News prides itself on covering all sides of 
important issues and asking direct questions of all 
newsmakers — of all political persuasions — even 
when others have taken a more partisan approach and 
even in the face of criticism from extremes on both 
ends of the political spectrum. ABC News is looking 
for the most thoughtful and diverse voices on this 
issue. 

== ABC News alone will select those who will be in the 
audience asking questions of the president. ==

Like any programs we broadcast, ABC News will have 
complete editorial control. To suggest otherwise is 
quite unfair to both our journalists and our audience."

http://snipurl.com/k9pop  [thecaucus_blogs_nytimes_com] 


In reaction to the idea of having regular people directly question the 
President about an issue that affects all Americans, the RNC has sent a letter 
to ABC News executives, complaining about them becoming an "adjunct of the 
Obama administration." I think the RNC should have skipped the letter and taken 
their complaint to Fox News.

they have none, they have no idea what it really is. If you don't have any

Tom,

I just sent a request to (2) different tommy barlows on facebook.  I wasn't 
sure which one was correct.  If i got the correct one, just let me know on 
facebook.  If I didn't, let me know all the additional information I would need 
to get the right guy (ex:  location, full name, photos I should look for, 
etc...)

Mike

P.S.  From what it sounds like, you haven't paid much attention to UFC at all.  
So here's some interesting information:

1.  Dana White says the thinks Machida may prove to be the best UFC fighter yet!

2.  Tito Ortiz came close to getting Machida to tap out in a triangle choke.  
Machida is a black belt in BJJ and managed to escape at the last second of the 
last round.  

3.  It looks like Anderson Silva is being groomed for a shot at Machida, he 
just jumped up to the light heavyweight class.  

4.  Some think Rampage jackson might fight Machida.  Personally, I think 
Machida can take him, but Machida's got to be careful.


5.  If Machida goes heavyweight, he'll have to fight Brock Lesnar.  That will 
be the ultimate DAVID Vs. GOLIATH match.

[FairfieldLife] Re: BREAKING NEWS: New Report Projects Devastating U.S. Climate Impact

[wayback71]

This is devastating news.  If this info is getting mainstream press, then 
things must be really bad indeed. There is a terrific and hair-raising book 
called Six Degrees, written by a British science journalist, about global 
warming, and what happens to various parts of the world as the temperatures 
increase over time , degree by degree, up to a 6 degree centigrade increase.  
Basically, according to the author's sources, unless the entire planet gets on 
the same stringent program tomorrow, it is pretty much too late.  The tipping 
point will be reached and then things cascade from then on.  He does not feel 
that all life will be extingished, but that things will change drastically, and 
the remaining humans and animals will be living much further north on the 
planet.  This report from the EDF makes it all very real and is very sad.

I'm sure readers can easily decide for themselves if your commentary on in this 
forum about homosexuality and gay marriage [including posting a link to gay 
pornography] is homophobic or not.

The only one obsessed by my sex life is you, John Manning.

As for my posts regarding gay marriage: if one has to be automatically accused 
of being a homophobe simply because he opposes gay marriage then that really 
isn't a good foundation for a rationale debate.

And listen, that wasn't an all inclusive diet;
The ayurveda lists these on my happy list
and I also blend up carrots in the blender,w/ginger
or sprinkle on fresh parsley and cilantro.

I like a half bunch of fresh parsley in the blender , too, with some Stevia in 
there to sweeten.

I had some fresh spinach w/ avocado and drizzle sauce:
and stawberries in the blender w/ a bit of balsamic and Stevia
Also some sliced almonds on top.
And some rose petals all over.
really nice contrast of colors.
I got the recipie off Craigslist, so i 'm not taking credit.

As other here know I've been practicing real tantra under the guidance 
of a tantric samrat for over 9 years.  You're talking about sex not 
tantra.  We have fun giving the pseudo-tantrics of Marin county a hard

Obese vegans?


Sure. Eat a hypercaloric diet of grains and beans like a feedlot
animal, and you get a body like a feedlot animal.


Well, I'm not exactly an expert on obesity,
but do you think it's  likely--if you really
do mean obese--that they're being completely
honest about their veganism?  Maybe I
simply lack imagination, but I just can't
bring myself to see how someone could
get morbidly obese *totally* avoiding things
like butter, ice cream, etc.


In fact, after thinking about this for a while,
I can't even see fat on a diet like that--maybe
a little plump--or zaftig as we say in French--but
that's about it.  To be anytihng else on such a
spartan diet would almost mean literally eating
all the time, which nobody does.  In fact, for
most obese people, at least the ones I've known,
it's usually just the opposite--sneak eating when
they can get away with it.


The individuals I'm thinking of used to be typical roo lacto- 
vegetarian, but they've been PETA-style activist vegans for quite a  
number of years now, and they are obese. Chips, vegan dips, baked  
goods, sodas... there's no shortage of vegan junk food available,  
loaded with sugar and vegetable fats.


There may be no *shortage* of foods they
could eat without breaking their vegan vows,
but do you think it's likely??  That's what
I'm asking.  Compulsive eating, by definition
almost, usually means eating whenever
the compulsion strikes.  Unless they were
drinking vast quantities of soda--the only
item on your list, above, that would qualify
as obese-making--they couldn't do it, as
most baked goods use either milk or eggs.
They're going to get obese on vegan dips
and chips??
And if you're a compulsive eater, when
faced with the choice of either a huge
container of Rocky Road, delicious and
easily available, or taking the time and
trouble to run to a health-foods store and
buy god knows how many containers of
soy ice-cream, with many fewer calories
and much less readily-available--which
do you think most will opt for?  I guess
I just don't buy that these people are
being totally honest--it neither fits in
with what I know about obesity or com-
pulsive habits in general, or even makes
sense considering human nature and
how most people operate on a day to
day basis.

Maharishi refused to support International projects for Israel though He was 
under heavy pressure from israelis in and outside of the Movement; Igal 
Harmelin comes to mind. I remember Igal said that billions of dollars would be 
open to Maharishi if he would start projects in Israel.

When Israeli history for the Age Of Enlightenment will be written the world 
will see that though they certainly had His Divine support, rather His heart 
dwelled amongst the Palestinians.

After a drive from Israelis to support projects in Israel Maharishi said; "we 
can not"; 

"Israel is bombing Palestinian villages... and all that"

-Maharishi, 1982

[FairfieldLife] Global warming study: US has already started changing

[do.rflex]

WASHINGTON -- A new government study of global warming confirms that climate 
change caused by carbon dioxide is already having a "visible impact" on the 
United States, and severe problems are on the way -- including longer droughts, 
more floods and an increase in pests like mosquitoes -- if global warming 
continues unchecked.

The report by the Global Change Research Project, a consortium of government 
agencies like the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and the 
Environmental Protection Agency, also directly links climate change to carbon 
dioxide generated by humans, and warns that severe environmental problems, from 
coastal flooding to a rise in diseases threatening the human food chain, will 
only get worse.

"This new report integrates the most up-to-date scientific findings into a 
comprehensive picture of the ongoing as well as expected future impacts of 
heat-trapping pollution on the climate experienced by Americans," said John P. 
Holdren, Assisstant to the President for Science and Technology and director of 
the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

"It tells us why remedial action is needed sooner rather than later, as well as 
showing why that action must include both global emissions reductions to reduce 
the extent of climate change and local adaptation measures to reduce the damage 
from the changes that are no longer avoidable."

In light of the report, Representative Edward J. Markey, a Massachusetts 
Democrat and chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global 
Warming, announced he would hold a series of "impact hearings" on the 
conclusions the study has reached. The first hearing will be held this Thursday 
on the impacts of a warming world on America's agriculture and forests

"This report reinforces the science, renews our dedication to forging a 
national solution, and relegates the last bastions of climate denial to the 
dustbin of history," Markey said in a statement issued yesterday. "We waited 
for eight years to take any action on global warming, even as the evidence 
mounted. Our economy, our environment, and our planet can wait no longer."

According to the study, temperatures in the United States have already risen 
1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900, and the farming season now starts two weeks 
earlier. In addition, heavy downpours in the last 50 years have increased 67 
percent in the Northeast and 31 percent in the Midwest, triggering record 
floods.

If climate change is not seriously addressed, according to the report, 
temperatures worldwide could increase 11 degrees Fahrenheit, with even greater 
overall increases in the United States, and heat waves will be more prolonged 
and intense. The higher temperatures will increase the number of pests like 
mosquitoes, weeds will grow faster, and diseases will threaten livestock and 
agriculture as well as human health.

At the same time, according to the report, droughts will last longer, 
competition for resources will increase and the nation's coastal area will be 
threatened due to rising sea levels and more powerful storm surges during 
hurricanes and other extremely violent weather. By the year 2100, the report 
predicts, Cape Canaveral and the Everglades, two Florida landmarks, could be 
completely submerged.

The answer, according to the report, is twofold: take immediate action to curb 
production of carbon dioxide and come up with ways to cope with -- or take 
advantage of -- the changes that will likely occur.

"Both of these are necessary elements of an effective response strategy," said 
Jerry Melillo of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., who 
co-chaired the report.

[FairfieldLife] Carter says Gaza Palestinians treated like animals

[do.rflex]

GAZA, June 16 (Reuters) - Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are being "treated 
more like animals than human beings", former U.S. president Jimmy Carter said 
on Tuesday.

On a visit to the enclave, he condemned Israel's January bombardment of Gaza 
and its continuing trade blockade, which he said forbids even children's toys.

"I understand that even paper and crayons are treated as a security hazard," he 
told Gazans at a local United Nations office. "I sought an explanation of this 
when I met with Israeli officials and I received none, because there is no 
explanation."

Carter, 84, has spent far more years as a human rights activist than he did in 
the White House from 1977 to 1981. He is easily the most outspoken former U.S. 
president on the Middle East conflict, and seen by many Israelis as a harsh 
critic.

He ignored a U.S. government ban on dealings with Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas 
and had talks with its leaders.

Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza in 2007 when Hamas took control after 
routing rival Fatah forces loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas, who favours a 
peace deal with Israel. In late December, Israeli forces bombed then invaded 
Gaza, devastating its already battered infrastructure.

Since then, Israel has blocked imports of steel, cement and other goods to the 
population of 1.5 million Palestinians, saying Hamas could use many items for 
military purposes.

Carter, a Democrat, said he had seen for himself there had been almost no 
reconstruction in Gaza over the past five months.

"Never before in history has a large community like this been savaged by bombs 
and missiles and then been deprived of the means to repair itself," he said.

Dear Rick, 
 
As example of the kind of impacts  we can expect in a warming world, the 
climate of Illinois  could resemble the climate of Texas by the end of this  
century. 
If you aren't sure why global warming is our  top priority, please read 
this email. 
Moments ago, the White House released a  detailed scientific report 
forecasting devastating impacts of global  warming in the United States if we 
don't 
take dramatic steps now to cut  our global warming emissions. 
The report, Global Climate Change Impacts  in the United States, breaks 
down climate impacts  region-by-region 
The  Northeast: 
 
*   Hartford  and Philadelphia could average 30 days of 100+ 
temperatures per year  while Boston could see more than 20 100-degree days per  
year; 

 
*   Native  maple, beech, birch, spruce and fir forests could be almost 
entirely  lost; 

 
*   The  climate of New Hampshire could resemble the climate of North  
Carolina. 

The  Southeast: 
 
*   Much  of Florida and southeast Texas could see more than 180 days 
in the 90s  per year while other southeastern states could see more than 100  
90-degree days per year; 

 
*   Spring  and summer drought has already increased by 12 percent and 
14  respectively over the last 30 years. The frequency, intensity and  
duration of droughts in the region are likely to  increase; 

 
*   Sea  level rise and stronger storm surges could inundate and 
ultimately  flood coastal communities along the Atlantic and Gulf  coasts. 

The  Midwest: 
 
*   The  climate of Michigan could resemble the climate of Oklahoma and 
the  climate of Illinois could resemble the climate of  Texas; 

 
*   Deadly  heat waves like the one that killed more than 700 people in 
Chicago in  1995, will become more frequent. Under higher emission 
scenarios,  Chicago could experience up to three such heat waves every  year; 

 
*   Higher  emissions scenarios would cause a water level drop of 1-2 
feet in the  Great Lakes, threatening shipping, infrastructure, beaches and  
ecosystems. 

The Great  Plains: 
 
*   Hotter,  drier summers will threaten the already overused High 
Plains aquifer,  which irrigates 13 million acres and provides water to 80% of 
the  people in the region; 

 
*   Increased  temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels will 
threaten farming  activities with more drought, pest infestations, and faster 
weed  growth; 

 
*   Under  higher emission scenarios, North and South Dakota, which 
currently see  only a handful of 100-degree days, could see 50 or more days of 
100+  temperatures per year. 

The  Southwest: 
 
*   Under  higher emission scenarios, the southern half of Arizona, 
southeastern  California and Las Vegas could see more than 120 days with 100+  
temperatures; 

 
*   Most  of the region could see precipitation levels decline by more 
than 40%,  pushing already water-strained areas over the edge;  

 
*   Southwestern  forests will be decimated with less water, more 
wildfires and more  invasive pests. Under higher emissions scenarios, 
California's  mountain forests could decline by 60-90%.  

The  Northwest: 
 
*   Mountain  snowpack runoff, critical water needs, could run 20-40 
days earlier,  threatening water resources in summer months;  

 
*   Declining  summer streamflows and warmer water temperatures could 
push salmon and  other cold water fish species, already stressed by human 
activities,  over the brink; 

 
*   100-degree  days are rare today in the Northwest. Under higher 
emission scenarios,  much of the region could see 30-40 days of 110+ 
temperatures per  year. 

Without action, this is the future that  awaits our children. We can't let 
it happen. 
The good news? The U.S. House could vote on a  landmark energy and global 
warming bill as soon as next week. We're  doing everything we can to pass 
this bill and keep the pressure on the  Senate to move a bill of its own.

[FairfieldLife] Was Iran's election rigged? Here's what is known so far.

[do.rflex]

"I am convinced that they just pulled it 
out of their hats. They certainly didn't 
pull it out of ballot [boxes] or even 
stuffed ballots, they just made up numbers 
and are putting it out. It just doesn't 
make sense."

~~ Farideh Farhi, Iranian election analyst

_


The Christian Science Monitor - Istanbul, Turkey - In the biggest presidential 
election turnout in the history of the Islamic Republic, some 85 percent of 
Iran's electorate went to the polls last Friday and gave incumbent Mahmoud 
Ahmadinejad a landslide victory.

Or did they?

Defeated challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi claims that the official result of 62.6 
percent for Mr. Ahmadinejad and just 33.7 percent for him was a "dangerous 
charade," and has called for a new election. 

His newspaper, Kalameh Sabz, reported that more than 10 million votes were 
missing personal identification numbers that made the votes untraceable. He 
also says some polling stations closed prematurely, preventing some voters from 
casting ballots.

Many others also suspect the legitimacy of the vote, for a number of reasons:

Results from 39.2 million handwritten ballots came much more swiftly than in 
previous votes, emerging within hours. Detailed election data typically 
released has not been made public.

Iran's Supreme Leader sanctioned Ahmadinejad's victory after a day, instead of 
the customary three.

Ahmadinejad made a surprisingly strong showing in wealthier cities, where he is 
known to have less support, and in the ethnic strongholds of his rivals. 
Results from cities and rural areas normally vary, but this time were 
remarkably consistent.

Farideh Farhi of the University of Hawaii, whose decades of studying Iran has 
included poring over data from Iranian elections, says the result was "pulled 
out of a hat." Here's why.

Monitor: How does this election compare to past votes in Iran?

Ms. Farhi: My personal feeling is that Ahmadinejad could not have gotten 
anything more than 10 million. And I really do have the data from previous 
elections, each district, how they voted, each province, to make comparisons 
with these numbers that the Ministry of Interior have come out.

I am convinced that they just pulled it out of their hats. They certainly 
didn't pull it out of ballot [boxes] or even stuffed ballots, they just made up 
numbers and are putting it out. It just doesn't make sense.

I do take the numbers of the Interior Ministry very seriously. I pore over them 
every election. I did it last time in the parliamentary election, to determine 
the orientations and what they mean. I always do that.

In this election, I am not even going to spend time on this, because of all the 
[problems].

Monitor: Weren't their party monitors at the polling stations, to watch the 
count?

Farhi: There were party monitors, and the boxes were all counted, and there 
were records made, and the information was relayed to the Interior Ministry on 
a piecemeal basis.

But at one point, immediately after the polls were closed, a very few people, 
without the presence of any monitoring mechanism, started giving out these 
numbers. And that's why I think this was brazen manipulation.

It wasn't that they only wanted Ahmadinejad to win. They also wanted to make a 
case that we can do anything we want to do. And they were, I argue, very much 
interested in demoralizing this 20 to 30 percent extra voters that are coming 
in.

They simply are not interested in these people continuing to be interested in 
politics in Iran. The want them to become demoralized and cynical, because 
their participation in the Iranian electoral process is extremely destructive 
for the [Islamic] system ...

What they have not counted on, of course, is a group of people that they 
essentially think of, for lack of a better word, Westernized wishy-washy 
liberals, who never stand for anything, would actually be upset that this 
election was stolen in such a brazen way.

They assumed: 'Ah, you know, we go into the streets, we yell at them, and a 
couple of shots and they go home and close their doors.'

They knew that they were a minority, and that's why they tried to pull this 
off. They thought they could bully people, through violence. And they may 
ultimately be correct. But it seems they have underestimated, not only the 
crowds, but Mr. Mousavi.

Other red flags

Analysts expected a closer race, if not a reverse of that result, after a final 
surge in cities across Iran galvanized a large anti-Ahmadinejad vote.

Secret Iranian government polls reported by Newsweek earlier this month 
estimated that Mousavi would win 16 to 18 million votes, and Ahmadinejad just 6 
to 8 million. Those polls found that even the Revolutionary Guard and Iran's 
"vast intelligence apparatus seem to have come around to this position: a large 
majority of them also plan to vote for Mousavi," Newsweek reported.

Earlier polls appeared to indicate a stronger showing for Ahmadinejad, who – 
though under fire for poor

[FairfieldLife] BREAKING NEWS: New Report Projects Devastating U.S. Climate Impact

[Rick Archer]

An afternoon delight for Shemp.
 
 From Environmental Defense Fund
 

Dear Rick,


 Illinois climate impact
 
As example of the kind of impacts we can expect in a warming world, the
climate of Illinois could resemble the climate of Texas by the end of this
century.
If you aren't sure why global warming is our top priority, please read this
email.
Moments ago, the White House released a detailed scientific report
forecasting devastating impacts of global warming in the United States if we
don't take dramatic steps now to cut our global warming emissions.
The report, Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States, breaks down
climate impacts region-by-region
The Northeast:
*   Hartford and Philadelphia could average 30 days of 100+ temperatures
per year while Boston could see more than 20 100-degree days per year;
*   Native maple, beech, birch, spruce and fir forests could be almost
entirely lost;
*   The climate of New Hampshire could resemble the climate of North
Carolina.
The Southeast:
*   Much of Florida and southeast Texas could see more than 180 days in
the 90s per year while other southeastern states could see more than 100
90-degree days per year;
*   Spring and summer drought has already increased by 12 percent and 14
respectively over the last 30 years. The frequency, intensity and duration
of droughts in the region are likely to increase;
*   Sea level rise and stronger storm surges could inundate and
ultimately flood coastal communities along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The Midwest:
*   The climate of Michigan could resemble the climate of Oklahoma and
the climate of Illinois could resemble the climate of Texas;
*   Deadly heat waves like the one that killed more than 700 people in
Chicago in 1995, will become more frequent. Under higher emission scenarios,
Chicago could experience up to three such heat waves every year;
*   Higher emissions scenarios would cause a water level drop of 1-2
feet in the Great Lakes, threatening shipping, infrastructure, beaches and
ecosystems.
The Great Plains:
*   Hotter, drier summers will threaten the already overused High Plains
aquifer, which irrigates 13 million acres and provides water to 80% of the
people in the region;
*   Increased temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels will
threaten farming activities with more drought, pest infestations, and faster
weed growth;
*   Under higher emission scenarios, North and South Dakota, which
currently see only a handful of 100-degree days, could see 50 or more days
of 100+ temperatures per year.
The Southwest:
*   Under higher emission scenarios, the southern half of Arizona,
southeastern California and Las Vegas could see more than 120 days with 100+
temperatures;
*   Most of the region could see precipitation levels decline by more
than 40%, pushing already water-strained areas over the edge;
*   Southwestern forests will be decimated with less water, more
wildfires and more invasive pests. Under higher emissions scenarios,
California's mountain forests could decline by 60-90%.
The Northwest:
*   Mountain snowpack runoff, critical water needs, could run 20-40 days
earlier, threatening water resources in summer months;
*   Declining summer streamflows and warmer water temperatures could
push salmon and other cold water fish species, already stressed by human
activities, over the brink;
*   100-degree days are rare today in the Northwest. Under higher
emission scenarios, much of the region could see 30-40 days of 110+
temperatures per year.
Without action, this is the future that awaits our children. We can't let it
happen.
The good news? The U.S. House could vote on a landmark energy and global
warming bill as soon as next week. We're doing everything we can to pass
this bill and keep the pressure on the Senate to move a bill of its own.
Here are three things you can do now to help:
1.   Take
action to urge passage of the bill in the House.
2. Forward this email to all your friends and family.
3. Share facts about your region on Facebook or Twitter. Please include
a link to our action alert:

[FairfieldLife] Obama's jilted lover: MSNBC

[raunchydog]

For all his promise of transparency, this takes the cake. Obama told MSNBC, the 
biggest Obama ass-kisser on TV, they can't see the names of visitors to the 
White House. He's using the same argument as Bush that a president doesn't have 
to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions. Now couple that 
little kick in MSNBC's pants with Obama's support for gutting FOIA, keeping the 
Iraq torture photos secret, refusing to allow a hearing of Bush's war crimes, a 
little stealth undermining of gay rights and 4th amendment privacy rights, any 
pretty soon we're talking "secrecy creep in action." What say you?

SECRECY CREEP IN ACTION

Glenn Greenwald
Tuesday June 16, 2009

On May 13, when Obama announced he would attempt to suppress prisoner abuse 
photos on the ground that their release would inflame anti-American sentiment, 
I wrote:

Think about what Obama's rationale would justify. Obama's claim . . .  
means we should conceal or even outright lie about all the bad things we do 
that might reflect poorly on us. For instance, if an Obama bombing raid 
slaughters civilians in Afghanistan (as has happened several times already), 
then, by this reasoning, we ought to lie about what happened and conceal the 
evidence depicting what was done -- as the Bush administration did -- because 
release of such evidence would "would be to further inflame anti-American 
opinion and to put our troops in greater danger." Indeed, evidence of our 
killing civilians in Afghanistan inflames anti-American sentiment far more than 
these photographs would. Isn't it better to hide the evidence showing the bad 
things we do?

"In this coming Age, mankind will evolve several methods of dealing

Through a sophisticated form of barter, the world's goods will be
shared until such time as man's inner divinity awakens in him a
desire for a simpler method of structuring his economic life." (A

With an expected economic decline of 10 per cent this year in Singapore,
small and medium sized businesses are increasingly turning to barter.
Through BarterXchange, a network of 600 enterprises, companies in the
northern part of the city state earn credits by offering their services

The sole raison detre for the Republican party is to transfer wealth to the 
rich. Obviously, only the rich would vote for a message like that, so the 
Repubs need to dress up the pitch with talk about "fiscal responsibility" (an 
obvious hoax since Repubs could care less about deficits as long the transfer 
of wealth to the rich continues unabated) and "national security" (swinging out 
madly at the world to protect the wealth and status of the American upper 
class).

Gathering of the Forces of Light
"People everywhere will be astonished by the reports [of UFOs].
These will include sightings, in unprecedented numbers, of spacecraft
from our neighbouring planets, Mars and Venus in particular. Nothing
like this increased activity, over vast areas of the Earth, will have
been seen before." (The Master —,`The gathering of the
Forces of Light', SI March 2007)

China: Shenzhen – Newspapers in the city of Shenzhen in Guandong
province received numerous telephone calls from residents who witnessed
UFOs on the evening of 23 February 2009. One of the UFOs emitted a
blue-violet light before moving away rapidly to the south. One witness,
Mrs Zhou, saw three UFOs from her balcony. Two of the three objects
moved away rapidly while one remained awhile before taking off. "The
last one was emitting the strangest violet light which was very
bright" she said. Another witness, Mr Yip, also saw the UFOs and
noticed that at least one of the craft was also emitting a blue flame
from its underside. (Source: allnewsweb.com)
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms this was a spacecraft from Mars.)
Liu Pan Shui Cit – A UFO was filmed in January 2009 by a group of
firefighters in Liu Pan Shui City in Guizhou province. Wang Jia Wei
noticed an unusual, brightly-flashing star moving in a south-easterly
direction. Using a video camera, he saw that the object was actually two
rotating craft in the shape of spinning tops, or two rotating halves of
one craft. The UFO was flashing a variety of colours: purple, red, blue,
orange, white and gold. The incident reportedly received widespread
media coverage in China. (Source: allnewsweb.com) (Benjamin Creme's
Master confirms these were two spacecraft from Mars.)

Greece: The Greek newspaper Espresso reported a UFO sighting on the
Peloponnese Peninsula near the Isthmus of Corinth on 3 February 2009.
Numerous people called local police to report seeing the UFO. One
witness, Patapios Palaiologou, was driving his daughter to school.
"It was a sunny day and the sky was totally clear. Suddenly, I saw a
huge object over the small hillside opposite the village where we live.
It appeared to be about 400 metres above ground and it was huge, about
300 metres in diameter. It looked like the planet Saturn with a red ring
around it and was metallic silver in colour" he said.
According to Palaiologou, the UFO remained suspended for about 10
seconds, and then the ring began to vibrate at a very fast pace. The
object started to tremble very strongly and a few seconds later he saw
an intense glow on its right side. "Then it disappeared!" he
said. Other people witnessed the UFO in the same location that day, and
some sightings also occurred a week before. (Source: www.allnewsweb.com)
(Benjamin Creme's Master confirms this was a spacecraft from Mars.)

Russia: Dozens of people in western Russia saw a circular-shaped UFO on
January 2009 near Belgorod, near the border with Ukraine, which changed
colour from glowing white to electric blue. The UFO periodically emitted
a white laser beam in the direction of the ground. Many residents said
they experienced interference to their television reception. Witnesses
Mr and Mrs Skripov from Gorodishka saw the beam from the UFO hit the
road in front of their car. "We are familiar with spotlights and
this was not one," Mr Skripov said. According to witnesses, the
object eventually rose through the clouds rapidly and disappeared. The
incident was reported widely by the Russian news media. (Source:

television journalist Liliana López saw a gigantic, bright light in
the sky from her eighth-floor balcony at 9.20pm. She captured the
diamond-shaped object on her video camera and reported that it emitted a
multi-coloured light. It drifted across the sky for several minutes and
then mysteriously disappeared. UFO experts are investigating the
extraordinary footage. López recalls: " I saw a very big,
resplendent light in the sky, certainly not normal at all. It was easy
to see it was not a star or a plane and taking advantage of the fact
that I had a video camera with good resolution I tried to get some
close-up footage. You can see quite clearly what a strange object it is.
There is a moment when it's already going away – it starts
turning around, around, around, around and then finally moves away –
it's perfectly evident that it's a [space]ship". (Source:

it just looked like a bright light but, on the video camera we could see
it pulsing, then suddenly changing colours. They decided to go out and
follow the light to try to get a bit closer and they started to notice
it was going down beyond the horizon. She added: "This is when you
could see with your own eyes that it was pulsing and changing colours.
We stopped in a lay-by and rested the camcorder on a gatepost where we
got the best shots. We could see how it was getting much brighter than
before." Asked by a Sky reporter if she thought it was a UFO Harriet

IMO, raw foodists do make some pretty yummy stuff, and raw fruits and veggies 
do make up a significant part of my diet, but I can't be bothered to make all

February 2009 in Kashgar in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region along the
ancient Silk Road. "Me and my father were walking through a park
near the Science and Technology Complex returning to our hotel when I
noticed a very bright and clear object in the sky that appeared too
close and too bright to be a star," said Lee Kwan Hing. "I used
a Panasonic High Definition camcorder to take the film. As I zoomed in
on the object I noticed that it had the form of a yo-yo and I could make
out geometric patterns on the object. Is it a UFO, a satellite or a
star?" he asks. "Perhaps an All News Web reader can help Hing
solve this mystery," suggests Michael Cohen of All News Web.

Sign of the `star'
On 23 April 2009 a large crop formation appeared in a field at Rutlands
Farm near Avebury, in Wiltshire, England. The beautiful, symmetrical
pattern resembles a star – a central circle surrounded by 16 rays of
different lengths – and appeared in a field of yellow flowering
canola (oilseed rape.) The formation measures 298 feet at its longest
with a 66 foot diameter central circle.


Rape seed, with its thick, brittle stalks and profuse pollen, is one of
the most difficult crops to walk in, yet, according to Charles Mallett
of the Silent Circle Information Centre, this new formation is one of
the "most elaborate and geometrically sophisticated oilseed
rape/canola formations that have occurred in British crop circle history
… Right now in 2009, we've had really huge, serious formations!
This has never really happened before – kind of unprecedented."
Steve and Karen Alexander have been photographing and researching the
crop patterns for over 15 years and for the past ten have produced an
annual Year Book displaying the best formations each year. On 20 May
2009 Share International asked Steve Alexander whether the complex
patterns already appearing in the fields of Wiltshire, England, were
unusual for this time of year.


Steve Alexander: "Between April and late May each year we normally
see only a few crop circles in oilseed rape crop. Some years we
don't get any at all. In 2009, we have had an incredible eleven
formations. What is impressive this year, is the size, and quality of
the oilseed rape formations. The formation which appeared at Clatford in
Wiltshire was measured at 700 feet in length! Some researchers are
expecting a phenomenal summer, as the crop circles at this early part of
the season have already out-stripped expectations."

Dear Editor,
I have been seeing in the sky at night a single light that shines more
than any other and it has been alone in the sky for the last few days.
The light is seen in the West. On Saturday 7 March 2009 we went to a
birthday party and we were heading to Albalat del Torongers town. When
we were driving there, we saw the light on our left, in a northwest
direction, always alone in the sky, which kept our attention due to its
brightness – it was more intense than any other star and seemed to
be vibrating. We watched it till we arrived and then it disappeared. Was
it the star heralding Maitreya's public emergence?

[FairfieldLife] Same-Sex Behavior Found in Nearly All Animals

[do.rflex]

Live Science - Examples of same-sex behavior can be found in almost all species 
in the animal kingdom — from worms to frogs to birds — making the practice 
nearly universal among animals, according to a new review of research on the 
topic.  

"It's clear that same-sex sexual behavior extends far beyond the well-known 
examples that dominate both the scientific and popular literature: for example, 
bonobos, dolphins, penguins and fruit flies," said Nathan Bailey, a 
postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Riverside.

Same-sex behaviors in different species are not all equivalent, the review 
finds. For instance, male fruit flies sometimes court other male flies, but 
this behavior is due to a missing gene that gives the flies the ability to 
distinguish between sexes, said Bailey, a co-author of the review. "That is 
very different from male bottlenose dolphins, who engage in same-sex 
interactions to facilitate group bonding, or female Laysan Albatross that can 
remain pair-bonded for life," he added.

The review also found a gap in the literature: While many studies have tried to 
understand why same-sex coupling exists and why it might make sense in terms of 
evolution, few have looked at what the evolutionary consequences of this 
behavior might be.

"Like any other behavior that doesn't lead directly to reproduction — such as 
aggression or altruism — same-sex behavior can have evolutionary consequences 
that are just now beginning to be considered," Bailey said. 

"For example, male-male copulations in locusts can be costly for the mounted 
male" and this cost may put evolutionary pressure on the locusts, he said. As a 
result, a larger number of males may secrete a particular chemical that 
discourages the mounting behavior, he added.

In their future research, Bailey and Marlene Zuk, a biology professor at UCR, 
plan to try and address questions about the evolutionary outcomes of same-sex 
couplings, focusing on the Laysan Albatrosses.

The review article was published in the June 16 issue of the journal Trends in 
Ecology and Evolution, and the study was funded by the UCR Academia Senate.

Yes, I hunt them myself. I do have the meat professionally butchered, though.

Yes, but you should be prepared to sacrifice for the bullshit catastrophic 
man-made global warming you believe in, Sal.  Don't you know that it will kill 
10s of millions unless you do something about it?

Nope. When Alex spots a deer from his kitchen window, he fires up the skillet, 
walks outside, punches the deer between the eyes, (saves on bullets) heaves it 
over his shoulder, butchers it on the chopping block, braises it rare and eats 
it with a side dish of jalapenos picked fresh from his garden.

Ugh, no thanks... I've eaten enough neolithic starch in the last 25

If you think the above sounds awful, what are your thoughts
on the latest fad--the "raw foods" diet, basically made up
of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds, all totally uncooked, of
course.

Yummm...not.

I guess what it appears to me about most of these
diets is that they seem almost fixated on what
you're not supposed to eat, rather than celebrating
and enjoying what you are eating.  Plus they just
don't sound very appetizing.

Reread my post.

I said "If we were REALLY serious" about stopping global warming.

Nobody's serious about it (certainly not me) but if they were the above idea 
WOULD be the best way to eliminate or cut down on the problem.  And, yes, 
you're probably right about how many people such a drastic cut in diet would 
kill.  But, again, compared to the millions that the likes of Al Gore says are 
going to die because of global warming then the above would still be a better 
alternative.

The best alternative is to ignore the insane rantings of the Al Gore's of the 
world and just get on with your life.

Yuck!  This is exactly why a lot of natural food restaurants fail.  They 
can't make anything that tastes good!  Good ones (I can think of the

No brain is a good description of your idea.  If you actually knew 
anything about real nutrition you would know it would also kill off a 
lot of people.  Why?  Because many of us have ancestors who survived on 
meat.  Without it the acid/alkaline balance will go out of whack.  AND 
meat doesn't necessarily make us more acid.  In fact in some people it 
makes them more alkaline.  Again we're all different.   The veganism fad 
is promoted to create a world of wussy people easily controlled by meat 
eating gangsters.  Of course you're probably for that too.

That said many could cut way back on meat eating.  We probably all know 
people that just eat meat every meal.  Many could drop back to two or 
three times a week unless treating some disease where animal protein 
helps.   And some who are genetically inclined can actually be 
vegetarians with no impact to their energy or strength.

Robert, I appreciate your heartfelt reply. As I've said before, I hope you find 
a wonderful woman to love. If one day, I hope soon, cupid's thunderbolt 
strikes, and a woman sweeps you off your feet, the artificiality of a 
particular style of loving making, won't even enter your head. You'll forget 
about books, scripture, Maharishi, tantra, celibacy, and all the preconceived 
notions about sex, you have swirling around in your head and enjoy discovering 
the mystery of your heart.

I didn't mean to jump on anyone...perhaps I wrote too fast, in response...
I don't want anyone to squash their boner.
I understand that sex can be fun, and sometimes even sacred...
I am just a bit frustrated with the whole scene right now, and can't find a 
compatible tantric partner, myself...
Also, I have been attempting to understand the essence of celibacy, and how 
Maharishi or others like him, understood the path of giving up sex...
Again, I apologize to 'meothirteen' if I caused any harm...

Touchy, touchy, Robert. Here we have a newbie, a fresh new voice who wants to 
talk about how she (I'm guessing she) feels about sex and you jump on her with 
both feet ad hominem.  Puritanical blowhards like yourself and religious 
zealots of every stripe who extol the virtues of sexual purity by controlling 
their "urges" go nutty when a free spirit says that sex is fun. It's freak out 
time, "I must squash free spirit, I must squash my boner!" God forbid you got a 
boner thinking about meowthirteen having a tantric romp in the hay. If she 
likes sex and you don't, let the girl have some fun and mind your own business.

Yes, I am.

Obviously you remember my posts on this very subject: that according to the 
U.N., 18% of all greenhouse gasses are caused by livestock whereas 14% by 
transport and if we are REALLY serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions 
then it's much easier killing all the livestock in the world (and thereby 
feeding 10 times more people) than going after oil-driven cars and other 
transport vehicles.

It's a no-brainer.

I wonder how many if polled see themselves as idiots?  The US population 
seems to be getting dumber and dumber nowadays and I see an idiocracy in 
the works that is if civilization lasts that long.  Of course an 
idiocracy is not civilization.  The fallacy of the movie was that if 
people were really that stupid they would have ceased to exist.  I 
recall that Muktananda once said he had a vision of the future where 
manking was about the size of a rat and the creature spent most of its 
time engaged in sex.  Of course some idiots might call the latter tantra.

Perhaps the fact that the GOP has acted quite liberal in the past 8 years is 
the reason they aren't very popular with the 40% who consider themselves 
conservative.

The best proof of that is that Obama has become Bush3, continuing almost all of 
his policies, some in spades (such as deficit-spending).

Worse yet, Sal doesn't even know what she is buzzing and spewing about since

She thinks there's an actual discussion taking place when it's quite obvious to

Tantra is not about sex.  How many times do we have to say that?  There 
are a bunch of ignoramuses who think it is about sex and write books 
about it being about sex but they are just idiots and malign the 
practice of tantra.  Rajneesh did great harm to tantra by associating it 
with sex.  If Carradine thought he was practicing tantra he was just 
practicing sex.  And some (including his family) think he was "suicided."

Tantra is about sex as much as TM is.  Now ponder that for awhile.

loses his balance (mental and physical) falls into a picnic basket and emerges

The majority of women interviewed by 
Shere Hite said that the best part of 
love-making was the 'cuddling', not the 
thrusting. But the question is, why do
women think they need the thrusting, if
they don't have an orgasm? I mean, they
could just get themselves off anytime
they wanted to and avoid a big mess.

Naturally, men don't want to talk about
this, it's too much of a threat to their
ego since their universe revolves around
their penile member, as you can see from
the comments posted here. LOL!

Thanks for the information. It was
interesting hearing the women describe
how they could fake their own orgasm.
But, why would a woman need a man 
thrusting in order to fake it? 

As a charitable performance, two women 
demonstrate the various types of orgasm:

If these figures are accurate, it means that Obama got the crux of the moderate 
or "swing" vote in November.

Or it could mean that a whole mess of conservatives stayed home and didn't vote 
at election time.  I heard former congressman Tom Delay say a week after the 
election that 32 million conservatives stayed home and didn't vote (presumably 
because they were unhappy with the liberal-leaning John McCain).

[FairfieldLife] Prime Minister of The Global Country of World Peace hails victory in Iran

[guyfawkes91]

Press Release to all media outlets.

Today in the sublime atmosphere of coherence Dr Bevan Morris, the Prime 
Minister of the Global Country of World Peace, surrounded by all the Rajas of 
the dominions of the whole world in a 10 hour presentation broadcast by 
satellite and the internet, hailed the victory of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 
as a shining example of the rise of collective consciousness throughout the 
world.

"This performance of fixing the election that everyone thought was lost is a 
supreme example of the power of our coherence creating groups to counteract the 
negativity produced by democratic elections" He explained.

"Furthermore Iran has a great tradition going back to Vedic times of 
maintaining governments in harmony with Natural Law. The disgusting spectacle 
of allowing ordinary people, even women, to have a say in the running of a 
country has no place in the rising Sat Yuga. This victory is only to be 
expected as the rise of collective consciousness created by our powerful groups 
of Vedic pundits casts aside the corrupt democracies of the world"

His speech was greeted with rapturous applause by the assembled Rajas and court 
attendants, flowers rained from the sky and celestial drums could be heard 
along with ringing Bells of Invincibility. 

"This great victory of the Divine Rulership of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is 
yet another example of the Rise of Perfection in World Politics and Economy 
(see http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=49377)" Dr Morris claimed.

"If the wealthy people of the world would just give us $10 billion we could 
totally transform politics and lead everyone back to harmony with Natural Law 
under my supreme rulership. Send money now"

That's the thing they never seem to 
understand. They buzz around as if they
were dangerous, and brag as if they were
inflicting damage, but to us they're merely
buzzing, non-biting insects, the equivalent
of gnats.

If you're picnicing your way through life,
trying to enjoy it, you learn after a while
that gnats come with the territory. They
show up, and they buzz. But if you're sane,
you don't spend your time trying to swat
something so inconsequential as to not even 
have the ability to bite you. You just ignore 
the gnats and focus on the good stuff in the 
picnic basket. 

Gnats, I am sure, have their own gnat myth-
ology. They probably get together in gnat
bars and brag about all the damage they did
to the picnic people this week. "We really
terrified them, didn't we, guys?" Gnat Toady
#1 replies, "Yeah, we sure did...did you see 
that look of terror on that guy's face when 
you buzzed him?" Gnat Toady #2 chimes in, 
"And when you called him that buzz-name, did 
you notice how he pretended not to even 
notice? What fear and trembling we must strike 
into the hearts of these puny humans."

But if you listen closely, all you really
hear during these conversations is the buzz-
ing of insects so inconsequential that few
even bother to swat at them.

[FairfieldLife] 'Iran's Dictator's Wish to Squash Protestors'

[Robert]

Iran Leaders Will Stop Poll Protests, Says Columbia’s Bulliet
By Henry Meyer

June 15 (Bloomberg) -- Iranian leaders will probably take decisive action to 
quell opposition protests against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election, 
said Richard Bulliet, an Iran expert at Columbia University.

Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated today in downtown Tehran at a 
rally led by Ahmadinejad’s defeated opponent, Mir Houssein Mousavi, who charges 
widespread fraud in the June 12 vote.

A pro-government militia fired at opposition protesters, killing at least one 
person, the Associated Press reported, citing one of its photographers, who was 
a witness. There was no immediate confirmation. The rally took place in 
defiance of an official ban on public protests.

“The regime will quell the discontent,” Bulliet, a professor of history at 
Columbia’s Middle East Institute, said by phone today from New York. “It will 
be dampened down and the U.S. and foreign governments will have to resign 
themselves to dealing with the Ahmadinejad regime.”

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who endorsed Ahmadinejad’s 
election June 13, calling it a “glittering event,” has ordered an investigation 
into allegations of irregularities.

Bulliet predicted that the Guardian Council, the election’s supervisory body, 
with the authority to review the results, will still endorse the outcome within 
the next week.

Repercussions Predicted

If the protests continue after then, “Khamenei could respond to street unrest 
by declaring martial law and imposing curfews,” he said.

Ahmadinejad, 52, took almost 63 percent of the vote, according to official 
results, with Mousavi winning about 34 percent. Mousavi, 67, said today he’s 
ready to take part in new elections.

A victory by Ahmadinejad would be a setback for President Barack Obama’s policy 
of engaging Iran in dialogue, rather than ostracizing it, as a means to ensure 
the Islamic republic doesn’t acquire nuclear weapons, said analysts including 
Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

The Iranian president, accused by Mousavi and other opponents of stoking 
tensions with the West with his fiery rhetoric, has rejected international 
concerns about Iran’s nuclear program.

Mousavi, a former prime minister, had promised in the campaign to respond to 
Obama’s efforts to end three decades of hostility between their countries 
following the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

He also pledged unspecified confidence-building measures to reassure the 
international community about the peaceful nature of Iranian nuclear 
activities. Iran, the world’s fourth-largest oil producer, says its atomic work 
is designed to generate electricity.

Early Automobiles in Mountain Lakes


 





In the first days of Mountain Lakes, walking was the most common mode of 
transportation.  Horse-drawn carriages had long since disappeared.  People 
walked to and from the train station and to and from the stores.  The trolley 
served for travel up and down the Boulevard and into Boonton or out to 
Bloomfield Avenue (now Route 46).  Some people had automobiles but kept them in 
the city.  A few of the more wealthy families owned automobiles and used them 
in Mountain Lakes as well.  The pictures on these pages are enlargements of 
automobiles that appeared occasionally in the house photos.  They are collected 
here so that they may be seen all together. 
We who compiled these pictures are not knowledgeable about antique 
automobiles.  However in April, 2001, we posted a note on an antique cars 
newsgroup (alt.autos.antique) asking for assistance in identifying these cars.  
We received many replies from all over the world.  The descriptions that follow 
are compiled from those responses. 
One thing we discovered quickly.  It's very tough to identify most very old 
cars without seeing little identifying marks on them.  Anyone who says "new 
cars all look the same" should look at 1920s cars! 
The big problem with the really old cars is that styling wasn't really an art.  
Cars weren't all that common, or that reliable, and it was more important that 
your car start and run than it look good, or even unique.  There were more than 
5,000 different automobiles manufactured in the U.  S.  mostly in the east and 
midwest.  Many companies, especially the smaller makers, either copied a lot of 
styling techniques or in some cases bought from common manufacturers when they 
were purchasing things like grilles, lights, or fenders. 
Some of these cars might also have custom coachwork, which makes it tougher. 
Keep in mind that a large number of the relatively inexpensive cars we take for 
granted today looked very huge and luxurious in the 1910s and 1920s -- Dodge, 
Chevrolet, Buick, etc.  So one can't overlook a more common marque just because 
the car in the picture looks elaborate and luxurious. 
Many states issued books listing the registration (license plate) numbers of 
each car in the state.  These were accompanied with the name and address of the 
owner.  If we could find one of these for New Jersey, we would have all the 
information needed to positively identify each car whose license plate is 
visible and its owner. 
We would appreciate anyone reading this who knows the subject to send us 
comments.  We would like to know the make and model of the cars we have not yet 
identified.  Please e-mail us:
mto('webmaster','mtnlakes.org')
 
There are several photos.  Continue to scroll down until you have seen them 
all. 








This auto is driving North on the Boulevard.  It is in the photo of The 
trolley.  Although some experts have asserted that this car is a Buick, 
probably around a 1908.  others say no.  They feel it looks awfully big to be a 
Buick, especially in the wheels.  Also Buicks had their name in script across 
the radiator.  The bottom line is we are still not sure what type of car this 
is.  If anyone viewing this has any comments, please tell us:
mto('webmaster','mtnlakes.org')
 .


 




This is in the driveway of 50 Tower Hill Road.  We were initially told this is 
an early Model T, circa 1908.  However, subsequently this conclusion was 
disputed.  The evidence is as follows. 
The Model T Ford started with the 1909 model year.  The first one was sold on 
October 1, 1908.  The runabout (roadster) that was offered that year is similar 
to what is in the photo.  The differences are these: The front axle on the Ford 
hung below the frame and had a single spring that ran from wheel to wheel 
perpendicular to the frame.  This car appears to have semi-elliptical springs 
on the front.  The Ford radiator was much shorter and ended at the front cross 
member of the frame.  This one is long and extends to the front axle.  The Ford 
radiator fill cap was small and on a short neck.  This one is large and has a 
bail holding the top to the neck where the Ford screwed in.  The headlights on 
the Ford were smaller and mounted higher than on this car.  All of the side 
lights offered for the 1909 - 1914 Fords were square and had no handle on top.  
Here they are round with a handle.  The Ford runabout had a third seat in the 
back as does
 this one, but the Ford's seat was small with a semi-circular (bucket) shape.  
This one is square, more a bench type, and it has a hand rail around it.  There 
were only two top bows on the Model T.  This car has an extra one leading 
forward.  The spokes of the Ford steering wheel are bent to make the rim lower 
than the hub.  It is the opposite on here.  The Fords were left-hand drive.  
This car is right-hand drive.  The rear brake drums were about half the size of 
those shown in this picture. 
So we still don't know
