[FairfieldLife] Trend Analysis For Dummies
Recently I made some predictions as to what was going to happen in the wake of both Ravi and Robin self- destructing. I suggested that the person who recruited them and constantly stroked and praised them every time they demonized one of the three people she'd trained them to demonize would freak out, and do so in such a way that her tactics would become more obvious to lurkers here. I suggest that's what has happened. Because people here seem to have embarrassingly short memories, a lot of you might not remember what this place was like just a few weeks ago. There was a team of people, all care- fully recruited by Judy, who week after week after week did exactly what was expected of them. That is, they spent a large number of their posts dissing and demonizing (and in some cases slandering) three people who coinci- dentally are the three people Judy has been obsessing on and cyberstalking for years. One of Judy's minions even stupidly gave the people he'd been commissioned to diss a name, the Troika (referring to Vaj, Curtis, and myself). Every week it was the same Judy and the Pips act, as Jim, Ravi, and Robin (occasionally aided by Nabby and Raunchydog, and further back by Bob Price) did as they'd been taught to do and constantly ragged on one or more of these three people. But then they self-destructed. Ravi went down in flames, followed shortly by Robin. Jimbo has put himself on a posting out diet, consistently going over the posting limit such that he posts for a week, then sits on the bench for a week, and then repeats that same pattern. I have suggested that this provides an opportunity for the people of FFL to see exactly where this demonization of Curtis, Vaj and myself COMES FROM. With her minions all gone, and only Raunchydog to help her out, Judy has to try to reactivate the Vaj is a liar meme and the Curtis is unethical meme and the Barry is just plain evil meme every week ALL BY HERSELF. And she has. And my prediction is that she will continue to do so. I'm making this prediction so that people start to NOTICE. She has been running this same number for years. 2011 was the worst year yet, because she managed to recruit a team of backup dissers to either pile on to her demon- izations of the evil Troika or initiate their own. Now they're pretty much all gone. so she has to do it herself. With a little help from Raunchy, of course. Just WATCH, people. Try to NOTICE what this crazy woman's TRENDS are on this forum. Is there a theme she keeps coming back to, week after week after week, as if it's some kind of obsession for her, one that she can never let go of? I suggest that there is. Unlike her, I am not suggesting that anyone DO anything in particular about Judy and her obsessions. Just NOTICE them, that's all, and factor that into your assessments of either her, or of the three people she consistently tries to get. The woman's a broken record. She has been fixated on trying to get the same three people for years now. In one case, she's been trying to get the person for SEVENTEEN YEARS. During all that time there has rarely been a week in which a huge number of her posts were NOT devoted to trying to get him. Then Curtis and Vaj got added to the get list, and she's been consistent in trying to get them ever since, too. I think it's more than a little insane, and have said so. Just WATCH, and make your own assessments. My bet is that she will continue to spend a huge amount of her posts each week trying to get these three people. She really doesn't have a *choice* about doing this any more; this vindictive vendetta behavior *defines* her. But I could be wrong about all this. Just WATCH, and see if you think I am. The best part about making predictions like this is that Judy actually has the opportunity to prove them wrong, by simply NOT doing what I predict she'll do. But she never does. She always does pretty much *exactly* what I predict she'll do. I don't think she is capable of doing anything else. The Troika and her obsession with them run her life. We're pretty much all she's got.

[FairfieldLife] Re: A Wikileaks lawyer runs into Atty General Eric Holder at Sundance
Thanks for the recommendation re The Sun, it's new to me and looks like a good resource. *** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn emilymae.reyn@... wrote: I subscribe to The Sun magazine, which included an interview this month with Richard Wolff, economist and critic of the structural problems with current capitalist system.  In this particular interview, he discusses capitalism in the context of today's economic reality, the OWS movement, and historical events, policies, laws, etc. that led up to where we are.  The Sun website doesn't post current issues to preserve interest in their subscriptions, I am assuming, but the interviewer (David Barsamian) asked a couple of questions that speak to Obama's administration and its decisions that I have subjectively excerpted below. Wolff is, I'm sure. called a marxist or communist  but he makes a lot of interesting points and has ideas that could be implemented in a democracy.  Personally, I would love a government job at a living wage at this point in my life for a variety of reasons.  Barsamian:  What practical steps could the Obama administration take to address the inequalities that the protesters (OWS) are pointing out? (as in the economic inequality being furthered by both the Republican and Democratic parties, as represented by their financial backers) Wolff:  It might be too late for that.  Obama had many chances and took none of them.  He repeatedly compromises with the Right and ignores or throws minor concessions to his core constituents.  Nothing short of a major reversal of everything his administration has done would convert him into an ally of OWS. Barsamian:  So who is most to blame for the mess we're in? Wolff:  We should be beyond blaming the poor or the rich.  Everybody did his or her part to contribute to this crisis.  The bankers did what bankers do; the working people did what working people do.  Everyone tried to make this system work for them.  Workers couldn't pay back their debts for understandable reasons. Employers stopped raising wages (which have stagnated since the 1970's for the middle class) because the system allowed them to do it. When a system has everybody playing more or less by the rules and achieves the level of dysfunction that we have now, it's time to stop looking for scapegoats and understand that the problem is the system itself.  It's driving everyone in it - corporations, individuals, banks, businesses on Main Street, whomever - to act in ways that are bad for the economy as a whole. Barsamian:  What immediate steps would you recommend? (in terms of fixing the current system) Wolff:  I would focus on one short-term step that ought to be taken immediately, and one intermediate step that will be harder to take. ...We ought to have a national jobs program to put our unemployed back to work (yes, back to the 30's), and end the plan that has now failed for four and a half years, the plan of Presidents Bush and Obama, which is to provide incentives for the private sector to hire people.  Unemployment is as high now as it was three years ago.  It is unconscionable and unethical to stick with a policy of proven failure. Two and a half years ago President Obama designed a stimulus program that was supposed to put people back to work.  It offered incentives of various kinds: tax cuts and subsidies that would hopefully lead the private sector to hire more people. It cost roughly $800 billion and was passed by Congress.  It didn't solve the problem.  In September 2011 President Obama went on television again to propose yet another stimulus, only this package was half the size of the one before it.  Obviously, if the first one failed, this one cannot work either. The solution is for the government to hire people directly.  Use every dollar of the program to create government jobs, not to provide incentives, some of which will end up in the hands of executives or shareholders.  You want to put people to work?  Hire them and pay them a decent salary.  We could be building public transportationetc., etc.. More important than that, and a bit more far-reaching, is the need to democratize our enterprises..Right now, all the decisions are made by a tiny group of people.  In most corporations that group is the board of directors: 15 to 20 people who decide what to produce, how and where to produce it, and what to do with the profits.  And who selects these people?  The major shareholders, another group of 15 to 20 people.  The vast majority of working people have no voice.  What if the employees  themselves ran these enterprises?  How would that work?... Barsamian: Can the government pay for the sort of jobs programs you recommend without more deficit spending?  Wolff:  The reason the U.S. government takes in less than

Well, all I know is no one yet is holding a gun to any of you FFL'ers heads. So all of the long-timers must enjoy this. It is theoretically so easy to just drop out and go do something useful like take out the trash or something. But none of you do that (that garbage must really be piling up) so there you have it. Simple. You all stay here doing what you do on this site because you either want to or have a compulsion to. In this cyclical movement of posts one of you is either igniting a fire because the posts are getting too mild or you are arguing to beat the band. I mostly find it entertaining but sometimes it is a tad repetitive because no one really convinces the other target that they are right. The watchers may change viewpoints because no one could describe the posters here as intellectually flaccid - stubborn, sometimes mean, insulting, and irrational - but not stupid. Someone made a comment about Robin running away now, no longer posting, hiding after his last letter. I don't believe this. I'm just not sure there is anything more for him to say. I haven't read all of his words on FFL but I know there are enough to create a hefty manuscript. Now, having established that none of you a downright dumb, quite the opposite, I have to wonder what the hell more he could possibly say to any of you, what other admissions, explanations, reasons for his behaviour or beliefs he could give you. My theory is you want him to stick around because that compulsion, that desire for a heated debate that keeps you all here and that likes a good fight is missing out in his absence.

That is, they spent a large number of their posts dissing and demonizing (and in some cases slandering) three people who coinci- dentally are the three people Judy has been obsessing on and cyberstalking for years. One of Judy's minions even stupidly gave the people he'd been commissioned to diss a name, the Troika (referring to Vaj, Curtis, and myself).

During all that time there has rarely been a week in which a huge number of her posts were NOT devoted to trying to get him. Then Curtis and Vaj got added to the get list, and she's been consistent in trying to get them ever since, too. I think it's more than a little insane, and have said so. Just WATCH, and make your own assessments. My bet is that she will continue to spend a huge amount of her posts each week trying to get these three people. She really doesn't have a *choice* about doing this any more; this vindictive vendetta behavior *defines* her. But I could be wrong about all this. Just WATCH, and see if you think I am. The best part about making predictions like this is that Judy actually has the opportunity to prove them wrong, by simply NOT doing what I predict she'll do. But she never does.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Trend Analysis For Dummies
Ann, at this point I don't think much of it is really about Robin himself. As you say, he's left a hefty legacy of posts. He seemed to be having a lot of fun explaining his perspectives and engaging in friendly jousting before a few people started attacking him and distracted him from his original intention in participating here, to the point where, it seems, he decided there was no point in continuing. That's very much our loss, IMHO. What's happening now is that various patterns of how the regulars here treat each other are being questioned because those patterns were thrown into high relief by how the posters treated Robin. He's the case in point-- or one of them; Ravi, who had been thrown off the forum shortly before you arrived, is another--but it's all really *about* the other posters' behavior rather than Robin or Ravi themselves. FFL is a community, and as with any other community, there are lots of interpersonal dynamics that are constantly being hashed out. And as with any other community, there are a few members who enjoy stirring up trouble. Maybe the rest of us shouldn't allow ourselves to be stirred by them, but some of us--me included--have a hard time not calling attention to what we see as gross injustice and unfairness. On the other hand, while the conflict threads often seem to drown out anything else, there's a great diversity of interests here that many of us enjoy discussing--politics, music, movies, hobbies, as well as other spiritual systems and sorting through our TM-related experiences. Me, I prefer this kind of interaction and would be enthusiastically participating here if that was all there was. And I suspect I'm not alone in this. In any case, you came to FFL at a point where the conflicts predominated, so it's not surprising you've formed the impression that this is what FFL is about. But that's really only part of it. It's a mixed bag. Bottom line, it is what it is, and one stays or goes depending on whether one perceives the balance of positives and negatives to tip toward one or the other for oneself. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater no_reply@... wrote: Well, all I know is no one yet is holding a gun to any of you FFL'ers heads.

Robin is the most courageous person ever to grace FFLife. His quest for personal truth, to know himself, motivations, and weakness is admirable.

And yet he pulls it off, and much of it is extremely moving. I'm thinking particularly of the last scene in which Gandhi, alone on stage, sings the words of Krishna about how he manifests himself whenever unrighteous rules, and comes to restore balance. (It's the Gita, chapter 4 verses 5-8.) Saw the opera in the live telecast from the Met late last year.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Philip Glass - The Poet Acts
Yes, that's it! Good research, merudanda. I find the music mesmerizing, even in a YouTube clip where there is no context for it. There are not many contemporary operas where one can be confident about saying, This will still be performed in 50 years' time, but I think one can say this of Satyagraha. There is something timeless about it, and the way, in the Met production, the figure of Gandhi, in his obscure South African campaign, was linked to that of Martin Luther King was absolutely brilliant. Really brought the theme home to an American audience, and then of course at the end there is Gandhi singing the words of Krishna, which lifts the opera to an even higher plane. My deepest passion is for Wagner, and in this opera Philip Glass, in his high-mindedness, daring originality, and cosmic scope invites comparison to the old master, although I have not seen anyone make it. However one looks at it, Satyagraha is a masterpiece, a small miracle, I have no doubt about it. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, merudanda no_reply@... wrote: What a fest(ival) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cma7XC6AlAI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cma7XC6AlAI --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, feste37 feste37@ wrote: authfriend is right, as usual.

Albert Brooks certainly deserved one, as did in my opinion Gosling for Best Actor and Refn for Best Director. Drive was MUCH better than several of the films nominated for Best Film. Your description above may mislead some. He's a movie stunt driver during the day. But at night he moonlights as a getaway driver for hire. People hire him semi- anonymously, and he gives them a five-minute window during which he's theirs, and he'll do everything needed to help them get away. If they miss that five minute window, he's outa there, and they're on their own. The opening sequence, with him driving getaway for such a job, is a masterpiece in my opinion. Even the opening credits are wonderful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKZyzmN6_Ak The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWX34ShfcsE And then there's the elevator scene. That as much of a cinema masterpiece IMO as Hitchcock's shower scene in Psycho. There's a clip of it on YouTube, but I won't include it because some subtle sensibilities here might be offended.
[FairfieldLife] Re: Drive - a movie classic in our times
Thanks for the reminder Even Winding Refn has said the film was influenced by Halloween and The Transporter, and that it was a tribute to Taxi Driver it reminded of characters of loyalty, loneliness and the dark hard suppressed impulses typically portrayed by Steve McQueen or Clint Eastwood, too. Structured like a fairy tale, condensed with archetypal characters. like the Sergio Leone western you may watch for comparisons, especially to films of the Seventies and Eighties that pulsate with.early Michael Mann (Thief) and William Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A. Driver is a loner, suggesting Alain Delon in Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai. Like Alan Ladd in George Stevens' classic Western Shane, the loner meets a woman, with a young son. The way that this dark hero resonates across such varied cultures really is one of those things where I having no problem with this kind of genre or homage or straight remakes Drive may have a lot of comparisons and similarities with other films, but its still one of a kind, stands on it's own merits IMHO.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe6eOqheva8 --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu noozguru@... wrote: Drive is probably to violent for many FFL'ers but what a masterpiece!

Now, having established that none of you a downright dumb, quite the opposite, I have to wonder what the hell more he could possibly say to any of you, what other admissions, explanations, reasons for his behaviour or beliefs he could give you. Unless they were familiar with the peculiar dynamic of the WTS, I seriously doubt there's anything he could say (I'm leaving the diehard Aquinas fans out of this :-)). But even then his new wine does not find any comfort in those old skins, and he cringes at the thought of being forcibly placed in them again, esp. through coercion or trickery or surprise. The thought of being forced into that context again would be too much to bear. My theory is you want him to stick around because that compulsion, that desire for a heated debate that keeps you all here and that likes a good fight is missing out in his absence.

Wolff is, I'm sure. called a marxist or communist  but he makes a lot of interesting points and has ideas that could be implemented in a democracy.  Personally, I would love a government job at a living wage at this point in my life for a variety of reasons.  Barsamian:  What practical steps could the Obama administration take to address the inequalities that the protesters (OWS) are pointing out? (as in the economic inequality being furthered by both the Republican and Democratic parties, as represented by their financial backers) Wolff:  It might be too late for that.  Obama had many chances and took none of them.  He repeatedly compromises with the Right and ignores or throws minor concessions to his core constituents.  Nothing short of a major reversal of everything his administration has done would convert him into an ally of OWS. Barsamian:  So who is most to blame for the mess we're in? Wolff:  We should be beyond blaming the poor or the rich.  Everybody did his or her part to contribute to this crisis.  The bankers did what bankers do; the working people did what working people do.  Everyone tried to make this system work for them.  Workers couldn't pay back their debts for understandable reasons. Employers stopped raising wages (which have stagnated since the 1970's for the middle class) because the system allowed them to do it. When a system has everybody playing more or less by the rules and achieves the level of dysfunction that we have now, it's time to stop looking for scapegoats and understand that the problem is the system itself.  It's driving everyone in it - corporations, individuals, banks, businesses on Main Street, whomever - to act in ways that are bad for the economy as a whole. Barsamian:  What immediate steps would you recommend? (in terms of fixing the current system) Wolff:  I would focus on one short-term step that ought to be taken immediately, and one intermediate step that will be harder to take. ...We ought to have a national jobs program to put our unemployed back to work (yes, back to the 30's), and end the plan that has now failed for four and a half years, the plan of Presidents Bush and Obama, which is to provide incentives for the private sector to hire people.  Unemployment is as high now as it was three years ago.  It is unconscionable and unethical to stick with a policy of proven failure. Two and a half years ago President Obama designed a stimulus program that was supposed to put people back to work.  It offered incentives of various kinds: tax cuts and subsidies that would hopefully lead the private sector to hire more people. It cost roughly $800 billion and was passed by Congress.  It didn't solve the problem.  In September 2011 President Obama went on television again to propose yet another stimulus, only this package was half the size of the one before it.  Obviously, if the first one failed, this one cannot work either. The solution is for the government to hire people directly.  Use every dollar of the program to create government jobs, not to provide incentives, some of which will end up in the hands of executives or shareholders.  You want to put people to work?  Hire them and pay them a decent salary.  We could be building public transportationetc., etc.. More important than that, and a bit more far-reaching, is the need to democratize our enterprises..Right now, all the decisions are made by a tiny group of people.  In most corporations that group is the board of directors: 15 to 20 people who decide what to produce, how and where to produce it, and what to do with the profits.  And who selects these people?  The major

Nothing wrong with it at all, but for some it may be an acquired taste (one I haven't acquired). I don't think Feste meant it as a criticism. He was just mimicking that style in words.

Turq, in reading this literally, you are living in the weirdest illusion. Is this really the reality you embrace? The story you are perpetuating is what is *insane* here. Do you need a hug? The most lucid line in your post is *I could be wrong about all this*. Hold onto that doubt and try to chip through those concrete prison walls you seem to have constructed for yourself. It's amazing the power you give the woman you dislike so much - it's virtual paranoia on the page. I gave you an out here (do you see it?). I hope your day has improved.

I suggested that the person who recruited them and constantly stroked and praised them every time they demonized one of the three people she'd trained them to demonize would freak out, and do so in such a way that her tactics would become more obvious to lurkers here. I suggest that's what has happened. Because people here seem to have embarrassingly short memories, a lot of you might not remember what this place was like just a few weeks ago. There was a team of people, all care- fully recruited by Judy, who week after week after week did exactly what was expected of them. That is, they spent a large number of their posts dissing and demonizing (and in some cases slandering) three people who coinci- dentally are the three people Judy has been obsessing on and cyberstalking for years. One of Judy's minions even stupidly gave the people he'd been commissioned to diss a name, the Troika (referring to Vaj, Curtis, and myself). Every week it was the same Judy and the Pips act, as Jim, Ravi, and Robin (occasionally aided by Nabby and Raunchydog, and further back by Bob Price) did as they'd been taught to do and constantly ragged on one or more of these three people. But then they self-destructed. Ravi went down in flames, followed shortly by Robin. Jimbo has put himself on a posting out diet, consistently going over the posting limit such that he posts for a week, then sits on the bench for a week, and then repeats that same pattern. I have suggested that this provides an opportunity for the people of FFL to see exactly where this demonization of Curtis, Vaj and myself COMES FROM. With her minions all gone, and only Raunchydog to help her out, Judy has to try to reactivate the Vaj is a liar meme and the Curtis is unethical meme and the Barry is just plain evil meme every week ALL BY HERSELF. And she has. And my prediction is that she will continue to do so. I'm making this prediction so that people start to NOTICE. She has been running this same number for years. 2011 was the worst year yet, because she managed to recruit a team of backup dissers to either pile on to her demon- izations of the evil Troika or initiate their own. Now they're pretty much all gone. so she has to do it herself. With a little help from Raunchy, of course. Just WATCH, people. Try to NOTICE what this crazy woman's TRENDS are on this forum. Is there a theme she keeps coming back to, week after week after week, as if it's some kind of obsession for her, one that she can never let go of? I suggest that there is. Unlike her, I am not suggesting that anyone DO anything in particular about Judy and her obsessions. Just NOTICE them, that's all, and factor that into your assessments of either her, or of the three people she consistently tries to get. The woman's a broken record. She has been fixated on trying to get the same three people for years now. In one case, she's been trying to get the person for SEVENTEEN YEARS. During all that time there has rarely been a week in which a huge number of her posts were NOT devoted to trying to get him. Then Curtis and Vaj got added to the get list, and she's been consistent in trying to get them ever since, too. I think it's more than a little insane, and have said so. Just WATCH, and make your own assessments. My bet is that she will continue to spend a huge amount of her posts each week trying to get these three people. She really doesn't have a *choice* about doing this any more; this vindictive vendetta behavior *defines* her. But I could be wrong about all this. Just WATCH, and see if you think I am. The best part about making predictions like this is that Judy actually has the opportunity to prove them wrong, by simply NOT doing what I predict she'll do. But she never does. She always does pretty much *exactly* what I predict she'll do. I don't think she is capable of doing anything else. The Troika and her obsession with them run her life. We're pretty much all she's got.

[FairfieldLife] Highly recommended clinic for Panchakarma in India
Ayurveda, the science of life, stems from the Vedic civilization of India and stands as the most ancient and comprehensive health system in the world. The term Ayurveda combines two Sanskrit words `Ayus' which means life, and `Veda' which means knowledge or science. Ayurveda is eternal, without beginning and end, because the laws of life are universal and timeless . - Charak Samhita - Ayurveda, based on the timeless knowledge for enlivening the unlimited inner intelligence of mind and body has been practiced in India since thousands of years; it has been passed on from generation to generation as an oral tradition and later, also in the written form. Since in the last few centuries the holistic approach of Ayurveda became lost, even in India mainly a fragmented form has been practiced in recent times. At the end of the 1970s the Indian sage Maharishi Mahesh Yogi inspired and initiated the revival of Ayurveda. Under his guidance a number of India's most renowned and experienced Ayurvedic physicians came together to share their knowledge, to integrate the proven methods of the various family traditions and to restore the science of Ayurveda to its original wholeness. In addition to this the guardians of long held secret formulas and procedures in many traditional Ayurvedic families were motivated by Maharishi to share their wisdom for the first time. By now Ayurveda has spread throughout the world and is recognized and practiced worldwide as a unique, holistic and most profound health system. In the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the Vedic Village we offer authentic Ayurvedic treatments in its traditional pure form under the expert guidance of Dr.Narayanan Nambi, member of a famous Ashtavaidya tradition (SNA). Ashtavaidyas are believed to be the traditional Ayurvedic physicians of Kerala belonging to the Namboothiri community. They are masters of the eight branches of medicine from which the name Ashtavaidya is originated. They wrote several books incorporating their observations and clinical experiences.Chikitsa Manjari,Yogamithram,Abhidhana Manjari,Alathur Manipravalam,Sindoora Manjari, and Kairaly commentary on Ashtanga Hridayam are some of them. Sree Narayana Ayurveda(SNA) was founded in 1920 by the great Ayurveda physician Ashtavaidyan Thrissur Thaikat Unni Mooss. By now SNA includes a well equipped Ayurvedic medicine manufacturing unit with export division, an Ayurvedic hospital and Ayurvedic Academy with research and publication division. Ayurveda at Maitreyi starts with a personal consultation by the Vaidya (physician). The Vaidya will assess your health requirements, will give personal recommendations and the specific treatment program. Exclusive attention and care is our aim: to achieve this, we admit only a limited number of persons at a time. AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PACKAGES AT MAITREYI Maitreyi offers numerous Ayurvedic treatment packages carried out under the guidance of the Vaidya. PRAVESHIKA (7 DAYS) TASTE OF AYURVEDA SWASTHYA (7-14 DAYS) STRESS AND ANXIETY PROGRAM PUNARNAVA (14-21 DAYS) REJUVENATION PROGRAM JEEVANIYA (21-28 DAYS) DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM COST OF AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS AT MAITREYI http://www.maitreyivedic.in/pdf/Maitrey_treatments_costs.pdf Depending on the types of treatment, duration of your stay and accommodation in single/double occupancy the cost will vary between Rs.3300 (55 Euros) and Rs.5400 (90 Euros) per day (all inclusive - Ayurvedic treatment, accommodation and Ayurvedic vegetarian food).

Director Nicolas Refn gets great performances even with actors who have minor roles including Christina Hendricks (Mad Men). Gosling plays a movie stunt driver who gets in trouble when he helps his neighbor. There are some pretty amazing car stunts in the film. This is a film in the style of the old Steve McQueen movies like Getaway. I watched the film on Bluray which includes some interesting extras and an interview Refn. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/ Glad to hear you liked it. It was one of my favorite films of the year, and I thought it criminal that it was snubbed in the Oscar nominations. Albert Brooks certainly deserved one, as did in my opinion Gosling for Best Actor and Refn for Best Director. Drive was MUCH better than several of the films nominated for Best Film. Your description above may mislead some. He's a movie stunt driver during the day. But at night he moonlights as a getaway driver for hire. People hire him semi- anonymously, and he gives them a five-minute window during which he's theirs, and he'll do everything needed to help them get away. If they miss that five minute window, he's outa there, and they're on their own. The opening sequence, with him driving getaway for such a job, is a masterpiece in my opinion. Even the opening credits are wonderful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKZyzmN6_Ak The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWX34ShfcsE And then there's the elevator scene. That as much of a cinema masterpiece IMO as Hitchcock's shower scene in Psycho. There's a clip of it on YouTube, but I won't include it because some subtle sensibilities here might be offended. The description was the log line. I have to move on to other forums and so I don't often get deep into analyzing the movie. As Merudanda pointed out it is classic fairy-tale form which is discussed in the extras. I don't often watch awards shows because the voting has become so political and commercially driven. Too many neurotically challenged Americans wouldn't like the slow pace and silence in the film.

I have to agree, Raunchy. Beautifully said. Not an easy person to understand; I'm still trying to figure him out. I once told him that from everything we'd heard about his past, we'd have expected him to be some kind of raving lunatic. Instead we got this probing intelligence, some brilliant writing, a devastating sense of irony larded with the sharpest wit, a charming sense of humor about himself as well as others, flashes of penetrating intuition, a thirst to explore ideas--some of which, granted, were pretty strange!--altogether an exhilarating education in direct engagement and boundary-pushing.

[FairfieldLife] Italian Cruise Lines
I got the following in an email. Further sleuthing however indicated it is not likely true that Sir Winston Churchill said this. After his retirement Winston Chrichill was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian cruise liner and some italian journalists asked why an ex British Prime Minister should chose an Italian ship. 'There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruise ship' said Churchill. 'First their cuisine is unsurpassed. Second their service is superb. And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first'. However this quote seems to be spurious. Things like this, applied to French ocean liners seems to have appeared in the early 20th century. Eventually it morphed into Italian cruise ships, and a similar quote is attributed to Noel Coward. Looking through various books of quotations seems to show that most are culled now from the Internet, as they are all practically the same. There are various quotations by Maharishi in print. These are sometimes revised when the TMO republishes something. Others of us have heard him say things, which we remember, but cannot verify with a public source, or have heard others say he said directly. These quotations are often the most interesting because they have not been vetted by the censorious, but at some point soon, they will have passed out of historical recollection.

I am not sure what he fears other than losing his hard-fought struggle to make sense of his life or his ability to refrain from hurting people ever again. I am not sure how I would qualify as a failed exorcism because I have not come back to get him. I also don't think Robin has any desire to confront again, that was a big responsibility and a burden to have carried all those years ago and according to him he hated it. Upon reading his FFL posts over the last few months it appears that, if anything, he submitted himself to the confrontation of others. I am in perplexity as to why he let it go on for as long as did. I can only relate to this man as he appears on FFL, as he seems to be 25 years later and I freely admit that I am supporting him because I can sense that he is not the same Robin.

[FairfieldLife] To My Old Master
From the Web site LettersofNote.com: In August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdan Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm. Jourdan who, since being emancipated, had moved to Ohio, found paid work, and was now supporting his family responded spectacularly by way of the letter seen below (a letter which, according to newspapers at the time, he dictated) [Be sure to read to the end.--JS] Dayton, Ohio, August 7, 1865 To My Old Master, Colonel P.H. Anderson, Big Spring, Tennessee Sir: I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you long before this, for harboring Rebs they found at your house. I suppose they never heard about your going to Colonel Martin's to kill the Union soldier that was left by his company in their stable. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt, and am glad you are still living. It would do me good to go back to the dear old home again, and see Miss Mary and Miss Martha and Allen, Esther, Green, and Lee. Give my love to them all, and tell them I hope we will meet in the better world, if not in this. I would have gone back to see you all when I was working in the Nashville Hospital, but one of the neighbors told me that Henry intended to shoot me if he ever got a chance. I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here. I get twenty-five dollars a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy,the folks call her Mrs. Anderson,and the childrenMilly, Jane, and Grundygo to school and are learning well. The teacher says Grundy has a head for a preacher. They go to Sunday school, and Mandy and me attend church regularly. We are kindly treated. Sometimes we overhear others saying, Them colored people were slaves down in Tennessee. The children feel hurt when they hear such remarks; but I tell them it was no disgrace in Tennessee to belong to Colonel Anderson. Many darkeys would have been proud, as I used to be, to call you master. Now if you will write and say what wages you will give me, I will be better able to decide whether it would be to my advantage to move back again. As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores, and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At twenty-five dollars a month for me, and two dollars a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to eleven thousand six hundred and eighty dollars. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor's visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to. Please send the money by Adams's Express, in care of V. Winters, Esq., Dayton, Ohio. If you fail to pay us for faithful labors in the past, we can have little faith in your promises in the future. We trust the good Maker has opened your eyes to the wrongs which you and your fathers have done to me and my fathers, in making us toil for you for generations without recompense. Here I draw my wages every Saturday night; but in Tennessee there was never any pay-day for the negroes any more than for the horses and cows. Surely there will be a day of reckoning for those who defraud the laborer of his hire. In answering this letter, please state if there would be any safety for my Milly and Jane, who are now grown up, and both good-looking girls. You know how it was with poor Matilda and Catherine. I would rather stay here and starveand die, if it come to thatthan have my girls brought to shame by the violence and wickedness of their young masters. You will also please state if there has been any schools opened for the colored children in your neighborhood. The great desire of my life now is to give my children an education, and have them form virtuous habits. Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.

I am not sure what he fears other than losing his hard-fought struggle to make sense of his life or his ability to refrain from hurting people ever again. I am not sure how I would qualify as a failed exorcism because I have not come back to get him. Well, no, in a failed exorcism the priest would have failed in his duty. In Catholic realms - Aquinas most certainly would agree - he would at very least need to be replaced by some more competent exorcist. No? Were you some how de-demonized later by other WTS folks? In this case it would be a person who failed - in your (and others) certain confrontation(s). You should at least get reimbursed for the last course cost. He owes you. Karmically, socially, financially. That's not a nice position to be in A. I also don't think Robin has any desire to confront again, that was a big responsibility and a burden to have carried all those years ago and according to him he hated it. Upon reading his FFL posts over the last few months it appears that, if anything, he submitted himself to the confrontation of others. I am in perplexity as to why he let it go on for as long as did.

If Robin minds - he can feel free to contact me offline. I'm always happy to hear from him. Till then, I'll drop it in the files section when I get a chance. I can only relate to this man as he appears on FFL, as he seems to be 25 years later and I freely admit that I am supporting him because I can sense that he is not the same Robin.

As I said before and I'll say again, under-moderated lists are magnets for the personality disordered. The only difference here is that FFL gets personality disordered TMers, fried from too much rounding or simple over-meditation.

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@... wrote: Recently I made some predictions as to what was going to happen in the wake of both Ravi and Robin self- destructing. I suggested that the person who recruited them and constantly stroked and praised them every time they demonized one of the three people she'd trained them to demonize would freak out, and do so in such a way that her tactics would become more obvious to lurkers here. I suggest that's what has happened. Because people here seem to have embarrassingly short memories, a lot of you might not remember what this place was like just a few weeks ago. There was a team of people, all care- fully recruited by Judy, who week after week after week did exactly what was expected of them. That is, they spent a large number of their posts dissing and demonizing (and in some cases slandering) three people who coinci- dentally are the three people Judy has been obsessing on and cyberstalking for years. One of Judy's minions even stupidly gave the people he'd been commissioned to diss a name, the Troika (referring to Vaj, Curtis, and myself). Every week it was the same Judy and the Pips act, as Jim, Ravi, and Robin (occasionally aided by Nabby and Raunchydog, and further back by Bob Price) did as they'd been taught to do and constantly ragged on one or more of these three people. But then they self-destructed. Ravi went down in flames, followed shortly by Robin. Jimbo has put himself on a posting out diet, consistently going over the posting limit such that he posts for a week, then sits on the bench for a week, and then repeats that same pattern. I have suggested that this provides an opportunity for the people of FFL to see exactly where this demonization of Curtis, Vaj and myself COMES FROM. With her minions all gone, and only Raunchydog to help her out, Judy has to try to reactivate the Vaj is a liar meme and the Curtis is unethical meme and the Barry is just plain evil meme every week ALL BY HERSELF. And she has. And my prediction is that she will continue to do so. I'm making this prediction so that people start to NOTICE. She has been running this same number for years. 2011 was the worst year yet, because she managed to recruit a team of backup dissers to either pile on to her demon- izations of the evil Troika or initiate their own. Now they're pretty much all gone. so she has to do it herself. With a little help from Raunchy, of course. Just WATCH, people. Try to NOTICE what this crazy woman's TRENDS are on this forum. Is there a theme she keeps coming back to, week after week after week, as if it's some kind of obsession for her, one that she can never let go of? I suggest that there is. Unlike her, I am not suggesting that anyone DO anything in particular about Judy and her obsessions. Just NOTICE them, that's all, and factor that into your assessments of either her, or of the three people she consistently tries to get. The woman's a broken record. She has been fixated on trying to get the same three people for years now. In one case, she's been trying to get the person for SEVENTEEN YEARS. During all that time there has rarely been a week in which a huge number of her posts were NOT devoted to trying to get him. Then Curtis and Vaj got added to the get list, and she's been consistent in trying to get them ever since, too. I think it's more than a little insane, and have said so. Just WATCH, and make your own assessments. My bet is that she will continue to spend a huge amount of her posts each week trying to get these three people. She really doesn't have a *choice* about doing this any more; this vindictive vendetta behavior *defines* her. But I could be wrong about all this. Just WATCH, and see if you think I am. The best part about making predictions like this is that Judy actually has the opportunity to prove them wrong, by simply NOT doing what I predict she'll do. But she never does. She always does pretty much *exactly* what I predict she'll do. I don't think she is capable of doing anything else. The Troika and her obsession with them run her life. We're pretty much all she's got. Awe. Thanks, dear. I didn't make, the list. ; )

[FairfieldLife] Re: Trend Analysis For Dummies
In fact, Robin's initial responses to people who attacked him were typically nonconfrontational, more gentle irony and self-deprecation and even reaching out to find common ground than returning the hostility. Once it became clear after awhile that approach wasn't going to be productive with certain people (interestingly, it did work with Ravi), he did let himself get hostile and confrontational. You, of course, were a special case. The two of you seemed to be working toward a remarkably close understanding of each other, then something went wrong. He started getting responses from you that he didn't expect and didn't like, and rightly or wrongly, he felt that mutual understanding had been betrayed. The way I read his posts to you, he wanted nothing more than to overcome the discord that had arisen and get back to the relationship he had had with you previously. But he thought the discord needed to be worked out, not papered over, or the relationship would have lost its grounding in mutual honesty. I don't think Ann meant to suggest she saw him as a victim. I certainly didn't see him that way. When things got harshly confrontational, he gave as good as he got, usually better. And yes, he saw confrontation as an inherently two-way process. But he never attacked gratuitously, only in response, and it didn't make sense to him that a person who attempted to confront him wouldn't respond to his response. He just didn't get the point of drive-by confrontation. But I think he would much rather *not* have engaged in confrontation, at least not hostile confrontation. He invited challenge to his perspective and reveled in dealing with it. He said, in fact, that this was what he was here for. But then he let himself get distracted by the vicious unfriendliness emanating from certain quarters. That was his choice, and ultimately he seems to have realized he'd sacrificed and even nullified his original purpose for participating. And the largely unsympathetic response to his confession--especially yours--sealed the deal. He wasn't driven off, he just left when he perceived that the costs were beginning to outweigh the benefits. That's my sense of it, anyway. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, curtisdeltablues curtisdeltablues@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, awoelflebater no_reply@ wrote: Upon reading his FFL posts over the last few months it appears that, if anything, he submitted himself to the confrontation of others.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Trend Analysis For Dummies
You are correct Curtis, he was and is not a victim. He chose to keep looking at this site, to put his fingers on the keyboard in order to respond to whatever post motivated him to do so. Like I said, no one is being held hostage here to continue to participate. I don't feel sorry for Robin. He is equipped with enough intelligence, gumption and energy to prove a formidable intellectual and, I believe, spiritual match for most people. However, I can still sense when things get a little brutal and that courageous fighter becomes just a little more desperate, stumbles on occasion, looks over his shoulder to see how close the wall is and I can feel empathy at that point. Robin is just a human being who is feeling his away along in the world like the rest of us. He stood on a stage for awhile, under the lights playing out a role that, thankfully, most of us have not had to take on. How much was his personal choice I have no idea. Robin is a complete mystery to me in some very fundamental ways. You say you shared some special friendship for him. I can understand that. You recollect that he started to make you feel pressured by his confrontational, relentless demands. I can relate. You don't want to put up with it anymore, you seem to have determined that whatever good things you had going between the two of you is not worth this subsequent needling and pricking by this person who has no real right to do this to you. I totally get it. You have every right to feel what you do. And I trust you have looked hard at yourself and your actions that presumably motivated Robin to start confronting you and determined it was unwarranted.

I think we have to realize that it took many years for R. to process what he went through - whatever each of us might believe that to be - and then he's forced to potentially confront YOUonline? It's just too exacting a mirror to stare into. I'm just not sure there is anything more for him to say. I haven't read all of his words on FFL but I know there are enough to create a hefty manuscript. Now, having established that none of you a downright dumb, quite the opposite, I have to wonder what the hell more he could

He owes you. Karmically, socially, financially. Oh, no,no. You misunderstand my situation Vaj. Maybe you mean this in some sort of empathetic, caring way but I would have to disagree here. You see, I love the end result that all of my time around Robin, my mutual friends and fellow participants has resulted in. It turned out to be a great adventure. I couldn't afford what this would have cost me in money. Socially I reaped the rewards in terms of the deepest most intimate relationships I am ever likely to have. My closest friends and I came together intimately while involved in the crazy drama and became even closer when extricating ourselves. We emerged comrades in arms. Financially I worked off every seminar, consultation and whatever else could have cost money by working behind that camera, thousands of hours of being a paid watcher. So don't feel sorry for me. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj vajradhatu@... wrote: On Feb 1, 2012, at 6:14 PM, awoelflebater wrote: You don't think he fears the sudden appearance of a failed exorcism? Your strong character, your obvious beauty and your integrity? Shucks Vaj, as much as I would like to believe this may be true I don't believe Robin fears me. Really? At least digitally, on the record? I am not sure what he fears other than losing his hard-fought struggle to make sense of his life or his ability to refrain from hurting people ever again. I am not sure how I would qualify as a failed exorcism because I have not come back to get him. Well, no, in a failed exorcism the priest would have failed in his duty. In Catholic realms - Aquinas most certainly would agree - he would at very least need to be replaced by some more competent exorcist. No? Were you some how de-demonized later by other WTS folks? In this case it would be a person who failed - in your (and others) certain confrontation(s). You should at least get reimbursed for the last course cost. He owes you. Karmically, socially, financially. That's not a nice position to be in A. I also don't think Robin has any desire to confront again, that was a big responsibility and a burden to have carried all those years ago and according to him he hated it. Upon reading his FFL posts over the last few months it appears that, if anything, he submitted himself to the confrontation of others. I am in perplexity as to why he let it go on for as long as did. I'd be interested to talk to family members - any in the online Sarah Carlsen genealogy or others. Robin may have been one of those 'lab kids' with a weird psychologist Mom, for all I know - I wouldn't put it past him. He won't even comment. That's why we should publish (I believe one of his primary texts has no ISBN) the entire written RWC glossary. Pretty funny reading it all now. If Robin minds - he can feel free to contact me offline. I'm always happy to hear from him. Till then, I'll drop it in the files section when I get a chance. I can only relate to this man as he appears on FFL, as he seems to be 25 years later and I freely admit that I am supporting him because I can sense that he is not the same Robin. And based on the man I think he is now he deserves my respect and my sensitivity to what he has and continues to struggle with. That's a really balanced and nuanced response. Thanks A.
