He wouldn't. And I wouldn't either. But at least the concepts are
*understandable* via human consciousness, that's quite an achievement.

That's the bit that really surprised me too. I had kind of
assumed that the Planck scale was just an order of magnitude
or so smaller than the smallest known subatomic particle, but
it's at least 20 orders smaller, makes me wonder what else lies 
between the two that we haven't discovered yet.

And I'd never even heard of yoctometer! I'm going to work
out everything I do in yoctometers from now on. 

For instance, I'm 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000 yoctometers tall and I'm going for a 
ten mile hike today. I suspect I'm going to need a majorly good calculator

For some reason it didn't come out as a link, cut and paste and
have a go, it's really good, like an encyclopedia graded on size
rather than alphabetically.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Utopia

[Emily Reyn]

{snip} I would hate to be forced to use Emily as a human shield; she may
not be as clueless as I am, but I'm sure she's a lot more cynical (smiley face).

Dear Bob, my "shield of human-ness" has taken a lot of hits of late and I am 
trying on a new reality - that of emulating Share's approach to me and all 
others' she has determined are exhibiting negativity - particularly of the 
nasty and sniping variety.  I found this treasure tonight (under the heading 
Auric Shield) on an internet healing site, so I know that it has a lot of 
"street cred."  Share has mastered this technique and I think she may have 
written these exact words, in fact (the ones in the first paragraph.) 

What this means is for me is: no more attempts to creatively insult; no more 
cynicism or irony; no helping others help themselves with pseudo-insightful 
observations; no more self-serving, creepy humor.  Now, you must realize, I've 
been practicing and learning all these important skills right here, but I have 
seen the gemstone of therapeutic wonderment and have had a change of being.  

The "heart on the sleeve" shield I have been using is covered in blood spatter 
and must go in for repair; the breaches in my security resulted in dramatics of 
grandiose proportions over the holidays (Share, poor woman, had to weather the 
bulk of my distress); I have been kicked out of the inner circle of my favorite 
cute (I mean "cult") leader, who has apparently retired to the sandy beaches of 
somewhere for more introspection.   


I am going to visualize an auric shield, as described below (paragraph 2) and 
go forth into the wide world of wonderfulness; it is an apt consequence to my 
many irritating digressions from love and logic that FFL so patiently and 
compassionately allowed me to display, as I flailed and wallowed my way back, 
these past 2 years, to a state where I believe that I may be able to "act as 
if," if the knowingness of my first person ontology fails me at any given time. 

My astrological chart tells me that February is the month for me to move to the 
front lines, go where the action is, feel the fear and do it anyway, take up 
drawing, unpack the clothes, become accountable, raise my standards, take care 
of business, etc., etc., etc. 

I guess I say all this to say that my recovery from cluelessness and cynicism 
is likely to be of painfully long duration, but I am confident that my auric 
shield will protect us both, and I promise that "when you call my name, I will 
be there" (I do tend to run a bit late, but I'll work on that too), to distract 
and dramatize as needed.  Love, Emily.  

"AURIC SHIELD


I have been working on the ability to remain unaffected by and not absorb 
negative words or negative energies of other people.
One way I have been doing this is by simply not responding to comments that 
annoy me. By not dignifying the comment with a reply or a defense, I can keep

The other way is through creating an auric shield. To do this, I imagine my 
aura growing, expanding, and sparkling. It is a protective bubble that I 
envision, through which negativity simply cannot penetrate."

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Utopia

I live in a valley so can't get any OTA signals (Over The Air).  But 
KCSM channels are on Comcast but I haven't paid much attention to the 
sub channels.  I had a Terk that I lent to my nephew who doesn't know 
where it is.  It had an amp on it.  I need to take my laptop with the 
cheap K-World USB tuner up to Starbucks at the top of the hill and see 
how many Sacramento stations I can get with the little antenna.  The 
smog check place had a converter and rabbit ears and were getting most 
of the valley stations.  The tuner works with QAM (cable) too.

 People are going to think I'm being cynical when I
 say this, but I really don't think I am. I believe
 that the primary reason that subtitled movies have
 lost their market in the US is that many Americans,
 as many as 50-60%, simply can't read well enough
 or fast enough to enjoy a subtitled movie.

 Lucky for you that they are. Some of the best UK
 series, not to mention Danish and Swedish, that I've
 seen in the past few years have still never appeared
 on US TV (or even on DVD/BR, according to my friends),
 except as remakes.

 The French cop series I talked about recently, "Braquo,"
 is headed for a remake, too, which means that Americans
 will miss out on some *superb* performances by the
 French actors.

 I'll bet that there hasn't even been an American release
 of one of the best UK series of past years, "The Shadow
 Line," right?

[FairfieldLife] The Imposter

[Duveyoung]

See this film and  "fall in love" with a psychopath.  A real psychopath. Not 
kidding. 

This film rated 95% at RottenTomatoes -- deserved.

This film is a study on how ANYONE can tell a big big lie and everyone buys 
into it for the longest time despite the most obvious warnings 
otherwise.that is TM could have been started by the psychopath in this 
documentary if he'd had been born in India instead of France.

A heavily "as told by" tale from EVERY point of view -- each a blind man 
feeling the elephant that WE ALSO are groping without eyes.

Turns out, maybe we gots us a whole lotta psychpaths running around out there, 
and we just don't want to see it that way.

Yup, I do believe that.

Get a good strong antenna (Terk seems to have monopolized the market), and aim 
it towards San Mateo and points north. I get about 65 broadcast channels, 
overall. Maybe 20 worth watching.

People are going to think I'm being cynical when I 
say this, but I really don't think I am. I believe
that the primary reason that subtitled movies have
lost their market in the US is that many Americans,
as many as 50-60%, simply can't read well enough
or fast enough to enjoy a subtitled movie. 

***BP:

As a committed member of the great unwashed, is it me or did one the above 
informants,
who appears to watch television a lot, call Danish an accent; and another
informant, who also appears to watch a lot of TV, not only agreed, but also
informed us that the reason viewers in America won't watch programming with
Danish accents is that they can't read well enough? 


As a side bar, I consulted my thesaurus and for the life of me I couldn't find
"cynical" as a synonym for *clueless*.


Now, Share Long, if I've been ironic inadvertently, behaved like an attention 
vampire, or,
much worse---violated the bounds of Whimsical Wednesday, please don't come
after me, as I would hate to be forced to use Emily as a human shield; she may
not be as clueless as I am, but I'm sure she's a lot more cynical (smiley face).

Buck,

On behalf of many of us here, I want to thank you for your service in
this regard.  Many a cold wintry morning, I know you were in your car in
the parking lot of the Maharishi Pantanjali Golden Dome.  And many a hot
afternoon, there you were as well, all for the cause of creating
coherence in world conscioussness.

And Buck, I know many us, felt an upsurge of pride when you received
notice that you had formally been accepted to practice yogi flying in
the actual confines of the dome.  It was as though one of our own had
finally been admitted into the inner sanctum.

And you have carried the flag, not only of a ordinary participant of
FFL, but as an actual resident of Fairfield. This, you let us know on a
regular basis.

I understand that you have carried this burden of public defender for a
long time, and now, with a new year beginning, it is a good time to
re-evaluate your responsibilities.  Buck you have brought honor and
distinction to this role.

I am sure I am not alone in wishing that at some point you may
reconsider this decision.

Some folks order the DVDs and play them using a multi-region player. Or

Some episodes showed up on YouTube but I liked "Luther" better.  I swear 
some of the BBC America offerings are more for Brits in the US not 
Americans especially their cooking and variety shows.  A number of the 
sci-fi productions still wind up on Syfy.

HRV "is said" to be an indicator of balanced SNS activity(?). I guess
that means there's no unnecessary increase in ones sympathetic ("flight or

Anyone heard of measurements of HRV in connection with TM?

Anti-kapha: small. Anti-vata: large.  Anti-pitta: same.  Others have

People are going to think I'm being cynical when I 
say this, but I really don't think I am. I believe
that the primary reason that subtitled movies have
lost their market in the US is that many Americans,
as many as 50-60%, simply can't read well enough
or fast enough to enjoy a subtitled movie.

Lucky for you that they are. Some of the best UK
series, not to mention Danish and Swedish, that I've
seen in the past few years have still never appeared
on US TV (or even on DVD/BR, according to my friends), 
except as remakes. 

The French cop series I talked about recently, "Braquo,"
is headed for a remake, too, which means that Americans
will miss out on some *superb* performances by the
French actors. 

I'll bet that there hasn't even been an American release
of one of the best UK series of past years, "The Shadow
Line," right?

The American general public unless it's PBS or BBC America can't 
tolerate accents much at all.  So the remakes.  Yup, dumbing down for 
the stupid.   They don't like subtitles either so "The Killing" got a 
remake.  They also don't like dubbing which is kinda funny as they 
denounce 1970s Italian films not knowing that all languages including 
Italian got dubbed so they didn't need to stomp carpenters on the 
adjacent set to stop hammering why they shot a scene.  The money is to 
be made on the stupid when it comes to advertising.

However some of the foreign languages and UK series do wind up on Netflix.

It really is sad how the Brits audiences are so much
smarter than the American ones. I think that may be
the limitation that keeps UK and Danish producers
from holding out for a direct release or a subtitled
release in the U.S. 

"The Killing" was SO much better in its Danish original
that it makes the American remake pale by comparison,
and I actually *liked* the remake...for what it was. 

The best TV series I saw last year, "The Bridge," or
"Bron/Broen," also from Denmark, looks as if it will 
never get an American release. Instead they are going 
to remake it. I shudder to imagine the result. Both
of these series were *enormous* hits in the UK, 
although subtitled. 

The thing is, the American networks somehow believe 
that Americans are too stupid to follow even the Brit
accents in English-language UK series (and they might 
be right), so they remake *them*, too. This one ("Utopia") 
is quite interesting, at least judging by the first 
episode that I just watched. You'd really enjoy it. A 
pity that it will probably be remade for the US market 
as well...

Wonder when it will make it across the pond?  Too British in style often 
means it may be available on Netflix and other streaming services.  OR 
... the bad... remade as a US series and the Channel 4 version kept out 
of the US as part of the deal.  Something like this happened with "The

Cool. And even cooler that it is so well seeded that the
first three episodes took under five minutes to download,
total, so I'll try to check them out later. 

I just finished watching "Silver Lining Playbook" and 
although that was way pleasant and although Jennifer
Lawrence and Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro were all
wonderful in it, I was looking for something a little 
grittier to follow it up with. This sounds like just 
the ticket.

It was partially a test of Redbox Instant. There was some confusion over 
whether those of us who signed up for the beta would be able to use the 
DVD credit towards a BD by paying the difference. Nope, but supposedly 
once it is live we'll be able to do so. But for me to keep the 
subscription beyond the trial period they have to get the app on BD 
players. The press release late last year said Samsung players so 
yesterday I hooked up my C5500 which has been gathering dust and let it 
update but no Redbox app yet. They don't have much to offer different 
from Netflix but you do get 4 DVD rental credits a month for the $8 
subscription. So far I have watched two movies on Redbox Instant but 
sitting at the computer ain't all that fun with a 53" screen that I'd 
rather watch on.

BTW, the "House of Cards" series debuts this Friday for Netflixers. 
Looks like it is going to be interesting. Tonight is the pilot of "The 
Americans" on FX, a series about Russia spies in the US during the Cold War.

[FairfieldLife] Utopia

[salyavin808]

No, it's nothing pleasant but it is a UK TV show well worth checking out.

Suppose your favourite comic book turned out to be true? OK if it
was a Disney production but Utopia is a dark tale of conspiracy,
madness, sinister genetic experiments and finally, forced
incarceration in a mental hospital. Suppose you acquired the next
installment and someone didn't want you to read it. Someone who
would stop at nothing?

With all due respect, "Bambi" is too brutal for some
of the tender souls of FFL.  :-)

I think I wrote something about the film here earlier,
and I'll stick with that, whatever it was :-), and just
add that although "In Bruges" it ain't, as Bhairitu
says it's a great ride.

I loved all the clever insides about film and the making
of film, and the moebius-strip-ness of it all -- a film
written by a guy named Martin about a guy named Martin
writing a film. Although it stands on its own as a good
story, it's a movie as much about the process and art
of making movies as it is a story.

Turq's much awaited film "Seven Psychopaths" has released in the US on 
DVD, BD and VOD.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/331006

I watched it last night on BD.  The film stars Christopher Walken, Sam 
Rockwell, Colin Farrell and Woody Harrelson plus a host of other actors 
(everyone wants to be in a film with Walken).  This from director Martin 
McDonagh of "In Bruges".   It's a great ride and I enjoyed it but must

Dubya's two unpaid for wars and massive Tax Cuts for the rich effectively 
starved the beast (the federal government) and the deficit hawks now use it as 
an excuse to steal grandma's Social Security check. We can always rely on the 
bankrupt ideas of Libertoonians to kill the economy. By the way, Libertarians 
are creating a feudal paradise in Honduras. http://youtu.be/HoM0U8Sa2G0

The Republicans have no new ideas so they're repackaging their brand:

"In the 2012 election… the picture of the G.O.P. as the party of sneering 
plutocrats stuck…As a result, they have begun acknowledging that their party 
needs to improve its image. But here's the thing: Their proposals for a 
makeover all involve changing the sales pitch rather than the 
product...Republicans live in an intellectual bubble. They get their news from 
Fox and other captive media, they get their policy analysis from 
billionaire-financed right-wing think tanks. So when Mr. Romney made his 
infamous "47 percent" remarks, he wasn't, in his own mind, saying anything 
outrageous or even controversial. He was just repeating a view that has become 
increasingly dominant inside the right-wing bubble…"

Spillover from a prior lifetime? In other paths they are known as "old 
souls."  BTW, I was watching a Discover or History channel show on 
funeral techniques around the world and they covered the burning ghats 
in India.  They mentioned something I had not heard before that moksha 
was for the general public to move on but gurus should not take moksha 
because they need to be kept around lifetime after lifetime to teach the 
general public.  I don't know where they got that idea though.

Different and the same; different angle to dive but the
same technique. The so-called 'Night Technique', MMY's 
sixth advance technique ue, corresponds to the second 
Kriya initiation taught by Paramahansa Yogananda, who 
recieved this technique from from Swami Sri Yukteswar 
Giri. 

It is the exact same technique that was taught to 
Sankaracharya by his guru Govindapadacharya. This has 
been confiremd by Swami Sivananda and Swami Venkatesananda 
of Rishikesh, Himalayas.

Apparently at La Antilla TTC, all the advanced techniques 
were incorparated by MMY into the AoE. Marshy probably got 
them from former students of Yogananda.  

"Many valid techniques exist, so there is really no 
difference between one type of authentic meditation and 
another, as long as they have the goal of helping you 
attain inner stillness and focus." (Page 6)

"In meditation, you do not make any attempt to give the 
mind a direct suggestion or to control the mind. You 
simply observe the mind and let it become quiet and calm, 
allowing your mantra to lead you deeper within, exploring 
and experiencing the deeper levels of your being."

Praise be to the Gods of the Unified Field.  The new laws of antropocentric 
global climate change have let some moisture laden warm air from the Pacific 
ocean off of the Baja to stream through to Iowa at about 6,000 feet and mixing 
with cooler air from the North hence condense out right along a line through 
Iowa.  These were the same streams of air that flooded Cedar Rapids and Iowa 
City acouple years ago before the long high pressure setup over the whole 
Southwest shutting off evaporated airstreams from off the oceans from flowing 
to Iowa and across the country thereby setting up a drought pattern clear 
across the grain belt and up to New England.
I ain't seen this flow of laden air like this since for a long time.  We'll 
take it while we got it given the over-riding drought inclined nature of global 
climate change.  Should be able to plant with this moisture and at least get a 
crop germinated before the heat of the summer sets in. 

59 degrees yesterday in Fairfied with winds out of the South.  January?

Today:  Snow with areas of blowing snow before noon, then snow likely with 
areas of blowing snow after noon. Temperature falling to around 21 by 5pm. 
Blustery, with a north wind 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance 
of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of around 4 inches.

I don't know, 40 crore is about $9,000,000 apparently, that's a
lot of money for a building in India. Would like to see some pics.

Yes! This is common sense. To do otherwise, is like hoarding water to make a 
drought worse. To keep everyone all bottled up, competing for scarcer and 
scarcer jobs doesn't make us productive, and certainly kills the domestic 
consumer market. 

As long as government dept doesn't outstrip the productive potential of the 
country, which we are not even close to doing, spend as much Federal money as 
we have to. From a consumer and business perspective, the country is awash in 
debt already. Those that advocate turning off the dollar spigot, are the same 
as those who ran up the debt. Sort a national neurosis at this point.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yogi's memorial to open amid global attendance

[Michael Jackson]

Indian TMO is worth a reported 3 billion plus they can afford to build a 
monument to keep the scam alive - the Old Man is dead and his nevvies have to 
keep the illusion going - a monument to a dead saint? A place to go pray and 
meditate and where miracles attributed to the good graces of Marshy? A sure 
fire draw for American, Canadian and Europeans with more money than sense -  
not to mention the gullible Indians who wanna go too.


At least now we know why the Srivastavas boys had to illegally sell off 
Movement properties - they have to finance a monument to the Bernie Madoff of 
gurujis.

Are you going Buck ?
Anyway, there is a few things I don't understand. Because according to the 
Naysayers, Buddhist's and Unstressers on this forum the TMO is dead, finished 
and has been so for quite a while already. So how is it possible for an 
impotent org. to pull off such a huge project ?

Paul Krugman's End This Depression Now!  Originally published electronically 
and in hardcover last spring, now released in paperback on January 28.

"As a leading economist, New York Times columnist, distinguished Princeton 
professor, and 2008 Nobel laureate, Krugman's solution to the nation's 
expanding deficit is stunningly simple: Spend more, at least for now. That's 
right — while politicians are warning of excessive government spending, Krugman 
says that federal spending is what got us out of the Great Depression, and can 
quickly return us to prosperity today. 'Now is the time for the government to 
spend more, not less, until the private sector is ready to carry the economy 
forward again—yet job-destroying austerity policies have instead become the 
rule,' he says. Krugman's enduring Keynesian outlook  and his hopeful, 
progressive approach to growth are an essential contribution to a national 
discourse dominated by deficit hawks."

The same way the Church of $cientology built all 
these new "temples" that have never been opened,
even though completed -- you use them for fund-
raising. My bet is that not a penny of the 10
million dollars that they claim was spent on this
useless hunk of stone that will never do anything
to help anyone on the planet came from the coffers
of the TM movement. If their books were available
for audit, I would wager that every penny came from
money begged or extorted from TM followers around
the world, during the *same* period in which MMY's
Indian relatives were busy illegally selling off 
movement-owned real estate properties in India 
for a profit. 

Just for a moment, try to imagine what *else* that
10 million dollars could have been spent on. At 
current "retail" prices ($1500 a pop), that could 
have paid for 6,666 people to learn TM. At DLF 
prices ($600 a pop), it could have paid for 16,666
kids or soldiers or whatever to learn TM. 

Instead it's being spent on a bunch of buildings
that will never do anyone on Earth a damned bit
of good. If that's not the indication of a dead
organization, I don't know what is.

All Sddhas meditate every day even after they realize
that they have been enlightened since birth. You can
be in an enlightened state, but you still need to burn
up your accumulated karma. Siddhas do this and call it
'tapas' in order to burn up the residual samskaras, in
order to avoid future rebirth.

The historical Buddha lived to be eighty years old and
he meditated every day, even though he became a Buddha
at age thirty-two. Why? 

Sitting in a meditative pose IS the enlightened state!

accord, and if you find you are inspired simply to rest

(You don't mean "but" here, you mean "and.")

Exactly. Nor could you capture any shift *with any kind of
measuring instrument or camera*--as I just got done saying.

> So it doesn't really matter how you "feel" when

As I said, the "feeling" I had those few times was no
different than the "feeling" that I was going to come
down all the other times: in both cases it was a
*certainty*, a "knowingness," not just a feeling.

Exactly. Where did I say otherwise?

Exactly. That's why I said (see above) no camera (or any
kind of measuring instrument) would capture any hesitation.

There's a lesson for you in this, salyavin. Once again,
your own preconceptions got in the way of understanding
what I wrote, and once again it's made you look a fool.

But you know what? Your thinking is so inflexible, you'll
never learn that lesson.

Except that I had no expectation of actual flight, first;
second, I had the experience I described only two or three
times out of many thousands of hops; and third, I have no
belief that the experience was anything more than what I
described.

> Any casual observer will tell you the truth of it.

The casual observer has no way of knowing what was going
on in my head.

I have no explanation for what I experienced. I mentioned
it only to point out that it was the *only* experience I
ever had while hopping that hopping had anything at all to
do with levitation. It came as a complete surprise when it
happened, and it obviously bore no relationship to what my
body was doing.

Hopping itself, for me, had the unusual quality of being
involuntary. I can't explain that either. What it didn't
have was any physical manifestation of levitation.

[FairfieldLife] Stawberry Point and Fairfield, Iowa

[Buck]

I drove to a funeral up in Monona, Ia. a couple days ago and saw something 
really disturbing along the way.  Strawberry Point is a nice little town with 
well-kept homes.  Nice upright orderly well-kept NE Iowa town.  Nice public 
library and schools.  Going up I saw two hand-painted signs outside nice 
looking homes a few blocks away from each other.  One for sale for $9,100.  The 
other for sale for $8400.  Yikes!  Nice family homes.   A third home with 
realtor's sign saying monthly payments $360.  Coming back through town the 
other direction I really looked and saw the homes were nice but there was no 
retail in the business district and it didn't look like there were much of any 
businesses otherwise in town.  Nearest town that had a working economy was more 
than a short commute away.  There used to be a mental health hospital in 
Manchester but the State closed it.  There is not a lot of a working economy 
for counties around up in that part of the State.  If those houses sell for 
those prices that means that everyone else's nice homes in that town of 
Strawberry Point are worth only that.  Jeeesus!   Iowa needs jobs out in the 
country to save itself.  It's a cautionary tale.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Letter I just sent to the editor of the local paper

[Michael Jackson]

Absolutely correct - anyone who grew up in the Deep South grew up with the 
dregs of the militia mentality and slave revolt fear - why do you think back in 
the 1930's and 40's and 50's there were so many old geezers in white suits and 
string ties who called themselves "Colonel"?

Dregs of the old militia systems.

And anyone who thinks that unbridled ownership of assault weapons is any 
defense against the firepower of the federal government is living in a dream. 
Only the people who are afraid the guv'ment is gonna become totalitarian are 
the ones who keep that dream alive - and we already have a totalitarian 
government, but it has become so through lies and corruption and crooked 
politicians rather than at the end of a gun.

It is interesting  that those who fear the government taking over with weapons 
only think it will happen if the Democrats take over.

Whitewashing the Second Amendment
As the Supreme Court reviews a historic gun-rights case, lost is the
Second Amendment's controversial history—when it wasn't a bulwark
against tyranny but a way of enforcing it.
—By Stephanie Mencimer | Wed Mar. 19, 2008 11:00 PM PDT

Last week at an American Constitution Society briefing on the Heller
case, NAACP Legal Defense Fund president John Payton explained the
ugly history behind the gun lobby's favorite amendment. "That the
Second Amendment was the last bulwark against the tyranny of the
federal government is false," he said. Instead, the "well-regulated
militias" cited in the Constitution almost certainly referred to state
militias that were used to suppress slave insurrections. Payton
explained that the founders added the Second Amendment in part to
reassure southern states, such as Virginia, that the federal
government wouldn’t use its new power to disarm state militias as a
backdoor way of abolishing slavery.

This is pretty well-documented history, thanks to the work of Roger
Williams School of Law professor Carl T. Bogus. In a 1998 law-review
article based on a close analysis of James Madison’s original
writings, Bogus explained the South’s obsession with militias during
the ratification fights over the Constitution. “The militia remained
the principal means of protecting the social order and preserving

No, I think its a good idea - I think Bob Roth, Hagelin, Bevan, all the rajas, 
Lynch and King Tony should all go to Paris and heavily campaign for this agenda 
out in the streets on a Saturday night in the sections of the city they most 
want to raze - when Sunday morning dawns, let's see how many of them are left.

Straw-man arguments. What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear  
firearms shall not be infringed on" do you not understand? Maybe your *freedom 
of speech* should be infringed upon to protect our *right to bear arms*. When 
the second amendment goes, the rest of the Bill of Rights can then be 
effectively whittled away over time, based upon  the current situations and 
politics. If you *feel* the current Constitution and Bill of Rights is  
out-dated and or obsolete, why not over- throw it( you'll need firearms) and 
write a new one? I have no doubt you can come up with some *great ideas* from 
Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Hitler , Mao, Castro and Saddam, all of whom disarmed 
their citizens with the exception of small arms for *huntin'n fishin'*.

Whitewashing the Second Amendment
As the Supreme Court reviews a historic gun-rights case, lost is the
Second Amendment's controversial history—when it wasn't a bulwark
against tyranny but a way of enforcing it.
—By Stephanie Mencimer | Wed Mar. 19, 2008 11:00 PM PDT

Last week at an American Constitution Society briefing on the Heller
case, NAACP Legal Defense Fund president John Payton explained the
ugly history behind the gun lobby's favorite amendment. "That the
Second Amendment was the last bulwark against the tyranny of the
federal government is false," he said. Instead, the "well-regulated
militias" cited in the Constitution almost certainly referred to state
militias that were used to suppress slave insurrections. Payton
explained that the founders added the Second Amendment in part to
reassure southern states, such as Virginia, that the federal
government wouldn’t use its new power to disarm state militias as a
backdoor way of abolishing slavery.

This is pretty well-documented history, thanks to the work of Roger
Williams School of Law professor Carl T. Bogus. In a 1998 law-review
article based on a close analysis of James Madison’s original
writings, Bogus explained the South’s obsession with militias during
the ratification fights over the Constitution. “The militia remained
the principal means of protecting the social order and preserving
white control over an enormous black population,” Bogus writes.
“Anything that might weaken this system presented the gravest of
threats.” He goes on to document how anti-Federalists Patrick Henry
and George Mason used the fear of slave rebellions as a way of
drumming up opposition to the Constitution and how Madison eventually
deployed the promise of the Second Amendment to placate Virginians and
win their support for ratification.

[FairfieldLife] Last Summer's Drought is Broke!

[Buck]

Praise be to the Gods of the Unified Field.  The new laws of antropocentric 
global climate change have let some moisture laden warm air from the Pacific 
ocean off of the Baja to stream through to Iowa at about 6,000 feet and mixing 
with cooler air from the North hence condense out right along a line through 
Iowa.  These were the same streams of air that flooded Cedar Rapids and Iowa 
City acouple years ago before the long high pressure setup over the whole 
Southwest shutting off evaporated airstreams from off the oceans from flowing 
to Iowa and across the country thereby setting up a drought pattern clear 
across the grain belt and up to New England.
I ain't seen this flow of laden air like this since for a long time.  We'll 
take it while we got it given the over-riding drought inclined nature of global 
climate change.  Should be able to plant with this moisture and at least get a 
crop germinated before the heat of the summer sets in. 

59 degrees yesterday in Fairfied with winds out of the South.  January?

Today:  Snow with areas of blowing snow before noon, then snow likely with 
areas of blowing snow after noon. Temperature falling to around 21 by 5pm. 
Blustery, with a north wind 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance 
of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of around 4 inches.

On the other hand, Maharishi's preoccupation with Vastu and his "take"
on Sthapatya Veda may have indicated a lessening of his homophobia
towards the end of his life. After all, he envisioned a world with huge
phalluses in every major city and golden, gleaming butt plugs on top of

I think Maharishi was right, not just about rebuilding Paris but all other huge 
cities as well. Perhaps I'm the biggest lover of Paris here, perhaps not. I 
love walking around with a camera, I love everything I see and above all I love 
the old cementaries. But there is a big BUT about Paris and that's about the 
inhabitants there. They are unhappy and are world-famous for their rudeness. 
Oh, I know the old argument; speak a little french with them and they'll 
lighten up, and that's true but only ever so little. They'll still be the 
rudest and most grumpy inhabitants of any city anywhere in the world. 
Why is that amid all the beauty ? How is it possible to be unhappy in such 
surroundings ? Tearing the whole thing own seems like a fantasy, but if it made 
the inhabitants more happy it will have my vote :-)

[FairfieldLife] Chrome OS?

[card]

Wiki:

Former Google engineer Jeff Nelson wrote the first version of the operating 
system, code named "Google OS", in 2006. He based it on a Linux distribution 
and the Firefox browser, as Google's own Chrome browser was not yet available. 
The impetus was speed. Nelson thought that both Windows and Linux were 
needlessly slow. His solution was to move the operating system off the hard 
disk and into RAM. Restarting Firefox, he recalls, "went from ~45 seconds to ~1 
second. Browsing a directory in the file explorer went from ~8 seconds to ~0.01 
seconds. Even compiling code became 60% faster, and I could run non-indexed, 
recursive greps of the entire RAM resident file system in under 15 seconds. Try 
doing that with a hard disk." Due to the size constraints of RAM, the operating 
system relied on applications that resided on the Internet and stored user data 
online. Nelson filed a patent for his invention, titled "Network-based 
Operating System Across Devices," on March 20, 2009. It was granted in August 
7, 2012 and assigned to Google long after he departed the company.[15][16]
