And I forgot the Farmer's Markets (as in plural)!  They are seasonal, 
obviously, so the don't come readily to mind, especially this time of the year. 
 In addition to the people also subscribe to Food Cooperatives.  Many of our 
friends split a subscription because the bounty is so large.

Here's a link to last year's Farmer's Market Guide.  Dr. Triguna would be proud 
of how seasonal our eating is,
LOL!

What you are saying specifically about the Philippines may well be so. (And if 
so, it indeed sounds like a Herculean task to overcome the problems.) 

 But consider southern Europe - Italy and Greece are joint #69 on the 
corruption list! 
 

 In Greece, poverty, lack of education, and lack of a common language are not 
factors. 
 The average material standard of living was quite high during the debt-fuelled 
boom.
 Greece has twice as many teachers per pupil than the UK! 
 But corruption and tax fiddling are endemic across all classes.

 It's a cultural thing and it's not going to go away in our lifetimes.

 For example, the Philippines is now a fairly well educated country but the

identify themselves to their own clan or people who belong to the same island

 As such, the people who work in government has no allegiance or sense of

in one way or another through graft and corruption.
 

 The people are well aware of the problem.  But it's a herculean task to clean 
up a government that's inefficient and the national culture itself..
 

 IMO, the problem also shows in the national chart which is based on the time 
of its independence from the USA.  An exalted Rahu is placed in the 9th house

back row right under the projection window. 

Damn right! My favorite place now. I used to see teenagers almost exclusively 
sitting there and thought they just did it so they could get up to no good 
without anyone seeing them or to be able to text and all that jazz during the 
movie.
Then a couple years ago, I was with my daughter for the afternoon, had picked 
her up after her rehearsal in a young people's play at the time. I asked if she 
wanted to go see a movie to which she said yes. So using her apps she checked 
her phone to see what was playing and instead of anyof the ones I thought she 
would pick, she asked to see Now You See Me. 
I had not heard of it but in my typical daddy mode I gave her what she asked 
for so we went to see Now You See Me - one of the BEST films I have seen in 
years, and we were the only people in the movie. Sat at her request in the very 
middle of the top row, under the projection window. Best seats in the house!!!

 We have some theaters that are "diner movie theaters" in the SF Bay Area.  
I saw a movie at one in Oakland where we were able to order wine and pizza.  
The menu was varied (didn't think it would be much fun to try to eat pasta 
during the movie).
 
 Problem with a lot of the "ornate" old theaters is they lacked stadium 
seating.  I'm even wondering how the line of site from the balcony of the 
theater posted here works out.  But many of these had almost flat floor so if 
anyone 6' 10" sat in front of you then you didn't get the see the movie.
 
 The theater about 1/2 a mile from me was remodeled about 10 years ago and was 
one of the first all digital theaters in the SF Bay Area (technology seems to 
follow me around).  All seats are stadium.  But since they are often small 
auditoriums I like to sit at the back row right under the projection window.  
That way I avoid some problems that stadium seating doesn't tend to solve: 
idiot behind you kicking your seat, talking during the movie and putting their 
stinky tennies on the back of the seat next to you.

A lot of these theaters began as "opera houses".  Wasting a lot  of 
ornate architecture on venue that have the lights out during the 
performance isn't very practical. There is still one "ornate" theater in 
the business complex where I worked in the 1990s.  There are probably 
very few left in the SF Bay Area which does have venues for operas, live 
theater and concerts.  But movies, because people pay so much anymore, 
have to deliver what people are paying for.  At that movie theater 
attendance is way down because it just costs too much.  Tickets are over 
$10 for adults and by the time you add the overpriced snacks then it 
becomes an expensive evening.


Owning a large screen TV and even a decent surround system is no longer 
just the purvey of the elite.  So more people just wait for the disc or 
rent online for the price of *one* ticket or less.  This even includes 
some indie movies before they hit the theaters.  And, of course, you can 
find the pause button. ;-)

Apparently the "paleo diet" is pseudo-science. They actually didn't eat 
that way during the paleo age.

The last time I checked this forum, I was the only informant that 
claimed to be on an organic natural foods diet and shopped at Whole 
Foods Market. Apparently I'm the only guy on FFL that can afford to 
shop at whole Foods and that's because I am not a big eater. Correct 
if I'm wrong about this.


So, it's really funny reading about opposition to a "GMO" apple that 
doesn't turn brown. I would think that there would be more opposition 
to the insecticides and antibiotics contained on and in non-organic 
foods such as beef and chicken.


So, maybe somebody could fill me in on the sources of the food they 
eat. Thanks.


I know a guy that drives all the way across town just so he can buy a 
bag of unsulphured raisins. I live two blocks from Whole Foods and 
even that is a long walk. You can imagine how much destruction to the 
environment there is if thousands of cars are driven to the farmer's 
market every day just to check the labels on apples. It just doesn't 
make any sense. Go figure.

If I go to a movie at the nearby theater then it is usually a matinee 
during the week when there is hardly anyone else.  There have been times 
I was the only paying customer.  I don't feel the need to huddle with 
the masses.  I think I went to one movie, "Lucy", last year at that 
theater.  And I've never been able to find the pause button there either.

We have some theaters that are "diner movie theaters" in the SF Bay 
Area.  I saw a movie at one in Oakland where we were able to order wine 
and pizza.  The menu was varied (didn't think it would be much fun to 
try to eat pasta during the movie).


Problem with a lot of the "ornate" old theaters is they lacked stadium 
seating.  I'm even wondering how the line of site from the balcony of 
the theater posted here works out.  But many of these had almost flat 
floor so if anyone 6' 10" sat in front of you then you didn't get the 
see the movie.


The theater about 1/2 a mile from me was remodeled about 10 years ago 
and was one of the first all digital theaters in the SF Bay Area 
(technology seems to follow me around).  All seats are stadium.  But 
since they are often small auditoriums I like to sit at the back row 
right under the projection window.  That way I avoid some problems that 
stadium seating doesn't tend to solve: idiot behind you kicking your 
seat, talking during the movie and putting their stinky tennies on the 
back of the seat next to you.

    I never heard of sech as that. Over here in the US we jist got popcorn and

The Tuschinski may be the best movie theater I've ever had the pleasure of 
seeing a movie in. There are theaters I've been in with better equipment and 
seating (the American Film Institute theater in Los Angeles) and possibly with 
more ambiance (an outdoor walk-in drive-in theater in Morocco, where we used to 
watch movies when I was 16 while sitting out under a sky full of stars because 
pollution hadn't been invented yet), but in terms of the bar and the overall 
zeitgeist of going to see a great movie with a great woman and having a great 
time, the Tuschinski just rocks. Anyone who takes his or her date to a movie at 
the Tuschinski and can't score afterwards is...uh...dead. :-)  Some more

Mother Kali. I saw an idol of Her in a museum once and She looks pretty dark

Why not just kick off the yoke and be free - your Mother, who wears combat

Listening to music and/or playing music is great and so is meditation - in 
fact, listening and playing music is a meditation in itself. 

I'm not against using sound as a meditation object or as a non-semantic 
mnemonic device, but exactly why would you think a "mantra" is more beneficial? 
It has already been established that you don't even know where the "bija" 
mantras came from. 

For all you know, you may be chanting a destructive nonsense syllable. 
Apparently you don't know any Tibetan and don't speak Sanskrit. Go figure.

According to the science-writers on FFL, you can't reach an enlightened state 
in 5-7 years just by chanting secret magic words or levitate over tall 
buildings by means of human will - power. I mean, if there were really any 
"words of power" that were effective, why use them to command the Teamsters 
Union to get back to work and deliver the apples or reform criminals in our 
prisons so they don't steal stuff or kill people?

If you just want to relax on your own, just take a nap - that's all you're 
doing when you practice TM or Touch Yoga, according to our current informants. 
Go figure.

 Not sure the mindfulness would really transform someone's nervous

The last time I checked this forum, I was the only informant that claimed to be

I'm the only guy on FFL that can afford to shop at whole Foods and that's 
because I am not a big eater. Correct if I'm wrong about this.

So, it's really funny reading about opposition to a "GMO" apple that doesn't 
turn brown. I would think that there would be more opposition to the 
insecticides and antibiotics contained on and in non-organic foods such as beef 
and chicken. 

So, maybe somebody could fill me in on the sources of the food they eat. Thanks.

I know a guy that drives all the way across town just so he can buy a bag of 
unsulphured raisins. I live two blocks from Whole Foods and even that is a long 
walk. You can imagine how much destruction to the environment there is if 
thousands of cars are driven to the farmer's market every day just to check the

Thanks for the reply, but I was requesting a definition that didn't contain 
hypothetical or anecdotal explanations. Where exactly is the science on 
geneticaly modified foods? I can't find a single study on PubMed that indicates 
that GMO foods are any kind of danger to humans. 

Would someone please post some links to science articles about GMO foods? This 
should not be any problem for the resident science-writers on FFL. Thanks.

"There is broad scientific consensus that food on the market derived from GM 
crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food."

 Maybe we need to define "GMO" - according to what I've read, there is no 
difference between GMO and non - GMO foods. Can you please explain to us what a 
GMO food is. Please use factual scientific terms. Try to avoid hypothetical, 
speculative or anecdotal explanations. Thank you.

It should be pretty obvious. Nature didn't make it.  It had to be "spliced" in.

Browning in fruit is an indication that the fruit is beyond ripe and largely 
inedible for folks.  It's kind of nature's "pull date" to use a supermarket 
analogy.  The fruit is still breaking down it just isn't showing its true 
colors, so to speak.

 Oh, my Gawd, a spliced hybrid apple! This is just outrageous!  Please pardon 
me while I gag. 

The Maharishi says don't eat "GMO' foods and the cultist fall down at his knees 
to pray. This is so funny I can't stop laughing. The last time I checked, all 
organic apples must be certified that they are organic, not GMO. 

So, you're wanting us to pay double $ for an apple with a GMO label on it and 
give up our First Amendment rights to free speech so you can drive across town 
in your car just to buy a bag of unsulphured raisins? 

How are you going to affix a label to an apple with all that insecticide spray 
on it? Go figure.
