[FairfieldLife] Re: Crop Circle: Woolaston Grange, Gloucestershire. Reported 18th July.
Hugo, I agree many crop circles are man-made. One researcher alleged 80% are man-made. There have been a couple of good documentaries shown in Fairfield on it. The most interesting research is in the strange nodes that appear on the stems of the plants that have been laid down. And there has been video of strange orbs around in broad daylight in the vicinity of the formations. What surprises me is no-one claims to have made the more elaborate ones. If I'd gone to al that trouble I would want to tell at least my friends of my creations! I was not at all interested in the subject till the I saw Steven Greer give a lecture in Bermuda prior to his now famous Disclosure Project press conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC. He actually announced he was holding the Press Conference at the event I attended in Bermuda. I was not interested in the subject till then, because it seemed of no importance one way or another. He opened my eyes to the importance of the issue. Next generation transportation, communication and energy technologies.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Crop Circle: Woolaston Grange, Gloucestershire. Reported 18th July.
The reply function on the FFL website seems to have stopped working. Hugo I agree many crop circles are man made. There have been a couple of good documentaries of crop circles shown in FF in recent years. The nodes on the downed stems is noteworthy and appears to be heat induced. I looked at the website www.circlemakers.org and the book it's promoting. Found this review of the book on Amazon below. Brian The Field Guide: The Art, History Philosophy of Crop Circle Making (Paperback) As someone who has studied the real crop picture phenomenon for seven yesrs now, I had never heard of this Field Guide until recently, when some naive person espoused it as the ultimate guide to understanding modern crop circles! I was immediately suspicious of any such claim, especially because another website run by these same authors can sometimes be, to put it mildly, somewhat less than truthful. Their Field Guide (in my view) is more of the same. What they describe therein has only a passing resemblance to the real crop picture phenomenon, that many other serious researchers are still exploring, and is actively ongoing today in 2009. First of all, I do not believe that Doug and Dave made anywhere near the totality of early crop pictures from the late 1980's to early 1990's. There was never any evidence to support their claims, and those old gentlemen would have had no idea how to code so much symbolic astronomy into crops. Secondly, when these authors describe the detailed nature of many later crop pictures, they seem to have no idea what they are talking about. Only someone compeletely new to the subject would read their work past the front cover. Why not buy a book say by Lucy Pringle, Eltjo Haselhoff, Bert Janssen or Janet Ossebaard, if you want to learn something useful and true? Thirdly, many large, complex crop pictures from 2007 onward have been witnessed to occur (sometimes on film) in otherwise empty fields, and in a short period of time, where no human fakers could possibly have been present: for example East Field of July 7, 2007, or Silbury of July 5, 2009. Hence the basic hypothesis of this book has been shown through recent work to be deeply flawed. One strongly suspects that the authors of this book already know all of the objections mentioned above, since they are good writers of fiction, and generally intelligent people. The question then becomes: why would anyone write such a work of entertaining fiction about modern crop pictures, rather than something which is at least approximately true, subject to all of the widely different ideas that have been espoused to explain this phenomenon? Now there is an interesting question, to which we do not seem to have any clear answer at present. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Hugo fintlewoodle...@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, brian64705 no_reply@ wrote: Rick, The wikipedia entry for crop circles is mostly skeptical and begins with the Doug and Dave story - 2 guys who claim to have made ALL of the crop circles in the 1970's.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Posting for Brian
These posting problems here have been frustrating over the last 48 hours. Seems Yahoo Groups is getting overloaded. I think it's time for me to quit this group. It's also a downer to me to read so many posts that appear more interested in scoring points than sharing news and inspiration. There are 1376 members here, a few persistently negative voices launching ad hominem attacks in almost every post can really put people off participating. And the almost daily attacks on the moderator Rick are appalling to me! I think the whole nature of the forum is becoming outdated by more friendly interfaces such as Facebook. At least in Facebook most use their own names, show their faces, and give some personal info. It helps to keep discussion civil. Sal. You seem to be one of the most frequent to use ad hominem attacks. In this case by accusing me of fabrications several times. Simply because I didn't provide any links. Anyone can find the source I quoted with google. Just take the whole phrase, put in inverted commas and do a google search. The Gurr quote with ME has 7 hits - mostly in the UK. I provided the quotes I got from Bermuda business leaders on the ME project we did in Bermuda simply to show more testimonials. Is that selling an idea that's not welcome on FFL or offering further opinions of intelligent people who have studied the results of an ME demonstration? Probably because this issue is a paradigm breaker it arouses such strong adverse reactions. Interestingly John Davies's students could teach FFL a lot about how to resolve differences without aggression or ad hominem attacks. I had the pleasure of hosting John and his wife for a week in my home in Bermuda in the 90's and learned so much about the Maharishi Effect. And how he engaged the different audiences I had him speak to. In one lecture I remember him going through many different levels of approach to conflict resolution- I recall about 9. And the last he simply described as Being and gave the briefest mention of meditation before ending and opening for questions. It was the softest introduction to a discussion that ensued (in the question time) on the Maharishi Effect that I have ever heard. It was to a Rotary lunch and carried live on the radio and excerpted on the TV evening news. It's rare that I see discussion anywhere close to being this respectful or sincere on FFL. So for me this is goodbye and I wish you all the best on your individual journeys of discovery. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine salsunsh...@... wrote: On Jul 26, 2010, at 9:45 AM, Rick Archer wrote: Can't we just respectfully disagree?

[FairfieldLife] Re: In Fairfield, Give Peace a chance
More reviewers comments on the research on the Maharishi Effect Prof. Ted Robert Gurr, Professor of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, Director Minorities at Risk Project, Center for International Development and Conflict Management In the studies that I have examined on the impact of the Maharishi Effect on conflict, I can find no methodological flaws, and the findings have been consistent across a large number of replications in many different geographical and conflictual situations. As unlikely as the premise may sound I think we have to take these studies seriously. Prof. Ken Pease, Professor of Criminology at the University of Huddersfield, Chairman of the Belfast based Centre for the Independent Research and Analysis of Crime and Board Member, Home Office Board for Crime Prevention My first reaction to work in this tradition was total disbelief. However, its proponents have shown themselves prepared to subject programmes to empirical test, and the technique already has a sounder basis than many less exotic approaches. At the minimum, courtesy and humility demand interest and attention to its progress and testing. If favourable results keep coming, we should not shrink from using them, or from seeking to understand them. Prof. Huw Dixon, Professor of Economics at the University of York and Associate Editor of the prestigious Economic Journal Home Office figures show that crime-related costs such as insured and uninsured losses, prison, courts and police expenditures, fraud, etc. amount to £5,000 per crime. Analysis of the effectiveness of Transcendental Meditation demonstrates that a 15% reduction in crime can be achieved within a short period. A 15% reduction in the current annual crime rate of 5.1 million crimes would save £3.8 billion each year. This contrasts with the present, costly largely ineffective government policies, including a prison construction programme which hasn't delivered any long term reductions in crime. Dr. Jim Kemeny, Reader in Social Policy at the University of Plymouth This research is of the highest methodological quality, and has added to a large body of published research undertaken in many different countries using a wide variety of research designs over the last 20 years. The point is rapidly being reached at which these findings, and their far-reaching implications for how we deal with social problems, can no longer be ignored by policy makers. Prof. Raymond Russ, Professor of Psychology, University of Maine, U.S.A.; Editor of The Journal of Mind and Behaviour, which has published two studies on the Maharishi Effect. The hypothesis definitely raised some eyebrows among our reviewers, but the statistical work was sound. The numbers were there ... When you can statistically control for as many variables as these studies do, it makes the results much more convincing. Dr. David V. Edwards, Professor of Government, The University of Texas at Austin. I think the claim can be plausibly made that the potential impact of this research exceeds that of any other ongoing social or psychological research program. It has survived a broader array of statistical tests than most research in the field of conflict resolution. This work and the theory that informs it deserve the most serious consideration by academics and policy makers alike. Dr. Edwards does not practice Transcendental Meditation. Dr Ved Nanda, Director of the Legal Studies Program, University of Denver; formerly President of the International Association of Law Professors. This is promising research. It is a non-traditional approach, but the methodology of these studies is sound and the statistical significance high. In a world as unstable and dangerous as ours, I believe that any approach with such consistent objective support deserves careful attention. Dr. Juan Pascual-Leone, Professor of Psychology, University of York, Canada ... the possibilty is that we have made one of the most important discoveries of our time

http://theweek.com The mystery of falling crime rates Despite widespread economic hardship, the nation's crime rate has continued to fall. Why? POSTED ON JULY 9, 2010, AT 11:10 AM What do crime statistics show? The historic drop in crime that began in the early 1990s continues. Last year, violent crime fell an impressive 5.5 percent nationwide, marking the third straight year of decline after an even longer-lasting drop briefly lost momentum earlier in the decade. The cumulative falloff is truly remarkable: Murders slipped 7 percent last year, to 15,100nearly 45 percent below the 1991 peak. And the declines involve nearly every category of crime, in communities big and small What explains the decline? Nobody is sure, though at least some credit must go to improved policing methods...

Judy, well yes, I did. I found the tone of the article offensive in accusing anyone who asks questions on this a liar. And the article doesn't debunk the grandmothers testimony. Instead it sides with a younger Obama relative who came on after the grandmother to repeatedly assert Obama was born in Hawaii. The article gives the Salon source for this, http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2008/12/05/birth_certificate/ and this article finishes with: In an affidavit he [McRae] put together, he wrote: Though some few younger relatives, including Mr. Ogombe, have obviously been versed to counter such facts with the common purported information from the American news media that Obama was born in Hawaii, Ms. Sarah Hussein Obama was very adamant that her grandson, Senator Barack Hussein Obama, was born in Kenya, and that she was present and witnessed his birth in Kenya, not the United States. When Mr. Ogombe attempted to counter Sarah Obama's clear responses to the question, verifying the birth of Senator Obama in Kenya, I asked Mr. Ogombe, how she could be present at Barack Obama's birth if the Senator was born in Hawaii, but Ogombe would not answer the question, instead he repeatedly tried to insert that, No, No, No. He was born in the United States! So the testimony of the grandmother is disputed by another Obama relative. Does not make her wrong. Only that one of them is not telling the truth. One has to look for motives. What motive would the grandmother have in saying Obama was born in Kenya? And what motive would this Ogombe have in saying he was born in Hawaii? Seems to me the grandmother had nothing to gain other than her own maternal pride in her grandson. Whereas Ogombe may be more shrewd and understand the political significance of the question, hence he defends the official story. Same with the Kenyan Ambassador. He seems to me to be innocently reflecting the common perception in Kenya that Obama was born there. This does not make one person right or wrong. Someone is not telling the truth. So people can chose who they want to believe. It is not conclusive either way and will not be so until a long form birth certificate appears, and/or someone present at the birth can testify. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend jst...@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, brian64705 no_reply@ wrote: Judy, Yes got it thank-you.

Judy, but all the sources you review here are MSM. Care to extend your review to alternative media sites you like? It seems the online/alternative media is having a huge impact on the MSM print and broadcast media. With the alternative media acting as a watchdog and competitor they cannot ignore. For intelligence matters and stories with a powerful corporate vested interested scores of whistleblowers have alleged the MSM witholds or slants stories to serve these vested interests. Take for example the following quotes by CIA Directors: We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.-- William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981) The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.--William Colby, Director of Central Intelligence These and scores of others indicate that one needs to go beyond MSM to get a true understanding when powerful vested interests have a stake in a story. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend jst...@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, brian64705 no_reply@ wrote: Judy, If by reputable you mean main stream media, I have to disagree when it comes to investigations of very powerful vested interests. No, the phrase I used was reputable news sources. That could be the MSM in some cases; it could be various alternative sources, including blogs and news and commentary Web sites, in others; books in still others; and so on. In each category, some are more reputable than others. You have to check out a source's reliability, cross- checking with other sources, and make your own judgments. Each one is will have its biases, so you need to identify and take those into account as well. And most important of all, you need to be aware of your *own* biases. But what I find heartening in this story is indeed now we seem to be seeing more truth in main stream outlets such as Bloomberg. Bloomberg's not bad among the MSM. An MSM source I've found to be pretty reliable is McClatchey. The NYTimes has done some excellent investigative reporting (but they fall down hard in other areas). Rachel Maddow of MSNBC has done some good stuff but also some bad stuff. CNN has long since lost its edge, so I don't pay much attention to it. It tries so hard to be objective that it ends up being uselessly bland. And I am seeing it in Fox going after the Federal Reserve/AIG scandal which may be the biggest fraud in US history. I don't trust Fox any further than I can throw it. That doesn't mean it doesn't occasionally get something correct, but its right-wing bias is extreme, and all too often it isn't careful with facts. (It has one anchor, Shep Smith, whom I tend to trust. He's so popular and so principled that Fox treats him with kid gloves even when he doesn't uphold the Fox party line.) But I wouldn't put much stock in any Fox story or investigation unless it was backed up by many other sources across the political spectrum. And Christopher Story is just beyond the pale. Why you waste any time on his site, I can't imagine.

Well the birthplaces of Presidents are ussually regarded as national monuments. Even actors and other famous peoples birthplaces are celebrated.

It seems highly suspicious to me that all Obama's private records have been sealed. With the sole exception of the certificate of live birth. Why the secrecy if there is nothing to hide? I understand the story has changed about even which institution he was born at in Hawaii. I also heard - but have not seen written anywhere - that there is a record confirming that his mother tried to fly to Hawaii but was turned away because she was too close to giving birth. So she flew immediately after giving birth and registered the birth with newspapers which allegedly was possible at the time without requiring a birth certificate. There's enough uncertainty here I think to justify asking to see the long form birth certificate. There are at least two other legal issues as well.

You believe anything that lands in your in-box don't you? It was a text and slides video, not much different to writing an article. As to the author, I care more about the substance than knowing who the author was. In this case what I found most interesting were all the references to interests in communism. Even quoting Barack's own biography. I don't take all this as a slur on his character! One of my mentors is Scott Nearing who was a life long communist featured in the movie Reds. But the reference made to Obama not declaring using other names to Illinois Bar Assoc does seem to be dishonest. Why I find his interest in communism interesting as it is common for young people to be seekers, and certainly the ideal of socialist utopia does often inspire young people. As in the 1920's period portrayed in the movie Reds. The irony of hindsight is we now know their heroes of the Bolshevik Revolution were funded by the very bankers and elite they thought they were going to liberate the workers of the world from. All of this seems highly relevant today. As we're having an economic crisis and mega scale environmental crisis that is really causing people to wonder what on earth is wrong with our economic system and what can make it better? I heard Maharishi say in India, to the great interest of the audience, many who wrote this in their notes Capitalism is useless. Communism is useless. I also heard he said when the USSR collapsed... now it is the turn for Capitalism to collapse. Despite the awful nature of the Gulf crisis, and the economic woes, and serious sovereign debt I am very optimistic that something extraordinary is happening in the world right before our eyes that has the makings of a much better future for mankind. The birther question which got my attention of late is just that- a question. Perhaps it's nothing - as most of you are saying. But I do think we're seeing an emergence of a new world here. And a lot of secrets are being exposed. Even in the main stream media. Which is what interested me in the drugs and Wachovia story in Bloomberg. I tend to be skeptical of the MSM in my search for the truth. I do find the Norman Dodd testimony one of the most important whistleblowers in recent US history. If 55 mins is too long for you... there is a transcript of the interview here: http://supremelaw.org/authors/dodd/interview.htm It begins with this: Alan Gaither was, at that time, President of the Ford Foundation. Mr. Gaither had sent for me when I found it convenient to be in New York, asked me to call upon him at his office, which I did. On arrival, after a few amenities, Mr. Gaither said, Mr. Dodd, we have asked you to come up here today because we thought that, possibly, off the record, you would tell us why the Congress is interested in the activities of foundations such as ourselves. Before I could think of how I would reply to that statement, Mr. Gaither then went on to say, Mr. Dodd, all of us who have a hand in the making of policies here, have had experience operating under directives, the substance of which is, that we use our grant-making power so as to alter life in the United States that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union. Hence my interest in Obama's youthful flirtation with communism. I have great hope that this purification we're seeing in the world is an emerging new truth, and it will transcend the apparent opposites of left v right in politics. We're moving outside the box of the past and into something much better...

This is interesting. A report from Bloomberg with comments added from Christopher Story of WorldReports.org http://www.worldreports.org/news/295_big_u.s._banks_confirmed_as_criminal_enterprises I have been interested this year to see Fox News going after the Federal Reserve with a freedom of information request to investigate the fraud they pulled by their own admission in witholding key information about AIG prior to the Govt bailout. Now we have Bloomberg going after long alleged criminality of the major banks in relation to drug trafficking and money laundering. When major establishment media go after major establishment banking institutions in such an aggressive manner it gets me interested! Something very new is going on. Reminds me of a comment Maharishi made at the end of my TTC in 1999. He called and someone asked about the Balkan war. He said as the dirt is being cleaned from the glass, some smudges are revealed. I always remember that when some dark scandal is unearthed - it gives me hope that is part of a cleansing process of rising world consciousness.

They don't always get it right - but they help to lead the way for further investigation to uncover the truth. In this case Bloomberg is revealing what many have said for decades. Mike Ruppert has been a long time whistleblower on the role banks and the govt collaborate in the international drugs trade.

McCoy said, The people of Mississippi deserve to know how this happened and what the future may hold for this most valuable part of our state. However, earlier this week, BP wrote a letter saying it wouldn't be showing up for the three-day hearings this week. They, after all, are corporate royalty and don't need to respond to the demands of mere elected officials of the state whose oil they're taking and selling to China. In a related issue, I interviewed extensively a charter airplane operator in Louisiana who said that during the first four weeks after the BP Oil explosion a area of Temporary Flight Restriction or TFR extended 30 miles or so around the Deepwater Horizon and has since expanded to cover virtually every place that oil is in the water or hitting wetlands or land. This representative noted that the command center for the crisis - out of which the Coast Guard and other federal agencies are operating - is headquartered in a BP training facility and, until the intervention of Louisiana Senator David Vitter, whenever charter flight operators called for permission to fly into the TFR they were extensively questioned about who they had on board the plane, and if it was the press the right to fly over the area was routinely denied. In the past few days, though, since the administration has moved from a position of helping BP cover up the extent of their crime by spraying dispersants and keeping the press out to a position of actively challenging BP, flights are being allowed into the area with press aboard. -Thom

[A few minutes ago, I conducted a short interview with documentary filmmaker, James Fox. He is presently in Grand Isle, Louisiana. The closest location to the Gulf oil spill. Before I spoke to James I received a few unsubstantiated reports that I put on the side. What I'm about to share with you is extremely important. There is an absolute MEDIA BLACKOUT in the area. People are being arrested everywhere. Hotels in a 70-mile radius are completely sold out, yet, you don't see any vans or reporters filming. It's as if the entire area was under siege. James Fox has witnessed this and he basically just arrived. He says he saw multiple Chevron helicopters flying. He has not seen any military activity. It's as if the oil companies had taken over. James expected to rent a plane to fly over it and that is not possible. The area above the oil spill is now a NO-FLY-ZONE. He will be there for two weeks. I am issuing this bulleting because James Fox's name needs to be out in the public, as there is a possibility that he will be arrested. I have plans to talk to the Grand Isle's Police Department to get further clarification regarding these arrests, since James people don't even know who is conducting these arrests. James had the opportunity to talk to the son of one of the cleanup workers (former fisherman) and he told him no one is talking. He did say that no one is being told the extent of this disaster. It is much bigger than what is being reported. The government is NOT IN CONTROL. The ones exercising all influence are the oil companies. Where is our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT? I will be posting my interview with James at the forum shortly. When I called him I wanted to remain optimistic and felt people were exaggerating or simply fear mongering. After my conversation with James I can categorically say that my level of concern has risen to unprecedented levels and now I'm putting more credence to the reports I'm receiving.] -- Mel Fabregas reporting CLICK HERE for the mp3 (18min long) feel free to post it, this info has to be out in the open.

The local folks who have been hired by BP to do cleanup signed a contract of some kind that prohibits them from speaking to the media. This has also been the case from the beginning; it's not an unusual provision, although it sounds sinister. The rest of this is just nonsense. The Deepwater Response Team--the Coast Guard and NOAA and EPA and so on--have a press conference every day with reporter QA. If the media were having problems getting their stories, they'd be making a point of complaining loudly at the press conference. It's just not possible to lock down the media these days and have it kept quiet. There's some uncertainty about the exact volume of the oil flow, but it simply isn't the case that the disaster is much bigger than what is being reported, nor is it the case that the gummint isn't in control. (Doesn't mean local police officers here or there haven't overstepped their authority, or made an arrest because some media jerk pissed them off.) I'm guessing the guy who was interviewed hasn't been heard from since because he's discovered that he made a huge fuss over nothing, or very little, and he's now horribly embarrassed.

It's controversial for sure. And I can't say I know which view is right - much as I hate govt regulation, I hate the control corporations have in the court room even more. Overall though its the monetary system which is the most important issue. If that fails nothing else matters. Ron Paul has been the best watchdog in Washington to alert us to the dangers of an unregulated, unaudited Federal Reserve. So I can overlook other areas I think he's a bit iffy on. The monetary system is the number one issue in my mind.
[FairfieldLife] Important: Fairfield Quiet Zone Meeting Sunday May 23 7:45 p.m.
The Fairfield Train Safety and Quiet Zone Committee is pleased to announce a public meeting with Quiet Zone consultant and expert Andy Mielke of SRF Consulting. The meeting will be this Sunday May 23rd at 7:45 p. m. at the Fairfield Library. Andy Mielke worked with Burlington to design and implement their new Quiet Zone, and has worked on 25 such projects. Andy has been hired by the City of Fairfield with funds provided by our QZ Committee to help us get this project done. This meeting will be a great opportunity to meet Andy, ask questions, and see how a Quiet Zone looks and works. It is also an important time to show community support for this project that will be presented the next day to the Fairfield City Council. Seating in the City Council Chamber is limited so get an advance peak at this meeting. Work started on this project in 2007. With Andy Mielke's expert input it is hoped that we can get a final plan approved very soon and then focus on any remaining fund raising required to complete the project. City Council member Michael Halley, who as a member of the Transportation and Safety Committee has been put in charge of working out the details of the final plan along with Andy Mielke, will be present to give an update on the project's status. Please don't miss this great opportunity to learn more about our QZ project and show your critical support for prompt approval and completion. Thank you from your Fairfield Train Safety and Quiet Zone Committee. For more info email q...@natel.net

[FairfieldLife] Re: Quiet Zone -another story
http://www.fairfieldvoice.com/2010/03/16/fairfields-proposed-quiet-zone-putting-safety-first/ This page is attracting a lot of comments, including from 2 City Council members. The latest is around the proposal to close Main St rr crossing which will yield another $50,000 cash to the City from BNSF. I understand there needs to be a public hearing on this. So my purpose here is to attract a lot of discussion to the issue first so that all sides and facts get aired well before any formal public hearing. Hopefully this will allow the process to go ahead more smoothly and more quickly. I personally would prefer Court St were closed as Main St is the main route for walkers and cyclists going from the University into town. But I would happily make the detour to Court St or 2nd if that was the best way to get the Quiet Zone enacted quickly. I believe more public discussion is important as there is a huge illusion that this issue is a huge ** PROBLEM** for roo-townie relations. The comments and poll however show a very different picture. Most want this done if it is done with private funds. So working out the details over which crossings to close is the only obstacle I see to getting this thing finished --- finally! And I think having it finished will help in the roo-townie issue as well. The politics behind this issue is discussed in a new article here: http://www.fairfieldvoice.com/2010/03/16/we-all-want-what-is-best-for-fairfield/ --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, brian64705 no_re...@... wrote: http://www.fairfieldvoice.com/2010/03/16/fairfields-proposed-quiet-zone-putting-safety-first/

Thanks Rick for posting. I am organizing this talk to help the Quiet Zone finish its campaign to eliminate the train whistle noise in Fairfield. So whether you live close or far from the tracks I hope all Fairfield will support this. It's one of those small things we can all do which will make a big and permanent improvement to our collective quality of life. For me it is more than just the noise... it really is an affront to the dignity of the city to be assaulted by this noise 24/7. I plan to organize once a month lectures like this till the funds are raised. So if you have an interesting talk you'd like to present please let me know. And if you have ideas or would like to help in any way please contact the Fairfield Quiet Zone through the website www.FairfieldQuietZone.org many thanks!

[FairfieldLife] Re: India Talk
Bill, It's not about getting of the train. Just the whistle. If you live close by there will be still automatic whistles at crossings which have can be heard over a much more restricted area than the train whistle. Several towns in Iowa have a Quiet Zone: Burlington, Ames, LeClaire, Dennison, Nevada. Of course not all agree, but the large majority of the residents are in favor. This report from Ames includes a survey in which 67% of residents responded they were very positive about the new quiet zone: http://www.iowadot.gov/trainhornstudy.htm It is not about changing the historical charm associated with trains. The problem is the number of trains has increased several fold to up to 70 trains per day now. And the whistle noise volume has also greatly increased due to safety requirements. So this is more about getting back to the level of noise we had in the past. And it's nothing to do with getting a train stop in Fairfield. That's an economic issue and will just not happen. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, It's just a ride bill.hicks.all.a.r...@... wrote: On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 8:22 AM, brian64705 no_re...@yahoogroups.comwrote: Thanks Rick for posting.

Don't do it. I have lived very near the RR tracks in FF and that whistle is one of the many things I savor about FF. Wouldn't y'all like to have the train still stop in downtown FF? I would. Imagine getting on the train and going to Chicago or Denver. You lose a lot when you get rid of the train and its whistle. I am very happy that my town has a spanking new light rail system and that the tracks are just a few feet away from where I live. It's so invigorating to hear that train go rambling by. And I'm a guy who does program at home with ear plugs in. The sound of the train makes you feel alive and connected again. Connected to a former time when life moved at a slower pace and friends really were friends.
[FairfieldLife] Re: India Talk
Sal, There was a survey in Ames: http://www.iowadot.gov/trainhornstudy.htm In this 73% of those surveyed who live close to the tracks responded the whistle noise was too loud prior to the Quiet Zone, and only 4% after the Quiet Zone (with automated whistles) was instituted. 60% reported the noise to be very disturbing at night time before the Quiet Zone. This fell to 35% after the Quiet Zone was instituted. The Council has already agreed to give $20,000 from the rebate they will get for closing 2 crossings. It's not the City that is holding this up, it will go ahead if private donations will support it. Anyway regardless of where you stand on the issue I hope you'll come to the talk by Steve Briggs. It was superb last time (about 4 years ago). --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine salsunsh...@... wrote: On Feb 25, 2010, at 9:23 AM, brian64705 wrote: Bill, It's not about getting of the train.

Hey, Brian, with all due respect, this simply is not the case. I don't know if there have been any polls on it (and I kind of doubt it, since i've been following this issue with interest ever since the beginning and haven't seen any) but going by the few letters that have appeared in the Ledger and the lack of support on the City Council the first time around, I would say that the above is definitely wishful thinking on the part of the QZ supporters. If there was wide support as you suggest, it's doubtful it would have taken as long as it has to get to even this point. In fact, I am guessing that if it does ever get to a vote again, this issue will cause a huge hue and cry from many in the town who feel that it is unnecessary and not in the town's best interest. If you have evidence to the contrary I would appreciate hearing about it.

It shows how low the level of leadership of politics has fallen that Palin is even being discussed for President. It would sure be great though to see her debate economics with Ron Paul.

[FairfieldLife] Re: 71% Americans Don't Want Sarah Palin to Run for President
Well, it's consistent that Fox News is about bashing the Dems. But I support Ron Paul as he's really outside the 2 parties, which have become so close policywise. It seems to be a worldwide phenomenon, especially UK's New Labour with it's shift to the middle. But that Fox News is expressing more and more support to Ron Pauls audit the fed is far more interesting to me than partisan politics. Since the Fed represents the status quo which conservative Fox should be defending. Seeing how viciously Fox went after Paul only 2 years ago seems like something is really changing in the political scene. I could write a lot more about this, but for now, all I can say is that the News Years Revelations in 2010 so far are giving me great hope for the future. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, WillyTex willy...@... wrote: brian: It shows how low the level of leadership of politics has fallen that Palin is even being discussed for President So, you're thinking that it's all about Sarah Palin?

I don't have TV so I was not following this race. Interesting indeed... http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_14225575 this article comments: Brown will become the 41st Republican in the 100-member Senate, which could allow the GOP to block the president's health care legislation and the rest of his agenda. Democrats needed Coakley to win for a 60th vote to thwart Republican filibusters. One day shy of the first anniversary of Obama's swearing-in, the election played out amid a backdrop of animosity and resentment from voters over persistently high unemployment, Wall Street bailouts, exploding federal budget deficits and partisan wrangling over health care. For weeks considered a long shot, Brown seized on voter discontent to draw even with Coakley in the campaign's final stretch. His candidacy energized Republicans, including backers of the grass-roots tea party movement, while attracting disappointed Democrats and independents uneasy with where they felt the nation was heading. A cornerstone of Brown's campaign was his promised vote against the health care plan. And an Australian publication managed to make this win more about Ron Paul as a rising star in the conservative scene: http://www.crikey.com.au/2010/01/20/ted-kennedy%E2%80%99s-lost-seat-spells-more-than-trouble-for-obama/ --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, WillyTex willy...@... wrote: brian: It shows how low the level of leadership of politics has fallen that Palin is even being discussed for President So, you're thinking that it's all about Sarah Palin?

[FairfieldLife] Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam is married with 2 daughters
From Raja Hagelin: In a beautiful, tender moment following our Gita Study today, Maharaja-ji quietly shared the following. He announced that, with Maharishi's blessing, he had gotten married some eight years ago, and has two beautiful daughters, age 5-1/2 and 3-1/2. Maharishi had requested him to, for the children's sake, maintain the privacy of his family until the oldest was old enough to begin school. That time has come, and Maharaja therefore felt it was proper to share this news with his family of Rajas and Ministers and global leadership. Maharishi had told him that, in the tradition of rulership, having the support of a Royal Family brought stability and strength to the Kingdom. Of course, as was obvious to all--and as Maharaja himself emphasized--nothing has changed, or would change, in his Administration, and his continued one-pointed focus on the fulfillment of Maharishi's global legacy: bringing Total Knowledge--Raam Raj--to the world, while focussing on his own deep silence and realization of the supreme goal of Brahmi Chetana. Many were surprised, including me, but the atmosphere was most festive and joyous. Jai Guru Dev, Raja John Hagelin
