The use of Yeast
October 12, 2008 - 2:35am — David HaslanAt the start of the visit by HH Mahavishnu Swami I decided to treat him to some home made traditional bread just right for sandwiches and toast, using the traditional UK methods of making a loaf.
This was very much appreciated but for one thing, I had used yeast the question asked was why? Did I [...]
I Not Going To Jury Duty Columbus Day
October 11, 2008 - 7:04pm — Madhava GoshI ended up being picked for the jury, which surprised me for reasons I will get into later. We are not supposed to talk about the trial but I think saying I was picked for the actual jury would be okay. We heard two days of testimony and have to come back Tuesday, Monday being a holiday, a federal holiday so the courthouse is closed, even if the premise of the holiday is completely flawed.
Value and Importance
October 11, 2008 - 2:34pm — sita-patiDon't try to be a person of importance, try to be a person of value
- Albert Einstein
What we are seeing is a bunch of people who have failed to be of value, but still insist on being important.
Their focus was wrong. Don't try to be an enjoyer - strive to be a servant.

However, reading a couple of pieces in the LA Times I get a sense of the root cause of the meltdown of the major financial institutions of the US economy.

Start Slow...
October 10, 2008 - 9:49am — sita-patiIn reference to yesterday's post about mrdangas and metronomes, Maha-mantra wrote me to say that "triplets at 66 bpm is too fast for beginners", and of course it is.
I didn't start out on 66 bpm with triplets - and neither should you. The 66 bpm practice of that mantra is just what I'm doing at the moment. The post is as much inspirational as it is instructional. The main point is - practice with a metronome.
