"The beginnings of CAMMAC go back to 1953, on the shores of Otter Lake near Huberdeau in Argenteuil County. The idea of the founders, George and Carl Little as well as their wives, Madeleine and Frances, was to find a place in the midst of nature where all who love music could participate in it under the direction of professional musicians. Active participation rather than passive listening was to be favoured.
Thus the first CAMMAC music center was born in the Laurentians, named Otter Lake Music Centre. The beginnings were modest - 26 participants registered in the first session, which lasted two weeks." ...
CAMMAC offers summer workshops for various musical instruments, most notably the recorder, harpsichord and baroque dance. Please see website for more information.

Today the practice of early music is based on specialized interpreters in musicological research on the technical implementation and interpretation of ancient instruments and singing in the reconstruction of musical instruments from specimens preserved in museums and implementation of transcripts, respectful of the canons of writing of the time. Our country has not been indifferent to the interest in this music, demonstrated in large musical centers of the world, and for several years there are groups devoted to this repertory. The Early Music Festival offers the opportunity to discover the wide and varied repertoire of these centuries, but with instruments constructed according to ancient models. In this way we approach a sound unknown in the country.
This festival began in 2006 as an idea of the composer Otto Castro. Originally took place every two years, but due to the enthusiasm of the crowd then decided to hold annual events that take place in the first half of each year. From the 2008 it was decided to accept only groups that use old-style instrument. The festival has become a benchmark in the Caribbean area. The guests give lectures, master classes and concerts.

Driver has 2 vehicles stolen in 1 day
Man has SUV stolen after leaving it idling at QuikTrip
A man said his decision to keep his Chevrolet Blazer idling while he paid for fuel wound up costing him two vehicles in one day.
Tommy Barker said he filled up his the SUV at a QuikTrip store near North Brighton Avenue and Northeast Vivion Road early Monday.
Barker said he wanted to keep the SUV warm while he paid for the gas.
"It was a little chilly, so I left it running. (I) figured it wouldn't take but a couple of seconds to run in and pay for the gas," he said.
The thief or thieves jumped in and drove off in the Blazer before Barker knew what was happening.
He said after he drove his wife to work in another vehicle, he came home to do some laundry. He came outside to find that vehicle gone, too.
Barker said he thinks the thieves found an extra set of keys to the other car inside the Blazer taken from QuikTrip. A paycheck stub may have also helped the thieves figure out where he lived.
"What a terrible day. Terrible. I don't know who would do that," he said. "Stole one car from the person. Then you come back and victimize them again and take both their cars."
Barker said he is kicking himself for letting his truck idle at the store.
"Leaving it running this morning started the whole problem," he said. "I work in the cold. I shouldn't have been worried about sitting in it."
He said he will change the locks on his home now. The incident may also threaten his livelihood, he said. He said he's a bricklayer and without reliable transportation, no one will want to hire him.
In Kansas City, in order to prevent car thefts, it is illegal to leave a car unattended while its engine runs.
Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Johnson made the tiebreaking basket with 3:03 left, Deron Williams and Brook Lopez each scored 24 points, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Boston Celtics 102-97 on Thursday night for their fourth straight victory.
Williams had eight assists and made all nine free throws on a night Paul Pierce had two huge misses in the final minute for the Celtics, who played without injured point guard Rajon Rondo.
Johnson finished with 19 points and eight rebounds for the Nets in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,732 that was divided but certainly loud in the tense, final minutes.
Pierce scored 22 points and Leandro Barbosa had 17 in place of Rondo, who was out with a sprained right ankle. Kevin Garnett added 14 points but Boston had its three-game win streak snapped and lost to the Nets for just the third time in the last 21 meetings.
Boston led 79-74 after three before the Nets evened it up at 85 on Jerry Stackhouse's 3-pointer with 6:21 to play. It was still tied before Johnson made consecutive jumpers and Lopez scored on a follow shot for a six-point lead, and the Celtics could never catch up — especially when Pierce missed two free throws with 34.5 seconds left and Boston trailing by three.
Rondo was hurt in the third quarter Wednesday night in a home victory over Utah. Without the NBA leader in assists, averaging 12.6, coach Doc Rivers said the playbook would be reduced because Barbosa didn't fully know the offense yet.
But the speedy Brazilian created for himself just fine, blowing by defenders for layups though finishing with just two assists.
Nets coach Avery Johnson said the Nets needed a breakthrough against a quality opponent such as Boston and was interested to see how far his team had come since the Celtics smashed them 115-85 here in the preseason, a night he felt the longtime Atlantic Division rulers were trying to send a message to his team.
The Nets have definitely closed the gap.
They had led by 20 or more in their last three home games and opened a 13-point cushion early in the third quarter of this one. But Pierce, who had a quiet six-point first half, suddenly got going midway through the period with a 3-pointer and basket as the Celtics fans — still noticeable around the arena though not nearly to the extent as when the Nets played in New Jersey — became more vocal.
When he picked up his fourth foul and Rivers sent Jeff Green to the table to check in for him, Pierce pleaded to stay, Rivers agreed, and Pierce made the gamble pay off with consecutive baskets that gave Boston a 73-71 lead.
The Nets shot out to a quick 11-point lead that was trimmed to 31-26 after one quarter. Brooklyn kept its lead throughout the second quarter, using 15 offensive rebounds in the first half to score 19 second-chance points and build a 59-50 advantage.
NOTES: The Nets made their first regular-season appearance on TNT since Jan. 24, 2008, against Golden State. Marv Albert, who is from Brooklyn and worked for the Dodgers when he was young before later calling games for both the Knicks and the Nets, was the lead announcer. … Lopez came in averaging 8.2 points in the first quarter and shooting 69.7 percent. He shot 5 of 7 Thursday.

Could this be the 51st state?
< < Go Back
from USAToday,
The good people of northern Colorado are sick of those Denver city-slickers telling them what to do.
Fed up with what they see as a lack of representation, several rural counties are now seriously considering seceding to form their own state: North Colorado.
At a public meeting on Thursday, most of the 50 people in attendance supported the move, reports the Greeley Tribune via the Huffington Post. A Facebook page for the 51st State Initiative has more than 10,000 likes. Commissioners say they hope to put the North Colorado idea to a public vote in November.

Posted by Brad Warner at 8:35 AM
Brad Warner's penis
This is by far...the worst comment thread...ever seen...anywhere...
This is the toilet bowl for Brad's new website. It's the only place that allows anonymous posting.
anyone else having their registration rejected on brads new site because of a supposed "invlaid email address"
i can only hope he's blocked my ip, but i doubt it
trappist monastery life looks extremely sterile
val notre-dame abbey
one could run a never ending thread on here, buddhists wank, anonymous is a hermaphrodite, brad warner is in the foothills of early dementia
but they are just mice that run from cage to cage as each new door is opened for them
in commemoration of the demise of unfettered "anonymizing"
I love you, An3drew. Will you gay marry me?
lol, too old and wise about that marry go around now ; o )
He's doing well over there so far! Nice looking website. The store is up and running. Comments are on topic and interesting for the most part. A little bit of spinning out there by talking about what other commenters know or don't know, which is to be expected I suppose. But overall I'd give it an "A". Maybe I'll just have to register an account and overcome my cowardice. Congratulations Brad!
brad is really getting old. his new site is really boring and lame, and it looks really awful.i find this pretty sad, because brad's trick was to get people into zen and to help them to realize themselves. now the new site is just full of boring comments, old farts discussing intellectually about things that brad used to successfully criticize before. and his latest books? brad's almost 50 and it's getting more obvious year by year. sad indeed... brad's turning more and more into conservative e-sangha type, loving robes and chanting more and more each year. he's starting to remind me of jundo and that's so disgusting...
hardcore zen is dead, folks. brad's old.
well he's moderating me now and hasn't passed the following post
Your comment is awaiting moderation. (yeah, forever on the new hczb)
lol comments by the sane
now for the mad ; o )
a good
interview with shunryu suzuki, he really has a different view, perhaps some of the bullshit artists on this blog (ed. hcz) can see where they are going wrong by comparison
not flowery, flakey or ornate but a practical discursion of his life yet all most all the commenters here on hcz do nothing put spew forth specious bullshit and totally conceal any aspect of who they are or how they live
what is brad warners appeal? he is not afraid to be himself and write about it, but commenters here take the opposite tack, but being a hermit crab won't
save you from the mantis
shrimp !
brad may come across as weak but one thing i have learnt about him is he can tolerate levels of criticism that would fell a a platoon of marines and that's not weak !
rather pathetic really, all the phonies can wank forever on the new blog, but you delete the posts of most substance !
theres only poor health and bankruptcy in that lot brad, you'll never learn!
hopefully i will ;o )
well, it's the passing of an era i guess, brad is selling out to gain (he thinks), health insurance and an income with stupid wankers who will support him in return for not having their or his feathers ruffled
i'm not against selling out, but if you are going to do it, you might as well get a decent price..............
not dependent on these tight fisted morons !
brad's big problem
" i don't eat hamburgers. but i eat a lot of veggie burgers and will miss the salad boy at swenson's drive-in "
if you don't feed the brain it won't work, no wonder your posting is getting more stupid by the week !
major schizophrenic i think !
so much for mental stability ;o)
check this out anonymouse!
a female brad and the invective is W A Y W A Y W O R S E
*tongues screen shot of Brad's crotch in celebration*
well the new hcz has degenerated rapidly, senile farts rolling in sentimental bullshit presided over by the idiot "guru fred"
all wanking themselves to death out of concern for that stupid toxic bitch "chrisite"
... meanwhile the old HCZ continues to shine as a paragon of compassionate awareness!
the road to hell is paved with words like "compassionate awareness"
"And how, monks, does a monk cultivate release by compassion? What is its goal, its excellence, its fruit and its outcome?
"In this, monks, a monk cultivates the enlightenment-factors of mindfulness... equanimity accompanied by compassion... [as above]... he dwells thus, equanimous, mindful, clearly aware or, by passing utterly beyond all perception of objects, by the going-down of perceptions of sensory reactions,[6] by disregarding perceptions of diversity, thinking 'space is infinite,' he attains and dwells in the sphere of infinite space.[7] I declare that the heart's release by compassion has the sphere of infinite space for its excellence. This is the attainment of a wise monk who penetrates to no higher release.
Damn, that Mark Foote guy and that Fred guy are totally dominating the new place and fucking it up.
the monk is being released from what and going to where?
i don't think the translation quality helps but it's still bullshit !!!!!!!!!!!!!
you guys think plastering rubbish like this is somehow related to authentic work when it's the opposite!
anonymous, there's hundreds of others out there like fred and mark and they will all swarm in and smother a board where they are protected from being called crap artists like the hardcore zen board has become
of course brad is a crap artist too so it's fitting............
Death and the Present Moment
ted, mark, fred, justin, encinitas, brda, michel
more (23:05) ted, mark, fred, justin, encinitas, brad, michel et al on the hardcore zen blog!
This one is for an3drew and the Anonymous on the old harcorezen blog!
i don't watch horror movies, mainly because they make me afraid of the dark which is not helpful when spending time outside at night
but that one (as linked in the 4.31pm post above) has always made a big impact on me
it's very hard to understand what happens in the spiritual scene, the endless repetition of cliches like they are doing something and it seems to make more sense in terms of the living dead and zombies
anonymouse, that "dig within" link is completelyl raving schizophrenic and psychotic
i mean
"ask brad and skylar"
is skylar vacccine damaged?
r u vaccine damaged brad ?
did you know that the earliest buddhism was in fact a banking network?
what is that telling you
telling me?
an3drew, you twit: I love you but now we all know you're actually Mysterion.
khru, drugs addicts only love drugs and would sell their parents and sisters for more.
h !
i don't know what the hell you are on, but it's some weird dream !
Mysterion and his aliases have vanished into thin air.. imagine that.
mysterion has entered the bardo
i hope they continue to send him his pension there : o )
i think the real benefit of vegetarianism is reducing body iron stores and in fact, a combination of not eating so much in the way of high iron foods (i still eat meat!) and blood donation works best rather than the sort of raw foodism that jeffery dahmer does
my advice on the subject
i was thinking of making a "supreme wanker" award for the new hardcore zen blog, the three finalists are jinzang, ted and fred wih brad a lame 4th
it's a close finish, but TED is a clear winner : o )
fred is just a bit insane to be clearly only a supreme wanker
My guess is that Fred is 18 years old and discovered Buddhism last fall, so do go kind on him.
Honestly Andrew, those guys don't seem any more crazy than you do, just a lot more boring. And they are so sincere that they could be retarded. Brad fixed his blog, like I fixed my German Shepard.
the problem is they are not as crazy as me !
you see you understand so little of what this is about that you don't understand that you really have to be completely crazy to talk with and see buddha !
see when i call fred insane it's cause he actually has some natural aptitude, unfortunately he has something wrong with his brain, but "many are called"
i think one of brad's problems is fact he is really not crazy enough !
anyway, he's left us here and moved on in his own direction, so i guess this "last of the mohicans" will fade.............
you guys are just so suburban, you just have no idea how extreme things get to "see buddha"
course you never do so you think all this shit you blather means something !
"the problem is they are not as crazy as me !"
that's not the problem. That's only what you think and only sometimes.
you all know the passage...
sir henry neville, NOT shakeapeare
he at least existed which is more than can be said of jesus or buddha !
Doubt about Will
sign up - if you dare!
the reason why university academics don't believe that sir henry neville wrote those plays and poems is this
would a colourless middle class drab (shakespeare) with a propensity to litigate over small sums and no concrete evidence he could write at all have written them compared to a very well educated and read, upper class man with a large minded fabulous personality, super rich in life experience and fluent in languages of texts used as sources for the plays (sir henry neville)
yes, the academics plum for shakespeare : o )
I have given this new site a few looks but I'm sorry, it's terrible. I hate to see this old site replaced by some lame bastardization.
I might stop by every now and then but I leave the place to the new, strange Treeleafesque commentors. Change is bad, the established is good. Ciao..
or maybe not.
"Upon the old amusement pier I watch
The creeping darkness gather in the west.
Above the giant funhouse and the ghosts
I hear the seagulls call. They're going west
Toward some great Catalina of a dream
Out where the poem ends.
But does it end?
The birds are still in flight.
Believe the birds."
jack spicer, "Imaginary Elegies: IV"
full poem
a good zen master is like a lame poet, dogen towards the end of his life was becoming a reasonable poet!
where does that leave the turds who call themselves acolytes or accomplished in zen?
Poor mysterion.. Poor An3drew. Poor, poor old children everywhere.
not anti-semitic,
just anti-mafia,
whether italian,
israeli, or
hasta la buh bye NoCal basura McMason
nada te turbe - taizé
woohoo! Fred's getting better! Troll on you crazee Cubic Zirconia!
Hasty la wee-wee anony nony mouse
It is a shame what's happened to the formerly great hardcore zen blog. Fred, Ted, Mark, Fred, Ted, Mark, Fred, Ted, Mark, Jinzang, Fred, Ted, Mark, Fred, Ted, Mark.. So on and so on and so on ad infinitum.. Good for Brad.. He no longer has to feel bad about what people really think.
Um.. Let me say it for the free people of the internet. Fuck you Brad and your TOS agreement. You are and always will be a lamer. Once upon a time I thought you could withstand minor assaults to your ego. But I was giving you too much credit. So enjoy your new blog. It reflects the real you perfectly. Artless and inoffensive.
Yes, I agree. The TOS comes across as an angry and threatening gesture. It the interner had this TOS Brad could be sued for "personal attacks" by Genpo.
Anon 108.... it's not the layout of the new site, it's the TOS that is particularly flatulent.
You are so right mysterion..
The new blog is the very opposite of punk.
New site sucks. Very disappointed, though I realize that all is impermanent.
Poor An3drew. Poor old children everywhere.
Poor you
Yeah, I just returned from a meeting at the American Oriental Society...
But what about "The Life Between Lives"?
The "Sidpa Bardo" state concerns me. Is this where *you* would say that meditation (whatever affiliate) is helpful...or necessary?
well, like me you may look in the wrong places for interest when it's already there in what you do, have done and your own life ! : o )
an ounce of our own stuff is worth ten miles of anyone elses !
shove the bardo , the zen , advaita and spiritual plagiarism up your collective arses !
khru, you are on a drug called "religious crap"
the tibetan book of the dead and sidpa bardo
meaningless garbage !
that tibetan stuff is mentally retarded garbage
low iodine of course
stupid !
I stole it all from your blog, brother.
i can tell you are in the drug scene , you lie and tell unplausible untruths
just all way out stupid "untruths"
lying, stupidity and violence are just second nature to those of that ilk !
you should be reading my compendium and address the issues you are self-medicating for
you won't !
have a very painful middle age and older if you last!
that's the bardo you twit !
the living dead with insomnia, chronic pain and the various metabolic disorders
dance with mysterion : o )
Did the crack about the American Oriental Society make you jealous?
: )
...and I don't know if I'm buying the whole "SUN INTO THE OPEN MOUTH"-thing.
the basic point is that we have a physical need for sun on the skin in addition to vitamin D
i go into discussing ideas about "the right sun"
get some whole body solar noon sun (high solar alitude) over the next months or months
even a minute a day is something
test it, do you feel better, are the joints better etc !
so this is my page on the sun and health
solar noon is when the sun is at the highest in the sky
summer solar noon sun is really good for the joints
there is the cancer risk, you have to balance things up a bit, mainly i avoid going pink at all
and there is my advice on removing moles
and of course the rest of the compendium has a strong anti-cancer effect, but i suspect you lot prefer to die of cardiovascular and the other metabolic issues that come in part
from no sun like diabetes etc
but you lot are all medical cultists aren't you?
I'll try it...the sun in Hawaii will burn the hell out of you in the summer. I've never had a sunburn in my mouth but we'll see.
a solar elevation (height of the sun above the horizon) of about 67° and stratospheric ozone of 250-275 dobson is really the minimium for good skin D sun.
74° and above is the really good stuff, at that height it may even get enough into the skin blood to kill a few viruses and provide an 'innocualtion' or some dead viruses in the blood so the immune system can see them as some viruses seem to have good stealth, especially with biofilm
i feel the higher angles are better but for instance the hawaiian midsummer sun at its maximum height (84°!) might be a bit much for white skins, however i haven't had much experience with these very high sun angles, maybe short intense tropical sun level exposure is beneficial, maybe not, one has to experiment !
you are looking for gains in mood and health (eg. less inflammation and better joints, better mental flexibility, reduced non- skin cancer risk etc.) and balancing that against increaser skin cancer risk
if you have significantly smoked tobacco or pot you will have a considerably higher mouth cancer risk, did you know one joint has the carciogenicity of 20 cigarettes!
health is quite relevant to zen because dogen moved to a cool, damp and low sun area to found eihei-ji, he may not have died of TB if he had moved south into more intense sunlight areas, or at least lived another ten or twenty years to give a more mature and worked out zen rather than the mostly nonsense he is known by today !
the way he was togged up as monk and probably was indoors more than most monks wouldn't have helped either !
catherine of sienna is another religious whose entry into the religious life and the very masking effect of sun on the skin of those habits in fact killed her
she starved herself to death and had become extremely depressed
99 nights of insomnia
100 brad, fred, mark,anon108, broken yogi, ted and the general toads-free posts
the stayers are anonymouse ! anonymous, mysterion, andrew and khru !!!!!!!!!
winners !
Someone posted a picture of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso to Brad's Facebook page and Brad then writes, "I don't even want to get into the implied racism of choosing to illustrate this idea with a photo of a bucktoothed, bespectacled Asian with his head bowed submissively."
I'm thinking that Brad had the racist reaction here. He saw a picture of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and only saw him as a bucktoothed, bespectacled Asian with his head bowed submissively..
Glad I was able to raise that possibility somewhere.
point taken. he *is* a little goofy looking. i'll say that much.
imagine sitting there waiting to be shot ! get some perspective !
OK so I let the direct sunlight shine into my open mouth. It was hot but I became used to it. At around minute four, bright, white lights suddenly shot out of both my ears as well as my anus.
Should I be worried?
on mars this is quite normal, but here it means death by suicide between 40 and 55
You people need to get your arses over to the newer, better blog and make it interesting.
Chas...where are you?
what brad can do with the new blog is moderate certain people, of which you are not one khru.
imo the people he wants to get rid of are mysterion and myself !
mysterion because he's so perseveratively boring and me because i'm so interesting
it's actually been a very interesting experience to watch the new blog turn into the usual spiritual masturbatory forum !
the other thing that really surprised me is how limited brad is, especially in any sort of general and even buddhist knowledge
the new hardcore zen blog tone
"Ted, I enjoy seeing your picture, humor and humility is what I see and I wish I had one to match."
now the reply needed is
"mark huhu huhu owww, yes give it to ted up the arse"
but of course brad the zen master with paying acolytes (well one day.....) can't permit that sort of stuff anymore
basically he's going with what is necessary to keep a financial group and who can blame him?
so its the end of an era i think !
More like the end of an error.
an3drew said, "Imo the people he wants to get rid of are mysterion and myself !"
an3drew, Sorry old boy but you are almost as boring as mysterion. Except to yourself of course.
The timing of the changes makes me think that it was more likely Moi..
When I criticized his dishonest eBay practices he immediately deleted my post and changed the format and clamped down on the anonymi. He managed to suffer through all sorts of strange comments until I hit a little too close to home with that one. The eBay comment was actually quite mild and logical but the truth was not acceptable to Brad at that point as he shrunk back from it as if it were a herpes sore. The format changes were coming anyway but by then he'd had enough. Maybe it was the stress of moving to L.A. again and trying to sell his silly guitar for twice it's real value that finally unnerved him.
Either way, he lost what was compelling about himself and his blog. It was a Jump the Shark moment.
lol, i am, ceasing to be interesting even to myself !
i do remember him responding to that e-bay criticism
i think the most telling thing i ever saw with brad was that video he did with his niece and when he started talking about fame she made pistol shooting signs at him which i assume is the families opinion of what he is doing with zen and is probably correct and if he won't listen to those who care for him then arguement is pretty pointless !
Hey Anon,
Why do you suppose we post public criticism of Brad instead of keeping our judgements to ourselves?
you might ask why does one post here?
from brad's point of view i think he's been offered a lot of useful, if painful advice he's ignored which says alot for the stupidity of zazen and what is called zen
for myself everything i write is a development of my thinking and hopefully problem solving about life so that i walk away with something and not just a waste of time reinforcing of what i already i think i know !
Nice to read your perspective, A. I'm still curious to hear Ebay Anon's POV.
For me, I think in cliche psychological terms. I think I've got unresolved anger from early childhood situations. Something about Brad's manner of expression often triggers this pent up rage and I vent towards him and his situation. It could be that Brad represents a figure that oppressed me, or it could also be that he represents me, doing something I would be punished for, and in my criticism of him I am taking on the role of my old oppressor.
This is why I post anonymously. It would be very embarassing to have my real name attached to this, and be searchable.
brad's a bit narcisstic, it's all about him
i'm sorta the opposite, i piss my time away helping arseholes who just about always kick me in the face with their renewed strength
basically i think all you can do is see what you are like and try to avoid the pitfalls : o)
man i go in straight line for a million miles and it's very penal but what i find is that if i continue to the very end i get in some place that really gives strong insight and is really very different like the proverbial mountainpeak
So essentially, you're practicing "tough love" with Brad?
Anonymous, we all post anonymously...do you think my real name is "Karl Hungus"?
so i think that brad's narcissim has led him his present unproductive situation where being a zen master meets his need to be a sort of cynosure or "elevated person"
it's interesting that all his years of zazen haven't given him any insight into this or improved his life functionality !
the number one area where people in zen always GO WRONG is they ignore literature and what is across the ages like emily dickinson, heraclitus, sappho, nietzsche etc etc
dogen as i have said is very uneven and if you hitch your wagon to a half lighted schizophrenic star ....
Lbasically i think all you can do is see what you are like and try to avoid the pitfalls : o)
Oh that's a really kind and forgiving way of looking at myself... thanks A :)
RE: Brad, lots of people have years of practice, not everyone writes books about it or gets recognition for their effort. Add recognition from an old Japanese teacher to that - pretty rare. Maybe I get jealous of Brad getting recognition while I've gotten none and want it desparately? (Again cliche psychology kicking in here).
Khru I imagine that you are a Klingon.
@5:09 PM Khru said...
"Chas...where are you?"
Nowhere. Same place I've always been.
i'm here and here and here and here............. and not here........... and dead : o )
i think brad is an author and musician who has mistakenly got into zen!
either !
108 is probably doubting his latest comment of 7/14 but he shouldn't. It was incisive and on point.
yeah, i thought it was good too! it's such a relief to say what one thinks sometimes and not have to conform to the usual crap !
i really think brad doesn't look around even slightly, a couple of hours on the web looking at tolle , some of the advaita teachers like karl renz and jeff foster would tell him the way to go for income and don't ever ever specifically ask for money gratis on a blog
ditch the music too, waste of time
brad what's wrong with you that you have to moderate me who talks sense on your new blog and give the wanking free rein and then they kick you in the teeth when you ask for money?
you were a pretty boy brad with good health , but as we get older that all changes.........
a quote for brad from Louis-Ferdinand Celine
"If you aren't rich you should always look useful. "
i think you have talent, but your writing has degenerated into crap, especially the buddhist stuff , so not being rich you have a fundamental koan to face
consider it assigned by the 7th patriarch : o )
if you had any guts you would be able to give a realistic reply to this in the matter of a matter of fact discussion !
i don't wish you ill, we all have and have had major problems like this and can offer useful perspectives
just put aside being a zen master (not too difficult as i have already sacked you !) and talk like fellow nut case in life who has problems
"fred is just a bit insane to be clearly only a supreme wanker"
Thankyou Mr. Patriarch, Sir.
well, honestly fred that crap you write !
you flakes who spew the crap like what real work have you ever put into working out what it's about
minus 6450%
look at your reply , all sensitive worrying about your self image !
Fred, It would be one thing if you wrote what your really thought.. But you censor that shit. So, No respect.
Andrew, you think your crap isn't
crap? Narcissistic delusion, my friend
*I*, on the other hand, write *only* very meaningful things!
Broken Yogi is writing with real clarity over at the new blog. WTF got into him?
fred, unlike you i rest in infinity or buddha in the quality of my writing
one of my best
doesn't that mean anything to you?
i was there, it's my life experience and observation and i have walked that stream !
you snipe puerilities from the side line and use phoney words like "friend"
yeah, i like broken yogi's comments as well, theres a maturity there, but still a wrong mindedness, can't let go of the buddhist bullshit as illusion
but if you look at people like dogen and hakuin, they were writers and artists and it's the artistic process of writing that develops (except for fred and some like him who fight tooth, claw and nail against any realisation of insufficiency)
so actually the blog writing and commenting, if you are open to it, will do way more for you thatn the hypnotic nightmare of zazen !
fred as amatter of interest do you meditate?
i am wondering what you do to do screw yourself up, i mean, you don't even slightly seem to have got what its about, in fact the opposite, so what you do is of interest !
fred , if you can be hurt, there's someone to be hurt, if there's no-one to be hurt, that's the enlightened space
we can be more than visitors to that space : o )
Blogger an3drew has left far too few comments in this, the terminus of this blogger venue...
an3drew, could you share with us all (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) the fruition of your vision before returning to the medications you so obviously require?
In an insane world, a sane man must "appear" insane.
Thank god(s) that were are merely the minor flaws in the otherwise harmonious fabric of the universe!
"Confirmation of the Higgs boson or something very much like it would constitute a rendezvous with destiny for a generation of physicists who have believed in the boson for half a century without ever seeing it. The finding affirms a grand view of a universe described by simple and elegant and symmetrical laws — but one in which everything interesting, like ourselves, results from flaws or breaks in that symmetry."

anonymouse, "normative reality" is the medication
can't say i intend to return there (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
as to my visions
it really amazes me what some of you guys think zen is about, some sort of zazen hypnosis to render the illusion of the suburban dream liveable !
Wow what a blog page i am so satisfied to see here can you more post, i am returning again again to your website as soon as possible and i have lot of information about Technology News Information
Tech news
what is... is
what was... was
what will be...
wait and see
what is .. wasn't
what was isn't
what will be ... already was
raucous screwed up noise
i don't think that musicans in any way would have what you would call an "enlightened perspective" ! : o )
the nearest would be chopin's études !
Brad's new site sucks.
any board that takes the likes of fred and mark away from here can't be too bad : o )
i think brad has lost his form and become more suburban and actually quite dishonest since he now claims his new board is not moderated at all
well yeah until you post something he doesn't like !
but zen is screwed which is why i sacked almost all the teachers and interestly i am now persona non grata on sweeping zen they may even have script to delete my comments automatically
: o )
the interesting thing about the massacre at the "batman: the dark knight rises" movie is something real happened at what is entirely F. A. K. E. !
the problem with movies and computer games is they glamourise violence in a way that is unrealistic, like no-one is really hurt and it all just happens again :o )
they're not saying that in syria ! (ed. 2012 uprising)
i wonder if that's the problem with mark, fred, michel and the endless bullshitters on brad's blog, that they are habitual liars and can't tell the difference between bullshit and truth cause they really seem not able to !
they don't understand the costs to themselves and i don't think brad is by any means as upfront as he makes out !
consider the tremendous value that silence offers you.
get your head out of your arse !
if you want silence , you've got tinnitus
anonymouse's are my voices ?
"He could still hear her screaming, high, loud, spine-chilling screams. Hans began to think that if the men raping her knew he could hear them, they would come to kill him, too, so he ran to his car and drove"
talk to them, take them seriously
well, i'm handling that part right
"more than 20 years ago he was working with a patient who had been struggling with her voices. she came in one day and told him that a book she had been reading had helped her because it made her feel that her voices had meaning. the writer was a man named julian jaynes"
the book, "the origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind" ...
to the anonymouse voice that wrote
"consider the tremendous value that silence offers you."
i stop
jayce said: "Brad had outgrown his Blogger blog – with only one page, the layout squished blog posts to the page's center, while forcing other content to the sides. With the new site, we've created multiple pages to house content, improving the layout and typography overall.
The new site uses WordPress to allow easy maintenance of Brad's pre-existing blog, while providing complete flexibility for future growth."
Translation: Brad was tired of having to deal with unmoderated questions about his integrity. It hurt him where he lived.
sleep on it
Brad's new blog is so very boring now. I guess that's good for some.
What do you mean? Brad's writing is pretty much the same to me.
What I mean is all the tension is gone from the blog. Brad writes much the same as before but has eliminated criticism.
It's not so good now.
It's true I guess. The new "Terms of Service" legal contract really does come across as a thinly veiled threat.
Andrew, I like the sound of your voice!
yeah andrew, you sound like my landlord coming around for rent.

Hotchkiss identified what she called the seven deadly sins of narcissism:
Shamelessness: Shame is the feeling that lurks beneath all unhealthy narcissism, and the inability to process shame in healthy ways.
Magical thinking: Narcissists see themselves as perfect, using distortion and illusion known as magical thinking. They also use projection to dump shame onto others.
Arrogance: A narcissist who is feeling deflated may reinflate by diminishing, debasing, or degrading somebody else.
Envy: A narcissist may secure a sense of superiority in the face of another person's ability by using contempt to minimize the other person.
Entitlement: Narcissists hold unreasonable expectations of particularly favorable treatment and automatic compliance because they consider themselves special. Failure to comply is considered an attack on their superiority, and the perpetrator is considered an "awkward" or "difficult" person. Defiance of their will is a narcissistic injury that can trigger narcissistic rage.
Exploitation: Can take many forms but always involves the exploitation of others without regard for their feelings or interests. Often the other is in a subservient position where resistance would be difficult or even impossible. Sometimes the subservience is not so much real as assumed.
Bad boundaries: Narcissists do not recognize that they have boundaries and that others are separate and are not extensions of themselves. Others either exist to meet their needs or may as well not exist at all. Those who provide narcissistic supply to the narcissist are treated as if they are part of the narcissist and are expected to live up to those expectations. In the mind of a narcissist there is no boundary between self and other.
poor narcissists... they've got it rough, that's for sure.
lol, mysterion ! hey 200 is coming up !

5 must-see firework shows to start the New Year with a bang
New Year's tradition sees incredible fireworks displays taking place all around the world. And the transition from 2013 to 2014 will be no exception. Here's our selection of five fireworks shows that promise to be spectacular, original must-sees.
After a blockbuster year for the city, which recently won hosting duties for the 2020 Universal Exposition, the emirate wants to end 2013 on a high note. The organizers of the city's fireworks show on December 31-January 1 hope to make it the biggest fireworks display in the world and receive recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records. Famous sites like the Palm Jumeirah, The World's manmade islands and the Burj Al Arab, Madinat Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach hotels will be lit up. Over 200 pyrotechnicians will oversee 450,000 fireworks set off.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong plans to go all out with its fireworks show this year. The traditional display on Victoria Harbour will light up the city's sky, choreographed across six musical themes. The first fireworks will be launched at midnight in Tsim Sha Tsui, in Kowloon, then the show crosses the harbor for its finale above the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center, in the Wan Chai district.
The Catalan city will put on a truly unique spectacle to mark the arrival of 2014. Put together by the Fura dels Baus company, the show will mix fireworks, water choreography and music by the famous Magic Fountain of Montjuic. At the core of the show will be El Ser del Milenio, an iron giant measuring 15 meters tall, who symbolizes the spirit of Barcelona.
This year's European capital of culture, the southern French city will close 2013 with the final chapter of a light and sound spectacle created by Groupe F that has been performed throughout the year. A mix of fireworks, light and water choreography, music and storytelling, the spectacle has been seen in various towns in the region and will come to a dramatic conclusion at the Old Port of Marseille, starting at 7 PM.
New York
A million people are awaited at Times Square to celebrate the arrival of the new year. The climax of the USA's must-see event is the famous "Ball Drop" which counts down to midnight as the crowd's excitement builds. To best see the fireworks, a good spot is the Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn or a location in Manhattan.

Since the 1980s, leading U.S. firms have announced massive downsizing plans in the name of maximizing shareholder value, but some observers are skeptical about how serious firms are in implementing these plans. Building on political theories of corporate governance, I examine how conflicts of interest and alignment among investors, workers, and top managers affect the implementation of announced downsizing plans.
Conventional research in organizational theory highlights the role of board interlocks in facilitating business collective action. In this article, I propose that business collective action affects the evolutionary path of interlock networks. In particular, large market players' response after a collective action to the classic problem of the "exploitation" of the great by the small provides a mechanism for interlocks to evolve.
Community reactions against organizations can be driven by negative information spread through a diffusion process that is distinct from the diffusion of organizational practices. Bank panics offer a classic example of selective diffusion of negative information. Bank panics involve widespread bank runs, although a low proportion of banks experience a run. We develop theory on how organizational similarity, community similarity, and network proximity create selective diffusion paths for resistance against organizations.
Several recent spatial analyses conclude the strong positive association typically found between neighborhood concentrated disadvantage and crime in cross-sectional studies significantly differs across neighborhoods. It is possible this spatial variation is due to within-neighborhood dynamics of continuity and change, as suggested by ecological theories of neighborhood crime.
Numerous studies document that higher education is associated with a reduced likelihood of depression. The protective effects of higher education, however, are known to vary across population subgroups. This study tests competing theories for who is likely to obtain a greater protective benefit from a college degree against depression through an analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and recently developed methods for analyzing heterogeneous treatment effects involving the use of propensity scores.
This paper contrasts two money-related stressors—debt and economic hardship—and clarifies where debt fits into the stress process model. Debt may be a direct or indirect stressor, as something mediated by psychosocial resources, and may be a potential buffer, interacting with economic hardship. The analyses use data from a two-wave panel study of 1,463 adults. One way debt is distinct from economic hardship is that debt is more common among economically advantaged groups.
Social scientists have drawn on theories of embeddedness to explain the different ways legal, political, and cultural frameworks shape markets. Often overlooked, however, is how the materiality of nature also structures markets. In this article, I suggest that neo-Polanyian scholars, and economic sociologists more generally, should better engage in a historical sociology of concept formation to problematize the human exemptionalist paradigm their work upholds and recognize the role of nature in shaping markets and society.
This article is about behavioral variation in genocide. Research frequently suggests that violent behaviors can be explained by or treated as synonymous with ethnic categories. This literature also tends to pre-group actors as perpetrators, victims, or bystanders for research purposes. However, evidence that individuals cross boundaries from killing to desistance and saving throughout genocide indicates that the relationship between behaviors and categories is often in flux.
American Indians experience forms of domination and resist them through a wide range of decolonizing processes that are commonly overlooked, misidentified, or minimally analyzed by American sociology. This inattention reflects the naturalizing use of minoritizing frameworks regarding tribal members and ethnic rather than political conceptions of American Indian nationhood, membership, and identity.
I critique Glenn's article on settler colonialism and Bonilla-Silva's article on critical race analysis from Indigenous perspectives, including racial genocide and world-systems analysis, to cover five centuries of global systemic racism during the conquest of the Americas, by Spanish and English colonizers and United States imperialism. I also propose macro-structural, comparative-historical analysis of racism including the destruction, resistance, and revitalization of Native Nations and American Indians.

What is a fixed home loan?
A fixed rate home loan is a loan where the interest rate is set for a certain amount of time, usually between one and 15 years. The advantage of a fixed rate is that you know exactly how much your repayments will be for the duration of the fixed term. There are some disadvantages to fixing that you need to be aware of. Some products won't let you make extra repayments, or offer tools such as an offset account to help you reduce your interest, while others will charge a significant break fee if you decide to terminate the loan before the fixed period finishes.
When should I switch home loans?
The answer to this question is dependent on your personal circumstances – there is no best time for refinancing that will apply to everyone.
If you want a lower interest rate but are happy with the other aspects of your loan it may be worth calling your lender to see if you can negotiate a better deal. If you have some equity up your sleeve – at least 20 per cent – and have done your homework to see what other lenders are offering new customers, pick up the phone to your bank and negotiate. If they aren't prepared to offer you lower rate or fees, then you've already done the research, so consider switching.
What is a split home loan?
A split loan lets you fix a portion of your loan, and leave the remainder on a variable rate so you get a bet each way on fixed and variable rates. A split loan is a good option for someone who wants the peace of mind that regular repayments can provide but still wants to retain some of the additional features variable loans typically provide such as an offset account. Of course, with most things in life, split loans are still a trade-off. If the variable rate goes down, for example, the lower interest rates will only apply to the section that you didn't fix.
How do I refinance my home loan?
Refinancing your home loan can involve a bit of paperwork but if you are moving on to a lower rate, it can save you thousands of dollars in the long-run. The first step is finding another loan on the market that you think will save you money over time or offer features that your current loan does not have. Once you have selected a couple of loans you are interested in, compare them with your current loan to see if you will save money in the long term on interest rates and fees. Remember to factor in any break fees and set up fees when assessing the cost of switching.
Once you have decided on a new loan it is simply a matter of contacting your existing and future lender to get the new loan set up. Beware that some lenders will revert your loan back to a 25 or 30 year term when you refinance which may mean initial lower repayments but may cost you more in the long run.
Who has the best home loan?
Determining who has the 'best' home loan really does depend on your own personal circumstances and requirements. It may be tempting to judge a loan merely on the interest rate but there can be added value in the extras on offer, such as offset and redraw facilities, that aren't available with all low rate loans.
To determine which loan is the best for you, think about whether you would prefer the consistency of a fixed loan or the flexibility and potential benefits of a variable loan. Then determine which features will be necessary throughout the life of your loan. Thirdly, consider how much you are willing to pay in fees for the loan you want. Once you find the perfect combination of these three elements you are on your way to determining the best loan for you.
What is a variable home loan?
A variable rate home loan is one where the interest rate can and will change over the course of your loan. The rate is determined by your lender, not the Reserve Bank of Australia, so while the cash rate might go down, your bank may decide not to follow suit, although they do broadly follow market conditions. One of the upsides of variable rates is that they are typically more flexible than their fixed rate counterparts which means that a lot of these products will let you make extra repayments and offer features such as offset accounts.
How can I get a home loan with no deposit?
Following the Global Financial Crisis, no-deposit loans, as they once used to be known, have largely been removed from the market. Now, if you wish to enter the market with no deposit, you will require a property of your own to secure a loan against or the assistance of a guarantor.
How can I calculate interest on my home loan?
You can calculate the total interest you will pay over the life of your loan by using a mortgage calculator. The calculator will estimate your repayments based on the amount you want to borrow, the interest rate, the length of your loan, whether you are an owner-occupier or an investor and whether you plan to pay 'principal and interest' or 'interest-only'.
If you are buying a new home, the calculator will also help you work out how much you'll need to pay in stamp duty and other related costs.
What if I can't pay off my guaranteed home loan?
If you can't pay off your guaranteed home loan, your lender might chase your guarantor for the money.
A guaranteed home loan is a legally binding agreement in which the guarantor assumes overall responsibility for the mortgage. So if the borrower falls behind on their mortgage, the lender might insist that the guarantor cover the repayments. If the guarantor fails to do so, the lender might seize the guarantor's security (which is often the family home) so it can recoup its money.
How can I pay off my home loan faster?
The quickest way to pay off your home loan is to make regular extra contributions in addition to your monthly repayments to pay down the principal as fast as possible. This in turn reduces the amount of interest paid overall and shortens the length of the loan.
Another option may be to increase the frequency of your payments to fortnightly or weekly, rather than monthly, which may then reduce the amount of interest you are charged, depending on how your lender calculates repayments.
What is a bad credit home loan?
A bad credit home loan is a mortgage for people with a low credit score. Lenders regard bad credit borrowers as riskier than 'vanilla' borrowers, so they tend to charge higher interest rates for bad credit home loans.
If you want a bad credit home loan, you're more likely to get approved by a small non-bank lender than by a big four bank or another mainstream lender.
How do guaranteed home loans work?
A guaranteed home loan involves a guarantor (often a parent) promising to pay off a mortgage if the principal borrower (often the child) fails to do so. The guarantor will also have to provide security, which is often the family home.
The principal borrower will usually be someone struggling to find the money to enter the property market. By partnering with a guarantor, the borrower increases their financial power and becomes less of a risk in the eyes of lenders. As a result, the borrower may:
- Qualify for a mortgage that they would have otherwise been denied
- Not be required to pay lender's mortgage insurance (LMI)
- Be charged a lower interest rate
- Be charged less in fees
What is a low-deposit home loan?
A low-deposit home loan is a mortgage where you need to borrow more than 80 per cent of the purchase price – in other words, your deposit is less than 20 per cent of the purchase price.
For example, if you want to buy a $500,000 property, you'll need a low-deposit home loan if your deposit is less than $100,000 and therefore you need to borrow more than $400,000.
As a general rule, you'll need to pay LMI (lender's mortgage insurance) if you take out a low-deposit home loan. You can use this LMI calculator to estimate your LMI payment.
Does Australia have no-deposit home loans?
Australia no longer has no-deposit home loans – or 100 per cent home loans as they're also known – because they're regarded as too risky.
However, some lenders allow some borrowers to take out mortgages with a 5 per cent deposit.
Another option is to source a deposit from elsewhere – either by using a parental guarantee or by drawing out equity from another property.
How much money can I borrow for a home loan?
Tip: You can use RateCity how much can I borrow calculator to get a quick answer.
How much money you can borrow for a home loan will depend on a number of factors including your employment status, your income (and your partner's income if you are taking out a joint loan), the size of your deposit, your living expenses and any other debt you might hold, including credit cards.
A good place to start is to work out how much you can afford to make in monthly repayments, factoring in a buffer of at least 2 – 3 per cent to allow for interest rate rises along the way. You'll also need to factor in additional costs that come with purchasing a property such as stamp duty, legal fees, building inspections, strata or council fees.
If you are planning on renting the property, you can factor in the expected rental income to help offset the mortgage, but again it's prudent to add a significant buffer to allow for rental management fees, maintenance costs and short periods of no rental income when tenants move out. It's also wise to factor in changes in personal circumstances – the typical home loan lasts for around 30 years and a lot can happen between now and then.
What are the pros and cons of no-deposit home loans?
It's no longer possible to get a no-deposit home loan in Australia. In some circumstances, you might be able to take out a mortgage with a 5 per cent deposit – but before you do so, it's important to weigh up the pros and cons.
The big advantage of borrowing 95 per cent (also known as a 95 per cent home loan) is that you get to buy your property sooner. That may be particularly important if you plan to purchase in a rising market, where prices are increasing faster than you can accumulate savings.
But 95 per cent home loans also have disadvantages. First, the 95 per cent home loan market is relatively small, so you'll have fewer options to choose from. Second, you'll probably have to pay LMI (lender's mortgage insurance). Third, you'll probably be charged a higher interest rate. Fourth, the more you borrow, the more you'll ultimately have to pay in interest. Fifth, if your property declines in value, your mortgage might end up being worth more than your home.
Does Australia have no cost refinancing?
No Cost Refinancing is an option available in the US where the lender or broker covers your switching costs, such as appraisal fees and settlement costs. Unfortunately, no cost refinancing isn't available in Australia.
Can I change jobs while I am applying for a home loan?
Whether you're a new borrower or you're refinancing your home loan, many lenders require you to be in a permanent job with the same employer for at least 6 months before applying for a home loan. Different lenders have different requirements.
If your work situation changes for any reason while you're applying for a mortgage, this could reduce your chances of successfully completing the process. Contacting the lender as soon as you know your employment situation is changing may allow you to work something out.
Can I get a home loan if I am on an employment contract?
Some lenders will allow you to apply for a mortgage if you are a contractor or freelancer. However, many lenders prefer you to be in a permanent, ongoing role, because a more stable income means you're more likely to keep up with your repayments.
If you're a contractor, freelancer, or are otherwise self-employed, it may still be possible to apply for a low-doc home loan, as these mortgages require less specific proof of income.
Will I have to pay lenders' mortgage insurance twice if I refinance?
If your deposit was less than 20 per cent of your property's value when you took out your original loan, you may have paid lenders' mortgage insurance (LMI) to cover the lender against the risk that you may default on your repayments.
If you refinance to a new home loan, but still don't have enough deposit and/or equity to provide 20 per cent security, you'll need to pay for the lender's LMI a second time. This could potentially add thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in upfront costs to your mortgage, so it's important to consider whether the financial benefits of refinancing may be worth these costs.
