Love is a Miracle
HAI Personal Relationship Workshops in Australia
A Powerful Love, Intimacy and Sexuality Workshop - Love is a Miracle
Even if you don't believe in miracles, come prepared to experience one. At the 'Love is a Miracle' workshop you'll experience love, trust and relationship in a way you've never before thought possible:
In a caring, supportive and safe environment, discover the ingredients for happy, healthy, loving, intimate relationships. Shed your fears, judgments and dis-empowering beliefs that keep you separate from others.
Where did you learn about love, intimacy and sexuality? What we often don't realize is that our very ideas about these topics may prevent us from fully expressing and receiving love. The workshop provides an opportunity to examine this.
Participants are profoundly moved by the depth of emotional openness that repeatedly occurs throughout the course of a weekend. Imagine if you can, a group of people being completely honest and real with each other.
Experience our unique workshops where in a safe and nurturing environment you can learn and practice many ways to improve your relationships.

The most successful and distinguished architect of Lord Burlington's Palladian group was William Kent, the son of a working class Yorkshireman. Several of Kent's buildings in London still survive, certainly enough to demonstrate his very personal approach to Palladianism architecture.
Characteristics of this approach are his strong feeling for advancing and retreating solid volumes, low pyramid roofs and the rather surprising Baroque touches which appear in his buildings and, most strongly, in his splendid furniture.
Early Life
Kent was born at Bridlington in Yorkshire and was apprenticed to a coach-painter in Hull in about 1700. His talent was discovered by a group of aristocratic patrons of the arts, who paid for him to go and study painting in Italy. In exchange, he was to send back paintings and sculpture for his patrons.
The young Kent set off for Italy in 1709 or 1710 and studied in Rome in the studio of the painter Benedetto Luti. There, he met many wealthy English travellers doing the Grand Tour and established personal contacts which would last.
For a while, he helped these visitors with their purchases of works of art. He made them laugh too: Kent was plump and very short, with an impish sense of humour which recognised no social superiors. And by 1713 he had established a fair reputation as a painter in Rome rather curiously, it seems today, when one considers the poor quality of his surviving paintings. His great talents for architecture, furniture and landscape design were not discovered until a decade later.
Kent probably met Lord Burlington in Rome in 1714 and the two very different Yorkshiremen took to each other at this first brief contact. After travels around Italy with other noblemen, the young painter wrote in 1717 that he wanted to come back to England, but was worried about the popularity in London of "ye French gusto in painting". In 1719 Kent went to meet Lord Burlington in Genoa during the latter's tour to see Palladio's buildings at Vicenza. Burlington brought Kent back to London that Christmas.
On 30th January 1720 Kent wrote to one of his original patrons, Burrell Massingberd, about "ye days being so short and cold to an Italian constitution yt I keep my little room, only twice a week yt I go to ye Operas". Burlington installed the "Signior" in an apartment in Burlington House, and Kent was to live there, in effect as jester to the court of resident artists, until his death.
Lord Burlington immediately started to promote his protege's interests to the King and to the court, gaining him several commissions for paintings. In 1724, Kent edited a book of Inigo Jones's designs, and in the following year, he designed the interiors for Burlington's own villa at Chiswick (Chiswick House) and the picturesque ruined temple at Claremont in Surrey.
It seems that Kent may have returned to Italy in 1730 to study architecture at last and his career in building design dates from that time, coinciding with Burlington's withdrawal from fashionable court life.
Kent's White House at Kew Palace of 1731-35 has been demolished, as has his large Royal Mews building of 1732, which stood on the site of the present National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. His Gothic entrance of 1732 in the Clock Court of Hampton. Court Palace, with the Cumberland Suite, survives, and his painted Royal Barge of the same year is in the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich. At this time he also did the monument to Lord Stanhope in Westminster Abbey, restored the Rubens ceiling in the Banqueting House and designed fancy dress costumes which could turn a fashionable lady into a "walking Palladio in petticoats".
Important Works
During the 1730s Kent's practice grew enormously and included some major country houses. In 1733-36 his design for the Treasury building was started. The design consisted of a long three-storey block with pavilions at each end. Unfortunately, only the centre of the block was built, omitting three bays at each end as well as the pavilions, and this stands on the south side of the Horse Guards Parade off Whitehall.
The building, with its projecting pedimented central section and sophisticated rustication overall, is of great Palladian elegance. But, standing alone without its wings, the height of the elevation makes the proportions appear strange. The interior has been largely rebuilt as flats for present-day government ministers.
In the same years during which the old Treasury was designed and started, Kent was building Devonshire House in Piccadilly for the third Duke of Devonshire. It was a simple and strong brick mansion with splendid Kent interiors. In 1924 it was demolished and replaced by the office block of the same name.
It was in 1738 that Kent started his revolutionary landscaping of the park at Rousham Hall in Oxfordshire, and at the same time, he was working on designs (1732-39) for re-building Westminster Palace, which were never executed. In 1740-42 he designed the famous monument to Shakespeare in Westminster Abbey (the statue was carved by Scheemakers) and rooms at No. l0 Downing Street. The much-altered house at No. 22 Arlington Street, beside the Ritz Hotel, dates from the same years. It was built in 1741-50 and is now being restored to its original state.
William Kent was established as the leading architect in the capital. He was not a cheap artist to employ. According to the Palladian amateur Sir Thomas Rob Signior often gave his orders when he was full of Caret, and as he did not perhaps see the works for several months he would order without consulting his employers, three,or four hundred pounds worth of work to be directly pulled down." He lived extravagantly, keeping a mistress named Elizabeth Butler in Covent Garden, for whom he later provided in his will, but becoming very fat from "high feeding and life" at Burlington House.
During the 1740s, Kent was at work on designing two major public buildings for London which were not built until after his death. The first, the Courts of Justice beside the Houses of Parliament, stood where the public entrance to the House of Commons is today.
The range, erected under the supervision of John Vardy in 1758-70, was a typical Kent design with a pedimented central section facing the east end of Westminster Abbey, wings and corner pavilions with Kent's favourite pyramid roofs. The building was damaged by the 1834 fire at Parliament and was finally demolished in 1850.
In early 1748 Kent made a visit to Paris. In April of that year he got an "inflammation of his bowels and foot" which spread through his body quickly. He died on 12 April, and Lord Burlington had his Signior buried in the Boyle family vault at Chiswick.

Once upon a time, I started my career in London as a photographer — one of the reasons, I'm sure, why Jack Lowe Studio has been so successful. To have this background is to understand my clients' vision and requirements.
I always promised myself that I would re-embrace my photography one day.
Over at jacklowe.com I've been doing just that and, more recently, starting a huge undertaking in the form of The Lifeboat Station Project.
Pay me a visit over there too…!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/8/2014 (966 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WE were enjoying a historical day at The Forks. My non-verbal, nearly three-year-old son was running small laps around our stroller as we sat on the grassy steps by the water.
Suddenly, the muskets fired, and he darted up the steps. We ran after him, but he was gone into the crowd.
I took my eldest daughter with me and put the younger ones in care of one of the historical actors.
We didn't even know what direction to go. I was so afraid he'd run back down and go close to the river. I asked security to call the police, but they had some confusion on the policy. We asked spectators to look. We stopped the band to announce our desperate plea.
As 20 minutes went by, we were spent, emotionally. A bilingual couple took charge. They helped us look and demanded security call the police.
One of the historical soldiers found our son hiding under a chair in an abandoned patio restaurant close to where we were sitting when he ran off.
I wish I caught the names of the couple who helped us and those who found him and kept our other children safe. One motherly lady dressed in historical costume held my eldest as she sobbed in her arms.
The police came swiftly. The best news of my life was hearing our son was found alive and well.
We fell in a heap, hugging him and sobbing openly. Many fellow Winnipeggers patted our backs to say they were glad he was found. That day showed us once again the bond of fellow man to work together and rejoice together. Shared sorrow is sorrow halved. Shared joy is double joy.
— the Sawicki family

Is this bloke a twunt?
(59 Posts)I have developed a sort of 'closeness' with someone at work though nothing has ever happened physically. He has said he would like it to many times. I am not sure though I like him a lot. We've been out as friends for coffees and to the odd film. But there is a strange pattern that is, to be frank, pissing me off even on the basis that we are supposedly 'friends'.
Yesterday was a prime example. We had a works drinks thing in the evening. Earlier in the day he sent an email saying 'such a shame we have to spent time making small talk with others - it'd be nice to sneak off to a film together'. We are actually supposed to be going to a film on Monday so I replied 'yes, Monday though!'
Anyway, come the actual drinks, he more or less blanked me though I was sitting at the same table. Instead he flirted heavily with the pretty young blonde sitting right next to me. At one point when I asked him a question about something he said I'll explain it to X (pretty blonde girl) and started whispering in her ear which made me feel like a total idiot. I wanted to get up and move but I was sat in an awkward position and it would have looked pointed I felt.
Now he's often said that he doesn't want people at work knowing how 'close' (his word) we are and that we should 'give each other space around colleagues'.
FWIW I've agreed because I don't want gossip etc
But surely there's a difference between not being obviously cliquey and being downright rude? And he doesn't seem to have any similar problems about being perceived as 'close' to the woman he was flirting with.
But this is the truly odd bit.. he left the drinks and on his way home texted me asking me to go out to a party with him tonight. I ignored it. He then called me twice today - I ignored and send me an email again about the party to which I answered that I already had plans.
Is it just me, or is this really twuntish behaviour? He is developing real form for basically ignoring me in social situations, then texting, calling, messaging etc quite intensely. But then insisting 'no one must know',
I'm not sure I can be bothered to be his friend. It's exhausting and annoying. What's going on?
Not sure what's going on but I couldn't be arsed with all the games to be honest.
Sounds like a power/control thing to be.
Disengage and don't waste your time!
Yes, he is twunt. It should be fun at this stage but your situation sounds mentally exhausting. The flirty thing with the blonde - well he just sounds like a snake. Don't bother, save your the hassle.
What do you mean by "closeness"? Friendship? Flirtation?
He's lining you up to be his dirty little secret. Steer well clear.
He sounds like he's using you, trying to keep his options open...what a wanker. Pull him up on it then run a mile. A guy who was really into you would respect you and not give a shit about who knew.
I read your OP and purposefully didn't read any responses as I wanted to give my gut reaction.
My gut reaction is that he is a twunt....yes. Games and unpredictable behaviour.
Bollocks to that.
Sorry It sounds like he's using you', not he.
Jolleigh's right, steer well clear. He sounds like a head fuck and life's too short for one of these.
What Toes said, snake definitely. Twunt definitely and a purveyor of the finest red flags! Cool right orf pronto!
He's a game player. Steer clear.
Twunty-twunt twunt. I'm glad you told him you had plans.
yep sounds like a class A twunt - have you cancelled monday yet?
Thanks all. It's reassuring to have my instincts confirmed.
Irritatingly one of the things he frequently says to me is 'I'm so proud to have you as my friend'. But publicly he shows no pride whatsoever. The opposite I'd say if anything.
From now on I am not going to pander to any of his oddness and will answer messages in a strictly polite way.
I wouldn't bother replying to his messages, he's too much of a tit to have even as a friend.
Sounds like he likes you stroking his ego. I'd be wondering who else he's playing these silly games with. If not then I still couldn't be arsed. He sounds like hard work.
Yes I'll have to cancel Monday.
Part of me wants to really give him a bit of a reality check about the crapness of his behaviour because last night I felt quite humiliated and then confused by the intensity of the messaging afterwards. It makes me feel very manipulated and I want to point that out to him.
If we have any real friendship I feel I should be able to point it out. On the other hand if he's just been manipulating me all along, I don't want to give him the ego boost of a reaction. But somehow I feel I need to assert myself as I am quite angry - I've invested quite a lot of time and effort in this 'friendship' or whatever it is.
Is this guy a twunt? Yes.
Next question.
Yes I would say something to him. Take your power back.
Cut him off with no explanation. He doesn't deserve any more of your time.
Yes he's a twunt but you seem to be one too for stringing him along.
He has told you he wants a sexual relationship (physical closeness or whatever twee thing you said) and I think you are being unkind to continue to behave like a couple when you do not feel the same.
You do not have a platonic relationship. If you did then I would have a different opinion.
It sounds like he hasn't got a clue how to "keep it on the down low" without being a twunt.
So he is being a twunt yes.
Hmmm and also sounds like a total waste if your time.
"I'm so proud to have you as my friend" <---- yuck.
Actually I'd be inclined to believe that's him saying "I hope you're grateful that I've chosen you to be my "special" friend and I epect you to be sooo grateful you'll understand and not question if I blank you now and then"

Looking for 25 mpg from my T-bucket
A little background here to start . I had a new '78 K10 part-time 4wd with a 350 and 2.76 gears that I tuned the Q-jet and got 22mpg 55 mph in a 4500 lb truck . Also had a new '75 Nova SS with a 350 and standard trans that I put a Q-jet and manifold from a 275 hp 327 on along with headers , and got 24 mpg at 55 mph . So am I being unrealistic to think that I can replace my 1405 Edelbrock with a Q-jet and with experimentation with jets and metering rods get 25 mpg with my T-bucket that turns 2200 rpm at 55 mph and only weighs 1800 lbs ? It has a 8004 Edelbrock intake which is made for a Q-jet and I am using a Mr Gasket adapter under the 1405 . The engine is stock 1974 350 other than being .030 over and has flat-top pistons . BTW . I drive my bucket a lot and spend over $40.00 a week on gas .

I have a T-Bucket with a 350/TH350, 3.73 gears. Gets about 15-16 mpg now. The change that resulted in a significant increase in mileage was to move the vacuum advance to full-time vacuum. Regardless of the all the controversy about full-time vs ported vacuum especially on this forum, this was a winner when it came to economy - engine seems to run cooler as well.
I was running a Edel 1406 with an Air Gap manifold and have recently replaced that with an 1806 (did not do that for economy reasons). Although buckets are a disaster aerodynamically, I would think with 2.73 gears and an overdrive trans you could pretty easily get 25 mpg. |
A Q-jet run on the primaries is a small 2-bbl carb w/excellent signal to the boosters. It will get better mileage (all else being equal) to an aftermarket performance calibrated carb. But the thing is- you have to stay out of the secondary as much as possible.
There are adjustments that can be done to delay the secondaries coming in, and to the amount the secondaries are allowed to open to help in that regard. |
Long version reply . I bought a calibration kit for the Edebrock and experimented with different springs , jets , metering rods until I've got it running as lean as it will with this carb without getting flat spots . As a side note I had (way back in '74) a '72 rally Nova with 350 2 bbl that I switched out for a 4 bbl . A friend heard I had done that and bought my 2bbl and manifold because he wanted to get better mileage from his Q-jet carbureted 327 . I sold it to him with the warning that he would be disappointed . I saw him a few weeks later and he had put the Q-jet back on because his mileage was worse with the 2bbl. He couldn't say I didn't warn him before I took his $20.00. So at any rate , it looks like cobalt answered my question . Any way I think he did . If I understand him correctly , because of the tiny primary bores of the Q-jet I should be able to calibrate a Q-jet to get better mileage than I can get out of the 1405 . Please correct me if I'm wrong Cobalt327 . 'Cause I don't want to go through the time and expense of finding , rebuilding and installing a Q-jet if I can't expect at leat another 2 mpg . I use my cruise control ALOT on the boulevard . As I said . I burn about $40.00 worth of gas a week . That's a good prime rib dinner for the wife and I .
A pale plug is a sign of being lean. You can try a wideband O2 sensor for tuning and maybe pick up .5 mpg. You probably need to come to terms with driving a T-bucket with an sbc and not a prius. It sounds like your getting rather good mileage already. A "magic carb" doesn't exist. If it is that important you need to look at a different drivetrain/car.
If you really want mileage I would look into a complete running TPI or LT1 engine. A cam swap rarely makes a significant mileage improvement. Usually the more fun you have the worse the mileage gets.
If you have more time than money get a electric grinder and some cartridge rolls. Do a rering on your engine and clean up all of the casting. I know a guy that cleaned up every little nook ad cranny. It won't make a huge difference but it helps and it gives you something to do. Anoyher thought is cosmetics, paint and upholstery. Another idea is to watch ebay or craigslist for some old hot rod parts you can restore and put on your ride- it always looks better when its rebuilt and not bought new.

This information comes from the biographical file for pilot Robert A. Wolf, CW-811000-01, reviewed by me in the archives of the National Air & Space Museum (NASM), Washington, DC.
Your copy of the Davis-Monthan Airfield Register with all the pilots' signatures and helpful cross-references to pilots and airplanes is available here.
This is a case of going with what you have. The Register entry for this pilot simply says "Bob Wolf". There is only one Robert A. Wolf in the biographical files at the NASM (dossier number cited, left sidebar). Given that his might be called a common name, our "Bob Wolf" may not be NASM's "Robert A. Wolf". Hopefully someone will be able to review this page and give us a "yay" or "nay" as to the identity of our pilot (right sidebar).
The NASM information on Robert A. Wolf is sparse, consisting only of an entry for the Directory of Aeronautical Engineering that was published January 1, 1943. According to the entry, Wolf was born in Appleton, WI, September 4, 1907.
He attended Lawrence College from 1926-1928, the University of Michigan from 1928-1932 (B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering and M.S. in 1932). He went to work immediately for Consolidated Aircraft Corp., the parent company of which was founded by Register pilot Reuben Fleet. Wolf was put to work on stress analysis and structural research.
In 1935 he moved to the Bell Aircraft Corp. as and engineer in control systems design. He worked for Bell at least until 1943, the date where the NASM record ends. He moved through the ranks from group leader and section chief to design engineer and Chief Research Engineer. This last assignment involved new aircraft development for Bell, which may have included jet technology. He was a member of the "A.F.I.Ae.S." (does anyone KNOW what that abbreviation means?). That's all I have. If you know better than I do, please use the link in the right sidebar to contact me.
Here is how the puzzle is unraveling. On 3/17/08 I was contacted by Robert A. (Alban) Wolf's niece. She corroborates the information above. However, to her knowledge, her uncle was not a certificated pilot. Further, her examination of his signature in the Register fails to compare favorably with a known signature of her uncle.
Regardless, our pilot Bob Wolf arrived at Tucson Wednesday, September 6, 1933 at 8:15 AM. He was solo in NC11440, a Waco QCF-2. He was westbound, arriving from El Paso, TX headed for his home base of Los Angeles, CA. His airplane was, at the time, owned by Mid-South Airways, Inc. Memphis, TN. There is no indication in the Register of the purpose of this flight.
Dossier 2.1.179
I'm interested in knowing if anyone has a positive identification of Register pilot "Bob Wolf".
Likewise, I'm looking for photographs of pilot Wolf to include on this page. If you have one or more you'd like to share, please use this FORM to contact me.

Critique from out-of-church Scientologists overturned (page 1, index page)
The critique received from out-of-church Scientologists provided for an interesting opportunity mapping the position of those Scientologists that are active outside the reign of the Church of Scientology.
Anyway I give here a selection of some of the reactions I got from time to time. I have divided them up in 2 categories, which are sequences and situations. The category sequences sum up brief selections extracted from discussions I have had. The category situations more particularly address a situation.
Next during these early 80's we see a rapid establishment of Scientology groups formed by the people that had left the Church of Scientology or that were kicked out. It is at this time that we see the denominations Free Zone and Ron's org coming into being. Free Zone was coined by Bill Robertson in 1982 representing exactly that, a free zone for Scientologists not welcome anymore in the Church of Scientology. His own group shortly after adopted the name Ron's org. Then we have David Mayo creating his Church of the New Civilization later adopting the name Advance Ability Center (AAC). Many groups were popping up all over. And they all adopted the Bridge that had come about during 1978-82, the so-called David Mayo Bridge. (more info here, separate window)
They do however perceive changes in the technology, but they date them much later in time. Some persons talk about the definition of a floating needle that had been altered in 1996, when we had already a serious change in that definition dating to 1978. (more info here, separate window) Another is the introduction of the excessive drilling introduced in 1996 that is know as the Golden Age of Tech (GAT). (see here, separate window) But here we have already arrived in the 2nd half of the 90's which is already so much later in time.
There would be blind spots present in this tale though. Somehow people have a closed eye regarding that both the Church of Scientology and the various Free Zone groups virtually are offering and are delivering a same Bridge. A Bridge that came about when David Mayo was the top technical terminal posted as the Snr C/S Int (1978-82). In 1983 they then kicked him out, painted him up as really evil dude, but strangely enough the Church of Scientology maintained and adopted his Bridge! Which is all rather swell, wouldn't you think?
These Free Zoners or Independent Scientologists as they generally may call themselves, do commonly persist in telling you that they deliver unaltered tech, and are then pointing a finger at the Church of Scientology saying that they do not deliver unaltered tech. Well, for crying out loud! It is virtually the same Bridge that is being had at both these places! That the Free Zone delivers the original OT Levels IV-VII besides the New OT IV-VII levels, whereas the Church of Scientology had abandoned them silently in March 1982 (see here, separate window), really doesn't put much weight in the balance of scales. It is the early Bridge that is the crucial part, and this had been disrupted in the Jul 1978-Dec 81 interim.
Then there is an additional problem that arises with some established Free Zone groups as they actively deny people membership in their group if they choose to not embrace that later technology whole-heartedly. The argument that is being forwarded to the applicant is then that they do not have the full array of tools of the technology. Hmm, wasn't it completed in 1970?
So, are you getting the results that you are supposed to have per the original Bridge, or are you just getting a fraction of it? That is the question one will have to ask oneself, well, the preclear that is. The December 1970 Grade Chart is the very last to list the full end phenomena of 'Ability Gained' and 'Inability Lost', that is listing even 3 flows for the Grades. So, where are you (as a preclear) at? See for yourself here (separate window).
Critique received from out-of-church Scientologists
At such time that I had finished and released my page "Overview of Tech changes during 1978-82 vs A lost Bridge", this was in August 2010. I send out a mass email carrying the following text:
"It may disturb some people as it will shake around some long since established stable datums, it thus may make them wonder a bit, or it may even acknowledge some. I fear however that for a certain majority it will present a reality that is not directly welcomed with open arms. Responses are requested, you may throw at me anything as you feel like, corrections, criticisms, validations, your displeasements, whatever, I will try to turn it into something useful. But let the responses be constructive and to the point!"
And this I can say is indeed what I got, although very few were that harsh. The bulk of responses that I got were predominantly rather appreciative. But one particular response, coming from a rather high classed auditor, was crude to say the least.
Now, this one auditor wrote to me:
"Thank you for forwarding this to me. It became obvious to me that you need to Word \clear and \False Data strip a number of relevant issues, as a number of your statements are PATENTLY FALSE and you seem to have already made your position BEFORE you wrote your essay and therefore try to fit any argument to fit your already preconceived idea. There are numerous places where you say that 'it is the only explanation' and a number of time you assume things that are actually incorrect most probably because of your MUs and seeking to prove your pre-assumed explanations. You probably wont like me stating this, but I stopped counting at 50, when I counted the number of outpoints in your essay and I was barely past the half-way mark. I dont have time to go over the numerous errors and alterations, but per LRH, you should WC and/or FDS the relevant issues, and probably find them on your own." MUs = misunderstoods; WC = word clear; FDS = false data stripping
Regularly I check the Internet for instances in where my name (or Wise Old Goat) is mentioned, or places where my website is linked from. During one of these errands I came across this blog. The blog itself was started on 8 Apr 2012 in where an Introduction reveals: "I'm a Scientologist and have been for almost 36 years. I've been staff three times and currently live in the shadow of Flag.". The focus here is on the sayings of this blog owner. He had put out a list with evaluations of websites/blogs including mine, and I stumbled over that message (and thus the blog) in October 2012. There was a discussion at the end of that blog entry in where I participated (sequence 1-3), then there was that addition from a later date of that evaluation of my website, and a very brief email exchange ensuing.
Evaluation of the 'Wise Old Goat' website
On 27 Aug 2012 a message was posted that offered "a list of some of the blogs and sites in the Independent Field, and my evaluation of them. 'My evaluation' is my opinions. You may or may not agree with my opinions, but hopefully this will serve as a handy guide for those who wish to pursue the continuing stories of the Church of Scientology and the Independent Field.".
I did end my last message with: "I guess your position is rather clear then... No use to further this communication.". And he respected that. But I find this individual a rather unpleasant and exceedingly inconsequent individual. And of course, he is all about opinion. He is unable to even address or query a single one of "a great many of the conclusions" that I apparently "draw".
Turndown of my recommendation for sites to include on this person's blog
(sequence 1) 'Standard Tech' and 'Keeping Scientology Working' (KSW)
Blog discussions Sept-Nov 2012.
Several topics are being touched now, for clarity reasons I selected the sections relating to some of these topics and placed them in the sequences here below.
(sequence 2) About 'LRH ED 117 Int': Dianetics and Scientology "COMPLETE" or not?
(sequence 3) About NOT's, and; Looking or listening?
The position of this blog owner
It started of rather nicely with this initial appreciation for the seriousness of my Scientology pages. In that blog entry about my website he mentions up to 4 times the word "research", the last time he even says "quite thorough research". This he posted on 27 Aug 2012. Research according to World Book Dictionary means "a careful hunting for facts or truth about a subject, inquiry; investigation".
Of course it turns also rather contradictorily with that later addition to that evaluation (Jan-Mar 2014). It went from "quite thorough research" to "virtual microscope" in the same evaluation. You can't have it both ways, you know.
On 7 Apr 2014 he then writes to me: "I disagree with a great many of the conclusions you draw. Thus I warn potential visitors to your blog that they should be prepared to doubt your conclusions, regardless of how appealing the 'evidence' may be.". Does it still all make sense to you?
One should probably take this blog owner's gentle advice "Take with a grain of salt. Or a full shaker.", but apply it instead on the person uttering these very words. I wish him the best of luck with his continued use of his very own "virtual microscope" !
alter-is: 1. A composite word meaning the action of altering or changing the reality of something. Is-ness means the way it is. When something sees it differently he is doing an alter-is; in other words, is altering the way it is. (LRH Def. Notes) 2. To introduce a change and therefore time and persistence in an as-is-ness to obtain persistency. An introduction of an alter-is is therefore the addition of a lie to the real which causes it to persist and not to blow or as-is. (HCOB 11 May 65) C/S: 'Case/Supervisor'. 1. That person in a Scientology Church who gives instructions regarding, and supervises the auditing of preclears. The abbreviation C/S can refer to the Case Supervisor or to the written instructions of a case supervisor depending on context. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) 2. The C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases. The C/S is the auditor's "handler." He tells the auditor what to do, corrects his tech, keeps the lines straight and keeps the auditor calm and willing and winning. The C/S is the pc's case director. His actions are done for the pc. (Dianetics Today, Bk. 3, p. 545) entheta: Means enturbulated theta (thought or life); especially refers to communications, which, based on lies and confusions, are slanderous, choppy or destructive in an attempt to overwhelm or suppress a person or group. (Scientology Abridged Dictionary) Free Zone: Free Zone generally is regarded being those groups (as in plural) that practice Scientology outside of the control of the official Church of Scientology. Various of these groups may have their personal approach about how to use the Scientology technology. See also my note here (separate window). HCOB: 'Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin'. Color flash–red ink on white paper. Written by LRH only , but only so starting from January 1974. These are the technical issue line. All data for auditing and courses is contained in HCOBs. For more information go here (separate window). HCO PL: 'Hubbard Communication Office Policy Letter'. Color flash–green ink on white paper. Written by LRH only, but only so starting from January 1974. These are the organizational and administrative issue line. For more information go here (separate window). LRH: An usual abbreviation for 'L. Ron Hubbard'. Mis-U (MU, MU's): 'Miss Understood'. Refers to an incorrectly understood word (or words). NED: 'New Era Dianetics'. Offcially released to the public on 30 July 1978 (ref.: 'The Auditor 151 (US edition)', Sept 78). It replaced and abolished the previous in use Standard Dianetics (St Dn). PAB: 'Professional Auditors Bulletin'. Scientology periodical (monthly) send to all members to keep auditors informed about the latest discoveries concerning processing procedures and other. pc(s): Short for 'preclear(s)'. See at that entry in vocabulary. preclear (pc): 1. A person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life. (The Phoenix Lectures, p. 20) 2. A spiritual being who is now on the road to becoming Clear, hence preclear. (HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. One who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 62) R3R: 'Routine 3 Revised'. R3R is the basic Standard Dianetics (St Dn) auditing routine. R3RA: 'Routine 3 Re-revised'. R3RA is the basic New Era Dianetics (NED) auditing routine. RTC: 'Religious Technology Center'. The highest echelon within the Church of Scientology. squirrel: Going off into weird practices or altering Scientology. (HCO PL 7 Feb 65, Keeping Scientology Working)

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 26 - Verse 38
Verse 38. My soul is exceeding sorrowful. His human nature-his soul- -was much and deeply affected and pressed down.
Even unto death. This denotes extreme sorrow and agony. The sufferings of death are the greatest of which we have any knowledge; they are the most feared and dreaded by man; and those sufferings are, therefore, put for extreme and indescribable anguish. The meaning may be thus expressed: My sorrows are so great, that under their burden I am ready to die; such is the anxiety of mind, that I seem to bear the pains of death!
Tarry ye here, and watch with me. The word rendered watch, means, literally, to abstain from sleep; then to be vigilant—to guard against danger. Here it seems to mean, to sympathize with him; to unite with him in seeking Divine support; and to prepare themselves for approaching dangers.
{h} "My soul" Ps 116:3; Is 53:3,10; Joh 12:27

You're suggesting that if there is no problem with the syntax upon adding the value of one attribute to another attribute then it should be OK. I'm a bit concerned about doing this because this requires throwing away the normalized value if present, then normalizing the value again with the new attributeType of the target attribute the value is being added to. Syntax checks cost more than simple attribute type checks in general. Also most of the time transfers of a value from one attribute to another will occur over the same attributeType. I'm beginning to start to favor keeping the attributeType reference in the value again. I think we need to give it more time before we make the final call on the direction we should take here if we cannot agree. > In any case, I had this pb in mind and this was why I asked if we > should check the syntax when adding a value ... For the > ServerAttribute, I think that it's the developper responsability to > assume this check. I should have read further. I'm really now favoring keeping this attributeType reference in the value rather than going with this approach because of the consequences. I think it will pay off in the end for us. Alex | |

Top 10 Lessons Learned
My wife, Christy, had a stroke in 2005 at the age of 31. When asked to write a piece for the 'Life After Stroke' newsletter describing my 'top 10 lessons learned' as a caregiver, I was stumped. How does one distill lessons learned from a change that dramatic – and in only ten bullets? So after giving it some time and thought … here are my eleven lessons.
- 10. I first learned that I would not wish this on my worst enemy!
- 9. I then learned more about brain anatomy and human physiology in the first few days post-stroke than in all my years in undergraduate science lectures.
- 8. I learned that, unlike what the medical community often espouses, recovery continues long after the first six months post-stroke.
- 7. I continue to learn how to accept help when it is offered and to ask for it when I need it.
- 6. I have learned the importance of remembering to take time for myself – an exhausted caregiver is no help to anyone.
- 5. I have learned that there is always a more inspiring 'human-spirit-overcoming-adversity' story than
- your own.
- 4. I have learned to enjoy the moment (aka "Plan B… what's that?").
- 3. I have learned that a sense of humour helps to lighten the often ridiculously difficult load (sub-lesson: that stroke related 'dark' humour is hilarious)!
- 2. I have learned that a positive attitude is a choice. I have also learned that making that choice every day makes all the difference.
- 1. I have learned that it is important to embrace your new life – who knew that a life-altering disaster could be so uplifting and enlightening?
Looking back on it, having somebody there to teach these lessons rather than stumble into them as I tried to find my new footing as a caregiver would have been a big help. The eleventh lesson I'm now learning is that helping newly initiated caregivers get through the early stages of recovery is part of my own healing process.

1984: George Orwell's road to dystopia
- 8 February 2013
- From the section Magazine
A decade of political chaos shaped George Orwell's vision of a totalitarian future, writes David Aaronovitch.
I was brought up in a house full of books, none of them by George Orwell.
Simone de Beauvoir was there, as was Sartre and Aldous Huxley and even Lenin. The last is actually a clue as to the absence of the first.
My parents were Communists. To them Orwell was on the other side of politics - someone whose principal writings were hostile to them and what they wanted to achieve.
This suspicious animosity had lasted beyond the death of Orwell and the demise of Stalin, and into the period when British Communists, by and large, now held the same view of the Soviet Union under Uncle Joe that Orwell had held and that had motivated him to write both Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Their problem was, I now think, made acute by the way in which these two great books - and Nineteen Eighty-Four in particular - had become major weapons in the ideological war between left and right.
This use of Nineteen Eighty-Four, and its contradiction to Orwell's own long-stated support for some kind of socialism, needed explaining.
How had it come about that the targets in Nineteen Eighty-Four were English socialists and their nightmare totalitarian state? After all, Orwell was in charge of naming his own inventions and could have easily decided on names and characteristics that were friendlier to the political tendencies that he claimed to favour.
For years the question of Orwell's intentions in Nineteen Eighty-Four has caused great debate.
With a few exceptions on the far left, every political tendency has wanted to claim him. So there has been a well-established and heartfelt desire on the more moderate left to claim that Orwell was indeed a genuine socialist whose warning was aimed at totalitarianism in general, not at the left per se.
The right, of course, have had the easier task of suggesting that Orwell was writing about what he appeared to be writing about. It seems to me that the right probably has the better argument.
Nineteen Eighty-Four was published in 1949, but Orwell was first set on the road to it at least 12 years earlier when he was fighting Franco's insurgents in Spain as a member of a left-wing, but non-Stalinist militia, the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification (POUM).
Orwell had gone to Spain to fight Francoist fascism, but found himself face-to-face with another form of totalitarianism. The pro-Stalin communist forces in Spain turned on the POUM, branding them Trotskyist traitors.
Back home no one wanted to know about his experiences. Even non-communist left-wingers, including the publisher Victor Gollancz and the New Statesman editor Kingsley Martin, were reluctant to publish his accounts of what had happened, for fear of harming the overall cause of anti-fascism.
Orwell's opposition to totalitarianism, of left and right alike, was toughened up by his association with the novelist Arthur Koestler, a communist who had been imprisoned under threat of execution by the fascists in Spain.
Koestler later escaped to England where he published his novel, Darkness at Noon, in 1940.
This bleak story of an old Bolshevik who confesses to crimes he has not committed and is shot by the Soviet authorities, was to have a profound influence on Orwell.
His many book reviews also reveal much about his political influences, but one name, James Burnham, stands out.
An ex-communist, Burnham's 1941 book, The Managerial Revolution, filled Orwell with both horror and fascination.
In the book, he found two of the crucial elements of his novel: a world ruled by three super-states, and the idea that the overlords of the future would not be demagogues or democrats, but managers and bureaucrats.
Two events were to bring Burnham's dark prophecy to some kind of fruition. First, in 1943, at the Tehran Conference, Marshal Stalin, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met to discuss the world after the war.
Orwell saw the beginnings of a Burnham-style carve-up of the globe into superpowers and told friends that this was what initially set him going on the novel.
Less than two years later, the Americans dropped atom bombs on Japan. In an essay for Tribune magazine called You and the Atomic Bomb, Orwell argued that the A-Bomb threatened to bring into being Burnham's world of super states governed by totalitarian hierarchies of managers.
It's often missed that Nineteen Eighty-Four is set a few decades after an atomic war. The managers administering the book's three super states, Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, have tacitly agreed not to try to destroy each other but to continue forever in a kind of cold war.
Indeed, it was Orwell who coined the phrase "cold war" in that 1945 essay.
In his view of things, totalitarianism was not merely a theoretical threat from a fictional future. The urgency of Nineteen Eighty-Four, and of much of Orwell's wartime and post-war writing, springs clearly from his sense that totalitarianism was already proving dangerously attractive to many on the left, not least intellectuals..
But what I think we can see is that, with fascist totalitarianism utterly defeated in WWII, Orwell found himself one of the relatively few people prepared to agitate against the left-totalitarianism of our erstwhile ally, the Soviet Union.
When Animal Farm was published, and when Nineteen Eighty-Four was being conceptualised and then written, Orwell's overwhelming preoccupation was to warn against Stalinism and its onward march.
We may speculate what Orwell might have thought had he lived to see Stalin dead, Joe McCarthy in his pomp, to have witnessed the Khrushchev speech denouncing Stalin to the 20th Party Congress in 1956, decolonisation, or a succession of Conservative governments led by men like Eden, whom Orwell appeared to despise.
Perhaps a new book would have been written to give succour to the real socialists of the world.
And maybe my parents would have allowed that one on to their shelves, somewhere between Alex Comfort and Virginia Woolf.

- Analysis about the value of the appraisal interview
Conventional appraisal interviews have a certain effectiveness that has been recognized previously. But they also have been criticized for many reasons by managers, employees and theories. Let us have a look at the reasons why their effectiveness is not totally satisfying. The value of the appraisal interview is questionable due to the huge difficulty to measure the value of any human being. An organization's objectives are in a state of conflict with the worthiness and the dignity of every human being.

Posted June 23, 2013 · Report post You can take them out of the package. It's not a issue at all. As a matter of fact I always took mine out right when I picked up my script. Taking those pills out every morning started my day off badly. Those packages are so frustrating to open its insane.

The judgments are replete with the findings of dishonesty and mala fides against Major General Ntlemeza. These were judicial pronouncements. They therefore constitute direct evidence that Major General Ntlemeza lacks the requisite honesty, integrity and conscientiousness to occupy the position of any public office, not to mention an office as more important as that of the National Head of the DPCI, where independence, honesty and integrity are paramount to qualities. Currently no appeal lies against the findings of dishonesty and impropriety made by the Court in the judgments. Accordingly, such serious findings of fact in relation to Major General Ntlemeza, which go directly to Major General Ntlemeza's trustworthiness, his honesty and integrity, are definitive. Until such findings are appealed against successfully they shall remain as a lapidary against Lieutenant General Ntlemeza.
After the shotgun marriage between the Democratic Alliance (DA) and Agang ended in tears this week, it emerged that the main sticking point between the DA and Mamphela Ramphele was whether Ramphele would remain the leader of Agang while serving as the DA's "presidential candidate". This disagreement raises several interesting constitutional points about our system of representative democracy.
In a democracy like ours in which members of the National Assembly (NA) are elected in terms of a pure proportional representation electoral system and in which the head of the executive is not directly elected by the population, it is impossible to fulfil your political ambitions without belonging to (and becoming an influential member of) a political party.
The pure proportional representation electoral system is aimed at ensuring full participation of large and small parties, as well as diverse identity groups and constituencies, in the work of the legislature.
It prevents gerrymandering – the drawing of constituency boundaries with the aim of unfairly advancing one political party above others – and limits the corruptive influence of special interest money on individual MPs. (Of course, the system does not limit the corruptive influence of private sector money on the political parties and their policies.)
The system may also lead to forced co-operation between political parties when none of the parties are able to secure an outright majority – which regularly happens where parties gain seats in direct proportion to their electoral support – forcing coalitions to govern the country.
In this system, party leaders usually retain decisive control over their MPs because MPs can only be elected and re-elected to the NA if they can manage to secure spots high enough up on their party's candidate's list, the composition over which the party leaders of almost all parties retain a final veto power.
This is in stark contrast with the first-past-the-post electoral systems in which the country is divided into separate geographical constituencies and the candidate who obtained the largest number of votes in the constituency (whether this is 20% or 90%) is sent to Parliament.
The latter system is aimed at ensuring stable governments by producing artificial majorities for the winning party (who may or may not have received the largest number of votes and often receive as little as 35% of the total vote). It is also supposed to strengthen the link between MPs and voters as relatively informed voters would at least be aware who is representing them in the NA.
In our system we vote for a political party by making a cross on the ballot paper next to the picture of the leader of the party of our choice. Despite the appearance of the picture of the leader of the party on the ballot, formally we do not vote for the leader of the party or for any specific candidate, but for the party as a whole and for its entire candidate's list.
Formally the voters therefore do not vote for "presidential candidates" at all as the President is not elected by the voters but by the members of the NA. (In effect the President is elected by the few thousand delegates who attend the majority party's elective conference.)
In theory, voters would look at the candidate's lists of various parties, the quality of their leaders, as well as the policies of the parties, and will then choose the party that best represents their aspirations, world view and ideological commitments. In practice a more complex set of factors probably influence voter choices (including perceptions about the leader of a political party).
You can only be elected to the NA or to provincial legislatures if you appear high enough up on the candidate's list of a party to enable you to be elected. You can never be elected to the NA as an individual – only as a member of a political party representing the values and interests of that party of whom you are a member.
Section 47(3)(c) of the Constitution makes clear that you can only remain a member of the NA if you remain a member of the political party who nominated you and from whose list you became a member of the NA. You can therefore not remain a member of one political party and then go to the NA via another political party by having your name placed on that other political party's candidate list. Your placement on the candidate's list of the party you are not a member of would be invalid and you would be automatically be disqualified from taking up your seat in the NA.
This means that it is impossible to be elected to the NA without being a member of a political party and without being placed sufficiently high up on your party's candidate's list. An individual without an affiliation to a political party can never be elected to the NA. As we shall see, such an individual could also never become President.
To prevent "floor-crossing" the constitutions of all political parties contain a clause which states that you automatically lose your membership of the party (and hence your seat in the National Assembly) if you become a member of another political party.
This means that it was never going to be possible for Mamphela Ramphele to appear on the DA's candidate's list while remaining a member of Agang. The constitutions of both parties and the Constitution of the country makes this "unique solution" impossible.
However, if you are elected to the NA as the member of one political party (say Agang), this does not mean that another political party (say, the DA) cannot support your nomination for President of the country.
Section 86 of the Constitution states that the elected members of the NA must elect a President from among its members at its first sitting after an election, and whenever necessary to fill a vacancy. This means you cannot be elected President by the NA if you have not been high enough up on the candidates list of the party you are a member of to be elected to the NA. Once elected President of the country, you immediately cease being a member of the NA.
In practice, the leader of the party who obtained more than 50% of seats in the NA will be elected as President. However when no party manages to obtain at least 50% of seats in the NA, parties will have to negotiate to form a coalition government, which will include negotiations about who the parties of the coalition will elect as President.
For example, if, say, the ANC received 45% of the vote nationally and the Economic Freedom Fighters 10%, they could form a coalition government. But if they do, they will have to decide whether they will elect Jacob Zuma, Julius Malema or anyone else as president. If the coalition disintegrates, the EFF (along with all other opposition parties) could then support a vote of no confidence in the president, which would bring the government to a fall.
If Mamphela Ramphele is elected to the NA as an Agang member on the Agang candidate's list, then she can be nominated as one of the candidates for president by fellow members of the NA. The DA – or any other party – may, at that stage, decide to support her nomination and she would then, in practice, become the DA"s "presidential candidate". But as the ANC will almost certainly obtain more than 50% of seats in the NA, this will be a purely symbolic nomination with no real effect.
Being elected to the NA on a political party list is also important for another reason. The president must appoint the Deputy President and all but two of his or her cabinet members from among the members of the NA.
You can therefore not become deputy president if you have not been elected on a political party ticket to the NA. You can be appointed as a cabinet minister without having been elected as a member of the NA, but there are only two spots in the cabinet for such posts.
All this demonstrates that unless you happen to impress the president of the day to the extent that he or she appoints you to the cabinet as one of two non-NA members, the only way you can ever play a role in the NA or in the executive is by becoming an important and trusted person within a political party.
