Don't feel bad. Two days ago I had finished a 3 hour effort to describe what I saw going on with housing in the Disney area and its relationship to the cheap labor that was brought in. I went to attach the satellite photos of the huge neighborhoods surrounding Universal and Sea World as well. It was a reply to something Lakey had posted...but poof. O well. If ya can't say nuthin nice...don't say it at all.

Hat, when you or Sweetness or anyone else here are writing up something to post that you don't want to lose, use Notepad. When you are done writing it up, copy and paste it into your ESMB Reply. That way you won't lose all that work and time spent writing it. I finally learned to do that after losing several postings that took me a couple of hours to write.

Excellent point. Hubbard at first merely de-eemphasized the body, then started taking pot shots at it and for the later part of his life he specialized in degrading it and then not-ising it. He had tremendous overts against his own body as well as those of his staffs, in particular Sea Org Members.

How could a very wealthy man allow his teeth to be all black and decayed in 1968 when he gave that videotaped interview to the BBC reporter on the Apollo? That was bad, but was child's play compared to the rigors which he put his body into in subsequent years.

From his early 60's on, he body was wracked with strokes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, rotten teeth, etc. Why is this considered so OT. It is'nt that he was so elevated as a being that his body was of only very minor concern to him. That is what we active Scientologists were led to believe and I totally bought into it at that time.

My friend Edey, who will turn 60 next week has an extremely healthy body, still very youthful, toned and sexy. She eats Vegan and drinks Gallons of alkaline and ionized water. I watch her stretch and bend forward and put her palms on the floor and then stretch lower where she can almost lay her elbows through wrists flat on the floor with her knees locked straight.

Today's 60 year old woman - my friend Edey

I am learning more about the body at this point in my life. It is an amazing mechanism and piece of machinery. I am nearly 71 and don't have any aches and pains of aging and have 20/20 vision, read without glasses and have perfect and acute hearing as well as the same reflexes I had when I was 35.

One's body is no end all to survive for but it can be our friend and provide many years, perhaps decades more of healthy vibrant livingness to us then what is agreed on by our society. You know, a person gains wisdom as he or she goes through life. Let's say someone attains great wisdom at 60 and dies at 65 and another person attains great wisdom at 60 and dies at 100. Why not put your wisdom to use and enjoy it for 40 years instead of 5 years?

Why not make an effort to take care of one's body. Since our memories tend to be wiped out and our goals reset after body death, it seems to me that it makes sense to maximize one's healty and useful years by being respectful of his own body. LRH saw things differently and look what it got him.

A friend of mine, working at Ford Aerospace, with two Masters degrees (EE and Physics) wondered about some of the secretaries that were employed by the company, they got paid better than regular admin staff, and never had to come in to the office. They stayed at home and entertained visiting military officials.

Yeah, right..."secretaries". :eyeroll:

Hush, Nozzie, you troublemaker! :p

Thank you Foti, that is very good advice. I will see if this computer has notebook. :)

Ted, that cute couple needs to move to So Cal and bring their little red wagon with them! I'm surprised they built it in less than a year. Looks like they really are enjoying themselves. Talk about re-living your childhood! :D :happydance: What a fun project...they will make friends wherever they go!

And now, a message from your Genetic Entity...

O.K., speaking of our bodies, this article just posted in chat:

"Body organs can send status updates to your cellphone

08:00 08 October 2010 by Duncan Graham-Rowe

For cardiac patients such as myself, too much excitement can be a shocking experience. If my heart rate gets too high the implanted defibrillator in my chest can think I'm having a heart attack and give me a friendly remedial shock. But such nasty surprises could soon become less of a concern for people like me – by giving our hearts their very own IP addresses.

Dutch research organisation IMEC, based in Eindhoven, this week demonstrated a new type of wireless body area network (BAN). Dubbed the Human++ BAN platform, the system converts IMEC's ultra-low-power electrocardiogram sensors into wireless nodes in a short-range network, transmitting physiological data to a hub – the patient's cellphone. From there, the readings can be forwarded to doctors via a Wi-Fi or 3G connection. They can also be displayed on the phone or sound an alarm when things are about to go wrong, giving patients like me a chance to try to slow our heart rates and avoid an unnecessary shock.

Julien Penders, who developed the system, says it can also work with other low-power medical sensors, such as electroencephalograms (EEGs) to monitor neurological conditions or electromyograms to detect neuromuscular diseases. Besides helping those already diagnosed with chronic conditions, BANs could be used by people at risk of developing medical problems – the so-called "worried well" – or by fitness enthusiasts and athletes who want to keep tabs on their physiological processes during training.

Tied to an Android
IMEC's technology is not the first BAN, but integrates better than earlier versions with the gadgets that many people carry around with them. IMEC has created a dongle that plugs into the standard SD memory card interface of a cellphone to stream data from the sensors in real time and allow the phone to reconfigure the sampling frequency of sensors on the fly. The associated software runs on Google's Android cellphone operating system.

However, IMEC has eschewed common short-range wireless standards such as Bluetooth in favour of the so-called nRF24L01+ radio designed by Nordic Semiconductor in Oslo, Norway. "The problem with Bluetooth is that it will increase the power consumption on the sensor side," says Penders. Using the Nordic system, IMEC's sensors can run continuously, transmitting every 100 milliseconds, for up to seven days between recharges – a Bluetooth system would barely last a day, Penders says.

In the current design, the ECG electrodes are connected to a small necklace that contains the transmitter and battery. The next step will be to use an ultra-low-power radio transmitter, still in development at IMEC, to improve the stamina and portability of the sensors.

With around 18 million people in the UK living with chronic disease, "telehealth" monitoring like this is the way things are going, says Mike Knapton, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation. Devices already exist that allow people with pacemakers and defibrillators to send telemetry from their implants via a landline to doctors. But using mobile phones would be the natural next step, he says.

Penders presented the work at the Wireless Health Conference in San Diego, California, this week."

It doesn't have to be Notebook. Anywhere in the computer where you can create a document and then copy and paste it elsewhere works.

I guess every culture has had its geishas. The Greeks had some class of women known as the Hateari or somethin like that.
Correct me if I'm wrong Mark:blush:

I'm not sure why secretaries is in quotes but it triggered a memory of a PL in which the great LRH pointed out that the derivation of the word secretary was originally, a confidant, or one entrusted with secrets. He did so with great fanfare, suggesting that this was some sort of profound observation as I recall.

The old boy must have had a cognition as they say. :omg:
