On my way back from Boston, I shoot a pic of an old school police cruiser which was leading the charge of 7 or 8 bears. I found this site online that goes through the history of old NYPD cruisers and academies:
The “bible” of Scientology is a dull read
L. Ron Hubbard’s “Dianetics” is a fantastically dull, terribly written, crackpot rant — it’s also the founding text of Scientology. So, what does it actually say? (The majority of this post was taken from Salon.com post by Laura Miller – link here)
“In a way, it’s impressive. Hubbard not only managed to get one of these books published, it actually became a bestseller and the founding text for Scientology. It’s not your garden-variety crank who can take a crackpot rant, turn it into a creepy gazillion-dollar church with the scariest lawyers around, and set himself up as the “Commodore” of a small fleet of ships, waited on hand and foot by teenage girls in white hot pants. But, I digress…”
From Tom Cruise: In Scientology, there is a test for sanity and comparative sanity which is so simple that anyone can apply it. What is the “communication lag of the individual? “Lag” means an interval between events. When asked a question, how long does it take him to answer? When a remark is addressed to him, how long does it take for him to register and return? The elapsed time is what is called the communication lag. The fast answer tells of the fast mind and the sane mind, providing the answer is a sequitur = something following logically; the slow answer tells of less ability and sanity. Marital partners who have the same communication lag will get along; where one partner is fast and one is slow, the situation will become unbearable to the fast partner and miserable to the slow one. Further, Scientology when applied will be more swiftly active in the case of the fast partner and so the imparity under processing will grow beyond either’s ability to cope with the matter.
Restaurant week in NYC…
It’s wet, and not just from the rain. About 75 degrees and the east coast humidity has finally caught up to the roast the apple. I just returned from a usually long dinner at the Tribeca Grill. Second time there and definitely 2nd on my experiences list. I realized one, why they were on the list for the Restaurant week. It gets hot inside and people tend not to fill up here when it gets uncomfortable… Several things bugged me about this place today, the service was blase, and food was mediocre. You would expect more, especially when as guests we didn’t find the Prefix appealing so we ordered off the main menu —
For those that don’t know – NY goes through these Restaurant weeks where high $$ restaurants serve a pre-fix meal for 35$ a person dinner and $22-something for Lunch – all inclusive except for beverage, tax and tip. It can be a great deal if they are serving something you want but then I feel the service just drops to sub par during these weeks as its not their typical clientele. Regardless, you can pick up a great meal – Check out more here: Restaurant Week 2005
So I know I’ve neglected the list but I will up date hopefully tomorrow with some crazy pics from the Pride parade last Sunday…
All is well – keep on keepin on.
