The Peak

It occurred to me the other day when looking at the biography and reviews of musicians, authors, anyone creative, that it seems there a few stages that are progressed through. Usually I can outline one 'peak' of the artist's work. That book or album that represented the artist at the peak of their powers. The work preceding this peak is normally nearly as good, better in parts, but rougher on the whole. Some prefer this stage to the 'peak', maybe not for the whole but for that one aspect of it.

Sometimes this peak is in dispute, but a lot of the time it really sticks out. I remember a quote from Mike Leigh's 'Naked', where the main character was fearful that he'd 'already had the best part of his life.' This would really be amplified if you art was your life and that you know whatever you created it would never come up to the peak. I wonder if this is related to the stereotype of the artist's depression.

I see a few parrallels with people's lives in general, even orgasm, drugs. What can be gained from artists work after their peak? Is it a settling, a resignation, a sad attempt akin to an aging man's toupe. And what about in your own life? Is it really better to die young rather than be tortured by what you can no longer achieve or kid yourself that what you have now is just as good.

The body deteriorates and so does the sharpness of the brain, replaced by knowledge and experience to compensate, but maybe for some that's not an acceptable trade.

as reluctant as we may be to discuss the topic the peak is relitive[the fall is obvious]but the fall brings the stars back to earth

we are too easilly infatuated by the 'stars' at their peak..[it damages their ego[they believe their own pr]thus we get those egotistic faulse gods[spoiled brats]the golden child,who get scared by the smallest human inperfection

i long ago made peace with my humanity,the more rare victories now get the greater appriciation,..but victories while more rare are now as simple as getting out of bed or responding to a post..[or returning kindness for kindlessness]

the peak is over-rated[as i think you infact did affirm]and as is said many a fine tune is played on that old fiddle,..sure the old buttons people used to be able to push dont allways get the same response..[but the knowing that we all meet that great equaliser[time]somehow makes life more bearable

Gosh, I wish I could meet you both just so I could bang your heads together. What I would give to have your brains. Whether at your so called peaks or 20 years after you’re both parked up pondering the unacceptable trade or the great equaliser’s arrival;

I desperately need to know about the law, how things get done in government, who can help. I am busy reading everything here, trying to work out how to do things and I have a terrible time keeping up with you all but I am trying very hard to learn.

I foster little children in NSW. Justice Woods wrote a report and now “they” are going to move all the little children to NGO’s where profits will be made by children being bought in to care.

Privatising child care! Profit from young humans of all colours and creeds.

It is worse than exporting animals, intellectual prostitutes, intensive farming, how slow the site is, cigarettes, free speech, or whether some idiot came back on as Austin instead of Jack.

Before the Woods thing I watched little children and carers and parents being treated very badly within this system and I realised I don’t know enough and probably aren’t smart enough to do anything. Even if you’ve peeked you’re clever and required. You both understand and gasp concepts I never even heard about.

Dear Houellebecq,

Another interesting thread.

My life has certainly had its peaks, as well as its
lows. And I'm not finished yet. Not by a long shot.
I'm not even half way through. There's nothing wrong
with reaching for the stars. Ah, the reminders of
childhood. "Better to reach for the stars and miss,
than reach for a mud puddle and make it." (sorry,
I can't remember who said it).

I'm convinced that the path to happiness is to be
really all that you can be. When you're young
you've got strong beliefs as well as your own
insecurities. Then you're less tolerant
and more afraid. As you grow older, you're more
willing to let others shine.

I believe for me, the best is yet to come.
I believe the roads I choose will be paved with concrete
not quicksand. One of the advantages of growing older is -
I no longer feel guilty for being who I am.

My parents were great levelers. They taught me that no
matter who we are, sometimes things don't always work out
the way we want. But that's allright, something better
could be just around the corner.

studies found that during dreaming humans use more their brain than solving a dificult nath or any other problem.
More we use our brain more we develope it. More dreams we have, more developed brain we have.
Which and when people are dreamers? young or older, women or men, poor or rich, educated or less educated, religious or non religious, etc?
If we call The Peak the peak use of our brain then the findings will be very surprising!
Some people never stop dreameing, for them The Peak will be just before they will leave the earth to enter into the hell, (hell is the place I will go when I will die)
For most people The Peak is when they start to thing to create family, children etc.
For artists, poets, painters etc The Peak comes late in their life but for most people The Peak is when they are 28-36 years old.
It is not easy to find when is The Peak for one person, especialy for an artist, writer or poet.
The work on the peak is not very popular as it is very complex and more difficult to understand it.

Houellebecq, do you know when the trojan horses (that's me!) are on The Peak?
Probably never!

UOG:"while i would like to help..here are some search results from the world freeman society that might help out better..."

Thank you Under One God, I went and read them. But I think in the states they have a lot of different laws to call on and things in their constitution and stuff that I am never going get my head around.

I have trawled through forums but anything discussing DoCS in Australia is usually parents who are very angry about their own personal situation and dealing with the department. Took me a long time to find a site where I thought the people understood more about how things work.

I think I need to learn some basics. When the government decides to contract out to private companies how does it work and why do they do it? Does it mean the government has itself "Peaked" and can no longer do the job?

UOG:"as to the rest of your post i cant make head nor tails of it..[but such is old age]"

You're being nice to me when I was rather rude and definately uncalled for. Sorry.

jewelry<<When the government decides to contract out to private companies how does it work and why do they do it?>>..it is usually done under authority of an act..[the act is authoritive only for those covered under the act]

thus we have things like liquir acts or transport acts or drugs acts, and in your case child protection acts[...the ascts are usually quoted when they do their vile,[under the act]..the thing to do is ask them for proof you are subject to their act..[this means carefull study of their acts]which that site does

how they get the right..is we applied..to register under their act[when a child is born..they are required to be registered[under the act]..thus fall subject under the act..[were they not registered they wouldnt be subject to the act

see when we beg..[apply means in legal speak beg]..when we apply[beg] to regester a birth,..the act of registration creates a persona[person]..subject to the act

[because we aplied to drive under a licence..we fall subject to road laws[but registration is only required if doing buisness..[legally a vehicle is a means to obtain income,..thus it is registered]

when we apply to pay tax..we are presumed to know for what we beg[but income tax is only on income..[not wages],see its all related..[at the forementioned site[under succes stories]is a post about a russion child..[given a number not a name]..and the act cant register him[thus has no power over him]

its too complicated to explain in 350 words but it all is explained at the forum

<<Does it mean the government has itself"Peaked"and can no longer do the job>>..the govt has over reached in many areas..[see under constituted law..those laws are ONLY to control govt acts..[not the people..[so clever lawyers made a'person'[our IN CAPS NAME]..that falls under govt authority[under the act]..via the civil-law of contract

[when we APPLY to any govt agency..the IN CAPS person,..contracts into the act..[thus THE PERSON;..the in caps name]..creates a contracted juristiction

[its all explained at the site]..its completly legal..[BUT NOT LAWFULL]

Jewely, at the risk of upsetting Maximilion again, since you are trying to learn all you can about the law, especially since you are into looking after the lambs, John 21:15 I can tell you why you are unhappy with the legal system in New South Wales. It has gone pure pagan, and pagans own slaves. A Christian society values every member of it, and once again at the risk of upsetting about half the population, a certain major Church was the biggest slave owner in the world. It was rejected by English law, and they have been fighting each other ever since. That was 1215.

In 1970 a certain whoremaster brothel owner sly grogger, with illegal casino’s after making an enormous amount of money running girls and grog to American sailors during and after WWII hit his peak set out to bribe both Liberal and Labor to provide him with a safe environment in which to operate. Between 1969 and 1979 he got exactly what he paid for, and we have a Supreme Court that is no longer a Supreme Court, and a Federal Court of Australia that is not and never has been a proper Christian court. We have Judges and Magistrates and had a Police force that was bought off.

Paul Keating, in about 1992 realised that Australia was heading down the track of a banana republic, just like the banana republics that have been established all over the world where this certain Church has had dominant influence, made legislation to correct the malfunctioning Australian society. The whoremaster was still alive until 2006. His tentacles extended well into the Liberal party.While he lived they were impotent.

PK passed legislation between 1993 and 1996, to fix all this up. A National Criminal Code Act 1995 ( Cth) was enacted, Trade Practices Act 1974 was amended and updated, The Evidence Act 1995, (Cth) was upgraded, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights was enacted in 1986, and reenacted and applied in 1995. When Labor was defeated in 1996, we took a backward step into the dark ages

Not a problem at all, your post was relevant and helpful, congratulations. Your apparent expertise is always welcome, where it's appropriate, as here.

Hey, I read it thank you, I printed out both posts and really read them. What is The Forum? Besides not know anything about politics, acts, the law – I am also a complete neophyte when it comes to navigating sites.

I should not have stated I need help, but asked if I did. This is what I believe, what I understand:

I foster children, have done for over ten years, have had 106 lambs in my care. For a 0 – 5 year old child I receive 395.00 a fortnight in NSW. I foster Short Term (pretty much while in court sorts stuff) and then Court decides in the end if the child is going to go back to parents or on in to Long Term Care (either with DoCS carers or from NGO care bases). I pack bags and say goodbye.

The NGO’s are funded by DoCS. I think right now DoCS has about 80% or carers and the NGO’s have the rest. NGO caregivers get paid more as do their caseworkers etc.

Right now it is being planned that over the next 3 – 5 years (recommended by Justice Woods) that NGO’s take over the fostering of children.

Wouldn’t a private company be more inclined to take money and not actually provide a good service to the children if they can get away with it?

There is a study about to commence trying to work out why the foster children don’t do very well compared to other children. I think I know. They just “place” them, they never ask about the kids or what sort of family might suit them. I have already seen NGO’s bully DoCS to place children as quickly as possible within their own system with total disregard of the little humans.

I feel I need to do something, but am at a loss.

will..try to outline..a bit about the sysytem..as it was explained to me
see that society..has allways looked at ways to seperate children from thier parents

[there are amoung the carers..those who couldnt care-less about their charges,..lets call them the ngo's]

see that abo/children were put into orphenages and even british/kids were stolen from their parents ww2 and brought to aussie and other commonwealth countries SOLEY to supply govt servant needs for kids to rape

see that the govt organises the'carers'to have a ready supply of kids available for keeping the judges,cops and polies etc in line''[they got'good'dirt on em..when you got proof of pediphilia on em]..you get great..'party'loyalty

these poor kids have got all sorts of stuff put on em..[mind controled and many other perversions programed into em..[i have met with more than a few of them in the drug scene and ammoung the homeless and insane..

their stories are consistant[though it would be so much easier to say they are nuts]..in the end i had to accept the truth..maybe ten different individuals'revealed'to me in confidence..[over the years

its so organised..that govt-cars deliver specific/kids according to need for the individual/perversions..[its fairly pervasive going down right now..canberra sydney and brisbane politics for sure]..as these are locations i have been told about..i dont have any reason to presume its not global..[if you ever attended a carer gathering you would soon realise the truth of the matter for your self]

but i dont have first/hand knowing..[i have only witnessed the end result of the matter]..it was part of the learning i had to accept[one of those things you wish you never knew about]..but such is as it is

[what can we do to change it?..[not a real lot,think of the likes of alan jones,jonny young..[the media is in on the scam,..and the police as well]..they run the prison/system and the justice/system..[yes even the phyciatric/system/pro-fession..lol...

the one consolation..is those abused seem to be more aware than the average sheeple..[must be the better'class'of people they mix with]but its the main reason i refuse to join the scum floating at the top..[the..'peak'of humanity..so to speak]

UnderOneGod,

Are you seriously trying to make me cry? Okay so if I got what you were saying it is that little kids are bought in to care for less than good reasons and this has happened forever and that rarely have they benefitted from being in this care. This battle I think maybe the parents need to fight.

Can I do something about the ones who are going to kept in care?

I need to ask more questions (yes I bet that knocked your socks off).

When a person is made a Minister do they have to have already shown an interest in what they are doing... Does the Minister for Transport need to know how to drive a car or just look good standing next to one. Does the Minister for Community Services need to know anything about her state wards or just do a job at a political level?

Where would I hit the ceiling if looking for someone that actually was concerned about the individual children?

Better to have peaked and fallen than to have never peaked at all.

Keeping one's feet on the ground and things in perspective helps.

jewelry<<..trying to make me cry?>>its a very messy/area[even the vile word..'pediphile'[meaning;[child lover]..is a sick joke..[calling a child-rapist a'child lover'..yeah..bet..that hurts em..lol

<<saying..that rarely have they benefitted...>>im..not saying some dont benifit..[some go on/to run the same scam]..many realise its better to join with..the'power'..after they realise how omnipotant it..appears to be..[it gets complicated..]

<<..parents need to fight.>>..sadly..the reason we got drug-laws is to get the kids off the druggies..[who would return the child to an addict..[you must have heard..of some of the types..of parents children are removed from]

what can parents/do in jail..[are the kids better off[in jail]with them..[or being sold for drugs?[..it gets too complicated]..thats why it is as intrenched as it is]

<<the Minister for Transport...>>great oppertuinities for insurance perks in the future..[3 rd party insurance is a great scam]

<<Does the Minister for Community Services need to know anything about her state wards>>so many different things to consider[usually a complete innocent is required..[and actual'social'workers are required to do ongoing reports/destractions of process[as soon as the reports indicate any..real knowledge..they are moved on]..it has a high suicide rate

<<Where would I hit the ceiling>>there are plenty concerned,even the'child-lovers'are concerned..[but via having the reigns of prison,law and policing and media etc..what can they do?..go to a nut house?..get drunk?

its one of those too hard-basket/issues..you may..find one good trusted person..[but is the..next person..?..they take it to..of the same'good'intent..[or there to make sure the status remains quo]

..short of 24/7 monitoring..[and what pedophile wouldnt love that 'job']..maybe kids need a panic button[or computers monitoring them automaticly..[i dont know either]

There has been a war of ideas going on in the English speaking world since the time of Henry VII. Henry VII was the King who persuaded Parliament to take away the power of Judges, and give it back to the grass roots political meetings created by the Magna Carta. Henry VIII the one who was a serial polygamist stopped the enormous amounts of gold that were leaving England by creating English Notaries Public. The Pope was in the habit of selling indulgences. An indulgence was a prepaid forgiveness card, and these prepaid forgiveness cards were certified by Notaries appointed by the Pope. Judges were recognizing these prepaid get out of jail free cards, until Henry VII put an end to it. Henry VII made the only valid acquittal, in either civil or criminal cases that given by a jury of 12 lay people not Priests.

Australian democracy was at its peak in 1900. It decided to seek self rule as one united colony under one God, with the English Queen as His representative. It was a Protestant Christian democracy, to which the Roman Catholic residents reluctantly agreed, after extracting a promise in S 116 Constitution that their flock could take part to the fullest extent in public life. It has survived for 109 years, after a fashion, but has been under heavy attack from organized crime for much of its existence.

The war is between those who are of Catholic thinking, and those of Protestant Christian thinking, because a Catholic is taught from childhood not to question a priest. A PC is taught to read the Bible for themselves. The Catholic thinkers want to govern from the top down, and include Stalin, Mao, Mugabe, Castro, Menzies, and JH. Organised crime cannot survive under Protestant Christian rule. It sought and got the repeal of the laws that cramped its style. In 1996, the High Court declared a “Kable Principle” which said in effect that organized crime could not legitimately dictate outcomes to a court. Priests are still ruling us, and we will not peak again until they are deposed

The peak of Paul Keating’s career was when he realized organized crime was ruining Australia. He enacted legislative changes, to make Australia more competitive, but after 1996, when we were fooled into electing a lawyer as PM, these reforms were put aside. The organized crime that is ruining Australia is the point two five of one percent who are given the monopoly of practicing law. Parliament is impotent while this gang rules. Henry VII [1472] legislated to curb their power, and England prospered. Australian prosperity will peak again, if KR fixes the gangs.

The political right to sue for a civil penalty was granted by an Imperial Act in force in Australia in 1900, which was 36 Edward III C ix (9) [1363] and reads like this: Item Any man that feeleth himself grieved contrary to any of the articles above written, or others contained in divers statutes, will come into Chancery, or any for him, and thereof make his Complaint, he shall presently there have his remedy by force of the said Articles and statutes without elsewhere pursuing to have remedy.

Lawyers developed a way of getting round this Statute. They would get a Judge ( Priest in Chancery) to dismiss the case on a false prosecution.

Since 4 HEN 7 C 20 [AD 1427] any man (woman) could take an action at law, for a civil penalty for breach of Statute Law, and no Judge could dismiss it. King Henry raised lots of revenue from this business and kept taxes low. To ensure that they were properly tried, the Statute states: unless they are lawfully found with the plaintiffs , or against them by trial of twelve men and not otherwise, the claim remained unsettled.

In the above statute, King Henry said they were much profitable to the King as well as anyone who would sue for them. This is Protestant Christian government, which does not regard people as slaves.. KR will peak, when he bites the bullet and ensures the Federal Parliament is no longer a highly paid debating society and restores power to the people

KR got a letter before he was even elected suggesting that every Federal Court Judge, appointed since 1976 and every High Court Justice appointed since 1979, was not entitled to any pension whatsoever because none of them had done their job according to law. It was suggested to him that because none of them really understood the separation of powers means they are Almighty God’s delegate and Jesus Christ’s delegates must be the judges referred to in s 79 Constitution, they really should not have been paid all that time. He did not answer that letter.

Lawyer power peaked in 1976, when in direct contradiction of the words in S 79 Constitution the Parliament of the Commonwealth dictated to the Federal Courts that a lawyer be a Judge. In 1979 they did the same to the High Court. PK legislated that S 45 Trade Practices Act 1974 which makes exclusive dealing illegal would apply to all governmental agencies, and that of course included the High Court and Federal Courts of Australia.

These government bodies have been excluding people from access to justice since their inception. KR got a letter asking him to organize the repeal of s 39 Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 and Order 46 Rule 7A Federal Court Rules so that we the people could get free and unfettered access to the Judicial Power of the Commonwealth. He has not given us that either yet.

Chris Bowen has promised tough anti-cartel legislation, but what use is that, if it cannot be enforced by the victims. What don’t they understand about judicial power? Don’t they understand that Parliament is an elected court? Don’t they understand that it only has legislative power, and does not have judicial power? Don’t they understand that democracy to succeed must not exclude ordinary people from exercising their right to vote, not just once every three years, but every time a grass roots political meeting is held, under government authority? Perhaps they fear being accountable, just as Judges should. States have no judicial power, Almighty God has and KR should ensure they know that

Someone sent the below message to me - can someone help explain it to me?

So a case worker is given the “special powers” of a federal court basically.

I am only looking at this from a legal point of view, nothing else, but I will do my best to explain it to you simply and in lay terms.

What has happened, and looks like it has been passed, in State Government is from what I can see like this;

Case workers were given “special powers” of the Federal courts - Or Linked to Federal Courts in for the want of a better expression an informal but powerful none the fewer roles.

To add to the problem it seems a tribunal was formed also with special powers with three heads. One of those being a psychologist.

To obtain an order in a family court - Federal court OR anything to do with Federal Courts psychologists reports are NOT recognised unless presented in support with a medico legal report done by a fully trained psychiarist.

I found Federal court does not accept a report from a psychologist, unless it can be shown he/she spent so much time, with the client that it was necessary to support the medico legal report AND ONLY THEN.

Medico legal reports are the only thing federal court magistrates really look to make a ruling. Not psychologists.

So you seem or appear to have an in-house informal panel of people whom may refuse a lawyer to be present to represent the kids making calls for permanent placements and adoptions. Wow.

The way I see it these people were given the powers of the federal court. Case workers and they alone can make you or break you and your children. Don’t go blaming case workers either. They didn’t make the laws.

im unsure/what you ask<<..a case-worker is given the“special powers”of a federal/court.>>i presume you mean case/worker..is judge and jury

fed-court cant give'power'..it can judge abuse of power..[rule..if an act is divergent or missapplied,..can issue an order,..but can only rule on its juristictioned areas of law,by..the evidence presented before it

<<What has happened/..looks like..it has been passed,..in State/Government..is..like this;..Case-workers were given“special powers”...of[by?]the Federal courts,..Or Linked to Federal Courts[rulings]>>..i would ask for the relivant ruling..[what court ruled on what,when/how]

<<for the want of a better expression..an informal but powerful..??..none the fewer roles>>...i dont comprehend

<<..a tribunal was formed also with special powers..>>ONLY IF YOU FALL UNDER THE JURISTICTION OF THE ACT

<<with three heads...One of those being a psychologist.>>boards can be overruled..[you dont have to accept their order,..the atourney general asks if you feel maltreated..[tell him/her you wish to complain]

<<To obtain an order in a family court..in support with a medico legal report done by a fully trained psychiarist.>>..its archaic law by precedent[based on the common/law of two witnesses]..we arnt legally a common law juristiction..[though lawfully we always were]...but law is a thing used to bamboosel us

<<..Medico legal reports are the only thing federal court magistrates really look to make a ruling...>>this is because we dont know the process..

[see the board'ruling'is signed..documented/contractual'proof'..if you dont submit your own rebuttal!![signed/witnessed]..the court rules..because simply speaking THAT the only evidence they got..is the boards declaration.

So we do have an in-house informal panel of people..[whom may refuse a lawyer to be present].to represent the kids][best intrests]..making calls for permanent placements and adoptions...

because we dont understand basic court process

see a signed declaration is higher proof/than any..verbal conversation in court..[because what we say,..hasnt the legal/weight[standing]of what is declared..on paper

[our failure to rebut..the paper..means the paper is presumed truth]

search/..the..'laws of maxim'..at the wff/site

<<people were given the powers of[from?][by?].the federal court.[Case workers]..and they alone can make you or break you and your children.

Don’t go blaming case workers either.
They didn’t make the laws.>>..yep..their..ONLY..doing their job..lol

H,

Back on the real topic. Are you saying that young is smart and older is dumber?
Peaks as you describe there are highly subjective and I would propose that can't be generalised in any meaningful way.
Take Turner's paintings his early works were similar to Constable detailed almost photographic. Yet his later works are impressionistic to almost the point of abstract. If in Melbourne see his paintings in the Vic Art Gallery to see what I mean. Some say his early work is best and thereby his peak but if you were an impressionist you would say he died too soon and his best work was still in his head.
The actor Mickey Rooney did his best work in his dotage.
I think there are more factors at play than simply mental acuity being replaced by experience. Fashion, cultures, prejudice to mention a few. How many strong leading roles are written for older women...fewer than males. How many D&M roles for older blacks or Asians?

Yes SOME processes slow but where it counts thinking a topic through and comprehending nuances, context, proportion etc. youth can be a disadvantage.

I would also suggest some people's experience tends to be 1 year X 30/40 as opposed to 30/40 years of experience.

As I said the topic is too nebulous to generalise meaningfully on. In short it depends on so many factors.

Jewely you are being conned again. The peak the absolute summit of power in Australia is the Judicial Power of the Commonwealth. It cannot be delegated to an individual or even a tribunal, but must be exercised by a court. Note the uncapital nature of the word. A court is defined in an 1856 Bouvier Law Dictionarry, as an incorporeal political entity. That means until it comes into being by the calling together of an ecclesia, a gathering of 12 people it is not a court, but it can be a Court. A Court is a place, but until the people are invited to participate it does not become a court.

State governments do not have the Judicial Power of the Commonwealth. The Parliament of New South Wales does not have any Judicial Power of the Commonwealth. Independently of Parliament the courts of New South Wales were granted the Judicial Power of the Commonwealth by the Parliament of the Commonwealth. Once they have it they should exercise it, but currently they do not except when tricked into it.

The way they have been tricked into it in the past twelve months has been for a litigant who is being conned in the State Courts, to commence a concurrent action in the Federal Court, and when the Federal Court Judge rings up the State Judge, the state Judge does the right thing. This should be happening all the time, but the Federal Court is lazy and have given themselves power not to file.

They like the money they get, $6,000 a week, but they don’t like to work. A Registrar has the power to refer it in secret to a Judge, to see if the Judge wants to allow a person to pay his money and get the Federal Court to work. In practice the Federal Court can waive filing fees for unemployed and pensioners. In reality if money is paid, they usually file, if an application to waive fees is made, the unemployed person or pensioner is sometimes very lucky and it gets filed. This is my quota today, thanks

Under One God, which God? I lived in Saudi Arabia for awhile, had to claim one god myself just to get in.

You know too much baby, this I guess could be considered Peaking in itself. But what you know is heartbreaking. What you understand of this country (and I don't say it isn't true) is horrible. How do you balance how you believe the world works with ever being able to smile?

Peter, I am told, quite directly by a previous OLO user that I should appreciate your words, that you even took time to explain stuff to me should be looked upon with gratitude. Well I am hardly a child and I do appreciate your words and the time you took to respond.

But, if I have understood, you are both telling me in your own ways that this country is bad, always has been, always will be. In addition I think I grasped that no matter how I feel for our little state wards I am probably alone and even if not alone I certainly do not know enough or can expect anyone, with any authority or power to initiate change, to care.

Bummer. I am not a sook, I suck this up and move on. I did suspect when I first became quite scared for children under the guardianship of DoCS I would of course fail. Now, as humans do, I have to work out how to do better in my own way within a system that has little regard for its product (aka little Aussies).

jewelry[there is but one god[as i learned in my..'peak']..i have no mind for people naming him..as they chose..[my beef is people simply speaking..dont know the one god..who gives all living..their lives to live

even the scum of the earth..gets..the gift of life..from god..[for the'one'god is'good']..no matter how vile any of us may be..there is one..who loves all UNCONDITIONALLY..[you guessed it..[god/good]

that dosnt mean to say..all life will love the vile..[we must keep in mind..that while god dont judge us..YET..[others will]!..god may forgive us the most vile..we do..[but then god sustains the victim[and the oppressor..;BOTH..thier very lives..[it really is a case of that'we'..did to the least..we DID/do..to him]

yes/it seems a contradiction..to try to love..even the most vile..[as god does]..and many have tried and failed..[for the vile is truelly vile,

i cant forgive them their vile,..thus hope to..wake them up and repent the vile..they..may have done..[god truelly loves the repentant sinner..

[the willfuill/sinner is another matter all-together...but who is to judge,..if not god then why judge we?

see than vile has its own fruits..[in the next life..;and there is a next life,..all is revealed,..the vile is reviled..[gods grace is of little consolation,..when all mankind shuns you]..

as god forgives EVERYone,..saying you have his grace is of little merrit..[for who has his grace/mercy..not]

the next realm is about getting more of what we gave..in this realm..[and this realm as you would know belongs to satan..

[see that those who love to murder..;ALL SHARE THE SAME REALM here/after..[murdering ONLY each other for eternity]...noting there are..in that given realm far worse than you/me..[and them]..lol

[we can only imagine what these child perverts do..in the next realm TO..and..ONLY do to..EACH OTHER..thus i forgive them..for they know not what is in store..lol..[any we do in this realm is returned..in the same coin..THE SAME..manyfold more is given]...lol

i imagine the racist/hell[realm]..with all them racists in the same realm,..and as i have no wish to share that realm with them..thus[i forgive and move on]..

this is what i learned..[so to speak;..when i was at..'my peak'...lol

I agree with those who believe that the "Peak" for artists of all kinds, is subjective. It is something only recognised in retrospect.

The artistic personality strives always for perfection and there is never a time - for most - when they can admit to having achieved it. There is always, therefore, the hope, with each new canvas, book, poem, performance, that this one is going to be "it".

One of the reasons that contributes to this is that Peaks are not necessarily linear. It is undeniable that, months or years after reaching what has been regarded as their "best" work, a creative person suddenly produces a work of sheer genius that eclipses all other efforts.

This possibility is the inspiration of those who continue - in mediocrity often - after what is later established as the peak of their work, I think.

I don't see that there is a Use By date or a time period restriction for the rest of us either. Personally, I have lived an amazing life and there are several highlights that I look back upon at any given point in it.

But I think I would be robbed of any impetus to strive for further education or experiences - or life itself - if I believed that I had got as good as I was ever going to get or that the pinnacle of a lifetime of experiences was behind me.

You are full on aren’t you UOG. So you believe there is One God. You believe in heaven and hell but different hells for different sins? Like Dantes circles? This means that if you forgive and move on you are guessing God will be cool with that? The rules are written where?

Can God Peak? What if all of this creation was created by a God who had already reached the Peak of Godedness, which a whole other universe is enjoying.

Who was the painter that did the “blue period” because of cataracts and when he got his eyes fixed he was a bit horrified and spent some time getting rid of his “blue” paintings? Is that what Romany means by peaking being subjective? Sorry – I should be asking this of Romany but I am having trouble posting and get server errors so throwing everything in to one message.

Isn’t Peaking (nah not the city) only about the big stuff – one talent? Are others even thought of in terms of Peaking if they weren’t gifted in any way?

Jewely

So when God created life, the universe and everything, he was past his use-by date.
ROFL. That explains a lot. I like the way your mind works.

I know my long distance running days peaked a while back. But my writing continues to improve. And how about musicians? Blues and Jazz musos just go on forever it seems, I managed to catch Miles Davis before he went to Blues heaven.

Many painters continue to produce great works into old age. I guess it all depends on what the talent or skill is. It seems that golfers go on forever too. However, not so for ballet dancers, tennis players or swimmers.

What was the point for this discussion anyway?

"What was the point for this discussion anyway?"

The site is Online Opinion so we are all desperately trying to have some?

The Peak: When you thought you did good or someone else thought it was your best whether you thought so or not.

And I forgot the original question because UOG made me sad half way through by talking about stuff he knows.

UOG:"infinite talents,what have you done to invest your own?"

Through years of practise and concentration I am able to wiggle my ears without touching them.

Jewely

Thanks for the best laugh I have had all day.

Long may you continue to wiggle your ears.

But... what happens when you peak, Jewely?

>>Through years of practise and concentration I am able to wiggle my ears without touching them.<<

Will your ear-wiggling continually improve in the coming years, and then - tragedy - suddenly decline, until you find them stubbornly motionless on each side of your skull?

Will you then be confined to reminiscence, on how, one day, you actually managed to wiggle with such ferocity, that you hovered for a few moments, inches above the earth?

I can see your grandchildren at your feet, shaking with suppressed laughter, as they hear the story for the fourteenth time.

Which all goes to show that the answer to the "peak" is simply... never look back.

Fractelle: "Thanks for the best laugh I have had all day."

I hope I haven't Peaked, I hope I can make you laugh regularly.

Pericles: "But... what happens when you peak, Jewely?"

Toes curl, usual stuff.

Perciles: "Will your ear-wiggling continually improve in the coming years, and then - tragedy - suddenly decline, until you find them stubbornly motionless on each side of your skull?
Will you then be confined to reminiscence, on how, one day, you actually managed to wiggle with such ferocity, that you hovered for a few moments, inches above the earth?"

Well I haven't tried that yet. I will however let you know how it all turns out.

"I can see your grandchildren at your feet, shaking with suppressed laughter, as they hear the story for the fourteenth time."

Well they're in for a damn sound kicking and they don't even exist yet.

"Which all goes to show that the answer to the "peak" is simply... never look back."

That could be it, you'd have to not let anyone else look back either

I once assumed that I had reached the pinncale of existance when I finally mastered the art of the raised right eyebrow. At the age of 15 I considered this gave me an air of world-weary cynicism that would bode me well throughout my life.

Unfortunately these days raising my right eyebrows merely lifts all the lines and wrinkles into strange convulutions and gives me the air of a mildly astonished Sharpei.

As Pericles wisely said: never look back. (especially if your right eyebrow is raised. The wind might change!)

Romany: “I once assumed that I had reached the pinnacle of existence when I finally mastered the art of the raised right eyebrow. At the age of 15 I considered this gave me an air of world-weary cynicism that would bode me well throughout my life.”

Too cool. One of my daughter’s friends can do it - it does give her that world-weary look. She has the biggest sticky outy ears I have ever seen though, wonder if she could wiggle them at the same time as the raised eyebrow. Now that would be an achievement to shame both of us off our peaks.

“Unfortunately these days, raising my right eyebrows merely lifts all the lines and wrinkles into strange convolutions and gives me the air of a mildly astonished Sharpei.”

Haha… that was a good one. Ohh! I can do that hand greeting like Spock, it gets better… both hands!

Hey do you know why I can post and then it won’t let me post for an hour and then on and on like that all day?

And I would ask in the Sever Error thread but Ginx and Graham are busy in there and I didn’t want to interrupt because I think they are having some kind of forum domestic. By the looks of it she’s winning.

"As Pericles wisely said: never look back. (especially if your right eyebrow is raised. The wind might change!)"

And never step back either, hubby does it all the time without looking and keeps treading on the children.

I hate that!

“see that we have post limits[im using my last one to post this]

What box? Does it say in it how many you have left – [blush] I will go look myself.
Your sacrifice is most appreciated.

“this general topic allows 10 posts in 24 hours
[max of 4 per topic]in 24 hours”

You would not believe how hard it is for me to get my head around this or even work it out. (yes thanks Col I know you’d believe it). Does it go from like 9am until 9am the next morning? I post then get told to wait an hour then post then wait and on it goes. Oh no… this morning I had to wait three hours then post one then wait another hour.

“the articles section allows 5 in 24 hours
with a max of 2 per topic[in 24 hours]”

I am too scared to go near the articles and only read that conversation that Fractelle posted and it scared me right off. Her too by the look of it.

“i can do the spock thing
but also mastered the nanu nanu thing
shazbutt, there goes a wasted post”

That was not wasted, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Freaked me out and I don’t believe you for a second but did make me smile once I recovered a bit. I had a flat mate once who sat for days trying to flick a cigarette in to his mouth so it landed filter in from waist height.

I mean, gawd what a waste of time I thought. But years later this still impressed people no end, this casual remove from packet and flick up in to his mouth.

Actually he died two years ago of bladder cancer but I will remember his trick forever. Probably put down as a smoking statistic somewhere.

your heading upwards..[i wont say at or near your peak,..cause i think we have rebutted the con-cept],..and clearly are at the plateau[sorry..about the spelling..[you wouldnt know it..but..im at my peak re/spelling..lol]..i now at least know..i spelled it wrong..[yet cant nail-down where]

oh dear..too many ups and downs in that first paragraph..[so will do as i usually do..hurry it up a bit to get the posting thing over with[in a hurry]..then quickly post it..and hope i never have to read it again

anyhow with the error,i learned a few tricks..[so wont bother posting them at the special topic,..but will try to recall them here

first off/the issue comes from updates..[so grayham could simply reset the settings back to[pre]the faulty update,..that planted the error mess-age

other than that i find that posting via the revision/buton halves the error rate..[also holding the post/butten down with a sudden release gets the job done..[occasionally]..there are a few other teqniques but they involve some karma-sutra moves..[im not sure we can dis-cuss in an open for-em]

anyhow regarding the question of timming..[it goes purely by the time period]..of 24 hours..[much along the line of..once a king allways a king..but 5 times a night is too much],..i hear you say oh but a night isnt 24 hours..[but i got no reponse to that one]

it was interesting reading your break-down[annalysis]of the posters[im sorry i cant'write'more clear..[clearly]..i didnt realise so many posters wernt male..[names have allways con-fused me]

anyhow it has been fun having this social intercourse with you all..[but now im done]

god i need a fag..[oops]..sorry i meant smoke]
trouble is i never know where to put out my butt/end

why is english so sticky[tricky]
time please gentlemen

you brought out the joker in me
its time to but him back in the box
sorry if the jokes went beyond their peak

hope you didnt laugh out loud..[why is hubby looking at you...lol
its great to see a couple that web-surf in the same room

[even if your heads may be on the other side of the globe,..your hearts clearly share the same space]

“your heading upwards..[i wont say at or near your peak,..cause i think we have rebutted the con-cept],..and clearly are at the plateau[sorry..about the spelling..[you wouldn’t know it..but..I’m at my peak re/spelling..lol]..i now at least know..i spelled it wrong..[yet cant nail-down where]”

Oh I can’t spell. On this forum I type things in to Word first, less embarrassing. You don’t have to spell good, it is overlooked when what you are actually saying is more important. Like answering my questions.[smile] .

“other than that i find that posting via the revision/buton halves the error rate..[also holding the post/butten down with a sudden release gets the job done..[occasionally]..there are a few other teqniques but they involve some karma-sutra moves..[im not sure we can dis-cuss in an open for-em]”

I will try that, the revision button not the karma-sutra stuff. Can you imagine discussing it? No illustrations? Now that would take someone who has an amazing grasp of literature. Or maybe your average Mills and Boon author.

“anyhow regarding the question of timming..[it goes purely by the time period]..of 24 hours..[much along the line of..once a king allways a king..but 5 times a night is too much],..i hear you say oh but a night isnt 24 hours..[but i got no reponse to that one]”
Okay. Nah what? Oh [snigger].

“it was interesting reading your break-down[annalysis]of the posters[im sorry i cant'write'more clear..[clearly]..i didnt realise so many posters wernt male..[names have allways con-fused me]”

Oh you can spot a female user a mile away; they are reasonable, intelligent, not as patronizing and less condescending. They will take no rubbish and be supportive of other users if they are treated unfairly [smile]

“you brought out the joker in me its time to but him back in the box sorry if the jokes went beyond their peak”

OUG you are a saucy flirt, who knew.
