The Hole (Scientology) Coordinates: The Hole at Gold Base (also known as Int Base) at Gilman Hot Springs, California The Hole is the unofficial nickname of a facility operated by the Church of Scientology on Gold Base, its compound near the town of Hemet in Riverside County, California.[1] Dozens of its senior executives have reportedly been confined within the building for months or years. It consists of a set of double-wide trailers within a Scientology compound, joined together to form a suite of offices which were formerly used by the Church's international management team. According to former members of the Church of Scientology and media reports, from 2004 the Church's leader David Miscavige sent dozens of senior Scientology executives to the Hole. The Tampa Bay Times described it in a January 2013 article as a place of confinement and humiliation where Scientology's management culture — always demanding — grew extreme. Map of Gold Base.

He would approach unaccompanied women in alleys and courtyards and spank them on the buttocks, before fleeing. The inability of the authorities to apprehend the offender caused complaints about the ineffectiveness of London's constabulary, and prompted vigilante patrols in the affected areas. A local haberdasher and his accomplice were captured and tried for the attacks. A second attacker nicknamed "Whipping Tom" was active in late 1712 in Hackney, then a rural village outside London. Earlier Whipping Toms[edit] Whipping Tom of 1681[edit] Whipping Tom Brought to Light and Exposed to View[2] The Whipping Tom of 1681 was active in the warren of small courtyards between Fleet Street, Strand and Holborn.

The Original Hacker's Dictionary [This file, jargon.txt, was maintained on MIT-AI for many years, before being published by Guy Steele and others as the Hacker's Dictionary. Many years after the original book went out of print, Eric Raymond picked it up, updated it and republished it as the New Hacker's Dictionary. Unfortunately, in the process, he essentially destroyed what held it together, in various ways: first, by changing its emphasis from Lisp-based to UNIX-based (blithely ignoring the distinctly anti-UNIX aspects of the LISP culture celebrated in the original); second, by watering down what was otherwise the fairly undiluted record of a single cultural group through this kind of mixing; and third, by adding in all sorts of terms which are "jargon" only in the sense that they're technical. This page, however, is pretty much the original, snarfed from MIT-AI around 1988. -- jpd.] Verb doubling: a standard construction is to double a verb and use i as a comment on what the implied subject does.

Introduction [1.1] Raw, noisy, forbidding, industrial, illegal, outdated, subversive, underground. These adjectives color Malcolm McLaren's account of working with chiptunes artists in a 2003 feature for Wired magazine. [1.2] In its strictest use, the term chiptunes refers to music composed for the microchip-based audio hardware of early home computers and gaming consoles. [1.3] The study of games suggests comparison with a variety of cultural traditions: games as moving images (King and Krzywinska 2002), as stages for theatrical performance (Laurel 1991), and as literature (Murray 1998), but the role of music, sound, and noise in computer games remains relatively underexamined. [1.4] As the exchange between McLaren and Morris reveals, the term chiptunes does not refer simply to video game soundtracks or compositions for early home computers. 2. Video 1. Video 2. Video 3.
