About Me
- Name: Lammervanger
- Location: Sydney, Australia
Ek woon deesdae in Sydney. Ek het my PhD by die Universiteit van Sydney klaargemaak en nou dwing ek mense om my as doktor aan te spreek. Soms hou ek myself as 'n mediese dokter voor en neem dan deel aan minder ernstige operasies soos byvoorbeeld kornea oorplantings en die uithaal van verstandtande.

'n Pakslae sou ook seker gehelp het
Rose Marie Kennedy (September 13, 1918 – January 7, 2005) was the third child and first daughter of Joseph and Rose Kennedy, born a year after the U.S. President John F. Kennedy. She underwent a lobotomy at the age of 23, after which she was mentally incapacitated for the rest of her life.
Placid and easygoing as a child and teenager, the maturing Rosemary became increasingly assertive in her personality. She was subject to violent mood swings. Some observers have since attributed this behavior to her difficulties in keeping up with her active siblings as well as the hormonal surges associated with sexual maturation. In any case, the family had difficulty dealing with the often stormy Rosemary, who had begun to sneak out at night from the convent where she was being educated and cared for.
In 1941, when Rosemary was 23, her father was told by doctors that a lobotomy would help calm her "mood swings that the family found difficult to handle at home". Joseph Kennedy had the procedure performed by neurosurgeon Walter Freeman, director of the laboratories at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., together with his partner, James W. Watts, MD, from the University of Virginia. Watts performed his neurosurgery training at Massachusetts General Hospital and later became chief of neurosurgery at George Washington University Hospital. Highly regarded, Dr. Watts became the 91st president of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia.
At the time of the surgery the procedure was in its infancy. Freeman and Watts had only performed 65 previous lobotomies. Freeman had no formal training in surgery and did not believe in the practice of aseptic surgical procedures.
The following are the details of this particular case:
Dr. Watts performed the surgery while Dr. Freeman supervised. In an interview with investigative reporter Ronald Kessler, Dr. Watts described the procedure:
We went through the top of the head, I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch." The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. "We put an instrument inside," he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman put questions to Rosemary. For example, he asked her to recite the Lord's Prayer or sing "God Bless America" or count backwards. ... "We made an estimate on how far to cut based on how she responded." ... When she began to become incoherent, they stopped.
—James W. Watts [2]
Instead of producing the desired result, however, the lobotomy reduced Rosemary to an infantile mentality that left her incontinent and staring blankly at walls for hours. Her verbal skills were reduced to unintelligible babble. Rose Kennedy remarked that although the lobotomy stopped her daughter's violent behavior, it left her completely incapacitated. "Rose was devastated; she considered it the first of the Kennedy family tragedies".
Although Freeman performed more than 3,000 lobotomies on individuals with mental illness during his career, today, his lobotomy treatments are viewed as discredited by the mental health community.
In 1949, Rosemary moved to the St. Coletta School for Exceptional Children (formerly known as St. Coletta's Institute for Backward Children) in Jefferson, Wisconsin, a residential institution for people with disabilities. Due to the severity of her mental condition, Rosemary became largely detached from the Kennedy clan, but she was visited on regular occasions by her sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the founder of the Special Olympics and an advocate for the disabled on Rosemary's behalf. Joe Kennedy also made donations to philanthropic agencies that he founded to help people with developmental disabilities.
Publicly, she was declared to be mentally handicapped. This was more socially acceptable in a political family than a failed lobotomy. "Only a few doctors who worked for the Kennedys knew the truth about Rosemary's condition, as did the FBI", due to a background check of Joe. Joe's attorney told them she had a "mental illness".
Rosemary died from natural causes on January 7, 2005 at Fort Atkinson Memorial Hospital in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin at the age of 86, with her three surviving sisters Eunice Kennedy, Shriver, Patricia Kennedy Lawford and Jean Kennedy Smith, and her only surviving brother Senator Ted Kennedy by her side. Rosemary's death was the only natural death among the deceased children of Joseph and Rose Kennedy until the death of Patricia Kennedy Lawford from pneumonia on September 17, 2006. She is buried in Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Daar gaan die een oog nou oop
Hier is paar voëls wat ek gereeld op die gras voor my huis gewaar:
Die Frogmouth uil. Nooit op die gras nie, net in die boom langs die gras.
Die Ibis.
Die Rainbow Lorikeet.

Fobiekonfrontasie
Ek is volgende week in Duitsland in 'n gehuggie met die naam Nuthetal. Dit is langs Potsdam (rym met kotskam). Ek sien uit na my reis, al gaan ek net vir drie dae in Duitsland wees. Dit is besonder kort as daar in ag geneem word dat die somtotaal van my reistyd amper vier dae is... My roete is Sydney-Hong Kong-Helsinki-Berlyn. Die trippie kom op baie kort kennisgewing so ons kon nie plek kry op die optimum roete nie.
Dit bring ons dan by die fobie-deel van die bespreking. Die vlug tussen Hong Kong en Helsinki. En Helsinki en Hong Kong. Op Finnair. Wat op daai roete 'n MD-11 gebruik. MD-11 is die bliksemse vliegtuig wat in ELKE movie oor botsings, mid-air botsings, vlerke wat onverklaarbaar afval, derde enjin wat in paadjie afvlieg en ledemate saamneem, kapings en dies meer feature. In hulle almal!!
So lyk hy sekondes weg van die aanloopbaan in Helsinki
en so lyk hy
en so moet hy nie lyk nie
Laat dink my aan toe ek die eerste keer deur Hong Kong gevlieg het en 'n geroeste Dragon Air vliegtuig in 'n afgeleë hoek sien staan het. Dragon Air word toe die tema van al my lugverskrikking grappies. Ses maande later sit ek toe wragtag op 'n Dragon Air vliegtuig tussen Hong Kong en Beijing.... en hier gaan ons weer.

Wie's daar?
1) Ek moes die North East Biofuels Organization van Victoria vertel hoe goed hernubare brandstof vir die omgewing en die ekonomie kan wees. Ek het geslaag daarin.
2) Ek moes 15 CEOs wat besighede bedryf in 'n ontwikkelingsaanleg waar ons wil ontwikkel, oortuig dat ons beoogde aanleg geen skade aan hulle, die omgewing of enige ander tasbare dinge sal aanrig nie. Ek het geslaag daarin.
3) Ek moet môre die biodiesel bedryf in die wêreld en Australië aan die Departement Chemiese Ingenieurswese opsom, verduidelik, uitpluis en voordra. Ek sal slaag daarin.
Hopelik sal ek dan weer snaaksighede kan kwytraak...

Loergat in my Lewe
1) Ek was nie hoofseun nie
2) Ek was nie 'n kringleier nie
3) Ek was nie in die kinderkrans nie
4) Ek was nie in die Voortrekkers nie
5) Ek was nie NIE aangewys as die beste drilsersant in die Weermagsarea Groep 4 (Suid-Kaap) in my standerd nege jaar nie.
Ek kan al vyf verduidelik ook. (1) Die onderwysers by my skool het my humorsin verwar met 'n gebrek aan respek vir die wat respek verdien. Veral nadat een van hulle my eendag die uitskel van my lewe gegee het nadat ek "worsie" gesê het maar hy "aborsie" gehoor het. Dit was in antwoord op die vraag wat daar was om te eet by gisteraand se debataand. (2) Ek het te veel gesondig vir 'n kringleier. (3) Ek wou eerder op my BMX ry as om kinderkrans toe te gaan - 'n mens gaan mos in elkgeval klaar Sondae sondagskool toe. (4) Apartheid gaan nie werk nie en wanneer die swartmense die land oorneem, "gaan die Voortrekkers die mense wees wat eerste doodgemaak gaan word." Aldus 'n bekommerde familielid wat met die helm gebore was. Dit was genoeg vir my ma. (5) Ek was nog altyd goed met pas hou en bevele skreeu.

Ons gaan almal hemel toe
FALMOUTH, MA—Near-tragedy turned to joy Monday, as area residents Phillip and Karen Widman and their two children were saved from their burning house on Locust Street by Kevin Lassally, a homosexual man.
Falmouth resident Kevin Lassally, who likes to hold and kiss other men, is being hailed as a hero after rescuing a family of four from a deadly blaze.
The fire, believed to have started around 1 a.m. when an unextinguished candle ignited a set of drapes, threatened to consume the home and the Widman family along with it. Lassally, returning home after visiting with other homosexuals, smelled smoke and saw flames through the Widmans' living room window.
"I heard children crying, and knew I had to do something," the 34-year-old, gay computer programmer told reporters. "I used their porch railing to climb up on the roofing that underhung the children's bedroom. Then I had to kick in their window to reach them."
Once the window was broken, gusts of wind began funneling smoke out of the house and feeding oxygen into the fire. Said Lassally, "I couldn't see through the black wall of smoke, but I was able to locate the children from the sound of their crying." After the blinded, homosexual Lassally eased Meghan, 3, and Joshua, 18 months, out the window and leapt to the ground, protecting the children by absorbing the impact on his own back, he realized the children's parents had yet to be rescued.
"The oldest child began crying that her parents were still in the house," Lassally, who prefers the company of men to women, said. "So I had to go back in for them." The fearless and gay hero once again climbed onto the roof of the house and entered the second-floor window, only to discover after minutes of groping that the master bedroom was nowhere on the upstairs floor. Bolting down the stairs, he found the first floor to be a red-hot mass of flame and collapsing timbers. He nevertheless located the bedroom and carried the unconscious parents out on his shoulders.
By now a blackened, sooty, homosexual figure, Lassally set the Widmans down a safe distance from the house, just as firefighters were arriving, and collapsed on the lawn, exhausted and gay.
Lassally suffered burns covering over 70 percent of his body and sustained injuries leaving him unable to work or have anal intercourse with men for about two months. Doctors describe his condition as stable but homosexual.
As donations and toys come pouring in to the family, which lost most of its possessions, congratulatory cards and telegrams are being sent to Falmouth's new favorite gay citizen.
"This brave, homosexual man has inspired us all," Falmouth mayor Matthew Colella said. "The local hospital has announced plans to rename its burn ward "The Kevin Lassally Gay Burn Ward."
Karen Widman beamed with praise for their new hero: "He's the kind of guy you hope your kids will grow up to be like in certain ways, like courage."
Added husband Phillip: "Some-times life makes you cynical, like it's you against the world. Then out of nowhere comes a totally selfless gay person who turns your whole view around."
Lassally is modest in the face of so many tributes: "I've always believed that one [homosexual] really can make a difference."

Metamorfose
In elkgeval, siende dat daar 'n haartema op Dorothy en Adam se blogsites heers en siende dat daar 'n matige hoeveelheid druk op my uitgeoefen was om my kop te ontbloot, plaas ek met graagte die volgende reeks kiekies.
Hier sien ons vir Lamsak in 'n ernstige luim met baie hare.
Hier is ons held meer ontspanne, steeds met baie hare.
Hier kan ons sien dat die silhouette wat sy kop teen die maanlig sal afets, daadwerklik anders lyk.
Die moeilikste deel van hierdie oefening was om foto's van myself te neem.

Mislikheid
Ek was 100% oortuig daarvan dat hierdie dag nooit sal aanbreek nie, maar dit het nou...
Een van die ouens wat saam met my werk het 'n hoër ontlastingsfrekwensie as ek. Gesonder en meer gereelde buikbewegings. Hy vat leeswerk saam as die porseleinperd sy naam skreeu, want "Die fout (let wel: DIE FOUT) wat mense maak is dat hulle te gou opstaan en nie wag vir die tweede en derde applous nie." Dit is wat hy vir my gesê het toe ek vir hom vra hoekom hy met 'n boek uit die toilet uit te voorskyn gekom het. Die fout sê hy vir my!
Ek het nou geen ander keuse as om my eetgewoontes van drie groot maaltye na ses groot maaltye te verander nie.

Sê gou ietsie vir ons
Vraag 1: Is kwytraak een woord of twee?
Vraag 2: Kan 'n ateïs teologie gaan swot en 'n goeie dominee word?
My antwoord op Vraag 2 (my antwoord op Vraag 1 moet voor die hand liggend wees) is dat dit wel moontlik is. Heel moontlik om die waarheid te sê. Ek dink dat enige persoon teologie kan gaan studeer en dit sien as 'n interessante kursus met 'n geskiedenis/filosofie tema en al die eksamens sal kan deurkom. Ek dink ook dit sal moontlik wees om met oortuiging te preek en praat oor iets waarin jy nie glo nie. Ek probeer nie sinies wees oor predikante nie, ek wonder regtig net of dit moontlik sal kan wees. Ek weet van my lesers is erkende teoloë en kenners van die teologie en sielkunde en filosofie. Ek sal julle insae waardeer.

Die Ewige Vrees
Nadat ek die bogenoemde 50/50-oomblik ingeneem en verteer het, het ek vorentoe gekyk en gekyk hoe vissies jubelend uit die water spring en bleshoendermannetjies met mekaar baklei oor die enigste wyfie in die dammetjie wat nie ver van ons agterdeur af is nie. Ek was net te dankbaar vir woorde dat ek deel van hierdie skepping kon wees. Dis toe dat die alarm afgaan in my spinnekoprisikominimeringsbeheersentrum. 'n Telegram verskyn in my brein met die woorde "Kyk op". Ek kyk op. En daar sit die etter. Reg bokant my kop teen die deurkosyn. Die grootste Huntsman-spinnekop wat ek nog in Australië gesien het. Dis basies hulle weergawe van die reënspinnekop in Suid-Afrika.
Ewe skielik was die deur waardeur ek sekondes terug rustig gesuiker het met my middagkoffie in my een hand, versper deur 'n ondeurdringbare, vrees-geskepte newel van beton. Gelukkig het ek 'n geel belt in Judo en is ek dus vertroud met die Judo-vooroor-rol terwyl jou oog nooit van die vyand afgehaal word nie. Jy mors ook niks van jou koffie nie. Nadat ek die veiligheid van die huis bereik het, kon Doom die res doen...
Ek kry toe hierdie prentjie en kan aan niks ergers dink nie. Die enigste silwer randjie waaraan ek kan dink is dat ek reeds op die porseleinperd sal sit met my broek om my enkels en dus sal ek nie die skok en vrees hoef te probeer inhou nie.

Temporary Business Entry (Long Stay) Visa Subclass 457
Die visa het darem Saterdag deurgekom en nou sit ek amptelik in my nuwe kantoor in my eie kantoor. Jammer vir die stilswye, dit was 'n kombinasie van huisverwisseling en geen rekenaartoegang vir 'n week of wat.
