this is really hard to say

ive been wondering if there REALLY is any good techno lately
and what makes it good..

to me good music at a rave is something that makes you happy
gives you energy, makes you want to dance

it doesnt matter how commercial or how simple it is
as long as you want to dance to it

there are times when you just dance to dance and then
there are times when you are tired and sitting down
or something and a song comes on and you just HAVE
to dance

to me that is good music

as to what i would put on a tape...
i never end up finding out what the songs are that make me dance

        One way to get some more details would be to call

Bill's Records and Tapes
8136 Spring Valley Road
Dallas, Texas ?????
(214)-234-1496

and ask for Bill (who is almost always there during business hours).  Bill, the
gentleman who told me about the Arthur Brown's current whereabouts, is a friend
of Mr. Brown; Mr. Brown recently gave him a book (whose title I do not know).

        I posted an FYI article about Bill's Records and Tapes a little while
ago in rec.music.industrial: a quick look at it might help you if you are
interested in calling over there.

Hey Hey Hey its .....


I was thinking of going to the Rave in Milwaukee on This Sat. night.
I want to go mostly for the chill-out room. I'm too into dancing
but maybe this will change.  Well I DO like moshing at Death
Metal Concerts but only death concerts.  My question is this.
Raves have been called these new hiipie tune out things. The only 
hippie thing about me is my longish hair(still growing tho) and a few other
illegal things ;). I want to know how to dress for such an an event.
If had my choice I would just go comfortable like shorts and a sweatshirt.
I'm afraid I'd be labled as some frat idiot which could not be farther from
the truth.  I just don't want to draw attention to myself. Know what I
I'm getting at.

BTW - The Orb rules.

Trav.

Also I would not be able to make it there until maybe 12 or 12:30
and from what I've read here this is just fine.Comments?. At least
when it has not been busted.

GETTING YOUR GOALS
   --Robert McGarvey


People who have goals achieve far more than those who don't, and
those have written goals achieve most of all.

We are functionally akin to bicycles:  Unless we're moving
forward toward an objective, we will fall--and fail.

Give me a stock clerk with a goal, and I'll give you a man who
will make history.  Give me a man without a goal and I'll give
you a stock clerk.

"I want to be wealthy" or "I want to be famous."  Those may be
wishes and may be strongly held, but they are not goals.

If you find that you can't measure it, rate it, or describe it,
you can probably forget it as a goal.

A lack of clarity of intent is high on the list of causes for
failure to achieve goals.  If you really want to succeed, be
clear about your intent.

Be absolutely, positively  100 percent sure what you want to do
and what you seek to accomplish.

As a growing person, your needs and values will be forever
evolving.  Consequently, you have to reevaluate and often modify,
discard, or replace some of your goals.

Most people fail in their goal-setting because they're just
thinking about their goals.  They're not committed to them. 
Thinking is not commitment.  Writing it down is.

But while the power of written goals is indisputable, many of us
will not commit them to paper.  The chief block is fear:  We're
afraid of taking on a goal because of the consequences of 
failure.

Desire sparks activity, which burns up excess adrenaline in the
system, keeps the minds busy, and the hope of achievement alive. 
Inactivity breeds despondency, brings forth dark imaginings, and
distorts situations out of all proportion of reality. When fear
begins to beg for attention, the winner gets busy and the things
regain their proper perspective.

Goals become the action plans and game plans that winners dwell
on in intricate detail -- knowing that achievement is almost
automatic when the goal becomes an inner commitment.

There have been a few approaches to this, one of the most notable recent ones
being published in Stephen Covey's '7 Habits of Effective People,' in which
he reviews trends in about 200 years of self-improvement literature in the
United States, and tries to extract the essential characteristics and what the
methods are trying to do.   He spends a lot of time comparing personality-based
appraoches with what he distinguishes as character-based approaches.  His
premise seems to be one of 'universal principles,' appearing in all major
religions (and thus _non_denominational_ in a sense) which individuals can 
either align their lives with or break themselves against.  

His final result is a mission and goal-oriented 7-part model that appears to 
me to do a relatively good job of categorizing and systematizing the various 
kinds of self-improvement approach, especially considering how vast the field
can be.  He deals a bit with time and priority management, from a number of
angles, and with the relation between improving ourself and interacting 
effectively with others.   I recommend his work at least as a starting place.

Actually, I think that was '7 Habits of Highly Effective People,' now that
I think of it, in case anyone was looking for this.

To avoid butchering the model from memory (as I did the title :-)), I'll dig

I think yer both nuts. I enjoy nothing better than having both feet up
at about head level, in front of a fine view, on a beautifully warm,
sunny Perth day (like most days of the year) with the certainty that
there is nothing I have to do. Only wish I had the money to be able to
put that into practice. Frustrating thing is; I'm so damn lazy, I'll
_never_ have that kind of money!
Ain't human diversity wonderful, I luv yus all.

Seriously though, Holly, there is a trick, if you're ever stuck in a
situation where you have to talk to someone you don't know - and we
all get into that sometimes. Remember FOR : Family, Occupation,
Recreations. Ask them questions about those three things: "Are you
married/in a relationship/ live with your folks/ do you have any
kids/grandchildren? What do you do for a living? What does that
involve? Do you enjoy it? What do you like to do when you're not
working? Listen to them as if you were really interested, keep them
talking about themselves, use their name; they'll leave thinking you
are the best conversationalist and the nicest person they've met in a
long time.
	All the best,
			Hugh

EDUCATION


1.  Read widely with understanding; don't limit yourself to one 
     field.

2.  Develop your communications skills so that your education 
     will be of benefit to others.

3.  Don't become institutionalized; keep studies in 
     perspective.

4.  Balance academics with cultural activities; learn to 
     appreciate the best the arts have to offer.

5.  Focus on learning how to live as well as how to make a  
     living.

6.  Stay with the basics;  keep your educational 'feet'  firmly
     planted.

7.  Understand the basis and background of what you learn; don't

EDUCATION consists not only in the sum of what a man knows,

view, a man's education must be measured in terms of the 
soundness of his judgement of people and things, and in his power
to understand and appreciate the needs of his fellow-men, and to
be of service to them.  The educated man should be so sensitive
to the conditions around him that he makes it his chief endeavor
to improve those conditions for the good of all.

*  turnover lower for proteges than for those without mentors

*  mentors develop leaders




Planned Mentoring Programs:                       

      one organization trained a group of mentors for new hires; after three
      years, only one person in protege group left - compared to historical
      average of six lost in first three years for new hires


D. How to Become a Mentor:

What you can do:

*  join a planned mentoring group, if your organization has one

*  influence your organization to start such a group

How to become a mentor:

      resentment by protege's boss

*  practice mentoring skills:
      alert protege to new opportunity
      demonstrate trust

*  express confidence

*  give a challenging task

*  give career counseling and political tips

*  offer to open doors

*  call attention to future success

*  provide protege with an increasingly broad picture of organization

*  provide increased visibility and contacts


E. How to find a mentor:

*  look for someone you respect and trust, who knows what you want to learn

*  try to establish a relationship
    make yourself visible in a favorable light to 
      potential mentor
      take initiative to establish mentor relationship 
      set up on-going contact
      take on a high risk, high visibility task 
      learn to recognize overtures made by possible mentors 
      start acting as a mentor to someone with less experience than yourself

The book has good material, but it's not a very good book.  The reason the
material is good is because it works, but the depth of the material in
"Instant Rapport" is fairly shallow in my opinion.  You would be better off
reading one of Robbins books or a book by Bandler, Grinder, or Andreas.
