While in their office, I refused to submit myself to the auditing demo, and in fact I laughed out loud at it the moment I saw the two empty vegetable cans one was supposed to hold while answering the silly questions posed by some sincere looking youngster. I thought at the time they measured nothing more than the amount of sweat on one's hands, much like a polygraph test. This was in pre-personal-computer age, but it looked as hokey then as a Japanese B science fiction movie. I ended up arguing with another young punk at his desk nearby for half an hour. To anyone with a bare minimum of street smarts, the whole thing is laughable.
Not quite accurate. (Pretty close though!)
I was kinda shocked meself, the first couple of times I watched, after laughing until tears flowed.
And where is the town of Trementina on these maps? I was there many years ago and took pictures of the ruins, an old Frontier Times, or was it Old West, had an article about it.
For a good laugh...

They're very paronoid. It's part of the religion IMHO...
Some wierd stuff near Trementina in this aerial photo on Terraserver -- including what looks like an airstrip.
(You might try inverting the photo -- to put the light coming from the top -- to defeat the "moon crater illusion" that can make streams and roads look like they run along ridge tops.)
Kinda like TROP.
The only difference is all the male members seem to be geldings.
Some of Rice's "features" are purely natural geological structures. (BTW, starting from my link, you can pan around [try to the northwest] and zoom in on things -- and make up your own mind.)
In a few minutes of browsing, I saw nothing really unusual -- except for the pair of diamond-centered, interlocked circles...
Did you catch the credits for that show?
Executive Producer: John Smith
Producer: John Smith
Writers: John Smith, Jane Smith, John Smith
Animators: John Smith, John Smith, Jane Smith, John Smith, John Smith
Music: John Smith, John Smith
That sort of thing.
The "diamond centered interlocked circles" are the registered trademark of the "Church of Spiritual Technology" -- Ironically NOT a church at all, but a corporation named as a church. CST owns all the assets of Scientology, through a weird network of corporate shell companies designed to acquire IRS tax deductions (through a "secret" 1993 agreement), and CST's official address is a PO Box!
OTOH, I probably was expecting a rambling frame "church" -- surrounded by JBTs in military vehicles -- and with, perhaps, flame and smoke pouring skyward...
These kooks are a Jim Jones Kool Aid party waiting to happen.
(Hey I just made up a catchy phrase, that might be my motto for the Hillary 2008 campaign!)
After a stroke, and in deteriorating health, if he wants to put out a couple of last works, and his fans want to buy them, that's cool by me
Exactly. He was an extraordinary man.

Actually not Elron's. That's the Church of Scientology - the active Scientology, but really just a front.
This is The Church of Spiritual Technology, created by the Guardians, which actually controls the assets.
Nah, I attend Our Lady of Perpetual Aggression.
Yeah, and that is only half funny considering the numerous lawsuits scientology has filed against people.
"KRQE News 13 will air the story as planned tonight at 10 p.m..

LOL!!! After all the above threats they simply respond with that line. Fantastic! Gave them the finger perfectly.
