"Phase 1:
Imagine that we are in year 2040. Since year 2025 super strong +3400 elo engines have been widely available. Users have linked these engines in clusters and super-clusters and used these clusters to develop a huge public opening data base using a special software SuPerIDeA.
Around 2030 something unfortunate began to happen: No engine loose when playing white in "safe mode". More specifically, single engines stopped loosing when playing white in "solid setting" with access to a solid-for-white online one-million terabytes opening data base.
This solid-for-white database contains mainly critical lines and the lines often run beyond move 40. With an efficient branching factor of 3 (benefiting from transpositions and only considering critical lines ) the number of critical lines in the data-base is roughly 3^40 = 10^19 = 10^6 terabytes.
The "solid-for white" opening book is far from "solid" from a human perspective. In fact at any giving opportunity white choose sharp lines which often leads to huge complications that typically fizzles out after a 10-15 moves in a tough middle game battle. Many lines in the solid-for-white opening book are deliberately inferior since they lead to positions that are easy to hold for white.
In 2035 a special price was offered to ANY chess playing entity that with black can win a game against a single solid engine with access to the special database. By year 2040 not a single cluster or chess playing entity have been able to claim the prize.
Phase 2:
We are now in year 2100. Major wars has miraculous been avoided! The computational power have increased and super computers are now using optics. The prize offered in year 2035 has still not been claimed. The internet clusters in year 2100 play with a staggering computing power of 10^9 of today's super-computers. Yet, none of these clusters have been able to beat a the solid "slow" year 2035 machine.
In year 2100 Computer chess is still thriving. However, computer chess with the ordinary rules starting from the usual standard position has been dead well before year 2050.
Phase 3:
We are now in year 2150. Classical chess has long been for dead for computer chess, however no-one has dared even begin to prove that white can hold the initial position. So some mathematicians decide to use computers to PROVE that its impossible to win the 2035-prize (i.e. its impossible to beat the solid year 2035 engine with black). Lots of computer generated papers are published and researchers are able to use computers to identify roughly 10^10 different types special types of positions. The conjecture is that white can hold any of these special positions unless the year 2035 engine claims otherwise. As an example it is conjectured that white rook +f,g,h pawn against black rook +e,f,g,h pawns is a draw if no clear advantage is detectable by the year 2035 engine. So in 2150 this and 10^10 other similar conjectures can be proved to ensure that white holds chess (i.e. prove that white is not in zug-zwang in the initial position).
Theorem: (year 2150) If each of the 10^10 highly plausible conjectures about various general types of positions are correct, then White is not lost in the initial position.
Phase 4:
We are now in year 2200. Many of the 10^10 conjectures had to be replaced by other more tractable ones. By a combination of ordinary mathematical proof techniques and some very deep strategy stealing arguments(*) (found by computer) it has been proved that White is not in zug-zwang and loose by force in the initial position. This has not solved chess, but it is a very important step in doing so.
Phase 5:
We are now in year 2500. By use of much deeper analysis but essentially using the same methods as already discussed it is proved that black can hold the initial position. The new main idea is an introduction of machine generated generalized strategy stealing arguments that apply to various families chess positions. Thus chess is solved in the same way as checkers is solved today.
Theorem (year 2500): Classical Chess is a draw with perfect play
Of course even in year 2500 there will be many chess positions the computers fail to understand! These position are however not relevant for the proof. Phase 4 and phase 5 might of course never happen, but i see no reason why the automated theorem proves of the future could not implement phase 4 and 5 (possibly much sooner than I suggested).
(*) The concept of strategy stealing can be explained by an example. Consider the following version of chess:
Modified chess Played like ordinary chess, but with the following modifications:
a) The player who make the last move wins. If the last move is mate this agrees with the current chess rules. Draws are not possible since the person who make the last move forcing a draw, win the game according to the rules of modified chess.
b) White (the first player to move) can pass on the first move, but otherwise the game is played as ordinary chess.
Theorem: White has a winning strategy in modified chess
Proof: We use the following two facts:
1) Each actual game has a winner (i.e. draws are impossible)
2) The initial position is symmetric so the special pass rule allow the first player can "steal" any black strategy
It follows from 1) that either white or black has a winning strategy. If black had a winning strategy, while could pass on his first move and then "steal" blacks wining strategy (by pretending to be black). This would guarantee white a win which contradicts the assumption that black has a winning strategy. Thus we conclude that white have a winning strategy.
Notice that the strategy stealing argument says absolutely nothing about how white should play (e.g. pass, c4,d4,e4 etc.)."

Report: Erratic Blower Motor Operation Due to Overheated Switch
Dodge Ram Wagon B250 Problem
5 Reports
Model Years Affected: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994
The blower motor may operate erratically and the blower switch operation has a sticky or mushy feeling, the detents almost non existent. Our technicians tell us that the blower switch should be removed and inspected for overheating. This is common if the blower motor is frequently operated on high speed as the current flow through the switch tends to melt internal the components. Also carefully inspect all of the switch connector terminals for discoloration due to overheating and replace as required. A poor electrical contact at the connector will also cause the switch to overheat.

They used to have SLS free version of this in "true mint" flavor. I need the SLS free otherwise I develope aphhthous ulcers monthly. I've failed to find an alternative from Toms, or other companies that doesn't cause the same problem.

It works nicely, but I dislike the peppermint taste. I'm also trying to avoid peppermint, as it's bad for acid reflux. Why don't "natural" vendors keep the flavors and perfumes out of their products?
Jun 11, 2012
Absolutely love it! Love the scent, low abrasiveness... And if you brush your teeth right, it will also whitens your teeth! Thank you for creating such perfect product for us, gluten intolerant and sensitive people (I am sensitive to EVERYTHING).

I heard so much about your old formula that I was iencouraged to give it a try. Unfortunately, within a week, one of my teeth was hurting so bad that I thought I had a problem and went to the dentist for it. Only to find that the tooth is fine, only very sensitive. Was forced to go back to a toothpaste (with floride...ugh) to take care of the sensitivity. Very disapointed.

I have to agree that I like the old formula better. Not only did I like the wintermint taste better, my teeth felt cleaner and were less sensetive. I too have had to change to another brand which just broke my heart.

This new formula is a terrible change from the Sensitive toothpaste you have been making for the past several years. I love the flavor of the old product (Sensitive Wintermint Toothpaste), but now I am looking for a new brand to use. I don't like this new sweet formula at all.
May 24, 2011
Works better than reg. sensitive tooth paste and it doesn't have artificial sweeteners like other toothpastes!

Works for me! I was having serious problems with hot and cold and sweet sensitivity. Since I started using "Toms Fluoride Free Sensitive Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth" my tooth sensitivities have gone away and stayed away! Even more important it is free of deadly Neurotoxin's such as ugh "Fluoride" 10 STARS!

NPR MusicShawn Camp is a Nashville songwriter who's had more success than most. He's released five albums of his own, and country music stars such as Garth Brooks, Josh Turner and George Strait have turned his songs into Top 10 hits. Sixteen years ago, Camp had his own shot at country music stardom, but his second album was shelved — until now. READ MORE from NPR Music All Music Review - "1994"When Shawn Camp cut his self-titled album for Warner/Reprise back in 1994, he was riding the coattails of two charting singles from his debut the previous year: "Never Felt So Good" and "Confessin' My Love." The artist, management, and industry insiders assumed the set would be a breakout. When it was turned over to the label, however, it was deemed "uncommercial," and a wave of changes was "suggested." (This was the era when Travis Tritt, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, and Martina McBride had broken wide open and were topping the charts.) Camp refused and the album was shelved. Fast forward to 2009 when Warner Music Nashville President/CEO John Esposito caught … READ MORE... Shawn in Country WeeklyIn 1994, Shawn Camp was a newly signed Reprise Records artist whose second album for the label was shelved over artistic differences. After becoming a sought-after songwriter for artists such as Garth Brooks and Josh Turner, Shawn caught the attention of Warner Music Nashville president John Esposito, who opted to release the album. The result is a snapshot of a country artist with an abundance of talent—including an ability for intelligent songwriting and a distinctive Texas country sound—but the wrong timing. Shawn is adept at turning common phrases on their heads, as in "Near Mrs.," a tribute to all the girls who never quite earned wifely status. In "My Frame of Mind," his vocal evokes all the ache and loneliness of George Jones, while his more upbeat material recalls Mark Chesnutt at times. The intriguing album closer, "The Grandpa That I Know," mourns the trappings of a funeral and the loss of a loved one, accented with the crackles of a record player and a mournful fiddle solo. After 16 years, the singer/songwriter finally gets his major-label due. READ & REVIEW... Camp's lost work revivedThe last time Shawn Camp worked with Warner Music, the staff wore beepers on their belts, Faith Hill was preparing her debut album and the company was pressuring the rootsy Camp to make music that sounded more like not-so-rootsy '90s hitmaker John Michael Montgomery. For 16 years, Camp looked back on that time with frustration and sadness. He signed with Warner with hopes of becoming a country star and made two albums (only one was released, and that one quickly went out of print) before things dissolved. Now, an improbable encounter with Warner Music's current chief, John Esposito, has resulted in those albums making it to market in the new century. READ MORE... Shawn Camp Finally Brings '1994' to LifeThe release party for Shawn Camp's new album, '1994,' took 16 years to come together. The singer-songwriter recorded the album as a followup to his critically acclaimed self-titled album, which had seen two single releases, 'Fallin' Never Felt So Good' and 'Confessin' My Love.' The head of Warner Bros. at the time told Shawn his second effort didn't sound enough like the wildly successful John Michael Montgomery album, and asked him to remove the acoustic sound by replacing them with electric guitars. Shawn politely declined and asked to be released from his contract. The album was put in the dead zone at the label and basically forgotten by everyone but Shawn. Last year, the new head of Warner Music Nashville, John Esposito, happened to be at the same music conference as Shawn and was very impressed when he heard him sing. Shawn took the opportunity to mention that he had, at one time, been signed to that label, and that there was an unreleased album hanging around somewhere in the back vaults. John pulled out both albums, liked what he heard, and called Shawn to make an offer that the singer couldn't refuse. John proposed to re-release the first album, which has been out of print for a decade, and at the same time release the one buried in the vault, which he appropriately titled after the year it was made. READ MORE... Shawn Camp | AS "Writer Of The Week"It's the kind of good fortune you love to see come to a top-shelf, stone-cold country-singing, hit songwriting, multi-instrumentalist who's earned a lot of respect in Nashville over the past couple decades without really becoming a household name beyond it. Shawn Camp is that songwriter, and Josh Turner's "Would You Go With Me" and George Strait's "River of Love" are just two examples of his handiwork. An impromptu jam session with the current head of Camp's former label John Esposito has led, at long last, to the release of his second album, 1994. The title's not meant to be retro; that's the year the album was finished, and shelved. It was worth the wait. Read on at AmericanSongwriter.com Shawn Camp in the News
Shawn Camp CD Release Partystory. Newly boss John Esposito was in this year's Leadership Music class and so was Shawn Camp. After Espo heard Shawn at a guitar pull, he was appropriately impressed. Shawn mentioned that he used to be on Warners. Espo listened to the Shawn Camp album. He loved it, as well as the one Shawn turned in that the company never released. Now Warners is taking the unprecedented step of releasing 1994, the record that has been in the can lo these many years, as well as re-releasing 1993's Shawn Camp. This has never happened before in Music Row history. READ MORE... Billy Currington - "Love Done Gone"Billy Currington playing his own Camp song. |

Genuine Mayoral Race Enlivens Debate
by Paul C. Clark
Staff Writer
write the author
October 11, 2012
Anyone hoping to name a clear winner at
High Point
's Thursday, Oct. 4 mayoral debate was bound to be disappointed. The candidates were too close on too many issues, and none crashed and burned.
High Point
's political spectrum, at least as reflected by its City Council, is narrow. Councilmembers to the extreme left or right don't seem to make it onto the City Council, or perhaps they just don't last long if they do. The meter might wobble, but it always seems to stabilize on center-right.
The fact that
High Point
's debates are almost always organized by the Republican Party is telling.
High Point
Republican Party Chairman Don Webb was the moderator of Thursday's debate.
High Point
has six wards and two at-large seats, in addition to the mayor's chair, and it has been governed for years by Democratic Mayor Becky Smothers and a coalition composed primarily of moderate Republicans. That will change in the November election because Smothers isn't running for reelection as mayor, but the mayoral candidates all said that
High Point
's main priority is jobs: bringing businesses to
High Point
, making it easier to start small businesses and improving the quality of life in
High Point
so that companies and people will want to come there.
The mayoral debate made almost certain what seemed likely from the beginning that two of the candidates, Tammy Holyfield and Matthew Fowler, are out $96. That's the filing fee for
High Point
City Council races.
Fowler who works for a temp agency in Greensboro but is part owner of an unlicensed real estate rental agency on the side didn't show up. That raises the odds that he is on the ballot, as some suspected, as a spoiler to draw black votes from Councilmember Bernita Sims, who, if she wins, will be
High Point
's first black mayor. Or maybe Fowler just had $96 burning a hole in his pocket.
Holyfield is intelligent, articulate, passionate and shows no signs of knowing how government works. Her answers were larded with business-motivation-speak (logically, since, like
High Point
University President Nido Qubein, she is a business motivational speaker).
Holyfield said she was moved to run for mayor by driving her son to school and seeing the pockets of greatness and devastation in
High Point
. She also said that she would like to see lower taxes. Beyond that, however, her answers devolved rapidly into "proactive approaches," "working smarter," "performance-management systems," "strategic unified visions" and "organizational strategic processes."
That leaves Councilmembers Sims and Chris Whitley and businessman Coy Williard, the three serious candidates.
Whitley and Sims did predictably well. Whitley has been on the City Council for 19 years; Sims for 10. Both have rotated through committee chairmanships, learned policy, reviewed budgets and represented
High Point
on state and national boards. Both know what makes city government tick. They were precise in their knowledge of the City Council's workings, the laws it operates under and its past decisions.
Sims said that, if you haven't sat at the dais, "You don't have the whole picture."
Williard's pitch was his business experience. The president of Williard-Stewart Inc. construction and Marketplace Management Inc., he has belonged to major old-line
High Point
business groups and is the candidate of Emerywood. He is also, reputedly, the favored candidate of Qubein, whose university has a Coy O. Williard Stadium.
Williard came across as self-effacing, cheerful and even amusing. He is likable and speaks well.
Williard made no bones about his lack of governmental experience, even joking about it.
After Webb asked the candidates about their lobbying experience in Raleigh and Washington, Williard, following Holyfield, who acknowledged that she had none, said, "I'll have to divert it a little too. I've never been in politics."
Williard had the most concrete plan for what he would do after the election if he won. That 10-point plan involves Williard meeting with the City Council,
High Point
City Manager Strib Boynton, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, past presidents of the
High Point
Chamber of Commerce, Guilford County School Superintendent Mo Green, schools, churches, ministries and retirement communities to learn what
High Point
After all those meetings, Williard said he would form a community advisory group to help decide what
High Point
should do
Sims' numbered plan was shorter, but more specific.
She said that the top three things she would address as mayor are streamlining the city's process for approving and giving code approval for new businesses, while trying to retain the city's core small businesses; get rid of blighted neighborhoods, with which
High Point
is richly endowed "That needs to go away;" and increasing the reach of the furniture market through the Internet, reaching business to let them know they don't have to send people to walk into brick-and-mortar buildings. Sims called it, "Getting the low hanging fruit, from the global perspective."
That might be counterproductive when it comes to bringing people and money into
High Point
, but at least would keep buyers feeding money into the furniture market.
Whitley pointed out that 2012 is likely to be a sea change for
High Point
it's the first time since 2003 that a sitting mayor hasn't run for reelection, and because of councilmembers stepping down, the City Council will have had two elections in a row with heavy turnover. This year alone, there will be a new mayor, at least one new at-large councilmember, and new councilmembers in Wards 1, 4 and 5. He argued that, under those circumstances, the City Council needs a mayor with experience and institutional memory.
Since 1992,
High Point
has had only two mayors, Smothers and Arnold Koonce, who Whitley called a great man and great leader. Whitley cited the extensive work he has done working with both mayors, including recent businesses that have moved to
High Point
or expanded their
High Point
operations, including Stanley Furniture and Polo Ralph Lauren. He also cited the investments
High Point
has made in infrastructure during his tenure that have brought businesses to
High Point
Whitley said, "
High Point
needs a mayor who has the proven leadership to keep
High Point
moving forward."
Webb asked the candidates what one thing they would change that the City Council has done in the last two years, if they don't agree with everything it has done.
Holyfield said she wants to see the city budget based on merit pay, or a "performance-management system."
"I don't agree with maybe some of the spending," she said. "And I don't agree with how funds are stewarded."
Sims said she did not regret any of the City Council's decisions. She said she disagreed with some of them, but supported the City Council's decisions once made. She said that
High Point
has been fiscally responsible. She said, "We were prepared for this recession where other people were not."

...continued from
page 1
Williard said
High Point
has the highest tax rate of any city in North Carolina with a population of more than 100,000. He said, "I do not believe there is any person in this room who would approve of having their taxes increased two years in a row."
The City Council has increased the property tax rate for two years running.
Williard attacked a statement of Sims' that was quoted in the June 23, 2012
High Point
Enterprise He said, "They admit that they did not take the time to review the budget and check the line items."
Sims in turn attacked Williard for misrepresenting what she had said by adding words not in her statement. Sims said her statement was actually a complaint that the City Council had not considered whether or not to cut services earlier in the budget process.
As quoted in the article, Sims said: "Very late in this process, we started talking about how the expenses needed to be decreased, we can run a tighter machine and we probably can. There's no doubt in my mind that somewhere in that budget we can do all these things. But it's incumbent on the council to sit down and put in the time that is required to make that happen."
Whitley said he has few regrets about City Council votes, except being unexcited by raising taxes or fees. He said the City Council has gone through every budget line by line and given department heads small bonuses when they found ways to cut money out of their budgets.
"It's been a tough year," Whitley said. "It's been a tough two years. However, the City of
High Point
has weathered this storm pretty well."
Williard and Whitley tangled at the end of the debate. Williard took the City Council to task for taking a long time to order the demolition of most of an apartment complex in the 500 block of Meredith Street owned by Schwarz Properties LLC of Asheboro, which it did on Oct. 1.
Williard said, "This council sat here for two years with a boarded up community that they would not pull the trigger on to tear those houses down."
Whitley hit back, saying Williard didn't understand the legal requirements to demolish private property, which include a one-year wait. He said, "You don't want to get the city involved in a lawsuit."
Much of
High Point
's current political discussion has centered around where to make future investments, and that discussion has created some strange bedfellows, as the debate showed.
The biggest divide was on whether to target money to
High Point
's northward expansion, or to push for investments in
High Point
's Core City Plan, which would redevelop eight of
High Point
's traditional neighborhoods.
Whitley said he is the only remaining councilmember who sat in on the original meetings with consultants to come up with the Core City Plan. But he is firmly associated with north
High Point
with Piedmont Centre, with the northern neighborhoods that have sprung up in recent years and with the businesses that have stretched far out Eastchester Drive. He has argued that the center of
High Point
has already moved irretrievably northward.
To a question from Webb about urban sprawl, Whitley repeated a variation of the argument: that past City Councils have, through annexation agreements, already created a new
High Point
. He said, "We know where the sprawl is going to be."
Whitley said that, since the
High Point
City Project is a registered nonprofit group, it should be weaned off the city government, "like all outside agencies."
That created the clearest distinction of the night, between Whitley, on the one hand, and Williard and Sims on the other. Both Williard and Sims strongly supported the Core City Plan.
Williard said he would take development wherever he could get it in this economy, and that "people are going to live where they want to live" but he also said the Core City neighborhoods should all be attacked at once. That would be a cohesive and expensive drive for redevelopment that recent City Councils haven't dared. Williard said that, as a community,
High Point
has to spend money to get the job done.
Sims argued that the expansion of the
High Point
city limits is going to slow. She pointed out that a local bill recently passed by the North Carolina General Assembly gives the Davidson County Board of Commissioners veto power over even voluntary annexation in Davidson County to the west, and that the airport overlay district and the noise cones from Piedmont Triad International Airport will limit the types of development to the northeast.
Sims said that eventually, concentrating on
High Point
's core will be the only way to develop in some areas. She said that doing so would take an absolutely committed City Council "It can't be a maybe" and a strong mayor. The later was a dig at Smothers, who has been iffy about the Core City Plan.
Sims argued that
High Point
should create shovel-ready opportunities for development, presumably like graded- and infrastructure-ready office and industrial parks other cities have prepared.
There is irony in Williard and Sims being on the same side in the Core City debate. Ward 1, which Sims represents, and Emerywood are as far apart politically as
High Point
gets. But black and white, rich and poor, like it or not, the residents of the old
High Point
center are tied together by geography and by the lifestyle limitations caused by the city center's decay.
Sims, a Democrat, would have a harder fight on her hands in an election with a primary. But in a five-candidate race with no primary, and with the near-certainty that she will sweep Wards 1 and 2, her odds have always seemed best this year.
Sims said after the debate that all but one of
High Point
's mayors have come from Emerywood, the traditional neighborhood of factory and mill owners. Whitley agreed. That's a hard statistic to prove, but it's true that Emerywood has had an outsized influence on
High Point
politics. But most of Emerywood's factories and mills are gone, and even its population is not as monolithic as it once was.
Williard is Emerywood's man. If Emerywood votes for him en masse, and he can draw votes from other areas of
High Point
, he might have a chance but it's hard to see where those outside votes would come from.
Whitley is both the most experienced candidate and the representative of the
High Point
that has sprung up between Eastchester Drive and I-40.
The question dogging Whitley's campaign is how many people in north
High Point
actually consider themselves High Pointers, how many of those will come out to vote and how many of those who vote will make it to the City Council races at the end of the ballot.
Smothers later said she was encouraged by the makeup of the audience that almost filled the City Council chamber. "It was one of the first I've seen in years that wasn't totally populated by family and friends of candidates," Smothers said. "There were actual voters there."
Smothers said she was concerned that some candidates were unfamiliar with municipal services.

"As I said in the elevator going down with some folks, I've never been to a forum in which there was so little reference to police and fire, basic services that are so important to citizens," she said. "I don't want to be unfair, but I think there's a lack of understanding of what government is about. I think that's sad."

So, this was our second Edcamp, the first being Edcamp Fraser Valley in December. Thank you to everyone who participated, first-timers especially, having new voices in the mix is what keeps it fresh! It was also great to see familiar faces again and continue some past conversations. If only edcamp43 hadn't been on the same day!
We attended sessions entitled "How can we boost buy in and innovation with faculty and staff?", "What Must Stay and What Must Go in Education?", "Rigour and High Expectations in the 21st Entury Classroom" and "Integrating and Assessing the 7 Cs of 21st Century Learning" Notes from these and all the other sessions are available here so I won't comment too much more, but let you read them yourselves.
My strongest takeaways immediately were:
Buy-in is all about creating a safe, friendly space into which you can invite people.
Uptake is faster if people (teachers) feel safe to take risks and make mistakes.
Innovation should come from changes made in response to a learning issue.
Rigour applies to the learning process, not a product.
21st Century skills are what make academic learning useful.
If we want 7Cs (communication, collaboration, etc) to be given time, weight we need to be able to discuss, assess, give feedback, measure them.
Increase dialogue between secondary and post secondary. How can we broaden the scope of info (other than just %) that HS provides for Univ. admissions so that HS teachers, students do not feel their main driver is final Grade 12 letter grade?
Deeper thinking is always multi-disciplinary.
Elementary school is not only highschool prep., HS is not only Univ. prep. learning needs to be about NOW.
Learning is always about relationships.
The great thing is that the conversations will continue on twitter, through blogs and hopefully, most importantly, in our schools' classrooms and staffrooms. As we integrate these ideas we will continue to reflect on our conversations and practices and insights will continue to develop.
Last thoughts:
- Invite at least one colleague to join twitter
- Show someone how to set up a blog page
- Invite someone else at your school into your classroom to share ideas

The beautiful city of San Francisco is much the same as last year – and the San Francisco LinuxWorld looks much the same, with many of the same exhibitors and guests. I'm even starting to recognize some of the show staff. From what I've seen so far, this show could almost be last year's show, except for one thing. I have only been here for half a day, and I've heard one term more already than I heard it at all the other LinuxWorlds I've ever attended. That term is power consumption. I'm not talking about power management – like how long your computer can operate on its battery. I'm talking about the problem of reducing power consumption, as in using less to save money. Most people generally believe it is better to conserve energy, but such things never used to get much notice from major IT vendors. The talk used to be about reliability and getting the maximum capacity for the minimum expense. More recent arguments have centered on saving floor space and lowering maintenance overhead. Since when did IT get so interested in the environment? A combination of forces certainly helped bring this issue into focus. Rising energy costs have certainly played a role, but maybe there is something else going on.

Science Defiance
On Friday, a colleague of mine sent me a note saying: "check this, they're having an anti Scientology demonstration on Saturday, isn't that a good photo opportunity for PDP?" I was a bit doubtful, but today the weather was nice, it was in my old neighborhood (Les Batignolles), so I decided to give it a shot. And I did! Let's face it, I don't think the Church of Scientology may be threatened in any way by these people, but it still makes a cool photo!
86 comments:
I was just checking in for the first time today and what is for now, yesterday's comments. Voila, Eric posted early today! Nice to have you join the GFclub , Michael!
I don't understand what the masks have to do with anti- Scientology.
I can't keep my opinion to myself, and for what I do know of them(an old friend joined), it's wierd. That is all I will say about them. And I would love to say more.
Bye for now,
CDG and LHR, here I come.Petrea: I looked up xenu.net, too, and found it quite a hoot! Most religions/cults are peppered with beliefs and practices that make you wonder whether we humans are - as we often claim to be - the "rational animal", but Scientology is positively chock full of them!!
It is disturbing, though, that protesters feel the need to conceal their identity, as this has a tendency to make them seem like the villains of debate and not its heroes; which, for many, they undoubtedly are. On the other hand, it does suggest their fear of retribution, which may or may or may not be justified.
It's all a bit sinister, really.Petrea: I think the sign of a good discussion about religion is when it shifts gear from the singular to the plural (religions rather than Religion), but PDP is probably not the proper forum for a discussion of this charged and complex topic.
Eric's photo, however, is by no means innocent with respect to the issue of freedom of speech; which, it has to be said, should also be respected by faiths (such as Scientology) which unabashedly claim their right to religious tolerance in the face of having, to say the least, dubious foundations.
That said, each to his own...- AnonymousMarch 16, 2008 at 3:42:00 AM GMT+1
They wear masks because Scientology has a history of harassing its critics thus they must conceal their identities. The reason that Scientology is the current target of this group, Anonymous, is because of Scientology's attempt to censor the internet. And, yes, Scientology is scared of them. Link

nice blog!
http://tradingtennis.blogspot.com How sweet of you Rose. We should meet there perhaps next time you are going. It's about an hour from where i am. Petrea and Monica, talking of the heavy rain, i awoke to a deep, wavy lake instead of fields at the back of my house yet again. There's a deep drop so far i am dry but it shows what a downpour it was! Petrea i went to bed at about 1 am so that was the time when you asked, but by then, i was halfway up the stairs in my nightdress, yawning, carrying my book and candle.
ReplyDeleteAt the first sight I thought it was les Guignols de l'info!(no link between les guignols and the scientologists, of course).
I don't really know scientology, we're less concerned than American people are...I'm maybe wrong but it's not a subject which affects French people in particular.
Rose, to me, politics is a worse discussion subject. ;)
"i was halfway up the stairs in my nightdress, yawning, carrying my book and candle."
Countess Lynn the First, don't you have electricity in your Cheltenham Castel?
I notice that Michael is really more mature and modest with the GF price than we are girls! He just took his price and went to bed, far from the "I'll wear a gorgeous robe and wonderful sparkling jewels, everybody will applause and scream my name" of Lynn! ;)Guille! I'm not sure i went so far as to say people would scream my name, did i? LOL !! You made me laugh out loud again. The gorgeous robe and wonderful sparkling jewels can stay with a big welcome though...:)
He is modest about his prize online only. In private, you can bet he's jumping around his apartment whilst throwing Monica's chocolates into his mouth, punching the air with his fist, shouting "Yesss!"
No, we all live in castles in England, Guille, none of us has electricity, preferring candles for the sheer romance of it and our men fight duels over we ladies on the lawn at dawn whilst we watch from our towers, clapping delightedly and looking marvellous. Pretentious lot that we are. ;)he he self-esteem or self-control? Throwing those chocs into his mouth, if only Eric had been around with his camera. By the way Michael, have you seen my shop NOW? Its shelves are stocked high now! Pop into Zazzle and see, i think you'll be even MORE proud of me now, if that's possible. he he (though i could still do with some help)...
ReplyDeletelol no it isn't. Typical huh. Try this one.
Lynn's shop!Yes, typical :-)
Let's try this one just to be sure...

I agree with Maggie!
By the way, "Scientology" is NOT science! Oh goodness i'll have to, won't i. I just dread it taking up too much time that's all. Plus my son at uni told me not to, as he'd have to link me or something and i might see the antics he's getting up to, like bare-bottom shots at uni. Sigh. Oh well it's not like i've not seen his bottom before, albeit 19 years ago. Sigh again. Okay i must do it. I'll try to this week. I suppose you'll all want to 'buy' me then? Sigh once again.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be suspicious of anything that Tom Cruise is a zealot for. He is just plain "weird"!! Did you ever see the clip of him "freaking out" on Oprah? What a freak.
I was accosted by Mormons in Paris once[in French of course]and I was absolutely shocked. The last thing I expected in the Latin Quarter were Mormons proselytizing. As if "Starbucks" in Paris wasn't enough!? LOL!! ;-)lol Tonton Flaneur i saw that too. I must say he seems frighteningly happy about things. You just...wouldn't want to please him would you really. Mind you, he was decidedly DISpleased when someone squirted him with a water pistol in London. Did you see THAT? lol well it's not behaviour i would like or condone either, but he went totally over the top in response i thought.

Some experts don t even think you need to be very aggressive in adjusting hormone levels during pregnancy. We re over 2 year TTC and passed all tests with flying colours. Cycles are clockwork. We are bypassing low tech and going straight to IVF. 50% success rates and even higher justifies the costs to us. We did all the Mucinex, green tea, acupuncture, etc etc crap and none of it worked. I think everyone has to find the path that works for them. I hope you are all successful as long as I don t have to know it when it works or see you pregnant on the street. You know how it is, right? Femara works by suppressing the production of estrogen. Thus, creating the effect of producing more hormones that work solely for ovarian stimulation. These hormones namely LH and FSH help in both the processes of ovulation induction and superovulation. As a result, Femara has become widely accepted as an infertility drug.- AnonymousApril 4, 2012 at 7:09:00 AM GMT+2

Beyond marriage: Gay couple sees new measure as acceptance
By CARRIE RODRIGUEZ
Kirkland Reporter Editor
November 16, 2012 · Updated 3:17 PM
While thousands of same-sex couples in Washington are planning their lavish wedding days – some as soon as Dec. 9 – Shaun Kelly and his partner are in no hurry.
"I've got a feeling that it's going to be very busy in the gay community. I don't think there's going to be a free weekend on the gay calendar for at least a year," said Kelly on the passage of Washington's Referendum 74. "Everybody is just going to buy bulk amounts of toasters and wedding gifts. It's something that I really want but I don't want to think about it too much until it happens."
In fact, for Kelly and his partner, Chris McDaniel, R-74 goes far beyond weddings and even marriage. It's about children – and being accepted.
"You don't go down on bent knees and ask somebody to be in a civil union," said Kelly, 44, who campaigne d for R-74. "It just makes a big difference in what people are allowed to do and how it makes people feel more accepted in the community. That's the biggest part of it for me, is just acceptance and the ability to be seen as being a regular person."
He added that the measure will also allow children of gay couples and gay children themselves to feel accepted.
R-74 asked people to approve or reject a state law legalizing same-sex marriage that legislators passed earlier this year. Gov. Chris Gregoire signed that law in January but it was placed on hold pending the election's outcome.
Washington state voters approved gay marriage during the general election, joining Maine and Maryland as the first states to pass same-sex marriage by popular vote. Six other states — New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont — and the District of Columbia already allowed gay marriage, but those states' laws were enacted either by lawmakers or court rulings.
Same-sex couples in Washington can apply for marriage licenses as early as Dec. 6 and can use those licenses starting Dec. 9.
Kelly and McDaniel, who live in Kirkland's North Juanita neighborhood with their two 11-year-old sons, met on an online dating site more than two years ago. McDaniel said when he met Kelly and they discovered that they had sons the same age, it was like "winning the lottery."
Kelly, who is currently still married to his wife, realized he was gay late in life. He came out in 2009 and met McDaniel about a year later when he was separated from his wife.
"One of the biggest things is I've never been hated before," said Kelly, noting his son took the transition very well. "I've always been a pretty well liked person and all of a sudden I'm hated by a huge portion of the country and to some degree the world. That was a real eye opener for me."
This caused Kelly to put his divorce on hold and get involved with the R-74 campaign, volunteering several hours each week to call mostly undecided voters. The England native also focused on getting his citizenship – which he achieved on Sept. 19 – so that he could vote in this "pivotal election," he said.
During his campaigning, Kelly says he made several calls to voters who opposed R-74. He said some calls were "nasty," including one call where someone told him: "I will find your mother and I will slit her throat in her sleep," Kelly recalled. "But then I did have some people who were against it but weren't mean. They just have this fixed notion in their head that the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin and that sinners should not be allowed to do what they want to do and don't have equal rights."
He said that the campaign has also seen support from the religious community.
He and McDaniel felt this support when they pulled their boys out of school in January and went to Olympia when Gregoire signed the initial same-sex marriage bill.
"It was awesome – it was just people supporting each other," said Kelly. "They were not expecting to get anywhere near as many people as they got there. They'd never seen that much of a turn out for a bill signing before."
McDaniel, age 42, said when voters approved R-74 two weeks ago, he was amazed and didn't expect it would happen in his lifetime.
"There's so many things that I can tell you that have been a continual slap in the face. I didn't choose this lifestyle," said McDaniel, who came out when he was 17.
For example, after he bought his first house, he decided to add his former partner to the title and he had to pay an excise tax.
"It was just such a slap to have to pay this extra $2,300 that my neighbor wouldn't have had to pay," he said. "These are the kinds of things that people don't think about. There's something like 2,000 benefits that automatically come from saying the words 'I'm married.'"
He said the new measure makes him feel valued.
"This is such a gay reference, but I have to add I feel like Sally Field when she won the Oscar and she was like, 'you liked me, you guys really, really liked me!' It was a true validation by my peers, it was so overwhelming – I'm emotional now just thinking about it," said McDaniel.
Of course, the couple has also thought about their wedding day, which will come – some day.
Kelly says he envisions a small wedding ceremony with a honeymoon, perhaps in Niagara Falls.
"He's got to propose to me first – I don't want to do the asking this time," said Kelly, laughing. "He knows he's going to have to pull all the stops out."
McDaniel says there will be a lot of crying, especially from Kelly, and he looks forward to "showing our commitment to one another in front of our friends and family and children and being able to celebrate that."

Special to the Daily World
A private memorial was held for family, close friends and invited guests before the 2 p.m. funeral service at Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills. King's brother Paul, a minister in their Jehovah's Witnesses faith, was the only speaker; he urged others to examine their own lives and use them for good.
King was buried in Los Angeles. At a news conference before the funeral, Sharpton paid tribute to him. The Rev. Jesse Jackson was expected to attend but did not appear at the services.
"Rodney King was a symbol of civil rights and he represented the anti-police brutality and anti-racial profiling movement of our time," the Rev. Al Sharpton of the National Action Network said in a statement prior to the funeral. "It was his beating that made America focus on the presence of profiling and police misconduct.
"I recently spent time with him on the release of his new book just a couple of months ago and he did my radio and TV show. Through all that he had gone through with his beating and his personal demons he was never one to not call for reconciliation and for people to overcome and forgive. History will record that it was Rodney King's beating and his actions that made America deal with the excessive misconduct of law enforcement," Sharpton said.
Rodney King, whose beating by Los Angeles police in 1991 was caught on camera and sparked riots after the acquittal of the four officers involved, was found dead in his swimming pool Sunday, authorities and his fiancee said. He was 47.
Police in Rialto, Calif., received a 911 call Sunday, June 17, from King's fiancee, Cynthia Kelly, about 5:25 a.m., said Capt. Randy De Anda. Responding officers found King at the bottom of the pool, removed him and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation until paramedics arrived. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital, police said.
There were no preliminary signs of foul play, De Anda said, and no obvious injuries on King's body. Police investigation said there was no foul play and King's body was autopsied.
Kelly -- who was a juror in King's lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles in 1994 -- told police King was an "avid swimmer," but that she was not, De Anda said. She reported the two had just had a conversation and she went inside, but came back out after hearing a splash and saw him at the bottom of the pool.
King's beating after a high-speed car chase and its aftermath forever changed Los Angeles, its police department and the dialogue on race in America.
"I am saddened by the death of Rodney King," said Bernard Parks, a Los Angeles city councilman who served as LAPD chief from 1997 to 2002. "Although his beating will forever be thought of as one of the ugliest moments in the history of the city of Los Angeles and its police department, the victimization of Mr. King and the circumstances that followed created an atmosphere that allowed LAPD and the city to make historic disciplinary and community-based reforms that have made for a better police department and a better city as a whole."
The service and dedication ceremony for King was held at 2 p.m. at the Forest Lawn Hall of Liberty in Hollywood Hills, according to a statement from the family. King's three daughters established the Rodney Glen King Memorial Fund through Bank of America in LA County.
King was awarded a $3.8-million settlement following the police beating and the riots, but the money and fame brought him little solace. He had some run-ins with the law and as of April he said he was broke. He had children and he had grandchildren that he had to help support, and when you start dwindling down that $3 million, it goes quickly, according to reports.
