Opposites

Horton - Faro Perella, Huesca Individual Championship 2008, the game from yesterday's posting - the position in the photo was that after White's ninth move in the game given below. The position in the diagram, however, is that arising after 42...Bd7-c8. White, who had managed to make something out of a very drawn ending indeed, proceeded to play 43.Kc6 and press his clock, at which point we became

You've heard that opposites attract. You've probably also heard that like attracts like. So which one is it? It can't be both. Can it? Actually it is both. The reason why is because the concept of opposites is an illusion.You have probably heard it many times before. You've heard the stories of people who had arguments or even physical altercations when they first met. Funny enough and often enoug

by: Jan MichaelsI've come to the conclusion (and it's only taken me 50 years) that Opposites DO Attract!My Girlfriend for example ... we have two very different sleeping environments. I like the window open while I sleep and, at some point in the night, a sheet as a blanket.Give me a fan at the window blowing fresh cool (my girlfriend said to add "cold") air gently swirling (she says "Windtunnel")

My ‘silent’ son has a sudden burst of chat. I beam as he chats, as it’s one of those monologues that I don’t want to staunch. Interruption generally equates to stall. I know more facts about Pokemons that I could ever once imagined. I am so impressed with his ability to sit stationary on a chair whilst his legs pump beneath him, a performance worthy of any cyclist on the Tour de France

The Monday Artday challenge word this week is “opposites”. Bewitched’s Samantha Stephens was a typical late-1960’s housewife. She was demure and straight-laced. She had a loving husband, Darrin, a hothead who was incompetent in his job. She had an adorable daughter who followed in her mom’s footsteps and an infant son. Her mother, Endora, who was estranged [...]

Is there an opposite to absolute zero? Maybe.

The majority of Sonic Youth fans find the unusual pairing a bit ironic, but mostly rather tragic. This, despite the fact that those who helped choose the songs are very much among the anti-corporation dogma, including Beck, Eddie Vedder and Radiohead. The same cannot be said for Portia di Rossi.

The statement opposites attract is intriguing. Finding someone who is completely unlike you in every way but still happy with themselves. But this is not always the case. I believe that couples have to have something that they like doing together and not just in a horizontal position. Basically, their morals must be the same [...]

So I had two half days today at a local high school and the classes were complete opposites.I could not find the first teacher's note so we just watched Ocean's Eleven to pass the time. The kids really enjoyed the movie and I enjoyed their good behavior.If the first class were angels, then the second class were devils. Their teacher warned me about their bad behavior but she actually underestimated how bad they were. All they had to do was some Sudoku games but getting them to do even that was difficult. They had trouble staying on task, in their seats, and off the tables. No to mention the noise level, which was horrible. I have had elementary school students better behaved than that class. So their bad behavior made for a very long and horrible day in the trenches.

I could write a whole book about my parents and my relationship with them. Actually, I could write three or four books. One about my dad, one about my mom, one about them, and one about them and me. At least. That doesn't even count my two brothers and one sister, and how they fit into this family picture. But for now, I will try to condense just a little bit of the essence of my relationships with my parents into this small space.First of all, there was love. Before I say anything else, I will state unequivocably that my parents loved me, and I loved them. They are both gone now, my dad from pancreatic cancer in 1990, and my mom just last July (2006), her body and spirit just flat worn out with the ravages of type 2 diabetes. I miss them both every day, but also continually feel their presence in my life. How such two totally different people ever got together--and stayed together--continues to be a mystery to me. I suppose you can attribute it to the 50's, to small town life, to an

Since I've never explained the title of my blog, livejournal and website before, this is just a blurb regarding the significance of Walking On Fire.I choose the name Walking On Fire in consideration of my longstanding obsession with the idea (R' Adin Steinsaltz, In The Beginning) that:The purpose of creation and of our being in it is to integrate the worlds of tohu and tikun into a third order of existence much greater than either tohu or tikun of itself.Supporting this endeavor, R' Aryeh Kaplan on Sefer Yetzirah 3:2 writes:One commentator states that the letters AMSh אמש contain the mystery through which one can walk on fire [1]. The reason for this may be because these letters [2] have the power to reconcile opposites. It is possible that Rav Zeira made use of this technique to prevent his feet from being burned in fire, as related in the Talmud [3].Given that my blog's purpose is to reconcile the opposites of tohu and tikun in my own nature, I decided "walking on fire" would
