A note about notes :) I seem to recall from my police training that you should get a specific type of notebook. It should be bound in a manner that makes it obvious if pages have been removed. NO spiral notebooks, NO perforated paper books, and NO filler sheet notebooks. This is done so no one can claim you have "tampered" with your notes by removing pages or editing them later. You should feel free to clear up ambiguities in your notes in another format or create online reports from them.. but ALWAYS keep the original notebook intact. Also, don't put any personal information in them. If you meet someone at the picket and they want to give you their phone number or address for you own private concerns, write it on something else. If you notebook is used to document a crime, then everything in it will be seem by the attorneys for the defense. Every phone number WILL be called, every address WILL be visited and every url WILL be browsed in attempt to find anything that could be used to impeach your testimony. You can consider yourself forewarned.

Sorry, I meant pure helium as opposed to "balloon gas", which is 50/50 helium and air. The other thing you can get or make is "inflatables" (reindeer or whatever :-> ) which are simply a thicker unstretched PVC skin put together with "plastic cement" glues and inflated with helium or helium/air to fly. Might be better than either stretched balloons or binliners for holding gas.

How about covering it with Kling Rap! (Cling Wrap - you know, that clear stuff). That way you can remove it after a Scieno Spray Job. The wrap is usually about 300mm wide.

True, so very true. In the case of Cedars though, I believe the power lines in LRH Way were moved underground as part of the facelift project.
One potential problem with extremely tall picket signs is that they are harder to defend. Two clams could easily knock it down and do whatever mischief they wished to the signage -- 10 feet away from you. You'd have no leverage to regain control.
- NoScieno accepts NO mail (spam-bounce). Try "thynkr"
The surest source of proof in an unfounded belief is the belief itself.

You have to admit wgert that running out and spraying paint on a sign is just a little stupid given Scientology's attempt at PR which they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on only by kicking their successes down by unintelligent overt responses like that. Most people would not have given much thought to Henson and his lonely sign, but Keith was smart enough to know that the Scienos would respond in some crazy & melodramatic way.
And Elliot Abelson thanking Keith for requiring him to be there and increasing his billable hours to Scientology. Uh-uh! Doesn't cut it. Having been around Elliot enough, I personally think that he's not happy with his situation in Scientology and doesn't see a way out without a lot of mess. Having been in communication with him, I know that he work's very hard on the same schedules as OSA/church members..he is worked 7 days a week..and whenever I telephoned him in LA and he wasn't in the immediate vicinity, OSA members would page him and he'd come to the phone panting & heaving for air having run to the phone. This isn't to say he's not happy being an attorney for the church, doing his best to represent them as an attorney, and happy to be making the money he is making. You have to admit with the dime-a-dozen attorneys in the world scrounging for work, Elliot is in a very steady and profitable position.
I like Elliot Abelson. He shares the same humor & wit that I am accused of, and as much as he can flip an insult on someone, he is not bothered when it is returned. I have seen Elliot Abelson the asshole and a gentleman of compassion & concern.
I believe in looking for the good in people versus the very bad is going to make the world a more peaceful & better place to live in than it is now. Remember, 52 years ago, we were at war with the Germans & Japanese, killing each other off, and now that times have changed where we have embraced German & Japanese people, there is still that small minority of people whom are very expressive of their distrust & dislike for Japs & Krauts. There is way too much hate in the world.

a gentleman of compassion and concern, defending the scam? concerned by the fact he could be as well RPFed fort his very bad handling of Lisa's case? Hum, i don't think we are peaking the same language here.

Yes, with scamatologists and with "affidavits" continually contradicting?

For sure, as long as US govts defend kriminal Kults, and keep on realizing their aims for power and money, by trying to erase any other country?
We are not speaking the same word for "hate", do you realize?

Bad idea - would reflect sunlight and the glare would make the sign unreadable from the wrong angle.
The idea of multiple layers of sign so you could just rip the painted one off and have the same thing fresh underneath would get them right *there*, though ;-)

or even better, have a series of signs on an upward gradient. have something relatively benign on the first sign. if they wreck that, have something less benign and more insulting. perhaps the last sign should say "RON IS XENU"
i still like the idea of this:
As a Scientologist, I pledge myself to the Code of Scientology for the good of all.
10. To support the freedom of religion.
[. . .]
12. To work for freedom of speech in the world.
[. . .]
15. To set an example of the effectiveness and wisdom of Scientology.
