In fact, they make some ,but they just don't sell them here in U.S. Sunny California is a 1.6l wagon based on Sentra. Avenil is a 2.0l 4WD/2WD wagon .(It looks like Infinity G20 but actually it's independently designed to be a wagon.I mean, it's not based on any sedans.) Nissan had better consider to sell them here. Sounds nice. But I doubt they have a plan. Coz Avenil was introduced to replace any sedan based wagon.

I would like to see Christians devote a bit less effort to _bashing_ paganism and more to figuring out how to present the Gospel to pagans. Christ is the answer; the pagans have a lot of the right questions. Unlike materialists, who deny the need for any spirituality.

Two approaches that I've used: Tofranil, 50 mg qhs, Naproxen 250mg bid. The Naproxen doesn't seem to be as bad as things like Tylenol in promoting the analgesic abuse Headache.

store and reply of mouse and keyboard events -------------------------------------------- To produce regression tests or automatic demo's we would like to store all mouse and keyboard events produced by a user. It should be possible to filter the mouse and keyboard events from the server's queue an to store them in a file. This sequence of events, stored in a file, should be given to the server's queue as if a user is working. 1. Exists a tool that is capable to save and reply all mouse and keyboard events (where)? 2. Where one can catch these events to store them ? In our case the server's queue is on a X Terminal (HP). Where can we catch all events coming from a given server. If this is not possible, can we catch all events given to a certain client and how ? 3. Where one can send a stored sequence of events to simulate a user ? Is there a central dispatcher on the clients machine who manages all incoming events from a given server and how can we reach it ? Thanks in advance

I'm in the market for a laser printer. Used printers are fine, non-apple printers are fine, but whatever printer I get must fit the following: Required features: - PostScript - 300 dpi - emough memory to download fonts - The cheaper, the better. I'd prefer under $1000. Nice things: - anything over 4 pages per minute - scsi output for a font disk - smallish footprint Don't Care About: - PostScript Level II - networking (its just for me, and always will be) - color I know about Freedom of Press, but I've also heard that its painfully slow. I can tolerate about 4 ppm, but anything slower than that and I'm not going to consider the price savings worth it. I'd be curious to hear people's experience with it, tho. I also infinitely prefer laser over ink; I used to use HP deskjets in my last job and wasn't impressed with the quality. I'm a laser bigot and the first to admit it. :) I'll be using the printer to layout pages of a book I'm writing. The page will include multiple fonts, PS graphics, scanned line art and maybe greyscale pictures (not sure yet). The quality doesn't need to be spectacular, but it needs to be clear and readable. Printers I've been looking at: - used LaserWriters: The plus, the NT, the NTR. Its my understanding that only the NTR has a SCSI out for a disk. True? - Personal LaserWriter (LS and NTR). I have access to the Apple Employee discount (I work for one of Apple's spinoffs), so I can get these reasonably cheaply. I've heard bad things about the LS; comments? I'm leaning towards the Personal NTR, cause it has a nice small footprint. - LaserWriter Select 300. I hear it doesn't have PostScript, but I haven't seen anything for sure. I heard mumbles once about a "postscript upgrade." ?? - Used HP LaserJets. I've worked with the II and IIP on another platform, and they were *painfully* slow. Are they that bad on the mac? - I've seen ads for an Epson PS laserprinter that is running quite cheap. Any comments on this printer? I hate the styling (too many ouput trays), but if its a decent printer I'll consider it. Thanks for any comments...

Lebanese resistance forces detonated a bomb under an Israeli occupation patrol in Lebanese territory two days ago. Three soldiers were killed and two wounded. In "retaliation", Israeli and Israeli-backed forces wounded 8 civilians by bombarding several Lebanese villages. Ironically, the Israeli government justifies its occupation in Lebanon by claiming that it is necessary to prevent such bombardments of Israeli villages!! Congratulations to the brave men of the Lebanese resistance! With every Israeli son that you place in the grave you are underlining the moral bankruptcy of Israel's occupation and drawing attention to the Israeli government's policy of reckless disregard for civilian life. Brad Hernlem ([email protected]) Very nice. Three people are murdered, and Bradly is overjoyed.

Does anybody out there have one of those food dehydrators I've been seeing all over late-night TV recently? I was wondering if they use forced air, heat, or both. If there's heat involved, anybody know what temperature they run at? My wife would like one and I'm not inclined to pay >$100.00 for a box, a fan and a heater.

Has anyone had problems with Ami Pro 3.0 after running PCTools (v7.1) compress? I have not corrupted data due to having caches other than PC-Cache running, so that is not it. The first time I try to run Ami Pro after loading windows, it loads, but causes (I think it was a) segmentation fault in AMIPRO.EXE right before it finishes, with all times after that only managing to get to the logo box that first pops up when it begins loading, and then causes a general protection fault in module AMIPROUI.DLL at 0002:1147. I have not been able to fix this problem except by reinstalling Ami Pro. This has happened twice, with both times being after having ran compress on my hard drive. BTW, I am not running stacker or any other disk compression programs, and if you don't already know, PCTools compress is actually a defragger, despite it's name. My system is a 386-40MHz, with 16MB of RAM and a NEC (OEM) hard drive, etc, but that shouldn't make a difference. PLEASE email me as I can't keep up with the newsgroup, and it will cut down on net traffic anyways. Thanks. -Derek

Facts: ===== - A Netware Server 286A was roughly moved to a new location and left powered down for three months. - From memory it has an 80 MB hard drive. - Manuals and original disks are for SFT Netware 286 Level II V2.0a - When powered up, the CMOS was wiped. A technician examined it and pronounced the disk drive unusable. My investigations indicate that drive C is a type 27 (1024 cylinders, 9 sides). When CMOS set this way, COMPSURF runs happily, with 13 bad blocks. I use PREPARE to Hotfix the one internal drive. Install will proceed "successfully", but when I try to boot the server, it reports that the software is not serialised for this hardware. Internal examination indicates that the keycard is present, and there is one disk drive (or at least one large single unit). Attempts to configure a second drive in CMOS result in drive not ready errors. Questions: ========= The software is Netware 286 Level II and I can see burnt on to the screen SFT Netware 286 Level II V2.0a. However, to configure netware for level II (mirrored or duplexed disks) requires a second disk, yes? So how is the Novell Server 286A normally configured? 1. Can I install SFT Netware 286 Level II V2.0a as Level I, or is this what is causing my serialisation error? 2. Is the Novell Server 286A normally equipped with two hard drives, one of which has failed? 3. Would this mean I can not install the network software because it will not be serialised for this hardware with a failed drive? 4. What else can cause a serialisation error? 5. What happens if the keycard fails? 6. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone knowledgeable offer some comments and guides. Thanks for your time. Apology: ======= I appreciate that I have posted this request somewhat widely. As I'm dealing with somewhat archaic hardware and software I'm hoping that by casting my net further, I'm more likely to capture someone who has met this system before. I believe I can justify the groups to which I am posting. Please feel free to correct me if you feel this is an inappropriate place to post this.

It was for car use but we thought we'd try it on my RD350B. It worked OK apart from one slight problem: we had to keep the revs above 7000. Any lower and the motor would die from lack of electron movement. It made for interesting cups of coffee, anyhow. We would plot routes that contained straights of over three miles so that we had sufficient time to get the water to boiling point. This is sometimes difficult in England.

Sorry about that - don't want to alarm anyone... I don't think there is any correlation between the crashes and PCTools. I reinstalled Ami Pro, and ran compress again, with no problems. I think problems may have been related to filling my disk until it had 0 bytes (!) left while FTPing, although I would think it wouldn't matter since Ami Pro wasn't running at the time, and I made space available immediately anyways. But, whatever, the cause, it is working now.

I am ordering the Actix graphicsengine ultra plus. It is the same price as the stealth card. Plus it is also based on S3 928 chip the newest and fastest chip from s3. Everyone, if you are looking for a card, SEE THE APRIL ISSUE OF PC MAGAZINE FOR THEIR REVIEW. They noted this person's problem with dos. The stealth card is not a very good dos performer. The Actix card is rated the best in this chip class (non local bus). It got glowing reports from the magazine (was a best buy) and I called them directly and they just updated their windows drivers last week! They have a bulletin board to get the latest drivers. Though somone posted that this bbs was at 2400. AT any rate, the Actix graphics engine ultra outperforms all the other cards in the 928 class (based on the winmark results). If you are looking for the all around best dos/windows performance check out the actix card. Their 1-800 number is 927-5557. P.S. The article in pc magazine noted that if you are a regular dos user (ie: games) then you should also check out the 801 chip from s3. It apparently scores just as well and in many cases slightly better in dos than the 928 chip (ie: stealth and actix cards.) They have "comparable" windows performance and are cheaper to buy.

Hi Steve, As the author of Multiverse, I feel I had better respond to your mailnote questioning whether anyone had managed to compile this software - the quick answer is yes! The long answer is yes - but a few have had a few problems with their platforms - not all unix's are the same, you know! As far as "many bugs" go, it would probably be more useful to everyone (including you) if you were a bit more explicit! :-) Platforms it has succesfully compiled and run on are: RS6000, Dec Ultrix Sun Solaris so it is possible. The main problem is that I don't have access to other platforms than the RS6000, so if there are portability problems then the only way I hear about them is by people letting me know and giving me a clue as to how to fix it. As far as the software not doing anything, do you really think I would bother releasing it, if that was the case? Perhaps you didn't read the few docs that ARE supplied. The dogfight world is made up of clients only, so if you're in there on your own, then you're not going to see anything! The dactyl world has quite a lot of scenary - so if you don't see anything there, then this is definitely a problem! One final word - if you're not interested, don't bother with it. If you are interested, then please remember that I'm not asking for any money! So why not try a little patience and constructive criticism, maybe that will get results??

Well now, we can't judge death until we are dead right? So, why should we judge religion without having experienced it? People have said that religion is bad by any account, and that it is in no way useful, etc., but I don't totally agree with this. Of course, we cannot really say how the religious folk would act had they not been exposed to religion, but some people at least seemed to be helped in some ways by it. So basically, we can not judge whether religion is the right route for a given individual, or even for a general population. We can say that it is not best for us personally (at least, you can choose not to use religion--might be hard to try to find out its benefits, as you state above).

The Clipper chip is just the culmination of Dorthy Denning et all. But lets ignore that for the moment. The fundamental question is:Can the government stop me from using encryption? Ignoring for the moment the question of patented processes (such as Public Keys), can the government stop me from using an encryption process? If the answer is yes then what freedom we have in this country is truly gone and its time to get out the guns or the lawyers (depending upon which causes more damage and to whom). However assuming that I can still encrypt things as I please, who cares about the clipper chip? As far as I'm concerned a phone line is insecure PERIOD. I don't care if they encrypt it 10 ways from sunday, if I didn't do the encrypting, I don't trust it. This is the attitude that everyone else should have. Instead of worrying about a clipper chip, simply connect your handset to your computer and feed the voice single through, process, encrypt, and transmit over the phone. The guy on the other hand then does the same in reverse. Can't work you say? No Standard you say? Obviously you have never uses PGP. Anyone who expects the government to protect their freedoms is kidding themselves. Only you can protect your own freedoms. One final thought addressed to EFF: 1.Do you support the implementation of ANY form of encryption where the encryption key must be revealed? 2.If you do, why? If not, why? 3.What SPECIFIC actions are you planning to take to either support or stop this proposal? 4.If you do not support this proposal, what alternatives do you offer? The Jester

It is called 'The Justice'. We also demand that the x-Soviet Armenian Government admit its responsibility for the Turkish and Kurdish Genocide, render reparations to the Muslim people, and return the land to its rightful owners. The recognition of the Genocide has become an issue which cannot be delayed further, and it is imperative that artificial obstacles created for political manipulations be removed. Are you the 'truelove' or 'falselove' of 'Arromdian' of the ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism and Revisionism Triangle? "If Turks had behaved like Christians to use force to convert to Islam the nations which they brought under their power, to which no one could have opposed, today there would be no Eastern problem. But Turks did not do so. They obeyed the word of the Koran to permit everybody "to worship in their own way" centuries before Frederick the Great pronounced his famous dictum. Thus, in an age when the Christian Europe itself shed Christian blood and when people in Europe enjoyed inflicting inhuman tortures upon those whose beliefs differed from theirs, the Ottoman Empire became the sole country where the inquisition did not exist, where deaths at the stake were unheard of and where accusations of witchcraft were not made. And the barbarian (!) Turkey was the only country where the Jews persecuted and chased away everywhere by the Christians, could find asylum. These facts demonstrate that Muslim countries provided spiritually far better living conditions than Christian countries."[1] "The Turks, who are a conquering nation, did not Turkify the nations that came under their rule; instead, they respected their religions and traditions. It was a stroke of luck for Romania to live under Turkish rule instead of Russian or Austrian rule. Because otherwise there would not have been a Romanian nation today" (Popescu Ciocanel). "Turks rule over people under their administration only externally, without interfering with their internal structures. On account of this, the autonomy of minorities in Turkey is better and more complete than any in the most advanced European countries."[2] "...human beings hate each other on account of religious differences. This flaw is older than Islam and Christianity. But there has never been any examples of this adjuration in Turkey because Turks never oppress anybody on account of his religion. If enmity on the basis of religion had been such a case of simple contempt among us too, or if it did not keep translating itself into action, many nations in our Europe would probably have considered themselves happy!" (A. de Mortraye).[3] "Turkey never became a scene for religious terror or for the cruelty of the inquisition. On the contrary, it served as an asylum for the unfortunate victims of Christian fanaticism. If you look into history, you will see that in the fifteenth century thousands of Jews who were expelled from Spain and Portugal found such a good asylum in Turkey that their descendants have been living there very calmly all through these approximately three hundred years, and are only forced to defend themselves in some countries against the cruelty of Christians, especially that of the Orthodoxes. No Jew is able to appear in public during Easter celebrations in Athens, even today. In Turkey, however, if the Israelites are insulted by the Greek and Armenian communities, local courts immediately take them under their protection." "In that vast and calm country of the sultan, all religions and nations are living together peacefully. Although the mosque is superior to the church and the synagogue, it does not replace them. Because of this, the Catholic sect is more free in Istanbul and Smyrna compared with Paris and Lyon. In addition to the fact that no law in Turkey prohibits the open-air ceremonies of this sect, neither does any law imprison its cross in the church. While the dead are being taken to the graves, a long line of priests bear processional candles and chant Catholic hymns. When all the priests in all the churches in the Galata and Beyoglu districts go into the streets and form clerical processions during the Eucharist celebrations, chanting hymns and bearing their crosses and religious banners, a detachment of soldiers escorts them which forces even the Turks to stand in respect around the group of priests."

I wouldn't bother with the copy protection, if I were you.

You may want to price your software (depending on what it is) a tad higher... a price change from $15 to $25 probably would turn off very few potentials buyers, and that way you could tolerate more pirates (whose numbers don't change with the price).

If he had a history of such things, why was it not mentioned in the article, and why did they present the irrelevant detail of where he got his drinking money from? I can't say exactly who is at fault here, but from where I sit is looks like we're seeing the results either of the law going way out of hand or of shoddy journalism.

I won't even recommend books from my congregation. What you ask sounds attractive but it is dangerous. As a new Christian you don't want to be contaminated with other people's interpretation.

God has promised to give you light, so ask for it. Don't wait too long before attaching yourself to church. Just remember to always compare what they teach you with scripture like the Bereans did.

Why not just go with the Sunday : following Passover the way the Bible has it? Why seek after unbiblical : methods? : In fact, that is the reason Easter "jumps all over the calendar"- Passsover itself is a lunar holiday, not a solar one, and thus falls over a wide possible span of times. The few times that Easter does not fall during or after Passover are because Easter is further linked to the Vernal Equinox- the beginning of spring. [more deletions] : : So what does this question have to do with Easter (the whore : goddess)? I am all for celebrating the Resurrection. Just keep that : whore out of the discussion. : Your obsession with the term "whore" clouds your argument. "Whore" is a value judgement, not a descriptive term. [more deletions] Overall, this argument is an illustration of the "etymological fallacy" (see J.P. Louw: _Semantics of NT Greek_). That is the idea that the true meaning of a word lies in its origins and linguistic form. In fact, our own experience demonstrates that the meaning of a word is bound up with how it is _used_, not where it came from. Very few modern people would make any connection whatsoever between "Easter" and "Ishtar." If Daniel Seagard does, then for him it has that meaning. But that is a highly idiosyncratic "meaning," and not one that needs much refutation.

: The PADS*.ZIP files contain subdirectories, and have to be unzipped : via "pkunzip -d". Then an xcopy /s to three floppies creates the disks : needed to do the install. I'm still not sure how this is supposed to work, since the .ZIP files took up about 2.5Mb, so it must be a tight squeeze on those floppies...

We have a LAN where we are doing development on product for multiple platforms. For the moment we are only working on MAC and DOS/Windows. The department has always used sneaker net to transport files to the MAC, since it requires a filter to strip out the <LF> characters. Until recently no one concidered using any version control to mediate, and as a result, the 5 programmers spent a great deal of time merging files together at the end of each week so that a new system could be build. We are now trying to streamline this process, but are hampered by the lack of software that will allow us to share files across PC and MAC platforms. I understand that PVCS used to do this, but that they no longer support the MAC product (anyone know why ?? Polytron ?). I have seen people ask about development in multiple platforms, so I assume that ours is not a new problem. Who has had to deal with it ?

I disagree: every proposition needs a certain amount of evidence and support, before one can believe it. There are a miriad of factors for each individual. As we are all different, we quite obviously require different levels of evidence. As one pointed out, one's history is important. While in FUSSR, one may not believe a comrade who states that he owns five pairs of blue jeans. One would need more evidence, than if one lived in the United States. The only time such a statement here would raise an eyebrow in the US, is if the individual always wear business suits, etc. The degree of the effect upon the world, and the strength of the claim also determine the amount of evidence necessary. When determining the level of evidence one needs, it is most certainly relevent what the consequences of the proposition are. If the consequences of a proposition is irrelvent, please explain why one would not accept: The electro-magnetic force of attraction between two charged particles is inversely proportional to the cube of their distance apart. Remember, if the consequences of the law are not relevent, then we can not use experimental evidence as a disproof. If one of the consequences of the law is an incongruency between the law and the state of affairs, or an incongruency between this law and any other natural law, they are irrelevent when theorizing about the "Truth" of the law. Given that any consequences of a proposition is irrelvent, including the consequence of self-contradiction or contradiction with the state of affiars, how are we ever able to judge what is true or not; let alone find "The Truth"? By the way, what is "Truth"? Please define before inserting it in the conversation. Please explain what "Truth" or "TRUTH" is. I do think that anything is ever known for certain. Even if there IS a "Truth", we could never possibly know if it were. I find the concept to be meaningless. -- "Satan and the Angels do not have freewill. They do what god tells them to do. "

I must have missed the postings about Waco, David Koresh, and the Second Coming. How does one tell if a Second Coming is the real thing, unless the person claiming to be IT is obviously insane? I'm not saying that David Koresh is the Second Coming of Christ. How could somebody who breaks his word be the Second Coming? Koresh did promise that he would come out of his compound if only he was allowed to give a radio broadcast. He didn't. Still it seems to me that he did fool some people. And, from my meagre knowledge of the Bible, it seems that Christians have been hard on the Jews of Christ's day for being cautious about accepting somebody that their religious authorities didn't accept as the Messiah. So I was surprised that nobody had discussed the difficulty of wanting to be early to recognize the Second Coming while, at the same time, not wanting to be credulously believing just anybody who claims to be God. [Mark 13:21 And then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. Mark 13:22 False Christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. Mark 13:23 But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand. Mark 13:24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, Mark 13:25 and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. Mark 13:26 And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory. My understanding of Jesus' answer is that, unlike his first coming, which was veiled, the second coming will be quite unmistakeable. He's telling us not to be misled by the other things that have to happen before his second coming -- the actual second coming will make his power openly visible. By the way, from Koresh's public statement it's not so clear to me that he is claiming to be Christ.

Again I find myself wanting to respond to a posting and having neither the time nor the proper materials with me (you would think I would learn my lesson by now--but I'm trying to finish writing my Thesis and don't have tons of time. Anyway...) The basis for our (the catholic church's) belief in the assumption of Mary, body and soul, into heaven is that, to put it simply, the apostles and all the early generation Christians believed it. In fact, throughout their ministry the apostles kept in close contact with Mary, and 11 of the 12 were present when she died. Only Thomas was missing--when he arrived several days later, he asked to be shown her body, and moved with pity, Peter and several of the other apostles brought him to her tomb. When they arrived the seal was still unbroken. They broke the seal, entered, and the body was missing. There was no sign that anyone had entered, forcibly or otherwise, and everything else was laid out exactly as it had been left. The apostles present all believed that Mary was assumed into heaven--and the apostles TAUGHT this in their preaching (of course, this does not appear in any of the texts currently considered part of the bible, but it does appear in other writings left behind by several of them.) Basicaly, as an apostolic church (ie. founded by the apostles), we believe that the teachings of the apostles, whether written down in the bible or written down in other sources, is true, providing that the authenticity of those other sources can be confirmed. At least in the case of the assumption of Mary, the authenticity is quite clear.

If you write a second time to a CD you need to have multi-session capability to read the second session. Whether it is photos or just data or whatever. Here is a simplified way of looking at it: The first session has the directory structure burned at some tracks. The second session has a newer directory structure, but the first directory still exists, because you cannot change, only add. So if you put that in a 'normal' drive and it will only look to the first directory and think it has found all data. Multisession kindof means that the drive will look for the last directory written to the disc, older systems look only for 'the' directory, not taking multiple directories into account.

Forwarded from John Spencer ([email protected]): There will be two eclipses of Iapetus by Saturn and its rings, in May and July. Please spread the word! Here's some information about the events, and then a couple of messages from Jay Goguen of JPL appealing for thermal observations of the eclipse to learn more about the thermal properties of Iapetus. He might also have some money available... John Spencer, 1993/04/21 Iapetus will be eclipsed by the shadows of Saturn's rings and Saturn itself on 1993/05/01-02 (18:27-13:43 UT) and again on 1993/07/20-21, (21:16-09:38 UT). Timing is as follows; 1993 May 1-2 A-ring ingress 18:27 egress 19:30 B-ring ingress 19:51 egress 21:42 C-ring egress 23:00 Saturn ingress 23:59 egress 10:02 B-ring ingress 10:28 egress 12:19 A-ring ingress 12:40 egress 13:43 1993 July 20-21 Saturn ingress 21:16 egress 05:08 A-ring ingress 05:13 (grazing) egress 09:38 Times could be 30 minutes later according to an alternate ephemeris, and photometric observations are important for refining Iapetus' orbit. Because the Sun's size projected on the rings as seen from Iapetus is 3100 km it's unlikely that we will learn anything new about the rings themselves from the observations. See Soma (1992), Astronomy and Astrophysics 265, L21-L24 for more details. Thanks to Andy Odell of Northern Arizona University for bringing the events to my attention. THERMAL OBSERVATIONS? To me, the interesting thing to do would be thermal IR of the 20 July disappearance into the shadow of the planet to measure thermal inertia, etc. Unfortunately, the 21:30 UT of this event renders it inaccessible, except from Russia. Even from Calar Alto, Saturn is rising through 3 airmasses at 23:00 UT. Do you know anyone in Russia or Ukraine with a big telescope and 10 um instrumentation that's looking for something to do? I'd be willing to make a personal grant of >$100 for the data. Jay and again: please try to encourage anyone that can observe the iapetus planet disappearance to do so at thermal wavelengths. My impression would be that it's not an easy observation. Iapetus will be faint and getting fainter in eclipse, so you'll need a big telescope that's a good IR telescope and reasonable 10 - 20 um instrumentation. I don't think that combination is widely available at the longitudes that are well placed for observation. We need SOFIA for this one. One possibility would be the IR telescope in India, but it's only a 1.2 m. jay

Hello, I have seen two common threads running through postings by atheists on the newsgroup, and I think that they can be used to explain each other. Unfortunately I don't have direct quotes handy... 1) Atheists believe that when they die, they die forever. 2) A god who would condemn those who fail to believe in him to eternal death is unfair. I don't see what the problem is! To Christians, Hell is, by definition, eternal death--exactly what atheists are expecting when they die. There's no reason Hell has to be especially awful--to most people, eternal death is bad enough. Literal interpreters of the Bible will have a problem with this view, since the Bible talks about the fires of Hell and such. Personally, I don't think that people in Hell will be thrust into flame any more than I expect to Jesus with a double-edged sword issuing from his mouth--I treat both these statements as metaphorical.

All your friend really has to do is find a Registered Dietician(RD). While most work in hospitals and clinics, many major cities will have RD's who are in "private practice" so to speak. Many physicans will refer their patients with Crohn's disease to RD's for dietary help. If you can get your friend's physician to make a referral, medical insurance should pay for the RD's services just like the services of a physical therapist. The better medical insurance plans will cover this but even if your friend's plan doesn't, it would be well worth the cost to get on a good diet to control the intestinal discomfort and help the intestinal lining heal. Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestinal lining and lipoxygenase inhibitors may help by decreasing leukotriene formation but I'm not aware of tea or turmeric containing lipoxygenase inhibitors. For bad inflammation, steroids are used but for a mild case, the side effects are not worth the small benefit gained by steroid use. Upjohn is developing a new lipoxygenase inhibitor that should greatly help deal with inflammatory diseases but it's not available yet.

I have been convinced of the right of AMericans to an effective self-defense, but something strikes me as odd among the pro-RKBA arguments presented here. The numbers comparing hundreds of thousands (indeed, even a million) of instances of law abiding citizens deterring criminal activity, seem valid to me. Likewise the number of gun-caused homicides each year (about 11,000/year?). However, it is surprising that the "Evil AntiGun Empire " (Darth Vader breathing sound effect here) never tries to compare "All legitimate gun defenses" vs. "All gun crimes." Instead, it's always "All legitimate gun defenses," which includes cases in which the criminals are shot but not killed, and cases in which the criminal is not here, vs. just criminal gun homicides, which only includes case sin which the victim died. Why is this? Of course, it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that in each crime already measured (involving guns), the consequnces are already known and it is safe to assume that a gun-based bank robbery last week will not suddenly turn into a gun-basd robbery+homicide. Whereas in the legitimate gun defenses, one may assume that all those criminals who were deterred would have committed more crime or more serious crimes had they not been deterred. -Case Kim
