My old jacket is about to bite the dust so I'm in the market for a new riding
jacket. I'm looking for recommendations for a suitable replacement. I would
like to buy a full Aerostich suit but I can't afford $700 for it right now.
I'm considering two basic options:
1) Buy the Aerostich jacket only. Dunno how much it costs
due to recent price increases, but I'd imagine over $400.
That may be pushing my limit. Advantages include the fact
that I can later add the pants, and that it nearly eliminates
the need for the jacket portion of a rainsuit.
2) Buy some kind of leather jacket. I like a few of the new
Hein-Gericke FirstGear line, however they may be a bit pricey
unless I can work some sort of deal. Advantages of leather
are potentially slightly better protection, enhanced pose
value (we all know how important that is :-), possibly cheaper
than upper Aerostich.
Requirements for a jacket are that it must fit over a few other
layers (mainly a sizing thing), if leather i'd prefer a zip-out
lining, it MUST have some body armor similar to aerostich (elbows,
shoulders, forearms, possibly back/kidney protection, etc.), a
reasonable amount of pocket space would be nice, ventilation would
be a plus, however it must be wearable in cold weather (below
freezing) with layers or perhaps electrics.
Please fire away with suggestions, comments, etc...

Gannon, why don't you tell the readers of these newsgroups
how you hail Nazism on your BBS, and post long articles
claiming non-Whites are inferior?
# THE U.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM: A COSTLY AND DANGEROUS MISTAKE
The Museum is entirely funded by private donations, but don't
expect this fact to deter "Maynard".
BTW, Gannon's ideological fathers also had a passion for constructing
museums and collections, some of which served to educate the
public about the racial supremacy of the Aryans. One such
collection was that of skeletons, and there was no lack of these
around:
Letter from SS-Standartenfuehrer Sievers to SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer
Dr. Brandt, November 2 1942
["Trial of the Major War Criminals", p. 520]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Comarade Brandt,
As you know, the Reichsfuehrer-SS has directed that
SS-Hauptsturmfuehrer Prof. Dr. Hirt be supplied with everything
needed for his research work. For certain anthropological
researches - I already reported to the Reichsfuehrer-SS on
them - 150 skeletons of prisoners, or rather Jews, are
required, which are to be supplied by the KL Auschwitz.
However, the good Doctor needed some more items to complete his
research:
Testimony of Magnus Wochner, SS guard at the Natzweiler Concentration
Camp
["The Natzweiler Trial", Edited by Anthony M. Webb, p. 89]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
... I recall particularly one mass execution when about 90 prisoners
(60 men and 30 women), all Jews, were killed by gassing. This took
place, as far as I can remember, in spring 1944. In this case the
corpses were sent to Professor Hirt of the department of Anatomy in
Strasbourg.

He sounds really cute, Morte! Kinds like _pete's dragon_, maybe smaller,
maybe a different species.. winge'd? (shakespear wing-ED)
I've always hat a horde of mice to turn to for fun & sort of that kind of
mouse in Cinderella (walt disney). I grew up sort of as an only child,
part time.. my siblings were 10-8-6 years older than me, so i was pretty
commonly a different sort of charater in their games (read: non speaking
hot cocoa-goffer, stand in (still silent) bad guy/good guy/etc), so my
mice were playmates, more than advisors.
Could curt, or whomever has a good list of books please post such list,
in all sorts of fields, like jungian, condensed buddist/etc philosophies,
multiple personailty disorders, or good fiction that has well worked

Oh, and us with the big degrees don't got imagination, huh?
The alleged dichotomy between imagination and knowledge is one of the most
pernicious fallacys of the New Age. Michael, thanks for the generous
offer, but we have quite enough dreams of our own, thank you.
You, on the other hand, are letting your own dreams go to waste by
failing to get the maths/thermodynamics/chemistry/(your choices here)
which would give your imagination wings.
Just to show this isn't a flame, I leave you with a quote from _Invasion of
the Body Snatchers_:
"Become one of us; it's not so bad, you know"

Perhaps we have different definitions of absolute then. To me,
an absolute is something that is constant across time, culture,
situations, etc. True in every instance possible. Do you agree
with this definition? I think you do:
A simple example:
In the New Testament (sorry I don't have a Bible at work, and can't
provide a reference), women are instructed to be silent and cover
their heads in church. Now, this is scripture. By your definition,
this is truth and therefore absolute.
Do women in your church speak? Do they cover their heads? If all
scripture is absolute truth, it seems to me that women speaking in and
coming to church with bare heads should be intolerable to evangelicals.
Yet, clearly, women do speak in evangelical churches and come with bare
heads. (At least this was the case in the evangelical churches I grew
up in.)
Evangelicals are clearly not taking this particular part of scripture
to be absolute truth. (And there are plenty of other examples.)
Can you reconcile this?
I don't claim that there are *no* absolutes. I think there are very
few, though, and determining absolutes is difficult.
But you are claiming that all of Scripture is absolute. How can you
determine absolutes derived from Scripture when you can't agree how
to interpret the Scripture?
It's very difficult to see how you can claim something which is based
on your own *interpretation* is absolute. Do you deny that your own
background, education, prejudices, etc. come into play when you read the
Bible, and determine how to interpret a passsage? Do you deny that
you in fact interpret?

Another company, Congruent Corporation of New York City, has also ported Xlib
Xt and Motif 1.1 over to MS Windows NT, which provides full client development
for X applications in an NT environment.
If you are porting InterViews over to MS Windows, I thought InterViews was
a C++ toolkit with C++ classes. If that is so, how can it be built on Xlib,
unless the classes are calling Xlib functions?

So that still leaves the door totally open for Khomeini, Hussein
et rest. They could still be considered true Muslims, and you can't
judge them, because this is something between God and the person.
You have to apply your rule as well with atheists/agnostics, you
don't know their belief, this is something between them and God.
So why the hoopla about Khomeini not being a real Muslim, and the
hoopla about atheists being not real human beings?

him?

I agree. So why is Cylink the only (and expensive) game in town?
Note: I think Cylink is great, and if my boss would double my salary, I'd buy
a bunch of their stuff :).
One thing that Clipper offers is interoperability, at a higher degree of
security than we currently have in non-proprietary voice encryption systems.
This means it will be cheaper than anyone's proprietary scheme, and easier to
deploy. This is, of course, either a bug or a feature depending on how you
look at it :).
Great! Where can I buy it?
Another note: If "Clipper" increases the incentive to bring stronger
encryption to the mass market, all the better. It's far overpriced at
the moment.
I don't care where we *need* to get it from, I care where we *can* get it
from, and whether it will interoperate with everyone else.
You can build them right now as long as you don't want to export (a
restriction I firmly oppose). The only thing stopping people from making
cheap encryption is greed: they want a lock on the market.
Oh, come on. Only if you trust it farther than it deserves. A Clipper phone
*IS NOT* a substitute for a Cylink phone, or a STU-III. It's a substitute
for the "voice scramblers" advertised in the back of Radio Electronics.
I disagree. Modulo ITAR, it's not the government that has sabotaged the
market.
Can you tell me where exactly we have given up that right?

OH yes they do! but considering i never wash my BMW (unless i need

altho the best scar (now faded) was from the exhaust piper,
while try to change the oil, after overheating the engine (watch
out for idiot drivers that won't let you pass in the mountains
when you have a rider, case of oil (it was on sale), and case of
beer), with a drain bolt that decided to seize.
just how does everyone else clean out the area under the transmission
on a BMW R bike? they only way i have found is to remove the
engine and transmission. that and the clutch arm are impossible to
clean (which is wear one of the EC (s&m) are located).

Greetings,
I am using an X server that provides 3 visuals:
PseudoColor 8 bit, Truecolor 24 bit and DirectColor 24 bit.
A problem occurs when I try to create a window with a visual that is different
from the visual of the parent (which uses the default visual which is TC24).
In the Xlib reference guide from 'O reilly one can read in the
section about XCteateWindow, something like:
"In the current implementation of X11: When using a visual other than the
parent's, be sure to create or find a suitable colourmap which is to be used
in the window attributes when creating, or else a BadMatch occurs."
This warning, strangely enough, is only mentioned in the newer editions
of the X11R5 guides.
However, even if I pass along a suitable colourmap, I still get a BadMatch
when I create a window with a non-default visual.
The code looks like this:
------------------ cut here and you'll destroy your CRT ----------------
Window create_8bit_window_on_truecolour_display(dpy,width,height)
Display *dpy;
int width, height;
{
Window win;
XVisualInfo vinfo;
XSetWindowAttributes attr;
fprintf(stderr,"Opening 8 bit window...\n");
if (!XMatchVisualInfo(dpy,DefaultScreen(dpy),8,PseudoColor,&vinfo)) {
fprintf(stderr,"Your display can't handle 8 bit PseudoColor.\n");
exit(1);
}
fprintf(stderr,"Using visual: %x\n",vinfo.visual->visualid);
cmap = XCreateColormap(
dpy,
DefaultRootWindow(dpy),
vinfo.visual,
AllocNone
);
XSync(dpy,False);
XInstallColormap(dpy,cmap); /* ommision of this line gives same result */
attr.colormap = cmap;
win = XCreateWindow(
dpy,
DefaultRootWindow(dpy),
10,10,
width,height,
CopyFromParent, /* border width */
8, /* depth */
InputOutput, /* class */
vinfo.visual, /* visual */
CWColormap,
&attr
);
return win;
}
--- cut here and you'll destroy your CRT -----
Executing this piece of code results in a BadMatch error.
Anybody who knows why?
If so, please drop me a line.
Take care,

...His account that is.
Many important issues, and some not-so important ones, are discussed here
on the net on a daily basis. I have just been informed of what I feel is
one of the most important things that we could ever discuss -- The
out-and-out censorship of one of our fellow posters because some people
don't like what he says or thinks.
We have all seen the postings here by AJ Teel. Although many of us have
not agreed with their content, I'm sure most of us have been at least
somewhat interested in them. I, for one, am greatful to live (I thought)
in a country where people like Mr. Teel are allowed to say what they please.
If I don't wan't to read it, I can just skip on by, or unsuscribe. But,
unfortunately, some people cannot let others live and let live. They feel
an overwhelming need to snuff out the little bastards. Now it seems that
Mr. Teel will be with us no more, due mainly to our brother, and cheif
net police, Ted Frank.
PLEASE HELP AJ TEEL REGAIN NET (POST) ACCESS AND CORRECT THIS INJUSTICE.
ARE YOU ON TED'S HIT LIST?
ARE YOUR THOUGHTS CORRECT?
IS YOUR ACCOUNT SAFE?
HAS YOUR SYSADMIN BEEN CONTACTED BY THE THOUGHT POLICE?
I thought the NLG and the ACLU supported people with diverse opinions. NOT!
Please read the following forwarded messages from AJ Teel so that
you may understand this vial act for what it is...

Subject: Officer Ted Frank, Thought Police Badge Number NWO-666
Summary: Ted wins the argument by killing his opponent!

Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder
Keywords: NWO Ted Frank
Well, well, well... Thanks to [email protected] (Mark Eckenwiler) and
[email protected] (Ted Frank), my account is to be axed.
I guess that the information I am presenting is just toooo difficult
for them to deal with. They (ONLY Ted and Mark) have complained to my
sysadmin some unknown number of times to get me off the net. (In his
defense, Mark sent only one message and it was not THAT bad; it has
been posted in one of the newsgroups; However, it *was* not directed
at me as would be common practice and I am VERY good at responding
via netmail...)
While I disagree with Ted, I would not send mail to his sysadmin
to get him axed. Name-calling was not enough; jumping on every post
I made was not enough; ignoring specific points when they were not
what the desired picture was not enough; SIMPLY IGNORING ME IF I
AM SUCH A KOOK WAS NOT ENOUGH. Even now I do not wish to have him
axed, but I do wish to express my disgust about this. "Argumentum
ad silence-your-opponent-um"?! I would have thought he would have
wanted me to stay around just to have someone to yell about and
seem sooo wise... (to himself, I think).
The issue that seems to be: "Is the following an advertisement?"
Apparently, Ted and Mark think so...
1) I Posted an article from around one year ago as it was taken
*off the net* from last year. If reposting an article
constitutes posting an ad, then I am guilty. This post
did have a name and address and, yes, a price. If one
had posted the address and subscription price of "Newsweek",
would that be an ad? I get nothing from showing this stuff.
2) I Posted a list of documents showing examples of the kind of
"proof" that was REQUESTED BY TED FRANK. He then complains
to my sysadmin saying that I am advertising and, lo and
behold, "poof", there goes my account. This one had an
address in it! Oh, no! I Guess that means it is an ad!
If you value the alternative view I have been discussing, or VALUE
ITS DISCUSSION even if you do not agree with it, I ask that you send
a note saying as much to me to show to the sysadmin. They rarely get
"Ya know, that user on your net was real helpful..." or whatever; they
only get "I don't like what that user is doing because...".
Please do not send the note to the sysadmin. I need to take it to them
in a manner that has at least a chance of getting through.
In my files here are hundreds of responses from people saying "Thanks for
the info" or "Could you send me such and such?" or "Your posts are
very interesting... keep it up." and only a handfull of "Go aways". But,
I guess the fact that I have decided not to waste my time trying to
convince Ted is a Net Offense[TM] of such magnitude as to warrant
a message complaining about me. (Knock, knock..."My name is Ted and
and this is Mark... We're from the thought police. Seems you have
some pretty dangerous ideas here, and we're here to confiscate them...")
NWO Indeed!
Guess I will have to go back to the drawing board and come up with
a new plan... Thanks Ted and Mike. Hope you are happy.
I will be on for a few more days and then... that's all folks!
Your comments and support are requested. I can no longer post
to news. I ask what this has accomplished... Is there some benefit
from making alternative views simply vanish? Not in my book.
Seems the easiest way to win an argument is to make the opposing side
shut up. Images of Waco.... ah, but alas... And all this when I am in the
process of typing in a letter to me from the Tax Collector saying that
a lien was removed due to a letter that I wrote challenging jurisdiction.
Oh, well... It takes time to come up with the info requested, and I
was just getting started.
It should be noted that Ted Frank has been accused publicly over 40
times of being an NWO supporter and has never made an statements to the
contrary. Further, what ARE Ted Frank's motivations for getting me axed?
We all know that SOME PEOPLE are getting paid to collect info on people
on the net that are of "interest" to the government, and Ted sure seems
to have a *personal* interest in debunking me. Hmmm... just who does
he work for? The University of Chicago which he "attends"(?) is well
known as one of the biggest NWO supporters...
And finally, if anyone would be able to help me find a new account here
in the Boulder/Denver area, I would greatly appreciate it. I am in the
process of installing Linux and so will be able to do UUCP or maybe
a TC/IP connection. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Since I
am longer be able to post news and will no longer have email VERY

[Lazlo]
yes i agree. BUT our policy is to not watch everypost someone here
makes.
we generally let the net itself take care of inappropriate postings
by flaming the user into shape (which i assume this is ment to be).
we (CS operations) don't like to get involved in this stuff (unless
its illegal, repetitive posts of 1gig gifs, harassment, or something
else that offends the community in general). my suggestion is that
you take it to email and explain what a post for bounces should look
like or tell him to RTFM

Is it just me, or has this part gotten beyond useful?
Gregg is not, as I understand his posts, giving any support to the bounty
on Rushdie's life. If that's correct, end of one point...
Gregg is using the concept of legal in a way most Westerners don't accept.
His comments about Islamic Law I think make a great deal of sense to him,
and are even making a _little_ sense to me now - if a person is a member
of a group (religion or whatever) they bind themselves to follow the ways
of the group within the bounds of what the group requires as a minimum.
The big bone of contention here that I'm picking up is that in the West
we have secular governments that maintain, more or less, a level of control
and of requirements outside the requirements of optional groups. I think
the majority of us reading this thread are in tune (note - I didn't say
"in agreement") with the idea that you are finally responsible to the
secular government, and within that to the group or groups a person may
have chosen.
With that in mind, it not possible under secular law ("legally" as most
people would define the term) to hold a person to a particular group once
they decide to separate from it. Only if the secular authorities agree
that there is a requirement of some sort (contractual, etc) is there
any secular _enforcement_ allowed by a group to a group member or past
group member.
A religion can, and often does, believe in and require additional duties
of a group member. And it can enforce the fulfillment of those duties
in many ways - ostracism is common for example. But the limit comes when
the enforcement would impose unwanted and/or unaccepted onus on a person
_in conflict with secular law_.
This is the difference. In a theocracy, the requirements of the secular
authorities are, by definition, congruent with the religious authorities.
Outside a theocracy, this is not _necessarily_ true. Religious requirements
_may_ coincide or may not. Similiarly, religious consequences _may_ or
may not coincide with secular consequences (if any).

Not that I think anyone cares, but this pattern (using other examples
of course) was discussed 2,000 years ago by Aristotle in
_Nicomachean_Ethics_. Note that you can't use this insight to reason
backwards; e.g.: Since the conservatives see the media as liberal and
the liberals see the media as conservative, the media are fair! (though
I've seen this "reasoning" implied)

I have personally know quite of few of the Wycliffe Bible Translators.
As an organization their fundamental purpose is to translate the scriptures
into the native languages which in terms usual means learning it and
developing a written language (along with teaching the natives to read).
It is not associated with the U.S. govt. at all. Many governments
want the help of the translators. To the best of my knowledge the
Mexican government now encourages them to come. Their idea is not
cultural interference but the presentation of the Good News.
To understand more about what they do, I suggest you read some of the books
(autobiographical and biographical) about some of the translators. One
that stands out in my mind as an excellent is called "Peace Child."
This would give a true picture of what their mission is.
I agree with this statement, but we cannot also accept what others
say without looking into the issues. That would be the same as taking
Suddan's discussion about the CIA, etc. as being true. We must look
at both sides.

It's just as meaningless to compare goals, assists, PIM and any other stat I
can think of. Each player is asked to take a unique role for his team. The
contexts will never be the same from one player to another playing on the
same team or different teams. And yet ... awards are given and promotions
received based in part on these meaningless stats. The operative words are
"in part" - stats must be interpreted, tempered with other information one
has about the player.
And comparing Jagr's and Francis's points is just as ridiculous and absurd...
but not more ridiculous and absurd as comparing goals, assists, points, +\-
for Selanne, Lindros, Juneau, Potvin, and the other rookies in the league...
and yet...
How about looking at them for what they are and enjoy the game.

I must agree. There is a dizzying number of c.s.amiga.* newsgroups
already. In addition, there are very few issues which fall cleanly
into one of these categories.
Also, it is readily observable that the current spectrum of amiga
groups is already plagued with mega-crossposting; thus the group-split
would not, in all likelihood, bring about a more structured
environment.

Catcher is their weakest position, with the possible exception of second base.
They have a chance to simultaneously replace their biggest offensive problem
spot with a well-above-average offensive player *and* acclimate a highly
promising potential star with no pressure on him to carry the team, and they
want to play *Olson* and *Berryhill* instead?!
"A catcher's defensive reputation will be inversely proportional to his
recent offensive level of performance." Thus, Mickey Tettleton goes (in
the media) from being a no-hit defensive whiz to a slugging thumb-finger
in two short years. The rule doesn't apply to perceived "superstars", who
get the Gold Glove Offensive Transfer effect instead. Greg Olson is probably
considered to be a good defensive catcher precisely because he can't hit.
Aren't they the same thing?
Either that or just stupidity.
Of course.
One could make the same sort of argument in other cases. Pete Rose, in
pursuing Ty Cobb's record, was a huge gate attraction (and national media
magnet). The Reds made a lot of money off that; they also wasted the prime
of Eric Davis. That may be "good business", but that doesn't mean I don't
loathe them for it.

I haven't seen any speculation about it. But, the Salyut KB (Design Bureau)
was planning a new LH/LOX second stage for the Proton which would boost
payload to LEO from about 21000 to 31500 kg. (Geostationary goes from
2600 kg. (Gals launcher version) to 6000 kg.. This scheme was competing
with the Energia-M last year and I haven't heard which won, except now
I recently read that the Central Specialized KB was working on the
successor to the Soyuz booster which must be the Energia-M. So the early
results are Energia-M won, but this is a guess, nothing is very clear in
Russia. I'm sure if Salyut KB gets funds from someone they will continue
their development.
The Centaur for the Altas is about 3 meters dia. and the Proton
is 4 so that's a good fit for their existing upper stage, the Block-D
which sets inside a shround just under 4 meters dia. I don't know about
launch loads, etc.. but since the Centaur survives Titan launches which
are probably worse than the Proton (those Titan SRB's probably shake things
up pretty good) it seems feasible. EXCEPT, the Centaur is a very fragile
thing and may require integration on the pad which is not available now.
Protons are assembled and transported horizontially. Does anyone know
how much stress in the way of a payload a Centaur could support while
bolted to a Proton horizontally and then taken down the rail road track
and erected on the pad?
They would also need LOX and LH facilities added to the Proton pads
(unless the new Proton second stage is actually built), and of course
any Centaur support systems and facilities, no doubt imported from the
US at great cost. These systems may viloate US law so there are political
problems to solve in addition to the instabilities in the CIS you mention.

Is clear coat really worth it? Yes, on the showroom floor, the cars
have this deep, lustrous shine that just can't be found on paint jobs
that aren't clear coated. On the other hand, it seems that every clear
coated car that I've seen on the road (in a parking lot, etc.) has
fine scratches throughout the paint job. As does, alas, my 1992 Laser.
Several weeks ago I had my car professionally polished and waxed.
When I picked it up, it had that same showroom shine that I remember
from a year ago when I bought it. Several days ago I took my car
to the dealership for some work. As an added bonus, they washed my
car. Unfortunately, whoever washed it either didn't get the roof
(which is black, the rest of the car is red) completely clean before
he dried it, or he used a dirty towel. Now my showroom shine is a
haze of fine scratches that aren't really visible until the light
hits the roof at a particular angle.
I am, to put it mildy, somewhat peeved about this. Do I have any
chance of getting the dealership to do something about this?
My guess is 'no'. Is there any product on the market that provides
a solution to this problem? Or am I faced with the prospect of
having the car professionally polished again to hide the scratches?
Information, commiseration, and sympathy all greatly appreciated . . .

I think the original respondent (Guy Dawson?) was refering to something
much more elementary.
Every partition (whether it is the entire disk or not) has two FATs and
an initial directory.
If you have a small disk (50 meg or less), I would recommend that it remain
a single partition. Unless you have some other consideration.
If you have a large disk (greater than 200 meg), multiple partitions can
make sense.

I have a Paradise SVGA with 1Mb, the 90c030 chip (1D). The docs say that
I can display the following modes : 640x480x32k colours and 800x600x32k cols
if I have the RAMDAC HiColor Chip. I have checked the board and I do have
such a chip. Now, the problem is that I can't get this mode to work !
Graphics Workshop 6.1 claims that it can display 24 bit images dithered
down to 15 bit colour with my board, but it doesn't work. I have tried
writing some assembler code to get the modes working and I have found out
that each pixel is addressed by a word ( 16 bit ), but only the lower 8 bits
are considered ( this happens in 800x600 mode, the 640x480 mode refuses to
work i.e. remains in text mode ).
Could someone please help me.

____________________________________________________________________________
To: William J. Clinton
President of the United States of America
Mr. President:
I am writing to express my utter outrage at the conduct of various
government agencies in regards to the tragedy in Waco. I DEMAND
the dismissal or resignation of Lloyd Bensen, Secretary of the Treasury,
who bears responsibility for the initial helicopter and grenade attack
by the ATF against the Branch Davidians, and of Janet Reno, who authorized
the final assault on the very day that we were commemorating the Warsaw
ghetto revolt. And I would truly appreciate it if you would make
sure something like this never happens again on your watch.
Respectfully yours,

In their second year of existence
The Edmonton Oilers again right at the trade
deadline traded their captain, this time
B.J. McDonald to the Vancouver Canucks
along with the rights to winger Ken
Berry for Garry Lariviere and the rights
to Lars Gunner Petterson
as for more captain trivia, the next Edmonton
captain was Lee Fogilin who was later traded to
the Buffalo Sabres, after him was Wayne Gretzky
who was traded to L A, then came Kevin Low who
only this year was traded to the N Y Rangers
so that every captain the Edmonton Oilers have had
has been traded.
The present captain is Craig McTavish and we'll

While I can't think of any Corvettes with side mounted backup lights,
I know that Saab started using them about 15 years ago. My 1975 Saab 99
didn't have them, but a friend's 1978 Saab 99 certainly did. In addition
to the confentional tail-light mounted backup lights, they had another
set integrated into the front turn signal assembly. For those of you who
don't remember, Saabs of that vintage had an enormous multicoloured plastic
growth, about the size of a _National Geographic_ magazine, sticking out
of the front fender, which incorporated amber "parking lights", amber side
marker lights/reflectors, white "cornering lamps" (like American luxury
cars) aimed towards the side of the road when you have your turn indicators
on, and white "backup lights" aimed towards the back of the car when you
have selected reverse gear. The glossy brochure showed how these front
mounted backup lights were useful for illuminating hazards (pot holes, kid's
toys, etc) that would be run over by the front of the car if you had the
wheels turned while backing up.

The STANDARD AT bus (ISA) runs at 8MHz, not 12.5 MHz, but some
non-stnadard ISA buses do have higher clock rates, but be careful, since
some boards don't work with faster than standard rates. For instance, my
486 has adjustable AT bus speeds, and my PAS16 audio card chokes when I do
AD data acquisition with a bus speed faster than 10MHz.
The fact that non-turbo-mode speed A/D doesn't work is weird. You may
have a motherboard with a hardware 'bug'.
33 MHz bus on the 486DX2 66 does refer to the local bus. FYI: the AT bus
operates asynchronously, and is linked to the local bus via a 'bus
interface', which is one function that your 'chipset'.

I don't have the wiretap statute handy. But here's what the law says

----
18 USC S. 3121 Pen Registers (as of 4/93)
S. 3121. General prohibition on pen register and trap and trace device
use; exception
(a) In general. Except as provided in this section, no person may
install or use a pen register or a trap and trace device without first
obtaining a court order under section 3123 of this title or under the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (50 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
.....
S. 3125. Emergency pen register and trap and trace device
installation
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter , any
investigative or law enforcement officer, specially designated by the
Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Associate Attorney
General, any Assistant Attorney General, any acting Assistant Attorney
General, or any Deputy Assistant Attorney General, or by the principal
prosecuting attorney of any State or subdivision thereof acting pursuant
to a statute of that State, who reasonably determines that--
(1) an emergency situation exists that involves--
(A) immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury to any person;
or
(B) conspiratorial activities characteristic of organized crime,
that requires the installation and use of a pen register or a trap
and trace device before an order authorizing such installation and use
can, with due diligence, be obtained, and
(2) there are grounds upon which an order could be entered under this
chapter to authorize such installation and use "may have installed and
use a pen register or trap and trace device if, within forty-eight
hours after the installation has occurred, or begins to occur, an order
approving the installation or use is issued in accordance with section
3123 of this title."
(b) In the absence of an authorizing order, such use shall
immediately terminate when the information sought is obtained, when the
application for the order is denied or when forty-eight hours have
lapsed since the installation of the pen register or trap and trace
device, whichever is earlier.

I don't know how to say it best but you are gaurenteed that the
price of the C650 is going to drop this year. This week's MacWeek
reports that Apple is probably planning a drop in August. My guess
is that it may come sooner if Apple decides to change the price
structure upon release of the multimedia units this summer.
Your price looks pretty good at about $50 more then I payed for
mine last month. I would have rather waited for one of the new
machines this sommer (like the Cyclone) but the resale value of my
IIci would have not been squat by then. Thus, financing forced me
to purchase now. I'm happy with the machine and won't feel
betrayed at all when Apple cuts the price to less then $1000 next
week (heh).
Bottome line: If the C650 does what you want, buy it. If you wait
until the Cylcones come out for a price break then you might as
well wait for the PowerPCs to come out for another price break and
then the units which follow them. You may save some money but
you've lost a lot of time when you could have been using the
computer. Face it, Apple's prices are going to be in a continuous
state of flux. At least they aren't going to try raising them
again (grin).

: Am I justified in being pissed off at this doctor?
:
: Last Saturday evening my 6 year old son cut his finger badly with a knife.
: I took him to a local "Urgent and General Care" clinic at 5:50 pm. The
: clinic was open till 6:00 pm. The receptionist went to the back and told the
: doctor that we were there, and came back and told us the doctor would not
: see us because she had someplace to go at 6:00 and did not want to be delayed
: here. During the next few minutes, in response to my questions, with several
: trips to the back room, the receptionist told me:
: - the doctor was doing paperwork in the back,
: - the doctor would not even look at his finger to advise us on going
: to the emergency room;
: - the doctor would not even speak to me;
: - she would not tell me the doctor's name, or her own name;
: - when asked who is in charge of the clinic, she said "I don't know."
:
: I realize that a private clinic is not the same as an emergency room, but
: I was quite angry at being turned away because the doctor did not want to
: be bothered. My son did get three stitches at the emergency room.
Speaking as a physician who works in an urgent care center, the above
behavior is completely inappropriate. If a patient who requires extensive
care shows up at the last minute, we always see them and give them appropriate
care. It is reasonable for a clinic to refuse to see patients outside of its
posted hours, but what you describe is misbehavior. Ask to speak to the
clinic director, and complain. Whatever their attitude, they have nothing to
gain from angering patients.

103D CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. R. 1276
To establish the right to obtain firearms for security, and to use firearms
in defense of self, family, or home, and to provide for the enforcement
of such right.
=======================
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 10, 1993
Mr. BARTLETT introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
=======================
A BILL
To establish the right to obtain firearms for security, and
to use firearms in defense of self, family, or home, and
to provide for the enforcement of such right.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the "Citizens' Self-Defense
Act of 1993".
SEC. 2. RIGHT TO OBTAIN FIREARMS FOR SECURITY, AND
TO USE FIREARMS IN DEFENSE OF SELF,
FAMILY, OR HOME; ENFORCEMENT.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT OF RIGHT. -- A person not pro-
hibited by Federal law from receiving a firearm shall have
the right to obtain firearms for security, and to use fire-
arms in defense of self, family, or home.
(b) FIREARM DEFINED. -- As used in subsection (a),
the term "firearm" means a --
(1) shotgun (as defined in section 921(a)(5) of
title 18, United States Code);
(2) rifle (as defined in section 921(a)(7) of such
title); or
(3) handgun (as defined in section 10 of Public
law 99-408).
(c) ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHT. --
(1) IN GENERAL. -- A person whose right under
subsection (a) is violated in any manner may bring
an action in any United States district court against
the United States, any State, or any person for
damages, injunctive relief, and such other relief as
the court deems appropriate.
(2) AUTHORITY TO AWARD A REASONABLE AT-
TORNEY'S FEE. -- In an action brought under para-
graph (1), the court, in its discretion, may allow the
prevailing party, other than a State, a reasonable
attorney's fee as part of the costs.
(d) STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. -- An action may not
be brought under subsection (c)(1) after the 5-year period
that begins with the date the violation described therein
is discovered.
------------------------ (end of HR 1276) ------------------------
Well, this sounds good to me. The key is Section (2)(c)(2), which
will effectively open up the Federal court system to all the folks
who can't afford to adopt an Attorney with whom to fight city hall.
All of you who've been saying "hey, isn't that illegal?" could just
go hire your own Attorneys on a pay-if-you-win ("contingency fee")
basis, and sue the bums ... :-)
What you can do now:
(1) Write your Representative, and ask them to co-sponsor HR 1276.
(2) Write Representative Roscoe Bartlett, the sponsor --
Representative Roscoe Bartlett
312 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
-- to tell him who your own Representative is, and that you've
asked them to join him as a co-sponsor of HR 1276.
(3) Contact Gun Owners of America --
Gun Owners of America
8001 Forbes Place
Springfield, Virginia 22151
-- which has committed to lobby on behalf of HR 1276.
(4) For those of us with a RealJob (TM), find out how to reach
Representative Bartlett's campaign fund (I'm working on it)
and toss in a few bucks. You can bet your bippy that he's
going to be one of the HCI "targets" in the next election,
which isn't that far away (1994).

If I'm wrong, god is free at any time to correct my mistake. That
he continues not to do so, while supposedly proclaiming his
undying love for my eternal soul, speaks volumes.
As for the trap, you are not in a position to tell me that I don't
believe in god because I do not wish to. Unless you can know my
motivations better than I do myself, you should believe me when I
say that I earnestly searched for god for years and never found
him.

I think it all depends on your motherboard and the cards you have in your system. Your HD stopped boot probably because your HD controller can't handle the faster BUS speed. I have a 486-33DX, I set my bus divider to CLK/2.5, that is close to 13MHz. I can gain singificant performace increase on my Video card and harddisk transfer rate when I boost the bus speed. And my system work flawlessly under this setting. And you know what, when I go to CLK/2(17MHz BUS), my HD refuse to boot.
Just my 2 cent.

I am sorry you find these charges amusing, Mark. I understand your
frustration though--it can be kind of scary to find your assumptions
challenged. Some of the specific cultural interference to which I refer
includes linguistic manipulation, for instance, their Tzotzil-Spanish
dictionary removed both Spanish and Tzotzil words for concepts which are
threatening to the ruling ideology, e.g., class, conquer, exploitation,
repression, revolution, and described words which can express
ideological concepts in examples like "Boss--the boss is good. He treats
us well and pays us a good wage." As some of my students would say,
"NOT!"
Your tone implies that you are unlikely to believe me--indeed, why
should you? If you are interested enough to do some further research
though, and you sound as if you are, here are some references for you.

It will not work in any high reolution modes either. The people who

that supports both local-bus and hi-res. BTW does anyone know the

I have a cheap solar charger that I keep in my car. I purchased it via
some mail order catalog when the 4 year old battery in my Oldsmobile would
run down during Summer when I was riding my bike more than driving my car.
Knowing I'd be selling the car in a year or so, I purchased the charger.
Believe it or not, the thing worked. The battery held a charge and
energetically started the car, many times after 4 or 5 weeks of just
sitting.
Eventually I had to purchase a new battery anyway because the Winter sun
wasn't strong enough due to its low angle.
I think I paid $29 or $30 for the charger. There are more powerful, more
expensive ones, but I purchased the cheapest one I could find.
I've never used it on the bike because I have an E-Z Charger on it and
keep it plugged in all the time the bike is garaged.

Dale Hunter ties the game, scoring his third goal of the game
with 2.7 seconds remaining in regulation.
You could feel it coming on.
"Due to contractual agreements, ESPN will be unable to carry
the rest of this game live, so that we may show you a worthless
early-season battle between those two pennant contenders, the
Cleveland Indians and the California Angels. When the winning
goal is scored, we WILL do the grave injustice of breaking into the
baseball game -- something reserved only for the deaths of Presidents
or the trading of Joe Montana to the Chiefs -- to show you the
goal on instant replay.

Typical 'Arromdian' of the ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism and Revisionism
Triangle. Well, does it change the fact that during the period of 1914
to 1920, the Armenian Government ordered, incited, assisted and participated
in the genocide of 2.5 million Muslim people because of race, religion
and national origin?
1) Armenians did slaughter the entire Muslim population of Van.[1,2,3,4,5]
2) Armenians did slaughter 42% of Muslim population of Bitlis.[1,2,3,4]
3) Armenians did slaughter 31% of Muslim population of Erzurum.[1,2,3,4]
4) Armenians did slaughter 26% of Muslim population of Diyarbakir.[1,2,3,4]
5) Armenians did slaughter 16% of Muslim population of Mamuretulaziz.[1,2,3,4]
6) Armenians did slaughter 15% of Muslim population of Sivas.[1,2,3,4]
7) Armenians did slaughter the entire Muslim population of the x-Soviet
Armenia.[1,2,3,4]

"In those Moslem villages in the plain below which had been searched for
arms by the Armenians everything had been taken under the cloak of such
search, and not only had many Moslems been killed, but horrible tortures
had been inflicted in the endeavour to obtain information as to where
valuables had been hidden, of which the Armenians were aware of the
existence, although they had been unable to find them."
p. 175 (first paragraph)
"The arrival of this British brigade was followed by the announcement
that Kars Province had been allotted by the Supreme Council of the
Allies to the Armenians, and that announcement having been made, the
British troops were then completely withdrawn, and Armenian occupation
commenced. Hence all the trouble; for the Armenians at once commenced
the wholesale robbery and persecution of the Muslem population on the
pretext that it was necessary forcibly to deprive them of their arms.
In the portion of the province which lies in the plains they were able
to carry out their purpose, and the manner in which this was done will
be referred to in due course."

I have (had) several problems with the card.
- Applications crashed when moving the mouse (VGA mode). Fixed by removing
the line STACKS=0,0 from config.sys. The default value STACKS=9,256
does just fine.
- Random white pixels all over the screen when moving the mouse, in a
256 color graphical mode (the hardware cursor modes). Fixed by turning
off the hardware scroll ("24xmode scrolloff") before entering the graphics
mode. This also fixed the problem of the windowed DOS boxes under windows.
With the hardware scroll enabled, applications write garbage outside the
window.
- The screensavers do not remove the cursor in 256 color modes (hardware
cursor). I don't know if this is a windows problem or a driver problem.
Clearly there should be two types of cursor removing functions: a remove-
for-draw, which can be ignored for hardware cursors and a remove-
unconditionally. Do other cards with hardware cursors have the same problem?
- The VESA driver does not support the 640x480x16M TrueColor mode. (Universal
VESA drivers do not run at all).

II. The deuterocanonicals are not in the canon because
they are not quoted by the NT authors.
That is not quite accurate. Otherwise we would have the book
of Enoch in the canon (as Dave noted). One can say that the
apocrypha are not quoted by Christ.
III. The deuterocanonicals are not in the canon because
they teach doctrines contrary to the (uncontroverted)
parts of the canon.
then I answer:
These is a logically invalid *a priori*.
Besides, we are talking about OT texts-
which in many parts are superceded by the NT
(in the Xtian view). Would not this same
principle exclude _Ecclesiastes_?
This principle cannot be consistently applied.
I have to reject your argument here. The Spirit speaks with one
voice, and he does not contradict himself.
The ultimate test of canonicity is whether the words are inspired
by the Spirit, i.e., God-breathed. It is a test which is more
guided by faith than by reason or logic. The early church decided
that the Apocrypha did not meet this test--even though some books
such as The Wisdom of Ben Sirach have their uses. For example,
the Lutheran hymn "Now Thank We All Our God" quotes a passage
from this book.
The deutero-canonical books were added much later in the church's
history. They do not have the same spiritual quality as the
rest of Scripture. I do not believe the church that added these
books was guided by the Spirit in so doing. And that is where
this sort of discussion ultimately ends.

The manta was a two-door sedan in the US.
It had a 1900 engine.
Was sometimes referred to as an Opel 1900.
Manta's are also ve hot and fun cars too.

This is one of those sticky areas of medicine where battles frequently
rage. With respect to your OB, I suspect that she has been certified in
ultrasound diagnostics, and is thus allowed to use it and bill for its
use. Many cardiologists also use ultrasound (echocardiography), and are
in fact considered by many to be the 'experts'. I am not sure where OBs
stand in this regard, but I suspect that they are at least as good as the
radioligists (flame-retardant suit ready).

These are the figures from the Performance Bikes lock test, taken without
permission of course. The price is for comparison. All the cable locks
have some sort of armour, the chain locks are padlock and chain. Each
lock was tested for a maximum of ten minutes (600 secs) for each test:
BJ Bottle jack
CD Cutting disc
BC Bolt croppers
GAS Gas flame
The table should really be split into immoblisers (for-a-while) and
lock-to-somethings (for-a-short-while) to make comparisons.

Pretty depressing reading. I think a good lock and some common sense about
where and when you park your bike is the only answer. I've spent all my
spare time over the last two weeks landscaping (trashing) the garden of
my (and two friends with bikes) new house to accommodate our three bikes in
relative security (never underestimate how much room a bike requires to
manouver in a walled area :( ). Anyway, since the weekend there are only two
bikes :( and no, he didn't use his Abus closed shackle lock, it was too much
hassle to take with him when visiting his parents. A minimum wait of 8
weeks (if they don't decide to investigate) for the insurance company
to make an offer and for the real haggling to begin.
Abus are a German company and it would seem not well represented in the US
but very common in the UK. The UK distributor, given in the above article
is:
Michael Brandon Ltd,
15/17 Oliver Crescent,
Hawick,
Roxburgh TD9 9BJ.
Tel. 0450 73333
The UK distributors for the other locks can also given if required.
Don't lose it

: I have one complaint for the cameramen doing the Jersey-Pitt series: Show
: the shots, not the hits. On more than one occassion the camera zoomed in
: on a check along the boards while the puck was in the slot. They panned

Exactly. That is my biggest complaint about the coverage so far.

stocked firearms store, I discovered a printed document that was being
distributed by the good folks who work there. Traders, BTW, is located in
San Leandro, CA.
Granted, the document may be asking you and I to help out Traders, but in the
big scope of things, I feel that we would do all gun owners a favor by helping
to this cause.
Anyway, here it is:
NEWSPAPER AD CENSORSHIP
Are you letting the newspapers tell you how to live your life, what's good for
you, what's not, and exercise blatant censorship over what you read in their
advertisments?
The newspapers have now decided to censor gun ads - which is why you no longer
see the ads that Traders, San Leandro, has run for many years.
These ads were run for the law-abiding honest citizens who own firearms for
sporting use or self-protection. They certainly have the right to do so, under
the Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms.
If you are tired of newspapers who run sex and liquor ads galor, yet refuse to
run legitimate gun ads, please send a letter to the editors indicating your
displeasure over their censorship doctrine.
Following is a list of Bay area newspapers who censor gun ads. Perhaps you'd
like to send them your thoughts on this issue!

Then there are six pages of "facts". I can not validate these facts, and
there were no sources, but many feel and sound very true. Here are the topic
headlines:
- Big Media Snow Job
- Blaming Firearms for Murder is Like Blaming Hospitals for Death
- I could use the same Nazi Journalistic Technique of CBS and ABC to prove
that Hospitals Cause Death
- How NBC, CBS, and ABC have scammed the American people on "gun control"
- American TV journalism is based on Nazi journalism
- Why TV journalists lie
- The Government with the help of the TV networks, has succeeded in playing
one group against the other
- Gun laws are unconstitutional
- American gun laws are based on Nazi gun laws
- The Government is trying to devide and conquer
- The CIA wants your firearms
and so on for six pages.
So now we have the media trying help put gun dealers out of business by trying
to limit their exposure to potential customers, and preventing the customers
from reading about sales of ammunition and firearms for sporting, hunting, or
other recreational use.
Let me know if you write to any of these bozos.

Would the sub-orbital version be suitable as-is (or "as-will-be") for use
as a reuseable sounding rocket?
Thank Ghod! I had thought that Spacelifter would definitely be the
bastard Son of NLS.
(And just as a reminder:)

Sorry I can't help you with your question, but I do have a comment to
make concerning aftermarket A/C units. I have a Frost-King or Frost-Temp
(forget which) aftermarket unit on my Cavalier, and am quite unhappy with
it. The fan is noisy, and doesn't put out much air. I will never have
an aftermarket A/C installed in any of my vehicles again. I just can't
trust the quality and performance after this experience.

Title says it all. I'd be particularly interested in the performance
difference. Just how much faster (50%?) is the Centris 610 over the LCIII?

Again, from my alcohol server's class:
The absolute *most* that eating before drinking can do is slow the absorption
down by 15 minutes. That gives me time to eat, slam one beer, and ride like
hell to try to make it home in the 10 minutes left after paying, donning
helmet & gloves, starting bike...

I will answer this as I find time.
Notice what I said about this book. I called it "Easy reading." The reason I
dropped philosphy as my major was because I ran into too many pharisaical
Simon's. I don't know how many walking encyclopedia's I ran across in
philosphy classes. The problem isn't in knowing sooooo much more than your
average lay person, the problem comes when you become puffed up about it.
Schaeffer is just fine for the average lay person. That was who he was
writting to. I suppose that you would have criticised John that his gospel was
to simple. I've talked with Schaeffer one on one. I've been in lectures with
the man when he was being drilled by philosphy students and prof's from secular
as well as Christian universities. (ND alone would fill both those catagories)
His answers were enough that the prof's themselves often were taken back and
caused to re-think what their question was. I saw this time and time again at
different open forums. So yes, Schaeffers books are by in large, well,
simplistic. It certainly isn't grad level reading. But we must get off our
high horses when it comes to recommended reading. Do you seriously think most
people would get through the first chapter of Wittgenstein? I may have more to
say about this secular scientist at another time.
Also, one must finally get beyond the doubt caused by *insistent*
inquisitiveness. One cannot live his life constantly from a cartisian doubt
base.
Look, the Christian wholeheartedly supports genuine rationality. But we must
add a qualification to give this balance. Christianity is second to none in
keeping reason in its place. We never know the value of a thing until we know
its limits. Put unlimited value on something and in the end you will exhaust
it of all value!
THis is why Xianity is thoroughly rational but not the least bit rationalistic.
It also explains the curious fact that it is rationalism, and not Christian
faith, which leads to irrationality. If we forget the limits of a thing, we
fly in the face of reality and condem ourselves to learn the simple ironic
lesson of life:
"More without limits is less; less with limits is more."
Or as I have so often stated it, freedom without form soon becomes form w/o
freedom.
Let's put it another way. The rationality of faith is implacably opposed to
absurdity but has no quarrel with mystery. Think about that. It can tell the
difference between the two if you will let it. Christianity's contention with
rationalism is not that it has too much reason in it, but that it has very
little else. When a Christian comes to faith his understanding and his trust
go hand in hand, but as he continues in faith his trust may sometimes be called
to go on by itself without his understanding.
This is where the principle of suspended judgment applies. At such time if the
Christian faith is to be itself and let God be God, it must suspend judgment
and say, "Father I do not understand you but I trust you." Now don't read all
your objections of me into that statement. I wasn't saying I do not understand
you at all, but I trust you anyway." It means that "I do not understand You *in
this situation* but I do understand *why I trust You* anyway" Therefore I can
trust that you understand even though I do not. The former is a mystery
unrelieved by rationality and indistinguishable from absurdity. The latter is
a statement of rationality of faith walking hand in hand with the mystery of
Faith. So.... the principle of suspended judgment is not irrational. It is
not a leap of faith but a walk of faith. As believers we cannot always know
why, but we canalways know why we trust God who knows why and this makes all
the difference.
Now, there is one obvious snag to all this and this is where I have parted
company with philosophy- what is eminently reasonable in theory is a rather bit
more difficult in practice. In practice the pressure of mystery acts on faith
like the insistent "whying" of a 3 year old. It isn't just that we would like
to know what we do not know but that we feel we *must* know what we cannot
know. The one produces frustration because curiosity is denied; the other
leads to genuine anguish. More specifically the poorer our understanding is in
coming to faith the more necessary it will be to understand everything after
coming to faith. If we do not know why we trust God, then we will always need
to know exactly what God is doing in order to trust him. Failing to grasp
that, we may not be able to trust him, for anything we do not understand may
count decisevely against what we are able to trust.
If, on the other hand, we do know why we trust God, we will be able to trust
him in situations where we do not understand what He is doing. (Too many Xian
leaders teach as if the Christian had a window in the back of his head which
allows for understanding at every foot fall) For what God is doing may be
ambiguous, but it will not be inherently contradictory! It may be mystery to
us, but mystery is only inscrutable; what would be insufferable is absurdity.
And that my friend, was the conclusion of Nietzche both in theory and in
practice.
