Subject: Brendan McKay Clarifies the Nazi Racial Theory
Organization: Cirrus Logic Inc.
Lines: 59
Only Brendan McKay, or maybe ARF, would come to the rescue of Nazi
racial theory. Is it distressing Brendan? The point is that any
eugenic solution to the Jewish Problem as Elias has proposed smacks
of pure Nazism. The fact that Elias' proposal cast the entire "problem"
as one of the abnormal presence of Israeli society in the Middle East,
and that he buried a slam against U.S. aid to Israel in the midst of
his "even-handed" solution of the Jewish Question, made it obvious what
he had in mind: disolving the Jewish polity. That *is* a Nazi doctrine:
rectification of the "abnormal presence" of the Jewish people within a
larger body politic. Whether your "solution" involves gas, monetary
incentives to the poor Jews to marry out, or as Feisal Husseini has
said, "disolve the Zionist entity by forcing it to engage the normal
surrounding Arab culture," you are engaged in a Nazi project.
Just as obvious is your statement: "I will not comment on the value
or lack of value of Elias's proposal." Still striking the glancing
blow, right Brendan? You could easily see where he was going, but you
"will not comment." So, you are complicitous.
What is your fascination with Nazi racial theory, anyway?

You and the Beav should lighten up (esp the Beav). I agree that
DUI/DWI is serious. We should have reasonable laws, strict
enforcement, and tough sentences. But, Andrew did not
post "looking for sympathy over the consequences." He posted
asking for advice because he had an extremely high quote. His
post was obviously valid because he later found insurance for LESS.
He noted why he was in his predicament but did not defend in
any way drunk driving (and has renounced drunk driving). There
are too many repeat offenders to worry about and other BDC.
Why try to make this person who is no longer part of the problem
an outcast? He has paid his debt to society. Step off the high
horse. We have all been irresponsible in the past.
With that said, I'm guilty of the same type of hostility towards
rapists. I think it comes because I feel the punishment is not
severe enough. The same may be true of DWI/DUI. If that is the
case, then it is our stinkin' gubment we need to change. If
we had a reasonable law about DWI/DUI with a stiff penalty
then fewer people would do it.
At any rate, Andrew as paid his debt as defined by the law.
If you think that debt is actually greater than the law mandates,
tell your 'representatives'.

I hope you realize that for a cellular phone, you need to subscribe to a

Actually, I could care less what his salary is. It has something to do
with the fact that we live in America, and everyone is entitled to
whatever he can legally obtain. If Sandy Alderson and the Haas family
willingly negotiate a salary of $35 million per year with Rickey, I couldn't
care less.
But what REALLY GETS MY GOAT is the bullshit he spouted in spring training,
about `Well... sometimes I may not play as hard, or might be hurt more
often, in a place where I'm not appreciated'. This quote was in the Chronicle
about the second week of camp, and strongly suggests that he was going to
dog it all year if the ownership didn't kiss his butt and ante up some
more money. For God's sake, Rickey, you signed a contract 4 years ago,
now honor it and play!
Say all you want to about Steve Garvey, and believe
me, I hated him too, but at least when he put his signature on a piece
of paper he shut his mouth and played hard until the contract was up.

Hi,
I am working on gathering data on the way that users use
computers. This involves getting subjects to type and use a
mouse. I want to be able to watch what they are doing without
being in the same room. It would be ideal if I could watch
the session on another monitor without the subjects knowledge.
I believe that spliting the monitor cable will only work for
short distances, ie <5m. I will need to be approx 10m away, as
the cable travels.
The PC's are connected to a TCP\IP network and run Windows 3.1.
Is there any software that will allow me to watch what is
happening on another PC?

Okay, that's good. I'm typing this from exactly the same setup.

Make sure you're using "ssetroot", which comes with tvtwm. When tvtwm
starts up, it nukes the existing root window. Use an "ssetroot" after
tvtwm starts up. (You could spawn off a "(sleep 10; ssetroot ...)&")
You can also use "VirtualDesktopBackgroundPixmap filename" or just
VirtualDesktopBackground if you just want another color besides grey.

Did you install the sunkbd patch? It's in the contrib directory on export.
All the keys on my keyboard send events properly, except the following:
The End, PageUp, PageDown on the 6-key cluster aren't recognized.
Even the compose key works. (Though I can't seem to get the composed
characters in an xterm to get passed.)

Consider this: The BDs had more than one lamp; The tanks made more than
one hole in the building. Did anyone else notice on the video that it
appeared that wherever there was smoke coming out of the building, there
was a tank nearby?
The fact that it appears that fires started in several places does not

Also, where are these several witnesses? The way I heard it (from the FBI

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41
Nntp-Posting-Host: tm0006.lerc.nasa.gov
Organization: NASA Lewis Research Center / Cleveland, Ohio
Lines: 76
NASA Headquarters distributed the following press
release today (4/6). I've typed it in verbatim, for you
folks to chew over. Many of the topics recently
discussed on sci.space are covered in this.
Gibbons Outlines Space Station Redesign Guidance
Dr. John H. Gibbons, Director, Office of Science and
Technology Policy, outlined to the members-designate of
the Advisory Committee on the Redesign of the Space
Station on April 3, three budget options as guidance to
the committee in their deliberations on the redesign of
the space station.
A low option of $5 billion, a mid-range option of $7
billion and a high option of $9 billion will be
considered by the committee. Each option would cover
the total expenditures for space station from fiscal
year 1994 through 1998 and would include funds for
development, operations, utilization, Shuttle
integration, facilities, research operations support,
transition cost and also must include adequate program
reserves to insure program implementation within the
available funds.
Over the next 5 years, $4 billion is reserved within
the NASA budget for the President's new technology
investment. As a result, station options above $7
billion must be accompanied by offsetting reductions in
the rest of the NASA budget. For example, a space
station option of $9 billion would require $2 billion
in offsets from the NASA budget over the next 5 years.
Gibbons presented the information at an organizational
session of the advisory committee. Generally, the
members-designate focused upon administrative topics
and used the session to get acquainted. They also
received a legal and ethics briefing and an orientation
on the process the Station Redesign Team is following
to develop options for the advisory committee to
consider.
Gibbons also announced that the United States and its
international partners -- the Europeans, Japanese, and
Canadians -- have decided, after consultation, to give
"full consideration" to use of Russian assets in the
course of the space station redesign process.
To that end, the Russians will be asked to participate
in the redesign effort on an as-needed consulting
basis, so that the redesign team can make use of their
expertise in assessing the capabilities of MIR and the
possible use of MIR and other Russian capabilities and
systems. The U.S. and international partners hope to
benefit from the expertise of the Russian participants
in assessing Russian systems and technology. The
overall goal of the redesign effort is to develop
options for reducing station costs while preserving key
research and exploration capabilities. Careful
integration of Russian assets could be a key factor in
achieving that goal.
Gibbons reiterated that, "President Clinton is
committed to the redesigned space station and to making
every effort to preserve the science, the technology
and the jobs that the space station program represents.
However, he also is committed to a space station that
is well managed and one that does not consume the
national resources which should be used to invest in
the future of this industry and this nation."
NASA Administrator Daniel S. Goldin said the Russian
participation will be accomplished through the East-
West Space Science Center at the University of Maryland
under the leadership of Roald Sagdeev.

(just an interrupting comment here) Since EARLY 1980's , israelis said they are

Ok. I donot know why there are israeli voices against negotiations. However,
i would guess that is because they refuse giving back a land for those who
have the right for it.
As for the Arabian and Palestinean voices that are against the
current negotiations and the so-called peace process, they
are not against peace per se, but rather for their well-founded predictions
that Israel would NOT give an inch of the West bank (and most probably the same
for Golan Heights) back to the Arabs. An 18 months of "negotiations" in Madrid,
and Washington proved these predictions. Now many will jump on me saying why
are you blaming israelis for no-result negotiations.
I would say why would the Arabs stall the negotiations, what do they have to
loose ?
Arabs feel that the current "negotiations" is ONLY for legitimizing the current
status-quo and for opening the doors of the Arab markets for israeli trade and
"oranges". That is simply unacceptable and would be revoked.
Just an opinion.

Yes, this is certainly one of the traditional ideas about the Mithraic
cult (although not the only one.) It had many elements that seem
to have been borrowed by Catholicism (e.g. the Mass, communion, the
sharing of a sacred meal, consecration of bread and wine, etc.)
For quite an amusing novel that uses this same idea, check out:
The Covenant of the Flame
by David Morrell.
It has some quite interesting occult bits, and lots of killing.
I won't spoil it by revealing the ending, but I will say that it
is relevant to Mithraism.

The rumour was basically everywhere in Toronto based on reports
that Keenan has told both San Jose and Philadelphia that he
was no longer interested in pursuing further negotiations with
either team.
The Ranger announcement is supposed to happen tomorrow supposedly.
The Rangers have so many veterans that they had to get a coach

I don't know if you could call him rushed, but "Big" Ben McDonald didn't
much time at all in the minors. Of course that was because the balls used
in AAA had seams too large and gave McDonald blisters forcing him to go
on the DL several times. He's done most of his learning here in the majors.
Of course Gregg "Wild Thing" Olson and Mike "Deserved a Cy Young" Mussina
didn't spend much time in the minors either. I read somewhere that pitchers
are less likely to need that much time in the minors anyway so maybe that
has something to do with it.

Hi Janet,
Sounds exactly like mine. Same circumstance, same onset symptoms,
same cafergot uselessness, same duration. In fact, of all the people
I know who have migraines, none have been so similar. There is such
a wide variation between people with respect to what causes their
headaches, that I generally don't bother sharing what I've learned
about mine, but since ours seem to be alike, here are my observations.
I don't think it's heat, per se (I've had more in winter than summer).
Dehydration could conceivably figure, though. Try tanking up before
playing rather than after.
Being in shape doesn't seem to help me much, either.
I've identified four factors that do make a difference (listed in
descending order of importance):
1) Heavy exercise
2) Sleep deprivation
3) Fasting (e.g., skipped breakfast)
4) Physical trauma (e.g., head bonk)
Heavy exercise has preceded all of my post-adolescent migraines, but I
don't get migraines after every heavy exercise session. One or more of
the other factors *must* be present (usually #2). Since I discovered
this, I've been nearly migraine-free -- relapsing only once every two
or three years when I get cocky ("It's been so long, maybe I just don't
get them anymore") and stop being careful.
Hope this is helpful.
John.

I am not sure what caused it. I think there might have been

I don't understand the assumption that because something is found to
be carcinogenic that "it would not be legal in the U.S.". I think that
naturally occuring substances (excluding "controlled" substances) are
pretty much unregulated in terms of their use as food, food additives
or other "consumption". It's only when the chemists concoct (sp?) an
ingredient that it falls under FDA regulations. Otherwise, if they
really looked closely they would find a reason to ban almost everything.
How in the world do you suppose it's legal to "consume" tobacco products
(which probably SHOULD be banned)?

Wishful thinking mostly. It's more likely that the Moon will never
be the site of major commercial activity. As far as we know it has no
materials we can't get cheaper right here on Earth or from asteroids
and comets, aside from the semi-mythic He3 that *might* be useful in low
grade fusion reactors. Exploring it would satisfy a curiosity itch,
and it's position in the gravity well of Earth coupled with it's heat
sink capacity could offer some military utility for "high ground" military
weapons systems, but it holds very minute commercial value. If space
travel becomes cheap enough, it might become a tourist attraction as
Mt. Everest and the Antarctic have become, but that's a very minor
activity in the global scope of things.
Luna has an inconvienent gravity field. It's likely too low to prevent
calcium loss, muscle atrophy, and long term genetic drift. Yet it's
too high to do micro-G manufacturing. Space based colonies and factories
that can be spun to any convienent value of G look much better. Luna
has a modest vacuum and raw solar exposure two weeks a month, but orbital
sites can have better vacuums and continous solar exposure. Luna offers
a source of light element rocks that can serve as raw materials, heatsink,
and shielding. The asteroids and comets offer sources of both light and
heavy elements, and volatile compounds, and many are in less steep gravity
wells so that less delta-v is required to reach them.
We don't use 2/3rds of the Earth now, the seafloors, and we virtually
ignore Antarctica, a whole continent. That's because we don't have to
deal with those conditions in order to make a buck. Luna is a much more
expensive place to visit, or to live and work. I think we'll use the
easier places first. That pushes Lunar development back at least a few
centuries, if not much longer.
Luna's main short term value would be as a place for a farside radio
astronomy observatory, shielded from the noisy Earth. Or as the site
of a laser, particle beam, or linear accelerator weapons system for
defending Earth, or bombarding it as the case may be. The first is
unlikely because of the high cost for such a basic science instrument.
The second is just as unlikely because conventional nukes are good
enough, and the military would really rather see the Earth safe for
conventional warfare again. There's little glory in watching from a
bunker as machines fight each other over continental ranges. Little
ultimate profit either.

If you want to talk "less likely to get killed with a handgun"
you'd have a point. "Safer" includes other things than simply handguns,
and you can't conclude "safer" by ignoring them.
Now if somebody's got the total homicide rates...

Hi,
I am not sure where to post this message, please contact me if I'm way off
the mark.
On 19.3.93 my wife went to her General Practitioner (Doctor). He mentioned
an article from a medical journal that is of great interest to us. He had
read it in the previous three months but has been unable to find it again.
The article was about Whiplash Injury/Cervical Pain. It mentions the use of
a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagery) machine as a diagnostic tool and the work
of a neurosurgeon who relived cervical pain.
This article is most likely in an Australian medical journal. I very much
want to obtain the name of the article, journal and author because the case
matches my wife. We would very much appreciate anyone's help in this matter
via email preferably.

It's an experiment, place a not so subliminal, slightly
cagey message in front of a viewer and see how long it takes to create a response, and what was the response...
It was the same thing with the "Blow me" message, only it had a
quicker response time...and some unexpected responses along with the
expectedly negative ones...
Anyone see how long that took?

If you mean "reactive" hypoglycemia, there are usually no symptoms,
hence there is no disease, hence the dietary recommendations are the
same as for anyone else. If a patient complains of dizziness,
faintness, sweating, palpitations, etc. reliably several hours after
a big meal, the recommendations are obvious - eat smaller meals.

Beleive it or not: NY state once considered eliminating tolls for motor-
cycles based simply on the fact that motos clog up toll booths. But then
Mario realized the foolishness of trading a few hundred K $`s a year for
some relief in traffic congestion.

The Selective Service Registration should be abolished. To start with, the

and military experts agree that the quality of the armed forces is superior
with a volunteer army than with draftees. Finally, the government has us
on many lists in many computers (the IRS, Social Security Admistration and
Motor Vehicle Registries to name a few) and it can find us if it needs to.

I just ordered a Saturn SL1 after considering a few imports. Frankly, the Saturn
way of doing business and service was a *very* big plus. I hadn't bought a new
car since I bought my Honda 4WD back in '85, and I was unbelieveably offended by
most salespeople I met.
Saturn was indeed very different. I made three different visits to the dealer where
I bought my car, and was never pressured. Saturn also had the best after-sales
support, and the fixed pricing made it *very* easy for me to decide exactly what
I wanted to buy. Another big selling point was running into my mechanic at the
dealer. He's been fixing imports for 20 years...and bought a Saturn, based on
what he's seen and heard from his customers.
Saturn also has a good extended warranty program; $675 for 6 year/60K miles,
fully refunded if you don't use it. That works out to an actual cost of $170 or
so, based on the 6 year treasury rates. Using savings account rates it's more
like $120. In the first three years it also buys you free rental during any
warranty work, without counting against the refund.

That's a typical claim, though they say they've improved
compression speed considerably. Did you find out anything else
about the book? I'd be interested in looking at it if you could give me
any pointers.
Reportedly, early fractal compression times of 24-100 hours used
that marvelous piece of hardware called "grad students" to do the
work. Supposedly it's been automated since about 1988, but I'm still
waiting to be impressed.

I agree with this 100%. After all, when you grab under his chin and
are careful to keep your hands away from his twisting head, what is
he going to do -- tailwag you to death? I even had one occasion where
I was unexpectedly jumped by a 130 lb. German Shepherd and grabbed
his upper jaw in one hand and his lower jaw in the other. Now I'm
holding his mouth open (no way is he strong enough to clamp down)
and he can do nothing.
HOWEVER, all this macho shit aside, the fact is that when you are
riding a bike and a dog is arrowing to intercept, it may be unwise
for you to stop and try to deal with the dog, for the simple fact
that it might be through your leathers and working on your jeans
before you can dismount and deal with it properly.
By all means, if you do kick the dog or otherwise get its attention,
STOP and STAY there. If you kick the dog and ride away, that is a
victory for the dog -- it drove you out of its territory. It is not
even a qualified victory, it is a victory. If you kick it and STOP,
and sit there, 99% of dogs will say, "Oh, shit! This guy's serious!"
and back off. Now you have established your dominance over the dog,
and it probably will not bother you again.
Llamas, however, are a different story. If you stop near a llama,
it will just hop on and insist on a ride. And that's if you're
lucky; if it doesn't like you it'll barf you off the bike and
steal it!

Via K_P, of course. Nothing was said about where K_P comes from. It's
the session key, though, and it's chosen however you usually choose
session keys --- exponential key exchange, shared secret, RSA, etc.
But however you choose it, the chip will apparently emit the escrow

Hi there
I'm suffering from Sarcoidosis at present. Although it's shown as a
chronic & rare tissue disorder, it is thankfully NOT life threatening.
The very worsed thing that can happen to a non-treated sufferer is
glaucoma. My specialists are bombarding me with Prednisolone E.C. (a
cortico-steriod) and after four months at 20mg a day, it's totally done
away with my enlarged lymph glands, so somethings happening for the
good!

"Space: Teaching's Newest Frontier"
Sponsored by the Planetary Studies Foundation
The Planetary Studies Foundation is sponsoring a one week class for
teachers called "Space: Teaching's Newest Frontier." The class will be
held at the Sheraton Suites in Elk Grove, Illinois from June 14 through
June 18. Participants who complete the program can earn two semester
hours of graduate credit from Aurora College. Please note that while the
class is intended for teachers, it is not restricted to teachers.
The class, which is being cosponsored by the United States Space
Foundation, will teach how to use space exploration as a teaching tool
to get students excited about learning and interested in science.
Classroom topics to be covered by the class include:
> Living in Space
> The Space Shuttle
> The Space Station
> NASA Spinoffs that Benefit Society
> Principles of Astrodynamics/Aeronautics
> The Solar System
There will also be simulated Zero-G training in an underwater space
station simulation, model rocket launches, observing sessions at the
Harper College Observatory, and field trips to the Adler Planetarium and
the Museum of Science and Industry.
Featured speakers include Jerry Brown of the Colorado based United
States Space Foundation and Debbie Brown of the NASA Lewis Research
Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Additional instructors will be provided by
the Planetary Studies Foundation.

Three, actually. I believe I discussed countersteering a horse
before.
Basically, there are two ways to steer a horse, plow-rein and
neck-rein. Plow-reining steers him by keeping the reins separate, and
you pull in the direction you wish to go. Neck-reining steers a horse
by holding the reins together in one hand, and pulling against the
horse's neck in the direction you wish to go. When training a
plow-steering horse to neck-rein, one technique is to cross the reins
under his necks. Thus, when neck-reining to the left, the right rein
pulls against the right side of the neck, but the left side of the bit
(which the horse is used to from his plow-reining days).
Are you sorry you asked yet?

The stragegy of the government is interesting. The real fear comes from
them doing more than this.
This is a voluntary program, and thus harder for us to object to on
the surface.
Their strategy is a business one rather than legal one. They are
pushing to get a standard in place, a secret standard, and if they
get it as a standard then they will drive competitors out of the market.
It will be legal to sell better, untapable encryption that doesn't have
registered keys, but it will be difficult, and thus not a plan for
most phone companies.
You see, with clipper chip phones you'll be able to talk to any
cellular company, or other phones or ports because they will follow
the standard. AT&T has already announced a clipper chip encryption
product. The government has marketed hard to get major vendors to
use these chips. If they get enough market share, they will rule.
And thus there will be very little market for systems that can't be
tapped by the police. The public isn't that concerned about it now,
after all. They freely do calls that anybody with an old TV can listen
to today! They won't pay big extra bucks for proprietary phones that secure
them only from the police.
Well, some people will buy these phones, but they will only work with
other proprietary phones, so the market will be small and the phones
expensive. Unless they are made in numbers large enough to sell them
cheap, only the Mob will buy them.
And this means that the FBI will want to track the customer lists of
better encryption phones, because "the only reason a person would want
one is to evade the police."
Interesting.

Well, let me put it this way, based on my own experience. A
general practitioner with no training in infectious diseases,
by establishing links to the "Lyme community", treating patients
who come to him wondering about lyme or having decided they
have lyme as if they did, saying that diseases such as MS
are probably spirochetal, if not Lyme, giving talks at meetings
of users groups, validating the feelings of even delusional
patients, etc. This GP can go from being a run-of-the-mill
$100K/yr GP to someone with lots of patients in the hospital
and getting expensive infusions that need monitoring in his
office, and making lots of bread. Also getting the adulation
of many who believe his is their only hope (if not of cure,
then of control) and seeing his name in publications put out
by support groups, etc. This is a definite temptation.

Just to address this one point, what about the two Katyusha rocket
attacks made within Lebanon, for which Fatah claimed responsibility.
I didn't realize that one can use Katyushas while onr is disarmed.
Also, Page 8 of today's New York Times, Faisal Saleh, a high ranking
Fatah official, and his 9 month old son were gunned down in Beirut
by members of Abu Nidal. There have been 46 assasination attempts
in 1993 alone in the fued between these two factions, resulting in
11 deaths.

A brain abscess is an infection deep in the brain substance. It is

it needs surgical drainage.

Probably within 50 years, a new type of eugenics will be possible.
Maybe even sooner. We are now mapping the human genome. We will
then start to work on manipulation of that genome. Using genetic
engineering, we will be able to insert whatever genes we want.
No breeding, no "hybrids", etc. The ethical question is, should
we do this? Should we make a race of disease-free, long-lived,
Arnold Schwartzenegger-muscled, supermen? Even if we can.

You obviously don't understand how TV scheduling works. ESPN had
prior contracts to baseball to show Monday night games and had
contracted all the other bs shows well in advance. The NHL TV deal
was very late in the scheduling process (you normally have to do this
one-plus year out. The NHL package was finished two weeks before the
season started). ESPN has shown tremendous commitment to the NHL by
squeezing in extra telecasts when it could (like the last Minnesota
game) and putting Stanley Cup games as backup to their baseball
telecasts (which by favorable circumstances they could pull off last
night).
But the bottom line is that ESPN cannot break contracts at will. They
must honor the previous deals they made. $$$$ _does_ have something
to do with it, especially if you risk a $$$$$$$$ lawsuit for breach of
contract with baseball.
So relax. I'm happy. (I don't get SportsChannel anyway).

Fortunately, wire-wrapping is a better wiring technique than
most at high frequencies; Cray computers (up to the X-MP, at least)
all had wirewrapped backplanes. Wirewrap gets into trouble at
much higher frequencies than any TTL can handle. The 'increase'
of wiring capacitance is not really relevant (you have to use
transmission line techniques, and the capacitance is no problem).

Hand-powered is a terrible choice (IMHO) unless you are
a field maintenance person who will do maybe a dozen connections
at a time. Your hands will cramp. Battery-powered wire-wrap guns
are available in the $150 range, and so are the little
twiddle-stick manual types ($15). For a modest project, of
a couple hundred connections, I'd prefer to borrow a professional
AC unit... or a pneumatic one.

as a point of info, some of the early nuclear power plants in this

then had a second stage -fossil fuel- step to get the water (actually
steam) VERY HOT.
I remember seeing this at Con Edison's Indian Point #1 power plant,

I recall reading in the recently revised edition of the "Yeast Connection"
that there is indeed work by researchers to do this. Of course, they are
working on the theory that candida overbloom with penetration into mucus
membrane tissue with associated "mild" inflammatory response can and does
occur in a large number of people. If you reject this "yeast hypothesis",
then I'd guess you'd view this research as one more wasteful and quixotic
endeavor. Stay tuned.

There's another point to be made. Those who have been inside burning
houses know that if they want to stay alive, it's better to run out
from the building. We had one case where an FBI agent *had to
drag out a women* from the burning house, she run back in when
she saw the forces arriving. It is a good indication of the fanatical
mind that the followers had -- including having they children burned
instead of saving these innocent victims of the instance.

This suggestion isn't as far-fetched as it sounds. Years ago in another
time and place, I used to do oil changes in boats powered by automotive
engines. In many cases, there was no way to get any sort of a tray under
the oil pan because it was boxed in by the bottom of the hull and various
floation chambers on each side. And if you *did* get something there, you'd
spill all the oil out of it for sure trying to get it back out again.
So we used a small pump powered by an electric drill to suck the oil out
the dipstick hole. There was a long/thin hose on the inlet side designed
to fit down the dipstick tube, and another, thicker/shorter hose on the
outlet side that you put into any convenient container. I'm sure these
gadgets are still available from marine hardware suppliers if you want one.

If you agree that good works have a role somewhere, you will
generally find yourself in one of two camps:
(1) Faith + Works --> Salvation
or (2) Faith --> Salvation + Works
Either (1) works are required for salvation, or (2) faith will
inevitably result in good works.
I am also of the opinion that salvation is by faith alone, based on
Ephesians 2 and Romans 3:21-31. I also conclude that James 2, when
read in context, is teaching bullet (2) above. When James speaks of
justification, I would claim that he is not speaking of God declaring
the believing sinner innocent in His sight (Paul's use of the word).
Instead he is speaking of the sinner's profession of faith being
"justified" or "proven" by the display of good works. Also according
to James 2, the abscence of such works is evidence for a "dead" or
"useless" faith which fails to save.
James 2 is not a problem for the doctrine of salvation by faith if it
is teaching (2). Works would have their place, not as merit toward
salvation, but as evidence of true faith.

Subject: Weirdness of Early Christians
Reply-To: halsall@murray.fordham.edu
Organization: J. Random Misconfigured Site
Lines: 76
I am a good Catholic boy. A convert no less, attracted by the
rational tradition [Aquinas et al] and the emotional authenticity
[in comp. with the faddishness of Anglicanism] to Roman Catholicism. I
never had much time for the pope - or any other heirarchs - but I did, and
do, believe in the sacremental system. I always felt quite happy to
look down my nose at those such as John Emery [a few posts back] who
had to engage in circuitous textual arguments to prove their faith, entirely
oblivious to the fact that a dozen other faiths can do the same [with
miracles too], and that since their arguments depend on the belief in the
Bible as God's sole revelation, it was not very good logic to argue
that the Bible proved God. No, I was happy to accept the CHURCH as God's
revelation. It was the Church after all that existed before the Bible, the
Church that choose [under grace of course] the canon of scripture. Protestant
ludicrosity, I thought, was shown by Protestants breathtaking acceptance
of Luther's right to reject a dozen or so books he disliked.
But recently I read Peter Brown's _Body and Society_. It is very
well researched, and well written. But is raises some very upsetting
questions. The early Christians were weird - even more so than today's
carzy fundies. They had odd views on sex, odder views on the body,
totally ludicrous views about demons, and distinctly uncharitable
views about other human beings.
now the question is this: were the first Christians just as
weird, but we've got used to them, or did the pristine "Fall of the
Church" happen within one generation. It certainly did'nt have to
wait until the Triumph of the Church under Constantine. If so,
wha does this say about God's promise to always support the Church.
It's no use throwing the usual Protestant pieties about the Church
not being an organization at me. It's a community or it is nothing,
and it was the early communities that were weird. The institional
church was a model of sanity by comparison.
I would be interested in serious Catholic and Orthodox responses to
this entirely serious issue. I'm not sure it is an issue for Protestants
with their "soul alone with Jesus" approach, but for we who see the
"ecclesia" as a "koinoia" over time and space, the weird early
Christians are a problem.
[This is an exaggeration of the Protestant view. Many Protestants
have a strong appreciation for the role of the Church. "The soul
alone with God" is certainly important for Protestants, but it's by no
means the whole story.
I have read the sort of history you talk about. As you point out,
Protestants don't have quite the same problem you do, because we
believe that the church had a Fall at some point. However Protestant
mythology typically places the Fall around the time of Constantine (or
more likely, regard it as happening in a sort of cumulative fashion,
starting from Constantine but getting worse as the Pope accumulated
power during the medieval period.) The consequences of having it
earlier are somewhat worrisome even to us. Most Protestants accept
the theological results of the early ecumenical councils, including
such items as the Trinity and Incarnation. Indeed in the works of
Reformers such as Luther and Calvin, you'll find Church Fathers such
as Augustine quoted all the time. I think you'll find many
Protestants resistant to the idea that the Early Church as a whole was
"wierd". (There is an additional problem for Protestants that I don't
much want to talk about in this context, since it's been looked at
recently -- that's the question of whether one can really think of
Augustine and other Fathers as being proto-Protestants. Their views
on Mary, the authority of the Pope, etc, are not entirely congenial to
Protestant thought.)
One thing that somewhat worries me is a question of methodology.
There are certainly plenty of wierd people in the early church. What
concerns me is that they may be overrepresented in what we see. We
see every Christian who courted martyrdom. But I think there's good
reason to believe that most ordinary Christians were more prudent than
that. We see the heroic virgins. But I think there's good reason to
think that many Christians were happily married. I can't help
suspecting that the early church had the same range of wierdos and
sane people that we do now. I think there's also a certain level of
"revisionism" active in history at the moment. I don't mean that
they're manufacturing things out of whole cloth. But don't you think
there might be a tendency to emphasize the novel?

I flipped on my local Cable Access Channel (a channel where any
community member can broadcast whatever they want for about $50
per half hour) and saw a "documentary" (I use this term loosely)
on the conflict in the West Bank.
It was apparently made with a hand held camcorder (the quality was
terrible, and the camera was really jumpy). The documentary (sic)
told the tales of all of the children who died in the "war" against
the Jews as martyrs.
It was a regular sob story. One "victimized youth" was recounting
on how all he "really" wants to do is to get an education and that
the big bad Jews won't let him go to high school. He admittedly
spent 4 years in prison (age 13 to 17) for murdering a Jewish woman
but claims that it was "for the cause."
I have seen this kind of garbage before. I have a lot of sympathy for
the Palestinian cause (as do many Jews), but I think that even many
Arabs would be ashamed to call this a documentary!
The most suprising part is that the only credits shown at the end
was an address for the makers of the film named JEWISH COMM. ON
THE MIDDLE EAST.
Anybody heard of them? They make Peace Now look like right-wingers.

Although I certainly agree with the basic sentiment that snideness is
unloving and ineffective, I'm a little disturbed by the formulation that
ill temper is not a Christian trait. It seems like a false argument to
say that anyone who displays trait X must not be a Christian. Could
well be a sinning Christian, but a Christian nonetheless.
Anger is human, and Christians are
human: Christians get angry and defensive and react badly just like
everyone else. It's not perfect righteousness but the effort of seeking
righteousness that marks a dedicated Christian. And one of the greatest
gifts of faith to me is that of seeking and accepting forgiveness for
my failures. Expecting flawless behavior from self or others isn't
Christianity: it's perfectionism.

>I think most of us would rather be held up with a knife than with a gun,
>but HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO MANAGE THAT? You still haven't offered
I've been watching this knife verses gun bit for a while now, (even
contributed a few comments) but this stuff "I'd rather face a knife than
a gun" has GOT to come from ignorance! I used to think pretty much the
same thing, then I got 'educated.'
People do not as a rule understand how deadly knives can be, or how
quickly you can be killed with one. Most people don't understand that
it takes less than an inch of penetration in some areas to cause quick
(within a minute or so) death.
The death rates from handguns and knives are within a few percentage
points of each other. Many people not realizing how deadly knives are
'try their luck' and thus more get injured by knives. A gun is deadly
only in a single direction and it's only advantage is that it is a
remote control weapon. A contact weapon such as a knife controls a
spherical area 7 to 10 feet in diameter.
Most people have never seen knife wounds, aside from slicing a finger by
accident. From 21 feet or so, a knife is very nearly an even match for
a holstered gun in experienced hands, even if the knife wielder has only
moderate skill. From inside 10 feet or so, a knife is a match for a
DRAWN gun. A knife is utterly silent, it never jams and never runs out
of ammunition. It is limited only by the speed, dexterity skill and
ability of it's wielder. Criminals in general are young, fast and
strong. It's interesting to note that the patterned slashing attacks
used by many martial artists remarkably resemble the wild uncontrolled
slashing attacks of novices. I've talked to several well trained
martial artists. They have unanimously agreed that if they ever go up
against a knife they simply plan on being cut, hopefully not as bad as
the attacker.
Practicing with firearms requires facilities and equipment. Practicing
with knives requires only a small area and something to simulate a
knife, say a popsicle stick or tooth brush. Criminals practice their
knife attacks in prison.
If you have not trained against knives with a firearm and do not realize
these facts the first inkling you will have that something is wrong is
the knife ripping through your throat, or in the case of an experienced
attacker, parts of your body falling off onto the ground. A 60 year old
man with arthritis can close that 7 yard distance and gut you in about
one and a half seconds. Dennis Tueller with a broken leg in a walking
cast managed it in two. I've seen people close that distance and strike
in 1 second. I'm old, over weight and slow. I can do it in 1.3
seconds. I've seen morgue footage of people killed with edged weapons
that you would not believe. (How about a single stab wound to the chest
with a TABLE FORK! In this case the attacker used the HANDLE, not the
pointed end.)
Add to this the 'fact' that hand gun 'stopping' power is largely a myth.
Except in the case of a central nervous system shot, or a round that
destroys the skeletal structure, it takes anywhere from 3 to twelve
seconds for a bullet wound to 'take effect.'
This is true of even heart shots. There is the case of the police woman
in L.A., the first recorded survivor of a .357 shot to the heart. That
lady not only killed her attacker, but chased him down to do it! All
four of her shots, fired after SHE had been shot, struck the perp. Atta
girl! The bullet entered her on a downward angle, went through the apex
of her heart, down through the diaphragm, clipped her liver and
destroyed her spleen. It then exited her back leaving a tennis ball
sized hole. She died about six times on the operating table, but was
out of the hospital in 15 days and was back on full duty in eight
months! She was off duty at the time and not wearing her vest. She was
on her way home so happened to have her gun. No, she doesn't think
civilians should have the same rights. Sigh.
The moral of the story is that even if you DO manage to shoot a knife
attacker, you'd better be planning on doing some dodging. A good
alternative is to shoot for and break the pelvis. People can often walk
(a little) on broken legs but a broken pelvis will nearly always anchor
them. Many firearms schools recommend pelvis shots against contact
weapons. The target is as large as the traditional 'center of mass' and
is more reliable to STOP somebody with a contact weapon, assuming a
caliber powerful enough to 'do the job.' Hot .38's on up will usually
do this.
Remember folks, the idea isn't to 'take em with you' but for you to live
and them to fail, whatever the consequences for them. This the reason
'killing them' isn't our goal, or in many cases even good enough to keep
us alive.
I don't want to face a violent attack of any sort. Knowing what I now
know, I can't rightly say I'd rather face a knife than an gun. It would
have to depend on the attacker, and if I could pick and choose, I
WOULDN'T BE THERE. This is really the bottom line. Criminals do not
fear the law. Criminals do not fear the weapon. They fear the citizen
behind the weapon that has shown the resolution and determination to do
whatever it takes.

What files do I need to download for GhostScript 2.5.2? I have never used
GhostScript before, so I don't have any files for it. What I *do* have is
gs252win.zip, which I downloaded from Cica. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to
work on it's own, but needs some more files that I don't have. I want to run
GhostScript both in Windows 3.1 and in MS-DOS on a 386 PC (I understand there's
versions for both environments). What are all the files I need to download and
where can I get them? Any info would be appeciated.

I plan to go. It's about 30 minutes away from my home.
I can report on some of it (from my perspective ...)
Anyone else on sci.space going to be there? If so, send me
netmail. Maybe we can plan to cross paths briefly...
I'll maintain a list of who's going.

These Armenian volunteers committed all kinds of excesses, more

the eastern vilayets of Turkey."

Probably we would have much the same problems with only a slight shift in
emphasis. Weekends might not be so inviolate (more common to work 7 days
a week in a business), and instead of American Atheists, we would have
similar, religious organizations. A persons religious belief seems more
as a crutch and justification for actions than a guide to determine actions.
Of course, people would have to come up with more fascinating
rationalizations for their actions, but that could be fun to watch...
It seems to me, that for most people, religion in America doesn't matter
that much. You have extreemists on both ends, but a large majority don't
make too much of an issue about it as long as you don't. Now, admittedly,
I have never had to suffer the "Bible Belt", but I am just north of it
and see the fringes, and the reasonable people in most things tend to be
reasonable in religion as well.

I don't bother according a higher value to my thinking, or just about
anybodys thinking. I don't want to fall in that trap. Because if you
do start that, then you are then to decide which is better, says whom,
why, is there a best, and also what to do about those who have inferior
modes of thinking. IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.)

Thus, a deciBell (deci-, l., tenth of + Bell) is a fractional part of the
original Bell. For example, SouthWestern Bell is a deciBell.
And the measure of current, Amp, is actually named after both the AMP company
and the Amphenol company. Both companies revolutionized electronics by
simulatenously realizing that the performance of connectors and sockets
were affected by the amount of current running through the wires.
The Ohmite company was the first to characterize resistances by numbers, thus
our use of the Ohms...
Alexander Graham Bell, actually, is where Bell came from...

Hi, I need some advice from the netland in selecting a sound card.
I am about to buy a sound card for my kid. I don't know which one to buy.
Which one to select from the following list:
- Sound Blaster 16
- Miscrosoft- sound card
- Audio Spectrum
- Sound Blaster pro
- Sound Blaster
My allocated budget is around $250.
Could some of you know about sound cards help me to select the most appropriate
one for my kid ?
I have 486-33 Mz OPTI MB.
I also have NEC CDROM that I would like to connect to the sound card.
Thank you.
