        Sandy and I are thinking about getting a 9mm Die set for our
reloader press.  How many users here have 9mm guns and would consider buying
their reloads from us?  We would be using 125 grain round nose cast lead,
and a custom powder charge yet to be worked out, with Winchester primers.
        The price (yet to be worked out) will be cheaper than store bought
ammo for sure...  The idea will be you bring us your old brass, and exchange
it for the reloads...  This will save you even more money.  However, if you
don't have brass to exchange, we will sell it to you for a few cents more
per bullet, so SAVE the BRASS!  There will be no aluminum casings accepted.
Be sure the brass you use for an exchange is the reloadable type (ie.- some
foreign brass can not be reloaded).
       The brass we will be using will be tumbled clean, courtesy of Sandy's
vibrator (joke, joke). These bullets will be store quality and will, of
course, contain all the disclaimers that go along with the selling of
bullets.

        We need a commitment of 700 rounds before we will buy the dies.

Input from potential customers at this time is needed!

I will also offer a hand gun cleaning & lube service at this time for those
of you who do not want to disassemble your fire arm for detailing.  I will
do it for you..... $17.50

  In message 5027 you said that designers would have to be paid to design
currency without the motto. Currency is routinely changed and the designs
would cost the same with or without the motto. Having future currency (not a
special issue ahead of schedule) made without the motto would not cost
anything additional.
  What would you tell me? I refuse to attempt to simulate your thought
processes in order to answer that question.

If you believe those previous tests can *PROVE* love exists, then why
not *PROVE* the love Christians have for God.
?
Of course, any self-important brain-dead dolt could say that love for
something that doesn't exist can be achieved.....but those same brain-
dead dolts forget what love really is and try to place yardsticks and
measurements on an immeasurable force that cannot by its own nature
be a result of lies, untruths or deception.
 
No, the true deception is the schooling system that is geared so tightly
to pro-evolutionary crap that a Christian has no chance of receiving
a diploma.....and is currently churning out brain-washed addicts of
psuedo-science incapable of change or genuine search for truth.
 
You`re right, you should go play with your peers at Kindergarten,
perhaps you`ll learn that Goo-goo-ga-ga isn't so bad after all.

You completely misunderstood what I was saying in my post. Most likely the
ONLY time that the motto will even be considered for removal is if/when they
ever redesign the currency. If/when they do, they are going to need artists
to design the new artwork for the plates.

You're not exactly earning brownie points in the area of "love" yourself.
 
Trying to prove the existance of love by insulting the person you are
talking to will do nothing but further that person's standpoint. Calling
someone an "utterly useless parasite" isn't going to make the person exactly
bubble over with love.

You're quite perceptive.  Of course one can love things that don't exist. 
This is demonstrated by the fact that people still feel love for dead
relatives.  (If you don't like that example since you no doubt feel that
death is not the end of existence, substitute something such as a pet, or,
if you think pets have souls, a work of art.)
   I don't believe your claim that Christians have no chance of receiving
diplomas.  I suspect that most Christians in the United States obtain them. 
There may, however, be something to your claim that the majority of high
school and college graduates are incapable of genuine search for truth. 
Polls on belief in Adam and Eve, dinosaurs living with humans, and the sun
revolving around the earth seem to reflect it.
   By the way, if I may indulge in a bit of armchair psychoanalysis, your
continual attempts to insult me and my educational goals seem to indicate
that you feel threatened or insecure in your own educational status.  You
shouldn't feel that way--one can become expert in many fields without formal
education, but in others it is a practical necessity.
(And no, I don't feel insulted in the least.  But perhaps you should be
reminded that this isn't the COSmos SIG.)

        If you are on this SIG... it is because you have gone that extra
mile in helping keep Apollo BBS on line.  As most of you know, since I
closed the store last year, it has been one heck of a struggle.  I still do
computer work, but it has been very slow.  Without a store front, I do not
get the volume.  The only thing that has saved me is there is no Land Lard.
        I am currently working on my FIRST machine shop job I have had in 7
years.  With this job I hope to get my foot back in the door plus by doing
computer sales and work, fill in the spaces between machinest jobs.
        The fact is, without people like you... I would have had to take
down Apollo BBS for lack of funds.
        I would really like to do something for you people....  A SIG for
you just does not seem enough... but maybe you will enjoy it... you are the

I am starting a brand new religion, as of today, January 4th, 1989.

The sole requirement for inclusion as an adherant of my new cult is a
colplete disbelief in Rod.  Believers will henceforth be known as
Anti-Rod-ites.  All other dogmas, including Shinto, Mithraism, or what-ever
are optional.

Thus:                   THERE IS NO ROD!

Date: 01/02/89  Time: 16:27:25

  There are a number of objections that one can raise to the
strong anthropic principle as an explanation of the observed
state of the universe.  First, in what sense can all these
different universes be said to exist?  If they are really 
separate from each other, what happens in another universe 
can have no observable consequences in our own universe.  We
should therefore use the principle of economy and cut them 
out of the theory.  If, on the other hand, they are just
different regions of a single universe, the laws of science
would have to be the same in each region, because otherwise
one could not move continuously from one region to another.
In this case the only difference between the regions would be
their initial configurations and so the strong anthropic
principle would reduce to the weak one.
  A second objection to the strong anthropic principle is
that it runs against the tide of the whole history of 
science.  We have developed from the geocentric cosmologies
of Ptolemy and his forebears, through the heliocentric 
cosmology of Copernicus and Galileo, to the modern picture in
which the earth is a medium-sized planet orbiting around an
average star in the outer suburbs of an ordinary spiral 
galaxy, which is itself only one of about a million million
galaxies in the observable universe.  Yet the strong 
anthropic principle would claim that this whole vast 
construction exists simply for our sake.  This is very hard 
to believe.  Our Solar System is certainly a prerequisite for
our existence, and one might extend this to the whole of our
galaxy to allow for an earlier generation of stars that
created the heavier elements.  But their does not seem to be
any need for all those other galaxies, nor for the universe
to be so uniform and similar in every direction on the large
scale.
  One would feel happier about the anthropic principle, at
least in its weak version, if one could show that quite a
number of initial configurations for the universe would have
evolved to produce a universe like the one we observe.  If 
this is the case, a universe that developed from some sort of
random initial conditions should contain a number of regions
that are smooth and uniform and are suitable for the 
evolution of intelligent life.  On the other hand, if the 
initial state of the universe had to be chosen extremely 
carefully to lead to something like what we see around us,
the universe would be unlikely to contain *any* region in 
which life would appear.  In the hot big bang model described
above, there was not enough time in the early universe for
heat to have flowed from one region to another.  This means 
that the initial state of the universe would have to have had
exactly the same temperature everywhere in order to account
for the fact that the microwave background has the same
temperature in every direction we look.  The initial rate of
expansion also would have had to be chosen very precisely for
the rate of expansion still to be so close to the critical
rate needed to avoid recollapse.  This means that the initial
state of the universe must have been very carefully chosen
indeed if the hot big bang model was correct right back to
the beginning of time.  It would be very difficult to explain
why the universe should have begun just this way, except as
the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.

I feel that I have no right to judge others on such a subject. Some people

...
  If the universe really is in such a quantum state, there 
would be no singularities in the history of the universe in
imaginary time.  It might seem therefore that my more recent
work had completely undone the results of my earlier work on
singularities.  But, as indicated above, the real importance
of the singularity theorems was that they showed that the
gravitational field must become so strong that quantum
gravitational effects could not be ignored.  This in turn
led to the idea that the universe could be finite in 
imaginary time but without boundaries or singularities.  When
one goes back to the real time in which we live, however,
there will still appear to be singularities.  The poor
astronaut who falls into a black hole will still come to a
sticky end; only if he lived in imaginary time would he
encounter no singularities.
  This might suggest that the so-called imaginary time is
really the real time, and that what we call real time is just
a figment of our imaginations.  In real time, the universe 
has a beginning and an end at singularities that form a 
boundary to space-time and at which the laws of science break
down.  But in imaginary time, there are no singularities or
boundaries.  So maybe what we call imaginary time is really
more basic, and what we call real is just an idea that we
invent to help us describe what we think the universe is 
like.  But according to the approach I described in Chapter 
1, a scientific theory is just a mathematical model we make to
describe our observations: it exists only in our minds.  So 
it is meaningless to ask: Which is "real" or "imaginary" 
time?  It is simple a matter of which is the more useful
description.

  In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Gan Ken Woong, 33, stumbled and
fell, unconscious, while playing badminton in April.  His
dentures were jarred loose and lodged in his windpipe,
suffocating him.

  In Chelmsford, England, a pet cat that was reunited with
its 80-year-old owner in June after a 30-day absence leaped
to greet her but clawed open a vein in the woman's leg,
causing the woman to lose consciousness and die.

  Inmate Jerry Robinson, serving a life sentence in Auburn,
N.Y., for the 1962 murders of two policemen, petitioned for
release because his heart had stopped beating for nearly two
minutes, during open-heart surgery - thus, he says, ending 
his natural life.

  A Detroit Pepsi-Cola bottling company was awarded a new 
trial by an appeals court, thus overturning a $1 million jury
verdict for a man who claims that his transsexualism was
triggered by a 1978 auto collision with a Pepsi truck that
injured his head and groin.

  Jeffrey Johnson, who acted as his own lawyer after denying
that he had robbed a female Texaco clerk, cross-examining a
detective who referred to the clerk as a "witness,"  "What
are you talking about some witness, man?  There was only me
and her in the store."

  Kevin Thompson, 26, was indicted on bank robbery charges
in Newark, N.J., after authorities pieced together his
identity from his holdup note, which was written on a 
paycheck from his employer.

  Gainesville, Fla., sheriff's officers on a stakeout watched
a motorcycle for 17 consecutive days in March in hopes of
catching an elusive burglar, but during one officer's 
two-minute restroom break, the cycle was stolen again.

  In August, Cook County (Ill.) jail inmate Victor Thomas,
locked up on murder charges, escaped by getting the drop on
guards with a "gun" carved out of a soap bar.

Cliff, I have a HP Deskjet printer.  Where can I get ink cartridges at a
reasonable price?

Any truth to the rumor that you got a divorce (or something like that) out
in Calif?

  In Houston, Patrick Carl Johnson, 24, received a light jail
sentence in June for stealing a $195,000 Trailways bus after
he promised the judge he would stay away from buses.  Johnson
estimates that he has stolen at least 100 buses since 1986
because of a 13-year fixation he says he developed when his
mother dated a bus driver, who let Johnson ride with him "for
hours and hours."

  In Rutland, Vt., in June, Brian Tuliper, 24, was charged 
with several crimes, including animal cruelty, in the death
of an eight-month-old calf that he had accidentally strangled
to death when he tied her up in order to have sex with her.

  Alberto Miera, a county judge near Minneapolis who 
describes himself as bisexual, fasted for 40 days during
April and May to "prove my credibility" in denying charges
that he had made sexual advances to a male court reporter.

  A Bangladesh surgeon told an April meeting of the Asian
Association of Pediatric Surgeons how ordinary paper clips,
when bent into the proper shapes, can substitute for 
expensive surgical equipment.  "In a poor and developing
country," he said, "the paper clip has been our answer."

  According to a report in *Physician's Weekly* in March, a
19-year-old man attempting suicide with a .22-caliber gun
because of severe obsessive-compulsive behavior cured himself
when the bullet passed through the front of his brain and
destroyed the tissue responsible for his problem.  
Previously, he had not been able to hold down a job because 
of his desire to wash his hands hundreds of times a day, but
he is now leading a relatively normal life.

  To keep a construction worker's severed hand "alive" while
his body recuperated enough to withstand more surgery, 
University of Alabama at Birmingham doctors sewed it onto his
stomach for three months before reattaching it to his arm.

  According to the *Wall Street Journal*, 90 percent of all
data transmitted from U.S. space missions is unusable because
government computers are not sophisticated enough to process
it.  The floor space needed to store the never-analyzed tapes
is the size of 50 football fields.

        You got me on that one.  I have no idea as to whom has HP ink
cartridges at any price.  They do not show up in any of my catalogs.
You may ask Ed Sharp, since he is the expert on HP.  Call Computer Exchange!

He got a divorce from Christine. I believe that Tom's TV show is in the
future.  The people at KFYI still talk about him occasionally.
 
 
I've actually begun to enjoy listening to Jack Cole. Wouldn't mind being
able to hear both of them.  Oh, KFI is 640 AM, I think. One might be able to
pick it up hear (probably while driving in the evening).

Well, you could always do what I do, and shut it off just before 3 P.M.
I agree. I think the agitator general is one of the most rude and obnoxious
people who ever graced the airways. Do you by any chance remember John Sage?
He was on another talk station some years ago before they went musical. I
watched him go from one of the busiest talk show hosts to a 4 hour monologue
in about a 2 year period because of similiar attitudes and methods. I wonder
how long Jerk Cole will last.

Do we have an expert on Commodore software on Apollo? I have an excellent
(public domain) terminal program that does everything I need, except force
line feeds to my Epson printer. Every time I try to print out something I
have saved in my buffer, it all goes on one line. Kinda hard to read that
way, ya know? CAn aody help me with it? 'Twould be appreciated.

        If your Epson had been set up for the Radio Shack Printer, there is
a switch in the printer you need to change the setting on to use it
correctly with the Commodore so you will get proper line feed.
        The Radio Shack Computers (CoCo Mod I/III) would send a Line Feed +
a Carriage Return where the Commodore only sends a Carriage Return.  Some
software can compensate for this, however it is best if you set the Epson
printer to do a Line Feed at a Carriage Return.  On my Epson this is switch
two - three (the second switch that has 4 little switches on it) It needs to
be in the ON position.
        If you have a problem with this...bring it over and I will set it
for you.

Actually, I bought the printer at Computer Exchange.  I was hoping to fine a
place easier to get to with lower prices.  I think they wanted $18 for a
cartridge.

I don't know anything about Commodore, but i do know something about Epson
printers.  I've had an MX-100 for years.  It has a dip switch that will tie
carriage returns to line feeds.  Just flip the did switch to the other
position.  The manual should spell it out for you.

  The U.S. Legal Services Corporation hired three 
high-powered Washington law firms to lobby Congress this year
to *reduce* the agency's budget by 18 percent.

  Douglas Tarrant, assistant school superintendent in St.
Petersburg, Fla., committed suicide in August because he was
depressed about a charge of sexual abuse that a 15-year-old 
girl had filed against him, leaving behind a tearful,
videotaped proclamation of his innocence.  However, just 
days before the suicide, the girl had recanted her story, and
authorities were "in the process" of having the charge 
dropped but had failed to notify Tarrant.

  At an Environmental Protection Agency colloquium in
February, a scientific paper on the effect of phosgene gas on
humans was presented, using as legitimate some data from
Nazi medical experiments on prisoners during World War II.

  Hugh Hefner, on the origin of the Playboy bunny: One of
Hefner's treasures as a kid was a blanket "with bunnies all
over it," he said.  Then he got a dog, which became sick and
died and was laid out in the blanket and burned.  "When the
blanket went up in flames," said Hefner, "the bunny empire
began."

  In May a Toronto jury deliberated nine hours before
acquitting Kenneth Parks of murdering his mother-in-law by 
hitting her with a tire iron and stabbing her.  His
successful defense was that he was sleep-walking at the time
and hadn't awakened until after he had driven the 14 miles to
her house, killed her, and almost killed her husband.

  Rev. Al Sharpton, looking to confront New York Gov. Mario
Cuomo at Cuomo's hotel in Atlanta during the Democratic
Convention, to further criticize the governor's handling of 
the Tawana Brawley case, but arriving an hour-and-a-half
late and learning Cuomo had long since departed: "He should
have waited around.  He knew we were on our way."

  In Augusta, Ga., the lawyer for Adrienne Brown, wife of
singer James Brown, asked a judge to dismiss traffic charges,
against her because she had "diplomatic immunity" - stemming
from a U.S. congressman's calling Mr. Brown "our number-one
ambassador" at a dinner two years before.
