    Yesterday was the first round of the NFL playoffs, and obviously they did
    not want to schedule major college games on the same day.

            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.

    Satan didn't have an attorney assigned to him by the state because the case
    was thrown out on the grounds that the defendant did not reside in the

    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.)

      No, I completely understood message #5027. It says that it would cost
    money to implement new currency without religious mottos in the future. It
    overlooks the fact the cost would be exactly the same with or without the
    mottos.

            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

      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.

    Everything is meaningless to you if you don't agree. I did not say it was
    "OK" even if it is murder. I said that women would do it anyway regardless.
    I feel that I have no right to judge others on such a subject. Some people
    believe it is murder - some do not - no one really knows for sure.
    Personally I believe it isn't a 'baby' until it's born and can live! And
    particularly I don't think men should have any say so what so ever in what a
    woman wants to do about it. The Supreme Court agrees with me.

      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.

    The Supreme Court agreed with you in 1973; it isn't clear that the court

    Who is to determine who is "intelligent" enough to spare from death? There
    are many people who are functionally disabled and appear mentally retarded,
    but who are in reality more intelligent than your average Joe on the street.
    A functionally disabled individual who also seemed extremely slow, was given
    the means in which he could transfer his thoughts to paper (through a
    special computerized typewriter.) He wrote one of the most eloquent and
    heartbreaking poems on how it feels to be chained inside of a nearly useless
    body.

    From Coasting, December 22, 1988:

      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.

      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.

            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.

      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

      In May a Toronto jury deliberated nine hours before
    acquitting Kenneth Parks of murdering his mother-in-law by
