We did Ok here; though some other areas of government did kind of slip in their duty. The FDA was one. We do have to take into consideration the alternatives as well as what was happening in other countries. A lot of people got crushed on the other side. I lost relatives in Siberia. But the competition kept us pushing technology, got us to DO something with transistors, pushed transistors into integrated circuits (I saw one of the first ones at an IEEE show in the 60's), and on to microprocessors. Many, many other things too, came out of that competition, including our space program. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

I just thought to myself: What > an industrial wasteland (that) Tulsa is. You can say that about many cities, San Jose, Mountainview, Groton, New Haven... (Actually, New Haven is more a wasteland for the decay of the police force and the lack of concern of the people who moved in.) East Hartford... many many places across America where I have walked, advised others, and helped build the Tomorrow that has become today. But that does not stop the people working and living there. Some move on, others keep at it. > This old fascist and communist corporate > industrial wasteland slum city empire, built > on a financial, economic, and ecological old > petroleum oil sinkhole. Well, some say it's the best blend of urban and rural living, with quite homes blocks away from corporate headquarters buildings. That's what they said of San Jose, too. It's just a matter of how you look at things, Clyde. All cities have horrendously smelly sewers if you want some thing to gripe about. But there are so many great things too! Open your eyes and your mind. Once upon a time, the place had a few shabby homes, more like bare wood hovels. People had to haul water from wells, heat it over the furnace before taking a bath, etc. Today, most of us can step into the bathroom, drop our clothes, and take a nice hot shower any time of day or night with almost no preparation other than having some clean clothes to change into. That was unheard of in the early 1800's in most places! > It is no wonder to me now, why I suffer from > environmental illness, with very little hope > left for the future. Clyde, you have to make hope, and make it work. That's the job of every one of us -- create hope and then pitch in and help create that which you hope for. > So much endless pollution surrounding me. Do you see the beauty of the sunset? Of the sunrise that follows? Do you see the wild flowers growing out of the cracks in the pavement and sidewalks? That is hope. That is how hope grows. And some take those flowers, replant them elsewhere. Or even if not, the flowers make seeds which blow in the wind, some finding moist places to grow, and pass on the gift of life to the next generation. With that, the future lives on. That's what we mad scientists are all about -- the creation of things which are often under-appreciated in the present context. And if we can not quite bring our thoughts to fruition, the seeds of our ideas and inventions go on, echoing in the minds of others till they find root and grow to create tomorrow. The persistence of life and of ideas... That's the stuff to photograph. The sprout in the sidewalk, the flower in full bloom, the sweating brow building our Tomorrows. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

You have to believe it can, to plot and plan, and then work to make it happen. I have created several businesses in my day, mostly the one-man kind. I am a consultant, the third consultant in our family line to be a consultant. I succeeded, at least for a while, at selling soap while in college. I failed at selling some software products, mostly because I got sick. That would have been the World Wide Web some six to eight years earlier. I did a lot of consulting in Silicon Valley. I sold information services in the late 90's and early 00's over the internet, and watched it all fall apart after 9/11 and some ruski mafia types bought a bunch of our products using stolen credit cards. (My main dealer didn't check what he was taking, and after he got taken, decided not to sell our products anymore because it was too hard for him to check whom he was selling to... But the 9/11 economic shock wiped out too many of our other clients.) And I am investigating another business opportunity now, a consulting type of opportunity. You just have to start doing something, start looking at what people need, and how to satisfy those needs. Sometimes, it's a consultive type of deal, sometimes it's making or buying and reselling some gadget they need. But most of all, it is believing that what you do can make a positive effect upon society. People run away from angry people. That's your problem, the anger. But it's a chemical problem, not an essential part of your soul, if you don't want it to be. Get out that camera, or a piece of paper and a pencil. Photograph or draw things that interest you. Make it a habit. You will begin to see there are many, many things which really interest you, things that draw you to find more about them. > NOT HAVE ANY PATIENCE FOR THE ENDLESS NEVERENDING BULLSHIT INFINITE > COMPLICATED AND EXPENSIVE TAX LAWS, BYLAWS, ENDLESS RULES AND > REGULATIONS, CITY ORDINANCES: COMMUNISTIC, AND FASCISTIC; ZONING > PERMITS, HIGHER THAN NONSENSICAL HELL TAX CODE LAWS, OPPRESSIVE FENCE LINES, WHERE NEIGHBORS SCREW EVERYTHING UP, OPPRESSIVE ------- ------ ELECTRICAL CODES, ------- ------ BUILDING CRAP CODES, OVERKILL EXPENSIVE > GASOLINE PRICES, ------- ------ INFERNAL FUCKUPTION ENGINES, ENDLESS > POLLUTION THAT IS ENFORCED UPON ALL OF THE PEOPLE, IS THAT IT??? > HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT??? Yes, but... So What! Did you think I got a business permit for my consulting work in the beginning? That was the beauty of it. No sales tax on labor or advice. Income tax, sure. But we do need to keep things orderly and so need to pay for water, sewer, police... (I could really have used some police up here a few nights ago when I ran some tough looking motorcycle hombres in full helmets and heavy leather jackets off the property in the dead of night. I thought they were going to steal everything they could carry, so I hid in a good place till they reached me, then popped out and yelled at them to get off my property. When they stopped and hesitated, I moved forward, not charging, but clearly not giving ground, and yelling at them to get off the property NOW! They were probably as scared of me as I was of them; but I had the element of surprise, and used it well. Or well enough that I survived. I figured if they found me shivering in the bushes, they would have killed me. I didn't give them enough time to wonder what to do; just the overwhelming impression that elsewhere might be better. Didn't sleep much that night... but I rather suspect they didn't either.) If you're not making a lot of money, such as when you are getting started, you don't need permits. And when you are making money, they are cheap!!! We incorporated one of my companies, but when I got sick, let that go. Did a lot of other stupid things too! But so what! Tomorrow is another day! New ideas, new people, new things to do. That's the beauty of America! No one brands you as a failure, but yourself. I know it may all sound a little hard to do today when you are sick; but if you budge the inch, the inches add up. And if you are budging the inch, people see you are doing something and some may come and help. I remember when I was sick and had fallen over in my room, back in the mid 80's. My body was growing cold, was giving up. I could not afford the energy to see. All I could do was to hiccup. I knew where the electric heater was. I hiccuped. It felt like I moved. So I kept on hiccuping and budging the inch toward the heater. My mother and father had come into the room. My father said that it looked like that was it, that my end had come at last. I kept hiccuping and budging the inch toward the heater. My mother said it looked like I was moving toward something. The heater! Of course! They moved the heater toward me, and I lived. Had I given up, I'd not be writing to you today. So take your ideas and budge the inch. Try! Because if you don't try, nothing will happen. > And please Clyde, keep writing, it is good for you to let it all hang out Yes it is. Writing lets you see what you mean. And change it. > I find Johns idea of taking a run around the block another good idea, > as long as you live in a safe neighborhood, and do it in the day time. Thanks.

It gives one a sense of self to move through the world under one's own muscles, be it on foot or on bike. Hope you got a helmet with it. If not, get one, will you?

I am a gypsy at heart. As a consultant, I've worked in a number of cities across the USA. I really miss being able to go anywhere. The slogan under the consultant's flag is "Per Deim", what we are paid for living expenses above and beyond the hourly rate. Hotels, motels, and the open road. (Well, I travel that road by phone first, so I know I have a job waiting for me when I get there.) To raise the Jolly Roger, and sail off to the next port... maybe it will be different... In some ways, it always is. In others, it differs very little. The change is within. Whenever you move, the cage of impressions others have built for you is left behind; you get to define yourself again. But old habits... old ways of viewing things... so the new is an echo of the old. Where do you want to go? What do you do for a living? Start looking through the newspapers of where you want to go. Look at not just the local news, but also the classifieds. Call them up. Ask them what they like about their city, and the company they work for. Ten calls a day. (When I'm job hunting, I do 100 calls a day, 30 - 35 of which reach the proper person. But I'm not calling ads, I'm calling from my database of contacts.) Try to get them to do most of the talking. You don't have to get them to hire you, you just need to get them to talk about their city and their company. Then you'll have a better idea of what it is like there and if you REALLY want to go there. Talking to people like that is a useful skill to develop. It takes a while, so don't call your best prospects first! Get a flat rate phone if you can. But before you go... Nutrition! Got to have that ready, as if you get really hungry, the brain starts to fail badly. I got stuck in Dayton, Ohio once, missed lunch, was a little short on B vitamins, and Whammo! Agoraphobia! Non-sensical fear of open places. I understood what was happening; it's just that it was happening to me! I made sure I ate well that night, bought some B vitamins, and as I drifted off to sleep, imagined myself in successively larger farm fields. Let me tell you, I was sweating and shaking as I imagined that! Irrational fear of having giant birds swoop down on me, etc. etc. etc. I was not really in good form the next morning, but I had more or less conquered that fear; even though I really preferred to be under the awnings, between tall buildings, etc. for months after that. And Ohio being flat, I hated Ohio! If you travel, you've got to make sure you eat right! -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

What a hoot, when things got hairy at work I would think of Johns post and smile, made my day. I hope you have a sense of humor , Clyde and enjoyed it as much as I did. There is something here Clyde that I picked up, did you ? I don't think John told us the whole story of that night. Do you think, perhaps, there is a possibility that John could have failed to mention that when he confronted the bikers, he turned and yelled into the empty woods " Hold your fire boy, these guys are leaving, no problem here ?" Also John did not mention if he had to throw away his pants and take a shower as soon as possible. I am going to ask you a personal question Clyde, I hope you don't mind, what do you do for work, are you still in school or are you disabled. You Clyde live in a city, do you think you would do better living as John does, out in the brush ? There's a lot of us loners out there, I am one of them. I love people, every day people, black ,white, yellow, or even green if I were fortunate enough to meet some. Yet, when I come home at night and on my time off from earning my living, I crave aloneness, I must have time to read, research, and function for myself. This I believe is because I am an only child, I did not learn to interact with my peers until I was well into my adulthood. How about you Clyde, do you have brothers and sisters? >The city skyline is certainly impressive, but life living here does not mirror the impressive city skyline of downtown.< I like your words, WOW, they paint for me a picture of a place I have never known. There is so much I can read into your observations of your time and place. There is a part of all of us humans that crave love and affection. Once we find it we take it for granted. There is a part of us that need to be left alone, we all need the stillness of jabber. There is a part of us that need to be accepted by our peers, and a part of us that when accepted will feel above those idiots. Damn Clyde, ani't life a bitch !!! With your permission Clyde may I ask, who are you the closest to. Do you talk, do you laugh together, is there anyone you share a common dream ?

He offered a prize which lead to the invention of canning. > Regards Vesta----------Ps Got some Meth labs up your way, > lucky your alive. I think I'd smell (or notice) a meth lab if there was one nearby! I am extraordinarily sensitive to solvents. And some forms of pesticides, etc. Interesting thought... I don't think the main guys up here would risk allowing such on their properties. Though some of the sloppy police tend to attribute anything and everything up here to drugs. They even tried to blame the Croy Fire on a meth lab, before concluding it had to be due to solar power because the fire started near a UL approved inverter, and solar panels did not have a permit. (???) That's just the kind of mentality we have out here. I think they seized the property the fire started on; they were threatening to seize everything the family owned for the expense of... not putting it out themselves and letting the state put it out! Our number one enemies are not the mountain lions, bobcats and rattle snakes; they are the government officials who don't want us to use our land. The reason the Croy fire spread, was that the ciy fire departments refused to put it out. They just stood there, letting it spread till the California Department of Forestry and fire control had to fly tankers and helicopters, etc. I actually saw this with my binoculars! And then after saying they won't go after folks up here who have structures, they sent a survey team out and said that any structure that survived, and was not covered by permits would be razed! One of our old timers, a really nice guy I met several times, died of a heart attack arguing with officials over their refusal to issue the final permit for his retirement home. He'd paid tons of money for every other permit, then blocked him on the last one. But in general, if we don't cause trouble, and our neighbors don't complain, they don't cause trouble for us. And it's still one heck of a lot better than what goes on in other countries. -javilk- mall-net.com ------------------- IMAGINEERING -------------------- --------------- Every click, a vote. ---------------- ----- Do people vote for, or against your pages? ---- -- What people want: http://www.SitePsych.com/free -- ----------------------------------------------------- Another Javilk (tm) brand post.

Not quite! But close. Since it was almost pitch black, I had the luxury of having them covered with a laser pointer mounted on an infra-red non-contact thermometer, giving the impression common to many police guns which have such pointers on them. (Psychological warfare with lasers!) (I forgot to read the temperature.) I _think_ the laser did the trick. but quite frankly, I couldn't see the dot on their black jackets, either for the lack of reflectivity, the weakness of the pointer, or my own inability to keep it steady; so it may have been just my voice. I thought about this a little before I did it... Given _their_ circumstances, trespassing in the dark, knowing they are cutting through private property (having to go under the wire gate, etc.) and a little unsure of portions of the path, etc.; a good strong voice should have startled them, thus preventing them from thinking clearly for some minutes. Unless, of course, they expected me, in which case I might be dead. But given they were RETURNING to the property after dark... having already cased the place earlier... (and not seeing me...) I felt surprise was mine. As well as more compelled to act rather than fleeing. My clear strong voice gave clear and specific orders. (and no explicit threat.) It also made it fairly clear by implication that I did not care whom they were; thus no retribution was likely if they complied. The no-retribution was a critical point of the message, as was NOT chasing them other than that one step forward to get them moving backward. They didn't have to defend themselves. It was why I gave that message at the point where I did, instead of waiting to see if they would steal. Once they had something to defend, be it actions or loot, I knew that I would have had a much, much tougher time. They got the essence of that quickly, and realized that "elsewhere was better." Done! All except the shaking due to residual adrenaline and adrenaline breakdown products. > Also John did not mention if he had to throw away his pants and take a > shower as soon as possible. Didn't have to. I pretty much knew what the risks were. I knew that If I didn't die instantly in a hail of gunfire, which was kind of unlikely, they would leave. And if I would die instantly, I would have died anyway when they found me hiding in the bushes somewhere. For IF they were armed and ready, they would have been the type to have some fun with me before letting me die of blood loss and shock. And they would make sure that I did die so that I could not identify them. And if not that time, then maybe when they came back yet again and found me in my bed or something. So it was kind of a simple equation for me to solve. Their behavior in all this suggested they were fairly decent and compliant folks, not the armed thugs I feared. And from what I heard later, they might be local to the area, in which case they were probably just taking a path around a locked gate. By not chasing them, I let them know I was fair and decent... I trusted them to leave. (I mean, I could see them drive off...) Most people, even not so good people, are decent in the face of a sufficiently plausible threat _IF_ they are given a way out. And I made darned sure I wasn't in their way out, and that they knew their way out! Now, that is quite a contrast to what I did when two attack trained dogs, one of them a pitbull, charged me last year. I was on the dog's territory! Dogs instinctively run after what runs away, so running was not an option. In any event, I saw their rate of close was too quick to make it to my car. I wouldn't even have had the chance to get the door open, I'd have been very lucky to vault onto the roof, and then would have to spend time kicking them off the car. And would have been mauled to death if I tripped. I stepped out of their attack training profile by squatting down, holding my hand out and nodding nodding nodding gently while saying hellow... helloww....how are you? You're such a nice dog. Helloooowwww... and just turning off my fear as I kept turning to face them. The other option, of firmly yelling "go home!" would not likely have worked because they were too excited and they on their own territory. The scared person in that little encounter was the dog owner, who soon came running with ashen green face. When he got his hand on the pitbull's collar, it was clenched so hard that it was White! By then, the pitbull and I were good friends, and still are. The owner and dog have visited me a few times, and I them. Friendly dog? The man's landlord nearly had his bloody arm ripped off by that pitbull. He used the wrong approach. Remember what Herbert wrote in Dune "Fear is the mind killer". If you let your initial fear dissipate, then you can use your mind to master the situation. And engaging your mind in dealing with the situation is the fastest way of dissipating fear. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

The most dangerous thugs are the least expected people you could meet. Give me a thug that is armed, or known to be violent and I will have a chance, no matter how slim, to defend myself. The unarmed thug with good or bad intentions are to be feared as the plague. Everyone of us in today's world think we are decent people. The Psyco-Babble of today has an excuse for every little or big unsocial action we take. There are few people out there who does not know of someone, or have a family member who for some reason commits an act that raises the eye brows of every one that knows them. Come to think of it, I, myself, just a few days ago acted out of character. It was raining out, we had dread full weather for May here in New Hampshire. The temp. was mid 40ies !!! I had to get some things at the Mall and because of the cold damp weather it seemed like everyone in town had gone shopping---nothing else to do. I parked way out into the boonies and was soaked to the skin when I got inside. I got my purchases, about $30.00 worth, picked up the 3 plastic bags and headed home as soon as I could get there. Soon as I got home I dropped the bags, hiked up the heat, stripped and took a LONG, steaming hot shower. Jumping into bed, pulling the covers over my head I was knocked out in about 30 seconds. Next day, about 16 hours later I finally came out of it feeling much better, until I went into the kitchen to get blasted by my house mates for turning up the heat to 90 degrees. I began to unload one bag on the kitchen table and nothing I pulled out was anything I had bought. A very nice watch, about $ 50.00, a tasteless birthday card and a box of safe sex devices. I rounded up my family and told them I had one of their bags, nope, no one shopped at that store, son of a gun!! Next 2 bags were mine, everything I thought I had bought, but where had the third bag come from ? It was raining out still, temp. a bit higher closer to 50 but I was not about to go out and catch a chill again. No one in my damn house would drive down to the mall to return the bag, they all had plans. So, I took the easy way out, I called the store and asked if anyone had complained about missing goods. The manager was a real piece of work, he informed me that his clerks did not make mistakes of that kind.(( ie ) his clerks had never handed a customer the wrong bag at any time on HIS watch. My excuse for not returning the bag to the next shift manager was----- It was cold and raining out. The manager I spoke to was rude and haughty. The next shift manager would most likely be like the first. The best one was that since the goods had been paid for, if I returned them the manager would pocket them for himself. This is how we decent people (?) delude ourselves into acts that go against the grain. The fact that moms birthday and one of my sons also was coming up never came into my decision, or did it ? Mom loves the watch, my son cracked up on the card and I myself kept the rubbers, you never know, I could get lucky.

Mbest sent us a killer article and John is in the bush with a temperature devise that he uses to run off the local Hells Angels. Me, I am still beating myself up for converting things that were not mine Clyde, what do you do when you fall out of love with someone or something ? You have still not told us why on earth you would stay in a life style you abhor. off subject,-------UFO-----I ask this question of everyone I meet at work. Lots of interesting answers, but, I would like to know especially from someone who practices science, has an interest in science, What is your take on possible alien visits and abductions ? You should know, Betty Hill died this year. She was old and Barney died years ago. We all in this community knew her and Barney, he was my mailman for a couple years when I lived in Rye. Pease Air force Base closed down about 18 years ago but the air base shrink who tested the couple remained in the Portsmouth area for a few years after the closing. This man made buco bucks beating the drum for the Hills. Betty was head of the Portsmouth library and SMART !!!!! She went against convention and married a black mail man, almost unheard of in that day. Barney Hill was no dummy himself, self assured and spunky. Barney was no JIVE TURKEY man, he was very well educated and not a man to panic under any earthly happening. My Dad worked for the shipyard in Kittery Me. at the time, he also belonged to the Portsmouth Yacht Club. Dad was low on the totem pole at the club but as acting Master of the Navy Lodge, he got to people most of us never meet. So, he was interested as we all were and everything he heard from the base commander down to the shrink who ( owned a 65 foot sail boat ) was that these people to their knowledge were not telling a tall tail. Yet, Dad could not believe in this stuff. If anything, he believed the Aliens if they were actual, were from earth, the future. He believed that sometime in the future man would learn how to travel back in time and was-- doing so. The strange pictures people drew of these aliens are too human to be from "off planet ". Dad as a hard hat diver for the navy from the 40ies to the late 50ies knew what it takes to go into an alien life form. To live on this planet earth under water there are clothing and breathing and survival skills involved. he believed the so called aliens wore suits to protect them from our germs, and that in the future the havoc of nuclear waste caused man to be deformed and strange looking to us in our own time. I found and read the books dad had read as a kid in grandmas attic. In the 30ies he read these small books in size of Buck Rodgers, regular size books of the submarine boys, all the action adventure stuff for kids with no t.v. Notice after 1938 all mention of atom guns etc was no longer mentioned. Even in the comic books of the time all mention of atoms were missing . Manhattan project was in full swing. Clyde, can you in your wildest dreams, have any idea what it would take to pull that off in this day in age? Back then we were going head to head with the German scientists. So Dad back then had seen how the military disposed of nuclear waste, get a gross of 50 gallon metal drums, fill them with hot waste, incase them in cement and drop them off the fan tail of a destroyer 200 miles off shore. Dad was so upset, he told me when I was a kid that I should not be surprised when I bought a lobster and it had two tails. Not that this is a bad thing for us lobster lovers, YUMMMMMM. So Clyde do you agree with my dad or do you have other ideas ?

I have very little trust for anything anyone says. I assign a percentage probability to most things. I watch what people do. It's not that people lie, it's that they say, then when time comes, think more carefully and act in a way that is more sensible to them than the way they had once thought they should act. But when people are presented with a choice, most people, most of the time, take one of the decent options. All this really does, is make it easier for me to reinterpret what I have seen and heard should my expectations not pan out, should things suddenly seem to have changed. Rare, is it that they change on a whim; the seeds of change are almost always visible in retrospect. > The most dangerous thugs are the least expected people you could meet. Give They are easiest to identify, and often the easiest to deal with. Angry people don't think. Thus if you are willing to relax and take in the greater arena they are angry within, you can often turn them around for your gain, and for their own gain. And when you turn them around for their own gain, they see you are a decent chap and are much more polite to you. > me a thug that is armed, or known to be violent and I will have a chance, no > matter how slim, to defend myself.

That is why it is important to recognize the difference between internally inspired discontent, externally inspired discontent, and biologically inspired discontent. Internal discontent is usually because you didn't act as you would like to see yourself acting. It may be due to character issues, information issues, etc. We must accept that we can improve, and should improve... but not so much that we are not ourselves! Remember, knowledge is the enemy of learning, and can be the enemy of imagination as well as its ally. External discontent comes from the way others act toward you. It may be their problem, or the way they interact with us, the impression we have cast. In many ways, our expectations are seen as cues by others who amplify them back at us. If I show up in a really good suit, they expect me to be able to solve their problems. If I show up dressed in rags, I am booted out the door! Just dressing in a good conservative manner doubled my income! Biological discontent can be due to lack of food, critical nutrients, sleep, cold, etc. Some of it we can take care of, some we can't. It is important to try to be at our peak biologically so that we can be at our peak morally. (In the broad sense, not just the sexual sense. That means we hold our best image before us. It includes putting forth the best of our character, and the best of our mental abilities.) (Or that's one way of looking at things. There are many ways of looking; do not confine yourself to the view of one eye, that you miss the depth two views can provide.) > Come to think of it, I, myself, just a few days ago acted out of character. > I began to unload one bag on the kitchen table and nothing I pulled out > was anything I had bought.

And not without it sitting there for a while in case someone came. Also, didn't you look at the receipt? Was it a credit card purchase? That time and reference number could be traced either by you or the manager to deliver a message to the person who actually bought and paid for the item. > This is how we decent people (?) delude ourselves into acts that go > against the grain. Since it was an honest mistake, and likely NOT by you... you are under no obligation to return the goods immediately... no obligation OTHER than the keeping of the image which you wish to maintain of yourself. The highest obligation you have to yourself, is to maintain that good clear image of whom you are, even when circumstance is against you. Especially when circumstance is against you! When people see that, the right people are attracted to you, and the motives of others may be more clearly seen. (And the latter is a HUGE benefit!) Your second highest, is to improve that image as you can. Of course, that usually, though not always, presumes you are within the acceptable norms of society. Look at what Mark Felt did. He saw his duty to the constitution was more important than his duty to the president. In the beginning, many of us felt that Deep Throat was a traitor. But as Watergate unraveled, it became clear that the person who was working against the constitution, and the people of the USA, was Nixon. Felt was a hero, and was leaking just enough to prevent Nixon from expanding his grasp to strangle vital principles that make this nation great. And yet... and yet... how much of what happened in Viet Nam, how many tens or hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, Cambodian, and others paid with their lives in so called "re-education camps" when all this interfered with our attempt to keep back the communists? Judgment call. Similar with Clinton's sexual crisis during his fight against Bin Laden. Likely Clinton's distraction lead to the missile strike against Bin Laden, and thus catapulted Bin Laden to a high enough status that he could strike the twin towers. History is so hard to predict when it hasn't happened yet, when we haven't seen all the forces behind the results. Revealing those forces is the job of the CIA, DIA, and other related services. Planning responses is the job of many other services. Being ready to act is the job of The President. In both cases, personal issues kept our presidents from being ready. Those issues SHOULD have kept them out of office! But we the people neglected our moral responsibility and voted them in anyway. Bush... but what was the alternative? I feel he does not have the imagination, either in himself or his staff, to deal with crisis of the magnitude of the Twin Towers. He went with the flow of emotion instead of pointing out how stupid and minor that strike really was. As a result, he let the nation panic and we all suffered incredible economic losses TOTALLY UNRELATED to the direct economic effects of that set of buildings collapsing. (A particular thorn in my side, as that killed the businesses I relied upon, and so killed one of my "mad scientist" type of businesses. That loss of income is one reason I landed here, instead of a cabin built by someone else.) Imagine how different this nation would be today, if the twin towers fell due to an accidental aircraft impact, or some structural flaw, say wind resonance. Our economy would not have suffered ONE TENTH of the damage! Probably not ONE HUNDREDTH of the damage that Bush, in his go-with-the-sympathetic-flow speeches and actions allowed to happen. (Not to say Al Gore would have done better; I think Gore or Kerry would have done far worse!) I think a better response would have been to say this was only 3,000 people in 275 million, that more people die of auto accidents in two weeks than this, in five days from cigarette smoking. That the flue takes more lives. Go on to emphasize this action was morally cowardly (quote from the Koran on harming civilians, etc. Plenty of stuff there to turn his people against him!). Make it clear that this cowardly action was militarily absurdly stupid. (You blew up two civilian buildings... those are not military targets, they didn't help your people. Rub in that just blew all the support Islam had in the USA! Support that was contributing $xxxx per year to fund schools, etc. for your people!) Then call him on his total inability to follow through. Make him look like the real ass he is! Instead, Bush exacerbated the damage to our faith in ourselves by playing up the honor of those who died. Two days after I ran those motorcycle hoods (or whomever) off the property, I felt stronger for having taken action. I was more willing to do things to improve my lot up here. Not only did I show them that this was MY territory; I also showed myself whom I am, what I am capable of. Trump is right. Rebuild the twin towers taller and better! Not one story higher, but ten! Let it be not so much an act of defiance, as an act of faith in ourselves. Construction SHOULD have started the week after they fell. (Not full construction, just the preliminaries to SHOW intent while the buildings were re-designed to be better, to be cross connected for escape purposes, etc.) That's what a good mad scientist, or mad politician does. He stands up to defend what he believes in. He rebuilds anyway. And when it blows up in his face, he figures out why, and rebuilds it again, and again, and again till it stands right and true! As to the "airport militia", it scares people too much. That is part of the reason our air system is falling apart -- people are afraid to fly! The message should have been "You are responsible for the airlines. You built them with your dollars. You are responsible to take command of the passenger cabin if anyone tries to take it away from you." (That's more or less what one set of airline pilots said to their passengers after flights resumed. Get to know the guy sitting next to you.) We are the mad scientists. We are the ones who look beyond the present, who seek to make the world a better place by taking the stands which need to be taken. And the best way to win those stands, is to let reality argue for us... Jujustu of the mind, let the enemy strike the wall, not you, and fall from his own energy. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

There was an interesting book I read just a few years back on the UFO phenomenon. Some psychological analysis, as opposed to all the other stuff I read on UFOs long ago. My parents were aliens! They came to America, in part for the open space to live. I have also worked with aliens! And an alien saved my life! Sadly for space buffs, my parents were normal humans born in Europe, and went on from alien status to become naturalized citizens. The aliens I worked with had H1B visas, some from India, Iran, Ireland, England, etc. And the alien who saved my life was from Yugoslavia. He looked human to me. As for my ex wife... I don't know, she was defective. She defected from the soviet union, pretty much making her an alien. She also, much later, said she always knew she was a psychopath. I suppose the combination makes her rather alien to our way of life. She sure was! Enough that I parted company after I realized she was trying to kill me. You've already heard my Alien Face = face of specific breed of cow speech, and the time I mistook the moon for a space ship. I like what I read in one article. If there is life out there in space, why haven't they visited us yet? If there are so many planets and all that, why haven't they visited yet? Maybe they just are not there... Could it be that faster than light travel... is too expensive? Not just in terms of money, but in terms of building up to that technology. Could it be that civilization is just too fragile? Or too unlikely? Look at how many civilizations rose and fell. And look at how many civilizations arose in Africa. (Any?) Why? Could it be that civilizations... just... aren't interested in knowledge? What did the Christians say about the sun? It could NOT have any imperfections... and poor Galileo... Or look at Imperial China for that matter. Stagnation! Or could it be that we only really like to play with kids our own age? This is a flashlight, Ogg. It lets you see in the dark. Ogg: me sleep in dark. Your flashlight only shine in one direction. Me have fire at night, it scare away all bad spirits all around, not just in front of me. So why visit Ogg the caveman, when we are so much more interested in what we are doing. The book pointed out that we interpret the unknown in terms of the known. Meaning we use the unknown to mirror ourselves and our logic. What better unknown is there today, than space? We speak of it all the time, see views from space on the weather reports. It is our future, at least in some say. In olden times, God was supreme. Many people who fell into religious trances. What we saw in the sky was a sign from God. And when some voice spoke to us, it was either a ghost, the devil or a saint. Or if you were really off your rocker, God Himself. Today, the common terminology uses something else besides religion as a base. These people claim abduction in UFOs, and we call the unknown UFOs or space aliens who are running the government because we are totally powerless. (And thus don't need to bother with all that voting stuff.) And when some voice speaks to us, it is a space alien! (Or when the ignorant seek to show some superior something, they say a space alien told them. Can you imagine the Mormons if they were founded today? It wouldn't be spirits that gave them the Book of Moroni. Indeed, there have been cults founded that way, and not just the bunch who killed themselves to transfer to that space ship following whatever comet that was some ten years ago.) I think there are enough unknowns here on earth that we don't need space aliens to explain it all away. I think there are enough brain malfunction and perceptual errors, that we don't need space aliens to explain. (Mike? what was that article on religious revelations and malnutrition?) So far, I think the only aliens I've met recently are either the illegal kind, or those with H1B visas. And I think there are just too many of them around. I would be thrilled to see a space alien! I just don't think I will. And if I do... will we have to worry about something like The Andromeda Strain? Or will they simply be out to steal all the iron in the core of our planet before the next, less ethical bunch of explorers does? -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

The head high honcho, the big cheese, men to be feared, respected, admired, loved, hated, high drama every day they are in charge. They become a God of sorts in their own mind, there EGO has no bounds. POWER, ah the smell of absolute power has driven more then one world leader insane. In the past, in the days of kings, people were raised to be leaders. From the moment of birth these future kings and queens lost all rights that were given to their very subjects. Each moment of their lives was structured for them by loyal mentors and mentors that hated them. The latter spent their waking hours plotting the death of their charges. By their 10th. year these children could and some did command legions of troops. Their training was constant and unrelenting. The Republic that we live in today is as far from the days of kings as we are from living in caves. We choose our leaders on the amount of support they can get-----MONEY -----. and well , lets face it, what will they do for us? " a chicken in every pot" promise Poor Bush, his father had , and still does plan to have both his sons follow him as president. Daddy Bush however, never raised this boys to follow him. His sons couldn't function in the military much less command it. When away from family influences our Leader had one heck of a time drinking, drugging, acting and living as the normal rabble of the masses. Daddy got our leader into the Skull and Cross Bones where he met and played with the children of wealth. He came out of that with good connections in the money game, but what training to lead did he get there, none. Poor man, he got caught up in his fathers dream and was expected to somehow gain the tools needed to lead with no help from anyone. I cannot fathom how Daddy Bush could have neglected to parent his son, train, teach him to follow him. Perhaps Daddy didn't give a hoot how his kid would fare, just as long as he followed him. Good leaders must be TRAINED to lead. They should have above average intelligence and have at least a passing reference with economics, history and feel that they have a mission to improve the lives of all citizens. Above all, they must feel the weight of office, their duty to us must come first. I don't think our leader has the ego, to lead. A puppet to his father from the first swearing in ceremony, a prisoner to the whims of others, we saw in the Clinton years just how much power a president really has-----Clinton could not even get Monica a full time paying job in government service. POWER, what power, these leaders we get now don't write their own speeches, they say what they are told to say by their advisors, the mentors reincarnated from the days of kings, some love you and are loyal, some hate you and plot against you. I would dare to guess that Greenspan is the actual power in this country. One stroke of his pen can make or break millions and millions of us. I try never to blame our president when they trip up, most times it is due to inattention to what is being told to him. There is so much going on around them, seldom do they have a chance to focus in on one thing-split attention and too much trust in others will be their end. Now Clinton and his co-president wife were a hoot. Clinton could , like a computer take half a dozen problems and concentrate on them one at a time, no overlap or confusion in that mans mind. This very well educated president had the common sense to marry a woman smarter then he. It must have been hell for those who attempted to sell him on anything with Hillary around. I never gave a flying fig about his sex life, none of my business. Hillary herself only objected when it became public. I would rather have a Stud Muffin in office then some impotent frustrated jerk. And as a side light, when Clinton visited our area one year, Mom and I went to see him arrive. Somehow we managed to get to the front row and as Clinton passed he touched our hands. I looked at my Moms face, all 80 years of life showing and knew in an instant , that as a woman, and at her age, she would drop her knickers for that one if God were to grant her one last wish. Those were good years for New England, housing was reasonable, the middle class were headed up higher and the poor had jobs and could afford to live better then ever. Our shipyard had tons of work, summer visitors and winter skiers came by the thousands, the money came flowing in. Our 401k plans tripled in value, guess we all went crazy buying what to us would be luxury items in the past but were almost mandatory now. Anyone wanting extra money could flip burgers for 12.00 an hour weekends. Now, Oh Brother, what a change. It no longer matters what or how you make a living, it could be gone tomorrow. Housing costs here in the seacoast are crazy, thanks to foresight I bought my own home 10 years ago, I went from paying 400.00 a month for a two bedroom apartment to 600.00 a month for a 11 room new home. In the last classified add in the paper I find a two bedroom apartment costs 1,200--- 1,400 a month now. A home the size of mine rents for 2,200 a month and up ---- no utilities. The only way to live in this state is now to bunk up as the Asians do. If you cannot by a home, rent and put bunk beds in all rooms to rent out so everyone can save for the American dream, their own home. This war is another thing, in the last 18 months the sons and daughters of family and friends being called up, it began as a trickle but now is no longer unusual news, has become a torrent. I now know few people who do not now have a family member , either over there or on call up. > I feel he does not have the >>imagination, either in himself or his staff, to deal with crisis of the >magnitude of the Twin Towers. He went with the flow of emotion instead >of pointing out how stupid and minor that strike really was ----------------------- Yes John, you are right. Who could have known or had plans drawn up to deal with this kind of disaster. I took a week off from work just to stay glued to the T.V. and watch the drama unfold. What do I remember the most, well since I have a 53 inch T.V. I can see the hair in the nose of everyone on the screen, so I got a front row seat. I remember the wild eyes of the secret service guarding the president. When the news was relayed to Bush the people around him went nuts. I would think they, the guards were all receiving conflicting instructions. I have heard that Bush demanded to be taken to NYC but was overruled by someone with the power to do so. Bush was thrown about like a bag of potatoes. No one was going to listen to him and his commands, his guards had sworn an oath to die to protect the president. When you think about it, this means , the guards could have bound and gagged our president for his own good. Everyone around him was hysterical, finger pointing and imagination gone wild. I don't think even his mother who was as shocked as all Americans could have advised him at this point. While all this was going on I had a dream , in it Al Gore sat watching T.V. and laughing his ass off, " wow that was close----you cheated to get the office, now deal with it." The sun is shining and the river calls to me. Got to grab my Kayak and see what there is to see. Life goes on around me but as long as I can get to the river, I am in heaven.

Why they went communist is any ones guess, after WW2 did they need a way to get arms ? Curious thing, since they did not trust the west, what on earth came into their minds that they could trust the Russians ? Being who they were and their history, did they think they could beat the crazy Russians at their own game? John, I was at a coffee shop on the grounds of my Faith. I saw a very young girl sitting alone, listening to the music. She sat alone for so long I went to her and asked where her parents were. She said " they are in China ", Wow, so who is looking after this child? I asked her where she was going to school and she told me she lived on campus at the University of New Hampshire. I asked her what she was studding and she laughed, this 16 year old was a professor of biology, at 16 she was a flippen professor. Took my breath away.

A puppet to his father from I think he does; he just isn't able to articulate it that well. Also, I think he does not want to be the imperial president. If he did, the approach would be different, as would the writing team behind him. Remember, Reagan did not write "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!" His speech writers did. But in his book, the man who did write it said Reagan's style and focus were so clear, that it was very easy to match the style and focus. And that Reagan read more than the writing team did, from politics to science, and was always talking to them, asking them to look at this or that. I still remember that statement Reagan made about trees causing pollution in cities. Everyone seemed to think he was nuts! Yet I'd read the studies about six months before. Reagan was RIGHT! Auto pollution plus tree pollution is worse pollution! But no one wanted to belive him. Gee wiz... ever see the Blue Ridge mountains? Ever try to clean a camera lens after a day in the woods with it uncapped? Trees give off A LOT of tar-like air pollution!!! Though it's different from, and maybe not as harmful to us as auto pollution. One of the marks of the man's brilliance, was his ability to shoot snakes out of the water at his home using a hand gun. None of the secret service agents could hit a snake raising it's head out of the water; but Reagan could, and did it consistently. The secret service were using bullets. Reagan loaded his own shells... for that purpose, with buckshot. It was a while before he told the agents why he could hit the snakes so consistently. > I would dare to guess that Greenspan is the actual power in this country. > One stroke of his pen can make or break millions and millions of us.

How total an asshole he might have become at that moment, or how great he might have been, had he focused on reassuring us. But he might well have shown himself clueless as to how to respond. And would we have trusted his voice? And Forbes. Great speech, but a single interview killed him when it was clear he was too locked up by the stress of giving that speech. How would he have handled it? For that matter, how would we have handled it? My like might have been "brilliant tactical move. But strategically, it's a suicidal move for you and your cause." Or "Coward! I'm your target, not innocent people. Now all you've done, is made the remaining 275 million Americans mad at you. And we are going to stomp you into the dust." Yes, I would have baited him to show the world how ineffective he was. Because in a situation like that, the president is disposable. His generals and his people are not. And that stand rallies people instead of letting them tremble in fear. (Even before election, I'd have already made the tape saying that if you see this tape, I have been kidnaped or killed.

Lots of interesting answers, but, I would like to know especially from someone who practices science, has an interest in science, What is your take on possible alien visits and abductions ? AS FAR AS ABDUCTIONS ARE CONCERNED, I COULD CARE LESS. AS FAR AS ALIEN VISITS ARE CONCERNED; IF ALIENS HAVE VISITED EARTH, AND IF THEY CONTINUE TO DO SO, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FEDERAL GOV'T. DISCLOSE THE KNOWLEDGE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION, IF IT IS INDEED A REALITY. MOST IMPORATANT TO ME IS, THE TECHNOLOGY THAT ALIENS WOULD HAVE; THAT IS WHAT INTERESTS ME THE MOST, AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF 'ESOTERIC' SPACESHIP DESIGN. You should know, Betty Hill died this year. She was old and Barney died years ago. We all in this community knew her and Barney, he was my mailman for a couple years when I lived in Rye. Pease Air force Base closed down about 18 years ago but the air base shrink who tested the couple remained in the Portsmouth area for a few years after the closing. This man made buco bucks beating the drum for the Hills. Betty was head of the Portsmouth library and SMART !!!!! She went against convention and married a black mail man, almost unheard of in that day. Barney Hill was no dummy himself, self assured and spunky. Barney was no JIVE TURKEY man, he was very well educated and not a man to panic under any earthly happening. My Dad worked for the shipyard in Kittery Me. at the time, he also belonged to the Portsmouth Yacht Club. Dad was low on the totem pole at the club but as acting Master of the Navy Lodge, he got to people most of us never meet. So, he was interested as we all were and everything he heard from the base commander down to the shrink who ( owned a 65 foot sail boat ) was that these people to their knowledge were not telling a tall tail. Yet, Dad could not believe in this stuff. If anything, he believed the Aliens if they were actual, were from earth, the future. He believed that sometime in the future man would learn how to travel back in time and was-- doing so. The strange pictures people drew of these aliens are too human to be from "off planet ". Dad as a hard hat diver for the navy from the 40ies to the late 50ies knew what it takes to go into an alien life form. To live on this planet earth under water there are clothing and breathing and survival skills involved. he believed the so called aliens wore suits to protect them from our germs, and that in the future the havoc of nuclear waste caused man to be deformed and strange looking to us in our own time. I found and read the books dad had read as a kid in grandmas attic. In the 30ies he read these small books in size of Buck Rodgers, regular size books of the submarine boys, all the action adventure stuff for kids with no t.v. Notice after 1938 all mention of atom guns etc was no longer mentioned. Even in the comic books of the time all mention of atoms were missing . Manhattan project was in full swing. Clyde, can you in your wildest dreams, have any idea what it would take to pull that off in this day in age? Back then we were going head to head with the German scientists. So Dad back then had seen how the military disposed of nuclear waste, get a gross of 50 gallon metal drums, fill them with hot waste, incase them in cement and drop them off the fan tail of a destroyer 200 miles off shore. Dad was so upset, he told me when I was a kid that I should not be surprised when I bought a lobster and it had two tails. Not that this is a bad thing for us lobster lovers, YUMMMMMM. So Clyde do you agree with my dad or do you have other ideas ? I DON'T KNOW, THE STORY IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO FOLLOW. AS FAR AS NUCLEAR RADIOACTIVITY IS CONCERNED; I DID PLAY THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE FOR A TIME, AND TO A CERTAIN DEGREE, STILL DO, BUT NOW SINCE JOHN/JAVILK INTRODUCED ME TO ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAINWAVE ENTRAINMENT, AND ALPHA RADIO-ACTIVITY, I SUPPORT THE LOW FREQUENCY PORTION OF THE E.M. SPECTRUM MORE. I HOPE THAT WHAT I WROTE ABOVE, MAKES SENSE; RIGHT NOW I FEEL HALF BRAIN DEAD, AND MY ANGER IS NUCLEAR AT THIS TIME. CLYDE.

Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I would live long enough to see this come about. Not knowing anything about anything, just enjoying my kitchen chemistry, believe me baking is all about chemistry . These here solar sailing ships are right out of my fathers," Some day you will see," Sea tales. The concept is easy enough to grasp, Lets see if I have the concept correct. A Fleet Ballistic Russian submarine is going to blast the unmanned ship into space. The ship will blast out of earths orbit. Then the sails will emerge from the craft and with the mirrors installed will amplify the light from our star, Sol, and begin to move ever so slowly. It will pick up speed as it travels, going faster and faster unless it bumps into a planet, comet or asteroid . Because the craft never slows but increases speed, it will no longer need the sails, just rely on inertia? Can a craft withstand the forces within and without that will sooner or later be placed upon it. At a super speed, will the craft create its own gravity field causing it to implode. Speed causes increase in g-force on earth. Question, the speed of light, do the atoms have a gravity of there own ? Sorry, I ask these stupid questions, the pictures are there in my mind and not being educated in this field , it is impossible for me to (not ) try to understand them.

Further, coronal mass ejections (CME's) from Sol would literally nuke any life aboard a ship that was in the way. This was a serious concern during the Apollo program- men on the moon had no defense, and could be fried had there been a CME. > Because the craft never slows but increases speed, it will no longer need > the sails, just rely on inertia?

There is NO stupid question, except the one not asked. This trial will be a modern day Michaelson-Morley experiment, validating or refuting The General Theory of Relativity by Einstein. From it may well come a new theory of reality. Now I'll reveal that I have been working, privately, for several years on reactionless propulsion. I have made progress, producing significant forces in the lab without using the Newtonian law of action/reaction. I have created more questions than I have answered, and actually fear where this work is leading, as I do not understand the forces I am playing with. I've mentioned this to Javilk before. But I think my investigations may lend a clue to the technology that can take man to the stars.

No more so than the previous administration. Probably less, in fact. Not great! But not that bad. I mean, just look at Jimmy the Peanut! Stagflation, 55mph speed limits, and the hostages in Iran.

Plus the loss of confidence, etc. > GEORGE BUSH IS A DECEPTOR, AND A HYPOCRITE, > AND I HAVE NO MORE LOVE LEFT FOR HIM. Part of America agrees with you, and part disagrees. I'm with the part that says he's not that bad, and hopes the next election has considerably better to chose from. Till then, I favor Bush over the folks in the the other parties that he ran against. It's a little hard to find a good replacement. You might look around to see who's campaign you can volunteer to help. There are several parties you can join. Libertarians aren't that bad; they've won some seats in various states. Put your words to fair action by really participating in the election process. Just remember to follow the rules of fair play. You will meet interesting people, make new friends, and DO someting instead of thinking that you are powerless. You will really partake of America. And if you start really helping a party, you can see if that party exists in any other state you want to move to. This will give you some contacts and good introductions which could be helpful should you move. If you join a party with the thought of moving; then Libertarian is small enough that you would likely be appreciated in the new state. That's part of what politics is all about -- you scratch my back, and I'll scratch your back. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

That's why on so many projects, I start out the fool, asking the fool's questions. In the end, they think of me as the expert. The Oracles of Delphi (high on ethylene gas) said Socrates was a wise man. Yet Socrates was known for his persistence in asking people questions about all sorts of things, delving into the details till they became contradictory folk lore. The interpretation was that Socrates knew that he didn't know, and hence was wiser than those who thought they knew things. > modern day Michaelson-Morley experiment, validating or refuting The = > General > Theory of Relativity by Einstein.

Try Google. > Does anybody know where such a list may be found? Are hobby robotics > projects appropriate for this list? Of course! Back in the mid 90's, I use to belong to a hobby robotics club in Palo Alto, California. There are a number of such clubs across the USA and in other countries. I'm sill interested in the topic myself. I built two robotic devices, Klankenspiel, a platform between two bicycle wheels, and Klunkenspiel, a 2x4 frame for a Velociraptor / waddler. Klankenspiel would spin whenever one of the bicycle type drive chains came off. Cut a good hand-sized chunk out of a concrete curb in one spot. Easy to operate by pulsing the motors as I ran behind it. My (primitive vertebrate brain) firmware coordinated my feet and my hands, or my thumbs so it was like walking the robot with my hands, letting me steer it by holding the button down longer or shorter, much like pushing off harder with one leg or the other. Had a microprocessor on that for a while, but one of the ports burned out the day before a contest. Klunkenspiel... ah, poor Klunkenspiel. He stood up, smashed his head against a beam on the apartment balcony roof, wrenched out his hip hinge, and collapsed. Since I could not get stronger hip hinges... I just let it sit till I had to move, then tossed it. Got a job just by talking about those two robots. My take was that two engineers at HP wanted to hear more, so they called me in for an interview. Never did ask if I had any skills related to the job at hand. But of course, anyone working with computerized robotics could write bios level stuff... (Shuurrreeee) But I did ok. Had I finished Klunkenspiel, I could have demonstrated him in parking lots of engineering companies, and gotten more work. One does the lunch time demo thing by appointment. It gets one in the door. Short talk about how it was built and the skills you have which are related to what you could do for the company (don't over-pitch here), and then ask if they have any work that relates to the skills you mentioned. Also ask if they have friends at other companies, pass out business cards saying something about call for lunchtime robot demo, collect phone numbers, etc. I've seen things like this done very successfully here in the Silicon Valley engineering firms. I mean today, with all the wireless LAN cards and all that, you could have an older notebook machine run the motors from the printer port, and your notebook communicating to the robot's notebook, allowing you to run the robot. Back in the early 90's... that wasn't so easy! -J- Javilk@Mall-Net.com --------- Windows bound views, but ---------- -- A command line prompts the imagination! -- -- ...and X-Windows lets you have several. -- From justinhart at gmail.com Mon Jun 6 01:53:17 2005 From: justinhart at gmail.com (Justin Hart) Date: Mon Jun 6 01:53:26 2005 Subject: [Mad-Scientists] Hobby Robotics In-Reply-To: <20050606073429.91593.qmail@mall-net.com> References: <20050606073429.91593.qmail@mall-net.com> Message-ID: > Try Google.

Proper self-promotion is something that I've tried to improve on. I think that I did an ok job of it when I was in business, and that I'm getting better at it now that I'm back in academia. Do you have any photos of these robots? Also, another semi-technical question. Does anybody have experience with RFID? I am interested in, perhaps, building a robotic chess board. I think that I could perhaps meet my needs for identifying which pieces are where with some sort of short-range RFID solution, but perhaps not. Any suggestions? I'd like to avoid any need for such devices as overhead cameras, or things that would make the board clunky or bulky. I'm considering moving the pieces around with magnets under the board, rather than an arm or the like, so solutions to the problem of identifying pieces would need to be resilient to some degree of magnetic interference. -- Justin W.

Somewhere, I have a video of Klankenspiel bashing the appliances in the kitchen as I try to get it to run down the linoleum floor from the edge of the dining room carpet to the pantry. All that Klankenspiel was, was two bicycle tires with a steel platform for motors and a battery. Ugly! > Also, another semi-technical question. Does anybody have experience > with RFID?

I would either build my own, or use bar codes on the bases, and play the game on a flatbed scanner. > I'm considering moving the pieces around with magnets under the board, > rather than an arm or the like, so solutions to the problem of > identifying pieces would need to be resilient to some degree of > magnetic interference. How do you castle? How do you move a knight, or a taken piece out of a surround? Is the objective to build the robotics to be able to move the pieces, or to write software to explore the game logic? -J- Javilk@Mall-Net.com --------- Windows bound views, but ---------- -- A command line prompts the imagination! -- -- ...and X-Windows lets you have several. -- From clydelofton at yahoo.com Mon Jun 6 13:46:44 2005 From: clydelofton at yahoo.com (clyde lofton) Date: Mon Jun 6 13:46:52 2005 Subject: [Mad-Scientists] Radioactivity; (Cover version).

To describe this relationship, it is necessary to develop new computational approaches at the single cell level. We have developed AgentCell, a model using agent-based technology to study the relationship between stochastic intracellular processes and behavior of individual cells. As a test-bed for our approach we use bacterial chemotaxis, one of the best-characterized biological systems. In this model, each bacterium is an agent equipped with its own chemotaxis network, motors and flagella. Swimming cells are free to move in a 3D environment. Digital chemotaxis assays reproduce experimental data obtained from both single cells and bacterial populations. http://flash.uchicago.edu/~emonet/biology/agentcell/ From clydelofton at yahoo.com Wed Jun 8 15:46:21 2005 From: clydelofton at yahoo.com (clyde lofton) Date: Wed Jun 8 15:47:18 2005 Subject: [Mad-Scientists] If love is like a gas tank.

An interesting question is whether this is due to your intolerance of your own mistakes, or is an excuse to discharge tension due to a pre-existing adrenaline overload.

Every waking action I do in some way affects the environment. To hell with the environment. Environment ='s enprisonment. I haven't looked up the definitions for ecology, and atmosphere, but those two are what need to be focused upon. If I step on a roach, Roaches don't matter; They need to be genetically eradicated from existance, forever, like fly's do. I have changed the ecosystem. If I breath I add Carbon monoxide I thought that it is carbon dioxide that we add to the air. to the atmostphere. The atmosphere is a good thing to focus on, but the enprisonment (the environment,) can go to hell; I am sick of environmental illness. The Commune (City) of Tulsa, is an environment. Aw, but the trees take care of it. Nature is designed by a God that knows how to balance nature perfectly. I am confused about if nature is mother nature, or father nature, or maybe both??? Unfortunately we mess up the balance. We kill off wolves and the deer abound to where they are a nuisance. If we could have more deer, then more people could go hunting, and everyone could have a lot more food for ourselves. Now if we can just stop men from messing up the environment The enprisonment? Rush Limbaugh is actually correct, now that I realize that environmentalism is bullshit. I support Ecologism, if there is such, because I am sick and tired of environment. nature(God) can take care of the rest. g I wish nature and technology could be unified, but as long as the worthless and corrupt politicians and powers that be, exist, nature and technolgy will never be one, in perfect harmony with one another.

CLYDE, DO YOU SMOKE ? NOPE; DON'T SMOKE; ALTHOUGH I INTEND TO SMOKE SOME LOTUS HERB NEXT MONTH, TO EXPERIMENT WITH NELUMBO LOTUS, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I DON'T SMOKE CIGARETTES. IF NOT, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS VERY DANGERIOUS DRUG NICOTINE ? ACTUALLY AT ONE TIME, LAST YEAR, I WAS CONSIDERING BUYING NICOTINE GUM, TO ATTEMPT TO EASE MY NERVES, UNTIL I FOUND OUT TWO THINGS: 1. IT'S SO GOD DAMNED EXPENSIVE. AND; 2. I WILL MAKE A PERSON NAUSEATED, IF THEY ARE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO SMOKING CIGARETTES. AND SO I DECIDED NOT TO GO THAT ROUTE. THIS IS A NICOTROL INHALER / 10 MG PER CARTRIDGE-----4 MG DELIVERED. OK. I KNOW PEOPLE CAN BECOME ADDICTED TO THESE NICOTINE DELIVERY SYSTEMS, SO, DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS USED THIS SYSTEM TO THEIR ADVANTAGE ? NO, BUT MY PSYCHOLOGIST DOCTOR INFORMED ME THAT OXYGEN, IF USED TOO MUCH, CAN CLEAN A PERSONS LUNGS OUT TOO MUCH, AND CORRODE A PERSON'S LUNGS, AND SO OXYGEN HAS SOME 'BIZARRE' AMAZING HEALING EFFECTS THAT WILL BENEFIT PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR LUNGS. MAYBE YOU OUTTA TRY A COMBINATION OF PURE OXYGEN THERAPY, MIXED WITH THE NICOTINE INHALER, AND USE THEM IN COMBINATION; JUST A THOUGHT AND IDEA, BUT LIKE JOHN; I'M NOT A DOCTOR, AND SO DON'T HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERROR(S) THAT MIGHT EXIST. BETWEEN THE HEAT, INABILITY TO BREATH, FRUSTRATION WITH DAY JOB AND THE GROWING IDEA THAT FOR ME IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO HEAD FOR THE WHITE MOUNTAINS, I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR HISSI-FITS THAT YOU GET NOW AND THEN. IF AND WHEN IT BECOMES UNCOMFORTABLE TO RESIDE IN AN AREA, THEN IS THE TIME TO GET THE HELL OUT. YEAH; I NEED TO MOVE TO A CITY THAT HAS ORDER. TULSA IS A CITY (COMMUNE) OF CHAOS; THE REASON THAT THE SONG: TULSA TIME WAS WRITTEN. FORT COLLINS; I HAVE A FEELING, IS A CITY WITH A LOT MORE ORDER, AND PEACE OF MIND, ESPECIALLY WITH U.T.C. STATIONED THERE; MAYBE THIS IS JUST CRAZY RANTING, BUT I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS NEVERENDING GO-NOWHERE INDUSTRIAL WASTELAND SLUM EMPTY EMPIRE CITY ON A PETROLEUM SINKHOLE. REGARDS VESTA GOTTA GO; LATER, CLYDE To know someone well, you must see what makes make them angry. _______________________________________________ Mad-Scientists mailing list Mad-Scientists@Mad-Scientists.ORG http://www.mad-scientists.org/mailman/listinfo/mad-scientists __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have found it to be quite worthwhile. I consider myself to be something of an "information funnel." I follow dozens, if not hundreds, of feeds per day; major news outlets, blogs, RSS feeds, listservers, etc. I have an insatiable curiosity, and this has led to my appetite for data. What I try my best to do is to filter the volumes of data I see every day, and forward the choice nuggets to many other forums where I think it may engender discussion, thought, and progress.

Here is the privacy policy: https://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/privacy.html There are some conditions under which Google will release your information, clearly dilineated, but I am of the opinion that other free webmail sites would capitulate in similar situations.

Now former LAPD homicide detective and New York Times bestselling author Mark Furhman investigates to find out what really happened. Later this month, Furhman's newest book, Silent Witness: The Untold Story of Terri Schiavo's Death, will be released. It will prove the controversy over Terry Schiavo's death is far from over. And it's not over yet. Despite her death, the controversy lingers. In Silent Witness, Mark Fuhrman applies his highly respected investigative skills to examine the medical evidence, legal case files, and police records. [NewsMax will have among the first copies of this book, order your copy today - Go Here Now.] With the complete cooperation of Terri Schiavo's parents and siblings, as well as their medical and legal advisers, he conducts exclusive interviews with forensics experts and crucial witnesses, including friends, family members, and caregivers. Fuhrman's findings will answer these questions: What was Terri and Michael Schiavo's marriage really like? What happened the day Terri collapsed? What did Michael Schiavo do when he discovered Terri unconscious? How long did he wait before calling 911? What do medical records show about her condition when she was first admitted to the hospital? What will the autopsy say? The legal issues and ethical questions provoked by Terri Schiavo's extraordinary case may never be resolved. But the facts about her marriage, her condition when she collapsed, and her eventual death fifteen years later can be determined. With Silent Witness, Fuhrman goes beyond the legal aspects of the case and delves into the broader, human background of Terri Schiavo's short, sad life. Mark Fuhrman is a retired LAPD detective. He is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Murder in Brentwood and Murder in Greenwich, as well as Murder in Spokane and Death and Justice. He lives in Idaho.

Now former LAPD homicide detective and New York Times bestselling author Mark Furhman investigates to find out what really happened. Yea, sure. As a police officer, the guy botched the OJ case so bad he got OJ off scott free. Unemployable, even as a security guard, he turned to writing. The case is difficult because there are many possible causes to attacks like Schiavo's. It isn't just dieting. A number of medical conditions ranging from hypoglycemia to acute allerty attacks can cause severe brain damage. What few know, is that her husband took her all over trying to get diagnoses and treatment to no avail, sued the place she was cared for because she was not taken care well enough for her, etc. And for his having a girl friend, news is that Terry's parents told him to start dating years ago, when they didn't believe she could ever recover. They were worried that HE was obsessing over her! Why the change in heart? Don't know. I guess you get use to something and think it is ok. I remember the assisted learning deals where those holding the hands of brain damaged people eventualy started writing messages, sometimes about abuse that couldn't have happened, or about other things. It's like a Ouija board; our brains are designed to find patterns out of nothing buty random movements, and then our expectations start taking over. But in the large, people under stress, especially like the Schiavo parents, are easy to twist into doing things they would not otherwise think about doing. Who would do that? Any reporter after a juicy story! And it certainly became one! Tie in a few pro-life characters, add the right kind of photos, and you have the lady messia looking at the crowds binking out secret / sacred messages in code. Just like the massive anti-war protests at the old university, shown on all channels across the state. Yea, sure. Under two dozen poorly clad people representing a university of thousands of students who wanted to learn, most of whom DID NOT CARE about the war, and many of whom saw the war as a good deed done to help a weak nation. The press in America makes the news. -javilk- mall-net.com ------------------- IMAGINEERING -------------------- --------------- Every click, a vote. ---------------- ----- Do people vote for, or against your pages? ---- -- What people want: http://www.SitePsych.com/free -- ----------------------------------------------------- Another Javilk (tm) brand post.

OH, OH, OH, Clyde, When I first read your post I got this uneasy feeling that somewhere down the past road of my life, I had somehow come across something , somewhere, relating to Eugenics on the west coast. After my second cup of coffee and an extra couple of hits on the nicotine inhaler, my brain cells finally began to operate. Starts off with good old Readers Digest. My grandparents collected them and brought them to their summer camp for light reading. No T.V. just a radio, this was camp, summer too short to waste one minute sitting in front of anything doing nothing. I think the camp was built in the mid 30ies, this was the mid part of the 60ies, so the collection of digests filled one wall. As an only child I had hours of time by myself to swim, hike the woods and read. For some reason there were stories in the digests that made such an impression on me as a kid that I recall them today. The story I remember told of the WW2 camps in California for the Japanese American born. I believe the Governor of Idaho wanted to castrate all Japanese boys at birth. ( Thank the Lord that goof-ball was over ruled ). Then there was the ocean liner filled to the gunnels with year old to 12 year old children, Jew by birth, that had escaped Germanys death camps. Our United States PTA put so much pressure on the government , something about there not being enough room for the extra kids here in public schools that we refused to allow it to dock . I don't think any other country let them dock either. I can't remember what happened to the kids, but when I remember this story, I imagine the ship, floating about with no where to go, crowed with Jewish babies and its Xmas Eve, all around the world good Christians are celebrating the birth of the King of the Jews. I ask, How did the world explain this or justify these actions to themselves. Clyde, I know how you feel about the sickness of the world today. However, when I look at the goings on just a generation from me, How people could have allowed and believed in committing these acts of depravity, If I were to dwell on the subject I would run amuck, trying to beat up every old person I came in contact with. I found this on a web site and frankly don't know if I can believe it. .>,... Even the U.S. Supreme Court endorsed aspects of eugenics. In its infamous 1927 >decision, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, "It is better for all the world, .>if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their >imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind . . . >Three generations of imbeciles are enough." This decision opened the floodgates for >thousands to be coercively sterilized or otherwise persecuted as subhuman. Years later, >the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials quoted Holmes' words in their own defense. _http://illuminati-news.com/nazi-california.htm_ (http://illuminati-news.com/nazi-california.htm) In answer to your question Clyde, You bet the farm on this one. How can you not believe somewhere in the tangled web of any ones government, there are no followers of eugenics? Read the paper Clyde, can you find even one country in Africa, Europe, or Asia that is not somehow involved with Ethnic cleansing to some degree. Even good old Denmark is endorsing the little black pill for their people who cannot function to the standards set by the government. ie------ the elderly, the brain damaged, those who they believe have lost their "Quality of Life " , and those who they believe will never gain it. If you think this idea will never again rear its ugly head here in the USA again, look out, it is right in front of your face, Terry Schriveo, Accused of nothing more then breathing on her own and being alive much to the discomfort of her husband. Henry VIII said it best " Off with her head", So Terry was subjected to a death that is denounced every where on earth in every culture. She was sentenced to death by starvation. Do I worry about this, HELL YES I do. Time goes so fast, won't be long before I, if I don't die of accident or disease, will need help with every day things like walking, bathing, and dressing. I will need some one to prepare my meals, perhaps drive my care to the store to do my shopping. Only by chance and luck every moment of every day keep me and you living a "Quality Life".

Hogwash. Intersting though how we have enough crazies that something like this stirs them up. It is hard to get military types, most people, to kill civilians. As I put it in another post to another list: Milgram's authority experiments were done on a one session basis. One may speculate that most would not do it a second time, much less return to follow such orders a second day. Although longer term experiments have not been run; military experience is that _most_ soldiers will not fire on civilians, and even some of the most hardened soldiers can not stomach killing more than so many enemy. Case in point were German soldiers operating machine guns on the Eastern Front. When the pile of dead Russians reached some point, most of them would pick up their tools and just abandon the machine gun emplacement because they could not stand it anymore. Even Gestapo troops, assigned to round up and shoot Jews and other [so-called] deviants, could only take so much without developing serious mental problems rendering them unfit for duty, leading to the creation of the "work" (death) camps which were staffed by the few who could stomach it. And more recently in 1991, the Speznadz troops (shock troops, the nastiest kind) assigned to shoot civilians including Yeltsin in Moscow, refused to do so having gotten a taste of that kind of blood at the Radio TV tower in Vilnius, Lithuania in January 1991. > I don't actually believe that statement though. I disagree with the > PATRIOT Act, and many of the policies implemented since 911. I > certainly don't believe that 911 was a plot to take over the world. The patriot act, many believe, went way too far. We are in the troughs of change... the damned thing is, many of our elected polychickens don't quite grasp the fact that we, the people, own the government, not the other way around. And they don't recognize that if we, the people of the United States of America are treated like owners AT ALL LEVELS, then we really don't need as much police, surveillance, etc. as they expect. But we, the people, need to be encouraged to assert our ownership, accept our responsibilities, etc. to watch for and notify our various departments of protection and police when things appear amiss. And that includes the little point that things will be mis-reported more often than called right. I remember in the 1950's one of the Popular Science or Mechanics magazines had people wandering around with suitcases filled with rocks staging fake settings of suitcase nuclear weapons on The George Washington Bridge and other places to see just how long those things could be left before someone turned them in. They would take taxis to those places, leave the rock suitcase, and drive off in the taxi with NO ALARMS SET OFF! Some of those suitcases sat there for half a day or longer. That's not good citizen responsibility. The police, however, seemed more irritated that these were done, than over the implications. Wrong reaction!!! I don't think we've improved much beyond then, sad to say. Flight instructors training the 911 gang made comments to the FAA which were ignored. The FAA didn't see it as their responsibility, nor the responsibility of the instructors. Personally, I think that we mad scientists are a greater potential threat to civilization as we know it than the luddite muddy hind ends who brought us 911. We, far more than anyone else, have the intelligence to destroy this nation, or to improve it well beyond what we have now. And I hope, the moral sense to do the latter rather than the former. As a minister, I have to say that The Creator has an incredible amount of faith in us; for we have been given minds which can grasp means of destroying millions of years of evolutionary progress. Or advancing it. I suggest we meditate upon that faith in us tonight. And often. -J- (Javilk@best.com) ------------------------ www.mall-net.com/javilk/ Reincarnation: It's just one danged life after another!

Population control is interesting. are we looking at shrinking the population of the world ? War will take care of that. On the other hand, China has such a huge army, perhaps we Americans should work like rabbits, breed like crazy to insure future cannon fodder.

Disease is too complex to worry about. Even if you can stay healthy by avoiding people and their germs, your own DNA will get you in the end. Famine is no joke but there are some things just as important as food. Three months after I moved to Honolulu there was a 6 month shipping strike. Prices of everything went kind of crazy for a while. I never worried about how I was going to feed my family, my biggest worry was there would come a time when we could not get toilet paper. If people would use their heads we would not have to worry about feeding or clothing the millions that live in the cities of America. In emergency, these people have all the food they need to survive and its everywhere. Pigeon makes tasty eating. Have you any idea how much nutrition there is in ground cocker roaches? My favorite is the plump German Rats. Catch a few and raise them for food, their pelts make wonderful coats, water proof and wears like armor. Best idea yet, move to Salt Lake City, wont be long before you give up your evil ways. You will then store , under the beds, a years supply of food per person in your family. When that food runs out, then you eat the family dog. Don't worry Clyde, nothing any of us can do about the above, except to watch the adds for K-Mart when toilet paper is on sale, stock up, you never know.

This is questionable, as dust mites need skin to live on. they are more often found in your bed and in the carpet. > I am suffering athsma like symptoms with > panic attack symptoms because of of it. This is quite possible, indeed quite likely. The question then is where is the dust accumulating, and how to clean it up. Bedclothes -- wash weekly bed pad -- wash weekly bed matress -- a problem. Plastic bagging can help carpets -- vacuum every few days use HEPA filter bags Or get rid of carpets completely! Stacks of books, etc. -- vaccum, remove as much as possible from bedroom to other places Shelving -- vacuum with brush weekly Meticulous cleaning (should not be a problem with your personality as opposed to mine) can and should considerably help your allergic symptoms AND the resulting blood and brain chemistry upsets which give you so much trouble. I am not a meticulous person... I clean when I notice performance hits. Stuff accumulates in piles. etc. This is not good for me... -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

But the forces of that loop would rush through the channel you created; so more than likelym, you would be instantly plasmatized (nevermind merely vaporized) should you try to step into that channel. So for now, I think time travel unlikely. -J- (C) 2005, javilk@mall-net.com ------------------ www.mall-net.com/javilk --- Laugh at yourself, Our Creator loves company -- and You! --------------- --- After all, we wouldn't want our Creator to cancel the show, would we? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another Javilk (tm) brand post.

This misguided change to U.S. policy would lead to unnecessary shipments of nuclear weapons-usable materials abroad--a magnet for terrorists seeking to acquire nuclear bombs. Contact your senators today and urge them to ensure our security by stripping this language from the Energy Bill. Read the Letter: Dear Senator, I am writing to strongly urge you to support Senator Schumer and Kyl?s amendments to remove language from the Energy Bill, S 10, that allows foreign nuclear reactors to receive highly enriched uranium (HEU) from the U.S. without committing to convert to the use of low enriched uranium (LEU) targets. This conversion is essential because LEU, unlike HEU, cannot be used directly in nuclear weapons. The offending provision in the Energy bill would allow unnecessary shipments of nuclear weapons-usable materials to continue forever--an on-going magnet for terrorists seeking to acquire nuclear bombs. Currently, such a commitment is required under the Section 134 of the Atomic Energy Act. The proposed change in U.S. non-proliferation policy has been designed to benefit a single foreign company--MDS Nordion of Canada. A major goal of U.S. non-proliferation policy--phasing out the commercial use of HEU in research reactors worldwide--would be undermined because a single foreign company, heavily subsidized by the Canadian government, does not want to go to the expense of converting its program so that it no longer needs U.S. HEU. Catering to this special interest is both outrageous and detrimental to U.S. national security interests. Please vote to support the Schumer and Kyl amendments to the Energy Bill and thereby assure that commercial use of nuclear weapons fuel will be phased out so it does not fall into the hands of terrorists. Your leadership in this issue is a matter of global security.

The Whole Story The Senate Energy Bill, S.10, contains a controversial and misguided change to U.S. non-proliferation and security law that would allow foreign nuclear reactors to receive highly enriched uranium (HEU) from the U.S. without committing to convert, when feasible, to the use of low enriched uranium (LEU) targets.

Just wait until the Thought Police try to enforce sanity! "Gee Officer, I only had two thinks! I wasn't driving thunk!" But the real question is: Are our leaders immune from prosecution for insane thinking? HAHAHAHA! ROFL, scaring the cats! Thanks, John, for me gut-busting belly laugh today! In actuality, I would be happy if we simply decriminalized sanity! Make it a simple infraction, or misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and court costs. Maybe erect Sanity Cameras at major intersections, and send photos of sane behavior, along with a bill for the fine, to all miscreants. We identify the same using implanted RFID chips. No points would be assessed against one's license to think, just pay the fine. And always remember, "No anchovies, please!" -Mike (Another random moment of sanity from Question!)

Five returned Pennsylvania National Guardsmen who supervised Saddam in jail said that the accused war criminal writes poetry, chats about women and sometimes dances alone in his cell. He gets Cuban cigars in Red Cross packages from his daughters in Jordan and shares them with his captors. He once told them a joke about three men and a sheep. Convinced that he is still President, Saddam invited the soldiers to visit Iraq once he is acquitted and back in power, they told GQ magazine with permission from the US military. "I'll show you all around my country; you are like sons to me," he said. "It's not beautiful now, but it will be when I'm back in charge."

This would mean that Cosmos 1 is lost. While it is likely that this conclusion is correct, there are some inconsistent indications from information received from other sources. The Cosmos 1 team observed what appear to be signals, that looks like they are from the spacecraft when it was over the first three ground stations and some Doppler data over one of these stations. This might indicate that Cosmos 1 made it into orbit, but probably a lower one than intended. The project team now considers this to be a very small probability. But because there is a slim chance that it might be so, efforts to contact and track the spacecraft continue. We are working with US Strategic Command to provide additional information in a day or so. If the spacecraft made it to orbit, its autonomous program might be working, and after 4 days the sails could automatically deploy. While the chances of this are very, very small, we still encourage optical observers to see if the sail can be seen after that time. We await further developments and information coming out of Russia, STRATCOM, and the tracking stations. Frank F. Moore Project Scientist Poco Graphite, Inc. 300 Old Greenwood Rd.

Message-ID: <003201c578d7$67e1f310$6401a8c0@mikey> MIT physicists create new form of matter June 22, 2005 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. Their work, to be reported in the June 23 issue of Nature, is closely related to the superconductivity of electrons in metals. Observations of superfluids may help solve lingering questions about high-temperature superconductivity, which has widespread applications for magnets, sensors and energy-efficient transport of electricity, said Wolfgang Ketterle, a Nobel laureate who heads the MIT group and who is the John D. MacArthur Professor of Physics as well as a principal investigator in MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics.

(Shudder) I like the way you said "appears". We do need to know if it is, before we call out the demolition squad. How old is the house? If recent, say last twenty or thirty years, then it is not likely to be asbestos. If more than fifty, much more likely. How long have you lived in that house? When was the last time you had a professional air vent cleaning company clean up the air ducts. More recently, fiberglass has been used. This is not good either... but nowhere near as bad. Also, asbestos is not that bad if it is not disturbed, if you are getting enough calcium to calcify the particles in your lungs, and most important, if you don't smoke. It's not good, mind you! But you are not instantly doomed if you are not an active smoker. Of course, I should ask why you believe it is asbestos. I can't see what you are looking at, have not analyzed it under a polarized light microscope, etc. And am a real SOB about confirming things either way, like a lot of scientists and engineers are. It might just be white dust from plaster deterioration, especially in an air intake. Or it may be many other things. If it is asbestos, and you really need to determine that for sure, then the entire house will need to be professionally remedied, as you are not going to be able to seal the asbestos yourself. The lung injury could explain some of your problems, as the number one place where the body stores vitamin C is the brain. This could also be powdery white mold, or mold on dust. That too, could trigger allergy type situations which would draw vitamin C from the brain and reduce it's performance. We need to know what it is. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do. Nothing in this document should be construed as medical advice.

This is an intake, sucking air out of the room. HEPA filters on the outlet in the house would certainly help, but would reduce air flow; though less than bubbling through water. In any event, the quantity of air typically moved through a duct while the fan is working, would be a bit much for a simple system like this.

Ozone can cause serious lung injury if used over a long period of time. (several days to weeks.) Those of us with allergies run across this kind of trouble fairly often. There are a number of filtering devices available retail. I have build my own, http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/air.html . I don't run it here, but did run it in other places.

I remember they showed up at my door because I was wearing a gas mask due to the crap in the air. I said Allergies, and they understood. That time. I've also had others point guns at me, not quite sure what they discovered. When they saw my white shirt and neat diagonally striped tie, they just about panicked, Said "that's ok, that's ok", backed out of there, turneed their car around in a spot with just a few inches to spare, and got out of there. Molloy was right about that white shirt and tie! Best weapon I've ever owned! -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

(Shudder) I like the way you said "appears". We do need to know if it is, before we call out the demolition squad. THIN, FIBROUS, 'DARK' BROWN LINING MATERIAL. How old is the house? BUILT IN 1975. If recent, say last twenty or thirty years, then it is not likely to be asbestos. If more than fifty, much more likely. How long have you lived in that house? 29 YEARS; THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1975. FROM STORIES THAT I HEARD IN THE PAST, HOMES MANUFACTURED BACK THEN USED ASBESTOS. When was the last time you had a professional air vent cleaning company clean up the air ducts. NOT ANY TIME THAT I CAN REMEMBER; THE HOUSE IS MY MOTHER AND FATHER'S HOUSE; MY DAD DIED IN 99' AND MY MOTHER CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE DUCTS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED, AS THE PRICE IS APPROXIMATELY $300.000 AND TOO EXPENSIVE FOR HER TO AFFORD. More recently, fiberglass has been used. This is not good either... but nowhere near as bad. YEAH, BUT THE MATERIAL THAT LINES THE AIR INTAKE IS DEFINATELY NOT FIBERGLASS, WELL I MIGHT BE WRONG; HELL, IT COULD BE THIN FIBERGLASS LINING, FOR WHAT LITTLE THAT I KNOW ABOUT THAT STUFF. Also, asbestos is not that bad if it is not disturbed, if you are getting enough calcium to calcify the particles in your lungs, and most important, if you don't smoke. It's not good, mind you! But you are not instantly doomed if you are not an active smoker. ACTUALLY, I'M NOT GETTING A LOT OF CALCIUM, AND I NEED TO UP MY CALCIUM INTAKE. I AM FOR CERTAIN, HAVING CARDIOVASCULAR TROUBLES; AND I DON'T SMOKE. Of course, I should ask why you believe it is asbestos. I can't see what you are looking at, have not analyzed it under a polarized light microscope, etc. And am a real SOB about confirming things either way, like a lot of scientists and engineers are. It might just be white dust from plaster deterioration, especially in an air intake. Or it may be many other things. THE DUST THAT COLLECTS ON MY ELECTRONICS IS WHITE, MIXED WITH LINT. IT MAY HAVE MANY MORE CONTENTS THAN THOSE TWO, THOUGH. THE APPEARANCE MAKES IT LOOK LIKE PULVERIZED CONCRETE DUST, AND WHEN IT IS RUBBED FROM PLACES WHERE IT COLLECTS, IS MORE LIKE LINT, FROM MANY MANY YEARS OF WASHED AND DRIED CLOTHES. If it is asbestos, and you really need to determine that for sure, then the entire house will need to be professionally remedied, as you are not going to be able to seal the asbestos yourself.

If naked eye, almost certainly fiberglass. If microscope, the low power sounds more like fiberglass; but I can't really say. Most of the photographs I saw were of white fibers. I'd like to put those fibers between polariod filters in a microscope to see if they were reasonably safe melts, or mineral fibers which would twist light to show rainbow colors. > How old is the house? > BUILT IN 1975. That would be the edge of asbestos use, I think... Looks like I was mistaken. Although use of asbestos peaked by 1973 and started falling, some was still used in wall materials and celing tiles till about 1978. > 29 YEARS; THE HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1975. > FROM STORIES THAT I HEARD IN THE PAST, HOMES MANUFACTURED > BACK THEN USED ASBESTOS.

Tan-yellow or slightly pinkish is fiberglass. I saw it in the ducts of a house I rented in Florida back in 1977 - 1978.

Cardiovascular symptoms can also be driven by pulmonary problems, problems with the lungs. Not saying that is the cause; and some of the doctors should have noticed and said something if it was. (Not that they always get things...) > Of course, I should ask why you believe it is asbestos. I can't > THE DUST THAT COLLECTS ON MY ELECTRONICS IS WHITE, MIXED WITH > LINT. Yes. And you don't have a good 500 - 1000 power microscope to check it under. Any schools, former science teachers, etc. you can go to?

Does not sound too good... If it were brown, we could more readily dismiss it as just dust of the earth, like we have in farm country. But the cement plant you mentioned does have some relevance. And they do burn all kinds of crap in the furnaces, everything from old paint to motor oils, almost anything that burns that they can get on the cheap and get away with burning. > This could also be powdery white mold, or mold on dust.

Right! Most people object to post nasal drip; but it's there for a reason. > I HOPE I'VE GIVEN ENOUGH INFO HERE SO THAT YOU ALL CAN DETERMINE > WHAT IT IS. Not really; but I think we can rule out a lot of stuff that we really didn't want to rule out. > I'LL HAVE TO WAIT TO RESPOND BACK TO YOU ALL ON MONDAY, > SINCE I AM AT THE LIBRARY COMPUTER, AND MY TIME IS SHORT. Understood. Best of luck... See if you can chase down some high school science teacher or university professor. If you've lived there most of your life, a couple more weeks isn't going to make that much difference. Getting a science teacher involved will work better in the short run than getting the feds involved and having your home condemned as a toxic waste site. At least, not till you've figured out who'll pay for the remediation and/or alternative housing. Or you could just redouble your efforts to find work in Boulder Colorado or some other place and run away from the problems to face new problems. New problems are always so much more refreshing than the old ones we've all convince ourselves are insoluble. In industry, if someone hasn't solved the problems in six monts, he's probably not going to solve them, and has to be rotated out of the problem area to get a fresh pair of eyes and mind to look at it. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

In-Reply-To: <20050625204711.41522.qmail@web50613.mail.yahoo.com> from "clyde lofton" at Jun 25, 2005 01:47:11 PM Message-ID: <20050626163135.69507.qmail@mall-net.com> I'm reading an interesting book "Medical Mavericks" Volume 3, by Dr. Hugh Desaix Riordan, M.D. These are essentially mad scientists in medicine, where having the quintessential mad scientist experience is apparently rather easy. Although I'm going to concentrate on one article in the book for Clyde, there is another article on intelligence that the rest of us may find interesting. Clyde, you are in a library now, yes? I think you might find the book very interesting! See if you can get it via inter-library loan. Dr. Hoffer (page 69+) makes an interesting observation. The breakdown products of adrenaline, the adrenochromes, have effects similar to those of mescaline -- the generation of schizoidal symptoms in a healthy human brain. (page 73 & 74) What do you keep mentioning, Clyde? Adrenaline and anger? I should point out that in any repeated physical injury, even if the injury is so diffuse or internal as to be difficult to detect, there is strong production of adrenaline. In many individuals this will continue till the adrenals are exhausted. It may take weeks or years before this happens. It took three years in my case before the adrenals ran out of steam, and I started having problems with stamina, etc. (My trigger was eating a supplementary yeast product, which was triggering a sub-acute allergy process. I was, in effect, addicted to the adrenal surge from eating this yeast powder. When I stopped taking it, I went through withdrawal, three weeks of the darkest depression I'd ever experienced! And with that, the allergy is clear -- I react very badly to yeast products, getting a huge surge of adrenaline followed a few hours later by paralytic Parkinson's-like collapse.) Dr., Hoffer also notes that in the 1940's, when he got both a Ph.D. and an M.D., that the study of psychiatry required a lot of rigorous scientific thought; whereas the study of medicine discouraged thought completely. Medicine, it appears, knows everything and all doctors need do, is memorize what to do when. In contrast Psychiatry, at least in the 40's, was struggling with the unknown, particularly the plague of schizophrenia, which took up half the beds in mental hospitals. (And now, most of the beds in homeless shelters.) Dr. Hoffer, then an Associate Professor and the Director of Psychiatric Research for the Department of Public Health in Saskatchewan, Canada, found that megadose therapy with niacin and vitamin C when maintained over time, cured a high percentage of schizoidal patients. The niacin retards the conversion of noradrenaline into adrenaline, and the vitamin C reduces the oxidation of adrenaline to adrenochromes. This double barreled approach reduces the levels of adrenochromes and thus reduces mental symptoms in some types of schizophrenia. For this, he was ridiculed and essentially barred from publishing in most psychiatric journals. Medical journals accept a LOT of advertising from drug companies. And has I found in the 1990's, belonging to several mailing lists which soon attracted drug company advertising; when they hear the word vitamin, they act very quickly to get rid of the person speaking favorably of vitamins. I and others like me were first censored, then strongly admonishments from the list manager that we were upsetting his sponsors, which would cost him revenues. When we still didn't stop, we were thrown off one by one. Dr. Hoffer then resigned from his posts and went on to establish a successful private practice treating over 5,000 schizoidal patients with about a 90% cure rate when treatments continued over two years. (I assume those whom vitamins didn't help left the program, and were thus not counted.) Dr. Hoffer founded the Journal of Orthomolecular Psychiatry, which I had mentioned earlier; It was first called the Journal of Schizophrenia, and is now called the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine. See also http://www.orthomolecular.org/ . My doctor, Dr. Cathcart, has published in that journal over the years. His URL is http://www.orthomolecular.com/ and I have several of his papers at http://www.mall-net.com/cathcart/ ) Get the book. "Medical Mavericks" Volume 3, by Riordan. Published by Bio-Communications Press, Wichita, Kansas. Or order it from Wholesale Nutrition, 1-800-FALCONI (Monday through Saturday) http://www.nutri.com/ . You'll have to ask for the book specifically as it is not yet in their price list. I got my copy as a bonus for helping put some videos on Dr. Kalokerinos and vitamin C on the web. If anyone wants to see them, e-mail me off list as I have a few free viewing "tickets" available. (The site is bandwidth limited, so we are restricting access.) Although I don't make any money recommending the book, Wholesale Nutrition has been a client of mine for 14 years. I've been buying products from them for 23 years, starting with their mention in Pierson and Shaw's "Life Extension" book series. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

Oh yes, one more thing. You're an American Citizen. Every Father's Day, I thank my father for the greatest gift he gave me, my American Citizenship. Because our family knows that life without freedom isn't worth living. My father fought in the underground in Europe in World War II. He hooked up with the Allies and chose to come to America, because in the whole world, America is "the shining city on the hill", the bastion of freedom where a man can do the most with his God given and self made talents. With tears in my eyes, I write that that is the greatest gift he gave me; greater even than life itself. Millions of people around the world beg for that gift. Millions more have risked their lives to come to America, and are hiding behind forged papers and sham lives trying to hang onto slivers of that gift. (For when a man fears being noticed, he will not become what he can become.) But as Robert said, look at it another way. Well, here's my way of looking at it. America is a nation where the citizens don't need to live sham lives, pretending to be what they are not, as they do in China, in Russia, in almost every other nation, not just the totalitarian ones, of which there are far, far too many. Could we use moral revival? Yes. But it won't come from a preacher in the presidency. We tried that already. Jimmy the peanut was a preacher. He gave us stagflation. He nearly lost the cold war by kissing up to Brezhniev of the USSR. Reagan didn't preach moral revival, he simply stood as a moral man, letting others see an example of decency and morality. He expected decent and moral behavior from the people in this nation, and by and large, he got it! When you look at other lands, you see there is far more thievery than here in America. Why? Because people in so many other lands believe that theft is the only way THEY can get things. We in America see that we can make, can earn, can get almost anything we want if we but work a little harder, a little smarter. For me, the defining moment of America was the Loma Prieta earthquake. A double decker roadway called The Cypress Structure crossed the poorest of the poor neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay area. Some of the wealthiest people in the Bay drove over that roadway from the rich suburbs in the mountains surrounding the bay. When the quake hit, this structure collapsed, pining people in their BMW'd and Mercedes under tons of unstable concrete. The poorest of the poor came out of their homes, risked their lives to save Fellow Human Beings. In most other nations, there would be looting and murder, class warfare. In America, we are all one people; we help each other. That is my America. Because of decisions I've made and accidents which befell me, I am poorer than you are, Clyde. I can't take a hot shower whenever I want. Yet I still believe. My soul knows that I will find another way to live better. And if not in this life, then in the next. My soul also knows that the only way to live better, is to help others so that we may all live better. (And charge something for that help.) I am an Amer-I-Can. That is the greatest thing that I know. And the rest is up to me. I Can and will do it because I am an Amer-I-Can! -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

The question I still have wandering around in me head is whose ethics? Maybe it's being a lapsed (escaped) christian, but I am always looking out for creeping religionism. I would bet that most of us here would agree that free speech (with perhaps an education on the consequences of speech [1]), fair dealings, and maybe equality of opportunity (not full economic equity... work for that beemer!) are all values to teach children. I would posit that perhaps helping out others, two-way loyalty (loyalty is a two way street, otherwise it's slavery), a diversity are good things to teach. therein lies the problem. who gets to choose which values to teach? I respect somebody's right to go to church, I just choose to not attend church. I respect two people (or three, or four, factorial 5...) deciding to get together and have "a quiet evening together." just don't ask me to attend.

BINGO!!! I've been there!!! Very shallow breathing is a sign of BLOOD PH problems!!! Can you afford a CO2 cartridge and a CO2 cartridge bicycle tire inflator. The total should cost you less than $20 if you buy the CO2 cartridges at Wall-Mart or a sporting goods store. ($10 for three CO2 cartridges at a bike shop is a ripoff! Five should cost you $4 at Big 5. A bottle of seltzer water is cheaper and has far less CO2, but might work. Holding one's breath as long as one can also helps. But neither is as good as breathing higher carbon dioxide levels for a short while. What I have done from time to time, is to squirt some of that CO2 into a paper bag. Inhale once. Just once! I start breathing deeply in under 30 seconds, notice my brain clearing in under two minutes. After two minutes, you can take another breath of it if you wish. Don't over do it, as you need the oxygen. if I breath deeply without this, I get dizzy and my coordination falls apart because my blood pH becomes too alkaline. CO2 keeps it acidic enough while simultaneously forcing one to breathe deeper and get MORE oxygen. If you breathe very shallow, you don't get enough oxygen, so the body slows down. Other systems may trigger more adrenaline trying to force one to breathe. But it takes carbon dioxide which makes the blood acidic to trigger deeper breathing. Without the oxygen, you can't produce enough carbon dioxide, without the carbon dioxide, you won't breathe deeply enough to get the oxygen. So you are locked in to shallow breathing. Or you might be doing Chaney Stokes(sp?) breathing, a bunch of shallow breaths alternating with deeper breaths. Once the carbon dioxide is there, one breathes deeply enough to get more oxygen, and soon, as one's metabolism perks up, one is generating enough carbon dioxide to maintain the deeper breathing. And with that, "the lights turn on" in one's life. By the way, carbon dioxide therapy was one way they improved the mental condition of patients in the late 1800's or early 1900's. It has limitations, and won't work anymore if the person is put in a high CO2 environment for too long. But occasional breaths of CO2 can do wonders to restart respiration. I use it occasionally, maybe once or twice a week. It made quite a difference. And do get the B vitamins, particularly niacin. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

Ethics Message-ID: <99E207AC8BBAC24389B2640E9F3C9747DD76AC@pzisexch.poco.com> Hi Bob, As one who was raised a very strict Catholic, but also eschewed Christianity as I become more involved with Science as a teenager... I appreciate your concerns regarding "Creeping Regilionism". Living in Texas, as I do now, I see it every day in the battles for control of local School Boards... and the insistence by many fundamentalists to introduce the farcical concept of "Intelligent Design" into the classrooms, as a counter to Evolution. But as regards Ethics... I'm partial to what many people call "Secular Humanism". I believe that most of the Ethical concepts therein can be found in the teachings and writings of the great philosophers of Western Civilization. Commencing with the Founders... Socrates; Plato; Aristotle... progressing through Erasmus (granted, that he was also a Theologian), Descartes; Rousseau... and on to Kant; Locke and a few contemporaries whose names escape me at the moment (I need more coffee). Now I will admit that this list is "Western" biases, but I've not taken much time to explore "Eastern" philosophies very deeply. Although, Ethical principles are also espoused by Siddhartha Gautama; Lou-Tze; and other Eastern philosophers. And I would not preclude them from incorporation into a more Universal curriculum. As you pointed out with your examples... Most of the core principles of Ethics are at face, quite simple. However... Their practice... and perhaps more fundamentally... The societal rationale for embracing them... can probably seem very alien to those who were not raised with them. The state of the World today, and the behavior of a great number of people, indicate that they were never imbued with these concepts... or for some reason, later rejected them. Frank F.

Ethics Moore, Frank, I would agree with you that some sort of ethics class would be a good idea. The question I still have wandering around in me head is whose ethics? Maybe it's being a lapsed (escaped) christian, but I am always looking out for creeping religionism. I would bet that most of us here would agree that free speech (with perhaps an education on the consequences of speech [1]), fair dealings, and maybe equality of opportunity (not full economic equity... work for that beemer!) are all values to teach children. I would posit that perhaps helping out others, two-way loyalty (loyalty is a two way street, otherwise it's slavery), a diversity are good things to teach. therein lies the problem. who gets to choose which values to teach? I respect somebody's right to go to church, I just choose to not attend church. I respect two people (or three, or four, factorial 5...) deciding to get together and have "a quiet evening together." just don't ask me to attend.

It can be frustratingly difficult to hold to one's principles, when the gains made by unscrupulous, unethical, people are glaringly obvious. And then to see these same people so often admired, only adds to the insult. One needs to find a personal, esoteric, satisfaction in the practice and exercise of ethical principles. This is very easy for me to say, as I'm and old bachelor. I don't encounter the tribulations of family life. And I must say that, while not exactly anti-social... I do have strong reclusive tendencies at times. Anyway...

The real problem is the creeps in religion, not the creep of religion. The nice thing about catholicism, is that there is a larger hierarchy to filter out the creeps than in paganism.

And then there's the problem/question of Yes indeed! But they teach religion and ethics from the wrong perspective. Religion is but a license to lie "so as to tell the greater truth." You steel this apple, and God Knows! Bad things will happen! As in, "Ask for a sign"; the oldest con in the book. Vs the "midnight knock on the door." You steal this apple, and you will always be afraid someone will retaliate. When evil befalls you, you will wonder if it was because of that apple. And with that, your judgement will be clouded with fear, and will not pursue good things, like flagging down a farm truck for a ride, for fear of being pushed off them for your theft of the apple. > social control.

So? Social evolution. They followed a set of principles which enabled them to reach power. They will tend to favor those principles, and if not too draconian, those who use them. Simulations show that "do unto others", though slow to start, wins in the end.

Would that were so!!! Arthur Clarke was wrong when he spoke of witchcraft and technology. You can tell technology because the principles of any technology are rapidly reflected throughout the civilization. I mean, we computer folks were witches in the 70's.

Intelligent design... Ooo boy... Tell me, why do we have appendixes? Why do we have to have our tonsils removed? Why do we grow bald? And the clincher, damnation for sure, If priests are the favorite of God, why do priests live no longer than most people? If Pope john Paul was such a wonderful character and did so much for this world, why did he end up with Parkinson's, and why did he die? Same for Mother Teresa.

Only through Ethical dealings... either individually or though governmental interactions... can we hope to achieve a peace and prosperity that will ensure continuance and perhaps allow us to move beyond this planet. I don't deny anyone their belief in a God... and I'm not quite an Atheist.

The real problem is the creeps in religion, not the creep of religion. The nice thing about catholicism, is that there is a larger hierarchy to filter out the creeps than in paganism. ("Hey, babe, you're poifict for The Great Rite!") WITHOUT GETTING INTO CONSPIRACY THEORY SHIT, I JUST RAISE THE QUESTION: COULD THERE BE LINKS BETWEEN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, THE MAFIA, FREEMASONRY, THE KU KLUX KLAN, COMMUNIST RUSSIA, AND J.F.K.'S ASSASINATION? > eyes ofthe non-hypocrite. telling a jobless person not > to steal, when some of the people casting the > judgement steal in a legal manner, has got to put some > tarnish on the ethical system in the eyes of the non > hypocrite. And then there's the problem/question of Yes indeed! HERESY IS THE OUTCOME OF HYPOCRISY. But they teach religion and ethics from the wrong perspective. Religion is but a license to lie "so as to tell the greater truth." You steel this apple, and God Knows! Bad things will happen! As in, "Ask for a sign"; the oldest con in the book. Vs the "midnight knock on the door." You steal this apple, and you will always be afraid someone will retaliate. When evil befalls you, you will wonder if it was because of that apple. And with that, your judgement will be clouded with fear, and will not pursue good things, like flagging down a farm truck for a ride, for fear of being pushed off them for your theft of the apple. > social control.

So? Social evolution. They followed a set of principles which enabled them to reach power. They will tend to favor those principles, and if not too draconian, those who use them.

Well, many of those people did attend the church... But plotting and planning... far less likely. Though there were rumors and some investigation regarding some odd ties between the mafia and the Catholic Church's financial division. As to the KKK, I thought they were against the Catholics. Oswald was shopping around for support for his "project". He may well have approached the communists and the KKK; but any reasonable sized hierarchy is going to have enough people who realize that it is suicidal to have ties with someone capable of carrying out such a project. Whether the man is caught or not, the heat is going to be on for ANY ORGANIZATION even remotely suspect of supporting the perpetrator or opposing the victim. Such organizations be at risk of very serious investigation; disrupting everyone and publicizing many links that people really don't want made public. With or without an investigation, the larger effect would be from the huge tide of public opinion rising against them. Organizations like the KKK, Communists, even the church are dependent upon contributions and recruitment of new blood, QUALITY new blood. As public opinion rises against an organization, people don't want to be found out to be supporting the organization. This is especially true for those who are in retail or public office, and so rely on the opinions of the average person. One of the rules the SBA teaches in their small business management classes, is that in retail, showing favoritism for politics or religion turns away more people than it draws. Also, the quality of the recruits drops substantially. Only the more defiant, the hotter heads, and those who have been marginalized will seek membership because they have little to nothing to lose. Indeed, most of them hope to find opportunities and support in a group which themselves needs more support. So the bottom line is that larger groups tend to be less likely to engage in activities substantially and noticeably contrary to the general beliefs of the society they are a part of. With that, you look to small cliques having more radical views, as well as covert support from other nations hoping to gain from general unrest and a disruption of the orderly process of government. In the JFK/Oswald case, the KGB is slightly suspect; though such blatant ties back to the USSR (visits, wife, etc.) make support highly unlikely. Far more likely, would be the Martin Luther King/Galt case, where they would hope that resulting riots, etc. would substantially disrupt the USA. And there is some circumstantial evidence based upon the nature of tradecraft to suggest such a link. Also some evidence that the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul was gently pushed by the KGB, more in the lines of finding a crazy whom they could anonymously suggest things to. But again, hard links are very hard to find.

Message-ID: <000c01c57c30$d4af2650$6401a8c0@mikey> In the past week, not only did the Supreme Court invalidate the last clause of Amendment V by speciously extending the doctrine of "eminent domain" to include Government seizure of private property for tertiary public benefit, e.g. "increasing the tax base by private investment," they ALSO did the following: Invalidated the second clause of Amendment I, which previously denied the Government the ability to "prohibit the free exercise of religion," by denying States the right to post the Ten Commandments in certain public places, Invalidated the third clause of Amendment I, which previously denied the Government to "abridge the Freedom of the Press" in two ways- 1) refusing to hear the arguments of two incarcerated reporters, in jail for protecting their confidential sources, and 2) enabling lawsuits against Grokster for providing a tool that has been used to violate copyright law. Invalidated the fourth clause of Amendment I, which previously denied the government the ability to abridge the freedom of Speech, by ruling that cable companies providing broadband internet access are NOT communication companies, Invalidated the Postal Roads clause of the Constitution with the same decision- the Internet was originally built for public use with public monies- now ISP's may use it for private profit. Further, an extension of the Grokster decision would mean that if I take a chef's knife made by Chicago Cutlery to murder someone, Chicago Cutlery would be responsible- as they provided the tool I used! Follow the logic- Amendment II is the NEXT to fall! The precedent was set yesterday by the Grokster decision. If the TOOL can be held liable for the crime, than ANYTHING can be illegal! Amendment II was written by our Founding Fathers as the ultimate guarantee against tyrants- this is why it is IMPERATIVE that it be eviscerated by the Court! The Grokster decision is but the next step in that process. We now live in a totalitarian, Socialist oligopoly. And all history has how us who are the FIRST to die in the ovens and concentration camps of such a regime- the intelligentsia. Our days are numbered in this country. We will soon find ourselves dragged from bed by jack-booted Nazi blackshirts, and erased. Unless we take our considerable abilities, and bring them to bear on these assaults on Liberty, we will soon be exterminated like so many cockroaches. Our top priority should be to organize a resistance movement among the sheep, before we are all led to the Schlachthaus! Now I must run from the black helicopters. -MB From javilk at mall-net.com Tue Jun 28 16:08:14 2005 From: javilk at mall-net.com (javilk@mall-net.com) Date: Tue Jun 28 16:08:17 2005 Subject: [Mad-Scientists] Supreme Court destroys Bill of Rights!

I think the government is ruling that this is neutral ground, and no one side should gain advantage. Remember, the other monument ruling says that it is ok to have a monument of the Ten Commandments as part of a larger historic related work. You want the ten commandments? You also have to display other sets of rules used by other religions, as well as the rules of secular humanism. That is fair! You want the Lord's Prayer? You also have to let other religion's prayers on other days. Those I would highly support! It shows diversity and commonality, and gets the point across that ethics IS important. > Invalidated the third clause of Amendment I, which previously denied the > Government to "abridge the Freedom of the Press" in two ways- 1) = > refusing to > hear the arguments of two incarcerated reporters, in jail for protecting > their confidential sources, and 2) enabling lawsuits against Grokster = > for providing a tool that has been used to violate copyright law. While the reporters issue is not good; the Grokster case seemed fairly clear -- the executives were vocally after music swappers who fell off Napster because Napster got taken down for clearly and specifically promoting illegal activities. As were the Grokster executives. > Invalidated the fourth clause of Amendment I, which previously denied = > the > government the ability to abridge the freedom of Speech, by ruling that > cable companies providing broadband internet access are NOT = > communication > companies, I could argue both ways. Cable companies invested a lot of PRIVATE money in their networks. To have that stolen from them would be appropriation of private property for public good. And above, you clearly said you don't want that. > Invalidated the Postal Roads clause of the Constitution with the same > decision- the Internet was originally built for public use with public > monies- now ISP's may use it for private profit. Excuse me??? The internet was build for military use with military funds. Then it was expanded, etc. for educational use. Most ISPs have private agreements with other ISPs up to those having such agreements with private carrier companies. > Further, an extension of the Grokster decision would mean that if I take = > a chef's knife made by Chicago Cutlery to murder someone, Chicago Cutlery > would be responsible- as they provided the tool I used!

Numerous gun cases suggest this is just not true. A knife's primary use is not murder, it is cutting food, leather, whatever. even though a gun's primary purpose IS death and destruction, cases against gun manufacturers have not won in court. In contrast Grokster specifically went after illegal music swappers as their primary, nearly exclusive market. Now, I don't like that ruling... but... it is a sign of the idiocity of the exploitative records industry's total lack of imagination. Let them share lousy quality copies of the music! Seed them with clips of the music! Then sell them better quality versions. > We now live in a totalitarian, Socialist oligopoly.

I am aware of something that will come close, but the chances are not that high given the size of the estimated circle of probability as it passes the earth's orbit. However, the earth was, last time they calculated it, at the center. And I don't remember where I read it. New Scientist? Meanwhile, they aro out to snare a Higgs Boson. If we can figure out how to use the Higgs field... (Current Scientific American) then we should be able to eliminate, ah, many problems like the NEO threat. Might make houses which need to be moved much more of a deal, than using current slice and haul techniques. (My Uncle bought such a house and had it put on a then vacant lot. Lived in it some 30 years.) Never could understand the economics of the spindizzy field stories; but hey, if Los Angeles wants to leave the solar system, let them. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

Some claim that looking into the future, no one can see anything beyond the year 2012. Hummmmm Don't suppose there may be something to all this stuff? We know there is a big rock headed our way sometime in the next few years. And now we have our government talking about testing rockets to blast into space rocks ( to check out their core they say) Interesting timing don't you think. The conversation you had regarding religion was kind of sad to me. I have been where you all were and at one time had the same questions and feelings. Fortunately I was raised by a closet Baha'i that led me to find as an adult the answers to questions I had as a child. My faith teaches that humanity is like the body of a dove. One wing is religion, the other is science. The Dove cannot fly without both wings, take one away and all is lost. My favorite tenet is if a family has 6 children, four of them boys. The family can only educate a couple of their children, we are taught that we must educate the two girls first. Have a safe 4th. of July, don't want to loose any of yah.

Moore Don't know where you live Frank, you can take over the whole world for all anyone cares. BUT, you better think twice before you try anything up here in New England. Think back on history, the Civil War. Know the real reason the South Lost ? I can tell you it was their woman that did them in. The Southern Bells never did a lick of work in their lives. Warm, well fed, sheltered, lots of slaves to do their bidding. Wooses, all of them. The YANKEE woman on the other hand, had no slaves, worked beside their men, in the fields and learned to hunt and shoot the local savages trying to burn them out. These woman could trap for pelts, track a deer or moose for meat. They could and did fish for food, dig for clams and oysters, collect lobsters at the low tide. In land they had a really hard time, hunter, gathering, never knowing when the indians would swoop in and kidnap their children to sell to the Canadians as servants. By the time the 1800's came about, the DNA had been set for the woman of both north and south. When generation after generation have to do for themselves, strength is built. People who struggle, the survivors become super strong. both in body and in mind. In the south, woman were property of the men. They had no self worth they never grew out of dependency on men, little girls forever. Sorry, don't know how I got off on this track. Just don't come up here to take over. You will get your ass wiped like a red headed step child. Got some mean woman up here, remember Margret Chase Smith of Maine? I could name some living woman up here but I don't think I need to. Oh Yes a thought, New York is not New England, but a close neighbor. So tell me how the hell are you going to take over Miss Hillery. I cannot believe any man can go up against a woman with BALLS. This is just America, I can think of 50 nations you will have to butt heads with female leaders, perhaps you will reconsider and decide it would be better to sell hot dogs on the street then try to take on the GENTELER SEX.

The big difference is that the AI is programmed intentionally to learn those sorts of behaviors. We don't code them directly because we don't actually know how to do it. That said, a few of Rodney Brook's robots have exhibited interesting behaviors that were not inherent in the manner in which they were developed. Witness one of his robots repeating the "toma" experiment, despite having no pre-coded logic to perform several of the cognitive tasks required to do this. When he visited here (Cornell), myself and several other graduate students went out to play frisbee.

Moore I raised mice as a kid and drove my parents nuts in the process. It all started with a sweet little mouse a friend at school gave to me. First week it kind of took to me, sat on my head and in my pocket, good pet. Dad built a tiny cage, home for Mickey, all was well. UNTIL, I came home from school to find out Mickey was a Minnie mouse with 6 of the yuckiest babies I had ever seen. Dad built a bigger cage. Couple of months later the size of the cages Dad kept building, was taking over my bedroom. These lovely little pets got really strange. They had all the food they needed, water and lots of straw to hide in. These guys got wierd, began to fight and one mom ate her babies !! I was not surprised when I came home one day to have my Mom tell me that Dad had Baptised the mice. Later on in life I saw an experiment along the lines of mice forced to live in over crowed conditions. Horrible, their behavior was almost human. Next fun experiment for me was when I had a giant ant farm built for my kids. After months of observation the kids and I began to feel like Gods. If we with held water or food, the ants reminded us of people who pray for rain, strange. To some creatures on earth, God is an 8 year old boy who may grow tired of them and allow their lives to end from neglect. From this my kids grew to believe there is no personal God, so far in life I am not sure if they have changed their minds or not as adults. Then there is the question of board lab rats.

It might fall into the lines of habituation more than outright intelligence; but they do have memories, and recollection is one way in which goals are created and processed. e.g. maze and reward. I have trained mice to do a maze. What I did not do, was to alter the maze. I bought it from a girl who used it for a science fair project, then used it in my science fair project involving the effects of astro-mouse training. What would be interesting, is to see how the mice handle repeates within a maze. And to clean the darned maze every time so as to remove scent markings. What else would be fascinating, is to create a user-perspective maze on a computer screen, and see how deeply the mice can handle using buttons to navigate virtual mazes for food and other needs. > the attic of my house.

If we examine the wild, we see that it is in fact a very hostile place full of predators and traps. Not only does the act of navigation require some level of memory and intelligence; their very lives depend upon constant threat assessments. Long ago, I would sit on a park bench in Reading, PA, while eating or studying. Nearby, was an octagonal fountain pond with an overflow box. Insects would get swept into that box. Birds would fly up to the box, hover, look around repeatedly to see if anything strange was nearby, then dive in for a quick snack. Some birds would be brave, others would take three, four, even more looks around. Others just wouldn't brave it. Clearly, they were assessing risk. My father feeds wild birds by hand. He says they are mostly chickadees. I've done it too. The birds meet up on the branch of a nearby tree, waiting for my father to come out. They seem to talk to each other as they wait. If one of them is missing, there is some concern, they chitter a while waiting for the missing one to show up before they give up and come. If one has died, as they do from time to time, their mood and chitter is subdued. They know. My father (or sometimes my mother) goes outside with seeds in the palm of his hand. He stands on the concrete by the door and holds the hand up, fingers slightly curled. One by one, the birds fly up, perch on his fingertips, look him in the eye, pick up a seed, and either crack it there, or fly back to the branch with it. Some are really brave, some are not. They each have different personalities. After they have eaten, my father brings out the scoop and fills the bird feeder. I have done this as well. The look in the eye is interesting. They clearly know what you are. If he is late, one of the birds will fly up to the kitchen window and tap on the glass to ask someone to come out. Once when I was there between projects, one of the birds flew inside our home as my mother entered after feeding them, to see what our home was like. He landed on the floor and looked about for a while, unafraid. I walked over to the door and held it open. After a short while of looking around, the bird flew back out. This kind of behavior is consistent with something Theodore Xenophon Barber wrote about regarding the lives of birds. His latest book is "The Human Nature of Birds". I am not sure if that was the book I read, or if he wrote an earlier book about bird behavior. -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do.

Nah, we just need ourselves. We need to think of ourselves as more capable, then try things, accepting that not all things will work. It'd be no fun if things all worked. How then, would we value our own efforts? Have some faith in yourself, Clyde. Our Mighty Creator has faith in you. If it did not, it would not have given you free will, and a mind strong enough to destroy others if you chose. Our creator had immense faith in all of us, that we will work together to improve our lot in life. Just look at history, how a mere two and a half thousand years ago, we had a life expectancy of only about 35 years. Ancient Greece was, in large part, populated by those in their late teens and early twenties. No running water, no electric lights, no computers. Just the blind faith that they could do things. And so they did! Some elected government, but a lot of "town meeting" type things. Rome came later, average life expectancy of perhaps 40 - 45. Slaves, some public water fountains and sewers. Circuses. Elected government. Miles of public roads. In the late 1800's, we reached a life expectancy of 50 - 55. Sanitation, public water, railroads. Today, most live to their 60's and maybe 70's. Automobiles, electricity to do most of our work, and computers to let us see what is often thousands of miles away. That's what we built, Clyde. Built because we accept the faith Our Creator has placed in us, and act accordingly. Most of it was created not as some huge invention or huge enterprise; but as small everyday things most of us do, like making bricks, drawing plans, buying food. The money turns round and round, showing people where to invest their efforts and their spare cash. -J- (Javilk@best.com) ------------------------ www.mall-net.com/javilk/ Reincarnation: It's just one danged life after another!

Nah, we just need ourselves. We need to think of ourselves as more capable, then try things, accepting that not all things will work. OK. THERE ARE OTHERS TOO, WITH OTHER OPINIONS AS WELL. It'd be no fun if things all worked. How then, would we value our own efforts? WELL YOU'RE RIGHT,,,, WE WOULDN'T VALUE OUR OWN EFFORTS IF THINGS WERE TOO EASY,,,, BUT IF THINGS ARE PERPETUALLY IMPOSSIBLE,,,, AS IS THE CASE IN THIS FOREVER HALF ASSED, FOREVER GO NOWHERE FAST, WHERE PROGRESS NEVER LASTS, INDUSTRIAL SLUM WASTELAND SHITTY OF TULSA, AND SHIT OF OKLAHOMA, THEN ALL OF THE PEOPLE WOULD BE FRUSRATED AND ANGRY ALL OF THE TIME,,,, AS IS THE CASE IN THIS GODDAMNED AND MANDAMNED SHITTY OF TULSA. Have some faith in yourself, Clyde. I DO HAVE FAITH IN MYSELF. WITH AN INFINITE # OF STUMBLING BLOCKS IN THE WAY THOUGH, OF ATTAINING A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE IN THIS CURSED CITY (SHITTY). Our Mighty Creator has faith in you. If it did not, it would not have given you free will, and a mind strong enough to destroy others if you chose. Our creator had immense faith in all of us, that we will work together to improve our lot in life. Just look at history, how a mere two and a half thousand years ago, we had a life expectancy of only about 35 years. Ancient Greece was, in large part, populated by those in their late teens and early twenties. No running water, no electric lights, no computers. Just the blind faith that they could do things. And so they did! Some elected government, but a lot of "town meeting" type things. Rome came later, average life expectancy of perhaps 40 - 45. Slaves, some public water fountains and sewers. Circuses. Elected government. Miles of public roads. In the late 1800's, we reached a life expectancy of 50 - 55. Sanitation, public water, railroads. Today, most live to their 60's and maybe 70's. Automobiles, electricity to do most of our work, and computers to let us see what is often thousands of miles away. That's what we built, Clyde. Built because we accept the faith Our Creator has placed in us, and act accordingly. Most of it was created not as some huge invention or huge enterprise; but as small everyday things most of us do, like making bricks, drawing plans, buying food. The money turns round and round, showing people where to invest their efforts and their spare cash. OK. I WILL POST THE MARKET SURVEY THAT WAS SUGGESTED FOR ME TO CREATE, FOR THE TALKING CLOCK PROJECT THAT I HAD MENTIONED IN THE PAST. I WANT TO SEE THAT PROJECT BROUGHT TO A REALITY, AND NOT JUST AS A VAIN VISION OF WHAT COULD BE. CLYDE --------------------------------- Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

Message-ID: <20050630193557.15337.qmail@web50609.mail.yahoo.com> TRITE MARKET STUDY FOR THE BLIND: Hello. My name is Clyde Lofton. I'm working toward the creation of a minimalistic, American made/American quality, talking clock unit, that will have the ability to be synchronized to the global positioning system, to maintain perfect accuracy in time keeping, for private use in homes, and for public use in broadcast facilities, and for use by owners of amateur radio repeaters. The talking clock unit is to be as minimalistic as possible, for maximum ease of use. The talking clock will have its own internal crystal oscillator, for use as a stand alone device, but will also have the simultaneous option to be used in combination with a global positioning system receiver, as a controlling device, so that the clock can be continuously updated, to the Universal Coordinated Time (U.T.C.) clock time code standard, in Fort Collins Colorado, to keep the talking clock continuously set to the correct time. To insure that the talking clock is a success; I am doing this trite market study, to receive answers to the following questions: 1. Would the blind community be interested in a talking clock that is manufactured in the United States, using the highest of quality parts and components, and built, with the highest of integrity in its workmanship? Circle: YES or NO 2. What would the blind be willing to pay for an American integrity talking clock unit? Here is an example: The Omnicron Electronics TCC-14, talking clock/calendar unit, sells for $445.00 when purchased new. The talking clock would have to be comparable in cost to the Omnicron Electronics talking clock/calendar unit, or would have to be lower in cost from the Omnicron Electronics unit. What price range would the blind be willing to pay for an American quality, user friendly, talking clock unit? Please put your response here: $ . Thank you very much for your cooperation in this survey. Sincerely, Clyde Lofton Tulsa, Oklahoma __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Any constructive criticism is okay. I'd like to know where I need improvement, and if so, what part that needs the improvement. Because I want the talking clock project to be a success. I've had too many failures in life, and I'm not going to let this project down, if I can help it. Clyde --------------------------------- Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.

Lots of other possibilities, Clyde. Look at it this way, you didn't invest your life savings and millions of borrowed money to produce it. I invented the first web type browser. I failed to market it. Lost a few years of my life trying. It's just the way the market is. Strive to make mistakes cheaply, so you can make more of them. Sooner or later, one of them will be a hit. Look at Whamo Manufacturing. They try all kinds of fad items, most of which fail in the marketplace. Most? Almost all of which fail in the market place. But by keeping testing costs down and constantly trying new things, they come out way ahead of the others who don't try often enough. Wham-o gave us the sling shot, the hula hoop, the spud gun, the Frisbee, and a bunch of other things which were not only fantastic sellers, they became cultural icons of their era. The nearest competition has something like a 16% success rate on new products. Wham-O's success rate is less than 1%; but because they try more often, they succeed far more often than other manufacturers. And every once in a while, they hit a product that goes on to become a cultural icon. Too many inventors let their latest idea own them. Own the ideas. Do what is appropriate to find out whether success is likely, before you bet the farm on it. And if the market does not seem to be there; then go on to the next idea. I lost with my idea, the web type browser. The browser did not catch on, in part, because I did not know how to market it. Someone else picked it up later, made it better, and convinced the world that it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I take my hat off to them; they did a better job than I could have. And with that idea, the whole world is a better place. I use the idea every day, and am glad the world took it to heart, because it's a tremendous tool! A tool that I need! -J- (John, Javilk@mall-net.com) CAUTION: I'm no doctor, I only tell computers what to do. Nothing in this document should be construed as medical advice.
