LARSONIAN Astronomy and Physics

               Orthodox physicists, astronomers, and astrophysicists
          CLAIM to be looking for a "Unified Field Theory" in which all
          of the forces of the universe can be explained with a single
          set of laws or equations.  But they have been systematically
          IGNORING or SUPPRESSING an excellent one for 30 years!

               The late Physicist Dewey B. Larson's comprehensive
          GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the physical universe, which he
          calls the "Reciprocal System", is built on two fundamental
          postulates about the physical and mathematical natures of
          space and time:

               (1) "The physical universe is composed ENTIRELY of ONE
          component, MOTION, existing in THREE dimensions, in DISCRETE
          UNITS, and in two RECIPROCAL forms, SPACE and TIME."

               (2) "The physical universe conforms to the relations of
          ORDINARY COMMUTATIVE mathematics, its magnitudes are
          ABSOLUTE, and its geometry is EUCLIDEAN."

               From these two postulates, Larson developed a COMPLETE
          Theoretical Universe, using various combinations of
          translational, vibrational, rotational, and vibrational-
          rotational MOTIONS, the concepts of IN-ward and OUT-ward
          SCALAR MOTIONS, and speeds in relation to the Speed of Light
          (which Larson called "UNIT VELOCITY" and "THE NATURAL
          DATUM").

               At each step in the development, Larson was able to
          MATCH objects in his Theoretical Universe with objects in the
          REAL physical universe, (photons, sub-atomic particles
          [INCOMPLETE ATOMS], charges, atoms, molecules, globular star
          clusters, galaxies, binary star systems, solar systems, white
          dwarf stars, pulsars, quasars, ETC.), even objects NOT YET
          DISCOVERED THEN (such as EXPLODING GALAXIES, and GAMMA-RAY
          BURSTS).

               And applying his Theory to his NEW model of the atom,
          Larson was able to precisely and accurately CALCULATE inter-
          atomic distances in crystals and molecules, compressibility
          and thermal expansion of solids, and other properties of
          matter.

               All of this is described in good detail, with-OUT fancy
          complex mathematics, in his books.

          university or public library doesn't have each of them.

               Several of them, INCLUDING the last one, are available
          from: The International Society of Unified Science (ISUS),
          1680 E. Atkin Ave., Salt Lake City, Utah  84106.  This is the
          organization that was started to promote Larson's Theory.
          They have other related publications, including the quarterly
          journal "RECIPROCITY".

          Physicist Dewey B. Larson's Background

               Physicist Dewey B. Larson was a retired Engineer
          (Chemical or Electrical).  He was about 91 years old when he
          died in May 1989.  He had a Bachelor of Science Degree in
          Engineering Science from Oregon State University.  He
          developed his comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the
          physical universe while trying to develop a way to COMPUTE
          chemical properties based only on the elements used.

               Larson's lack of a fancy "PH.D." degree might be one
          reason that orthodox physicists are ignoring him, but it is
          NOT A VALID REASON.  Sometimes it takes a relative outsider
          to CLEARLY SEE THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES.  At the same
          time, it is clear from his books that he also knew ORTHODOX
          physics and astronomy as well as ANY physicist or astronomer,
          well enough to point out all their CONTRADICTIONS, AD HOC
          ASSUMPTIONS, PRINCIPLES OF IMPOTENCE, IN-CONSISTENCIES, ETC..

               Larson did NOT have the funds, etc. to experimentally
          test his Theory.  And it was NOT necessary for him to do so.
          He simply compared the various parts of his Theory with OTHER
          researchers' experimental and observational data.  And in
          many cases, HIS explanation FIT BETTER.

               A SELF-CONSISTENT Theory is MUCH MORE than the ORTHODOX
          physicists and astronomers have!  They CLAIM to be looking
          for a "unified field theory" that works, but have been
          IGNORING one for over 30 years now!

               "Modern physics" does NOT explain the physical universe
          so well.  Some parts of some of Larson's books are FULL of
          quotations of leading orthodox physicists and astronomers who
          agree.  And remember that "epicycles", "crystal spheres",
          "geocentricity", "flat earth theory", etc., ALSO once SEEMED
          to explain it well, but were later proved CONCEPTUALLY WRONG.

               Prof. Frank H. Meyer, Professor Emeritus of UW-Superior,
          was/is a STRONG PROPONENT of Larson's Theory, and was (or
          still is) President of Larson's organization, "THE
          INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF UNIFIED SCIENCE", and Editor of
          their quarterly Journal "RECIPROCITY".  He moved to
          Minneapolis after retiring.

          "Super Collider" BOONDOGGLE!

               I am AGAINST contruction of the "Superconducting Super
          Collider", in Texas or anywhere else.  It would be a GROSS
          WASTE of money, and contribute almost NOTHING of "scientific"
          value.

               Most physicists don't realize it, but, according to the
          comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the late Physicist
          Dewey B. Larson, as described in his books, the strange GOOFY
          particles ("mesons", "hyperons", ALLEGED "quarks", etc.)
          which they are finding in EXISTING colliders (Fermi Lab,
          Cern, etc.) are really just ATOMS of ANTI-MATTER, which are
          CREATED by the high-energy colliding beams, and which quickly
          disintegrate like cosmic rays because they are incompatible
          with their environment.

               A larger and more expensive collider will ONLY create a
          few more elements of anti-matter that the physicists have not
          seen there before, and the physicists will be EVEN MORE
          CONFUSED THAN THEY ARE NOW!

               Are a few more types of anti-matter atoms worth the $8.3
          BILLION cost?!!  Don't we have much more important uses for
          this WASTED money?!

               Another thing to consider is that the primary proposed
          location in Texas has a serious and growing problem with some
          kind of "fire ants" eating the insulation off underground
          cables.  How much POISONING of the ground and ground water
          with insecticides will be required to keep the ants out of
          the "Supercollider"?!

               Naming the "Super Collider" after Ronald Reagon, as
          proposed, is TOTALLY ABSURD!  If it is built, it should be
          named after a leading particle PHYSICIST.

          LARSONIAN Anti-Matter

               In Larson's comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the
          physical universe, anti-matter is NOT a simple case of
          opposite charges of the same types of particles.  It has more
          to do with the rates of vibrations and rotations of the
          photons of which they are made, in relation to the
          vibrational and rotational equivalents of the speed of light,
          which Larson calls "Unit Velocity" and the "Natural Datum".

               In Larson's Theory, a positron is actually a particle of
          MATTER, NOT anti-matter.  When a positron and electron meet,
          the rotational vibrations (charges) and rotations of their
          respective photons (of which they are made) neutralize each
          other.

               In Larson's Theory, the ANTI-MATTER half of the physical
          universe has THREE dimensions of TIME, and ONLY ONE dimension
          of space, and exists in a RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIP to our
          MATERIAL half.

          LARSONIAN Relativity

               The perihelion point in the orbit of the planet Mercury
          has been observed and precisely measured to ADVANCE at the
          rate of 574 seconds of arc per century.  531 seconds of this
          advance are attributed via calculations to gravitational
          perturbations from the other planets (Venus, Earth, Jupiter,
          etc.).  The remaining 43 seconds of arc are being used to
          help "prove" Einstein's "General Theory of Relativity".

               But the late Physicist Dewey B. Larson achieved results
          CLOSER to the 43 seconds than "General Relativity" can, by
          INSTEAD using "SPECIAL Relativity".  In one or more of his
          books, he applied the LORENTZ TRANSFORMATION on the HIGH
          ORBITAL SPEED of Mercury.

               Larson TOTALLY REJECTED "General Relativity" as another
          MATHEMATICAL FANTASY.  He also REJECTED most of "Special
          Relativity", including the parts about "mass increases" near
          the speed of light, and the use of the Lorentz Transform on
          doppler shifts, (Those quasars with red-shifts greater than
          1.000 REALLY ARE MOVING FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT,
          although most of that motion is away from us IN TIME.).

               In Larson's comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the
          physical universe, there are THREE dimensions of time instead
          of only one.  But two of those dimensions can NOT be measured
          from our material half of the physical universe.  The one
          dimension that we CAN measure is the CLOCK time.  At low
          relative speeds, the values of the other two dimensions are
          NEGLIGIBLE; but at high speeds, they become significant, and
          the Lorentz Transformation must be used as a FUDGE FACTOR.
          [Larson often used the term "COORDINATE TIME" when writing
          about this.]

               In regard to "mass increases", it has been PROVEN in
          atomic accelerators that acceleration drops toward zero near
          the speed of light.  But the formula for acceleration is
          ACCELERATION = FORCE / MASS, (a = F/m).  Orthodox physicists
          are IGNORING the THIRD FACTOR: FORCE.  In Larson's Theory,
          mass STAYS CONSTANT and FORCE drops toward zero.  FORCE is
          actually a MOTION, or COMBINATIONS of MOTIONS, or RELATIONS
          BETWEEN MOTIONS, including INward and OUTward SCALAR MOTIONS.
          The expansion of the universe, for example, is an OUTward
          SCALAR motion inherent in the universe and NOT a result of
          the so-called "Big Bang" (which is yet another MATHEMATICAL
          FANTASY).

          THE UNIVERSE OF MOTION

               I wish to recommend to EVERYONE the book "THE UNIVERSE
          OF MOTION", by Dewey B. Larson, 1984, North Pacific
          Publishers, (P.O. Box 13255, Portland, Oregon  97213), 456
          pages, indexed, hardcover.

               It contains the Astrophysical portions of a GENERAL
          UNIFIED Theory of the physical universe developed by that
          author, an UNrecognized GENIUS, more than thirty years ago.

               It contains FINAL SOLUTIONS to most ALL Astrophysical
          mysteries, including the FORMATION of galaxies, binary and
          multiple star systems, and solar systems, the TRUE ORIGIN of
          the "3-degree" background radiation, cosmic rays, and gamma-
          ray bursts, and the TRUE NATURE of quasars, pulsars, white
          dwarfs, exploding galaxies, etc..

               It contains what astronomers and astrophysicists are ALL
          looking for, if they are ready to seriously consider it with
          OPEN MINDS!

               The following is an example of his Theory's success:
          In his first book in 1959, "THE STRUCTURE OF THE PHYSICAL
          UNIVERSE", Larson predicted the existence of EXPLODING
          GALAXIES, several years BEFORE astronomers started finding
          them.  They are a NECESSARY CONSEQUENCE of Larson's
          comprehensive Theory.  And when QUASARS were discovered, he
          had an immediate related explanation for them also.

          GAMMA-RAY BURSTS

               Astro-physicists and astronomers are still scratching
          their heads about the mysterious GAMMA-RAY BURSTS.  They were
          originally thought to originate from "neutron stars" in the
          disc of our galaxy.  But the new Gamma Ray Telescope now in
          Earth orbit has been detecting them in all directions
          uniformly, and their source locations in space do NOT
          correspond to any known objects, (except for a few cases of
          directional coincidence).

               Gamma-ray bursts are a NECESSARY CONSEQUENCE of the
          GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the physical universe developed by
          the late Physicist Dewey B. Larson.  According to page 386 of
          his book "THE UNIVERSE OF MOTION", published in 1984, the
          gamma-ray bursts are coming from SUPERNOVA EXPLOSIONS in the
          ANTI-MATTER HALF of the physical universe, which Larson calls
          the "Cosmic Sector".  Because of the relationship between the
          anti-matter and material halves of the physical universe, and
          the way they are connected together, the gamma-ray bursts can
          pop into our material half anywhere in space, seemingly at
          random.  (This is WHY the source locations of the bursts do
          not correspond with known objects, and come from all
          directions uniformly.)

               I wonder how close to us in space a source location
          would have to be for a gamma-ray burst to kill all or most
          life on Earth!  There would be NO WAY to predict one, NOR to
          stop it!

               Perhaps some of the MASS EXTINCTIONS of the past, which
          are now being blamed on impacts of comets and asteroids, were
          actually caused by nearby GAMMA-RAY BURSTS!

          LARSONIAN Binary Star Formation

               About half of all the stars in the galaxy in the
          vicinity of the sun are binary or double.  But orthodox
          astronomers and astrophysicists still have no satisfactory
          theory about how they form or why there are so many of them.

               But binary star systems are actually a LIKELY
          CONSEQUENCE of the comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of
          the physical universe developed by the late Physicist Dewey
          B. Larson.

               I will try to summarize Larsons explanation, which is
          detailed in Chapter 7 of his book "THE UNIVERSE OF MOTION"
          and in some of his other books.

               First of all, according to Larson, stars do NOT generate
          energy by "fusion".  A small fraction comes from slow
          gravitational collapse.  The rest results from the COMPLETE
          ANNIHILATION of HEAVY elements (heavier than IRON).  Each
          element has a DESTRUCTIVE TEMPERATURE LIMIT.  The heavier the
          element is, the lower is this limit.  A star's internal
          temperature increases as it grows in mass via accretion and
          absorption of the decay products of cosmic rays, gradually
          reaching the destructive temperature limit of lighter and
          lighter elements.

               When the internal temperature of the star reaches the
          destructive temperature limit of IRON, there is a Type I
          SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION!  This is because there is SO MUCH iron
          present; and that is related to the structure of iron atoms
          and the atom building process, which Larson explains in some
          of his books [better than I can].

               When the star explodes, the lighter material on the
          outer portion of the star is blown outward in space at less
          than the speed of light.  The heavier material in the center
          portion of the star was already bouncing around at close to
          the speed of light, because of the high temperature.  The
          explosion pushes that material OVER the speed of light, and
          it expands OUTWARD IN TIME, which is equivalent to INWARD IN
          SPACE, and it often actually DISAPPEARS for a while.

               Over long periods of time, both masses start to fall
          back gravitationally.  The material that had been blown
          outward in space now starts to form a RED GIANT star.  The
          material that had been blown OUTWARD IN TIME starts to form a
          WHITE DWARF star.  BOTH stars then start moving back toward
          the "MAIN SEQUENCE" from opposite directions on the H-R
          Diagram.

               The chances of the two masses falling back into the
          exact same location in space, making a single lone star
          again, are near zero.  They will instead form a BINARY
          system, orbiting each other.

               According to Larson, a white dwarf star has an INVERSE
          DENSITY GRADIENT (is densest at its SURFACE), because the
          material at its center is most widely dispersed (blown
          outward) in time.   This ELIMINATES the need to resort to
          MATHEMATICAL FANTASIES about "degenerate matter", "neutron
          stars", "black holes", etc..

          LARSONIAN Solar System Formation

               If the mass of the heavy material at the center of the
          exploding star is relatively SMALL, then, instead of a single
          white dwarf star, there will be SEVERAL "mini" white dwarf
          stars (revolving around the red giant star, but probably
          still too far away in three-dimensional TIME to be affected
          by its heat, etc.).  These will become PLANETS!

               In Chapter 7 of THE UNIVERSE OF MOTION, Larson used all
          this information, and other principles of his comprehensive
          GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the physical universe, to derive
          his own version of Bode's Law.

          "Black Hole" FANTASY!

               I heard that physicist Stephen W. Hawking recently
          completed a theoretical mathematical analysis of TWO "black
          holes" merging together into a SINGLE "black hole", and
          concluded that the new "black hole" would have MORE MASS than
          the sum of the two original "black holes".

               Such a result should be recognized by EVERYone as a RED
          FLAG, causing widespread DOUBT about the whole IDEA of "black
          holes", etc.!

               After reading Physicist Dewey B. Larson's books about
          his comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the physical
          universe, especially his book "THE UNIVERSE OF MOTION", it is
          clear to me that "black holes" are NOTHING more than
          MATHEMATICAL FANTASIES!  The strange object at Cygnus X-1 is
          just an unusually massive WHITE DWARF STAR, NOT the "black
          hole" that orthodox astronomers and physicists so badly want
          to "prove" their theory.

               By the way, I do NOT understand why so much publicity is
          being given to physicist Stephen Hawking.  The physicists and
          astronomers seem to be acting as if Hawking's severe physical
          problem somehow makes him "wiser".  It does NOT!

               I wish the same attention had been given to Physicist
          Dewey B. Larson while he was still alive.  Widespread
          publicity and attention should NOW be given to Larson's
          Theory, books, and organization (The International Society of
          Unified Science).

          ELECTRO-MAGNETIC PROPULSION

               I heard of that concept many years ago, in connection
          with UFO's and unorthodox inventors, but I never was able to
          find out how or why they work, or how they are constructed.

               I found a possible clue about why they might work on
          pages 112-113 of the book "BASIC PROPERTIES OF MATTER", by
          the late Physicist Dewey B. Larson, which describes part of
          Larson's comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the physical
          universe.  I quote one paragraph:

               "As indicated in the preceding chapter, the development
          of the theory of the universe of motion arrives at a totally
          different concept of the nature of electrical resistance.
          The electrons, we find, are derived from the environment.  It
          was brought out in Volume I [Larson's book "NOTHING BUT
          MOTION"] that there are physical processes in operation which
          produce electrons in substantial quantities, and that,
          although the motions that constitute these electrons are, in
          many cases, absorbed by atomic structures, the opportunities
          for utilizing this type of motion in such structures are
          limited.  It follows that there is always a large excess of
          free electrons in the material sector [material half] of the
          universe, most of which are uncharged.  In this uncharged
          state the electrons cannot move with respect to extension
          space, because they are inherently rotating units of space,
          and the relation of space to space is not motion.  In open
          space, therefore, each uncharged electron remains permanently
          in the same location with respect to the natural reference
          system, in the manner of a photon.  In the context of the
          stationary spatial reference system the uncharged electron,
          like the photon, is carried outward at the speed of light by
          the progression of the natural reference system.  All
          material aggregates are thus exposed to a flux of electrons
          similar to the continual bombardment by photons of radiation.
          Meanwhile there are other processes, to be discussed later,
          whereby electrons are returned to the environment.  The
          electron population of a material aggregate such as the earth
          therefore stabilizes at an equilibrium level."

               Note that in Larson's Theory, UNcharged electrons are
          also massLESS, and are basically photons of light of a
          particular frequency (above the "unit" frequency) spinning
          around one axis at a particular rate (below the "unit" rate).
          ("Unit velocity" is the speed of light, and there are
          vibrational and rotational equivalents to the speed of light,
          according to Larson's Theory.)  [I might have the "above" and
          "below" labels mixed up.]

               Larson is saying that outer space is filled with mass-
          LESS UN-charged electrons flying around at the speed of
          light!

               If this is true, then the ELECTRO-MAGNETIC PROPULSION
          fields of spacecraft might be able to interact with these
          electrons, or other particles in space, perhaps GIVING them a
          charge (and mass) and shooting them toward the rear to
          achieve propulsion. (In Larson's Theory, an electrical charge
          is a one-dimensional rotational vibration of a particular
          frequency (above the "unit" frequency) superimposed on the
          rotation of the particle.)

               The paragraph quoted above might also give a clue to
          confused meteorologists about how and why lightning is
          generated in clouds.

          SUPPRESSION of LARSONIAN Physics

               The comprehensive GENERAL UNIFIED Theory of the physical
          universe developed by the late Physicist Dewey B. Larson has
          been available for more than 30 YEARS, published in 1959 in
          his first book "THE STRUCTURE OF THE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE".

               It is TOTALLY UN-SCIENTIFIC for Hawking, Wheeler, Sagan,
          and the other SACRED PRIESTS of the RELIGION they call
          "science" (or "physics", or "astronomy", etc.), as well as
          the "scientific" literature and the "education" systems, to
          TOTALLY IGNORE Larson's Theory has they have.

               Larson's Theory has excellent explanations for many
          things now puzzling orthodox physicists and astronomers, such
          as gamma-ray bursts and the nature of quasars.

               Larson's Theory deserves to be HONESTLY and OPENLY
          discussed in the physics, chemistry, and astronomy journals,
          in the U.S. and elsewhere.  And at least the basic principles
          of Larson's Theory should be included in all related courses
          at UW-EC, UW-Madison, Cambridge, Cornell University, and
          elsewhere, so that students are not kept in the dark about a
          worthy alternative to the DOGMA they are being fed.

               For more information, answers to your questions, etc.,
          please consult my CITED SOURCES (especially Larson's BOOKS).

               UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this
          IMPORTANT partial summary is ENCOURAGED.


I heard third-hand (not the best form of information) that there was recently
published results of a study on Multiple-Personality-Disorder Syndrome
patients revealing some interesting clues that the root cause of allergy may
have a psychological trigger or basis.  What I heard about this study was that
in one 'personality', a MPDS patient exhibited no observable or clinical signs
of inhalant allergy (scratch tests were used, according to what I heard),
while in other personalities they showed obvious allergy symptoms, including
testing a full ++++ on scratch tests for particular inhalants.

If this is true, it is truly fascinating.

But, I'd like to know if this study was ever done, and if so, what the study
really showed, and where the study is published.  Any help out there?

I'm still catching up from Spring Break, but bear with me...

Javy Lopez has proven, over 1400+ AB in the minor leagues, that he is
ready to play in the majors. He is *not* being rushed. Players who are
clearly too good for AA and play behind stiffs at the major league level
are wasting their time, and may actually have a court case against
major league management for keeping them, at AAA.

Unless Lopez is *me* defensively (I'm 5'7'', 165 and born to play
second base :-)), he belongs in the major leagues.

Valentine isn't saying he should back up. He's saying he should be put
in a position to *win* the job in the major leagues, which, IMHO, he
would if given the opportunity. (Val, if I'm misinterpreting, please
let me know.)

But the players who *are* ready are 1)the best and 2) the ones most
likely to benefit from being in the majors. Javy Lopez is not a middle-
of-the-road prospect. He's the real thing. NOW.

Again, the most important thing a player can do is hit. Lopez does that
miles better than Olson or Berryhill. If his defense is good enough for
Greenville, or Richmond, it's good enough for Atlanta. If he really was
awful defensively, he would no longer be a catcher. See Sprague, Ed.

Oh, where to start... OK. First of all, solid != good. I want good players.
Solid is one of those words used to describe nice white guys who really
aren't very good at baseball. Think of it as "TWG" without the caps.
It's a losing strategy to say, "We have solid guys, we don't need to improve."
You used it four times in that paragraph, BTW.

Same for experienced. I might add, though, that Greg Olson and Damon
Berryhill aren't exactly Carter and Fisk. Olson has played three years,
Berryhill five, although 90 and 91 were a wash. The only difference,
IMHO, between Olson and Valle is the supporting cast.

"Two big bats." Hrm. I like Justice, but I find Mr. Gant's trend disturbing.
Call it one and a maybe. The Braves' platoon is OK, but neither player
has *any* value outside of the platoon. Bream vs. LH and Hunter vs. RH
are awful. I'll leave the thirdbase comment alone. Pendleton has wasted
too much bandwidth already. If the CF platoon hits .300, I'll retrace
Mr. Likhani's midnight run down Forbes, and I live in NY and LA.
(Got that, Mike?)

And doesn't Cox call pitches, anyway?

Nope. They're baseball management, possible the most short-sighted
collection of people in the nation. Do you not believe this goes on,
Mark? Do you think Frank Thomas needed those three months in AAA in
1990? Or Cal Eldred wasn't *really* better than Ricky Bones last year?

You're mostly polite; make defensible, if flawed cases; have wit and
have, in the past, admitted being wrong. That does qualify you on r.s.b.
We'll make an SDCN out of you, yet :-)


Yeah. Innocents. People who hoard $250K worth of high-caliber automatic weapons
and kill law-enforcement agents really fit the bill here. The only innocents
were the 20+ children who were prevented from leaving a burning building by
their self-appointed messiah-following parents. A burning STARTED by the
Davidians.

Is this subject line a veiled threat against U.S. Government agents or possibly
Executive office leadership (i.e. Clinton)? I've considered you a bit of a loon,
before, Stephen, I guess this pretty much confirms it.

Nice religion you have there.  The only ones who should be killed are those who
don't agree with us. Sheesh.

Good question.  I'm sure some biologist could answer better than I,
but animals brains are just set up differently.

Animals *can* be trained, but if they're instincts serve them well, there is
no reason to contradict them.

I thought you were gonna buy a BMW for its superior power and handling...


Hello.  I hope somebody out here can help me.  I am currently working
on a project where I am trying to communicate from an IBM 386 with
Phoenix BIOS, using C++, to a board that I made with an Intel 8085 CPU
with UART chip.  The board works fine with the TRANSMIT command and
Terminal Emulation mode of Kermit, but there seems to be something wrong
with the initialization or protocol used when I try C++.  I need to
access the unit I built using C, because I have a sizable chunk of C
code that I will be using to perform calculations and operations that
will be very difficult to code in assembly language for the 8085.

I have included the assembly code that I am running and the C++ code
that I am trying to use.  If anyone can show me something that I
am doing blatantly incorrectly or that I am missing because of my lack
of knowledge about RS-232 serial communications, please e-mail me.
I wrote the assembly language to wait for a character to be received and
then to check it against the 0x20 character, if a 0x20 is received,
the LEDs will indicate this.  Two C++ programs that I have written do
nothing, but set up COM port 2 and send the 0x20 character.  One uses
the bioscom() function in bios.h the other uses the software interrupt
int86() function in dos.h.  I have triple checked the baud rate ( 2400 )
the parity ( none ) the stop bits ( 1 ) the character length ( 8 bits )
and the interrupt calls for ( 0x14 ).  Currently, I am at a loss as
to what may be wrong.  Any hardware gurus out there want to comment?

My speculation does not include or depend upon a trapdoor in RSAREF. I
do not believe that RSA would consent to such.

However, there are other limitation in the concept of RSAREF in which
NSA has an interest.  It has an interest in a limited number of
implementations, i.e., targets.  It has an interest in fixed key or
maximum modulus size.

It has a legitimate (literally) right to pursue such interests.  Within
bounds, it probably has a right to pursue those interests by covert
means.  At least it has the same right as the rest of us not to disclose
all of its motives and intentions.  (Institutions are not self-aware;
they do not know their intentions in any meaningful sense.)

I have had my Q700 running with a 66.666 MHz osc for a few months. I have a
number of SCSI devices connected (Quantum LP52, Maxtor 213, Toshiba MK156F via
Emulex adapter, Pioneer DRM-600) and have had no trouble.

I am using the stock cooling facilities, I considered adding a fan/heat pump,
but don't feel they are necessary (for my box anyway). I have a temp meter on
order and plan to do some measurements when it arrives in a few weeks. Email me
if you want to see the results.


	"And in that day you will ask Me no question.  Truly, truly, I say to
	you, if you shall ask the Father for anything, He will give it to you
	in my name.  Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask, and
	you will receive, that your joy may be made full."
				-John 16:23-24

I don't believe that we necessarily have to say " . . . In Christ's name.
Amen," for our prayers to be heard, but it glorifies the Son, when we
acknowledge that our prayer is made possible by Him.  I believe that just as
those who were saved in the OT, could only be saved because Jesus would one day
reconcile God to man, He is the only reason their prayers would be heard by
God.

	For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
	And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
	And all of us wither like a leaf,
	and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
				-Isaiah 64:6, NAS

Our prayers like the rest of our deeds are too unholy to go directly to the
Father because they are tainted by our sin.  Only by washing these prayers with
Christ's blood are they worthy to be lifted to to the Father.

	"First, I thank my God through Christ Jesus . . ."
				-Romans 1:8, NAS

Some scholars believe that this is Paul recognizing that even his thanks are
too unholy for the Father.
	Basically, prayer is a gift of grace, I believe that only through Jesus
do our prayers have any power; thus, praying in His name glorifies and praises
Jesus for this beautiful and powerful gift He has given us.

Is this the joke of the month?

1. Your fascist grandparents exterminated 2.5 million Muslim people
between 1914 and 1920.

2. Your Nazi parents fully participated in the extermination of the
European Jewry during WWII.

3. Your criminal cousins have been slaughtering Muslim women, children
and elderly people in fascist x-Soviet Armenia and Karabag for the last
four years.

The entire population of x-Soviet Armenia now, as a result of the
Genocide of 2.5 million Muslim people, are Armenians.

For nearly one thousand years, the Turkish and Kurdish people
lived on their homeland - the last one hundred under the
oppressive Soviet and Armenian occupation. The persecutions
culminated in 1914: The Armenian Government planned and carried
out a Genocide against its Muslim subjects. 2.5 million Turks
and Kurds were murdered and the remainder driven out of their
homeland. After one thousand years, Turkish and Kurdish lands
were empty of Turks and Kurds.

The survivors found a safe heaven in Turkiye.

Today, x-Soviet Armenian government rejects the right of Turks and
Kurds to return to their Muslim lands occupied by x-Soviet Armenia.

Today, x-Soviet Armenian government covers up the genocide perpetrated
by its predecessors and is therefore an accessory to this crime against
humanity.

x-Soviet Armenian government must pay for their crime of genocide
against the Muslims by admitting to the crime and making reparations
to the Turks and Kurds.

Turks and Kurds demand the right to return to their lands, to determine
their own future as a nation in their own homeland.

During the 78th Anniversary, we come once again reiterate the
unity of the Muslim People, the timelessness of the Turkish
and Kurdish Demands and the desire to pursue the struggle
for that restitution - a struggle that unites all Turks and Kurds.

Today, we appeal to all Turkish and Kurdish people in the United
States and Canada to participate en masse in the Commemorative
Events, be they cultural, political or religious.

The PowerBook 170 hardware doesn't have a wakeup timer.  Nor does the 140.
The Mac Portable had one, and I think the PowerBook 100 had one.  I don't
know about the newer PowerBooks, but I kind of doubt it.  I got bit by
this too, and it took my a while rooting around on the developer CD
before I found this out.


Sell the bike and the car and start taking the bus. That way you can

HELP!  I really got ripped off and I need some help unripping myself.

I bought a Maxtor 4380 300mb ESDI HDD from Hi-Tech for $300, then paid to
get it repaired, for about another $300.  Here's the deal:  The thing works
fine!  It low level formats, etc without any bad spots at all!  AND THEN...
(Jaws Music) sectors start going bad!  EEK!!!  One at a time.  Norton disk
doctor keeps marking some U and some C.  That FIXES it.  For about 5 minutes.

Then next day when I run NDD on it again: NO DICE more uncorrectable and
correctable sectors.  AHHHHHUUUURRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!  So I fugure: "Ok, NDD's
just not being thurough enough, I'll use Spinrite, I heard that works well."
What happens?  Spinrite goes and returns the clusters to active use!!!
AHHHUUUURRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!  NDD undoes it of course.  The problem seams to
be getting worse and worse.  HOWEVER when the HDD is low level formatted
again the problem goes away for a while, only to return in a day or so.

I'm so pissed off right now I'm considering buying another HDD, and I really
can't afford it.

I'm using SMARTDRIVE, and WINDOWS 3.1 (I'm not using the 32 bit disk access
though, I know that can create problems).  The disk is using the second
option to trick the controller into thinking it's got less then 1024 cyls,
and everything else selected is standard, maybe I need to use a different
head skew or something?  I don't know.

ANYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM PLEASE TELL ME HOW!!!! HELP!!!!


Unfortunately, there's not much we can learn from the statistics presented
here either.  Due to rounding, the 1991 est. for LSD could be anywhere
from .550 to .649 and the 1992 est. could be anywhere from .850 to .949.
This means that the actual change (if you believe these statistics in the
first place) was anywhere from 31% to 73%.  Similarly the increase in
cocaine use could be anywhere from 18% to 66% and the increase of
crack use could be anywhere from 29% to 120%.  This doesn't even

maximum claim, and you only have to notify them of the warranty when the
item needs repair.  If it can't be repaired, you get the amount you paid
for it.
Curiously though, the AT&T Gold mastercard has a limit of $1000 on claims.
Definitely not upgrading to that card...:)

- Can I have an IMPULSE ITEM instead?


Hi again,

Many thanks to all the people who responded to my request for a MS-
Windows screen grabber.  It proves to me AGAIN that the net is a
wonderful thing.  :-)

So, in summary:

There are two choices:

1)	Various screen grabber packages (Corel Draw has one, there are
a couple on simtel and cica).

2)	Use the built-in PrintScreen and Alt-PrintScreen functionality
to paste the screen (or window) to the clipboard.  Then paste the
clipboard to your application.  Cool!

Again, thanks for the info...

Hi all,

I have a DLL in which I Register a class and create a window of that
class type.  Both calls require a module instance handle, hInstance.

Petzold's 3.1 book says that it is best to use the module instance
handle of the calling program, not the module instance handle of the
DLL (page 934).

I have two questions:

1)  Is there a way to find out the module instance handle of a module?

2)  What are the possible problems with using the instance handle of
    the DLL?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I know that Jet Inc makes refills for the Stylewriter and Deskwriter
ink jet cartridges in several colors....but are pre-filled cartridges
in color available from anyone (or do I have to use-up one cartridge
before I have a chance to print in color?)

Also, are inks in process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) available
to refill cartridges?

This is in relation to a question concerning changing the registered to:

I can find it with a HEX editor, although I have not tried to overwrite it.
Are you sure it can't be?  You may be mistaken about this. (???)

I found an oddity with our SGI Indigo (MIPS R3000 chip).
When xlock +nolock is running, and I am working remotely
or in batch (at) mode, the runtime of my programs (as timed
by using clock() in the code itself) is ~25% slower than if
xlock is NOT running.  No other processes seem to affect my
runtimes, yet this is very consistent!

Any explanations, real or imagined :)


Hi there,
I have a mac 512 with a burned out part which looks like a voltage
regulator.  The part number is BU 406 and I believe the vender is
SGS thomas judging by teh SGS logo printed on the package.  If anyone
has teh spec for this part I would greatly appreciate an email with
the import info so I can find a replacement.  Thanx in advance.

oldham@ces.cwru.edu (Daniel Oldham) babbles:

What happened in Waco is not the fault of the BATF. If they would of
had the proper equipment and personal then they could of captured the
compound on the initial assault and none of this would of happened.

	If they'd gone to the door and knocked on it to serve the
	warrant, like the Sheriff had done 3 other times, they
	wouldn't have needed to HAVE an initial assault.  But then,
	Herr Klinton and Attorney Gen'l Reno wouldn't have been
	able to have told such heroic stories about how they
	"protected" the rest of us from a group of people who
	kept to themselves, miles out in the prairie.

The BATF needs more people, better weapons and more armored
transports. When they meet hostile fire they should be able to use
more force instead of retreating to a stand off. If you are going to
do a job then do it right. The BATF is there to protect us and they
must have the proper equipment and people to do the job.

	The BATF needs to be disbanded.  This out of control group
	of Rambo wannabees is a danger to the Republic.

With the WoD and the increased crime in the streets the BATF is needed
more now then ever. If they blast away a few good fokes then that is
the price we all have to pay for law and order in this country.

	Well, I figure you're going to get flamed pretty badly by
	everybody else for this incredibly stupid statement, so I'll
	just let it pass for now.

	Case Western reserve, huh?  Do the Feds know about that big
	stockpile of automatic weapons and crack you have in  your
	house?  Are you the same Daniel Oldham that lives on Orchard
	Drive?  Just so they get the address right, that is...

Look
at all the good people that died in wars to protect this great country
of ours.

	Well, it used to be a great country.  Now I'm not so sure.
	I knew a few of those good people who died in wars;  I was
	in Viet Nam.  I can assure you, none of us fought to protect
	the right of the government to attack its own citizens with
	military force without provocation.  (Hint: serving a search warrant
	is NOT sufficient provocation to stage a military style assault
	on a religious group.  At Least not here in the US.  Maybe in
	Iraq, or Syria...)

With the arms build up in Waco they needed to hit that compound with
mega fire power. They could of gone in there blasting and killed a few
women and kids but it would of been better then letting them all burn
to death 51 days later.


There are many people want to buy my Kodak autofocus carousel projectors
but I don't have lenses or remote to sell.  They prefer to buy a projector
with all accessaries.  So I have to post another news asking for lenses
to fit those Kodak slide projectors:

I am willing to give away Singer Caramate II or Singer Caramete SP (
w/ built-in unremovable lens, built-in casette player, speaker, new 500 HR
bulb) try to trade for Kodak projector lenses.

Each projector (viewer) will equal trade for 1 or 2 Kodak projector lenses
depend on the focal length.  I will pay for the shipping for Singer
projector (viewer).

Since I don't need those Singer projectors, if you have some 35mm SLR system
you don't need, I am willing to do the trade as well.


If these folks are who I think they are, Lyme-knowledgeable may
mean a physician to whom everything that walks in the door is
lyme disease, and you will be treated for lyme, whether or not
you have it.  Hope you have good insurance.
