We don't have to wait to make our chips, we make 'em ourselves.  Right next

in the MicroElectronic Engineering major are responsible for it.  Did you know
that chips have to be mass produced with 100% error free quality?  Even if they

produced chips that were 99% error free in a batch, a whole mess of problems

Basically, Mathematica is a mathematic modeling utility that allows you to
simulate pretty much ANY situation that you could come up with(This is a
drastic oversimplification, but to fully explain it you'd have to use it for
yourself).  The graphics on it are also great, too.  You can get pretty sick
geometric shapes.  All of IE's eat, sleep, and breathe Mathematica by our
senior year.

A proof of 1=2
x = y
xx = yx
xx - yy = yx - yy
(x + y)(x - y) = y(x - y)
x + y = y
since x = y,
y + y = y
2y = y
therefore,
1 = 2.






Where's the mistake??

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you.  My college has restrictions on Bitnet use -

At least ALL the computing facilities are "free," meaning that we don't have to

pay a fee to use anything.

One thing I like best about calling our school's computers is to use the Dow
Jones news service -- it's free to access from the school computer, so I can
pick up the latest news for free as well as an online encyclopedia which is
fantastic.

Oh yeah, our school library is completely computerized -- they have the whole
library in on the VAX, so you can look up an author, subject or book via the
VAX.  The best part is that it can be accessed through any terminal on the VAX
or a dialup.  Imagine, going to the library without having to go there; if you

took to sort of "catch up", but got the highest grade in the class in the

school, but am making great progress teaching Japanese to myself out of some
old world war II textbooks.  The things I do know, no one could possible expect

me to understand, and the things I don't know are incredibly simple... like the

order of degrees, f'instance.  Which is why I want to be a maid... or maybe a

I wrote a message some time ago about finding successful athletes and true
knockouts on this BBS to be a slim chance.  Some of you took offense to that.
Why?  TFM said that I implied that they were too stupid.  If I wanted them to
be stupid, I would have written that.  Slaine claimed to be an athlete, thus he

was an exception.  Well, then, that holds true for me as well, since I was
a swimmer for my high school swimming team.  Please don't read between my
lines, there is nothing there to read.

So, what's my point?  If an athlete were truly successful, he would possess the

qualities required to keep that success.  For example, determination,
diligence, and desire.  In order to remain successful, they're usually
extremely busy, which is probably a pretty good reason why you won't find them
dawdling like the rest of us on this BBS.

True knockouts?  That was probably a sexist statement and blunt -- can you
think of a better phrase?  "An extremely endowed and capable female?"
Let's not mince words and use euphemisms here.  The majority of the computer
users today are males which explains why there is a small percent of females.
In fact, I can only identify two female users on this BBS out of what, 160
users?

I await any rebuttals.

Yeah, but it also is a BIG responsibility.  If you screw it up, you could, in
effect, mess up someone's academic life.


In a University as large as UMASS, it is a necessity to have student
instructors, especially in Math and Science classes.  Take the math department
for example.  They have like 35-40 faculty, and at the same time, over 400 math

courses offered each semester.  Student and graduate student instructors are
needed.  I've had all three(Prof, Ugrad, and Grad) and I've found that the
Ugrad instructors are the best.  I had him for Calc I(called him Wayne, never
did tell us his last name), and I got an 'A.'  I had this Grad student for Calc

II, and he was an ass, he thought that we were all grad students, also, and
ripped everything I did to shreds.  Got a 'B.'  Calc III I had this ancient(I
mean OLD!!!!) lady Professor.  She sucked.  Totally caught up in the 'Old
Ways.'  Didn't believe in calculators, didn't believe in makeups, and had us
pass in HW four times a week along with 2 quizzes a week.  Hellacious.  I did
more work in that one class than all of my others combined(well...seemed that
way).  Only got a 'B' in that one, too.  AAH!!!

But, after Linear Algebra this summer, no more math, officially.  Can always
take one if I want, though.

What is so sexist about it is that it stems back to the fact that the wife is

I had a very ancient professor for Calc I -- he nearly destroyed my hope for
college because I thought all professors were like him.  Fortunately, I was
wrong.  I got an 'A' in Calc I as well.  I had an excellent teacher for Calc II

and got another A as well.  Calc III was more difficult so I got by with a B.
Was a good teacher, but boring.

The biggest shock I recieved was University Physics I -- they ripped right
through what Mr. DeSousa went through in TWO weeks.  WOW.  Never before I had
to work so HARD to keep up in that course -- it's VERY mind boggling.
Fortunately, I got a B for all the hard effort I put into it.  Makes me feel
good.  The professor in that class would come in without ANY material, ask a
student where we left off, and just rattled on... WHOAH!  That class seriously
hurt my brain, literally.  I had headaches trying to put everything together.

The best class I had so far was Independent Study -- meaning I got credit
working for a teacher, helping put together computers and stuff.  <grin>

Before I decided on engineering, a person told me I ought to think about

making stories or captivating an audience through writing.  Yeah, I would
prefer to write fiction as well, if I had that choice.

Why not try technical writing?  Write manuals?  Nah.  That sounds boring.  At
least that's what I can do for a fallback or a temporary position, write
manuals with the technicial skills that I possess.  They need people for that
-- a remarkable number of engineers have poor writing skills.

Oh yeah, there is this thing called "making too much money."  You can probably
lose up to 60% of your income if you make $50,000 a year or so.  I might be

Data Structures
Analog Electronics
Digital Electronics
Capstone Design (senior project)

'C' programming II
and the biggie,  Programming Methods in AI, this course links all I know about
simulation, C, Pascal, Assy. Lang., Electronics, and Ergonomics to design our

Exactly 18 courses left, for approx. 60 credit hours of material.  I plan on

Looking from another viewpoint -- the company you co-op for might hire you on a

department, wheras California has produced Metallica, Exodus, Testament, Laaz
Rockit, Death Angel, etc.  I'm starting to get fed up with "Bluesy" metal, as
in the vein of GnR, Aerosmith, etc.   Boston has more of that than anything.
Although I would miss the Channel Club, but LA has the Cathouse, Whisky a

either August or September. The March
concert was incredible, with
Queensryche opening up for them. The
second show wasn't as good, but better
than most, they had  The Cult opening

This is great, I got logged off in the middle of your other message, about

connected me right in the middle of the bad news about Killmor and you --
actually, I suppose that isn't so wonderful, what if I hadn't been me... not
that I can think of anything in my file that exactly qualifies as the secrets
of the ancients, but I get into enough trouble on my own without help from the
outside.

Now what were you saying?  Oh yeah, the boat...  He bought it off someone for
$150, which is supposedly the miracle of the centuries.  It's a sailfish.  I
think it must be some sort of racing boat because it's extremely light, has a
huge sail, and no real place to sit down.  He was planning on selling it but we

changed our minds, it's too much fun.  He's taking me out on it again today (I
almost capsized the boat last night -- quit laughing, it's extremely easy to
do, and I understand the whole joy of owning that type of boat... why pulling
yourself and a boat out of the water would be tons of fun is yet beyond me, but

I'm sure I'll find out.)

I'm really sorry about you and Killmor, I really thought the two of you were

P.S. My cousin's boat is a motorboat,
meaning it has an engine which rotates
this propellor under the water, behind
the boat which makes it move very
quickly. The boat will still float with
the engine attached, even when cut into

Trash...speed metal trash????   How can playing classically based music be

the majority of it is incredible.  Just look a "Frenzy" by Paul Gilbert or any
instrumental by Yngwie Malmsteen.  That stuff is so complicated to play and if
it's done right, it sounds great.  It's sad to say though that the majority of
really good metal is obscure to all but the few enlightened people who keep
their ears to the ground.  If it doesn't fit the radio format of
Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Solo-Chorus-Outro it doesn't get played, which is
really too bad, because people might get a chance to hear some good music for a

change.  Satriani is basically the only one who has broken through this

friend's house, who's family or parents
are heavily religious,  and this organ
downstairs started playing by itself.
Apparently this happened often before,
the grandmother said it was the devil
and all this poo-poo. So we got some
holy water, in a religious household
such items are attainable, and poured
it on the organ, and it melted part of
it. Gives me the willies every time I
think about that.

special way--with our trousers

 Compared to a show at the Rat, where
they crank the liverwurst out of the

 These clubs are so small, and you're
right on top of the amps, I couldn't
discern anything musical from
Dogzilla's entire set, it was just one
tsunami of sound crashing and
throbbing, reaching inside your body
cavities and ripping your spine out by
the roots.

 I actually enjoyed being deaf for the
next few days.

 Oh yeah, heard Queensryche's new song?
It's on the Ford Fairlane soundtrack,
'Last Night In Paris'. Went to Check It
Out and found out their new album
should be out by September. Hopefully
it's another concept album, I really
enjoy 'Operation Mindcrime', quite
original in it's own way.

 Another 'oh yeah', got that album with
'All The Young Dudes' on it. It's
recorded by this band, Mott The Hoople,
it's actually a pretty good tape, got
it cheap too.

You should try having more of an open mind, there Monkey.  My two favorite
types of music are Rap and Metal, and in the words of Scott Ian, rythym
guitarist for Anthrax "Rap is metal without the guitars."  Look at it
objectively.  Both genres are abhorred by many, constantly being picked on for
the lyrics(ie 2 Live Crew and Judas Priest, to name a couple), and are getting
more and more socially accepted by the month.

Open your mind!

 Was watching the JP trial, they had
some sound technician scoping the

believed mentioned something like
'Satan is our lord.' When he played it
for the audience, it sounded like
'Mofgdere ddffef eiweo' or something
equally similar. This trial, the 2 Live
Crew controversey, The Mapplethorpe
exhibit, the flag burning fracas; have
you noticed how much they remind you of
the witchunts in Salem? Or the Red

I know what you mean.  With all of the homeless in this fucking country, and
problems such as education, hunger, and the deficit, it seems as though our
country could be better spending it's money by concentrating on these problems
rather than art.  Judas Priest, 2 Live Crew, etc, etc, etc, all have one thing
in common and that is that I listen to them all, and look at me: I'm, so far,
a successful, sane(for the most part), and healthy individual, not some fucking

God hating, suicidal, Satan Worshipper that the government would lead us to
believe.  I think that our government is getting bored with the current state
of affairs and needs to start picking on it's own citizens to get some action
going.

I heard the Judas Priest singing and the so-called backwards messages played at

the trial.  All bullshit.  It sounded like me hitting a muted E chord on the
guitar.  Do it?!?  Yeah right.   Why does everyone need a scapegoat?  Can't
they just face the fact that their kids were FUCKED UP!?!  I think that the 2
Live Crew's tape is hilarious, in fact, I'm listening to it right now.  I don't

Well, hearing loss seems to depend on the individual.  When listening to loud
music, such as loud walkmans, concerts, stereos, etc., a person undergoes a
temporary threshold shift in which the hearing threshold goes up making it
necessary for the volume to be increased for a person to hear something.  It
seems as though it is different for everyone, that is, the amount of threshold
shift.  Take me, for example.  I have the bad habit of playing my walkman loud
2-4 hours a day 8 months a year(walking around campus).  I experience tinnitus
after this, but my hearing returns to normal quickly.  When you listen to loud
noises, the cilia in your ears get laid down, and if they are exposed again,
they break off, thereby causing permanent hearing loss.  This hasn't seemed to
have happened to me.  But, on the other hand, my friend Dave experiened serious

hearing loss from just 2 months of playing a walkman while landscaping.

Some of the theories I have been presented with about this deal with the fact
that the ears get conditioned to loud noises, and eventually, it takes more and

more to affect them.  I personally tend to believe this, seeing as I have NEVER

failed a hearing test.


And NO, I am no homosexual.

summer, when upon getting out of school, I promptly contracted mononucleosis,
which laid me up for a month.  When I went back to work, I found that the
summer help had been laid off.  Then, my carbeurator needed replacing.  Then my

girlfriend dumped me(although she later saw the error of her ways and we
reconciled), then on my birthday, my car BLEW UP!  To top it all off, I also
contracted Jerusalem Brain-Rot on my computer and had to reformat
EVERYTHING!!!!   Really bad luck.




My immune system seems to be up to par, as I haven't had a cold in something
like 4 years.  With exception of Mono, I haven't been sick, either.  I take my
vitamins,  and sleep doesn't seem to have much effect on me.  I get between 4-5

hours now, and when school starts in 22 days, I'll be getting somewhere in the
area of 23-30 hours a week.  I usually get all my sleep on Sunday and Monday
nights, like 5 or six hours a night, then Tuesday and Wednesday I get about 4,
then Thursday thru Saturday nights I just take quick powernaps, due to the fact

that I drink until 2 or 3 on Thursday and Friday, and Saturday I usually don't
drink that much, I usually spend until 9 or 10 doing Homework and then go to a

Ah, now, here's another item to thrown in (sort of a wrench to wreck the works,

What about ... SEX?  Yes, that S word.  Does a relationship always have to be
platonic?  Can you have a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" without having hurt
feelings or developing a deeper level of a relationship when you DON'T want to?

OR can you have a situation like in that movie "When Harry Met Sally..."

Personally, I found that movie depressing.  It reminded me too much of my life
 -- too many platonic relationships.

Now, I hope you're not getting the impression that I'm a one-night stand type
of a person, because I'm not.

Oh yes, just for the record, I DO have friendships with members of the opposite

sex without any sexual feelings whatsoever.  But then again, I'm sure everyone
on this BBS has managed to do that as well.  This is the 90's!

Obviously, I will need more experience as I progress throughout life.  But it
certainly would help if other people provided their insight for others to think

about.

 I think my cousin referred me to the

with Stephen King. I think, reflecting

steadily worse since The Tommyknockers.
The last decent thing he's written is
'The Gunslinger', which didn't have
much of his 'style', which includes at
least one drunk, plenty of
bloodletting, swears, and some corny
town in Maine.

 Ever read Catch-22?  Now that was a
funny book. Looks like Douglas Adams
borrowed heavily from that book and
Vonnegut  in his style.

 Thomas Harris is good, I recommend
'Red Dragon' and 'Silence Of The
Lambs', both great thrillers.

 I like Clive Barker's short stories,
ie: The Books Of Blood volumes, and a
few others like the Cabal collection.
His shorts are really packed and vivid.
But Weaveworld by him, was about 500

I've read most of King's novels up to the Gunslinger.  That was quite some time

ago, though.  You're right, you get bored with the same style that reoccurs in
his novels.

I read primarily science fiction novels -- so, I'm not sure if you'll like the
choices I'm about to suggest.

First off, my first two top choices would be Isaac Asimov's Foundation series
and L.Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth.  Asimov has some interesting concepts
and an easygoing writing style.  I know L.Ron Hubbard has a bad reputation for
his Scientology crap and the fact that he makes millions when he's dead.  But
that didn't change my opinion of his science fiction.  His Battlefield Earth
saga is one whopping long story -- 1000 something pages.  And another series
from him that I heartily recommend is Mission Earth, all TEN volumes.  It
combines science fiction and satire.  Extremely funny.  It has an interesting
viewpoint -- the villian.  Try the 1st novel and see if you like it.  The first

novel is named "Mission Earth: The Invader's Plan" (or Book #1 <grin>)

Other novels I've tried are Greg Bear, Robert Heinlein, Harry Harrison, Tom
Clancy, blah blah blah.  I've read quite a few.

I don't call it weightlifting anymore.  I've chosen a more suitable name:
"Painlifting."  Go figure...

Since last year, I have gone through "refined techniques."  Most of the
fundamentals that I believed in are still there.  Rest is important.  I have a
completely different weightlifting schedule.  One day, I do the chest and
triceps, another day I do the back and the biceps, and finally shoulders and
legs.  I take a day of rest between Shoulders/Legs and Chest/Triceps.  Every so

often, like about 3 months, I take a long breather, about 1-2 weeks.  The
workout sessions last no longer than one hour and a half.  On the average, I'm
in and out of the gym in one hour and fifteen minutes.  I only take a half a
minute of rest between sets.  This is called high intensity training -- one
suitable for my body type, plus it burns a lot of fat.  Most of these so called

techniqued were gleaned from my roommate last year who was an avid lifter.  It
helped a lot, I'd say.

By the way, the schedule used last year was strictly beginner's.  The one I'm
using now is high-intermediate to advanced.

Yes, I'm still going to RIT.  You've read my "stories" as you go along the
message base.

P.S. I bought one of those HUGE weightlifting books so I could look at the
kinseiology of most exercise movements and change my schedule every month or
so.

Well, personally, I do the hard stuff first, then I do the easy stuff, that
way, the easy stuff becomes hard to do, eh?  No, no, seriously.  The squats
require energy from your whole body, so you should devote all that energy doing

the squats.  Most people wind up undersquatting -- thus they don't get the
workout they need.  The reason why I combined chest and triceps is because the
triceps are important when developing the chest.  When you do a bench press,
the whole triceps comes into play along with the pectorals and anterior
deltoids.  SO, when I finish the chest, I only need to do 2 more exercises for
the triceps to "finish" things off.  Same goes for the back.  The biceps play a

large role in back exercises.

Like you, I have extremely strong legs.  When you said the universal and the
whole stack, what exercise are you referring to?  Calf presses?  Leg presses?
Leg extensions?

Weighlifting, to put it bluntly, is tiring, painful, exhausing, and monotonous.

But, you're right, it's great, isn't it?  <grin>

LEARN THE STUFF!!  Just doing it sounds idiotic.  Sorry if this sounds harsh,

Read some material -- organize.

There are many ways to exercise the calves.  The way you mentioned only got
half of the job done.  There are two major muscles in the calves -- the soleus
and the gastronemicus (sp?).  The gastro muscles make up the large bulk of your

calves -- which was what you exercised with the universal.  The soleus is the
thin sheet of muscle behind the gastrocs.  They only fully contract when your
legs are bent 90 degrees.  The best SINGLE exercise to work both that I've
found is standing machine calf raises.

YOu want to ride a bike fast?  Sorry, you will have to compromise here.
Strenth and mass don't mix with endurance.  Weightlifting is anaerobic.  Riding

a bike at top speed would be aerobic.  Exact opposites.  You'd have to go
through a rigorous training period to get the best of both.  Trade a little
strength for some endurance, or trade a little endurance for more strength.

There is no point, the books were lying around.  To explain this, I need to
give you some background information.. When I was a child I read too much and
watched too much TV (I usually did both at the same time) anyways, I tend to
explain things by referring to a third event... Like earlier you asked me to
point someone out to you and I said "looks like Fred Gwynne"  Now, prehaps the
young lady in question in reality looks nothing like Fred Gwynne, but some
unfortunate aspect of her person brings to mind Herman Munster, thus you hear
"looks like Fred Gwynne".  I was about to answer your question with "You can't
Take it With You"... Not much of an answer, unless you knew that it was a play
written by Kaufman (and Hart? He wrote a lot of the Marx Brothers' stuff with
Hart) and one of the charectors worte plays because six years ago, a
typewritter was delivered to the house by accident.
Now, what the heck were you talking about?

You may hear people in the music industry speaking reverently of "The Book".
This may lead one to assume they are actually very religious people, but "the
Book" is actually a compliation of charts, graphs, and figures showing just
what their ratings are, who (if anyone) is listening to their station, and to
their show specifically.  People are hired and fired by the information in this

book, careers are made and lost, it is a program directors' bible.

There is a seperate list for each age group and metropolitan area.  People
are choosen completely at random, probably a system involving birth
certificates.

The existance of a station that plays heavy metal music is not proof of it's
popularity.  There also exists a station that plays only rap music (I have to
listen to it when I work nights) A station that plays only classical music (but

I can never get it in properly) and SEVERAL religious programing stations.

WEll first of all lets straighten out our presupositions. My Major premise was
that rap conerts were attended by more people than Metal, with rap being a more

popular form of music entertainment based on that fact.

The term garbage was as I said, selective. I'm sure there are a few groups that

you don't like, or perhaps like the music of, but can't stand the group.

For instance, I've never heard much music by Stryper, but I remember seein some

back stage footage before one of their concerts, and this "we Rock for you Lord

Jesus Christ" stuff is just toooo thick for me. Sounds more like a marketing
ploy.

I'm not putting the music down, in fact I happen to like some of it. However
it was published in psychology today (the article being based on a more
apropriate journal) that loud, fast beat sound is deterent to learning and may
cause learning disabilities and a short attention span.

Now as for what the fuck I'm talking about, I could take you down to New York
right now, and introduce you to Anthrax tonight, if they were in town.
You see, they're from Yonkers too, and they jam upstairs at Dante's
delicatessin off Nepperhan ave. I've met their drummer, My uncle's Dante's good

friend, and knows them. Dante is a drummer and jams with them and has done
extensive road work for them. I remember hearing a story of how they were
on tour but insisted on riding around in this Chevy van and then the axel broke

Subject:I disagree
Resp To:1445-Cast Party consists of:

I disagree with that.  Partial reps, in some instances, are more effective than

full reps.  For example, the standing barbell curl.  You can curl it halfway up

and back down, doing this 6 times.  Then curling from the halfway up to the
neck six times.  THIS BURNS and KILLS your biceps, but does an effective job.
This is recommended when you're at a sticking point (when you're stuck and
you're not making any progress).

Now, for the tendons.  If you weightlift carefully and "naturally" (i.e. no
steroids), your tendons will support the new muscle growth.  If you take
steroids, the new muscle growth will cause the tendons to become weak and
"brittle."

Now, as for why weightlifters walk funny, or have arms hanging 2 feet
away from the waist in a lateral fashion... there are a number of reasons:

One: Simply because you're big.  If your back and shoulders are wide, your arms

will move with them.  My arms do that, I can't bring my arms close to my body
because my lats are in the way.

Two: Poor development/proportions of certain muscles.  If you have massive
biceps and weak triceps, the arm will tend to curl because the biceps tend to
tense up easily.  The same for the legs.  If you have underdeveloped hamstrings

and overdeveloped quads, you will literally waddle -- I have seen this happen.

People with MASSIVE quads wind up waddling like ducks.
However, in this instance, calves should be flexed fully and then relaxed fully

-- it's more effective to strain all you've got in the calves rather than do a
half ass job of it.  It's not easy.

 'Gravity's Rainbow' is set in WW2, it

tells how insane war is. It's really
too long to write what happens in this
short space. Suffice to say it's
extremely well-written. Oh yes, a first
print edition of the book is worth
$400. I was tempted to steal one from
my library, but not to sell it, I
really liked it a lot. Now that I think
of it, I didn't read it all, because I
was studying for finals. If you've read
'Last Confederate Widow Tells All',
it's along the same lines, every page
is packed with meaning. Not one word
wasted. Incredible.

 Oh yes, got 'The Jesus Incident', but
haven't started it yet, and the library
doesn't have 'Destination: Void'
either. Also got 'Mother Night' by, who
else, Vonnegut and The Nebula Winners
for '89, I think.

Where did I ever deny someone the right to do something? If they want to rock

to suspect them of trying to make a gimmick if I can substantiate my case.

 You want me to admit that I'm wrong? Do you even know what we are talking
about? My case is still the larger audience for the "rap" music than for
"metal" music,

 A better case in point would have to be the American top 40, supposedly the
most popular hits in the US. Not that I'm saying this institution has any
merit, but most of it is rap related or "pop" rather than metal.

 You may speak for yourself, but don't speak for me please. If you want to
argue your side of the point, go ahead. But don't try such leaps and bound of
logic as you did in that 1st paragraph. It could have followed the same logic
stream as the following statement:

 " Just by having blond hair doesn't mean you know a damn thing about hair.
   I have blond hair, and I don't know squat about hair."
 You could have inserted "eyes" for "blond hair" and "stars" for "hair" in the
major premise (your first statement)
 and then said " I have eyes and I don't know squat about stars."
And by saying thusly are trying to prove that I not only have no such
knoweledge, but lack the ability to do so. And here I am taking Astrophysics at

SMU..

 Not that I'm working for some Hit Parader-esque magazine, on the premise of
Speed Metal, but I happen to know my ass from my elbow.

necessarily a measure of someone's intelligence.


I still think that metal has a much, MUCH larger audience than you give it
credit for.  Rap is still a relatively new form of music whereas metal, in one
form or another, has been around since the sixties.  What about Black Sabbath?

Alice Cooper?  The audience is there, it's just that fans of metal aren't
always so outspoken about their tastes, whereas rap fans seem to talk and act
the lingo of the genre.  If you looked at me, and talked to me, you wouldn't
have any clue as to my tastes in music.  If you got to know me, then you would
find out otherwise.  For every 1 person I find that likes Rap, I can also find
at least 2 that like metal.


Besides, it seems as though most metalheads like some rap, in one form or
another, and vice-versa.  So what's all this argument about.

 Although he directed the first
Hellraiser, which I liked, he only

He's not very  consistent in his books
or movies, for example; Cabal was
portrayed so poorly and changed so
radically from the book, that it made
me sick. The Boston Phoenix did a great
trashing of the film where it wrote all
the parts that would've made the film
much more enjoyable than the way Barker
did it. It looked like a rush-job to
me, also a skimpy budget to boot.

 In his books, I loved Weaveworld, it
was great right until the end. Then you
read his book, The Damnation Game, and
it's so awful you can't believe Barker
wrote it. I haven't read his latest
book, The Great And Secret Show, but

Resp To:1575-Cast Party consists of:

Yes, I stretch before and after the workout.  It has been found that stretching

has no effect on the soreness.  If you're sore -- it means you found a muscle
that got a good workout.  If you're consistent with weightlifting (i.e. good
workouts, don't skip) you WON'T be sore because you're used to the intensity.
If you're sore all the time, even though your workout is consistent, it's a
sure sign of overtraining which means you should cut down.

All in all, stretching is good.  It gets the muscles ready for a workout.  It
prevents injuries, and stimulates growth.

Resp To:1569-RAP !!!

I will begin with the good,

 you made some very good points in that statement, although I still disagree as

to the numbers of followers of each core group, you do have a point that not
all likers of metal music wear concert t's black denim and engineer's boots,
and true, I know several rap fans and metal fans that like music from the
opposing genre. There is a mild mannered (although a bit strange) man at work
who is an avid Alice Cooper fan, and he appears down right normal.
 Another good point is the fact that Sabbath and the Coop have been around
since the sixties, where as Rap began to pick up around 1979-1980, although it
had its roots in the disco era and the early 70s, like Rapmaster Mili Mel (no
relation to Milli Vanilli, unless he's their Dad, he's real old now.)

 One thing I would like to know your opinion on is the different 'tastes' of
metal and if you consider what I've heard called such, as such.
 I.e. "glamrock" such as Poison and Motley Crue. ZZ Top is defined as 'Metal'
because someone defined metal as being a group that lacks a keyboard and gets
its drive soley from guitar and percussion. Motorhead, I think their appearance

would scare ANYONE out of the music industry, and finally, Metallica and
'speed metal' stuff.

 However, when you go places like other countries it has astounding effects on
you. Travel invariably broadens the mind, and NOT trying to call you narrow
minded, you should travel to a non-english based country. It is very strange
and a little helpless when you are in the center of a busy city square and you
know that you can't communicate AT ALL because everything's in Danish.

 WHO is this 'one other person'. and If I talk about my major so much, preytell

me WHAT it is?  I gave up trying to impress people in gradeschool when I
learned the game, and that's that EVERYONE's too busy to notice you because
they're either too bust trying to impress others or too impressed with
themselves. The mention of astrophysics wa an attempt at an acurate example,
if I had known you would prefer it, I would have said "textile technologies"
which is something I know little about.

By the By, Bud, going to UMASS and getting on the INTERNATIONAL NETWORK doesn't

mean you're getting EDUCATED.

Why don't you take your headphones off (ooooo a nasty stereotypical stab) and
get outside of Massachusetts for once (?) in your life before you suffer from

Point well made.


As for the different styles of metal, I basically like them all, but I do
strongly disagree to what is metal and what is not.   Metallica is metal.  ZZ
Top is not.  Motley Crue used to be metal.  Now they are not.  Iron Maiden is
metal.  Electric Boys or Winger or Skid Row or Poison are not.

I like the guitar.  I like the way it sounds, it's versatility, it's
variations, and so on.  Hence, I like just about any band that uses a guitar to

some extent.  Some days I get the urge to play Stanley Jordan or Johnny Winter
all day.  Other days, it's Metallica.  "Whatever scratches the itch," so to
speak.  The reason that I am into metal so much, regardless of what you may
think, is that it is a greatly underrated form of music that is just now only
beginning to get the radio airplay that it deserves.  I am not one of those
people that think that once a band gets airplay, they've sold out and are now
below me.  No way.

My current favorite arists:
1.  Iron Maiden
2.  Anthrax
3.  Living Colour
4.  Public Enemy
5.  Joe Satriani
6.  Steve Vai
7.  Mr. Big, mainly Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan
8.  Metallica
9.  Over Kill
10. Scatterbrain

Wow.  That's the first time in a long time that I've done that.  Every one of
those bands has a completely different sound, and it is this diversity that I
like.  But then again, collectively, these bands don't have over 50 albums,
maybe not even 30.  That leaves a lot of room for other artists in my
collection, especially when my collection numbers over 500.



BTW, that other user is, of course, Marpessa.


As far as being educated, I may not act it, but I am.  It's now summertime, and

with my vacation  fast coming to a close, I am not thinking or acting educated.

My brain goes in the shop every college break for repairs and maintenance.
And, the only reason that I brought up Bitnet and all the other nets is that I
like the idea of telecommunicating with people around the world.  It's also a
great way of talking to my friends that go to school around the country for
free, without the hassle of a ld telephone call.

Having watched one half of one Twin Peaks episode in your entire life, you are,

of course, qualified to question my suppositions, but Rhonda is presently in a
comma, she disappeared the same night Laura did, they found Laura dead, and her

wandering around in the woods, she'd been beaten, raped, and was suffering from

exposure.

Actually, I know she "worked" with Laura at one eyed Jacks, and her and Leo and

Jaques and Laura were all together up at the cabin that night, but I don't
think one thing has much to do with the other.  They were into a lot of that
stuff.

'Swing the Heartache'. The lead singer
is Peter Murphy, also in thhe band are
David J and Ash from Love And Rockets,
possibly the drummer too. It's 'Gothic

song. I like most of them, find the
rest interesting. Um, Crowded House's

'Skylarking'. Police 'Zenyatta

I have all of Prince's old stuff, except for dirty minds, and the album he did

Your ring sounds beautiful.  Uh, I can't think of a nice way to ask (it
certainly is a noisey question,) but, how come you're still in possession of
it?  Isn't it customary to return an engagement ring if you break off an
engagement?  Though, I know if they give it to you on a "special occaision"

Yes, they're ridiculous.  Audrey could not possibly have shot anyone, she's
tied to a chair at One-Eyed Jacks, most likely about to get shot herself.
(An interesting side note -- As if there wasn't enough evidence that Laura
worked at One-Eyed Jacks, and worked the night of her death ----- therefore,
wasn't necessarily killed by a man ----- then watch Audrey, she's tied in the
same manner the forensic expert described Laura being tied).

The person who might be on the right track is the one who basically said
"Duhhhh", but he (?) did mention that maybe Andy did it because he's the least
likely person.  (Andy, who "dropped" his gun at exactly the right moment as to
warn the one-armed man; who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn; drops Jaques

Reneiu (sp) in a amazing display of marksmanship right out of an old Western).
