Hi all,

    OK, I've been trying to learn about locksmithing for several months now
with little success.  How does one learn to pick locks?  Several people have
replied that the best way is to simply get some picks and teach yourself -
great, but I can't seem to purchase any equipment without a locksmith ID of
some sort (I'm still unsure of how this works).  Do I need to attend a
locksmith school?  What do they cost?  Where can I find one (I checked the
yellow pages).  If it makes any difference, I'm located in St. Louis, Missouri
and I'm a law student at Washington University School of Law - so I'm not
looking to turn to burglury anytime soon :-)  I'm just curious and think it
would be a nice trade to know (I am but a sponge for information).

any help would be appreciated,
-William

I hate keys.

I am looking for a combination lock for my home front door. On my travels I 
have come across a Lockwood mechanical combination lock that looks a little 
like this:

   +-------+
   | 1   6 |
   | 2   7 |
   | 3   8 |   <---- Mechanical pushbuttons
   | 4   9 |
   | 5   0 |
   | X   Y |
   | Z   C |
   |  ___  |
   | / | \ |   <----- 'Retract the bolt' type knob
   | \_|_/ |
   |       |
   +-------+

All the combination locks I have seen so far are electronic and not are not
at all solidly built. This one seems different, it looks reasonably solid.
Can anyone tell me how well (or just how) these things work? 
I have read the discussions about locks where five or so buttons stay 
pressed in until you turn the knob. This one isn't like that - the buttons 
go click when you press them and spring right back out when released.

email replies are more than welcome.

Bob, this is not correct.
AT&T doesn't own or run the 800 directory assistance.  Its a "service"
of Southern Bell, and its done for profit.  Anyone with an 800
number, no matter who the carrier is, can be listed as long as
they are willing to pay the fee.

  Well, comparing with some HPC brand equipment in the Kenco catalog,
the "Novice Pick Set" ("Contains 11 picks, tension wrenches and a broken 
key extractor.  Made of clock spring steeel, tempered to the right
hardness.  Comes in a cowhide leather case."  I can't tell from the
picture if the "11" is just picks or the sum of the items - I guess it
is the latter.)  The price is $15.25.  A better set the "Deluxe Pick
Set" of 16 items come in a nice shirt pocket size 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" 
full zipper case, which is that size when folded over and zipped.  
It is $27.30.  Either of these would be an excellent choice to learn 
with, and to keep for later use. HPC's "Pistolpick" picking gun is 
$29.95 with a leather holster at $9.95.  There also is a handy 
"Warded Padlock Pick Set" of 5 items for $8.40.  This works well on 
the laminated and other padlocks which have keys shaped like:

---------|
|        |_______  _________ __________
|                ||         ||         \
|                _          _
|        ________||_________||_________/

  HPC is a very good brand of locksmithing tools.

This question has probably been rehashed before so I apologize in advance.
	Picking the old key master locks is no big deal.  I have tried my hand
at some of the key locks that are brass and usually without success.  These can
be Best locks or Tiger locks (which were my only success and that was after a
while of fooling with it), and the one one I am currently perplexed about is
one that appears to have the letters TCC where the Cs are backwards and in some
block-fancy style written. So it almost looks like T)) if those parens could be
backwards Cs.
	Anyway - are there any technique suggestions? Maybe picking it rather
than raking it or something?  Thanks.

     For those of you looking for a place to buy lockpicking sets, I figured I'dmention a place down the street from me that sells pick sets and picking guns.  It's called the Spy Store, and run by a company called Privacy Products.  The 
address is 5337 E. Colonial Dr., Orlando, Fl.  I'm not sure if they do any mail order business or not, but you might want to try.  They do seem pretty expensiveto me.  Of course I've never seen pick sets anywhere else to compare with.
(About $40-$50 for pick sets and around $100 for a pick gun, if I remember 
correctly.)  That's where I got mine from,  and it seems to work OK.  I've 
just kind of taught myself how to use it, so I'm not great with it, but I've
gotten to where I can consistently pick my car and apartment locks, but I haven't had much luck with deadbolts.  Oh well, this might help someone out.

	I heard that many MASTER combination lock can be picked quite easily
by pulling down slightly while turning then number until you feel only one
number that stuck.  Then add 5 to that stucked number.  The rest is easy.
	My question is does it also work for other combination brand when
do the same precedure as described above but instead of adding 5, maybe some
other number.

So there are "felony" and "misdemeanor" sins now.  *Use* of "drugs" is a
felony, but *ABuse* of alcohol or tobacco is only a misdemeanor.

Last night I attended a rave where they were selling "smart drinks"
that contained DMAE.  Can someone tell me what this compound is?
Chemical structure and physiological effects would be appreciated.

Also, lately a club opened up in Salt Lake City called the Vortex --
they sell "think drinks" that contain L-phenylalanine, acetylcholine
and "guaranin"(sp? -- some kind of Amazonian plant extract).  Some of
the drinks also contain some portion of caffeine; they really got me
up and jumping on the dance floor, but I don't know wether to
attribute the buzz to the caffeine or the other ingredients.

The really interesting thing is that after I had been dancing for a
while, I went and got a beer (the only one I'd had for several hours)
and then went back on the dance floor.  The effects of alcohol had
never been more prominent!  I was missing the beat and stumbling a bit
to music I had just been in complete syncrhonization with about 20
minutes earlier!!

Having a large number of orgasms over a relatively short period
of time can cause the pain you describe -- or has in my experience.
Try soaking in a hot tub as therapy.  What you are experiencing
may well be the result of muscle spasms -- something to which I've
been prone -- and a relaxing soak can clear things up fairly
quickly.  The water should be hot -- not scaling, obviously.
Do this for a few days and see if the symptoms disappear.

I would point out that you wouldn't be surprised to be have sore
muscles or odd pains after playing several hours of tennis 
if you aren't used to it, likewise, you shouldn't be surprised
at pains after several hours of sex if you aren't used to it.

Chicago is banning firearms because of the ever increasing murder rate.
Every day people are getting killed and its making the news and
alot of people are very concerned about it.  

The only way to protect your right to own a gun is to find a way to
decrease the number of murders.  Whenever the nightly news interviews
some "expert" on this subject, they always seem to advocate gun control
as the only way to stop this.  You and I know this is silly but the
more this misinformation gets repeated, the more it gets believed.
We still live in a democracy (somewhat) and if the majority of people
feel strongly about banning guns, guns will be banned.  No matter
who you elect to office.

Vote for people who will reduce the public demand to ban guns.  
This can only be acheived through reason and the dismantling of the
drug war apparatus.   Vote for Carol Mosely Braun.

     Depends on how many employers decide they'd like to make the same
requirement. Look at what happened when a lot of companies started
drug testing; it's very difficult to get a job (in some fields) these
days without pissing in a bottle. (Of course, these days, it's hard to
get a job.)

     In spite of the way they trample their employees' privacy,
companies like Blockbuster Video and Coors Brewery thrive. They may
not be quite as bad as the hypothetical example, but they're bad
enough.
