Virginia areas.

Please email to me directly (see below) and I will post a summary.

Thank you for your help !

Can you really?  I know there is a service out there that purports
this, but their database isn't remotely comprehensive and it took me
20 seconds to find a book that I knew of that wasn't in the database.

Is there a genuinely complete catalog on the net?

hi,

the title says it all.  i'm looking for a good
wheel alignment shop that's honest and has good
equipment, preferably in the northern va area 
(arlington, alex, etc) or near bethesda.  one of the
local tire chains tried to convince me yesterday that
camber bolts were needed for my front end.  after 
consulting with my bentley manual and looking at very
even tread wear pattern on my tires, i'd like to get a
second opinion.

any suggestions??

thanks in advance

Hmm, I've tried to do this in a hurry a couple times, I wonder if my
way is slower or faster:  I exit onto Pennsylvania Ave. East and
somehow turn around, head over the bridge and exit onto the SE-SW
freeway (I don't think it's called 395 at that point).  Problem is, I
generally lose a few minutes since I haven't yet found a very good way
to legally get turned around on Pennsylvania Ave.  I suspect one wants
to make the first legal left and then make a U-turn or go around the
block...

It looks like you can do this in reverse a lot easier now, there is a
left turn from Pennsylvania Ave. East to DC 295 (Anacostia/Kenilworth
freeway) North.

OKAY.  ONe more time.  the cats have to be boarded.  the house is being
worked on and it would be BAD for them to stay.  They also hate other
cats  so they cant stay at someones house.  seh wants to be sure they are
safe.  hence. boarding seems to be the answer......

I first noticed this at the intersection of King St and Quaker Ln.  There had
been about 50 Bush, 20 Clinton, and 10 Perot signs up on election day.  The
next day almost all Bush signs were in place, and all but one Perot sign was
gone.  The Clinton signs had been removed.  I continue to see Bush and
McSlarrow signs at various intersections, and I have not seen any Perot or Bush
signs.

As to my being OPEN MINDED, I take this as a personal attack, but will respond
anyway.  I have been specifically looking for signs from both parties, and the
roads I drive on have shown me mostly Republican signage.  I have seen very
little of other signs.

OK shoot.

No, you just think in black&white.  There is no middle ground.  People are

No not evil.  Bad loosers and lazy, maybe, but not evil.

We can and should value all life.  But we should not forget that this
blanket statement includes the honest and hard working citizens of our
country.  I'm sorry that some social-minded activists seem to prize the
life and liberty of those who commit murder (or other violent crime)
above the security of the rest of our citizenry.

Indeed.  But just how much money are we talking about?
I recall having read that it costs about $750K to keep someone
locked up for 40 years (vs well over $2M to execute someone; trials
and appeals are expensive).  I suppose that the $750K figure doesn't
include cost for building the prison though.

Even so, I wonder if a habitual offender, violent or not, doesn't
cost far more than $750K during his lifetime; the cops who (try to)
arrest him aren't free.  Once he is arrested, he will spend some
time in jail, courtesy of us tax-payers.  We will also pay a rather
significant amount of money every time he goes to trial, not only for
court staff but also for his public defender.  If he ends up serving
time, he will get to spend time in prison.  After a while, he will
be up for parole, which means hearings (more $$$).  Once he is paroled,
he will in some cases have to undergo mandatory drug checks as well
as see a probation officer (unsure about the exact term).
Meanwhile, his victims (or their families) will get compensation,
though often from private insurers, not the federal or state government.

I wish I had figures about what it costs to keep a repeat offender
locked up, vs what it costs to keep him on the streets.  As it is,
I can only *suspect* that it costs a lot more to keep him on the
streets.

It would also be interesting to know how much it would take in
preventive actions (in terms of dollars) to keep the repeat 
offender from becoming one in the first place.

I just wanted to take a second and comment on how pathetic my favorite
football team is right now.

It's the end of the first quarter, 14-0 Kansas City. Even if the
unimaginable happens and the Reskins win this game, they have looked
like a high school team so far.

On a simple run fake, every person on our vaunted defense bit and ran in
for the block, except the linebacker who is supposed to have no clue -
Brantley, who is starting his second game.

We just got our fifth penalty in 2 quarters. We suck.

Maybe it's the dearth of Redskin news out here in Berkeley, but....

Don't we still have the second-best record in the NFC East?  There is
only one non-division leading team in the NFC that's ahead of the
Skins (the Saints).  Considering that the OL and LB are badly banged
up, it's hardly surprising the the offense and defense are doing
poorly.  Also remember that KC is hardly an easy opponent, especially
at Arrowhead.  At least we didn't lose to the Packers or the Rams (at
home!).

Yes, the team looked like they sucked today.  Didn't the Bills look
worse in KC last year?  This isn't an apology for a poor game, but I
think it's too early to push the panic button.  If you want to worry,
blame the loss of 4(!) offensive linemen.

BTW, to give you an idea of how bad the paper here is, how's this quote
from Sunday's _San Francisco Examiner/Chronicle_:

"OL Matt Elliott, the last player taken in the NFL draft, may touch
the ball in a game before first-round pick Desmond Howard, the Heisman
Trophy winning WR who has not caught a pass. [...]"

Sure, Howard hasn't yet caught a (real) pass yet.  But didn't he score
a TD on a punt return following a lateral from Brian Mitchell?
Sheesh, these SF sportswriters are *stupid*.
