I agree with the poster, whose name I've just failed to include, that a
topical first-aid ointment of some sort is the way to go, and that you don't
want to hurt the little guy so much that he forgets to like you.

For whatever it's worth, hamsters don't seem to be bothered by Betadine.  I've
treated many a hamster cut with it (our male got badly beaten up by a female
with whom he was supposed to be breeding).

My last posting got cut-off, so i'm gonna try one more time.

The two hour premeire of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 showed on Chicago's
WGN, Channel 9, Sunday, January 3rd at 7pm.  The show will repeat the
following Saturday at 5pm.  DS9's regular timeslot will be Sunday's
at 7pm.  This is what showed in Chicago.  ST:TNG shows on channel 50,
Saturday's at 6pm with repeats on the following Sunday at 10:30p. 

Wow, two hours of ST every Saturday evening.  

I like the show even though i found it a bit confusing.

Hello All!

I am trying to locate databases or archives with information pertaining to
any of the following topics:

     civil engineering
     industrial engineering
     mechanical engineering
     electrical engineering
     process control

I realize that this covers a lot of ground, but if anyone out there can point
me in the right direction it would be appreciated.  I am attempting to 
demonstrate the virtues of the internet to some folks who would be interested
in the above topics.

To which we might say "Amen, brother".

There is just one small problem: how far should we scientists and
science-trained people allow the creation pushers to go?  And is there
anywhere else for them to go?  In Australia, we have a conference area
called "C_VS_E", now echoed into the States, and all such discussions
can be dealt with there.  What other such conference areas are there?
Should there be such a conference area for teachers, where they can
exchange information about creation "science"?

        Nice thought, DR, but the problem is that we who would back
 reason and knowledge have sat idly by for far too long.  If you don't think
 this creationist movement isn't dangerous, perhaps you should do a little
 more reading.  As it is, the American public is toally confused about the
 facts of evolution, so much so that they are willing to accept the nonsense
 of creationism as belonging on an equal footing with science.  It would be
 nice if we could "trash" such discussions, but as long as creationists
 persists in their claims, we should take them seriously and force them to
 prove their statements.  For far to long has science remained silent to
 their ridiculous claims, figuring as you do that they have no power, or
 that they will just go away.  Well, wrong on both counts.  The creationists
 are here to stay.  We should meet them everywhere they may be
 found, stand toe to toe, and expose their views for the fairy tales
 they are.

As someone who does both computer modelling *and* testing with animals
I think I can easily tell you that the computer modelling is *not* a
substitute for animal tests.  I'm working on what would seem to be a
relatively simple and straightforward project--I'm basically trying to
understand how light travels down the axis of one type of cell in the
eye of a fish.  My computer models seem frighteningly complex to the
people that haven't gotten used to seeing them, but they don't come
even remotely close to representing the reality of what's going on in
the fish's eyes.  Sometimes I wish the world was as easy as you try to
portray it above...

>>homosexuality being a result of a brain defect

people will try and convince you different ways, rebekah. what is best
is for you to be open and read for yourself, talk to others, and at all
times be aware that YOU have the responsibility and right to decide
for YOURSELF ONLY what is correct.

i believe sexuality itself scares people--past generations help instill
continuing attitude. (you may expand on that...)

sexuality is a continum with heterosexuals at one end and homosexuals at
another. there are many shades of people in-between. no one way is right.

within the animal kingdom, scientists have found this to be the cases
as well.

>>There have been explanations saying homosexuality is not a choice,
>>but a problem one can not help.

hmmm, a problem??? that is a word of judgement--problem.

keep reading and questioning.remember, bonners ferry is only one

     Hello, I live in the Northwest about thirty minutes from the
Canadian border.  Because I live so far north people automatically
assume it is cooler "up here".  Eleven years ago when I first moved
here the winters were extremely cold with lots of snow.  I have
noticed though with the time passing our winters seem to be getting
warmer with hardly any snow.  Our summers because of this have
become very hot and dry causing many forest fires and a shortage of
warter.
     We are in the middle of winter again and have recieved large
amounts of snow quite unexpectedly.  This has not happened for
sometime now.  My question is, does weather occur in patterns
meaning will we be going back to easy winters in the future?  Will
our summers be cooler because of this sudden burst of snow fall?
Or have we done enough damage to our environment that it is causing
our weather patterns to change?  I know if our weather in the
Northwest is changing it has to be doing the same in other places. 
 
I would really like to hear from anyone who has noticed a sudden
change in their weather.

     My name is Dana Geraths and I am a paleontologist here in Salem and 
I thought I would enter this forum and get the opinion of everyone here 
on a paper I have been writing for the Journal of Vert. Paleontology; 
published by the Society for Vert. Paleontology.
     I am currently investigating the wrist anatomy of the Allosaurus 
atrox to determine if the animal could grasp objects much like we do. I 
am using Velociraptor antirrhopus and Archaeopteryx lithographica wrist 
and finger anatomy as a basis. The Coelophysis bauri and Tyrannosaurus 
torosus serve as controls.
     What is your opinion on this subject? Do you think that the third 
digit could indeed turn in to form a make shift thumb, or were their 
hands mearly used for raking flesh off of prey.
     
     I make my living as a paleoartist for textbooks, magazines, books 
and scientific papers. I specialize in all forms of pre-historic life and 
enviroment, but also work with contempt. wildlife as well.
     My work can be seen in the biology textbook, BIOLOGY 2000 being 
published probably this spring, as well as RANGER RICK magazine, DIAL 
books publications and GEOGRAPHIC WORLD magazine.
     My current request does pertain to this forum, although it is a 
Wanted ad, I think it will fit here and connect to the right people.
     I am try to start a museum of Natural History here in Salem and I am 
looking for scientific specimens to fill the museum. I already have a 
rather large private collection of animal skulls which I use for 
illustrations but what I need I will list below.
     Animal skulls (all types), animal skins (no coats), insect 
collections or other Entomology specimens, fossils, specimens in jars, 
exotic shells or other preserved sea life, old books on pre-history and 
large and small glass display cases.
     I hope to get a sight donated in the near future. Funding is tight 
because this is a private endevour. I also NEED a multi-drawer specimen 
case. If you have any of these items, please leave me a message 
describing the piece and the price you are asking. I will answer 
promptly.
     I hope to hear from some of you very soon.
 
Sincerely,
   Dana Geraths.
