I asked them to turn the front disk rotors while they had them off to
replace the
clutch.  Their price? $95.00, the same as a full brake job.
Most shops charge $5.00 per wheel to do this!

Team Continental will hold a driving school on Oct 9&10 for road or race
car drivers. The school consists of a class room session on Friday night
followed on Saturday by a track day. The school is open to any licensed driver
18 or older. You don't have to have a race car, 90% of student cars
are usually street cars. During the Saturday sessions, you will be 
able to drive at speed on the race track. The cost of the school
is $95 and there will probably be a barbecue afterwards.

For more information call Greg Bell @ 503-690-1870 or send me 
email: jmess@pdx.csd.mot.com 

If you send me your fax number I can fax you a registration form which 
contains additional information if you are in the local Portland area.

Paraphrase:  There have been widely diverse opinions on the new Swagat
Indian Restaurant in Beaverton.

We went there Friday night at 9:45. (They only serve until 10 pm, contrary
to what someone posted before.)  Our food was quite good.  We were in the
back room and there was a steam table there not in use (except to hide the
boom box which was playing Indian music).  Our waiter said they have been
quite overwhelmed by the crowds.  They didn't expect so many at first and 
are still getting used to the kitchen.  He has come up from one of the
other ones in California.  My guess is that their food will be somewhat
inconsistent for a little while.  But certainly in the evening when we
were the last to order, the food was fine.  I'd like to hear from the table
of 15 or more that were there from Intel (or so the waiter said) and left
shortly after we came in.  They were almost all Indian themselves.

I'm not going to complain:  there are so few good places on the West side
if you don't like hamburgers and steaks.

I agree on this point.  I have never eaten from a steam table that was more
than mediocre (ops, except brunch at Sun River).  Unfortunately it is 
difficult to get large numbers thru at lunch without one.  Also unfortunately, 
many Americans prefer mediocre food (especially if it's cheap).

I've checked out the professional costume shops, and besides there not being

We need to find a good home for Misha.

Misha is a one-year-old, smallish, grey female with medium to long
hair, and the vet says she's in fine health.  She's very friendly and
cuddly and she has all the best domestic cat traits: looks cute,
purrs, knows how to use a litter box, doesn't scratch the furniture,
etc.

Our original cat had seemed lonely cooped up in our apartment all day
by herself, so we adopted Misha from the Humane Society a few weeks
ago as a companion.  Unfortunately, the first cat -- who's always been
friendly with the local neighborhood cats -- has taken a *strong*
dislike to Misha: hisses, growls, attacks, and everything.  We've
tried everything, but my wife and I have decided that it just wasn't
meant to be.  They're both very good kitties, just not together.

We feel awful about the situation, and want to find Misha a good home.
We owe her that much at least.  So if you're thinking about getting a
cat, or know someone who is...

Uh, not to put too fine a point on this, but why would they have the rotors
off already for a clutch job? I mean, would they even have the front WHEELS
off?

Since I saw a lot of interest in Indian food, I thought of forwarding the
mail with the ftp site details.

**********************************************************************
I have collected a large number of Indian recipes off the network
and compiled  it into the form of a book called

	"The Graduate Students Guide to Indian Recipes"


	This is available for anonymous ftp from

wpi.wpi.edu
130.215.24.1
(Remember to use the binary mode to get both these files)
**********************************************************************
PLEASE DO NOT MISUSE THE ANONYMOUS FTP FACILITIES PROVIDED BY GOOD
HEARTED SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS. PLEASE FTP ONLY BETWEEN 7PM AND 7AM EST.
*********************************************************************

These recipes are in the form of a postscript file and in the form
of a LaTex file. I do not have the time to convert it into
an ascii file.

Here are the instructions to get a hard copy of the book (for those
of you not using Unix, you are on your own. Catch the local system
guru or the system adminstrator to help you)

a) indian.recipes.ps.Z
	This is the postscript version of the book.

		% uncompress indian.recipes.ps.Z
		% lpr -Pprinter indian.recipes.ps

		where printer is the name of your postscript printer.

b) indian.recipes.tex.Z
		This is the LaTex version of the book.
		% uncompress indian.recipes.tex.Z
		% latex indian.recipes.tex
		% latex indian.recipes.tex
		% latex indian.recipes.tex

Not a bug, you need to do latex thrice to get the table
of contents right and page numbers right.

The remaining steps vary with your system. The
sequence is to convert the file indian.recipes.dvi
into a format which can be printed on your printer

This is a possible set of events

% dvips indian.recipes.dvi -o indian.recipes.ps
% lpr -Pprinter indian.recipes.ps

where printer is the name of your postscript printer.

DISCLAIMER: Try these recipes at your own risk!!

		Data-Parallel Programming on a Network
		    of Heterogeneous Workstations

			   Michael J. Quinn
		       Oregon State University

ABSTRACT:  
We are convinced that the data-parallel programming style has many
advantages over the more primitive programming paradigms embodied in
commercial MIMD languages.  Our past research has described the
implementation of data-parallel languages on multicomputers and
multiprocessors.  In this talk I will describe how we modified the
multicomputer-targeted Dataparallel C compiler and run-time system to
enable us to run programs on a heterogeneous collection of UNIX
workstations.

BIOGRAPHY:
Michael J. Quinn is an associate professor of computer science at
Oregon State University.  He received his Ph.D. in computer science
from Washington State University in 1983, and from 1983 to 1989 he was
an assistant professor at the University of New Hampshire.  He is this
the author of two books and numerous research papers in the area of
parallel computing.

It's Periodicals Paradise and the address I have for them is 3430 SE
Belmont Street.   That might not be exactly right, since they seem to be
consolidating from two small stores into one big one across the street.
But it's around 34th on Belmont.  Signing is pretty terrible, so you'll
probably drive past it (particularly at night).  Phone # is 236-8370.

They've got a good pretty good racket going: they buy for a nickel in
cash or a dime in trade and they only want issues from the past year.
They then sell them for 25% of cover price.  So a $3 magazine costs you
$.75, but they paid $.05 cash (at most) for it.  Of course if you were
to buy that particular magazine from the publisher direct, it'd cost 
you $7-8.

They do with magazines what Michael Powell does with books: sell them
overseas to people who want English books, but can't afford new.  I
stopped at the store in 1987, back when they'd just opened, and they
were shipping a carload a month to the Phillipines.  They're now
shipping to 8-10 countries around the world.

They seem much stronger on traditional magazines (Time, Playboy, Cosmo,
etc.) then on esoteric magazines, which is too bad.  But it's a good way
to spend some time on a rainy day.

I hate to give away my cat, but since I have to move soon, here goes..

Sinead is 2 years old, and has long silky grey hair.  She loves to sit
on your lap, or by your side on the couch, and will run there if you
pick up the newspaper, and she thinks you'll be settling down for a
bit!

She is fixed and has had all her shots.  She will bring a nice covered
kitty litter box with odor control filter, a travelling box for trips
to the vet (or mother's house), a food bowl and a water bowl.  She will
also bring her favorite food with her.

She is named Sinead, but the only similarity she has to the musician is
her beauty.  She's got lots more hair.

It can't be hard to find a reason to not contribute to just about any
organization . . .

 Salvation Army? I don't want my money going for a bunch of silly
 uniforms and bible-thumpers.

 Sisters of the Road Cafe, Burnside Community Center? If those bums
 didn't have a warm place to sleep and free meals, they'd get jobs.

 Kidney Association? Let somebody else pay those useless PhD's to do
 their pointless research.

 Boy Scouts? I don't need to add to what's been said.

 No problem. You name it, I'll give you a reason.

Are you guys finding *any* causes worthy of your hard-earned time or money,
or does *no* organization qualify? (If a church is the only one, have you
looked into how the money is spent and how much gets to those who really need
it?) Are all these objections real or are they just rationalizations to
justify not sharing a bit of your fortune with your fellow humans? Think
about it.

I have a longstanding grudge against United Way myself, going back to my time
in the military. We *had* to contribute a significant part of our small pay
($82/month when the average was around ten times that). Since then, I have
real problems with their method of getting employers to intimidate employees
into giving. But along the way I got convinced that they reach a lot of
organizations which do real good (IMHO, and I guess that's where we differ)
and many of which can't afford to raise their own cash. So I grit my teeth
and turn in my pledge card with a goose egg, then quietly contribute to them
on my own. They ain't perfect, but if you want to help people who need it I
don't think there's a much more efficient way. Of course if you don't want to
help, it doesn't make any difference what you think of them. I just hope you
excuse-makers never end up on the receiving end. If I found out that my
contribution was being spent on you, it might change *my* mind about United
Way.
