I couldn't agree more.  Another aspect of this is that when these emotions are
suppressed and not dealt with, they still have an influence on you.  You are
still carrying it with you wherever you go.  It's so healing to bring these
aspects of yourself, especially the shadow side of you that you don't want to
see, into the Light of awareness so that you can work with it.  When you know
what is there, and you let yourself sink into it with the intention of feeling
it and releasing it, you can clear it, and in the process you free up so much
creative energy that was locked up in keeping it all buried.

You can allow yourself to feel it and express it without being destructive.
In fact, when you let yourself feel it in all its intensity is when you are
more likely to be able to pinpoint exactly where the anger is coming from,
which again will help you to really clear it.

I had been under the impression that one of the effects of global
warming is a reduction in the temperature differential between polar
and equatorial areas leading to weaker weather systems in between.
weakened (not weekend!) weather systems means continental weather is
less buffered by oceanic reservoirs of heat (and coolness) hence the
central continental summers will get hotter (well everybody's summers
really ;-)) and winters (to some extent could) get colder.

we are seeing much weaker winds in general, says my boss's boss the
wild and crazy wind surfer...our winters have been warmer tho, but
then we are in the wind shadow of all 5 great lakes.  my sister in
kansas city has been complaining about winter lately...

I don't believe clouds are likely to trigger an ice age, however
melting of the greenland ice cap could, by shutting down the transport
of equatorial warmth via the gulf stream to northern eurasia.

am just another crakcpot, probably, but them's my viewpoint.

This is a repost of 6 Oct. posting (revised)...

We at Langley Research Center received news on Thursday, October 2,
1992 that NASA intends to shutdown the following satellites in
December to save about $15M:

     NUMBUS-7

     ERBS

     NOAA-9 (partial?)

     NOAA-10 (partial?)

     UARS (SPRING 1993)

Some of the following experiments that will terminate when
their satellites are shutdown are:

     Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement II  (SAM II)

     Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBS) (3)

     Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II)
     
     Total Ozone Measurement System (TOMS)

     Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE)

     Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS)

No plans have been stated to restart the satellites.

Budget cuts are specified in House Conference Report 102-902
that is attached to HR 5679, Sept. 24, 1992.

	Wrong.  I quoted an article in Newsweek and a four-part 
series in the _Washington Post_.  The net effect of Reaganomics (cut
tax revenues and increase spending -- mainly defense) was the massive
deficits we see today.  The extrapolation was that growth would
have been stronger without the tax cuts -- the latter year ('84-'88)
deficits put a brake on growth.

NAFTA News Summary 
_________________________________________________________ 
NADER, OTHERS DISAPPOINTED IN CLINTON'S NAFTA SUPPORT 

Consumer advocate Ralph Nader and representatives of  
environmental and labor groups said they were disappointed that  
Bill Clinton decided to support NAFTA.  Nader said the flaws in  
NAFTA are so fundamental that they cannot be resolved by separate  
legislation and agreements as Clinton suggests. 

The Sierra Club and the AFL-CIO were similarly disappointed but still  
felt that Clinton would protect the environment and U.S. jobs better  
than President Bush.  "Unlike George Bush, he is willing to link  
NAFTA's successful completion with environmental standards," Sierra  
Club President Michael McCloskey said. 

AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland said union members are unhappy  
with Clinton's announcement but that they would continue to support  
Clinton for president.  The Economic Policy Institute has concluded  
that NAFTA could put as many as 550,000 U.S. workers out of work  
over the next 10 years. 

Former California Governor Jerry Brown, who made opposition to  
NAFTA a major issue in his bid for the presidency, will hold a  
counter-demonstration against the pact today.  Brown said that even  
supporters of NAFTA admit that fewer than 200,000 mainly high- 
skilled jobs will be created from NAFTA, while no one denies that  
low-skilled jobs will shift to Mexico.  "There is no question that semi- 
skilled and low-skilled jobs will be destroyed and people who are  
already on the margin will suffer grievously," Brown said.

Here in South Africa there is an increasing use of minibus taxis - these are minibuses holding 12-16 passengers, which, though licensed as taxis, operate like a cross between a taxi and a bus. They go along more or less set routes and so server areas where a bus service would be uneconomical. 

In my city (Pretoria) the municipal bus service has replaced 80-100 seater buses with minibuses late at night.

One source being tapped here in Oregon is mineral-rich glacial silt,
delivered by truck.  We also have a rock-grinding operation that
delivers special enriched soils.  The farms in Eastern Washington got 
one to five inches of volcanic ash in 1980.  This ash can also be

How can the "experts" determine whether the growth was from the tax
cuts, which would make it a supply-side growth, or from the deficit
spending, which would make it a demand-side growth.  Considering that
California had one of the hottest economies during the 80's and was
highly dependent on government military spending, I am skeptical
that the tax cuts actually fueled this growth.  I think the tax cuts
fueled as much junk-bond takeovers as they did new jobs.

If you think Neil Bush is bad for taking $100K, wait'll you hear this...

Neil Bush secured a $23,000,000 (count the zeroes) grant from the Small 
Business Administration for delevoping mew industries. He took it and 
invested in a number of oil companies on the Gulf Coast and in Texas (new
industry, my foot). He then paid himself $150,000 a year for doing nothing,
and didn't have to pay anything back after he spent all the dough on
cars, houses, and posh offices.

now THAT's family values!
