If the roll is underexposed, there is an excellent chance you can
recover the photos with minimal loss.  If film is overexposed,
there's not much you can do.

I used a place called Foto-Lab in Berkeley, but that was quite a
few years ago.  Another place that does good custom work is
Continental Color in Oakland.

Dr. Stevens is not a gynecologist.  I had a very bad experience with her,
and so did alot of people at my work.

      You might have missed the local TV expose on CLC....they would

      high interest rate loans, and then sue to collect the loans.
      Their so-called "qualification" was that you looked like you
      had enough assets to pay off their atrocious tuition.  

      I can't recall if this was SFO Channel 4 or 5, but if you
      contact their Consumer Affairs division, they might even have
      copies of the programs, they were within the last month or
      so...

      I don't recall them being overwhelmed with the actual content

LEARN SELF-DEFENSE
With the U.C. Berkeley Martial Arts Program

Hapkido is "the way of power coordination," a Korean form of self-defense.
A blend of three fighting styles, Hapkido combines wrist-twsting, kicking
and punching with throwing and grappling.  Pure Hapkido is not a martial
sport but a martial art that emphasizes self-defense in a wide variety of
situations.

Hapkido has been taught at U.C. Berkeley for over 20 years.  Each session
consists of warm-ups, then a practice and learning session with individual
attention, and drills and exercises.  Men and women of all ages are welcome.


Classes meet in the Recreational Sports Facility (RSF) on the U.C. Berkeley
Campus, 2301 Bancroft Way, Room 145.

5:30 - 7:00 pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
3:00 - 5:00 pm Sunday

$60 per semester for U.C. students
$80 per semester for U.C. alumni
$100 per semester for community members of all ages

Your first class is free.

ORIENTATION MEETING: Wednesday, September 2, 5:30 pm

For more information, call 642-3268.


--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--{ * }--


We can add to the above that Hapkido is an enjoyable way to learn self-
defense and meet new people.  Students, staff, faculty, alumni and members
of the general public (of any age) are welcome.

We highly recommend it!

If you want to chat about what Hapkido is like, you can call Stephen
at work before 5:00 p.m. -- (510) 451-4175.

Even if you miss Wednesday's orientation meeting, you can still join
any time during the semester.

Tell the people at the front desk of the RSF that you want to join
Hapkido and they will direct you to Room 145.  The first part of the
meeting will be the promotional ceremony for students from the summer
semester, followed by an orientation and question and answer period.
Wear informal clothing or a martial arts uniform if you have one.

We look forward to seeing you in Hapkido!

Every now and then someone wants recommendations for reputable realtors.
I'm pleased to say that I can recommend my agent wholeheartedly.  I'm
delighted with my new home!

His name is Teal M. Lake, and he's with Cornish & Carey's Mountain View
office.  Teal transformed what would have been a bewildering and
complex process into something easy for me to deal with.  At all times
I was confident that he was representing my best interests.  He suggested
many things that I would not have thought of, even though I've purchased
homes before in Southern California.  He knows the market.

Not only that, but he helped me move my huge heavy sofa in through the
back entrance to my new home, over fences, sprinkler heads, and bushes.
Just goes to show he'll go the extra mile, even through shrubbery. :-)

Enough babbling, but if you're looking to buy or even just thinking
about it, give Teal a call or meet with him in person to see if you
feel comfortable with him.  No pressure, no commitments.  He's
experienced in working with people who don't have much cash to put
down, like me.

  If you look carefully, between all those glaring chain fast 
food places and donut shops, you will find some pretty decent ethnic food.
One of my favorite place to eat in the CSUH area is the coffee
shack on campus across from the Union.  It serves a variety of Middle
Eastern dishes, including a pretty good falafel.  If you have a craving
for a spicy meat and rice dish, you might try any of the Afghan places
along Mission (south of Carlos Bee), including that Afghan/Burger place
at the corner of Mission and Carlos Bee.  There is also a decent Thai
restaurant, Thai Garden, a mile or so north of downtown on Mission,
near Maddux (sp?) road (actually in San Leandro).  There are also a
large number of small Mexican food places, my favorite of which is
Pablitos, on the corner of Mission and D street.  The food there is not
very spicy, however.  For (French-style) cafe dining, try the
A-Street Cafe on A about one block north of Foothill.  From what I 
can tell, Hayward is full of places that have good, inexpensive food 
but look unimpressive from the outside.
   My favorite place in town is Buffalo Bill's brewpub on B street just
west of foothill and across from Lucky.  I recommend the stout if you
are in the mood for a liquid lunch.  It closes early, though; last call
is at 10:30 on weeknights.  While you are downtown you might want to
have a look at the creeping segment of the Hayward fault, which runs
north-south between Mission and Main streets, under some doomed
unreinforced brick buildings (one of which has been recently retro-fitted).
The effects of creep along the fault can be seen most easily by
sighting along the curbs of the east-west streets in the area (B, C, D
streets).  Looking east from Mission, the curb will appear to take jog
to the right about 1/3 to 1/2 the way up the block.  Also, note the
fractured sidewalks and the en echelon cracks in the pavement.

I've had some dealings with Western Cabled Systems because it's my
only cable choice in the apartment where I live.  As far as I can
tell, WCS is a marginal operation and not a competently run business.
For about the same cost, I had many more good channels and much better
service from the municiple monopoly in Mountian View.

One Sunday morning last winter I turned on a baskeball game and got an
unwatchable picture.  I found several of the VHF stations were
unwatchable, but most stations were coming in fine.  I called their
service number, which turned out to be an answering service where the
operator is instructed to tell the customer to call back during
ordinary business hours.

I was already peeved because they had just raised their rates citing
an increase in their cost for WGN, even though they don't offer me
WGN.  This brush-off inspired me to write a crabby letter to them.  A
few days later I got an angry-sounding message on my answering machine
from the president of WCS telling me if I still had the problem, I
should take a day off from work so I could wait around for a customer
service representative to come by.  By then the basketball game was
over, so I dropped it.

The size (ie., VHS) of the tape is standardized, the format in which 
it is written may be different in different countries.  Power has 
nothing to do with it (other than to make me wonder what camcorder
runs off of 220v. -- most seem to have a battery pack with 8-12 volts).

You don't say where you were in Europe.  If you were in England or
Germany (and other countries) then the tape is probably recorded in PAL
format (assuming that the camcorder was designed to be used in that
country).  If you were in France then the format is probably SECAM.

Look in the phone book for video places which mention converting 
PAL or SECAM to NTSC (the US standard).  


If you just want to re-use the tape in your VCP, push it in and 
press the little red button.  No problem.

Has anyone heard of the "Deputy Sheriff's Assocation of

I got a phone call from them about a "Family Variety

They were selling tickets for the show.
I regained enough sense to not give a credit card #
on the spot.  I got them to mail me the stuff instead.

Now I want to make sure these is legitimate cause.
The invoice says the show is sponsored by the
"Deputy Sheriff's Association of Santa Clara County,
Political action Committee  #871251".

I don't want to donate money to a PAC that I know virtually
nothing about.    The invoice also says something about
"Your support helps the Deputy Sheriffs' Assocciation of
Santa Clara County publish and distribute this life
saving manual.  You are a true friend of law enforcement".
But I thought I was helping sick kids, I don't even know
