     Rossow on  Self-Control : 
    A person who is afflicted with a temper, but controls it on all but rare_and
    righteous_occasions, is better fitted for leadership than the person who, due
    to colorlessness of personality or a vapid disposition, is incapable of
    losing his temper. A controlled temper makes for power; an uncontrolled
    temper dissipates power.

     form were a mere four pages. In 1955, that had
     quadrupled to 16 pages. By 1985, it had grown

Charles Wehringer / ======================== / thu.May.20010531 / ======================== From Western Mercury : Recently a legislator in Norway recommended Fidel Castro for the Nobel Peace Prize. It praises the macho-man at a time when the raging debate in Scandinavia is that men should be forced to eschew urinals and employ sit-down toilets like women, lest the very thought of men uncritically employing the Vespasian as nature decreed offend sensitive feminists-- and lead to "male triumphalism" among the new generation. Quite a contrast from my experience in Antwerp at APL94 : Antwerp is a < < ancient > > party port. Arriving Saturday afternoon, I consumed much of my 6 hours' jet lead sampling my capacity of the reported 330 brews, each in its proprietary goblet, with some of the locals at the Cafe Breughel near the hotel. ...

Saturday , I got to the closest thing to a Rave I`ve ever been to . At the Webbitown event wednesday Judith Levitt aka : Judy Sky invited me to the event at the "Downtown Bar" on the quaint stretch of Pearl St near Maiden Lane . I had happened to stop in , just to check it out , the evening before when it was totally drab and dead ended up with my right pinky painted with Margret the bartenderess`s nail polish . Saturday it was a costume fund raiser for a local auxillary of the http://www.burningman.com/ crowd -- mainly a bunch of white freaks into fluorescence and body paint and video graphics . The walls were draped in mainly metalic fabrics and Judith`s art decorated the ground floor party space .  I think Margret was surprized to see me again I followed a crowd of near a 100 over to the east river for a display of fire eating and spinning . The most impressive spinners were a petite female in a bikini and alien bugeyed head spinning the flames on chains even between her legs , and a guy , fully dressed , who after a number of attempts and adjustments where he ended up sitting on it , managed to bounce high enough to swing the chain entirely under his body while lying down , face up . The bulk of the crowd began heading back to the bar after a NYPD car started hanging around . They didn't interfere tho , at least as long as I stayed . It turns out that Judy and a bunch of the other people involved in the party including a dreadlocked blond musician had first met at my CoSy MidWinter Party with Bernd Naber .

Bob stayed over after also . Also after , Brit Ray Cannon & Ruskii Sasha Skomorokov . Ask Ray for piks .  Held Evening after  evening seminar . In addition to Bob & Ray ,  Mikko from Finland made a round trip from New Haven . Then Bob & Ray & me went to video club under the Manhattan bridge , FUN Eventually , we headed up to Sun Lok Kee on Mott , my favorite 0400 Sezhuan place . Ordering 2 TsingTao , I tried to ask the waiter how to say "two" in Chinese . Totally failed to communicate . At the end of the meal , on the back of my fortune cookie fortune was Speak Chinese : two "er" = I mention this only as an example of how commonly improbables happen . -- Thursday afternoon , June 14 , I was on top of the world . I had gotten the processing of my CoSy web pages in Arthur Whitney`s K streamlined to the point I was restructuring CoSy/Home and the whole CoSy website so that I could present my work triumphantly at APL2001 the following week . I had the taxes and accounts I am responsible for all organized in K and ready to be brought totally up to date after the conference . You can see the level I was approaching from my comments TUE.MAY,010522 and mon.May.20010528 above . I was looking forward to editing and uploading material piled up over months dealing with other responsibilities and grokking K deeply enough to abandon old CoSy`s last use : preprocessing my web pages . I had just changed the center banner at the top of CoSy/Home from the "CoSy/NoteComputing" referencing the old CoSy tech path to "CoSy/Current" referencing these events and commentary , as you can see I have done once again . /20010716.0825 continuing / Under CoSy/Views I was replacing the Travelgate example of the worst of Statist Force & Fraud , with the an uplifting image by my friend and partner Raj , of Free Market  actually HongKong Indian money building 300K$ 2 family homes in East New York .  That image is gone . I had put off tackling the editing of the images of Bernd Naber before and during our Mid Winter Party , and setting up a proper gallery in CoSy/Art for him - until I had the total control over my web interface that embedding K in my HTML now again provides . I will remember in particular , images of Bernd at the audio controls in the entrance to his cubby hole , and laying back in his aerie cantilevered on 2 angle brackets out in audio space .  These images are gone .  Videos of the party mainly by Mark D`Silva , do survive !! /  Also lost : Rich Cooper holding up Kramer by English T shirt @ NY LP convention I had notes on a number of meetings and comentary covering things from the impossibility of Global Warming to meeting Bill Gates Sr. at a panel of self labeled " Responsible Wealth " arguing for the continuation of the Estate tax . It`s not uncorrelated that big Bill Sr. is a lawyer like so many of those of us righteous enough to have gotten there . Tax lawyers stand to lose perhaps more dollars than the government itself . When I explained to big Bill that I was a "bleeding heart" ala Michael Tanner @ Cato Libertarian and asked why he felt that others were so much less charitable than he himself and the Political Class that they must take , by threat of force , half of a family's assets when the parents pass away , for the State's charities , no matter how destructive liquidation of those assets may be . Big Bill , in a practiced lawyerly EoC End of Conversation said that if I were Libertarian , we had nothing to discuss . He would not even try to morally defend his position . I felt so secure in my rapidly increasing productivity , my finally approaching having some product to offer the thousands of eyballs which touch some part of CoSy each week , that I decided to head to Chinatown to lay in some supplies  particularly frozen dumplings , my favorite quick meal . When I got back , I went straight to the kitchen to steam some dumplings on greens . With spasm of clumsiness I dropped a Corning Corelle plate on the tile floor . If Corelle breaks , it explodes . So I spent a quarter hour cleaning up the glass slivers . Finally tonged myself a bowl of now well steamed dumplings  adding black vinegar , seasame oil , soy sauce & Jayanthi's hot sauce and returning to my computer heard it making strange sounds like the disk arm was bashing against its stops . It was down hill from there .
    #This Week I always imagined disks failing when either their spindle motor ( or bearing ) fails or its actuator arm sticks or fails . A mode where both motors stay alive , but the arm just starts sweeping back and forth scratching the disk , I never contemplated . Here is the report .

The current Institutional Investor has an article about the government created energy chaos in California . The Statist babies are having a reality tantrum facing the " I don`t care " of the global energy market . CA's wholesale cost went from 32.20 $ % MegaWattHour in `99 to 224 in `01 . By contrast , my retail costs in NYC , including .04 sales tax , calculated from two comparable sized bills for 9909 and this month , gives : 1000 * 56.79 72.10 % 328 359 />/ 173.14 200.84 / % MgWH , NYC retail This month's bill says the current "market supply price" for the energy 104 % MgWH , having hit 116 last month . The NYC banker , Joseph Fichera , the article centers on estimates all bailout bonds together will add 10$ to an expected 90 $%MgWH ongoing wholesale cost .  Yea , Right . Bottom line , the rate payers in CA will be paying back their ( arrears plus interest ) on top of their forward going market costs . CA's credit rating has been deservedly been dropped to A+-- , penultimate to Louisiana . The II article has devistating quotes . David Nolan and fellow Libertarians out there patiently explaining reality to their Left Coast neighbors should be able to open some minds to : what a patent truth in advertising violation it is to label retail price control : deregulation ; what an obvious absurdity it is that a free market could possibly lead to anything other than very localized failures rather than a state wide catastrophy . I think the one great win for the free market will be that anybody planning or running office parks and larger is now highly motivated to get off the state controled grid . This is a decade of reality facing for the "State" cultists .
