Just what the heck IS a miniroot?

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
The City of Palo Alto, in its official description of parking lot
standards, specifies the grade of wheelchair access ramps in terms of
centimeters of rise per foot of run. A compromise, I imagine...

mar (Mark A. Rosenstein):
I'm doing my affirmations
I'm chanting my mantra each day and night
I'm doing some visualization
Seeing my aura just glowing with light
And I'm breathing real deep, sitting perfectly still
Clearing my mind as I focus my will
While listening to music from Windham Hill
'Cause I want to be enlightened
Each morning I do meditation
I become one with the whole universe
I experience self-actualization
I'm seeing a Rolfer and getting rebirthed
And I've given up sugar, red meat, and caffeine
Wear crystals to keep all my energies clean
And of course I subscribe to New Age Magazine
'Cause I want to be enlightened
Each Monday I go to a channeler
To get some advice from the other side
On Tuesdays I get a holistic massage
And on Wednesdays I meet with my spiritual guide
I'm studying reincarnation
Finding out who I have been in the past
I'm practicing manifestation
In the hopes that I might make some money at last
And I throw the I Ching at least once a day
Burn incense to keep evil spirits away
And I'm planning a trip down to old Santa Fe
'Cause I want to be enlightened
Each Thursday I go to a workshop
On opening up the unconscious mind
On Fridays I see my astrologer
And on weekends I go get my chakras aligned
I'm giving myself validation
I acknowledge myself just for being who I am
By giving up all expectation
I surrender myuself to the great cosmic plan
And I'm giving myself permission to win
Learning to nuture my child within
As I read for the seventh time Out On A Limb
'Cause I want to be enlightened
Don't you want to be enlightened?
Yes we all want to be enlightened!

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
Yes, friends and neighbors, it's arrived: _The Tech_'s series on the
Boston Church of Christ, the culmination of five months of research by
your humble correspondent. Stake out Lobby 7 and reserve your copies:
Tuesday, Oct 17 --- Friday, Oct 20 --- Tuesday, Oct 23 --- Friday, Oct 27
In my next spurt of Copious Free Time, I'm going to try to get this tale
sold to a professional magazine. If you have any comments, complaints,
addenda, rumors, or any sort of feedback, send me e-mail or send the
Tech a letter, so I can get the story right the next time around. This
goes double for anyone who's an active member of the BCC. Remember,
friends and neighbors, silence implies consent.
If you feel that an assertion I make in these articles has no evidence
behind it, I can dig out my on-the-record notes, interview tapes, back
issues of the BCC bulletin, etc., to provide more substantiation. Alas,
there's only so much I can fit into 160 column inches.

swmpthng (Tim Stellmach):
The number of decent chairs not yet stolen
from building 66 has stabilized at three.

tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
Then said Almitra, Speak to us of Love.
And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there
fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:
When love beckones to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind
lays waste the garden.
- from THE PROPHET,
