Why Your Car Won't Get Remote Software Updates Anytime Soon
kjbullis (3545517) writes "When Toyota recalled over two million cars last week because of flaws with antilock braking systems and other problems, the fix was simple—a few software updates.The implementation of that fix is far from simple. Every one of those cars has to be taken into a dealership to have the new software installed, an expensive process that can take months. Cars that haven't been fixed could, in some cases, suddenly stall and crash.There is an alternative—the same sort of remote software updates used for PCs and smart phones. Indeed, one automaker, Tesla Motors, already provides what it calls "over-the-air updates," which allowed it to execute a recent software fix without requiring anybody to bring in their cars.
But other automakers are dragging their feet, both because they're worried about security and because they might face resistance from dealers."

The issue has sold 13,232 copies since going on sale on July 19, according to data collected from 1,420 retailers by sales tracker MagNet. That was slightly more than double the magazine's average sales in 2012.
The Tsarnaev cover with the title, "The Bomber: How a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical Islam and became a monster," ignited widespread backlash for being insensitive.
The Boston marathon bombings on April 15 killed three people, wounded more than 200 and led to a frantic manhunt that left a police officer dead.

The photo itself, which showed a tousle-haired, thinly-goateed Tsarnaev staring straight ahead, was also criticized for seemingly glorifying him.
CVS (CVS), Walgreens (WAG), 7- Eleven and Stop & Shop were among the retailers who announced they would not sell the Rolling Stone issue to customers.
Rolling Stone defended its decision to feature Tsarnaev on the cover, saying the cover story "falls within the traditions of journalism and Rolling Stone's long-standing commitment to serious and thoughtful coverage of the most important political and cultural issues of our day."

Paleontologists Found What They Were Looking for….NOT!
Posted by jlwile on December 12, 2012
The Cambrian Explosion presents a serious headache for evolutionists. After all, the fossils found in Cambrian rock are supposed to be about 540 to 485 million years old. However, when you look at the complex animals preserved in such rock, you find every major body plan that exists in today's animals. Worse yet, when you look in layers that are supposed to be older than Cambrian rock, you don't find the supposed ancestors of these complex animals. Evolutionists have desperately tried to explain around the problem, but so far none of their explanations work.In 2004, a ray of hope appeared. The journal Science published an article claiming to have found animal fossils that are 40-55 million years older than the Cambrian fossils. They also seemed simpler than the animal fossils found in Cambrian rock. These simple animals were called Vernanimalcula guizhouena, and the authors thought that they helped to mitigate the evolutionary headaches caused by the Cambrian Explosion. As the authors state in their paper:1
The morphology of Vernanimalcula demonstrates that the evolutionary appearance of developmental programs required to generate a multilayered bilaterian body plan preceded the entrainment of the growth programs required for macroscopic body size. Furthermore, the organization of these fossils, taken together with their provenance, indicates that the genetic tool kit and patter formation mechanisms required for bilaterian development had already evolved by Doushantuo times, long before the Cambrian. Therefore, the diversification of body plans in the Early Cambrian followed from the varied deployment of these mechanisms once conditions permitted, not from their sudden appearance at or just before the Cambrian boundary.
So these fossils showed that the Cambrian Explosion wasn't an explosion at all. Instead, simpler versions of the complex animals that appear in Cambrian rock existed previously, and the Cambrian era simply represented a rapid diversification of a basic body plan that had already existed in a simpler form.
Of course, like many evolutionary propositions, once this claim was thoroughly analyzed, it was shown to be utterly false.
A recent paper makes the compelling case that the "fossils" called Vernanimalcula guizhouena are not fossils at all. Instead, they are the effects of mineralization and do not have any biological origin. The authors conclude2
There is no evidential basis for interpreting Vernanimalcula as an animal, let alone a bilaterian. The conclusions of evolutionary studies that have relied upon the bilaterian interpretation of Vernanimalcula must be called into question.
The paper goes a step further, however. It says something very important about the nature of science and how scientists can be fooled by their own personal desires. The authors quote one of the paleontologists involved in the 2004 study, Dr. David Bottjer. In a 2005 article he wrote for Scientific American, he said:3
We had come to Guizhou in 2002 to hunt for microscopic fossils of some of the earliest animals on earth. Specifically, we were hoping to find a bilaterian.
The authors then go on to say that it's not surprising that the team found exactly what they were looking for. In the end, if you really want a fossil to exist, you will find something that looks like that fossil, whether it is real or not. The authors' comments reminded me of something I read two years ago. Dr. Esteban E. Sarmiento (a primatologist) wrote a commentary about Ardipithecus ramidus in the journal Science. This fossil is supposed to be a part of the evolutionary lineage of people, but Dr. Sarmiento is rather skeptical of that interpretation. After giving the reasons for his skepticism, he ends his commentary this way:
… it is curious that in a century-old race for superlative hominid fossils on a continent currently populated with African apes, we consistently unearth nearly complete hominid ancestors and have yet to recognize even a small fragment of a bona fide chimpanzee or gorilla ancestor.
I wholeheartedly agree. Like Vernanimalcula, the interpretation of many African fossils as members of the supposed human evolutionary line is heavily influenced by paleontologists' desire to find a human ancestor. In order to do good science, however, we must fight the desire to force the data to conform to our preconceived notions.
Now please understand that this is a problem for all scientists, not just evolutionists. When we go looking for evidence to confirm our views, we tend to find such evidence. If we are to be good scientists, we should avoid that situation. Instead, we should put the evidence first and follow it wherever it leads.

Do tell. I don't have the leisure of responding to you when you want me to. So, you'll just have to wait for it. But my questions do show how qualitatively different Rooker's article is compared to Cargill's. Cargill does use the text – it's all we've got – but he does not use it for a discourse on sin. Cargill is Christian btw.
Cargill is not in error about the flood narrative being two different stories woven together, with different details about the same simple matters from each story. They are contradictions. Your cheap harmonizations are in error. As for the sources of the water, Cargill was simply assuming that no supernatural events happened to cause the worldwide flood. If you wish to believe that God used supernatural events to cause water to move from the oceans to over the land, or from some unknown sub-terrainian source to bubble up through the earth's crust, that's fine. But don't pretend for a minute you have any evidence for either of those occurrences. AiG's article is pure speculation.
Now going back to this comment.
Okay, a misunderstanding (or error on my part, if you wish) on source criticism and Documentary Hypothesis (DT). You are right, source criticism is not falling out of favor. All biblical historians agree that the Genesis flood story is made up of different sources woven together. The DT goes further, not just labeling the different sources J, E, D and P, but assigning the dating of those sources to specific periods in the history of ancient Israel. However, those periods have no attestation from any source or method from outside the Hebrew Bible itself. It is circular to use the Bible to date hypothetical sources within the Bible. Luckily for me, another excellent post on this exact topic has been written by Neil Godfrey. I highly recommend you (and anybody crazy enough to be still reading this thread) read it and the posts that will follow discussing "Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus" by Gmirkin.
Yes, I googled "comparative religion school" too. Not much there, is there? Unfortunately for you, Gauvreau made a mistake. Gunkel, Weiss, Bousset and Troeltsch were members of the history of religions school. The Catholic Encyclopedia entry on the google search shows that it mistranslated "Religionsgeschichtliche". "Geschichtliche" means historical in German, not comparative. Your scholar Gauvreau made the same mistake. Here's an evangelical site that shows the two schools are different.
It's not an appeal to consensus, it's an invitation to read the evidence! You admit that you haven't read the other side. So, you are appealing to ignorance.
I really can't help but emphasize again that you think the author of 2 Peter, regardless of who it is and what the provenance of the document is, knows that the text of Genesis 6-9 is an accurate historical description of what happened. What is your evidence for believing this to be the case?
My, it will take me weeks to get through all your falsehoods. But to return to this comment: "The Bible Unearthed (a book you claim to be very authoritative when it comes to the Bible)"
To copy your tactics, I never said TBE was "very authoritative". In fact, my quote was "Try reading The Bible Unearthed. Or watch the accompanying video clips". I later provided 4 positive reviews of it. I never claimed anything for it. I would appreciate it if you would stop fabricating my words.
The long quote from TBE you provide is great. The beginning of the bold section is "Thus it seemed…" Hmmm, I wonder why they used this phrase? Perhaps they don't agree with what follows? Here's a more authoritative quote from the online material that appears in the chapter's summation:
"Until recently both textual scholars and archaeologists have assumed that ancient Israel reached the stage of full state formation at the time of the united monarchy of David and Solomon. Indeed, many biblical specialists continue to believe that the earliest source of the Pentateuch is the J, or Yahwist, document — and that it was compiled in Judah in the era of David and Solomon, in the tenth century BCE. We will argue in this book that such a conclusion is highly unlikely. From an analysis of the archaeological evidence, there is no sign whatsoever of extensive literacy or any other attributes of full statehood in Judah — and in particular, in Jeru-salem — until more than two and a half centuries later, toward the end of the eighth century BCE. Of course, no archaeologist can deny that the Bible contains legends, characters, and story fragments that reach far back in time. But archaeology can show that the Torah and the Deuteronomistic History bear unmistakable hallmarks of their initial compilation in the seventh century BCE. Why this is so and what it means for our understanding of the great biblical saga is the main subject of this book."
You: "Since the Old Testament has demonstrated itself to be a historically trustworthy document (even in the eyes of Biblical minimalists like the authors of The Bible Unearthed)". TBE does not argue the Torah "must have been based on a substantial body of accurately preserved memories." Rather, it says the entire Torah was written no sooner than the seventh century BCE and that it contains "legends, characters and story fragments" from earlier times. It is not an historically trustworthy document of Moses, much less of the Patriarchs and very much less of Noah.
As for other OT minimalists, Davies, Thompson, Niels Peter Lemche, et al., they provide ample evidence that the Torah is not an accurate historical account.

I'm hoping to get some help. I'm confused about what is going on with my tomato plants. I have the following: Momotaro, Bush Early Girl, Pink Brandywine, Goliath, and Fourth of July. They are all growing beautifully and appear quite healthy. They all also have had tons of flowers. However, they are not all setting fruit. My early girl has set around 7 tomatoes and one Fourth of July has set only one tomato, which happened only several days ago. None of the others have set fruit. I am in Utah and our weather has not been optimal. It was quite hot for a while (90's during the day and low 70's at night), and then it got much colder (50's during the day and 30's at night) with it bouncing back quickly to 80's during the day and 60's at night for around a week or two. These temperature changes were in May. For the last couple of weeks we have been warm again, with daytime in the 90's and nighttime in the low 70's. I know this is not ideal and so I shouldn't expect much. However, what I am wondering is why there is so much variability in the fruit set. Why am I getting so many Early Girls and none of anything else? They are all dealing with the same temperature, water, soil, etc. I've had fruit on that for around two weeks, and nothing on anything else. So, should I be doing something different? What are your thoughts? Thank you so much for your help in advance!!! |

Tomatoes are very temperature dependent for setting fruit. It may be too hot or too cold, or maybe there aren't bees to pollinate. But I've heard of the temperature problem. I wonder if you could try taking a q-tip or small brush and doing some pollinating, just in case. I also read that watering too much can prevent them from producing fruit. |

First off you don't need bees at all,period. Try shaking the stems of your plants to help release pollen,or brush your hands across the flowers > Humidity can be a factor also,as it clumps the pollen up. Not all tomato plants are created equall,do not grow exactly the same. |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 3:15
Consider the DTM of each variety (Days To Maturity -- not from the time seeds are sown, but from the time you plant out): Fourth of July -- 49 DTM Of course, those DTM numbers aren't written in stone -- just general guidelines (sometimes indicative of the seed- or plant-seller's So you see, your early varieties are the ones which have set fruit. You may think the plant is old enough to set fruit, but it may have a later DTM and not be ready yet. And of course, the weather was way weird. This timeline shows about 50 days from when the blossom opens to a fruit's peak ripeness. So for the plants which haven't set fruit yet, count the days since you planted them, then add 50: how does that compare to the plant's DTM? |

Comstock Resources Inc., Frisco, Tex., reported successful results of its first well drilled in its East Texas extension of the Eagle Ford shale in Burleson County, Tex.
The Henry A No. 1H well, drilled to a vertical depth of 9,514 ft, tested at a peak 24-hr average production rate of 1,267 boe/d (1,023 b/d of oil and 1.5 MMcfd of natural gas). The well had a 6,841-ft completed lateral that was stimulated with 17 stages and 10.2 million lb of proppant.
Comstock has 33,900 gross acres (30,400 net) prospective for oil in its Burleson County East Texas Eagle Ford shale play. Comstock's second well drilled in Burleson County—the Mach A No. 1H—recently reached total depth and will be completed in July, the company said. Locations have been built for the next two wells: the Flencher A No. 1H and the Curington A No. 1H. Comstock has plans to drill 10 gross (9.2 net) wells this year on its acreage in this new play.

INVASION OR LIBERATION DAY OF GOA - A.Veronica Fernandes
Today on this date in 1961 when I was a young boy schooling at Escola Primaria de Abade Faria in Candolim the ancestral village of Abade Faria where his house is still existing next to our Portuguese School, the Bharati Government of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru under the command of his Malyali defense Minister Krishna Menon sent military and invaded Goa and annexed it to Bharat.
This was done in the name of liberation. The impression given by Nehru Government to the world was that Goa was liberated by the locals. It is not correct. Goa was forcibly annexed with the help of Bharati mighty military power by Nehru. Local anti-Portuguese elements had no guts to overthrow Portuguese from Goa. Many of the so-called freedom fighters were fake and rogues. In the name of fighting Portuguese Government in Goa, they were robbing innocent Goans including school going students from Arpora and Guirim. One of the main headquarters of rogue and criminal freedom fighters was at Assagao Bardez under the direction of one MGP stalwart. The villages of Arpora, Anjuna and Siolim in Bardez were ripe of this type of robber freedom fighters and when Portuguese Police force started to hunt them for committing robberies and murders on innocent Goans they were fleeing Goa and taking shelter in Bombay and other parts of Maharastra. Later on many of these robbers came to Goa and with the help of MGP and Bondodkar started claiming the status of Freedom fighters. When I asked one of them the reason, he replied "because I am not interested in Bharati rule nor Portuguese rule, both rules are rules of corrupt and rogues. I am only interested in Tamrapatra and pension".
For me if I were a freedom fighter undergone imprisonement under the Portuguese rule, I would never accept pension because I would consider my job as sacred which has no compensating power on this planet. I would consider my work as freedom fighter as non-commercial and not cheap which could be purchased by a few thousand rupees of pension. I would rather starve than to accept the commercial value of my work in the form of pension. By accepting pension I would be making a joke of my work which is really supreme and none could evaluate its worth. I would treat my work in freedom movement as work out of high ideology, unpurchasable, uncommercial and uncompensative. The Bharati mighty military comprising about 18 thousand military force marched over Goa and easily outnumbered around 5 thousand Portuguese military, majority being Portuguese soldiers while negligible number being Goans. No direct and open resistance was given by the Portuguese military to Indian Army, they surrendered easily and collapsed like a pack of cards except at Aguada where little firing was done by the Portuguese Military but ultimately they also surrendered. As a punishment, all the military personnel at Aguada where stripped of their clothes, tied to each other and kept in the hot sun on top of the plateau above Aguada jail. As news spread, some of the Portuguese soldiers were physically assaulted by the Bharati military personnel. From one source the news spread that some of the Indian Military personnel were hunting for Portuguese ladies possibly the wives of top Portuguese military personnel to rape them. As a metter of interest non-Goan Indians are crazy after white skin ladies and precisely for this reason they are coming to Goa in the form of tourists for hunting cheap hippies. I don't find it difficult to believe because Indian Military has got this dirty habit like that of Iraqi Army of raping the women of invaded countries. Indian Military did this dirty acts in Bangladesh, they did in Goa, for this reason the village Pe. Vigar of Candolim Church stopped Novenas (Salve) in the evenings leading to the feast of Nossa Senhora de Esperanca. The Novenas started on 18th December but when news started circulating the Bharati Military personnel went on rampage of raping Goan women here and there, the village Pe. Vigar, Pe. Nicholau Noronha who was then a great Goan nationalist and anti Portuguese but pro-Goan, stopped the evening Novenas (Salve). I was a choirboy that time and during the evening Salves, I was one of the 5 young boys doing the singing role of "ANZ".
The Portuguese had to leave from Goa is a sure fact, either yesterday, today or tomorrow but surely we did not want them to rule over us. But neither we wanted Bharati Portuguese in the name of liberation. The father of the nation Gandhiji was not in favour of forcibly annexing Goa. He did not like to use force in uprooting Portuguese from Goa. He was of the opinion that either today or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow Portuguese will have to leave from Goa and that day was not far, Gandhiji was sure about it. Another great Indian leader and later on Prime Minister of India, Morarjee Desai was damn against Nehru's decision of sending Military to capture Goa. Morarjee Desai wanted Goans to start the revolution of liberating their Goa from Portuguese rule and he was sure Goans will do this without the help of outside force. Even I myself at a later stage would involve in telling Portuguese to leave Goa peacefully and leave our land in our hands. The then Goan Brahmins and Bhatkars never did this type of hard talking forcefully, on the contrary they collaborated with Portuguese, some of them doled their wives to Portuguese officials to get better facilities for them to control Goan commerce, mining and other commercial ventures. Some of them later on joined together to invite Governador Vassalo e Silva (last Governor of Goa) to Goa.
On this day in 1961 there were demonstration in praise of Indian Millitary but most of the people involved in these demonstrations were communal in nature, they were shouting slogans Jai Hind meaning according to them, Hindu Raj, they never knew what is the meaning of the word Hind and how it came into being. For these idiotic minded communalists, Hind means rule of Hindus only. They thought Goan Catholics and Muslims were pro-Portuguese and they only were pro-Bharat. These scrap Goans later on joined hands with Dayananda Bandodkar in the name of Bahujan Samaz under the banner of Mahrastrawadi Gomantak Party to merge Goa with Maharastra. They have done injustice to Goa and Goans, they tried to kill Goan identity by acquiring everything non-Goans. They were not genuine Goans, their ancestry and roots are somewhere in Shivaji land. We as young men fought against their ideology while in Goa and helped finishing of MGP in Goa. Now in place of MGP another similar but worst party is developed in Goa in the name of BJP. The present generation of young men and women must fight and work hard to finish the influence of BJP in Goa. MGP and BJP are both communal and the members of these parties are giving distorted image of Christians dubbing them as anti-Indian and pro-Portuguese. They must know that Christians were and are more patriotic for Goa than others. Christians have done greater service for Goa by campaigning against Portuguese rule in Goa. Overwhelming majority of Goans campaigning from Bombay against Portuguese rule in Goa were Christians. The first Goan to campaign from outside India against Portuguese rule in Goa was Christian from Navelim Salcette – Dr. Francis Luis Gomes. He had unique distinction of raising the voice of Goan freedom from Portuguese Parliament itself and from there he went to France to raise the voice of Goa's freedom. He was proud not only to be a Goan but also an Indian when he openly declared in Europe saying "I have come from the land that gave to the world the epics Ramayana and Mahabarata and invented the game of Chess".
In the post 18.12.61 Goa there is lot of developments in Goa, which one must be bold enough to admit but on the other hand the pre 19.12.61 character of Goa has totally finished from Goa. This was because of the corrupt non-Goan influence implanted in Goa by the arrival of dirty, cunning, crook, traitors, robbers and criminals from outside Goa. They are raping genuine Goa, they are destroying true Goa and in the bargain they are converting my genuine Goa, my true Goa as any other state of India where corruption is rampant. It is a pity that the present generation is not raising its voice forcefully against this non-Goan influence in Goa as they should. Our elders after voicing their dislike on this attitude died and gone but their places have not been suitably replaced. The current generation and coming generations will turn into just any other citizens from any other places in India. Many of our genuine freedom fighters seeing the corruption and terrorism perpetrated by many of the gangs in Goa are repenting for fighting against Portuguese rule in Goa. They have admitted to me personally that it would have been better if Portuguese been to Goa still. They admitted that they lost control of Goa after 1961. One of them even once told me that he would like to commit suicide but I prevented him. This was the disgust of some of the genuine freedom fighters of Goa who fought against the Portuguese rule in Goa to convert it into a golden Goa but to their regret my land finally got converted into corrupt Goa. God alone save Goa from extinction as Goa.
While concluding let me quote the great intellectual son of Goa the late Fr. Mendonca the then principal of Arpora School when he told the students in the class " On 19.12.1961 Goa was not liberated but Goa was invaded by Indian Military ". And by the way, in the subsequent period when the Supreme Court deliberated on this topic, what epic judgement the apex court passed? That judgement never used the word "liberation".

The entire relationship became politicized as a consequence of the imprisonment of former Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko and her former Minister of Interior, Yuri Lutsenko, which is viewed as politically motivated, with Ukraine's leadership also being accused of eroding democracy in the country. In fact, there is hardly a single area these days where the EU and Ukraine cooperate which is not becoming affected by this politicization one way or another even if it is counter-productive to the EU's own interests or those of the region. An example of this is Ukraine being politically sidelined in the negotiations for a settlement of the Transnistria conflict, an area where Ukraine has always played an important and traditionally constructive role.
EU leaders decided to put on hold the Association Agreement and Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA), which Ukraine and the EU spend almost five years negotiating and which was initialed earlier this year, until Ukraine improves democratic values. This approach has been labeled by its architects as "tough love". There seems to be a belief that by leaving Ukraine to stew, it will increase the chance of a successful outcome, although this approach is certainly not shared by all member states which fear the consequences of increasingly pushing Ukraine away. I would say that by putting the association agreement on hold the EU missed an opportunity to bind Ukraine to the EU. Thereby this strategy could lead the EU into a dead-end, reducing its influence on Ukraine's decision-makers and pulling the carpet from under Ukraine's reformers. In fact the signature of the association agreement is in the strategic interest of the country and should be seen as a tool to help modernize and transform Ukraine. Ditto for the DCFTA which at first glance may look less attractive than Russia's Custom's Union which would immediately give Ukraine economic benefits including cutting the price of gas by almost 50%. However in the longer term the DCFTA will be more beneficial for Ukraine including making the country more competitive on the world market.
Interestingly, having to pay more for gas has actually forced Ukraine to begin to give more focus to diversifying its energy resources as well as start to take steps to modernize its energy sector, in order to save money.
Signature of the AA and DCFTA has been supported by all Ukraine's political forces, including the jailed Mrs. Tymoshenko. However as time has passed broad support from the business community has started to drip away. This is in part a consequence of a proactive campaign by Russia, criticizing the DCFTA and flagging up the economic benefits of its Eurasian Union as a better deal. As far as I am aware there has been no communication campaign from the EU side flagging the benefits of the DCFTA. This is another indicator of the EU's somewhat "take it or leave it, it makes no difference to us" approach.
Unfortunately the EU's approach is starting to affect Ukrainian society as a whole, which has now become a sort of hostage to the situation. One of the latest examples of this was the decision of the European Parliament to refuse to ratify changes to Ukraine's visa facilitation agreement with the EU, until after the 28 October Parliamentary elections.
The conduct of these elections as well as the pre and post-election periods are viewed as a litmus test for democracy in the country with Ukraine's further EU integration heavily tied to the result. Ukraine's leadership has declared it wants to do everything to make sure these elections are free, fair and transparent; meanwhile the united opposition, as well as a number of civil society organization, cites numerous problems from vote buying to media restrictions. In order to have a clearer picture, Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Konstantyn Gryshchenko, invited more than five thousand international short and long term election monitors to assess the situation. He is also now travelling to EU capitals to try to convince his counterparts that the EU's wait and see approach is counterproductive. At a recent roundtable on EU – Ukraine relations in Vienna he stated the best way to deal with all of today's current challenges in the troubled relationship is by positive engagement.
Meanwhile, First Deputy Prime Minister, Valeriy Khoroshkovsky, who is responsible for EU Integration, has asked a number of independent NGO's including the Soros Foundation to hold an independent Media Monitoring mission to assess the media access of all candidates. This mission was launched last week and is expected to produce regular reports on the ongoing electoral campaign.
Current polls, from a number of different sources, show the Party of Regions is presently leading with some 26-28% of the vote with the United Opposition trailing slightly behind with around 23%. While polls in Ukraine are notoriously unreliable, the fact that the United Opposition seems to have focused their campaign primarily on complaining about Ukraine's current leadership rather than spending time on explaining their policies, particularly socio-economic ones – combined with the fact that Ukrainian's are rather fatigued will all political figures, could have contributed to the current outlook.
Quite frankly nobody is expecting these elections to be perfect, which is a shame given that Ukraine has carried out a number of free and fair elections in the past, as well as being the only country in the EU's Eastern Partnership to carry out a peaceful transfer of power. Yet at the same time nobody expects a total disaster either. And the fact that these elections are proving to be so competitive is a positive point and at least demonstrates that the country is not an autocratic dictatorship as some like to claim. Yet the period after the election will need to be monitored particularly attentively as regards the formation of the new parliament, etc, because this is the time when a lot of horse-trading and funny business could take place.
Apart from holding free and fair elections, the EU also demanded that Ukraine put an end to political justice and get their EU reform process back on track. Ukraine's leadership claims, something that was underscored by Khoroshkovsky at a meeting with think-tank representatives during his visit to Brussels earlier this week, that the recent criminal procedural code reform, means the law under which the Tymoshenko and Lutsenko charges were proceeded, has been done away with, with a new criminal procedural code starting in November. In theory this should mean no more such cases should be expected. He also stated that Ukraine would respect the ruling of the ECHR on the Tymoshenko case. Let's hope this will be the case.
After a long period of inactivity Ukraine has relaunched its reform process, something that has been confirmed by the EEAS. Yet, it is something of a mixed picture. While there have been positive steps such as the new criminal procedural code, which used Council of Europe recommendation, other initiatives such as the recent Prosecutors law, which was rushed through without any consultation with Council of Europe, was a total flop. Ukraine needs to focus more on the quality of the reforms rather than the quantity. Moreover, many reforms fall at the first hurdle because of the corrupt state of Ukraine's judicial system which needs a total overhaul, something Khoroshkovsy said would be a priority after the elections.
And while some steps had been taken to improve the business climate (customs, VAT reimbursement), Khoroshkovsky admitted that a number of difficult problems remain including law enforcement bodies pressure on business, corruption in judiciary, overregulation. Implementing the DCFTA would help to push reforms in these areas.
On visa, while there has been a slowdown in progress as lawmakers have focused their attention on the elections, some outstanding pieces of legislation necessary for implementation of the EU visa action plan have been adopted, including for biometric passports, personal data protection, fight against discrimination. The second hearing for laws on biometrics, personal data protection and legal status of foreigners is expected in October. If successfully passed the first chapter of EU visa action plan will be closed.
Yet Ukraine keeps shooting itself in the foot. The case against TVi for example and more recently the crisis over the defamation law. The law, which has the potential to seriously harm freedom of the media in Ukraine, was adopted last week in the first reading. It causes a massive outcry in the country and was subsequently recalled.
Sometimes Ukraine is a difficult country to understand, particularly when it comes to it politics and there can be no doubt Ukraine's leadership has dug itself into something of a hole. To a large degree the ball is now in Ukraine's court, and it is in Ukraine's interests to cooperate over EU concerns. Yet at the same time the EU also needs to act in a proactive and responsive way. The EU has a responsibility to the people of Ukraine to support the country in its transformation, yet unfortunately until now the EU has been using long-term strategy in order to obtain short term results which has clearly not worked and, which could eventually lead to an implosion in the country. It is time for the EU to develop a real strategy for its engagement and relationship with Ukraine.
On 14 November it seems EU Foreign Ministers will meet to assess developments in Ukraine, including the election result and the conclusions of the OSCE and other international monitors. It still remains unclear to what extent the ongoing imprisonment of Tymoshenko and Lutsenko will play into the EU's eventual decision; whether there will an agreement to sign the AA or whether it will be left to gather dust. There is a lot at stake and the outcome of this meeting may prove crucial in defining the next chapter in EU-Ukraine relations.

The news is either good or bad, depending on where you sit, when it comes to potential snow crab supplies for 2006. Though quotas won't be set until early in the year for the Canadian snow crab fishery, if trends of the past couple of years continue, crabbers in Newfoundland and Labrador may be facing another reduction in total allowable catch, though stocks in other Canadian crab fishing grounds appear more stable.Still, supply should remain plentiful and any reductions in Canadian snow crab should be more than offset by the increased catch limits in the Alaska fishery. And because virtually all of the product sold is frozen clusters, buyers can expect a consistent supply throughout the year. Since April, prices for 5- to 8-ounce clusters have been at $3.35 to $3.50 per pound; 8- to 10-ounce clusters at $3.55 to $3.65 per pound. Michael Karppe, director of seafood purchasing for Red Lobster, doesn't expect prices to change much, or to return to early 2005 levels, which were based on "over-inflated prices to the boats" that led to losses by traders and processors."There was a lot of overhang of inventory [early in the year] due to high prices paid to boats, and then when the new season started, the bottom dropped out of the market," he says.For the coming year, prices should hold steady. "With Alaska now setting a quota above what it was last year, I would expect it to remain stable, that is unless we get some announcement out of Canada this coming March that is a shock — but I don't expect that," says Karppe.The vast majority of snow crab sold in the United States is Canadian. Of the 80,000 metric tons of snow crab harvested in Canada in 2004, 49,000 were exported to the United States, only a little less than the 51,000 metric tons in 2003. The total Alaska catch pales in comparison, at roughly 12,000 metric tons per year in 2003 and 2004.Early this year, wholesale prices for snow crab were $1 per pound above current prices, or in the mid-$4-per-pound range. When the Canadian snow crab fishing season got under way in April, few boats took to the traditional fishing grounds off northern Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. Canadian crabbers were protesting a new provincial production system that spread the quota among all the processors. While the processors were waiting for new product to come in, they were still trying to get rid of 2004 inventories, which the processors purchased at relatively high ex-vessel prices. In 2004 the per-pound price processors paid fishermen reached a high of $2.47 and ended the year at $2.26 per pound, according to data published by the Fish Harvesters Resource. The result was a wholesale price of more than $4 per pound for frozen clusters.Tom Whiteside, national accounts sales manager for Southstream Seafoods in Warwick, R.I., says that high a price for 5- to 8-ounce clusters simply can't be supported in the market. "Once you get that high, you lose a portion of the market, particularly the Asian market, which is very price conscious and will find other products to substitute," says Whiteside.When prices were negotiated for the first landings of 2005, the ex-vessel price had fallen to $1.60 per pound and fell rapidly to $1.39, where it stayed until the season ended July 30. The result was a return of wholesale prices in the $3.30 to $3.60 range.Meanwhile, the Alaska snow crab resource continues to rebound. A recent report from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game shows that stock levels in Alaska waters increased 68 percent in just one year.As a result, new quotas — along with an expanded snow crab fishing season — have people hoping for even higher catch limits in the future. The Alaska snow crab harvest may never return to the heady days of the late 1990s, when harvests were up to eight times greater than they are today.Nonetheless, the quota for 2006 was raised by nearly 85 percent over 2005 levels, to a total allowable catch of just more than 37 million pounds, up from roughly 20 million pounds in 2005. Other changes in the fishery management plan for Alaska snow crab include moving to individual fishing quotas (IFQ) and lengthening the season from its traditional month beginning in mid-January, to a season that runs from October 15 through May 15 in the Bering Sea and to May 30 in the western Alaska fishing region.The longer season and the new quota system should eliminate what has traditionally been a derby-style race for crabs, says Arni Thomson of the Alaska Crab Coalition. "We think that this will help stretch the season out, which is geared to the biological season of the crab. We may eventually be able to establish new markets for the crab based on this," says Thomson.Whatever happens in the future, it is not expected to have a big effect on the main market for snow crab, which is almost entirely frozen clusters.Thomson didn't expect many Alaska boats would head out to fish for snow crab at the season opener, and only a few were expected to start Nov. 1. "Most people feel the crab is in better condition later in the year," Thomson says. "But we will have some boats doing some experimental fishing in November to find out the condition of the crabs."That makes sense to Karppe, who expects that much of the Alaska snow crab catch will still come into processors in January, when processing of other products has died down. "If it is a temporary workforce they need for snow crab, [the longer season] won't necessarily be easier for the processors, who will want to bring in the labor for a very short time. "I don't expect to see Alaskan crab until February."Product standardsIt's a good idea for snow crab buyers to develop a set of standards for the product, including color and appearance, and to find processors who can meet these standards. Buyers should check for short weights, and net versus gross. Also be on the lookout for product that is not sorted properly, with good product packed with bad in the same box. Also look for broken crab. "Sometimes, with a 30-pound box, the top will have beautiful crab, but when you get to the bottom there are 2 or 3 pounds of broken crab pieces," says Karppe. "We have set a standard of no more than 3 percent broken. [The crab] is very brittle and I think the industry standard is about 5 percent."

Charest dehors! On va te trouver une job dans le Nord
On April 30 striking students did a snake march in downtown Gatineau so as to keep up the pressure on the liberal governement. The main slogan of the march was addressed at Jean Charest who was told to leave and work would be found for him up in the north, a reference to his joking with the business leaders at a promotional event for his 'Plan for the north'. He ridiculed striking students demonstrating outside, saying that perhaps they could find a job up north. Riot police beat up students during this demonstration. During the snake march, some of the participants stayed behind when it proceeded to the provincial court because of the conditions they received following a mass arrest on April 19.
Jean Charest's destructive Plan Nord
This is an old, familiar story: exploitation of natural resources and aboriginal lands by mining interests, under the pretense of consultation, economic development, and protection. But Jean Charest's Plan Nord is stupendous for its scale, for the level of government involvement, and for its influence on other governments in Canada.
Québec Hydro Project/Plan Nord spark huge protests
Jean Charest just announce the North plan, with lot of big buck, many of those developpement append to be in the cree and inu territory which also mean problem ahead!

I am having the same problem. I tried removing all printers from the control panel and trying again. sounds the same as joeychan...
This is what I tried and experienced: 1. Brand new PC which is Dell Inspiron 64bit with Windows 7 and only 4 days old. 2. With printer off and disconnected, started the Lexmark driver install program. 3. The driver installer instructs me to connect and turn on the printer (and the installer won't continue until it detects the printer). 4. Almost instantly when I connect and turn on the printer, a windows taskbar popup says the driver install failed and the device won't operate properly. 5. after a few seconds, the Lexmark installer continues and installs drivers, but the printer never works. I assume the instantly installed non-working Microsoft printer driver persists. I then remove the Microsoft drivers and try again with same result. I wish the lexmark drivers would install without requiring the printer to be on. I don't think there's any firewall, but there might be one built into the McAfee preinstalled trial antivirus.... i will try to uninstall the firewall part and try again. |

Was having the same problem getting the Lexmark x7350 on Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, got it working like this:
Downloaded Vista 32 bit driver from Lexmark website. Set file properties for all users to Unblock, Run in Compatibility for Vista SP2 and run as Admin. Paused Norton Internet Security Anti Virus. Installed driver, Plugged in when prompted. Windows barfs about can't install driver, but Lexmark installer continues and apparently finishes without a hitch. However trying to print stalls and viewing printer properties throws errors. The answer is simple, go to the ports tab under Printer Properties and tick the box that enables bi-directional communications. Problem solved. Got that info from the Lexmark website page for this printer. Kudos to Lexmark for publishing this info even though they don't officially support this printer under Win 7 |

Lexmark 7300 series install problem windows 7
I installed drivers from 2 different sources. Driver file cjg7300en downloaded march 2012.
It installs on windows 7 ultimate. Pauses to confirm usb cable plug in. Runs, comes to an end. The printer icon in the "Devices & Printers" panel has a yellow exclamation mark indicating a problem. If I check for the problem in the printer properties it says drivers not installed and comes up with a window to fix the problem but no go. It is for a lexmark 7350 printer. I removed the software. Tried again using the 2nd driver software I had. Both produce the same error. I did read the other problems in the forum, but none with my exact error. Would love to solve the problem. Thanx to anyone that can help. Raoul |

Do you really need the orange in the recipe? Is it just to make it set better or is it required for the acidity (only 2 habaneros in the recipe for 3 lbs of peaches)?
Wondering since I don't have any orange, and I like a softer set, could I skip the 1/2 orange or maybe sub a lemon (not sure how that would taste) or some lemon juice? (Jam for Cold Mornings)
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by work_in_progress_08 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 8, 12 at 8:57
ajsmama - That recipes sounds great. Have no idea about substituting as I am just learning. Where is the above recipe from, and what size jars do you use? Ugh, I don't have a candy thermometer. TIA |
I don't remember the origin of the recipe - found it on this forum. Maybe Carol or Dave or someone who's been around longer than I remembers? I'd do it in standard half-pint jars. No need for thermometer, use the frozen plate test (put a saucer in the freezer, when the jam starts to thicken and you think it's close to gel point, won't be foaming as much, bubbles will be smaller and slower to break, pull it off the stove and dribble a little of the liquid on the frozen plate, then tilt it, if it doesn't move much - depends on your taste how thick you want it - then it's done.) |
I'm pretty sure the orange was used because it complements the fruitiness of the Habaneros so well. There's no reason why you couldn't use lemon, but it won't taste the same (obviously :-) Linked below is an old discussion about this recipe with a lot of tips in it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Peach Jam for Cold Mornings Discussion
Since all the approved pepper jams and jellies always call for some additional acid common sense would seem to indicate that one cannot assume the acidity of the fruit compensates for the lack of acidity in the peppers. So apparently the orange juice plays a safety role as well as a set and a flavor role. Sure you can sub other acids - even vinegar if you wanted to for some reason - but the issue becomes "how much"? Does 1/2 a lemon sub equally for 1/2 an orange? Who knows. They sure aren't the same size. Sure it would do the set part but it would change the flavor substantially and may or may not be sufficient acid. The easy and safe solution is to buy an orange or make some other recipe that doesn't call for ingredients one doesn't have. Dave |
Well, the recipe sounded good, I've been wanting to try it (or some kind of peach-chili jam, I didn't remember/realize that this recipe included 1/2 an orange) for a couple of years, but have 6C of peaches macerating now for the Peach Vanilla Almond preserves we like so much (I only have 4 jars left made earlier this year). Decided to use the rest of the peaches (about 2lbs) in a peach-tomato salsa instead of making a small (2/3) batch of the PJ4CM. Making a 20+ mile round trip to the store for 1/2 an orange (1/3 of an orange? Or maybe another lb of peaches - since I don't have 3 lbs of peaches left? They'd probably make me buy a whole orange LOL) during a tornado watch is not an option. I'm not really fond of oranges anyway. |

I've made that recipe. This is a no-commercial-pectin recipe. Peaches are very low in pectin and without the orange (or other citrus) it would not set beyond a syrupy texture without a lot of cooking (resulting in a caramelized taste). The honey is also a complicating factor as honey at high levels interferes with set (and adds moisture). The honey here is within functional levels and I had no problems with set on this preserve, but I don't know how well it would work if I started fiddling with the proportions. Carol |
Geez, this recipe has been around for at least six years but now, all of a sudden, because ajsmama doesn't want to drive 20+ miles through nasty weather to buy one stupid orange and was wondering if she could use a lemon or leave it out, it's unsafe? "So apparently the orange juice plays a safety role as well..." "...may or may not be sufficient acid. The easy and safe solution is to buy an orange..." No wonder a very respected member said this rather recently on another Gardenweb forum: |
So any recipe that has been around for at least six years is automatically safe? No, you do not mean that. It is obvious that you don't. Just as it is obvious that I did not say the recipe as it is written is unsafe. It isn't. But fiddling with recipes that contain low-acid ingredients and that require the addition of extra acid is unknown territory. And fiddling with recipes simply because one lacks what is a required ingredient in the recipe is another step deeper into unknown territory. Fiddling with it just because you don't like it? How far down that road do you want to go? You want to hike in that territory? Fine. Your choice. You want others to give you a thumbs up as you venture off down that road or worse yet, follow you? No thanks. The weather, the distance to the store, the day of the week, and the phase of the moon, etc. are irrelevant. The point is if you don't have the ingredients for a potentially borderline recipe, you don't make the recipe. And if you don't like the ingredients in the recipe ie: oranges then you don't make recipes that call for those ingredients. Or should we all make scalloped potatoes for supper then we don't have any potatoes and we don't like cheese? And if anyone EVER, even once, read here that "they were going to die a dozen times a thread" then it is very likely they suffered from the inability to read. That or they wanted to can Aunt Tilly's Mayo-Based Potato Salad and Grandma's Tuna Noodle Casserole with Bacon and Cracker Crumb Topping and do it in a BWB just like they did. Dave |

I am aware that on another forum there have been objections to what is perceived by some as an excessive emphasis on safety. However, I can't see any good that would be achieved by delving into that subject. It is a matter of balance, and as Aristotle said, to hit the right mark in the right way and at the right time is very difficult. Personally, while I understand the complaint, given the number of novices who frequent this forum, I think an error on the side of caution is better than the alternative. I don't give much credence to those sorts of comments. Maybe we can just focus on the original question. If ajsmama doesn't mind a softer set she can leave out the orange. There's lots of sugar and high-acid fruit and I don't see that two habaneros is going to change things appreciably. Besides, they're cooked in a heavy sugar solution, which resolves any potential issue. On the other hand, if she wants citrus (it does add a pleasing complexity to this preserve) I think lemon has the potential for an intriguing alternative flavor. If you try it, let us know how you like it. Carol |
Thanks Carol. I did notice a Peach Lime jam in Small Batch (variation on a microwave strawberry jam), thought that sounded good. So 2C of sliced peaches, 1.5C of sugar, and I used the full 2 Tbsp of lime juice (instead of the 1 recommended for peaches) since I was adding a very small Hinkelhatz pepper. I didn't can this, just put it in the fridge. I probably could have canned it, the amount of pepper was minuscule (maybe 1/8 tsp) after cutting off stem end and taking out the seeds. I also cooked it on the stove, probably could have cooked it longer and mashed the peaches rather than slicing them, it is still rather runny. But just tried some on cream cheese and crackers - yum! I would like to add another (small Hinkelhatz) pepper, or use a hotter (habanero) type, could add more lime juice since taste(s) is very subtle. Maybe next summer when we have peaches again I'd try a couple of limes and use the PJ4CM method, but I still think I'd like to cut the sugar to app. 3/4C per C of peaches, and skip the honey and almond extract. I'm not brave enough to leave the pepper seeds in either ;-) |
I just made this. Or I should say I made a variation of it - adapted to use powdered pectin. Used 1 cayenne pepper. OMG. This is amazing. The orange adds a nice subtle dimension to the peach and with just one pepper, it has a bit of a "glow" in the aftertaste. I think I have just found my new favorite jam. I better quickly write down my variations so I can't duplicate it next year. |

4 Nice TV good USB live recording facilityPosted: 12/12/2011I love this little TV it was really easy to tune in and the ability to record live TV onto USB was really useful when the channels choose to put my favourite shows on at the same time. Buttons on front of the display are touch sensitive and what is really useful for a kitchen TV is that the remote is waterproof and comes with a spare battery. Has inputs for co-axial TV aerial and red, white, yellow phono connectors for DVD/games consoles but they are only 1 metre long. In use the viewing angle is quite small but the ability to rotate and tilt makes this less of a problem. Not cheap - but worth the money.
5 Great enhancement for a weak sounding TVPosted: 27/11/2011I was a bit sceptical about this product, as the name wasn't known to me, but I needed a sound system that fitted under my TV that had no trailing wires..This product doesn't have a fancy range of connectors, in fact it only has 2 stereo phono jacks, but with using the other converters (SCART supplied) it was easy to connect the system to my TV. The sound, not boomy enough for a boy racer for sure, enhances the existing TV output to create a much richer and realistic audio experience. Using the throughput sensor thing, once you'd set your speaker volume in relation to the TV then you'll never need to change it as the speaker volume tracks the TV volume.This product is a prefect compliment to an existing medium sized flat screen TV.It's not easy to determine, this device can withstand a 50KG TV placed on top of it.I would be happy to recommend this simple but effective device.
4 Almost Perfect for what it doesPosted: 27/11/2011This is a great system it comes in a nice protective velvet bag the sound quality is great even at high volumes. The only issues are it does not tell you what size SD card it supports(it couldn't cope with 16GB but 2GB works fine) and it is difficult to get the card out.The red metal case is very attractive.

5 Brilliant Idea, well donePosted: 27/11/2011Once charged speakers are completely wireless so can go anywhere in the room. Sound quality is great, can connect to other devices via a cable at the back. Seems very robust. Comes with two pin plug but includes a converter to British three pin o you will need a screwdriver to set it up. Added bonus is that the WiFi transmitter is detachable in the form of a USB stick so you can play music straight from your PC/Mac. Overall something for everybody.

African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church)
African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church)
African American Methodist denomination formally organized in 1816. It originated with a group of black Philadelphians who withdrew in 1787 from St. George's Methodist Episcopal Church (see Methodism) because of racial discrimination and built Bethel African Methodist Church. In 1799 Richard Allen became minister of Bethel, and in 1816 he was consecrated bishop of the newly organized African Methodist Episcopal Church. Limited at first to the Northern states, the church spread rapidly in the South after the Civil War. It founded many colleges and seminaries, notably Wilberforce University (1856) in Ohio. In the late 20th century the church claimed 3,500,000 members and 8,000 congregations. Its headquarters are in Washington, D.C.

APPLIANCE Line Misdirected Directives—Part 2
By Lisa Bonnema, Editor, APPLIANCE Magazine
As with the WEEE Directive, RoHS has left the industry with more questions than answers. Here's a question: when will the European Commission (EC) realize that undefined directives are about as useless as no directive at all?
Lisa Bonnema, Editor, APPLIANCE Magazine
The technical details surrounding the RoHS Directive are excruciating, so I will only highlight the basic issues. Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restrictions on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment endeavors to substantially reduce the amount of hazardous substances used in electrical and electronic devices, specifically lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). According to the Directive, products covered under RoHS are the same as those covered under WEEE, except medical devices and monitoring and control instruments. This includes everything from small and large appliances to consumer electronics and power tools.
The largest issue at hand is that there has been no concentration limits set for determining whether or not such products comply. Yes, you read correctly—there is currently no criteria for determining whether or not products comply with the Directive. Hmmm. So you pass an environmental directive in February 2003—more than 18 months ago—before determining what limits of these substances are "environmentally friendly"? I don't get it. From an environment standpoint, how can you say this will help the environment without researching or determining how much is "too much." And from a legal standpoint, how in the world can you determine compliance?
In November 2003, the EC did propose a legal definition for maximum concentration values of the six substances. In fact, it looked like everyone agreed on the proposed limits, and industry eagerly awaited them to be "passed" at a July 2004 meeting of the Technical Adaptation Committee (TAC). To everyone's dismay, they weren't adopted. (Are you surprised?) Instead, they were passed on to a higher level—the European Environment Ministers—to determine whether or not the proposed limits should be adopted.
Why didn't they pass? In the opinion of Michelle O'Neill, director of Government Relations at Honeywell (Brussels, Belgium), it was because the meeting included representatives from the 10 new member states that joined the EU in May "who knew very little about this issue and didn't feel very comfortable voting on something so technical." However, she adds, that is just an assumption. "We don't know who voted for what or what positions countries took because the minutes are not published, and they are not shared with us, which is extremely nontransparent, and something that industry really has a problem with," Ms. O'Neill tells APPLIANCE.
The only hopeful news is that the limit topic is expected to be reviewed again in an EU Environmental Council meeting scheduled for this month—almost a year after the proposed amendment was originally written.
In the event that the concentration levels are decided upon and are legally added to the Directive, there is still an even greater issue that needs to be tackled: to what do the limits apply and what exactly will authorities test to confirm compliance? Are we talking about housings, components, materials? The EC's proposed concentration limit document uses the term "homogenous material," which is defined as "a unit that can not be mechanically disjointed in single materials." That helps. What in the world is a "unit"?
Ms. O'Neill says that although there is not official documentation clarifying how the EC defines a "unit" (shocking!), there have been indications that the EC wants to define homogenous material at "almost the atomic level." In other words, at the material level as opposed to the component level, which, she says, "would not be workable."
CECED, as well other industry associations such as AeA Europe and Orgalime, are suggesting that first of all, the term be defined so companies know what they should be testing for compliance. (Good idea!) Secondly, they are suggesting that the term "unit" be defined as "the smallest part of an electrical or electronic equipment that can be separated from the equipment by using ordinary tools, without destroying the function of the part when it is removed." This would include components like resistors, capacitors, screws, cable insulation, etc. They are also asking that the term "mechanically disjointed" be defined as "dismantling the unit by simple processes (such as screwing, disconnecting, and/or desoldering) using ordinary tools (i.e., not applying chemicals, cutting, grinding, and/or polishing) without destroying the function of the unit."
Believe it or not, there are even more issues when it comes to exemptions. Companies like Honeywell feel that there is ambiguity within the exempted products (i.e., monitoring and control instruments) that may end up being interpreted differently in national laws. There is also the ongoing "technical review" of certain applications of lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium and whether or not they should be exempt. The EC did allow companies to submit their arguments for exemptions, which are currently being reviewed by a hired consultant. Conclusions of the review are also expected to be presented this month, although no one is holding their breath.
As sarcastic as I may sound, I can assure you that industry—both in Europe and worldwide—are very serious about both WEEE and RoHS. Frustration, at this point, is an understatement. "The problem with RoHS is that the TAC they set up has been moving incredibly slowly, so the lack of progress has been really, really disappointing," says Ms. O'Neill. In fact, not one item within RoHS has been legally altered or defined since it was put into practice.
Furthermore, industry is trying their best to offer their suggestions, but continue to get the cold shoulder from the EC. "We would like to help the member states and the Commission on the technical issues with our technical expertise, but it's difficult to do that when we actually don't see the documents they're working from," says Ms. O'Neill. "Additionally, for many member state environment ministries, RoHS is not a priority."
Last month, the industry went as far as to send a letter signed by approximately 20 CEOs from companies around the world to the European Union, the Environment Ministers, heads of government, and the EC to "impress upon them the urgency to address a number of key issues of WEEE and RoHS," says Ms. O'Neill.
Will the letter help, or will it be another wasted effort by industry?
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I hope you're patient.

I think I just gave myself diabetes.
I am getting desperate, they are going to have to lock me up tonight in case I snap and start mugging trick or treaters!
Honestly today it feels like I am living on air and chicken and cardboard.
I think I may just crawl under my desk and die.
