From The Washington Post:
The Drug Enforcement Administration on Thursday rejected a petition to loosen federal restrictions on the use of marijuana. In making the move, however, the DEA did allow for more facilities to grow marijuana for use in medical research.
While praising the decision to allow more marijuana to be grown, many lawmakers — Republican and Democrat alike — were dismayed at the DEA's determination that marijuana should remain in Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act, the most strictly regulated category.
There has been a flurry of action in Congress at the margins of federal marijuana policy in recent years. The House and Senate have passed legislation preventing the Justice Department from interfering with state-level medical marijuana laws. Just this year, bills have been introduced to broaden access to medical marijuana for veterans, make it easier for marijuana businesses to access banks, and reduce a raft of federal restrictions on marijuana.
[Why the DEA just said 'no' to loosening marijuana restrictions]
Even lawmakers who have been skeptical about the merits of marijuana legalization, such as Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), have sponsored bills to facilitate better research on the drug by giving it a special designation within Schedule 1. Other lawmakers who want to keep marijuana in Schedule 1, such as Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), have been active in the push to find other ways to facilitate better marijuana research.
There are others in Congress, such as Rep. John Fleming (R-La.), who remain vehemently opposed to most efforts to broaden access to medical marijuana.
Lawmakers offered a mix of reactions to the DEA's decision on Thursday. Most praised the move to allow more facilities to grow marijuana for research. But many also criticized the DEA for …

Development in Macclesfield gets green light
June 11, 2018 by Gareth
A mixed development within Macclesfield's Goodall Street secured planning permission recently.
The Goodall Street development will consist of housing and office space. Silkdale Living submitted plans to Cheshire East Council. The proposals received official approval because they have the potential to regenerate the area. Print shops in Macclesfield can be used by firms in the property sector. Silkdale Living's Matthew Gibbons told the Macclesfield Express:
"We will be looking to use local suppliers and contractors as much as possible."
Council officers approved the planning application using the authority which has been delegated to them. Town houses will be built next to a specialist care facility. The office accommodation will measure approximately 3,500 sq. ft.
David Wilcock is an architect who worked on the project. BAND Architects took on the task of designing the building. The idea was that there should be a close fit between the development and the unique character of the place. Nevertheless, the design is contemporary in style and modern construction methods shall be employed.
The housing will feature roof gardens. Goodall Street should have an attractive front when the work is finished. The developers want to maximise the room for living and they are hoping to provide excellent access to external areas.
BAND Architects are working with Silkdale Living on other initiatives within Macclesfield. The enterprises have nearly completed eight buildings in Loney Street.

Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN) is the premier venue for presenting innovative systems and research results related to scientific, technical, and applied potential of immersive learning. The iLRN 2018 Conference Committee invites proposals for half-day and full-day workshops to be held at the iLRN Conference on June 25th, 2018 in Missoula, Montana, U.S.A. The function of the workshops is to provide a setting for focused and intensive scientific exchange among researchers interested in a specific topic. As such, workshops are the primary venues for the exploration of emerging ideas as well as for the discussion of novel aspects, and applications of established research topics. However, preference will be given to workshops whose format includes sessions that facilitate highly interactive discussions. Examples include Q&As, scenario building, trend analyses, debates, panels, or even a competition or a challenge around an interesting dataset. Although all proposal topics are welcome, preference will be given to workshop proposals that focus on the conference special call for cultural heritage and environmental sciences.
Review Criteria
The decision on acceptance or rejection of a workshop proposal will be made on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal and its appeal to a reasonable fraction of the immersive learning community. Other factors, such as degree of overlap with other workshop proposals, or issues regarding logistics, will also be taken into account when making the final decision.
In particular, workshops should address research topics which satisfy each of the following criteria:
- The topic falls in the general scope of iLRN 2018
- There is a clear focus on a specific technology, problem or application
- There is potential to attract a sufficiently broad community interested in the topic
- Potential for future impact
Submission Guidelines
All submissions should be in English via EasyChair as a single PDF file containing the following sections:
- Title and Acronym
- Workshop Type: established/emerging
- Abstract: 200 word summary of the workshop purpose
- Topics: What topics of interest will be covered by the workshop? (Bulleted list; ½ page)
- Motivation (emerging only): Why is the topic timely and of interest to iLRN participants? (One to three paragraphs)
- Workshop Format: The intended mix of events, such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, demos and general discussion (Either a schedule or a one paragraph summary)
- Audience: Who and how many people are likely to attend? (One paragraph)
- Community: Demonstrate that there is a community interested in the topic by providing references for up to six publications relating to the topic (preferably not co-authored by the organizers and preferably published in the past few years). Otherwise, if six such papers cannot be provided, discuss why the workshop will attract submissions. (½ page)
- Chair(s): Name, affiliation, email address, homepage and short (one paragraph) biography of each chair, explaining the chair's expertise for the workshop
- Program Committee: Names and affiliations of potential PC members
- Proposed Length: Half-day or full-day?
We strongly advise having more than one chair, preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the topic, ideally with a mix of both junior and senior researchers. We also advise to have a maximum of five workshop organizers. We welcome workshops with an innovative structure and a diverse program which attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich interactions. Proposed workshops should have a core theme that is much more selective than the broader scope of the main conference. iLRN may reject or propose to merge workshops that overlap significantly with each other (giving preference to established workshops).
Tasks and Common Deadlines for Accepted Workshops
The Workshop chairs are expected to apply highest standards to promote, manage and run the workshop respecting the deadlines and procedure. This includes:
- Preparing and distributing the call for contributing to the Workshop.
- Setting up a quality submission and review procedure following the deadlines in proposal.
- Communicating with the authors, Special Track Chairs and Academic Program Chair
- Keep the conference organizers updated on the status
- Providing a one page abstract to be published with any workshop papers. The abstract must follow the style guideline and include title, name and affiliation of Workshop chairs, background and motivation of Workshop, format, and summary of review process.
Submissions will be made via EasyChair.
Important Dates
- Workshop proposals due: November 15, 2017
- Notification of accepted proposals: December 1, 2017
- Workshop web-site and CfP published: December 15, 2017
- Workshop papers due: February 1, 2018
- Notification of accepted workshop papers: March 15, 2018
- Publication of workshop proceedings: June 1, 2018
- Workshops held: June 25, 2018
All deadlines are all deadlines are 11:59 PM Hawaii time. Please note that these are strict deadlines necessary to comply with the overall conference organization. Later dates can cause severe problems by making it impossible for potential workshop participants to get their Visa on time.
Workshop Chairs
- Daphne Economou, University of Westminster
- Foaad Khosmood, California Polytechnic State University

Downtown Garden Grove?
Those are three words you don't usually hear. In the city that has been known for years as one of Orange County's most heavily residential municipalities--a "bedroom community"--you might get a lot of confused looks if you ask how to get downtown.
But, in the years when a home in Garden Grove easily could have been a farmhouse, there was a downtown district, a blocklong collection of small shops and businesses on--what else?--Main Street that catered to the local population.
It's still there, and it looks and operates in much the same way it did during the 1920s. After a face lift 10 years ago, the street continues to offer a combination of day-to-day practicality and the occasional flight of fancy.

What: Shares of Imprivata (NYSE:IMPR), an IT company primarily focused on security and identity management solutions for the healthcare sector, are on the move today. The company's stock was up about 31% as of 11:30 a.m. ET after news broke that the company is being acquired by a private-equity firm.
So what: Imprivata issued a press release today stating that it has agreed to be acquired by Thoma Bravo LLC, a private-equity firm, for about $544 million in an all-cash deal. That values shares at $19.25 each, which represents a 33% premium over Tuesday's closing price.
Here's what Omar Hussain, Imprivata's president and CEO, had to say about the deal:
We're tremendously excited about Thoma Bravo's investment in our company and believe this transaction represents a great outcome for our current shareholders. Given Thoma Bravo's successful track record in both security and healthcare IT, today's partnership is an endorsement of Imprivata's corporate vision and our relentless focus on the customer experience -- a value which has established us as the vendor of choice in healthcare IT security.
Scott Crabill, a partner at Thoma Bravo, commented on his firm's rationale for buying Imprivata:
The need to combine strong, compliant security technology with ease of access in the healthcare industry is growing by the day. Imprivata is clearly positioned as the strongest vendor in this space and has a unique opportunity to continue to expand its market presence by providing additional high-value products to its customers.
Thoma Bravo currently has about $17 billion in assets under management, so it doesn't look like it will have any problems funding the deal.
Now what: Imprivata has been on the public markets for about two years now, and it has spent most of that time trailing the returns of the S&P 500. Today's pop did push it back into market-beating territory.
A timeline for the closing was not announced, but with shares trading within a few pennies of the acquisition price, long-term investors might want to take a victory-lap by selling their shares today and reinvesting the proceeds elsewhere.

But I loved this Tumblr site so much when I saw it that it overwhelmed my wonderfulness burnout and was just wonderful, period, so I had to write about it: scandybars.tumblr.com. It is cross sections of candy bars.
I love that it approaches the images in a standardized, scientific way. I love that the images burst with detail but are in their larger design on the page very clean and simple. I love that the photos give you what is ultimately a close look at the intent and form of these industrialized food offerings. I love that it's about candy, and that so much of it is chocolate candy. I love that it is about food architecture and textures and ingredients, but also shapes and patterns. I love that the images from certain views become so abstract as well as so anatomical (see that Ferrero Rocher, above! cripes!), and that the whole site is a sort of nod to a catalog of biological specimens. I love that it uses Tumblr well, has a distinct visual style that unifies and that it is not endlessly cluttered with confusing verbal attribution. I love that by existing it kind of slows down the eating process and lets you really see, close-up, what is calling to you at a bigger remove; zooms in on what you are actually experiencing on your tongue and in your mouth when you submit to the candy experience.
There's something mildly genius about it. Check out the site! The photos are much better experienced in situ.

My Dearest Merrell,
I love you. I'm not just saying that. You are one of the best things that has ever happened to me. People thought I was crazy. They thought that it wouldn't last. They gave me the side eye everytime that I talked about you. "Are you serious?" they would ask, "You did it barefoot?"
But, I stood by you and you fit me like a glove. Not only did you make it through almost a year of training for El Camino de Santiago, but by the time we were ready to go, you were like an old friend. And, then! Then, you stayed with me the entire 800 kilometers. When other people were casting their boots aside in frustration, we just slipped right past them with ease.
Ask me if I had a blister? I had one. ONE. And, that was my fault, not yours. We got caught in that rain storm on the descent into Santo Domingo. Remember? That was a rough patch. Lightning and everything. I should have put on a pair of socks before the rain, but I was so comfortable going barefoot. You make it so easy.
Our relationship was built to last. When you got rained on, I stuffed you with newpapers. Heck, I even threw you in a dryer once. You are a champ.
Think of all the places we have seen! The bulls running in Pamplona, that was pretty great, right?
Wow, what a ride! And, then, when we finally made it Santiago? Well, that was sheer joy. We skipped, we danced, we almost collapsed.
I must confess, in a moment of weakness, I traded you in for a skimpy little pair of flip flops for a few days, but they meant nothing to me. When we made it back to France, we continued our training in Biarritz. Running by the beach is so romantic. It was then that I realized that you weren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Merrell, my love, we were meant to be together. Maybe soon we will have another go at Santiago. What do you say? Another 800 kilometers?
All of my love,
Gillian Grant (aka caminogigi)

(I don't have a scanner so I had to take a picture of a picture...lame, eh?)
Tonight I took Oliver out to Colonial Square where they had some Christmas festivities. We enjoyed some hot cider, hot chocolate and then we waited in line so Oliver could take a picture with Santa. I was pretty worried that he would have a fit as soon as I put him on Santa's lap, but I some how managed to coax him into it. I think the trick was showing him how all the kids got treats from Santa. He was pretty happy about that and I was pretty happy about the picture. Next year we'll work on getting him to smile.

New Life League Japan's director, Roald Lidal, just sent me the following exciting news about Messiah Manga's spreading global influence:
1. As of the end of this week we have printed a total of 760,000 copies in six languages -- English, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish, Indonesian and Tagalog.
2. Twelve more languages are in process, most of them being close to completed. These are: French, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Russian, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Khmer and Arabic.
This is amazing... a wonderful example of what can happen when Japanese Christians express their faith with authenticity and originality, with art that reflects the beauty of the culture.
PHOTO: The recently published Spanish version.
I would like to post a cover photo of all the published versions of Messiah Manga -- if you can send me a photo, post a comment with your eMail address and I will write you back (we will not divulge your eMail address to the public unless you specifically say that is what you want).

3d Abstraction from Nature Dolphin Shell - Design 2 Final
For my design 2 final project, I did a 3d Abstraction of a Dolphin Shell. It's this creepy looking purple, pink, black seashell with spikes.
3d turn around of the final sculpture. It's made from plywood, acrylic and MDF. All done on the laser cutter. It's put together like a puzzle and yes, it's as complicated as it looks.
My idea came when Jon was taking about the idea of space, interiors and exteriors. So I literally created a box and broke it apart. I opened some spaces and closed others. The clear acrylic was was used as a device to 'close' space b/c it physically blocks it but is clear so is also 'open.' The acrylic also acts as a support device. I got the shapes by taking photos of my shell from 6 sides (top, bottom, front, back, side, side) then live traced them in illustrator and simplified. It turned out pretty good in the end but I struggled for a long time to come up with the concept.

While the title of a new "Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes and Letters by Marilyn Monroe" is its own spoiler alert for the book (which I've added to my holiday wish list, mom), one of the pages includes a scribbled recipe for stuffing that two writers at the "New York Times" recently tried to re-create. Here's a link to the recipe.
In other Thanksgiving news: The sight of meat (like turkey!) makes men less aggressive, according to a new study. Wonder if that worked for Joe Dimaggio?

Press Release
The good news that we wish on Labor Day is PNoy announcing that he is against outsourcing. But whether it is good or bad news, we want to hear PNoy speak on his personal position on the issue of contractualization. With PALEA's motion for reconsideration pending at the Office of the President, PNoy cannot stay silent anymore and it is high time that he say to the PAL employees if he favors the straight road of regular jobs or the crooked path of contractualization.
As we commemorate Labor Day on May 1, we take note of the continuing decline in the number of labor unions and the number of workers covered by collective bargaining agreements in the country. This means that an increasing number of workers become more vulnerable to rights abuses, in the absence of labor unions and CBAs.
The case of PALEA is a perfect example of the continuing threat to workers' rights and trade unionism in the
. PALEA is a big labor union with a long history. Compared to other labor unions, PALEA can be considered as "advanced". It has an existing CBA that prohibits the contracting out of jobs that are performed by regular employees. Despite these, PALEA is now under threat of annihilation. Philippines
With PAL's outsourcing plan, the CBA prohibition will be ignored; more than 2,600 employees will be terminated. Thirteen out of twenty one PALEA officers will be terminated. Only 900 rank and file employees, mostly administrative staff, will remain after the first wave of the mass termination. We expect that the first batch of 2,600 employees will be followed by further termination as the contracting out of the core services will also affect the administrative staff.
PAL violates the workers' rights to security of tenure. PAL violates our rights to collective bargaining. PAL attempts to destroy the union and deprive its workers of their right to self-organization. Sadly, the government allows PAL to do all these. Is there any cause for celebration on Labor Day?
But we will be out on the streets on May 1, to celebrate workers' solidarity and to manifest our continuing assertion and defense of our rights. We will be out on the streets to make clear our statement that we will fight for our jobs and our rights. We will do this not only for ourselves, but also for the sake of all workers in the country.

Mishkin's Extra Shift: Rangers 2, Lightning 1 - OT
Lightning broadcaster Dave Mishkin recaps the Bolts 2-1 loss in overtimeby Dave Mishkin / TampaBayLightning.com
The New York Rangers entered this game with one of the worst goals against averages in the league. I don't think it's a stretch, then, to conclude that this game was one of their best, if not their very best, defensive efforts of the season. The Rangers played a hard, structured game and were committed to taking away the Lightning's time and space in all three zones.
If this sounds familiar, it's because I wrote a similar recap last Saturday when Anaheim played the Lightning. It's clear that opponents are on high alert when they play the Lightning. Those teams know that if they aren't going to defend as well as they can, they're going to be fishing a lot of pucks out of their net.
From the Lightning's perspective, then, they will need to ready for these types of efforts from the opposition. As long as the Lightning are at or near the top of the standings and among the league's highest scoring teams, they should expect to see the opposition's best defensive performance.
As if often the case, a team's strong defensive game also helped fuel its attack. The Rangers were able to generate a vast number of Grade-A scoring chances. But thanks to Andrei Vasilevskiy, who finished with 33 saves, the Lightning were still able to bank a point.
It took the Lightning about a period to match the Rangers' high-urgency game. The first period featured several odd-man rushes for New York and the Rangers converted on a three-on-one late in the frame to grab the lead.
But in the second period, the Lightning raised their level and the next 30 minutes (the second and first half of the third) was much more evenly played. During that time, the Lightning had a slight edge, in fact. They posted 16 second period shots and forced Henrik Lundqvist to make a number of high quality saves. The Bolts tied the game on a nice shorthanded goal from Yanni Gourde, who was one of the Lightning's best players in the game.
There was some controversy early in the third, when Alex Killorn scored off a shot from the point. But the goal was disallowed due to goalie interference. The Lightning used their coach's challenge, but the no-goal call was upheld on video review. I confess I was surprised the goal didn't count. It looked as though Gabriel Dumont didn't impede Lundqvist's ability to make the save. There was hardly any contact - and to the extent that there was any contact, it was caused by New York defenseman Steven Kampfer, who nudged Dumont closer to Lundqvist. But the referee saw it differently, obviously, and the goal was disallowed.
The Lightning maintained that higher level through the disallowed goal up until the halfway point of the third. That's when they reverted to the sloppy play that plagued them in the first. New York had numerous chances off the rush, either off turnovers and poor coverage, and Vasilevskiy repeatedly bailed his team out. He couldn't stop J.T. Miller's rush in overtime, but his performance was enough to secure a point for the Bolts.
In all, it was an uneven performance for the Lightning against a desperate, hungry, committed opponent that played a strong, overall game.

knit yourself a life
Hola, amigas. Been a long time since I rapped atcha.
This week I've been using knitting to deal with the pain of working after the March Break. Spring Fever has set in with my students and it ain't pretty. They are a big insolent hyper smelly pack of hormones.
So I've been spending a lot of time on my sock. And what am I using to deal with the pain of Second Sockapaloooza Sock Syndrome? Homemade playdoh, mostly.
I went to Lettuce Knit last weekend in the hope of exchanging my 2 balls of Mission Falls for 2 more useful balls of Mission Falls (I ran out of wool after one mitten, which is one way to delay Second Mitten Syndrome). What I found was that there is no white in the resescuitated organization, or at least no white yet. So I only exchanged one ball, in the hope that I can make my white leftovers work. (I don't know who I think I'm kidding; it's not like I'm in a hurry to knit this second mitten. I can certainly wait until I can get my paws on a ball of white yarn.)
I was also hugely disappointed to find out that Jess Hutchison's book is totally sold-out. How totally sold out? So sold out that she's not making them anymore. Why did I wait this long to realize I needed to knit a robot? Why did I promise Blake that I would knit him said robot?? Now he just asks me about the robot pattern, oblivious to my pain as I explain for the hundredth time that I can't knit him a robot because I can't get the pattern.
That is such a sophisticated concept for a 2-year-old. Even I'm having trouble with it.
To make the two of us feel better, I started her free bunny pattern. This will be just for Blake, and it's turning out beautifully so far. Damn your adorable creative mind, Jessica Hutchison! You leave me wanting more.
Finally, tonight I fixed Henry Rollins. Once I got started, he was surprisingly easy to work with. Of course, I had to cut open his bottom and rip out all his stuffing, but after that it was a doddle.
reuknitted, and it feels so good

|Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow; Naught may endure but Mutability. - Percy Shelley
No. 181, 22 September 1994
RUSSIA OPPOSITION, ADMINISTRATION MARK ANNIVERSARY OF YELTSIN'S DECREE. Both sides involved in the bloody confrontations last year commemorated the anniversary of Decree No 1400, issued by Boris Yeltsin on 21 September 1993. In it, the president dissolved the Russian parliament and suspended the Constitutional Court, although the constitution then in force explicitly forbade him to take either of these steps. While Yeltsin's administration marked the day with the presentation of a collection of heretofore unpublished documents, the opposition held rallies in Moscow and St. Petersburg. A few thousand people took part in a torch-lit procession from the square in front of Moscow's Bolshoi Theater to Pushkin Square, where speakers called for an end to the Yeltsin regime. The rally in St. Petersburg, according to an RFE/RL correspondent's report, was larger and far better organized, embracing Yeltsin opponents of every stripe, from anarchists to monarchists. Also on 21 September, for the first time since the amnesty declared in February for the leaders of the parliamentary resistance to the decree, Rutskoi appeared on state-controlled Russian Television, on the live show "Podrobnosti," to air his views. -- Julia Wishnevsky, RFE/RL Inc. TWO MAJOR DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENTS FORM POLITICAL ALLIANCE. The co-chairpersons of the Democratic Russia Movement--Galina Starovoitova, Gleb Yakunin, and Lev Ponomarev--signed an agreement on the formation of a political alliance with the leader of the Russian Democratic Reform Movement, former Moscow Mayor Gavriil Popov. As they told a news conference on 21 September, both sides agreed to hold regular consultations aimed at coordinating the positions of Russia's two major democratic movements on matters of political importance, including backing the same candidates in the forthcoming parliamentary, municipal, and, most important, presidential elections. The lack of such coordination, Ponomarev noted, had resulted in a poor showing by the democrats in the December 1993 elections for seats in the Russian parliament. -- Julia Wishnevsky, RFE/RL Inc. NO PLACE FOR GORBACHEV IN SOCIAL-DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The organizing committee of the new Russian Social Democratic Party (see Daily Report of 20 September) held its first news conference on 21 September, Russian TV news and an RFE/RL correspondent in Moscow reported. At the briefing, the party's leader, Aleksandr Yakovlev (Number 2 in former President Mikhail Gorbachev's leadership and now the chairman of Ostankino Radio and Television) depicted the future party's orientation as centrist, adding that the socialist experience of the Soviet era only illustrated how the country should not be run. Yakovlev's deputy, former USSR Defense Minister Evgenii Shaposhnikov, named two men who will have no place in the new party--former Russian Vice President Rutskoi and former USSR President and Nobel Peace prize-winner Gorbachev. -- Julia Wishnevsky, RFE/RL Inc. UNIONS THREATEN TO DISRUPT STATE TV BROADCASTING. In a statement broadcast by Ostankino TV news on 21 September, the leader of the Union of Communications Servicemen, Anatolii Nazeikin, announced his union's intention to stop broadcasting both state TV companies' programs, with the exception of two hours of evening newscasts a day. Financed from the state budget, the companies--Ostankino and Russian Television--have to pay for the stations that transmit their signals across the country; in the case of Ostankino, transmission costs account for 80% of its budget. This year the budget covered only a quarter of the companies' financial requirements; moreover, only a third of that sum was actually paid. As a result, the companies owe the communications network as much as 410.5 billion rubles, which means in turn that payment of the wages of its employees has been delayed for two to three months. The newscast also said Ostankino Chairman Aleksandr Yakovlev had informed the Russian finance minister by letter that he could not take responsibility for the continuation of broadcasting in such circumstances. -- Julia Wishnevsky, RFE/RL Inc. PRESS COMMITTEE URGES COURT TO BAN ZAVTRA. The Russian State Committee on the Press has appealed to the Moscow courts to ban the hard-core opposition weekly Zavtra, Russian TV newscasts reported on 20 September. The committee stated that the weekly had been warned on several occasions for provoking discord among nationalities and inciting rebellion. Edited by the militant Russian nationalist writer Aleksandr Prokhanov, Zavtra is the successor to the weekly Den, which was banned by a decree issued by Yeltsin after the clashes between presidential and pro-parliamentary forces in October 1993; the two periodicals do not seem to differ in anything but name. -- Julia Wishnevsky, RFE/RL Inc. STRIKES BY VORKUTA COAL MINERS. According to a Russian TV newscast on 20 September, a warning strike at a number of mines in the Vorkuta coal basin ended on 20 September; workers at another pit continued to strike. The miners were demanding payment of their wages, which they have not received for several months. They were also cited as threatening to stage another strike on 1 October if the government continued to ignore their problems. -- Julia Wishnevsky, RFE/RL Inc. POWER OFFICIAL PULLS PLUG ON STRATEGIC MISSILES. The head of Moscow's power directorate turned off the electric power at the command center of the strategic rocket forces on 21 September, because of unpaid bills. According to ITAR-TASS, this action "created a threat to Russia's national security" that was only averted when the men on duty managed to switch the system over to its own power source. The Moscow official, Pavel Sinyuk, was accused of violating a 1994 government decision forbidding such action. The president of Mosenergo--the Moscow power company--told Ostankino Television that the electricity was cut off because the Moscow Military District owed over 50 billion rubles. -- Doug Clarke, RFE/RL Inc. SU-27 SALE TO CHINA HITS SNAG. A Hong Kong newspaper, Lien Ho Pao, reported on 21 September that a planned Russian sale of 24 Su-27 jet fighters to China had been shelved because the two sides could not agree on the price. The paper said that the Russians were offering the planes for $30 million each, in cash, while the Chinese were prepared to pay only $15 million in bartered goods. China was reported to have purchased 26 Su-27s from Russia last year. -- Doug Clarke, RFE/RL Inc. RUSSIAN OIL INDUSTRY TO BE RESTRUCTURED. Plagued by continually falling output, Russia's oil industry is to be fully restructured by 1997 under a scheme drafted by the Ministry of Fuel and Energy, the Union of Oil Industrialists, and Russia's largest oil companies and endorsed by the Russian government's commission on current management, Interfax reported on 20 September. The scheme, which is being submitted to the government for approval, envisages the creation in 1994 of 10 to 15 integrated firms to extract and refine petroleum and provide related services. Small and medium companies are to exploit small oil fields. A State Oil Company is to be set up in 1996-1997 to represent Russia in signing large contracts with foreign investors and coordinate the activities of companies operating on a national scale. The Transneft company is to continue operating oil pipelines. -- Bess Brown, RFE/RL Inc. RUSSIA SEEKS WORLD BANK OIL CREDITS. The Russian government approved documents concerning a second loan, worth $500 million, that it is seeking from the World Bank to rehabilitate and modernize West Siberian oil fields, Interfax reported on 20 September. It said that Russia had obtained a first oil rehabilitation loan, worth $610 million, from the World Bank in 1993. The latest request comes in the wake of Russian objections to a massive Western investment project in Azerbaijan's offshore oil fields and claims to a Russian right to "joint use" with Caspian states of their offshore resources. -- Vladimir Socor, RFE/RL Inc. TRANSCAUCASIA AND CENTRAL ASIA AGREEMENT ON DIVISION OF POWERS IN KAZAKHSTAN. Before setting out for official visits to Italy and Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbaev met with Supreme Soviet deputies and forged an agreement on the division of responsibilities between the legislative and executive branches, ITAR-TASS reported on 20 September. A document on the agreement alludes to the conflict earlier in the year between the Supreme Soviet and the government and asserts that such disputes are unacceptable in the face of Kazakhstan's worsening economic conditions and the falling standard of living. A commission of representatives of the legislature, government, and President's Office is to be formed to work out the details of the agreement. -- Bess Brown, RFE/RL Inc. CIS KOZYREV WANTS US ACCEPTANCE OF RUSSIAN ROLE IN CIS. In preparation for the impending US-Russian summit, Andrei Kozyrev urged the United States to expand bilateral economic relations with Russia in order to contribute to the "stability and prosperity of the CIS" as a region, ITAR-TASS cited the Russian foreign minister as saying on 21 September. Those (unnamed) US advisers who oppose Russia's role in CIS economic integration and conflict resolution "are giving very bad, incorrect, and irresponsible advice," Kozyrev said. "The US president should dismiss such consultants without delay." Kozyrev said that Russia aspires to turn the CIS into a European Union-like organization, "certainly not a centralized state or a new USSR." He "pointed to the lack of any imperial ambitions in Moscow," ITAR-TASS said. -- Vladimir Socor, RFE/RL Inc. EURASIAN UNION PROPOSALS ENDORSED AT CONFERENCE. At a conference in Almaty on 20 and 21 September, delegates from eight former Soviet republics endorsed steps proposed by Kazakhstan's President Nazarbaev toward creating a Eurasian Union, Interfax, ITAR-TASS, and Ostankino TV reported. In his address to the conference, Nazarbaev said the proposals were intended to accelerate economic and political integration among CIS member states. He and prominent Russian speakers, including the Duma's CIS affairs committee chairman Konstantin Zatulin and Russian Federation Communist Party head Gennadii Zyuganov, disclaimed any intent to reconstitute the USSR or a Russian empire or to use force in the process. Endorsing Nazarbaev's "and other integration projects," the conference resolved to establish an institute and a nongovernmental foundation to promote such plans. -- Vladimir Socor, RFE/RL Inc. MILITARY SPACE PROGRAM TO BE MOVED TO RUSSIA. ITAR-TASS announced on 21 September that Russia intended to move its military space program from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan to the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northwestern Russia. It said that Colonel General Vladimir Ivanov, head of the military Space Forces, was leading a group of experts visiting Plesetsk to discuss the transfer. Although Russia and Kazakhstan are about to sign an agreement allowing the Russians to remain at the Baikonur facility, the article said that the Defense Ministry did not want to be dependent on any foreign state. As it is much farther north than Baikonur, payloads launched from Plesetsk cannot be as heavy as the ones sent aloft from Kazakhstan. In the longer run, the Space Forces are counting on a new cosmodrome to be built in the Amur region in the Far East. -- Doug Clarke, RFE/RL Inc. CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE UN OBSERVERS SAY SERBIAN HELICOPTERS AID BOSNIAN SERBS. The New York Times of 22 September quoted UN military observers as saying that they had noted "several hundred flights by Serbian helicopters over northeastern Bosnia in the past week, and many [appeared] to have originated in Serbia." They added that they had "not seen anything on this scale before and [doubted] that the Bosnian Serbs could organize this number of helicopter flights without the active involvement of the Yugoslav Army." NATO spokesmen challenged the report, saying that they had "nothing in any way to match this"; but the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung of 16 September had already reported on a massive increase in cross-border helicopter activity. Meanwhile, in Sarajevo, UN Commander General Sir Michael Rose was quoted by Reuters of 21 September as saying that the Serbs appeared to be meeting the midnight deadline for withdrawing their heavy weapons from the city's exclusion zone. -- Patrick Moore, RFE/RL Inc. OTHER DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA. AFP of 21 September quoted Serbian sources as saying that Bosnian government forces were preparing an offensive from the Zvornik region to push through Serbian lines and retake the left bank of the Drina. From Banja Luka, Borba reported on 22 September that Bosnian Serbs and the self-styled Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna had reached an agreement to exchange populations that wished to move of their own accord. The Athens-based Balkan News noted in its 8-14 September issue that local elements among the Muslim and Croatian forces, particularly among the Herzegovinian Croatian hard-liners, were blocking the implementation of the Croat-Muslim federation program backed by their respective top leaderships. Bosnian Croat leader Kresimir Zubak, who is not part of the Herzegovinian group, had earlier protested to Muslim leaders about anti-Croatian propaganda in the Muslim media. -- Patrick Moore, RFE/RL Inc. KOSOVAR POLITICAL LEADER TAKES BACK RESIGNATION . . . The deputy leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Fehmi Agani, has withdrawn his earlier resignation of his top posts. Agani had expressed discontent with the elections to the central committee at the second party congress on 14 July. According to Borba of 20 September, Agani charged that those elected were not long-term participants in the struggle for Kosovo's independence but mainly inexperienced people. He added that he was not content with the work of the party as a whole. Before the congress, party leader Ibrahim Rugova had argued for a change in the leadership to bring younger and "skilled rather than enthusiastic" people into the central committee and stressed that the LDK was "not an ideological party." -- Fabian Schmidt, RFE/RL Inc. . . . AND CALLS FOR TALKS WITH SERBS. After his return to office, Agani said in an interview with RFE/RL's South Slavic Language Service, together with the prominent Serbian ideologist Mihajlo Markovic, that talks with Serbia should start soon under international mediation. Markovic, however, stated that international mediation "would hardly be acceptable" for the Serbs, who regard Kosovo as a purely internal affair. Borba carried the whole story in several articles between 17 and 20 September. A possible compromise in the two sides' positions could be to hold talks in a foreign embassy in Belgrade. -- Fabian Schmidt, RFE/RL Inc. POLAND'S NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BEGINS CONSTITUTIONAL DEBATE. The Sejm and Senate, sitting jointly as the National Assembly, on 21 September began debating the seven draft constitutions submitted for consideration by various political parties, the president, the Senate, and the Solidarity union, PAP reports. President Lech Walesa also attended. The first session was dominated by procedural discussions. An ad hoc committee was set up to draft rules of order for the assembly. These provide for a first reading of all seven drafts, questions and answers, and a general debate, followed by the preparation in commission of a single compromise draft that will be submitted for a second reading to the National Assembly. After the passage of the single draft, the president will be able either to approve the draft or to suggest amendments. In the latter case, there would be a third reading before the president ordered a national referendum. Party political infighting over the past five years has so far prevented the completion of work on a new Polish Constitution. -- Anna Sabbat-Swidlicka, RFE/RL Inc. POLISH PRIME MINISTER IN KAZAKHSTAN. Waldemar Pawlak arrived in Alma Ata on 21 September at the head of a high-level delegation that included several economic ministers and representatives of state and private businesses, PAP reports. Pawlak and his Kazakh counterpart Sergei Tereschenko signed several agreements including one on Polish credits worth $30 million for Kazakh purchases of Polish goods. Pawlak also met with representatives of the large Polish ethnic group--the descendants of tens of thousands of Poles resettled from Ukraine in the 1930s--many of whom would like to repatriate to Poland. Pawlak said that repatriation could only be considered if all else failed in extreme circumstances. Instead, he stressed the need for the Kazakh Poles to play a role in bilateral economic relations. Pawlak suggested that the Polish community in the West should help to develop such relations. A representative of the Polish American Congress accompanied Pawlak. -- Anna Sabbat-Swidlicka, RFE/RL Inc. CZECH DEFENSE MINISTER RECALLED. At the request of Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus, on 21 September President Vaclav Havel dismissed Defense Minister Antonin Baudys and appointed Foreign Ministry official Vilem Holan to replace him. Holan is to be sworn in on 22 September. The president and the prime minister acted at the request of Baudys's Christian and Democratic Union/People's Party. The leadership of the party claimed that Baudys had become a political liability after a series of political blunders, but both Baudys and Klaus have indicated that the minister's replacement was a result of an internal party struggle between two wings within the CDU/PP. Holan is also a member of that party. -- Jiri Pehe, RFE/RL Inc. SLOVAK FOREIGN MINISTRY ON HORN'S STATEMENTS. A spokesman for the Slovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs told journalists in Bratislava on 21 September that members of ethic minorities were sufficiently represented in the system of state administration. The statement was made in response to Hungarian Prime Minister Guyla Horn's recent remarks on Duna Television that he considered unacceptable the fact that in those regions of Slovakia where members of an ethnic minority constituted a majority "they do not enjoy corresponding representation in the system of state administration." The Slovak Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Horn was "again putting himself in the position of Slovakia's mentor." -- Jiri Pehe, RFE/RL Inc. HUNGARIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ON GOVERNMENT'S FOREIGN POLICY. According to Laszlo Kovacs, the Gyula Horn-led government has begun normalizing relations with Hungary's neighbors, MTI reported on 21 September. Good-neighborly relations were necessary for all concerned to integrate Europe and ensure political stability in the region, Kovacs said. Hungary would strive to sign bilateral treaties that guarantee both the inviolability of borders and the rights of national minorities, and experts' talks to that effect would take place in late September with Slovakia and "in the near future" with Romania. By signing such treaties, Hungary would not renounce the possibility of peaceful changes of borders due to changed circumstances and the agreement of both parties, as stated in the Vienna Convention, Kovacs added. -- Alfred Reisch, RFE/RL Inc. ROMANIANS PROTEST OVER COMMUNIST LEADERS' RELEASE. Reuters reported on 21 September that Romanian civic groups had protested against the release of the last two former communist bosses jailed in connection with the killings in the December 1989 revolt. The two, Ion Dinca and Ludovic Fazekas, had been freed on 20 December. A leader of the "21 December" association called the release "a new offense" to the more than 1,100 people reportedly killed in the 1989 events. All eighty-seven senior communist officials initially sentenced in connection with the massacres have already been freed on grounds of age or health. Six of them applied on 21 September for pardons to prevent the possibility of being sent back to prison. In a separate development, an "initiative group" announced on the same day that it planned to revive the Romanian Communist Party and prepare its fifteenth congress. The RCP's last congress was in November 1989, a month before the uprising that toppled the late communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. -- Dan Ionescu, RFE/RL Inc. BULGARIAN COURT ORDERS PARLIAMENT TO STOP REPLACING TOP JURISTS. The spokesman of the constitutional court told Bulgarian National Radio on 21 September that parliament would have to rescind its decision aimed at replacing several members of the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC), adopted on 16 September. Vladislav Slavov said the assembly's vote was a "drastic and striking violation" of the court's 15 September ruling, which interpreted the 1991 constitution as unambiguously stating that all members of the SJC are appointed for five years, a provision that he said neither parliament nor the recently adopted law on the judiciary could ignore or modify. Slavov also stressed that the existing Law on the Constitutional Court gave the top legal body the authority to order any state institution, including the National Assembly, to revoke decisions that it regarded as inconsistent with the constitution. -- Kjell Engelbrekt, RFE/RL Inc. ALBANIA TO COMMEMORATE LIBERATION ANNIVERSARY. On the recommendation of President Sali Berisha, a government commission has been set up to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Albania's liberation from Axis occupation, according to Rilindja Demokratike of 10 September. Last year Albania changed the national day from 29 November (the date celebrated for forty-eight years and chosen by Enver Hoxha to coincide with the liberation day of former Yugoslavia) to 28 November, the day that also marks the independence from 500 years of Ottoman rule in 1912. The Socialists (the former Communists) saw the change as part of Berisha's Democrats' wider agenda aimed at destroying the legacy of Albania's Partisans who had fought for liberation. But now, faced with the mounting pressure of what Tirana calls the "Serb-Greek threat" to the Albanian people, Berisha's decision to pay special tribute to the fiftieth anniversary of liberation can be seen as a rallying nationalist call to all Albanians, including the Socialists. Berisha also personally marked the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of the city of Gjirokaster (bordering on Greece and the birthplace of the late dictator Hoxha), reported Rilindja on 20 September. The president said in his lengthy and nationalistic speech that all Albanians had to confront "bad Serb-Greek nationalism with good Albanian nationalism." -- Louis Zanga, RFE/RL Inc. UKRAINIAN NATIONALISTS ON CHENCHENYA. On 21 September UNIAN reported that a delegation of the radical nationalist organization the Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA), led by Yurii Tyma, had met with Chechen President Dzhokar Dudayev in Grozny. Tyma said that Dudayev supported UNA's initiative to hold an international congress of "freedom-loving forces" in Grozny in October. Tyma also accused Russia of using the cholera epidemic in Deghestan to block approaches to Grozny and of fabricating the myth of an Islamic threat in the Caucauses. UNA's paramilitary arm, the Ukrainian National Self-Defense Organization (UNSO), has been active in fighting against Russian forces in Abkhazia and also on the side of the Russian Transdniester forces in Moldova in protection of Slavic rights. The former Ukrainian president, Leonid Kravchuk, had banned UNSO as a result of its activities. -- Ustina Markus, RFE/RL Inc. UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT ACTS ON CRIMEA. International media report that the Ukrainian parliament passed several amendments affecting Crimea on 21 September. One amendment allows the Ukrainian parliament to dismiss deputies in the Crimean parliament before their term of office is up. A second amendment says that the Ukrainian legislature can cancel legal acts adopted by Crimea if they do not conform to the Ukrainian Constitution. Yet another amendment changes the name of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to the "Autonomous Republic of Crimea." -- Jiri Pehe, RFE/RL Inc. FIRST HUNGARIAN INSTITUTE OF HIGHER EDUCATION OPENS IN UKRAINE. The teachers' college opened on 17 September in Beregszasz (Berehovo), Transcarpathian Oblast, according to Nepszabadsag of 20 September. On the recommendation of the joint Ukrainian-Hungarian commission and with the support of the teachers' college of Nyiregyhaza in Hungary, the new college will train twenty-five ethnic Magyar nursery school and regular teachers and seventeen teachers of English, history, and geography this academic year. It also plans to teach members of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia agriculture and health at a higher level. -- Alfred Reisch, RFE/RL Inc. BELARUSIAN PRESIDENT ON THE ECONOMY AND RUSSIA. Belarusian Radio and Belinform-TASS reported on separate interviews with Alyaksandr Lukashenka on 21 and 20 September, respectively. According to Belinform-TASS, Lukashenka blames Russia for the unpopular economic measures the Belarusian government must take, because Russia began charging world prices for its energy rapidly, rather than adopting a gradual approach. Lukashenka also said that some $200 million had been deposited in Belarusian overseas bank accounts and that this money was not working for the benefit of the Belarusian economy. He added that a decree would soon be passed regarding these accounts. Belarusian Radio reported that Lukashenka had said Belarus would not accept Russian ultimatums on country's energy debt. When asked if it was possible that a situation could arise in Belarus similar to what happened in Russia during the confrontation between the president and the parliament in September 1993, Lukashenka replied that it could not. -- Ustina Markus, RFE/RL Inc. ESTONIAN-GERMAN DEFENSE ACCORD SIGNED. A defense cooperation agreement was signed in Bonn on 21 September by the defense ministers of Estonia and Germany, Enn Tupp and Volker Ruehe, BNS reported. Ruehe said the agreement marked the beginning of a new era in Estonian-German cooperation, while Tupp noted that the accord was a further sign of the importance that Germany and the present German government attach to the security of all three Baltic States (similar accords were recently signed also with Latvia and Lithuania). In their discussions, the two defense ministers dealt with various issues, including the training of Estonian officers in Germany, aid and technical assistance for the Baltic peacekeeping battalion and the Estonian armed forces, and security policy in the Baltic region following the withdrawal of Russian troops. -- Dzintra Bungs, RFE/RL Inc. LITHUANIAN CABINET DISCUSSES MILITARY TRANSIT RULES. On 21 September the Lithuanian government discussed the draft regulations for transporting foreign military cargoes through Lithuania, BNS and Interfax reported. The document sets forth conditions and rules for the transit of servicemen and military cargo and specifies control mechanisms and compensation for possible damage. The regulations prohibit the transportation of nuclear arms and armed formations through Lithuania and the carrying of missiles, bombs, and weapons by foreign aircraft flying over Lithuania. According to Virglijus Bulovas, the head of the Lithuanian working group for talks with the CIS states, this document will serve as the basis for the Russian-Lithuanian agreement on military transit to Russia's Kaliningrad region via Lithuanian territory. Until now, Moscow has linked the signing of the agreement on transit to Kaliningrad with implementing the November 1993 agreement on granting Lithuania most-favored-nation trading status. -- Dzintra Bungs, RFE/RL Inc. RIGA CITY COUNCIL BANS ANTISTATE MEDIA. After a heated debate, the city council in Riga, Latvia, on 20 September adopted new rules on the dissemination of foreign media, Diena and BNS reported on 21 September. Publications and other media that propagate violence or breaches of the law, campaign against Latvia's independence, or advocate chauvinism are banned. Failure to comply with the regulations may entail a fine of 50 lati. Council member Juris Dobelis commented on the move, claiming that newspapers such as Russkii Sobor, Rech, Al-Kods, and Nashe Otcetestvo, which are regularly sold in downtown Riga, "undermine Latvia's stability and threaten its independence." -- Dzintra Bungs, RFE/RL Inc.

Despite a slow start, experts are expecting hurricane season could still be a bit turbulent.
Forecasters at the NOAA Climate Prediction Center announced Thursday that this year's Atlantic hurricane season is expected to be the most active since 2012, which was the year Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast.
In its 2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook, NOAA predicts a 70 percent chance of 12 to 17 tropical storms, up from the initial prediction of 10 to 16 announced in May. The updated report, which comes at the start of peak hurricane season, expects five to eight of those to reach hurricane status, with two to four being major hurricanes.
The last hurricane to pass Hampton Roads was Sandy in 2012, one of 10 total that year. The 2012 season overall had above-average activity with 19 tropical storms, seven higher than is typical.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Jeff Orrock said Hampton Road hasn't really seen hurricane conditions in 13 years.
"Irene was a little bit worse than Sandy, but that was still just a glancing blow," Orrock said. "The last time we had anything close to hurricane force winds was Hurricane Isabel in 2003."
Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, said, "We've raised the numbers because some conditions now in place are indicative of a more active hurricane season, such as El Niño ending, weaker vertical wind shear and weaker trade winds over the central tropical Atlantic, and a stronger west African monsoon."
El Niño, which keeps Pacific Ocean temperatures warmer than usual, counters hurricane formation in the Atlantic because it encourages sharp wind change — called wind shear — higher in the atmosphere over the Atlantic, according to Orrock at the NWS.
Orrock said the stronger West African monsoon means an increasing number of tropical waves coming off of the African coast into the Atlantic that could help develop tropical systems. That, combined with the end of El Niño, was why he speculated NOAA upped its hurricane predictions.
"Usually early in the season you see more systems forming closer to the continental U.S.," Orrock said. "The reason we probably haven't seen that this year is that wind conditions haven't been favorable for tropical storm formation."
Some of those conditions are still present, such as strong wind shear conditions over the Caribbean Sea that could work to counter the more favorable hurricane-forming weather farther out.
Orrock said while the outlook may favor the development of tropical storms, it depends on current climate conditions in the Atlantic as to whether the storm would hit the U.S. or not.
When storms come in from the Atlantic, there are two paths they can take — either target the Gulf of Mexico or curve back up the U.S. East Coast — and it's hard to predict where a storm will land until it forms, Orrock said.
"It's a little bit of the luck of the draw of what the weather pattern is looking like over the mid-Atlantic," Orrock said. "Historically, more hurricanes do pass with 100 miles of Cape Hatteras than anywhere else in the U.S. Climatologically, we are near a hot spot."
Even if it does curve up the coast, a storm could just pass by Hampton Roads entirely.
As the season enters its peak from mid-August to mid-October, Kate Hale, emergency manager for James City County, said people should have a plan for any kind of tropical storm, not just hurricanes.
"We really caution people to be prepared regardless of what projections are for any given season," Hale said. "It only takes one."
Hale said people should keep in mind that lesser storms still cause damage like downed trees and power lines. She said storms of any magnitude often involve wind and rain, and could lead to flooding.
William Powell, a FEMA spokesman, said people should stay tuned to local information and stay up-to-date about storm movements. He said being prepared includes a plan and a disaster supply kit with a weather radio, flashlight and batteries, extra food and water and any personal supplies such as medicine or pet supplies.
So far in 2016, five Atlantic storms have been strong enough to warrant naming, including two hurricanes, according to NOAA. No hurricanes have made landfall on U.S. soil yet, but Tropical Storm Bonnie did hit South Carolina during Memorial Day Weekend.

Just introducing my self
My name is Helen and I am 60.
I have been on crutches for 4 years having osteoarthritis in both knees.
I had an operation on my left knee then had 12 weeks of hydrotherapy and physiotherapy and lost the crutches.
Then was diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol and put on medication.

Have to wait for my knees to heal and then start all over again to strengthen them,
So here I go starting to eat healthy food and hope to lose weight and try to come ofall the medication.

I had some of Tilda's beautiful papers and die-cuts. I love the cheerful colours and images.
I picked out flowers from Manor House Creations Enchanted – Sweet dreams, Sprinkles
It was Mother's Day last month in Australia (and probably the rest of the world), so the team all made presents for Mum.
I had a blank MDF plaque which I covered in various papers from Scrap Cake.
I then added layers of flowers and leaves from MHC
Topped off with a tag and charm.
Sorry for the short post. I promise that I will be quicker with my next one because I still have loads to catch up on.
Thanks for popping in.

"It was essentially worthless with my T2."
The ugly
In case you haven't guessed, I wasn't the least bit impressed with the Targus Universal wireless keyboard. Every feature that I counted as a desirable attribute turned out to be missing or nonfunctional in the end. Targus claims that with this keyboard and its features, you won't have to use your stylus or buttons, you know, tap-free. Well, I'm afraid they failed miserably, at least when it comes to using it with a Palm OS5 unit like my T2. Maybe this keyboard works properly with Palm OS 3 or 4 devices and Pocket PCs, I don't know. But I do know that it was essentially worthless with my T2.
This keyboard has, or had anyway, the potential to sweep the handheld keyboard market. Too bad Targus dropped the ball. Here's what needs to be done to make this keyboard all that it should be...
First, make it fully functional and compatible with Palm OS 5. Second, do something about that Space bar. The middle is where most people hit it. Third, make those hard buttons correspond to the ones on the PDA, regardless of what app is assigned to them.
I think if these things were fixed, the smaller keys would be livable. Targus' customer support isn't winning any awards with me either. Although they processed and shipped my order very rapidly, they aren't as anxious to take the keyboard back.
I've requested an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number and return instructions for a refund twice. I have yet to get a response from them. This really sticks in my craw too, as customer service is one of my biggest pet peeves. In the end, I had to call them in order to get the information I needed for my refund. Before it was all over, I had to file a complaint with my bank to get a refund.
All in all, lumping everything together, I'd have to give the Targus Universal wireless keyboard a 2 out of 5. I'm really leaning towards a 1 because of the way their customer service has blown me off, but as I couldn't test it with a Pocket PC or older Palm OS device, I'm willing to give Targus the benefit of the doubt on those. Either way though, I'm afraid you're likely to be taking your chances with this product.RATING: 2 STARS

|21,500 lbs (9,800 kg)

Back in late 90's, Master Pull started experimenting with installing synthetic winch lines on recreational off road vehicles. At the time, off roaders had never seen anything like it. We told them that synthetic ropes were lighter, stronger and safer than steel wire rope. Most people told us we were crazy. It took some time, but people finally realized the benefits that synthetic rope had over steel wire. Ever since we have strived to offer the highest quality synthetic winch lines available.
The Classic Winch Line is an ode to the original winch line that Master Pull started selling over 15 years ago, but with a modern twist. We've taken all the enhancements over the years and encompassed them all into the Classic: heavy duty thimble, lightweight hook, universal drum attachment, detachable Rock Guard, high visibility heat guard - all these things make the Classic the best bang for your buck winch line available.
The best part is, the Classic Winch Line is hand spliced here in the USA, when you order it. There's no inferior imitation materials used here. Master Pull quality at an affordable price.
The Master Pull Classic Winch Line was designed to be extremely lightweight and tough. We use heavy duty tube thimbles in the eyes for ultimate protection. The optional hooks are specially designed for use with synthetic rope to be both strong and lightweight. On the drum end, the line is covered with a heat resistant sleeve to both protect from winch brake heat and drum abrasion. The bright orange color also helps signal that the line is on the last wrap of the drum. The universal drum attachment includes hardware compatible with most winches. For additional abrasion protection, the Classic includes our removable Rock Guard. This chafe guard can be velcroed on the line if it has to run over rocks or trees to protect it from damage.
The Classic Winch Line is made in the USA out of genuine Dyneema SK75 synthetic fiber, which has many benefits over steel wire rope. The Classic Winch Line is so light, that in the event of breakage it will not violently snap back like steel wire rope will, making it much safer. The reduced weight also allows for easier use than steel wire, and the soft fiber will not cut hands with splinters or burrs. On top of all these benefits, size for size, the Classic Winch Line is stronger than the steel wire counterpart.
