And since you seem to have an intermittant problem be sure to gently (i.e.
don't break them testing them) shake wires/switchs/whatever while you
test them.

  It was only a matter of time.  You're a much more vulnerable target
than someone in a cage with the windows up, and they're not after
your Rolls; they're after your Pinto.  Any bike has to be more fun
than your Pinto.
  I hope the cops are understanding when I start running red lights
and taking pedestrians' toes off.

It sounds like the cold affected the starter switch or the connections
from the switch to the starter. Possibly a cold solder joint if not the
switch.

| I bought the Difi Gortex gloves back in December, and yesterday was

| ... this morning, when I grabbed my gloves, it was still soaking
| wet (I had left it out in my room) and when I put my hand inside,
| it was a bit moist, and for sure not dry.

    I've been wrestling with winter gloves for some time now.  I have a pair
of GorTex gloves with Thinsulate lining, and they even come with some rain
mittens inside the guantlet, but I haven't used them for some time.  The
reasons:

        o  They're very bulky.
        o  The only leather is fairly cheap stuff in the palms.
        o  The rain mittens are not waterproof.

    I found an interesting compromise that's worked very well so far.  About
two weeks ago I went to Orchard Supply and got some extra-large rubber
gloves intented for use when staining, or working with other nasty goop.
The rubber is sort of a thick grey latex (no liner, unfortunately, but it
goes over my leather gloves fairly easily).  The salient points:

        o  Slips over "real" leather gloves, so I feel better protected.
        o  Only $5 for the pair.
        o  Completely waterproof.
        o  Completely windproof, so I haven't missed the total lack of
           insulation (like it really gets cold here anyway).
        o  Because of the above point, the combination is not bulky.
        o  Can be folded small enough to carry with me in one of the
           pockets on my Aerostich suit.

    Note that I'm not talking about the spent-nuclear-fuel type gloves - the
glossy black ones with liner and a fairly stiff material.  These are simply
thick latex gloves.  I had gone to Home Depot before this but could only
find the stiff gloves (not good for carrying around on me, and stiff
besides) or the gee-your-hands-look-marvelous dishwashing type gloves (which
I couldn't find large enough to slip over leather gloves anyway).

    I've been using this combination every day for the last two weeks (I
have no cage) and in all the rain, and am very happy with this combination.

this should be no problem for a REAL motorcyclist.  as you come to a stop,
place your front tire between said bikejackers legs.  now bounce the engine
off the rev limiter while you dump the clutch.  see how far you can carry
the unwitting passenger on the front tire before they get sucked under.  
make sure you don't slip on the guts.

CSL SEMINAR

        THE SYNCHRONOUS DATAFLOW PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE LUSTRE
                         Nicolas Halbwachs
                IMAG Institute and Stanford University

       4:00 Monday, Feb. 1, SRI International Bldg. E, Rm EJ228
             
The language Lustre is a synchronous dataflow language designed
for programming reactive systems --- such as automatic control
and monitoring systems --- as well as for describing hardware. 
The dataflow aspect of Lustre makes it very close to usual 
description tools in these domains (block-diagrams, networks of
operators, analog schemas, ...) and its synchronous interpretation
makes it well suited for handling time in programs. Moreover, this
synchronous interpretation allows it to be compiled into an
efficient sequential code, whose control structure is a finite
automaton synthesized by the compiler. Finally, the Lustre may be
viewed as a temporal logic.  Therefore the language can be used for
writing programs and for expressing program properties. This results
in an original program verification methodology.

NOTE FOR VISITORS TO SRI:

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early in order to sign in and be 
shown to the conference room.  SRI is located at 333 Ravenswood Ave.
in Menlo Park. Visitors may park in the visitors lot in front of
Building A or E.  They should sign in at the lobby of Building E and
wait to be escorted to the meeting room.

IMPORTANT: Attendance is open, but visitors from certain countries
designated by the US government must make arrangements in advance.
If you have not already made such arrangements before your arrival,
admission to the seminar will be denied. If you believe you may be
from one of these countries and if you wish to make arrangements to
attend, please call Judith Burgess at (415) 859-5924 at least three
working days before the seminar.

         The AIDS Research Immuno-Enhancement Study #2
           Session One: February 26 - March 1, 1993
                Session Two: May 28 - 31, 1993
              Session Three: August 27 - 30, 1993

The Institute of HeartMath is a non-profit educational and 
research organization located in Boulder Creek, CA. HeartMath 
is a process of self-empowerment, mental and emotional self-
management, that has been researched, proven out and 
practiced for more than a decade and is taught in seminar 
format. This study will research the effectiveness of the 
HeartMath system in enhancing immune system function and 
improving the quality of life. Participants will receive 
techniques for self-maintenance of a healthier immune system. 
Guidance will be provided for physical, emotional, mental, 
and spiritual self-healing and well-being. The Institute has 
several projects under way to research the beneficial effects 
that self-generated feelings of love, care and appreciation 
have on the immune system. Your participation will help you 
to:

* Integrate your heart with your mind and emotions to produce
  more balanced and efficient actions and reactions
* Access intuitive intelligence with reliability, not just in
  flashes
* Learn how to listen to and follow your heart
* Empower your system on physical, mental, emotional and
  spiritual levels
* Achieve coherence of your cardio-electricities, resulting
  in inner peace and harmony on all levels

HeartMath researchers have been able to measure, record and 
correlate the human electrical system to different mental and 
emotional states. The research has shown that when 
individuals self-manage their mental and emotional energies, 
it beneficially affects their heart and brain electricities 
which in turn affects hormonal secretions and their 
perceptions of life. The Institute is also involved with the 
development of tonal patterns that appear to harmonically 
link with the DNA to enhance T-cell strength in people with 
AIDS and other immune disorders.

The work of the Institute and its founder, Doc Lew Childre, 
was described in a half-page article in 1/6/93 issue of USA 
Today.

If you would like to participate in Study #2, please call the 
Institute to obtain an application which is due by February 
17, 1993. For more information, call Wendy Rickert or 
Euphrasia Carroll at (408)-338-8700. (Participants must make 
a commitment to attend all three sessions.)

Microsoft's new push into network computing starts with Windows for Workgroups. 
January's NETSIG meeting will feature Rick Segal, Microsoft's expert on 
Windows for Workgroups.  Windows for Workgroups could prove to be the most 
significant networking product produced by Microsoft in 1992 and presents some 
exciting opportunities for independent software developers.  

Rick is coming in from Redmond to give us the information we need to develop 
groupware, client/server and other network-aware applications.  Specifically, 
Rick will describe what Windows for Workgroups provides that the "vanilla" 
Windows 3.1 doesn't, the protocols it supports, API's it provides, and network 
services available from Microsoft and others using Windows for Workgroups.  

Admission is free for SEF members; $7.00 for non-members.  For more
