The MicSem bulletin board threads we post in the immigrant poll take just one look to see them in use. I' ve asked for very fundamental information from everyone who lives in the USA or Guam - name, address, e-mail or other people. The FSM and the Republic of Marshals are preparing for a questioning of immigrants in the USA and its territory (i.e. Guam and CNMI).

That will be important for the FSM and RMI communities if they want to maintain the open migrations granted in the Compact. Recently, as you know, there has been some anxiety in Washington about the load that immigrants from the island have placed on some of the states and territory - particularly Guam, Hawaii and Arkansas.

What can micro-nationals do to help building on their success? Firstly, to keep doing what most immigrant groups in the US seem to be doing successfully. Create an insular fellowship within the wider US fellowship - not to rule out connections with other local residents, but to help each other.

The majority of prosperous churches have a kind of authoritarian person who keeps everyone in line and introduces new immigrant communities and explains what they need to do to find their way around their new home. At the moment, the response to the issue in the cover of this article is Oceanside, New York, where I am working at St. Anthony's Parish until now.

Most of the population here comes from New York City, most of them of the Italian origin and some of them have the economic difficulties that other Americans are confronted with today in a period of near-recession.

Vongfong is leaving Mariana's island, but where are we going?

2:30 p.m., Monday, October 6th, Japanese time: With Vongfong having left the Marianas Isles after whipping them with a Category 2 and 10 inch wind in some places, the obvious questions is, where does Vongfong go from there? One more WNW route for the next one or two days, followed by a curve to the N, which almost suggests a trail similar to what Phanfone did before Vongfong.

Blackouts and small floods were announced in some areas on Monday mornings when the claims were received.

However, it is also intensified as it goes, and is predicted to reach 61 nm NE of Andersen Air Force Base as a Category 2 -equivalent cyclone, 115-mph pack persistent breezes and 143-mph squalls in its midst. Northern Guam will remain within the 58mph windbands predicted by the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre and the remainder of the isle will remain within the 40mph windbands.

The National Weather Service also has Guam and the other large Mariana Islands under Taifun caution. Vomgfong is following ahead of past predictions. The Joint Typshoon Warns Center's latest prediction leads Vongfong 62 leagues north-east of Andersen Air Force Base at around 4 a.m. Monday, a few hrs quicker than previously predicted.

The JTWC has Guam well within the 40mph windbands predicted and the north part of the isle within the 58mph windbands predicted. Uncertainties remain in the long run, about 520 miles in the solution of the five-day expanded prediction. 12:30 Sunday 5 October, Guam time: Best the information get a small indefinite quantity superior for Guam and maybe way superior for Okinawa, with the latest Joint Typhoon Alert holding area prediction evidence.

Vongfong has followed further norwest than the earlier forecasts and is now predicted at about 9 a.m. Monday, about 30 nautical mile from the last projected 64 nautical mile from Andersen Air Force Base. However, at least the northern part of Guam will remain within the 58mph windbands predicted by JTWC and the whole of Guam will remain within the 40mph windbands.

Monday should still be very humid and breezy. There is a big gap between the long run and Vongfong is going to go there. Modells agree over the next three and a half day, but after that, says JTWC, there is a significant fissure, some of them project another route to the NW, others suggest a northern turn, like the one before it was made.

This is a little more bad for Rota and Guam, because the latest route of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center runs almost directly over Rota and only 35 northeastern of Andersen Air Force Base at 8am.

Vongfong is forecasting a Category 3 cycle with 115-mph and 143-mph squalls in the middle at this point. JTWC's latest prediction trail shows that Guam will lie well in Vongfong's 58-mph windbands. Though Guam will remain on standby 3, please anticipate this to accelerate early Sunday matinee.

JTWC Tracks place Guam well in Vongfong's 40-mph-band. The National Weather Service has published a Taifun clock for the most important Mariana Isles.

Not sure yet which way Vongfong will go after he has left the Marianas, but the expanded prediction still goes Vongfong in the general Okinawas-orientation.
