Italian Navy & Air Force Elite Units & Special Forces 1940-45 (Paperback)
Shipped to Tattered Cover in 3 to 7 days
This volume assesses the formidable special forces fielded by Italy's navy and air force in World War II, both before and after Italy's surrender in September 1943. The Italian Navy special forces were particularly active and respected in the Mediterranean, where 10th Motor-Torpedo Boat Flotilla (Xa MAS) used frogmen, 'two-man torpedoes' and explosive ram-boats; Italian midget submarines were also deployed against the Soviet Navy in the Black Sea. After September 1943 the Germans allowed the expansion of Count Borghese's Xa MAS, which continued fighting on their side at sea and on land, most notoriously in anti-partisan operations. The marines of the 'San Marco' Regiment fought hard in North Africa, earning the respect of their opponents and the German general Hans-Jürgen von Arnim, who described them as the best soldiers he had ever commanded; they also gave birth to a paratroop-frogman section.
The Italian Air Force formed a special commando unit, ADRA (Arditi Distruttori Regia Aeronautica), before the 1943 surrender; it was tasked with attacking Allied airfields and communications in North Africa alongside the 'Loretto' Battalion, which was made up of ground crew trained to operate captured enemy airfields. Men from ADRA and diehard Army paratroopers formed the new 'Folgore' Regiment, which also continued to fight alongside German forces until 1945.
In both cases, the pro-Allied Italian forces also formed 'mirror' units to fight alongside US and British forces, including the Recce Squadron 'F', the first Italian military unit to take up arms against the Germans occupying their country, and the Mariassalto, made up of personnel from Xa MAS who fought alongside British Royal Navy special units.
Featuring rare photographs and specially commissioned artwork, this book tells the story of the little-known elite forces fielded by Italy's navy and air force in World War II, some of whose successors remain in service with today's Italian armed forces.

A contributor to the Italian Army Historical Office, he is currently revising his PhD thesis for publication: The War of the Axis: German and Italian Military Partnership in World War Two, 1939-1943.
Praise for Italian Navy & Air Force Elite Units & Special Forces 1940-45…
"Fans of special operations and irregular warfare will love this one."
- David L. Veres, www.cybermodeler.com (February 2013)
"The spotlight shines on some relatively little-known military men in Italian Navy & Air Force Elite Units & Special Forces 1940-45. Co Authors Piero Crociani and Pier Paolo Battistellin examine units that were regarded as being formidable. Fine artwork by Mark Stacey and some photographs that are considered rare illustrate the intriguing story of these elite Italian units."
-Toy Soldier & Model Figure
"The authors cover the full spectrum of these troops and a goodly portion of the book delves on the 10th MAS with their manned torpedoes and attack boats as they were the ones with the greatest success. As the Elite series is as much a uniforms and troops weapons/equipment book as anything most of the photos concentrate on that aspect of things. There are the usual superb full color plates to go along with this, so those who are figure modelers will find much interest in this title. I learned a great deal I did not know from this book and found it to be not only an interesting read, but a look into what could have been. It is one I can easily recommend to you for a look at a little known aspect of Italian military history."
- Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness (April 2013)
"This coverage uses vintage rare wartime photos and new color pictures of uniforms and equipment to narrow the focus on the unit's many achievements, with M. Stacey's illustrations making this a key survey for any World War II military collection."

UN investigator says unhealthy food taxes vital to fight obesity

I had a photographer around to my place today to take a photo of me for a couple of newspapers.
I was freaking out this morning because I'd stupidly picked at a blackhead and whitehead last week (that were very hard to see mind you) which turned into red, inflamed and flaky-skin spots. Luckily my mineral makeup and a bit of papaya gel did a GREAT job at covering it all up! More about that in the video-
I'm looking for a makeup artist to work with to create some how-to videos with High on Health, so if you're interested please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
I'd also love to hear from any natural mineral makeup brands that are interested in blog sponsorship.

'Blood Moon' Eclipse on April 4 Will Be the Shortest of the Century
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
Immediately after FX aired Louie 's controversial attempted-rape scene in Pamela Part 1, viewers and critics alike sounded off online, with many deriding it as horrible and a dark moment . Then, we were left hanging — forced to wait two weeks for Pamela Part 2 and Pamela Part 3, the show's season finale, to witness the aftermath of Louie's actions . Those looking for a resolution will be disappointed, however, as Louis C.K.
Only the speediest of skywatchers will have a chance to see the total lunar eclipse rising Saturday: NASA predicts that the total phase of the lunar eclipse will only last about 5 minutes, making it the shortest lunar eclipse of the century. Early-rising observers all over the United States should be able to see at least the partial phases of the April 4 lunar eclipse just before the sun rises, if weather permits. People on the West Coast will have the chance to see the moon turn an eerie shade of red during totality, which should begin at about 7:58 a.m.
GoDaddy may look like a startup, but the company, at 18 years old, is a village elder among techies. That may explain why GoDaddy used Periscope during its long-awaited debut on the New York Stock Exchange. Eighteen years after launching and nine years after its first failed attempt at a public offering, GoDaddy's stock began trading on Wednesday, opening at $26.15 per share, a gain of more than 30% from its IPO price. The web-hosting service announced late Tuesday that it had priced its IPO at $20 a share, above its expected price range of $17 to $19, raising $460 million.
The apparently deliberate crashing of a packed Germanwings jet by a pilot who had previously experienced suicidal tendencies has triggered debate about whether airlines should get access to the medical history of their employees. Andreas Lubitz,, who suffered episodes of severe depression during his brief career , had been excused from work by doctors for an unspecified illness on the day of the crash — a fact that prosecutors say he appears to have concealed from the airline. Cockpit voice recordings suggest the first Officer deliberately crashed Flight 4U 9525 into the French Alps on March 24, killing all 149 others on board. The crash has thrown a spotlight on the world of mental health screening for pilots, who face regular physical testing but are often expected to self-declare illnesses such as addiction or depression.
The European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said on Wednesday is aiming to broker more talks between Russia and Ukraine this month to try to extend a discount on gas prices for Kiev, Russia, Ukraine and the European Commission held preliminary talks in Brussels last month. After that opening round, Sefcovic said he had written to Russia and Ukraine, and was aiming for further three-way discussions in the middle of April.
Alibaba Picture, the film studio owned by Chinese tech giant Alibaba, had a rough year. Alibaba's flagship entertainment company, which is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange, racked up a net loss of $53.56 million in 2014, down from a profit of $24 million a year earlier.

Welcome, Guest
Newbie here. I just paid for and downloaded Lightworks Pro 11.0.2. I'm trying to add a title but my timeline doesn't seem to have the same buttons as I see on some of the Youtube tutorials. The missing buttons seem to be "Unjoin", "Effects", and "Advanced"
Am I missing something here. How do I get access to those buttons? If I could find those buttons I could follow the rest of the tutorial.
You have to be in "record" mode to use those features. It's a little button in the bottom right side of your viewer. Once you select "record" the viewer is outlined in red and the features become available.

You are trying to use a Clip Viewer as an Edit Viewer.
If you don't know how to make a new edit – please see the video tutorials under 'Lightworks' –'Video Tutorials' on this site.
Why can you put a Clip Viewer into Record Mode? If you do that and perform a standard editing function, say insert, your Clip Viewer is replaced with an Edit Viewer with the function done. Your original Clip remains intact.

If you are good at what you do and don't push back, Spansion will pay you fairly and, if you are lucky, promote you. Keep in mind it's a company that rewards heroes and overtime, not working "smart".Cons
Most of its practices are from very old internal tradition, and it is pretty ingrown in what it thinks are "best practices". In fact it is marginal or poor in areas that it believes it is strong, such as product introduction.Advice to ManagementAdvice

An interview with Victor Levin, director of 5 to 7.
Errol Morris names his best movie; Celebrity impersonators on Twitter; Rise of Cryptopticon; Rise of the Christian film; Scientology's final say on "Going Clear."
Richard Brooks' "Bite the Bullet" is a finely crafted, epic Western about a cross-country horseback endurance race. It's set in 1906, at just that moment when the traditions of the old West were being challenged by the inroads of "civilization" from the East, and the advance guard is represented in the person of a newspaper reporter on a primitive motorcycle. His is the only internal-combustion vehicle we see, though, and it's as if this mixed bag of cowboys, drifters, gamblers and even a prostitute are unaware that their era has passed, that they're anachronisms.
Brooks (who, as he almost always does, wrote as well as directed) says his story is based on several actual cross-country races sponsored by newspapers and cities in the years between 1880 and 1910. The most famous was a 1908 race sponsored by the Denver Post, which put up $2,500 in prize money to the winner of a race from Evanston, WY to Denver - 700 miles - and it's this race Brooks takes as inspiration for "Bite the Bullet." The money is the same, the newspaper is called the Western Post and the route crosses a rugged terrain of desert, mountains and badlands. The newspaper has positioned supplies of water along the way, for those who can find them.
The various contestants are a nicely mixed bag, supplying various amounts of courage, shrewdness, avarice and meanness. One of them, interestingly enough, is a woman (played by Candice Bergen with resolute pluck) and the movie has a certain feminist bias, although that's not insisted on. Gene Hackman plays a Rough Rider who went up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt, James Coburn is a drifting gambler, Ben Johnson is an, old-timer who wants to achieve some kind of victory before he cashes in, and there's an Englishman and a Mexican and, of course, a Kid.
The Kid (Jan-Michael Vincent) mistreats and abuses his horse, introducing the movie's secondary subject, which is its great love and respect for horses. The opening sequence shows Hackman taking a colt from its dead mother and giving it a free ride to a nearby ranch. And throughout the film, the regard of the other contestants for their animals is counterpoint with the Kid's maltreatment of his horse. As if to underscore this theme, Brooks tells us in his program notes that not one horse was injured or came up lame in the film's arduous 64 days' shooting time.
That's no small achievement, since "Bite the Bullet" was filmed on locations as spectacularly beautiful as they were, no doubt, difficult. The most memorable location is in the middle of the White Sands National Monument, where the sand is a dazzling white and the horses and riders stand out against it, almost as specters. Throughout the film, Brooks finds locations suggesting the majesty, of the West and the special relationship between its unspoiled distances and the independence of the horsemen who moved through it. The race roughly parallels a railroad line, and the newspaper runs a special train that reports on the progress of the contestants, provides a source of food and shelter (and dance-hall girls) at night and allows Brooks to include a series of vignettes that reveal his gifts as a writer. He fashions dialog that's spare and realistic and filled with a quiet, sardonic humor.
And he gives all of his characters a scene or two where their special personalities emerge. One of the best of these is a sequence between Hackman and Bergen where he tells her about charging up San Juan Hill, turns to leave, pauses and, with a lovely bit of body language, turns to say, "That ain't the way it was at all," and then tells her how it really was.
Brooks is a proven master of the Western on a grand scale (the 1966 classic "The Professionals" was his) and "Bite the Bullet" is a film that reexamines and reaffirms the Western myth - both as it affected our history and as it has been considered in the movies. Film genres seem to go in cycles, and if last year's "Blazing Saddles" by Mel Brooks seemed to imply that the Western had lost all strength except as a clothesline on which to hang sight gags, "Bite the Bullet" finds the traditional power and integrity of the Western intact after all.

Thiensville — Police busted eight underage drinkers Saturday and ticketed three Thiensville men for providing the alcohol.
According to a department news release:
Following a report of loud music at an apartment, police responded to the 100 block of Grand Avenue at 11:55 p.m. Feb. 1 and were met at the apartment door by the three Thiensville men. The officer at the door noticed beers cans in the living room behind them.
At the same time the officer heard on another officer's radio that there was a large group of people running out a rear door. The second officer chased the group as they broke into another apartment within the complex, where they were found hiding in a closet.
The eight young men and women, ranging from 18 to 20-years-old, were all ticketed for underage drinking and resisting arrest. The three 21-year-old men who were hosting them at their apartment were ticketed for providing alcohol. In total police issued 19 citations.
This is the third underage drinking party broken up by area police since the beginning of the year. On Jan. 3 Mequon police arrested 33 underage drinkers and arrested the 57-year-old woman supplying them alcohol, and on Jan. 18 busted eight teenagers and the 52-year-old man hosting them.

Continuing Breach Theory
Mar 24
Continuing Breach Theory Does Not Apply to Disability Insurance Policy and Plaintiff's Entire Claim Is Time-Barred
In Curry v. Trustmark Insurance Company, No. 13-1995 (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Feb. 6, 2015), the Court considered the statute of limitations to a disability insurance policy and specifically rejected the continuing breach theory, which in this case meant that Plaintiff's entire suit was time-barred. Plaintiff had filed a lawsuit contending that Trustmark (the "Insurer") breached the parties' contract by refusing to pay benefits to Plaintiff under a disability insurance policy. The district court granted summary judgment on procedural grounds, i.e., disposing of Plaintiff's claim based on Maryland's statute of limitations. With respect to the portion of Plaintiff's action that fell within the limitations period, the district court ruled against Plaintiff on the merits. The appellate court affirmed the district court's judgment, but based on the conclusion that Plaintiff's lawsuit was time-barred in its entirety.
Factually, the Plaintiff was a chiropractor who operated his own practice. Pursuant to his disability insurance policy, the Insurer would pay monthly benefits to Plaintiff if a physical disability prevented him from working as a chiropractor. In order to determine Plaintiff's eligibility for benefits, the Policy also required him to submit written and continuing proof of loss and, if necessary, to submit to an independent medical examination ("IME"). In 2003, Plaintiff injured his back while performing an adjustment on a patient. He underwent spinal surgery and applied for disability benefits in early 2004. The Insurer began paying benefits to Plaintiff, subject to his providing information regarding the extent of his injury, condition, and expected recovery. For the next three (3) years, the Insurer paid Plaintiff monthly benefits under his insurance policy, all while attempting to establish his continued disability. The information provided by Plaintiff was inconsistent and incomplete. Consequently, in July 2007, the Insurer notified Plaintiff that it had discontinued his benefits, effective June 26, 2007, until it received the information it requested under the Policy. For the next year, the Insurer and Plaintiff exchanged correspondence regarding the discontinuation of benefits and the scope of the information requested by the Insurer. During that period, the Insurer extended three (3) additional months of benefits to Plaintiff. Finally, in the spring of 2008, the Insurer requested that Plaintiff undergo an IME to determine his continued eligibility for benefits, but the Plaintiff refused to submit to the IME unless the Insurer paid him additional benefits that he argued were owed to him from the Insurer. When Plaintiff failed to attend the IME, the Insurer denied any additional benefits, effective June 30, 2008, and closed Curry's claim on September 29, 2008.
On July 27, 2011, Curry filed suit against the Insurer, alleging breach of contract. In ruling on the Insurer's motion for summary judgment, the district court determined that Plaintiff's cause of action for breach of contract accrued anew each month benefits were not paid. Consequently, although the court concluded that Plaintiff's action for breach between September 25, 2007, and July 27, 2008, was untimely under Maryland's three (3) year statute of limitations, it addressed on the merits all alleged monthly breaches occurring after July 27, 2008. Because it found no breach of contract in the Insurer's requirement that Plaintiff submit to an IME and provide continuing proof of loss as a prerequisite for payment of his benefits, the district court granted summary judgment to the Insurer.
On appeal, the Fourth Circuit observed that the Maryland three (3) year statute of limitations typically begins to run from the date of the alleged breach. Actions arising from alleged breaches of a continuing contractual obligation, however, are not wholly barred by the statute of limitations merely because one or more of those alleged breaches occurred earlier in time. Rather, where a contract provides for continuing performance over a period of time, each successive breach of that obligation begins the running of the statute of limitations anew, with the result being that accrual occurs continuously and a plaintiff may assert claims for damages occurring within the statutory period of limitations. In this case, the district court determined that the Insurer breached the contract each time it failed to pay benefits for a period during which Plaintiff was disabled. Because it concluded that each failure to pay monthly benefits was a separate and independent breach, the district court found timely the claims for payment that were not due until after July 27, 2008.
The appellate court disagreed. Although it found no authoritative Maryland precedent applying the continuing breach theory to an insurance disability policy, the Maryland Court of Appeals had opined, in the context of a tort action that a similar theory does not apply to the continuing effects of a single earlier act. Maryland federal courts had also rejected a broad application of a continuing breach theory of accrual. In the insurance context, both the Tenth and Eleventh circuits rejected the idea that disability policies are installment contracts giving rise to continuing breaches for each monthly unpaid benefit. Further, in this situation, the issue was whether the disability benefits were owed in the first place. While Plaintiff contended that he was disabled under the insurance policy and owed benefits, the policy did not provide Plaintiff with an unconditional right to receive benefits in perpetuity—rather, his receipt of benefits was subject to his providing adequate continuing proof of loss, and the Insurer maintained that it did not owe Plaintiff additional benefits because he failed to provide continuing proof of loss. Because the alleged breach arose from the Insurer's denial that it owed Plaintiff benefits at all, no installment contract existed, and the continuing breach theory was not applicable. The Court was not persuaded by Plaintiff's argument that his claim accrued only after the Insurer formally closed his claim for benefits on September 29, 2008. The Court held that Plaintiff's cause of action for breach of contract arose, and the statute of limitations began to run, when the Insurer terminated Plaintiff's monthly benefit payments on June 30, 2008. Thus, the Fourth Circuit affirmed the decision of the district court granting summary judgment in favor of the Insurer, albeit on different grounds than the district court.

Alway keep your six covered
I bought one of these a while back (link). If it wasn't for the locks on it you would have no idea it was anything other than furniture. I have it turned to where the locks face the couch. So most people never even see the locks. Even sitting there you really don't pay attention to them. I have an end table that matches it that has three drawers.
I've never heard of a rental property that tried to negate the 2A. I think I'd wan to have a legal man challenge that.

As far as I know, in most states if the landlord or company owns the property, I would think they can deny guns from being in their units. I don't like it, but I would think its the same idea as a store/business owner posting a sign that reads "No firearms."
My recommendation other than the closet hanger thing, which is brilliant, is an under the bed safe.
Always have clean socks.
I.m not sure they can deny you guns in you unit. While they may own it, it is your domicile, and therefore, you have certain rights to have whatever you want, as long as it's legal. I think there are legal terms and laws for it, but I don't know what they are.
Drumjunkie, I followed your link to the table. And I clicked on the April 2013 link to the left. I will have to say, I'm more interested in the ladies' panties with the secret compartment. If my wife had those, I'd be constantly bumming a few bucks, even if I didn't need it.
The owners of the apartment have the right to put any exclusions that they wish in the lease. If you don't like it, you don't have to move there. I suspect that breaking that rule could get you evicted, just like moving a dog into a "no pet" place. The "rights" issue is a strange thing, other folks want their rights too.
That said, I would move in a gun safe for my stuff. It is no one's business what is in your safe.
"It is better to be too skeptical then too credulous"

Insanity. I'd tell the landlord exactly what i thought. A landlord cannot enter your residence without 24 or 48 hours notice (i cant remember exactly) unless it is a dire emergency. If they had to get in and then found your guns in your closet or underwear drawer, there could potentially be a serious lawsuit( considering they are legal otherwise and its not a 1919 you are hiding) I fought this battle twice in my time, and refused to rent ever again. As a renter you have a ton of rights. Become informed on those and make sure your landlord is aware that you are not a dumb pushover
[QUOTE="Papa_Woody" A landlord cannot enter your residence without 24 or 48 hours notice[/QUOTE]
I believe this is one of those things which is dependent on the state you live in. Possibly even the locality. Heck, it might even come down to the specific terms of your lease.
Legally in the states the most that the landlord could would be start an eviction proccess which can take up to 90 days sometimes less sometimes more depending on the state.
Having a gun in your domicile under lease isnt breaking a law just a rental agreement. Under eviction in wisconsin the landlord can keep your deposit.
Your state law may vary. Some states its excessively difficult to evict anyone for any reason.
If you choose to go the safe route check the load capacity of your flooring. Some safes can be dangerously heavy.

I know a lot of folks say the Blichmann Beer Gun "isn't as easy as it looks," but in the Youtube videos I've looked up, and at the brewery last week watching them fill with one, it looks like a dead easy solution -- no foaming, even if the bottles and gun aren't kept perfectly chilled. Meanwhile, I've been futzing around with my picnic tap/air needle/bottling wand contraption for a few months, and I find it a bit irritating; I've now had three picnic taps from two different stores start leaking after a use or two, making it impossible to use for bottling -- the small leak keeps letting pressure into the bottle, and you just can't get a "perfect" fill. Makes bottling for a comp frustrating.
As far as I can tell, if you omit the CO2 aspect of the beer gun, it's just a bottling wand with a trigger valve. I already flush my bottles with CO2 and a spare air line, so would a racking cane, valve contraption and disconnect not do more or less the same thing?
Or, should I just pony up to $100 and buy the Beer Gun?
If your only filling a couple of bottle, then use BM's beer gun. If your doing several sixers or more of bottles. Pony up for the beer gun. The thing is easy to use, just a slight pain in the arse to set up and dissasemble.
I used our clubs the blichman a few weeks ago to free up a few kegs. After about 3 cases worth of bottles. I'm sold and will likely buy my own. Dead simple, easy to setup and clean, and I get excellent bottle conditions and no loss of carbonation!
I borrowed a friends Beer Gun a couple months ago. I was only filling 10 bottles, but the BG worked amazingly well. I already have a spare gas line that was easy to hook up to. I'll definitely be getting my own in the near future.

Floor board gap spacing
I'm about to start laying my composite floor boards (MoistureShield) but wanted to run something by everyone. The manufacturer's instructions state to leave 1/8th inch gap on butt joints but a full 1/4 inch gap between boards...this sounds excessive to me. I can understand leaving some space for water drainage and board expansion but this sounds too big...does anyone have any experiences/advice to give? Thanks.
Moisure Shield is some good material,far as manmade goes,but I dont agree with the 1/4'' space between butt joints either. I push them right together and it works just fine over here in Cow Town. It could be different in areas with more extreem weather. J.
Thanks, John...it was your positive opinion of MoistureShield that got me to lose the ipe battle with my wife without being totally miserable. The weather here is much more extreme...occasional lows in the single digits during winter and highs in the upper 90s during summer. My big concern about narrower spacing is the warranty...if something does happen, would the manufacturer void the warranty?
Man is that stuff spendy or what?$$ ghesssss
The expanding and contacting might buckel a joint like that but a 1/4''... I just cant see that happening unless the frame moved. Usually its not the temp its water geting in causing problems. MS is rated for docks with water all over the place.
But of course if push came to shove they might baulk. Tell you what I will give my sales rep and call and get back to ya. J.
Thanks, John! Yeah, that stuff is expensive, especially the "Rainforest" series that we purchased. Pretty darn heavy too and moving a 20 footer isn't easy with as flexible as this stuff is. I greatly appreciate the effort with calling your sales rep...for the sake of my warranty if something does go wrong, I guess I'll stick to the 1/4 inch.
Really a 1/4'' space between boards is pretty smart any less than that and it fills up quick.
Kevin was saying in 16' Moisture Shield will come and go 1/16 or so in leangth,mabey,but not more than that. Its a given the material will not fall apart but it might buckel a little. Feel free to give Him a call 1 479 871 2992 pretty good dude rides a Softail.

New director wants transparency, public involvement and updated tech
The new director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said today he wants to emphasize public engagement, transparency and information technology modernization of the immigration agency during his term.
To meet those goals, Alejandro Mayorkas said he has created a new Office of Public Engagement and is debuting a new, interactive Web site Sept. 22 that will allow for public feedback on agency policy and proposals. The updated Web site also will allow for greater ease of use and more access to information about pending requests and applications.
USCIS' involvement with community stakeholders "should be more of a collaborative effort, engaged and interactive," Mayorkas said. "We want to have the community involved at a level where we can understand what we are doing well -- and what we are doing wrong."
Another high priority is moving forward on implementing the next stages of the USCIS' information technology transformation project, which will digitize the agency's paper-based records systems, Mayorkas said. The project was started in 2005 and is expected to cost more than $500 million.
"We are currently a paper-based agency, and we have to move into the electronic age," Mayorkas said. "The modernization is already under way. It is of critical importance to the future of this agency, and critically important to me."
The agency began the transformation project to reduce its backlog of 1.5 million cases. For the first year, little progress was made, but since 2006 the program has been moving forward, according to a recent report from the Homeland Security Department's inspector general. The IG and USCIS officials disagreed on how much progress has been made.
Mayorkas, a Cuban immigrant, was sworn in Aug. 24 to head the nation's immigration and naturalization systems. He previously served as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California and was a partner at the O'Melveny and Myers law firm.
Mayorkas told reporters at an informal news conference today that the agency is taking steps to prepare for Congress' action on comprehensive immigration reform and for the possible expansion of the E-Verify employment verification program to all employers. But the agency has not yet developed detailed plans or budget estimates.
"We are not assuming anything, but we want to be prepared," Mayorkas said. For E-Verify, for example, the agency is evaluating the possibility of adding a fingerprint biometric, as suggested by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and others, he said. The evaluations are in the early stages, and no cost estimates or feasibility studies are available at this time, he said.
For an expanded E-Verify and for expansion of legal immigrant applications, USCIS is evaluating possible increased capacity for its databases and for communication mechanisms to handle the increased workload, Mayorkas added. No budget estimates or database need estimates were available.

What a joke. USCIS is slower than ever. I have been waiting well over a year for my wife's simple forms to be processed. It's been transferred to three different states for processing already. Their inexcusable slowness has cost my household over $60,000 in lost income. They have a standard of service that would be utterly unacceptable in private industry and also would not be tolerated if most of their customers were not foreigners. This is the only time besides tax filings that I've ever dealt with the federal government and it has left me with nothing but bitterness and ill-will towards government employees.
Time value of Quality
This project seemed to have been completed hurriedly , the day this new portal was launched i received an "automatic" denial and then a motion to reconsider approval notice within a span of three hours.
When the petitioner and the attorney called customer thrice, all three representatives supervisors reported the bugs in the new systems and were not sure though were extra polite in the call handling.
I wish i could point out the gaps in both the software development process and the business process. Right now my contact position is put on hold because of the mutually exclusive status emails generated by the new system.

Extremely NoisyPosted Feb 20, 2015
Pros: Location
Cons: Deal with noise issues !! Serious stuff, people go there for climate and peace and quiet.
As indicated above the hotel was respectable and clean, but extremely noisy, you could hear people talking as if they were standing 10 ft away from you, hear them snaring..... never got one good nights rest on the entire vacation, Never again for me !! Yours Sincerely Ed

Great location.Posted Feb 2, 2015
Love the location of this condo. Each unit is individually owned, so they will vary. FANTASTIC beach directly across the street with FABULOUS snorkelling.

Good location.Posted Dec 5, 2014
Pros: Condo, didn't have to eat every meal out.
Cons: We were late check-in. Everything was in an envelope posted on the board. We did have a bit of a problem finding our room.
Location: Beaches right across the street.
Our daughter moved to Maui 2 months ago. so it was great to be able to spend time with her. We cooked a Thanksgiving meal with her.

The room was clean and roomy. The view was awesome. Had fun at the pool and the grill was super. The location of this room was near multiple store and eating places. It was a very relaxing and comfortable setting. Walking distance to the beach too. Great location. We'll be back for sure.

Always a Great Place to StayPosted Oct 11, 2014 on Hotels.com
As always, Kihei Akahi is a great place to stay. This time we had a 2 bedroom condo on the 2nd floor and in the past we stayed in a 1 bedroom on the 6th floor. Kihei has great beaches and many restaurants within walking distance. We have made four trips and have enjoyed every one of them.

Nice studio very close to the beach.Posted Oct 11, 2014
Pros: The central location to beaches and activities, the peace and quiet. .
Cons: I had a minor snafu after calling to extend my stay by half a day ( I got locked out in spite of paying for said services) A phone call fixed it.
Location: There are beaches/beach parks within walking distance. There are restaurants, markets, stores for souvenirs, and if you rent a car that's even better.
I stayed in Building D room #116. It was a nice place at a reasonable rate, with a kitchen, safe, and front loading washer/dryer.The A/C worked good, but it did occasionally make a 'vibrating' sound that could get annoying. There was also free assigned parking close to the unit. I really liked this place a lot, and would go back in a heartbeat. This unit is located in the very last building on the property. You have to walk a little further to the beach, (across the street).

Really nice rental condo hotel. Our bed was a little bit rough but overall, it's at a great location and the condos are all in very good conditions.
