10. The invention according to claim 9 and further including a vertical adapter unit for selective placement in surrounding relation to at least a part of said central support member to provide a horizontally disposed surface for supporting a filter unit in a higher position than that in which it would be supported by said central support member.
The present invention relates to centrifugal extractors and, more particularly, to improvements in equipment for extracting moisture from rotary filter elements following a washing operation.
Many types of vehicles and equipment utilize in the air intakes of their engines a filter in the form of a suitable filtering media contained between inner and outer concentric cylinders of perforated metal, closed at the ends by annular metal discs. As the media collects particles from the air passing therethrough it becomes increasingly more difficult for air to flow at the required rate, making replacement necessary. The working environment of some equipment requires replacement of the filters at very frequent intervals.
Due to the cost and construction of this type of rotary filter, it is more economical to restore the media to more or less its original condition by washing, rinsing and drying, rather than discarding the unit after a single use. To this end, the prior art includes a number of types of apparatus for washing and/or rinsing such filter elements, including applicant's U.S. Pat. No. 4,299,245. Centrifugal-type extractors for spinning such filter units to extract a significant portion of the fluid therefrom following the washing and rinsing operation has also been devised, the most pertinent example of which applicant is aware being that of U.S. Pat. No. 4,090,309. The apparatus of the present invention differs from such prior art principally in the provision of the features set forth in the following objects of the invention.
In a general sense, the principal is to provide novel and improved centrifugal extraction apparatus for removing fluid from rotary air filter units following washing.
More specifically, objects of the invention are to provide centrifugal extraction equipment having improved mounting means for the rotating support for open, cylindrical air filters, and to provide simple yet practical means for supporting rotary air filter having a wide variety of outer diameters and axial lengths upon the rotating portion of centrifugal extraction apparatus.
Other objects will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
The equipment of the present invention includes a housing which encloses the filter in process, i.e., which is being rotated for centrifugal extraction of the liquid contained therein, and its rotating support means. A hinged cover on top of the housing provides access to the interior for mounting and removing the filter units. An electric drive motor is connected by a belt to a pulley on the end of a shaft extending through the bottom of the housing with appropriate seals and bearings.
A base member of the rotating support means is attached to the upper end of the shaft, within the housing. A support plate is yieldably supported in spaced relation to the base member by a plurality of bolts which extend through aligned openings in the base member and support plate, and are biased apart by compressed coil springs surrounding the bolts. A central support member having a conical lower portion and cylindrical upper portion is attached to the support plate at its center.
A plurality of hollow tubes are affixed to and extend upwardly from equally spaced points on the support plate. A first annular ring is attached to the tops of the hollow tubes and has openings aligned therewith. A second annular ring carries a second plurality of tubes which extend downwardly therefrom for telescoping engagement with the hollow tubes on the support plate, thereby providing vertical adjustability of the second ring with respect to the first. Detent pins are provided for releasably fixing the relative positions of the telescoping tubes.
The central openings in the vertically aligned annular rings are large enough to accept the largest outer diameter of filter unit, e.g., 14 inches, contemplated for use with the extractor apparatus of the invention. A filter of this diameter may thus be placed in the housing, through the two annular rings to rest upon the conical portion of the central support member. The vertical position of the upper annular plate is adjusted in accordance with the axial length of the filter unit, to encircle the latter slightly below its upper end.
A plurality of annular discs are provided, each having an outer diameter slightly less than that of the two annular rings and different, predetermined inner diameters corresponding to the nominal outside diameters of a variety of filter units with which the extractor apparatus is contemplated for use. When filter units having outside diameters smaller than that of the largest units to be processed, a disc of appropriate inner diameter is chosen and placed upon the upper annular ring with a pair of fixed lugs on the upper ring surface extending through openings in the disc. Thus, the filter unit will be laterally constrained either by the two annular rings or by the selected disc.
A lower spacer element is also provided which may be placed over the central support member to serve as an underlying support for filter units of short axial length so that they will extend through and be laterally constrained by the superposed annular rings or annular disc.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, with portions broken away, of a preferred embodiment of the extractor apparatus of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view in section on the line 2--2 of FIG. 1, showing a rotary filter unit in phantom lines mounted in the apparatus;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of an annular disc for optional use with the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 2, with an accompanying table of suggested dimensions of such discs;
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the apparatus, with portions in section, showing the use of the annular discs with a second size of filter unit;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a lower spacer member for optional use with the extractor apparatus; and
FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of the rotatable support means, showing the use of both the annular discs and the lower support member with a third size of filter unit.
Turning now to the drawings, the extractor apparatus comprises a box-like housing 10 having a hinged cover or lid 12 on its upper side, lower wall 14 and side walls 16. Lid 12 is preferably of Plexiglas, or other transparent material, to permit viewing the interior of the apparatus during operation. Drive motor 18 is supported on shelf 20 at one side of housing 10 with its drive shaft 22 directed downwardly, through shelf 20. Pulley 24 is mounted on the end of shaft 22 and transmits rotation through belt 26 to pulley 28, carried on the lower end of shaft 30.
Conventional seals 32 and bearings 34 provided a sealed opening in bottom housing wall 14 through which shaft 30 extends. The upper end of shaft 30 carries plate 36 which is attached by bolts 38 to base member 40 of the rotatable filter support means. Rotation is thus imparted to the support means through the shafts, pulleys and belt, from motor 18 which is connected to an appropriate power source, indicated in FIG. 2 by reference numeral 42, through switch 44. This switch is mounted on the upper surface of housing 10 for actuation by lid 12, whereby power may be supplied to motor 18 only when the lid is closed. If desired, a second, manually operable, switch may be provided so that lid 12 may be closed without actuating motor 18, but switch 44 would in any case act as a safety means, preventing inadvertent actuation while a filter unit is being placed upon or removed from, the rotatable support means. Also preferably provided is a conventional, selectively actuated, speed control means (not shown) for motor 18.
Support plate 46 is mounted upon base member 40 by means of bolts 48 which extend through aligned openings in member 40 and plate 46 which are biased in spaced relation by coil springs 50 which encircle each bolt and are compressed between the base member and support plate. A central support member 51 having lower, conical portion 52 and upper, cylindrical portion 54 is affixed to support plate 46 by a threaded shaft extending through central openings in both the support member and plate, secured at the top and bottom by nuts 56.
Affixed to and extending upwardly from the upper surface of support plate 46 at evenly spaced intervals are hollow tubes 58, a total of four in the disclosed embodiment. A first annular ring 60 is fixedly attached to the upper ends of tubes 58, having openings aligned with the tubes to allow access from above to the hollow interior of the tubes. Second annular ring 62 has fixedly attached to and extending downwardly from the lower surface thereof a second plurality of tubes 64 for slidable, telescoping engagement with tubes 58. Spring loaded detent means 66 on tubes 58 and a vertically aligned row of openings 68 in each of tubes 64 provide means for releasably fixing the vertical position of ring 62.
As shown in phantom lines in FIG. 2, a conventional rotary air filter 70, of a type commonly used on many types of heavy equipment and vehicles, is placed within housing 10, through the openings in rings 60 and 62. Filter 70 is cylindrical, having an outer diameter D, with a cylindrical opening of diameter d therethrough. The body of filter 70 is formed from concentric cylinders of perforated aluminum, or other such material, closed at each end by annular rings and contains a suitable filtering media for removing dust and other solid particles from air passing therethrough when in use in the associated equipment.
Filter 70 represents the largest filter, in terms of outer diameter D, which the extractor apparatus of the illustrated embodiment is designed to process. This is determined by the diameter of the openings in annular rings 60 and 62, which is slightly larger than diameter D. Filter 70 rests upon central support member 51 at a point on conical portion 52 thereof having a diameter equal to dimension d. The vertical height of ring 62 is adjusted in the manner previously described to a position a short distance (which is by no means critical) below the upper end of filter 70.
As described in the introductory part of the present specification, filter 70 has been used to the point that it requires cleaning, and has been washed and rinsed to remove the collected dust, etc. from the media. Following the washing and rinsing operation, filter 70 is placed in housing 10 as described, lid 12 is closed and power supplied to motor 18, thereby rotating the elements attached to plate 36 at a desired speed. Filter 70 rests upon central support member 51 and is laterally constrained by annular rings 60 and 62, but requires no support or constraint on the top. As filter 70 is rotated a significant portion of the water and/or other cleaning and rinsing fluids contained thereby are extracted by centrifugal force, being removed from housing 10 through drain opening 72 (FIG. 1).
Turning now to FIG. 3, there is shown a flat, annular disc 74 having outer and inner diameters indicated as dimensions "A" and "B", respectively. A pair of openings 76 are provided on opposite sides of disc 74 for alignment with lugs 78 on the upper surface of annular ring 62. A set of discs such as 74 are provided for use with the extractor apparatus, all discs in the set having the same "A" dimension, but different "B" dimensions. The table shown in FIG. 3 provides a listing eight suggested disc designations ("No."), all discs having an "A" dimension of 20", and various "B" dimensions corresponding to (or slightly larger than) the outside diameter D of standard sizes of filter units with which the extractor apparatus is contemplated to be used. The suggested "B" dimension values in the table correspond to the vast majority of rotary filter diameters in use at the present time which would be processed in the extractor apparatus of the invention. Discs such as 74 may be fabricated of plywood or other such materials and thus do not add significantly to the cost of the system.
When a filter having an outside diameter smaller than "D" is to be processed, a disc is chosen with a "B" dimension corresponding to the filter OD and is placed on ring 62 with lugs 78 extending through openings 76. Pins 80 are then inserted through holes in lugs 78 to secure the disc on the ring. The filter to be processed is inserted through the disc opening, to rest upon central support member 51 and the vertical position of ring 62 adjusted as before. Such an arrangement is shown in FIG. 4, wherein filter unit 82 is mounted in housing 10 and will be laterally constrained at a position slightly below its upper end by disc 74, all other portions of the apparatus being the same as in FIGS. 1 and 2 and therefore indicated by common reference numerals.
Provision is also made for the processing of filter units having an axial length less than the vertical distance between the position at which it would be supported on central support member 51 and ring 60. Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, adapter unit 84 includes lower and upper hollow cylindrical portions 86 and 88, respectively. Opening 90, having a diameter slightly larger than that at the base of conical portion 52 of support member 51, is provided in lower wall 92 of adapter unit 84, and upper portion 88 thereof is open at its upper end. Adapter unit 84 is dimensioned for placement over central support member 51 as shown in FIG. 6, whereby filter units of relatively short axial dimensions, such as that indicated by reference numeral 94 may rest upon flat, annular surface 96 to extend through and be laterally restrained by rings 60 and 62 or one of discs 74 mounted upon the latter. Operation is the same as previously described.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the objects of the invention are achieved by the disclosed extractor apparatus, which provides for operation with rotary filter units of a wide variety of diameters and axial lengths. By way of example, a commercial model of such apparatus is capable of operation with filters from 71/2 inches to 14 inches in outside diameter and from 8 inches to 23 inches an axial length. The filter units may be very easily and quickly mounted in and removed from the apparatus, simply resting upon a lower support and requiring no upper support or constraint. Likewise, adaptation of the unit for use with filter units of differing diameters and lengths is very simple, quick and inexpensive, requiring only the insertion and removal of suitably dimensioned annular discs and/or vertical adapter units. Furthermore, the resilient mounting of the filter-carrying portions of the apparatus relative to other rotatable portions helps to compensate for any wobble or out-of-balance conditions which may be encountered during rotation.

ISO vegetarian or seafood recipes with red wine
I have some red wine that I dislike enough to not drink (this is a first). I know lots of ways to use white wine with seafood and/or vegetables, but red? I'm stumped. But I hate to waste it, even though it is terrible, terrible stuff. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Well, you're gonna get lots of responses (or, should) saying, essentially, "Any wine not good enough to drink is not good enough to cook with." But that doesn't answer your question, I guess.
Maybe in a risotto? I usually use white wine, since the red will (obviously) give the entire dish a dark color. But then again, so does squid ink risotto, or other versions. Dark does not equal poor taste.
re: santamonica811
Your first point is valid, but just as people seek uses for tough cuts of meat or wilted lettuce, I would like to try to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Risotto is certainly a possibility, although it would be frightening to look at, so thanks, and I will muse on that.
re: small h
Bad red wine and seafood.... I'm just not feeling it. Why not use the wine for some strongly-spiced veggie chili or a hearty pasta sauce?
re: visciole
That is also a good idea, but could you point me toward an actual recipe? There are areas where I'm good with improvisation, but this isn't one of them.
re: small h
Um, I don't really use recipes for stuff like chili, so unfortunately I can't. However, I do know that the old Silver Palate book had a recipe for chili con carne which I adapted at some point long ago to be vegetarian, and that recipe uses red wine and mustard, which I always now use in my chili.
As for pasta sauces I think many red sauce recipes contain red wine, I'm sure if you were to Google it you'd get some recipes.
here are a few ideas:
Red Wine Pasta
Potatoes with Shantarelles and Shallots
Brussel Sprouts (scroll down
Grilled Marinated Shrimp
Trout Poached in Red wine
re: Emme
On the hervivoracious site you linked to (and thanks for that, it's a great resource), I found this:
which I made tonight. It's very fine. I added potatoes and omitted the olives, 'cause that's what was going on in my fridge: potatoes, no olives.
There's a marinara sauce that uses red wine.. that we quite like: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/rec... There's also no reason why you couldn't freeze some of the wine if you aren't going to use it right away. :)
re: maplesugar
Thanks! That looks like a great idea.
re: maplesugar
I made this sauce today, but it was not to my taste. I haven't liked pasta sauce with sugar in the past, and...I still don't. And the long cooking time made it kinda sludgy. But the recipe is a good jumping off place, because now I'm reasonably sure I can throw red wine into any red sauce and get something decent.
Would it work for making red wine vinegar? Richard Olney used to make his own, fetching half-empty glasses after a party and pouring them into a wooden barrel to ferment.
Smitten Kitchen has a mushroom bourguignon that would be perfect for your needs: http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/01/mus...
re: ChristinaMason
I made this tonight, and it was excellent. Much obliged.
If you want to stick with the seafood idea, you can make cioppino. No recipe, but my version is a hybrid/outgrowth of Ina Garten and Giada DeLaurentis recipes. The FoodNetwork site is acting up so I can't post the links, but you can find lots of cioppino recipes online.
I had the same problem once a few years ago, and I improvised a strange-sounding but delicious sauce. Here ya go . . .
Purple Pasta Sauce
Made this for dinner with mini penne pasta tonight -- looks weird but is totally yummy. Enjoy.
2 C. red wine
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. honey
1/4 tsp. cracked pepper
5" sprig rosemary
2 roma tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1. Combine the red wine, garlic, soy sauce, honey, pepper, and rosemary in a small saucepan, and reduce by about 2/3.
2. Add chopped tomatoes and simmer for five minutes.
3. Purée in blender, then strain back into saucepan through a fine mesh sieve.
4. Add butter, stir until melted.
5. Pour over pasta and serve topped with parmesan cheese if desired.
re: operagirl
Soy sauce, interesting. I will give this a try, minus the honey, because I have just today re-affirmed my dislike of sweet sauces. Thank you!
re: small h
You're welcome! Let me know how it turns out =)
re: Marge
Altoona Hills Shiraz (2006). Kosher for Passover. It seems to have some fans. I am not among them. And I am not - repeat, not - picky about wine.
re: small h
Thanks--I'll make sure to avoid that one!! If you like squid, this recipe for squid stewed in red wine is pretty good.http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.co...
I posted this on a lentil recipe thread a while ago. It's vegetarian and uses red wine.
I second the tip wrt freezing leftover wine. I freeze leftover red wine because I don't typically drink wine that often (if I do alcohol, I prefer cocktails). That has saved me from dumping the remaining contents of a bottle many times!

Worldwide purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) factory revenues posted no year-over-year growth, totaling just under $655.3 million, in the third quarter of 2012 (3Q12), according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Purpose-Built Backup Appliance Tracker. However, the total PBBA open systems market posted just under $567.5 million in revenues, representing 6.4% growth from the prior year's third quarter. The total worldwide PBBA capacity shipped reach 366,956 terabytes, growing 37.5% year over year.
"The total worldwide PBBA market remained flat in the third quarter of 2012 over the prior year. However, the open systems portion of the PBBA market did experience some revenue growth," said Robert Amatruda, research director, Data Protection and Recovery. "We believe the leveling off of revenue growth in the worldwide PBBA market in the third quarter of 2012 is a short-term phenomenon with customers defering spending on data protection and recovery products. We remain very upbeat at the long-term growth opportunities for the PBBA market with the underlying customer drivers remaining unchanged. Customers will continue to embrace PBBAs to improve their backup windows and recovery time objectives or modernize their backup infrastructure."
Total Worldwide PBBA 3Q12 Results
EMC maintained its lead in the overall PBBA market with 66.6% revenue share in the third quarter, followed by IBM and Symantec with 10.8% and 6.8% market share, respectively. Symantec exhibited strong year-over-year growth in the PBBA market in the third quarter of 2012 while HP and IBM saw their revenues decline.

Source: IDC Worldwide Purpose Built Backup Appliance Quarterly Tracker, December 19, 2012
Taxonomy Notes:
IDC defines a purpose-built backup appliance (PBBA) as a standalone disk-based solution that utilizes software, disk arrays, server engine(s), or nodes that are used for a target for backup data and specifically data coming from a backup application (e.g., NetWorker, NetBackup, TSM, and Backup Exec) or can be tightly integrated with the backup software to catalog, index, schedule, and perform data movement. The PBBA products are deployed in standalone configurations or as gateways. PBBA solutions deployed in a gateway configuration connect to and store backup data on general-purpose storage. Here, the gateway device is serving as the component that is purpose built solely for backup and not for supporting any other workload or application. Regardless of packaging (as an appliance or gateway), PBBAs can have multiple interfaces or protocols. Also, PBBAs often can provide and receive replication to or from remote sites and a secondary PBBA for the purpose of disaster recovery (DR).
IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Purpose Built Backup Appliance Tracker provides vendor share, market size, and forecasts for purpose-built backup appliances. IDC provides key market insights and growth for vendors participating in the PBBA market as well as those that may introduce new products. Revenue and capacity for disk systems behind PBBA gateways is included in the PBBA market sizing and also in the forecast.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from ha...

Speed Up Caramelized Onionsby Food Network Magazine in Food Network Magazine, December 26th, 2012
Hot Tips From Food Network Kitchens' Katherine Alford:
Caramelizing onions can take a while, but adding a big pinch of sugar will make them brown faster. The extra sugar caramelizes along with the onions' natural sugars, helping the onions get brown in a hurry. We used this shortcut for the burger topping in Food Network Magazine's French Onion Burgers.

Comments about Eco-Products® Evolution World™ 24% PCF Hot Drink Cup, 8 oz., Peach, 1000/Carton:
Be forewarned, these cups are HOT to touch. In attempts to become more eco friendly, these cups were the choice. However, once coffee is poured into the cup, the cup becomes VERY HOT to touch! No longer will this cup be purchased. FYI, these cups are not adaptable to sleeve covers either!

Family-owned Foster Farms proved it's not "chicken" to be the first large scale poultry producer in the West to have its products overlooked by the American Humane Association.

Whoever came up with the phrase "out with the old and in with the new" never thought of recycling their resources.

When discussing the current drought in California, there is often talk of desalination and its potential to increase our freshwater supply. Desalination, the process of removing salt and minerals from saline water, seems like an obvious solution to the drought and ongoing water scarcity concerns because it is a reliable, drought-proof water source. Indeed, many new desalination plants have been proposed along the California coast and a number of them are already in operation, such as in Monterey and Carlsbad. While desalination may be a reliable option, the answer is much more complicated.

Charlize Theron went shopping yesterday. That is not big news. What is big news it that she wore microscopic shorts and showed off an amazing pair of legs, looking better than most women on their wedding day. Seriously, nobody looks that hot when just wandering to the shops (obviously we do, but that's because of our classical, granite hewn good looks, which are impossible to hide under even the scuzziest of outfits - it is a curse). She truly is a hero.
The 34-year-old Oscar winner was buying groceries at somewhere called Ralph's. We don't know what that is but it doesn't sound like a fancy A-lister's shop. When asked for a comment, a nearby sign said "Let's get grillin'". Everyone agreed this made no sense, but it was their own fault for asking a sign what it thought.

Captive Hero: Time-Shift Heroes Series
Posted March 10, 2013
Intensely Emotional With Immensely Likable Characters.....
A lot happens in Donna Michaels' Captive Heart and just when you think you have it figured out something happens to completely catch you off guard. As the starter story to a new series the framework for an intriguing premise of time travel is set up (though with virtually no explanation or understanding of how the event occurs) with dashes of past life experiences and what it means to find your true mate and how the power of love always prevails.Was this review helpful?

The connection between Mitch and Samantha is there from the start but is allowed to slowly simmer to an immensely satisfying conclusion that rips your heart out along the way. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good and it spoke volumes about the h/h that they were willing to put their faith in Fate to do what was right. From the beginning you know these characters will be heroic as Samantha has risen high in the ranks of the Marines through her mental and physical strength. She's strong-willed and doesn't back down from a fight and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Mitch's world gets turned upside down the moment that Samantha kidnaps him to set the timeline she disrupted back in order. For the first few chapters he thinks she's a spy which allows for some fiery verbal bantering with sexually tense undertones. Once he sees the proof though he easily transitions into modern times surrounded by people equally accepting of time travel. Mitch is a real man's man and doesn't want to rely on Samantha through the transition and luckily falls into just the right job with others easily accepting everything about him which at times seemed a bit unbelievable. Just when you think they've reached their HEA though Mitch's honor gets in the way as his true purpose is revealed which means the lovers are separated once again. The ramifications of this are heartbreaking and the emotional rollercoaster that followed had me screaming as we waited for Fate to set things right in a satisfying conclusion that pulls at your heart strings.
The sexual interludes between Samantha and Mitch were loving yet steamy and evolved at a believable pace and were nicely spaced throughout the story. The cast of secondary characters were delightful with each showing hints of emotional baggage that I look forward to learning more about as each deserves their own HEAs. Maria, Samantha's friend and co-pilot, was particularly fun with the rapid-fire humorous banter occurring between her and Samantha. It brought some comic relief to a story full of emotional intensity and has me already rooting for her to find true love in the next installment in this series.
Ms. Michaels has created a thoughtprovoking story that nicely blends two paranormal elements in an ultimately satisfying story. With a memorable cast of secondary characters there's great promise of more stories to come and I highly recommend this to fans of the paranormal and sci-fi genre.

The Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has regulations governing on-campus employment for students in F-1 status.
NOTE: If a student works for more than one on-campus employer, the total number of hours worked from all jobs cannot exceed 20 hours per week.
Current immigration regulations do allow off-campus employment for student in F-1 status based on economic hardship.
In order to be eligible, the student must:
The regulations require that students make a good faith effort to locate employment on campus before applying for employment authorization based on economic hardship.
The regulations offer examples of unforeseen circumstances that may cause economic hardship, including the loss of scholarship or on-campus employment without fault on the part of the student, substantial fluctuations in the value of currency or exchange rates, inordinate increases in tuition and/or living costs, unexpected changes in the financial condition of a student's sponsor, medical bills, or other substantial and unexpected expenses.
Employment is limited to no more than 20 hours per week when school is in session, full-time during holidays or vacation periods. Employment authorization is automatically terminated when a student fails to maintain status. Students may work for an employer at any job, anywhere in the United States. A job offer is not required in advance of obtaining employment authorization. Employment may not commence until the student receives the work authorization (EAD) card from the Bureau of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
Students seeking employment authorization based on economic hardship will need to meet with the director or associate director of international education at NYIT, fill out the necessary application forms, and apply by mail to the USCIS Vermont Service Center to obtain an employment authorization document (EAD), which will be valid for one-year intervals. There is a $340 fee for the EAD.
It can take up to 12 weeks for the EAD card to be processed by the USCIS Vermont Service Center. Therefore, students are urged to allow sufficient processing time for this procedure by submitting their paperwork early.
Employment may not commence until the student obtains the EAD.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is employment directly related to your field of study. CPT may be a paid or unpaid internship, practicum, or other type of employment offered by a sponsoring employer through a cooperative agreement with the school. It may take place during the academic year or the summer.
If CPT is required as part of your curriculum, it will be listed under the department's degree requirements and course offerings. All students in that program are required to complete an internship or practicum.
CPT may be recommended to you if it is beneficial but is not required for completion of the degree. You must register for a minimum of a one-credit internship, practicum, or field study course listed in the college catalog. As an F-1 student, you must be enrolled on a full-time basis for at least one academic year before you are eligible.
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is defined as paid employment directly related to your field of study. As an F-1 student, you must be enrolled on a full-time basis for at least one academic year before you are eligible. OPT is limited to a total of 12 months. You may be eligible for another 12 months upon pursuing another academic degree.
NOTE: F-2 dependents may not accept employment or be enrolled full time.

Linda Hogan and Charlie Hill: Engaged!by Free Britney at . Comments
After an contentious, ugly split from Hulk Hogan and an unusual courtship with a (much) younger man, Linda Hogan and Charlie Hill are getting married.
Sometimes you gotta marry your daughter's classmate. You know how it is.
Linda is 50 and Charlie 21. They began dating over two years ago. At least Hill, who went to school with Brooke Hogan, can drink at his own wedding.
The Brooke Knows Best star and wannabe singer, who has gone on record with her opinion of the couple, looks down on the union: "I personally don't like it at all or condone it. But she's my mom, so I have to show her support,'' she said.
Charlie Hill first got with cougar Linda Hogan at age 19.
According to some reports, the pair will wed on the Alimoney, the yacht that Linda got in the bitter divorce, finalized last year. Classy name for a boat.
Will Hulk, who's gotten re-engaged himself, to Brooke look-alike Jennifer McDaniel, give the couple his blessing? Surprisingly, it looks like he might.
"I'm ecstatic for her, I'm very happy for them. I think they're perfect for each other. I wish them the best," he said in a statement to Radar Online.
Hulk's attorney offered similar well wishes for Linda Hogan and a desire to put the combative period in the former couple's lives behind them.
Congrats, Linda and Charlie! Think it will last?

Sure, Hulk is going to encourage Linda to move forward with her romance with Charlie Hill,And saying they look great as a couple because "Hogan knows best". Who do you think will get the last laugh?

For some reason if I forget to type my name in the name box it say's
Brooke my dad used to say, if you want to know what a woman is going to look like, look at her mom, I really think he was right where you, and linda are concerned.
Im mad about you, and I think your mom is a really cool chick when she is not slamming you, not to mention how adorably sweet she can be when she is'nt "loosing her mind"!
LOL. I Love you both, and wish you and your mom the best, and your dad.
I will pray for all of you, includeng nick. Sincerely
Nick Seigmund
And brooke I think your drop dead gorgeuos, and if your mother is any indication as to how you are going to ;ook when you get to be her age your awsome now and like wine you are only going to become more beautiful with age.
You dont have to love the things your mom is saying, and doing,
But try to put yourself in her shoe's she's lashing out, out of great sorrow, she wishes she, and your dad never did this to each other.
And probably wishes she could wake up and all the caos that has happened over these last few years would just be one long nightmare
That she could wake up from.
And I'am sure your dad feels that way.
Hey joop, the difference is that this kid was a school friend of one of her children!!! If you're gonna shop young, you have to avoid those types of embaressing situations. For you AND YOUR CHILDREN. This is an EXTREMELY cruel thing to do to her kids. Dude is nuts anyway, she has to be gross. Im sure hulk destroyed that flower.
i wish i was him damn i would def do that all night and let her sit on my face forsure

WASHINGTON (AP) — The toll of gun violence and the widespread disgust it has generated makes it time for new federal gun curbs that balance public safety with gun rights, Democrats said Tuesday at the Senate's latest hearing on restricting firearms.
Republicans said today's unenforced gun laws give criminals no reason to fear ignoring them. And they warned that the Constitution's right to bear arms must be protected, even after unspeakable events like the December slaughter of 20 first-graders in Connecticut.
Each side trotted out their own legal experts, statistics and even relatives of people slain by gun-wielding assailants. In the end there was little partisan agreement, though Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said cooperation was possible on stopping straw purchases, in which someone legally buys a gun for a criminal or a person barred from owning one.
As always with guns, emotion and the issue's personal impact colored the day's session.
The crowded hearing room was filled with people from gun control groups and according to Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., included relatives of some killed in the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shootings. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee holding the hearing, asked friends and families of gun victims to stand, and dozens rose.
"We know that we have to act," Durbin said.
At another point, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., began his questioning of the panel's first witness, Timothy J. Heaphy, the U.S. attorney for the western district of Virginia and an appointee of President Barack Obama, with one question: "Do you own a gun?"
"No," responded Heaphy, who said, "I do not feel comfortable having a gun in our home" because he has children.
One witness, Suzanna Gratia Hupp, told the senators of being in a cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, in 1991 when a gunman smashed his truck through the front window and fatally shot 23 people, including her parents. Hupp says she left her gun in her car because Texas law barred her from bringing it into the restaurant.
"I don't view myself as a victim of gun violence," said Hupp, now a Texas state official and gun rights advocate. "I view myself as a victim of a maniac who happened to use a gun as a tool. And I view myself as the victim of the legislators we had at the time who left me defenseless."
Taking the opposing view was Sandra J. Wortham, whose brother, Chicago police officer Thomas E. Wortham IV, was fatally shot outside their parents' home by robbers in 2010, though he and his father, a retired police sergeant, fired back.
"The fact that they were armed that night didn't prevent Thomas' murder," said Wortham, now a Chicago police official.
The hearing came just hours before Obama was to deliver his annual State of the Union address, in which he was expected to repeat his call for gun curbs.
Obama has proposed banning assault weapons and ammunition magazines that can carry more than 10 rounds, and wants background checks for all firearms purchases. Currently, the checks are required only for sales by federally licensed gun dealers, omitting the many transactions at gun shows and between individuals.
