6.0.1 is now out. Anyone with any info please? I tried the terminal commands above, but they were unsuccessful. TIA.

Re: Safari 6 download in response to pipeman3017
Here's the Safari 6.0.1 download URL: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/49/18/041-6773/wzbv8ta766d0ab5u260pcio6 riqiqwbo5k/Safari6.0.1Lion.pkg
Here's the way you can find it in the future via Terminal:
curl $(strings /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SoftwareUpdate.framework/SoftwareUpdate | grep http://swscan) | grep Safari6
To break it down, first you use strings to get the human readable strings from SoftwareUpdate.framework, then you pipe it to grep to just get the URL to the catalog file:
strings /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SoftwareUpdate.framework/SoftwareUpdate | grep http://swscan
On a Lion system this yields:
http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.m erged-1.sucatalog
So you can take that command and wrap it in $() so it's result is used for curl (the Unix command line URL getter), which will download the catalog, then that file is piped through grep to find Safari6, which interestingly yields 2 pacakges, the install and also a repair package!?
<string>http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/49/18/041-6773/wzbv8ta766d0ab5u260pcio6 riqiqwbo5k/Safari6.0.1Lion.smd</string>

The .smd file has base64 encoded of chunks of html in various languages with the update description
The .pkm file is a package manifest, similar to the PackageInfo found inside a flat package, but with extra info about the frameworks and bundles to be downloaded
It seems the LionRepair package, will remove then restore a previous Safari version... which can also be accomplished with this hint: Restore previous Safari version from .SafariArchive.tar.gz - Mac OS X Hints
Anyway the short answer is in the first sentence of this post!Thanks for reading this far!
"Give a man a package he'll be good until the next update, teach a man to fish the .sucatalog file and he'll be good for ... well, for a while, until apple changes it's update scheme"

Re: Safari 6 download in response to Joel Bruner1
Hi Joel,
Thanks, you just solved my problem. I have a (Snow Leopard era) iMAC for which Apple recently offered to replace the HD. I took the offer and had previously upgraded to Lion. After I did the TimeMachine restore to the new HD, only Safari crashed upon launch. I transferred my Laptop's copy of Safari 6.01 into Applications and renamed it Safari2.app and it worked fine. I still had the original that didn't work so I tried replacing it with your link and now that works so it's good to know there are several ways to solve the problem, but I do like having the latest version.
Joe Pyrdek Nov 2, 2012 2:08 PM
Re: Safari 6 download in response to Joel Bruner1
I installed this and everything worked fine with Safari. Only problem I had is that when I use Apple Remote Desktop to run a software update check, it still comes back as Safari needing to be updated to 6.0.2. This is inspite of the fact that the Applications info on the System Report shows Safari to be at 6.0.2 and when you open Safari and check the "About" it also says 6.0.2
When I ran Software Update from the Apple, it still showed that updating to 6.0.2 was needed!
This still persisted even after a restart.
Only after I did the actual Software update (installing the SU Safari 6.0.2 over the actually already existing 6.0.2) then ARD indicated that all software was updated.
Me thinks that somebody left out one or two things from the .pkg to accuratly update the system info to reflect that the software was actually 6.0.2
Joel Bruner1 Nov 2, 2012 4:46 PM
Re: Safari 6 download in response to Joe Pyrdek
Hmmm, well the thing that stinks since Apple is no longer offering standalone downloads (what the reasoning is for that, is beyond me!) is the Software Update versions sometimes incorporate multiple packages, so for Safari 6.02 there are actually two packages
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/24/27/041-8084/dr1bfkb54jdws7xmot4l24qx jbjhxkzk8p/Safari6.0.2Lion.pkg
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/24/27/041-8084/dr1bfkb54jdws7xmot4l24qx jbjhxkzk8p/Safari6.0.2LionRepair.pkg
Looking inside the LionRepair package from 6.01 I found scripts for backing up the previous Safari and oddly restoring (although that is never presented as an option!
So perhaps by installing only the Safari6.0.2Lion.pkg but not the Sofari6.0.2LionRepair.pkg it is causing Software Update to keep bugging you to install Safari 6.0.2?
Also, for the Mountain Lion folks:
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/53/02/041-8081/jex01nudh37t8cusghkiy1ek i5crm76f4b/Safari6.0.2Mountain.pkg
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/53/02/041-8081/jex01nudh37t8cusghkiy1ek i5crm76f4b/Safari6.0.2MountainRepair.pkg
Bonus Rant:
Serously Apple, let's hope with the management shake-up someone there sees how unhelpful it is to not post a standalone Safari installer download! I mean how are you supposed to fixed a bad Safari install (or does that never happen at 1 Infinite Loop)? Run the OS installer again, have it install an old Safari version then run Software Update to update it?!? (And I'm not sure that would even work!)
Andrei P. Nov 4, 2012 6:43 AM
Re: Safari 6 download in response to LeonardoMaracino
So no simple way of reverting to Safari 6.0?
Bruce Burdick, Jr. Nov 6, 2012 3:47 PM
Re: Safari 6 download in response to Joel Bruner1
Thank you! That fixed it.
In decades of dealing with Apple I have never before been burnt by such a silly oversight. The Mountain Lion package should have detected that it was not running under Mountain Lion and prevented itself from installing -- like every other Apple package I've ever dealt with.
I certainly hope this is not the shape of things to come. I barely made it through the last time Apple's culture died. And this time there's no Jobs to return.

Re: Safari 6 download in response to Muks999
If you update to 10.8.3, wether via Software Update, or by downloading it from Apple Support Downloads' page, Safari will be updated to version 6.0.3.
I hope this helps.

Re: Safari 6 download in response to Mediaformae
no.i opend pkg of 10.8.3. combo and don't find instal pkg. only safari.app
and it don't work on empty comp:(
Joel Bruner1 Mar 17, 2013 8:42 AM
Re: Safari 6 download in response to Muks999
The previous posted download links for Safari 6.0.2 don't require a dev account or any sort of authentication to download for. They are public and anyone can download? Aha, I think what may have happened (and I've seen this happen for long links posted on these forums) looks like a space was inserted in the URL!
So copy and paste the URLs in TextEdit and search for spaces and remove them.
The links are derived by interogating the software catalog that 10.7 and 10.8 machines use for Software Update. Except I notice now that 10.8 uses https vs. 10.7 using http, so I will modify this command so it works on both:
curl $(strings /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SoftwareUpdate.framework/SoftwareUpdate | grep http | grep sucatalog) | grep Safari6 | grep pkg
So... run this in Terminal on a 10.7 machine and strings will find the URL Software Update: http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.m erged-1.sucatalog, then has curl download it and grep for the string "Safari6", then only those with "pkg" in them
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/49/44/041-8709/a8wz12kl2lfw6574aeff3gsd e8twub3z7x/Safari6.0.3LionRepair.pkg
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/49/44/041-8709/a8wz12kl2lfw6574aeff3gsd e8twub3z7x/Safari6.0.3Lion.pkg
On a 10.8 machine you'd run the same command, but it'd be looking at a different catalog: http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-mountainlion-lion-snowleop ard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
However as of this post only the Lion packages show up?! Safari 6.0.3 should be included in the 10.8.3 update, so a standalone update pacakge release may or may not happen, if someone is having trouble the usual recourse is to run the Combo Update.
Oh and as far as reverting goes, this can be done but only to the previous version so if you have 6.0.2 you can only go back to 6.0.1 (if it was backed up on previous install): Restore previous Safari version from .SafariArchive.tar.gz - Mac OS X Hints
My advice though, is to keep moving forward, Safari has had its fair share of bugs that have been fixed in each release, security be a notable area and these days defense on the Internet is important!

We provide strategic and meaningful solutions for those impacted by autism
Link Autism Leadership® was formed in 2009. Our mission is to provide autism leadership to individuals, professionals, and families living on the spectrum. We are autistic, so we understand the unique educational and social barriers facing autists, as well as the vast strengths that accompany neurodiversity.
For many, autism is a debilitating social and behavioral disability. Despite so many obstacles and difficulties, Dr. Sharon Link (diagnosed with Asperger Disorder) and her son, James T.G. Link (diagnosed with classic autism) have demonstrated tremendous resilience in the face of numerous struggles and difficulties. Dr. Link formed Link Autism Leadership on behalf of her son, James, before she even knew about her own neurodiversity. Link Autism Leadership allows Dr. Link and her son to work closely together to provide strengths-based services as a form of outreach and to formalize their work.
We partner with Brandman University and offer clock hours through the NewESD 101 for accredited training and courses. We customize our materials and workshops to meet your needs. In turn, you have the opportunity to consult with high-functioning, autistic professionals who provide the best types of support to meet your needs.

Blue Bell Knoll on MusicBrainz
Cocteau Twins on Last.fm
Cocteau Twins were an innovative and influential Scottish dream pop band. Forming in 1979 in Grangemouth, Scotland, UK (the name taken from an obscure song by fellow Scots Simple Minds), they built a sound based on woozy atmospherics and singer Elizabeth Fraser's unmatchable vocals, most of which featured lyrics of made-up words and words plucked at random from the dictionary. Their first release was "Garlands" in 1982 on 4AD Records, which was received well. Founding member Will Heggie left the group in 1983 and soon joined fellow Grangemouth band Lowlife.

i know it's hard to believe for you diehard SEC fans but no one cares about the SEC but the SEC.
all I heard last year before the BCS NC game from Bama fans was how the game between LSU/Bama was going to be the highest rated in college football history.
it was the 3rd lowest rated game in history.
the SEC games on CBS were down 18% last year.
i think the SEC should have it's own network. I live in L.A., the last thing I want to watch on ESPN is SEC schools compete. get your own network, that way the majority of Americans won't be subjected to watching you on the #1 sports network.
trust me when I say, we don't care for your kind on the West Coast and we're definitely aren't going to pay an increase on our cable bills to watch the SEC network.
but, but, but, but, but, I thought all of the SEC schools got along.
isn't this the drivel you spout to the rest of the country SEC fans?
a lot of schools are going to come away upset with whatever format you choose.
it's time for the rest of us to sit back and enjoy the redneck bickering.
She could have gone First Class but preferred to ride Coach.
A&M leaving reminds me of an old country song -- "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone."
You cannot imagine how happy I am to see our country bumpkin cousins leave. No more idiots waving swords, WWI boots, nut-grabbing cheers, ill engineered bonfires, Aggie Joke books.
I don't think they took it quite far enough however. Did you consider renaming the school to "A&M of the SEC"?
Remove every reference to "Texas."
Why don't you buy some land in Arkansas and move the campus. I'd contribute to that.
@ Ganger
you might want to get your facts right before you post next time.
3 schools with more players in the NFL are Texas, USC and Miami.
Texas led the way 51 players on NFL rosters in 2011.
notice none of these schools are in the SEC and none are Bama.
just saying.
@ d kong
all I heard from Bama fans before the Bama/LSU rematch was how the game was going to be the highest rated game in college football history. ( yes every Bama fan was saying that)
SEC games on CBS was down 18% last year. Don't believe me look it up.
The BCS NC game was the 3rd lowest rated game in history.
yes it was on cable but so was last years Auburn/Oregon game and that game had 5 million more viewers.
20 years from now the Bama/LSU game will the lowest rated game in cable history.
Just goes to show you that no one cares about the SEC but the SEC.
Why are we not surprised that Saban and Chizik opposed the 25 player limit cap rule.
I doubt they'll convict him.
From the video it doesn't look like they have any hard evidence.
what the article fails to mention is that 7 out of the 8 SEC games played the ratings were down.
goes to show you that no one cares about the SEC anymore.
SEC games on CBS were also down 18%.
It is beyond dumb. Unbelievable if this is true. I guess it shouldn't surprise me. Not that bright in those parts of the country.
Oh whatever. Kids are picking the college of their choice because Auburn won the NC last year???
I don't know if I should feel embarrassed for Auburn or relieved that these idiots are not applying to my school.
I'm having a hard time believe this to be true, but if it is, what a bunch of idiots.
I'd be willing to bet Alabama would bow down to us as well if you were in our conference. It's all about money in football.
Shut up, you barely won the game. Alabuma scored the last two tds in the last two minutes.
Naw just dishing it back. Plenty of Tide Fans on Texas sites. Totally over the NC game that you barely won in the last few minutes of the game.
Who's wining, just stating the facts ingnoramus.
I am willing to bet not even the Dallas Cowboys will take him. They could have 20 picks next year and I'm willing to bet your southern as_ , not even daddy's high paying job with the Cowboys will get him in the NFL.
You lost all credibility when you said Saban played conservatively, Next.
The only reason Alabama won that game is because McCoy went down, but injuries are part of the game. Now you will see how losing your star player feels like. I'm not worried about Texas. We're at the top of the food chain. Nothing is changing that.
Are you serious, Jones? What he has done? A good freshman year, nothing his sophmore year. Totally overrated his freshman year. McElroy? He won't even be drafted in the NFL next year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 7, 2014
(Sacramento) Today, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1306, authored by Sen. Mark Leno and co-sponsored by Attorney General Kamala D. Harris, Equality California and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. The bill will bring California statutory law into line with the U.S. Supreme Court's 2013 decision restoring the freedom to marry in California.
While both the California and U.S. Supreme Courts have affirmed the right for same-sex couples to marry, current state laws in many cases do not reflect that change. SB 1306 ensures that references to "husband" and "wife" will be replaced with gender-neutral language such as "spouse" to recognize all married couples throughout the California code.
"I am pleased Governor Brown has recognized the importance of this bill, which makes it explicitly clear in state law that every loving couple has the right to marry in California," said Sen. Leno. "This legislation removes outdated and biased language from state codes and recognizes all married spouses equally, regardless of their gender."
"While we have achieved many milestones in the journey towards full equality for LGBT people — including the freedom to marry for same-sex couples — it's important that we completely erase discrimination from the books," said Rick Zbur, executive director-elect of EQCA. "This new law will take us one step further in that journey. We applaud Senator Leno for authoring this important legislation and Gov. Brown for signing it."
"We are grateful for Sen. Leno's legislation that will ensure the fair and equal treatment of all married couples in California," said National Center for Lesbian Rights Executive Director Kate Kendell. "Although there is no question that same-sex couples can marry in California, the discriminatory language that remains on the statutory books creates confusion about the rights of same-sex couples. This law makes it clear to everyone that same-sex couples can marry and that all spouses have the exact same rights and responsibilities under the law, regardless of gender."
SB 1306 officially becomes law on January 1, 2015.
Equality California (EQCA) is the largest statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender advocacy organization in California. For more than a decade, Equality California has strategically moved California from a state with extremely limited legal protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people to a state with some of the most comprehensive human rights protections in the nation. Equality California has partnered with legislators to successfully sponsor 96 pieces of pro-equality legislation. EQCA continues to advance equality through legislative advocacy, electoral work, public education and community empowerment. www.eqca.org

The fact that the Paralegal Studies program at College of DuPage is approved by the American Bar Association helped Eckert make her decision. She began taking classes in the fall of 2011 and earned her Paralegal Studies Certificate in May 2013.
Her goal is to pursue the highest certification that she can achieve as a paralegal while working in the legal field. She spent nearly a year at a real estate firm in Naperville before relocating to Louisiana, where she will take the certified paralegal exam in December 2014.
Eckert praises the College of DuPage program for preparing her well.
"It can be daunting to face returning to work after being home for almost 20 years, but College of DuPage provided very practical training for me that will pay off," she said. "The Paralegal Studies program is top notch. Frankly, COD offered so much more than I thought."

Author and Human Rights Activist Angelica Harris Speaks at Green Mountain College
POULTNEY-- Angelica Harris comes to Green Mountain College, Thursday, March 21 at 6:30 p.m., to share her life's work as an author, an abuse survivor and as a human rights activist. She will also share her experiences in creating a school program for struggling New York City teens. Her presentation is in Bogue Hall, Room 017.
Harris uses her personal story to raise awareness of domestic violence and help others find healing. She pursued creative arts at Hunter College, where she majored in history and theatre, before leaving school to help financially support her family. She is the author of Living with Rage, a memoir about her personal struggles through various forms of abuse.
Harris works in the Second Chance Program, which helps youth offenders in Queens, N.Y. receive mentoring and educational services. She is also launching a new mentoring program at the Taconic Correctional Facility in Albion, N.Y. where she will offer inspiring talks and creative writing outlets to inmates, helping then overcome the obstacles in their lives that took them behind bars.
Harris is the author of three fantasy novels including The Quest for Excalibur. From these books was born the Excalibur Reading Program, a non-profit program that brings the importance of reading, writing, and the arts to all children. The Excalibur Reading Program is a new pilot program in designated public schools in the New York City area.
This presentation is free and open to the public. A book signing follows. For more information call 287-8299.

There was a time, not so long ago, when I thought I may be destined for a bright future in the kitchen. Not only were my flapjacks and cupcakes the stuff of legend (albeit in the school playground), my aspirations were backed up on paper by an A-grade in my food technology exam.
However, like many who show talent in their early years, I didn't capitalise on it in adulthood. Sadly, my culinary skills these days stretch little further than grilled chicken and veg, or a spaghetti bolognese made with a jar of pasta sauce. And after a decade or so of less than impressive culinary skills, I realise it's time to up my game.
With this in mind I enrol on a course at the Llanerch Vineyard Cookery School in the Vale of Glamorgan, just 11 miles west of Cardiff (the closest train station is Pontyclun). The sessions take place in a gorgeous renovated farmhouse with state-of-the-art kitchens, all surrounded by 22 acres of vineyards. They are run by food writer and ex-chef to the stars, Angela Gray.
Aside from having travelled the world as Andrew Lloyd-Webber's personal chef, Angela even had her own BBC television show – and her bubbly personality is rather infectious.
I am greeted at the door with a cup of tea and some homemade biscuits, before being introduced to the rest of my group – made up of some lovely local ladies. This is where I get slightly nervous: was I about to be humiliated by my lack of recent cooking experience – or could I return to the glory days of my legendary cupcakes?
I needn't have worried. Angela's courses cater for all levels, and I feel immediately at ease. Before we all get stuck in to the cooking, however, Angela takes us through our menu for the day.
The courses here run throughout the year, and Angela tailors each session to include seasonal ingredients. On our menu today is a seafood dish of poached salmon, creamy scallops and tiger prawn tails, with a fresh hollandaise sauce topped with a tagliatelli of cucumber. This is to be followed by a raspberry dacquoise. It's rather a large leap from my usual George Foreman grilled chicken.
Curiously, we start the menu back to front, making the dessert first as this is the most time-consuming course. A dacquoise (not to be confused with the daiquiri, a popular cocktail) is a French dessert made of meringue and whipped cream - if you get the meringue right you'll end up with a crispy, yet gooey concoction that's pure bliss. Getting the texture just right is all in the whisking, as Angela shows me, her patience and easy explanations making me wonder why I hadn't attempted this years ago.
With our dacquoise safely in the oven, it's time to move on to the main. Angela begins by showing us some "knife skills". As I merrily chop away at the vegetables that are to accompany our poached seafood – all under Angela's watchful eye – it dawns on me that good cookery really isn't rocket science.
With Angela's help, I'm soon whipping up a rather tasty hollandaise sauce.
Now that our dishes are bubbling away, it is time to source that final, vital, ingredient for our meal: wine. As the cookery school is located in the grounds of a vineyard, this entails just a short stroll, giving us an opportunity to soak up some of the gorgeous Welsh scenery.
The owner of Llanerch Vineyard, Ryan, introduces us to a selection of the lip-smacking wines available here, giving us all some tips on the correct way to taste. However, as much as I enjoy all that swirling and sucking, I've got to be honest: the best bit is the actual drinking. Armed with a bottle (or three) of the dry white, we return to the kitchen to sample our handiwork.
Eating a meal you've prepared yourself – involving some creativity and effort – is a mightily satisfying experience.

Angela Gray runs a variety of cookery courses for all abilities at Llanerch Vineyard, ranging from a 2½ hour taster course for £50 ($80), to day-long masterclasses for £140 ($223) per person, including lunch.

Tornado Warnings May Have Had Desired Effect
By editor
Over 100 tornadoes touched down Saturday in the Great Plains, causing millions of dollars in damage across Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. Despite the wreckage, there were few fatalities, a result perhaps due in part to the National Weather Service's warnings. Russell Schneider of the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., offers his insight.

As Mirabel watched him, she could not bear the thoughts creeping up on her. JJ was in the Chinese army and his mission in Australia would one day be over. Then she would be just like the others, a girl left behind in the wake of war. 'I'm afraid,' she whispered. 'When the war ends . . . what's going to happen to us?'
He put his arm around her and stroked her face. She knew he could not answer that question. But she wanted him to lie, to say that he would take her with him, that they would be together always.
Melbourne, 1943, and Mirabel is seventeen. She's leaving school, designing dresses, falling in love. Then fate intervenes, her forbidden affair is discovered, and JJ is posted back to China where a civil war is raging. Despite all warnings, Mirabel sets off for Shanghai to find him . . .
Little Paradise is inspired by a true story.

W.Va. Senate passes jobless fund loan option
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Amid fears West Virginia could run out of money next month for jobless benefits, the state Senate unanimously approved a measure Wednesday that would allow the program to borrow from the state's emergency reserves.
The bill passed to the House would provide the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund an alternative to raising taxes on employers, or having to take out federal loans as 34 other states have done during the economic downturn.
Proposed by acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, the measure would allow West Virginia's program to borrow from the state's rainy-day fund whenever its balance dips below $20 million. The program would have 180 days to repay the loan, which could be up to that amount.
"We'll only borrow what we have to have," said Russell Fry, acting executive director of WorkForce West Virginia.
Fry's agency oversees the program, which provided benefits to nearly 24,000 job seekers at the end of last month. He said its fund began this week with a $65.2 million balance. Agency officials forecast that it could run dry briefly in March before scheduled revenues arrive to restore it to the black.
"This is a reason why the Legislature has moved on this very quickly, and we're very happy that they've done such," Fry said.
When the recession began in December 2007, West Virginia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate stood at just 4 percent and its benefits fund contained $244.7 million. Though the state continues to see signs of recovery, it ended 2010 with a 9.6 percent unemployment rate. Only a dozen states had higher rates.
Thirty states, including all of West Virginia's neighbors except Maryland, still owe $42.6 billion from federal loans to their unemployment funds as of Monday. Maryland borrowed federal money for its program last year, but has since paid it back.
West Virginia hopes to avoid a repeat of the 1980s, when its fund became insolvent. Forced to borrow federal funds, the state issued bonds that it then paid off by levying a special surcharge on employers and workers.
The fund gets its revenues from a tax, of 2.7 percent for most businesses, that employers pay on the first $12,000 of each worker's wages. Lawmakers increased that base rate from $8,000 in 2009 in an effort to keep the fund solvent, and are loathe to revisit that option. The base wage rate will drop to $9,000 once the trust fund balance stays above $220 million. It will then remain linked to changes in wage levels.

Martin Luther King's Legacy and Israel's Future: Stepping Beyond Fear
Ira Chernus: On this Martin Luther King Day, then, American Jews face a choice.

Or they can remember the words in which he summed up a lifetime of nonviolence, on the last night of his life — "I'm not fearing any man!" — and call on their own government to demand at least a start toward ending the conflict: a genuine halt to all settlement expansion.

International expansion of business into the US
by oildrilling, Window Shopper
- Created: October 15, 2011, 12:11 pm
- Updated: August 9, 2013, 1:03 pm
SBA,I'm a graduate of a US university and hold a Petroleum Engineering degree which is like another feather in my cap. My family business is based in India and is involved in the O&G Industry all over the world as we manufacture and export certain oil well drilling chemical products. We do have a good list of US clients that have been doing business with us for quite a long time now and we continue catering our services to them.Of course, I would like to open a branch office in the US and more precisely in Houston, Texas. There are a lot of local companies that are involved in the same business as we are but this situation exists in every field of interest.From a manufacturers point of view, not a lot of the US companies manufacture the chemicals in the US unlike what we do in India and that itself gives us a small bit of an advantage over the local markets. We have our own facilities in India to meet up with the requirements, expectations and manufacturing of various drilling chemical products.The downside is transporting these chemicals internationally which hinders with the delivery schedule, shipping continuous quantities, discrepancies in local authorities at shipping ports and NO stocking facility in the US as a backup plan to serve our customers when it comes to shortage of products. We are also talking about IMPORTING such products into the US when and if we have an official branch office in the US.To cater our US clients efficiently, we want to have a warehouse facility along with a blending plant to mix various powdered and non-hazardous chemicals together as per the requirements of the local US companies. Nevertheless, while opening a branch office in the US as a Non-US resident/alien, will the process be the same as a startup company or are there different procedures to be followed to open a branch office in Texas?Also, to run the branch office in the US, I will be appointed as the main person to handle the company for the first couple of years and I believe to do so, the US will grant me a work visa? Since we are talking about opening a branch office in Texas, how does "create jobs for americans" work? How many people would have to be hired to comply with the stipulations put in front of us by the government? Since its Texas, we know that companies have to pay minimum taxes and whether this is liable to foreign companies as well? Is our vision suitable for developing a good business plan? With this in mind, how much investment would be involved in setting up and running a branch office in Texas?Please take some time out and try to guide me as to what specific procedures, laws and regulations must be incorporated while executing such a plan because everything that I have read on the internet is different from what I have just posted.

Hi, Foreign business entities are incorporated at the state level in the U.S. The process will vary from state-to-state, but generally involves two steps: applying to register in that particular state and establishing a registered agent with a valid address in that state (no PO Box numbers). A registered agent can be either the business owner or another person who is authorized to receive legal papers on behalf of the business, such as an attorney or secretary. Take a look at our Starting a Business in the U.S. as a Foreign National blog article for more details.

It's Spring!
How have you all been?
As for me, I am spending lots of time with Princess and Hubby, our Turkish and Italian friends and their wonderful princes. Friends, and I mean good and well-meaning friends, are so important at tough times like what I am going through right now. And I am really so grateful to have good friends around me, also not forgetting readers and blogger-friends who have left comments for me, and the emails you have sent to me.
Thank you so much!
Well, as for this blog, yes, I do have lots to write...... I will try to start blogging again as soon as I can. Somehow, there's just not much mood to write, well, not only writing, but I just don't have the mood to do lots of things. But friends and people around me are always trying to cheer me up :), so hopefully things will get better soon. :D
Here's a little sign of Spring............. Daffodils are sprouting everywhere where I am now. :D

Staying positive!

how are you? It is good to hear from you. :)

Hi YS,
Thank you, dear. Getting a little better, it's been many days without tears....but somehow, the pain and tears came back again last night. At least now, I could speak about it without breaking down compared to earlier, when each time someone asked me about it, or offered their condolences, i would just burst into tears, even in public. Embarrassing, I know.
Btw, have you gotten your NARS Nouveau Monde? How are you liking it?
- March 25, 2011 at 4:38 PM
You don't need to be embarrassed at all. I went thru the same myself with my late grandma's.Infact come this July it'll be 3 years and I still feel the hurt and pain,but it's getting better with each passing year,so I feel ya. Do email if you need to chat in private :)
On to make-up, I was a last minute trip to Hong Kong abt 3 weeks ago, saw and tested NARS inperson and bought a few singles and duos, including Nouveau Monde (it was like sold out in every outlet in HK), am loving it and all of them. Depotted them into Unii Palettes, with 1 casualty, Fez, arghh...just need to get another I guess.
Stop by Burberry KLCC today,nothing fm the Spring/Summer Collection that really stood out plus Isetan Voucher just ended last Sunday, so did not get anything, better, money saved. :)

Hi YS, sure, will email you. Thank you. My paternal grandma's demise last year didn't affect me as much as my dad's, but then, we are very close to my dad, esp my girl. Basically, it just happened too suddenly and definitely too soon.
So, Nouveau Monde is a fav in HK.... Hmmm, I haven't the chance to go to Space NK since the last time yet. What are the other NARS singles and duos you got?

Just what I needed in a winter glove
I'm a fan of Gore products and this glove has not let me down. I wanted a glove that was not to big and bulky, yet keeps my hands warm and still allow fluid finger movement - this glove has been that and more. I've used the glove down to 32* with winds from 10-20 mph and riding near the river and they've kept my hands warm and dry. I have not experience any numbness either. Happy customer. I would recommend these gloves.
What I like:
1. not big and bulky
2. allows fluid finger movement
3. extended material that allows the glove to fit under a long sleeve jersey or jacket to keep air out
4. plays nicely with the gel tape on my handle bar
5. positive grip
What I don't like: No dislikes

By Guest Writer on 18th June 2013, in Dinner, Entertaining, Food & recipes
This recipe is great for a crowd, as it can be prepared ahead of time.
- 1 whole chicken, butterflied
- Paste:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp minced lemongrass
- 2 chillies, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp tamarind concentrate
- 2 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- Lettuce leaves, to serve
1. To butterfly chicken, lay it ona chopping board, breast-side down. Using kitchen scissors, cut down both sides of the backbone to remove it. Turn it over so that the skin side is facing up and use the heel of your hand to firmly push down to flatten it. Trim any excess fat.
2. Make a paste by putting the garlic, lemongrass, chillies, sugar and salt in a mortar and pestle, or food processor, and grind to a paste. Add the tamarind, lime or lemon juice, fish sauce and sesame oil.
3. Using a sharp knife, make deep slashes in the flesh of the drums and breast meat, to assist with the cooking and flavour penetration. Then use a spatula or your hands (be careful though because chilli can sting) to smother the chicken with the paste, working it into the cuts. Put the chicken in a well-greased roasting dish. At this stage you can either cook immediately or leave to marinate overnight – I never have time, so it's usually about 15 minutes maximum in my kitchen!
4. Preheat oven grill to hot. Splash a lick of oil over the chicken and place under a hot grill until the chicken begins to blacken in some places, about 10 minutes. Cover with foil and bake at 220°C for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Chop the chicken roughly and wrap in lettuce leaves. Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.

I'll keep this thing updated with any good ideas that come my way.
To start things off:
Fast, Automatic Text
Create useful Replacements for repetitive typing. Good examples would be:
Your email signatures - perhaps you have a different way of signing your messages depending whom you are addressing.
Mnemonic: rj
Purpose: Very quick and smooth way to sign your emails
Mnemonic: m@e
Replacement: firstname.lastname@example.com
Purpose: speed up and improve the accuracy of typing your email address
Spelling Corrections
This example uses RegEx
Mnemonic: crit[e|i][c|s][e|i][s|z]e
Replacement: criticize
Purpose: Corrects all of the most common misspellings -> criticize
Mnemonic: htm*
Replacement: <html></html>
Cursor position: 6
Purpose: fast creation of HTML/XML tags
Create simple Replacements to enter those irritating special characters and symbols
For instance:
* create a Replacement called 'gbp' to enter the ÂŁ symbol
* create a Replacement called 'cpy' to enter the © symbol
* create a Replacement called 'reg' to enter the ® symbol
* create a Replacement called 'qrt' to enter the ÂĽ symbol
The possibilities are endless!
Nest replacements if they share the same text
For example, if several of your replacements all reference the same webpage, make a simple replacement for just the webpage itself, and then reference it in your other replacements. That way, if the webpage address ever changes, you only need to make one correction and all the references will work.
Block words that you do not want to keep seeing as suggested auto-completions
You may frequently type words that Auspex will track, but that you do not want to see popping up all the time. Set their status to Blocked and they will never show up again. For example, passwords

Having attained a CDL Instruction Permit, Passed the Medical Examination, Passed the Knowledge Tests and Passed the General Skills Tests, the applicant can be issued with Commercial Driver's License.
The CDL is available to any driver over the age of eighteen (18), but to work on interstate jobs the driver must be over twenty-one (21). Due to insurance guidelines many companies have a minimum age of twenty-three (23) for interstate transport jobs.
With regard to interstate work, it is worth noting that by federal law, no Commercial Driver can hold a license in more than one state. Furthermore that license must be held in the state in which they reside.
For this reason, before being issued with a CDL, the applicant must produce either two documents from this list.
In the event that only one item from the list above is available, an item from the list below may suffice.
Once issued the CDL is valid for five years in California and can be renewed at California DMV offices at a cost of $39. For the same cost a CDL can be renewed online or by mail, but in the event that a vision test or law test is requested, contact should be made with a California DMV Office.
Cost of California CDL: $66.00

Internship-Washington Semester Program
"Life in DC for the past few months has been wonderfully crazy. I am attending American University through their Washington Semester Program while also living and working on the Hill. All of these endeavors have kept me very busy as well as provided me with some incredible experiences. I am an intern for Senator Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on his Judiciary Committee staff. At work, I prepare for and staff Judiciary Committee hearings and business meetings as well as assist the chairman, Committee members, Committee staff, and witnesses in a variety of ways, including researching, writing letters, delivering legislation and mail, and conducting various administrative tasks, among other things. This opportunity has allowed me to meet many senators and administration officials as well as learn a great deal about how the legislative process veritably works. Learning how Washington works from a behind-the-scenes perspective has been incredibly valuable and endowed me with a great respect for everyone who helps contribute to the successful functioning of the government. I feel very lucky to be able to contribute in some small way through my work with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Outside of work, I have some amazing experiences as well. Last week I met Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with my class and even asked her a question! Our class is very field-based and has taken us all over D.C., from the Pentagon to the Speaker's Office to renowned think tanks and much more. We have had probably over 40 guest lecturers from all aspects of the American governmental/political scene and I have learned so much from each one of them.
In addition my work with the senate and class, I have kept myself very busy through working on my honors thesis, doing volunteer work, and of course trying to visit as many places as possible in D.C. Overall, my experience in D.C. has been amazing and full of surprises. I have met people and garnered insights that will impact me for the rest of my life. I am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my semester here as well as to coming back to BW in the spring and sharing my experiences."

Das followed with the first point for the Crusaders, winning in the No. 4 spot, 6-1, 6-3. Regan then picked up the second point at No. 5 singles, 6-4, 6-0 to earn his fifth singles win of the season.
The Crusaders would fall in the No. 2 and No. 3 spots before freshman Scot Brownell (Plymouth, Mass.) battled for a win at No. 6, but eventually fell in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, 6-0. With the doubles point and four singles wins, Nichols outlasted Holy Cross by the final score of 5-2.

Kunradus Aliandu & Imam Mudzakir
Construction of a Rp 10 trillion ($1.06 billion), 1,000 kilometer-long Trans-Sumatra toll road will begin by the end of the year, West Sumatra Governor Irwan Prayitno said on Thursday.
"The project is ready to start its first phase from the Padang bypass road to Padang Pariaman," Irwan said.
Speaking at a seminar on national investment in Padang, Irwan said that project will break ground shortly and is expected to be completed by 2015. The toll road is expected to open up access to Sumatra, driving local development along the new road, Irwan said.
"We have already approached the Regional Development Bank
so that they can provide Rp 100 billion in funds for the purchase of land for the development of several
industrial centers," Irwan said.
State-owned toll operator Jasa Marga has begun talks with several provinces in Sumatra, president director Adityawarman said. But no decisions have been made on which segments of the two-lane toll road will be built or when the construction will be complete.
are deploying a team to conduct a comprehensive study on the
projects to be built. The results of the study will also become an initial proposal to the government," Adityawarman said.
Routes are still being studied, but will likely include a 27 kilometer Padang to Sicincin segment, a 25 kilometer Medan to Kuala Namu segment and a 35 kilometer Kuala Namu to Tebing Tinggi segment, Public Works Minister Djoko Kirmanto
It is still unknown who will construct the Trans-Sumatra toll road. The highway will cost an estimated Rp 50 billion-per-kilometer to build, Djoko said.
Local governments will likely be responsible for purchasing the land
needed to construct the toll road, Djoko said. Jasa Marga and the central government should be responsible for the road's construction.
But Ahmad Ghani Ghazali, of the Public Works Ministry's toll road regulators, said that local governments and state-owned companies should build the toll road, explaining that the project was unlikely to attract the attention of private investors.
"While it is true that there are investors who have
expressed interest, it does not necessarily mean that they will take
the project when the real costs are revealed," Ghani said.
The project's financial feasibility — a metric that weighs costs and profits — is too low, at 10 percent instead of the 17 percent needed to attract private investors, Ghani said.
The Public Works Ministry is pushing for the construction of a 2,700 kilometer Trans-Sumatra highway from Banda Aceh in the north to Bandar Lampung in the south. That highway would likely cost Rp 99.88 trillion to build.

Confusion Over Funding of Yar'Adua's $5bn Emergency in Power Sector
By A. G. Umar Kari, Economic Confidential
An ominous whirlwind of controversy and tussle, over who funds what and how, has been steadily gathering and may torpedo plans of a smooth take- off and successful execution of the much -touted and soon – to- be- declared state of emergency in Nigeria's power sector.
The power sector in Nigeria has over the years remained in a comatose state despite multi- billion dollar investment, a notorious feat that has earned the sector a dubious distinction as the open sore of the country's economy.
President Umar Musa Yar'Adua has repeatedly pledged to introduce a comprehensive package of emergency remedial measures towards turning the key sector around. But just when it appears that Yar'Adua has managed to mobilize a national effort toward tackling the seemingly intractable power problem, a fast- brewing multi- dimensional crisis is threatening the president's pet project, especially on the recourse to use funds from the Excess Crude Account.
It would be recalled that while the Federal Ministry of Finance was reluctant in the initial stage to temper with the Excess Crude Account for the project to avoid any scandal that may emanate from such an action considering the ongoing bashing of previous administration on the same, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission initiated a memo on workable of using parts of the share of the Federal Government to fund it. In the euphoria of the advice, President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua on June 13, 2008, in far away France announced the decision of the government in conjunction with the states to inject $5 billion for the rehabilitation and expansion of Nigeria's power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure.
On the same day after the monthly meeting of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), the Finance Minister of State who is also Chairman of the committee said that "we are going to take $5billion from excess crude account. It has been approved by the FAAC that it should be put into power projects based on the inputs that will come from Mr. President and if that is done, the three tiers of governments will own a substantial part of the power infrastructure according to their share of the revenue formula. There will be no repayment. But once those assets are privatized, the proceeds will be shared according to their revenue formula."
Governors of Nigeria's 36 states had also on Thursday June 19, 2008 endorsed Yar'Adua's proposal to fund the power sector emergency from the excess crude account. Subsequently, the National Economic Council which is chaired by the Vice President Goodluck Jonathan okayed the immediate release of $5.37 billion from the account for the project.
After a directive from the Presidency for the setting up of a stakeholders' Committee to work out a plan on the funding of the power emergency project, Babalola was reported to have set up the committee which excluded the RMAFC. This decision angered the RMAFC, which insisted that it is the only body constitutional empowered on the disbursement of funds from the Federation Account.
The Economic Confidential exclusively gathered that RMAFC Chairman, Engr. Hamman Tukur, is insisting that Yar'Adua has no power to touch a kobo from the excess crude account, which is jointly owned by the three tiers of government – at least without involving the commission.
The Commission after its plenary session also hinges its objection on the argument that none of the bodies which gave authorization for the withdrawal of the funds from the federation account for the purpose of funding the power emergency have such constitutional responsibility to do so. It argues further that only the commission is the sole body vested with constitutional responsibility on revenue accruals to and disbursements from the Federation Account.
Some competent sources in the government wonder the reason for keeping the RMAFC at arm's-length over the power emergency issue. The decision not to involve the Commission is easily the genesis of the furor.
At the Plenary Session of the RMAFC, convened at the instance of Tukur on July 3, 2008, the commission asked Yar'Adua and the 36 governors to seek the approval of the National Assembly and the states assemblies before the emergency power intervention is released. In the alternative the federal government could solely fund the project from its share in the Excess Crude Account which could be accommodated but subject to the approval of the federal legislators.
To compound matters, some federal legislators are kicking against the release of the $5.37bn without their approval. They are questioning the legality of the withdrawals from the Excess Crude Account on the ground that the Account itself is illegal and its existence violate Section 162 (3) (10) of the 1999 Constitution, which recognizes only the Federation Account. Indeed there is a Supreme Court pronouncement on that in the case between the AG and Abia State in 2002.
A groundswell of opinion amongst the federal legislators, based on investigation by the Economic Confidential is that if the National Economic Council's decision is allowed to succeed, it would confer legality on an act of illegality. Members appear ready to tell Yar'Adua that they recognize only the Federation Account.
A leading technocrat, who craved anonymity, feared that a fifth columnist may be lurking around deliberately misleading the President into committing impeachable offences; for releasing $5.3bn from the Excess Crude Account without the approval of the legislative arm is a grave constitutional violation.
There are also the local councils whose consent is never sought in matters of the Federation Account including the power sector emergency. Indeed, there is no indication that local councils were ever consulted on the proposal for the withdrawal from the excess crude fund, notwithstanding that the councils are joint owners of the account.
The plight of the local councils is indeed pathetic. They never seem to have a say in matters that concern the Federation Account. They are simply swallowed up by the states with whom they share the State Local Government Joint Account for the purpose of collecting disbursement from the national purse. Over the years, the local councils have become mere appendages of the states, with governors arrogating to themselves powers to decide for the local councils. This has been possible apparently because in most cases the heads of such councils are handpicked by the governors. But that does little to vitiate the fact that the local councils are almost always short-changed. The legality of dipping into the excess crude account without the express consent of the local councils may also be tested in court, the Economic Confidential exclusively gathered.
Another controversial area is the extent of the participation of the three tiers in the power sector intervention as well as what each stands to gain. According to Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State the fund injected into power sector emergency would be treated as equity, and that states would take 45% of the total equity. The question that readily comes to mind is what is the equity share for both the federal and the local councils?
This is coming against the insistence of some including key stake-holders, that the Federal Government has played a fast one on the other beneficiaries of the excess crude account, the way it effortlessly got them involved in funding the emergency of power project.
A top economist confided to the Economic Confidential that by virtue of the country's constitution, the Federal Government is solely responsible for power. It therefore amounts to abdication of responsibility for the Federal Government to coerce the other tiers of government to partake of the power emergency project.
Controversy equally trails the composition of the 21-man committee constituted by the National Economic Council to implement the emergency measures. The committee, to be chaired by the Vice President, comprises nine governors, five ministers, one representative each from organized labour, the media, oil sector, and two from the banking sector. Again, the local councils were excluded. Not a few Nigerians expressed disappointment and dismay over the inclusion of Liyel Imoke, Olusegun Agagu and Danjuma Goje, governors of Cross Rivers, Ondo and Gombe in the committee. All three were Ministers of power in the immediate past administration during which an estimated $16 billion was squandered in the power sector. Indeed, a recent House of Representatives probe into the sector witnessed damning revelations against some of the ex-ministers.
There is also the likely implication of the impending release of about $10 billion into the economy. However, Charles Soludo, the Central Bank governor dispelled the fears of inflationary impact "since the expenditure has already been factored into the nation's monetary policy for the fiscal year"
As Nigerians await the proclamation of the power emergency, they hope that government and other stake-holders will address all the controversial and grey areas, so that there will be light at the end of the emergency tunnel.

thanks for this informative piece. brings a lot of enlightenment.
abeg, let them sort the matter out and iron out all the rough edges since this is like a first for this kind of thing.
its true that power in nigeria needs emergency treatment, but let there be no building of illegality upon illegality.
laws are meant for a reason....although that our constitution is something else.
... na wayo wayo gofment we dey O! ye kparikpa O!............
I think there is nothing wrong to circumvent the law if that is the only option and alternative to address emergency problems. UMYA calls his project Emergency in Power Sector, he can therefore apply emergency approach if that can immediately solve the problem
