Everyone tells me horror stories about childbirth. Should I ask them to stop?
Since the day I found out I was pregnant, women have been telling me horror stories about childbirth. I've heard things that would make your toes curl. I try to ignore them, but some accounts scare me to the point of tears. This is my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect from the delivery. Why do people feel the need to share their most awful birth experiences instead of the joyous ones?

YES YOU SHOULD! This is whacked "Unfriendly", abusive behavior for women to try to scare other women. I always say "STOP RIGHT NOW"... "BECAUSE YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE DOESN'T MEAN I WILL". ... "I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR FEARFUL THINGS"... my pregnancy has been GREAT! Due next week...been a breeze... and I'm 42! LIFE and PREGNANCY is what you make it, and how you take it.. MAKE IT MISERABLE, OR NOT... much is up to you. Male "Buddies" don't do this crap with each other.. women are weird.posted 12/22/2010 by heidifiddles
every birth is differant so dont worry as much as the chances are yours will be nothing like theres. some women feel the need to tell the stories as there proud of what they have been through its an amazing, emotional and im sorry to say painfull but all that goes away as soon as u hold ure new born and all u feel is love so as long as ure prepared for any circumstances ull b fine, gud luck x x xposted 12/21/2010 by wnt2bamummyagain
People have horror stories because they do not prepare for birth. There is tons of info out there and classes, you have to know yourself and learn what childbirth is like from professionals. What I've heard is that if you never had mad menses that you may be uncomfortable, but EVERY BODY is different. Don't be scared, be prepared!GOOD LUCK!posted 11/20/2010 by campbelletara
I have a lady at work who does the same exact thing. All she does is tell me that it was the worst experience in her life! And she even tells me not to get an epidural! I'm glad Im not one that listens to everybody. Every woman is different so you can't expect anything until you have already done it! So just ignore all those negative women who have nothing good to say because most likely...some of them may be just saying those things because they are jealous they aren't getting all the attention. This is true in my case :)posted 11/20/2010 by courtdh2001
Really honestly people just like to scare other people. I had so many people telling me labor was like death that I freaked out and ask my doctor for a c-cestion. Lucky for me he was sencible and told me we were going to try natural first. I had 6 hours of labor, I had to be induced after 10 weeks on bed rest. it was not terrible at all. I will admit that it hurt. I had an epidurel but it only took on one side, that felt pretty weird like only half of my body was in labor. But it was not like death. My fiance, now my husband, helped count while I breathed and while I pushed. Nothing can prepare you for seeing your baby the first time. It was so emotional. I'm 27 weeks and I am so excited to have this baby I really wish it would hurry up. For me labor was the easiest part! The waiting is what kills me. Even if you do have to have a c-section, you will be the happiest person in the world when they give you that baby. It's not terrible, although I won't say it is pain free. IT's worth it!posted 09/07/2010 by victoriandutchess2
I just say, "it hurts and you are not a hero" Your body goes through so many transitions when in labor! Your choice to use an epidural or not. I was in pain, I used the epidural and it relaxed me to the point that I dilated quickly and was able to push with pressure and no pain.posted 09/03/2010 by mom22soon
It actually bothered me more when my mother-in-law said, "My birth was easy. It doesn't hurt that much and both my babies practically fell out! It isn't anywhere near as bad as people say it is. I was in labor for two hours and had ten minutes of pushing." I had a difficult labor (NOT GOING TO DETAIL IT) and it just makes you think people assume you're being a wuss or that you're lesser because you didn't push the child out as fast--as if its an option for some of us! Hahaha...posted 09/03/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
i like to hear from other women how was their experience but some times i just dont want to hear nothing because every one is different.. if i was the person given an advice i will just let her know to relax and enjoy every second of it, try to not think about how is going to be and be positive that everything will be fine. i dont want to scare anyone just because i had a bad experiece or anything.. thats my opinion.posted 08/24/2010 by miramq2
People like to talk about themselves, & get pity/sympathy or KUDOS & congratulations for their accomplishments, like getting through a tough pregnancy, etc. People like to be negative too. I get stuff from my mother-in-law, like what if you trip & fall with the baby... Or you're gonna want an epidural, 'cause you can't handle the pain... Junk like that. Stand up for yourself, & don't listen to the negative people, they're being selfish. Read all the positive responses here, & know that you're not alone! I'm 36 weeks with my first baby, & I go back and forth on whether I want to do this again or not. We'll see.posted 08/24/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
A LOT OF PEOPLE TOLD ME HORROR STORIES, BUT THEN I ACTUALLY WITNESSED A LABOR. MY BEST FRIENDS MOM COULD BE THERE AND SHE ASKED ME TO BE IN THE ROOM WITH HER (I WAS 35 WEEKS AT THE TIME) OF COURSE I STAYED AND AFTER SEEING EVERYTHING I AM MUCH MORE CONFIDENT IN THE WHOLE THING. IT LOOKED LIKE MY FRIEND WAS IN PAIN BUT SHE DID IT NATURAL AND SHE MADE IT THROUGH AND ONCE IT WAS OVER I WAS REALLY SURPRISED BY HOW FINE SHE WASposted 08/24/2010 by katreased

I gotta give it to Maliwan. I can't think of a single point in any of my playthroughs, except at the very beginning, where I wasn't packing at least one Maliwan gun. The elemental damage is awesome plus I just like the handling of Maliwan guns, especially their sniper rifles.

Medusa - Snake Wig 2 by markopolio-stockWatch

The Mad Madam Was interested in seeing A Medusa set of snakes.
The PNG transparency is in the download.

Wow.. where'd you get that prop from? I just saw it and I love it!
I made it up from a bunch of copies of the DAZ Studio snake model. Thanks!
dang.. I need to get daz now
I'm on poser
I'm on poser
The model works in either. I remember, it came with two skins, and I think it's bunches better than the poser snake.
the mad madam....are you talking about me?
these look great!
these look great!
AND the mad hatter!
Shiny! Medusa image coming up soon, methinks...lol!
I rendered them in Poser this time. The difference is striking! They look almost real! In DAZ Studio renders, they've looked kind of flat and lifeless!
Yeah, poser is a HUGE upgrade from Daz. But then, looking at the price tags, it's hardly suprising! lol! The rendering machine is much stronger with Poser.
I may have found a way around that. I need to do a bit more investigation. From what I understand, you might be able to use a different renderer from inside of DAZ. It's just a plug-in, anyway. Now that I've seen the difference, it's worth a look.
Ah, great...after having ditched Daz...lol! Oh well, at least I can rely on you should I need anything! lol!
So far I haven't found the plug-in. But I did find that some render engines do only that, with the scene files.
Shiny! Hope you find it soon....
Oy! When you originally said shiny, I thought you were referring to how shiny the snakes were... I just realized that you might have been using another word for great, or something.
In DAZ, it seems to hinge on the 3Delight render engine. I might sneak in the back door, and use the same names on another renderer.

Prey 2

Prey 2 is a cancelled[2][3] first-person shooter video game published by Bethesda Softworks. It would have been the sequel to the 2006 video game Prey.[4]
The story of Prey 2 was to focus on U.S. Marshal Killian Samuels, who starts the game on a passenger flight which suddenly crashes onto the Sphere (the crash is shown in the original Prey). At the end of a short battle with some aliens he is knocked unconscious, after which the plot jumps forward several years. Samuels is now a bounty hunter on the alien world Exodus. Though he is aware of his profession and has retained his skills, he has no memory of what happened in the time that passed since his abduction.[5] He initially believes himself to be the only human on Exodus until he runs into Domasi "Tommy" Tawodi (the protagonist of the original Prey), whom he has apparently met in the period he no longer remembers.[6] Killian then resumes his bounty hunter activities while recovering his memory.
The sequel to 2006 game Prey was officially announced on March 14, 2011 as being developed by Human Head Studios using heavily modified Id Tech 4 engine.[7] "We are thrilled to be working with Bethesda on Prey 2", said Chris Rhinehart, project lead. "Prey 2 will provide gamers the opportunity to explore a new facet of the Prey universe, one that offers fast-paced action in an open, alien world. We're excited to show gamers the title we have been working on and hope they will be as excited by this title as we are."[8]
Prey 2 was announced once before; shortly after the release of Prey, 3D Realms' Scott Miller confirmed that a sequel named Prey 2 was already in development.[9] On March 17, 2008, Miller's brand-management group Radar Group was officially launched, along with the announcement that it is managing Prey 2, and that it slated for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The rights were later transferred from Radar to Bethesda Softworks.[10] According to Pete Hines, the vice president of PR and marketing at Bethesda, the current version of the game is what the developers wanted to make and not what has been announced before by the Radar Group.[11]
On March 23, 2012, Dutch gaming website PS Focus reported a rumour that Prey 2 has been cancelled by ZeniMax Media. When asked, Bethesda Softworks reported with no comment regarding the rumour on their Twitter page.[12][13][14][15][16] On April 19, 2012, Bethesda stated Prey 2 will not be cancelled, but instead it will not make its scheduled 2012 release. This was because "the game's development has not progressed satisfactorily this past year and the game does not currently meet [their] quality standards.".[17] On August 20, 2012 the game was removed from the products page on Bethesda's website. A spokesperson from Bethesda informed Eurogamer that until they're ready to talk about the game more, the focus on the site is on their upcoming titles.[18]
In May 2013 Kotaku reported rumors that development has moved to Arkane Studios and that the development has been rebooted scrapping all of Human Head Studios work and with a targeted release of 2016. It has also been reported that Obsidian Entertainment worked on the game at one point for at least a few months.[19] In August 2013 Bethesda Softworks' Pete Hines denied rumors that Arkane Studios was working on the game.[20] However, on August 15, 2013, it was reported that leaked emails confirmed the game was in fact in development.[21][22][23][24]
On October 30, 2014 during PAX Australia, it was confirmed by Bethesda Softworks vice president Pete Hines that Prey 2 had subsequently been cancelled. Pete Hines statement as follows, "It was a game we believed in, but we never felt that it got to where it needed to be – we never saw a path to success if we finished it. It wasn't up to our quality standard, and we decided to cancel it. It's no longer in development. That wasn't an easy decision, but it's one that won't surprise many folks given that we hadn't been talking about it. Human Head Studios is no longer working on it. It's a franchise we still believe we can do something with — we just need to see what that something is."[2][3] Tim Gerritsen, business development director at Human Head Studios, said, "While we are disappointed that we won't be able to deliver our vision of the game, we remain proud of our work on the franchise, which we feel speaks for itself, including the award-winning presentation of the game at E3 2011. We enjoyed working with the many talented people at Bethesda, and we wish them all the best of luck with any future plans they may have for the franchise."[25]

Shifter Lever Seal Automatic 1969-1973 is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 1 out of 5 by JayB from Melted within a month I discovered why this part was missing on my car, and why there was a black tar substance in the shift boot. This part started to melt within a month of being in the car. An upgrade needs to be made. Heat is being generated from somewhere and melting this part.

Rated 4 out of 5 by USN Mustang from Good rubber, weak metal The seal fit fairly well and the rubber is nice and flexible. The metal inside was a little weak and bends too easily. Overall it looks nice and I was happy with the product.

Picture: Ozzy Osbourne signs copies of his book 'I Am Ozzy' at Barnes and Noble in West Palm Beach Florida, USA - 26.02.10
Ozzy Osbourne and his wife SHARON are planning to move back to their native England to live out their retirement - because they are growing tired of Hollywood.
The Black Sabbath star and his wife own a palatial home in Los Angeles, and split their time between the U.S. and Britain.
And Sharon reveals the couple will one day move back to the U.K. in a bid to escape the celebrity culture of Tinseltown.
She says, "Eventually Ozzy and I will come home, which is difficult because (son and daughter) Jack and Aimee don't want to live in England.
"This (Hollywood) is no place to grow old. In England they encourage you to live individually. Here everyone wants to live the same. In L.A. it's a crime to be fat. If you're a drug addict people feel sorry for you, but if you're fat you're a criminal."

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director León Rodríguez announced today that, effective May 26, 2015, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will allow H-4 dependent spouses of certain H-1B nonimmigrants to apply for employment authorization.
Eligible individuals include H-4 dependents where the H-1B spouse:
•Is the principal beneficiary of an approved Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker; or
•Has been granted H-1B status under sections 106(a) and (b) of the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000 (AC21), which permits H-1B nonimmigrants seeking lawful permanent residence to work and remain in the United States beyond the six-year limit on their H-1B status.
Sections 106 (a) and (b) of AC21 apply to H-1B nonimmigrants where 365 days or more have passed since the filing of a labor certification application, Form ETA 9089, or 365 days or more have passed since the filing of the I-140 immigrant petition.
Eligible H-4 dependent spouses will be required to file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with supporting evidence and the required $380 fee in order to obtain an employment authorization document (EAD). USCIS will begin accepting applications on May 26, 2015. Once USCIS approves the Form I-765 and the H-4 dependent spouse receives an EAD, he or she will be able to apply for a U.S. Social Security Number and may begin working in the United States.
Despite the fact that the USCIS is not currently accepting applications for Employment Authorization under this program, individuals who believe they may be eligible should start to gather evidence establishing identity, spousal relationship to the H-1B nonimmigrant, current status documentation, and eligibility under the program. We will continue to monitor the development of this new policy and provide updates as new information becomes available.
For more information visit our website at www.laborlawyers.com or contact any member of our Global Immigration Practice Group at 404-231-1400.

President Obama has announced his plan for what he says is a partial fix of the U.S. immigration system. Through this Executive Action, more than four million undocumented individuals will get relief from deportation and will have the opportunity to apply for temporary work authorization under what is being called Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA), expand the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, strengthen border security measures, expand provisional waivers to include spouses and children of lawful permanent residents (LPR), and support high-skilled businesses and workers. For more details on the Executive Action on immigration read the Fisher & Phillips Legal Alert of the firm's website.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is available in the United States for individuals from foreign states where the U.S. Attorney General (AG) has determined that conditions in that country would result in a threat to the personal safety of individuals if they returned home (e.g., armed conflict, epidemic, or earthquake). Currently, the following countries have been designated for TPS: El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, and Syria. Once an individual has been granted TPS, he/she is not removable from the U.S., can apply for an employment authorization document (EAD), and may be granted travel authorization.
Each TPS country has a corresponding expiration date for all TPS EAD cards. The applicable expiration date can be found on the U.S. Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website. For example, the current EAD expiration date for El Salvador is March 9, 2015. If threatening conditions continue to exist, the AG may grant an extension of the TPS designation. When that occurs, the TPS foreign nationals are eligible to apply for an extension of their EAD.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security may issue a blanket automatic extension of expiring TPS EADs for a specific country when they anticipate that there will be delays in processing EAD renewal applications. Automatic extension information may be found on the USCIS website (see above link). For example, the EADs for Haiti have been automatically extended through January 22, 2015. An employer in the U.S. may accept an expired EAD that has been auto-extended to complete the Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification process for new hires or to re-verify continuing employment if:
The expiration date of the last re-registration period is listed and corresponds to the USCIS information.
For new hires, enter the document name, document number and the auto-extended expiration date under List A in Section 2 of the Form I-9. For current employees, in Section 2 draw a line through the old expiration date and enter the auto-extended expiration date and write "EAD Ext." in the margin and initial and date with the current date. If the employee will continue to work beyond the auto-extended expiration date, the employer must re-verify the employee's employment authorization no later than the auto-extended expiration date.

Training in the U.S. may be required to prepare a foreign national for a new position or a new career in his or her home country. The H-3 Trainee visa category may be the perfect option for the foreign national to gain the skills and tools needed to advance in a career or launch a new venture.
The H-3 visa provides foreign nationals with training in the U.S. that is unavailable to them in their native country and will prepare them for work outside the U.S. The H-3 trainee must not fill a position that results in productive employment (expect where it is incidental and necessary for the training) or be one in which a U.S. worker would normally be employed. A successful H-3 visa petition will include a detailed training program that includes the structure of the program, time periods for each phase of the training, the kind and percentage of training (classroom instruction, on-the-job training, productive, etc.), how the H-3 trainee will be evaluated as to the successful completion of each phase, a description of the training personnel and facilities available, and goals for each phase. The petition must also describe why the training is not available in the foreign national's home country, how it will prepare the foreign national for work in the home country, and how the training will benefit the U.S. company providing the training.
The H-3 visa petition first must be approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and once approved, the foreign national may apply for the H-3 visa at an U.S. Consulate. The H-3 training program may be for a period of up to two years and dependents can accompany the H-3 visa holder to the U.S. (although they will not be authorized to work). The H-3 foreign national would normally be required to spend at least six months at the conclusion of the training period outside the U.S. before changing status to an H or L visa.
The H-3 Trainee visa may be the solution when other trainee visa categories (e.g., J-1 Exchange Visitor or B-1 Business Visitor) are not suitable – perhaps because the training will be outside the trainee's field of study, the trainee will be paid on the U.S. payroll, or the training program is for a longer period than granted in the other trainee categories. The H-3 visa category is not subject to an annual quota or the supplemental USCIS filing fees that can come into play for other temporary work visas, such as the H-1B Professional or L-1 intra-company transfer categories.
The next time you have a need for training in the U.S., try the H-3 on for size. It may be the perfect fit.

On October 2, 2013, members of the Democratic Political Party in the U.S. House of Representatives introduced H.R. 15, "The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act". H.R. 15 is a comprehensive immigration reform bill mirrored after the U.S. Senate's immigration reform bill S. 744, which passed the U.S. Senate in June with a bipartisan vote of 68 to 32.
House Democrats' immigration bill is essentially the same as the Senate's bill. It has the same name and many of the same provisions as the Senate bill, including providing legal status and a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, making changes to the current immigration system, creating new visa categories and requiring employers to use E-Verify.
The main difference in the House Democrats' bill relates to the issue of border security. The House Democrats' bill removes the Corker-Hoeven border security amendment, also known as the "border surge" amendment. The border surge amendment included requirements to increase the number of federal border agents and build a 700 mile fence along the southern border. In the House Democrats' bill, the border surge amendment is replaced with Rep. Michael McCaul's Border Security Results Act, H.R. 1417, which requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a comprehensive strategy plan to gain and maintain operational control of the country's international borders.
House Democrats are hopeful that introducing this bill will allow the U.S. House of Representatives to move forward with developing and passing comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

Many global companies regularly send workers to train or attend meetings in Canada or Mexico. One issue often facing these employers is having to factor in the time and expense for their foreign workers to attend daunting visa interviews at the U.S. Consulate abroad to renew expired U.S. visas before being allowed back into the U.S. to resume their U.S. responsibilities. The Automatic Visa Revalidation Rule resolves this issue by permitting foreign nationals with expired nonimmigrant visa stamps to travel to Canada, Mexico or a contiguous territory for thirty days or less without obtaining a new visa for re-entry into the U.S.
In order to take advantage of the Automatic Revalidation Rule upon re-entry into the U.S., the foreign national employee must show that s/he has:
In the case of F-1 students and J-1 trainees, automatic revalidation applies to contiguous territory and adjacent islands other than Cuba. An M-1 student can only apply for automatic revalidation readmission after an absence of less than 30 days solely from contiguous territory.
Contiguous territories are simply any country sharing a common boundary with the United States. Therefore, Canada and Mexico are the contiguous territories to the United States contemplated in the automatic visa revalidation regulation. Adjacent islands, however, are defined by statute and regulation. The Adjacent Islands are Anguilla, Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Barbuda, Bermuda, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Curacao, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Marie-Galantine, Martinique, Miquelon, Montserrat, Saba, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Christopher, Saint Eustatius, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Maarten, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, and other British, French and Netherlands territory or possessions bordering on the Caribbean Sea.
Although the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers are trained on the Automatic Visa Revalidation Rule, not all officers apply it correctly. Therefore, employers should arm their foreign workers with a letter from their immigration attorney explaining the Automatic Revalidation Rule's application to the specific employee.

Many employers are eagerly watching the U.S. Congress as it debates comprehensive immigration reform legislation. However, employers of foreign workers need to be aware of another comprehensive reform already enacted—the Affordable Care Act ("ACA").
As discussed in a previous post, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") is currently in the process of finalizing its regulations implementing the ACA's "pay or play" employer obligations, or more commonly, the "Employer Mandate." The Employer Mandate, which becomes effective January 1, 2015*, generally requires "large" employers to offer their full-time employees (and their dependents) the opportunity to enroll in "minimum essential coverage" under an eligible employer-sponsored healthcare plan or face a tax penalty.
The definition of "full-time employee" is not limited to U.S. citizens. Rather, the primary determination for purposes of the Employer Mandate is based on hours worked by employees for U.S.-source income under the Internal Revenue Code. Thus, U.S. employers of foreign workers must take them into account for purposes of the Employer Mandate.
This can be particularly tricky for employers of temporary foreign workers, such as seasonal guest workers in the agricultural industry under the H-2A visa program. "Full-time employees" are employees who are employed on average 30 or more hours per week with respect to any month (or 130 hours of service in a calendar month), provided the compensation for those hours constitutes U.S.-source income. A seasonal worker may fall under the definition of "full-time employee," and thus may expose his or her employer to liability should that employer fail to offer requisite coverage.
An employer may ask how it is expected to determine whether a newly-arrived seasonal guest worker should be classified as a full-time employee given the variable nature and hours of the work and the fact that the workers are constantly in flux and often leave the country in-between seasons. The IRS's proposed regulations permit the use of "look-back" measurement periods for purposes of determining whether a seasonal worker satisfies the requirements to be considered a full-time employee. Under this "look-back" analysis, if a new seasonal worker has on average at least 30 hours of service per week during an initial measurement period, the employer must treat the employee as a full-time employee during the corresponding stability coverage period that begins after the initial measurement period has ended.
Agricultural guest workers are, by their very nature and legal status, temporary, seasonal workers. This makes the analysis much more difficult. Under the proposed regulations, employers may use up to year-long measurement and stability periods to determine full-time employee classifications. In so doing many, if not virtually all, guest workers will never remain employed by their employer for a full measurement or stability period. Even if the employer used shorter measurement and stability periods, many guest workers would still not remain employed for full periods.
Further complicating things is a "break in employment" provision, which lays out that a certain period must elapse before an employee may again be considered a "new employee" following a termination and re-hire or other resumption in service from an absence from that employer. The reasoning behind the provision is to attempt to prevent employers from manipulating the system by intentionally terminating and then rehiring employees for purposes of restarting waiting periods and measurement periods. However, for guest workers in the agricultural workers, breaks in employment are dictated by growing seasons, employer needs, and visa restrictions, not for purposes of evading the Employer Mandate.
A number of agricultural interests have requested clarification, delays in implementation, and various exemptions from the IRS regarding guest workers and the Employer Mandate, raising the difficult issues discussed above and many others. It remains to be seen if the IRS will address such concerns in its final regulations.
Meanwhile, comprehensive immigration reform legislation will also likely have implications for employers and the Employer Mandate. The bill that recently passed the Senate drastically alters the nation's immigration laws, including replacing the H-2A visas and instituting a new "non-immigrant agricultural worker" program. It also adds a "blue card" system for undocumented workers' path to citizenship. Some in the U.S. House of Representatives have declared the Senate's bill "dead on arrival." However, given current political realities, it is likely some form of a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S.'s immigration laws will ultimately pass this year.
As a result, employers of guest workers subject to the Employer Mandate should be watching both Congress and the IRS closely in the upcoming months. The Employer Mandate becomes effective in less than half a year, and clarification in this area is very much needed.
* On July 2, 2013, the Obama Administration issued guidance delaying the effective date of the Employer Mandate from January 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015.

On April 5, 2013, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it had received enough petitions to meet the statutory H-1B cap of 65,000 new H-1B visas to be issued each year. The H-1B visa category is used by U.S. businesses to employ foreign workers in a "professional" or "specialty occupation" position. USCIS also announced that it received enough petitions to meet the 20,000 advanced degree exemption. USCIS reported receiving approximately 124,000 H-1B petitions within the first week of the filing period.
On April 7, 2013, USCIS selected the H-1B petitions to be processed using a computer generated random selection process, known as a lottery. H-1B cap subject petitions received after April 5, 2013 or not selected for processing in the lottery will be rejected and returned to the petitioner along with the filing fees. USCIS has started to issue receipt notices for premium processing cases selected for processing.
H-1B petitions for extensions of stay or change of employer for workers who are currently in H-1B status do not count towards the H-1B cap and USCIS will continue to accept petitions for individuals in those categories. USCIS will also continue to accept petitions for employers exempt from the H-1B cap, including institutions of higher education, nonprofit entities affiliated with an institution of higher education, and nonprofit research organizations.
If you missed the H-1B filing window or your petition was not selected for processing, you should contact one of the lawyers in the Global Immigration Practice Group to discuss whether there are other options for employing your foreign national.

On March 8, 2013, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the release of the new I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form. All employers are required to use the new I-9 immediately to verify the identity and employment authorization eligibility of their employees.
Although USCIS requires employers to use the new Form I-9 beginning March 8, 2013, USCIS has provided a 60-day grace period for employers to continue to use the current version of the form issued 08/07/09 (the 02/02/09 version is also still valid) until May 7, 2013. Failure to ensure proper completion and retention of Forms I-9 may subject an employer to civil money penalties of up to $1,100 per I-9, and, in some cases, criminal penalties. Although the new two-page Form I-9 mainly contains format changes, additional data fields, and further instructions to the employer, it increases the administrative burden placed on employers.
Here is a section-by-section summary of the changes to the Form I-9:
Section 1: Employer Information and Attestation
Section 2: Employer Review and Verification
Section 3: Reverification & Rehires
To avoid discrimination claims, do not complete the new Form I-9 for current employees for whom there is already a properly completed Form I-9 on file, unless reverification applies. Now is the time to ensure that all your personnel responsible for completing the Form I-9 are trained on the new form. If you have any questions or need additional information, visit our website at www.laborlawyers.com or contact any member of the Fisher & Phillips Global Immigration Practice Group.

During the holiday season, many companies supplement the year-round workforce with temporary workers, including foreign workers employed under the H-2B temporary worker program. The United States Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division (USDOL) has been ramping up its investigation and audit process for H-2B program users. If your company relies on the H-2B program to meet seasonal or peak needs, make sure that you are in compliance with all program requirements.
In order to employ H-2B temporary workers, an employer must prove to the USDOL that the H-2B job is temporary (seasonal, peak-load, intermittent need or a one-time occurrence), that no U.S. workers are available to fill the temporary positions (accomplished by conducting specific recruitment steps), and that the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers will not be adversely affected by the employment of H-2B workers.
Over the last six months, the USDOL has significantly increased the number of audit notifications issued to H-2B program users. The audit notices seek:
• earnings records for both H-2B and U.S. workers in the temporary position (including the worker's home address, number of hours worked, rate of pay, total earnings for the pay period, amount and reason for any deductions, and an explanation for any differences in wages between workers performing the same duties);• an explanation of how you fulfilled your work obligations in the event that you did not employ the number of temporary workers the USDOL certified;• evidence that the job opportunity was open to qualified U.S. workers and the reason(s) why you rejected any U.S. worker applicant;• copies of agreements with foreign labor contractors or recruiters showing that you prohibit that entity from seeking or receiving payments from prospective employees (except for deductions that are allowed by law);• a copy of the job order placed with the State Workforce Agency in the area of intended employment; and• copies of the required advertisements placed in a newspaper or professional, trade, or ethnic publication.
Failure to provide all of the requested information could result in supervised recruitment for up to two years, revocation of a H-2B certification, and/or debarment from participation in the program for up to five years. Employers are required to retain H-2B documents for a three year period.
The USDOL also may conduct investigations into a company's use of the H-2B program (which could result from the audit process or based on a complaint). If the USDOL finds violations during an investigation, including willful misrepresentation of a material fact during the labor certification process (e.g., misrepresenting the date of need or the number of workers needed), substantial failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the program (e.g., placing workers at locations or in jobs not listed on the labor certification application or failing to notify the USDOL and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of premature departures of H-2B workers), or willful misrepresentation of a material fact during the visa application process, it could access sanctions for recovery of unpaid wages, for civil money penalties (CMPs) up to $10,000 per violation, and/or debarment for up to five years. When determining the amount of any CMPS or recommending debarment, the USDOL takes into consideration any history of previous violations, the number of H-2B workers affected by and the seriousness of the violations, and whether U.S. workers were harmed as a result of the violations.
If your holiday season workforce (or at any other time during the year) includes H-2B temporary workers, it is critical that all program requirements are being met and that you can show good faith compliance. If the USDOL comes down the chimney this year, make sure you are on their "good" list.

As the Phillies continue to shop closer Jonathan Papelbon this offseason, they may be interested in bringing back his predecessor.
CSNphilly.com's Jim Salisbury says the Phillies and former closer Ryan Madson have mutual interest in reuniting, even with the right-hander having missed two consecutive seasons. Madson last appeared in the majors with Philly in 2011, but since has been sidelined with significant elbow injuries.
Madson signed with the Reds before 2012 for a $6 million deal and never played a big league game, and suffered the same fate on a one-year contract with the Angels last season. He will likely have to settle for a minor league contract if he hopes to return, given his recent injury history.
Salisbury says Madson could compete for a bullpen job in spring training. Before he left the Phillies, Madson was a very good reliever. He saved 32 games in 2011 and held a 2.37 ERA through 62 appearances. The year before he posted a 2.55 ERA in 55 games.

The Phillies' bullpen could use some help after an unfortunate showing in 2013. They ranked 27th with an ERA of 4.19 from their relief pitchers.

TV One has renewed "R&B Divas" and its spin-off "R&B Divas: LA" for new seasons, but which cast mates won't make it to see another cycle?
Yet again there are rumors that Faith Evans and Nicci Gilbert will not be returning to "R&B Divas."
Syleena Johnson, Angie Stone, Monifah, and Keke Wyatt have all been confirmed for a third season of "R&B Divas," but what about the rest of the cast? It's not clear whether Fatih and Nicci have been cut from the cast along with Latocha Scott, or whether they simply haven't signed their new contracts at this time.
But if Nicci's Twitter is anything to go by, it seems that she expects to be making a return to her show. When news of "R&B Divas" getting renewed in both cities, Nicci tweeted, "Congratulations to #RBDIVASATL & #RBDIVASLA CAST on Season #3 & #2… I Look forward to many many more #CHEERS!!!"
Neither Faith nor Latocha have spoken out just yet on whether they plan to come back.

When this product was around I liked it very much. It seemed to make my skin clearer and smoother, and didn't break me out.
When it was discontinued, I did a good deal of looking around to find something similar. I ended up landing on GLYDERM LOTION LITE. It's a thin-consistency moisturizing lotion with a high percentage of glycolic acid and not too may additives, and it's fragrance free. Comparable price-wise, too.

I have been using this for about three weeks, so I'm hoping it's safe to go ahead and review.
I like this, and it has worked well for me. I don't feel much of anything at all when I apply this, and I expected to have some flushing as I have rosacea. It does smooth my skin out a little, my breakouts are reduced, and my rosacea has not flared. it adds some moisture. I use another serum on top for added moisture, and will add a drop or two of oil come winter.
I hate the packaging. The spatula is just weird and unsanitary, and I see no reason why this cannot be put in a pump, although those make it hard to get all the product out.
It's a bit pricey, but not over the top. I'll purchase again, but I'm always looking for new and better skin products. :)

Been using this every other night and like the recent reviewer below, I am breaking out in places I have never broken out before-sides of my cheek and above my lip. I have been trying to shrink them with hyrogen peroxide and it's working. I am not seeing any results either. It just seems like I am smearing on a gel. I don't feel anything and I just wash it off in the morning. I have been using natural AHA's for awhile, so maybe this isnt strong enough? Unless my face starts looking fab in the next two weeks, I won't be repurchasing. AHA's shouldnt cause purging-t's just sloughing off dead skin cells. Retinol's on the other hand, I can see how it would cause purging. I wanted to love this because of the 5 star reviews and the great price! Spatula applicator is useless since i would never double dip, so i use q-tip. So sad...UPDATE 05/05/10: still making me break out along my hairline and plugging up my pores a little. :(

I really wanted to love this product, but I'm pretty sure that its breaking me out. Also, it doesn't seem like it is smoothing out my skin. It is a gel consistancy that doesn't really seem to absorb well. I haven't been using this consistancy, only about one night a week, so it might be some sort of purging situation, but I'm not going to push through.

After looking for AHA products online, I came across this Jason oil-free moisturizer on the MUA website and since it had so many great reviews, I decided to give it a try. I have been using it for about 5 days and I am surprised at how such a light, oil-free gel could be so beneficial to my skin. I usually break out very easily if my skin doesn't like certain products (usually the chemical ones with strong smells) but this one has kept my skin in check, I have not broken out, my skin feels great in the morning and I'm hoping to see more improvements after I've used it for a while. The only thing is that I can't use this solely as a moisturizer so I wash my face (night and day), pat it dry, apply the Jason AHA and let it dry. Then, after it's no longer sticky and it's nicely dried, I apply a moisturizer. So far, I'm very happy with this product... even my pores are smaller (and I have ginormous pores on my cheeks.) I already ordered another bottle from Vitacost and will leave another review to tell you how my skin looks after a few weeks.

A true HG for me. The ratings for this product are so high, and people were touting it as a real miracle product for getting rid of a lot of skin nasties, I just couldn't resist. Fortunately, it's all true, this IS a miracle product. My skin is loving it, it has been clog-free and blackhead-free throughout my use of this. My extractor is picking up almost nothing after I put this into my routine!
One weekend I was away, I forgot this at home & when I returned -blech-the nasties were back clogging my pores (esp. nose). It's a very light gel that will take a minute or so to sink in and won't feel greasy or sticky. The little paddle applicator is ?? unhygienic to say the least, but I can live with it. You owe it to yourself to at least try this, it's only like $13 on Vitacost.com.

I bought this product due to the positive reviews here on MUA. Before using this product, I had a moderate break out on one side of my face. After about 2 uses, I noticed some of the redness had gone down. My face now is normal after a few weeks (less than 3 weeks) of using this aha nightly. This is my first aha product and I will be looking into more aha products because of the drastic results I got from this one. The only downside I can think of is the crappy packaging, but I would still repurchase this product nonetheless..

I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this product! This product is amazing! I have some acne scars on my face that have been bothering me for a while and my friend showed me this product and i decided to try it and she actually got me a bottle and I received it the other day and tried it on right away. I put it on a pimple and on some scars that I had on my face and within a couple of hours my pimple was gone. In the morning i noticed that my scar had gotten lighter as well. Im now on day 2 with using this product and so far its great! I can't wait to see the results in a couple of weeks! My only minor complaint about this product is the packaging. It comes in this tiny glass jar with a spatula thing attached to the cap. It doesn't really bother me that much though but i feel like it could be better. I would definitely buy this product again!

Update Number 2: Upon further reflection, I think Jason gave me some blackheads. Still, it doesn't bother me that much. What bothers me more is that this only worked for me for about 5 months, luring me into false complacency.
Update: I think Jason has stopped working so well for me. I am breaking out again, though not severely, but it's annoying. It's a shame. I really loved this product, but after six months my skin must have gotten used to it. It's a very light concentration of AHAs (4%) and Paula Begoun says it's not at the best PH, so maybe that's why. I will still use it as a supplement to Aqua Glycolic which is stronger and I've heard good things about. Jason (along with C. Booth Glycolic Toner) did a very good job at evening up my skin tone, though it took half a year to see results. This is a good starter AHA, if you've never used it before or have sensitive skin. It made me pink/a little tingly in the beginning, but then my skin got used to it very quickly.
OLD REVIEW (11/09): I'm a little scared to write this review out of fear I'll jinx myself, but this is the best product for acne I've ever used in my life. Took two days to work, some minor purging, but it's been smooth sailing since then. It has basically given me my life back. I only fear it'll be discontinued.
Some drawbacks:
It does cause minor pinkness/tingling to my sensitive/rosacea skin, but it's not unlivable and the benefit outweighs that con.
It feels like Elmer's Glue going on, with a similar dispenser! I find if I talk excessively or eat with this stuff on, it peels off, and then I'm scared it won't work. Strictly a nighttime treat RIGHT before you go to bed.

This is my first time using a product with AHA's. The gel goes on easy and dries fast. My skin is clearer than ever. I usually break out a little bit before my cycle and this month I didn't! I have been using for a month and have this on autoship from vitacost.com. I am also using Thayer's Rose Toner which I love!

IN 2001, when he was 26, Adam Putnam found himself the young est member of Congress. He was nicknamed "Opie"--for his thick red hair and youthful appearance--and was generally sized up as inexperienced. Five years later, the Florida conservative is chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the fifth most powerful position in the Republican House leadership.
Now 33, Putnam is known less for his youth than for his political skill. Says House majority whip Roy Blunt, "He understands his business, he's great at working with the members, and he's patient."
These qualities may be the primary reason for Putnam's quick rise, but according to Rep. Clay Shaw, a fellow Florida Republican, Putnam has enjoyed a little help along the way: He was more ambitious than most members of Florida's large Republican delegation, and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert took a liking to him as soon as the congressman arrived in Washington.
"He really caught the speaker's eye," Shaw said. Indeed, Hastert recalled his first impression of Putnam as "nobody's fool." Says Hastert, "He was articulate, knew the issues on both a national basis and local issues, and he was good at it. He had a sort of down-home presentation, too. He understood the real issues that people care about."
Hastert recognized Putnam's leadership potential. "I think he has the background that can put him anywhere he wants to go in the future," says the speaker.
Putnam has been able to dodge questions about his breadth of experience with a careful mix of respect and initiative. He speaks casually when talking about his record as a legislator and underscores the importance of hard work.
"You know, everybody comes to these jobs with some kind of limited life experience, whatever they do," Putnam told me. "I was going into this admitting that these were my life experiences, and that I'm going to work day in and day out to make the best decisions for this district."
First elected to the Florida House of Representatives at 22, Putnam now wields influence in the international arena as well as on the domestic front. High on the policy committee's docket has been the Iranian nuclear crisis, an issue on which Putnam has worked closely with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and U.N. Ambassador John Bolton. He is responsible for keeping his party members abreast of the Iranian nuclear threat.
"If they fall behind on the learning curve, and we haven't prepared members with the intellectual ammunition, they don't have the information they need to make the good decisions," he told me. "The U.N. utterly failed in dealing with Iraq; I think the U.N. will fail in dealing with Iran. So, what's the new international institution that recognizes how the world has changed since World War II? That functions? That's pragmatic?"
The way Putnam is building up the Republican Policy Committee, it's almost as if he sees it as the alternative. A fierce defender of U.S. power and American military intervention, Putnam has reshaped the committee to function as an information exchange. His leadership can be credited with a dramatic increase in attendance at policy committee meetings, furthering the value of the work done there.
"He has a very good manner with members," said Hastert. "He has the ability to talk to them and communicate with them, and the ability to do that with the press."
Putnam's idealism in foreign affairs is second only to his dedication to lowering taxes and maintaining a free market system. His fiscal record is solidly conservative: He's voted "yes" on every tax cut that's come before him in Congress, and initiated the first-ever Republican Policy Committee public hearing on tax reform at the beginning of June. He recently sponsored legislation to prevent natural gas drilling off the coast of Flor ida.
Putnam is an avid outdoorsman and lay minister in his hometown Episcopal church. He and his wife Melissa have three children, with a fourth on the way. Whether because of his dedication to family life, his conservative voting record, or the fact that his family has lived in Florida for five generations, his older constituents are enthusiastic. When the University of Florida graduate first ran for office, retirement communities welcomed him, praising his initiative, Putnam said, and showing their willingness to take a chance on a younger representative.
He might not have such smooth sailing on one issue, though. His position on immigration places him squarely between the president and House Republicans. His sympathy for workers in a district whose economy revolves around agriculture and ranching prevents him from signing onto the get-tough House bill, which would make illegal immigrants guilty of a felony. But Putnam insists immigration is an issue that needs to be approached pragmatically.
"We need to find a way to put people in jobs who are willing to perform those tasks in a way that is legal and makes taxpayers happy," he told me. "And if there's a way to do that without making them citizens, that's the most preferable." Few doubt Putnam's ability to overcome the legislative deadlock on this issue--or, perhaps, any other. Says Blunt, "I see him doing anything here he wants to do if he has the patience to stay and do it.

This section documents all user visible changes included between DynamoDBMapper versions 1.8.0 and versions 1.7.1
- add DynamoDBModel.validate() based on Onctuous
- data are validated prior to any write operations
- cache tables objects in ConnectionBorg to avoid superfluous``DescribeTable`` requests
- __schema__ can now use Onctuous for deep definitions
- DynamoDBModel.__init__ set members with no value nor default value to None instead of "neutral" value
- revert the fix for bug #17 (regressions).
- move dev deps to requirements.dev.txt (pip install -r requirements.dev.txt)
- all functions relying on type coercion in __init__ will now need to it themselves
- make sure all fields are set before saving or marked as optional as "neutral" values are no longer generated
DynamoDBMapper 1.7.1
This section documents all user visible changes included between DynamoDBMapper versions 1.7.1 and versions 1.7.0
- OverwriteError inherits from ConflictError so that raise_on_conflict always raises ConflictError while staying retro-compatible
- fix bug #17: enforce type coercion in DynamoDBModel.__init__. (thanks luckyasser)
- (internal) no more "MAGIC_ITEM" initialisation for auto_inc_int. It is not needed.
DynamoDBMapper 1.7.0
This section documents all user visible changes included between DynamoDBMapper versions 1.6.2 and versions 1.7.0
- migration engine - single object
- method ConnectionBorg.set_region to specify Amazon's region (thanks kimscheibel)
- method DynamoDBModel.from_db_dict which additionaly saves _raw_data
- raise_on_conflict on DynamoDBModel.save, defaults to False
- raise_on_conflict on DynamoDBModel.delete, defaults to False
- rename ExpectedValueError to ConflictError to reflect its true meaning
- rename to_db_dict to _to_db_dict. Should not be used anymore
- rename from_dict to _from_db_dict. Should not be used anymore
- transactions may create new Items (side effect of raise_on_conflict refactor)
- fix bug #13 in dates de-serialization. (thanks Merwok)

- boto min version is 2.6.0
- expected_values feature was incompatible with the migration engine
- allow_overwrite feature was not needed with raise_on_conflict
- to_db_dict and from_dict are no longer public
- ThroughputError. Throughput checks are delegated to Amazon's API (thanks kimscheibel)
- new_batch_list_nominal is not needed anymore with boto>=2.6.0
- conflict detection
Wherever save was called with expected_values=... and/or allow_overwrite=False, replace it with a call to save with raise_on_conflict=True. It should handle most if not all use cases. In some place, you'll even be able to get rid of to_db_dict. Rename also all instances of ExpectedValueError to ConflictError
raise_on_conflict=True --> allow_overwrite=False for new objects raise_on_conflict=True --> expected_values=... for existing objects
- data (de-)serialization
from_dict and to_db_dict have been moved to private _from_db_dict and _to_db_dict. Any direct use of these should be avoided _from_db_dict will mark data as coming from the DB
- from_dict(data_dict) for initialization should be replaced by __init__(**data_dict)
- to_db_dict for data export should be replaced by to_json_dict
- overloading for custom DB Item (de-)serialization can still be done provided that the function is renamed

Niece by Enigma-FotosWatch
©2013-2016 Enigma-Fotos
Absolutely incredible, there aren't many of her kind of beauty walking around, that's for sure!! Love black hair and a set of intensely gorgeous eyes, thanks for sharing these with us!
Most beautiful women that I love your hair. Thank you for the contribution.
Where did you find this gem? Her beauty is a type that appeals to everyone. She could be an internationally renowned model if introduced in the right circles, And if she can act or sing? Watch out. But of course many people value their privacy and would not want that kind of life..
Yeah, smokin', that's the word alright! What a babe! Should make anyone want to walk more!
shes extremly beautiful and her eyes are smokin hot
this girl has awesome, cat-like eyes.
Reminds me of Diane Kruger.
Just change her name to nice!! She looks to good to be true!
OMG she is beautiful!! Nearly flawless!!
Mein Gott, Niece is such a beauty. Her lovely face us remarkably similar to Olivia Wilde yet distinctly unique. Her flawless flat stomach instantly grabs your attention and the hint of those tattoos set low on her lower abdomen arouses your curiosity. Dare this wonderful model share more of her body dangerously so that her art is visible for admiration along with further attributes of her physique?
Awesome as always!
I looovw this girl
Your artwork has been graciously featured in Titans Christmas feature ,stay wonderful!
wow crazy awesome effect with the overlay/outlay...
Very hot!
awesome Model, DoF and Eyes....like the Pose
Hab noch nie solch einen schicken gürtel gesehen
She always brightens up my day.
love the faded background. full focus on Niece.
A nice capture of a beautiful girl! Nice touch with her in front of the frame, it makes the photo almost looks like 3D.
An instant of course!
She's like Megan Fox.
is it just me or is it hot in here...???
I like the film preset overlay and the exposure is great too. As an aside, I like how her top doesn't look like it's been pulled up for a photo -- loos like a mini / halter. Nice.
She is Stunning.
Is she your actual niece?
Is this you're niece or her name? If you took pictures like this of your niece, I am very disturbed.
way cute, eyes & hairs especially.
sasha`s sister¿ XD
Provocative title, to say the least!
that's her name does sound weird in french though, but wouldnt say provocative
What an awesome belt! Oh and Niece is not bad too
I love the models jaw line
great photo capture of essence. can I get ya opinion on my animation section on my website: animationattack.platinumdesign…
Literally stunning.
Wonderfully done! You really captured the moment!
It's nice to see some more Niece every now and then.
And does it EVAR!
Light has come in huge amounts on everyone's day, interesting post-treatment at the picture mate!
that's MY kind a shirt...and belt buckle...and 'hotty'
More Niece!!!!
Yay Niece!
i always go through the deviantart front page before my favourites, and can usually identify your photos in the stack right away, and always know when I see Neice in there. Fantastic!
She's so amazing!
Wow!! Very stunning
I was just starting to wonder if you'd have more shoots with her
that belt buckle is pretty awesome
Beautiful shot and edit
