Ninja Turtle Cake!!
The one that Edible Art made for my boyfriend this week was ALL three. He turned 30 on Saturday and my plan was to present him with a youthful Ninja Turtles birthday cake to counteract the natural growing pains of such a momentous birthday.
It worked! Thank you Edible Art Bakery & Dessert Cafe for designing this caramel apple flavored unforgettable cake.

40 Ounces of BBQ
Last weekend I had the incredible opportunity to judge a BBQ contest at Lafayette Village! "The Pork Out" raised money for the Raleigh Rescue Mission and also gave lots of local BBQ connoisseurs the chance to show off their skills! And boy do they know their stuff.
Pork Out is exactly what I did. I tried 20 different 2 ounce samples of pulled pork ... Wish I could do it again this weekend!
Busch Gardens | Water Country USA
It's the 15th anniversary of Apollo's Chariot, a phenomenal roller coaster at Busch Gardens. And Water Country USA is encouraging everyone to #ConquerTheCurl ... the Colossal Curl that is! I tried both and lived to tell the story ;)
If you're looking for a fun getaway that is sure to please kids ages 5 to 95 then head to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA!
Check out my trip to Busch Gardens here!

The new Bacon Clubhouse Sandwich comes with your choice of beef, grilled or crispy chicken. I tried the grilled chicken option and it was phenomenal! It features thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon on an artisan roll.
AND to top it off... this is the first McDonald's sandwich to use the Big Mac sauce that's not the actual Big Mac itself!
Try it out and let me know what you think! @JamieLinck #TheCW22
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
They have truffles, candied apples, chocolate bark, and anything your sweetheart desires... I stopped by last week and had the pleasure of making some fudge myself (it's a challenge!).
If you're not sure what you're craving the Rocky Mountain ladies are very generous with their samples and happy to help you decide!
Check out their website. Or stop in... 8521 Brier Creek Parkway!
Happy Valentine's Day!!! xoxo @JamieLinck #TheCW22
Losing Motivation???
I bought mine with the sole intention of wearing them to work out... so now they actually make me want to get dressed for the gym!
Follow me for all my gym follies (like having to run 7 miles in order to get a good nights sleep...) @JamieLinck #TheCW22
More paperback books, less social media
More soul searching, less judging others
More useful skills, less bad habits
What are yours?? Be sure to get them in writing and have a very happy new year!!!
Chocolate Truffles!
Try out this simple holiday recipe! Easy to make and sure to impress.

1 pkg Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
1 (8oz). pkg Cream Cheese
2 (8 oz) pkgs Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
Just mix crushed cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese. Dip rolled balls of the mixture in melted chocolate.Refrigerate for 1 hour and they're ready for your holiday party! Let me know how they turn out! @JamieLinck
3 concerts in 1 week!
The Three Concerts:
Ben Rector at Carolina Theatre in Durham
Michael Buble at PNC Arena
Butch Walker at Lincoln Theatre
While the venues and tunes may have been different ... all three men were charismatic and funny on stage! It enhances the experience when they can make smooth transitions from song to song. Check them all out next time they're in town!
1. "Girls" by The 1975
2. "The Beat" by Ben Rector
3. "Happy Pills" by Norah Jones
Wide Open Bluegrass Festival
Come out to the Wide Open Bluegrass Festival in downtown Raleigh. I'll be the emcee tonight at the free stage on Martin Street near Fayetteville Street. (That's right, no ticket needed for this stage!) Some great bands are lined up and I am honored to introduce them.
Follow me @JamieLinck for live updates and pictures! In the words of Scotty McCreery... "See you tonight!"
Fall Fitness
Apply this renewed sense of life to your work out routine. Completely switch it up for fall fitness! I'm taking longer walks instead of short runs and I've enrolled in a Pure Barre class after ditching my regular gym membership.
Not only will the new exercises keep my body guessing, but my brain as well. It'll be harder to become bored with a workout when I'm still learning what all the techniques and phrases mean!
Try it with me and follow my progress @JamieLinck.
New York! New York!
The talent on stage was impressive. And I can say the same for the DJs I was fortunate enough to meet. I took every opportunity I could get to pick their brains about their individual radio careers.
I came back to Raleigh feeling inspired (and singing non-stop show tunes)! If you have the chance definitely see a Broadway show this year.
"What do you do when it rains?"
Here are my 3 rules for looking cute in the rain:
1. It is impossible to have a good hair day. So put the straightener away, throw your hair in a low bun and rock it.
2. Rain boots are your friend. Wear them into the office but bring your heels in your bag. If you get to work early enough, not many people will see you wearing them before you stash them under your desk.
3. Buy a grown up rain jacket. Nothing kills your professional mood more than throwing your bright pink college rain coat over your $200 post-grad blazer. Now is a good time to invest in a sharp black or brown trench coat with a hood ... winter is coming!
What are your tips for surviving a rainy Monday? Tweet me @JamieLinck.
Food Truck Fever
The next one is October 13th from 12pm to 5pm and it's FREE. I'll be there.
My favorite food truck is Chirba Chirba, what's yours? Tweet at me! @JamieLinck
Back to School.. Back to Work!
Even though I am a 25 year old adult on the outside, I am a giddy middle schooler inside when it comes to new pens and pencils. There's no rule that says I can't apply the same excitement of a new locker to sprucing up my desk with a few freshly sharpened pencils, right??
Take a look at what I've done below.
And follow me @JamieLinck #TheCW22
I had some photographs taken last week as a kind of late 25th birthday gift to myself. I will always remember what I looked like after a quarter century of life.
Thanks Tripp Green!
Rey's Restaurant
On Wednesday night I experienced some of the finest dining the Triangle has to offer... Rey's Restaurant.
Located in Cary, Rey's offers an intimate setting for any family dinner or romantic night out. Throughout the meal, Rey himself (the master mind behind Rey's Restaurant) was at our table ensuring our meal was delectable and to our liking.
I chose the Grouper Lafayette and a side of Au Gratin Potatoes complimented with a glass of white wine poured in the Voodoo Lounge. The encore to the Grouper?? Bananas Foster made tableside by Rey!
It was evident that Rey had a hand in every aspect of our dinner, giving it an aura of love. This personal touch seems so rare in an age of turning tables and rushing the customer. I have never felt so welcomed and appreciated as a patron.
Without a doubt, make Rey's Restaurant your next night out. And make sure to bring a healthy appetite!
4th of July Recipe Share : Fruit Pizza
Fruit Pizza :
1 roll of Pillsbury Sugar Cookie dough
1 package of Cream Cheese (8oz)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Strawberries & Blueberries
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheet (or line with wax paper). Spread out the cookie dough on baking sheet and cook for 16 to 20 minutes (golden brown). While crust cools, beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Spread mixture over cooled crust evenly. Arrange fruit on top of cream cheese (bonus points if you make it look like an American flag!). Refrigerate for an hour then serve!
Good luck!!! xoxo
Second? It tastes way better than it sounds! The seed serves as a great protein replacement if you're not a meat eater. It's gluten free. And can be made for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Cook it with almond milk to make an oatmeal like breakfast snack. Or use chicken broth for a flavorful side at dinner. It can be found next to rice in your local supermarket.
Whichever way you cook it just remember to rinse it off first!

Graduation Time!
(Threw in a picture of me after receiving my diploma from Elon University in '10, "Long live Elon!")
So I'm gonna tell you a few phrases that I, myself, would like to hear:
- Everything is going to work out.
- You are more organized than you think.
- But you could still be MORE organized.
- Donate those clothes you don't wear!
- Wherever you end up you'll make feel at home.
- Don't be scared!
- This is a new chapter and is so exciting!!!

Wake Health Medical Group
If you're working through a sports or work injury I definitely recommend visiting Wake Health Medical Group for a medical massage. Or if you're dealing with skin issues they are a perfect option for treatment of that ailment as well! Their website is even titled WakeGreatSkin.com so you know they mean business.
Let me know if you make a trip there and tell me how your experience was!

Thank you Wake Health Medical Group!

Mom's Day
If you're lucky enough to have a mom or mother-like figure in your life, it's easy to show her you care. You don't necessarily have to buy a present. You could make her breakfast instead and pick some wild flowers outside. It'll still make her feel loved which is all she wants. xoxo.
Imagine Dragons
I got to meet Imagine Dragons before their concert last night downtown! Not only were they super nice guys but they put on a really wonderful show with tons of uplifting music.
They said they'd be back in Raleigh, so when they come try and make a point to go!
Recipe Share
Ingredients :
2 Avocados
1 Can of Rotel
1 Lime
Smash up the 2 avocados with a fork. Drain the Rotel can and add half of it to the avocado mush. Squeeze a little lime juice over top and stir it all up! No need for spices or seasoning because the Rotel takes care of all of that.
Try some! A great healthy snack any time of the year, not just the 5th of May.
XOXO enjoy.
How To : Get Healthy
xx Pick one time a day to swap out a carb for a vegetable. For example, go for a cup of broccoli instead of a baked potato. It's a small adjustment but will make a big difference.
xx Go for a walk! If you haven't done too much exercise this winter and then all of a sudden start running 3 and 4 miles you might shock your system and get sick. So start slow and just walk around the park and you'll be running before you know it.
xx Hydration is key. Drink at least one more glass of water a day than you normally would. Not only will this help flush out toxins in your body, it'll clear up your skin too!
How To: Cure Those Sunday Blues
+ Get out your planner and write it all down! Everything you want to accomplish this week. It'll feel great crossing an item off every day.
+ Treat yourself to a little something, whether it's a Disney movie or playing with a cute pup! Anything that puts a smile on your face and lights up your evening.
What do you do to cure your Sunday Blues? Tweet at me and let me know! @JamieLinck
25 Isn't So Bad!
I was really nervous to turn 25 (a quarter of a century is a longtime!). So when my grandmother asked what she could do to make my 25th birthday a little more exciting, I asked her for a trip. I had no idea I'd be blessed with the trip of a lifetime... She sent me to Hawaii!
We spent 4 nights on the island of Oahu that holds Hawaii's capital Honolulu and popular tourist destination Waikiki Beach. And yes... we did everything tourist-y that you could imagine! We hiked to the top of a mountain, drove through a rain forest, saw 20 foot waves with local surfers surviving them, and visited the zoo!
My favorite was the Paradise Cove Luau. It wasn't just a show, but indigenous activities before hand and an incredible meal after.
Hawaii was more than fun and games! We made time for education and stopped by Pearl Harbor. It was eerie to be in such a beautiful place and know something so horrible had happened there. We walked through a submarine to get a better sense of what Navy life was like.
If you ever get the chance to head to Hawaii, take it! The 16 hours of travel is completely worth it!
How To: Earn Those New Clothes
I just turned in these 4 gently used dresses at a local "recycling retail store" and made 35 dollars. That's enough for a dress and flip flops to this weekends barbeque!
The Power of a Manicure
Check it out, Tuesday night at 8pm on The CW22
Guilty Pleasures
We've all got them. Mine happens to be the Ranch Snack Wrap at McDonalds! Whenever I'm on the run taking Vivian to puppy class or headed to work at the radio station I know I always have 5 minutes to spare for the deliciousness that's handed to meat the McDonalds drive thru.
So I just about squealed when I heard McDonalds was bringing a bigger version of the snack wrap stateside! Coming to a drive thru near you are three hunger stopping McWrap flavors:
Chicken& Bacon
Sweet Chili Chicken
Chicken& Ranch (my favorite)
All three have a crispy or grilled chicken option. While you're ordering see if your McDonalds offer the Shamrock Shake! The luck of the Irish has never tasted so sweet
Check out the McWraps here:

(written from a Production point of view)
Richard "Dick" C. Datin, Jr. (10 October 1929 – 24 January 2011; age 81), a 1950 Architectural and Structural Technology graduate of New York Institute of Applied Arts & Sciences of Brooklyn NY, was a professional model maker who built scale models for various Hollywood studios and TV commercials beginning in 1955. It was Datin who was called in by the Howard Anderson Company to construct the three-foot Enterprise model designed by Matt Jefferies in 1964.
Further contributions Datin was called upon to make to the Original Series were:
- Eleven-foot model of the Enterprise , subcontracted to Production Models Shop owned by Volmer Jensen due to space and time restraints in 1964/1965, supervision and detail construction
- Subsequent modifications on both models in 1965 and 1966
- Enterprise's shuttlebay in 1966
- Deep Space Station K-7 model in 1967.
The Space Station K-7 was Datin's last contribution to the Star Trek franchise, but his signature contributions went unacknowledged for the next few decades.
Almost forgotten as being the first model maker for Star Trek, Datin had an uphill struggle to regain recognition as such, the Smithonian for example, flat-out refusing to believe his claim on the occasion of the 1992 Star Trek Smithsonian Exhibit.
Yet, a 1996 article by Dan Fiebiger in Cinefantastique Magazine, and more specifically, the assistance of Star Trek studio model aficionado William S. McCullars, has made his work known. In particular, the in-depth interviews with him by McCullars, published as a two-part article in Star Trek: Communicator (2001), has provided some insightful information into the art of model-making of the 1960s, due to Datin's meticulous record-keeping. He has also been acknowledged by his former boss, Howard Anderson, Jr., in the TV series Movie Magic, Season 1, Episode 11: "Models and Miniatures: A Model of Perfection", of which Datin was exceedingly proud, and in which he himself made a brief appearance. Pursuant the 2001 interview, McCullars sent a print with accompanying text of the photograph of Datin taking delivery of the 11-foot model, to the Smithonian's National Air and Space Museum, at their behest, thereby reversing their 1992 position, where it was added as a plaque to the permanent display of the original studio model. This act finally gave Datin, as well as the other builders of the eleven-foot Enterprise model, the acknowledgment for their contributions, something Datin himself had vainly tried to get for years.
In 1979, Datin changed careers and became the founding curator of the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City. During this time and after his retirement in 1989 he has also written several history books about his hometown of Reno, Nevada.
Richard Datin passed away Jan 24, 2011 in Reno, Nevada.

PSP blending tips?
Once again, a newbie question here for PSP users.
I haven't been able to begin a class yet, so I am just figuring things out as I go. But, for the life of me, I can not get how to blend a photo into the background.
1. I am interested in how to feather the edges. When I use the feathering tool and change numbers etc... nothing changes.
2. How do you get the photo to barely see it on the page? Almost as if it is part of the background. I have played with the opaque and changing numbers around, but it still looks like the original photo I started with.
I was hoping to spend this entire weekend practicing and wanted to figure these two things out. (I even cleaned the house today, so I don't have to on Saturday. LOL)
Thanks for any insight you can give.

There are no products matching the selection.
I want to again thank you for really going the "extra mile" in taking care of all my concerns: I can't speak highly enough about the efforts you went through to fully address my situation. I've already recommended you to a colleague of mine who I know has an interest in knives, and hopefully he will place an order with you in the future... and, as you can well imagine, I will certainly not hesitate to order with you again in the future, as well as recommend you to others. Your efforts truly give many other companies something to aspire to in terms of customer service. I wish you the best of luck for your company's continued success, as all of you certainly deserve it! Many thanks again, and have a wonderful week!"

Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, the most food centric holiday of the year. And, anyone who has ever prepared a Thanksgiving dinner knows how much work – and stress – is involved. We obsess over every little detail as we strive to wow our families and friends with our culinary prowess. But nobody's perfect, and sometimes even the best-laid plans go awry. That's when it helps to have a few tricks up your sleeve.
One year, my mother-in-law accidentally turned my oven on to "broil" while I had two beautiful pumpkin pies baking in it. As I sifted through the ashes of my poor, incinerated pies, I just wanted to cry! Actually, I did cry. But then my creative spirit kicked in, and I came up with this super quick and easy alternative using ingredients that I already had in my pantry. read more >>

The camera uses thermal imaging and is designed for indoor surveillance. It allows users to detect people, objects and incidents in complete darkness and difficult conditions such as smoke, haze, dust and light fog.
AXIS Q1921 Thermal Network Camera supports H.264 video compression, which reduces bandwidth usage and storage needs by up to 80% compared to Motion JPEG. The camera provides multiple, individually configurable video streams in H.264 and Motion JPEG. Each stream can have its own color palette setting.
AXIS Q1921 has two-way audio support, which allows the user to communicate with visitors and intruders.
With a resolution of 384x288 pixels and multiple lens alternatives, AXIS Q1921 can optimize detection performance to meet most application requirements:

Since thermal cameras are immune to problems with light conditions and normal shadows, they can achieve higher accuracy than conventional cameras in most intelligent video applications. AXIS Q1921 Thermal Network Camera offers motion detection, audio detection, and detection of tampering attempts.
The camera also provides capacity for third-party analytics modules, including support for AXIS Camera Application Platform. AXIS Q1921 Thermal Network Camera supports ONVIF for interoperability between network video products.

Comments On Jan 06, 2015:Awesome bag, got it on clearance for a little less than half of MSRP. Did not expect the world from this purchase however, when I received the bag I was stoked about the size and how the compartments fit boots, helmet and center compartment has enough space for all extras.

Comments On Sep 02, 2013:You can't load this bag up with all your gear, if you do, you will rip all the straps off. That has been my experience with this bag. Other than that, the zippers and overall function of the bag is fine.

Comments On Nov 13, 2012:This bag has plenty of room to put your gear in. However, the straps have already ripped off and now I have to pick it up from the ends. It is already sun fading and I have only had it for a couple of months. Spend the extra 50 dollars and get a better bag. I wished I would have

thank you dodie
I have always enjoyed the Labor Day parade and whole weekend. It is the "big" weekend in town. You just can't find a parade like it anywhere - lots of local color and characters! Everyone seems to come home that weekend.
A word to the wise, do not go to the Armory dance with a rolling stones tee shirt on.[B)][B)][B)]
. . . "Each year, the annual parade just gets better and better lasting well over an hour with returning guests Al Kaly Shrine and The Westernaires. Each group has entertained parade watching well over 40 years.". . .
Hay Al that was pretty funny did you do that? The labor day parade was always fun for all of the Tafoyas my mom would let me and my brothers go down town and sit on the curb and save a place for everybody in my family we had to save alot of room for all of us. I had an old uncle that was always in the parade he was a real cowboy he worked on ranches all his life. We would wait for him to ride by on his horse and wave at him and he would ride up to all of use and he would talk to my mom and dad and all of use and we all felt so special. After the parade he would ride his horse to our house and let us pet and feed and water the horse. My uncles name was Gus Johnson when I was a kid I always thought that was the coolest cowboy name I have to laugh when I think about it now. Some time back in the late sevties early eighties a writer from the Denver Post did a story on the old cowboys and my uncle Gus Johnson was one of those he wrote about. He worked all over southern Colorado he was quite the good old boy he lived a good long life he died about ten years ago he was ninty seven when he passed. I remember going to the carnival and the rodeo at round up park. I think I was in T-dad on labor day about ten years ago the parade route had changed and it didnt seem as big. Anyway I have good memories.
I think GUS is a great cowboys name! Did you save that article that the Denver Post wrote about your uncle?
Do real cowboys tuck their pants in their boots?
Barberego, that did happen to me. I had just returned from a Rolling Stones Concert in Boulder Co with your brother Ronnie. I had decided that it would be fun to go dance with some cow girls. I was dancing like crazy and the cow girls seem to be having fun. I guess the cowboys did not like the fact that I was having so much luck dancing with all the gals so they decided to pick me up and carry me out side and beat the living day lights out of me. I guess Rock and Roll and Country just didn't mix back then. Now it is hard to tell the two apart.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - Fire crews had their hands full with a fire that filled a second floor apartment with smoke.
It happened in the 1000 block of Lincoln Avenue at around 12:15 a.m. Monday night. When fire crews arrived, they noticed heavy smoke spewing out of the duplex style apartment. Crews pinpointed the fire near the attic of the home and worked to put it out.
They were able to get it under control shortly before 1 a.m. Monday morning. At least one person was sent to the hospital in serious condition, but we do not know what type of injuries the victim suffered. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The Division of Motor Vehicles says it will offer Saturday hours at driver license offices across the state.
The Greenville DMV location on Memorial Drive will be one of the first locations to start the Saturday service, on March 2nd. Other locations will be the North Raleigh and West Charlotte offices.
DMV Commissioner James Forte says the extended hours will make it easier and more convenient to conduct business with the state.
The offices will be open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. The DMV says most regular driver license services, including regular road tests, will be offered, with the exception of CDL skills tests, medical re-exams and motorcycle skills tests.
The DMV says starting March 4, these three offices will be open for extended hours, from 8 a.m.- 6 p.m. It says other offices will be gradually phased in for Saturday and longer weekday hours.

But I Knew That He Knew That I Knew He Knew Too/
According to Sheera Frenkel, Israeli officials were made aware by Saudi Arabia of the backdoor talks between the US and Iran detailed in depth by Laura Rozen at Al Monitor this past weekend, which culminated in the interim Geneva agreement. In brief, the deal will see Iran recoup some US$7-8 billion in sanctions relief through 2014 if, in exchange, Tehran does not enrich any more uranium over 5%, allows for new IAEA site inspections, and downgrads its remaining enriched-to-20% uranium stockpile. Some outstanding issues, like the Arak heavy water reactor under construction and Iran's "right to enrich," remain to be discussed in talks down the road. Saudi Arabia would not have been a venue for these talks, of course - nor would its closest GCC associate, Bahrain, given the Al Khalifas' mistrust of the Islamic Republic - but other Gulf states were. Namely Oman -- which the US uses as a third party to approach untouchables like the Taliban and the Islamic Republic -- and perhaps the UAE as well (unlike its Saudi neighbors, the Emirati Cabinet very quickly welcomed the interim accord). News of the meeting went from these states to Riyadh and then probably got to Tel Aviv, obviously infuriating the Israelis because they were not told up front about the talks.Read More

Three Wilson residents have been charged with stealing broken down vehicles along a major Eastern Carolina highway and then selling them to scrap dealers.
Pitt County deputies have charged Lamont Speight, Maurice Ruffin and Shaiesha Holden with stealing two vehicles that were parked along U.S. 264, while the trio face similar charges in Nash, Wilson and Wayne counties.
Deputies say the three would find the broken down vehicles, hook them up to Speight's pickup truck and drive them to a salvage yard in Clayton where they were sold as scrap. All of the vehicles were subsequently reported as stolen by their owners.
Lawmen searched Speight's home late last month where they found a license plate that came from a car stolen in Nash County as well as a stolen John Deere lawn mower and a stolen utility trailer.
In North Carolina, according to investigators, if a vehicle is older than ten years you do not need to provide a title to sell it at a salvage yard.
Deputies say more charges are likely against the three as they continue to locate additional victims in the case.

Bacteria. We can't see them, but we spend much of our lives washing and sanitizing to rid our hands, surfaces and food of them. Most people view bacteria as undesirable, dirty and unwanted.
More and more research is emerging, however, about the potential benefits of bacteria. In fact, bacteria are critical to maintaining normal gastrointestinal and immune system function.
It appears that bacteria can even affect energy absorption. Researchers have identified a difference in the types of bacteria found in a lean person's gut versus those that live in the gut of someone who is obese. The amount of energy is small, but researchers wonder if over time this could be a factor in weight maintenance.
Are you wondering how you might encourage these beneficial bacteria to set up shop in your gut?
A healthy diet of nourishing foods in moderate portions and regular exercise are the mainstays of achieving a healthy weight. But what you eat goes beyond just calories. Feed yourself and your gut well. Bacteria may play a bigger role in our health than we've given them credit for.
Thinking about trying more fiber or fermented foods to be more bacteria friendly? Already eating this way and reaping benefits? Share your experiences.
To your health,

Spent 12 days in the hospital with acute diverticulitis. Had no surgery. Been on home fermented veggies for the last 12 years. Cannot eat pop corn. It definitely flares the diverticuli. 12 years with kraut, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, beets all lacto fermented and no diverticulitis issues. I am a huge believer in good gut bacteria.
So what do you think about taking Probiotic pills daily? Should we do this or not?
This is really nice blog for me.Because now days demand of this thing and for daily schedule and cross fit fitness necessary this nutrition products.http://www.besthomecaremn.com/
Spent 21 days in the hospital with Diverticulitis, most of the time on pain killers, and 24 hour antibiotic drips in Feb-Mar 2013. Blood would fill the toilet bowl. I thought I was going to die. I still have the pain on the lower left hand side, but its much better now than having my entire large intestines inflamed. I can't understand how it could have hit me as hard as it did, I eat veggies all the time, I make meals with veggies, always have. Thought it was the popcorn, but they are saying no, new research. I use laxatives to help me if I feel I need to clear things out. Can't take the chance of having it come back. The pain went down the front of my legs!! I have never had pain like that in my life. It could have saved my life, my colon was checked and they found a growth which didn't look pretty. It was removed. Still a little scared about it coming back, don't like hospitals.
Hi I am having a lot of trouble with my stomach and colon. I had a hernia operation about 26 years ago. At first it was okay but later on I started to have problems again. At the moment I am taking homeopathic vitamins and minerals with cultures. How long can I take them. It is helping with my digestive system, but I still get pain in my anus althought it havent been bleeding since I started with that treatment. What foods can I eat and what must I avoid.
I recently found out what the problem was and that I have diverticulitis the pain is in the back left side and front left side of stomach it feels like gas that can't come out you feel like you have to go to the bathroom when you get to the bathroom the pain stays in your back your body begins to get hot all over like you're on fire but you feel cold in the front you'll get chills fever nausea sometimes you will have to throw up while your on the toilet, now I'm on this website looking for help! Iwould be.interested to hear more stories and solutions, last time, i really thought i would die on the bathroom floor. This is the first time i've had blood in my stool,
My story: First bout of diverticulitis 2005 resulted in perforation & partial colon resection. On high fiber diet & stool softener since. Started taking daily Probiotic one year ago using 3 different brands. Second bout occured last week despite these efforts. Disappointed in Probiotics for divertic's. I am normal weight & eat healthy low-fat low-sodium whole grains etc.
Suspected Listeriosis from recalled chopped red onions last May.Had all the symptoms,fever, stomach pain like I had been kicked,other symptoms,stiff neck, yukky, but no spinal fluid taken to be sure.Mild, took 10 days...All I could tolerate was coleslaw with vinegar (not creamy) and vinegar was what i really craved.Think my body was telling me something
Jennifer...I experienced severe pain due to diverticulitis last fall and ended up in the hospital after three days and three doctors misdiagnosing. While there they found other gastrointestinal issues that needed attention. Whatever you are experiencing, go see a gastrointerologist (?) ASAP. Prayers to you for successful treatment.
You might want to get to a general care clinic
I think i am having my first.serious diverticlosis flare up
My pain however is middle to right side......feels shrp.when.moving and like is on fire......wht to do?545

You know those moments when you find exactly what your looking for this is it. TiltingWindmills I'm extremely grateful for this, and will be putting it to good use!
Greetings all. I hope I'm not posting this wrong, but I just finished a set of geomorphs for a post apocalyptic fallout style game I'm going to be running. I was inspired by Dyson Logos' dungeon geomorphs and thought something similar would be really useful for my game, so I drew 50 4" square ruined street tiles with buildings and set up some tables for building randomly generated neighborhoods along with some charts for what sort of buildings you might find and their general condition. I plan on using them along with a map of LA I drew in the style of the City of Lankhmar map with it's large blank spots that could be filled in by the DM as needed.
I drew these by hand and tried to make them each individually interesting. The streets don't match up perfectly but I'm pretty happy with the results overall. I've created a pdf with all the geomorphs and tables in it, but if you would like to use them you can also grab them from the parent directory.
Here's an example that I rolled up at random:
Then all the tiles together:
Lastly, this is the map of LA I drew up. You can get the full size print version at the link.
I hope someone else out there might find it to be of use.
You know those moments when you find exactly what your looking for this is it. TiltingWindmills I'm extremely grateful for this, and will be putting it to good use!
These are awesome! Love geomorphs, love P-A...putting the two together is brilliant! Nice work.
I love 'em! They have such a great old school feel to them.
Wait, this is from April?! How the heck did I miss a post?! I read every single thing and somehow I missed this. I must have been temporarily dead or something. This is great stuff.

Fantastic! I had posted a request for just such a tile set on my blog (www.RisusMonkey.com) and I was directed here. I love the tiles and I hope to do something similar.
Hey that is very cool. I missed this as well. Makes you wonder what else slipped through the cracks when you were turned the other way...repped for sure!

I've been pretty busy with school and work so I haven't had a chance to do much in the way of gaming stuff, but if anybody wants to use these feel free.
What I ended up doing was generating maps for each zone, then rolling up or setting encounters with particular groups or interesting landmarks so that I didn't have to define the whole city, just areas within a few zones of the players' location. I printed them out then wrote notes on them as they were traveled through, using highlighters to sketch out zones with environmental threats like radiation, and some encounter stats for particular gangs or groups.

Great idea and really nice simple design! I'm going to use these in an upcoming Fallout PnP campaign!
Do you know if anyone has done a color version or added any textures?
Last edited by Neheh; 03-24-2011 at 03:54 PM.
I don't know if anyone has fiddled with them at all. I wouldn't mind making a bunch more or doing some colored or textured versions myself but I'm going to school full time and working like crazy so I hardly even have time to game let alone work on pet projects. :\ If someone feels like taking a crack at them though, you're welcome to use them however you like.

Venice is famous for what? For the gondolas, San Marco, Carnival and its masks …
But where are the Venetian masks so famous?
We know that they were used to maintain the anonymity of pranks and intrigues. But Venetian masks have never been something anonymous, indeed!
There are various types of mask, each with its own function.
Let's see some.
The Bauta is one of the most authentic Venetian masks, and it is accompanied by a certain type of clothing: the white mask, called "larva", should be worn in combination with a black veil, a cloak of the same color, said Tabarro, and to a dark color tricorn. It was the best mask used to keep the identity hidden.
A little curiosity: the married women who went to the theater were obliged to wear it, while for the girls looking for a husband was forbidden.
Mask worn by playful women, it represent a poor and sick man. The women were accustomed to wear wandering the streets supported by hangers, as if they were not able to walk, and dressed like indigent.
It has a very particular appearance: in some cases it is a mask with feminine features, in some other looks even feline. For the most part it was worn by men, along with clothing and typically inhabit female and a big pair of wooden clogs. In ancient times, the man who wore it carried on his shoulders, in a wicker basket, a young man, smiling and oblivious to the fatigue of the poor "woman"! If the mask was featured cats, inside the basket there was … a kitten!
It's a clown in white and short dress, always cheerful and prankster. His favorite joke was pulling eggs filled with perfumes to friends, acquaintances and girls who committed the imprudence to appear on the balconies to its passage.
The Moretta is a mask of French origin. Initially covered in black velvet, was used by the French ladies to visit the nuns. Caught on very quickly in the Serenissima, as they made more beautiful and mysterious the female faces.
It should be worn with wide-brimmed hats decorated with veils.

- Is it normal not to know when I need a wee?
- Why am I getting stomach cramps after the birth?
- Why do I still look pregnant even though I'm not?
- Will I have enough milk to feed my baby?

- I'm exhausted. How can I cope?
Why am I weeing so much now I've had my baby?
While you were pregnant, your body stored fluid. Now that your body is returning to normal, this fluid has to go somewhere. The extra fluid, tissues and blood needed during pregnancy have to be dissolved, and will leave your body, via your kidneys, when you wee.
In the days after giving birth you'll probably be weeing more often, and in larger quantities (Vance 2009: 135). This is one way your body sheds the extra fluid. You'll also sweat more. You may feel the need to wash or shower more often while you get through this phase.
You may have swollen feet and ankles for a while, as the extra fluid in your body moves around. It may be even more noticeable than any swelling you had when you were pregnant (Marchant 2009).
Even though your body is trying to shed fluid, you still need to drink plenty to keep your bladder and kidneys healthy. Staying hydrated will also help to prevent constipation. If you're breastfeeding, you'll be thirsty often, so have a drink handy while you're feeding your baby.
Is it normal not to know when I need a wee?
Yes, but don't worry, it won't last. The lack of feeling is caused by the nerves that connect to your pelvic floor muscles being stretched during your baby's birth (Ashton-Miller and Delancey 2009). It makes your muscles feel numb for a little while.
Leaking wee when you cough, sneeze, laugh or exercise is very common after having a baby (Thom and Rortveit 2010).
In late pregnancy, your pelvic floor was put under great strain. The weight of your uterus, your baby, and the placenta and amniotic fluid, all bore down on your muscles. As you gave birth, your pelvic floor muscles relaxed and stretched, to allow your baby out into the world.
You can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles by doing pelvic floor exercises. You may not feel much when you first do the exercises, or be able to do much more than twitch your muscles.
Keep trying, even if you can't feel an awful lot. Soon after your baby's birth your midwife should explain why it's important to do your exercises. So ask her for help if you think you haven't got the technique right. Also, see our video about how to understand your pelvic floor.
Doing pelvic floor exercises three times a day, every day, should strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, and remedy the problem within a few weeks (Boyle et al 2012, NICE 2006). But if doing the exercises doesn't help, or if you are having any difficulty with passing wee, speak to your doctor or midwife. You may need to see a women's health physiotherapist, or a continence nurse.
Why am I getting stomach cramps after the birth?
What you're feeling is your uterus (womb) contracting back to its pre-pregnancy size. Just before your baby was born, your uterus was about 25 times the size it was before you became pregnant.
Within minutes of birth, your uterus begins to shrink and clench like a fist. Its criss-crossed fibres tighten in the same way they did to push out your baby, causing cramps (afterpains). The pains may feel similar to period pains, though sometimes the pain can be severe (Marchant 2009). It takes weeks, rather than days, for your uterus to return to its normal size.
Your midwife will check your uterus after your baby is born. She'll place her hand on your tummy and feel for the top of your uterus in relation to your tummy button and your pubic bone. Let your midwife know if it feels sore when she does this, as it may mean you have an infection.
The inner layer of cells that lined your uterus will start to slough off and pass out of your body as part of a period-like discharge (lochia). This may last for up to six weeks. Bright red at first, it gradually gets lighter in colour, fading to pink then whitish-yellow, before it stops (Marchant 2009).
Why do I still look pregnant even though I'm not?
Your tummy muscles have been stretched and weakened, and your uterus needs time to shrink down. After a vaginal birth, it's recommended that you start exercising your tummy muscles as soon as possible. This will help you get back into shape, and lowers your chances of getting a bad back (Lee and Thomas 2009).
Start off gently with any exercise programme, and always listen to your body. Seek advice from a midwife or physiotherapist before exercising if you had back or pelvic pain when you were pregnant.
Will I have enough milk to feed my baby?
As soon as you've given birth, your body gets to work again. Your baby's suckling and two hormones called prolactin and oxytocin stimulate milk production (Inch 2009). If those first breastfeeding sessions cause some tummy cramps, it's because oxytocin also triggers uterine contractions (afterpains).
Each time you breastfeed your baby, your body sends signals to your brain to make more hormones to produce more milk. It's a supply-and-demand process. If you decide not to breastfeed, your body will produce milk to start with, perhaps making your breasts feel very full. But without the demand to make more, your milk will dry up.
The first, rich milk is called colostrum, and is only produced in small quantities. After two to five days, your milk should come in. Nearly all mums are able to produce plenty of milk (CKS 2011). If you're worried that your baby's not getting enough milk, talk to your midwife or a breastfeeding specialist. You'll probably find it's to do with your baby not latching on properly to your breast.
When will I be able to sit down comfortably?
It's very common during a vaginal birth to have a small tear to the area between the opening of your vagina and back passage (perineum). Up to nine out of 10 women have a tear or graze after giving birth(RCOG 2008). This usually heals quickly. About one mum in 100 has a more severe tear or a cut (episiotomy), which may take longer to heal(RCOG 2008).
Your stitches may be painful for a few days or weeks (Andrews et al 2008, Macarthur and Macarthur 2004). You could take paracetamol and use cold gel packs on your perineum to soothe the area(NICE 2006).
Talk to your midwife if you are worried about pain, or if you are not sure if your perineum is healing. And remember to keep doing your pelvic floor exercises, to help to reduce the swelling (NHS Choices 2011) and speed up healing. You could download a pelvic floor app for your smartphone, which will remind you when it's time to do them.
Why are my emotions all over the place after the birth?
Like most new mums, you may be feeling up and down, perhaps due to:
- physical discomfort after your baby's birth
- the demands of caring for a new baby
- worry about being a parent
- sleep deprivation
- hormonal changes
Whatever the cause, it's normal to feel overwhelmed and weepy for a few days after you've given birth (the baby blues). This usually appears two or three days after the birth, and should get start to get better a few days later(SIGN 2012).
If the feelings of anxiety and upset don't fade in the first few days and weeks, or if you're feeling worse rather than better, you could have postnatal depression (PND). Tell your health visitor, midwife or doctor (DH 2009), so they can help you to feel better.
I'm exhausted. How can I cope?
If just reading about all this makes you feel like taking a nap, it's no wonder. The dramatic change from pregnant woman to new mum is exhausting, and when it's combined with a lack of sleep, it's no wonder you're feeling tired. In just a few weeks, your body reverses changes that took nine months to happen. So take things slowly to begin with, and let yourself recover from giving birth.
Try to get extra rest during the day, while your baby is sleeping. This can be hard if you have other children to care for, so ask friends and family to help out.
Listen to your body, and take a nap when possible. You'll get through these early days, grabbing rest when you can, and with the help of that most glorious of distractions: your new baby.

Superman has a new girlfriend! It's Penny from "Big Bang Theory." "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill is dating Kaley Cuoco. A source says, "They were both single and started dating recently. It's just the beginning stages of a relationship and they're having a great time." It's just hilarious that Penny's best friends are Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj who are all huge superhero geeks!
Season Two "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard will compete on the next season of "The Biggest Loser". He'll be the show's first ever celebrity contestant. The season premiere is set for October 8th.
It seems like "Big Brother" has cast a bunch of self-righteous, insensitive racists this season. We're just one week in, and already the 24-hour online feed has shown the cast mocking African American and Asian housemates, using gay slurs, and acting horrible toward women. Here's a brief rundown of the kinds of nonsense that went down this weekend: We're intentionally calling out the offenders by using their full names. WARNING: This is completely offensive!! Spencer Clawson has called women the c-word and has spit the gay slur that starts with an 'f' in the face of Andy, this season's only gay housemate, multiple times. Amanda Zuckerman also uses gay slurs. And Kaitlin Barnaby said that she likes gay people, but they're, "untrustworthy in a game like Big Brother." Meanwhile, Aaryn Elizabeth Gries whined that Andy would most likely get next week's MVP because, "People love the queers." And in addition to being homophobic, she's also racist. Aaryn demanded that Candice, an African American woman say, "asked, not axed." She also said of Candice, "Be careful what you say in the dark, you might not be able to see that b****." And she said that Helen, who's Asian American, "Should be kissing our ass and serving us some f***ing rice." Gina Marie Zimmerman also wondered if they could make Helen's eyes straight. And she called welfare, "n-word insurance." She did not censor the word, but she whispered it, so it's possible she said the version that ends with 'A' not that that's an acceptable alternative in the least. Jeremy McGuire, calls women Bi***es and has said, "I did touch Kaitlin's vagina today. She didn't act like she was happy. I like to feel around, see what she's working with, see if it's a nice meat wallet. I know she's on her period." OH MY GOSH?!?
Johnny Depp told Jimmy Kimmel last night about his 14 year-old daughter Lily Rose being a huge fan of One Direction. Johnny was able to get her into "The Ellen Show" to see them and meet them. The guys decided they wanted to meet Johnny too, so they came back to his house.


text: As young African American males think about playing professional sports, primarily football and basketball, there is a sport out there that is just as lucrative as those, but not very many Black males play — it's baseball. Adrian Turner, a transplant to Minnesota by way of Grambling State University, is striving to reach his dream of playing Major League Baseball (MLB). Turner was born in Tuscon, Arizona, and due to his father's job he ended up in Kenosha, Wisconsin. At St. Joseph High School, a private school in Kenosha, he was a three-sport athlete.

The definition for on-campus employment is in 8 CFR 214.2(9)(i).
There are two types of limits on the employment:
An F-1 student has three main employment-related guidelines:
Not complying with these guidelines for on-campus employment may be a violation of status that could result in the F-1 student having to leave the United States.
The questions above on "What qualifies as on-campus employment for an F-1 student? and What are the basic guidelines for on-campus employment? define the parameters for on-campus employment.
As the DSO, you have certain responsibilities:
An F-1 student may begin working as much as 30 days before the start of a program of study. They should inform the DSO before they begin work.
If an F-1 student finishes a program (such as a bachelor's degree) and starts another program of study at the same campus, the student may continue on-campus employment as long as the student plans to enroll in the new program of study for the next term. If otherwise eligible, may an F-1 student continue to work on-campus with a pending application for reinstatement or change of status?
The job must be physically located on the school's campus or off-campus at the site of an educationally affiliated organization.
Employment on-campus has to be for the school or for a company that contracts with the school to serve students directly.
For example, if your school contracts with a food service company, an F-1 student can work for the company at school facilities but not for the same company at any off-campus locations.
For example, an F-1 student cannot work for a construction company, even if the job site is on the campus.
However, an F-1 student may work for a contractually affiliated company such as a school bookstore, because it provides services to students.
In the case of off-campus locations, educational affiliation means the location meets one of two important criteria:
In the case of on-campus locations, educational affiliation means the location meets the following criteria:
Yes. If an F-1 student finishes one program of study at one educational level (such as a bachelor's degree) and starts another program of study at the same campus, the student may continue on-campus employment as long as the student plans to enroll for the next term.
An F-1 student who is enrolled in school, maintains status and follows the guidelines for on-campus employment may continue to work. The F-1 student should keep a DSO informed of any changes in employer and hours, however.
An F-1 student may only work on-campus after the program end date if continuing the education at the next program level at the same school.
Yes. However, the F-1 student's total work hours for all jobs cannot exceed 20 hours during the school term. The F-1 student may work full-time during those periods when school is not in session or during the student's annual break.
An F-1 student may participate on-campus employment and CPT and may not exceed an aggregate of 20 hours of employment per week. An F-1 student may not participate in OPT and on-campus employment. The F-1 student may work full-time during those periods when school is not in session or during the student's annual break. In this context, the F-1 student must remember that the primary purpose for being in the United States and way of maintaining status is enrollment in an SEVP-certified school.
No. The 60-day "grace" period after graduation or post-completion OPT is for an F-1 student to prepare to leave the United States, unless the student is beginning a new program of study. An F-1 student may consider applying for post-completion OPT to continue working after graduation.
When an F-1 student transfers to a new school, on-campus employment is available to the student only at that school after the record release date and can start on-campus employment within 30 days of the program start date. The F-1 student cannot work at the prior school after that date.
A DSO can authorize work starting within 30 days of the program start date.
No. Per 8 CFR 214.2(f)(18), the only employment in which an F-1 border commuter student may engage is CPT and post-completion OPT.
An F-1 student automatically has permission to work on campus (unless he or she is a border commuter) but still needs to work with a DSO to ensure the job offered qualifies as on-campus employment.
An F-1 student will need certification letters from the DSO and the employer. The student must present these letters to officials at the local Social Security Administration office to get a Social Security number.
If the F-1 student intends to list on-campus employment as a means of financial support, the DSO should enter the dollar amount of the anticipated income in the on-campus employment field in SEVIS when they create the student's initial Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) record.
If the student's means of support changes and the student now wants to list on-campus employment, a DSO must update the student's record accordingly.
DSOs may include on-campus employment information in the SEVIS remarks section even if the student does not intend to list this work as a means of support.
DSOs should terminate the student's SEVIS record for unauthorized employment if the student engages in any unauthorized employment or works hours in excess of those allowed.
SEVP recommends that a DSO keep a copy of the letter from each employer that describes the type of work, the affiliation to the school (if needed), and the number of hours the student will work per week.
DSOs should keep a copy of their letters to the Social Security Administration certifying that the student may work on-campus.
F-1 students may work at a campus other than the one at which they attend classes if the other campus meets the following criteria:
An F-1 student needs to talk to their DSO before changing jobs. This will allow the DSO to ensure that the new position qualifies as on-campus employment and to ensure the DSO has the correct employment information in the student's SEVIS record.
The only exception is if the Secretary of DHS suspends this requirement, by means of a Federal Register notice, due to emergent circumstances. The student must demonstrate to you that the extra work is necessary because the emergent circumstance has affected his or her source of support.
DSOs should endorse the student's Form I-20 with a reference to the Federal Register notice that announced the emergency exception before allowing the student to work more than 20 hours a week.
The only exception is if the Secretary of DHS suspends this requirement, by means of a Federal Register notice, due to emergent circumstances. The student must demonstrate to you that the extra work is necessary because the emergent circumstance has affected his or her source of support.
Endorse the student's Form I-20 with a reference to the Federal Register notice that announced the emergency exception before allowing the student to work more than 20 hours a week.
Regulation that defines off-campus employment for F-1 students is in 8 CFR 214.2 (f)(9)(ii)(A). Generally, it is employment that is for economic need and does not necessarily have to relate to the student's academic course of study.
An F-1 student must show an ability to afford the costs of school and living expenses before entering the United States and should not plan to work off-campus. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will authorize off-campus employment only in cases of severe economic hardship occurring after a student's enrollment in an academic program and after the student has been in F-1 status for at least one full academic year, or in emergent circumstances as defined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Emergent circumstances are the events. Special student relief is what they get as a result of an emergent circumstance.
USCIS makes case-by-case decisions for off-campus employment for students who can show that new, unexpected circumstances beyond their control have created severe economic hardship. These may include the following:
An F-1 student must have remained enrolled for at least one academic year, in status and in good academic standing before USCIS will authorize off-campus employment.
The F-1 student must be unable to get on-campus employment, or the pay from available on-campus employment must be insufficient to meet financial needs.
For each request approval, a DSO must provide the F-1 student with a Form I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status," endorsed to that effect.
The F-1 student must file a Form I-765, "Application for Employment Authorization," and pay a fee to USCIS. The student should file within 30 days of the day the DSO endorses the Form I-20. If USCIS approves the application, the student will receive a Form I-766, "Employment Authorization Document," (EAD) from USCIS and can begin working.
Approval for off-campus employment is good for one year. If the F-1 student needs to continue working off-campus, the student must re-apply.
The guidelines for off-campus employment based on emergent circumstances are in the authorizing Federal Register notice.
The USCIS website has a listing of notices and memorandums for groups currently allowed relief due to emergent circumstances
First, a DSO should check to see if on-campus employment is available, and only recommend off-campus employment if available on-campus employment is not sufficient to meet the student's financial needs.
A DSO should ensure the student has read and understands the guidelines for off-campus employment.
If the student meets the following criteria, a DSO can recommend off-campus employment:
Off-campus work authorization requires case-by-case approval from USCIS. Approval is not based on the student's choice of employer.
On-campus employment at an off-campus location is available to all F-1 students except border commuter students. An F-1 student does not need USCIS approval. However, the employment must be for an employer educationally affiliated with your school. For more details please see the section about on-campus employment
See question on What are the guidelines for off-campus employment?
No. According to 8 CFR 214.2(f)(18), a border commuter student may only engage in practical training, specifically CPT and post-completion OPT.
The process starts when an F-1 student asks the DSO's permission to seek employment in an off-campus job. After the DSO decides if they should make the recommendation, they enter it in SEVIS. The DSO should print the supporting Form I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status," sign pages 1 and 3 and give it to the student.
SEVP recommends that a DSO help the student ensure that the supporting evidence for the Form I-765, "Application for Employment Authorization," clearly shows eligibility.
See the User Manual for School Users of SEVIS Volume II Form I-20 for detailed instructions.
The student must file a Form I-765 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 30 days. See the USCIS website for the form and filing information. The student must pay a fee to USCIS. Electronic filing is available. A DSO should make sure the student reads the form carefully and follows the directions.As part of the supporting evidence, the F-1 student must include the specially endorsed Form I-20 signed on pages 1 and 3 by a DSO.
Yes. A DSO has the option in SEVIS to cancel their recommendation for off-campus employment– see the User Manual for School Users of SEVIS Volume II Form I-20 and the SEVIS Help Hub.
The only reasons for granting work authorization for off-campus employment are economic hardship or emergent circumstances. The USCIS officer will base the decision on the following information:
The F-1 student can check online at the USCIS website using the application receipt number.
If USCIS approves an F-1 student's employment authorization application, they will send the student a Form I-766, "Employment Authorization Document," and a letter notifying the student of the decision. In addition, the F-1 student's SEVIS record automatically updates to show the off-campus employment approval.
If denying an application for employment authorization for off-campus employment, USCIS will send the F-1 student a denial letter giving the reason(s) for the denial.
No. If USCIS denies an application for employment authorization, the F-1 student will receive a letter that explains the decision. The student can file a motion (by the deadline given in the letter) with the same office to re-open or to reconsider the decision.
By filing a motion, the F-1 student is asking USCIS to re-examine or reconsider its decision
An F-1 student may apply to have the fee waived. For information see the USCIS website.
|Number of hours
|While school is in session
|20 hours per week or fewer
|During the F-1 student's annual break
|When school is not in session
|Full-time (if the F-1 student plans to enroll full-time in the next session)
See 8 CFR 214.2(f)(9)(ii) for a full explanation of the limits when school is not in session.
The only exceptions are emergent circumstances. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security may lift the limits temporarily by publishing a notice in the Federal Register.
Authorization lasts for one year. For more information, see the question on When is off-campus employment available?
No. To avoid this situation, an F-1 student should submit new Form I-765 from ninety days to six months before the expiration of the current EAD.
If USCIS does not approve or deny the Form I-765 within 90 days of receiving the application, the F-1 student may apply for interim employment authorization. See the USCIS website for more information.
Yes, work authorization continues as long as the EAD has not expired and the student otherwise maintains F-1 status.
Yes, it is possible for USCIS to reopen and deny the F-1 student application for off-campus employment. A denied application ends the student's employment authorization. An F-1 student must maintain status and be in good academic standing. Employment authorization automatically ends if that student does not maintain status. One example of a violation of status is working more hours than authorized.
An F-1 student whose EAD has not expired may work at the transfer-out school up to the transfer release date, but not after. An F-1 student who needs to continue working off-campus after the transfer must apply at the transfer-in school.
No. This is not permissible on the current EAD authorized on the basis of recommendation from the transfer-out school. A designated school official (DSO) at the transfer-in school must review the student's circumstances and make new recommendations, if warranted. The student will have to file a new Form I-765 with supporting documents and fees, but does not have to wait a year before reapplying.
Yes, this is permissible if the F-1 student meets all of the following characteristics:
The DSO must report this action to SEVP in SEVIS by terminating the student's record for unauthorized employment.
DSOs should stay in touch with F-1 students and emphasize the need to carefully follow the guidelines for off-campus employment.
The off-campus employment authorization ends 1 year after issuance or upon completion of the program (whichever comes first). An F-1 student may be eligible to apply for post-completion optional practical training upon graduation.
The internship must meet certain criteria:
The student must meet certain criteria:
A DSO does not need to consider either of these items:
A border commuter student may not work as this type of intern within the United States. Commuter students may only engage in optional or curricular practical training.
This student must follow a specific process to complete this application:
These international organizations are available in 8 CFR 316.20.
The process starts when a student asks about employment as an intern at an international organization.
If the DSO decides to certify the student's eligibility, the DSO must enter their recommendation into the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). The DSO should then print the supporting Form I-20, sign pages 1 and 3 and give the form to the student
See the User Manual for School Users of SEVIS Volume II Form I-20 for detailed instructions.
Yes. A DSO has the option in SEVIS, but only before the student submits the Form I-765 and supporting documentation. See the User Manual for School Users of SEVIS Volume II Form I-20.
The F-1 student can check online at the USCIS website using the application receipt number.
See the related question.
This type of employment can be full-time or part-time. However, the student must be full-time student and maintain status.
This authorization is valid for one year. If the job continues to be available, the student must apply for continued employment authorization six or more months before the authorization expires.
No. See the related question.

May 2, 2016
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- ESPN is apologizing for some of the commentary from Brent Musburger during last night's telecast of the college football championship game, won by Alabama over Notre Dame.
As ESPN's cameras repeatedly focused on spectator Katherine Webb, who is Miss Alabama USA and the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, Musburger kept commenting about how attractive she is. He said, "Wow, I'm telling you quarterbacks: You get all the good-looking women."
ESPN has released a statement saying that the commentary "went too far" -- and that Musburger "understands that."
Meanwhile, Webb has picked up more than 140,000 new Twitter followers.
Among those who noticed Webb was Arizona Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett. He tweeted her his telephone number and suggested that they meet after the game. He later tweeted that he meant to message her privately.
McCarron responded after the game, telling Dockett on Twitter to "keep dreaming."
