The "Distortion" Theory
Spanish UFO researcher Jose Antonio Caravaca continues to develop and explain his theory of "Distortion" during UFO events.
We find much merit in his hypothesis which you can follow at Senor Caravaca's blog by clicking HERE.
If the theory of distortion was the result of a purely mental causes or caused by a physical effect (Persinger's theory) without the participation of an external agent, the patterns of the apparitions would not contain common elements.
Unless they are the result of structural proximity in the physical brain. That seems excluded as a possibility...
Hi Parakletos
In the same report, I affirm that Persinger's theory can be used as responses for sporadic cases and is very valid. But for all the UFO manifestations, remains very limited.
It is very strange that the variety of encounters do not multiply to infinity in all aspects, whether the cause was just mental.
I think the term distortion is a difficult one albeit our language whatever it happens to be is a barrier to clarity.
Using distortion as a term, I think all encounters of various stripes include distortion as well as entrainment, bias projection, superimposition and so forth.
However I think it varies by intensity of the effect by proximity. Included with this again using the term distortion I would say distortion of physical laws are evident that also include the aforementioned neurological effects, which often time have physical symptoms that arise later from the observer. I would include ground trace evidence as well as space time anomalies. I think to say it is one or the other when it is both by the intensity of various effects is accurate. The distortion of physical material laws are concurrent. I hope your blog ties these effects with both the mind and the physical effects. The high radiation levels of energy present do not rule out a unknown form of plasma. I think it is possible but too early to conclude this is a sentient intention in of itself.
We tend to look at "UFO" phenomenon as a stand alone clustering where the dats seems to show other Fortean anomalies in the same parabola,the curves.. which makes me think it is more likely to be a unknown natural phenomenon that is yet to be discovered.
Ive watched slot of documentsries with jose in them. Thanks for the info it was very interesting. i have a ufo blog aswell, check it out.
Hi Bruce...
The biggest argument against the theory of mind, is in the regularization of the phenomenon. If it were a effect purely mental, now, with all the information, the UFO investigators, would be saturated; of landings incidents , abductions, contacts. However this does not happen. After years of frantic activity UFO, the cases have disappeared, and most importantly NOT been replaced by any other phenomenon of anomalous perception.
The existence of incidents where physical evidence is reason to believe that there is a factor external to the mind of the witness.
I used the term supported Distortion presents similarities with the oneiric world. There not is another kind of perception (quantum physics).
The distortion can be understood as a new form of cognitive interpretation, not based on writing or verbal language.
Basically it would be a distortion of the information stored in the mind of the witness, presented within the context of UFO experience. The map of Betty Hill is a good example of distortion.
Thanks for your comment, I'll take a look at your blog ...
Hi Jose
I think respectfully you are saying the the province of the mind and that of the physical environment are not intrinsic to one another, embedded in one another, therefore, it appears you are suggesting that if they were, it would be a continual entanglement of hallucinations. I beg to differ inasmuch this phenomenon of transient energy reversals appear to require more then simply mind or matter, Descartes has been largely refuted, as immaterial energy informs the material and vice versa. What changes their laws or allows them to reverse hierarchies as causal forces to me suggests an unknown form of transient force, that is natural. Do you tend to think this distortion is intentional by psuedo humanoids or by the mutation of existing relationships on a transient basis by unknown energetic phenomenon?
Our hypothesis is not so different...
I almost never refer to "other minds" as humanoids. Maybe they are some kind of "intelligent energy", which interacts with the human mind.
You are convinced that there is nothing outside to humans. I respect your opinion.
Personally I think that how you act and proceed, the phenomenon we face eludes any scientific research.
You have thought of the thousands of close encounters that have taken place in the world, none has been sporadic or spontaneous in the consultation of a physician or hospital, or in the stadium of the Lakers.
If it was a result of "something" mental, the very massification of UFO experiences, would have produced errors of all kinds.
As there are thousands of potential patients to investigate.
Remember, now, no anomalous phenomenon of perception has replaced UFO encounters, as you explain this?
pd: sorry my english
I think Sasquatch encounters have largely replaced UFO encounters, as well as other anomalous lifeforms.
This example is not appropriate. In the United States, for years, have Sasquatch visions. And if so, as you say, people would have close encounters with the Bruce..
Sasquatch in the kitchen of her home making biscuits or toast. Because the phenomenon had developed as happened with flying saucers, the simplicity to complexity.
Neither Spain, France or Italy for example, despite its abundant UFO casuistry have seen the birth of any kind of phenomenon of anomalous perception.
If it was a result of "something" mental, the very massification of UFO experiences, would have produced errors of all kinds.
Unless it is due to a structural development of the brain -- which varies according to either genetics, or extremely early learning.
Not to dispute your opinion, but I was trying to convey where interest was drawn, which there appears to be more interest in these crypto-creatures versus humanoids, hence I am reminded of Lyle Watson's theory wherein the more attention is paid to anomalous creatures, the more details are revealed as evidence. He used the Link photos to illustrate this. Again there are sonar versus, radar tracings, audio recordings, intriguing and also falsified videos..sound familiar? Yet there is no evidence that anything exists on a material basis..just as "angel hair", ground trace evidence, radar recordings etc existed..just as hair samples, nests ( remember UFO nests?) apply..I really think there is more than enough evidence to suggest strongly that our focus is too narrow. BTW, a anomalous encounter with a Bruce would scare the daylights out of anyone.LOL
What is your opinion of Ted Phillip's most recent work that appears to be a variant of what was reported at Skinwalker Ranch, which seems to indicate poltergeist activity, full bodied apparitions, strange ghost lights and odd animals have been reported. This seems to expand your theory as I suggested beyond your tighter categorization.
Colm K who was at Skinwalker and I have exchanged e-mails and I trust his account, despite the many attempts to read more into these events as staged, or whatever.
Hi Bruce and Parakletos...
I still insist that our ideas are in close proximity.
My greatest question, and answering also Parakletos, is that the anomalous phenomena of perception, do not continue under any logical parameters off extention. They reproduce by time selective and affects only isolated individuals.
If it not had "something external" to the human mind, which activate these mental processes, the current spread would be overwhelming. However, in the information age, UFOs vanish.
I am convinced that the poltergeist activity phenomena are related, somehow, with the evidence presented by UFOs.
We must unite the Flying Saucers with cryptozoological animals, Marian apparitions, ghosts, etc ...
In my article devoted to the incident of Mrs. Lotti, I think it shows how different they two minds, can distort the same phenomenon. The same objects do not produce different visual stimuli, is the distortion that found in the germ of the apparitions, which causes the differences.
Distortion should not be interpreted (only) as a phenomenon caused by perception, is a means of communication, expression of an unknown reality.
PD: sorry my english, my friends
You may or not not be interested in "The Abiogensis of The Paranormal"
Best Wishes
You are presumably aware of the auditory hallucination produced by applying electrodes to a patient's exposed skull. That sound memory was located in a fixed position in the brain -- identified by where the probe touched.
Since those locations have a physical location in the brain, they must also have a relative location to each other. The closer memory A is to memory B, the increased probability of memory A interfering with memory B -- in a sort of cross-contaminatory kind of way.
It is clear that the world of hallucinations is a fascinating subject, and has a broad sense within the world of the paranormal and UFOs, than we assume.
However, in the same way, it is infeasible to assume that psychic events such as root only, are causing the bulk of UFO problematic.
I insist on my argument, if close encounters with aliens, they were just caused by different kinds of hallucinations, its increase in these last years it would have been spectacular.
Your opinion is worthy to consider, but not as a global response. Although I promptly let that total knowledge of how our brain will open the doors of thousands of enigmas ...
PD: Thanks for the link, Bruce...
Are you familiar with Old Hag Syndrome? Do you think the hag has a real external existence? How do you account for this phenomenon if you agree that it's not due to real physical hags running around the world?
In my writings on the Theory of Distortion, I speak precisely of the similarity of this phenomenon with the oneiric world, and not only for the imaginary component of dreams.
Sleep paralysis, as well as alterations over time (dream passes at high speed in relation to what surrounds us) is closely related to the phenomena we study
(They are also very interesting, hallucinations hypnagogic and hypnopompic).
Do not forget that in the Theory of Distortion, the human mind has a privileged place as a cause of much of the phenomenon. Even many brands and wounds that have the witnesses after a close encounter, may be linked to the world of religious stigmata caused by psychosomatic processes.
I believe in the external agent, as I have said many times, because the spread of this type of experience does not obey natural laws or development of "mental infection". And above all, because the UFO phenomenon is elusive and consciously avoided their study.
Not to mention their undeniable physical reality, seems far from any known mental processes.

Una vista eccezionale sul Bosforo! La camera al 4 ° piano di un fatiscente e non in fase di ristrutturazione è in una condizione molto buona. Il sbattono porte chiuse un po 'ma il prezzo associato alla visualizzazione siamo stati in grado di dimenticare i fastidi. Svegliarsi con vista sulla Moschea Blu e Topkapi è una meraviglia. Biancheria da letto, tuttavia, non è il più confortevole.
Une vue exceptionnelle sur le Bosphore ! La chambre située au 4ème étage d'un immeuble assez délabré en cours de rénovation est dans un très bon état. Les portes claquent un peu mais le prix associé à la vue ont su nous faire oublier les quelques désagréments. Se réveiller avec la vue sur Topkapi et la mosquée bleue est une merveille. La literie toutefois n'est pas des plus confortables.

ci siamo divertiti molto bella a samane di. La stanza non è molto grande, ma esattamente lo stesso del DESCRPTION e Samane è una persona adorabile!
we had a very nice time at samane's. The room is not very big but exactly the same as the descrption and Samane is a lovely person!
Samane era molto bella. La camera è piccola ma questo non importa, perché l'intero appartamento è così bella e pulita. Inoltre è una delle migliori zone di Istanbul ... e la vista è semplicemente incredibile!
Samane was very nice. The room is small but that doesn't matter because the whole flat is so pretty and clean. Moreover it's one of the best areas in Istanbul... and the view is just amazing!
Very nice and cosy room with a wonderful view!
Great service and very friendly staff!
We stayed for our one week holliday in this room. And we whould do it again.
The included breakfast in the hostel (3 min walk) gives you a good basement for the day. Ercan was realy friendly and the comunication (in english) was great.
Like the descriptions of other users are telling, the view is breathtaking. The room it self is realy charming and the rest of the flat has a simple standard in comparision to german standard. The stareway up to the fifth floor is realy special. It feels a bit like Havana 20 Years ago. After a couple of days it feels like home.
We visited Istanbul in the middle of October 2015. I can imagine that in summertime the room can be very hot.
A nice room with a wonderful view in a big apartment.
I recommend it. Thanks Ercan.
The location is perfect and the place is lovely.
Although we've had unpleasant moment with staff. We were promised early breakfast (we had early flight). When we came there was nothing that looked like breakfast... It would be easier if we they just didn't promise.
The view from the window is stunning enough that I can recommend this stay. Also the location is great and the hostel staff friendly and helpful. The room was clean and even though you shouldn't expect luxury, everything is in good enough shape. More equipment for the shared kitchen would be a good idea. The stairway doesn't look good as others have stated, but it's not a real problem. Although choice for breakfast is not abundant, it's tasty (served in the hostel, which is a short distance away).
Several different rooms from this apartment can be found on wimdu. I got the 15m² one instead of the 25m² I booked, which wasn't a problem for me (in fact I didn't even realize it when I was there, so didn't ask about the reason), but confirming beforehand might be a good idea if you need the space.
Make sure you remember the entry of the house if you plan to come back late, because after the shutters are in front of the closed shops, the street looks quite different.

Hundreds gathered at Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope on Thursday for the funeral of a 12-year-old boy killed Brooklyn boy who was struck by a van and killed on Tuesday evening outside his home near Prospect Park.
Amidst audible sobs in the packed synagogue, friends and family of Samuel Cohen-Eckstein stood to bid him farewell.
Rabbi Ellen Lippman and Cantor Lisa B. Segal of congregation Kolot Chayeinu led the emotional and difficult service, at times even shedding a few tears themselves.
"They're a wonderful family," Segal told the Forward after the service. "Amazing people."
Tamar, Samuel's older sister, spoke first, and said that her brother used to "fill every silence with his silly trumpet talent and insightful comments about the world."
Her voice cracking, she recalled the longest time they had ever spent apart, when Sammy went away to summer camp for four weeks.
"I was so happy when you wrote me a letter," she told her brother, in absentia, "even though it was short and didn't really say much."
Amy Cohen, Samuel's mother, said she was shocked she will not see her son bar mitzvahed, or ever find out where he will attend high school; his choice was between Bard High School in Manhattan or Brooklyn Tech. She recalled how he used to "drag me to the gym to keep me young" and around the home would "insist Tamar had to empty the top half of the dishwasher when he emptied the bottom," to make sure the chore assignments were really equal.
"I am wracked with guilt that I could not do more to protect him," she said. "I still can't believe that the six-pack abs he loved to show off couldn't protect him from the van. In the end, I want to believe that he chose death over a life with out the ability to experience joy."
"There's a huge hole in our family and in our hearts," said his father, Gary Eckstein. "We were all excited to see the person he was becoming. We'd like to celebrate the life he lived which was full and vibrant."
"He was known for saying constant thank yous for even the smallest thing, and had incredible dimples and an infectious smile," Lisa Cohen said about her nephew. "Life without him is unfathomable."
Rabbi Lippman read a portion of what would have been Samuel Cohen-Eckstein's d'var Torah at his Bar Mitzvah ceremony, which recounted the story of members of his family returning to Germany after the Holocaust. The boy said he would have to "look deeper into why people forgive each other" and such horrible events.
Samuel Cohen-Eckstein was due to celebrate his bar-mitzvah on November 16 at Congregation Kolot Chayeinu in Park Slope. The progessive synagogue's tradition dictates that each b'nei mitzvah make their own talit for the occasion. According to Segal, the synagogue's cantor, Samuel's parents will be keeping his.

Building a Bank Takes More Than Just Snakes
In an area surrounded by rice fields and flanked by the Sutter bypass, there is a small but fertile area filled with water and plant life, but there are no crops growing here. This land has become a home dedicated to the giant garter snake.
The spot in question is the 429-acre Sutter Basin Conservation Bank, created by Westervelt Ecological Services in 2008, and according to U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Biologist Dwight Harvey, "this bank has become one of the best examples of created habitat for the giant garter snake in the Sacramento Valley." What was once agricultural land in an area surrounded by rice and other crops has become much more than that.
Listed as a threatened species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1993, the giant gartersnake inhabits agricultural wetlands and other waterways such as irrigation and drainage canals, sloughs, ponds, small lakes, low gradient streams, and adjacent uplands in the Central Valley.
Because of the direct loss of natural habitat from agriculture and development, the giant garter snake relies heavily on rice fields in the Sacramento Valley, but also uses managed marsh areas in Federal National Wildlife Refuges and State Wildlife Areas. Snake habitat tends to be areas where there is a mixture of wetland and upland, foliage and open space, where there is both water and cover available. Unfortunately, this puts the snakes into harm's way when the fields are worked over by tractors and people.
This is where the idea of a conservation bank becomes useful. Starting in the early 1990's, conservation banks are like financial banks, protecting resources like a bank protects people's money. When a company or individual plans a project that will impact endangered species or other natural resources, they may buy credits at a conservation bank in order to offset any impacts. The bank owner then uses the money to protect and manage the resources within the bank.
Traditionally, project developers have been asked to preserve part of the area they are developing. Sometimes this is a good policy, but generally it is better for the species to have larger areas protected and conservation banks are a good option for that.
It is also more efficient and cost effective to manage a bank instead of small, isolated properties. By providing an alternate habitat that is free of the dangers associated with other areas where the snakes found, researchers can monitor these created wetlands and adapt the management of them so the snakes will inhabit these set-aside areas and thrive once again.
One of the first giant garter snake conservation banks in the Sacramento Valley was the Pope Ranch Conservation Bank, located in Yolo County. Constructed in 2001, it employed a simple design of three narrow channels that meander through three separate fields. Since then, the understanding of the habitat preferred and needed by the giant garter snake has evolved and changed to incorporate new ideas and research.
"With each conservation bank something new is learned about the species and about how the snakes interact with their environment," Harvey commented.
The Sutter Basin consists of six canals of varying lengths, allowing each canal to be drained separately in order for maintenance crews to allow for cleaning of the channels and reduction of marsh biomass to provide more foraging habitat for the snake. This allows the snakes to relocate to another area within the bank when required maintenance is done.
The bank also alternates between wetland and upland, foliage and open space, to accommodate the snake's needs on a year-round basis, and uses a mixture of irrigation and well/ground water to balance out the levels of nutrients and contaminants found in both. Surface water is the primary water source with well water used to supplement the marsh when irrigation water is scarce or of poor quality.
Much has been learned by each successive bank, from amount and source of water, the mixture of highland to wetland, location and size. "This is as much about what does not work as what does," points out Harvey, "Each of the close to a dozen banks located within California have been learning from and bettering what came before."
Approximately 2400 total acres of habitat have been recreated for the giant garter snake, with each bank averaging in size of about 200 acres each, and each incorporating new layouts and differing mixes of habitat areas for the snake. "The feedback from site monitoring and on-the-ground habitat management experiences over the last several years has greatly contributed to the evolution of habitat restoration design and management activities for this species," added Matt Gause, senior ecologist with Westervelt Ecological Services .
With all conservation banks, location is very important. The site needs to be in a known area inhabited by the species. What seems to have made the Sutter Basin Bank such a success so far is both the mixture of habitat within the bank and the use of both irrigation and well/ground water, and how each of these aspects are mixed together within the whole. Instead of two or three habitat-specific areas within one bank, Westervelt decided to take a more natural approach to the planning of the bank as a whole, and so far the snakes are loving it.
"Banks are a conservation tool and a recovery tool," says Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office's Assistant Field Supervisor Ken Sanchez. "Conservation banks have been used as a means to slow the loss of habitat, not only for the giant garter snake, and to provide benefits to a number of other species of concern to the Service."
These include waterfowl, the western pond turtle, tricolored blackbird, the white faced ibis and a number of other egrets and herons who will nest in the same habitat as the giant garter snake. The true test will be over time; as the amount of knowledge acquired between the construction of the Pope Ranch and Sutter Basin banks has led to new and exciting ideas of how best to create and manage a habitat for the snake, so too will time show the relative merits of conservation banking, and the effects upon the species they aim to protect from extinction.
For now though, the giant garter snake seems content to rest along the bank of a shallow canal filled with water to drop in to when it senses danger, a place to escape the hazards of people and vehicles and just warm itself on a rock in the sun. Sutter Basin Conservation Bank is a habitat worth calling home.

Where I stayed
Our guesthouse was in a dense block of buildings divided by little alleyways. As we stepped off the boulevard any hint of the city's French past disappeared. Pedestrians and scooters wound their way around the many street vendors that lined the sides of the tiny lanes and the air was pungent with fish sauce
We originally came up with the idea of coming to Vietnam after both reading Anthony Bourdain's A Cook's Tour, so in a way we are primarily here for the food and the rest is a bonus. With that in mind we headed out for our first bowl of pho, a soup that forms the basis of the Vietnamese diet. The vendor put some rice noodles into a bowl, covered them in a delicious broth and threw in some thinly sliced beef which finished cooking in the soup. It was then up to us to add veges, such as mung beans, and flavour the soup with our choice of chilies, lime, fresh herbs and condiments.
After lunch we headed to the Reunification Palace which belonged to the successive Presidents of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam)
After a breakfast of Mrs. Long's home made noodle soup (mmmm...) we spent the following morning hunting down one particular food stall in a city of thousands of street vendors. Stopping to check out some sites along the way we made our way across District 1. I had first heard of the Lunch Lady from an excellent food blog (http://gastronomyblog.com/2008/08/09/meet-the-lunch-lady/) but it is actually Anthony Bordain who is responsible for her swell in popularity amongst international foodies since she was featured on his TV programme No Reservations. We arrived at the block in which we had read she was located and strolled through its lane-ways, stopping to peer at each street vendor. Finally, on the corner between two little streets, behind a cart surrounded by little plastic chairs and tables we spotted a woman that we recognised from the photos on the net. Unlike most soup vendors, who specialise in one dish, the Lunch Lady makes a different soup every day of the week. We ordered two bowls and I had a couple of fresh spring rolls to accompany it. We spiced up the delicious rich broth with chilies and lime. The chicken leg was wonderfully tender, it fell away from the bone, and the firm texture of the noodles was a highlight.
The bill for the meal came to an incredible 48,000 dong, which is about NZ$3
I was so stuffed I could only waddle my way to the War Remnants Museum where we spent the afternoon reviewing the horrors of the American war. Admittedly it was a fairly one-sided presentation, after all it used to be called the Museum of American War Crimes, but this didn't take away from the very real human suffering displayed. One of the most effective exhibitions was the 'tiger cage' section, which contained examples of prison cells and torture techniques, including many photographs where the torturers had lovingly documented their work. The other extremely moving display was the work of photographer Phillip Jones Griffiths, showing the horrific effects of agent orange. And let's not forget that this hideous chemical was allowed to be manufactured in New Zealand by the American company Dow Chemicals. Shame. After you have seen images of birth defects and entire families subjected to lives of illness and deformity I don't know how it would be possible to defend the motives of the West, even if you believed in them in first place.
The next day we were booked in to learn yet more about the war. Our bus was headed for the Cu Chi, a village that literally went underground during the war. The result was over 250kms of tunnel network that was a Communist stronghold just 50kms from Saigon. A huge amount of the American war effort concentrated on trying to eradicate it, but for every strategy they came up with a counter strategy was devised. Sadly, the tunnel area itself was disappointing, so highly manicured that we felt it did not well reflect it would have been like. Our group was herded from site to site and given the opportunity to pose for identical photos (in foxhole, on tank etc). However our guide did avoid the 'tourist tunnel', which has been expanded to allow Westerners to fit through comfortably, instead allowing us to crawl through a tunnel still in actual size. This were so small we had to go on our hands and knees, rather a claustrophobic experience and it did make the mind boggle that people survived these conditions. Also on display were many different sort of traps that the Viet Cong used on the US soldiers, which did illustrate what a terrifying experience being a GI in Vietnam would have been. And for Nathan there was a real highlight - getting to shoot an AK-47 on full automatic! (I abstained).
The best part of the trip for me was actually the bus ride
We decided to spoil ourselves and went to La Fourchette for a wonderfully rich French meal. The food was great, particularly our mains which were the duck leg confit and the pork red wine stew. The pork was so tender it fell apart effortlessly and the new potatoes in the stew were delicious. The outside of the duck was beautifully crispy and served with incredible garlic fried potatoes. And we had wine (yes, wine!) to accompany it. Overall it was a really nice way to spend the last of the time we had in Ho Chi Minh, a city we feel offers us a great promise for the rest of Vietnam.

The Great Recession had a major impact on the United States population.
From the dismal job market to climbing divorce rates, American culture was the victim of many problems from the economic downturn. Some even speculated that Americans may never get away from the recession's mighty grip.
But there are cities that have proven to be doing well. WalletHub released a list of the most recession-proof cities, based upon each location's economic growth. These cities have improved greatly in terms of economic opportunity, and they usually have a sound economic environment. They are straying away from the coldness of the recession, and have begun to show a brighter future for the United States.
Here are the top 15 cities listed by WalletHub:
1. Laredo, Texas
This southern Texas town headlined the WalletHub list, having the highest economic environment rank — which is based on the growth of jobs and decline of poverty in the city, according to the study.
2. Irving, Texas
Less than 500 miles away, Irving is having a similar economic boom as Laredo. Irving has the third highest employment and earning opportunity on the list, with its economic environment being ninth best in the nation, the study found.
3. Fayetteville, North Carolina
Home of Fort Bragg, one of the major U.S. Army camps, Fayetteville ranked third on WalletHub's list with its sixth highest employment rank and the 11th best overall economic environment.
4. Denver, Colorado
Denver has taken a new turn when it comes to gaining cash flow, and it seems to be working for the city, which had the highest amount of employment opportunities in the nation, with the 16th highest overall economic environment. Then again, what might be creating jobs in the city could be creating a homeless problem, too.
5. Dallas, Texas
Texas appears a significant amount on this list, and Dallas is a big part of the state's push for economic stability. Dallas' employment opportunity might be low with 56, but it has the second best overall economic environment for workers, according to the list.
6. Corpus Christi, Texas
This is more than just your typical college town. Home to a Texas A&M University campus, the city has the fifth highest employment opportunity in the nation, with the 22nd highest economic environment.
7. Minneapolis, Minnesota
With new successful businesses like The Nerdery and a budding population size, one of the twin cities is making waves across the nation with its high economic growth and second highest employment opportunity ranking.
8. Lubbock, Texas
Sure, Texas Tech University, the highlight of this city, is pulling in some tourists — but that's not the only thing the town boasts. Right now, a slew of youngsters are fleeing south to Lubbock with its high job market.
9. Garland, Texas
More Texas. Less than 400 miles away from Lubbock, Garland is a hot bed for new economic opportunities and jobs. Garland gains some success given it's a part of the Dallas sprawl.
10. Raleigh, North Carolina
WalletHub isn't the only one to rank Raleigh high on its chart. The city — with the fourth highest economic environment in the country — has also been acclaimed and championed by other rankings of the best, even being named the best place to live by Bloomberg Businessweek in the past.
11. Tulsa, Oklahoma
Yes, Tulsa has some violence problems. But the city is on the up-climb, according to the WalletHub survey. And it's recently been chosen as a city that's drawing in young adults, especially those looking to start their own businesses, from across the country.
12. Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky
Lexington is next on WalletHub's list, but there may be more than meets the eye for this city. Not only is the city commended regularly for its educational successes, but it's also been ranked by Bloomberg as one of the top 50 best places to live in the United States, coming in at 25.
13. Amarillo, Texas
Why is Amarillo so high on this list? Well, its economic situation seems in good standing. And that may be because people are happy. As we've heard before, companies with happier employees tend to do better. And with Amarillo being ranked as one of the top 10 happiest places in the country, economic success doesn't seem too out of the ordinary.
14. Aurora, ColoradoComment on this story
Aurora was devastated in 2012 when a gunman attacked moviegoers seeing a Batman flick. But since then, the city has risen and become one of the best locations in the country as far as economics go. It was ranked by NerdWallet as the best city for working women back in January, according to The Denver Business Journal.
15. New Orleans, Louisiana
The Louisiana city has come a long way since Hurricane Katrina flooded the area. But New Orleans is not only ranked high for singles — and for live music, entertainment and city life — but it was praised by Forbes for being a city that's attracted working-age people from across the country. Those combined factors lead to its seventh highest economic environment rank in the country.

We caught a glimpse of this device back at CES, but now a bit more information has been released regarding the MusicGremlin music player that instead of grabbing its tunes from your computer, it latches onto Wi-Fi (802.11b, no g, unfortunately) networks and gathers music from music services.
One such service is the "embedded music store" by Musicnet. Download, store and share your favourite songs right through the player. The built-in Wi-Fi manager will automatically scan for hotspots in the area, and connect to the one that's giving you the strongest signal.
Interestingly, you can also connect your MG-1000, as this player is now known, wirelessly to other MusicGremlin-enabled devices and share your music with all your friends.
You'll find 8 gigabytes of storage on board this not particularly flashy-looking player, but hey, the concept of integrating Wi-Fi connectivity and downloading into an MP3 player is pretty novel. No word on price or launch date just yet, so we'll just keep dreaming for now.

PSM_FM_BCS_CI_1: Revenues Increasing the Budget in BCS (Changed/New) ( RELNPSM_604_FM_BCS_RIB )SUBST_MERGE_LIST - merge external lists to one complete list with #if... logic for R3up ROGBILLS - Synchronize billing plans

Short text
PSM_FM_BCS_CI_1: Revenues Increasing the Budget in BCS (Changed/New)
As of SAP ECC 6.0, Public Sector Management, Enhancement Pack 4 (EA_PS 604), Business Function Budget Control System, there are several enhancements and new developments in the area of Revenues Increasing the Budget (RIB) for Budget Control System (BCS). These enhancements and developments are summarized in this release note.
- Support for RIB Rules Based on Revenue Cover Groups (New)
- You can now create revenue cover groups consisting of revenue budget addresses, which bundle revenue and revenue budget data for RIB rules. Revenue cover groups offer an alternative to existing RIB objects for defining the contributors to RIB rules.
- You must assign the role RIB source address to only one member of each revenue cover group. These specific budget addresses play a similar role in budget documents with Revenues Increasing the Budget as do RIB objects, being the source address of such documents.
See also the release note on
Cover Eligibility>.
- RIB Amount Calculation for RIB Rules Based on Revenue Cover Groups (New)
- During calculation of the transferable RIB amount from an RIB rule based on a revenue cover group, all revenue and revenue budget data posted to members of the revenue cover group is taken into account. This provides the total revenue values and total reference revenue budget values for further calculation.
- Support for RIB procedure: Call Procedure (New)
- Available revenue from RIB rules (transferable amounts) can now contribute to automatic cover groups, providing additional consumable budget to RIB rules with call procedure. This additional budget is automatically used by availability control to cover any over-consumption of commitment or actual postings by receiving members of the automatic cover groups.
- To avail of this, you must assign RIB rules with call procedure as contributors to automatic cover groups.
See also the release note on
Cover Eligibility>.
- Manual Maintenance of Single RIB Rule (Changed)
- This enhancement for revenue cover groups allows you to create, delete or modify an RIB rule based on a revenue cover group.
- The enhancement for call RIB allows you to choose the desired RIB procedure for the creation of a new RIB rule. If you choose distribution procedure, the definition remains the same as in the previous release. If you choose call procedure for a new RIB rule, you must then assign the RIB rule to an automatic cover group and the definition for using the surplus amount becomes unavailable. Note that you cannot assign an RIB rule with call procedure to more than one automatic cover group per availability control (AVC) ledger.
- Mass Generation of RIB Rules (Changed)
You can now generate RIB rules based on a revenue cover group other than RIB objects. In customizing activity
Maintain Derivation Strategy for Rule Generation,> the new source field revenue cover group is introduced to derive the attributes for a new RIB rule.
- You can also specify the procedure (distribution procedure or call procedure) to be used for a new RIB rule generated in mass generation. This is achieved in the same customizing activity, where the new RIB procedure and Automatic cover group target fields are introduced for assigning the chosen automatic cover group to the new RIB rule with call procedure. Note that you can only assign one automatic cover group. Note also that this assignment is not mandatory in mass generation - you can manually assign the desired automatic cover group later, either in single maintenance of the RIB rule (FMRBRULE) or in single maintenance of the automatic cover group (FMCERULE).
- Mass Copy of RIB Rules (Changed)
- You can copy RIB rules based on revenue cover groups along with RIB objects in a single mass run. Select RIB rules based on revenue cover groups by restricting the selection of the source data by name or by RIB source address of the revenue cover group.
- When you copy RIB rules based on revenue cover groups, the revenue cover group used to define the target RIB rule must already exist in the target before the copy run takes place. The new attribute 'RIB procedure' is also copied into the target RIB rule.
- When you copy RIB rules with call procedure, the assignment relationship to automatic cover groups is also copied. In this case, the automatic cover group to be assigned to the target RIB rule must already exist in the target before the copy run takes place.
- Mass Deletion of RIB Rules (Changed)
- You can now delete RIB rules based on revenue cover groups along with RIB objects in a single mass run. Select RIB rules based on revenue cover groups to be deleted by restricting the selection of revenue cover groups or the selection of RIB source addresses of revenue cover groups. When you delete RIB rules based on revenue cover groups, only the RIB rules defined for the revenue cover groups are deleted - the revenue cover groups themselves remain unaffected.
- You can delete RIB rules using distribution procedure and RIB rules using call procedure. When you delete RIB rules with call procedure, these RIB rules are automatically removed as contributors from the member lists of the automatic cover groups to which they were assigned.
- RIB Rule Change Documents (New)
- You can now activate a change log for RIB rules. Once activated, change documents are generated automatically for RIB rules when you create, change, or delete an RIB rule.
- The change documents for RIB rules can be displayed in a new report.
- You can delete unwanted RIB rule change documents in a mass run.
- Enhanced Creation of RIB Budget Documents (Changed)
- Transfers arising from the manual creation of RIB transfer documents in Budgeting Workbench are still possible for RIB rules defined with call procedures, as long as the receivers are explicitly listed as budget receivers in the definition of the RIB rule.
RIB transfer documents are also created for RIB rules with call procedure in the new transaction FMMPCEBAL to balance different budget needs for members of automatic cover groups. See also the release note on
Cover Eligibility>.
- For RIB mass distribution process (transaction FMMPRBB), RIB rules defined with call procedure are not allowed; they are automatically excluded from this function.
- Enhanced RIB Monitor for Overview of RIB Values (Changed)
- The RIB monitor (transaction FMRBMON01) has been enhanced to display RIB rules based on revenue cover groups. The nodes on the contributor side of an RIB rule consist of revenue budget addresses grouped together under the revenue cover group.
- Also, the RIB monitor has been enhanced to enable you to distinguish RIB rules defined with distribution procedure from RIB rules with call procedure by introducing an additional column for the attribute RIB procedure. For RIB rules defined with call procedure, the assigned automatic cover groups are also displayed as sub-nodes of the RIB rules. In addition, a new button is provided to allow you to navigate to the cover group monitor to check the AVC data for a selected automatic cover group.
- Budget memos with new template variables (Enhanced)
- New variables for the budget memo templates for use with RIB rules have been introduced to support RIB rules based on revenue cover groups and RIB rules with call procedure.
- Delta queue for uploading RIB data into the Business Information Warehouse (New)
- The new Data Source 0PU_IS_PS_45 has been created to upload application and master data from RIB rules into the Business Information Warehouse. This data is available in the standard Info Cubes 0PU_C02 and 0PU_C03. A new query is also available (0PSM_C02_Q0012), which serves as a template for your own queries. Note that certain key figures for this query require the upload and activation of separate Master Data into the Business Information Warehouse (Info Object 0PU_RIBCF 'RIB Calculation Formula').
- Remarks: To activate the new Business Content for RIB data
- SAP recommends replicating the Data Source 0PU_IS_PS_45 as 3.x Data Source. Create transfer rules to assign this Data Source to the new Info Source 0PU_FM_45. SAP already ships update rules which link the Info Source 0PU_FM_45 to the new ODS Object 0PU_O45 and which also link this ODS Object to the standard Info Cubes.
- If you use the Business Information Warehouse to report on availability control data with RIB call procedure, then you must activate the changed standard ODS Object for availability control data (0PU_O44) and reload your availability control data to the Business Information Warehouse. ODS Object 0PU_O44 has had to be adjusted in the standard delivery to properly support reporting on availability control data.

Razer recently released some League of Legends gears that promise to raise your MMO gameplay prowess, and do so in style.
First up is the LoL Collector's Edition Razer Naga Hex mouse, which is specifically designed for MOBA and action-RPG. The mouse features 6 large mechanical thumb buttons which players can use to map in-game functions like spells, items, and abilities. Fast paced action-RPG usually requires massive amount clicking, so the Naga Hex mouse has "specialized switches" that last up to 10 million clicks, and can accurately register 250 clicks per minute.
In total, the Razer Naga Hex mouse sports 11 programmable buttons, and a 5600dpi laser sensor to provide accurate tracking along a surface. The mouse has a 1ms response time, and weighs approximately 134g.
For extreme fans, Razer has also released the LoL Collector's Edition Razer Goliathus gaming mouse mat. Along with Razer's claim that the mat provides for a "seamless surface that trumps all other gaming cloth mats", Razer also promises that the mat is made of an "extra dense stitching" material along the edge that will guard against fraying and is guaranteed to last longer than conventional mats.
Lastly, Razer is also releasing the LoL Sphex hard gaming mouse mat, which will "adhere to any surface" and is thin enough to the point where gamers will feel as if they are playing on a "gaming grade surface that is the literal skin of the desktop."
The Naga Hex mouse currently retails for $89.99, the Goliathus gaming mat for $19.99, and the Sphex hard gaming mat is $14.99.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

I witnessed the movers of Big Boyz Break and item in my home. Although the movers said they had taken note of the breakage, they did not. It has been a year, and for such a small item big boyz could not respond nor resolve it in a timely manner. I am so saddened and fed up with Abuse from companies like this.
Only after sending a letter stating that the matter was going to Small Claims Court was there a check sent. But then it came past the filing date, and now it requires further action. How can a company be upset with a costumer when their actions were wrong. They never even appoligized, they make the incident out as if it were my fault. I trusted the company and I am the one who is now out compensation plus court costs.
Big Boyz stop the Abuse and act in Justice

Fighting Cancer By Changing Your Lifestyle
Cancer is easily one of the most terrifying words in the English language. The mere utterance of the word can strike fear in the hearts of people who are diagnosed with it or those who have loved ones suffering from the disease.
Rockaway resident, Bob Melli knew that fear when he lost both his father and wife to cancer within a year of one another. Melli's experience with cancer and the grief that it gave him, compelled him to leave the mortgage brokerage firm which he owned, to devote all his time to researching cancer and publish a book on his finding.
The book, Cancer, Cures, Causes and Prevention, published by Nature Publishing, Inc., is meant to be an easy to read guide for people who have cancer in their lives or for those who want to learn more about the disease.
Melli writes that he wanted to publish an easily understood book about cancer written for the cancer patient and the primary caregiver.
His first goal was to find a method that would detect cancer early on. He found that method in the form of a blood test, the AMAS test, which he wrote can detect cancers before they grow into tumors and can be detected by more conventional tests. "That discovery was one of many, that at times left me in tears," he writes. "There had been a method of detecting Camille's [his wife] cancer early enough to halt it."
Melli organizes his book in a coherent way by first explaining what cancer is and how it develops. He then writes about the history of cancer, a topic of which many people might not know.
He begins with Hippocrates, "the father of Western medicine," who was the first to use the term "carcinoma," to refer to malignant tumors. Melli also lists the various doctors of the 19th and 20th centuries, who all made discoveries in the prevention and treatment of cancer. Melli writes that the medical community often rejected these discoveries at first.
This theme of conventional medicine, plagued with corruption and greed, rejecting discoveries that may help, is one that runs throughout his book. He argues that the drug companies and the FDA make millions of dollars controlling the medical industry in the United States and would lose money if such discoveries would eventually lead to a cure. He states, "Medical care is based on politics, not science." However, one could argue that if discoveries leading to a cure were made in other countries, there would be no way to stop the flow of information from bringing those findings to regular people. In the latter part of the book, Melli delves into alternative care to treat cancer. During his research he writes that he discovered doctors are not adequately trained in nutrition.
This revelation caused Melli to research nutrition himself and throughout the latter chapters, Melli stresses the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle by eating properly and exercising. He stresses eating organic foods and cutting back on meat and dairy.
Melli devotes a chapter to societies that have a significantly smaller number of cases of cancers and other diseases than people in the United States. This chapter is interesting and a lot could be learned from those people.
Not everything Melli writes should be followed directly, since he is not trained properly in this field and he acknowledges that fact in the introduction. However, this book is a good starting point for people who want to know more about cancer and prevention.
Melli raises some good questions in his book that should lead us to ask our own questions about our healthcare.

Did you notice a burned area near Blackrock summit in Shenandoah National Park's South District? A small patch of black is now visible in the seemingly endless sea of green. This was not the result of a lightning strike or a careless camper. It was a fire set by park managers to help oak trees and table mountain pines thrive.
On May 7, 2008, conditions were right for fire managers to burn 282 acres. Fire crept on the ground, burst out in bushes, and torched entire pine trees. Flames cleared out brush and opened up sections of the canopy. This is especially good for the Appalachian native, table mountain pine. This pine has tightly closed cones that open after fire, releasing tiny seeds. Table mountain pine seeds need bare soil and sunlight to grow.
Months of planning went into preparing for the prescribed fire. These kinds of burns are set by trained personnel under certain conditions. Fuels cannot be too wet or too dry. Temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction are all important when deciding if a fire will be ignited. Firefighter and public safety is of the utmost importance.
The sun now shines through to the forest floor. Tiny oak and table mountain pine seedlings sprout from the ashes. The dark scar in the distance will slowly fade as new life begins.

ISP presents economic development analysis to WCEDA
By BEN GRAFTON
The June 6 meeting of the Walton County Economic Development Alliance Board (WCEDA) meeting opened with the presentation of the financial report by Board Member Laurie Kelley.
Following Kelley's report, Board Chair County Commissioner Kenneth Pridgen introduced Art Miller of the Institute of Senior Professionals (ISP), an organization of mostly retired professionals sponsored by Northwest Florida State College. ISP does pro bono consulting work for government and not-for-profit organizations in Okaloosa and Walton counties. Miller presented highlights from a report prepared for WCEDA to provide analysis and guidance for its economic development efforts in Walton County. Miller made these points:
The EDA strategic plan for economic development should be revised to include prioritized specific goals and activities. The goals and activities should be relevant and realistic, specific, measurable, achievable and time bound.
A SWOT Analysis which looks at Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats should also be prepared.
In neighboring counties both public and private sector funds support aggressive economic development policy. The annual budgets and staffs of their economic development offices are more than twice those in Walton County. Accountability should be established. Reports of the number of new permanent jobs produced and the return on investment for stakeholders (government and private sector) should be published.
Certified, shovel ready sites should be developed (Walton County is moving in this direction in a cooperative program with Gulf Power Company) and, while it is not WCEDA's role to manage the permitting process, it should encourage the county to streamline the building permit process which is said to be widely criticized.
Okaloosa and Bay County economic development leaders believe their websites are the most important vehicles they have to attract attention. Keeping the website fresh with information about the organization, development sites, the local workforce and reasons to locate to their county is critical. (WCEDA has an active program underway to upgrade its website.)
In addition to these points the report includes a list of 25 ideas and opportunities to stimulate economic development.
Following Miller's presentation Director Steve Jaeger said he thinks the ISP report comes at a good time and that he will review the recommendations and draw on them in preparing a strategic plan.
Jaeger continued by outlining his current plans to have introductory and exploratory meetings with local companies and business leaders. Included are planned sessions with the St. Joe Company, the Walton Area Chamber, Dr. David Goetsch and Florida's Great Northwest.
Jaeger also announced that WCEDA will pay its $2,750 share of the cost to work with Gulf Power to have Phase II of the Mossy Head Industrial Park certified as ready for industrial development.
Board Attorney Clay Atkinson informed the board that the Freeport industrial site purchase by Terhaar & Cronley is moving forward.
Board Member Freeport Mayor Mickey Marse informed the board that WCEDA's offer of $250,000 to purchase a new property for the Freeport Industrial Park was met by a counter offer of $325,000 by the bank. The board approved making a revised offer of $275,000 to the bank.
Because of the Independence Day holiday, the next regular meeting of the EDA Board was rescheduled for 12 p.m. on July 2.

Peru Tourist Visa Extension
Where to go to get a Peruvian Tourist Visa Extension:
Visa extensions can be completed in Lima, Cuzco, Iquitos, Puno, and Puerto Maldonado. Typical hours of operation are from 09:00 until 13:30, Monday through Friday. Note: Lines are usually shorter in the early morning, and it should not take you more than 2 hours to extend your visa.
Peruvian Immigration Office Locations
How much is a Tourist Visa Extension in Peru?
Tourists are allowed to receive visa extensions totaling three months. After this time the traveler must leave the country (to get an extension). This simply entails crossing the border and returning again (ask for the full 90 when you return). There is conflicting information whether 48-hours must pass before re-admittance.
One-month visa extensions cost US$20 per month, plus a fee of approximately 25 soles for processing. Extensions of the tourist visa can be purchased for up to three months. Extensions can be purchased on a monthly basis, or can be purchased all at once on your visit to the immigration office—depending on how nice the immigration is feeling at that particular moment.
Where do you go for a Tourist Visa Extension in Lima? What do you do?
Go to the immigration office and show your passport to enter the building. Pick up the Visa Extension form at the information desk on the first floor. Visa extensions are handled on the third floor. They will want a copy of your passport front page (w/signature), the page with your latest entry stamp, and the Andean Migration Card.
Go to the window that says "Prorrogas Residencia" and present your passport and tourist visa card. The official will give you a receipt for $20. At this time, you will need to go down to the first floor, make a copy of your visa and passport. You can then pay for the extension at the Banco de la Nacion, located down the corridor from the copy machine. There may be long lines for the bank. Fill out the form and return to the same teller on the third floor. Give the official your stamped receipt and your filled out form. After this you will be asked to wait for your passport and extended visa, which shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes.
Expired Tourist Visas in Peru
Expired visas are subject to a $20 fine upon departure or extension. Whether your visa is one day over due or 30 days over due, you will pay $20 all the same. It will cost another $20 to renew your expired visa, and you will only be given one month from the day that your visa expired, not from the day you pay the fine. When crossing borders on expired visas, be wary of officials over charging you (it should only be $20), but be aware that if you are planning on re-entering on the same border, you will be dealing with the same officials. In other words, the nicer you are the more likely they are to give you the maximum number of days upon re-entry.
Tourist Testimonials
In my experience at the Lima Immigration office, the best way to do it is fill in 3 visa extension forms when you get there, ideally at 8am to beat the crowds, then go to the bank and pay for ALL 3 forms BEFORE collecting the "phase 2" forms from upstairs. Then, after paying the 'formularios' go upstairs where you have the option of seeing one of two people, the lady on the left or the lady on the right of the lady on the left who both uniquely deal with tourist visa extensions. HOT TIP: Do NOT go to the lady on the left, she's a meany. Go to the lady on the right and show her your 3 forms and receipts. She is always very nice and has given me a 3 month extension on more than one occasion. If she questions you why you're filling in three forms and she says it's not allowed, just plead ignorance and say you thought it would be ok, but now that all three are paid, you'd appreciate being given 3 months worth of extensions and you promise to absolutely never do it again…
PS, In my 3 years, the same ladies occupy the same seats… I assume they haven't changed recently!
How I understand it, after your 90 day stamp is up, you can pay for an extension up to 2 times, each 30 days. They can give you a third extension for 30 days, but only in the extreme case if you are hospitalized, or in the process of receiving your real visa in case you´ve married a Peruvian. (Although, to illustrate what I said above, the immigration office in Puerto Maldonado had no such conditions for giving out the third extension)
Then you have to leave the country and reenter, and ask for 90 days. Officially you can be in the country as a tourist up to 180 days (6 months) of each year. In December when I went to Bolivia for a few days, to reenter, I asked him in my sweetest voice, fluttering my eyelids: "Me podria dar 90 dias?" and the immigration official looked at the various stamps and extensions through my passport 3 times and said: "But you haven't really left the country since April, you can only stay up til 180 days a year as a tourist", and I started to panic and think of some way to talk him into it, when my boyfriend came to the rescue and the official ended up giving in, even saying: "Only for you!"
In my experience it goes like this: when you come to Peru they will give you 30, 60 or 90 days visa (depending on a good mood of the officer), after that you can renew it for up to 90 days (but only 30 days at a time) that means that the maximum stay is 180 days. After the 180 days are up, you have to LEAVE the country for a MINIMUM of 48hours (or something like that, I am not sure- it is 36h if I recall correctly- HINT- the problems with the officers on the border is, that they really should not let people just go out of the country and come back in a matter of hours. But after 2 days you are legally entering Peru as it would be the first time. (There is no maximum 180 days per year rule… but there is the 2 days rule!)
Anyhow, since I am a little lazy regarding all this 180 days and visa extensions and traveling and stuff- so, my boyfriend I and found a loophole—a student visa! A foreigner studying Spanish in Peru can get a 1 year temporal visa, by studying in an official school- such as ICPNA. You don't even have to study- you just have to register for the classes in a school or an institute, recognized by the "Ministry of Education".
All you have to do is present some papers, pay the paperwork and you can get a 1-year visa (a temporary residency). It is cheaper than paying the extensions, leaving the country and all that stuff AND having a student visa gives you the right to ask for a special permit to sign contracts—which will finally let you ask for your carnet de extranjeria.
I've been here for over 3 years now on a tourist visa. However, I have made 3 or 4 trips to the US in that time, staying in the US for up to a month - hence avoiding the border crossing extensions. I've only made one trip to Chile, the rest of the time I stay as long as I want and then pay the $1 a day when flying out.
My problem this last trip was the US airline giving me a hard time because I didn't have a return flight from Peru.
Looking at the Student Visa more closely, it seems I would require a 1 year course as a minimum. A bit too much. Besides, looking at schools like El Sol, they don't offer such courses and the monthly cost is more than my monthly income!
…From what I read on www.digemin.gob.pe, a student visa can be issued for a period of up to 1 year, not a minimum of 1 year, so you could do say a 3-month course, which would give you time to sort out other paperwork.
I went to the Digimin office in Breña this morning to get my 30 day extension, willing putting myself through a day of potential suffering… out of morbid fascination… but in fact it wasn't so bad…
Arriving at about 11am I picked up my 1 page form from Information at the door, which took about a minute to fill out. They told me to go to window 5 or 6 on the third floor to get a ticket to take to the bank.
I went upstairs and had to wait about 5 minutes in a queue to see a woman in window 5, who gave me my ticket, told me what to photocopy and where to pay. The photocopy cost 40 cents and the queue for the bank took me about 15 minutes to get through. I paid $20 and S./26, was handed a receipt and went back to Window 5. The woman took my documents and told me to wait. I did, for about 10 minutes, and that was it, I had my stamp for 30 days.
I went down yesterday around 8am and got it all done in about 2.5 hours. It was more crowded than my last visit. The line for the bank was about 1 hour, and the final wait to get my passport returned with stamps was about 30 minutes. I actually find it hilarious to watch the vigilance as people try to cut in line at the bank. People around me get absolutely out of control while I stand and chuckle to myself. It's quite a show.
The same exact 2 women where there on the 3rd floor that were there back in July when I did this. I got the same woman in Line 6. She told me the same thing, only 30 days. You have to insist you will be traveling to the jungle and won't be near an immigrations office. She did finally grant me 90 days. After that she sweetened up and was actually really nice to me. I heard many tourists not even arguing with her and accepting the 30 days.
Today I attended the immigration office in Lima to get an extension of 30 days. The whole process is extremely slow . I confirmed 2 things firstly you can only renew 3 times ie 90 days and secondly the rate for overstaying the expiration is $1 per day.

I can tell you why it´s taking you two hours and more to get another 30-day stamp: you´re in Lima. Consider saving yourself the trip if you´re not in Lima already, and go to a provincial jefetura. I went to the immigration office on Larco in Trujillo this morning and didn´t have to wait even a minute in line or at the bank.

I'm an American citizen in the beginning stages of getting my carnet de extranjeria (CE). Only problem is my tourist visa expired June 30. I'm aware that you have to pay $1 for every day that you overstay your visa. So I thought that I could just pay that amount here at immigrations and I could begin the paperwork for my CE. When I went to immigrations, however, the woman told me that I needed a valid tourist visa in order to even begin any paperwork. And, according to her, the only way to get this would be to leave the country and get a new stamp. Has anyone ever been in this type of situation, and if so, do you know if there are any alternatives to leaving the country? That can't be the only way. Thanks for any suggestions.

Jordan votes, but main Islamist party boycotts poll
By Suleiman Al-Khalidi
AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordanians voted in their first parliamentary election since the Arab uprisings on Wednesday without the participation of the main Islamist party which is demanding an end to official corruption and a louder voice for the urban poor.
The Muslim Brotherhood says the electoral system is rigged to sideline large towns and cities where it is strongest in favour of rural tribal areas where conservative, pro-government political forces are entrenched.
Turnout was 56.5 percent by around 1700 GMT, when polls closed after voting had been extended for an extra hour, officials said, but Islamists accused the authorities of trying to inflate a low turnout to disguise the impact of their boycott. Official results were expected on Thursday.
The Brotherhood's absence has reduced the election to a contest between tribal leaders, establishment figures and businessmen, with just a few of the 1,500 candidates running for recognized parties. Allegations of vote buying are rife.
Jordan, a U.S.-backed monarchy, has seen large protests against corruption that were critical of King Abdullah, though not on the scale of those that toppled rulers in Egypt and Tunisia and led to civil wars in Libya and Syria.
"God willing, these elections will produce a good parliament that will consider the needs of the citizens. We hope this parliament will be better than the previous one," said Iskandar Nuqul, a voter in Amman's first electoral district.
The king remains for many citizens the ultimate guarantor of stability in Jordan, whose neighbors include Israel, civil-war torn Syria, and an Iraq also riven by sectarian strife.
The political elite is wary of the Arab revolts and the rise of Islamists, especially the Muslim Brotherhood, Jordan's most popular party, with its demand for deep political reform. Continued...

Sarkozy ally wins French right leadership battle
By Catherine Bremer and Sophie Louet
PARIS (Reuters) - Rightist Jean-Francois Cope, an ally of former President Nicolas Sarkozy, claimed the leadership of France's main conservative party on Monday in a closely fought two-way contest marred by mutual accusations of voter fraud.
Cope, already the incumbent leader of the UMP party, beat centrist former prime minister Francois Fillon by 50.03 percent to 49.97 percent, the head of an internal voting commission said - a margin of just 98 votes out of almost 175,000 cast.
The victory could pave the way for Cope, whose controversial campaign included accusations that "anti-white" racism was rife in France, either to run for president himself in 2017 or stand aside for Sarkozy if his mentor chooses to re-enter politics.
"My hands and my arms are wide open," Cope told supporters at party headquarters in Paris after the result was announced.
"It is in that state of mind that I telephoned Francois Fillon this evening, it is in that state of mind that I asked him to join me."
Fillon, speaking at his campaign headquarters shortly after Cope's victory speech, denounced ballot booth irregularities and warned of a deepening split in the center-right group.
"What strikes me is the rift at the heart of our political camp, a political and moral fracture," Fillon said in a brief speech, adding that he had chosen not to dispute the result.
The race descended into chaos earlier as both contenders alleged fraud in a vote that highlighted a deep split between rightists and centrists since the party lost power in May. Continued...

"We were truly blessed to have such an amazing wedding planner like anette. With only five months to plan our wedding, anette was great! She really helped my family make our wedding day spectacular. She helped us plan our engagement party, and helped my mom and mother inlaw with my bridal shower. She Knew exactly what we wanted and made sure that's what we had. She is a wonderful person, I felt like I had my best friend planning my wedding. She was always updating us on the vendors, the day of our wedding she took on everything herself. If something went wrong that day, you can be sure you will never know it happened. We recommend anette to anyone who is planning an event. Thank you anette for making our wedding day so memorable!!!"
