10 Years Later
Time where has it gone?
That is the question that as you get older you start to realize how time passes us by it feels like every time we blink a year has gone by.
This feeling develops and starts becoming worse as if time itself is closing in all around you.
I sit here wondering what happened and where the last 10 years have evaparated in the palm of my hands it's not like I have any regrets I have witnessed my son growing and turning into a strong, caring man.
I am still with my wife Emora that means the world to me and she knows deep in her soul that my body and soul is hers for the taking and is ready to do whatever she commands of me.
I wonder what today will bring and whether it is true that what was predicted 20 years ago about my only child is true. Today is an important and also life changing day for my son as he will finally discover whether he is dragon born and with this news he will know what his purpose is in life.
Will we finally be set free from the chains that bind us all so tightly that it feels like everyday becomes harder and more difficult for us to breathe.
Madness, chaos, killings.
That is all that will be left when the people of this town feel like they can't breathe anymore and everyone will turn on each other to fight for their own survival in a world where no one will be safe ever again.
Valer stopped.
What had become of him writing such madness in his diary if anyone witnessed these words they would lock him away from his family for insanity for sure.
He decided to make a quick note to make sure that the words contained in pure black writing would never be seen through another human beings eyes.
Valer thought to himself I feel sick inside as I never keep secrets from my family but this I would have to take willingly to my grave if Emora or Ryan read these words inscribed in the diary then it would bring them a lifetime of despair.
Valer closed the leather bind book and hid it away under his pillow as he knew it would be the only place that his wife and son would least expect to look.
Just in time. As Valer finished laying the book under his pillow and placed the soft, fluffy, caring pillow back over the book Ryan walked into the room.
Ryan" Hello farther how are you today?"
Valer" Hello son I am very well and how are you today?"
Ryan" I am good but I am nervous about later on today"
Valer" I know that you will do yourself proud and I believe that you are the savior"
Ryan" Thanks but what if I mess up and I am not everyone's savior what do I do then?"
Valer" Hey I think you are and even if you aren't just be honest with everyone"
Ryan" But what happens if everyone hates me because of it"
Valer" No one will hate you for trying you best"
Ryan" I guess you have a point I just want to save everyone"
Valer" You always have you and Kate are so alike"
Ryan" Yeah me and my girlfriend are you have a point there"
Valer" True just remember to try your best now you better go and get ready"
Ryan" Your right i have to go soon and Kate will be annoyed at me if I am not ready on time"
Valer" She will and so will your mother"
Ryan" Good point thanks for the advise see you later"
Valer" Your welcome now go and make me proud my son"
Ryan" I am on it "
With that Ryan left to get ready for his meeting with the Greybeards as they are an ancient and honored order that live in the highest mountain peek in Skyrim. The Mountain is called the Throat of the World and only if you are believed to be dragon born will you ever be worthy enough to enter their sanctuary.
Valer prayed to the god he believed in which was Mara as she was the goddess of love he grabbed the chain that was rapped around his neck so he could hold the amulet of Mara in his hand.
He sent her a prey "Mara my goddess that I worship please send your love and wisdom to my son while he is on his journey to discover if he is truly the dragon born thank you for listening"
Now all he and his wife could do was sit together at home and wait for the events to unfold.

Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
Cliffs Notes version: The SKF X-Tracker style front wheel bearing / hub assembly for the STS-V (part number 930537) will fit on the CTS-V, and is probably a good upgrade for those who track their cars.
Full story: Last year a guy on another automotive forum I frequent PM'd me about a upgraded front wheel bearing assembly. Apparently, SKF had a new design on display at SEMA in a 6-lug variant, so this guy had contacted SKF to find out what the story was. Their response was...Originally Posted by SKF email
At the time, I had just replaced both front hubs with Timken units, so I filed the above information away for future reference. A couple months ago, during a pre-track day tech inspection, the tech at Lindsay told me I had a just a little bit of play in the passenger front bearing, so I went looking for the SKF hubs.
I was under the impression that the STS-V and CTS-V used the same knuckles/hubs/brakes, but when I looked up the part numbers through gmpartsdirect.com and rockauto.com, they showed different numbers. I don't have the OEM part numbers handy, but the SKF part numbers were quite confusing. They showed the CTS and STS used the same bearings (930298 front and 930081 rear), which would seem to confirm my initial impression (that the parts were compatible). Both of those parts were shown to have a "flange offset" of 1.66".
Confusion started to set in as I looked at some of the other STS/STS-V part numbers. First, there were 2 different rear 6-lug parts listed, one for the STS-V (930539) and one for a non-V (930458). A 6-lug non-V? The non-V part had that same 1.66" flange offset, but the V hub assembly showed a 2.67" offset. Hmmm, that doesn't make sense… Double .
When I looked at the CTS-V part numbers, I saw (as expected) the same 1.66" flange offset for front and rear (930313 and 930368, respectively). But the front STS-V bearing (930537) was listed with that same weird 2.67" flange offset. All of the pictures of the bearings looked essentially the same, so I couldn't see where that extra 1" of flange offset was supposed to be.
In the end, I decided to just go ahead and order the X-Tracker bearings for the front of the STS-V (930537) from rockauto.com. I figured if there really was a 1" difference in any of the dimensions, it would be readily apparent, and I would just return them if they weren't right for the CTS-V. As you've probably already surmised, in the end the X-Tracker hubs fit on the CTS-V just fine. I think I might have a picture at home of the SKF X-Tracker STS-V hub assembly sitting next to the Timken CTS-V hub assembly just to show that the dimensions are the same. I just sent an email to SKF through their "Contact Us" page asking what the "flange offset" measurement is supposed to be, and to clarify whether the 2.67" vs. 1.66" thing is a mistake in their catalog. We'll see if I get any response.
I don't have any data to show that these bearings are better than the non-X-Tracker assemblies. However, the 5-lug variant is apparently the hot ticket for the Vette guys that open track or race on sticky tires. I also don't know if the rear X-Tracker bearings (930539) will work on the CTS-V, but I'm pretty sure they would.
One final note – How do you know whether a bearing assembly is an X-Tracker, say if you're shopping for another vehicle? Well, I don't know. When I was researching these parts just a couple of months ago, when you called up the "Attributes" for each bearing, below the dimensions it also listed "X-Tracker: Y or N". Now that's gone. I don't know why that line is no longer there. Perhaps they're transitioning all of their bearings to the X-Tracker design, so they no longer need to differentiate them?

Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
How timely your post. I was just thinking about wheel bearings. Having a hard time doing a part number search on rockauto.com for 930537. Can't seem to locate it. Have a link?
Never mind it's BR930537
Great find BTW
Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
Yeah, BR930537.

Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
If I may think out loud here: isn't pad knock back SIGNIFICANTLY less of an issue for fixed caliper applications? If the rotor pushed the 2 outer pistons back, the inner ones would move toward the rotor, just to equalize the pressure, and no fluid would actually be moved out of the caliper, unlike a floating caliper. Well, technically, if the rotor is at an angle (it would be if the bearing deflected) then the pads would spread just a touch more than if it moved 100% laterally (remember geometry?). But I suspect this is much, much less of a concern in our applications.
Still, it's nice to know there's an upgraded, even OEM, bearing available.
Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
FYI, there was some STS performance package that had 6-lug wheels and the Brembo brakes, but was not a V. I assume it was a way to use up parts or something.

Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
Cliff notes version of the PDF Pat linked from Pioneer Tire and Wheel
The X-Tracker® hub is a unique, high performing hub bearing assembly manufactured exclusively by SKF. It was developed for the OE market to deliver precision performance and handling requirements of high performing sports cars and light trucks. Some key points to remember on X-Tracker® hub units by SKF:
• Asymmetrical design increases the bearing's stiffness and capacity by over 50%
• Allows wheel to run truer during cornering and acceleration
• Reduces deflection (flexing) of the hub face providing better braking and handling
• Minimizes rotor run out and pedal pulsation
• Improves NVH (noise/vibration/harshness) characteristics
• Up to 40% more bearing life in the same size package
Strength and bearing life (if all of it is true) makes this a smart buy.

So does that mean our factory wheel bearings aren't anything special? Are they SKF? I thought I read that somewhere...

Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
I wonder if this is the same upgrade SKF hub for C5/C6 except for the different number of studs. If so, this is also an opportunity to convert to 5-lug configuration.
Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
The 04-07 hub units are not SKF hub trackers, some of the STSV's were. More to come.
Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
I mentioned this thread to Luke (Lindsay) and he ordered an STS-V Bearing to compare to a CTS-V bearing.
Here is what Luke said:Looked at a STS-V hub today and the only noticeable difference I see is that the plate where the studs are is slightly beveled which makes it a little thicker. Overall height seems to be the same (again with the naked eye). The center of the STS-V hub is open and splined because it is the same hub they use on the all wheel drive STS. I don't see that that would be an issue though.
If so, his price seems good at <$300 each.
AAIIIC- Many thanks for this info.
Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
They are splined, as Luke said. I could've sworn I took some pics of the SKF hub assembly side-by-side with the Timken assembly or one of the stock assemblies, just to show they were the same dimensions, but I don't know where I saved those pics.
Re: Upgraded front wheel bearings - SKF X-Tracker
States SKF began supplying the X-Tracker for the 2006 model year STS-V, and that they are being made specifically at their Italian plant. What does the "made in...." label say on your hubs, AAIIIC?

Diamondback Haanjo Complete Bike 2015
Not everyone is a budding racer. Some folks just want a solid, lightweight bike to get around town and take for the occasional pleasure cruise. Diamondback realizes this, and they've come out with what may be the ultimate pleasure cruiser The Haanjo. What makes the Haanjo so cool is its unique blend of lightweight frame, comfortable seating position, huge stopping power, and advanced 10 speed drivetrain. We didn't even mention the price, and that may be the Haanjo's best component. The Haanjo starts with Diamondback's Endurance aluminum frame, which has been revised slightly with a flattened top tube and disc brake tabs. Accordingly, Diamondback added disc brakes for serious stopping power. The fork is Diamondback's alloy disc fork, and it's joined to the frame with a stiff tapered head tube. The Haanjo also has a comfortable, upright seating position that makes it a pleasure to ride. Finally, Diamondback added Shimano's trusty 10 speed Sora drivetrain so you can tackle the toughest hills between here and work, either up or down.

Although Catholicism was officially forbidden throughout the United Provinces, Utrecht tolerated private Catholic worship. This encouraged the introduction of new subject matter in a way which was only possible in the political and religious climate of 17th-century Utrecht. A particularly fine example of the Utrecht Caravaggisti style is Gerard van Honthorst's Saint Sebastian (detail above), painted in about 1623; such a strongly Catholic choice of subject might not have been painted elsewhere in the Netherlands.
The Twelve Year Truce, signed by parties from Catholic Spain and Protestant Netherlands in 1609, heralded the Dutch Golden Age, a period of economic prosperity and intellectual and artistic achievement. The Dutch Republic was a decentralised conglomeration of states, and this allowed each city to develop independent mercantile interests and a flourishing and individual artistic life.
From the formation of a painters' guild in 1611 to the city's loss of independence in 1674, Utrecht saw an extraordinary flowering of the arts. This exhibition looks at this phenomenon, an area of art history which has been sorely neglected.

Antler Liquor Store General Store and Motel is located at the corner of State Highway 69 South and State Highway 96, in Westcliffe Colorado. We have a no frills motel 4 blocks from downtown Westcliffe. If you plan on spending at great deal of time inside your room, we offer Satellite (DISH) Television on 32 inch flat screen monitors. We offer FREE Internet WiFi, so you can upload all of the great pictures you will take to your Facebook page.
There are no phones in the rooms. Most people use their own cell phones now days, so that usually isn't an issue. AT&T is the prominent carrier in Town but, go a couple blocks in any direction and your Verizon Phone will work. You will have to go as far as the other side of the mountain ranges for T Mobile or Sprint phones to work. Prepaid Phones rarely work here but, sometimes do work unreliably. Ring Central Click Here For Info is a Voice Over IP (Using the Internet to Complete a Phone Call) you can download the app on your cell phone or Tablet, and there is a free 30 day trial with this App so hopefully it won't cost you. It was recommended to me by some folks staying in the Motel.
We also offer Kuerig Coffee Makers in our rooms because a good cup of coffee is an important way to begin your day. If there is a particular flavor you like please bring some, or it can be purchased from our local grocery store. Don't worry, I will not be offended. We do not offer continental breakfast because I do not believe a stale bowl of cereal or 3 day old bagels and a greasy waffles constitutes a breakfast. For you continental breakfast lovers out there, nothing personal. In Westcliffe, we have several breakfast cafes that are run by great people that would love to see you and serve you a breakfast you deserve. Or there are several Bed and Breakfasts around that are also run by great people and only cost approximately 50% more per night.
Our rates are $64.99 nightly. Rooms have either a Double Bed and a Twin, or a Queen sized bed. Some rooms have a bathroom with a tub and showerhead and some just have corner showers. So, if a long lounge in a hot bathtub after a long days hike is what you require, keep this in mind. $64.99 a night may seem a little pricey but rest assured if you check my fellow: Inns, B&B's and Cabins, our rates will be the lowest.
Pets..... I have one room that I will allow pets in. I know your animal is great and nice and well trained and all but, the reality on my end is totally different. What I do when I travel is use our local animal clinic to board my dog. High Peaks Animal Hospital Click Here For Info is a wonderful facility with highly trained staff members to give your canine, feline etc. the exceptional service they require. They would be more than happy to assist you with all your pet boarding needs. Also, a pet deposit will be charged $50.00 if you choose to stay in the Puppy Suite.
I also have available on the premises a Liquor Store as well as a General Store. Just like a good cup of coffee is needed to begin the day, some prefer a nice night cap to end the day. We offer a fully stocked Wine & Spirits selection with a cornucopia of Beers in our Beer Cave. While here in Westcliffe, I urge you to try one of our fine Colorado Microbrews to help keep our sales tax revenues within the State of Colorado. The General Store offers a large selection of chips and candy as well as other goodies. Though, we do not offer the continental breakfast, you can make arrangements with our staff to have your favorite beverage to be waiting for you on ice, in your room upon your check in.
If you plan on some fishing, we offer all the bait and tackle you will need to get your fish on. We also sell Fishing and Hunting Licenses on a cash only basis. If you need an ATM, there is a Wells Fargo ATM at the Westcliffe Market Grocery Store.
Also, next door is Peaks Gym. If a workout is what you need while you are here in Westcliffe, Let the clerk know that you would like to work out while you are here and you will be set up with our local trainer Jerry Heisig. He will be able to assist you with all your exercising needs while staying at Antler. He also has a Facebook page where you may communicate directly with him at
If you have any questions about the Motel, don't hesitate to call 719-783-2426. If you need to know how the weather is, don't call us, Click Here For Weather Conditions , because unfortunately, I do not employ any Meteorologists.
If you would like the fishing report, don't call us, check this site Click Here For Lake DeWeese Fishing Report . Just like any other fisherman, I am hard to get specifics from. Where I would go? Lake DeWeese Click Here For Lake DeWeese Map Location . What I would use? Nightcrawlers or Power Bait or Salmon Eggs, the trifecta of professional fisherman everywhere. What beer I would drink during fishing? Any Colorado Microbrew.
What's going on in Town or the County? http://visitcustercounty.com/ is our premier location to find all about what is and what is not going on. I encourage you to visit when nothing is going on because sometimes having nothing to do, can be a good thing.
So, in a nutshell if you have a question that we can answer we will try. We look forward to having you, and we hope you have a nice day!

Heart transplant
About Heart transplant
A heart transplant removes a damaged or diseased heart and replaces it with a healthy one. The healthy heart comes from a donor who has died. It is the last resort for people with heart failure when all other treatments have failed. The heart failure might have been caused by coronary heart disease, damaged heart valves or heart muscles, congenital heart defects, or viral infections of the heart.
Although heart transplant surgery is a life-saving measure, it has many risks. Careful monitoring, treatment, and regular medical care can prevent or help manage some of these risks.
After the surgery, most heart transplant patients can return to their normal levels of activity. However, fewer than 30 percent return to work for many different reasons.

Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his house and find collection of VHS tapes. Inside the darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static-white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil. Viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be dark motives behind the student's disappearance.

A day trip to Ross River
Today Limtech and Delcom awoke to sunshine and it augurs well for all.
So they are off to visit Ross River, some 85 kms north east of Alice Springs.
They packed a sandwich lunch and Max is revved up to go.
Their first stop is at Emily Gap.
The rock formation was exquisite there in the East MacDonnell …
Some new friends
Limtech and Delcom woke up to another rainy day.
They were waiting to be moved to a new a site in the caravan park.
However, it was past midday and they have not yet been moved.
This delay has somewhat hampered their movements for the day in relation to sight seeing.
In the meantime they made friends with Trevor and …

"Grey's Anatomy" fans - awesome news!
Shonda Rhimes will continue writing Grey's Anatomy scripts until there's only one viewer left -- her.
In a new interview teasing the upcoming season, which is number 11, the show's creator was asked how much longer it could stay on ABC. Shonda replied (quote) "Grey's is still the number-one drama on television for anybody under the age of 50. Right now, as long as I am still interested in what happens next, I'm not thinking about the end."
Fewer than two-dozen TV programs extended beyond 12 seasons. Grey's could be the show that never dies -- like a daytime soap.

Hello and welcome to the September Immigration newsletter.
As September is drawing to a close, we take a moment to remember the tragedy that was inflicted on this country and all of humanity on September 11, 2001. We also pause to remember the men, women and children who died on that fateful day and the brave men and women who have died for our country on the battlefield in the war on terror. Somber ceremonies and memorial services were held across the nation and in other parts of the world as well, as people revisited those dark moments, attempting to erase the pain and appreciate the sacrifices made, and challenges overcome in the war against terror across the world.
In other news, the state of economy continues to dominate the headlines. President Obama most recently revealed the "American Jobs Act", urging lawmakers in Congress to pass it 'right away'. The measures in the bill, which President Obama claim could create 1.9 million jobs, include tax credits for employers who hire more workers, funding to prevent additional layoffs of teachers, and more money for infrastructure and school construction projects. With opinions on the bill appearing divided (as usual) and with the Presidential elections a little over one year away, it would not be unreasonable to imagine that the administration may have to overcome some stiff opposition in Congress for the bill to pass in its current state.
In the field of immigration, one of the most notable developments this September was USCIS' announcement that Form I-924, Application for Regional Center Under the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program applicants will now be able to communicate directly with USCIS adjudicators via e-mail to quickly resolve issues and questions that arise during the adjudication process. USCIS indicated that implementation of enhancements to the EB-5 program, which is designed to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors, is a high priority. Considering the ease with which information can be communicated through emails, it is a very welcome move and could considerably speed-up the adjudication of EB-5 Regional Center applications. Hopefully, successful implementation of the e-mail component may encourage USCIS to expand it to other adjudication categories across the board.
In an another important development, a federal court in Alabama issued an order temporarily delaying the effective date of Alabama's controversial immigration law, HB 56, which was to take effect on September 1, 2011, observing that there was not enough time to address all the legal arguments from various parties over the law's constitutionality. It is reported that under the provisions of this controversial law, law enforcement officers have to check the citizenship status of any person they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. The law makes it a crime to knowingly provide transportation for or harbor an illegal immigrant, and people are forbidden from renting illegal immigrants' property or knowingly employing them. Employers have to check a suspected illegal immigrants' status through the federal E-Verify system and Public schools have to report suspected illegal immigrants to state authorities. The injunction will remain in effect until September 29, 2011, or until the court enters its ruling whichever is first, and therefore, a clearer picture on the legality of the enactment could emerge by the month-end.
In some other immigration news:
The Office of Foreign labor Certification (OFLC) issued Questions and Answers regarding the extensive and prohibitive delays in Issuing Prevailing Wage Determinations (PWD) and H-1B Labor Condition Applications (LCA). The OFLC reminded employers that they can obtain a prevailing wage on their own without the assistance of the NPWC. The OFLC observed that that DOL�s regulations provide the employer with alternative sources for obtaining a prevailing wage in support of an H-1B application. OFLC mentioned that as long as the employer provides a prevailing wage in support of its H-1B application, whether through obtaining a PWD from the NPWC or through the other listed sources, there should not be any adverse consequences to the foreign worker on whose behalf the H-1B application was filed. OFLC however cautioned that if the H-1B employer selects an incorrect prevailing wage, then the employer is responsible for that wage attestation in the event of an investigation or enforcement action.
The Department of Homeland Security published a Business Transformation Regulation intended to promote the migration of USCIS filings from a paper-based environment to an electronic one, revising more than 50 parts of DHS regulations. The new regulations will become effective on Nov. 28, 2011.
USCIS issued a Policy Memorandum providing guidance regarding amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act that extend the ability to self-petition to battered or abused parents of U.S. citizens. USCIS observed that an abused parent, stepparent, or adoptive parent of a U.S. citizen is eligible to apply for VAWA (Violence Against Women Act of 1994) relief provided that the self-petitioner is a �parent�, as defined in the Act and has or had a qualifying relationship to a U.S. citizen son or daughter. Additionally, the qualifying relationship must have been in existence at the time of the abuse and at the time of filing.
Meanwhile, the H-1B cap count continues to move forward and has almost reached its half-way mark. As of September 9, 2011, USCIS has received 32,200 regular cap eligible cases out of 65,000, and 16,700 master's cap cases out of 20,000. With the number of H-1B applications filed seeming to accelerate towards the cap limit, employers who intend to employ foreign workers should not assume anything or leave things to the last moment. Make sure to contact VisaPro to discuss all options as soon as a position is offered.
Other Developments in Immigration Law
USCIS issues Policy Memoranda on Changes of Status to B-2 and Extensions of B-2 Status for Cohabitating Partners and other Nonimmigrant Household Members
USCIS has recently issued a Policy Memoranda on Changes to B-2 Status, and Extensions of B-2 Status, for Cohabitating Partners and Other Nonimmigrant Household Members, clarifying that a cohabitating family member�s relationship to the nonimmigrant principal alien in another status will be considered a favorable factor in allowing them to obtain or remain eligible for B-2 classification, and that a change to and/or one or more extensions of B-2 classification is appropriate in the exercise of discretion for household members of a principal nonimmigrant visa holder, when other eligibility requirements are met. This policy memo seeks to bring USCIS into line with Department of State policy regarding the issuance of B-2 visa for cohabiting family members. It is important to remind our readers that cohabiting partners, regardless of their marital relationship, may also avail themselves of B-2 status or the visa.
USCIS publishes Final Rule establishing Transitional Worker Classification for workers in CNMI
USCIS has recently published a final rule that establishes a Transitional Worker (CW) classification for workers in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The CW classification allows employers in the CNMI to hire nonimmigrant workers who are otherwise ineligible to work. A limited number of CW visas are available each fiscal year and the numerical limitation for FY 2011 is 22,417 and for FY 2012 will be 22,416. The final rule also provides for the grant of derivative CW status to spouses and minor children of CW workers.

I am a citizen of Romania and my husband is a U.S. citizen. I came to the U.S. on a K-1 visa last month and we got married in the U.S. last week. Does my K-1 status automatically change to permanent resident status after my marriage, or do I have to file any additional paperwork? Also, can I start working in the U.S. now?

I am an Australian national and I am looking to set up a company in the U.S. Will I be eligible to apply for an E-2 visa? Can my wife and 8 year old son, both of whom are citizens of China, accompany me to stay in the U.S. as my dependents? Will my son be able to attend school in the U.S.?
For the purposes of the E-2 visa, Australia is a treaty country. Provided your investment satisfies all the requirements of the E-2 visa regulations, as a citizen of Australia, you may be eligible for an E-2 visa. As far as your wife and son are concerned, their nationality need not be the same as yours and they should be able to accompany you as your dependent as long as they are otherwise eligible for a visa. They will be granted the same period of stay as you. Also, while your son may attend a school in U.S., your wife could also apply for a work authorization and be employed in the U.S. once she receives the appropriate employment authorization.

U.S. Consulate in Mumbai resumes H and L visa Processing
The U.S. Consulate in Mumbai has announced the resumption of interviews in Mumbai for H and L visas. The Consulate announced that it would open the appointment schedule on August 26, 2011, and the first interview appointments were available on September 6, 2011.

I am an Irish dancer and a UK Citizen. I wish to perform for an Irish dance company in the U.S. Please let me know how I can get a P-3 visa, so that I could come to the U.S. to perform.
The P-3 visa is available to foreign nationals coming temporarily to the U.S. to perform, teach, or coach as artists or entertainers, individually or as part of a group, under a commercial or non-commercial program, that is culturally unique. Irish dance is culturally unique and it is traditional. To apply for a P-3 Visa, the company that is running the dance show must file Form I-129, Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker with USCIS, to classify you as a culturally unique performer, performing as a part of an entertainment group tour that is going to be giving culturally unique or traditional performances and that they are going to tour for certain period of time. You cannot file the petition yourself-- it has to be done by the company. If the USCIS approves the petition, it will issue an approval notice. You will then have to apply for a P-3 visa stamp in your passport by making an appointment for interview at the American Embassy in London. If you are successful in your interview, the American Embassy in London will stamp a P-3 visa in your passport and once you get the P-3 visa, you can come to the U.S. and perform.
I am a U.S. Citizen and my fianc�e is a national of Chile. I am residing in the U.S. and she is currently in Chile and has never been to the U.S. before. We have known each other for about 5 years now and we recently got engaged in a ceremony in Chile. We want to now get married in the U.S. Please let us know what we could do for her to come to the U.S. so we can get married in the U.S.
If you intend to get married in the U.S., she could apply for a K-1 fianc�e visa with which she could travel to the U.S. and marry you in the U.S. To apply for a K-1 visa, you, as a U.S. Citizen, must file a K-1 visa petition with the USCIS. Once the petition is approved, you will get an approval notice in the mail stating that the petition has been forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC). It will be processed at the NVC, and then sent to the American Embassy in Chile. Your fianc�e will then be given forms to fill out and instructions on the medical examination that needs to be done, and a list of documents she would need to submit. An interview will be scheduled where she will need to bring all the requested documents. If all goes well at the personal interview, they will issue her a K-1 visa stamp in her passport. The K-1 visa will be single entry visa, valid for 6 months from the time it is issued. When she lands in the U.S. with it and presents it, she will be admitted into the U.S. for a period of 90 days. Once in the U.S. on the K-1 visa, she has to marry you and file for Adjustment of Status within that 90 day period, so that she can stay in the U.S. while her Green Card case is being processed. If she does not marry you and file the papers within 90 days, she must to go back to Chile.

Controversial TV host Chris Evans has been caught up in yet another awkward situation after quitting Top Gear.
This time, the fallen heir to the Top Gear throne was caught having a cheeky wee in the bushes at the side of the M4 motorway, while swigging from what appeared to be a bottle of brandy at 4pm.
In a statement to The Mirror, Evans laughed off the incident, saying his bladder wasn't as 'robust as it once was' and apologising for any offence he may have caused.
He said:
Myself and several colleagues and friends had finished lunch in London and were travelling back to Berkshire in a private hire people carrier.
For one reason or another, a journey that usually takes forty five minutes to an hour took almost twice that. My bladder not being as robust as it once was could no longer take the strain and I had to go.
I apologise profusely if have caused anyone any offence and take full responsibility for the matter.
Thankfully, Chris wasn't driving at the time. Instead, he was being driven in a black Mercedes which stopped on the hard shoulder to let Chris relieve himself.
One witness who saw the star pissing said Evans looked like he was in very high spirits.
Piss-gate is another embarrassing incident for Evans, who's been caught up in scandal after scandal following his decision to host the rebooted Top Gear, including a historic sex accusation.

Build In Post Scheduling
& Role Controls To The Rescue!
Facebook Breaking News!
Hey, Kim here…
Facebook just released scheduled and automated posts and administrative role controls!
Both of these features may not sound like much but I assure you they are ground breaking and add some functionality that was really impacting results.
Simple example? Now you can hire an outsourcer to help with your page and they can pre-set you up with a month's worth of content in advance, that isn't penalized by EdgeRank (as far as we know)… and, because you can control their access… they can't delete your freakin page like some have done to businesses before!
I read a good report this morning on some of the applications of this in Peter Maxwell's Timeline Explosion. I will say though that his report is kinda "high level" though so understand that if you pick it up. (He makes 2 really good WordPress plugins both of which are kickass and related to Facebook.)
New Facebook Schedule Post Feature:
(Ignore the green "Buffer" button, that is a browser add-on, and not what we are talking about here.)
By clicking on the little "clock" icon in the lower left corner of the status update box, you will open a "set time" feature. Once you schedule something into the future, the "Post" button becomes a "Schedule" button. You can schedule image shares and more. (read more on Facebook's help page)
(Bug note: Currently the image share feature ignored my scheduling and the post appeared actually post-dated on my business page. I'm certain these are quirks that (once reported enough) will be fixed.)
We can not yet confirm this (too early) but it is assume that like all other Facebook native tools, this scheduler will have NO EdgeRank (visibility penalty) unlike other methods of scheduling posts to Facebook such as Hootsuite & Buffer.
New Facebook Administrative Role Controls:
The new role controls allow any manager to adjust the role of any other admin. A manager has full control.
Anyone acting as your "if I lose my account, you're my backup" admin of your page needs to be a manager. (Usually this is a spouse or legal business partner.) Other outsourcers should be set to only have the control they need and usually should not be managers unless they are building the page for you originally (and then you should demote them later).
The new Timeline for Business Pages changed how you do Facebook Marketing. In the past you just had to set up a Fan Gate on a default Page tab and you didn't have to worry too much about content other than the marketing blasts that you would do to everyone that "Liked" you in the past.
Well, that approach doesn't work anymore and Facebook's Timeline for Business Pages changed the game. The problem is that is now all about "engagement" and "content".
Fortunately, once you take what you learn in Timeline for Business Pages and add these tools now you're able to achieve something that more effective (less penalized by EdgeRank), more engaging (pre-schedule picture shares), more time efficient (scheduling!) and safer (less risk of your outsourcer blackmailing you).
Have you been utilizing post scheduling on your Facebook Business Page? Will you use the new built in scheduler? Have you tried it out yet? Do you feel the role manager tools will help you?

SAVERA focuses on providing access to preventive and remedial healthcare education for a range of stakeholders through various channels of communication like publications, audio-visual communication, children's books, pictures and posters, catering to diverse target groups.
It seeks to provide a platform to share research, findings and trends, creating awareness on critical health issues and works to drive opinion towards viable options.
A focus of the SAVERA programme is also to create a credible knowledge repository of healthcare and wellness information that can be accessed and used by all.
Why Savera
preventive health awareness
Everyone should have the right to a healthy life. To achieve this goal there is an increasing need not only to provide remedial healthcare services but to educate people and generate awareness and bring focus to preventive health awareness, especially to those who have limited financial resources.
These initiatives can range from communications targeted to individual members of society when they are well, helping them maintain a healthy lifestyle, to those that are susceptible to unique health risks, helping them manage these risks in a more informed manner. Making information and data available in an easy-to-understand manner would not only help addressing the issue but also reduce misconceptions and myth created through ignorance.
preventive health awareness
Given the sub-optimal education levels in the country and significant gap between need and availability of healthcare resources, programs such as SAVERA would help reduce the pressure on scarce resources; increase awareness on health issues; keep people healthy for longer and ensure resources and attention is focused on the right areas.
Over the years, our network of Fortis Hospitals, diagnostic labs and retail pharmacies has generated a vast quantum of information on preventive health and cure. The SAVERA programme aims to develop a platform for collating, hosting and sharing this data, publications, and audio visual content that will be easily accessible. The idea is to create a credible data repository that can be utilised for health research including activities such as analysing emerging health trends and shifts that can serve as an early warning system to help initiate meaningful policy interventions.Explore
Given the fact that health issues are a matter of anxiety and concern to most, and hospitals tend to be intimidating spaces for ordinary people, availability of simple publications that effectively communicate & inform people about basic health, hygiene and nutrition subjects can go a long way in driving preventive health awareness as also allowing for informed consumer choices during illness situations. A better understanding of disease terminology, symptoms and medicine usage norms can also help facilitate better administration of treatment pathways and reducing chances of error and risks.
In collaboration with our partners, SAVERA seeks to create a library of such literature which is simple to understand, in multiple languages and address the literacy and understanding levels of all audiences. While created with medical inputs, the objective it to demystify the content and convert the same into a language and style which ensures clarity in understanding.Explore
SAVERA specialises in using simple, creative communication techniques that have a high recall to spread awareness about a variety of heath related concerns with the ultimate goal of creating healthier lives especially for the economically weaker sections of society. It also seeks to position an open platform for sharing healthcare research and analysis in order to bring information into the public domain with the objective of driving informed choices regarding healthcare policy.

She was knackered from staying up late finalising her outfits the night before, and now she practically had to swim to Somerset House in the pouring rain.But things picked up backstage at DAKS, where a delightful Luke Hersheson taught BB how to perfect the 'day-after straightened look' on her hair. He described it as 'a world away from the poker-straight look of the late 90s' - or something like that, anyway. BB had become distracted - she'd just spotted a heap of brownies and strawberries. How apt, BB thought, on Valentine's Day. Love was certainly in the air -the Orly nail colour was 'First Kiss'... BB crossed her paws in hope of a Somerset House smooch.Then it was off to Mark Fast. BB almost gave up reporting altogether after the walk to Aldwych House. Her fur had never felt so sodden. Squelching in, she spotted Mark himself, who was getting his make-up done. BB tried to engage him in deep conversation; but he ran away without so much as a 'How do you do?' Badger breath strikes again. Oops. On to Christopher Raeburn, who had thoughtfully designed ponchos for the Amex Insiders who were standing out in the rain, directing the crowds of curiously dressed fashion students to the loos. His collection was inspired by polar bears and the Arctic -BB hoped that some pelt-maintenance advice might be on the cards. However, the tresses backstage were undeniably human-esque.BB sighed and scuttled back out into the downpour. Then it was off to Todd Lynn, which was being held at The Box. BB had heard some tail-curling stories about the place, and rather hoped that this might be the spot where she would meet her Valentine. She didn't. But she DID run into the dreamy Kenna, who was creating what he referred to as 'wrong-place hair', inspired by Todd's love of artist Jonas Burgert.BB skipped out with a spring in her step, excited to get over to PPQ. But she never made it - a cocktail bar beckoned, and Backstage Badger soon found herself curled up in a warm corner with a glass of something potent. Well, mused BB, who was easily led astray - where better to end up on Valentine's Day? Read on... Beauty Flash. This week we're loving...

(Editor's Note: Edward Schneider's Oct 7, 2011 article on KIOR was selected for an Outstanding Performance Award.)
KiOR (NASDAQ:KIOR) is a renewable energy company attempting to convert wood chips into petroleum on a high-volume basis. In October 2011, I recommended shorting KiOR at $16.91 in an article entitled KiOR: $1.7B Market Cap With No Revenue. Since then, KiOR stock fell 99% to $0.24 today.
KiOR was a compelling short for a few reasons. First and foremost, a $1.7B market cap with no underlying revenues made KIOR stock an attractive short on a fundamental basis. Secondly, KiOR required over $1B in more capital to move to high-volume production; a recipe for massive shareholder dilution and/or debilitating debt. Third, technical challenges made it highly unlikely that KiOR's conversion process would ever achieve yields close to those of crude oil, thereby debunking pie-in-the-sky sell-side analysts' estimates and other bullish views.
Today, KiOR is on the verge of bankruptcy. The company defaulted on a loan payment to the state of Mississippi on June 30, 2014. A few weeks later, KiOR entered into a Protective Advanced Loan and Security Agreement with KFT Trust, Vinod Khosla Trustee. According to KiOR's 8-K SEC filing on July 17, 2014:
The Protective Advances will be used to i) preserve, protect and prepare for the sale or disposition of KiOR's collateral under the Protective Advance Agreement or any portion thereof, and ii) enhance the likelihood and maximize the amount of repayment of KiOR's Existing Secured Obligations and the obligations secured under the Protective Advance Agreement.
Thus, KiOR's 50%-owner chose to avoid equity and instead purchase a senior loan of last resort; hoping to pick-up as much of KiOR's assets as possible in an anticipated bankruptcy/asset disposal.
Short interest on the stock went from 3M three years ago to 20M today. Initially, the shares were hard to borrow at high interest rates. But as the stock price crashed, so did the effective interest rate that was paid. For example, even if the borrow rate was unchanged at 30% per annum, the effective rate at $5 is only 9% if the shares were shorted at $17 (30% x 5/17). To short the stock today, however, the borrow rate of 106% per annum is at the high-end of its wide historical range (and prime brokers round penny stocks' borrow cost-basis to at least $1, an effective rate of 442% at the current stock price).
Given KiOR's high short interest, very expensive borrowing cost, and current market cap of only $27M (albeit an EV of $256M), the stock is no longer an ideal short. Stub equity values in bankruptcy proceedings can be unpredictable sometimes. I lost money a few years ago on the Nextwave Wireless bankruptcy proceedings. Also, if KiOR stock stops trading, and short investors are locked in at high borrowing costs, this could be another source of losses. While KiOR stock looks like it will continue to decline in the short term, it may not be worth holding KiOR short to the very end.
Finally, I recommend that readers review the above-mentioned KiOR article and back-and-forth commentary. This provides a glimpse of how hype and false assumptions created a great shorting opportunity. As an aside, investors should be wary of bullish sell-side research of public venture companies. Despite Chinese Walls that supposedly exist between investment banking and research activities, brokers remain conflicted, especially in the case of a high-stake client like KiOR.

Apple has been forced to withdraw an update for the iOS 8 operating system, after it appeared to cause more problems than it solved.
The tech giant had released the new version of its software to fix glitches reported by iPhone and iPad users.
But customers who installed the update have reportedly had difficulties making phone calls, and have been unable to use fingerprints to unlock their device.
Many of these latest flaws only seem to affect the iPhone 6, with older models less vulnerable to the additional glitches from the software update.
An Apple spokeswoman said: "We have received reports of an issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update. We are actively investigating these reports and will provide information as quickly as we can. In the meantime, we have pulled back the iOS 8.0.1 update."
But for many disgruntled users, news of the problem came too late, with many unable to use their devices as normal.
One affected customer, Rob, tried to alert his friends by tweeting: "Not happy with my phone not working as a phone now. DO NOT UPDATE TO iOS 8.01."
Meanwhile, Aquib Hossain warned: "Do not upgrade to iOS 8.0.1! Touch ID stops working but worse yet, you can't connect to your wireless service."
The problems come amid complaints from iPhone 6 Plus owners, who claim their smartphone had bent substantially after being placed in a tight pocket.
More than 10 million of the new devices were sold in the weekend after its launch last Friday.
The iOS update had been intended to fix bugs in the operating system which had stopped the much-anticipated HealthKit feature from going live last week.
According to a description from Apple, the download was also meant to make it easier for apps to access photos, and to address a glitch seen in the Safari browser.
Affected users are being advised to revert to the original version of iOS 8.

Photos: Suspected intruders shot in South Union Township
Updated: 12:19 PM EDT Sep 15, 2015
9 photos
1 of 9
State police are investigating after a double shooting early Tuesday morning at a house in South Union Township, Fayette County, where at least two unknown people gained entry.
The shooting happened at a house on Albion Street.
The glass in the front porch door was broken. Yellow markers on the porch indicated shell casings from gunshots.
Police said a woman who lives in the house told them she was asleep when the people forced their way inside, and she called 911.
Two of the men ended up being shot. One was found with three gunshot wounds in an alley and was taken to a hospital, while the other showed up at a different hospital with a leg wound.
Police said the woman told them that she does not own a gun and did not have possession of a firearm, so they are trying to determine who the shooter was.
Police continue to investigate. No charges have been filed.

I'm looking for some info - upsides and downsides of kids taking friends - and how arrangements were made etc.. ALSO - at what age do you let your kids get on the bus to MK etc by themselves and go into the parks alone? Slowly but surely I've been losening the reigns - - I stay in the same region as they are and I can see them going from ride to ride - but they can't necessarily see me - so it gives them some feelings of independence!

Cathodic-Polarization Effects on the Long/Short Corrosion-Fatigue Crack Growth Rate of an Offshore Steel

We study the cyclic crack growth rate of an offshore steel. Compact specimens with long cracks and cylindrical specimens with short surface cracks were tested in air (at frequencies of 5–10 Hz) and in a 3.5% aqueous solution of NaCl (0.2 Hz). In the presence of cathodic polarization (−950 mV/SCE), the growth rate of long cracks is higher than under the conditions of free corrosion. The plateau appearing in this case in the da/dN–ΔK diagrams indicates the presence of hydrogen embrittlement. For ΔK > 10 MPa, the growth rates of short and long cracks coincide.

US FIRM Lord Day & Lord, Barrett Smith decided to dissolve this week in the face of mounting costs. The news will affect many Lloyd's Names who comprise much of the firm's client base.
Some 55 Lord Day fee earners – including the entire corporate team and half its litigators – will join Morgan Lewis Bockius' New York office when Lord Day folds on 30 September. This leaves 60 staff rethinking their careers.
Morgan Lewis London managing partner Charles Lubar says: "This is a tremendous boost for the London office. Lord Day had built up an extremely strong Anglo-American link over the past 25 years and was involved with major Lloyd's insurance work. It also has other key UK institutional clients.
"We will now be able to provide a much more comprehensive service to Lloyd's clients." The incoming Lord Day lawyers specialise in secured lending, M&A, insurance, litigation and tax.
He adds: "Lord Day was involved in some bad mergers – they took on Barrett Smith – and they took a lot of office space at the top of the market at very high cost – so they carried a big real estate exposure."
Morgan Lewis is also to pick up 50 fee-earners from Newman Bouknight Edgar, which is restructuring itself to reflect changes in the electrical and the nuclear power industries.
The new intake will join Morgan Lewis's office in Washington DC, and establish it as one of the largest in the US energy sector.
The only Lord Day associate in London is Steven Navarro, who will join Morgan Lewis's London office under Charles Lubar. He says: "It is very sad. The firm is one of the oldest in the US, trading under the Lord Day name since the 1840s.
"But I think the Morgan Lewis move is very good – for those of us who are going. And it is a good move for our clients."
Explaining the end of Lord Day, he says: "Costs were getting out of control. It
doesn't reflect a fall in corporate and litigation work in general."
Morgan Lewis has doubled its London fee-earners so far this year and now has 14. Next week it will have 15 with the addition of Navarro.

Yes, the bed is soaked
When you awoke, the sheets and blankets were completely soaked. You smiled happily that your plan was a success. You then put on you saddest face possible and called out for your mom. "What is it?" she said walking into the room. She was immediatly alerted by the lattes stain on your sheets and pants. "Did you wet the bed?" she asks. You nod yes, secretlay ecstatic inside.
"Well let's get you cleaned up for school." she said before telling you to go take a shower. When you come back into your room, you see a pair of clothes on the bed, but no sheets. She must've take them to be washed you think to yourself and put the clothes on. While you are at school, what do you do?

Construction Safety Site Plan
SafetySoft's Construction Safety Site Plan software allows you to take complete control over your job site safety plan requirements. Patterned after a very successful manual program in use by a leading west coast safety consulting company, the software has been reviewed and accepted by OSHA as meeting or exceeding the requirements for site safety plan documentation.
The software has a simple intuitive interface that's easy to learn and fun to use. To create a safety plan you simply enter basic project information such as project name, description, phone number, etc. You then select SIC codes that reflect the level of your company's participation in the project. The printed document is then tailored to the specific project based on the SIC codes you entered. A printed safety plan generally runs between 80 to 100 pages in length. Only 5 to 10 minutes is required to create a fully customized Construction Safety Site Plan and it takes about 30 minutes to print and assemble the plan. (Note: binder and sheet protectors are not included.) The project name is printed on the header of each page and you can include your company logo on the cover page for a truly customized look. Changes are simple to make and sections can be added or deleted as required.
