Can I have my husbands green card revoked if he deceived and left me? 4 Answers as of January 24, 2011My husband deceived me. I would have never thought he was doing this to me. My marriage was based on lies and deceit. I filed for his resident and he received his approval paper in August of 2010 and in September he left and never came back.

Did he leave the U.S. or just left you? You can certainly write a letter to USCIS. They are unlikely to do anything just based on the letter but next time he applies for any benefits it will be part of the file and considered especially if he has only a 2 year green card. USCIS is used to disgruntled spouse letters. You need to give yourself time to cool down before doing this as you may be causing trouble for him that you later want to backtrack on if you ever get back together.

Sorry to hear that. If you want to cancel your husband's green card, you will have to write a letter and send it by certified mail to USCIS to explain the situation. It depends on where the green card application was filed. You can send it to the office where you were last interviewed or send it to the Service Center where the i-130 was filed. It would be best to include the receipt of the I-130 so that USCIS can put your letter in the file.

Yes, you could notify USCIS of what you believe to be a fraudulent marriage entered into by your husband solely for unlawful immigration purposes and in violation of federal law.

You should call ICE to report him. You can find the number on the Internet. If what he got is a 2 year temporary green card, don't help him to lift the restriction. Good luck!

Congress planning general elections this year: Naidu
The Congress leadership is mulling to go for Lok Sabha elections in this year itself after the end of monsoon session of Parliament, BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said today.india Updated: Feb 09, 2013 17:19 IST
The Congress leadership is mulling to go for Lok Sabha elections in this year itself after the end of monsoon session of Parliament, BJP leader M Venkiah Naidu said on Saturday.
"We have reports that the Congress leadership is thinking of early elections to Lok Sabha and they may be held in 2013 after the end of the monsoon session (of Parliament). That's the reliable information we have got," Naidu told reporters in Chennai.
He attributed the UPA government's recent decisions on increasing subsidised LPG cylinders from six to nine, distribution of Aadhar cards and direct cash transfers to early polls.
Naidu said the Congress would be defeated whether the elections were held in 2013 or 2014 as the UPA government had 'failed' on all fronts.
He said the BJP was the only alternative and the "so called" Third Front was only a mirage.
"Disgruntled and discredited leaders cannot form and lead the Third Front."
On the execution of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, Naidu said, "A strong public opinion compelled the government to finally act."
He added that the Centre needed to explain the reasons behind the "abnormal delay" in his execution, as ordered by the Supreme Court.

EPA reaches $44,600 settlement with Juneau Auto Dealer for used oil handling violations
Release Date: 05/10/2007
Contact Information: Peter Magolske, (206) 553-2964, email@example.com or Tony Brown, (206) 553-1203, firstname.lastname@example.com
(Juneau, Alaska – May 10, 2007) Michael Hatch of Mike Hatch Jeep (4755 North Douglas Highway) in Juneau has reached a $44,600 settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to resolve failures to properly manage used oil at his facility.
According to Mike Bussell, EPA's Director of the Office of Compliance and Enforcement in Seattle, businesses that accept used oil for energy-recovery through burning in space heaters (very common in Alaska), need to be aware of the regulations.
"Burning contaminated oil can easily expose others to harmful pollutants," said Bussell. "Properly managing used oil is absolutely critical to protecting the community and the environment. Companies handling used oil must comply with the law or face penalties."
Federal regulations allow for recycling and burning of used oil for energy recovery, provided that certain requirements are followed. To learn more about these requirements and additional information on used oil management, visit:

Continued from page 1
How can such positive findings lead to such a negative conclusion? The majority is fixated on the part of the glass that is 5% not full—the 19 million Americans who still don't have access to any broadband service. That number is repeated thirteen times in the main text of the report, in case anyone forgets it. (In the last report, the number was 26 million.)
Worse, the majority notes that of those 19 million, 14.5 million (76%) live in rural areas, where the costs of building high-speed networks is much higher—perhaps too high to ever make economic sense. "We have acknowledged," the majority writes, that "there is no business case for broadband investment in some parts of the nation."
So we're stuck at 95%. There will never be broadband for "all Americans." At least not without the FCC grudgingly stepping in to break the logjam.
But that logic requires some enormous leaps of faith. Most important and most implausible of all, the majority starts by limiting its definition of broadband to access available by wire or other fixed technology.
That, however, is not the only way to get high-speed Internet. With improvements in cellular technologies driven in part by the explosive adoption of smartphones, wireless broadband is expanding even faster than wired. Yet mobile broadband from cellular and, more recently, satellite providers, is left entirely out of the report's findings. Why? The majority says it just can't find reliable data on the number of Americans who can get mobile broadband. So it doesn't count them. At all. Zero.
But mobile broadband is the fastest-growing category of new Internet access services. Wireless carriers invested over $25 billion in 2011 alone, compared to $18.6 billion in the fifteen largest European economies combined. As dissenting Commissioner Robert McDowell reminds his colleagues, the U.S. continues to lead the world in 4G LTE deployment, which averages speeds well beyond the majority's definition of broadband.
Just to be clear how much excluding mobile skews the majority's ultimate conclusion, the report itself offers alternative results based on a few different data sources, including the Department of Commerce. Adding in the most conservative estimates of mobile broadband availability, the actual number of Americans without access to broadband drops from 19 million to 14 million. It is perhaps as low as 5.5 million--only 1.7% of Americans.
To put all of these numbers into perspective, consider that the most recent data from the U.S. Census finds there are still nearly 8 million Americans—almost 3%--whose homes lack complete plumbing. And the drive for universal sanitary living conditions began well before the founding of the American Republic. Broadband Internet access has only existed since 1997.
The only real limits to even faster mobile broadband deployment, as the majority admits, are regulatory hurdles--rights-of-way, access to conduits, rooftops, and utility poles, and local zoning delays on building or modify cell towers. That and the lack of additional radio spectrum, which network operators would be willing to license from U.S. taxpayers for billions of dollars if only it could be pried from the clutches of less-efficient users, including the federal government itself.
Indeed, had the FCC and the Department of Justice not blocked last year's proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile, combining the spectrum and equipment assets of the two companies would have made it possible to offer mobile broadband to 95% of all Americans within a few years. The deal would have disproportionately affected small and rural communities—in a positive way.
Wishing away mobile broadband, however, is essential for the majority, particularly in the context of rural Americans--the group the majority singles out as uneconomic for wired service. For rural users, mobile broadband is a much more cost-effective option to build, whether via cellular or satellite technology or both. Including current and future mobile deployment makes the rural picture look far less bleak.
So the actual number of Americans without broadband access is significantly smaller than the majority says, and market incentives to provide capacity to the actual number are not in fact broken. Ironically, the extent to which broadband deployment "to all Americans" isn't happening in a "reasonable and timely fashion" is largely the result of missteps by the regulators themselves.
By wishing away the most relevant data, however, the majority reaches the opposite conclusion. Even including mobile broadband, the majority still believes that "immediate action" is essential. "We would likely reach this same finding," they write, "even if we considered the best available mobile data."

Stamford finds more anti-immigrant emails betwee city workers
City workers forwarded anti-immigrant messages from work accounts
Published 1:00 am, Sunday, May 11, 2014
STAMFORD -- Newly surfaced documents show city supervisors in the Office of Operations have exchanged numerous derogatory emails related to immigration using their government email accounts.
The messages were circulated between 2007 and 2010 by Director of Operations Ernie Orgera, Solid Waste Supervisor Dan Colleluori and Mike Skoumbros, a traffic violations officer. The emails claim that illegal immigrants are bankrupting the country, refer disparagingly to immigrant mothers of "anchor babies" and suggest shipping illegal immigrants to Iraq as a way of securing the American border.
The messages were chain emails, not written by the three employees but rather received and forwarded by them from their city email accounts. The emails were obtained by The Advocate last week after an anonymous person sent copies to several city employees and elected officials before the Board of Representatives' vote to reappoint Orgera.
Mayor David Martin called the years-old emails "deplorable and indefensible" in a statement issued last week.
"In the past, the city clearly took a passive approach toward ending the dissemination of these messages and that culture needs to change," Martin said. "Moving forward, we will be assembling a plan to review all of our communication policies, educate employees on acceptable practices, and foster greater sensitivity to the ethnic diversity of our city."
The emails include seven immigration-related messages forwarded by Orgera, Colleluori and Skoumbros over a three-year time period. Six other emails of similar content were sent from outside city hall to city employees across several departments.
Under Stamford's technology policy, city employees are prohibited from using their work email accounts or computers to send messages that include sexual innuendo, racist, sexist, homophobic, harassing or intimidating content. Employees who even receive such emails are required to alert technology and legal officials immediately.
Martin's office could not confirm last week if Orgera or any other city employees reported the immigration-related emails to city officials. Orgera, Colleluori and Skoumbros did not respond to requests for comment.
Orgera first ran afoul of the city's technology policy in 2005, when he was one of five employees disciplined for circulating sexist emails from city accounts. Orgera, who was then the supervisor of traffic maintenance, didn't forward any emails that time but was required to undergo sexual harassment counseling for failing to report the ones he received.
Orgera, a Republican, started working for the city in 1970 as a police officer. After 20 years he moved to the Office of Operations, where he worked primarily in the highways division until former Mayor Michael Pavia appointed him as director of the department in 2009.
Martin, a Democrat who took office Dec. 1, nominated Orgera for reappointment in April. The Board of Representatives Appointments Committee narrowly voted against Orgera's nomination late last month, but the full 40-member board later voted 24-12 to approve his reappointment.
Orgera is paid $148,833 per year as Director of Operations and has two pensions from his long career with the city, including $1,944 per month from the police department and $3,811 per month from the Office of Operations. As a member of the mayor's cabinet, Orgera now participates in a defined contribution retirement plan.

Written by Laura Dengrove
The CW's new teen drama, The 100 (based on the books by Kass Morgan), stayed true to its name as it felt like it took 100 hours to get through this dreadful apocalypse piece. It's been done time and time again, the world seemingly ends, some end up surviving, miraculously a group of whiny teenagers end up being the saviors/victims of the story. The utter staleness of this tale alone earns some yawns, but to top that the acting, writing, and visual effects makes the show even more awful and unbearable.
The 100 tells the tale of a group of juvenile delinquents sent to a post apocalyptic earth to test its safety for other survivors of the end of the world, who are aboard a space station called the "arc." As the teens examine the new world for the first time, they come to see that everything is not what it appears. And (of course) everything is not what it appears. Instead of being something exciting or at least semi-watchable, The 100 turns into an extremely boring hour of nothingness, bad acting, bad writing, and even worse visual effects.
To start off, let's cover the acting. All the actors in the show are all relatively unknown, and with the looks of this show, will remain as such. To pinpoint one actor that is better than the rest is an impossible task, and to pinpoint one actor worse than the rest is also an impossible task. Simply put, they are all equally terrible. The lead of the show, Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor), just lacks and never truly shines in the role of the leader. You are left with a feeling of indifference watching her ramble on about her family and trying to convey more emotion, or emotion other than discomfort. Her complete lack of confidence in the role is undeniable and evident, but even with a stronger lead this show still couldn't be salvaged. This is due to the horrendous writing.
The writing in the show is forgettable, predictable, and just plain bad. It is as if the writers didn't really care about this story, as the should, or thought they were writing for the adventurous Goths/Emos the teen drama fan world has been filled with lately. The writing also adds to the staleness of the plot which has become oh-so-familiar in our world. Writing, no matter how terrible the plot is, should reflect the devotion and love of the craft a writer has in general; not the boredom and lack of interest the writers were feeling. The writers should have tried harder, and not so obviously given up on a project that they felt was doomed from the start.
Last and certainly not least, are the awful visual effects — in particular the scene in the beginning where the teens are first descending upon earth in a shuttle craft. My goodness, it is like no one even remotely tried to make this show watchable. The ship looks like something out of a D horror movie from the '50s; all's they needed was a piece of string moving the shuttle craft around in space and this disaster would have truly been completed.
To sum up, nothing about this show was enjoyable, nothing was redeemable, and nothing could ever make this show last more than half a season.

It's one of the best article about mobile marketing.
Study says that most of the people in the world are using mobile devices to surf all the details on the web, because nobody can carry the huge devices always. So all prefer to use Mobiles instead of PC.
Hey Michael !
Very true post. Well this is the fact that almost all the works of world is shifting on the mobile phones. All the reasons are valid from every aspect. Everybody knows that something which has boom at one time, will have to face depression. But here i do not think so "mobile life style" will have to face depression because it is now our need, just like food.
well nice pieces of advice.
It's a great article about mobile marketing.Mobile content marketing is a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing great information, very helpful.
Great article written! Use of mobile phone increasing day by day, people more like to use mobile for more purpose. Now a day people more like to use mobile for the purpose of blog facebook email etc as compare to laptop.

Very informative post . It's a great article about mobile marketing. Mobile are very much in use nowadays and also Mobile marketing is popular and widely used everywhere. Smartphones really help peoples in multi ways you can easily open blogger and other application at any place.
Now a days Mobile phone is enough for creating blog and all things compare to laptop. So Mobile phones can fulfill the people expectations. Thanks for sharing great information to all.
Very informative post This not crazy As technology grows up we should grow up our ideas also .Well detailed post I never thought about this and their benefits
In this time smart phone really help peoples in multi ways you can easily open blogger and other application and they support all very well.
When i moved my blog from blogger to wordpress, i got the ability to show mobile ads and my earnings almost doubled. Thanks for writing this up 🙂
Did you see or hear Google's earning report on the mobile side of things? It seems as if for sure they have kind of blown the door of with earnings, and sadly enough I feel as if facebook is left in the dust.
But the time is coming where mobile is going to if, its not already where it's all at!
Thanks for sharing this information,
I didn't see the Google's earning report. Where can I read it up? In any case, mobile marketing is gradually dominating PC marketing. I'm sure content marketers are set for a drastic change.
Mobile marketing is popular and widely used today. Many people preferred browsing products and services through their phones. It is more convenient and easy to do. Mobile content marketing is a brilliant idea.
You're right Jasmine. Mobile shopping rocks and I'm seriously going to consider it this New Year. See you around!
Price comparison and getting a better deal via mobile is moving in on the traditional print catalogue. Great article.
Mobile are very much in use nowadays; it is very handy and many people are now browsing the internet with this electronic gadget. As an article marketer, online writer or blogger, this thing must be considered
It's a great article about mobile marketing. I think it's one arm of content marketing that's being neglected by marketers. I'd get started at it pretty soon.
You got the point perfectly clear. See you ahead!
we dont have life if we dont have a smart phone. We can even blog from phone, but when it comes to blogger.com! then we must buy an iPad instead of a smart phone. I know there are some blogger apps but they aren't awesome..

Use what test?
a) ∑(from n=1 to infinity) (arctan n/ n^1.2)
b) ∑(from n=1 to infinity) ( (n^n) / (2n)! )
Not sure how to do these...when i do it using ratio test, it turns out really weird..so yea i need help.
let , and let
Then (because )
And is a p-series with p=1.2, which is greater than 1, therefore converges, and because is monotonic and increasing, and bounded above by we know that converges by the comparison test.
, and
Here multiply numerator and denominator by 1 over n^n to get
Now multiply the numerator and denominator by 1/n to get
It should be relatively clear that this converges to zero, (because the numerator converges to e, and the denominator diverges) but if you need me to explain that more, I can.
So because the series is absolutely convergent and therefore convergent.

Dave Pelzer is a very brave person and has overcome so much abuse, my heart goes out to him and all the children who for one reason or another live in fear at their homes, it may not be at the hands of their mother but possibly father even siblings. Just take the time out to think about, PLEASE!!!

posts on 12/14/2008 3:50:41 AM
Lucky Lady, you are correct that Dave is not exactly what the world perceives him to be. I have said it earlier, and I will say it again... He is struggling greatly from within. He has a major attachment disorder with a lack of trust from anyone near and far. Any woman entering a relationship with this man should go very cautiously into the night. But why would you not think he would be of such a nature after suffering years of detachment as a child? The problem is that women enter his life thinking they can rescue him, or fix him by mothering him. He needs neither. Abuse from a parent, especially of the opposite sex, is a lifelong struggle of feeling abandoned... I know ALL too well. I agree, and know without a doubt, that he is not the most honest person I have met. He hides behind a facade and a shield of terror. However, I do believe that great things are to come from Dave Pelzer years from now. I do not agree that HE ROCKS, nor do I agree that there is no hope. He is a man at sea, floating in a sea of chaos, and may God help him find the shoreline soon.
Dave Rocks

Dear Anonymous, You are WRONG about WHY Dave and his fiance' broke up. You said it was because he traveled too much and that she left him for someone else. The truth is-she broke up with him because she found out that he had been cheating on her during their entire relationship. Is it any wonder WHY none of his relationships ever last? He is NOT the great guy that everyone THINKS he is. He is NOT the honorable man he CLAIMS to be. He is a LIAR and a CHEATER!

the social worker (NOT Ms Gold however) should not have given Mrs. Pelser a Headsup in other she should have come by unannouced and that way Mrs Pelzer MIGHT FINALLY have been caugh red handed !

23 Gifts of Willingness, Thanks to Recovery
November 20th is the mid-point in my sobriety year. Three days ago, the recovery calendar turned to 24 1/2 for me.
I think I remember that first six-month mark–24 years ago–because it came right at Thanksgiving and was the beginning of my first sober holiday season.
I remember spending a good deal of time in November and December of 1991 overcome with gratitude. In fact, I don't think a single season since then has quite captured the magnitude of emotion I felt then.
Now, in full disclosure, I was an emotional wreck in 1991; gratitude was only one of many emotions that lived on my skin's surface. I was also angry, bitter and self-righteously indignant, mostly with my family. Those poor people.
24 years ago and now
Six months into recovery found me fiery and righteous. I looked and acted tough although my insides quivered in fear of not drinking or smoking pot during the holidays. My God, how would I survive?
Thank you, God, for feeling comfortable in my skin all these years later. I no longer wear my emotions just above my hairline. Sometimes I may still not like the skin I'm in–I'm working on toning and tossing some of it–but I really like who I am today.
Who cares if it took nearly a quarter of a century to get here?
The gift of willingness
Of all the reasons for thanksgiving and gratitude this year, I am grateful for the gift of willingness. This topsy-turvy year brought me to a recent resting place of sorts; a place where I'm settling in and figuring things out. I wouldn't have this resting place without willingness.
In this past year I have become willing to:
- 1. Trust the process
- 2. Keep my mouth shut
- 3. Let go of outcomes
- 4. Cultivate awareness and quiet time
- 5. Say, "No, I don't want to"
- 6. Believe in unknown possibilities
- 7. Have faith in right outcomes
- 8. Love without liking
- 9. Look beyond what I see
- 10. Try something new, then something else
- 11. Sit with uncomfortable feelings
- 12. Say, "Yes, I will do the thing I love to do"
- 13. Bow my head more often
- 14. Leap into adventures
- 15. Lend hand and heart in service
- 16. Appreciate others' struggles without fixing them
- 17. Reach and stretch mind, body and spirit
- 18. Grow where I am
- 19. Pray without ceasing
- 20. Cherish my family
- 21. Turn from the angry and violent
- 22. Stay mindful
- 23. Caress my heart-mate with tenderness, open arms and a welcome home at the end of each day
God's grace grants me, not only willingness, but also desire to do each of these things. What a bountiful feast of joyful living!
Feelings of blessing begin with an inner knowing that all is well. I feel well today! My soul feels happy–me, the one who always tried to "figure out" the meaning of happiness. Now I'm basking in pools of heavenly happiness.
My prayer for you during this week of Thanksgiving is that you feel well too. May your soul feel happy, may you uncover your own willingness list and may you grow in your sense of God's grace.
B Well and Happy Thanksgiving!

I like adventure games. I swear I do. I have fond memories of playing through the Monkey Island games. I really enjoyed Telltale's Sam & Max revival. When afforded the chance to try Microids' Return To Mysterious Island games, courtesy of a re-release on Steam, I was intrigued. These were games that I have heard good things about and were considered some of the better adventure games during the genre's lull in popularity. Lamentably, I am either a terrible fan of the genre, or these did not age well.
You wake up on the shore of a mysterious island, shipwrecked with a sat-phone that's low on juice. You also, apparently, suffer from hypoglycemia, as you are first tasked with feeding yourself before continuing on. I ate the following in one sitting: three whole coconuts, two crabs, three large turtle eggs (raw, pierced with a rusted key,) one bird egg (also raw and pierced with rusty key,) and one whole fish before my character declared that she was satiated enough to continue. This was not overindulgence, but required to proceed.
Of course, gathering and devouring these items involved solving various puzzles around the beach. I will concede that the solutions make sense in context, but they also felt arbitrary. While not elegant, I ought to have been able to bash a coconut open against a rock and eat it, without first needing to fashion a knife. I mean, I'm a castaway. There's no need to be fancy.
I continued, finally, exploring the island only to be accosted by a large group of shrieking primates throwing what I hope was just rocks at me. In order to move on, I had to figure out a way to stop them without harming them. My wife, a zookeeper, can tell you that trying to solve riddles while being screamed at by chimps (or husband –wife) is not a relaxing or rewarding experience. It was at this point that I realized that I was irritated. This lead me further to the realization that there was a reason this genre suffered from lack of attention for a while. I then reached the conclusion that as this was a classic release, I could do a simple impressions piece and move on to something more pleasant. For example, ghost pepper colon cleansing.
The classic adventure games are fun because the story is fun. The environments are interesting to explore. The puzzles feel clever and engaging. Return to Mysterious Island does not fit the bill for me.

Good evening everyone,
I'm planning to go Interrailing in 2015 (either summer or winter I'm not sure yet) and I am looking for some advice. This is my planned route:
Flight: Glasgow to Paris.
Paris – Antwerp
Antwerp – Amsterdam
Amsterdam – Berlin
Berlin – Prague
Prague – Vienna
Vienna – Zurich
Zurich – Grenoble
Grenoble – Marseille
Flight: Marseille – Glasgow.
I am looking to travel for around a month so that I can see a fair bit of the places while I am there . I know roughly how much this will cost me but I have two questions:
1) Should I go during the summer or the winter considering my route plan?
2) I may be travelling alone and my friends don't really fancy it so, will I meet many fellow travelers on the way? Because I think that it would be much more enjoyable with other!
Thanks very much!

- Artist: Kagimoto Yuu
- Genre: New Age
- Release Date: 1/31/2006
[Commentary for this works] When we hear this works, it becomes that the thing like 'an abyss' is involving us. Sounds of Kagimoto Yuu make such a music. It is very difficult to explain his music by means of language. If it dares to be told by the genre name, it will be called ambient or electronic music. To be sure, into the details of sound, a link with the IDM scene like Boards of Canada can also be taken in. But simultaneously, if it is said that his sounds are used for the ceremony and festival in an unknown region in Tibet or somewhere, it is likely that we are convinced easily. Although the word 'spiritual' has also come to be used cheaply so much lately, we think that his music is the very one 'spiritual' in the true meaning of 'shaking the mental depth calmly.' The drone sound which continues for a long time changes little by little. And a noise, a sample and a faint melody are emerging out of the fluctuation. There is not necessarily a rhythm carried out clearly. And so is there not necessarily a catch of language. However, his music charms people because of the thing like an 'abyss' which we felt vividly. This music may be listened to, one may memorize uneasiness, one may feel nostalgia or one may feel comfort like the interior of the womb. We can regard such feelings as being closely connected with the image of 'death' so that he may tell himself. As what cannot be visible, as what cannot be told, as what must have been concerned since we were received to this world, that is death or funeral. Through making sounds, Kagimoto Yuu would spy out the thing which exists over the image. If it is so, he is much more thrilling than so many (pseud-)artistic electronic musicians and his music has the power of purification very much rather than pop-music which only recite 'curing'.

Liz,

You are correct. One of the things we have discussed in Consent Culture is that a person who has been sexually assaulted must be allowed to take whatever action he or she feels comfortable with. Another thing is that questioning the circumstances tends to have the aim of minimizing the importance or impact of the assault.

What happened to Susan was wrong, both the snubbing she got and the assault. I really wish that there had been, as Danny mentioned, a clear and obvious person, either attached to Noisebridge or Hackmeet, to go to immediately. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and will probably not happen in the near future.

I don't think this is an appropriate question. If I ever have a similar
thing happen to me at the space, I would be very uncomfortable being
cross examined about it and having my own judgment of what happened
dismissed. That is what you just did to Susan and it is really wrong,
and embarrassing. Yet it is what women inevitably face when they try
to report sexual harassment and assault. And then when we don't report
it and simply go away, everyone wonders why and faults us for that. A
situation I certainly HAVE faced many times and probably will again in life.

Whoever you are Ever Falling, could you talk to me in person some time?
I would discuss the issues if you want to have some sort of discussion,
but would prefer that to happen in person.

Thanks

Liz

The earliest that the city of Washington could hold an election on a proposal to annex adjacent land would be in August 2013.
That's according to City Counselor Mark Piontek who addressed that issue Monday night during a city council workshop on the annexation plan recommended by the city's planning and zoning commission.
Under state annexation law, a city can call an election in which property owners in the areas to be annexed and city voters cast separate ballots. If the issue receives a majority approval from voters in both the proposed annexation areas and city, the measure passes.
However, if city voters pass the issue but outlying voters reject it, the city has the option of calling a second election in which all votes are combined and the issue must receive a two-thirds, or super majority, to pass.
Under state law, that second election must be held within 120 days of the first election, Piontek explained.
Because the Missouri Legislature eliminated June from the state's election calendar, the city can't hold an annexation election in April because the next available time for a second election would be August, beyond the 120-day limit, Piontek said.
That "unintended consequence" of the Legislature's action means the city would have to hold the first election in August and could follow up with a second election in November, he noted.
Another consequence, he said, is that the city likely would have to pay 100 percent of the cost for both elections. With the annual April municipal election, cities and school districts that have issues on the ballot share in the cost, Piontek noted.
The Process
Under the annexation process, the first step for the city council would be to pass a resolution confirming that 15 percent of the areas to be annexed are contiguous with the current city limits, Piontek said.
The next would be to pass an ordinance adopting an Annexation Plan of Intent that outlines timetables for providing city services to annexation areas.
Next would come a public hearing at which the council would accept input and field questions from citizens, Piontek said.
At the conclusion of the process, the council would decide whether or not to adopt an ordinance to place the issue on the election ballot.
The final date to certify ballot issues for next year's August election is May 28, 2013, Piontek noted.
City Administrator Jim Briggs noted that the city could make the effective date of annexation up to three years after the election. Then the city would have three years after the effective date to provide substantial city services to annexed areas, he said.

Gospel Today presents "This Week" explores the topics, people and issues impacting our world from the perspective of faith to answer the question, "How can we live out the Gospel today?"
This week, the panel discusses the controversy around Pastor Steven Furtick's $1.7 million home in Charlotte. Is it the latest example of pastoral excess? Is there anything wrong with a Christian or a pastor having nice things?
We also delve into a great discussion around the practical implications of the sovereignty of God in light of the massive loss of life experienced by those in the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan.
We also consider the topic of pastoral stress in light of the tragic circumstances surrounding the suicide death of Pastor Teddy Parker or Macon, Ga. Could a different form of church government help alleviate the stress many pastors bear? How can we be sensitive to those around us? How can we avoid being overcome by stress ourselves?
Join in the lively debate! Please share your comments below. We want to know what you think!

Bumbu Cabe, a Sundanese restaurant in Kuching
April 20, 2016 by Borneo Kid
Filed under Best Kuching Eateries
Kuching lately has seen an increase of halal restaurants popping up all over the city. Now Muslims can have variety of options for eating out.
This is what we thought when we stumble across the new Sundanese restaurant at ICOM Square. The name of the restaurant is Bumbu Cabe. It is located at ICOM Square, Jalan Pending, 93450 Kuching, Sarawak. 'Bumbu' generally means seasoning, and it can be spice mixtures, sauces or seasoning pastes while 'cabe' stands for chilli.
We were brought to our seats upon entering and the staffs were very helpful in assisting us to order as it was our first time eating there. There were several dishes displayed at the counter, and you could pick and choose the dishes and let the staff know so they could serve it for you. When we had chosen several dishes, we returned to our seats while the staffs heat up the food and sent it to our table when they were done.
We were also served a plate of 'lalab', a Sundanese raw vegetable salad served with 4 types of sambal for free. These 4 sambals have their own unique taste and might be a bit spicy for some people.
During our visit there, we ordered a glass of Ice Honey Lemon and a glass of Soda Gembira which when translated to mean "Happy Soda" and one of the mocktail known to Indonesian. It contained soda water, condensed milk, and red rose flavoured syrup. We also ordered nasi liwet (rice dish cooked in coconut milk, chicken broth and spices) with salted egg, plain white rice, ayam bakar kecap (roasted chicken with soy sauce), tumis kacang buncis (stir fried pole beans) and bala bala (deep fried vegetable fritters).
The nasi liwet tasted like nasi lemak; our very own coconut milk rice, though the fried anchovies and salted eggs were nice addition to it. We liked the bala bala very much. Even though the ayam bakar kicap tasted a bit sweet, and the tumis kacang buncis is a bit oily, we still enjoyed all the food, accompanied by soft Indonesian instrumental music.
Besides that, they also serve ikan gurame terbang (literally means 'flying gurame fish'), ayam Bumbu Cabe (the restaurant's special chicken dish), ayam kremes (crunchy fried chicken), ayam bumbu Bali (chicken fried with Nusantara spices), terung balado (eggplants with chilli sauce), cumi cabe ijo (fried squid with green chillies), sambal kacang teri (fried groundnuts in chilli sauce), gepuk sapi (fried beef dish), rujak buah (fruit salad mixed with spicy peanut sauce), karedok (raw vegetable salad in peanut sauce), kentang mustofa (deep fried potato strips with chilli sauce), and many other dishes.
Each dish has the price per portion displayed next to them. You can estimate how many portions and the total price of your food based on the displayed price as the dishes are a bit pricey.
The ambience of the restaurant is also quite nice. The walls looked like the traditional leaf mat, and the owner said he painted it himself, and it took him about 2 months! They have indoor and outdoor seating area. The indoor area design was inspired by traditional Indonesian house, with wooden furniture, bamboo baskets to display the food, and traditional Indonesian music playing in the background. The outdoor area has several low tables that look like Japanese style dining table, but instead of sitting on the floor, they have long benches around the table.
Our verdict:
Taste: 8/10
Price: 6/10
Ambience: 9/10
So, if you wish to try out their dishes, head over to their restaurant at ICOM Square or at CityOne Mall, Jalan Song, Kuching. You can also book in advance as the place can be quite crowded during lunch and dinner time. They are closed on Sundays.

GRANTON'S Craig MacGillivray extended his lead at the top of the Scottish Snooker main tour rankings after defeating Corstorphine's Ross Vallance 4-2 in the final of Event 2 at the Locarno Snooker Club in Edinburgh.
MacGillivray survived a scare against Falkirk's Scott McCrindle in the last 16 recovering from 2-1 down to level at 2-2 and then going 50 behind in the decider before clearing the table for a 3-2 victory.
In the quarter-finals, the 40-year old made a 62 break on the way to a 3-0 victory over Perth's Scott Dunbar, the Perth ace unable to produce the form of his previous round where he made a break of 100 in a whitewash of Lloyd Condron. MacGillivray defeated Perth's Bobby Cruickshanks 3-1 in the semi-final before his victory over Vallance, the Corstorphine player having earlier enjoyed a tremendous 3-1 victory over Glasgow's Fraser Patrick who will feature in the final stages of next month's German Masters after making it through the qualifying stages.
MacGillivray has now won four events in only five tournaments in Scotland this season after winning the opening two Masters Series events and now two Main Tour events. He said: "I am obviously delighted to win another Main Tour Event but I wasn't at my best. There was a few shocks with some top players losing early on but I played steady enough to win."
Meanwhile, Michael Leslie was due to be back in action today playing England's Michael Wasley in the opening round of the Haikou World Open Qualifiers at the World Snooker Academy in Sheffield. Locarno based player Scott Donaldson plays India's Aditya Mehta.

Hi... where to begin? Sorry this is bound to be long...
I have been an avid cyclist, and especially mountain biker, for 16 years (since I was 12 years old). I also especially love biking for transportation/commuting and have biked through the winter for many years up until we moved out of the city last year.
My brother, who is 3 years older than me, developed PN in 2009 -- he had it confirmed with MRI and nerve block. I never thought I would develop it since, although we share a lot of DNA being siblings, we are so different. Wrong! Anyway, last April I had an inflammation/stress attack that caused systemic (full-body) nerve inflammation and a spontaneous recurrence of a concussion from 2012. Both my arms were going numb (I have broken both elbows in the past and developed nerve compression in the forearms from rock-climbing) and my left-side of my face was going numb (I used to be a pack-a-day gum chewer and have temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction on that side that seems to compress the facial nerve). I had to go off work fully for 6 weeks and then was on a gradual return for 12 weeks before resuming full time. At this time I figured "well, my brother has nerve problems in his butt, I have them in my arms and face I guess!" I meditated, relaxed, did physiotherapy, and slowly returned to activity. I am generally very competitive, push myself really hard... Type-A.
My nerve compression in my arms and face seemed to be resolving with meditation, gentle stretching/exercising, and dry-needling. I returned to mountain biking (my passion, the thing that makes me happiest in the world!) and ended up signing up for a couple of races. I won the races and the overall provincial race series. But one Monday in early August, after a long weekend of riding, I felt it for the first time on my left side. I knew what it was from how my brother had described it - a golf-ball in my left butt-cheek near my sit-bone. I stayed calm, rested, and it went away after a few days. Kept riding, no symptoms. Then I flared it up again riding and weight lifting about 2 months later. I rested, it went away. Then I flared it up in December doing a long hike and it didn't fully go away. Then I flared it up biking at an indoor bike park for New Year's and it's been present (in varying degrees) ever since.
I think my pain is more piriformis type initially as the type of biking I do (more downhill) requires you to keep your feet off-set/level (at 3 and 9 on a clock, not pedaling or at 6&12) and I've known I have weakness and instability in my front (left) hip since 2010 when I broke my arm and had to substitute biking with running. Running, a symmetrical sport, caused left-hip problems like ITBand Syndrome. I kind of just figured "well, whatever, I'll just stop running" but never dealt with the underlying problem of evening out my hips.
Anyhow, now I am almost 4 months pregnant and my pain is not very bad. I have a sit-stand desk and I am careful about my movements. Buuuuut... it's biking season. I can't not bike. I lose my friends, my identity, my will to live when I can't bike. I own 6 bikes: a carbon road bike, a dirt-jumping bike, a fixed-gear, a steel-frame road bike for commuting, a downhill bike, and a trail bike. I know right now I'm pregnant and dangerous biking is out of the question, but I want to at least feel the freedom of biking to work or to the grocery store and not relying on my car and on fossil fuels
I ordered the Spongy Wonder seat a little while ago and on Thursday I was so depressed and lonely (my husband was out mountain biking with our friends of course) I threw the saddle on and tried it without properly setting it up. Now I have pain on my right sit-bone too. WTF is my pelvis so inflamed it is suddenly going to develop on the other side?
I saw a pelvic PT for an assessment this past week and through intravaginal testing she found I have a very weak pelvic floor. She also observed the imbalance in my glutes (left side is weak) so she has prescribed clamshells (hip rotation/stabilizing exercises) and kegels. Maybe it's partly my mental state this week (the nice weather and not being able to bike distressing me), but the exercises seem to flare me up so I am discontinuing them. I will stick with stretching (I mainly find relief with hip flexor stretches and figure 4s).
Anyway, there seem to be no success stories on the forums here where people actually go back to riding -- from searching the forums for "bike, biking, bicycling, cycling, etc" it seems that most people kind of say it's not worth the risk. I just can't imagine living without being able to ride to the grocery store or ride to work or go for a mountain bike ride with my dog alone in the woods. I would consider ANYTHING over a lifetime without biking.
I plan to continue with physio and, luckily since I live in Ottawa, will look into starting ShockWave Therapy as soon as I'm no longer pregnant (due late September).
But what will I do this summer? My husband will be out riding... he just can't understand. He hasn't felt this. He hates that I call myself "defective" but it's how I feel. We have hundreds of friends who ride bikes pain free and never develop this. Why me? Perceived injustice is bad for healing, I know, and I do believe in the mind-body element but I already feel so angry and alone and hopeless. But mainly angry right now.
Sorry for the rant. Just had to get that out. Thanks for any suggestions and support!

All Grado headphones have a vented diaphragm design that incorporates a large air chamber. This design concept lowers the frequency resonance (distortion) of the diaphragm and extends bass response. The diaphragm is made of a low mass polymer, carefully formed to broaden resonant modes to reduce their amplitude. The diaphragm mass is determined with the compliance of the suspension in mind so that the desired low frequency resonance is achieved. The diaphragm's total mass is calculated to provide a full 20 KHZ bandwidth, while avoiding break-up at lower frequencies.
Grado headphones can reproduce as natural a soundstage from stereo recordings and provide as much listening pleasure as a good pair of speakers do. Grado headphones are free of room effects and placement problems, and they minimize any interference from external noise. They also offer portability and the ability to listen without worrying about the neighbors. With Grado headphones, you will hear recordings with greater clarity and with deeper bass than others! Grado headphones are the antithesis of mass production, as each Grado headphone is hand-assembled and closely scrutinized to meet full performance specifications in the U.S.A.
Technical refinements for Grado drivers include improved diaphragm and voice coil design for increased bass response and a larger perceived sound stage. A unique process to "de-stress" the diaphragm results in enhanced inner detail. An increased ability to control driver resonance virtually eliminates distortion. For all models, an improved headband spring will afford greater comfort for the majority of listeners.

text: I've been having a heck of a time trying to install a theme on my wii... MyMenuify works perfectly from what I can see, but I've been trying to install the Metroid Visor theme by VGM, and I can't seem to convert it myself. (I won't ask for it, since distribution of such files is illegal and all.) I have all of the following: MyMenu Samus' Visor.mym 0000007b.app (For 4.1U) I've checked the .app file multiple times, so I know it's the correct one. I believe the .mym is fine as well, I used the download link on VGM's Visor Theme video. Despite this, when I input both files into MyMenu, it refuses to create a .csm. It repeatedly gives me the message, "U8 Unpack Fail." What am I doing wrong?

Barley Nutrition
Barley nutrition information including health benefits of barley, nutritional content, and more.
Health Benefits of BarleyCooking Barley is an excellent choice if you want to incorporate whole grains into your diet and boost your nutrition. It tops our whole grain comparison charts for fiber and selenium. To see how it compares, nutritionally, to other whole grains, visit our whole grain list.
Barley NutritionBarley is richer than most whole grains in fiber. It contains both soluble (beta glucans) and insoluble fiber which play an important role in lowering cholesterol, promoting regularity, proper digestion, and preventing high blood sugar levels. It is also a great source of selenium which helps reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease. It provides phosphorus, copper, and manganese, as well.
It is the bran and endosperm layer of grains that contains these nutrients. So to take advantage of these health benefits, more fully, try to purchase hulled barley since it has not had any of its bran or endosperm layer polished or pearled off.

Part of National Museums Liverpool
Also in this section…?
Also known as the Sun lounge, this was used as a waiting area for pilots going on duty. The bulkhead (wall) is beautifully clad in oak panelling.
On the bulkhead below the builder's plate there is a clock and barometer. These were presented to the ship by its namesake, Mr Edmund Gardner, who was chairman of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board 1948-1950. The Edmund Gardner and her sister ships, the Sir Thomas Brocklebank and the Arnet Robinson, maintained the tradition of naming pilot ships after former Board chairmen.

Hi Steven, We agree that there are more possibilities than there should be. However, the verb elem/attr pair were eliminated. Instead, we now have he method element to provide an XPath expr in lieu of the literal value in the method attr, which is a pre-existing literal-valued method attribute. The method element also allows literal expression, which may still be seen as 'overkill' but it was done for consistency, i.e. in other places in XForms literal content can be provided in places where the value attr can also appear. Please see the editor's draft of XForms 1.1 available from the Forms WG home page and let us know if you have any further concerns about this issue. Thank you, John Boyer > > http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/#submit-verb > > "The submission element must allow a new optional attribute named verb of > type string." > > Must allow? > > Anyway, we now have the following possibilities: > > <submit verb="PUT"/> > <submit><verb value="'PUT'"/></submit> > <submit><verb>PUT</verb></submit> > > Isn't this overkill? > > Proposal: > Since it is entirely new, use @verb as a value attribute > <submit verb="../method/verb"/> > Drop the verb child element. > > >Received on Thursday, 26 July 2007 17:56:36 UTC

Most of these veterans served during the wars in Vietnam, Korea and World War II. Every year, more of them passed on. Without the opportunity to hear their stories firsthand, the loss of the records would soon make it much harder for us to learn that LGBT veterans once joined together to fight for recognition, justice and acceptance.

It makes the point that while these threats do exist, the only way they can cause any real damage is through an extensive series of mishaps on the user's behalf, which supposedly absolves Apple of most of the responsibility in the matter.

The 50 Funniest People Now
23. Hannibal Buress
Buress is our era's top inheritor of the late, lamented Mitch Hedberg's stoner comedy mantle, with a vaguely blitzed delivery and an ability to come up with brilliantly weird riffs on anything from the best use of pickle juice to the deficiencies of rap videos ("some of 'em say 'To Be Continued,' but they never have the second video. There's so much suspense! Are they gonna pour more champagne on these bitches or is somebody gonna bring a towel?"). The Chicago native got into comedy almost by accident ("I saw some other people, and I was like, 'These people are really bad. I can be really bad.' So I went on to be bad for a few years," he recalled recently), eventually landing writing gigs on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock. The weekly stand-up nights he hosts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn's Knitting Factory have become an always-packed hipster must-see.

I can´t speak a single word in french (ok ok, there´s "merci" and the one sentence, I think everyone knows …), so when SMX conference organizer fairy Sandra asked me about speaking at SMX Paris, I declined… But she finally got me convinced, and my girl Beccy agreed to be my personal translator for the trip
Well, I always love to speak at conferences in foreign countries, especially when I never spoke there before (I think France will be the 10th foreign country, I speak about search at).
So I´ll be one of the only non-french speakers at SMX Paris. I´ll be speaking on the "Les indicateurs de classement SEO en 2011" panel, which probably roughly translates to "Ranking Factors 2011" – a topic I´m always keen on speaking on. I´ll also sit on the "Au-delà du « Linkbuilding » habituel" panel, which hopefully has to do something with Linkbuilding – well, it just sounds awesome
So if you live in France, and have never been to a SMX show – you should definetly check it out! It´s SMX´s first stop in France, and we´ll give our best to make it a great kickoff show, and worth your while!

That number reached $7.5 million throughout the month of September, an impressive amount no matter what way you look at it. This year, Hyundai made a major donation in honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Hyundai Hope on Wheels awarded a $150,000 research grant to the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. The award was presented by Hyundai dealerships to Dr. Lara Davis, an assistant professor in the Departments of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Medical Oncology.
The OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital was just one of 10 hospitals who received the $150,000 Young Investigator Grant. The grant will be used to improve the standards of care and expand the knowledge base surrounding pediatric cancer.
The award presentation also included a Handprint Ceremony where Portland-area cancer patients and survivors put their handprint on a large canvas in commemoration of their battle.
"Our mission at Hyundai Hope on Wheels is clear: End Childhood Cancer," said Dave Zuchowski, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America.
