The neighborhoods in which we operate are near and dear to our team at The Joseph Richard Group. We place a great deal of importance on giving back to the organizations and charitable groups in our communities and we are very excited for our 7th Annual Community Day in support of hungry students in the Langley School District through the work of the Langley School District Foundation.
On Saturday, November 30th all JRG Public Houses will serve as a "community open house" from 2:30-5:30pm and our goal within those 3 hours is to raise as much money as possible in support the efforts of the Langley School District Foundation. Tickets are sold for $20.00 and includes our signature burger and a house lager.
All proceeds from ticket sales, auction items, and 50/50 raffles go to the Langley School District Foundation. In addition, our Happy Hour menu will be available the entire day for our guests to enjoy while they participate in fundraising activities.

I thought he'd come to my rescue and be like, " honey, I see you're stressed and overwhelmed, let me take her off your hands for a minute ". Instead I got some half ass " help". I don't want to start resenting him over this issue so I pray he gets his act together. My head hurts and I just need a mental break today. I can slowly feel myself burning out.

Nice… I'll stop giving feedback Leo. Even in a polite and professional manner.
<edit> 150k… much improved
Um…it was actually a response to Malachi's post…not yours…
I understand that I can host my own images, I read the directions on the page. I was fully intending to host my own images within the thread, but it wont allow me to post the thread if I dosen't include a thumbnail.
I honestly resized the thumbnail over ten times. Lowered the jpeg compression to 0, set to progressive mode at three scans… The lowest possible setting for a jpeg and the file was still 13kb. I set the file mode to grayscale, I tried to make it a gif, but it had to be a jpeg… It was at a res of 72ppi and 80x80 pixels. What else could I have possibly done to reduce the size of the thumbnail? I'm not a moron and I know how to use my software, you can be assured of that.
I'm seriously telling you, it frustrated the hell out of me.
Sorry if I'm somehow just too damn slow to figure out how to use the new uploading system. But it's not working well for me at the moment… =\
oh =D
Cheers then!
OK man I've increased it to 15KB for the thumbnail and 150KB for the image.
I may increase the dimensions if I'm in a good mood tonight…
Just edited my post above, because I hadn't read your reply when I posted it. Ok then, I shouldn't have any problems with the thumbnails now. I'll try again.
Thanks for compromising, I appreciate it.
EDIT: Thanks Xero.
I think this is a cool addition to cgtalk. The tumbnails make the Gallery much easier to browse! :applause:
How about an option that automatically downsizes any given image (if its too big) to the size required and generates a tumb?
OK guys,
I'm in the middle of coding some cool additions to it, but I'm shit hungry and haven't eaten all day. Will be back and update you in a short while…
OK folks! I got some good news. I have coded it such that you can upload an image that is up to 1280x1280 @ 150KB. The server will automatically resample the image down to fit within 680x680 (while linking to the larger image), and it will sharpen the image to accommodate for the resampling. Works like a charm here…
reallly great… also find the new image uploading syst very handy, and with the low image limit gone its really fine to use.
good to see that there has been some really good updates on the forum
How about an option that automatically downsizes any given image (if its too big) to the size required and generates a tumb?
Great idea! I think an auto-thumb feature would be awesome.

Works like a charm here…
Also very cool. This might not be so bad after all…
OK guys the problems that I see with doing the autothumb (yes I think it's cool…but I wish that it could be automated):
[li]1:1 aspect ratio. How do you convert a non square image into a square thumb?[/li][li]Subject matter. If you thumbnail a big image with lot's of detail into 80x80 at the full extents of the image, your subject matter is lost. [/li][/ul]For example…I have Linda Bergkvist's Under the Cherry Tree here:
If you autothumbnail it, it will most likely end up like this:
But if you do it manually (yourself) and crop it to your liking, you can do whatever you want to make it look good. e.g.:
I'm trying to make it easy for everyone to upload stuff guys…but there's a balance between flexibility and automation.
exelent idea ! ! !leonard
thanks for your work !! ! it's more funny !
This is very good. It's really easy to browse trough the forums.
Are you going to apply this to the other forums too? Like the WIP, but then only the resizeble thing, not the thumbs, since thumbs are kinda unintresting, since it's not finished. That could make it easier to browse trough.
I'd like to say that its really great how you put into the fourm like this leonard. Very impressed, and my first impressions are that it looks fanstastic, allthough I have not posted anything myself yet. Just need a WIP
EDIT: I think that making your own thumbnail is a heap better, and it really isnt that hard.
I think 150kb is more than enough. I have hundreds of images on my FTP which have been posted here, and they are ALL under 150kb. The usual Save For Web @ 60% Jpeg always works. And I always generate my own thumbs for my website anyway.
Sounds like the only real hassel is the form which needs filling in. And tbh that's fine by me!
Great job Leonard.
EDIT: oh and the resolution is fine too. I personally prefer NOT to post my work at the original resolution, to protect myself against fraud. A lower-res image is usually appreciated too, since it fits more comfortably in users' windows with smaller screen res, and takes less time to load for those 56k peeps out there.
Can't find anything wrong with this new system…
Just want to state that I dislike the auto thumb option simply because the entire art is viewed. Making the thumb your self gives you the option of what part to show, alowing you to create a sense of mystery.
~CG TALK~ The leader of CG forums.
Ok, once more, maybe I am on Leo's ignore list or something so he doesn't see my posts. Anyway I got some of the answers thru other comments so I'll stop whining about it
But here is an important tip for all the folks (sorry, I know 96% already know these)
For thumbnail saving:
Save your jpeg with "save for web" option instead of "save as" in Photoshop. If you do the latter, photoshop is trying to save some colorspace information and along with it some extra bits and bytes it needs (but bits and bytes -you- don't need!), hence you have a large file no matter what. You'll be surprised how high quality thumbs you can get with jpeg under 10kb's, and now 15kb's thanks to the newer specs. This I told you because one of the posters complained about not getting his thumnail under 10kb's no matter what he did, so I guess this was the cause.
Also, after scaling down for thumbnail, just use the sharpen filter (the simplest sharpen filter in photoshop) and fade it away to your liking (it needs not be too sharp)
Isn't there an option to do "save for web" and then save it as a GIF? I usually do this, and if you set it up right, you can make the quallity that "bad" that it looks pretty good, but is actually really really bad and it still looks good, YAY! This shrinks the file size down a lot and since it's only 80x80, it shouldn't be to hard to get it under 10 kb :hmm:

How I Became An Expert on Services
Things To Bear In Mind When Hiring Airport Transport Services
Ground transport services facilitate the occurrence of air transport. Leaving an airport upon arrival or going to an airport is made possible by ground transport service. Air travel would be quite impossible without ground transport services. There is, normally, a wide option on ground transport services. It is a profitable venture which has lured very many investors. Carrying out a google search on airport transport services will bring a large number of results. To filter out many irrelevant options, one has to key in the airport's name.
Before hiring airport transport services, there are certain things that should be considered. The first factor is looking up on the airport's ground transport service policy. This is due to the fact that some airports prohibit the use of certain forms of ground services. It is, therefore, advisable to check up on this beforehand. This will give you some direction towards the necessary choice of transport. Determining the cost is the next factor. Various ground transport services charge different prices. It is very important to hire services that one can pay for easily.
One should consider hiring limo services if they are luxurious travelers. There is a good number of limo services serving various airports. One has to select limo services that ply their airport route in this case. Limo services provide the comfort of the next level to their passengers. This is very convenient especially for passengers from a long flight. After such a long trip, they are able to relax due to the comfortability of limo services.
It is important to hire limo services that provide refreshments. This makes one's trip more enjoyable. There should be a wide variety of luxury rides offered by the limo service company. This gives clients the chance to pick out the ride that they love. There is an increased possibility of customer satisfaction when clients select their ride of choice. The Company should give room for clients to make adjustments before their trip. This increases the convenience of the service compared to others.
The limo service should be equipped with flight tracking devices of their clients' flight schedules. This will give them the opportunity to be on time when picking or dropping off their clients. Those going to catch a flight do not have to worry about missing their flight with the tracking service in place. Going through the customer reviews left on a limo service company is very important. This will guide you in avoiding those that offer poor quality services. One should select the transport service of their choice and that which serves their needs best.

In the coming week, China Mobile will confirm 4G LTE vendors which is long awaited by the vendor community. One will debate which vendor got what portion of the deal but one thing is sure, Chinese vendors both Huawei and ZTE will benefit a lot from the first phase of TD-LTE rollout in the country. European and American vendors like Ericsson, NSN and Alcatel-Lucent will have to be satisfied with a small portion of the deal.
The stage is set right for the 4G LTE in the country. China Mobile has a total base of 740 billion subscribers of which 3G customer stands at 137 million. Data services presently contribute around 33.5 percent of telecom services revenue which is bound to increase with 4G LTE commercialization in FY 2013-14.
The company has opted for "Four Network" stategy where the focus is to transition from a voice model to a voice + data traffic + applications model, to provide service at a resonable network cost. The focus is to take 2G, 3G (TD-SCDMA), WLAN and TD-LTE networks for providing broadband coverage, excellent quality and high speed.
In 2G, the focus is on network optimization. China Mobile has 840,000 BTS with network utilization of 72 percent. One has to see how the company can increase network optimization once 4G LTE is commercially deployed.
3G and 4G are complimentary to each other. The company's 3G strategy offers premium service by providing continuous coverage in areas with heavy network traffic through its 361,000 installed BTS base. With the deployment of 4G, one is expecting an increase in network utilization from the present 25 percent.
WLAN has maintained its leadership in network capability by carefully planning and optimizing the network for greater efficiency. In WLAN, the focus is on low cost carriage of traffic to achieve effective offload. By the end of June 2013, WLAN access points (AP) reached 4.10 million and accounting for 75 percent of data traffic but in revenue terms it contributes 2.7 percent of wireless data revenue.
For 4G LTE, the company has opted for TD-LTE technology. With respect to TD-LTE, China Mobile is planning to invest 22 percent of the total capital expenditure (RMB 190.2 billion) which comes around RMB 41.8 billion or $6.79 billion in 2013. In the first six months, the company has invested RMB 57 billion or $9.24 billion on capital expenditure.
The company is planning to deploy 200,000 LTE base stations in 2013 by providing continuous coverage in the main districts of 100 major cities in China. The company is also rigorously promoting VoLTE (voice over LTE) solution to drive industry development. On the transmission side, the company is strengthening its network resource by enhancing capacity on metro, long distance and international long distance. The company presently has 420,000 km of optic fiber cables and in the last six months, the company has increased international bandwidth by 307 GB.
On TD-LTE device front, the market has seen 25 models of trial devices. In terms of device ecosystem, 100 models are under development and 15 handset is intended for commercial use. Handset vendors have launched 28nm multi-mode and multi-frequency TD-LTE smartphones in China. In 2013, China Mobile is planning to procure more than 1 million TD-LTE devices which is bound to increase multi-fold in 2014.
The company is making vital progress on Internet of things by establishing standardized and modularized product bank and is also working on an open platform for wider acceptability.
Having done well on 3G, China Mobile will find it easy to move to 4G as sole focus is on setting up 4G LTE network. With content ecosystem in place for 3G, it would come handy for 4G but the company is accelerating deployment in areas such as intelligent voice, payment, cloud, location-based services and unified communications and also focusing heavily on mobile reading, videos, games and animation.

This is the last in our series on Talent Management.
Week One – We discussed the Importance of having a Talent Management Strategy and the benefit it can add to your business.
Week Two – We started creating your Talent Management Strategy, by identifying your Talent.
Week Three – We looked at the types of interventions needed to engage with your Talent and get them to where you need them to be, to grow and develop your business.
This week, it's about putting your plan into action.
It's easy when business is busy to focus on the here and now, delivering to your clients, making sales and ensuring that the day to day stuff happens. But only focusing on the here and now, will not get your business to grow and scale.
Remember that a wise man (Benjamin Franklin) said
"If you Fail to Plan, You Plan to Fail"
It's hard to losing a vital member of your team for a day a month, let alone more, and it may seem risky but you will reap the benefits.
The way to get your plan to work is to plan your activities and communication plan so that interventions are well spaced and allow for business as usual activities to continue.
You can provide training and staff engagement activities in 1-3 hour modules, so that they can be undertaken, first thing in the morning, at lunchtime or at the end of the day, to limit interruption.
Also, if there is essential training that all members of staff need to undertake, do it in batches, and consider train the trainer courses, so that you can deliver the training
The important is that you are communicating and engaging regularly with staff and that they know there is a plan and where they sit within it.
If you implement these steps, you will have a more engaged and motivated workforce, with reduced turnover.
A basic example plan, can be found here, it's main use is to ensure that you have a timeline that you can stick too, with not too many interventions happening at once. Once this plan has been agreed, it can be broken down into a gantt chart, to keep track of progress and critical delivery dates.

As the winter chill sets in, we at weddingvenues.com often find our minds meandering into little sun-filled daydreams… but while it's winter here it's summer down under, so here's a stunning Australian wedding to inspire us with gorgeous styling, sunny skies and an abundance of colour!
Ashleigh and Adam tied the knot in Abbotsford Convent, a characterful building with a fascinating history and National Heritage List status, set within a beautiful park in Melbourne; an oasis of tranquility in the bustling cosmopolitan city.
In February, the month of their nuptials, the average temperature in Melbourne is a very pleasant 21 degrees celsius. (Just pause for a moment and consider that info… the average temperature for the UK, by comparison, is just 7 degrees…)
When asked about what, if anything, they would do differently, the answer came back firmly, 'we really wouldn't change anything!' (Actually, Adam's first answer was, 'Can I change my wife?!' but we'll ignore that and put it down to Aussie humour!)
So, with thanks to Darin Collison, the photographer behind these fabulous photos, let's have a look at Ashleigh and Adam's wonderful wedding day, and find out how they got there:
Adam and Ashleigh originally met quite by chance, on an aeroplane as they each headed off on an adventure through Thailand. Ashleigh with her girl-friends, Adam with his lad-friends; the two groups hit it off immediately and ended up travelling together for the next three weeks. Ashleigh recalls how at this stage there was certainly no dramatic love-at-first-sight moment; more the slow, steady growth of a beautiful friendship that developed years later into romance and understanding that they were each other's perfect match.
Ashleigh and Adam have taken their time to get to know each other inside out – and it has clearly paid off! So, what is their advice for creating and maintaining a strong relationship? Keep laughing, don't let things get too serious! Also, communicating effectively with each other, listening to and respecting the other person's point of view, even if you don't agree with it. We couldn't agree with you more, Ashleigh!
When it came to the proposal, Adam popped the question in the elegant town of Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. With the ring burning a hole in his pocket all day, Adam must have been on tenterhooks for them to finish their super-long walk, get seated at their favourite restaurant… and surprise his beloved.
As she outlined the design for her wedding dress, Ashleigh had a few stipulations in mind: no to lace and anything too traditional, but yes to a really long train and a fitted form. To create a more modern look, a range of appliques and mesh fabrics were used to embellish the gown and magnificent train to stunning effect.
In considering the style of their wedding, the happy couple were determined to fill their special day with lots of bright colours, fun and energy, to reflect their personalities and relationship. The vibrant floral displays really bring this to the fore, with an abundance of complementing colours and flowers.
During the wedding photo shoot, the bride and groom each held orange smoke bomb, releasing clouds of swirling colour. This fabulous orange hue, the colour of warmth and life, is a brilliantly bohemian twist to their mix of modern and traditional styling.
For another splash of colour, the bright confetti in large, multi-coloured rounds of orange and turquoise is an energising take on the traditional pale pastel pinks and whites.
Ashleigh and her mum were inspired to add lots of individual touches to the decor, and put in many hours lovingly hand-crafting unique features; as Ashleigh explains, 'we were very hands on! From the beginning, I came up with all the concepts and then my mum and I brought them all to life over the next few months.'
One gorgeous addition to the wedding breakfast tables was the salt and pepper shakers; the mother-of-the-bride hand-painted 80 sets of oyster shells! In combination with the exquisite flower arrangements, tea light candles and hand-written table and place cards, the dining room looked sensational.
The hall at Abbotsford Convent has impressively lofty ceilings, and Adam and Ashleigh wanted to make the most of this spectacular space. An ingenious idea became reality as Ashleigh's uncle, who runs a family nursery, brought in 16 oak trees; wrapped all around with hundreds of delicate fairy lights, the effect was magical!
This bride and groom's creativity shone through the day in so many ways, as they cherry-picked the best bits of a traditional wedding day, while dispensing with others to design a truly individual celebration.
In the spirit of equality, and to honour Adam's late grandfather, both Adam and Ashleigh changed their names upon marriage. Adam and his grandfather had shared a really close bond, and in both husband and wife taking on this new shared name, they intend to keep the memory of him alive now and in the future.
Finally, what words of advice would Ashleigh offer to those brides-to-be still in the planning stages?
As she says, 'don't get too caught up in the styling of it all. People can go way, way overboard with it all but at the end of the day if you can nail all the big ticket items like the ceremony, the speeches, food and the music, no one is going to remember what colour the tablecloths were, or whether there was Aesop soap and heaps of candles in the bathrooms or not. It's really easy to get so caught up in the detail, but on the day, none of it even matters.'
We know you'd love to see more of Adam and Ashleigh's celebrations, so here are some more photos following their day from first preparations to late-night party. Enjoy!

A level 2 Bronto was attacked by a dilo and the bronto hit me by accident, and my lvl 20 trike went after it, it killed me, and it killed my trike when I was dead.(I was a noob at the time). Overall: Don't go near it while it is fighting something when you are a noob.

Beware of these if you are starter. They are not aggressive unless you hit them first. If you are a starter, DONT even think about it. A while ago, it trashed my thatch house, and tried to kill my dodos, dilophosaur and my parasaur. If you want to get rid of it, get across a river, or go further away from where you are, and then shoot it with a ranged weapon. When it comes to you, just quit and rejoin, and it wont disturb you again. They also stomp around, shake your screen and are very loud. They have loads of health and do good damage, and are a great tame if available.

They aren't hostile but if you hit one.... RUN WITH ALL YOUR DINOS!!!

I knocked out a lvl 110 with an engram lvl slingshot with A LOT of repairs and stacks and stacks of stones when I was a level 10 character. It was my first tame of that game. I stood on a ledge where he couldn't get me and ran him down when he fled!

On an ark mobile server I play on every time I log off on herb island all my tames are on neutral so they won't attack unless there attacked. But for some reason every time I'm logged off a Bronto randomly agros on my tames and it's annoying because a Bronto just killed my two pelagornis Pelacopter and Snow Owl. And the server is pve. If anyone knows what's going on please let me know
6 points Encountering
It keeps almost stepping on my hut.
This thing killed 11 of my tames... I still call it the Bronto Massacre. :(
DO NOT! And I repeat DO NOT! Steal one of their eggs when they are right next to it as a beginner because it will charge after you for quite a while and try to kill you.
If ya aggro one then just find some rocks. They hate rocks. if ya wanna ko just go to the rock formation in the southern islets. Not even a titano can hit up there. Believe me. I know from experience.
Killed all my tames carbo dilos and parasaur dont forget dodos idk why
4 points Encountering
Ascensent bow, Tranq arrow, high high ground.

If your aiming to take down a bronto get as many ranged weapons as you can and get as many ammo as you can firearms deal reasonable damage but the problem is you'll need a lot guns and bullets for this if you can't fight them run away whatever happens DO NOT GO TOWARDS YOUR HOME it'll destroy everything there and kill all your tames instead swim over a river it'll be discouraged to hunt you down or just get on a raft and bail please note that brontos will still be hunting you if your not actively piloting the raft
3 points Encountering
When trying to kill a bronto, get one normal bow, and about 50 arrows, and you should be good, the one thing is to run into a forest and every once a while shoot it until it starts catching up, then just keep running, also Spears come on handy

Unlike most other states, Florida celebrates Arbor Day on the third Friday in January.
You're not wrong to ask why.
Maybe it's because of the climate, although if we get any cold weather (under 35°F), it happens right about now.
Interesting thinking, especially if you're gonna shell out cash for a nice tree.
Where Arbor Day Came From
It should be obvious to everyone by now why trees are good.
They shade the house in the summer so that the air conditioner doesn't run all the damn time.
They provide wind breaks for other plants in the yard so they don't get all beat up.
They clean the air, the ground and the water by filtering out and breaking down pollutants.
One would have thought that people have always known that trees are good things, but at some point in the past that must not have been so evident.
That's why we have Arbor Day.
To plant more trees.
The very first Arbor Day happened on April 10, 1872, in Nebraska City, Neb., because of Julius Sterling Morton, Grover Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture and prominent Bourbon Democrat (political, economic and social conservative).
Arbor Day inaugurators planted an estimated one million trees planted that day.
If you've ever been to Nebraska and the Great Plains, then you know they didn't and don't have enough trees.
What Trees Mean
Before you make your big Arbor Day purchase, do some studying.
There are as many explanations of trees as symbols as there are cultures and religions.
Find a mythology that works for you.
Here in GreaterJax™, you can't go very far wrong with these trees:
- Bay Laurel – earth's calling and glory
- Citrus – energy, fairness and justice
- Crepe Myrtle – unity
- Cypress – heaven's calling
- Dogwood – charm and finesse
- Fig – Fertility and Good Fortune
- Ginkgo Biloba – longevity, love
- Holly – action, assertion, objectivity
- Live Oak – liberty, strength, stability, nobility
- Magnolia – dignity
- Palm – trust
- Pecan – money, employment
- Pine – vitality
- Sycamore – growth, persistance, strength and endurance
- Willow – imagination, intuition, vision
There are all kinds of places to go when you want to learn more about trees: Greenscape of Jacksonville, area garden clubs, your county Ag Extension.
Or you can ask your local Druid.

Travel Isn't for the Rich: Tips from Fellow Adventurers on Smart and Budget-Friendly Travel
Now, more than ever, seeing the world is so accessible. But most people don't know it.
Even with all the knowledge at our fingertips, there's still a preconceived notion that those who travel have hefty bank accounts. That could not be further from the truth.
I know. I newly live in the UK, where I have easy access to all of Europe for very, very cheap. However, I traveled way before living here, and I also lived in super remote, middle of no where places like Columbus, Mississippi (thanks, Air Force), 2.5 hours from the nearest airport, and Klamath Falls, Oregon (also thanks Air Force), 5 hours from the nearest airport. Even still, I was able to see new places very often, whether it was in a surrounding area or the other side of the country.
Now when I say travel, it doesn't have to mean world travel. It could mean seeing other cities within the US, or North America. Anything that gets you away from your hometown for a couple days at a time is considered travel, but for the purpose of this post, the main focus is going to be international travel on a budget, though many of the tips can be used traveling within your designated country as well.
Before I jump in: I am very well aware that there are people in certain unfortunate circumstances that - no matter how bad they wish - cannot travel or do the things they want to do, whether it'd be living below the poverty line, or having health or family issues. My heart sinks for people whose circumstances are against them. I, of course, believe that you can live a fulfilling life anywhere you are, whether or not you've seen the world. I stress about the importance of travel only as an additive to an already wonderful life. Travel is not a necessity, it is a privilege that I am very grateful for.
With that, this post is geared toward individuals who have some sort of income who have the strong desire and intention to travel, but don't necessarily have the tools or know where to start. Indeed, you do not have to be rich to see the world, but it obviously takes some money. This is a guide on how you can travel smart without having to completely wreck your bank account.
So let's get to it!
Part 1 - Getting There and Making It Happen
1. Prioritize - time, money, & PTO
Obviously, if you don't have the desire to travel, then you don't have to! Travel has the power to open one's mind, change perspectives and learn about different cultures, but it can also be stressful and draining (more on that in a different post). Travel isn't for everyone, but if you follow me, you most likely do because you like travel content.
So, if you really want to travel, but don't think you have the means, I'm here to tell you that you have to first move traveling towards the top of your priority list.
A fiery desire for adventure is a must. If you really want it, you'll make it happen. If you don't, then it'll forever be on the back burner. I totally get that you only have a certain amount of PTO, or you have family obligations. That's ok! We all do. But it's up to you to say, "this year, I want to travel to two countries, and I'm going to make it happen one way or another." You then plan your time off, you start saving, and you do the damn thing.
Think about how much money you spend that's not bills. Is it nights out? Clothes? Dinner out? That $40 shirt could be three nights in a hostel! Try cutting back on those expenses for a few months and add it to the travel bank.
2. Be Strategic with timing
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best time to buy flights. Weekends they'll skyrocket, knowing most people are browsing during their free time.
It's a good idea - if you're looking at a specific place and dates - to put an alert on the flights so you can see if they're going up or down. You can also use an app like Hopper, which not only tracks flight prices but also predicts if prices are going to increase, decrease or stay the same. It will alert you when the city you want to fly to is at its lowest.
Say you have the time and want to go somewhere, but don't know when and where. Use SkyScanner. You can put in the ideal dates you want to go and a departure city, and it will show you everywhere you can go starting from with cheapest price. This is how we discovered Majorca in Spain!
Try to be flexible with your travel dates and use that flex function on Kayak or Expedia. Prices can differentiate hundreds depending on whether you leave on a Wednesday versus a Friday.
On kayak.com (what I primarily use), keep an eye out for those green dots on the calendar when choosing dates. That means it's a steal of a price!
3. Keep your eyes peeled for budget airlines
Norwegian now flies from London to major cities in the States like Denver, LAX, SF, Oakland, NYC, Ft. Lauderdale, Seattle and Vegas - to name a few - for much cheaper than major airlines like Delta or American. My roundtrip flight, direct from London to Denver, was $400. I've seen that same route as low as $200. Likewise, my husband flew direct to LAX, a cool 11.5 hour flight, for $200 one way. See point number 2 to really work the budget airline system.
And, the best part is, once you get to London, you can get anywhere. London is one of the biggest hubs of the world (it has six airports...SIX), with cheap and quick access to Europe and beyond. UK budget airliners like EasyJet and RyanAir offer stupidly inexpensive flights to awesome cities in Europe. I literally once saw one for $10 roundtrip to Dublin.
I'm not super well versed on Asian travel (yet), but I do know that Peach, JetStar Asia, Scoot and Air Asia are good budget airlines to look out for when picking flights over there.
Also be sure to check other means of tranportation while you're at it. Obviously you need to fly to cross the ocean (unless you're taking the Chunnel across the English Channel to Paris), but when traveling short distances, compare a rental car, bus, train or bike prices before buying.
4. Apply for reputable travel credit card.
If you already use a credit card, this one's a no-brainer. Ryan and I are going to Bali in May all because of credit card points. We didn't pay a dime for flights. We have both the American Express Platinum and the Chase Safire Reserve. We mostly use the Chase here in the UK, and you get 3X the points on travel and dining. When you use your credit card for all purchases like we do, points accumulate fast. Obviously, it helps if you're a responsible credit card user.
If you or your significant other are active duty military, you can get the American Express Platinum annual fee waived, which has similar rewards. The Chase used to do this, but not anymore. We still find the benefits beyond useful, so we pay the annual fee of $495.
A bunch of my friends, including fellow world traveler Taryn (@tarynbstewart) probably has well doubled me on the amount of places she's visited due to her rewards credit card, but she started with the Chase Safire Preferred, which is much less expensive with an annual fee $95 and similar benefits to the Reserve. She now has the Reserve, but her Preferred points rolled over when she made the switch. Taryn says:
Keep in mind, Taryn works full time as a financial analyst in NYC. She's got a good paying job, but keeps extremely busy and virtually has no time at all. But her love of travel prompts her to plan her PTO months to year in advance. See point number one :)
5. Choose your destination wisely
If you're on a budget, places like Switzerland, Australia or Scandinavia - even though they're beyond lovely - are probably the least budget-friendly places to visit. I'm not exaggerating when I say we paid $40 for a burger and $11 for a cappuccino in Switzerland. While it's an extraordinary country, you may want to be prepared to spend a lot more than bargained for if this is on the top of your list.
Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Southern United States are particularly budget-friendly. While you may spend more on the transportation to get to places like SE Asia, you're going to spend next to nothing when you're there, because the US Dollar goes so far. Western Europe is naturally more expensive than Eastern, so look into places like Croatia, Slovenia, and Hungary - all beautiful countries!
6. Book hostels
When booking where to stay in your chosen destination, the absolute cheapest and best way to go is by booking a hostel. We did this the first time we traveled to Europe, and my good friend and traveler Lindsey (@lindseyhanson_) managed to live off of $20 per day when she embarked on a 5 month post-grad journey through Australia, SE Asia and Europe, all because she saved so much money booking hostels.
There are different tiers of hostels you can book (not so nice to comfortable). In Europe, hostels range anywhere from $10 to $30 a night depending on where and how nice it is. Asia is even cheaper, with hostels averaging $7 a night. Whether or not you prioritize comfort over budget when choosing a place is completely up to you!
Hostels are also an amazing way to meet new people. Lindsey traveled solo for much of her journey, and was able to feel safe in hostels with other likeminded travelers. We met tons of people from all over the world through ours, and hostels also typically have group/discounted rates to a lot of organized activities in that particular destination.
I am also a huge fan of AirBnb, if you haven't already noticed from my travel diary entries. While it tends to be more expensive, if you have a group to split an entire place with or have the extra cash I highly recommend it. You won't find places nearly as unique as other people's homes, and it really adds to the experience. In addition, if you don't think it's too awkward, many people offer a private room in their house for much cheaper (around $40 a night), which, in my experience, has been way more comfortable with many more amenities. Be sure the place has great reviews first! Superhosts are also a plus.
Part 2 - Watching your Wallet Once You're There
So you finally made it to your destination and you want to have a good time while still not breaking the bank. Lindsey has a good point - try to find travel buddies who also want to save money (good travel buddies in general are also good). You can still get a great and fulfilling experience on a budget! Here are a couple quick tips:
- Withdraw a set amount for the day and only spend that cash (be sure to store it safely).
- Take free walking tours! These are all over Europe and are a great way to see the city.
- Eat locally. Street vendors and quick bites to get you through the day are great ways to save. Be sure to look up reviews and make sure the street food is clean and reputable (unless you want Montezuma's Revenge). Avoid touristy restaurants - those are the ones usually right near a well-known landmark, and almost always rack up the prices.
- Rent a city or motor bike to get around (they cost $10 a day in places like Bali)
- Be a bit spontaneous. Part of the fun is to do things based on what you're feeling in that moment. You can usually book a hostel the day you arrive and the prices don't change. It may even be cheaper! So if you're flexible, go with the flow and see what is the least expensive and fun option for you in that moment.
- Prioritize. Again, what's more important? Souvenirs or experiences? Maybe you want that woven basket but you also know you want that famous kabob around the corner. There's no right answer, but choosing to put your money in the right places will ensure you don't waste a dime.
- Read travel blogs. I hope mine helps you a bit, but since I'm relatively new, there are several helpful resources out there that go beyond Trip Advisor and Google Reviews. Travel bloggers tend to have more of an inside scoop on the do's and don't's of a location because they do it for a living.
Whether you're a CEO or serving at your local Mexican restaurant, travel can be for everyone. Budget traveling simply takes a bit more thought, commitment and time, but the experience is surely worth it.
The Earth is your oyster,
Special thanks to Taryn and Lindsey for sharing their wisdom!

I was considering the TG-5 or DC2000 and was hoping to get people's advice on these 2 cameras, or perhaps another camera that I have not considered. Thank you very much!

I recently went back with my ex who I had been with for 5 years and he dumped me. We were apart for 2 years and now we are together again. I know he doesn't love me but I love him and that's ok with me. He does respect me and we have a lot of great times together. I feel there is a lot more to a relationship than love.

Vijay Deverakonda is on the way to becoming a star hero with his back to back hits. The sensational hit of 'Arjun Reddy' gave him the push he needed and massively increased his market. Now, the expectations for his upcoming movie Geetha Govindam are sky high. The posters, first single and teaser clicked extremely well with the audience and increased the hype. Even the buzz about this film in overseas is quite high. A gamble made by a distributor in overseas is now working big time.
There is an overseas distributor who came forward to buy the overseas rights of 'Geetha Govindam' even before the release of Arjun Reddy.
He reportedly paid Rs. 1.5 crores for the rights which is a pretty handsome deal considering Vijay Deverakonda's market before Arjun Reddy. After the huge blockbuster of Arjun Reddy, Vijay shot up to fame and now has a big market. The overseas market of him is also very high and the local buyers are showing interest to pay huge amounts for the rights. The distributor's luck worked well and is now making fortunes with the film.

Which free online dating site is the best
It feels like the site is geared toward people who have been unlucky with love in the past, which offers a sliver of hope to those who claim to be "forever alone. BookofMatches This site is also known as BoM. Hinge literally labels itself the relationship app, or as I prefer, the "anti Tinder. POF was among the first online dating sites and as such, they have been able to refine the site to up user experience. But Hinge isn't meant for constant swiping — and everyone I know who uses Hinge including myself hasn't ever felt the need to upgrade past the free version.
Finding the right dating site can be a challenge.
Best Online Dating Sites – Comparing Free vs. Paid Subscription Sites
Fake profiles are just a fact of life on free dating sites, as well as an increased number of individuals on the sites that are only there to cause harm. Hinge Hinge offers dating features that no other app has. Which is more important to you, sex or true love? Moreover, there were no dating apps. Though they are the oldest of the dating sites, they've kept up with the times and recently added a mobile platform with features like user stories. In addition, you will be getting a simple to use interface that allows you to have multiple conversations with multiple people at a time.

What a Sunday it was.
And no, I'm not talking about the Red Sox grabbing a win. Or the Celtics showing that they can actually play basketball in their playoff opener. I'm not even talking about the epic return of Game of Thrones (although I was on the edge of my seat the whole time).
Nope, none of that. I'm talking about Tiger Woods taking his rightful place at the top of the golf world after winning The Masters for the first time since 2005.
As someone who plays golf regularly and someone who got into golf almost entirely because of Tiger Woods, it was quite a day for me. I personally had been saying for the past six months or so, ever since Tiger won The Tour Championship last September, that Tiger was going to win The Masters this year. Having watched his game progress over the past year-plus since returning from his fourth back surgery, it just seemed like all signs were trending toward this. Thankfully for the game of golf, I was right.
It's no secret that golf is a tough game to market to the masses. It costs a lot to get equipment, it costs a lot to play and it's the hardest game on Earth. And that's without even mentioning the fact that it hasn't always been a very welcoming sport for minorities, whether they be people of color, women or people of lesser means. But then Tiger Woods came along in the late '90's and lit the world on fire with his stellar play, his fierce competitiveness and his utter domination of the game.
He inspired an entire generation of new golfers who wanted to be just like him, and some of those fans who grew up following Woods are now competing against him on the PGA Tour. Tony Finau, who was in the final group with Woods in the final round Sunday, admitted that he decided at seven years old that he wanted to play golf after seeing Tiger dominate at The Masters in 1997. A number of current PGA Tour professionals have expressed similar notions. Woods also, by becoming a massive global superstar, helped grow the game around the world by bringing more sponsors — and in turn more money — into tournaments and other "grow the game" initiatives.
Now, Tiger's going to inspire yet another new generation of golfers.
There's no way around it, the guy just moves the needle. Sure, he's not at the top of his game anymore. He no longer outdrives every other golfer by 35 yards like he did in his prime (he's currently tied for 51st in driving distance on the PGA Tour this year). He doesn't even sink clutch putts at the same rate he did back in the early to mid-2000s. But what he does do is compete in the biggest tournaments on the biggest stages, and now that he's healthy again he's going to continue to contend in every single one of them.
That's going to bring in new golf fans. The Masters was the No. 1 trend on Twitter in the United States during (and just after) Tiger's win Sunday. The television ratings were the highest for any golf event in the past 34 years — yes, that includes Tiger's run of domination. No offense to the multitudes of talented golfers on Tour, but Brooks Koepka isn't the reason for that. Neither are the likes of Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler or Dustin Johnson. There's only one person who's responsible for that, and that's Tiger Woods.
And he's not done by a long shot. After his win at The Masters, Tiger's now the No. 6 ranked golfer in the world. He's currently the odds-on favorite to win the PGA Championship next month at Bethpage Black — a course where he won the 2002 U.S. Open. He'll likely be one of the favorites at this year's U.S. Open in June at Pebble Beach — a course where he demolished the field and won by 15 shots at the 2000 U.S. Open.
Here's the bottom line — Tiger Woods is back, and there's no stopping him now.

Feeling different this month I have this weird burning sensation in my womb/pelvic area. N slight back ache. For the past 8 months my cycles have gone from normal 28day to the day to 40, 37, 31 etc.. and i havent been bleeding my normal 5 days, 2days medium flow then dissapeares, I guess that's my new cycle pattern now. so I think this is the first month I actually released an egg, i came on 28days again, I felt one sided pain and back ache that I haven't felt in along time. Just trying to find a tww group or cycle buddy or maybe someone that has conceived after cycles going AWOL. so excited waiting, I have even dreamt me and OH (other half) looking at a positive test. But I have also been worrying I'll have twins again which will make me jump from 3 -5. I'm going to test this Sunday and next Thursday.

Dearest Mommy, When you wonder the meaning of life and love Know that I am with you Close your eyes and feel me kissing you in the gentle breeze across your cheek When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again Quiet your mind and hear me I am in the whisper of the heavens Speaking of your love When you lose your identity When you question who you are where you are going Open your heart and see me I am the twinkle in the stars smiling down upon you Lighting the path for your journey When you awaken each morning Not remembering your dreams But feeling content and serene Know that I was with you Filling your night with thoughts of me When you linger in the remnant pain Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar Think of me Know that I am with you Touching you thru the shared tears of a gentle friend Easing the pain As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky In that breathtaking brilliance, awaken your spirit Think of our time together, all too brief, but ever brilliant When you were certain of us, together When you were certain of your destiny Know that God created that moment in time, Just for us I am with you always.

The man who led the SPP between 1990 and 1996 writes that early in 2009, when Liviu Dragnea was Minister of Internals for 10 days, the current leader of PSD was opened a criminal file in order to be obedient to the secret service. Iliescu reveals that Dragnea resigned in 2009 after a discussion with him.
Dumitru Iliescu, who was a Presidential Adviser on national security issues during the last mandate of Ion Iliescu, writes that what happens these days to Liviu Dragnea is not by chance, being a target of the system. "Him as other notable PSD leaders, both central and local, have been permanent targets of the secret service, which acted and act today according to a well-developed plan," writes Iliescu on his socialization page.
A file was opened for Liviu Dragnea initially without criminal proceedings.
He reveals that in early 2009, when Dragnea was appointed Minister of the Internals, he was under fantastic pressure from the secret service. "Of course you ask what determined Mr. Dragnea to retire from the post of Minister of Internals, after 10 days of taking over this portfolio. Before he appointed him, Mr. Basescu called him at Cotroceni where he has put several conditions, including the appointment of persons, approved by him, leading MAI. Although Mr. Dragnea initially accepted the conditions, the leadership of SRI, for more security asked some prosecutors in DNA, to reopen him two criminal cases, with facts of corruption, which had been resolved earlier with NUP (without criminal proceeding). I was informed of this operation by a person from SRI, presenting also evidence in this regard. I've informed them about the situation on Mr. Geoana and Mr. Adrian Nastase, whom Mr. Dragnea had a close relationship. Mr. Năstase suggested me to have a discussion with Mr. Dragnea. I met with him in a protocol salon at the Senate, and I reported what action he was prepared. I told him that I am not the one who decides what to do, but him, which at that time had available the tools with which to verify the veracity of the information received," argues former director of SPP.
He returned to Telelorman to escape the pressure
Apparently after this discussion and after having checked whether the information is real, Dragnea chose to submit his resignation from the leadership of the Ministry of the Internals and returned as leader of the Teleorman County Council, to lower the interest of the System in relation to himself and his entourage. "After he documented in relation to the matter discussed, Mr. Dragnea decided what you know, citing, elegantly, the inadequacy of the funds allocated to the Ministry, which is in fact real, and which had a significant importance in shaping his choice" writes Dumitru Iliescu.
Dragnea is now pressed according to the same scenario from 2009
He thinks that the same type of pressure is subdued now the leader of PSD, the main actors being the secret services. "I don't know if the facts imputed are real or manufactured, if they are partly true and partly manufactured, but it turns out that the main players are the same, i.e. secret service. Not coincidentally, I sent a message on Facebook to Mr. Dragnea, before the censor motion, in which I recommend him to find a solution to settle the differences with Mr. Grindeanu, warning him that otherwise he can head to the political bankruptcy" writes Iliescu.
Soros' foundations are coordinated by the Services
Former SPP director speaks in his posting about the allegations made by Dragnea to George Soros and says that behind the Foundations financed by the American billionaire also stand the Romanian Secret Services. "Mr. Dragnea is mad at George Soros and his foundations, which, what's right, are financed by him, but he does not coordinate them, but those people from the secret services, which he sponsored and made loyal in all these years and that execute unconditionally what orders are transmitted in his name and not only of his own" argues Iliescu.
He appeals to SRI to retreat from the political game
He believes that SRI is involved in the Act of Justice and political games. "I hope that the new director of SRI, which seems to make other policy than his predecessors, to take the necessary measures. Also I hope that the policy makers, to leave the state of severe visual and auricular handicap and to intervene more determined to put things in their natural order" writes Iliescu. His posting ends with a trenchant message: "remove the secret services from the political game!"

In a recent article in The Spectator magazine in the UK, the evangelical leader Patrick Sookhdeo takes a swipe at Muslims and their religion. Does his case stand up to scrutiny? Patrick Sookhdeo's article (July 30, 2005) in London's The Spectator, "The Myth of a Moderate Islam" reflects a dangerous trend in the war on terror. Under the guise of informing Westerners about Islam, he is in fact spreading the very same disinformation that anti-Islamic polemics have been based upon for over 1,000 years. This plays directly into the hands of Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and others, for it encourages the "clash of civilizations" they so appallingly desire. It is indeed of the utmost importance that we learn more about Islam and fight the scourge of extremism with all the tools possible. But Sookhdeo and those like him corrupt this process, seeking to advance their own agenda by turning the war on terror into an ideological war against Islam.
The Apotheosis Of Jesus Of Nazareth
A special "gift" for the Christian missionaries on occasion of Good Friday. I wish to show by an analysis of Wisdom Christology in Matthew's gospel chapter 23, that the evangelist took the dramatic step of changing Jesus' metaphysical status from creature to Creator by altering the Q tradition, and to reflect on the theological implications of this metamorphosis for Christianity, and where we go from here.
Islam And Co-Existence
The Interfaith Coalition of Nashville organized this year's interfaith conference in the Vanderbilt University, Nashville, USA. Judaism was represented by Dr. Donna Whitney, Christianity by Dr. Tom Davis, Hinduism by Dr. Howard J. Resnick (HD Goswami), and Buddhism by Professor Win Myint. Dr. Habib Siddiqui represented Islam. This is the transcript of his speech on Islam.
The conference was opened by Dr. Jawaid Ahsan. Dr. Charles Hembrick, Professor Emeritus of Religion at Vanderbilt University, moderated the conference.
Hans Kung's Theological Rubicon
In Hans Kung's address to this conference he has once again proven himself a pioneer of interreligious dialogue. What he has been doing throughout most of his theological career, he was doing again-exploring new territory, raising new questions in the encounter of Christianity with other religions. Although Kung made his greatest contribution in the inner-Christian, ecclesial arena, he has always realized-and increasingly so in more recent years-that Christian theology must be done in view of, and in dialogue with, other religions. As he has said, Christians must show an increasingly "greater broad-mindedness and openness" to other faiths and learn to "reread their own history of theological thought and faith" in view of other traditions. As a long-time reader of Kung's writings, and as a participant with him in a Buddhist-Christian conference in Hawaii, January 1984, I have witnessed how much his own broad-mindedness and openness to other religions has grown. He has been changed in the dialogue.
The Influence Of The Pauline Epistles Upon The Gospels Of The New Testament
Christians believe that Paul of Tarsus is the 'Apostle' of Jesus(P), whom he met in a vision on his journey to Damascus. Paul is also claimed to be the author of the Epistles to the Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon and Hebrews. It is therefore strange that this self-confessed 'Apostle' of Jesus Christ fails to pay more attention to the words of Jesus (P) himself in his epistles. To what extent has the Pauline letters shaped the selection of the gospels of the New Testament as canon today? This article will examine the evidence and present its conclusions on the matter, insha'allah.

Careful management of cash flow is paramount to any business. But for start-ups, the threat of erratic cash flow can bring a company to its knees before it has got going.
Cash flow is a key indictor of your company's financial health, and even if you don't consider yourself to have a head for numbers it is important to keep a keen eye on what's coming in and going out.
Here are some tips on how to facilitate positive cash flow in your business:
1.Create a budget
Thoroughly estimate expected cash inflows and outflows, taking into consideration, timescales, sales cycle, discounts, and any other factors that may affect the timing of incoming cash. It is also important to identify any other outgoings, such as stock, wages, equipment, raw materials and taxes. This can be a particularly daunting and complicated process for new businesses, but there are templates available on the Internet for free that can help you keep a handle on things. If you can afford it, there are now excellent book-keeping software packages on the market to simplify the process.
2.Know what you owe
Make sure you are always on top of what you owe and your invoice deadlines. Come up with a minimum amount of cash you need in the bank to be able to meet these demands (and still have some left over) and get into the mindset that the cash can never drop below this amount. This way you will always be left with something should money owing to you not come in on time.
3.Invoice early
It's not very often your invoices are going to be paid early, in fact most invoices end up being paid late. To prevent this having a negative effect on your cash flow, send out your invoices early. This way you've got more chance of collecting the money when you need it. Even better, bill upfront if you can. This will ensure you are in a strong position financially.
4.Be firm when chasing invoices
Create a template for chasing up overdue invoices. Keep it polite so as not to create any bad feeling between you and your contractors or customers, but make sure the message gets across clearly. Having a regimented process in place will show continuous late payers that you won't stand for persistently lateness, therefore encouraging them to pay up what's owed sooner rather than later.
5.Make your payment systems foolproof
Sometimes a late payment could simply be down to complicated payment methods, so they just keep putting it off and eventually it becomes overdue. Remember that everyone's busy, and having a simple payment system could be the key to getting paid on time. Maybe offer electronic payments, payments through PayPal or by credit card, for ease on both sides.
6.Don't forget about your tax bill
Make sure you're not knocked off track by a huge unexpected tax bill. Ask for help from your accountant in estimating your tax, or use accounting software to calculate VAT. Always put slightly more cash aside than you need to make sure you cover your back, should any miscalculations occur.
7.Pay your bills on time
You don't want to find yourself caught in in the middle of a payment war by paying bills late just because you weren't paid on time yourself. If contractors find themselves strapped for cash, you're more likely to be one of the ones that gets paid if you have maintained a consistently good payment history with them. Aim to build positive financial relationships wherever you can.
8.Don't buy too much stock
Unless you're getting a particularly good deal of the purchase of stock or other materials, don't get into the habit of over stocking. There's no point tying up cash that could go to better use, or provide as a safety net if you encounter any bumps in the road. Excesses stock might also end up going to waste, should its market value decrease while it remains unsold.
9.Have a back up plan
Effective management of cash flow doesn't always go to plan, so it's important to have a contingency plan. Work with your business advisor to establish other quick possible sources of income, should the need arise for a speedy cash injection.
If you have a business idea or have just started a business and are confused by the financials, call 0191 516 6102 or email email@example.com to find out how we can help.

USCIS increased fees/
As of December 23, USCIS has increased fees on certain applications
USCIS Fee increase by Pieter Speyer on Scribd
Check your Priority Date/
Work Permits for Asylum Applicants/
USCIS Increases Validity of Work Permits to Two Years for Asylum Applicants
How to travel outside the USA with an expiring or expired Green Card./
Legal Permanent residents (LPR's) with expiring (within six months) or expired Green Cards must file an I-90 with USCIS. However, at times Permanent Residents with a pending I-90 may have to travel outside the USA.
How long will it take to receive my new Green Card?
As of June 30, 2016. The USCIS National Benefits Center are currently working on cases with a receipt date of January 1, 2016.
How does a Permanent Resident lawfully re-enter the USA without a renewed Green Card?
Usually, unless travel is not for emergency reasons, LPR's should wait until they have received their new card. However, if one does need to travel, a LPR may request an I-551 stamp in their valid foreign passport (Note: please speak to a reputable immigration attorney first before travel, to verify there are no other legal issues: like a criminal history).
A I-551 stamp will be issued at a local USCIS office by first scheduling an InfoPass appointment and may be valid for six to twelve months.
How does one obtain a I-551 stamp in their passport?
- Schedule an InfoPass appointment with USCIS
- Currently have a I-90 pending, bring a copy of your I-90 receipt notice and ASC biometrics appointment, indicating that fingerprints have already been taken.
- Bring your Valid foreign passport to your InfoPass appointment.
- Proof of residence within the jurisdiction of the USCIS office.
- Copy of your Green Card.
- Documents supporting your intention to travel.
Please use our contact us form if you have a concern regarding your case.
Is your DACA expiring soon?/
Take a look at your work permit and check the expiration date...
Is it less than 150 days?
If yes, you should seek to renew your DACA and work permit as soon as possible to avoid processing delays. Normally, it takes anywhere from 2-4 months to renew a DACA. Filing early ensures your current work permit does not expire while waiting for the renewal.
Make sure you file on time.
Submit your renewal request between 150 days and 120 days before the expiration date listed on your current work permit.
Correctly submit all required forms and fees.
USCIS will reject your renewal request unless you properly submit:
- Form I-821D, Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals;
- Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization;
- Form I-765 Worksheet; and
- Required fees of $465
Avoid processing delays. Be sure to submit:
- Any new documents and information related to removal proceedings or criminal history that you have not already submitted to USCIS in a previously approved DACA request,
- Proof of advance parole if you have traveled outside the United States since you filed your last DACA request that was approved; and
- Proof of any legal name change.
Respond to Requests for Evidence. USCIS may deny your renewal request if you do not respond to a Request for Evidence in a timely manner.

Paramount Pictures is the studio responsible for hit films such as "The Wolf Of Wall Street," "Titanic," and the "Transformers" franchise, as well as TV shows like "Glee."
While most studios shoot their projects off-site, the majority of Paramount's projects are filmed right on the historic studio lot that still functions today in the heart of Hollywood.
The studio offers tours for film and TV buffs, and we took the most intensive one available — "an in-depth, insider's experience, which includes access to Hollywood history and magic unavailable to the general public."
Four and a half hours later, here is everything we saw. As promised, it was magical.
Behold the iconic gates guarding Paramount Pictures -- the oldest surviving studio still located in Hollywood.
This is what's known as 'The Bronson Gate,' which at one time was the main entrance to the studio. Many visitors ask if the gate was named for actor Charles Bronson, but it's actually the other way around: Bronson named himself after the gate!
Near the entrance is a screening theatre where Michael Bay watched 'Transformers' 31 times to tweak it before release.
The studio also displays the actual bench on which Tom Hanks muses 'life is like a box of chocolates' in 'Forest Gump.' Years later, Tom Hanks came back to sit on this bench and pass out chocolates to Paramount employees.
Here's the courtyard where they often film 'Community' and 'Glee.' Inside the buildings are actual offices.
There is a large warehouse where sets are constructed on-site for shows like 'Glee' and 'Rizzoli and Isles.' Dozens of sets are being worked on at a time.
Stage 18 is where most of Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' was filmed. The large studio doors are called 'Elephant Doors.'
This special printer can print on any material, including a 2-inch wood door. The ink dries immediately.
Fake brand names are often used in films to save costs. The products are printed here but must look 20-30% different from the original branding.
The iconic water tower is 150 feet tall but no longer contains water. Sometimes actors are dared to climb it. It once took Michael Keaton 20 minutes to get up but an hour to get down.
This parking lot can be filled with water to film ocean scenes. It takes 950,000 gallons of water to fill it.
Sets on site are often made to look like other cities, such as New York. Sprinklers on top of buildings create rain.
These buildings are supposed to resemble New York's SoHo neighbourhood. 'Ghost' and 'Vanilla Sky' have been filmed on these streets.
Each production is responsible for everything from choosing door knobs to which trees they want to use.
This police station is currently used in 'Rizzoli and Isles,' but in the past was featured on 'The Addams Family.'
This building was the exterior of Angelina Jolie's office entrance in 'Mr. And Mrs. Smith.' It was also used to create the Financial District in 'Transformers.'
Stage 25 is known as the 'lucky stage' because long-running shows 'I Love Lucy,' 'Cheers,' and 'Frasier' all shot on it.
The archive room stores props and costumes from past Paramount films -- like Tom Cruise's leather jacket he wore in 2005's 'War of the Worlds.'
But at night, the studio often turns into a party scene -- hosting events for their many TV and film projects, such as 'The Newsroom.'

text: I'm doing my own review site. No ads, no sponsors, just reviews. Don't make any money off of it. If I find a game interesting I use the Support link through iTunes and tell the dev/publisher I'd like to review the game in exchange for a promo code. So I've gotten a few codes this way. Reviews take 20-30 minutes to write up, probably longer, and most games I'm interested in are $1-$3, so I'm doing this out of love... one hour of OT at work would cover 10 games or so, instead of 5 hours. So I found the first game I really dislike. I wouldn't recommend that game to anyone (I haven't written the review yet, so there's no point to go and look ). I'm deleting it as soon as I finish the review. And it's not a $1 game. How do you do reviews for games you dislike? I of course can't say I liked it just because I got a promo code because the site will lose all credibility and what good is a review site without credibility. I thought of writing the review and emailing it to the dev and asking him/her whether they wanted me to publish it (I feel I should do a review because I promised one). I don't know if that's underhanded, though. What do you all other reviewers do?
