But the borough made a concerted effort to get it repaired by Memorial Day and Governor Chris Christie came to get a firsthand look at the finished product.
"Thanks for coming to town," he said. "I told you I'd be back. I'm like a bad relative, you know?"
Christie shook hands and joked with locals as he walked down Lavallette's new $1.3 million boardwalk.
His visit will help get the word out that come Memorial Day, all of the borough's beaches will be open, as well as 95% of its businesses.
"This is the first symbol for us of making sure this week that everybody across the state, across the region and across America knows that the Jersey shore is open for the summer and ready to receive our customers," Christie said, to a big round of applause.
Christie spoke before a welcoming crowd of several hundred, including local school children, who came to watch as the final nails were driven into the boardwalk.
75% of the construction will be paid for by FEMA. To help defray costs, the borough is offering a "Buy a Board" program, where for $250 you can have a name or message carved into one of the boards.
1400 people bought a board, generating $350,000.
"I've been coming down here all my life," said Walter Jacobsen, "and I just think it's the greatest place to be in New Jersey, and I just l just love it!"
"Everyone's very excited that it's all come together and everything's opening up, all the businesses coming back," said Dana Magno.
The Music Man Singing Ice Cream Shoppe on Grand Central Avenue is one of them.
"We had 4 feet of water in our place alone so we had to completely renovate," said Jeremy Sickles, who works there. "We have a whole new layout."
Displaced Brick resident Tricia McAvoy was holding a sign that simply read "hope."
"We need hope because we've come back so far, but there's stil a lot of work to be done," she said.
Lavallette is right next door to Ortley Beach, which was devastated in the storm.
"There were a lot of people who were reluctant to come here because of the images they see on their way in to Lavallette," said the borough's mayor, Walter Lacicero. "So it's been a struggle to convince people we're open for business and ready to go here."
Officials here hope people will see that large parts of the shore are indeed ready for business and that they'll come back this year, just as they have every other summer.

Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease that primarily affects cattle, but can be transmitted to other animals. APHIS is working cooperatively with producers, states partners and the industry to eradicate this disease from the United States.
In the News
Bovine TB: Signs and Symptoms
TB is difficult to diagnose because in the early stages of the disease, clinical signs may not be present. When clinical signs do become apparent in the later stages of the disease.
What Should I Do If I Suspect TB in My Herd?
If you suspect TB in your herd, you should isolate the affected animal immediately and contact your veterinarian for the correct diagnosis. To contact the Area Veterinarian in Charge for your State, please click here.
How Can I Keep My Herd TB-Free?
Biosecurity is the key to keeping your animals healthy and TB-free.
TB Listening Sessions
From December 8-16, 2008, a series of public meetings formatted as listening sessions was held to bring various stakeholders together to discuss challenges and new approaches for TB control methods and eradication in the United States.
Please submit your written comments about the current challenges and new approaches for future TB control and eradication to firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's the little details that bring impact & photorealism to your artworks, but with so much detail how can you possibly know where to start?
Learn the textures required to add realism to your artworks! This tutorial shows the figure 8 texture for skin, lateral textures (moving), micro shapes and hair textures!
Airbrushing for Realism
before we get started it's important to realise that there are two ways of creating textures and each can be found by asking yourself the following question;
Is the texture you're creating light over dark, or dark over light?
For the sake of learning more rapidly we are going to abbreviate these.
DOL texture = Dark over light
LOD texture = Light over dark
The easiest way to tell the type of texture that you need to create is to look at the shape that you are to blend your texture out of & ask yourself;
Is it a DOL shape or LOD?
When creating your airbrush Textures, focus on your height and intensity of paint flow to ensure you are recreating the texture exactly as you see in your reference.
- Increased height will soften textures.
- Decreased height will sharpen textures.
- Increased intensity will sharpen textures.
- Decreased intensity will also soften textures.
Like any of the textures in airbrushing, you should first lay down the shape that you see, only then should you begin blending your textures out from that.
All of the textures pictured within these tutorials are DOL.
The Figure 8 Texture
The most widely used airbrush texture!
The figure 8 texture was taught to me by a man named Paul, a movie makeup professional and one of the founders of MEG Make up Effects Group, Australia's leading movie make up company.
The idea of the texture is to imitate skin & for best results it is used on a 3D surface, however it is extremely common in artworks using both LOD & DOL textures.
This texture is created very easily but can be a little tricky to get the hang of.
While holding the airbrush around 2.5 inches (7cm) from the canvas, relax your wrist and begin moving the very tip of the airbrush in a figure 8 motion – but only a small motion, you want your figure 8 to be be able to fit on a dime!
As you continue to repeat this figure 8 motion, pull back very slightly for paint.
The opacity of the texture you're creating determines how far you pull back for paint.
As you see the paint hit the canvas, offset the next figure 8 to one side & continue to offset each consecutive figure 8.
When you feel comfortable enough doing this motion, begin to speed up your movement, concentrate more on the texture that you are creating and let your wrist relax. Increase your speed until the result that you are getting looks exactly the same as picture above.
Remember – the size of the texture you're airbrushing is determined by your height and intensity of spray (how much you're pulling back for paint).

Posted on Why does Laguna Tools have so many unhappy customers ?
915 posts in 3038 days
#1 posted 06-11-2012 10:30 PM
This post is one of the main reasons why I enjoy this site.
I am looking at purchasing a bandsaw soon. I read about Laguna's in a couple of magazines and considered purchasing their bandsaw. But guess what? I damn sure won't now. I figure if you spend a pretty good chunk of change, you are owed some customer service. If Laguna doesn't give a rat's behind about customer service, this customer will take his money elsewhere.
Thanks for helping weed out a company I am surely not interested in now.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Domestic violence charges have been dropped against former Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis, court papers showed on Thursday.
Davis, 28, was charged with simple assault and attempted threats to do bodily harm because of an altercation in June with a former girlfriend at a Washington restaurant.
Davis had been scheduled to appear in District of Columbia Superior Court on Thursday for a status hearing. Online records show the charges were dismissed on Wednesday.
Davis, a second-round draft pick from the University of Southern California, played for the Redskins for six years. He was suspended indefinitely in February by the National Football League for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Spay/Neuter Program
• In 1995 the Morris Animal Refuge initiated its Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program. Extending this very important Program will go a long way to helping resolve the extensive animal population problem right here in Philadelphia metropolitan area. Responsible Pet Ownership is a key goal in this area. The number of pet owners participating has increased each year. Since 1995, the Refuge has issued more than 10,000 Spay/Neuter Certificates.
• Thanks to the generosity of friends who share the Refuge's concern about animal overpopulation and abandonment in the Philadelphia Region, and with annual grants from The Animal Rescue League of Philadelphia, Morris has become a community leader in this initiative.
• The Program, which covers animals located only in the Greater Philadelphia Region, provides low-cost certificates for only $40 each for cats, $40 each for rabbits, and an incredibly low $60 each for dogs, to those pet owners who could not otherwise afford these procedures. The certificates are then presented to participating veterinarians before the procedure. The Refuge reimburses, at a charitable rate, the veterinarian for the difference in cost.
• Payment for the Spay/Neuter Certificate fee can be made in cash or with credit/debit cards. Once you come into the Refuge and pay the fee you get the Morris Spay/Neuter Certificate good at all participating veterinarians. We will give you a list of these veterinarians at the time you purchase the certificate or you can download the MAR Participating Veterinarian List in Adobe Acrobat® pdf format, which you can print on any inkjet or laser printer. You can download a free copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader® here.
• The next step is up to you - to make an appointment at your convenience with the participating veterinarian of your choice. The participating veterinarian will accept the certificate as payment in full.
• If there are no participating veterinarians in your immediate area, and your local veterinarian is willing to participate in our program, please ask your vet to call our office for more information and to enroll in the program.
• If you are able, please help us to continue this important program with your donation to the Refuge. Visit our Donate page, and clarify that you want your donation to go to the Low Cost spay/Neuter Program. We thank you in advance for your donation, and you can be proud to say that you are directly helping to resolve the animal overpopulation problem right here in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area.

Adam Kupperman – "40 Under 40" Honoree
Adam Kupperman, Vice President & Head of ONESOURCE Firm Edition at Thomson Reuters was recently recognized by CPA Practice Advisor as a 2012 "40 Under 40" Honoree. This program is designed to highlight young professional leaders that have demonstrated their commitment to innovation and are shaping the future of tax & accounting.
Adam was asked to share some information with CPA Practice Advisor. Here is a peek at his responses.
Click here for the full 40 Under 40 ebook.
Q. Have you embraced cloud computing?
A. I am and have always been a strong proponent of cloud computing and have been supporting this technology delivery model since the day I started working with the CPA profession. The notion of software as a service and infrastructure as a service are compelling on so many labels. Cloud computing allows for anytime/anywhere accessibility, robust security, disaster recovery, and tremendous cost savings for a firm that truly embraces this model. Thinking of technology not as products but as a service is without question the future for our profession and others. Our suite of holistic tax compliance and workflow solutions are entirely cloud-based.
Q. What ONE piece of technology could you absolutely not live without?
A. My knee jerk response would be my iPhone or iPad for the obvious reasons of being connected to work and having access to information and my media; however, I would have to say the piece of technology that I can't live without still remains to be my TV.
Q. Not including your current employer, what company do you most admire and why?
A. Without question I would have to say Apple because of its ability to transform itself. Apple reinvented itself years ago and continues to change the game with its innovative consumer products. While I have been a PC advocate, I have become infatuated with Apple's technologies including its AppleTV and iPhone – and most recently the iPad.

Darwin is the gateway to the 'Top End' and boasts the best lifestyle in Australia. A cultural melting pot, Darwin is a vibrant city influenced by many cultures around the world. It's who we are and we love our uniqueness!
As locals we're happy to share some of the best things to do in Darwin!
1Enjoy Spectacular sunsets
Watch the sun set into the Arafura Sea accompanied by your favourite beverage at one of the Darwin clubs and cafes.
Visit the Darwin Sailing Club, the Darwin Trailer Boat Club and the Nightcliff Foreshore for some of the best vantage points, and don't forget to take your camera!
Street food, trinkets, sarongs, fortune tellers, aboriginal art and music – Markets are 'the' thing to do whilst you're in the Top End.
- Parap Village Markets – Saturday mornings, year round
- Nightcliff Markets – Sunday mornings, year round
- Rapid Creek Markets – organically grown produce, year round
- Mindil Markets – Thursday & Sunday nights, late April – October. Famous for its stunning sunsets, Mindil Beach is the place to go to tick that off your bucket list. On market nights, thousands of people descend on the beach to watch the sun dip into the Arafura Sea. Don't be surprised if the crowd cheers when the sun disappears!
Darwin has a lot of history and host a number of excellent museums and historical sites.
- Darwin Museum & Art Gallery: National Museum with a range of important historical exhibits, including the Cyclone Tracy display. Many will remember the devastation caused by tropical Cyclone Tracy annihilating the city on Christmas morning in 1974. The Museum is also has an art gallery, a Maritime museum and many items of cultural importance and wildlife exhibits.
- Darwin Military Museum: A powerful and interactive experience reflecting Bombing of Darwin. Contains war memorabilia for all over the Territory and other parts of Australia. A very moving experience.
- Australian Aviation Heritage Centre: An award winning display of Darwin's aviation history with 19 types of aircraft on display including a B52 bomber, a B25 Mitchell bomber and other aircraft.
- The World War II Oil Storage Tunnels: A unique attraction located at the Darwin Wharf Precinct.
- Chinese Temple and Museums: Stone Lions and crafted in China guard the entrance in Litchfield Street. The Temple was originally used for social gatherings, the forerunner of Chung Wah Society.
- Fannie Bay Gaol: Built in 1883, the gaol demonstrates the hardships of penal life in early settlement days with small cells and a set of gallows.
4Botanical Gardens
Just 2 kilometers from the city, the George Brown Botanic Gardens are renowned for their collection of northern Australian and tropical plants.
One of the few botanic gardens in the world with marine and estuarine plants growing naturally. Beautiful shady trees, tropical bromeliads, orchids and other exotic flora .. our gardens are a great place to explore.
Eva's cafe is a great place to stop for brunch, lunch or just a coffee.
5The Waterfront Precinct
Lounge on the grassy lawns under a shady palm tree, visit the Wave Pool, swim in the safety of the sandy beach (crocodile free) or Tai Chi with the locals on a Saturday morning … enjoy this relaxation space.
A great selection of local pubs, cafes and quality restaurants to enjoy nearby.
7Sunset Cruises
A number of evening cruises run from Darwin wharf area that take in the sunset from an ocean vantage point. City lights in the background offer a beautiful backdrop of Darwin harbour with the option of wine and canape's or a full dining experience depending on your cruise choice.
8Where to eat
With so many great restaurants in Darwin, the dining choice is often difficult. Whatever you may be looking for, it will be here and it will be good!
My favourites are: Thailicious, Little Miss Korea, Yots Greek Taverna, Hanuman's, The Sailing Club, Cornucopia at the Museum or Tandoori Vibes for Indian food. For something a little more casual why not grab a famous Mitchelli's pizza or pop into the Cav Hotel for a great steak. Don't forget to try the restaurants and eateries at Stokes Hill Wharf.
Search TripAdvisor, read the reviews or simply choose one of my favourites for a guaranteed good night.
9How to get here?
Getting here is easy! Flights daily from all capital cities of Australia, a short flight daily from Cairns and a flight from Alice Springs twice a day.
A road trip to the Northern Territory has the added advantage of seeing the sights along the way and getting the feel of our remoteness.
Road travel is a great way to enjoy the rich colours of the Territory and experience the extraordinary scenery. The roads are great in the Territory, lots of wide open spaces but do be careful of our wildlife – they have a habit of wandering onto the roads and many a tale of woe is told when a kangaroo, buffalo, emu or hawk comes to grief with a moving vehicle.
One of the most unique travel options is to 'take the Ghan'. One of the world's famous rail journey, the Ghan travels from Adelaide – Darwin stopping in Alice Springs on the way.
"The Ghan has captivated travellers since its inaugural journey in 1929 and continues to be a top choice for travellers seeking authentic Australian adventure with all the comforts and luxury that come with travelling by rail." (Great Southern Rail)
We may seem to be a long way from everywhere, but the lifestyle is what we love most about the Top End.
Come visit and enjoy!
10Where to stay
Darwin has great accommodation choices ranging from camp sites, backpacker accommodation through to top rated hotels. Air BnB, Booking.com, Trip Advisor and Wotif provide accommodation options in both locality and price.
Visit Darwin!
Darwin, as the capital city of the Northern Territory is a great place to start your Territory adventure!
Considered one of 'the last frontier's', with wild emus, crocodiles, National Parks that have world heritage listing, waterfalls that go forever and culturally significant aboriginal paintings. Litchfield Park, Arnhem Land, Kakadu and the Tiwi Islands are world famous, so be sure to visit and experience them all!
The Darwin experience is enhanced by relaxing and enjoying the slow pace of the Territory. Don't be in a hurry, relax and unwind.
If there is anything else you would like to know about our beautiful city, just ask!

The opening panel of Arzach
|First appearance
|Métal Hurlant (1975)
|Publication information
|Les Humanoïdes Associés
|Original material for the series has been published as a strip in the comics anthology(s) Métal Hurlant.
|Original language
|Publication date
|Heavy Metal
|The series has been reprinted, at least in part, in English.
Arzach (French: [aʁzak]) is a comic book collection of four wordless short stories by artist/author Jean 'Moebius' Giraud, which were originally published in the French sci-fi/fantasy comics magazine Métal Hurlant. The stories follow Arzach, a silent warrior who rides a pterodactyl-like creature through a strange, desolate landscape.[1] The imagery and situations in Arzach are often compared to dreams or the subconscious. These stories had an enormous impact on the French comics industry, and the Arzach character is still among Moebius' most famous creations. It can be defined as a pantomime comic, fantasy comics or an experimental comic.
The spelling of the title, originally Arzach, was changed in each of the original short stories.
Moebius later revisited the character with a story called The Legend of Arzach. This later story contains dialogue, and it ties the Arzach stories into a previously unrelated Moebius story called The Detour.
Moebius' 2010 book Arzak: L'Arpenteur (Arzak: The Surveyor) was the first of a planned trilogy to explore the origin of the character. However, with the death of Jean Giraud in March 2012, this vision was never realised. [2]
Arzach is credited as the inspiration for the final sequence, "Taarna", of the animated film Heavy Metal (1981).
Moebius' Arzach is a novel by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier, published by iBOOKS in August, 2000. The book features a cover and inside illustrations by Moebius, and a map by J.O. Ladronn. The first half of the book is a novelisation of several Arzach stories. The second half recursively introduces John Gerard (a thinly disguised Jean Giraud) and family into the world of Arzach. A brief essay on the publishing history of Arzach concludes the book.
Arzach was one of Panzer Dragoon's major artistic influences. Jean Giraud even contributed in the creative process of Team Andromeda's game with original artwork.

Information Pertaining to Roll Off Container Rentals in Savannah
Do I need a special permit to place a roll off container in the public-right-of-way?
Yes, a dumpster permit is required, along with a $20.00 dumpster application fee. There are specific guidelines that must be met and followed regarding placement, the protection of the surfaces, etc.
For more information regarding permitting or dumpster rental, please contact the Savannah Traffic Engineering Department.
When I hire a private waste hauler to rent a container, will they take care of this permit for me?
Most likely, yes. However, this is a question you should ask when calling and hiring a hauler to rent a container.Array
How much does it cost to rent a dumpster?
Usually a phone call is required to the hauler to get an exact price because the type of debris and the city you live in can change the price significantly. Some waste removal companies listed on Hometown Dumpster Rental do publish their prices. If so, you can find the link to their prices on their company profile.
Dumpster rental pricing can actually be a bit complicated if you've never rented one before. One feature of temporary dumpster prices that surprises first time renters... you can actually end up paying more than you thought, depending on the weight of your dumpster. Check out our beginner's guide to dumpster rental prices for more info.
We've also done a number of nationwide pricing surveys and comparisons that can help you understand costs in your area.

- Waste Management's dumpster prices compared to local waste haulers

- Roll off dumpster sizes: everything you need to know
- Is a 10 yard dumpster the right size?
- Is a 20 yard dumpster the right size?

This, of course, will change. But these are the numbers, as of September 3, 2012, 4 PM Eastern time:
46.4% apiece. Below is the last month or so, with August 21st (a week before the convention) picked out for further contrast.
A good number of people are trying to argue that there was no Romney 'bounce' from the convention. This is… interesting. But the truth of the matter is that this is the first time that the two candidates have been tied since the middle of October if 2011. So: if the convention and the Ryan pick (which was also dismissed by the chattering classes) didn't cause the race to tighten in Romney's favor… what, exactly, did?

Will EU Regulators Ever See the Forest Thru the Trees for Securitisation?
May 31, 2017 Leave a comment
This week, Global Capital ran another good article about the seemingly never ending saga related to risk retention and other components of the EU's Simple, Transparent and Standardised framework, also known as "STS". The article once again updates the market on the inability of regulators to get out of their own way when it comes to revitalizing the securitisation marketplace in Europe.
We found one section to be particularly interesting. Using the sub-title "What does the EU really want?", we think the article asks the very basic question that few before have thought to ask. So much time has been spent relying on big picture pronouncements by EU regulators and politicians about how important a healthy securitisation market is to the welfare of the EU capital markets, while very little time has been spent on evaluating what the regulators are actually doing, as a more accurate yardstick for measuring intentions. Seven to eight years after the Credit Crisis should be more than enough time for pols and bureaucrats to understand structured finance, yet many of us continue to give them a pass and attribute the currently arcane EU rules to folks that simply do not understand securitisation. Perhaps they understand perfectly well. Maybe they really do not want a securitisation market for Europe.
Perhaps this is a harsh assessment but at some point, you would think that we have to rely more on their actions and less then on their words in assessing objectives and intentions.
One of the more recent "rationales" for holding up the process of improving the EU regulations is Brexit; the idea being that we need to better understand the impact of the British exit from the EU before making any substantive changes to the current rules. That argument sounds reasonable and safe; perhaps hard to challenge because does anyone really know how this will all shake out? On the other hand, if the EU waits too long, could the UK eventually become the safe harbor for securitisation in the European theatre. Certainly the UK regulators have a much more progressive track record, when it comes to creating a commercially attractive environment for innovation in the capital markets. Perhaps the idea of the EU being left in the dust is not so far fetched.

A couple of interesting points.
On page 14, it says, "Part of the reason the Indian government sought different sponsors [for different IITs] was to introduce a variety of ideas into its engineering institutions."
It is obvious that the government of the day was very aware of the need of experiments in educational institutions. Today, most stake holders want similarity across all educational institutions. Most states have a technical university, which will force same syllabus in hundreds of colleges affiliated to it. A state like UP is trying to create common syllabus across all state universities for all programs, including BTech, BA, BCom, BSc, BEd, and so on. Everyone is being encouraged, if not forced, to admit students through a single exam.
Another interesting observation is the undergraduate institute of Computer Science professors in top 10 CS Departments of US. In 2008, the author looked at the background of all Indian professors (those who did undergraduate studies in India) in the top 10 CS departments of US. There were 38 such faculty members (almost 4 per department, that is a lot). The two IITs dominated this group - 11 from IIT Madras, and 10 from IIT Kanpur. (5 from IIT Delhi, 4 from IIT Bombay, none from any other IIT.) I guess this reflects the migration of undergraduate students to US in 80s and 90s, which was perhaps a lot more from IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur at that time.

(PRWEB) August 25, 2014
How's this for an indication of societal progress? The interracial dating site, InterracialMatch.com, one of the pioneers of the online dating industry, is celebrating its 14th Anniversary. Founded in 2000, it's one of the lucrative niche dating sites that cater to a specific clientele. InterracialMatch.com – operating under the motto "Love Me. Love my Color" – attracts a worldwide user base of singles who are attracted to what was once considered taboo – people from a different ethnic group. Up until very recently, interracial dating could spark all kinds of negative reactions, from violence at the worst end or family abandonment at the least end, but the fact that there are now hundreds of thousands of people actively and openly seeking a cross-cultural partner says much for the evolution of the world.
It might be considered even more than just an interracial dating site. It might be viewed as a larger community, a virtual mingling of ethnic groups who know they are comfortable in their like-minded attraction. The process of joining InterracialMatch.com is simple and free. Free members may then create profiles, add up to 26 photos, search for people by country, create a favorites list, and send unlimited winks. They'll receive an email alert if somebody on the site adds them as a favorite, winks, or sends a message.
The site is filled with success stories from real people. Booklover73 and MODiva from San Antonio, TX met through InterracialMatch.com: "I winked at Rhonda on the 24th of July. She liked my smile and says that she laughed at my profile when I said that the woman could be smarter than me. We emailed, spoke on the phone, and had our first date on the 4th of August. I knew right away that I wanted to go out with her again. On October the 7th we took a trip to Memphis. While at B.B. King's Blues Club, we listened to Preston Shannon sing 'The Way That You Love Me.' I knew right then that she was the ONE that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. When we came home on Monday, I asked her the question burning on my mind, 'What's your ring size?' We went shopping that Saturday for rings. We picked out a ring and I proposed in the jewelry store. I asked Rhonda to spend the rest of her life with me. She said yes." More interracial dating success stories can be found at http://www.interracialmatch.com/success_stories_interracial_dating_1.html.
InterracialMatch.com literally has the power to change lives by bringing together like-minded people. It just makes sense.

Pecan Pie
S.Levy Foods
2205 W. Belmont Avenue Chicago
Give Me Some Sugar
Thursday, December 6
6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Prep: Par-bake your favorite pie crust (either homemade or store-bought) in a 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes or until it just barely starts to brown.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
3 eggs
2/3 cup dark Karo syrup
2/3 cup light Karo syrup
2/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
4 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups pecans (halves or pieces)
Directions: In a bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the wisk attachment, beat the eggs on medium speed for about 30 seconds, until foamy. Add the Karo syrups, maple syrup, salt and vanilla, and beat for about one minute on medium speed until well combined. Add the flour and melted butter. Place the pecans in the par-baked piecrust and pour the mixture over the pecans. Bake the pie for 40 minutes.
Par-bake your crust for the best taste and texture.
"Dock" your dough (poke holes using a fork) before placing in the oven. This allows air to escape and prevents bubbles in the crust. Or you could blind bake.
I love making pie crust from scratch but if you're in a hurry, you can buy the dough frozen, like Pilsbury.
Check to see if the pie is ready by gently moving it. If the center is firm and does not wiggle, then it's ready! Otherwise, you might need a few more minutes in the oven
If you're making a pie like apple or cherry, use the pie filling and crust to make "pie pops."
Fold the pie dough over and use your fingers to pinch the edge of the crust to give it a professional look.
Brush your dough with egg wash before baking it to give it a glossy finish

Little Dannielynn Birkhead Is Looking More Like Mom Anna Nicole Smith Each Day!
Larry Birkhead wants to protect his little girl Dannielynn from all bad in the world. He doesn't want her to hear what's being said about her mommy, Anna Nicole Smith, as the jury begins deliberations today in the trial over her accidental death.
Larry Birkhead, 37, is such a good daddy to his 4-year-old daughter Dannielynn! The pair shared cupcakes at the Hunger Relief Fundraiser at CityCenter's Beso restaurant in Las Vegas on Oct. 11.
As Larry and Dannielynn had a father-daughter date on Monday, the controversy over the her mom Anna Nicole Smith's drug overdose and accidental death continued.
Check out these pics of other celeb kids who look just like their parents!
A jury will convene in Los Angeles today (Oct. 12) to deliberate on whether Anna's two doctors — Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich — and her lawyer boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, are guilty of giving her too many prescription pills that lead to her overdose and death in a Florida hotel room on Feb. 8, 2007.
Despite district attorney Renee Rose saying that the the two doctors used false names to give out the prescriptions, after nine weeks of testimony, the defendants stand by the notion that they gave Anna the pills to help ease her physical and emotional pain. Testimony ended on Oct. 8 and the case is now in the hands of the jury.

Cuernavaca is the Capital City of the State of Morelos, Mexico. Located only 45 minutes from Mexico City (one hour and thirty minutes from the international airport) by the way of the Mexico-Acapulco expressway. Actually world-wide known as "The City of Eternal Spring" due to its excellent temperate climate with an annual average of 20ºC.
La Barranca del Amanalco, a very pretty city park, is just a little north/west of the Mercado and basically directly north of the Zocolo.
Jardin Borda is really something not worth visiting for $30pesos because it's just a very tired old garden and little else. It's not well maintained at all. However it is free on Sundays
Jardin Etnobotanico ( herb garden ) in the colonia of Acapantzingo just a little south/east of downtown, also includes the 'La Casa de la India Bonita' from the days of Maximillion.
I've spend two months in Cuernavaca on seperate 'Learning Spanish' trips – both times at Encuentros. First visit I stayed with a family and the second got my own apartment about 3 blocks away. The tours we took into Mexico City were all in the south end and easy to get to

Memorandum from the Department of Health
1. The Committee has requested a memorandum on the
following point:
Regulation 3(1) provides that a person is disqualified
for appointment as the chairman or as a non-officer member if
(a) he has within the preceding five years been convicted in the
United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man of any
offence and has had passed on him a sentence of imprisonment for
a period of not less than three months without the option of a
fine. Explain the reason for limiting the scope of this provision
to a conviction in the British Islands: compare regulation 4(1)(a)
or S.I. 2001/1744 which refers to a conviction in the United Kingdom
or elsewhere.
2. The Department acknowledges that the disqualification
provision in regulation 3(a) applies only to convictions in the
British Isles. It also acknowledges that a similar provision in
S.I. 2001/1744 refers to a conviction in the United Kingdom or
3. The National Patient Safety Agency Regulations
follow a format which has been adopted over many years in Regulations
governing special health authorities established under section
11 of the National Health Service Act 1977. The same formulation
applies to membership of other NHS bodies such as Health Authorities
(The Health Authorities (Membership and Procedure) Regulations
1990 (S.I. 2024) and Primary Care Trusts (the Primary Care
Trusts Membership, Procedure and Administration Arrangements)
Regulations 2000 (S.I. 89)).
4. It is believed that the reason for the formulation
of this standard provision was determined by practical concerns
as to the equivalence of offences and sentencing patterns outside
the British Islands compared with those within the jurisdiction.
Candidates for appointments who have been convicted of offences
outside the British Isles but which would otherwise fall within
the disqualification rule may of course be declined an appointment
on the basis of lack of suitability.
5. The Department will consider whether the scope
of the disqualification provision used in regulations governing
special health authorities such as the National Patient Safety
Agency is still appropriate.
25 July 2001

Comparing Phenocal with average
Reviewed Products
Phenocal - is a diet pill, claiming to help you lose weight by burning fat
What is Phenocal?
Phenocal is a diet pill, claiming to help you lose weight by burning fat, suppressing your Appetite increasing energy levels and stimulating digestion.
It is apparently composed of 100% natural or herbal ingredients that are proven to be effective when it comes to losing weight.
"There have been other negative reviews and comments on Phenocal online but we should investigate more before we draw any conclusions"
The product is made by Pharmaxa Labs who insist their products include "only the most modern, scientifically-studied natural substances used at their optimal dosages and synergistic blends."
This diet pill is much talked about online with mixed reviews however as usual, we will see what the other users here on WLT say, where real users test weightloss products and give you the real truth.
"Many users seem to have given negative feedback and comments on Phenocal below, which suggests it may not be the best choice for those seeking weight loss"
What does it claim to do?
This weight loss product claims to increase energy levels, boost metabolism, suppress and control Appetite reduce unhealthy food cravings, and maximize diet and exercise results among others.
"Im very sceptical about the claims that this product makes, as there are so many similar weightloss claims out there"
On top of that, it boasts of being a natural, safe and effective weight loss supplement. Its clinically proven effectiveness in burning fat and increasing the bodys metabolism. Hmm.
Hoodia gordonii, green tea extract, 5 HTP, garcinia cambogia, chromium, evodiamine, glucomannan, yerba mate, bioperine black pepper extract, coleus forskohlii, cocoa extract, 7-keto-DHEA, L-tyrosine, thiamine HCL, riboflavin, hydroxocobalamin, niacinamide, biotin, pyridoxine HCL, folic acid, calcium pantothenate.
What's the conclusion?
After using this product for 5 weeks, my results were quite disappointing.
"I lost a total of only 2 pounds using Phenocal diet pills and that was over a period of 5 weeks which wasnt ideal"
Phenocal does appear to contain ingredients that have been clinically proven to reduce hunger and promote a feeling of fullness (Phenocal website). However, it did not show significant weightloss when I tried it.
Phenocal is a product that tested very badly for me and doesnt appear to have worked well for others in the weightloss community, judging by the comments below. It did not give users good results, with many users expreriencing no weight loss at all! This was a huge surprise considering how much hype is made about this product online, shame it doesnt seem to be true. In my opinion,
"Unless you want yet another disappointing weight loss attempt, use your money somewhere else. I tried one of the Top 3 WLT user tested products called Phen 375"

Companies that sell these types of bullsh*t diet products that dont work, should be fined in my opinion. As most of you know, for me theres only one way to lose weight.. use Phen 375 and Proactol together and it melts off. My weight loss pictures don't lie!
I was using Phenocal for 1 month.. wasted my money as Phenocal did not work for my diet at all. I have now switched to Phen 375 as recommended by the other community members.. and it works great:)
I looked up Phenocal online to see if I could find any other Phenocal testimonials. Seems that it didnt get any good reviews elsewhere either. When I was testing it, i did lose 2 pounds but over 8 weeks, which was not good for me. Thats why I switched to Phen 375
Well im sure you all agree that the Phenocal consumer reviews and Phenocal testimonials helped many of us to avoid these pills. I was shocked to hear that you can buy Phenocal in gnc stores? Bulls*it Product.
After reading phenocal review above, I can see why Phenocal is not a fast weight loss pill like some people say. To answer your question, where to buy Phenocal , I would answer ... dont bother wasting your money!
I was going to ask does phenocal work for weightloss when i came across this website with the phenocal review. Glad I didnt buy it now. Im going to use Pheen 375 instead as its rated much better. Keep ya posted...
Im so glad i didnt buy phenocal as now I have read the phenocal reviews, i will definately avoid it. Im going to try Phen 375 instead like you Elizabeth.. I will send you a private message ok hun. xx
I was using this product and tried it for 6 weeks. My total weight loss using Phenocal was 2 pounds in 8 weeks. Im annoyed and angry I didnt read the reviews first or I would have saved money.
I tested this product and it was terrible! I lost like 2 pounds over 8 weeks and ended up throwing the rest of my supply away. In the end I found Phen 375 which worked much better. As an answer to your question, does phenocal work, the siple answer is NO!
dont buy phenocal online or anywhere else for that matter Sam! You will be wasting your money even if you manage to buy phenocal cheap the chances are that phenocal will not work for weightloss at all. The phenocal user tests and reviews dont lie.
sam, the latest phenocal review has been posted here (see above).
As for testimonials, I used phenocal for 2 months and I didnt see any significant reduction in my weight at all. Im sure yu can see by the user results for phenocal that its a bad quality product that doesnt work no?
As for testimonials, I used phenocal for 2 months and I didnt see any significant reduction in my weight at all. Im sure yu can see by the user results for phenocal that its a bad quality product that doesnt work no?

Its a shame that this product didnt work very well for me as I was keen to try it and see the fast weight loss for myself. So this was a bit of a waste of time for me overall. Phen 375 worked much better.

Saturday for the City
Over the past few weeks, I have been avidly reading Alan Lewis' magnum opus, Between Cross and Resurrection, and considering its substantial implications for authentically grappling with the life of the city.[1] In it, Lewis brings serious biblical and theological acumen to the much neglected Saturday that is imbedded in the climactic weekend in the passion story of Jesus. What are we to make of Matthew's singular attention to it, that highlights the sober but calculated protective measures sought by the priests and Pharisees (Mt.27:62-66) to ensure that nothing subversive ensued from the death of this troublesome Galilean revolutionary? Lewis is not satisfied with a perfunctory response, but suggests that perhaps "the precise locus of this Saturday, at the interface between cross and resurrection, its very uniqueness as the one moment in history which is both after Good Friday and before Easter" (investing it, therefore, with a high level of evaluative meaning) ought to be attended to with much more rigor and practical application to the world as it is. "The nonevent of the second day", offers Lewis, "could after all be a significant zero, a pregnant emptiness, a silent nothing which says everything".[2]
Some kind of hint at the transactional nature of this holy Saturday is perhaps intended by the Apostle Paul when he terms as 'of first importance' his commitment to deliver what he also received, "that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:3-4). But we are still left to question how and what anything is transacted in such a state of historical and revelatory silence? Or is it meant to convey anything at all, but rather is a chronological necessity? Are we over-reading if we extrapolate much more than the passing of time, the assurance of a truly dead body, or the simple fulfilment of a messianic allusion? Certainly death and resurrection are the decisive factors here, endued as they are with atoning and eschatological weight. On the other hand, is it theologically healthy to avoid such decisiveness when it has the intervening Saturday in view?
Lewis suggests that this does not do justice to the story itself. We would do far better, in fact, to allow the impact of the death of Jesus, "without or before his resurrection" to weigh heavily upon our hermeneutic experience and provide some level of existential meaning. What is the germane, pertinent, and applicable purpose of these "anonymous, indefinite hours, filled with memories and assessments of what was finished and past…"?[3] Are they really indecisive and meaningless? Or do they, perhaps, relate to the experiential reality of so much of the human story, a story that is freighted with dejection, fear, uncertainty and the precariousness of life, so much like the intervening Saturday, before the final stages of the eschaton?
I would argue that this kind of theological accounting of the passion of Jesus is particularly suggestive when it comes to advocating for what I would call a Saturday hermeneutic when it comes to understanding the place of the city in the missional purposes of God. It encourages us to 'wrestle,' as Lewis further delineates, 'with evil, sin, and death' on the basis of vast reservoirs of hope precisely because we do know, in fact, that evil, sin and death are penultimate realities.[4] We ought to have a healthy and ultimate eschatological perspective in view, in which the earthly city gives way to the City of God. After all, our purpose, according to the writer of the letter to the Hebrews, is to seek "a city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God" (Heb. 11:10).
The 'social geography,' as Saskia Sassen refers to it, of the present day urban landscape is more often beset with inequities too multitudinous to enumerate and account for. [5] Sassen documents the unsettling coupling of growth in the international property market in the world's foremost cities (along with the expansion of new growth industries) with "a continuation and consolidation of concentrated poverty and extreme physical decay in the inner cities".[6] This in no way excuses any theological pandering that simply encourages acquiescence. It places these sorts of urban pathologies in a particular eschatological chronology that accredits their existential givenness a boundary within the truth of an intervening theology of holy Saturday that is decisive, rather than arbitrary. Far, in fact, from arbitrary, such a Saturday for the city deals with the realities of evil, sin, and death squarely and head on precisely because the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus guarantees that such plagues of the city are actually and only penultimate experiences in the unfolding of a new creation.

Vertigo has cancelled Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child.
Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and Denys Cowan's ongoing series will conclude with issue #7, the DC Comics imprint's September solicitations have revealed.
The comic centred around the titular Dominique Laveau, the heir to the voodoo crown of New Orleans, who becomes embroiled in an investigation of the previous queen's murder.
"In her journey from fugitive marked for death to Voodoo Queen, Dominique Laveau has run up against gangstas, gods, ghosts, and all manner of things that bump in the dark New Orleans night," reads the solicitation.
"Now, at what may be the end of the road, she must make a final life-altering choice and confront her most inimical foe yet: the truth."
September also sees the cancellation of DC's Captain Atom, Resurrection Man and Voodoo to make way for its third wave of New 52 titles.
Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child #7 will be released on September 19.

PENNSAUKEN, NJ (CBS) – Pennsauken police are reaching out to the public for help in identifying an intruder who assaulted a child earlier this week.
Shortly before 6 a.m. on Wednesday, January 4, at the Penn Gardens Apartments, a man entered an apartment through an unlocked window and sexually assaulted a child under the age of 13.
Anyone with information that might lead to the suspect's arrest should contact the Camden County Prosecutor's Office at 856-225-8400 or 856-488-0080.
Police are also asking people living in the area of the assault to make sure their doors and windows are locked and remain alert to any unusual people or activities.

What is progesterone?
It is a hormone produced in the ovaries of women.
It is also produced by men, but in small amounts.
It is a fundamental hormone and is the forerunner for the production of additional, important hormones including oestrogen and cortisone. Progesterone, in conjunction with oestrogen, works to regulate a woman's reproductive cycle.
Why Does the Body Need Progesterone
Progesterone is considered critically important to a woman's health. It is produced prior to ovulation to prepare a woman's uterus for accepting a fertilized egg. Each month, during a woman's childbearing years, progesterone is secreted from within the ovaries signaling the body to thicken the lining of the uterus, so that a fertilized egg may attach and begin to develop.
If a woman becomes pregnant, progesterone is then produced by the placenta to maintain pregnancy and prevent rejection (spontaneous abortion) of the embryo. When pregnancy does not occur, the levels of progesterone decrease, and the thickened uterine lining along with the unfertilized egg is shed in the menstrual period.
The most important role relative to a woman's general health, is to keep the level of oestrogen in a woman's body in a balanced state. Unchecked oestrogen can lead to very serious medical issues including increased risk for breast cancer or cancer of the reproductive organs.
In addition to the reproductive system, it also stimulates thyroid activity, reduces inflammation, helps with immunity, blood-clotting abilities and other functions of the body. It is also used in synthetic (man-made) form to help with treatment of menstrual problems, prevent miscarriages and for birth control.
The body requires progesterone during all of the different phases of a woman's life. It is therefore important that a woman's body continues to generate progesterone even in the post-menopausal years, especially to prevent conditions such as osteoporosis.

Areca ARC-1883i and ARC-1883x Review
The Areca ARC-1883i and ARC-1883x are 12GB/s RAID controllers optimized for internal and external use, respectively. They feature the same transfer rate and PCLe 3.0 host interface as the previously reviewed LSI MegaRAID SAS3 9361-9i, but are geared more towards a workstation user rather than a server environment. This strengthens their appeal to creative contractors, like video or image editors, in need of very fast data transfer. Another key feature of this drive vs. others in its class is that it is compatible with Mac OS operating systems, which are commonly used by graphic designers and video editors.Read more

VMware Virtual SAN Review: HCIbench Synthetic Performance
One of the most common ways to stress a storage platform is through synthetic workloads or four-corners type of testing. In this testing scenario, we look at the peak I/O a platform can generate, as well as the peak bandwidth. While these figures aren't supposed to be used in place of application tests, they are helpful in comparing one platform to another and provide valuable insight for customers working on a PoC. To that end we have migrated hyper-converged synthetic tests to HCIbench, which VMware released earlier this year. At its core HCIbench leverages the industry-accepted VDbench workload generator and distributes VMs across a target cluster and aggregates the results. We use our own I/O profiles for this tool, which are linked below for users to replicate our tests.Read more

Dell PowerEdge R930 Review
Dell launched the PowerEdge R930 in April, declaring it their most powerful server to date. The R930 is part of Dell's 13th generation server family, offering a plethora of potential from quad CPUs to eight 2.5" NVMe SSD bays in a 4U form factor. The R930 is designed specifically to meet the needs of business critical applications that can benefit form the combination of CPU, RAM and storage that the platform can bring to bear. Of course the R930 is not an entirely new effort exactly, it builds on the pedigree of the 12th Gen PowerEdge R920 by adding support for Haswell processors from Intel and newer/larger 3.2TB NVMe SSDs. The net result is a 22% performance boost generationally, putting the R930 in an ideal spot to be the go to system for applications that are highly latency sensitive.Read more

EchoStreams FlacheSAN2 Review
The EchoStreams FlacheSAN2 is an ultra-dense 48-bay server that is extremely space-efficient, fitting into just 2U of rack space. As with other solutions from EchoStreams, the FlacheSAN2 is also extremely customizable with hardware configurations available to specifically integrate this product for the organizations' precise needs. That makes the FlacheSAN2 an excellent option for an enterprise that already has specific hardware in mind. In our particular configuration, we populated the 48 bays with Toshiba HK3R2 SATA SSDs and ensured robust performance with four PCIe 3.0 Adaptec 71605 RAID cards and four Mellanox ConnectX-3 56Gb/s dual-port InfiniBand adapters. With certain configurations built to support upwards of 25GB/s of bandwidth and over 3.8 million IOPS, the FlachSAN2 is designed to compete where few others can.Read more

X-IO Technologies ISE 860 G3 Review: Part 1
X-IO made their name in enterprise SAN storage by figuring out a way to ensure hard drives and in the case of hybrid configurations, SSDs, never needed to be serviced in the warrantied five-year window. To help achieve this goal, X-IO uses twin DataPacs that are inserted and locked into the fully redundant chassis, delivering a "set it and forget it" style of storage. In March of this year X-IO added to the family of hard drive and hybrid arrays, with a new series of all flash configurations and an updated third generation architecture (G3). The ISE 800 G3 series of all flash arrays includes three models ranging from 6.4TB to 51.2TB of raw capacity. Each brings with it the promise of dramatically reducing the frequency of service calls, along with performance of up to 400,000 IOPS, 5GB/s bandwidth and one of the more robust QoS engines.Read more

VMware Virtual SAN Review: Scaled Sysbench OLTP Performance
After looking at the performance levels of the VMware VSAN cluster with a traditional Sysbench OLTP workload, we wanted to find out how well the platform responds with an increased workload for more demanding use cases. The initial deployment was four Sysbench VMs, 1 per node, but that workload didn't bring the disk I/O to a high enough range where we felt resources were being fully utilized. This is similar to a customer running a POC, testing it under a subset of their current workload, but not measuring how well the platform responds as workloads grow over time or as more application data is migrated over. To better understand how this VSAN cluster responds under ever-increasing MySQL workloads, we scaled the four Sysbench VM (1 per node) benchmark up to 8 and 12 total VMs.Read more

The 22-year-old actress opened up to the mag about her shopping habits, celebrity crushes, and her buzzworthy haircut for The Fault in Our Stars. Check it:
On where she finds her clothes: I would be shopping in my best friend's closets cause that's where all the gold is. Ya know? They have already gone through the racks, and they have decided what they want, and so I know I like their style so I'll just take it from them. Yeah, I'm not a shopper. I'm the laziest shopper.
On which actor she'd want to kiss: I don't know. I don't really know many actors; I know more characters in movies who you're just like, "Ah, you're so swoon-worthy." Dermot Mulroney character in the movie My Best Friend's Wedding I always remember being like, "Wow," I would love to be Julia Roberts right now.
On her hair: I have really, really thick hair and it was extremely long. And then I thought about it and I was like, wow, this is so many years, and so many layers and so many lessons are in this hair and I am starting this new phase in my life as a woman in a way, and cutting my hair was a fun cleansing of like what could mean something new.

International Students Applying for Online Programs
International students applying for 100% online graduate programs will fulfill all of the above general and international admissions requirements but are not be required to submit a declaration of finance or go through the F-1 visa application process below.
F-1 Visa Application Process
Step 1: Read your SEVIS Form I-20
Your SEVIS Form I-20 indicates that we have created a record for you in the Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). Your assigned SEVIS ID number is in the upper-right-corner of page 1 of your SEVIS Form I-20. If any information on your SEVIS Form I-20 is incorrect, contact the Graduate Admissions Office.
Step 2: Make Sure Your Passport is Valid
In order to avoid possible problems applying for a visa or entering the U.S., it is recommended that your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date you intend to remain in the U.S.
Step 3: Pay the SEVIS Fee
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now requiring proof of payment of the SEVIS fee before issuing a visa or approving any benefits of status. This fee must be paid by new F-1 students. While immigration regulations indicate that the fee should be paid a minimum of three business days prior to a visa application at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate, we suggest that students pay the fee as soon as they receive the Form I-20 to allow sufficient time for DHS to update the fee payment in the student's electronic SEVIS record. Please refer to the Student and Exchange Visitor website for more information.
To Pay the SEVIS Fee Online
- Log onto the following website: https://www.fmjfee.com/index.html and follow instructions.
- Complete the Form I-901 online
- Submit the electronic Form I-901 and electronic payment.
- Print a copy of the online receipt to use as temporary proof of payment until you receive the Form I-797 receipt.
- A formal Form I-797 receipt notice should be issued within three days from date of payment. It will be sent to the address you
- indicated on Form I-901. Be sure to make copies of your receipt, and
- keep the original with your other important immigration documents.
Note: The SEVIS Fee is not the same as the visa fee and is non-refundable. However, if your F-1 visa application is denied by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, you will not be required to pay a new SEVIS fee if you reapply for a new F-1 visa within 12 months of the denial.
Step 4: Obtain a valid F-1 Visa
Citizens of all countries, except citizens of Canada and Bermuda, are required to have F-1 visas to enter the U.S. to study. You must contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate to initiate your visa application. Most Consular Posts will process an application 120 days prior to the start date of the academic program listed on your SEVIS Form I-20. Please refer to the following U.S. Department of State (USDOS) for more information.
To apply for a Nonimmigrant Student Visa, you will need to submit these forms and documentation:
- A completed application--Nonimmigrant Visa Applicant Form DS-156, together with a Form DS-158. Both forms must be completed and signed. Some applicants will also be required to complete and sign Form DS-157. The DS-156 must be the March 2006 date, electronic "e-form application." Select Nonimmigrant Visa Application Form DS-156 to access the electronic version of the form DS-156.
- Important Notice: At certain U.S. Embassies and Consulates abroad, nonimmigrant visa applicants are now required to apply for their visa using the new DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application, instead of the nonimmigrant application forms DS-156, 157, 158, and other related forms.
- Original financial documents proving the availability of sufficient funds, as reflected on your SEVIS Form I-20, anddocuments indicating that you intend to return home after your studies
- Letter confirming admission to McDaniel College
- The SEVIS Form I-901 or Form I-797 fee receipt
- Visa fee receipt to show payment of the visa application fee (MRV fee)
- SEVIS Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status from McDaniel College
- Passport
- Pay visa application fee.
- One 2 x 2 "passport" size photograph.
- All applicants should be prepared to provide:
- Registration, licenses, etc., and tax documents, as well as original bank books and/or statements.
- You or your sponsor own a business, please bring business
- You or your sponsor is a salaried employee, please bring income tax documents and original bank books and/or statements. If
- Living expenses during the period of your intended study. For example, if
- Financial evidence that shows you or your parents who are sponsoring you have sufficient funds to cover your tuition and
- Scores from standardized tests required by the educational institution such as the TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT, etc.;
- Transcripts and diplomas from previous institutions attended;
- All visa applicants are now required to schedule an appointment for an interview. Please keep in mind that it may take a few weeks to schedule an appointment, so you should initiate your visa application as early as possible.
- If a visa application is denied, it is difficult to get the Consulate to change its decision. For this reason, it is important that you arrive at your appointment with the best and most complete supporting information. If your visa is denied, we suggest that you ask for the reason for the denial and request a reason in writing if possible.
Step 5: Travel to the U.S.
Once you have obtained your F-1 visa, you are ready to travel to the United States. Immigration regulations allow you to enter the U.S. no earlier than 30 days prior to the start of your program indicated in section 5 of your SEVIS Form I-20. You must carry with you items 4-9 listed in Step 4. Place these documents in a folder or envelope that you will have with you at all times during your travel. During your trip to, or upon your arrival in the U.S. you will be given a form called Arrival Record/Departure Record (Form I-94). Using a pen, print the information requested on this form, making certain to spell your name exactly as it is spelled in your passport.
Step 6: Apply for "entry" to the U.S. (Port of Entry)
When you arrive in the U.S., you will apply for "admission" and an Immigration Inspector will examine your documents.
You will need to present the following documents:
- I-94 Arrival/Depature Card
- Passport with valid F-1 visa
- SEVIS Form I-20
- Proof of SEVIS fee payment
You will need to have the following documents ready to present, should the Inspector ask for them:
- Admission letter from McDaniel College
- Original financial documents
Once the immigration officer has inspected your documents and determine your eligibility for admission into the United States as a non-immigrant foreign student the officer will photograph and fingerprint you. The officer also has the right to question you about your financial status, your intentions regarding working in the United States, and your intent to attend the school indicated on your visa and I-20.
If the immigration officer asks you whether you intend to work in the U.S, you should respond that you will only work as directed by the stipulations of your F-1 visa status.
When you pass the inspection, the officer will stamp your passport and Form I-20, and will write "D/S F-1" on your I-94 card.
Remember: The I-94 card documents your authorized stay in the US, so it's very important to keep it in your passport.
