  1. The whole discussion on Carbon impact moves the focus from items that are probable more important. SOx and NOx and particulate matter (ash). Alcohol will be cleaner for all of these and that will help the country quite a bit. Now we just need to learn how to store carbon in ocean water and in the land, to finish the cleaning of the air after will deal with the more critical first three.
  2. I want to emphasis how interesting and helpful your blog is. I am learning more Chinese and my wife loves it. I have been very lax in this department. Plus, your descriptions of many things i have seen and partial understood really add to my understanding and knowledge. Thanks, these are great.
  3. I doubt the people driving biofuels really cares about the Carbon impact. Most of this is being driven by the desire to find a source of fuel that the middle east does not control. The driver is cost and National Security, we all want to find a way to produce fuel cheaper than oil from a local material. These early pilot programs are not expected to be cheaper, but to help develop the infrastructure needed to get to the point of having a cheaper alternative to oil. The cost are coming down, i have seen some very encouraging numbers on the cost side. Plus, do you really want the middle east to have so much power over everyones lives? In a perfect process and raw materials and with the best results it might be possible to produce these fuels with a lower carbon footprint, but we are no where near that right now and many things still need to proven before i believe those claims.
  4. Do they supply the form or is it something i have to take with me ? I don't need the divorce papers for the I-864 Application for support ? Once you are married, and she has her visa they think the divorced did really happen. You do not need to resubmit the old divorce info. Just submit the new married info, the certified copy of your marriage certificate. MOst have the form, but you can bring it to be sure.
  5. I am never very good with the squat. How much of my pants do i remove is my worry. It is best if i take off my pants completly, but it takes longer and i know the locals do not remove the pants. I am only talking abotu number 2. Plus, if i take my pants off where do i hold them since no place on wall to hang them usally. So many issues when you travel. I also really enjoy the read. Take as many classes as you can, most of the info is hard to practice and learn in the US. Take more Taichi if you can.
  6. I am under the impression that they are USCs The ones I saw are all USC. I think they all are?
  7. À°°ËËâÉշʳ¦£¬La ba suan shao fei chang (really my favorite dish: pig stomach with garlic). I think this might be pig colon, or large intestines. Plus, no smell no fun, so should not be clean too harshly. Wow you are really chinese if you eat this.
  8. we have started the same thing. You can give a card with her name on credit card account with little trouble. I wonder also hope much is really needed.
  9. We also just got our notice, and we got a notice of card prodcution twice almost a week apart. Not sure why they wanted to tell us twice. Did you file the G-28s? If so, you'll get one for you and one for her. If not, welcome to the paper reduction efforts of your gov't. I hope no one laughed at your paper reduction joke. I've been beating that one into the ground for months and haven't even gotten a smile. : ) The actuall cards came today, everyone else should be getting them soon. They used the picture and finger print from the bio appt, not the pictures i sent.
  10. congratuations!!! Good to see it all worked out.

If so, you'll get one for you and one for her. If not, welcome to the paper reduction efforts of your gov't. Maybe are the G-28 the bio pages? My notices are just that the cards are being producted. Hey, I got a new email today that they are being mailed. No, it's the notice of appearance of attorney or representative. It means your entitled to get all the notices/info she gets. I am not sure how i filled them out. I did include my name in a few places, but when i signed up at the CIS site i did not include this info. It is a little bit strange that so many of us got these notices at the same time. Did we apply at the same time? I think our times were different by a few weeks.

  14. The number of times you visit is important. I am not sure how important. They did ask my fiance, now wife, how many times did i visit and photos from those visit.
  15. They will want long hair pulled back from face. Have her put the hair in a ponytail.
  16. We just got the same notice. Now we must decide what to do.
  17. THANK YOU FOR THE INFO ON WHERE TO PAY! Any links on notorys in China? Thanks I think you must use the offical notary for her town, her parents Huko. They will need to sign a paper giving her the right to travel out of the country. They will know, there is only one they can use. Most likely the Notary will demand to use thier own wording, so just let them.
  18. I want to teach at a chinese university and/or consult for chinese companies. They can handle the visa issues and sign the papers i need signed. That is one of the only ways i know to get the longer visas and to not worry about them renewing the visas. Anyone else have additional ideas? Besides working at a tire factory?
  19. Great work, getting that all together. Congratulations
  20. Psst Psst Believe me,employers would be willing to hire without any documentation,but she would never accept one of THOSE kind of jobs. I am not sure when i tcomes, but i think fairly quick. Maybe 1.5 more months. I am also in this waiting game. She has her SSN, but the card says need additional documents for work. So I have her waiting right now. She is happy if i am home, but when i travel she does not like it.
  21. I guess the best way to minimize the time is to have all the documents for the P3 filled out and send them in as soon as you know the P3 is shipped to you. This method can shorten the total time some.
  22. My wife was really worried about leaving money in china and we decided that the only path to still have some money left for after we retire was to invest, but the market is way to risky without constant mointoring. The answer was some houses. We took the money and bought an aditionally house. That way we at least move with the standard of living in China. My feeling was that money able to buy a house today put in bank will not buy house in 10 years.
  23. I agree Roger, I have always veiwed the houses as a place holder and an investment. Not the acutal home i might live in. Many locations can pop up as nice. I have traveled a fair amout over asia for work. I think many locations will be great.
  24. My wife and I will have our SSN, but our daughter will still have the ITIN. Will she count? I was not sure from the paper. It seems it says the filler, but not anything about dependents. The rebate is 300-600 husband, and 300-600 wife for a total of 1200, children are not counted. I think the final bill had 300 per child added to it. From the article: Oh well, i will not get that money.
