Thanks so much for the information
Okay can i use my uncle's account statement as he have an inflow of money in his account, over 600k naira every month and a good account balance, my husband can just send the money to my uncle other account. CAN THIS WORK FOR ME?
hmmm, seems you still dont get it.
money lodgement of any kind is a no no..
u usually go with ank statements of 6months.

lemme reak it down, if for eg..ur husands salary is 150k monthly.....even if u thing u are smrt and go and lodge 10m in ur acct say 10months b4 ur interview, the VO will sniff that out, cos it doesnt add up

2ndly as a married woman, using ur uncle as a sponsor of your child irth get as be.........
if you are a gambling person, you can try and apply...las las na your 59k and transport money go loss

Candybright:
You can go ahead and book your appointment same day/time and walk up to the VO same time. No big deal or just add her to your appointment profile. Same same
would prefer to add her to my profile, just incase, am unable to get same date/time for both of us while booking.
am considering mailing the embassy peeps her pp data page, so as to add her, as i get an error message when trying to add her in my profile

so my wife and i have 2 different profiles on the usa visa site, we hv obtained visas separately, and travelled together in the past, now we wish to travel together, and i am thinking to link both of our profiles together, is this really critical, or i should leave it as it is?

note: in the ds160 form, we are stating we are travelling together..with me as the sponsor.

I took time to take readings from the existing four batteries before connecting the ZHC Battery equalizer, duh they were charged but here are the readings
Battery 1 - 12.2v
Battery 2 - 12.2v
Battery 3 - 12.2v
Battery 4 - 10.2v cry

Connected in series 47v

I think I may need to discard one of the battery (battery 4).
fully charged at 12.2v?. something is wrong, you may be lucky and its the bad batt of 10.2v affecting the system. are they fla or agm batts?

It sounds like you consider those cousins relatives, so list them as such. As far as editing a profile, you will have to use the contact information on the application website to reach someone who can assist you.
I TRIED USING THE feedback form to submit the information about her new passport number and name, it didnt go through, i then tried sending a mail to technical.support@ustraveldocs.com
the mail still bounced, said box full!...can someone advice me on other ways of contacting them on this issue, a phone nos/email
TravelRe: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by cretin: 11:10am On Jan 13, 2016
so, my wife applied 14months ago for visa and was denied...the name on her passport was her maiden name.
last year we applied for the change of name on passport, and did a uk trip together as a couple last yr {applied together]

now this year we want to visit the usa, i logged into her old profile and the old name isnt editable, thus am wondering if i shud create a new profile bearing her new nAME N PASSPORT NUMBER, or i continue with her old profile and send a msg to the visa people using the feedback menu.

2ndly she has distant cousins{2nd & 3rd cousins} in the usa, we are wondering if these qualify as relatives per say, and if she should acknowledge them in the form

Car TalkRe: Engine Oil And Atf Dilemma SOS Call by cretin: 4:50pm On Jul 30, 2015
superb advice has beeen given here,
if you switch to synthetic/ semi synthetic..........since it has detergent properties...and u aint sure of what the previous owner had in there all this while...i wud advice you to run the sythethic oil for just 200 to 300 miles...best if most of the miles is at highway speeds...then drain,,,replace filter and then refill with the recommended oil.........this is cos the synth oil will clean the engine and its not good to hv all those junk floating around in the system for long...[am almost certain the previous owner was using 20w 50 oil]

for ur transmission..my advice in such cases is to leave it alone, since the car is driving fine.......most abused trannys have failed immediately after changing the fluid cos of .....omo i no get strength to write plenty.........

so as i was saying only change the bad fluid if ur car is having drivability issues, thus you dont hv anything to loose if the tranny packs up immediately after the change

honda pilot...: boring shape, balnd, lukewarm...wudnt be found dead in one..

dislike the shape of honda piloit 08 downwards.......09 upwards is nice...can be found dead in it ...lol grin

Car TalkRe: What Type Of Battery Should I Go For? by cretin: 3:06pm On Jun 05, 2015
billy187:
I have reached that feared point in the life of every motorist where my battery has decided to meet that Big Battery in the sky. grin

I will definitely have to buy another this week, but before that I would love to know which type of battery would most likely last longer-a maintenance free battery or one you have to top up now and then? What brand would be the best choice?

Thanks in advance!
IF U HVNT BOUGHT ALREADY THEN GOOD .

GO ONLINE, CHECK THE CCA RATING OF THE STANDARD/FOLO COME BATTERY FOR UR CAR...THEN WHEN U go market,, ensure the cca of the batt u r buying is at least upto the cca of the factory battery, gobe are the days when people buy batts based on only 12v 70amp/60amp etc......

cca and rca na the baba
cca = cold cranking amperes...ensure this is above 550, guessing judging by ur car size, xcheck to confirm
rca = reserve capacity amps ...ensure this is above 125mins

Boss13:
Where are the professionals. Can they assist me professionally? My installer informed me that I have to always connect the batteries to the solar, if I want the solar to provide me with power. I was informing him that there is no need to connect the batteries, because the batteries serve as a Bank and when the sun is not available, you can use the batteries to provide power. I don't know if I am wrong, but at the moment I am so sad.
I DONT UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTIONhuh?
yes..just as the batt bank is connected to the inverter as the time, thats the way the battbank shud be connected to the solar panels tru the charge controller??

so how how u been using it...if u didnt hook up the batt bank to the charge controller/solar panelshuh??

going forward, i suggest you change ur charge controller to 60amp mppt...hoook up the battery bank properly to it...and observe the system for a while b4 changing it.

what is the voltage rating of ur charge controller?
what is the input voltage of ur inverter?
are ur panels 12v or 24v?...how are the connected?
send us a picture of ur charge controller screen during sunlight..lets see the harvest data

is the car with you?...if yes..you might hv copied a wrong number, the car is a Toyota, made in japan, the 10th digit is zero......this is an impoosibility, the 10th digit cant be zero, its either the car seller sent u a wrong vin on purpose or the fraudulent seller changed the vin.either case shine ur eyes.

You entered an invalid VIN: JTDER28E603073637

Your VIN needs to be:

Exactly 17 characters.
For a vehicle manufactured after 1980 (1981 or later model year.)
Without the letters I, O, or Q.




h0n0rable:

Many Thanks.

lol @ don famous, war is inevitable...as long as humans are on earth...also its part of ways mother nature uses to control the population of the dominant species/apex predator on this planet - humans. with the advent of science n tech......diseases, plagues and illhealth (black death, bubonic plague) are almost under control, thus natures major method of population control has been greatly subdued..........leaving only wars/terrorism/skirmishes as the only major means of decimating the population of this planet...........if mother nature fails to achieve this through wars.....then i predict super bugs/viruses will emerge or natural disasters (earthquake/tsunamis/land slides etc) will come back with a vengence
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Third World War Coming? by cretin: 7:59pm On Aug 15, 2014
excellent write up and research weah96, but bear the following in mind, china n russia have low budgets cos they usually steal intel/tech from usa.saving them billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of man hours that would have been spent in r&d, testing etc.
coming to nukes, i dont think one needs 1000s of nukes to wipe out/bring usa to its knees......in nuclear warfare.what matters most is first strike!!......when it comes to delivery of nukes.....russia is tops.....icbms, mirvs, with less than a 1000 nukes strategically aimed and fired at major cities/military command centers...the usa could be brought to its knees...

also the true number of russias nuclear arsenal is unknown,,,,the number quoted in the write up is far below what russia truly has, these are all guessestimates,

chinese products are crap according to you, but more than half of all major electronics/mechanical products are now being produced in china!!!.....even american companies are relocating their plants to china, cos of cheap labour n taxes,
i still repeat -- NOT ALL CHINESE PRODUCTS ARE CRAP!

lemme ask you a question.in a straight fight without nukes, do u think america would defeat china easily?..........i seriously doubt
most of americas allies are soft/sissies,,,,,, democratic nations where the leaders are afraid of their citizens n public opinion, same cannot be said of americas foes.......their leaders can take uniteral action without any major backlash from their citizens.

someone quoted einstein as saying 4th ww would be fought with stick and stones...einstein was absolutely right

LOL,, ALLIES?..GERMANY?..AUSTRALIA?.......THOSE r toothless bulldog na..........even uk..ordinary iraq war, their citizens protested and most coun tries didnt even support usa during the 9/11 attacks ..............same shit will happen again.....if the usa gets into any serious confrontation with the axis of evil (mid east +russia + china +n korea) again....i bet u those allies u listed there wudnt have the balls to come all out to surpport usa,,,,,or they would until the axis of evil begin retaliotary strikes against them/their citizens......then their citizens would protest and they would end the alliance with usa and claim neutrality

chinese military products are good, dont mess with the chinese..their products are in grades...chinese products made for nigerian market is of lower quality than chinese product for usa market.but the highest of them is chinese product for chinese miltary!.

when it comes to nukes....the combined arsenal of russia alone is significantly more than usa....then add that of china + n korea + mid east.

once a mad man gets to power in any of these rougue anti usa states....he will authorize the use of nukes against usa n israel.....then usa will have to retaliate,,,, n bam.nuclear war has begun...with nukes on the table...aircraft carriers/tanks/nos of soldiers becomes pretty useless

empires rise and fall..the great usa will not last forever....hope you are aware of the deficit problem facing the usa/dollar.......and the plans to change the dollar as the means of international commerce.....the usa will likely be weakened commercially b4 being brought down militarily
Christianity EtcRe: Is The Third World War Coming? by cretin: 10:55am On Aug 13, 2014
YEAH sry to be the bearer of bad news, but the great usa will be defeated by the combined forces of the arabs+russia + china, the usa army is even operating @ probablly 80% strength, its currently engaged in 2 many skirmishes, iraq, afghanistan, libya etc ,,,,, man for man chinas military is about 5 times that of usa, though china could be a lil behind in tech, but they mae up with nos, then throw in russia + the bloody arabs, then u realize usa cud be defeated, nukes wud be used, n 1/3rd of the planet n population would be laid waste, i am pro usa, but i know the day is coming --- empires rise n fall, look @ history, babylon, rome, egypt, england etc
