Tina Baine, DIY: High tech for the masses as TechShop opens San Jose...

Just to see one of Moto Ohtake's shimmering stainless steel kinetic mobiles spinning in the wind is worth the drive to Sierra Azul Nursery in Watsonville. Or to see Kathleen Crocetti's radiant multi-panel hanging mosaics made from thousands of tiny pieces of stained glass. Or the fascinating eroded sphere made by David Mudgett, made from what looks like rebar for giants. Sculpture Is, the sixth annual June-October sculpture show at the nursery, once again has an amazing array of incredible large-scale pieces.

As a maker who leans toward materials I can safely work with on my kitchen table, I can certainly appreciate these sculptors' facility with materials as daunting as steel, concrete, bronze and glass, and techniques as demanding as soldering, welding, grinding and sandblasting.

Your creative endeavors are always limited by know-how and access to tools and machinery. And even with training and tools, you might not have an appropriate workspace or the high-tech machinery to work as efficiently as possible.

But now there is TechShop. The equipment-rich Bay Area workshop has just opened a new location in downtown San Jose, near San Jose State. Seven days a week from 9 a.m. to midnight, members have access to tools and machinery to create just about anything they can envision. TechShop classes also are open to nonmembers to learn techniques, master the safe operation of high-tech equipment, and get a taste of the possibilities.

Classes offered by TechShop such as sewing, wood shop, embroidery and silk screen printing might sound conventional. However, TechShop teaches these crafts using expensive, state-of-the-art machinery, which is in the case of the San Jose shop brand-spanking new.

For example, in Industrial Sewing SBU SBU stands for safety and basic use you'll learn how to safely sew thick fabrics like canvas, leather, sails, tents, and nylon straps on an industrial sewing machine. In Wood Shop SBU, you'll build a bench using all the standard woodworking tools and equipment, and be introduced to the CNC ShopBot -- an amazing computerized router that carves in every direction for making 3D projects like signs, instruments and furniture.

Take CNC Embroider SBU, and you'll learn to use a computerized machine that creates digitized stitches based on monogramming and logo art as well as clip art style designs. Or take CNC Vinyl Cutter SBU, where you'll make use of software like Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, FlexiStarter 8, and machinery like the CNC Vinyl Cutter -- a great tool for making screens for silk screen printing, signs, banners and decorating T-shirts.

I'm assuming you both have filed 2 I-1485 and 2 EAD each. Based on your I-485, it's safe to change job only after 180 days of I-485 receipt date. You can change after 4 months but if for some reason your I-140 get revoked you are screwed. Same thing if you use the EAD obtained using your wife's 485. If you change your job before 6 months but use your wife's EAD and later on your company revoke your I-140, your I-1485 application is screwed up but you will stil be in status if your wife 485 is fine. My mother scheduled a trip to USA on May 1st. I am concerned about her passport. Her old passport got wet on the borders of the first two and last two pages. VISA was stamped in the old passport which seems to be safe. I do not see any wet appearance on the borders of the VISA page. The old wet passport expired anyway. And she got new one. Will it be safe to travel with these two passport having wet old passport containing VISA stamp? Thanks. Now I am planning to move to USA for a long term stay so that I am selling my stuff, renting my house,.. and I just got confused by considering this date.Does this mean my visa will be expire on September and my H1 visa is just for some months? In this case does this mean I have lost 3 years of the total 6 years of the H1 visa? or the the officer issuing the visa on I-94 form in the ports of entry can issue the visa for 3 years as a normal H1-B visa? I have arranged with my employer to start the job on 10Th of July and I will enter USA on 8Th, so up to 26Th of September which is the PED date will be less than 3 months and if the white I-94 card that will be in my passport should correspond with the expiration of the petition, the total of my work duration, will be less than 3 months which really doesn't make sense at all but as it seems that's it! Lately, US Consular Officers in Canada have been reluctant to issue H-1B visas when the applicant does not have a US or Canadian University Degree AND has never had an H-1B visa issued at his/her home Consulate. The following is an excerpt from Visa Requirements • U.S. Consular Services in Canada (http://www.consular.canada.usembassy.gov/usa_visa.
