ball.gif (1653 bytes) Unlimited web space without ads?

http://www.xoom.com/ offers unlimited webspace, it has very few ads which show as a bar on top of your homepage, like Hong*Suo page here: http://members.xoom.com/rainbowlink/index.html. But if you make a small modification to the link, you got your homepage without the bar with ads, cool. Check Hong*Suo at: http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/rainbowlink/index.html, you can see the difference.

ball.gif (1653 bytes) Want to get email reminder for your important events, lover's birthday? :-)

Apply a yahoo email account specific for this purpose, then you also get calendar service from yahoo. The calendar can send email reminder to your email account. You can use your own email address or setup the email forwarding of the yahoo email account. You are supposed to get some advertisement from yahoo. All you can do is filter them away. But I haven't got any yet so far.

ball.gif (1653 bytes) Question regarding reenterring USA from Canada - by Xu, Cong.

Q: I have a J-1 VISA since about 2 years ago. Now I'm going to Canada for a few days. Does anyone know if I need to apply for another US visa when returning to US from Canada? Somebody told me that I don't if the visit is less than 30 days (only show them my I-94 and IAP-66 at the border). But somebody else told me otherwise. I'm confused ...

A: Source: Web site of US State Department (http://travel.state.gov/tcn.html)
"Would-be applicants who do not need a visa to remain in the United States may find it more convenient to apply for a visa elsewhere in conjunction with their next foreign travel. Those who plan to visit Canada, Mexico or, in the cases of students and exchange visitors, adjacent islands, may re-enter the U.S. within thirty days on expired visas as long as they possess a valid I-94 form."
