Deepak is closer to the truth.

The maximum period that you can stay out of the country without losing
the green card is one year. However, there are several caveats to this:

 (a) If you repeat this back-to-back (like coming back once a year for
     a week), you risk losing the card. Trying it twice may be borderline.
     It's a discretionary matter for the immigration official at the port
     of entry.

 (b) If you want to stay out longer than one year, that is also possible.
     For this, you have to apply for a "re-entry permit", a document that
     allows you to stay outside for upto 2 years. However, you must return
     before its expiry, and if you want another one, you have to re-apply
     and re-justify.

 (c) You must also prove your intent to be a permanent resident, which means
     maintaining a residence (or at least a semi-permanent mailing address),
     a bank account, and most important, filing federal *and state* tax
     returns every year without fail.

Certainly 30 or even 180 days is perfectly safe, and you can even
probably repeat it forever without losing your GC, provided you follow rule
(c) above.

If you want to stay out for longer periods, getting a re-entry permit
may be wise. Of course, if you keep applying for re-entry permits, the
INS is likely to refuse you, but at least in that case you have lots
of advance warning..

The inhabititants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah

the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are

a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of mountains between
France and Spain.

Pharoh force the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses lead
them to the Red Sea, where afterwards they made unleavened bread, which

I don't think that anyone who's remotely sensitive would disagree with this!

It seems shameful to me that people make fun of her.  If they want to take
pot-shots at Bill & Hillary I still think it's in poor taste, but it's more
understandable.  Bill & Hillary set themselves up for this (or perhaps just
Bill set the both of them up for it), but it's none of poor Chelsea's
doing.

I pity her, I really do.

Yep.  Chelsea is Clinton's daughter (as far as I know), and I can't help but 
feel sorry for the kid.  She didn't pick her parents.  Only problem is, part of
Clinton's base was that of the "family man" and Chel was dragged into it.

Being made fun of at ANY age is rough (especially if you're smack in the middle
of puberty).

	What did Indiana ever do to you?  Something terrible must have happened  
to cause you to have such a viscious hate of them.
	Indiana has already won five NCAA championships in their history?  The  
odds of them winning another someday are pretty good.  It might even happen  
this year.
	I don't understand the logic that ISU is more of a real school than IU?   
I wonder upon what you base that opinion.

soon. what was stated was that in the Good Book it is said that the
