Poor Me

It's a long story. My 94 Toyota Corolla is dead now after running well for 5 years. Staring from last month or two months ago, when I was driving normally, I could feel the car was accelerating while I didn't move my foot on pedal every few days. Last month, the engine oil light was on 4 times and check engine light was on twice while driving. When the light was on, sometimes the car lost power. When I turned off engine and restart the oil light off again. I checked and filled up the engine oil. Then I went out for a trip for 3 weeks. After coming back and first day to work, I found my battery was dead and has to jumpstart it. Worst things happened when I driving home from work. The two lights was on for several times. At the last 2 times, there was a great pressure on brake pedal and power steering seemed failing. Though this can be reset after restarting, it finally die and couldn't be started with check engine light flashing when turning the key. Is it timing belt or transmission?

I saw a sentence in a USCIS document:

"USCIS will accept Forms I-129F, I-131, I-140, I-360, I-485, I-765 and I-907 filed with the new “Direct Filing” location in advance of the July 30, 2007 effective date, that are otherwise properly filed."

I have no problem to understand the sentence if the word "otherwise" is not there. However, with the word "OTHERWISE" as is, does it change the meaning of the entire sentence? What difference it has with and without the word? Can I still file a prperly filed form before 07/30?

Thanks in advance for your help!

How to kill the weed "Annual Bluegrass" in lawn in Summer now? I am in NJ and have missed the season of using preemergent herbicide. I couldn't find any proper weed control in HomeDepot. Most of the herbicides are for broad-leaf weeds but not grassy weeds. Any suggestions?

I am trying to move my win sbs 2003 server from a machine A to a machine B. I was plan to use Ghost to duplicate the hard disk from A to B and then updating drivers. However, after doing this, the machine B won't boot. Any suggestion is appreciated. One thing bothers me is, the HD in A is using IDE and the HD in B is using SATA. Not sure whether that's what caused the problem. Please help!
