Streamline Meditation Training: the Best Brisbane Meditation Coaching
Most everyone deals with stress on some level. If you're experiencing tension, worry, or anxiety, meditation is a great way to restore your calm and gain lasting inner peace. Meditation is easy, inexpensive, and requires no special equipment. You can meditate wherever you are, whoever you are, and no matter what your schedule looks like for the day.
Streamline Meditation provides meditation training in all major cities in Australia (such as Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra) for those who desire to learn this extremely effective practice. Originally meant to deepen one's understanding of the mystical forces of life, meditation is now commonly used to achieve stress reduction and improved quality of life. Types of Meditation
There are many different types of meditation. All types strive to produce a deep state of tranquility and a quiet mind, but some are more effective at this than others. Some types of meditation require you to focus your mind on one specific thing, thereby eliminating the jumbled stream of thoughts that can crowd your consciousness and produce stress. This is known as mindfulness meditation.
Guided meditation is a technique in which you visualise mental images of situations or places you find relaxing, engaging all the senses. This is often led by a guide or teacher. In mantra meditation, you silently repeat a sound, word, or phrase you find calming. There are also types of meditation that involve physical movement, such as qi gong, tai chi, and yoga. All of these types of meditation are aimed at giving you a sense of inner peace and balance that benefits your overall health and emotional wellbeing. Many people seek meditation coaching in Brisbane to take advantage of the lasting effects meditation has to offer.
Benefits of Brisbane Meditation Training by Streamline
Most meditation techniques require you to force your mind to focus on something and block out, or acknowledge and release, other thoughts. Streamline Meditation is different because it is a pure, natural occurring state of profound mental stillness, alertness, and physical rest. During Streamline Meditation coaching, you learn how to let go and allow your body to release accumulated stress and tension naturally, rejuvenating your mind body and bringing the two back into a state of balance.
This type of meditation offers benefits you'll notice in your everyday life, even when you aren't meditating. Streamline students typically notice less stress and anxiety, great mental clarity, improved health, and even happier and more harmonious relationships. Streamline meditation requires no effort or control and does not require you to focus upon the breath, mantras, or images to calm the mind. The idea that the mind always needs something to focus on in meditation is a misunderstanding of real meditation. In effect, when you force your mind to stay focused on something, you keep it locked into subtle levels of thought stream and do not allow it to fully relax.
Streamline Meditation teaches the most natural state of pure awareness possible, giving students the key to pure meditation and improved mental and physical health. Visit http://streamlinemeditation.com.au/ today to learn more or book a training course.

It's live today for PS4 and PS4 Pro
There were some bumps in the road but the HDR patch for The Witcher 3 on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro is now live. And while the main feature is high dynamic range, that's not all:
I don't have a television with HDR support (maybe at the end of the year?), but if I did, I'd happily take this patch as an excuse to load up The Witcher 3. Nearly three years later, the game is still giving.
The Witcher 3 patch for PS4 and PS4 Pro is out! [The Witcher]

A gay Russian couple became the first to have a same-sex marriage legally recognised in their homeland – only to be hit with criminal charges and a state denial that their marital status was ever approved.
Eugene Wojciechowski and Pavel Stotsko tied the knot on 4 January in Denmark, where same-sex marriage is allowed, then returned to Moscow to see if their marriage would be recognised by Russian authorities.
To their surprise, a civil servant took one look at the Danish certificate and updated their passports to reflect the union.
But the couple's joy was short-lived as they were then charged with "intentional damage to passports or negligence".
The Moscow Department of the Interior denied that a government employee had stamped their passports but the couple insisted on TV channel Rain that that had happened.
Russian news agency Interfax quoted the Department of the Interior as saying: "Article 19.16 of the Administrative Code on deliberate damage to documents entails a warning or an administrative fine in the amount of 100 to 300 rubles [£1.26-£3.78]."
Russia prohibits same-sex marriage but the couple had sought to use a loophole to achieve official recognition by getting married abroad then transposing the status into recognition at home.
Foreign marriages are deemed legitimate provided they do not contradict Article 14 of the Family Code, which does not explicitly refer to same-sex unions.
Enquiries by Rain TV at the Moscow office were rebuffed. Further discussion on the matter would be "inexpedient", reporters were told.
Gay rights in Russia are vastly inferior to those in Western Europe. Homosexuality was decriminalised in 1993 but homophobia among the general populace is rampant and Vladimir Putin has been challenged by leaders including Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron to address the issue.
In 2013, Russia introduced a controversial "gay propaganda law" which banned the "promotion" of homosexuality among minors. Critics saw it as state-sanctioned inducement of homophobic violence and stigma.

Currently, we are working in Zuni Pueblo with local artists on an artwalk project in our home state of New Mexico. Part of the American Southwest for thousands of years, the people of Zuni include both fine artists and creative entrepreneurs known around the world for their amazing and unique work with pottery, silver, precious stones, and fetish carvings.
But, because of factors like geographic isolation and limited broadband internet, creatives based in Zuni are still figuring out how to succeed without having to constantly travel to art shows, even though their work is in high demand. The artwalk project merges both digital and offline strategies to bridge that gap, connecting an amazing and talented group of creatives to meaningful opportunities and economic independence.
Partners in the project: Zuni Pueblo Mainstreet, Artplace America, Zuni Pueblo Department of Tourism, Indigenous Design Planning Institute, University of New Mexico School of Architecture & Planning, Ashiwi College and Career Readiness Center, The Ovation Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Visit www.zunipuebloart.org to learn more!
Past Creative Economy projects include the Costa Rica Cultural Corridor and the New Mexico Agritourism Initiative.
Creative Startups is a 501(c)3, and your donation assists creative and cultural entrepreneurs in these regions working to grow their startups and businesses into community assets.
In recent years, authenticity has been an issue of concern. Zuni artwork is being replicated and manufactured en masse to be sold as 'authentic' Zuni art. To the end, the ArtWalk is an important step forward to help promote both the artist and their authentic works of art.

Well gang…I won't go into all the magical and amazing workings of the universe which led me to do a complete 180 and consider planning a somewhat large event again…just suffice it to say that the stars aligned and it felt like it was happening, even before I said YES.
This new version of Artfest will happen next spring once again at the amazingly beautiful, Fort Worden State Park. Like past Artfests, it will start on a Wednesday night and end on Sunday morning. We are excited to launch a brand new agenda for this event. It will include evening gatherings and lots of classes; 6 to be exact (instead of 3 in the past). You will get 2 teachers a day, 3 hours for each with a 2 hour lunch break in between.
Tracy and I have our team already picked out for this first one: 3 Men and 3 Women! Michael DeMeng and his wife Andrea Matus DeMeng, Jesse Reno, Orly Avineri, Tracy Moore and Me. We will each teach you our unique styles and techniques involving drawing, painting, collaging, lettering, mixed media, methods, and more all on the pages of a large journal. When you go home, the journal will be filled with juicy art, your own essence, and tons of good energy from a weekend with friends, both old and new.
Fort Worden has had new management for the past 3 years (just after the last Artfest in 2012 happened) and we saw some great changes on our recent visit; like a staffed reception in the main dining hall that is open from 7am-midnight. This will be a huge bonus for those of you who experienced the fun of locking your keys in your room at past Artfests (lol…) and of course many other things you might need help with. The fort just recently got rid of the old food management company in favor of a well known chef who specializes in local cuisine. I've only heard raves about him so far so I'm excited to be able to add gourmet food to the list of Artfest plus's.
While at the fort, Tracy and I were overwhelmed yet again with the beauty and energy that surrounds that place. That was our final criteria…We had to feel in our gut that it was the right thing to do and knew if we visited the fort, it would be black and white, one way or the other. Not only were we convinced but we were practically jumping out of our skins with excitement and hope! Port Townsend has been on a couple of national lists recently as being in the top 10 best small towns in America to visit and a stroll through town reminded us why.
I'm going to keep this event to 144 people to start. I may expand to a bigger event in the future, but we did receive numerous requests for a bit smaller event and we concur it is a good idea.
This is just the initial information for you right now. Full information and registration details will be available in August with registration starting around the first of September.
We hope to see you there!
Teesha and Tracy

In a previous post I wrote about how much the new connection manager (2.10.4) mutilates the connection on the computer. Well currently there is a simple fix that addresses the issue. I have tested it multiple times and seems to work fine on both, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Here is the following commands that (should) fix up the issue fine.
If anyone tries this, and it successfully works, please comment here and let me know.
Windows XP
start > run > cmd [press ok]
netsh winsock reset
netsh interface ip reset
restart PC and test
Windows Vista
start > start search > command [press enter]
netsh int ip reset
restart PC and test
The above commands should fix up the issue people are having with 2.10.4 on both Windows XP and Vista.

OISC Firm With Former Immigration Solictors
What are the differences between Immigration Solicitors and Barristers in immigration law?
There are a number of key differences in the roles that immigration solicitors and barristers undertake within law.
Immigration Solicitors are regulated by a body called the SRA which is based in Central London. The SRA regulates all solicitors, whether they undertake visa and immigration work or not. An immigration solicitor can undertake legal work outside of immigration law, such as advising criminals. In practice, however, many firms would have one lawyer who specialises in immigration law and another who would be able to advise and specialise in criminal law.
Barristers are those lawyers who have no direct specialisation in taking on cases from the beginning; rather they have traditionally been used to come into a case at a later point in he proceedings – either to attend court or to research a particularly unusual point of law. Whilst barristers have the time to research these points, they tend not to have little support administration or staff to enable them to take on a client from beginning to end.
Our staff includes former immigration solicitors, immigration barristers and other special legal advisors – all of whom provide expert advice to individuals in all matters relating to U.K bound immigration.
Our results speak for themselves and we are one of the leading immigration solicitor firms working in the United Kingdom.
Our strengths include:
- Offering in depth knowledge.
- An approachable and friendly approach.
- High level of client care and service.
- Rapid response to issues in your case.
Westkin Associates is fully regulated by the OISC, the UK body that regulates specialist immigration solicitors in the United Kingdom. The OISC does not regulate Immigration Solicitors or other advisors who undertake UK visa and immigration work. Westkin Associates are regulated to the Highest Level – Level 3. This allows us to undertake all aspects of UK Immigration applications and UK Immigration Appeals.
We specialise in all aspects of UK immigration law including:
- Investor visa and other visas for high net worth nationals;
- Entrepreneur Visas and other programs;
- Global and Corporate Mobility for Employers;
- Marriage and other Relationship visas;
- EEA and European Free Movement;
- Citizenship by Investment programs – such as St Kitts and Antigua;
- All forms of family reunion;
- Student and other visas;
- All forms of visit visas including visas for medical purposes.

The adrenal gland is a common site of metastatic disease, with a reported prevalence of 3.1% in one large retrospective study. [1] Modern cross-sectional imaging, such as computed tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has revealed that adrenal metastases occur more frequently than previously believed. CT scans of normal right and left adrenal glands are shown in the images below.
A diagnosis of adrenal metastasis is important in examining patients with cancer, because metastasis indicates stage IV disease. (In this article, references to staging refer to tumor, nodes, and metastases [TNM] staging, unless otherwise stated.) Except in ipsilateral renal cancer, the presence of metastases almost always influences the choice of treatment.
Benign adrenal tumors may occur in the general population and in patients with cancer. In the general population, it has been estimated that 2-3% of incidentally found adrenal masses are malignant. [2]
Preferred examination
Noninvasive characterization is important, because it prevents unnecessary biopsy. In adults, CT scanning is the ideal imaging modality for detecting abnormal adrenal glands (see the images below). In patients with primary malignancies that have known predilections for adrenal metastases (especially melanoma, lung cancer, and breast cancer), CT scanning of the abdomen is useful for staging to exclude metastatic disease. [3]
The usefulness of ultrasonography is limited to detecting large tumors in adults. Children, in whom imaging is less difficult, may be suitable candidates for US.
Often, MRI is expensive and not widely available. MRI is useful for further noninvasive characterization of adrenal masses.
Radionuclide studies may help to demonstrate that a lesion is a functioning adenoma, although false-negative results are known.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning may be helpful in differentiating incidental adrenal adenomas (the lipid-poor variety) from small metastases.
A finding of a focal mass in the adrenal glands does not necessarily indicate metastasis. Percutaneous biopsy often is the next step if CT and MRI scan findings do not help in conclusively diagnosing benign conditions.
Limitation of techniques
Imaging findings can demonstrate metastasis only if an alteration occurs in the outline, the size, or the internal characteristics of the adrenal gland. A normal-appearing gland does not exclude microscopic involvement.
One study of patients with small-cell lung cancer showed that as many as 17% of adrenal glands with morphologically normal CT scan findings had positive results for metastasis on fine-needle aspiration. Small adrenal metastases (< 2 cm) are difficult to detect with ultrasonography.
Plain-film imaging of adrenal masses is limited. Large masses are often indistinguishable from renal lesions, and the presence of calcium is not a specific finding (see the image below). The presence of phleboliths is suggestive of an adrenal hemangioma.
If the plain-film radiographic findings suggest an adrenal lesion, further evaluation may be performed with CT scanning or MRI. The choice of investigation is determined by availability.
The negative predictive value of normal abdominal radiographic findings is low, because even images of relatively large adrenal lesions may not demonstrate changes.
Computed Tomography
Adrenal metastases appear as focal masses (see the image below) or distortion of the contour of the adrenal gland. Larger lesions may have central necrosis or hemorrhage. These lesions are heterogeneous and may have thick, enhancing rims. They may also invade contiguous organs, such as the kidneys. Adrenal metastases of less than 3 cm may be homogeneous. [4, 5]
Attenuation values of less than 10 HU on unenhanced CT scans of the adrenal glands are indicative of lipid-containing benign lesions, such as adrenal adenomas (specificity, 100%; sensitivity, 85%); however, lipid-poor adrenal adenomas have attenuation values of more than 10 HU. Attenuation values of 24-37 HU on enhanced CT scans obtained 15 minutes to 1 hour after the administration of contrast material are also indicative of benign lesions (specificity, 96%; sensitivity, 79%). Washout imaging is critical for the characterization of lipid-poor adrenal adenomas. [6]
The attenuation values of the adrenal glands are more useful than their size for making the diagnosis. The use of the size threshold alone has poor specificity regarding high thresholds (size >2.5 cm: specificity, 79%; sensitivity, 84%) and poor sensitivity regarding low thresholds (size < 1.5 cm: specificity, 93%; sensitivity, 16%). [3] Bilateral involvement may be seen in a number of benign conditions, such as adrenal adenomas, pheochromocytomas, and tuberculosis.
CT scan findings that may mimic those of left adrenal masses include a mass in the upper pole of the left kidney, gastric diverticulum, splenic lobulation, and a large mass in the tail of the pancreas.
The image below demonstrates CT scan findings that confirm the absence of a mass.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Adrenal metastases are usually hypointense on T1-weighted images and relatively hyperintense on T2-weighted images (see the first image below). The exception is metastatic melanoma, which may be bright on T1-weighted images (see the second image below). Occasionally, lesions may remain hyperintense on long–echo-time, T2-weighted images, mimicking pheochromocytomas.
Chemical-shift imaging with in-phase and out-of-phase imaging techniques is used to exclude metastatic disease by detecting the presence of intracellular lipid within adrenal gland lesions. On out-of-phase images, the lesions have lower signal intensity, because the signal from lipid cancels the signal from water by an amount that varies (depending on the quantity of fat present). [5]
By comparing out-of-phase images with in-phase images (in which signals from lipid and water are summed), very small amounts of lipid that cannot be demonstrated with other methods can be detected; however, lipid-poor adenomas do not lose signal intensity on out-of-phase images. An adrenal metastasis might not contain lipid (see the image below).
Conventional spin-echo MRI and contrast-enhanced MRI findings with benign and malignant conditions have too much overlap to be useful. A small number of malignant tumors, such as metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic renal cell carcinoma, metastatic liposarcoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma, may contain enough fat to decrease the signal intensity on out-of-phase images.
Adrenal metastases appear as solid lesions with heterogeneous echogenicity on sonograms, as seen in the image below. The echogenicity of the lesions is usually less than that of the surrounding fat (hypoechoic).
Ultrasonography of the adrenal glands in adults is technically difficult to perform. When it is performed by an experienced operator, ultrasonography can reveal the right adrenal gland in 92% of patients and the left adrenal gland in 71% of patients. Scanning is performed after the patient fasts to reduce bowel gas. In newborns, the adrenal glands are easily imaged. The medulla of the adrenal gland is highly echogenic, and the adrenal cortex is less echogenic. The adrenal glands are more easily visualized in typically sized adults (those with a thin habitus). [7, 8]
False-positive and false-negative findings may include the following:
Adrenal pseudomass
Thickened diaphragmatic crus
Accessory spleen
Gastric fundus
gastric diverticulum
Renal vein
Splenorenal varices
Retrocrural and retroperitoneal adenopathy
Upper-pole renal cyst and/or neoplasm
Pancreatic mass
Hypertrophic caudate lobe
Fluid-filled colon
Nuclear Imaging
Nuclear scintigraphy with iodomethylnorcholesterol (NP-59) may be helpful in differentiating benign from malignant lesions. Gross et al showed scintigraphy with NP-59 was 71% sensitive, 100% specific, and 93% accurate when determining whether an adrenal lesion was benign or malignant. [9] Benign lesions show uptake, although hemorrhage and inflammatory masses are confounding factors.
Imaging with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is an alternative technique that is performed with positron emission tomography (PET). Various studies have shown evidence of success with FDG PET scanning. [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15] . PET has been shown to be excellent at differentiating adrenal lesions detected by CT or MRI, with 93-100% sensitivity, 90-94% specificity, and 92-96% accuracy. [16] PET-CT may lead to false-negative findings with lesions that are less than 10 mm in diameter or in the setting of hemorrhage or necrosis. PET-CT adrenal lesions are considered positive when the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) is greater than that of the liver, although SUV greater than 3.1 has also been suggested. [16] (See the image below.)

If an owner fulfills all of its duties under the mechanic's lien law, then its liability for all lien claims will not exceed the contract price. While an owner is not required to comply with the notice requirements of the lien law, it does so at the risk of paying twice for improvements where the contractor may not have paid certain lienors. An owner should not make a final payment unless it has received the Contractor's Final Affidavit. A final payment under a building contract, made by the owner to the general contractor without first securing sworn statements from the contractor, is not considered "properly made". As a result, the owner becomes responsible to the contractor's unpaid subcontractors and materialmen in the amount of the final payment.
In addition, the owner must file a Notice of Commencement. A materialman's lien was found to be enforceable against a homeowner where the homeowner, without knowledge of unpaid materials, paid a contractor in full upon completion of the contract and the homeowner had neither filed a Notice of Commencement nor obtained a contractor's affidavit. This was the case even though the materialman did not serve a Notice to Owner until after the homeowner had paid the contractor in full.
An owner must pay careful attention if the contractor abandons the project or is terminated. Specifically, the owner must comply with the re-commencement procedures so that all future payments to the new contractor are considered proper. Following the abandonment of a construction contract by a general contractor, liability of the owner to subcontractors may be limited to the contract price remaining after deducting payments properly made.

Bengal cats are very muscular and prefer to be active. As with all cat breeds, they prefer to interact with their owners rather than be left to entertain themselves. As with any pet or small child, Bengal cats and kittens need to be socialized on a regular basis. Bengal kittens are very easy to train and can learn to understand a number of commands, just as a dog is trained.

Skateboarding Stands Front and Center at ASR January
January 7, 2008
Skateboarding Stands Front and Center at ASR January
Expanded skate hardgoods section, Native American skateboarding and Lord of the Lines contest enhance skate's presence at ASR
Skateboards, and those who create and innovate products to further skateboarding, stand front and center at ASR, January 24-26. As ASR attendees step onto the show floor from registration, they will be entering straight into the new skateboard hardgoods section. Throughout the show dozens of skate focused events will add to the vibrant energy found at ASR.
"Like most board sports, hardgoods are the essence of the skate marketplace and industry," says Andy Tompkins, ASR Show Director. "ASR is always looking for new ways to help support the industry and expand the market. Creative events, specialty sections and newsworthy exhibits are just a few of the tools in our chest."
Board-Trac's Size of Market Report indicated that last year $5.2 billion was spent on skateboarding gear, apparel, and accessories. IASC, the skate industry trade association, cites over 12-million skateboarders in the US, and 25-million worldwide. ASR January will showcase over 50 of the world's strongest builders of decks, trucks and wheels that push skate participation.
ASR has teamed up with IASC to present the most complete collection of skate hardgoods available to retailers today. Some of the brands exhibiting in the hardgoods' area at ASR include, Stereo, Darkhorse, World Industries, Destructo, Deluxe, and Listen.
"We see ASR as a great way to kick off 2008," says Kevin Lewis, VP of Sales and Marketing at Stereo. "We expect great things with the attendance, and always welcome the chance to meet our customers face to face, shake their hands, and say thanks!"
According to Todd Harder at the Inter-Tribal Skate Group, skateboarding is one of the fastest growing sports on Native American reservations today. An exhibit on the influence of skateboarding on Native American culture is currently on display at the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian is bringing an abbreviated version to the ASR lobby. Adjacent to the exhibit, four Native American skateboarding brands will be displaying product.
"A lot of the Native kids can relate to skateboarding because it is an extreme sport that speaks to the kids' warrior spirit and bravery is one of our traditional values," says Harder. "In any arena people identify with images and likenesses that they are familiar with."
A wide variety of skate contests and demos are taking place at ASR January including the Matix Lord of the Lines contest. From 1-4:00pm on Saturday, Matix will host an invite only list of pro/am skaters to compete on a series of rails and other features for a $16,000 prize purse, a LOTL record.
Master board maker, Paul Schmitt brings CreateAskate, a non-profit that offers students the chance to make their own skateboard decks, to ASR's Skate Hardgoods Section. The goal of CreateAskate at ASR is to educate retailers on how to attract new customers to skateboarding and inspire shop owners to implement programs that create a positive image of skateboarding.
In between checking out lines and attending the many events, ASR attendees can check out the mini-ramp and a mix of flat ground and obstacles for street skating. The mini-ramp, built by Jim Bell, will be 64 feet wide with multiple heights and extensions.

"The good news about the Assembly Majority's budget proposal is that as a resolution it has no force of law. The bad news is that it reinforces a misguided mentality that over-taxes, over-spends and over-regulates.
With $1.7 billion in tax increases this year and $5.7 billion in tax increases over two years, the Assembly Majority's one-house budget sets off a fiscal fire alarm that would send the most mobile New Yorkers running for the exits. New York can scarcely afford to lose another million residents.
Each year, spending increases are treated like a given without even a single thought of holding the line. There is a reason New York is continually ranked as one of the highest-taxed states and one of the worst in which to own a business and retire. We must stop throwing money at a problem and expecting that to fix it, especially in the face of a budget deficit.
It is not surprising, but it is disappointing that the one-house resolution:
- rejects a 2 percent property tax cap;
- fails to adequately fund roads, bridges and highway infrastructure;
- continues to under-fund salaries for direct-care professionals;
- provides no assistance for job-creating small businesses; and
- maintains $4.8 million in cuts to veterans programs
The Assembly Minority Conference has consistently advocated for legislation to reduce taxes, make the cost of doing business and living in New York more affordable, and provide needed support to residents, communities and local governments. As we move toward the April 1 budget deadline, we will continue to advocate for critical issues that have not been adequately addressed.
I look forward to working with legislative leadership and Gov. Cuomo to craft a more fiscally-responsible budget that works for the people of New York. There is much work to be done."

Judge Rejects Amended Redistricting Plan
Ellen Lockyer, KSKA – Anchorage
A State Superior Court judge has sent an amended redistricting plan back to the Alaska Redistricting Board. Fairbanks judge Michael McConahy ruled Friday that the Board must draw a redistricting plan "solely compliant with the Alaska Constitution," requiring the Board to "make findings of fact sufficient to allow the courts to independently measure each district against constitutional standards."
Court Says 2008 Sitka Citizen's Initiative Was Legal
Robert Woolsey, KCAW – Sitka
The Alaska Supreme Court ruled Friday that a controversial 2008 citizen's initiative in Sitka was legal and should have gone before voters. The decision reverses a lower court ruling.
The proposed initiative was seen by many as a way to control further development at Sitka's former pulp mill site – including a possible cruise ship dock. But the litigation doesn't mention ships at all. The underlying issues may be much larger.

Matt Lichtenstein, KFSK – Petersburg
Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood leaders made a unique boat trip through the waters of the inside passage this month. Their voyage harkened back to the days when local camp officials from towns and villages around the region would travel on fishing boats to attend Grand Camp conventions. The brotherhood was founded a century ago, followed a year later by the sisterhood. So this journey had special meaning for the cultural and civil rights organizations. KFSK's Matt Lichtenstein caught up with them when they stopped in Petersburg.

One of the most popular dog clipper brands available today is Wahl. In fact, Wahl, Andis, and Oster are three animal clippers brands pet owners favorite most.
Wahl is famous for its professional grooming products for both dogs and humans. This brand has given an unbeatable customer service as well as great warranties.
In this article, we will talk about the list of best Wahl dog clippers on the market today.
Things to Consider when Choosing Dog Clippers
Dog Clippers vs Human Clippers
Some pet owners use human clippers on their four-leg friend. This is not advised for a dog owner because this can lead to the risk of pulling the skin into the blades. As a result, your dog can get cuts to his skin.
Also, human clippers come with blades that are thinner than dog clippers. Moreover, they are easily clogged and blunt. Once again, keep in mind that this can lead to the risk of cutting the dogs' skin.
Cordless dog clippers
It's not difficult to see the development of cordless clippers. You can get more flexibility when using a dog clipper from a rechargeable battery. These products don't require a power cable when grooming. However, these clippers are limited to running time. Then, you need to recharge the battery.
When it comes to rechargeable clippers, we have to mention the weight. Actually, these dog clippers are heavier than corded clippers. So, this is also an important thing to consider.
Different dog clippers will come with different noise and vibration. In fact, clippers with a power cable will offer quieter sound as well as less vibration when compared to cordless clippers.
Therefore, it's best to buy two types of clippers is worthwhile if you are a busy groomer. One is used for puppies and nervous dogs. Another is used for versatile grooming.
The last factor to consider when choosing a dog clipper is the blades. They are designed to fit your needs. The fact is that blades come in various lengths depending on the length of the dog hair.
In addition to the dedicated blades, comb attachments are also mentioned. They are available for a variety of different lengths created. They also used to offer a more versatile range of lengths. When using the comb attachments, you can protect your dog's roots by cutting the hair from the ends.
Actually, blades may be made of different materials. We advise you to choose a clipper with ceramic blades to reduce the heat when grooming. Now, it's time to look at our top best dog clippers from Wahl. Let's check it out below!

Deep In the Heart
There are reasons for not particularly enjoying residency in Texas; beginning with the brutal summer heat, and working down through the serious lack of good mountains, distance from the seacoast, the brutal summer heat, highway interchanges that look like the planners just threw a plate of spaghetti at a wall-map, self-chuck-holing surface roads, the brutal summer heat, a distressing tendency for citizens to drown in urban low-water crossings, a high percentage of drivers of large vehicle who completely spaz out when it rains, the brutal summer heat, urban downtown areas which look like Calcutta had thrown up on Los Angeles.... And the fact that everything is bigger applies to the insect life as well. You wanna see a garden spider large enough to snag small birds? Check out my back yard in the springtime ... but bring along a baseball bat. And did I mention the brutal summer heat?
Against those considerations, though, there is an even longer list of reasons to relish living in the Lone Star State. In no particular order of importance, we also have...
Wildflowers; square miles of wildflowers; in spring the highway verges, empty lots, and hillsides look like impressionist paintings.
Given enough rain, the countryside looks really, really quite pretty. Not spectacularly scenic, just lots of gently-rolling country, cut across with green rivers and creeks. The Hill Country is rather more enthusiastically rolling. West Texas is really, really rolling, but not very green most of the year. More medium crispy, and not to everyones' taste... but this being Texas - where everything is bigger - there is more than enough of it all to go around.
Fields of grazing cows; restful to observe, although in some places that view is varied with buffalo, llamas and other exotica.
The HEB grocery chain. Statewide powerhouse, offering a matchless combination of quality, excellent service and attention to detail; if it isn't on the shelf at your local HEB, you probably don't need it anyway. There are whole sections devoted to local salsa, hot sauce and BBQ sauce.
Austin local music scene; not that I know much about that first hand, other than seeing "Austin City Limits" on PBS but my daughter does: she made me put that in.
Local history: a rich mine containing many solid gold nuggets. As Churchill once remarked about the Balkans, Texas produces almost more history than can be consumed locally.
Breakfast tacos; the food of the gods... oh, ye who only know of this marvel through the medium of Taco Bell should hide your faces in shame, and make a pilgrimage to San Antonio on your knees. I solemnly swear that every block of every main avenue has a breakfast-taco place on it somewhere, many also offering drive-through service.
Finally, Texas has an exuberant sense of place. Utah is the only other state I know which possesses the same strength of identity, of pride in a shared history; both states having been independent and entities during their founding decades. Sometimes this strikes new visitors as overstated, but after a while it's kind of endearing, and makes other places seem bland in comparison.
And finally, this is only a personal and purely anecdotal statement... but I do believe that out of all other bodies of human beings in the world, a substantially higher proportion of them will slide out of this existence and into the next, breathless, exhausted and whooping triumphantly, "Day-am! What an incredible ride!"

When comeback boy Chris Brown appeared on Monday morning's Today show, the R&B singer put to rest rumors that he and Rihanna have split again.
News that the two had broken up swept the Internet thanks to a confusing tweet from L.A.'s Power 106, which quoted Brown answering "no" to the question "are you still with Rihanna?" And although a station rep later told E! that quote was from a much older interview, Breezy himself set the record officially straight on today's Today.
"Everything is fine," Brown told host Matt Lauer, adding they were "absolutely" still a couple.
The beleaguered hitmaker also told Lauer about his 52 weeks of counseling and what it has been like "having to regain public opinion, or whatever it is." According to Breezy, he knows what he did "was wrong" and he's "never doing it again. [Rihanna] knows my heart and I know her heart."
And although Brown has put to rest his beef with Frank Ocean—he told Power 106 the alleged fight was "sensationalized and blown outta proportion"—he's still not cool with his other brawl buddy, Drake.
"[Drake] and I don't see eye to eye. We never gonna see eye to eye, so you go your way, I'ma go mine," Brown told Hot 97's Angie Martinez of the YMCMB rapper, who the rumor mill linked to Rihanna during her split from Brown. "I don't really try to talk about him when I'm around [Rihanna]. I just lay the pipe."
Charming, as always. Watch the Angie Martinez interview below to hear Brown's full thoughts about the world jonesing for RiRi.

Volunteering is important because giving back as a human being is what life is about. I have overcome a lot in life, but bad things happen to good people all the time. The question is do you pick yourself up or do you wallow in self-pity. Everybody has a story. Are you willing to sit and listen and make an effort to help?"
Caitlan Chorbak's path through life has been one of remarkable resilience and resolve. As a baby she was left on the side of the road and adopted through a Catholic charity. Yet that uncertain start didn't stop her from rising to the top of her high school class and soon after enlisting in the military. She served for seven years and when discharged she, like many veterans, struggled to integrate back into civilian life.
"When I came back I was completely lost, I had lost my sense of identity," said Caitlan. "The thing of it is there is a lot of stigma in the public and a lot of people don't see us for who we are. We are great individuals, with great minds."
Caitlan's own struggles upon returning to civilian life exposed a problem with alcohol that lead her to Alcoholics Anonymous. Her path then led to work with the homeless population in Jacksonville. One night she ran into somebody she had served with in the Military who was now homeless.
"I was floored," Caitlan said. "I went on a warpath and totally immersed myself in the community. For me it's pretty simple, I firmly believe in coming together to take care of your own."
Caitlan became involved with The Mission Continues, a veterans' group dedicated to using skills learned in the military to serve their communities in new ways. With just a small team, she hits the streets multiple times a week to provide needed items, and help veterans set long term goals to get into a more stable situation. She also gives many hours to The Mission Continues to help with a variety of projects such as painting schools, building playgrounds, and replacing fences.
In addition to all this, Caitlan is a fulltime student working towards a Business Degree. When asked what she does in her free time, her response was volunteer and hangout with the homeless.

Pooches, like people, display some outward signs of aging. Graying can be one of those signs, but it's not always one of the first. The appearance of gray hairs varies from breed to breed, and some dogs are more prone to premature graying.
Graying With Age
In general, dogs enter their senior years between the ages of 7 and 10 years of age, according to the ASPCA. Typically, you are likely to see the first signs of graying around the muzzle, particularly in breeds with dark coats or back muzzles. The dog's coat is likely to be less luxuriant than in his youth as he ages. Some breeds with a black mask, such as the Great Dane, may gray prematurely at around 5 years of age.
Doggy Genetics
Doggy genetics affect your pup's tendency to graying. Breeds with a Gg or GG genotype are more likely to have coats that lighten with age. Primarily these are long-haired breeds like the bearded collie, poodles and a variety of terrier breeds.

22451 VC – California Vehicle Code 22451
22451 vc – Fail to Stop for Red Signal at Railroad Crossing
Definition of California Vehicle Code 22451 vc
California Violation Code 22451; So, you've got a red light ticket? Ticketbust can help you fight it.
(a) The driver of any vehicle or pedestrian approaching a railroad or rail transit grade crossing shall stop not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail and shall not proceed until he or she can do so safely, whenever the following conditions exist:
- (1) A clearly visible electric or mechanical signal device or a flagman gives warning of the approach or passage of a train,
car, or on-track equipment.
- (2) An approaching train, car, or on-track equipment is plainly visible or is emitting an audible signal and, by reason of its speed or nearness, is an immediate hazard.
(b) No driver or pedestrian shall proceed through, around, or under any railroad or rail transit crossing gate while the gate is closed.
(c) Whenever a railroad or rail transit crossing is equipped with an automated enforcement system, a notice of a violation of this section is subject to the procedures provided in Section 40518.
(d) For purposes of this section, "on-track equipment" means any locomotive or any other car, rolling stock, equipment, or other device that, alone or coupled to others, is operated on stationary rails.
Cost of California Vehicle Code 22451 vc
The actual cost of violation code 22451, fail to stop for red signal at railroad crossing, can be much higher than just the court imposed fine for the ticket. If you just pay the traffic ticket, a point will be added to your driving record and can stay there for 3 more years. Think about it, depending on how many points you have on your driving record and who you use for your auto insurance, the true cost of this one traffic ticket on your driving record could end up being $2,700 or more over 3 years.
You may also want to keep in mind that if you have 4 points on your driving record in on year, or 6 points in 2 years, or 8 points in 3 years, the DMV will suspend your driver's license. If this happens, you can bet it will cost you a lot more in possible lost wages, court fines, and other personal expenses due to the lack of having a valid driver's licenses.
The estimated total court fine for violation code 22451, fail to stop for red signal at railroad crossing, will vary based on the additional county and city fees added on to the State fine for this ticket.

There are two general approaches for trying to make long putts. One is to try to roll the ball into a three-foot diameter circle around the cup. This is the lag theory of long putts in which the primary goal is to prevent three-putts. The more aggressive approach is to focus on making the putt, regardless of length. Putting instructor Geoff Mangum argues that the two theories are like comparing apples and oranges. He says golfers should "learn fine distance control" to avoid three-putts, while trying to die the ball at the cup, since a slower moving putt has a better chance of catching enough of the cup to drop. This should be done "without altering your targeting focus on sinking the monster." As the late, great teacher Harvey Penick would put it: "Take dead aim."
Read the break correctly. Writing for "Golf Digest," former LPGA Tour player Annika Sorenstam said former PGA Tour player Dave Stockton taught her to divide long putts into three parts -- the starting line where the break is minimal, the second portion where the ball reaches the apex of its curve and the third portion when the ball is rolling the slowest and consequently breaking the most. Sorenstam advocates reading the overall break from behind the ball and then judging the speed by standing at the midway distance of the putt. Getting a feel for how fast the ball should be rolling at the midpoint gave Sorenstam a good idea of the overall pace of the putt. She then walked back behind the ball and made a practice stroke while looking down the line to further visualize the pace.
Keep the same rhythm for long putts as you do on shorter ones, but make a few adjustments in your setup to take a longer stroke. Place your feet slightly wider than on a shorter putt, just over shoulder-width apart. Keep the ball in the front-center of your stance. Stand a bit more upright than on short putts. This allows your arms to swing more freely for a longer back swing and follow through.
Make a longer, slower stroke, according to famed instructor Butch Harmon. This gives the head of the putter time to gain momentum from the longer back swing. Allow your wrists to react to the weight of the club by hinging them a bit. This prevents you from rushing the back swing and making a "short, stabby motion. The result is poor contact and a putt left short," says Harmon.

Helen Keller disability awards to 11 role models
Eleven people and organisations were honoured with the NCPEDP-Shell Helen Keller Awards here Sunday for being role models to the disabled and helping them lead better lives. Monday is World Disability Day.
In the 'Role Model Disabled Individuals' category, Abdul Sajeed Ali, Ketan Kothari, Radhika Chand and Sangeeta Gala were felicitated.
Ali is credited with making the Andhra Pradesh government ensure employment for the disabled under the 100-days' job guarantee scheme while Kothari brought systemic changes to help visually-impaired people have access to the printed word.
Of the other two awardees, Chand is an artist and school teacher while Gala, who is hearing-impaired, is an associate director to filmmakers Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Mani Ratnam.
In the 'Role Model Non-Disabled Individuals' category, the awardees were Ishita Sanyal for promoting employment of mentally-ill people and R. Hari for making his Lemon Tree Hotels an inclusive workplace.
A Special Mention Award was also given to J. Jaishree Thandwal for promoting recruitment of hearing-impaired people in IT company MphasiS.
In the 'Role Model Organisations' category, Aegis, EuroAble, Lemon Tree Hotels, Sun ITES and Wipro were awarded, besides a Special Mention Award for Accenture for its recent diversity initiative.
The awards were instituted in 1999.
"When we look at this year's awardees, we see things have improved in 14 years. But somehow, the public sector continues to do badly, despite the mandated three percent reservation. Opportunities for people with severe impairment and those with psychosocial, intellectual and developmental disabilities are still dismal," said Javed Abidi, honorary director of National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP).
"Disability is a matter of perception. The Paralympics in London this summer, watched by the same capacity crowds as the Olympics, showed the heights of achievement in sport by people disadvantaged in some ways but more than making up for it in others," said Yasmine Hilton, chairman, Shell India. - IANS

19 CFR § 10.21 - Updating cost data and other information.
When a claim for the exemption is predicated on estimated cost data furnished either in advance of or at the time of entry, this fact should be clearly stated in writing at the time of entry, and suspension of liquidation may be requested by the importer or his agent pending the furnishing of actual cost data. Actual cost data must be submitted as soon as accounting procedures permit. To insure that information used for Customs purposes is reasonably current, the importer shall ordinarily be required to furnish updated cost and assembly data at least every six months, regardless of whether he considers that significant changes have occurred. The 6-month period for the submission of updated cost or other data may be extended by the Center director if such extension is appropriate for the type of merchandise involved, or because of the accounting period normally used in the trade, or because of other relevant circumstances.
