The birthplace of yoga and the spiritual home of the world's most famous meditation traditions, India offers unrivalled opportunities for spiritual nourishment, ranging from basic yoga and pranayama classes to extended residential meditation retreats.
Yoga is taught virtually everywhere in India and there are several internationally known centres where you can train to become a teacher. Meditation is similarly practised all over the country and specific courses are available in temples, meditation centres, monasteries and ashrams. Ashrams are communities where people work, live and study together, drawn by a common, usually spiritual, goal.
Most centres offer courses that you can enrol on at short notice, but many of the more popular ones,need to be booked well in advance.
Yoga (meaning "to unite") aims to help the practitioner unite his or her individual consciousness with the divine. This is achieved by raising awareness of one's self through spiritual, mental and physical exercises and discipline. Hatha yoga, the most popular form of yoga in the West, is based on physical postures called asanas, which stretch, relax and tone the muscular system of the body and also massage the internal organs. Each asana has a beneficial effect on a particular muscle group or organ, and although they vary widely in difficulty, consistent practice will lead to improved suppleness and health benefits. For serious practitioners, however, hatha yoga is seen simply as the first step leading to more subtle stages of meditation which commence when the energies of the body have been awakened and sensitized by stretching and relaxing. Other forms of yoga include raja yoga, which includes moral discipline, and bhakti yoga, the yoga of devotion, which entails a commitment to one's guru or teacher. Jnana yoga (the yoga of knowledge) is centred around the deep philosophies that underlie Hindu spiritual thinking.
Rishikesh, in Uttarakhand, is India's yoga capital, with a bumper crop of ashrams offering all kinds of courses. The country's most famous teachers, however, work from institutes further south. Iyengar yoga is one of the most famous approaches studied today, named after its founder, B.K.S Iyengar (a student of the great yoga teacher Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya), with its main centre, the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, in Pune, Maharashtra (whttp://www.bksiyengar.com). Lyengar's style is based upon precise physical alignment during each posture. With much practice, and the aid of props such as blocks, straps and chairs, the student can attain perfect physical balance and, the theory goes, perfect balance of mind will follow. Iyengar yoga has a strong therapeutic element and has been used successfully for treating a wide variety of structural and internal problems.
Ashtanga yoga is an approach developed by K Pattabhi Jois of Mysore (whttp://www.kpjayi.org), who also studied under Krishnamacharya. Unlike Iyengar yoga, which centres around a collection of separate asanas, Ashtanga links various postures into a series of flowing moves called vinyasa, with the aim of developing strength and agility. The perfect synchronization of movement with breath is a key objective throughout these sequences. Although a powerful form it can be frustrating for beginners as each move has to be perfected before moving on to the next one.
The son of Krishnamacharya, T.K.V. Desikachar, established a third major branch in modern yoga, emphasizing a more versatile and adaptive approach to teaching, focused on the situation of the individual practitioner. This style became known as Viniyoga, although Desikachar has long tried to distance himself from the term. In the mid-1970s, he co-founded the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (whttp://www.kym.org), now a flagship institute in Chennai, in neighbouring Tamil Nadu and, in 2006, an off-shoot now steered by his son Kausthub, called the Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation (whttp://www.khyf.net).
The other most influential Indian yoga teacher of the modern era has been Swami Vishnu Devananda, an acolyte of the famous sage Swami Sivanda, who established the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center (whttp://www.sivananda.org), with more than twenty branches in India and abroad. Sivananda-style yoga tends to introduce elements in a different order from its counterparts – teaching practices regarded by others as advanced to relative beginners. This fast-forward approach has proved particularly popular with Westerners, who flock in their thousands to intensive introductory courses staged at centres all over India – the most renowned of them at Neyyar Dam, in the hills east of the Keralan capital, Thiruvananthapuram.
Meditation is often practised after a session of yoga, when the energy of the body has been awakened, and is an essential part of both Hindu and Buddhist practice. In both religions, meditation is considered the most powerful tool for understanding the true nature of mind and self, an essential step on the path to enlightenment. In Vedanta, meditation's aim is to realize the true self as non-dual Brahman or godhead – the foundation of all consciousness and life. Moksha (or liberation – the Nirvana of the Buddhists), achieved through disciplines of yoga and meditation, eventually helps believers release the soul from endless cycles of birth and rebirth.
Vipassana meditation is a technique, originally taught by the Buddha, whereby practitioners learn to become more aware of physical sensations and mental processes. Courses last for a minimum of ten days and are austere – involving 4am kick-offs, around ten hours of meditation a day, no solid food after noon, segregation of the sexes, and no talking for the duration (except with the leaders of the course). Courses are free for all first-time students, to allow everyone an opportunity to learn and benefit from the technique. Vipassana is taught in more than 25 centres throughout India including in Bodhgaya, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Jaipur.
Tibetan Buddhist meditation is attracting more and more followers around the world. With its four distinct schools, Tibetan Buddhism incorporates a huge variety of meditation practices, including Vipassana, known as shiné in Tibetan, and various visualization techniques involving the numerous deities that make up the complex and colourful Tibetan pantheon. India, with its large Tibetan diaspora, has become a major centre for those wanting to study Tibetan Buddhism and medicine. Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh, home to the Dalai Lama and Tibetan government-in-exile, is the main centre for Tibetan studies, offering numerous opportunities for one-on-one study with the Tibetan monks and nuns who live there. Other major Tibetan diaspora centres in India include Darjeeling in West Bengal and Bylakuppe near Mysore in Karnataka.
Ashrams and centres
Ashrams can range in size from just a handful of people to several thousand, and their rules, regulations and restrictions vary enormously. Some offer on-site accommodation, others will require you to stay in the nearest town or village. Some charge Western prices, others local prices, and some operate on a donation basis. Many ashrams have set programmes each day, while others are less structured, teaching as and when requested. In addition to these traditional Indian places to learn yoga and meditation techniques, dozens of smaller centres open in the coastal resorts of Goa and Kerala during the winter, several of them staffed by internationally famous teachers.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Noel K. Gallagher firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
In the spring of 2006, Joe Orchulli II tossed a message in a bottle from the deck of the tall ship HMS Bounty as it sailed into Portland Harbor.
Scott Nash shows the message in a bottle that he found on Peaks Island.
Photos by Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
The note was inserted into a barbecue sauce bottle and tossed off the HMS Bounty replica.
SCOTT NASH was introduced to Toshiki Sawada as part of a cultural exchange between Maine and Japan.
THE RELATIONSHIP was born out of a shipping tragedy. In 1889, the Chesebrough, owned by Arthur Sewall & Co. of Bath, Maine, and loaded with sulphur, got caught in a typhoon off the coast of Japan, finally running aground on a shoal about a mile offshore. Villagers rescued four members of the crew and were struck by the strange goods, fruits and vegetables that washed ashore. A pear tree that grows in the village today is from a seed planted after the shipwreck.
AS NASH and Sawada discussed the shipwreck that brought their communities together, they decided to collaborate on a children's story.
TO LEARN MORE about the Chesebrough tragedy, and Maine and Japan's sister-city relationship, go to: bath-tsugaru.org/history-of-cheseborough
The bottle bobbed this way and that. The ship sailed on.
And Orchulli, a journalist for the Boothbay Register, got back to work documenting the Bounty's journey from Long Island, N.Y., to Boothbay, where it would get extensive renovations.
The years passed.
What Orchulli didn't know was that his bottle was discovered almost immediately by Scott Nash, a well-known Maine children's book author and illustrator, who was out for a walk with his wife near their home on Peaks Island.
"It was just sitting there on the rounded stones like it was waiting for us to come pick it up," Nash said.
The message looked like something from the 18th century: stiff parchment rolled up in a scroll and tied off with rough rigging twine.
But it was inside a very modern-looking barbecue sauce bottle, and in the bottle was Orchulli's business card.
It hadn't gone far, or been in the water long. Frankly, Nash said, he felt sort of bad for the author of the message.
But it was an unexpected gift, the realization of one of his long-held dreams: to find a message in a bottle.
So Nash placed it carefully among his precious objects, and decided to put off contacting Orchulli.
"We had all the best intentions," he said. "We were going to give it some time, then get back to him."
Then the HMS Bounty sank in October in Hurricane Sandy, killing the captain and a crew member who traced her lineage to a mutineer on the original and infamous Bounty.
The story made national news, and Nash suddenly remembered what he had on the shelf of his office in downtown Portland.
"I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I have a message in a bottle from the Bounty,'" Nash said.
He contacted the Boothbay Register, which put him in touch with Orchulli. They spoke by phone and exchanged their stories of the bottle.
"This whole experience is so surreal, I keep wondering if I'm dreaming or not," said Orchulli, who now lives in Florida and is a worship leader at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Venice. "I'm really thrilled that he's the one who found it."
Nash said his discovery was especially meaningful because he found the bottle just days after he collaborated with a Japanese illustrator, Toshiki Sawada, on a book in which two deer on opposite sides of the world correspond by messages in bottles.
That book, to be titled, "Hello from the Other Side of the World," was never published because Sawada fell ill and died within a year.
"It was heart-rending," Nash said, "We had shared this delightful exchange and it was the end of this creative collaboration. I had sort of forgotten this message in a bottle."
The bottle he found became a totem of a different kind, tied to his memory of Sawada and their work.
Nash said the bottle sat in a glass-door cabinet as he worked on his most recent book, "The High Skies Adventure of Blue Jay, The Pirate."
Nash said he tucked a blue jay feather into the bottle, which he later moved to a shelf behind his desk.
"I tend to roll it out every so often," Nash said.
He told the story to friends, particularly children.
"What was in there felt old to me," he said of the scroll of parchment. "That's one of the things that felt marvelous about it."
The fading message, written in pencil, begins, "I'm sailing on the tall ship HMS Bounty from Greenport, Long Island, to Boothbay Harbor, Maine," and asks the recipient to contact Orchulli.

Experiment with different flavored salsas---mild or spicy, savory or fruity.
I added avocados to a Jicama and Orange Salad found in Mark Bittman's award-winning, "How to Cook Everything." Rinse game hens inside and out. Pat dry and if giblets are present, rinse. Cook with the hens, if desired, then reserve for use in another meal. Sprinkle hens with salt and pepper. Stuff half a garlic clove in the cavity of each hen half and place in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 5 1/2 hours, until hens are tender and juices run clear when pricked with a fork. Meanwhile, toss jicama with orange juice, lime, and salt. You may leave it to marinate for up to 3 hours. Add peeled, sliced oranges, cubed avocado, and cilantro or basil to jicama and toss to coat. Divide lettuce, carrot, and celery between 4 large dinner plates. Remove skin from hens. Arrange 1/2 game hen over each salad plate. Top with salsa and serve with jicama and orange salad.

Spanish Springs downed McQueen in five games 25-20, 23-25, 17-25, 25-20, 15-11 in its second five-game win in as many weeks after topping Bishop Manogue in five last Tuesday. The Cougars improved to 16-5, 7-1 in the High Desert League with the win.
"It's nice to get that experience and know how that works," Cougars coach Frank Sandomenico said. "We told the kids before the game they (McQueen) have no weaknesses. There is no weak player on their team. Usually there is one player you can kind of go after and they just don't have that."
Led by libero Brandi Brucato's sharp defense in the first game, Spanish Springs jumped out to a 10-3 before taking the initial game. The Lancers closed the gap to 17-14 but two following errors put the game out of reach.
Brucato turned in 20 digs, five assists and three aces.
The Cougars dropped the second game 25-23 after failing to take advantage of an opportunity late. Trailing 23-21, Kate Castro sent a ball well beyond the end line but McQueen was ruled to tip the ball with a call that sent the Lancer faithful into a fury.
McQueen took two of the next three points to even the match at a game apiece.
"I was a little disappointed in Game 2," Sandomenico said. "I kind of felt like we had that game and we gave it away. If we go up 2-0 on them, they lose some confidence. I just wish we would have had that killer instinct to put people away when we had the chance."
Trailing 13-12 in the fourth game, and failing to find an offensive rhythm after the first game, the Cougars ripped off eight straight points with the aid of three Hannah Meadows kills. The run gave Spanish Springs a comfortable lead before forcing a fifth game with a 25-20 win.
Meadows finished with 31 assists, 10 digs, eight kills and two aces.
Kelsie Merritt was on the court for two plays Tuesday night but provided a crucial, momentum-swinging kill earlier in the fourth set to prevent her squad from going down by three.
The Cougars did not lead by more than two in the deciding fifth set before a McQueen serving error out of a timeout pushed the difference back to two at 13-11. Next, a Tayler Lodge kill followed by an ace from Meadows ended the game.
Lodge's 15 kills were second on the team only to Gabby Szachara's 16. Lodge also chipped in 16 digs.
"Before the season, if you would have asked anyone they would have picked McQueen as the favorite in our division so the fact we can get a win against them is huge," Sandomenico said.
The Cougars travel to Damonte Ranch for a non-league contest Thursday.
•Reed pulled out an HDL win Tuesday but it was in much less dramatic fashion.
Reed swept aside North Valleys 25-12, 25-20, 25-15 on its home court to improve to 9-5, 4-3 in the HDL.
"I thought we did a good job of playing hard all the way through," Raiders coach Kris Flagtvedt said. "We didn't do the roller coaster thing like we have tended to lately."
Samantha Bailey finished with six kills and six blocks in Maddie Funk's spot in the middle. Funk, who missed preseason and several of the team's opening games with mono, was enduring cold symptoms and Flagtvedt decided to give her the night off.
Annie Braun (26 assists) dispersed the ball well, which unfortunately for her teammates, did not result in eye-popping numbers.
"Annie did a good job of moving the ball around," Flagtvedt said. "The kills were very equal so that was nice to get everyone involved."
Mo Maluotoga led the team with seven kills while Emilie Braun and Kelsey Hicks each finished with six. Braun also threw in eight digs.
Flagtvedt has preached the importance of the Raiders playing clean volleyball on their side of the net and she felt like her squad did that Tuesday.
"I thought we did (play cleaner)," Flagtvedt said. "I didn't see the number of errors but from watching I feel like we didn't have as many errors as we did against Reno and McQueen. So hopefully, we can keep doing that."
The Raiders play at Bishop Manogue Thursday.

About David Alvarez
Councilmember David Alvarez Biography
David grew up in the Barrio Logan community of San Diego, the neighborhood on the working waterfront that has a long history of environmental degradation, high asthma rates, and industrial-residential conflicts. His childhood home was next door to a chrome plating plant, and he can trace his own asthma to the constant presence of toxic emissions affecting residential areas, school playgrounds, and parks. That experience sharpened his resolve to fight for social, economic and environmental justice.
He began his career as a social services worker and after-school teacher. In 2003, he was selected to the prestigious Capitol Fellows Program where he served under the Secretary of State.
After his return to San Diego, David worked with a company that develops new opportunities for affordable housing, and before his own election, proudly represented Senator Denise Moreno Ducheny as a community liaison to the neighborhoods he grew up in.
Elected to the San Diego City Council in 2010, David is currently Chair of the Natural Resources & Culture Committee, Vice Chair of the Land Use & Housing Committee, and a member of the Budget & Finance and Rules & Economic Development Committees. Additionally, he serves on the San Diego Regional County Airport Authority, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System Board, SANDAG Borders Committee, Otay Valley Regional Park Policy Committee, Bayshore Bikeway Working Group, and the San Diego Consortium Policy Board. He most recently joined the Board of Directors for Local Progress: a national municipal policy network.
During his first term in office, Councilmember Alvarez has been successful in restoring vital city services in each year of the Citys budget, including funding increases for libraries, police and fire protection, more street repair and installation of street lights and reducing retiree health care costs.
Other proud achievements include the development of the long-awaited COMM22, a mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented development located at Commercial and 22nd Streets in San Diego; a proposed Property Value Protection Ordinance, which fines banks to cover cleanup costs when they fail to maintain foreclosed properties; implementing the Citygate Plan to address deficiencies in the Citys fire safety levels; revitalizing commercial corridors in District Eight as well as focusing on economic growth and development with new projects such as Mercado del Barrio center in Barrio Logan and the expansion of Las Americas shopping facility near the border. Cross border relationships are important to David as he continues to foster working relationships with his counterparts across the border.
Currently, Councilmember Alvarez is shepherding several important community plan updates to completion including Barrio Logan, Otay Mesa and San Ysidro. Plans are also underway to update the Southeast San Diego Community Plan, which will result in all community plans updated in District Eight. These plans will guide growth and redevelopment in these communities as well as balance the needs of the residents. He recently spearheaded the creation of the Barrio Logan Maintenance Assessment District which will provide much needed maintenance and services for the community of Barrio Logan.
Proudly serving as the Border Councilmember, his focus on the southern portion of his district has resulted in the approval of the Cross Border Facility which will increase new air travel opportunities, ease border waits a critical need for the region, and act as a model for international cooperation. Councilmember Alvarez has also championed significant infrastructure needs in the district, directing millions of dollars to build a missing San Ysidro road segment serving high school students, develop the San Ysidro Library, improve Palm Avenue, design Pond 20 improvements in Otay Mesa, as well as many other vital projects.
Councilmember Alvarez is a strong advocate and supporter of arts in education and helped to restore the Penny for the Arts proposal, which doubles the Citys arts and culture funding over the next five years. His goal is to provide 1 million for education in arts by 2017. David also supports and provides funding for numerous community organization and non-profit programs, as well as local cultural festivals and events.
In addition to continuing to provide prompt and courteous service to all residents, Councilmember Alvarezs priorities include: increasing and safeguarding San Diegos water supply, building a new pedestrian border crossing at Virginia Avenue, creating regional parks at Chicano Park and along Chollas Creek, streamlining regulations for additional parking and for food trucks, creating more opportunities for local small businesses and a designing and funding a joint use park for students at Perkins Elementary and Beyer Elementary Schools.
Councilmember David Alvarez was born in San Diego to Jose and Maria Alvarez and has four brothers and one sister. Growing up in Barrio Logan, David attended local public schools: Perkins Elementary, Memorial Junior High, and San Diego High School. David was the first in his family to graduate from high school and college. He graduated with honors from San Diego State University. Councilmember Alvarez, his wife Xochitl, and their daughter Izel reside in Logan Heights. He is an avid cyclist and bikes to work often.
David is proud to continue the work he began in childhood and strive to carry out every day: to bring social, economic, and environmental justice to the people he serves.

American Hustle: Challenges and Opportunities in Internet Law
Internet litigation and legislation in 2013 drives 2014 challenges and opportunities.
|0 Comments
2014 may be the year that in-house counsel wishes what happens in America stays in America. Greenberg Traurig Internet law attorney Ian Ballon shared this perception as well as many others at his seminar on digital media and litigation strategy, held at Greenberg's San Francisco office on January 28, 2014. He told a sold-out audience that the Internet, mobile and cloud-related litigation and legislation enacted in 2013 offers lawyers a mixed bag of challenges and opportunities.
Here are just a few highlights and takeaways from Ballon's wide-ranging list of predictions.
Highlight: In-house counsel will continue to feel the trickle-down affect of Edward Snowden's NSA leaks.
Takeaway: U.S. companies are starting to feel the blowback from foreign governments' displeasure at NSA's intrusive surveillance. "Companies are nervous about sending data to the States" says Ballon, citing Boeing's recent failure to secure a Brazilian contract for its F/A-18 fighter jets, largely considered to be a done deal prior to revelations that NSA had monitored the personal communications of Brazil's president and other goverment officials.
Highlight: Huge expansion of domain-name systems will put downward pressure on domain prices.
Takeaway: 2014 is the launch date for a barrage of top-level domain applications submitted to ICANN in 2013. Expect to see an explosion of new addresses, triggering a host of implications, Ballon says. "For brand owners there will be sunrise periods and the opportunity to object in advance, with all new registrars bound by the Uniform Dispute Resolution Procedure." This crush of new domain names will also impact the value of individual names. In 2013, such top sellers like IG.com ($4.7M) and KK.com ($2.4M) reaped big bucks. But on the whole, except for certain key names, domain prices are trending lower and likely to continue in 2014.
Highlight: Privacy, text and spam control trolling litigators on the rise.
Takeaway: While there is much talk about patent trolls, class-action lawyers are also going after privacy, text and spam control, trying to find 'gotcha' cases that they bring largely to settle or get statutory damages, where there's not any injury or harm. Defending these claims represents an increasing cost for businesses in the digital economy, he says. Ballon cautions clients: "There are cases that some lawyers are settling and that I personally feel they should have fought. You can win them. And if you settle for a small amount of money, you may still be sued in the next round when the next lawsuit-du-jour comes down. You don't want to be seen as the company that will roll over easily. These type of companies tend to be sued over and over again."
Highlight: New California laws offer children more digital forgiveness and leverage.
Takeaway: 2014 ushers in new California statutes that address revenge porn and online tracking policy disclosures. Garnering much publicity is its new "Online Eraser" law (takes effect in 2015) that requires websites to honor the requests of minors (under the age 18) who want to recant their user-generated content, such as social media postings. This is an interesting notion, says Ballon, because under California law minors are incompetent to enter into contracts yet its legislators created a law that assumes that minors are competent enough to enter into relationships with websites. "It really reflects the fact that not only companies but legislatures are dealing with the issue that so much of e-commerce is now engaged by people that are over the age of twelve (and therefore not subject to COPPA regulation) yet under the age of eighteen, making them still minors."

Q: Was there rain before the Flood?
A: Some Christians claim that there was no rain before the Flood. Many of them make this statement quite dogmatically as if it were obvious from a reading of the biblical text. However, a close examination of Scripture does not bear this out.
Proponents of the "no-rain" view refer to Genesis 2 to support their position. Genesis 2:5–6 states that "the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground" (empashsis added).
From this passage, all that can really be said is that no rain had fallen up to that time—that is, prior to the creation of man. Remember, Genesis 2 is primarily a detailed recap of Day Six of Creation Week. The passage describes the environment before Adam was created. This mist may have been one of the primary methods that God used to hydrate the dry land He created on Day Three. Furthermore, while this mist was likely the watering source for that vegetation throughout the remainder of Creation Week, the text does not require it to be the only water source after Adam's creation.
Some argue that this mist eliminated the need for rain until the time of the Flood. However, presence of the mist prior to Adam's creation does not preclude the existence of or the need for rain after he was created.
Continue reading to consider other aspects of this question, such as the water cycle, "things not seen," and the rainbow.

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Minnesota Department of Commerce Adds to Series of Actions Against Unlicensed Debt Settlement Firms
Companies Accused of Deceptive Practices and Charging Excessive Fees
(ST. PAUL, MN) The Minnesota Department of Commerce is continuing to crack down on unlicensed debt settlement companies using deceptive practices to market their services and charging excessive fees to Minnesota consumers. Today, the department announced it has taken action against two Florida-based debt settlement firms for alleged violations of state law.
According to the department, Financial Independence and Resource Education Inc. (FIRE) of Tequesta, Fla. entered into a contract with a Minnesota resident in January 2010 through which the company would contact all of the resident's creditors and negotiate and settle outstanding debts. The contract allegedly overstated the total debt the resident owed, resulting in higher monthly payments deducted from the resident's bank account under FIRE's program. The resident stated multiple attempts were made to contact FIRE and correct the debt amount on the contract, but the company continued to charge her the inflated monthly amount. Unable to rectify the matter, the resident switched banks and requested that FIRE cancel her participation in the program and offer her a full refund. The company sent the resident a letter, advising her that a refund was not warranted. The department issued a cease and desist order against the company and accused FIRE of making false, deceptive or misleading statement about the rates, terms or conditions of its debt settlement services plan and of charging excessive fees.
The department has also issued a cease and desist order against Consumer Law Group of Boca Raton, Fla. and its owner Michael Metzner. After an investigation, the department alleged that the company offered its services to a Minnesota resident as a faster way for the resident to pay off her credit cards. The resident told the department that $657.57 was withdrawn from her bank account as part of an "enrollment process." An additional $525.57 was withdrawn from her account beginning in April 2010 and continuing every month until August. The resident claimed to have later discovered that Consumer Law Group did not contact a creditor as promised, resulting in collection agency activity against her account. The department has accused Consumer Law Group and Metzner of making false, deceptive or misleading statement about the rates, terms or conditions of its debt settlement services plan and of charging excessive fees.
In addition to the cease and desist orders, the department also will seek civil penalties. Prehearing conferences on both matters will be held on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at the Office of Administrative Hearings in St. Paul.
The recent actions are similar to several others taken by the department against debt settlement companies in recent months. In October, the department ordered One Source Management to pay a $20,000 civil penalty for conducting unlicensed debt servicing activity in Minnesota and charging consumers a fee of nearly $1,000 for services not rendered. The fine followed a cease and desist order issued to One Source by the department over the spring.
In September, Capital Debt Relief of Florida settled with the department after the department accused the company of failing to register to operate as a debt settlement services provider in the state, creating consumer confusion over its services and charging fees in excess of what is allowable by law. According to the settlement, also known as a consent order, the company voluntarily agreed to reimburse consumers all fees in excess of what is allowable by law. The consent order also ordered the company to submit a report detailing the reimbursement of fees and to pay a $20,000 civil penalty to the state as well as $5,000 for investigative costs.
In August, the department entered into a consent order with Strategic Debt Solutions of Maryland, fining the company $1,000 for failing to register in Minnesota and ordering it to stop engaging in any further debt settlement activities in the state until properly licensed.
In May, Freedom Fidelity Management of California settled with the department and was ordered to pay a civil penalty of $20,000 and to stop engaging in debt settlement services in Minnesota until properly licensed. The department accused the company of allegedly failing to register to do business in Minnesota, making misleading statements about the rates and terms or conditions of its services and charging fees in excess of those allowed by law.
Consumers with complaints or questions may call the Minnesota Department of Commerce at (651) 296-2488 or toll free, 800-657-3602.
Check with the Minnesota Department of Commerce to see if a Debt Services Company is licensed.
Choose an agency that offers free face-to-face services to discuss your specific program.
If possible, avoid signing up for a debt services plan over the phone or the Internet as it may put you at risk for losing money to a fraudulent enterprise.
Get any and all debt service agreements in writing and read the agreements before you sign them.
Avoid companies that require high up-front fees, "voluntary contributions" or high monthly service fees that only add to your debt.
Keep in mind, debt service agencies are only allowed to charge fees that are statutorily allowed under Minnesota law.
If you are dealing with a debt management company, make sure you are kept informed about when and how much of your monthly payment is going to your creditors.
Beware of unrealistic promises, such as erasing your debt for pennies on the dollar in a short time span (most legitimate debt reduction plans take two to four years to repay) or promises to reverse a bad credit score.
Know that there are several free, reputable loan counseling services out there.

John Stamos may be known for his eight seasons as Uncle Jesse on "Full House," but his talent extends beyond family-friendly sitcom jokes.
Stamos is an actor with lots of recent credits as well as a musician versed in several instruments, including guitar, percussion and keyboards.
On May 25, he'll show off those talents in Council Bluffs with The Beach Boys.
No, Jesse & the Rippers (Stamos' fictional "Full House" band) aren't coming to town. Stamos will perform in The Beach Boys's band during its performance at 7 p.m. on May 25 at River's Edge Park. The concert is part of Loess Fest, a series of free events to celebrate the opening of the park.
The Beach Boys have included Stamos in their performances since the early '80s — before he was famous as Uncle Jesse. After his success as an actor, the group has continued to invite him to perform.
In case you're wondering what Stamos has been up to since "Full House" (we certainly did), we present a look at his recent resume as well as a couple Beach Boys-related highlights.
on TV
"Full House ended in 1995, but Stamos has kept busy with TV gigs in the nearly 20 years since then.
"The New Normal" — Most recently, Stamos has appeared in five episodes as Brice, a love interest for Ellen Barkin's Jane. Unfortunately for Stamos, the show was recently canceled.
"Glee" — The singing series featured Stamos as Dr. Carl Howell. Carl is a dentist and former husband of Emma, the school's guidance counselor who has appeared in the series since its pilot episode. Stamos lasted four episodes in the show's second season.
"ER" — In the later (post-Clooney) years of the hospital drama, Stamos appeared in 65 episodes as Dr. Tony Gates, a paramedic-turned-ER doc. He stuck around through the show's series finale.
On Broadway
Since "Full House" ended, Stamos has done occasional stints in theater, including roles in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," "Cabaret" and "Nine."
"The Best Man" — Stamos joined the cast last year of Gore Vidal's play about two presidential candidates in a vicious campaign.
"Bye Bye Birdie" — In the famous musical's most recent Broadway revival, Stamos starred as Albert, the agent and songwriter who manages Conrad Birdie. The New York Times said Stamos and co-star Gina Gershon "tend to slide distractingly off key — not violently, but just enough to make you want to hit your ear."
With The Beach Boys
"Kokomo" — Stamos appeared in the video for "Kokomo," playing steel drums and other percussion. (He can be spotted pretty clearly wearing a bright pink tank top.) Though Stamos is in the video (which was released in conjunction with the soundtrack for the Tom Cruise film "Cocktail"), he didn't actually play on the recording.
"Full House" — In the episode "Beach Boy Bingo," the band is in town and DJ wins a contest to see them play. Of course, she has to choose only one person to go to the concert with her. Eventually — through events that could only transpire in a sitcom — The Beach Boys ends up playing "Kokomo" in the family's living room, and the family later performs onstage with the band.

Developer: Derek (Skylark95)
Contact: email@example.com
Website: http://www.skylark95.com/
Thank you for the good reviews and email suggestions! You the users make the success of this app possible!
This app will be out of beta soon once there is just a little more test coverage. With 10,000+ users and no recently reported issues, I would consider the app to be stable.
App developer section of notification sometimes shows private policy after the developer name
Please email me (email@example.com) if you find any bugs or report them on the GitHub project page
This app requires the following permissions. Permissions labeled with "optional" can be changed in settings to no longer be used.
Full Network Access:

Donations are always appreciated for supporting development of this app.
Donations of $1, $2, $3, $5 and $10 can be submitted though the app as of version 2.1-BETA
As I work full time and writing Android apps is just a hobby of mine, I'll try my best to add more features but make no guarantees on the amount of time it will take for updates
To see any ideas that I have come up with but have not implemented yet, please see the issues section on the Github project page and look for items tagged enhancement.
You can also request features by emailing me (firstname.lastname@example.com) or creating a new enhancement on the Github issues page.
Special thanks to the following for making this huge update possible:
CommonsWare Android Components
Jackson JSON Processor
PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser
Maven Android Plugin
Maven Android SDK Deployer
I'll be honest and say this beta release was put together somewhat quickly due to the previous version breaking...
If you find bugs that my current scope of testing didn't seem to catch
Please email me (email@example.com) if you find any bugs or report them on the GitHub project page

*** The Amazon App for Tablets is available on Google Play. Search for "Amazon Tablet" to install the app and begin shopping.
Important note regarding permissions. The Amazon App requires access to the following services to operate properly:
Location: due to the fact that this is now a world wide app, location permissions are required to support a delivery service feature offered by Amazon in France and Japan. Only in those stores is the location data required or used. In those locations you are able to request delivery to a convenience store closest to your current location. That service is not available in other Amazon countries.
Phone calls: within the app you are able to place a call to Amazon Customer Service. Tap Menu -> More -> Help -> Call Customer Service, and we will place the proper number in the phone app and dial it.
Take pictures: bar code scanning and image search require access to the camera function if you choose to start the bar code scanner from the app.

Enjoy features built especially for tablets, including a fun new way to set aside items – press and hold on any product image and fling it to the bottom of the screen.

On Android devices with GPS, we access location information only so that we can provide customers with the option to send packages to a nearby Amazon Locker (a feature only available in the US and UK currently). On Android devices with both WiFi and cellular radios, we access the phone only to determine which radio to use depending on the strength of signal. On WiFi only products, this permission isn't applicable, but Android's security model requires us to ask on all installations. In order to securely send and receive push notifications on your device (should you choose to do so), we need to use the following permissions: "Receive data from Internet" and "Prevent tablet from sleeping".

AWS Virtual MFA
AWS Virtual MFA is an Android application that enables you to use your smartphone as a multi-factor authentication device with AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (AWS MFA). This is an optional feature of your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account that provides increased security when accessing AWS. This feature requires the user to present a valid authentication code provided by their MFA device, in addition to their username and password, before they can sign in.
Supports OATH Standard
The AWS Virtual MFA application supports the OATH standard for Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP), and it can easily be configured by scanning a QR Code with your smartphone or by manually entering a configuration key provided by the AWS Management Console. The app supports the ability to generate one-time passwords for one or more virtual tokens, making it easier for customers who require MFA protection for multiple AWS identities.
Integrate All Your Accounts
You can enable AWS MFA for your AWS account as well as for any AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user associated under your account. All AWS websites, such as the AWS Management Console and the AWS portal, support AWS MFA.

Hi there,
Because the main servers have been laggy lately we have optimized some things between friday and monday. The forum should run a little faster now. Also, we deleted all old topics that shown no activity in past 6 months. Furthermore we are deleting inactive members today, which explains the dropping number of total members and the slowdown on the website today.
Note that the deletion may free up new usernames!
If you have played games in the new ladder, were ever active on the forums, or were active in the last month, you do not have to worry about your account being deleted. Players/users that see their account deleted should re-register.
Next on the list is the further implementation of clan support in a player's profile, player card and in-game. I will be working on the clan ladder after this.
Thanks for understanding!
