Ambareesh Baliga, Independent Market Expert told CNBC-TV18, "I think the steam in housing finance companies has just started because we started talking about this about 3-4 months back saying that the Budget should be very positive for affordable housing and that is exactly what has happened."
"The sort of sops which have been given right from service tax to income tax, they have increased the carpet area, made it 60 square metres which actually means about 950-1000 square feet because of which a lot of projects will come under affordable housing."
"From that point of view, I think one should look at stocks like Godrej Properties, Sobha and Puravankara. These are the stocks to be looked at," he said.
"I will look at buying Tata Motors at around Rs 475-480."

Regional incentives
Doing Business in Brazil
Explore Content
Manaus free trade zone (zona franca de Manaus)
The Manaus Free Trade Zone, regulated by Decree-Law No. 288/1967, is a free import and export trade area where special fiscal incentives apply. It was set up with the objective of creating in the Amazon Region an industrial, commercial and agricultural center under economic conditions that allow its development, given local factors and the great distance separating it from its markets.
Today, around fifty years after it was founded, the Manaus Free Trade Zone represents a virtuous Brazilian government development model that has managed to make a socio-economic base in the Amazon region feasible, promote the better productive and social integration of the region with the rest of Brazil, and guarantee national sovereignty over its borders.
During its historical evolution, the Manaus Free Trade Zone has enabled three economic hubs to be devel-oped: industrial, commercial and agricultural. The first of these, represented by the Manaus Industrial Sector (PIM), is considered the foundation stone that sustains the model.
The Manaus Free Trade Zone has a set of tax and other incentives available especially to attract and keep investments in its area of influence. These incentives have been made available by a joint action between the Federal and State Governments, offering:
Federal Taxes Incentives
- Import Duty Reduction (II): 88% reduction for consumables used in industrialization;
- Excise Tax Exemption (IPI);
- Corporate Income Tax Reduction (IRPJ): 75% reduction of Income Tax and Non-Refundable surcharges, exclusively for reinvestments. Common to all the Legal Amazon.
- Social Integration Program Tax (PIS) and Social Security Contribution (COFINS) Exemption/Reduction: Exempt for imported goods and internal sales between industries within Manaus Free Trade Zone, and reduction for 3.65% aliquot – rather than 9,25% – on finished goods sales to the rest of the country.
State Taxes Incentives
- State Value Added Tax Reduction (ICMS): Reduction from 55% up to 100% of the ICMS, depending on the investment project. In all cases, to use the incentives, companies must contribute with funds for financing high education, tourism, R&D, and small and micro-companies.
Other Incentives
- As well as the tax incentives, the Superintendence of the Manaus Free Trade Zone provides land for investors for a subsidized price, with urbanized road system, water supply network, telecommunications network, sanitary sewer and rainwater drainage.
To be eligible for MFTZ's incentives the produced goods must meet the Brazilian PPB (Basic Productive Process), which determines the level of nationalization required for each type of product, since the initiative aims to encourage the national industry. The PPB is defined by joint decree of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Information and the Ministry of Development, Industry and Trade.
North and Northeast
Before the 1930s – Brazilian development policy was based primarily on exports, but in the late 1930s, Brazil implemented a development policy based on import substitution. As a result of this action, South and Southeast Regions increased their share of the industrial provision at the expense of the other Regions (North, Northeast and Midwest), leaving those regions far behind.
In the 1960s – Brazilian government implemented policies to counterbalance the Regional development by stimulating investments, consequently, economic growth on the lagging regions. As a result of these policies, Development Agencies were established in the North (Superintendence for the Development of the Amazon - SUDAM) and Northeast (Superintendence for the Development of the Northeast) regions with the purpose of coordinating the development funds and granting tax incentives.
This tax incentive mechanism intends to benefit investments in the North and Northeast regions, in the State of Mato Grosso and in some municipalities in the northern region of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, in activities considered vital for Brazilian development.
Historically, the vast majority of foreign investment has been concentrated in the country's Southern and Southeastern states. However, recent data suggests that this dynamic is changing. In order to achieve a competitive edge and access markets with incredible growth potential, multinationals are beginning to look to investment opportunities outside the traditional investment centers.
The North and Northeast regions are being seen as potential destinations. These two regions have tremen-dous room for future growth and investors are starting to realize these opportunities.
Main taxes incentives offered by Sudam and Sudene
Corporate Income Tax Reduction
- 75% reduction on the CIT and non-refundable surcharges due on operating profit (Lucro da Exploração), granted for 10 (ten) years term.
- General preconditions for the incentive eligibility:
- Submit the project until December 31, 2018;
- Operate in SUDAM or SUDENE's covered region;
- Be in an economic segment that is considered priority for regional development, as defined in Decree 4.212/2002 and 4.213/2002;
- Invest to implement, expand, diversify or improve projects;
- In case of modernization or expansion of an existing project, the minimum increase of production capacity eligible is 20% for investments in infrastructure and 50% for other investments.
Corporate Income Tax Reinvestment
Corporate entities may use 30% of the CIT due for reinvestment purposes. The 30% portion must be deposited in Northeast Bank (Banco do Nordeste do Brasil S/A – BNB) or Amazon Bank (Banco da Amazônia S.A.), plus 50% of its amount from own funds. In order to have the resources reimbursed, the company must submit a technical project to the competent Development Agency attesting that the company invested in modernization projects or equipment complementation projects. As soon as the project is approved, the amount invested is returned to the company.
Incentivized Accelerated Depreciation of fixed assets depreciation and discount of PIS/PASEP and Cofins contributions
Companies enjoying the 75% reduction of income tax incentive and located in less developed micro regions areas under the supervision of SUDENE and SUDAM are entitled to incentivized accelerated depreciation of assets acquired for the purposes of income tax calculations and to a discount on credits of PIS/PASEP and Cofins contribution. The incentive consists on the full depreciation within one year in the very year of the asset acquisition or up to the fourth year. The Regional Agencies may grant this benefit after analyzing beneficiaries' requests regarding compliance with the Law 11.196/05.
Exemption of Freight Surcharge for Merchant Marine Renewal (AFRMM)
This surcharge is intended to renew, enlarge and recover the domestic merchant fleet, therefore is levied on all imports transported via maritime freight, and does not apply to imports made by land or air. The AFRMM is levied on the freight charged by Brazilian and foreign navigation companies operating in Brazilian ports. Such charge is calculated on freight price at a rate of 25%.
The AFRMM Incentive consists on exemption of the surcharge to companies:
- Located on the North and Northeastern region;
- Has its activity listed as a priority for regional development, according to the Decree 4.213/2002;
- Has imported goods directly involved in its production (fixed assets, raw materials or intermediate goods).
This benefit was ended December 31st, 2015, however there are initiatives being processed in the Brazilian National Congress for its renewal for up to 5 (five) more years, consecutively the Senate Provisional Measure No. 694/2015 and the Chamber of Deputies Bill 1241/2015.

Spring is here and with the warming weather comes rain, melted snow and potential flooding. Almost every Utah home has foundation cracks and if they are not fixed these cracks allow damage causing water to enter the basement at some point.
Spring is here and with the warming weather comes rain, melted snow and potential flooding. Almost every Utah home has foundation cracks and if they are not fixed these cracks allow damage causing water to enter the basement at some point.
Interwest Piering & Concrete Lifting is excited to announce that we are now certified contractors of the patented Stabil-loc Foundation Piering System!
Spring is here and that means it's time for spring cleaning and household repairs. Interwest Piering & Concrete Lifting has to take a break in the winter as concrete lifting in the cold can result in concrete breaking. As the weather warms, Interwest Piering & Concrete Lifting is preparing for the season of concrete repairs.
First impressions are a vital part of selling a home. If there is concrete damage outside the home, potential buyers are more likely to pass by without ever stepping foot inside to see what your home has to offer.
Concrete is durable yet porous and highly susceptible to damage caused by Utah's winter weather conditions. Temperatures fluctuate above and below the freezing point frequently during the winter months, this freeze/thaw cycle has the most impact on concrete.
Concrete is a valued asset to most homeowners and it can be devastating to have to spend money, sometimes soon after building a home and paying initial costs for new concrete, to replace concrete areas.
Because of their shape, helical piles screw into the ground rather than being augered or forcefully driven into the soil. Instead, torque is applied to screw helical piers into the ground. This method is less disruptive to the soil and doesn't generate the surplus of waste and spoils that is often brought to the surface when using drilled shafts or augercast piles. With little to no augered soil to worry about, helical piles virtually eliminate unexpected hauling and disposal costs.
Cracks around your home, fissures in the chimney, or the presence of water in the basement can all be signs foundation problems. These foundation damages can often be corrected with foundation wall anchoring, a simple, quick solution that can stabilize your foundation and prevent further damage.
Foundation piers play a vital role in supporting the entire weight of the building above. It is critical for these piers to be calibrated and adjusted to reinforce the foundation beneath the pressure of the structure. Our Magnum Steel Push Piering System performs load testing and provides the most stable and accurate foundation support.
Uneven soil setteling, improper soil compaction and the presense of excess water underneath concrete slabs are the most common culprits in sinking concrete Utah.
It is common for houses in Nephi, Utah to experience significant settling of soil after the foundation of the home has been poured. Improper soil compaction is most often the cause of soil settling leading to shifting foundation and concrete damage.
Interwest has designed a total foundation pier system that incorporates and builds upon the practice of using brackets to stabilize a foundation. Rather than expecting your foundation to remain stable standing on only a few pillars, we have developed a more comprehensive system of solid piers strategically placed across the entire foundation.
A customer in Nephi had searched and eventually found the perfect home, or so they thought. They fell in love with the layout, the location and it checked off all their requirements. Their long search for their perfect home was over, but all progress was halted when they discovered that the foundation of this perfect home had settled.
With the sub freezing temperatures and snow on the ground, winter is officially upon us. We have had a great year concrete lifting and the cold temperatures outside mean that we have entered our slow season for concrete lifting.
As Interwest Piering & Concrete Lifting reaches the 5 year mark of providing Utah with concrete lifting and repair, our team is reflecting on our growth and successes. We have covered a lot of ground, lifting concrete in Salt Lake City, Provo, Lehi, Nephi and across Utah. We have lifted concrete steps, driveways, sidewalk slabs, basement floors and entire home foundations!
Concrete settlement in Utah is all too common. The soil in Utah is known to shift quite a bit and contractors often do not compact the soil well enough to compensate for increasing soil shifting trends. This leads to the frequent occurrence of excessive concrete damage and necessary concrete lifting repairs.
The Utah concrete lifting and repair process has emerged as an innovative, cost effective alternative to total concrete replacement. Replacing concrete is extremely expensive and all too often homeowners are faced with damaged, sinking concrete only years after initially covering the cost for brand new concrete.
Interwest concrete lifting experts recently completed a number of concrete repairs around a home in Draper, Utah. Concrete lifting and void filling were required in various portions of the home's surrounding concrete.
Using an advanced concrete lifting process, Interwest concrete experts were able to lift the floor of a Salt Lake City home back into place while saving the homeowner thousands of dollars.
Our Interwest concrete lifting team successfully completed a difficult 3 car garage floor concrete lifting project in Lehi Utah. Using our advanced concrete lifting methods we were able to save our customer thousands of dollars!

Health workers reported being locked out of their systems and seeing messages demanding ransom payments to regain access.
By midafternoon, officials with NHS Digital, which oversees cybersecurity for the national health system, told the New York Times that at least 25 hospitals had been hit by the attack.
An alleged hacker unconnected to the incident told Sky News the attack could spread to almost every country in the world. One computer security expert said "Eternal Blue" was used as the "crowbar" that effectively opened the doors to computers, making them vulnerable to attack.
Anne Rainseberry, incident director at NHS, issued a statement reassuring patients that they could access services in an emergency but cautioned that hospitals were still dealing with the aftermath of the attack.
No hackers have claimed responsibility for Friday's global cyberattack, nor have they been identified in other ways. The malware then displays a window informing users that their files have been encrypted and that they can be recovered in lieu of a payment made in bitcoin. "Today we see the cost". After that, the price would be doubled.
The window includes a countdown clock that threatens the files will be lost permanently in seven days.
Microsoft released a patch to address the vulnerability, but networks that did not adopt it would have remained vulnerable. The infected systems rendered files encrypted and inaccessible and a warning flashed across the screens.
Responding to Friday's cyberattack, Reuters reported Microsoft saying that it was pushing out automatic updates to defend Windows systems from the Wanna Cry attack.
At least one Russian agency was hit by the ransomware - a fact that emerged after earlier conflicting reports. Russia's Interior Ministry said Friday it had come under cyberattack.
The emergencies ministry told Russian news agencies it had repelled the cyberattacks while Sberbank said its cyber security systems had prevented viruses from entering its systems.

This will be a "big, big story", he said, but the "left-wing media" will probably "downplay" his vindication. So, if that's what they felt was best for the company, I'm not going to hammer them", he said.
He said it's likely the ransomware will spread to US firms too. The agency did not identify those countries.
Reports indicate that as many as 40 offices connected to NHS were impacted, though according to The Guardian, the United Kingdom hasn't yet moved to confirm this figure.
Cybersecurity experts differ on particular assumptions about the attack, but all agreed the campaign appears massive and possibly unprecedented in scope.
Doctors at some surgeries were forced to use pen and paper to record patient details following the attack, local media reported. The interior ministry said on its website that about 1,000 computers had been infected but it had localized the virus. You don't have to be there. It can infect other computers on the same wireless network.
This is not targeted at the NHS, it's an worldwide attack and a number of countries and organisations have been affected. In a statement released around 11:30 a.m. ET, the system's digital office said, "This attack was not specifically targeted at the NHS and is affecting organizations from across a range of sectors".
It remains to be clear whether the companies affected by the attacks will pay the requested ransoms - as much as $300 in bitcoin per machine, as reports indicate. "The investigation is at an early stage but we believe the malware variant is Wanna Decryptor", officials at NHS Digital said in a statement.
"We are also working with CERT NZ to provide information on how individuals, small businesses and operators of larger systems can reduce their vulnerability to ransomware attacks", he said.
The Shadow Brokers released Eternal Blue as part of a trove of hacking tools that they said belonged to the USA spy agency.

Winterfest '13 is going on at six different Pine Cove locations this December! Winterfest is basically summer camp at Christmastime. It takes all the fun of a week at summer camp and wraps it up in an action packed, fun-filled weekend. The only thing missing is the 100-degree weather!
Winterfest weekend is Dec. 13-15 with camps available for grades 2-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12.
Although I've never been to Winterfest or sent a kid there, I know what to expect because I know Pine Cove. And by sending your children there, whether it's for Winterfest or any other event, you know you're entrusting them to Godly, servant-minded leaders who are crazy, spontaneous and fun and who want nothing more than for your child to know God in a more intimate and personal way.
Pine Cove is good, good stuff.
At Winterfest, your child or teen will experience unforgettable free time activities like zip lining, barn swinging, rock climbing and more. Plus they'll experience passionate worship services, new like-minded friends, and one-on-one discipleship. What better way to spend the Christmas season?
Attending any event at Pine Cove is an investment. During this time of year, we tend to spend time and money on so many unnecessary things. Why not invest into our children's lives instead? Spend some time and money on something that will have an eternal impact on them. That sounds like the best kind of Christmas present to me.
The cost of all Winterfest camps is $196 per camper; however, Pine Cove is offering a special $25 discount for my readers! Just use the coupon code KELCIEBLOG13 when you register online or call 877-474-6326.
The winner of my "Itsy Bitsy Christmas" giveaway is Amanda Farris. Amanda, I will email you about claiming your prize.

"Price is a lot better than Comcast! Still getting used to the programing. Couple channels not available like DisneyJR. On Demand does not compete with Comcast. Over all not bad."

| Puyallup,
"I hate the service, tried to call and cancel 8 days after we signed up because of the massive amount of infomercial channels, unorganized channel menu, and lack of choices. We are a young married couple with young children trying to save a buck and on the package we choose there is no kids channels like sprout, or nick Jr. the on demand feature is non existent even though the sales man Blake told us there was on demand. It is glitchy and we have to reset our box every few days. I was told there is nothing dish will do about our unhappiness and when I tried to reach the sales man, I was repeatedly hung up on. Haven't received the gift card or gift certificate we were promised for signing up either. I make it my new mission to let everyone know how awful dish is. I'm counting the months until we can end our service...Oh yea, wasn't told about the 2 year irreversable contract and fee either until 8 days later when I tried to call and cancel. Horrible company!!!"

OUTLET Fine Art is pleased to present NSFW, a group show that examines the politics of the male nude, featuring paintings by Margot Bird, Martha Hipley, GaHee Park, Alexandra Rubinstein, Helen Selsdon, Brenda Zhang, and a choreographed artwork by Kenya Johnson, all female artists. Please join us for an opening reception Friday March 18th from 7-10pm. The exhibition will continue through April 17th with the peformance date to be announced.
Within the idyllic* world of the art establishment there is an uncomfortability with both the depiction of the nude male body and the recognition of women as valuable artists. According to acclaimed artist collective, The Guerilla Girls, less than four percent of artists in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Modern Art Section are women but seventy-six percent of the nudes are female.** This uncomfortability is at the heart of NSFW, an abbreviation meaning Not Safe For Work often used when sharing licentious images of naked women online. Seeking to flip the script on the conversation about represenation, OUTLET is presenting five artists whose works offer a different way of looking at the body, masculinity, and perspective.

Taillteann Defensive Battle
From Mabinogi World Wiki
- For a quick comparison of shadow missions and difficulties, see Category:Shadow Mission Lists.
- For other missions, see Category:Shadow Missions.
- Defeat the enemies that spawn at Taillteann's three gates. Your party must split up so that all gates are being guarded.
- Four different monsters will spawn at one time. They spawn every 40 seconds.
- Each gate is allowed to fall twice. If the same gate falls three times, the entire mission is failed.
- After a fall occurs, all remaining monsters and NPCs are despawned and a new wave will instantly spawn closer to the alchemy building.
- Two allied NPCs assist in guarding each gate. If both NPCs die, a fall is counted for that gate.
- Tip: The allied NPCs can be healed. Use this to your advantage.
- If you allow too many monsters to spawn at once, it will also count as a fall.
- Although there is no set time limit, the mission lasts approximately 18 minutes or 12 Erinn hours.
- Reward chest appears in the central square.
- You may choose the difficulty of the mission. See Shadow Missions for more information.
Mission Information
- Quest Board Location: Taillteann
- Party Size: 3~6
- Time Limit: None
Click to enlarge. The gates that must be defended are marked.
- Regular Spawns
Monster Spawn Patterns
- All four of the above monsters spawn together.
- Note: Basic version has Shadow Lancer (Light Armor), and Hard version has Shadow Lancer (Light Armor Strong) instead.
Mission Advice
- Have a high ranked healer assist Npcs when they are damaged.
- Using a puppet's Act 6: Crisis followed by Act 7: Climactic Crash will do heavy damage every wave, even on higher difficulties.
- At lower difficulties, Rank 1 Windmill is recommended for soloing gates.
- Using Dragon Support will NOT kill or hurt the guards, so it safe to use.
- Using Ice Mines may result in a failure, due to the guards being caught in the Ice Mine.

Outsiders may still believe that the Green Bay Packers have a long way to go on the defensive side of the football. Yet, what they might not realize is the Packers have been collecting talented defensive players since the 2012 NFL Draft and this will be the year when we start seeing the fruits of that labor.
One area in particular where the Green Bay defense will be much improved this season is going to be the interior pass rush.
Being able to put pressure on the opposing quarterback is essential for any NFL defense to be successful. The quarterbacks and receivers are too good and the rules are too in favor of the offense to allow the quarterback time to throw in the pocket. If is happens consistently your defense will be exposed and in the past few years that is exactly what has happened to the Packers.
Since the departure of Cullen Jenkins following the 2010 season, the Packers have struggled to fill the void he left. He was and still is a tremendous interior rusher, a player that makes a greater impact than his numbers suggest. His absence clearly impacted the Green Bay defense but with Mike Daniels, a fourth round choice in 2012 and Datone Jones, a first round pick in 2013, paired together as the top interior pass rushers for the 2014 season, getting pressure up the middle should no longer be a concern.
Daniels has already established himself as one the best up and coming interior rushers in the game after an impressive 6.5 sack season in 2012. Jones meanwhile is extremely talented and racked up 3.5 sacks during his rookie campaign but injuries and adjusting to the pro game limited his impact.
That should all change in 2014. Jones is healthy and he has worked to improve his strength in order to take on bigger, strong offensive lineman in the NFL. It's also not out of the ordinary for defensive lineman to take a little longer to develop. They can no longer get by simply by power and athleticism and it takes a while to adjust.
Therefore, if Jones can take a similar leap in year two that Daniels did is his second season, opposing offenses better watch out because the Packers interior pass rush is going to be dominant.
Let's also not forget the potential impact B.J. Raji could have after being moved back to nose tackle, his best position within the Packers defense. Back in 2010-2011, when he was playing nose on a consistent basis, Raji posted 9.5 sacks and earned a Pro Bowl berth. Mike Neal, who is also a skilled interior rusher should also see more opportunities rushing inside with the healthy return of Clay Matthews and the addition of Julius Peppers.
Daniels, Jones, Raji and Neal form a foursome that should terrorize opposing quarterbacks from the middle of the defense. Most teams are lucky to have one or maybe two solid interior pass rushers, the Packers have four of them; and that is one reason why the Packers defense will be much improved during the 2014 season.

You need the mineral zinc for healing wounds, immune function, cell division and formation of proteins and DNA. Without zinc, you also wouldn't be able to smell or taste properly. This mineral is found in many foods, including oysters, crab, beef, lobster, pork, beans, chicken, yogurt, cashews, almonds and fortified breakfast cereals. Although there are some potential health benefits from taking zinc supplements, you shouldn't do so without first discussing it with your doctor to make sure it would be safe for you.
Treatment of Zinc Deficiency
Women need about 8 milligrams per day of zinc, and men need 11 milligrams. If you don't get enough zinc from your diet, supplements may be helpful for preventing or treating a zinc deficiency. This type of deficiency is most likely after severe diarrhea, long-term tube feeding or major surgery, or in alcoholics or people who have difficulty absorbing nutrients from food due to gastrointestinal conditions. Symptoms include hair loss, impotence, weight loss, taste abnormalities, skin and eye lesions, diarrhea, impaired immune function and mental lethargy.
Zinc picolinate, zinc acetate, zinc citrate, zinc monomethionine and zinc glycerate are better absorbed than the less expensive zinc sulfate, which also tends to cause more side effects, such as an upset stomach.
Improving Immune Function
You need zinc for the development and function of a variety of cells involved in immune function, including neutrophils, macrophages, T cells, B cells and natural killer cells. A study published in Biogerontology in October 2006 found that giving elderly people with low zinc levels supplemental zinc helped improve their immune function. This doesn't mean that supplemental zinc will be helpful for people with normal zinc levels, however.
Other Potential Benefits
Zinc supplementation may shorten the duration and lessen the severity of diarrhea in children with low zinc levels, help heal leg ulcers in people with low zinc levels and decrease the risk of age-related macular degeneration, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. The evidence is still preliminary and conflicting, however, so further research is necessary to verify these benefits. Taking zinc supplements may also help limit the symptoms of Wilson's disease because it may decrease the absorption of copper.
Zinc lozenges taken within a day of getting a cold may help lessen both the severity of symptoms and the duration of the cold, according to a review article published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in 2011. The lozenges stay in your mouth long enough that they come into contact with the cold virus, which isn't the case with pill forms of zinc supplements.
Things to Consider
Don't take zinc supplements if you have human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS or diabetes. If you take zinc supplements, MedlinePlus recommends zinc gluconate supplements because they are lower in cadmium than some other types of zinc supplements. Cadmium can increase the risk for liver problems.
Zinc supplements can cause diarrhea, vomiting, mouth sores, nausea, copper deficiency and an increase in prostate cancer risk. You can limit the gastrointestinal side effects if you take zinc with food. These supplements can also interfere with other medications, including diuretics, antibiotics, calcium, vitamin A, copper, iron, penicillamine, diabetes medications and the cancer medication cisplatin. Don't take zinc and chromium picolinate at the same time, as zinc and chromium compete for absorption.
Zinc can be toxic, so don't take more than the tolerable upper intake level of 40 milligrams per day. Toxicity symptoms include headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, loss of appetite, diarrhea, reduced immune function and low levels of high-density lipoprotein, the "good" cholesterol.

1. What is the Cross Breeding Program?
In the early 1980's there were only 11 breedable Chinooks in the world. In order to increase genetic diversity and avoid significant in-breeding, breeders working to save the breed bred out to non-Chinooks from breeds that were part of the original formula in creating the Chinook breed. The idea was to breed these Chinook Crosses back to purebred Chinooks, creating new lines. Thus, in the late 1980's and early 1990's, there were several cross-lines in existence.
In the mid-90's, the Chinook Owners Association, in cooperation with the United Kennel Club (UKC), codified a program to manage Chinook crosses and regulate future breeding of these dogs. The Cross Breeding Program recognizes the importance of the infusion of new genes into the Chinook breed. The program permits only breeds purported to be in the Chinook to be used as non-Chinooks, and requires at least four generations of breeding back to a purebred Chinook before a line can be considered purebred. At the final generation, the litter is not automatically accepted as purebred. Instead, individual dogs from the litter at two years of age may apply to be registered as a purebred. In order to qualify as purebred, the dog must meet the breed standard according to a UKC judge and must have passing hips and eyes by recognized hip and eye registries. One Chinook Cross line has already produced three purebred dogs, and several other lines will be offering dogs for examination in the next few years.
This is a unique program, and it has been recognized as a positive way to save rare breeds. The UKC allows intact crosses that are approved in the COA's program to be registered in the UKC Limited Privileges Program. This allows intact crosses to participate in UKC venues. This is an exception for our program, as all other dogs in the LP program must be spayed/neutered. The COA holds a National Chinook Cross Specialty each year, and may provide other conformation venues for crosses.
2. What is the difference between a Purebred Chinook and a Chinook Cross (re: health, temperament)?
Chinook crosses have the same superior qualities of purebred Chinooks. They are intentionally bred for the same appearance, structure and temperament. The 2003 health survey found no significant differences related to health, although Chinook crosses clearly had a lower incidence of eye problems. First generation crosses, dogs coming directly from the non-Chinook breeding, tended to have some of the breed qualities of the non-Chinook breed. For instance, a first generation Husky cross may have a tendency to run (a distinctly Husky trait) and a first generation German Shepard line may have more guarding instinct (a Shepard trait). These non-Chinook traits all but disappear in the second generation. Chinook crosses can participate in all UKC dog sports except conformation showing. As long as an owner does not want to participate in conformation showing, there is no difference in relation to access to dog venues. Crosses tend to have a little higher drive, so they may make better working dogs – they've had great success in sledding, agility and obedience.
3. How can I make sure I'm getting a Chinook Cross that is approved by the Chinook Owners Association?
Puppy buyers should always beware of unscrupulous breeders in every breed. There are people who may try to sell "unregistered" purebred or crossbred Chinooks. If a dog is "unregistered" there is no way for you to verify that you are getting a Chinook. If you are buying a Chinook for its characteristics but you don't buy a registered Chinook, you may not get what you want.
There are only two registries for the Chinook breed, the United Kennel Club and the Chinook Owners Association. The United Kennel Club is the only national registry for the purebred Chinook. The AKC is considering acceptance of the breed, but has not accepted the breed as of yet. A UKC registered Chinook will have a pedigree issued by the UKC. The Chinook Owners Association acts as the registering body for Chinook Crosses. The COA issues a Certificate of Acceptance, signed by the COA registrar, to all crosses accepted into the Cross Breeding Program.
When buying a purebred Chinook, buyers should ask to see the UKC pedigrees from both parents. When buying a Chinook cross, buyers should ask to see the Chinook Cross's COA Certificate of Acceptance and the purebred's UKC pedigree. Most Chinook breeders are also providing DNA parent verification to demonstrate parentage and authenticity.

Paramore Complete New Song
Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams has revealed that the band are working on their fourth album and have already completed the first track.
Via a lengthy statement on the band's official website, Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams has revealed that the band are working on their fourth album and have already completed the first track, which is titled "Daydreaming":
"The guys and I went in to record a song for our 4th album about a week and a half ago, it was all very exciting. At the end of our time in the studio, it was clear to us that this was definitely right! So without delaying any longer, we would like to announce that our 4th album's producer is Justin Meldal-Johnsen. And what the heck, we might as well tell you that the one song we recorded will be called 'Daydreaming'."
As Gigwise reports, producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen has worked with a number of artists including Beck, Nine Inch Nails and M83. While the band is apparently making progress with the new disc, Williams stated that there's not guarantee it will be out before the end of the year:
"We're working on a pretty strange schedule, by our standards. There has never been so much time and care put into a Paramore album. Usually, we are rushing to make a very strict deadline which so far has just not been right for this record. We cannot assure you it will be out this year."
The last recorded output from Paramore came in July of last year, when the band offered what they called a "singles club", selling one new single a month for three months. Those tracks were "Hello Cold World", "Renegade" and "In The Mourning". The new Paramore record will be the band's first album since the departure of Josh and Zac Farro, who quit the band in December 2010.

What is Botox®?
Botox® is the purified protein botulinum toxin type A. When injected in miniscule quantities it causes the muscle at that site to relax, thus diminishing the dynamic lines or wrinkles caused when that muscle contracts.
Is Botox® treatment safe?
Botox® has been used since the 1970's to treat muscle disorders around the eyes. It was found that one of the results of this treatment was that the fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes caused by muscle contraction, such as crow's feet, were reduced where the Botox® was injected. Extensive research and clinical practice has now established the optimal way in which to use Botox® and it has rapidly become one of the most commonly used non-surgical treatments to reverse the signs of aging, particularly on the upper face. When injected in the correct quantities to the correct site, individuals treated with Botox® can still smile and frown, but the wrinkles that develop when they do this are considerably reduced. Normal facial expression is not affected and the result is a more relaxed and less tired appearance.
What sites can be treated with Botox®?
The sites that are most frequently treated are muscles of the brow that cause frowning, the muscles around the eyes that cause crow's feet and the muscles of the forehead that cause the horizontal forehead lines. Treatment of the upper face usually gives dramatic cosmetic results. Botox® can also be used on the lower face to reduce the downward turn of the corners of the mouth that occur with age, to reduce chin dimpling and to reduce wrinkling of the chest area with movement.
Does Botox® treatment hurt?
Very tiny needles are used, so discomfort is minimal. The sensation feels like a small pin prick. If necessary a numbing cream can be applied beforehand. There is no discomfort following the procedure. There are usually no visible signs left, although sometimes there is a small pin point mark which settles within a couple of days. Occasionally there is mild bruising which can be easily covered with make up and disappears within a few days.
Is there any special preparation beforehand?
There are no special preparations beforehand, but it usually advisable to avoid aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication for a few days before to reduce the chance of bruising.
Are there any individuals in whom Botox® should be avoided?
Although there are no reports of birth defects, Botox® should not be used in pregnancy and it is also our policy not to use it in nursing mothers. Patients with a history of neuromuscular disease (e.g. multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis) should avoid Botox®.
Do I have to take any special precautions afterwards?
It is recommended that you use the muscles which have been treated regularly for an hour after the Botox® injections. This helps the 'fix' the Botox® in the target muscles and is thought to enhance the result. You should avoid touching the treated areas for four to six hours afterwards and you should remain upright and avoid exercise for four to six hours after the injections. This is to avoid the Botox® moving to areas other than the target site. Apart from this, no special precautions are needed.
When does it start to have a noticeable effect?
The effects of Botox® start to be noticed within a day, but the full effect usually takes two weeks.
How long will it last?
The effect usually lasts between three to four months until new connections are made to stimulate the muscle again.
What is DYSPORT®
Dysport® is another purified protein botulinum toxin type
A that acts in the same way as Botox®. It is used in a similar manner to Botox®

Ha ha HA ha ha!
I have finally won over the stupid dragon eyelids. I finally got the sio-2 natural air dry clay to work as it should. And I am happy with the result. It is not as black as it should be, but a little paint will fix that. I have painted it and am going to let it dry overnight to see how well it takes the kind of paint I have. I am very excited. It dried har and tough. I dropped it on the lgass a few times and it did not break or crack. So now I have eyes and potentially the lids. I will see how things shake out in the morning, and if it took the paint fine I will make more in all the positions I need and let them dry, them paint them, then do some test sequences to see how well my idea works. Woot woot. :P
Still working on stuff. Having issues with these dragon eyes. Why am I so full of fail? It doesn't seem like thy shuld be that hard. Very frustrated with myself. One of these days I will get it. I just invested a little bit more in nail polish from the dollar store. The browns are way too pinkish. I wish I knew more about color to know what to add to make em what I want. I can't afford to continuously buy colors I can't use and hope they work. And really you don't know if they will work until you get them home and on the glass cabashon. The darkest brown works great on my nail. Rubbish on the glass. It needs something to make it look brown. Like a background. And the cabashon is domed so it reflects from the sides as well. I love using nail polish to paint this things. They have thier own little paint brushes that I do not have to clean every time I work on an eye. But what works on a flat surface with no reflective properties doesn't always work in one that does. Not all of them are bad. The blue I got reflects green flecks in it. On a flat surface it is just a little shiney. On they caboshon it looks like irridescent scales. It is gorgeous. I just need to learn the right technique to make it look right.
Ok, enough whining. I really needed to get that out though. Here is today's fail, with the blue that looks so pretty. The camera does not do it justice. I need to figure out how to make it so it works on the stop mo.
Stop Mo stuffs
I feel like I should be Catholic. Bless me father, for I have sinned. It has been 1 week since my last blog post.....
I guess at least this time it has only been a week. I am still working on getting the dragon eyes to work for my video for Anglicon. I ordered sealer for the backs of the cabashons, and while I was on the website I saw black self hardening clay that was fairly cheap. So I ordered that too. I will sculpt the dragon eyelids in several positions and use replacement animation for that part. Hopefully that will work. We shall see. It all depends on how well they come out. I am a crappy sculptor, and it is only getting worse as I lose strength in my hands. When it gets here I will play around with it and see what I can get.
I have also been making dragon eyes for friends. The practice has been good. I still don't have it down 100%, but starting to look better. I love making them, even if they turn out wonky. Kind of a Zen like activity. I play DnD online on Wednesday and Thursdays, and while everyone else is playing thier turns I have been painting on them. I have such a hard time just doing one thing at a time, and no patience with sitting and doing nothing. I never just watch TV....I watch TV while I am working on a project. If I don't have one, I find one to start. If I try my brain wanders and I end up not watching it at all. Same with the game. I will wander away while I wait, and forget to come back.
Well, when I have more I guess I will come back and report. I hate hurry up and wait. I am waiting for the sealer, waiting for the clay, waiting for everything.
Drive-by catch-up
I don't have much to post today, but I wanted to get something in at least. I have been busy with school and stop mo, and had a few days of sick time. I am currently working on eyelids that shut for the dragon eyes. So far I have failed with fabric tape and wire, molded TP and paper mache. This week I am playing homework catchup from being sick last week, so it has been a while. When I get those done successfully I will try a test sequence and post it. The eyes themselves, though, work marvelously for what I want them to do, which is exciting. If I can ever get through it, the final video will be cool. That is exciting.
I am also battling with a floofy butt cat who loves me...probably to death. I don't know why. He is not my cat. But Sunday morning at 2am, I was awakened by a paw hitting my face. The last 4 days I had been so sick I couldn't even get out of bed or sit up, and the previous afternoon was the first day I could. I opened my eyes, there was floofy butt cat, with a squealing, squirming very frightened mouse in his jaws. He held it about 2 inches from my face. I am ok with most insects and animals, but mice...I was out of bed and yelling so fast. He dropped the mouse on the floor and looked at me. I tried lecturing him about how I did NOT need a mouse, but he was not having any of it. When I went into the bathroom, he followed me and dropped the still alive, still screaming mouse at my feet. He was DETERMINED to give me that mouse, whether I wanted it or not. I appreciate the snetiment, but when you are still recovering from being sick, and have issues with mice that are alive, that is not the gift you want. He has stuck close by my side, purring loudly and randomly bringing me things. His favorites are shrews and mice. Though yesterday it was a snake. I have no idea what to do about it. I can't really get mad at him. I mean, I really do not believe he has malicious intent. It is just...annoying. And not how you want to be awakened at 2am on a Sunday.
Dragon Eyes, la la la....
I think I am finally getting the dragon eyes down. I have obsessively bought nail polish, looking for the right colors. They are not exactly how I want them, but they are looking better. I think I can finally just play around and see if I can get the sequence I want for the film for Anglicon. Here is the latest:
The calendar lies....
Wow. It can't already be a whole month later. Time flies when you are flying by the seat of your pants? I started classes and am still trying to find a job. Working on the stop mo for Anglicon still. I have changed tacks, but I still really want to get something pretty and cool for the film festival. I have until August at the latest. I have some ideas, though I am not sure how practical they will be for stop mo. I am currently researching and experimenting to see if I can do it. Here is a picture to give you a small idea of what I am working on:
I painted those. Still getting the knack. We shall see if I get it. I guess if I can get at least 6 that are consistant to each other they may work. I need to get a wider variety of paint color. I have more coming by Amazon today. After I get those I will do more experimenting. At the moment I suck and am frustrated with myself over it. But once I get a few more with a few more colors done I will experiment with the camera and see if I can make them do what I want them to do. Huh. This blog seems to be more fails than wins. Well, one day that will change. For now, I will just keep swimming, swimming swimming, just keep swimming......
Real life is eclipsing my creative life again. Last few weeks until I start classes, finally. A few job interviews. Working on writing and planning the stop mo for Anglicon. I need to figure out how to get shooting soon. I only have a few more months to submit it.
Today I did take some time to go out photogging, though. The whole album is On My Flickr Page. Here are a few of the better ones.
GameStorm and stuff
Today I am at the GameStorm, the gaming convention. It is so fun! I am enjoying myself. Even if I am having issues making myself join groups of people I don't know to play a game. Still pretty fun. I did play a few games. I watched quite a few games. I love watching games as much as I love playing. In the dealer's room, there is a gumball machine that they filled with dice. For 50 cents you get anywhere from 2 to 3 dice. It is so cool! I LOVE it!! I giggle every time i think about it. Cause it is so awesome. I think I need one.....
So fricken fun!! :) I am finding I have issues getting up enough courage to join in on games. I know that is what I am here for, and that if an orange cone is on the table they have room for someone, but it still feels like I am horning in where I am not explicitly invited. I have decided to try a different tack. I bought a cheap game. I am going to find a table somewhere and unpack it and let anyone who comes by and wants to join play. That may be easier...I hope? Sigh. I hate social anxiety. I am determined to get myself over it though.
Also....I definitely start classes soon. SNHU was a wash, but I was able to get through to WGU. With a little help from my friends and a lot of badgering Lane finally released my transcript, and I just got the email today that WGU got it. If they did not get it before April 8th I would have lost my chance at WGU and my chance at TAA funding. So yeay. I start my Bachelor's in Software Development. I am so excited. Now I just gotta get myself a job.
Well, success.....sort of....
So working with Pinnacle again, there are several things missing in the software. Like titles. I can no longer make title cards. But you know what? I have my micro managing of the timeline back, so I am OK with that. I can make those in GIMP and import them. Not a problem.
Today I am waiting on several things to come together. I am waiting for my community collgee to actually release my transcript so I can start school. The plan right now is to go to SNHU and get my Bachelor degree in Software Developement. Symantec is a certified TAA employer, which means as a laid off employee I am entitled to "retraining benefits". Which means schooling paid for....books and everything...and no loans needed. If they will take at least 24 credits from Lane I qualify. I have been accepted by admissions, I am just waiting for the transcript part. TAA will approve funding if the program can be completed in 130 educational weeks and come in under $35,000. Most schools are so expensive. One I was looking at requires 184 credits for the degree, and is $325/credit. That makes it around $59,000 for everything. Even with transfer credits, there is no way that would get approved. There are only 4 schools that I was able to figure out a way to make it work. I missed out on 3 of them waiting for Lane. But if SNHU will take at least 24 transfer credits, than that would put me under the 130 educational weeks and right around the $35,000. Waiting is SO FRICKEN HARD.
I also have been trying to get employed again. Being in Portland helps...a lot. I have gotten calls from employers I re-applied to after moving here. I have had 2 interviews with DreamHost. They were excited when I told them about going back to school and my plans for that. Waiting for this process to be over is hard. I just want them to employ me and get going already. I know, I gotta give em time to like me. But still....
Sitting on my ass waiting never suited me very well. So I spent the morning playing around with stop mo. I still can't get Dragonframe to work. This frustrates me. I spent $200 (normally it is $300 full price) and I can't even use it. Pinnacle I spent $60 and for the most part works fine. I have my micro managing back for the timeline. Fun. I just shot and edited a little thingy. I didn't bother with working with the lighting much. But I did practice editing sound effects, music and voice in. Here it tis, if you feel like gandering...
Software Woes...AGAIN...
It seems the struggle with stop motion animation software is a continual one. I finally got Pinnacle to work the way I need it to, then they did some upgrades and removed the functionality I needed. I need/want to be able to micro manage the timeline. Used to be able to that. Now I can't get it to let me.
Dragonframe still doesn't work. Got a hold of support, who told me to roll back a version. That works...sort of. I cannot get my camera to capture with it. I got the Canon T5i because it is specifically listed as a compatible camera in Dragonframe documentation. While I can take pictures with it in Pinnacle still, and I can use it with the Canon live capture software, when I try to use Dragonframe I get a message that it failed to capture. I cannot get a live view. And even though the camera is set to manual and I have it plugged into the outlet, I keep getting warnings from Dragonframe that neither are true. This is getting old. I can use the crappy webcam with Dragonframe. Not what I want to use. No control, and I can't place it whereever I want to. And it is CRAPPY. No quality at all. So something is happening during communication between the Canon and Dragonframe. There is a setting I am not finding in the documentation. There may be a patch that I can't get because they would rather I move up to the newest version, which doesn't work with my computer.
Grr argh sigh.
*EDIT: Ok, so I just let Pinnacle update AGAIN. Micro managing ability is BACK! Whew. No matter what I do I can't get Dragonframe to connect correctly with my camera. I found an additional document. Still didn't help. Stop Motion centric software MY ASS.

Our room was beautiful and overlooked the water. We were steps from a quiet beach where we could see sea turtles and watch the sunset. I would recommend this place to anyone and will absolutely come and stay again! the only think the room didn't have that I really wished it did was air conditioning. The ceiling fan didn't offer much relief one the very warm nights
It was nice to receive clean towels everyday. Plus a bonus of having your bed made daily. The kitchen was too small. They were remodeling room 215, next door to us while we were there. It was quite noisy with the construction workers.
Large well-appointed rooms...gorgeous beach. Concierge team was excellent, especially Shelly.
Amazing service
Amazing service! Perfect for our honeymoon with exceptional service, great location, beautiful ocean front grounds.
Stephen the valet set the tone from the moment he opened my wife's car door, escorted us to check-in, and down to our pool terrace room. His courtesy and hospitable attitude was echoed by the front desk, concierge, restaurant and housekeeping staff. Comfortable King bed room included a chaise lounge, desk, bench at foot of bed, huge LED TV and spa bath. In room coffee/tea and fridge for our own snacks/drinks. Clean clean clean. Excellence and luxury throughout. Amazing shore, pool areas, walking trails... Peaceful location above the fray of the more populated costal areas -- but only about a 15-minute ride to Lahaina with its lively stores, restaurants, and harbor activities, We know where we will be staying on Maui. Bravo! Nada!
The space, the unnoticeable but well prepared luxury and services. Cleanness, location,choice of programs, overall hospitality.
There is simply no better location in Maui Activity concierge was not really ahead of its game
Clean and uodated facilities and room. Excellent customer service and attention to detail. The grounds and gardens are beautiful. The on site seaside cliff is spectacular. Beach area was nice and secluded but small.
Food was excellent.
Friendliness of staff, club floor with lounge access, quality of food, comfort of room, ultr cleanliness of room, luxury of hotel

Merlin Entertainments' shares continued to tumble today following the roller-coaster crash at Alton Towers.
The Staffordshire theme park remained shut as the investigation continued into the incident which left four people seriously injured, including one victim who has reportedly lost a leg.
Merlin, which also owns Thorpe Park, Legoland and Madame Tussauds, watched its shares sink further in opening deals, down another 8.3p to 436p after falling 15.9p yesterday as news of the crash broke.
The benchmark index again struggled to make any ground, hindered by the lack of progress in Greece's financial stalemate, leaving the FTSE 100 down 0.41 points at 6927.86.
Investors stocked up on supermarket shares, with Morrisons still revelling in its first sales rise for 18 months. Its shares climbed another 4.2p to 176.7p putting FTSE 100 relegation fears behind it, larger rival Sainsbury's was up 3.9p to 249p.
Construction company Kier Group completed its rights issue, raising £312 million to fund the acquisition of Mouchel, which looks after UK roads.
The FTSE 250-listed group put up over 36 million shares at 858p, well below the current price of 1360p, down 1p. More than 8% of the shares on offer were left unsold even after the hefty discount, leaving bookrunners JPMorgan and Numis with a job to do to get rid of the remaining shares.
Housebuilding stocks were made to feel at home after a sector-wide upgrade from JPMorgan Cazenove.
Persimmon, up 7p to 1960p, Bovis Homes, up 13p to 1118.25p, and Barratt Developments, up 3.5p to 601p, were just a few to benefit from target price rises.
Stationer-turned-travel retailer WH Smith rose 50p to 1588p on the back of a short but upbeat trading statement.
It revealed a 1% jump in overall sales in the 13 weeks to 30 May, with the travel business, now the main focus, recording a 4% leap in like-for-like sales.
Shares in online musical instruments retailer Gear4music rocked out on their AIM debut, starting 5.5p higher at 144.5p. The IPO has raised around £9 million for Andrew Wass's group.
