Two more panther deaths under investigation, bringing total to three since Feb.
Wildlife officers are investigating the deaths of two more endangered Florida panthers, bringing the total to three since Feb. 23.
The first dead panther was found in Golden Gate Estates, and dead panthers also were found March 17 and March 25, according to a list, released Monday, of panther deaths in 2011.
The panther found March 25 was found on the side of State Road 29 south of Immokalee and could turn out to be a road kill but is still being treated as suspicious, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Capt. Jayson Horadam said Monday.
"We just want to make absolutely sure," Horadam said.
Neither the Conservation Commission nor the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have released any more details about any of the three deaths.
Last week, the two agencies and the Humane Society of the United States put up a $5,000 reward for information in the Feb. 23 case.
The state's Wildlife Alert Hotline got fewer than a half-dozen calls, and none of them produced any significant leads, Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said.
The two new panther deaths under investigation were on a list that accompanied a standard report about the Conservation Commission finding a panther Friday that was hit and killed by a vehicle on a rural stretch of U.S. 41 East.
The 12-year-old female panther was found about two miles west of Port of the Islands.
Biologists first came across the panther as a kitten in 1999, when they marked the panther in its den in Picayune Strand State Forest. The panther was eventually equipped with a tracking collar and was monitored until July 2006.
Panther death investigations have become more common in recent years.
In 2009, authorities investigated the death of a panther found between Oct. 7 and Oct. 19, but there has been no arrest in that case.
On Oct. 21, 2009, authorities searched a house at 2880 20th Avenue S.E. in Golden Gate Estates in connection with a wildlife violation investigation but would not say whether the investigation was panther-related.
A $15,000 reward was issued for information related to the shooting of a panther found in April 2009 in Hendry County.
Killing a panther carries a federal penalty of up to one year in prison, a $100,000 fine per individual or $200,000 fine per group of people.
Florida law makes it a third degree felony to kill or wound an endangered species. The maximum penalty is five years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
Scientists say there are between 100 and 160 adult panthers left in South Florida, where the wide-ranging cats are running out of room to roam.
So far this year, biologists have counted 11 panther deaths, including the three under investigation.
Five other panthers have been killed in collisions with vehicles, two have died in fights with other panthers and one panther death's cause is listed as unknown.

VIDEO: New Trailer for THE GIVER Has Arrived!
A new trailer for the highly anticipated film THE GIVER has arrived! The sci-fi drama will hit theaters on August 15, 2014 from The Weinstein Company. Get a first look below!
Directed by Phillip Noyce from a screenplay by Michael Mitnick, The Giver stars Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holmes, Odeya Rush, and Taylor Swift.
The haunting story of "The Giver" centers on Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. The film is based on Lois Lowry's beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994 Newbury Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

Dave Cockrum was a fan favorite beginning with his early work published in fanzines. His art for DC's Legion of Super Heroes stories in Superboy really caught the fans' attention, and his subsequent work on Marvel's new X-Men line up in Giant-Size X-Men #1 made him a superstar. Heritage is proud to present this prime piece of Cockrum art featuring the uncanny X-Men. The ink and white out art is on slightly trimmed comic bristol, with an image area of 9.75" x 15". Cockrum filled every inch of space save the UPC code box; the logo and all type elements have been removed for the page, and display every line of art. Glue stains from the pasted-on stats are present but in no way diminish the power of the artwork, and other than the staining, the page is in Excellent condition. It's Marvel action as you like it, delivered by one of the best in the business -- 'nuff said!
Cockrum, Dave:Dave Cockrum was born in Pendleton, Oregon, the son of an Air Force officer. After spending six years in the U.S. Navy, he moved to New York and accepted a job at Warren Publishing, his first professional work. After Warren, Cockrum became a background inker for Murphy Anderson at DC comics. Eventually, he got his first big break, landing the dream job of penciling the Legion of Superheroes. His groundbreaking work on The Legion's character designs and costume changes lasted for over a decade. His tenure at DC was short lived however, as a dispute led him to work at Marvel. At the House of Ideas, Cockrum co-created, along with Len Wein, The New X-Men, the franchise that went on to give Marvel enormous financial success in the following decades, introducing such characters such as Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Mystique. He later went on to create the comic book, The Futurians, which had a short run as a monthly series and then as a trade paperback. In his later years he drew covers for the Blackhawk relaunch, and worked for Valiant, Defiant, Broadway and Claypool Comics. Dave Cockrum suffered from diabetes and finally succumbed to his illness on November 26th, 2006 . Comic Art

Thanks Solo,
As it happens I have one more set of the stock bits of metal that we used to turn down into the shaft extender and the knob. So I could possibly make one more set out of them.
I'll try to twist my mates arm to make another set for you- might take a little while though. I've got a couple of other things I need to ask him to do soon so I'll try to lump it in with that.
You'd then have to get a little hole turned into the top of your stock adjusters to match the profile of the extender, and braze the little suckers in.
Alternatively, if anyone you know has metal lathe and brazing abilities, it would be quite easy to do yourself.
To do a batch of them, if there was ever enough interest, would require re-figuring it out from some basic available stock metal. Using the bits I scrounged up was easy because the shaft and knob were already very well fitted together with the grub screw- it cut out a lot of work but it also determined some design principles. If starting from scratch then the design may want to be a bit different.
An aluminium knob would make a lot of sense- for the weight conscious that is a pretty solid little lump of brass there.
The extension of the shaft itself I am pretty happy with- there are not a hell of a lot of good ways I can see that happening- once the upper O-ring was removed the metal narrowed very dramatically there which is why we didn't bore into that section as the worry was it would weaken it too much. We only bored about 2/3rds into the screw head. Threading an extension in would hit this problem and I don't think it could be done with any strength.
With the way I have done it, if by some act of brutality the extended top manages to brake off at the braze, then the adjuster might still be usable. With a bit of careful heat to melt the braze it is also reversible. My suspicion is though that the brazed join would not be the first point to brake (or at least bend).
I've considered all sorts of things for the knurling or shaping of the knobs. Unfortunately my friends ancient lathe doesn't do knurling- he has an attachment for it but it jus doesn't work. I keep picking up hacksaws and files, and then putting them down and carefully backing away.
Basic traditional fine tooth knurling would be nice, flat sides like the head of a bolt, an odd shape like an arrow head pointer, stuff like that (and it may involve hacksaws and files on a day I feel unusually precise). Once I figure out that I will probably get an engraver to mark or stamp the face of them with a R and C and + and - directional arrows- I think I can remember corrently that Right is Rebound and Right is Tight, but surely I'll confuse this down the track somehow unless it is marked there in front of me.
Anyway, if there was interest then getting my friend to do a batch run might be possible but honestly it would probably be worth getting someone like HPMguy to whip some up over there- I suspect his set-up is a little more modern than my friends, and this would be a very simple thing for him. Given the exchange rate and postage from Oz it would undoubtably also be cheaper- possibly even for any Australian WP50 owners who wanted in.
I'd be happy to take a lot of measurements in order to figure out a plan if someone wanted to do it, or alternatively see if my friend wanted to take it on. I suppose we'll see if there is any interest.

Hey Hans, how does your top clamp differ from ours for the damper? Just wondering if you've got a pic of the top clamp before install. thx
Joined: Jul 2008

Oddometer: 1,070
Hi Jenna,
there is no difference at all with the top clamp- mine is the same as yours,
there are a few things that are required to mount the damper to our bikes.
1. a pin tower thing that clamps onto the top of the steering tube on the frame (I believe Guy custom makes these?- they are a beefy stainless steel unit)
2. the pin itself that slides into the pin tower,
3. the stepped link-arm that goes onto the bottom of the damper and connects with the pin in the pin tower,
(all of this I got from Guy- plus I got the little arm puller tool required to swap arms on the damper- I'll PM you the cost of the parts I got from Guy)
this is all the lower pile of stuff under the damper
4. and then some kind of handlebar boss mount things which also mount the damper (I got lucky and got a barely used BRP submount that just happens to be a perfect fit with the Rdubb clamps)
the model that Rdubb designed the triples for is
SMO-9018P3 - 90mm spread; 18mm offset.
That is exactly what I got.
There may be other submount clamps that would work (from Scotts maybe?), I'm not sure- the spread and the offset are what to keep an eye on.
Guy can provide the correct model BRP submount- though I am not sure on price.
If you can afford to buy it all new (HPM)Guy should be able to provide absolutely everything you need for a simple plug and play installation. But with a new damper and new BRP submount, plus all the extra mounting bits, it won't exactly be cheap.
Alternatively you could go on the ebay hunt like I did. With some patience and pouncing, you should be able to find a cheaper used Scotts damper (for cheapest price expect around US$100-150 for a decent used one that is maybe missing a few mounting bits that you have to replace anyway). I watched for ages for used dampers- they often sell for a lot more than that price quoted above, but if you are patient a few bargains get offered for buy-it-now and others that are missing some of the mouting hardware go cheaper occasionally. I noticed no real trend in price difference between 'Road' and 'Off-Road' dampers (damping both ways or only away from center) aside from that sometimes there was more of one sort available (usually the sort you don't want), and sometimes prices in general were just higher or lower.
I wanted a road (damping both ways) version.
I missed out on a few cheap ones. I bought one from some guy and paypalled immediately, and he then sold it to someone else, abused me by email and then refunded my paypal. It was a bit of a saga of miscommunication and jerk-iness involving complaints to ebay and negative feedback and whatnot (my negative feedback for him stuck, and his to me got deleted)....
Finally, the last damper I bought didn't actually make it to Solo's place the first time and did a long slow tour of the USA before going back the seller and heading off again for another tour of the USA before finally arriving at Solo's
Getting the correct BRP submount you are going to have to get really lucky, even over on US ebay. I looked for ages on US ebay and never found one with the right spread and offset. I almost spilt my coffee when I found one on Oz ebay, and only 15 minutes drive away at that! And then I got it for a bargain by sniping the auction. Something had to balance out with all the bad luck I was having hunting for a damper.
Cheapest AND easiest way I reckon would be to hunt for a cheap damper unit, and then just buy everything else required (BRP submount included) from Guy. Best way, if you can stomach it, would be to just buy it all new.
Mine seems to work as it should, and unless something is leaking apparantly they are pretty sturdy, and I have looked up the details on servicing it myself and will soon be giving it an oil change (pretty simple actually and just uses 2.5W fork oil).
I'll let Guy know myself now I think about, but basically there may have been a little guesswork on his part about exactly what would work on this set up- I know he has set up Stagehand and maybe others but I am not sure if he had done a G/S before with these clamps... anyway, whatever the case Guy guessed right, so what he provided for me has worked perfectly.
I'll try to get a few more detailed photos of the damper mounting and whatnot tomorrow.

So the stepped link arm and tower clamp are specific to our bikes then?
Ive been enquiring with BRP directly about the submount clamp. I need bar clamps and a riser anyway, to fit the new triple. If my handlebar setup is damper ready then thats great, even if I dont get one straight away. But if Guy stocks these himself then Id rather support him.

If I have my information correct in my head....
then the pin tower is the only piece 'specific' to our bikes. I think Guy makes these himself. They are very pretty
The rest (BRP submount, pin, stepped link-arm) are just different off-the-shelf parts that together make things work...
I don't know what happened back in the day betewen Guy and Rdubb when he designed these clamps but luckily fitting a scotts damper at some point down the track was part of those plans.
It fits!
I am not sure what Guy has on hand and what he has to order in, but he had to order in some bits from Scotts for my set up. I'd suspect he has to order in the BRP sub mount as well, not that it matters much.
If I had to buy one new then Guy would surely be getting my money as well.
I just got ebay lucky, whoohoo.
Might be worth shooting Guy an email. Maybe he could itemise out the parts required and costs for a full Scotts set-up and that information could be shared amongst those so interested?

I've actually got things to update, but no pictures yet (need a new camera phone).
Indicator brackets are done and welded in that vertical position.
I'm getting things above the triple clamps sorted- considering what I am trying to muddle together this is requiring a bit of work,
ASV clutch (beautiful) with hot start lever hooked up to choke- for some reason the action of the asv makes this clutch feel feather lite and butter smooth- I'd previously tried a KTM domino clutch but really didn't like it.
then I've got an old magura 312 throttle- needs a bit of cleaning up and repainting but seems nice. I'd love to find a replacement throttle tube for it (preferably a billet one so that I can try a cruise control mod on it)
and of course the ktm stock brembo master cylinder/lever,
then I am sorting my switchgear and mirrors,
I've got /5 switchgear (which are just elegant and simple to me)- almost finished mounting them, and the mirrors will be mounted off the back of the switchgear mounts... complicated to explain, easy to show.
Then a simple black honda style push-button kill switch.
it is all coming together very well- although I haven't actually got to any electrical work yet, I am just trying to get things fitting first.
After all this is done I will be making some handguard/barbuster type things.
I am also going to put some mikuni 34mm roudslides on- I have the throttle and the choke hooked up now to the Bings and (aside from old sticky cables that need replacing) it seems to be working OK- but I will need to re-do this for the mikunis when I get them.
more stuff soon and pictures later sometime when the technology allows.
What I did bump this thread for was to post a link I just stumbled over-
it is one of my tanks, the Sauer 45 liter FOR SALE in Germany,
not cheap at all, but beautiful. I wanted to see what this tank looked like in black, and now I have. I may very well copy it.
I had actually just emailed Mr Sauer himself, complimenting him on his work and trying to find a bit more info about this tank and if he still makes them- then stumbled across that tank for sale.
I must say, given the price this tank is asking, and the price quoted that Sauer makes them for new, I think I got a screaming bargain buying mine even if it was dented. But, it is a beautifully made thing so I can see why it costs big dollars.
here is the link. I don't imagine these come up for sale too often.
and here are the photos I joined up for and pinched
just found another one on that forum, same price

If you remember to Hans , a few photos of your bark busters when you do them would be appreciated .I have some on Tilly but the angle is all wrong and they don't really do much rain stopping at all.
That tank is HUGE, I thought my 24 litre GS 100 was big but that one must be half as big again ! OK, actually reading the ad it's 45 litres , more than half as big again !

Hi Peter,
yeah sure I'll take plenty of photos of the barkbusters when I make them- I'm sorta using the HDB handgaurds as inspiration right now
Of course I'll make them a bit different and mount them differently too- rather than going off the top clamp like HDB's kinda unique system, here are the more standard mounts I have that I will use.
then some sort of removable fairing/shield like the HDB's use.
about the tank,
yeah, it is pretty huge. And yeah that listing is for €999 plus postage, same price as the other white one I linked to at the bottom of that last post of mine. From my translation of that first link apparently they are still available on a custom-order basis from Martin Sauer for €1500.
here is my one I bought, a bit dented, but also a little bit cheaper
after digging through that german forum for a while I have found a few more photos of these tanks,
considering how long it has taken me to scrounge up all these images, I might as well post them up all in the same place for others,
so, for the search engines, here are more photos of Martin Sauer 45 and 50 Liter alu/aluminum/aluminium tanks for BMW GS and G/S bikes.
here is a white 45L one
(for sale here)
here is some comparisons between the 'big' GS tank and a Sauer 50 Liter monster tanker
and here is another paint scheme
looks good from this angle
not sure if that last one is a 45L. It kinda looks like a bit like this Sauer 42L one.
I suppose being handmade, and with so many sizes around, there might be a lot of different variations in shape between different tanks.
P.S. If anyone reads this and has more nice images of these tanks then please pass them on to me. I'm kinda collecting them now.

Man I have always though of chroming a regular late model R90S style tank. It would make my Hodaka tank stickers look like they were on a Super Rat! I have always thought the shapes were kinda close to each other.

Great pics Hans ! All those tanks look good but um.... I really like that standard GS 100 and it inspires me to actually get around to getting my GS 100 single seat upholstered .
BTW , do you know the best place to buy the transfer on the standard GS 100 tank ? I'm working toward getting mine painted , it's a real mess .

a bit of an update,
lots of fiddly fitting stuff-
I almost have all the controls on the handlebars sorted.
it has been challenging trying to mount and fit it all together.
Clutch is an ASV and is so lovely and smooth and light (like many things, the colour was 'chosen' because the clutch was cheap- damaged display stock)
It has a hotstart lever which is hooked up to the choke.
I am very happy with it.
then we come to the switchgear and mirror and mounts...
I've gone with /5 switchgear just because I like using them (and am used to them now from the 90/6) and because they are simple and to me rather elegant. I also never really came across anything else that tickled my fancy. Mounting them was a challenge though.
I came up against some of that bloody german efficiency! Those cast metal housings that the switches sit in have two angles of concern, they point in and down (if that makes sense)- however, rather than cast a left and right housing whose flat backs mount on the same plane and both point in and down to the same degree, what those sneaky Germans did was use the same switchgear housing and then flip them and mount them on completely different planes!
Take a look at a set of /5 switchgear next time you have the chance and you'll see what I mean.
Because my mirrors mount off the back of the switchgear clamps, what that meant was a lot of trouble getting my switchgear to line up the way it should.
Again, I am pretty happy with the results.
On the back of the mounts is a mount for a 10mm mirror stem. Currently I have a 10-8mm adapter in there to mount up my stock G/S mirrors, but this is all too fiddly and I have decided today to go with a set of Neduro's double take mirrors (which will screw straight into my 10mm threaded mirror bracket).
here is some switchgear and mirror mount action
then we get to the tricky side.
I've used the stock KTM brembo master cylinder that is matched to the two-pot brembo caliper. Then another switchgear and mirror mount and an old magura 312 throttle. This all just manages to fit together sufficiently. There is also a simple (Honda style I think?) kill switch/button to the left of the switchgear.
I really should have taken the washer off the top of the mirror adapter here- it was just there to get the height right, but is in the way of viewing.. I've had to cut a lot of the beef of the mirror mount out here to get it to fit over the master cylinder reservoir.
also, the little black adjuster for the brake lever really is that close to the throttle housing- everything barely fits, but thankfully it fits.
all up I am pretty happy with it. I can get the levers into perfect positions for me, and the switchgear position also works well with my XL hand size (small handed people might find it a stretch to reach the switches with their thumbs)- being a little further in the switchgear is nicely out of troubles way. There is a bit of butchered metal surfaces on the switchgear/mirror mounts from all the filing and stuff I've had to do and this will get smoothed and probably painted black- same with the old 312 throttle.
The /5 switchgear is simple and now inherently natural to me to use.
Nothing is wired up yet, I had to see if I could fit it first. I hope there are no huge problems wiring it up
The throttle and clutch and choke cables are fitted and working- however the cables to the carbs are going to require re-doing when I put the Mikuni VM34's on (which are coming to me ready for a choke cable).
here is the general feel of the bars. As said, I'm not happy with the stock mirrors. They will be too hard to get into the perfect position/angle, and I am too worried about them in a fall if they tear off my switchgear mounts. Better to go with Neduro's double take mirrors I think.
other things,
Neils excellent hardhead guards to replace the crash bars (only one side test fitted until I make myself a new sidestand)
They fit pretty good with the penut covers as well as the square ones.
After all that subframe and luggage frame welding, adding metal after metal, it is nice for a change to loose some weight.
I've got an extra washer on here which packs it out a bit too far. I'm going to shop around for a little bolt- maybe an allen key one with a coutersunk head? to reduce the amount the bolt sticks out.
So much more to do yet, and things move slowly.
Wiring up the switchgear will have to be next so I can give this front end a test (FINALLY).

Wow. You sure you don't want to build a set of crash bars for that tank??
That hot start lever is only for show isn't it?

My bf has 2 kids, 8 & 10 and I have a 14 yr old. We have been together for a few yrs and lived together for most of it. His kids were only there on wkends, but now are moving in full time. They fight non stop and drive me batty. The wkends were hard to make it through, but there is no way I can handle full time.
I love him, but I have to find my own space for my dd and myself.
I am just feeling sad about the whole thing.
I know what you are going through! I can't stand fighting, and my step kids fight like cats and dogs! They also backstab, tattle, compete with each other for attention, etc. I have spent years lecturing my birth kids about how important it is to build each other up so we can all enjoy a strong, peaceful family. They fight and argue and get on each others' nerves, but they don't treat each other like dirt! It is so hard to know how to respond to this stuff. When my kids were little, I learned a lot from Siblings Without Rivalry, I'm thinking about reading it again. What do you do to deal with their fighting?
Step mom to Malakie, Cameron , and Aurelia
Is it possible that the fighting might diminish once they are settled into the new place and have some stability? You didn't say too much about the situation, but my guess is that something must have prompted the change in parenting time. Maybe whatever it was had been causing a lot of stress on the kids, the symptom of which = fighting?
Also, it is possible that your BF, now being the primary parent, would be in a better position to actually do something about the fighting. It is much easier to establish rules/routine when you have more than two days at a time.
Obviously, you have to do what is best for you and your DD. I just wanted to throw it out there that change is a possibility.
The upheaval - living like a family, then dividing - stinks, for your daughter. But I have to applaud you, for putting all of the kids ahead of the romance! IOW, you're not trying to influence him not to take his kids (because they're banshees who will drive you away); nor are you forcing your daughter to stay in a situation you find inappropriate, because you hate to lose your boyfriend. Sounds like you're doing the right - and mature - thing. While I'm sure it's very hard for you, right now, I hope that over time, this difficult choice you made - and followed through on - will be a touchstone, to remind you that you're a good mom who will take care of her daughter's needs, even when it's not easy.

What is "mindfulness?"
"Mindfulness is: paying attention, on purpose, in a particular way, in the present moment, with non-judging awareness."
Jon Kabat-Zinn
"Mindfulness is being aware of what we're doing while we're doing it."
"The root [of mindfulness] is experiencing the itch as well as the urge to scratch, and then not acting it out."
Pema Chödrön
"In mindfulness we learn to awaken from unconscious absorption in thoughts and feelings."
Christopher Germer
The heart of mindfulness is the cultivation of attention to "things as they are," with an attitude of non-judging awareness.
"Non-judging awareness" means not being caught up in judging, not believing everything we think. Mindfulness training leads to an ability to witness and get curious about difficulties, rather than withdrawing from, ignoring, or struggling with them.
Mindfulness involves training the mind to know what it's paying attention to – starting with observing our breathing and body sensations. Body sensations are called the "neutral ground of our attention." Thinking about what we're thinking, or thinking about what we're feeling (emotionally) can quickly lead to being lost in more thinking and feeling. But if we say to ourselves "How is the back of my right calf feeling right now?" there is an anchoring effect on thinking and feeling – slowing it down, allowing the mind to rest. Our mind can rest on a free-wheel for a while, allowing a re-routing of negative thinking patterns. After a break, thinking often becomes more positive, and can be surprisingly original. New possibilities for responding arise, increasing mental and emotional flexibility and resilience.
What is "Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction?"
Thirty years of research on the physical and mental health effects of a program called "Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction," or MBSR, demonstrates that mindfulness practices, when done consistently, reduce suffering, improve resilience and stress tolerance, physical and mental health, kindness and compassion, happiness and peace of mind.
The practices taught in MBSR programs derive from teachings that are over 2500 years old. They were secularized, modernized and brought into the health care mainstream by the pioneering scientist Jon Kabat-Zinn, and his colleagues at the University of Massachusetts, beginning in the late 1970s. Mindfulness practices include: awareness of breathing, body scanning, yoga, qigong, and sitting and walking meditation; attitudinal practices, including non-judging awareness and don't-know mind; and affective practices, including gratitude, lovingkindness, and compassion practices.
MBSR programs are generally taught in eight 2.5-hour sessions and an all-day retreat. They are now offered in many hundreds of clinics and hospitals in the US and around the world. Increasingly, MBSR is taught in elementary, middle, and high schools, graduate and professional training schools, including medical schools and law schools, corporations – like Google, Apple, law firms, insurance companies, and nonprofit organizations. When combined with psychotherapy, MBSR training proves to be very grounding for people with psychological difficulties of all kinds. It is a wonderful adjunct to therapy for people wanting to participate actively in freeing themselves from suffering. *
Mindfulness for Psychological Health
MBSR has provided the foundation for an ever-growing field of therapies that apply mindfulness practices and concepts to established methods of psychotherapy. These new therapeutic applications of mindfulness are making emotional regulation and self-management possible for the first time for people with the most challenging psychological conditions.
Some of the most prominent of these applications are: Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for Depression (MBCT), Mindfulness-based Relapse Prevention for Substance Use (MBRP), Mindfulness-based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Extensive ongoing research demonstrates their remarkable benefits.
How Might I Start to Practice Mindfulness?
The world-renowned Vietnamese mindfulness teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, says that the practice of stopping is the first practice of mindfulness. It can help us to interrupt and break unconscious habits that keep us stuck in reactivity, and cause suffering to others and ourselves. Learning how to pay attention to what we are doing while we are doing it – noticing what we are experiencing in our bodies, thoughts, and emotions – requires the practice of inner as well as outer stopping.
Imagine you're getting ready to ride a horse. Your foot is in one stirrup, one hand is on the horn of the saddle – but before you can take your seat or pick up the reins, the horse takes off at a wild gallop! You're holding on for dear life, and then hear someone shouting to you from the side of the road: "Where are you going?!" You yell: "I don't know – ask the horse!"
This galloping horse represents what we call habit energy – the reactive thinking/feeling patterns that are part of our genetic inheritance, and have been established and taken root throughout our lives. Unconscious tightening and other body sensations fuel habit energy. When present, whenever we're reacting, it can drive us like that galloping horse, and we aren't in control of ourselves.
By stopping, we can regain our seat and pick up our (inner) reins. Breathing with conscious awareness, briefly focusing attention on non-thinking – by scanning body sensations and stretching mindfully – it is possible to interrupt the habit energy, calm and soothe distress, and observe thoughts and emotions with greater objectivity. Mindfulness teaches us to respond instead of react to stress in our lives.
Conscious Breathing
One simple mindful stoppingpractice that can be done anywhere, anytime, is called conscious breathing.
Try this: notice where you feel physical sensations as you breathe in and out. It is often easiest to feel this on the inside of the nostrils – but it's important to find out where you feel it, if you can. Now, say to yourself: "breathing in, I know I'm breathing in" as you breathe in, feeling the in-breath; and "breathing out, I know I'm breathing out" as you breathe out, feeling the out-breath. Do this three to five times. Now, check: Are you focused here, in the present moment, or in the past, or the future? What are you feeling in your body? What thoughts can you identify? What emotions or moods can you name?
* Note: MBSR instructors are required to have a deeply-established and daily practice of mindfulness meditation, to have attended at least two long silent retreats, and to incorporate mindfulness in their lives. Therapists wanting to learn about mindfulness to enhance their work must understand that mindfulness is not something that can be learned in a weekend and then applied in therapy.

This kind of a thing happens to me all the time…I am doing one thing but find myself constantly thinkig about something else.This seriously affects the kind of attention I am able to pay to the task at hand and thereby the quality of the work done.This is a real problem to me but I do not know what to do to get rid of it.
I also have a question that I would like to ask about-Although mindfulness sounds like a great thing does it not prevent or atleast limit the multi-tasking abilities of a person?
Thanks a lot in advance.
I have been meditation for more than 16 years and very seldom feel stress anymore. If I feel stress I usually just close my eyes and relax for 5 minutes. Occasionnaly I go into a state of stopping the world. I think mindfulness is another great tool and the more tools we have the more people will find it easy to find one that suits their way of living.
Hi all,
Great article! I agree on most of this. mindfulness is a way of life.
Dear DPK,
Practicing "stopping" and "conscious breathing" (see instructions in the article) are two beginning ways to to manage the tendency to be doing one thing and thinking about something else. If you decide to try it, I'd love to hear what happens…
Secondly, practicing mindfulness does tend to change habits of multi-tasking, but not necessarily in a negatively limiting way. Research has shown that when we multi-task, we're actually doing one thing at a time, just in rapidly switching sequences. This can increase the tendency to be distracted.
There's a famous story about a well-loved Korean Zen Master Seung Sanh (he was Jon Kabat-Zinn's teacher for some time in Boston): One of his students said to him: "My teacher, you have said to do one thing at a time: When eating breakfast, just eat breakfast. When reading the newspaper, just read the newspaper. But I saw you eating breakfast and reading the newspaper!" Seung Sahn said, "That is correct: when eating breakfast, just eat breakfast. When reading the newspaper, just read the newspaper. And – when eating breakfast and reading the newspaper, just eat breakfast and read the newspaper!" :)
Hope you don't mind this very different take on mindfulness and MBSR
In its essence, mindfulness changes how we 'want', but in spite of the explosion of research on the neuroscience of mindfulness, a neurological definition of wanting has never been incorporated in any of this research literature. A major reason may be the predominant use of brain imaging (fmri) to observe the minds of mindfulness practitioners. Since the fmri only measures brain activity through the proxy of changes in blood flow within the brain, it cannot measure the biochemical correlates to wanting that are independent of neural blood flow. Indeed, because 'wanting' processes in the brain involve small arrays of cells within the midbrain, the fmri is as useful in observing wanting as the Mount Palomar telescope is in observing sub-atomic particles. In other words, it's the wrong tool for the problem at hand.
Below is a link to the first explanation of mindfulness that is derived from the neuroscience of wanting. Based on the work of and endorsed by the behavioral neuroscientist Kent Berridge of the University of Michigan, it provides a very short, simple and new explanation of mindfulness that justifies it in a most unusual way, as well as providing a simple explanation why mindfulness is so effective as an antidote to tension or 'stress'.
I hope you find it of interest.

Great potential
It is sad but this is the best stock app I have found. It has a lot of features that I like about it including sigfig (but I can't sync my Chase investments), I like the amount of news articles is uploaded about the companies (could be more), and I like the layout. Big big big problem I have is I can't track new ticker symbols like scty, aal, xone and baba. Lots of these been around for awhile now. It also lacks financial summary information on the companies and I need to go to yahoo finance to get it.
I used this portfolio successfully for years, NO problems! When Sig Fig (whoever they are) took over, it has been one problem after another. That is, when the portfolios load, often they will not! Today I edited for a split, and the figures I'm left with are ridiculous! The data is inaccurate as often as it's not. AOL should go back to it's original profile, which was basically the same information, but was accurate. Since Sig Fig took it on, it's almost worthless! if I could give it no stars I would!

When I was little, I was treated for an underbite using an expander and headgear. Now I am 14 and I have braces and my underbite is basically corrected. However, my chin sticks out a lot because of it and is shifted to the right, as seen in the pictures and looks different from both sides. If I had underbite surgery, would I have to have my teeth adjusted again with braces? And also, would either underbite surgery or chin reduction correct the asymmetry? Or is it better to leave it alone?

The University of Prince Edward Island has officially named a new terrace located adjacent to Don and Marion McDougall Hall, the Colleen Keefe Malone Terrace, in memory of UPEI alumna, the late Colleen Keefe Malone. The naming took place on Monday, April 21 at an event where a memorial and stonework were also unveiled.
Colleen Keefe Malone was the first female to graduate with a Bachelor of Business from UPEI in 1971. She then went on to a noteworthy career in human resources, serving as a Director for the PEI Civil Service Commission for many years. She and her eight siblings all attended UPEI, each becoming impactful community leaders in their professions. In 2011, the Keefe and Malone families were deeply saddened to lose Colleen to illness at the age of 61. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, sister-in-law, and friend.
The University is proud to officially name the terrace in honour of Colleen Keefe Malone, who is especially remembered by her husband Leonard and their two children, Leslie and Jason.
"Colleen provided inspiration to family, friends, and colleagues," says Dr. Greg Keefe, a brother and Professor of Veterinary Medicine at the University. "In addition to her exceptional professional contribution to human resource management, she was a constant support to her immediate and extended family. She was our core: encouraging each of us, celebrating our successes, and sustaining us through challenges."
In her memory, the Keefe family with Colleen's husband Leonard Malone made a leadership gift commitment in the amount of $104,000 to UPEI. This leadership gift supports the Colleen Keefe Malone Memorial Scholarship. The annual award recognizes a business student who is in good academic standing and who intends to pursue a career in human resource management.
"On behalf of UPEI, I sincerely thank the Keefe and Malone families for memorializing Colleen through the Colleen Keefe Malone Memorial Scholarship," said UPEI President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. "This, along with naming of the terrace, is a very fitting tribute to a great woman who impacted the lives of so many. Her legacy will now benefit the lives of UPEI students into the future."

From the Film Maker
I was always interested in the parent-child relationship, of all kinds. The simplicity of this painting drew my attention immediately to this goat-kid interaction. I perceived the painting as a subtle choreography, the goat looking away from his kid, unaware of what may have happened behind him. At the same time the kid seems to wait discreetly for some attention, some direction. This occurs in a silent, lonely context. The high contrast that exists between the animals' psychology in the painting is what drove me to write this script, based on the juxtaposition between what the Girl experiences in her everyday life and what she actually describes in her letter addressed to her mother. It is time for both, the Girl and the young goat, to sail away and become adults, whatever this means.
Zaklin Lentzou
A piece inspired by Adriaen van de Velde, A Goat and a Kid, 1655-72

Pro Wrestling News and Notes From the Net
Pro Wrestling op ed.
Post Comment|0 Liked It
Well the big switch has happened and the WWE has pulled out all the stops to bring Smack Down to a new level to go with its new network. Thursday night , the my network presented an hour long edited version of Wrestle Mania 24 with a few new angles cut in for effect. The following night was the new "Smack Down" on My TV and it featured a barrage of champion versus champion matches that the loyal WWE fans don't normally see on TV. Its my guess that for the foreseeable future , you'll see a lot more of these cross show matches if the creative team can justify them. My idea would be to have a TV champ that would defend a belt between all three shows . They could be required to defend the belt every 2 weeks but only on one show at a time. Then you keep shifting shows to make sure the viewer would follow along.
This past Monday's Raw had a great deal more energy than the past few weeks . From the opening segment when Batista put down Santino Marella quick only to have JBL put him down quicker. To the close of the show with HBK struggling to get to his feet after he splashed his former protégé ,Lance Cade , from the top of a twenty foot ladder. Better matches and a faster pace for the bulk of the show is a much improved from the past month. I hope that part of the reason is that their not scripting everything and just letting the talent work some of it out on their own. Jericho and HBK is proof of how well that can work. Jamie Noble is involved in a good program with William Regal and Layla. Noble is a hidden talent that I think gets held back only because of his size. This is a mistake , and I hope they give him more TV time. I was thinking that maybe on Raw he wins the lottery or discovers that somehow he and Regal are related and then that would make Noble royalty also.
I keep hearing on the net about this wrestler that they just signed from Japan . With the last name of Yamamoto , if and when this guy is ready to come up from FCW, should have Lawler help him get over. For the uninformed fan, back in the day in Memphis, the King had an ally slash enemy for a long time by the name of Tojo Yamamoto who played a big part in his early career . I was thinking that one night Lawler gets into something with the second generation stable and this guy comes out and saves him.
While we are on the creative subject, it seems that Vince wants his talent on all shows to be better actors. Word is he has charged the newest member of the creative team, Freddie Prinze Jr, for this task. Now I know that I have brought this up before, but if they are serious about improving the woman's division, why not get Mrs. Prinzes in the mix . Sarah Michele Geller is a talented actress who has done her share of action roles and she could be a big help to a stale part of the Whole WWE brand. At the very least she could help them reintroduce Gail Kim to the WWE . You could have her in the audience on Smack Down and some of the Diva's are giving her grief and challenge her to get a partner and have a tag match. Imagine the reaction if she came down to the ring with Gail Kim.
The Undertaker's health is starting to become a serious issue. When the headline on the internet is "Early onset arthritis in his knee" that might be a problem . Not a real good sign going in to a PPV against the Big Show. There's even been some blurbs about a dislocated finger. The only thing that has come out is " He works bang up and has for years, that's why he's so respected.
Turning the page to the completion . Two weeks ago, TNA handed out paper work to its talent roster on its new drug testing policy . It promises thirty day suspensions for first time offenders and harsher penalties for repeat offenders. I'm sure that the locker room sis on pins and needles waiting for the wrestling boot to drop. In other TNA news. Jeff Jarrett has taken an interesting way on the creative side to help push his return. Curt Angle gave an interview to the UK Sun in which he bad mouthed TNA management about how things where run saying there where to many gimmick matches and not enough wrestling matches. Jarrett has been using this as the whole the young guys don't respect the old guys in the locker room storyline. It has led to some of the best promo's that Sting has done in a long time. Its also help put the Hardcore Icon, Mick Foley in the middle of him an Angle. Finally ,TNA creative has dropped Frank Trigg temporarily from the show. They have said that its because they don't have anything for him to do, but I would guess that it more to do with the MMA style match against AJ Styles at the last PPV bombing in Toronto. What ever genius thinks that you can merge the worlds of Pro Wrestling and MMA needs to go back to the drawing board and try again.
And know for my predictions for this Sunday. Rey versus Kane I have to pick Rey because taking Rey's mask off in WCW didn't work and it wont work here either. The woman's belt is up for grabs when Candice Michelle goes after the Glamazon Beth Phoenix. Candice has looked real Rusty since her in ring return and she still can't match Phoenix's power and skill so Beth retains the title . The next one worries me. The Undertaker up against The Big Show and with all the chatter about the Undertaker's injuries this one cant be that good. I wonder if they might have Show win just to put Taker back on the shelf and get him right. Next up is a important one for Raw. Batista Versus JBL. Important because the winner of this one will have a Championship match at the next PPV. I have to say this will be Batista because of Bradshaw's health and because Batista has been grumbling in the back. For the ECW belt Matt Hardy retains probably by a DQ because Tony Atlas is not very slick about his interference lately . Make it a double header for the Hardy Boys when Jeff pins HHH and finally gets his day in the sun. just one thing Jeff, sober up before you get on a plane. Finally the Main event ladder match with world champion Chris Jericho takes on HBK Shawn Michaels . What I think is going to happen is that HBK wins and then turns around and loses to Batista on Raw the next night.
Well that's it for know, sorry it took so long to get this out. I hope to have something up by Tuesday or Wednesday depending on my schedule. Till then see ya.

Customer Reviews of Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 750GB USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black
Great product5/30/2012
The external hard drive is very compact and easy to carry. I ordered this product primarily for the portability and the 3.0 usb. The data transfer speeds are amazing compared to the 2.0 usb hard drive I have. I plugged in this product into three different computers (all of them Windows 7). Two of them recognized the drive without any issue. One computer installed the driver but did not map a drive to this device. I could not figure out why.
Great purchase4/27/2012
The thing I love about the Toshiba Canvios is that they just work. No hassle, no fuss, just tons of storage. I have the Toshiba Canvio 750GB USB 2.0 and recently bought the USB 3.0 version. I was surprised that the USB 3.0 version is even smaller, by a few mm, than the USB 2.0 version. The USB 2.0 version is used to back up my Macbook (I use Time Machine and SuperDuper) and the USB 3.0 version is for backing up critical files on my PC. Unlike some other reviewers, I have had no problems at all with the USB 3.0 connector. It fits snugly and doesn't seem in any danger of coming loose. Anyone needing tons of backup in a small package should consider one of the Toshiba Canvio drives.
