A quick brine keeps the pork moist and juicy.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine 8 cups cold water and 1/2 cup salt in a 13 x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish, stirring until salt dissolves. Add pork to brine; let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
Step 2
Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
Step 3
Drain pork; pat dry. Brush pork with oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place pork on grill rack; grill 15 minutes or until a thermometer registers 155° (slightly pink), turning pork occasionally. Remove pork from grill; let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Step 4
Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, plums, and next 7 ingredients (through chile); toss gently to combine. Serve relish with pork. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.

Note that I don't start the system from u-boot; the board uses OFW, so some register initialization may be wrong.Octeon only supports the Octeon u-boot 'bootoctlinux' protocol.That is a little problem, obviously, since I am not in a position to modify OFW on the board. I modified setup.c instead to get and initialize required parameters as passed from OFW.You have to make sure that the octeon_bootinfo structure is filled in properly, and all the CPUs in the core_mask enter the kernel.All CPUs do enter the kernel. Problem is that they get stuck in an endless interrupt loop as soon as interrupts are enabled for a core for the first time (or soon thereafter). I know (or at least I am quite sure) that I am doing something wrong during initialization, I just hoped someone might have an idea what it might be.
If you could run it under the simulator, you could easily debug it. Otherwise it is not so easy. David Daney

Dallas in Texas is better known as a key location for collectible car auctions than it is for anything related to arts and culture. But that might be about to change as the city's burgeoning art scene continues to grow and develop, further cementing and establishing Dallas as one of the most vibrant and potentially influential centres for art in the entire United States.
If the rapid rise of the Dallas Art Fair is anything to go by, Dallas is a city to watch. Launched in 2009 in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis – what must have seemed like an almost insurmountable obstacle – Dallas Art Fair not only managed to fly in the face of the challenges it faced, its inaugural edition was hailed a major success.
Dallas Art Fair returns for its 9th edition in 2017 from April 6-9 at the Fashion Industry Gallery (F.I.G.) with a lineup of more than 90 galleries from 16 countries.

To Dig or Not To Dig: What is Archived Data?
Deciding on a dissertation or thesis topic can be a difficult task in and of itself. Deciding on a dissertation or thesis topic and collecting data based on your topic can at times seem impossible. It may be tempting to find an archival data set that might be tailored to fit your research study. There are a few advantages to using archived data. For example, on the surface, archival data sets save you resources and time because you don't have to collect your own data. However, though archival data sets may appear to be time-savers, there are many other issues that you should take into account before you choose to use an archival data set.Often, archived data sets were created to answer a specific set of research questions. Though this seems intuitive, what does not seem so intuitive is the impact that this will have on your study. Because the goal of your dissertation or thesis is to prove to your committee that you have been able to contribute new knowledge to your field of study, it is likely that you are not asking research questions that have already been answered in the literature. It is likely that you will struggle trying to get a data set that was designed to answer specific questions to fit with your specific research questions.
Another common issue with archived data is the sheer amount of data. Large archival data sets often contain data collected over many years. On the surface, it might sound like a benefit to have such a large amount of data; however, this does become problematic when the codebook is difficult to follow and the data collected have changed from year to year. Additionally, archival data can have misleading sample sizes. When large questionnaires are given, participants are only asked certain questions based on their previous answers. If you want to run analyses on a particular item from the questionnaire, chances are that not everyone who took the survey has answered that item. This becomes particularly problematic when you want to investigate relationships among multiple items that may not have been answered by all participants in the study.
Though archival data may seem like an easier way to collect dissertation data, there are additional factors that might actually cause you more work in the long run. If you do choose to use archived data for your dissertation or thesis, be mindful of the potential difficulties you might face.

text: Another home sold in Pleasanton! If's it's not the best present, it's pretty darn close to the top of the list. Congratulations to our sellers! They received multiple offers on their home and sold it for over asking price. We were able to negotiate free rent for them through February so they can stay in this home until their new home in San Ramon has completed construction. A very Merry Christmas indeed!

'Engaging [students] in a conversation about the importance of live music,' is the campaign of this year's Coffee House Sessions and one of the acts of this year's 'tour' was The Wandering Hearts, who rounded off their 20 pop-up gigs in the North East of England at Newcastle and Northumbria University, with Thank Folk For That tagging along.
To many, The Wandering Hearts seem to have come from nowhere but it has been two years of hard work after chance meetings of Tim and Tara at a gig and AJ and Chess through mutual friends, and all through the love of music – different bands, theatre and even teaching. Something instantly gelled between this four-piece and within 30 minutes of uploading a demo from their second rehearsal, a label discovered them, and a record deal with Decca soon followed. With strong comparisons to First Aid Kit and The Civil Wars it led to them opening at this year's British Summertime At Hyde Park where Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty headlined, who are also major influences.
Spending the afternoon with The Wandering Hearts you instantly feel welcome and feel the bond between them. A very down-to-earth quartet who are naturally engaging and more so when they bring the harmonies together. It sounds so effortless. It is no wonder the students are engaging with these pop-up gigs, with their headphones off and simply listening. It is also no wonder they are receiving high praise from the industry and sold out their recent headline show at London's Borderline off the back of a successful support slot with country music great Marty Stuart. They are also about to support Amy MacDonald on her two sold out Glasgow gigs, and if that wasn't enough, as they were in the thick of the Coffee House Sessions they had to dash back to London from Liverpool, to pick up their award for the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award from the Americana Music Association UK.
Hard work has definitely paid off for The Wandering Hearts and chance meetings have been in their favour with amazing support slots and an industry award under their belt. A debut album is set for release in the Spring/Summer of 2018 and their third single is coming on the 17th November. It's fair to say, The Wandering Hearts are on their way to sell-out more shows and become one of the acts of 2018.
Now check out our images from the day's shenanigans with The Wandering Hearts…

Are you worried about your dogs teeth and dental health? Is there a build up of plaque and tarter?
Statistics suggest that over 80% of dogs have some degree of dental disease by the time they are 3 years old. Monitoring your dog's teeth regularly yourself is a really great way to keep track of your dogs dental health. But just tracking their teeth condition is not enough. It is essential that you take steps to keep your dog's teeth clean. It will also be a lot cheaper if the vet needs to clean your dogs teeth which may require anaesthetic.
When to start looking after your dogs teeth
At 8 weeks of age, your puppy should have a full set of sharp little baby teeth. You don't really need to care for there teeth but you could start getting your dog used to you touching their teeth and gums. This will help you clean them later.
These baby teeth will start falling out at around 4 months of age and by 7 months your dog will have all of their permanent teeth. Take care of these teeth as your dog will have them forever, hopefully.
Signs of dental problems in dogs
Your dog can't tell you if he has a tooth ache, so look for signs of dental problems. If your dog may be displaying any of the following, take him to the vet for a dental checkup:
- Bad breath
- Change in eating or dog chewing habits
- Pawing at the face or mouth
- Depression
- Excessive drooling
- Misaligned or missing teeth
- Discolored, broken, missing or crooked teeth
- Red, swollen, painful or bleeding gums
- Yellowish-brown tartar crust along the gum line
- Bumps or growths within the mouth
Us humans are more prone to cavities than our dogs but they can still develop problems like tartar, plaque build up and gum disease.
How to preventing plaque and tartar build up in dogs
Poor dental health can lead to other, more serious health concerns including heart, liver, and kidney disease. Good teeth and dental care will ensure your dog stays happy and healthy. Here are some way that you can maintain your dogs dental health.
1. Dry food is better for your dogs teeth
Wet dog food is more likely to stick to your dogs teeth that dry kibble dog food. You may wish to try him on a dry dog food if your dog will not let you brush his teeth. This will of course depend on which sort of food you prefer to feed your dog for his overall health. If you choose a wet food diet, then there are other methods that you can use to care for his teeth.
2. Healthy teeth additives
Water additives can be added to your pet's drinking water and work to reduce tartar forming on your dogs teeth. Pet water additives work best as a prevention, so should be introduced before your dog starts to develop tartar.
3. Doggy Dental Chews
Greenies are long time favorite of mine. Greenies Canine Dental Chews are proven to clean dogs' teeth by fighting both plaque and tartar buildup, freshening breath, and maintaining healthier teeth and gums. Designed for daily treating, our dental chews are low in fat and nutritionally complete for adult dogs.
GREENIES Dental Chews for Dogs have The Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC) Seal of Acceptance for plaque and tartar control so make a good choice for your dogs dental health.
How to remove tartar from dogs teeth
Chewing is great for both your dogs mental and dental health. It helps to keep him occupied, engaged as well as removing buildup on his teeth and massaging his gums.
You may need to find the most appropriate chew toy for your dog depending on his size and jaw strength. Some bones and chew toys are especially designed to clean teeth and gums. Ensure the toys is safe for your dog and does not splinter or choke your dog.
1. Dental Chew Toys
Dental chew toys are designed to provide dental stimulation while helping to satisfy a dog's natural urge to chew. Toys help to clean teeth, control plaque and tartar buildup and massage your dog's gums for general oral health.
2. Brushing your dog's teeth
Not as easy as it sounds..... actually for some dogs this will be quite difficult. But, it is well worth a try to keep your dog's teeth healthy and prevent serious dental work later in life. You will need:
- A doggy toothbrush
- Doggy toothpaste
- Lots of planning patience and luck
This might take some practice but here are some hints to try and make it a bit easier:
- Try this after exercise when your dog is nice and tired - and hopefully not grumpy!
- Start with short brushes until your dog gets used to it. Maybe just his front teeth at first
- Talk calmly in a friendly tone
- Reward your dog with a treat, nice pat or walk afterwards
Do NOT use human toothpaste for your dog. Most human toothpastes include fluoride, which is extremely poisonous to dogs. You can find toothpaste formulated for dogs at most good pet stores or here.
Doggy Dental starter kit
If you are starting out with brushing your dogs teeth, you may wish to purchase a combo kit like this, the Doggy Dental Starter Kit.
If you find that your dog loves a good tooth brushing and you continue to do this, ensure you get a good doggy toothpaste and dog specific toothbrush.
Enzymatic Dog Toothpaste - Poultry Flavor
Petrodex Advanced Dental Care Enzymatic Toothpaste is formulated specifically for pets. With patented enzymes, this non-foaming formula works hard but does not require rinsing. With regular use, it helps control plaque and fights bad breath. Best of all, it comes in a delicious poultry flavor that dogs love!
Dog Toothbrush with Double head (2 pack)
This doggy toothbrush is 8.7" long and has duel ends with a unique bent handle to make brushing easier. There is a small brush head and a large brush head to reach those difficult places on both large and small dogs.
Dental sprays or gels for doggy dental care
A dental spray or gel can effectively reduce dental plaque, tartar build-up, bad dog breath without brushing. TruDog Gel Me is an all-natural and holistic dental gel made from essential oils which target tartar and bad breath at their source. TruDog Gel me synergistically bonds with your pets saliva to completely coat their entire mouth with a couple of applications weekly.
Vet check ups for dental health
Dental care at the vet can be very expensive, particularly if you dogs need to have surgery. If you can maintain your dogs dental health with good, regular maintenance can will potentially save your self a lot of money in the long run.
Here is a great vid on doggy dental care which also show you have to brush pooch's teeth.

Switching on Plant Innate Immunity Signaling Systems
Bioengineering and Molecular Manipulation of PAMP-PIMP-PRR Signaling Complex

Part of the Signaling and Communication in Plants book series (SIGCOMM)
Part of the Signaling and Communication in Plants book series (SIGCOMM)
This book describes various bioengineering and molecular manipulation technologies employed to trigger defense responses and manage crop diseases. Plant innate immune system is a sleeping giant armed with an armory of deadly weapons (defense genes) to fight and destroy the invading viral, bacterial, oomycete, and fungal pathogens. When awakened by specific alarm signals, the plant immune system can activate transcription of hundreds of defense genes and confer resistance against wide range of pathogens, specifically against viral and bacterial pathogens against which effective chemical control is still not available. Chemical control of fungal and oomycete pathogens is widely practiced, but development of resistance to the modern fungicides in these pathogen populations restricts the use of these chemicals in management of these diseases. Breeding varieties with built in resistance is ideal but new races of pathogens appear frequently and the resistance often breaks down. Breeding for quantitative resistance is useful, but it is difficult to achieve. Transgenic plants developed by engineering disease resistance genes show resistance only against specific races of pathogens. Recent cutting edge studies on molecular biology of plant innate immunity have revealed the potential of the quiescent plant innate immunity for crop disease management, Enhancing disease resistance by switching on the plant immune system through modern genetic engineering and molecular manipulation technologies would be durable and publicly acceptable.

Not so much, say scientists contesting earlier studies
For the last several decades, Geoscientists have been intrigued by a potential link between erosion rates at the Earth's surface and changes in global climate. What was the cause and what the effect remained unclear. However, a new study now calls into question the link itself. A team of researchers from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, the University Potsdam, University of Grenoble, and University of Edinburgh re-examined 30 locations with reported accelerated erosion after the onset of glacial-interglacial cycles a few million years ago. In nearly all of the locations, the proposed link between erosion and global climate could not be confirmed. Their study appear in the current issue of Nature.
The basic ideas sound convincing: Faster erosion rates can lead to faster silicate weathering and efficient burial of organic carbon in sedimentary basins, both of which can induce global cooling by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. On the other hand, a global increase in erosion rates over the last several million years was associated with glacial-interglacial cycles. This was proposed on the basis of accelerated worldwide sedimentation rates in the oceans. Glaciers scraping off landscapes and subsequent warmings that lead to meltwater transporting sediment into the sea are plausible causes for increased sediment-accumulation rates.
Yet, other studies have indicated that global erosion rates may have remained steady over this time period, and that the apparent increased sediment-accumulation rates are due to the irregularities in how sediments are deposited in space and time, and because older deposits are more likely to be lost by erosion compared to younger deposits."
More recently, a global compilation of thermochronology data, which tracks the cooling history of rocks as they move toward the surface, has been used to infer a nearly two-fold erosion-rate increase from mountainous landscapes over the last several million years. So the link between glacial-interglacial cycles and faster erosion seemed to be confirmed – until a team of researchers from the GFZ, led by Taylor Schildgen, and from the Universities of Potsdam, Grenoble, and Edinburgh re-examined the 30 locations with reported accelerated erosion based on thermochronology.
Their analysis shows that in 23 of these locations, the reported increases are a result of what they term a "spatial correlation bias"; i.e., combining data with disparate cooling histories, a process that converts spatial variations in erosion rates into temporal increases. In most cases, the disparate cooling histories result because data points were combined across major tectonic boundaries (faults). In four other locations, the increases can be explained by accelerated tectonic deformation (i.e., faster mountain-building processes), rather than climatic changes.
Together, these 27 erroneous out of 30 proposed links between faster erosion and climate can be explained by neglecting the local context of the data in the earlier analysis, a dangerous potential pitfall in big-data analysis. In only three cases, climatically induced accelerations are recorded, driven by localized glacial-valley incision.
The team's findings suggest that thermochronology data currently have insufficient resolution to assess if climate change over the last several millions years affected erosion rates on a global scale. They conclude that currently, no data provide clear support for the hypothesized link between faster erosion and global cooling. Nonetheless, a synthesis of local findings that include location-specific information may help to further investigate drivers of global cooling and erosion rates.

Investment bank Keefe Bruyette & Woods released their first quarter bank preview report to clients April 5. In the report, the research team led by analyst Brian Kleinhanzl upgraded Citigroup and Wells Fargo to "Outperform" from "Market Perform."
Kleinhanzl is raising his price target on Citi to $US69 from $US56, because he believes that rising rates, deregulation, and share repurchases will lead to higher rates of return for the bank.
Additionally, KBW thinks that the departure of Fed Governor Daniel Tarullo will be a tailwind. Tarullo headed up Dodd-Frank regulation implementation at the Fed, and was focused on banking regulation. "We have grown more confident that Citi will be able to return capital at a higher level due to regulatory changes post -election (e.g., Fed Governor Tarullo leaving)," the note said.
For years Citi has had a very modest valuation, thought by some to be a value trap. Although Citi's valuation is low, KBW does not believe that is the case.
"Citi currently trades at 9.8 times our 2018 estimate and 0.9 2x tangible book value , both steep discounts to peers (Exhibit 3)," KBW notes. "Part of the discount is due to lower returns, but as returns increase then we believe the discount should dissipate and provide investors an opportunity to find deep value in a sector that has seen valuation increase meaningfully in the last nine months."
On Wells Fargo, Kleinhanzl is raising his price target on the California-based bank to $US63 from $US53.
During the last several months, KBW has valued Wells Fargo with a significant discount due to the negative sentiment surrounding the bank following the accounts scandal" at retail Wells Fargo locations. KBW is raising their price target because it thinks that Wells has moved passed the point where the scandal impacts earnings and the stock.
"We increased the required rate of return after the cross-sell scandal started, but we now believe required returns should be lower after WFC settled the class action lawsuits and several key metrics within the customer retail data have inflected positively," Kleinhanzl wrote. "Thus, the clouds of uncertainty have parted from our view."
Wells has traditionally traded at a multiple premium compared to other mainstream banks, but they lost that premium as a result of the fallout from the accounts scandal.
Kleinhanzl believes that Wells will get their premium back, and that now is the time to buy Wells if you want to get it at a discount.

European Routes of Jewish Heritage
The Wooden Synagogues of Central and Eastern Europe
The surviving wooden synagogues are now all that remains of a completely unique piece of European architectural history.
The surviving wooden synagogues are now all that remains of a completely unique piece of European architectural history.
The surviving wooden synagogues of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth are now all that remains of a completely unique piece of European architectural history. Belonging entirely in conception, style and decoration to the Jewish Communities that built them, these extraordinary buildings are therefore singularly significant as remnants of a lost architectural typology and as the only surviving representatives of a built heritage that was once common across Eastern Europe.
As such, one would expect their continued conservation and preservation to be a paramount concern – and so it has been. There are now several superb books on the subject and a number of Jewish and non-Jewish organisations, regional, national and international, have, in recent years, highlighted the plight of these quite ordinary-looking buildings to the world. Despite this, their rural locations, the dispersal of communities to tend for them and a lack of co-ordinated European effort, have conspired to bring them to the edge of extinction as built heritage. Increasingly, however, the academic work that has been done has continued to further our understanding and appreciation of these buildings, resulting in a number of large scale reconstructions, models and replications of the decorative finishes of the interiors.
This itinerary, therefore, has a dual purpose, to provide an overview of the architectural history of these extraordinary buildings and provide a comprehensive list of the places where the surviving structures and the replicas may be seen and enjoyed. It is also an underlying call to action regarding the conservation of the remaining buildings. Notes on the current conservation status, contact details for those who are engaged in campaigning and preservation have also, therefore, been included.
These buildings are all that remains of a singularly Jewish building type. If we do not act swiftly, they may disappear forever, severing a link that stretches back centuries. The AEPJ is committed to working with its Eastern European partners to help save these buildings – please contact us for more information and how to help.

What happens when HR is put under the microscope?
In the current unpredictable business climate there's a greater requirement than ever for HR to take an evidence-based approach.
We live in a time where there's heightened scrutiny on executive pay and employment policies, where keeping up with the pace of change is challenging, but also where HR has the means to access, use and interrogate vast amounts of data.
HR magazine and KPMG have created this ebook, Evidence-based HR, to help you make strong arguments for the allocation of resources, and recommendations about changing the ways we recruit, recognise and reward people, based on hard data.
The ebook features articles from founding member and vice-chair of the academic board of the Center for Evidence-Based Management Rob Briner. It also takes a deep dive into the power of evidence-based reward, D&I and performance management, and what evidence-based HR means to practitioners. It is your definitive guide to making HR not just more evidence and data-driven, but more credible, influential and truly strategic.

Fans of the National Football League aren't always the most eloquent folks. If you've been to a football game in the last 10 years, that probably doesn't shock you.
The Wall Street Journal recently studied the online comments of all 32 fan bases to see which teams have the most grammatically-unsound writing. They used Grammarly, a grammar-correcting web app, to review hundreds of comments and determine how many errors each fan base made.
The fans who abuse the English language the most?
Hail To The Redskins.
That's right, nobody has more typos than Washington Redskins fans, at least according to the comments WSJ studied for their data. But you'll never guess which team's fans finished in second place.
OK, you probably would. It's the New Orleans Saints. The Falcons finished No. 10, so at least the Saints were able to top the Falcons in something over the last 12 months.
Here's the full list so you can find your team. And maybe run a spellcheck on your comment next time before you hit "send."

The New York Times chimes in this morning on the big (?), bubbling scandal at the New York Police Department in which around two dozen officers in the Bronx could face allegations of making traffic violations disappear for friends, family or otherwise important people. While it's likely that no great harm was caused to any one person as a result of this systematic abuse of power, the Times still oddly spends its first two sentences in today's report couching the allegations in defensive language, noting "It is a practice that by all accounts has been around almost as long as the traffic laws…," and "In the annals of small-bore corruption, there are few things more commonplace…" Bullshit favoritism is still bullshit favoritism.
The grand jury investigation is the Bronx is not yet complete, but it "has involved the extensive use of wiretaps and put hundreds of officers under scrutiny," with "dozens" testifying already, including "at least one high-ranking official."
But the anonymous sources quotes in the Times story call the crimes "relatively minor," probably because an unnamed "law enforcement official" has it in his or her best interest for the NYPD not to be embroiled in a massive scandal. One targeted officer's lawyer said of the ticket-fixing, "It cannot be condoned, but on the other hand, it should not be prosecuted," because of course he did.
Anyone who has ever known anyone who knows a cop — or alternatively, anyone who has ever watched television — knows about this practice. It may not be juicy or sexy or make for good newspaper copy, but when people feel extra-safe in their decades and generations of rule-breaking, that seems like a perfect time to whip them in the ass.

text: Warriors' Durant exits Scotiabank Arena on crutches Loop Sports Created : 11 June 2019 Sport Kevin Durant leaves Game 5 against the Toronto Raptors. Kevin Durant left Scotiabank Arena on crutches after appearing to re-aggravate his leg injury during the Golden State Warriors' NBA Finals clash with the Toronto Raptors. Warriors star Durant – making his long-awaited return from a calf injury – had to be helped off the court in the second quarter of Game 5 in Toronto on Monday. Durant attempted to drive to the basket with less than 10 minutes remaining before half-time. He went down, grabbed his leg and was helped off the court by trainers. The 30-year-old then headed back to the locker room and was joined by team-mates Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala. Durant – who will undergo a MRI on Tuesday – was then seen leaving the arena on crutches in a walking boot, with the Warriors trailing 3-1 in the Finals series. Raptors fans initially cheered as Durant was leaving the floor. But, they quickly followed with a "KD" chant. Durant strained his calf in the Warriors' second-round series against the Houston Rockets and missed the next nine games. He returned in the potential decisive matchup of the NBA Finals in Toronto and played 12 minutes before the injury. Durant scored 11 points on three-of-five shooting and grabbed two rebounds before exiting. Get the latest local and international news straight to your mobile phone for free:

The popularity of solar energy is skyrocketing. Due to the amount of environmental damage that has occurred at the hands of humans, alternative energy sources are starting to be used. The tips you need to start using solar power lay below.
There are two types of photo-voltaic panels. Poly-crystalline panels are usually less expensive, but they are less efficient than mono-crystalline panels. When choosing solar energy supplies for your home, look for the most energy-efficient materials available.
The efficiency of your solar panels depends on their density. Panels featuring higher levels of density typically cost more, but their expense is worthwhile, as you will have greater energy production ability. Before making a decision about solar panels, be sure to make a density comparison.
Heating water with a solar-powered heater can help save the environment. You can find solar systems in both tankless and standard water heaters. They're affordable to install and save you money.
Solar Power
If you would rather transition to solar power slowly, look for small-scale solar power installations. There are two ways to go about it. You must first consider solar panels that can be mounted around your windows for the charging of your electronics. Also, you can maximize your camping adventure through lanterns that are solar powered. Each small step contributes to your financial savings.
You must determine a storage plan for the energy generated by your solar power system. You have two options here. You can either sell the excess power to the electric company to offset the costs during cloudy days, or you can get a bank of batteries that will allow you to get off the grid completely.
It's important to have backup if your solar panels aren't working properly. A generator is a good option, but you could also remain connected to the main power grid and draw power when your panels are down. If you choose to utilize a generator, make sure to test it on a regular basis and don't hesitate to have more generators in the home.
Think about the reason why you want solar energy before you take the plunge. You need to consider a few things. If you have an off the grid property where you would like to live, solar energy is an excellent choice. This is also an awesome option for those who can pay for high initial costs.
You should now realize just how beneficial solar energy can be. Solar power is by quite easily the best energy sources, both from an environmental standpoint and a power standpoint. Your energy needs can be met by solar. You and the Earth will appreciate it.

Mindfulness has become so popular in the past few years and is now made relevant to almost everything – parenting, business, driving, sports, art, lying in bed, walking, swimming, sex, eating …. just about anything. The word is so ubiquitous that it runs the danger of not meaning much any more.
Yet, as someone who has found meditation and awareness practices to be central to my well being and my clinical practice, I need to keep sifting through the hype and asking myself, what is it really all about?
At it's core, mindfulness is simply a practice of being aware with an "open focus". We hold whatever is in our present moment experience with a sense of knowing what is. This can be directed to our inner experience or our perception of what is happening around us. With mindfuln awareness we become a little less identified with our sense of self, and life feels much lighter. At least, this is my experience of it.
When I teach mindfulness in my clinical practice or in groups, I always have to start with finding out what people know about the practice and how it has helped them. Inevitably, because there is so much information about mindfulness, there is a range of experiences and inaccurate perceptions about what mindfulness is, especially as it pertains to mental health.
A common statement I hear from people is, "I tried it but it didn't work for me." This is unfortunate as many who are seeking relief for their mental health may be discarding a tool based on inaccurate perceptions of what mindfulness is and how it can be relevant to helping them. Instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water, I hope to address some of these misperceptions that I commonly hear and clarify what we are talking about when we talk about mindfulness for mental health:
1. Mindfulness is meditation
First and foremost, mindfulness is not synonymous with meditation. Meditation is simply a tool to practice this kind of awareness. It provides the container for us to experience this present moment awareness and it helps us to transfer this awareness to our daily lives in all that we do. Also remember, that not all meditation practices are mindfulness meditation. Meditations can use imagery or evoke a particular feeling or state which is not the same as being open to what is here in the present moment. It is important to make the distinction that mindfulness is not meditation and not all meditations are mindful.
2. Mindfulness is relaxation
Another common myth is that mindfulness is relaxation. It is understandable that people are attracted to mindfulness because there might be a promise of feeling calm and relaxed. However, this is not goal and intention but certainly a desired outcome for many of us who experience too much stress in our lives and for those suffering from anxiety and depression. The benefit of being aware of our experience is that it gives us information about what needs to be changed. If we are stressed and anxious, then we may become aware that we need to let go of muscular tension, slow down thoughts, breathe a little deeper, and that may help to let go of stress. However, the first step is to be aware of what we are feeling which may at first feel quite unpleasant. It may take some time and patience with the practice to feel more balanced and at ease especially if the nervous system is constantly revved up.
3. Mindfulness is cessation of thoughts
Just as we cannot every stop breathing, we can never stop our minds from thinking. It is not uncommon for people to think they cannot meditate because they keep having constant thoughts. Mindfulness helps us see thoughts from an observer perspective, but we can never stop the thoughts from happening. Awareness helps us to get less identified with thoughts and also see the thoughts as they are happening. This perspective also can help us be less identified with unhelpful thoughts that lead to anxiety and depression.
4. Mindfulness is a special state
Sometimes we go into meditation with an expectation of going into a special state. Indeed, in groups we may hear of one participant feeling blissed out, while others feel like a failure for just going over their mundane to do list or feeling overwhelmed with anxiety. With mindfulness we just acknowledge what is without preference, whether it be a blissful or anxious state. People who are struggling with addiction may be somewhat susceptible to this belief as it may be seen as a drug free alternative to spacing out or escaping.
5. Mindfulness is attention control
Lastly, mindfulness is not about attention control although we use practices to focus our attention on what is. The breath is a common point of focus we use to train the attention on the present moment. However, the end goal is not to just control attention but to stabilize the mind. Once we have given time to keep returning attention to the breath, we become much more aware of how the mind works and the tendencies to get pulled into anxious thoughts and rumination.
This list of myths does not get to the actual practice and insights that emerge from engaging in mindful awareness. My hope is that addressing the myths will help people to approach this practice with an open and curious mind rather than with set expectations from the barrage of information out there. It is only through engaging in the practice, ideally with the support of an instructor and group, that people can make sense of mindfulness as a tool for managing their stress and mental health.
In future blogs I will expand on the practices as we address them in the MAST program.
A great, short video that addresses the myths of mindfulness can be found in Andi Puddicombe's TED talk, It Only Takes 10 Minutes a Day.

Check Your Credit
- Check for Flab: Review your accounts and dispute anything that isn't correct. Call creditors and negotiate a settlement to pay off your debt or get on a payment plan.
- Flex your Muscles: Call your credit card company and ask for a credit increase, calculate what 1/3 of your available credit is, so you know what amount to never exceed in credit card spending, look at the number of credit inquiries and set a goal to have that be lower by the end of the year.
Know Your Ratios
- Check for Flab: Run you ratios to discover how you perform as a credit risk. If you are a Complete Controller client ask your Controller about looking at your ratios on our reporting dashboard. Know what ratios banks prefer and set goals for improving yours.
- Flex your Muscles: Use those awesome ratios to build business credit, buy an asset in the business, check your Dunn & Bradstreet report to make sure they are attributing your new use of credit to your business. When your muscles get really big, you can buy a building.
Build Your Savings
- Check for Flab: Look at your savings and determine whether they amount to at least 3 full month's expenses. If you own a business, you should have 3 months savings for business expenses tucked away as well as 3 months savings for household expenses. Entrepreneurship is risky and this is one way you can protect yourself in case of unplanned mayhem.
- Flex your Muscles: Look at establishing a cash benefit plan or 401(k) for your business so you can save even more. This doesn't replace your 3 months expenses which should always be liquid. When your muscles get really big, begin thinking about self-insuring using a captive. It's a great way to take a write off on insurance and get the money back as dividends – now you're playing with the big dogs.
Set Your Goals
- Check for Flab: Make sure you are not setting yourself up for failure. Make goals that are measurable and achievable. If you aren't making progress toward your goals, recalibrate – take a step back and look at internal and external influences that may be getting in your way. Although personal and business goals can often be intertwined it is important to list them separately then look for contradictions between the two.
- Flex your Muscles: Set short term and long term goals and make sure to name the people or roles that will be involved in supporting each achievement. It is a team of various strengths that makes us strong. Consider training or mentorship and a great place to start is Clifton Gallup Strengths Finders.
Chase Your Passion
- Check for Flab: We are stronger and more purposeful if we are chasing a greater good. Passion fuels us to get through the mire because we know that something great is brewing. Define your passion. You will be more effective and happier if you are determined to make meaning in everything you do.
- Flex your Muscles: As entrepreneurs, we have the opportunity to be leaders in our business, community, and families. Great leaders build up the people around them. Spot potential in others and make room for them to flex their muscles successfully. By fostering their growth and earned esteem, you will all become more passionate as a team.

Ireland's first obelisk & and a dead horse!
Stillorgan Obelisk was erected in 1727 and is possibly the first obelisk to be built in Ireland. This location was originally on the grounds of Stillorgan Park House owned by Lord Allen who commissioned the famous architect Edward Lovett Pearce to design it. Edward Lovett Pearce was one of the leading architects of his time (his other works include the original Houses of Parliament on College Green and Castletown House) and took inspiration for it from Bernini's Obelisk in Rome. It stands at an impressive 100 feet is made of granite and is believed to have been built either to provide local employment during the famine that year or it was a monument to his wife, Lady Allen. Legend has it that the second Viscount of Stillorgan, Joshua Allen, had his favorite horse buried beneath the obelisk. It is now located on a housing estate on Carrysfort Avenue.

Abbott's plans for easier overseas adoptions
A FEDERAL vow to make major changes to international adoption rules has won support from advocates who want it to lighten the load for those would-be parents living outside capital cities.
Those wanting to adopt a child from a foreign country start the process with their state government, a bureaucratic obstacle course that can span years even before their application is sent overseas.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has previously said the changes would be on the agenda for the Council of Australian Governments meeting in April but on today emphasised the government's commitment to the reforms.
Mr Abbott was joined by National Adoption Awareness Week founder Deborra-Lee Furness - who is married to Australian actor Hugh Jackman, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell and NSW Family Minister Pru Goward.
Mr Abbott said the reforms would benefit those children "who legitimately need a safe and loving home" and those wanting to provide that home.
A number of federal departments will now form a committee to consider what reforms were required.
Ms Furness said she was ecstatic and thrilled with the Prime Minister's support.
International Adoptive Families of Queensland spokesman Todd Harris said it was not unusual for some hopeful parents to wait seven years before collecting their adopted child.
Many give up along the way, Mr Harris said, particularly as some countries have age limits of 45 for adoptive parents.
Mr Harris said for those in regional parts of the state, the already challenging was made more difficult.
"I don't think you can lay blame, the agency responsible is located in Brisbane and a lot of the assessment is outsourced to private providers," he said.
"I would say it would be much the same for every state."
Minister Goward said changes for NSW were already in train, not just for those looking abroad but for those wanting to adopt locally.
Queensland Communities Minister Tracy Davis was approached for comment but did not respond before deadline.

It is an endless story: regardless of how many different jump table types IDA supports, there will be a new unhandled twist. Be it the instruction scheduler, which rearranged the instructions in an unexpected manner, or the compiler, which learned a new optimization trick, it is the same for IDA: jump tables are missed and functions boundaries are wrong. What's worse, the graph view, so loved by IDA users, displays a trimmed graph without jump tables, virtually useless for any analysis.
That's why we strive to add support for new jump tables to IDA, and since it can not be done for all of them, we focus on compiler generated jump tables for popular processors. Take ARM, for example. The ARM processor module have been improved a lot in v5.2, but yet we received a report with a bunch of new patterns. So expect even better support for ARM in the near future ??
If you are interested in improving the jump table handling for a rarely used processor, here are the explanations how to do it.

SUPPORT: Coastkeeper's Signs of the Tide Event Encourages Residents to Conserve!
May 21, 2013
Free public forum will address water conservation, implementation tips, and access to rebates
Press Release from SD Coastkeeper
SAN DIEGO — Did you know that the water you use to water your grass travels more than 400 miles? Or how about that 60% of residential water is used outside of the home? Surprising right? With this in mind, San Diego Coastkeeper, an organization that protects and restores fishable, swimmable, drinkable waters, invites residents of the San Diego community to learn about simple and important ways to contribute to water conservation in San Diego County at Signs of the Tide: In Over our Heads--San Diego's Water Deficit. At the event, representatives from the City of San Diego Water Conservation Department, RainThanks & Greywater, and Save the Colorado will address the benefits of water conservation and the value of getting involved in the City of San Diego rebate programs. They will also discuss the feasible changes and ways to implement water conservation techniques into homes throughout the county and why residents deserve rebates for implementing these changes. This free event will be from 5:30p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at Carmel Mountain Ranch Library on May 22, 2013.
This event will inform and encourage the residents of San Diego to be part of the water conservation movement. Community members will hear about the City of San Diego rebate program and conservation techniques, such as turf replacement with native plants, using LID-type landscape design, and rainwater harvesting, to help with water conservation and the reduction of storm water pollution. By implementing these techniques throughout San Diego County, we can each contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable area for everybody to enjoy!
At the event, community members will hear from three experts.
• JoEllen Jacoby, Supervising Landscape Conservation Designer from the City of San Diego Water Conservation Department, will discuss the rebate programs offered by the City of San Diego. JoEllen has taught irrigation and landscape design classes at local community colleges and Ball State University, as well as consulted for many water conservation programs.
• Candace Vanderhoff, CEO and founder of RainThanks & Greywater, will provide information about sustainable reuse systems like rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, rain gardens and low impact development techniques to grow food, and native plants, and low water landscapes.
• Gary Wockner, Save the Colorado campaign coordinator, will discuss our relationship to the most endangered river in America while exploring different ways our efforts in San Diego can impact areas beyond our homes and yards.
Everyone is welcome to attend this event at 12095 World Trade Drive, San Diego, CA 92128.
