Well another Tuesday is upon us I have few juicy tidbits for you today. I hope you might find one that works for you.
For all those out there that have a above ground pool. With everything going up these days, it is hard to buy chemicals for the pool. I was told by a professional pool man that you could use baking soda to keep the ph level up in the pool. It works, and it only cost about $0.25 to $0.45 a box.
The best and cheapest way to get rid of weeds growing in the cracks of sidewalks is white vinegar. On a nice bright sunny day just squirt the vinegar all over the weed and into the sidewalk crack. The hot sun will take care of the rest. It's not only cheap but environmently friendly. And it's safe enough to have the kids do this job... I put it in a squirt bottle and have my son do this.
Sprinkle old coffee grounds around places you don't want ants, or on the ant piles themselves. The little buggers will move on or stay away. Used grounds are also said to repel snails and slugs.
To clean those filthy artificial flowers, just pour some salt into a paper bag and add your flowers. Shake very well .The salt will absorb all the dirtydebris and leave your artificial flowers clean and new!
If your scissors get dull, just layer about 7 pieces of foil and cut through them a few times, and the scissors are sharp once again!
Be sure and stop over @ Melinda Zook to see what great tidbits she has today as well.

|The Tidal River Dee
|New Walks For 2012
The Tidal River Dee
Difficulty rating: Easy
Distance: About 3.5 miles
Time: Approx. 1 ½ hours
Map: OS Explorer 312
The River Dee has its source in Loch Dee in the Galloway Hills. It flows southwards into Loch Ken and then takes a meandering course of some 15 miles in distance to enter Kirkcudbright Bay. Unfortunately, there are only a few places where it is possible to walk alongside the river and this flat and easy walk is one of them. It takes in the lower section below Tongland Dam where the river is wholly tidal and, depending on the state of the tide, you will see a variety of landscape that could include the wide, slow moving river or the riverbed itself, left bare by the outgoing tide.
The Start point of the walk is the wonderful town of Kirkcudbright where there is plenty of parking available. See other guides regarding the amenities of the town itself.
The Walk.
Head towards the harbour where you will most likely see part of the fishing fleet that predominantly fishes for King and Queen Scallops in the Irish Sea. With the harbour and river to your left, head the short distance towards the bridge where you cross over the road onto "Dee Walk". This easy to follow path runs alongside the river for ¾ mile to reach a wooden footbridge and, after crossing it, the path turns sharp left to follow the raised banking that protects the land behind from flooding.
In another ¾ mile or so you will come to a point that is the confluence of the River Dee with a much smaller river, the River Tarff. At this point, again depending on the state of the tide, the 2 rivers expand into a large area of water that almost forms a large lake. You will notice the large amount of reeds, which form one of the largest areas of reed beds in Scotland.
After a further ¼ mile you will reach the main road where you turn left to walk over the bridge built by Thomas Telford in 1806. There is an excellent view from the bridge of the river and Tongland Power Station. Note the high water mark etched into the rock. Cross over the bridge and turn left onto the New Galloway road, which is followed for a 100 yards to reach a visitor plaque giving information about the construction of the bridge.
Return towards the bridge but do not re-cross. Instead, continue ahead passing firstly the remains of the railway viaduct that once carried the Kirkcudbright Railway to Castle Douglas and Dumfries and then the Tongland Power Station, which sadly no longer has a visitor centre. In a short distance turn right onto a minor road that drops down to another bridge crossing the river then take the signed footpath up the banking to the right. The path takes you into fields on the opposite side of the power station and it is possible to see the exit tunnels from the turbines where the water is returned into the river.
A couple of hundred yards downriver and you will come to a pile of stones that represent all that remains of the viaduct once spanning the river. Here, you have a couple of alternatives to the walk; you can either continue ahead towards the main road and cross over to rejoin the riverside path or turn left to follow the remains of the railway line banking. Assuming the latter, you will shortly come to a small cutting where the railway line passed through a rocky outcrop, at the end of which you take a left turn diagonally across the field to a gate set in the corner. Passing through the gate you will come to a minor road where you turn right and follow it to the main road.
Turn left at the main road and walk back in the direction of Kirkcudbright for just under ½ mile until you reach a break in the footpath at the entrance to "Fludha House". Cross the road to the opposite footpath and through the gap in the wall to rejoin the riverside path taking you back to Kirkcudbright itself.

Wheeling, IL (PressExposure) December 28, 2009 -- AccuQuote, a leader in providing term life insurance quotes to people across the United States, explains term life insurance rate classifications and uncovers the qualifications associated with each one.
When applying for life insurance, consumers are placed into rate classifications based on the health and lifestyle information they provide on their application. Life insurance companies use these classifications to determine how much consumers will pay for their term life insurance coverage.
"If you're not sure what rate class to apply for, choose the one that seems most similar to your health and lifestyle," says Byron Udell, founder and CEO of AccuQuote. "It's often that life insurance underwriters will place you in a better rate class after applying than what you originally assumed."
AccuQuote uncovers the general qualifications associated with each rate classification:
- Preferred Plus - Consumers should recognize that this rate class is for people who are in overall excellent health. This includes no tobacco use, no history of drug or alcohol abuse and no participation in hazardous activities, such as extreme sports.
- Preferred - Generally, to qualify for preferred rates consumers must be in excellent overall health and must not participate in any hazardous activities.
- Standard - Standard risks refer to consumers who have had some minor health impairments. Examples of someone who would qualify for standard rates would include people who have elevated cholesterol levels, are overweight or regularly engage in tobacco use.
- Substandard - This rate class encompasses consumers who have more than mild health conditions. An additional charge will be added to these people's premiums depending on the risk factors involved.
Consumers can find out which rate class they qualify for by contacting a multi-carrier life insurance brokerage firm like AccuQuote. AccuQuote's licensed life insurance professionals will determine a consumer's rate class and find them the best value in term life insurance rates among dozens of top-rated life insurance carriers.
"Keep in mind that underwriting guidelines vary among life insurance companies, so where one company may charge you a higher premium, another company may place you in a better rate class," says Udell. "The most important thing to remember is that you shouldn't leave anything out on you term life insurance application. If you do, you risk leaving your family unprotected should something devastating happen due to a condition your life insurance carrier was unaware of."

Fajardo sees more mature La Salle heading into Ateneo rematch
Few teams have swept an elimination round series against the De La Salle University Lady Spikers.
On Saturday, facing the prospect of losing twice to arch-rivals Ateneo de Manila University Lady Eagles in the elimination round, the Lady Spikers promise an all-out battle for pride.
The match technically has no bearing, as both Ateneo and La Salle have said that netting the twice-to-beat advantage in the elimination was their main goal. And with both teams tied at 11-2, the winner gets the number one seed in the Final Four. Neither squad, however, minds their seeding.
According to La Salle skipper Kim Fajardo, Saturday's clash is more about regaining their signature confidence and pride when facing their arch-rivals.
In their first round meeting, the Lady Spikers had let go of big leads in the first two sets and allowed the Lady Eagles to crawl back and claim a 2-0 set lead. The deficit was too much for the defending champions to overcome.
"Proven naman na pag natatalo kami, nag-iiba 'yung mindset ng team. Mula noong natalo sa Ateneo, nag-iba talaga ngayong second round," Fajardo told Tiebreaker Times.
The Lady Spikers piled up six straight wins after losing to Ateneo. In every match, they displayed dominance. La Salle are in the top two of five of the six measured skills. They have developed into the league's top blocking, serving, setting, and receiving team.
Last season's Best Setter saw a drastic leap in her teammates' aggressiveness.
"Nag-mature na talaga sila ngayon.
"Kasi noong first round, hindi pa sila sure sa ginagawa nila, kung ano talaga 'yung role nila. Ngayon inaako na talaga nila 'yung role nila. Kapag open [hitter] ka, iniisip na nila na sila 'yung ace dito. Ganyan na sila mag-isip ngayon," the Batangas-native remarked.
Fajardo recalled reminding her teammates of La Salle's winning tradition to liven their spirits.
"Tandaan nila kung sino sila. Kung ano sila last year. Minsan kasi nalilimutan nila. Inaalala lang nila kung sino sila.
"Ako lang 'to. Hindi nila iniisip kung ano ba 'yung team? Champion. Gusto nila minsan na mag-isa lang maglaro pero hindi naman pwede 'yun. Hindi naman kami ganoon nanalo ng championship last year," the graduating playmaker added.
Given how the two teams have dominated the field, the championship most likely will be another Ateneo-La Salle meeting. For a repeat-hungry La Salle, another loss to their Katipunan-based foes is unacceptable.
"Masaya naman kami na twice-to-beat pero siyempre meron pa rin kaming goal. Siyempre, kailangan ma-defend 'yung title namin," the 23-year-old setter proclaimed.

Advertisements that depict vehicles conquering the great outdoors are under scrutiny following Drive's cover story last week that revealed some vehicles can't handle the conditions portrayed in their commercials.
In particular, the advertisements for Ford's Territory have come to the attention of authorities and rival brands, who stop short of accusing the company of misleading conduct.
A newspaper advertisement for the Territory claims it "gives you the ability to go off the beaten track", with the vehicle pictured against a fanciful backdrop atop a sand dune. It gives the price "from $38,990" – the price of the two-wheel drive version.
In small type at the bottom of the ad it is pointed out that the vehicle depicted is a four-wheel-drive variant.
"This could be construed by some people as being misleading," said the deputy CEO of the Australian Consumers Association, Norm Crothers. "People could believe that 'off the beaten track' means that the vehicle could go off-road or on what are described on maps as four-wheel-drive tracks. Under the terms of the Trade Practices Act, it could bear examination." Misleading advertising can attract fines of up to $110,000 for corporations under the NSW Fair Trading Act, a spokesperson for the minister's office said.
Toyota's senior manager of marketing strategy, Peter Evans, said: "We have some concerns about the Territory ads and we are going to talk to [Ford] about it. If we don't get any action we'll take the matter further, but we'd rather approach them first rather than make an official complaint to authorities.
"The ad clearly depicts a four-wheel-drive Territory performing four-wheel-drive manoeuvres, yet the price at the end of the ad is for the two-wheel-drive model."
Evans believes there are Advertising Standards and Trade Practices issues with the advertisements. "We believe that there is a valid argument that they could be seen as misleading," Evans said.
Holden spokesman Jason Laird added: "There is legislation in place covering what is perceived to be fair and accurate representation of vehicles, and this would be a matter for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to consider."
Ford spokeswoman Louise Teesdale said there had been "absolutely no complaints from the public about Territory advertising".
"Most people are aware that Territory is a range of vehicles," she said.
In Drive's comparison test over nearly 6000km to the centre of Australia, both the Ford Territory and Holden Adventra were found to be more fragile than the ads for them suggest.
The ACCC has power to examine whether such matters are in breach of the Trade Practices Act, which has provision for penalties including jail and fines of millions of dollars. It would be up to a court to decide whether an average person would be led to believe that the vehicles were capable of the exploits depicted in the advertisements, a spokesperson for the ACCC, Lin Enright, said.
"The courts tend to be quite lenient on what they refer to as 'puffery' in this area, but if we were to receive complaints we would look at the matter further," she said, adding the same would apply to suggestions of misleading advertising regarding pricing or specifications of vehicles. Motor vehicle advertising is controlled by a Federal Chamber of Automotive Industry code of practice, which has been in effect since December 1, 2002, and is administered by the Advertising Standards Board. However, in November last year, state and territory transport ministers expressed concern at what they referred to as the failure of the code and suggested a new mandatory system of regulation for motor vehicle advertisements.
A review of the code has been carried out involving the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, state and territory road safety authorities, motoring organisations such as the NRMA, the Advertising Standards Bureau, and representatives of relevant community organisations, and is expected to be presented for approval to the Australian Transport Council on June 30.
Importantly, a draft of the code notes that the use of "disclaimers" at the end of ads "cannot in any way be used to justify the inclusion of material which otherwise does not comply with the provisions of the code".

Not a happy camper: a warning to car-makers
By Tim Colquhoun
Published: The Sydney Morning Herald
Four-wheel drives are not the only Australian-made vehicles which may be unsuitable for outback conditions.
Following Drive's cover story last week, we were contacted by a reader who claimed he had been similarly let down by equipment promoted as being built tough enough to survive rugged Australian conditions. Local car makers should take note: he took the manufacturer to task and won.
When Bob Sanderson bought a new Jayco Outback caravan in August 2002, he and his wife were planning to take the trip of a lifetime to the centre of Australia. The promotional material assured that the $18,490 caravan he bought was up to the task.
"We bought a brand new Jayco Outback camper trailer to go exactly out where you guys went," Sanderson said. "The advertising was 'travel the vast number of unsealed roads that lead to the great parts of Australia'."
The caravan proved less than suited to outback use when they embarked on their adventure in June last year, Sanderson said.
"We had no end of trouble with it. Similar faults to the description that you had – stone damage, a stone took out our water tank, we lost our brakes a couple of times, broken shock absorber mounts, a door fell off it, all sorts of things.
"We cut our trip short and came back on the tarred roads because we didn't feel it was going to get back."
He approached both the dealership he had bought the caravan from and the manufacturer to seek a refund, but to no avail. He then took the matter to the Department of Fair Trading. "We had a ruling ... that rendered it not fit for the purpose for which it was sold to us.
"On that basis it was ruled that we return the trailer to the point of sale where we were to receive a refund."
He was refunded $16,000 of the $18,490 price because the tribunal deemed he had gained some benefit.
Jayco told Drive yesterday that the company was appealing the decision.
Jayco's website now says: "There are limitations and some bush tracks are barely suitable for a vehicle let alone a camper trailer. Safety first is just common sense, so take precautions like driving slower and more carefully than usual. Experienced [drivers] will say it's better to use your camper trailer or pop-top as a base station and head out in the rougher terrain without anything under tow."

Sometimes, all that we need is a little energy to go around with our daily routine. And if you are looking for a way to boost your day, there is no short-term fix.
Wondering what endorphins are? Well, these are feel-good chemicals that are released in our brains when we are happy. This sudden rush makes you feel connected to others and you feel more connected to the world. When these chemicals are released, it helps us to relax and reduce anxiety and fight depression as well.
Experts compare endorphins to opiates, as it gives an intense pleasure. The good news is that you do not have to run a marathon to experience this kind of high.
One of the easiest ways to boost your energy is by fixing your diet, changing your workout regimen and modifying your lifestyle to better accommodate the endorphins in your life.
In this article, we are here to share some of the interesting ways to naturally increase your endorphins to enjoy your day.
Sniff Some Vanilla Or Lavender Oil
There are certain aromas that can lift up your mood instantly by influencing the production of endorphins. Studies reveal that the scent of vanilla helps to reduce anxiety, which is often associated with depression. Lavender oil has the same effect. You can increase your endorphins by lighting some vanilla-scented candles, or add vanilla essential oil to your bathwater or simply dab some lavender oil on your wrists and temples.
Take A Little Ginseng
Ginseng helps to give relief from fatigue and gets rid stress and it also helps those recovering from a long-term illness. This herb balances the release of stress hormones in the body and also supports the body organs that produce these hormones. Studies reveal that it may also enhance the production of endorphins. So, what better reason to include this herb in your diet? You can have ginseng tea.
Take A Group Exercise Class
Exercising in groups has few distinct advantages, according to a recent study. Not only will friends discuss and learn new exercises, it also gives your endorphin levels an extra boost.
Seek Out Daily Laughter
Researchers relate laughter as 'inner jogging'. It helps to lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormones, boost immunity, raise the levels of infection-fighting cells and help to trigger the release of endorphins. This is one of the reasons why you have to laugh.
Make Love
This is one of the natural ways to increase your endorphin levels. Making love with your partner helps to increase endorphin levels to a great extent. Try to create a romantic atmosphere. Give each other a relaxing massage or use aromatic oils such as jasmine, rose, etc, to feel relaxed.
Savour Some Chocolate
High content of polyphenols and other antioxidants are present in dark chocolates, which help in reducing inflammation, lower blood pressure, control the cholesterol levels and protect the health of your arteries. It also contains chemicals that help in releasing endorphins.

This was a hit this week in my house. I thought I'd try this cookie recipe out before Christmas arrived to see if it worked. It does, and it's versatile. With a few changes, I made this rice free too. The source is the Special Diets for Special Kids cookbook, by Lisa Lewis. This was a contribution by Karen Seroussi. I made some changes to the original recipe and I'll note those along the way.
2/3 cup brown rice flour (I used sorghum)
1/3 cup sweet rice flour (I used tapioca here)
1/3 cup tapioca starch (I also kept this 1/3 cup tapioca)
1 TBL cinnamon
1 tsp ginger (use more for a cookie with a real ginger bite)
2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup molasses (I used Steens Cane Syrup)
2 TBL water
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. So, my flour mixture was 2/3 cup sorghum and 2/3 cup tapioca. Then, add the liquids.
Mix well. Add tapioca if necessary to get a dough that you can knead.
Roll the dough out on a floured board or surface, using the tapioca, to about a quarter-inch thickness. Cut out gingerbread person shapes, flouring the cutter with tapioca.
Bake at 350 degrees on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 14 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a rack. This gave me a nice, crunchy cookie. Bake for less time to make more chewy and less crunchy.
If you want, add eyes and buttons with icing.

That cautionary phrase can apply to guys selling cardboard boxes full of half-price 3-D televisions out of the back of their trucks, e-mail offers from foreign princes looking for your help to transfer their vast overseas fortunes to the United States and, most importantly for fantasy owners, the Chicago Bears' 2010 offense.
On the surface, what's not to like? Jay Cutler threw 555 passes last season, including eight touchdowns in the last two weeks of the season, and now gets the honor of running an offense designed by Mike Martz, the coordinator responsible for the St. Louis Rams teams that turned Kurt Warner from grocery-store bag boy to NFL MVP and three-straight 500-point seasons. Surely this means that Johnny Knox, Devin Hester and Devin Aromashodu are primed to break out as the 2010 version of Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Ricky Proehl, right?
If you believe that, let me help you carry that TV to your car; after all, it's as heavy as a pile of bricks.
First off, let's do a quick history lesson on "The Greatest Show on Turf," shall we? Although Warner became a fantasy superstar in this aggressive, take-no-prisoners passing attack, the fact is that even at the Rams' apex, when they went 14-2 in 2001, no wide receiver on the team had more than seven touchdown receptions. In fact, with all those downfield options luring the defense further and further from the line of scrimmage, it was running back Marshall Faulk who led the team in both catches (83) and receiving scores (nine). Perhaps that bodes well for the combination of Matt Forte and Chester Taylor, but it still leaves what essentially amounts to table scraps to be split up among the top trio of wide receivers in Chicago.
So let's talk about that trio, shall we? Taking Earl Bennett (who's coming off knee surgery) out of the equation for now, who is the best of the Bears' bunch? Is it Knox, who had a solid first two weeks of the 2009 season but had just one game with more than 50 receiving yards the rest of the way? Is it Hester, the speedster with tons of promise but whose versatility has not elevated him to that next level, unlike, say, DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia?
No, the best bet for saving Lovie Smith's job and propelling your fantasy team into the postseason is Aromashodu. After missing most of the 2009 season with a bad hamstring, Aromashodu emerged as Cutler's favorite receiver late in the year, breaking out with four scores in the last four games of the season. What makes him stand head and shoulders above his fellow receivers is that he literally does stand head and shoulders above his teammates. At 6-foot-2, Aromashodu relies more on size and strength than speed to get open, and therein lies the difference. Look no further than the Bears' second preseason game against the Oakland Raiders for the sad truth: The offensive line is awful.
In one half of play, Cutler was sacked five times, a harbinger of things to come. Cutler can't sit back in the pocket and wait for complicated downfield routes to develop. He'll need to heave it on up there. Aromashodu is the best bet among the Bears' wide receivers to both catch Cutler's eye and come down with the ball. However, before you start moving him too far up your draft lists, there's one more player who needs to be discussed: Greg Olsen.
Olsen led the Bears in receptions last season with 60, yet naysayers may be quick to point out that the Martz system has never been a boon for tight ends. In fact, the Martz-managed tight end who's had the most receptions was Rams tight end Ernie Conwell, who produced a very ordinary 38 catches in 2001. However, Olsen is far too talented to be discarded, and someone has to step into those multiple-receiver formations where the likes of Az-Zahir Hakim used to live. With Brandon Manumaleuna signed to do the bulk of the tight end-blocking duties, I expect Olsen to be used as if he were a wide receiver. That will further eat into the receiving pie, especially near the end zone, where Cutler likes to look for Olsen as the first, second and third option before finally relenting and throwing the ball elsewhere, assuming, of course, that the quarterback somehow is still standing.
Is it really possible for Cutler to be a top-10 quarterback without a single wide receiver in the top 50? Absolutely. Even if he throws 30 interceptions, the sheer quantity of passes that may be called in the Bears' huddle this season makes a 4,000-yard season a virtual lock even given the obvious troubles along the offensive line.
Every Bears receiver is just as likely to be targeted as any other, game in and game out, but if you're trying to figure out which one has the best shot at consistent success, it has to be Aromashodu. Given that he's likely to be listed as the No. 3 guy on the depth chart, a designation that has little meaning in this system, you'll also be able to sit on him even longer in your fantasy drafts, making his price tag well worth the risk.

"The Kauffman Center Presents series features diverse performances that showcase excellence in the performing arts. We're thrilled to be welcome two of Broadway's finest performers to the Kauffman Center," said Jane Chu, President & CEO of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

One of Broadway's brightest stars, Peters received both the Tony Award and Drama Desk Award for her critically acclaimed performance in Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical "Song and Dance." Peters earned her second Tony Award, her third Drama Desk Award, and Outer Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Annie Oakley in one of Broadway's most popular musicals, the smash Tony Award winning hit Broadway revival of "Annie Get Your Gun." Peters also received Tony nominations for her work in the 1992 musical "The Goodbye Girl" and Stephen Sondheim's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical "Sunday in the Park With George."
Recently, Peters guest starred on NBC's new hit series "SMASH." She has appeared in the Lifetime movie, "Living Proof" opposite Harry Connick, Jr.; a guest starring role in the two-hour 2008 season premiere of the ABC-TV hit series, Grey's Anatomy, and a recurring role on the popular TV hit, "Ugly Betty.

Film credits include "The Jerk" with Steve Martin, "The Longest Yard" with Burn Reynolds, "Silent Movie" with Mel Brooks, " Annie" with Carol Burnett, and "Pink Cadillac" with Clint Eastwood.

Ben's television guest appearances include "How I Met Your Mother," "Grey's Anatomy (for which he won the Prism Award), "House of Payne," "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," "OZ," "Touched By An Angel," "Second Noah," "New York Undercover," "The Nanny," "Star Trek – The Next Generation," "The Jamie Fox Show," "The Promised Land," and "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." Ben has also had recurring roles on "Silk Stalkings," "Webster," and "J.J. Starbuck and Booker."
On January 30, 2012, Ben was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame. This coming July, he will appear at the new venue, 54 Below, for two weeks, followed by the Broadway debut of his one man show. The Museum of Dance will honor Ben with a lifetime achievement award in August 2012.

Be aware not all involved may be as altruistic as you.
Jun 22-Jul 23
You tend your nest, you take care of your family. That's what the Moonchild does. Your values are focused with how to nurture. It's the way the sign Cancer works. However, there is so much asked of you these days. So many need help as part of a bigger family. Mercury, Uranus, and Jupiter help strengthen negotiations on your side. Then Mars squares Pluto—and the truth comes out.
Jul 24-Aug 23
Even as a fire sign, winter won't slow you down. Sure, you'd rather stretch out and relax on a sunny beach. (Unless, of course, you're on one right now!) Wherever you may find yourself, you're still up for a fair challenge. With so many planets in your solar eighth house, there may be shenanigans this week. Keep stoking the flames of your inner radiance. You can beat this.
Aug 24-Sep 23

Be your own detective. Waiting quietly, the intuitive side of your mind leads you to answers this week. Mars pushes the button, Mercury follows the trail and Pluto brings a breakthrough.
Sep 24-Oct 23
This starts out as your week, then snaps back like a rubber band. Sometimes it's nice just to know it's not you. We don't blame the stars, we thank them. In gratitude, we're given a silver lining. Sometimes a gold one. Mercury connects beautifully with Uranus and Jupiter, bringing news of a surprise bonus. Then Mars squares Pluto, with tension and power plays to overcome.
Oct 24-Nov 22
Most astrology buffs put Scorpio in the role of the detective, which is appropriate (you live for mysteries). You can't help it, and others love you for it. Someone has to be willing to go through the muck to bring back a torch of hope and light! You're a hero to those who know you. To others, you're the mystery, which is fun, too. Mars square Pluto places you on top this week.
Nov 23-Dec 22
It starts out with a simmer on the surface, and expands to a roaring boil. You are in the throes of a growth spurt. When it's over, you'll enjoy what you've become. Not that you don't already. It's just that the dots will connect seamlessly. You'll see why things were hard before, and how they don't have to be that way anymore. Mars square Pluto will see to that!
Dec 23-Jan 20
Mercury makes a gorgeous connection with Uranus and Jupiter. Communications prosper. Or you could say conversations make money. Watch for Mars square Pluto this week. Pluto is in Capricorn for what seems forever, trying to make a point. (You've been right all along, of course.) Then Mars flips a switch. Something is about to snap. Stock up on treats and hot baths.
Jan 21-Feb 19
Mercury is in your sign, making you the prince or princess of social media (or your local community). It sextiles Uranus and trines Jupiter retrograde to open all kinds of doorways. You can express what's real, touching a pulse point as you connect. Watch out for Mars square Pluto this week. It's a volcanic pressure for change, with Mars as the trigger point to start things.
Feb 20-Mar 20
Finally, the force is with you. You can feel it flowing in and around. Mercury communicates logic in an enjoyable way with Uranus and Jupiter making it fun and exciting. And bigger, too. Then Mars squares Pluto and you may not know whether you're coming or going. Money you've made goes up against any big guys who owe you. Can you survive this? You can, and you will!

This article was prepared and presented by Wesley D. Fitzwater of Fitzwater Meyer, LLP to professionals of the Oregon State Bar in 2002.
(The author wishes to express his thanks to Professor Valerie J. Vollmar, Willamette University School of Law; James A. Perry, Vice President and Manager, U.S. Bank Trust Group; and Marcia L. Jory, Vice President and Manager, First Interstate Bank Trust Department; Kathy Kearns, Carol Gundlach and the staff at Resource Connectors, Ltd., a Health Care Management and Consultation Firm providing private case management in Portland, for their assistance with these materials.)
(The author also wishes to thank NAELA member, Janet L. Kuhn, Attorney at Law in McLean, Virginia, for permission to use portions of her article published in the NAELA Quarterly entitled Revocable Living Trusts: Planning for the Possible Incapacity of the Affluent Client, Fall 1991, pp 12-14.)
As attorneys, our first priority is to promote the objectives of our client. For estate planners, this has historically been planning of our client´s death. The client´s primary objective was to maximize the inheritance by reducing or avoiding taxes and probate expenses. Wills and trusts were the tools used most often to accomplish these goals.
Many attorneys are now seeing a change or 'evolution' in client objectives. Clients now are less interested in maximizing an 'inheritance' and more concerned with maximizing and preserving their personal autonomy and providing for their continued care and comfort.
Society has been changing. Many people are no longer able to rely upon a close and supportive family to be there in times of need. They are looking for other options and other protection.
Elder law attorneys are now being asked to find the legal mechanisms which will assure that the client´s wishes for both personal care and asset management will be implemented. This becomes even more important when the client is faced with an incapacitating illness or injury.
Elder law attorneys are beginning to use the revocable trust, the power of attorney and other documents as the tools to facilitate more options and, therefore, more protection for our clients. But to do this, we must go beyond the normal estate planning philosophies (death and taxes) and look at the types of drafting options that can protect and preserve our client´s quality of life.
For the past 20 years, the Revocable Living Trust has been increasing in popularity. The primary purpose of the revocable trust (or at least the focus of its marketing) has been to avoid the time and expense of probate. While this is an admirable goal, it is this author´s opinion that the revocable trust can be, and should be, much more. (The following materials and drafting options also apply to the drafting of durable powers of attorney. For simplicity, the materials will focus upon the Revocable Living Trust.)
A properly drafted Revocable Living Trust can do more than - avoid probate. The revocable trust, in combination with powers of attorney and other documents (advance directive, etc) can also afford our clients with more protection and more assurance that their wishes will be implemented.
The revocable trust can allow the client to be her own trustee and retain control over her finances for as long as possible - hopefully, forever. If the client becomes incapacitated, a successor trustee, appointed by her, steps in to control the trust and provide for the client. The trustee must follow the client´s instructions and directions. In this manner, the client is still able, as much as is possible, to control the management of her assets and her personal care.
The Revocable Living Trust is flexible and can be tailored to the specific needs, desires and financial resources of the client. This includes the ability to provide for the care and comfort of the settlor/beneficiary.
Specific instructions for care and comfort are even more important when the successor trustee is an institution (bank or trust company) or a family member who is very busy or geographically remote.
The following options should be discussed with the client and included in the trust document, if the client so desires:
1. Make clear the first priority of the successor trustee is to spend the client´s money - on the client. He should be made as comfortable as possible. If this results in the remainder beneficiaries receiving less, so be it.
Drafting Option 1: Trust Purpose
'The primary purpose of this trust is to provide me with the highest possible quality of life. My trustee is instructed to exercise in a liberal manner my trustee´s power to make distributions for this purpose. The rights of other trust beneficiaries shall be secondary to my rights as a trust beneficiary.'
Drafting Option 2
'I direct my trustee to conserve my assets to a point; however, my quality of life and the provision for that quality of life shall take precedence over the rights of the remainder beneficiaries, upon my death.'
2. Specify that the client prefers to be cared for at home. Make it clear that the client prefers this, even if the cost of such care would be significantly greater than the cost of nursing or other community based care.
Drafting Option: Stay at Home
'My trustee is specifically directed to use income and principal of the trust to allow me to live in my home as long as medically possible. My trustee may retain a geriatric care manager to establish and supervise home care for me and to develop a care plan which will allow me to remain at home. If 24-hour nursing care is required in order for me at home, I direct my trustee to obtain such care (including any necessary equipment) as is reasonable under the circumstances. I express my strong desire to remain in my home, rather than being placed in any convalescent or long-term care facility.'

I express my strong desire to remain in my home, rather than being placed in any convalescent or long-term care facility.'
3. Authorize the trustee to retain a geriatric care manager. Private case management services are becoming more available and more popular to assist trustees in the daily management and care needs of the beneficiary. The geriatric care manager can be assist with assessment and identification of the client´s health and psycho-social concerns, and to make recommendations about the best method of addressing those concerns.
Drafting Option: Hire Care Manager
'I authorize my trustee to retain and utilize the services of a Geriatric Care Manager (optional: who adheres to the standards for care management as outlined by the National Council on Aging and/or the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Management), to manage my health and psycho-social concerns.'
4. Authorize the trustee to retain a geriatric care manager to establish and supervise home care for the client.
Drafting Option: In-home Care
'I authorize my trustee to retain a Geriatric Care Manager to assess my functional needs and to assist me, my family and my trustee in establishing and supervising in-home support services, including hiring and supervision of household help and personal care providers. It is my express intention to remain at home for the longest possible time and that shall be the goal of the care manager.'
5. Authorize the trustee to provide additional services and care monitoring if the client become hospitalized or requires placement in a long-term care facility.
Drafting Option: Care Monitoring and Personal Needs
'If I am hospitalized or require placement in a nursing or other long-term care facility, I direct my trustee to take such steps as are necessary to assure frequent monitoring of the quality of my care and to provide for my health and psycho-social needs, including, but not limited to, providing for a private room, extra caregivers and companions, therapy, availability of my favorite foods and entertainment.'
6. Authorize the trustee to provide for other personal needs and comforts.
Drafting Option 1: Recreation and Travel
'My trustee shall provide me with appropriate recreational and sports activities, including travel as my health permits, and attendance at concerts and other musical, theatrical or sporting events.'
Drafting Option 2: Companions
'My trustee shall employ or arrange for volunteer companions when necessary to enhance my quality of life to assist me to live in my own residence and avoid institutionalization. In selecting companions, my trustee shall consider my personal preferences.'
Drafting Option 3: Spiritual Concerns
'My trustee shall provide for the involvement of clergy or spiritual leaders in my care, give them access to me at all times, maintain my membership in religious or spiritual organization or arrange for memberships in such groups, as I may select and enhance my opportunities to derive comfort or spiritual satisfaction from activities, books, tapes, and other materials.
Drafting Option 4: Group Affiliations
'My trustee shall continue to provide for my involvement and membership in any social, political or spiritual groups or organizations I was affiliated with prior to my incapacity. This shall include, but not be limited to, continuing my membership, payment of dues and membership fees, allowing my attendance at group meetings and activities, allow for gifts similar to my previous gifting, provide for the purchase of books, tapes, and other materials.'
7. Authorize the trustee to provide for or continue legal representation.
Drafting Option 1: Legal Representation
'If I so request, my trustee shall retain, at the expense of the trust, an attorney, who shall act as my individual counsel, for the purpose of protecting my interests and assuring that my instructions, as expressed in this trust instrument, are followed and will be accepted by a court as being in my 'best interests.' If I am incapacitated to such an extent that I cannot so request, I authorize my trustee to act in the same manner, if my trustee deems is it appropriate.'
Drafting Option 2: Legal Representation
'If there should be a conflict as to my care needs and/or for the provision for those care needs, I authorize my trustee to seek the assistance of my attorney to assist in the resolution of the conflict. I believe my attorney is in the best position to understand and represent my concerns and intentions.
The 'terms of the trust' control every aspect of the trust, including the trust purpose, the incapacity of the settlor/beneficiary, the appointment of successor trustee(s), the duties and powers of the trustee, and the nature and extent of distributions to the beneficiaries. See ORS 128.007.
Each of the following legal issues requires attention by the drafter of the trust.
A. Statement of Trust Purpose
Although often neglected in the modern Revocable Living Trust, the statement of trust purpose is an important component in a well-drafted trust.
In Rushlight v. Seton, 145 Or. 1, 23 P.2d 1112 (1933) at page 4, the court stated:
'... in our opinion it (the decision of the trustees) is not in keeping with the true purpose and spirit of the will (testamentary trust). Under such circumstances, it becomes the duty of the court of equity to supervise the execution of the trust that the will of the testator will be carried into effect.' (emphasis added)
The objective of the Statement of Trust Purpose is to clearly express the intent of the settlor. As such, it provides direction and it empowers the trustee to act accordingly. It is the philosophy and the goal of the trust.
'The primary purpose of this trust is to enhance my comfort and personal dignity during my lifetime.'
'The primary purpose of this trust is to enhance my comfort and personal dignity during my lifetime.'
Drafting Option #2 - Trust Purpose
B. Incapacity
The 'quality of life' drafting discussed in this chapter is most often implemented when the settlor/beneficiary becomes incapacitated. At that time, the settlor is no longer able to modify the trust or direct distributions. Also, a successor trustee is appointed to administer the trust and make distributions to the beneficiary(ies).
The first legal issues to consider are, therefore:
(a) when is the settlor/beneficiary considered to be incapacitated; and
(b) who will make that decision.
When is a client or client´s family member no longer capable of making decisions for themselves? I have yet to find a more difficult question to answer or a more difficult decision for a family to make. For a more detailed discussion of the legal issues concerning capacity, see Attachment 1 to this outline on Page 4A-16.
The drafter should define the term 'incapacity' or 'incapacitated' and should create a procedure to determination. The client should be directly involved with the drafting to insure that the client´s personal wishes and desires are followed.
Drafting Option 1: Incapacity
'If I become incapacitated, I name (successor trustee) to act as successor trustee. For purposes of this instrument, I shall be considered incapacitated if any physical or mental condition renders me unable to manage the trust estate, including the endorsement and writing of checks, and if such condition is likely to continue for a period greater than 90 days.My incapacity shall be conclusively established if my regular attending physician (or two physicians, authorized to practice medicine in Oregon or in any state or country in which I am then residing) certify in writing that I am incapacitated. In the absence of such certification, any co-trustee or successor trustee or any beneficiary of the trust may petition any court having jurisdiction to remove me as trustee and if no co-trustee exists, appoint a successor trustee. No trustee or beneficiary shall incur liability as a result of filing a petition, provided the petition is filed in good faith and in the reasonable belief that I am incapacitated.'
'If I become incapacitated, I name (successor trustee) to act as successor trustee. For purposes of this instrument, I shall be considered incapacitated if any physical or mental condition renders me unable to manage the trust estate, including the endorsement and writing of checks, and if such condition is likely to continue for a period greater than 90 days.
My incapacity shall be conclusively established if my regular attending physician (or two physicians, authorized to practice medicine in Oregon or in any state or country in which I am then residing) certify in writing that I am incapacitated. In the absence of such certification, any co-trustee or successor trustee or any beneficiary of the trust may petition any court having jurisdiction to remove me as trustee and if no co-trustee exists, appoint a successor trustee. No trustee or beneficiary shall incur liability as a result of filing a petition, provided the petition is filed in good faith and in the reasonable belief that I am incapacitated.'
Drafting Option 2: Incapacity
'The term 'incapacity' or 'incapacitated' refers to a trustor´s inability, without assistance, to properly manage or take care of his/her affairs and/or the administration of this trust. A determination of incapacity shall be made (a) by a decision of incompetency from a court of competent jurisdiction or, in the absence of such adjudication, (b) by written certificates executed by two licensed physicians. The trustee may rely conclusively on the certificates.'
Drafting Option 2: Incapacity - Personal Choice
'I direct my trustee to consult with Dr. Jane Jones, if available, as one of the licensed physicians referred to in this paragraph.'
PRACTICE NOTE: There are many client who, because of personal or religious beliefs or bias, prefer the decision be made by someone other than a physician. Consider including language which allows a practitioner, healer, clergy, friend or family member to be the decision maker (or co-decision maker). AVOID naming the successor trustee or a beneficiary, unless you have fully discussed the potential conflict of interest with your client.
Drafting Option 4: Incapacity - Ability to Contest Decision
'In the event that the grantor disagrees, in writing, with the determination of one or more physicians that the grantor is incapacitated, the above authorization is revoked. In that event, a co-trustee or successor trustee or beneficiary(ies) hereunder must petition the court having jurisdiction over this trust for a finding or determination of incapacity.'
C. Appointment of a Successor Trustee
For clients with substantial assets, but with no close family, an institutional trustee (bank or trust company) can be a good choice for successor trustee. Many authors recommend the combination of co-trustees, one of which is a family member and the other of which is a corporate banking institution. The individual member can provide the necessary family tie and discretionary insight while the banking institution can provide the financial expertise in asset management. Although each of the trustees is entitled to a fee, the family trustee may accept a nominal or reduced fee.
Drafting Option: Individual and Corporate as Co-trustees
' My individual trustee and my corporate trustee shall divide their responsibilities as follows:
'(a) Decision about trust administration, management, and distribution shall normally be made by mutual agreement of the trustees. If the trustees cannot agree, the decision of my individual trustee shall control and my corporate trustee shall not be liable for any action taken as a result of the decision. It is my intention that my individual trustee shall control all decisions governing my quality of life, my care and comfort.
'(b) My corporate trustee shall have custody of cash and securities in the trust and be responsible for their safekeeping. My corporate trustee shall also maintain books and records for the trust, submit periodic financial statements to my individual trustee and trust beneficiaries, receive and deposit payments to the trust, and distribute trust funds without the signature of my individual trustee. However, except for routine distributions, my corporate trustee shall distribute trust funds only with prior approval of my individual trustee.
'(c) My corporate trustee may hold securities and other property in its name or in the name of a nominee. No person dealing with my corporate trustee shall be required to verify that my individual trustee has approved of any action.
'(d) My individual trustee may delegate or revoke the delegation of any trustee powers to my corporate trustee at any time. Any delegation or revocation shall be in writing and delivered to my corporate trustee.'
D. Duties of the Trustee
As we discussed in the introduction, historically, trusts were created to preserve assets and maximize the inheritance and ultimate distribution to the beneficiaries. As a result, many of the duties of the trustee are founded upon the principals of assets preservation and growth.
One of the duties created to facilitate these purposes is the duty to make the trust property productive. The trustee is under a duty to the beneficiary to use reasonable care and skill to make the trust property productive. Restatement (Second) of Trusts, Section 181 (1959). Hull v. Heimrich, 138 Or. 117, 3 P.2d 758, 6 P.2d 41 (1931).
Also ORS 128.057, dealing with investments by fiduciaries, focuses upon the 'permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable income as well as the probable safety of their capital.'
With respect to land, the trustee is normally under a duty to lease it or to manage it so that it will produce income. Personal possessions ordinarily must be sold or leased. Restatement (Second) of Trusts, Section 181, Comment a. and b. (1959).
This power is subject, however, to the terms of the trust and the intent of the settlor. The Restatement (Second) of Trusts, Section 181, Comment a. provides:
'By the terms of the trust, however, it may be his (the trustee´s) duty to give possession of the land to the beneficiary. It may be the duty of the trustee merely to hold the land without making it productive.'
The client´s home, property and personal possessions often are more important to the client than any other concern. Many clients want the assurance that if they become incapacitated, they will not lose their home, and that their personal things will not be sold or given away. However, such a request is often directly contrary to the general duty to make property productive and must be specifically drafted.
Drafting Option 1: Personal Effects
'The trustee may, as the trustee deems advisable, withhold from sale or reinvestment any tangible personal property and may distribute the same to the beneficiaries of the trust created herein irrespective of age and without intervention of a Conservator, at such times and in such manner as the trustee deems advisable.'
Drafting Option 2: Occupancy of Residence
'If I occupy any property of the trust estate as a residence, a second residence, or a vacation home, I shall be permitted to occupy or use them rent free. The trustee shall have no obligation to consider sale of these properties or their contents to make them income-producing assets during such occupancy unless I require the trustee to make such property productive. The trustee shall pay all expenses relating thereto, including, but not limited to, taxes, mortgage or contract payments, insurance premiums, and maintenance costs.'
(Drafting options 1 and 2 were developed by David N. Andrews, Attorney at Law, Eugene, Or., as part of his materials entitled Protective Drafting: How to Stay Out of Trouble, OSB CLE USING TRUSTS FOR ESTATE PLANNING, February 20, 1992.)
Drafting Option 3: Maintenance of Residence
'The trustee shall not sell nor liquidate my residence even if I am not able to live in my home. The trustee is further authorized to use trust funds to continue the maintenance of my residence while I am away.'
Drafting Option 4: Personal Possessions
'The trustee shall not dispose of my tangible personal property unless I give the trustee written permission to do so. The trustee is authorized to use trust funds, if necessary, to store, package or otherwise protect and preserve my tangible personal property.'
Drafting Option 5: Personal Possessions
'The trustee shall give to me any item of tangible personal property that I request. This provision shall be effective whether or not I have been determined incapacitated as set forth in this trust. The trustee shall not be liable for protection of any items that I have requested and which the trustee has given to me.'
E. Distribution to the Beneficiary
As discussed above, when the settlor/beneficiary become incapacitated, his/her (often unlimited) right to demand distributions from the trust ceases. Most often, it is replaced by very general language providing for the 'support, maintenance and education of the beneficiary.'
The Restatement (Second) of Trusts, Section 128, Comment d. Discretionary trusts (1959) states:
'By the terms of the trust it may be provided that the trustee shall pay to or apply for a beneficiary only so much of the income and principal or either as the trustee in his discretion shall see fit to pay or apply. In such a case it depends upon the manifestation of intention of the settlor to what extent the trustee has discretion to refuse to make such payment or application. If the settlor manifests an intention that the discretion of the trustee shall be uncontrolled, the beneficiary cannot compel the trustee to make any payment to him or application for his benefit, ...' (Emphasis added.)
In addition, the Restatement (Second) of Trusts, Section 128, Comment e. Trust for Support (1959) states:
'By the terms of the trust it may be provided that the trustee shall pay or apply only so much of the income and principal or either as is necessary for the education or support of a beneficiary. In such a case the beneficiary cannot compel the trustee to pay to him or to apply for his benefit more than the trustee in the exercise of a sound discretion deems necessary for his education or support.' (Emphasis added.)
Also see Swigert v. Straub/Dept. of Revenue, 9 Or. App. 75, 494 P.2d 888 (1972).
It is also common to see a provision requiring the trustee to 'take into consideration any other income or support received, or property possessed, by the beneficiary,' when making determinations about income or principal distributions.
The Oregon Court of Appeals has held that this language gives 'great latitude to the trustee, not to the lifetime beneficiary to determine what sums as necessary and advisable.' Barnard v. U.S. National Bank of Oregon, 8 Or. App. 608, 495 P.2d 766 (1972).
It is therefore very important that you discuss with your client the nature and extent of the distributions to the beneficiary and the extent of the trustee´s discretion.
It may be necessary to specifically direct the trustee, as opposed to allowing the trustee 'absolute discretion.' Without specific directions, the trustee´s discretions may take precedence to your client wishes and desires.
Drafting Options 1: Distributions upon Incapacity
'The trustee shall pay to or apply for my benefit as much of the income and principal of the trust as I direct or as is necessary (optional: in the trustees discretion) for my health, medical care, support, maintenance, comfort and welfare, in accordance with my accustomed manner of living. It is my intention that my quality of life, as much as is possible, not change and that my trustee shall maintain my quality of life in as good or better condition than existed prior to my incapacity.
'My trustee is instructed to exercise in a liberal manner my trustee´s power to make distributions for this purpose. The rights of other trust beneficiaries shall be secondary to my rights as a trust beneficiary.'
Drafting Options 2: Distribution for Support
' My trustee shall (optional: in the trustees discretion) do all acts necessary for maintaining my customary standard of living, to provide living quarters by purchase, lease or other arrangement, or by payment of the operating costs of my existing living quarters, to provide domestic help for the operations of my household, to provide clothing, transportation, medicine, food and incidentals, and if necessary to make arrangements for me in a hospital or other medical facility, but with the first priority being care in my own residence; and to assure that all of my needs and comforts are provided for at such facility or in my own residence, as the case may be.'
For more information about Trust Distribution Language and Trustee Powers, see S. Kantor, USING TRUSTS IN ESTATE PLANNING, Chapter 1, OSB CLE February 1992; D. Andrews, USING TRUSTS IN ESTATE PLANNING, Chapter 7, OSB CLE February 1992; C. Barrett, REVOCABLE LIVING TRUSTS: Drafting and Problem-solving, Chapter 6, OSB CLE September 1993; W. Fitzwater, REVOCABLE LIVING TRUSTS: Drafting and Problem-solving, Chapter 2, OSB CLE September 1993.
(Excerpt from W. Fitzwater, Planning for the Incapacitated or Disabled Family Member, OSB CLE BASIC ESTATE PLANNING, May 6, 1994.)
When is a client or client´s family member no longer capable of making decisions for themselves? I have yet to find a more difficult question to answer or a more difficult decision for a family to make.
Legally, the issue is one of 'capacity.' ORS 126.003 defines an 'incapacitated person' as one whose:
'ability to receive and evaluate information effectively or communicate decisions is impaired to such an extent that the person presently lacks the capacity to meet the essential requirement for the person´s physical health or safety or to manage the person´s financial resources.
´Meeting the essential requirement for physical health and safety´ means those actions necessary to provide the health care, food, shelter, clothing, personal hygiene and other care without which serious physical injury or illness is likely to occur.
´Manage financial resources´ means those actions necessary to obtain, administer and dispose of real and personal property, intangible property, business property, benefits and income.' (Emphasis added.)
Incapacitated persons who are unable to make decisions about their health and safety may require a court-appointed guardian. An inability to manage financial resources may require the appointment of a conservator. In both instances, the rights and the decision-making abilities of the person are substantially reduced.
Supreme Court Justice Douglas once said that we all have the 'right to folly.' Put another way, we all have the right to make the wrong decisions. The issue, therefore, is not whether we have made the wrong decision, but with what capacity the decision was made.
For example, is bouncing a few checks - evidence of incapacity. Probably not (if it is, we may all be in trouble). On the other hand, overdrafts for the past few months, together with an increased history of unpaid bills, misplaced funds, unexplained gifts, susceptibility to influence and related problems may be evidence of an 'inability to manage financial resources.'
Except for the language of the statute, there are no clear rules for determining capacity. Each case must be evaluated independently. The court places weight in the opinions of doctors, psychologists, public social workers, private case managers, family and friends (in my opinion - in that order). The court (or the court visitor) will attempt to contact all relevant parties to get an overall picture of the individual´s capacity.
PRACTICE NOTE: A medical diagnosis of dementia (ie. Alzheimer´s, organic brain syndrome, etc.) does not, in and of itself, constitute a legal finding of incapacity. Until a court determines, as a matter of law, that the individual is incapacitated, that person retains all of their rights and their decision-making abilities. They continue to have the 'right to make the wrong decision.' This includes the right to refuse assistance, case management, placement, medical treatment and other forms of help. Until a finding of incapacity, the only hope is to convince the person to make the 'right decision.'

'DHARMA AND KARMA' are the two important aspects of life.If you understand your dharma and know your karma,you can find the ultimate peace.This is 'KALYUG' which means century of incredible sins.Anything can happen in this 'YUG'.Your eyes can deceive you.What you see can be the incredible deception.Who knows that one who visits temples and pilgrimages often is a pious.May be he/she is a flesh eater.May be he/she is the owner of a meat shop.May be he/she tortures his/her parents for happiness and money.Anything that you can't imagine can be his/her true nature.Even ask yourself.Are you a pious?If yes,then are you vicious or virtuous?Even I can't tell about this.This is known by you only.To be a pious is your 'DHARMA'.What about your 'KARMA'?Are they virtuous?Suppose you are the owner of a meat shop.Someone asks you that you are pure vegetarian,a pious and a generous too.Then why are you on the path of sin?Why do you run a meatshop market beside your home?Truly speaking,your answer would be that I am virtuous,this is my dharma but I am an owner of a meat shop,this is my karma.There is nothing wrong.
According to Gita,supporting 'PAAP' is a dangerous sin.
Even if you don't eat flesh but sell fleshes of animals,this comes under 'BURE KARMA'.You can't run away from this axiom.Merely calling this(running a meat shop) as your karma willn't hide your sin.You can't find peace in your life, if you consider this as your karma.A vicious can never be a 'DHARMI',he/she is 'ADHARMI'.He/she is a real follower of the sin.This shouldn't be your karma.This path willn't lead you to 'MOKSHA'.You will wander forever for real peace.There is a great need still to understand your karma.In Mahabharata,we know that Karna was the perfect 'DHARMI'.He was the only one who knew everything about 'KARMA','DHARMA','PUNAYA' and 'LAKSHAYA'.Still he misjudged his perfect 'KARMA' somewhere.He thought that he is at the side of adharmi Duryodhana only because of debt(RINH).To support his good and bad deeds is his only true dharma.No doubt he(KARNA) was right,but still he was supporting the 'ADHARMI'.This karma brought disaster in his life and he had to face the defeat in 'RANHBHOOMI' for this karma.
Knowing about your innerself is mandatory.You should know your DHARMA and KARMA that can lead you to 'MUKTI'.Always support the nature if you want to win the real game of life.Your karma should be sin free and your dharma should be to always support the nature.
