Rated 5 out of 5 by Gogreenga Perfect The chairs are gorgeous to look at from any angle, front, back, or side. Super stable as well as substantial. The Onyx color goes well with our wrought iron fencing and the 'British Classic' style flows from our dining room out to the courtyard where these are sitting. I looked at all price ranges for outdoor furniture that would flow with our interior furniture. These were worth the wait (while I shopped) and the money, although not the most expensive, certainly the best look and feel! July 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by eves great purchase these chairs are beautiful and very well built. i could not be more pleased with them August 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by bettyjo37 patio chairs These chairs were great except they did not match the color of the oil rubbed bronze of our existing patio furniture. So, I did not accept the chairs because of this issue. It was difficult to tell the exact color of the chairs from looking online. The style of the chair was great, it was just the color of the chairs. July 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by 4boys Don't Use Near Salt Water I purchased the dining set as well as the sofa, lounge chairs and two chaises for a beach house. It is well made and comfortable but the finish has corroded due to salt water and we store them indoors 9 months of the year. They are not good near salt water and the manufacturer does not stand behind them. Frontgate was great trying to get this resolved but the manufacture offered no solutions to the problem. Somewhat disgraceful given the price. July 12, 2014

The Facts About Bankruptcy in the United States
The following bankruptcy information was taken from the federal bankruptcy law. Springboard Nonprofit Credit Management does not offer legal advice; the bankruptcy information on this page is offered for informative purposes only. We strongly recommend you seek professional legal advice if you decided to file for bankruptcy.
For more information about the United States Bankruptcy Chapters, click the boxes below to reveal more information and basic facts about bankruptcy:
Chapter 7 is designed for debtors in financial difficulty who do not have the ability to pay their existing debts. Debtors whose debts are primarily consumer debts are subject to a "means test" designed to determine whether the case should be permitted to proceed under chapter 7. If your income is greater than the median income for your state of residence and family size, in some cases, creditors have the right to file a motion requesting that the court dismiss your case under 707(b) of the Code. It is up to the court to decide whether the case should be dismissed.
Under chapter 7, you may claim certain of your property as exempt under governing law. A trustee may have the right to take possession of and sell the remaining property that is not exempt and use the sale proceeds to pay your creditors.
The purpose of filing a chapter 7 case is to obtain a discharge of your existing debts. If, however, you are found to have committed certain kinds of improper conduct described in the Bankruptcy Code, the court may deny your discharge and, if it does, the purpose for which you filed the bankruptcy petition will be defeated.
Even if you receive a general discharge, some particular debts are not discharged under the law. Therefore, you may still be responsible for most taxes and student loans; debts incurred to pay non-dischargeable taxes; domestic support and property settlement obligations; most fines, penalties, forfeitures, and criminal restitution obligations; certain debts which are not properly listed in your bankruptcy papers; and debts for death or personal injury caused by operating a motor vehicle, vessel, or aircraft while intoxicated from alcohol or drugs. Also, if a creditor can prove that a debt arose from fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, or theft, or from a willful and malicious injury, the bankruptcy court may determine that the debt is not discharged.
Liquidation Fee: $299.
Springboard's Fee: To obtain your pre-petition counseling from Springboard, the fee is $55.00 by telephone or in person, and $45.00 by Internet. This is required if you plan to file a chapter 7. Click here to learn more or call Springboard at 1-888-425-3453 to speak to a counselor or schedule an appointment.
Chapter 13 is designed for individuals with regular income who would like to pay all or part of their debts in installments over a period of time. You are only eligible for chapter 13 if your debts do not exceed certain dollar amounts set forth in the Bankruptcy Code.
Under chapter 13, you must file with the court a plan to repay your creditors all or part of the money that you owe them, using your future earnings. The period allowed by the court to repay your debts may be three years or five years, depending upon your income and other factors. The court must approve your plan before it can take effect.
After completing the payments under your plan, your debts are generally discharged except for domestic support obligations; most student loans; certain taxes; most criminal fines and restitution obligations; certain debts which are not properly listed in your bankruptcy papers; certain debts for acts that caused death or personal injury; and certain long term secured obligations.
Repayment of All or Part of the Debts of an Individual with Regular Income (total fee $189). Additional Fee: To obtain your pre-petition counseling from Springboard, the fee is $55.00 by telephone or in person, and $45.00 by Internet. This is required if you plan to file a chapter 13. Click here to learn more or call Springboard at 1-888-425-3453 to speak to a counselor or schedule an appointment.
Chapter 11 is designed for the reorganization of a business but is also available to consumer debtors. Its provisions are quite complicated, and any decision by an individual to file a chapter 11 petition should be reviewed with an attorney.
Reorganization Fee: $1000 filing fee, $39 administrative fee: Total fee $1039
Chapter 12 is designed to permit family farmers and fishermen to repay their debts over a period of time from future earnings and is similar to chapter 13. The eligibility requirements are restrictive, limiting its use to those whose income arises primarily from a family-owned farm or commercial fishing operation.
Family Farmer or Fisherman: $200 filing fee, $39 administrative fee: Total fee $239
Bankruptcy Crimes and Availability of Bankruptcy Papers to Law Enforcement Officials.
A person who knowingly and fraudulently conceals assets or makes a false oath or statement under penalty of perjury, either orally or in writing, in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both. All information supplied by a debtor in connection with a bankruptcy case is subject to examination by the Attorney General acting through the Office of the United States Trustee, the Office of the United States Attorney, and other components and employees of the Department of Justice.
WARNING: Section 521(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that you promptly file detailed information regarding your creditors, assets, liabilities, income, expenses and general financial condition. Your bankruptcy case may be dismissed if this information is not filed with the court within the time deadlines set by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the local rules of the court.

Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center - Houston, Texas
Meds Ease Depression in Parkinson's Patients without Worsening Other Symptoms
April 12, 2012
HOUSTON - Today's anti-depressant medications can ease depression in Parkinson's patients without worsening other symptoms of the disease, according to a study published online in Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
"Depression is the number-one factor negatively affecting the quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease," said Laura Marsh, M.D., Mental Health Care Line executive at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and a co-investigator in the study. "It causes a great deal of suffering among patients. The great news here is that it's treatable. And when the depression is treated adequately, many of the other symptoms become much more manageable for patients."
The findings are good news for patients with Parkinson's disease, a chronic neurologic disorder best known for causing slow movement, stiffness, balance problems and other motor difficulties. However, about half of Parkinson's patients also struggle with depression.
"It's very important to note that these patients are not depressed simply because they are dealing with a chronic neurological condition," said Marsh. "Rather, the depression is caused by the underlying disease process, which also causes problems with movement and balance."
While older medications known as tricyclics help treat depression in such patients, those drugs can have undesirable side effects. That led physicians to try newer antidepressant medications in Parkinson's patients. But recent smaller studies with these medications had mixed results, leaving some physicians to question whether these drugs were actually of any benefit. In addition, there was some concern that they might worsen patient's motor symptoms.
With funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the Study of Antidepressants in Parkinson's Disease included 115 people with Parkinson's disease at 20 sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. All the participants had Parkinson's disease and met the criteria for depression.
About one-third of the participants received paroxetine (brand name Paxil), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI); one-third received venlafaxine extended release (brand name Effexor), a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI); and one-third received a placebo.
On average, the people receiving paroxetine had a 59 percent improvement and those receiving venlafaxine had a 52 percent improvement in their depression severity scores, according to the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression. People who received the placebo had a 32 percent improvement. Three other depression rating scales showed similar results. The drugs were generally well tolerated and did not lead to any worsening in motor functioning.
Today, people are becoming more knowledgeable that depression is frequently part of the disease, said Marsh, who has witnessed striking improvement in many patients after effective treatment.
"After treatment for depression, patients and their families often see a dramatic difference in how they're feeling, within a few weeks or months. They have more interest in things. They have more energy; they're sleeping better. And generally, there is a great sense of relief and a huge burden has been lifted," said Marsh, who is listed as one of the best doctors in the nation in the field of psychiatry and is also a professor at the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and in the Department of Neurology at Baylor College of Medicine.
She added that sometimes it can be difficult to spot depression in patients, because some symptoms overlap with other symptoms of Parkinson's. For instance, Parkinson's patients will be less animated, their voice will be less expressive, and many will have sleep difficulties – but they may not be depressed. Careful diagnosis is crucial.
In addition to funding from NINDS, the study was supported by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Wyeth Pharmaceuticals provided venlafaxine XR and Glaxo-Smith Kline provided paroxetine.

Recent Research Developments
|Index of Recent Research News
|September 3, 2003
Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) is an anthracycline (Figure A) commonly used to treat several forms of cancer. Despite its effectiveness believed to be the result of stabilization effect on topoisomerase-DNA complexes found in the nucleus of the cell, doxorubicin accumulates in other subcellular regions where it may become cytotoxic. In fact, accumulation of doxorubicin in mitochondria has been linked to cardiomyopathies. Until now, the only analytical techniques to study doxorubicin (and its analogues) have been based on fluorescence microscopy. Although these techniques are effective to confirm localization of doxorubicin in the nucleus, they are not adequate to study doxorubicin localization in mitochondria (Figure B).
Our group has used capillary electrophoresis with post-column laser-induced dual fluorescence detection to detect accumulation of doxorubicin in individual mitochondria. Using this approach, we simultaneously detect fluorescence emitted by a mitochondrion-selective marker (Mitotracker Green, Figure A) and doxorubicin contained within a given organelle. Figure C displays a dual electrpherogram (fluorescence intensity versus time) where each detected mitochondrion produces a 'spike' in the green detector (535 nm) and each organelle containing doxorubicin produces a 'spike' in the red detector (635 nm).
When this approach was used to investigate the relative abundance of doxorubicin in mitochondria of both drug sensitive (CCL-119) and resistant (CEM/C2) leukemia cell lines (Figure B), it was found that doxorubicin accumulates similarly in the mitochondria of both cell lines. On the other hand, a surprising finding was that only one third of mitochondria are effectively accumulating doxorubicin. This observation poses several questions relevant to the subcellular distribution of doxorubicin and challenges the dogma that all the mitochondria in a cell are responsible for the same biological function.

Razorfish was invited to pitch a new, retail-centric experience for Delta Air Lines, to completely reimagine what their site experience could be and, in the process, create new territories for their business to grow.
Over the course of two years, we worked hand-in-hand with senior leadership to create a shared vision for the new Delta Air Lines in digital, and the resulting new site, suite of mobile and tablet-based apps, and various touch experiences have helped to establish Delta as the industry leader in digital integration across the globe.
How does a big brand with public perception challenges start an authentic, meaningful conversation with it's audience? By having real, authentic conversations with it's audience.
In announcing the creation of a new online community for small business owners, the Business Circle, we felt it was important to share real stories of business owners already out there, chasing down their dreams and using technology to overcome obstacles daily. We found 5 great business owners and spent 3 weeks putting together their stories to share with others, and kicked off the exciting adventure of building a community of like-minded dreamers and doers.
Here are the first of many great stories to come.
To immerse VIP guests of Delta at Madison Square Garden, we created a personalized way for them to discover new destinations, with curated content from around the globe and fantastic vistas from exotic locations.
The whole world literally becomes a playground of photos and phrases, connecting you with a host of destination recommendations. In each lush destination you find intriguing factoids, quotes, photos and video. Each time you add new phrases, more recommendations appear.
When you're done exploring, just scan a QR code and all the destinations you visited are delivered to your smartphone for reminiscing or booking. You can share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, or Foursquare.
Last year, I was fortunate to be part of a global concepting team coming up with ideas to help launch the new Mercedes CLA in the US market. I quickly assembled a small team in my office to generate ideas and took an even smaller team up to NY to work with our global leads in putting the ideas together.
At the end of the day, we had 5 great ideas that were bought as part of a phased launch plan by Mercedes-USA, including my idea to put the CLA in the hands of ingenious web auteur Casey Neistat. Casey did what Casey does, and the results were stellar in terms of getting exposure for a brand that's typically perceived as staid and for older folks in front of a new, younger audience.
REI asked for a new way to get people excited about the upcoming Snowsports season, something different. So we said, why not commission 10 up-and-coming bands, like Eagles of Death Metal, The Apples in Stereo, Robbers on High Street, The Rentals, and more, to do original songs inspired by snowsports, make music videos and cool wallpapers, and put it all in a cool 3D interface.....oh yeah, and they're all FREE TO DOWNLOAD!
Update: 2009 Addy Award winner - Interactive Campaign
Challenge: Create an engaging experience that immerses store guests in the Delta brand, builds brand preference, and gets them excited about flying Delta.
Truth: Travelers get excited about where they're going, not how they're getting there.
Idea: Let's make it exciting for our best customers to dive into beautiful destinations, learn about them in a fun, memorable way, and get excited about traveling.
Experience: We created an open-ended experience that put the user in control. First users choose the type of mood they are looking for on their next getaway. From there they select from a variety of mood-based tiles that, when put together, provide a range of destination possibilities. The result is a beautiful graphic montage and photography that transports the imagination.
To extend the experience beyond the store, users are prompted to use their mobile device to snap a pic of a QR tag associated with each destination that allows them to explore additional destination info, video and travel packages.
Update: 2011 AIGA SEED Award winner - Interactive Best of Show
For REI's Spring Cycling campaign, we produced a video story called "The Cycle", which features three heroes going through their daily routine, sharing the same bike as they get things done in a fun way. At key points in their journey, a lower-third overlay featuring products they were using would pop-up and give viewers the chance to learn more about them.
I helped lead the creation of the ING Your Number campaign, a multi-channel campaign built around the idea that we all have a number we need to hit to retire comfortably, and ING can help make that easier.
Both of the actors have interesting backstories; one was on NYPD Blue and the other has a very famous Hollywood dad. See if you can guess who.
Update: this campaign won 3 MIXX Awards from the IAB in New York, the second most awards at the show.
Update 2: 2009 Gold Addy Award winner - Interactive Campaign
Update 3: 2010 Effie Award winner
REI asked us to do an intro video for their Active Family Video Contest to let participants know how to participate, and do so in a way that would encourage them to use their own creativity in their videos. So we proposed a fun stop-motion piece, with a very handmade feel, to embody the good vibe of the REI brand as well as communicate the process for participation.
We also designed a flash module for their YouTube page covering the process and prizes in more detail. It was a fun project to direct, and we hope that outdoor folk of all bents will find it inspiring.
Music videos concepted as part of the REI GoPlaylist campaign, Winter 2008-2009. Ten bands, ten original songs inspired by snowsports, nine custom music videos to go with them, all done by a small in-house team.

I just got around to reading the October editor's letter and this is part of the reason I have not yet renewed by subscription. Your observations about the public's treatment of women were insightful and stupid all at the same time. It is a very valid point that people like to label women with one category or another and we all are faced with those challenges, but it so hard to be sympathetic when you use the "snippy concierge in Milan was rude to me" story. You poor baby. Are you so out of touch that you couldn't think of an example where this beauty vs. brains problem impacts women's lives, jobs, relationships in a significant and usually tragic way? And just wait, as you age and your beauty gets further and further away from societies ideal this problem changes to another one. You will be ignored on all levels, no longer considered beautiful or brainy. Your own magazine adds to the mix by constantly featuring women who have "just" made it past forty. It is like you can't wait for some celebrity to reach the magic number so you can flaunt them while consistently ignoring women at fifty, sixty or seventy.
You're in good company along with T.V., movies, media, print, government, and business. Take just one area, TV, and name one positive role model of women over the age of fifty-five or sixty. Maybe you only want to appeal to a forty year old and if that is true congratulations you have succeeded. I feel I have outgrown your magazine and unfortunately there are no fashion and lifestyle mags for my age group which is why you can go to any mall in America and see a sea of women who have given up and walk around in their velour running suits and comfort walking shoes. No one designs for this age. No one champions the brains of this age group.
Oh, by the way I am fifty-eight and plan on being the sharpest, beauty wise and brain wise, woman in the nursing home!
--Debbie Gallo
I am responding to this article as it was brought to my attention by a co-worker who reads the magazine. In some aspects I do agree with some of the claims the author makes. However, when I think about people who do not have the education background enough to think about this topic for themselves and they then read this, I get upset as they now think it is ok to be overweight. As a professional in the field, I am more than qualified to say that is the association they make when they read those statements and it is not ok. It doesn't make them a bad person however it is very irresponsible to give misleading information when we have a country that is dealing with a major health problem on more than one front. All related to excess weight!

What: Shares of Sangamo Biosciences (NASDAQ:SGMO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing zinc-finger DNA-binding proteins to alter genes, fell as much as 11% after reporting first-quarter earnings results after the closing bell last night.
So what: For the quarter, Sangamo reported a 76% increase in revenue, hitting $8.1 million, driven by collaborative revenue derived from three agreements. Net loss, however, widened slightly to $7.6 million, or $0.12 per share -- from $6.9 million, or $0.13 per share, in the prior-year period -- as research and development expenses jumped to $12 million from $8.2 million. Comparatively speaking, Sangamo was only expected to produce $7 million in revenue and a loss of $0.13 per share. The company also guided full-year revenue to $45 million-$50 million, which is in line with estimates.
Now what: With the company's results more or less in line with or above estimates, you're probably wondering what has investors so down. The culprit appears to be a wider net loss (Sangamo had more shares outstanding this quarter) and merely in-line full-year revenue estimates when investors were clearly expecting more. To me, Sangamo's revenue estimates are decent given that it comes entirely from collaborative revenue. However, following such a huge run higher, investors would also like to see demonstrable progress with the company's clinical pipeline, since amortized revenue won't last forever. I consider Sangamo's proprietary technology intriguing, and I have it on my own watchlist on that accord alone; but as an investment I'd suggest sticking to the sidelines until we have considerably more concrete later-stage data to wrap our hands around.
Sangamo shares have soared over the past year, but even it could struggle to keep pace with this top stock over the long run

Does Slendertone Work?
Toning and firming of your midsection doesn't have to consist of spending hour after hour in the gym pounding out crunch after crunch or sit-up after sit-up. There are easier ways to achieve a slim, fit-looking abdomen. One way that many men and women are employing right now to give them the waistline they've always wanted but without the hard work is by using the Slendertone Ab Belt.
So How Does Slendertone Work?
Basically, the Slendertone is an abdominal training belt that works by causing your abs muscles to contract and relax by sending a tiny electrical signal to them. The process that makes this work is known as Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). EMS has been used for many years in the physical therapy professions to treat stimulate muscles in people who were undergoing rehabilitation. This technology is now utilized in the slendertone ab belt. To use the Slendertone abs system the user simply straps the belt around the waist, attaches the special pads through which the electrical signals pass, and switches the belt on. The Slendertone does all the hard work as all you have to do is wear it regularly, preferably each day for a short time, and results should be seen within six weeks. In fact, the manufacturers say that 20 minutes a day using the Slendertone is equivalent to doing 120 regular crunches.
What's Included In The Slendertone Abs System?
When you buy the Slendertone abs program you receive everything you need to get started toning your abdominals. Included in the package is the Slendertone belt and three gel pads. Also included is a set of batteries to get you under way.
Does Slendertone Work?
The Slendertone abs system has been around for some time now and has users scattered around the world. We have seen comments from many people who have used the system and in general these have been favorably inclined towards the product. Many users, both men and women, reported a reduction in their waist size and an improvement in the look and feel of their abs muscles. The average loss is reported as being around 1.4 inches from the middle.
One feature of the Slendertone abs system that is useful for those who haven't done any type of exercise for a while, is that there are seven programs built-in to the belt and there are 99 resistance levels to choose from. This enables both the exercise rookie and the more advanced trainer to obtain benefits from using the belt and should give it more chance to work. Another factor which most people tend to overlook is that trying to tone the mid-section by conventional exercises such as sit-ups and crunches is difficult and it's hard to stay motivated. When it's possible to achieve similar results with a minimum of effort then you're more likely to keep doing whatever it is that is giving you those results. This is yet another advantage that the Slendertone has over normal exercise.
Results will vary from person to person, of course, as they will for any kind of exercise or weight loss program, and, at the end of the day, only you can answer the question, "Does Slendertone Work?" as it applies to you. Judging by the great number of positive reports from satisfied users, however, we would say that it does seem to have worked for them so there's every possibility that it will do the same for you. Why not give it a try?

Is there an existent proof for this? It would be an important step to proving the conjecture in any case.

Write the initial odd number in binary notation. The binary representation ends with a number of
When the carries have settled you find that this next step has one less digit
at which point two consecutive halvings will happen.
(This could all have been written in a more mathematically dignified form by observing that for every $n\in\mathbb N$ there is exactly one $k\ge 0$ such that $n\equiv 2^k-1 \pmod{2^{k+1}}$. If $k>0$, then the next step in the sequence will be $2^{k+1}+2^k-2\equiv 2(2^{k-1}-1) \pmod{2^k+1}$ and the one after that is $2^{k-1}-1\pmod{2^k}$ -- in other words the two steps have made $k$ decrease by one. But that is not as instructive a way to phrase it, I think).
This argument also implies that the ratio between the starting number and maximum number in the sequence can be arbitrarily large.
Start with the odd number $a_1$. Let $e$ be the largest exponent such that $a_1\equiv -1\pmod{2^e}$. Then $a_1\equiv 2^e-1\pmod{2^{e+1}}$. We prove the result by induction on $e$.
If $e=1$, then $a_1\equiv 1\pmod{4}$. It follows that $3a_1+1\equiv 0\pmod{4}$, so we immediately get two consecutive evens.
For the induction step, suppose the result holds when $e=k-1$. We show that the result holds for $e=k$. So suppose that $a_1\equiv 2^{k}-1 \pmod{2^{k+1}}$.
After one round of the $3n+1$ process, we reach $a_2$, where $$a_2\equiv 3(2^k-1)+1\equiv 2^k-2\pmod{2^{k+1}}.$$ After the division by $2$, we get $a_3$, where $$a_3\equiv 2^{k-1}-1 \pmod{2^k}.$$ By the induction hypothesis, the Collatz sequence that starts with $a_3$ contains two consecutive evens, and hence so does the Collatz sequence that starts with $a_1$.

How Much Can You Save with Green Remodeling Tax Credits?
From Dean Dowd on April 22, 2011 in Green Remodeling
Happy Earth Day, folks! In honor of the 41st anniversary of this greenest of holidays, I'd like to share a breakdown on energy-saving home improvements, and the federal tax incentives that make them affordable.
Indeed, remodeling tax info looks complicated on the surface. But fear not! I'm going to help you take advantage of every federal tax break available before they expire. Let's get started.
Tax Credits for Basic Home Improvements
Some federal incentives have ended for 2010, some have been extended through 2011, and certain credits last all the way to 2016. Many of these projects are also pretty standard for home upkeep. Things like installing new windows, insulation, and a better air conditioning or heating system all qualify for federal tax credits. For upgrades made in 2010, you can get $1,500 back, or 30% on the first $5,000 spent. For improvements in 2011, the credit decreases to $500, or 10% of the first $5,000 you spend. This requires IRS form 5696 and receipts from your purchases.
State rebates may also be available. Find out what improvements cost in your area by clicking here.
These credits will be available in most cases until 2016, and most apply to both first and second homes. In the Non-Business Energy Property Credit, the overall credit caps at $500 for approved energy-efficient improvements, but within that blanket cap, certain green remodeling projects have their own caps, such as more efficient windows and doors, better insulation, and roof improvements.
Homeowners can still deduct 10% of the purchase price of materials, but the cap is set at $200 for these types of deductions. Certain appliances, however, such as an upgraded hot water heater or an energy-efficient heating and cooling system, can earn a $300 tax credit.
Solar Panels, Wind Turbines and Geothermal Rebates
The second green tax break for homeowners is a big one. The Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit is a 30% credit off the cost of clean energy systems, including home solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal, and fuel cell systems. There is no cap on this credit, and installation and labor charges are also included in the credit, except for fuel cell upgrades.
To qualify for the credits, homeowners would be wise to get estimates quickly before they expire, and to investigate what rebate programs currently exist in their state.
Important Information on Green Tax Credits
Keep in mind that for any green home improvements, you should do careful research to verify a manufacturer's tax credit certification statement before purchase and installation of certain appliances or energy technology systems. When it comes to replacement windows and HVAC, only certain Energy Star products and appliances are approved for qualification. Other eligible home improvements include certain window films, duct sealants, pigmented metal roofs, and asphalt roofs with cooling granules.
New additions to the tax credit plan are biomass stoves and ground-source or geothermal heat pumps. A solid source for more information is the Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP) website, and the Department of Energy offers a helpline, at 1-800-dial-DOE, for consumers with questions about green tax incentives.
Most states have their own incentive programs in place, but with many states experiencing severe budget shortages, much of what was previously available in rebate programs has been reduced or cut completely.
In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax Act was put forth to stimulate energy efficiency practices in the green economy with expansion of existing home energy credits, which directly increase refunds or reduce a total tax bill.

Searching for snails on a cold day
Back in November when we had our the day after Thanksgiving field trip in the Hoyles Mill Conservation Park, I flagged the locations of 5 dormant and buried Anguispira fergusoni. Yesterday, I went back to check on them.
It was a cold day; the temperature was hovering around freezing. All the small creeks running thru the park were frozen over.
Luckily I had a stable GPS signal and the coordinates measured in November also turned out to be quite accurate and so I didn't have any trouble locating the dead tree where the snails were. All of my 5 little yellow flags marking the exact locations of the buried snails were still standing.
However, I hadn't taken into account one possible complicating factor, that the soil would be frozen. It indeed was and although I could have dug into it—the snails were not very deep—I decided not to do anything forceful lest I broke the snails' shells during the operation.
According to Riddle (1981), Anguispira alternata avoids freezing of its tissues by undergoing supercooling almost down to -16 °C. Hopefully, my snails are doing the same where I left them in November. I will go back there during a warmer period.
Otherwise, it was a good trip that netted a deer skull.
Final post of this series is here.

College Hockey:Bowling Green Edges Out Michigan State
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — An evenly played hockey game came out in favor of the Bowling Green Falcons on Saturday night, as they downed the Michigan State Spartans 4-2 in front of 2,323 fans at the BG Ice Arena.
The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for Bowling Green. With the loss, the Spartans are now winless in nine of their last ten games.
The Falcons used a balanced scoring attack to gain the victory. Eleven different players combined to put points in the scoring column for BG.
"A lot of the guys chipped in, and more importantly, a lot of the guys played extremely well," said BG head coach Scott Paluch. "We rolled four (lines) all the way through to the last three minutes of the game, and that was real big for us. We were never in a situation where we had to shorten the bench."
The Falcons put together one of their best efforts of the season, playing a complete game from beginning to end.
"From the first minute all the way through to the 60th minute, I thought we were solid. Everybody was contributing," said Paluch. "It was an evenly contested game. I think both teams competed hard for loose pucks and fought hard for space. I think the only difference was we were able to score some goals, especially early, which gave a lift to our team. We got important goals when we needed them."
Jimmy Spratt, freshman goaltender for Bowling Green, put together a solid performance against the team from East Lansing, Michigan. He stopped 22 of 24 shots on goal to earn his third win of the year.
Despite the evenly played contest, two key components of the MSU squad–forward Drew Miller and defensemen Jared Nightingale–were inactive for the game because of injury and illness, hurting the Spartans.
"They're both big losses," said MSU head coach Rick Comley of his two missing players. "They're both good players. It was just not a good enough lineup tonight, and too many pucks went in too easy."
Bowling Green jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the 4:06 mark of the opening period. BG's Brian Bales won the draw on a face off deep in MSU territory. He slid the puck to Ryan Barnett, who fired a shot on MSU goaltender Dominic Vicari. The rebound came out to junior winger Rich Meloche between the circles. He found Vicari's five-hole for his second goal of the season.
The Spartans tied the game just over one minute later on a power play goal. After a Michael Hodgson hooking call, defensemen Tyler Howells blasted a shot from the point just six seconds into the power play, lighting the lamp for his sixth goal of the year. Colton Fretter and Brian Lerg assisted on the goal.
James Unger scored the next goal for the Falcons, the goal coming on a power play. Unger picked up the puck at center ice, skated past two defenders, then crashed the net, the puck crossing the goal line just prior to the net coming off the moorings. After a brief review with the goal judge, the goal was allowed to stand. Alex Foster assisted on the play, which came at 6:20 of the second period.
Shortly thereafter, the Spartans seemed to tie the game on a goal that was a near carbon copy of the Unger goal. However, the goal was disallowed because the net had come off the moorings prior to the puck crossing the goal line.
Comley was unhappy with the referee's decision to wave the goal off.
"There are two goals scored the same way," explained Comley. "And if you're not going to count one, don't count the other."
Lerg tied the game for the Spartans at 9:27 of the period on a power-play goal of his own. Skating through traffic, he found a wide open net, as Spratt had been taken out of the play by one of his own defenders. For Lerg, it was his sixth goal of the season, and Lerg was assisted by Howells and Fretter.
Brett Pilkington scored the game winner for the Falcons at 14:23. Vicari blocked a Derek Whitmore shot from in front of the net, but the rebound went high in the air. Pilkington swatted at the puck, and it found the net for his third tally of the year. Kevin Schmidt also assisted.
BG closed out the scoring at 7:22 of the third period. A giveaway at center ice led to a 2 on 1 for the Falcons' John Mazzei and Brandon Svendsen. Mazzei faked a pass, then backhanded a shot past the glove of Vicari for his third goal of the year.
The Falcons finished the night 1 for 5 on the power play, while the Spartans lit the lamp twice in five attempts with the man advantage.
Vicari took the loss for the Spartans. He made 24 saves on the night, dropping to 5-5-2 on the year.
The Falcons will play host to a pair of east coast teams next weekend, as Clarkson and St. Lawrence invade the Ice Arena on Friday and Saturday. Michigan State will head to Fairbanks next weekend in their final CCHA action of 2005.

This knit top and skirt were projects two and three from February. Aren't you terribly proud of me? I've made my goal for January and February and well, that makes me seriously happy. Not only that, but here you see that I've actually made an outfit! Now that takes skill, friends. Skill.
Let's talk the top first. McCall's 6513. I LOVE this top. I've got to make myself another one. I was so happy with the way it turned out. The idea to make a top like this sprung into my head from Kristin over at K-line. After her navy blue number I went out in search of the Vogue pattern she used and of course, found it sold out locally. I happened upon this McCall's number immediately after as I was flipping through the pattern books. Match made in heaven.
It's made from a stable heathery grey knit that I got from Yellow Bird. I get tons of compliments when I wear this top – even Mr. S likes it! In fact, he LOVES it. I could wear this thing everyday. Yup! I should have a pattern review up by the end of this week if you're interested in making it up yourself and would like to read a review. The pattern had a few quirks, no more than usual. But, you know.
Now for the skirt. The skirt was an experiment really. It's my own pattern draft and it's a gored little thing. I've been having serious accordian pleat skirt envy and though I know this is not an accordian pleated skirt, I was thinking of a way to have one made up in a natural fiber. If you don't know, accordian pleated skirts are usually synthetic – polyester, nylon, etc. – and many are chemically treated to hold a pleat and well, I don't have access to pre-pleated fabric, much less chemicals to hold pleats. Whatever. This baby is made from wool crepe – another purchase from Yellow Bird. By the way, have I ever mentioned that I adore wool crepe? Maybe not, but I do. It's such a gorgeous fabric in my humble opinion. I seriously think the world of it. So when I found it in this mustardy yellow color, I had to have it.
Again, this skirt is gored and then for added kicks I stitched a tuck down the center of each gore and pressed it to one side. I have to admit, the result is totally cool and reminds me so much of the 70's era. The color, style and drape give it that great retro vibe. It may not exactly be an accordian pleated skirt, but I'll still give it high marks as it turned out rather interesting. Dontcha think?
I thought I would try something new here too and give you all the link to the pattern or similar pattern used and a link to a similar fabric plus all the extras. I've seen this on style blogs and I love it! So if you have to have one of your own, here goes:
Knit Blouse – McCall's 6513 – similar cloth
Skirt – self drafted (similar pattern) – similar cloth
March is going to be seriously busy around here! I'm excited that I'll be participating in some sewing excitement around the blogsphere. Anyway, what's on your sewing table for March? I'm just about to finish up my version of the Darling Ranges dress. Think elephants. Navy. You know, the usual.
Kiss Kiss,

ASK MIKE: Could Dez Bryant still be a Miami Dolphin?
Keep the questions coming. I'll do my best to answer them as we count down to Thursday night:
Q: If Dez Bryant is on the board, do the Fins make the pick? Regardless of what you think of Marshall, he is a playmaker who works hard. He could be a "role model/mentor" for Bryant like Jake Reed and Cris Carter were for Randy Moss. JKC, Vancouver, Canada.
A: I'd be very surprised if the Dolphins took Bryant at No. 12. If they believed in his ability to hit the league running and become an immediate No. 1 target, I doubt they would have paid the king's ransom for Marshall, both in picks and cash. Need to look defense with first few picks now, even if the Dolphins trade down and Bryant is magically still there in the 20s.
Q: 1. Could the Dolphins have been so sneaky to dangle Jason Taylor in front of the NY Jets to have them go after Holmes [rather] than Marshall? If they did, I would be impressed. 2. Will Jason Taylor be a Dolphin next year? Dwight, Freehold, N.J.
A: Perhaps, but I'd say that's a stretch. The Denver Post reported the Jets were still in the bidding for Marshall, even after pursuing Jason Taylor, and were even willing to give up their first rounder (No. 29 overall) for the Beast. Contract terms could not be worked out, however, and the Dolphins got their man. As for part two of your question, I join pretty much all of South Florida in expressing my hope Taylor will return for a 13th season with the Dolphins. It's the right way for a great career to play out. The fact he STILL hasn't accepted the Jets' offer tells you something, but depending on the draft he still could wind up joining the team he most loves to hate.
Q: Mike – 2 questions. 1)Jeff Ireland mentioned in his [April 8] press conference about building on strengths is not a bad thing – do you think they might surprise and draft O-Line if there is a run on our need positions and we can't trade down [from] 12 if DWilliams, DBryant, SKindle, are all gone (say Bulaga or Iupati). 2) In the same press conference he mentioned not addressing JTaylor until after the draft. Did anyone ask about that thought process for JFerguson and CPennington? Robert, Los Angeles.
A: I know the Dolphins had Mike Iupati, the top-ranked guard in the draft, in for a much-dis=cussed visit a few weeks ago, but that was when it looked like they might be able to move Justin Smiley for fair value. Now that it appears Smiley will return – which would be great news for Dolphins fans and media members alike – I'd be shocked if the Dolphins took any offensive linemen until the third day of the draft, and even then probably not until round five or later. As for Ferg and Pennington and why their cases were different from Jason Taylor's, no, that specific question wasn't asked. But Tony Sparano made clear last month at the owners meetings in Orlando how much those two "Parcells Guys" are valued by this organization and why they were brought. Seems no matter what Jason Taylor achieves, no matter how much junk he puts up with, he will never truly be a Parcells Guy.
Q: Hey mike I guess that answers why we did not go after Holmes. Ha! Now that B. Marsh is here, what one player other than Henne is going to benefit the most from this trade? I think Bess will now become the best slot receiver in the league bar none! Your thoughts? James, Sumter, S.C.
A: Good call on Bess, but I'm going to go with Ronnie Brown (if he isn't traded). Teams won't be able to drop that strong safety into the box as often now that Marshall is here, so there should be more room to maneuver in the "second level" Ronnie has always seemed to struggle with.

At a fourth press conference, Mayor Michael Collins told Toledoans that no official test results would be available until 6 am Sunday morning. The mayor's comments mean that all Toledoans and outlying areas using water from the Toledo water plant should not use water from their taps for drinking the rest of Saturday night.
CNN reports some 400,000 people will go to sleep Saturday not knowing whether their drinking water is safe, as test results expected Saturday night weren't completed, and advisories won't change until Sunday morning at the earliest, said Heidi Griesmer, spokesperson for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
According to the newspaper The Blade, Mayor Collins has shipped a second sample of water to Cincinnati for examination by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Two other sites are also examining water samples from Toledo. A lab in Columbus is running tests on the water supply and a lab at the Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, MI is performing additional independent tests. Although some test results may be delivered to Mayor Collins tonight, the lab in Michigan will not have results until early tomorrow morning. According to Mayor Collins, the purpose of having the three different labs is to make sure the results are accurate and the water is safe for consumption.
Governor John Kasich has declared a state of emergency for the Toledo area. Also according to CNN, Ohio Gov. John Kasich issued a state of emergency for Lucas and parts of Fulton and Wood counties. Late Friday evening, the water emergency came after two samples from a water treatment plant showed readings for microcystis, a toxin that is released by algal blooms.
In the meantime, hundreds of people around the metropolitan area have volunteered to bring water to the community. According www.toledonewsnow.com/, water distribution centers have been set up around the city. Four main centers include
Springfield High School – 1470 S McCord Rd, Holland, OH 43528; 6:00 – 11:00 p.m.
Woodward High School – 701 E Central Ave, Toledo, OH 43608; 6:00 – 11:00 p.m.
Central Catholic High School – 2550 Cherry St, Toledo, OH 43608; 4:00 – 11:00 p.m.
Waite High School - 301 Morrison Dr, Toledo, OH 43605; 4:00 – 11:00 p.m.
Many of the centers will reopen at 8 a.m.
Other sites are also being set up. For a full list, see www.toledonewsnow.com.

Reviews for Pierogi Pasta Shells
"I made my own mashed potatoes. They might have been a little denser, but worked fine. I added butter and milk. I used a Pampered Chef med. scoop to fill them and it worked great. The perfect size. I just squished them a little when done. I melted a little butter and garlic and spread that on the bottom of the dish instead of greasing it. I then covered the dish and put them in the oven at a lower temperature 250 degrees, then lowered it just to keep them warm, as I didn't know what time the family was getting home. I didn't uncover it at all as I figured that was what was drying them out. They were good, everyone liked them. Not dry at all. Next time I would add more seasoning, as I like a stronger flavor. Oh, my husband said they looked like slugs. ;) but very tasty ones. :)"
"I am planning on trying these with our July fourth celebration. I'm going to try pouring cream of mushroom soup in to help keep the pasta from drying out!"
"very good...just did not reheat well for me"
"My husband and I thought these were very good. We used instant garlic mashed potatoes and melted cheddar in with them. I then thinly sliced an onion and sauted in butter poured over the top and baked as directed...my only complaint is the shells were dry...is there any way to reheat these without them drying out?"
"This is a family favorite."

Lashed by frigid rain, two hikers, wrapped in thick parkas and carrying heavy packs, stopped abruptly on their trek across the glacial ice of Mount Sanford, Alaska. "Oh my God," the first man said, looking down at the rock-strewn ice before him. His friend caught up, and then he stared in horror too. A perfectly preserved human arm poked out of the ice, the alabaster hand pointing north by northwest.
It was July 1999, and the hikers were pilots who had made several trips to the icy Alaskan mountainside in an attempt to solve the puzzle of Northwest Airlines Flight 4422, one of the most mysterious crashes in commercial-aviation history. After taking off from Anchorage on a clear night in March 1948, the chartered DC-4 had slammed into the western face of a 16,000-foot peak, burst into flames and plummeted down the mountain's icy flank, breaking into pieces on the glacier. The 24 passengers—all merchant mariners who had sailed an oil tanker from the U.S. to Shanghai and were on their way to New York—were presumed dead, along with six crew members. Legend had it that the plane was carrying gold bullion. But within days of the crash, snow and ice had completely covered the wreckage. For more than 50 years, the mountain kept the plane's secret.
Until now.
The frozen arm had no tattoos, no rings, no identifying marks of any kind. Some family members of the missing had been waiting for closure on this accident for decades, and everyone wanted to know: Whose arm was it?
In 2007, when the mystery still hadn't been solved, the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory contacted Colleen Fitzpatrick, a nuclear physicist who was building a new career as a forensic genealogist, tracking missing people through vital records, family history and DNA. If anyone could help break the mysterious Arm in the Snow case, it was Fitzpatrick.
At five feet two inches tall, with tousled curls and rimless eyeglasses, Fitzpatrick emanates laser-sharp intelligence and unselfconscious warmth. She favors hugs, not handshakes, and her preferred work clothes are jeans rolled up at the ankle, scuffed black slip-ons and little makeup. In the Huntington Beach, California, house she shares with her partner, Andy Yeiser, Fitzpatrick keeps a decades-old pet African tortoise named Thing Three (after a character in the Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat), who will daintily take a pink hibiscus blossom from your hand and eat it, and a California desert tortoise dubbed Thing Four. She swings her pet parrot, Sikiru, to sleep every night after feeding it a snack of M&M's.
Her personal habits may be eccentric, but Fitzpatrick's methodical, unyielding style of work has allowed her to build a reputation as one of the best DNA detectives in the country. She combines high-tech DNA analysis with the skills of an old-fashioned gumshoe, combing birth and death certificates, newspaper articles and church and cemetery records—and making calls to distant continents far into the night. Since switching professions in 2005, she has solved a variety of cases, from helping identify the remains of a baby who died in 1912 to locating owners of unclaimed property. "I can usually find anyone around the world in two steps," she boasts today. But when the Arm in the Snow mystery landed on her desk, it was by far her most complex case.
Fitzpatrick never set out to be a DNA detective, but she's always had a passion for science. As a kid in New Orleans, she was the classic high school geek, more interested in preparing an optical-illusion project for the science fair than in finding a date for the senior prom. "I wasn't Miss Popular," she says. "I pretty much was the science club."
She got her PhD in nuclear physics from Duke University in 1983, then taught at Sam Houston State University in Texas before moving to California to work for a defense firm. In 1989 she started her own optics company in her garage. The company flourished, and she hired seven scientists to help her develop and test a range of products, from medical devices to laser measurement equipment for NASA.

Never read the book either, but I thought the movie was excellent. With all the bitching I've heard about the religious overtones, I thought he was going to be a bible shouter or something. Instead, it was very subtle and only brought forth near the end. While all the atheists and agnostics complain every time God is so much as mentioned in any given movie, you can't sidestep the fact that lots of people, especially those in times of great stress and trouble as is depicted here, turn to God to explain what others could call coincidences. That's all they did here. There were no halos of light with a booming voice or bloody notes on the wall from the creator, just people coping with a situation how people tend to cope.
So, yeah, I appreciated the way the whole story played out. Superbly acted by both Smith and his canine companion. And yeah, the CG humans were sorta unrealistic looking, but somehow, it worked for me. Really stripped away their humanity to where you saw them exactly as they were.
It was incredibly well paced and for the first half, they employed the underused effect of "scare you with what you don't see" that has seemed to have lost favor with horror movies of late. This effect is used so well that when the sh*t hits the fan in the last half, you've already built up this image in your mind that is given horrendous life as if ripped from the depths of your imagination.
It isn't gory or a bloodbath. Instead, it's just a really intense, well acted, well paced, intriguing story. So even though it supposedly doesn't follow the book, as an unbiased observer, I give it high marks.
And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.
OMG Jedi Knight 4!!!

A dog who was left in a Kirkland, Wash. car this afternoon in the blistering heat is safe - thanks to the vigilance of a good Samaritan. The good Samaritan, who asks to not be named, saw the dog panting in the car and went into action. She discussed the incident with Seattle Pets Examiner today.
"The temperature reading on my car said 93 degrees," the good Samaritan explained. "The car was parked directly in the sun with the dog inside, so I called the police and waited for them."
In the greater Seattle, Washington area, it has been extremely hot lately - far too hot to bring a pet and leave them in the car - whether the windows are cracked or not. Vehicles can reach fatally high temperatures in minutes.
According to the Humane Society, you should never leave your pet in a parked car. They state:
Never leave them in the car. Not even for a minute. Not even with the car running and air conditioner on. On a warm day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. Your pet may suffer irreversible organ damage or die.
When the owner of the vehicle finally approached the car after more than thirty minutes, the good Samaritan told her that the dog was in distress and that she had reported the incident and the vehicle to the police.
"She swore at me," the good Samaritan stated.
She added: "The dog was in the car for at least 30 minutes. The driver would deny that, but I waited outside for someone to show up. I had perishables in the car, but that wasn't even on my mind. The woman left before the cops even got there. I made her nervous by telling her that I already reported her."
Hopefully this person will think twice about taking their dog into the heat again.
According to the Humane Society, this good Samaritan did everything right. The Humane Society provides the following advice if you find a pet left in a vehicle:
Leaving pets locked in cars is never safe. But when the weather gets warmer, it can be deadly. Pets can't withstand high temperatures—they can cause irreparable organ damage and even death.
Take down the car's make, model and license-plate number. If there are businesses nearby, notify their managers or security guards and ask them to make an announcement to find the car's owner. If the owner can't be found, call the non-emergency number of the local police or animal control and wait by the car for them to arrive.
Thank you to the good Samaritan who acted on behalf of this little dog. Animals cannot speak for themselves - we have to advocate for them.
Pet heat safety can save an animal's life. Sadly, many dogs left in cars die every year. Please share this information about pet heat dangers to help protect other animals.

One of the hardest things about eating vegan is finding a really great vegan pizza. Most vegans have to resort to ordering their pizza from their favorite pizza place cheese-less and endure being 'that' person. The other option is to make homemade pizza which never tastes as good and takes longer to make than 30 minutes or less.
That is why it has been a joy to recently discover Blaze Pizza. Blaze Pizza sells personal thin crust pizzas and they have a variety of sauces and topping set out in a Subway or Chipotle style layout and you choose exactly what type of sauce and toppings that you want and then they bake it right there on an open flame stove. You are able to have a freshly made a cooked pizza in about 10 minutes.
The best thing about this place is that they offer vegan cheese from Daiya. Vegan cheeses deserve their own post, but let's just say not all vegan cheeses are created the same. Thank goodness Daiya is one of the good ones. It tastes great, melts well, and pares awesome on a pizza.
Blaze even offer gluten free crusts (both the vegan cheese and gluten free crust have an extra cost) and their prices are comparable to most Chicago pizza places. And since most people like pizza and it has vegan and omnivore offerings, this is the perfect place to bring friends or family who don't "like" vegan food.
There is currently only one Blaze Pizza in Chicago on Belmont with one opening soon on Ontario, so it's located perfectly for lunch during the middle of shopping, after a night of partying, or before a movie.
Good prices, great atmosphere, plus yummy pizza equals the perfect meal!

Downton Abbey fans were excited to see the return of America's favorite British drama from across the pond on PBS yesterday, Sunday, Jan. 5. Darlene Shirey has become more famous than some of the characters that are part of the drama with her appearances before each episode. If you don't know who she is, then you haven't been watching the show.
One lady in a Wichita Falls, Tex. restaurant glanced at her watch and said to the people near her, "Downton Abbey starts in twenty minutes. We have to go home!"
Downton Abbey has become to millions of fans in the United States and around the world what the Super Bowl is to football fans. Ever since Sir Mathew Crawley died in a tragic automobile accident on an English country road to end Season Three, fans have been biting their fingernails in anxiety as to whether the show will survive without him.
The opening show probably relieved most fans as it offered solid evidence that creator Julian Fellowes is the real star of this incredibly popular series which he promises will continue through Season Five and maybe even Six. His contract to produce "The Gilded Age" in the U.S. may be the only thing that stops Downton's incredible run of success.
"I can't do them both at the same time," he said. "So, although I've signed the contract, I won't start work on the Gilded Age until Downton ends."
He may put off doing GA if Downton's success continues at its same level.
Although, there is a negative blog from the Washington Post about the initial episode, odds are the show's avid fan base will neither care nor be affected by it.
While fans of the show come from all walks of life, probate attorneys should be especially drawn to it. The plot takes a devilish twist when it is discovered Lady Mary was left a letter from her deceased husband in which he states he intends to leave her in control of Downton instead of bypassing her in favor of their son George. Matthew, who was an attorney, never did get around to making a will so everyone assumed the estate would pass by the laws of intestate succession.
However, the legal experts determine the letter has the same effect as a will and Mary's stunned father is disappointed to learn he will not regain control of Downton as he'd hoped.
The show is much more than a drama as it is set against the backdrop of post-World War I England when the distance between lords and commoners is greatly diminished. While the aristocracy becomes concerned with how they'll pay the enormous taxes the government is levying upon their estates, the common folk see new opportunities for upward mobility.

Change is uncomfortable. It is often scary, sometimes seeminlgy forced upon us, and can be so challenging to move through even when desired. When it seems forced upon us, it can be downright pooey (that's a technical term).
I have been desiring change in some of my own patterns, and I have made some progress. For me, the measurable, observable changes are in eating habits and movement. The real change is in how I am thinking, feeling, and my degree of presence. I was thinking about how when people face life threatening illness, for example, the motivation to make positive changes is very great. Many do meet that challenge, yet many do not. I know one man who continued to smoke after having his tongue cut out and much of his palate from cancer. Still, for many, it is a powerful motivator.
I really do not want to manifest some serious physical ailment in order to motivate the changes that I know will empower me. It seems so obvious. Yet, it feels so difficult! Ways of habitual being are so out of our conscious awareness that we often don't even realize that we haven't made the changes we thought we were accomplishing until something occurs to slap us into awareness again!
I sit here this evening with reflux, a manifestation of my not eating the best way for me. Tonight, it was not so much what I ate as when. Sometimes there are conflicting desires - I want to eat dinner with my wonderful husband, and I want to eat before 7PM. Many days he does not get home until after 7PM. Today was one of those days. So, I ate later. Now I feel not-so-good. I am fortunate to be able to sleep in, so I can stay up later to give the reflux time to settle. Still, it would be my preference not to have reflux at all.
That is another spiritual lesson: accepting what is. Truly accepting it, not just giving lip service. Feeling peace in the presence of discomfort and pain, whether physical or emotional. We can accept the "what is" and we can also desire the future to be other at the same time. This takes awhile to get the knack of, and sometimes I can do it, and others....well, that's what spiritual growth is all about - stretching past where we are now, while also being where we are now.
I watched a powerful movie recently, which moved me to tears at times. Not tears of sadness, but truly tears of being touched in my spiritual center. It was Ram Dass' documentary "Fierce Grace." Ram Dass has been a spiritual teacher for over forty years, and he continues to live his life as an example of what is possible for all of us. He lives with courage and truly Fierce Grace. At this point in his life, Ram Dass lives with the physical effects of, as he puts it, having been stroked, with the right side of his body no longer functioning well.
His journey through this experience, including a loss of faith and the dark night of the soul after having been a guru to many for decades, and his journey not just back into the light, but into a deeper spiritual center than he ever experienced...well, it gives me hope.
Hope is a powerful feeling. It opens the way for good to come in, even when we are at our lowest and cannot possibly see how we can come back from whatever challenges we are facing. Hope allows us to face change.
One thing I have learned in my life that serves me now is that I have come to truly know and trust that change is always for the better, even when we cannot see how. Most especially when we cannot see how, perhaps.
A wise man once wrote (and sang): Life is what happens while you're making other plans. Ram Dass' movie really speaks to this, and I know I have certainly experienced this numerous times.
That's when I remind myself that there is a bigger picture, and I don't have it. But, God/Divine/Consciousness does. I hold onto hope, a willingness to change, and a trust and faith that I am being taken care of, even when I can't see it. My part is to stay open, focus on the good in my life, appreciate what I do have, and allow space for Good (Go'd) to pour more into my life.
Change is not comfortable. But, real growth entails stepping out of our comfort zones, breaking old patterns, being present and accepting what is, and allowing ourselves to be curious about what is next rather than afraid...curiosity is a completely different vibration than fear, or anger, or discomfort. It is open and expansive where the others are closed and constrictive.
So, I choose to be curious about what's next. I accept the 'isness' of this moment, reflux and all. I can feel the discomfort and choose not to suffer (which is the mental chatter we have about the discomfort, and then feel bad emotionally from that). I choose to focus on listening to the silence that is underneath the noises around me (the dishwasher running, the clock ticking, the occasional car going by, and my husband gently snoring in the next room), the silence that allows for the arising of sound. Listening to the silence underneath all sounds allows me to connect with the alert Witness Within, and access inner peace, regardless of life situations. I choose peace this night, and I am grateful for the awareness of this possibility.
In Columbus, there are many alternatives available to assist us in dealing with change, making needed changes, and dealing with the stress that often accompanies change. Holistic Life Coaching, hypnosis, spiritual counseling, Reiki, acupuncture, self-help books, even aromatherapy oils and other holistic methods such as Polarity Therapy can help us in making the changes we desire and coping with changes we did not. Check these out soon for a change of pace.
