I had a simple idea to make a christmas dance video with a few friends. I told my multi-talented friend, Kyle Breen, about it, and he jumped on board to contribute his brilliant ideas. Kyle is one of my favorite people to work with because he always challenges me to go bigger and think outside the box.
1 google sheet + 1 trips to central park + 2 google docs + 3 late night phone calls + 78 text messages + 25 dancer +, 2 videographers + 3 cameras = and we had ourselves an epic video project!
To My Dancers:
THANK YOU from the very bottom of my yellow heart for all of your love, support, and dedication to make this happen. You all are so so so so special to me. To have all of you together and dancing was BEYOND MAGICAL for me to witness.
It could not have been a more perfect day... First of all, the weather was not as bad as it could have been, considering it's December in New York City. Yet in the background for the scenes, we had this beautiful light dusting of snow on the ground! We also didn't get kicked out- despite Kyle climbing up and hanging upside down on iconic park landmarks to glitter bomb people! He also didn't break a single bone after jumping off a 15 foot boulder! (I was literally scared for his life.) As a group, we spread so much joy and happiness in creating this. We touched and inspired so many lives as people watched us dance around like fools, especially the HUGE crowd in front of Bethesda Fountain! And then to finish it all off, we got a visit from so many friendly doggies when we wrapped!!!
We brought magic to the world, and the world gave us magic back.
Spread your love and light.

The Zalman
CNPS9500 AM2 heatsink is compatible with all current AMD Athlon64 processors,
and in particular the just introduced AMD 940-pin AM2 processor and socket
AM2 heatsink retention frame. As this is the very first socket AM2
(aka socket M2) heatsink to enter the FrostyTech test labs, we'll be touching upon the critical differences between socket
AM2 and socket 754/939/940 heatsinks in just a moment.
heatsink is voluminous in size and weighs about 530grams, but it's designed to operate
quietly and coolly under low noise, low fan-speed conditions. The Zalman
FanMate2 fan speed controller is used to tweak the fan from an audible
2600RPM, right through to the virtually silent fan speed of 1350RPM.
Zalman CNPS9500 AM2
Manufacturer: Zalman
Model No.: CNPS9500 AM2
Materials: Chrome plated copper base, heatpipes and fins.
Fan Mfg: Zalman ZM7GL
Fan Spec: 1350-2600RPM, 12V, 0.35A
Fan Dim: 25x92x92mm
Heatsink & Fan Dim: 112x126x85mm
Weight: 530 grams
Includes: Fanmate 2 and mounting clip, thermal
Compatible with Sockets: 754/939/940/AM2
Est. Pricing: $50USD
The Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 heatsink is framed
around three copper heatpipes bent into a figure-eight form, with about a
hundred 0.2mm copper fins attached at regular intervals to entirely surround
the spinning fan. As you'll see momentarily in the thermal and acoustic test results, the CNPS9500 AM2 heatsink is a
very effective thermal solution at low fan speeds. In fact, it offers just slightly cooler running temps than
the stock socket AM2 heatsink, and with significantly lower noise output.
Clip, Four K8 Processor Sockets
The complex shape of the
Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 heatsink makes the proposition of installing it onto an AMD socket AM2 processor about as
endearing as mid-terms... but the process is remarkably easy.
The heatsink comes with a single prong clip split into two parts. This
steel clip will work with socket 754/939/940 and AM2 Athlon64 motherboards.
The method of installation will depend on how the AM2 CPU socket is
oriented on the motherboard, as the manufacturer recommends that the exhaust from the Zalman CNPS9500 AM2
always be blowing towards the rear of the chassis.
We should also mention the following restrictions that
may prevent the Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 from installing correctly:
1.) No interfering components within 56mm of the
center of the CPU up or down, and none within 45mm of the center of the CPU to
the front or rear. 2.) There must be at least 135mm space above the CPU
socket in the chassis for the CNPS9500 AM2 to fit.
A few
quick measurements will ensure that the power supply, videocard, and any optical disk drives in your computer
case are far enough away from the CPU socket.
Given the orientation, the steel clip is either threaded perpendicularly in between the copper heatpipes, or parallel to them through the
wide gap. It can be a bit tricky to thread the clip through the heatpipes, so
pay close attention to the illustrations in the manual.
Next, we'll examine the new AMD Athlon64 socket AM2
heatsink retention frame (pictured above), and discuss which kinds of socket 754/939/940 heatsinks have been made obsolete
by its four-post screw design, and which types of K8 heatsinks will remain compatible with AM2.
Get ready to toss out that high performance $60 copper behemoth...

This entry may have seemed like a no-brainer, but there were a few artists I wanted to feature. I decided to go with the more obscure band, Pitchshifter, passing on The Prodigy (another band highly influential in my creative endeavors). However, one of the members of Pitchshifter played with The Prodigy, so there's at least a loose connection.
I can't recall when I first heard the UK-based Industrial band. I do know it was during the peak of their popularity, around the release of www.pitchshifter.com. The song that sparked my interest was "Genius":
They had many of their songs featured on soundtracks of both video games and movies, so it's possible that's where I picked up on them. Or at a live outdoor concert?! I bought this album and the handful that came out thereafter, but I don't believe I ever explored their earlier CDs. Or if I did, I don't remember much of them. I'll have to revisit.
Another popular song from their fifth release was "Microwaved":
From reading up on Pitchshifter, it appears they have had a lot of member changes throughout the years, eventually going on an "indefinite" hiatus in 2003. They had two more releases after www.pitchshifter.com, each one less of a commercial success than the last, unfortunately. I'll share one song from each.
Here we have a demo or promo video for "Hidden Agenda" which was from their 2000 release, Deviant:
I know it says "HQ" for that video, but it sounds really quiet to me. Anyhow, I liked the video and the song a lot, so I wanted to share it.
The next, despite being a good song, was chosen largely in part of the irony involved. "Shutdown" appeared on Pitchshifter's final album, PSI:
As it were, Pitchshifter was eventually shut down. I know they had to change labels near the end of their run. I'm assuming that that, along with their steady decline in populrity, played a role in the band dissolving. Throughout the years, though, they've done some additional work (None for All and All for One) and live performances. Maybe you can't keep them down?
They've made the claim that they are working on new material and plan on touring again, so maybe we will be seeing a resurgence of their presence in the music scene? I'd like that. Honestly, they've stuck to their style and I could even see the older tracks still being used for games, movies, etc. I'm curious to see what develops in the next year or two.
Are you familiar with Pitchshifter? Did you enjoy the songs/videos? Do you have a favorite song and/or album? Have you ever seen them live? If so, how was the performance? Do you think Pitchshifter will put out another album? Would you want them to keep their original style or change it up?

'There's no normal anymore': Redding on edge as Carr Fire grows
After the Carr Fire, 'I don't know what to do now'
Exhausted firefighters in Shasta County continued their attack Friday night against the deadly Carr Fire, moving to stop the monster blaze from advancing on Redding but preparing emergency plans to evacuate the entire city of 91,000 residents if necessary.
By late Friday, the winds that had been predicted to sweep in from the northwest over the fire had yet to materialize in force, and officials hoped they would have time overnight to continue making progress against the fire, which ballooned to about 75 square miles by Friday night, destroyed 500 structures and damaged another 75.
Fire officials expected those numbers to increase in coming days, and late Friday said the 48,312-acre fire was only 5 percent contained.
Two people – Redding fire inspector Jeremy Stoke and an unidentified bulldozer operator working on contract to cut fire lines – were killed in the fire's onslaught.
No details were available about how Stoke died, but he reportedly had come back from vacation to help fight the blaze.
A contract worker who was working with the bulldozer operator who was killed said he was part of a team of four bulldozers digging rings around homes near Shasta Lake to try and protect them Thursday.
Sean Grimes, 51, said as they were working two massive whirlwinds of fire came down a hill. Grimes said he learned later that the victim's bulldozer became stuck as the fire approached.
"He got caught up on some rocks and got stuck and couldn't get off them," Grimes said. "When it came over this mountain (the fire) did something different.
"It was crazy and the wind was so intense."
Firefighters throughout the area were describing the fiercely erratic and fast-moving nature of the fire, which jumped the Sacramento River Thursday night and spread toward neighborhoods on the western edge of Redding.
Fire and air crews battled throughout the day and into the night using C-130 tankers, helicopters, hoses and shovels throughout the fire zone in an effort to halt the fire's advances.
More than 38,000 residents were ordered evacuated, and fresh evacuations west of town were being ordered Friday night as officials emphasized that people had to be ready to get out at the first warning.
"This fire is scary to us, this is something we haven't seen before in the city," said Redding Police Chief Roger Moore. "It's changing direction radically."
Moore, who evacuated his family from their River Ridge home Thursday morning, spent the day helping with other evacuations and later learned his home had been destroyed.
He and Cal Fire officials emphasized late Friday that area residents heed evacuation orders and avoid what officials called the "chaos" of Thursday night's exodus of thousands of people late at night.
"When this fire made a run early this morning we saw massive gridlock," Moore said. "We can't have that."
Authorities issued red flag warnings about high winds in the area that could spark a new explosion of the Carr Fire, and warned that embers carried by the winds could travel a mile and create new spot fires.
"All it takes is one ember," said Cal Fire incident commander Greg Bertelli. "If we get a 60 mph wind, who knows?"
But officials said clear weather Friday allowed them to strengthen fire lines in a bid to stop the monster blaze from reaching further into Redding or spreading east of Interstate 5 into new neighborhoods.
"It's all west of I-5, and we don't want it to get even near to I-5," Cal Fire Deputy Chief Scott McLean said Friday afternoon. "People are working on strengthening the line, our aircraft are up and we're supposed to see decent weather over the fires.
"We're taking every advantage that we can."
The fire was still threatening nearly 5,000 homes Friday night, and fire officials say its erratic, unpredictable nature is a sign of how much peril tinder-dry California faces from wildfires.
"There's no normal anymore," McLean said. "That doesn't exist anymore."
The Carr Fire spawned two exceptionally rare "fire tornadoes" created by intense heat as the fire generated its own weather, and its speed stunned fire officials as the blaze grew overnight.
Three firefighters from the Marin County Fire Department suffered burns to their ears, face and hands Thursday night as they were trying to protect structures and were hit with a "sudden blast of heat from vegetation adjacent to a structure," the department said in a Facebook post.
The three — Scott Pederson, 37; Tyler Barnes 34; and Brian Cardoza, 26 — were treated at Redding's Mercy Medical Center. One was later brought to the UC Davis Burn Center in Sacramento for further evaluation.
"There was literally a wall of flames coming into the city of Redding," Cal Fire Battalion Chief Jonathan Cox said Friday morning.
The National Weather Service was predicting winds moving southeast up to 30 miles per hour in some areas and extended its red flag warning through 8 a.m. Monday.
Similar to last year's devastating fires in Napa and Sonoma, the Carr Fire made its way into residential subdivisions on the west side of the city. In the Mary Lake neighborhood, at least half a dozen homes were burning Thursday night.
In Lake Redding Estates, at least 40 homes were completely destroyed, and the charred wreckage of cars, patios and wooden walls were still smoldering Friday morning.
Dozens of residents found their way back into their neighborhoods – some on bicycles – to salvage what they could from the remains as firefighters surveyed the damage.
On Harlan Drive, Kent Fiscus was shocked to find that his house, though damaged by an uprooted tree, was untouched by fire. Even the chickens in his yard were still alive. Directly across the street, his neighbors' house had burned to the ground.
"It's devastating, and I don't know how we got so blessed," Fiscus said, growing emotional as he looked at his damaged home. "I feel so bad for my neighbors across the street. How this place is still standing there, I'm blown away."
Not far away, Dan Spraggins, 79, was examining the charred remains of his home – and what was left of his beloved '55 Chevy – and fretting about how he'd have to break the news to his wife, Chris.
"She's not going to be too good when I show her pictures of this place," Spraggins said as a friend of his offered a sympathetic hug. "This was such a beautiful home."
Smoke still rose from the ashes of some destroyed homes, and the hillsides above the neighborhood were charred black from when the fire swept over the Sacramento River and roared down into the enclave.
Six miles to the northwest, the small town of Keswick, home to about 450, appeared almost entirely destroyed.
Cars with aluminum wheels melted onto the pavement stood between hollowed out shells of trailers and remnants of homes. On the way into town, a bleating goat wandered through the rubble. While Keswick Dam, which blocks the Sacramento River, was surrounded by charred manzanita, the structure itself seemed unharmed.
Pete Foote, a 64-year-old Redding resident, said he fled his Hallmark Drive home at about 8:45 p.m. Thursday after he saw "flames coming up from the river toward our house, and we got out."
"We're pretty sure it's burned to the ground," Foote said of his home of 20 years.
In Country Heights, a hilly and rural subdivision that counts as one of the last city neighborhoods on the edge of town, most neighbors had gone.
But resident Bryan Michiels was busy hooking up a newly-purchased fire hose to the hydrant in front of his ranch home. It snaked up the front of the stucco exterior and onto the roof, where Michiels planned to keep it running.
His mother was the first person to buy a lot in this scenic enclave, and built the house custom in 1991. He grew up there, and though he'd sent his wife to Red Bluff last night, he stayed with his two dogs, Bandit and Tippy.
He planned to continue his watch, though the occasional police cruiser was still going by Thursday night, the fire "sounded like a freight train coming," he said. But he could still see fire engines on the nearby ridge and figured he was safe enough until they pulled out.
Like others, he could hear multiple propane tanks popping, and saw the fire swirl like a tornado, he said.
Fire officials said a "mechanical failure of a vehicle" started the blaze Monday at about 1:15 p.m., but had no other details. Officials also said it was impossible to predict when the fire might be contained.
About 3,200 homes in the Redding area were without power Friday afternoon, Pacific Gas & Electric reported, and authorities had stepped up patrols of neighborhoods because of reports of looting. No arrests were reported as of Friday afternoon.
McLean said firefighting aircraft were flying Friday morning despite an inversion that brought heavy smoke over the Redding area, and that in some areas firefighters had been able to get up to the edge of the flames to build containment lines.
The joint response included 110 engines from multiple agencies as well as 10 helicopters, with 1,748 firefighters on the ground.
Gov. Jerry Brown, who earlier declared a state of emergency for the fire, tweeted his condolences Friday morning for the loss of life and property in the fire.
"Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the 2 firefighters we lost fighting the & with the many Californians who have lost their homes," he wrote.
Displaced residents were being directed to five evacuation centers, including one at the Rolling Hills Casino in Corning, general manager Steve Neely said.
"We're still taking folks, we're filling up, as you might expect," Neely said Friday morning.
The casino, 45 miles south of Redding, opened the doors of its conference center, as well as its equestrian facility, and was providing food, water, cool shelter and some bedding for residents, as well as their pets and horses.
"Honestly, we're more of a makeshift, just-get-out-of-the-heat place to come," Neely said. "We're obviously not equipped with full beds and everything else, but we do have blankets."
Smoke blocked visibility and filled the air with an acrid scent Friday afternoon as evacuations remained in place and displaced people began looking for longer-term solutions.
Hotels were full, with some people booking rooms for more than a week, uncertain if they had homes to return to.
At The Marriott TownePlace Suites, receptionist Kayla Lane was at work despite having been evacuated three times herself. She doesn't know if her home, near a local high school, survived.
"My entire life is in my car," Lane said. But with so many people needing to be checked in, she felt she had to work.
"This is primarily firefighters and evacuees," Lane said. "So I can't reconcile myself to not coming in."
Local resident Ineetta Stone, 66, had a mix of exhaustion and worry on her face as she stood next to her son's car early Friday at the Shasta College evacuation center. It was just before 1 a.m in the parking lot, where dozens of evacuees raced Thursday night.
Smoke had turned the moon dark red and ash drifted through the air, leaving a light dust on the pavement. At around 9 p.m. Stone and her husband, Vernon Stone, 84, had received an automated call ordering them out of their home.
In the frenzy to leave, Vernon Stone fell and broke his hip while his wife was checking on a neighbor, she said. It had been fractured before two months earlier, and the accident turned their evacuation into another medical emergency. An ambulance rushed him to the hospital. They don't know if their home survived.
"I don't know," she said. "I don't even know."
It was an even more frantic scene a few yards away from her in the Shasta College lot a few hours after midnight, where a group of workers from a nursing home, the Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation Center, raced to unload wheelchairs.
The chairs were for the 105 patients bused to Shasta College from the facility, which had escaped the flames. The workers quickly headed back into the evacuation zone to grab mattresses from the facility.
Some evacuees tried to keep things upbeat. Two couples at the evacuation center at Shasta College, Steve and Donna Casey and Greg and Robin Johnson, sat on the bed of a pickup truck sipping wine.
Behind them in the pickup were a couple of bags of clothes. The Johnsons' pet bird clung to its carrying crate between them; their two hunting dogs sat at their feet. Neither couple knew whether their house still stood.
"Tonight, we drink a glass of wine," Steve Casey said, clinking glasses with Robin Johnson. "Tomorrow, we play house roulette."

How To Be Creative
If you've ever thought or said, "I'm just not a creative person," then this blog post is for you. The truth is everyone can be creative. Here's how.
Be willing to come up with ideas
If you're willing to come up with ideas, you've done about half of the work. Every creative project begins with an idea. So simple, right?
Honor your ideas
While not every idea you have will solve world hunger or end modern-day slavery, they are still your ideas. Don't throw them away just because you think they're stupid. Value yourself enough to honor your ideas. This might mean writing down the two lines of poetry that just trickled through your brain, or sketching out solutions to the problems you've noticed in your industry. Creatives are not defined by they're excellence but by their willingness to say "I can do this."
Act on your ideas
Action is what separates the self-acclaimed non-creatives from the creatives. Practice makes perfect in every creative field. So, practice. Pick up your pen and remember to journal. Pick up your brush and remember to paint. Pick up your camera and remember to capture the moments. Keep practicing and putting in the effort and I promise it will show in your work.
Learn to be Resourceful
Acting on your your ideas may also mean educating yourself on how to best execute them. Whether that's through college, university, tutorials, books, or apprenticing yourself to someone who is excellent at what you want to do, allow yourself the chance to learn wisely. Creativity is about discovering beauty. The more space you give yourself to study, the more satisfaction you'll find in your creative process.
Let yourself be a Beginner
Breathe. You haven't painted the Mona Lisa, written Adele-like songs, or figured out how to successfully stitch together a plot—yet. And that's okay. You were never meant to measure up to anyone else's standards for self-expression. So don't compare yourself. Breathe and reject perfectionism. Perfectionism produces stress and unhealthy comparison while self-expression produces freedom. You will produce your most heartfelt work when you allow yourself to grow into the experience of self-expression. So, don't give up.

Instruction Breakdown
This estimate is at $40/hour, a competitive price for private instruction.
Supplies Breakdown
This is a modest estimate that you'd only use 15 staples and pieces of shaped cane during the three days of camp. So this estimate could easily be higher in actuality.
Now Consider...
Your instructor has 20 years experience making oboe reeds and currently produces about 1,000 reeds a year. That's a lot of reed making. Then consider the percentage of relief you'll feel once you can start making your reeds work better for you.

Tehran to Host Iran-Russia-Turkey Talks on Syria Tuesday
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran, Russia, and Turkey plan to hold a trilateral expert-level meeting in Tehran on Tuesday to exchange views about the latest efforts to resolve the Syrian crisis, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi announced.
Delegations of military experts from Iran, Russia, and Turkey are slated to participate in the one-day talks in preparation for the next "Astana Meeting", Qassemi said at his press conference in Tehran on Monday.
He further expressed the hope that the meeting, which would be held in continuation of the recent talks between the three countries in the Kazakh capital of Astana, would yield positive results.
The spokesman also said that representatives of Tehran, Moscow, and Ankara will once again convene in Astana on May 3 to discuss the Syrian issue.
The third round of negotiations between the Syrian government and the rebel groups was held in Astana earlier in March in pursuit of peace in the Arab country.
Diplomatic efforts to end fighting in Syria have gained momentum in recent months with the announcement of a ceasefire in the Arab country in early January.
The truce, which was negotiated between Russia, Iran, Turkey, the Damascus government and the Syrian opposition, excludes terrorist groups such as Daesh and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham.
Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with various terrorist groups, including Daesh (also known as ISIS or ISIL), controlling parts of it.
According to a report by the Syrian Center for Policy Research, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 470,000 people, injured 1.9 million others, and displaced nearly half of the country's pre-war population of about 23 million within or beyond its borders.

The Cubs finally got some sense and brought up Bobby Hill. Not only that, he'll be starting at second base in place of the awful, irredeemably bad Delino DeShields. Bye bye, grease!
Now the only question is how long it will take before Mark Prior is brought up. It's a tricky question, though. Juan Cruz has pitched well and doesn't really deserve to lose his spot in the rotation. On the other hand, the guy who really deserves to be pulled from the rotation, Jason Bere, has started his entire career. So what to do with him if Prior takes his place?
The Cubs have played well recently, and winning two out of three from the Cardinals was big. But, again, they need to take advantage against weak teams like the Brewers, which they didn't do by losing yesterday. Hopefully, Hill will make an immediate impact and the Cubs will take the next three against the Brew Crew.

Billionaire Gilbert Is Said to Be Looking to Cash Out of Casinos/
Quicken Loans Inc. founder Dan Gilbert is looking to exit the casino business, including properties in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit, according to people familiar with his plans.
Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse are representing Gilbert's casino company in the sale process, and Caesars Entertainment Corp. is among the possible bidders that have expressed interest in some properties, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Representatives for both banks and Caesars declined to comment.
"It is Jack Entertainment's long-standing policy to not comment on rumors or speculation," the company said in a statement Wednesday.
Gilbert, a billionaire who also owns the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team, began eyeing gambling as part of a strategy to revive struggling downtowns in older U.S. cities. He backed a 2009 ballot measure to legalize casinos in Ohio and opened his first property in the historic Higbee's department store building in downtown Cleveland three years later.
Jack Entertainment, based in Detroit, has interests in six casinos and racetracks, including Jack casinos in Ohio and the Greektown Casino-Hotel in Detroit, which Gilbert acquired in 2013. The properties may be sold separately. He's worth an estimated $7.8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

firsts things first
This is my first post and I am thrilled to have launched my first website and my first blog to propel my first glamour photography business. Lots of firsts today.
I believe that every woman should celebrate who she is today. You will never be as young as you are today. You should exist in photographs for your family... children... husband... whomever. You are a celebration of beauty at any age, size, color or creed.
She is beautiful. She is a woman. -William Shakespeare
Today I am looking back at my first shoot that was with some of my dear friends Jen and Dana. We had loads of fun and it was such a pleasure photographing them.
Here are their before and after shots...
Put first things first... This is actually the 2nd habit from Stephen Covey's book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In a nut shell, it is about always having life's most important priorities at the forefront of how we make our decisions. Family, friends, being trustworthy, God, love of country, etc. As I launch this new endeavor in photography, I am reminded of always put first things first with all of my portrait sessions. My clients are sisters, mothers, daughters, friends... they are cherished and so loved and I want to capture the beauty that other's see in you every day. It's time that YOU are on the list of "first things first."
xoxo, Danielle

BodyTalk Client Testimonial on Sleep:
" Thank you for the amazing BodyTalk session. I had to get off the phone quick. All I could think was "I have to go to sleep, I have to go to sleep". It felt like my whole body needed to shut down. I had a very deep, body-heavy sleep. I slept better for the first 2 nights, deeper than in a long time. And had more calm through my body than I have in a long time. It was powerful."

Why time is of the essence in workers' compensation cases
If you are injured on the job, don't delay! There are several steps you need to take immediately in order to ensure the best outcome after your injury:
First, report the incident to your supervisor. Failure to report the accident within 30 days can jeopardize your benefits. (O.C.G.A. § 34-9-80). Your employer will likely ask you to fill out paperwork detailing the incident, and will conduct an investigation. It's in your best interest for your company to conduct a thorough and timely investigation, providing all parties with the facts we need to manage your case.
Make sure to inform your employer if anyone witnessed the accident. Ask the witness to provide a written statement if possible.
Secondly, it is also important to hire an attorney in a timely manner, shortly following the accident. This is understandably difficult for most injured workers. In addition to oftentimes painful and debilitating injury, they are dealing with loss of income and perhaps family needs. If necessary, recruit help from a friend, family member or trusted co-worker to ensure you have the information you need to sign paperwork and authorize a client-attorney relationship. Your lawyer can't help you until you establish an agreement to work together.
The next deadline to be mindful of is filing your claim with the state of Georgia– required within one year of the injury or last injury-related medical treatment. (O.C.G.A. § 34-9-81). Your lawyer can assist you with the WC-14 form, required by the State Board.
If your benefits have been suspended and your condition changes for the worse, there's another deadline you need to be mindful of: you must file a request for recommencement within two (2) years from the date of last payment of income benefits. (O.C.G.A. § 34-9-104).
Lastly, if you are filing a permanent partial disability claim, you have four years to file the claim from the date of your last payment of income benefits.
If you're injured on the job: timing is everything! Call the Ramos Law Firm now to stay on top of these essential deadlines.

Char Kway Teow (or Char Koay Teow depending on where you are) is my favorite noodle dish of all time. Everytime I find myself in Malaysia or Singapore, I make sure to get at least 2 to 3 plates of it while I'm there. I just wondered what would happen if you do the same process but switch the flat noodles with rice and voila, a new dish was formed.
Ingredients (serves 4)
200 g suahe, shelled
2 links Chinese sausage, sliced thinly
500 g clams, washed and cleaned well
4 large eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic
2 chilies
6 cups cooked rice
2 cups bean sprouts, cleaned
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup wine
4 tbsps vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
green onions for garnish
- In a pot, steam the clams in the wine until the open. Remove the clam meat. Discard the shells but keep the broth.
- In a wok, heat up the oil. Add in the beaten eggs. After 1 minute, add in the shrimps, garlic and chinese sausage. Saute for 2 minutes.
- Add in the cooked rice. Add in soy sauce and half of the broth. Mix well. If more broth is needed, the rest can be added. Stir the rice and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add in the clam meat and the green onions and serve immediately.

Featured Artist: Krisamando
The creator, Krisamando, is compelled by an innate drive to make art. He says that his teacher has been the streets of his small town Klaten, in the Java province of Indonesia. His art style, which he describes as a "dirty street art, that is a bit dark and illustrative" is influenced by the people, the art, and the culture of his home.
His designs weave together conflicting threads of both the dark and the light; capturing unique visions like a skeleton on a surfboard or the ironic "Live Love Laugh" design that portrays a skeleton skateboarding.
Krisamando admits that he was never passionate about school and he knew that drawing was his "way of life". He never "pushes" himself to create art and instead simply lets the "feeling" happen naturally, usually at "midnight, a cup of coffee and music" to inspire him. He also focuses on getting time away from the creative process to refuel with friends, family, and pets.
The graffiti artist, Banksy, and death metal illustrator, Riddick Art, serve as an inspiration for Krisamando's own "dirty street art". Krisamando is encouraged by these artists to follow his own unique style; he reminds other artists to be true to their technique because, he says, "you're born original."

Top British stars gathered to raise £8,000 for a writing and human rights charity network, earlier this month, at the Kilburn Tricycle Theatre. Sir Ben Kingsley, Dame Harriet Walter, Bill Patterson and Mathew Macfayden were among the celebrities to read from books that inspired the former and current president of the network.
"It is a great honour to be involved in this evening with two great writers who recognise the importance of supporting voices that are unheard and suppressed. As actors, we are indebted to writers for the significant role they play in our working lives," said Patterson after the performance.
The stars read excerpts from Tolstoy, Salman Rushdie, Philip Rothman and Carol Ann Duffy, among others, in their own unique talent way in support of the English PEN Network.
Lisa Appignanesi was president of the network for 4 years before handing over her title to Gillian Slovo at the intimate but star-studded evening.
"Tonight is about sharing the great joy that literature can bring to our lives and I am fascinated to see the inspiring energy that it has created. PEN is about promoting the freedom to write and read and it has been an honour to lead this great effort," said Appignanesi.

Tadpole Heaven
Change is an inevitable and important part of life. When I brought live tadpoles into my classroom that was the lesson I had planned to teach. Too bad it didn't turn out that way. These were not ordinary tadpoles – they were large, green, bullfrog tadpoles I had purchased at the local Walmart for … More Tadpole Heaven

Chris Christie pressed to approve medical marijuana law
A New Jersey father pressed Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., to approve a measure expanding the availability of medical marijuana to children at a campaign stop on Wednesday, WCBS radio reports.
Brian Wilson, whose 2-year-old daughter Vivian suffers from Dravet Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy, confronted the governor to ask him why he was delaying a decision on a law passed by the New Jersey legislature that would allow children like Vivian to more easily receive medical marijuana.
"Please don't let my daughter die, governor," Wilson said. "Don't let my daughter die."
Wilson demanded to know "what the hold up is," saying, "It's been like two months now."
"These are complicated issues," Christie replied.
Wilson didn't buy it. "Very simple issue," he shot back.
"No, I know you think it's simple," Christie said. "I know you think it's simple, and it's not."
Christie said he'd arrive at a decision by Friday, telling Wilson, "I wish the best for you, your daughter, and your family, and I'm going to do what I think is best for the people of the state."
- Invoking 9/11, Chris Christie slams libertarians
- Rand Paul vs. Chris Christie: Who wins with Republicans?
Wilson and his wife wrote a letter earlier in August to Christie describing their daughter's seizures and imploring the governor to ease the restrictions on medical marijuana for children. The Wilsons said a strain of marijuana that does not contain THC - the psychoactive compound that gets users high - is the only thing that helps their daughter. But the state's current medical marijuana laws, the Wilsons argue, prevent them from obtaining the help Vivian needs.
The proposed change to the law pushed by the Wilsons would impose strict limits on what kind of treatment can be administered, and it would require at least three doctors to sign off on prescriptions of medical marijuana for children.
Wilson told WCBS that he and his family will be forced to move to Colorado, where marijuana laws are far more permissive, if they can't find the solution they need in New Jersey. "Every day, she's dying more and more," Wilson said of his daughter," and [Christie] keeps on wanting to think about this bill."
During his regular "Ask the Governor" radio segment in July, Christie said he was concerned that the law could too easily allow people with no malady to receive medical marijuana. "I'm concerned about expanding the program," he said, "and I want to make sure that if we do it, we do it in a way that is helpful to children, does not reduce any of the requirements of the program; to make sure this does not go down a slippery slope."

By Vic A.
A season favored by many runners and anyone else who can appreciate escaping the humidity of Summer (finally!). The air is cooler, crisp and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Going from the lush green of Summer to the reds, oranges, browns, yellows of Fall is a transformation performance mother nature showcases that is quite the spectacle.
Most of us are getting ready to put away the tank tops we wore during our Summer runs. It's time to break out the cool weather apparel. Philadelphia Runner recently received the newest line of New Balance men's and women's Fall apparel and wow! From the Windcheater Jacket to the Heat Half Zip, their fall running apparel is made for comfort on the go - just in time for the arrival chillier weather.
I had the opportunity to try out the NB Heat Run Jacket. I really like how light weight it is and how the fleece material traps in the heat to keep you warm while still wicking the sweat away. The color is sleek, cool and edgy. It has a nice athletic fit design but more importantly the jacket is wind and water resistant. The reflective strips on both arm sleeve are a nice safety feature for running earlier or later in the day, providing some extra peace of mind. The hood is the scuba design giving you a nice, close fit on your head and the zippered front pocket is a convenient feature for quickly stashing small items safely and securely.
Look good and feeling comfortable on the run or on the go this fall. Stop by our shops and check out the New Balance Heat Run Jacket and other great New Balance apparel.

As part of Impact Fund's 25th anniversary we continue our look back on cases that made a difference...
The Impact Fund's grant to the Labor/Community Strategy Center to campaign against disinvestment in Los Angeles' bus system was one of its best investments. By the time the court relinquished jurisdiction two decades later, the case had resulted in over two billion dollars in benefits to the class of over 500,000 bus riders in Los Angeles.
Only the poor do not own a car in LA. Only the desperately poor took the historically overcrowded, poorly maintained Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTA) buses to work or to shop. By 1990, over 95 percent of bus riders were minority black or Latino. The deplorable condition of LA's public bus system was even cited by an official commission as a key cause of the 1963 LA riots.
Grassroots organization, the Labor/Community Strategy Center, founded the Bus Riders Union in the early 1990's as part of its campaign to prevent increases in fares, preserve the monthly bus pass, improve maintenance, and reduce overcrowding.
The issue touched a nerve and the Bus Riders Union had 20,000 members by the mid-90's.
After months of testifying at MTA meetings, demonstrations, and a full court press of agitation, the Bus Riders Union in 1993 faced certain defeat before the MTA, which wanted to divert money from inner city bus to new rail construction for suburban riders.
At that point, Eric Mann, the head of the Center, visited the Los Angeles office of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund to find out his legal options. We got a TRO restraining the proposed fare hike and the elimination of bus passes and loads of smoking gun discovery to prepare for an expedited trial.
Two years later, we had a settlement in place that put hundreds of thousands of dollars for maintenance and improvements, hundreds of new buses and a formula that eventually added thousands more new buses. The litigation helped propel the Bus Riders Union's organizing and the provision in the settlement for the Union's participation in a post-settlement Joint Working Group gave the Union a continuing role in County-wide transportation decision-making.
The case was a singular collaboration between heavy-weight organizers as clients and the original civil rights litigation law firm founded by Thurgood Marshall, a collaboration reminiscent of the March on Selma. The lawyers had to learn to litigate in an environment where the clients were constantly planning and mounting demonstrations.
The case was high visibility with the Center and Union adept at keeping the LA Times and television stations focused for months at a time on the issue and the case.
The case was a classic civil rights case involving poor minorities whose need for basic travel to jobs and for everyday life fell victim to the desire of public officials to serve rail riders from the better-off, mostly white suburbs and the lure of flashy new trains and ribbon-cutting at sparkling new train stations.
The case was put together the old-fashioned way, reviewing boxes of paper files, one document at a time in a compressed time frame. The discovery garnered for trial, revealed in a massive request to admit, was so raw and compelling that the MTA's decision to discuss settlement was unsurprising to the lawyers.
The inequities between the MTA's treatment of bus and rail was so stark that not only were transportation experts readily enlisted to testify, but the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank, weighed in against government waste in building rail lines that remain little utilized to this day.
The case was also remarkable as one of the few uses of Title VI of the original Civil Rights Act 1964, the law prohibiting recipients of federal funds to discriminate in using those funds. Because it was widely expected that the Supreme Court would bar disparate impact claims under Title VI, which it did do eventually, the lawyers' strategy was to build a strong case of intentional discrimination as well as disparate impact.
Last, the legal team was stellar. Besides Connie Rice and me, LDF lawyer Robert Garcia and Richard Larson for the ACLU of Southern California were the core team. Richard, who passed away last year, in particular, made sure that the MTA actually implemented the settlement for the benefit of bus riders in years of proceedings before the special master and 9th Circuit.

Child psychologist Dr. Anya Molokova has moved back to her hometown of Dublin, Ireland and works at MacNeice House, an adolescent mental health treatment center. She is asked to meet and assess Alex Connolly, a 10-year-old whose mother is hospitalized due to her latest suicide attempt. Alex has been self-harming, disruptive, and claims his imaginary friend, Ruen, is a demon and the one making him act the way he does. Anya has seen this behavior before and believes it is early on set schizophrenia, which Anya witnessed in her own daughter Poppy. While assessing and observing Alex, Anya starts to see strange things and she begins to question her diagnosis, making her wonder if Ruen is really real. The true diagnosis turns out to be shocking and not what Anya expected at all.
Wow. I could not put this book down, reading it in two days. The Boy Who Could See Demons was compelling, well written, and made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. I found both main characters, Anya and Alex, easy to relate to, even though I have no personal experience with either psychology or schizophrenia. The pace of the book was very fast but not distracting. Anya's story about her own daughter's fight with schizophrenia was emotional and heart-breaking, making her desire to help Alex all the more difficult.
Alex's demon, Ruen, at times seemed so real I couldn't help thinking that Alex wasn't imagining things. Alex is a very grown up 10-year-old, having to deal with his unstable mother almost his entire life, and that made his interactions with Anya as well as Ruen all the more believable. Ruen is what one would imagine a demon to be – manipulative, cruel, and deceptive. Ruen makes Alex ask questions of Anya that would be impossible for Alex to come up on his own, thus enveloping Anya into Ruen's dastardly plans. To say too much more would give too much of the story away.
The very end of the book takes a wholly unexpected turn that I absolutely did not see coming. This ending, however, did not make me mad and I thought it made sense. After reading this book I did some searching of other reviews to read what others thought of it. I found out that the UK version of this book, which was the original publication, is different from the US version. Needless to say this discovery drove me batty. I now need to pick up a copy of the UK version so I can read the author's original intent and ending to see how things differ.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to many others to read, though it may not appeal to everyone. Schizophrenia is not a light topic and The Boy Who Could See Demons approached it in a very real manner. This is a fiction book but I kept thinking to myself it could easily be an account of a real person. The imagery was vivid and I thought the author wrote about the subject manner with a great amount of respect and care.

Ginger Bread
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1/3 cup molasses
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Gingerbread (recipe above)
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 900g cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a medium bowl.
Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add egg, beating well. Beat in molasses. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, and beat until just combined. Wrapin plastic. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap exterior of a 9-inch springform pan in 2 layers of foil. On a generously floured piece of parchment, roll dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Brush off excess flour. Slide dough and parchment onto a baking sheet. Bake until firm and golden brown, about 14 minutes.
Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack. Break into large pieces, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground.
Combine butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and cookie crumbs in a bowl. Press mixture firmly and evenly into bottom and one-third of the way up sides of prepared pan. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool on rack.
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and the vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping sides of bowl as needed. Beat in molasses, salt, spices, and lemon zest. Pour filling into cooled crust.
Place cheesecake in a large, shallow roasting pan. Transfer to oven, and carefully add enough hot water to roasting pan to come about halfway up sides of springform pan.
Bake until cheesecake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, 60 to 65 minutes. Carefully remove springform pan from roasting pan, and let cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).
Before serving, run a hot knife around edges of cheesecake to loosen, and remove sides of pan.

I want The Pilot to unionize because our newsroom and the people we serve deserve better. Our bosses need to work harder to hire minorities who have shared experiences with the people we write about. They need to improve pay equity, specifically between men and women with the same amount of experience. They need to keep our newsroom as stable as possible while we go through a very turbulent change in ownership. I want to have the power to bargain for these things because, in the end, our newsroom will have a stronger voice for the people whose lives we're trying to improve.
I think we deserve better benefits, pay and working conditions. I think this will show our organization that we want to be recognized with all of the hard work and effort we put in every day.
As someone who's twice been laid off without warning in this business, I feel a strong need to protect myself and others from the possibility of that happening again. All journalists, who are so vital to keeping their communities honest and accountable, deserve better.
I support unionizing because it gives us, the journalists, a say in how our newsrooms operate. I don't believe our corporate owners have a desire to see the quality journalism done that our communities deserve. It's up to us to speak up for our communities. I think a union will improve our newsrooms because through a union we can fight for good wages, benefits and working conditions. Good wages, benefits and working conditions attract good journalists to our newsrooms and keep them there. Strong newsrooms make for strong communities.

The Mission of the Cambridge Guernsey County Health Department is to repeatedly try for improved high quality of life for all individuals in Guernsey County by selling well being, stopping illnesses and harm and assuring a safe, clean atmosphere. Heavy ranges of nitrates within the groundwater at D&D Farms came from industrial fertilizer, stated the evaluation by the Northeast Colorado Health Department in Sterling and the U.S. Geological Survey. Again we see the same pattern, with northern Michigan, Kentucky and West Virginia having very high charges and different places being lower. Repeal of the ACA would unravel much of the innovative work to strengthen preventive services that local public health has been engaged in for the past six years.
Wayne Allard present quite a few contacts between the regulators and Shattuck lawyer John Faught in 1991, when the agency and the Colorado Health Department agreed to let the company bury waste in the city. Careers in the mental well being discipline are very exciting and so they pay comparatively effectively. The Colorado Health Department, fearing the metro area would violate the brand new guidelines, had already decided to issue every day alerts for ozone, the chief ingredient in smog, starting June 1.
Health insurance enables these people to entry different preventive companies resembling mental well being and substance abuse treatment, smoking cessation and rehabilitation. There are some well being careers that concentrate on the young, and some that concentrate on the previous. Never as soon as did the agency – tasked with defending public health – difficulty even a warning letter, demanding enchancment. But the general public-well being division hasoperated this program in the midst of huge controversy andheated identify-calling.
A clay cap designed to include radioactive dust on a South Denver site will last 15 years at most, not 200 years as the public was promised, the Environmental Protection Agency's high disaster knowledgeable warned Saturday. Private residences, until used as a childcare, grownup day care, or health care facility, and except as provided in Section 1007.
The second approach that repeal of the ACA would impact public health has to do with new, innovative public health packages which were stood up over the previous six years leveraging alternatives within the ACA which could possibly be swept away. Thank you very much for the temporary history concerning the well being division institution, I want the division of public health could have some sort of historical past on their web web page. The best approach to stop West Nile disease or some other mosquito-borne sickness is to scale back the number of mosquitoes around your house and to take private precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

American restaurants – from a healthy trend to a healthy lifestyle
- Healthy menu options take the US restaurants by storm, striking healthy restaurants. While less than 1 percent of all US restaurants are classified as "healthy restaurants", 29% currently offer healthy menu options
- The state with the most restaurants offering healthy menu options is California (30,823/15%), while the state where it will be hardest to find healthy menu items is Vermont (361/0.2%)
- Consumers can find vegetarian options in 12% of all restaurants in the US offer vegetarian options
Eating out at restaurants is one of the most loved activities worldwide – whether it's on-the-go, simply avoiding cooking and casually eating out, or celebrating life events by pampering yourself with fine cuisine – restaurants are everywhere!
Putting that into numbers, as of January 2018 there are nearly 717,000 restaurants operating today in the US, half of them classified as Full-Service Restaurants (family style, casual dining, upscale dining and fine dining) and the other half, Limited-Service Restaurants (quick service, fast casual). 68% of US restaurants are independent owned, followed by major chains (23%), with over 500 units. The remaining locations are owned by smaller, regional chain operators.
Over the past few years, healthy dining has caught the attention of millions of consumers, changing menus across the nation and creating opportunities for new health-conscious operators. CHD Expert, a global leader in aggregating, analyzing, and managing foodservice data, evaluates healthy food operators and the healthy restaurants' landscape of the United States to highlight how new consumer behaviors evolve and drive innovative industry trends.
The "healthy restaurant" as a concept is showing a sharp decrease. According to our database, in 2017, only 0.28% of US restaurants were classified as "health restaurants", hitting the lowest point since its' initial increase, which started in 2014. The shift in the health trend is shown during 2017 – with a dramatic drop in the number of health food restaurants and a reduction of 19% in the opening of new healthy restaurants. The change in trend can also be shown when analyzing the annual sales of healthy restaurants, standing on $1,200 million in 2017.
This data contradicts the fact that the American public continues to consume healthy food way from home. The answer can be found with the increase in American restaurants discovering the potential of healthy menu items, as a way to provide their customers with more varied options and gain customers' loyalty – to be precise, 210,692 (29%) operators followed the trend. Most restaurants offering healthy menu items are major chains (61%, 129,456 op.), followed by independent owned (32%). If you want to learn more about the Independent Restaurants Landscape in the U.S. please click here.
The most common menu descriptor is vegetarian, offered in 12% of all US restaurants, followed by healthy options (7%), gluten-free (5%), vegan (4%) and organic (1%) options. This change in lifestyle is also shown in traditional fast food giants who are changing their menus to keep up with shifting consumer preferences.
It probably won't surprise anyone that California comes in first when it comes to offering healthy menu items, with a total of 30,823 restaurants (15% op.). States following California are Texas (14,301/7% op.), Florida (13,180/6% op.), New-York (10,406/5% op.) and Illinois (9,308/4% op.).
As more American consumers demand that their fast food incorporates more low-calorie ingredients and fresh produce, a new crop of healthy food chains is popping up. These rising companies offer nutritious dishes that are just as affordable, convenient, and tasty as the food served at chains like McDonald's and Taco Bell.
"We're trying to take these price points and get them compatible with – or lower than – traditional drive-thru fast food, but make them organic, large portions, and accessible to everyone," Roushan Christofellis, co-founder of a new chain called Salad and Go, told Business Insider. "Right now, organic food is very expensive and it's only available to the few who can afford it."
Now that we've covered all health dining, let's have a look into the future! Here are 3 food trends you'll see in 2018' – Whether it's different cultural foods, environmental awareness or unique recipe ingredients, restaurants and global companies alike are constantly evolving to provide more of what we as consumers look for in our food. Here are the top food trends you'll see in the coming year.
Food bowls
Aesthetically pleasing and Instagram-worthy, food bowls are nutritious meals with endless customization. Whether it's the brightly colorful fruit-stacked acai bowl, a Hawaii-inspired fish, vegetable, and rice poke bowl, or a hearty and nourishing grain-based bowl, expect to find more bowl-based recipes and meal options in the near future. I'm sure you heard about the Poke phenomenon, this new Hawaiian dish growing up in the fast-casual segment as Aloha Poké Co. or Poké Bar … Keep an eye on this trend!
Middle Eastern spices
Herbs and spices make for a memorable Middle Eastern meal. Adding bold flavor and color to any dish, expect to see more exotic blends like Za'atar, Ras el Hanout, Sumac, and Baharat, along with caraway seeds, cardamom, aniseed and turmeric in recipes from professional chefs, bloggers, and cookbooks.
Fermented foods
When a yeast or bacteria converts sugar into acid, gas or alcohol, fermentation occurs. Wine and beer demonstrate the microbiology of food at its finest but fermented foods have taken over the food industry. For the proclaimed health enthusiast, products like kombucha that you can savor at the first kombucha room in Chicago, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and cider, are creating a lot of buzz due to their many digestive health benefits.

A battle is raging over the Astor fortune.
The main beneficiary is accused of scheming with others to drain the estate. The deceased, it is alleged, did not have the mental capacity to execute the will. Document experts have been asked to examine the authenticity of the will, the credibility of the witnesses to its signing has been questioned and the court fight has been a headline-grabbing sensation.
Sound familiar?
It might. But this probably is not the case you are thinking of.
The year was 1959. John Jacob Astor VI accused Brooke Russell Astor of using "improper conduct and undue influence" to persuade her husband, Vincent Astor, who had died from a heart attack at 67, to change his will. When Vincent signed off on his will, he "was mentally deficient," claimed John Jacob, his half brother.
Now, half a century later, Mrs. Astor, who died two years ago at 105, is again at the center of a tug of war over one of New York City's most venerable and benevolent family fortunes — only this time it is her will and mental state that are being probed.
Opening statements are scheduled Monday in the criminal trial of Mrs. Astor's son, Anthony D. Marshall, who is accused of taking advantage of her diminished mental state as a result of Alzheimer's disease to force her into changing her will and direct millions his way. Francis X. Morrissey Jr., a lawyer who worked on Mrs. Astor's estate, is also facing fraud and forgery charges.
Although this case, which involves criminal allegations, is more serious than the 1959 dispute, which was settled in surrogate's court, they share subplots of manipulation, greed and plenty of fodder for the news media. And there is, of course, the Astor name.Continue reading the main story
"This is one of the great American fortunes," said Meryl Gordon, author of a book, "Mrs. Astor Regrets," about the controversy over Mrs. Astor's will. "It seems amazing that, half a century later, there would still be fighting over this."
Fights over wills are quite common. But when it comes to the Astors — the first millionaire family in the United States — every bequest and every redirected penny can alter the fortunes of an institution, a charity or a person.
In her will, Mrs. Astor may have left a clue to her views on challenges to her intentions — a clause states that anyone who unsuccessfully challenges her will in surrogate's court will be dropped from it.
"She's saying, 'I hope you don't contest the will, and if you do contest the will, you're going to get penalized by me,' " said Ira M. Bloom, a professor at Albany Law School who specializes in trusts and estates law.
Vincent Astor inherited a fortune estimated at more than $87 million when his father, John Jacob IV, died on the Titanic in 1912. (The Astor fortune came to the United States from Germany in the 1780s with the first John Jacob Astor, who acquired his wealth through the fur trade and real estate.)
Vincent plunged into a variety of lucrative ventures including real estate and hotels, offshore oil drilling, sugar cane and the news media. He was also was a major philanthropist, creating the Vincent Astor Foundation for "the alleviation of human misery."
John Jacob VI, who was born to his father's second wife four months after the Titanic sank, was far different. His late-night rendezvous were the stuff of tabloid headlines. He was often called a playboy and found himself married to two women at once — the divorce he obtained from his second wife in Mexico was invalid because she did not consent; he married a third woman anyway.
While John Jacob was left out of the will, Mrs. Astor got $2 million, virtually all of her husband's property and possessions, and interest from a trust fund that was part of a $127 million estate.
On July 14, 1959, John Jacob's lawyer, Harry H. Lipsig, filed a petition in surrogate's court in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., claiming that Vincent's will was not valid because he "was suffering from senility and was lacking in testamentary capacity" when he signed the will. He was tricked into signing the will, Mr. Lipsig wrote, by Mrs. Astor and the administrators of the estate, Luke B. Lockwood and Allan W. Betts.
Mr. Lipsig argued that Mrs. Astor had conspired to access Vincent's fortune even before she married him in 1953. He suggested in a court filing that "Vincent Astor was drunk almost every afternoon for several years prior to his death," and that he had reason to believe "that persons were taking advantage of him on many occasions."
After 1939, Vincent changed his will or entered amendments 26 times, and John Jacob received nothing in any of them, according to an affidavit filed by William S. Gaud, the lawyer for the administrators of the estate. Mrs. Astor, during a pretrial hearing, offered the reason she believed John Jacob was left out of the will.
Vincent "had nothing but contempt for him," she said. "He thought he was the most useless, worthless member of society and he despised him because he was a slacker and a draft evader."
She said her husband "winced when he saw the name Astor dragged through the papers."
Mrs. Astor even hired a public relations firm to give the news media regular updates about the case, a move that Mr. Lipsig objected to fiercely.
"The thing that stunned me was that how, so early on, Brooke knew the value of publicity and how to manipulate the press," said Frances Kiernan, author of the biography "The Last Mrs. Astor."
Louis Auchincloss, a lawyer and a longtime friend of Mrs. Astor's, said there was little doubt that Vincent was mentally competent in his final years.
"He was smart as a whip," said Mr. Auchincloss, 91. "He was a very disagreeable man, but he was smart; very hard to get along with, but he had a perfectly good mind."
Mrs. Astor ended up paying John Jacob $250,000 to settle the case, an amount, Mr. Auchincloss said, that would have been less than the lawyers' fees if the case had gone to trial.Continue reading the main story
