But slowly I felt the problem was, my attorneys were also Americans. Perhaps deep down they were also wanting the commune to be destroyed, that I should not by any chance be victorious in the case. I am not saying that they were intentionally or consciously doing that, but the unconscious plays so many games. They were paid, highly paid, so they were fighting for me, but they were fighting for money. They were not fighting for truth. They believed that they were fighting for truth, but I did not see a single instance.except my own sannyasin, Niren, who is also an attorney. He was my attorney, but he is a younger man and some of those attorneys were his professors, some were nationally famous people. So obviously he could not fight against them.
But there came a moment when even he felt.because once a person is a sannyasin, he is no more an American, he is no more an Indian. He came to me in the jail to say that one of our most important attorneys - and he had been Niren's professor; he is the head of the law department of the University of California, Peter Schey - was not ready to make a statement under the oath of truth. Without the oath he was ready, but if the oath had to be taken then he would not make a certain statement.
I cannot conceive that an oath can make any difference to any man of understanding. This was simply a strategy not to make the statement, because that statement would have changed the whole course of things. I told Niren, "Pull Peter Schey back and you go on the stand and you make the statement."
And what is an oath? In fact an honest man will refuse to take the oath. I myself have refused to take the oath. The reason is clear: if you ask me to take the oath you are certainly insulting me; you are telling me that without the oath I cannot speak the truth. You are telling me that only under oath am I reliable. And that means my whole life is a life of lies. Nobody is taking an oath every moment - before making a statement, first he takes the oath, touches the Bible and says, "It is nine o'clock."
The first time I appeared in an Indian court, I refused. The magistrate was shocked. He said, "Why are you refusing?"
I said, "There are many reasons. First, on what book do you want me to put my hand? The Bible? Even the contemporaries of Jesus did not believe him, and the man was put on the cross. He was considered a greater criminal than any other criminal by his whole contemporary world. And you want me to put my hand on his book?"
He said, "No, you can put your hand on Bhagavad Gita."
I said, "Then you are going from bad to worse, because this man Krishna has stolen sixteen hundred wives from people, married women, and he himself was not a man of his word or promise. He has broken his promises, he has gone against his own word, and you want me to put my hand on his book? Then I will have to wash my hands!"
The magistrate said, "Then forget about the books. You simply say yourself that whatever you say will be true."
I said, "You don't understand even simple logic. If I am a man of lies, what is the problem for me to say that whatever I say will be true? It is still going to be a lie. Either you accept me as a man of truth.but don't ask for an oath."

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red
Loved the friendship between these two.
This is my newest favorite thing.
I SHIPPED TOBY AND CJ SO HARD. Except I also love Danny. And Mark Harmon. THIS SHOW JUST GIVES ME SO MANY FEELS.

This method of binding is best for quilts with curved edges since it uses strips that are cut along the bias (diagonally across the fabric), and are therefore stretchier. To join the strips of fabric, lay one strip on top of the other at a right angle, with right sides facing, and stitch across the diagonal so that when you open the two strips, they lie straight. The binding is then attached by aligning the raw edge of the binding material with the raw edge of the quilt sandwich, right sides facing, and sewing through all three layers of the quilt, usually using a ¼" seam allowance. To finish, the binding is folded over and attached to the front of the quilt using a slip stitch, similar to straight strip binding.

Awful. Its even runnier than VO5 it felt almost like I was using plain water. It made my hair look fried and dead. If you're looking for something not weighing, cone free, and cheap VO5 was much better than this.

I think this is my favorite fragrance and I like how it works. You can put tons in your hair and afterward, skin and hair are soft. It's silicone and protein free, and light but effective. The Naturals don't all have the same feel though. This one is clumpier than the apple or ocean breeze. It looks almost waxy in your hands. In your hair, it glides on nicely though. But whatever version you choose, you will have light hair with minimal buildup, especially if you use a clarifying shampoo. Brushing is easier. Less hair fallout. Better than a lot of expensive brands. :) UPDATE: fyi, after CO washing with this or any conditioner, you might need a good cleansing with shampoo. Although this is a great product, it can build up, so every few days or so, I clarify by just really lathering up, then use a light leave-in rather than a rinse conditioner. That helps keep my hair and scalp in check. But I'd say this doesn't build up very much at all.
EDIT: Been using HE shampoo/condish but this one is great for a very minimal leave-in. When my hair rejects rinse conditioners, I use a touch of this or another Suave on my wet hair, brush through, and leave it alone. Some of the build-up people experience, IMO, is caused by over-use of rinses. Cones or not, hair is coated. So I relieve the problem by skipping in-shower conditioners from time to time. This may not work for everyone, but I don't think cones are The Enemy. It's how much and how often rinses are used.

If you're in a pinch, (especially with money) and you need a good drugstore conditioner, this is a good option. Leaves hair soft and silky, smells clean, and is only 99 cents. The smell isn't super strong like some fruity conditioner.

Great stuff! I use this for co-washing sometimes and as a regular conditioner after shampoo other times, and it works wonderfully for both. I was wary about the scent based on the name, as I hate scents that are described as "fresh" and "clean" in general; I prefer more earthy scents. But when I sniffed it in the store, I was pleasantly surprised that it actually smells lightly herbal, and not overpowering in the least. I'm still going to try out other Suave scents, but it's likely that I will keep this on hand as well, because I enjoy the scent and the performance is wonderful.

This Suave Waterfall Mist Conditioner makes your hair feel and look soft and healthy and also the scent lasts longer than any other conditioner/shampoo. I recommend getting the shampoo if you get the conditioner it makes you hair feel extra shiny and soft. This product costs $1.00 each bottle. It saves you some $ and makes your hair look and feel healthy. I totally recommend this!

Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Olive Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
This is probably one of the best drugstore conditioners I have ever come across. It smells great, its cheap, and most of all, it makes my hair feel super soft and silky, even while i am rinsing it. The formula is very runny, hence my rating of 4 stars, but the bottle is about $1 depending on where you purchase it. It smells divine, like i would imagine a waterfall mist to smell like in its purest state. It's better than my Pantene, Dove, Garnier Fructis conditioners because it never dried my hair out. Unfortunately, since I have long hair, I used one bottle in 2 weeks. I suggest everyone try this conditioner out. For $1, it's delightful!

Suave Refreshing Waterfall Mist gives me the refreshing smell of cleanliness and freshness.
Smell aside, this worked pretty well on my hair. It definitely smoothed it out and made it more silky. Hair was easier to brush after using. Will buy again

I have very curly hair (3b n 3c) and I use this as my washing conditioner. This is when you use conditioner to was the hair instead of shampoo. Because its cheap, I also use it along with my mane and tail and castor oil as a leave in conditioner. I get it from cvs for 2.99. Remember to shake it though, I find that sometimes its watery but if I give it a little shake, it'll thicken up slightly.

It's here…..trade deadline day in the National Hockey League with the New York Islanders expected to be continued sellers after moving Andrew MacDonald to the Flyers yesterday.
Thomas Vanek is expected to fetch a 1st round draft pick plus a prospect when he is finally moved today. And to be honest, it would not be surprising to see another Islander have to change his address as well.
I cannot imagine many outside of John Tavares, Travis Hamonic, Ryan Strome, Brock Nelson and Calvin de Haan being so safe that they have absolutely nothing to worry about.
I held out on this edition as long as I can to squeeze some of the better deadline day tweets in and there were some beauties. One that does not even involve the Islanders but needs to be included regardless.
No comments today as the tweets speak for themselves….

In 1987, the term 'sustainability' officially shifted from financial to environmental when Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland in a key United Nations report coined the original definition, "Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs." Two decades later, we've come full circle and corporations are seeing the financial power and business case of focusing on the environment.
To gain perspective on how CEOs view sustainability, on August 16, 2011 I moderated a discussion on efficient sustainability with five business leaders: Greg Babe, CEO, Bayer Corporation; J.P. DeJoria, co-founder & CEO, John Paul Mitchell Systems (and owner Patron Spirits Company); Diane Gulyas, President, DuPont Performance Polymers, Tim Espy, Leader, Strategy and Transformation, IBM; and Bob Shapard, CEO, Oncor & Chairman of the GridWise Alliance. Following are verbatim answers from the executives on 5 key issues: 1. organization view; 2. advancing sustainability; 3. engaging staff; 4. business community; 5. shareholders.
1. How does your organization view sustainability?
Greg Babe, Bayer: "What I'm most proud of is the fact that we realize that there is a very solid business case for sustainability. Our mission is Science For A Better Life. And the science part is all around our innovation and how we decide to use our discretionary dollars to drive innovation. And we basically drive that through megatrends. And those megatrends include a growing and aging population. As the population continues to grow, there will be an even greater demand for available food on a global level. This same population will continue to grow older and live longer and we must be prepared to care for these people. We're also focused on the third megatrend of energy efficiency – or how we manage the increasingly scarce natural resources – which is leading to new innovations in energy-efficient building designs and lightweight automobiles."
Diane Gulyas, DuPont: "From 1990 until present day we have reduced energy use by 6 percent while our company has grown 40%.We estimate over that period of time that we've saved $6 billion of energy running our factories around the world. But probably the thing I'm most proud of is that we've now transitioned from being footprint-focused to being market-focused."
John Paul DeJoria, John Paul Mitchell Systems (& Patron): "I think besides your own company and what we're doing right now for our yearly profits, we have to look into the future and what we have to do for sustainability to have customers in 10 and 20 years that are living a decent way of life to buy our good products."
Bob Shapard, Oncor & GridWise Alliance: "What you find in big, large industrial concerns is they're fairly sophisticated in how they consume energy. What you don't find is with individual consumers in their own personal lives in residential homes they don't consume energy smart at all. They're not given the information to do it.
What we're trying to do at GridWise is enable consumers by advancing the grid, providing them real-time information about their energy consumption so they can make better decisions. We make decisions all day long on consuming energy, but we have no idea what the environmentally cost impact of those decisions are. What we're finding is if you'll give consumers real-time information they're going to use it smart – it's the equivalent of putting a speedometer in a car. And if we would give consumers real-time information about the impact of their decisions they'll use – studies have shown they'll easily use 10% less energy.
If we could install advanced meters around this country, if we could give consumers more real-time information about what their usage – the impact of their usage is, we would dramatically change the equation."
Tim Espy, IBM: "Sustainability is a topic that IBM's really passionate about. Our view is that we now live in a world that's becoming a system of systems and that is a world of multiplicity and diversity. Given that, we believe that for effective action there's got to be collaboration across organizations, not just within one specific organization."
2. How can we advance sustainability?
John Paul DeJoria, John Paul Mitchell Systems & Patron: "Sustainability is becoming so important not just with our companies but other companies. We started the site, www.jpselects.com where people can find and shop the inventory of sustainable companies; the day we launched, which was two months ago, we had 103 million hits!"
Greg Babe, Bayer: "I think it is important to share best practices in sustainability within our industries, so each year I send a copy of our sustainability report to my industry peers. Along with the report, I send a letter and invite them to send me a copy of their sustainability report and activities. This cross-industry sharing will help all of us as we consider new ways to be more sustainable in our operations."
Bob Shapard, Oncor & GridWise Alliance: "Electric vehicles will be one of the big, big changes we make in this country over the next 20 years and so renewable sources are going to be a real key to fueling this. Battery technology will be the key. Five years from now the range of these batteries will be twice what it is today and the cost will be half what it is today. Ten years from today if we could get to 10% penetration in this country, 10% of the cars, that would have a dramatic effect on the environment. And if we ever get to 20 or 25, it's a game changer. And there's nothing that can have a more dramatic effect on environment in this country than getting traditional internal combustion engines off the road."
3. How do you engage staff?
Diane Gulyas, DuPont: "About 25 years ago we started a sustainable growth award. And we encouraged employees all across the world, all 65,000 employees, to submit their best ideas of successes. And we were overwhelmed at what we got. Every year we get hundreds of applications. But what I think is interesting about it is it's judged by an external panel of judges who are experts in the field of the environment. We're pretty excited about how we use that kind of vehicle to get people really excited about the work and being recognized for their work."
John Paul DeJoria, John Paul Mitchell Systems (& Patron): "This year we'll graduate about 14,000 students from Paul Mitchell Cosmetology Schools, and part of their required curriculum is sustainability."
4. What do you see happening in the business community?
Tim Espy, IBM: "We've recently released a report on sustainability strategy. We looked at about 350 companies across a multiple of industries; most of those companies were over $1 billion in sales. 88% of those companies had a sustainability strategy in place but when we dug a little bit deeper what we saw was really about 8% of the companies were real "leaders" or "innovators." Those 8% they all reported significant economic value that directly attributed to those sustainability programs. These leaders received value not only in terms of reduced cost but also top line growth and reduced risk."
5. What is the relationship between shareholders and sustainability?
Diane Gulyas, DuPont: What we think really is exciting to our shareholders is this idea that our mission is sustainable growth and enabling our company to continue to grow both now and in the future in partnership with our customers in a very inclusive way. So it's the idea of bringing this inclusive innovation to solving the megatrends of the world where our science has applicability.

All of a sudden, I miss Danielle so much.
I was not a huge fan of Danielle before, I mean, I did support them a great deal but I was always more into Eleanor or Perrie.
But now, Dani is gone and Sophia had replaced her place…
Yeah, course it was Liam's choice and it seems like he's so into Sophia and he is happy so thats what all matters.
At least, I'm try to think that way.
But as I thought more and more 'bout that, I started to miss Dani much more than ever.
Now I can see how big her space was.
Liam was always smiling-a true smile-when he was with Dani, but these days, it's so hard to see Liam smiling.
Maybe it's just he's got tired of the mass media's attention and all those fu*kin' paps but he doesn't look really happy these days.
It's like, Liam was the daddy and Dani wad the mommy of 1D, and after they broke up, a new stepmothet came but no one seems to like her, still.
I do respect Liam and Sophia.
But think about it, Sophia was never interested in Liam in the past.
She took Liam right after Liam turned single, don't you think so?
If Liam really loves her, maybe I should try to like her but I'm not really sure if I will be able to.
Thank you for reading this:)

Greetings Texans Fans!
In the second quarter, when the Houston Texans were in position to score another touchdown and put the Seattle Seahawks away, they played predictable small ball again. Result, field goal. That is the story of this game.
The first quarter was so so, the second quarter the Texans were in a rhythm, they were explosive and going down field. But as the lead grew, the Texans quit taking chances, reverted to the Texans of the last nine games.
What did we get?
A heartbreaking loss that should never have happened. Last week, I called for benching Matt Schaub. I also said Gary Kubiak needs to get out of his comfort zone and let it all hang out. We saw that, for an entire quarter. But that wasn't enough. After taking a lead it was safe short plays and very little moving the ball up the field.
Kubiak went soft.
No killer instinct, no drive to put the game away it was just take the lead and go small.
Trust your offense, let the dice roll a little. The defense was doing pretty darned well till Brian Cushing went down.
Trust them.
DeAndre Hopkins' first catch coming with 53 seconds in the FOURTH QUARTER was unacceptable to the extreme. I didn't see him covered all that well, so why are you not unleashing him?
"Gee, we've been pretty weak offensively most of the young season … we got this great young receiver that has shown he can get it done. I know … let's run the ball up the middle and control the clock against the best team in the NFL! Yeah that's gonna win this game!"
Seriously, you get ahead and put the game out of reach, not get a lead then manage it, cause everyone is expecting that! That's part of why Seattle was able to defeat the play action roll out for a pick six!
They saw it coming!
Schaub made a piss poor throw, that certainly didn't help at all. One quarter you had us, you had us cheering, high fives and faith soaring that maybe the Texans coaching staff got the picture. Get creative, get aggressive, be the team we all know is ready to make a run at the Super Bowl.
Good luck at not hitting the bye week with a losing record.
The defense is doing it's job. J.J. Watt and Antonio Smith double Ninja/Salute on a sack was a defining moment. Whitney Mercilus was a beast out there. Cushing, prior to the concussion, played in a way that exemplified why he got paid 56 Million. You couldn't ask for better defense through pretty much the entire game. They can't win every game for you, a little bravado from the offense is sorely needed.
Three points in the first half, the high-flying Seahawks shut down. The defense was out there too much, and when the offense is giving away points they will lose.
This loss rests solely on the shoulders of Kubiak. Bottom line!
The read option, scourge of the NFL last year is being contained fairly well this year. Why is that? Because defenses are keying on it. You think if they can figure that out, they can figure out the Texans predictable offense. You can only keep doing the same things over-and-over so many times before you start getting beat. That's exactly what is going on here.
Bill Belichick figured this out last December, and every team has been playing the Texans on those lines. It's time to shake it up, it's time to get crazy. It's time for Kubiak to get an injection of Wade Phillips machismo and risk taking.
Playing it safe is no longer an option for the Texans, go big, or go home.

How to Save our Biodiversity
04 Dec 13
What is biodiversity? Why is it important to protect it? What can each of us do? To respond to these questions and to supply tools useful to the entire association and those who want to contribute to this project, the Slow Food Foundation - thanks to the help of agronomists, university lecturers, specialists and producers - is creating educational materials on biodiversity, the Ark of Taste and Slow Food Presidia. Today, three downloadable booklets and one video are available online.
The booklets explain the meaning of biodiversity and how it relates to our daily food, and describe, with concrete examples and practical activities, how to protect them through Slow Food's Ark of Taste and Presidia projects.
You too can help us save biodiversity!
Download the booklets and pass them on to your friends, producers, chefs, students or anyone interested in protecting the incredible world of food biodiversity that surrounds us.
Available in English and Italian (and coming soon in Spanish, French, Portuguese and German), the booklets are available to download from www.slowfoodfoundation.com.

BC News
Kitimat votes on pipeline
Residents of Kitimat will cast votes in a local plebiscite Saturday for or against the multibillion-dollar Northern Gateway pipeline.
The District of Kitimat has remained neutral on the $6-billion project, but the vote will decide council's position.
"We'll see what the people of Kitimat want," said Mayor Joanne Monaghan.
The city on the North Coast would be the end of the pipeline and home of the marine terminal for loading oil onto tankers. Kitimat council's neutral stance went so far as to keep the city from participating in a federal review panel on the project.
That panel recommended in December that the pipeline be approved, subject to 209 conditions.
Kitimat residents are being asked: Do you support the final report recommendations of the Joint Review Panel (JRP) of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and National Energy Board, that the Enbridge Northern Gateway project be approved, subject to 209 conditions set out in Volume 2 of the JRP's final report?
It's a question about "as hard to nail to the wall as a bit of Jell-O," said Murray Minchin, a volunteer with the grassroots Douglas Channel Watch.
He describes a campaign that has been outspent, outmanned and outmanoeuvred from the outset. Enbridge's campaign started months — if not years — ago, Minchin said.
They faced no spending limits, as provincial election laws didn't apply to the municipal vote. Northern Gateway had paid canvassers, full-page ads, glossy brochures, a new website and billboards, Minchin said. They ran an annual campaign for youth that saw 50 iPads distributed to essay contest winners, he added.
And yet, Minchin is hopeful the vote will go his way.
"Four weeks ago we had $200 in the bank. Then we started making lawn signs and started putting those around town and people started coming up to us in the street and handing us money," he said.
"Somebody even anonymously dropped off a $2,000 money order into one of our mailboxes. Then we got a website that had a donate button."
More than $14,000 and 2,000 doorsteps later, Douglas Channel Watch members believe opponents of the pipeline outnumber supporters 3:1.
"Our goal will be to try to get all of those people who said they were going to vote No to actually get out and vote Saturday," Minchin said.
Ballots will be counted this weekend and Kitimat council is scheduled to meet Monday night to discuss the results.

It is more like a scone than a biscuit. I did not put the glaze on it because I made them to go with the split pea soup. DH broke his into pieces and added it to his soup.
I received the confirmation packet in the mail yesterday. I was wondering if I am going to wimp out if the weather is cold. The other day we got 9 inches of snow. My back hurts from shoveling the driveway of the snow from the 2 snowfall before that. (We hired a plow for the big one).
But, I tell myself that the cold should not matter because while I was shoveling the snow I was outside for a longer time than my anticipated finish time. So I can withstand the cold. I guess the first year they did this race (2008) they say we had blizzard-like condition. OK, if the weather is like that, I'll be a wimp.
We had a sunny day yesterday and I went to town for the library book sale and decided to run in town since the roads are plowed better there than closer to home. First, I ran with my granddaughter so we could do our "homework" for the running class. We ran 1.5 miles. Then I left her with her auntie and I went for a 7 miler. It felt so good. My time was not the greatest, but I felt strong while running.
Even so, it is causing me to wonder if I will be able to finish in 2:30 (last year's time was 2:41). I trained well on the treadmill for most of the winter but this last month I felt like I spent more time shoveling snow than I did running.
I am looking forward to seeing how i'll do.
I am thinking I officially dropped out. I made day 1 recipes and ate the leftovers for a few days. However, by day 4 or 5 my body was screaming, "GREENS! I WANT GREENS" I love eating a huge salad as the main part of my meal.
I am a vegetable eater and I love my veggies, but McDougall program just doesn't seem to have enough in it for me.
I am finding myself eating junk food again and worst of all, I am hiding my stash so DH doesn't find it and eat it on me. Emotionally, I am dealing with some issues and I think that is my reason for eating the junk food. Last night as I was finishing off that bag of peanut M&M's I was noticing that the only good tasting thing about them was the peanut.
Today, is a new day and my M&M bag is empty and it is time to focus on food, real food.
This was a repeat of day 1 because we had left overs. I feel like I lasted one day. My husband is not on board at all because my schedule is too full right now and I have not had time to prepare meals in advance. However, I do not think it matters much because even if I have the meals prepped and ready to go, if I am not there for the meal he eats whatever he wants.
I guess that is the key to success in any way of eating, you'll eat whatever you want. If you want to make the changes you will. Our son-in-law's stepdad is recovering from an incident that landed him in the emergency room. He had blood sugar reading of 750. They were surprised he was not in a coma.
That got my hubby thinking about his situation, but so far he has not made changes. As a matter of fact, I am finding my "stashes" gone. I am now seeing what I once looked like, hunting through the cupboards looking for that forgotten "treasure" that was put out of sight out of mind. And then gobbling it up once it was found.
I am also finding that education is very helpful in what one chooses to eat. Our food supply is not the same as it was 10 - 20 years ago. Today it is hard to find items that are packaged and/or canned that are not full of added "stuff" that is not really food but instead are flavor enhancers or preservatives. Things that our bodies are not really designed to handle.
I have two grandsons that were both born prematurely. Here is a picture of the youngest. He was born 10 1/2 weeks early:
Here he is today almost 2 years later:
My daughter got into financial difficulties because of injuries she got from a car accident when she was about 5 months pregnant and ended up losing her job then apartment. We took her in and at that time we were following Joel Furhaman's eat to live program principles: 1 pound raw and 1 pound cooked vegetables and the salad is the main part of the meal.
When that baby was born he was strong and they released him from the ICU 1 month earlier than anticipated because he was doing so well. My daughter has fibromyalgia and she noticed the pain lessened during that time.
I use that for my motivation to eat healthier and so does she. But old habits are hard to break.
Change will happen one choice at a time, but you have to make the choice.
Snow is in the forecast again, another 5-8" possible. April 27th is my half marathon date. I've been wimpy with the cold this year. My cross training has been shoveling snow. I am not sure how I will fare with that.
If I do go, my goal will be to complete and just run my best.

Rumors continue to swirl about the status of Department of Homeland Security Chief Information Officer Richard Spires, who recently went on leave without explanation.
It turns out, the department is definitely searching for a CIO. It just happens to be for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, not DHS overall.
USAJobs continues to advertise the position, currently held by acting CIO Rob Thomas II, who took over in February.
The position pays between $119,000 and $179,000 per year, and the ad says it will remain open through May 6.

If you think the 20th century's teen years look an awful lot like those of the 21st – massive technological change and fault lines breaking open between the one and the 99% – you're quite right. In the most recent season of the rare PBS hit, Downton Abbey the British aristocracy is reeling from post-World War I modernization.
Lord and Lady Grantham and their privileged kin are entering the jazz age and the heading toward the collapse of Wall Street (Lord Grantham having brought his family to near ruin by investing in the stock market). Those who are "to the manor born" are worrying about the collapse of the aristocracy as an institution – an inevitable collapse caused by the paired sins of mismanagement and entitlement to rule.
EnTITLEment, after all, is rooted in the grant of a "title" to an estate or real property and an accompanying honorific (Lord and Lady Grantham).
Moving Past "No"
Secret soap opera pleasures aside, Downton Abbey has something to teach us about embracing change if we are to survive the transformations of culture and society that shape us. In the penultimate episode, it is the chauffeur-turned-privileged-son-in-law, Tom Branson, a firey Irish radical, who finally "gets" the Granthams well enough to convince the Lord of the Manor that old values will not crumble if new wealth strategies are employed.
As that episode begins, Lord Grantham is the final family hold-out to modernizing the lands on which tenant farmers have lived for generations. He's been bailed out of his devastating Wall Street investment by his new son in law, Matthew Crawley and has accepted co-management of his estate.
Crawley and Tom Branson are making plans to buy out willing farmers so that the plots can be consolidated and innovative technology put to work.
Nothing can convince Grantham to go along with the next generation's plans. Absent modernization, argue the sons-in-law, Downton will fail. Tom and Matthew build alliances with the women and even Grantham's wife gets on board. Even she! he says, has turned against him.
No matter how persuasive the arguments, Lord Grantham rejects them as being an existential threat to his way of life. The idea of success in "trade" sickens him. He's not a tradesman nor a professional nor a manager. He's a Lord, dammit! and it will not do to tell him to value something he does not.
The Negotiation Lesson
Matthew has just left the breakfast table to inspect the land. He's invited Grantham to come along. Grantham rejects the proposal, stating he won't be of much use. This is a red flag to a negotiator. Grantham wants to be of use. Putting that in his back pocket, Tom attempts to ingratiate Grantham to Matthew, telling him how much Matthew values Grantham's support.
Tom, an outsider, has a far better opportunity to step outside the aristocratic "box" and assess Lord Grantham's interests – that is – his wants, needs, desires, preferences, priorities, attitudes toward risk and predictions about the future. In this episode, what Tom finally gets are Lord Grantham's values.
The Lord has, for several episodes, been shouting those values both in his words and his deeds. His primary purpose is to take care of the township, most of which is dependent on him. It's not just the "downstairs" part of the abbey that needs his care taking, but the tenant farmers and the merchants who thrive off of their production.
Tom's "Pitch"
I wish I had the actual script, but here's the gist of how Tom moved Lord Grantham past impasse.
I understand from watching, Tom says, that everyone who marries or is born into this family is required to sacrifice individual desire to the welfare of Downton. Matthew, he says, contributes his knowledge as a manager and tradesman. I contribute what I know about farming, Tom adds, having grown up on a sheep farm.
Here comes the deal-clincher. Only you, says Tom, know the people of Downton and know how to care for them. Only you, Tom continues, actually care. That is your contribution, your obligation, your value, your purpose.
Finally, Grantham agrees but only on one condition.
Grantham always has "one condition" because he needs to have the last word, to get the last concession from his negotiation partner. Because he must save face and that is what Tom is helping him to do while at the same time fulfilling the needs we all have to find in our work - autonomy, purpose and mastery.
Play in the town cricket match on the "house" team, Grantham says. An entreaty Tom has repeatedly rejected.
It is the period at the end of the negotiation's sentence.
Tom has subordinated his individuality to the greater good but Grantham needs assurances that the greater good includes fealty to tradition.
Tom says "yes" and Grantham concurs with the plan. With that, a successful classic interest-based negotiation concludes.

Tweets, tours, true friendship and a song about the Tin Man? You're gonna want to step inside the wonderful world of Kacey Musgraves and Katy Perry.
There's that famous line The Wizard of Oz when heroine Dorothy finally makes it to the doorstep of the Great and Powerful: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."
In a business often built with the help of smoke and mirrors, I'd normally argue that's a fair statement. But that's not the case with Musgraves and Perry. The two CMT Crossroads collaborators have formed a friendship and musical kinship that's the real deal.
What started off as simple mutual respect and fandom turned to mutual tweeting. The next thing you know, they're co-writing songs and touring together.
The song they've written relates to the famous book and film, Musgraves said in a recent interview with Billboard.
"I brought some ideas, and we actually ended up writing a pretty cool song," she said. "It's loosely based on Dorothy's version of The Wizard of Oz, her being in love with the Tin Man, but he didn't have a heart. And hopefully maybe something will happen with it down the road. Either way, it's cool to step out of my zone and write for somebody else."
Who knows? Maybe she'll have a monster pop hit on her hands in the near future. She's already snagged a No. 1 country hit for co-writing Miranda Lambert's "Mama's Broken Heart." Musgraves also recently celebrated the platinum certification of her debut single, "Merry Go 'Round"
In the meantime, Musgraves and Perry can simply gal pal it up and enjoy each other's company on the road. Musgraves is currently opening Perry's Prismatic tour which plays Wednesday (Aug. 20) in Lincoln, Nebraska, before heading for shows in Minnesota, North Dakota and Canada.
Check out their performance of "Keep It to Yourself" from CMT Crossroads.

INDIANAPOLIS – House Republicans on Wednesday unveiled a legislative agenda that aligns closely with that of Gov. Mike Pence with a few key differences.
"We've identified many of the same concerns," Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma said. "The details may differ."
One thing missing in the caucus' priority list is the constitutional ban on gay marriage and civil unions.
"It's no doubt one of the hundreds of issues that we will have to deal with this session, but it's not part of our agenda," said Bosma, who said there are a lot of different opinions on the issue.
Instead, he focused on a proposal to cut the business personal property tax assessed on equipment. This tax brings in about $1 billion annually to local schools and governments.
Pence has suggested a full-scale elimination without giving details on how the money would be replaced – if at all. House Republicans are focusing on giving counties the option to permanently exempt new equipment.
It is a similar approach to how the inventory tax was eliminated years ago.
Bosma said the proposal would not allow the exemption if a business moved from county to county.
"That would pit one county against another with no new net job creation," he said. "I really believe this is the smart way to do it."
The House GOP caucus has also identified a preschool voucher program for low-income students as a goal. The House would craft the pilot program for 1,000 kids this year and then fund it in the new state budget next year.
Pence would prefer a much larger program but also would wait to fund it until next year.
A third agenda item is to allocate about $400 million set aside last year for new highway projects to be chosen by the Indiana Department of Transportation. Bosma said a number of Indiana's key highways need additional lanes.
House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath of Michigan City called the Republican agenda meek and listless.
"We all want to do more to help our kids get ahead. The need to improve our sagging infrastructure is obvious. We all agree about our skills gap. There isn't a person out there who likes burdensome regulations," he said. "The Republican vision lacks a belief that we can do better."
He did applaud the Republican caucus for the measured approach to the business personal property tax cut – a proposal that has the potential to shift the tax burden to middle-class Hoosiers.

As the mayor of New Market, I again feel I must comment on Robert A. Dowie's letter (Aug. 19 issue) concerning the town of New Market.
To begin with, I need to correct some of his assumptions. First of all, the individuals involved were with the fire department, not the rescue squad, and, second, the consumption of beer is not yet a proven fact. In America, Virginia, New Market and yes, even Mr. Dowie's Covington, people are still considered innocent until proven guilty.
With regard to his comments concerning the water or the DNA of the residents of New Market, I again invite Mr. Dowie to visit our fine town for himself. Although he may feel our municipal services are handled by "Hee-Haw" rejects" (his words, not mine), we in New Market know better.
As he suggests we will remember them when fundraising season rolls around. We will remember their good services, their constant care and their continued commitment to our community.
We will also remember to be kind to Mr. Dowie if and when he ever chooses to visit New Market. Like many others in small communities across Virginia and throughout the South, we value hometown "diversity," even if it comes from individuals such as Mr. Dowie who live in neighboring towns.
We smile at their foolish antics and writings, just as we would those of a young child, correct them when they are wrong and take pleasure in the fact that even though they are often wrong, at least they have learned to read and write.
So, love thy neighbor (even if the neighbor is as far away as Covington) and remember, residents of New Market, we don't always get to pick those neighbors.

This is to address those who responded to A.R. Gordon's critique on religion (letter, July 17 issue).
To the self-righteous, holier-than-thou, flag-waving super patriot John Flanagan: You have every right to disagree with Gordon and to air those differences on these pages, but you have no right to question his patriotism or love of country.
The colonel, as he is affectionately known to his many friends, served his country with honor and distinction and deserves the same accolades due to all veterans who risked their lives in the service of their country, no matter his religiosity or lack thereof.
Your idiotic suggestion that he forgo his military pension can only be attributed to, for the lack of a better word, ignorance. This is not "one nation under God," nor is it a Christian nation. We are one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
The founding fathers, knowing religious persecution firsthand, created a secular nation that welcomes and protects the right of all citizens to practice the religion of their choice. We are a religiously diverse nation consisting primarily of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and the nonreligious.
To the equally self-righteous Virginia Kill: You disingenuously claim the moral high ground by wearing your misguided faith on your sleeve, implying that faith is exclusive to the religious community. It is not.
It is true that the nonreligious, especially humanists, reject the concept of blind faith in a supernatural deity, but they have deep and abiding faith in humanity based on reason and scientific inquiry.
Humanism teaches that it is immoral to wait for an invisible friend in the sky to solve the world's problems. We humans have a high degree of freedom to choose what we do. Ultimately the responsibility for the kind of world we live in is up to us.
With that in mind it, no matter what your philosophy of the universe is, let us, with reason and compassion as our guide, work together to produce a world in which peace, prosperity, freedom and happiness are shared by all.

James J. Kilpatrick died Aug. 15 at the age of 89. The Daily used to carry Kilpatrick's column. In addition to writing about politics and the Supreme Court, Kilpatrick regularly wrote about grammar and word usage, and the mistakes that people make in those skills.
I have observed that the Daily's writers regularly make all of the mistakes that Kilpatrick regularly wrote about in his column. Evidently, the Daily's staff did not read Kilpatrick's column. His passing will have no effect, which is about the same effect that his column had.
A few years ago an article in The Washington Post said that the schools pretty much stopped teaching grammar back in the 1970s. If that is true, that can explain a lot. The writing in the Post, and in the Daily, and everywhere else suggests that it is true.
The last living souls who can still speak grammatically correct English will soon be passing on to join Mr. Kilpatrick at the grand English class in the sky. Here on earth, the English language will continue to be turned into mush. Good grammar in the United States has "gone missing."

An open letter to Congress, all state, county and incorporated area governments regarding the cause of the economic recession:
It's governmental overtaxation and overregulation, stupid!
The direction in which money flows has everything to do with the economy. The more money that flows to the four levels of government in the overtaxation of the corporate structure and personal incomes, the less money available to flow into the economy.
And speaking of the economy, China, Japan, Taiwan and Mexico have economies in America, but America itself has very little economy because it's very difficult to find American-made products in America. Isn't that amazing?
All four levels of government remind me of the bull in the china shop. The bull goes on a rampage, destroying every piece of china, and then looks around and says "What happened"? "Oh, well," says the bull, "the taxpayers will pay for all the damaged china because I cannot be held responsible for my actions so I'll just increase taxes to pay for the damaged china."
There's only one solution to stop political corruption and tax increases: to have every elected office in America be one four-year term only and the American people vote on all tax issues.
Incumbent re-election is when political corruption occurs, especially on the national and state levels because presidential, congressional, state legislative and governorship re-election campaigns cost millions of dollars. Thus one four-year term will eliminate this expensive nonsense and put a damper on special-interest groups' huge political contributions as well.
Elected officials who have the authority to tax and regulate claim we have a democracy with representation. Yes, we have a democracy, but we certainly do not have representation from any of the four levels of government -- only financial destruction.
I've said this before and I'll say this again: An overtaxed, overregulated democracy cannot long exist.

What's the big deal about urban deer eating their choice of shrubs, flowers and veggies from my back yard?
I'll tell you what the big deal is. The 1st fence I installed was too low -- my mistake. That was $400 down the drain. They still dined at their leisure. The second fence, 6 feet high did the trick. It cost $800 and I did not need or want the fence except for the deer.
The Jamestown deer dine on Braxton Road shrubs on Monday, Horseshoe Drive on Tuesday, Easterly on Wednesday, Marshall on Thursday and back to Jamestown on Friday. Then the cycle starts again.
Many localities have the same problem. I know several who have addressed it and have been successful.
The options are out there. Whose job is it to accept this challenge? I don't think it's up to the Town Council. Certainly it has to weigh in on procedures and methods, but who does the research?
It is as simple as contacting other localities who have "been there and done it." They have already overcome the obstacles. They know what to do. Use them.
I am an avid outdoorsman and a lover of all wildlife -- yes, deer included. The status quo is unacceptable and unfair to the deer.
The problem is solvable. It is not complicated. Now who in what capacity has the job description that fits this scenario?
It is not zoning or animal control. It isn't the Virginia Game Commission. It will offer lots of help and advice. It has helped and advised many localities, but it is not going to come in and do the job for us. We have to present the problem, draw up a solution and go from there.
Someone needs to step up to the plate.
This is not beyond the town's control. To say otherwise is irresponsible. The town is the only entity that can control it, or better, resolve it.

A review of the book "Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War," written by Andrew Bacevich.
Suppose China spent more on its military than every other nation combined, built hundreds of overseas garrisons, played aggressive war games and partitioned the planet into "command sectors," all while claiming its goal was world peace and stability.
Hey, wait, that's us. In this follow-up to his 2008 best-seller, "The Limits of Power," soldier-scholar Bacevich chronicles America's shift toward a perpetual state of what he calls "semiwar." It stems from the post-World War II notion that America's interests are best served not by leading by example but by projecting our military superiority overseas.
Bacevich introduces us to the early architects of these "Washington rules" -- Cold War power players like CIA chief Allen Dulles and Strategic Air Command boss Gen. Curtis LeMay -- and details how presidents from Truman to Obama have played along. He also goes after Gen. David Petraeus, arguing that his revival of counterinsurgency has all but guaranteed costly, open-ended commitment in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The triumph of the Washington rules has made us both weaker and poorer, Bacevich argues. Yet to question them is to risk political marginalization -- just ask Reps. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
Will Washington ever curb its endless military adventure? Never, Bacevich concludes, unless we speak up.
And for all who choose to think the president is a Muslim, I'll leave you with a parting statement from George Carlin: "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
