That's when new results dash your hopes and expectations and send you back to the drawing board!    That's what happened last night to Richard, #82, who expected to match Michael, #69.    Not only are their haplotypes decidedly different, a genetic distance of 34, their haplogroups don't match, being R1b1 and G2, respectively.

The only thing good about DNA telling you that you don't match the line that you thought you did (or might) is that you now know to concentrate your efforts elsewhere.    Sorry guys!

One interesting thing about Richard's haplotype is that it contains a fairly obvious recLOH event, which, while not important to this comparison, might be at some point in the future.

As I may have mentioned before, those of you who have gotten new results, be sure to upload them to ySearch by clicking the 'Click here to upload to Ysearch.org' line in the 'Y-DNA Matches' tab on your FTDNA Personal Page.    If that line's not there you've already done it.    If it is there, click it.

Also, everyone who hasn't yet done so should go to your FTDNA Personal Page, click on the 'Setup Preferences' tab and select your matches to be set against the entire database so that you may see matches that may be of interest to you but are not in the Berry Project.

If you are looking for a healthier life, get a dog.    Scientists have long believed that the companionship of a pet can be good for you, but new research suggests that dog owners are physically healthier than cat owners.

According to Deborah Wells from Queen's University, Belfast, dog owners tend to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, possibly thanks to regular walks with their four-legged friends.

Writing in the British Journal of Health Psychology, Dr Wells said that dog owners appear to suffer from fewer minor ailments as well as fewer serious medical problems.

In a review of dozens of previous studies, Dr Wells found that dogs also seem to aid recovery from serious illnesses, such as heart attacks.    One study published in 1995 found that dog owners were more likely, by about 8.6 per cent, to be alive one year after a heart attack than those who do not own a dog . . . .
