Some Evils (?) of Equal Suffrage By MRS. JULIA A. LUCKY. Why is it that every great movement in the world's history is met with looks askance and the condemning voice because of the evils that may follow, as evils that inevitably will follow according to these gloomy prophets? These ravens have given us suffragists various terrible forecasts: "Woman suffrage will unsex women;" "It will increase divorce;" "it will break up the home;" "men will cease to love us;" "it will cause race suicide;" "it will increase corruption;" "it will create sex antagonism;" "it will place an intolerable burden on women;" "it will destroy chivalry;" "undesirable women will constitute the larger portion of the voters," and so on ad nauseum. Now these objections put forth by the antis and by them styled reasons have been answered time and again and most effectually. I will deal with only one and that the last: "Undesirable women chiefly will vote." Who are these undesirable women? Hitherto we have thought of them as the women of the streets whose steps lead down to hell: women in the houses of prostitution whose trade enslaves our girls and debauches our men. Why should, by the way, why should (sic.) the women of the underworld care to vote? In Denver they did not when the _____ police attempted to compel them to register and vote, they appealed for protection to a woman's political club. So if they do use the ballot who takes them to the polls? Is it men or women that are guilty? But of late to the list of undesirables has been added another class, that of the negro women. At the ballot box we may have to rub elbows with cook and maid, yet we suffragists might prefer even that to being classed with idiots, criminals and insane. Every politcal and sociological problem has some hard and unpleasant side lights and extension of the franchise to negroes has been one of these. Many people thinking of this sincerely believe that the privilege of suffrage has been already too widely and indiscriminately conferred. But why, in a sudden spasm of virtue, draw the line at women? Why make us responsible for, or at least the innocent sufferers from masculine bad judgment? Of course, the negro problem in the south greatly complicates the questions of votes for women, and as one of our brilliant woman writers of Tennessee says: "Eastern and western people cannot realize how grave and serious the problem." This same sparkling editress, for she is an editess, and thus has a far-reaching outlook, says further: "It is not for these eastern and western women to come into the southland and cry, 'rights, give us rights.' How is it that no leader of the suffrage movement (she says "suffragette" but we hate the word) has hailed from the south? Now, it is deadful(sic.) to catch an editress napping, but has this one forgotten the Misses Gordon of New Orleans, Mary Johnson, Ellen Galsgow, Miss Clay of Kentucky, Mrs. Desha Breckenridge, a niece we believe of Henry Clay, and our own lovely Miss Elliott? Besides these eastern and western, are right smart folks, and if they have helped waken us out of the lethargy of a fatal trust in mere southern chivalry, or indifference, or that conservatism, the seeping sickness of the soul, then we give them thanks. We need guides through the wilderness of our wrongs and the clearing thereof, they have blazed the way let us gladly follow. When it comes to a question of locality we would have our editress remember that the birthplace of freedom for man in this country was in the east, though the Middle and Southern states gallantly fell in line. No, there must be no sectionalism in equal sufffrage. A women, heart to heart, mind to mind, shoulder to shoulder, we must make the fight and unselfish union will be our strongest weapon. Now, "revenous nous moutons:" Which in this is the African women in America. It is important not only for their social racial integrity but for their physical well being that the white and the black races should be kept separate, and over that line none should ever step. But since the law has given the franchise to negro men, equal suffrage must confer it to negro women. The problems will then be similar and the wisdom that strives to handle the one may be brought to bear on the other. Men have so often told us that good women outnumber the bad that we ourselves believe it and will hope it to prove equally true in the negro women. Could we by some skill in politcal alchemy reach and make use of only the pure gold, rejecting the baser metals, could we sift out the ignorant, the vicious, the corrupt voters, leaving only the honest and high minded, then indeed we would reach the perfection of government. Since we cannot, then it is right and wise for men and women to solve these questions together, using each his or her own peculiar strength, power, and intelligence. Our own Miss Elliott, and we love to call her so, says "this question of the negro is irrelevant, extraneous, and has nothing to do with the issue." We women are planning and striving for just one thing, the right to do our duty as citizens. After that privilege is ours then it will be time to consider the lions in the path.

Merluzzo Spaghetti Puttanesca
Merluzzo is Codfish in Italian, and I just thought it would look cooler in the title. In case you've never heard of a "Puttanesca" sauce before, it's Italian for "in the style of the whore." I know, it sounds appetizing doesn't it? But, it really is a fantastic and fast pasta sauce that can be prepared and tossed on plain pasta, or used as a base for a more complex recipe as I have done here. I've taken the basic Puttanesca sauce and added fresh codfish and Arugula to create a very nice, and quite healthy seafood pasta. By the way, it tastes much better than it looks! The black olive tapenade I added makes for a sort of grey and muddy looking sauce, but when you dress it up with a little parmesan on top and more red pepper flakes, it suddenly becomes much more attractive (insert your own prostitute joke here).
Now, as far as the story behind the Puttanesca sauce's origins, there are many stories, some more "colorful" than others. It is pretty much agreed upon that Naples was the birthplace, but that's about all that people don't argue about. What follows are the most common explanations of this delicious sauce; the ladies of the night made this pasta sauce because the irresistible aroma would help draw in customers. It was created as a quick and cheap meal the ladies could eat in between customers. It is hot, spicy, and fast, as are the woman for whom it's named.
Regardless of the true origin, it's a great sauce, and one that should be part of your regular pasta rotation, no matter what your own personal level of virtue happens to be. I've made this version much lower calorie by reducing the usual amount of olive oil and replaced it with stock and wine. Enjoy!

The times within which the sacred offices may be performed. In the Roman Catholic Church they are seven- viz. matins, prime, tierce, sext, nones, vespers, and compline. Prime, tierce, sext, and nones are the first, third, sixth, and ninth hours of the day, counting from six in the morning. Compline is a corruption of completorium (that which completes the services of the day). The reason why there are seven canonical hours is that David says, "Seven times a day do I praise thee" (Psalm oxix. 164).
In England the phrase means the time of the day within which persons can be legally married, i.e. from eight in the morning to three p m.

2012 was the year I finally started reading Joan Didion, which makes me late to the party, I know. I'd put off reading her stuff for ages, but once I read Slouching Towards Bethlehem I couldn't stop. I read a couple of her novels, and then I read The White Album and came across that old packing list of hers that's been blogged and pinned and tumbled so many times that I could practically recite it by heart.
The Australian label Dress Up's new collection is inspired by that same list and also by Didion's minimalist '70s style. Oversized sweaters, dresses you can slip on in a hurry, silk blouses that go with just about anything. It's one of my favorite collections of the season.

Looking to purchase a Mallory while the prices are good. I've never owned one and was wondering what the fit was like? I'm currently looking at an AW13 in dark navy and typically wear a 44R in suits / SC's. Do the Mallory's fit slim? Would I want to size up if I was planning on wearing a chunky sweater underneath? Really, any sizing advice would be awesome.
A 54 should be okay - I'm a 43 chest and take generous 42 suits or less generous 44s and can easily get a thick sweater under a Harris Tweed Mallory in a 54. If you're looking at the matching Mallory vest though, I'd advise sizing up to a 56 for that.

I found this month's newest volunteer curled up in a ball by the dryer, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, trying hard not to show she'd been crying. But I knew better. While euthanizing our last patient of the day, I'd been paying attention.
It might sound kind of strange, but I'm always curious to see how newbies react to euthanasia. Maybe it's because I'm biased and like to think any pre-vet worth his or her salt comes into this profession with the same sensitivities I did — uncontrollable tears and all. But lately I've been wondering if it's more because I'm trying to recall what it was like to be so sensitive to death in this context.
Avoiding Emotional Burnout
It's true that veterinarians practiced in the art and science of euthanasia tend to lose that raw emotional quality that attends the first dozen or two we perform. In its place, our experience of compassion acquires a sort of patina. It's still kindly and warm, but by now it has been weathered by a whole lot of practice watching pet owners say goodbye to their pets.
Which only makes sense. We would become emotionally exhausted if we didn't. The compassion fatigue would take its toll and we would exit the profession or worse — we would suffer the kind of burnout usually relegated to those who feel compelled to seek self-destructive ways to manage their stress.
In my experience, colleagues who didn't eventually find healthy and productive ways to handle the euthanasia of companion animals sought out a specialty in a non-euthanasia field (pathology or radiology, among others), pursued another profession or developed self-destructive behaviors.
I know that sounds harsh, but that's the reality for any work in which the emotions that attend issues of life and death are routinely experienced. That's why veterinarians must either come to accept our patients' euthanasia and our clients' reaction to it or otherwise find some way to tolerate it.

Too expensive. Cheaply made. Would be OK at 2.99 or less. Entirely pets also took way to long to ship this. Approx 2 weeks.
I recently bought 3 of these. I love playing with the Cat Charmers with the cats. The stick part is very flexible and the long fabric strip is very soft and colorful. One of my cats likes me to drag it across the floor and the other cat likes to catch the strip flying through the air. I was so glad to find these at Entirely Pets. I had one of the Cat Charmers years ago when I found it at a pet store but I have not been able to find it again until now. Thank you!
Upon purchase of CatCharmer, our cat became playful and active! Great exercise for our very homely baby!
Easy and fun to play with and to run all the enrgy out of my young kitty so she will settle down. love it. and my kitty loves it!!
all my boys love this thing. it is a big hit.
This interactive cat toy is the best! Both of our cats love to watch it whip around and chase the tail. The bright colorful material keeps their attention.
Both of my cats enjoy this toy... but the younger one (about a year old) will drag it to us - including up the stairs! - when she wants us to play with it.
This is one of the best and most durable wand-style toys on the market. Now that I have a good source for them, I may buy them as premiums for my clients' pets. Hours of fun for your kitty!
My kitties loves the Catcharmer Interactive Cat Toy.
I wanted a toy that kept my hand out of reach from my cat's claws. I play with my Tortishell @ night to wear her out before bedtime. For my Blind kitty I tie a dental chew toy filled with catnip and he is able to play as well. I simply roll the fabric around the handle when play time is over. Fanastic toy for a very reasonable price. I wish I had ordered 2 sets.
Our cats love the Cat Charmer, and will play with it through-out the day.
This is the greatest interactive toy ever! My kittens loved it but most impressive of all... My 15 year old cat, who has not played with toys in years, dominates the toy. Success, he is one happy cat.
My 2 cats - mama & daughter - and my Pit Bull love this thing!! The wand is very strong & the dangler is really soft & attached very well to the wand. It has replaced all of the other dangler toys as the new favorite.
We have two 1-year old cats. Both like this toy, but not as much as they like "Da Bird" feather toy. Our male cat "ate" the fabric from this wand and later regurgitated it--my advice is to store the toy away from cats when not in use.
I love to spend time with our cats and this toy lets me play with them instead of turning on a machine which I do when I am busy but this is fun for them and they love it.
We bought this when she was 8 weeks old and have had 3 other playmates play with it over the years, she still loves this toy eleven years later! The others have been enthralled with it, too. Love the CatCharmer!
Best of its kind. Sprite loves it and it holds up well.

ARLINGTON, VA – U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus recently presented Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) with the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award in a ceremony at his office in the Pentagon. The award is the highest recognition that the Secretary of the Navy may pay to a civilian not employed by the Department of the Navy.
Hinchey, who is retiring after 20 years of service in the U.S. House of Representatives, enlisted in the United States Navy following high school and was honorably discharged after serving in the Pacific aboard the USS Marshal. He is a member of the U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. Hinchey also created the House Defense Energy Security Caucus, which aims to find solutions to the energy challenges that are facing the Armed Forces and the Department of Defense.
"I appreciate Congressman Hinchey's support of the Department of the Navy's energy efforts and other initiatives that maintain readiness while ensuring quality of life for the men and women who wear the uniform of our nation," Secretary Mabus said. "He has proudly represented his fellow New Yorkers in demonstrating unfailing support of our Navy and Marine Corps team, the greatest expeditionary force the world has ever known, and this award recognizes that support."
"It is a great honor to receive the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award," Hinchey said. "I served in the U.S. Navy after high school, which enabled me as a member of Congress to understand and address the challenges and needs of our men and women in uniform. In that effort, it was a great privilege to work with Secretary Mabus and all of the distinguished leaders of our armed services. I thank the Secretary for this designation and I will cherish it forever."
Rep. Norm Dicks (D-WA) said, "My good friend, Mr. Hinchey, has been a great partner on the Defense Appropriations subcommittee toward strengthening our Navy and I congratulate him on this exceptional honor."
As a member of the U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, Hinchey has been a tireless advocate on behalf of the needs of the U.S. Navy. As a veteran, Hinchey has also worked diligently to ensure proper treatment and care of our uniformed men and women during and after their service, voting repeatedly to increase troop pay and strengthen health care and other benefits.
Hinchey has also played a substantial role in educating members of Congress and the public on the strategic value of utilizing sustainable energy sources for the U.S. military. As a founder of the bipartisan Defense Energy Security Caucus, Hinchey has continuously highlighted the need to strengthen emerging defense energy initiatives, including ways to limit the need for heavily targeted and dangerous fuel convoys in Afghanistan; encouraging the Department of Defense to purchase exclusively American-made photovoltaic solar panels; and, supporting an emerging advanced biofuels industry and advanced battery researchers.
Established in 1951, The Navy Distinguished Public Service Award is presented by the U.S. Secretary of the Navy to civilians for contributions or accomplishments that have had Navy-wide, or beyond, impact.

Ok! So I ordered a Glite about 2 weeks ago, never heard from Jutsin, got on the forums, got a thread locked (mostly people complaining about his lack of communication), and have been waiting patiently.
Ummm, now this amp is discontinued.............So with no communication from Justin, does that mean that I will be getting a refund? Should I still want to even purchase it if he is building me one? Should I just get him to bump me to a GS-1 and pay the difference?
How can I even find out what my options are? Does anyone have any reliable way to contact him?
EDIT: Since this thread was started, things have gotten better, and Justin is getting very close to sending out the GS-1's.

Sub par
Absolutely no support at alllllllll.. I'm a 32 D and the small fit fine but the lace was so thin and a little itchy.. It also had very weak stretch. It felt like I could've stretched it out veryyyy easily after about 30 minutes of wear.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Too short
The skirt definitely fits true to normal tibi sizing.. I'm 5'6" and got the 2 and although it fit, you definitely cant wear this with anything other than flats if your 5'3" or taller. It barely skimmed the ground at my height. I wanted to wear it with wedges so I'm returning. Also, the pocket sticks out on the left side where there's a side zipper and it's very sheer in the back where there are no pleats

j brand
very pretty color/wash and very very comfortable, but def run big in the leg. i'm always a 26 in j brand, so i ordered the 26 and they're definitely bigger than normal through the thigh and knee. still cute, but if you're ordering, i'd order 2 sizes (your normal and one smaller) so you can decide what you're looking for

Maxi Priest
Priest was born Max Elliott on June 10, 1962, in the Lewisham area of London. He was the eighth of nine children, born to parents who had emigrated from Jamaica several years before his birth. His mother was active in the Pentecostal church, and the family grew up singing gospel music together; Maxi would later convert to Rastafarianism, upon which point he changed his name to Maxi Priest. He was working as a carpenter when he was invited to build speaker boxes for the prominent Saxon International sound system. It wasn't long before his contacts there discovered that he could sing as well, and soon he was participating in live dancehall shows; in 1984, he and Paul "Barry Boom" Robinson also co-produced Phillip Levi's "Mi God Mi King," the first U.K.-born reggae single to hit number one in Jamaica.
Priest signed with Virgin Records and released his debut album, You're Safe, in 1985. A more traditional reggae set than his subsequent releases, it featured production by Robinson and live instrumental backing from the band Caution, and spun off the U.K. hit "In the Springtime." His 1986 follow-up, Intentions, featured two more U.K. successes in "Strollin' On" and the Van Morrison cover "Crazy Love." However, it was 1988's Sly & Robbie-produced Maxi Priest that ranked as his true breakthrough; his Top 30 cover of Cat Stevens' "Wild World" gave him his first American hit, and another cover, Robert Palmer's "Some Guys Have All the Luck," kept his hit streak alive in the U.K. Elsewhere, he embraced slinky lovers rock grooves to a greater extent than ever before, and even made a rare detour into social consciousness with the Beres Hammond duet "How Can We Ease the Pain?."
Now hugely popular in the U.K., and on his way in the U.S., Priest recorded what would become his biggest-selling album, Bonafide. Released in 1990, it climbed up the charts by virtue of the steamy, Soul II Soul-influenced single "Close to You," which went all the way to number one on the American pop charts. Follow-ups "Just a Little Bit Longer" and "Space in My Heart" failed to duplicate its success Stateside, although "Peace Throughout the World" and "Human Work of Art" were both popular in Britain. The hits collection Best of Me was rushed out in 1991, not long after Priest teamed with Shabba Ranks for the dance-club hit "House Call," and not long before another Priest duet, the Roberta Flack collaboration "Set the Night to Music," climbed into the U.S. Top Ten. Nonetheless, Priest's next album, 1992's Fe Real, was a solid outing but a commercial disappointment; neither of the American singles, "Groovin' in the Midnight" or the Shaggy duet "One More Chance," made much of an impact either. After a supporting role in the movie Scam, Priest took a sabbatical from recording for a few years to concentrate on launching his own U.K. label, Dugout.
Priest returned in 1996 with Man with the Fun, the most crossover-oriented album in his catalog to date. It spun off a U.S. and U.K. Top 20 hit in "That Girl," another duet with Shaggy. Despite its dancehall flavor, much of the album found Priest moving away from the lovers rock that had made his name. That trend continued on 1999's CombiNation, which focused predominantly on hip-hop and smooth soul balladry. Duet singles, guest appearances, and a 2003 U.S. tour with Joan Osborne, Bootsy Collins, and Motown's the Funk Brothers took the singer to his 2004 album 2 the Max. It was followed in 2007 by the album Refused, while 2008 saw him hit the road with UB40 and collaborate with the band on the single "Dance Until the Morning Light." In 2012 the Maximum Collection set rounded up both his global and Jamaican singles, while two years later, the album Easy to Love arrived on the VP label with Sly & Robbie and Beres Hammond among its guests. ~ Steve Huey

UPDATE: Man shot during rush hour at Royal Oak SkyTrain station
Burnaby RCMP arrested three people less than 24 hours after a man was shot at Royal Oak SkyTrain station during Tuesday afternoon's rush hour.
A 22-year-old Surrey man is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries after what police are calling a "targeted shooting."
"The RCMP quickly identified the suspects in yesterday's brazen Skytrain shooting, and we located them in Surrey," said Burnaby RCMP spokesman Sgt. Ted De Jager. "We attempted to stop their vehicle but the suspects abandoned the vehicle and ran away. However, after a short foot pursuit I'm very happy to say we have all three in custody."
The suspects arrested include a 22-year-old man from Surrey, identified as the shooter, an 18-year-old Burnaby man and a 15-year-old boy from an undetermined area.
Police are considering recommending charges of attempted murder against the shooter, while charges are pending against the other two suspects.
Several 911 calls were received at about 5:10 p.m. Tuesday reporting shots being fired at the SkyTrain station.
The victim managed to get onto the SkyTrain and travel to Edmonds station where officers found him. He was taken to a local area hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
The busy time of day meant there were numerous witnesses, De Jager said.
"We recognize that this was a frightening event for the public, but we wish to reassure everyone that investigators have determined this was a targeted shooting."

Film Festivals Unite!
Written by Judy Laster | Posted by: Anonymous
In a first for this area, on Sunday, February 4, 2001, festival directors from all over New England met in Boston for what was the first meeting of the New England Film Festival Directors Collaborative. The festivals represented at the meeting ranged from some of New Englands newest to some of the oldest, and while each festival director came to the meeting for individual reasons, it quickly became clear that there were many issues to discuss and a commonality of interests and concerns.
The idea for this collaborative grew out of discussions among several festival directors about the need to develop a vehicle to communicate with each other. There was also a general feeling that due to the sheer number of film festivals held, not only in New England, but worldwide, the challenges and opportunities facing festivals are ever-changing and require the ability to respond deftly and appropriately within the framework of each festival.
For this initial meeting, invitations were extended to the directors of all known film festivals in New England. The festivals represented at the meeting included: Boston Underground Film Festival; BFVFs New England Film and Video Festival; Connecticut Gay and Lesbian Film Festival; Film Fest New Haven; Nantucket Film Festival; Roxbury Film Festival; and the Woods Hole Film Festival. Representatives of several other festivals included the Lake Placid Film Festival, Maine International Film Festival and Rhode Island International Film Festival indicated their interest in future participation. The Collaborative welcomes directors of all New England Film Festivals in this process.
Any reservations about attending the meeting were immediately dispelled at the introduction phase, when it became clear that although each festival was distinct, each festival brought something to the table that could help the others. The list of discussion points was so long that we were only able to scratch the surface of our initial conversations, even though the meeting lasted for the better part of a day. One major conclusion from this meeting is that we have much to gain by collaborating on ideas and by supporting each other. With the generosity of NewEnglandFilm.com we are establishing an online communication venue and will meet again in September. [Note: if youd like to sign up to receive news from local festivals, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with only the word subscribe in the body of the message.]
Given the energy and excitement in this meeting, held on a cold, cloudy day in February, its safe to expect some great things from this collaboration. For more information about becoming involved in the New England Film Festival Directors Collaborative please contact: Nina Adams, Film Fest New Haven at email@example.com or Judy Laster, Woods Hole Film Festival at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Grid Iron Audible—Best in Division
Posted By Steve Massey On Nov 15 2012 @ 12:07 pm In NFL | 6 Comments
Grid Iron Audible—Best in Division
Do you think your team plays in a tough division? Let's put that thought to the test and compare each of the eight divisions. I'll list the divisions according to my rankings, beginning with the worst, and progressing to the best.
8. AFC West
With the worst record (14-22) and a minus 103 point differential, the division that is home to four AFL charter franchises has lost some of its former glory. There is not a single top flight defense to be found here, and the wide receiver play, throughout the group (though Peyton is in the process of changing that), is as poor as I can recall. At least two, but likely three, of these teams will make coaching changes in the off-season. The Broncos are the class of the division, while the Chiefs are contending for the 2012 TP Award, given for wiping up the rear.
7. AFC South
The 19-18 record through ten weeks may be deceiving due to Houston's 8-1 mark; the rest of the division is 11-17. Houston is a very good team, but their +107 PD can't keep the South from posting a league worst -119 points. A couple of more losses, and this group would be challenging the AFC West for the doormat division crown. The Texans own this division, and Jacksonville is the worst team in football.
6. AFC East
Due to the 6-3 record of the Patriots, the AFC East is the very picture of average in the NFL. A 16-20 won/lost record and -42 points outs this group as decidedly un-elite, and as underachieving. It was a tossup here with the NFC East. I let playmakers break the tie, and there just aren't many to find here. New England is in charge in this neighborhood, with Buffalo and the Jets fighting for the cellar door.
5. NFC East
Only more playmakers elevated this perennial powerhouse over their AFC counterparts. A 16-21 record and -52 points puts these guys in the bottom half of the league. The division that has long been known for dominant defenses has drastically slipped on that side of the ball. There is still plenty of firepower on offense however, and I expect some of these teams to get hot in the home stretch. The Giants are the best in the division, and the Eagles have hit rock bottom.
4. NFC West
With one and a half elite teams (the Hawks are elite at home), this pick will get some people mad. 19-16-2 is a good record, just as +45 net points rates well. The reason I've slotted this group here is because I only see one contender here. The Seahawks will play with anyone at home, but they are less than pedestrian on the road (no pun intended). They may make the PS, but they'll be on the road if they do. The Niners still command this division, and I think the Cards are worse than the Rams, though both are better than last year.
3. NFC South
The Saints should move into positive points this weekend, giving 3 teams here that distinction. A 19-17 record and +64 points are more than respectable, and those numbers are likely to get better. By season's end, this group could move up to number two, but lack of good defense will keep them from the top slot this year. The Falcons are the most complete team, but the Saints and Bucs are both red hot, while the Panthers are on the canvas.
2. AFC North
19-17 and + 35 points are a bit disappointing for this division. The Bengals, while talented, have taken a step backward from last season, especially on defense. Injury concerns have Pittsburgh slipping of late, and Cleveland…well Cleveland is Cleveland, and still in the midst of a thirty year rebuilding project. I picked the Steelers to win this division, but so far the Ravens have outplayed everyone here, and have to be considered the head of the class.
1. NFC North
The best division in football and it's not even close. The Black & Blue is back in a big way! With a 23-14 mark, they have 4 more wins than any other division in the league, and their +172 points are +108 points more than the nearest competitor. It's possible that the playoffs find three of these teams still around. Though anything can happen here, the Bears are in the top spot for now, with the enigmatic Lions holding to the bottom rung.
That's a wrap on my divisional breakdown. If you don't agree with my assessment of the Black & Blue Division as number one, there is only one thing I can say. You are wrong. However, I'm always open to dialogue, even from the haters. Please feel free to comment, rant, ramble or donate.

The battle inside my head was tougher than beating Tiger, says unheralded Dubuisson
Victor Dubuisson had to repel challenges from golfing heavyweights Tiger Woods, Justin Rose and Ian Poulter to land the Turkish Open title yesterday but the biggest fight the Frenchman had to win was with himself.
An unheralded Dubuisson began the final round at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal course on the Mediterranean coast of Antalya holding a five-stroke lead and knew he had to be mentally strong to claim the first European Tour victory of his career.
Asked if it was a tougher task battling away the demons in his head than taking on world number one Woods, U.S. Open champion Rose, Ryder Cup hero Poulter and money-list leader Henrik Stenson, the 23-year-old replied: "Fighting myself of course.
"I am very proud of the way I fought myself ... because it was the toughest day of my golfing life," Dubuisson told reporters. "I played great on the front nine but I struggled on the greens.
"On this course level-par is a good score but against this level of players you cannot win a tournament with a level-par score, even with a five-shot lead," he said after leaving Woods, Rose, Poulter and Stenson trailing in his wake.
"On the back nine I tried my best to make some birdies and I made a great putt on 17. It was one of those putts you make to make a dream come true," he said of the 25-footer that effectively put the seal on his title triumph.
Dubuisson was rock solid on the outward half as he reeled off nine straight pars. Then, just when he needed it most, he found the inner resolve to step up a gear.
The Frenchman dropped his first shot of the day at the 14th, falling back into a three-way tie for the lead with Rose and Welshman Jamie Donaldson who were playing in the same group two holes ahead.
Welshman Donaldson aced the par-three 16th and Rose birdied the same hole to join the leader on 21-under, only to see Dubuisson hit straight back with birdies at the 15th, 17th and 18th.
Known as one of the most laid-back characters on the tour, Dubuisson's two-shot victory over Donaldson has catapulted him from 108th in the world rankings and into the top 40.
Another incentive arrived in the post-round news conference when he was told the win would almost certainly secure him a ticket to the first major championship of 2014, the U.S. Masters at Augusta.
"I did not know about this," he said, smiling. "Playing the Masters would be a dream of course - it's amazing what you've just told me.
"I have never played a U.S. PGA Tour event. I really hope I will play next year if I maybe get one or two invites."

Judge: Crystal Cathedral sale will go through
SANTA ANA A last-minute attempt to block the sale of the Crystal Cathedral failed Monday.
Cathedral insiders asserted that the congregation has a 99-year lease on the landmark Garden Grove church, and they refused to give up the lease to allow a court-ordered sale to go forward.
But U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Kwan ordered the $57.5 million sale of the church to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange to proceed.
The sale probably will close in the next several days. The diocese has promised that the congregation can continue to use the cathedral for three years before it becomes the diocese's spiritual home.
During an emergency hearing, no one from the congregation was able to prove that the 99-year lease exists.
James Dawson, a long-time member, testified about a 1987 meeting in which the congregation agreed to give the campus to Robert Schuller Ministries, predecessor of the now-bankrupt Crystal Cathedral Ministries, in return for a 99-year lease.
Attorneys for the ministries said they could find no record of a lease or lease payments.
Senior Pastor Sheila Schuller Coleman testified that the congregation paid the 99-year lease in full – all 99 years for the sum of $99.
Coleman, the daughter of founding pastor Robert H. Schuller, sits on the congregation and ministries boards.
She testified that she first learned of the lease the week of Jan. 9.
Attorneys for the cathedral's creditors pressed Coleman and her brother-in-law, Jim Penner, also a member of both boards, on why they did not encourage the congregation to bid for the cathedral.
Penner said both boards operated in secret, comparing his role to someone sitting on the boards of rival oil giants ExxonMobil and Texaco. If he had told the congregation what he knew from the ministry board, it would be like insider trading, he said.
But the bankruptcy plans to sell the cathedral were public knowledge, creditor attorney Todd Ringstad said. Wasn't it part of your duty as a board member to share knowledge with the congregation?, he asked Penner.
Penner replied, "I think I did my job as a Crystal Cathedral Consistory member poorly."
Jim McDonald, a congregation member, said he was happy the judge decided the sale would go through.
"If they don't sell the church, how do they expect to pay the creditors?" he said. "They don't have the money for that. I'd be pleased if we could have kept the church. But that did not happen. A deal's a deal."
Coleman said, "It's unclear what the outcome will be for the congregation."

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Sarah Brightman is no stranger to the concepts of space and time travel. Her voice, a crystalline soprano that first mesmerized audiences when she originated the role of Christine Daaé in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera," often soars into the stratosphere on albums that bring a pop sensibility to classical music.
Now the English singer is taking her lifelong love of the celestial literally. Brightman is in training as a cosmonaut, with hopes of boarding a Russian rocket in 2015 for a 10-day journey into space, assuming she passes the final rounds of medical and psychological tests.
Inspired by that possibility, her new album, "Dreamchaser," gathers an eclectic range of songs whose common theme is expansiveness. She tackles everything from "Ave Maria" to Cocteau Twins and Sigur Rós.
Brightman performs at Boston Opera House on Sept. 18.

In yet another changing hands of popular Web 2.0 properties, the blogging site LiveJournal has recently been sold by current owners Six Apart to SUP, a Russian company. The company had already licensed the LiveJournal.ru domain name last year to manage LiveJournal in Russia, and Russian accounts have to come represent 28 percent of LiveJournal traffic.
Six Apart CEO Chris Alden was pleased with the progress SUP had made since taking over LiveJournal's Russian half. "They've introduced new features, nearly doubled the number of users, invested in key product enhancements, and have done justice to one of the most innovative online social networks in the world," he said. SUP has created a U.S. entity, LiveJournal Inc., to manage the existing American site, and intends to create a user advisory board to keep in touch with the demands of existing users.
Financial details of the LiveJournal sale were undisclosed. Six Apart originally purchased LiveJournal from its founder and current Google employee Brad Fitzpatrick in January 2005, and managed to grow its user base from 5.6 million to an existing base of over 14 million.

Read an Excerpt
"The only thing that this so-called women's shelter does is to foster disharmony in otherwise harmonious households here in Cabot Cove. For the Cabot Cove town government to be providing financial support to it is a travesty, a prime example of the misuse of taxpayer funds."
The speaker was Richard Mauser, owner of a metal-fabricating factory in an industrial park alongside the Cabot Cove River, and an elected member of the town council. Mauser, age sixty, was a bombastic naysayer whose fiery speeches during council meetings were often the butt of jokes for those in attendance, but this didn't deter him from offering his opinion on anything and everything. He was a large man with a shock of copper-colored hair fringed with gray, and whose suits—he always wore a suit and tie to meetings—tended to be a size too small for his bulky frame. His white dress shirts pressed into the folds of his neck, and his face reddened whenever he took the floor and railed against whatever was being considered, shouting down those who disagreed with his positions and disparaging anyone who dared challenge him.
This night was no different.
I'd had a previous engagement and hadn't planned on attending the meeting, but when I heard that renewing funding for the women's shelter would be on the agenda, I canceled my plans. Now I sat in the front row along with Edwina Wilkerson, a former social worker at the hospital and a friend of many years, who'd spearheaded the establishment of the shelter two years earlier. Edwina was one of those women who seemed to be in perpetual motion, and her wiry frame attested to her active life. She was coiled like a snake as Mauser spoke; I was ready to grab her should she leap up and attack the man.
"We've been sold a bill of goods," Mauser shouted, "told by the usual do-gooders in town that we even need a shelter for"—he paused and smirked—"for the fair sex. Well, let me tell you the facts. Let me differentiate between reality and fancy. The only thing the women's shelter accomplishes is to give women an excuse for leaving their hardworking husbands and adding to the divorce statistics. You want to talk about family values? I'll tell you about family values, and this shelter isn't it. Now, frankly, I don't give a damn whether these do-gooders want to run a shelter and pay for it out of their own pockets or collect donations from anyone they can hoodwink, but Cabot Cove has no business allocating funds to help sustain this travesty of morality." He glared at our mayor, Jim Shevlin, who sat with a small smile on his lips. Jim had had to put up with Mauser's mad rants for the years that he'd been mayor, and I admired him for his calm patience.
Mauser ran out of steam and sat heavily in his chair.
"That man is a heart attack waiting to happen," Dr. Seth Hazlitt, who sat on the other side of me, muttered.
"The man is despicable" was Edwina's whispered editorial comment in my ear.
"We've heard from Mr. Mauser," Mayor Shevlin said. "Let's open the discussion and hear other viewpoints."
Edwina quickly got to her feet. "First of all," she said, "I deeply resent the way Dick Mauser has characterized me and others associated with the shelter as do-gooders who are out to hoodwink donors. The fact is that the shelter provides a much-needed haven for women and their children who have been subjected to domestic abuse. Whatever funds the town contributes to the shelter each year help save lives, something that can't be said for Mr. Mauser's plant, which pollutes our river and threatens lives."
Mauser stood and shook a finger at Edwina as he boomed, "I won't allow this meeting to turn into a forum for the dissemination of lies and character slurs."
"Sit down, Dick," Mayor Shevlin said. "You've had your say. Now it's Ms. Wilkerson's turn to have hers. Ms. Wilkerson, please confine your comments to the subject at hand."
Edwina gave an impassioned defense of the shelter and the need for it. When she was finished, the mayor asked whether anyone else wished to address the subject. I was about to stand, but Seth Hazlitt was on his feet and facing the forty or so people who'd attended the hearing. The room was silent as one of our town's leading citizens took the floor.
"First of all," he said, "I've been one of those people who, some say, have been 'hoodwinked' into donating money to the shelter—and I've done so with pride, and intend to donate more. Now, I know where people who oppose the shelter are coming from. There are folks, and well-meanin' ones, I might add, who view having a women's shelter as sayin' something negative about the town they've grown up in. But let's face the facts. Cabot Cove is no longer a sleepy little town bypassed by the problems larger cities have. Sure, we're still blessed compared to lots of other places. Our problems are relatively minimal. But that doesn't mean we can sweep 'em under the rug. And unfortunately domestic abuse is one of these problems. I'm not sayin' it's an epidemic, but it exists, and anyone who denies it has blinders on. Mayor Shevlin and the council are doin' the right thing by supporting the shelter despite Mr. Mauser's protests."
There was a smattering of applause as Seth sat. I patted his arm. Although doctor-patient confidentiality prohibited Seth from naming names, he had confided in me that a few of his patients were women who'd been abused, and said that he'd even treated a man whose wife had the habit of striking out at him physically, causing bruises as well as humiliation. Seth said the man was grappling with intense shame at having been hit by a woman, even though he hadn't provoked her attacks, nor had he responded in kind.
The mayor called for a vote on whether to provide funding for the shelter for the upcoming year. The measure passed with Richard Mauser the lone "nay" on the council. He grabbed the briefcase that sat next to him and stormed from the room, muttering under his breath.
"That man!" Edwina exclaimed.
"Just your typical, run-of-the-mill blowhard" was Seth's evaluation. "Coffee, anyone?"
The three of us went to Mara's, on the dock, where Edwina and I asked for decaf lattes, a new offering by the town's favorite eating establishment. Seth specified a cup of regular coffee—"I never did understand this latte business," he said—and added a slice of lemon meringue pie to his order.
"Well," I said to Edwina, raising my cup to her, "we have something to celebrate: another year of funding for the shelter."
"No thanks to our favorite council member," she said.
"Forget him," said Seth. "Likes to hear himself talk."
"He's so self-righteous."
"The pie is delicious," Seth said. "Anyone like a taste?"
We declined.
I deliberately shifted the topic of conversation from the shelter to less contentious subjects, and Edwina calmed down. As we stepped out into the cold, humid March night air, she thanked Seth and me for our support. "I'll see you tomorrow night?" she asked me.
"I'll be there," I said. As a member of the shelter's board, I'd volunteered to be on hand one evening a week in case anyone walked in seeking services.
Later that night, as the final scenes of the original black-and-white version of Brief Encounter—the Technicolor remake for television starring Sophia Loren and Richard Burton was, in my humble opinion, dreadful—faded out and THE END came up on the screen, I reflected on the events of that evening and my involvement in them.
The Cabot Cove women's shelter had been founded two years earlier. While Edwina was the public face of the committee formed to establish the refuge for abused women, it had been Seth Hazlitt's brainchild. The genesis of the idea had surfaced at a dinner party at my house attended by Seth; Edwina; our sheriff, Mort Metzger; his wife, Maureen; and a few other friends. Seth had cited statistics he'd recently read—twenty-five million American women are the victims of domestic violence each year, resulting in more than two thousand homicides. Mort reminded us of a murder that had taken place only one year earlier in the next town down the coast: A drunken husband had killed his wife in the midst of a violent argument.
"I heard that their cops knew something was going on," Mort said.
"Well, couldn't they do anything?" his wife asked.
"They answered a couple of calls, but the wife, she always refused to press charges. Their hands were tied."
"How awful," Maureen said.
"The point is," said Seth, "Cabot Cove isn't immune from domestic violence. Seems to me that it might be time for setting up a place here where women can come if they need to escape trouble at home."
"Unfortunately, I know someone who would benefit from such a place," Edwina said. "Her husband treats her like chattel. He's always putting her down in front of others, and I'm certain that he's hurt her more than once when she stood up for herself. I won't mention any names, but some of you certainly know her. Of course, she's too proud or ashamed or scared to allow the truth to come out, stays at home so her friends won't see the marks he left on her."
The topic had been bounced around for another hour, until it was time for my guests to leave. As Edwina was on her way out, she'd turned to me and asked, "Would you be interested in joining a committee I'm going to form to get us a women's shelter right here in Cabot Cove?"
"Count me in," I'd said.
And so I became part of Edwina's tenacious drive to raise private funding and to persuade the town council to back the plan financially. She was successful. The Cabot Cove women's shelter became reality. Edwina immersed herself in domestic violence counseling courses, and an anonymous donor put up enough money to purchase a small house in an area zoned for commercial use—even I didn't know where it was. The location was kept secret, or as secret as possible, to avoid having an irate husband arrive on its doorstep in search of a wife who'd run from his abuse. I did know that three women and their children were currently residing there until they could move on to something more permanent. Two were from Cabot Cove, but the third had come from a village down the coast, having been reluctant to involve her friends in her troubles, and fearing that her husband would be able to track her down too easily if she remained in her hometown. An office was leased in town as the public face of the shelter, where women could drop in for an initial consultation, solace, and advice. The office was staffed by a cadre of volunteers, yours truly included. Private donations coupled with a yearly sum from the town's operating budget kept things afloat, along with funds allocated by the state legislature, a federal stipend dispensed under the Congressional Victims of Crime Act, and, later, increased funding when the federal Violence Against Women Act was passed in Congress.
Cabot Cove was late in joining the statewide network of shelter programs for those who are abused, primarily because people were hesitant to acknowledge that such things existed in our tranquil small town. But Maine had recognized it as a serious problem as far back as 1973, and the movement to address domestic violence really picked up momentum in 2000 when then governor Angus King declared violence against women and children "Maine's Public Enemy Number One" in his State of the State Address. He dramatized his remarks by pointing to seats in the hall that had deliberately been left empty to represent those who'd been killed by domestic abusers.
I turned off the TV and climbed into bed. A feeling of well-being swept over me. As I often do, I thought about how fortunate I was to live in a place like Cabot Cove and to have so many wonderful friends. The town's strong sense of community has always been alive and well, and the establishment of the shelter is but one example of that spirit of reaching out to the less fortunate and more vulnerable.
My final thought as I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to wash over me was that life was good in Cabot Cove. I had no reason to think otherwise.

So I made my first venture into trying intarsia today. Overall, I enjoyed it. I worked off of a colouring book page and chose something rather simple as it was my first attempt. I also went simple as I currently have very limited shades of wood available! I will definitely try this again and will try something a little more complex next time. I think this one is going to find a home in my daughter's bedroom. She loves it!
The eyes were left hollow as my daughter preferred that look. The board on the back was just painted black before gluing it on to darken the eyes. The other thing that could have been added is whiskers. Perhaps on the next one!
