From the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Socialization also presents dangers. Excessive intervention by the state can threaten personal freedom and initiative. The teaching of the Church has elaborated the principle of subsidiarity, according to which "a community of a higher order should not interfere in the internal life of a community of the lower order, depriving the latter of its functions, but rather should support it in case of need and help to co-ordinate its activity with the activities of the rest of society, always with a view to the common good."
God has not willed to reserve to himself all exercise of power. He entrusts to every creature the functions it is capable of performing, according to the capacities of its own nature. This mode of governance ought to be followed in social life. The way God acts in governing the world, which bears witness to such great regard for human freedom, should inspire the wisdom of those who govern human communities. They should behave as ministers of divine providence.
The principle of subsidiarity is opposed to all forms of collectivism. It sets limits for state intervention. It aims at harmonizing the relationships between individuals and societies. It tends toward the establishment of true international order.
This is an unusual topic for me to blog about; I don't normally cover religious topics for a variety of reasons. Still, as I have watched the debate over ObamaCare unfold, I have noted with interest that the Catholic bishops in the United States have opposed socialized medicine only insofar as it would expand federal funding to abortion coverage. Their single issue opposition to ObamaCare has led to the perception that its funding of abortion is the only way it contradicts Catholic social teaching.
But that's not the case. Tea Party activists have opposed ObamaCare on the grounds that it violates the Tenth Amendment, which plainly says that the powers not reserved to the federal government or prohibited to the states should be reserved to the states or to the people. Catholic social teaching is similar in that it invokes the principle of subsidiarity, explained by the Catechism in the quote above. In essence, both the Tenth Amendment and the Catholic principle of subsidiarity are identical. Both make the case that a massive collectivist takeover of health care is not only unnecessary, but improper insofar as it "can threaten personal freedom and initiative."
You're reading that right: Both the United States Constitution and the Catechism of the Catholic Church repudiate collectivism and demand subsidiarity to preserve human freedom. On this issue, our founding fathers who wrote of our God-given liberty would be in lockstep with every pope since at least Pope Leo XIII.
Why point this out? It's not just a "fun fact." The bishops have opposed ObamaCare because it does, in fact, expand federal funding of abortion. But what if it hadn't? Had the Stupak amendment been preserved, the U.S. bishops were prepared to support the bill — despite its clear violation of the principle of subsidiarity. Certainly the right to life and the preservation of human dignity are the paramount concerns, the very foundation, of Catholic social teaching. But the principle of subsidiarity has again and again been expounded upon by the papal teaching authority. It is no small matter.
The U.S. bishops were in a unique position, as both Americans and Catholic bishops, to connect the Catholic principle of subsidiarity to our constitutional principles. They had an opportunity to tell American Catholics that opposing ObamaCare is both a patriotic and religious duty. They utterly failed to do so. They missed an opportunity to boldly reaffirm a mostly forgotten principle of Catholic social teaching, to affirm the link between the Catholic and American commitments to human freedom, and to once again take up the Catholic Church's historic leadership in the fight against global socialism.
Only the bishops can know why they have chosen not to take this opportunity. All we can do, as ordinary Catholics, is encourage them to elucidate this principle and its connection to American constitutional principles. In the meantime, as ordinary Catholics we can tell our fellow American Catholics, and all of our fellow Americans, what the Church teaches about God's model of governance versus the collectivist model proposed by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid.

Hi guys
just found this forum by accident, but have to say I enjoyed reading some of the posts on it, so thought I would post to let you know about a project i am currently working on.
Its a database that shows every club in Scotland from season 1980/81 to the present day, with the club kits used for each particular season, the manager and the playing squad. maybe not of interest to a lot of people but im hoping that some may find it as interesting as I do lol.
and by all means feel free to chip in with pics of old kits if you have them
ill post up an example of the work later today after work

Bear with me a moment, because I'm about to do something that goes against the grain of every right-minded amateur and professional general manager or football expert.
The incentives that voided the contract of Raiders Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha make complete sense.
Across the e-mail, blog, Twitter and talk radio landscape, crazy ol' Al Davis has been taken to task, and the Raiders vilified for being so incompetent as to not realize there was language in Asomugha's contract which could set him free after two years.
On the heels of dumping coach Tom Cable, much to the chagrin of a large part of its roster, Asomugha will — after a Collective Bargaining Agreement is reached — be able to field offers from anyone willing to write a big enough check for his services.
The Raiders know all about this, because they wrote the book on writing the check. The three-year deal Asomugha signed following the 2008 season for $45.3 million was met with dismay by 31 other teams because the market had been reset impossibly high.
If you want to know why Darrelle Revis didn't show up to training camp with the Jets this year, look no farther than the Raiders' deal with Asomugha.
At the time, the Raiders had both Asomugha and Pro Bowl punter Shane Lechler up for free agency. Asomugha had been franchised for $9.8 million in 2008, and Lechler's contract had expired.
The Raiders reeled both in by paying over the going rate. Way over the going rate.
Within Asomugha's deal, unknown until uncovered by ESPN's Adam Schefter Sunday, were likely-to-be-earned incentives that if not met, would automatically void the deal.
One was playing time, and Asomugha played less in 2010 than he did in 2009 because of an ankle injury, missing two games. The others were performance based. If Asomugha had so much as a single interception, a single sack, a single fumble recovery or a single forced fumble, there was no void.
In that case, the Raiders would have to decide whether to pay Asomugha $16.8 million or the average of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL, whichever was higher. In a year when Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees were in line for new contracts, no less.
There's a famous "Seinfield" episode about a television pilot about "nothing."
That's Asomugha in a nutshell.
Because he is so good at covering receivers, Asomugha is the most lonely member of the Raiders defense. Quarterbacks simply don't throw in his direction. He didn't give up a single touchdown pass this season.
That's all well and good, but it's a bottom line business, and the Raiders still gave up 29 touchdown passes and had 12 interceptions this season. If there's a ripple effect from Asomugha's lockdown skills, it's impossible to detect.
Over the past three seasons, including his franchise year, Asomugha has played 45 of 48 games. In those three years, the Raiders gave up 65 touchdown passes and Asomugha had two interceptions. The Raiders were 18-30 overall, but 2-1 when Asomugha was out of the lineup.
For that, he was paid $38.3 million.
Asomugha is the Raiders' most thoughtful interview, a team leader, a consummate professional and someone who thinks well beyond football in terms of philanthropic interests.
His picture could go next to the word "class" in the dictionary.
When Charles Woodson was with the Raiders, he was known for late nights, sleeping during meetings and letting his prodigious athletic skills make up the difference.
Yet in the two years when Woodson was franchised, pocketing $19.3 million for 19 games (he missed 13 due to injury), he was just as ignored as Asomugha by opposing quarterbacks and managed two interceptions, 2 ½ sacks, 11 passes defensed and three forced fumbles.
In those 19 games, Woodson had 103 tackles, and while tackles aren't an official statistic, Asomugha has 76 tackles and one forced fumble in his last 45 games. He played 14 games this season and had 19 tackles. That's three less than Hiram Eugene, two more than Rock Cartwright.
Woodson was a football player, Asomugha an able tackler himself but more of a cover guy. He's a specialist in the way that Lechler, Sebastian Janikowski and long-snapper Jon Condo are the highest-paid specialists in the NFL.
Lechler, Seabass and Condo actually have duties with the football far more often than Asomugha.
Even if the Raiders are at least partially at fault for scheme and not putting Asomugha in position to make enough plays, there is zero justification for paying a guy who covers receivers without making plays in the same ballpark as you would pay for Brady, Manning and Brees in terms of yearly salary.
So while the Raiders are getting criticized for including a contract void for no statistical production on a $16.8 million (or more) option year, I have a question.
Why wouldn't they include one?
If you're scheduled to pay a player that much and he doesn't have any one of those statistics in his favor, maybe you shouldn't be paying him that much.
The Raiders should absolutely do whatever they can to bring Asomugha back, but weigh it against his contributions to the bottom line, how they'll use him and what the market will bear.
If Asomugha chooses to join Revis with the New York Jets for bigger money or what he believes is a better chance at the Super Bowl, so be it.
As brilliant as Asomugha was at covering receivers in Oakland, it didn't begin to cover for weaknesses elsewhere. He was a luxury on a team not yet good enough to afford one.

Forecasters say temperatures will drop slightly across the Southland on Tuesday -- but it's still going to be a hot one.
A day after temperatures hovered around 100 degrees for much of the Los Angeles area, the National Weather Service said most places would see a cool-down of a couple degrees Tuesday.
The warmest areas will again be in the valleys, said weather service meteorologist Todd Hall in Oxnard. Woodland Hills is expected to hit 105 degrees, with temperatures reaching 103 in Pasadena and 102 in Burbank.
Downtown Los Angeles, which reached a near-record-breaking temperature of 95 degrees on Monday, is forecast to reach 94 on Tuesday. The record is 100 degrees in 2008.
"The actual measurements may be a degree or two cooler, but it won't feel much different," Hall said.

European banks promising return on equity (ROE) of around 15 percent in two years may face challenges hitting this target given the tough outlook, Societe Generale's chief executive said on Wednesday.
France's No. 2 listed bank has set itself an ROE goal of 10 percent by 2015, while rival banks including Switzerland's UBS and Britain's HSBC are aiming for at least 15 percent.
Continue Reading Below
SocGen is in the early stages of a drive to cut 900 million euros ($1.21 billion) in costs by 2015, as lenders across Europe set out new strategies to offset the impact of tougher post-crisis rules on risk-taking and the drag of weak euro zone growth.
"In the kind of environment we are in, I have some doubt that a lot of banks will do that well (and reach) 15 percent return on equity, after tax, in two years' time," SocGen CEO Frederic Oudea told a Merrill Lynch investor conference in London.
"My view is, if we can achieve this (10 percent), it's a very good basis on which we can further build."
UBS declined to comment, while HSBC was not immediately available to comment.
SocGen, which along with other French banks has enjoyed a share-price rebound over the past 12 months after a drive to sell assets and cut risk, is betting on growth at its Eastern Europe subsidiaries in Russia and Romania to lift profits.
Although SocGen's Russian Rosbank brand has shown little in the way of returns after a lengthy restructuring, Oudea said there was no need to review the bank's strategy, adding: "It's a question of execution."
The French bank is also improving its balance-sheet robustness by selling down its pile of toxic assets left over from the 2008 financial crisis. This portfolio has been cut by 600 million euros to 1.2 billion since June, Oudea said.
Asked whether the environment had improved enough to warrant cutting back on costly liquidity reserves, Oudea said the bank had already started to reduce its liquidity buffer and cited central-bank deposits.
"When I see the development of deposits (at SocGen) ... It makes no sense to have so much," he said.
The CEO's presentation also said that the bank had already met its long-term funding needs for 2013, with 21.4 billion euros raised from primarily unsecured issuance and private placements.

BOWIE, Md. (AP) — Prince George's County fire officials say a dog led a retired firefighter to a woman trapped in a burning Bowie home.
Fire officials say retired firefighter Billy Mills was running errands when he saw smoke and investigated. The barking dog then led Mills to a sliding glass door where he spotted the woman inside the home and pulled her to safety.
Fire officials say the woman is recovering from burns and smoke inhalation suffered in the fire Friday. Her dog, named Pumpkin, is at the Prince George's County Animal Management Facility.

NeNe Leakes will no longer be hosting the Xscape reunion tour after dropping a disgusting rape clapback at a heckler during one of her stand-up gigs.
Xscape released a statement Thursday morning saying they were "dismayed" by NeNe's remarks. Although NeNe apologized, Xscape emphasized they came to the decision as supporters of all women, and stand by all female rape victims.
They added, "This tour is for and about our fans and we want to provide an entertaining and enjoyable experience for every single person who attends." They also wished NeNe the best as she "navigates this very difficult period."
NeNe got booed last weekend in Oakland when she said she hoped a heckler got raped by their Uber driver.
The 'Real Housewives' star apologized later saying she regretted uttering the words, especially as she is an abuse victim herself.

If I've got > it wrong, please ignore the rest. =] I think this is critically important. undergrad projects are supposed to be not mere "recitations" - these days, building a cluster and running povray really fast is just that. projects that make a real contribution are the ones that lead to glowing faculty letters, mentions in the local newspaper, etc. so, find someone who can use the horsepower, scare up the money, and improve the world a little bit. someone else said: | An important part of silliness in promoting clustering is cost | effectiveness. Its the "we duct-taped these 30 PIII's together and it | runs faster than a Cray that used to cost $20 million" ploy. Even the | most cynical viewers will be impressed by scrap-bin supercomputing. I guess that people would also be impressed with awareness of reliability. after all, any sufficiently large compute cluster project must in large part also be a project in high-availability. I'm guessing that 30 whitebox PCs are getting close to the point of "cpu-fan collapse", where the whole is just not useful to anyone because it doesn't stay up long enough. I guess that counts as another argument against the undergrad-povray-project thing.

Services Provided by the Museum
The Mines Geology Museum offers guided tours of the museum and outdoor walking trail for groups of up to 30 guests of all ages. Tours start on the hour and last an hour. Reservations are required at least two weeks prior to your tour date to ensure a guide is available. Reservations to schedule tours are only taken by phone; please call 303-273-3815.
Content can be tailored to fit any age group or curriculum and can include:
- Rock and mineral properties
- Gemstones
- Fossils
- Specimen collecting
- Mining history
- Geologic and local history of the Golden area
All guides are qualified to discuss rock and mineral properties, however, as each of our student guides are knowledgeable in different areas, please indicate your preferred topics upon scheduling a reservation to allow time to find a guide for specialized information. The museum is certified to meet the requirements of the Webelos-Scout geology merit badge. Please call the front desk for more information at 303-273-3815.
The museum offers three types of hands-on educational kits which are loaned to the public for a period of no more than three weeks. A refundable deposit of $50 is required for each checkout. If all material is returned to the museum properly (nothing is missing or broken) and the kit is returned on time (no exceptions) the full deposit is given back. If something is damaged or missing or the kit is returned late that amount will be deducted from the deposit according to the prices provided on the contract. We accept cash (exact amount only) or check. We do not accept credit cards. Checks should be made out to CSM Geology Museum.
Kits can be reserved in advance, either in person or over the phone. They can be picked up or dropped off during regular business hours only. Finally, we do not mail kits, and the teacher (or a representative) must pick the kit up in person.
Rock and Mineral Classroom Kits: These kits are ideal for classrooms learning about the rock cycle and/or mineral properties. In particular, the classroom kits were specifically designed to address the state of Colorado geoscience standards for 4th and 6th grade. It includes a wide variety of minerals such as quartz, calcite and pyrite as well as many common igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks such as granite, sandstone and marble. Fifteen pieces of each specimen are provided making this kit ideal for medium to large sized groups (about 10 to 30 students.) Equipment such as magnets, hand lenses and hydrochloric acid are provided. Finally, an activity guide book and an educational video are included to assist the teacher. These are our most frequently checked out kits. See the museum's Facebook page for videos illustrating the kits and their contents.
Fossil Kits: Fossil kits are designed to teach students about fossils and geologic history. This kit is more appropriate for a junior high to high school level. These kits include fossils of teeth, claws, plants and more. A guidebook is provided which explains the fossils included in the kit. A collection of worksheets is also provided, which the teacher may photocopy and distribute to the students.
Teaching Trunks: Teaching Trunks cover a wide range of geologic concepts including the rock cycle, mineral properties, fossils, crystallography, birthstones/gemstones and more. However, because there is only one sample of each specimen, it is ideal for smaller groups, such as small boy/girl scout troops (fewer than 10 students.) This teaching trunk is more appropriate for single day "show and tell" lectures or for younger aged (kindergarten to 2nd grade) students.
Find something on a hike or a rock rolled up in an old pair of grandpa's long underwear? Want to know what it is? We can help.
We are happy to take a look at your unidentified specimen and, if possible, identify it. We have a variety of staff members well versed in rocks, mineral, fossils and meteorites. There is no charge for this service; however, please call in advance to ensure the staffer or volunteer with the best knowledge of your specimen type is present when you arrive.
In the unlikely event that an identification eludes us, we can refer you to a number of academic and commercial laboratories for further analysis at your expense.

Salazar, Levi A.
Many Metropolitan Areas throughout the United States are rapidly approaching a critical juncture in their development as centers for commerce and trade. Metropolitan Atlanta is one area that's posed for potential doom if regional municipalities and state agencies do not start working together to fix regional issues. Due to the area's large supply of affordable land, places of inhabitant have moved farther and farther away from the centers of employment. As development expanded to the outer suburbs, public transportation was unable to handle this growth because it was minimal and uncoordinated. These factors have lead to increasingly dreadful problem with urban sprawl, pollution, and congestion which has started to affect the quality of life for Atlanta's residents. To overcome the decentralized car-dependent planning traditions of the past, Metro Atlanta must develop a regional multi-modal transit station that will accommodate the Atlanta Regional Commission. With the expected growth in the region in the next 13 years, the Atlanta Metropolitan area will have to start rethinking the way it handles regional growth and transportation. Inhabitants of the region will require affordable housing near the places where they work or at least have access to public transportation. The public transportation will have to be provided at a scale and efficiently level so that people will prefer to take it rather than drive to work. Communities and neighborhoods will once again have to become pedestrian friendly and have amenities such as stores, schools and parks within walking distance so people don't have to drive. These improvements to the region will require the constituencies work together with the Atlanta Regional Commission to fund and maintain the building and planning of its infrastructure. There is still hope for the Atlanta region but it will take a reversal in the planning policies of sprawl to a high density urban core supported by public transportation.

Many individuals within BUNN travel around the world to conferences, coffee shows, tea shows, etc. These events are packed with interesting gadgets and products, and most come back with a cool souvenir. Kris Houser, the Director of Marketing Communications for BUNN, peaked my interest with her latest National Coffee Association Convention find- a gourmet grow-at-home mushroom kit. Some individuals had the chance to learn about this product from one of the inventors at SCAA Symposium in April too! This isn't any mushroom kit, but it's a kit that grows mushrooms entirely of coffee grounds. Coffee and sustainability- I had to learn more!
Back to the Roots, the manufacturer of the kits, was started by two friends who got the idea for their company during a college lecture. According to Back to the Roots website, the founders, Alejandron Velez & Nikhil Arora, "came across the idea during a class lecture of being able to potentially grow gourmet mushrooms entirely on recycled coffee grounds. Inspired by the idea of turning waste into wages & fresh, local food, they experimented in Alex's fraternity kitchen, ultimately growing one test bucket of tasty oyster mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds. With that one bucket, some initial interest from Whole Foods & Chez Panisse and a $5,000 grant from the UC Berkeley Chancellor for social innovation, they decided to forget the corporate route, and instead, become full-time urban mushroom farmers!"
The Grow-at-Home Mushroom kits allows families to grow oyster mushrooms at home in just 10 days. Look at the mushrooms Kris's kit produced! (Hopefully, she will share!)
These kits not only grow mushrooms, but they promote sustainability by using coffee grounds as the soil. The coffee grounds aren't wasted, but instead recycled to create tasty mushrooms. Back to Roots even upcycles shipping pallets to create merchandising units for their kits in retail locations. The company looks to share their passion and education about sustainability with their One for One campaign. For every person who posts a photo of their mushroom crop from their Grow-at-Home kit, Back to the Roots will donate a kit and sustainability curriculum to an elementary classroom of the consumers choice!
If you would like to grow your very own mushrooms check out the Back to the Roots website.
Thanks Kris for sharing your cool convention find!

It's just one game into the season, but the Vandals already look like a different baseball team.
After losing a 1-0 lead by committing two errors in the fourth inning, the Vandals rallied to score a run in both the sixth and seventh innings to beat Lincolnwood, 3-2, in their season-opener.
"I've seen our team get in the situation where a team scores two runs and the wind comes out of our sails and we deflate," said coach Luke Hohlt. "That's the way this team has been, but today we came through and finished strong."
Now that the streetscape has improved the appearance of Vandalia's downtown business district, one alderman said the city should consider action to make it more convenient for downtown shoppers.
But, Mayor Rick Gottman said, the city might not even be able to consider that action.
"I suggest that we begin a conversation on parking downtown," Alderman Andy Lester said at Monday's city council meeting.
"I would like to see us at least discuss … getting rid of parallel parking," Lester said.
It's not toilet humor at all.
A brick that sits on top of the water cooler in Vandalia has the words "flush it" written on it eight times, and the message doesn't pertain to bathrooms.
It actually has become a very serious motivator in the mental approach for each of Vandalia's baseball players, who use the phrase to get over mistakes.
With only one local contest on the ballot, light voter turnout was expected in Fayette County for Tuesday's primary election.
Vandalia's softball team has struggled with defense in its first few games of the year, but coach Brian Buscher still believes his team can have a successful season.
"We're 0-3, but we are good enough to be 3-0," he said. "We are better than this, but by no means are we playing well."
In the team's three official games, the Lady Vandals have committed 17 errors. In two innings of a game against
Hutsonville that was canceled by rain last Saturday, there were two more committed.
GREENVILLE – St. Elmo came away from two games at last Saturday's Greenville Round-Robin without any wins, but with some positive momentum.
In the first of back-to-back games, the Eagles lost a back-and-forth affair to Harvard, 8-7, and then stifled defending sectional finalist Greenville's offense in a 2-0 loss.
"Today, I think we turned the corner," said coach Ryan Beccue. "Last week, I thought we were so-so (in two games). Today, we were swinging better, so I'm not worried about being 1-3."
GREENVILLE – Though he is just a sophomore, Levi Maxey showed tremendous plate discipline during Saturday's 8-7 loss to Harvard.
In four plate appearances, Maxey did not swing and miss at any of the 14 strikes he saw, fouling off 12 of them.
"Doing that as a sophomore is a pretty big deal," said coach Ryan Beccue.
He fouled off the first four pitches of his at-bat in the third inning before singling to start a two-run rally, and he drew a walk on five pitches in the fourth inning to load the bases during a four-run inning.
BROWNSTOWN – Just two weeks ago, sophomore Calvin Boggs had back surgery.
In his first game after being cleared to return to the baseball field, no one would have guessed that Boggs had just recovered from a medical operation.
Boggs singled in his first at-bat on Tuesday and showed tremendous hustle on a pair of defensive plays, giving the Bombers something to be excited about on a day they lost to North Clay, 14-4.
St. Elmo junior Connor Beasley was named the Most Valuable Player of the Egyptian-Illini Conference to lead three Eagles on the first team.
Beasley averaged 13.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game to lead St. Elmo in both categories.
Seniors Ben Sperry and Blake Pruett were also named to the first team for the EIC champions.
First Team
•Beasley (MVP), St. Elmo
•Luke Moore, Cowden
•Sperry, St. Elmo
•Pruett, St. Elmo
•Jalen Hovis, Cowden
Saturday, March 17
at Charleston Indoor
•Quenten Austin, 55-meter high hurdles, 8.19 seconds. He placed fourth and broke his own school record in the event.
•Ryan Ambuehl, triple jump, 38 feet, 5 1/2 inches. He placed seventh.
•Ambuehl, 400-meter dash, 54.82 seconds. He placed eighth.
•Austin, high jump, 6 feet. He placed ninth.
•Wade Cowger, 800-meter run, 2:10.15. He placed 11th.
•Dalton Smith, 200-meter dash, 24.65 seconds. He placed 11th.

Fireplace Opens Koh
A solo show by Terence Koh, "yes, pleased," will open at the Fireplace Project in Springs tomorrow. In his first presentation at the gallery, Mr. Koh will offer a variety of mediums drawn from his work in drawing, sculpture, video, performance, and the Internet.
Mr. Koh, who was born in Beijing and raised by adoptive parents in Canada, was known as "asianpunkboy" prior to 2004, a name under which he designed artist books and zines and had many followers. He has since developed a public persona that is its own work of art, dressing only in white and living only in white surroundings. His work has been described as "born of queer youth culture and luxurious decadence."
A reception will be held on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. The show will remain on view through Aug. 12.
Eve Stuart in Springs
Eve Stuart, who divides her time between New York and East Hampton, will present her photographs this weekend at Ashawagh Hall. The exhibition opens on Saturday, with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m.
Ms. Stuart has studied at the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, the School of Visual Arts, and the International Center for Photography, among other institutions. Her images of ordinary objects are known for an ethereal or otherworldly sensibility that seems to come from the past.
Markel's New Show
Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in Bridgehampton will hold a group show beginning today and on view through Aug. 2. The artists, Eric Blum, Dan Gualdoni, and Annie Wildey, will all exhibit paintings.
Ms. Wildey straddles both abstraction and representation in her renderings of waterways, a battle of freedom and control, she says. Mr. Gualdoni takes a more internal approach to his imagery, drawing from memory of places he has been, using a rich but monochromatic palette derived from printer's ink and glue. Mr. Blum tends to find his images peripherally, attempting to capture glimpses of things that may or may not have been there. His materials are beeswax, silk, and resin, which create a scrimlike surface to view his semiabstracted compositions.
Woodblocks of the City
Woodblock prints of New York City by Ted Davies will be shown at Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor from today through Aug. 9.
Mr. Davies, who died in 1993, captured an earlier era. His subject matter includes Chinese laundries, in-town gas stations, and the old elevated trains. The colors he employs — warm yellows, oranges, and browns — heighten this sense of nostalgia. The highly detailed compositions reveal a vision of the city that is intimate and amused, according to the gallery. The artist lived in New York and Sag Harbor.
Jude Amsel's glass sculpture, with her photographic images floating within, will also be on view. Her work, meant to be placed on walls or pedestals, often deals with the themes of women's drive for success and wealth.
A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Studio Opening
Daria Deshuk will open her studio space on Maple Lane in Bridgehampton to present "Resonance," which was organized by Donna Leatherman. A reception serving summer cocktails will be held on Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m.
Ms. Deshuk will show photographs from her "Heaven on Earth" and "Meeting Narcissus" series, which explore healthy feminine iconography. The show will remain on view through August.
"For the Birds" in Sag
The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum is presenting a group show organized by Peter Marcelle through Sept. 3. The theme is "For the Birds."
Artists in the exhibition include John Alexander, Eric Ernst, Kimberly Goff, Jane Johnson, Tom Judd, Susan Lazarus-Reimen, Steve Mannino, Dina Merrill, Paton Miller, Amy Pilkington, Dan Rizzie, Hunt Slonem, Joseph Stella, Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth, and Darius Yektai.
A reception will be held on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.
Canio's Landscapes
"Imaginary Landscapes," featuring paintings and pastels by Pamela Collins Focarino and Gabriele Raacke's reverse paintings on glass, will open at Canio's Books today and will remain on view through Aug. 16.
A reception will be held tomorrow evening from 5 to 7.
Isham Open Studio
Sheila Isham will open her Southampton studio for three days this weekend, from tomorrow through Sunday. The artist plans to show works from a series called "China Revisited," consisting of recent calligraphic paintings and works on paper, along with some older works painted in the early 1960s, when she was living in Hong Kong.
The studio will be open tomorrow and Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. The address is 55 Mariner Drive.
Barry McCallion's Books
The Community Arts Project will present Barry McCallion and "The Oarsman's Library," a demonstration of the production of artists' books, on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Springs Presbyterian Church's parish hall.
Mr. McCallion has had a long career as a painter and has exhibited widely in Australia and Europe. More recently, he began his investigations into book arts. Refreshments will be served following the presentation. A donation of $10 will be requested for the church and its food pantry.
Parrish Talks
The Parrish Art Museum will present two talks in the week ahead related to its exhibitions now on view.
Adam Bartos, a photographer, whose images from Long Island are now being shown at the museum, will speak with Alicia Longwell, the chief curator of the Parrish, tomorrow at noon about his work. The talk is free with museum admission.
Next Thursday, Joshua David and Robert Hammond, co-founders of Friends of the High Line, will discuss the creation and evolution of the elevated park in West Chelsea with Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel. She is the curator of the exhibition "Landmarks of New York," a photography show now on view, and a founding High Line director. This talk will be presented at 6:30 p.m.; tickets are $10, or $5 for members. Reservations are required.
A "Gorilla Monsoon"
Outeast Gallery in Montauk will present a solo show of Mason Saltarrelli titled "Gorilla Monsoon," beginning tonight with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m.
Originally from New Orleans, Mr. Saltarrelli is now Brooklyn-based. He makes narrative works on paper and wood with themes drawn from "religious, tribal, and personal symbology," according to the gallery.
The show will be on view through Aug. 13.
Clay Art
The Celadon Gallery in Water Mill will show "Clay: Collect it, Use it, Wear it!" beginning tomorrow.
The juried show is a collaboration between the Long Island Craft Guild and the Clay Art Guild of the Hamptons. It features Jeanne Berkowitz, Gina Mars, Puneeta Mittal, Maria Orlova, Sigrid Owen, Patricia Hubbard-Ragette, Barbara Rocco, Phyllis Sullivan, Tom Walter, and Joan Walton.
A reception will be held on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The show will remain on view through Aug. 12.
Selling Your Art
The last seminar of Jane Martin's four-part series "The Business of Art" will tackle the complexities of taking one's art to market. "Selling Your Art" will cover how to develop relationships with galleries, art consultants, interior designers, and art fairs. It will also explore taking one's artwork straight to national and international audiences through Internet sites such as 1st Dibs, allowing artists to be gatekeepers of their own market.
The guest speakers are Lisa Freedman, a public relations strategist for the arts, and Anne Raymond, an artist.
The class will be held at the Springs Presbyterian Church from 5 to 7 p.m. The cost is $40, payable by cash or check only, at the door. No reservations are required.

Wasiliszki (Slownik Geograficzny translation)
Note: I have retained the Polish diacritics here, but do not know if they display properly in all browsers. If they do not, please let me know in a comment here, and I will remove the diacritics. Thanks!
Governmental town on the river Tęcza (or Duma?), Lida powiat, in the 4th police district, gmina and rural district of Wasiliszki, at 35 km. northwest of Lida and 157 km. from Wilno, has 2,728 residents. In the year 1866 there were 244 houses, 1,841 residents (5 Orthodox, 453 Catholics, 1,383 Jews).
It possesses an Orthodox church [of the] Szczuczyn deanery (633 faithful), Catholic parish church, synagogue, police district and gmina administration offices, public school (86 pupils in the year 1885), and post office. Markets are held weekly on Sunday.
The parish church, called by the name of St. Peter the Apostle, was built of wood in 1489 by King Kazimierz, and restored in 1747. A Catholic parish in Radun deanery, it has 8,086 faithful. It had a chapel in Wolczynki.
The rural district encompasses the town Wasiliszki and the villages Aleksandrówka, Bakszty, Chodziele, Dylewo, Dziegciary (Dziechciary), Kaszyce, Kleszniaki, Konstantynowo, Kronki, Krupowszczyzna, Kurpie, Lachówka, Miękiszki (Miakiszki), Psiarce, Roźniatycze, Starodworce, Szkordzie, and Zybały; zascianek [settlement of poor yeomen] Sosna; and szlachta [nobility] areas Dziegciary, Grabniki, Kaszczyce, Krupowszczyzna, Starodworce, Szlachtowszczyzna, Werejkiszki, and Zybały. In general, in the 1865 census of subjects, 784 souls were treasury peasants, 44 jednodwory [very minor szlachta/nobility], and 214 enfranchised peasants.
The gmina belongs to the 1st peace district of peasant affairs and 1st conscription district, as well as the 1st circuit court of peace of Lida district, consisting of 3 rural districts (Wasiliszki, Glinicze, and Szejbakpol), comprising 87 municipalities, having 543 houses and 7,514 peasant inhabitants. According to the list of 1861, there were counted in the gmina 1,181 treasury peasants, 55 jednodwory, 3 Jewish farmers, and 1,163 enfranchised peasants.
The terrain is flat, the soil sandy and gravely; there are forests, meadows, and marshes. Irrigating the area are the rivers Szkordziówka, Lebiodka, Kościeniewka, Wierch Lebiodka, and Niewiczka. There is here an unenclosed/unfenced settlement, along with extensive appurtenances, that was established long ago and that at that time belonged to the ekonomii stołu królewskiego [land-steward of the king's table?].
The earliest starostas of Wasiliszki were Jan Steckowicz (in the year 1499), Jan Radziwiłł (1500-01), Wasil Lwowicz Hlińiski (1501-04), Stanisław Piotrowicz Kiszka (1505-06), Jan Szczytowicz (1507-15), Jakub Kuncewicz (1518-23), Jan Radziwiłł (1523-41), Kacper Kuncewicz (1546), ks. Mikołaj Radziwiłł (1546-54), Jan Wołczkowicz (1569).
In 1658, Marcin Dominik Limon, judge of the Lida area, subsequently castellan of Witebsk (d. 1670), founded a church with a Dominican monastery, which was granted the estate of Szkordzie by Katarzyna née Abrahamowicz Frackiewicz, an author of Polish literature, who endowed it in 1662 with a bequest of 10,000 Polish złoty.
In 1706, during the Second Swedish War, Stanislaw Leszczynski stayed here with his military forces for some time in February (while King Charles XII [of Sweden] was encamped at Zoludek), and here he accepted the Lithuanian szlachta's declaration of surrender to him.
In 1766 the starostwo of Wasiliszki was possessed by Michał Ogiński, governor of Wilno, and subsequently by Aleksandrowicz, chamberlain, paying 4,566 Polish złoty, 15 grosz kwarta [tax for upkeep of the army], and 3,500 Polish złoty hyberna [tax for maintaining the army in winter].

Hi Barbara.ReplyDelete
I finally got a bit of quiet time at Christmas to check out your blog. Nice work. I also like the links to more books for me to read and more films for me to see!
Tony, thanks! I'm trying to learn more about the history of our Lida area ... for starters, the Swedish-Polish wars with Russia.ReplyDelete

Arsenal are confident that they can wrap up a deal which would see Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain join the club as soon as next week according to the Daily Mail.
The Premier League side have shown interest in the Argentinian striker for several seasons now and it finally looks like they will be getting their man.
It was announced a month ago that the striker wanted to leave Real Madrid and there were talks that he could join Italian champions Juventus, but as of Monday, it was Arsenal that were favourites to capture the striker.
It is reported that Arsenal are set to offer £22million for the Argentinian striker and it isn't known whether or not the Spanish side will accept that offer, but it is expected that they will wait until they appoint a new manager after Jose Mourinho left the club.
It has been suggested that officials from Arsenal Football Club have spoken privately to Higuain and his agent about a possible move to the Emirates Stadium and both parties are very keen for it to happen.
Higuain announced his intentions to leave the Bernabeu and then followed those original comments up by claiming he thinks a move to Arsenal would suit him.
Not only are the Gunners confident of bringing in Higuain, they are also confident they can keep defenders Bacary Sagna and Laurent Koscielny.
Both Sagna and Koscielny are wanted from foreign clubs, but it looks like Arsenal will not be selling their star-players at the back.
It is thought that Arsenal and Real Madrid just need to agree a price for the striker and then the deal will be all-but done and the Premier League side are confident it can be done within the next fortnight.
Not only are they willing to spend over £20million on a single player for the first time ever, they are also prepared to offer the striker a whopping £150k-a-week, which would make him the club's highest earner.

"If Blizzard added your main as an NPC in WoW, where would they be located and what would be their function? Give us a shot illustrating the fact."
Of course, my first thought was "which main?" There's my old main, Quintalan, basking in retirement, and my current pair of mains, Tomakan (Alliance) and Nevelanthana (Horde), who will soon be retiring once Mists drops. I haven't decided on a new main, but Adelwulf is probably in the mix.
Then I remembered how we used to handle our characters in the old AD&D games I played my first time around as an RPGer. Once a character amassed enough wealth and/or power, we had the character merely 'retire' to live out the rest of life as the lord of some castle-or-other. Essentially, our characters became NPCs in the game world.
So I was already doing to my WoW characters what I'd done all that time ago: making them de facto NPCs.
Therefore, I'm going to take a look at each of my already retired or soon-to-be-retired mains and see what they'd be up to.
Quintalan, Blood Knight Loremaster
Mu'ru is gone, his spark used to re-ignite the Sunwell.
The Blood Knights loyal to Liadrin, Lor'themar, and Halduron Brightwing fought and defeated Kil'Jaeden as part of the Shattered Sun Offensive. Many went on to lend support to the Argent Crusade in the struggle against Arthas.
Lady Liadrin now resides at the Sunwell, speaking to pilgrims from all over.
Therefore, it falls to the veterans of the Blood Knights, such as Quintalan, to indoctrinate the new initiates into the fold.
As the bearer of Quel'Delar, he roams Eversong Woods and the Ghostlands as a quest giver. His quests concern the Blood Knight lore: their creation, their fall, and their redemption. (As a model, look at the Demon Hunter quest chain in Felwood, but spread out over a longer time.)
Initially, he is found alone, looking at the Shrine of Dath'remar on Sunstrider Isle.
|Does anybody ever read the plaque here?
Later, he wanders between Fairbreeze Village, Tranquillien in the Ghostlands, and the Farstrider enclaves in both Eversong and the Ghostlands.
|Eversong is a beautiful and pleasant place.
Pay no attention to that Dead Scar over Q's left shoulder.
He gives Blood Knights quests at L20 and L40 on the history of the Order. Upon completion of the L40 quest, the Blood Knight opens an additional quest in which Quintalan presents the Blood Knight to Lady Liadrin at a phased version of the Sunwell. The Lady gives her approval to accept the Blood Knight as a squire of the Order, and sends the new squire on a quest chain for the purpose of atoning for the misdeeds of the fallen Blood Knights. At the completion of the quest chain (and at >= L60), the Blood Knight receives a message to seek Quintalan out, and he initiates a special chain which takes the Blood Knight to the Sunwell for a presentation before A'dal and Liadrin. The latter then gives the Blood Knight the Order's tabard, signalling acceptance as a full Blood Knight.
Nevelanthana, Arcane Tinkerer
Quintalan's sister was never the one for history. She spends her days between the Isle of Quel'Danas and Dalaran, exploring the Arcane and stretching the boundaries of what it can do. At her room in Dalaran, she is surrounded by her beloved books of Arcana and the mages whose order she longed to join as a youth. The post-Kil'Jaeden Quel'Danas is a hive of activity and optimism as Sindorei and Queldorei work to rebuild and cleanse the place of the demonic taint. She refuses to get involved in factional politics, but Arcane arguments are a different matter.
On Quel'Danas, she is found among a group of Magisters and Arcanists, each arguing over who should gain possession of the recently cleared out Magister's Terrace. (Her argument: "I helped to exterminate the vermin in the place, so I should get a stake in administering it.")
|When I get my rooms at Quel'Danas,
my books are coming with me!
In Dalaran, Neve begins a Mage quest chain that ends in the Mage learning how to port to both Quel'Danas and Wyrmrest Temple. A final quest explores the possibility of a portal to Coldarra, yet in the end she concludes that "the ley lines surrounding the Nexus have yet to completely stabilize, rendering a portal unusable for the time being."
|Come on, Celindra, it can't be THAT
difficult to get a portal open to the Sunwell!
Tomakan, the Voice of Reason
A Draenei who sincerely believes in the words "be kind to those less fortunate", Tomakan has seen everything the length and breadth of Azeroth. To him, the greatest danger to the world doesn't reside in what's left of Twilight's Hammer, or even the Horde, but in one of Azeroth's most vexing races: Gnomes.
The Hand of Argus is firmly convinced that somehow, somewhere, some pint sized engineer wannabee is going to be the person who accidentally opens a portal for the Burning Legion to enter the world. And if he can help it, that fate is not going to happen on his watch.
Therefore, in a supreme act of sacrifice, he has taken up residence around the outskirts of Gnomeregan in a (mostly vain) attempt to guide the Gnomes' research away from anything resembling portals or dark knowledge. He is a quest giver who has an Engineer make certain items to give to the Gnomish engineers nearby, giving the Trinket "Headslap of the Light" as a reward.*
|And in Comic Sans, too!!
*That trinket's special ability is to stun an enemy by a slap to the head.

The Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions, is known throughout the world for its Landscapes and for the Works of Art that it houses (It is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance). Six localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the Historical Center of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pienza, the Square of the Cathedral of Pisa with the Leaning Tower and the Val d'Orcia. It is in the central Italy and borders with Emilia Romagna (north), Marche and Umbria (east) and Lazio (South). The West coast is bathed from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea; here we can find the islands of the Tuscan archipelago including the island of Elba. The regional capital is Florence and the other provinces are: Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.

9-foot, 300-pound gator awakens family on Easter morning
A South Carolina family was awakened Easter morning by a commotion on their front porch and found a 9-foot 300-pound alligator.
The Polston family, who lives in Mount Pleasant, said they first thought someone was trying to break-in to their home, but found that the gator had climbed onto their porch.
They said the large reptile had to climb a 15-foot staircase, break through a screen, climb through a doorway and then push furniture out of the way.
"He was perfectly happy and would have stayed for however long," Steve Polston said.
The family called the South Carolina Department of Natural Resource to remove the alligator. Wildlife experts said this type of behavior is not unusual for alligators this time of year.
They said the reptiles are making their way out of hibernation and begin defending their territory as they move into mating season and warmer waters.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel Today recently interviewed Palestinian doctor Jumana Odeh, who has won numerous awards internationally for her work with special needs children.
The full interview will appear in our upcoming April 2013 magazine (don't miss it - SUBSCRIBE NOW) as an example of both the possibility for peaceful coexistence and the enormous hurdles that must still be overcome thanks to a generation of anti-Israel indoctrination among the Palestinians.
Below is a portion of the interview that demonstrates that indoctrination, and, even more interestingly, reveals that even among the most educated and traveled of Palestinian professionals, US President Barack Obama is viewed as a fellow Muslim.
Israel Today: Obama is known as the first US president to be close to the Muslim world. As such, is he a fair partner in the peace process?
Dr. Odeh: I hope so. In his first four years, Obama didn't demonstrate that. I was happy that he was elected, as an African-American, and a Muslim by birth. This identity is very special, it's special for the United States to have such a president. The American role is very important for the Middle East, so I hope he will be able to do something in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel Today: As a female Palestinian professional, what would you say to Obama about American involvement in the peace process, given the opportunity?
Dr. Odeh: Be fair and consider both parties equally. We (Palestinians) have never been treated properly. Always the occupiers and the occupied are treated as similar, but we are not. The Israelis are the occupiers, and we are the occupied. At the same time, I don't like to play the role of a victim. Me personally, I am not a victim. We are freedom fighters, and one day we will win, for the sake of both peoples.

Service Objects DOTS NCOA Live API
The service provides access to a database of over 50 million permanent change-of-address (COA) requests registered with the U.S. Postal Service. It processes raw output from the USPS NCOALink service, updated weekly, and makes it available for comparison with current address records. Where a mailing list contains an old address, the service can provide updated mailing information allowing direct mail and other communications to follow past contacts to their new locations. API methods support submission of at least 100 address records for comparison against old addresses listed in USPS COA requests. Where a match is found, the API returns a validated new address for the recipient to be updated in the calling application's records. Methods also allow reporting on the number of addresses updated and their validation status.

Beneath bluebird skies and with temperatures in the low 60s, Foothill Boulevard in La Cañada Flintridge was filled with runners, families and pets Thursday morning for the Thanksgiving Day Run and Food Drive.
In the event's 19th year, an estimated 1,500 participants came out to Memorial Park to run or walk for the nonprofit Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge and contribute to a canned food drive.
Community Center Executive Director Deb Jordan said she believed runner and volunteer registration showed an increase from past years.
"About 1,000 people preregistered for the run and a couple hundred came to the park and registered," Jordan said. "Sponsorship is up, runners are up, we've doubled the number of volunteers this year. So everything's up."
The center and the Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station have collected nearly 35 barrels of non-perishable food and hope to deliver goods to about 120 families in the foothill area, said Sheriff's Deputy Jorge Valdivia, coordinator of the food drive.
"This year, we're more than OK with the food," Valdivia said. "The Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge did a wonderful job in their promotion and it's going to help us."
The winner of the 5k racewas Connor Kamm, who finished with a time of 15:10. Originally from Encino, Kamm flew out from Nashville, Tenn., to participate in the race and to spend Thanksgiving with his family in Sherman Oaks.
"This is the third year [my family's] done this race. It's kind of a fun turkey trot towards the end of the year to do," Kamm said. "I run a lot and I just ran a half marathon last weekend, so this is just something fun."

Cyclist killed using mayor's hire bike and Superhighway schemes
Appalling news, again.
Last night (Friday) another cyclist was killed at a junction in collision with a HGV.
Again the cyclist was a female and for the first time, the cyclist was riding a hire bike (also known as a"Boris bike"). It also appears the cyclist was on the blue-painted Cycle Superhighway 2.
This time the collision was at the junction of Commercial Road and Whitechapel Road in east London, a junction well-known to cyclists for not feeling safe.
We don't know the exact circumstances of what happened.
Whether the experience of the cyclist riding the hire bike is a factor we don't know. We also don't know yet if the painted blue lane of the Cycle Superhighway lulled the cyclist into a false sense of security.
Busiest routes
But this is bound to lead to more questions (again) about the safety of cycling in London.
London is embarking on safer segregated infrastructure particularly at junctions but this will again raise concerns about progress and speed of delivery.
There will also be many questions about where we are putting these Cycle Superhighways and how they encourage cyclists on to certain roads.
They are on the busiest routes to decrease cycling commuter times.
In 2012 Jenny Jones from the Green Party on the London Assembly raised concerns about this route, saying: "Traffic on red routes [is] too high for drivers to tolerate cyclists."
The bike hire and cycling superhighways are both Mayoral flagship transport projects and now someone has died while using them.
This death will undoubtedly raise the temperature in the safety debate.
It will also mean the Mayor will have to answer serious questions about the safety of his cycling schemes.
This is not the first cyclist to die at a junction on a cycling superhighway. Brian Dorling, a very experienced cyclist, died on a superhighway at Bow roundabout.
The overwhelming feeling it leaves me with, is that for all the education programmes on blind-spots and millions being invested in safety, and for all the well-meaning exchange programmes for cyclists and HGV drivers - I'm afraid it doesn't seem to be working yet.

UPDATE: Some clarifying info from Mr. Shortz himself:
To clear up the confusion regarding 23x crosswords ...
Kevin McCann misquoted me on Cruciverb. I never banned them. I simply discouraged them, because they're difficult for me to use in the downsized Sunday Times Magazine.
A couple years ago the Sunday Magazine had its trim size significantly reduced. I can no longer print a 23x and KenKen and the KenKen answers from the previous week on a single page. The KenKen answers have to go elsewhere in the Magazine, for which I need to get approval, which is a pain and an uncertainty. So I just discourage 23s.
But for a 23x (or any odd-size puzzle) I really like, I'll still take it. I'll find a way to use it.
Note that a 22x21 isn't really affected by the above rule. By shortening the clues a little, I managed to fit everything into the usual space.

Nothing reasonable probably. I've asked other people who went to RU-N, and everyone says it's fine. So I am just going to believe that for now. Are there usually a lot of people around even in the evening? You starting in the fall?
... and that's the great thing about RU-N. The fact that it's in Newark tends to urge people to research the school itself. I have spoken with quite a few people who attended it, and they had nothing negative to say about it except for "don't venture too much out into Newark"... I am really happy with my decision - no "buyer's remorse" for me
I actually think I saw Starbucks on Broad street... fairly close to the school. Maybe I'm wrong - but I'm pretty sure I saw it. Is there a Starbucks locater? )Where are you, guys, going to live?

CULVER CITY, Calif. -- The NFC West has evolved into a wild, unpredictable beast of a division.
Just three seasons ago, the jokes flowed with ease as the Seattle Seahawks sealed up the West with a ghastly 7-9 record. Since, the Seahawks have grown into a conference power with arguably the finest roster in all of football -- just don't go telling that to the San Francisco 49ers.
"I think people like the next best thing," 49ers All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman told Around The League on Friday. "I think people like seeing the challenger get close to being the best. That's what they're doing. (The Seahawks) had a great game against us at their house (a 42-13 victory over the 49ers in Week 16.) (They) turned heads, knowing that we were a good team, and the cookies fell where they may.
"You have to earn these things. This is their first time being mentioned like that, in this sentence, and we'll see what they'll do with that."
The 49ers-Seahawks rivalry has morphed into a fascinating grudge match largely because of how alike the teams are: Both are imaginative on offense and blisteringly physical on defense.
"They're a good team," Bowman said. " ... I think it's built our division up, I think it's made it a lot tougher and people understand now, when they play us, that us guys in the NFC West -- they have to come play us."
I asked Bowman, point-blank, if the Seahawks have drawn even with the 49ers.
"I don't do the judging," he said. "All I know is, the 49ers? We work hard every single day. That's all I know. I know that we're going to come and play every single day."
For the NFC West -- and all of the NFL -- September cannot come soon enough.
