duh, no brainer. Although this does open the door to allowing attack dogs in to rip the testicles off of rapists...After a conviction, of course.

I would really like to see a change in our court system. First and foremost I'd like to see that something is done about frivolous law suits. Beyond that and more relevant to this post, I'd like to see the system make it more difficult to appeal. After all, appealing because a service dog gave a measure of comfort to an abused child is utterly ridiculous and defies any kind of logic.
Just as service dogs are accepted or tolerated in medical facilities, public offices, etc.; it goes without saying that they should also be incorporated into courthouses.
By the way, I love your blog and I visit it frequently. I have also incorporated your link within my DogProducts.org site as a valuable resource for my visitors. Would you be willing to return the favor by placing my link right here on your blog?

Let me start by saying I do not claim to be an expert,why? Once you feel you know everything about a subject (Ms.ONeil) you will stop learning.
Ms ONeal basically said she is training a service dog to do what every dog already does & that is use their instincts of smell and once they smell fear almost any dog will react to the fear smell. Frankly, it sounds to me that it`s about making money, after all who knows what the cost of a dog to do long downs,stays, and use their nose would be??

PLEASE, PLEASE use correct, legal terminology. The public is already confused enough without the media (and a lawyer nonetheless) conveying incorrect information . Service animals are legally defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the key is they are individually trained to assist a person with a DISABILITY to mitigate that disability. No disability - not a service dog. Why is that important? Because a person with a disability has the right for their service dog to accompany them wherever the general public is allowed, including restaurants, stores, medical appointments, etc. Link to ADA regulations: http://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm
It doesn't matter if the courtroom dog is trained to the same standards as a service dog or by a service dog organization (or else everyone would take their well trained dog out as a "service dog"). Call these dogs "courtroom dogs" or "facility dogs" but NOT "facility service dogs".

As a defense attorney (and a former prosecutor)who has actually tried sex cases, I think that the dogs are a distraction. While I think that in theory (and I'm sure in practice) having the dogs there to soothe the child witness is beneficial to the witness, I do think that it could unduly influence the jury to be more sympathetic to a witness. And that's just not fair.

I would invite you to look at the website for courtroom dogs as they reference just your suggestion.
Submitted by Ellen O'Neill-S... | August 24 2011 | Permalink
Courthouse dogs are for everyone including defendants. If a witness can demonstrate to the judge that having the dog, if one is available, would make it easier for the witness to describe what happened to the jury, then the dog should be available. The National Crime Victim Law Institute is in agreement with this philosophy.
Currently there is case law and state statutes that permit a judge to accommodate a vulnerable witness who has to testify in court by allowing a child to hold a comfort item like a teddy bear or have a support person in the vicinity of the witness. The defense usually makes the same argument that these accommodations are distracting or make the witness more sympathetic to the jury.
Facility Service Dogs, who are trained to assist many people,and do not fall under the ADA, are able to lie on the floor barely moving while the witness testifies. Quite often they are totally or partially covered by the witness box. A prosecutor would avoid trying to make the dog cute and cuddly because that could cause a mistrial or raise that issue on appeal.

I'm familiar with the use of dogs to provide a calm attention point for people testifying who suffer from Severe/Persistent Mental Illness. The dogs simply exist in the courtroom, the person is able to focus on the dog while answering both the DA and defense attorney's questions. Much less stressful and much more productive for all concerned.
Both the cases cited were children, but the technique works for adults, and for both defense and prosecution. If defense close-questioned and set off a child that would be so much more prejudicial to the outcome.

Experience a harmonious balance between conventional cruising and private yachting, along with an exciting voyage of discovery, unravelling the Treasures of South Italy, Sicily and Malta. You'll navigate around Sicily and explore Taormina, Syracuse, Agrigento and Cefalu. Stop in the islands of Capri, Malta and Lipari- all so different, but equally amazing. Each day you will discover a new port of call, a hidden cove with crystal blue waters to cool you, a glimpse of ancient history to amaze you and rich cultural diversity to intrigue you.

Cruise Departure Dates:
2014: Sep 28, Oct 5,12
Enjoy a private airport transfer in Rome (Fiumicino/Ciampino) with a private vehicle and driver. Please note drivers may or may not speak English, as their sole responsibility is to transfer clients from one location to another. If you would like to have the presence of an English speaking assistant or guide for your transfer, this can be pre-arranged upon request and would be subject to an additional supplement.
Enjoy a full day private tour of Rome exploring the rich past of the Roman era taking in the most famous sites of Imperial Rome. The Capitolium square owes its splendid layout to Michelangelo. The Roman Forum, the centre of Imperial Rome, lies just down the valley between the Palatine, Quirinale and Capitolium hills. Several Temples, Triumphal Arches, Ancient Basilicas, Rostra, the Curia House and many other ancient monuments, make this valley a sort of open-air museum. See all of these sights, including the Colosseum, with your Private Guide as you discover the wonders of Rome.
Your excursion will continue with a private tour of the Vatican city - the centre of Christianity, to discover the artistic and spiritual heritage, which is testimony of 2000 years of faith and culture. The visit will include the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica. Inside the Basilica it is not allowed to speak at high tone; for this reason your guide will whisper in a microphone and you will be provided with a radio headset to clearly hear the description of one of the biggest wonders of Christianity. (Entrance included).

Port charges are included in your itinerary.
Early in the morning you reach Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands. Lipari sits on red volcanic rock and looks like ''a wall of bronze'' according to the Greek poet Homer. Archaeological remains found here have yielded clues to civilizations which date to 1700 BC, including the Neolithic stones that sit alongside ancient tombstones, and ruins of Greek walls and Roman villas. The Spaniards found their way here in the 16th century, building the Castello (castle) and the 17 century cathedral that is perched above the harbour; All of these sights will be available to see on this morning's optional sightseeing excursion.
This afternoon your mega yacht reaches Taormina, where you'll have the rest of the day at your leisure. Overnight at anchor.
This morning you go ashore for a memorable visit to Taormina, clinging to the cliffs over the sea.
With endlessly winding medieval streets and secluded gardens hidden by stone walls, Taormina enchants visitors with its history and beauty. Today's optional excursion features a stroll along the Corso Umberto through the Old Town, lined with piazza, duomos and palazzi such as the Palazzo Santo Stefano. Later the tour will take you to the ancient Greek Theatre, hewn out of a rocky mountain slope during the Hellenistic period, remodelled by the Romans. The amphitheatre offers magnificent views of the sea and is one of Sicily's largest. Afterward, the afternoon is at leisure to see more of the city or even visit the Etna Volcano.

You will visit exquisitely-preserved Noto, a jewel of a town situated on a plateau surrounded by olive and almond groves.In the evening, you'll leave Syracuse for an overnight sailing to Malta.
Malta was home to a rich prehistoric culture that created megalithic structures that are among the world's most impressive. The structures at the Tarxien and elsewhere on the island were built before Egypt's Great Pyramids. The island was later occupied by Phoenicians and Carthaginians, followed by the Romans. The optional morning and afternoon tours will allow you to see these prehistoric sites as well the historic sites of Valletta, the island's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city. The walking tour in the afternoon will include a visit inside St. John's Cathedral to see its stunning interior and art treasures such as the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, a masterpiece in oil by the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio, Flemish tapestries and silver artifacts.

Luther scored twice in the second half en route to a 2-0 victory over University of Dubuque tonight for Homecoming. The win was Luther's fourth in a row, but more importantly kept them unbeaten in conference play with a mark of 3-0.
Erin Wilson (2) scored what proved to be the game winner at 60:49 on a header off a corner kick by Melisse Chasse (4). Erika Balk (2) knocked in an unassisted goal at 76:14 that found the left corner of the Spartans net.
Sydney Haaland went the distance if front of the nets and turned away both Dubuque shots on goal.
The victory levels Luther's overall record to 5-5. Dubuque fell to 1-2 in the Iowa Conference, 8-3-0 overall.

Lee...I love my subscription to Bark and always enjoy your offerings in that publication! Your adventures with Chloe are like a breath of fresh air! The recent story about the faithless doggie friend while you and Chloe were travelling cracked me up! Especially when she fell in "love" with that large stuffed dog! Revenge is sweet...ha! Anyway, I would love to be able to write about my dogs and our adventures like you. Do you think that with new technology like Amazon's Kindle that it will make it easier for independent authors to "break out' into mainstream? It appears to be working for W.Bruce Cameron. One thing that has always held me back is not knowing anyone in the "biz" and not knowing how one gets an agent, or if you need one, or how to approach a publisher. Seems like self-publishing might be a good way to break in. What do you think?
Hi Emma -
the word in the publishing industry is that agents are becoming obsolete. And authors are gaining more "power." We can self publish and take 70% of the earnings. in the traditional agent/publisher model, the agent takes 15% and the publisher takes (I think) 80%, leaving the author with 10%. Not ideal in the modern world.

Hi Lee,
I picked up a copy of Bark at Whole Foods not too long ago and very much enjoyed. Since "Like"ing Bark on Facebook, I followed a couple of your posts and now "Like" you too! I have to say that I smile to myself when reading your posts. So, no question, just a compliment!

I just wanted to tell you that I thoroughly loved Rex in the City. I read the book over 2009-2010. It took a long time to get through because our dog, Sherlock, was diagnosed with cancer New Years Eve 2009 and passed away in June 2010. I had to set Rex aside for months at a time.
Finally, last autumn, I picked up the book again and was determined to finish. By this time I had already read in Bark that Rex had gone too. It was painful thinking of Rex in the past tense because I felt I knew him as much as my own dog. Still, finishing reading Rex was the first step in helping to heal my own grief and be ready to bring a new dog into my life. It reminded me that the pain at the end is worth it because of all the joy along the way.
Not a day goes by that I don't miss Sherlock. But, we have adopted TWO new dogs - Ranger and Shadow - from the Humane Society.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your stories.
Dear Bunny - thank you so much for sharing this. I am very moved. Is Sherlock (always present tense) a Bassett? That's what I am picturing.
Submitted by Bunny | June 15 2011 | Permalink
Sherlock is a Siberian Husky and Anatolian Shepherd mix. He topped out at 140 lb. Ranger is a Belgian Malinois mix. He was approximately 60 lb and 2 years old when we adopted him in January. In February, we adopted Shadow, a 40 lb, 1 year old, Border Collie/Lab/Shepherd mix. They've healed our hearts in so many ways.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading the Rex & the City series in Bark, and and am glad you're now sharing your adventures with Chloe. i have a rescue spaniel mix too - Rosie - who is sleeping at my side as I write this. No questions for you, just a note of appreciation.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to write and sharing your stories. I had so much fun. Next time I'll do an evening chat, so that the 9 - 5ers will have a chance to join us. Until then,

At first my dog and I did not see eye to eye. I questioned whether I was right about getting a dog. But then she suffered an injury and I had to nurse her back to health. It was during this time that we bonded. I think I finally let my guard down and relaxed around her and she felt the change in my persona. She is fully recovered from her injury which, thankfully, did not require surgery much to the surprise of my vet. I spend quality time with her and she does not leave my side. I cannot imagine not having her around. I was not a Bark reader when Lee originally wrote about Rex so now I am intrigued and will need to pick up a copy.

Hello, it's Corey Yoder from Little Miss Shabby back again with another fun little quilt. I think Aneela totally nailed her debut fabric line for Moda, Sherbet Pips, & I came up with this quilt to showcase some of her oh so cute prints. Snowball blocks meet Peppermint Pinwheel blocks....Peppermint Snowballs Quilt. =)
**All seams are to be sew with a 1/4" seam allowance
|1 Sherbet Pips Layer Cake
|1 1/4 Bella Solids White (9900-98)
|1/3 Yard Binding Fabric Sherbet Pips Gray Dot (18505-19)
|3 Yards Backing Fabric Sherbet Pips Girl on Swing (18500-11)
Begin by choosing 12 of your favorite prints from the layer cake. These will be used for the snowball blocks. I chose the dog, scooter, & tree prints. From the remaining layer cake squares, choose 5 squares to be used for the pinwheels--I went with the solid/dot fabrics you see below.
Trim each of the Snowball squares to 9.5" square. From the layers you have chosen for the Pinwheel blocks, cut a total of 7 strips 2.5" x 10" (1 strip from each square plus an extra strip from two of the prints). Subcut the strips int 2.5" squares.
From the remaining 25 layer cake squares cut:
(48) strips 2" x 10" (these will be used for the pieced square border around the pinwheel blocks)--cut 2 strips from each layer cake square
(14) strips 2.5" x 10"--subcut into 2.5" squares (these will be used for the hst blocks on the corners of the Pinwheel blocks)--choose these strips at random from remaining layer cake squares, don't cut more than one strip per fabric
(10) strips 2"x 10"--subcut into 2" squares (these will be used for the outermost triangle on the Snowball blocks)--choose these strips at random from remaining layer cake squares, don't cut more than one strip per fabric
From the White Solid Fabric cut:
(4) strips 3.5" x WOF--subcut into (48) 3.5" squares
(3) strips 2" x WOF--subcut into (26) 2" x 3.5" rectangles
(6) strips 2" x WOF--subcut into (26) 2" x 6.5" rectangles
(2) strips 2.5" x WOF--subcut into (26) 2.5" squares
On the back of each white 3.5" square, each white 2.5" square, each Sherbet Pips 2" square, and 1/2 of the Sherbet Pips 2.5" squares draw a diagonal line from corner to corner.
*Please note that I do not have the white 2.5" squares pictured above--make sure to include them just as the instructions read.*
Assembling the Snowball Blocks
Begin by sewing one 3.5" white square to each corner of a 9.5" layer cake square. Sew directly on the diagonal line--pay attention to the orientation of the diagonal.
Trim each corner 1/4" from sewn line on each corner.
Press open.
Now you will repeat the same process using the Sherbet Pips 2" squares. Place a 2" square right sides together on each corner of the snowball block. You will sew a diagonal line directly on your drawn line--pay attention to the orientation of the diagonal.
Trim corners 1/4" from sewn line & press open.
Continue until you have completed all 12 Snowball Blocks.
Sew 1/4" away from the diagonal on each side of the drawn line.
Cut on drawn line.
Press to the Sherbet Pips fabric. Repeat these steps to make a total of 52 triangle units. Trim all hst units to 2" square.
Now we will repeat these steps to make the triangle units for the outermost corners of the pinwheel block. Begin by placing (2) 2.5" Sherbet Pips Squares right sides together.
Sew 1/4" away from the drawn diagonal line just like you did for the Pinwheel blocks a moment ago. Cut apart on the diagonal line and press open to the darker fabric. Trim all hst units to 2" square.
You will end up with a bunch of fun little half square triangle units. 52 of the Sherbet Pips/Sherbet Pips units & 52 of the White/Sherbet Pips units.
Sew together to complete the pinwheel unit.
Next, sew a 2" x 3.5" white rectangle to the top and bottom of the pinwheel block. Then, sew a 2" x 6.5" rectangle to the right and left of the pinwheel. Press seams out.
Sew all of the pinwheel blocks in this manner.
Now we will begin sewing together the 2" x 10" strips in sets of four. Press open to one side.
Continue until you have sewn together all of the strips.
Subcut into 2" strips.
Now we will sew one of the half square triangle units onto each end of 26 of the strip sets. Please note: It is very important that the diagonals are oriented exactly as shown for each strip. Press seams toward the center.
Continue until you have sewn triangle units onto each end of 26 of the strips.
Now we can assemble these blocks.
Begin by sewing one of the 4 square strips to the top and bottom of the pinwheel unit. Press away from the center.
Sew the remaining strips to the right and left of the block making sure to orient the diagonals as pictured.
And Voila--completed pinwheel blocks.
You are ready to assemble the quilt as shown.
A fabulous 45"x45" quilt showcasing Aneela's wonderful fabrics! Enjoy!

Comments about 7 For All Mankind Slim Cigarette in Rinse:
I was looking for this specific style of jean for a while. Something I can use for "casual Fridays" at work and also for a date. Found one in another brand and the fit was not what I expected so decided to pay a little more and go for seven (I own a couple and all of them fit wonderfully). Love them! They stretch a bit so I usually get a size down.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Most comfortable jean
By Classic vintage

About Me Classic
I have been a faithful seven customer for years and these are by far the most comfortable pair yet! Size down one if you do not like them baggy in the rear and legs after breaking them in i normally wear a comfortable 29 and purchased a 28.I am able to wear these with flats heels and inside my boots very versatile without the tightness of skinny jeans classic Audrey Hepburn look.
First pair of sevens and I love them!

Perfect slim, tailored jeans!
By 7's devotee
from USA
About Me Bargain Shopper, Career, Eclectic
I am willing to pay the price for 7's because they consistently fit perfectly with unparalleled quality! I have a cheaper, similar pair in this style and have had to replace them within 6 months because they did not hold they're shape. I disagree that you need to size down 2 sizes (unless you like you're jeans super-tight). I went down 1 size and that was perfect. I am 5'4", 104 llbs and normally wear a 25 in 7's. I got a 24 and they are snug but still comfortable. The shorter length is perfect for someone my height.
My new favorite jeans!
By Sarah
from Saint Petersburg, fl
These are very comfortable jeans and have become my new everyday pair!!! They're perfect for dressing up or down.
Deceptively stretchy!
By Michelle F
from Austin, TX
I actually bought these jeans from another retailer. I'm a faithful Seven customer, and because I wanted a really sleek jean, I sized down. But that wasn't enough! After just a few hours of wear, these jeans have stretched out not only in the knees (normal), but also on the backs on my thighs and waist. I'd suggest ordering at least two sizes down if you want your jeans to look like the ones in the picture, otherwise you'll be very disappointed!
Love these jeans!
By rockelita
from New York. NY
About Me Casual, Classic
I bought this color (rinse) and the other lighter color in the slim cigarette. First of all, I love that this is an ankle jean that doesn't require hemming. The length is perfect. I normally wear a size 28 in 7 jeans and I do not have small thighs. These pants fit me in the legs better than any of the other slim pants I tried on and didn't make it look like I was wearing skin tight jeans. I sized down to a 27 and even after wearing all day, they do not get saggy. I haven't washed them yet, but I hope the color doesn't bleed/fade too much. It's such a dark color that I'm not too worried. These are going to be my go to pants from now on. I wish they made them in more than 3 washes!

Now that the Packers are wrapping up their off-season program and about to take a six week hiatus befeore the start of training camp, let's break down the 90 man roster and try to zero in on how the depth chart might look once the 2013 journey begins. We'll do this position by position, analyzing a couple of position groups a day. Leading off will be the quarterbacks and running backs.
There are four on the roster and we have a pretty good idea who will hang on to the starting job. Aaron Rodgers is now 29, three years removed from the Super Bowl, two years removed from his MVP season but still very much in his prime. He'll be fine but the organization has to realize the championship contending window of opportunity doesn't stay open forever, even with a franchise signal caller. Graham Harrell will be the number 2. He's gotten a bit stronger and is now well versed in Mike McCarthy's system. He'll get four opportunities on hot August nights to prove he can take the reigns if something happens to the franchise, or give the Packers pause about maybe developing another as the top backup. B.J. Coleman is really a try-hard guy. During the OTA's the team even gave him reps with the second string offense. It's still a work in progress and he's a candidate for the practice squad for a second consecutive season. Matt Brown is the rookie free agent from Illinois State and he looks very much like a rookie free agent. A nice kid but he'll serve as the extra arm in training camps drills and that's about it.
Running Backs
Get ready for a fierce competition for regular season carries and individualized personel packages based on a variety of skill sets, sizes and abilities. Granted it's still June, but for right now, I'll put James Starks at the top of the list. It's almost by default after the Pack jettisoned both Ryan Grant and Cedric Benson in the off-season. Starks absolutely has to stay out of the tub or he could go from my off-season lead back to the waiver wire. Alex Green is next. He shared snaps with Starks on the number one offense through the OTA's but is another player with a lengthening injury history. There are plenty of young stallions in wait. DuJuan Harris finished last year as the top back but he's recovering from surgery. After having a hard time breathing during workouts, Harris got checked out and doctors found a cyst, the size of a fist, alongside his right lung. The operation yanked it out and he should be fine. If he returns to the form that flashed promise last December, don't be surprised if he's the only returning veteran to stick. Second round pick Eddie Lacy tops the list of newcomers and after he puts on the pads in July, could very quickly zoom to the top of the depth chart. Lacy looks bigger than I remember at Alabama, a wide bottomed, thick legged tackle breaker that has me anxious to see him tote the ball. Johnathan Franklin will definately get his touches. My guess is he'll be the change of pace back, as in a faster pace to the edge, and a factor in the screen and short passing game. His cutting abilitiy is legit. Angelo Pease is an undrated free agent from Kansas State that had some eye opening plays this spring, even getting McCarthy's attention, but he'll be a real longshot in August.
There are only two fullbacks on the roster now and there's only going to be one this fall. John Kuhn is about as dependable as it gets, now in his 8th year. Assignment sure in protection and sneaky good in short yardage. He's a valuable player in this offense. Jonathan Amosa, the rookie free agent from Washington is a very thick, 247 pounds who will get enough pre-season snaps that could earn him a job, somewhere other than Green Bay.

My latest show opened at Copro Gallery on Saturday, November 9. It was a mini show of several small and medium oil paintings as well as showing my new short film "Day of the Spectre".
The new paintings can be seen here.
Finding Beauty in Dark Places
The Germans have a word "unheimlich" that is difficult to translate into English, although a blur between the words "uncanny" and "eerie" perhaps comes the closest to providing a definition.
In each of my paintings, I am trying to find the beauty in that uneasy twilight place between life and death, between reality and unreality, between self and what writer H.P. Lovecraft called "the others".
The objects in my paintings draw from the classic symbolism of Vanitas still life and Catholic religious paintings; all refer to the cycle of life, death, and the promise of resurrection.
I love this poem by Emily Dickinson:
I died for beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
"For beauty," I replied.
"And I for truth, -the two are one;
We brethren are," he said.
And so, as kinsmen met a night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.
My entire body of work is an attempt to capture the feeling I get every time I read it. One day I might succeed, until then here are my paintings...

Summer Cocktails Infused with Bison Grass Vodka
Brewed in various forms in Poland since the 16th century, Zubrowka has a distinctively butterscotch-like taste due to its flavoring by a tincture of an aromatic herb called Hierochloe odorata, somewhat more commonly known as bison grass—a favorite repast of the wisent herds that populate the primeval forest of Białowieża, Poland. Recent years have seen the vodka brand go global, winning a series of medals at Brussels's Monde Selection food and drink awards in 2006 and 2007. At this year's Port Eliot Festival in Cornwall, England—a suitably literary venue for the liquor that features in Somerset Maugham's 1944 novel The Razor's Edge—Zubrowka's "Frisky Bison" bar was constantly mobbed, with festival-goers clamoring for cocktails created especially for the event. For those keen on recreating the experience, Zubrowka shares some recipes.
Perry's Passionate Punch
1 1/3 oz Zubrowka vodka
2/3 oz cloudy apple juice
1/3 oz passion fruit syrup
1/6 oz peach liquor
Shake and strain first four ingredients and top up with champagne. Serve in a martini or coupe glass.
Eliot's Ginger Zinger
1 - 2 oz Zubrowka vodka
6 1/2 oz ginger ale
3 dashes Angostura bitters
Build in the glass over cubed ice, and garnish with a lemon twist or wedge. Serve in a Collins or highball glass.

A Different Revolution
Aries Moon late Wednesday and Thursday. We think new thoughts and initiate new ideas. Sun in Virgo with Saturn in Scorpio help disciples to create orderly structures to anchor and bring forth new ideas. Stabilizing Taurus moon Friday and Saturday. We anchor new ideas into form and matter, like seeds planted in the soil. We tend them, waiting for green shoots to emerge. Like the gestating Virgo Sun Madonna, awaiting the birth of the holy child, the Soul, the new light at winter solstice. Mercury and Chiron converse about what hurts and what heals.Saturday is a complex day with Mercury (communication), Mars (action!) and Uranus (revolution). Mercury in Libra is opposite Uranus in Aries. Oppositions (recognizing something new appearing over there somewhere) eventually synthesize. Mercury in Libra calls for Right Action and Right Relations, especially with money. Uranus in Aries—the revolution this time must be different. Also on Saturday, Mars enters Sagittarius. Where are we going, what are our goals, where's justice, where's the mountain, do we have good shoes? Sunday Venus trines Pluto—in-depth assessment of money, values and resources. Gemini moon Monday; we talk a lot, tending to tasks in gardens and neighborhoods. Cancer Moon Tuesday and Wednesday; we nurture and nourish. The stars and planets remind us.Note: William Meader, esoteric author & international teacher, will be speaking on "The Soul of Humanity Evolving Through Crisis" at Meditation Mount, 7pm, Friday, Sept. 12.

But what about: Dog Park, Church, Hotel, Local Farm, Therapist (I second that!) or Sports Bar—not to be confused with Bra. Our favorite suggestion: Best Act of Kindness—one reader noted Café Gratitude and the free meals it offered to the Santa Cruz Police Department in the aftermath of recent crimes. Perhaps some of these can be woven into next year's ballot, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the following pages and take note of our Critics' Picks, too, beginning on page 91.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I chose to use the white background with gold and black print, and it looked great. It's not too busy, like some other invitations can be, and this is a simple way of stating a lot. I used the free (but high quality) card stock - which looked fantastic. But, I did not use the Pearl White Shimmer to get the luminescent look, though I would recommend it if you can splurge on that if you want the metallic look. (the cardstock does not give the metallic look). I love my invitations and the service on the proofs was very fast and helpful. Highly recommend!"
"We were able to personalize our invitation through the help of one of the designers and he made suggestions about script and color, parallelism, and overall layout that really enhanced our invitation! He also made the changes that we requested in a timely manner and our invitations were shipped and printed in less time than we expected! I was so excited when they came in the mail! The paper quality was textured and even nicer than I expected and the picture on the back printed very nicely on it as well! Thank you!!"
"I was extremely impressed with the abundance of selections to choose from; the ease and promptness of the changes I requested; and the invitations were absolutely beautiful and well made. They also arrived before the expected delivery date."
"We ordered this invitation and RSVP card in Almond with a solid almond back on the matte white stock, and could not be more pleased with the decision! The design is so lovely, just perfect for my daughter's outdoor garden-style wedding. It has just the right soft, vintage feel we were looking for. The paper quality is excellent, they look and feel great. The design review process is extremely helpful - our reviewer made a couple of changes that improved what we had submitted - and the turnaround was incredibly fast. The final product was exactly what we expected and were hoping for ... no complaints or disappointment whatsoever. We highly recommend this product!"
"This was the only invitation we could both agree on! He loved the modern layout, I loved the simple elegance. Both our names are long and didn't fit originally, but Dwayne did amazing job adjusting the design until we got it just right! He seriously treated it like he was designing his own invites and made the whole thing work seamlessly."

By Andrea IsomFox 2 NewsWASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJBK) -- Lately we have all been asking why some people do the things they do and how would any person want to harm or kill another. Sadly, yet another family is asking why.Monday evening at Woodside Bible Church in Romeo was a time for loved ones to remember 37-year-old Sandra Loepp of Washington Township."She would make us rise to the occasion at times, and to have her be killed this way, it's a tragedy," said her father Rodger Crowe."What a wonderful mother she was. She had five children," said her mother Sandra Crowe.Early Sunday morning around 1:00 a.m., Loepp walked out of Santino's bar on Van Dyke near 27 Mile. She decided to call it a night after a nice evening out with some close friends, but they thought Loepp had a ride."I was with her all day and I was one of the last people she talked to until she left. We would've never let her walk, never," said friend Amanda Paduch.But walk Loepp did walk down a dark road never anticipating that she would never make it home again.Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham says a motorist traveling that same road struck Loepp, dragging her more than 600 feet."You've got to find who did this to her. It's not right. She didn't deserve this," said her mother.We are told that person got out of the car and pulled Loepp out from under the vehicle and then just drove away. Later that mooring, her lifeless body was found in the parking lot in front of the office of a mobile home park."I don't think the person that hit her had any evil intentions in them. I think it was an accident and I think they got scared and ran away, but there's a time to step up. We're not looking to hurt anybody, sue anybody or be vengeful, but you can free yourself by admitting what you did, and I know they're suffering in their own way," said her father.At a prayer service for Loepp, her husband was torn to pieces. Many of her family and friends were practically speechless with grief."She was my precious little girl. I used to call her my little princess. She looked like a princess," said her mother. "She's looking down on us now smiling because everyone's here for her.""I think it'd be a lot better for them if they'd come up and present themselves before somebody comes to them because the police will eventually find them," her father said.Evidence was collected at the crime scene and is being analyzed.

A sick daughter called me away mid-show today. And though Bunny and a Curious George show have aided in providing some psychological relief, her greatest source of comfort has proven to be her GB Phoenix #1 jersey. Currently napping, it was not allowed to be removed from her person.
Not even illness can derail Phoenix Fanaticism!
The city of Green Bay is blessed to have a Division I hoops team in it's backyard, but the truth is that it's been a while since the team the community supports has put forth a product with this degree of damage potential. This year's squad is a legitimate at-large selection should they not win the Horizon League Tournament, and should they make the field of 68, no matter how, the Phoenix are capable of wearing the glass slipper. Yeah, they're that talented...and that deep. I'm not talking about a National Championship here, but GB is a match-up nightmare for any opponent, and they are more than capable of winning some games in the dance.
It's been a blast to be a part of this great run for this team. A regular season title we hope will translate to a Conference Tournament title by next Tuesday night, leaving the selection committee only with dialogue over which seed they ought to receive, not if they belong. Selfishly I want so badly for them to make it. But more than that, I want for kids like my daughter to be able to have the joy of winning. Winning doesn't come often, but for a select few. And even for those who find fortune more often than not, it doesn't come easily.
Our kids tend to align their rooting interests with those of their folks. It's just natural. At this stage of my life and my fanaticism, my perspective has shifted. My biggest hope for the teams that I love...those my daughter is certain to love..is that they provide a decent foundation upon which my children can build their love - for too many of us know the pain of resentment that our fathers roped us into being fans of the "fill-in-the-blanks." :)
Go get 'em GB! Unfortunately it looks as though my daughter will be with you only in spirit tomorrow night...unless a miracle takes place.

OJ Simpson says that he wants to host a religious TV show when he gets out of jail.
Simpson wants to call his show "Holy Safari."
He says he got the idea after converting several inmates to Christianity. Simpson has gotten a chance to really read up on the bible in his five years behind bars. He even converted his white supremacist cell mate to Christianity.
The 66-year-old former Hall Of Famer is currently serving time for armed robbery and kidnapping.
Simpson says he wants to travel the world to explore different ideologies and interview religious leaders like the pope. According to Simpson's promoter, the idea for the show was already in development a few weeks before Simpson went to jail. He also thinks that Simpson is the best person for the job.

Tribes-like GarageGames Web Title Revealed by Alpha Video LeakUnprotected links on the InstantAction.com website, a browser-based gaming platform in development by GarageGames, have today lead to the discovery of several alpha-level videos showing off the company's upcoming team-based online shooter.
A source close to GarageGames stressed that the videos--depicting Tribes-like combat on an alien world--represent early work, and were meant for internal use only. The clips are viewable below, edited into a single silent movie. We have also isolated a batch of screenshots from the footage.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
GarageGames was founded in 2000 by four former employees of Dynamix, the developer responsible for the popular multiplayer shooter Starsiege: Tribes.
The identity of the new InstantAction project was uncovered in October, along with the news that GarageGames had ramped up its employee count in advance of development.
Announced earlier this year, InstantAction is set to launch sometime in early 2008. The service aims to offer a multitude of community features along the lines of Xbox Live or Steam, while generally skewing to a more casual line of games.
Unlike Flash, the InstantAction platform allows for full 3D rendering. Games run directly inside a web browser window, with a friends list and chat window off to the side.
For more on InstantAction, check out Chris Faylor's preview.

Publication: theday.com
I am a fan of the Cortland apple.
You can have your Macoun and your Honeycrisp, your Gala and your Winesap. I'll take a Cortland over them all. It's the perfect combination of sweet and tart and, when fresh, so juicy and crispy.
When I was a kid, we'd would go apple-picking every fall and always come home with a bushel of Cortlands. My mom would make apple dumplings, or apple slump, as she used to call it. She would stew the apples with a bit of sugar and when they were tender and bubbling, she'd drop dumpling dough on top, put the lid on the pan and let them steam to billowy perfection.
Sometimes she'd make them for a Sunday supper. She'd serve up a bowl of the hot apples, set a dumpling on top, then split it open and slip a pat of butter inside. So good.
When she'd run through her collection of apple recipes, she'd peel and slice what was left of the bushel and pop them into the freezer, only to pull them out later, to help us through the winter.
But of all my mom's apple recipes, the one I make the most these days is her Apple Crisp. This recipe is quick and easy, and the result is buttery and crunchy with none of the doughiness of so many other crisp recipes.
Cortlands are excellent for baking because they hold their shape rather than turn to mush. Truthfully, in this recipe you can use whatever apple is your favorite, but whatever you do, don't omit the lemon juice. You don't end up tasting the lemon at all, but it adds a wonderful tartness that helps balance the sweetness of the apples and brown sugar, and it's just not the same without it.
Over the years, I've made it a habit to add nuts or seeds — pecans and/or sunflower, if I have them — to the crumble topping. This amps up the crunch factor and the rich nuttiness goes so well with the oats and the apples. You can serve it hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top, or you can eat it at room temperature all by itself. I love it for breakfast.
So while the fruit is fresh, make some of my mom's crisp. It'll become one of your favorites, too. Enjoy!
Apple Crisp
4 cups peeled and sliced apples (Cortlands, please)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt (I use less - not more than half a teaspoon)
¾ cup nuts or seeds (I prefer pecans but walnuts and sunflower seeds are also good)
1/3 cup melted butter (I use unsalted butter)
Place apples into a greased (generously buttered), shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice. In a bowl, combine dry ingredients and nuts. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Sprinkle crumb mixture over apples. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until apples are tender.

Book Drive
For the whole month of March, MOPA's Dubois Library will be hosting a book drive, collecting new and used children's books, in English and Spanish. The books will be given to Words Alive, a local non-profit that distributes books to underserved, low-income, and at-risk children, teens, and adults. Please consider donating any gently used (or new!) books for ages 0-18; donations can be dropped off inside MOPA, Tuesday- Sunday, 10:00 am-5:00 pm.
The Bread Book
Out of the 20,000 books held in the Dubois Library, there are more than a few treasures; books that illustrate and document early photographic processes and subjects, or were created by seminal photographers who have left their indelible mark on our visual history. These books are incredible to see and touch and hold. They provide true connection to a medium and a past that is quickly changing and evolving.
The Dubois Library: Books & Technology
I have vivid memories of my elementary school's card catalog, the beautifully polished wood, the shiny brass handles on the drawers, and the mass of white and yellow cards, all heavily marked with pencil and typewriter ink. It all seems so quaint and antique now, and I nostalgically remember the process of finding a library book as such a lovely ritual.
