State Dept. accused of covering up indiscretions around the globe
http://www.humanevents.com/wp-conten...on-620x348.jpg Hillary R.Clinton
By: John Hayward
The spirit of Benghazi went far beyond the lies and obfuscations pumped out by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her top people, according CBS News, which has uncovered documents that show the State Department may have covered up allegations of illegal and inappropriate behavior within their ranks.
Golly, a few more reports of endemic wrongdoing smothered beneath equally endemic cover-ups, and I might just find myself doubting President Obamas claims that hes running the Most Transparent Administration In History! Seriously, has there ever been a less transparent Administration? Team Obama is a riddle wrapped in mystery inside an enigma, surrounded by stone walls and a moat full of talking-point alligators.
CBS News John Miller reports that according to an internal State Department Inspector Generals memo, several recent investigations were influenced, manipulated, or simply called off. The memo obtained by CBS News cited eight specific examples. Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut engaged in sexual assaults on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons security detail engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries a problem the report says was endemic.
These squelched investigations were looking into some pretty lively activity:
The ambassador in question had to make a little trip back to Washington for a tongue-lashing, but it was all kept quiet, and he was allowed to return to his post. As State IG investigator Fedenisn observed to CBS News, thats not just scandalous behavior its a serious security risk.
The memo also reveals details about an underground drug ring was operating near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and supplied State Department security contractors with drugs.
Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator with the State Departments internal watchdog agency, the Inspector General, told Miller, We also uncovered several allegations of criminal wrongdoing in cases, some of which never became cases.
In such cases, [Diplomatic Security Service] agents told the Inspector Generals investigators that senior State Department officials told them to back off, a charge that Fedenisn says is very upsetting.
We were very upset. We expect to see influence, but the degree to which that influence existed and how high up it went, was very disturbing, she said.
In one specific and striking cover-up, State Department agents told the Inspector General they were told to stop investigating the case of a U.S. Ambassador who held a sensitive diplomatic post and was suspected of patronizing prostitutes in a public park.
The State Department Inspector Generals memo refers to the 2011 investigation into an ambassador who routinely ditched his protective security detai and inspectors suspect this was in order to solicit sexual favors from prostitutes.
The State Department might have been lax about investigating and exposing these nefarious activities, but it springs into action with the speed and ferocity of a panther when its time to pounce on a whistleblower. Two hours after CBS News made inquiries to the State Department about these charges, investigators from the State Departments Inspector General showed up at [Fedenisn's] door, the network reports.
Its funny how many scandal floodgates are bursting open at once. Is this State Department fiasco another one of those reports that was mysteriously delayed until after the 2012 election, like the Treasury Inspector General report on IRS abuses, and the Defense Departments report on security leaks to Hollywood filmmakers? (For that matter, why did NSA leaker Edward Snowden choose not to speak up during the election, when his revelations would have gotten even more attention, and might have led to real change or at least some very illuminating panic from the Obama Administration?)
Are many of these stories an eruption of pent-up frustration from civil servants who agreed to play it cool through the election, or is this rolling avalanche of damaging revelations growing as whistleblowers watch the evening news and feel emboldened to speak out at last?

Anyone have the actual wording for these two new rules? When do they go into effect (or is it affect...)?There were two items that have previously been up for discussion and now have passed into law.
The first is the definition of Amateur Status.
The second is the prohibition of Layout Blinds.
A brief summary was given for each of the above mentioned rule changes.
And since it's no outlawed....anyone want to buy a couple layout blinds? <sigh>
Thoughts on these two new proposals?The committee is in the infancy stage of discussion on the following two rule changes:
1. If a club holds 2 trials per year, then every other year, their 2nd trial of the year can have an Amateur
Stake with minor stakes, but no Open.
2. Limit Amateur Handlers to 3 dogs , per stake, at a clubs' discretion.
The above two topics are young and just beginning to have formal discussions.
I'm NOT a fan of #2 - think about it this way, I have two dogs, my husband has two dogs...one of us judge for the club, but the other will have to choose which dog not to run? That's a good way to keep us from judging in the future...just another question to add to my list when asked to judge...(if it becomes a rule and of course if we ever end up with more than a couple dogs a piece)...and we limit the Amateur who normally puts on the event and judges? I'm not in favor of limiting the Amateur....

Why do people set up virus filters to report back to virus senders when most of the time the virus has forged the sender address?
It usually just means they end up mailbombing innocent bystanders and mailing lists with false 'virus notification' e-mails. For some lesser-technical people, this can cause them to panicky and paranoid that their (otherwise perfectly healthy) PC is infected and waste time and money getting re-assurance from techies that nothing is wrong.
So, help spread the word. If you, or someone you know is running anti-virus filtering software on your mailserver make sure the virus notifications are disabled. If you receive a virus notification to one of your e-mail addresses or via a list you are subscribed to, write back to the virus filter's e-mail alias (CC the 'postmaster@' too!) and tell them to cut it out and maybe point them at this diary entry or somewhere else that explains the pain.
The world could really use a VirusCop service (similar to SpamCop). Forward your virii to it, it will scan the headers, identify the source by IP (not by sender address, doh!) and contact the ISP. Only the ISP are going to know enough about the originating IP address to be able to do anything useful with regard to letting the user know they have been infected and/or getting them disconnected until it's resolved. A VirusCop RBL would also be useful.

After receiving assurance from a Benderson Development representative that the firm would not seek more than the $19.5 million in tourist development tax revenue Sarasota County already has committed to the project, the County Commission Tuesday unanimously approved design changes proposed for the Nathan Benderson Nature Aquatic Center near University Parkway.
"We're not here to ask for any more money," Paul Blackketter, Benderson's project manager, responded to a question from County Commissioner Christine Robinson. Benderson Development will pursue the rest of the approximately $40 million cost of the facilities through state and federal grant options as well as private funding, he added.
Commission Chairwoman Nora Patterson told her fellow commissioners she had asked Blackketter the same question in her office before the Tuesday afternoon session, "but not as nicely (as Robinson)."
He was confident about completing the park's amenities, Blackketter said, and holding the first national regatta there next year, with the first world rowing championships potentially held there in 2017.
County project manager Spencer Anderson explained Tuesday that international rowing officials had suggested specific design changes to the concept the commission had approved in January. Among those is an "island return canal," which would provide rowing teams an uninterrupted route to return to their staging area after an event.
Blackketter said the designers had struggled with creating a plan that would enable the rowers to get back to the staging area quickly enough so the next event could start in five minutes. An architect with FISA, the international rowing federation, had suggested the change after a two-day visit to the park, he said.
With that canal, he said, the facility "will stand side-by-side with the best rowing courses in the world."
"When we're done with this, this is obviously going to be state-of-the-art," County Commissioner Joe Barbetta said.

(COLUMBUS, OH – February 8, 2013) Environmental Defense Fund commends Ohio Governor John Kasich's administration for the swift and decisive action taken yesterday against D&L Energy and Hardrock Excavating. After reports that these operators were dumping oilfield waste into a storm sewer that empties into the Mahoning River watershed, regulators quickly took steps to confirm the reports, start clean-up operations and initiate permanent revocation of operating permits. Credit goes to Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director Jim Zehringer, Oil and Gas Division Chief Rick Simmers and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Director Scott Nally. If proceedings prove these companies violated the law, permanent revocation of operating permits will be entirely appropriate. Gross violations of public trust should be met with zero tolerance.

OK...... spent today (Fri) at Wizard World in Rosemont and thought Id report in....
I go every year and it seems as if there are slightly fewer dealers selling Star Wars stuff (though there are still MANY selling SW) and the prices are slightly higher than in years past.
The average price for EP2 figures seems to be about $8.00 each.... give or take $1-$3 depending on the figure. There are a few obnoxiously greedy dealers too so be prepared for some sticker shock
I did find one dealer selling many POTJ figures for--I think--4 for $10.... but they were all last years issues...
the one thing that the convention does have is SELECTION. If you are willing to spend the money you can pretty much find whatever you are looking for, vintage or new
Some personal highlights:
I got to compare Bespin Luke peg hand vs. bloody..... bloody wins (pardon the pun) hands down
somebody was selling the Nexu for $10. I think that's a good price (?). didnt buy it though
George Sacul is all over the place... usually for about $80.... but one guy had him for $55
the Hasbro booth was a little dissapointing only in that there wasnt that much new. Last year Hasbro used Wizard World to premiere pretty much the whole last 10-15 figures of the POTJ line and the TIE Bomber and snowspeeder.
THis year they had Teemto Pagalis (sp?)--and I DID like the salvage droid he comes with
They also had the Republic Gunship which may be my new favorite large ship. A little smaller than say the Falcon or Shuttle, but holds multiple figures and looks to be a little easier to "fly" around if you are so inclined
the Gunship piolt figure will come with a turret canon which attaches to the ship (kinda cool) and there will also be a clone trooper with speeder bike in Sept and the bike fits inside the gunship..... but the only look at the bike I got was a small peak on the back of the gunship box
they did not yet have the arena battle playset because it didnt ship yet. They hope to have it tomorrow. They must have used Fed Ex--DOH!
the new anakin tatooine attack (or whatever it is called) coming out soon looks good--maybe my favorite Anakin sculpt yet (but I havent really liked any of the Annies) and the new X-Wing and landspeeder both looked really good but I think Ill be passing on both. Im satisfied with the versions Ive already got. How many times can they keep re-doing these ships anyway?
The acklay looked surprisingly cool too
The Hasbro presentation was both better and worse than last year.
It was a little less organzied and bounced between Transformers & GI Joe (neither of whci hI have any interest in) and Star Wars. They were much nicer this year (last year they had some really whiny ***** moderating the whole thing who seemed to condescend to the fans) but in general, despite "opening the floor to questions" they only talk about whatever the hell they want to and are completley non-commital and evasive about anything beyond what has been officially announced. Bottom line, we still dont know what waits ahead beyond fall 2002
BTW.... the infamously overpriced Brian's Toys was there with a pretty huge booth and, frankly, an amazing collection for pretty rare stuff. But, he is WAY expensive and doesnt bargain more than a couple of bucks
Bottom line: if you want deals, probablyl look elsewhere or wait till Sunday afternoon when dealers are trying to unload merch that went unsold....even then I suspect they might not be that great
Also, some dealers who look like they sell zero toys sometimes have a small bin of SW for OK price.... but ususally it is older POTJ stuff that we all proabbly have already
If you want selection though, you WILL find what you are looking for
oh yeah.... the rest of the convention was pretty cool too. Tomorrow is Stan Lee Q&A. Should be good
hope you have fun if you go
peace out
-Rash Flembar-

I think the only song I know from the second volume was "Midnight Special", which I believe was in the Twilight Zone movie.
I think the only song I know from the second volume was "Midnight Special", which I believe was in the Twilight Zone movie.
Meh. Leadbelly did "Midnight Special" better'n anyone else.
He also whooped Zeppelin's butt with his original of "Gallow's Pole." Because he's just bad-arse. He's killed men for trying to best him at his own songs. Ask Kurt Cobain. One day, he topped Leadbelly on "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" The next day? Boom!
That's my jacket!
Song: Up Around the Bend (great guitar lick) or Down On The Corner.
Album: Don't have a fave, except their Greatest Hits.
This band cranked out a lot of classics in a short period of time.
Did anyone see the VH1 Behind the Music special? This band after they split became highly dysfunctional and some of the pettiness that lingered was sad to see.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
Fogerty didn't sound so great during half-time yesterday.
Yes, the silly part was John Fogerty being sued for plagiarizing himself.
Fogerty was downright bad. It was an embarassment.
And why did the United Way posters unravel at the start of "Proud Mary" and "Fortunate Son"? That just seemed like weird timing to me.
That's my jacket!
I saw Credence Clearwater Revisted at the Northwest Washington Fair in August 2011. Around that time I discovered the song "Bootleg", which I don't know if I had heard before. It quickly became one of my favorite CCR songs.
There's Chronicle 2, also. IIRC, the first is missing "Run Through the Jungle."
And I'd argue you definitely need more CCR than just the Chronicle albums.
That's my jacket!

With the weather cooling down and the Oktoberfest 200th anniversary celebration in full swing in Munich, October just feels like beer drinking season. So it's only fitting that the first annual Providence Craft Beer Week will take place October 1-8.
The festivities are patterned on the massive Philly Beer Week that originated in 2008 and now draws visitors from across the country to the Greater Philadelphia area over the course of 10 days in June. More than two dozen cities have hopped on board with their own local beer celebration. And now Providence is going to join in on the party.
Each night bars and restaurants across the city will host different craft breweries, Oktoberfest celebrations, beer dinners, and neighborhood pub crawls. To cap it all off, on Friday, October 8, the Beervana Fest will take place in Cranston, showcasing more than 200 of the world's best craft beers. With events being added by the day, it seems there will be something for everyone during the course of the week.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Julian's is up front beating the drum for Providence Craft Beer Week. Together with the Avery and E&O Tap, the neighborhood bars are teaming up to create the "Beermuda Triangle." Fourteen different brewers will host special events each weeknight. And since none of the bars is more than a three-block walk from each other, this is one Triangle you should be able to navigate your way around.
While each bar will have their own approach to these special brewery nights, Julian's events are a good example. Four tap lines will be dedicated to the guest brewery, while a representative will be on hand from 9 to 11 pm to give away some freebies. For any craft beer enthusiast, the chance to talk beer with knowledgeable people from inside the industry is a pretty exciting opportunity.
It's an all-star lineup too. Monday is arguably the best craft brewer for the canning category, Oskar Blues of Colorado. On Tuesday, the always creative Dogfish Head Brewery is bringing beers using such eclectic ingredients as rice, pumpkin, and blackberries. On Wednesday Julian's will welcome western New York's Southern Tier and my absolute favorite pumpkin beer: Pumking. And on Thursday, New Hampshire's Smuttynose Brewing is coming to town with its executive brewer, David Yarrington, two vintage beers, and two special series beers.
Dan Henry, a field manager for Smuttynose, summed up the excitement around these events: "The people at Julian's treat beer in a way a lot of people don't." So when Smuttynose offered to bring a couple of rare vintage beers to the event, Julian's jumped at the opportunity. "Our vintage beers have done a spectacular job aging," Henry said. "Many taste like a totally different beer. They have mellowed with a different body to it, going the way of a fine sherry." I'm sure he is right, but want to find out for myself.
As if this isn't reason enough to venture to the West Side, the other points of the Beermuda triangle have some pretty amazing brewers lined up. The Avery is will have Providence's own Trinity Brewhouse on Sunday, Heavy Seas on Monday, Harpoon Tuesday, Smuttynose Wednesday, and Wachusett on Thursday. Over the same five nights, E&O Tap will welcome Redhook, Blue Point, Cisco, Abita (of Louisiana), and Ithaca. It's especially encouraging to see local businesses engage in collaborative efforts such as these for the sake of the Craft Beer Week.

Robert "Bob" James Postel
Madison - Robert James "Bob" Postel, passed on at Madison's William S. Middleton Veterans Hospital Friday, January 25, 2013, at the age of 94, after a very brief illness. Born the youngest and only son of the five children of Frank Postel and Lois (Wheeler) Postel, Bob was a Madisonian, Dairyman, Badger Fan, and Packer-Backer to his core.
Preceded in death by his wife Jennie, and survived by his daughter Jan (Hans) Zoerb, sons Bob (Robin) Postel and John (Donna) Postel, grandchildren Casey (Amanda) Postel, Elissa Zoerb, Katie Postel, and Sara (Tom) Williams, and great grandchildren Blake, Eli, and Grady, nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends.
Bob lived much more than what almost anyone would call a full life. Born in Muscoda, WI in 1918 and coming of age in Madison, WI during the Depression, Bob was always one to find the challenge and sunshine in a new day.
Having graduated Madison Central High School in the 30's, with the country still deep in financial turmoil, he and his buddies would make their way via car or freight train to California. Working odd jobs around the movie studios and encountering many of the stars of the day, Bob was never short on stories about those formative times. With the likely onset of World War II, he and his friends decided to be proactive and join the Army. This landed Bob in the wartime hotspot of Alaska, where he kept democracy safe from card cheats and crooked craps games. Soon a Staff Sergeant in the Medical Corps, and with war raging in Europe, he shipped out aboard the Queen Elizabeth and arrived in Europe.
As the war was coming to a close, Bob was among the first Liberators to pass through the gates of the Buchenwald concentration camp. The experiences and images there helped shape his life. In fact, he was recently honored in the U.S. Capitol rotunda and at other celebrations hosted by the U.S. Holocaust Museum around D.C. for surviving Liberators. During this trip, Bob especially enjoyed touring the World War II Memorial on the National Mall. He also participated in a Badger Honor Flight and appreciated the efforts acknowledging those who served during WW II.
Bob spent most of his life working in the dairy industry, primarily with Borden Dairy, in Madison, Milwaukee, Pekin, IL, and Southbend, IN. He eventually returned to Madison and worked as a consultant for Bowman Dairy. For many years, he spent the winter months in Bradenton, FL, where he made many wonderful friends on the nearby island of Long Boat Key. During the good weather months in Madison, Bob could usually be found at the Oakcrest Tavern, Lane's Bakery or the Avenue Bar, sharing good times with friends both old and new. Until the last week of his life, Bob stayed active and kept himself young by making close friends with people one-half or one-quarter his age. Bob was a dedicated lifetime Badger sports fan. He was also a huge Packer fan and loved to tell about being at the famous "Ice Bowl." Another great pleasure was following and attending Chicago Blackhawks hockey games with good friends. More often than not, Bob could be found with his camera in hand capturing the people, sites, and festivities in life. His photo collection is almost beyond cataloging. Perhaps Bob's favorite place in the world was Dairyman's Country Club in Boulder Junction, WI, where he would vacation with his family and dear friends like John and Bonnie Beyler and would entertain his many client-friends. He also would make annual trips to the North Woods for deer hunting; really just an excuse to play cards with friends and enjoy the libations and food. When in Madison, Bob was a morning regular at Lane's Bakery. Despite having suffered a recent stroke, Bob still stayed active with family and friends. He loved being at his son Bob's farm house in Oregon, surrounded by his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was an amazing man who led an amazing life and always greeted the day with a smile. He will be with us forever in our loving memories.
A Visitation will be held at CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 3610 Speedway Rd. from 4-7 pm on Thursday, January 31, 2013. Burial will take place on Friday, February 1, 2013 at 11am at Muscoda Public Cemetery in Muscoda, WI.
Memorial contributions may be made to Badger Honor Flight at http://www.badgerhonorflight.org/

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013
get your dog out and TRAIN! caryalsobrook 2013
And that's what makes it even more pitiful and affirms what you said about the minor breeds being "damn near a lost cause" as gundogs - because from this kind of A/V trial, as is held in the UK, you could earn an FC essentially competing against your own breed of dogs.
If - and what an "if," as in "if wishes were Secretariat, you'd have a lot of horsepower to run with" - they had any interest in field work a'tall. Which they don't, feeble endorsements to the contrary. And there's no way enough spaniel - and gundog - lovers could ever import enough working Sussex and Clumbers to have that happen anyway. Double-damned near lost cause, I agree.

Following on from how Gnome is no longer fun, I thought I'd give my perspective, as a person who dropped out of mainstream Gnome-ness to just get on with what I found fun.
I think there are a number of reasons to why Gnome is "no fun" anymore. Other people have brought some of them up already, and seeing as I'm making this up as I go along, I'll probably be retreading the same ground often, but what the hey...
The Lie of Open Source Projects
There is an underlying assumption that an open source project must be as inclusive/transparent as possible. From this, it is thought that all mailing lists must be open, all work must be done in public, all interactions must be seen by everyone, and that all participants in the project are equal. I think this is a lie.
There are many people "involved" in the project, from the coders and designers, to the documenters, translators and testers, and even down to the lurkers on the mailing lists. The lie says that these people are all equal, and that all input, no matter where it comes from, is valid. The problem is that often (not always, but I'll come to that later) it is not. While translators and documenters and testers are all nice people to have on a project, and that it is true that a project may not be complete without them, they are not essential to a projects existence. People will use a program that meets their needs whether it is documented or translated into their native language or not. Programs don't even need to be well designed for them to be popular, they just need to meet the users needs at that time. (eg: winamp and a million other programs) The only people who are essential to whether a project lives or dies are the people coding it. Without sniggering take the doomed GoneME fork of Gnome...a million (well, okay, 10) people with a million ideas, but not one of them with any clue how to put these ideas into code.
No programmers = No project
And this is the first problem this lie perpetuates: Everyone on a mailing list thinks their view is just as important as the people who are doing the work, and the people doing the work end up having draining and 99% of the time pointless flamewars justifying their actions as though they were accountable to the hangers on who, generally, are not very polite about things. Every minor (or not so minor) change in a UI layout apparently renders the entire program USELESSS!!!!
The second problem that comes from this lie is that it helps create and sustain a tabloid press (OSNews, you know who you are). All dirty laundry is washed in public and every little detail is hailed as important, when in fact, its really not.
Both of these problems mean that the coders are being forced to check and double check their work, and anticipate every little detail that might offend, annoy or antagonise the user/reviewer/tabloid journalist or render the software USELESSSSS!!!! This can zap the will of people to do anything, because there's always someone who will be annoyed or at least make out that they will.
If everything is slammed or scrutinised by people who don't matter, it not only destroys the people codings productivity, but it has a detrimental effect of also scaring off potential contributers as well, who look and see this scary bunch of people who just scream USELSSS!!!!! at everything. This whole situation arose from Edd's comments, and although he didn't mention it I think he's feeling the effects of his Bluetooth stuff being dissed and slammed by people who didn't even understand the things they were talking about (Edd, if you read this and I'm wrong, let me know and I'll remove this bit)
A Solution
I don't know really, but I'd suggest closing Gnome down slightly, raising the barrier of entry, so that people who contribute nothing are prevented from distracting the people who actually matter.
People will obviously complain about the gnome elitists, but from my understanding Firefox is an invite only project and it clearly hasn't hampered it.
I think the fun element will return when people are allowed to do what they want to do, without having to worry about the vast majority of people who don't matter.
I program for myself, if other people like what I do, thats nice, but its not what I do it for, so so long as I like what I've done, then I'm happy.
(and before anyone complains that I'm relegating everyone who is not a coder to a lower status I happily admit that there are non coders to whom many projects would not be in the state they are today and whose contributions to the projects are of immense importance, but these people are few and far between, and it takes a lot more work for them to contribute just as well as coders. So for you guys, I applaud you)

Speaking Event: Sea Surge
Brian Fagan, Author, The Attacking Ocean: The Past, Present and Future of Rising Sea Levels
With more than 40 percent of the world's population living in coastal areas, the impacts of climate change and human exploitation on the world's oceans is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. Sea levels are rising and endangering important infrastructure and homes. Coral and shellfish are struggling to survive as the waters undergo acidification caused by increased levels of absorbed CO2. Hundreds of years of increasingly efficient fishing techniques have left the oceans' natural biodiversity severely depleted. What role do oceans play in the world's economy? How will the changes be felt and how will they be adapted to? Is there anything we can do to slow the tide? Join us for a conversation on the impact of a changing climate on the Earth's oceans.

So did Tom Brady...
cant say im surprised that Im disapointed...
Was pissed, then found out we didn't give up the farm for that jump. D is looking NASTY.
Dolphins D is gonna be nasty
Great player. But not a particularly big area of need. Only makes sense if we pull off the Albert trade. You don't draft a potentially franchise QB, then let his left tackle walk and let Nate Gardner or some other bum take over. Find cap space however you can (Marshall, Incognito, Bess (trade)) and get Albert in here. I'll wait to see how everything pans out before calling it a dumb move, but right now im scratching my head.
Physically looks like Jason Taylor to me......
Was impressed with what I saw from Jordan, who could very well have ended up to the Eagles at 4.
Considering what was given up, I liked the pick and aggression to go get him.

Just picked this up at Hastings (similar to a Barnes & Noble) today and read through it. What an awesome story! Very concise and wastes little time in unecessary scenes. The dialog is definitely not as sappy as many have claimed at least from what made it into the comic.
The writer (or should I say adapter) states that there are maybe three scenes in the comic which are cut from the final version of the film. I'm sure I've identified one, I have a idea about another; but have no clue about the third.
1.) Obi-Wan's visit to the Analysis Room in the Jedi Temple, where two robots study the Kyberdart and can't identify it.
2.) I think it is a scene that takes place on Naboo just after Anakin delivers the line, "No, I'd be much to scared to tease a Senator." He then jumps on some giant 'turnip with legs' animal and gets bucked off like a rodeo rider.
3.) ????? no clue about this one, maybe the writer was using outdated information and all the other scenes survived.
I assume that any scene which is in the trailers can safely be considered to be in the movie.
So, anybody else spoil the movie for themselves and read the comic? No? Just me?
The only big surprise, was the lack of any "I am your father" level revelations; but who knows that could have been deliberately cut from the comic adaption. Nonetheless, still a great story! Can't wait till May 16th to see this onscreen.

TUPELO – After finalizing an $8.5 million E911 communications project Monday involving a tax increase, Lee County supervisors listened to another presentation related to an estimated $19 million new jail.
After a public hearing with no opposition, the board unanimously supported a resolution authorizing up to $8.5 million in bonds to upgrade the current E911 communications system used throughout the county.
Costs related to upgrades for the radio upgrades will involve the supervisors passing a modest tax increase that could cost residential property owners $15 annually for a house with an assessed value of $100,000.
Related to building a new jail, architect Mike LeBlanc of MWL Architects in Lafayette, La., presented ideas for a new jail. He said his estimates for a $19 million property should be close to actual costs, but not everyone in the room agreed.
"I think we can do it for less than that," said board president Bobby Smith.

Barrick Gold (ABX) and its spin-off African Barrick Gold (ABGLF) are busy with corporate restructuring this week.
African Barrick Gold has lost 73% of its market value since its parent company Barrick Gold listed it in London in 2010. Its CEO Greg Hawkins resigned yesterday.
Anyone is better than the residing CEO, it seems. J.P.Morgan analyst Dominic O'Kane and team wrote:
We do not know Mr Gordon, but his CV is more operationally focused than his predecessor, which we interpret as a positive as he will be tasked with implementing operational turnaround and overseeing the operational restructuring underway. The appointment of a candidate from outside the Barrick fold should also be perceived well. Should be positive for ABG's shares.
In July, African Barrick Gold wrote down $727 million, after a first-half $700 million net loss. It generated $74 million profit a year ago.
Today, Barrick Gold agreed to divest three Western Australian gold mines to South African producer Gold Fields (GFI) for $300 million. Barrick Gold is similarly down nearly 50% in two years, outpacing a 26% drop in the price of gold.
Reuters has the details on why Barrick Gold is selling the mines:
The sale is the latest move by Toronto-based Barrick to re-shape its portfolio and focus on lower cost assets
Barrick, which recently posted a $8.7 billion writedown and slashed its dividend by 75 percent, has been hurt by the slump in metal prices and weighed down by a balance sheet that carries net debt of $11.6 billion, following its costly Equinox takeover in 2011.
Analysts cheered the deal, but noted that the sale pegs the value of the assets at $115 an ounce, much lower than the North American group average of about $280 per ounce.
Cowen & Co. analysts Adam Graf and Misha Levental calculate that these gold mines are worth $513 million, so Barrick Gold sold its assets at a deep discount.
But it is OK – these assets are almost negligible, contributing to less than 2% of the company's proven reserves. Barrick Gold's priority is to streamline operation and pay down debt.
Reuters also ran an in-depth analysis today on Barrick Gold's chairman and founder Peter Munk's outsized influence in the company:
[Peter Munk] had long sought to transform Barrick into a big diversified miner in the mold of Rio Tinto Ltd or BHP Billiton Ltd.
[Insiders] criticized some of [his] C$7.3 billion ($7.03 billion) takeover of Africa-focused copper miner Equinox in 2011.
[That] deal stretched Barrick just as it was developing the huge Pascua-Lama project on the border of Argentina and Chile, and the Pueblo Viejo gold-mining project in the Dominican Republic.
The Equinox takeover triggered the initial slide in Barrick's share price. Many investors were disenchanted: Stocks of gold miners typically attract higher multiples than those of base metal miners, and Barrick has for years marketed itself as the ideal vehicle for gold bugs.
Barrick Gold rose 2.3% today in New York. African Barrick Gold rose 2.3% in London.

My turkey hunting mentor used to tell me stories of his hunts over the years. Some of them are pretty darn hilarious and I thought I would share one with you guys. This happened well over 30 years ago. Back then he was having some hard times. I don't know how you're going to take it but here goes.
He was standing on a ridgetop right before daylight when he heard a gobble below. He cranked out a series of calls and it answered back. He called again and it was coming closer. He got ready and steadied his gun when this white turkey appeared in front of him. He thought what the heck?
He lowered his gun and this turkey walked right up to him. He thought, well my huntin is done so he got up and started walking back to his car. He looked behind him and this white turkey was following him. The turkey followed him the whole way to his car. So he said the heck with it and shot him. It weighed 30 lbs and he said it was the best eatin' turkey he ever had.

Obear, Clark Hopkins
A resident of New Ipswich, N.H., Clark Obear (1881-1888) was an ardent supporter of the temperance and antislavery movements, and was deeply involved in the affairs of his church and community. Obear and his wife Lydia Ann Swasey (b.1820), whom he married June 8, 1848, were long-time teachers in Hillsborough County, but he worked at various points as a farmer and in insurance, and served in public office as a deputy sheriff, a Lieutenant Colonel in the militia, a fence viewer and pound keeper, and for several years he was superintendent of schools. Obear and his wife had two children, Annabel Clark (b. June 25, 1852, later wife of George Conant) and Francis A. (b. July 7, 1857).
The Obear collection consists of four diaries dated 1845-1851 (252p.), 1871-1877 (ca.280p.), 1878-1883 (280p.), and 1884-1888 (203p.). Although most entries are brief, they form a continuous coverage of many years and offer details that provide a real sense of the rhythms of life in a small village in south central New Hampshire. Of particular note, Obear carefully notes the various lectures he attends in town and the organizations of which he is part, including middle class reform movements like temperance and antislavery.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Got fabric?
Thanks BellaBoo!
If a woman's work is never done....why start?
I was taught to always turn the handwheel toward me,she turned it the other way. Any thoughts?
All these years later, I learn that now!
Same here.......always turned it TOWARD me
The first thing I noticed, she turned the wheel away from her.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Thanks for the link...
I don't think you are supposed to turn the wheel the opposite way. You can get the same result by turning the wheel toward you (unless its a White or other brand that is supposed to turn away from you.). Just my opinion.
The main reason we're taught not to turn the handwheel backwards is that the thread (when making a stitch) can get bound up in the bobbin case area. (On the old treadles, it would usually snap the thread)
It doesn't hurt the machine in any way, and if it's not threaded, it really doesn't matter. The biggest thing is... basically muscle memory. If you always turn it towards you, you always will, and you won't mess your work up.
Often if the take up is way closer to the top if I turn to the back, I will, if I'm threading or whatever. I turn both ways when servicing my machines. Whichever gets me to the grunge faster
Thanks for the link. I' m sure that at times I put the presser foot down while threading.
Love to quilt and play with the great grandkids

Mr Pawan Chaudhary, chaiman and managing director, Venus Remedies, Chandigarh, India
India-based Venus Remedies, which is located in Chandigarh, came into existence way back in September 1989 as Venus Glucose, dealing in intravenous fluids. Since then it has carved a niche in the specialty and super specialty products in high-growth therapeutic segments like antimicrobial resistance, oncology, cardiovascular and neurology for itself. The company presently focuses only on injectable products because of the relatively fewer competition in the segment.
In an exclusive conversation with BioSpectrum, Mr Pawan Chaudhary, chaiman and managing director of the company, speaks about its history, areas of operation, R&D and future outlook.
Please tell briefly about the company history and its relevance in the present day?
Venus started with manufacturing the most common glucose and glucose saline dispensed in 500 ml bottles. However, the company in 1994-95, decided to expand the product portfolio by transforming itself into a research driven company with focus on super specialty and critical care segments where there's unmet need in oncology and antimicrobial resistance segments. By getting listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange, it went public in the year 1995 with a first public issue.
Co-occurring with the sweeping changes in the patent laws governing the Indian drug industry, the company also underwent many many other changes. Today, the company has a presence in six continents and 60 countries covering more than 75 products by shifting its focus from generics to R&D led company and built an in-house R&D facilities comprising the latest technical laboratory testing equipment. Today, the company possesses three manufacturing units, one each on Panchkula, Baddi and Werne (Germany) along with a state-of-the-art research center in Baddi known as Venus Medicine Research Center (VMRC), nine well equipped laboratories with 100 million capacity and competent staff of more than 1,500 employees.
Please explain the company's areas of operation? Which overseas markets have been the target of the company?
Venus is one of the very few R&D-led firms in the world working on anti microbial resistance. The company could foresee the potential of antibiotics fading 10 years back and this has resulted in its focused approach that today it has some the superbug tackling solutions under patent protection. The manufacturing facilities of the company are accredited with around 15 national and international certifications. Besides these, the company's research and development center (VMRC) is also approved by the department of scientific and industrial research (DSIR), government of India.

So.....as I read this thread, it appears some progressives are OK with the influx of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS because some Republicans won't share???
I would like to quote Andrew "Dice" Clay here, but someone would be offended!!!
Stan b & Elvis
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
I'm NOT OK with it. I just don't see any any "simple solutions".
I think that some of the people who came here illegally are an asset to our society/Country. Most probably are not. I have no idea how to sort them out.
As far as truly sealing our borders....... THAT is a pipe dream!!!-Paul
there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
Translating cary's theorem to the current situation: (we are told that most of the illegal immigrants are from Mexico and Central America, so I'm using that as an example).
Things are so bad in Mexico for the poor, that they are willing to risk their lives to come to the US. They are willing to live and work in conditions here that we would consider "dirt poor" (but obviously is still better, in their opinion, than what it would be like in Mexico for them?) They make enough to send $ home to Mexico. The fact that they live here in fear of being sent back to Mexico is somehow our fault, that we need to apologize and fix it?
Yet, we did NAFTA which helped the Mexican economy at cost to US jobs. Just read yesterday that GM will be investing $650 million to expand and improve its Mexican plants. GM accounts for 20% of the manufacturing economy in Mexico. It did not say how much of a %-age Mexican production is of GM's total production. The article happened to mention that US taxpayers lost about $10 billion in the GM bailout. Guess we could consider that aid to Mexico, in addition to whatever else we may give them.
I guess this goes back to the fact that Mexico still thinks we "stole" CA, TX and AZ from Mexico. My understanding of that situation was that the non-Mexican settlers of those states (immigrants, you might say; comparable to the immigrants to the US from Europe & other places, before there were any formal immigrantion laws for either country) were treated so badly that they had their own secessions from Mexico. Similar, perhaps, to the 13 colonies seceding from the British empire? Didn't Mexico also "secede" from Spain in a similar fashion?
Could we solve this problem by just giving CA back to Mexico?
Another interesting article I read was about a small area in Mexico plagued by the drug cartels' violence where the citizens took it upon themselves to arm & defend themselves. They only have antiquated guns and machetes, but they set up their own "checkpoints" to protect themselves. It has actually been effective (at least at the time the article was written). Seems that the govt is leaving them alone to do this for themselves. If the govt of Mexico was smart, they would give them some decent arms, and repeat the same throughout the cartel operating areas. If the US were smart, it would do the same thing for those brave Mexicans who are willing to protect themselves. If ATF could get a couple of thousand illegal arms into Mexico to do so much harm, you'd think that they could get a couple of hundred into Mexico to do some good? That would be too simple, I suppose.
"Know in your heart that all things are possible. We couldn't conceive of a miracle if none ever happened." -Libby Fudim
I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
The question is what to do with those already here. There are a conservatively estimated 11 million here. The cost of rounding up and deporting an illegal is about $30,000 dollars. To get them all will cost about a third of a trillion dollars to round up and deport. This is not to mention the expansion of government to take up the task.
There are those who will put up a huge objection to deportation, namely those who employ stoop labor or an under the radar workforce. The American mantra is those who work hard should benefit from the fruits of their labor. I believe should be included in that a path to citizenship. If they contribute then they should be eligible and not kept permanently in an under class. That will come back and bite you in the end.
There will always be illegal immigration. You can build a fence or wall but it will be tunneled under. A ship load of immigrants from the Orient will inevitably discharge it load in the fog off the West Coast. Amnesty or no amnesty isn't going to make a difference. If there is no food on the table where you live, you are going to migrate to some place you can eat. If you are a Mexican farmer and the US subsidy to corn growers lowers the cost of corn world wide to the point you can't sell yours, then you are going to migrate. You can take steps to slow the rate of migration, but it is going to cost money and entail aggressive government action, something that Republicans loath.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
I think it starts by making business do the SSN# check thru the national database.
Start with fortune 500 companies, then the next tier etc on down to Dan's Black Top Service.
No jobs for illegals, many stop coming.
This is essentially the result of the last FAILED effort for immigration reform.
Why do the same thing again?
As far as federal benifts, I don't know what to do.
I did hear Paul Ryan explain his plan this morning, it sounds good.
But we all know what happens once these idiots in congress get started on something.
It's like the game we played as kids, where you whisper something in someones ear, they pass it on and by the end of the 5 person line it bears no resemblance to the original thought.
Again, I think this issue is best addressed thru controlling the hiring of illegals.
I also think the 10 year path is at minimum the time frame to citizenship of the USA!
And all the same criteria used for LEGAL immigrants should be met.
Stan b & Elvis
First of all, if anyone were to classify me as to party, it would be Libertarian. Second the statement as to Republicans a "I have mine so screw you", has the same meaning whether applied to immigration or labor.
You say you are not envious of those who have wealth, "especially those who have earned it". Tell me who are those WHO HAVE NOT EARNED IT? That I would be curious to know.
You say "I have enough of my own". So you do have wealth. Do you have fun counting it? I grewup being taught that you SPEND LESS THAN YOU MAKE. IT IS NOT HOW MUCH YOU MAKE BUT HOW MUCH YOU SAVE. I will count it occasionally to see if I have been successful or failed. It is fun when I have been sucessful and not so fun if I have failed. I have lived that way as my Father did, to provide my son a better opportunity, not an equal opportunity(whatever that is). Do I consider this an important part of my life, hell yes. Do I consider this the only part of my life, hell no.
I once had someone tell me I had the most diverse group of friends when it came to economic wealth and educational background. I really had not ever thought about it. Neither had ever been that important when it came to my friends. I have since wondered if that was truly a compliment. Did she think that was by design or that was just the way it was. I guess I will never know the answer.
I will close with telling of the first time I met Huntinman at the jamboree that RK so kindly started. He came and didn't even have a dog. He sat out there not only throwing ducks all day long but also paid attention as to the needs of those running dogs. He helped those dogs that the handler would request and let those dogs hunt if necessary. He is the kind of person I like to call my friend. I can only hope that soon he will get the dog he wants and I can repay him for the help he gave me. Thanks Huntinman, I just want you to know that your work did not go unnoticed.

Scooter numbers - breaking even?
Assumptions are my business and business is good. So let's get down to something that has been on my mind for a while - when does my purchase of a scooter break even? There's a number of items to consider here:
- The initial cost of the scooter
- The price of gas
- The difference in gas mileage between my car and the scooter
- The decreasing value of the scooter as years go by (resale value)
It's not a terribly difficult forumla. My break even comes when the money saved on gas + the current value of the scooter becomes greater than the initial investment in the scooter. (This is where the 'assumption' business comes in - scooter devaluation, variable price of gas, inflation, etc., etc.) Fortunately, we have Google Spreadsheets to the rescue. Look at the chart above - it's the $3/gallon gas chart and the green line is my 'break even' line. If a new car (scooter) loses half it's value when you drive it off the lot, then my break even point is out there a ways. 13,000 miles. Considering that I've been putting 500 miles a year or so on my scooter, that's 26 years.
...which is a long, long way out there. But hey, high priced gas to the rescue:
This is UK-style $5/gallon gasoline. This break even point is just 6000 miles. If you tend to be gas-pessimistic like I am, then $5+/gal gas is something that's not far around the bend.
And when gas prices continue to rise, I'd bet that I'd put more than 500 miles per year on my scooter.

I didn't expect Die Cast Metal - I don't think MP Prime is any part metal either. Oh - maybe the chest panels in the front of the cab that open for the Matrix of Leadership. But most of him's plastic.
If the guy didn't extend Starscream's legs or something while transforming him, that might be an issue with the height. I could have sworn I saw a picture of the two MPE together and Starscream was the same height as Prime (about 12").
We'll see when it arrives I guess. I have not yet been charged nor e-mailed that it is shipping. The website said "In-Stock" though - and I got a confirmation e-mail about my order. Since then, that's been it.
I probably ordered it about a week ago - immediately after you provided me with a couple links to buy Starscream from. (I still give my thanks).

The history of women in space began 50 years ago—and continues to this day
Fifty years ago this week, Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova made history by becoming the first woman in space. Since then, other women have followed the trail she blazed—and more are on the way. On Monday, NASA, the U.S. space agency, selected eight new astronauts—half of them female. This is NASA's first new class of astronauts in four years, and it features the agency's highest-ever percentage of women.
Shooting for the Stars
Tereshkova flew into space on June 16, 1963, on the three-day Vostok 6 mission. It took place just two years after another Russian cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, achieved the first piloted spaceflight in 1961.
A textile worker from a modest family, Tereshkova became interested in parachuting at a young age. Her experience in parachute jumping led to her being recruited as a cosmonaut by the Russian government. Tereshkova and four other women were part of the first all-female cosmonaut training group in 1961, but only Tereshkova ever completed a flight.
Tereshkova became an instant celebrity upon returning to Earth. She has received many awards and honors since her flight. Today, she serves in the Russian government.
Looking Ahead
After Tereshkova's landmark mission, it would take another 20 years for the United States to send a woman into space. Astronaut Sally Ride became the first female American astronaut to leave Earth on June 18, 1983. Since then, a total of 57 women from nine different countries have blasted off.
Two women are currently in orbit. NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg is aboard the International Space Station. Last week, China sent its second-ever female astronaut, Wang Yaping, to work on its orbiting space module. However, Tereshkova remains the only woman to complete a solo flight.
In recent years, NASA has run into trouble with funding. Currently, there are no American spacecraft that can carry humans to space. However, this new class of astronaut candidates suggests that NASA is looking ahead to the future of space exploration. The group includes the first female fighter pilot to become an astronaut in almost two decades, as well as a female helicopter pilot.
The class will begin training in August. "They're excited about the science we're doing on the International Space Station and our plan to . . . [go] there on spacecraft built by American companies," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden in a statement. "And they're ready to help lead the first human mission to an asteroid and then on to Mars."

Leader for a Beulah 9/10 Surf Rod?
Can you use the same leader on the 9/10 wt surf rod as you would using a 10 wt 1 handed rod?
for leaders my friends use a 15-16# but 12 would work depending on how finicky the fish are and then they over line the rod by 2 so you should be throwing 11# (their favorite is the rio outbound short) with a short head for a shorter back cast,,, but that will throw the enitre line and a 6/0 fly in one haul using that short headed line with almost no effort at all .
Stan, the short answer is yes. I tend to use a leader slightly longer than what I would use with a single-handed rod, but only by a foot or two, and it is by no means a necessity. I just got back from Chatham yesterday, and I tested several lines with my Beulah 11' 9/10 Surf rod. Several people, including James Shaunessey, the owner of Beulah, has suggested I would prefer the 500-550 grain heads over the ones under 500 grains. I did quite a bit of fishing with the now discontinued Airflo 40+ Beach line in the 11/12 version which is 530 grains. I just found that line to overwhelm the rod, and I had a tough time forming tight loops with it. The 9/10 version, which is 425 grains is much nicer to cast. About one in every 15 casts with the 11/12 everything would come together and I'd pop off a huge cast, but even that was only about ten or fifteen feet more than I would consistently get with the 9/10. I also used the prototype of the Beulah 535 grain surf head with a Rio SlickShooter running line and also found that one to overload the rod. Personally, I think something in the 450-475 grain range would be best suited to me. When thinking about this it occurred to me that those who false cast probably would prefer the heavier line. I fish these as a shooting system and simply lay the line down with the head and about a foot of running line outside the rodtip (though I had to use less with the 11/12 lines) and in the direction you intend to cast. I let the head sit there only long enough to get some bite and then throw a backcast and a forward cast. The problem with the heavier (500+ grain) lines is that they were way to difficult to pick up once laid down and that difficulty resulted in wide loops and a backcast too close to the water to suit me. It helped when I started allowing only about a half second of laydown for the line to get traction, but I still preferred the lighter line.
I've heard from many who prefer the Outbound short (or Airflo 40+ Coldwater) for this type of fishing. I've found the longer head of the standard Outbound, or the 40+Beach lines way preferable. The difference between a 30' head and one that's 35' or 37.5' is substantial and unless there is a clearance problem behind you I just find throwing the longer heads with the double-handed rod easier and way more comfortable. For single-handed work I've switched over completely to the 30' Rio Outbound Shorts.
James Shaunessey mentioned to me a month or so ago that the prototypes of the Beulah full line Beach lines should be out shortly. I'll be looking forward to trying those as I wasn't happy using that prototype head. Since I strip line almost to the point where the fly can sometimes end up near the rod tip, I found that connections between the head and the running line rattling though the guides constantly to be a distraction at best and a hindrance at other times, and I had all my connections done right and coated properly. It's much nicer to use an integrated shooting head for that purpose, and I believe others agree which is why the Rio Outbounds are so popular. And even though the Airflo 40+ Beach lines didn't sell well, I personally believe that's because they were ahead of their time. Surf and beach fishing with double-handed rods is growing exponentially each year, and I think those lines would sell better today if they were still on the market. The standard 40+ Coldwater lines do sell quite well.
Sorry for the long-winded post, but this issue is something I dealt with quite seriously during my week on the Cape so everything was very fresh in my mind.
JR SPEY, great post!:cool: That's exactly what I was looking for.
It sounds like you have the same casting style as I have. I don't like to waste any casts just 1 backcast and let it go on the forward cast. I had already bought an intermediate 11/12 Airflo Beach line 2 weeks ago that was on sale. I will try it when I get the rod and if I find the same problem you had I will get the 9/10 version from the same place. I also bought a 12wt Outbound (long head) floater and will see how that works.
I can't wait to use this rod around Montauk Point this year.;) :D

text: No sign of these anywhere in my area. I've been reading disturbing news that Walmarts have been doing their planograms for the fall reset and many stores seem to have no intention of carrying the 6" line. If a retailer the size of Walmart opts out of carrying this line, then I don't think that bodes well for the long term longevity of the 6" figures.

Flight great - only about 1 hour long - flew low over the Hoover Dam on the way in - amazing to see from the air. Was looking across a vast Navada Desert when suddenly Vegas appeared and as we got closer the various theme hotels could be clearly identified.
Went directly to our hotel - The Flamingo - which had a great location right in the middle of the strip. Strolled around for the evening - fascinating sights & sounds, all types of people hanging around. Played a few slots before bed and won enough to cover my gambling for the rest of the week.

Q: Where did you find your original inspiration for Midwinter Reds?
A: We went to the Infinite Variety Show at the Armory in NYC last spring. It was hugely inspirational.
Q: What would be your collection's theme song?
A: Something very American. Maybe some Gershwin - a little bit classical - a little bit jazzy, and very dramatic.
Q: Tell us about your background. How did you get into the fabric and quilting industry?
A: We have always loved textiles. I've been quilting longer than most people have been alive and Polly has hooked rugs for many years and has collected antique textiles even longer. We had both been doing just our solo ventures into textiles when Polly was approached to do a book on her rugs and her decorating with quilts (mostly my quilts). That is the beginning. That book led to several more books and adventures and then Moda approached us about designing fabric with our Americana look. We have enjoyed it immensely.
Q: What projects do you hope to see using Midwinter Reds? Quilts, apparel, accessories, home décor projects?
A: Quilts of course. Polly's main quilt collections are two color quilts - I have many in blue and white, so I expect to end up with a great red/white quilt from this collection we love so much.Home Dec is obviously always our intention also. There is a wonderful collection of wovens with this group including some fabulous ikats. Nothing is more topical than ikats in home decorating right now.
Q: Does your family give you input on your designs?
A: Our families are very supportive and they know what long hours we put into our work. Time away from home is frequent in our industry. Travel is a perk and also a hindrance to home life. It wouldn't be possible if we didn't have all their support.
Q: What are some blocks or obstacles you encounter in your creativity, and how do you get past them?
A: Writing patterns was a big obstacle. I couldn't understand how to get what was in my head into those paper sheets in a plastic envelope. Thankfully we have found someone who can help. I design old style - with a pencil and paper and lots of erasers. I often send drawings, sketches, sewn blocks, or the entire sewn quilt top to our pattern person, Lisa. She turns it into the pattern with the finished graphics and text. We then work together to proof read a pattern. That consists of basically - just making the quilt again - step by step with the written text as the guide and seeing if there are any mistakes. It is the biggest time commitment in our work.
|Hamptons Quilt Kit by It's Sew Emma featuring Midwinter Reds
A: The teeny little flower shirting - 14764
Q: What inspires your work?
A: Everything. Really. You never know what will spark an idea. Travel and shopping seem to be the big ones for Polly and I.
Q: What do you plan to make using Midwinter Reds?
A: I've made all the quilts of course and they will all find a good use in my home. There is lots of red and white in my house. I LOVED making the scarves and look forward to fall when I can wear them.
