I thought this was a good article. I had no idea that the Bears cross-trained their oline personnel. In this case, it may help a little bit for Carimi's adjustment.

Bears not sweating shuffling their OL
Jay Cutler checks on guard Lance Louis, who went down with an injured knee. — E. Jason Wambsgans, Chicago Tribune, Nov. 25, 2012
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- While it's uncommon to lose a pair of starters on the offensive line in the same game the way Chicago did Sunday during its win over the Minnesota Vikings, the Bears aren't exactly novices at dealing with attrition up front.
Perhaps that's why Bears quarterback Jay Cutler didn't hesitate when stating what needs to take place Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in order for the offensive line to experience success.
"We've just got to be careful of what we ask those guys to do, make sure they're on the same page, (and) protect them," Cutler said. "You don't want to throw a lot of sevens (seven-step drops) and chuck the ball 40-50 times. They're not programmed for it. They're in new positions. Some guys haven't even played guard. We've just got to be smart with it."
They've done it before, which sends optimism throughout the staff internally. The Bears trotted out five combinations of starters on the offensive line in 2011 for the first six games and couldn't use the same group of starters consistently until the final nine outings. Only former Bears centerOlin Kreutz started every game of 2010 in the same spot on the offensive line.
Then in 2011, the Bears used five different combinations of starters up front through the first 10 games, with left tackle J'Marcus Webb and center Roberto Garza representing the group's only players to start at the same position for all 16 games. During that season, Edwin Williamsstarted the final seven games at left guard after Chris Williams suffered a fractured wrist.
It's expected at this point that Edwin Williams will start at the same position Sunday against the Seahawks as the fill-in for Chris Spencer, who suffered a knee injury, but is expected to be out for one to two weeks, according to a source familiar with the situation. Williams represents somewhat of an upgrade in the power running game, but doesn't block as well in space as the athletic Spencer.
Still, Williams has started in 10 contests over the past two seasons with the Bears.
"We'll see. We'll try to make sure we've got the best five guys," Tice said. "At the same time, we have to have seven guys ready to play because if one of the guys can't handle it or it's too much for them, then we've got to move another guy in. We've got to have at it. We can't wait until Monday and say, 'Ah, we should've made a change.' If we've got to make one, we'll make one."
Former starting right tackle Gabe Carimi, who was demoted last week in favor of Jonathan Scott, is expected to start at right guard for Lance Louis after the club placed the normal starter on the injured reserve Tuesday because of a torn ACL. So just days after losing his starting job, Carimi found himself back in the No. 1 group.
Interestingly, prior to Sunday, Carimi last played guard during the 2011 Senior Bowl for two days of practice, and "it didn't help at all," he said. Asked after Wednesday's workout whether the staff told him he'd play right guard this week, Carimi said, "Yeah, that's where it is."
"Everything's quicker. Steps are different (at guard)," Carimi said. "(In) games, you have to pass them off differently. There's a lot of different things with it. Different things you can be more aggressive with. I wouldn't say you can be any more aggressive (as a guard as opposed to tackle). I'm just looking to step in wherever (I'm needed)."
Scott expressed confidence in Carimi's ability to start at guard "because of the simple fact he has the tenacity to play the game." Scott also revealed the club cross-trains the offensive line at virtually every position for situations such as the one the Bears currently face.
Cutler, meanwhile, complimented Carimi for the way he handled the demotion at tackle.
"Can't be easy, especially for a young guy like that," Cutler said. "To get sat down like that, it was tough on him at first. But I talked to him. Coach Tice talked to him. I'm sure (general manager) Phil (Emery) and some other guys talked to him. We felt like he just needed a little bit of a break. The NFL's weird like that. You never know what's going to happen. Guys go down, and now he's back in at guard. (He) stepped in and did a nice job for us. Maybe this is his position."
If it's not, the Bears signed five-time Pro Bowler Andre Gurode as insurance. According to a source, Gurode joins the Bears strictly in a reserve capacity, giving them a total of seven healthy offensive linemen for Sunday's game, because it's expected the club would list Spencer among the gameday inactives.
A long-time player for the Dallas Cowboys, Gurode joins the Bears having familiarity with players such as Garza and Jonathan Scott, both native Texans. Scott and Gurode work out together during the offseason in the Dallas area.
"This is honestly all brand new to me," Gurode said Wednesday. "Some of the things (in the playbook) are similar. It's a pretty extensive playbook. I'm looking forward to getting into it and learning as best I can. We looked at a couple of different things today. I got some things down. But I'm gonna keep working at it, take it home tonight, and start studying all over again. I think you come in understanding how big of an opportunity this really truly is, and you want to do anything and everything to help the team win."
Scott called Gurode's vast experience "very instrumental" and "tremendous for this team."
Tice's familiarity with moving around pieces on Chicago's offensive line in recent years might be viewed the same.
"We're a little banged up up front, but that's the NFL. Every team has issues," Tice said. "We brought in a veteran guy in Andre Gurode and also moved a few guys around. We'll see how we do."

Go Bears!
Might also be why none of them are great at one position.
Man, I was just looking at the 2012 NFL draft results and could help but remember we had a chance to grab the 12th or 13th pick and get one of the offensive tackles available (No way we would have gotten Kalil). We drafted from a position of strength and now Wootton is developing at a decent level. SIGH.............
Emery wanted to prove he was the smartest guy in the room w/that 19th pick; and so far he's been proven wrong.
Sorry MPB, I wan't clear. If we had lost one more game (Kind of tanked the season finale) I think our place in the pecking order would have been either 12 or 13 IIRC. That is why I mentioned it. The tackle I was specifically recalling was Reilly Reiff but I was not aware he has not been lighting it up.
Gotcha, dabears. Yeah, I was actually rooting for us to lose that last meaningless game last year. I know that isn't the "right attitude" esp against a division rival, but yeah that 'win' cost us a big injury to Urlacher and 5 or so draft positions as you mentioned.
I don't know how much difference that would have made anyway with regard to OTs. Reiff isn't starting at LT for Detroit. (Kalil is the only rookie playing LT this year). I think Reiff isn't even first string at RT either. He's been used mostly as 6th linemen in specialty packages. Doesn't mean he won't become a good starter eventually but it does mean what we knew last year--there was no one available to us in the draft who would provide an immediate LT upgrade.
Perhaps we should have taken Glenn or DeCastro with the #19 pick rather than Shea. That I could see. But there really wasn't an OT worth taking in the 1st.

"Andy has successfully elevated networking into more of a strategic arena ...................rather than it just being a "skills" thing. "
Phil Jesson, Director of Speaker Development Academy for Chief Executives
"There are many motivational speakers on the circuit who leave behind them just a short lived glow and then there are the subject matter pragmatic, passionate presenters who can potentially change the long term way their audience thinks or operates. I'd put Andy Lopata in the latter category. "
Trevor Salomon – Director, Corporate Marketing, IFS
"Andy is an energetic presenter who quickly captured our audience's attention. The content of his presentation was excellent and fostered lively commentary and questions. We will definitely have Andy back for another session and are looking for other ways to partner with him. "
Jennifer Rademaker, Head of Strategy Development Europe, MasterCard
"It was the best talk I've ever been to. Loved the content, pacing, delivery, structure. Your message was very memorable (imparting that much information can leave listeners forgetting what was said) and you managed the balance between substance, detail and memorability well. "
Rebecca Aguilar, BBC Worldwide
"Andy certainly made a difference on how I normally approach / perceive events such as this. "
Ann Azzopardi, Category Buying Manager, Pret a Manger
"The striking thing about Andy is that he writes a book on networking that demystifies the process and shows you all the things you know you should be doing - but never really get round to. Then he surprises you by practising what he preaches! "
Russ King, Product Manager, Monster.com
"Andy worked with my business partner and me for a number of months as a referral and networking coach.
Our business has demonstrably grown due to the new techniques and skills learned through working with Andy. "
Dan Hall, Financial Advisor, Merrill Lynch
"Of all the events I've organised, I have never received so much unsolicited thanks and positive feedback as I did following this. "
Emma Mortimore Membership Secretary, One Alfred Place
"It was an absolute pleasure to work with you! Your balance of information, practical interaction and anecdotal evidence was perfect for the delegates – they seemed enthralled! "
Tracy Johnson, Marketing Services Director, Eventia
"Several people were surprised to find out that Andy didn't work in our sector as he related his knowledge so well and confidently, which was key to getting the audience to buy into his advice. "
Suzanne Rowse, Director, British Boarding Schools Workshop
""In the three months since Andy delivered his sessions, I've noticed a clear change in the approach taken by everyone who participated. We have already received a number of referrals as a result." "
Andy O'Sullivan, Head of Sales - Hospitality, Wembley Stadium
"Andy has a can do and flexible attitude and is happy to develop and shape the content in line with the clients changing needs. Feedback from participants on Andy's workshops has been consistently very positive. "
Una Murphy, Manager BBC Careerlink

Typhlosion is one of my favorite fire types.
"Do you know the definition of insanity?"
I have claimed the Camel with Volcanoes on its back, Camerupt!
My favourite Pokemon is Garchomp,Which is also Sinnoh's Champion Cynthia's main pokemon.What I like about Garchomp is that it has a very high speed and has a high defense and attack.I have used it in my whole journey in Pokemon White.It is my main pokemon in my battling team.I would rate Garchomp,9/10.
In my humble opinion, while Garchomp is friggin epic, one of my favorite Sinnoh pokes, it is nowhere near as cool as Dragonite. Sure, Dragonite is a cartoony-looking dragon thing and Garchomp is a dragon shark, but hey, it's MY opinion! According to this Serebii page, (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/stat/all.shtml), they have equal base stats. While Garchomp's Dragon-type attacks can do heavy damage to Dragonite, its Ground-type moves cannot. What's your favorite of the two pseudo-legendaries?

Spoiler:- LOOKING FOR THE FOLLOWING DREAM WORLD FEMALES:
Dragonite has better attack than Garchomp. I believe Garchomp has base 130 and Dragonite has 134.
Anyway, Dragonite would win in a fight. Multiscale would reliably let it set up a Dragon Dance, and then that takes care of its middling speed while skyrocketing its Attack. Don't forget that Multiscale can be used again with Roost.
if comparing d-nite and chomp, I still have to give chomp the upper hand...sure d-nite can be a wall, be mixed, or be a crazy physical attacker, it's just too slow....I mean its speed isn't horrible and with multiscale, one d-dance can be assured...unless for fake out weavile but I digress...chomp starts out fast and after one swords dance, it's ready to sweep, d-nite needs slightly more setting up to work effectively..
Draconic pokemon are king !!!
Current White 2 Team:
Spoiler:- awesomeness:
my deviantart featuring a wide array of moemon drawn by yours truly: http://xxd17.deviantart.com/
Problem with Garchomp is that it doesn't have reliable insurance like Multiscale. Mamoswine could revenge it with Ice Shard an make short work of it. Dragonite, on the other hand, could survive an Ice Shard and use that turn to boost with Dragon Dance, and then that solves its middling speed problem, making it faster than choice band Garchomp.
In other words, the two need the same amount of setting up in order to work.
i have a question how do u get the red orb in soul silver? i already have all 16 badges wat do i do now?

Kia unveils KH/K9 rear-drive sedan photos on Facebook, asks for naming help
Unlike Peter Schreyer's striking Optima, which clearly thumbs its nose at his previous masters in Wolfsburg by showing them what the new Volkswagen Passat could've looked like, Kia's new full-size sedan has some serious post-Bangle BMW happening.
The new rear-driver, built on the Hyundai Genesis platform, previously code-named KH and known in South Korea as K9 (yeah, we love old-school Dr. Who, too) is actually--according to Kia's Facebook page--nameless.
Kia has enlisted the social network's hive mind to come up with a name for the machine, and so far, nothing has blown our mind, save for someone's suggestion of "Lagos." That's only because we've long nursed a fantasy of bombing across the Nigerian city in 1970 in a 1965 Wildcat convertible with the Ify Jerry Crusade bumping through the primitive sound system.
The most common response from commenters so far? "5-series." That leaves us wondering, after a killer run over the past few years, has Kia finally made a misstep?
While the car shown here is officially listed as a "concept," don't expect it to change much. A South Korean launch is to come within the first half of this year, followed by a rollout in unspecified global markets. Given the company's ambitions, we'd be more surprised if it didn't make a U.S. appearance--perhaps under the name Kia Dalek?

Big Country High School Still Rated Academically Unacceptable
By: Brendaliss Gonzalez
Updated: February 1, 2013
"I have three students in the Jim Ned High school, so it is definitely a concern of mine," said Betty Hartmankok.
They're concerned about a grade for the entire high school..
A state assessment stating the school's academics isn't up to par.
fact its unacceptable.
Really, that's the actual outcome of an assessment by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) that deemed the school as academically unacceptable and
now administrators have to by law notify parents.
"We're just making sure we do an excellent job regardless of what the state thinks," said David Hogan, the principal at Jim Ned High school.
The rating however is from two years ago.
This has some parents concerned.
"You know you want them to make sure that they are getting what they need you know to be productive," said Hartmankok.
That's how long its been since the last assessment which administrators think is now outdated.
"We ran the numbers ourselves as as last years even though we didn't have the chance to exit our current rating and it looked like that we would have been outside of the academically unacceptable rating," said Hogan.
Yet they still have to send out this note every year until the next assessment, regardless and parents still have thje option to move their child to another school, which some are considering.
"If I felt like you know it would be more comprehensive to get the math," said Hartmankok.
That's the subject enough students failed in for them to recieve this rating.
But not all parents are worried.
"They've done just fine so they're really pretty smart as far as I have seen and I really don't have a problem with it whatsoever," said Jenny Michaels, whose children go to the high school.
long as they make the grade next time around.
A representative from TEA says the reason they haven't had another assessment since 2011 is because they're changing their methods of assessing for the 2013 school year.
Hogan assures they are now up to standards and parents shouldn't expect to receive this letter next year.

Between the end of the Civil War and roughly 1930, hundreds of uncanny tales were published by women. These include stories by familiar figures such as Edith Wharton, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Charlotte PerkinsGilman, as well as by authors almost wholly unknown to twenty-firstcentury readers, such as Josephine Dodge Bacon, Alice Brown, Emma Frances Dawson, and Harriet Prescott Spofford.Scare Tactics analyzes this... -

Ghost-Watching American Modernity
María del Pilar Blanco
In Ghost-Watching American Modernity, María del Pilar Blanco revisits nineteenth- and twentieth-century texts from Spanish America and the United States to ask how different landscapes are represented as haunted sites. Moving from foundational fictions to Westerns, Blanco explores the diverse ways in which ghosts and haunting emerge across the American hemisphere for authors who are preoccupied with evoking the... -
Time Travel
David Wittenberg
Time Travel: The Popular Philosophy of Narrative argues that time travel fiction is a narrative "laboratory," in which essential theoretical questions about storytelling, and by extension about the philosophy of temporality, history, and subjectivity, are represented in the form of literal devices and plots.
Better Off Dead
The Evolution of the Zombie as Post-HumanEdited by Deborah Christie and Sarah Juliet Lauro
"The borderlands between biology and sociology, between natural history and history, between life and forms of life, are the territory of a new field to be named later . . . This innovative collection of essays on the zombie phenomenon maps that territory in high relief. Not least in that horror stories literalize our ways of thinking and feeling, and realize them out there in world . . . In the wake of these compelling accounts of life and afterlife in our wound culture, there's new hope for the dead."

A season of parity played out in what was an epic night of playoff games, as SD Hoops saw its top four seeds reach the semifinals tonight, each thinking they had a chance to take the title.

2 More Teams Clinch Playoff Berths in Week 17
The regular season rolled on with a few more tight games in Week 17 and outstanding individual performances from the usual suspects.
Struggling Pecs (5-10) broke a long losing streak by besting second-place Wsup Now (10-5) in a 62-52 victory, despite another 36 points from league leader Jeff Leas. Patrick Schoettler (Pecs) was fantastic in securing his league-leading 10th double-double...
Bulls & Bears Clinches #1 Overall Seed - Week 16 Results
Congratulations to Paul Demke and his Bulls & Bears (12-2) as they clinched the #1 overall seed for this year's playoffs, by virtue of their 43-32 victory over Pecs (4-10). Wsup Now (10-4) defeated shorthanded Flicks (7-8), who played with just four players, 85-43 to take a one-game lead for second place. That's because The Loft (9-5) fell to Noah Ingram (28 points) and Baja Betty's (5-9...
Week 15 Stats Posted
Not a whole lot was settled in the league's playoff chase this week, although Bulls & Bears (11-2) took a giant step towards clinching the #1 overall seed with their 60-55 win over second-place The Loft (9-4).
Helping with that separation was a stunning 48-46 victory by last-place Jersey Joe's (4-10) over Wsup Now (9-4). Coach James Vidovich hit three second-half 3-pointers, and Bob...

Protect the Constitution Viewed 77,428 times
By: Mike PorterPublished for Logan, Utah (Area-Info.net Jun. 09, 2012)
To the Editor:
In my view many of the issues this Nation is facing today are larger than partisan politics, parties, individuals, or elected officials. Many, if not most of the problems our Country is facing are a direct result of the drift we have allowed and supported away from the Constitution. Unfortunately, today constitutionality seems to be a forbidden topic, not well understood, or a radical position of discussion. I believe we need to return to the guiding principles of that document, and it is the role of "We The People" who are responsible to do it, not just our elected officials.
The founders spoke openly of the role of divine providence in the forming of the US Constitution. J. Reuben Clark, Jr., a prominent attorney of the Department of State and Under Secretary of State stated, "the Constitution of the United States as it came from the hands of the Framers with its coterminous Bill of Rights, makes of the principles of that document an integral part of my religious faith. It is a revelation from the Lord."
I believe one day we may have to answer to our God how we supported and befriended the principles of freedom contained in that document.
We must stop viewing the issues of this Nation in the light of our own self interest but in the interest of the Country with a constitutional perspective. An understanding of the proper role of government is also essential when judging what the proper function of government is or should be. It is the responsibility of every citizen to avoid being a "Sunshine Patriot" but to be knowledgable of the political process and its proper function.
President Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
It is time we hold our elected officials accountable for their actions. Our elected officials take an oath to support, obey and defend the Constitution of this land. It is time we become stewards of the God inspired Constitution and demand our elected leaders to follow it. It is not hard to see how this drifting away from those guidelines has led to inefficiency, a loss of liberty, and incredible debt.
There are many Countries facing collapse because of the oppressive hand of socialism. Socialism is communism lite, it is government ownership and control of all means of production and distribution in a community. It is collectivism not individualism where government is the granter of rights not God given inalienable rights. Government was instituted by man to protect our God given rights, not to be the guarantor of entitlements, bailouts or to redistribute wealth.
Government has a natural tendency to grow; and politicians get re-elected by granting favors from the public trust. It is our job to think critically about the issues facing this Nation from the proper perspective of constitutionalism and the proper role of government. We must be aware of the tendency of government to follow this path and resist it at all costs if we are to maintain our freedoms vouched safe by the Constitution.
Mike Porter

Poles broke/netting ripped in 3 days
By GoBC
from New Jersey
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Trend Sports Xtender 36 Home Batting Cage:
Easy for my husband and I to put up in a few hours. My 6-year-old son loved using his Heater pitching machine w/ this cage. After only 3 days, one side of the cage fell down, and bent one of the poles. We tried to put back up, and then the stake broke. Wasn't even windy out when it fell down. Also, the netting ripped very easily. Very disappointed. We are trying to rig it back together somehow using store-bought pipes, and sew the holes in the net, but what a waste of money. While it was up, it looked great and did the job. But it's very fragile. I will contact the company, but don't have high hopes for the replacement parts I hope they send.

Looks good but thats about all
By LOTTA
from Douglas,Georgia
Caves in with the slightest wind or rain. Have had poles break and they want you to mail them back to them for repair. I am having to buy another cage and will end up eating this one. They also are defensive and rude when you try to call Trend Sports about the problem. My mistake but one I will not make again.

This is the cage to buy!
By Bob the baseball player
My son loves it the first day we put it up he used it for 4 hours stright. Easy to put together but will take 2 or 3 people

About Me Competitive Athlete
I got this on christmas and it didnt come with the two stakes to make it 36 ft. so we will be contacting them soon. i use it with the heater sinker. the sinker is good but has a topspin effect on the ball. but overall it is something to do an improves hitting once you get use to it. The setup took about 3 hours, but it could have taken maybe 1. just follow the directions. good luck!

Good Cage
By Baseball Dad
from Stanley NC
See all my reviews
Overall this is a good cage for your back yard. This cage is a good size. I have noticed shorter cages offered but I would not purchase one any shorter becaue the reaction time would have to be too quick for younger players. My sons are 5, 7 and 9. The cage takes 4 - 5 hours to setup and once up I will not move it! The cage seems very fragile and I wish the netting was a little thicker but so far it has held up nicely. I believe it it stronger than it looks.

Go | New | Find | Notify | Tools | Reply |
RULES FOR THE ONGOING MONTHLY FQ LOTTERY HOSTED BY KC1930: *** Rules for the 2012 Lottery Session*** PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO CAREFULLY READ ALL THE RULES—IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE PM ME. ****ARE YOU READY FOR THE 'TWISTS'????**** ** If you plan to play the 2012 FQ lottery, contact me via PM with your email address. I will in turn email you a questionnaire for those of you that are new to fill out before playing. This information will be used for the "twist." **Those of you who played in the 2011 FQ lottery already have a great advantage! For instance, if you played in the June 2011 FQ lottery and play in the June 2012 FQ lottery, you will get a bonus ticket in the drawing for the twist! **If you send in at least one (1) FQ for each month (total of 12 FQ's) and your package is postmarked by 12.31.11, you will get a bonus coupon for each month for the twist! Be aware that your 12 FQ's must meet the guidelines of the theme in order to be allowed. **If you send in an incorrect fabric(s) for the specific month's theme, I will not substitute fabric from my own stash as I have previously done. I can, however, either return back to you at your expense or enter them into the December Stashbuster lottery. Remember, if you send me the 12 fabrics as listed above they must meet the theme standard or the bonus ticket offer will NOT apply. So, please be certain they meet the guidelines before shipping! Questions? Just ask! **If you send in a total of six (6) FQ's in any combination of the month's themes for ALL 12 months you will have a HUGE bonus advantage for the year-end blowout prize! **Okay, okay, so what is the FIRST twist??? Each month we will have a surprise gift drawing—it might be a gift card, a quilting book, fabrics, sewing notions or a pattern—but it will be quilting related (does chocolate count???). Trust me when I say it will be worth the trouble! Now for the real fun! In order for you to get your FQ's to me early, this drawing will be held at different times of the month. On the first day of each month, Mom will pick a random date from a hat and all the players with FQ's in house (in transit doesn't count!) will have a ticket (and any bonus tickets you have earned) put into a hat and a winner drawn. So, if Mom picks out the 15th, the winner will be drawn after the mail is delivered on the 15th!) This is an added incentive for you to ship your FQ's in early. So, if you snooze, you lose! Once the winner is drawn, their name will be posted on the boards along with a picture of their prize and mailed out to the winner at my expense. In December, we will have our annual large prize drawing for a $50 JA gift card and some other special events sprinkled throughout the year (still working on some details!). **SECOND twist**-It wouldn't be fair for me to play, but some of your fabrics are just too yummy for me to resist! So, if I can't live without it, it will go into my stash and I will replace it with a different print. And you will WIN too! You'll get an extra bonus slip for the twist AND an extra slip for the FQ lottery! Just remember I am a BIG lover of black and white and 30's repros, hint, hint! Note: If you win the monthly FQ lottery, you are still eligible for the "twist" drawing (and visa-versa). We will have three winners in November (see special notes in theme description for more information.) And yes, you can win all three! WOW!!! Again, and I cannot stress this enough, please contact me with any questions. In order to make this a smoothly run and fun-filled lottery, please follow all the rules and be fair to others. Lastly, if adding these "twists" do not get you excited to play and increase our participants, it will be my last year as hostess of this lottery. Remember, all these bonuses are coming out of my own pocket and I cannot fathom the costs if we cannot get more people to play. So, sign up your secret sister or quilting friend (and yes, you can enter a non-HGTV player as long as you are responsible the shipping of the FQ lottery winnings). So, ladies, get those engines running and start shopping! However, do want to thank those of you who have sent me goodies for the twister prize drawer. I really do appreciate it and I know the winners do too! Here are the basic rules for the FQ lottery fabrics, shipping information and themes: Use only good quality 100% cotton FQs are acceptable. No thinsies or lightly woven fabrics, please. Any fabrics not meeting the standards for quality will be returned back to you. And remember, NO SOLIDS-NO FLANNELS-NO GLITTER-NO HOMESPUN! **If you are sending in fabrics for a TOT (tone on tone) selection, this is described as a "tone of one shade of the same color on top of another." That is, a tone of red on red, blue on blue, etc. This doesn't mean any additional color or a print with an added color. If you question your fabric, please let me know before mailing it to me. A Fat Quarter (FQ) is 18 inches by half the Width of Fabric (from selvage to selvage), but must not be less than 20 inches nor more than 23 inches. Please be sure not to send in a short piece! Thank you! Each FQ entered that month must be a different fabric. Please, we prefer UNWASHED fabric. If the fabric is already washed, please place a sticky or pinned note on it so that the winner will know it's been washed. **The Lottery will have two separate collections subjects each month—one themed fabric and one color of tone on tone fabrics (except July). If you wish to enter only one, you can send from one to six (6) FQ's for that theme. If you want to send in for both themes, you can send in a total combination of up to six (6) FQ's from the two themes. There will be ONE winner per month for all the FQ's received! For each FQ sent, one slip of paper with your name will be put 'in the pot.' If you send six (6) FQ's, you will have six (6) chances to win that month. Send each month's FQ entries in one baggy with your name, address, and board name inside the baggie. You can send in more than one month's entries at a time. Just be sure to place each month's FQ's in separate bag and label it with the month and theme of the swap and quantity sent. FQ's must reach me before the last day of each featured month. In other words, December Lottery FQ's must be in my hands by the last day of December. Please notify me on this board or by PM or email when you mail your FQ's so I can watch for them. I will acknowledge receipt of your FQ's on this board and/or email. Photos of the month's entries will be added to the album so everyone can see what's going to be in the drawing. The month's albums URL will be posted on the FQ Lottery thread each month. If you have any questions regarding a questionable fabric, contact me before mailing it out. One name will be drawn the last day of each month. Winner will be announced later that day or on the following day, unless I am waiting for a delivery made late by the USPS. Under no circumstances will I wait longer than the 3rd of the following month. Save money and send in a group or all of your entries at once. You can then check off that project as "complete." **CHANGE** You do NOT have to play the minimum two months following a win. Postage reimbursement plus confirmation cost by the winner will be expected by check or money order shortly after the winning fabric is received by the winner. You don't have to enter every month. If you like the fabrics that month, feel free to enter. If you don't, skip it! Here are the June themes: June-"POP Goes the Color"—For all you lovers of BRIGHT prints, this one is for you! No solids. June-"Wearing of the Green"—All shades of green TOT (tone on tone) fabrics. No solids. And here are our players! *Aliquilt-2 *LisaTX-6 *Sister Sue-6 *Royalboomer-6 *Char77-6 *cksvett-6 *CBQ-6 *Gonesewin-4 *Fleur55-6 *Wiley-2This message has been edited. Last edited by: KC1930, | |||

Ok, It's in the mail. | ||||
Thanks, Wiley! | ||||
Ajne and Wiley, no sign of your packages as of today... | ||||
I was pulling out all the June FQ's I have so far in anticipation of the upcoming drawing and fell in love with several pieces! So, hi-ho, hi-ho, it was off to my fabric closets I go to find replacements for the FQ's I took. This is the best perk of being the hostess! As many of your know, I'm a great lover of the green color(especially lime! ) and the following players have a toothy grin next to their names for an extra bonus in the drawing! Fleur55-1 LisaTX-2 Char77-2 Aliquilt-1 Sister Sue-1 CBQ-1 Oh, what fun! | ||||

Wiley, you package arrived today and the photo is posted. Ajne, how did you mail your package? | ||||
Hi- mailed usps picked up by postman. Sorry seems lost in route. I must remember to mail earlier next month. | ||||
We have a few more days before the swap, so I'll sit tight! | ||||
Ajne, nothing in the mail today..??? | ||||
Ajne, your package has been in transit for over two weeks, so we can safely assume it is lost. I'll wait until tomorrow's mail just to be sure and then draw the lottery and twister winners. | ||||
KC- I know you love lime green and so do I. Just bought some bright lime green batik during the batik sale. Sure do love it. So thanks for the extra grin. Wonder who will be the big winner?? Have a good Forth. Sue | ||||
Thanks Sue, right back at ya! I'll be working the evening of the 4th, but LLB will supply me with an award winning firework display next door on the river (our offices are on the Androscoggin Falls). They allow our families to sit on the 4th floor of the parking garage with a stellar view of the show. And yours truly is in charge of the potluck for the workers. So, between 6-11:30, give me a call and place an order! | ||||
KC- Lucky you- a beautiful view of the fireworks and pot luck too. So sorry you have to work,but I bet that your family will enjoy the view. LOL. Sue | ||||
The mail should be delivered early today (our mail lady has changed her route of delivery), so one last chance for Ajne! Otherwise, my nephew Will is at the ready to draw our winners! Stand by, ladies! | ||||
OOOOH! I'm waiting on pins and needles. Happy happy happy!!! Sew, sew, and sew some more that's my motto! | ||||
Sorry ladies! My aunt was moved to a new facility today and I got rangled into doing some extra work that took longer than I expected. I'm just home now and after I post this I'm going to have some supper! So, the family is off to the ocean for four days, and Katie the wonder poodle can't pull the winner, so it's up to me. Let's draw the FQ winner first! | ||||
And the winner of the FQ lottery for June is... ****Aliquilt*** Congratulations! | ||||
And now the winner of the June twister is... ***cksvett*** Lots of goodies coming your way! | ||||

No Motive Yet In Connecticut School Shooting
Newtown police say all victims' families have been notified and that officials are not yet releasing the names of the gunman or children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Newtown, Conn., residents reeling from the massacre of 26 people, including 20 children, at an elementary school on Friday are searching for answers about the gunman's motive.
Police have said that they are "working backwards" to piece together the "why" behind the mass shooting in this town of about 27,000 about 60 miles northeast of New York City. A 12 p.m. Saturday prayer service is scheduled for St. John's Episcopal Church in Sandy Hook, a section of Newtown.
Newtown Police Lt. George Sinko, the department's public information officer, told Patch Saturday morning that investigators have no sense of what prompted the gunman to act.
"There is no sense of motive at this time," Sinko said.
Though Connecticut State Police have declined to identify the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter, he is being widely identified as 20-year-old Adam Lanza. According to NBC News, three weapons used in the shootings—two 9 mm handguns and a rifle—were legally purchased and registered to Lanza's mother, a teacher at the school whom police say was found dead at her Sandy Hook home.
Parents of schoolchildren at the scene Friday told Patch that the school was locked and that all visitors needed to be buzzed in. Sinko said Saturday that the gunman appeared to have blasted his way inside.
Police radio dispatches aired by CNN reveal harrowing early communications to emergency responders who arrived at the elementary school around 9:40 a.m. Friday.
"Caller is indicating she thinks that someone is shooting in the building," a dispatcher says. "The front glass has been broken."
And later: "All units, the individual that I have on the phone is continuing to hear what he believes to be gunfire. Units are responding to Sandy Hook school as this time. The shooting appears to have stopped. The school is in lockdown."
According to Sinko, the gunman may have shot out glass next to the front door of the school.
"We say that because the window next to the door was shattered. We are still investigating," Sinko said.
Sinko said investigators are sorting through a "tremendous amount of evidence."
Much of the investigators' work involves checking motor vehicles, Sinko said.

Motive? Feeling homicidal and suicidal due to mental illness and thanks to the easy access to guns at home, impulses quickly and easily became reality.
I am less shocked by his behavior and more shocked by the mom who has 3 guns (!) to which her mentally ill kid has access to!
8:47 pm on Saturday, December 15, 2012
Absolutely correct, Brer. The irresponsible mother is as much to blame here having had those kinds of weapons in the home.
Suzanne Troya
10:06 pm on Saturday, December 15, 2012
Yes, I agree with both your comments. I just don't understand the logic behind purchasing a gun with an adult son living at home, who is not in clear mind. It's just not logical.
7:54 am on Sunday, December 16, 2012
I'm agree with all of you on this. As a firearms owner I would never..never have any firearms in the home if I lived with someone who is not of clear mind. Secondly, why did he have access to them? The mother is as responsible for, if not more responsible than the shooter. I don't think stricter gun laws will do anything in this sort of case. There is just no way of injecting common sense into some people's brains. I will bet she even took him the the range and showed him how to shoot.
Suzanne Troya
10:18 am on Sunday, December 16, 2012
I have a bad gut feeling. Yes, there are reports that she did take to her son to ranges, and that she was very verbal about her lengthy divorce. She reportedly told some that she stopped working to be full time with him. I don't want to speculate, or make a false accusations. But I'm more curious into the mother's mind right now than the son's.

Gun control may not prevent this case or others like it, but it highlights the fact that there are more than 80 gun murders per day in the US, many, many of which are preventable with better gun control.
12:41 pm on Sunday, December 16, 2012
I think better gun control is in order. I am not exactly sure what Japan is doing but reportedly they have a very strict gun control system and much less gun related harms, probably to the dismay of those who spew things like guns don't kill people. The mom reportedly became fascinated with guns after her divorce and per her relative, it was for "protection". But how many guns does one need to serve the purpose of "protection"? Ironically, she has a case of guns and yet she ended up shot in the face and not by an intruder.
The gunman went to a gun shop to buy guns 3 days prior and was rejected. Looking at his sorry look in that picture, I doubt he could manage to buy illegal guns off the street. He probably would get robbed instead. If the mom does not have the stash of guns at home and if it is difficult for him to buy illegal guns let alone rifles off the street, it is more likely than not if he is to do some physical harm to others, it will not be to this extent. Here he is absolutely shooting up targets as if he were playing those video games that rack up sales to the billions yearly...
Think for a second of your top 5 most evil guys in the human history. To me he is right up there, mental illness or not. Multiple shots into 6-7 yos again and again takes the top prize in evilness.
George Walsh
1:00 pm on Sunday, December 16, 2012
Japan starts from the premise that gun ownership is illegal. Japan allows ownership only of a shotgun or an air rifle, and then only with registration, mandatory traing before acquisition of the weapon. I know that will not fly in the US where gun ownership is considered oddly patriotic. However, there can be better control of guns with registration, training and monitoring.
This perpertrator essentially "stole" the guns from his mother supposedly. Proper storage under combination lock may have deter his theft but in the end there is no way to prevent all gun violence as long as guns are owned by such a large portion of the US population.
1:31 pm on Sunday, December 16, 2012
Thanks George for the info. I agree with the proper storage under lock suggestion but that pokes a hole in the rhetoric that owning a gun serves to protect the owners from intruders. If I were an intruder, I would not knock on the front door and alert the gun owner to get ready before we play out a fair fight.
George Walsh
4:30 pm on Sunday, December 16, 2012
It is a myth that gun ownership protects the owner from an intruder. That is one of the myth promoted by the pro-gun element, along with the myth that to prevent such violent acts more people need to be carrying weapons with them so the shooter can be "taken down" by an armed bystander. Rubbish. In the late 1800's US most people had weapons and the murder rate was ridiculously high. Just think of the portrayals of the "wild west" when gun ownership was near 100%. Register guns like automobiles and track their ownership and transfer the same way. It's a start.
12:14 am on Friday, December 21, 2012
The murder rate has halved each century for the last three with little correlation with gun ownership or the number of guns. I suspect it has a lot more to do with the rule of law, equal treatment under the law and a gradual rise in overall prosperity.
My question is why were the teachers and authorities powerless to defend the children? How about replacing a 6 figure janitor with a semi-retired police officer?

Deciphering Photography Contracts
Here I explain the important parts of photography contracts. It includes some food for thought when approaching commercial photographers. It's broken down into four sections; Images, Fees, the Shoot and Liability.
- Image Supply - Most contracts cover the format your images will be supplied in and how they'll be delivered to you. This information is drawn from the brief where you discuss with me what you'll be using the images for.
- Copyright - This section outlines how, where, when and for how long you can use the images for. See here for an explanation of copyright or visit the Australian Commercial and Media Photographer's website for their take.
Copyright also outlines who else you can and cannot provide images to. For example to newspapers for editorial content is usually fine but submission to a magazine or passing the images on to your suppliers is generally not.
If you do not want the photographer to use the images to promote their business until after your campaign or product is released this information should also be included. In this case you would ask for exclusive rights for a set period of time or indefinitely.
- Deposit - Often photographers will ask for a deposit if you are a new client, if the job has significant pre-production costs (building a set for example) or if the job is particularly large. It will also spell out if the deposit is non-refundable or transferrable.
- Shooting Fees - What's covered in the quote and what's not are discussed here. Often things like preparation, shooting, basic post production, assistant's fees, travel, and equipment rental charges are included in the quote. Things that may result in additional costs later could be parking or car hire.
- Rescheduling the Job - What happens if it rains, your people are sick, there's a strike, you can't get access to the location on the agreed date, or you need to reschedule? Things can go wrong so make sure you're aware of any cancelation or rescheduling policies. I'm very flexible with rescheduling because I know weather, illness, site restrictions, and safety factors can sometimes get in the way of a good shoot.
The Shoot Itself
- Client Approval - Some photographers (like me) prefer to shoot with a client representative on site, others don't. Find out. This is important because what happens if you don't like the images provided, if something is wrong, misrepresented, not shot in the style you want, or you're simply unhappy? What right of recourse or reshoot do you have and what will be the charges?
- Cooperation and Availability - Whose responsibility is it if staff doesn't turn up or if the location cannot be used? Will there be any fees if the photographer has to reschedule? Most photographers work on the basis that if you're providing the staff or the location then it's your responsibility to manage the relationships and access. The photographer will use every ounce of charm they have to persuade people to be cooperative and will make compromises where possible. But we can only sometimes work miracles.
- Liability includes a discussion about what happens if the photographer cannot perform the shoot for some reason. Liability also raises the issue of model releases. Every person who appears in an image must sign a release giving the photographer and client permission to use the image in agreed ways. If this is not signed the image cannot be used by either party.
The Summary
This is a good guide to what you'll find in a general contract. If your organisation has standard photography contracts (like many Government organisations do) you should tell the photographer this at the outset as this may affect the quote given.
What's Next?
- Here's some info to help you choose a photographer, getting a quote, or getting a brief
- Here's some info to help you decipher copyright
- Here are my contact details if you need some help clarifying your current photography contract
