Dietary Guidelines for Americans provide science-based
advice to promote health and to reduce risk for major chronic
diseases through diet and physical activity. By law (Public
Law 101-445, Section 301), the Secretaries of the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Agriculture
(USDA) issue a report at least every 5 years that "shall contain
nutritional and dietary information and guidelines for the
general public." Every 5 years, an expert Dietary Guidelines
Advisory Committee is appointed to make recommendations to
the Secretaries concerning revision of Dietary Guidelines
for Americans. The recommendations are to be targeted
to the general public age 2 years and older and based on the
preponderance of scientific and medical knowledge that is
current at the time of publication of the Committee's report.
Because of its focus on health promotion and risk reduction,
Dietary Guidelines form the basis of Federal food,
nutrition education, and information programs. By law, the
Dietary Guidelines is to be "promoted by each Federal
agency in carrying out any Federal food, nutrition, or health
program." This means that the Dietary Guidelines
must be applied in menu planning in programs such as the National
School Lunch Program; in educational materials used by the
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants,
and Children (WIC) and by many other Federal programs; and
in setting the Healthy People objectives for the Nation. Using
Dietary Guidelines helps policymakers, educators,
clinicians, and others to speak with one voice on nutrition
and health.
This report presents the recommendations of the 2005 Dietary
Guidelines Advisory Committee to the Secretaries of HHS and
USDA. It represents a milestone in documenting the scientific
base used to develop the recommendations. The Committee used
a fresh approach rather than simply considering how the year
2000 Dietary Guidelines should be changed. Committee
members posed a large number of questions. Questions were
prioritized, and an extensive search of the scientific literature
was done. Available time, expertise, and resources precluded
an examination of all issues relating diet and physical activity
to health promotion and chronic disease prevention.
Working through subcommittees, the Committee critically reviewed
relevant scientific evidence, requested special analyses relating
to nutrients and dietary patterns, obtained useful information
and insights from invited experts and from public oral and
written testimony, and deliberated its findings. Since the
general public now comprises large numbers of individuals
with chronic health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure,
and abnormal blood lipid values, as well as a large elderly
population, the Committee addressed a few topics that may
go beyond the dietary concerns of persons who meet strict
definitions for good health. This report presents findings,
conclusions, and recommendations from the entire Committee.
Appendices and other materials posted at www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines
provide additional details about the evidence used by the
The topics that the Committee addressed in depth included
meeting recommended nutrient intakes; physical activity; energy
balance; relationships of fats, carbohydrates, selected food
groups, and alcohol with health; and consumer aspects of food
safety. The Committee was especially interested in finding
strong scientific support for dietary and physical activity
measures that could reduce the Nation's major diet-related
health problems—overweight and obesity, hypertension, abnormal
blood lipids, diabetes, coronary heart disease (CHD), certain
types of cancer, and osteoporosis. They developed the concept
of discretionary calories in connection with calorie and weight
control; discretionary calories are those calories remaining
within a person's caloric allowance after all nutrient recommendations
are met. The Committee also focused on the potential health
benefits and serious health risks of alcohol intake. Because
food can promote health only if it is safe to eat and because
foodborne illness affects more than 76 million Americans each
year, food safety must undergird all dietary guidance.
Back to Top
The Committee's extensive review of the evidence and deliberations
led to the development of a set of nine key messages. These
messages should be useful to nutrition-related program providers,
healthcare providers, and educators, as well as to those charged
with the responsibility to produce the publication Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, 2005 Edition. Part D of the
report provides the scientific basis for the nine key messages.
Part E provides specific recommendations for the content of
the main messages and supporting details without specifying
wording that would be suitable for consumers.
The Committee's findings support the development of Dietary
Guidelines that convey the following nine major messages:
Consume a variety of foods within and among the basic
food groups while staying within energy needs.
Control calorie intake to manage body weight.
Be physically active every day.
Increase daily intake of fruits and vegetables, whole
grains, and nonfat or low-fat milk and milk products.
Choose fats wisely for good health.
Choose carbohydrates wisely for good health.
Choose and prepare foods with little salt.
If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.
Keep food safe to eat.
This list makes a major departure from previous editions
of Dietary Guidelines for Americans in that it does
not include a message specifically directed toward sugars.
This does not mean that the current Committee views the topic
of sugars to be unimportant. On the contrary, the Committee
provides a strong rationale for limiting one's intake of added
sugars (that is, sugars and syrups that are added to foods
during processing or preparation or at the table). The Committee's
intent is to make this point clearly under the new topic "Choose
Carbohydrates Wisely for Good Health" and also under the first
and second topics, which address energy needs and controlling
calorie intake, respectively.
A synopsis of the Committee's recommendations regarding content
to be included under each of the nine main messages follows.
Because the recommendations for nutrient intakes from the
Institute of Medicine now consider the prevention of chronic
disease as well as basic nutrient needs, meeting those recommendations
provides a firm foundation for current health and for reducing
chronic disease risk. Thus, meeting recommended nutrient intakes
while staying within energy needs is a basic premise of dietary
guidance. For most nutrients, intakes by Americans appear
adequate. However, efforts are warranted to promote increased
dietary intakes of vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, potassium,
and fiber by children and adults and to promote increased
dietary intakes of vitamins A and C by adults.
Choosing a variety of foods from within each of the basic
food groups helps achieve recommended nutrient intakes, but
attention to maintaining appropriate energy balance also is
important. This means limiting calorie intake, especially
from added sugars, solid fats, and alcoholic beverages—sources
of calories that are very poor sources of essential nutrients.
Use of the revised USDA food intake pattern included in the
report is one method to plan diets that meet recommended nutrient
intakes considering age, gender, and physical activity level.
This food pattern specifies recommended numbers of servings
from the five food groups and from food subgroups. The foods
in these groups are good sources of nutrients relative to
the calories that they provide. The pattern allows a wide
choice of foods within each food group and subgroup, and this
report suggests ways to make substitutions across some of
the food groups as well. Also included in this report are
food lists of the best sources of nutrients that tend to be
in short supply in the diets of Americans. These lists provide
a useful way for consumers to choose foods they like to boost
their intake of the nutrient; and they may be especially helpful
for meeting recommended intakes of vitamin E, potassium, and
fiber. Rather than simply adding nutrient-rich foods to one's
diet, substituting nutrient rich foods for nutrient poor foods
helps control calorie intake.
Special nutrient recommendations are warranted for a few
large subgroups of the population as follows:
Adolescent female and women of childbearing age need
extra iron and folic acid.
Persons over age 50 benefit from taking vitamin B12 in
its crystalline form from foods fortified with this vitamin
or from supplements that contain vitamin B12.
The elderly, persons with dark skin, and persons exposed
to little UVB radiation may need extra vitamin D from
vitamin D-fortified foods and/or supplements that contain
vitamin D.
Calorie intake and physical activity go hand in hand in controlling
a person's weight. Caloric intake is emphasized under this
message, physical activity under the next one.
To stem the obesity epidemic, most Americans need to reduce
the amount of calories they consume. When it comes to weight
control, calories do count—not the proportions of
carbohydrate, fat, and protein in the diet. Energy expended
must equal energy consumed to stay at the same weight. A deficit
could be achieved by eating less, being more active physically,
or combining the two. Since many adults gain weight slowly
over time, even a small calorie deficit can help avoid weight
gain. For example, a calorie deficit of 50 to 100 calories
per day would enable many adults to maintain their weight
rather than continuing to gain weight each year. For children
who are gaining excess fat, a similar small decrease in energy
intake can reduce the rate at which they gain weight so as
they age they will grow into a healthy weight. Small changes
maintained over time can make a big difference in body weight.
Monitoring weight regularly helps people know if they need
to adjust their food intake or amount of physical activity
to maintain their weight. Limiting the portion sizes that
a person takes or serves to others often helps reduce calorie
intake, especially if the food is high in energy density.
On the other hand, consuming large portions of raw vegetables
or low-fat soups may help limit one's intake of other foods
that are more energy dense. The healthiest way to reduce calorie
intake is to reduce one's intake of added sugars, solid fats,
and alcohol—they all provide calories, but they do not provide
essential nutrients.
Making moderate physical activity a part of an adult's daily
routine for at least 30 minutes per day promotes fitness and
reduces the risk of chronic health conditions such as obesity,
hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease. (Walking
at a brisk pace [3 to 4 miles per hour] is an example of a
moderate physical activity.) Moderate physical activity for
an hour each day can increase energy expenditure by about
150 to 200 calories, depending on body size. If not offset
by increased calorie intake, this increase in physical activity
could be helpful in preventing weight gain. Many adults need
to participate in up to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous
physical activity on most days to prevent unhealthy weight
gain, while adults who have previously lost weight may need
60 to 90 minutes of moderate physical activity daily to help
avoid regain of weight. Children and adolescents need at least
60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on most
days for the maintenance of good health and fitness and for
healthy weight gain during growth. Compared with moderate
physical activity, vigorous physical activity provides greater
benefits for physical fitness and burns more calories per
unit time. Part D, Section 2, "Energy," addresses health benefits
of additional types of physical activity.
Keeping intake of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol
very low can help keep low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol
low and reduce the risk of CHD. The main goals are to keep
saturated fat intake below 10 percent of calories, trans
fat intake below about 1 percent of calories, and cholesterol
intake below 300 mg per day. Keeping saturated fat below 10
percent of calories should be the main focus, because this
is the predominant fat that adversely affects blood lipid
values. However, the lower the combined intake of saturated
and trans fat and the lower the dietary cholesterol
intake, the greater the cardiovascular benefit will be.
The major way to keep saturated fat low is to limit one's
intake of animal fats (such as those in cheese, milk, butter,
ice cream, and other full-fat dairy products; fatty meat;
bacon and sausage; and poultry skin and fat). The major way
to limit trans fat intake is to limit the intake
of foods made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
To limit dietary intake of cholesterol, one needs to limit
the intake of eggs and organ meats especially, as well as
limit the intake of meat, shellfish, and poultry and dairy
products that contain fat.
A reduced risk of both sudden death and CHD death in adults
is associated with the consumption of two servings (approximately
eight ounces) per week of fish high in the n-3 fatty acids
called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA). To benefit from the potential cardioprotective effects
of EPA and DHA, the weekly consumption of two servings of
fish, particularly fish rich in EPA and DHA, is suggested.
However, it is advisable for pregnant women, lactating women,
and children to avoid eating fish with a high mercury content
and to limit their consumption of fish with a moderate mercury
content. Consulting current consumer advisories helps one
know which species of fish to limit or avoid in order to reduce
exposure to environmental contaminants.
Total fat intake of 20 to 35 percent of calories is recommended
for all Americans age 18 years or older. Intakes of fat outside
of this range are not recommended for most Americans because
of potential adverse effects on achieving recommended nutrient
intakes and on risk factors for chronic diseases. The lower limit of fat intake is higher for children: 30 percent of
calories from fat for children age 2 and 3 years, and 25 percent
of calories from fat for those age 4 to 18 years. Part D,
Section 4, includes conclusions relating to n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated
fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids in addition to
the fats listed here.
Carbohydrates—the sugars, starches, and fibers found in fruits,
vegetables, grains, and milk products—are an important part
of a healthful diet and the major energy source in most diets.
Sugars and starches supply energy to the body in the form
of glucose, which is the only energy source for the red blood
cell and the preferred energy source for the brain, central
nervous system, placenta, and fetus, and for muscle cells
when they are operating anaerobically (without oxygen). Diets
rich in dietary fiber help promote healthy laxation and help
reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.
When selecting foods from the fruit, vegetable, and grains
groups, it is beneficial to make fiber-rich choices often.
This means, for example, choosing whole fruits rather than
juices and whole grains rather than refined grains. Current
evidence suggests that there is no relationship between total
carbohydrate intake (minus fiber) and the incidence of either
type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Following guidance to increase one's intake of fruits, vegetables,
whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat milk or milk products
is a healthful way to obtain the recommended amounts of carbohydrate.
Compared with individuals who consume small amounts of foods
and beverages that are high in added sugars, those who consume
large amounts tend to consume more calories but smaller amounts
of vitamins and minerals. Although more research is needed,
prospective studies suggest a positive association between
the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and weight gain.
A reduced intake of added sugars (especially sugar-sweetened
beverages) may be helpful in achieving the recommended intakes
of nutrients and in weight control.
Sugars and starches supply substrate for bacterial fermentation
in the mouth, and acids produced can cause tooth demineralization
resulting in dental caries. However, drinking fluoridated
water and/or using fluoride-containing dental hygiene products
helps reduce the risk of dental caries. A combined approach
is helpful for reducing caries incidence: reducing the frequency
of consuming sugars and starches (e.g., limiting snacking
on foods that contain these carbohydrates), limiting the length
of time the teeth are exposed to fermentable carbohydrates,
and optimizing oral hygiene practices.
Adults who
increase their fruit and vegetable consumption to meet recommended
nutrient intakes will also be consuming amounts of fruits
and vegetables that are associated with a decreased risk of
such chronic diseases as stroke, perhaps other cardiovascular
diseases, type 2 diabetes, and cancer in certain sites. Moreover,
increased consumption of fruits and vegetables may be a useful
component of programs designed to achieve and sustain weight
The suggested range of intake is 2½ to 6½ cups1
of fruits and vegetables daily, depending on calorie needs.
For persons needing 2,000 calories per day to maintain their
weight, the goal is 4½ cups (or the equivalent) of
fruits and vegetables per day. Consuming a variety of fruits
and vegetables daily is recommended—choosing among citrus
fruits, melons, and berries; other fruits; dark green leafy
vegetables; bright orange vegetables; legumes; starchy vegetables;
and other vegetables.
Whole grains are high in starch, and they are important sources
of 14 nutrients including fiber. Diets rich in whole grains
can reduce the risk of CHD and type 2 diabetes and help with
weight control. Important sources of whole grains include
whole wheat, oatmeal, popcorn, bulgur, and brown rice. Whole
wheat bread is an example of a whole-grain food. The goal
is to eat at least three 1-ounce equivalents per day of whole-grain
foods, preferably in place of refined grains.
goal for persons with energy requirements greater than 1,600
calories per day is 3 cups or the equivalent of milk products
per day, preferably nonfat or low-fat products such as skim
milk and yogurt. Milk products that are consumed in their
nonfat or low-fat forms provide no or little solid fat and
are very nutrient dense. When considering alternatives to
milk, the most reliable way to derive the health benefits
associated with milk products is to choose alternatives within
the dairy food group such as lactose-free milk or yogurt.
Reducing salt (sodium chloride) intake is one of several
ways that people can lower their blood pressure. Reducing
blood pressure, ideally to the normal range, reduces the chance
of developing a stroke, heart disease, heart failure, and
kidney disease. The relationship between salt intake and blood
pressure is direct and progressive without an apparent threshold.
On average, the higher a person's salt intake, the higher
is his or her blood pressure. Thus, reducing salt intake as
much as possible is one way to lower blood pressure. Another
dietary measure to lower blood pressure is to consume a diet
rich in potassium. A potassium-rich diet also blunts the effects
of salt on blood pressure, may reduce the risk of developing
kidney stones, and possibly decrease bone loss with age.
The vast majority of the U.S. population consumes too much
salt, much of it from processed foods. The goal is to consume
less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. The goal is expressed
in terms of sodium rather than salt because the Nutrition
Facts Labels on food products list sodium content. Many people—especially
persons with hypertension, blacks, and older adults—will benefit
from working toward a goal of an even lower sodium intake.
Reducing salt intake requires careful attention to food selection
when shopping or when eating outside the home, and also during
food preparation at home. The Nutrition Facts Label on food
packages can help consumers compare and identify prepared
foods that are lower in sodium.
Fruits, vegetables, and most milk products are widely available
in forms that contain no added salt, and most of them are
important sources of potassium. Increasing one's intake of
foods rich in potassium helps lower blood pressure. In addition,
many of these potassium-rich foods enhance the taste of other
foods that contain no added salt.
Among middle-aged and older adults, the lowest all-cause
mortality occurs at the level of one to two drinks per day.
The mortality reduction is likely due to the protective effects
of moderate alcohol consumption on coronary heart disease,
primarily among males older than age 45 years and women older
than age 55 years. Among younger people, alcohol consumption
appears to provide little, if any, health benefit. Alcohol
use among young adults is associated with an increased risk
of traumatic injury and death. Heavy drinking is very hazardous,
contributing to automobile injuries and deaths, assault, liver
disease, and other health problems. Abstention is an important
The goal for adults who choose to drink is to do so in moderation.
Moderation is defined as the consumption of up to one drink
per day for women and two drinks per day for men. One drink
is defined as 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine
(12 percent alcohol), or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled
Among the people who should not consume alcoholic beverages
are those who cannot restrict their drinking to moderate levels,
children and adolescents, and individuals taking medications
that can interact with alcohol or who have specific medical
conditions. Drinking alcoholic beverages should be avoided
by women who may become pregnant or who are pregnant, by breastfeeding
women, and by persons who plan to drive or take part in other
activities that require attention, skill, or coordination.
Foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses,
325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States
each year. Three pathogens (Salmonella, Listeria,
and Toxoplasma) are responsible for more than 75
percent of these deaths. Actions by consumers can reduce the
occurrence of foodborne illness substantially. The behaviors
in the home that are most likely to prevent a problem with
foodborne illnesses are
Cleaning hands, contact surfaces, and fruits and vegetables
(This does not apply to meat and poultry, which should
not be washed.)
Separating raw, cooked, and ready-to-eat foods while
shopping, preparing, or storing
Cooking foods to a safe temperature
Chilling (refrigerating) perishable foods promptly
Avoiding higher-risk foods (e.g., deli meats and frankfurters
that have not been reheated to a safe temperature [may
contain Listeria]). This is especially important
for high-risk groups (the very young, pregnant women,
the elderly, and those who are immunocompromised).
Making any one of the recommended changes in diet, decreasing
calorie intake, or increasing physical activity may improve
health and reduce one or more health risks. However, the greatest
benefits can be anticipated if one tries to heed all nine
of the major recommendations. It is well recognized that multiple
dietary factors and physical activity influence the risk of
chronic diseases and that no one factor accounts for any of
the chronic diseases.
The food pattern developed by the USDA and included in this
report integrates most of the recommendations made by the
Committee. This food pattern
Is high in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat
or low-fat milk products
Provides amounts of nutrients (including potassium and
fiber) that are consistent with recommended nutrient intakes
and with reducing the risk of chronic disease
Is low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and added sugars
and can be low in trans fat2
and sodium3
A diet that is consistent with the diet-related recommendations
in this report—the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
(DASH diet)—has been demonstrated to have health benefits,
including reducing blood pressure and LDL cholesterol. The
DASH diet provides nutrients in recommended amounts and is
very close to the revised USDA food intake pattern in the
nutrients it provides. Thus, the finding that the DASH diet
provides health benefits lends support to the combination
of diet-related recommendations in this report.
Adding at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity
into one's daily routine would increase the calorie requirement
by a small amount, allowing somewhat more leeway in the amount
of food that could be consumed without gaining weight. Increasing
physical activity would contribute to a lowering of chronic
disease risk as well. Moderation in alcohol consumption, if
used, also would reduce health risks. And taking measures
to keep food safe to eat would reduce the risk of foodborne
Health disparities are substantial among racial and ethnic
minorities and among the economically disadvantaged. Available
evidence suggests that certain dietary changes are a means
to reduce these disparities. Social changes and educational
efforts are required to facilitate healthy diets and lifestyles
among these high-risk individuals.
In conducting the research on which this report is based,
the Committee was struck by the critical and likely predominant
role of the environment in determining whether or not individuals
consume excess calories, eat a healthful diet, and are physically
active. By environment we mean the constellation of cultural
forces, societal norms, family influences (e.g., mealtime
structure and parental feeding styles), changes in meal patterns,
and commercial advertising that potentially influence individual
behavior. Environmental influences tend to be beyond the control
of individuals. Examples include the large size of portions
served by many food establishments, lack of information on
calorie content at point of purchase, the high amount of sodium
in the food supply, the trans fatty acid content
of many ready-to-eat foods, the cost and availability of fruits
and vegetables, and opportunities for safe and enjoyable physical
activity. Thus, changes to the environment could make a substantial
difference in consumers' ability and willingness to follow
the guidance provided in this report.

trans fat intake is not evaluated in the USDA food
modeling method. However, limiting intake of solid fats as
specified in the food intake pattern would be expected to
help keep the intake of trans fats low.
care is needed in the selection of processed foods and of
foods consumed outside the home to keep sodium intake at or
below the recommended level of 2,300 mg.

They may have been surprised by his reaction. I was. He took the beanie they offered, put it on, and wore it during his entire presentation. No big deal, the leader of the Linux kernel wearing BSD colors. He defused what could have been a contentious moment.
NewsForge: I want to ask you a few uninformed questions about the similarities, differences, and synergy -- if any -- between the Linux kernel and the BSDs.
Torvalds: I really don't much like the comparisons. In many ways they aren't even valid, since "better" always ends up depending on "for what?" and "according to what criteria?".
NF: BSD is still considered by some to be more "technically correct" than the Linux kernel. Do you think the BSDs are better technically than the Linux kernel?
Torvalds: Linux has a much wider audience, in many ways. That ranges from supporting much wider hardware (both in the driver sense and in the architecture sense) to actual uses. The BSDs tend to be focused in specific areas, while I have always personally felt that any particular focus on any particular use is a bad thing.
Which one is "better"? To me, Linux is much better, since to me, the important thing for an OS is how well it performs under different patterns, be they embedded, server, or desktop, or just some totally crazy person in a basement trying something new.
But some people disagree with me, and like to limit their work to specific areas, and like the fact that developers have one cohesive goal, and don't care about anything else. Some people consider the Linux development model "too permissive," in other words -- they want the project to concentrate on X, where X is some random area that they care about.
Which mindset is right? Mine, of course. People who disagree with me are by definition crazy. (Until I change my mind, when they can suddenly become upstanding citizens. I'm flexible, and not black-and-white.)
NF: If the BSDs were better technically five years ago, has the playing field leveled since then?
Torvalds: I don't think they were better five years ago (see above), and I don't think the question really makes sense.
Are there areas where you could point to "X does Y better"? Oh, sure, that's inevitable. But exactly because Linux tries to be "good enough" for everybody, you'll find a lot of areas where Linux is better (often a lot better -- as in "it works"), and then you'll find a few narrow areas where one particular BSD version will be better.
To me, it's largely a mentality issue. I said "good enough," and that's really telling. The BSD people (and keep in mind that I'm obviously generalizing) are often perfectionists. They hone something specific for a long time, and then they frown on anything that doesn't meet their standards of perfection. The OpenBSD single-minded focus on security is a good example.
In contrast, one of my favorite mantras is "perfect is the enemy of good," and the idea is that "good enough" is actually a lot more flexible than some idealized perfection. The world simply isn't black-and-white, and I recognize a lot of grayness. I often find black-and-white people a bit stupid, truth be told.
NF: Is sharing between BSD and the Linux kernel a common occurrence? And if so, does it go both ways?
Torvalds: It's quite rare on the kernel level. It happens occasionally, mainly in drivers, and sometimes on the "idea" level (don't get me wrong -- it's not an acrimonious setting, and people do talk about things). But the fact is, it's usually more effort to share things and try to synchronize and agree on them than it is to have independent projects.
On a user level, there's obviously tons of sharing, since there you don't have the communication issues, and user projects tend to be pretty independent of each other (and the kernel) anyway.
NF: Are there parts of BSD today that you would like to see adopted in the kernel?
Torvalds: I certainly don't have any specifics, but that's not saying that I'd be against it. It just means that I don't know anything about BSD technical internals, so I'm the wrong person to ask. Ask somebody who uses both.
Note: Tune in Wednesday for the views of BSD leaders as they answer the same questions posed to Linus.

The Skill Scale
I used my gorgeous Cath Kidston fabrics from my birthday and did a very simple 3½" square patchwork which has worked really well and I love it.
I've backed it with a Greengate tea towel that I bought at a Country Living show a couple of years ago so I could use the fabric for something - I never had any intention of drying dishes with it! ;o)
Daisy has been really funny because when we first got our very grown up, brown leather sofas she was totally horrified that I was planning on making bright and happy CK cushions for them. "NORMAL" people don't have cushions like that on their sofas. Normal people have cushions that blend in. Did you know that? Now when have I every tried to be normal??? I had to explain to Daisy that banning bright patchy cushions from the sitting room and making it "grown up" would be like banning ME from the room. I'm afraid I'm never going to be subtle and stylish!
Anyway, when I brought the cushion in from the sewing room last night she agreed that it was lovely.
I hope she agrees when she sees the Granny square cushion I'm also making..................
Because I know she isn't going to approve of our plans to build a whole wall of bookshelves in the sitting room like these above Dot's bed in their new shared bedroom.
Especially (according to her) as they will be opposite the window of all things! NORMAL people don't have walls of books. And passers-by are going to be able to SEE them! How horrific! ;o) She does make me laugh and I totally love her for her sense of style even if it is the opposite of mine (and secretly I think she is probably right some of the time).
Anyway, I'm digressing......
The title of this post is "the skill scale" because I wanted to contrast my lovely but very simple patchwork cushion above with this amazing tumbling blocks quilt top that is going up for auction next week at our local auction galleries.
It has been completely hand pieced using old clothing and still has all the paper templates in the back with lovely copper-plate handwriting from letters, lists, bills etc.
It's HUGE and really impressive so I hope it sells well as it deserves to be appreciated by someone who may even be able to finish it.
I know that whatever skills I have now or learn in the future, I will never hand-sew something of that size and technique because it really must have taken years to do and I know I'll never be that patient or dedicated!
Right! I'm off to make some more simple patchy cushions.........

I have a wall full of books in my bedroom, hope the window cleaner isn't traumatised!
New sofa looks very smart, we got a new one last year but I rather miss the squishy old one.

i love your cushion, its gorgeous and right up my street! as for books, we have two walls of them and i wouldn't have it any other way!!!

I think that is a smashing cushion and you just tell Daisy ALL the best people have bookshelves they entire way across the walls.

I think those 'grown up' sofas will make the perfect backdrop for cushions which shout 'Locket!' Love those bookcases - I'd have them in every room if I could. x

I'd love to have bookshelves like that all over the livingroom! Unfortunately hubby doesn't agree...he doesn't see the sense in books at all...but I have a full wall in my sewingroom, and it's bursting with books!
Great sofa, and great cushion, and that quilt is amazing!

Gorgeous cushion, Locket and far better than any silly blending-in cushions. Anyone can have those and who wants to be just anyone?
I love a house with books. In fact, nothing disturbs me more than a house without books!
That auction quilt is fantastic. Not sure I'd ever have the patience for something so huge and intricate.

I love the cushion!
And please tell Daisy that we have demolished half our house to have a whole wall for books!
And normal is waaaaaay overrated ;)

I am in love with your wall-o-books. Totally besotted. I have wanted one for years, preferably like the Beast's library in the Disney cartoon version of 'Beauty and the Beast'. Yeah...
Plus, you'll need plenty of comfy cushions to prop yerself up whilst you read all those living room books. And the folks walking past who look in will think you're all smart and sophisticated. Hooray!

I think your cushion looks lovely on your new sofa - in fact, the more mismatching cushions the merrier as far as I'm concerned!
I seem to remember being mortally embarrassed by some of the things my parents did/said when I was young. Daisy would hate it here - we have a wall of books in one room, and when redecorating the lounge, we're going to build another wall of books - facing the street too - how embarrassing :o)

Wow! That quilt is gorgeous Lucy - I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see how much it goes for. You and Daisy are too funny. I LOVE a wall of books and it doesn't matter which lovely room they choose to live!

- dottycookie said...
I would LOVE a wall of books. Instead we have bookcases shoved everywhere there is a spare bit of wall space, and more books piled up all over the place.
And if your cushions aresn't popular (I think they're lovely) then she'd HATE my living room ;-)

Lucy your cushion is gorgeous. And the Green Gate backing is just like my tea towel that my family has used to wipe up things like, um... tea with. It's not so pretty any more.
Maybe you should bid at the auction, who knows, could be your lucky day and you could be the only one in the room that appreciates it, even if it's unfinished :)

I am so jealous of Dot's wall of books! If I did that I'd have to give up my wall of quilts, which my family finds embarrassing enough. LOL.

The gathering of
"Nuns in the West"
May 23-26, 2003 was hosted by Hsi lai Buddhist Temple in Hacienda Heights, CA... In monastic dialogue 'East' often refers to the inner life and 'West' to the outer life. What does it mean when Western nuns who have gone more contemplative and tending to their inner life and eastern nuns have come west and are now socially engaged? What can we learn from each other?
Can we bring the best from our traditions and be an example of the monastic way of life for the West?

In all fairness, all their eggs are not in one basket with TPM... and most of that stuff has sold fine... Too many carry forwards, but really we have not seen a disaster with logjams from the first TVC wave.
And TPM isn't done... More to come later in the year like the WM figures finding their way to vintage cards, etc. Unless they wisely cancel those. I doubt it, but they should consider it, if it's even possible to stop.
Collectors are tired of the current state of collecting. Driving around from store to store whether it be once or a couple of times a week with gas prices the way they are only to end up with nothing is agonizing. I honestly believe that if collectors were able to order case assortments as mentioned above online ordering fulfillment would go up in staggering numbers. Even if collectors got stuck with a figure they didnt want out of the case or half case I am betting it would be easy to unload the figure or they would just be forgiving and keep the unwanted figure.

MINGORA, Pakistan, Dec. 19 (UPI Next) --
Pakistani laws banning a centuries-old custom of giving girls away to settle a feud are still being ignored, leaving rural girls vulnerable to being handed over for life to their families' rivals, activists and legal experts say.
"It is extremely difficult to give an exact number as these cases are hardly reported," research anthropologist Simar Minallah, who has been lobbying for eradication of the practice, told UPI Next.
"However, in 2011 and 2012, around 200 cases were reported from different parts of Pakistan."
The custom -- known as "swara" in northwestern Pakistan, and as "vani," "sang chatty" and "ijaai" in other parts of the country -- effectively consigns the girls to lives of suffering at the hands of the family to which they are handed, Minallah said
The practice was first outlawed in 2005 in the Pakistan Penal Code. Two years ago, a new separate law to criminalize the practice went into force, the Prevention of Anti-Women Practices Act, which bars the giving away of a girl or woman to settle a dispute. Those found guilty face jail sentences of three to 10 years and a $4,600 fine. Under the 2005 law, the crime carried the same jail sentence but no fine.
The tradition dates back 400 years. Many elders and influential residents of Swat, in Pakistan's conservative northwest, support it.
Minallah, who has been involved in campaigns to eliminate the custom since 2003, said the girls who are given away end up bearing the punishment for their male relatives' actions.
"This tradition shows the patriarchal mindset of our society, where girls are used as commodities or tools to resolve disputes. Instead of paying blood money, people prefer to give away their girls in compensation," she said.
"It is the little girl who is punished for the rest of her life, disregarding both culture and religion."
One of the thousands of women whose lives have been ruined by the practice is Bihar Bibi, now 54.
As a girl, she was given away by her parents to a man 20 years her senior, in her home district of Upper Swat in the northern hills of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
She described her life as hell from the day she was given away.
"I suffered every moment of my life in torment, as I was not treated as a human being by my in-laws, nor by my husband," she said.
"There was not a single day in which I did not encounter verbal and physical violence from them."
Early swara practices were completely different than today's, Minallah said.
"The way it is being practiced today is not how it was practiced in the past. It used to be mostly symbolic. A girl would be sent to the enemy's family and would be returned the same day with a veil," she said.
She called for strict enforcement of anti-swara laws.
Tabbasum Bashir, an influential woman who made history by heading the first females-only tribal council, or "jirga," in Swat, vowed to lead street protests if the practice is not extinguished.
"The government should tell us clearly when the bleak tradition of swara will end in our area," Bashir told UPI Next.
"If no serious action is taken by authorities to eliminate the custom, we will come out on the streets and stage severe protests against the government.
"We want proper implementation of the law. We want law enforcement agencies to keep a vigilant eye on rural areas in order to stop the practice completely."
A senior Swat District official said the district government had directed all law enforcement agencies to be more vigilant.
"Whenever we come across any such case, we take prompt legal action against the violators and show no laxity," Swat Assistant Commissioner Farrukh Ateeq told UPI Next.
Since July, police have made arrests in seven swara cases across Swat, the Swat District police office said. The girls who had been pledged in marriage to family rivals, sometimes enemies, were ages 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10. Three had been betrothed to boys ages 8 to 15, police records showed.
Nadia Sher Khan, a member of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial Parliament, and a member of the ruling Tehreek-e-Insaf party, said implementation of the laws banning swara had been poor.
"Though we have a Women's Protection bill, which is enough for the protection of women, there is no effective implementation of the law," Khan told UPI Next.
The provincial government is setting up women's committees in every district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, she said.
"The women's committees will, in particular, monitor any practice of swara," she said.
"I appeal to the common public to inform law enforcement agencies as soon as a swara case occurs in their area."
Since 2011, 102 people have been arrested in swara cases, and 12 girls saved from swara marriage pacts, Swat District police office data indicates.
Minallah cited the need for changed attitudes if this tradition is to end.
"When religious leaders start condemning it in their Friday sermons, when local journalists play the role of the eyes and ears of the community, and when silence around such issues is challenged, only then will change come," she said.

Road trip: Snowshoeing in Beaver Creek
"So, how's the snowshoeing up here."
That's the first thing I asked the valet when we pulled into our Avon hotel last weekend. His answer — "It's better than the skiing" — was telling, coming from a local with a raccoon-eyes sunburn on his face.
The elevation at the base of Beaver Creek — a solid place from which to judge the quality of snowshoeing in late-March — is 8,100 feet. We gave it a try on Saturday — a nice, little walk from the base of the ski area up into the trees.

STARRUCCA - On Sunday night, volunteers and emergency personnel were assembled at the Northern Wayne Fire Company to search for a missing woman.
According the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), Honesdale, Susan Ward, 64, of Starrucca left her residence on King Hill Road July 19 at around 7:30 a.m. and did not return home.
PSP issued a release Monday afternoon stating that Ward had been located.
Wayne County Coroner Edward Howell confirmed Monday afternoon that a body was found off King Hill Road.
He added that an examination is scheduled for Tuesday morning and an official identification will be released after the procedure.
Duane Kerzic of Northeast Search and Rescue, said that despite the tragic ending there is a silver lining.
After placing a plea for volunteers late Sunday night, he said "over 60 people showed up" to continue the search Monday morning.
He called the response "an amazing effort by the local community."
Over the course of the search, emergency response teams included the Northern Wayne Fire Company, Thompson Hose Company, Amigo Search and Rescue, Pocono Search and Rescue, Eagle Valley Search and Rescue, Ledgewood Dive Team, PennDOT, Pleasant Mount Emergency Services, PSP, Hancock Fire Department and many community volunteers.
Kerzic also said the Northern Wayne Women's Axillary did "an outstanding job" during the course of the investigation.
"Bridget Evanitsky and the auxiliary did a wonderful job," he added.
Starrucca Mayor Mary Ann DeBalko also extended thanks to the many who responded to help find Ward.
"I need to thank each and every one of the volunteers who came to help with the search," she said. "When our community is in need, the community rises to the occasion."

International Choir prepares for concerts in China
PLAINVIEW -- The Wayland Baptist University International Choir will represent the state of Texas in a major 2007 international music festival in the People's Republic of China. Chosen upon recommendations of state music officials and past achievements, the choir is directed by Dr. Scott Herrington.
The International Choir will perform in two cities, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, from March 7-15, 2007, in the American Celebration of Music in China, a festival recognized by the state governments.
The choir will participate in a complete program of performances, sightseeing, cultural exchanges and other activities. Students will also have opportunities to see the performances of Chinese musical groups. Activities such as sightseeing in Hong Kong, visiting Aberdeen Harbor and the Kam Tin (Wall City) Tang Clan Village, seeing Shenzhen, visiting the China Folk Culture Village and watching a Cantonese opera are on the slate of events, aimed at exposing the American students to the Eastern culture.
"Our students aren't exposed to Chinese music hardly at all in their musical training. So this is going to be a great way to expose them to the culture," Herrington said.
The group will also perform a concert in association with the choir at Hong Kong Baptist University and another university choir during the trip.
"We will each present individual selections, then combine to present Edward Elgar's 'Great is the Lord' in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth," Herrington said. The choir will lead morning worship and give an evening concert at Kowloon International Baptist Church.
Herrington said the choir will be more restricted when they travel inland to Shenzhen where religious freedom isn't as well accepted. Herrington said they will perform more pieces focusing on the history of Western and classical music.
According to Music Celebrations International of Tempe, Ariz., the organizers of the event in China, Chinese interest in Western culture is such that an American orchestra, choir or band can captivate a large and enthusiastic audience no matter where it performs. This festival is allied with the most prestigious music conservatories in Beijing, Xi'an and other major cities to provide great musical and cultural interaction between the musicians of both countries.
The goal of the organizers is to include at least one instrumental and one choral group from each of the 50 states to participate in the American Celebration of Music in China.
The trip is open to others to accompany the choir and costs $2,600 per person. Contact Herrington for a payment schedule.
The choir is also welcoming any donations by persons interested in helping offset the cost of the trip for student members. Students are required to raise approximately $1,900 each. Donations of any amount are welcome and may be sent to Herrington at Wayland, 1900 West 7th Street, CMB 399, Plainview, Texas 79072. Or contact Wayland's development office at 291-3425.
For more information, contact Herrington at (806) 291-1062.

Brussels Sprout, Mushroom & Tofu Soup
When I last shopped around for Brussels Sprouts, they all looked rather old and sad: the stems were browning, the outer leaves black-edged and bug-chewed. The best option was a gigantic stalk of Brussels, where the sprouts are still attached to the stalk and looking, well, younger and happier.
But a whole stalk is a lot of Brussels Sprouts for one person to use in a couple of days. So I decided to work on a new soup recipe and I'm so glad I followed my instincts on this one. This Asian-flavored soup combines roasted Brussels Sprouts with leeks, mushrooms, and tofu in a spicy broth of ginger, toasted sesame oil, miso, and chili garlic sauce and the combination really works. A comforting soup for a wintery day and a whole new way to enjoy Brussels Sprouts.
Brussels Sprout, Mushroom & Tofu Soup:
15 Brussels Sprouts, trimmed and cut into halves or quarters
2 tsp olive oil
sea salt
1 small leek, sliced into rings
1 inch peeled ginger, minced
6 oz mushrooms, sliced (I used Crimini)
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1-2 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce (premade - available in Asian section of grocery stores)
Soy sauce
5 oz tofu, cut into cubes
1 TBS red miso
Preheat the oven to 425. Place the cut Brussels Sprouts in a casserole dish with the olive oil and salt. Combine well. Roast in the oven until the Brussels Sprouts are almost cooked through (20-30 mins), stirring every 8 minutes or so.
In a saucepan, combine 1 tsp toasted sesame oil with the sliced leek and ginger. Cook, stirring regularly, until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook 2 minutes. Then add the cooked Brussels Sprouts and another tsp of toasted sesame oil. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and add the Chili Garlic Sauce and to taste. Cook 5 minutes then add the tofu and cook for one additional minute. Use some of the broth to dissolve the miso completely, then add back to the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce. Enjoy!

"Before you consider buying an animal, always consider going to your local shelter," says Kim Kalunian, reporter and webmaster for Beacon Communications, who for the past year has volunteered at the East Greenwich Animal Protection League. "There are lots of loveable animals who are looking for homes."
To help the cause, Kalunian spearheaded an upcoming fundraiser, which will feature a silent auction of 25 framed and matted 11" by 14" photos of Rhode Island celebrities posing with furry friends that are up for adoption. Cats and dogs that have had the fortune of being adopted also participated. All funds will be donated to the League, a private, no-kill shelter.
"Our animals live out the duration of their lives there and the shelter boards them at the Greenwich Bay Animal Hospital," Kalunian said. "The donations will cover their cost of living, veterinary expenses, and spaying and neutering costs."
So, who are some of the celebrities? Many of them include local performers who have starred in shows at Trinity Rep, as well as the Gamm Theatre, radio and television personalities and others like newspaper publisher John Howell, who operates the Warwick Beacon, Cranston Herald and Johnston Sun Rise.
"I even put a dog biscuit in my mouth," Howell said of the shoot. "They don't taste that bad."
Howell said he thinks Kalunian's project is innovative in an effort to help a cause that is close to her heart. He feels it was wise of her to contact people she knows to help shelter animals.
"She's doing it in a fashion I've never seen used before for animal causes," said Howell. "I expect she's going to be very successful in this."
Mary Larsen, co-host of "The Rhode Show" on FOX Providence, also modeled for the cause and agreed that Kalunian's fundraiser is a unique way to assist animals in need and emphasize the need for people to adopt.
"It's a really creative idea to highlight the business, as well as the animals and hopefully find them homes," she said. "It's so hard sometimes to shine the animals in a good light when they are behind a cage."
Doreen Collins, host of the show "Rhode Bytes" and "Unreal Deal" on Channel 10, feels the same.
"The time and effort Kim is putting into this is great and I wish more people would do stuff like this," Collins said. "Kim is awesome and I'm a huge animal advocate. My kids call me the crazy dog lady. Our dog, Albert, was rescued and I'd have more if I could."
Other models include Barbi Jo DiMaria, the marketing and promotions director of 92 PRO-FM, and Kate Fitzgerald, 11, who last year played the lead in Rhode Island Youth Theatre's production of "Annie," as well as starred in Trinity Rep's production of "A Christmas Carol."
"She posed with Buddy the Dog," Kalunian said. "Buddy is the reason I volunteer at the shelter."
Buddy made headlines last February when she was a shelter dog Kalunian sought out to star in "Annie," which she directed and choreographed. She needed a dog to play "Sandy" and contacted Tammy Flanagan, the president and director of the East Greenwich Animal Protection League. Not only was an animal star born; Kalunian's association with the shelter began.
"It really helped raise shelter dog adoption awareness," said Kalunian.
Flanagan, who in addition to volunteering at the clinic works full-time for the Warwick School Department and part-time as the kennel manager and veterinary technician at the Greenwich Bay Animal Hospital, had nothing but kind words to say about Kalunian. She feels blessed to have Kalunian, as well as her mother, Karen, as volunteers.
"She and her mother have been great advocates for our animals and have given us a lot of publicity," said Flanagan. "She has put so much work into this fundraiser. I can't thank her enough."
Kalunian developed the idea for the auction when she was on Facebook. In early November, she saw photos of a model who had done a photo shoot and there appeared to be a puppy on set. She enjoyed looking at a few candid shots of the model with the animal.
"I wondered if there was a way that I could recreate this with people I know who are comfortable in front of the camera and shelter animals," Kalunian said.
From there, she contacted professional photographer friends, Bonnie Griffin of Bonnie Griffin Photography, and Eve Marie Webster of Five of 5 Photography.
Then, she called Crestar Picture Framing at 51 Liberty Street off Main Street in East Greenwich and partners Cathy Buchanan and Jason Dittleman agreed to donate their space for the photo shoots, as well as the event.
"We love animals and this is for a good cause," Buchanan said. "We're doing this in the hopes that these animals will get adopted. Kim has really put a lot of effort into it."
Further, Kalunian started to seek donations to raffle at the event, which include Coldplay concert tickets, tickets to performances at Trinity Rep, Alex and Ani Jewelry, Haunted Rhode Island gear, Narragansett Beer products, and other merchandise.
Anne Mulhall, owner of LDI Casting, contributed a one-hour private coaching session for acting at the studio. She has known Kalunian since the reporter's younger years.
"I'm a big dog fan and a big Kim fan," Mulhall said. "She's so inspirational to be doing this and it doesn't surprise me one bit. It makes sense to me that she would take some of her passions and use them as resources to create this."
Kalunian, 22, said her affection for animals started when she was 9. She wanted a puppy and her parents got her a Maltese puppy, which she named Gizzi. Gizzi passed away in 2010 and Kalunian found comfort by visiting shelters.
Her mother, Karen, said she couldn't be more proud.
"I've always tried to instill in her how important volunteering is and I just want her to be healthy and happy," said Karen, a former Mrs. Rhode Island. "That's what all parents want for their children, so this is the icing on the cake."
The event will take place on Feb. 11 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Crestar Picture Framing. The local upcoming chef, Catherine Amoriggi, 15, a Bay View student, will prepare appetizers and there will be a cash bar for wine and a champagne toast. Plenty of parking is available. Buchanan described Crestar as located "across from the CVS drive-through window," as she said it is tricky to find.
In addition to volunteering at the shelter and working for Beacon Communications, Kalunian, a 2007 graduate of Moses Brown High School, also participates in theater. She began dancing at the Carolyn Dutra Dance Studio at 1945 Warwick Avenue when she was 2 and appeared in her first musical at 8.
Most recently, she starred in "A Chorus Line" at the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center in New Bedford, "The Family" at Providence's Trinity Rep, and is now choreographing "Grease" at Wheeler High School in Providence. This month she'll be directing and choreographing "Seussical the Musical," which is based on Dr. Seuss books, with the Rhode Island Youth Theatre. She is grateful for the help her friends gave her to make the project come to fruition.
"Thanks to everyone involved," said Kalunian. "It's heartwarming to see these animals get out of their cages for a little while and spend time with people who have opened their hearts and schedules to benefit them. I'm excited about the event."
Tickets can be purchased at the door for a suggested donation of $10. Anyone unable to attend can make contributions payable to the East Greenwich Animal Protection League at 5732 Post Road, East Greenwich, 02818, which houses 23 dogs and 25 cats, according to Flanagan.
For more information about the event, call 401-996-0726. To find out how to become a volunteer at the shelter, call 401-885-1158.

mattymcg necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 406 diseños de 68 diseñadores freelance.
sitepoint.com is an enormously popular portal for web designers and developers. In addition to our huge forum community we publish tutorials, news, books (in print and eBook format), training courses and much more.
Those of you who have been part of the 99designs community for a while will know that 99designs began its life in the SitePoint Forums. The two companies are like sisters, but we fight less than most sisters do. Except when it comes to foosball.
Our target audience is web designers and developers — both freelance business owners and salaried designers and developers. Most visitors classify themselves as either beginner or intermediate level.
Design our tagline (Become a better web developer), and place it in the header of the site.
Seriously, that's all there is to this brief. We're not asking for an entire blog theme, or even an entire page! We don't even need you to come up with the tagline—we've done that already. All we want is for you to find an aesthetically pleasing way for it to be integrated into the header of our site.
Here's the tagline in question:
Become a better web developer.
Simple, huh? Theoretically. There are a few caveats:
• The tagline should be placed somewhere in the header that is prominent (above the primary nav bar). The goal of this tagline is to communicate to first-time visitors to the site exactly who the site exists for and what people can do when they visit.
• The balance of the header must be maintained. Just whacking it in the white space available between the logo and the Search box probably isn't the answer—doing so will result in a cluttered page.
• The logo is important—don't mess with it. Introducing visual elements that encroach on its prominence is walking on shaky ground.
• The location of Search is up for grabs. Placing it in the nav bar, as in the attached screenshot, will certainly give you more room to play with.
The winning design will find its way onto the header of every page on sitepoint.com, seen by millions of designers and developers worldwide.
Good luck!

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The start of training camp is just days away.
There are 30 teams that believe deep down this is the year they do it. This is the year that it all comes together. This is the year that they win it all again in Miami, finally win it in Oklahoma City or finally break through and make the playoffs in places like Sacramento, Detroit and New Orleans.
The power of positive thinking will be on full display around the league when players convene for the initial stage of the 2012-13 season.
Not all of those hoop dreams will be realized, though, and there will no doubt be teams that are convinced they are prepared to take that next step this season when they simply are not.
But we're focusing on the positives today, peering into our crystal ball and trying to identify the teams with the goods to make good on whatever promise they've shown in recent seasons, Drafts and in the offseasons (in free agency and trades).
There are no guarantees, of course. Injuries and other unforeseen issues can alter the fate of a team at any time.
We've checked the radar, though, and the skies are clear for HT's Five Teams On The Rise … five lottery teams with a chance to move into the realm of playoff contention:
CLEVELAND CAVALIERS, 21-45 last season
They were supposed to go away for five or six years after the departure of Lebron James and rebuild quietly. Then Kyrie Irving showed up and forced us all to reconsider. The roster is slowly but surely being fortified to surround a budding star like Irving with a supporting cast capable of making a little playoff noise at some point in the near future.
Anderson Varejao looked like his usual pesky self in London during the Olympics and Tristan Thompson showed significant promise last season as well. They'll form the foundation of a frontcourt rotation that will include rookie center Tyler Zeller and rugged workman Samardo Samuels.
The only thing that worries us about the Cavaliers is whether or not rookie Dion Waiters is ready to assume his role as Irving's backcourt sidekick. We were a bit surprised to see him picked where he was in the June Draft, but we were forced to reconsider when a handful of coaches and two league executives we trust gushed about him after the Draft.
Bottom line: With the fearless Irving as the ringleader (he learned from the best in Las Vegas this summer), the Cavaliers have a fighting chance this season.
MILWAUKEE BUCKS, 31-35 last season
Bucks general manager John Hammond was the league's Executive of the Year in 2010 for a reason. If he believes that the Monta Ellis–Brandon Jennings combo is the key to getting this team back to the playoffs, we'll ride with him. And it's not like we needed to be convinced. Ellis has always been on our most underrated list and Jennings continues to do his thing without the respect he deserves for the improvements he's made since entering the league.
Hammond wasn't afraid to recognize that Andrew Bogut wasn't the right fit for the franchise, a move that will either look like a disaster or pure genius depending on how things for turn out for Bogut and the Golden State Warriors this season. The Bucks, instead, are opting for the big-man-by-committee approach this season with Sam Dalembert, Drew Gooden, Larry Sanders, Ekpe Udoh and rookie John Henson manning the paint.
Ersan Ilyasova was a bit of a revelation last season and should give Bucks fans another dose of hope about this season and the future of the franchise. It's not often a team stumbles onto a gem like Ilyasova, an unselfish worker bee who is effective on both ends of the floor with the range to shoot from deep and the size and versatility to guard as many as three different positions.
Bottom line: The pressure is on and Bucks coach Scott Skiles usually does some of his best work in those situations.
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES, 26-40 last season
Before Ricky Rubio went down last season the Timberwolves looked like a team that might be a year ahead of schedule, in terms of making a legitimate attempt at crashing the Western Conference playoff party. He won't be back until sometime in December, but there is reason to believe that Rick Adelman's team is ready to take the next step this season, whether Rubio is ready to resume his playmaking ways right away or not.
Having a revitalized Brandon Roy to balance the floor for All-Star power forward Kevin Love is going to be extremely fun to watch. And Roy also gives the Timberwolves another clutch shot-maker at the end of games, too. Love is poised to take yet another step on his path to becoming the most complete power forward in the game (yes, we said it), and he'll have plenty of help up front from rugged types like Nikola Pekovic, Greg Stiemsma and HT fave Dante Cunningham.
The added bonus this year for the Timberwolves come in the form of improved depth. Aleksey Shved, Andrei Kirilenko and Chase Budinger will help upgrade the backcourt and wing rotations. And when Rubio returns, they should have everything covered.
Bottom line: If Derrick Williams finds his niche this season, this team becomes extremely dangerous.
NEW ORLEANS HORNETS, 21-45 last season
The youth movement in the Big Easy is in full swing with No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis, rookie guard Austin Rivers and the highly underrated rookie Darius Miller ready to lead the Hornets' youth brigade. We saw enough from Davis and heard enough from his Olympic team coaches and teammates in London to know that his defensive presence will make an immediate and dramatic impact for the Hornets, who have been solid in that phase under Monty Williams.
Don't forget about Eric Gordon, who has the ability to score at an elite level and be the alpha dog offensively that this team will need. Gordon's a pro's pro, so we're not concerned about their being any lingering issues from his restricted free agent summer. And dating back to his high school days (when he played summer ball alongside Derrick Rose), Gordon should have no problem sharing the spotlight or the backcourt load with another big time guard.
The addition of Ryan Anderson gives the Hornets another offensive dimension they didn't have last season. There is some talent, largely unproven, to help fill out the rotation on the wing but no one we're ready to count on for big things just yet.
Bottom line: Robin Lopez and Jason Smith have to be ready to help carry the load down low so Davis can grow his offensive game and body as quickly as possible.
PHOENIX SUNS, 33-33 last season
We've already explained what could be in store for Goran Dragic this year as he replaces Steve Nash as the head of the Suns' snake. Are we gambling that a two-month stint of wicked play from Dragic in Houston last season means he's ready to run his own show on a full-time basis? Sure. We're doing the same thing the Rockets did when they let Dragic get out of town and put their money on Jeremy Lin's two-month stretch in New York being a preview of what's to come. Call us crazy if it all goes up in smoke this season.
This team is full of cast offs, from Michael Beasley to Luis Scola, who have every right to play with huge chips on their shoulders this season. Spite has often served as one of the great motivators in league history (see the 2004 title-winning Pistons, a team full of guys who were tossed aside at one time or another in their careers). If he has nothing, Suns coach Alvin Gentry will have that rallying cry for his troops.
If Marcin Gortat's evolution continues without Nash around facilitate the process, there's another key piece this team will rely on as they groom rookie Kendall Marshall for a potentially starring role. Don't sleep on Markieff Morris, who could be in for a breakout season of his own.
Bottom line: This is our one stretch on the list, but there's something about this mismatched crew that intrigues us. If Beasley finally decides to play up to his potential, look out.

Shooting Club Hosts Smallbore Rifle Clinic
CAPITAN, N.M. October 24, 2012 – Eighteen shooters from throughout New Mexico and Texas, ranging in age from 9 to over 50, attended a smallbore rifle clinic hosted by the New Mexico Tech Shooting Sports Club, Socorro Gun Club and Capitan Highpower Rifle Club on October 12 to 14 at the Capitan Smallbore Rifle Range.
Tech students compete at Capitan.
Tech students compete at Capitan.
The clinic provided instruction that enhanced competitors' shooting skills and prepared them for competition. James and Virginia McLemore were the clinic instructors. Virginia is a certified coach, training counselor, national champion, and holds national records in highpower and smallbore rifle. James is a certified rifle and small arms reloading instructor. The clinic also included a three-position and prone smallbore rifle competition on Sunday. The course of fire for the three-position shooters was 20 shots in each position (prone, standing, kneeling) followed by the Dewar course (20 shots at 50 yds, 20 shots at 100 yds) in the prone position, for a total of 1,000 points.
Five members of the New Mexico Tech Shooting Sports Club attended the clinic. David Best and Brian Sun were members of the 2011-2012 New Mexico Tech Rifle Team and new shooters who attended were Austin Mier, Frank Anees, and Jean Paul Chanuel. The New Mexico Tech Shooting Sports club has provided experience in air rifle and pistol, smallbore rifle, and highpower rifle for more than 25 years. But this is the third year the students were interested in competition beyond the club level. Not too many colleges are as supportive of the shooting sports as New Mexico Tech, who provided some of the travel funds and training materials.
In Sunday's competition, the wind died down and the competitors could concentrate on the fundamentals without being blown around as on Saturday. Socorro shooter Kris Haskins won the three-position event, with Tech student David Best just two points behind, to capture second. Brian Sun was third. In the prone competition, Alto shooter, Sha Rodolph won the competition, Ron Miller from Lubock was second, and Tech student Austin Mier was third.
A special thanks to the Civilian Marksmanship Program who also provided funds through a special projects grant to support this event. The CMP is a national program that promotes firearm safety and marksmanship training with emphasis on youth participation (web site is http://www.odcmp.com/).
The New Mexico Tech Rifle Team recently finished competing in Amarillo on Oct. 20 and 21 and for the NRA Intercollegiate Club Sectional Championships, which will be at the New Mexico Military Institute in January 2013. The NRA National Intercollegiate Club Championships will be help at Fort Benning, Ga., in March 2013 for the top 10 teams that qualify at the sectional championships. New members of the New Mexico Tech Shooting Sports Club are welcome. The club has regular practice at the New Mexico Tech Gym Classroom every Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters.
By Virginia T. McLemore/ New Mexico Tech Rifle Team Coach
