Royals Announce Series Of Roster Moves
KANSAS CITY, MO (November 2, 2012) — The Kansas City Royals today announced several 40-man Major League roster moves. Following the moves, the Royals now have 40 players on the club's 40-man roster.
The club has reinstated left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy and right-handed pitcher Felipe Paulino from the 60-day Disabled List. Both pitchers underwent ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (Tommy John surgery) during the 2012 season: Duffy on his left elbow on June 13 and Paulino on his right elbow on July 3.
In addition, the club claimed right-handed pitcher Guillermo Moscoso on Outright Waivers from the Colorado Rockies and claimed catcher Brett Hayes on Outright Waivers from the Miami Marlins.
Leaving the Royals organization is right-handed pitcher Blake Wood, who was claimed on Outright Waivers by the Cleveland Indians.
Catcher Manuel Pina was assigned outright to Omaha while left-handed pitcher Tommy Hottovy, right-handed pitcher Jeremy Jeffress and outfielder Jason Bourgeois were designated for assignment.
The 28-year-old Moscoso (name is pronounced "jee-AIR-moh mahs-KOH-soh"), who will turn 29 on November 14, has pitched for parts of the past four seasons in the Majors with the Rangers (2009-10), Athletics (2011) and Rockies (2012). The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder made 23 appearances, including three starts, for Colorado last season and went 3-2 with a 6.12 ERA. His best season came in 2011 with Oakland when he compiled an 8-10 record with a 3.38 ERA in 23 games (21 starts), allowing three hits or fewer in eight starts. Born in Maracay, Venezuela, Moscoso was originally signed by the Detroit Tigers as a non-drafted free agent in 2003.
Hayes, 28, has worked as the Marlins backup catcher for parts of the past four seasons. In 39 games in 2012, he batted .202 with six doubles after hitting .231 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 64 contests in 2011. Known as a strong defensive catcher, Hayes has caught 19 of 74 attempted basestealers in his career (26%). The 6-foot, 201-pound right-handed hitter was the Marlins' second-round selection in the 2005 draft out of the University of Nevada. His father, Tim Hayes, was drafted by the Royals but never played professionally.

Where can you prance with the dolphins and pray in a sanctuary with a sand-covered floor?
Jamaica, for one.
The Caribbean nation is home to one of five synagogues worldwide with sand-covered sanctuary floors – a reminder of the sand that conversos were said to put on their floors to muffle the prayers they recited in secret. It's also home to one of the oldest Jewish communities in the Western Hemisphere, with the earliest Jews believed to have arrived in the early 1600s, perhaps even the late 1500s.
The tiny, racially mixed community – "200 souls," according to Ainsley Henriques, the Jewish community's leader and historian – is proud of its heritage, as both Jews and Jamaicans who helped build the nation.
Jewish travellers seeking something beyond Jamaica's beaches, mountains, rainforests, dolphin coves, water sports and reggae music can find places that speak to that heritage.
Primary is Congregation Kahal Kadosh Shaare Shalom, the nation's only synagogue still in existence. The original building, which was dedicated in 1888 for merged Sephardi and Ashkenazi congregations, was destroyed along with much of downtown Kingston in a 1907 earthquake. The rebuilt synagogue, with its Sephardi-style sanctuary, rich mahogany interior, pipe organ and white exterior surrounded by palm trees was dedicated in 1913 and continues to be an active synagogue.
But tourists are often needed to help make a minyan. Congregants are grateful for their guests, warmly greeting them, ensuring they have prayer books, and calling male and female visitors to the Torah.
The congregation uses its own siddur, which draws greatly from early Reform prayer books, although modified to suit its needs, and includes numerous English translations and Hebrew transliterations.
And you'll find the challah (made by a local bakery), honey cake and sweet kosher wine that you'd find at a typical kiddush back home.
The grounds include tombstones rescued from an old cemetery, some dating to the 1700s, and a Jewish Heritage Center that serves as a multipurpose room and museum about Jewish life in general and Jewish Jamaica in particular. Tucked in the centre's corner is the Jamaica Jewish Genealogical Institute, where you can trace names such as Henriques, Levy and Matalon back to their Sephardic origins.
While the synagogue itself is beautiful and well maintained, the neighbourhood is seedy and it's not advisable to walk alone. On a recent visit, a security car accompanied journalists on the approximately two-mile walk back to our hotel following Friday-night services.
If the synagogue is the main Jewish attraction, reminders of Jewish life can be found at tourist sites, too.
At Fort Charles, a Port Royal fort built by the British to guard against a reinvasion by the Spanish, a maritime museum display includes a Sabbath lamp rescued from the rubble of a 1692 earthquake. The quake levelled much of the area, including Jamaica's first synagogue, built in the mid-1600s.
The fort itself suffered earthquake damage in 1907, leading a former artillery store to tilt and be dubbed the Giddy House. Beware if you have vertigo.
Back in Kingston is Devon House, a colonial mansion built in 1881 for George Stiebel, Jamaica's first black millionaire and the son of a German Jew. The two-story mansion, later owned by other Jewish families, is now a historic site open to the public. The servant quarters, kitchen and other buildings adjacent to the house have been transformed into shops and eateries, including an ice cream shop that National Geographic last year ranked the world's fourth-best place to eat ice cream.
The National Gallery of Art of Jamaica houses works by the Jewish artist Isaac Mendes Belasario, a landscape, portrait and folk artist born to a Sephardi family in 1795.
Now about those prancing dolphins. Among the places you can find them is Dolphin Cove Treasure Reef in Ochos Rios, a 2-1/2-hour drive from Kingston to Jamaica's north coast. (If you're like I am and prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip the winding mountain drive and fly directly to Montego Bay for its many resorts and recreational activities.)
Dolphin Cove isn't solely for encounters with dolphins – you can spend time with colorful birds, touch a stingray, snorkel or paddle a glass-bottom kayak.
But those mammals with the perpetual smiles are hard to resist, and there are several options for dolphin encounters. They range from the tame – standing on a platform in knee-high water while a bottle-nosed dolphin does her tricks, and touching her as she swims by – to the more adventurous dorsal pull, where visitors grab the dolphin's dorsal fin and let her pull them through the water.
For those interested in climbing a waterfall, try Dunn's River Falls, where you can put on water shoes and make your way through pools of water and up the rocks and boulders as the crisp, clear waters tumble and rush beneath your feet. I found it terrifying and bailed at the first exit, but the sure-footed might enjoy it.
Another Ochos Rios attraction is Mystic Mountain, which includes zip lines and a bobsled track through the rainforest, a pool with a twisting slide and a hummingbird garden.
Best of all, you'll get a spectacular view of the Caribbean from the chairlift to and from the mountaintop, with your feet sometimes skimming the lush and sweetly fragrant forest below with its banana, passion, ackee and other trees.
(Debra Rubin visited Jamaica on a Jewish heritage media trip as a guest of the Jamaica Tourist Board.)

The following checklists will give you some ideas about helping your child learn as he or she gets older and considers college. Tips are also offered in specific areas in which parents often have questions.
Always be part of your child's educational experience. Here are some things you can do at home to help your child be a more successful student.
Reading will help your child succeed. Start from an early age by reading to your child and listening to him or her read to you. Continue this habit through your child's early elementary school years. Make sure your child learns letters, learns how to put them together to make sounds, and then, learns how to recognize them on the page of a book. As your child begins to develop his or her reading skills, make sure your child is reading more difficult books. Ask your child questions to see if he or she understands what is being read. Introduce your child to languages other than English. Look for words in English that have come from other languages. If English is not your native language, help your child learn both your language and English.
Show your child how you use math and science in your everyday life. Count with your child and measure things. Answer your child's "why" questions; if you do not know the answers, look them up with your child in a book, at the library or by using the Internet. Talk about "cause and effect"—that is, when one thing happens, it makes something else happen.
Visit science museums, watch television shows about scientific findings, play games that are based on numbers, and talk to people you know who have jobs in science and math fields. These activities will help your child see how science and math work in the world.
Be aware of the possibilities of the computer and talk with the school about what resources are available for your child. Technology has created a knowledge revolution, and education is changing as a result of it. The Internet can provide research information for your child's homework and school projects at the touch of a button in a classroom, at the library or even in your own home. Using computers can help teachers provide instruction for a specific child's needs. Videos on the World Wide Web can take a class on a virtual field trip to a historic site or a scientific laboratory without ever leaving town. And lessons done by a student on a computer can be tested immediately to find out if the student has learned what was being taught.
The possibilities of technology are endless, but just like any other home activity, children should be watched to make sure their use of technology is safe and that they are wary of strangers.
By law, schools must provide special help to children with disabilities. If you notice your child has problems speaking, reading, writing or using language in general, talk with your child's teacher, principal or vice principal to get help quickly. Your child's skills will be checked, and a decision will be made whether your child needs special help and related services. If your child does need special education, an Individualized Education Program (IEP), which explains your child's educational plan and the special services your child will receive, as well as how your child will participate in state and district tests, will be developed with you as a member of the IEP Team. After the program is developed, you must be given a copy of the IEP, so you can make sure that it is being followed.
Individualized Education Program (IEP): a written document that explains the special educational and related services that a child will receive to enhance his or her learning.
Mark was becoming a behavior problem in school. Progress reports were coming home that showed Mark was failing. His mother realized there was a problem and called Mark's teacher for a conference. The teacher scheduled testing for Mark. The tests showed that he had a learning disability—slight, but enough to interfere with understanding his school work. Once the disability was discovered, the teacher and Mark's mother understood why he was so frustrated doing his classwork and homework. In addition to the special services and supports at school that were included in his IEP, the teacher agreed to give Mark's mother frequent updates about his performance. Mark's mother kept in constant communication with the teacher and continued to monitor his work at home and school, even checking his bookbag everyday for notes and work.*
*This anecdote is based on an interview with a parent conducted during the preparation of the Empowering Parents School Box. The story is for illustration only. The child's name has been changed to protect his privacy.

This is the home page for information on the planning for the Web Tools Platform (WTP) Project 3.1 release.
Planning Process
The Eclipse Board has mandated that all top-level projects should keep their project plan in a standard format. See, Development_Resources/Project_Plan for details. The following process is to help automate as much of the plan as possible.
- We will use Bugzilla to track the features. Use the 'plan' keyword to submit feature requests for this release.
- Project leads will triage these requests. A feature request will have the following stages in a release:
|These are features that the Project Lead has triaged for the release. These are items that are either being investigated or items that the project would like to explore but are not yet Committed. Most of the features should start as proposed items. After a review and some amount of detailed planning, their status will either become committed or deferred.
The Project Lead will set the Target Milestone field of the bug to 3.1 (2.1 for JPT).
|These are features that project team is definitely going to address in the release. Resources and some amount of detailed plans have been identified for such items.
The Project Lead will set the Target Milestone field of the bug to the specific milestones in which it will be available.
|These are valid features that started in a Proposed state but will not be addressed in this release. Each such item will have a brief note explaining the cause for the deferral.
The Project Lead will set the Target Milestone field of the bug to Future
- The PMC and the Project Leads will identify Themes for this release. If applicable, feature requests can be linked to a theme. The mechanism for defining a theme and linking a feature request to a theme is to be determined.
Summary Bugzilla Queries
The following table shows all 'plan' (keyword) items for all targets and components.
The following table shows all items targeted for WTP 3.1 that are not plan items, per se.
Triage bugzilla for candidate items to target to 3.1
As planning progresses, we will expect these types of bugs (major, or ones with many votes) to become less and less in number.

Add another one to the list. Hours after Paula Deen wiped away tears on the Today Show as she tried to clear her name in the wake of the racial slur scandal, Walmart doesn't seem to be listening.
On Wednesday, June 26, the world's largest retailer announced that they ended their partnership with the 66-year-old cook. "We are ending our relationship with Paula Deen Enterprises and we will not place new orders beyond those already committed," Danit Marquardt, a Walmart spokesperson, tells Us Weekly.
Walmart had been selling a variety of Deen's products since 2011. Since it was revealed last week during a deposition that the chef used the N-word in the past, Food Network and Smithfield Foods announced they were ending their partnerships with her as well.
Earlier on Wednesday, June 26, Caesars announced that they and Deen had reached a "mutual agreement" to not "renew the two companies' business relationship," explaining that they will rebrand their Deen-themed restaurants in the coming months.
PHOTOS: Stars who've been fired
"While we appreciate Paula's sincere apologies for statements she made in her past that she recently disclosed during a deposition given in response to a lawsuit, after thoughtful consideration of their impact, we have mutually decided that it is in the best interests of both parties to part ways at this time," Jan Jones Blackhurst, executive vice president of communications and government affairs for Caesars Entertainment, told Us in a statement.
On the Today Show, the celeb chef broke down in tears during her 14-minute interview with Matt Lauer, denying allegations that she was racist.
"If there's anyone out there that have never said something that they wish they could take back. If you're out there please pick up that stone and throw it so hard at my head that it kills me," she said. "Please, I want to meet you. I is what I is, and I'm not changing."

Today at Yokohama I had to say goodbye to the kids I've been teaching all year.
While at times the kids wear me out like you wouldn't believe, I'm going to miss every one of them. It's amazing how you can see their little personalities come through. This is the way these children will be their whole life. (Although I'm sure the Japanese system will put them in their place as they get older).
It's like I'm the ringmaster of a crazy circus in these classes, and can sometimes feel a little thankless.
Being the last class, I was overwhelmed with gifts from the kids mothers.
I got a whole lot of cakes, biscuits, flowers and cards. There was so much, I didn't have much room for them in my bag.
A little bit of a sad goodbye.
Thank You!

The War of 1812
War of 1812, armed conflict between the United States and Great Britain, 1812–15. It followed a period of great stress between the two nations as a result of the treatment of neutral countries by both France and England during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, in which the latter two were antagonists (1793–1801, 1803–14).

Despite their low weight and diminutive dimensions, the Matrix GT1000FX 1u and GT1000FX 2u 19" rack mount stereo power amps with MOSFET solid state technology offer the following advantages:
- Full, lively sound
- Excellent dynamics
- Power to cut through the mix
- 2x500 Watt stereo / 1000 Watt mono
- Minimal heat development
- No humming
- High output
- Lots of headroom
- Bridge and mono modes
- Safeguarded against incorrect use
- Flexible connections for various impedances and cabinets
Not many guitarists will ever need 1000 Watts, but having that much power in reserve with so much headroom and dynamics behind you is both impressive and reassuring. On top of this both the 1u and 2u versions of the GT1000FX power amps are extremely flexible when it comes to connecting up cabinets with differing impedences. In bridged mode both power amp modules are combined into one single power monster.
- 2 x 350 Watts to 8 Ohm
- 2 x 500 Watts to 4 Ohm
- 650 Watts in bridged mode to 16 ohms
- 1000 Watts im bridged mode to 8 ohms
And all this comes with a signal-to-noise ratio of 96 dB and a THD (total harmonic distortion) of just 0.06% at 1kHz, or <0.1% between 20Hz and 20kHz at full power!
The space-saving and light (only 2.2kg) 1u version of the GT1000FX with 1000 Watts is ideal for live use. The 2u version weighs just 3 kilos and due to its larger, quieter fans it is the perfect choice for studios or any other environment where ultra-quiet operation is paramount. Apart from the fans and the housing height the two machines are built identically.
The Matrix GT1000FX power amps were developed specifically with guitarists in mind. They are ideal for use with all the Axe-Fx versions and are highly recommended by Fractal Audio. Of course they also work brilliantly with other amp and effects modellers, tube preamps, modelling amps with line-out jacks and as slave amps.
They can do loud, they can do quiet and, should the need arise, they can do really, really loud as well. Punch, dynamics and great sound that really cuts through, in a way that gets every guitarist's heart going.
Aside from the obvious power socket, the Matrix GT1000FX offers five connection jacks. Per channel there is one Neutrik combi 1/4 inch/XLR input and a combi 1/4inch/Speakon output and for the bridge mode there is also a dedicated 1/4inch/Speakon output.
Any suitable loudspeaker cabinets can easily be connected to the Matrix GT1000FX. The user is completely free to decide whether to use a full-range passive monitor or a guitar cabinet, either with or without speaker/cabinet simulation.
When it comes to connecting up loudspeaker cabs the Matrix is extremely guitarist-friendly, tolerant and flexible. Using a 2x12 box with one 8 ohm speaker and one 16 ohm speaker in mono is no problem, nor is using a 4 ohm cabinet on one side and a 16 ohm cab on the other side in stereo mode. Per channel you can run any speakers (or speaker combinations) with a minimum impedance of 4 ohms and in bridged mode the minimum impedence is 8 ohms.
- The rear panel holds a switch for the three output modes. The selected mode is shown on the front panel LEDs:
- In stereo mode channels A and B can be run independently and can be fed by different signals.
- In parallel mono mode input A feeds both channels and both power amps. Input B has no use here. Both channels can still be adjusted separately for volume.
- In bridged mode (mono) the input signal from channel A is sent out of phase to channel B. There is a dedicated loudspeaker jack for bridged mode (mono).
- A special Soft Start Circuit ensures that when the unit is switched on it draws its power slowly to avoid tripping the house circuit breaker.
- There is built-in protection against loudspeaker short circuits and overheating.
- Power-on thump is avoided with a relais-controlled delay in the connection of the speakers.
- There is no physical connection with the speakers until the unit has powered up.

Well, the reason I'm smiling is that I'm finally able to welcome you to DrDobbs.com....make that the "new and improved" DrDobbs.com. If you're a long-time reader of Dr. Dobb's, you probably think that the "new and improved" part is like the library books stacked up in the corner of my office -- overdue. And you'd be right. Which is why I'm especially pleased to usher in this redesigned Dr. Dobb's website.
Photos of yours truly aside, the "improved" stuff is easy to spot: brighter colors, smoother layouts, and a design that makes finding actual articles possible. In other words, the kind of UI that enhances the user experience you'd expect from DrDobbs.com.
Improved UIs are one thing, but "new" features is where the fun begins -- and we've loaded up DrDobbs.com with new features, including:
- A spotlight on the Dr. Dobb's Guru Bloggers, that merry band of experts (well, for the most part; there are a couple of grumpy ones in the mix) stay on top of what's happening in the world of software development
- New search functionality that helps you find what you want faster and more accurately
- Improved community experience thanks to new commenting functionality allows deeper user interaction and engagement.
- Social network integration with deeper embedding of social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.

That's some, but not all, of the changes you'll start seeing as you begin poking around in the site. What hasn't changed, however, is Dr. Dobb's commitment to excellence in technical information. What? You don't believe me? Okay, that's fair. I'm admittedly biased when it comes to Dr. Dobb's, so will you believe your peers?
In a recent survey, Evans Data, the leading marketing intelligence company for the software development space, asked developers to identify and rate the websites they visit on a regular basis. I'm happy to report that DrDobbs.com came out as #1 in a number of categories, including quality of technical articles, usefulness of technical articles, blogs, unbiased product coverage, and overall credibility.
We're honored that the software development community has recognized DrDobbs.com in this regard, and I'd like to personally say thanks for the kind words and support.
I also hope that you'll find DrDobbs.com is both new and improved. At the same time, I look forward to hearing your suggestions and recommendations for improving the website even more, whether it is an article you'd like to write or an application you've already written.

Trip to the US: Lunch at Babbo's Pizzeria, Stanford Shopping Center
>> Sunday, May 12, 2013
After checking into the hotel, we headed out for a bite. It was around 4pm at that time & we weren't sure what's good around the hotel area & what restaurants/diners are still opened at that time. It was supposedly our lunch by the way...
One of the nearest malls is the Stanford Shopping Center. The shopping centers here are unlike the malls that we have back in Malaysia. It's more alike the strip malls - no aircon & individual shops/restaurants. It didn't really matter that the shopping centers here do not have aircon since the weather's cool during this time of the year :) The outdoors is like 16C aircon back home!
After going around for a while, we decided to just try out Babbo's Pizzeria. The little Mediterranean/Italian restaurant looks simple, quaint, & the variety of food served here looks more appealing compared to the other restaurants that are still open.

Jon Stewart Mocks the Cable News Channels' Election Coverage
[There was a video here]
On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart recapped the inane time-killing methods that the cable news networks, specifically CNN and Fox News, had to employ during last night's coverage of the primaries. The Fox Newsies argued about home state vs. native state and Anderson Cooper took a walk to a gigantic glass cube to get no new information whatsoever. Good times all around.

How do you know when you have found THE ONE? That scent that could be yours and yours alone. Your signature.
You can not stop muttering OMG, OMG, OMG for 15 minutes. When you attempt to describe the fragrance, you once again mutter OMG. When you type, you type OMG, OMG, OMG. That's when you know.
REVIEW for ET PEONY & ROSE:
OMG, OMG, OMG. This is my experience, not with ET Ellen Tracy, but with
Goblin (from the Diabolus line) - Black coconut, gnarly patchouli, and sweet benzoin.
This reminds me of a smoldering fire. Not smokey, just the impression of the scent from a smoldering fire. I had a small bottle of something from an artisan called "Fireside" - almost exactly the same & it went into an oil burner b/c I wouldn't wear it. This is better, though.
I think I'd like this on a hunk of raw, husky manliness, like Toby Keith or Blake Shelton,

"Recently a Force Science News member, a deputy sheriff from Texas, suggested that it's time for a fresh look at the underlying principles of edged-weapon defense, to see if they are "upheld by fresh research." He observed that "the knife culture is growing, not shrinking," with many people, including the homeless, "carrying significant blades on the street." He noted that compared to scientific findings, "anecdotal evidence is not good enough when an officer is in court defending against a wrongful death claim because he felt he had to shoot some[body] with a knife at 0-dark:30 a.m."
"As a prelude to more extensive studies of edged-weapon-related issues, the Force Science Research Center at Minnesota State University-Mankato has responded by reexamining the 21-Foot Rule, arguably the most widely taught and commonly remembered element of edged-weapon defense.
After testing the Rule against FSRC's landmark findings on action-reaction times and conferring with selected members of its National and Technical Advisory Boards, the Center has reached these conclusions, according to Executive Director Dr. Bill Lewinski:
1. Because of a prevalent misinterpretation, the 21-Foot Rule has been dangerously corrupted.
2. When properly understood, the 21-Foot Rule is still valid in certain limited circumstances.
3. For many officers and situations, a 21-foot reactionary gap is not sufficient.
4. The weapon that officers often think they can depend on to defeat knife attacks can't be relied upon to protect them in many cases.
5. Training in edged-weapon defense should by no means be abandoned.
"Unfortunately, some officers and apparently some trainers as well have ''streamlined'' the 21-Foot Rule in a way that gravely distorts its meaning and exposes them to highly undesirable legal consequences," Lewinski says. Namely, they have come to believe that the Rule means that a subject brandishing an edged weapon when positioned at any distance less than 21 feet from an officer can justifiably be shot.
For example, an article on the 21-Foot Rule in a highly respected LE magazine states in its opening sentence that "a suspect armed with an edged weapon and within twenty-one feet of a police officer presents a deadly threat." The "common knowledge" that "deadly force against him is justified" has long been "accepted in police and court circles," the article continues.
Statements like that, Lewinski says, "have led officers to believe that no matter what position they're in, even with their gun on target and their finger on the trigger, they are in extreme danger at 21 feet. They believe they don't have a chance of surviving unless they preempt the suspect by shooting.
However widespread that contaminated interpretation may be, it is NOT accurate. A suspect with a knife within 21 feet of an officer is POTENTIALLY a deadly threat. He does warrant getting your gun out and ready. But he cannot be considered an actual threat justifying deadly force until he takes the first overt action in furtherance of intention--like starting to rush or lunge toward the officer with intent to do harm. Even then there may be factors besides distance that influence a force decision.
So long as a subject is stationary or moving around but not advancing or giving any indication he's about to charge, it clearly is not legally justified to use lethal force against him. Officers who do shoot in those circumstances may find themselves subject to disciplinary action, civil suits or even criminal charges.
Lewinski believes the misconception of the 21-Foot Rule has become so common that some academies and in-service training programs now are reluctant to include the Rule as part of their edged-weapon defense instruction for fear of non-righteous shootings resulting.
When you talk about the 21-Foot Rule, you have to understand what it really means when fully articulated correctly in order to judge its value as a law enforcement concept," Lewinski says. "And it does not mean ''less than 21 feet automatically equals shoot.
In real-world encounters, many variables affect time, which is the key component of the 21-Foot Rule. What is the training skill and stress level of the officer? How fast and agile is he? How alert is he to preliminary cues to aggressive movement? How agile and fast is the suspect? Is he drunk and stumbling, or a young guy in a ninja outfit ready to rock and roll? How adept is the officer at drawing his holstered weapon? What kind of holster does he have? What's the terrain? If it's outdoors, is the ground bumpy or pocked with holes? Is the suspect running on concrete, or on grass, or through snow and across ice? Is the officer uphill and the suspect downhill, or vice versa? If it's indoors, is the officer at the foot of stairs and the suspect above him, or vice versa? Are there obstacles between them? And so on.
These factors and others can impact the validity of the 21-Foot Rule because they affect an attacking suspect's speed in reaching the officer, and the officer's speed in reacting to the threatening charge.
The 21-Foot Rule was formulated by timing subjects beginning their headlong run from a dead stop on a flat surface offering good traction and officers standing stationary on the same plane, sidearm holstered and snapped in. The FSRC has extensively measured action and reaction times under these same conditions. Among other things, the Center has documented the time it takes officers to make 20 different actions that are common in deadly force encounters.
Here are some of the relevant findings that the FSRC applied in reevaluating the 21-Foot Rule:
- Once he perceives a signal to do so, the AVERAGE officer requires 1.5 seconds to draw from a snapped Level II holster and fire one unsighted round at center mass. Add 1/4 of a second for firing a second round, and another 1/10 of a second for obtaining a flash sight picture for the average officer.
- The fastest officer tested required 1.31 seconds to draw from a Level II holster and get off his first unsighted round. The slowest officer tested required 2.25 seconds.
- For the average officer to draw and fire an unsighted round from a snapped Level III holster, which is becoming increasingly popular in LE because of its extra security features, takes 1.7 seconds.
- Meanwhile, the AVERAGE suspect with an edged weapon raised in the traditional "ice-pick" position can go from a dead stop to level, unobstructed surface offering good traction in 1.5-1.7 seconds.
- The "fastest, most skillful, most powerful" subject FSRC tested "easily" covered that distance in 1.27 seconds. Intense rage, high agitation and/or the influence of stimulants may even shorten that time, Lewinski observes.
- Even the slowest subject "lumbered" through this distance in just 2.5 seconds.
Bottom line: Within a 21-foot perimeter, most officers dealing with most edged-weapon suspects are at a decided - perhaps fatal - disadvantage if the suspect launches a sudden charge intent on harming them. "Certainly it is not safe to have your gun in your holster at this distance," Lewinski says, and firing in hopes of stopping an activated attack within this range may well be justified.
But many unpredictable variables that are inevitable in the field prevent a precise, all-encompassing truism from being fashioned from controlled "laboratory" research.
"If you shoot an edged-weapon offender before he is actually on you or at least within reaching distance, you need to anticipate being challenged on your decision by people both in and out of law enforcement who do not understand the sobering facts of action and reaction times," says FSRC National Advisory Board member Bill Everett, an attorney, use-of-force trainer and former cop. "Someone is bound to say, ''Hey, this guy was 10 feet away when he dropped and died. Why did you have to shoot him when he was so far away from you?''"
Be able to articulate why you felt yourself or other innocent party to be in imminent or immediate life-threatening jeopardy and why the threat would have been substantially accentuated if you had delayed, Everett advises. You need to specifically mention the first motion that indicated the subject was about to attack and was beyond your ability to influence verbally.
And remember: No single rule can arbitrarily be used to determine when a particular level of force is lawful. The 21-Foot Rule has value as a rough guideline, illustrating the reactionary curve, but it is by no means an absolute.
The Supreme Court's landmark use-of-force decision, in Graham v. Connor, established a ''reasonableness standard," Everett reminds. You'll be judged ultimately according to what a reasonable officer would have done. All of the facts and circumstances that make up the dynamics between you and the subject will be evaluated."
Of course, some important facts may be subtle and now widely known or understood. That's where FSRC''s unique findings on lethal-force dynamics fit in. Explains Lewinski: "The FSRC''s research will add to your ability to articulate and explain the facts and circumstances and how they influenced your decision to use force."
In reality, the 21-Foot Rule--by itself--may not provide officers with an adequate margin of protection, says Dr. Bill Lewinski, FSRC's executive director. "It's easily possible for suspects in some circumstances to launch a successful fatal attack from a distance greater than 21 feet.
Among other police instructors, John Delgado, retired training officer for the Miami-Dade (FL) PD, has extended the 21-Foot Rule to 30 feet. "Twenty-one feet doesn't really give many officers time to get their gun out and fire accurately," he says. Higher-security holsters complicate the situation, for one thing. Some manufacturers recommend 3,000 pulls to develop proficiency with a holster. Most cops don't do that, so it takes them longer to get their gun out than what's ideal.
Also shooting proficiency tends to deteriorate under stress. Their initial rounds may not even hit. Beyond that, there's the well-established fact that a suspect often can keep going from momentum, adrenalin, chemicals and sheer determination, even after being shot. Experience informs us that people who are shot with a handgun do not fall down instantly nor does the energy of a handgun round stop their forward movement, states Chris Lawrence, team leader of DT training at the Ontario (Canada) Police College and an FSRC Technical Advisory Board member.
Says Lewinski: "Certain arterial or spinal hits may drop an attacker instantly. But otherwise a wounded but committed suspect may have the capacity to continue on to the officer's location and complete his deadly intentions." That's one reason why tactical distractions, which we'll discuss in a moment, should play an important role in defeating an edged-weapon attack, even when you are able to shoot to defend yourself.
When working with bare-minimum margins, any delay in an officer responding to a deadly threat can equate to injury or death, reinforces attorney and use-of-force trainer Bill Everett, an FSRC National Advisory Board member. So the officer must key his or her reaction to the first overt act indicating that a lethal attack is coming.
More distance and time give the officer not only more tactical options but also more opportunity to confirm the attacker's lethal intention before selecting a deadly force response.
Relying on OC or a Taser for defeating a charging suspect is probably a serious mistake. Gary Klugiewicz, a leading edged-weapon instructor and a member of FSRC's National Advisory Board, points out that firing out Taser barbs may be an effective option in dealing with a threatening but STATIONARY subject. But depending on this force choice to stop a charging suspect could be disastrous.
With fast, on-rushing movement, there's a real chance of not hitting the subject effectively and of not having sufficient time" for the electrical charge--or for a blast of OC--to take effect before he is on you, Klugiewicz says.
Lewinski agrees, adding: A rapid charge at an officer is a common characteristic of someone high on chemicals or severely emotionally disturbed. More research is needed, but it appears that when a Taser isn't effective it is most often with these types of suspects.
Smug remarks about offenders foolishly "bringing a knife to a gunfight" betray dangerous thinking about the ultimate force option, too. Some officers are cockily confident they'll defeat any sharp-edged threat because they carry a superior weapon: their service sidearm. This belief may be subtly reinforced by fixating on distances of 21 or 30 feet, as if this is the typical reaction space you'll have in an edged-weapon encounter.
The truth is that where edged-weapon attacks are concerned, close-up confrontations are actually the norm," points out Sgt. Craig Stapp, a firearms trainer with the Tempe (AZ) P.D. and a member of FSRC's Technical Advisory Board. A suspect who knows how to effectively deploy a knife can be extremely dangerous in these circumstances. Even those who are not highly trained can be deadly, given the close proximity of the contact, the injury knives are capable of, and the time it takes officers to process and react to an assault.
At close distances, standing still and drawing are usually not the best tactics to employ and may not even be possible. At a distance of 10 feet, a subject is less than half a second away from making the first cut on an officer, Lewinski's research shows. Therefore, rather than relying on a holstered gun, officers must be trained in hands-on techniques to deflect or delay the use of the knife, to control it and/or to remove it from the attacker's grasp, or to buy time to get their gun out. These methods have to be simple enough to be learned by the average officer.
Stapp strongly believes that training in edged-weapon defense should prepare an officer to deal psychologically with getting cut or stabbed, a realistic probability with lag time, close encounters and desperate control attempts. Officers need to be trained to continue to fight, Stapp says. They will not have time to stop and assess how severe the wound is. You don't want them in the mind-set, 'I've been cut, I'm going to die.' They must remain focused on stopping the attack, taking out the guy who is the threat to them."
Checking yourself over for injury after the offender is subdued is important, too, Klugiewicz says. "Some survivors of edged-weapon attacks report that they were not aware of being cut or stabbed when the injury occurred. They thought they had just been punched and didn't realize what really happened until later."
Assuming it is presented accurately and in context with the many variables that shape knife encounters, the 21-Foot Rule can be a valuable training aid, Lewinski says. As a role-playing exercise, it provides a dramatic and memorable demonstration of how fast an offender can close distance, and it can motivate officers to improve their performance skills. Experiment with it and you may conclude, like Delgado, that 21 feet is not enough of a safety margin for your troops.
You might also use 21-Foot Rule exercises to test tactical methods for imposing lag time on offenders in order to buy more reaction time for officers. These could range from using or creating obstacles (standing behind a tree or shoving a chair between you and the offender) to moving yourself strategically. You're probably familiar with the Tactical L, for example, in which an officer moves laterally to a charging offender's line of attack. With the right timing, this surprises and slows the attacker as he processes the movement and scrambles to redirect his assault, and gives the officer opportunity to draw and get on target.
Lewinski favors a variation called the Tactical J. Here, instead of moving 90 degrees off line, the officer moves obliquely forward at a 45-degree angle to the oncoming offender. This tends to be more confusing to the suspect and requires more of a radical change on his part to come after you, Lewinski says. But the timing has to be such that the suspect is fully committed to his charge and can't readily adjust to what you've done. That takes lots of practice with a wide variety of training partners.
If nothing else, training with the 21-Foot Rule will help officers better estimate just how far 21 feet is. Without a good deal of practice, most can't accurately gauge that distance, Lewinski says, and thus tend to sabotage appropriate defensive reactions.
Don't forget, though, that most edged-weapon attacks are up close and personal.
That means training must include effective empty-hand-control techniques, close quarters shooting drills and weapon retention. We need to develop the ability to draw our sidearm, get on target and GET HITS extremely fast, while moving as a diversionary measure if possible, says Stapp. Close-range shooting--under 10 feet--will most effectively be accomplished when an officer has developed the ability to get on target 'by feel,' without using his sights.
Lewinski also recommends drills to imprint rapid reholstering techniques. Reholstering may become necessary if there's a sudden change in threat level--say the offender throws his weapon down and is no longer presenting an imminent threat justifying deadly force--and the officer needs both hands free to deal with him.
There's little doubt that the knife culture and related attacks on officers are dangerously flourishing. Edged-weapon assaults are a staple of the news reports of police incidents from across the U.S. and Canada on the website of FSRC's strategic partner, PoliceOne.com. Recently an officer in New York City was slashed in the face during a fight that broke out. On a man-with-a-gun call, in Ohio, a state trooper fatally shot a berserk motorist who charged him with a hatchet. And another offender, who called 911 in Pennsylvania to report he was having a heart attack, ended up shot 13 times and killed after commands and OC failed to stop him from lunging at a trooper with a chain saw. In Calgary (Canada) a blood-soaked man waved a bloody butcher knife over his head and charged at constables who responded to a domestic dispute. A suspected rapist attacked a Chicago detective with a screwdriver after luring him into an interrogation room by asking for a cigarette. In the reception area of a California prison, an inmate serving time for trying to kill a cop stabbed a correctional officer to death with a shank. In Idaho, an out-of-control teenager punched holes in the walls of his house with a 15-inch bayonet, then turned on a responding officer with the blade and sliced his uniform before the cop shot him.
Given today's environment, rather than draw back on edged-weapon training, officers and agencies should be expanding it, Lewinski declares. Edged-weapon attacks are serious and should be taken seriously by trainers, officers and administrators alike. Finding out what works best in the way of realistic tactical defenses and then training those tactics as broadly as possible has never been more needed.

Re: 21 Foot Rule - Valid?
These guys have done a video series, numerous parts, on this exact concept. We already know that the 21 foot rule is invalid for situations where the opponent is already armed, ready to ambush you say in a door ambush or when visual or other obstructions are in the way. The distance can increase or decrease during such scenarios.

Righty Soria continues rehab, feels strong
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Reliever Joakim Soria is scheduled to throw 30 pitches off the mound in the bullpen on Monday. It will be his fourth session since coming to Spring Training, as he continues his rehabilitation program after undergoing Tommy John surgery last April.
"I'm doing very good," Soria said. "This past week, I threw 30 pitches in the bullpen, and it was perfect. No pain or soreness the next day. Everything is going good, which is nice."
This was the second time Soria has had Tommy John surgery. He missed all of the 2002 season while pitching in the Dodgers organization. Recovering from Tommy John generally takes 12 months, but the Rangers are giving him extra time because it's his second one.
Soria is still hoping to be ready by the end of May.
The Rangers signed him to a two-year contract in the winter, after he spent six years with the Royals. Texas and Kansas City share a Spring Training facility, but Soria joked that he is staying away from the other side.
"I went over there before Spring Training to see them, but now we're getting serious," Soria said. "This is my home. I have nothing to do with them. This is my new home."

I sent my map to JPEG, it works but resolution is bad to print it out and even to have it as the image in jpeg.
Thanks a lot.

Resistance and Ratchet & Clank developers Insomniac took to the spotlight at E3 2011 and revealed Overstrike. A game that we've basically not seen since.
Well, it's back, and with a new name, and once I stop thinking it sounds like the name of a racing game, I'm sure everything will be just fine.
This clip, apparently taken from one of the game's briefing sequences, is notable because I can't remember the last time a briefing sequence was worth showing off.

Health risks: Parabens in beauty products
What's in your make-up kit? And how many of those beauty products do you use in a day? Give or take a few products, my usual morning regime involves body lotion, tinted moisturizer, mascara, hair mold, and sometimes bronzer or eyeliner if I'm feeling so inclined. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other women, particularly young women, also reach my daily average.

Schedule a test drive online in Warsaw or Goshen, Indiana. We all need a little help sometimes! Why not book a test drive and see if you like how our used vehicles perform? The handling on vehicles can vary, so you usually need to take it for a spin around the block before you commit to it.
Plus, we have loads of used SUVs for sale at our used car dealer in Goshen, so there's no rush! You can sift through our dealership lots online and make a selection. We also recommend that you apply for financing ahead of time and see if you can walk on our lot with a pre-approval––it will make things easier for you!

Use for unloading trucks and moving pallets and other loads. Electric, propane, diesel, or gasoline engines. Cushion or pneumatic tires. Electric units do not release emissions and work well where ventilation is poor. Internal combustion forklifts (propane, gasoline, and diesel) will generate more power than electric trucks and move faster over long distances. Propane forklifts can be used indoors where there is some ventilation.
Capacities range from 3,000 lbs. - 100,000 lbs.
Use for unloading trucks and moving pallets and other loads. Mainly indoor, warehouse or other smooth surface use where maneuverability and space requirements make four-wheel trucks inefficient. Good for narrow aisle use.
Capacities range from 3,000 pounds to 5,000 pounds.
Use to rack pallets on smooth surfaces. Single-reach trucks can extend the distance of one pallet. Double-reach trucks can extend the distance of two pallets. Outriggers on the front of the forklift support the weight of the load. Can reach heights in excess of 33 feet.
Capacities range from 2,500 pounds to 5,500 pounds.
Use for rider to stand on an elevating platform along with forks so rider may rise to select load. Used in very narrow aisles.
Capacities are typically 3,500 pounds.
Masts of units rotate 90 degrees; use to pick load from either side without truning the base of the forklift. Use in very narrow aisled and employ a rotating mast.
Capacities range from 3,000 pounds to 8,000 pounds.
Use as an economical solution for transporting loads short distances. Walk-behind or ride-on. Fork length is usually 48" but some are double-long for loading two pallets. Forks, or tines, rise slightly off the ground. Wheels are solid. Walk-behind units may be equipped with a mast, and sometimes are used to raise loads onto racking.
Use for quick loading and unloading of trucks, in conditions where rider frequently needs to mount and dismount. Primarily used indoors and on smooth surfaces. Powered by electric. Good for both standard and narrow aisle use.
Capacities range from 3,000 pounds to 5,500 pounds.

Star Spangled Crayons
Breathe new life into old crayons with a star shaped mold by transforming them into something new festive and fun with this easy activity (just in time for the 4th of July). These adorable shaped chunky crayons make great party favors or toss them in a bag along with some paper for those long summer road trips with your Little Pnuts
What You Will Need:
- Old (or new) Crayons
- Star Shaped Silicon Cupcake Molds (often found at your local craft store)
- Paper
Peel and break your crayons. Your Little Pnut will love helping with this. Although sometimes it can be a little tricky to get the paper off, It's a great way for little hands to work on dexterity and fine motor skills. Once all the crayons are peeled have your Little Pnut break them into little bits.
Next have your Little Pnut distribute the crayon pieces into the molds. We made Red White & Blue stars in honor of the upcoming holiday by placing pieces from various shades of blue and red crayons together along with a few pieces of white crayon just for fun. Be creative. You could make solid colors or mix them in a variety of ways.
Bake your crayons in a 250 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Ours actually took slightly less (more like 18 minutes). You want to check your crayons frequently while they are baking and pull them out just at the point when all the pieces have completely melted. If you let them go too long you'll end up with a waxy soup and all the colors will meld together too much (not very pretty).
When your crayons are cool pop them out of the molds. The silicon molds will pretty much just peel off making removing the crayons pretty easy. However, if you need a little extra help, put mold in the freezer for 5-10min and then the crayons should just pop right out. Now all that's left is to color and create. Give your Little Pnut the crayons and some paper and let the creativity flow! Chunky crayons like this are not only fun to make and create with, but they are perfect for those little learning hands of even the littlest of Pnuts to hold.
Note: Don't worry if you can't find star shaped molds. These crayons are just as much fun made in a regular old muffin tin too!
Try a Fun Variation
Try experimenting using solar power to melt your crayons like we did HERE
Happy Playing!
Developmental Milestones:
This activities focuses on the following Developmental Milestones for your Little Pnuts:
Fine Motor Skills, Focus and Concentration, Color Recognition, Shape Recognition, Hand-Eye Coordination, Creative Play, Imaginative Play & Free Play.—Jennifer Haas, founder of Plain Vanilla Mom.

This is our Classic sockITz model in a black and aluminum look finish with twin USB charging sockets.
The original powepoints with usb ports and still the best. Now in its second generation.
Please note the aluminium is a painted aluminium finish that wont rust. We are currently working on a real aluminium faceplate that will be interchange with the plastic one.
This Classic black and aluminium is the second generation of our sockITz range which combines an Australian Standard dual 240v power socket with twin USB powered charging outlets for charging mobile devices which have been on the market since 2010
The twin USB powered 5 Volt ports are perfect for charging current mobile phones, including the iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S, ipads, ipods, other mp3 players, GPS navigation devices, cameras etc. No longer do you need those bulky charging transformers that take up too much room on the socket or go missing. With sockITz your device plugs straight into the USB socket on the power point and leaves the two 240V plugs free for your normal home appliances.
All our sockITz range are direct replacements to the standard Australian double power point. So no messy wiring issues however we do recommend a qualified electrical contractor does the swap for you. Can be installed in minutes!
Our sockITz are all environmentally friendly with ZERO phantom leakage that is normally associated with charging transformers. Once the retractable doors close after charging the power to the charging module is cut.
Has your household got multiple iphones or ipods? Kids always taking the chargers? Always searching for the charger? Solve the battle and replace a few of your power points with sockITz for the kitchen bench, bedside the bed, in the bathroom or office.
Twin 5V USB outputs. 17.5 Watt / 3.5 Amps shared
Click and drag your mouse left or right in the window below to view the classic sockITz on different angles
Optional NFC smart sockITz enabled.
You can now upgrade your sockITz to a NFC enabled smart sockITz. Sounds interesting tell me more.
More and more phones and tablet devices contain NFC chips, NFC stands for Near field communications (think pay wave, the technology that allows you pay with a wave of your credit card. It is a two way communication between a phone an another device like our smart sockITz that can activate your phone to do a pre-assigned task whenever the two devices are 5 to 8cm apart.
Imagine getting home from work and waving your phone over your smart sockITz which automatically sets your phone to silent or diverts all calls to message bank, or when you head off to bed, wave your phone over the sockITz near your bed and your phone automatically adjusts screen brightness to lowest setting, sets your alarm for the morning and switches to silent.

Oxnard & Woodland Hills Bankruptcy Attorney Dedicated to Finding Your Debt Solutions
The bankruptcy attorneys at Raichelson Law, P.C. provide the experience, legal knowledge and personalized service that gives the people of Ventura County and Los Angeles County the debt relief they need. In the current economy, we understand how hardworking people can still struggle with their finances. A sudden illness, loss of a job, divorce or any number of unfortunate events outside of someone's control is all it takes to put years of sound financial planning in disarray. Our focus is on providing debt relief solutions that give our clients a fresh start and the tools they need to handle life after bankruptcy.
Committed Oxnard bankruptcy lawyers and Ventura tax debt attorneys
Firm founder Michael H. Raichelson has more than twenty-three years of experience as an attorney in California and provides individualized advice and representation in the following areas:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy — We can help you use Chapter 7 bankruptcy to get a fresh start while hanging on to as many of your assets as possible.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy — If you are struggling with debt, but uncomfortable with the idea of liquidating your assets, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide the solution you need.
- Chapter 11 bankruptcy — Businesses that have assumed too much debt and too many fiscal obligations may benefit from reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
- Business bankruptcy — We assist businesses of all types throughout Los Angeles and Ventura counties in considering and implementing their business bankruptcy options.
- Bankruptcy alternatives — Bankruptcy is a big decision. That is why we help clients in considering the full range of bankruptcy alternatives.
- Foreclosure defense — If you have fallen behind on mortgage payments for your home or place of business, our Northridge attorneys can provide foreclosure defense to help you keep your property longer.
- Tax debt — We know the interplay between bankruptcy and tax law and can help you understand what types of tax debt are dischargeable.
- Loan modification — We can help you work with lenders to manage your payments without resorting to bankruptcy through effective loan modification.
- Credit card debt — Because it is one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the United States, our attorneys understand how to help clients deal with credit card debt.
- Wage garnishment — If your wages are being garnished because of back taxes, court judgments or other non-domestic debt, we can help you exercise your options.
- Creditor rights — Our attorneys use their substantial debt and bankruptcy experience to protect creditor rights during debt negotiations and bankruptcy proceedings.
Our Oxnard & Woodland Hills bankruptcy attorneys guide you through the bankruptcy process and beyond, demystifying these complex proceedings and ensuring that federal bankruptcy laws are understandable to you. The process begins with an in-depth study of your finances, during which our attorneys explain the various options you have in debt relief, including Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy and other forms of debt settlement. If we decide that personal bankruptcy is the best option to get you back on your feet, our attorneys ensure that you are informed every step of the way and ready to make sound decisions that preserve your financial future.
California Bankruptcy can stop creditor harassment and foreclosures
When people find themselves struggling with crushing debt or delinquent and unpaid bills, they may understandably be avoiding creditors or hoping they somehow go away or forget about the debt. These problems usually get worse with time, especially if you ignore them. When you ask Raichelson Law, P.C. for help, you are taking action to put your life back on track and put the financial problems of the past behind you. Hiring a Ventura bankruptcy attorney to help you file for bankruptcy can stop creditor harassment immediately. The phone calls stop, as do attempts at repossession, wage garnishments or foreclosure. Personal bankruptcy can give you breathing room as you take control of your future.

Summer vacation has officially started at our house. Just finished Day #2 yesterday. Day #1 consisted in part of extracting a sliver from the foot of a 5-yr-old (always an adventure), a trip to the Doctor for another kid that I thought had pink eye (just allergies, fortunately) and the discovery that the neighbor kids along our street have the stomach flu! I guess we're officially off and running!
My projects have relocated to the kitchen table so that I can be along side the Moon Sand action (or Playdoh, water colors, legos, perler beads, what have you) and I can more readily heed the on going call for popsicles.
I have to admit, I've been slightly petrified for summer vacation to start. Last summer I nearly checked myself into the funny farm. I've adjusted schedules, routines and expectations this year for the kids, but mainly for myself and I think it will make a difference. The main difference is that I want to do better about living in the moment.
One thing I am going to do differently this summer is blog less. Or at least more simply. I tried to keep blogging as usual last summer and it was too much for me and my family. I know I won't totally abandon blogging because I like to sew in the summer and I know I'll want to share. But the posts will be simpler and fewer. Which is probably a win-win for everyone since I think everybody is just busier in the summer whether it's kids, gardens & yard work, vacations, shop-hops, and those iron-woman triathalons you've all entered. So really, you have less time to read my mindless drivel anyway! But we'll still hang out and catch-up from time to time. This will just give us all a little more time to run though the sprinklers and eat Popsicles if we feel so inclined.
I'm going to try to keep up on emails and such, but if I get a little stinkier than usual at that, you'll know why. Please feel free to pester me again if I don't get back to you right away.
PS Thanks SO much for the Soul Blossom Quilt love. I'm working on the kits and the patterns this week. I will post when they are available to order. Thanks again!
