score. The main issue I have with this paper is that it makes speculative claims that are not adequately supported, but tries to pass them off as conclusive. Some examples include: (*) Phrases such as - "" (Abstract) - "MomentumRNN is principled with theoretical guarantees provided by the momentum-accelerated dynamical system for optimization and sampling" (Contributions) - and several more throughout the paper are examples of misleading language in my opinion. (*) I mentioned concerns with the related work and background in the original review, which were not addressed in the author response. (*) The paper frequently mentions demonstrating that "based on our experiments, the acceleration from momentum is preserved". This was *not* demonstrated -- empirically faster convergence is not equatable to acceleration in an optimization sense. It is better to use precise language to separate what you have shown (an architecture with faster convergence) and what you are hypothesizing (it is related to momentum acceleration). As presented, I am not convinced of the latter connection. I think it's fine to say that your method is *inspired* by momentum, but in my opinion the paper implies a much stronger connection that is not substantiated by the theoretical and empirical results. I currently remain unconvinced that the proposed method's improvements are related to momentum at all. There are plenty of simpler explanations, as also offered by Reviewers 3 and 4, which should at least be discussed and ideally ablated. Ultimately, I see this paper as posing an interesting possible connection, but one that is currently speculative and not ready for publication. Aside from the overall writing, I have a few more detailed suggestions for improving the paper. (*) Although the paper positions itself in the space of "addressing the vanishing gradient issue in RNNs", this area is notably absent from the related work. For example, there are numerous such papers which operate on similar principled foundations, are much simpler, and perform better than the complicated models such as AdamLSTM proposed here. See e.g. [1, 2, 3] on PMNIST. These models are not difficult to implement, and it would be more convincing to use a more SOTA model instead of, or in addition to, the dtriv model used here. Other reviewers have also provided other connections and references. [1] Tallec, Olliver. Can RNNs Warp Time? [2] Gu et al. Improving the Gating Mechanism of RNNs [3] Voelker et al. Legendre Memory Units (*) Because I am not convinced that the benefits of the MomentumRNN cell come from momentum per se, the other cells like RMSPropLSTM/AdamLSTM seem very convoluted to me. The experimental results for them are not very convincing: the cell is so complicated that there are many uncontrolled architecture changes, which would benefit from an ablation study. (*) The authors claim that they "theoretically prov" (Abstract), but there is no formal statement, much less a proof. As said in my initial review, the theory section merely concludes that "a \mu exists" without justification. Since \mu is the important momentum hyperparameter -- the main addition that this work proposes -- there is an opportunity to flesh out the theory and connect it to experiments. The fact that 2 out of 3 of the datasets are best when \mu is set to 0 is suspicious, and deserves further explanation. Regardless of whether this paper is accepted, I sincerely hope this feedback is useful to the authors and helps them refine the paper.
Strengths: - The explanation of the method is clear - The experimental results, including table and figures, are easy to understand - The method shows decent performance on the benchmarks, especially on the TIMIT task
Weaknesses: I have substantial concerns with the stated motivation and claims of the paper. Overall, the motivation and pitch of the paper imply a deeper connection to optimization that seems misguided at best, and the analysis, experiments, and baselines could be improved. - The authors main source of justification of the method is the claim that it is principled based on analogies to optimization methods. However, the analogies do not seem appropriate in this context in many ways, from the setting to the implementation details. As just one example, the additional linear and non-linear transformations (multiplication by U and a $\sigma$ nonlinearity, as in line 104) applied after the "momentum step" drastically alter the dynamics compared to momentum in optimization. The motivation, and even the name of the proposed method, feel misleading, supported only by a tenuous connection without deeper analysis. - The theory of the method is quite weak. The theoretical (Section 2.3) and empirical (Figure 2) analysis is with respect to a vanilla RNN, which is a poor baseline and as the authors note there are countless other works that address vanishing gradients. The analysis concludes that "there is an appropriate choice of \mu that can alleviate vanishing gradients", but this seems unsubstantiated; given the (implicit) constraint that $\mu$ is between 0 and 1, and the fact that $\Sigma_k$ can vary per timestep, it is not obvious that an appropriate choice of $\mu$ exists. - Additionally, the datasets used are quite toy, and lack any of the numerous baselines in the RNN family of methods besides the LSTM. For example, there are many similar RNN extensions that outperform this method on the MNIST/PMNIST benchmarks.
Correctness: The methods and experimental protocol seem correct. However, the claimed connection to optimization methods are not supported.
Clarity: The paper is overall well-written and easy to understand
Relation to Prior Work: The paper brings up many lines of related work. However, some of them seem less relevant (e.g. Langevin/Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and other optimization theory), while many of the more directly relevant works on improving long-term dependencies in RNNs are not discussed.
Additional Feedback: It seems clear to me that the improvements are not from a magical connection to momentum in optimization, but simply from the addition of linear combination of updates $v_t = \mu v_{t-1} + s W x_t$, which add additive ("residual") connections to the state $v_t$ that allow gradients to backpropagate more easily. This is exactly analogous to the motivation of the gated update $c_t = f c_{t-1} + i h_t$ of the cell state of LSTMs, where $\mu, s$ take the role of the forget and input gates $f, i$. In fact, the main momentum cell (equation (8) or (10)) looks very similar to a LSTM with slight rewiring between the cell/hidden state, where $v_t$ plays the role of the cell state; the improvements of MomentumLSTM can be explained by its usage of multiple layers of linear "cell" states. These sorts of gating techniques and variants (e.g. a plethora of linear dynamics incorporated into RNNs) and their benefits for vanishing gradients has been well-studied, but the paper lacks a discussion and basic comparisons against such closely related and well-known methods. I believe such connections are obfuscated by the analogies to optimization. Simply incorporating a standard linear recurrence $v_t = \mu v_{t-1} + s W x_t$ does not beget a connection to momentum or other optimization principles.
Weaknesses: The new method requires additional parameters and fine-tuning of hyperparameters. Why this framework provides the aforementioned improvements is not clear. (Both of these points are mentioned in the conclusions by the authors as well)
Correctness: The claims seem correct, the empirical methodology in how the experiments were done and described are sound. An ablation study was also done for all 3 benchmarks.

To an outsider watching The Girls Next Door, life inside the Playboy Mansion seemed like a silicone-enhanced sorority (or perhaps a silicone-enhanced Sister Wives). But to nobody's surprise, Mansion living had a seamy underbelly. I recently caught up with former Playboy Bunny Holly Madison, whose new book Down the Rabbit Hole (HarperCollins) reveals what went on behind the gates. Some of it wasn't pretty, but in our interview, Madison focused on the blonde and bouncy aspects and shared some outrageous beauty moments
Hair seems to be a big deal at the Mansion. How far did that go? "For a long time I was the only girl with natural waist-length hair. All of the other girls wore extensions. But when a new girl auditioning for Playmate showed up with waist-length hair, I decided I would cut mine. I always loved Marilyn Monroe and the old-Hollywood look, so I used that as inspiration and went shorter. Hugh had such a bad reaction to it. He was really mean to me when he saw it. I cried for days."
Did all the girls have to be blonde? "They didn't explicitly demand it, but it was more that they suggested we were busty blondes with bright-blonde hair. Hugh wanted white, white hair, with no pigment; so we would shuttle to José Eber salon once a week for touch-ups. Bridget was the only one who didn't go white blonde. She was the only person who didn't really go to the extremes. We would all try hard to differentiate ourselves, but Hugh really wanted us the same. There was so little I was actually allowed to do in the Mansion; so much time was spent on how we looked. We were all competing with one another."
What extremes would the girls go to in the name of beauty? "Plastic surgery. Hugh would pay if someone wanted it, so there was almost always someone in the house in recovery."
What happened on the day of a Mansion party? "Preparing took an entire day. In the morning, we would go to the salon to get our hair colored, get a deep-conditioning treatment, blowout, and style. Then nails, hair, tan, spend an hour or so on makeup, and before you knew it the whole day would be gone."
What were the parties like? "The parties were interesting and fun. They were almost holidays for the Mansion. I always liked to see what would people wear and who would come. They weren't crazy like you might expect. We would be expected to sit with Hef at his table for the entire time. It was heavily discouraged sneaking off on your own to socialize."
What does your beauty routine look like now? "It's changed a lot. I don't like to spend a lot of time on my beauty routine anymore. I usually put aside an hour before red-carpet events, and I typically do my own hair and makeup. My look doesn't deviate too much now. It changes a little depending on what I'm wearing, but it's definitely nothing like it once was. I do still love my extensions, though."

982 F2d 528 Bonacci v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue 982 F.2d 528
Joseph A. BONACCITACHA and McWILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and EARL E. O'CONNOR, District Judge.*
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue ("IRS") notified petitioner-appellant Bonacci ("taxpayer") that he owed fethe years 1979 through 1984. Ta IRS's determinations. Following trial, the Tax Court entered a decision on December 8, 1989 sustaining the income tax deficiencies and additions to tax. The Tax Court denied the taxpayer's motion to vacate the decision on January 26, 1990.
Mr. Bonacci6, 1990. The District of Columbia Circuit granted an IRS motion to transfer the appeal to this court on December 5, 1991. On appeal, Taxpayer requests a new trial, claiming violations of his right to meaningful access to the courts and his right to cross examine a witness--IRS Special Agent Larry Burnett. We exercise jurisdiction under 26 U.S.C. § 7482(a) and affirm.
Taxpayer979 through 1983. An oted petitioner's activities from 1983 until June, 1985, when it presented its information to a grand jury. The task force consisted of agents from the IRSvarious state and local agencies. A grand jury indicted the taxpayer on June 27, 1985. On June 28, 1985t that was supported by two affidavits, one of which was prepared by Agent Burnett. After the search warrant was executed on July 1, 1985, the taxpayer's seized records were made available to the IRS.
On July 8, 1985, the IRS mailed the taxpayer a notice of jeopardy assessment for the years 1979 through 1984. On July 10, 1985, a grand jury issued a second indictment. Taxpayer was arrested and detained in a Utah jail when the IRS issued its statutory notice of deficiency on September 4, 1985. Taxpayer petitioned the Tax Court for review on November 29, 1985. On January 9, 1986, Bonacci pled guilty to four counts of the two indictments, including two counts for illegal possession and distribution of drugs. He received a ten-year sentence and was incarcerated in Texas. He was transferred from Texas to Utah to attend the Tax Court trial.
When the taxpayer's trial began on January 8, 1987, he appeared pro se and asserTexas prison provided him inadequate access to his own files, a law library, a telephone, a typewriter, and visitors. The court continued the trial until March 11, 1987 to give Mr. Bonacci time to prepare and told him to notify the court if he had trouble accessing his documents or otherwise preparing his case.
Before the trial adjourned, however, the IRS called three witnesses. The first witness was Agent Burnett. After Burnett gave his name, business address, and length of employment with the IRS, the court interrupted and indicated it would prefer that the IRS proceed with witnesses from out of state or those whose testimony would help Mr. Bonacci evaluate settlement prospects. The court indicated that Mr. Bonacci could postpone his cross-examination until the trial resumed. FBI Special Agent Brent Palmer was not called to testify.
After the trial recessed in January, the taxpayer was incarcerated in Oklahoma until the trial resumed. During this interim period, the taxpayer moved to exclude the testimony of Agents Burnett and Palmer. When the trial resumed on March 11, 1987, Bonacci inquired about the status of his motion. The court responded:
With regard to witnesses Palmer and Burnett, we will address the relevancy of their testimony, the appropriateness of their testimony, if and when they are called during the course of the trial. You can object at the time they are called, if they are called, and state your grounds therefor at that time.
Mr. Bonacci argues first that he was denied access to the courts because of the conditions of his incarceration while he was preparing for trial. In particular, the taxpayer claims that he was denied adequate access to his own records, a copy machine, and a telephone to make noncollect calls.
It is well establish(1977); Ramos v. Lamm, 639 F.2d 559, 583This right encompasses all the means required for a fair hearing. Nordgren v. Milliken, 762 F.2d 851, 853, cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1032 (1985). The record indicates that none of the taxpayer's rights were violated. The judge continued the trial to allow the taxpayer more time to review his own records and prepare for trial. During the interim period before the trial resumed, some of the taxpayer's documents were mailed to Oklahoma where he was incarcerated and other documents were in his daughter's custody and could have been mailed to him. After the trial resumed, the court arranged for Bonacci's relevant documents to be copied and allowed Bonacci to submit documents after the trial to supplement the file. The taxpayer filed several motions and received a full and fair hearing at which he called a number of witnesses and filed several exhibits.
Taxpayer alsoAgent Burnett. The IRS did not recall Burnett, who was attending a training session in Georgia, when the trial resumed in March. The court declined to continue the trial and schedule another hearing where Burnett could be questioned. Taxpayer apparently wanted to elicit testimony about whether Burnettgrand jury testimony in violation of Fed.R.Crim.P. 6(e). In place of Agent Burnett, the IRS called FBI Agent Palmer to testify about the 6(e) allegations. Palmer had been the lead agent in the organized crime drug enforcement task force and had presented the task force's information to the grand jury. He testifiedfor Bonacci's home were based entirely rior to the grand jury rather than information obtained through the grand jury. Taxpayer cross-examined Agent Palmer about the 6(e) allegations and recalled him the next day for further questioning limits of cross-examination,.1971), cert. denied, 404 U.S. 1021 (1972), and deciding to grant or deny a continuance, Scott v. Reynolds, 975 F.2d 1473, 1475 (10th Cir.1992). The judge did not abuse his discretion in this case where: (1) he determined the evidence was legally irrelevant, (2) Agent Burnett never gave substantive testimony on direct examination, (3) Agent Palmer testified to the relevant issue and was cross-examined by the taxpayer, and (4) the taxpayer had already moved to exclude Burnett's testimony.
The judgment of the Tax Court is AFFIRMED and Appellant's request for a new trial is DENIED.

- The speed of sound is approximately 768 miles per hour. When an object travels faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. And there's actually a whole video on how sonic booms are created, on Khan Academy. I encourage you to watch it, it is actually fascinating. But anyway, back to this question. Write an inequality to represent, s, the speeds at which a moving object creates a sonic boom. So we'll start an inequality, we'll do what they told us to. S, let's see. S has to be, they say when an object travels faster than the speed of sound. So our speed has to be greater than the speed of sound. Our speed has to be greater than the speed of sound, which is 768 miles per hour, so s has to be set greater than 768. Now another way we could have written that is that 768 needs to be less than s. We could have written 768 needs to be less than s. That's another way we could write it. In either case, our speed is going to be greater than 768 miles per hour. We check our answer. Let's do a few more of these. To cook a steak to medium-rare, it needs to have an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. A lower internal temperature will undercook the steak. Write an inequality to represent all of the possible temperatures, t, of an undercooked steak. Well, to be an undercooked steak your temperature is going to be less than 135 degrees. So your temperature, t, is going to be less than. You could either just use the less than on your keyboard, or you could click over here on less than. Your temperature is going to be less than 135. We're assuming your temperature is in Fahrenheit degrees. So your temperature needs to be less than Fahrenheit, less then 135 degrees, if you are going to have an undercooked steak. So, you got that one right. Let's do a couple more. Or one, let's do one more. Simone is going snowboarding tomorrow if the temperature is equal to or colder than five degrees celsius. Write an inequality to represent the temperatures at which Simone will go snowboarding. So you might want to say "Oh, well "maybe you know that t is less than five degrees." Remember, they're telling us that the temperature is equal to or colder, so she's even willing to go snowboarding if it's less than or equal to five degrees. So instead of just saying less than, let's say less than or, whoops. Let's say less than or equal to five degrees. So this inequality represented here, this shows us all of the temperatures at which she is willing to go snowboarding. We check our answer and we got it right.


Sporting KC Draws 1-1 With Houston Dynamo

Mr. Carlson was animated. He made George Milton sharp and irritated. He adapted Lennie in a slow and childish way. It was like watching a one-person play, and the story came to life as he read it.
The next day I overheard a group of kids talking about Mr. Carlson in the hallway. One boy was louder than the rest as he sneered and mocked Mr. Carlson's rendition of Lennie Small. Suddenly a hush fell over the group, and, frowning, the boy spun around to discover that Mr. Carlson was standing quietly behind him. The boy's eyes went wide and The teacher didn't say a word. He just looked at the students for a moment, and then turned his back to go into the classroom.
His passion spurred my own, and Mr. Carlson is a huge reason I love literature today.
Did you have a Mr. Carlson? </s>


but Wiley really likes it and wanted me to see it!
Thanks for the tour, Wiley!We are so proud of you!
After preschool, we had some lunch and then we headed over to the airport to watch a few planes come and go. We were lucky to see the largest plane that comes in and out of Long Beach, getting ready to take off. Wiley was so excited. These planes are so large that they all but stop traffic on the 405 when they pass overhead. They are very loud and they look like a flying hotel!I'm not sure what was so special about this one, but as soon as it started heading for the runway, people got out of cars with cameras and ladders. Seriously!These pictures don't really capture just how large they really are!
Each plane costs 200 Million Dollars!
There are 212 in service right now!
(In case you were wondering where some of your tax money is going!
How would you like to look up and see this heading your direction?
The unique thing about them is that they can land on a 3,000 foot long paved or unpaved airfield. They can air drop 102 Paratroopers with their equipment, including a 70 ton M1 Abrams tanks. It requires only 3 people to operate, a pilot, a copilot and a loadmaster. They are actually manufactured here in Long Beach. Pretty amazing!Thanks to my Hubby for all the extra info. He enjoys reading about these kinds of things!

Staff took more ownership when they could see the changes they had requested take place almost in real-time. The methodology put our Web developer through some significant changes. Part of what makes him a great developer is the ability to take “as long as it takes” to solve problems well. Now we were telling him that every 4-6 weeks the development cycle would close down. He was free to tell us what he couldn’t get done in that time, but he had to deliver usable code at the end of each cycle. There was initial resistance, but I think that he is also enjoying the cycles now. He gets more variety, and he knows that he doesn’t have to solve everything now. He has to solve enough so that staff can get their hands on a new iteration. There will always be more iterations - new chances to rethink, refactor, improve, and move on.
A lightweight Fedora installation ‘in the cloud’
- EC2: Elastic Compute Cloud - click a button and add extra servers, bandwidth as needed. This is as close to metered server power as we get right now. Fedora is running on EC2
Working with The MediaShelf was a pleasure. There were more bugs than expected and the project was not completed in the originally projected two month span. Even Agile development can be imperfectly predictable. At one point we discovered that Fedora 3 (F3) choked on large-ish files. There was a digression while The MediaShelf folks fixed F3, checked it in to Fedora Commons, and then resumed work on our installation. To us, the ability to work in this fashion (immediately fix the bugs and check them in to the main code repository vs. wait for the next release of a commercial application, which might or might not address our issues) is also one of the reasons we treasure open source development. The resulting application (just now in the final bugfix phase) has the double advantage that it has a well-constructed user interface (UI) and works exactly as our Digital Archivist specified.
First, we learned that we were right. It is possible to build a useful, lightweight repository based on Fedora Commons code for relatively little money. Because we did it using open source tools, the next group will be able to do the same for even less - conceivably, for anyone with our ideas of a good UI and our single content model, a useful repository can be had just by downloading and installing RubyFedora/ActiveFedora.
As one aspect of the project, we have a new search engine, the open source Lucene/SOLR package installed. It will take another project, however, before this is usefully customized for our Web site. Just as Fedora doesn’t do much useful

New to O'Hare's American Airlines terminal, there are now water bottle refill stations as you walk down the corridor to the H/K gates (towards the food court and Admiral's Club). It's on the right, before Macaroni Grill, built into the wall. It dispenses a steady stream...


 Okay, got that out of my system. Seems I run into that a lot.  I should learn to get over that.
I think you should learn to do what I should learn to do… ask for their attention.
I tried that. I got it too. For about a minute.
Which means that they WANT to do better. I keep getting told that I should ask… and keep asking. It’s really hard, but I’m going to try.
Why should you ask for their attention? After all, they want a game from you.
If that fails you could alway demand pandemonium.
Ah, so reverse psychology?
Is there anything we can’t link to TV Tropes? 😉 On a side-note, I’ve never heard of that particular phrase before(the trope, sure, but not by the name they gave it) until last week when I stumbled upon it by accident. Otherwise you’d be the first one to point me to it.
But the “it’s an old joke” side-note doesn’t seem to make much sense to me in that context, so i wonder if it could be something else he means.
I’m assuming it’s mostly because I’m just not American, not due to the availability status of a particular movie(not that I’ve watched many Disney films anyway). While I’ve picked up all kinds of stuff from movies, shows and the internet, it’s still not the “whole experience”, same a tourist spending a month in a country doesn’t truly understand it, no matter what new gods/drugs they discovered there.
You can, kind of paradoxically, find it in Walt Disney World in the Splash Mountain attraction, which tells the same story, only with no actual (direct) reference to either the movie or the book.
Wasn’t Song of the South that White Suprematist racist movie?
This is 4.o. Which means only characters with a good passive perception will notice. Or rather minor passive perception.
A cleric is bound to have at least medium, and usually high, PER due to his high WIS. In fact it seems harder to give a rogue high PER without compromising its build than it is for a cleric, or at least that’s what I saw in the short time I played 4e.
Oh, and a “monk”, or whatever she’s supposed to be, would also have naturally high WIS.
This raises a question, Kevin, given that the requirements for classes and bonuses for races have changed markedly between 3.5e and 4e, did they update their characters’ builds too? Would be kinda hard to play effectively without it.
You’re telling me a cheating munchkin like Martin didn’t realize he needed to do some major tweaks when changing game versions?
In 3.5 Spot and Listen (which would both be appropriate in this situation) were still Wisdom based skills. So not terribly different there between 3.5 and 4e. In both versions, monks and clerics would get their naturally high Wisdom bonus to the check.
I know, that just goes to show both of them should have better scores anyway. However it was also addressed at the unconscious rogue supposedly having better PER.
Believe it or not, all of this is accounted for. However, since this is a COMIC and not an actual game, I feel in no way obligated to show you more than an occasional peek behind the curtain. I will say that yes, Martin would certainly have considered the “necessary” alterations to his and Fleece’s characters. However, as has been previously mentioned, Fleece is unconscious.
You know that’s the only thing munchkins ever care about in comics/books.
I’m not a true munchkin(semi-perfectionist, yes, but I’ll never bother like those people calculating DPS with every imaginable gear/spell) though, it just occurred to me that the question of them updating their stats(and gear, I suppose) in the transition to 4e never came up, AFAIK, so I had to ask. Not terribly important to me what their stats are, just wondered if they changed them on the way.
And that raises the question of how troublesome is it to actually change your group’s 3/3.5e party to suit the new demands, system and play-style of 4e? Sounds like you’d have to rebuild it from scratch(especially all the new powers each level), so do you think it’s actually worth it to change versions or just carry on with the “obsolete” one? Personally I can’t think of a good enough reason to change mid-campaign. Too much trouble.
Consider that She was originally a fighter, who was Retconned into a monk. the DM might have let her keep her Fighter Stats (Wis = Dump Stat) while just giving her arbitrary monk powers.
That is exactly what happened, Elfguy. Fleece is not the “official” monk from the rules. She only has one actual class ability… but it’s a doozy.
I played a group through the change once. We did have to recreate everyone’s characters, but it was pretty easy. There was only one player who didn’t like it, but in truth she was a pretty severe complainer who had decided that she wasn’t going to like it months before we actually changed over.
The Dwarf Cleric must have just rolled REALLY bad…do Dwarves get bonuses to spot secret doors in 4.0 like the V1.0 Stonework Knowledge ability they had?
They have +2 racial bonus to Dungeoneering, I think, but I’m not sure what it actually does because I never paid much attention to that skill.
I think you meant to say “Freya” and not “Fleece”.
I’ve given up deciphering your short comments to some of my posts. They’re mostly just too vague and incomplete, like this one is.
Huh, I know what a brazil nut and peanut, but what is a wally nut?
He’s a walnut.
I saw it coming, but still funny. Heh. Coming.
Works better when told in person. During the pause before you deliver the punchline, you can usually see the person’s brow furrow briefly as they try to reconcile “chin” with “nuts” per the pattern established by the previous two questions and answers.
You forgot to do that in “Ye Olde English” accent.
Nah, more of a Scottish Rastafarian accent, actually.
I meant written “accent” which isn’t really an a change of the tone of speech but trying to make words sound archaic by replacing “s” with “th” and sticking “e” at the ends of certain words etc. Not to be confused with actual phonetic accent like some dwarven clerics are inclined to use.
have those goblins been playing splinter cell?
They can’t be ninjas- they’re not even wearing the official ninja outfit.
How much thought do you actually put into rules and which edition they are playing when you write the comic Kevin? Seems like people are always calling that into question, as any real gamer would, but I’m curious if it even occurs to you while you sit down and write/draw the comic or if you’re just going for what you find amusing at the time. Somehow I picture you drawing it saying to yourself “Roll for damage. You missed your spot check. What applies here, 3.5 or 4E?” DM stuff.
The strip was 3.5 when it started, and switched to 4.0 around number 297 or so.
To be honest, I don’t directly think of the game in regards to the story, but I consider it constantly when I’m thinking about jokes. The story is about the characters, but the setting is kind of a ridiculous place for a story to be taking place, which can make it funny. I bend a lot of rules and just throw some away completely, but this is also the way I play my actual game, so it’s not all that different. The game should never get in the way of the fun. Or the funny.
People ask about the rules all the time because it’s a common element they have and understand, and it gives them an easy in to identify with the comic. It’s not a bad thing, but you can get bogged down in it you let it continue unabated, and that is REALLY not what I’m here for. Ultimately a comic and a gamet that way.
Speaking of nitpicking, should I write it as 4e or 4.0e given that there’s no 4.5e and the previous “whole numbers” versions are without the decimal points(e.g 1&2&3 vs just 3.5)? Is there an official way to write it?
Most people seem to write it as 4e.
However, I’ve heard that some capitalize the ‘e’ if they’re referring to anything to do with D&D Essentials.
Are you kidding? That would have totally had all the geeks hooked!
I’m still wondering about the Wish/Invisibility ring…is Fleece still carrying it? Could make the dialog here very Ironic if Fleece winds up using it for exactly what Martin was calling “Stupid”…by bringing HIM back to life.
He’s a munchkin, of course he knows how to phrase a wish.
What exactly is Fleece doing in panel 2? Checking her heart rate?
Lying on the floor unconscious presumably…Freya does, however, appear to be checking her heartrate or something.
She’s obviously trying to seduce Morty. At the last panel he even admits he’s very hungry, and NOT for nuts(I could go into what body part nuts represent, the intimate, close companionship of a shared meal and Freya’s hints at her elevated heart rate due to erotic excitement, but I guess I just did).
I really need some sleep now.

He tried to escape mathematics until he reached university when he realized that mathematics can actually open many doors for him, so he enrolled at the Faculty of Economics of the West University of Timisoara. He has been, since 2010, in The Netherlands and, here, he studied urban and logistics (harbours and transportation) economics at the Erasmus School of Economics. Currently, Cosmin works in sales. His greatest passion is painting, an activity that represents, for him, a way towards self-motivation and development of creativity.
At the beginning, I needed a one-year pre-master studies in economics and business, so as to align and extend my know-how on math, finance, applied statistics, and microeconomics. I did my master at the Erasmus School of Economics, under a program on urban economics and logistics (harbours and transportation) which was my initial intention actually. This was based on designing policies for transportation and regional development. And, look, it’s been now eight years since then and I continue to be a resident in Holland.
She taught me to be direct, to always tell what I want, especially in my interactions with the Dutch public institutions. She taught me to persevere and focus on what I want to achieve, without being aggressive, master the tone of my voice, and, when on the phone, ask for the name of the person at the other end of the line so that, if I ever have to call back, I would know who to address. In Romania, people have a certain tendency to have arguments, to get in a tantrum, so to say. I have learned to trust myself because if you don’t show your self-confidence, the other person will take advantage of the situation and reap all the benefits.
For the rest, my contact with professors was really good but it took some time until I got used to their educational system. In Romania, I was an above average student, I used to score a 10 much easier than here. Here, a 10 is for God, 9 for the professor, and 8 is the maximum grade you can fight for. At a certain point in time, I discovered that the main goal of many of my colleagues was to get a 5.5 so that they pass their exams. After that, I discovered that if you learn for 5.5, it is possible to fail your exam and you have to train better. We had a great group of Romanians, Bulgarians, and other Eastern Europeans. My first exams were also the toughest: math, finance, statistics. Initially, we prepared some certificates to prove that we had already completed those studies in Romania and, thus, we would not have to take those exams again. But, eventually, I realized it was useless and those certificates were good for nothing. The exams were meant to help me. The moment I understood that the educational system is focused on my interest so as to make me develop personally and professionally – and that was my exact goal – I started to play for keeps and be grateful for this system, see it as a plus.
I have to say that my passion for art counted as well when I chose the Netherlands. When I was in primary school, I wanted extremely much to see a Rembrandt. And I was overwhelmed when I finally visited Rijksmuseum and stood in front of one of his paintings. In fact, choosing the topic for my master thesis was an act of the heart. I combined a topic of urban development with art, focused on a bad neighbourhood of Rotterdam, confronted with a high criminality rate. I helped transform this bad neighbourhood into a high-end area, using art as a catalyst for social integration and cohesion as well as economic development. I cannot say with full conviction that I had a direct impact but, after a few months from submitting my thesis, the professor who coordinated my work told me that that neighbourhood was included in the Lonely Planet guide (one of the largest trip advisors) in the top high-end locations (worth paying a visit) in Europe.
You’ve mentioned, earlier, Dutch classes. When have you learned the language?
At school, courses were in English so, for two years, I didn’t really manage to practice words in Dutch. At home, my landlady had a boyfriend whom she addressed in English, so English came in handy also when we talked to one another. But I applied for an NT2 course (Staatsexamen Nederlands als tweede taal, a standard formal certification exam that grants anyone a non-native Dutch language certification). My girlfriend – the former one – told me that it is highly important to learn the language if you want to stay here for the long term.
The second day after I bought my bike, I started preparation to apply to those language courses. I have to say that, to me, those courses had a very slow tempo versus my expectations. I consider that interval as somewhat passive. But I managed to learn the language, eventually, and I can say I started to speak Dutch already by the end of my first year in the Netherlands, when I met a girlfriend, half Romanian, half Dutch. I took the courage to practice Dutch with her, without being afraid of making mistakes. I cannot say I know Dutch to perfection now


Hillsboro used to have a sign at each end of town that welcomed visitors to the “Home of 600 happy people and a few old soreheads.” I like to think that some of the soreheads were originally happy to be acknowledged on the sign but then quickly got sore about having their emotions toyed with.
My folks rented a house across from the post office in 1967, while my dad was building our new home a mile and a half west of town. Hillsboro had a bakery then, along with a drugstore and a car dealership and two gas stations and a bank and a dress shop and a grocery store and a lumber yard. These were the days of banana-seat bikes and 12-cent Batman comics, crew cuts and Cub Scouts. And even when we moved to the new house, I romanticized Hillsboro and couldn’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to live there.
In Trombone Answers, Parker Graham writes an essay about Colby City for his English class:
Mrs Marchese gave me an A and told me I had more civic pride than the average seventh-grader. I asked her if that was good and she just nodded with the faintest of smiles. “Too soon to tell,” she said.
To give you a rough idea of how much civic pride I had back in my grade school and junior high days, I secretly thought Hillsboro had a chance to land a team the next time major league baseball expanded. All we needed was a stadium and an exit off I-74. (And, now that I think of it, a committee to make Hillsboro’s pitch to the expansion committee, on which I would have gladly served.) The American League expanded to Seattle and Toronto in 1977, but by that time I had realized that logistically, Veedersburg had a much better chance than Hillsboro.
Last time I was in town I took my wife on a walking tour past a lot of places that aren’t there anymore. There’s no bakery, no drugstore, no grocery store, no gas station. What was once a gigantic death-defying sledding hill is now kind of short and not very steep. The lumber yard is gone but the cemeteries seem to be flourishing.
And yet, it’s still Hillsboro. The flashing traffic light is still there (yellow if you’re on 136 and red if you’re coming up the hill on 341) and the ratio of happy people to soreheads is probably still about the same. I’m calling this site Hillsboro Publishing to commemorate a town I once thought was the greatest place on earth. I hope there’s a kid living there now who thinks it still is.

"Have You Seen Me Lately?"
Dominick - ER patient, 27, arm stuck in a meat grinder. Dr. Howard (its Callie) asks how long has he been in this thing. Dominick says 10 years, nurse says that the paramedic estimated 3 hours. Dominick is in how own world of pain. Says for 10 years he's been shoving meat in the grinder and not even a scratch. Then, they got this huge order for an Italian wedding with all the mortadella, salami, soprasetta... Callie is feeling around the grinder trying to figure out what they are going to do. Says they will need something more heavy duty than a bone saw to get through it.
Dominick continues, he told others to go home, he's a big shot, he'll do it all himself and work all night. Closed his eyes for 2 seconds and now he's the soprasetta. Says his brothers are never going to let him hear the end of this. Callie asks what the difference is between salami and soprasetta.
Callie still working to free Dominick from the grinder. Dominick is drugged up and not really present. An intern comes in and says to Callie that he/she was going to treat the patient per your instructions but thinks its the wrong course of action. Dr. H says that's right, it was a test, good work. Dominick slurs "way to go". They look at him but he's already back in dreamland.
Post-op: Callie and Meredith are with Dominick and his brothers Mike and Tommy. Dominick's hand is bandaged but we can see he has several of his fingers. Mike asks what are they looking at under all the wrap, some kind of roast? Dominick says he's the best, Callie says they saved 3 fingers and his thumb, Mike says good work but they were hoping for a hook. Now Mike is a full fledged member of the family. He and Tommy hold up their hands and they have like 15 fingers between them. Dominick says what about the middle finger Dr. Torres? Would like to make sure he gets to use that again. Tommy says don't be like that but do they have a room full of hooks around?
Chuck - 16 year old Peds Patient. Dr. Howard and Dr. Black round on Chuck Fisher. Alex examines Chuck while Morgan continues to quiz him. As they speak Chuck looks back and forth trying to follow the conversation. Dr. Howard (Alex) says they'll take him to surgery and bronch him. If they bleeding doesn't stop they'll have to crack his chest. Chuck says YOU HAVE TO WHAT? Alex tells him to relax, not him. Chuck asks are you or are not gonna crack open my chest? Alex says he say not him.
Dr. Turner - John and Carol are arguing in front of their therapist. John says every time they visit his parents its the same story. She's rude, inconsiderate and mean to his entire family. Carol tells the therapist he never stops criticizing. The therapist asks Carol if she can get beyond the way John is speaking and hear what he is trying to say. Carol launches into explanation as the therapist listens (explanation not in the side).
Carrie - long time patient of Dr Smith and she has multiple health issues, but most notably and what she appears to be in for is Lymphedema, which is major swelling of her arms (can be legs too). She tells Dr Smith she heard it is a tough procedure, but there has been success. Dr Smith tells her they have been through a lot and she is the success story. She says she has a grandchild on the way and she wants to be able to hold her grandbaby in her arms and that she wants to take the risk and do the surgery. </s> A convicted drunk driver who doesn't believe his drinking contributed to the death of a woman he struck in a marked crosswalk should serve four years in prison, a prosecutor argued Wednesday.
Sivakumar Devarajah, 56, Since then, he told a psychiatrist in a pre sentence evaluation he didn't think his, led to him striking 77 year old Agnes Morgan in a west end crosswalk.
"It is mind boggling that someone would still think they are impervious to the effects of alcohol," Crown prosecutor Kim Goddard told court at Devarajah's sentencing hearingidn't see her, though other drivers did.
Tearfully, Cijay Morgan told court of her last moments at her mother's hospital bed. "I begged her to open her eyes and talk to me. I begged her not to leave."
Morgan spoke of her mother's endless volunteer work with her church and local organizations. A "selfless, loving, kind and thoughtful person," Agnes Morgan died with a to do list in her pocket that included a reminder to bring bread to feed to local birds, her daughter said.
"People used to say, "If you don't like Agnes, it's your fault."
As Devarajah spoke, Cijay Morgan plugged her ears in the front row of the court gallery because she didn't want to hear an apology from the man who "slaughtered" her mother.
Devarajah's lawyer, William Tatarchuk, argued his client should serve three years.

The big debate – Should membership in a school sports club be made compulsory?
By George S. GarciaNovember 29, 2021December 2nd, 2021No Comments
YES – Roxanna Wright, editor-in-chief
Britain is increasingly becoming an obese nation. It has been found that we have the highest obesity statistics in Western Europe, and these statistics are only increasing. In the 2020 NHSd, it was found that 67% of adult men and 60% of adult women were considered overweight or obese. It not only harms people’s , but it also also adds tremendous pressure on our NHS. One sure way to improve this statistic is to get children to participate in a weekly sports club, whether inside or outside of school.
Humans are well known as creatures of habit; we stick to what we’re comfortable with and we like routines. If exercise is forced into a child’s routine on a weekly basis from the age of 5 to 16, it would not seem natural not to be part of a sports club early in their life. adult and hopefully later.
This technique would not only prevent obesity in adulthood, but also obesity in childhood. NHS statistics revealed that 20% of children in 6th grade, children aged 10 to 11, were labeled obese. What’s more, statistics have shown that only 47% of children and young people meet current guidelines for physical activity in the UK.
The idea that it is mandatory for a child to join a sports club not only reduces the risk of obesity, health problems and meeting exercise standards, but it also works wonders in terms of Mental Health. Endorphins, dopamine,stress and pain relief. Dthe happy chemical; stabilize our mood and oursing?
In addition to all of these beautiful chemicals, sport gives you Playing as a team or learning and competing alongside other people can make you feel like part of a community. When you are in school, you can form closer friendships with your fellow students. Then, as you get older and join adult classes, values, and hobbies that you might not have encountered otherwise.
However, in an interview with a teacher at a primary school in East Sussex, a problem arose over the idea of â€‹â€‹making sports clubs compulsory. â€œMaking it obligatory can take away the fun if you feel like it becomes a chore or something you have to do. Sport has to be fun no matter what level you play at, and that’s why I think sport is so good, because that element of fun is something that I haven’t had with other lessons. When I was young. So making it mandatory could ruin this philosophy, so as mentioned before, I think its place in the program is sufficient.
The question that forcing children to participate in sports clubs can create the feeling that it is a chore, was an issue I took into consideration when considering this idea. However, according to the Worlds Sports Encyclopaedia, there are 8,000 indigenous sports and sports games around the world, with 200 of these sports internationally recognized by an international governing body. Unfortunately, elementary and secondary schools will not have the facilities, money, resources or time to allow students to try out each of these sports in physical education class. Therefore, the chances of finding a sport that you are really passionate about in school are limited.
As a solution, by applying a rule that children must participate in a weekly sport, either inside or outside of school, they are more likely to explore a multitude of types of sports, further expanding more their perspective on exercise than what schools can offer them. These sports can range from Ultimate Frisbee and Synchronized Swimming to Horseback Riding and Tae Kwon Do. With the hundreds of sports to choose from available to children, today it seems quite impossible for a single child not to have a particular interest or pleasure in one of these sports. Concluding that not only the child will be positively impacted by this rule, but the NHS will be too.
NO – Charlie Batten, sports print publisher
When I was in school, I was one of those kids who loved physical education. I was a bit versatile in all sports and spent time competing for my school in various sports and competitions. At one point, I even had the opportunity to do physical education every day at school or participate in a sports-related after-school club, because for me that was what I had the most. more fun growing up. Some of my friends, however, did not share the same experience.
For my classmates, physical education was their most hated subject as they were forced to change clothes, stand in the cold, and have a teacher yelling at them to run after a ball they didn’t really know. why they were running. Put simply, they didn’t like the sport and the idea that they should be forced to do even more would have been horrible.
For many schoolchildren, physical education is just a subject like English, math and science. If you force a kid to spend more time doing math, chances are they’ll start to hate it and that’s not what you want with sports. A better alternative is to have schools increase the variety of sports on which they base their physical education curriculum so that children can find one that suits them in the hope that they choose it after they have finished. school or after completing full time. education. It only takes one sport that piques the interest of a child to create a lifelong attachment.
To that, I understand that there is the argument that not all sports are accessible to all due to various costs and this is where the government has to step in. Many times I have heard them comment and complain about the rates of childhood obesity in this country, but I have failed to have a lasting impact on its prevention. To help, they must provide funds to schools and sports clubs to buy or at least rent equipment that will allow people to participate without worrying about the costs to children or their parents. There is also the concern of the cost of the trip, which is why there should be more local sports clubs that offer a variety of sports for its local children as well as for adults. They must also take into account single-parent households and find a way to always allow these children to go to sporting events because they deserve the same opportunities as children from two-parent households. Of course, this will all cost the government quite a bit of money, but it would be money that will be saved through the treatment of obesity-related diseases in children and adults.
There is no point in forcis this will only arouse resentment from some people. What needs to be done instead is to give people the opportunity to play sports and hope that for some of them it will cause them to increase their physical exercise and improve their physical health.
Sport is also not the only way to improve people’s health. Healthy eating can also have a huge impact on children and teaching these good habits while their youngsters can ensure that these habits stay with them into their adulthood. This would be an incredibly easy feat to achieve as it could be easily taught in physical education or science classes and if taken seriously enough to be a recurring theme in the curriculum, it would increase the chances of it sticking in. children’s minds.
Overall, I think forcing kids to join a sports club is not the right way to tackle childhood obesity or to get them interested and get involved in sports. On the one hand, this wchildren. It will sound like the EP that a lot of kids have never enjoyed and never will. There are also other methods that I think are more realistic to try to tackle these problems, such as increasing public funding for sports clubs to allow increased participation at no cost to participants. Increasingir health will also improve overall health.

abstract = "We previously reported that alymphoplasia (alylaly) mice, which have a natural loss-of-function mutation in the Nik gene, which encodes a kinase essential for the processing of p100 to p52 in the alternative nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway, show mild osteopetrosis with an increase in several parameters of bone formation: bone formation rate, mineral apposition rate, and osteoblast number. We therefore investigated the molecular mechanisms triggered by using primary osteoblasts (POB) prepared from alylaly mice. Aduced by  were enhanced in POB from alylaly compared with wild-type (WT) mice. Furthermore, osteoblastn 2 (BMP2), as shown by ALP activity, mRNA expression of osteocalcin, Id1, Osterix and Runx2, and Sma- and Mad-related protein (Smad)1/5/8 phosphorylation, was also enhanced in POB from alylaly mice. The ectopic bone formation in vivo that was induced by BMP2 was enhanced in alylaly mice compared with controls. Transfection of a mutant form of p100, p100ΔGRR, which cannot be processed to p52, stimulated ALP activity and Smad phosphorylation. In contrast to p100ΔGRR, overexpression of p52 inhibited these events. Both BMP2-induced ALP activity and Smad phosphorylation were reduced in POB from p100p52 and p100ΔGRR interacted with a BMP receptor, ALK2, in overexpressed COS7 cells and changed the ALK2 protein levels in opposite directions: p52 reduced ALK2 and p100 increased it. Thus, the alternative the NF-κB pathway via the processing of p52 from p100 negatively regulates osteoblastic differentiation and bone formation by modifying BMP activity.",

“Stuart Henshall at Skype Journal has a brilliant idea for helping Katrina victims put their lives back together through restored communications. You can read it here and a follow up here.
Stuartâ€™s idea is that Bell South ought to immediately virtualize all the nonworking phone numbers in the stricken area. VoIP providers can then immediately make it possible for the owners of these numbers to reclaim them from wherever they are, set up voice mail on them, and/or forward them to other working phone numbers. Bell South can have the numbers back when the landlines are restored to service.
Assuming that Internet access is available (see below), a displaced family will immediately be able to put a greeting on their new voice mail account saying they are OK and giving as much information about their current location as they want to. Family members desperately looking for the displaced people then only have to call their old phone numbers to get their current status AND to leave them voice mail.”
Apols my last post seemed to be wholly incomprehensible. My broadband connection is mussing me around, apols.
Nice Work. You are one of a kind, Jeff. Some context would be to consider the 175 Million FBI Virtual Case File. 175 Million dollars and 4 Years resulted in an abandoned project. That’s our existing leadership. That’s what we are working with now. The Open Source Community along with sponsorship from fringe programmers to tech start-ups and the Intel’s and Google’s needs to come together to solve this genuine world problem. The Feds don’t have the knowledge or leadership. How many top programmers work for the Feds. Few to none. Likely none. Open Source Commuinty step up. This is your Bob Dylan moment. This is the new cool, the new high.On a related note, WiMax adoption is essential. Let’s step up WiMax. Also, we need to ask Congress for funding for Open Source although it may not be necessary if everyone steps up.
Jeff, I’ll be there if I can make it, not sure yet.

Jeff, this is an excellent idea! I’ve actually been thinking along the same lines since I wrote a post on Aug 31 talking about how “I Want To Save The World” which pretty much equals your thoughts about how technology isn’t as great as everyone thinks it is and we need to improve it as quickly as we can to be ready the next time. A couple of thoughts on your points that I’ve actually already been thinking about myself.
Distributed Systems Working Collectively
Distributed systems on the Web right now ar critically important though that information still be decentralized because if you create one site to collect and share this information, it will get severely overloaded (i.e. Technorati) especially in a disaster situation with everyone utilizing it. Therefore, not only do we need technology that allows information to be gathered from anywhere but we also need ways for this information to be distributed anywhere so that its viewing load is not loaded on one system but distributed anywhere. How this can be achieve, I’m not 100% sure but maybe something done through RSS distribution through key clusters to relay information to neighboring sites is the way to go. Only thing though is that a missing person list via RSS would probably be large but still would it be more than a 1 MB of info? Hell, even if it was 10MB of info, I’m sure people would still host it on their site. Hmm, just thought of something, its too bad there wasn’t for the technology to detect the load on the server and if it is too overload then when you click to view the list, you are actually pulling it off of a site somewhere else that has a smaller load. This kind of sounds like how BitTorrent works doesn’t it? It determines the best place to grab the information for you so that you are sitting around waiting for the download off of a high traffic site.
I’ve already talk about this on my site as well under my post “Web2OS + Browser PC = Accessible Computing” which talks about using Nicolas Negroponte’s $100 latop for developing nations as a cheap accessible emergency PC for situations like this (you can even crank them up to generate energy to use them). Of course, for this to work though, it would require a wide area WiFi emergency network station being setup immediately after a disaster to help relay communications and networking traffic. I also want to emphasis the word networking as well. Cheap cell phones are a decent idea but phone networks

With bigger quilts, this step can be almost as challenging as the quilting itself!
If you're pin basting, arrange your pins in a regular, gridded formation. (You're going to have to stop and take them all out as you work and you don't want to be surprised by their location!

67 thoughts on "100 Days – Week of Quilting – Tips for Free-Motion Quilting a Larger Quilt"
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the great tips to free motion quilting a big quilt!
I found this post to be extremely insightful. I do a lot of fmq (mostly because I have worn out my walking foot and a new one is $50) so everything I've made in the past few months has to be fmq. I never thought of starting with the quilt behind the machine and pulling, but that makes total sense to me and I'm going to give it a try with a quilt top I finished yesterday. I usually quilt mine in "swaths" horizontally across the quilt from one end to the other. Thanks for the great post!
Great tips!I will have to try them out soon!
Very interesting, thanks much for sharing your technique. Large quilts are challenging indeed on a home machine. One think I'm curious about, You start at an outside corner of each quadrant, not a corner near the center of the quilt, so the old "start in the center and work towards the edges" don't seem to be a concern. No issues with wrinkles?
Wow, this is an extremely helpful post!Coming just when it's needed. I too, want to thank all of you who'vHSo methodical. Thank you Elizabeth!I've've — very helpful. One question, though — How do you manage to take out the pins as you come to them if you have your left arm under the quilt and are holding tight with your right?
Can't wait to try holding the quilt this way…wrestling them with my fingertips is about to ruin my poor back. Thank you for the blinding ray of what should be (but totally wasn't, to me at least) common sense!
Thanks for a wonderful explanation of how you fmq and, most importantly, why it works for you – so helpful!
Thank you for this post!A friend recently asked me to make a queen sized quilt for her and I had pretty much given up on the idea of quilting it myself, but this post makes me want to give it a try!
Great tips, thank you!It's also going into my file of justifications on why I need a machine with a much bigger throat because I can see how much space you have to work in compared to mine!I think I could get my hand into it like that but it'd be tight!
I love all your great tips ,and will try to follow them on my next undertaking. I am planning on spray basting the quilt, do you object to this method, and would you tell us why if you do?
Thank you so much for sharing this technique!I'm fairly new to quilting and I've been mystified by how easily everyone makes free motion quilting look. I can't wait to try this out – thank you thank you thank you!
Thanks you so much for these tips Elizabeth!
This post has so much great information. One day I would love to make a queen sized quilt for me bed. Now I won't feel so intimidated by the thought of quilting it on my machine at home. You always share such clear, thoughtful and helpful advice!Thanks so much!
Thank you for your great tips!I have 3 twin sized quilts almost ready for quilting and these tips will help me a lot!
thank you so much for the advice. i have 2 large quilts just laying around because i wasn't sure how to get them quilted i think i will give it a try on my machine….thanks again!
Thank you for sharing your technique. I am encouraged to try this on my next quilt. BTW- which Viking machine are you using?
THANK YOU!I have my first "bigger than a crib quilt" (large twin) ready to machine quilt and I've been rolling it and folding in different configurations on and off for weeks (still with no stitching inserted) trying to develop a plan of attack. YOU HAVE SAVED THE DAY. I can totally see how this method will work with my large quilt, and sewing space (against a wall, yay!
Thanks for these great tips!I wouldn't have thought to divide up my quilt this way — I was locked into my notion that I had to start in the middle and go completely up and down. This will be so much easier!
This is such a helpful post!I'm about to baste and FMQ my first twin size bed quilt and have been hesitating out of "fear"!Silly, I know but now I feel I'm ready to take this on!Thank you!BTW, I love the quilt you show here, can't wait for the new book!
The tips are helpful…
Thanks for explaining your method – there's some tips in there that I'll definitely use!
Thanks so much for the info, I understand it!
This is a wonderful tip!Thanks you so much…this helps!
wow….I am just getting ready to do my daughters first king sized quilt. I have done a queen size,but felt a bit daunted by the bigger one. Your instructions make me brave!
Thank you, very good blog, I have been free motion quilting for 10 years now and have done over 50 quilts, I am a real big fan of fusiable batting. I know it takes longer to iron the 3 layers smooth, than it does to quilt it, but it does stay put. I have quilted 80X80 quilts with it. What is your thoughts on fusiable batting?
Thank you for this informative post. I've been really working on improving my machine quilting. The quadrant method and working from the outside to the inside seems a little intimidating, but I may give it a try on the next project. Anything that may help!Have a super day!
Thank you very much for sharing this technique!
Do you know where I might find any advice on cutting a quilt in 4 pieces to quilt it and then re-assembling the quarters. I have made a quilt top that is 120×95 and it''t f"quilting" ots!
I have a "suite"they come down when i'm done, and are easy to store when not needed…Nice presentation!
Thanks so much for this helpful tutorial!
I always was told to quilt from the center of the quilt out because the quilt could pucker if you started at an edge. I will tell you I have always had trouble quilting large quilts no matter what. I can pin the quilt to death and I still have shifting most of the time. So frustrating when my top comes out perfect and then the quilting can sometimes destroy it, but I don't know there's going to be puckering until sometimes 1/4-1/2 through the quilting process. I have been so frustrated that I gave up large quilts, yet even lap size are a challenge at times. I have tried quilt-as-you-go which is great while the blocks are small, but then trying to piece the long sections together is also where things move and shift. I have even hand basted to avoid this and while it works a bit better, it's still not perfect. I know practice makes perfect, but how many quilts do I need to ruin first?And all the time and expense is heart breaking. I do manage to have some of my things come out just great though. So I don't understand what or when I am doing something wrong. If I knew, I would make sure to do or not do certain things to achieve great results each time. It always looks so easy when others show a tutorial. Thanks so much for your great tutorials. I know there isn't an answer for me, but wondered if others have this same problem or if you started out having problems like this too?
