Thank you, Christopher.  I would substitute Alexandra for Armando in option 2, and the male/female ratio be damned. Wink

Also, where does the "extra" picture go:  12 months + front cover + ?  (Sorry if I'm "behind" on this point.)

The template format that Chris supplied from the printers goes from Jan 08 through to Jan 09 - 13 months.

I think the suggestion of swapping Alexandra for Armando, using option 2, is probably going to be the best way forward from all the comments so far that I keep on seeing.

Unless there is a last minute swing back to option 1 - thankfully the poll creator can sneak a peek at the votes  Grin.

Just waking up this morning and it seems the rules we created for voting are turning against us,  Huh?  Personally thats ok with me if a majority agree on the outcome.  And thats fine--even Congress can overturn decisions, rules and laws with a decent majority, so we needn't feel bad about making what might become some necessary alterations.  Only perfection would get it right the first time, and there is no person or process that will ever attain that, so in order to make anything its best there needs to be a window of flexibility.

Assuming the #2 set will win the voting:

1.  My proposal is much like the last couple I have heard.  If Ruksana is on the cover, shift Alexandra in the place of Armando, who are both Ecuadorian as we know.  There is still a good ratio of women to men inside and that way both of these wonderful pics of Ruksana and Alexandra are represented.

2.  If Alexandra heads to the cover, in order to keep Ruksana and the rest of the pics, one has to be removed.  It could be Armando in order to prevent two Ecuadorian pics, or we can actually remove any one of the pics we decide upon, rules aside. 

My feeling is that it would be less time consuming and an easier process for all of us with option 1, even though Im for Alexandra, but Im willing to compromise my vote to make option #1 work.  And with option 1 we dont need anymore voting or consensus about which pictures to keep and remove.

What I don't like about Ruksana on the front page, is that she'll never be displayed for a full month...I will miss her in the calendar. Once I saw the photo on the cover, it will be hanging on my wall and never turn up again...that's kind of sad, cause Ruksana deserves a whole month of display.

But I'm fine with anything that will be decided.

Don't hang it, keep it on your desk, closed.  You'll see her as much as you'd like!  Wink

It also means she most likely will be the "Cover Girl" for most calendar promotions and plastered all over the Internet for all eternity!  Cheesy Laugh

Henry, I am both...online at home...but at home, I will hang it up, because I intend to use the calendar...I won't have a big calendar liying around the whole year. That way I'll never use it.  No

EDIT: How in the world do you spell lieing/lying or whatever???
