Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Springs police have released new pictures of the suspect who robbed a liquor store. The armed robbery happened on January 15 at The Cellar Liquor Store on Delmonico Drive.
The store's security camera captured some still frame pictures during the hold up. Police tell 11 News the suspect is wearing a black hood around his face, even though it looks purple and may have used a sport utility vehicle in his getaway.
If you have any information about the suspect police ask that you call the robbery unit at 444-7543.

The city of Laurinburg has selected Randy Gibson to serve as its permanent fire chief.
Gibson, who had been interim chief, will be officially sworn in by Mayor Tommy Parker during the Laurinburg City Council's meeting on March 19.
"He was clearly the best candidate from what I was told," Parker said. "He was well trained and has good credentials."
City Human Resources Director Amy Martin said that of all the resumes she reviewed, Gibson's was "definitely the most qualified."
Gibson graduated last month from UNC-Charlotte's Fire and Rescue Management Institute.
In addition to his past success and his training, Martin said that Gibson performed "very well" during an interview process with city representatives.
"He was the right choice for the job," Martin said.
While the city considered many applicants from outside of its employ, Parker said that he was pleased to see an employee hired to the job from within.
"I think it says good things when we can promote from within," Parker said.
Then Lt. Gibson was appointed to the interim role following the resignation of Fire Chief John Evans two months ago. Gibson was serving as a fire inspector at the time.
Evans, a career police officer, was also serving as the chief of police.
The city has yet to hire a full-time police chief.
Martin said in January that she was "very confident" in interim Chief Kimothy Monroe's ability to serve until someone could be hired to the role.
The city council will hold an agenda workshop session at 7 p.m. tonight at the W. Charles Barrett Building.
The city will host a "Citizen Input Session" this Thursday at 6 p.m. at the A.B. Gibson Center.

TWO rules to being a successful artist:
1. dont give out your adivce
TWO rules to being a successful artist:
1. dont give out your adivce
i'll be faymos one day;
Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.
Honestly the best advice i got was none, do as you want to do not what others want :/
This is some advice I've thought of giving, and it seems pretty sound;
Take your signature, or handwriting. Draw some basic letters(for beginners here I guess)... if you find yourself naturally more prone to straighter lines, sharper angles, work that into your style... if your more into curves, work with that..
I'd be interested to know whats though of this advice...
"draw like a madman"
and im paraphrasing this one but " like a diary is to an adolescent girl, thats what your sketchbook is to you. but it's gotta be one of those really torn emotional adolescent girls
My best tip's are just to draw some random line's and you'll eventaully make your own character
damn dude thats very uhm... reminds me of Martial Arts or something, the writers equivalent of push-ups on the knuckles or repeatedly punching pots of stone? Really cool advice. Rigorous training.
Awesome quote! As awesome as your user name, whatever it means its got this aura of cool ((if you detect sarcasm my bad, meant none))
JB is gonna take this advice, I still suck at characters...
Keep it simple was/is one I heard a lot. Not so sure I took that advice. I found for drawing it helped to do a lot of handstyles then outline with a thin pen to practice cleanliness, and adding 3Ds. Sometimes I think maybe it'd be good to suggest 'if you're gonna bite, bite locally', thinking preservation of a city/regional style is a good thing in this era of global communication... yet I'm sure most would say the better advice is DON'T BITE.
I've always admired a well-rounded writer, you know?, dope handstyles, nice characters, solid throwups and tight pieces, good with the blackbook & the cans (I see the Brazilians and I read in an All-Nation article Peruvians, for two, are quite skilled with bucket paint also)... I can't say I'm one of these myself, but some more advice would be to [HOLY SHIT! my box got unplugged and my post was Auto-Saved~] develop all the skill you can at every aspect of this. Not limiting one's-self to one word/4-5 letters, trying all 36 characters (haven't tried much Arabic yet) has been nice for this writer.
I'd say 30 minutes a day
And the longest I have ever drawn for was 2 hours I'd also recommend listing to music while you draw what ever genre you prefer
I am the Dreadnaught!!
Some chick from my school..... i hate her
I am the Dreadnaught!!
wtf? wrong thread dude.
"you arent good unless you can draw a PERFECT star" is what i tell all my learnies
just something for hype
best advice i got was to start again! go simple! go light so u can change parts you dont like or add what you want in. it deffo made a differance been drawin nonstop since then lol had more ideas, its easier to add something in and remove if it dont look right than to remove a whole load of shit!!
take it from the chumps, graffiti is for champs!!

Power Semiconductor Devices for SMD Assembly
Essemtec's Pick-and-Place machines are optimized for Power Packages from IXYS
The new ISOPLUS-SMPD package from IXYS allows the assembly of power and control electronics in one operation on the same SMD board. This increases efficiency and reduces the cost of power electronics. In a strong collaboration with Essemtec, IXYS has tested and optimized the automatic assembly of the new ISOPLUS-SMPD package.
Adrian Schärli, Azular GmbH, for Essemtec AG
Electric bicycles, electric cars, solar panels: in all these products power must be switched. Until recently, power switches such as IGBTs were available only as through-hole components or modules that had to be mounted, soldered and connected to heat sinks in traditional, mostly manual operations. IXYS, a leading manufacturer of power devices, however, has introduced a new package type that simplifies design, assembly and cooling concepts of power devices.
Power Semiconductors in a SMD Package with Integrated Insulation
Under the brand name ISOPLUS, IXYS offers packages with similar dimensions compared to standard TO-220 or TO-247 power packages with internal insulation. Therefore, multiple power switches can be directly attached to a common heat sink without additional insulation foils (Fig. 1). As an extension to these products, IXYS now introduces the ISOPLUS-SMDP, which is closing the gap between traditional discrete packages and modules.
The integrated insulation is a result of the implementation of a direct copper bond (DCB, Fig. 2) on which the silicon die is bonded. The DCB features several advantages in addition to its electrical insulation. Its thermal conductivity is excellent and it has a thermal expansion coefficient close to silicon. Therefore, temperature fluctuations do not induce mechanical tensions, which enables soldering in standard reflow soldering ovens.
Using the flexibility of the DCB patterning and different pin-out options, various circuit configurations can be formed within the ISOPLUS-SMPD and then multiple such devices can be used within one application. By default, power and control pins are on different sides of the package, which is ideal for circuit design. The package also is optimized regarding creep clearance and air distances.
Requirements for Pick-and-Place Systems
During development of the ISOPLUS SMPD package, IXYS collaborated with Essemtec, the Swiss manufacturer of production systems for electronics. For many years, IXYS has used specialized pick-and-place machines from Essemtec for the assembly of semiconductor dies and other components. Essemtec has now tested the automatic assembly of SMPDs and has analyzed what the new package type requires from automatic SMD placement machines.
The components are available in blister trays or in 44 and 56 mm tapes, and both can be processed by nearly any SMD pick-and-place machine. For prototyping and small series manufacturing, however, components typically are handled in nonstandard trays or in short tape strips. Automatic picking from such containers is possible only with highly flexible pick-and-place machines such as the FLX, Paraquda or Cobra Series from Essemtec.
The size of ISOPLUS-SMPD packages is in the range of QFPs but they have a higher mass. This mass may influence the placement machine's regulation systems, especially to the rotation axis. Additionally, the higher mass can reduce acceleration values and the speed-optimization of collect-and-place placement heads. Pick-and-place machines from Essemtec are built for even heavier components and, therefore, offer ideal conditions for the placement of ISOPLUS-SMPD.
SMD placement machines generally transport a component using a vacuum tool. Some machine manufacturers offer tools with soft suction cups as a solution for large or heavy components. For ISOPLUS-SMPD this is not an option because it might cause alignment and placement errors due to the heavy weight. Essemtec's pick-and-place tests were done using standard tools for large components. These tools are specially coated and feature a good grip to prevent from surface damage.
Controlled Placement Process
Placement height and parallelism is more important for power components than for other SMDs. For example, if multiple ISOPLUS-SMPDs will be attached to a common heat sink (Fig. 2), all components must be aligned exactly parallel to the PCB and the top surface must have exactly the same height.
Precise component alignment also is important because correct creeping and air distances must be maintained. ISOPLUS-SMPD can be well aligned using CyberOptics Laser Centering Systems and vision-based systems.
Essemtec's test series have shown that the rectangular package body of the package is a good reference for laser alignment. For vision systems, pin alignment is the better choice. The pins provide a good contrast and can be detected easily by image processing systems. Additionally, pin arrangement is asymmetric, making it easy to align the package correctly (Fig. 3).
New Way of Building Power Devices
Essemtec and IXYS have intensively tested the processability of these new SMD packages. Due to these tests, several optimizations were implemented on trays, tapes and on the pick-and-place machines. Today, all SMD pick-and-place machines from Essemtec can assemble ISOPLUS-SMPD reliably, quickly and accurately.
ISOPLUS-SMPDs from IXYS are changing the way power electronics are designed and manufactured. The new package type reduces assembly effort, simplify circuit layout and allow fully automatic production of complete power electronic devices.

WOODBURY >> Nonnewaug had been waiting for about three weeks to get another crack at Thomaston and and when the Chiefs finally got their shot, they made the most of it.
A power outage may have kept Nonnewaug off the field for the better part of a week but it was the Chiefs who turned the lights out on the Bears in the Berkshire League race as Alexa Brazauskas and Anna Drakeley scored goals in Nonnewaug's 2-1 victory Thursday afternoon in Woodbury.
The victory gave the Chiefs a one-game lead over the Bears with a game left on their schedule. Thomaston will be pulling for Shepaug on Friday so they can get a share of the title while a win in Washington will clinch the title outright for Nonnewaug.
But to set up Friday's game to mean anything, the Chiefs (13-1-1) had to take care of business Thursday against the Bears (12-2-1) and avenge their lone loss of the season.
"These girls, they wanted this game from the moment we walked off the field in Thomaston," Nonnewaug coach Kathy Brenner said. "I wasn't sure what they were going to have today. We hadn't practiced since last Wednesday and the last time we were together was on Friday for a game. But they brought the intensity today and played a great game against a strong team."
Thomaston was riding a seven-game win streak and won the earlier matchup with Nonnewaug 1-0. The Bears had not lost since Sept. 25, a 1-0 overtime setback at Shepaug. But in this one the Chiefs had the better of the run of play, putting the pressure on repeatedly before fnally breaking through.
Brazauskas opened the scoring at 17:28 of the first half, taking a penalty corner from Anastasia Schneider and making a move around a Thomaston defender before firing a laser past Thomston goalie Nicole Petruzzi.
"I think the first goal gave us confidence and helped us pick up the intensity," Brazauskas said. "It was nice to pick up the win. Now we are going to go into Shepaug with a lot of confidence and try and keep it going."
The shot gave Nonnewaug momentum and a 1-0 lead and seemed to deflate Thomaston a bit.
The Chiefs extended the lead to 2-0 in the second half when Drakeley got loose on the left side inside the scoring circle and took a shot that found the back of the cage at 17:12 of the second half. Continued...
Thomaston started the game with a strong first 10 minutes or so before Nonnewaug started to get the better of it. Down 2-0 and looking at a league title slipping away, the Bears regained their footing and started to put some pressure on the Chiefs.
Rhianon Mecca scored for the Bears with 1:10 to go after a flurry of Thomaston action in front of the goal. Thomaston got right back at it and kept applying the pressure and nearly came up with the equalizer.
With the clock running down, the Bears were awarded a penalty corner and the ball went to Abby Hurlbert, whose shot went just wide to the left of the goal, Thomaston appeared to get a stick on it for a redirect but it hit the post and caromed out of bounds to end the game.
"We started out the game really strong but we need to play the whole game like how we started it and the last few minutes before it ended," Thomaston coach Brooke Holway said. "They put the ball in the goal first and took some momentum from that and we started to look nervous. Finally they had a sense of urgency, realized a BL title was on the line and they started to pull it together. It just should have happened earlier."
But it didn't and now Thomaston has to pull for Shepaug while Nonnewaug has a shot to wrap up another league title.
"We look like a championship team," Brenner said. "It goes back to the girls, they want it. They refuse to give up, their first goal has been to defending the BL title and now they have a chance to do it."

Several times a day our devout Jewish brothers and sisters recite this prayer, "Hear, O Israel! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart." Jesus knew and used these words well, and He declares them to be the first commandment for His followers, Christians! He adds another command from the Book of Leviticus that the love of God and the love of one's Neighbor — together — become the rule of life. St. Teresa of Avila, a Doctor of the Catholic Church wrote, "We are the hands and feet of Christ. Christ has no body, but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which he looks with Compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which, he walks to do good. Yours are the hands, with which he blesses the world." With the gift of creation, God has equipped us with all we need to do. We need to do His will and God gives us the freedom to choose or to deny that will! We just celebrated the Feast of All Saints Day. It is a chance to look into the lives of these people who have gained eternal life because they used the equipment they were given in love for God and Neighbor. We might model our lives on them!
As we approach Election Day, it is important that we all make the choice to vote! We are a blessed people with all that God has given us. To vote is to show our thanks and to accept the responsibility for what we are and have and know each vote counts! So many of us have been in religious and political conversations and get and know the feeling we are not on the same page and share very different points of view. We do not have to agree on these subjects, but we should be open to dialogue and truly listening to each other. Eleanor Roosevelt once stated, "We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together, or we are going to learn to live together and if we are going to live together, we will have to talk!" Pray, read, listen, reflect and even be open to true dialogue and let go of labels and strive to be open for each point of view rather than the negative attitude of against! Come to terms in love with our need for diversity and always be open to and for the common good. This was and is the love Jesus is talking about. God has equipped us with this ability and we must choose to use it.
We are equipped and gifted by the Holy Spirit as was Jesus and we must use these gifts. Jesus' personality and ours must be characterized by the wisdom He expressed in His parables. The understanding of the poor and sick He showed in action. The right judgment when tested by the Pharisees. Jesus' courage to continue the journey to Jerusalem when He knew His fate. All these are possible gifts we might imitate in making choices! Jesus' knowledge and with prayer and trust living and acting on the Father's will and His reverence for the Father as He always prayed before acting! We are equipped and are not called to sit on the sidelines of the game of life, but we must act and put our love into action. Vote!

CARS 2013, June 26-29, 2013, Heidelberg Convention Center, Germany
The CARS congress is the yearly event for a renowned international community of scientists, engineers and physicians to present and discuss the key innovations that shape modern medicine on a worldwide basis.
Founded in 1985, CARS has played a leading role in medical and imaging informatics for more than 25 years by focusing on research and development on novel algorithms and systems and their applications in radiology and surgery. Its growth and impact is due to CARS's close collaboration with the ISCAS, EuroPACS, CAR, CAD and CMI societies.
Following the long term successful cooperation, in many parts of the world, in 2013 these prestigious scientific communities will jointly hold their annual meetings as part of the 27th CARS Congress in Heidelberg, Germany.
The CARS Congress Organizing Committee invites you to come to Heidelberg in June 2013, for an extraordinary event in which scientific/medical presentations as well as stimulating discussions will foster new visions on the future of medicine.
At CARS you will have the opportunity to meet scholars and practising experts in the fields of radiology, surgery, engineering, informatics and healthcare management who have an interest in topics, such as
- image- and model-guided interventions
- advanced medical imaging
- image processing and visualization
- computer aided diagnosis
- medical simulation and eLearning
- surgical navigation and robotics
- model-guided medicine, and
- personalised medicine
New PACS applications, including IT-infrastructures adapted for the operating room, related results from the DICOM and IHE working groups, but in particular, new methods and IT-tools for modelling the patient and medical processes are increasingly shaping the scope of CARS. Clinical specialties represented at CARS include:
- Imaging and Interventional Radiology
- Cardiovascular and Oncologic Imaging and Interventions
- Computed Maxillofacial Imaging
- Computer Assisted Radiation Therapy
- Computer Assisted Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgery
- Computer Assisted Head and Neck, and ENT Surgery
- Image Guided Neurosurgery
- Minimally Invasive Cardiovascular and Thoracoabdominal Surgery
Recent successful CARS congresses have taken place in Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, San Francisco, London, Chicago, Osaka, Barcelona, Geneva and Pisa.
We would be delighted to welcome you at CARS 2013, which will take place for the first time in Heidelberg, the historic university town of Germany embedding many world renowned scientific and medical institutions.
Heinz U. Lemke, PhD
CARS Organizer

Congratulations to Nick and Nicky on their wedding, which took place at All Saints Church, Poole and continued on to The Sandbanks Hotel.
Hi there, I'm Daniel, I have been a professional photographer for nearly 15 years. Its the only full time job I have ever had! I started on a local paper, travelled around the world for a year, moved to Dorset and worked on national newspapers and magazines before starting out on my own 5 years ago.
As you can see, my style of wedding photography is a mixture of traditional portraits and reportage photos. Its entirely up to you what blend of pictures you want. Most couples like me to be quietly capturing all those little moments throughout the day, and to then also organise the groups too. I am happy doing both.

Acclaimed among Hudson Valley gardens, our gardens date back to the time when Mohonk's founder Albert K. Smiley nurtured his first plants on a rocky mountaintop. When the property surrounding the Mountain House was purchased in 1869, the rugged pitch pine and laurel reached to the doorstep of the original building.
The long history of the gardens' creation began with a few struggling blossoms near the lake shore.
Mohonk's upstate New York gardens were designed to fit into the picturesque or romantic style of landscape gardening: irregular in form, with variety and boldness of composition, and scenery of a more rugged nature.
Our gardens reflect the influence of the French and Italian, but mostly English styles of landscaping of the mid-19th century. Although growing things are never static, the landscape still possesses many of the characteristics familiar in that period. Albert Smiley's design intent has been maintained as the gardens have matured and evolved.
In 1998, a Victorian maze was added next to the Rose Garden, providing old-fashioned entertainment for the gardens' visitors.
Mohonk Mountain House has received national recognition for the plantings and stewardship of the grounds, and in 1997, Mohonk's gardens were honored to receive the Grand Award for Grounds Maintenance from the Professional Grounds Management Association.
For additional information, please call the Mohonk Greenhouse at 845.256.2152.
The Greenhouse at Mohonk Mountain House is a short walk from the Mountain House and a fascinating place for flora lovers to see how our award-winning gardens get their start. During the winter months, the Greenhouse is used to grow seedlings and potted plants for use in our summer gardens and in the Mountain House.
The Mohonk Greenhouse is open daily, year-round and offers guided greenhouse tours, providing the opportunity to talk with Mohonk horticulturists. Heirloom plants, plant baskets, garden accents, and indoor gardening supplies are available for sale year-round. Return home with a living piece of our mountaintop!
During the winter months, come visit our tropical paradise for a breath of warm air and lush greenery. Come see our horticultural team preparing for next season's gardens.
For additional information, please call the Mohonk Greenhouse at 845.256.2152.
The Garden Shop at Mohonk Mountain House is located in the Greenhouse, offering garden statuary, an assortment of handmade baskets, candles, bird-feeders, chimes, botanical soaps, seed packets and a great selection of garden related gifts.
The Garden Shop is open seven days a week, from 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
For additional information, please call the Mohonk Greenhouse at 845.256.2152.
Mohonk offers a theme program especially for gardeners. Garden Holiday celebrates the final peak of our gardens at summer's end. Enjoy workshops and lectures as you learn from garden experts.

Ready, Set, Game PDX
Admission: Free to the public
Ready, Set, Game PDX is a story gaming community for one-shot thematic role-playing games.
This week they have The Mountain Witch and Ocean!
"The Mountain Witch" by Timothy Kleinert is a single role-playing adventure in which the players take on the roles of ronin, masterless samurai in mythical medieval Japan, who have been hired to attempt an assault on the Mountain Witch of Mount Fuji, O-Yanma. The characters may have different reasons for accepting the task, but what they share is that they have all been disenfranchised from their former lives and from society. They also have all grown desperate from the difficulties of their lives, and hope the payoff from this adventure will finally allow them to regain whatever life they have lost.
Ocean is a game about self discovery and survival created by Portland's own Jake Richmond and published by Atarashi Games. "We're a group of people trapped in an underwater research station. We can't remember who we are or why we're there. We don't know what the monsters are that are picking us off one at a time. All we know is that we need to get out. We want to escape. That's what Ocean is about."

I love the Rose of Sharon, this would be a HUGE time saver. I loved your lady bug!
I wouldd get a strip cutter! That would be pretty versatile! Thanks for the giveaway!
kaleighrider {at} gmail {dot} com
birdies!!!! xx
I love them all but I especially love the birds. How exciting for a change to win this machine.
Love, love, love the flowers!! Niki
I would probably have to say I love the Roses of Sharon
jbuxton09(at)gmail dot com
So cool! I loved the snowflakes. Who am I kidding? The holiday dies make me want t start the holiday crafting NOW!
Thanks for having such a cool giveaway.
jcnemom at hotmail dot com
Snowflakes or Reindeer! I would never have the patience (or skill) to cut those by hand.
Oh so hard, but for fun I'd go the Holiday Medley! Thanks Jess :)
I like the Fun Flower one...can imagine a lot of fun projects with this!
Klineca AT gmail DOT com
Any of the flowers are some of my favorites.
I would love to win one! I think the snowflake is my favorite. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love the reindeer! I hadn't seen that one before. But I think my favorite would be the square one, to help with patchwork. Great giveaway!
I agree with the previous commenter who says "just one?" LOL!
But, I think the one I would put at the top of my list would be Hexagons because I have a quilt I'd like to try and do with that shape.
With that said, though, there are *so* many I could use for quilting!
wish2adopt at hotmail dot com
Ooooh I think I would have to say the 2.5" strip die, so useful for quilts and binding! thanks for the giveaway
I heart strip cutter and critters
The birds win me over!! And I've got a new granddaughter in Nov. so I hope I win this!! Thanks!!
I have been wanting one of these really really badly!!
my three favorite dies are GO! Birds, Go! Circle, and GO! Critters
So many nice ones! I'd love the equilateral triangles and apple core for making quilts, I'm so bad with scissors I never make anything challenging. I also adore the birds! So sweet!
Here's my e-mail: jenny-niemela (miaow-insert-cattail) gmail.com
I like the birdies!!
I think the flower die is sooooo cute!
If I could pick only one, it would probably be the pumpkins. I'm definitely in fall/Halloween mode!
the baby alphabet is my fave
Oh, I SO want one of these after seeing your earlier post! I would love the Rose of Sharon die for making felt hair clips!
I like the Go! Birds & Go! Critters... I think you could do a lot with either of them! - Jenny
I'm torn between the fall and holiday medley. Both would be so handy this time of the year.
I love the birdies!
I've been looking for a way to make cutting out flowers easier. My scissor skills aren't that great. I really like the Rose of Sharon.
Love the circle one because I am horrible at cutting out circles and I can use them for so many different projects!
I would really get some mileage out of this tool. My faces are
And round flower.
The daisy. No, the birdies. No, the circles.... Oh! The rose of sharon!
So awesome! :) I love the Holiday Medley die!
Good luck everyone!
I love the perfect circles!! So handy. The flowers are a close second.
I would want the circles first, I hate cutting out circles!
I love the hexies or the circles.... I can't decide!! I hope I win!! THANKs for the giveaway!
It's hard to choose just one. Probably the Rose of Sharon I would get the most use out of, or the strip cutter.
I love the christmas dies! i love snowflakes!
nmtramonte at gmail dot com
Pick me! Pick me! I love the tumbler die! I've seen lots of cool patterns made with that shape that I'd love to try. Thanks for the chance.
So hard to choose just one! I love the funky flowers, but I also love the pumpkin one too.. I can see so many cute projects made out of both of them!
I think the diamonds! I love Lone Star quilts, and I'd love to make one, also, I was thinking I could use it to make an argyle style quilt!
I love the Holiday Medley and the Round Flower. :)
I love the snowflake and pumpkins and flowers and circles! Too many cute ones to choose just one!
flowers! always flowers!
sisujones (at) yahoo (dot) com
I think the reindeer would be perfect for Christmas gifts for teachers, appliquéd on shirts or on kitchen towels.
I love the simple circles die--it would greatly speed up making singed flowers!
Love the hexagons! I'm working on a hex quilt top and cutting the pieces is such a hassle!
I would love to get my hands on the Dresden plates. It would aid me to made some beautiful quilts.
Love the birds!
Hearts and Birdies and Reindeers oh my! Lurv them all :) H

I'd like to have the pretty flowers or hearts or other fun shape, but honestly I just want the basic squares! I would LOVE to be able to quickly make straight, even squares/triangles without wasting all my fabric!
There are so many!! I love the stems and leaves, I can think of so many things I'd love to do with that one. Rose of Sharon is lovely too! The hairclips you make are super cute :)

My grandma and her sisters-in-law use to hand stitch sunbonnet sue quilts and they are my favorite. I don't have one though because my mom will not let anyone have any of them!

Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the rag flower and circle. so cute!!

Only one! I would pick Holiday Medley: need to get Christmas quilts done.

I love the fall medley!
I figure if i enter into enough of these i will eventually, win...right? I would love the quarter square die, I have a number of baby quilts to make --5 due between now and december-- plus one for me!
The apple core one - I love how it looks so much harder than it is (unless you cut those out by hand in which case it would NOT be easier) so I really need this so I can make one, m'kay?
What a giveaway! I'm crossing my fingers and toes on this one. My favorite pattern was the Go Feathers under the applique section.
Thanks, Becky
I love the flowers! Thank you!

I would love the stars or the hexagons!
The birdies. No, the critters. Or maybe the funky flowers... Oh, I can't choose just one, they are all too cute!
I'd love to try the half square triangle - it would sure make my life easier!
I absolutely love the Fall Medley die!
I love the snowflake!!! And the birds.... hard to decide! LOL
I would have to say probably the critters.
I love so many of them. But, our baby will be here in December and I SO badly want to make him his own rag quilt and we have little room for that kind of thing. SO, I'd have to go with the rag quilt die for now.
I love the Flowers!!!!
I REALLY Love the flower shapes. I would put flowers on all my girls plain clothing!!
The rose of sharon is my favorite. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Oh the birdies!!!

I love the sweet little bird! :)
Love the birdies! shannonsnailathotmaildotcom

I like the birdies too.
I like the heart & star, as I am incapable of drawing or cutting an even star.
I keep thinking if I enter enough of these darn giveaways I might just win! I would love the tumbler die or the circles!
It has to be the birds! I am all about the birds right now.
I'd like to try the hexagon die for sure!
katie.muirhead at gmail dot com

The Rose of sharon!
I would love to get the circle die. I just made a project that needed almost a hundred fabric circles...the Go Cutter would have made it so much faster :)
Winding ways looks awesome! Love it!
Mmmm - Rose of Sharon is awesome!

It's a toss-up between Rose of Sharon and Round Flower. So cute! (My email address is on the Contact Me page of my blog)

In the last week, questions have begun to swirl about not only LaFollette's new police chief but also how he ended up in the position.
For a brief moment, I don't think the people squeezed into the council chambers last Tuesday night believed James Lynch had just nabbed the top cop spot for the city.
In fact, I don't think he initially trusted his own ears.
There was no discussion between council members about the applicants, their credentials or anything for that matter. In fact, entire council appeared disengaged from the process at times.

RPS, YUU Will beat THE PIT, for the game,right? Im gunna try SWEEDISHCHICKS link and signed up with VERSUS yesterday, hope my penche ADSL can keep up................oh yea.......ping
my last count for attendance.
~20 lower level
~400 mezzaine seats available for purchase as of 12pm
I dont think they have started SRO ticket sales yet.
Here we go! Go LOBOS!!!!!! Great piece on Knight they played before the game.
Nice shot there!!!! Gary with big hit as shot clock goes down.
Nice start for the Lobos, sounds like the crowd is rocking.
Why is it that every time we have a big game, we get David Hall and Scott Thornley for refs? Wow we are really pouring them in from 3 land.
Playing tough D for sure, needs to keep the lead in double digits headed to the locker room.
WHOOOO! What a way to end the half. They were up big on us last year, and we fought back, got to keep the defensive focus!!! Go Lobos!
that was freaking AWESOME! I'm pissed I can't be at the game!!! ARGH
Thanks for RPS's post and all the LOCO LAIERs'.............thought i heard loblair chant, no?
penche prodigy adsl feed, 250-550 kkbs, broken show on verus,,,, butt LOBOIS KICK ASS., YES.
Stuck at work, so had to listen online. Great win Lobos!!!!
Loved watching the Lobos play. I love the fact that they play hard. Playing 10 guys will help in MWC play.
Darren Prentice. watching him in the first half guard #20 was a thing of beauty. I'm pretty sure he got in his head. His INTENSITY on DEFENSE was a nice thing to watch. I enjoyed watching the defense more than offense.
get this: at one point it was 1 team foul for UNM vs. 7 team fouls for TTU. Guess what happens next?
they call it tight on UNM defensively and let TTU back into the game
I thought official capacity was just over 18,000. Your figures here imply that capacity is 18,718.
***added later
Actually, from GoLobos.com
Five times they [the UNM Women's basketball team] have filled it to the 18,018 regular season capacity. Four times they sold out NCAA tournament games when the capacity was over 16,000. Each of these nine games has come since the 1999 season.
Great win -- Gary is the real deal, if his is the mold from what the new recruits are cut, this program is going to rock.
A Good Pit Crowd...not great, but good...a start, something to build off of.
Giddens -- FAB defense and rebounding, he really is excelling on those ends...free throws, not so much...and struggled from the field (forced a few from behind the backboard and missed some open jumpers)...but dang, his defense is game changing.
Martinez -- continues to be a glue/utility/floor-burn player...still has a little Greg Shornstein in him (sometimes goes outside of his game which typically ends poorly)...
Farris -- had a great second half (three straight clutch post moves for buckets) and even turned a posible screw up into a crowd pleasing dunk!
Harris -- clutch put backs...really acting like he belongs out there.
Pegues -- he played with some positive, confident energy today and had impacts on defense and rebounding...still struggling on offense.
Top -- HUGE NBA three to kill a Tech run. Some underrated defense.
Every Lobo contributed to the win.
9-11 on threes!
It was a fun game...
Hopefully the Aggie game is a sell out and we shoot better than we did in LC.
Go Lobos!
yeah. those clutch post moves were awesome. Coach drew up the same play it looked like 3-4 straight times. #32 always took over guarding duties on JR as he went baseline, and faris seemed to cut in under to the low post for the 1 on 1 move.Farris -- had a great second half (three straight clutch post moves for buckets) and even turned a posible screw up into a crowd pleasing dunk!
I saw deja vu 3-4 straight possessions.
A real thing of beauty because they went back to what was working time and time again and these set nba like plays worked perfectly
We saw a lot of on-ball screens as well...something we hadn't seen much of this season. It really helped free up our PGs for key drives.
Living in California, I do not get to see the Lobos much. This team is coached so much better than the last time I saw the Lobos in the horrible pig tail game in Las Vegas. Thank God McKay is gone! It is great to see Lobo Basketball on the upswing.
Unfortunately, I had to spend most of the day catching up on work that was delayed because of the ice storm. I did get to see the last 10 min. of the second half at a local sports bar, though.
Naturally I was pleased with the results. Bos looked pretty good for that stretch.
Granted, I didn't see the whole game but I've got to give some love to Giddens. It seemed like every time I looked up at the screen he was making a play or involved. But the clincher for me was how pumped he was and the way he showed appreciation for his teammates as they came to the bench in the closing seconds. I don't think the guy gets enough credit for what he's doing this season and the turnaround he's showing in all aspects of his game and conduct with the team.
In any case, good win. GO LOBOS!!!!
Welcome to the Lair, Pasadena!!
NOT many highlights here but it gets the job done i presume.
KOBtvs 6:00 news sports footage:
Great comments, UNMFan.
Aside from Gary's great game, there were a couple of other things that caught my eye.
- Faris' post moves down the stretch. He had 3 or 4 great moves that were very encouraging. Would like to see Daniel put together 3 or 4 consecutive games where he's able to score in the paint like that. We can really use some an inside scoring presence. He's shown that he's capable of doing it, but he needs to do it with consistency now.
- Pegues and Harris stepped their games up today. Pegues still has trouble with his footwork in the low post and as a result he has a tough time finishing, but today he was more aggressive and he wasn't hurrying his shots down low. He's not a finished product by any means, but today I thought he took a big step forward. He's starting to develop some confidence, that's guud. Harris also was a greater presence down low today with some nice putbacks. Their next test is this next game against the Aggies. Would like to see both of them build on this game. Good things ahead if they continue to develop.

Birth Control
Birth Control Methods
There are many methods of birth control. Learn about the different kinds of birth control to help you choose the best one for you. When making your choice, also consider that only a condom will help protect you from Reference sexually transmitted infections (STIs) Opens New Window. To protect yourself and your partner against STIs, use a condom (along with your chosen birth control method) every time you have sex.
Hormonal methods
Hormonal methods are very reliable means of birth control. Hormonal methods use two basic formulas:
- Reference Combination hormonal methods contain both estrogen and Reference progestin Opens New Window (synthetic Reference progesterone Opens New Window). Combination methods include Reference pills ("the Pill"), skin patches, and rings Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
- Reference Progestin-only hormonal methods include pills, also called "mini-pills"; shots (such as Depo-Provera); and implants (such as Implanon). If you can't take estrogen, a progestin-only method may be an option for you. There is also a hormonal IUD that releases a type of progestin.
Combination and progestin-only methods are prescribed for women for different reasons. Each type of method has its pros and cons.
- Combination pills may reduce acne, pain during ovulation, and premenstrual symptoms. Both types of pill reduce heavy bleeding and cramping. Unlike the combination pill, the progestin-only pill can be taken by almost all women, including those who are breast-feeding, although it must be taken at the same time each day to be effective. (Combination pills are also taken daily but without as much attention to the time of day.) When you first start taking either type of birth control pill, it is necessary to use a backup birth control method for the first week.
- Patches or vaginal rings are similar to combination pills, but they don't require taking a daily pill. The patch is changed weekly, and the ring is changed monthly (with 1 week off after 3 weeks of use).
- Some birth control pills reduce severe mood and physical symptoms that some women get before they start their monthly periods. These symptoms are called Reference premenstrual dysphoric disorder Opens New Window (PMDD). There are birth control pills that are helpful for women who have migraines with their periods. There are also birth control pills for women who want fewer periods or who want to stop having periods.
- The birth control shot does not require taking a daily pill. Instead, you see your health professional once every 3 months for the injection.
- The hormone implant releases hormones that prevent pregnancy for about 3 years. It must be inserted and removed by a trained health professional. The actual implant is about the size of a matchstick and is inserted under the skin on the inside of the upper arm.
Intrauterine device (IUD)
An Reference intrauterine device (IUD) is a small device that is Reference placed in the uterus Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window to prevent pregnancy. There are two main types of IUDs: copper IUDs (such as ParaGard) and hormonal IUDs (such as Mirena). When an IUD is in place, it can provide birth control for 5 to 10 years, depending on the type. Unlike IUDs that were used in the 1970s, present-day IUDs are small, safe, and highly effective.
The hormonal IUD typically reduces menstrual flow and cramping over time. On the other hand, the copper IUD can cause longer and heavier periods. But the hormonal IUD can have other side effects, including spotting, mood swings, and breast tenderness. These side effects occur less frequently than with other progestin-only methods.
Barrier methods
Reference Barrier methods (including the diaphragm; cervical cap; cervical shield; male condom; female condom; and spermicidal foam, sponge, gel, suppository, or film) prevent sperm from entering the uterus and reaching the egg. Typically, Reference barrier methods Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window are not highly effective, but they generally have fewer side effects than hormonal methods or IUDs. Spermicides and condoms should be used together or along with another method to increase their effectiveness. Barrier methods can interrupt sex, because they must be used every time you have sex.
Condoms (male or female) should always be used if you are at risk of getting or spreading a Reference sexually transmitted infection Opens New Window, such as Reference genital herpes Opens New Window, Reference chlamydia Opens New Window, or Reference HIV Opens New Window.
Fertility awareness (periodic abstinence or natural family planning)
Reference Fertility awareness requires that a couple chart the time during a woman's Reference menstrual cycle Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window when she is most likely to become pregnant and avoid intercourse or use a barrier method during that time. Fertility awareness is not a good choice if you need a highly effective form of birth control.
Breast-feeding may work as a form of birth control in the first 6 months after giving birth if you follow specific guidelines. For this method to work, you must breast-feed your baby every time. You can't use formula or other supplements. This is called the Reference lactational amenorrhea method (LAM).
Permanent birth control (sterilization)
Sterilization is a surgical procedure done for men or women who decide that they do not want to have any (or more) children. Sterilization is one of the most effective forms of birth control. Sterilization is intended to be permanent, and although you can try to reverse it with another surgery, reversal is not always successful.
- Reference Tubal ligation or implants. Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure where the fallopian tubes, which carry the eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, are tied, cut, or blocked. A new nonsurgical sterilization technique uses a small metal coil, or Reference tubal implant Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window, inserted up into each fallopian tube. Over time, scar tissue grows around each tubal implant, permanently blocking the tubes. Most women are able to return home within a couple of hours after either procedure. You must use another form of birth control for 3 months after receiving tubal implants. At 3 months, you will need to have an X-ray taken to make sure that your tubes are closed.
- Reference Vasectomy. In this minor surgery, the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the Reference testicles Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window to the seminal fluid (semen), are cut and blocked so that the semen no longer contains Reference sperm Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window. This does not interfere with a man's ability to have an erection or enjoy sex. Men must have a sperm count check after having a vasectomy before relying on this for birth control.
Female sterilization is more complicated, has higher risks of problems after surgery, and is more expensive than male sterilization.
Contraception following pregnancy
Birth control is an important consideration after you have had a child. Your ability to become pregnant again may return within 3 to 6 weeks after childbirth. Think about what type of birth control you will be using, and make a plan during your pregnancy. Most methods of birth control are safe and effective after delivery. But in the first couple of weeks after delivery or if you are breast-feeding, it's best to use a method that doesn't contain estrogen. Talk to your doctor about which type is best for you.
