A simple Android application with a simple purpose. To create and save notes with as much ease as possible.
This is my first android application, extended from the "Notepad tutorial" on developer.android.com. Users have had this tested and liked it, so i wanted to upload it for the rest of the world.
It has a simple widget that currently shows the sum of all notes, and has a quick shortcut to add new note.
I am open for new ideas on how to improve this.
I hope you enjoy this application.

* Product Description *
ColorNote® features two basic note taking formats, a lined-paper styled text option, and a checklist option. Add as many as you want to your master list, which appears on the app's home screen each time the program opens. This list may be viewed in traditional ascending order, in grid format, or by note color.
- Taking a Note -
Serving as a simple word processing program, the text option allows for as many characters as you're willing to type. Once saved, you can edit, share, set a reminder, or check off or delete the note through your device's menu button. When checking off a text note, the app places a slash through the list's title, and this will be displayed on the main menu.
- Making To-do List or Shopping List -
In the checklist mode, you can add as many items as you'd like and arrange their order with drag buttons activated in the edit mode. After the list is finished and saved, you may check or uncheck each line on your list with a quick tap, which will toggle a line slash. If all items have been checked, then the list's title is slashed as well.

ListNote Speech-to-Text Notes
* Hands-free speech recognition at the press of a single button.
* Searchable. Notes are indexed for fast searching.
* Password protection option for notes.
* Share notes with SMS, email, Twitter, and any other app that accepts plain text.
* Quickly add notes. If you have a slide out keyboard, just slide it out and start typing.
* Accepts plain text from other apps that share.
* Password locked notes are encrypted beyond the first 20 characters. This allows you to be able to identify and search for the note, while at the same time have the rest of it encrypted with the AES encryption standard. This is the same encryption standard used by the US government and banks.
* Star notes with star filtering.
* Color-code notes and filter your list by color.
* Organize notes by category.
* Deleted notes are moved to the trash so you have a chance to restore them.
Added Features:
* SD Card Backup and Restore. Lets you make a backup of all your notes and stores them encrypted on your SD card.
* Continue button after creating your voice note, so you can add additional speech text if needed.
* Time to Breathe option - lets you choose how long to wait before stopping speech input.
* Full Screen and popup screen text editors.

* Carriage Return. You can say Carriage Return to simulate pressing the Enter key.
* Category Sharing. You can share/export an entire category of notes.

Popular uses:
* Text editor. This is the classic note pad functionality. ListNote works well as a scratchpad, memopad, or note book - much like the classic android apps colornote, ak notepad, and note everything, but with more speech-to-text functionality.
* Quick and easy note taking with speech to text. Your voice is "recorded" as text. Does not function as an actual voice recorder though.
* You can create a to do list, also refered to as a ToDo list, or 2do list. Similar to list maker apps such as anydo (any.do) or mobislenotes, but with voice recognition as a more integral part.
* Task list. Like other free notepad apps such as wunderlist, astrid, or gtd, but with speech recognition playing a more prominent role.
* Shopping list. Great when you want to quickly write down something you'll need at the grocery store.
* Notebook organized with color tabs. You can make a color note tab by long-pressing a note and selecting "Change Tab Color".
* Simple notetaking. Many people prefer a notepad app that doesn't require you to make an account and upload all your notes to a server like Evernote or Springpad. There is no account necessary with ListNote. All your notes are stored on your own device.
* Dictation software. You can transcribe your thoughts quickly and easily. You can then edit the result like you would with any text pad or scratch pad. When you're editing the notes with the textpad, you can insert speech anywhere in the text, and even undo the last speech input if it didn't turn out right.
* Memo pad. Works great as a memo app, much like others such as inkpad, mobisle, and catch, but with a different feature set.
* Secure notes. You can create safe notes that are private. These private notes are locked with password protection. When you lock a note it's an easy way to encrypt text from prying eyes.
* Google voice search is required for speech to text functionality to work. Most devices come with it pre-installed. If you don't want to use the speech recognition functions, the app is still fully functional without it.

On a sunny March afternoon, a group of visitors stopped by Nightingale's Acoustic Cafe on Lyme Street in Old Lyme for an impromptu music session.
The passers-by strummed a homemade washboard, rattled a maraca and then listened as teacher Dan Stevens and two students played "Oh! Susanna" and "Skip to My Lou."
"Bravo, bravo, bravissimo," praised Stevens, after fourth-grader Dante Occhipinti performed an electric-guitar solo.
For the musical-cafe owners, it was another afternoon dedicated to their mission to encourage the community to enjoy music.
"We really wanted to be a community-based music school," said Gail Stevens, who runs the cafe and music program, called the MusicNow Foundation, with her husband Dan Stevens.
The Stevens offer several programs - as well as coffee and assorted treats - at the 68 Lyme Street shop. Whimsically decorated, the cafe contains glass chandeliers, a purple piano, spacious seating and cheerful signs that state "Follow Your Heart" and "Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining."
The MusicNow Foundation aims to reinvigorate people's love of music and help them express themselves through music. People - such as the visitors who stopped by that afternoon after hearing a sermon in church about the music cafe - are welcome to play any instruments they want. On site, the cafe has guitars, as well as less-traditional instruments, such as a percussion instrument in the shape of a frog. And listeners are also welcome, said Dan Stevens.
"We're trying to develop a scene where people can learn from each other and collaborate," he said.
The foundation, dedicated to youth enrichment in music and performance art for all levels, offers music lessons and events, such as "Guitar Pickin' Parties" and "Friday Nite Live" performances.
The workshops are reminiscent of coffee clubs, more common years ago, where people could listen to music on Friday nights. Participants come from all over, including the local area, Hartford, Madison and Massachusetts, the owners said.
On that March afternoon, the two students - Occhipinti and Delaney Gagnon - were getting a lesson in jazz history and flexing their creativity, since they were assigned to write and perform their own songs.
Juli Occhipinti said her son Dante is very enthusiastic about the program. After one lesson, he came home and showed her how he can play a song on an instrument without singing and then how he can sing a song without playing an instrument.
"It gets the creative juices flowing," she said about the program.
Justin Gellar, 16, helps out at the cafe and is planning to write a newsletter about events in the area. The Lyme-Old Lyme High School student also enjoys teaching children how to play the guitar - an instrument he picked up three years ago - and playing the guitar at Friday night workshops.
"It's a lot of fun," he said.
The Stevens hope to help build a strong music scene in Old Lyme - a town already known for its vibrant arts community. Stevens praised the Side Door Cafe, a jazz club, for also promoting jazz and musicians in the community.
Gail Stevens said she often cites a fact when describing the mission of the foundation: 20 percent of kids play instruments, while 80 percent of adults wish they had.
"We're trying to switch that," she said.
The foundation hopes to develop a cadre of young musicians who can mentor each other. The mission continues to evolve and the owners said they remain excited about the possibilities.

This is a moment of suffering. Suffering is part of life. May I be kind to myself. May I give myself the compassion I need.
Many years ago, I was told that a teacher learns more from her student than the student learns from the teacher. This has certainly proven to be true in my experiences as a teacher, whether I was teaching business law, fourth graders or mindful leadership. And, as importantly, I have noticed that when I am open to the full experience of the moment, the lesson offered is exactly what I needed to learn.Read more »
I recently went to Hawaii for the first time, and a friend suggested we go snorkeling to experience the beautiful tropical fish firsthand. I try to be open-minded about checking out new things and I enjoy seeing with fresh eyes, so even though I had learned to swim only a few years ago, I said yes straight away. But it wasn't long before fear and worry set in.
I began to think about how I wasn't a very good swimmer, how I often get motion sickness, and that I would probably get seasick. I was sure the fish would bite me. This flood of thoughts about my past and my future filled my mind and offset any anticipated enjoyment.Read more »

Awesome place, Vic is a great host. The vibre and the people in the house is great, definitely visiting again next year.
My lodging was expensive but the price was worth the experience, I don't regret anything, People I met at Home were just Great. Thank You Vic, for all that you did.
Wonderful setup with great folks. House was really clean with lots of thought put into helping people enjoy their time there. I would definitely stay at any of the Hacker Houses again!
HackerHome Hopping, Part 3: Sunnyvale!
True to its name, Sunnyvale was sunny when I got there, even though it was mid February and cloudy in SF. And the Sunnyvale HackerHome? Fabulous, of course. :)
I got to meet Vic during my stay here (up till now my busy schedule meant I was out and about most of the time). And Vic is a great host. He's conscientious about his guests and honestly cares about making not just a bed, but an experience for his guests. I'm not exaggerating either. I found my HackerHome experiences so interesting that I stayed at four different homes, and each one was unique, yet with a consistent quality of both guests and accommodations.
The Sunnyvale house itself is in a great location. It's a quick walk from the Caltrain station, and I've walked there long after dark and it's perfectly safe. The girls' room is amazing — there is panelling and a fireplace and nice lighting, and best of all, and en-suite bathroom. The atmosphere of the room is woody and serene and peaceful and pretty darn cool. The kitchen is great and there is an awesome backyard.
And the people in Sunnyvale? Awesome, as I've found the people who stay at Vic's lodgings tend to be. I was commuting to SF so I didn't have as much time to talk with the other guests as I would have liked, but the time I did spend there, I enjoyed immensely.
If you are in the area, I strongly recommend this HackerHome!
Vic has made the 'hacker home' very nice indeed. The bedrooms and bathroom were extremely clean and nicely laid out. The common areas were less impeccable, however only to be expected when many people are living together. Vic was very communicative both before and during my stay. While I was very busy during my stay and did not get to know any of the other "housemates" they were all very kind to me when I did interact with them. There were many people staying there (maybe 10-11) and the house was usually quiet. When there was noise and I wanted to sleep, when I asked politely the music/moves were turned down. I would highly recommend staying here if you don't mind a group living situation.
Vic is a fantastic host. Anything you need, he provides it. Not only is this a place to stay, but a place to meet cool like minded people. Would definitely stay here again!
Vic has a great place. Enjoyed my stay at the Hacker Home in Sunnyvale. Really clean, spacious, safe, convenient (just 10 mins from the CalTrain station) and homely. Recommend it to anyone who needs a place to stay at in Sunnyvale.

What: Ping Pong
Where: Sycamore Table Tennis Club - just off Woodborough Rd
From car park, head right down steps and through opposite doors.
Easy to get to on no.45 bus from outside of FOPP (5mins out of town) or drive to....
Cost: £2 per person paid directly to the club on the night
So come and join us for what will hopefully be a regular third Sunday of the month session, 7 - 9pm, a social game of ping pong in Nottingham's Premier table tennis club, and possibly a celebration drink at a nearby pub afterwards.
Bats and balls provided. Tennis shoes/trainers/none marking soles - it's in a sports hall. Headbands, sweatbands optional ;-)
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

A hospice registered nurse (RN) works with patients and families facing terminal illness. They work as part of an interdisciplinary team that creates and implements a care plan. They are responsible for the coordination, documentation, and communication of care with the patient and their family, as well as the physician and hospice team. Aside from participating in the care of the patient, they may also need to attend meetings, workshops, in-services, and reviews as dictated by their agency or hospital.Read More...
Hospice registered nurses may work a variety of hours, including during weekends and evenings; they may work or be on call during holidays. Hospice registered nurses are often required to travel to their patients and perform their duties in the patient's home; because of this, they must have their own transportation to get to and from appointments. Most employers also require that their hospice registered nurses have a valid driver's license and at least the state-minimum automobile insurance.
Hospice registered nurses are required to have a registered nurse license in their state, as well as completion of a nursing degree. They are typically required to have some experience with geriatrics as a hospice nurse or as a professional nurse elsewhere; they also must have knowledge of the hospice care program and their role in it. In addition, they often must meet requirements regarding annual continuing education hours and CPR certification.
Hospice Registered Nurses fill the offices of leading firms VITAS Innovative Hospice Care, Gentiva Health Services, Inc., Home Health and Hospice Care, Gentiva, and Seasons Hospice. Heartland Hospice offers the largest salaries in town — $65K on average.
Hospice Registered Nurses generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in Wound Care, Case Management, Critical Care, and Home Care are correlated to pay that is above average. Most people familiar with Home Health/Home Care also know Hospice.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Hospice Registered Nurses do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $56K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $60K. Hospice Registered Nurses see a median salary of $61K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Veterans who have acquired more than 20 years report a median income of $64K, which is generally higher than the pay reported by other tenure groups.

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list
Have a great cruise!

Sorry everyone...we are on the 6/27 cruise, not the 7/25. I knew something was wrong with the dates, and I got the wrong thread! Duh.
Thank you for the add to the list IrishCowboy. It seems we have confusion by some as to what month we are going. We are in July right???? I'm known for my ability to be confused and confunded.
But, all should be welcome who are sailing in the Med in the summer of '13. (and others who may stop by Besides, if the one's going in June keep dropping by, maybe they'll give us some tips after they return and before we actually leave. I prefer to learn from the good and the bad that others have done, so that I don't make as many mistakes as I usually wind up doing on my own.
Edited one of my posts on page 1 and placed the roll call there to make it easier to find.
Okay, I also stole this from another thread:
Mediterranean Cruise Planning
Listed below are some websites and DISthread links for Med cruise planning. If you come across any useful links, please post them in our thread and we can move them over to this central spot. Some of you have cruised the Med before, or have done land vacations to the Eastern Med, and it would be nice to learn from your experiences.

We are DH, DW, Ds 15, Dd 13, Dd 10. We are also traveling with another family who are DW, Dh, Dd 16, Ds 15 and Ds 11.
We did the 10 day Med in 2011 so happy to answer any questions!
Hi there
We booked a "place holder" cruise whilst onboard the 10 night med last year (2011) in the hope that Disney would be back in Europe in 2013 and in particular - Venice! So...we've transferred onto this sailing Hi to both Helen and Kate. Helen, G has emailed L - she is super excited to learn that we're on the same trip again, they had such a fantastic time last year. This will be our 4th trip on the Magic and, like Helen, I'm happy to answer any questions anyone may have.
L will be so excited! She was asking me if you would be there, the girls will have a ball together!
We are booked Very excited
Hey disneycrazy2004 Welcome!
I saw that you are on the 7/13 thread as well. It seems a lot more active than this one. But, we do have a long time yet.
I noted that your DD is 11 now and will be 13 on the cruise. My DD is 11 now, but won't actually turn 13 until 3 weeks after we get back. I'm not sure how that is going to work with the clubs. I'm sure she can't get into the teen club, but I hope the younger clubs will be okay for her.
PS - Very jealous of the back to back. But, congratulations, it sounds like so much fun.
This will be the first time I have taken more than one week off since I was in school.
Thank you! We got lots of saving to do for the next year and a half. Hopefully everything will go as planned and we are going to have a blast. We are very excited. I grew up in Europe but haven't been back for a very, very long time, so really looking forward to it.
My DD will be 13 when we are on the cruise, not sure about the clubs. We were on a cruise in 2008 and both of my kids did not care about the clubs at all. But they will both be teenagers, so things may be different We got lots of planning to do.....This will be so much fun
My DD will also be 13 at the time of the cruise, we sailed the Med with DCL last year and my kids were never out of the clubs! It really gave them a taste of independence that they loved. DD had made friends with 3 other girls here on the Disboards and they went everywhere together, it really was the best holiday they have ever had. So don't worry I am sure your girls will be just the same! If you would like to PM me I will give you my DD's email address and they can start chatting
BTW I also have a DS who will be 15 when we sail, his friend also 15 is coming too so ditto with the e mail address!
Hi there and welcome Disneycrazy2004
We are myself (dw), dh and dd who will have just turned 14 when we sail. As Helenreed has mentioned it's great if the children can get chatting before we sail, it certainly breaks the ice! My dd and Helen's dd (along with another 2 girls) got chatting before our med cruise last summer and arranged to meet in the terminal prior to boarding (all wearing the pre-arranged LARGE sunglasses ) and then spent the next 10 days hanging out - they had an amazing time and still keep in touch now! They used the wave phones to make arrangements, went to shows, the cinema, had lunch, pool parties, kids clubs - you name it, they did it! My dd says it was her best cruise EVER! You're more than welcome to pm me your email address if your dd would like to get in touch.
Helen - thanks for the message, I've replied but let me know if it doesn't arrive....I can never seem to be able to retrieve my replies??!!
I moved the roll call to page one by editing one of my posts. That should make it easier to find.
Sounds like the group so far will be just out of my DD's age range. I'll think I'll keep that one a little quiet until the group gets larger. Luckily, DD only watches over my shoulder on weekends. A lot of my lurking and posting happens between breaks at work.
Hi Figmentfan!
dd is 12 at present, not 13 til summer, then just 14 when we sail. If your dd would like to chat with mine - just pm your email address!
We are booked - me, DH & DD (13 at time of cruise) & DD (8 at time of cruise). 6th DCL, but first Med. I'm currently in the middle of a 4 year course, so apologise now if I'm not in here much, but after my last exam (fingers crossed 8/5/13) I should be around a bit more
Sounds great - thank you I will PM you
This is too cute! I will send you PM and one to Helen as well and may be the girls can start chatting. My DD was excited when I told her. Thank you to both of you
And the group grows. I mentioned to DD about chatting. She's thinking about it.
We had a hiccup over the weekend. Spend Saturday night at the emergency room with DD experiencing pain in her right side. So far no explanaition. All blood levels are normal. No gallstones (okay, who ever heard of gall stones in a skinny 11 year old???) and no kidney stones. Everything functioning normally. Now, more tests. The doctors are leaning toward scoliosis and displacement of organs. The curve was very slight a few months ago, I haven't noticed any changes, but she grow about 3 inches in the past three or four months.
Anyway, we got to see her on morphine. She's was in the emergency room quoting Mel Brooks movies.
Now she has vicodin for the pain. The pain is enough that she doesn't even get loopy from the medication. I hope this resolves soon.
Any suggestions on making the roll call better??
Any links for exploring?

Yob Nation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yob Nation, by English author Francis Gilbert, is a non-fiction book that studies the yob culture in modern British society and to what degree it is increasing.
First published in March 2006, the book has received distinctly mixed reviews from critics for the way it defines yobs and the way it links everyday thugs to people in the upper echelons of society. Francis Gilbert starts with his own encounters with yobs in his childhood and while working as a teacher, before moving beyond his own experiences to investigate the thuggery and foul behaviour that exist in other parts of the UK.

Dexter the Game -- video game review
by Danny Gallagher, posted Sep 25th 2009 2:05PM
Fans of TV's Dexter have been clamoring for the release of the video game version for quite awhile, ever since news of the game's development first hits the stands. But just like the show's title character would say, patience and preparation pays off when you're trying to execute the perfect kill.
Dexter the Game would feel like just another run-of-the-mill TV to video game translation if it hit the Xbox Live Arcade or the Playstation Network. But this slice and dice retelling of the Showtime show's first season is special because it's on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
That's right, the touch screen manna from Steve Jobs' heaven now lets you cut up evildoers with a bone saw with the flick of your finger. Now you can fulfill the needs of your own "Dark Passenger" without having to max out your Home Depot card on visqueen and power tools or thin the pet population of your neighbors' backyards.

Big plays from a small running back
That was Preston spraying water down Smith's back this week at practice.
Said Smith, "He's kind of like this mischievous little kid."
Besides Preston's God-given gifts of speed, vision and elusiveness, Sanchez said one of the back's best skills is patience. Rather than just taking a handoff and plowing straight ahead, he gives linemen a chance to make blocks, then reacts.
"I just see the little creases," said Preston. "Then when I see daylight, I burst and go."
His attitude doesn't hurt, either.
"Look, I know I'm small," he said. "But I'm not scared."

Variety show to take you back to 1960s
Westwood Collegiate's annual showcase going back in time
It was the era of Mad Men and flower children, and the art it produced will be the focus of Westwood Collegiate's annual showcase of performing arts.
The school's annual event, For Love of the Arts (FLOTA) is back, and this year's theme is P.O.P. Goes the Arts — a celebration of the arts scene in the '60s.
The show takes place on April 14 at 7 p.m. at the school, located at 360 Rouge Rd. Doors open as early as 6 p.m.
In addition to an evening full of entertainment from five decades ago, there will also be a 50/50 draw, a door prize, and light refreshments.
Zbigniew Cichosz, Westwood Collegiate's graphic technology and photography teacher and arts department head, said FLOTA is an annual showcase the school puts on to show off all of the arts programs, such as band, dance, and choral. The visual arts and graphic arts students also participate by creating displays about the 1960s for the evening.
"P.O.P. Goes the Arts will show the first resurgence of pop art in the '60s," Cichosz said. He added that some of the displays will follow an Andy Warhol-like theme, with strong graphic elements and lots of colour.
The songs and sketches are expected to reflect music and plays popular in the '60s.
Right now, the students involved are busy with rehearsing for the upcoming show.
The final program for the evening has not been solidified yet, but Cichosz said the evening will resemble a variety show.
"There's usually one or two songs by the choral and band students. Drama students usually have skits that they perform in either twos or threes, and sometimes in larger groups, but they're just short skits," Cichosz predicted.
Tickets are $13 per person, or $90 for a table of eight people. Tickets can be purchased at the school's library.
For more information about P.O.P. Goes the Arts, including how to buy tickets, call the school at 204-888-7650.

Nuggets Injury Update: J.J. Hickson progressing in his rehab
The Denver Nuggets had a very disappointing 2013-2014 season, winning just 36 games after a 57-win season in 2012-2013. A major concern that the Nuggets need to address this off season is improving at defense that was 28th in the league in points allowed. They also need to come back healthy and that starts with forward J.J. Hickson, who missed 13 games late in the season due to...

|Alcohol, anti depressants and HIV
Feb 16, 2014
Greetings from Turkey doctor. Sorry my insufficient English. Because of my divorce, I drink a lot of alcohol (6 strong beer every day), I use excessive amount of anti-depressants, valium etc. I had suspect sexual behaviour 90 days ago. had combo/combi hiv 4th generation test at 90 days and it's negative. Alcohol and excessive amount of drugs, was it be false negative. Thanks a lot.
| Response from Dr. Fawcett
Thank you for writing. The good news is that it is unlikely that the substances you describe caused a false negative. Your pattern of alcohol and valium, however, is problematic. These two substances create a powerful and harmful combination. I would suggest finding some support where you can talk about feelings concerning your divorce and not rely on mood-altering substances to manage painful emotions. You seem to have been lucky this time however continued use of alcohol and valium at the levels you describe will create problems for you.
Take care,

Pic of my homemade light box for tracing applique
When I did the crayon kitty swap that Red hosted, as I was holding pictures up to the window to trace, I thought -- I need one of those light boxes! But when I looked at prices, it seems they were around $50. I've seen them cheaper since then, but still too much.
I had a piece of plexi glass I got for a couple bucks from the scrap bin at the plexiglass store. I got a shallow tub at a "dollar store" type place for just a couple bucks, and a plug in fluorescent light from Walmart for about $4 ior $5. (They had some that use batteries and don't need cords too, but I went for the cord.)
I took some sharp scissors and bored a hold in the side of the plastic for the cord to go through. I put the light inside, set my plexiglass on top -- and voila! A light box. I used it the other day and it worked fine. I may duct tape the plexiglass to the tub along one side to form a "hinge" of sorts. Also, I noticed the ones you buy have a whitish top, which probably diffuses the light. Mine seemed fine, but if it needs that I can put something like paper or an opaque plastic film over the top to tone the light down.
It may not be the best looking light box out there -- but it sure was inexpensive.
Great idea Laura! This is MUCH BETTER than what I used. I used the large part of a 2 piece angel food cake pan, a clear lucite cutting board, and my husbands trouble light. I can see I need to visit the dollor store! Thanks fot the
great idea!
that's a great idea. Some ladies in my quilt group have them made out of 2 X 4's. They are nice, but very heavy. Your idea is perfect. One question. Does the light get too hot for the plastic container. If so, setting it on sm. children's wooden blocks would stop that. More ideas - keep them coming!
Janice, I don't know -- yours sounds pretty clever too! I had the most trouble finding a shallow tub because I realized a taller tub would be too high once I set it on the table.
Carolyn -- I didn't use it that long but I think because it's flourescent it shouldn't get too hot. (Or maybe flourescent lights just LOOK cool, LOL.) Good idea on the blocks, I will check it out and keep that in mind for it.
If you have an old flat bed scanner, you can convert it into a light box. Simply disconnect it from any other computer devices but leave the power cord, remove the top flap, and just turn it on. The light should go on, and then you can lay down your papers, tape them to the glass if necessary, and trace.
Very clever. I will try it next time. I used transfer paper for a complicated Celtic pattern which turned out OK but was a pain to align the transfer paper, the pattern and the fabric. I have used the window for small projects but I like your idea better. I should get some plexi glass from the hardware store. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea!
Here's something that was new for me.
I have been doing applique for quite a while but I learned this at a class last week & I couldn't believe I had never done this.
She had us pin our pattern to our fabric 1st before putting it on the light source. I have always used a window & taped the pattern up 1st & then the fabric on top & then marked which allows the fabric to move around & cause all sorts of trouble.
I guess this is why there are classes, you learn the simpiest things that make life so much easier! Jill
I may just use your idea! I also keep looking at the expensive ones in the catalogs, and just can't justify spending that much for something I might just use once in a while - I've also taped images to copy up on the patio doors - not fun! Quilters are an ingenious bunch!!
I also like the scanner idea - I'll have to keep my eyes out for one at the thrift stores.
Good idea Laura!!
Another take on it that i saw Carol Duvall do years ago was just a plain cardboard box,put a hole in it for a cord,then just use one of those night lights we all seem to have around the house,and oh yes the plexi glass,scrap of course.Also these days those "Tap it Lights" would work also.
Finally, now I can make my own light box!!! Thanks so much!
I was also thinking if the box was a darker color, it would reflect the light better. Either way, it is fast, cheap and fun! I love it. Also, love, love, love the scanner idea. Wouldn't you know I threw mine out when it quit working. Wish I knew then what I know now! LOL. weaz
I generally avoid applique, but there have been times when I've wished I had a light box. This is such a great idea! I appreciate the tap light suggestion, too. That certainly wouldn't get too hot, and there would be no need for hole-cutting. The scanner idea is also great. I'm kicking myself, too, for throwing out an old one, Clarion!

This poll is now closed.
Just looking at the games I enjoyed the most over the past two years, it's difficult to say which did better.
My personal favorites for 2011 . . .
Dark Souls
Batman: Arkham City
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Portal 2
Infamous 2
My personal favorites for 2012 . . .
Asura's Wrath
Hotline Miami
The Walking Dead
Mass Effect 3
Binary Domain
Dark Souls and Batman: Arkham City are two of my favorite games this gen, but I can't ignore that every single game on my 2011 list is a sequel while only one on my 2012 list is. In a lot of ways, the games I played in 2011 delivered more refined gameplay . . . but they also felt less original.
I'm leaning slightly towards 2011, but it's a tough call. How about the rest of you?
2012 for me.
Pokemon B/W2
Mass Effect 3
Halo 4
Assassins Creed 3
Max Payne 3
Wii U
XBLA kicked ass
The list goes on and on, man
Royal with Cheese. What do they call a Big Mac? Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac.
Dude GOTY 2012 was an arcade game. I think the answer to your question is pretty obvious.
isn't hearing technically a dimension? so this should be called the 4DS. - I_Always_Die
This is really hard, 2011 was amazing, and according to a poll I saw,
is considered the second best year for gaming ever, behind 1998...
.....But that was last year, and I really liked 2012. Besides, 2012 had the Walking Dead.
*chooses 2012*
If there is one thing I have learned from years of watching cartoons as a kid, its that you don't F*** with Shamans >:D
Skyrim, Forza 4, Battlefield 3...
Favorite game to date - Xenogears \/-/-/-/\
2012 was an awesome year for gaming. Walking dead,ac3,me3, borderlands 2, prototype 2,far cry,etc.

Dude GOTY 2012 was an arcade game. I think the answer to your question is pretty obvious.
Sometimes arcade games are really good, even better than some/most retail games,
if 2012's GOTY was an arcade game, it means that game is really good,
not that the retail games sucked, and I know this is the case, because 2012 had a LOT
of great retail games.
If there is one thing I have learned from years of watching cartoons as a kid, its that you don't F*** with Shamans >:D
all_that_juice there is no "the" game of the year. Secondly, the only disappointment I have that an "arcade" game won is that it was the wrong arcade game, IMO. Should have been Mark of the Ninja.
Overall I think 2011 was better. Forza 4 and Skyrim.
Death to Videodrome, Long Live the New Flesh
I think an Arcade game or Indie game winning GotY (e.g. Journey, The Walking Dead, etc.), says less about the quality of gaming in 2012, and more about the Indie renaissance we're currently experiencing.
Small game development has really taking off in recent years, and I think that's ****ing awesome. I haven't played an RPG as whimsical and charming as Bastion (2011) in years, or a survival horror game as captivating and disturbing as Lone Survivor (2012) in years. Without the Indie scene, I would never have even had the option to play games like these.
Larger, established studios seem more focused right now on AAA titles, and minimizing risk by "broadening a game's appeal." In order to protect these multi-million dollar investments, entire genres and concepts, like survival horror, are getting left by the wayside. There's also a lack of evolution or innovation in recent, big releases. I still enjoy them . . . a lot! Hell, look at my favorite games for 2011, they're all sequels and AA or AAA releases. But I also love the fact that the Indie scene is flourishing.
Hmm, it's kind of hard to say to be honest. I might go with 2012 though.
