Chromosome Analysis, Autopsy, Products of Conception, or Stillbirth
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Chromosomal abnormalities may result in malformed fetuses, spontaneous abortions, or neonatal deaths. Estimates of the frequency of chromosome abnormalities in spontaneous abortuses range from 15% to 60%.
Chromosome studies of products of conception (POC) may provide useful information concerning the cause of miscarriage and, thus, the recurrence risk for pregnancy loss and risk for having subsequent children with chromosome anomalies.
Chromosome analysis of the stillborn infant or neonate (autopsy) may be desirable, particularly if there is a family history of 2 or more miscarriages or when malformations are evident. For neonatal cases, peripheral blood is the preferred specimen for chromosome analysis (CMS / Chromosome Analysis, for Congenital Disorders, Blood).
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
-Second-tier testing for chromosomal abnormalities
-Follow-up testing when chromosomal analysis and other studies on peripheral blood are inconclusive or when peripheral blood quality is poor or sampling is not possible
Products of Conception or Stillbirth:
-Diagnosing chromosomal causes for fetal death
-Determining recurrence risk for future pregnancy losses
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The finding of a chromosome abnormality may explain the cause of a miscarriage or stillbirth, particularly when the chromosome results show aneuploidy or an unbalanced structural rearrangement.
Some of the chromosome abnormalities that are detected in these specimens are balanced (no apparent gain or loss of genetic material) and may not be associated with birth defects, miscarriage, or stillbirth.
For balanced chromosome rearrangements, it is sometimes difficult to determine whether the chromosome abnormality is the direct cause of a miscarriage or stillbirth. In these situations, chromosome studies of the parents' peripheral blood may be useful to determine if an abnormality is familial or de novo.
De novo, balanced rearrangements can cause miscarriages or stillbirth by producing submicroscopic deletions, duplications, or gene mutations at the site of chromosome breakage.
A normal karyotype does not rule out the possibility of birth defects, such as those caused by submicroscopic cytogenetic abnormalities, molecular mutations, and environmental factors (ie, teratogen exposure).
Due to bacterial contamination or nonviable cells, we are unable to establish a viable culture 20% of the time. In these cases, the specimen cannot be used for chromosome analysis, so the FISH aneuploidy test is automatically initiated. While the FISH test is not as comprehensive as a chromosome analysis, it can provide information with regard to many of the most common numeric abnormalities in spontaneous miscarriage and stillbirth.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Interfering Factors:
-Lack of viable cells or bacterial contamination (this occurs in approximately 20% of spontaneously aborted products of conception)
-A long delay between fetal death and the miscarriage
-Excessive transport time
-Exposure of the specimen to temperature extremes
-Subtle structural chromosomal abnormalities can occasionally be missed
-Culturing of maternal cells rather than fetal cells
-Chromosome mosaicism may be missed due to statistical sampling error (rare)
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
46,XX or 46,XY. No apparent chromosome abnormality.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

We all had trouble not getting swept up in the buzz and media frenzy that surrounded the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29, 2011, and many Americans woke up in the middle of the night to be apart of this once in a lifetime event.
The children from the Choctaw Nation HeadStart may not have been up watching the extravagant wedding but they did decide not to let the event go unnoticed. They sent the couple many warm wishes and the best of luck in the form of letters and artwork.
In October they received a piece of Royal Mail stamped from Buckingham Palace. The children and staff at the Choctaw Nation HeadStart were overjoyed with the mail and they decided to share it with everyone as they feel it really belonged to the County.
It arrived in a relatively normal looking envelope, at first glance anyway. The front of the envelope was addressed to The Children and Staff of Choctaw Nation HeadStart, P.O. Box 97, Antlers, Oklahoma, 74523, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Seeing the country printed on the outside of the envelope was certainly not something that is seen everyday.
The envelope itself was made of a heavier than normal parchment and had a security feature of a completely black inside. On the front of the envelope the Couple's Royal Seal, the Buckingham Palace Stamp, and the Royal Mail postage were found.
Inside the envelope was a beautifully printed postcard. On the front of the post card was a stunning wedding photo of the couple taken by Photographer Hugo Burnand. On the back of the post card the following was printed:
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were immensely touched that you should take the trouble to write as you did on the occasion of their Wedding and have been overwhelmed by the kind letters and cards that they have received. It really was most thoughtful of you and Their Royal Highnesses wish to send you their warmest thanks and best wishes."

Limeroad Coupons Marketplace is booming
Vouchers and Coupons are the most sought after thing for e-commerce purchasers. After all who does not want a discount. Even if that is a 20% off voucher, it still feels like a great buy. Human psychology works in a funny way. For example, if a product is priced at INR 1000. There is a discount of 5% in one shop. And there is a discount of INR 50 in another shop. People will flock to shop 1. Although both are offering the same discount. Then Why shop 1? Because people like to see the % as discount value. To a buyer who is willing to spend INR 1000, INR 50 is not a good deal. But 5% seems like a bargain.
This is what makes coupons so lucrative to buyers. Cashing on the trend, e-commerce player Limeroad is offering special Limeroad Coupons which can help buyers get good bargains for their purchase.
So what is Limeroad?
It is an e-commerce venture for women. The store offers a selection of items like clothing, elegance items, bags, add-ons as well as shoes. The company has been co-founded by Suchi Mukherjee and Manish Saxena and is actually supported by Lightspeed Endeavor Allies as well as Matrix Endeavor Mates. "Our company really want to help make Limeroad the most fascinating label in South East Asia and also after that stretch that experience to additional nations in the world," claims Suchi ambitiously.
The gateway is actually prominent among women and a bunch of quality traffic coming to the site is from Facebook. Suchi urges that the clients they climb on the site are actually extremely various from usual eCommerce clients as well as there have actually been a ton of times given that launch that some consumers have actually obtained objects worth greater than Rs. 15,000– Rs. 20,000 on the web site. Test Suchi regarding these big spenders or even she is frustrated: "am actually uncertain where they are arriving from," she laughs. The ordinary voucher size of invests in Limeroad today finds yourself in the area of Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000. They lately partnered with a footwear brand to accomplish the nationwide launch of a brand new selection of products and also Suchi professes that TWENTY % regarding this recently introduced selection was marketed within simply 2 full weeks of debuting on Limeroad.com.

You know why people have eyes in the front? Because they have to move forward to see the landscape in the distance. If you had eyes in back all you could see is your home town getting farther away; you can't move forward like that. If your eyes are in front what you see in the distance keeps getting closer. That's what lets people move forward.
http://stopthecloppers.weebly.com/what-are-bronies.html is an example.
Just google Bronies and Cloppers otherwise. You couldn't make this stuff up. People out there!!!
he needs more time off to deal with his loss of time
I really don't think he'll announce his retirement, because I'd assume Dana would probably be furious, and ruin the "surprise" by posting something about it on Twitter.
Maybe he's really going to try and get into the Olympics for wresting, but that's not even until '16. Or maybe he's going to open his own gym(s). Maybe he's purchasing a majority stake in some professional Hockey team, or whatever rich Canadians do. Or a major sponsorship deal.
I already thought he was the majority owner of the Edmonton Rush Lacross team (the other sport us Canadians are known for). I could be wrong though.
As for the presser Friday - im just happy its in Montreal where he can speak his first language and not be subject to a language barrier, even though Geroges English isnt really that bad...Hope its not the end of his career and I honestly dont think he will announce that but we'll see.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Ok, I have a few theories to go on here:
1. He's retiring, plain and simple. He's tired of fighting and the wear that it's taking on his body so he's deciding to hang it up.
2. He's Gay. He's holding this press conference to come out of the closet.
or 3. Him and his coaches have discussed it at length and have decided that if he trains properly he can be successful for another two or three years and his next fight is going to be a rematch against Johny Hendricks.
I'm kind of hoping for #1.
Dana states that he is not making an announcement and he's just talking to the media for 10 minutes before an opening of a mall (2:32 into the video):
As White told "UFC Central" hosts "Showdown" Joe Ferraro (video above), don't expect much.
"That's not true; he's not making any announcement on Friday," White said. "This thing was planned for months. He's going up to the opening of a mall, and he's signing autographs for fans, and he's going to do 10 minutes with the media. People are talking about he called a press conference and other things.
"I'm not saying he might not have something to say in these 10 minutes. He might. But it's no crazy announcement like everybody was saying earlier."
White, though, suggested that though St-Pierre may take a break from the sport, he considers an official retirement very unlikely.
"I don't think he's going to retire," White said. "I do know that he wants some time off, which is an issue because he just had over a year off for his ACL surgery and recovery. So we'll see. I'm supposed to talk to Georges St-Pierre on Thursday when he gets back from vacation."
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus

If you have nausea, ask your doctor or pharmacist about ways to decrease nausea (e.g., lying down for 1 to 2 hours with as little head movement as possible).
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed.
You may take quick-acting narcotic pain medications for sudden (breakthrough) pain if so directed by your doctor. Also follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions for safely using non-narcotic pain relievers (e.g., naproxen, ibuprofen). If you have been regularly using other long-acting narcotic pain medications or narcotic patches, check with your doctor or pharmacist since they may need to be stopped before you start using this medication. If you are currently using a narcotic patch (e.g., fentanyl), the effects may continue after it is removed. Ask your doctor or pharmacist when it will be safe to start taking this medication (usually 18 hours after removing the patch).
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, irritability, tearing, runny nose, sweating, diarrhea) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.
When this medication is used for a long time, it may not work as well. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.
Along with its benefits, this medication may rarely cause abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol or drugs in the past. Take this medication exactly as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction.

Steven Spielberg's latest film 'Lincoln' is easily one of the best movies of the year—a rousing political drama and powerful historical tale of one of this country's most important figures.
Steven Spielberg. Daniel Day-Lewis. Abraham Lincoln.
These are big names to sit alongside one another, and Spielberg's latest film has had no shortage of anticipation and high-expectations.
Fortunately, the expectations were more than warranted. Lincoln is easily one of the best movies of the year, one of the best movies Spielberg has made in years, and one of Day-Lewis's finest performances.
For a drama largely about securing votes in the House of Representatives, Lincoln does a remarkable job at keeping its audience enraptured. Even with all the familiar faces, you begin to forget at times that this is a movie. Between Lincoln's humor, his marital and familial struggles, and the backdrop of the Civil War and the Abolition of Slavery, there's much more to the movie than simply a biopic political drama.
The film details only the final months of Lincoln's life and presidency, but manages to capture intact the full character, wit, and grief of one of the nation's most beloved and controversial figures.
Spielberg manages to enshrine the myth and legend behind the man while still humanizing him, and the result is a Lincoln that is more human and less godlike, and all the more admirable for it.
Day-Lewis gives us a stooped, world-weary president at once deeply passionate about doing what is right and willing to cheat and bend the law as he sees fit. There's no denying his skill as a politician, but there's also no denying the justice of his cause. If he is at all corrupt, he's corrupt in search of a more fundamental truth.
In light of recent executive power grabs since the beginning of the War on Terror, this made for an interesting inner struggle for viewers like yours truly.
We've seen the uglier side of too-powerful presidents, and we see it in Lincoln. The Civil War's brutal death toll is oft-repeated, and peace is earnestly wished for by men on either side of the conflict. Men who seek to end the bloodshed break against the shores of Lincoln's grim resolve.
As someone deeply troubled by our own recent wars, by the expansion of presidential power in this and the previous administration, watching Lincoln explain his use of war powers or work his political magic to buy votes for the 13th Amendment made me a tiny bit uncomfortable—not because I disagreed with him, but because I agreed with his actions. Because that makes me question my own principles about the role of government and the necessity of war, as surely Lincoln must have doubted himself and the people who followed him must have doubted during that long war over freedom and what kind of liberty would define us as a people and a country: the freedom for every man to be treated equally before the law, or the freedom to oppress and enslave.
Lincoln is not so much a biographical film as it is a brief portrait of a man at work. It's a political drama that makes the intrigue and politics of the late 19th century a fascinating spectacle to behold. It makes us complicit with the very sort of shady dealings we often worry are taking place behind the veil of government, and yet we realize a higher cause is at stake, that the abolition of slavery was truly a cause worth fighting and cheating and bribing over, that this nation could never have evolved and healed with the chains of slavery weighing it down.
The performances were all superb and even Tommy Lee Jones—whose acting style is perhaps the exact opposite of Day-Lewis's mad plunge into his characters—played a convincing Thaddeus Stevens. The radical abolitionist with a talent for long-winded but oh-so poignant insults for his Democratic colleagues often stole the show. His idealism makes him Lincoln's perfect foil and, despite their long rivalry, his perfect ally as well.
Some might say the Abraham Lincoln we see portrayed in the film is still too much legend and too little man, but I disagree. We see Lincoln less as the noble hero and more as the wise-cracking politician here, and the broken man beneath that half-smiling exterior, crooked under the weight of tragedy and responsibility that sit upon his shoulders.
All of this is fleshed out with an enormous attention to every detail, every line in the script, every costume, every last touch of make-up, and while the weight of the subject matter is overwhelming at times, we're constantly given something to laugh about, some story or joke, little gasps of air that make the whole film feel less like a legend and more like a story.
Speaking of stories, to make a long one short, Lincoln is very much worth the price of admission.

Ed, thanks for the info! As a matter of fact I am converting my cases to use shotgun primers with the insert, so that is definitely going to limit my powder selection. I don't want to limit my powder choices to something where I need to have duplex loads just for reliable ignition.
I am thinking about loading up some RE-17 rounds for the simple fact that it will be easier for me to buy that powder locally... 1 pound of powder is much more affordable than 7 pounds + hazmat shipping fees. Hard to do all of this on a tight budget!

Oh Sony. You try so hard, but you always come up short. Like PS3 vs. Xbox 360. Like mp3 players vs. iPod. Like everything...
Sony launches music streaming service, says they won't remove content from iTunes
Sony has officially launched it's own music streaming service called Music Unlimited, powered by Qriocity, and available now in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Their aim is to challenge Apple's iTunes dominance by providing a service that is available across a myriad of devices such as Playstation 3, Blu-Ray players, Bravia televisions and computers. They also plan on adding an app for Google's Android operating system so they can get into the smartphone scene as well. The pricing will start at as low as $3.99 per month and they plan on rolling it out to more countries this year.
Interestingly enough they are said to also be supporting iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad operating system sometime this year as well. The only problem for them in that regard could be the new 30% cut Apple would require based on their new App Store developer guidelines and subscription service.
We also told you last week that Sony was not happy with Apple and had plans of possibly pulling all of their content from iTunes all together. Well Sony Network Entertainment COO (also involved with Music Unlimited service), Shawn Layden says otherwise.
Sony Music as I understand it has no intention of withdrawing from iTunes, they're one of our biggest partners in the digital domain. I think those words were either taken out of context or the person who spoke them was unclear on the circumstances.
So so you want Music Unlimited on your iOS device or is iTunes the better way for you to have access to music? Tell us your thoughts on Sony's new service after the break.
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

I rather have xbox. PS3 got bunch of hackers.. I rather pay for security on the xbox
Huh? The XBox 360 is notorious for mods and hackers. The PS3 was only recently "cracked" in the last few months. I think it's a no-brainer on which system is more secure.
Jeff, you are a fu*king moron. You xbox fanboys deserve a frying pan to the nuts.
iTunes allows you to purchase music. This Sony app has monthly fee... So I can assume that it streams music. They are two totally different things and shouldn't be compared.
No, they should not be, and Apple probably has little grounds even under their own rules to demand a 30% cut. The interesting thing will be when Apple opens up their oft-predicted streaming service. Will Apple change those rules midstream, too?
so what exactly does this $3.99 get you a month? you can download all the music you want and you get to keep it once you un-subscribe from their service or is it more a streaming service? either way, no thanks, iTunes let me keep my music even if I decide never to use them again
Sony sues hackers which means I'm ignoring them for a while. Though I doubt I'll make a difference..
By the way, it's funny how native English speakers often make the its/it's mistake ("it's own music streaming service"). People learning English as a foreign language are probably taught more thoroughly to use it correctly than native speakers. ^^
What would prevent Sony (or anyone for that matter) to develope an app, but they don't release it to the app store. You go to their site, download the app, then use it to buy their services? Like Amazon having a reader app for the iphone that you get thru Amazon. Then you go to Amazon and buy books, cutting out Apple all together. If Apple insists on clamping down like it looks like they are trying to do, this may be the wave of the future. Apples' stupidity has led to the JB community and the Cydia store. This could start an entire new cottage industry. We will have JB store where you go in, they JB your phone, and then you can buy there services.

Esther, I'm so sorry you've had to find us after the death of your son. This disease is brutal and sneaky and very, very rapid.
I think that would actually be considered Class I HELLP -- Class III is platelets below 150K, Class II is platelets below 100K, and Class I is platelets below 50K.
We've had other posters develop HELLP in a second pregnancy and spend time hanging out in ICU, so you are not alone.
BP can normalize rapidly, or in a few weeks, or in a few months, or never. If it takes more than about 8-12 weeks, this is usually considered unmasked chronic hypertension. The idea is that your genetic tendency to develop hypertension was uncovered by the strain of hosting a foreign placenta and the triggering of the innate immune response that a foreign placenta can cause.
Sometimes headaches can be an allergic response to the medication, so I'd mention them to your doc.
Oh, and welcome to the forums. :)

- History
Greece, the southernmost of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Geography has greatly influenced the country's development. Mountains have historically restricted internal communications, but the sea has opened up wider horizons. The total land area of Greece (one-fifth of which is made up of the Greek islands) is comparable in size to England or the U.S. state of Alabama.
Greece has more than 2,000 islands, of which about 170 are inhabited; some of the easternmost Aegean islands lie just a few miles off the Turkish coast. The country's capital is Athens, which expanded rapidly in the second half of the 20th century. Attikí (ancient Greek: Attica), the area around the capital, is now home to about one-third of the country's entire population.
A Greek legend has it that God distributed soil through a sieve and used the stones that remained to build Greece. The country's barren landscape has historically caused the people to migrate. The Greeks, like the Jews and the Armenians, traditionally have been a people of diaspora, and several million people of Greek descent live in various parts of the world. Xeniteia, or sojourning in foreign lands, with its strong overtones of nostalgia for the faraway homeland, has been a central element in the historical experience of the Greek people.
Greece is a country that is at once European, Balkan, Mediterranean, and Near Eastern. It lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and Africa and is heir to the heritages of Classical Greece, the Byzantine Empire, and nearly four centuries of Ottoman Turkish rule.
Greece is bordered to the east by the Aegean Sea, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the west by the Ionian Sea. Only to the north and northeast does it have land borders (totaling some 735 miles [1,180 km]), with, from west to east, Albania, the Republic of Macedonia (see Researcher's Note: Macedonia: the provenance of the name), Bulgaria, and Turkey. The Greek landscape is conspicuous not only for its rugged beauty but also for its complexity and variety. Three elements dominate: the sea, the mountains, and the lowland. The Greek mainland is sharply indented; arms and inlets of the sea penetrate so deeply that only a small, wedge-shaped portion of the interior is more than 50 miles (80 km) from the coast. The rocky headlands and peninsulas extend outward to the sea where there are many island arcs and archipelagoes. The southernmost part of mainland Greece, the Pelopónnisos (ancient Greek: Peloponnese) peninsula, connects to the mainland only by the narrow isthmus at the head of the Gulf of Korinthiakós (Corinth). Greece's mountainous terrain covers some four-fifths of the country, much of which is deeply dissected. A series of mainland mountain chains running northwest-southeast enclose narrow parallel valleys and numerous small basins that once held lakes. With riverine plains and thin, discontinuous strips of coastal plain, these interior valleys and basins constitute the lowland. Although it accounts for only about one-fifth of the country's land area, the lowland has played an important role in the life of the country.
Three characteristics of geology and structure underlie these landscape elements. First, northeastern Greece is occupied by a stable block of ancient (Hercynian) hard rock. Second, younger and weaker rocks, the majority of which are of limestone origin, make up western and southern Greece. These were heavily folded during the Alp-building phase of the Paleogene and Neogene periods (about 65 to 2.6 million years ago), when Earth movements thrust the softer sediments east-northeast against the unyielding Hercynian block and produced a series of roughly parallel tectonic zones that gave rise to the mountain-and-valley relief. Third, both the Hercynian block and the Hellenidic (Alpine) ranges were subsequently raised and fractured by tectonic movements. These dislocations created the sunken basins of the Ionian and Aegean seas as well as the jagged edges so typical of Greece's landscape. Earthquakes are frequent reminders that similar earth movements continue, particularly along the major fault lines. One result of the region's geologic instability is the widespread presence of marble, which is limestone that has been altered by pressure and heat. Seismic disturbances are sometimes associated with volcanic explosions, especially those involving the island of Thíra (ancient Greek: Thera; also called Santoríni), which was virtually destroyed by a major eruption in the 2nd millennium bce. The vents of the Kaméni islands in the sea-filled explosion crater of Thíra remain active. The island of Mílos (Melos), which rises to 2,465 feet (751 metres) above sea level, is composed of young volcanic rocks.
Relief and geology provide the basis for describing the Greek landscape in terms of six major regions: central, northeastern, eastern, southern, and western mainland Greece, along with the islands.
Central Greece: the Píndos Mountains
The central mountain range, the Píndos (ancient Greek: Pindus) Mountains, forms the core of mainland Greece. Following the general northwest-southeast trend of the mountains of the Balkan Peninsula, the Píndos sweep down from the Albanian and Macedonian frontiers, creating a powerful barrier. The two passes of Métsovon and Mount Timfristós divide the range into three units: a fairly open segment in the north where impervious shales and sandstones have weathered and formed into extensive upland valleys and gently inclining hills; the Píndos proper in the centre, some 20 miles (32 km) wide and predominantly limestone; and an almost uncrossable zone in the south, about 50 miles (80 km) wide, deeply cut by winding rivers and composed of a mixture of limestone, slates, and sandstones. The range's highest point, Mount Smólikas, 8,652 feet (2,637 metres) high, is found in the north.

Hi! I'm Julie from 627handworks and I'm really excited to be sharing this quilt pattern with you. The design was kind of an accident. Originally I was playing with some 'bone blocks' I made out of strips and dreaming up a dog quilt for my spoiled pups. When I started twisting the blocks around I realized they made a lattice pattern.
This pattern is perfect for chain piecing and comes along pretty quickly if you make an assembly line of sorts.
1 Jelly Roll – Potluck by American Jane
1 Jelly Roll – Moda Bella Solids in Snow
4 yards of Moda Bella Solids in Mustard (backing)
Use leftover strips as a scrappy binding for your quilt
We will be using 1/4″ seam for all piecing and remember to press after sewing each piece.
Pull 32 Strips. Each print will yield 2 blocks for a total of 64.
From each of the 32 prints cut:
- Four 6.5″ strips, then
- Four 2.5″ strips
Pull 37 Strips.
Take 29 solids and cut from each:
- Nine 4.5″ strips
Take 8 solids and cut from each:
- Sixteen 2.5″ strips
- Four 4.5″ solid
- Two 2.5″ solid
- Two 2.5″ print
- Two 6.5″ print
Arrange your bone pattern.
Sew the sides of the bones.
Take your 6.5″ prints and lay a 4.5″ solid diagonally across the top.
Mark it from corner to corner with a fabric pen, iron or finger press.
Make sure your diagonal line is going the same way as pictured. If you want your diagonal to go the other way, you will need to place the excess of the solid fabric on the OPPOSITE side of print. It doesn't matter which way you choose, just be consistent so the seams on your blocks are all going the same way.
Sew from corner to corner. Open it up and make sure it creates one long piece. TRIM.
Lay out your bone strips.
Sew all the strips together.
After you've created a few 'bone blocks' I recommend chain piecing.
You will have a total of 64 'bone' blocks. Take 4 blocks to sew into a 'lattice bone'.
Sew the top and bottom blocks together.
Sew the sides together. Now you have a larger block.
Create 16 larger blocks.
Sew into rows.
Sew the rows together.
Use leftover prints to create a scrappy binding.
If you make a Lattice Bones quilt please share it with me, I'd love to see it!

I have been sewing since 2010 and was drawn to quilting because of my appreciation (ok, total addiction) for fabric. When I'm not quilting or petting my pretty fabrics, I enjoy kayaking, spending time at the lake and just being with my family.

A massive self-storage building soon will rise in West Ashley.
Charleston-based Quattlebaum Development Co. is developing a new 140,000-square-foot, four-story structure at 810 St. Andrews Blvd. across from Mex 1 Coastal Cantina.
The 1,200-unit, climate-controlled building with have three elevators and should be completed in nine months. Scott Quattlebaum said the company worked with the Charleston County Planning Department, since the property is not in city limits, for more than seven months to come up with a design that will be visually pleasing for the area and large enough to serve all of West Ashley.
The building will be managed by Extra Space Self Storage, which also manages Quattlebaum's three-story, 100,000-square-foot self-storage business on Heriot Street on Charleston's upper peninsula. The new building's price was not disclosed.
Richard Morse of Palmetto Commercial Properties is a partner in the project.
Queen's reign ends
After 12 years on Daniel Island, Queen Anne's Revenge has turned off the lights for good.
The restaurant and bar at 160 Fairchild St. was part of Neighborhood Dining Group, which once launched the Buccaneer in downtown Charleston. The pirate-themed restaurant closed in 2010 after two years.
"To our valued and loyal guests who have supported us over the years, we want to thank you," Neighborhood Dining Group President David Howard said in a statement on the restaurant's website. "We will miss you all."
An earlier posting on Queen Anne's Facebook page said the restaurant and the nearby Hampton Inn "are in the process of being acquired by a local development group." That part of Howard's statement was later removed.
Neighborhood Dining Group continues to operate Husk in Charleston and Nashville, McCrady's in Charleston and Chicago's Steak and Seafood in Roswell, Ga., near Atlanta.
Burch perch
C. Wonder, a women's clothing, accessories and home decor shop, will open its 15th store this fall at 285 King St. in downtown Charleston, where the Puma shoe shop was once located.
The shop, which first opened in New York City in 2011, is the brainchild of investor J. Christopher Burch, founder and CEO of Burch Creative Capital and ex-husband of celebrity fashion designer Tory Burch. It also will offer footwear, jewelry, housewares, personal electronics, monogramming and other personalized products. The average product will sell for under $50 in a floor plan divided into themed rooms.
Refueling break
The Hess station at 1683 U.S. Highway 17 at Venning Road in Mount Pleasant has been shut down for a complete makeover. It will reopen after renovations.
Light fixture
Lyndon Leigh, an affiliate of Candelabra Inc. lighting and home decor store in Mount Pleasant, will open this fall in a 4,437-square-foot space at 1944 Long Grove Drive in Seaside Farms in Mount Pleasant, according to Jonathan Chalfie with Lee & Associates real estate firm.
The shop specializes in gifts, home decor, furniture and lighting and will introduce new brands to the Lowcountry such as Jonathan Adler Home. This is the first Lyndon Leigh location.

If you find youreself asking this, please read on. If not, read on anyway. Perhaps it will help you understand what it may be like for someone you possibly know with asperges or some other form of autism.
As a person with PDD NOS (very similar to aspergers) I can explain what I deal with and see if any rings true with you. If it does perhaps you may have aspergers or some other form of autism. I believe it is more common than people think.
- feeling clueless in new or social situations. For me I like to be accompanied by someone who is familiar and can introduce me to people.
- Trouble recognizing faces. If I don't see the person often or nothing stands out, it is like meeting them for the first time just about every time I meet them. If I do learn to recognize someone, I may only recognize them in a particular setting and context. Anywhere else, they are like a stranger to me. If they try to talk with me, it is like meeting them the first time.
- Noises, visual clutter, chaos... tend to overwhelm me and make me melt down. For me a trigger is shopping at our local Walmart and Cub's Foods. Any time I hear a kid under 5 shrieking to the top of their lungs, I have to get out of the setting. Not only is it annoying but it HURTS my ears. If I can't leave then I feel intense anxiety like a wild animal trapped in a cage. Vacuums, lawn mowers, blenders, etc HURT my ears. If I don't plug my ears somehow, then I get ringing in my ears after the thing is done. (Which may imply the possibility the noise can cause actual damage, not just be perceived pain.)
Personality wise I'm rather friendly though may be perceived by others as shy or stuck up. I interact best one on one. In a group setting I have a tendency to interrupt because I have no idea when to join a conversation and I want to get my word in before they change subject! Either that or I just stay quiet...
If people try to greet me, I may not always notice. If someone waves, I may not wave back because I don't know if they are looking at me or someone else. Or I may wave back when someone is not greeting me...
Socially I have to blunder my way through, because every experience is a new one and without being able to fully understand people's emotions on an emotional level I have to put on an act and hope I am acting appropriately. Things like sympathy are the most difficult. My understanding of feelings for others is different. I analyze and try to understand on a cognitive level. (For me that's often using my imagination and transferring to my imaginary "characters" whether that be the characters I write about or temporary human characters...
Basically if you're talking to me, I am trying to make a movie of you in my head, animated and as detailed as possible.) This slows me down and others may confuse me with being delayed or "retarded" Especially if I start asking questions like "What kind of dog?" "What color was the car?" The person may be offended because that is totally irrelevant to what they were telling about. To an autistic, it is important for making our mental movie as identical to what you're seeing in your head as you are sharing your story as possible!
That's just a few examples.

Lipault Paris 26" Upright 4-Wheeled Trolley 6 6
Not so good a bag I agree with the other reviewers that the Lipault is very lightweight, good looking, and stretches to hold a lot of items. However, the telescopic handle is rather flimsy and shakes while rolling. I am currently on a trip with it now and while in the airport, with only 35 lbs in it, the handle felt like it was loosely attached, hence not easy to steer when rolling the bag through the terminal. The 4 wheels did not do well on carpet at the hotel and again the handle felt like it was straining. I'm surprised it hasn't broken yet. Unless they build a stronger handle, I will not use it again, which will be a wasted purchase for me. April 11, 2015
Excellent AND Lightweight I bought this 26" Lipault suitcase last year in order to travel worldwide without a heavy bag. My Lipault has survived trips to Japan, England, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Turkey and has been stellar. Just last week, my DH, using another brand of bag, had to either pay a $200 fee for an overweight bag in Athens, or dump stuff out of his suitcase. My Lipault was able to be stuffed with even more of his clothing and accessories, and still be underweight...and I had packed a lot beforehand of my own clothing and accessories! I recommend this brand highly. There are a few scuffed corners after my travels this past year, but most of the dirt and grime is easily washed off with soap, water, and a sturdy cloth. July 3, 2013
Great Luggage We purchased this luggage to go on a trip to Australia this year. Both pieces of luggage have now easily been on over 20 flights, long and short distances. international and domestic . We love the size, weight and how well this soft sided luggage fabric handles normal airline abuse. No tears, nothing missing and zippers are all intact! Would buy it this product again for sure!! November 18, 2013
fine looking bag The luggage is light and durable. It will be of good use for my travel plans this year. January 29, 2015
Fantastic luggage I loved this suitcase so much I bought one as a gift for a friend and one for my husband. It is unbelievable how much you can stuff in it and how lightweight it is. Fantastic quality. I piled another bag on top and it wheeled right over the cobble stones of Europe. Great bag. I also like the soft sides. It makes it easier to stuff in trunks, etc. September 26, 2013
great luggage Bought this as a gift for my traveling husband when the zipper on his other case broke. Loves it. Best ever. lightweight, durable and able to stuff large amounts in. December 4, 2013

Palmetto Christian Academy quarterback/defensive back J.T. Waters has received serious collegiate scholarship interest from several schools in the Southeast.
His father, Johnny, who is also the Eagles' baseball coach, said his son has serious interest from Wingate and Newberry and added that UNC Charlotte, Coastal Carolina, Wofford, The Citadel and Charleston Southern have also inquired about the three-sport standout.
The ninth annual Mount Pleasant Junior Regatta, held at Hobcaw Yacht Club on Aug. 10, included 51 sailors. Gavin Parker, of James Island Yacht Club, was named the overall winner of the opti fleet.
Sailors of all abilites participated in the event, which included 14 420s, five opti white, four opti blue, one opti red and 13 opti green.
Hobcaw Yacht Club provided boats for sailors who do not own boats.
In the 420 class, Hunter Buyck and Peter Buyck, of Carolina Yacht Club, won first place.

I almost dropped my drink when I saw Ron Jeremy walk into Spago a few years back (not the bistro, the bona fide restaurant and nice bar). I had no idea who he was until someone told me.
He was just about the nastiest man I've ever seen, unbathed, in crappy clothes, needing a haircut and a shave, with two hoochie-mamas hanging off him. That was enough for me to intuit I didn't need to see him on celluloid.

Jersey Shore
When Will Snooki Show Lorenzo Jersey Shore? The New Mom Says…
Even though Lorenzo isn't even 6 months old yet, Snooki is thinking ahead to his teenage years. Surprisingly, she's not worrying about meeting his first girlfriend or sending him off to college, though — she's figuring out how to break her Jersey Shore past to him.
When she appeared on My Almost Married Life's "Double Date" web series, she explained if and when she would tell little Enzo about her crazy Seaside Heights life, and apparently it's not anytime soon.
"I just want him to be at that age where he understands like, 'Oh, you were 21 years old. I understand why you got so drunk and you were crazy. Everybody does it — you just had a camera following you!'" she explained. "So until he understands that, that's when I'll show him. And then he can also learn from it, and be like, 'Oh, I can't get that crazy.'"
JWOWW also chimed in, pointing out, "He can learn from all his aunts and uncles on Jersey Shore."
Snooki previously said that she wants to wait until Lorenzo's in school to fill him in on her crazy past (so he has a "normal" childhood, natch), but it sounds like she might wait until at least high school.
When do you think Snooki should tell Lorenzo about Jersey Shore? Should he ever see an episode? Sound off below.

Stone: Bill corrects conflict of interest for school board
Requests from Lee County residents and greater financial oversight are the driving factors behind a local bill that would change how members of the Central Carolina Community College Board of Trustees are appointed, according to Rep. Mike Stone, the bill's sponsor.
House Bill 512, filed Tuesday, would eliminate all of the Lee County Board of Education's power to appoint trustees and would give it to the Lee County Board of Commissioners. The commissioners, school board and the governor's office now each get to appoint four trustees, and the Chatham and Harnett County commissioners get two appointments each.
In a statement provided to The Herald, Stone said that "it was inappropriate for the school board to place trustees on the CCCC board that do not have the best interest of the citizens, but the concerns of the board of education. It is simply a conflict of interest that must be corrected."
"Our entire government system is under financial pressure due to poor fiscal responsibility by previous administrations," Stone said. "The Lee County Board of Commissioners is working hard to hold the line with the many federal mandates they must administer and fund. The school board and CCCC compete for funding from the Board of Commissioners. . . Moving the trustee selections to the board of commissioners guarantees that the best interest of citizens will be the number one concern and fiscal accountability will be a major factor in the decision process."
Stone didn't say whether he'd spoken to trustees, school board members or commissioners, but did say he'd had discussions with residents who brought the issue to his attention.
"The Board of Trustees serve at the pleasure of those that appointed them," he said. "Elected officials, like myself, are accountable to the people. It is the opinion of the citizen trying to make ends meet and provide their children with a good education that I value most."
The bill would allow the school board to focus on educating Lee County's students, and placing the CCCC trustee appointments with the commissioners would provide greater fiscal responsibility, Stone said.
"The Board of Commissioners are entrusted with the task of providing a vision and running our county government," he said. "Fiscal responsibility in funding county services is the toughest part of their service. In these tough fiscal times, and with a large percentage of graduates of the Lee County School System requiring remedial classes to enter CCCC, it is necessary to put the responsibility of this issue in the hands of the Board of Commissioners."
CCCC Board of Trustee Chairman Julian Philpott couldn't be reached for comment Thursday, but said previously he wouldn't comment on the bill until he had spoken to Stone.
