Fifth disease is a viral illness that results in a viral exanthem. Exanthem is another name for a rash or skin eruption. It is spread from one child to another through direct contact with discharge from the nose and throat. It can also be spread through contact with infected blood. It is moderately contagious and usually does not include a high fever, as seen with some other viral skin conditions.
Fifth disease is caused by the human parvovirus. It is most prevalent in the winter and spring and is usually seen in school age children. Outbreaks of the disease frequently occur in school settings.
It may take between four to 14 days for the child to develop symptoms of fifth disease after being exposed to the disease. Children are most contagious before the rash occurs. Therefore, children may be contagious before they even know they have the disease. Also, about 20 percent of people with the virus do not have symptoms but can still spread the disease. The following are the most common symptoms of fifth disease. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Pregnant women who have been exposed to fifth disease need to seek medical attention immediately.
The most serious complication of the disease affects pregnant women. The virus that causes fifth disease can cause fetal death. The symptoms of fifth disease may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Fifth disease is usually diagnosed based on a complete medical history and physical examination of your child. The rash of fifth disease is unique, and usually allows for a diagnosis simply on physical examination. In addition, your child's physician may order blood tests to aid in the diagnosis.
Do not give aspirin to a child without first contacting the child's physician. Aspirin, when given as treatment for children, has been associated with Reye syndrome, a potentially serious or deadly disorder in children. Therefore, pediatricians and other healthcare providers recommend that aspirin (or any medication that contains aspirin) not be used to treat any viral illnesses in children.
Specific treatment for fifth disease will be determined by your child's physician based on:
The goal of treatment for fifth disease is to help decrease the severity of the symptoms. Since it is a viral infection, there is no cure for fifth disease. Treatment may include:

Lexington to pick new grant administration firm
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 10:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 10:40 a.m.
The Lexington City Council will select the firm to provide Community Development Block Grant administrative services Monday.
After canceling the grant administrative services contract with Hobbs, Upchurch and Associates in October, the council published a request for bids in The Dispatch on Oct. 10. Tammy Absher, director of business and community development for the city, said that because Michael Walser and Amanda Whitaker, key contacts at Hobbs, Upchurch and Associates, had left the firm, the city wanted to bid the service out to find the most qualified grant administration firm.
In addition to selecting the administration firm, the council will also make appointments to city boards and commissions.
Lexington City Council will meet at 7 p.m. at Lexington City Hall, 28 W. Center St.

As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Price: $19.95
High in the cloud forests of Peru is the mountaintop fortress of a lost civilization and an ancient legend of murder. The Chachapoya, or Cloud Warriors who lived over 400 years ago, vanished virtually overnight. For years, anthropologists have been hunting for who or what killed these people. Now, the discovery of a site with more than 80 corpses could solve this mystery. National Geographic joins a team of archaeologists and anthropologists who believe the answer is hidden in the bonestesting theories from an Inca massacre or an epidemic brought by the Spaniards to a ritual sacrifice or assassination by a rival tribe to finally close the case on this lost capital's ultimate collapse.

Women facing prostitution charges after DCSO investigation
Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 11:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 14, 2013 at 11:08 a.m.
Three women are facing prostitution charges after an investigation by the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office Vice/Narcotics Unit arrested Brittany Osborne, 24, of 1013 Doak St., Apt. D, Thomasville, Chasity Bradshaw, 20, of 105 Goforth Drive, Thomasville, and Whitney Phifer, 24, of 2024 Hogan Point Drive, Winston-Salem, on Friday in reference to solicitation for prostitution in the area of 1600 Cotton Grove Road.
During the investigation, Osborne, Bradshaw and Phifer allegedly solicited an undercover vice narcotics detective for sex in exchange for money ranging from $150 an hour to $200 an hour, according to a news release from the sheriff's office.
Osborne, Bradshaw and Phifer were arrested and charged with solicitation for prostitution and placed in the Davidson County Detention Center. Osborne and Bradshaw received $1,000 secured bonds and Phifer a $2,000 secured bond.
The three women have a court date of Feb. 26.

If you want to keep that shiny new iPhone looking pristine and sexy, then you need to grab yourself some decent protection. Whether you want something to match Apple's stylish flagship design, something to safeguard it from accidents, or something to show off your personality, we've got you covered in this iPhone 5/5S case roundup. When it comes to accessories, the iPhone line has always inspired some imaginative entries, and the latest release is no exception. We've got unbreakable iPhone cases, gorgeous iPhone cases, retro iPhone cases – in short, we have an iPhone 5S case to suit everyone.
Updated on 6-30-2015 by Simon Hill: Removed discontinued cases from Speck, Griffin, Slickwraps, Findables, Body Glove, Mophie, Nuu, InnoPocket, Edge, Marware, Hex, Ballistic, X-Doria, Cygnett, Sena, Lifeproof, and reformatted, updated prices, images, and links, and added cases by Sewell and Speck.

Sewell Monk Magnet Wallet Case ($25)
Here's a clever idea that tries to solve the classic problem with folio-style cases – the fact it's awkward to take calls with the cover flapping open. With this case, there's a hard shell inside that your iPhone 5 or 5S is meant to slide into, but it also lifts easily out of the cover and snaps back into place thanks to magnets. The cover and the back of the shell are finished in synthetic leather. It also aims to be a wallet replacement, so there are three slots for cards and ID, and a big money pocket.
Available from:
Speck CandyShell Grip Case ($30)
A striking look, a protective design–what more could you want in a case? The CandyShell combines a shock absorbent layer inside to protect against bumps with a tough outer shell of polycarbonate. There are also ridges to create a color contrast pattern and enhance your grip of the iPhone. The button covers work well, the cut-outs are precise, and you get all-round protection. You can buy this case in various color combos.
Available from:
Trent Trentium case ($16)
A slim case that offers decent protection is relatively rare so Trent's offering is definitely worth checking out. It combines a hard inner case with a built-in screen protector, a soft TPU layer, and a hard polycarbonate back cover that can be changed (it comes in black, silver, or gold). This case can also handle the odd splash, but not full immersion. The port covers are stiff and the Home button protection can impact on how easy it is to use Touch ID, but it's a good all-rounder.
Available from:
Caseology Bumper case ($10)
Simple, basic, and cheap is what you get with these malleable TPU cases from Caseology. You've got a choice of seven colors, each with a subtle, shiny pearl coating. It's a slim case, but there is a lip to protect the screen should it land face down and the corners can handle a drop impact. The cut-outs are fairly precise, and it's quite a minimalist design overall.
Available from:
MediaDevil Leather Pouch case ($30)
Hand-crafted from genuine leather, these pouches come in a wide range of different colors and stitching finishes, so you can get the look you want. The quality is high and the pouch feels lovely in hand. The fit for the iPhone 5S is tight, which should keep the phone safe and secure. When you need to slide it out you simply pull the tab on the back and out it pops.

Pretty sure it's second
First. That's where I came from! And, it's where it all started in the pokemon world.
I want to say first, but I played second more. :s
judging generations of pokemon is honestly tough. but i would say
second > first = third > fifth > fourth
No one likes fourth generation.
gen 4 has the best, most varied mechanics AND HGSS. i dont care about the DP games either, but HGSS man.
your welcome
i didn't actually play all of fourth or fifth
doesnt work on my r4 and im sure as shit not buying it
Yeah, I have no real intention of playing the fifth generation, even if I were still interested in Pokemon. It just looks too silly
fourth was much sillier. it's the first time i felt too old to play pokemon.

An intoxicated, 50-year-old Milford man with a bloody facial wound was arrested last week after causing a commotion at a downtown convenience store, according to police.
Milford police officers were called to the One Stop Market at 915 N. Walnut St. at 6:25 p.m. on Dec. 22, where they found Charles L. Bradley yelling profanity.
The officers learned that Bradley was bleeding from an unidentified wound when he entered the store and proceeded to curse at the store clerk, as well as make motions as if shooting a gun at the employee, said Milford Police Detective Dwight Young.
The officers called medical personnel to the store, but Bradley reportedly became more irate, attempted to push the officers out of the way and refused verbal commands when told he was being taken into custody.
Bradley was eventually subdued and taken to Milford Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for a minor facial injury, Young said.
After his release from the hospital the following day, Bradley was charged with resisting arrest, menacing and disorderly conduct.
He later was released on a $2,000 unsecured bond, police said.

|Walker earns third WAC honor
DENVER - For the third week in a row, an Idaho volleyball player is the Western Athletic Conference's Player of the Week, and for the third time this season, it's sophomore outside hitter Allison Walker.
Walker averaged 4.62 kills, 2.50 digs, 0.50 blocks, 0.25 service aces and 5.19 points per set as Idaho extended its win streak to five matches, clinched a second-place finish in the final WAC standings and the No. 2 seed in next week's WAC Tournament, which includes a bye into the semifinals.
Walker had her 13th double-double of the season in Idaho's 3-1 win over Fresno State as she finished with 17 kills and 14 digs. She had just five errors in that match and hit .316. It was the seventh time this season Walker hit .300 or better and had at least 10 kills in a match. She also had a season-high two aces and added three blocks.
Walker had her sixth 20-plus kill match of the season, and third in Idaho's last four matches, when she finished with 20 kills against Nevada in the regular-season finale. The 20 kills were three shy of her season-high. She also added six digs and a block in that match.
The Vandals are 10-2 since Oct. 1. Idaho's second-place WAC finish is its highest in its seven seasons in the conference, and its highest finish in any conference since winning the Big Sky in 1995.
Last week, Idaho senior outside hitter Alicia Milo earned her first career WAC Player of the Week honor, while Walker earned the honor on Oct. 31 and Oct. 3. It's Walker's fourth career Player of the Week recognition.

|Small earns All-Region
MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho junior soccer player Chelsea Small was honored for the second year in a row on the National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-West Region team Friday.
Small, a forward from Solana Beach, Calif. (Torrey Pines HS), was a Third-Team honoree after leading Idaho with 10 goals, four assists and 24 points on the season. She netted two game-winners and helped lead the Vandals to their first Western Athletic Conference Tournament victory and semifinal round appearance.
It's fantastic," Idaho head coach Pete Showler said of the award. "The teams in the West did really well both regionally and nationally this year, so for a player from Idaho and the WAC to be recognized among that group is really great."
During the season, Small became Idaho's all-time leader in goals (31), points (74) and shots (313), and extended her school record for career game-winners to 12. Despite attempting a career-low 91 shots, which still led the WAC in 2011, Small posted a career-best .110 shooting percentage and her second-highest single-season points total.
"It's down to Chelsea's hard work and the work of the players around her, and she got her just reward," Showler said.
She was honored last season as an NSCAA Second-Team All-West Region selection. Small is the first three-time first-team all-WAC honoree in Idaho history and was the 2009 WAC Freshman of the Year, 2010 WAC Offensive Player of the Year and 2011 Preseason WAC Offensive Player of the Year.
Small's award gives Idaho its third such honor in the last two seasons. In addition to Small's second-team selection last year, midfielder Jill Flockhart was a 2010 Third-Team honoree.

This report captures India's exceptional growth in reported remittances over the 15-year period between 1990 and 2005. It explores the relative importance of these remittances in India's economy, and then identifies factors responsible for this exponential gain.
This report draws from the existing body of knowledge surrounding circular migration to identify: research gaps, shortcomings of common policy routes, innovative circular migration policies, and critical considerations for policymakers seeking to design and implement positive circular migration schemes.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.
This report looks at what, over time, has determined the various departmental or ministerial locations of migration policy decision-making in different states.
This report analyzes the impact of established diaspora on the reduction of poverty in their countries of origin. It examines their contributions beyond individual remittances, in the dimensions of foreign direct investment, market development, technology transfer, philanthropy, tourism, political contributions, and the more intangible flows of knowledge, new attitudes, and cultural influence.
Although the relationship between migration and development has been widely discussed and debated for more than 30 years, a number of unanswered questions and unsettled debates remain. On April 11 and 12, 2003, the Migration Policy Institute sought to advance the dialogue. This report summarizes the key talking points of the high level meeting and offers some key summary remarks.

Salt Lake Chamber Women's Business Center 175 E. University Blvd. (400 S.) SLC 801-364-3631 | slchamber.com/wbcEmpowering women to succeed is the purpose of the Women's Business Center (WBC) at the Salt Lake Chamber. The motto "Learn, Grow, Balance" is a basis for services which provide clients with vital training, resources and mentoring to build a successful business. "It is a blessing to have a non-profit center that women and men alike can come and gain the support they need to be successful business owners, that will in turn, contribute to the economy and stimulate job growth here in Utah," says WBC Program Director Pamela Okumura.
According to The American Express OPEN State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, women owned small businesses have increased 50 percent since 1997. With Utah at the forefront of economic recovery, the WBC has a wonderful opportunity to improve an increasing number of innovative entrepreneurs.
Clients start off by attending Jump Start training, following by one-on-one consultations which provide individualized guidance, support and best practices while highlighting the importance of intuition, inspiration and imagination. To further strengthen entrepreneurs, WBC clients learn from industry professionals who present at bimonthly Business Essentials trainings on key areas of business.
The Business Women's Forum (BWF) is the networking arm of the WBC and stands as a synergetic place for women entrepreneurs to grow professionally while mingling and networking with professional women in the business community. Connecting women in various levels and places of business provides a place to celebrate accomplishments and create associations. This springboard for entrepreneurs propels them into the business community and the process of building relationships.
Workplace flexibility is an initiative integral to the WBC's purposes. The WBC hosts the Workforce Development Committee which facilitates the National Sloan Awards for Excellence in Workplace Flexibility program that recognizes exemplary companies providing workplace flexibility for their employees. This committee also hosts quarterly "lunch and learn" sessions to help employers and employees understand workforce initiatives.
Funding in part through a grant by the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Salt Lake Chamber, the WBC is always looking for ways to insure its future in order to continue services for entrepreneurs. While the WBCs focus is on women in business, entrepreneurial men are also welcome to receive services offered through the WBC.

Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /directory/library/Zend/Translate/Adapter.php on line 452
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Arthur: Please re-test this with the release. I have in mind that such an error was already reported and fixed before the release. Eighter with 1.5 or 1.5.1.
The problem still exists with ZF version 1.5.1.
This may not necessarily be a Translate problem, but I categorized it under Form and Translate as that is where the problem occurs. Form multi elements are passing ARRAYS to the Translate Adapter. This can be easily duplicated by using the test code I posted.
Should check the value in the multielement and make sure it is not an array before calling, or in the translate adapter, should make sure the passed in parameter is acceptable, or both.
2 things to mention:
First: It seems that 1.5.1 does not include the latest version of Zend_Translate. It has changed on 15.3, the release was done on 24.3 but does not include the change from 10 days ago... don't ask me why.
Second: Even if you use the actual trunk version where this has changed, you will not have the nested array from your optgroup translated because nested arrays can not be supported at translation. So you would have no error but also your optgroup not translated.
I will check out the latest trunk and try and test.
Like I said, I didn't necessarily think this was a Zend_Translate, problem. If the errors are gone, that's good.
The optgroup will have to be iterated over and translated, which is Zend_Form.
Hah... I already know the problem...
API Doc for isTranslated() and translate() states that $messageId can only be string. Zend_Form gives an array instead an string.
So in my opinion raising the error is ok because API doc states so. What if anyone gives an object as $messageId... this would also throw errors.
I detach Zend_Translate from this issue, as it's behaving correct related to it's allowed input.
This is a (failing) test for this issue.
I attached a patch that should fix this issue. Have a look at it. I'll be glad if it makes it into the framework.
Scheduling for next mini release.
Is it possible to include the fix in the current trunk, so we don't have to wait until 1.5.2 is released?
Emil: patience, please. I've scheduled it for the next mini release, but the fix will be in trunk first. I have a backlog of some 30 issues I need to hit before 1.5.2, and this is just one.
Fix committed to trunk and 1.5 release branch as of r9411
The optgroup label does not get translated.

Reviews for Old-Fashioned Fudge Cake
"Overall I liked the cake and I will make it again. But next time, I will make it with cake flour. I didn't have a 6 inch round cake pan. So I doubled the recipe for my 9 inch round cake pan and that was way too much batter for a 9 inch round cake pan. I thought the cake was good; but my daughter thought it had a baking soda taste to it. But I really liked the frosting. I am at altitude (5,280 feet) so I let the sugar, butter, and cream boil for 3 minutes. This worked OK as it made the frosting set up but not get too hard. Next time I will boil it for 2 and 1/2 minutes to see if the frosting has a slightly softer texture."
"I'm giving this 5 stars because the goof was on my end, not the recipe's. First of all, the cake was crazy good and moist. I made tiny adjustments for high altitude (I'm at 4,000 ft). I poured the warm frosting on top of the cake, figuring that if I waited until it was too solid, it wouldn't soak into the cake. BUT, I totally goofed the frosting. I boiled for the 2 minute requirement (should have been more for high altitude...my goof), and then I scraped the sugary parts off of the pan, like I end up doing with fudge, and ruining the fudge in the process. So my frosting was kind of sugary, but the flavor was fantastic! I will scrape it off of the cake tomorrow, and try again. AND...I used my Mom's old heart shaped layer cake pan...the perfect size for this cake. I will make this again and again."
"Did anyone have a problem with the frosting? After being refrigerated for 30 min. the frosting was still pourable, not spreadable, tasted good though."
"It was a lovely cake! Most of you need to brush up on your math skills! To make in an 8 or 9" pan, you need to double the recipe, for the same approx. height. For a 9X13 you need to quadruple the amount. It's all about the volume of your pans!"
"I tripled the ingredients to make a 13x9 inch cake. It was a little dry, but I got a lot of good comments about this cake. It was easy to make, and I will make it again!"

Reviews for Lemon Crumb Bars
"I do hope you are not taking credit for this recipe yourself. I just found it on Eagle Brand's website. Just give credit where credit is due. http://www.eaglebrand.com/recipes/lemon-crumb-bars-3971?CategoryIndex=1"
"I was intrigued by this lemon bar recipe as I thought the sweet salty combo would be tasty. As per the other reviews, the lemon flavor is limited in the filling and truly comes from the lemon cake crust. I didn't think that the saltine crackers added any thing to the crust. I doubled the filling (per other reviews), which was the right amount needed for a 13x9 pan. The lemon taste is there right after baking, but fades if you have left overs the next day. These were not that big of a hit compared to other desserts offered on the table. We ended up throwing away 1/2 of the pan. I will keep searching for a 5 star lemon cookie/cake bar recipe."
"I doubled the filling and only used one sleeve of crackers which did equal two cups of crushed crackers. I was sorely disappointed in the overall flavor of this recipe. It was ok. But I want great! Very mild lemon flavor and even with doubling the filling, it was still lean on the filling! So I won't be making this again."
"i'm re-posting here, after reading other posts below.i made these bars, so maybe i can help clear up any recipe direction confusion.basically, you mix the dry ingredients with the butter to make crumbly mixture. set aside 2 cups for the topping. the remainder gets pressed into the bottom of the greased 13*9 pan for the crust, or the bottom of the bar. bake it. meantime, mix your wet ingredients. pour wet ingredient mixture over crust.(this will be the middle of your bar). Sprinkle the 2 cups of dry crumbly mix you reserved earlier over the wet layer and bake it again.if you didn't taste enough lemon, try the suggestion i saw below about waiting till the next day.it's not just crackers on the top. it's a crumbly version of the crust.they should taste sweet and salty.hope this helps someone.:)"

Mulberries: The Turkish Delight
The Mulberry (Morus alba) grows on a tree that has a short, thick trunk and wide spreading branches, and is slow growing to a height of 20 to 30 feet. It is native to Middle Eastern countries such as Turkey and Armenia, and is now cultivated in many parts of Europe. The tree produces a berry composed of a cluster of tiny, closely-packed mini-berries, each of which contains a seed. The dried fruit has a subtle, sweet taste and a slightly crunchy texture caused by the seeds.
Mulberries have a growing reputation as a functional food with antioxidant properties. The main active antioxidant ingredient the mature berries contain is called "resveratrol". The berries are an excellent source of Vitamin C and Iron. For a fruit, they are also high in protein. Mulberries are yet another tasty functional food that you can eat as a light snack or add to both sweet and savory recipes, and obtain a nutrient-rich boost.
These Mulberries are certified organic and vegan. The berries grow wild in Turkey where they have been traditionally grown since biblical times. The Mulberries are harvested using sustainable methods and are guaranteed to be free of heavy metals, chemicals and pesticides. Slow dehydrated, you may find a pleasant crunch or a tender mulberry in the bunch.
Suggested Use
Eat Mulberries right out of the bag, or add them to cereals, smoothies, trail mixes, salads or desserts. Try them just with regular or nut milk.

Leland police officer resigns after checkpoint incident
Published: Sunday, July 7, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 7, 2013 at 3:15 p.m.
Anthony Bernard, the Leland police officer involved in a June checkpoint shooting in Brunswick County, has resigned from the police department.
An internal investigation found that Bernard's decision to fire his weapon was justified, but he violated department policies by not immediately disclosing that he'd used his weapon.
"You're supposed to report the fact that you shot in a timely manner and he didn't do that," said David Hollis, Leland's town manager, adding that the officer should have notified higher-ups of the incident that night.
Bernard waited until Monday to disclose that he'd discarged his firearm.
"This is fairly serious," Hollis said. "I don't think we have a zero-tolerance policy, but this is a serious issue where we need our police officers to follow this type of policy very strictly."
The June 14 incident began when Antoine Levar Graham, 34, and Jerry Onasis Melvin, 42, were seen tossing items from a Lincoln Navigator approaching a checkpoint before they tried to escape by driving the vehicle at officers.
Police then opened fire on the SUV, and one of the occupants fell out. Law enforcement stopped the vehicle on U.S. 17 after a brief chase.
Graham and Melvin were each shot several times and treated at the hospital before being booked into Brunswick County jail.
Graham is charged with 10 counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, 10 counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a government official, one count of flee/elude arrest with a motor vehicle, one count of felony conspiracy to flee, one count of possession of marijuana up to 1/2 ounce and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Melvin is charged with eight counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, eight counts of assault with a deadly weapon on a government official and one count of felony conspiracy to elude.
The other officers involved in the incident, including a corporal and three deputies from the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office and a sergeant and two deputies from the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office, have been cleared to return to work after internal investigations cleared them of any wrongdoing.

A Freeing Finish
(No, the ladies of Twin Fibers haven't yet posted all of the Mod Times Quilt-Along instructions. I decided to forge ahead anyway. And no, I haven't yet finished the quilt for my own quilt-along. The logic escapes me, too.)
But, you guys! I free-motion quilted this one! For real!
I've always had this irrational fear of FMQ. I can't really explain it. I tried free-motion one time when I first started quilting, and the results were freakishly bad. But here's the thing: I spent maybe five minutes on the attempt. Based on that five minutes—at a time when I could barely sew a straight seam, much less do something more complicated—I convinced myself that I just couldn't do FMQ, and I never tried it again.
I know. Whatever happened to try, try, try again? Whatever happened to practice makes perfect? My mother will be horrified when she reads this post.
At any rate, here I was, piecing this Mod Times top. I wanted to give it as a baby gift that is way overdue, so in the interest of a quick finish, I pushed ahead of the quilt-along (hopefully that's okay with the Twin Fibers girls). I really love how the top turned out, considering this was my first experience with set-in seams. But it is a bit wonky in places—those set-in seams aren't always quite straight, and I thought straight-line quilting would draw attention to that. Diagonal lines might have been okay, but I guess I was too lazy to mark the top.
So, I don't know what finally made me do it, but I pulled out some scrap fabric and gave FMQ another try. First attempt in three years. And you know what? I have no idea what I was so afraid of all this time. After a little more practice, I was stippling this quilt! It might sound ridiculous, but this was one of the most exciting, triumphant moments of my sewing career so far. I have finally overcome my FMQ phobia! Yes, my stitch length is wildly inconsistent, and I know my stippling could be smoother and curvier. So, it could be better. But it could also be a whole lot worse!
I feel like such a doofus for not trying FMQ again until now. The last time I tried it, I'd never done a block more complex than a four-patch. I didn't even know how to miter corners on binding. So something tells me that three years of general quilting experience was a huge factor in my relative success this time around.
Lesson learned: Try things again. Who'da thought? Okay, my mom. And probably my 4-year-old too. : )
Quilt stats: Size - 41" x 37". Fabric: Aviary 2 by Joel Dewberry and Kona White. Back: Henna Garden with some Aviary 2 pieced in. Quilting: FMQ stippling by me (whoop whoop). Design by Twin Fibers—thank you, ladies, for a fabulous design and wonderful quilt-along! (Wonderful enough that I just had to jump ahead!)
I'm linking up to Sew Modern Monday.
P.S. Sorry for the awful pictures. Another dreary, gray day around here.

it looks great! I love the way you did the colors in this.
and Woo Hoo on FMQ!! (FYI -- FMQ is what got me a new machine... my husband sat next to me while I quilted my Dance in Circles quilt... and saw me dealing with all those crazy tension issues... and decided maybe I really did need a new machine!)
It really looks great. :) ♥

Ooooh, the quilt looks gorgeous. GREAT colours. Yay for FMQ too! I certainly wouldn't say I'm an expert when it comes to FMQ, but it really does get easier (and better) each time you do it.

The FMQ looks great (and is the perfect quilting for hiding things!). I think general sewing/quilting experience helps a lot in figuring out FMQ, and the quilt turned out great. Love that Aviary 2.

Great job Lee. I'm officially inspired to try FMQ'ing my next quilt thanks to this post. :)

I have tried to quilt my own quilts and I just can't do it. How do you keep the back from getting all tweaked? I pin baste and even tried the adhesive spray basting stuff. I need help! Yours looks stunning!

The quilt looks fabulous! I have a similar phobia of FMQ but mine relates back to be a very baster! But now I think I have that under control, so I guess its time to try again too!!!

Gorgeous finish and a big huge HOORAY! about the FMQ. Good for you for trying it again.
- May 9, 2011 at 11:25 PM
- Debbie said...
Your quilt is sooo beautiful! And congrats on the FMQ! I'm a beginner too - ok with the straight-line, but still a scaredy cat with the stippling. You've inspired me to keep trying!!

Such a pretty quilt! I guess I should overcome my fear of FMQ as well and just give it another go...
Hooray for you!

YIPPEE!!! Don't you feel liberated?!?!? I am in the same boat as you and can't wait to FMQ my heart out now. What were we afraid of?

It looks great! And good job trying out FMQ again. It's funny how we talk ourselves out of being able to do things based on one little bad try.

Woo hoo! Doofus no more :) This is a lovely quilt. I love the purple/green combo, and it shows off the Aviary fabrics very well. Love it!

Nice job! The colors are so fresh, it will make a great baby's quilt. I've been a little afraid to try FMQ. Your success makes me want to try it on my next quilt. :-)

It looks great. I try to FMQ from time to time, only on practice pieces and I am lousy at it. But I do have a frame and I am not that good at that either. Like you say practice, practice etc.

Good for you! FMQ is so intimidating, I'm so glad you tried it again! Your quilt looks amazing!

Hooray for FMQing - awesome that you tried it again!
And it's so forgiving - looks wonderful when washed and crinkled!

Oh, my! It so beautiful!
(and I have no problem with you jumping ahead! I think if you want to, go for it... I'm glad you thought about it yourself and did it. that's refreshing!) :)
I love the fabrics you chose and your FMQ is great. I'm glad you gave it another try and it worked out well on this quilt. I think smaller quilts are so much easier to FMQQ than the larger ones.
Congrats on a beautiful quilt!

YEA!! Love FMQ-ing! The more you do, the better it gets, and just think of how much money you save vs taking it to a long arm quilter :-). Plus I think it's super-satisfying to complete a quilt knowing you stitched every stitch!

You give me courage to try FMQ! What a great quilt. I hope I'll eventually be able to write a similar post, talking in positive terms about FMQ. I'll let you now!

CONGRATS on your FMQ triumph!!!! : ) It's hard when you totally botch something the first time to want to go back and try again. Especially when there are SO many fun projects screaming for attention : D !!!!
I love that quilt!!!!

- Alisa said...
It look fantastic! And way to go on trying FMQ again. Once you get the hang of it you'll notice it goes WAY faster to quilt a quilt that way versus straight line quilting. For me anyway.

I saw the pictures of this quilt on your Q&A at Ellison Lane Quilts today and got SO excited. You see I picked up the Aviary 2 a couple months ago knowing it would make a beautiful project for a close friend. Since then I have been trying to find a quilt that would do the large scale prints justice, and this is perfect! Also, the pattern reminds me a bit of the red lacquer door and window designs I saw when I was in China visiting this same friend. I think she will love it - thanks!

Downton Abbey is an entertaining and riveting PBS TV series; my wife and I are hooked on it. But as a financial planner, I've also found that the show's storylines offer eight powerful lessons for managing your money.
Two of them come from this season's first episode, when we learned that Lord Grantham had invested most of his wife's fortune in the stock of a Canadian Railroad company, then lost that money when the company went bankrupt.
Lord Grantham was in shock because everyone knew the company was going to be a success. The two lessons:
- Don't put all your investment eggs in one basket.
- Just because everyone thinks an investment can't miss doesn't mean you should stop thinking for yourself.
Here are six other lessons from Downton Abbey that can help you secure your financial future and protect your family:
Prepare for the unexpected. I always tell my clients that the first rule of personal finance is to protect yourself — and the Downton Abbey characters offer ample evidence of this edict's value.
This year, Mrs. Hughes was worried that she might have breast cancer; fortunately, things turned out OK. Last year, Mrs. Patmore had eye surgery, which also worked out. But neither had medical or disability insurance. Instead, they relied on the generosity of the Granthams to cover their health care costs and loss of wages.
The health challenges of Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patmore offer good reminders to have adequate insurance and emergency savings so you'll protect yourself and your family from unforeseen circumstances.

Yesterday I stopped by the library to pick up the books I'd ordered online and which sat waiting for me on the reserve shelf. One of the things that I love about the Evergreen library is that they actually trust you to walk up to the shelf and take your own books. At my former library in Fort Lauderdale, you had to go to the check-out desk, present your library card, recite the last four digits of your phone number, and only then would the librarian turn around and pull the books you'd ordered from the shelf behind the counter.
There are a few other things I love about my 'new' library: they have a coffee machine that provides your choice of a variety of free (!) caffeinated beverages. In my old library you weren't allowed to bring liquids of any kind into the library, as if they expected patrons to spill said liquids onto the books as they were suddenly and inexplicably caught up in wild spastic fits as they careened among the aisles.
The third thing that I love about my new library is that they have a wall of books near the check out desk where they display 'staff picks'. From what I've learned, patrons actually check out the recommendations with such frequency that the staff have to come up with new recommendations every day. It was here that I found an unexpected treasure: An Unfinished Life by Mark Spragg. (This book was recently made into a film starring Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman, and Jennifer Lopez).
I was first drawn to the book because of its cover art, a photo of a pair of antlers intertwined against a dusty blue background. Then I opened the book and read the jacket flap and was piqued by the mention of Wyoming (since I am in a moving frame of mind). I took the book to the 'Quiet Room,' a beautiful circular reading room at the back of the library with comfy chairs, a gas fireplace, and a wall of windows that look out at the side of hill filled with blue spruce and rock formations. The sort of room where time stands still. A place you could stay for hours with a good book and not have noticed the passage of time until you looked out the window and noticed the changing light.
I took one of the wing back chairs near the fireplace and opened Mark Spragg's book and decided to read the first few pages, to give it an audition before I decided whether to add it to the pile of books I was checking out. I knew that I already had two new books to read for next month's book club meeting and a couple others sitting on my nightstand. In fact, I'd just returned four books that day un-read because I'd simply had to prioritize my time. I wasn't looking for yet another book to begin and discard.
And then that magical thing happened that only occurs once in a great while, but makes you happy to be a reader. I got drawn in. Like slipping into a warm bath, reading the first few pages of a book that has that something special is one of the great pleasures of life. It is the flow of words that are beautifully crafted and yet seem effortless, without pretension or artifice. It is the start of a story that you feel you already know, characters that are somehow familiar, and yet because you don't know you can't wait to read on and watch their world unfold.
This joyful suspension was a feeling I experienced first as a child when I read Beverly Cleary's delightful Henry Huggins or Ramona books, or Frank L. Baum's Wizard of Ozseries, and of course Madeline L'Engle's classic, A Wrinkle in Time, and compelled me to read with unabated appetite. As an adult, finding books that so completely capture my imagination are less frequent, even among some books that I enjoyed for their story. So when I have the pleasure of opening the pages of a book, especially one that I found unexpectedly, and re-discovering the joy of reading, well there's not much better than that.
Needless to say, I took the book home with me and have continued reading, savoring a chapter at a time. It sits on top of a pile of books in my office and when I need a break from my computer, I go to the reclining chair pick up the book and read some more.
Now it's your turn: What unexpected book(s) have you become lost in?

I've always exercised and kept my body in shape. For the most part, I've always eaten well. I have no family history of cancer or of any major medical issues, as far as I know.
And yet, I'm a three-year breast cancer survivor.
Surviving breast cancer is a difficult, life-changing event for anyone. I underwent a partial mastectomy, a lymph node dissection, 15 rounds of chemotherapy and 33 rounds of radiation. As a result, I now have clinically disabling lymphedema of my right arm and hand, which has impacted my career as a physician because I can no longer perform hands-on treatment of my patients.
But the most difficult part of surviving breast cancer was losing my mom while I was undergoing chemotherapy. My best friend, my voice of reason and the person who could always help me find the answers to any problem, was no longer here. My mom was gone and I was alone.
Just one year ago, I was searching for the higher purpose in my life. My lymphedema had begun to affect my ability to safely care for my patients and my boss at the time called me into his office and said, "A physician who is not clinically capable is of no value to me." My heart sank. I've wanted to be a physician since I was two years old. I studied hard for years and worked my way through school to achieve this goal. I spent my entire life preparing, becoming and practicing as a physician, and my life's dream seemed to be coming to an end at age 42 —all because of breast cancer.
After months of physical therapy and struggling with depression, I found myself getting angry. Angry at being told that through my short lifetime of struggles that I had no value.
But I'm alive and cancer-free for a reason.
So I decided to make a difference, not just in my life, but in the lives of others. By helping them through their struggle and showing them their own value, I would find mine again.
For years, I was seen as the invincible physician. Now as a "patient-physician" I'm a stronger advocate for better health awareness and the need for a cure. My diagnosis and treatment took away one of my greatest fulfillments in life which was the hands-on care of my patients. But after evaluating what I still have rather than what I lost, I have a brand new focus and mission in life. I have decided that I will spend the remainder of my lifetime helping people with this disease and their loved ones gracefully walk the bridge from pre-breast cancer life to life as a survivor.
I'm alive and cancer-free for a reason. And I'm meant to be part of the solution.
I participated in the Susan G. Komen Chicago 3-Day for the Cure in 2010. At the end of the event, I knew I'd found my calling. I was meant to help change lives on a national scale. I could share my story, share my voice, share my life, and share my victory with thousands of others that needed help. So I applied and was chosen to be the National Spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.
I am now honored to represent the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure as the 2011 national spokesperson. This role affords me the opportunity to raise awareness and educate thousands of women and men throughout the country about breast health and how they can join the fight to end breast cancer.
From being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 to being named the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure national spokesperson in 2011…now that's reinvention!
Don't realize at the end of your life that you've spent an entire lifetime merely existing. Instead, LIVE the life you've been blessed with and "Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance." ~ Lee Ann Womack

Reviews for Leprechaun Lime Drink
"This was sweet and tangy, but a great St. Patty's Day treat. I might even be inclined to make this on a hot, sunny day for the kiddos. This is a super easy treat!!"
"SO yummy! I made this for my St. Patrick's day meal yesterday, everyone loved it! I only added 1 tablespoon of sugar. To crush my ice, I placed about 16 or so ice cubes in a plastic bag and pounded it on a cutting board with a meat mallet. Be sure to add to the drink just before serving. Be sure to have water and extra cups on hand because the drink is sweet, water is nice to have too. Overall, very pretty and perfect for st. patrick's day!"
"Juuust so you know, leprechauns aren't elves."
"Luck of the Irish!"
"I served this recipe at last year's Saint Patrick's Day party. It was a big hit! It is also easy to prepare."

The son of Forrest Gump is embarking on a rap career. That's right, Tom Hanks' kid is entering the gritty, hardcore world of rap.
The London Sun posted a video with an inside look at the rapping skills of Hanks' son, Chester "Chet" Haze, while donning a Ron Artest Los Angels Lakers jersey (thanks for the tip Ben Maller). Ron Artest, of course, has dabbled in rap himself .
(On a completely unrelated side note, anyone else wondering if Ron Artest will be in a Lakers jersey for long if this rumored Carmelo Anthony trade to Los Angeles has any merit?)
Back to the rapping Chester…It's OK to giggle. The thought of Tom Hanks kid escaping the Hollywood Hills for the gritty world of rap is slightly comical.
But I have to be honest here. If you watch the video of "Chet Haze," he's actually not that bad. Granted, lyrics like "I get my balls served more than Serena playing tennis" may leave more to be desired.
I guess if Mike Tyson is writing poetry, then it shouldn't be strange that Tom Hanks' kid is rapping. Everybody's got to have a dream.
Rap Forrest Chet! Rap!

Women's Basketball Prevails Past Brown, 68-37
Despite time and day changes due to snow blizzard Nemo, the Princeton women's basketball responded with a 68-37 victory over Brown Saturday in Providence, R.I. The win improves the Tigers to 13-5, 4-0 Ivy and extends their Ivy winning streak to 28.
Brown remained within range for much of the first half, capitalizing on a slow start and six Tiger turnovers over the first eight minutes.
Up only by one, 15-14, Michelle Miller answered scoring five straight points to lift Princeton to a 20-14 advantage at 9:23.
Brown countered with a basket to make it a four-point game, but it would be the closest the Bears would get for the remainder of the contest.
A Megan Bowen jumper and a pair of Blake Dietrick triples put the Tigers up by 12, 28-16 at 4:46, and Princeton preserved its double figure lead to go into halftime holding a 35-21 differential.
Six consecutive Bowen points lifted the Tigers to a 22-point lead, 45-23 at 16:50, and from there it was all Princeton for the rest of the game. The senior center finished with a team-high 12 points, going 6-for-12 from the field.
Classmate Niveen Rasheed scored in double figures for the 16th consecutive game with 10 points. She also nearly had her seventh double-double with nine rebounds, while adding a team-high six steals.
The Tigers shot 46 percent (29-for-63) from the field, while limiting the Bears to 25 percent (14-for-56). They also held a 46-37 rebounding and an 18-8 assist differential, with Lauren Polansky recording a team-high seven dishes.
Princeton heads next to New Haven, Conn. to square off with Yale (7-12, 2-3 Ivy) on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 6 p.m.
