Editor's Themekits are matched collections of themed animated graphics that make it is easy to create a professional, coordinated look designed around specific symbols or themes such as worship, entertainment, sports and education. Each Themekit contains a set of matching elements such as backgrounds, overlays, lower thirds and animated wipes in both SD and HD resolutions. This allows producers and designers to instantly create a thematic look for a program, while still providing enough variety and customization for a unique, signature style that viewers will identify with, recognize and remember.

Each Super Set contains a unique combination of some of the elements described below. Which elements are included depends on the design and purpose of each particular set.
- Animated BackgroundsThese are full screen background animations that are great for title sequences, text templates and DVD menus.
- Animated Template Background: This is a special type of animated background which is designed with a specific area for text, usually in the center portion of the graphic. This area has been made more subtle with less motion and more subdued color so that text will stand out well on it.
- Animated Base Background: This is a specific style of animated background designed to be simpler and more subtle -- an animated base for other content in your composition. A typical base background has less motion, fewer elements and more subtle colors than a higher impact animated background designed to stand on its own.
- Animated Tunnel Background: This is a specific style of animated background with a motion which moves the viewer forward in one direction through the seamlessly looping scene. Tunnel backgrounds can be 3D realistic scenes or abstract journeys into the unknown.
- Animated Cause for Pause Background: This is a specific style of animated background with multiple sections and a motion which shifts the viewer forward quickly from section to section of the seamlessly looping scene. The camera pauses in several designated spots to allow the user to overlay text and video information for the viewer to read and watch.
- Animated Overlays Animated overlays are full screen animations with alpha channel transparency that serve as animated frames and accents for your video clips.
- Animated Lower Third: Animated lower thirds are animated elements using alpha channel transparency that commonly serve as anchoring elements for text, nameplates and logos at the bottom of the screen. The text that appears on a lower third typically identifies something about the corresponding video, such as the name of the onscreen talking head or information about the video
- Animated Mini Third/Corner Third: These elements are a specific smaller version of the lower third animation designed to be used under logo bugs or text in the lower corners of the screen.
- Swipes
These are animated wipes with matching sound effects that help make the switch from one scene to another more interesting. Designed to work without a plug-in on any editing system that supports overlays, these easy-to-use wipes are as unique as they are useful.
1. Full Screen Swipes: In this type of Swipes file, there are several frames in the middle of the transition that are full screen which should be directly over your edit on the time-line so that when the animation plays, the cut is completely hidden.
2. Double Alpha Swipes: A Double Alpha Swipe is a full color transition that does not cover the screen fully at any point in the animation, but instead uses an additional animation known as a Traveling Matte to transition the video. With a Double Alpha Swipe, at some point Clip A, Clip B, and the Swipe Animation are all seen on the screen at the same time.
- Sound FX: These are included for use with the Swipes, but you may find additional uses. You could, for example, use one of these Sound FX files with a Motion Design Element to add emphasis to a text reveal.
- Transitional Wipes: These wipes are animated grayscale mattes -- matching the style of the set — which allow you to build your own textured transitions using your software's matte key effects.
- MDE (Motion Design Element): Motion Design Elements are animated graphic elements with alpha channels. MDEs come in a variety of styles such as seamlessly looping frames, revealers that animate in and out, or looping graphic elements that can be placed anywhere on the screen to highlight text or logos. They are generally used to draw the viewer's attention to a specific part of the screen. These elements are large enough to be positioned and scaled anywhere on the canvas.
- Text MDE: This is a specific type of MDE which contains animated words or phrases that match the subject matter of the set. For example a Christmas-themed set might contain a text MDE which animates the words Merry Christmas across the screen.
- Revealer: A revealer is a motion design element that comes on-screen, covers a predefined area and then animates off-screen to reveal something underneath like a logo or text. It is not a seamlessly loopable animation like most MDEs.
- Logo Revealers: are specifically designed to be placed over logos to reveal them as the animation plays.
- Overlay Revealers: are a special form of revealer MDE that animates an overlay graphic on and off screen, making a more seamless transition between overlay and background graphics. They are accompanied by a matching Overlay Revealer Matte which is used to make the transition on and off screen easier.
- Line Items: Line Items are a specific style of MDE containing a series of animated lines or other small elements in a linear format as the dominating element of the graphic. They can be used alone to highlight a line of text or in combination to frame an image with active elements.
- Frames:Animated Frames are a specific type of MDE designed to frame a freestanding image, which is then usually placed on top of a second background image. They are accompanied by a static Frame Matte which masks everything outside the center area of the frame, allowing you to place Frame, Frame Matte and image on top of a background cleanly and easily.
- Animated Mattes: These greyscale mattes allow you to further customize the look of each set. Using your editor and the matte key or track matte effect, you can create overlays, lower thirds and wipes from your own image sources. Mattes do not need an alpha channel, as they are only gray-scale video.
- Overlay Matte: This is a type of animated matte which is based on the shape and motion of the matching Overlay animation. It allows you to create new overlay elements using the same basic shape and animated edges as the existing overlay but with your own custom graphics filling the overlay.
- Lower Third Matte: This is a type of animated matte which is based on the shape and motion of the matching Lower Third animation. It allows you to create new lower third elements using the same basic shape and animated edges as the existing lower third, but using your own custom graphics to fill the shape.
- Mini Third/Corner Third Matte: This is a type of animated matte which is based on the shape and motion of the matching mini third/corner third animation. It allows you to create new mini third/corner third elements using the same basic shape and animated edges as the existing mini third/corner third, but using your own custom graphics to fill the shape.
- Coordinated Juice Drops:Juice Drops are print resolution, fully customizable graphics delivered as layered Photoshop files. They can be used to create coordinating printed collateral for your project such as DVD faces and cases, advertising fliers, posters and/or billboards.

Your body would be exactly what I would be after. However. I can't pre-order a two piece "MM" body because I haven't got a job currently, and the hunt for one isn't going well. I can say 'best of luck' and that I hope you're still around when I have money.
$50 sent for 2 piece, ule front, gloss black, sanded tube.

stupid question, but the one piece bodies come with you spring cups right? instead of c-clip and ring, or am I wrong?
Any chance I could special order a little extra material taken off my ule front? Like the RPG exile or pariah bodies?

A big issue for many East Texas voters are proposals that could allow alcohol sales in Tyler and Smith County Precinct 2, which includes Flint, Bullard, and Noonday.
Tyler's Planning and Zoning Commission met Tuesday to discuss what changes will be made to the city code if voters approve the alcohol proposals on the Tyler ballot.
"The citizens are very proud of the natural beauty of Tyler," said Tyler City Planner Heather Nick. "We want to make sure that we mitigate any effect from the passing of this proposition."
Nick presented three amendments to the city code at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
The first Unified Development Code amendment requested the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider recommending an ordinance to regulate beer and wine sales by:
The second UDC amendment requested an ordinance to adopt zoning regulations to regulate drive-through service areas that allow for passage of motor vehicles and are used primarily for the retail sale or delivery of pre-packaged foods or beverages for off-premises consumption, if located in a M-2 zoning district and through issuance of a Special Use Permit. That ordinance will not affect current restaurant drive-through lanes.
The third amendment recommendation was an emergency item added to Tuesday's meeting. That amendment simply clarifies the city zone change application fee covers the review of zoning to clarify state distance requirements for alcohol sales.
All three amendments were approved.
"Once the election is certified, and it's legal, applicants are going to have to get our application, they are going to have to go to the city, and there are portions the city has to sign, the county, and then finally the county judge has to sign off on it," said Sgt. Marcus Stokke, of the enforcement division of the Longview office for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
Once businesses complete their application, the TABC checks to see if everything is legal and the business qualifies for a permit to sell alcohol. That process can take up to 40 days.
"We have it to where our processors will be all around the state of Texas," Stokke said. "If Tyler goes wet, and the applications come in, there may very well be a processor in San Antonio who is working on one of the applications."
Stokke says even though people in the "dry" area can't apply for a permit yet, that does not mean they don't have the paperwork all filled out and ready to go.
The Tyler City Council will vote on today's recommendations sometime between next Wednesday, Nov. 14 and the following Monday, Nov. 19.

Black Dogs Face a Hard Choice at Shelter
Don't judge a dog by his color

This is outrageous! I had no idea! I wonder if this is somehow related to discrimination against black people?? Black dogs are so beautiful!
Submitted by Marita | October 17 2009 | Permalink
Yes, that is remarkable but true. I adopted an older black dog 3 years ago. He had waited more then 5 years in a shelter and then 2 in a foster home. Nobody contacted them, stayed at his cage or asked about him. Nobody threw even a short glance where he sat. How did I discover him? Well I often scan webpages where dogs wait for homes and I saw him year after year. When I lost one of my dogs then I thougt about looking him up. He was still there! Now he lives with me as a male diva, strong-minded elderly gentleman and I adore him. In spite of his black disliked coat, he is the best dog I´ve had!
Submitted by Sam | October 17 2009 | Permalink
I agree! It is outrageous. I own three BIG black dogs and love every one of them. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one!

I am certain she will help too. Thanks for given this dog shelter and care. We have two dogs and a cat (down from 3 & 2) and are still full at our inn.
Best of luck
Submitted by Chris C. | March 26 2014 | Permalink
Linking this to discrimination among people would be a huge stretch. My experience has been that the first obstacle is the 'big' part, as most people who go into a shelter may not know exactly what they're looking for, but do know what size they won't go over. The second problem is that alot of people feel like they can't 'read' a black dog's face and don't know enough about dog body language to really know how gauge a dog's attitude. My BBD rescue is a hit everywhere he goes!
Submitted by Mona | November 11 2009 | Permalink
It has been my experience that non-dog people assume my black dog to be aggressive, when actually he's a sweet, lovable boy. I have two male German shepherds that I adopted as puppies. One is black and tan with a dark muzzle and tan face. The other is black and silver with a black face and mostly black body – the one assumed to be "mean." No one seems to be afraid of my tan-faced GSD, and he's the one that barks at strangers. Perhaps people assume a BBD is an aggressive dog or not a good family dog.
sometimes i think they are very hard to see in a dark shelter kennel. we take them all the time into our rescue and they flyoutta here! photos out in the light, good descriptions and all that help a ton to get these guys out. we LOVE our BBDs!!
Submitted by Jess | November 24 2009 | Permalink
Wow. I had not realized there was such doggie discrimination. My mom and I adopted a "BBD" as our first dog from an animal shelter in Washington State. I had previously been wary of some dogs - a childhood fear - but when I met my puppy Sam, an all black lab/Australian Shepherd mix, I fell in love instantly. He is the most loving, calm dog I have ever met and I think it is so funny when people see him and based on his BBD appearance ask if he is friendly. Sam wouldn't hurt a fly!

How fascinating! I have always PREFERRED black animals -- my barn is full of black cats, all of my dobermans, the two I raised from a pups, and my two rescues, have been black, I'm drawn to black horses . . . They are just such striking animals. Maybe I'm perverse . . . There are two black cats living in my house as well.

Since reading this article a while back I adopted a black dog who'd been at a rescue group for a while and I've passed the word on about adopting black dogs. If your going to adopt, why not pick a black dog?! I volunteer at a shelter and know firsthand that all the white fluffy dogs are adopted 10x quicker... I don't get it really- I too prefer black dogs since I wear black so much!

I have a beautiful Black Lab named Sam who is as gentle as they come. I also have a Yellow Lab named Blue. I walk them together and whenever we run into people they always migrate to Blue the Yellow Lab and may take the time after greeting him to also show attention to Sam. I don't get it either. A beautiful loving dog is a beautiful loving dog regardless of colour.
I love my Sam :)

We've had alot of great dogs but three of the most outstanding in temperament,intelligence and personality were a black Lab/Newf mix ,a 175 lb.black female Irish Wolfhound/Mastiff mix,and currently,a black Lab mix named Asphalt that we adopted after he'd been living on the street with no I.D. & we had no luck finding his owner.He's the smartest,most perceptive,friendly yet protective guy & we feel so blessed & lucky that he found us.People who reject BBDs have no idea what they're missing !

I didn't want to get a black dog because it seemed they were everywhere in my neighborhood. I wanted a dog I could discern at the park. My next door neighbor had two...I just wanted something different. But of course, after spending a couple of days at the local shelter, it was the easy, sweet temperament of a black lab that won me over. He's the best dog; I'm so glad I went beyond looking at coat colors and body size but instead chose to go with temperament and emotional connection. I think it's just best to not make a snap decision about any animal adoption. Really work with the dogs and find a connection prior to bringing one home. Now that I have had my lab, I"m not sure I would be able to choose any other breed again. They're wonderful!

I also have a black lab mix who will be 15 in 2 weeks. She is my first baby and the absolute love of my life. I got her at a shelter when she was 15 weeks old. I have to say she is the sweetest dog I have ever owned and I love her almost as much as my children. I have a black cockapoo too and I never considered not getting either of them because of their coloring. The lab's hairballs are a pain but any big, hairy dog has those. Thanks to all the people who fight to get these sweet dogs' homes and take them in so they aren't put down.

I'm amazed I never had any idea that black dogs had such a hard time. We have 6 dogs and 3 cats. They have all been thrown away close to our home and made their way to us. Some in really bad condition. We have found home for many more thrown away. I've never throught about their colors just that they needed food and love & care. Our 4 paw children seem to be so happy to have a home they are the joy of our lives.

I had no idea that there was such a thing as Black Dog Syndrome. Growing up we had an amazing flat coated retriever named King. Everyone would comment on how dark and shiny his coat was, almost looking blue black in the sun. It was so black that some nights I'd stumble over him while he slept, because I would not see him. He was the most wonderful, intelligent, loving and protective dog ever. He once alerted us to a fire that had just started a couple of blocks away. For about 20 minutes he barked and coaxed us towards the door. It wasn't until we heard the fire trucks that we realized why he was so agitated. Through the years my mom nor would never come to understand how that dog knew enough to sit by the door at 2:45 each day to wait for me to get home from school at 3:15. I have not had a pet since, my children are grown, my husband travels, and I have been yearning for a dog. I am certain when the time comes, that I will be coming home with a companion with a beautiful lustrous black coat.
This shocks me --- I always thought that dogs with different patterned fur (piebald, brindle, etc.) or odd colors would have a harder time (lemon, blue)... Black dogs are a staple --- Almost every breed has a "black" fur variation!

I am shocked!! I never knew that there was an issue with black dogs. I knew that there was oddly with black cats, but never heard of ones with black dogs. Like so many here I prefer black fur babies. My first cat was a massive black cat. I couldn't ever get over the shine on his ink black coat it amazed me, and how much it made his bright yellow eyes dance. Now, I have two black dogs. My husband has a black lab mix that he adopted and I have a doberman who is black. I just love the way the light dances on their coats. My dobie so so muscled that he just shines, everyone comments on him. It is just sad that poor little babies are passed up for their coat color!!! Long live black fur babies!!!!

Wow! What is wrong with people? Who cares what color a dog is, unless of course you live where I do in Arizona in which case you have to worry that your black dog gets a lot hotter a lot quicker than a lighter colored dog. So, you just pay close attention to the comfort level of your black dog when the temps start rise. It isn't about color, it's about the temperament and heart of a dog and wether it matches your lifestyle. I love all my dogs (I won't say how many I have) for their different and joyful personalities and I really don't care if they are three legged or drool producing or drama queen emotionally driven (I have one of those) or even, yes, black colored, dogs.

Our shelter not only has a hard time with dogs, but just think of the cats! We initiated a "Black Velvet Club" . Anyone that adopts a black dog gets free obedience classes and for the black cats, extra veterinary services. There are some free gifts and a months supply of food as well, all thanks to our corporate sponsors. I know my next cat and dog will be black!

I just finished reading your article on how difficult it is to find homes for shelter dogs, specifically Big Black Dogs - BBD's. I have a Black German Shepherd name Bleu. Bleu is a fabulous dog. Although he is still figuring out what to bark at and what not to and he has still not grown into his ears or feet,he is the sweetest dog and I cannot imagine life without him. I would adopt another black dog today if I had more space.
Thank you for getting the word out for BBD's and what a great adoption choice they can be for the right person/family.

The thought that black dogs "get hotter" than lighter colored ones is a myth. I'm a volunteer for a lab rescue and have 3 labs myself (1 black, 2 choc). Only the black likes to sunbath while the other two prefer to remain inside. We do have issues placing BBD's (everyone wants a Yellow Female), but talking through the myth about overheating helps. Most don't like cleaning up the hair and feel that black is more visible than yellow. Go figure... We too list her web page on ours to help spread the word.
In addition to teaching the BBDs tricks to help them get adopted try light/bright colored bandannas. The bandannas make them more approachable to people. We have orange, yellow, and blue 'Adopt Me!' bandannas in various sizes for all the dogs at the shelter. We mostly use them at events but try to keep them on the BBDs when we have potential adopters around. The bandannas are hand made by volunteers and cost lest than 50 cents a piece in the end.

Our big, black Lab, Tommy, is an angel - and a rescue. When we adopted our big boy 9 years ago, our daughter was only 2 1/2 years old. The thought never crossed my mind that she might be terrified of him because of his color. He is a lovee. I will always rescue a Lab - and I have a special place in my heart for Black dogs! By the way, Tommy is kind to all animals and people, most especially his two kitty sisters. :)

I guess we must be a strange family; we have THREE black dogs. Two of whom are 'rescue' dogs. We originally adopted a 4 month old Black Lab cross pup (who is now, short, fat, lumpy, grey chinned, and ten years old...), then got a purebred Black Lab pup from a breeder (for companionship for the older fella...unfortunately a few years too late as it turned out...he wasn't interested in playing with the pup at all...) and to resolve THAT problem, last February we adopted a 5 year old female (purebred) Black Lab. The house is crowded with dogs, and it can certainly be a challenge to one's sanity at times, but we wouldn't give one of them up for anything. Black dogs are the best. They must be...Led Zeppelin even made a song about them.

LOL...I've never heard of such! However, since I rescued a BBD myself, which, by the way, I am the fourth home of this rescue dog and her last as I have vowed to keep her no matter what. I will say, she is my third lab...had a yellow and a chocolate, and it never occurred to me to NOT adopt a black one! Her black coat looks better in her red Georgia Bulldog collar than any other lab I have owned..ha! Besides, a black dog can pull off all the funky/neon collar colors and look stylish while doing it. When I first started reading the article, I thought "oh no...dog article is now going to go into race discrimination or something...ugh!" sooo glad to see it didn't go that direction. I will always ♥ my black dog:)!

We have 3 black dogs, 2 are big and one is little, but black just the same. I also am involved in rescue and know the pearls of BBD. I foster black dogs as often as I can, because I know they get overlooked so much at shelters. The best way to get a black dog seen is to parade it around the "world" as much as possible. Black dogs are just as sweet, loving, and playful as any other color, and they give kisses too, and love to snuggle, can be cute have facial expressions, perk up thier ears......don't forget about the black furbabies. They need good homes too. Thank you so much for all you do for the blackies. I will always rescue and will always have a black dog or 2! :)

On the 24th of this month, I visited a local shelter so I could pick one single dog to save. I wanted to adopt a dog that wasn't likely to get chosen but would also be appropriate with my family (I have small dogs that require a dog that would get along with them okay). I wanted to save every dog there but I had to settle for just one. I chose a one year old male black lab. I named him Chance. He had been born at the shelter and had lived there his whole life. The shelter had so many black dogs, some of them being Chance's siblings. I chose him because he jumped so high and looked so excited to see someone by his cage.
Of course, he has a wonderful personality and does very well with my current pets. I am serving as a foster mother for this not-so-little guy, though I won't be surprised if he becomes a permanent addition to the family. This whole thing has really made me realize that I'd like to do this again in the future.
I stumbled upon this site because I was thinking back on this male Beagle who was old enough to be very gray in the face. I thought about maybe I should have saved him instead, wondering if maybe he was less likely to get adopted than Chance would have. This page has definitely reassured me and helped me realize I definitely made the right choice. However, if I am able to go ahead and adopt another to foster, I don't know that I could resist that poor older beagle...And maybe a BBD or two!

Anyone who has worked in rescue for more than five minutes understands the BBD syndrome. Black dogs are passed over for many reasons, many are subconscious reasons. Unless the dog is supposed to be black, people simply don't see them. One reason is that their facial expressions are harder to read. We all love to look into those big brown eyes but those eyes surrounded by black fur are less dramatic. Yes BBD's and SBD's are wonderful dogs and we have all had our share and can attest to their terrific attributes. One suggestion for rescue organizations is to have a "black dog only" adoption day once a month. And the black dogs need to be removed from the caged environment and taken to outreach locations. Hopefully the rescue group can partner with a local business and promote the adoption of black dogs. Bless those volunteers and adopters who go the extra mile for these black critters. There is a place in Heaven for them.

Ever since I was born 23 years ago I have had a big black dog in my life. Bingo was our first - a basset/lab mix. He was the sweetest dog, and he'd even run to tell my mom when my sister or I were up from our naps before she would even hear us crying.

I have had two BBDs in my life and would NEVER overlook one of these gorgeous dogs if I was looking for a pound/shelter dog.
Dad brought home a BBD from the local shelter for Christmas in 1996. Lovingly named Rex, I buried him last October after 13 years of happiness and fond memories.
I didnt know that dogs like Rex and other BBDs are being overlooked and left behind for other dogs in shelters until I found this article. Not fair to them at all.
No one should ever fear a BBD. Once again a bad rep for dogs who are amazing and willing to open themselves unconditionally to love.

I have always loved big black dogs and when getting a new puppy I usually migrate toward those cute black furballs! I have owned many black dogs over the years. Right now, between my two daughters and myself, we have 9 dogs: 4 black lab mixes, 1 yellow lab mix, 1 wheaton Scottie, 1 chocolate lab, 1 lab/rot brindle mix, and 1 minature dapple dachsund. The chocolate lab was found dumped on the side of a road, covered in mud. In the past we have been "adopted" by a German Shepherd who showed up on our doorstep one hot August day. We tried to find her owner but couldn't. We had her checked out by our vet and she had heartworms. He also thought she had been abused. We did the heartworm treatment and our Duchess lived out the rest of her life as a loved, pampered, inside dog. I have never understood why anyone wouldn't want a beautiful black dog! or for that matter why anyone wouldn't want a dog period! I can't imagine my life without my 4-legged children!! Oh and by the way, all of our dogs are inside dogs! Some people think we are crazy but we don't care!! (I will add that my daughters don't live with me so there aren't 9 dogs in one house!)

Seems hard to believe, but it's understandable that most people want more flashy dogs. I've never really been much of a lab person myself, as you said their lack of facial expressions and difficulty to read contributes, but if I ever got one i'd opt for one that wasn't white.
I usually go for dogs with black/white or black/brown on their face with vibrant eyes.. Especially Border Collies; though even if he were entirely black I would still love him for his breed rather than his coat color! =)
Most labs have dark eyes, mono-color coat and lack expression, they're almsot like big teddy bears! =P
Some people go for that and others don't.

Thank you for raising awareness of wonderful but ignored dogs! In Tampa, Florida, the Hillsborough County Animal Services (HCAS)shelter calls them "Brown Paper Dogs." This refers to mixed breeds of any color which tend to fade into the background as shoppers gravitate towards young puppies and purebreds. We like to say "Find Solid Gold in a Plain Brown Wrapper!" During October Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog, HCAS hosted a successful "Brown Paper Dog Day" to kick off a month long adoption special on BPD's weighing 30 pounds or more. The party featured a "brown paper charm school" dog trainer, one of our County veterinarians, music, a kids coloring table, and donated food from Bob Evans Restaurant. The volunteers were terrific, and the public is responding despite the economy (Florida has been hit particularly hard). A thought: it might be helpful if the media and others would consider alternative ways to refer to public shelters rather than "the pound." The old-fashioned moniker sounds unappetizing to potential adopters and does not flatter the many professionals dedicated to helping animals there. Thanks again to you and all who help make adopting shelter pets cool!

It has been 4 years since I was rushed into an emergency c-section to deliever my baby girl at 32 weeks due to HELLP Syndrome. When her first birthday rolled around I went into a deep depression thinking that I could never have another baby after always wanting 2 or 3. I then came to a point where I was okay with the idea of never having another child or so I thought I was. It's been 4 years since my terrifying experience and I'm to the point where I know for a fact that I'm not okay with not ever having the chance to have another child. I talked to my mother about it (I confide in her with everything) and she is very worried about my "baby fever". So today I'm feeling blue and robbed of the opportunity other women get to experience time and time again.
My story....
At 32 weeks my mother-in-law took me to the hospital because my feet had become so swollen that I couldn't wear flip flops. I checked my blood pressure and it had sky rocketed. Before this I had not had any trouble with my pregnancy. The doctors immediately admitted me to the hospital and started doing blood work. They decided to put me on magnesium sulfate so that I wouldn't start having seizure. At this point no one is telling me what's going on. Finally that evening the on call doctor came in and told me that my platelet count was low so they were going to keep me so they could monitor it. The next morning after one blood draw they came into my room and said they were mediflighting me to a larger hospital that had the capabilities to deal with the issue better than the one I was at. What issue? No one would tell me what was going on. After spending two days in the hospital (the one I was transferred to) a doctor comes in the room and tells me and my husband that the baby has to be delievered immediately because my platelet count is getting too low. He gives us the option to try a vaginal delievery but he doesn't reccommend it because my chances of bleeding to death are high. So off to the surgery room I go. Everything is happening way too fast and still I have no clue what is going on. During the c-section the doctor asks me if I want my tubes tied. Is this a joke?! No! I don't. This is my first baby. Why would I want my tubes tied. I felt like I was missing something. As soon as my precious baby was delieverd they rushed her to the NICU. I didn't even get to see her face. I felt like they just took one of the most precious moments of my life away from me. Every other mother gets to see her newborn baby. Why not me? The next three days were excruciating. After the delievery they kept me in a trama room so they could monitor me closely. In the middle of the night a nurse woke me up and explained to me that a doctor was on the way. I was hemorrhaging and my uterus wasn't contracting. They were unable to take me to surgery due to my platelet count so they had to do everything right there. I have never felt such an agonizing pain in my life. I wanted to die. After that my husband nor my mother left my side. The next day (two days after deliever) I stopped breathing. They resuscitated me and hooked me up to an oxygen machine that monitored my oxygen levels. I can remember my mother saying to me "Amy! Wake up...! Don't go to sleep please!" I was so tired. I just wanted to sleep. But I wasn't sleeping. I wasn't breathing. After three days of struggling to hang onto life the doctors said I was strong enough to be transferred into a regular maternity room. I was FINALLY able to see/hold my brand new baby girl. Having her was by far the scariest thing I have ever been through but I wouldn't trade it for the world because it brought her into my world. God was truly watching over the both of us. I was able to bring my baby home when she was 6 days old. What a miracle!!! It wasn't until I was being discharged that they explained my diagnosis to me and my family.
So, people tell me to feel lucky because I was lucky to have survived such an experience and maybe to most I sound ungrateful because recently I think it's unfair. I think it's unfair that doctors and my family are telling me "No" and that I should reconsider the idea of having another child. I didn't get to experience the baby shower. I didn't get to experience being the first person to hold my baby. I didn't get to experience that first glimpse and welcome her into this world. I feel robbed. I feel blue and I just want to cry.

Dozens of people were busted for their roles in at least two international sportsbooks that catered to wealthy customers in the United States, Russia and the Ukraine. Several alleged members of the illegal sports gambling ring remain on the loose, according to the FBI.
One of the organizations laundered tens of millions of dollars into the U.S. and the other was financed by a prestigious art gallery in New York City, said the FBI.
Hillel Nahmad, 34, the owner of the Helly Nahmad Gallery at the Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, was among those arrested.
"As alleged, these criminal enterprises were vast and many-tentacled, with one of them reaching across the Atlantic to launder tens of millions of dollars from Russia to the U.S. via Cyprus and, in some cases, back again. International money laundering is a serious offense, and we will do everything within our power to inhibit those who seek to sanitize the proceeds of crime through legitimate investment vehicles in this country from doing so," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara
Thirty-four people were busted on Tuesday. At least three alleged members of the rings remain at large.
The FBI is asking for the public's assistance locating Abraham Mosseri, Donald McCalmont, and William Edler.
Mosseri, 40, is wanted for his role in operating an illegal sports bookmaking operation.
McCalmont, 45, is wanted for laundering money through Titan Plumbing, a Bronx company taken over to repay a gambling debt.
Edler, 49, is wanted for his role in operating an illegal sports bookmaking operation.
"The subjects in this case ran high-stakes illegal poker games and online gambling, proceeds from which are alleged to have been funneled to organized crime overseas. The one thing they didn't bet on was the New York City police and federal investigators' attention," said NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly.
Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 212-384-1000. Tipsters may remain anonymous.

A group of state representatives who have served in the U.S. military announced Thursday the formation of a new, bipartisan, legislative caucus that will focus on issues affecting Arizona veterans.
"We took an oath to defend our constitution and our main obligation was to ourselves, to our brothers in arms and we feel that we should continue that tradition today as we did back then," says state Rep. Sony Borrelli, Lake Havasu City Republican.
The lawmakers will work with veterans groups and other organizations to help vets with employment, education, mental health and other services.
"It is difficult, and plus, mental health issues typically don't surface until roughly two years after you return. And I was actually seen for mental health issues by the VA, and it's hard to admit and that's one of the stigmas out there. That we understand that it happens and we want to help other veterans overcome it," says state Rep. Mark Cardenas, Phoenix Democrat.
The goal is to help vets overcome obstacles as they transition back into civilian life from military life.
"if we don't help them get their lives together, get them stabilized we will end up paying for it one way or the other on a societal level. I think you know it's horrible when we do abandon veterans because they do everything, but on a fiscal level they end up becoming extremely expensive because they become homeless and on drugs because they self-medicate themselves to deal with the problems that occur, that they're having with PTSD for example," says state Rep. Ruben Gallego, Phoenix Democrat.
"We want to help bridge the gap for the veterans that are returning that are seeking employment, starting small businesses there's a lot of challenges and us as veterans have a lot of work cut out for us," says Melissa Lange, Southwest Veterans Chamber of Commerce.
Nationwide, the unemployment rate for men and women who served in the Middle East was at nearly 11-percent last month.
"We have a lot of returning veterans that are coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. we need to support those young men and women because they have given a lot of their life to make sure that we stay free and that we stay safe in our environment here," says Terry Araman, Madison Street Veterans Association.

Using technology originally developed for NASA astronauts, these lightweight gloves actually store heat in their microcapsule-insulated lining and release it back to you when you need it most. With a soft Italian-finished nappa leather exterior and a Thinsulate palm, our heat-storing gloves detect the temperature of your skin to ensure that no matter the weather, your hands won't be too cold or too warm. Although they provide a snug fit at first, the leather will gently conform to the shape of your hands with wear. If in-between sizes, order the next size up. Imported. Women's. With palm vent and bound hem. Presented in our signature gift box.
To ensure a proper fit in our gloves, we encourage you to measure your hand to determine your glove size.
Lifetime Guarantee

Not impressed
By Disappointed and still hoping
from Lancaster, Pa
I was very disappointed with this product. I was hoping that I finally found the THE GLOVE. And by reading the description about the glove- I thought I had. My hands were so cold after an evening of 3 hours in 36 degrees, I couldn't open my car door... sad! :(
Service and delivery comments:
service and delivery was fine. Packaged fine.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Chilly wrist
By Sundance
from Wisconsin
Slit at wrist lets in cold air. A button or snap, or making glove 1/2-1 inch longer at wrist would improve design immensely.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your suggestion. We appreciate feedback from our customers that allows us to improve our products, descriptions and service.

Good but small
By Karibuh
from New Brighton, MN
These gloves are warmer than other gloves I've had but not for being a long time in the cold or for regular use in a very cold place. I'd say they are good for commuting until it gets something like -5F or so. The gloves are short and tight when you first use them. The tightness becomes snugy after the first use. I have large hands and the fingers are too short for me, at least 1/4 inch, which gives poor grip.
Very soft, high quality gloves
By Bizzy Girl
from Nova Scotia
I have VERY large hands (8 1/2) and bought a size large. They do stretch slightly, but an XL, if it had been available would have been better.They are warm, but not as warm as I expected based on the name. For extremely cold weather, I still would go with my mittens, purchased in Iceland!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Could be better
By Keeprunning
from Richmond Hill, Ontario
As others indicated, those are nice gloves, but not as warm as one expects. It's ok for driving or short trips outside, but not for staying long in cold weather (15 min at -5C and you'll be freezing in those gloves) Yet, nice looking, comfortable and overall good quality. Just not the best.
Great Gloves
By Cold Hands Person
from North Carolina
I've been looking for gloves like these for a long time. None of the others have kept my hands as warm.

Fabulous & Warm!
By Diana Spencer
from Woodstock, New York
I suffer from Raynaud's Syndrome & am endlessly trying to keep my hands warm when I go out. I agree with other reviews that these gloves don't really "build" heat but they work really well for me for basic use. Agree they won't keep hands really warm for extended periods outdoors. They work great though for driving, running around doing errands and being outdoors for short periods of time. They look beautiful, fit great & wear well.
By ken
from mansfield oh
very pleased
By john
from phoenix
nice quality product
Keeps you warm
By Blue
from Ontario, Canada
This is a replacement for another pair of the same gloves. Old one were more stylish. These have elastic at the end and are not slim fitting. The design has been changed.
