Combined oral contraceptive pills

All contain the estrogen ethinyl estradiol, although in varying amounts, and one of a number of different progesterones. They are taken for 21 days with then a 7 day gap during which a withdrawal bleed (often, but incorrectly, referred to as a menstrual period) occurs. These differ in the amount of estrogen given, and whether they are monophasic (only one dose of estrogen and progesterone during the 21 days) or multiphasic (varying doses).

Monophasic

These are given as 21 tablets of estrogen and progesterone, followed by 7 tablets of placebo. Different formulations contain different amounts of estrogen and progesterone:

  • 20 mcg estrogen
    • 0.1 mg levonorgestrel (Alesse®, Levline®)
    • 1 mg norethindrone acetate (Loestrin 1/20®Fe)

    • 1.5 mg norethindrone acetate (Loestrin® 1.5/30)
    • 3.0 mg drospirenone (Yasmin®)
  • 35 mcg estrogen
    • 0.25 mg norgestimate (Ortho-Cyclen®)
    • 0.4 mg norethindrone (Ovcon-35®, Warner Chilcott)

    • 1 mg norethindrone (Necon 1/50®, Norinyl 1/50®, Ortho-Novum 1/50®, Ovcon-50®)
    • 0.5 mg norgestrel (Ovral®)
    • 1 mg ethynodiol diacetate (Demulen 1/50®, Zovia 1/50E®)

Top artists land in North Idaho
From Spokesman Review, The (Spokane), 12/12/02 by Julianne Crane

Artwork is plentiful in North Idaho this holiday season, with new exhibitions under way from Sandpoint to St. Maries.

On Saturday, the Lyman/Timber Stand Gallery is having two art events, one in the gallery and one on the road.

In the Sandpoint gallery, 334 N. First Ave., Bayview metalsmith Daris Judd is showcasing her silver, gold and copper jewelry during a "trunk show" between noon and 2 p.m.

Down the highway in Coeur d'Alene, gallery owner Jim Quinn is exhibiting 60 pieces in a special one-day "road show" between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Best Western Coeur d'Alene Inn, 414 W. Appleway Drive.

"This is a rare opportunity to see a large offering of limited- edition Stephen Lyman lithographs and original work by other outstanding Pacific Northwest artists," says Quinn.

One of the artists in the show is Spokane painter Melissa Cole, whose figurative images are inspired by native artists she has encountered in Australia, Mexico and Bali. She and her photographer husband, Brandon Cole, have traveled the globe gathering material for 22 children's wildlife books published by Black Birch Press.

On one such trip near Vancouver Island in British Columbia, she scuba-dived among sockeye salmon during their fall run up the Adams River.

"It was amazing to see them swimming around me and over my head, curving and twisting," says Cole. "It had a huge impact on me and has influenced a number of my paintings."

The show also includes historical black-and-white prints of the Coeur d'Alene area by nationally known photographer Ross Hall, large, nonrepresentational oil paintings by Sandpoint artist Michael Pinchera and wildlife bird renderings by Janene Grende.

Northern Lights shines

That brilliant glow pulsating from the Northern Lights corporate headquarters in Sagle, Idaho, is not caused by electricity alone.

Part of the reason is the intensely colorful paintings, sculptures and drawings of husband-and-wife artists Tom Kramer and Robens Napolitan on display at the utility company.

Both artists began creating art when they were young, and a childlike playfulness is still evident in their work. "Art is a statement about innocence," said Kramer.

The free show, coordinated by the Pend Oreille Arts Council, remains up through Jan. 2, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Cedar Street Station

The recently renovated, 100-year-old former railroad depot at 502 Cedar St. in Sandpoint houses several places to view contemporary handcrafted items.

As the result of the renovation, Misty Mountain Furniture "has much more of a gallery look to it," says manager Paul Gollin. "We have a lot more space."

During December that space is being used to highlight the work of 10 Sandpoint artists including jewelers Aarow Bond and Titina Zuberbuler, fabric artists Melanie Habets and Holland Walker, crafters Tammy Powell and Mesha Edwards, metal sculptor Janet Lee Gilbert, stained glass worker Cheratana Robbins, photographer Woods Wheatcroft and tile maker Lizbeth Zimmerman.

Holiday hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

At nearby Luminesce Lighting, owner Andrea Levora is spotlighting mixed-media work by Louise Evans in the upstairs gallery, and a hanging oil lamp chandelier and unique blown glass table lamps by Spokane's Steve Adams on the main floor.

Evans, of Reno, Nev., is showing 23 works from her "Paths of Woman" series, which uses a variety of techniques and materials including silkscreen, aquatint, sugar lifts intaglio, Polaroid transfer, digitally manipulated images, collage, pastel and pencil.

"The surfaces and technique used are of as much importance and interest to me as the images themselves," says Evans, who will be in the store on Dec. 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The pieces can be viewed through February between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Fine arts and crafts fair

The North Idaho Arts Center, 1201 Michigan St. in Sandpoint, is hosting the "Chrisolhanzadanterlucia Arts and Crafts Faire" Saturday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Nearly 20 Sandpoint artists are showing their work including glassworkers Zabrielle Whittom and Bryan Dillon, impressionistic painter Betty Billups and photographer Janice Simeone.

Up on the mountain

After skiing Schweitzer Mountain this season, stop by the Mojo Coyote Cafe in the Selkirk Lodge for a cup of hot coffee and a look at the brightly painted canvases of Sandpoint artist Kristin Johnson.

"I'm definitely not afraid of color," says Johnson of her nonrepresentational acrylic paintings that hang from metal rods like tapestries.

St. Maries Council for the Arts

A number of Idaho artists are exhibiting their work through January at the St. Maries Arts Gallery.

Artists and crafters with work on display include Jo Smart, Cheryl Halverson, Jim Cormana, Jeanne Johnson, Florence West, Mary Lou Smith, Linda Schardine, Linda Mueller, Joan Lindsay, Jeanne Darden, Fran Perkins, Ray Rouse, Bonnie Shields, Dave Cope, Alison Meyer and MJ Shreves.

Stop by the free gallery at 827 Main St. in St. Maries between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Other galleries

Spokane painter Susie Snider will demonstrate her work Sunday between 1 and 3 p.m. across from Abercrombie and Fitch on the second floor of River Park Square. The Crawford Gallery in Deer Park City Hall is having a closing reception tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for its "Crawford Christmas" arts and crafts show.
