MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION!! Stephens was known for almost a century as one of the premier American boat builders; they were the West coast equivalent of Trumpy or Burger. Begining in the early 1900s with small wood runabouts, by 1980 they were building beautiful custom aluminum yachts of which Cheyenne is a prime example.
Built for an experienced local yachtsman, she spent her first 15 years in a covered fresh water berth and has had nothing but the best of care since. Most recently this involved what was reported to be a million dollar major refit in the late 1990's which included being stripped to bare metal and Awlgripped,a major overhaul of the engines and gen sets and an all new interior. Note she's a remarkably sea kindly vessel with full stabilization, air conditioning and sound systems in all of her four staterooms.
Also note she's lying in a Sausalito Yacht Harbor slip that might transfer; there's a wait of many years for a slip in the Sausalito Yacht Harbor, especially for big slips with views, so this is a material benefit if you're able to take advantage.
Vessel is realistically priced by a motivated seller, offers encouraged.

Officials say an Afghan police officer opened fire inside a police station while U.S. forces were visiting, sparking a firefight that killed two U.S. troops and three Afghan policemen.
Monday's incident in Wardak province appears to be the latest in a series of insider attacks against coalition and Afghan forces. It comes a day after a deadline given by Afghans for U.S. special forces to withdraw from the province.
Deputy provincial Police Chief Abdul Razaq Koraishi says three Afghan officers were killed. A coalition military official says two U.S. forces were killed. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose information pending an official statement.

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey: 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey: 2010 Health
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an annual statewide telephone surveillance system designed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). BRFSS monitors modifiable risk behaviors and other factors contributing to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the population. New York State's BRFSS sample represents the non-institutionalized adult household population, aged 18 years and older.
Although the overall number of respondents in the BRFSS is more than sufficiently large for statistical inference purposes, subgroup analyses can lead to estimates that are unreliable. Interpreting and reporting weighted numbers that are based on a small, unweighted number of respondents can mislead the reader into believing that a given finding is much more precise than it actually is. The BRFSS follows a rule of not reporting or interpreting percentages based upon a denominator of fewer than 50 respondents (unweighted sample). Both a csv and sas data files are available.

Student Weight Status Category Reporting System: 2008-2010 Student Weight Status Category Reporting System: 2008-2010 Health
The Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) collects weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile) at school entry (pre-kindergarten or kindergarten) and in grades 2, 4, 7 and 10 for students attending all public schools outside of the five boroughs of New York City.
Because of restrictions in reporting due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) there was wide variation in how much of the student population was represented in the data schools submitted during 2008-2010. Therefore the percentage of the student population represented in the county-level estimates varies from county to county. This limits researchers' ability to draw absolute conclusions about observed differences in student weight status among counties.

Leading you to an educated decision.
EMI / RFI - Shielding
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is electrical noise which creates a disturbance or undesired response in circuits, equipment, or systems. EMI is a generalization of an older term, radio-frequency interference (RFI). Many types of electrical circuits are susceptible to EMI/RFI and must be shielded to ensure proper performance. Shielding is the use of materials to reduce radiated EMI/RFI by reflection and/or absorption. Shielding should be placed where it best causes an abrupt discontinuity in the path of electromagnetic waves. Shielding effectiveness and performance is a function of the properties and configuration of the shielding materials, the frequency and the distance from the source to the shield.

"This invite is perfect for my daughter's shower...it is somewhat on the smaller side but quality of the paper and printing is great and I really like the card shape, something different and memorable! Have used Weddingpaperdivas for several projects so far and quality and service on all has been excellent, Thank you1"
"Was very happy with the whole process of selection, ordering, review and finished product. I wanted to add an extra line into the text and spoke to someone on the phone who explained how to include it. The proof review was very quickly emailed and the shower invitations arrived even sooner than I expected. It was a pleasure."
"Chose purple background - beautiful choice, color as represented, paper quality excellent. Very happy with this product!"
"I am very pleased with this product. The colors are exactly what was shown on the website. I got them for my sister's bridal shower. The reviewer contacted me shortly after I submitted my product- they were very knowledgeable and had good suggestions of what to change."
"The font was small and I increased its size. I put driving directions and a small map on the back. I required help from the designers and everything turned out perfectly ! I love the bird design, it reminds me of a kite , bringing motion to this delightful little invitation. I also made the font black rather than brown. I liked the clear definition rather than the soft hue. The pink was just what I had hoped for, not as soft as ballet pink , not as abrasive as bubble gum pink. Go for it, you will not be disappointed. It is feminine with flowers."

- "So, I go into this factory and I ice this Fat Charlie?"
- ―Niko Bellic.
- "That's right, I'm gonna go make a lot of noise so no one thinks I had anything to do with it."
- ―Phil Bell.
Tresspass is a mission given to protagonist Niko Bellic by Phil Bell. It is unlocked after completing Phil's previous mission, Catch the Wave.
Phil instructs the player to kill the Ancelotti Underboss named Charles "Chubby Charlie" Matteo, who is hiding in an abandoned Sprunk factory in Alderney. Chubby Charlie plans to rat the Pegorinos out; he's going to fly a chopper out of Alderney into Algonquin to deliver a 'message' to the Commission, and reveal that the Pegorinos were behind the stealing of the shipment of Coke from Vice City. Drive from the compound where Phil's office is to the Sprunk Factory. Phil gives Niko two possible options; attack from the abandoned underground service tunnel, or via the front door.
Niko enters and massacres the Italian and Russian Mafiosi in the factory and on its rooftop, before reaching a fleeing Charlie. A cutscene occurs; Matteo's Maverick arrives and descends slightly, allowing him to grab onto it. At this point, the player may choose to shoot him off the landing skid or destroy the helicopter in its entirety. After being disabled by the player, the Maverick will eventually explode and crash down into the open roof of the Sprunk factory, killing all those aboard, but most importantly, Chubby Charlie and his pilot (as Chubby Charlie stated that his pilot would "still deliver the message to the Commission" in the event of his death).
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the old Sprunk factory near Port Tudor
- Find Chubby Charlie
- Chase Chubby Charlie
- Take out the chopper
Progress slowly up each level, making sure to avoid the fire from those in the levels above. Chubby Charlie will see the player and begin to run, but do not be alarmed, as time is not a factor, and Chubby Charlie's Chopper will not arrive until the player exits the factory through the windows. Take out every other Mafioso and chase Charlie up to the roof. Soon, Charlie will get into the chopper and it will take off. It will hover long enough for the you to disable it, with a High-Velocity Weapon or RPG. The tail rotor is helicopters' weakest spot - several Carbine Rifle shots will do the trick.
Video Walkthrough
- Charles Matteo - Killed by Niko for discovering Phil Bell's role in sabotaging a cocaine deal.
- Many of Dimitri Rascalov's Mobsters
- The player should not take a vehicle he or she wishes to retain as Phil takes it, but there's a way to keep the vehicles (only works with four doors and vans). Before you go to the factory, park the car when the right side facing near wall or vehicles, then get out from the car and wait until Phil is getting out via the driver door, get in again to the car (which Phil use the rear passenger door at this moment), drive to the factory, skip the cutscene (or the car will be locked), and Phil will stay in the rear passenger seat, not going to the take over the car.
- If the player wishes to take the Super GT located outside the factory, he or she must do so before completing the mission, as afterwards it disappears. This is recommended as the Super GT is a rather rare vehicle.
- Even if you take the Contender (the one in front of the Super GT) far away from the building, it is still blown up at the cutscene.
- Chubby Charlie is invincible until he is hanging of the landing skid of the Maverick, at which time, he can be shot off, or killed in the crash.
- It is recommended to have at least one or two RPG rounds as it increases the player's chances of destroying the helicopter and not just killing Chubby Charlie.
- In The Ballad of Gay Tony, this is the name of the multiplayer match played at the Sprunk Factory.
- It is unclear why Chubby Charlie didn't just use a mobile phone to bring the news to The Commission.
- Phil calls Chubby Charlie a "top Ancellotti Capo" when in reality, he is the underboss.
- Remember that an up or down arrow on a blip indicates whether that target is higher or lower than your position. Keep an eye on Charlie's red blip to see whether he's above or below you. This gives you an idea of what to look for (a staircase or ladder, for example) when you're trying to track him down.
- If you're struggling with this mission go to the factory before the mission and get used to the factory's layout. Take note of any good spots you can use for cover.
- Also if you are struggling to destroy the helicopter before it flies away obtain an RPG either by buying one from a gun store or finding one via spawn point.
- Remember to take your time and use cover because the helicopter won't come until you reach the roof.

Though their first meeting with Trimble County came nearly three month ago on Dec. 10, South Oldham basketball fans must have felt a strong case of deja vu Tuesday night as a lopsided 78-49 win over the Raiders earned them a win in the opening round of the 29th district tournament.
"You always worry about those kind of games," South Oldham coach Steve Simpson said. "Sometimes it's hard to get a team ready to play when you won by 40 odd something the first time. We've really been pushing our guys so I thought we came out ready to play. I was real pleased."

Life is pretty hectic for Emma Roberts, starring in feature films like her most recent release, The Art of Getting By. That is why the 21-year-old, who grew up watching her aunt, Julia Roberts, on set, has certain cosmetics that she keeps in her beauty bag at all times.
The actress recently told Seventeen magazine that one main beauty staple is the lip gloss she spreads on those famous Roberts lips when she wants to look glamourous but natural. She also always keeps concealer on-hand for when a pimple crops up, and foundation with SPF, which is important for "pale people like me," she told the publication.
She also stocks moisturizing lip balm in a deep red hue so her lip palette always looks just right. Although she doesn't stock eyeshadow or the tools that achieve the rest of her effortlessly beautiful look, it seems that she typically lines her eyes with a black or brown pencil, then uses natural makeup palettes to make her eyes stand out while looking natural. Blush and bronzer likely help her get that healthy glow, despite her ivory skin.

Video: GateKeeper brings screams to Cedar Ponit
SANDUSKY -- Cedar Point's front entrance will never be the same.
Upon entering the Sandusky scream park, a new monster machine soars overhead as screams echo along Lake Erie's coast.
After nearly a year of anticipation, two ride demolitions and months of closely watched construction, Cedar Point has officially unleashed GateKeeper -- a new roller coaster for 2013.
Photos: GateKeeper soars to life - http://on.wkyc.com/173u6I5
"One of the tricks of the trade is knowing your audience and using their innate fear to generate excitement for the roller coaster rider," Rob Decker, corporate vice president of planning and design for Cedar Fair. "Fear is a very powerful emotion. Many guests come to our park to ride attractions as a form of escapism by challenging their fears while riding our super machines and record-breaking roller coasters."
GateKeeper takes its riders up a 170-foot hill before rushing the brave thrillseekers toward the park's redesigned main entrance at speeds nearing 70 mph. Its twisted, wicked path includes six massive inversions and tight twists through a pair of keyhole towers over the park's entrance.
The winged coaster, which lasts approximately 2 minutes 40 seconds, offers the sensation of flying as riders are seated on the sides of the track with nothing above or below them.
With their feet dangling freely, thrillseekers are able to kick the Sandusky sky.
GateKeeper, the park's 16th roller coaster, breaks several records, including tallest drop, longest track and most inversions of any winged coaster on the planet. It is the first roller coaster introduced at Cedar Point since Maverick debuted in 2007.
"This coaster is amazing and will give our guests so many thrills, on many different levels," director of park attractions Colleen Murphy says. "From the amazing view of Lake Erie to the twists and turns going through the keyholes, it has something for every thrillseeker."
Once the sun sinks, GateKeeper illuminates in a splash of color. The ride is equipped with LED lights and the train's front creatures feature glowing, red eyes.
Overall, Cedar Point says GateKeeper and renovations to the main entrances represent an investment of $30 million.
To make room for GateKeeper, crews demolished the Disaster Transport indoor roller coaster and the Space Spiral rotating observation tower last year.
Cedar Point opens for the 2013 season on Saturday, May 11.
Elements of the ride:
- Wing over drop: Once riders crest the top of the lift hill, the coaster train will rotate 180 degrees to the right, turning them upside down before plummeting toward the ground at speeds in excess of 65 mph.
- Immelmann: A maneuver where riders enter a half loop, go through a half twist and curve out in the opposite direction from which they came.
- Camelback: Riders will fly over a giant, 105-foot-tall camelback hill that will be filled with airtime (weightless sensation).
- Giant flat spin: A 360-degree flip that will provide two different ride experiences for guests on each side of the train.
- Zero-G roll: A flying element that takes riders through two support towers that will dominate Cedar Point's new main entrance.
- Inclined dive loop: A tight, 180-degree turnaround pushes riders through an overbanked turn and rockets them back toward the station.
- 360-degree in-line-roll: An element that will take riders extremely close to the new massive support towers while flying over guests who are entering the park below.
- Camelback drop: A quick drop that will help propel the train and its guests through the ride's final spiral element.
- Spiral: Gatekeeper's track rotates 360 degrees before bringing the coaster train back to the ride station.
GateKeeper construction facts:
- The park announced the ride on Monday, Aug. 13, 2012.
- The first track pieces arrived on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012.
- The first track piece was erected on Monday, Nov. 5, 2012.
- The ride's lift hill was topped off on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012.
- The final piece of track was placed on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013.
- The first train arrived to the park on March 4, 2013.
- GateKeeper went "live" with power on March 22, 2013.
- The ride began testing as engineers monitored speed, functions, braking, lift hill performance and stopping positions from April 4 - May 1, 2013.
- The media gets to ride on Thursday, May 9, 2013.
Ride stats:
- Track length: 4,164 feet.
- Lift hill: 170 feet.
- Angle of lift hill: 40 degrees.
- Vertical drop: 164 feet.
- Maximum speed: 67 mph.
- Time: 2 minutes 40 seconds.
- Capacity: Approximately 1,710 riders per hour.

A pair of Portland-based documentarians have set out on a world trek to talk with young people in their 20s about their hopes and worries. Morrigan McCarthy and Alan Winslow are half-way through their global odyssey as part of their project, called the Geography of Youth. So far they've cycled through more than 20 countries on four continents. Today, though, they're here in Portland, enjoying a short hiatus before hitting the road again. They spoke with Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Economic Religion vs. Environmental Religion in America
Recorded: Thursday, October 7, 2010
Part 1 |
Part 2
Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H. Nelson in his analysis of the roots of economics and environmentalism and their mutually antagonistic relations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The present debate raging over global warming exemplifies the clash of these two public theologies.

I used to think sensory deprivation was just a crazy torture method that no one in their right mind would opt-in for, until I stumbled upon some information recently about sensory deprivation floatation tanks.
These are water tanks big enough for one person, often set up at spas, where you can pay to float in salty water for hours, receiving almost no sensory information at all.
Sure, it seems crazy, but there are actually some alluring benefits, particularly when it's done for short periods:
Short-term sessions of sensory deprivation are described as relaxing and conducive to meditation; however, extended or forced sensory deprivation can result in extreme anxiety, hallucinations, bizarre thoughts, and depression.
And as much as I'm really excited to try one of these tanks myself now, I've also found some interesting ways to use the same principles in an average day.

My name is Kevin Chao. I go to Pratt Institute, and I'm studying graphic design. My work primarily involves image making and experimentation. I tend to create chaotic images and strip them away and somehow make them work. Music definitely inspires my work. If I want to make a more chaotic visual language, I would definitely put on some technical metal, some classical music, anything that gets my mind working. To me, posters are kind of the closest graphic design gets to fine art. Everything goes. My 3D poster involves contemporary architecture. Architecture is very experiential, and this way people can interact with the poster while they're viewing it. I drew an organic line in Illustrator, and I dropped vertical lines coming down and laser-cut all the negative space. My work has a lot of repeated forms and elements throughout it, and one trick that I use frequently is the Duplicate option, the Cmd+D function in Illustrator, which basically allows you to replicate the most recent action over and over again and to make patterns that are perfect. My end goal would to be definitely opening up a studio. Then I could have ultimate creative freedom basically in doing something I love. [Kevin Chao #madethis] [Make it with Creative Cloud]

http://www.newegg.com has 16 AGP cards under $50 that would do you a world of good. They aren't top of the line, but neither is the AGP standard and they will get the job done. However, Warhammer Online even with a new card isn't going to run very well on your machine. At low settings with effects off it'll be ugly, but somewhat playable. Just my 2 cents.

Speaking of changing the subject, you know how you're stuck in standing traffic, and all of a sudden this car comes in from the merge lane that THEY KNEW was going to end soon, and you drive a little closer to the car in front of you to make sure the car doesn't get between you two, because your mama didn't raise no fool?
And you know how you sometimes find yourself in a merge lane, and you try to get into a fast lane but car after car ignores you, and what the fuck is wrong with people, can't they see a car is trying to merge in? Why is everyone such a dick?
Or in other words, people are always right.
That's how I feel about the
But of course I'm having a great time so far. And not only that. I get angry when I hear people complain about other people who talk about the games. And I can turn a blind eye to the fact that most games are shown on ESPN rather than on a network, but what kind of a country is that when a world cup game is relegated to ESPN2 because of golf? GOLF!
Maybe it's because I get to watch a game during breakfast and another one while I relax during naptime. Or maybe it's because it's just addictive, and once you watch a game you can't stop. Or maybe it's because--and I know you Американские капиталисты don't necessarily agree--it's fun to watch these things. It's exciting, goddammit. And I know some asshole is going to say soccer is dumb, and that I must be desperate for entertainment if I spend hours watching Chile play against Switzerland. I mean, they don't even have working toilets in Chile. Or maybe that's Peru? But you know what I say to these people? I don't care! You don't like it? Don't watch it. No one gives a fuck what you think. Change a goddamn channel.
And the fact that Republicans hate soccer is maybe the best reason to watch.

okay okay, before you go on saying "But, Mits, this is an online CARD game, what else is there to do?" hear me out. I dunno about you but often times this games feels a little grindy, its the same thing over and over pressing the match button and dueling with mostly the same cards for long periods of time (especially when you're just starting out with just a few cards). Now you all might say hey, we got mirage master. But if you think about it, mirage master is played only once a day, and it is kind of a chore itself if you ask me. I know the developers might not have enough time or whatever, but adding a few other things to the game might help retain some playerbase. Not everyone is fond of repeated dueling after all.
Here are a few minigames/distractions I had in mind:
-competitive mirage master: where you can go head to head with someone in a matching game, there is no time limit.
-an actual story mode: maybe with little simple animations to go with it. I like the feeling of achieving something while against NPCs
-more NPCs: the npcs we have are kinda outdated and they dont use meta cards. Would be nice if more up to date NPCs were made.
-coop play: maybe you and a partner tag against NPCs or other pairs of players in tag duels
-puzzles: maybe simple ones like jigsaw puzzles of cards.
-unlockables: maybe if a player reaches a certain achievement they can be rewarded with exclusive cutscenes, concept art, or whatever.
-equippable achievements
-theme songs: when you duel, you can select what song your opponent hears.
-customize able menu screens- some can be unlocked from achievements.
- other non-card collectibles- lets face it, cards take a lot of resources to collect, at least make some non-card freebies more available like costumes and stuff.
I know people are going to hate or rage against my idea, the biggest reason being "we prefer the purity of card dueling grinds", but all I'm saying is perhaps this game needs a bit more substance. I want to LIKE playing this game, I shouldnt play this game to become the strongest card player or just because i already paid a ton of money for it. If you have any gripes against these ideas, post them below and we'll talk about it. IF you have other ideas for minigames or distractions, post them below too.

Part 1 of 4 - Reshaping the Western Grid: Compliance with FERC Order No. 1000 in the West
Event Start Time (Eastern Time):12:00 PM
City:Virtual Event
Company:Energy Central
FERC is driving a reassessment of how, and for what purpose, Western transmission is planned. It has continued its deferential approach to regional stakeholders, and has not prescribed organized markets as a solution. But, it clearly seeks to optimize electricity commerce across all regions and sub-regions through transmission infrastructure development.
With less than one year remaining before Western transmission providers need to incorporate new intra- and inter-regional planning and cost allocation procedures into their tariffs, is current progress sufficient? Are new procedures beginning to gel within and between the four "regions" that are working on the compliance process? What coordination models are under consideration?

Be aware that these are more for practice, as they do not reward you for defeating them. Once you are level 10, you have access to all 4 starters from each sphere. I feel that would be a sufficient amount of content for a brand new player to get an idea of what Alteil is from each sphere's perspective-they were designed to be competitive, but with their sphere's specific strengths and weaknesses in mind. If you would really like to delve into the world of Alteil from the perspective of someone that owns many cards, I recommend spectating some matches of some of our players in Folrart. Most of our regulars in Folrart have a decently diverse card pool, so I'm sure you'll be able to watch some interesting matches.
There are also replays and some (not many) youtube videos with commentary on Alteil. I recommend you go to the dedicated replays forums to watch some of the more recent ones, as the older ones may not exist anymore (they are deleted when replaced with a newer one).

May 5, 2016
MIAMI (AP) -- Florida's "Python Challenge" is more than halfway through, with more than three dozen Burmese pythons killed so far.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Tuesday that 37 of the invasive snakes have been killed in the Everglades since the competition began Jan. 12.
University of Florida researchers examine each snake, hoping to learn more about the elusive species that's considered a menace to the fragile Everglades ecosystem.
No one knows for sure how many pythons live in South Florida. A tally of 37 may seem low, but researchers say that number reflects how hard it is to spot pythons in the swamps.
More than 1,000 people signed up to hunt pythons through Feb. 10 in the hopes of winning cash prizes.

In Fall 2014 Hebrew Program welcomes new Director - Professor Ari Ofengenden
You can now watch Israeli TV on your computer via IPTV (click Tune In at the top of the page).
Listen to the Hebrew program radio show Shalom Brandeis every Thursday at 1pm.
Shalom Brandeis is a weekly Hebrew radio show in Hebrew on the Brandeis University's WBRS 100.1 FM in Waltham, MA, and on the internet.
The Hebrew Language and Literature Program enables students to function in the Hebrew language at all levels and in all skills. In terms of both the means and the goal of the program, a special emphasis is given to the personal needs of each student. For this reason we developed a multi-track curriculum that allows students in different levels to select those courses which best interest them, fit their abilities, and correspond to their needs. Students may choose courses that emphasize specific skills, such as reading, writing, speaking or grammar, or courses that are based on content, such as literature, film and theater.
In addition, the program recognizes the needs of the greater community of Hebrew learners in America by providing instruction and guidance on various issues of Hebrew language acquisition. The program offers a Hebrew seminar each summer which enables learners from various backgrounds to benefit from the unique resources of Brandeis. We also offer an opportunity to receive training in Hebrew teaching as part of our Teacher's Certificate Program.

Wonderful job Amy! And I loved hearing the story behind the quilt. Your friend will LOVE her quilt, so symbolic of the times you have shared together. The variety of flags makes me think of a quilt Nanette made a few years back that represented her heritage. I would like to make some for my grandchildren.
Beautiful! Now I am wanting to make a flag quilt with all of the places I have been!

I went on the BYU Theatre Spring Study abroad in London in 1994. Amazing! I would love to go back.
Oh my goodness. I love this! I'm sure your friend will, too.
Love, love, love. Can't wait to go back with both of you!
Yes! Hob Nobs are calling! 🙂
Oh my this is beautiful! 🙂
I just adore your flag quilts. Maybe I'll make one too!! My sister and I visited Ireland (the only place I have been overseas.) I thing commemerating that into a quilt would be lovely.

Thanks for the story too – always makes it that much more special!
What an awesome quilt Amy!!! I love it!!!
Absolutely wonderful. And I so agree, life is too short to wait to make a quilt for someone you care about.
Fab gift, I'm sure she loved it!
Amy, that is so beautiful! I am sure she loves her quilt – I know that I would love it…if you ever want to make me one I glad accept (LOL). I love the photos too – it's fummy when you look back at old times and clothes, hair, shoes etc. For me it's usually about the really awful spiral perm, faded jeans and go-go ruffled skirts!
that is so wonderful…and so full of memories…your friend must feel sooo special!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quilt!
The best quilt EVER! 🙂 I love it SO much, Amy!!!
What a fantastic job, Amy!!! Looks like a gift that will be treasured forever!
Yay for the Taiwan Flag!!! Thank you for quilting that!
That quilt is gorgeous and so is the story that goes with it! Your "old" friend will love and cherish it!!! I had no idea that the UK flag is composed of three, that is really interesting. It was my country's (Canada) flag until I was 11 and we called it the Union Jack. It was such a difficult flag to draw because all the measurements are different. I love quilts with meaning.
I really LOVED this quilt. The colors and the graphic quality of the flags really popped. I really enjoy checking your blog every few days. Thanks!
What an awesome quilt with a great story!! I am sure your friend appreciates it!
I had the same Barn Jacket at that time! Exact same.

Hah! I had that coat FOREVER. Barn jackets were all the rage back then…
Amazing! Just wanted to share though that the union jack at sea thing is a not-so-urban legend, aka a myth!

Thank you for your inspiring post!
Really?? I was told that when I made my Union Jack quilt this summer and then I thought, "Oh no! I've offended all of Great Britain! So this time I need to get it right!" Haha!
Amazing! Just wanted to share though that the union jack at sea thing is a not-so-urban legend, aka a myth!

An avalanche overtook a group of 15 skiers at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, but no serious injuries were reported.
A statement released by the Summit County resort says an A-Basin ski patroller was leading a group of 14 skiers when the avalanche was triggered in west Montezuma Bowl at about 2:45 p.m. Saturday.
The area was closed to the general public, but the resort says it had undergone "extensive" avalanche mitigation in recent days.
The Denver Post reports all of the skiers were accounted for, and one of them had to be taken off the mountain because of a knee injury.
The resort and the Colorado Avalanche Information Center are investigating.

Pittsboro Mayor Randy Voller is the new chairman of the North Carolina Democratic Party, barely turning back a last-minute push by former U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge.
Members of the State Executive Committee meeting Saturday in Durham elected Voller over Etheridge by a vote of 309-298.
Voller had been publicly running for two months and appeared to be the only candidate when former state Sen. Eric Mansfield dropped out last week. But Mansfield supporters sought Etheridge to run and he was nominated. Etheridge visited the Durham Convention Center but left before the meeting got started.
Voller succeeds David Parker of Statesville and arrives on the job after Democrats sustained heavy losses in the 2012 elections.
Voller said in his nominating speech he's ready to win the battle of ideas and campaigns.

WASHINGTON – A Montgomery County mother is facing multiple charges for allegedly exchanging sex with her teenage daughter for forgiveness of a debt.
Montgomery County prosecutors allege the mother told her daughter to perform sex acts with Bejarni Rivas, 44, to pay off the $5,000 debt between December and March. They allege that the mother received $100 for every encounter.
The mother has been charged with 11 total counts, according to court documents.
The documents show that when the girl begged not to go, the mother said, "I've done bad things to make you have a good life. Go with him."
The sexual abuse occurred more than one time, and ended after the girl told another relative.
The mother claims that she did not know about the rape.
A grand jury indicted Rivas on 13 charges, including second degree rape and sexual abuse of a minor.
"These defendants are facing a long, long time behind bars," says Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for the Montgomery County State's Attorneys Office.
WTOP does not name victims of sexual abuse without their consent. Identifying the mother would also identify her daughter. Officials say the girl is now 15.
The charges were first reported by NBC4. WTOP's Jamie Forzato contributed to this report. Follow @WTOP on Twitter.

SACRAMENTO, CA- Eight years after California settled a landmark lawsuit promising hundreds of millions of dollars to repair shoddy school facilities, more than 700 schools still are waiting for their share of funds as students take classes on dilapidated campuses with health and safety hazards.
California has funded less than half of the $800 million required by the Emergency Repair Program, which grew out of a class-action lawsuit against the state that former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger agreed to settle.
Since then, schools in 39 counties have waited as long as four years for the money to fix leaking roofs, crumbling pavement and clogged sewer lines.
Database: Schools' Emergency Repair Program funding status
As their projects languish without funding, schools are watching buildings deteriorate and hairline fissures split into cracks wide enough to swallow pennies.
They're scraping by with temporary fixes, diverting money from their classrooms and delaying other critical facility repairs.
Across the Sacramento region, 49 schools are waiting for more than $75 million in emergency repair funding that the state has approved but not yet paid.
The state owes 19 schools more than $1 million each, including nearly $7.8 million to Hiram W. Johnson High and $7.3 million to Fruit Ridge Elementary, both in the Sacramento City Unified School District.
SCUSD spokesman Gabe Ross said the district has collected less than $2 million out of nearly $60 million that was promised.
"I don't think anybody's holding their breath to wake up tomorrow to see a check for 58 million dollars," Ross said.
West Sacramento's Washington Unified School District has been promised nearly $3.7 million for Riverbank Elementary School as part of an $8 million overhaul of the 50-year-old campus.
Scott Lantsberger, Washington Unified's assistant superintendent of business services, said the district cobbled together local money for the state's portion of the project because it couldn't wait any longer.
"A student sitting at a desk that has water leaking on their head is not a very good educational environment, so I'd just like to be funded what they tell us they're going to fund us," Lantsberger said.
The Emergency Repair Program was born out of a landmark class-action lawsuit that sought to entitle every student to a clean, safe and functional school.
Williams v. California, filed in 2000 by the American Civil Liberties Union and other civil rights organizations, charged that tens of thousands of students, the majority low-income and nonwhite, were being deprived of basic educational opportunities by attending schools in "slum conditions."
In school after school, students reported too few working toilets, infestations of rats and cockroaches, and illnesses brought on by mold and fungus in their classrooms.
Then-Gov. Gray Davis put up a contentious fight. Over four years, the state spent nearly $20 million in legal fees to quash the suit.
When Davis was ousted in a recall election, Schwarzenegger called his predecessor's position "outrageous." In 2004, within a year of taking office, Schwarzenegger settled the lawsuit and declared: "We will neglect our children no more."
California agreed to pay $800 million under the settlement for the state's lowest-performing schools to address emergency conditions in their facilities.
"You had this cycle of disrepair," said Brooks Allen, director of education advocacy at the ACLU of Southern California and the attorney overseeing the settlement's implementation.
"The concept of this program was where you have an urgent health and safety issue, you should be able to take care of that right away," Allen said.
Every year starting in the 2005-06 fiscal year, the state was supposed to put at least $100 million into the Emergency Repair Program using leftover education funds; the program should be in its final year of funding.
Instead, the state's contributions to date - $338 million - have remained unchanged for the past five years. Money had barely begun to flow when lawmakers raided the program and then only partially reimbursed it.
For the past four years, amid budget shortfalls, the Legislature has amended state law to excuse itself from annual payments.
More than 1,540 schools have applied for emergency repair funding, and more than 1,150 have received at least some money.
Many are waiting for more funding, which is awarded in the order that applications are received, while others have received nothing.
The State Allocation Board - which holds the purse strings for state bonds and other funds for school construction and maintenance - already has approved more than 1,400 applications from 708 schools that, when funded, will nearly exhaust the $800 million program.
"You have a program in which all of the funds are essentially spoken for," the ACLU's Allen said. "It removes motivation for anybody else to have a stake in it."
Balancing the budget has required lawmakers to make difficult decisions and deep cuts to many state programs, said Assemblywoman Julia Brownley, D-Santa Monica, who leads the Assembly Education Committee and sits on the State Allocation Board.
"Our approach with the budget has been, well, we need to take care of our most vulnerable ... and particularly our poor children first and foremost, and I think that's what we've tried to do," she said. "That's taken precedent over perhaps the facilities issue."
In one case, Moreno Valley High School is owed $26 million for repairs out of the nearly $445 million the state has approved but not paid.
The school's red brick buildings are dull with faded graffiti. Beige portables are crammed in tight rows, their facades peeling, roofs leaking and floors rotting.
Basketball courts are cracked and brittle. The athletic field, surrounded by rusty chain-link fencing, is parched and lumpy with weeds, its uneven surface twisting ankles and scraping knees.
"I think the title says enough, doesn't it? Emergency Repair Program," said Stan Brown, who is now the Moreno Valley Unified School District's director of maintenance and operations. "Should it take four years to fund an emergency?"
On top of the projects in line for funding, the allocation board's staff, the Office of Public School Construction, has received applications from 769 schools requesting about $357.7 million - exceeding the $800 million the program is required to pay.
Funding was in such high demand that the program stopped accepting applications in December 2010. Its application backlog has not been processed in three and a half years.
Gov. Jerry Brown proposed devoting a little less than $12.3 million to the Emergency Repair Program in this fiscal year. But, as it did in years past, the Legislature eliminated the funding.
Allen is pushing for the Emergency Repair Program to become a slice of the state's annual budget so that it's insulated from competition for leftover education dollars.
At the time of the settlement, no one anticipated that funding for the program could dry up, he said.
Without legislative commitment for annual funding or without returning to court to amend the Williams settlement, the Emergency Repair Program "ain't going to win," said Jackie Goldberg, a former state assemblywoman from Los Angeles who wrote the bill that expanded the program to include grant funding.
"Just like deferred maintenance doesn't win, like textbooks never win - because they're not people. We don't lay them off," she said. "What moves the Legislature is people, and if I were there, it'd move me, too. I'd pick people over things every time."
Allen declined to say whether the ACLU would take the state back to court. Still, he said, "I do think that we've reached and gone past the point of exasperation with it. ... Ultimately, we're hopeful there will be a legislative solution."

Dual-ring simplicity.
SRAM's X0 2x10 High Clamp Front Derailleur shares technology with its XX stablemate in order to provide crisp and precise shifts. Specifically designed to work in conjunction with SRAM's 2x10 cranksets, the X0 is made to handle up to a 15-tooth differential between the big and little rings. Its cage is shorter and narrower than a triple-specific changer, which is great news for those who fear clearance issues between rear suspension and front derailleurs.
The aluminum links that shape the swing of the derailleur cage have widely spaced pivots for excellent stiffness. However, the rigidity inherent in the parallelogram is part of what makes X0 front shifting so quick and efficient. The derailleur cage is made from steel for maximum durability, and it's shaped for optimum efficiency with SRAM's X-Glide chainrings.
The SRAM X0 2x10 High Clamp Front Derailleur is configured to work as either top or bottom pull and is available in 31.8, 34.9, and 38.2mm clamp diameter options.

Adding & Dropping
After a student has officially registered in classes, the student may add a course, change a section, drop or withdraw from a course within certain dates specified in the Calendar of Instruction. Information regarding these procedures is available in the online time schedule or from the office of Admissions and Records.
A student who stops attending a course and does not file an official drop form with the Office of Admissions and Records may be marked as having failed the course by his/her instructor. Pg. 19 2013-2014 Catalog
Class Attendance
Attendance at the first class session is very important. Your instructor MAY drop you if you do not attend. If you must be absent during the first few days of class, contact the instructor directly.
Do not rely on the instructor to drop or withdraw you from class for non-attendance. If you have registered for a class, but no longer attend it, or have never attended it, you must drop or withdraw from the class.
Students are expected to attend class regularly and punctually. At the first class meeting, the instructor will give students a written statement of how many times a student can miss class. Excessive tardiness may be considered equivalent to absence. If a student exceeds this number, the instructor may remove the student from the class roll within certain dates as specified in the Calendar of Instruction (see the section under Credits and Grades entitled "W" Withdrawal). If a student disagrees with having been removed from the class roll, the student can appeal to the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. The student will not be allowed back into the class unless the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs and the instructor agree.
A student who is absent from a class for any reason is responsible for the content covered during the absence and for making up any course work that was required. In noncredit successfuly compeltion is 80% attendance and a passing letter grade or A, B, C, P (P Grades are not eligble for program certificate offerings). Pg. 19 2013-2014 Catalog
Auditing a Class
In both the credit and noncredit programs, only students who are officially enrolled in a course may attend class. Classes may not be audited. However, some noncredit classes are offered through a concurrent enrollment option for students who are interested in enrolling in a class but not interested in receiving credit.
Noncredit Financial Aid
Financial assistance consists of grants and student employment programs offered singly or in combinations to students who demonstrate financial need. The purpose of financial assistance is to provide monetary assistance to students who could benefit from furthering their education but cannot without financial assistance.

Village Apartments, Brown
Living in a SLU residence hall or apartment will provide you with a unique opportunity to study and socialize with American students. You will meet new people, learn about different cultures and interact with the student community. Involvement with the University community will strengthen your SLU experience and help you better understand American culture. Your Resident Advisor (RA) or the Department of Housing and Residence Life can provide information regarding activities and programs that foster community and development. You are strongly encouraged to participate in these programs.
Resident Advisors
Each residence hall and apartment building has multiple Resident Advisors (RAs). The role of a Resident Advisor is to supervise and advise students. Your RA is a great resource and can answer many of the questions you have about St. Louis and living on campus. If you are experiencing problems with your roommates, campus food, or any other aspect of campus living, you should talk with your RA first before seeking other help.
Living off campus
All first- and second-year undergraduate students are required to live on campus. After that, if looking for off campus apartments, consider the following:
- Length of the lease: When can you move in and out?
- Your monthly budget: What can you afford?
- Distance from school & transportation: How will I get to school?
- Safety: Is this neighborhood safe?
- If you will have roommates: How many rooms will I need?
This list, compiled by the Office of International Services, will help you locate housing off campus. Another good source for starting your search is provided through the office for Graduate Education.
If you need a place to stay for a few nights before taking residence in your regular housing, find a hotel at or near Saint Louis University's campus.
