A wedding for 150 all under $6,000, impossible? I think not! It is so very possible to have a perfectly gorgeous wedding on a gorgeously small budget.
When my husband and I got engaged we knew off the bat what we wanted our wedding to convey, US!, Personality, love & a way to give back even though it was 'our day'.
As I tell you the story of our planning and special day, I will highlight the things that I found most important when planning a budget wedding.
1. Make things personal, don't go for the typical. When you think out of the box or look at venues that aren't generally used for a wedding, rental prices can be much lower.
Since we wanted to incorporate things that really projected who we are we decided to get married on the University of South Carolina Horseshoe in Rutledge Chapel. It is the oldest building on campus and is simply beautiful with so much character. My husband was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina and an avid Gamecock fan, so what better place than right on Campus?
Beautiful huh? and here is a snapshot of the inside:
So what did this site cost us? A whopping three Benjamins. Yep $300. And lucky for us because our wedding was on a Sunday we did not have to stick to the normal 2 hour limit.
2. Saturday is not the only wedding day. Friday nights and Sundays are perfectly acceptable and incredibly lower in price.
Moving on. One of the most important things for Eric and I was a great photographer, but after recieving numerous quotes I realized, what we were looking for was really going to cost us, until I stumbled upon Christina Heaston (my saving grace!)
3. Consider photographers (and other vendors) who are up and coming. Often times if someone is trying to build there portfolio and will cost much less, but still be just as talented.
Photography: $975 which included 2 photographers, all day coverage & a disc with rights to us that included ALL the images taken that day.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day to show off Christina's amazing talent:
She captured our personalites perfectly.
One of my favorite purchases during the planning was our flowers. I wanted summery, bright & fun flowers for the wedding and my Matron of Honor helped me decide on sunflowers and snapdragons for the bouquets and an assortment of button poms and spider mums for the various medicine bottles and antique holders.
The grand total for all the flowers used on the wedding day was around $200. My wonderful bridesmaids put the bouquets together and they looked fantastic.
4. Buy your flowers wholesale and consider local markets for your flowers.
Websites like Growersbox.com offer free shipping with your order and have an assortment of 'wedding boxes' to choose from.
We used burlap to tie the bouquets and on mine I had an elephant brooch in honor of my husband's late grandmother who loved elephants.
5. Use your social network.
I really wanted a wonderful candy bar, but wasn't sure one would fit in the budget. Little did I know that a woman at our church had established a side business setting up candy buffets for numerous events. For $240 people she set up a gorgeous candy buffet with enough for people to munch on at the reception and take home a goody-bag filled with wonderful treats as their favor.
6. Friends are HUGE!
If you have friends that you know would be great at helping with certain things, don't be too shy to ask. I had three amazing girlfriends and 6 ushers from my church help with wedding day set up and coordination and another friend who runs the PA system at church work the sound for the ceremony.
7. Utilize craigslist
Sounds weird huh? I actually found my DJ on Craigslist for $200 and he was stellar! From beginning to end he kept the party going. Know what else I found? Our caterer! It was an up and coming catering business and because we were one of the first clients we paid $10 a person, which came out to $1,500. Think you can only get terrible food for that? Here is what we had and it fit our souther affair perfectly!
Chicken Salad Puffs on homemade butter croissant, Variety of meatballs, Strawberry tree and assortment of fruits with sweet dip, chopped barbeque with two sauces, roast beef carving station, honey roasted potatoes, & pasta salad.
So check out Craigslist, who knows what you will find. Under the Services section on Craigslist there is an 'even' section and a 'creative' section. Check it out, you'd be surprised what you can find.
8. Incorporate things YOU love, not what has become a wedding 'norm'
My husband has been and avid Toms Shoes lover from the time they were created. For every pair you buy, Toms will donate a pair to a child in need. So when the wedding planning began, one of my husband's first requests was Toms! How could I say no? What a perfect way to tie in something we really love & give back at the same time!
9. Do-It-Yourself! Go on, don't be scared!
With the help of my husband, bridesmaids & mom I was able to do so many projects myself. Not only was in money saving, it was fun! I loved hunting through antique stores and searching online for tutorials and pictures of what I wanted. The more you try and enjoy it, the less it seems like a HUGE task. Here are some do-it-yourself projects from our special day.
I found this feather at a fabric store for $2.50. I attached a haircomb to it and bam, perfect hair accesory.
Flower hairpins for my bridesmaids
Our ceremony table.
Our programs & well wishes made from recycled paper.
Our rustic pew decorations
I bought window panes from the antique store and used chalkboard spray paint to make these beautys. We had one on the candy buffet and one for the gift/guestbook table.
Well there you have it my top 9 Budget Savvy Bride tips.
Curious to know how much we spent on the whole day? Drum roll please...
So there it is in a nutshell, DIY, search craigslist, and utilize your social network! Enjoy your planning and I hope my tips and guides help you to be Budget Savvy Bride :) [I'll leave you with one final picture, my favorite of the day]

Toyin Olupona improved her NCAA Championships stock with a season-best effort in the 60m dash and Dee Dee Trotter matched her previous 400m provisional mark with one in the 200m dash on Saturday to spearhead a solid final day for the University of Tennessee women's track & field team at the Armory Collegiate Invitational.
In the 60m dash championship section final, Olupona (Orillia, Canada) ripped off her fastest time as a collegian, charting a 7.39 to finish third against a very talented field. LSU's Muna Lee claimed the title in 7.25, while South Carolina's Aleen Bailey was second at 7.36.
The UT sophomore's mark was an improvement over her 7.41 NCAA provisional qualifying mark from earlier this year and earned her a tie for the 12th-fastest short sprint ever run by a Lady Vol. She also moved closer to overtaking Heather Sumpter (7.37) as the No. 2 runner on UT's all-time performers list. Kelli White is first at 7.24. Olupona had advanced to the finals by virtue of a 7.47 reading in the prelims, where she finished with the second-quickest clocking behind only LSU's Lee (7.36).
As for Trotter, the fellow sophomore from Decatur, Ga., zipped to a season-topping 23.82 outcome in the 200 meters to place fifth against
a top-notch lineup. In addition to her provisional in the 400m, she now has one in the single-lap race. Her pace was just off her 23.78 of a
year ago, which ranks her third on the UT all-time performers chart.
In the 800 meters, sophomore Nicole Cook ran in the middle of the pack most of the way and utilized a strong kick to finish third in 2:07.70, which was a provisional mark but not an improvement over her season-best of 2:07.54. The margin between third and first was not much, as Neisha Bernard-Thomas took top honors in 2:07.57, while LSU's Marian Burnett finished second at 2:07.60. Redshirt freshman Brooke Novak saw her unbeaten streak come to an end, but the Kaukauna, Wis., product did lower her time in the mile to 4:51.37. That amounts to a nine-second improvement from the Penn State National Meet on Feb. 1 and is within three seconds of the NCAA provisional standard. Her efforts netted her a seventh-place outcome Saturday night.
Also tantalizingly close to an NCAA mark was the 4x400m relay team. The combination of Olupona, Cook, sophomore Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.) and Trotter covered the distance in a 2003-best 3:40.28 to take fifth. The time was nearly four seconds better than a 3:44.09 registered by Christina Billings, Cook, Gorham and Trotter at the Penn State meet two weekends ago. In the championship pole vault, senior Christie Elwin (Adelaide, Australia) managed a tie for second place with a clearance of 11-11.75/3.65m. Sophomore Lauren McNeil (Easton, Pa.) was seventh at 11-5.75, while sophomore Kendra Rhyne (Andersonville, Tenn.) was unable to clear a height. Simona Kovacic of Purdue seized the title with a jump of 12-5.50/3.80m.
Elsewhere, junior Erin Anderson (Kent, Ohio) was eighth in the B championship division of the mile in 5:11.88; junior Kelly Flowers (Westerville, Ohio) was 14th in the championship long jump at 16-11.50/5.17m; freshman Katie Flaute (Dayton, Ohio) and junior Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.) were 12th and 14th in the championship 3000m with times of 10:19.75 and 10:26.89, respectively; and freshman Caitlin Ward (Gibsonia, Pa.) posted a 10.01 in the championship 60m hurdle prelims but did not advance.
The Lady Vols will join the UT men in hosting the Tennessee Indoor Invitational on Friday, Feb. 21. The meet, which begins at noon with field events, will serve as the squad's final tuneup before the Southeastern Conference Indoor Championships on March 1 and 2 in Fayetteville, Ark.

text: I just raced my WRX against another WRX from stop, no launching just a regular step on gas when the light turns green race. The whole time we were neck and neck with him slightly ahead, but the funny thing is when we pulled over all he had was an uppipe and downpipe. My car has a turboXS hpbc, downpipe, uppipe, HKS catback, Samco intercooler hoses, Samco inlet, ported and polished throttlebody, K&N drop-in. Since I have more mods shouldn't I be a bit faster . I could only think of two reasons 1. Lack of engine management 2. My boost was only at 14psi in third. But isn't the advantage of an mbc faster spool? Well, it was good friendly race with another WRX .

Lawyers for the Mel Fisher company who exposed a million-dollar emerald treasure fraud moved Monday to drop earlier litigation that's hung up in an appellate court now that the scam has been revealed, according to federal court records.
The attorneys for Motivation, Inc., the treasure salvage company headed by Mel Fisher's son, Kim Fisher, filed an uncontested motion before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta as the four-year saga inches toward resolution.
Whether anyone will be indicted criminally in the hoax remains to be seen.
The motion filed Monday deals with U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King's January 2013 ruling that now-deceased salvor Jay Miscovich and his company, JTR Enterprises, can keep all the emeralds he claimed to find on the seafloor off Key West in 2010.
But King added a catch -- he ruled that JTR failed to prove that the gemstones were found on the seafloor, meaning the emeralds were never "court-validated" sunken treasure, which hurts their value.
Lawyers for JTR appealed that ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals. That appeal has been in limbo for about a year, until last week when U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore ruled the treasure find a fraud during a three-day hearing over lawyer fees.
Fisher wants JTR to pay his legal bills, and Moore obliged after hearing testimony that exposed the scam.
The emeralds, which turned out to be low-grade stones not worth the millions JTR originally claimed, are now in the custody of the FBI, which is criminally investigating Miscovich's business partner, former Navy sailor Steve Elchlepp Jr., and one of his former attorneys, Bruce Silverstein, among others associated with the company.
Miscovich committed suicide in October in Pennsylvania.
"During closing arguments, JTR's counsel conceded that JTR's alleged find was, in fact, a fraud since the emeralds comprising the treasure were purchased and salted in the Gulf of Mexico and then 'found,'" the motion states. "The case was filed for the purpose of establishing a fraudulent treasure provenance that would increase the value of the emeralds and further the fraud on investors and consumers."
Motivation lawyers argue the JTR appeal from the previous trial that King ruled in January 2013 is thus "entirely without merit."
"JTR's fraudulent admiralty case and the instant fraudulent appeal certainly qualify as frivolous -- at best," the motion states.
JTR attorneys will not oppose the motion, said John Siracusa, lead counsel for JTR.
"I reached out to them (Motivation) and we agreed to dismiss it," Siracusa said, adding that they may, however, contest whether their firm should help pay for Fisher's legal bills.
Fisher is going after a myriad of people involved with JTR, including Elchlepp and Silverstein, in his efforts to recover legal fees.
Fisher said Monday he will be seeking legal bills as the firm should have known Miscovich's claim was a fraud.
"Any reasonable person should have realized it was a fraud early on," Kim Fisher said. "The fraud part is over. Now I'm just trying to get my legal fees back. I'm not making money on the deal. This (civil litigation) is not something I wanted to do, but had to, to protect the (treasure salvage) industry."

Today we had an hour kung fu lesson at one of the local academies. We learned a basic movement routine. The master said we were fast learners but the movements also worked muscles that none of us knew that we had. Following the kung fu we took a high speed train to Xi'an from where I write. Tomorow is terricotta warriors. Gina and I are doing well, I caught a minor cold but am working through it very quickly. Hope everyone is well at home.

Beyonce, Jay-Z Studio Photo: Couple to Unite Musically?
Beyonce's newfound love for social media has her fans enraptured, and the latest picture of her and Jay-Z possibly in the studio together is nothing short of a dream come true. E! reports that the photo was shot by Jo'zzy, a writer/artist from Timbaland's crew who apparently was in the studio with the pair. The picture has since been taken down from Twitter.
The photo makes it pretty obvious that the couple are planning to collaborate again, and of course, the classy Mr. and Mrs. Carter appear to be drinking wine while they work. Although the married couple are both prolific musicians, they very rarely work together.
The initial track they hooked up for was " '03 Bonnie and Clyde" which came out in 2003, so many are speculating that the new track will be some sort of 10 year anniversary edition of the song. Given their creative impulses and history of originality though, it seems much more likely that Bey and Jay will put out something brand new.
Other tracks that the two have teamed up for a few tracks including "Crazy in Love," "Deja Vu," "Hollywood," "That's How You Like It," "Pray" and "Upgrade U" (video for that one below). Then of course, there was that time Beyonce joined Jay-Z onstage for his last performance at the newly opened Barclays Center.
All in all the couple have seven tracks together — here's to the eighth! Maybe it will even be done in time for them to perform it at the Superbowl Halftime show that Beyonce is slated for?

Super title winners the Chiefs 'humbled' as Hamilton puts on a parade.
The Chiefs can do the unthinkable and win three titles back-to-back despite losing some of their most experienced players, says the side's departing captain.
Hundreds of Chiefs fans, most decked out in black, red and yellow, lined central Hamilton's streets yesterday to celebrate their side's second Super Rugby title in two years.
The city held a parade in honour of the team which beat the Brumbies 27-22 at Waikato Stadium on Saturday night.
Schoolchildren took time off class and fans waved flags and screamed at their heroes to perform the team's haka - or at least take their shirts off.
The team's departing co-captain Craig Clarke said the send-off was humbling.
He said there was some sadness from himself, Richard Kahui, Lelia Masaga, Brendon Leonard and Toby Smith who are leaving to continue their playing careers overseas.
"It is a bit [sad], seeing this kind of thing and knowing this is one of the last times I'm with the lads as a group," said Clarke.
"This is what it's all about for us, being able to see what it means to the people of our franchise, it's really humbling and it's a pretty special feeling to see the kids who love you and even adults who go crazy when they see you."
Clarke said despite the loss of senior players and a big chunk of experience the team was in good hands and he didn't doubt the Chiefs could threaten for three titles in a row.
"With the coaching panel we have they will get the best out of anybody who wears the Chiefs jersey," he said.
"We have been planning for the moment when a few of us are leaving and a few of the young guys will be stepping up into leadership roles."
Among the supporters yesterday was 74-year-old Neville Snook of Hamilton, who said he had been watching rugby at Waikato Stadium since 1947. Mr Snook said the Chiefs' title win this year was the highlight of his six decades watching the game in Hamilton.
The Chiefs former top supporter Warren "Possum" Allen, who for more than 10 years was a fixture at Chiefs matches with his chainsaw, said the side was written off by many at the start of the year.
"But one thing I know about the Chiefs and people who live in the Waikato, we are pretty passionate, we like being the underdog and we will hang in there."
The team were awarded outstanding achiever's medals by Hamilton mayor Julie Hardaker.
"This is a win not only for our city and the Waikato region, but one the whole country can be proud of."

Self, God and Immortality: A Jamesian Investigation
€ 88,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Januar 2000
BeschreibungCan we who have been touched by the scientific, intellectual, and experimental revolutions of modem and contemporary times still believe with any degree of coherence and consistency that we as individual persons are immortal? Indeed, is there even good cause to hope that we are? In examining the present relationship of reason to faith, can we find justifying reasons for faith? These are the central questions in Self, God, and Immortality, a compelling exercise in philosophical theology.Drawing upon the works of William James and the principles of American Pragmatism, Eugene Fontinell extrapolates carefully from "data given in experience" to a model of the cosmic process open to the idea that individual identity may survive bodily dissolution.Presupposing that the possibility of personal immortality has been established in the first part, the second part of the essay is concerned with its desirability. Here, Fontinell shows that, far from diverting attention and energies from the crucial tasks confronting us here and now, such belief can be energizing and life enhancing.The wider importance of Self, God, and Immortality lies in its pressing both immortality-believers and terminality-believers to explore both the metaphysical presuppositions and the lived consequences of their beliefs. It is the author's expressed hope that such explorations, rather than impeding, will stimulate co-operative efforts to create a richer and more humane community.
PortraitEugene Fontinell is Professor of Philosophy at Queens College, City University of New York.

Aaron Hernandez update: Third suspect will head to Boston; jerseys a hot-ticket item on eBay
|07.01.13 at 1:08 pm ET
Under arrest and denied bail, Ernest Wallace is headed north.
Wallace, the 41-year-old arrested Friday in connection to the murder of Odin Lloyd, has been held without bail since his hearing Saturday in Florida. He also will not fight a move to extradite him on a currently unspecified date to Massachusetts, where he will be charged with serving as an accessory after the fact in Lloyd's murder, the case in which Aaron Hernandez is also being held without bail.
While Wallace and Hernandez sat in their respective jail cells separated by the length of the East Coast, the latter unknowingly served as motivation for a brawl early Saturday morning.
According to the Hartford Courant, police were called to the Gold Roc Diner in West Hartford, Conn., around 3 a.m. Saturday when a fight broke out after someone shouted, 'Hey, Aaron Hernandez,' when he or she spotted a lookalike.
Turns out, it might have been the former Patriots tight end's brother, DJ Hernandez. DJ Hernandez was not among the three men arrested as a result of the altercation — nor do police know for sure he was even present — but two of the men taken into custody said the elder Hernandez had been with them and stayed out of the fight.
West Hartford is about 20 minutes from the Hernandez family's hometown of Bristol.
Much closer to Wallace's holding place, a pair of Floridians made a quick, and arguably unexpected, buck on eBay over the weekend. Users of the online auction site from Titusville and Miami had their used Aaron Hernandez No. 81 jerseys sell for $284 and $250, respectively.
According to a report in Monday's Boston Globe, those are just two in a slew of examples of Hernandez merchandise that has not exactly taken a hit since he was charged with murder last week.
The Patriots took all Hernandez products out of their team shop, and are offering fans other jerseys in exchange for their Hernandez ones this weekend, but the demand is, apparently, still high.
As 9-year-old Conor Brown told his father, Jeff, of the online jersey sales: 'There are a lot of crazy people in this world."

A Suspension Center To Address Disruptive Kids
A little more than a year ago, The Wave ran a front page story heralding the opening of the first "Second Opportunity School," better known as suspension centers, to address the problem of disruptive students in the peninsula's high schools and middle schools. The only problem was, the school, slated for Beach 115 Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard, never opened. Suffice it to say that it did not open because of a dispute between Region Five Superintendent Kathleen Cashin and the community-based organization that was contracted to run the program because organization founders complained about some of the superintendent's other plans for Rockaway schools. Since that time, there have been several band-aid programs to address the problems of kids who disrupt the education of others, who bring weapons to school, who set fires, who rob and beat other students. One such program is the after-school program at Beach Channel High School that brings the disruptive kids into the building after all the other kids are gone for the day. There are similar programs in other parts of the peninsula. They are too little, too late. What Rockaway needs is a central suspension program that takes the disruptive students from their buildings and keeps them away until they have learned that education takes commitment and discipline. Moving kids from a school and putting them back two weeks later or, worse, moving them from building to building, is no solution to the deep problem most of our schools have in dealing with the small percentage of students who will not allow the others to get a decent education. We have often suggested that the program be housed at MS 198, a little-used school in the central part of the peninsula. Now that a high school magnet program is reportedly coming to the building, however, that is no longer an option. Perhaps the High School magnet health careers program could be moved to Middle School 53, which is seeing its use fall precipitously because most of its feeder schools are becoming kindergarten to eighth grade organization. That would leave MS 198 free for a suspension center. In any case, a center is needed and needed quickly. There are just too many disruptive students allowed to roam our schools, destroying the hopes of everybody else.

Hello All from Malaysia
Can't believed my eyes when I stumbled into this web site, there are so many things for any DIY freak like me to check out. Well done guys !!
I am from Malaysia and DIY has been picking for the last 10 years, its used to be for people here to call someone for little DIY jobs here and there in the house, but things have changed, I love to do any DIY at home.
Recently, I bought myself a Skil Laser level via my bro from UK and it comes with 2 air bubbles but realised one of it has dried up.
Can anyone help me how to fill with water ?? I was thinking of drilling a tiny hole, pump in some colour water and seal it up with glue or something.
Help appreciated, thanks.
Welcome to the site. Sorry about your laser level issue. I can't help you at all with that matter.
Why don't you post that problem as a separate question in the "Tool Forum".
It may have a warranty

The Impact of Secondary Schooling in Kenya: A Regression Discontinuity Analysis
Journal of Human Resources, accepted September 2016.
(Appears as World Bank WPS 7384; also available from SSRN.)
Abstract: I estimate the impacts of secondary school on human capital, occupational choice, and fertility for young adults in Kenya. Probability of admission to government secondary school rises sharply at a score close to the national mean on a standardized 8th grade examination, permitting me to estimate causal effects of schooling in a regression discontinuity framework. I combine administrative test score data with a recent survey of young adults to estimate these impacts. My results show that secondary schooling increases human capital, as measured by performance on cognitive tests included in the survey. For men, I find a drop in the probability of low-skill self-employment, as well as suggestive evidence of a rise in the probability of formal employment. The opportunity to attend secondary school also reduces teen pregnancy among women.
Does Africa Need a Rotten Kin Theorem? Experimental Evidence from Village Economies
Review of Economic Studies (2016) 83 (1): 231-268
Joint with Pamela Jakiela
(Earlier version appears as World Bank WPS 6085; also available from SSRN.)
Abstract: This paper measures the economic impacts of social pressures to share income with kin and neighbors in rural Kenyan villages. We conduct a lab experiment in which we randomly vary the observability of investment returns to test whether subjects reduce their income in order to keep it hidden. We find that women adopt an investment strategy that conceals the size of their initial endowment in the experiment, though that strategy reduces their expected earnings. This effect is largest among women with relatives attending the experiment. Parameter estimates suggest that women anticipate that observable income will be "taxed" at a rate above four percent; this effective tax rate nearly doubles when kin can observe income directly. At the village level, we find a robust association between willingness to forgo expected return to keep income hidden in the laboratory experiment, and worse economic outcomes outside the laboratory. Though this paper provides experimental evidence from a single African country - Kenya - observational studies suggest that similar kin pressures may be prevalent in many parts of the developing world.

Monitoring and evaluating the impact of national school-based deworming in Kenya: study design and baseline results
Parasites and Vectors (2013 July) 6:198
Joint with CS Mwandawiro, B Nikolay, JH Kihara, DA Mukoko, MT Mwanje, A Hakobyan, RL Pullan, SJ Brooker, SM Njenga
Abstract: An increasing number of countries in Africa and elsewhere are developing national plans for the control of neglected tropical diseases. A key component of such plans is school-based deworming (SBD) for the control of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) and schistosomiasis. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of national programmes is essential to ensure they are achieving their stated aims and to evaluate when to reduce the frequency of treatment or when to halt it altogether. The article describes the M&E design of the Kenya national SBD programme and presents results from the baseline survey conducted in early 2012.

The Impact of Violence on Individual Risk Preferences: Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Revised April 2016 as IZA Discussion Paper 9870; Joint with Pamela Jakiela
(Earlier version appears as World Bank WPS 7440; also appears as Households in Conflict Network working paper 204; also available from SSRN.)
Abstract: We estimate the impact of Kenya's post-election violence on individual risk preferences. Because the crisis interrupted a longitudinal survey of more than five thousand Kenyan youth, this timing creates plausibly exogenous variation in exposure to civil conflict by the time of the survey. We measure individual risk preferences using hypothetical lottery choice questions which we validate by showing that they predict migration and entrepreneurship in the cross-section. Our results indicate that the post-election violence sharply increased individual risk aversion. Findings remain robust when we use an IV estimation strategy that exploits random assignment of respondents to waves of surveying.
Exploiting Externalities to Estimate the Long-term Benefits of Early Childhood Deworming
Revision resubmitted, February 2017.
(Earlier version appears as World Bank WPS 7052; also available from SSRN.)
Abstract: This paper investigates whether a large-scale deworming intervention aimed at primary school pupils in western Kenya had long-term effects on young children in the region. The paper exploits positive externalities from the program to estimate the impact on younger children who did not receive treatment directly. Ten years after the intervention, large cognitive effects are found -- comparable to between 0.5 and 0.8 years of schooling -- for children who were less than one year old when their communities received mass deworming treatment. Because mass deworming was administered through schools, effects are estimated among children who were likely to have older siblings in schools receiving the treatment directly; in this subpopulation, effects are nearly twice as large.

Perils of simulation: parallel streams and the case of stata's rnormal command
November 2012 (World Bank WPS 6278); also available from SSRN.
Abstract: Large-scale simulation-based studies rely on at least three properties of pseudorandom number sequences: they behave in many ways like truly random numbers; they can be replicated; and they can be generated in parallel. There has been some divergence, however, between empirical techniques employing random numbers, and the standard battery of tests used to validate them. A random number generator that passes tests for any single stream of random numbers may fail the same tests when it is used to generate multiple streams in parallel. The lack of systematic testing of parallel streams leaves statistical software with important potential vulnerabilities. This paper shows one such vulnerability in Stata's rnormal function that went unnoticed for almost four years, and how to detect it. It then shows practical implications for the use of parallel streams in existing software.

Ohio Valley Bank Joins Federal Reserve System
May 20, 2013
Gallipolis, Ohio - The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has approved an application by Ohio Valley Bank, Gallipolis, Ohio, to become a member of the Federal Reserve System.
Ohio Valley Bank President and CEO Tom Wiseman commented, "I congratulate the employees of Ohio Valley Bank for achieving this milestone in the bank's history. This membership opens up the opportunity for Ohio Valley Bank to have a more active role in our nation's banking system."
Banks that are state-chartered, like Ohio Valley Bank, are divided into those that are member of the Federal Reserve System (state member banks) and those that are not (state nonmember banks). State banks are not required to join the Federal Reserve System, but they may apply to become members if they meet the standards set by the Board of Governors. Ohio Valley Bank has met those standards.
Membership in the Federal Reserve System provides a bank with the ability to take part in the election of directors to the board of the Federal Reserve Bank in the Reserve District in which the bank is headquartered. Directors of Federal Reserve Banks establish the primary credit rates, otherwise known as discount rates, of the Reserve Banks, subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; provide information on economic conditions, which is used in the process of establishing monetary policy; and provide general oversight of the operations of Reserve Banks. Member banks are also permitted to hold stock in their regional Federal Reserve Bank. For Ohio Valley Bank, this would be the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. The stock pays a dividend annually as provided by law.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland is one of 12 regional Reserve Banks that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., comprise the Federal Reserve System. As the nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve System formulates U.S. monetary policy; supervises state-chartered member banks and bank, thrift, and financial holding companies; extends credit to depository institutions through its discount window; and provides payment services to financial institutions and the U.S. government. Payment services include check clearing, electronic payments, and the distribution and processing of currency and coin.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, including its branch offices in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, serves the Fourth Federal Reserve District, which includes Ohio, western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, and the northern panhandle of West Virginia.
Ohio Valley Bank, established in 1872, is a FDIC-insured community bank operating 15 offices in southern Ohio and western West Virginia. Share of Ohio Valley Banc Corp. stock are available on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol, OVBC.

"Grimsly Manor"
Remember those little holiday snow villages that pop up around Christmas time on people's dinning room buffets and console tables, quaint porcelain houses lit up inside and nestled in fake snow made of soft white batting? My parents set up a village like that every year...And because Halloween was MY special time of year, my mom would set up a special Halloween village scene for me, repurpishing her snow village houses and other little knick knacks and items to create a creepy village that I would sit by and stare at for hours... Little did I know until recently that Department 56 - the people responsible for all those delicate light-up snow covered cottages - make a Halloween town collection...many of the best pieces have sadly been retired but there are still some awesome items for sell...This here is the Grimsly Family Manor...It's too bad that these homes are soooooo flippin' expensive because they are funny and fun and a great treat to set up for your kids...if you wanted to do it on the cheap, there's always the option of buying one of the homes that you really like and then building a scene around it with the less expensive accessories...you can buy little tombstones, pumpkin patches, creepy iron fences, spooky trees, skeletons... ...i just got distracted looking at the accessories and fantasizing about building my own Halloween Town...now I know why people spend weird sums of money for kitchen fairies and elvis plates...these Halloween houses are like my precious moments...and don't you dare judge me...
What a beautiful Doll! Could be considered a collectible not just for a Bride (as it is listed on the website), but would be a precious addition in any fairy tale, sprite, angel, or faerie collection of dolls & figurines...Tags: gifts, art, gold, decorations, wedding, bouquets, collectibles, romance, fantasyAdded 7 Years Ago from Collectibles Today

Outsourcing Safety. . . to the Marshall Islands
Just when you thought the BP mess could not get more surreal, this comes up:
The Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico was built in South Korea. It was operated by a Swiss company under contract to a British oil firm. Primary responsibility for safety and other inspections rested not with the U.S. government but with the Republic of the Marshall Islands — a tiny, impoverished nation in the Pacific Ocean. And the Marshall Islands, a maze of tiny atolls, many smaller than the ill-fated oil rig, outsourced many of its responsibilities to private companies.
Now, as the government tries to figure out what went wrong in the worst environmental catastrophe in U.S. history, this international patchwork of divided authority and sometimes conflicting priorities is emerging as a crucial underlying factor in the explosion of the rig.
Sounds a bit like asking a government to certify the safety of investments—and having it effectively delegate the job to Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations. Keeping authority in the US may have just made matters worse:
MMS depends largely on the self-reporting of oil and gas companies to determine how much they owe in royalties — a system the Interior Department's former inspector general, Earl Devaney, described as "basically an honor system" in congressional testimony in 2007. . . . The MMS commonly negotiates settlements with petroleum companies over disputed royalties — but the process is often shrouded in secrecy. A 1996 inspector general report found that MMS officials kept no documents on nine out of 10 royalty settlements, to prevent disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. In one case, the MMS could provide no records to explain why the agency reduced its estimate of a company's royalty debt by $360 million. . . . [More errors] sparked outrage in Congress and yet another probe by Devaney, the inspector general. He later called the oversight a "jaw-dropping example of bureaucratic bungling" and said it could cost the government as much as $10 billion.
It has become fashionable of late to contrast enlightened, US-style "free market capitalism" with the "state capitalism" of petro-states like Russia. Anyone familiar with the work of David Cay Johnston or James K. Galbraith would suspect that analysis. Recent oil debacles complicate the distinction even further.

My dog is suddenly afraid of his food and water bowls!
My 8 year old Airedale/Shepard is very suddenly too scared to eat or drink from his bowls. We got him from the pound over 6 yrs ago and he's always been very skittish. He's eaten out of metal bowls in a raised holder for several years. Don't know what scared him, but he will NOT eat or drink unless we put his food directly on the floor or touch him while he drinks. We even tried ignoring him in the hopes that if he's hungry or thirsty enough he'd eat or drink, but no luck.

I would change his bowls to something else like plastic. Sometimes it only takes one thin g to scare them and they don't forget. It could be something that happened when you weren't there.

This is good but can I think be improved by correcting
what looks like a little slip and moving more work outside
the loop.
mark touse
markout touse <predictors>
replace touse = 0 if !drought
levelsof country if touse, local(K)
foreach k of local K {
logit drought <predictors> if country == `k' & touse
If -country- is a string variable, use "`k'" instead.

>> drought`i'=the situation in a certain country
>> droughtcount`i'=the number of times a situation did occur in the past.
>> For country 3 this results in the following error:

>> r(2000);
If you _know_ that all obs are zero in the situation were outcome does not
vary, one way would be:
levelsof country, local(K)
foreach k of local K {
count if drought & country == `k'
if r(N) > 0 logit drought variable1 variable2
Problems might still arise as a result of missings in the dependent variables.
A more general approach would be something like
mark touse
markout touse variable1 variable2 variable3 <list of independent variables>
levelsof country, local(K)
foreach k of local K {
count if drought & country == `k' & touse
if r(N) > 0 logit drought variable1 variable2
It might be also sensible to set the level for calculating the equation a
little higher by using -if r(N) > 30-, for example.

Percy's now open for business
Update, Aug. 20
The folks at Percy's (5233 Ballard Ave NW) went ahead and decided to open last night, as they originally planned.
Cocktails at Percy's are apothecary-inspired, leaning heavy on different herbs. Their cocktail menu features drinks like the "Wild Ones" ($9), which has basil-infused tequila, orange liqueur, strawberry puree, fresh rhubarb and sour mix; or the "Garfunkel" ($8), wich parsley-sage-rosemary-&-thyme infused gin, fresh watermelon juice, mint & our sour mix.
Chef Dave Lamping is serving up the plates. You'll find seasonal items such as the parisienne gnocchi ($14), served with sweet corn, roasted oyster mushrooms and brown butter; and the pork dip sandwich on baguette ($10) served with sweet onion marmalade, wilted pea vines and pork jus.
Percy's will be open seven days a week, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. A brunch may become available later.
We'll drop by and get some photos.
For more info and to look at the menus, visit http://percysseattle.com/
Update, Aug. 16
OK, we got an email from Percy's owner Jeffrey Ofelt saying that the Monday, Aug. 19 date might not happen. "There are a lot of things that need to happen between now and then to make that happen," he said.
In any case, it looks like the place is starting to come together. You can follow the progress on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/percys.seattle
Update, Aug. 15
Percy's, the apothecary-inspired cocktail bar that's moving into the Old Town Alehouse space at 5233 Ballard Ave NW, is opening soon.
According to Percy's Facebook page, they are opening next Monday, Aug. 19.
We'll drop by and get a look at it.
Original, Nov 13
The Old Town Alehouse looks like it's closing.
According to the Liquor Control Board, a liquor license application has been submitted for the Alehouse's location on 5233 Ballard Ave NW. The Old Town Alehouse has been around for 17 years.
The building itself has been home to a bar of one kind or another for almost its entire 110-year history, according to the Alehouse's website, first serving as a home to the Ballard Bar, then transforming to Percy's Men's Furnishing (Percy was the owner of Ballard Bar) during prohibition. Then, after prohibition, it became the Silver Spot Beer Parlor, the Enger's Fish Knot Inn and in 1995 the Oldtown Alehouse.
And now, bringing back the name of the original owner of the space, a new bar will be coming into town, "Percy's." The name of the applicants are the business duo Jeff Ofelt and Wade Weigel, who have had their hand in a few other well known gems, in Ballard and throughout Seattle: King's Hardware, Rudy's Barbershop and Sambar, as well as Ace Hotel, Chop Suey's and the Chacha Lounge -- among many, many others.
The folks at Old Town Alehouse have yet to make an official statement or say when they are closing.

As you may recall, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degHow many sides must a polygon have if the sum of the interior angles is2520 deg
1 Answer | Add Yours
We know that if a polygon has n numbers of sides then we can form (n-2) triangles inside the polygon. In other words the sum of n interior angles are denoted by the sum of interior angles of (n-2) triangles.
So if the polygon has n sides;
`(n-2)xx180 = 2520`
`n-2 = 14`
`n = 16`
So the polygon has 16 sides.

Redesigning High School Science Curriculum to Meet the Demands of Global Competition
College Board and the National Science Foundation Host Discussion
Recent studies indicate that U.S. high school students continue to slip further behind other nations in their ability to apply scientific concepts and skills. One major exception are Advanced Placement students, who score at or near the top of international exams and are much more likely than their peers to pursue college majors in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Because these AP science courses are preparing the next generation of U.S. scientists, the National Science Foundation recently awarded a grant to the College Board. The grant will be used to develop a process, based on the recommendations of the National Research Council, for making ongoing changes to the Advanced Placement science courses and exams to incorporate the latest science developments and leverage best practices in the teaching of science.
As our nation's leaders are placing new emphasis on economic competitiveness and the importance of improving science education in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools, please join Dr. Arden Bement, Jr., director of the National Science Foundation, and Gaston Caperton, president of the College Board, for a panel discussion about what it will really take for educators to meet the demands of global competition and rapid advances in scientific discovery.
The discussion will focus on how science course content and classroom practice must change to prepare students for successful college careers in the STEM fields, while also tackling persistent performance gaps among racial and ethnic groups.

We all know of N. C., Andrew, and Jamie Wyeth; of Pablo and Paloma Picasso; of the extensive art thread running through the Peale family; of Henri Matisse and his son, Pierre; the Gentileschis; Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun - the list is really quite extensive. One father-son instance that had escaped me until recently was that of Camille Pissarro and his son, Lucien. In many respects, having a parent who has enjoyed some success in art is a great asset for the son or daughter - free art lessons. The family name also allows the second-generation artist a leg up in his or her career and a chance to know the right people once that career begins to get off the ground. By the same token, it also saddles the second-generation artist with sometimes a pretty tall standard to live up to. Lucien Pissarro was lucky. His father was not only an outstanding artist in his own right, but is also remembered as an exceptional teacher as well. He numbered among his students Gauguin, Cézanne, van Gogh and, of course, his son. He's said to have been the most kind-hearted artist who ever lived.
Lucien Pissarro was born in Paris in 1863. An eldest son, he was grew up at a time when his father was still a relatively unknown figure in French Art. Impressionism was still several years in his future, and it's heart-warming to picture father and son sitting together in some idyllic French countryside scene enjoying one another's company as they each worked at their easels. There's nothing to indicate, however, that Lucien Pissarro was any kind of child prodigy, although there is evident in his painting substantial stylistic and colour influences from his father. When war came to France in 1883, Camille Pissarro shipped his family off to England for the duration. There the young man, now 20 years old, worked as a cloth merchant. He stayed long after the war, learned the language, and eventually married a nice young English girl.
Actually, it would seem, despite his new English roots, he spent almost as much time in France as in England. In 1884, he and his father both met Georges Seurat and took up Pointillism. Around the same time, the two also came into contact with Vincent van Gogh and were active in what they called Neo-Impressionism. However, the son's interests were as much in engraving as in painting. His father arranged for him to study under the wood-engraver, Auguste Lepere. His talent in the print medium he took back to England with him where, in 1894, he founded his own printing company, Eragny Press, specialising in illustrated books and journals. After his father's death in 1903, Lucien Pissarro painted only sporadically, devoting most of his time to business and engraving. He died in 1944 at the age of 82. His story, his relationship with his father, and his art, are all interesting, if not exceptional. He in no way rose to the same level of importance in art as his father and his career took a very different direction. But that too is not uncommon in such instances. Picasso's daughter designs jewellery and Pierre Matisse eventually chose to sell art rather than create it.

kenmore 596.58695890 cooling issues
I seem to be having some cooling issues with my kenmore 596.58695890. Last year the condensor fan wasn't working, so I had to replace the control for that. Now I've noticed it's not quite getting cold enough, some things are thawed a bit. Sometimes it's plenty cold, sometimes it's not.
I removed the back panel, and the top half was frosted but not the bottom. Fan wasn't running, closed it for a minute, walked away and the fan was running. Did a manual advance to defrost mode and that kicked in and definitely works as it heated up the coils and defrosted them completely.
Advanced it again so it should be cooling, but the evaporator fan isn't running again. I'm not sure if that should always be running, or if it just runs at certain times during cooling mode. I know it was working earlier, just doesn't seem to run all the time, so not sure if that's my problem again.
Thanks in advance.
As a followup to this I did test for power at the 2 leads going to the motor that controls the fan. All I have is a cheapo tester, same I used last year, that shows AC110V and AC220V. I believe last year it showed power to here when the motor was bad.
This time I'm not showing anything at those 2 leads, but the fan was definitely running earlier in the day. Reading in some of the forums this sounds like it might be something to do with the defrost thermostat maybe? But not sure how to test that.
And now the fan is running again, about an hour and a half after it's been in cooling mode and the freezer being up around 45 degrees at the very top. So, I think I'm going to order a new defrost thermostat sometime this weekend, but if someone wants to chime in to confirm my suspicions that would be great :)
i'm no help just waiting to hear the problem
Adding a bit more to this in case anyone has any advice. It seems like it goes through a normal defrost/cooling cycle, but the only thing is that the fan doesn't kick in until it's about 40 degrees in the freezer, then it kicks on and it cools to about 10 degrees or so as it should. I have no clue what would be causing that so any advice would be appreciated.
596 cooling issue
I beleive,on that model of 596,the fan is controled by the defrost thermostat,terminator,or bimetal,whichever you want to call it.When you check the bimetal,my preference,see if it doesn't have 4 wires. Hope this helps. d scott
Kenmore 596
Our Kenmore 596 has the same issue. The repair man said that the evaporator being only partly frosted means that some of the coolant has leaked out of the system. Says it is an expensive repair that his company does not offer. Our condenser fan has always switched on and off and was actually stuck on a packing peanut. But after unsticking the fan, the freezer still does not get below freezing.
the fan is delayed until that terminator closes. clear coils of any frost/ice. let it run for an hour or so, if the coils don't frost in their entirety you have a R leak..new refrig time. if they do show nice frost pattern all the way around- you have an erratic/out of limit terminator.

Beauden Barrett versus Willie le Roux. What a treat.
The Hurricanes and Cheetahs operated to type in a playful Super 15 romp at a near empty stadium in Wellington.
Barrett, the match winner from No. 10 in this game, and the fabulous le Roux are magicians who don't pull rabbits out of hats as they might on the test stage.
Barrett is so amazing as a test substitute he almost plays himself out of the contest with Aaron Cruden to start.
The freewheeling Cheetahs break the mould of South African rugby. Le Roux obliterates the stereotype of their backs.
It is difficult to recall any South African player with the imagination and playmaking skill of le Roux, the Cheetahs' No. 15.
Ninety years ago, Bennie Osler began a test career that created a rather dour mantra for South African fly halves and the Springboks probably feel their record over the years is impressive enough to avoid the need for a risky revolution.
Le Roux is used as an outside back in tests but - and this isn't an entirely original thought - every time you see him play as he did in this game, the number ten screams out.
There are no guarantees he would have the head for the heights as a test pivot of course.
But le Roux at flyhalf could be revelation and give the Springboks a whole new level of attack. It wouldn't need to stop there - one man can have a wide influence as Osler proved all those years ago.

Update: there are actually 8, didn't include dot holiday.
The general availability phase for seven new gTLDs will start today:
dot cruises
dot flights
dot rentals
dot vacations
dot villas
dot immobilien (this means "real estate" in German)
dot ninja
For all of them aside from dot ninja, there was almost no promotion whatsoever. This is a huge mistake in my opinion because the momentum when it comes to new gTLDs seems to be fading (as illustrated by last week's results) but it's their business at the end of the day and they can choose whichever approach they consider appropriate.

Re: WWE: The Platinum Era
Muchos gracias for the reviews, gentlemen. Very happy to see so much feedback, which was possibly the most I've ever got in the thread. Looking to get things moving, with SmackDown! soon to follow.
February 17th, 2006 | Preview
This week Friday Night SmackDown! comes to you from The Scope in Norfolk, Virginia, and what everyone has been talking about all week long is the ending to last Friday night's huge SmackDown! in which a bombshell was dropped. After months of build-up, finally, on free TV, the rematch between Mark Henry and Batista was set, with Batista's World Heavyweight Title on the line. The impending main event gave the whole show a special feel, and when the time for the match came, the anticipation could not be any higher. Slugging it out, the two behemoths hit each other with everything but the kitchen sink – literally, as Batista would end up getting disqualified as he hit Henry with a steel chair, which despite the force it was swung with, did not floor Henry. Batista, however, did take Henry down following that, forcing security to break up the altercation. Meanwhile, SmackDown! General Manager, Theodore Long made his way out and announced that at No Way Out, the two would fight one final time, and a winner would be guaranteed as it would be a Street Fight. However, at wasn't all, as sticking a regular referee between these man in such conditions was such a risk that Long announced that there would also be a special guest referee ... the 2006 Royal Rumble winner, Randy Orton! What affect will Orton have on proceedings this week, and will he cross paths with the two men who he would be adjudicating for this Sunday?
We do know that Batista and Henry, as well as crossing paths this Sunday, will be doing it on Friday night too, as they and another rivalry developing rivalry get entangled up when Batista & Rey Mysterio take on Mark Henry & Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy has spent the last few weeks telling Rey Mysterio that he's too small and that he will never be a true success in the heavyweight ranks, gaining a fire out of Mysterio the likes of which we have never seen. Last week, after Mr. Kennedy defeated Chris Benoit – who had also disputed Kennedy's claims that size does in fact matter – through shady circumstances thanks to the United States Champion, Booker T and his protégé, Orlando Jordan, Mysterio attacked Kennedy, challenging him to a match at No Way Out. We are yet to hear a response from Kennedy, and one is expected this Friday. Will he except the match with Mysterio, and how will he and 'The World's Strongest Man' fare against the World Heavyweight Champion, Batista & Rey Mysterio this week?
Speaking of Booker T, this week the United States Champion has said that he will publicly address his once friend and now bitter rival Chris Benoit, and his claim to a shot at the United States Title. What will Booker have to say, following his attack, thanks mostly to his protégé Orlando Jordan, last week? And will we hear a response from Chris Benoit?
Two weeks ago we saw John 'Bradshaw' Layfield attack The Undertaker, leaving him in a pool of his own blood for what JBL described as revenge for The undertaker eliminating him from the Royal Rumble match. Last week JBL promised to make a public apology to The Undertaker, which he did, only to again beat Undertaker down, along with Brent Albright and former members of The Cabinet in The Basham Brothers to leave Undertaker again surrounded by both his blood, as well as The Boogeyman. While JBL & Brent Albright will face The Undertaker & The Boogeyman at No Way Out respectively, following Teddy Long sending both of The Basham Brothers to Monday Night RAW, Teddy Long announced that this week The Cabinet will team up to face their opponents for No Way Out. Will The Undertaker & The Boogeyman get the revenge they oh so desperately seek, or will JBL & Brent Albright be able to continue their run of seemingly denying fate?
Last week we saw Cruiserweight Champion Kid Kash again successfully defend his title, defeating Scotty 2 Hotty. Kash, however, wasn't done there, bragging about how he could beat any cruiserweight, only for Juventud to come out and chase Kash off. Juventud and Kash have a lot of unsettled issues following the events of last month in which Kash concussed Juventud to avoid defending his title against him; however, tonight Juventud will make his return in a match against Jamie Noble? Will Juventud be able to overcome 'The Pitbull' in what is sure to be a testing match, and what will happen between him and Kash?
Also last week we saw Finlay assault Bobby Lashley from behind, smashing his knee with his shillelagh. Lashley is said to have some harsh words for Finlay, while the challengers to the WWE Tag Team Titles at No Way Out, Matt Hardy & Shannon Moore are also set to be in action against Super Crazy & Psichosis. For all of this, and more, tune in to 9/8C on The CW Network.

On the surface, the similarities are in the way that casinos and the market operate. It is obvious that in the cases of both the casinos and the market, you "pays your money and you takes your chances." However, the more important similarity is in the mindset of the players.
Gamblers go to the casino hoping for the big win. We all hear about the person who put a quarter in a slot machine and left the casino with a million dollars. We all think that we could just as easily have been the lucky winner; all we had to do was put a quarter in that machine at the right time. On an intellectual level, we know the enormous odds against that huge win, but hope and optimism spring eternal, and so casinos thrive.
Unfortunately, the market is like a casino for too many people. They hear about the guy who bought an unknown stock on a tip from his brother's barber's cousin and watched it turn into the next Microsoft. And like a gambler, they think that they could just as easily have been that lucky winner. So, in the same way a gambler puts a quarter in a slot machine, they buy a stock. And then they check the market every 20 minutes for the next month, just like the gambler watching the wheels turn on a slot machine, waiting for that imminent million-dollar payout. If it doesn't pay off, they pick another stock, just a gambler going to a "hotter" slot machine.
However, the market does not operate exactly like a casino. In a casino, the longer you play, the more you will lose. In the market, the longer you play, the more likely you are to win. There have been people who made a quick killing in the market, just as there have been people who left the casino with a profit -- but they are the exception, not the rule. Money is made in the market by buying quality and holding it over the long run.
So the answer to the question really is a little more than "No! Casinos are gambling and the stock market is investing." That's just Part I of the answer. Part II is: "Realize the difference and don't try to treat the market like gambling."

Cool Idea!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Cool Idea!!
I love this quilt!!! I more than love it-and I have always intended to make one!! Never seen one set on black, but it is gorgeous! My MIL made one and didn't attach it to a back so you can place it on top of any color-I'm seriously hoping it falls into my hands someday!!
That is so pretty and I love your backing fabric.
Margaret, your quilt is just beautiful. One of my favorites is yo-yo's, and I really like that you did something different like not joining the yo-yo-'s. They really pop on that black background. I also like the fabrics you used, are they batiks?
Your quilt is just beautiful. Great idea and love the colors. They really pop on the black.
love it and love the contrast
You did an amazing job! Love the colors of your yo yos! Setting them all on the black really makes them stand out beautifully!
Helen T.
I have such a fasination with yo yo's. I love what you did with your's.
I love batiks and I love yo yo's so I love your quilt.
