Hello again! I'm Angela and I blog over at Cut to Pieces. I am very excited about this baby crib quilt. I had the pleasure of working with Sweetwater's Hometown fabric and I couldn't be more in love with it. There is something about this collection that just begs you to snuggle with it. After making this quilt, I want to make Pajama pants in almost every fabric. 😉
Picket Fences is a crib quilt that is a perfect welcome home gift for the newest little one in your life. You can have fun trying to find your own Hometown among the many, many names on the fabric. I found mine! The canvas backing makes for a durable floor play mat, but this also makes a beautiful wall hanging. Either way, this quilt will be well loved by all.
• 3 Charm Packs of Sweetwater's Hometown
• 1 Jelly Roll of Bella White Solids
• 1/2 yard of fabric for the binding
• 2 yards of Hometown canvas grey dot for the backing
• 2 yards of Hometown canvas town print for the backing
Charm Packs and a Jelly Roll make quick work of piecing this quilt top. The quilt is pieced in vertical columns made up of charms and/or jelly roll strips. Then each vertical row is sewn together to complete the top. A small amount of paper piecing is used to create the tips of the picket fence (but don't worry if you don't do paper piecing! You can use the patterns in the Printer Friendly version as templates).
White Bella Solid:
Select (11) strips from the White Jelly Roll.
Cut (8) strips 22.5″ in length for 2.5″ x 22.5″ pieces. Use the remaining part of the strip for the 8 paper pieced fence tips. There is plenty for this!
Cut (3) strips into (9) sets of (2) 2.5″ x 5″ pieces. You need 18 pieces total and you can get 8 pieces per strip.
Hometown Charm Packs
I chose to remove the solid cream fabrics from the charm packs as I felt that there would not be enough contrast between the cream and the white "fence".
• Select (8) charms to be used with the paper pieced tips. Cut each charm in half to create (2) 2.5″ x 5″ pieces. Keep the two halves together for use on the same fence tip.
• Select between (16) and (32) charms to cut in half to create pieces 2.5″ x 5″. You need (32) half charms all together, but you may or may not want to repeat which ones you have of this size. Thus you can either choose (16) pieces or up to (32) pieces to cut in half.
• Select (8) charms for the "post" rows. Cut each charm in half and then cut (8) of those into 2.75″ x 2.5″ pieces.
• Select (72) charms to be used throughout the background as well.
The first thing you get to do is play with all the pretty fabrics in the charm packs! You will need to lay out your charm squares, half charm squares and perhaps even some of your "fence" pieces to spread out the colors and patterns evenly throughout the background. There are nine "rail" rows (which are 5″ wide) and eight "post" rows (which are only 2.5″ wide).
You can use this picture as a visual for where you are headed.
Each "post" row is only 2.5″ wide and uses half charms, jelly roll strips, and the paper pieced tip. From top to bottom, there are 3 half charms, followed by a "quarter" charm, then the paper pieced tip and the 22.5″ long fence post.
Things can get confusing very quickly, so I find it helpful to label each row. Use whatever system works best for you, but I just grab some generic plain labels and stick them on. (A little tip: don't put the labels where they could get caught in the seam allowance! This way you can keep the labels on while you sew the pieces together and remove them when you need to.)
I start to partially construct my rows by sewing together each very simple rail column. I press all the seams in one direction from the bottom to the top of the row.
Sewing the Fence Tips
Use the templates in the Printer Friendly Version at the bottom of the post and make 8 copies of the fence post tips for paper piecing. This is a very simple little paper pieced pattern. If you are not familiar with paper piecing, you can also use the print out the pattern as a template guide. You can make your own templates simply by cutting out each shape and then add a 1/4″ seam allowance on all sides of pieces 1, 2, and 3. Piece 1 is the fence itself and should the white solid. Pieces 2 and 3 are two halves of a charm as chosen before. And piece 4 is a "quarter" charm (or more accurately 2.75″ x 2.5″).
Use the pattern to sew the white fabric to the paper and surround it on either side with the two matching half charms.
Sew the upper half of the post row to the paper pieced fence tip, connecting the fence tip to the background fabric. Remove the paper.
Here is a view of the upper half of the "post" row from the front.
Sew each upper "post" row to one of the 22.5″ long pieces of the white solid. The rows may look a little odd at first because of the extra fabric on either side of the fence tip. But you want this! That is your seam allowance for when you sew a "post" row to a "rail" row.
Putting your Quilt Top Together
Begin to sew each of your "post" and "rail" vertical rows together in order to create your quilt top. Pin together at each matching seam and as needed to help keep your fabrics together.
Sew row 1 (a rail row) to row 2 (a post row) and press the seam allowance toward row 2. Then sew these two rows to row 3 and so on.
Your quilt top will begin to come together. Soon you will be able to see a fence, piece by piece.
More rows sewn together.
A whole fence, built of rail rows and post rows!
The Backing
The backing of a quilt is always a bit larger than the quilt top to allow for some shifting during the quilting process. This back is no exception.
From the two yard lengths of canvas, cut an 18″ width of the grey polka dot and a 33″ width of the town print.
Using some of the left over fabric from the jelly rolls and a single charm, create a strip to go between the two canvas prints. Cut the charm into fourths and use three of the pieces spread evenly between lengths of white solid. Then sew this pieced strip in between the two canvas prints, creating one backing.
Here you can see the backing in action! That little quarter charm just pops off the back!
Completing the Quilt:
Use your favorite basting method to baste together the backing, batting and quilt top. I chose to use a low loft cotton batting. Then quilt as desired. I echo quilted the fence posts with straight line quilting. Then I used free motion quilting to create a horizontal "wind" effect on the top half of the quilt and a vertical "grass" effect on the bottom half of the quilt.
I bound my quilt using (5) 2 1/2″ wide strips sewn together on the bias end-to-end. I fold that in half all along the length and stitch to the edge of the quilt. Then I flip the folded edge to the back of the quilt and hand sew in place. Just a simple double fold binding method.
One Crib Quilt sized 45″ x 60″.
I hope you like this design! I'd love to see any versions you make of this quilt. You can share them on Flickr in my group Cut To Pieces and of course the Moda Bake Shop group.

With plenty of offense coming from the tandem of Kiana Coomber and Laura Crane, Prairie Central's varsity girls' basketball team handily defeated Pontiac Township High School 45-32 Monday night.
The junior varsity game was another matter, with Prairie Central winning a heated contest that featured double overtime and one player scoring half the team's 50 points.
In the varsity match-up, PTHS took a first-quarter lead, 11 to 9, but then fell behind the rest of the game. Prairie Central was up by only four points at the half, 23 to 19, but extended the lead throughout the third quarter to 32 to 25, before closing it out by adding 13 more points in the final quarter to Pontiac's seven points.
Coomber drained seven baskets and tossed in one free throw for her 15 points, while Crane had four buckets and two free throws.
Gabby Weber added eight points and Emily Shiflett added four for the Hawks.
For the Indians, Kaela Hodges scored 14 points on five baskets and four free throws, while Ashley Harfst added six points, including a three-pointer and one free throw.
Rounding out scoring for PTHS were Kelsey Walsberg with five and Rachael Fearman with four points.
In the JV game, the scores stayed pretty even throughout the entire contest, with PC eventually coming out ahead, 50 to 47.
Linnea Johnson had the hot hand for the Hawks, scoring 25 points in the game.
PTHS led 8 to 6 in the first quarter, but the game was tied 16-all at the half. In the third quarter, PTHS outscored PC 13 to 9, but the Hawks came back and outscored the Indians 14 to 10 to tie the game, 39 all. The Hawks scored 11 points total in the two overtimes, while the Indians put up another eight points.
Three PC players put in seven points apiece, Callie Williams, Hannah Miller and Jeni Leach.
Kenzie Roahrig scored 10 points for Pontiac, while Bailey Sartoris added nine points and Kelly Pagel and Miranda Fitzsimmons each added seven.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's unprecedented bond buying pushed the Fed's balance sheet to a record $3 trillion as he shows no sign of softening his effort to bring down 7.8 percent unemployment.
The Fed is purchasing $85 billion of securities every month, using the full force of its balance sheet to stoke the economic recovery. The central bank began $40 billion in monthly purchases of mortgage-backed securities in September and added $45 billion in Treasury securities to that pace this month.
"We're in uncharted territory," said Julia Coronado, chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas SA in New York, and a former Fed economist. Even as "the easy money will flow through financial markets and into the real economy at some point and lift us to a better growth trajectory," the U.S. faces "a lot of risks," she said.
The Fed's total assets climbed by $48 billion in the past week to $3.01 trillion as of Jan. 23, according to a release from the central bank yesterday in Washington. The announcement came as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index closed at the highest level since December 2007.
Fed policy makers have voiced increasing concern that record-low interest rates are overheating markets for assets from farmland to junk bonds, which could heighten risks when they reverse their unprecedented bond purchases.
Yet with unemployment still high almost three-and-a-half years since the economy began its recovery, Fed officials are expected to affirm their accommodation when they meet in Washington to discuss policy on Jan. 29-30.
'Hard Pressed'
"You're hard pressed to find another example in history where the Fed pulled out all the stops to help a recovery along," said Michael Hanson, senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Corp. in New York, and a former Fed economist. "It's at least as revolutionary as Paul Volcker coming in and saying we're going to hike rates until inflation" declines.
The Fed has a dual mandate from Congress to achieve stable prices and maximum employment. Volcker, Fed chairman from 1979 to 1987, pushed interest rates to as high as 22 percent to rein in annual price acceleration approaching 15 percent. Now Bernanke is focusing Fed policy on the other mandate, aiming to reduce the ranks of the nation's 12.2 million unemployed workers.
Fed officials have said their $85 billion pace of purchases will continue until the labor market improves "substantially." Still, they disagree on how long they should press on with the buying.

HONESDALE — A proposal to change the health insurance policy for Honesdale Borough employees fell short of passing during a special meeting held Thursday night.
Finance committee chairman Scott Smith had proposed changing the plan during Monday night's regular meeting.
HONESDALE — A proposal to change the health insurance policy for Honesdale Borough employees fell short of passing during a special meeting held Thursday night.
Finance committee chairman Scott Smith had proposed changing the plan during Monday night's regular meeting.
Because a decision needed to be made by Friday, the special meeting was held.
Smith said by changing the plan, it could save the taxpayers around $45,000 a year. The plan was to change the current deductible for borough employees.
The current plan has a $150 deductible per person for up to three people. That means the most a family would have to pay is $450 in deductible payments.
Smith proposed changing that deductible to $5,000, however, the proposal also said the borough would pay for any increased costs, whether those are deductibles or co-payments.
That would happen by the borough purchasing a supplemental plan.
But the Honesdale Police Officers Association (HPOA) protested the plan and sent letters to the borough saying it would file a grievance if it was implemented.
"Although we commend Councilman Smith for seeking ways to save the Borough money, making unilateral changes to our health care which the members feel are not authorized and against what has been bargained for in past contracts, or awarded through previous arbitration, will not result in any cost savings for the Borough, but rather a costly legal battle," said the letter from the HPOA. "Should the Council continue with the adoption of the proposal, this HOPA will have no choice but to pursue legal action against Council to stop this change and reverse the changes to the benefits package to level that were previously negotiated for in good faith and/or awarded through previous arbitration."
There was also a letter sent to the borough council from the law firm of Lightman, Welby, Stoltenberg & Caputo of Harrisburg which said legal action would be taken if the council voted to change the plan.
"While the Association is willing to bargain with the Borough to achieve mutually agreeable healthcare savings, it will not tolerate unilateral action, which seems to be proposed," said the letter. "Your careful consideration of the forgoing is requested prior to taking any unilateral action that will place the parties in litigation."
An email was also sent to the borough from attorney Thomas W. Jennings of the law firm Jennings Sigmond, P.C. of Philadelphia.
"Any effort to attempt a unilateral modification will be met with prompt legal action that will not only unnecessarily cost both parties to expend financial resources, but, more importantly, expose the Borough to what could be very significant economic damages arising for the breach of the agreement," said a portion of that email.
During discussion by borough council, Smith said he felt the action would not violate the agreement.
A clause in the collective bargaining agreement reads, "The Borough shall have the authority to switch health plans or providers, so long as the resulting benefits are substantially similar to the pre-existing Blue Care PPO 150 plan."
"It is still a Blue Cross policy and it is still a PPO," said Smith.
Smith said the proposal would "reduce everyone's deductibles" because the borough would be setting up a fund to cover those costs. That would still save money for the taxpayers, he said.
"I believe ... we have an alternative plan allowable under the contract," said Smith.
Smith said the "resulting benefits" of the proposed change are "substantially similar."
"What are the chances of a lawsuit against the borough?" councilwoman Juanita Pisano asked Smith.
He said the letter from the HPOA "says they will file a grievance."
Councilman Harry DeVrieze said he believes that to change a contract, "both sides have to agree."
DeVrieze worried that making the change "could end up costing the borough most of the savings because of potential litigation."
Concluded DeVrieze: "I think they are going to challenge us."
"That is a risk we have to look at," said Smith.
With that, Smith made a motion to change the health care plan. It was seconded by councilman Mike Slish.
When the vote was taken, the motion failed 4-3.
Voting for the motion were Smith, Slish and council president F.J. Monaghan. Voting not to change the plan were Pisano, DeVrieze, Bob Jennings and Jim Brennan.
DeVrieze did encourage the council to use the health insurance coverage as part of the negotiations for the next contract. Those negotiations will likely start soon as the contract expires at the end of this year.
"We should use this as a bargaining chip to get them to pay more of their health care costs," said DeVrieze.
Brennan commended Smith "for all the work you have done" in trying to save money for borough taxpayers. But, he also said this matter should be part of the negotiations process.
Other business:
In another matter, the council voted 7-0 to appoint Rich Henry as the borough solicitor. He was appointed for one year.
Also, the council voted 7-0 to appoint John Seijk to the Civil Service Commission. The appointment is retroactive to Jan. 1 and is for a six-year term ending in December, 2018.

The storm that triggered avalanches, power outages and traffic accidents Sunday and Monday in Southwest Colorado is expected to blow out of the region today.
Area weather watchers said the storms wet, heavy snow slush was a common description didnt leave a big pile of snow as much as produce a good amount of liquid.
Briggen Wrinkle reported 0.31 inches of precipitation Saturday, 1.01 on Sunday and 0.62 inches Monday a total of 1.94 inches in Durango.
Pam Snyder in Hesperus said the multi-day storm left 1.79 inches of water in her gauge; Bill Butler in Rafter J recorded 1.98 inches of precipitation, and Maureen Keilty, also in Rafter J, had 2.02 inches. Sandy Young recorded 1.91 inches of liquid on Florida Mesa about five miles south of Farmington Hill.
A winter storm warning, which means snow and strong wind, was in effect until 9 p.m. Monday. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches of new snow was possible Monday night before the bluster gives way to sunshine and clouds that will share the skies through Sunday, according to the forecast of the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.
Temperatures are expected to warm slightly.
But the latest storm, characterized by water-laden snow, was not gentle.
The Colorado Department of Transportation closed U.S. Highway 550 north of Coal Bank Pass at Lime Creek Monday morning to clear several natural slides. Crews triggered several other slides as a precaution.
Gates on Highway 550 at Cascade and Silverton were closed at 9:30 a.m. and were open by Monday evening.
The natural slides at Lime Creek that reached the highway reached 300 to 400 feet in length and were 10 feet deep, CDOT spokeswoman Nancy Shanks said.
Avalanche control also was done on Molas, Lizard Head and Wolf Creek passes, she said.
Highway 550 will be closed at 8 a.m. this morning at Red Mountain Pass. Shanks didnt know how long the closure would last.
The slide, at Lime Creek, didnt prevent skiers and snowboarders from reaching Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort.
There were no slides on Red Mountain, Molas or Wolf Creek passes, but avalanche control work was done as a preventive measure.
The wet snow downed power lines, keeping La Plata Electric Association crews hopping Monday for the second consecutive day.
At one time Monday morning, 23 small outages were affecting 225 customers, the majority in Vallecito and Bayfield neighborhoods, said LPEA spokeswoman Indiana Reed.
The same areas also were the hardest hit Sunday, Reed said. In one 24-hour period, nearly 900 customers in the Bayfield-Vallecito area were in the dark.
Cellular and radio towers in Durango Hills were knocked out Sunday and got power back at 2 p.m. Monday. Crews were at the site for 26 hours, Reed said.
Among the customers: the U.S. Forest Service, Quest and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association.
The weather service expects high temperatures in the region will range from 32 to 39 degrees from today into Sunday. Lows from 4 to 9 degrees are expected.
Travelers can dial 511 or visit cotrip.org to check road and weather conditions.

listening to the north wind saying, "everything will be alright"
There was a moment standing in the hot summer sun on the beach in my 20s that I had my most meaningful discussion with God. I explained in that moment that I still needed my mother. The word, "cancer," had been whispered before her hysterectomy. She was having that surgery at home while I was Up North. "I have to finish college and I need her," I explained. I wasn't bargaining. I didn't pretend I would behave differently. It was less of a request and more me outlining facts.
Today my mother had knee replacement surgery. The occasion made me think again of my discussion on the beach. I wasn't worried. I knew she'd be fine as well as I knew that the sun would rise tomorrow. I spoke with her briefly on the phone and she told me not to visit her hospital room. It was snowing; she repeated my father's cautions about the roads. Something wasn't quite right with her voice and I thought, tonight she needs me.
"Listen to the wind blowing," I tell my daughter. "You can hear it say, 'Everything will be alright.'" I tell my daughter that so she will find comfort in the coming storm, the way I find comfort in the pounding waves. Watching the waves crash on the shore has always reminded me that my little troubles aren't strong enough to change the really enduring things of our world. The wind will always be there for my daughter, even when I'm not.
I went to my mother's room in spite of the snow. This is Northern Michigan after all and we can't let the day's weather order our lives. It was another occasion when the cadence of my mother's voice reminded me of my grandmother. And the strain of anticipating a post operative struggle had exhausted her. This surgery went much better than a previous hip replacement surgery. We joked about her skiing with my daughter and I over the weekend. And with a tough recovery still in front of her, I could see that my mom was glad to have me there.
I look forward to all three of us walking together now that mom's knee is no longer bent with wear. I might even remind God that my daughter still needs my mother. And I'll listen to the wind, saying, "Everything will be alright."

Either Young Phinney (aka "His Twitterness..."), whose father was said by Eddie Borysewicz to possess strong legs but also weak eyes, has bought into the Lance Armstrong-school of strategic communications, or he's simply ignorant of his pseudo-teammate's doping past, and will soon explain to us why he is not tweeting "Doper!" about Vino' AND Levi. After all, Taylor himself says, "Did I say anything bad about Astana? I don't care who anyone rides for...I just don't like cheaters."
"A USA Cycling disciplinary panel recommended that Levi Leipheimer receive a three-month suspension as a result of a violation of Bylaw N., Section 2, Part 4, Prohibited Practices, stemming from competition at the USCF Amateur Men's Criterium Championship, Aug. 18 in Grandview Heights, Ohio. That recommendation has been upheld by Lisa Voight, USA Cycling executive director. The 23-year- old Leipheimer will be required to return his national championship jersey, medal and prize money. He will also be suspended from the U.S. National Team for the same period. The decision is subject to appeal."

"Salt Lake resident Levi Leipheimer, who rides for Team Einstein, won the Frigidaire National Criterium Championship, Aug. 18 near Columbus, Ohio. ``I got away very early and my [Einstein] teammates were back in the group. With eight laps to go, six riders joined our group of five. One rider lapped the field, then I attacked. My teammates got me through the race pack and then I beat Matt Johnson [of Seattle] in the sprint,''said Leipheimer, 22, the son of Butte, Mont.,..."

And who was Matt Johnson? The 1992 US Junior National Champion, that's who! Check out his profile at the CyclingArchives.com, here!
UPDATE(2): May 21, 2010 - Though it hardly seems like the number one issue we're facing in cycling today, I'd be remiss if I didn't share with you all the fact that USA Cycling did not wish to officially confirm the original sanction against Leipheimer, let alone provide any details. They were both polite and practical in their deflection of my request, suggesting I get the records from Levi himself (or at least obtain a release from him), but disingenuous nonetheless. At the same time, with hindsight it's apparent that they were taking no chances of exposing themselves to any potential liability, or adding one more branch to the firestorm of scandal that was about to explode onto page one of sports sections across the world with Floyd's emails. As far as I'm concerned, the myth suggested by some that Levi didn't really test positive because there were no Internet archives from 1996 that reported the fact is fully busted. Even the emails from USA Cycling acknowledge the existence of records that would need to be searched for in their archive...

So, I'm wondering if in the ol'timers opinion if Wilson's out playing other young QB's who started with Hawks? Not necessarily rookie years, just young QB's who cracked the NFL in Seattle.
All I can say is he's surpassed; Hass's debuts as a Hawk. And, RW's probably about one more completion from being better than Mirer in his rookie year.
I'm too young to know if Wilsons playing better than Zorn or Krieg did in their first years? I know Radish, Absolute, and Lymon can speak to those guys.
Not really stats, but eyeball test.

Boot your FreeRunner in dfu mode and use the dfu commands:

desktop# dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a kernel -R -D testing-om-gta02-20090120.uImage.bin
Revision as of 14:14, 28 March 2009
Note: Qt Extended 4.4.3 is the last version of Qt Extended. Trolltech cancelled the project on 3 March 2009 (Qt Software discontinues Qt Extended).
The community created a fork of Qt Extended called Qt Extended Improved.
Installing Qt Extended 4.4.3 on the FreeRunner
Download the kernel and rootfs
Next download the kernel and rootfs to your workstation. Here's a link to the rootfs created by HouYu Li and the kernel image. Boot your FreeRunner in dfu mode and use the dfu commands:
desktop# dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a kernel -R -D testing-om-gta02-20090120.uImage.bin ... stuff ... desktop# dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a rootfs -R -D qt-extended-4.4.3-rootfs.jffs2 ... more stuff ...
This kernel/rootfs fixes the WSOD problem and includes the echo patch but doesn't seem to support ogg or mp3 playback.
Building the Qt Extended 4.4.3 SDK
First make the build directory, download the source, and set the environment variables. In this example, I write the environment variables to a file then I source the file.
mkdir -p /opt/QtExtended/build/ cd /opt/QtExtended wget http://qtextended.org/downloads/release/qt-extended-opensource-src-4.4.3.tar.gz tar -xzvf qt-extended-opensource-src-4.4.3.tar.gz echo "export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/QtExtended/qt-extended-4.4.3" >> setpaths-4.4.3 echo "export QPEDIR=/opt/QtExtended/build/" >> setpaths-4.4.3 . setpaths-4.4.3
Install the toolchain:
cd /opt wget http://qtextended.org/downloads/toolchains/arm920t-eabi.tgz tar xzvf arm920t-eabi.tgz /
Change to the source directory, download and apply three patches.
cd $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH wget http://moko.mwester.net/download/pkg-config-template.patch wget http://www.csamuel.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/0001-added-echo-suppression-fixes-for-the-openmoko-neo-ph.patch wget http://radagast.bglug.ca/openmoko/qt-extended-4.4.3-libmad.tar.gz tar xzf qt-extended-4.4.3-libmad.tar.gz patch -p1 < qt-extended-4.4.3-libmad.patch patch -p1 < pkg-config-template.patch patch -p1 < 0001-added-echo-suppression-fixes-for-the-openmoko-neo-ph.patch
Do the linux three-step: configure, make, make install. But there are a couple new twists. First, there is a bug in the source which requires us to create a symlink sdk in the sdk directory (basically, someone made a typo and incorrectly entered sdk twice in an include path).
cd $QPEDIR $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/configure -device neo -D _FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 make cd sdk ln -s . sdk cd .. make install bin/qbuild sdk
Fix the paths:
mkdir -p /opt/Qtopia/SDK/4.4.3 ln -s /opt/QtExtended/build/scripts/sdk/scripts/ /opt/Qtopia/SDK/scripts mv /opt/Qtopia/SDK/scripts/devel- /opt/Qtopia/SDK/scripts/devel-neo.sh echo "Device: neo" > /opt/Qtopia/SDK/versioninfo ln -s /opt/QtExtended/build/opt/Qtopia/SDK/4.4.3/neo ln -s /opt/QtExtended/build/sdk/ /opt/QtExtended/build/sdk/sdk cp $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/bin/mkPackages /opt/Qtopia/SDK/scripts/
If you want to have the sdk working: add the following code in front of /opt/Qtopia/SDK/scripts/functions
#!/bin/bash version() { echo "4.4.3" } qt_version() { echo "4.5" } #!/bin/sh
open /opt/Qtopia/SDK/scripts/sdk change the following:to have sdk -i and -r working again
at line 253: '= "1"' to '> "0"' at line 233: 'ENVFILE=`cat /opt/Qtopia/SDK/$QPEVER/$DEVICE/configs/current.pri | grep QTOPIA_PREFIX= | awk 'BEGIN{FS="="}{print $2}'`"/qpe.env"' to 'ENVFILE="/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/qpe.env"' at line 259, 263 & 281: '/opt/Qtopia/qpe.env' to '/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/qpe.env'

It's the rubber game between Mount St. Mary's and Bryant.
It's the rubber game between Mount St. Mary's and Bryant.
The Mountaineers and Bulldogs, which split two games during the regular season, will square off in a loser-goes-home scenario at 7 p.m. today in the quarterfinals of the NEC Men's Basketball Tournament at Chace Athletic Center in Smithfield, R.I.
The Mount (16-13, 11-7 NEC), playing under the leadership of first-year head coach Jamion Christian — who played his college basketball at Mount St. Mary's from 2001-2004 and was a three-year captain of the team — is the fifth seed in the conference tournament. The lowest remaining seed will play at the highest remaining seed in the semifinals on March 9. Top seed Robert Morris hosts St. Francis Brooklyn, No. 2 Wagner hosts Central Connecticut State and No. 3 LIU Brooklyn hosts Quinnipiac.
Bryant (19-10, 12-6 NEC) beat Mount St. Mary's, 79-78, in overtime on Jan. 17. The Mount handed the Bulldogs an 84-70 loss on Feb. 14 at Knott Arena in Emmitsburg to knock Bryant out of first place in the conference.
In the Mountaineers' win, junior guard Sam Prescott ignited the Mount with a career-high 44 points, including 10 of 14 three-point field goals. It was the most points by a Mount player since the school moved to NCAA Division I in 1988-89.
Mount St. Mary's has inched forward week by week after starting off 2-6 in the conference. Since then, the Mountaineers have won eight of nine games, including wins in the final seven games. The Mount ended the regular season with a 103-82 win at Fairleigh Dickinson on Saturday, March 2, marking the first time since the Mount reached triple digits since a 103-86 victory over LIU Brooklyn on Jan. 14, 1995.
Junior point guard Julian Norfleet became the 44th player in Mount history to reach 1,000 career points with his 15-point effort against FDU. Norfleet is now 43rd all-time at Mount St. Mary's with 1,007 points in 90 career games.
Freshman guard Shivaughn Wiggins paced the Mount with a career-high 28 points against FDU, hitting 13-of-15 at the foul line.
Wiggins, who was named the NEC's Rookie of the Year on Tuesday, is averaging 9.6 points, 2.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game for the Mount this year, shooting 48.6 percent from the field and 47.7 percent from three-point range.
The Mount is 10-4 since Wiggins was inserted into the starting lineup.
The Mountaineers improved by five wins in NEC play and secured the program's highest seed since 2010. The Mount missed the tournament last season. Bryant has turned its fortunes around drastically after finishing 2-28 a year ago. The Bulldogs have posted a 17-win improvement. It comes in Bryant's first year of NEC and NCAA postseason eligibility following a five-year reclassification process.

When Laura Kuenssberg took over from Robinson, the meme of the "Tory BBC" took hold and filtered into Corbynism. Kuenssberg became a lightning rod for the new left's dissatisfactions, the target of a
MUK LUKS Ophelia Sport Sandal Womens Cheap Official Official Cheap Online qYbCtBX6
demanding that she be sacked and for routine, vitriolic accusations of bias towards the government. Instances that did not fit the narrative, including Kuenssberg's frequent harsh questioning of Theresa May, were dismissed. For Conservatives used to their own adversarial relationship with the BBC, this was an unusual development.
"The current Labour leadership is used to being a backbench rebel movement, a protest movement," say Mark Wallace, editor of ConservativeHome . "The scrutiny you face when pitching to run the country is of a different order and that's proving uncomfortable for them. I think there's a knowing element to the endless personal pursuit of Laura Kuenssberg as well. If you bombard someone for long enough, they might never actually surrender to you, but it may have a chilling effect on what questions they ask."
Wallace doesn't know a single Conservative MP or minister who feels they get an easy ride from Kuenssberg. "Politicians understand that they operate in a risky environment. They know that journalists can enhance their careers by asking tough questions and catching politicians out. That's how it should be."
In parallel with Corbynism, the EU referendum campaign and its aftermath had their own corrosive effect on trust in the media. In the press, the line between campaigning and reporting dissolved as rightwing titles threw themselves wholeheartedly behind Leave. TV coverage became a battleground. Leave campaigners claimed to have identified consistent pro-EU bias from the BBC. Remainers detected dangerous instances of false balance, most notoriously when a poll found that 88% of UK economists were against Brexit, only for their views to be set repeatedly against those of a single economist,
ara Fierro 46956 LaceUp Womens 2018 Sale Online 3Jg0om9UDl
, who said that Brexit would not damage trade and the UK economy. This and other coverage distorted the vote, say Remainers, by creating a misleading impression that experts were split on the issue.
"Economic and political truth isn't discovered by a straw poll," argues Wallace, a Leave supporter. "If one person's right and everyone else is wrong, that single person is still right. I actually think the BBC made great efforts to be balanced during the referendum. The Ukip surge and the feedback they got showed that Euroscepticism was more popular than they'd thought."
When the BBC says that it is criticised from both sides and so it must be doing something right, Wallace thinks it has a point. "There's also the more reasoned critique, which is the unconscious bias that comes when you recruit people who look and sound like you and were educated in similar places to you," he says. "The traditional flaws we see in the BBC might not come from intentional bias but an assumption that they are the sensible centre-ground, so how could anyone possibly disagree with them?"

a clear guide of how to figure out whether you need more money withheld from your paycheck.
An exemption from withholding prevents your employer from withholding any federal income tax from your paycheck. Chances are, if you're exempt from withholding, you'll know because you will have received a complete refund for the amount withheld on your taxes last year.

a complete explanation of tax liability, if you're still unsure.
If none of the criteria listed under line H from the personal allowances worksheet apply to you, all you have to do to complete the form is is sign and date it. However, if you want to itemize your deductions, are single with multiple jobs, or have a spouse who works, continue to the second page of the form.
Note that you should only fill out this section of the form if directed here by the criteria under line H on page 1.
Deductions are amounts taken out of your taxes to reduce your taxable income. The exact amount of standard deductions — blanket sums for people without particularly complicated tax situations — differ from year to year and depend on your filing status. The amounts for 2014 are listed in step 2 of the deductions and adjustments worksheet of the W-4.
The IRS presents some cases in which you aren't allowed to take the standard deduction, and instead must itemize, or list out your individual deductions line by line. Some people prefer to itemize their deductions, if doing so means they'll end up with less taxable income.
Calculating your specific itemized deductions doesn't happen on your W-4 — you do it on your primary tax filing document, form 1040. Figuring this out takes some legwork, and you'll need actual proof of your expenses in case the IRS asks for it. If you plan to itemize, you might be particularly well-served by working with an accountant.
On the W-4, however, begin by estimating the amount of your itemized deductions for 2014 and entering it on line 1. The amount of itemized deductions is limited, depending on your income.

as an adjustment to income. Then, follow the section's directions, line by line.
If you're not either single with two jobs, or married to a spouse who has a job, you're done. However, if you fit any of the criteria just mentioned, move on to the last part of the form, the two-earners/multiple jobs worksheet.
Again, note that you should only fill out this section of the form if directed here by the criteria under line H on page 1.
For the two earners/multiple jobs worksheet, refer to the instructions and two tables provided. If you read through the instructions completely, filling out this part of the form should be relatively straightforward.

Earlier this week we saw the release of the highly anticipated Instagram client for Windows Phone called 6tag. Developed by Rudy Huyn in just a few weeks' time, the app has skyrocketed to the top of the Windows Phone Store. While the app is not official or endorsed by Instagram, the company signed off on the name as not conflicting with their brand, in addition to looking the other way on the usage of their API.
Now, version 220.127.116.11 has landed in the Store and while it doesn't bring any new features per se, it does address some security concerns that were raised in an alarmist article. Plus, we can share with you a new trick that will allow you to open 6tag from Internet Explorer 10.
So what are those changes?
6tag version 184.108.40.206
- Encoding using HTTPS
- Videos removed from servers after publication
- General bug fixes
- Privacy Policy
Now some of those aren't in the app itself but are rather how data is handled. For example, previously uploaded videos to Instagram were first transcoded on Huyn's servers, then processed back for posting to Instagram. At the time, those video (unmarked with no ID), were held on the server for 48 hours before being automatically deleted. Now, those videos are deleted as soon as you publish (and 48 hours if you don't).
The HTTPS refers to how cookies are used. On Instagram, their API calls for certain functions to use cookies, or little bits of device ID information, to process certain requests. Those cookies are sent via HTTP to Instagram and that's how 6tag handled them as well. Now, in version 220.127.116.11 they are encrypted using HTTPS. It's a minor detail that basically means 6tag is now more secure for information transmission (an oauth token was sent so there was some risk there).
Finally, under the About section there is now a link to the 6tag privacy policy.
Exclusive - Open 6tag from Instagram's website
Windows Phone Central is proud to exclusively announce a new feature that Huyn has developed to make 6tag even better. By following this trick when you are browsing in Internet Explorer 10 (on Windows Phone), you will be able to open Instagram links with 6tag.
To enable this function, simply open the following site on your Windows Phone and follow the directions: http://huynapps.com/openwith6tag/
The process will only take a moment and while not mind blowing, it will certainly add a unique ability to the Instagram experience on Windows Phone.
Pick up 6tag version 184.108.40.206 here in the Windows Phone Store. Windows Phone 8 only.

WILMINGTON TWP, Mercer County — A Butler man was unharmed Friday evening when another man fired gunshots in his direction.
According to state police, Daniel J. Reich, 42, of Butler was milling lumber on a property on Brenneman Road about 6:10 p.m. when Paul F. Baer, 61, of Volant allegedly fired two rounds from a .22-caliber, semi-automatic pistol near Reich's vehicle.
When Reich attempted to confront Baer, Baer fired shots at Reich. Then when Reich asked Baer to empty the pistol so they could discuss the problem, Baer fired the gun's final three rounds into the ground and walked away, according to police.
Baer was arrested without incident and was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, disorderly conduct and harassment.

In July 1953, the Japanese transportation conglomerate, Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI) established Subaru as its automobile manufacturing division. Prior to this, it was involved in aircraft design and manufacturing, particularly during World War II. The corporation went through several changes, including being split into 12 smaller companies, then reformed when four companies plus two other companies merged together. The CEO of the newly created FHI decided that he wanted the company to be a part of the automobile market; as a result, Subaru was created.
Subaru Through The Years
Subaru is the Japanese word for the Pleiades star cluster and was meaningful to the CEO. The logo is also based on this star cluster as well as the fact that FHI was created to the merge six different companies.
In 1968, the Japanese government ordered the merger of many of its automobile manufacturers to improve competitiveness. This led to Nissan purchasing 20 percent of FHI. However, when Nissan was acquired by Renault in 1999, it sold its stake to General Motors. In October 2005, Toyota bought almost 9 percent of the shares owned by General Motors, which ultimately lead the company to no longer be affiliated with the FHI since it sold the remaining 11 percent on the open market.
Subaru in America
Subaru entered the market in the U.S. in 1968 with Subaru of America, which was established in Philadelphia. The Subaru 360 was the first model to be exported to the U.S. since it was before Subaru of America began to produce its own vehicles. But according to an automobile magazine, it wasn't acceptable due to safety concerns and a lack of engine power. However, since the Subaru 360 was very light in weight at less than a thousand pounds, it was exempt from normal safety standards testing at the time. After this report was released, Subaru sales collapsed in the U.S. The Subaru 360 was replaced by the more advanced, but short-lived R-2 model.
Subaru Models
In 1954, the first American-made Subaru hit the road and was called the Subaru 1500. There were only 20 of this model ever made due to supply issues at the Japanese plant. From its start with the Subaru 1500 in 1954 through today, the company has gone on to manufacture dozens of different Subaru models, which are marketed around the world.
In 1971, Subaru began production of the Subaru Leone, which was a compact car. For many years this was the only Subaru model available internationally since smaller models created by Subaru were not considered road-worthy. In North America, the name Leone wasn't used; instead, each version of this vehicle was named for its trim level: DL, GL and GSR. Subaru discontinued it in 1994, which proved to be the predecessor for the Impreza.
Subaru Products and Technologies
In 1989, Subaru introduced the Legacy, a midsize sedan or wagon. It was developed specifically to compete with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in the North American midsize car market. In 1995, the Outback trim model was created on the wagon version of the Legacy, which in 2000 became its own unique model. Currently, the fifth generation of the Legacy and the fourth generation of the Outback are on the market.
The Impreza was introduced in 1993. Initially, it could be purchased as a two-door coupe, four-door sedan or five-door wagon in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive versions. A turbo-charged version was also available in the markets except for North America, due to the fact that Subaru was never affiliated with performance. In fact, Subaru changed focus entirely to emphasize all-wheel drive in North America. As of 1997, all-wheel drive was standard on Impreza and Legacy models. The current model of the Impreza is the third generation, which is available in all-drive as a four-door coupe or a five-door hatchback, or crossover utility vehicle.
In 1997, Subaru launched the Forester, a crossover SUV that comes in front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Forester is currently in its third generation, which was launched in 2008. It comes in with a four-speed automatic transmission or a five- or six-speed manual transmis+F70sion, with the 6-speed featured as a diesel-fuelled engine. There are also several different trim levels for this vehicle.
The midsize crossover SUV called the Tribeca was launched in 2005. It comes in 5- and 7-seat configurations, and is the only vehicle in its class in North America that has all-wheel drive as standard equipment. The latest vehicle from Subaru is the Exiga, but it is not going to be sold in the U.S. due to its similarities to the Tribeca.

There's something delicious about tasting a wine right where it was produced. After all, a glass of wine is more than just a pleasantly intoxicating beverage: It is the essence of the land, the climate, the people and traditions of an area, all captured in a glass. That's especially true in Canada, where so many of our wines never leave the province, or the region, where they are produced. Which of the country's five major wine regions should you visit first? Here's a handy guide to help you decide.
This wide valley in British Columbia's interior features hot, dry days and cool nights, Canada's only desert in the south, and ski hills further north. Throughout the region --it's about a four-and-a-half-hour drive from Vancouver to the area's main centre, Kelowna-- you'll find perfect growing conditions for everything from cool-climate whites to big, bold, warm-climate reds, which is why most of B.C.'s more than 160 wineries are located here.
Sip Your first stop should be Mission Hill Family Estate Winery, a spectacular facility built atop a hill in West Kelowna. Also in Kelowna, visit Tantalus, Quail's Gate, Cedar Creek and Summerhill. After that, head south to the Naramata Bench and Hillside Estate, then to the Golden Mile area and Burrowing Owl and Tinhorn Creek.
See You can rent a houseboat, paddle a canoe or go swimming in Okanagan Lake; you can also go hiking or biking or chill out with some "cryotherapy" in the -110 C cold sauna at Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon.
Savour Many of the wineries now have stellar restaurants, including Mission Hill and Quail's Gate. Also well worth visiting are the Kelowna eateries Cabana Grille, RauDZ and Wild Apple, which are creating a uniquely regional wine country cuisine.
It's been nicknamed "the Provence of Canada," though when it comes to wine, the Cowichan is better suited to cool-climate whites like Pinot Gris and Ortega, as well as fresh, fragrant Pinot Noir. The Cowichan is about a 45-minute drive north of Victoria on Vancouver Island, an idyllic little food-and-wine-obsessed area of forests, gardens, fields and vineyards. It is not a huge wine region, but a promising one.
Sip Start with Andy Johnston's beautiful hilltop winery, Averill Creek, then meander along country roads, visiting Blue Grouse, Zanatta, Venturi-Schulze and Merridale Cidery.
See The village of Cowichan Bay is the first designated "slow community" in North America, which means it has great artisanal food shops and restaurants. But it's also a working marina, so visitors can head out on a sailboat, zodiac or kayak. Or they can stay on land and go hiking, horseback riding or try their hand at falconry.
Savour It's all about local fare at restaurants such as Amuse in Shawnigan Lake, Cherry Point Vineyards or Merridale Cidery. A great meal would be a picnic of fresh local foods: Fairburn Farm's buffalo mozzarella, a loaf from True Grain Bread, salad with Venturi-Schulze balsamic vinegar, and, of course, a bottle of Cowichan wine.
The Niagara Peninsula is just two hours from the country's biggest metropolis, Toronto, but it's a whole different world out here. Expect charming inns, bucolic vistas, historic towns and, just a bit further down the road, the cheesy fun of Niagara Falls. The wine region is divided between the low-lying lands around historic Niagara-on-the-Lake and the higher area of the Niagara Escarpment. Both are known for flavourful wines produced by the hot summers and stony soil, especially Canada's famous icewine.
Sip Some of Canada's biggest wineries--Inniskillin, Peller Estates and Jackson-Triggs --are located near Niagara-on-the-Lake, along with other terrific wineries such as Hillebrand and Pillitteri Estates. Up on the escarpment, near the village of Jordan, you'll find Cave Spring Cellars, Magnotta and Vineland Estates, among others.
See Niagara-on-the-Lake was the first capital of Upper Canada and is packed with historic forts, monuments, museums and mansions. Visitors can also play golf, cycle and check out the boutiques and galleries. The town is also home to the annual Shaw Festival, one of the best theatrical festivals in the world.
Savour The best restaurants in the region can be found at the local wineries. A few worth visiting include Inn on the Twenty at Cave Spring Cellars, Peller Estates Winery Restaurant and Terroir La Cachette Restaurant &Wine Bar at Strewn Winery.
One of the coolest areas in the world to produce wine, and we don't just mean the climate, is Nova Scotia. It has three distinct regions--the Annapolis Valley, Malagash Peninsula and LaHave River Valley--only a couple hours' drive from Halifax. It is a young wine region, yet its history of wine production dates back to the 1600s. Best known for cool-climate whites, including a unique varietal called l'Acadie Blanc, early reports suggest that its sparkling wines will one day be able to compete with Champagne.
Sip Visit Benjamin Bridge Vineyards to get a taste of the future of sparkling wine, as FrancoFolies de Montreal well as Domaine De Grand Pre, Gaspereau and Jost Vineyards.
See Explore coastal trails along the Bay of Fundy, visit historic Acadian churches, go fishing or check out the many lighthouses along the shoreline. And don't miss the deliciously food-focused fests like Digby Scallop Days or the Annual Bear River Cherry Carnival.
Savour Le Caveau at Domaine De Grand Pre serves gourmet food that pairs beautifully with the crisp local wines. The Port gastro-pub offers terrific casual fare in Port Williams while The Tempest in Wolfville has some of Canada's best regional cuisine.
Ontario's newest wine region has grown from a single vineyard in 2000 to more than a dozen today, with several more in the works. Located in the southeastern part of the province, it's a 90-minute drive from Toronto, or four-and-a-half hours from Montreal. The weather is cooler here, so the wineries produce cooler-climate wines. The heritage homes in the area's villages still reflect their Loyalist past, but it is also a forward-looking, eco-friendly region with lots to explore.
Sip Check out Closson Chase, Chadsey's Cairns,
Grange of Prince Edward and, for something a little different, County Cider Company Estate and Winery and Barley Days Brewery.
See Once you've explored the wineries, seek out local food shops such as Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Co., historic villages and gift boutiques, and head to Sandbanks Provincial Park, where you can frolic in the dunes and go swimming, sailing and windsurfing.
Savour Elegant eateries such as Harvest, Claramount Inn & Spa and Amelia's Garden at Waring House serve up exquisitely prepared, locally grown fare. But if there is one indulgence you just can't miss, it's the gourmet hotdogs at Buddha Dog.

Butler County commissioners Bill McCarrier and Dale Pinkerton this morning berated fellow Commissioner Jim Eckstein for his ongoing behavior, damaging the county financially and creating dysfunction in government.
Pinkerton said during the commissioners meeting Eckstein continues to lie about what's happening in county government, which costs time and money to refute.
Pinkerton said Eckstein's actions also have resulted in multiple legal issues at the taxpayers' expense.
The county previously settled one sexual discrimination complaint against Eckstein. He faces a second one that is currently under investigation by a Pittsburgh firm.
Pinkerton said Eckstein is not kept in the dark about county business; it's a lack of understanding of how government works.
Pinkerton said Eckstein has given the county a bad reputation statewide.
McCarrier also chided Eckstein, accusing him of slandering others.
Eckstein reiterated he's done what he was elected to do.
He blamed Pinkerton and McCarrier for spending more money than they had to in addressing such issues as the discrimination complaints.

Thanks fellas.
Bogey, tough call there because it's difficult to anticipate how Boykin will perform. Iowa State's defense is really solid and well-coached with two stud linebackers. Offense is a mess because of the QB issues. Number looks pretty tight overall. Good luck if you do play it.
