The smaller flag on the bottom was the flag carried in the Bear Flag Revolt in Sonoma in June, 1846. A group of guys showed up at General Vallejo's barracks with this flag, and declared California independent from Mexico. Vallejo liked the idea himself and joined them! CA was annexed by the US shortly thereafter.

This past year, I've begun travelling a lot more for work-related reasons, and whenever co-workers would attempt to check in via the web, I'd always get an error message stating that I would need to check in physically at the airport.
I wrote this off as another case of the airlines not knowing their assholes from their faces, and would sit in the check-in line with people incapable of using the Internet while my travelmates would immediately go through to security.
Yesterday, however, a CSR with Alaska handed me this.
I read through it and realized that I had been flagged. I later met up with my travelmates and joked that I was a trrrst.
After calling the number on the paper, and listening to the manditory recordings, the recording instructed me to go to the TSA website and download a Passenger Identification Verification form.

I wouldn't have had a problem with submitting a quick form detailing my information, but this is fucking retarded.
I have to submit notarized copies of at least three of the following documents via the mail?
Passport
Visa
Birth Certificate
Naturalization Certificate
Voter Registration Card
Driver's License
Goverment Identity Card
Military Identity Card
How does this make things any safer?
Can I just give them a blood sample and allow them to install a camera in my house and get it over with?
Anyways, if you're having trouble checking onto flights via the web, hopefully, this'll help out.
The flags for this bunting were easy to cut out with a wavy edge using CraftGeek Trim It 9 blade trimmer.
Fargo, N.D., area veterans organizations, emergency services personnel, police and firefighters position themselves around the Patriot Flag as fold it for transportation July 27 upon completion of a ceremony in honor of the United States Armed Forces, first responders, second responders, 9/11 families and victims of the 2001 terrorist attacks, at Jack Williams Stadium in Fargo. The ceremony features the touring Patriot Flag, which is a 30-by-58-foot flag that is traveling to all 50 states to spread the message that “we have not forgotten” and we will “keep the memory alive” of the victims and responders of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Upon completion of the tour, the Patriot Flag will fly in Manhattan, Washington, D.C, and Pennsylvania on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. In recognition of the event, Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker proclaimed July 27 as The Patriot Flag Day during the ceremony in Fargo. (DoD photo by Senior Master Sgt. David H. Lipp)
I'm not very patriotic or anything like that, but I thought when visiting my country's capital city I should take a pic of our national flag.
A number of flags on one of the stands at Royal Troon Golf Club following the recent British Open that was recently played. All are being brought down and deconstruction should be completed by the end of August!
I only wish the flags were all flying in the same direction for our Weekend Theme!!
