What kind of material should I use for a winter cloak?

My mother wanted to buy a winter cloak last year but when we went back to the store a day after seeing them, they were all sold out. We went searching for it in all the stores I saw them in but likewise they had none.It was kind of like a vampiric cloak with a hood but without the high collar. I guess there's still some goth left in her from 20 years ago, ha. Anyways, she really wanted it and I'd like to make her one but I'm not exactly sure what material to use for the outside.

Has anyone ever been in love with someone but cirstances prevented you from being together?

True love always makes a way dear. After my wife and I were engaged to be married, the Army sent me to another state far away from her. We were separated for several months. I finally was able to get reigned closer to her and we were married. We have been married for over 29 years and have never been apart except for mobilizations and training. If you really are meant to be married, there will be a way to do it and make it work. Both of you should read in the Bible I Corinthians 13 "The Love Chapter" to find out what I mean. If there is a way, true love will find it because true love never fails or dies.

What are my chances of getting into UC Berkeley?

I am a junior, have a 4.2 weighted GPA, and my extracurriculars are National Honors Society, Art Club, (secretary of) Career Club, and (vice president of) Interact Club. I have not done any sports since I dislike sports, and I have so far taken multiple honors and AP courses. I have not yet taken my SATs, but have registered for later this year. I will also be taking the SAT II Chemistry and Literature. My PSAT score, converted into an SAT score, was around a 1680, although I have already begun studying to improve that score. Is there anything I should look into to increase my chances of being accepted, or anything I am missing? Any tips on writing my personal statement? What I should include in my application?

US visa requirements?

Just as Brits resent the number of immigrants (Eastern Europeans) taking jobs in Britain and leaving thousands of British citizens still seeking work, I'm sure Americans have the same attitude to foreigners coming in to take jobs that locals could do.

I need HELP but not for me! For the Greatest Pastor! I don't want to be out of line he just needs help.?
