Scotland U20 centre Mark Bennett has been named in Glasgow Warriors' starting XV for Friday's clash with the Scarlets in Llanelli.
Scotland U20 centre Mark Bennett has been named in Glasgow Warriors' starting XV for Friday's clash with the Scarlets in Llanelli.
Bennett has been handed only his third start, since re-joining the Warriors in November.
The Scotstoun-based side are currently sitting at the top of the PRO12 and chasing a play-off spot, with just three games remaining.
20-year-old Bennett has scored two tries in three appearances for the Warriors this season and came off the bench to score against Munster last week, with his other try coming in the 60-3 victory over the Dragons at Rodney Parade in February.
The other changes to the starting XV that beat Munster 51-24 at Scotstoun last Friday sees Henry Pyrgos replacing Niko Matawalu at scrum-half, Tom Ryder coming into the second-row in place of Tim Swinson and props Moray Low and Gordon Reid replacing Jon Welsh and Ryan Grant.
Sean Lamont, Matawalu, Swinson and Grant drop to the bench, while Welsh is not included in the 23-man squad.
Glasgow boss Gregor Townsend is optimistic about his side's chances against the Scarlets.
"Training has been really good this week and we had a very competitive day on Monday," he said.
"Everyone has come back fresh from a week off, so we're looking for that to benefit us during the run-in.
"The skill level and commitment of the players has been excellent all season and we'll need another big performance tomorrow night.
"We played well in the second half against Munster and it was a fantastic result for the club, but our focus is now very much on Scarlets and we're expecting an extremely tough game."
It is a familiar looking back row with John Barclay, Josh Strauss and Ryan Wilson once again combining.
Meanwhile, Scarlets head coach Simon Easterby has made just two personnel changes to his matchday 23 from the winning side that beat the Dragons in the derby double header at the Millennium Stadium last time out.
Wing Andy Fenby comes back into the starting line-up and scrum-half Gareth Davies comes onto the bench. Liam Williams moves from wing to full-back for Gareth Owen (illness) and Ken Owens starts at hooker with Matthew Rees on the bench.
Easterby said his side were very conscious of the threat brought by a confident Glasgow Warriors side that had put so many points on Munster and when last in Wales against the Dragons.
"Both teams are going to be determined to come away with points from Friday night's game," he explained.
"This is going to be a very big test for us and it's a high pressure game for us all but one we look forward to.
"They showed against Munster in particular how effective they can be; it's been positive that we've had some added time to study them, with the break for European games and really look at areas we want to attack in their game.
"They are obviously on form and are playing a decent brand of rugby and scoring plenty of points."
Easterby wants the Scarlets to find the top of their game on Friday, particularly without the ball and ensure they don't let a buoyant Glasgow side get into their stride.
"We'll have to be effective without the ball and much more secure than we've been in the last two matches otherwise Glasgow will punish us, we are very mindful of some key areas of their game when they have the ball," he added.
"But we have plenty of focus and drive as a group right now with this opportunity for silverware still in our hands, which has given a real energy to our preparations at Parc y Scarlets.
"We really want to kick on in these last three games the PRO12 and show what we stand for – particularly in front of our home crowd.
"This is a massive game in the context of our season – it will be a tough with Glasgow playing so well but this is what it's all about and the boys have worked very hard this week.
"We need as much of our home support behind as we can get. It's set be a great occasion on Friday night at Parc y Scarlets."
Form: Scarlets have lost just one of their last seven matches in all competitions: 5-32 to Leinster at the RDS in the RaboDirect PRO12 on 23rd February. The Llanelli based side have won their last four encounters at Parc y Scarlets, Scarlets are going for a clean sweep over Scottish opponents this season. Glasgow Warriors only loss in their last nine PRO12 fixtures was 17-22 to Leinster at the RDS on 23rd March. The Warriors have won eight of their last nine encounters with the Welsh regions. Glasgow have won just one of their last five matches against the Scarlets: 19-9 at Firhill in February 2012. Warriors have not won at Parc y Scarlets since May 2010.
The teams:
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Owen Williams, 9 Aled Davies, 8 Rob McCusker (c), 7 Johnathan Edwards, 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Johan Synman, 4 George Earle, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Ken Owens, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Rees, 17 Rhodri Jones, 18 Deacon Manu, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Josh Turnbull, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Aled Thomas, 23 Gareth Maule.
Glasgow Warriors: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Mark Bennett, 12 Peter Horne, 11 DTH van der Merwe, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Henry Pyrgos, 8 Ryan Wilson, 7 John Barclay, 6 Josh Strauss, 5 Al Kellock (c), 4 Tom Ryder, 3 Moray Low, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Gordon Reid.
Replacements: 16 Dougie Hall, 17 Ryan Grant, 18 Ed Kalman, 19 Tim Swinson, 20 Rob Harley, 21 Niko Matawalu, 22 Duncan Weir, 23 Sean Lamont.

Roger Federer's shoe of choice, the Vapor Tour 9 has been completely redesigned from the ground up compared to previous versions. Legendary Nike shoe designer, Tinker Hatfield (famous for his designs on the Air Jordan line including the Air Jordan III through Air Jordan XV basketball shoes) designed this Vapor. The upper features an all-new adaptive fit construction. Finger-like synthetic upper pieces attach to the lace system, allowing the player to customize the wrap of the shoe at six intervals from the forefoot to the heel. The fit of the shoe is designed around Federer's desire for a running shoe like feel with the support and stability of a tennis shoe. A light weight and breathable mesh upper resides underneath the adaptive fit to provide no break-in comfort and excellent ventilation. A full-length phylon midsole with Zoom Air unit provides low to the ground cushioning and a responsive ride. On court the shoe feels light, fast and very comfortable. Support is impressive and very customizable thanks to the adaptive fit system.

Sketch to runway: the Jenni Kayne Zip Pocket Blazer.
Drawing inspiration from the classic American road trip, the Jenni Kayne Spring 2011 collection has the California ease the line is known for, executed in crisp, classic lines. We asked the designer about her Zip Pocket Blazer:
"Jackets are de rigueur at JK, and this updated waxed-linen version is my new favorite. The longer silhouette looks fresh, and the color is neutral without being basic."
For her spring 2011 collection, Jenni Kayne drew inspiration from that American classic: the road trip.

The Center for Emotion and Behavior Integration provides intensive, time-limited outpatient treatment for adolescents and young adults (17-45 years of age) suffering from complex behavioral problems. The Center encompasses a variety of treatment approaches based upon the most up-to-date neurocognitive and psychosocial understanding of the causes for these problems. Specific services that are available include comprehensive prescreening testing, diagnostic evaluation, individual psychotherapies, group therapies, family consultation, and medication management. The specific treatment package is tailored to the needs of the individual patient.
Family Systems Therapy-Nonpathologizing Approach to Emotion and Behavior.
Family Systems Therapy
Family Systems Therapy.
Application of Systems Theory to Social and Relational Patterns.
Nonpathologizing understanding of human emotional and behavioral problems.
Complex behavioral problems are maladaptive sets of behaviors that are used to cope with negative emotions and interpersonal stresses. Patients who suffer from self-harm, eating disorders, addictions, recurrent suicide attempts, and/or borderline personality disorder may be eligible for treatment at the Center. Because of the affected brain regions involved in these conditions, they often are accompanied by anxiety, depression, mood instability, and poor interpersonal functioning.
Recent neuroscience research is pointing the way toward a better understanding of complex behavioral problems. Neuroimaging studies suggest that individuals who suffer from these behaviors react to emotional stress in a different way from most other people. There is a relative deactivation of certain prefrontal regions of the brain, which are responsible for helping us to be aware of our emotional experiences and adaptively manage them. On the other hand, there is relative hyper-activation of certain other brain regions (amygdala and ventral striatum), which can account for much of the mood reactivity, anxiety, and distress that patients with complex behavior problems suffer from. The ventral striatum triggers pleasure seeking behaviors (such as drug addiction, bingeing, compulsive gambling), as well as attachment seeking behaviors, which can contribute to rejection sensitivity.
YES! Multiple neuroimaging studies suggest that specific kinds of psychotherapy and medication interventions can remediate the neural networks in the brain to normalize activity of the various regions. This is not an easy process, but with the right combination of treatment and with hard work and determination on the part of the patient, success can be achieved!

|In response to Re: backsplash tiling
This is a backsplash, not a shower. You don't need wonderboard and thinset for a backsplash. You need a decent mastik to stick the tiles to your sheetrock. Then grout the joints.
: I have recently remodeled a home built in the late 1800s, but there are a few things I have yet to do. One place in particular that is giving me fits is my kitchen backsplash, I had first considered nailing on a white-washed knotty pine beadboard but then I took into consideration the moisture factor. So then I thought about tiling, but people told me that I would have to use wonderboard as opposed to the drywall that is presently there and with having insulation blown in my exterior walls I do not want to replace the drywall and lose my insulation. As if I need more confusion, I like the look of tumbled marble but it seems as if it is used in more floor applications, is it too heavy to use on a wall and would I just use a thinset mortor under it? As you can tell I am very confused about this and it seems as though I can't get a solid answer from anyone. I would really appreciate any input for my backsplash dilemma. Also if you are interested I have before and after pics of my rural Ohio farmhouse.

You may be shocked to learn this, but since the departure of bingofuel there has been very little in the way of adult supervision around Nation Central Command. The writers continue to write, the radio continues to radio and thankfully the advertisers continue to pay their bills.
But your ol' pal Wanye can't very well be counted on to be "on the ball" or "awake prior to noon." It just doesn't work that way. We are far too concerned about Angry Birds RIO HD releasing the next 2 levels or the fact that HMV hasn't carried any of Gucci Mane's last three mixtapes to be any sort of help on a regular basis.
And this was starting to be a problem – until the heroic Kent Wilson stepped up to the plate. Under his watchful eye, FlamesNation has grown 16 fold in 16 months and CanucksArmy has been upgraded from "dead" to "very much alive." TheLeafsNation has seen traction from the start and continues to grow and recently JetsNation had the highest launch of any of the Nation Network sites.
This ain't your ol' pal Wanye doing much of much. This is all Kent Wilson being everywhere all at once – and getting it done 24/7.
And getting it done is the name of the game going into this 2011-12 season. There are grand plans for the Nation Network if we can ever get our act together. GRAND plans indeed. We are in 5 Canadian Cities now and are redeveloping NHLNumbers.com for the second time in the past year. The radio show is going to hopefully grow and we have a secret plan being developed in the most underground part of Laboratory Complex C that will take years to come to light if it is even possible in the first place.
There are many miles to go before we can sell out, mail it in and put the glory years of the network in the rear view mirror as it turns into a forum for the hardcore fans of the Klingon Chess Association.
Yes, there are still a great many things to be done on the Nation Network business plan.
Currently this plan is merely the word "KILL" written in lipstick on a napkin and stapled to the wall over the computer in Wanye Manor. But with the addition of Kent Wilson as the editor of the Nation Network, we will now have the brain power and chemical engineering needed to turn this napkin into a proper plan and then turn that plan into something being killed.
To capture the historic rise to power of the Editor of the Nation Network we emailed our new boss a couple of respectfully worded questions.
Wanye: Lay your biography out for those of us who are unfamiliar with your gunslingery please Sir.
Kent: I began writing about the Flames at the start of the 2005 season, mostly as a hobby. I wrote about 1,000 articles between 2005 and 2010 at my home site of fivehole fanatics. I eventually began picking up freelance work as well, including a couple of years at fanball.com providing fantasy analysis as well as Hockey's Future covering the Flames prospects.
In 2009, I was approached by Sports Blog Nation to establish and manage their Flames site, Matchsticks and Gasoline. A year or so down the road, our own irrepressible Wanye managed to convince me to leave the site I had so carefully built for SBN to take over Flamesnation. He plied me with wine, women and psychedelic mind-control agents. He also threatened to decapitate my prize race horse. Offers that couldn't be refused, clearly.
I've been annoying my co-bloggers and angering Flames fans at FN ever since.
I also currently contribute to both Hockey Prospectus.com and The Score blog "Houses of the Hockey", but the Nations is my true home.
Wanye: How does it feel to be in control of the Nation Network after your bloodless coup?
A bit like herding cats. In the dark. And some of the cats don't care for me very much.
Wanye: What are the plans of the new regime?
To grow things rapidly and aggressively. Think Genghis Kahn. Also, to give the same sort opportunities to aspiring writers that have been afforded me through the Nations. Finally, in the far-flung future, I would like to grasp total power over the company by leading a bloody insurrection over the current ownersh...err wait. You should probably ignore that last one.
There you have it. All Hail the new overlord.
I for one welcome our Calgary overlords.
Wow!first day on the job and look at all the anarchy on the site.must be from cowtown.
July 20 2011, 05:44PM
Well, someone had to say it.
Congrats Kent, I'm stoked to be a part of it!
July 20 2011, 06:02PM
You guys are responsible for NHLnumbers? Someone want to explain me why my realtor is slated to earn more than Karl Alzner in '12-'13?
You will have to check my website www.realtornumbers.com or if your realtor is Canadian www.realtornumbers.ca.
July 20 2011, 06:21PM
Arch,That's funny stuff.
July 20 2011, 06:24PM
Thanks again everyone.
And to those wishing for site improvements, I'll tell you this - a few weeks ago I sent Wanye and company a multi-page page overview of the network and my recommendations for the platform.
His head exploded but just know we are looking into things now.
Kent, I look forward to many more years of destroying you in the Nacho pool. Also, please make the nation site mobile-friendly. Please.
July 20 2011, 06:50PM
My enduring nemsis is that damn pool. I swear Sherwood cheats somehow.
July 20 2011, 07:03PM
Congrats, sir. You are officially a powerhouse.
July 20 2011, 07:22PM
Congratulations Kent, I enjoyed reading your articles on the other nation's site. I look forward to reading more, just as long as they don't include the Flames! JK
Congrats Kent. I enjoy your articles because I like how you seem to think the game. It's unfortunate that as a young child you were brainwashed into being loyal to the darkside of fandom, but hey - no one is perfect!
Congrats Kent. Though, I must say I am concerned that any power is being wielded by a Flames Fan. heaven forbid.
Edit: that's a joke by the way... kinda...
July 20 2011, 09:28PM
So let me get this straight...
Kent Wilsson blogs for the Flames and Oil next to Wanye Gretzky?
A hat tip to the Talent Acquisition Department (aka Wanye's 1991 Bud Girls poster).
July 20 2011, 10:03PM
That's quite a rise to power!
Really got hooked on Kent's stuff and M&G and been following ever since. Can't see but good things with him at the helm of this now.
Good luck Nation Network.
July 20 2011, 10:23PM
your first order of business: getting a new g**d*** platform for us to converse on. i love kent wilson but seriously guys, this brand of commenting can be improved thousandfold.
ohyeah, and ENORMOUS congrats my friend. nobody deserves it more.
next stop: flames front office.
Last name's Wilson, not Sutter!!!
Thanks again everyone.
And to those wishing for site improvements, I'll tell you this - a few weeks ago I sent Wanye and company a multi-page page overview of the network and my recommendations for the platform.

July 21 2011, 12:40AM
Well done Kent.
More Flames Nation Radio!!
July 21 2011, 04:36AM
Congrats Kent!
Well deserved for some of your great work and articles. Kent Wilson the AGM of Feaster(only to become the GM a year later when Feaster is done handing out NMC,NTC and such) sounds much better, but this sounds like a step in the right direction.
Keep up the good work and yes, more Flames Nation Radio indeed!
July 21 2011, 06:22AM
alright, who is going to be the first one to drop a deuce on the new bosses desk?
(c'mon rosscreek)
Congrats Kent! You're a highly refreshing read from the rest of what's out there, including most of the mainstream. Keep up the good job!
Oh, and you deserve a raise!
July 21 2011, 07:56AM
Does this mean we have to stop calling you our "Dear Leader"?
Might have to change the avatar buddy.
July 21 2011, 08:38AM
A bit like herding cats. In the dark. And some of the cats don't care for me very much.
Are you calling us pussies? Screw you Kent! I demand a duel.
Okay I must be drinking too much since July 1st and Tambo's run on Free agents, etc.. What the Heck happened to Bingofuel?
Did I congratulate you on this during Saturday night beers? For some reason things are very foggy...
If not, congratulations on the new post. I fully expect to be over here bitching about something at some point so that you can shoot me down with a much more rational and fact based argument. (Really, why would anything change?)
And you know I'm always good for beers in person. Now that you're King, you can hire someone to do the scoring chances so that we can all go over to WI's and watch the games.
alright, who is going to be the first one to drop a deuce on the new bosses desk?
(c'mon rosscreek)
LMAO! Now why would I go and do that?!
Okay I must be drinking too much since July 1st and Tambo's run on Free agents, etc.. What the Heck happened to Bingofuel?
bingofuel sold his shares in The Nation's for millions and was subsequently struck by lightning while vacationing in Europe. RIP, bingo
July 21 2011, 01:56PM
Thanks, appreciate that.
And there's no way I'll be able to farm out the scoring chances. Only obsessives like myself have interest in doing it more than once or twice.
bingofuel sold his shares in The Nation's for millions and was subsequently struck by lightning while vacationing in Europe. RIP, bingo
Jeebus! I hope he was at least struck by lightning in one of Amsterdam's fine "neighbourhoods"..
Lets hope he had a smile on his face when he went.. :P

Since Jason Witten is better than Franks (more yards, similars TDs) the trade comes down to how you rank Jackson vs WEstbrook and Williams. You could probably pick up a sleeper candidate as good as Williams out of the FA pool, so I would say no.
Posted 30 August 2005 - 11:49 AM
Westbrook only started 12 games last year and had 73rec for 703 yards and 812 rushing yards for a total yards of 1515 and a total of 9TDs now stretch that to 16 games and its 97rec. 2020 total yards and 12TDs. Plus with no real number 2 WR he will be counted on more as a receiver.
Jackson on the other hand is tough to judge but I guarantee faulk will get some touches. Jackson averaged 5 yards. Even if he keeps it up (he wont) and gets 15 carries a game (don't expect more) it will be 1200 yards and his receiving yards won't be enough to push him to over 2000 yards. Westbrook is very underrated. And all the TDs for them are aired out. bulger to holt and bruce not to the RBs really
i say do it
#8 Guest_a1elbow_*
Posted 30 August 2005 - 10:38 PM
He also isn't a guy who will score you a lot of points in actual RB style. Last year he only managed two games with over 100 rushing yards and totaled 800 yards and 3 TDs. All in all, Westbrook only had 1500 total yards and 9 TDs. In an average fantasy football league (that doesn't have a 1-1 Points-receptions ratio), he just doesn't have the potential to be more than a decent number two.
Now for Jackson:
Faulk will get his touches, but they won't be goal line (Jackson is a better short yardage back) and he won't be the guy to run down the clock when the Rams need that (Jackson picks up positive yardage more consistantly). In the past, when the Rams had him healthy, Faulk would compile a lot of yards late in games when the team was ahead and the opposing defense wound down. He had about 50 yards in the 4th quarter one game.
Martz is going to make more of a commitment to the running game this season, particularly against the blitz (he ran on 6 of 7 plays against Detroit's blitz early in the game, right untill they backed off and stopped bringing pressure). He hasn't had a featured back the last few years, as Faulk has been injured and none of their back ups have stepped up enough. But Jackson is now "the guy" in St Louis and will get the lion's share of the carries. He may not get 20 a game
As for his receptions, like I said, the Rams always dump off a lot to their RBs. Last year, as a rookie, Jackson started just three games but had 189 receiving yards on 19 receptions. There is a lot of room to catch and run when Holt, Bruce, etc are all running deep patterns, and the St Louis backs have always been able to take advantage of this. During the three years Faulk started at least 14 games for the Rams, he averaged just over 60 yards, half a TD, and 5 receptions a game. Even half of those numbers still puts Jackson in the area of 400 yards and 4 TDs.
A lot of people outside of the St Louis area don't realise how dangerous the Rams offense will be this year now that it has a featured back (and, I'll add, Faulk coming into this season for the first time in three years without having offseason surgery). They also have the best OLine since their Super Bowl loss to the Patriots with everyone being in camp together throughout the preseason. The last time they had those this same Rams offense put up record and near record numbers.
Here are my (honest) predections (not overprojecting at all) for the Rams big offensive players (approx, rounded off):
Bulger: 4600passing yards, 35passingTDs, 14 INTs (70rushyards, 5rushTDs)
Holt: 1600 rec yards, 14 rec TDs
Bruce:1100rec yards, 7rec TDs
Curtis:600rec yards, 4rec TDs
Jackson:1250rushyards, 8rushTDs (400recyards, 4recTDs)
Faulk: 400 rush yards, 1rush TDs (250rec yards, 2 rec TDs)
That leaves some yards and TDs to go around to their TE and 4th/5th receivers.
And yes, I am serious about these numbers. The Rams are going to blow away some teams this year, and I'm looking at the 49ers and Seahawks as prime targets.
Hell, this is long. Sorry, but I am really surprised at the lack of attention to the Rams offense. The media seems surprised at how good they looked against Detroit last Monday, but they shouldn't be.

Michael was born in 1977 in the southern empire of Atlanta, Georgia. Soon after, he began to make loud noises, so his loving parents put music instruments in front of him. It was a good plan. He grew up in that grand tradition of staying up late & singing real loud. Although he's since moved north, the humid south remains in heart and sinus cavities

I am thinking about moving the location of the toilet in my bathroom remodel effort. Currently, the distance of the toilet flange to the main drain/vent stack is aprox. 36" (centerline of toilet flange to centerline of the main drain/vent stack). I realize one should maintain the same rise/run on the extension. My questions are:
1) Is there a limit as to how far the toilet flange should be from the main drain/vent stack? The objective of course is to make sure I don't relocate so far away that I impact the operation of the new low flow toilet I will install. It will be a straight extension, i.e., no turns of any sort. The piping is 3" ABS.
2) Is there a good plumbing reference book you would recommend where I could find the answers to these very specific sort of installation/design questions.
Thanks for your time,

Sedu Flat IronI recently purchased one of these and took it on holiday to Fiji & New Zealand. My hair is normally coarse and dry and does not like moisture. This worked like a dream and in less time than it takes for my one here in the States I was back to looking great. It heats up quickly and certainly does what it says better than any other I have previously had. Love it.Jan 8, 2006Pb / CO, USA

Sedu Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Flat IronBoth of my daughters, with their part-African heritage, naturally have very curly hair. We recently purchased a Sedu over the internet after trying various other brands. Admittedly, this one cost more than the others weve used but weve found it to be worth every cent. Its just fantastic. Heats up rapidly. So easy to hold and manoeuvre. It just glides down the hair and straightens beautifully and effortlessly. It used to take me nearly an hour to completely straighten my daughters hair but that time has now been halved. Also, the hair stays straight and sleek for the week. Occasionally if a touch up is needed, my daughter can whip over her hair in about five to ten minutes. Were so happy with this product.Nov 23, 2005Sue / Melbourne, Australia

Best Flat IronI just purchased the Sedu flat iron, and I am very impressed. It leaves my hair soft and silky. It doesnt pull my hair or burn it. I am very satisfied. I was going to buy a CHI, but my sister and mother both own one and they are very disatisfied with the results. My mother regrets she bought the CHI Flat iron. She conplaint that it does not heat up and it burns her hair.Sep 29, 2005Mary Garza / Austin, Texas

Wonderful Product!Ive used other brands of flat irons but never with such great results. The SEDU is the best out there! It leaves my hair silky and smooth and very healthy looking. I have long (about 3" below my shoulders) thick hair and the whole process takes just 5 minutes.I highly recommend it--well worth the price.Aug 13, 2005Beth / England

SeduPersonally i am not totally impressed with the sedu straightners. The review i read (of the US version of the straightner) were really positive however I did not myself get the same results.my hair is quite curly and so needs straighning every day. The sedu does straighten reasonable well but it takes quite a lot of time and also the machine has a design fault (or so it seems) as it is is extremely easy to trap your fingers in it while using it.therefore if i am being totally honest i would advise people to buy another brand.Jun 29, 2005Laura

Independent Women's Forum
Follow the money in the Koch wiki.
Learn more about how the State Policy Network aids ALEC and spins disinformation in the states.
The Independent Women's Forum (IWF; not to be confused with the International Women's Forum) is an anti-feminist organization predominantly funded by right-wing foundations, including the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, and the Koch brothers' Claude R. Lambe Foundation.[1] On its website, it describes its mission as being "to rebuild civil society by advancing economic liberty, personal responsibility, and political freedom. IWF builds support for a greater respect for limited government, equality under the law, property rights, free markets, strong families, and a powerful and effective national defense and foreign policy."[2] The Independent Women's Forum is an "associate" member of the State Policy Network, a web of right-wing "think tanks" in every state across the country.[3]
The IWF originally grew out of a group called "Women for Clarence Thomas," formed to support Clarence Thomas, then a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, against allegations of sexual harassment.[4][5] It has vocally opposed the Violence Against Women Act.
In an editorial, the New York Times called the IWF "a right-wing public policy group that provides pseudofeminist support for extreme positions that are in fact dangerous to women."[6]
From 2003-2008, IWF was affiliated with the Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity.[7][8]
|Koch Wiki
The Koch brothers -- David and Charles -- are the right-wing billionaire co-owners of Koch Industries. As two of the richest people in the world, they are key funders of the right-wing infrastructure, including the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the State Policy Network (SPN). In SourceWatch, key articles on the Kochs include: Koch Brothers, Koch Industries, Americans for Prosperity, American Encore, and Freedom Partners.

Ties to the Koch Brothers
IWF has received funding from several sources with ties to the Koch brothers. The Koch family foundations donated $844,115 to IWF between 1998 and 2012, the most recent year for which records are available. DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund have contributed over $2.1 milliion to IWF since 2010.
Heather Higgins, the chair of IWF's board of directors, has attended at least one Koch network summit meeting. Former IWF president Nancy Pfotenhauer worked for Koch Industries and has attended multiple Koch network meetings. Pfotenhauer currently sits on the board of Americans for Prosperity, a key organization in the Kochs' political network.[9]
IWF Managing Director Suggests Gender Discrimination Is a Fairy Tale
In an opinion piece in the Chicago Tribune on August 8, 2016, managing director at IWF, Carrie Lukas implies that gender discrimination is a fairy tale,
- "Obviously there was discrimination against women once upon a time, but the feminist movement has kind of clung to that. They've been allowed to get away with this idea that the sexes are interchangeable, but at the same time claim it's a legitimate idea that we need a woman to change things."[10]
IWF Fellow Calls Gun Control "Sexist," 2013
Speaking at Senate hearings on gun control in February 2013, IWF senior fellow Gayle Trotter stated that gun control regulations were "sexist."
- "Calling guns "the great equalizer," Trotter said women need firearms to protect themselves against male attackers. "An assault weapon in the hands of a young woman defending her babies in her home becomes a defense weapon," Trotter said. "And the peace of mind she has…knowing she has a scary-looking gun gives her more courage when she's fighting hardened violent criminals."[11]
Trotter's testimony provoked strong reactions, with many critics citing research that suggests the presence of guns in the home often correlates with a greater likelihood that women and children will be injured or killed. A New York Times editorial wrote that it marked "an absurd low point" in the debate over gun violence in the U.S., adding that "[i]n domestic violence situations, the risk of homicide for women increased eightfold when the abuser had access to firearms, according to a study published in The American Journal of Public Health in 2003." The Times editors also noted that the IWF had opposed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994.[6] The Nation added Trotter's statement to its list of "Timeless Whoppers."[12] In Slate, feminist activists Amanda Marcotte wrote, "The conservative claim, made by Trotter, that guns are an "equalizer" is about as serious a misrepresentation as you can muster when it comes to violence against women. Most violence against women is perpetrated by men the victim knows in situations that are intimate or social, where guns aren't usually out."[5]
Trotter defended her testimony in an e-mail to the Daily Beast, writing, "I am an unapologetically liberty-loving, tyranny-hating, red-blooded, patriotic American woman, a lawyer who is proud to say that the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the founding charters of freedom and that government of the people, for the people and by the people is here to stay."[11]
Opposition to Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), 2013
IWF has regularly opposed VAWA, including during a fight to reauthorize the Act in March 2013. "What concerns us most is VAWA includes no provisions for financial oversight, views violence more through an ideological lens than a practical one, erodes constitutional rights of the accused, and perpetuates the idea that society is hostile to women," Charlotte Hays of the Independent Women's Forum, said in a statement" at the time, according to the Washington Post.[13]
An article by Sally Patel in IWF's "scholarly" magazine, The Women's Quarterly, stated that "the battered women's movement has outlived its useful beginnings."[14]
Defense of Rush Limbaugh
IWF has repeatedly defended right-wing talk radio host Rush Limbaugh,[15][16] including supporting Limbaugh after his misogynist comments towards Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke on his show in 2012. A report by The Nation and the American Independent Institute found that Limbaugh donated about $273,000 to IWF in 2007, making him the group's largest donor that year. The report noted that in later years, "donors to the IWF began cloaking its contributions by running them through the right-wing's biggest donor-advised fund, DonorsTrust," making it difficult to know how much Limbaugh may have donated since then.[17]
Efforts to Eradicate Teaching of Global Warming from Schools
In May, 2010 IWF started supporting a group called Balanced Education for Everyone whose goal is to stop the teaching of global warming in U.S. schools. The group calls global warming "junk science," and claims teaching it scares children unnecessarily. The group started its national effort at a meeting of the Mesa County, Colorado District 51 School Board, where it presented the board with a petition containing 600-700 signatures of people who want global warming instruction stopped. [18][19]
Founded by Rosalie Gaull (Ricky) Silberman in 1992, the IWF grew out of the ad hoc group, Women for Judge Thomas.
While claiming to challenge "radical feminists," IWF primarily targets mainstream feminists and feminist organizations, as exemplified by such figures as Hillary Rodham Clinton and such groups as the American Association of University Women.
IWF is a secular counterpart to Religious Right women's groups like Eagle Forum and Concerned Women for America, but these groups often work together. People for the American Way describe IWF as a group that "opposes affirmative action, gender equity programs like Title IX, and the Violence Against Women Act."[20]
IWF members include academic women who are paid to write papers that denigrate the idea of equity for girls and women in education. One of these papers,[1] by Judith Kleinfeld, a professor of psychology at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, has questioned an MIT study[21] on discrimination against women in MIT's science department, calling their findings "junk science."
IWF's website shows an expansive sphere of concerns, all viewed from right-wing perspectives.
IWF's head Michelle Bernard later became the head of the Bernard Center for Women, Politics and Public Policy. The Bernard Center's website lists no donors, no history and no contact information other than a PO box in Potomac, Maryland. Analysts from the Bernard Center have written about 'misguided' food and nutrition policy, and the need for more charter schools.
Feminist Majority Objects to IWF's State Department Grant, 2004
In October 2004 the Feminist Majority Foundation objected to the U.S. Department of State's decision to award part of a $10 million grant to IWF for "leadership training, democracy education and coalition building assistance" to women in Iraq. Then-president of the Feminist Majority Eleanor Smeal said that the IWF "represents a small group of right-wing wheeler-dealers inside the Beltway."[22] The funding was from the Iraqi Women's Democracy Initiative. In a press release, IWF "denounced" the Feminist Majority's objection, calling it a "radical feminist group," and stated its plan to work with the American Islamic Congress and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.[23]
According to data collected by Media Matters' Conservative Transparency Project, IWF received $16,009,294 in foundation grants between 1994 and 2012. The top ten overall contributors to IWF are:[1]
- Randolph Foundation: $3,779,850 (1998-2012)
- DonorsTrust: $3,594,104 (2002-2012)
- Sarah Scaife Foundation: $1,900,000 (1999-2007)
- Donors Capital Fund: 1,640,000 (2012)
- Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation: $835,000 (1998-2010)
- John M. Olin Foundation: $776,000 (1995-2002)
- Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation: $580,000 (1995-2008)
- Castle Rock Foundation: $400,000 (1998-2011)
- Jaquelin Hume Foundation: $375,000 (1999-2009)
- William H. Donner Foundation: $308,157 (1998-2009)
IWF has also received grants from Exxon Mobil ($50,000 between 2002 and 2006) and from the Joyce and Donald Rumsfeld Foundation ($31,500 between 2002 and 2010).
At the time of its resource sharing announcement with Americans for Prosperity in October 2003, IWF stated that "we had come through a difficult transition a few years ago and were really hitting our stride after getting a major, million-dollar grant."[7]

Earnest Sewn introduces a fresh new take on a twill pant, the Winston, and is donating 10% of sales from their NYC stores to American Diabetes Association in honor of Diabetes Awareness Month. Earnest Sewn Designer, Benjamin Talley Smith says, "the Winston is the evolution of the best selling Fulton Twill program for Fall. I live in denim, it's my life, but for the holidays the Winston is the perfect alternative to jeans you can wear home to your family or out to sophisticated events, but still feel comfortable. The Fall trouser is a Relaxed Slim Slant Pocket Pant, unique with a Chino Back pocket and Turkish Stretch Twill and comes in the festive shades of Shadow, Moss & Cayenne" and will promote funds for the entire month of November at Earnest Sewn's Meatpacking & Lower East Side stores; $198, and online.
November is American Diabetes Month, a time to encourage all to make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of being diagnosed with the chronic but manageable disease. Nearly 26 million Americans today are living with diabetes, a disease that can lead to heart attacks, strokes, blindness and kidney failure if left untreated or improperly managed. Every 17 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes and research shows that the disease kills more people each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. The American Diabetes Association leads the fight against the deadly consequences of the disease. The organization funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes and delivers services to hundreds of communities; www.diabetes.org.

North American Amphibian Monitoring Program
North American Amphibian Monitoring Program
Georgia has participated in the North American Amphibian Monitoring Program, or NAAMP, since 2008. Developed by the U.S. Geological Survey, NAAMP is an international study investigating the distribution and relative abundance of amphibians in North America. Standardized monitoring data collected from across the country is analyzed for patterns of amphibian stability or decline on local, regional and national levels.
Volunteers are asked to drive a predetermined route (or routes), stopping for five minutes to listen for and report frog species and their relative abundance at 10 established wetland stops. Three windows of listening periods are designated to account for the seasonal activity differences between various species, so each route is run three times per year.
Additionally, each volunteer must annually pass (65 percent or greater) an online frog call identification quiz.
The goal for Georgia is to have all 78 routes covered and beyond and are encouraging interested potential volunteers to bone up on their frog call ID skills and join us in this study. The need is keen in southern Georgia, where the program is really lacking coverage.
Georgia frog calls can be listened to on several websites (links below), or you can buy the "Calls of the Wild - Vocalizations of Georgia's Frogs" CD from the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division's Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center.
Hone your skills with these resources:
If interested and qualified for participation in NAAMP, please contact Georgia NAAMP Coordinator John Jensen of the Nongame Conservation Section at (478) 994-1438 or email@example.com.

Report poaching and wildlife violations. You can receive a cash reward if your tip leads to an arrest—even if you wish to remain anonymous.

"This bag was the neutral color I wanted, had a durable lining, and was made from quality, but the design isn't very efficient. I am a "grab and go" kind of person, so when I received this as a gift, I thought it was perfect... and then I tried to put it down. Because it has no flat bottom, and is made of a thick fake leather, its only option is to rest on its side, meaning my contents are going to spill everywhere if I'm not careful. That isn't something I am willing to live with, so I will have to exchange this bag."

Corporate Intranet Design
LPS, a Fortune 1000 company, commissioned Station Four for a second project after their website design; this time to overhaul their employee intranet. A frequently used system, the new design accomplished the project's biggest goal: accommodating all the Microsoft Sharepoint functionality without skimping on great design.
Opening Up the Color Pallette
By comparison to the strict brand guidelines given to us for their marketing site, the LPS employee intranet was free of any color hindrances. Because of this, we submitted a variety of design schemes to the marketing team, letting them choose which palette they felt best suited the company's new internal brand direction.

Love these shoes
"This shoe can be worn with so many outfits. The possibilities are endless. They are true to size and really comfortable. I usually worry about walking all day in a shoe like this because I have flat feet. But these had just the right about of cushion and I was able to walk for hours without having to sit down. I love the color combination in these shoes."

"This shoe is slightly short but if I went up a size it would be to long. The left shoe was narrower than the right so it's going to need some breaking in. The shoe itself is beautiful. Don't know how long the beads are going to stay intact. I'm on the fence with this one especially concerning the price. Even at the clearance price I just don't see paying that much for a pair of flip flops."

text: I personally prefer holy's playstyle but I feel disc is stronger for 10m on most fights. I personally run disc/holy and swap on a fight to fight basis but honestly, I mainly use disc for progression and only use holy on farm bosses. My guild is 5/13H atm and the only boss I actually feel holy is stronger on is Heroic Tortos. By the nature of having 2 choices, one is going to be stronger for each fight; it's just how far apart disc and holy are for a given fight. Some they will be very close together and others, one will pull way ahead. As it is, on most ToT fights disc is ahead of holy by a decent margin.

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) is a Medi-Cal program that is funded by county, state and federal dollars. The goal of the IHSS program is to allow low income aged, blind, and disabled persons, who are at risk for out-of-home placement, to remain safely at home by providing payment for care provider services.
IHSS care providers may provide personal care services such as bathing and grooming, dressing, and toileting. Care providers may also provide domestic services such as house cleaning, meal preparation/cleanup, shopping, and laundry. Services are authorized based on the functional needs of the client and in accordance with program rules and regulations.
An applicant must:
Referrals can be made by the applicant or on their behalf with the applicant's knowledge and agreement. The easiest way to apply for services is to call Comprehensive Services for Older Adults at 253-6272 and ask to make an IHSS referral. You may also come into the office and apply in person. We are located at 650 Imperial Way, Suite 101, Napa, CA 94559. When making a referral, be prepared with the following information:
A. Applicant's date of birth
B. Social security number
C. Address
D. Telephone number
E. Primary care doctor
F. Diagnosis/disability information
Once a referral is received, the referral will be assigned to an IHSS social worker.
The social worker will contact the applicant to schedule a home visit. This may take up to 30 days. At the home visit the social worker will conduct an assessment to determine if the applicant meets the eligibility criteria, what services the applicant needs assistance with and the amount of timed needed to perform the services. This assessment will take into consideration the applicant's medical condition, living arrangement and resources that may already be available.
The applicant will be notified regarding the approval / denial of the IHSS application via mail. If denied, a notice will be sent explaining the reason for the denial. If approved, the client will be notified of the services and amount of hours per month that have been authorized. Depending on the amount of the client's monthly income, they may be required to pay a share of cost for these services.
If approved for IHSS, the client must hire an IHSS care provider to perform the authorized services. IHSS clients are considered the care provider's employer and are responsible for all aspects of provider management, including: interviewing, hiring, training, scheduling, and terminating a provider. IHSS pays the wages of a care provider once the care provider has completed the IHSS provider enrollment requirements and has been approved to provide services. Care providers can be:

JST, Luke 3:4–11.
4 As it is written in the book of the prophet Esaias; and these are the words, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight.
5 For behold, and lo, he shall come, as it is written in the book of the prophets, to take away the sins of the world, and to bring salvation unto the heathen nations, to gather together those who are lost, who are of the sheepfold of Israel;
6 Yea, even the dispersed and afflicted; and also to prepare the way, and make possible the preaching of the gospel unto the Gentiles;
7 And to be a light unto all who sit in darkness, unto the uttermost parts of the earth; to bring to pass the resurrection from the dead, and to ascend up on high, to dwell on the right hand of the Father,
8 Until the fullness of time, and the law and the testimony shall be sealed, and the keys of the kingdom shall be delivered up again unto the Father;
9 To administer justice unto all; to come down in judgment upon all, and to convince all the ungodly of their ungodly deeds, which they have committed; and all this in the day that he shall come;
10 For it is a day of power; yea, every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth;
JST, Luke 3:19–20.
19 For it is well known unto you, Theophilus, that after the manner of the Jews, and according to the custom of their law in receiving money into the treasury, that out of the abundance which was received, was appointed unto the poor, every man his portion;
20 And after this manner did the publicans also, wherefore John said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

Emotion, Neuroscience, and Law: A Comment on Darwin and Greene
John Mikhail
Georgetown University Law Center
February 14, 2011
Emotion Review, Forthcoming
Georgetown Public Law Research Paper No. 11-26
Darwin's (1871) observation that evolution has produced in us certain emotions responding to right and wrong conduct that lack any obvious basis in individual utility is a useful springboard from which to clarify the role of emotion in moral judgment. The problem is whether a certain class of moral judgments is "constituted" or "driven by" emotion (Greene 2008, p. 108) or merely correlated with emotion while being generated by unconscious computations (e.g., Huebner et al. 2008). With one exception, all of the "personal" vignettes devised by Greene and colleagues (2001, 2004) and subsequently used by other researchers (e.g., Koenigs et al. 2007) in their fMRI and behavioral studies of emotional engagement in moral judgment involve violent crimes or torts. These studies thus do much more than highlight the role of emotion in moral judgment; they also support the classical rationalist thesis that moral rules are engraved in the mind.

The Castle Dale city council recently broke ground for an indoor arena at the rodeo grounds in Castle Dale. The building will be 175 x 275 feet, with an arena floor of 275 x 138 feet. The indoor arena will be big enough for full pattern barrel racing. The building will be multi-purpose and open for public use. The arena will have sky lights/clear wall panels for power conservation. The arena will include bathrooms and a concession stand. Seating capacity will be 540 people. The seating area will be heated. Sound and lights will also be included in the building. Roping boxes and calf chutes will be included. Two bucking chutes will be installed. All of the intake air will be through swamp coolers.
This Castle Dale City Project has been made possible with a Community Impact Board grant for $355,000 and also a $355,000 interest free loan. Castle Dale City is happy to be able to fund this project without raising taxes. Castle Dale City will provide labor for bathrooms, office, dirt work and the concession stand. Local certified electricians will be donating their time on the building. Engineering is being done by Johansen and Tuttle with the concrete work being done by Ernest Jensen Construction. The building will be erected by Stilson Construction with the steel rebar being supplied by Magnuson Lumber. The Castle Dale City Council said a number of people helped design the project and they appreciate their hard work and involvement: Danny Whiteleather, Joel Dorsch, Derri Jewkes, Jason Branson, Ken Kofford, Eldon Whittle and Bevan Wilson.
The arena is projected to be complete by the end of June if things progress on schedule.

Trevor Linden is unainimously the Greatest Canuck of all time. However, he was not the most talented. That feat belongs to DJ Tanner's brother in law. That man, is Pavel Bure, if you have no idea who that is (and you are not six) put a shotgun in your mouth and your toe on the trigger becuase you fail at life.
Now that #16 is nestled comfortably next to #12 up in the rafters, the next question that needs to be raised.... whether there should be a #10 up there? In short, YES, for God's sake yes. Bure wore a Canucks uniform for 7 seasons. He amassed 478 points in 428 games. 254 Goals, pretty much all spectacular. He still holds the record for most points in a season (110) and most goals in a season (60 twice).
Pavel's speed was a significant asset. With his speed came great deking ability. He could deke a tender out of his jockstrap. The most impressive aspect of Pavel's deking ability is that he rarely ever lifted the puck. Not be cause he couldn't, but because he didn't need to. I can only imagine how spectacular he would be in the shootouts now.

Enough time has passed since Pavel's nasty break-up with the franchise. Disgruntled Canuck fans are finally at the point where they can look, reflect and admit that Pavel Bure gave Vancouver the most exciting hockey it has ever seen.
Two of the greatest plays in Vancouver history happened in the same game. Kirk Mclean made an astonishing save, and Bure scored an outstanding goal. Here's the link. (Calgary Schooled by Mclean and Bure) These historic plays were followed by the most memorable playoff run in Canucks history (so far... knock on wood). At every Canucks home game they honor one season ticket holder. 9/10 times Pavel's OT goal is their all time favorite Canucks moment.
Regardless of what kind of animosity fans once had against Pavel, it should be unanimous the the Rocket is long overdue for a Pavel Bure night.
I have that hockey card! It's only bested by my Oiler card of Mike Grier eating pizza.
