Sights to See
There's a scene in Along Came Polly in which Ben Stiller's character launches an especially impassioned tirade against throw pillows. "That's nearly two days of my life a year I spent putting pillows on and off a stupid bed!" he shouts, stabbing his sheets with a pair of scissors.
It's a sentiment Lily Ashwell finds herself sympathizing with during a visit from mom Rachel to her new L.A. home on a recent Sunday afternoon. "It's okay if you don't want to use all of the pillows I gave you," says Rachel, before jokingly adding, "I guess this is kind of like that scene in Along Came Polly."
Gentle push and pull on matters of taste is something one expects from just about any mother-daughter dynamic (especially when a new house is involved), and in this case, both parties have especially developed points of view: Lily is a 26-year-old Central Saint Martins grad whose eponymous collection, featuring '40s-inspired sundresses and quirky chambray overalls, has attracted fans such as Blake Lively. Rachel, of course, is the brains behind Shabby Chic, the blockbuster interior design brand that began in 1989 with a store in Santa Monica and spawned a nationwide chain of retail boutiques, a series of decorating books, and a diffusion line for Target—and inspired an entire generation of '90s urbanites to attempt to transform their apartments into quaint English cottages.

This banana bread is moist and delicious with loads of banana flavor!
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup shortening
1 cup (¾ pound or 2 medium) mashed bananas
2 eggs
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- Grease a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan with solid hydrogenated shortening. Dust with flour and shake out excess. Set covered pot on base and preheat at Setting # 5 while mixing ingredients.
- In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, shortening, bananas, and eggs. Beat at medium speed until evenly blended. Stir in walnuts and orange peel. Pour batter into pan. Place pan in pot.

I just wanted to ask whether you would advise TEFL for me. I have a strong interest in other cultures as well as education and it is something I have been thinking about for a while.
I also wanted to know, honestly, what my chances of finding a job are. I am a native English speaker (UK), have a BA hons degree in English Literature and History and have been working as a learning support assistant in a secondary school for 3 years. Part of my responsibilities include planning and delivering lessons to small groups of students who have poor literacy skills. I have also done a number of courses due to this job involving manual handling and child protection.
I'm looking into doing an online tefl course 120 hours (due to work commitements) as well as its teaching young learners 30 hour extra.

My understanding is too limited to answer. Is that what I am postulating ? :) As for the energy, it is the honey yes ? That infra-red cluster is just how I see it, my hives are airtight, the entrances are pvc pipe, they enter hive above floor, sometimes they look like moonshine still, I think those red holes in pick are what they would look like in infra-red ? how to describe that system ?
What makes you say the bees can make a heat bubble in a square hive? My jumbos are almost square in size. I don't see why they couldn't make a heat bubble if I closed off the top entrance and used a bottom one instead. They are already quite warm even with the top vent. I might be able to fry breakfast on the inner cover if I tried to convert them to heat bubbles.If you have enough bees, they make enough heat to keep the top of the box relatively warm no matter what the geometry I would say.
If you have less bees, you have less heat being generating. If your goal is to keep any condensation off the top of the hive, then one argument would be to minimize the surface are of the top. In that case, one could argue against a square top. On the other hand, if your aspect ratio is the other extreme (narrow rectangle), you may end up with condensation at the ends of the rectangle like in all the photos I posted in the top vs bottom thread. What is the best answer? I don't know! It's complicated. That's why I experiment.My guess is a square hive would be the most efficient geometry for wintering bees since it would allow the cluster to form the best sphere. A sphere has the minimum surface area per volume enclosed and should be the most thermally efficient for the cluster.My baby mating nucs are almost square too. That allows the small amount of bees in them to cluster in a ball shape. If I were going to invent bee keeping all over again, I might go with square hives. :)
Are you suggesting an ellipsoid is thermally superior to a sphere?

Let their diploma maintain the spotlight with the Meridian college diploma frame that provides a perfectly subtle presentation. Similar to the Classic, without extra frills, the more understated presentation of this frame is also a mid-level price option. When they're looking for a traditional diploma frame, without the glitz, the Meridian is a perfect way to honor their achievement.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by easybuckets, Oct 29, 2006.
I disagree. I think the Piston guards really struggle defending quick guards.
I disagree. Rip and Lindsey can defend smaller players, although Rip was better at steering his man into help. Chauncey and Murray are not good defenders by any stretch of the imagination, and since Murray has been primarily used as the backup PG in Preseason and the first game, this means that the opposing pivot is the one getting a serving of free chili, which allows for kickouts and dump offs. Last year, the Pistons were great at defending the 3 because they stayed home. In previous years, it seemed to be a team effort to collapse on the ball. I would rather see a team beat you from the arc than the FT line and the paint. The philosophy here doesn't seem to make much sense. It's almost like the team has a compulsive disorder brought on by the playoff heroics of Robert Horry.
I hope Jalen can react faster on the court than he can in making up his mind on where he wants to play. He already has his money. what a weirdo. And wasn't that agent of his the same one who got the big payday from Ben? Meanwhile some poor dude in Arizona may lose his job over this, as their roster is full.
WTF?? In this very thread, a couple of days ago when you thought he might sign with the Pistons you said: "Let's all send him emails asking him to sign with Detroit. He is giving away a lot of money to kids in Detroit. I don't see him as a bad apple. And I never heard of A BAD APPLE FENCE. What in the world is that"!!!!!! Now he is a slow thinker and a "weirdo" rather than a "good apple" because he chooses to sign somewhere other than Detroit. Too funny.
News: The Jalen Rose sweepstakes appear to be over. The winner? Phoenix. According to his personal blog at JalenRose.com, Rose has chosen to play in Phoenix after being courted by the Suns, Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons. Rose was bought out by the New York Knicks during the preseason. "Being waived by the New York Knicks has created an opportunity for me to find a team to play on that will hopefully get me back into the playoffs with a realistic opportunity to win a NBA Championship," Rose wrote. "I am lucky and thankful to the numerous teams that have shown interest in me over the past few days, in particular Joe Dumars and my hometown Pistons and Pat Riley and the Miami Heat. "Choosing the next chapter in my career has been difficult but I am proud to announce that I am now a member of the ... PHOENIX SUNS. I look forward to getting this season started and hope to see you at the Larry O'Brian championship trophy presentation in June. The stage is set, now its time to grind!" ESPN.com - NBA - Rose's decision: He says he'll sign with Suns
Should be interesting to see how well he can keep up with the road runners er Suns.... he'll be like that cactus by the side of the road... beep beep.
Yes he may have problems adjusting. For 1.2mil its not a bad move. What happened to Rose? He used to be a marque player in the league. At age 33 he should still be pretty good.
I can see a Delfino/Rose watch formalizing
I think an over-abundance of money has a tendency to make some people lackadaisical. Maybe JoeD recognized that in Rose and he was the one that actually closed the door in Jalen's face as far as negotiating a deal with the Pistons...yet another story we will probably never hear the truth on. None-the-less, I'm still curious as to what Jalen would have brought to the Pistons this season.
With Jalen being in a contract year he simply wanted to have the best chance to showcase himself for next year... I guess this is as close to an endorsement as Carlos will get.... We'll see who wins the battle when we play the Suns. So on the must see list we have: Ben vs Nazr Delfino vs Jalen Mo vs Delfino Delfino vs Ginobili Darko vs Sheed/Dice Acker vs Delk :P
The Suns are the perfect spot. Just ask Tim Thomas. Sorry Detroit. Your coach and system are not sexy.
I'm fine with him in PHX. Anywhere by MIAMI!
Me too, jammer. Same with Bonzi--too bad he didn't sign with us, but we avoided the worst case of his signing with Miami, and he won't even be in the same conference with us.
I noticed where Jalen choose the Suns because neither they nor him play any defense. A perfect match.
Lol! Good one. So true.
Joe is saving up for something a little bigger... a mole says it's already in the works but Joe wants to see what's on the plate first.
There are a couple of bigs out there and former #1 picks in Joe Smith and the kandi man, but hopefully JD passes on both. We don't need to recycle Smith again and the kandi man has to show that he is interested in really playing.
I don't know whose minutes he's going to take. They signed Marcus Banks as a backup point guard and Barbosa is playing great off the bench. Should be interesting to see how the minutes work out.
Actually, the Kandi man re-signed with Boston last month. So no taser-iffic twosome for the Pistons this year.
Don't know why they need another big man as long as Sheed gets into shape physically and mentally. The Nomad is no superstar but as shown last night he can do a better than acceptable job against run of the mill competition which is over half the league. Dyess is still Dyess. The problem is the 10th guy. If JMax can come up to speed, which I believe he can and will then the Pistons should have adequate rebounding against most teams. I agree I would like to see better rebounding but the only way that the Pistons are going to get signficantly better rebounding to trade one of there starters for a top rebounder like a Boozer etc. But that isn't going to happen. The question I think is, do the Pistons want another Elder assuming they can find and sign one, because that is all they will get at the best without trading away a starter, or do they want to continue to develop JMAX this year. I vote for developing JMax. One thing I have noticed over the years when discussing sports with other fans is how almost all fans seem to want to want to be a GM and engineer a trade, whether it makes sense or not. I guess that is why fantasy sports is so popular.

I'm beginning to think that my college professors weren't that smart. Maybe that's too strong of a statement. But every time I read a news article or new research item, some basic principal I learned in school is being challenged by a new finding.
In my short lifetime scientists have concluded that Columbus was not the discoverer of America, dinosaurs were more like birds than lizards, and perhaps the most important discovery for me, brain cells do regenerate and can replace themselves.
Fortunately for our industry, researchers and scientists are also looking into the recent past to find ways to secure our future. One example of this historical review is Sulfur Concrete for the Construction Industry: A Sustainable Development Approach. Authors A. M. O. Mohamed and Maisa El Gamal hope to renew interest in the yellow mineral as a cement and concrete alternative to portland cement.
As the concrete industry struggles to find ways to develop more sustainable products, these two respected researchers pose the question, why not sulfur concrete?
The concept of sulfur concrete as a viable material is not new. In the late 1980s and 1990s a committee prepared ACI 548.2, Guide for Mixing and Placing Sulfur Concrete in Construction. That interest was spurred from efforts in 1973. Researchers at McGill University (Mohamed's alma mater) developed a process that modified elemental sulfur by reacting it with olefinic hydrocarbon polymers.
At about the same time, researchers also discovered that a similar reaction would yield a sulfur soluble polymer concentrate. And the ACI committee reported that sulfur concrete was first produced for commercial use in North America in Calgary, Alberta, in 1975.
Three good reasons
Why should our industry reconsider sulfur concrete? The authors offer three valid observations. First, the price of sulfur will be at distressed levels, perhaps providing an economical alternative to higher cost cements. They report that current production levels of sulfur production exceed market consumption. And this gap of waste will continue to expand as environmental regulations continue to increase. "The 21st century sulfur industry will need to expand sulfur in nontraditional markets," they report.
Second, incorporating sulfur into construction will be viewed positively by society. Using products that would have to be landfilled for constructive purposes is good. And just as important, the authors discuss the durability of sulfur concrete. In many severe duty applications, especially where protective liners are required to extend service life, sulfur concrete can offer a sustainable product of choice.
And third, technological and material improvements may help reduce the production costs of sulfur concrete. The sulfur concrete production process requires a special plant setup. The basic equipment includes a heating device to melt the sulfur, a mixer that blends the molten sulfur with aggregates, and metal molds. The authors describe a precast operation run by Japanese engineers that in 2008 manufactured pipe and manholes for a construction project in the United Arab Emirates.
If I were involved in strategic planning for a precast producer, or a company that wanted to consider new alternative products, I would want this book as a reference. Sulfur Concrete for the Construction Industry represents the most current information on the topic, as the ACI committee has mothballed its 1993 report.
And perhaps in time, thanks to Mohamed and El Gamal, sulfur concrete production will become one of our industry's historical rewrites.

Grand Salvo live on Evenings
29/08/2012 , 10:24 PM by Dominic Knight
This evening Paddy Mann, aka Grand Salvo, performed live on Evenings. His latest album, Slay Me In My Sleep, is a song cycle - that is, every song fits together into a narrative.
A lot of the songs have lengthy names, and placed together, they tell a narrative. I thought I'd paste the track listing here to provide a sense of the story:
1. The old woman and the boy.
2. She woke at three with a thumping heart: she had dreamed once more of the night they met. (19th of May, 1928, Chateau de Chaalis, Seine-et-Marne)
3. She was also watching on the occasion of his first break in. His face was lit by the moon, and was so familiar she'd thought he was a ghost. She'd listened to him moving about the house, and when he'd fallen quiet, she had said a name aloud. There was a sudden commotion of running steps, and he was gone. In the room he had left, an album of photographs lay spilled across the floor.
4. She quietly makes her way down the stairs as he rummages away in the room.
5. She stands in the dark for a long time.
6. Two cups sit on the table, the kettle is on and the bread is toasting. As the sky lightens she falls for a third time.
7. He raises her gently into a chair. She tells him how to make a sling for her arm using a tea towel. As he works she marvels at his face.
8. They sit facing each other at the kitchen table. He notices she is missing a finger.
9. "What's that in your pocket?" "A photo" "Of who?" "I dont know"
10. With the photograph lying between them, she tells him her story and they talk for a long time.
11. The boy's story of his faithful family dog.
12. The story of May 20th, 1929.
13. How, three days later, she wandered heartbroken and ruined into a mountain village. Overlooking the village was an Abbey.
14. The lament of the regretful ghost.
15. She asks him to pack her a bag for hospital. In her bedroom he finds a great wardrobe filled with all the beautiful clothes of her youth. He also finds a single suit.
16. He leads her by the arm in the old manner out into the music and the dancing light. She asks him, so he whispers something he thinks he might have said. She closes her eyes tight then, and when she opens them again she is different somehow. The nurse waits smoking against the car at the far end of the garden, and from over the fences the neighbourly sounds of cooking and children swim on the wind.
He's launching the album at Paddington Uniting Church this Friday evening.
Here's our conversation, during which he plays two of the songs:

Sarah Blasko on seclusion and a Bulgarian symphony orchestra
07/11/2012 , 3:57 PM by Dominic Knight
Sarah Blasko is an amazing musician, with one of the most distinctive voices in Australian music. Despite winning significant plaudits for her work to date, her new album I Awake takes it to a whole new level – or that's what I reckon, anyway.
To record it, she shut herself away in the English town of Brighton in the middle of winter to embark upon a writing process that ultimately took her half a year. She then travelled to Sofia, Bulgaria, where she has some ancestry, to record with the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra in a concert hall with a rather unusual history.
The album somehow achieves extraordinary intimacy in places and cinematic expansiveness in others. Sometimes Blasko's voice soars above a full string section with woodwind and brass, and at others it's merely her accompanied by a single note on a guitar or piano. At times, the sound is so stark and the emotion so raw that you can almost hear the icy water crashing against the rocky Brighton coast.
Clearly, the experience of putting the album together was a period of extraordinary emotional intensity for Blasko, especially as she produced it herself - mixing the album in Stockholm, of all places!
In the midst of recording some intimate acoustic versions of some of her new songs with us here at ABC Local Radio (you'll hear them on the airwaves over the coming weeks), Sarah joined us on Evenings to chat about the creation of her most ambitious album yet.

text: I've been wondering something for a while now, and since this is the place where there is a lot of talent for prop making and the such, why not ask it here? I was wondering if any of you had ever considered making or know someone who has made one of the Electrostaffs wielded by the Magnaguards? I think that would be something pretty cool to make, although I could never make one as I definitely don't have the talent for it.

Know before you go: Check signs in the front of the park to see if any rides are closed for the day. Then, plan your day accordingly. Most major attractions have minimum height restrictions. There is a height stick located at the front entrance where parents and children can check the requirements for every ride in the park.
Make a plan: Most people approach theme parks in clock-wise patterns. Start in the back of theme parks and work your way forward to beat the lines. If you want ride-specific merchandise, your best bet is to find it at the gift shop that is located closest to that attraction.
Don't get soaked: If you want to ride water rides but remain dry, you have two options: wear a poncho, or bring a spare change of clothes. Ponchos are available at all Busch Gardens® Tampa gift shops. Use sandwich-sized plastic bags to keep cell phones, money and other valuables safe and dry while enjoying water rides. Or, take advantage of lockers located next to all major attractions to keep a change of clothes dry so you can enjoy the rest of your day without squishy shoes.
Stay safe, stay connected: If you are visiting the park with small children, stop by Guest Relations to receive children's wristbands. Parents can write all their contact information on the wristbands for children, just in case they become separated from their family.
Bring a disposable waterproof camera: There's wet, and there's Congo River Rapids wet! If you're enjoying our water rides and play areas, you'll have a lot more fun capturing kids' reactions if you don't have to watch out for an expensive camera. Another little tip for parents: pack a poncho or pick one up at the gift shop. It's a great way to keep yourself, your gear and a towel or two dry, and still get in on the fun.
Sesame Street Safari of Fun: Watch your kids play with their favorite Sesame Street friends at Sesame Street Safari of Fun. Some of the rides and play elements have no height restrictions, and the ones that do vary according to the individual characteristics of that element. Air Grover requires a supervising adult to ride with the smallest thrill-seekers.
Grab an autograph: After the curtain comes down at your favorite Busch Gardens shows, stick around for a meet-and-greet with the cast. Actors and dancers from shows are happy to shake hands and take pictures with guests after the performance.
Win a prize: Many games offer special discounts for multiple chances. Split the multiple turns, allowing each member of the family a chance to win a souvenir to take home.
Don't skip breakfast: Grab a map and plan your day over a steaming cup of coffee and a delectable pastry at Sultan's Sweets. Fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, bagels and muffins, seasonal fresh fruit, and an espresso or latte brewed with Starbucks coffee will get your day started right.
Beat the crowd: Most guests eat lunch between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., so plan on eating lunch earlier or later than usual. Peak meal times are the best times to beat the lines at your favorite rides like Cheetah Hunt® and SheiKra®.
Remember your parking space: Trying to remember where you parked is always a struggle. At Busch Gardens, we assign numbers and animals to each aisle. To help remember your car's location, take a picture of the aisle sign with your camera phone. Or, to save time, take advantage of valet parking to avoid parking lot congestion and the need for tram service.
Hire a guide: If you are coming on a very busy day and want to see the whole park, spend the extra money to get a tour guide. Tour guides get you to the front of the lines and have the priority seating reserved for shows and entertainment.
Beat the heat: Florida temperatures can get quite high – especially in the middle of the day – and the humid weather can drain your energy. Cool off by enjoying several misting fans located throughout the park and carry a water bottle with you to refill at water fountains located near every restroom. Don't forget hats, sunglasses and sunscreen, and save water rides, air-conditioned attractions and shows for the mid-day heat.
Remember the kid in you: Don't be surprised if you find yourself awed in the presence of a gorilla or your arms covered with goose bumps as you see a cheetah reach top speed. There's an incredible connection between humans and animals – one we celebrate here every day. Take a few deep breaths and drink that in when you feel that move through you, and you'll carry that feeling home with you.

|yeah, just weld the holes shut, no need for anything else for the small holes from emblems. If it were a decent size hole then you would need to plug weld it up starting on the edges and circle to the center. A small hole just spot shut with the welder without getting too hot that you warp the metal around it. Leave the metal cool before filling in another hole. I have seen cheap welders as low as 85 bucks at harbor frieght, but think a welder is one area you may want to bite the bullet and buy a good name brand like miller or lincoln. They are very nice to have. You don't need much of a welder for typical bodywork. I've had my small lincoln weldpak 100 for a long time, and its enough for most stuff I do. Unless you are planning on welding plate or something, a small 110 model will do for sheetmetal work.
if i understand what your asking, you want to just fill the holes for good, right ?
best way to do it is just to tackweld the holes closed, no need for putting a rivit in first. just make sure the heat is high enough so that the tackweld protrudes slightly out the backside of the panel, ensuring that the weld penetrates the steel
What to use to tack the rivets?
Hi all,
I am removing some emblems from my car. I have read that rivets then tacking them with a welder works. Seems like a good way to me. My questions are what type of rivets and where to get them and what would be the cheapest welder I can get by with to do this? All I am welding are the small holes. The rest of my car is sound.
Thanks! Walt

The 313 Project needs your Facebook votes
The 313 Project is in the running against 11 other organizations to win a $250,000 grant from the Home Depot Foundation, and your Facebook votes are needed.
The 313 Project, a nonprofit organization founded by three Wayne State University Law School students who are now alumnae — Aisa Villarosa Berg, Erika Riggs and Julianne Rivera — connects the legal community to Detroit's underserved population through pro bono, charitable and educational efforts, as well as a lot of hard physical work by volunteers.
The nonprofit won a Facebook voting contest in January held monthly by Home Depot's Aprons in Action, and received $25,000. Now all of the winning groups are vying for the grand prize of $250,000.
"The runner-up organization receives $150,000, and the second runner-up receives $100,000," Berg said. "As with the $25,000 grant, all of the grant monies received if we win will go toward The 313 Project's Detroit-based service, educational and charitable efforts, particularly our initiatives to serve veterans in need and young people impacted by the juvenile and foster care system. We're excited to move forward with these projects, and hope that you can continue to support us as we grow and expand."
The 313 Project's volunteers, including many Wayne Law students, alumni and faculty members, renovated Romanowski Park in southwest Detroit last summer; conducted many legal clinics, counseling veterans on benefits disability law, bankruptcy law and issues of family law; provided college scholarships to Detroit youth; and adopted needy families for the holidays, among other initiatives.
Visit Aprons in Action on Facebook once a day to vote through May 31.

Updated Mar 2016
Work with us
IPPR's research and ideas have been helping to shape public policy and bring about change for 25 years. Over that time we have led thinking on areas as diverse as migration, public service reform, childcare and family-friendly working, asset-based welfare and devolution of power. The Commission on Social Justice, the Commission on National Security in the 21st Century and the Condition of Britain are among the high-profile initiatives which have had a defining influence on policy in the UK. We are currently working on areas such as creating a greener and more balanced economy, reforming the public services to make them more relational, and finding ways to create more jobs and improve skills across Europe.
Our work has exceptional impact and influence. We publish more than 60 reports each year, and our website is visited nearly a half a million times. IPPR experts regularly appear on national and international television and radio, we are prominent in the national press, and we lead the sector in our use of digital and social media. In total, IPPR and its staff have over 100,000 Twitter followers.
IPPR is an independent registered charity and we can only carry out our important and influential research and events programme because of the support we get from organisations including trusts, foundations, businesses, unions, voluntary sector organisations, local government and national government departments.
Every year, we publish our annual report, which outlines how our funds are raised and spent.
There are two main ways organisations can work with IPPR:
- Funding research
- Sponsoring events
- Making a general donation to support our work
Funding research
IPPR is an independent registered charity and we can only produce rigorous research and innovative policy ideas if we can attract funding. Fortunately our reputation is such that we have a highly successful record of raising funds from diverse sources for our research programme.
We are constantly developing new projects and looking for funders to support our work. IPPR's independence is at the core of our purpose and reputation, so all our research findings and conclusions are independently developed and are IPPR's alone. However, funders benefit from working with IPPR in a number of ways, including:
- regular contact with IPPR research staff and early sight of emerging research findings
- the opportunity to engage in public policy discussion and debate with a wide range of other stakeholders
- acknowledgement of support in our publications and website and at meetings, seminars and project launches.
What IPPR can deliver:
- A respected, high-profile brand: We are the UK's leading progressive thinktank with extensive stakeholder and media contacts and a history of influencing policy debates.
- An understanding of politics and how to influence policy: We have a comprehensive understanding of politics and the political process and developing relevant policy.
- An understanding of how to present findings to a wider audience: We have over 20 years' experience of disseminating research findings to a variety of audiences.
- Robust and innovative research methods and analysis: We have specialist qualitative and quantitative researchers and are known for innovation in research methodologies.
- Stringent quality control: We place significant emphasis on quality control and have a stringent peer-to-peer quality control process to ensure it.
- Flexibility: We are accustomed to working flexibly in order to meet the needs of changing circumstances.
- Wide reach: We engage across political parties and with a wide range of stakeholders. We conduct research and influence policy debates at the local, regional, national and international level.
Our research principles:
- IPPR is a registered charity. These principles are intended to set ground rules for our relationship with funders to ensure IPPR's reputation for independence is upheld and the value of our work protected. We believe that ultimately IPPR's independence and credibility is valued by our funders as much as it is by us.
- All proposals go through a process of scrutiny before research proceeds, and we do not undertake activities simply because they may provide a source of funding.
- IPPR's research projects are driven by our charitable aims and objectives. While we encourage funders to feed into the debate and involve them in our work, acting as a uniting body to create consensus on an issue, we retain editorial control on the project's outputs and findings, and the content of seminars and publications. We are, however, happy to receive suggestions from all interested parties.
- IPPR retains copyright of all materials and publications produced as part of this project.
- We welcome our funders' involvement in our work. We appreciate that sharing of funders' expertise and experience could entail access to sensitive information. Interim project seminars are usually held under Chatham House rules, and therefore any such information will be treated confidentially.
- While funders are sometimes asked to appear on IPPR platforms, this is not conditional of financial support but will be determined by their contribution to the subject at hand.
- Project advisory groups are composed of a representative group of interested stakeholders. While these do not usually include funders, there are times where an industry representative is beneficial to policy debate.
- Our work frequently involves ministers, advisers or senior personnel from political parties and government. This is always for the purpose of furthering political and policy debate.
- In the interests of independence, IPPR may decline funding which may suggest to outside observers that the debate we are promoting has been influenced by particular vested interests. IPPR believes that our funders – which include the voluntary sector, trade bodies, unions and businesses – have a legitimate interest in policy formation and an important contribution to make.
If you wish to discuss further how you could benefit from working with IPPR, please contact one of our associate directors.
IPPR is a registered charity (No 80065). Registered 26 September 1988.
Sponsoring events
Our events programme brings high-profile figures and the brightest minds to a wide range of audiences. Partnering with IPPR to sponsor an event offers an excellent opportunity for your organisation to participate in cutting-edge debate and to profile new ideas and policy solutions.
IPPR runs a full events programme, bringing top politicians and policymakers, leading writers and academics, business figures and other influential speakers to a wide range of audiences. Events take place in London and at our bases in Newcastle and Manchester, as well as around the country. And IPPR runs a full fringe programme at the major political party conferences each year.
For further information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact Marijana Sevic, head of external affairs.
Get involved in our projects
IPPR research projects often involve public participation by individuals or particular groups.
From time to time, we seek volunteers to participate in workshops or focus groups, or to fill in surveys or questionnaires. At other times, we will invite individuals and organisations to participate in learning exchange trips or other shared research activities.

Top 10 'Binders Full Of Women' Images
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Memes!
Stashed in: Tumblr!, Women, X all the Y !!!, Futurama, Star Wars!, Lord of the Rings, Awesome, One does not simply..., gifs, Under the sea!, Montage, Your argument is invalid., Top 10, Republicans, fun, Things organized neatly., Call me maybe., KPop JPop, Boy, that escalated quickly., Hey Girl, Reaction GIFs!, The Most Interesting Man in the World, Clinton, Indiana Jones, Beyonce!, @andersoncooper, @lanadelrey, Anchorman!, Austin Powers
On women's health care, on Medicare, on tax policies, Romney's policies are best represented by his binders full of women story:
...I went to a number of women's groups and said, "Can you help us find folks," and they brought us whole binders full of women...
For context, read: The Atlantic, Binders Full of Women is a meme that means something.
So many Binders Full of Women gifs commemorate the occasion...
10. "I'm sorry, Mitt, did you actually say... Binders Full of Women?!
Anderson Cooper shakes his head...
9. The Little Mermaid sings: "Binders of Women? I've got twenty..."
Hipster Little Mermaid calls out Mitt on his "Staples agenda" to sell more binders...
Fwiw, OfficeMax does appear to have plenty of "Binders Full of Women"...
8. No one puts Hillary in a binder. She works for Barry.
Bill Clinton: "Stop the debate! I want to hear more about this binder..."
Texting Hillary Clinton: "Romney still uses binders? LOL"
Bill Clinton: "Don't change the subject! Tell me more about this binder..."
Perhaps he needs to watch Dirty Dancing again... Patrick Swayze has something to say.
6. One does not simply fill binders with women. Better put three rings on it.
Actually, that Beyonce image is so awesome it deserves to be BIGGER...
Sing it, Beyonce!!!
Jay-Z approves this message. In fact, he has 99 binders...
Fill all the binders!!!
I've lost my train of thought. Where was I? Oh, right. Lord of the Rings.
One does not simply fill binders with women.
3 Rings to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.
Mitt Romney's "five point plan" includes appointing the Eye of Sauron.
Jabba had binders full of women, too.
Fat Bastard says: GET IN MY BINDER!!!
I think Paula Deen looks pretty happy here, too.
4. Oppa Binder Style ... or is it Binder Gangnam Style ???
PSY: "My binders full of women exploded..." Well, that explains a lot, actually.
Piggybacking on that, how about a "Call Me Maybe" revival?
Hey, I just met you. And you're a lady. But here's my binder. Get in it maybe?
Where did you get a binder this big?
Christina Aguilera is a Genie in a Binder?!
Is there at least a Barbie sticker on the cover of that binder?
Geez, is Lana del Rey in that binder too? Oh em gee, she is!
Lana del Rey is difficult to keep in a binder. She always dances out of it.
I don't blame her for wanting to escape Mitt Romney's binders of darkness.
It is so dark and scary in this binder...
3. Ermahgerd Wormern! (translation from Mitt Romneyspeak: "OMG Women")
It's what's inside that counts... HALP!!!
Hey Ladies!
Here's a patriot who escaped Mitt Romney's binders full of women. Freeeeeedom!!!
And another woman barely escaped the binders...
Wait. What, exactly, are in those binders? Victoria's Secret ???
Perhaps we should ask Mitt more about his binders.
Mitt, what did you actually mean to say?
Mitt, seriously?!
Ugh. You know who else has binders full of women? Hugh Hefner.
Apparently so does Paul Ryan Gosling. *swoon*
Paul Ryan Gosling, I swoon for you!!!
Hey Girl
2. Perhaps we misunderstood Mitt and he was trying to be pro-women...
Like this Bender Full of Women!
We can do it!!!
And the number one image is of course, an old favorite...
I don't always hire women. But when I do I have binders full of them to choose from.
Mitt Romney is... The Most Interesting Man in the World.
And after all that, we discover that Mitt Romney did not, in fact, ask for binders of women.
Nonetheless, look at all the fun we've had.
This guy is such a tool that he lied even about how he got the binder...
What actually happened was that in 2002 -- prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration -- a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.
They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.
I have written about this before, in various contexts; tonight I've checked with several people directly involved in the MassGAP effort who confirm that this history as I've just presented it is correct -- and that Romney's claim tonight, that he asked for such a study, is false.
Worse, in Romney's story as he tells it, this man who had led and consulted for businesses for 25 years didn't know any qualified women, or know where to find any qualified women. So what does that say?
(btw click on "See Allowed Markup" below to see how to embed images -- it's just html)
My favorite: Mitt's Binders neatly organized http://d22zlbw5ff7yk5.cloudfront.net/images/cm-26829-0508004d0af998.jpeg">
Christina, that one packs a punch! I lol'd at the "organization" of it.
Made me go back and look at the binders full Tumblr again too.
Hey, check out this Amazon review of a real binder, hijacked by the meme http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Durable-Binder-EZ-Turn-17032/product-reviews/B001B0CTMU/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
It never occurred to me to review a product for its ability to be full of women.

Just putting that out there.
This stuff is making my costume building experience a truly enjoyable one. I might just get the notion to dig deeper into this and remake any so-so parts I come up with and turn out some movie-quality parts. Too bad I don't have the time to do my gauntlet tops in sintra (just doing the cylindrical parts) or the jet pack (not enough material left over, no time)

Jon Sarkin is a prolific artist who creates elaborate drawings and paintings filled with words and images, among other artistic endeavors. Sarkin has been painting for over 20 years. His work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, ABC Primetime, This American Life, GQ, ARTNews, and galleries in New York, Los Angeles, and around the world. He lives and works in Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
Jonathan Sarkin is a self-taught contemporary American artist.
Born in 1953 in Newark, New Jersey, and raised in Hillside, New Jersey, Jon Sarkin is the middle child of Stanley Sarkin and Elaine Sarkin Zheutlin. He graduated from the Pingry School in Elizabeth, New Jersey (since moved to Martinsville, New Jersey), in 1971. His father, a dentist in Elizabeth, New Jersey, died of a heart attack in 1972 at age 49.
In 1975, Jon graduated with a BA degree in Biology from The University of Pennsylvania, and received his MS degree in Environmental Science from Rutgers University in 1977. He received his DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1980. His older brother, Richard, was a pediatrician, while his younger sister, Jane, is Features Editor for Vanity Fair. In 1982, Jon opened a Chiropractic office in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. In 1986 he married Kim Richardson.
In 1988 at the age of 35, Jon suddenly developed tinnitus, a ringing in the ears caused by a blood vessel in his head pushing against an acoustic nerve, as well as hyperacusis, an over-sensitivity to certain frequency ranges of sound. In 1989, to alleviate the condition, he underwent surgery after which he suffered a cerebellar hemorrhage and a subsequent stroke. Jon awoke from the surgery deaf in one ear, his vision splintered, and his balance permanently skewed. Neurologists told him his brain had been permanently changed through the surgery, with parts sliced and removed to alleviate the condition. The neurons that were left had to make new connections and find new meaning.
As a result, it became increasingly difficult to maintain the semblance of his former life. Sarkin became obsessed with drawing, but different from the kinds of focused sketches he had made before the stroke. Instead of visual jokes and puns he drew before, his new works were akin to distorted cartoon faces with symbols that sometimes overlapped the features, like Jean Giraud's Moebius strips. Influenced by comics and popular culture, the images kept coming, spilling out of some dark unknown place in his brain.
While strokes are common, the effects differ from patient to patient; Jon's condition, known as "sudden artistic output", is one of only three cases caused by brain injury to have ever been documented. Jon is unable to see the world as a whole, and unable to ignore it in its infinite detail. There are no filters, no chance for his brain to slow everything down and order the world into meaningful images and scenes. His brain constantly tries to make sense of the world, and he constantly tries to make sense of his brain's failure – through colors and images and words. He cannot stop. He does not want to stop. In fact, he is afraid to stop. He is an accidental artist. He has the need to draw, to put it all down on paper. It is his engine, his purpose for living.
Jon has been featured in Vanity Fair, ABC Medical Mysteries Discovery Channel Documentary "Tormented by Genius," GQ, ARTNews, and the American Visionary Art Museum. In addition, he has been featured in Art New England, 2011.
Jon created the album art for Guster's latest album, Easy Wonderful, and he also created art for (and appears in) their music video/single "Do You Love Me?" Tom Cruise's production company is developing a movie based on his life story. In 2011, Pulitzer Prize winning author Amy Ellis Nutt wrote a book about Jon Sarkin, "Shadows Bright as Glass," for which she and Jon were interviewed by Terry Gross of NPR, Fresh Air.
In addition to elaborate drawings and paintings cluttered with words and images, Jon also paints portraiture, landscapes, and color fields devoid of complicated, overlapping images. Jon's current studio is located in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Jon lives in Rockport, Massachusetts with his wife Kim and son Curtis, and daughters Robin and Caroline. Jon continues to show his artwork around the world.

Recently I have become very interested in getting involved in hunting and fishing. I was born and raised in Southern Florida but my family has never been the "outdoors" type, so I am pretty clueless about all of this stuff. I'm looking for some veteran duck hunters that might be able to show me the ropes. The only experience that I have is a couple of hunts for elk, bear, deer (WA & CO) and a little time in the military. I have never been duck (or any bird) hunting before.
I live in Charlotte County (Southwest) Florida but I am willing to travel for the chance to learn. If anyone out there can offer some guidance or any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

India is a democratic nation but it supports the brutal dictatorial regime of Myanmar more out of fear and selfish economic reasons than concern for upholding the principles of democracy. During the 1990s, as China began making economic inroads into Myanmar, the government of India reached out to assume a role in developing the rich resources of their neighbor to the east. A combination of fear China would become dominant on its border, a desire to tap the resources of Myanamar and concern for insurgent groups in its own northeast regions who had links to Burmese rebels led India to give whole hearted support to an oppressive regime.
However, despite this abysmal record of supporting a dictatorship, India has afforded refuge to over 50,000 Burmese refugees who fled to avoid oppression at the hands of Myanmar's rulers. There are some reports, India quietly supports democratic opposition groups in hope one day they can gain power. The people of Burma suffer because India and China engage in power games to assert control in their land. Such is the manner in which powerful nations gain wealth.

Every single band that's ever attempted to do anything to make any money at all has been accused of selling out so the "sell out" tag doesn't hold a lot of water with me. I don't even know what "too capitalist" means, but they charge cover price for the zines they sell, carry a wide variety of product, postage is fair, and shipping is quick. If their "capitalist" nature is what's responsible for their reliable service then so be it. And in my opinion personal issues should remain personal and not become fodder for discussion by people such as myself who aren't close with either party. I don't know what happened and I don't even know what people are saying happened so I'll just leave it at that.
But this "you, MTV, and Microcosm are what's wrong with the DIY world" is a strange quote considering MTV has never had anything, nor have they ever claimed to have anything, with DIY culture. That's like saying the Beatles are what's wrong with the automotive industry.

Dufour 38 Classic
No problem SailorMitch. Thanks for the insight for what I will be looking for. I know this off the topic, but in general about how much does a boat depresiate? I have looked at the Beneteaus and liked them except for the small walk around area. But 2002 (new boat deck) that they are putting out looks like it will work for me just fine. Found a 2002 Oceanis 393 for 169,000. Real out of range. Do not want ot go with anything higher than 125- 135. Think this vesselmay be that low in ten months? guess I will only know when the time comes. Found a 2000 381 that I lie, but it does not have the newer deck and is in my price range. Oh...no rest for the weary LOL. Keep up the great advice guys. By the time I am getting my veesel I will know it is a perfect choise just from visiting with you all.
Dufour 38 Classic
Sorry if I mislead you or misstated something, but the 38 DOES have a bilge pump. It''s just that the bilge itself is very shallow and when the boat heels the water tends to run onto the cabin sole and not to the pump. Again, that is a very common fault of newer boats. You should check that, too, on any Beneteaus you look at.
Dufour 38 Classic
Thanks SailorMitch and Jeff H. I will do that. As for a new boat ha ha ha, I can''t afford that. I also prefer the beneteau''s as a first boat to own for a couple for years and give living on a try. But when looking at the Dufour the deck was wide and flat to walk on with no trouble. Something that I think I would need. I do not have any kind of ability to walk one foot in front of the other. I was looking at a 2000 Dufour that I might purchase five or six months from now if it is still around...but think it would e better to get the Beneteau myself. but I will go to the list and post an e-mail to Dufour and see what they say...not having a bigle pump...whew that really give me a hugh scare...I would not even be without that in my canoe LOL. thanks again guys for all your help.
Dufour 38 Classic
"Dufour factory stepped in and gave him an entire new boat".........Hmmm.....wonder what they did with that boat !?!.....probably fixed it up and sold it to some other poor unsuspecting soul.....lol
Dufour 38 Classic
If you want to read what Dufour owners have said/exchanged about the hull/deck joint leaks, go to the Dufour email list here on Sailnet and search the archives for that list. One owner did report that the leaks in his boat were traced to some of the screws used to install the toe rail. The dealer rebedded those screws to solve the problem. But at the very least that does raise questions about the design and engineering of that entire joint.
Also, post a question on the email list about any concerns/questions you have. Dufour also monitors that list and they may reply as well as current owners. For example, I mentioned before the fellow in Australia who had problems with the dealer down there with his 2000 Classic 38. The Dufour factory stepped in and gave him an entire new boat. You don''t hear of that kind of thing very often in the marine industry.
If Dufours do interest you, however, check out the new line coming out to replace the Classic line. Go to www.dufouryachts.com for a look.
Lastly, shallow bilges are becoming all too common as designers squeeze out more headroom. Go to a boat show and pull up cabin soles and see what you find -- often barely enough room for a bilge pump much less for a real bilge.
Dufour 38 Classic
I''ve only been aboard the Dufour Classic 38 at boat shows. I see them as being a step down from Beneteau''s First Series and a roughly equal to Beneteaus ''number'' series which has been improving some. I think they are a small step above Hunter and Catalinas.
From a design standpoint they are one of the few IOR hull amd rig typeform boats that are still in production, and so carry some of the charateristics that made IOR notorious. I was also very disappointed in the size and placement of deck hardware.
Hull deck joint leaks are a very serious matter for a boat that size. Boats like these count on the glue joint between deck and hull for the majority of the strength of the joint. If the joint can leak there is an area that has not been properly bonded. In a cold climate that leak is a place for water to gather, freeze and further pry open the joint, eventually unzipping the hull/deck connection.
Dufour 38 Classic
Thanks for the info guys. I am onloy 5''8" so I think the room will be okay. But this leak thing and not a large bilge...that would have me worried. Not just for saftey, but possible water tearing up the floor and wood as well as the rpoblem of resale after a coupld of years. I keep looking at the Catalinas, Hunter''s and Bene''s and most do not have a good walking around ot the front and the Dufour did, with a nice wood top (look I guess). If any other infor about the leak thing or a web site I can go to for questions please let me know. Appreciate all the response from you guys.
Dufour 38 Classic
SailorMitch, Sorry, I didn''t mean to imply that you trivialized the issue but it would be a definite deal breaker for me in a boat choice second only to keels falling off.
Dufour 38 Classic
Note that I said "not good of course." The words "minor inconvenience" are yours, not mine. Agreed that hull/deck joint leaks are bad. That''s why I mentioned it in the first place.
Dufour 38 Classic
I haven''t seen the Dufours in person but I don''t see how you can characterise hull/deck joint leaks with water sloshing around in the cabin as a minor inconvienence. The hull/ deck joint is critical weak link in the strenght of the hull.

|jon, that is AWWWESOME! is there some way you can find out how to contact that city counsel so we can all write letters of support? That would be the greatest thing that could ever happen. maybe somebody will want to condem all the justices houses who voted for that decision!
One thing that`s important to remember here, it all revolves around 1 thing. Classic Greed. If we look back on history, every nation that was once top dog didn`t stay there, and why is due to the same thing, Greed.
Were the richest nation on earth, and almost the biggest as well, we got people here from all over, and they all want 1 thing, more money, he who has the money, has the power and that`s what it comes back down to again, Greed, the dollar. Greed will be this nations undoing, it`s almost like what there doing in my hometown that used to be so small that is now growing out of control, people come in, buy land, wait a few months, resell it and make a $10,000 profit, sooner or later, the bubble is going to pop. Land out in the country where I live used to be give away cheap, now it`s right at $8,000 a acre or more, more and more people are flooding in, when the major buisnesses get done with this state, it`ll be like the northern states, overpopulation, no jobs, crime will go through the roof, and the clowns at the city council are steady screaming "more more more" get all the people and buisness in here you can. Funny thing is, we let major corporations use us, they moved to my state for cheap labour, and when the cost of living gets to high to meet there pay scale, they pull out and move to another country, and if they can find a way to fire you so they don`t have to pay your retirement all the better. Lastly, in the end I`ll say the same thing over, sooner or later, the bubble is going to pop, and when it does it ain`t gonna be pretty.
Hmm, How quickly will that ruling be reversed if he gets the land? I'm going to bet that the voting council has enough skeletons in the closet for the judge to sway the vote in his favor.
Seems to be a controversial ruling.
In an interesting twist, a private developer in Weare, New Hampshire is now looking to use the strength of the ruling to build a "Lost Liberty" hotel on 34 Cilley Road -- the present location of the home of Supreme Court Justice David Souter. More info: http://www.freestarmedia.com/hotellostliberty2.html .
Yes, I grew up in a trailer park and I grew out of it but I did not forget where I came from. We had a church, a playground and we spoke to our neighbors. it wasn't a bad place to live.
I can see this particular Governor's statement ringing in the ears of every, developer owned, politician in the country.
Greedy bastards.

This Is Communism! Nothing Less.
The United States fought tooth and nail in the past to keep this country free from communism as was prevalent in the Soviet Union only to install its own brand of communism. In a Communistic Government, everything is owned by the state.
How long will it be before the U.S. Government owns all the land, property and businesses in this country? You will notice that I did not say OUR anywhere in the above question. Why? Because I feel that we are rapidly losing all our rights and privileges.
Here in San Antonio, a few years back when the Mayor decided to strap the city for a new Dome so the Spurs could have a nicer place to play basketball than the one they were playing in, invoked the eminent domain and bought up several city blocks of homes and businesses for as little as they could and the ones that refused to sell were condemned. The new dome was built and after only a couple of years the Spurs officials fussed and claimed that the dome was too large of a building for them so the SBC (spurs basketball center) was built and they moved out of the dome. San Antonio does not have a major league football team, but we have a large building to play in if we ever do get one. Now the Alamo Tomb sits there more unused than used and costing thousands upon thousands of dollars to maintain.
Ladies and Gentlemen the time has now come to organize and elect officials and spokes persons to fight this situation before we lose everything we own and are forced to work for the government for whatever compensation it is willing to give for sustenance. The first order of business should be to fight for the reversal of the orders that allow the Supreme Court Justices to be appointed for life. I believe they should be elected to office with term limits. I guess I should get off my rant before I get caught up into some name calling. LET US ORGANIZE TO SAVE AMERICA. (OSA).
I nominate Zel Miller for our spokesman.
just sayin.....
The only bad part about this is you CANNOT vote out the Supreme Court Justices.They are locked in.We are having one hell of a time trying to get anyone appointed now,because of the fear from the overturn of Roe vs. Wade.(Different discussion)
So in turn,if it were to go up for a vote on a nominee who would overturn this moronic decision,he/she would NEVER be seated.
as my biology teacher put it 8 yrs ago or so, "the governments got you by one nut and the businesses got you by the other".
So,,, as we all know this is/was NOT Constitutional what can we do? We really only have one true option and that is to "petition our government for a redress of grievances".
Although this is not something that will affect us today or tomorrow our children could be in serious trouble if it progresses to the point of being like Europe several centuries ago with landlords and little to no private ownership.... and at an extreme it will or even has become somewhat communist {even bordering on Fascist,.. ie. people not knowing what's best for them but the government does } with the government/businesses becoming nearly the some entity.
I knew this was coming with the advent of Homeland security. We must now, at this most crucial point in time, realize how important individual rights are, above all other times in history, and rise up and demand from our government to recognize these rights.
There is no way that these seizures in any shape way or form come under the definition of "probable cause".
And let us not deny but rather use the often forgotten, yet innumerably strong, Ninth Amendment to the fullest of it's capabilities!
**** The Supreme Court!! That is my new catchphrase!!!
Its snowballing.. you know how many "developers" have been on the phone since friday??
I am also willing to bet that the city will not pay the owners the fair market value of their buisness,instead they are going to pay the minumum allowed for reclaiming a "Brown Zone" since at one time it was a dump.
They are doing it to a crap load of business's in Syracuse. Making room for a technology park thats located over a capped dumpsite. Instead of them buying the business owners out , the developer is using the city's power of Eminent Domain to his advantage. He has also been promising the Destiny Project for several years now, and has YET to deliver ANYTHING. He keeps whining and blaming the City of Syracuse for dragging its feet. The last mall he built (Carousel Mall) is still under legal scrutiny for not paying contractors, yet the city politico's are back in his pants.
And now they want to jump in bed witha Tech Park?
No one in town will bid this developer. He has to get people just to change the lightbulbs (on top of the mall's antennae) from OHIO !
This happend to a guy I new in my home town. He had a small shop that he worked on cars. Great mechanic and very nice. The kind of guy you could trust.
A big store came in and wanted his shop and a few others right next to it. He fought it for allmost a year then was given the choice by the city to either sell at what they would pay or they would condem it. So what choice did he have? He has another shop but now he is not at the edge of town but about 5 mile out of town. He lost customers because he is not easy to get to now but the city dont care. This is a small town. 9 thousand people and most are retired.
If the city wants something you have they will take it and there is nothing we can do. What ever happend to are rights? I thought this was why people came to America was to have something in life. Not have it so the goverment could take it. Is this why so many people fought and died in wars. To loose are freedom to have something and then loose it to someone else that wants it?
If things keep going like they are I could see some sort of civil war going on soon.

HEAD COACH Holly Warlick(Opening Statement)
"It was a great win for us. It was a tough place to play. We did some good things. We hit our layups and we hit our free throws, but we probably could have done a little better. We battled and towards the end -- we do a battle in practice, it's a persistance drill -- I said, 'If we can get a couple of stops in persistance drill, we've got it.' We did and we held onto the ball. Hey, I'm proud of them battling. It didn't go perfect. It didn't look good all the time, but we battled through it and I'm proud of it."
(On if the team played any man-to-man in the win)
"Very little -- probably about a minute. It was just to kind of throw them off to imagine us switching defenses. It was not enough for you to see that it was a man to man."
(On the matchup zone and trapping the MSU players in the corner)
"If you watch them, everything was going to the corners and they were pulling us out and we'd either go inside or go to the corners. So I just thought let's just start trapping down in the corners and it kick started our defense, got us rolling offense and it was huge. When I came in today, I told the staff, 'You're going to think I'm crazy. We're opening up with our 2-3 zone.' I just felt like I wanted a change. You know how you get a gut feeling? I had a gut feeling and we went with it."
(On shooting the ball in the second half)
"We hit some big shots and we got the ball inside when we needed to. I thought Andraya Carter, when she turned the corner on that zone and got an and-1, it was huge for us."
(On backdoor cuts)
"We talked a lot about it. The first play of the game we had a backdoor and we just missed the layup. We talked quite a bit about them overplaying it and they did go backdoor. Hey you can talk about it, but you've got to have a kid step up and do it and I thought Andraya did it. We did set Cierra to go backdoor and she had a little look. But with Andraya -- that's just basketball instinct and that's what we've got to get to. We've got to get to where we're playing basketball. We get so uptight when something isn't going our way, but we need to play the game. We've got to cut down on our turnovers. There were just so many unforced errors and walks and double dribbles. We've got to go back to the drawing board. We hadn't done a lot on our offense, so I'll take the blame for that."
(On if a win like the one tonight could loosen up the team heading into a tough game against Notre Dame)
"No question. When they'd get close, we'd get nervous. We battled and I was proud of them. I have a heart on my lapelle and I just thought that every game we're going to play with heart. I thought if they just keep seeing the heart on my jacket, it would remind them. I thought they battled."
SOPHOMORE FORWARD Bashaara Graves(On if her injury set her back a little)
"Definitely. I couldn't move like I wanted to move and I was trying to push through the injuries because they weren't really injuries. They were tweeks here and tweeks there. I just tried to push through it and it just frustrated me even more." (On she felt she was going to be able to provide that energy boost early in the game)
"Yes, definitely. I thought I could come in and have that energy. Mercedes started off really good, both Mercedes and Izzy. Mercedes has been starting lately and she's been doing a great job. Me coming in off the bench -- I'm fine with that. As long as we get the W, I'm fine."
(On if she takes pride in her passes into the low post)
"Yes I do. I know Izzy's down there working, so I'm going to get the ball to her. That's my first look every time before I look for my own shot. When Izzy or Mercedes is down there, I'm probably going to get the ball to them."

I am surprised there is not tutorial in the soft parts templates for the cape. This is one part of the costume that no one seams to give much thought to. As I am researching the cape, the one thing that strikes me is that I have yet to see a fan cape that drapes like the original. I, like others, am of the belief that the ESB cape was part of a blanket.
I picked up an old wool blanket that I recently cut and dyed. It drapes like the real thing and just seams more correct. I will post a picture soon, but I have notice that the ESB cape appears to have seams. One running across the stripe. one on the leading edge and one that appears to make a shaped shoulder. Check out the picture. Thoughts?

The Latino Policy Institute (LPI) is a non-profit organization committed to generating and communicating non-partisan data on Latinos in Rhode Island. This is an extension beyond reports that brings important topics to life.
In February 2014, United States Housing Secretary Julián Castro came to Rhode Island through the office of Senator Jack Reed, to tour Central Falls and other communities to see first-hand how federal investments are improving neighborhoods and helping low-income families. During the Secretary's time in Rhode Island, HousingWorks RI and Latino Policy Institute at RWU hosted a lunch with prominent community leaders and policy experts in attendance. The two policy groups shared findings on housing and housing affordability.
What if I told you that a single policy initiative could enrich our communities, inject a catalyst into our economy, strengthen our families, and secure our border all the while bringing *in* money for the federal government? (http://nyti.ms/N7Mk4c)
You might call me crazy.
But such a plan exists. It was the comprehensive immigration bill that passed the U.S. Senate with 68 votes last summer. A bill that has languished in the House for the last 500+ days.
Such is what gave rise to the executive actions announced by President Obama last night. The three major steps he will take to address our broken immigration system are: (1) invest in border patrol (2) facilitate student/worker/entrepreneur visas, and (3) deprioritize the deportations of parents who have been here more than five years, pursuant to a criminal background check & back taxes. These proposals will lift the threat of deportation from an estimated five million mothers & fathers and long standing members of our communities.

Carrying on from my thoughts in Part 1: It's time to start deploying purely standards-based infrastructure outside the data center; data center protocols are just starting to be created for a converged and virtualized world. With the amount of tested and deployed standards protocols, there's no excuse for networks to be locked in to a certain vendor with proprietary protocols when standards-based network solutions provide access to compelling volume economics, flexibility to adapt a much wider array of solutions, and relief from hiring specialized talent to run a science project. Although many organizations understand that standards-based networking provides them with the flexibility to choose from the best available solutions at a lower cost of ownership, they still feel trapped. Listed below are three top shackles and the keys to open them up:
