There are a TON of posts about inserts right now. Show us your inserts! How do you make them, what do they look like, how many layers of what?
FAQ - Inserts!!
Taking a vote, in your opinion, what makes a better insert: hemp, microfiber, bamboo or zorb? I bought some flour sack towels to use as flats but wasn't a fan of all the folding so I am going to make my own prefolds. I am trying to decide what to put as the center soaker section. Ideas ladies? I am also going to try different layers for my gdiaper inserts. The ones I made with flannel just don't hold much. (very early attempt, while trying to recover sewing skills.)

I'm contemplating an insert - I usually just use an infant prefold but if I can find something even a little trimmer I'd be thrilled. I want to do a trifold insert (like I do with my prefolds): flour sack/hemp fleece/flour sack. Trifolded that would be 6 layers cotton 3 hemp fleece. Too much? Not enough? I guess I should just whip one up, but what do the experts think?

Well, my 9 month old is fine with 3 layers of hemp, 6 layers of thin cotton jersey, and 1 layer of thick cotton terry overnight. So I'm guessing what you laid out would be fine for a newborn. I've heard MF is prone to compression leaking and should be paired with something else, like a flat. Back when I was also using MF for my newborn, I always paired it with a flat or prefold for overnight and never had a problem. I didn't use them during the day because the bulk just wasn't necessary.

OBF will be more absorbent for the thickness than OBV, but OBV feels less damp. I'd use both, with OBV as the top layer, unless you plan to use a feel-dry fabric on top. The OBF I have hasn't pilled much on the smooth side, but of course the fuzzy side is pilly, that's what fuzz does.

The flannel will work great and with a couple of sheets, you should get loads of inserts. I'd try anywhere from 4-8 layers. Maybe do a couple of inserts that are 4 layers and you can put two together for extra absorbancy and faster drying time. Or do a bunch of 2 layer inserts and just layer them as necessary for absorbancy.

ABC News' Michael Falcone reports:
TROY, Mich. — At a campaign event in this Detroit suburb on Saturday, Rick Santorum called President Obama a "snob" for wanting all Americans to go to college.
But according to an archived page of Rick Santorum's 2006 Senate campaign website, Santorum said he was "committed to ensuring the every Pennsylvanian has access to higher education."
It's also unclear exactly what comments of Obama's Santorum was referring to.
Obama has said that "higher education cannot be a luxury; it is an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford." And according to the White House, the president wants "every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training."
ABC has reached out to the Santorum campaign for clarification.
At an Americans For Prosperity forum in Troy on Saturday, Santorum was making the pitch that he is the best candidate for working-class Americans and noting the importance of reviving the country's manufacturing sector, as he often does.
He began his "snob" riff by saying: "Not all folks are gifted in the same way," he said.
"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob!" Santorum said to loud applause. "There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor."
Santorum said Obama doesn't just want Americans to go to college, "he wants to remake you into his image. I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image not his."
Saturday was also not the first time Santorum has accused the president of "snobbery" on the issue of higher education. He did so as far back as January.

A contemporary art exhibit highlighting the relationship between the Cuban government and the Archdiocese of Mexico City will open on June 24 at the Cathedral of Mexico City.
According to the archdiocese, the exhibit – featuring images of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre – was on display in Havana in December of 2011 and was later shown in cities across Cuba as part of the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Marian devotion.
The collection of art created by Cuban artists will be on display at the Cathedral of Mexico for one month.
Cardinal Norberto Rivera of Mexico City, as well as representatives of the Cuban embassy in Mexico and the Mexican government, is expected to attend the inauguration.
Our Lady of Charity is the patroness of Cuba and was a central focus of Pope Benedict XVI's recent visit to the country in March of this year.
Church leaders in Cuba have underscored the importance of this Marian devotion in the formation of the identity and faith of the Cuban people throughout their history.

CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian police intercepted 7 tons of cocaine headed to the Dutch port of Rotterdam in one of the biggest such busts in years.
The narcotics have a street value of at least $250 million and were found stashed in 6,900 tiny packages in a container in this Caribbean port city along with bottles of pineapple conserves. The packages were stamped with logos such as "Yamaha" and "KIA" indicating the various criminal gangs behind the shipment.
Rodolfo Palomino is the head of Colombia's national police and said it was the biggest seizure since 15 tons were found along the Pacific coast in 2005. Colombia is one of the world's largest producers of cocaine.

England captain Alastair Cook is an injury doubt for the second ODI against Sri Lanka, and Alex Hales has been called in as cover.
Cook has a tight groin and faces a fitness test on Sunday morning to determine whether he can lead England at Chester-le-Street.
Twenty20 specialist Hales, uncapped in the ODI format, will travel up to Durham on Saturday night but may be released back to county duty with Nottinghamshire if Cook is available after all.
An England and Wales Cricket Board press release read: "Alex Hales has been added to the England ODI squad for the second Royal London One-Day International against Sri Lanka as cover for Alastair Cook, who has right groin tightness.
"Cook will be assessed ahead of the game tomorrow."
Should Cook be absent, the likelihood is that Eoin Morgan - who led the Twenty20 side last week in place of the injured Stuart Broad - could again step in as captain.
England lead the series 1-0, with four matches to play.

Is it possible to crack the public key encryption algorithm?
Is it possible to create a PKI encryption key that is unbreakable? IAM expert Randall Gamby weighs in.
Is the public key infrastructure (PKI) unbreakable if properly installed and operated?

The answer to this question is: Yes. It is possible to crack the public key encryption algorithm. The crucial element in any security tool like PKI is the cryptographic or hash algorithm used to generate the technology's private and public keys, or digital signatures. In this case, it is the length of the keys used that defines the strength of the algorithm. By using a limited bit length to generate the keys, or the digital signature, it increases the likelihood that a brute-force attack -- where an intruder tests every possible key combination to break the cryptographic or hash algorithm -- will succeed.
Remember that if an attacker uses brute force, the computing power needed to break the algorithm increases exponentially with the length of the key. For example, a 32 bit-length key requires 232 combinations; a key of this length can be easily broken with today's computing power. Even a 512 bit-length key can be broken by large governments or university research groups within a few months. In theory, any cryptographic method can be broken by trying all possible combinations. Fortunately, at the moment, a PKI system using long-length keys (i.e. 2,048 bits) is practically unbreakable due to the level of computing power and time it would take to break the encryption -- if, as you mention, it's properly installed and operated.

I have photographed many couples on their wedding day, each one unique and beautiful, each one filled with love and joy. But a few stand out–not for the breathtaking details (though there are always plenty) or size of the guest list (which can be impressive), but for the overflow of love. I think it is a hard thing nowadays to plan a wedding (with all that entails!) and not be overwhelmed and lose your sense of what the day is really about. But for Christian and John, their wedding was truly their own and a sweet reflection of their deep love for each other and their families and friends.
It's impossible to not get caught up in their joy. Nothing was going to faze them on their wedding day…not even a car accident that prevented all their guests from arriving on time (yes, that happened). Because the day really wasn't about starting on time or perfect weather (which we got!) or any other detail. It was about Christian and John getting married. And I'm so glad I was a part of their day to document their beautiful story. A big congratulations to Christian and John!
Here are a few of my favorite moments from their day.

De Zwinger in Dresden is oorspronkelijk ontstaan in het jaar 1709 als een door houten gebouwen omgeven feestterrein voor toernooien en andere hoofse spelen van de Saksische adel. In de jaren 1710 tot 1719 bouwde Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann onder keurvorst Augustus de Sterke de zandstenen Zwinger. De paviljoens en galerijen aan de walzijde deden dienst als oranjerie. Het vermoedelijk meest gefotografeerde motief van de Zwinger is de Kronenpoort. Het barokke kunstwerk van de Zwinger wordt gekarakteriseerd door nog meer godheden uit de Griekse mythologie. Naast het walpaviljoen bevindt zich het nymfenbad. Dit kunstwerk van fonteinen behoort tot de mooiste barokke broncomplexen van Duitsland. In de binnenruimten van de Zwinger zijn tegenwoordig deels musea gevestigd. Zo behoort de porseleincollectie in Dresden tot de grootste keramische verzamelingen ter wereld. Een ander hoogtepunt biedt de wapenkamer met een kostbare verzameling kostuums en pronkwapens. Ook een bezoek waard is de Sempergalerie, die van 1847 tot 1854 ontstond onder leiding van de architect Gottfried Semper en waarin tot op de dag van vandaag de belangrijkste collecties schilderijen ter wereld uit de periode van de renaissance tot en met de barok worden gepresenteerd, onder andere het beroemde schilderij van de 'Sixtijnse Madonna' van Raffael. Niet ver van de Zwinger nodigt de Frauenkirche uit voor een bezoekje. Deze werd gebouwd van 1726 tot 1743 in de stijl van de barok, werd verwoest tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog en van 1994 tot 2005 weer opgebouwd met behulp van subsidies en donaties. De kerk geldt als een van de architectonisch waardevolste kerkgebouwen van dit tijdperk in Europa. Ook de 'Große Garten' in Dresden met een totale oppervlakte van 147 hectare nodigt uit voor wandelingen en om rustpauzes in door te brengen.

The Christmas Stollen (fruit cake) of Dresden is famous all over the world. It was already baked in the 15th century, and in the 18th century the Stollenfest was born. In 1730 August II the Strong ordered the Bakers' Guild of Dresden to make a giant 1.7-ton Stollen. In 2013 the giant Stollen was 4 tons heavy and was paraded in the traditional way on the back of a horse-drawn carriage through the city. At Striezelmarkt, one of the most beautiful Christmas markets of Germany, the giant Stollen gets sold for a good cause. This year it took 2,5h hours and the whole Stollen was gone. For sure you can also buy smaller Stollen at Striezelmarkt and everywhere else in Dresden during Christmas time. The Stollenfest always takes place on the Saturday before the second Sunday in Advent. A fun event to get into Christmas mood!verder lezen »
Eierschecke is the Saxon interpretation of cheesecake. It often comes with an apple topping. In the 14th century "Schecke" was a piece of clothing that men would wear, much like a long robe with a tight waist. The waist would divide the robe into three pieces (top, waist, lower skirt) much like the dessert, which consist of three different layers. You can get them at all the bakeries so make sure you plan for a coffee & cake break while visiting!verder lezen »
Erich Kästner Museum
Remember Lindsay Lohan in the role of a young girl finding out about her twin sister in the 1996 movie "The Parent Trap"? One of the many movies that's based on one of Erich Kästner's great writing. The author was born in Königsbrücker Straße, not far from the place that now houses the Erich Kästner mirco museum – not your everyday museum. Much like in a traversable treasure chest you can walk through the museum and open draws that will reveal bits and pieces of Kästner's life and work. The deeper you dig through photos, letters, old theater programs and books, the more you'll want to read!verder lezen »
Dresden Hygiene Museum
If you're into biology and like watching documentaries on the human body this is a must see when you're in town! The Hygiene Museum Dresden is one big adventure to explore the human body. The permanent exhibition displays a large part of the museum's extensive collection, which is made accessible to all ages with the help of media units and interactive elements throughout the museum. The museum itself dates back to the early 20th century. It was first opened by a local businessman and manufacturer of hygiene products. The museum was also the first museum to host the International Hygiene Exhibition in 1911. Since 1930, the best known object is probably the "Transparent Man" - a life-size human skeleton with artificial internal organs as well as arteries and venes. The "Gläserne Mensch" (literally: glass human) has also become a symbol for the museum itself.verder lezen »
Frauenkirche - Church of Our Lady
The Frauenkirche is actually a relatively new sight – at least for for Dresden locals. The Lutheran church vanished from Dresden's skyline in the devastating bombings of the city during World War II in 1945. The ruins where then kept as an anti-war memorial and restoration didn't starting until after the reunification of Germany in 1989. 60 years later in 2005 it was finally reopened. The costly reconstruction of the dome was financed with donations. One very large donation came from Günter Blobel, an American with German roots. He had seen the Church of Our Lady just before the city was bombed and took an interested in restoring the city. In 1999 Blobel won the Nobel Prize for medicine and donated the entire amount of his winning money towards the rebuilding of the Frauenkirche and other restoration works in Dresden. If look at the church from the outside you'll spot some dark stones in the walls – those are the original stones.verder lezen »
The Dresden Opera House, more commonly known as the Semperoper, is only a short walk from the famous Zwinger complex in Dresden. It's another prime example of baroque architecture and amazes millions of visitors even just from the outside. If you want to see it from the inside you can either go on a tour or if you have the time and an interest in Opera get some tickets for one of the shows at night. If you look at the main entrance from the front side you'll find two huge statues. One is of the famous writer Friedrich Schiller (right hand side) and the other one depicts Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Both of them where part of the Weimar Classicism, a cultural and literary movement in Germany in the 18th century. If you walk around the building you can spot some more statues of famous thinkers and artists such as Shakespeare, Moliere as well as Roman and Greek gods.verder lezen »
Zwinger Palace
The Dresden Zwinger is one of Germany's best known and most magnificent baroque buildings. It was commissioned to Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann by Augustus the Strong in 1710. He demanded the architect to include an Orangery for growing oranges, which in those days where called golden apples. As the name already suggests, golden apples where a symbol of power and influence and thought to bring good fortune. Most likely the reason why August the Strong had his people plant over a thousand plants. Today the Zwinger accommodates several museums and stages for music and theater shows. Even if you don't go inside the museum make sure you check it out from the outside and you'll see what Goethe meant when he described it: "I entered this sanctum, and my sense of amazement transcended every conception that I had ever previously had."verder lezen »

Gladwell includes caveats about leaping to conclusions: marketers can manipulate our first impressions, high arousal moments make us "mind blind," focusing on the wrong cue leaves us vulnerable to "the Warren Harding Effect" (i.e., voting for a handsome but hapless president). In a provocative chapter that exposes the "dark side of blink," he illuminates the failure of rapid cognition in the tragic stakeout and murder of Amadou Diallo in the Bronx. He underlines studies about autism, facial reading and cardio uptick to urge training that enhances high-stakes decision-making. In this brilliant, cage-rattling book, one can only wish for a thicker slice of Gladwell's ideas about what Blink Camp might look like. --Barbara Mackoff

JL33 Light Blue Reviews
Excellent Results
We ordered five of the 5x8' rugs and had our carpet guy cut them to size. He did a great job lining up a 90-degree turn after the first landing, and lining up the pattern on all of the stairs. This rug makes an absolutely beautiful pattern on stairs, if it's done right, with the steps making a continuous vine and leaf pattern going up each step into the top of the next one (we used a waterfall drop with a felt pad underneath for best results). Choose a good, careful carpet layer if you use these for stairs. Carpet quality is excellent, it's thick, with a strong backing. It's one month old, yes it sheds a bit, but we just vacuum it up. - JW, San Antonio, TX

Hi all,
Just curious if there's a way of tracking who deletes files and when on 2003 server, I'm not wanting to do it with pupil data purely with staff data.
I seem to have spent a good few hours recently restoring files that have magically vanished and as usualy nobody is admiting fault. I have a feeling it's the same 3 or 4 people who are at fault.
Would auditing be able to do this?

Intel Offers Fifth Quad-Core Processor
Intel is offering OEMs a fifth quad-core processor earlier than expected.
The Santa Clara, Calif., company announced Dec. 11 that it is has started shipping a fifth chip that is part of its Xeon 5300 family of quad-core processors. The company officially introduced its first quad-core offerings on Nov. 14.
Intel had planned to introduce this particular processor in February 2007, but increased demand by OEMs led the company to roll the chip out early than expected, an Intel spokesperson told eWEEK.
The latest Xeon 5300 processor runs at a speed of 2.0GHz. The chip offers 1333MHz per second FSB (Front Side Bus) architecture, an 8MB L2 cache and a TDP--an Intel term that refers to how much heat a chip has to dissipateof 80 watts. The price is set at $690 per 1,000 units shipped.
In addition, Intel also announced that it will unveil two other quad-core Xeon processors for servers in 2007. The first chip is a low-voltage chip for ultra-dense deployments and a TDP of 50 watts. The second chip is designed for single-socket workstations and servers.
Click here to read more about Intel and its quad-core technology.
These two new quad-core chips will be shipped out in the first quarter of 2007, the company said.
The new server chips that Intel introduced in November were all built on a 65-nanomater manufacturing process and offered 1.5 times the performance of the companys dual-core chips and four times the performance power of a single-core processor.
The original four chips that were introduced offered speeds ranging from 1.6GHz to 2.66GHz and prices from $455 to $1,172 per 1,000 units shipped. Intel also announced a client quad-core processorthe Core 2 Extreme quad-core QX6700for high-end systems.
By the time that Intel announced its new processors, OEMs such as IBM, Dell, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard and Verari Systems had all announced that they would start introducing products with the new quad-core chips.
The announcement also helped Intel beat rival Advanced Micro Devices to the punch by offering its quad-core first.
In the past few weeks, AMD had pushed back by offering analysts a demonstration of its quad-core processor and announcing that it had started making some of its dual-core processors using a 65-nanometer manufacturing process.

Is there a sign when you get to the loop? I don't know I want duplicate Ray's Whole enchilada ride at 23 miles, but when I get to the loop it would make a nice turn around point.
I don't want to get stuck on 3-4 hr ride on a summer moring. Just because Ray can do it in 2:30 does not mean I can. I'd rather shoot for the first part to the loop and then back in 3hrs or so.

Q:Looking this for my daughter 16th birthday for a photobooth. is 46X88 enough for visitor to take picture? & also does it stand itself?
1 answer
A:The 46 x 88 is 3.84' by 7.34' - could be large enough depending on the camera and how close photographer is to subject. That size and the next is cardboard and does have a stand. The other options are vinyl and paper and do not.
Q:Can we have the colors changed to match one of the other color Masquerade themes you offer? Ex. Purple and silver with the black background.
1 answer
A:I do apologize but the colors can not be changed.
Q:Which back drop would be better for pictures to be taken in front of the vinyl or cardboard or the others with this particular backdrop?
1 answer
A:It is all personal preference and size. The vinyl will have a shine to it and comes in many more sizes versus the cardboard background with a flatter color appearance.
Q:Do you have any photos you can send me of it personalized
1 answer
A:The Red Feather/gold Mask Background Illustration can be personalized.
Q:Can I order this board with the picture vertical instead of horizontal? We want people to stand in front of it for pictures.
2 answers
A:I'm sorry but this Red Feather/Gold Masks Backdrop is only available horizontally. We cannot custom make this backdrop vertically due to the way these masks are already laid out.
A:Vertical view wouldn't work. It' so large horizontal that kids can stand in front of it for a pictures
Q:How would I hang this in a hotel room
1 answer
A:If you are wanting to purchase the photo real board you could prop it up, however if using the vinyl backdrop you would need to use sticky tack to adhere to a wall without damage or use string or rope to loop through the grommets to hang.

"Ive always liked cooking," Som said. "My mom and my sister love cooking. I started baking just recentlymaking pies. It was actually after a breakup. It was around the same time as the Keri Russell movie, Waitress, in which she goes through a breakup and makes pies. I was just like Keri Russell. Apple pie is a good place to start. First, you need to get the crust right, and then youre in the crack house. I did some other fruit [pies] and went on to tartes."

The beauty of nature includes all that is called beautiful, as its flower, and all that is not called beautiful, as its stalk and roots. Indeed, when I go to the woods or the fields, or a send to the hilltop, I do not seem to be gazing upon beauty at all, but to be breathing it like the air. I am not dazzled or astonished; I am in no hurry to look lest it be gone. I would not have the litter and debris removed, or at the bands trimmed, or the ground painted. What I enjoy is commensurate with the earth and sky itself. It clings to the rocks and trees; it is kindred to the roughness and savagery; it arises from every tangle and chasm; it perches on the dry oakstubs with the hawks and buzzards; the crows shed it from their wings and weave it in to their nests of coarse sticks; the fox barks it, the cattle low it, and every mountain path leads to its haunts. I am not a spectator of, but a participator in it. It is not an adornment; its roots strike to the centre of the earth.John Burroughs†

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. State Sen. Charlotte Burks says she will not seek re-election next year.
The Monterey Democrat didn't discuss her plans after office, but she said she's satisfied that she's served the 15th District with "honesty and integrity."
Burks has served in the state Senate since 1998. She made Tennessee history when she was elected as the first ever "write-in" candidate to the upper chamber after the death of her husband, State Sen. Tommy Burks, who was gunned down by an opponent.
Burks is the second Senate Democrat to not seek re-election. Lowe Finney, who chairs the Democratic caucus in the Tennessee Senate, announced in July that he won't seek a third term.
Burks did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press seeking comment.

Look, let's just face it, OK? Hard-rock power balladry is never gonna go away. As much as some of us might want it to, as much as it routinely falls out of vogue, there are always going to be bands interested in doing it — and hungry fans salivating to eat it up whenever they can. If you count yourself as one of them, you're probably in luck with Cinder Road. A Baltimore-area five-piece that seeks to achieve an "old-school rock" sound with "new-school validity," Cinder Road hits the mid-point between '80s-styled hair metal and the so-called "modern rock" of the '90s with bull's-eye precision. If you liked the sugar-coated earnestness of Extreme's "More Than Words," the blooze-boogie stomp of, say, Junkyard, and the overt formula of Stone Temple Pilots, then Cinder Road's major-label debut, SuperHuman, has all the flavors you already know you like. Say what you will about its crass careerism (the band put out a call for people taking pictures of themselves buying the album); at least Cinder Road is being upfront about what it wants, declaring flat-out that its "radio-friendly" music "pushes the right buttons to win-over the masses." Well, alrighty then. You can't really argue with that.

Edinburgh, Unite...
Now for a fun summertime duo! I made this skirt out of a mid-1940's pattern and the halter top from a 1950's pattern (Simplicity 3879). I started the halter top when I first started sewing and it languished as an UFO for quite some time. I found the instructions to be a bit confusing. However, when I revisited it one year later it made perfect sense (probably because I had done quite a bit more sewing in that interval).
I made both the halter top and skirt from a cotton broadcloth fabric. I chose the fabric to match a pair of shoes and purse I had (from one of my favourite online companies Ness
My partner, David helped me make the matching belt from a scarf! I used a belt kit that I got from A Fashionable Stitch
I've been able to wear this outfit quite a bit in the past week or so with the amazing weather we are having in Scotland! YAY for sunshine!! :)

Great outfit and perfect accessories with it. And this colour is just made for you ! You look fab in purple :-))

Thank you so much! I really do love it!
Aug 4, 2011, 11.32 AMby Deborah Zimmerman
Charming! Something about the 1940s styles is that it is alluring without showing too much. Those of us with larger "assets" appreciate a nice halter dress pattern that doesn't show everything. Your interpretation of this dress is very pretty, and the accessories look great! Congratulations on a job well done!
Aug 6, 2011, 10.21 AMby debilovessewing
Thank you so much! I agree that this is the perfect halter—flattering yet supportive as well! I can wear it to work under a jacket and also out on the town afterwards! 1940's styles rock!!
Aug 4, 2011, 06.40 AMby monikapullerits
Everything goes together very very well! Love the shoes-belt-purse combo! :) And pink lips ;)
Aug 6, 2011, 10.21 AMby debilovessewing
Thanks :) I'm quite pleased with the matching belt!!
Aug 4, 2011, 03.36 AMby irmchen
You really look fantastic. The matching accessoires are great – how did you make the shoes?
Aug 6, 2011, 10.22 AMby debilovessewing
I didn't make the shoes or purse…they are from my favourite company (Ness) but I did make the matching belt from a scarf they had in the same tartan line!
Aug 3, 2011, 11.05 PMby debilovessewing
Thanks so much!!! I really love a good tartan :)

Pedagogies and learning in cooperative and symbolic communities of practice: Implications for and from the education of Australian show people
Groups and organisations are not automatically sites of effective and transformative pedagogy and learning; such outcomes are most likely to occur when entities become communities of practice (Wenger, McDermott & Snyder 2002). One conception of community focused explicitly on the facilitation of pedagogy and learning is cooperative community, centred on five principles (Johnson & Johnson 1998). Another productive notion of community is as a symbolic construction, centred on members' shared consciousness and boundary maintenance (Cohen 1985).
One community that demonstrates the pedagogical and learning potential of cooperative and symbolic communities of practice is the Australian show people (Danaher 1998, 2001). Following generations of educational marginalisation, this community participated in a specialised program within the Brisbane School of Distance Education between 1989 and 1999, and since 2000 its members have benefited from having their own Queensland School for Travelling Show Children, established under Education Queensland's auspices.
This paper maps and portrays enactments of the cooperative and symbolic communities of practice in the school and on the show circuits. It identifies specific strategies that underpin the pedagogies and learning made possible in those communities of practice, and it considers possible implications of such pedagogies and learning for other educational contexts and groups.

In response to failed legislative candidate Wendy Rogers' letter, "Move was constitutional," I ask your readers to consider the facts about independent redistricting.
In 2000, Arizonans voted to take the power of redistricting out of the hands of politicians and created an independent redistricting commission (IRC).
Republicans like Rogers argue that the IRC gerrymandered the maps, but they misunderstand the term. Gerrymandering is a practice that manipulates geographic boundaries to establish a political advantage for a particular party or candidate. Specifically, extremists in the Legislature have attacked the proposed competitive Congressional District 9, which would encompass parts of Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix.
In such a competitive district, where numbers of Republican, Democrat and independent voters are balanced, candidates will be forced to listen to the interests of the larger community, not just one political party. The constitutional criterion of competitiveness is, in fact, the opposite of gerrymandering.
Rogers is correct that the Constitution does allow the governor and Legislature to intervene in the redistricting process.
However, this serious step is to be taken only for "substantial neglect of duty" and "gross misconduct in office." Neither Brewer nor the Republican senators who voted for (Colleen Coyle) Mathis' removal have provided any such evidence. The bipartisan authors of the 2000 voter-approved law creating the commission have publicly stated that the "gross misconduct" grounds for removal were written for egregious misdeeds like bribe taking and influence peddling -not the partisan displeasure of our governor and the Legislature.
