The Dior Exhibition: The hit show of the summer
J'adore Dior
One of the hottest exhibitions in Paris this summer is the Christian Dior retrospective at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, celebrating 70 years since the creation of the fashion House of Dior. MLP's Jennifer Hamerman took her 8-year-old daughter to this fashion extravaganza and the two of them report back!
We knew the Christian Dior exhibition was going to be a highlight for this summer in Paris. And when we arrived at the museum, the show's popularity was certainly confirmed. The queue for those without advance tickets snaked along the entire length of the building. So that is our first tip for you: buy an advance ticket so, like us, you can be in the much shorter queue!
Bringing fantasy and glamour back to fashion after WW2
My daughter loves clothes and sketching designs for dresses, so we thought this show would be ideal. The fact that the museum is right next to the Tuileries Gardens also makes it an ideal destination for a sunny Saturday. We talked a little bit about how Christian Dior emerged as a designer just two years after the Second World War ended, so his beautiful, decadent designs were like a vibrant breath of fresh air after years of deprivation that Paris suffered during the war. He brought back the pride that Paris had in her glamorous pre-war years.
A feast for the eyes
The exhibition itself is just incredible. There are 300 hundred exquisite gowns beautifully displayed. As is always the case at this museum, the exhibition is perfectly curated with imagination and flair. One of our favourite sections was at the beginning. There are a series of huge famous black-and-white photos of models including a young Queen Elizabeth wearing Dior. As each photo lights up in sequence, you can see that actual original gown illuminated behind the photo.
My daughter's favourite section was the Colorama, with Dior designs collated by colour, a visual feast. This museum has used the same technique with last year's blockbuster Barbie exhibition and it is captivating for kids to see huge displays categorised by colour.
The most elegant gift shop ever
My girl and I are unashamed fans of museum gift shops and have often been known to spend more time in them than in whatever exhibition we were supposed to be seeing. Today was no exception. We both gasped as we stepped into the Dior-themed gift shop at the museum. It really was like stepping into an Avenue Montaigne boutique, with jewellery and other high-end gifts elegantly displayed. We emerged with just two postcards which was quite an achievement given the temptations on offer.
Workshops for families and kids
This museum is excellent at providing great workshops and tour for kids and families. Their Dior season is no exception. Mr Dior's Big Garden looks wonderful for the 4 – 6 year-old age group and runs 11 and 18 July, as well as 28 and 31 August. The Colorama Dior, also for 4 – 6 years, looks fantastic too, and runs 12 and 20 July, as well as 29 August. Both of these workshops are also adapted for older, 7 – 10-year-old kids on different dates so check out the programme. There is a wonderful looking course of five 2.5 hour sessions for 11 – 14-year-olds to learn all about fashion design. You should expect that all of these workshops will take place in French but do encourage your kids to take the plunge and give it a go. They always bring the subject matter to life so much better that trailing around with your parents.
Guided tours in English
There are also two guided visits in English planned for September and you can reserve in advance for the 7th September evening tour as well as the 9th September afternoon tour . These are not especially aimed at children but are a great opportunity for you to hear all about Christian Dior in English.
While you're in the neighbourhood…
This museum is literally on the edge of the Tuileries. So think about taking the kids to the trampolines or the wonderful funfair that is in the gardens for the summer. If you want to splurge, think about lunch at Loulou. It's a restaurant affiliated with the museum with a wonderful outdoor space right in the Tuileries. Also, keep in mind what a small and walk-able city this is. My daughter spotted kids carrying their telltale yellow Lego bags… so off to the Lego store at Les Halles we went, a mere ten minutes away. Let's just say we emerged from there with rather more than two postcards.
Musee des Arts Decoratifs, 107 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris

Some days you just can't get it right. Here's a piece I'm working on, BEEN working on, hard at it for a "few" WEEKS now. There is a deadline.
Fantastic poem-all women should read it!
Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou.
PhenomENal WomAn,
not womEn
or phenomally,
which I don't think is a word. And it better end up reading
"I'm a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman. That's me."
It's 100 lines long (OK, it's only 52). Client wants 3 copies (plus 1 for me, for next year's library show?) I CHOSE to lay it out with multi styles and sizes of lettering and spacing; it needs to be EXCITING! FORCEFUL! which also means there's multi sized guidelines in SO MANY uneven places that so far I've spent 3 days just lining & erasing & lining the copies, even using the Ames Lettering Guide and the light table. It's 18"x22" on Waterford Saunders HP watercolor paper (not cheap).
Mediums so far:
*Walnut ink
*watercolor pencils
*luminescent acrylic
*Hiro Bronze pointed pen
*#3 1/2 Mitchell nib
*#2 Mitchell nib
*ruling pen
So, this ends up being "an experimental exercise" or we could call it a rough.

Having recently turned 60, this morning I received an NHS letter regarding bowel cancer screening. Apparently, I will be sent a kit in the post in a couple of weeks and I will need to take a "sample" and return it in the post. My first thought was well, with all the c**p I get through the post these days, it will be nice to send some out for a change!!
On a more serious note, I am very impressed with this. I usually start feeling anxious about how I'm going to get to the various screenings you're invited to go on, cervical, breast, etc., due to be pretty immobile these days. So I will definitely be sending my sample back., although I'm quite surprised this isn't against Royal Mail rules, being a hazardous and offensive material!

I haven't played guitar for 2 and a half weeks
which is an AGE
due to multiple string breakages, intonation problems etc. but now I have brand new strings and perfect setups on all my guitars - woohoo
it took me bloody close to 3 hours mind you
during which time I was reading the London drinks thread which mad me sad
but know I'm going to plug in and rock - woohoo, zonino and other such nonsense!
err now*
after I've had a cigarette
i havent played in about 3
weeks, which is bad, i have been suffering from a lack of creativity
guitars are teh sex
all I need now is a new band!
Man, haven't played my guitar since
Boxing Day! oops. And I'm crap at it too so I should practise as much as possible. But everytime I pick it up it sounds out of tune and I can't be bothered to tune it and stuff.
I can't even remember how to play anything :(
i haven't played mine for about three months.
i have no money for strings and i just borrowed my friend's SG and i have fallen in love with playing again.
I very rarely play these days
I find playing alone a bit boring, and I havn't got the time/energy to lug my gear around to play with other people.
I had fun playing
I misses the thrill of calloused fingernails on fretboard - and I played my 65' framus strato deluxe custom for the first time in ages - now THAT is a sexy guitar!
what's with the typos
missed* - I missed the thrill
I thought you were just typing in a Cardiff acent
"I misses I misses the thrill of calloused fingernails on fretboard I does."
maybe I was
looking for a pic of my framus on the net but can't find one :(
this is the closest
a '64
but mine has a full chrome scratchplate instead of that tortoise bit in the middle
if you don't mind me asking, why? That's like, ages. Over two years!

This bathroom by the interior firm Maison Inc, made me giddy - the design geek in me came out in full force. :)
This beautiful wallpaper (can't remember the source) I remember seeing it in different colors. There is a lemony yellow that is so gorgeous that would work in so many rooms in a home. This bathroom sent me into the rabbit hole of lovely bathrooms.
Okay these definitely are very girly and flowery....so of course me likee. I can see giving a guest room this type of a feeling, or in my dream cottage home. I like the soft palette and the playfulness about them.
I like the antiqued hand mirrors hung on the wall in the picture above. I can easily see taking aspects of the third picture with that painted mirror and incorporating it into a girl's bathroom.
These two have an old world charm with a few surprise details. Check out the pink painted file cabinet - now that is brilliant.
One of my dream destinations is Greece, specifically Santorini, with all those white washed houses and blue roofs. This reminded me of that. Lately, to put it mildly I have been obsessing about Santorini, so you can imagine my delight when I saw this. So beautiful, so dreamy!
White and natural wood always works in my opinion, and in this bathroom it is no different. I really like the wood beams and that window.
How about that view? :)
What is your bathroom style? What will your ideal bathroom look like? You can see that I like a bit of everything, but I think there is a commonality among all the bathrooms. There is a feminine vibe, clean lines, and most of all an air of indulgence, just what a bath should be!
Have a beautiful Friday everybody!

Hassan al-Banna
According to former CIA operative Robert Baer, Hamas was an offshoot of the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (172). Founded in 1928 by an Egyptian schoolteacher named Hassan al-Banna with the expressed purpose of purifying Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood is anything but a benign Muslim organization (172). According to Baer, the Brotherhood "is another of the cauldrons from which al Qaeda emerged" (172). Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the architect of the September 11 attacks, joined the Muslim Brotherhood at the age of sixteen and attended the Brotherhood's desert youth camps (Mintz and Farah, "In Search of Friends Among Foes"). Ayman Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's deputy, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Egyptian branch (ibid). According to Seymour Hersh, the Brotherhood may have even been involved in the September 11 attacks. Hersh states: "Many of the September 11th hijackers had operated out of cells in Aachen and Hamburg, where Al Qaeda was working with the Brotherhood" ("The Syrian Bet"). The Brotherhood's hatred of the United States was clearly expressed in a 1991 internal memorandum written by Mohamed Akram for the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood. Entitled "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," the document states that the Brotherhood's activities in the United States represent:
a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.

Just received my G0555LANV last week. Saw works great, only downside is the T25554 riser block kit has been delayed until August 23rd as of right now. Bought some timberwolf blades in 105" in anticipation of the riser kit, but cannot use them. Stock blade stinks, any suggestions on a cheaper blade while I wait until the riser block gets here?

Preschool bulletin boards are a great teaching tool as well as decoration for the classroom. They can be used to teach the children about holidays, seasons, a particular subject, shapes, colors, or just for fun. An interactive bulletin board is especially effective as it can be used for weeks on end to get across a particular objective.
For example, if you are learning about different animals, try making a bulletin board that is sectioned off into several different habitats. (Examples might be desert, ocean, forest, barnyard, etc.) Have the children place each animal in the correct habitat. You could even have different animal tracks to match the footprint each animal makes and see if the children can figure out the clues.
Seasonal bulletin boards are important in teaching children about the different seasons of the year. For fall, you could have each child trace their hand on colored paper to make "leaves" for a large tree. This can help them with tracing and cutting skills. If they're learning to write their names, have them practice on their own leaves. A similar idea can be used for Christmas where each child gets to design and make ornaments for the Christmas tree on your preschool bulletin board.
Preschool children may have a basic understanding of a few major holidays such as Christmas or Easter, but bulletin boards are a great way for them to learn about other important special days throughout the year. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Mother's Day, and Earth Day can also be easily incorporated into a preschool bulletin board and can teach your preschoolers valuable lessons about history, as well as other important values such as conservation (Earth Day), gratitude (Thanksgiving) and love (Valentine's Day).
If you are learning about various shapes in your preschool class, try making a bulletin board that has plenty of multi-colored shapes attached with sticky tack. The children can move the shapes around and learn about making patterns at the same time they are learning their shapes!
With a little creativity almost any bulletin board can be interactive. Children love seeing their handiwork showcased. It makes them feel important and special. Having them "help" you make different materials for your preschool bulletin board may mean that it won't look absolutely perfect, but it will save you a lot of extra work!
Having your students help with your bulletin boards has other advantages too. For example, when certain parents come in with a lengthy list of "helpful suggestions"(translation: everything you are doing wrong) you can distract them by saying, Oh look what little Jimmy made in class today! He is so talented! You must be so proud! Problem averted.
In all seriousness though, bulletin boards are a great way to showcase each child's development as they learn. Even simple skills like coloring, drawing, gluing, tracing, and cutting are big milestones during this phase of life! You may just find that your preschool bulletin board quickly becomes the focal point of the room. Now go brainstorm and you'll be amazed with what you can come up with!

to be a classical actress. But I've always loved making people laugh
- at school I was quite mischievous and bit by bit I found myself working
more and more in comedy.
"Then I met up with Ben Miller and Alexander Armstrong and we
started doing lots of stuff for the Paramount Channel.
"Meanwhile I appeared in Drop the Dead Donkey and Red Dwarf and
I eventually ended up as part of the regular team in Smack the Pony."

Shimmering Hibiscus
It could be dejavu but I felt like I have done this design before.
Very simple as I am just easing my way back into doing my nails regularly since work has just been too crazy for the past few months....
I did a shimmer glitter coat over my base color for the nails with the decals.
Kinda reminds me of origami paper :)

About this item
What unites and what divides Americans as a nation? Who are we, and can we strike a balance between an emphasis on our divergent ethnic origins and what we have in common? Opening with a survey of American literature through the vantage point of ethnicity, Werner Sollors examines our evolving understanding of ourselves as an Anglo-American nation to a multicultural one and the key role writing has played in that process.
Challenges of Diversity contains stories of American myths of arrival (pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, slave ships at Jamestown, steerage passengers at Ellis Island), the powerful rhetoric of egalitarian promise in the Declaration of Independence and the heterogeneous ends to which it has been put, and the recurring tropes of multiculturalism over time (e pluribus unum, melting pot, cultural pluralism). Sollors suggests that although the transformation of this settler country into a polyethnic and self-consciously multicultural nation may appear as a story of great progress toward the fulfillment of egalitarian ideals, deepening economic inequality actually exacerbates the divisions among Americans today.

Seems that you had a great time in Yunnan.
Any hornbills near Nabang?
...I'm thinking of going back there in a few weeks to look for Great (having seen Wreathed and Oriental Pied there last year).
Also, where did you see the Scaly Laugher and B-b B-eater? (Two birds that have elduded me in several visits to the area.)
|Saturday 9th January 2010, 05:08
A taff living in Sichuan
Afraid we didn't get to set eyes on any Hornbills - but heard stuff we thought to be possible Hornbills in both Nabang and the new Botanic Garden area at Ruili.
Blue-bearded Bee-eater turned up at Nabang - and we only got eyes on that because a flock of Grey-headed Parakeet were feeding in the same trees. Greater Flameback was also hanging about - so it was case of which way to watch now!!!!
Still got a stiff neck from all that canopy watching!!!!
Smaller (more conventional) Bee-eaters are far easier - that Green Bee-eater was just 2 minutes down the track from its huge Blue-bearded cousin.
The Scaly Laugher turned up in Gaoligong - Meggie got one in a flock of Red-tailed Laughers and I got a solitary single bird - but I'm afraid no pics of this species!!!!!
And a Happy New year to you Marmot - Yunnan wasn't all sunshine - early mornings still bought a bit a frost in the higher areas - that picture of Grey-headed Lapwings and tropical Yunnan Ice is at Tenchong - but the days soon warmed up to shirt-sleeve temperatures.

Checking out more pics today - our list jumped by one.
I knew we had Coral-billed Scimitar Babbler - we got it briefly at Nabang - when it was part of a mixed flock that crossed a driving track. Meggie managed a pic through the windscreen. We also thought we got the same species at Ruili Botanical gardens - but closer inspection today makes it Red-billed Scimitar Babbler - big differences being the lack of black over the white eye-stripe - and longer, more slender bill.
We're also thinking of going back soon - blue skies of Yunnan against our present Sichuan grey - being one of the big draws. And we missed out on a lot of birds - another Scimitar Babbler eluded us - Slender-billed - that's a Gaoligong bird.

I can see why you'd want to go back to Yunnan - looks like you're having a great time there!
Good work on the two scimitar babblers, they are close, ("red" "coral" - hmmm) - but it looks like you've found important differentiating features. Looks like the slender billed will be more distinctive. Anyway, fun to find a bird in retrospect like that!
Thanks for sharing all the pics and stories.

Retrospective ID from photos
This has recently and famously enabled several 'firsts' for Britain.
I've done this a few times (with raptors, cuckoos and parrotbill, to name some families)- usually because the LCD monitor on my camera is too small. When edited and on the PC monitor, things become much easier.
As long as you saw the bird in the first place (!) and attempted some kind of ID, I think this kind of retrospective 'tick' is OK.
I'm now prepared to be shot down.

Without Digibirding we'd have never got this famous photo at Gaoligong - I know this species intimately, but never picked up that faintest of hint yellow brow until I was playing with the PC - it gave me quite a retrospective shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mike - when I get time I'll write something about the practicalities of our Yunnan birding. We had particular good fortune at Gaoligong - we lucked into a wonderful farmhouse hotel which was in an eco-village just a few Km bellow the reserve entrance. It was very Cheap - just 30RMB/night and 15RMB a meal/person - and they had good guanxi with the 'entrance-fee' people in the reserve.
Ill post up the telephone number to this place - but at the moment were out in NE Sichuan - doing our bird survey work - so it'll have to wait a week or so.
The place we're at isn't in the same class as Emei - it looks like Shi Jin had a great trip out there - but it still has some nice birds.
Here's some of Meggies photos from today
Asian Barred Owlet - those eyes are rather piercing to say the least
Slaty Bunting - first time, in this location, we've seen this great bird.
Red Billed Leothrix - a species which could be a contender for the title of 'world's cleanest bird.' This one was part of a flock that was taking a communal wash in a small stream. This isn't the first time we've seen Leothrix having a mass bath - but today was very impressive, since the weather was pretty nippy!!!!

Hi marmot - yes our Leiothrix (glad you put me right on my spelling) - are pretty smart. They're also very sociable - and will preen each other.
The last couple of days have also been pretty good out at this site - we caught Bonelli's Eagle here again - this time a pair of birds.
Today we got a very brief female Golden pheasant.
And a new Sichuan tick for us - Scaly Thrush
Also some nice bird pics -
Chinese Thrush - this bird is set off very nicely in that berry bush
Chinese Bamboo Partridge - we caught a flock of 7 feeding on the driving track. at first we tried to take pics through the windscreen - however they stayed put when we opened a window but it was touch and go - those electric windows are darn noisy - our chickens didn't like the noise.
Moustached Laugher - hard to get this pic - we got the bird to come in closer by playing some Laughingthrush Chatter on the MP4. Within 2 minutes we had been joined by 20 Greater-necklaced Laughers - whoes recording we were playing.
Black-chinned Yuhina - this guy just asked for his pic to be taken!!!!!!

Love your Chinese thrush picture too - excellent spots and berries - these are really "spotty" birds (and one I've actually seen in person ). Nice work on the other birds as well.... wish we had yuhinas up here - very attractive birds too.

Leiothrix and Partridge- an unlikely combination
Yes, Gretchen, the Leiothrix is a truly lovely looker- although surprisingly (?) common in places for such a beauty. Here's one I took on my trip with Sid and Meggie last April.
I'm impressively gobsmacked by the CBPartridge pix. I've heard them dozens of times, in various places, but only seen them once- in flight. To get such fantastic shots is amazing.
|Monday 18th January 2010, 10:24
A taff living in Sichuan
We were lucky with those Bamboo Partridge pics - the usual contact is through its very distinctive 'beeper-ray' call - but occasionally they will show!!!!
Today was a bad day that turned good. Still out in NE Sichuan - our destination was totally clouded out - to such an extent that the small, winding mountain road was getting a tad dangerous. So it was a turn-around and back down the valley for a bit of river watching.
It turned out to be a brilliant move - with a female Baikal Teal as our reward. We found her in a pretty grotty stretch of water - together with 5 Common Teal- where earth movers and front-end loaders were dredging the river for stone and sand. A lot of the rivers in China are having their natural banks totally trashed in this manner - but in the long run it sometimes seems to create some good habitat for Waders and Duck - even if it does destroy landscapes and the natural river ecology.
Our pix show well the facial spot that ID's the Baikal - the flight shot shows how they differ from female Teal.
We also watched the Ducks face a natural danger - as a Peregrine did a long lazy fly-by. But the ducks sat tight on the water - and the Falcon flew on.

Sid and Meggie,
Great to see all your Yunnan photos.
Your description of avoiding fast-moving lorries while distracted by great birds brought back Gaoligongshan (Pianma Road) memories for us.
VERY jealous of the Rufous-necked Laugher - we still need this one.

Female Baikals don't get to look more clear cut than than - nice one - and great to run into it in such a random place. I agree with Shi Jin about the flight shot - never seen such a good comparison.
Ps John is being coy about his own Baikal Teal - also found on a river nowhere near a proper wetland - one of the coolest patch birds ever in HK in my opinion!

I am often amazed on how many different faces the activity of bird watching can have - apart getting the ID of certain species or subspecies there is so much fun in just watching the birds: Yesterday and today I went to Qinglong Lake in the eastern outskirts of Chengdu, as this could be the only place left where our ducks usually spent their winter. They disappeared from all the other lakes and riversides around Chengdu this year.
And I first was rewarded with a Common Coot that was hunting (!) two Little Grebes. Everytime it was close by they dived off and the Coot apparently was puzzled. When they came up again, the hunt started from the beginning. The Coot also dived a few times... without success, as both the Coot and the Grebes emerged from two different spots again. They really featured a twenty minutes circus show.

However, this wasn't the only reward during these two days.
For me the biggest rewards was - no - not the high number of ducks (I'd guess between 1000 and 1500) and that we finally found them, but a bird I have been looking for up in Aba Prefecture/Amdo and where else it is supposed to show up according to reports but without success yet:
Chinese Grey Shrike
It was just hanging there in the air, heading down to get some food, coming up again, standing still in the air again ... great!
Unfortunately we just arrived at the lake five minutes ago and didn't prepare the camera in time. So, no image of this rare bird.
So were the other ducks: they were too far for giving a clear picture. Only the Coots, Grebes and Mallards stayed closer to the waterside.
Nevertheless, there were so many ducks in the middle of the lake and their existance gave me a good feeling (nobody knows what will happen to them in the next year).:
Common Golden Eye, Mallard, Tufted Duck, Spot-billed Duck, Northern Shoveler, Eurasian Wigeon, Common Teal, Garganey, Common Pochard, Feruginous Pochard, Common Merganser, Great Crested Grebe etc, and probably much more.
Most of them were far in the middle of the lake and asleep. I am sure that there must be Bear's Pochard and Baikal Teal amongst them as well.
Here's another picture of a bird I took a few days before Christmas:
Robin Accentor
That was on a trekking tour at the west side of Minya Konka (=Gongga Shan). These birds (a loose flock of about 20 birds) gathered around a five-houses-village at about 4100m(asl). And they were everything else than shy. The missing eyebrow and a clear line between the orange and the grey at the breast makes the difference to all the other accentors.

Hi Sichuan Jiujiu
Really liked your account of the coots and little grebe. It's so much fun watching things like that.
Very well done on finding the shrike. Was it one of the Tibetan (sub)species - ie the one you find up in Aba - which apparently come off the plateau in winter and get all the way over to east China?
Warm regards from a very cold Beijing!

Yes, Jiujiu, an interesting story about the coot - I have never seen anything like it, so it's quite interesting. I'm not familiar with the Robin Accentor either - very nice pic! Thanks for sharing your finds.

Hi Shi Jin! I guess the shrike was coming from the high plateau. However, I always failed to see it there. So I just can guess.
Regarding accentors: This area is really great for accentors: YulongXi, Konka Monastery, Tsemet Pass...
The trip this winter gave me Alpine, Brown (see image below) and Robin Accentor. Roufous-breasted you find there all over the year and also almost everywhere else.
The Maroon-backed Accentor was very common in October: got about 100 views of it within four days.
So, winter is the season for these birds. In Summer they are dispersed and mostly much higher up (>4500m).

HAMPTON — Selectmen want voters to see just how close the Budget Committee's vote was in its decision to not recommend the scaled-down $4.7 million two-fire station plan that will go before voters at the March 13 election.
HAMPTON — Selectmen want voters to see just how close the Budget Committee's vote was in its decision to not recommend the scaled-down $4.7 million two-fire station plan that will go before voters at the March 13 election.
Selectmen voted 4-1 Monday night to include the actual vote tally of the recommendations made by them an the Budget Committee on the warrant for voters to view at the polls.
The Budget Committee voted 8-7 to not recommend the two-fire station project, while selectmen unanimously supported it.
This is the first time the board has decided to include the tallies on the warrant. Each warrant in the past has only included the language "recommended" or "not recommended" by selectmen or the Budget Committee.
State law gives selectmen the authority to add the numerical tally even if a town hasn't adopted including tallies on the warrant.
Selectmen Chairman Richard Nichols said the impetus behind the move is to give voters a clearer picture because there were so many disagreements between the two boards on which warrants to recommend.
The majority of the Budget Committee also voted against a $140,000 drainage article and two insurances policy warrant articles to provide funding for the Mounted Patrol Unit and mosquito control in case the town's operating budget is not approved. "The one thing we have been in agreement on is the collective barging agreements, which were supported unanimously," Nichols said.
By showing the vote tally, Nichols said it would show voters the amount of support there is for the new collective bargaining agreements.
"If your going to do it for those articles, you have to do it for all of them," Nichols said.
Selectman Bill Lally supported including the tally, and he was in favor of it several years ago. Selectman Jerry Znoj said it's a good for transparency.
"I have no problem standing up for a recommendation or non-recommendation, and I have no problem with tallies," Znoj said.
Selectman Rick Griffin, however, was opposed.
"I think we should do it like we always done it," Griffin said.
Budget Committee Chairwoman Eileen Latimer said she didn't have an issue with the selectmen's decision.
"Our votes are what they are," Latimer said.

This album is one of the rarest gospel/modern soul albums ever. Until recently it was never seen even on demanding wants lists. Many collectors knew only her 1987 Lp entitled "Island of my mind" on Bouvier records in 1987. Fay Hill born in Los Angeles to Tom Hill and Hedy Hill, former gospel singer. At an early age, Fay sang before many church audiences and people became aware of the rare musical gift that she possessed. Her warm and vibrant voice seemed to capture the audiences and as she grew it has ripened to full bloom. She recorded this album in 1981 on Witness For The Lord Records. Arranged and produced by Leroy C.Lovett. I chose three tracks entitled "I know who you should see", "Any load you can handle" and "I don't know you".
Fay Hill - I know who you should see 1981(Sample)
Fay Hill - Any load you can handle 1981 (Sample)
Fay Hill - I don't know you 1981 (Sample)

The track "I know who you should see" also released as a single on the same label in 1981 . The 12 inch is very expensive. (over 500$).

Queensland's government will trial a special domestic violence court so victims don't get lost in the system.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the Domestic and Family Violence Magistrates Court will start hearing cases at Southport in September.
She says the court is needed because victims often lose continuity when seeking justice or get lost in the legal system.
"This is a specialised court, it is there to help women, it is to navigate their way through complex legal processes," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"If you have one person (magistrate) hearing one matter, there is consistency and they understand the complex issues."
She said the government was in discussions about which magistrate would be appointed to the court.
The location has been chosen in Southport, Ms Palaszczuk said, because it's an area with a very high rate of domestic violence and many victim support services already exist there.
The premier agreed to the trial after talks with prominent campaigner Rosie Batty and because it was recommended in former governor-general Dame Quentin Bryce's report into domestic violence, handed down in March.
Labor will also establish a Domestic and Family Violence Death Review and Advisory Board, expand a duty lawyer service to 14 locations across the state and set up two 72-hour crisis shelters for victims in Brisbane and Townsville.
The initiatives announced on Tuesday in response to Dame Quentin's report would cost the government $27 million, with a further $4 million to be announced.

WorkKeys Works – Assessment Correlations
Recently, while attending an internal meeting I was faced once again the "assessment correlation issue." The meeting was about the development of entrance requirements for a new post-secondary program that could include both credit and non-credit courses. During the meeting, I gave a brief explanation as to what we were doing with WorkKeys and local employers who may hire the graduates of this new program. We had a general discussion about wanting to assist students get the most out of a course of study and not frustrate them because they may not have been academically prepared prior to the course. And then I was asked the frequently asked correlation question: "Are there equivalent scores between TABE, CASAS, or ACT College exam and the WorkKeys levels?"
The official ACT answer to this assessment correlation issue has consistently been that there isn't a direct correlation between any of these different approaches. It is felt that they are basically measuring different things and for different purposes.
However, a non-ACT study was conducted by an eastern state college system that determined that a WorkKeys' level 5 in Applied Math and Reading for Information was equivalent to an ACT College test score of 21-22 in math and language. This was based on their review of the two assessment system scores that had been taken by a person applying to a college system. Additionally, a few colleges in states like Missouri and Georgia have developed correlation tables comparing WorkKeys to CASAS and TABE.
We will be discussing how to develop a WorkKeys and other assessments correlation study as part of this new program. It will be a pilot project where we would collect as much assessment data as we could on the participating students. We would then attempt to start our own correlation matrix that could be used by other new or existing programs throughout the college or even state.
However, it is also understood that we will also attempt to reduce the total number of assessments we make students take in the future. We will also encourage ACT to take a national approach to this. Of course, a national approach will also increase the accuracy of the correlation because of large number of participants.
I will keep you updated on our progress with this venture in this blog. I welcome your ideas, thoughts and experience with this "assessment correlation issue" from both an employer and student perspective, contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A photonics company slated to bring hundreds of jobs and millions in investment to Rochester won't be moving into Eastman Business Park.
In March 2016, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced two companies, 1,400 jobs and $1.6 billion in investment for Rochester. Last year, the state cancelled the deal with one of the companies, Photonica.
Now, nearly two years later, News10NBC has confirmed that not one job, and not one nickel, will be coming to Rochester. Avogy, the second company, has filed for bankruptcy and gone out of business.
"We've got money set aside to recruit other businesses that align with photonics, said Howard Zemsky, president of Empire State Development: "As time goes on, those companies will provide exciting opportunities for Rochester and we'll go after them."

And now, a poem:
by Robyn Levy, 1993
Somewhere over the landfill…
a chorus of forests
surround our souls
it sings:
flush unbleached paper
down toilet bowls
write recycled letters
swap second-hand chairs
fax politicians
recite world peace prayers
eat organic
from a breeze-blown hammock
pedal your way across town
collect pine cones
volcanic stones
listen to nature's sounds
illuminate the dimly lit
plant some tulips in the T.V. set
ban clear cutting
protect water sheds
dream multi-cultural dreams
from benevolent beds
harmonize with the spruce and the pine
do it now, while there's still time!
(from a t-shirt my mom bought me back when I was 15-years-old)
This weekend, I definitely did my part for the Earth Day celebration. On Saturday, James, Stef and I biked to Oakville on the Waterfront Trail. It was awesome! I didn't think I could do it, but four hours of pedalling was easier than I thought.
And then today, Stef, Kylie, Bex and I started the garden. We raked away the stone layer and dug up the dirt beneath into four 4'x4′ beds. That's as far as we got. There was SO MUCH TRASH to dig up. It was unbelievable. Someone must've buried their garbage there. Plastic bags mostly, because whatever was in them turned to rot… so fortunately, the soil in my back yard seems very rich and moist. With LOTS of worms. I was happy about that. A good start to the garden, I think.

Gazi omitted from Bangladesh World Cup probables
Offspinner Sohag Gazi, who was recently suspended from bowling in international cricket due to an illegal action, has been left out of Bangladesh's 30-member, preliminary squad for the World Cup. Gazi has been undergoing remedial work on his action, since his suspension in October and has also played domestic matches. He recently picked up a five-for for Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club in the Dhaka Premier Division.
With Gazi out, the Bangladesh selectors picked five specialist spinners including Abdur Razzak, who has recovered from a hamstring injury. Razzak last played an international game in August. Among the 10 pace bowlers, three are allrounders - Ziaur Rahman, Muktar Ali and Soumya Sarkar.
Nasir Hossain, who was not picked for the home series against Zimbabwe due to poor form, has been included in the preliminary squad, while Shamsur Rahman, who averaged below ten in the Test series, is also in contention for a World Cup spot.
Mohammad Mithun and youngster Litton Das have been picked as back-up wicketkeepers for Mushfiqur Rahim, a pattern that chief selector Faruque Ahmed said was followed in all departments in the squad.
"I believe we have picked the strongest 30 available to us at the moment," Faruque said. "We have concentrated on creating back-ups for every position because it will be a long tournament. We have a good balance in the side with all areas covered. Most of the players who have been in or around the national team during the last six or seven months have been given a chance. There is a noticeable blend of youth and experience.
"The conditions in Australia and New Zealand will be a challenge for all the subcontinental teams, including Bangladesh. We cannot create those conditions here and that's why we have selected players based on performances in competitions they have appeared in and our intuition."
Mohammad Isam is ESPNcricinfo's Bangladesh correspondent. @isam84

My rating: 4 of 5 pearls
I liked this book. It held my interest which is a difficult accomplishment lately. I vaguely remember the main character, Kit Fielding, from a previous Francis book I read many years ago. (I'll have to go back and reread that one.) For this one, I liked the characters, the storyline, the climax, and the twist that, for some reason, I actually didn't see coming.

"Coach Tyrone Corbin cautioned against overreacting. Center Al Jefferson said the Jazz must stick together. Devin Harris and Gordon Hayward know Utah missed way too many makeable shots.
But after the lifeless Jazz were blown out 96-71 by the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night at Staples Center, there was no getting around a single fact: Utah's 2011-12 debut was historically bad.
How bad?
The Jazz set a franchise-low for points scored during a season opener, according to the team's public relations staff, eclipsing a 37-year-old mark. The then-New Orleans Jazz lost 89-74 to New York on Oct. 17, 1974."

Two Points Individuals Do Not Really Realize Referring To LASIK Eye Medical ProcedureThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be checked in several methods. The patient might be asked to recognize illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
Nevertheless, it must be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue may have other problems as well. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can alert the physician and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other signs provide themselves.
As a result, one's reliance on sight is stressed when one faces a possible or short-lived long-term loss of this important sense. When corrective steps are looked for, specific forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is fixed completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing popularity of look at this web-site LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals should understand. Most likely, the main factor why this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is because the majority of its cases had succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most sensitive parts of the eye, a lot of individuals say that the operation can be really risky.
In other words, a easy mistake could practically trigger an individual's life time blindness. It is crucial to think about lots of factors prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the right restorative measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment might correct your vision however it does not always suggest that it can give you a perfect vision. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always suggest they have perfect vision also.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the method many people see it
On the other hand, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. It must be well kept in mind that a client with view it an eye problem may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can signal the doctor and the patient to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ~22nt-long single-stranded RNA molecules that form a RNA-induced silencing complex with Argonaute (AGO) protein to post-transcriptionally downregulate their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs). To understand the regulatory mechanisms of miRNA, discovering the underlying functional rules how miRNAs recognize and repress their target mRNAs is of utmost importance. To determine the functional miRNA targeting rules, previous studies extensively utilized various methods including high-throughput biochemical assays and bioinformatics analyses. However, in many cases targeting rules reported in one study fail to be reproduced in other studies, leaving the general rules for functional miRNA targeting elusive. In this review, we evaluate previously reported rules of miRNA targeting and discuss the biological impact of the functional miRNAs on gene-regulatory networks and the future direction of miRNA targeting research.
