5|25: Celebrating Five Years of Autism Science Day 21: Toddlers with autism are drawn to movements that are highly synchronized
In honor of the anniversary of Autism Speaks' founding on Feb 25, for the next 25 days we will be sharing stories about the many significant scientific advances that have occurred during our first five years together. Our 21st item, Toddlers with autism are drawn to movements that are highly synchronized, was originally reported in our Science In the News in 2009.
In its March 29, 2009 issue, the prestigious journal Nature reported on an autism study that focuses on the toddler response to biological motion. Researchers from Yale University found that young toddlers with autism are not sensitive to biological motion, or all movements made by people including facial expressions, speech and gestures. The study, funded in part by Autism Speaks, helps explain why young toddlers with autism often do not make eye contact or pay attention to what others are doing. Instead, toddlers with autism are drawn to movements that are highly synchronized, which is not characteristic of most human movements.
"Since infants as young as two days old are sensitive and pay attention to biological motion," said Dr. Geri Dawson, chief science officer for Autism Speaks, "these findings could potentially be useful in detecting infants at risk for autism very early in life. It is important to use therapeutic strategies for children with autism that help draw their attention to people, including their facial expressions, and gestures."
By providing very early intervention, doctors and therapists may be able to influence the trajectory of brain and behavioral development in children with autism so that a more typical development occurs and symptoms of autism are reduced.
Read an NIH press release on the study.
Did you know?: Another Autism Speaks-funded study published in 2009 discovered unusual sensory-motor features of children with autism. Researchers from the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine examined motor patterns in children with autism. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that children with autism appear to learn new motor actions differently than do typically developing children. To learn new patterns of movement, children with autism relied much more on their own internal sense of body position (proprioception) rather than visual information coming from the external world. Furthermore, researchers found that the greater the reliance on proprioception, the greater the child's impairment in social skills, motor skills and imitation.


text: Quote: Buck 65:'Situation' (Warners) Second sortie on a major label for one of the more appealing Anti-Con associated left field HipHop providers. Everyone I converse with regarding all things left of centre HipHop, tend to agree that although some of his recorded material is strong, it's his live shows that are way more entertaining. Despite his boho/Tom Waits fixations (which are fine by me) his delivery of tongue twisting rhymes and vocal acrobatics are a welcome break from the usual whining, nasaly delivery associated with many from this so-called alternative HipHop scene. Themed around aspects of counter cultural movements (the artwork is ace), the title no doubt refers to the Situationists and the year Teen rebellion was invented. There's no heavy tretise, just a list like reference to rebels, outlaws,habits,consumerism, the law etc backed by solid beats, some tight scratches and fills. As opposed to other Anti-Con accolytes the music refers more directly to HipHop in it's purest form, sans the bragging and boasting. If I had enough time to digest it, I'd probably enjoy it a lot more. In this instance, it's relatively entertaining although I'd prefer to hear a live rendition. As anyone who's had the opportunity will testify, live is where he really comes into his own. Recommended.

Post subject: Could I have miscarried?-confused and sad
Early this morning I woke up with an excruciating pain in my abdomen, It was so bad I felt like I needed to puke. I ran to the bathroom and lay down on the floor hoping to get some pain relief. I felt a pressure in my bum, like I needed to go for a poo, but with no success.
I was a little disoriented and I didn't realise the severe cramps could be period related, as I never get pain as bad as this. When I tried to pee i noticed I already was bleeding, which was odd as I normally begin my period with a light browish discharge before it gets heavy. It was also a very pale clear pinky-red colour which is unusual. I was about a week late and hadn't thought much of it. It also kinda smells a bit different to my normal period blood smell. I took two nurofen tablets and the pain subsided.
An hour or so later when i went to change my pad, I noticed when I wiped there was some thick tissue, and where there was no blood covering it, some of the tissue was a pale cream.
I've had a dull pain in my back for the past week and my breasts have been quite tender. Could I have miscarried? I'm 18 and not looking to conceive but I'm still sad at the thought of the potential loss. Can't stop thinking about it.

The Donator wrote:Pock-faced Pops and his Heels tried to ruin yet another NBA season, but the Heat put on a "gritty" performance last night.
The Spurs should have never lost that game, regardless of how "gritty" the heat played. You don't lose a game when you are up 5 with 28 seconds left. Especially in a title clinching game. Pathetic if you ask me. As much as I hate the Heat, they will probably win game 7. Shooting yourself in the foot and the momentum swing is just too much for the Spurs to overcome.

A Missouri Heights husband and wife were both killed by gunshot wounds Saturday, authorities with the Eagle County Sheriff's Office said.
The double shooting occurred sometime around 11 or 11:30 a.m., said sheriff's spokeswoman Jessie Mosher. The victims' names had not been released as of 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
The woman was pronounced dead on the scene. The man was transported to Valley View Hospital. Mosher said that she learned at 4 p.m. that he had died.
"The case remains under investigation, but there is no immediate threat in the El Jebel area," Mosher said.
She declined to say how many shots were believed to have been fired or what type of firearm or firearms were involved. The home where the two were found is on Vega Drive in the Missouri Heights subdivision, outside El Jebel. Vega Drive comprises five to seven residences; the closest home to where the shootings occurred is about 75 yards away, said Ron Ryan, undersheriff with the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities received a call from a person who reported that shots were heard in the area, Mosher said. The initial call was that two women had been shot, Ryan said.
"The original call was that shots had been fired in front of the house," he said.
Authorities found both husband and wife on the lawn outside of a residence on Vega Drive, Ryan said. Ryan, along with three deputies from Pitkin County, provided mutual aid at the scene, he said.
Neither Mosher nor Ryan would discuss who is believed to have fired the shots.
"There are some details at the scene that would suggest who played a role, but it's an Eagle County investigation, and it would be inappropriate for me to say anything," Ryan said.
Mosher could not provide information about the victims' family or details about how long the couple had been married.
Homicides are a rare occurrence in the Roaring Fork Valley. The last murder in the mid- to upper half of the Roaring Fork Valley was a murder-suicide in November 2005 when a man killed a woman and then turned on himself.

—Jean Schlumberger
In 1956, Jean Schlumberger joined Tiffany & Co. Immediately,
his designs were coveted and collected by the world's most
fashionable women, including Jacqueline Kennedy and legendary
Vogue editor Diana Vreeland. Today, they continue to be worn by
women of unimpeachable taste.
Tiffany's reputation for finding the world's most spectacular diamonds dates back to 1848. That year, founder Charles Lewis Tiffany acquired a large cache of important jewels, earning him the moniker "The King of Diamonds."

D.C. Ruling Could Make Comcast-Time Warner Deal Easier
The nation's leading cable provider, Comcast, is pondering whether to make a bid for the second-place provider, Time Warner Cable, according to the latest reports.
Should Comcast follow through on the deal, it will be up to the Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission to say yes or no. Observers say the FCC may well greenlight the transaction, subject to conditions, in part because the commission's past attempts to cap the size of a cable provider's audience have gone down to defeat at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
In 2009, that court — which gained fame this week as the tribunal that triggered the Senate's "nuclear option" — threw out the FCC's previous attempt at establishing a 30% horizontal ownership cap for the cable industry. The court, ruling on a legal challenge from Comcast, deemed the cap arbitrary and capricious.
It was the second time the court had struck down such a rule. In 2001, it found similar rules violated the First Amendment rights of the cable companies, and told the FCC to find better justification for the 30% cap.
That doesn't mean the FCC is toothless. Comcast and Time Warner Cable both hold cable licenses, and the agency would have the authority to block the deal in the public interest, if it chose to do so. A more likely road, according to observers, would be implementing conditions aimed at protecting independent programmers and consumers.
Chief among the concerns would be data caps, as Time Warner Cable currently offers consumers the option for unlimited bandwidth. Regulators could require Comcast to continue offering an unlimited plan as part of any deal. Time Warner Cable could also be subject to net neutrality conditions similar to those imposed on Comcast, which prevent the company from discriminating against any content provider on its broadband service.
The FCC is currently fighting a court battle at—where else?—the D.C. Circuit to preserve its net-neutrality rules. Should it lose, the merger could offer the commission the opportunity to ensure that up to a third of the nation's broadband subscribers are still governed by net neutrality.
Harold Feld of the open Internet advocacy group Public Knowledge said that Comcast's strong ties to the White House and Democratic Party could give it a boost during the merger review process. He also cited the Justice Department's recent decision to settle a suit that had sought to block the US Airways-American Airlines merger. The settlement signaled the government has backed down from the aggressive stance it struck in 2011 when it successfully blocked AT&T's bid to buy T-Mobile USA.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 5, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Twenty-two dollars and 42 cents per day -- that's the fee veterans will have to pay come Jan. 1 to keep their places at the Georgia War Veteran Nursing Home.
The fee has some veterans and their families all riled up.
"I want to know why the veterans getting picked on again," asked one wheelchair-bound veteran.
"My name is Arlene Candy. Actually, you can call me David, because I feel like I'm going to be fighting Goliath here. You've got some problems you haven't thought out yet," Candy said.
These are a few of the strong reactions to the new fee the Georgia Assembly says veterans must pay to stay in their nursing home.
"Right now that fee is projected to be $22.42 a day," said Department of Veterans Service Assistant Commissioner Dan Holtz.
That's nearly $700 a month. This comes after a new law was passed in the last legislative session authorizing the Veterans Service Board to start charging "a reasonable fee."
"The reason they did that is because state appropriations have not been able to keep up with the cost of care at both of our homes, and they want to keep as many veterans in our homes as we can possible keep in them and continue to provide quality care for them," Holtz explained.
Until now, Georgia was the only state not making veterans pay something for their residence and care in state veterans homes.
But the changes have some people frustrated -- not so much about the cost -- but about how they can pay and how much time they have to pay.
Right now, the law states the veterans must pay the amount 10 days after they receive the invoice and no electronic payment is accepted.
"You should get your systems ready and then number one, allow electronic payment, and number two, the invoice should not be due in less than 30 days because it's unheard of in business or medical care," stated one concerned family member.
Not everybody is against the fee. For many, it's worth it to get the level of care the veterans need.
Angela Lane's brother lives at the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home, and she understands why they are implementing the fee.
"They gonna need some money to keep the place going like they want it to keep going, so $22 a day is reasonable to me, I think," Lane said.
"We are willing to pay that money, whatever they ask for, to keep him here because we can't do it ourselves," agreed sister Carolyn James.
Holtz says the funds collected will be used for the maintenance and operation of the nursing homes. If you don't pay the fee, then the veteran will be discharged.
Eligible veterans will be able to apply for a waiver.

Jerry Najera
Multimedia Journalist
I'm a photojournalist and have been with the KVIA team for six years.
I was born and raised in the beautiful Sun City, and grew up in the Lower Valley. I will always love the people and the culture that surrounded me growing up.
If it wasn't Sundays at the flea markets with my grandfather, it was taking in the sun at Ascarate Lake with my uncles.
As long I can remember, I've always had a camera in my hand. My mom still cherishes -- and now more than ever -- a picture of me holding a camera when I was 3 years old.
Later in life, one of my uncles gave me his old Minolta and it lighted a fuse that sparked my interest in photography. I eventually took photography classes at the University of Texas at El Paso. Then, after a long stint working in manufacturing, I was given the opportunity to enroll in El Paso Community College's Media Production program.
Shortly after, I got my foot in the door at KVIA, and what a ride it's been! I've won a few Associated Press awards as a photographer, and my first story as a reporter won a first-place Texas AP award.
When it comes down to it, I love capturing a moment in time, and I strive to be the greatest storyteller our city has seen.

Arkansas Governor Again Prods Legislature to Fund Medicaid Program
Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe said he hoped the possibility of "severe and draconian cuts" to state services will spur state lawmakers to fund a program that buys private health insurance for residents who newly qualify for Medicaid.
Last fall, the state became the first in the nation to begin offering a "private option" for some low-income residents. The program lets Arkansas use federal Medicaid funds to buy private health insurance for residents who have incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level and newly qualify for Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor. Now, the state must fund the program for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
A measure renewing the private Medicaid option was approved by the state Senate last week but has fallen short in the House where Speaker Davy Carter, a Republican, has said he will keep holding votes until the measure passes. The House is expected again vote on the measure Tuesday. Last Friday, it failed on a 71-18 vote, four votes shy of the 75 needed. Some Republicans oppose the program because it was created by the 2010 federal health law, widely known as Obamacare.
Speaking to reporters Monday in Washington, Mr. Beebe, a Democrat, said that if the private option isn't renewed, it would create about a $90 million gap in the state budget that would have to be balanced through cuts to other programs.

It just makes sense to save some money for a rainy day, but several area school districts are looking at making a previously informal policy official as budgets get tighter.
Prior to this week, no Washington County school districts had a formal cash reserve policy on the books. The Frontier Local Board of Education, at its regular meeting on Monday, unanimously approved a measure requiring the district to "maintain a general fund/emergency fund cash balance equivalent to at least 40 days of operating expenses."
That amounts to about $800,000, according to Frontier Treasurer Frank Antill.
The policy does not forbid the district from spending into that amount but requires the treasurer to notify the board if and when the money available drops below that threshold.
"It's a safeguard to make sure that we don't wake up one day and say, 'Hey, we don't have any money,'" Antill said.
That doesn't mean district officials weren't already keeping an eye on the bottom line. The 40-day reserve has been a board practice in recent years, and members are advised of the district's finances at the monthly board meetings, Antill said.

district cash reserves
Belpre City - no formal policy; try to have 60 days' worth of reserves, about $1.6 million.
Fort Frye Local - no policy.
Frontier Local - at least 40 days, about $800,000; passed Monday by school board.
Marietta City - no policy; general goal of one month, about $1.5 million.
Warren Local - no formal policy; finance committee goal of two months, about $3.26 million.
Wolf Creek Local - no formal policy.
Washington County Career Center - policy expected to be presented to the board sometime in 2013.

"This is making it an official policy," he said.
Frontier has been criticized in the last year for maintaining a seven-figure cash reserve while considering closing Lawrence Elementary School. But district officials have said that additional funding has helped slow the impact of state budget cuts and other revenue losses. Antill has estimated the district would be close to the $800,000 reserve mark by the 2014 fiscal year.
An Ohio School Boards Association spokeswoman said that group does not recommend that boards of education put in a cash reserve minimum policy, instead leaving that up to the treasurer. But Antill said formalizing the practice has been discussed at some meetings of treasurers he's attended.
Barbara Shaner, associate executive director of the Ohio Association of School Business Officials, said the decision on whether to have such a policy and at what level should be made in individual districts.
"We would defer to the local community to see what is the best thing for their district," she said.
Washington County Career Center Treasurer Joe Crone said the concept of a formal reserve policy was included in new forecasting software the center and other school districts recently adopted. He expects to present a recommendation to his board in 2013, but at this point, no amount has been determined.
The career center is currently not in danger of having its reserves drop to a critical level, but Crone said the idea is to have a policy in place two or three years before it's actually needed. The center's most recent five-year forecast shows it in deficit spending through fiscal year 2017, but still maintaining a positive balance at the end of each year. However, that is projected to shrink from more than $3 million this year to just more than $126,000 at the end of fiscal year 2017.
"All of the cash balances are decreasing in pretty much every single forecast" in the area, Crone said.
Contributing factors have been decreases in enrollment, changes to the state funding system and the accelerated reduction of reimbursements for the elimination of tangible personal property tax and electrical and natural gas deregulation.
Melcie Wells, who serves as treasurer for Fort Frye and Warren Local Schools, said the matter has been discussed by officials in both districts.
Although it's not a formal policy, Wells said the Warren school board's finance committee monitors to make sure the district has enough money to cover two months' worth of expenses. The amount varies from month to month, but it averages about $3.26 million.
"We've used it as a target ... and kind of measured our finances off of that," said Sid Brackenridge, finance committee chairman and a former district treasurer. "The real trick is not to get to that point and to do something about it long before you get to that point."
Brackenridge said having such a policy in writing can also be beneficial if a district is trying to receive bonding for a project.
Wells said Fort Frye does not have a cash reserve policy but they are discussing developing one.
Wolf Creek Local Schools board member Tom Kearns said he's not aware of a policy in that district; other district officials were unable to be reached for comment.
Marietta City Schools Treasurer Matt Reed said that district has no formal policy either.
"That being said, I think it is always a goal to have at least a month of expenses reserved for the unexpected," he said, adding that amount is about $1.5 million.
Belpre City Schools Superintendent Tony Dunn said Treasurer Eva Elliott "likes to have 60 days' worth of reserves on hand to make sure payroll and other bills can be paid on time.
"In reality, it is often less than 60 days worth of reserves, but that is what she likes to have on hand," Dunn said.

I have never had more trouble assembling a product - these are awful and a waste of time. The lanterns need individually assembled, with wire that does not fit inside them. My fingers are about to bleed from trying to get 35 of these things together. DO NOT PURCHASE. These are not worth your time. I can't believe WM sells these with the expectation that all of these need put together. THE WORST.
These are lovely lanterns . I bought 2 boxes of them and they look lovely hanging on our patio. The only thing is I wish they were just a little bit bigger. Other than that I think they are beautiful!
Purchased a set of these three years ago to string from the corners of my patio. They have been up and used everyday since. The bulbs are starting to blow and I really hate changing a bulb so I'm purchasing new ones.
The lanterns are extremely difficult to assemble. I'm very disappointed that World Market sells such a difficult product. I'll be returning it

Navy catching waves in Hawaii
June 11, 2010
To a casual observer, the buoy off the shore of Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) might look like nothing more than a bright yellow spot in a blue ocean. But this isn't an ordinary buoy — it's a small electrical generator, creating renewable electricity as it bobs up and down on the waves. It's also a test project by the U.S. Navy to see whether a wider use of wave energy technology is a practical way to power Navy and Marine Corps installations.
Brian Cable is a mechanical engineer and project manager for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command's Wave Energy Technology project. He says the power-generating buoy is just one of several devices the Navy is testing with the hope of moving toward more use of alternative energy.
"We're really trying to help the Navy meet its energy goals, which are to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The Navy's target goal is to utilize half of our total energy consumption, ashore and afloat from alternate energy sources by 2020," Cable says.
Wave power is generated by the up-and-down motion of ocean waves, which the Hawaiian buoy captures with a plunger connected to a hydraulic pump. That pump powers a generator that creates electricity, and the electricity can then be sent to shore through an underwater cable.
For this experiment, the Navy partnered with Ocean Power Technologies, Inc., which designed and deployed the buoy last December. After it's connected to the shore with an undersea cable, which Cable says was scheduled for early May, the power it generates can be connected to MCBH. Under the right conditions, the single buoy has the capacity to generate enough electricity to power 20 to 25 homes a year. The existing ocean test is scheduled to be completed by autumn.
Cable says there are two potential applications for this type of wave energy. The main goal is to power onshore military installations like MCBH and the larger onshore power grid. The other potential application would be to power autonomous systems with smaller power needs, such as a scientific data collection points in the middle of the ocean.
At the moment, Cable notes, wave energy is struggling to be cost-competitive with conventional utilities — even in Hawaii, where power is expensive. But engineers are hoping to change that by refining the technology through experiments such as this.
"Until they're actually tested and shown to be reliable in the ocean, the story isn't complete," he says. "So that's what we're doing right now."

PITTSBURGH (January 16, 2013)—Butler County, Pa., detective is trying to figure out how a prankster was able to fill out a 2008 voter registration card signed "Barack H. Obama."
Detective Scott Roskovski said nobody voted using the bogus voter registration card, although filling it out falsely could be a felony.
Elections officials in the county north of Pittsburgh processed the card, and it went into the state's computerized database with the last name "Obana," with an "n'' in place of the "m."
But Roskovski says that whoever did it was clearly trying to register using President Barack Obama's name.
The card was discovered last week when a jury commissioner was compiling a list of potential jurors, which can be drawn from voter-registration lists.

Carthage police don't have a lot to go on as they search for a man accused of breaking into a home in the southeast part of town and attacking a woman inside.
Carthage Police Capt. Bill Hawkins said police conducted an extensive investigation after the attack, which was called in to police at 10:07 p.m. on Saturday, but they still only have a vague description of the suspect.
In a written release, police said the man was about six feet tall and of average weight.
"That's really all we've got at this point," Hawkins said. "The description from the victim was pretty vague."
In a written release issued early Sunday morning, police said officers were dispatched to a residence in the southeast part of town to investigate a burglary in which the resident of the home was missing.
A short time after that initial call, police were notified that the resident was at Mercy McCune-Brooks Hospital.
"Investigative officers spoke with the victim, who said that a subject unknown to her had forcibly entered the home and assaulted her," the release said. "The victim fought off her attacker, who fled when a noise outside startled him. The victim sustained minor injuries and was treated and released."
Hawkins urged anyone who sees anything suspicious or out of the ordinary in their neighborhood to call police and have it checked out.
"We'd rather check something out and have it turn out to be innocent than not be called at all," Hawkins said.
Anyone with information about the case can call the police at 237-7200.

Plumage colors result from pigments and from the structure and reflective properties of feathers
The development of the feather and the remarkable variation in plumage among bird species are two of nature's miracles. Feathers are the most distinctive characteristic of a bird and are among the most complex structural organs found in vertebrates. Feathers form the flight surface, improve flight efficiency, and provide exceptional insulation. And they come in an amazing array of colors, which helps birds differentiate species, attract mates, and avoid predators.
Scientists believe feathers are actually a modified version of the scales seen in reptiles, as these two structures have similar chemical composition. Hummingbirds have the fewest feathers (some species have less than a thousand), while some swans have more than 25,000 feathers, 80 percent of which are on the birds' head and neck.
Feathers grow out of a follicle in the skin. Although highly vascularized (nourished by blood vessels) during growth, mature feathers are nonliving tissue, somewhat like human hair and fingernails.
Ducks have many types of feathers—stiff, glossy ones on the outside to give a water-resistant, streamlined contour, and fluffy down feathers under these for warmth. On the wings, large, stiff feathers form a flexible airfoil, while some feathers in the tail or crest may be enlarged, elongated, or elaborately colored.
Feather colors produce the familiar plumage patterns of each duck species. Birds display virtually every color imaginable, and waterfowl are no different. Colors result from pigments in the feather or from the structure or reflective properties of feathers.
Pigment colorization in birds comes from melanins, carotenoids, and porphyrins. Melanins occur as tiny bits of color in both the skin and feathers of birds. Depending on their concentration and location, melanins can produce colors ranging from black to reddish brown and pale yellow. Feathers that contain melanin are stronger and more resistant to wear. Carotenoids are produced by plants and acquired by eating plants or by eating something that has eaten a plant. Responsible for the bright yellows, reds, and oranges seen in birds, carotenoids can interact with melanins to produce colors like olive-green. Porphyrins are produced in the body and create a range of colors, including pink, brown, red, and green.
Structural coloration in bird plumage is especially important in producing blues, greens, and iridescence. Blues and iridescent colors are generally the result of fine feather structure. There are no blue pigments in feathers (check a feather lit from behind to see for yourself), and most green plumage has no green pigment. Rather, the feather is constructed of layers; one layer reflects the wavelength of light that gives the color we see, while a deeper layer absorbs the other wavelengths.
In some cases, feather colors result from a combination of structural colors and pigment. Yellow pigments overlaying the blue-reflecting structural characteristic of the feathers produce the greens on some ducks.

If you haven't heard yet, there will be no American Carnage tour... at least, not this winter.
The whole thing has been postponed on the heels of Slayer frontman Tom Araya's apparently necessary back surgery. The tour was to feature Slayer, Megadeth and Testament, touring the United States and parts of Canada.
Fear not though, as ticket holders are being urged to hang onto their tickets, as the dates will all be rescheduled for sometime in the late Spring/summer. That seems like an awfully quick turnaround for invasive back surgery, but what do I know?

Sew Colette: My Meringue Skirt
Oooh, I love my Meringue skirt so much! I love the fit and the style. I love how easily it came together and how quick and simple it was to add a waistband. This version is my wearable muslin, but it looks good enough that I am happy to wear it regularly.
Sarai Mitnik is a genius! She not only designs beautiful patterns, but she provides very straightforward instructions that clearly set you up for sewing success. Now I find that every time I sew, my Colette Handbook is always within reach.
I love how easily the dark denim fabric I chose coordinates with the rest of my wardrobe. It was terrific to sew with and had approximately 2-3% spandex for stretch. My ' final' version will be made from some fine wale cherry red corduroy, which I will share with you as soon as it's finished.
I adore the scalloped hem! It adds such a fun element to a wardrobe staple design. I love how it looks with my fun polka dot tights, too! (Have I told you how much I love fun patterned tights?) I had everything I needed to make this skirt waiting for me in my stash, too. I'm stash-bustin'!
Do you know what I like most of all? Being able to make this along with everyone who has joined in with Sew Colette (92 of you to date!). I want to thank you all very much for your patience and understanding when I had to take a slight step back this month.
Now it's full-speed ahead with the Pastille Dress! The sew-along schedule for February will be posted tomorrow!

November 1, 2005
The flu shot is still your best protection against the virus, and the good news is this year it's a little easier to get one. News 12 is on your side to explain the changes made to make sure everyone who really should get one, gets a shot.
It's hard to believe this is the line to get a flu shot.
"Very simple, quick," said Betty Palmer.
Many coming in Tuesday didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes. That's the complete opposite of what happened last year. You'll remember people waited in line overnight to get their shots.
"We had to wait till January to get one," said Bonnie Land.
Officials say that's because they learned from the mistakes last year. This year was the first time they spaced out vaccination dates making sure the high-risk group had their vaccines before everyone else.
"It's working out smoothly, we did a change and it's been a big difference I could tell," said Phyllis Tankersley, Program Assistant for Columbia Co. Health Department.
Waiting in line for hours may not be the issue this year. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'll have enough to go around.
"Only 200 left, probably did 80 so far," Tankersley said.
With one more clinic set up for Wednesday in Columbia County, Phyllis says some may have to wait until they get their next shipment in on November 10.
"We're running out quick. Everyone wants it, it's in high demand so as soon as we get it we're out," Tankersley said.
Something Bonnie knows a thing or two about.
"My daughter is a doctor in Thomson and they don't have any, my doctor didn't have any so we were lucky we heard about it today," Bonnie Land said.
Lucky, and now armed with the vaccine she hopes will keep her well.
And you can still get a flu shot Wednesday at Grovetown Elementary between 2-4p.m. They cost $20. The county expects to have about 100 or so left for tomorrow, and again, the county will get another shipment in just over a week.
