Pretty Killer - Alex Beaupain & L!ly Margot


Scène extraite du film "17 fois Cécile Cassard" de Christophe Honoré avec Béatrice Dalle et Romain Duris.



Certes, il n'y avait rien d'extraordinaire sur le film mais la bande originale a été grande.Et quoi que ce soit avec Béatrice Dalle en vaut la peine de le voir ...  Cette scène est le mieux joué à 11.

About the Historical Society of Carroll County Maryland http://hscc.carr.org/about/about.htm

    Founded in 1939, HSCC is dedicated to the research of piedmont Maryland's cultural heritage and the preservation and interpretation of objects significant to Carroll County history. We accomplish this mission by sponsoring educational programs, research projects, exhibitions, publications, and community outreach programs to provide broad public access to this region's cultural heritage. 
    Research of Carroll County's people and their history begins in HSCC's library. Collections of newspapers, manuscripts, previous research projects, and secondary sources can be used to research genealogy, commercial and agricultural history, and other topics. 
    The research produced from holdings at HSCC have resulted in numerous publications documenting Carroll's history, including books on local physicians, families, schools, mills, and other topics. Historical properties maintained by the Historical Society include the Sherman-Fisher-Shellman House, the Kimmey House and Cockey's Tavern.  
    The Sherman-Fisher-Shellman House (1807) was renovated to display the daily activities of a family of Pennsylvanian Germans, a significant community in Carroll County in the early nineteenth century.  
     Public tours of the house are available on Wednesday and Friday; school and group tours by appointment.  The Kimmey House serves as HSCC's administrative facility and houses the research library and the Shriver-Weybright Exhibition Gallery.   
    Cockey's Tavern has been renovated and now houses the Koontz-Yingling Learning Center and The Shop at Cockey's.  Contact Timmi Pierce for information regarding rental of the second floor of Cockey's for meetings and small events. HSCC's collections include not only library research materials, but objects that tell of Carroll County's history. 
    Objects include decorative and fine arts, textiles, domestic and craft tools, manuscripts, newspapers, and photographs that provide the foundation for exploring themes of daily life from the settlement of Carroll County to the present. Members and volunteers of the Historical Society support the preservation of Carroll County history. 
    Many benefits are derived from membership, including a quarterly newsletter, free admission to Historical Society properties and the research library, discounts on publications, invitations to HSCC events, and advance knowledge of bus tours and programs offered by HSCC. 
    Together, members meet and work with others interested in the preservation of Carroll County's rich cultural heritage. For more information about the Historical Society, its purpose, and its programs, please browse our website.  For answers to specific questions, contact HSCC by email, postal mail or telephone, or, contact a member of the HSCC staff.  Click for Board of Trustees list.

Sending a few notes of support to Afghanistan

By Katie V. Jones Posted 5/08/11 http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5405/sending-few-notes-support-afghanistan/

As Charlie Phillips pulled the main slide of the trombone before him, a low scraping metal sound emitted from the instrument.

After examining the trombone carefully, Phillips carefully put it back in its case, satisfied.

"A trombone shouldn't sound like that," admitted Phillips, who repairs brass instruments for Stu's Music Shop, in Westminster.

"The major problem here is cleaning it," he said. "There are not many dents. If they're all like this, I'm in luck."
Since the end of April, Phillips and Jim Bankard, who repairs woodwind instruments, have been fixing and fine-tuning instruments that have been donated at Stu's Music, to be sent to Navy Seabees in Afghanistan.

"We've got a pretty nice selection," said Don Myers, co-owner of Stu's, of the instruments. "We get a couple per day. They should be able to make a band."
Last month, Myers was contacted by Chaplain Nathan Boon, for Navy Mobile Construction Battalion 26, deployed at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, who was seeking instruments for his ministry "Holy Notes," which Boon described an e-mail as "a time to learn, play and make a joyful noise." ... http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5405/sending-few-notes-support-afghanistan/

Whye is helping students create a mural that will be displayed in the school media center, showing how Hampstead is environmentally linked to the Chesapeake Bay watershed. (Staff photo by Sarah Pastrana)
While doing research on the Baltimore Oriole, Teressa Flinn, 11, learned that the state bird of Maryland likes oranges.
Heather Stearns, 10, learned that a great blue heron has very long legs -- and not all of them are blue. Some are white.
Both Teressa and Heather are fifth-graders at Hampstead Elementary School.
The two students, along with their fellow fifth-grade classmates, were assigned a different Maryland animal to research, and then sketch, for a mural the school is creating entitled, "Our Yard to the Bay in Clay."
"Each (student) had an assignment," said Barbara Hammond, art teacher at Hampstead Elementary. "They really did the research and the sketch. It is very individualized."
Every grade at Hampstead Elementary has contributed to the mural.

Every grade involved in school project to promote environmental awareness..

PORK CHOPS - Love is blind and so is instinct

  Love is blind and so is instinct         
PORK CHOPS




In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth 


to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. 


Unfortunately,
Due to complications in the pregnancy, 


the cubs were born prematurely 


and due to their tiny size, 


they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, 


suddenly started to decline in health,
Although physically she was fine. 


The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter 


had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. 


The doctors decided 


that if the tigress could surrogate 


another mother's cubs, 


perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country,
the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs 

of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother.. 


The veterinarians decided to try something 


that had never been tried in a zoo environment. 


Sometimes a mother of one species 


will take on the care of a different species. 


The only orphans' that could be found quickly, 


were a litter of weanling pigs. 


The zoo keepers and vets 


wrapped the piglets in tiger skin 


and placed the babies around the mother tiger... 


Would they become cubs or pork chops?



Take a look...you won't believe your eyes









Now, please tell me one more time ...

Why can't the rest of the world get along?
  

 
I am sending this to all that love animals.............
It is just too cute not to pass along.
