Katahdin Bankshares Corp., parent company of Katahdin Trust Co., today announced a drop in its second-quarter earnings compared with the same period last year.
The Houlton-based company reported earnings of $2.1 million, down 1.7% from 2011, according to a press release. Despite the slight decrease, President and CEO Jon Prescott said the company is "pleased with the results." Total assets, loans, deposits and equity all achieved record levels. Total assets grew to nearly $570 million, an increase of 8.6% over the prior year. Prescott attributed the rise to strong loan growth of just under $50 million, an 11.6% increase. Deposits increased to $471.5 million, up 13.0% over the second quarter in 2011. Shareholders' equity grew 5.6% to $56.7 million.
The bank opened its 17th branch location, and third in the greater Bangor area, in May. It was also recognized as one of the top 200 community banks in the country by American Banker magazine for the sixth consecutive year, and was designated as a preferred lender by the U.S. Small Business Association for its loan programs.

3D Applications and Virtual Worlds in Visual and Technological Education
This research focused on the integration of 3D technologies (particularly VRML/X3D) in the curriculum of Visual and Technological Education in order to encourage and facilitate meaningful learning in young students through the integration of computers in the classroom and beyond through the use of multiuser virtual reality environments (face to face and e-learning).
This is an exploratory study developed primarily with a group of 6th grade students and with fainter ramifications for other groups of students and teachers. We explored the use of 3D modeling programs and virtual worlds with a working methodology based on constructivist assumptions and meaningful learning by focusing on individual creativity and social interactions in the learning process. The results show the feasibility and benefits of using these technologies in the curriculum area pointing to new curriculum approaches.
"Invatare pentru societatea cunoasterii": o noua disciplina optionala de studiu pentru liceenii din Romania
Stiati ca lectiile de geografie, istorie, chimie si matematica pot fi combinate? Prin programa optionala "Invatare pentru societatea cunoasterii", elevii vor avea ocazia, in premiera, sa imbine in acelasi timp informatiile din mai multe domenii, intr-o maniera placuta si interesanta care le dezvolta gandirea analitica si creativitatea.
Intr-o perioada in care rolul educatiei este tot mai intens dezbatut de mediul academic si societatea civila, SIVECO Romania in parteneriat cu Unitatea de Management a Proiectelor cu Finantare Externa (MECTS) prezinta o solutie inedita menita sa dezvolte capacitatile creative ale elevilor si sa transforme actul de invatare intr-o activitate eficienta si placuta.
Ministrul Educatiei, Cercetarii, Tineretului si Sportului, domnul Petru Daniel Funeriu, a aprobat la inceputul lunii iulie 2011 Ordinul Nr. 4572/06.07.2011 prin care curriculumul integrat, inter si transdisciplinar pentru domeniile stiintific si umanist "Invatare pentru societatea cunoasterii" devine parte integranta a Curriculumului la Decizia Scolii incepand cu anul scolar 2011-2012.
Curriculumul transdisciplinar a fost realizat in cadrul proiectului "Proces educational optimizat in viziunea competentelor societatii cunoasterii" (mai cunoscut in mediul liceal ca proiectul "Multi-touch") si se bucura de privilegiul unicitatii, fiind, de asemenea, printre primele abordari coerente ale conceptului de invatare axata pe competente si, probabil, primul curs transdisciplinar care integreaza cele doua arii de cunoastere: "Matematica si stiinte" si "Om si societate".
"Speram ca aceasta abordare sa atraga atentia cat mai multor elevi din clasa a IX-a. Ei vor avea la dispozitie materiale de predare, invatare, si evaluare in format digital. Cursul ii va ajuta sa-si imbunatateasca abilitatile de comunicare, sa isi dezvolte capacitatea de a se adapta la situatii diferite, capacitatea de investigare si de valorizare a propriei experiente. Toate acestea ii vor face sa fie mai bine pregatiti pentru piata muncii", declara seful echipei de proiect SIVECO, prof. Radu Jugureanu, directorul departamentului AeL eContent in cadrul SIVECO Romania.
Optionalul include 12 teme care pot fi abordate in diferite combinatii in functie de alegerea elevilor si profesorilor. Intr-o prima etapa, curriculumul integrat, inter si transdisciplinar a fost dezvoltat doar pentru clasa a XI-a, insa deschide calea pentru promovarea transdisciplinaritatii la toate nivelurile scolare.
Activitatea de conceptie a curriculumului optional s-a desfasurat cu sprijinul specialistilor SIVECO Romania. Pana in prezent, acesta a reprezentat un proiect pilot implementat in 500 de licee din toata tara, insa incepand din anul scolar 2011-2012 toate liceele din Romania, indiferent de profil vor beneficia de nou programa optionala.
Proiectul "Proces educational optimizat in viziunea competentelor societatii cunoasterii" este implementat de Unitatea de Management a Proiectelor cu Finantare Externa din Ministerul Educatiei, Cercetarii, Tineretului si Sportului in parteneriat cu SIVECO Romania si Universitatea Nationala de Aparare "Carol I" si este cofinantat din Fondul Social European prin Programul Operational Sectorial Dezvoltarea Resurselor Umane 2007-2013. Programa optionala si ghidul metodologic pot fi citite pe www.transdisciplinar.pmu.ro si pe www.siveco.ro, Fonduri structurale.
Links-up and Free Joint Project Seminar: Gathering for good practice sharing and networking
The Links-up (Learning 2.0 for an Inclusive Knowledge Society - Understanding the Picture) and the FREE (Fostering Return to Employment through Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Creativity) projects, two outstanding EU funded initiatives, are organising their closing events on 22-23 September 2011 at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, in Building A (20-22 Egry J. Street, H-1111 Budapest, Hungary) to offer their audiences their highly valuable research findings, products and services. Both the Links-up and the FREE projects are co-funded by the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme and will be finishing shortly after this jointly organised conference.
Web 2.0 for Social Inclusion
The Links-up Final Conference, titled "Web 2.0 for Social Inclusion: Bridging Practices and Policies" will draw a picture of the 'landscape' of 'Learning 2.0 for Inclusion' by reviewing what has been done in the academic and research field, and what has been achieved by practitioners working on the ground in projects that have been using Web 2.0 to work with disadvantaged groups. Links-up will also report on a series of 'action research experiments', collaborating with 'live pilot' projects working in the field, to evaluate the added contribution Web 2.0 can make to practices that use learning to support social inclusion. Links-up, therefore, contributes to build a grounded as well as integrated evidence base in the field of Web 2.0, Learning 2.0 and Inclusion 2.0 in order to formulate realistic and feasible recommendations for future political actions and practical interventions.
Entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity
The FREE International Seminar offers in its programme a workshop where participants will have an opportunity to carry out in depth exploration of the features and contents of the FREE Interactive Tool, developed for the benefit of counsellors, tutors, trainers and other professionals working with unemployed people interested in starting a business. This experimentation will be facilitated by the members of the project partnership. In a following round table discussion you may exchange your opinion and experiences with your colleagues about the previously discussed or other related topics.
Synergies between and beyond
The two projects join forces in offering specifically dedicated sessions, where you will be introduced to other projects and initiatives that have similar focus to that of the FREE and Links-up. Would you have something relevant to contribute or share, bring your flyers and make sure you have enough business cards to give to the colleagues you will meet during these two busy days.
Registration procedure
The participation at both events is free of charge, however only pre-registered participants may attend and the places are limited. To safeguard your attendance, please fill in the online registration form not later than 12 September 2011. Would you have any questions or enquiries about the projects and the detailed programmes of the two days, please contact Gábor Cser at firstname.lastname@example.com.

eLearning in National Policies: full report published!
'Digital Agenda Assembly', Workshop 08: Mainstreming eLearning in education and training'. The purpose of the workshop was to mobilise key stakeholders and Member States' representatives to support the mainstreaming of eLearning in national policies as an agent for modernization of education, for all subjects and skills.
New issue of eLearning Papers on Game-Based Learning is out!
Why should we implement games for learning? How should we do this? What games are appropriate for my needs? The 25th issue of eLearning Papers should help to find answers to such questions. Guest editor: Maja Pivec. Join the community about this topic.
The potential of Game-Based Learning (GBL) is still underestimated. We firmly believe that GBL can play a major role in renewing learning as it is perceived by learners in all levels of education and training systems. Games have high presence in informal learning contexts – but in formal education, they are still often seen as an unserious activity and their potentials for supporting learning remain undiscovered.
The new issue features 9 articles, 4 of them are in depth insights on the topic and the other 5 are examples from the field of the implementation of games in education. We thank all authors for their high quality submissions.

Mainstreaming eLearning in National Policies: How can we make change happen?
This paper is based on a dialogue that summarises and responds to Workshop 08 of the Digital Agenda Assembly: Mainstreaming eLearning in National Policies, which took place on June 16th, 2011. It explores new ideas regarding how to make change happen by asking: do we have concrete ideas on how to introduce change in our educational systems? The workshop generated debate on issues related to both policy and practice in order to involve stakeholders from the educational sector in a discussion on the best strategies for improving learning environments.
The Digital Agenda Assembly explored new ideas regarding how to make change happen in the educational system. At the eG8, Robert Murdoch recalled that education was a pending challenge for our already digital societies. However, the question remains: do we have concrete ideas about how to make changes in educational systems?
The politics and practices surrounding the integration of technology and education raise many questions, and the extent to which this integration enacts real change is currently a critical debate within our field. Therefore, this discussion opens with a series of challenges related to the discourse on change, expressed in terms of four key areas: innovation, infrastructure, impact and pedagogical vision.
Innovation has been identified as a necessary element for creating change but the best way for introducing innovative practices is not always clear. How can we capture the innovation that takes place at the local level? Are we sure that we can transfer innovation as it is, or would it be better to concentrate on the inspirational dimension of some initiatives, in order to generate a myriad of new ones?
Puzzelgame Project-W wint wedstrijd Universiteit Utrecht
Met het zelfgemaakt computerspel Project-W heeft Jesse Vogel de hoofdprijs van 1500 euro gewonnen in de Creative Game Challenge. Voor deze wedstrijd van de Universiteit Utrecht bedachten en maakten meer dan 100 middelbare scholieren zelf een computergame. De winnaars in de verschillende categorieën werden op vrijdag 25 juni bekendgemaakt.
In de puzzelgame Project-W probeert de speler overstromende landen te redden door het water op een slimme manier langs sluizen te leiden. De jury was erg te spreken over dit computerspel, bedacht en gemaakt door Jesse Vogel van het Gomarus College in Groningen.
"Project-W is een leuke en originele puzzelgame met puzzels die moeilijk genoeg zijn om je er in vast te bijten, maar niet zo moeilijk dat ze je tot wanhoop drijven", aldus de jury. "Daarbij heeft het wedstrijdthema Water enorm mooi verwerkt in de gameplay."
Eerste, tweede en derde prijs
De tweede prijs van 1000 euro ging naar Jesse Tilro van de RSG Hoekschewaard in Oud Beijerland met zijn spel Sunrise. In deze 3D-game moet de speler gebruik maken van liften, platformen en verschuifbare dozen om kostbaar water te vervoeren in een sterk opgewarmde wereld.
Niek Moesker, Niek Boer en Rein Scholte (coach) van de Dr. Aletta Jacobs College in Hoogezand haalden de derde prijs van 800 euro binnen. Hun spel Tsunami! sprak de jury aan door de leuke en uitdagende gameplay.

Students win both state, New England outdoors writing contests
"It's relaxing, it gives you time to think. It gives you a different outlook on life and the world," she said Friday. Usually not much of an outdoors person, she drew inspiration in the quiet of nature while fishing with her sister and another relative at Moore Dam last year.
This fall, when she saw the notice of the New England Outdoor Writers Association's 2013 Youth Writing Contest posted on her classroom wall, she reached back to the day of fishing.
After writing the best essay in the senior (grades 9-12) division for the state, Brown, a freshman at Lin-Wood High School in Lincoln, went on to win first place overall for New England. Alysse Cleasby, a sixth-grader at Chichester Central School, wrote the winning essay in the junior (grades 6-8) division for New Hampshire, and first place overall for New England.
Students were asked to write an essay of not more than 500 words on an outdoor activity that increased enjoyment and knowledge of nature and natural resources.
Dr. Harold Lyon, board member of NEOWA and chair of the contest, said he is very proud of the young writers, and the English teachers who encouraged them, Kate Dockham of Chichester Central School and Heather Krill of Lin-Wood High School. Lyon visited the two schools and presented the winners with certificates for the contests, and two checks each, $50 each for the state contest, and $100 each for the New England. He also gave each teacher a red rose "to acknowledge their inspiring influence behind the scenes."
Brown and Cleasby will have their essays published in a future issue of North Woods Sporting Journal (sportingjournal.com) as part of the prize package.

MCLGarrett : when did you bought the shirt? it has been reprinted and i wonder if it still has those named flaws :-/
MCLGarrett on Mar 21, 2013 at 16:47:43
I absolutely loved this shirt...until I washed it once. I've barely worn it since buying it because of how horribly it fared. After three washes, the purple is gone completely and the blue is mostly brown. Love the concept, but the execution leaves much to be desired. This is the only shirt I've ever been disappointed in from Threadless. Any chance of a non-UV version that has the cat all the time while retaining the glow-in-the-dark face?

"Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win."
I am so stirred by this entry's title quote by Bernadette Devlin that I am considering printing it across the back windshield of my car. Devlin does not glamorize risk, but instead acknowledges the gritty truth that we must first be willing to struggle, before we may dare to achieve and accomplish. Risk, after all, is not for the faint of heart.
Perhaps one of the truest forms of life, is a life of risks. If we are too timid to allow ourselves to become vulnerable, too unsure to be willing to put everything on the line, we will never really experience the abundance of opportunity life can offer.
What losses may we suffer, should we take a risk? What is so critically important to us, that we cannot seem to let it go of, in order to venture into the unknown? Our reputation? Our money, and material goods? Our dignity or our pride?
Chances are you've asked yourself, before a risk-requiring situation, "What's the worse that could happen?"
Considering my immensely vivid imagination, I can usually answer that same question with numerous possible results that would all be hard to swallow.
Recently though, I've come to the conclusion though, that perhaps we should not ask, "What's the worse that could happen?" in regards to the actual risk, but that same question in regards to what could happen if we do not try.
In doing this, I've noticed that the worse that could happen if I do not try at all, is most likely burden me more that if the worse happened from taking a risk. I know now that if I do not take the chances I have to make life happen, then life, as I desire it, may never happen at all.
I believe most of us would coincide that a life full of risk, and even mistakes, is more honorable than a life of never trying at all. Therefore, we should, with a granted extent of caution, embrace the opportunities that rest in the risks given to us.
Since spending this summer living in New York City (the event in which this blog's title was originally given for), I have been desperate to return and make NYC my home. Many great obstacles stand in my way, and while my parents are strongly advising me to wait until everything is perfectly aligned for me to move to NYC, I've made a monumental decision of my own.
When the new year arrives, no matter what the situation, no matter how much struggle may lie ahead, I am packing my most precious belongings, leaving all else behind, moving to NYC, perhaps with no job ahead, weak funding in the bank, complete uncertainty, and taking the greatest risk of my life, risking my life itself, to accomplish all that I passionately desire to do. As Ella Williams smartly said: "Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it."
Do you consider yourself a risk-taker? Are there any risks you'd like to take but are still unsure about? What is the greatest risk you've taken? Are there any risks you did not take, but now regret not taking? Other thoughts?

I guess, 2 quotes that I could personally use towards myself, to piggyback off of your statement would be:
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live."
~Leo F. Buscaqila
"Risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."
~ Leo F. Buscaqulia
There are always things, circumstances, new avenues etc, just naturally that you would be afraid of…given the fact, that's just apart of life & growing. I tend to find myself taking baby steps...well more like *smile* "toddler steps" , while I take on the different "risk" of life so to speak.
I determine each obstacle/challenge by what I call "in the season" according to how it starts off, that's how I try to determine, how it'll end. Though, of course no one can predict, or quite know what will happen from moment to moment, we can all rest a sure what risk we will automally be willing to take as we walk through. I do :O)
Hope your cool :O) - 11:35 AM

hello dear friend:)it's been a while...i loved reading this,only to read that amazing quote and to realize what does it mean to me...
it means a lot and i think it's a part of my personality, i never give up fighting for something i know it's good and it can make me better from various points of view!
i dare to struggle and i might have the chance to win if i do so:)
amazing post, always a pleasure to read your thoughts or your reflections on others ideas!
hope you're ok,wish you all the best! - 12:21 PM

i have another quote to add - it's beside my chair in my office and it reminds me of what you speak of.
"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always be where you've already been."
I'm sad to say I am not a risk taker yet I wish that i was much of the time. seems several bloggers are talking on this subject lately - you write about it with just wisdom, and to be so young amazes me.
thank you for your comments on our blog. - 12:34 PM

Fantastic. One of my favorite risk-related quotes is "You live with what you tolerate"
I'm something of a risk taker and have rarely regretted the adventures that I've embarked on. I quit a swanky job to move to Asia and teach and I moved to New Zealand with a boy I had been dating for two months. And both worked out.
Leap and the net will appear, right?
Best of luck on your move, you plucky thing! - 1:20 PM
- deep_in_vogue said...
Another amazing post with incredible images. I do consider myself a risk taker, there is no thrill to life without it. The greatest risk I've ever taken? I would say moving half the way across the world to a country where I didn't speak the language. But that wouldn't be right. In my ming, it would've been a bigger risk if I would've stayed where I was.

taking a risk, is the hardest but most rewarding thing to do.
i am picking up and moving to nyc in the new year too.
there is nothing to lose. if you are yourself and try hard, things fall into place. - 3:16 PM
- Lea Anne said...
It's so funny that you wrote about the risk you would like to take being moving to NYC, because I was going to say that was the biggest risk I have taken thus far in life.
When I graduated from college in Virginia, I moved to NYC with no job and a one month sublet. I had to find a job and place to live in one month! It was scary but one of the greatest things I have ever done! The opportunities that I have been given since moving here have been amazing, and I can't even imagine what my life would be like had I not taken the risk!
Also, I am so in love with the picture of the girl in the striped dress and tights, laying on her back blowing a bubble, where is that from? It's SO beautiful! - 3:36 PM

How exciting for you to be moving to NYC! I hope everything goes well for you. Moving can be hard, but it can also be extremely enjoyable if you think of it as a big adventure!
Beautiful post. I have been in many situations where I'm too scarred to take a risk, and then I regret it terribly. That is something I'd like to change. - 4:08 PM
- Paloma said...
You really have a thing with the risk-safety dilemma! I agree with you. Certain kind of people -sensitive, art-esque- really need to dare.
Last pic is incredible. - 4:27 PM

I'm absolutly NOT a risk taker...
I think a lot about everything I'm doing, and definitl I do not like take risk...
Maybe I should try and take some risks sometimes, it might be fun.

hey Girl!
Your post is beautiful- and the pics adorable.
Risk must be taken, and there will always be questions asked in afterhand;
somethimes we regret, but Its worse to live a life, and then regret that you didn`t live your life ... - 4:53 PM
- Miss Karen said...
Oh this is such a timely post! I love everything about it. You mentioned that your parents wanted everything to align before you made the big move and I think that's an attitude that I and a lot of people share also. It's like, we delay taking the plunge until everything is perfect but the fact is, we can't make everything perfect.
Next year I'll be taking a lot more risks and throwing myself into the great unknown - who knows what will happen but it will sure be one hell of a ride!
PS. Thank you for comments on my blog - they always make me smile and I'm touched that you'd take the time out to even visit my blog when you're so busy! - 5:48 PM

Sweetie, what a fabulous post. Beautiful words and images.
I especially liked "perhaps we should not ask, "What's the worse that could happen?" in regards to the actual risk, but that same question in regards to what could happen if we do not try."
Thats what I tell myself when being brave and taking risks! I always think I'd be more miserable not having tried something than trying and having something go "wrong".
Good luck with your move and good on you!
The bravest thing I ever did, was move country, not knowing a single soul! I made up my mind on a whim and left two weeks later with two suitcases! Looking back I don't know how I did it, but I did and its the best thing I ever did.
I'm sure it will be the same for you! xxx - 10:01 PM
- i.d. said...
I believe in taking risks, especially when you're young(er) and don't have commitments to family, a mortgage, etc. I commend you for making the decision to move to NYC and have no doubt that if you believe in yourself and work hard, you will succeed!
I also don't think it's necessary to have a plan - my parents are all about having a 3-year plan, a 5-year plan, etc. but I think such an attitude forecloses opportunities that might come your way.
Next year will be big for me too - I am quitting my job to study fashion! Eek! xx

Hi darling!
Thanks for stopping by my blog...
Well...I've been in the same situation as you last year...I had made a decision to leave Toronto and move to Eastern Europe. My parents and friends thought I was crazy, because I had a job and a life in Toronto, but was willing to give all that up for a dream. So they were all begging me to stay...but after visiting Europe, I fell in love with it and new my heart was there...SO I packed my bags and moved there...Since I had relatives in Eastern Europe, that's where I headed...I was there for a month, at which point I realized that my spiritual path would suffer if I had stayed there any longer, in short it was just very corrupt place to be in and there were other issues....So I went back to Toronto without any regrets in my mind. I was proud of the risk that I had taken. ( quit my job, sold my car) Believe me it was hard going back, because I had to start from the scratch...But guess what? that's exactly what I needed...My life changed dramatically after I came back and I couldn't be happier. I have a career I love and a man that is one in a million. My dream to move to Europe remains...Different location and I have also done my research this time and will be more careful about it. I won't rush...
Bottom line: Listen to your heart, and it will tell you what to do...Sometimes the only way to learn is to make a mistake. Mistakes make us stronger, they push us to grow and learn more about ourselves and the world. Life is there to live and not be scared and stuck in your comfort zone. I'm sure you will succeed darling! some reccomendations...if you haven't read or watched " the Secret" you should, also read " five wishes" and " Awakening to your life's purposes" . Those books are life changing and will take your through a journey of self discovery...Consider reading them to help you mentally and spiritually when you move to New York, a step closer to your DREAM :)

I think that in order to take risks, one has to stop being afraid to let things go...everything is transient

i'm not a risk-taker, when to watch a horror movie, walking alone in the night or doing bungee jumping refers.
i am a risk-taker when it refers to my social life, when it refers to fashion and when it refers to living my life.

Hello you gorgeous!
I am so happy i visited your amazing blog this rainy morning.
You just take my breath away. So many of your words are going through my mind a lot, but i never write them down (or maybe i just can't...).
I often ask myself what's the worst that culd happen and it is never so bad it should hold me back.
I take risks, definitely. But not the good risks at the moment.
I am not loving myself, that's the biggest and i think only problem i am having at the moment.
But how do you learn to love yourself? Lately i've been thinking maybe it's something you are born with or not.
Sorry, i am going off topic.
You just make me think dear.
In a good way.
I am forever grateful to you, Susanna.
You are in my heart.

oh how i have missed you.
for reals.
work must be hectic.
just remember to breathe and take one day at a time.
if it is burning a desire in your heart. i say go for it.
if you have the passion and drive...it will work.
i think you already have your mind set... and obviously god is stiring this desire in you, so he will provide. bottom-line.
i moved to South Africa for a man ;) pretty big risk, and i have never regretted a single moment.
once you are there...things will fall into place.
carry your faith with you, and you will be comforted.
thanks for all your amazing-ness.

Lovely post. I think you are making the right decision. Be brave.
I feel the same way as deep_in_vogue when she said
"In my mind, it would've been a bigger risk if I would've stayed where I was."
It reminds me of when I moved away from my small home town for the big city. Now I'm getting stir crazy AGAIN and hope to leave for my next adventure after school!

Hi S-C!
First, let me say thank you for always having the most amazing photos - I am constantly impressed by your selections! The luxurious long-hair photos today are no exception . . .
As for risk: I have become more risk-averse as I have gotten older. I used to pick up and move to any corner of the globe on a moment's notice, but now I have become sort of a homing pigeon around the Northeast - not really sure why??
Excellent food for thought, darling!
- ♥ fashion chalet said...
Always ethereal.
Always wonderful.
Your blog is just such a dreamy place to escape to!! <3
Thanks for the comment, haha, "kindly borrow" yes you may. Which hi-tops do you have?? I love them too. When I was in Middle School I had the black hi tops I miss them so much now. All I have as of today are the black lo tops and pink hi tops haha (they were $10!)
Hoping the Holiday season is treating you well. I have a concert to go to tomorrow night (Holiday Cheer by the Philharmonic) and then a Festive Holiday Party with some family and friends at my Aunt's place Saturday! :)
How about you? How are things?? :)

- rachel said...
hey S-C! great post, I would rather too take a risk than wonder what might have been..
oh and goodluck on your plans to move to NY! sounds exciting :) I myself am planning to move there next year, but will only stay for a little bit.
I think regarding risks, I learned that it's worth the taking. Especially if you have Someone backing you up ;) one of the things I've learned from moving here:
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9
all my plans for this year just crumbled and some relationships have suffered and I realized that really, if we go along our lives apart from His plan, we may end up with unexpected pain. Now I'm rebuilding new plans and making sure that I ask for all the guidance that I need :)
wish you all the best in your big move!
- DaisyChain said...
I love love love the pictures.
Maybe one day I'll write about risks I've taken,
not yet, but one day.
And you really should make the quote in to a car sticker. - 1:20 PM
- Rice and Peace said...
Good for you! I think that is a wonderful idea. New York is a great place full of inspirations and art. I lived there for a couple of years, moved there all by myself, and that was one of the scariest and bravest things I have done.
I think it it great that you realize these things now and follow your own path despite your parents advice because the thing I look back on with the most regret is the many years that I did the safe thing that my parents advised me to do instead of following what my inner voice told me. I ended up in law school instead of the arts, which was my true passion. Now I wish I would have listened to myself from the beginning because I didn't study my true passions in school. Parents only want the best for their children and I think it can be hard for many of them to know that their children are separate individuals with their own passions.
Also, I am so glad you like the redesign of my blog! And thank you for the nice comments :) It is great that you are gifting from Ten Thousand Villages too. I just found out about it last year and it makes me feel so good to give their gifts. - 1:23 PM

"...if I do not take the chances I have to make life happen, then life, as I desire it, may never happen at all".
I adored this phrase, so true, it reflects the way I have always led my life, I think that is the kind of thought that has pushed me to take basically every risk I've taken in my life...
And about risks, I think that more than often, they are not as scary as they seem. Sometimes I watch little kids, trying to be brave enough to dive into a pool or go down a slide and you think "oh, what is he scared of? it's just a pool" but then, we act just like them when facing our adult risks, you know?
And I looooved what you wrote in the end, about moving back to NYC against all odds, hahaha, S-C you are such a horse!!! (I am a HUGE fan of chinese horoscopes). You just do as you please and there's no (and never will be) stopping you. I loved that, since I am a horse too, you made me remember when I moved out of my parent's house almost penniless to come live in the city. So my advice, GO! GO! GO! And besides, your horse nature grants you everything to make it there: courage, eloquence, charming intelligence, practicality and an ability to learn and work like no one else. Oh, and inimitable, flawless style as well (... erm and a bit of ego but then again, we can't be perfect, haha).
A new year is the best time to take off, so fly!
My best wishes are with you S-C! Please keep us posted on what happens next!
Oh and thanks for your comment! Those pictures, the ones that look like abstract paintings, are actually pictures of the moon :D, hence the song and the writing...
Cheers! - 2:14 PM

i am not a risk taker without regard to consequences, rather i would take calculted risk. you are right, not doing anything is the worst risk of all.

Sentiment or Psychology makes sense to me as I get older/wiser??? but to some extent seem to be synonyms. On the other hand if we few sentiment as the outlook on things...in other words; do we expect things to get better or worse remain the same or become more uncertain then we could view Psychology as the willingness to take risk or not...I guess tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. But that almost brings us back full-circle, doesn't it? 'Life is a risk' and full of choices that we have to take or not. S.C you are a fabulous & talented spirit. Hope you have a great Holiday seasons dear...~Blessings as always!

- Songy said...
You've got to take risk. Where's fun in it if you don't.
For example, I've never stayed in a job for more than 2 years. It's risky for sure to change work. Sometimes, you find a really great manager to work with(as I said earlier) and move on which is risky. I still did it to re-evaluate things. Try new things and find something you love. Then you can stay there as long as you want. I haven't found mine yet. - 8:53 PM

Hi Sussana! beautiful post as usual...amazing pictures, I love the pictures with all the girls dancing with long hair and delicate dresses
- D said...
i really do consider myself a risk taker,even though im labeled this everyday of my life because of my fashions,but i know that the bigger the risk the larger the gain or even loss,if you put enough of your heart,dedication into that one goal then i know for sure that that risk will become an huge success
- CHARMAINE said...
wow this post really hit close to heart.. there are are so many things i want to do but i'm just too scared too!
i think i need to take that step.. and just DO IT instead of thinking too much.. - 2:08 AM
- Cate said...
Sometimes it is good to take a risk. Whenever I take a ridiculous risk, picturesquely speaking bet all my money on the slowest horse in the race, I get that exhilarated feeling and I just wanna laugh madly like 'The Joker'. No, of course I don't take risks like that, but I think about it, if it is worth taking the risk, and what the odds are, but even if the odds are against me sometimes, I do take a risk and - who dares wins.
Always plaing it safe is boring.
My answer to everything is that you only live once so you have to make the best of it.
By the way, thanks for getting back to my blog and reading my review. Your opinion really helped me - yes, I've noticed too that people get tired of too much reading.
Cate - 5:17 AM
- sophie ward said...
TAKE THE RISK! You will make it in New York. Someway I know it. Just be open to the possibilities of whatever happens. If you stay zoned on your goal, nothing is not a step in the right direction.
Your writing was a lucky and perfectly timed surprise: you speak from a human place, and I love your philosophical mind.
Oh how I would love to philosophize with you one day! See you in NY perhaps! :) - 5:52 AM

- maveri_ck<3 said...
i think i am a huge risk taker- especially when it comes to my future. instead of majoring in something more "normal" like business, med, or political... ii totally follwed my heart and chose fashion. Its a total risk because not everyone can be fashion designers and only a few will actually make it... but its a risk i have to take or else ill just wonder what it would have been. no regrets in that :)
- KATLIN said...
I love that bite off more than you can chew quote!! Your moving to NY is similar to my own wanting to live there this summer. My mom really doesn't want me to do it since I would save money by just working and staying home, but I'm really determined to do it even if I don't have lots of money! Oh, and we can also ask ourselves, "What's the BEST that could happen!" :)

I often think about taking risks in life. I think of the scene in Donnie Darko when the teacher tries to teach the class about fear and love, and how fear holds you back. I think I need to take more risks in life, after all security is just a state of mind for all of us, what is security really? I would rather look back and regret something rather than look back and think 'what if...'

love the photos sc :) they're amazing
i don't think i would consider myself a risktaker. then again, i don't think i've really ever had to take a huge risk.
it's definitely important to take risks seometimes, i think, cuz there's always the "what if" factor. but like you, my imagination also thinks up possibilities i'd rather not risk hahah - 11:40 PM
- MG said...
Hi S-C! I love ALLLL your pics!! Where do they come from??
I'm not sure if I could call myself a risk taker, exactly. I'm more of a really impulsive person that does things without thinking them through, so, I don't take the fact that it could be a "risk" into consideration. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, but I always learn from the experiences. Perhaps if I wasn't so impulsive, and decided to think before I act, I'd probably still be a risk taker. I like the wild side :P
What about you?

I totally agree with u. Taking chances is a greater way of living, 'cause yes, we make mistakes but mistakes are what make us grow, if we don't choose our way, if we just let life happen without taking any part in it, it isn't as good as it could really be.

Wow I have just looked at youre blog by chance because I liked the title and I have to say this is the only post I have looked at and I am hooked. Like you I really want to move to NYC, I live in England, am 18 and currently study Fashion but my course finishes in a year and after that it should be University but I have such an urge to go to New York. The past summer I travelled around Europe with my friend and went to Barcelona, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Rome, Milan, Prague, Budapest, Athens and many other amazing cities and it totally opened my eyes to the world basically. But obviously I had to come home and get back into my normal routine but I want nothing more than to get out and live my life in a big city like NY, it's obviously so amazing for fashion but it's more the fact I would be living on my own and doing what I want with my life not what is expected of me from what my friends have done, what my sister has done or what my parents think I should do. At the same time as me feeling all this I am very scared about the whole safety aspect as I would be a 20 year old English girl with no friends, probably not much money and no idea of the place I am living but as scary as that is it is exciting aswell. Wow I have been rambling on now... Basically main point I love your blog and think you should totally move to NY. Life is about taking chances and doing things that YOU want to do as has been said in many a film, it's your life and nobody else so go and live it!
Hi that sounds like an amazing trip (above) I would love to do something like that. Anyhow, I love this blog TOTALLY ADDICTED. In particular the photos in this post are magnificent!

Fantasia says that the first single from her fourth studio album is due this summer with the LP following at the end of the year.
Speaking with Go Memphis, the American Idol alum says she has played a greater role in the album's direction than on previous sessions:
"Of course, the pressure is always on to give the fans more of Fantasia and to allow them to see my growth. This time around, I have more creative input and am writing a lot. I think everyone will be quite pleased with where I am going this go-'round."
The mother of two adds that balancing her career and family is a constant challenge:
"I've learned how to balance my time between being a single working mother and an entertainer. My children mean the world to me, and that's what helps me to make my career my No. 2 priority after being a mother first."

Trojans Begin Regular Season Against Mississippi State Friday, Open Trojan Arena
By: Josh Rultenberg
Updated: November 8, 2012
TROY, Ala. - The 2012-13 season officially begins on Friday for the Troy men's basketball team, as they face SEC opponent Mississippi State in the first regular season game ever at the brand new Trojan Arena. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
Friday also marks the first time that an SEC team will visit Troy for basketball. Earlier this year, Mississippi State became the first SEC school to visit Troy in football.
Troy came out victorious in its final preseason exhibition on Monday night against Alaska-Anchorage, 61-57. Junior transfer Hunter Williams led the squad with 17 points and four assists, while Emil Jones was strong with 12 points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Josh Warren, another newcomer to the program, tore down nine offensive boards, something that no Trojan has done in a regular season game since 2003.
Mississippi State is going through changes as well, with all five new starters and a first-year head coach. Jalen Steele led the Bulldogs in their 80-74 exhibition win over William Carey on Sunday, scoring 17 points in 32 minutes. Wendell Lewis, Fred Thomas and Colin Borchert each had 15 points.
Troy has never defeated Mississippi State, losing all nine matchups. Last season, the Trojans fell to the Bulldogs, 106-68, in Starkville, Miss.
Historically, the Trojans have done extremely well in their home openers, winning 27-of-30 during the Don Maestri era.
Tickets for the game are still available, however fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets soon.
For more information on Troy Athletics, be sure to visit TroyTrojans.com. Fans can also find Troy on Twitter at @TroyAthletics or on Facebook at Facebook.com/TroyAthletics.

Exploring web-based groupware tools
Open source groupware tools have come of age. You are no longer limited to email and an address book. Some of these tools surpass the commercial alternatives – once you get them installed.
Web-based groupware tools offer simplicity for today's busy workgroup. From any web-ready computer with access to the groupware system, you can read your mail, examine your calendar, and check off items in your ToDo list. But which tool is right for your network? I decided to compare some of the more promising open source, web-based groupware collaboration alternatives.
Because I cannot do justice to all of the various products in this growing field, I have limited the study to products for which the emphasis is not on a specific task but, rather, on providing a collection of classic groupware collaboration options such as email, calendaring, contacts, and task management. Some of the shared task components included in this article are simple lists, and others are more like full-blown project management tools.

Capturx Software from Adapx speeds data capture and collaboration by turning natural speech, sketch, and handwriting into actionable data in Microsoft Office, SharePoint, CRM, ERP, GIS, C2, C4ISR systems and many other back-end systems. By simply speaking and writing, teams get instant access to structured data collected on paper, touchscreens, mobile devices, and wall displays. A range of enterprises and agencies speed workflows and reduce risk by using Capturx to bypass data transcription from paper and cumbersome keyboard- and menu-driven interfaces. Adapx has strategic relationships with Microsoft, ESRI, In-Q-Tel, and works with standard digital pen technology from Anoto.
» Read more about Capturx
Capturx enables teams to automate a range of data collection scenarios, so they can speed data collection and sharing, while eliminating data entry time and costs. With Capturx, teams can enter data on tablets or collect data with Anoto digital pens on standard paper forms, maps, CAD prints, and notebooks. Data is automatically integrated and correctly formatted into OneNote, Excel, SharePoint, ArcGIS, or PDF files. Capturx uses advanced character recognition in Office apps to make data available for analysis, workflow automation, or use in other applications. Teams can track the actual date, time, and author of each entry – and even the location from where it was sent – to help validate data and meet compliance requirements.
» Read more about Data Collection
Capturx automates inspection paperwork enabling teams to identify and fix issues faster without the costs and delays of data-entry, scanning, or compliance risks from missing or inaccessible data. Managers provide the same form, map, or CAD drawing whether the team members type on tablet touchscreens or write on paper with digital pens.

Eating like a King
Bra, Govone, Rivoli, Venaria Reale
Bra (Cn)
"Le stelle sono tante milioni di milioni, la stella di Negroni, vuol dire qualità". (There are many millions of stars, but the Negroni star means quality). A commercial jingle featured on one of the last Carosello shows (a cavalcade of television advertisements aired at 8:30 p.m. in Italy during the 1950's 60's and 70's that children could stay up to watch before being sent to bed) before it ended, never to be seen on Italian television again.
Presenting Carosello again wouldn't be a bad idea to tell the story of how the Piemonte region, in only a few short years, has become a main attraction in the firmament of regions capable of blending loisir, food and art. The intuition of creating a co-existence between historic-architectural heritage and contemporary art with cuisine in the region that brought Slow Food to life was a winning one and has encouraged four great chefs to transfer to four Royal Residences.
Crowned with olympic stars from above their white chef's toques, Alfredo Russo, Davide Scabin, Ugo Alciati and Pier Bussetti have embraced the challenge, perceiving that they cannot limit themselves to simply recuperating Piemonte's gastronomic tradition, but they must re-elaborate it with contemporary taste and creativity.
"Renewing tradition with imagination" is the maxim adopted by Alfredo Russo from Dolce Stil Novo who has accepted the invitation to move to the last floor of the east tower of the largest of all the Savoy Residences in Piemonte, the Reggia di Venaria Reale. Diners can enjoy a view fit for a king from the restaurant's large terrace: the Castelvecchio, the Peschiera (fish pond) with the Penone-Pejrone hazelnut grove, the Fontana del Cervo while savouring the best vitello tonnato (veal with tuna sauce) with glazed citrus fruits or an egg pasta dressed with a mousse of parmesans that have three different maturations.
Davide Scabin, a more experimental and avant-garde chef, inaugurated his Combal.zero restaurant at the Castello di Rivoli in 2002. One of the most talented interpreters of vanguard European cuisine moved to the heart of contemporary art. This Food designer teaches industrial design at the Polytechnic University of Torino and enjoys breaking down foods to then recompose their ingredients: semi-solid soups and semi-liquid pizzas. "A dish of high quality cuisine must be able to be reproduced", he states. This is a concept that Andy Warhol applied to works of art. From the classic Cybereggs, an egg yolk with caviar wrapped in transparent film and served with scalpels and made to explode directly in one's mouth to quail and tripe soup or fassone veal cutlets breaded in bread sticks….
South of Rivoli leads to Bra, the capital of Slow Food, land of Barolo and Barbaresco wines. The Agenzia di Pollenzo is only a handful of kilometers from here. Pollenzo is the home of two avant-garde institutions on the international fine food and wine panorama: the Università di Scienze Gastronomiche (University of Gastronomic Sciences) – training and research centre for those who work towards renewed agriculture, the conservation of biodiversity and an organic rapport between gastronomy and agricultural science – and the Banca del Vino – for a total of 100,000 bottles arriving from 300 winemaking companies – that aspire to preserve the historic memory of Italian wines.
Ugo Alciati, former owner of the "Da Guido" restaurant in Costigliole d'Asti, moved here. In cool brick rooms, Alciati re-interprets traditional recipes with simple creativity and a lot of class. Among the unforgettable dishes: eel and glazed lemon Carnaroli risotto, grey rabbit from Carmagnola and bread and chocolate.
Pier Bussetti transfers historic Locanda Mongreno to the Castello di Govone, summer residence of King Carlo Felice, approximately 30 kilometres from Pollenzo in the direction of Asti. The restaurant is located in the castle's former stables. Bussetti, Food design professor at Torino's Iaad (Applied Art and Design Institute), is the creator of the Spoon shock notorious' spark: a cube of fresh tuna on tomato with a small slice of ginger and balsamic vinegar to be eaten in a single bite and accompanied immediately after by a capsule containing a blend of oriental spices, white wine and dry vermouth.
At the end of this transversal voyage between art, architecture and palate, a witticism by Altan comes to mind: in an issue of MicroMega dedicated to food and a commitment to it Cipputi says "You are what you eat." and his friend replies "My compliments to the chef."

Occupy Atlantic City – Part Two
Friday, October 14th, 2011ATLANTIC CITY — We told you momentum was growing at a rapid pace for the planned Occupy Atlantic City this Saturday Oct., 15, at 12:45pm (at New Haven Beach in Ventnor).
First, the Occupy Atlantic City group ALREADY has a new logo (a different one since this morning; see it at left) and second, AC Weekly columnist Geoff Rosenberger talks about it in his current column, which just went live on the ACWeekly.com site a few moments ago. (Read it here.)
We'd also suggest you check out this week's cover story interview with Stephen Stills who talks about some of the woes going on within America.

Update: Jury acquits UWRF prof Barnett in sex assault case
In a verdict reached Saturday morning, a St. Croix County jury acquitted UW-River Falls professor Thomas William Barnett of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl last summer in a Hudson movie theater. Jurors were unable to reach a verdict Friday afternoon and evening and were excused at about 8 p.m. Friday, said St. Croix County Clerk of Court Lori Meyer. The seven-man, five-woman panel reconvened Saturday at 9 a.m. and just after 11 a.m. announced an acquittal on both counts.By: Doug Stohlberg, Hudson Star-Observer

settlement ? re. permanent lifestyle changes
I am not at the point of settlement yet, but it won't be long and I want to be prepared. At this point, I am about to have a stimulator inplanted in my back and if that does not work for the pain, I will have a moraphine pump inplanted. Also, for my bladder issue, I am having to self-cath. throughout the day and will have to do this for the long term. Finally, I have uncontrollable gas, which is simply humniliating. I have no warning and I can not do anything about it.
My question is this, these procedures will hopefully get me to the point that I don't have the chronic pain everyday and I won't have the bladder issues (having to go every hr. or wetting myself), so I will hopfully be able to go back to work. When it come time to settle, will they take into consideration that I will have to live my life using a cath. (which can have its own downside of causing infections etc.) and I have a stimulator inplanted in me? Not to mention, that even if I can find work, no one is going to want to work with me if I am always passing gas. (Sorry to even have to mention it here, but I need to know.) Or will they say that with these treatments, I am doing a lot better, so I should not get as much in the settlement because I am able to go back to work. Does that question make sense? BTW, I live in VA, if that helps. Thanks. |

RE: settlement ? re. permanent lifestyle changes
I would think that with your injuries and if placed on restrictions from your Drs, That any settlement would be based on your rating. and IF the Drs will even let you return to work? As for your other problem I would mention it to your Dr as there may be something they can prescribe to help you with that. Take care.

Wage Replacement (Temporary total or partial)
While temporarily unable to perform any work, an employee is entitled to 2/3 of his or her gross average weekly wage up to a set maximum weekly limit. There must be seven (7) days of disability before benefits are payable. However, if disabled for more than three weeks, the employee receives payment for the first seven days. Benefits cannot exceed 500 weeks unless the person is totally and permanently disabled. If the injured employee cannot return to regular work and is given a light duty job at a lower wage, benefits are 2/3 of the difference between the pre-injury wage and the current pay up to the maximum weekly limit. Cost of living supplements are not paid on temporary partial benefits. Lifetime Medical Benefits Medical expenses for conditions caused by the accident or occupational disease are payable for as long as necessary, provided a claim was filed by the employee within the required time period. The employee must select a doctor from a panel of three physicians provided by the employer/carrier. If a panel is not offered after notice of the accident, the employee may seek treatment from any physician. The treating physician may refer the employee to other doctors. Once treatment begins, the physician cannot be changed without approval of the employer/carrier or after a hearing by the Commission. The employee must cooperate with medical treatment or the weekly benefits may be suspended. Medical bills should be sent to the insurance carrier for payment. Permanent Partial Impairment Separate benefits are payable for the permanent loss of use of a body part such as an arm, leg, finger, or eye. Vision and hearing loss, as well as disfigurement may also be compensated. This does not include the back, neck or body as a whole. Benefits are for a specific number of weeks depending on the percentage of loss. The employee can receive these benefits while working if maximum medical improvement has been reached. Permanent and Total Disability Lifetime wage benefits may be payable if an individual loses both hands, arms, feet, legs, eyes, or any two in the same accident, or is paralyzed or disabled from a severe brain injury.

RE: settlement ? re. permanent lifestyle changes
I agree with Tuffy on this one. You should ahve ALL of Your Issues included in Your Rating, and You may not even be Released By Your Dr. at this Time to Return to Work. My Dr. due to My Back Injury has Stated In a Depo. that I am Disabled and not able to Return to Work, and the Same May Happen with You. It's all going to Depend on the Rating given to You by Your Dr., but You should be Commended for trying to Return to Work with so Many Issues! Best of Luck, and Please keep us Informed on Your Situation!!

RE: settlement ? re. permanent lifestyle changes
If things become such an issue, fighting for what you think is right, then please by all means, simply call a work comp Attorney. You don't have to pay them for the call, and maybe they can lead you in the direction you need to follow.

RE: settlement ? re. permanent lifestyle changes
does virginia use the AMA guides to calculate a spinal impairment rating?
If so, I don't recall those items being included. You should discuss the spinal rating factors with your physican. they may even have a copy of the rating manual and you can review such areas as the Range of Motion tables and rating procedures. There also maybe a copy of the AMA guides in your local library or your atty may have a copy. you, of course, can purchase it for around $200 directly from the AMA. AMA ratings attempt to be very objective and try to reduce subjectivity so there is little variance from physcian to physcian. |

RE: settlement ? re. permanent lifestyle changes
Can anyone tell me what a rating would be for permanent upper extremity of the dominant hand/wrist would be in NH? I know you have to go for a rating with the doctor, but i cannot find anywhere where i can roughly see what percentage range it could be in.
How do you calculate, as someone on here once said you multiply the weeks times such and such. I know NH has 250 weeks it says for the hand impairment. Do you multiply what i was recieving weekly while out of work , times the 250 weeks? Sorry, but i am very confused. What if he says i have a 2% rating and i got 334 dollars a week while out of work? How would i figure that? Plus i thought i read somewhere that being a dominant hand is automatically 20%. Is that true? If someone on here settled with their dominant hand, maybe you can help me. Thanks. carpal tunnel recurrence/ neuropathy / RSD. 1/29/07 injury date. Permanent. PIR settlement 8/4/08 10% |

Sail-World.com : The Yacht that fell into foul company - drugs, dead body, wrecked
The Yacht that fell into foul company - drugs, dead body, wrecked
'Jereve as she was found by divers on an atoll near Tonga' .
Originally called Jonathan, until this year the 1991 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44 called Jereve lead the normal exotic life of a cruising boat with loving owners, sailing between the Med and the Caribbean. So how did she end up washed up on a reef in Tonga with 204kg of cocaine and the decomposed body of one of her crew? Authorities know some of the answers to the mystery but not all.
As she was - a happy-looking Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44. Her way to a watery grave began with her sale to new owners earlier this year in Panama - .. .
In the middle of this year, it was for sale in Panama. Then in August, acting on a tip-off from a US drug agency, Australian Federal Police began tracking the yacht after it cleared customs with two crew in Ecuador on August 20, indicating it was sailing across the Pacific towards Australia. It was a suspected drug operation by a known crime syndicate. Already aware of the identity of the two crew, they began to track its movements.
They lost track of it near the Cook Islands, but on October 05, just 35 days after it departed from Ecuador, the yacht reappeared, washed up on Luatatifo Atoll about 10nm from Tonga.
Authorities investigating the yacht's contents - .. .
Some local divers made the gruesome discovery and reported their findings. Tongan authorities confirmed that there was a body on the deck, badly decomposed by the sun, and 204 1kg blocks of cocaine hidden in the hull, but no sign of the other crew member.
The whereabouts of the yacht's missing crew member is being investigated and the cause of death of the body found onboard is the subject of a Tongan inquest.
The questions remain. Is the other crew member still alive? If so where is he? Was there foul play in the death of the discovered crew member? Tongan authorities have not yet ruled the death suspicious, but the drugs on board tell their own story.
In an outstanding example of global and regional police co-operation, Tonga, Cook Islands, Australia and the USA have cooperated in the tracking of the yacht.

In 2004, the Sociedad Geológica Mexicana (Geological Society of México) celebrated its first centenary. To mark this milestone, the society published (in Spanish) a collection of papers that present the state of the art in some areas of Mexican geology. The geological community will find in this English-language version of the volume valuable information on diverse topics related to the Mexican territory. This Special Paper focuses on three subjects: reviews of some of the geological provinces, major faults that constitute tectonic borders, and ore deposits. Papers are of general or regional character but provide a deep treatment of the themes and bring together useful information for researchers, students, technicians, and others interested in México.

I used to use the following JavaScript code in my popup windows:
After assigning the color to the 2 Id's, the popup window is closed. It worked perfect!Code:<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function ChangeColor(color) { opener.document.getElementById("bgcolor").value = color; opener.document.getElementById("xbgcolor").style.background = color; window.close(); } --> </script>
But now I want to use this code in an iFrame instead of a popup window.

Firenze Sage: Midnight terror recon [Boston water supply]
May 18th, 2013
BELCHERTOWN (CBS) – Shortly after midnight Tuesday, seven people were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir.
State Police say the five men and two women are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and "cited their education and career interests" for being in the area. The men told police they were chemical engineers and recent college graduates.
The Quabbin, in Belchertown, is one of the country's largest man-made public water supplies. Boston's drinking water comes from the Quabbin and the Wachusett Reservoirs.
State Police say there were no warrants or advisories on any of the individuals and "there was no evidence that the seven were committing any crime beyond the trespassing."
Firneze Sage: Their career interest is poisoning water supplies, me thinks.

Actual cuts to spending this year will be a bit more than 1% of the federal budget.
Defense spending will still increase by over $100 billion over the coming decade.
Federal spending and the national debt will still grow enormously in the next decade.
Claims that sequestration is a massive cut to government spending rely on a definition of the word "cut" that no rational person would accept.
To avoid this sort of thing in the future, it is time to get serious about entitlement reform.
The sequestration debacle is yet another terrible situation created by this president's remarkable unwillingness and inability to lead. Republicans and Libertarians are left to clean up the Obama led Democrat mess.
While Obama builds another Drone base in Malibu, California and expands his spying and surveillance of all Americans, economic powerhouse Communist China is hacking into every U.S. military web site and crashing many civilian and business web sites. Mr. Obama ignores the massive Chinese military buildup including a deep sea Navy and battle carrier group and declaration that China will battle the U.S. in the upcoming currency war. Obama has abdicated his most sacred and solemn duty, to protect and defend the U.S. against all enemies.
What is Michelle Cook's position on Malloy's proposed cuts to hospitals?
What is Roberta Willis' position on Malloy's proposed cuts to hospitals? Let's hear from them. Will they be good Democrat sheepie or will both grow a backbone and vote "nay" for this?
You say that teachers live like kings and queens. You might want to ask the teachers that were at Sandy Hook that day, if it was really worth being a teacher that day, if it was really worth being a teacher at that time, and if they really have a good life. Continued...
Not only that, how many teachers have to teach your children that probably have an arrogant attitude because of what they learn from you parents? I don't think it is easy to be a teacher. I think they deserve all that they get.
This is in response to yes we have a group home in Sundays newspaper. It is no different if you had 5 boys living home that were rambunctious and troublesome and had parents. You're better off with a group home.
To the person who spray painted a totally obscene message on the beautiful white church in Harwinton. Shame on you. No one else may have seen you but Jesus knows what you did. Jesus is sad and weak — me, I'm just mad. You better try to get right with Jesus.
The town is owed money from the Sewer and Water commission because of the alleged mishandling of funds by fired director henry Centrella. Why is the town not suing Centralla for every bit of missing money, for his "accounting regularities"? Who was supposed to oversee Centrella? Where did the missing money go? The casino? Exactly where did it go, and how can it be recouped before hitting the taxpayers?
I think it is grossly unfair to ask the ratepayers to shoulder the burden for Centrella's "accounting regularities" and I believe others also do. Where on earth does the town think ratepayers are going to find an extra $111.24 for water, an extra $139.56 for sewer? This means homeowners, renters (except of course the totally subsidized) who pay fair market rent will see an increase in their monthly rent as the landlord will not absorb the increase. All in Winsted should be up in arms and protesting this!

Custom embroidered robes are a wonderful way to pamper your customers. Everyone loves to be comfortable, which is why people are happy to receive a cozy pair of socks or a luxurious bathrobe. If you're looking to show some love to clients or employees, ePromos has some comfy logo sleepwear options they'll snuggle into time and time again.
There's a reason they say "comfort is king." People love to be comfortable! From snuggly socks to custom embroidered robes, ePromos offers a variety of relaxing apparel items to help your clients unwind and enjoy a quiet moment. Choose from logo sleepwear, shawl-collar robes, kimono-style robes and even hooded robes to pamper your clients and set your brand apart.
Robes are an excellent investment for any business in the hospitality industry. Spas, hotels, bed and breakfasts and even health clubs can enhance the experience by providing robes for guests to wear. It's a sophisticated touch that will be remembered, and if visitors truly love the robes, offer them for purchase. The positive experience will be remembered—along with your brand.
Although they're a simple luxury, there's nothing quite like slipping your toes into a new pair of socks or slippers. Pick waffle-weave slippers to give tired feet some extra cushion, or opt for tube socks or retro knee-high socks for customized apparel gifts they'll truly appreciate.
Offering a gift designed for relaxation is always valued, especially for hard-working employees you'd like to recognize. It's that 'you deserve a break' mentality wrapped up in a cozy gift. A pair of slippers to put on their feet or a cozy robe to slip into when they get home from a long day will always make your employees smile.
