Ice-Age 5: The UnWarming-- The Polar Vortex of 2014 versus "Claim-It Changes."
GAIA Minister Neytiri Naked Truth Report on Ice-Age 5-- the UnWarming and its effect on Climate Change, now known as Claim-It Changes.
Blockbuster Hit Coming for the Summer of 2014 (From the Winter of 2014):
Ice-Age 5-- The UnWarming
First, there was Global Warming; then there was Climate Change; then there was ClaimIt Changes a.k.a., Claim-It Changes; and now there's Ice-Age 5 caused by Global UnWarming.
Now, get ready for the blockbuster hit movie coming for the Summer of 2014 (from the Winter of 2014): "Ice-Age 5-- The Unwarming" :
This brand-new GAIA Minister Neytiri Naked Truth Report is also in a brand-new genré known as the "VideOccumentary." The Executive Producer is GAIA Minister Neytiri; the Director is Al Gore; the Screenwriter is Al Gore.
Just as that "Downton Abbey" actor's Christmas video as "Santa Claus" warned children that Global Warming was bringing an end to the North Pole in order to "Wake Up the Children" in order for them to "Wake Up Their Parents," this VideOccumentary shows how Global Warming made the Winter of 2014 the most severe winter in many decades and how we are on the verge of entering Ice-Age 5 as a reslt of Man-Made Global Warming, and this will wake-up Millenials so they will wake up the Millynials in time to stop Global Warming.
It graphically illustrates how the Polar Vortex of 2014 turned GAIA frigid. Can the Bi-Polar Bear ever hope to reverse the Polar Vortex? Can Al Gore make GAIA hot again? What will happen to
Mankind ... Humankind ... Humynkind
... Humanity ... Humynity ... Womynity?
It features an exciting set of characters against the backdrop of Global Catastrophe played by an all-star cast: GAIA played by Neytiri, Gore played by Al Gore, Bi-Polar Bear played by Al Gore, Hot-Air Vortex played by Al Gore, All Scientists played by Al Gore.
Credits for this VideOccumentary go to people universally recognized as the best in their fields: Viral-Video Promotion by Hillary Clinton; Frost-Bite Treatment by ObamaCare; Gaffer-- Joe Biden; Cosmetics by Nancy Pelosi (with Face-Warming Assistance from Newt Gingrich); Costumes by Michelle Obama; Distribution by Al's Jazeera; Trailers by Wendy Davis; Twerking by Sandra Fluke, Lighting by Solyndra.
Even Claim-It-Changes Deniers will find themselves captivated by the heady visual effects of Double-D in 3-D featuring two of Neytiri's three most important parts illustrating the Science of Curvature on which the Preeminent Global Warming Scientist, James Cameron, relied for conveying to Millenians the Hard Science of Global Warming in his scientific tour-de-force known as "AVATAR."

Jim Wrenn
Political Satire/Commentary at PoliSat.Com (Editor)
Biography - Jim Wrenn
Jim is a proud descendant of 18th Century criminal exiles from England who swam to the Outer Banks when the British ship taking them to a Georgia penal colony sank in a storm near Cape Hatteras. Having the prescience to prevent their descendants from becoming "TarHeels," they immediately migrated to Virginia, where, within just a few generations they worked their way up into poverty. Jim's grandfather was the first in the family tree to see the distant horizons, but his career was cut short by severe injuries he sustained when a cousin cut down the tree.
After a brief stint in the Amry (ours) following graduation from law school, he began his legal career in the state bureaucracy but was never able to break into the federal bureaucracy. Several years later, he entered the private practice of law and co-founded a small law publishing company. Later, finding the publishing of small laws unstimulating and finding his private practice too private to be lucrative, he began writing political satire/commentary. His greatest vice is taking himself too seriously.
He wrote the definitive books on the Clinton
Era Error: the Clinton Liebrary Book (pre-October, 2000), which he later updated as the Clinton Liebrary Book 2001 Edition to include Election 2000, the post-election shennanigans, and related events through August, 2001. The 2001 edition is the only known literary source that conclusively shows why Bill Clinton pardoned Susan McDougal but not Webster Hubbel. It also presciently contains the Billary/Hillary Dueling Memoirs. At every opportunity he shamelessly promotes his books for orders on-line or by fax at www.ClintonLiebraryBook.Com. He's also the Librarian at the Clinton Liebrary (www.ClintonLiebrary.Com), which owns exclusive rights to Bill Clinton's most famous speech as well as Bill Clinton's comments after revelation of the identity of Deep Throat in 2005.
As an amateur scientist as well as a scientific amateur, he de-bunks the man-is-causing-Global "Warming" theory, and predicts that by the middle of the 21st Century (when he will be safely dead) physicists will discover the obvious flaws in Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which will lead to vastly-faster-than-light travel through polarization of gravity. As a constitutional-law scholar, he's trying to teach those who hold a static, zero-sum-game view of economic and social theories to understand that "property" is not a "thing" but rather is a human right.
Although he regularly teaches Continuing Legal Education courses to lawyers, he's too-often available through he Rubber Chicken Speakers Bureau to speak on politics, satire, etc., at luncheons, dinners, root canals, funerals, etc. His speaking fees are so outrageously high they border on criminal price-gouging, but as a free-market advocate, he defends his fees on the higher moral ground of charging whatever the traffic will bear.

The Wrestling Federation of Singapore is honored to invite you to participate in The 4th Team Takedown Tournament (T3) on 15th May 2016.
Wrestling has been popular throughout recorded history. Origins of the sport can be traced back 15,000 years to cave drawings in France. Early Egyptian and Babylonian reliefs depict wrestlers using most of the holds known to the present-day sport. In ancient Greece, wrestling occupied a prominent place in legend and literature; wrestling competition, brutal in many aspects, was the supreme contest of the Olympic Games. The ancient Romans borrowed heavily from Greek wrestling, but eliminated much of its brutality. During the Middle Ages, wrestling remained popular and enjoyed the patronage of many royal houses, including those of France, Japan, and England.
In this day and age, wrestling has taken many different routes and evolved into many popular styles such as Japanese Sumo, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Submission Wrestling, Russian Sambo, Catch-as-catch-can wrestling and of course the modern Olympic styles of Judo and Freestyle and Greco-roman wrestling that are now practised by millions of people all over the world!
Our purpose for organizing T3 is to provide all grapplers from different styles, a common unbiased platform to compete with one another and, in the process make new friends and foster team spirit in a fun and exciting way! This team competition will be limited to 5 members per team in the following weight categories: 57, 65, 74, 86 and above 87kg and will be based on a modified set of rules from Freestyle wrestling, Beach wrestling as well as Judo. For simplicity sake, it will be done in its purest form of Takedowns and Pins only and will take place on an Olympic grade wrestling mat!
Due to certain limitations, we will only be able to accommodate a maximum of 12 teams for this tournament, so hurry up and send in your team application forms before the stipulated deadline! See you on the mats!

the popular team sport of Baseball now comes to your Pc curtasy of Jim Kitchin. When your team's up to bat, you must press the control key when the sound of the ball being thrown is three quarters of the way across to the right speaker. Depending upon how you do you'll either score bases or give the batter an unpleasant injury! various types of throws with different sound effects and speeds makes scoring bases quite a tricky business.
When your up to pitch, use the number keys to choose both the pitcher, and the type of ball he/she will throw. Strategical choice and your team managing skills here is the key.
Sinse the game uses Microsoft Sapi, many things are editable, you can name your own teams, and even eddit the appropriate text files for player names, ---- so if you've always wanted to see Luke Skywalker of the Rebellion up to bat against Darth Vader of the empire, ---- now's your chance!
In typical Baseball style, commercials will play after each inning, ---- and you might even catch a certain wellknown springfield resident glugging down a can of Duff while watching the game.
For anyone (probably living outside the us), not familiar with the sport of Baseball, the game also has a baseball rules file which may be read by Sapi before you begin, and there's even a separate batting practice program so that you can get your hand in before the big game.
Before installing any of Jim Kitchin's games, you need to download and Install the Winkit program found here This will create a folder where the other games are installed and a menue system for accessing the rest of Jim's games. it also installs the game of life, but if you don't want that, just run the Uninlife file found in whatever folder you installed the Kitchinsinc games in (C:\program files\kitchinsinc) by default. Running the other unin files also individually removes each of Jim's games separately.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the belfry or unconnected bell tower of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa which is located behind the Cathedral and the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square. It is one of the greatest attractions of Europe which is completed in three stages across 177 years.
It is begun in 1173; the bell tower of Pisa Cathedral is prominent for the uneven of its sandy foundations that has led to an important bend of 5.5 degrees.
Work was suspended several times as engineers worked to find a solution, but the tower was still leaning when it was completed in 1350. It is one of the most favorite holiday destinations of tourist which comes from all over the world just to see and know about its history.

Coffee Conversations/
Lindsay is back from tour and the three of us are together again, yay!! We're so excited to be able to catch up and get back into it! We've been making a lot of big plans for Treasures & Travels over the summer and now it is the start of putting everything into action. A good feeling to start off the new season of Fall with! Also, we are thinking of changing up a few of our coffee conversations topics, do you have any suggestions for new ones?
Lindsay //
Something New: I am back from tour! It has been so nice to be home the last few days and be catching up with Tegan and Bethany and planning exciting things for the fall! I played my final Vancouver show with Behind Sapphire last night, and it was really a magical night. We played in a beautiful old hall with stained glass windows, and it was there that I played my very first, and last Vancouver show with the boys. I was pretty sad to end our journey, but excited to start new projects with them these next few years. Playing our last show for the tour in Kelowna at the Habitat tonight!
Something Inspiring: The boys in my band. Being on tour with them this past month has been incredible. I am so sentimental toward them these past few weeks. They have taught me so much, and challenged me so much in my faith. They are men of integrity. They live their lives in a way that is honest, pure, and they are always striving to be the best they can be. They are genuine and so loving to everyone they meet. Joseph has taught me to be passionate without fear of being judged. Matthew has taught me to live a life of honesty, to be brave in trying new things, and to be aware of a good omen. Steven has taught me to take a joke as far as I can even if nobody finds it funny, and to be sensitive toward others and never judge. Grant has taught me to be original, and to always be sincere, to try to live life like a cartoon character, and to not take life too seriously and do things that make you happy and that challenge you. Bengie has taught me to love openly, and to remember to be aware of the Lord's hand in all things and rejoice in it. I am so blessed to call them my best friends, and so inspired by the outlook on life they have given me.
Something Disturbing: During our tour, at one of our last shows in Alberta I lost my prison suit! Our album is called "Jailbirds" so we found these real vintage prison suits off ebay from the Wisconsin prison and wear them for every show. My mom and I had to make one up really quickly for my last two shows, and we didnt have a needle and thread so we just hot glued the dress together. For some reason I felt the need to tell the crowd while I was on stage that the reason I wasn't sweating as much as the boys were was because If I did, the hot glue would melt and my dress would fall off.
Something I'm Listening to: Our new EP is out for sale!! You can buy it HERE for itunes :) We are very excited about it.
Tegan //
Something New: I started a new part time job last week working with a florist/wedding planner as an assistant, it's been really fun. I've done 2 weddings with her and I've learned so much about flowers and made bouquets and centrepieces, I can't think of a better part time gig for me right now! I love flowers and events so it's right up my alley, plus I get to take home lots of pretty flowers to fill my house which is a very nice bonus, I love fresh flowers.
Something Inspiring: As I'm writing this I'm sitting on my window seat in my kitchen by the window, I was about to write about how 30 minutes ago while I was sitting here I was watching crazy lightening and hearing the loudest thunder I've heard in a long time...I looked outside to check if it was still pouring rain and there is the most beautiful rainbow right out the window on the right, and to the left the most amazing sunset! As cheesy as it sounds it actually took my breath away, so beautiful, the rain has finally slowed down and the sky looks so peaceful, and I can't help but think of how blessed I am.
Something Disturbing: My mum-in-law gave me a box of dad's cookies last time I was at her place and I just opened them, let's just say there is a reason I don't ever buy boxes of cookies! I try to stay away from buying snacks that are junky, and now I know why, I have a limited supply of self-conrol once they're in my house, I have lots of self control when grocery shopping though, so at least I have that going for me! ha!
Something I'm Listening to: A band called Radical Face that I found while searching for some new music earlier this week on Noisetrade! Whenever I want to try something new but aren't ready to commit to itunes with a new artist I've never heard of I alway check out that site, I've found a lot of cool artists on there! This album "The Family Tree: The Roots" is great, super chill easy listening music! I've had it on repeat all week.
Bethany //
Something New: It's Fall. I jumped the gun a few times and then I turned back into Summer. But it is here. I woke up this morning and forgot what it feels like to live in a cold house, I currently have on Wool Socks, and a wool scarf in the house, waiting for David to light the fireplace. Thinking it might be time to go for my 4th Pumpkin Spice Latte this week?
Something Inspiring: David is leaving this today for just a short tour, so I have a week to myself. I try to keep really busy while he is gone otherwise it can feel really long. I always get inspired to start working on something new when I have extra alone time, last time he left I renovated the entire kitchen... I think I'm going to start working on finishing up our bedroom and may start a little bit on the nursery... We'll see!
Something Disturbing: I just asked David to help me think of something to write for 'something disturbing' and he seemed to have no shortage of ideas.... None of which I am going to share ;) Lets just say Pregnancy has its pros and cons ;)
Something I'm Listening to: This morning David and I laid in bed and sang along to almost the entire Manchester Orchestra - Simple Math record. I know I've mentioned that album before, but I just loovvveeeee it! It was actually kind of strange because we would listen to that album really loud before we lived in this house and we were just in here everyday painting it and ripping out carpet. We felt like we could smell the fresh paint all over again.

"You can stay with us and read a picture book, or you can sit in the hallway and be bored."
That was the choice I gave my 2.5year old daughter when she was being a twit, while I was trying to put my son to bed for his nap. At the moment, they are tag-teaming sleeping. Which is kind of nice. From 10am until 3pm, with a half hour break for lunch, it's as if I'm mum to only one child. The downside is that I've lost my nap time! This whole schedule rides on my daughter and son being respectful to each other, when it's the other child's turn for a nap. My daughter usually colours in while I'm putting her brother to bed for his naps, and my son happily plays with his toys while I put my daughter down for her nap. However, there are always days when nap time doesn't work according to plan. Yesterday was one of those days.
If you know my daughter, you know she is strong willed and determined (I'm putting it nicely). So of course, when given the option of reading a book or sitting in the hallway, she chose to sit in the hallway. She will cut off her nose to spite her face. While I sat in with my son, I could hear her talking to herself in the hallway. My Little Miss started by reciting her favourite parts of Frozen. She explained (to nobody) how much Anna loves Elsa, just like she loves her brother (Awww… Having to try really hard to be mad at her now). Then she moved on to talking about how her and her brother have been sick. She talked about how much she loves Dr H and how he checked her. Then she went quiet. I could almost hear her little brain ticking over, working out what to do next.
A little voice called out tentatively. As her brother was asleep, I opened the door for a peak. I couldn't hold out anymore after all that cute chatter, I had to see what she was up to. Her big eyes looked up at me and she said, "Mummy, can't you hear me crying?" I replied, "Yes I can, but I gave you a choice and you chose to sit in the hallway." (Tough love people, I have another equally stubborn child on the rise. I need to hold firm or they will rule the house.) Then she replied, "But mummy, I'm just a little girl and I'm crying. Can't you hear me?"
Oh, my… She is good! It took all my powers to hold firm. I reiterated the choice I'd given her before – read a book in the bedroom or sit in the hallway. Thankfully she chose to come in and quietly 'read' a book (she's 2.5yrs, she can't read). I don't know how much longer I could've kept up the tough act for!

Reports indicate Wall is out
Reports everywhere are saying businessman Terrence Wall is dropping out of the race for Senate, leaving Dave Westlake and Ron Johnson as the remaining candidates. After Johnson's endorsement by the Republican Party of Wisconsin's convention, there really weren't many options left to Wall for assembling a winning coalition. It will be interesting to see if Wall endorses Johnson, or merely "suspends" his campaign.

Lambeth Council gives Shell Centre plans the green light
Wednesday 22 May – Media Release
Lambeth Council gives Shell Centre plans the green light
The London Borough of Lambeth has approved the planning application by Braeburn Estates to redevelop the Shell Centre on London's South Bank.
Braeburn Estates is a joint venture of Canary Wharf Group and Qatari Diar. The 1.45 million sq ft mixed use scheme, which has been masterplanned by Squire and Partners, will transform the 1960s office site, providing new offices for Shell and other corporate organisations as well as hundreds of new homes and new retail outlets. It will make a significant contribution to the on-going regeneration of the Waterloo and South Bank area.
A mix of offices, homes and retail space will integrate with open and attractive public areas, with the iconic Shell Centre Tower at its heart.
The 27-storey Tower will remain the centrepiece of the new site, and will continue to be owned and occupied by Shell. It will be complemented by eight new buildings, one of which will incorporate a further 245,000 sq ft of new offices and trading floors for Shell.
Approximately 800,000 sq ft of office space (including the Shell Centre Tower), along with around 80,000 sq ft new retail units, restaurants and cafés, will be accompanied by approximately 800,000 sq ft of residential space incorporating up to 877 new homes, including affordable housing.
The highly sustainable development is planned for completion in 2019, with construction starting at the end of this year.
Under the approved plans, new pedestrian routes through the site will improve connections between Waterloo Station and the South Bank. A widened Chicheley Street will open up the approach to the London Eye, while a 'city square' at the heart of the scheme will provide open space and enhanced public realm.
The 50:50 mixed use scheme presents a welcome contrast to the residential-focused developments dominating London. The construction project, which will continue over an anticipated six-year period, will employ an average of 700 workers on-site rising to approximately 1,630 at the peak of construction.
Once construction is complete, the redevelopment will significantly increase the number of jobs on site with more than 6,000 people expected to be employed between the two new commercial buildings and the Shell Centre Tower. The additional commercial space in the redevelopment will extensively expand the Shell London head office, allowing all of their 4,000 London based staff to be located in the same office for the first time.
The two new commercial buildings in the proposed redevelopment will accommodate approximately 4,120 office-based jobs, up to 295 retail jobs, and around 50 jobs in the community and leisure areas, totalling up to 4,465 jobs.
This presents new opportunities for employment both during construction and in long-term jobs around the South Bank.
Sir George Iacobescu, Chairman and Chief Executive, Canary Wharf Group, said: "We are delighted that Lambeth Council has approved these plans for us to work on such an important and historical site.
"We will continue to work with the London Borough of Lambeth and the local community as we move to the next phase of planning and development to ensure that all involved in the area get the best possible opportunities from this new development."
Qatari Diar Group Chief Executive Officer Khaled Al Sayyed, continued: "Our development will be a unique place to live and work in the centre of London, providing locals and visitors alike with much needed public space, entertainment and culture."
Ed Daniels, Country Chair, Shell UK, said: 'This approval is an extremely positive step for a development that will not just regenerate Lambeth and provide vitality to the local community, but also secure the long-term future for Shell and it's London based staff on the South Bank.'
More than 1,000 local people, businesses and visitors have shared their views on the future development, through an extensive, year-long community consultation, which has helped to shape the scheme masterplan.

About the Shell Centre Redevelopment
In July 2011 developers Qatari Diar and Canary Wharf Group signed an agreement with Royal Dutch Shell to redevelop the Shell Centre site on London's South Bank. The developers will take the 5.25 acre site on a 999 year lease, with Shell remaining the freeholder. The development will be mixed use comprising office, retail and residential space, subject to public consultation and planning consent.
The well-known, 27 storey tower in the middle of the Shell Centre is retained and occupied by Shell. Shell will also take a 245,000 sq. ft. pre-let of one of the new office buildings to be constructed on the site. Shell is committed to returning its entire London workforce back to the redeveloped site on completion.

Taken from Lost Soul:
ANZ National Bank, the country's biggest bank, reported a profit of NZ$1.16b after tax for the year to 30 September 2008 (http://www.stuff.co.nz/4737543a13.html), down only slightly from the year before.
Westpac NZ reported a profit of NZ$462m, up from NZ$348m, for the 9 months to September 2008 (http://westpac.co.nz/olcontent/olcontent.nsf/AttachmentsByTitle/KIS_PDF_NZ/$FILE/KIS+NZ+Jun+2008.pdf).
BNZ reported a profit of NZ$657m for the same period, up 9% from the year before (http://www.stuff.co.nz/4734788a13.html).ASB reported a profit of NZ$515m, down slightly from the previous year, for the year to 30th June (http://www.asb.co.nz/story8753.aspx?cat=3).
That's 90% of the NZ banking sector covered by those figures.Sound like business as usual? Pretty much. But, if you believe the hype, there is such a financial crisis going on that these big banks can't get by without a Crown guarantee of their deposits and other liabilities.
The Australian parents of the NZ four, the so called four pillars of the Australian banking also remain profitable, the odd hiccup not wiping out profits let alone capital.
While the banks and their creditors have been told they are expected to weather adversity without government assistance, now they are being given assistance when they don't even need it!
During times of financial and banking stress, weaker and worse managed banks fail or are taken over by stronger ones, and funds move to higher quality banks. This is exactly what has happened during this time of financial stress, in text-book fashion, yet the authorities are crying wolf and using the stress as an excuse to regulate, intervene and interfere.
I have a message for the saviours of the financial system: stop bluffing and posturing, and use this as an example of the kind of stress financial institutions are expected to weather without government assistance

Living in a tropical country, I can proudly say that we celebrate summer all year round. But we do have seasons: dry and wet. During this time of year when the dry season is putting on its display, the heat is so unbearable that I often long for the rain to come and wash the dust away.
But last week came a pleasant surprise: a series of weather irregularities brought abundant rain and the temperature dropped a few degrees. So I decided to head to the hills to soak myself in a hotspring. Here's my lovely spot for this 'summer':

Scabal: Engelse stoffen voor het laten maken van een pak, colbert en broek.
Scabal has provided the finest tailoring fabrics to tailors and garment makers internationally. Scabal's cloth is woven from the finest materials at its heritage mill in England.
Scabal's heritage English mill located in Huddersfield, the home of traditional English cloth making, has existed since the 16th century. A large majority of our collections are still woven here. As with many Yorkshire mills, the area's soft water gives the cloths a recognizable fine finish
Scabal has a long history with superfine wool. At the company's heritage English mill in Yorkshire, its team of designers and master weavers were the first to cross the historic Super 120's barrier.
This historic measure of a the thickness of single fibres within woven wool cloth stood for nearly 100 years, before Scabal evolved the world's understanding of how fine a luxury tailoring cloth could be.
The first Super 120's wool was a watershed for the entire tailoring industry and stands as one of Scabal's crowning achievements, but the company refused to rest there.
Spring Summer Collection 2018
As seasons, spring and summer bring with them all manner of pairings, both traditional and unexpected. Scabal's new-season showings are no different. Whether it's mixing mohair and wool with a Caribbean twist, redefining denim with world-beating cotton blends, or fashioning cashmere into a summer staple, innovation abounds. In more subtle ways, too: enhancing crease-resistance; increasing breathability; intricate stitching... Elsewhere, new life is breathed into old classics with shifting colour palettes, dashing design details and modish modifications to complete a stand-out season of Scabal creations.
Super 150's
For when a gentleman needs to hit the sartorial high notes, the Concerto collection makes for well-composed statement pieces that let their most striking elements sing.
Colourful characters will delight in the harmony of lightweight 240g Super 150's wool with a twill weave which brightens in hues of blue, green, red and purple, and looks just as refined in plains ranging from pastel beige to classic grey.
100% Wool
240 gr. N°501351 – 501379
Denim Deluxe
100% Makó Cotton
Created in France, popularised in America, reinvented in Egypt... These eight prestigious plain shades are crafted from Egyptian-spun Mako cotton: the most luxurious in the world.
The rich satin-like feel is the result of the very finest yarns being spun smoother, finer and stronger than any others. The 3/1 twill and light contrast looks decidedly denim, but the soft touch and distinguished drape elevate the Deluxe collection to luxurious new heights.
Denim Deluxe
100% Makó Cotton
240 gr. N°501381 – 501388
Silver Ghost
100% Super Fine Merino Wool
The Rolls Royce Silver Ghost first roared onto roads in 1906 and was quickly dubbed 'the best car in the world'. It's been turning heads ever since, much like this namesake collection is set to do for years to come.
Modern, refined, practical: this is a choice collection for on-the-go business wear. Its 100 % super-fine merino wool construction ensures quality; the plain weave preserves a suit's shape and sharpness. With 67 designs, it is versatile too – choose from 12 plains (including four blue melange), a host of checks, overchecks, pinheads, microstructures and a suite of sophisticated stripes.
Silver Ghost
100% Wool
240gr. N° 704591 – 704657
Kingston Bay
Super 100's & Mohair
There's an old Jamaican proverb that states 'a bucket with holes in the bottom has no business at a riverside'. To be sure of looking the business at any sun-speckled riverside, however, all compasses point to the Kingston Bay collection.
This luxury lightweight cloth is a deft, airy blend of Super 100's wool and mohair with cool-dry qualities and a rich shine. Light striped, semi-striped or in simple plains, the finish is sober, sophisticated and a summer stand-out, worthy of its Caribbean moniker.
Kingston Bay
90% Wool - 10% Mohair
240 gr. N°704661 – 704685
Golden Ribbon
Super 120's
Scabal has declared a new gold-standard in cut-above suitings: the newly expanded Golden Ribbon collection.
Made from 100 per cent Super 120's wool, this prunelle-weave, 240g-weight fabric is a versatile all-rounder, perfect for a calendar's worth of occasions. The collection has grown to house detailed micro-patterns, stripes, overchecks and herringbones alongside its classic plains.
Golden Ribbon
100% Wool
240 gr. N°753481 – 753563
Super 150's & Silk
Glossy, lustrous, gleaming – however one chooses to characterise the Sleek collection, there is no debating its defining qualities: soft to the touch and seductive to the eye.
Its distinctive sheen comes from Super 150's wool, twisted with an ultrafine silk yarn, finished in 26 shades – including shadow stripes, pick-and-pick overchecks and simple plains. At a construction weight of just 240g, here is an effortlessly wearable wardrobe addition – a poised and polished look.
85% Wool - 15% Silk
240 gr. N°753571 – 753596
Summer Cashmere
100% Pure Worsted Cashmere
Gin and cucumber, lamb and apricot, cashmere and the sunshine months: unlikely pairings, perhaps, but where would we be without innovation?
This seasonal surprise uses the very fine pure worsted cashmere yarn plain woven for a cloud-soft cloth with an eye-catchingly elegant drape. Its light weight (just 200g) and simple colour palette (bright, mid and dark navy blues are among the pitch-perfect plains) combine to create the feel-good hit of the summer.
Summer Cashmere
100% Cashmere
200 gr. N°753601 – 753614
Super 120's Natural Stretch Jacketings
Inhale, exhale and relax in the knowledge that the ideal warm-weather jacketing fabric has arrived; a breath of fresh air for the summer season.
This blazer-perfect bunch of pure Super 120's wool uses high-twist yarns and a plain weave construction for comfort, breathability and a crease-free cut. With an effortless natural stretch, it is available in 18 sophisticated and summery checks and two classic plain options.
100% Wool
250 gr. N°802521 – 802540
Fancy Summer Jacketings
This Sicilian town is used to hosting those who like to make an entrance – DH Lawrence, Oscar Wilde and Elizabeth Taylor were all frequent visitors.
The Taormina collection takes a dose of that golden-age glamour and mixes in some granita-cool coastal chic, pairing wool, silk and linen blends with bold colours, playful designs and comfortable weights, perfect for that statement summer jacket.
65% Wool - 20% Silk - 15% Linen
260 gr. N°802551 – 802554
35% Wool - 35% Silk - 30% Linen
240 gr. N°802555 – 802563
100% Linen
250 gr. N°802564 – 802569
100% Wool
230 gr. N°802570 – 802580
260 gr. N°802581 – 802583
250 gr. N°802584 – 802585
Silk Cocktail
Silk Blendings Jacketings
Raise a glass to the Silk Cocktail collection, where different silk blendings are shaken to create summer jackets guaranteed to cause a stir.
Casual jackets come in four light-coloured plains (light green, blue, violet and pink), elegant eveningwear comes in eight big-pattern designs in black, white, grey and blue and there are a host of bold camel hair blazers, too.

The new Tesla Model S P100D and a Model X crossover unveiled with so many new and brave additions. The Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode is the third fastest accelerating production car ever produced. And the larger 100 kWh battery pack is also available on the Model X, making the world's quickest SUV even faster.
Tesla has been working hard from the past few months in order to make the bigger batteries for cars that could provide greater mileage. It looks like the company has finally achieved a good battery time for its new cars.
They have just released the new Model S and a crossover of Model X. These will carry a new battery which is bigger thus will provide more range for the cars. The average Tesla was giving around 180-200 miles per charge on a big battery up till now.
Tesla claims that its Model S P100D is the fastest production car in the world and that too in terms of acceleration with 2.5s from 0 to 60mph. Tesla is comparing it to LeFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder. Both of these were fastest cars however they were both produced for a limited edition. The only car that can keep up with the Model S P100D would be the Rimac Concept_One. It is time for a race between a Rimac Concept_One and a Tesla Model S P100D.
On the other hand this Tesla Model S will be a factory produced car which will be sold to the general public. The Model S is supposed to have a 100 kilowatt hour battery which will in turn deliver a mileage of 315 miles. It will also have the ludicrous mode.
The other model that is being released in Model X P100D. It also has the ludicrous model that makes the acceleration in electric cars much smoother than average electric car. It has the ability to top 0 to 60mph in mere 2.9 seconds. It will have the ability to give a mileage of 289 miles per charge.
The Model S P100D will be available from $134,500 and the Model X P100D will be available from $135,500. Customers will be able to upgrade the batteries by adding more money to the original price which will give them more range.

Since we began Varsity Trading Cards, our custom trading card designer was focused solely on teams. We've listened to your feedback, and we are proud to announce a new tool — our "Individuals" custom trading card designer. Now, parents can create custom trading cards of their high school student athletes!
While we still offer our original "Team" designer, our "Individuals" custom trading card designer makes it possible to easily create custom trading cards for just one player. We offer the same fun features with our new "Individuals" tool, which includes logos, stats, and more! Furthermore, just like the "Team" designer, you can create individual cards from your desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.
It's easy to use our custom trading card designer. The very first thing you'll need to do is Get Started. From this post, simply choose Get Started from the menu. From there, you will be provided with two options—Team or Individuals. For this tutorial, you will select Individuals.
When you select "Individuals" from the Get Started page, you will be taken to a registration form, just like the one pictured below. All fields on this form are required. PLEASE NOTE: the Player First Name and Player Last Name will be associated with the registered account. That name will appear on the trading cards and shipping labels. If you do not want your cards shipped to the player, you can change your shipping details before you check out.
After you have registered, you will be asked to log in. After doing so, you will immediately be taken to your dashboard. You will notice a prompt directing you to pick a color to be used on your trading card. Following the prompt, you can immediately pick a color, or you can choose to upload a logo. If you choose to upload a logo instead of using our custom color picker, you will be able to pick your card color directly from your logo. PLEASE NOTE: you must have sufficient rights to use any logos on your custom trading cards.
Once your logo has been uploaded, click "Team Dashboard" in the menu bar. From there, you may be prompted to choose a stat type to appear on the back of your card. This will happen for sports like Football, Baseball, and Softball. Those sports have different types of stats that can be used. Other sports will only have one stat type and will be automatically set. Once a stat type has been chosen by you or has been automatically set, your Team Dashboard page will inform you that you can now create your card!
Now that you've set your card's stat type, it's time to fill out those stats. To do this, click "My Stats" in the menu. From there, you will be taken to the Player Stats page. On this page, you can enter personal information (such as height, weight, jersey number, and a short bio), as well as yearly statistics. Some stats calculate and populate for you! TIP: stats are not required—you can complete your custom trading card without them.
Now comes the fun part! After you've decided whether to add stats, click on "Card Designer" in the menu. Our custom trading card designer is easy to use, but it is very important to read and understand the instructions on the Card Designer page. Our designer lets you move, resize, and crop your image. Once you've set your image into the card designer just the way you like it, you'll first need to click the checkbox directly above the card designer. This confirms that you have read and understood the instructions.
Next, two buttons will appear. If you want to save your card design, you must click the Save Front Card Design button first. After your card has been saved, you will be prompted to proceed to the back of the card. To do so, simply click the Review Back Of Card button. Here, you will be able to see how the stats you entered look on the back of your card. If you are not satisfied with the back of the card, you can return to your Player Stats page to make changes, and then return without the need to re-save the front of the card.
Once you're happy with the card back, click the checkbox directly above the card back to confirm you have read and understood the instructions. Doing so will make two new buttons appear. To save, click Save Back Card Design.
Now that both the front and back of your card have been saved, you will be prompted to return to your dashboard. Once there, you will see your team information, your color and logo, as well as preview images of the front and back of your card. Perhaps most importantly, you'll see a prompt informing you that your card is now ready for purchase! When ready, click the Checkout button to proceed.
After clicking the Checkout button, you will be taken to your Order Details. Here, you can change the quantity of packs you'd like to order, enter a coupon code, change shipping details, and pay for your order. IMPORTANT: remember, the player name on the card is associated with your account. This is the name that will be used to ship your cards. You may change the shipping name on this page by clicking the Edit Shipping Address button.
Register > Log In > Logo & Color > Team Dashboard > My Stats > Card Designer > Save Front > Save Back > Checkout. That's all there is to it!
If you, your daughter, son, niece, nephew, or someone else you know is a high school student athlete, this is a great option for you! They make great gifts for student athletes, family, friends, and fans. Our cards also include an autograph section! If you're ready to make custom trading cards with us, register now. Then, to create your card, just set your logo and/or color, upload your photo, fill in your stats, then save and order your card. You can do all of this from your desktop, tablet, or mobile device, too! It's that easy! After you're all done, you'll have 20 copies of your custom trading card per pack in just 2-3 weeks!
To get you started, be sure to use coupon code Individuals10 at checkout to receive a 10% discount. Coupon code good through September 30, 2017.

irdImage via WikipediaI truly believe that most teens know what they're doing when they begin playing online. They don't get into a chat room, end up on a pornographic site, or visit with strangers without knowing they've done it. However, the media explosion of shows like To Catch A Predator and news headlines reading "Man has sex with girl he met on MySpace" has made it seem as though teens use the internet without knowing what they could get into. After 23 pages of "High Tech or High Risk: Moral Panics about Girls Online" (authors Justine Cassell & Meg Cramer from Northwestern University's Center for Technology and Social Behavior), I wanted to go and hug these women. Finally a well-written, easy-too-read article that I agreed with!
First, some general statements from Cassel & Cramer that I think always need repeating:
– "… family members and friends … are still the most frequent perpetrators of child sexual abuse."
– "… offenses against children … numbers have been diminishing … since the advent of the internet."
– "… the majority of these sexual solicitations … were not from adult predators, but instead came from other youth."
– "Often, children who do begin online relationships with an abuser fit a particular profile … 'a greater tendency for conflict or lack of communication with their parents; high levels of delinquency, including committing assault, vandalism or theft; have a troubled personality due to depression, peer victimization, or a distressing life event.'"
Second, some statements regarding the history of "moral panic" with "the compromised virtue of young girls"
– "… the panic over young girls at risk from communication technologies is not new rhetoric in America. There has been a recurring moral panic throughout history, not just over real threats of technological danger, but also over the compromised virtue of young girls, parental loss of control in the face of a seductive machine, and the debate over whether women can ever be high tech without being in jeopardy."
– This is later addressed as the scares the telegraph (yes, the telegraph was apparently scary) created; "Media critics of the time desicribed the telegraph as used by 'talkative women' who had 'frivolous electrical conversations' about inconsequential personal subjects.'" Stories written during telegraph-time were morality tales expressing the opinion that "women's use of men's technology would come to no good end."
– Even the telephone was lambasted for it's use. "Despite companies' efforts to direct how th telephone was used, women nevertheless cultivated their own purposes or 'delinquent activities' as they were thought of – primarily social interaction."
– "… the politics of both the Victorian era and the early twentieth century – of rapid modernization and technical advancements – has many parallels with today's societal response to the advent of the internet."
– With regards to the definition of moral panic "the media relies on bias, exaggeration and distortion to manufacture news." If you read the first four quotes I pulled from the article, you can see how the media exaggerates what studies actually say.
Third, tomorrow: "What girls do online."

Crockpot Beef StrogaNOT
June Cleaver (my crockpot) worked all day on this dish and let me tell ya, it's so good it will make you slap your husband…. The reason I call it Beef StrogaNOT is because there are no mushrooms. I even strained the cream of mushroom soup…. We like the taste but not the chunks of fungi. But if you're a fan of the fungus, by all means, throw some of those boogers in there.
Crock Pot Beef StrogaNOT
1 ½ pounds cubed stew meat
1 can cream of mushroom soup (I strained the mushrooms out of ours)
1 tbsp minced onion
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
4 oz of cream cheese, cubed
1/2 bag of egg noodles
Combine all ingredients except the meat, cream cheese, and egg noodles; stir together.
Once combined, add the meat and stir.
Cook on low for 4-5 hours.
Just before serving, add cream cheese.
Mix until combined and heated through.
Serve over prepared egg noodles.
Hello June Cleaver…
My crockpot has been getting a workout lately. I've decided to name her June Cleaver since she cooks all day long and has dinner ready for me when I get home from work, which makes me feel a little like Ward Cleaver. If only she would do my laundry and vacuum the living room….
June and I made Beef Stew yesterday, recipe and photo forthcoming. It is my tweaked version of a recipe I found in a magazine…. the original called for bay leaves and thyme and my husband didn't really care for it when I made it the first time going strictly by the recipe. So I've been leaving those out the last couple of times I've made it and we both like it much better. This got me to thinking about what kind of foods I like to cook and what I want to share on this blog. My style is simple, homestyle, southern comfort food. My mother never cooked with anything like a bay leaf or thyme… the most exotic spices she probably ever used were paprika and oregano once in awhile. And the food tasted GOOD. The flavors of the meat and vegetables were not disguised or changed by a bunch of spices. A little salt and pepper and the occasional addition of a simple spice or two (more on what I call "simple spices" later), that's really all I need. You would have never found my mom cooking with most of the stuff you see on the Food Network today. And I want to cook like she did… simple and real. So there is my "culinary viewpoint".
And yes, I've watched way too many episodes of "The Next Food Network Star". 🙂
Creamy Italian Chicken Recipe
I got this recipe from a friend at work and it is YUMMY! I've been using my crockpot a lot lately…. It's nice to come home and have dinner already done!
Creamy Italian Chicken
4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese (let sit out to soften)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pkg. italian dressing seasoning (the dried kind in the packet)
Stir the cream cheese, cream of chicken, and seasoning together in the crockpot. Put the frozen chicken in and cover with the mix. Cook on high 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked and fall-apart-tender. After the first two hours when the chicken is softer you can cut it up into strips for easier eating.
Cook the rice in a pot and smother with chicken mixture…. Mmmm mmmm good!!!!!
The Sweater
Eggs 101
I was about to make a strawberry cake (Duncan Hines, don't get excited people) when I realized my eggs went out on February 14th… Since it's my cheat day on my diet, I really wanted to make this cake and I didn't want to trek all the way to the store to get more eggs (even though the store is only about two miles away, that's beside the point). So I googled and found this nifty tip I thought I'd share…. How to tell if an egg is bad: put it in water – if it stays at the bottom of the bowl or cup, it's good. If it stays at the bottom and tilts a little, it's still good but should only be used for baking. And if it floats, throw it out! I've attached a nice shot of my egg behaving itself and lying on the bottom of the measuring cup, like a good little egg. So I threw that sucker and two of it's brothers in my cake mix and now I'm patiently waiting for it to finish baking….. Mmmmmm, eggs.
Drowning in a sea of laundry
Since my hubby rejected my initial great idea of calling Merry Maids, I've decided to make a cleaning and laundry schedule so that one day he won't find me dead beneath a mountain of towels and work pants. First I made a list of all the tasks I would like to have completed in my home each week (in a perfect world). Then I figured out what had to be done everyday, such as dishes, and divided the rest up evenly over the week. Laundry is the biggie… I swear, I don't know how two adults and one toddler can go through so many clothes. You'd think we change clothes every 10 minutes. But anyway, I figured with a written schedule I'm more likely to actually follow through. It's gonna cut into my tv time though. Cleaning sucks….

Hello! I'm Elizabeth O'Brien, and my goal is to get you jazzed about grammar.
Lucy Ferriss is a writer and professor at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
She holds a Ph.D. from Tufts University and has published several novels and won numerous literary awards.
In her course, Constructing Thought: A Short, Fun Course in Sentence Diagramming, she uses sentence diagramming to teach students grammar and sentence structure.
They diagram quotations from the Bible, Jane Austen, contemporary media, and more. Her students come to view diagramming as a fun and useful tool for improving their writing.
1. How did you learn to diagram sentences?
My seventh-grade teacher, Beatrice Striker, insisted that we learn diagramming; I was a member of the "diagramming club," in which we found our own challenging sentences and diagrammed them.
2. Diagramming has some stigma associated with it. Did you receive any negative feedback when people learned that you would be teaching a whole course on sentence diagramming?
People spoke about that stigma, but no one really seemed to feel it. That is, 9 out of 10 adults who'd learned the art when they were young remembered loving it; those who hadn't still thought it was valuable; and younger people felt they'd been cheated out of something. The main reaction was "Whatever happened to that?" "Who killed it?"
3. How have your students responded to your curriculum?
They've found it more fun than they expected, and also much harder than they expected. Some report spending twice as much time on this class than on other classes. On the other hand, one frat member reported that he and his frat buddies had started playing a new drinking game, in which they had to diagram whatever a person said or else take a shot. I've decided to consider this a positive response.
4. Why did you decide to teach a class focused on diagramming?
Two students came up to me after a class in the contemporary short story, in which I'd mentioned that if they could only diagram the first sentence of a story (I've forgotten which one), they would see how the syntax really packed a punch. These students asked if I would teach a class in diagramming. I told them to recruit 3 more students, and I'd do it. The first time I offered the course, 44 signed up.
5. In your course, you diagram rock lyrics, Shakespeare, Biblical quotations, and quotations from popular culture. Did you find any major differences in sentence structure through these historical periods? (For instance, were there more gerunds in current quotes than earlier quotes?)
Earlier quotes certainly use more inverted syntax and more noun clauses as subjects. Contemporary material, especially poems and lyrics, tend to elide phrases.
6. Did you or your students have a favorite sentence or two that you enjoyed diagramming?
My students diagrammed Eminem, Allen Ginsberg, Shel Silverstein, Bob Dylan, Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther King, and juicy quotes from "Legally Blonde." Two of my favorites are from Jane Austen and the Bible:
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a young man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." (Pride & Prejudice)
"Lord, now lettest thou they servant depart in peace, according to thy word; for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." (Luke 2:29)
7. In your course description, you say that the class is for, "language fanatics." Did most of your students already know how to diagram sentences when they came to your class?
A handful had studied diagramming in Catholic middle school and remembered a bit of it, but mostly they were ignorant of both diagramming and grammar.
8. Is there anything I haven't asked you that you think is important or worth talking about?
One of the purposes of the class is to move beyond diagramming to syntax and its importance in good writing. To that end, once they've learned the skill, students take sentences of their own—from academic papers or other essays—that they or the teacher has found to be awkward. They diagnose the problem by attempting to diagram the sentence, and then find a way to restructure the sentence by analyzing the problems in the diagram.
If diagramming bears no relation to good writing or better comprehension of writing, it is no more than a parlor game. The problem with old-fashioned diagramming instruction, I suspect, is that teachers focused on students' understanding the tool, not on understanding the uses to which it could be put.
9. Random Question: Where is your favorite place to write?
Looking out my window, or any window, at trees or mountains or water.
We LOVE your curriculum. I had been searching for something that would help me teach this when we found you at the Homeschool Convention. I tell everyone who will listen about your program and how they will not regret getting it for their children (and themselves).
- Mindy, Homeschooler
If you want to teach or learn
grammar the easy way, follow our step-by-step program that clearly
lays everything out and allows you to move at your own pace. The
Get Smart Grammar Program is presented in a logical sequence, so it's not an
overwhelming mishmash of information. Just watch the videos and complete your assignments. Before you know it, you'll be a grammar and sentence diagramming pro!

Nate, Mandy & Brantley
I'd never heard of Potter's Syndrome. I wish everyone could say that. Nate & Mandy just got the diagnosis. Mandy's family wanted them to enjoy the beauty of their son and to have something lovely to remind them of Brantley. This is the first of hopefully two sittings. Mandy is due in July and our hope is that we can get together two weeks before her due date.
I still don't know much about Potter's Syndrome, but what I do know is love. I cannot imagine the agony accompanying this or any like diagnosis. But the love between the three of them, that's obvious.
Working together made me want to do more. I considered joining a group to offer my services but that felt almost voyeuristic and certainly opportunistic. But if you know of anyone or are yourself dealing with terrible news like this I would like to talk with you. I'm going to create a package to offer families so they can have something lovely to look back on.
Please share and spread the word.

Online design shop Fab is laying off another 100 employees as part of a push to turn a profit before it runs through its existing venture capital funding.
On Thursday, Fab CEO Jason Goldberg published a memo to employees about the layoffs on his blog, Betashop. The job cuts will hit 101 people worldwide, with 84 of those in Fab's New York headquarters. The decision follows the loss of at least 150 jobs in Berlin in July.
Fab is in the middle of a challenging pivot from flash-sales website to online shop – and one that, according to Danielle Sacks' in-depth profile for Fast Company, makes about 30 per cent of its revenue from goods it manufactures itself. To top it off, Fab has just introduced a free returns, free shipping and price-match policy.
To help pay for the shift, the company has decided to cut jobs not relevant to the new business model or part of processes that can be automated.
Fab will be left with about 440 full-time employees. The customer service, merchandise planning and technology teams will remain intact with new hires expected for private label sourcing in New York and at the 50-person Fab DBY custom-furniture group in Berlin.
In a letter to employees in September, Goldberg said Fab had enjoyed a "rocket-like path of growth" over the last two years. "While exhilarating, that type of growth can only last on its own for so long. At some point, the rocket reaches an apex and either begins to fall or with intelligent guidance continues on an upwards trajectory. We're aiming for the stars."
As part of the strategy refresh, the executive team and board have decided to try to reach profitability without raising additional funding. The company last raised a $150m round led by China's Tencent Holdings in June 2013, supplemented by an extra $5m from Japan's ITOCHU Corporation in August.

Are you ready for the new!??? I bet you're in mere excitement to wish 2016 a final fairwell. Many have experienced many ending, health issues, losses and everything that may come with a 9 year (2+0+1+6=9). My arms are happily welcoming and ready for the 2017, a 1 year of new beginnings (2+0+1+7=10; 1+0=1)
The last new moon in 2016 is in the earth cardinal sign which initiate the winter season and it is ruled by Saturn. This is asking us to start thinking about how we will start setting our foundation for your future. What do we want it to look like, be like and feel like. Saturn is the builder of walls and boundaries and it is in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is about exploring our life's purpose by expanding our mind, body and spirit. What will this look like for the upcoming 2017 year? Explore your desires for the upcoming new year, set your intentions and plan your course of action. Make your purpose, passions and ambitions the forefront of your mind. Now organize a system, create our new habits and plan around our goals. Capricorn energy is disciplined, determine and dedicated. This is a excellent grounding energy that will help assist us on what is necessary and important to make shit happen. Not only is the moon in Capricorn but the Sun and Mercury as well. Mercury being in retrograde may make this energy a little daunting just be mindful and set your intention for the action and burst of energy you will get after January 8th when Mercury in Capricorn goes direct.
Uranus the planet of rebellion has been retrograde in Aries since July and it's finally going direct literally 3 hours after the new moon. As Stars Wars said Rebellion is built of hope. We may feel a since of hope and relief maybe even liberated, enlightened and inspired from this sudden change. Maybe this awakening was brought on by the experiences we went through while this planet has been retrograde. This sudden change could be a change in thinking, a situation or a feeling but it maybe just what we need to fuel our ambition for the new year.
Goodnight 2016 may you Rest In Peace and may the force be with you in the new 2017 year.

DOVER, N.H. — A martial arts instructor active in community theater was charged Saturday in the death of a 19-year-old University of New Hampshire student who disappeared days earlier.
Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott is believed to be dead, and law enforcement officials continued to search for her body, Assistant Attorney General James Vara said Saturday. Her car was found in a parking lot on campus in Durham.
Police charged Seth Mazzaglia, 29, of Dover, with second-degree murder, but Vara declined to say how the two knew each other or what led to his arrest.
Authorities were searching for a body on Peirce Island in Portsmouth, on the New Hampshire coast about 12 miles southeast of Dover, since Friday night.
A family friend, Dawn Downey of Westborough, described Marriott as a beautiful young woman who was active in chorus in high school and was prom queen during her junior year. Marriott was helping to put herself through college by working at Target.
"She was just a good girl. That's probably what got her in trouble. She was too trusting and she was beautiful. Those two things will kill you," she said.
Marriott's grandmother, Susan Marriott, was tending the phone at the Chester home where her granddaughter lives on Friday while other family members were out handing out fliers and searching for her.
"She is a good student and she's hard-working," her grandmother said. "She is a person that doesn't have a multitude of friends but she has good friends, a small group of good friends."
She said the FBI and other investigators were at the house for much of the day interviewing family members.
Marriott was a 2011 graduate of Westborough High School in Massachusetts. She lived with an aunt in Chester and commuted to the Durham campus. A message seeking comment was left with her parents, Robert and Melissa Marriott of Westborough, Mass.
Mazzaglia, a University of New Hampshire graduate, was active in the arts, performing in several dozen plays and musicals over the last decade in southern New Hampshire. He was recently cast in a production by Garrison Players Arts Center in Rollinsford, N.H.
On his website, Mazzaglia described himself as having a black belt in karate and being familiar with several forms of martial arts and weapons. He also described other interests, including juggling.
