We want as many students as possible to benefit from studying abroad. That's why CIEE awards more than $3 million every year – more than any other international educational organization – to make study abroad affordable.
Applicants to this program are eligible for the following scholarships and grants:
The Bailey Scholarship is awarded to students who self-identify as a member of a group that has traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students. Award amounts are $1,500 for semester or yearlong programs and $1000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
In an effort to make study abroad opportunities available to the widest possible audience, CIEE-ISP Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. $2,000 for semester or yearlong programs and $1,000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
CIEE created the Global Access Initiative (GAIN) to help students overcome the major barriers to studying abroad, namely costs and curriculum requirements. GAIN aids in the diversification of study abroad by providing overseas opportunities for students who are economically challenged. The award is $1500 towards an airline ticket with any remaining funds distributed to the student in the form of a check.
The McDermott Scholarship is awarded to students with demonstrated financial need, and who are either a Public Health or Nursing major, and/or are participating in a CIEE Community Public Health study abroad program. Awards range from $1000-$2500, depending on duration of study and financial need, and are applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.

Students participating in this study abroad program will be required to take the CIEE course: International Business Culture.
Capital of Andalusia, Seville was one of the last footholds of the Moorish empire that ruled the Iberian Peninsula. It is home to the ingenious Barber of Seville and the tempestuous Carmen. The great Renaissance painters Velázquez and Murillo were born here, and Ferdinand and Isabel ruled Spain from the royal apartments in the Alcazar Palace. Though the city preserves its past, modern Seville is the commercial hub of Andalusia. For a city of fewer than 800,000, Seville offers amazing cultural activities, from flamenco to classical, pop, and jazz concerts.
Rabat, Morocco's capital and second largest city, has a population of 3,000,000. Rabat hosts Morocco's most prestigious universities, as well as many international governmental and non-governmental institutions such as UNESCO and the World Bank. The city offers a combination of modern and traditional, and provides a wide range of opportunities for students to experience its culture through art exhibits, music, and theater. Central Rabat has a modern infrastructure with large office buildings, palm tree-lined boulevards, cafés, restaurants, and shopping centers.
Bicultural and multilingual, Madiha has worked with both American and Moroccan university student and faculty groups. She brings a strong background in student services, teaching, and intercultural project coordination to her position as resident director. Madiha received her master's degree in international education and development from George Washington University and her bachelor's degree in international relations from Boston University.
A long-time symbol of tolerance, Morocco established a precedence of openness and cooperation to the Western world when it became the first country to recognize the United States in 1777. As a strategic gateway between Europe, Africa, and the Arab world, Morocco has a rich identity forged by a complicated history of cross-cultural interactions. The result is a multicultural and multilingual society full of contrasts and harmony. These differences and harmonies are highlighted throughout the program and lie at the heart of the student experience. Through cultural excursions to places such as the Sahara Desert, Atlas Mountains, and Atlantic and Mediterranean coast, students are also exposed to Morocco's geographical diversity, experiencing firsthand how the locals make use of the landscape in their everyday lives
Morocco is continually looking for ways to preserve its traditions while acclimatizing to the rapid growth and progress that the nation is experiencing. Students find themselves at the center of these dynamic forces as Morocco aspires to become a model and leader for the other countries in its region. Our program not only provides a multitude of opportunities for the exploration and the discovery of these issues but it also offers the perfect setting by which students can reflect upon the diversity that they encounter at every turn
-- Madiha DeRosa, Resident Director
Jaime Ramírez is the Center Director for the CIEE Study Center in Seville. A native sevillano, he earned his B.A. from the Universidad de Sevilla in Business Administration and M.B.A. at the Instituto Internacional San Telmo. Jaime participated in CIEE´s Internship USA, working for 4 months at the CIEE headquarters in Portland, Maine. He has also participated in several professional development staff exchanges with Georgetown University and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Jaime has been with CIEE since 2004 and is currently pursuing doctoral studies in Work and Organizational Psychology.
The CIEE Study Center is located in a beautifully renovated Sevillano palace built in 1725. It is centrally located close to the Puerta de la Carne and about 10 minutes by foot from the main Universidad de Sevilla building (the Tabacalera). CIEE student services, computer room, and CIEE administration are housed here. In addition, CIEE professors have offices in the CIEE Study Center, so that students may speak with them privately about issues related to their progress in class.
All CIEE courses are held at the Qalam wa Lawh Arabic Language Center (Qalam Center). The Qalam Center provides programs for the study of Arabic as a Foreign Language to students from around the world. It is conveniently located in Rabat's prestigious neighborhood of Souissi within minutes from downtown. The campus features 12 large, air-conditioned classrooms, an on-site cafeteria serving Moroccan dishes, a library, and a large garden open space for study and relaxation.
Study abroad students live in Spanish/Moroccan homes where all meals are provided in addition to weekly laundry services. All homestays are conveniently located to provide easy access to CIEE Study Center in both Seville and Rabat. However, given the size of these two cities, students may either walk or take public transportation to class and cultural activities. All homestays have internet access.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in (location) even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. Meeting with students online, the resident director shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple—to help you understand more about the program, and identify your objectives so that you arrive well-informed and return home having made significant progress towards your goals.
A three-day intensive orientation, conducted at the beginning of the program, introduces students to the country, culture, and the academic program, as well as provides practical information about living in Spain and, in particular, Seville. Topics include safety; Spanish culture; and cultural adaptation.
Orientation includes both structured cultural activities and independent sightseeing, with ongoing support provided on an individual and group basis throughout the session.
A special orientation will take place prior to departure to Rabat, Morocco and on site as well, to help study abroad students learn about their new host city.
CIEE students can use the computer room at the CIEE Study Centers. Homestays also have Internet access. Students are encouraged to bring wireless-enabled laptops.
The January study abroad term is designed to last for 3.5 weeks. The course meets daily, Monday through Friday, for three hours. The Academic calendar includes dates for academic and cultural excursions which complement class lectures.These hands-on learning experiences contribute greatly to the student's experience abroad. Instruction is interactive and dynamic. Many lectures take place in situ, so that the student can feel a part of the fascinating culture they are studying. Students will spend approximately two weeks in Seville, Spain and one and a half weeks in Rabat, Morocco.
Several components of the CIEE Seminar on Living and Learning in Seville/Rabat intercultural development course will be included throughout the session. These exercises are designed to improve student's intercultural communication and competence while studying abroad by considering how Spaniards/Moroccans are different from and similar to themselves and others. Students will have opportunities, both in and outside the classroom, to develop insights and the skills necessary to interact effectively and appropriately, and to gain a better understanding and appreciation of the cultural richness of other countries.
CIEE classes are taught at the CIEE Study Center, and they are designed to follow U.S. academic culture. There are rarely more than 15 students per classroom. All classes meet Monday through Friday. Academic and cultural activities will be planned every day, morning and afternoon.
The course is for CIEE study abroad students only.
Although language is not one of the subject areas of this program and there is no language requirement, resident staff will encourage students with working knowledge of Spanish, French and Arabic to use their language skills in everyday settings.
In CIEE courses, students are graded on the basis of class participation, exams, papers, oral presentations and studio projects. Grades are given on a 10-point scale and converted to the U.S. grading scale.

Perth is one of the best places to tour in Australia. It is the fourth largest city in Australia, which is referred to as the capital of the state of Western Australia. The city can be traced back to 1829 even though the area itself is mentioned in history going back as far as 1697. During the late 18th and 19th centuries the British government transported large numbers of convicts to the Australian penal colonies. The modern city of Perth and the surrounding areas are alive with a spectacular mix of theater, comedy, music, visual art and dance.

From the oldest time men have associated the mountains with visitations of God.

Captain Kidd is the most ubiquitous gentleman in history. If his earnings in the gentle craft of piracy were frugally husbanded, he has possibly left some pots of money in holes in the ground between Key West and Halifax. The belief that large deposits of gold were made at Gardiner's Island, Dunderberg, Cro' Nest, New York City, Coney Island, Ipswich, the marshes back of Boston, Cape Cod, Nantucket, Isles of Shoals, Money Island, Ocean Beach, the Bahamas, the Florida Keys, and elsewhere has caused reckless expenditure of actual wealth in recovering doubloons and guineas that disappointed backers of these enterprises are beginning to look upon--no, not to look upon, but to think about--as visionary.

Why do some people get upset if their SO masturbates?
I read a question on here a while ago and it was basically a girl feeling very betrayed by her boyfriend because he masturbated. She was tempted to break up with him and angry because he said he would never do it again but he did.Personally I think this is way to controlling and crazy. But that's just me.So my question is. would you feel betrayed if your SO masturbated? Amd why?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
How psychotically insecure.
What Guys Said 5
Because it means that they haven't managed to please them.
I pretty much assume my GFs masturbate even if she doesn't admit it, though most of my GFs have readily admitted it. It's totally normal and doesn't bother me a bit; I even sometimes "help out" by talking her through it over the phone if I can't be there.I'd never choose masturbation over sex with my girl, and she knows that, so she has no reason to be insecure, and I could see a girl having a problem if a guy was doing that. But a girl who thinks her partner should NEVER masturbate no matter what? That girl is simply clueless, naive, and WAY too controlling and prudish.
Those people have issues.
lol that chick is weird. its out of insecurity when they don't want their SO's to masturbate. jealousy. tho she's right to be angry if he said he wouldn't do it anymore and still did, cause he did lie. maybe she was more upset that he lied, and not that he masturbated. but no, I love it when girls masturbate. especially in front of me.
You're not alone, I think that is way controlling too unless she has been giving him some I can understand where she's coming from.Would I feel betrayed if my SO masturbated?No I wouldn't because everyone has sexual urges and sometimes they just need to satisfy themselves. Maybe I wasn't there to give it to her or maybe she didn't want to have sex, she just wanted to do masturbate. Hell, she probably has been doing it before I even met her.
What Girls Said 10
I don't feel betrayed because we are in a long dist relationship. that having been said I try to wait for him and not masturbate all the time. sometimes I have to hit it, but I don't overdo it. I'd rather wait most times, just resist it, and have him take care of my p**** for me.
I don't mind. But I don't necessarily love it. I'd rather just have sex! He feels the same way about me masturbating.
yea I agree with you
I didn't like my ex to masturbate but I have a different reason than the girl you listed. My ex always lasted longer when he didn't masturbate & his loads were bigger.
I don't know why but it seems he lasted longer if he didn't masturbate before hand, he also seemed thicker & harder too & I like come & I like a LOT of it.
It seems that he would last longer if he masturbated, because he would not be trying to hold back the bigger load...Also, it is interesting that you must ENJOY it more when he shoots a bigger load. ? Is that right...good for you
yeah I know some girls get so offended if they find out their boyfriend masturbated. personally, I don't see the big deal, and I'm kind of a prude. as long as he does it in his house, and not in public, I don't care. its not like if he's cheating or anything. I thought it was normal for guys to do that? they must be living under a rock or something.
that is waay to controling!. really! wow.idc that my boyfriend masturbates and he dnt care that I do. I do care if he does it in front of because ill say I'm right here and you gona jack off! lol I think he does it caus when I turn down sex and he's hard hell jack off in front of me then ill take over. lollol I think she jus have issues personally.
I think it's a naivety and insecurity issue. I think the younger and less experience you are the more a gal would be inclined to feel that way. But as time goes on you learn that masturbation is something that every guy does because they simply have sex on the brain so much. It's part of having high testosterone levels. It really doesn't have anything to do with him not being into her or her being enough for him.
Personally, I know that it's normal to masturbate while in a relationship and I think it's very healthy for both people to do so. But it's not so hard for me to see why it makes some people insecure. People who don't want their significant other to masturbate probably feel threatened by the idea that their partner can be satisfied without them, or the possibility that masturbation could feel better to them than sex. They might also feel that their partner wants sex less because of their masturbation habit, and that could be a source of conflict. They could also be worried about what their SO was masturbating TO- i.e. p*rn or another person.It's not a healthy outlook, but it's not confusing to me.
That's true, and it's something I mentioned in one of my comments. Of course it's totally reasonable to feel upset if your partner is addicted to masturbation or p*rn. But under normal, healthy circumstances, there is no real reason to let it bother you.
Your usual intelligent, thoughtful answer...but some say that masturbation/porn can be addicting and I think everyone needs to be alert to the idea that p*rn/masturbation can actually replace a real woman...and this is sad...porn has no smell, taste or feel...o.O
That's a logical argument, but everyone is different. Personally, I get slightly different things out of masturbation versus sex, and I can't honestly say that sex always feels better to me (even though it is pretty spectacular). Plus, insecurities can get in the way of logical thinking.I'm not saying that it's justified to be upset when your partner masturbates. Unless they are addicted to masturbation and abandoning you, there is no reason to be. I'm just saying I can see how it happens.

Heck no, we both need/and should want some solo time. If all he does is wank off and never actually have sex with me that'd be a different story...but if we're talking in healthy moderation I say do what you gotta do.
Those people have issues. Most likely insecurity problems - if they have me why would they need to masturbate and very conservative about sexuality. weirdos nonetheless, imo. I wouldn't date someone like that
no...as long as he's thinking of me :Pin all serious no. it's too controlling. plus I do it often. but I hope I wouldn't need to as often if I had a boyfriend,and when I'm dating someone I'm thinking about him anyway

I've read from more reliable sources that Nikon's consumer cameras are simply set to meter a little bit hotter; this isn't a defect. My experience has been that when you're shooting in bright daylight, the camera does sometimes overexpose a little bit, and a touch of negative exposure compensation gives you a more pleasing photo. Shooting under more moderate lighting conditions or indoors, I found the metering to be pretty good. Again, as others have said, the histogram and the highlight tool on the camera's display are great for helping you flesh out the correct exposure setting.ETA: I assume everyone on this board has read this by now, but in case you haven't, here's Thom Hogan's excellent and very technical review of the D40, where among many other things, he talks about the metering: http://bythom.com/d40review.htm

The mask works well and heats up in 10-12 seconds for using as a heat pack depending on the microwave wattage. The plastic tends to feel a bit sticky so a cloth cover or use of a paper towel might be useful for some..
Posted by Kathy on 10th Feb 2014
Nice product. I use it for dry, tired eyes. I wish the heat lasted longer than 15 min. but it's very easy to place item back into microwave, and reheat. I do that about twice, and my eyes feel much better. There are a lot of more pricey items, like this one, but this does the trick for me.

Welcome to
Sun Lakes Animal Clinic Online!
Have you met our staff? Dr. Randy Walker and Dr. Ashley Greenway make up the veterinary side of our clinic family. Dr. Walker graduated from veterinary college at Oklahoma State University in 1985 while Dr. Greenway is a 2009 graduate of the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Both of our veterinarians are active members of the American Animal Hospital Association, the Arizona Veterinary Medical Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Dr. Walker is currently "owned" by a Lynx-point Siamese cat named Lindy who has him wrapped around her little paw. Dr. Greenway is "owned" by two American Pit Bull terriers: a brindle & white sweetie named Raleigh and a black & white lover named Ramsey (Raleigh's best friend); a tortie/calico American short-hair cat named Wrigley who Dr. Greenway adopted as a sick little kitten when she was working as an assistant in a veterinary clinic when she was nineteen and who has since been with her through college, vet school and now moved across the country with her as a veterinarian; a black/white tuxedo American short-hair cat named Remy (Wrigley's best friend); and last but not least, a ball python snake named Dragon (eek!).
Sun Lakes Animal Clinic is proud of our super-star tech-assistant staff comprised of Valerie Bourne, Shannon Houlihan, Dawn Van Belle, Tasha McChesney, Allison Dark RT and Cecelia Baldonado. Each of these intrepid six musketeers is an active member of the American Animal Hospital Association and the Veterinary Health Care Team of Arizona.
At home Valerie is "owned" by a whole zoo full of pets including a German Shepherd cross named Missy, a Shih-Tzu named Dusty, two pugs named Galaxy & Tequila, three domestic short hair cats named Kitty, Sunny and Frankie and Chihuahua named Sugar. That's quite a crew!
Shannon is owned by a whole zoo of pets; so many we're still counting them all.
Dawn likewise is counting all of her crew!

First Solar (Nasdaq:FSLR) is by far the leading producer of cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar panels (and the leading producer of thin-film solarpanels, for that matter). The firm is the largest solar company bymarket capitalization at $10.37 billion.
First Solar plans on a capacity expansion to 2.9 gigawatts by 2012. That's a lot of solar panels, a lot of CdTe photovoltaic materials, and a lot of CdTe constituent materials — cadmium and tellurium.
Tellurium is a byproduct of copper mining and there is an ongoingdebate over whether the global tellurium supply can support the growingneeds of the solar industry. Tellurium is also used to improve themachinability of steel and copper, as a component in CD-RW disks and for other semiconductor applications.
Prices for tellurium surged from under $100 per kilogram in 2007 toover $200 per kilogram in 2008, according to Lita Shon-Roy of marketresearch firm Techcet Group. Tellurium prices rose to $235 to $295 per kilogram early this year according to MetalBulletin. It is estimated that thirty percent of the global tellurium supply goes to First Solar — and that proportion is increasing. Rising telluriumprices might spur companies to consider a more active exploration andmining operation, rather than depending on tellurium as a metallurgicalbyproduct.
So, where is First Solar going to get a predictable source of tellurium?
Answer: From the gold mine in Mexico it appears to own. A 10K SECdocument filed by California Gold Corp (CLGL:OTC BB) says, "MineraTeloro, S.A. de C.V.," which, to our knowledge, is a subsidiary of First Solar.

East County home robbed at gunpoint
Date: December 13, 2012
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
Authorities are looking for a man who forced his way into an East County home at gunpoint and demanded money, before fleeing Wednesday night.
A Manatee County Sheriff's Office report states a black male, described as being in his mid-20s, weighing between 150 and 165 pounds and last seen wearing a green T-shirt and blue jeans, forced his way into a home in the 4300 block of Fairfax Drive around 9:10 p.m. Dec. 12.
The report states the suspect rang the door bell to the residence. The victim answered the door, but did not see anyone. The suspect forced his way into the home at that time, demanding money and other items.
The victim complied with the demands and was forced into her bedroom closet while the suspect fled.

Market risk disclosure: evidence from Malaysian listed firms
AbstractPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the market risk disclosure practices among Malaysian listed firms. Specifically, it aims to examine the level of compliance with FRS132: Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation for financial periods beginning or after 2006. Design/methodology/approach – The approach taken is content analysis and coding procedure. Findings – Although a large number of companies have shown compliance with FRS132 in relation to disclosing the financial risk management policy, there are systematic differences across companies in terms of level of details (i.e. qualitative and quantitative) disclosure. Interest rate disclosure was the most mentioned category and the credit risk was the least mentioned category of market risk. There is telling evidence that most Malaysian firms did not engage in hedging any type of market risk over the reporting period of 2006-2007. Research limitations/implications – There is a need for some standardized risk reporting format to achieve greater financial transparency to make investors aware of the market risks. Originality/value – This is believed to be the first study to provide survey findings on the use of derivatives instruments by listed firms in Malaysia.

Discover a secret access to Fort Pierce's closed Jack Island | Video, Map
Our Indian River Lagoon, an especially popular destination on three-day weekends like the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, offers an endless variety of recreational activities. To help you plan your weekends, Our Indian River Lagoon team shares their favorite things to do. COMMENT on this story and tell us yours.
Jack Island State Preserve, North Beach Fort Pierce:
Until the state fixes the unsafe footbridge (officials are taking bids now), the island remains closed from the land side. I access the island by a tiny, unmarked, hard-to-find cut in the mangroves near the observation tower — and usually have it all to myself. I like walking the 4-mile perimeter loop trail and cross-island trails (lots of birds to see), but my favorite part is hanging out in the 30-foot-tall bird-watching tower. It's breezy with great views of the island and lagoon.
Queens Island Midden, North Beach Fort Pierce: This is one of my favorite kayak launches, the closest from car to water I've seen. Secluded and uncrowded, the entrance is barely even marked. There's just two driveway mirrors flanking the unpaved road and a little "one-way" sign, just south of the blue "St. Lucie County Queens Island" sign. You can spend the whole day here, even a windy day because it's well protected by tall mangroves. Take a left and meander around mangrove islands, exploring endless nooks, crannies and canopied pathways. Take a right and enjoy a long stretch to open water. Too challenging for the kids? Head north to my second-favorite spot at Round Island, where there usually are manatees.
Little Jim fish camp, North Beach Fort Pierce:
This longtime mom-and-pop has everything for everyone: a bait and tackle shop; a fishing pier (kids love to jump off it); kayak and paddleboard rentals and a public launch; a shaded outdoor deck where you can enjoy food, drinks and live music; Caribbean-colored picnic tables in the sun; and fun, kitschy, nostalgic décor (like a sign off my beloved but now-closed Theo Thudpucker's raw bar). See more video from the location.
I just miss the days when "Goat" rented pontoon boats for a mere $50 for a half-day. Now you're referred to Treasure Coast Boat Rentals (877-40-BOATS).
North Bridge/Shorewinds Drive:
If you're taking a Sunday drive, don't miss this stretch between U.S. 1 and A1A. Driving to and from my North Beach home, the sweeping Indian River Lagoon vista is the highlight of my day. I sometimes see dolphins off the Little Jim Bridge, North Causeway Island Park and Taylor Creek. I love seeing the turquoise water and sun beaming off bright white boats. I love the changing colors and moods of the sky, especially when there's a lightning storm or a full moon dancing on the water at night. I even love getting caught by the drawbridge; I get out of the car and appreciate the wind and natural beauty. I don't know about you, but I will rue the day it's replaced with a tall bridge.
Queens Island observation pier, North Beach Fort Pierce:
Whenever I run, walk or ride my bicycle along A1A, I always duck into this quiet spot and I always have it all to myself. The short boardwalk takes you through thick mangroves to a tranquil little cove in the Indian River Lagoon. I just "sit on the dock of the bay," as it were, and watch the birds fish, the fish jump and the water ripple. This is one of the most peaceful times of my day.
Sea wall, Marina Square, Downtown Fort Pierce:
Bring the kids, bring the dogs. I love sitting on the sea wall and gazing out at the Indian River Lagoon while I enjoy my breakfast (or lunch) during the Saturday morning Farmers Market. I'm obviously not the only one, as a spot — and especially a bench — can be hard to come by.
There are usually birds and fish jumping, and I've seen dolphins cruising around the new marina islands, really close to the sea wall. My menu: Either roasted coffee and a homemade breakfast bread or fresh-squeezed lemonade and one of Tony's juicy gyros.
Chuck's Seafood, South Beach Fort Pierce: It's no secret this is one of the best waterfront restaurants, especially for sunsets. The place is always packed and it can be difficult to get a reservation on the back balcony. Go offseason and during Daylight Saving Time so it's less crowded and you're not an Early Bird. The latest sunset this year will be 8:21 p.m. July 2-3. I'd also recommend their signature fried butterfly shrimp.
Jetty Park, South Beach Fort Pierce:
Pack a lunch, pick up a sandwich from a nearby restaurant or plan to barbecue on one of the provided grills, then park yourself for the day at one of the covered picnic tables facing the Indian River Lagoon. This is a great place for watching people and nature — pelicans, dolphins, manatees. I also like to stretch my legs with a little stroll along the Inlet Linear Park.One major caveat: If you don't like crowds, hubbub and searching for a parking place, don't go on a beautiful weekend day. It can be a madhouse.

Meet the Lykoi, otherwise known as the werewolf cat!
A genetic mutation occurring in healthy, domesticated shorthair cats causes a hair pattern that resembles a werewolf. After some genetic testing to make sure that the hair pattern didn't indicate health problems, two cats from unrelated litters were selected to start to make a healthy breed. The cats have also been examined by veterinarians, dermatologists, and cardiologists to ensure the breed is in good health.
In 2012, the Lykoi became a recognized breed of The International Cat Association.

Andover — On March 7, 2013, our walking angel Agnes Victoria (DeNardi) Puzio had to move on to her next calling. She died peacefully, surrounded by her family. Her 98 years were a legacy of love and devotion to her family, her close friends, and sometimes people who just really needed her help. Agnes Victoria showed us all to love the simple things and be content with what we have.
Living through the great depression, all five brothers heading off to war, many serious illnesses including battling breast cancer, and nearly a century of a rapidly changing world – she was grounded in living the golden rule, modern before her time, wise in many ways and never judgmental – 'you're not better than anyone and no one is better than you' is one of our favorites. She loved with a truly open heart and she helped others however she could.
If cooking was her passion then family was her religion. Agnes was happiest cooking for a full table of her family – having us all together - talking, laughing, and sharing stories. Her stories of her childhood in Naples, Italy, living in New York City, and what it was like to be part of an Italian family with 2 sisters and 5 brothers, were often the family favorites. She also enjoyed spending time with her devoted husband Alfred, talking, walking on the beach and dancing whenever they got a chance.
We will hold Agnes Victoria, our mom, nana and great nana, sister, aunt - in our hearts and our heads from now on. She is survived by her three daughters and their husbands: Barbara and Archie Angelone, Ellen and Tony (pre-deceased) Foresta, Terry and Stephen Knott, her incredibly thankful grandchildren: Michael and Sherri Foresta, Danielle and Dave Dellovo, David Angelone and Becky, Lisa and Will Plourde, Stephen Knott and Kellie, 14 great grandchildren, her two brothers Victor DeNardi and Mario DeNardi, and many nieces, nephews.

A Venice man is facing an aggravated battery with a firearm charge following a shoot Monday morning in north Sarasota.
Kevin Michael Kelly, 23, of 214 Malvern Drive, Venice, was involved with a dispute over money with 23-year-old David Morse when the two argued in the 2000 block of 13th Street in Sarasota, according to the Sarasota Police Department.
Kelly was inside a parked car while Morse was standing outside of the passenger door when Kelly shot through the open window, striking Morse, and then drove off after the shooting, according to police.
Morse's injury is not life-threatening and was transported to Sarasota Memorial Hospital to be treated, according to police.
Kelly was arrested at his home where a handgun believed to be used in the crime was recovered, according to police.
Kelly told police that he intended the shot to be a warning shot, according to police.
Anyone with additional information about the shooting is asked to contact Detective Riley at 941-954-7062.

{I wrote this as a guest post over here, but decided to share it on my space as well…}
What does it mean to be a single mom?
Being a single mom means being a one women show every.single.day.
It means setting the dinner table for two…just the two of us.
It means holidays are split. Time is shared.
It means creating new memories and traditions.
It means being open to change, new people, new experiences.
It means doing your best even when you feel like throwing in the towel.
It means cutting yourself some slack and only choosing greatness going forward.
It means disciplining even though it's your weak spot.
It means paying special attention to the needs of your child and not let anything slip through the cracks.
It means forgiveness.
It means having a solid support system… your family becomes your rock.
It means making life decisions on your own that support the best interest of your child.
It means standing on your own two feet and owning it.
I believe parenting was meant for two parents. A team of sorts that equally nurtures the needs of their child to the best of their ability. Single parenting? Definitely not what I had planned for my life.
A common theme here, is painting my role as a single mom in the most positive light possible. It's me showing the world that this stereotype doesn't have to be negative. It's me being able to create a life for myself so I can be a stay at home single mom to my daughter while balancing two home based businesses. It's allowing myself to have a life outside of being a mom and rediscovering what makes me tick. It's pushing myself out of my comfort zone and realizing that Landyn and I have beautiful things that await us. It's embracing being alone and working on myself from the inside out only to have a special someone step into your life when you least expect it.
While I'm certain this season of my life is only temporary, it's been growth and I wouldn't change a minute of it. I would be lying if I told you it's been easy, but it's being able to turn it around for good that has made it work for me. I understand that everyones situation is different and to that I am sensitive. I am simply sharing my views and how things have played out for me.

Activist group challenges T. Rowe Price thrift
Send this story to a friend
- Karen A. Glenn
- Staff
T. Rowe Price Associates Inc.'s plan to charter a federal thrift is facing heavy opposition from a New York consumer activist group that is charging that the investment firm is trying to skirt the Community Reinvestment Act.
In a four-page letter addressed to the U.S. Office of Thrift Supervision, the Inner City Public Interest Law Center, which has challenged a number of pending thrift charters this year, asks that T. Rowe Price's application be denied.
The Baltimore-based mutual fund giant applied to form T. Rowe Price Savings Bank in early October, saying it wanted to be able to offer customers deposit products, such as certificates of deposit. It also noted that it did not plan to do any lending.
The law center contends that T. Rowe Price's intention of collecting deposits without making loans is contrary to the purposes of a thrift charter and the Community Reinvestment Act. The act ensures that financial institutions help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, especially low- and moderate-income areas.
"[Price] is saying that because they only plan to collect deposits and not do any lending, that they don't need to meet the credit needs of the community," said Matthew R. Lee, the law center's executive director. "That would be the equivalent of a bank selling mutual funds and not being subject to any regulations."
But David Oestreicher, T. Rowe Price's associate legal counsel, said the firm does not believe the Community Reinvestment Act is applicable in this case.
"We believe we qualify as a special purpose savings association as it is defined in [Office of Thrift Supervision] regulations, and we filed accordingly," Oestreicher said. He added that if T. Rowe Price does plan to do any lending in the future, it will have to file another application.

Watch Merchandise's Short Art Film "Rush of Blood", a Visual Companion to Their New Record Totale Nite
By Jenn Pelly on May 10, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
Merchandise have shared a 15-minute art film to accompany their new record, Totale Nite, released last month via Night People. Titled "Rush of Blood", the film was written and shot by the band at home in Tampa at the same time as they were recording the album. It was conceptualized, directed, and edited by frontman Carson Cox with an original score of experimental/drone works by guitarist Dave Vassalotti. They both appear in the film as well. (Cox gets his head shaved, surreally, by another image of himself.)

We started the year off with one of our favorite posts, 2013′s Most Expensive Homes Sold in LoCo. Over the last few weeks we've reviewed the 2013 real estate market for most of our towns and many neighborhoods. Let's take a look at last year's luxury market and see what that may bring for 2014…
The number of homes selling with a $1,000,000 price tag or higher has been on a steady rise since 2010. Eighty-three luxury homes welcomed new owners in 2013, the most since 186 homes sold during 2007. Ten of those were in River Creek, a gated golf course community in Leesburg. The second most popular million dollar neighborhood was Beacon Hill with five, while Belmont Country Club was next with four.
As of this morning, there are 89 existing homes currently for sale and 12 already under contract. Along with eight different new construction neighborhoods, including Creighton Farms and Evergreen Reserve, we are inclined to believe 2014 will continue the upward trend. If you are searching for a luxury home in LoCo, reach out to us and we'd be happy to help.
Here's a peek at some LoCo real estate eye candy:
