rock midgets home -> features -> interviews
Jonah Matranga and Shaun Lopez on the hows, whys and whens behind 2008's most exciting reunion...
Far are one of those bands that make Rockmidgets.com what it is today. Without the seminal Sacramento-based outfit's four full-length albums, it's fair to say that this place, and the countless acts we champion on these very pages, would look and sound drastically different. Hailed by the likes of Biffy Clyro, Finch and Funeral For A Friend, Far still cast a huge shadow on the "alternative" rock landscape, with their swansong 1998 release Water & Solutions regarded as a pivotal moment in emo's subsequent rise to prominence. Splitting in 1999 when many believed the band were on the cusp of the big time, after months of rumours the band announced earlier this year that they would be reforming for a handful of US dates and a UK tour. As soon as the news was confirmed, Dan Jones grabbed some time with vocalist Jonah Matranga and guitarist Shaun Lopez to find out all the hows, whys and whens behind 2008's most exciting reunion...
Hi, how's it going? Are you all prepared and ready to hit the UK?
Jonah: "Life's good, thanks. I pretty much begged the guys from the start to play in the UK, so it better be awesome" [laughs].
Shaun: "Hi, it's going great. I feel like we are very ready for the UK. A few logistical things are being worked out, but other than that the band is ready to rock."
Last month you played a couple of shows in California, how did they go?
Shaun: "They went very well. The crowds were amazing. Insane amounts of energy on both nights. Never in any way violent, just intense."
Jonah: "Yeah, perfect balance; lots of energy with minimal dumbass factor. Couple of silly crowd-surfers, but felt sincere. I slapped a guy on the ass when he ran onstage."
Getting straight to the point at hand, why have you decided to reform Far?
Shaun: "We've all talked about it on and off for the past five years, but until now it never felt natural and the only other time we came close to doing it, I think it would have been for the wrong reasons. Now it feels good and in many ways liberating and fun. It's pretty amazing to be gone for ten years and come back to people that still care about the band."
Jonah: "Just felt like the time, we all agreed, let's see if we can still do this and still have fun doing it. It's been amazing."
Was there anything in particular that made you think, ok now this is the time to do it?
Jonah: "I think it's dumb when old dudes play angsty, crazy music. For me, this sort of rock is about unbridled energy that sort of only comes with being young and dumb. Seems we all pretty much thought, 'now or never, while we're in decent shape and can still do this right'. Then, when we hung out and rocked, it just felt natural, not forced."
Shaun: "I would say other than November of 2008, it will be ten years since the band played our last show. Seems pretty cool and fitting. Other than that, nothing. We all have our own lives and there really isn't any reason to do this, other than it feeling "right"."
Jonah: "The ten-year thing is interesting, almost to the day."
You're now hailed as one of the most influential rock bands of the 90's - perhaps receiving more acclaim now then you did back then - did that factor in your decision at all?
Shaun: "For me, no - I do appreciate that people do recognize that, but it's not something we ever strived for. We were just four people making music that felt good to us. We were all influenced by many bands and artists and the music we created was a result from all those influences coming together."
Jonah: "Yup, nice to be recognized, but not necessary, and definitely not a reason to make music."
Looking back are there any regrets splitting when you did?
Shaun: "Not at all. I do regret us all not having a clearer line of communication before the split, but other than that, no regrets."
Jonah: "Well said."
What were the first few rehearsals like back together again? Did they feel weird?
Shaun: "The rehearsals were actually the easy part. I think we are all better and more mature players than we were ten years ago. I think the being around each other and communicating was the tough part, but I feel like we have made that a lot easier in the past couple months. In the first month of doing this, I was beginning to think we were filming Some Kind Of Monster Part.2. I think we all just had to slap each other in the face and just say "it's only rock and roll" and get on with it."
Jonah: "That movie was so awesomely embarrassing and amazing and familiar."
So you're about to tour the UK and we're very grateful for that, but why did you choose to come over here rather than the US or anywhere else?
Jonah: "Seems nice to have a little adventure together. Also, I've been coming solo and stuff for the last ten years, loving it, always thinking it'd be so cool if Far could ever come and play there again."
Shaun: "Not really sure, but we always enjoyed the crowds over there. The energy always seemed more intense, but after the last couple of shows that we played in California, the UK has a lot to live up to."
After some cryptic online activity, you first emerged under the Hot Little Pony guise. Why was that? Legal reasons have been rumoured
Shaun: "Not at all. I think people read into that a bit much. We wanted to do a couple secret/no pressure shows before we headed over to the UK, and Hot Little Pony was born."
Jonah: "Just having a laugh, keeping it loose, not overthinking it. Worked out perfectly, even though the Pony is bigger than Far now" [laughs].
So Hot Little Pony have been getting a fair bit of airplay with the Ginuwine cover 'Pony', why did you chose that song?
Shaun: "We all thought it would be fun to record a version of 'Pony'. You see, we all used to love this song ten years ago and even used to have it on our changeover mix (the music that would play when we were setting up our gear onstage)."
Jonah: "It was always fun to have atypical music on, loosen people up."
Shaun: "None of us ever thought that it would have turned out as cool as it did, and now radio is starting to pick up on it. The cool thing about it is, we never tried to make any of it happen. It just happened on its own. The pony can't be stopped."
Jonah: "Straight up. Good fun."
Have you been working on any new material?
Shaun: "Nothing yet. If we do, like everything else lately, it will have to come natural."
Jonah: "Yeah, I just feel lucky that the old stuff holds up so well, don't want to go ruining it just for the sake of having something 'new'. For me, newer doesn't necessarily mean better."
And can we expect anything new for the UK tour?
Shaun: "Nothing planned yet, but you never know. I feel like a lot of the crowds might be built on people seeing us for the first time, so I guess it will all be new to them."
Jonah: "What you can expect is us giving it all, wanting anyone there to do the same. That's always new. There's nothing like that."
I imagine it's a case of seeing if the shows are fun, but what's the status of Far right now? Is this a one-off thing, or are you thinking about the long-term right now?
Shaun: "We are thinking of the short term with an open mind to keep going as long as it makes sense."
Jonah: "Yeah, no big plans, that seems to get real stressful real fast. I just feel lucky to get to play with these guys again and sort of finish this conversation we started fifteen years ago in Sacto."
Shaun, you have your producing career, Jonah, you have your solo stuff, how do you intend to balance it all?
Shaun: "Very carefully I suppose. We are all very busy in our own lives and lately it has been a bit crazy trying to balance it all, but I tell you, the minute we hit the stage at the last two shows, it all seemed worth it. Very surreal."
Jonah: "It's f**king nuts, really. We've all got careers or wives or kids or all of the above... That's the best way to tell that it's really fun for us, because if it wasn't, all the sh*t we're having to figure out to do it wouldn't be worth it."
Ok, final question then, what have you guys got planned off the back of the UK tour and over the next few months?
Shaun: "Time will tell."
Jonah: "Shaun, you're so mysterious! Love it. To quote Plant: "All will be revealed". F**k, imagine writing something like Kashmir!"

one-way synchronization
Kamil Páral <kamil.paral <at> gmail.com>
Hello, how can I force offlineimap to do only a one-way synchronization? I want to use it for backup purposes, that means download all emails from IMAP server to local folders on the first run and update it (server->local) on the next runs. But I *never* never want offlineimap to change anything on the server, even when there is some involuntary change with my local folders. I was looking for some "read-only" option, but I have found none. I don't want to hope that there is no change with local folders, I want to be sure it can't go wrong (at least from my side). Can you give me an advice? Thanks, Kamil _______________________________________________ OfflineIMAP-project mailing list OfflineIMAP-project <at> lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/offlineimap-project OfflineIMAP homepage: http://software.complete.org/offlineimap

thanks, Jenn! I need a cheerleader!
I just got back from a 2.2 mile walk. YEAH ME!!!
Now - to tackle the paperwork and take it the tax preparer. UGH - I hate tax time.
breakfast/lunch = 1 whole eggs + 2 egg yolks - cooked all crispy in lots of butter! with a dash of garam masala and cayenne!
Question - I'm thinking about how to make chicken enchilada's without the flour tortilla.............. you think I could do it with lots of egg and maybe some almond flour? I'm gonna try this weekend........
Primal since March 5, 2012
SW: 221 | CW: 204 | LPW: 166 | UGW: 140 (80 lbs loss)
Tomi, one thing that works for me is planning "a treat". I also like to tie it to meeting a preset goal. As an example--my goal this month(Feb) was to put the equivalent of 5 miles each day on the treadmill. That meant 140 miles. If I met that goal I told myself I was getting a Padington's lunch sized pizza.
This "game" I play helps keep me honest, on plan, focused and not feeling deprived.
Marcadav!! Nice to hear from you!
Thats a good suggestion - I may give it a try.
Hubby and I talked and decided to sell the 5th wheel and put the money on the mortgage. I also used a mortgage amortization calculator and if we can put ALL of our extra money on the mortgage (meaning my entire paycheck) we can pay off the mortgage by 2020. Thats 8 years early! We'll be 60 years old and mortgage free! So.......... I'm on a mission to make that happen.
Yesterday was a great food day! Numbers were perfect! And I was down a pound this morning. I walked 2.2 miles yesterday, and 3.2 miles today. That included mowing the grass - which combines lots of movement and lifting (empying the bag) I'm back in the game! YEAH! I hate being off plan. and I hate taking too many days off of my walking - I hate taking ANY days off of my walking.
My spring goal is clean the shop that I used to make garden art in. Thanks economy for killing that venture! Its filled with all kinds of stuff that I used in the making of the garden art. I need to clean it up and try to sell the peices and parts. Maybe I'll try to do it again someday.
What a great weekend! fun stuff, relaxing stuff, productive stuff!
I walked 1.7 miles yesterday. Not my best - but it was something.
We forgot to fill the hopper on the pellet stove last night and go up to a 56 degree house! Burr! I caved and turned on the furnace to warm things a bit faster.
I ate almost 100% primal over the weekend........ last night I had a small amount of rice, and 4 oreos. And then promptly had a fibro flare that had me curled into a ball and crying for about 30 minutes. So........ again I need to remind myself that sugar will make me feel like I want to die.
Sorry about the fibro flare. I can only imagine how miserable that must be. Sugar makes me want to die in a different way (depression!).
That's exciting about the mortgage & 5th wheel. Wish I had things to sell, but I'll just have to keep picking away at my loans. 7 more years if I don't ever earn less or accrue any other crazy debt! And I should have some EE bonds that mature around that time, too .
Current interests - Starting Strength (reading it very slowly)
Depression Lies
You are doing so great! You have been busy. I know about those damn fibro flares. Mine always take days to go away. Just tell yourself over and over sugar=pain. Keep on rockin'! You are really beating this stuff!
You know all those things you wanted to do: You should go do them.
Age 48
height 5'3
SW 215 lbs
CW 180 lbs (whole foods/primal eating)
LW 172 lbs
GW 125ish lbs
I just did my first multi-quote thingy!
Today was a good day. I got up early, but didn't finish the task I got up early to do. I will finish it this evening - I'm home alone cuz hubby is at his men's bible study. So, I have the next 2 1/2 hours alone.
I ate eggs for breakfast, had a small snack of cream cheese clouds after work, and am now eating 2 cans of Progresso Light Beef Pot Roast soup - not primal - but only slightly. It is processed but the list of ingredients isn't really all that aweful. It has NO MSG - but it has yeast extract and hydrolyzed vegetable protein (whatever that is) - but it says it contains less than 2% of it. I just didn't have the energy to make dinner tonight. There is enough left over meatloaf and rice for hubby. I'm gonna need more calories so I will have some pork rinds and sour cream later. I need to take something out for dinner tomorrow.
I'm tired. I'm going to finish up this task and then turn on the TV and do nothing for the rest of the night.

Following on from the teaser video we brought you last month, Chevrolet has released these renderings of the 2013 Corvette C7.
These official images are supposed to remind us of the car's glorious past and link the new model with the glamour of the movies, but because of its red exterior, the gapping front grille and narrow headlights, we're reminded of the Ferrari 599. That's no bad thing, but we doubt the ride and handling will be on par with the Ferrari.
When Mark Reuss, GM's North American President, addressed journalists at the 2012 LA International Auto Show, he said the new 'Vette, which will be launched on January 13th at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "will offer an entirely new driving experience – one that's refined and redefined." It will also be the quickest Corvette yet.
Although there was speculation that a small capacity turbo charged engine would power this generation, the new car will come with a 6.2 litre V-8 that's capable of pulling it to 60mph in 4.0 seconds. Even though there are no changes in the engine's capacity, Chevy promise that the new car will improve on the current model's 26mpg economy rate and reduce emissions by 25 percent.
Let's hope that the new 'Vette is as impressive on the road as it is in our shots.

Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud were the newest Real Housewives of Beverly Hills having joined the cast for last year's Season 4, but it appears as though one season was enough for Bravo as the Wicca and Miss Puerto Rico were shown the door. It is being reported that both Carlton and Joyce were not given offers to return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Season 5.
This comes as no surprise to fans as rumors have been circling that it would be fired from the show since the reunion aired in March.
It remains to be seen what ladies will be returning to RHOBH for Season 5 as rumors are also circling that fan favorite Lisa Vanderpump will not be returning for Season 5 after her major fallout with former on-air BFF, Brandi Glanville, and her feeling as though all of the housewives were attacking her during Season 4. However, it is likely Lisa is stuck on RHOBH as she is also under contract with Bravo for her own spin-off, Vanderpump Rules, about her West Hollywood restaurant, SUR. It's likely that if Lisa wants to keep #PumpRules on the air, she will have to continue to film for RHOBH as well.
Are you happy to see Carlton and Joyce gone? Do you think Lisa will return for Season 5?

You're Italy's most famous motorcycle racer (after Giacomo Agostini) and you wake up around noon and before you drink your first coffee of the day, you turn on your phone only to find out that the entire world is spinning Britain's Daily Telegraph story that you are retiring at end of the season, and maybe even before.
Naturally Valentino Rossi denied the story first via Twitter, but Radio DJ (the guys who towed Rossi's M1 with a 1963 Fiat Cinquecento from New York to Indianapolis in a promo event back in 2009) called him up while he was having lunch (he was eating cuttlefish with peas) and had a brief chat with him (podcast link here) and the Italian was in good spirits laughing away the story saying that it isn't true and that it was invented and that he doesn't who the journalist's sources are.
The Ducati rider also said that every year someone has him retiring and towards summer someone reports that he is going to become a father and someone always says he's going to Ferrari. He was asked about his post race Qatar interview and admitted it was to shake up Ducati and make them move.
Ducati is expected to bring in a new spec engine for the Silverstone GP if Rossi and Hayden are happy with it following their upcoming private test at Mugello later this month and a complete package upgrade for Laguna Seca (July 29th).

BEREA — Browns coordinator Ray Horton spent most of the season praising his defense, talking up his roster and citing favorable statistics to support his claims.
Thursday, he harshly criticized his players for failing to handle the pressure of close games.
Three straight blown leads in the fourth quarter will have that effect on a coach.
"You can not play well for three quarters and then come crunch time tighten up," Horton said. "Because the calls are about the same and the same players theoretically are on the field, their team has run theoretically the same plays. We've looked at our plays and we've talked about being clutch in the end. The word we used this week to talk to our players is accountability."
Tighten up is in the same ballpark as choke.
"As the games go on, there's more pressure to perform well and to not repeat a pattern that has happened in the past," Horton said. "So is there a psychological pressure effect? I think there is."
The Browns led the Jaguars and Patriots in the final minute, only to give up touchdowns and lose. They led the Bears on Sunday until allowing 21 points in the fourth quarter to drop their fifth straight. The defense that once pointed a finger at the offense and special teams for their breakdowns must turn the spotlight on itself.
The Browns have allowed 128 points in the fourth quarter, tied with Dallas for the most in the NFL. Forty-nine have come in the last three games, as the Jaguars, Patriots and Bears scored on eight of nine possessions, including six touchdowns.
The Browns have led or been within three points 11 times heading into the fourth quarter. They've won four games.
"I don't want to use any kind of excuse or crutch to say we're young or this and that," said Horton, who had predicted his defense would hit its stride by Thanksgiving. "It's not acceptable at this point in the season. The defense was on the field and we talk about being accountable and we talk about being the backbone of the team. Well, you can't do that. You don't do that."
Horton said safeties Tashaun Gipson (2 interceptions, touchdown) and T.J. Ward (deflection for interception, fumble return for TD) played at a Pro Bowl level against Chicago. But he said others were waiting for someone else to make a play, comparing them to teammates of LeBron James who are content watching him take over games in the final minutes.
"We need somebody to step up and not take that back step and say, 'I'm going to wait for somebody else to do it,'" Horton said. "To me that's been the biggest disappointment, as our big-time players play well but we also need our role players to do their role."
Linebacker and captain D'Qwell Jackson didn't agree that the string of meltdowns has gotten in his teammates' heads.
"That's a coach's perspective," he said. "I'll tell you what, we fight every snap. That's not something that goes through our head. I don't think any of the guys I'm on the field with get overwhelmed with the situation. There have just been a lot of things that we can do better as a unit, just being in the right place where we're supposed to be.
"We're trying to figure it out. That's one thing we've been trying to harp on is finishing drives, finishing practice, finishing whatever we're doing. That's been the topic of discussion the last few weeks."
The Browns have fallen to eighth overall on defense, allowing 328.9 yards a game. They are eighth against the run (103.8) and ninth against the pass (225.1). Much less impressive is the 25.9 points allowed per game, which is tied for 21st.
Multiple players said the late-game problems have been caused by trying to do too much. They want to make the big play to win the game, but instead wind up contributing to the downfall by getting caught out of position or failing to fulfill their responsibility.
"It's very evident," Gipson said. "There's guys — and maybe myself included and I'm not pointing any fingers — out there trying to do too much instead of trying to do their jobs."
The teeth are out of the pass defense. After allowing only two touchdown passes in the first five games, it's given up 24 in the last nine. No. 1 cornerback Joe Haden, who left the game Sunday in the third quarter and hasn't practiced this week due to a hip pointer, allowed one touchdown through 10 games, then one in each of the last four.
The other part of the equation is the pass rush. It's been lacking late in games, as outside linebackers Jabaal Sheard, Paul Kruger and Barkevious Mingo have failed to register the game-changing sack.
"It's a combination of no turnovers, no sack at crunch time," Horton said. "You can go down and have an 80-yard drive and you have to have some kind of negative play to get them off the field, and that hasn't happened."
Horton, who interviewed with Arizona and Cleveland last offseason, is expected to be a popular candidate for head coaching jobs after the season. His goal is to lead a team, but he refrained from discussing the topic Thursday.
"Out of respect for New York, for the Cleveland Browns, I think that's probably a question that should be broached at the end of the year," he said.
Numbers and resumes aside, the fourth-quarter woes have sabotaged the team's record and turned this into another depressing season.
"Anytime you have a meltdown like that and you can potentially change the course of the season — if my memory serves me correctly we could be 7-7 right now with a high possibility of going to the playoffs," Gipson said. "Anytime you think about it, it's very frustrating."

The hosts - likely to include Harry's team-mate Paulinho - kick-off the 2014 tournament against Croatia on Thursday. They also take on Mexico and Benoit Assou-Ekotto's Cameroon in Group One.
Harry, who unfortunately missed out on taking Brazil on at Under-20 level in the Toulon Tournament due to an ankle injury, feels the seniors can lift the famous trophy for a sixth time.
"It will be a great tournament, I'm looking forward to it," said Harry, who made his first team breakthrough last season with 19 appearances and four goals.
"As it's in Brazil, they have to be favourites and they are a great side all-round.
"There are good teams out there though. As an Englishman, I'd love to see England win it, but it's going to be tough.
"Belgium have a very strong team and Spain, who have won the last three big major tournaments, will be there but I'd go for Brazil at the moment. I can't wait to watch it!"

(October 5, 2012)
In the ongoing battle to preserve a competitive marketplace for writers, the Writers Guild West's recently-filed comments to the FCC on video competition spotlight the gravity of the situation and the potential repercussions. The overall message: Consolidation of ownership in television translates into limited choices for writers and consumers. The Internet could alter these dynamics, but only if the FCC acts to protect an open Internet platform. This positive countervailing force means we are now at a pivotal moment for competition in the media marketplace.
"In traditional television there are now only a few companies that control production and distribution," explains WGAW Research and Public Policy Director Ellen Stutzman. As the new network television season gets under way the situation is startlingly apparent. In 1989, when the broadcast networks were required to purchase programming from independent sources, 76% of the Fall primetime schedule was independent. Today, that figure has declined to 8%. The overwhelming majority of programming aired on the broadcast networks comes from CBS, Comcast-NBCU, News Corporation, Time Warner and The Walt Disney Company, all of which own the broadcast networks. On the 2012 Fall schedule, none of NBC's series are independently produced. Moreover, the growth of original programming on basic cable hasn't improved the situation. During the 2011-2012 TV season, 76% of dramatic programming was produced by vertically-integrated media conglomerates.
"It means that if you want to get a show on television you have essentially five companies that can produce it," Stutzman continues.
The good news for writers is that technology has yielded new outlets for content. Companies including Amazon, Netflix and YouTube are now airing original programming. "This is a positive development," says Stutzman. "Any time there are more buyers of work product and more employers it ultimately benefits writers because it increases competition for content."
The WGAW's recent comments, which were filed in September in response to the FCC's call for comments for its annual competition in video programming assessment, are part of the Guild's ongoing policy work to protect the interests of members through legislation and communications policy decided on a federal level.

The east Georgia city of Crawfordville will provide a backdrop for an upcoming Robert Duvall movie, a 1930s drama called "Get Low."
The seat of Taliaferro County was chosen because its appearance has changed little in 70 years, with no fast-food chains marring the landscape.
Bob Kendrick, president of the Crawfordville Historial Society and the town's Hollywood liaison, says he was born there in 1930, "and things are pretty much like they've always been."
Kendrick says the movie is about an eccentric old man who wonders if the town would give him a decent burial, "So he decides to stage a mock funeral."
The film is being produced by The Zanuck Company and is co-written and directed by Oscar-winning cinematographer Aaron Schneider.

Center of Attention
What's the first place you enter in at a resort? Chances are it's the lobby. One of the initial impressions many of our guests experience after walking through the front doors under our porte-cochere is taking in the modern elegance found in our lobby. Our lobby is outfitted with many notable architectural facets including water features, a wide and bright glass ceiling and a captivating display of calla lilies.
If you've been to our resort you know the calla lily display draws the most attention. From guests posing next to the flowers to those trying to smell and touch them (they aren't real, by the way) it's a feature of our lobby that can't be overlooked.
The calla lilies display consists of two large, sectioned trellises that bisect the lobby area creating a focal point for the room. The two stainless steel trellis wall panels consist of 40 sections that each contains calla lilies. Every trellis is five sections high and four sections across for a total of 20 sections per side. Each section has approximately 19 to 21 calla lilies giving our lobby's display over 800 total lilies.
The display features hundreds of calla lilies. One of the secrets to our lilies looking ideal everyday is that they're faux. The faux flowers were custom designed for our resort and hand made from silk. Even though they're made of silk, the next time you're near our lilies take a deep breath and see what you smell. Our calla lilies and lobby area are scented with one of our four signature scents used around property.
The next time your find yourself in our lobby take a second to smell the roses calla lilies. If you have a great photo of our lilies, feel free to share it on our Facebook page or stop and take one during your next visit.

Help PETS, Inc. by shopping at Thrift Avenue. At first glance, Thrift Avenue seems small and unimpressive. Wedged into a busy district at 1078 Sunset Blvd. in West Columbia, Thrift Avenue is hardly noticeable. What a pleasant surprise for budget-conscious shoppers who stop and visit!
The shop is large, filled with racks and racks of clothing, all neatly hung and sorted by size and style. There are racks for women and men, with a tremendous array of dress, career and casual clothing. Displays of costume jewelry, including some nice statement and multi-chain necklaces, racks upon racks of shoes arranged by size, and attractive arrangements of hats and scarves fill the store. There is a glass case filled with designer handbags from Nine West, Coach, Tignanello, Del Mano, and other top-name brands.
Just when you might be a bit overwhelmed by the size, selection and friendliness of staff, you are shown into two huge adjacent warehouse areas filled with more and more treasures.
Perhaps best of all, donations are tax deductible and all proceeds are used to help animals in distress at PETS, Inc. The Carolinas Humane Society helps to find homes for abandoned and abused pets, provides affordable spay and neuter clinics and low-cost rabies and booster shots for cats and dogs. Nearly 40,000 abandoned, abused and homeless animals have been rescued, treated, and placed in loving homes since PETS, Inc. began.
To find out more about Thrift Avenue, PETS, Inc., The Carolinas Humane Society or volunteer opportunities, visit www.petsinc.org or PETS, Inc on Facebook. The pets' stories and photos may break your heart, but shopping at Thrift Avenue will never break your budget.
For anyone who has never visited Thrift Avenue, it's most surely worth visiting and adding to your list of favorite thrift shops. If it were possible to give a thrift shop more than five stars, Thrift Avenue would surely deserve it!
As always, maximize your style and minimize your spending~

Enough with the baubles, bells and sleigh-rides. These places offer a culture shift and a different way to get your merry
Most of Thailand's population is Buddhist, so you can feast your eyes on ornate temples (there are more than 40,000) instead of santas. And if you'd like to experience gorgeous stretches of white, sandy beach during your escape, head for the coastal resort, Pattaya, just 2 hours south of Bangkok. November to February is the "cool," mostly dry, season, with temperatures in the 80s. Get more information on visiting Thailand here.
December 25 is a regular business day in this country, where 99 percent of the population is Muslim. If you're a dedicated shopper, that's just as well, as Marrakesh is renowned for it's markets, or souks, where you can buy jewelry, kaftans, rugs, nuts, dried fruits, spices, teas, olives, leather goods—the selection is mind-boggling. Paul Sullivan, in his book A Hedonist's Guide to Marrakesh, writes: "A honeycomb of intricately connected alleyways, this fundamental section of the old city is a micro-medina in itself, comprising a dizzying number of stalls and shops that range from itsy kiosks no bigger than an elf's wardrobe to scruffy store-fronts that morph into glittering Aladdin's Caves once you're inside." Get more information about visiting Morocco here.
Vajrayana Buddhism is the dominant religion in Bhutan, and many of the attractions here are focused on Bhutan's vibrant religious history. Nestled on the eastern slopes of the Himalayas, the country is one of the most biologically diverse in the world, and a haven for rare and endangered wildlife like red pandas, barking deer, golden langurs, and royal Bengal tigers. The climate varies considerably, depending on where you go, but December is winter in Bhutan, and while you won't encounter any reindeer you can expect snow. Get more information on visiting Bhutan here.
Christians make up less than one percent of the population in this predominantly Muslim country, so it's easy to escape the yuletide festivities here and instead steep youself in Turkey's fascinating history and architecture. The attractions in Istanbul include the spectacular Aya Sofiya—a church-turned-mosque-turned-museum—the Topkapi Palace, with its famous harem, and several Ottoman bathhouses. Protests wracked Turkey earlier this year, but Istanbul appears to have recovered from the disturbances: As of mid-December 2013, the US government did not have a travel warning for this country. Get more information on visiting Turkey here.
This city is an art-lover's paradise, with more than 100 museums and many famous works on view at the Hermitage and the Kustkammer. The residents are mostly Russian Orthodox and they don't celebrate Christmas until January 7, so a visit around December 25 will be free of jingle bells. Russian winters have gotten bad press, but St. Petersburg's temperatures during the week of December 16, 2013 were warmer than New York City's. Get more information on visting St. Petersburg here.
Most Japanese citizens follow Shinto religious practices, and only a tiny minority call themselves Christians. Although Santa has managed to stake a toe-hold here, egged on by commercial interests. there are pockets of resistance—historic palaces, temples, shrines and gardens in Kyoto—where you can imagine yourself in a bauble-free, bygone world. Kyoto is the former imperial capital of Japan and it was spared destruction in World War II. Many of its attractions have been designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. The city is also home to a vibrant artisanal crafting community. Get more information on visiting Kyoto here.
