The Brewers Are The Rare Team To Win The Offseason And The Actual Season
Posted on Friday October 12, 2018
Winning the offseason — signing the marquee free agent and/or making the headline-grabbing trade — does not correlate strongly with actual winning. The San Diego Padres "won" the 2014-15 offseason by adding Craig Kimbrel, James Shields and a host of other players, then went on to lose 88 games the following season. The previous winter,

As SUV bore down, Manchester hero pushed his friend to safetyBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 11. 2014 9:05PM
MANCHESTER — Abraham Santiago, who is still paying off thousands in medical bills after saving a friend from being hit by a speeding car last September, said he didn't hesitate to stop and help when a man with a medical problem crashed his vehicle on Cilley Road in January.
But it is for the September act of bravery that Santiago, 24, is being honored as one of the recipients of the 2014 Union Leader Hero Awards, for risking his life to save a friend early on the morning of Sept. 22, 2013.
Santiago was at a party when a female friend, Geanary Arroyo, 20, began crying and left. He followed her to see if she was OK. As they walked out of an alley, just south of Laurel Street, and started to cross Union Street near Central Street at about 2 a.m., Santiago said he noticed a Ford Expedition about 50 feet away, heading toward them.
Santiago said he waved at the vehicle, to get the driver's attention, but as he and his friend neared the opposite curb — just three or four feet from safety — the driver swerved toward them.
Santiago pushed Arroyo out of the way, but he was hit and sent flying 10 feet into the air before crashing to the ground. He was knocked unconscious briefly. The muscles on the left side of his body were bruised when he came crashing down onto the pavement, breaking his wrist, which he was told would require surgery.
"He saved my life," said Arroyo, who hadn't noticed the vehicle approaching.
Police said there were witnesses who confirmed what happened and described the vehicle as a dark-colored Ford Explorer or Expedition with a New Hampshire license plate starting with the numbers 338.
Santiago said last week that he has no regrets about what happened to him.
"It's something I can take," he said.
As for Arroyo, she is doing fine and is expecting a baby in a few months.
The driver involved in the accident was never found.
"It was probably somebody who was angry," Santiago said. "That's the way I look at it."
He had to wear a cast on his hand for about 2-1/2 months, but said he went back to work at RMG Enterprise in Londonderry three weeks after he was injured. Within a couple of days of the crash, he said, the medical bills were already $5,000; he had no health insurance.
"I'm still trying to work on those," said Santiago.
But he didn't hesitate to help someone else in January.
"I was coming down Cilley (Road) hill," he said, when he saw a vehicle crash into a wall.
"I called 911," said Santiago. "The car was filling up with smoke."
He said the 911 operator asked him to check and see if the man was breathing. He did and reported the man was breathing.
Other people began to approach, so with the phone to his ear, Santiago tried to coordinate the efforts to provide assistance until the EMTs arrived.
He told one person to turn off the engine.
"But it was a standard and started to roll," he said. Someone jumped inside and pulled the emergency brake.
This time, Santiago wasn't injured, but he doesn't know what happened to the man whose car crashed the evening of Jan. 15.
Santiago said he doesn't expect to make a habit of saving people's lives, but he wouldn't hesitate to help again.
The Union Leader Hero Awards honor New Hampshire residents who have risked their lives in the previous year to save or attempt to save the life of another person. The program is sponsored by Citizens Bank and presented by the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Recipients of the 2014 Union Leader Hero Awards will be honored at a ceremony at the State House on Tuesday at 3 p.m. The event is free to the public, but an RSVP is requested.
For more information, contact Community Relations Manager Shannon Sullivan at 206-7833 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

For my money, the funny Leno is the one who's not on TV. Mavis Nicholson Leno is swift with the wisecrack, and she has this big, hearty, irresistible laugh that you suspect makes her her husband's best audience. But there's a fierce focus in her that I first saw about 10 years ago, after she'd begun working with the Feminist Majority on behalf of women in Afghanistan. That was well before most Americans could place Afghanistan on a map, much less knew what vileness the Taliban was up to. Leno may be the most ardent American champion Afghan women have, taking her crusade for literacy and healthcare to the news media and to Capitol Hill. When she spoke to me at the Feminist Majority offices in Beverly Hills, she was preaching to the choir. What she wants is a lot bigger choir.
Why did you choose this cause long before 9/11 and keep at it for so long?
The Taliban was so egregious and so extreme that if women who were free to speak did not speak, we might as well say to the entire world, "No matter what you do to women, no one cares, just go right ahead." I promised the Afghan women that I am not one of those Americans who has no attention span, and as long as this situation persists, I will be in there. Tenacity isn't just the most important thing, it's the only thing.
The war in Afghanistan was supposed to have changed things.
It started off well, no doubt about it. Everybody wanted to help rebuild schools for girls. There were a lot of people willing to put money and energy into health clinics for women, all kinds of things.
So what happened?
Four letters -- Iraq. As soon as all the attention swung to Iraq, all the money swung with it. The Taliban started creeping back.
Have you been to Afghanistan or the Pakistani refugee camps?
Jay would rather cut off his head than see me go to Afghanistan or Pakistan. The times when I had the chance to go, the people we work with told me that it was not safe. This does not mean I'm not going -- I will, but honestly, I feel I'm doing more good here.
What goes on there that gets the attention of people here?
Teachers dragged out of girls' schools and murdered. Girls' schools burned down. Girls who set out for school and never come home again. All these things have happened in the last year or two. When we went after the Taliban, the people of Afghanistan welcomed us; they fought alongside us; they suffered terrible casualties, and they took terrible chances because they wanted their children and especially their daughters to have education, healthcare. We made promises to them, and we need to keep those promises.
A new Afghan law would make Shiite women virtual prisoners in their own homes and sanction marital rape. Why does it seem like women's rights are always negotiable?
We are the first chip that they throw over to the opposition in every country; because it's been that way for so long, everybody's gotten this idea that women don't mind. I would like somebody to tell me how they think a woman who didn't like the culture that oppresses her can do anything about it when she can't vote, she can't go anywhere, she has no say over her own body? There's a difference between silence meaning agreement and being silenced.
What are you working on now?
To raise money for training midwives. It's not hard to train young women to be midwives. It's perfectly acceptable culturally, and it will give the girl more status in the community and perhaps some earning power. We'd like to see funding [for] small, indigenous NGOs because they get the job done for a hundredth the money that the big organizations do. They do it with a lot greater cultural sensitivity, because they're part of the culture.
Why is "feminist" regarded as a dirty word by some people?
The women who freed 50% of the American population -- at last, to hear their names in speeches [at the Democratic convention] was the most emotional thing in the world to me. So if you don't want to call yourself a feminist, then give it all back, OK? If these women so long ago had the guts to stand up and go through what they had to go through, then have the decency to call yourself a feminist.
When did you have your feminist "click," your epiphany?
My parents were not sexist, and my father thought I could do anything in the world and then some. When I was 7, I wanted to be a jockey. My father told me women weren't allowed. I couldn't believe it. I was perfectly willing to fail on my own merits, but to be flunked at birth? What kind of crap was that? That made me insanely angry. I read everything on the original suffragists, and they became my heroines, because the only women who ever did anything in the history textbooks of my childhood were Sacagawea and Betsy Ross and Marie Curie. That's it. And Betsy Ross sewed. When feminism first became a high-impact issue at the end of the '60s, flaming liberals like Mort Sahl turned out to be pigs, just pigs. Many of them have since recanted and apologized, but it shocked me.
You've lived with "wife of" after your name for 28 years. Does it help? Does it hurt?
There's no question but that I was helped immeasurably to give visibility to this issue by being married to Jay. We couldn't get any coverage. Finally, it dawned on me that if we attached it to Jay, which we did by donating $100,000, we could get huge [attention].
Did Jay have a "click" too?
Never, ever marry a man who doesn't love his mother. Jay adored his mother. Jay is just a natural egalitarian.
Did you guys watch Conan O'Brien's debut as "Tonight Show" host?
Oh, yeah. He did fine.

Truck ends up perched above tollbooth in Hampton crash
HAMPTON – A pickup truck ended up lodged between a tractor-trailer truck and a concrete barricade in a crash Wednesday morning at the Interstate 95 toll plaza.
The odd accident happened about 8:45 a.m. on the south side of the highway.
Christopher Desjardins, 43, of Wells, Maine, was driving a 2011 Ford Ranger south on I-95, approaching the toll plaza when he struck the concrete island and protective barrier separating lanes 1 and 2, according to state police.The truck traveled over the top of the barricade and then hit the steel roof supports.
In the meantime, Mark McDonald, 39, of Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., driving a tractor-trailer truck, had just stopped at lane 1 and was about to pay the toll when the Ford Ranger began to lean to the right and became lodged against the left side of the trailer attached to McDonald's International truck.
Hampton Fire/Rescue members had to stabilize the Ford Ranger before they could safely remove Desjardins and then take him to Portsmouth Regional Hospital. He was treated for minor injuries and released. McDonald was not injured.
The attendant in the toll booth that was hit was not injured.
The right two lanes of I-95 south were closed for about two hours as troopers investigated the crash and the vehicles were removed. Police said additional closures may be needed while the damage is assessed and repairs made.
Assisting state police at the scene were members of Hampton Fire/Rescue, the state police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit and the state DOT.
The collision remains under investigation by trooper Michael A. Shupe.

FluentData: A New, Lightweight ORM with a Fluent API
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
FluentData is a new introduction to the micro-ORM family that aims to be more straightforward to use than full ORMs. Introduced this month, it uses a fluent API and supports SQL Server, SQL Azure, Oracle, and MySQL.
According to the creator of FluentData, Lars-Erik Kindblad:
The existing ORMs frameworks on the market such as Entity Framework and NHibernate are overly complex and difficult to learn. The generated SQL from those frameworks are poor due their own abstracted query language and mapping from the database to .NET objects is difficult.
FluentData takes a different approach by being a lightweight framework with a simple fluent API that is easy to learn.
Similar to other micro-ORMS, such as Dapper and Massive, FluentData focuses on performance and ease of use, and allows developers to have greater control of SQL rather than relying on the ORM to generate it automatically. It uses SQL to perform selects, inserts, and updates, and also supports the use of stored procedures and transactions. According to the documentation, it can work with any business objects without changes to the existing structure.
Other features of FluentData include:
- Multiple Result Set: return multiple data sets with a single database hit
- Developers can use either strongly-typed or dynamic objects
- Custom Entity Factory for complex objects that require special actions during their creation
- Ability to add support for other databases
FluentData requires .NET 4.0, and supports SQL Server, SQL Azure, SQL Server Compact, and Oracle and MySQL using .NET drivers. For further information, code samples and a free download, visit FluentData on CodePlex.

FluentData is built on top ADO.NET so it's not reinventing the wheel but rather making it more optimized. It takes the very best from ADO.NET and adds a nice fluent API with some extra features to make it easier and more efficient to use.

Connecting this to your previous question, would using Dapper simplify FluentData in any way? I dont think so, dependencies tend to increase the complexity and add constraints. I might save some lines of code in the beginning, but most Micro ORMS are from a few hundred lines of code to a few thousands, and in FluentData's case most of the code are for making the simple fluent API on top of ADO.NET (which dapper do not have).</product>

Managing the connection state yourself can be a good thing. This allows people to implement their own connection life cycle mechanisms (pre post processing logic, connection reuse etc). Also, something like Dapper.net integrates with standard infrastructure like system.transactions TransactionScope.

I can't speak for EF, but NHibernate came from Hibernate. Hibernate started out simple. But it grew because people would say "it can't do X" and the authors realized that the Relational and Object worlds were different and thus the mapping between the two IS complex.
Having used both EF and NHibernate, they are not that tough to use. Although EF can be a pain sometimes because it didn't learn from EJB1/2. The generated SQL is not bad. The issues come in to play when people don't realize that there is a RDMBS, not an ODBMS.
For the record, you CAN use a fluent type API with NHibernate. Having used SQL and HQL for years now, I cannot see how plain SQL can support complex object queries. And that is what you run into when translating objects to tables.
Also, both EF and NH support LINQ so your queries are not in Strings. Not sure if FD supports that, but the examples saw used Strings.
Re: Build one if you want..
Lars-Erik Kindblad
Mapping - Mapping from a database to an object oriented structure and vice versa is simple. Just use a simple auto mapper that handles the 1:1 cases, and take a manual approach for the rest through a concrete-not-abstracted-away mapping method. This creates a simple but solid solution that is easy to maintain and extend. And time wise I would say it saves time to take the simple approach cause you don't need to deal with and work around all the constraints that the ORM frameworks forces on you.
"but stop the revisionist history. I can't speak for EF, but NHibernate came from Hibernate. Hibernate started out simple. But it grew because people would say it can't do X"
- if you don't abstract away from SQL then the feature set you need is pretty limited.
Me too mini ORM that needs only .NET 2.0

Officers Rescue Baby from Man Trying to Give Her Away to Passing Motorists
May 24th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
It's the kind of call police don't respond to every day: At 4:38 p.m. Sunday, District 3 Milwaukee Police Officers Kyle Baus and Dan Reilly were dispatched to a welfare check after numerous callers reported a man walking in traffic with an infant, trying to give the baby away to random vehicles driving by in the area of 40th and Clarke.
Officers eventually located the subject in the 4400 block of W. Center St., walking in traffic with an 8-month-old infant in his arms. Officers saw vehicles swerving to avoid the subject as he walked down the middle of the street. A witness even stated that the suspect had been running into traffic and extending his arms as if to hold the infant out in front of oncoming traffic.
Officers Baus and Reilly recognized the seriousness of the situation and confronted the suspect who was highly agitated and refused to relinquish the child. After pleading with him to release the child, Officer Baus was able to grab the suspect while Officer Reilly simultaneously took control of the baby. The actions of Officers Baus and Reilly undoubtedly prevented serious harm and injury to the 8-month-old baby girl. Additionally, the child recently underwent a heart transplant and was due for a dose of essential medication which she would not have gotten had the officers not located her when they did.
The suspect was arrested and will be referred to the District Attorney's office for recklessly endangering safety.
Check out the Fox 6 story with an interview with these terrific officers:

A Hollywood question.
The more I watch movies, it makes me question a couple things.
We all know most actors are anti-firearm. My question, who or what agency is supplying production companies with Class 3 full auto (blank firing) weapons, and any way to put pressure on them to reconsider doing so? This also goes for handguns.
I was flipping channels the other day and came across a foreign language film, similar to Hawaii 5-O. Clearly the country of origin has a full gun ban, as the handguns used were crude plastic facsimiles and a cheesy flash of light was superimposed over the muzzle with accompanying jerk by the actor.
It wouldn't bother me in the least to have guns restricted or banned for movie companies in the same vein they are hoping to do with us. Heck, Barrett pulled out of CA completely when their 50 was banned.

I can't really cite a source, but I have read in several places that blank firing guns (ONLY able to fire specially made blank cartridges) are not firearms, and are not regulated by the ATF. Stands to reason at that point that full auto or semi means little.

Guns for movies are supplied by a few rental companies geared specifically to the industry.
I believe there is a big one in NYC near Soho as well as the most famous one out West which is Stembridge.
These companies are licensed and given exemptions by their respective States (and the ATFE as well?) in order to supply guns for the movies. Otherwise, it would be illegal for some of the actors with felony convictions to handle them.
AFAIK most, if not all, are original guns that have been adapted for blank fire. Not as many cheesy ones as in years past. The rental companies employ machinists to 'build' custom models as needed. Of course, they also supply non firing guns as props as well.
Tight security is maintained at these businesses.
Most of the guns would require rebarreling at the least to be operational with live ammo.
Thieves aren't in the habit of burglarizing guns that need extensive machine work to fire.
There is no pressure that can be brought to bear against companies that do not do any business at all with the public.
Any anti-gun legislation ALWAYS makes exceptions for the movies.
The film industry is far too powerful in income generated in this Country to ever hear the word 'NO'.
Best you could do would be to attend a MGM or Universal stockholders meeting with your concerns.
Charleton Heston did just that at a Time/Warner meeting 12 years ago. Gave him some satisfaction, but no change in company policy in the long run.

These days, movies could do it with airsoft for realistic looks and action, with computer graphics for the muzzle blast and other simulated realism, like case ejection.
Might be less expensive and surely safer for expensive folks who hate guns, and probably have little experience with them.

The Jets' salary-cap purge began Tuesday when the team dumped linebackers Bart Scott and Calvin Pace, safety Eric Smith and offensive tackle Jason Smith -- and their hefty contracts.
The Jets also waived tight end / fullback Josh Baker, who spent the 2012 season on injured reserve.
The cuts weren't surprising, considering the Jets desperately needed to create cap room. According to USA Today, the team began the week $26.3 million over the projected $121-million cap. Tuesday's moves allowed them to clear close to $31 million, putting them under the cap by about $5 million.
"Every one of these players was a major contributor to our football team," coach Rex Ryan said in a statement. "They have the work ethic and attitude that you look for in players and they will always be New York Jets. It was an honor to coach each of these men. They are tremendous people, as well as outstanding football players."
The Jets initially announced the cuts of only Pace, Eric Smith, Jason Smith and Baker, leaving many to assume Scott, who was slated to earn $6.9 million in base salary in both 2013 and 2014, would remain on the roster, at least for another day.
But an hour after the initial cuts, the team announced it had released Scott, too.
His agent, Harold Lewis, was supposed to meet with the Jets during the NFL combine this week in Indianapolis, but confirmed in an email that the meeting is "off for now."
The Jets will save $7.2 million by cutting Scott, who would have counted $8.7 million against the cap.
The outside linebacker returned this offseason in better shape and determined to have a breakout 2012. But he suffered a turf toe injury in Week 3 and suffered subsequent ligament damage, which considerably slowed his production and required offseason surgery.
Scott, who began his career with the Ravens, came to Florham Park in 2009 to play for Ryan, his former defensive coordinator in Baltimore. But Scott was well aware his time with the Jets was running out.
"If you ask any of my teammates, 'Do we need Bart?' or 'Is Bart good for us?' I'm sure they'd say yes," he said in a phone interview with Newsday on Feb. 7. "But if you ask everybody in the organization, they may say: 'You know what? It may be time to move on.' "
The Jets could still negotiate with Scott. But the linebacker, who was signed to a six-year, $48-million deal, would have to take a significant pay cut to rejoin the team.
Pace also was an expected salary-cap casualty, given the $11.6 million he was to make next season. Looking to improve their pass rush, the Jets signed the outside linebacker to a six-year, $42-million contract in 2008. By releasing him, they'll save $8.6 million.
It was a foregone conclusion the Jets would part ways with Jason Smith, whom they acquired from the Rams for Wayne Hunter. Smith, who was to get an $11.25-million roster bonus in 2013, would have counted $12 million against the cap.
By releasing Eric Smith, a solid special teams player and backup, the Jets saved the $3 million the safety stood to make this season.

Public safety surpassed economic development on this year's county strategic plan, as Lancaster County Council recently ranked the most important issues facing residents and the county.
With ongoing efforts by county officials to strengthen the local E-911 system and increase the number of law enforcement officers on patrol, council unanimously decided on making public safety its top goal.
"Public safety, that was just No. 1 for everyone," said County Administrator Steve Willis.

Nations like to imagine themselves as unique, but one belief they have in common is that it is noble to die in their name. Death and redemption are the themes of almost every form of patriotism. In the case of Israel, however, the connection between nationalism and death is especially visceral. For the Jewish state is a nation that emerged from the ashes of a project of extermination, and that sees itself as the best defense against the renewal of violent persecution. Zionism, the state's ruling ideology, is a triumphal creed shadowed by death.
The Israeli historian Idith Zertal argues that the nexus of death and nationalism is essential to understanding Israeli society today. In her powerful new book, Death and the Nation (which will be published in an English translation this summer by Cambridge University Press under the title Israel's Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood), she demonstrates how the catastrophes of Jewish history have been transformed into nationalist fables of heroism, victory and redemption. In debunking the official nationalist historiography, Zertal's book follows in the footsteps of works such as Nachman Ben-Yehuda's The Masada Myth and Yael Zerubavel'sRecovered Roots, both of which explored how ancient Jewish history was distorted to serve the needs of the Zionist movement. What sets Zertal's book apart is her focus on death. She believes that an obsession with death and martyrdom has vitally shaped the way Israelis understand themselves and their state. One of her recurring themes is "ancient graves produce fresh graves."
At the center of this culture of death is the remembrance of martyrs–Jews who, in Zionist ideology, had to die so that the state might be born. The central chapter in the construction of Israeli martyrology was, of course, the Holocaust, but it began well before, according to Zertal, who traces it to the cult surrounding Joseph Trumpeldor, the first hero of the Jews who settled in Palestine."Never mind dying," Trumpeldor is reported to have said shortly before his death in 1920. "It is good to die for our country." Born in a small town in the northern Caucasus, Trumpeldor was strongly influenced in his youth by a nearby farming commune established by followers of Leo Tolstoy, a model that soon merged in his mind with the Zionist ideal of settling Palestine. In 1912 he made his way to Palestine, hoping to establish agricultural communes. The kibbutznik, however, ended up achieving distinction not as a farmer but as a soldier. Drafted into the Russian army in 1902, he lost an arm in the Russo-Japanese War. He went on to serve as the deputy commander of a Jewish brigade established by the British in World War I, participating in the Gallipoli campaign of 1915.
When he returned to Palestine four years later, he was called by the Jewish community leadership to northern Galilee to help organize the defense of small frontier-zone outposts against attacks by Arab militias allied with the newly established, British-backed regime of Faysal in Damascus. These outposts had been created by Jewish settlers as a way of establishing the northern border of Palestine, an issue of contention between France and Britain. In 1920, a year after his return to Palestine, Trumpeldor was mortally wounded while defending the outposts at Tel Hai, a commemorative "holy place." Along with five of his comrades, he was buried near Tel Hai. In 1934 a memorial was erected at his gravesite, and it soon became, for Zionist youth movements, a place of pilgrimage nearly as important as Masada, where, according to the Zionist interpretation of Flavius Josephus, Jewish rebels committed mass suicide rather than surrender to the Romans in AD 73.

September 12, 1954 - November 4, 2013
Formerly of Walden, NY
David Stanley Napoli entered into the arms of Jesus on November 4th 2013. David passed away surrounded by his wife and children, at home after a long and difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. Formerly of Walden, NY, David was born September 12, 1954 to Violet Jennings Napoli and the Late Orazio S. Napoli in Newburgh, NY.
Blessed with many talents and wealth of knowledge, a love of life, family, and music; David enjoyed many professions throughout his short walk through life. He honorable served for the United States Army stationed out of Fort Jackson, SC, from 1974 to 1980 and from 1985 to 1986. Upon discharge he took up his profession as class A auto mechanic, opening Dave's Walden Citgo until the gas wars forced him out of business. He went on to work for various garages and other business ventures including Napoli's Variety and Gifts. For eight years he enjoyed his position as machinist for Verla International, New Windsor, NY with a previous short stint at Monroe Wire and Cable, Middletown NY.
When injury forced David out of work as machinist he didn't let it bring him down, he used his true talent, gift and love of music and drumming founding the C.O.C. School of Percussive Arts on Coldenham Rd. and Main St. in Walden, NY. As a Vic Firth endorsed Drummer and instructor, David's Love of life, music, drumming and ability to teach was infectious, touching the lives of hundreds of young and older aspiring musicians. Growing tired and the desire to spend quite, quality time with his wife, family and God's beautiful creation, David turned the business over to the current New York School of Music and moved his Family to Maine. His love of music continued through drumming for bands and assisting with various Maine country Festivals but quality time was spent enjoying hunting, fishing, tending to various farm animals and God's beautiful creation as well as, loving his wife, children and grandchildren. David's love of life, nature, music and family was infectious, attracting many; he will be sorely missed and never forgotten.
David leaves behind, a devoted loving wife of 30 years, Ann M. Napoli at home; mother, Violet Napoli of Newburgh; three sons: David O. Napoli at home, Jonathan R. Napoli and wife, Melissa of Scranton PA, and Andrew T. Napoli and wife, Katharine Rose of So. Portland, ME; one ddaughter, Laura Anderson of South Carolina; a granddaughter whom he lovingly raised as his daughter, Erika L. Napoli, at home; one sister, Linda Schreiner of Newburgh; two brothers, Russell Napoli and wife, Marlene of Newburgh NY, Daniel Napoli and wife, Tina of Bedford Corners, NY; as well as many grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
A Memorial Service and gathering will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, November 14th at Trinity Methodist Church, Fostertown Rd., Newburgh NY. A full Military Honor Ceremony interment will take place in the spring at the family's home in Danforth, Maine.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to hospice of Aroostook County Maine c/o Eastern Maine Home Care. Health Care Charities, P.O. Box 931, Bangor, ME 04402-0931. A donation box will be available during the service for those wishing to assist the family with final expenses.

As the Tour de France drew near, Jonathan Vaughters was still poring over power outputs and training results, trying to determine the nine riders that he would send to represent Cannondale-Garmin at the start line in the Dutch city of Utrecht.
Andrew Talansky was a given, his best shot for an overall podium. But by the time Vaughters had finalized the rest of the U.S.-based team, Talansky was the only American on it.
One of just three in the entire 198-rider field.
The rest of the Cannondale-Garmin team starting Saturday come from Ireland, Canada, Slovakia, New Zealand, Australia, Lithuania and the Netherlands. And that raises a question: In the post-Lance Armstrong...

NEW YORK (AP) — Hurricane evacuation areas would encompass 640,000 more city residents, and the number of zones would double, under plans disclosed Friday.
Details on the new zones won't be released until June, but the changes could mean neighborhoods around the city might newly be told to clear out ahead of future storms, even as the city grapples with findings that nearly two-thirds of people shrugged off orders to leave before Superstorm Sandy.
As officials reckon with a new understanding of flooding risks after Sandy, they aim to expand both the size and the number of zones so they can tailor evacuation orders better to the dynamics of a particular storm, Deputy Mayor Caswell Holloway said.
The idea: "Only dislocate the people who need to be dislocated and ultimately give people more confidence" that evacuation is necessary, he said at a briefing to release the city's self-analysis of its handling of Sandy.
More than 2.3 million people live in the city's three evacuation zones now. The roughly 375,000 residents of the most vulnerable area, called Zone A, were ordered to leave a day before Sandy walloped New York on Oct. 29.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave several televised briefings urging them to go, and the city sent out text-message alerts and dispatched police cars with bullhorns to some neighborhoods.
And yet a city-commissioned survey of 509 Zone A residents found 63 percent stayed home, according to the report released Friday.
Nearly three-quarters of them said they'd gotten the message that they were supposed to leave. But they didn't for a range of reasons, mainly that they thought the storm wasn't strong enough to imperil them or that their homes could withstand it. Some said they wanted to protect their property from damage or looters, or they didn't think the storm would hit.
The choice proved fateful for some New Yorkers. Sandy killed 43 people in the city, almost all of them in Zone A. Thousands of homes were destroyed or damaged, and an estimated 1 million residents lost power citywide.
Getting people to heed evacuation orders has bedeviled officials around the country for years. Often, one-third to half of residents defy mandatory evacuation orders, experts say.
Some governments have tried dire warnings about the dangers of staying behind, moral appeals not to endanger rescuers, and laws that threaten fines or jail time. In New York — where a little more than half the survey respondents said they thought the city could have done more to encourage evacuation — Friday's report calls for seeking to use digital billboards and making sure orders emphasize what's at stake.
"People need to believe, first of all, what you're telling them: that the situation is serious. ... But people need to believe, also, that if they leave, there's somewhere for them to go that's safe and what they leave behind will be safe. And we're going to continue to push those messages," Holloway said.
But some New Yorkers may not be disposed to listen, even after Sandy.
Robert Keith was sitting on the stairs inside his home in Broad Channel, an island near the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, as Sandy's surge pushed in his door. He scooted up the steps as the water set his pool table afloat and climbed to about 5 feet. For days afterward, he slept in his car and showered at a volunteer fire department headquarters.
And yet, should another storm come, he'd stay again.
"I would say, mentally, 'Well, what the heck? I survived Sandy. How bad can this one be?'" he said by phone Friday.
The current evacuation zones are based mainly on storm surge risk projections, neighborhood geography and how accessible an area is by bridges and roads. The new zones come as federal flood map revisions are poised to double the number of homes and businesses in flood zones, and the evacuation maps also will take account of such factors as the direction in which a storm is traveling.
Beyond improving evacuation messages, the report makes dozens of other recommendations, such as buying more police boats, developing a system to track patients after hospital evacuations and lining up more generators and boilers. Other suggestions include getting more fuel trucks, deploying city staffers faster to work with community groups on relief operations and working with companies to extend cellphone towers' backup power.
Many recommendations involve crafting how-to plans for such needs as distributing food and water and checking on homebound people — things the city did after Sandy, amid some criticism about not moving fast enough.
By making ready-to-go plans now, officials won't "have to think in an ad-hoc way and respond to those things," Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs said.

Baltak is a two member (Gorgoroth mainly & Lord of Aeveron), nationalist b.m. band with origins from Skopje (part of the ex Yugoslavia, now officially FYROM). They currently reside in Australia. On the other hand Alexander The Great was
, and was born in Macedonia (which is and will be part of northern Greece), so Skopje (FYROM) was
the land of Alexander The Great no matter what Skopje propaganda or Baltak is telling!!! They released 4 albums and an ep bullshiting the world with fairytales about "Macedonia" being their nation.

I don't think so! All the problems Greece has with Skopje are the outcome of Tito's actions and politics!
Some facts about Macedonia:
The name Macedonia is Greek, and is derived from the Macednoi (makednos, makedanos = tall, long), who lived in the northern Pindos area in about 2.000 B.C. The Macedonians had the same language, the same religion and took part in the Olympic games, as did all greeks. The excavations at Vergina, Dion and Pella reveal a culture which, in terms of both general level and specific characteristics, belongs exclusively to the Greek civilization. There is no other civilization apart from the Hellenic culture of Macedonia; even in the Skopje Museum, the inscriptions of the ancient exhibits are in Greek. The Yugoslav "Republic of Macedonia" was created by Tito in 1943; by taking some Serbian territory he strengthened Croatia, to which he also gave Dalmatia. The dream of the Skopians is access to the Aegean; this is why, even though they are nationalists, they had the support of Stalin, based on an old Slavic dream. The Skopian idiom is not a language, but an artificial construct based on the Bulgarian regional dialect; this is why the Serbs called anyone who spoke it Bugari. Any Slav-speaking people in Macedonia, who felt that they were Bulgarians, left during the repeated exchanges of population between Greece and Bulgaria (1905-1922). Those who remained considered themselves to be Greek. Today there are no pure Slav-speaking people in Macedonia. Those who remained became part of the local (Greek) community, as the Greeks who remained in Bulgaria were absorbed into the Bulgarian community. The map by the celebrated Dutch typographer Frederick De Wit was published in Amsterdam in about 1690; it proved the Greek-ness of Macedonia in an objective and unforeseeable way. The map was drawn immediately after the liberation of Hungary from the Turks (1688), and was a festive edition focused on Hungary, not Greece. At that time the entire Balkan peninsula was under Turkish occupation. This map is of dual significance because it is ethnographic; it side stops the existence of Ottoman authority and sends a message of freedom to the peoples of the Balkans. It indicates all nations in the area occupied by each one and with clearly - defined boundaries between them and it has political significance as well, since it seeks indirectly to answer the questions of the age: what states should be created in the Balkans after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and on what territory. The Greek ness of Macedonia can be proven by the following points: 1. The region named "Macedonia" belongs entirely and exclusively to the Greek cultural realm and to the Greek state (Pars Greciae). The concepts of Macedonia and Greece are virtually identical. 2.North of Macedonia (Greece) there was only Serbia; they were separated by distinct boundaries. 3.Skopje (Scupi) is situated on the borders between Greece and Serbia, which confirms the hypothesis that the name is derived from the Greek word SKOPOI, meaning guards. During the period of Alexander the Great, the Skopje region belonged to the ancient people of Dardana, who were hostile to the Macedonians. If the republic of Skopje had wanted to acquire a deeper historical past, it should have taken the name "Dardania". 4.The map also seems to record some political ideas of such period, such as: a.The creation of two Greek states, one inheritor of Ancient Greece and the other of Byzantium with its capital in Constantinople and bearing the name "Romania". It should be explained here that the historic name of the Byzantine Empire was "Romania"; the name "Byzantium" was given to it later by historians. b. The creation of a semi-autonomous region of "Albania" within the Greek cultural realm. Ultimately, the rise of nationalism in the Balkans impose the principle: One state for each people. In order to find a solution to the problem, we must distinguish between the cultural geographic and political dimension for the concept of "Macedonia". From a cultural point of view, only the Greeks of Macedonia have the historic right to call themselves "Macedonians". Geographically does not exist a concrete Macedonian area. The conclusion is that only on political level is possible to find a solution, as political compromise of good will and peaceful neighborhood between Greece and Skopje.

I used to like Baltak, and I interviewed the guy in my zine. But since he ripped me off on a trade and on ad payment, I don't want to hear from him anymore. I thought he has disappeared but seems not as he still releases stuff.
Even a Sad Ex member side project...
I have pictures of him wearing a greek helmet and flag, in his living room, wearing sweat pants and sneakers. How macedonian.

Baltak is an eccentric guy, just like the Sad Ex guys. He released Dave Slave's doom solo thing. I doubt anyone from Sad Ex beat him up, though I wouldn't be surprised if him and Dave Slave got into it on occasion... but all in the spirit of doing what they do.

It's stupid not funny! It's like Mexico would adopt the name USA! It's just absurd. Also with the slightest knowledge of history (just high-school level) someone can tell that it's
a dispute just about a name, it's a silent war that goes on since centuries. Skopje as an national entity never existed, it was a
of Tito for reasons described above. Balkans were always like a time bomb. Imperialism in some balkan nations is the key matter in this dispute. A century ago this dispute would be solved with a war (actually happent with Balkan wars of 1912 - 1913), but now since a war in not an option they try to do it with politics & stupid propaganda.

Pumpkin Carving Instructions, Tips, and Tricks
Step 1: Pick of the Patch (Pick the perfect pumpkin)
No one wants a rotten pumpkin! To have a pumpkin that lasts until you're ready to carve it, pick one without any nicks or soft spots.
Step 2: Get ready, get set, goo! (Removing the seeds and goo)
Cut a circular lid into the pumpkin by carving a wide circle around the stem. Make sure it's at least big enough to put your fist through. Next, pull out as many seeds and stringy goo that you can by hand, and then use a pumpkin or ice cream scoop to scrape the inside clean.
Step 3: Place Pattern (Applying your pumpkin carving pattern)
Tape or pin your pattern onto your pumpkin (make sure the surface is dry so the tape will stick!). Use a pumpkin poking tool, awl, or nail to poke small, shallow holes through the paper, following the lines of the pattern. When all lines have been traced, remove pattern and save it for reference later.
Step 4: Carving Time (Carve out you pumpkin carving pattern)
Insert your carving saw (never use a knife!) into a poked line. Begin sawing out each section. Remember, saws don't twist and pumpkins don't give! To prevent your saw from breaking, saw curved areas carefully, gently turning the saw the direction you wish to go while you continue to saw.
Step 5: Let it Glow, let it glow, let it glow! (Light your Halloween Masterpiece)
Battery lights are great for pumpkin lighting. However, if you really love candles, use these to light your pumpkins. Light your candle and then, about a minute or two later, blow it out and observe the inside top of your pumpkin. You'll see a dark area singed by the candle's flame. Carve a chimney hole into this area, just over an inch wide, to allow the flame's heat to escape. Now, relight the candle and watch your pumpkin GLOW!
, rather than deep ridges, will make applying a pattern so much easier! More bumps equal more hassle.
Hint 2: Even if it's the "ugly" side, choose the flattest side of your pumpkin to apply the pattern and carve. When the day turns to night, viewers will only see the glow, not the gory, and it will make your pumpkin carving process a snap!
Hint 3: To light candles (and esp. to relight them on blustery Autumn nights!), forget the top lid and carve an opening into the bottom of the pumpkin instead. When it's ready to glow, light your candle, pick up your pumpkin and gently place it over the candle. Viola! No burnt fingers!
Hint 4: Having trouble putting on the pattern? Before you tape it down, make several tears, about three inches apart, all around the outside edge of the pattern. When you tape it down, this will make the pattern form to your pumpkin's rounded shape.
Hint 5: When you apply the pattern, poke the holes about 1/4" apart, and even closer together on more intricate patterns. The holes only need to just pierce the pumpkin skin – about 1/8" deep.
Hint 6: Never use a knife to carve your pumpkin. Even when carving with a saw, keep your non-carving hand away from the blade. Remember, a safe Halloween is a Happy Halloween!
Hint 7: Hold your saw like a pencil and insert it at a 90-degree angle to the pumpkin's surface to carve a simple pattern. To create different effects (like a portrait's shadow), you can angle the blade.
Hint 8: When you begin carving, carve the tiniest sections first. Next, carve the areas in the center of the pattern, and then carve out the other sections working towards the outer edge. Never rest your hand on a carved out area or your design might break!
Hint 9: If you're having trouble viewing your poked out pattern, rub a little flour, cornstarch or baby powder into the dots. The dots will turn bright white and your design will practically pop off the pumpkin!

08.26.13Ashland Inc. recently celebrated the grand opening of its new gelcoats production facility in the Chemical Industry Park of Changzhou Yangtze Riverside Economic Development Zone. This $60 million dollar facility, which is Ashland's most advanced gelcoats plant in the world, serves customers in marine, sanitary ware, transportation, wind energy and industrial markets in China and the broader Asia Pacific region. The plant currently employs 30 people and is located in Changzhou where Ashland also operates an unsaturated polyester resins and epoxy vinyl ester resins production facility that has been manufacturing products in the region for more than 10 years.
The grand opening celebration was attended by nearly 250 people, including customers, suppliers, trade associations, government officials from various levels of Changzhou and members of the media.
Gelcoats are specialty resins that help to improve the appearance of fiberglass products and to protect structural layered materials from corrosion. It is used in a wide variety of consumer and industrial products, including yachts, bathtubs, basins, high-speed trains, buses, wind energy blades, nacelles, cooling towers and storage tanks. Ashland's product brands include award-winning Maxguard™ and Enguard™ gelcoats. The new facility will also produce adhesives, fire retardant resins and low-profile additives for many industrial products. With an initial annual capacity of 10,000 tons of gelcoats and 2,000 tons of adhesives products, the facility is designed for further expansion to meet increasing market demand across Asia.
"China is an attractive market for investment, despite some of the current economic challenges. Ashland has made a series of investments in the country over the past few years to expand our ability to serve local customers." said Ted Harris, senior vice president and president, Ashland Performance Materials; and president, Ashland Global Supply Chain. "This new facility reflects Ashland's commitment to maintaining the highest production standards for gelcoats products. More importantly, we are extremely proud of our two-year zero incident record we maintained throughout the construction of this plant. Thanks to the long-term support provided by the Changzhou government, I'm confident that this new facility will soon become an integral part of Ashland family and the local community."
"Ashland started our gelcoats business in China in 1995, and we have enjoyed significant growth since then," added Baochang Zhang, vice president, Ashland Performance Materials, Asia Pacific. "This new facility will enable us to better assist our customers in providing competitive products to the marketplace while strengthening our position as China's leading gelcoats supplier."
"Ashland is committed to Responsible Care," said James Ying, operations director, Ashland Asia Pacific, "We have taken all possible measures to make sure our gelcoats plant demonstrates the highest environmental, health and safety standards, as other Ashland plants across the region."

The best kind of changes are the ones that are seamless. They go from point A to point B without a rumble, without a scream.
1 – I jumped off the cliff this weekend and, once again, upgraded WordPress! This is the 3rd time I've done that, the second without a hitch. Not really sure what functionality I gained, but supposedly, there is a security gain. Anybody who understands this better than I jump in now ;p
2 – Also into some new territory: le Chic Boutique styles page has been upgraded and standardized to look more uniform. Now all the pictures are the same size and style and the garments are grouped according to type. Hopefully, all the pages turn now in the proper order without hitting any dead ends.
3 – Most fun: I've added the lovely multi-picture effects (like you see in the post from the 30th that says "Click for Additional Views"). This one was a real bugger to get going — some Javascript throwdown between two different files made me cross-eyed for awhile, but it's behind me now and I can't stop dissolving between pictures. Hopefully, I'll be upgrading all of the designs to multiple views with large pretty pictures in the coming days. Any excuse to play in Photoshop but when you get something that's fun as well, what a bonus!
4 –
This has nothing to do with the website, but I fixed our garage door locks and feel like a geek of the highest magnitude. Armed with some WD-40, I unstuck the tumblers in the main deadbolt, and defrosted the little look too. shamWOW.
And then there was knitting…
One Mondo Cable sweater is not enough at this point; after a stash dive, another was added to the mix. On needles #2, a pullover going on with some yummy grey soft merino boucle from long ago. It's made by the defunct Jaeger company and is called Persia. Very comfy to knit and I hope to wear — it's almost polar-fleecy with tiny lofts and puffs.
So on the left, going with great speed as a Mondo Cable Cardi, Blackberry Ridge MOHAIR MIST and on the right, Jaeger PERSIA for the pulli. I have a sneaky feeling it's going to be a cold, cold winter this year and I am going to be ready with some chilly style.

"Environmental Enrichment of Rodents and Rabbits"
The structural environment
is comprised of the components of the primary enclosure, i.e. cage furniture,
equipment for environmental enrichment, and objects that can be manipulated by
the animals. The structural environment should include objects that increase
opportunities to enhance the animals' activities and behavioral well-being,
such as nesting materials, tunnels, and toys. Enlarging the space for an animal
can enhance well-being. Climbing accessories, shelters/refuges, and exercise
devices can be used to enlarge available space.
An animal's social needs
should be taken into consideration. The natural social organization of the
animals should influence how they are housed in the laboratory. Rabbits
naturally live in groups containing at least one other rabbit of the same sex.
Whether in cages, in floor pens, or in breeding groups, rabbits should at least
be housed in pairs, if possible, with the exception of mature non-castrated
males. Since rabbits are social animals, they mix well at an early age,
however, there may be difficulties with removal or replacement of adult rabbits
in an established group. Male rabbits can be housed in groups until they reach
sexual maturity, but may then have to be castrated to be housed in groups
It is recommended that
whenever possible, rabbits should be group-housed. However, if rabbits must be
caged individually for experimental purposes, enriching the environment of the
cage is beneficial. The cages should be large enough for the rabbits to sit
upright and lie out at full stretch. The rabbits should have visual contact
with other rabbits, but should also be able to withdraw from visual contact. A
resting shelf in the cage may be desirable. Boredom can be alleviated by
providing roughage such as autoclaved hay and straw, a varied diet, and objects
to gnaw on or manipulate, e.g. wooden shapes.
Mice and rats are social
animals and are housed in groups. However, this is not a natural situation for
males, and males may need to be separated if aggression becomes a problem.
Single housing may also be necessary for experimental purposes. Hamsters are
not social animals, which can lead to problems with group-housing. Humans are
part of the social environment of laboratory animals, and handling the animals
is an important component of daily routine care.
Rabbits may be provided a
variety of food treats both for enrichment and to supply roughage. For rodents,
food items can be scattered in the bedding so that animals search for it. Since
hamsters naturally hoard their food, scattering food pellets in the cage
provides a source of stimulation. Besides pellets, hay or straw can be supplied
for variety and to satisfy the need for roughage.
Sensory enrichment can be
provided in numerous forms (e.g. auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile).
Guinea pigs and rabbits are
easily frightened and react to environmental noises. Workers are encouraged to
work calmly and quietly in guinea pig and rabbit rooms.
Excessive light intensity
can be a problem for rodents. Rodents are nocturnal and sleep during the day.
Also, rodents with unpigmented eyes (such as albinos) are susceptible to
retinal degeneration if exposed to light intensities normally recommended for
human working conditions in animal rooms. The light intensity experienced by
the rodents is reduced by the presence of wire bar lids, food, water bottles,
and microisolator tops. It can also be further decreased by use of reduced
lighting, with timer-controlled supplemental lighting when people are working
in the room; by use of opaque cages; by not housing animals on the top shelf
near the light source; and by providing nesting material or a nest box so the
rodents can retreat from the light. Opaque cages or nest boxes can interfere
with the daily observation of the animals.
At Albert Einstein College of Medicine animal facility, nesting material
is provided to mice, and rodent cages are not placed on the top shelf if space
permits. Under maximum housing densities, however, the top shelf will be used.
Timer-controlled supplemental lighting is in use in most barrier rooms.
Animals should have a
certain degree of control over their environment because a lack of control may
cause stress. In laboratory cages, the possibilities for environmental control
are limited. Providing a shelter, e.g. plastic tubes or old drinking bottles,
gives animals the opportunity to withdraw from frightening stimuli or to hide
from too much light. Providing nesting material, such as Nestlets, gives the
animals a source of activity as well as the ability to create a protected
nesting place.

After 40 minutes of frustrating near misses, the Lafayette Hornets found their goal-scoring spark with four second-half scores en route to a 5-0 win over Franklin County in the Region 2-1A quarterfinal Thursday night.
MAYO — For the second straight game, Lafayette's players entered their locker room Thursday night nursing a slim lead at home and contemplating their missed chances.
In the first half of their Class 1A regional quarterfinal against Eastpoint Franklin County, the Hornets pinned the Seahawks for much of the opening 40 minutes deep in their defensive third and peppered the visitors' goal on a 14-1 shot advantage.
However, the only product of Lafayette's overwhelming time of possession came 32 minutes into the game on a goal by sophomore striker Jose Diaz.
"Sometimes we're like an old boat — it takes a little while to get our steam going," Lafayette coach Danny Glover said. "I tell them keep shooting and keep the ball around the net, it'll find its way in there."
After 40 minutes of frustrating near misses, the Hornets (15-5) found their goal-scoring spark with four second-half scores en route to a 5-0 win against Franklin County (8-6-1).
Last Friday in the District 2-1A title match, Lafayette also netted four in the final half at home to beat Tallahassee Maclay, 5-2.
"Our midfield the last three or four games has really stepped up for us and played some great soccer," Glover said. "That's helped feed the ball not only to our left side, but our right side and up the middle. So they really spread the field and stretch the field for us."
Leading the midfield's resurgent second half were sophomore Arron Wimberly, who slipped a through-ball for an assist on Diaz's first-half goal, and junior Ismeal Moreno.
In the 46th minute, Moreno stared down the right post from the corner of the Seahawks' box before drilling a 25-yard free kick to give the Hornets a 2-0 lead.
After another Diaz goal 13 minutes later, Wimberly started a Lafayette counter-attack that resulted in his second assist of the night when he flicked an overhead pass to Nick Singletary in the penalty box.
A senior forward, Singletary reined in Wimberly's service with a defender on his back and then buried a 10-yarder past the keeper's right hand.
"I was keeping my head up and making sure everyone got the right pass and we made our chances count," Wimberly said. "I kind of used my speed against them, because they weren't the fastest team."
Though Glover relieved many of his starters with a 4-0 lead after the 65th-minute strike, the Hornets' scoring streak did not slow down as junior midfielder Dustin Hart tacked on Lafayette's final goal on a right post tap-in with five minutes remaining.
With the win, the Hornets are set to host a rematch with Tallahassee Maclay, 1-0 winners Thursday against Port St. Joe, in the Region 2 semifinals Saturday at 7 p.m.

Playing any formation bar 4-4-2 against Ecuador just gives Ecuador a much greater chance of pulling off a 1-0 type victory. England have to impose their style of play on teams and play to their own strengths, it's no good playing to their weaknesses - you won't win the World Cup consistently playing rubbish unless you're Germany.
Owen had been fairly rubbish anyway, whilst Crouch had been better and Rooney is Rooney - I don't see why all of a sudden England should switch to 1 up front. Hargreaves had one decent game, but gives away too many needless free kicks which would cost England sooner or later.

Shoot me. I agree with that entirely. Very well said I must say. The only thing I don't agree with is Hargreaves giving away to many free kicks. He'll prove his worth against Ecuador IMO. A solid defensive mid. England must play a 4-4-2 Diamond though. It's so stereotypical and perhaps so "boring" (in terms of their tactical changes) but it's what they know and what they're good at.Originally Posted by Scaly piscine
Now that Aus are through I can stop feeling jealousy towards England and support a team that I do like. I'll just celebrate a bit then stick cotton wool in my ears if they win it

Housewarming Gift Tips and Ideas
While we're on the subject of moving and setting up home this month, we thought we'd touch on housewarming gifts, too. Chances are, you know someone setting up a new place to live this season. A few tips and gift ideas that are sure to be appreciated in any new home...
- Beware of buying decor items unless you know the receiver very well or know of a particular item they plan to purchase for themselves. When housewarming gifts dictate decor (think bed covers, rugs, pillows), you may be pinning the new homeowner in rather than helping them out.
- Neutral items like picture frames or candles may seem safe, but for that same reason, the new homeowner may likely receive lots of stuff like this. You don't want to add to their huge stockpile of unused picture frames.
- Gifts that are useful and special at the same time are best. Think of things you would love to use in your home but aren't likely to splurge on for yourself.
- A few ideas:
• 1 Out-of-the ordinary tea towels in a print they would appreciate, like this Mid Century Chairs tea towel by Grace and Go, from Look! Our Favorite 6 Modern Tea Towels
• 2 Fun serving trays that don't dictate decor but add a punch when entertaining, like these Marimekko Serving Trays
• 3 Special items for stocking their pantry, like this walnut oil, these glass storage containers, or this lavender sea salt
• 4 Method cleaning products, which can be purchased in pre-packaged kits, like their Summer Cleaning Kit in Pink Grapefruit
