Three hour vacations
Sure, gas prices are slowly creeping down, but let’s face it – it’s still expensive to gas up these days. Because of this, some families who might normally choose to drive to Myrtle Beach, SC or Orlando, FL for their summer vacations are instead choosing to stay closer to home. On the following pages, we feature three beautiful towns in nearby New England that are great for families or couples wishing for a little more than a “staycation” – and none of them will break the bank.
Sise Inn, Portsmouth, NH
By Ciara McCann
Tucked along the Atlantic Ocean and the Piscataqua River, Portsmouth, NH was settled in 1623 by European fishmongers and shipbuilders. The call of the sea is still ever-present in today’s Portsmouth with rocky shores, ocean views, revolutionary garrisons, hip surf shops, tug boat tours, harbor cruises and seaside trails.
Portsmouth is that rare village where history and present day come together beautifully and effortlessly in cobblestone streets, historic attractions, wireless parks, farmers markets, trendy restaurants and locally owned boutiques. There is something for everyone in Portsmouth – the jewel of the Seacoast sparkles in every season.
There’s nothing better than walking outside in the morning and smelling the crisp, salty ocean air. While not something we have the luxury of in the Capital Region, I found this and so much more on a recent weekend trip to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
A little over three hours northeast of Albany, Portsmouth is described by many residents as a “mini Boston.” The streets are filled with Cape- and Colonial-style buildings and homes from the 18th century, yet there are modern touches as well. According to Portsmouth’s tourism website, the city was settled in 1623 and claims to be the nation’s third-oldest. Its geographic location, historic past and cultural strength regularly land it on “best places to live” lists. It has also been named one of the top 100 walking cities and one of America’s prettiest towns.
After spending the weekend exploring the city, it’s not hard to see why. My fiancé, Kurt, and I arrived mid-morning on a Saturday, eager to check into the Sise Inn, and begin our exploration of the city. The Inn is a hybrid of a hotel and a bed and breakfast. I had done some research on it beforehand, checking out the beautiful pictures online, but they were nothing compared to seeing it in person.
A sprawling, blue 19th century Queen Anne home that seems to go on forever, The Sise was originally built by Captain John E. Sise in 1881. It remained a private residence until developed into an Inn in 1985. This development included the addition of a rear wing that matches the interior design and detail of the original so well you have no idea when you have moved from one section to the other.
We were lucky enough to be brought on a tour of the property by the innkeeper, Diane, who has been there for 10 years. Our tour included most of the guest rooms and the separate carriage house lodgings. Each of the 34 rooms, while unique in their décor and layout, all convey a sense of charm and character that I’ve never experienced in an Inn before.
It’s hard to say what I liked the most about The Sise. It could be the magnificent woodwork that runs throughout the property or the antique fixtures and furniture that fill each nook and cranny. Maybe it’s the top-notch service, with a front desk that is staffed 24-hours a day and a complimentary breakfast buffet each morning. I suppose if I had to pick just one attribute that would keep me coming back, it would have to be its location.
While it is true that everything in Portsmouth is within walking distance – you can walk from one end of the town to the other in just 15 minutes – it really seemed like we were in the heart of everything at The Sise, yet it still felt quiet and peaceful.
Our first adventure found us on a hunt for a delicious lunch. Upon Diane’s recommendation, we headed to Geno’s Chowder and Sandwich Shop, which is located right on the water between New Hampshire and Maine. We sat on an outside deck and watched the fishermen float by on their boats, enjoying the ocean breeze. I ordered the clam chowder, while Kurt ordered one of their popular lobster rolls. He has been to the coast before and indulged in his fair share of seafood dishes, but he said this was the freshest and tastiest lobster meal he has ever had.
After lunch, it was on to learn more about the history of the town at the Strawbery Banke Museum. Portsmouth was actually known as “Strawbery Banke” until 1653, given the name by early British settlers because of the strawberry bushes that lined the Piscataqua River. The museum is set up like a miniature village, giving visitors the chance to experience and imagine how people lived and worked centuries ago through its restored houses, featured exhibits and interactive programs.
Once we entered the gates to Strawbery Banke, it felt as if we were transported back in time. There were people dressed in colonial attire, houses that were completely restored to their original furnishings and gardens and greenhouses full of period-appropriate plants and flowers. A wonderful place for the history buff, kids will also be entertained in their Discovery Center, where they can experience traditional games, crafts, chores and even try on clothing children wore in the 1700s.
Never being one to pass up an opportunity to do some outlet shopping, I convinced my fiancé to take the short drive (about eight minutes) to the Kittery Outlets in Maine after our walk through history. In exchange, I agreed to tour the Redhook Brewery in Portsmouth with him before our drive home on Sunday. While not a beer drinker myself, it was a fascinating and fun tour with a charismatic guide who walked us through the entire process, which ended with free samples and a souvenir tasting glass.
After working up an appetite shopping, it was time to head to dinner. We made the short walk from the Inn to Radici, an authentic Italian restaurant that, while unassuming from the outside, was warm and inviting on the inside. There are so many dining options in Portsmouth that it was difficult to choose just one place, but Radici’s menu offered smaller entrée portions, which I was drawn to. I chose the eggplant parmesan and Kurt had the seafood fra diavolo. Both dishes were the perfect portion size and very tasty.
During my research on things to do in Portsmouth, I discovered The Music Hall, a Victorian theater dating back to 1878 that, in addition to hosting plays and live performances, also shows movies. We made our way there after dinner and caught the 7pm showing of a recent film with a crowd of around 30 people. Even cooler than watching a modern-day film in an historic theater was the bar/lounge area in the lobby. Completely renovated with large columns, velvet couches and mood lighting, we wished we could come back when the bar was open to mingle with other theater patrons.
If you are worried that Portsmouth doesn’t seem to have much of a nightlife, you will be pleasantly surprised at all there is to do after dark. There are a few bars and pubs hidden along side streets, restaurants open late, and we even came across a live band playing popular cover songs at one spot. Looking for a more low-key evening after the movie, we stumbled upon Breaking New Grounds, a coffee and pastry shop, that was packed! Both in the mood for something sweet, we perused the cases of pies and cakes, ordered our selections to-go and brought them back to our room to enjoy.
The weather was just as beautiful the following morning, allowing us to continue seeing what Portsmouth has to offer, which is vast for such a small town. We browsed a used bookstore, had lunch at Me & Ollie’s Café (which was recently voted best inexpensive lunch on the seacoast), and wandered from shop to shop. We kept remarking on what a wonderful getaway it was and how we didn’t want to leave.
After only just scratching the surface of all the history and attractions found in Portsmouth, we are already planning our return trip. Visit with your significant other, family or friends and see for yourself – just don’t forget your walking shoes!

Woodstock Inn & Resort, Woodstock, VT
By Vikki Moran
Woodstock was chartered by New Hampshire Royal Governor Benning Wentworth in 1761. It was named the Shire Town of Windsor County in 1786 and quickly became a prosperous manufacturing and commercial center.
The town has been home to George Perkins Marsh, environmentalist; Frederick Billings, railroad empire-builder; Senator Jacob Collamer, advisor to President Lincoln; and Laurance and Mary French Rockefeller, conservationists and philanthropists. It is the birthplace of Hiram Powers, noted sculptor of “Greek Slave”. From 1826 to 1856, it hosted one of only six medical colleges in New England, the Vermont Medical College.
Woodstock was the terminus of the Woodstock Railway, 1877-1933, which connected the town to the Central Vermont Railroad in White River Junction. Travelers coming to Woodstock via the railway established the town’s reputation as a tourist destination, still prevalent today.
Called “the prettiest small town in America” by a national publication, Woodstock is famous for the architecture of its houses and churches. It is the site of the first ski-tow in the United States in 1934, home to the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and remains the only town in America with five church bells cast by Paul Revere & Co.
It is hard to resist a vacation in a quintessential Vermont town at an Inn that encompasses both New England charm and resort-like amenities. For many years, The Woodstock Inn and Resort in Woodstock, Vermont has hosted generations of families who wish to enjoy what the Inn and town of Woodstock has to offer. With breathtaking views everywhere you look, and activities like hiking, biking and hot air ballooning, this could be the most wholesome summer vacation you experience.
The Woodstock Inn is certainly not your cozy “little” New England Inn. Rather, it is a sprawling and grand place with 142-rooms, yet offers the quaintness and charm of a smaller establishment. Upon entering the Inn, you are greeted by a massive fireplace that is usually surrounded with people gathered on all sides enjoying drinks and conversation. I doubt anything in life says ‘welcome and relax’ like an open fireplace.
The main part of the Inn is truly a maze of long hallways dotted with cozy sitting areas. My favorite was outside of the dining room and the gift shop. Appointed with wicker furniture and great deep cushions, this is the perfect place to enjoy the fantastic light streaming in through the massive windows overlooking the street. Catching up on your favorite reading here could be a vacation in itself.
The Inn’s restaurant, The Red Rooster, is located outside the lobby on the first floor, and is a bit more modern than one would expect. With a square marble decorative pool in the center of the room and comfy booths, it’s easy to settle in for a great meal. I was impressed with how reasonable both the drink and food prices were for such a popular resort. Long Trails on draft (a local favorite and neighboring brewery within close range to the resort) sells for only $4. The wine list, while not extensive, is again more than reasonable. Like many Vermont restaurants, they are a part of the Vermont Fresh Network and listed on their menu are all the local purveyors from the cheeses to the meats.
Entrees are wide-ranging and can include anything from Black Truffle Risotto to a Grilled Cornish Hen served with a green bean casserole. One particularly good appetizer is a house-made Pate served with Huckleberry Compote, cornichons and whole grain mustard with Rosemary Toast. Worth noting is that Yankee Magazine voted The Red Rooster “best new restaurant”.
What Inn, especially a New England one, would be complete without a Tavern? Their tavern is large and has a wonderfully cozy feel to it. The menu offers favorites such as five cheese mac & cheese and seafood stew and very reasonable drink prices. And each weekend throughout the summer you can enjoy entertainment.
The Spa opened officially in September 2010 and is located in the main building (unlike the sports center and indoor pool which is about 1.5 miles away with shuttle service provided.) The Spa has a reception area that mirrors the modern look of the Red Rooster, but the sleekness is appropriate for this state-of-the-art spa. It was designed to be both elegant and functional, while keeping with the New England ambiance. Light spills dramatically through the windows in the main areas and each treatment room is private and beautifully appointed. One such touch are the bronzed botanical door hangers used as monikers for the treatment rooms.
The co-ed sanctuary adorned with Simon Pearce glass has a fantastic hot tub outside in a private spa courtyard, which is also co-ed. The Sauna is also located in the courtyard.
The spa treatments vary by season and incorporate the foods, flavorings and spirit of the Vermont season, i.e. Vanilla Maple in the spring and Pumpkin Spice in the fall. If I pressed myself for a favorite room, it would have to be the doubles accommodation room that can be used for couple massages. Woods adorn this room exquisitely and the center piece is a wooden Japanese soaking tub.
Forgive me if I have painted a picture of an adult vacation spot. Families galore enjoy this resort and take part in many activities and amenities designed for adults and kids alike. I spoke to a few people staying here who have such fond memories of their vacations as children that they have traveled back from all over the country to marry at the Inn, certainly ensuring many more years of new families making the Woodstock Inn & Resort a treasure to be enjoyed for years to come.

The Bee and Thistle Inn & Spa, Old Lyme, CT
By Danielle Pitanello
Many ship captains built grand houses in Old Lyme, which is on the Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Connecticut River. The community hosted one of the nation’s first art colonies, from 1899 to 1937 and today, the town remains committed to supporting the arts and preserving its quiet charm. The Bee and Thistle Inn follows this tradition by featuring artwork from local galleries, as well as individual pieces from area artists.
There are plenty of ways to spend a relaxing vacation, but one way is to just “let go” and step back in time. If that is what you had in mind this summer, The Bee and Thistle Inn & Spa just happens to be a solution to that vacation plan.
The Inn is set on more than five acres of beautifully landscaped property in Old Lyme, Connecticut, bordering the Lieutenant River. There are nine guest rooms that will take you back to an era that many of us have never known…simple refinement. Each room, as well as the entire property, reflects the gentle and elegant nature of its innkeepers, Linnea and David.
The Inn dates back to 1756 and was, like so many others Inns, a private residence to a local judge. The house originally sat a few miles away in Saybrook, but was moved to its current location at the turn of the century by another family. The sunken garden, porches and back portion of the house were then added. It wasn’t until 1930s that the home was turned in a business. It was owned by Henrietta Greenleaf Lindsay, a widow, who followed the advice of her actress friend, Elsie Ferguson, and opened it as an Inn to the public. The name, Bee and Thistle, is the Ferguson clan emblem in Scotland. Fast forward to today and you still find lovely accommodations (all with private baths), spa services offering unique treatments that reflect the area, and superb dining.
The Inn’s restaurant, The Chestnut Grille, is so much more than the average gourmet restaurant. It is the gathering place of locals for cocktails and light food after a long day’s work, as well as a gastronomical retreat for those visiting from far and wide. You may even be as lucky as my husband and I were and hear a song from the multi-talented Linnea. Strolling around the porch dining room with her house singer and guitarist, she joins in and truly charms everyone there. I was blown away to be in that setting with that food enjoying her warmth and good nature.
Days after our visit, she and David vacationed with their friend, world-acclaimed French Chef Jacques Pepin. These are folks that enjoy, appreciate and serve great food and their obvious love of the culinary arts must have fostered such a comfortable relationship with Pepin.
After a long day of hiking, golfing, kayaking or sailing on the river, or shopping at the many antique and specialty stores in town, head to the Inn’s nicely-appointed spa room to unwind. Services such as the Bee Yummy facial or a relaxation massage are provided by therapists from a local spa and are a wonderful splurge in one of the Inn’s Spa rooms It’s great to wander back to your room in your robe to enjoy a nap!
Just a short distance from the Inn are local museums, including The Florence Griswold Museum, right next door. It is billed as the home of American Impressionism and is certainly worth a visit. However, Old Lyme and the neighboring towns of Essex and Old Saybrook hold much to offer with galleries galore, great places to eat and more beautiful vistas then any set of eyes can take in. In the summer months, you can enjoy the Midsummer Festival and many outdoor concerts.
Just a short drive away is the town of Mystic, home to the Mystic Aquarium, a great place to take the kids. And of course, for those more daring, there is Foxwoods Casino in Masantucket or Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville.

JS, History, 1838–1856, vol. F-1, created 9 Apr.–7 June 1856 and 20 Aug. 1856–6 Nov. 1856; handwriting of and Jonathan Grimshaw; 304 pages, plus 10 pages of addenda; CHL. This is the final volume of a six-volume manuscript history of the church. This sixth volume covers the period from 1 May to 8 Aug. 1844; the remaining five volumes, labeled A-1 through E-1, go through 30 Apr. 1844.
History, 1838-1856, volume F-1, constitutes the last of six volumes documenting the life of Joseph Smith and the early years of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The series is also known as the Manuscript History of the Church and was originally published serially from 1842 to 1846 and 1851 to 1858 as the “History of Joseph Smith” in the Times and Seasons and Deseret News. This volume contains JS’s history from 1 May 1844 to the events following his 27 June 1844 death, and it was compiled in Utah Territory in 1856.
The material recorded in volume F-1 was initially compiled under the direction of church historian , who was JS’s cousin, and also assistant church historian . Smith collaborated with in collecting material for the volume and creating a set of draft notes, which Smith dictated to Bullock and other clerks. Woodruff gathered additional material concerning the death of Joseph Smith as a supplement to George A. Smith’s work recording that event. Jonathan Grimshaw and , members of the Historian’s Office staff, transcribed the draft notes into the volume along with the text of designated documents.
According to the Historian’s Office journal, Jonathan Grimshaw initiated work on the text of volume F-1 on 9 April 1856, soon after Robert L. Campbell had completed work on volume E-1. (Historian’s Office, Journal, 5 and 9 Apr. 1856.) Grimshaw’s scribal work begins with an entry for 1 May 1844. Unlike previous volumes in which the numbering had run consecutively to page 2028, Grimshaw began anew with page 1. He transcribed 150 pages by June 1856, and his last entry was for 23 June 1844. Though more of his writing does not appear in the volume, he continued to work in the office until 2 August, before leaving for the East that same month. (Historian’s Office, Journal, 2 and 10 Aug. 1856.)
assumed the role of scribe on 20 August 1856. (Historian’s Office, Journal, 20 Aug. 1856.) He incorporated ’s draft notes for the period 24–29 June 1844 on pages 151–189, providing an account of JS’s death and its immediate aftermath. He next transcribed a related extract from ’s 1854 History of Illinois on pages 190–204. Pages 205–227 were left blank.
provided the notes for the final portion of the text. This account begins with an entry for 22 June 1844 and continues the record through 8 August 1844, ending on page 304. (The volume also included ten pages of addenda.) The last specific entry in the Historian’s Office journal that captures at work on the history is for 6 November 1856. A 2 February 1857 Wilford Woodruff letter to indicates that on 30 January 1857, the “presidency sat and heard the history read up to the organization of the church in , 8th. day of August 1844.” (Historian’s Office, Journal, 6 Nov. 1856; Wilford Woodruff, Great Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, to George A. Smith, 2 Feb. 1857, Historian’s Office, Letterpress Copybooks, vol. 1, p. 410; see also Wilford Woodruff, Great Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, to Amasa Lyman and Charles C. Rich, 28 Feb. 1857, Historian’s Office, Letterpress Copybooks, vol. 1, pp. 430–431.)
The pages of volume F-1 contain a record of the final weeks of JS’s life and the events of the ensuing days. The narrative commences with and arriving at , Illinois, on 1 May 1844 from their lumber-harvesting mission in the “” of Wisconsin Territory. As the late spring and summer of 1844 unfold, events intensify, especially those surrounding the suppression of the Nauvoo Expositor in mid-June. Legal action over the Expositor leads to a charge of riot, and subsequently JS is charged with treason and is incarcerated at the jail in , Illinois. The narrative of volume F-1 concludes with an account of the special church conference convened on 8 August 1844 to consider who should assume the leadership of the church.
<June 8.> “The political views of the Prophet are as far in advance of the age as his religious principles— liberal, enlightened, and comprehensive; they are totally unique. The friend of equal rights and liberty, he advocates the emancipation of the slaves, and the opening of the prison doors. Independent in his actions, he cares for neither wealth nor fame, but is the friend of the poor. Uncorrupted by the spoils of office, he is opposed to the political aristocrats of lining their pockets with the hard earnings of the poor democracy. His liberality and benevolence extends from pole to pole; hear his views: ‘come , come , come , and come all the world; let us be brethren; let us be one great family; and let there be universal peace.’ What can be more liberal, more benevolent, or more in accordance with the spirit of our free institutions. Opposed to the low systems of political chicanery, practised by the corrupt office seekers of the age; he advocates the principles of unadulterated freedom. The friend of all mankind, he studies the convenience of the people more than the comfort of the cabinet. Uncompromisingly the friend of truth and freedom, he would carry out the spirit of our Republican constitution, without respect to party or fear of consequences.
“He stands alone; modern degeneracy has not reached him. Stern and unyielding in his integrity, the features of his character bear the stamp of Roman patriotism. No narrow system of vicious politics, no political demagoguery, no contest for the spoils of office, have sunk him to the vulgar level of the great; but unfathomable, great, and benevolent, his object is the freedom of the world, his ambition to win the love of all mankind. The sight of his mind is almost infinite, his schemes are to affect, not the and the present age only, but the world and posterity. And judging the future by the past, the means by which these objects will be accomplished, though seemingly small and insignificant, will be always seasonable, always adequate, the suggestions of an understanding animated by love, and illuminated by inspiration.
“Comprehension in his views, unflinching in his patriotism, uncontaminated by his intercourse with the world, unsullied in his character, unbending in his morality, independent in his actions, high literary attainments, of great practial capabilities, a gentleman and a scholar, what more can we ask in a Chief Magistrate. A character so exalted, so various, so grand, astonishes this corrupt age, and the political demagogues and office seekers, struggling for ‘the loaves and fishes’ tremble in every limb, and quiver, through fear, in every muscle, at the name of the far-famed General Joseph Smith. I cannot better express my opinion of him than in the language of Robinson in his character of the celebrated William Pitt: ‘Upon the whole there is something in this man that would create, subvert, and reform; an understanding, a spirit and an eloquence, to summon mankind to society, and break the bonds of slavery asunder— something to rule the wildness of free minds: something that could establish or overwhelm empires, and strike a blow in the world that should resound through the universe.’
“May the Great Jehovah inspire his heart with wisdom and understanding sufficient to lead his people in the paths of truth and righteousness, and bring about the reformation of mankind. May he be endowed with power to establish universal peace, prepare the way for the coming of the Messiah, and usher in the glorious millenium, and that he may have the divine sanction to all his proceedings, and be blessed in all his undertakings, is the sincere desire of,

Premier “Pay It Forward” Campaign
| Posted in Bank News
Reaching out to the communities that they live and work in
Premier Community Bank recently celebrated a milestone of reaching $300,000,000 in assets. This accomplishment is only achieved because of the support provided by the people, businesses, and organizations they serve. To help celebrate, Premier sponsored an internal "Pay It Forward" campaign that each employee was given the opportunity to give back $100 to a charitable non-profit donation of their choice. As of today, they are proud to say that 84 employees have submitted their forms and over 50 different organizations will be benefiting. Employees are still turning in the forms so there will still be additional dollars being given to more organizations over the next month. Premier is excited to be able to give back over $8400 to date into the communities that they live and work in.
“Financial milestones are nice to celebrate and in staying true to our values, it is even nicer to celebrate by doing something for others,” said Premier Community Bank President Tom Pamperin. “I’m excited we can pay it forward to the people and organizations that do so much in our communities yet ask nothing in return.”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year—Tokyo Fashion Week, where lines are driven primarily by creativity as opposed to market forces—and even in its opening days it does not disappoint. Exhibit A: crocheted face masks/topknots by the Vietnamese designer Nguyen Cong Tri, a study in luxury and elegantly concealing one’s identity.
The masks were made with the same fine Vietnamese silk the designer used on boxy jackets and flowing gowns, garments inspired by traditional rice farmer clothing in his home country, according to WWD.
Nguyen told WWD through a spokesperson that the silk he used is made in only one village in Vietnam, and that “they need to be dyed 90 to 100 times to achieve the proper shine, thickness and durability. The dye comes from the Mac Nua fruit and the whole dyeing and drying process takes about four months to complete. In effect, it took Nguyen two years to amass enough fabric for his fall collection.”
That is some boss shit, particularly when used to such delicate and striking effect—real life weaves and elegant fringe crafted with millions of fine threads.

text: In leu of Thanksgiving nails, I decided to do fall nails instead. Thankfully orange is associated with Halloween and Thanksgiving, so I emphasized that color before Christmas season takes over (i.e. green, red, and blue). I included a plaid french tip design on two of my nails, a fall leaf on my ring fingers and then on my middle finger i added some craft foil and dots to make it pop. I didn't have a secure plan when i started but I'm happy with the way the designs all go together. Plus I found some great flowers in the school garden to be my background.

ARLINGTON -- September 24, 2017, was the last time Jharel Cotton stepped onto a big league field. Ironically, he was pitching against the Rangers that day, tossing five scoreless innings for the A’s in Oakland.
1,405 days later, and Cotton is back in the Majors, having made his first relief appearance in Friday’s loss to the Mariners. He pitched two innings, allowing just one run during his outing.
His wife and baby girl Zola were at Globe Life Field, making the flight from Detroit earlier in the evening and landing just in time to watch Cotton pitch.
“I sent my wife a text [on Thursday] and said, ‘Hey babe, we got big league insurance,’” Cotton said. “She was like, ‘You’re going back to the big leagues?’ and I'm like, ‘Yeah, we’re going back to the big leagues.’ That's how I said it. She was full of excitement.”
One of two callups following the trades of veteran pitchers Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy at the Deadline, Cotton has posted a 3.00 ERA in 24 games in the Minor Leagues this season, almost all out of the bullpen.
Rangers manager Chris Woodward said that Cotton hasn’t been able to stop smiling since he got to Globe Life Field on Friday.
“I learned [Thursday night] that I was coming to the big leagues, and it was just an exciting feeling,” Cotton said. “I almost teared up in front of my guys [at Triple-A]. I couldn't sleep that night because I was so excited. I’m just full of excitement. I didn’t know if I was gonna pitch, but I was ready. They called my name and I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, I'm gonna pitch today.’ It's been three years. It was fun. My legs were light under me. I went out there and did my thing. It was great to be back in the big leagues.”
Cotton emphasized that it means a lot to him to get this opportunity with the Rangers, especially after going so long without an MLB appearance. His new role coming out of the bullpen was a change he initially resisted.
But when he was designated for assignment by the Cubs and picked up by the Rangers, they wanted the same thing from him. It was his wife’s encouragement that motivated him to take hold of the opportunity.
“I started thinking, like, ‘Hey, just go out there and pitch no matter if it’s [out of the] bullpen or [as a] starter. Just go have fun,’” Cotton said. “I felt like when I started doing that, things started being better for me.”
“He’s obviously pitched really well in Triple-A,” Woodward added. “He’s come as advertised as far as the makeup goes. Everybody loves this guy. He works hard, and he's a good presence to have down in the bullpen. His stuff looks good. Fastball has some life to it, his changeup is obviously one of the better ones in baseball. He's got a really good changeup, and he's added that cutter. The thing is, he's throwing the ball to the plate and executing pitches, and that's what we're looking for.”
Draft picks sign leading up to deadline
The Rangers have officially signed 18 of their 2021 MLB Draft picks in the final hours leading up to the deadline. After signing their 13th-round pick, left-handed pitcher Thomas Ireland, on Sunday morning, Texas came to an agreement with their second-round pick, outfielder Aaron Zavala.
Zavala signed for $830,000, which was well under the slot value of $1,952,300 at No. 38 overall. Zavala mainly plays the corner-outfield spots and was named the Pac 12 Player of Year after slashing .392/.525/.628 during the 2021 college baseball season.
“During Aaron’s routine physical as part of the signing process, a medical anomaly was discovered,” said president of baseball operations Jon Daniels. “The Rangers will work closely with Aaron and the relevant doctors on the next steps from both a medical standpoint and return-to-play program for him. We are thrilled to reach an agreement today and excited about Aaron joining the organization. We look forward to watching his development as a member of the Texas Rangers family.”
Texas also signed catcher Tucker Mitchell (14th round) and right-handed pitcher Kyle Larsen (18th round).
Seven Draft picks were also signed on Saturday: left-handed pitcher Larson Kindreich (8th round); outfielder JoJo Blackmon (11th round); right-handed pitcher Jackson Leath (12th round); right-handed pitcher Evan Elliott (15th round); right-handed pitcher Michael Alfonso (17th round); and right-handed pitcher Joseph Montalvo (20th round).
Per source, the bonus pool looks like this:
• Mitchell: $325,000
• Larsen: $575,000
• Kindreich: $150,000
• Blackmon: $250,000
• Leath: $125,000
• Elliott: $125,000
• Alfonso: $125,000
• Montalvo: $125,000

"Sandvik's strategy is to focus on the construction and mining sectors as these areas have been identified as sources of major potential growth, which will make significant contribution to the company's top line. Our new manufacturing facility, which will come up in Chakan, Pune, is expected to be up and run by 2016. Although due to global slowdown,there is a pressure on the company to retain its market share in order to maintain momentum which is a tough challenge but as a world-leading company we are geared up to overcome this too. At Sandvik, our focus continues to remain on long-term growth and profitability," says Mr. Raghavan Ramaswamy, Vice President, Global Markets, Sandvik Construction in an interview with S.A.Faridi.
At Sandvik's end, what are the measures initiated by it in the present slowdown spell to tweak its business models, business areas, exploring new growth avenues to dispel the prevailing pessimism in and around their businesses?
Due to the global slowdown and the government's instability, the positive signs from the first two quarters unfortunately did not continue as was anticipated. Demand remains in some segments, but has weakened further in some other as a result of reduced investment activity across the industry. This has increased the pressure to capture market shares in order to maintain momentum even in weaker business climate. At Sandvik, our focus continues to remain on long-term growth and profitability. This is a tough challenge but as a world-leading company, we are geared up to overcome this too.
In its attempt to target the focused area of business, Sandvik Asia, has decided to manufacture India-specific construction equipment as part of its strategy to focus on the construction and mining sector. How is the progress in this regard so far? When the manufacturing unit is expected to go on stream?
Sandvik in India has recently announced the acquisition of 50 acres of land located at Chakan, near Pune (India). This facility has been acquired for the purpose of manufacturing equipment as part of Sandvik's strategy to focus on the construction and mining sectors. These areas have been identified as sources of major potential growth, which will make significant contribution to the company's top line and the facility is expected to be up and running by 2016.
Financing small and medium contractors is becoming difficult these days as the banks as well as the financing companies have become very selective in their financing approach. How can financing to the genuine buyers be eased and ensured?
It is true that financing small and medium contractors is a challenge as institutions have become very selective. In order to ease financing to genuine buyers, it is important to include certain features in the deal that will attract buyers. For example, good discounts or subvention, introducing loss pool or buy back option in the deal. Having said this, financiers could in turn work toward providing certain riders like Guarantee or Warranty Terms, which can have an impact on positive decision making. Promotional Schemes can also be floated for limited period with financers and credit policies can be introduced to customers who are interested.

Web-Desk (April 06, 2018): World’s most dangerous market is located in Samut Songkhram city, Muang Samut Songkhram District, which runs along the Gulf of Thailand’s coastline southwest of Bangkok. It’s only about 60km from Bangkok.
You can get there by train, public van (minibus), or car. A fun thing to do is ride the Maeklong Railway through the market, and then got off and explore. Six times a day a train runs right through the middle of this Thai street market, sending vendors scrambling.
Called as Mae Klong market in the country’s Samut Songkhram province, the bazar is in close proximity of the train tracks and every time a train passes through, the shop owners move their stalls in order to make way for it.

As soon as the train bell rings, the hawkers have only 3-5 minutes to pack their stuff and move from the tracks, after which they set their stalls again.
The marketplace sells everything from fruits, vegetables and meat to clothes and other human-consumption stuff.Mae Klong railway market is located 50 kms from Bangkok and trains move through it for a total of 7-8 times, causing hawkers to move and set up their stalls again and again.

Wastewater treatment plant in one of tofu industries in Probolinggo City consisted of anaerobic digester and anaerobic biofilter (ABF) which the ABF did not operate for some time. The anaerobic digester was the main unit in this plant, thus the quality of the output of the treatment unit was far from the standard of Governor Regulation number 72/2013. To optimize the treatment system, it needed performance evaluation and redesigned of the wastewater plant. The evaluation and redesign included wastewater quality analysis, evaluation of existing wastewater treatment, determine the alternative treatment, and detailed engineering design. The results of this study showed that the performance of the plant was not optimal and redesign was required. Redesign of the unit included ABF and constructed wetland. Dimensions of ABF was based on existing unit which were 6.32 m x 1.10 m x 1.50 but the constructed wetland was proposed for 13 m x 6 m x 0.90 m.

What could possibly go wrong with ensuring our children’s lives are smooth and saving them from costly mistakes? Studies show that kids of helicopter parents often suffer at school and in the workplace. By hovering over our children and never letting them learn from their mistakes or face consequences, we can stunt our kids’ growth. Here are traits children of helicopter parents may share: acting out in the classroom, anxiety, difficulty making decisions, lack of “adulting” skills, and struggling in college and at work.
I’ve never heard of a parent who wants their kids to fail in life. That’s obviously not our objective when we help finish homework and drive forgotten lunches and papers to school. We’re just trying to help with the best intentions.
We should take advantage of the pool and swim team as a unique world within itself where our kids can practice skills for “adulting.” There are many life lessons inherent through years of swimming—we just need to let our kids experience them.
Here are four tips for parents to avoid helicoptering on the pool deck:
When our children forget their swim bags or neglect to tell us their goggles are leaking and they need new ones, let it go. They’ll learn from sitting out a practice or will borrow equipment from teammates. I was guilty of running home for towels or suits—for my own kids and their friends. My excuse was that we lived one mile from the pool. Looking back, I was taking away immediate consequences and learning moments. I wasn’t helping any of them.
Issues come up between friends—whether they’re in school or at the pool. We can be good listeners when our kids have problems with peers and we can make suggestions. But, we should step back from addressing the kids or their parents and getting into the middle of it. More often than not, issues resolve themselves and problems that seem big at the moment go away on their own. If we get involved, we could make things worse and rob our children of developing relationship skills.
Goal setting is one of the great lessons learned from swimming. We need to remember that our kids will set their own goals, not us. We may have an idea of what we’d like them to shoot for, but it’s not our goal. It’s theirs. For them to have ownership, they need to develop goals themselves and with the help of their coaches.
Let our kids talk with their coach. If they’re going to miss practice for a dental appointment or study session, allow them to initiate this conversation. It’s so easy to discuss schedules, group assignments, or events at meets with the coach on our children’s behalf. Some parents spend more time talking with coaches than their kids. Communication should be handled by our kids—certainly by high school if not younger. We need to let our kids be the primary communicators with their coach and learn to not speak for them.
What tips do you have for parents to stop helicoptering on the pool deck?

Keeping a public travelling diary is definitely popular among travellers, as it can help travelers recall the events of their journeys and where we were holding. Not only can it provide a useful idea for near future travelers, additionally it is a fun approach to doc your travels. If you’re planning a vacation, a public travel diary is a superb way to consider what you does on your previous trip and what you’re likely to your next time.
Although the PALMS and public travel around diary info are similar, the agreement costs varied by mode of travel. PALMS’s place identification criteria correctly determined 16. 3 or more more areas per subject than the travelling diary. Nevertheless , these effects did not completely address the down sides with travelling diary data. Inconsistencies regarding the two methods were especially pronounced when comparing trips made by bicycle through car. For that reason, PALMS-generated excursions are not entirely reliable, creating a large number of problems.


In the world of web development, the architecture of a web server plays a crucial role in determining its performance and scalability. There are generally two approaches to web server architecture: monolithic and microservices.
The monolithic architecture is the traditional approach to building web servers. In this approach, all the components of an application are tightly coupled and run as a single unit within a single process or container. The entire application, including the user interface, business logic, and data access layer, resides in one codebase.
This approach has its advantages. It is relatively simple to develop and deploy since there is only one codebase to manage.
Additionally, it can be easier to debug issues as all the components are in one place. However, monolithic architectures can become difficult to maintain and scale as applications grow larger and more complex.
Advantages of Monolithic Architecture:
- Simplicity: Monolithic architectures are relatively easy to understand and develop.
- Deployment: Deployment is straightforward since there is only one codebase.
- Debugging: Debugging can be simpler as all components are in one place.
Disadvantages of Monolithic Architecture:
- Maintainability: As applications grow larger, maintaining a monolithic architecture becomes increasingly challenging.
- Scalability: Scaling specific components or services independently can be difficult with a monolithic architecture.
- Fault Isolation: A failure in one component can bring down the entire system.
Microservices architecture is an alternative approach to building web servers that aims to address the limitations of monolithic architectures. In this approach, an application is divided into a collection of small, loosely coupled services that can be developed and deployed independently. Each service focuses on a specific business capability and can communicate with other services via well-defined APIs.
This approach offers several benefits. It enables teams to work independently on different services, allowing for faster development and deployment cycles.
Additionally, microservices architectures are highly scalable as individual services can be scaled up or down based on demand. This modularity also enhances fault isolation, preventing failures in one service from affecting the entire system.
Advantages of Microservices Architecture:
- Modularity: The modular nature of microservices allows for independent development and deployment.
- Scalability: Individual services can be scaled independently based on demand.
- Fault Isolation: Failures in one service do not bring down the entire system.
Disadvantages of Microservices Architecture:
- Complexity: Developing and managing multiple services introduces additional complexity.
- Inter-service Communication: Communication between services needs to be carefully designed and managed.
- Distributed Systems Challenges: Building distributed systems comes with its own set of challenges, such as data consistency and transaction management.
In conclusion, both monolithic and microservices architectures have their own pros and cons. Monolithic architectures are simpler to develop but can become difficult to maintain and scale as applications grow larger.
On the other hand, microservices architectures offer scalability and fault isolation but introduce additional complexity. The choice between the two approaches depends on the specific needs and requirements of the application.

It has been raining a lot in this part of the world. I don’t want summer to be over and I keep posting summer inspired posts until Fall really is here. Today seven perfects spots for enjoying a lazy summer day.
I’m loving this beautiful country kitchen in a Swedish garden cottage. It looks so warm and cozy. To get this country style you can use copper pans, a (vintage) butcher table and rustic wooden chopping boards. Similar chopping/bread boards are available from Le Souk. These are handmade by artisans in the north of The Netherlands. Perfect for serving and presenting beautiful food!
Maison Estate is a beautiful vineyard and restaurant located in Franschhoek, South Africa. It is dedicated to three simple pursuits: the production of beautiful wines, the making of delicious food and the appreciation of great design. The wine-producing vineyard includes a stunning new tasting room and restaurant where you can relax in a space that engages all the senses. Owner Chris Weylandt is also the owner of well-known South African furniture and homeware store Weylandts. He has seen the world, and as an avid wine connoisseur the decision to produce his own collection of wines from his Franschhoek farm is one of his long-time dreams. Renowned for his attention to detail and organic design philosophy, Weylandt’s wine production is an eco-conscious labour of love. The restaurant is beautifully decorated (simple yet elegant with lots of wood) and there is also a venue that can be rented for weddings and events. Have you seen that wine bottle chandelier in the first picture? Isn’t that stunning?!
When I was in Australia years ago I was surprised by the amount of coffee bars and great restaurants. And this was in 2001/2002, at that time it was very hard to get a descent coffee here in Amsterdam and there I was in cities such as Melbourne and Sydney where I could get a perfect espresso on almost every corner. I was in coffee heaven! Now the coffee culture is probably even more thriving and I can not wait to visit this wonderful country again some day. Another thing that I remember was the decor; most coffee places and restaurants were beautifully decorated in a modern yet cozy style. The two coffee bars featured in this post are designed by Melbourne based studio Larritt-Evans. The first four images show ESPL in Surfers Paradise. Coffee bar Market Lane (Therry St) in Melbourne is pictured in the botton four images.
Copenhagen (Denamark) restaurant Höst has been choses as best restaurant by Travel & Leisure magazine. This beautiful restaurant designed by Norm Architects and Menu use local, organic and sustainable ingredients for their New Nordic cuisine. The decor is a mix of modern and rural farm style. Industrial lights, rough plank ceilings and tables, windows recycled from an old hospital, wooden cutting boards give the place a unique yet cozy feel. Dinnerware in white, grey and blue has been especially created by Menu. The place is definitely on my ‘places-to’go’ list!
SIMPLY SLOW, a lovely community initiating small get togethers, recently organized a winter BBQ in bio dynamic farm ‘De Stadshoeve’ in Zunderdorp (which is by the way not far from where I live). During this get together the participants learned to make a loaf of bread. They were taught how to knead the perfect dough with just some basic needs: flour, water, sourdough and a little salt. From experience I know that this is all you need to make delicious bread. It is very simple but you just have to know how to do it. In the meantime a warm fire was lit outside in the yard where kids baked their bread on large sticks. Inside the barn glühwein (mulled wine) and hot chocolate was served. SIMPLY SLOW: “Simple life was embraced with warm companionship, honest laughter and pure food.” I just wish that I was there to enjoy this wonderful initiative..
Sunday Suppers recently hosted a Kinfolk dinner to celebrate the launch of their new book (I have a copy and it is beautiful by the way!). Mulled wine was served as well as a crostini of basket cheese and husk cherry jam. The food all looks delicious but I especially love the styling: garlands of leaves, linen table linnen, simple yet stylish ceramic tableware and a beautiful fabric sign and menus. If you are hosting a Christmas perhaps this can give you a bit of inspiration!

Despite its ‘.com.au’ domain, Mobicity is based in Hong Kong, where the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is widely available. While it is an infringement to import patented products into the country, putting a stop to the imports would most likely require Apple to obtain a further injunction against Mobicity. The Federal Court of Australia could – and indeed probably would – issue such an injunction, however it would be necessary then to apply to a Hong Kong court in order to enforce it against Mobicity. As we have previously noted, there are no provisions in the Australian patent law which would enable Apple to have goods seized by customs upon entry to the country.
We are not at all surprised by Apple’s action (see Samsung’s ‘Eyes Wide Open’ Sinks Australian Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Samsung Appeals, Retaliates, in Patent War With Apple for previous discussion on this topic), although it remains to be seen how far it is willing to go in pursuing individual retailers.
So far it appears that eTail Solutions may be the only online retailing company to have received any complaint from Apple since the Federal Court granted a preliminary injunction against Samsung. At least, if there are others then they are not telling. While outspoken online retailer Ruslan Kogan agreed to stop selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet after Apple threatened legal action, this occurred prior to the issue of the injunction (see Fairfax Media report Kogan buckles to Apple legal threats). According to the Australian report, Australian online retailer dmavo.com.au has denied receiving any correspondence from Apple, so far, while the Galaxy tablet continues to be sold to Australian consumers by a range of online stores and ‘micro-retailers’ on eBay.
Although the existing injunction is effective against Samsung only, and cannot be enforced against individuals and retailers in Australia or overseas, one option that Apple might consider is to ask the Federal Court to extend the terms of the injunction. For example, in addition to restraining Samsung from distributing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, the injunction could include a restraint on supplying the product to any other distributor which may cause it to be imported into Australia.
However, the practicalities of such an injunction are significant. While Samsung could presumably require distributors to whom it supplies products directly to provide undertakings not to ship to Australia, it is unlikely that it could successfully enforce similar restraints further downstream in the distribution chain, and particularly against smaller retailers.
Despite Apple’s aggressive approach to litigation against competing manufacturers, such as Samsung, HTC and Motorola, to date it has not sought to enforce its IP rights directly against downstream distributors, retailers or individuals in any of its international disputes. The numbers of products involved are no doubt well below the many tens – or hundreds – of thousands of units that would be sold if Samsung were able to distribute directly into Australia, and the sources of those products are too widespread and fragmented to be effectively policed. Apple can no doubt find better ways to direct its time and energy.
At the time of writing, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 remains on-sale and available in stock from Mobicity.


VILLARREAL (Spain) • Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari believes losing his star forward Gareth Bale to injury midway through his team's LaLiga match at Villarreal cost his side victory.
The European champions endured a frustrating start to the new year on Thursday as they drew 2-2 at struggling Villarreal and were left seven points behind leaders Barcelona.
"We had the victory in our hands and wanted to kill the game. But they came back and got the equaliser," Solari told Movistar.
"They pressed a lot, were playing at home and needed the points.
"Gareth leaving like that cost us as he had a problem and we missed that counter-attacking edge, and Gareth is a specialist at just that. He got a bang and felt something and was not able to continue."
Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla gave the home side the lead in the fourth minute of the game which was rescheduled due to Real's participation in last month's Club World Cup. He bent a wonderful shot into the bottom corner of Thibaut Courtois' goal.
But Real struck back three minutes later with a headed goal from Karim Benzema.
Raphael Varane then gave the visitors the lead in the 20th but it was 34-year-old Cazorla, having overcome a terrible run of injuries to resurrect his career in Spain, who had the final say with his second goal.
Real have not won their opening away game of a new year since 2014, and Cazorla's late strike prevented them from going level on points with Sevilla, keeping them in fourth place after 17 games.
Apart from conceding early, Real were impressive in the first half but lost their grip on proceedings after Bale was substituted with a knock.
Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric, who helped set up the equaliser, followed Bale off the pitch midway through the second half and Villarreal, spurred on by their supporters, showed more intensity to regain control of the play.
Villarreal, who have reached the last 32 of the Europa League despite a dire domestic season, clawed their way out of the relegation zone to 17th in the standings, level on points with 18th-placed Athletic Bilbao.
"This result will give us strength," said Villarreal coach Luis Garcia, who has taken two points from two games since succeeding the sacked Javi Calleja.
"I imagine that every game from now on will be a battle, a war to survive. But hopefully we'll come through it, and this point gives us a big emotional boost."

Partisan politics harden on Social Security
WASHINGTON -- From the buttoned-down confines of a Senate hearing room to a boisterous outdoor rally nearby, Democrats took on President Bush and his Social Security proposals with gusto on Tuesday and rebuffed pleas for bipartisanship from frustrated Republicans.
"If he's going out to push for privatization, let's help him pack," Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said to cheers from a sun-splashed crowd on the lawn across the street from the Capitol. He was ridiculing Bush's heavily publicized 60-day tour to build support for his proposals.
"Personal accounts unravels the Social Security safety net in a way that makes it hard to find common ground," said Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, one of several Democrats who criticized the president's recommendations at a lengthy Senate Finance Committee hearing.
The Republicans didn't just sit and take it.
"Those of you that are bad-mouthing every other suggestion out there, suggest your own plans," Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley, the normally mild-mannered committee chairman erupted at one point during the hearing. "Doing nothing is not an option, because doing nothing is a cut in benefits," he added. "Grandpa Grassley gets Social Security, but my granddaughter, when she retires 56 years from now, if we do nothing, is going to get this cut that you're talking about."
Taken together, the hearing and the rally underscored the hardening of partisan differences in the three months since Bush called on Congress to enact solvency legislation that included an option for younger workers to invest part of their payroll taxes on their own.
The president was in Galveston, Texas, during the day, the latest in a string of appearances designed to build support for his plan. His cross-country campaign neared an end as a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed public support had declined for his plan for personal accounts.
Against that backdrop, Bush's top political aide, Karl Rove, journeyed to the Capitol for a meeting with GOP senators that one participant said included a discussion of Social Security. The White House and Bush's Republican allies in Congress have been struggling for weeks to advance legislation that meets the two goals Bush has stated -- placing the program on a stable financial footing while creating the voluntary personal accounts for younger workers.
His proposal, which Democrats unvaryingly refer to as privatization, envisions deep cuts in guaranteed benefits for future retirees.
House Republicans, confronting solid Democratic opposition and fearing a political backlash in 2006, have made it clear they want the Senate to move first on legislation that would make major changes in Social Security.
But efforts to do so are hampered by the same Democratic opposition and by skittishness among several members of the GOP's own rank and file. After weeks of insisting that any legislation would have to be bipartisan, Grassley said recently he might try to craft a measure that had only Republican support.
Even that may prove difficult, given the breakdown of votes on the committee, although he said after the day's session he remained determined to try.
"We need to start somewhere and we don't need to have unanimity among Republicans to start," said Sen. Craig Thomas of Wyoming, one of 10 Republicans on the panel, which has eight Democrats.

In November of last year, Bruno Mars released a song as part of his new album called “24K Magic”. Whether or not you like the song, there’s no doubt it has been incredibly popular since it’s release, played on radio stations and most likely in parties across the world. The song has a distinctly funky vibe, one that permeates Bruno Mars’ recent songs and has a knack for making people get up and dance.
This isn’t on accident; the fascinating video above, made by Nerdwriter1, analyzes the song and explains just why Mars has been able to recreate the funkiness and danceability in his music from legends throughout music history. Going all the way back to famous artists like James Brown and lesser known artists like Roger Troutman, the Nerdwriter uses the history of music as a way to illustrate the songs’ success, from the funk drum beat to the use of the voice box in the start of the song.
