Fall in Love with Your Home (Again)

By Ashleigh Young

Lastly, we’ve all seen mixed metals happening in jewelry over the past couple of years, and now this trend has extended into the home. It’s never been easier to freshen up your decor by creating unexpected mixed metal combinations like gold and silver, rose gold and matte black, and polished nickel and silver. One thing to note when experimenting with mixed metal lighting, bathroom or kitchen hardware or tabletop accessories, is that a little goes a long way with this trend.

Everyone has a relationship with their home. At its best, your home is a haven from stress, a reflection of your personal style and interests, and a source of pride and joy. But sometimes your home can start to feel stale and uninspiring, especially when life gets busy and you realize you haven’t paid attention to it in a while.

Luckily, 2017 has ushered in a host of exciting home design trends that can easily be incorporated into any budget or décor, so you can bring back that loving feeling just in time for Valentine’s Day. This year’s design trends are driven by a move towards rusticity and minimalism and an appreciation for simple pleasures, artisanal skills and creating a home that provides a sense of comfort and security. This is coming out of a time when many of us are feeling stressed out by political and economic uncertainties and a fast-paced, “always on” lifestyle that’s been intensified by our overreliance on digital technology.

Happy Decorating!

Neutral paint colors are still popular, although they are warmer and cozier now versus the greys and cooler tones that dominated 2016. Organic colors from the beach – soft blues, sand, sage grass green, and crisp whites – continue to work, especially in tandem with this years trend towards contrasting darker wood floors and finishes. We’re also seeing the rise of deep, jewel tones like teal, turquoise, deep blue, rich purple and emerald green being used as accents or to anchor a room, reflecting a sense of optimism for the future. These jewel tones still come from a natural palette, just one that’s bolder and more saturated.

Whether creating a natural, cozy refuge, or bringing jewel tones and mixed metals into your décor, follow your heart and choose things you love and you’ll never go wrong.

Bringing nature into the home with natural fibers and materials is one of the most popular trends happening now, and nature offers almost endless inspiration for home decorating. Furniture made from wood, cane, rattan, wicker and abaca add a textural element and dimension to a room.

Handmade and locally sourced textiles made from natural and/or organic wool, cotton, rope and baby alpaca are going strong. We’re seeing a huge rise in textured wallpapers made of grass cloth, paper weaves, sisal, seashells and cork (fast emerging as the darling of 2017, appearing everywhere from wall coverings to accent pieces). Oversized cut agates, large shells and freshly cut branches can also be used to add to this natural look.

At times we can all become a bit perplexed when it comes to finding the right gift for a loved one or someone we are growing close to. Is the gift unique enough, touching on the person’s personality or interests? Valentine’s Day is the day of love, filled with flowers and chocolates. Some gifts may include a proposal or simply a romantic dinner, quiet time and one on one great conversation. But if you are looking to provide a really unique, useful gift this year for your loved one, give the gift of Zen. Here are some examples of unique and even wellness oriented gift ideas for both her and him.

Safety

By Maureen Whelan

I was recently sent some links to a talk by Simon Sinek, an author, speaker and “optimist”, who advises on military innovation and planning. He currently has a video talk about “Millennials in the Workplace” that was flooding social media sites. The discussion was thought provoking as it it highlighted many issues that are a reality with the younger generation today. He piqued my interest and I wanted to see more. It was as I watched his talk about leadership success that I found my inspiration for this month’s column. Simon Sinek talks about what makes a leader a great leader, and he equates it to traits of a great parent. Simply put, a great leader instills a feeling of safety in their tribe. The tribe will then push themselves to their greatest capacity, because they feel as though their leader will do the same. This action generates a safe secure bond with both the leader and the tribe. He talks about many military leaders that embody this belief… the leader is willing to sacrifice for the benefit of the tribe.

It is not just an admirable trait, but a necessary one for success. As profound as Simon Sinek is, his ideas are not novel. In fact, they are remarkable similar to a renowned psychologist, Abraham Maslow, who developed a theory of hierarchical needs as a guide to psychological health. This theory is a belief I hold true, as feelings of safety and security are primitive needs to be full filled, with only the physical needs of food, warmth, water, and rest being greater.

If we were asked to build a house, it is common knowledge that to do so successfully, first one must build a solid foundation. As parents though, we often rush to the finishing touches never realizing the importance of our critical misstep, until our children begin to crumble under the weight of the world.

Our parental foundations are first the basic needs of food, water, warmth, and rest. The next layer is instilling feelings of safety and security. We must do this by showing our children that we ask of them only that which we are willing to sacrifice ourselves. Yet there are times, we place them on sports teams rationalizing it is a healthy activity as we hit the drive through for a latte. We drop them at Sunday school hoping they learn about a faith we barely recognize. We limit their screen time with auto-time controls so that we don’t have to look up from our cell phones to tell them to stop. We punish struggles and reward false titles so that we can tell ourselves we are in control. Yet none of these behaviors will cultivate a secure and trusting bond with our children. The young eyes see with clarity what parents are blind to, that our actions speak louder than words. But, when a parent is able to put down their phone, go for a bike ride, or attend Sunday mass, with their child it creates a sense of safety. This feeling builds trust that they are not alone, that they will be protected, and that their security is a priority. Only once these needs are met can parents begin to fulfill the higher level needs of giving and receiving love, friendship and belonging to tribe(family, friends, organizations). With security, our children will seek out their own interests in fitness or peer groups, develop a faith in what is familiar, and find value in human interaction over a screen.

Abraham Maslow also provides hope for parents, as this pyramid of hierarchical needs has no time line. It is a dynamic model and we move throughout our lives, and up and down between levels. We can not always prevent blows to our children’s feelings of security, or our own. But we can help promote healthy emotional development by being aware of what level our children are, and providing them Selfwith what they need at that time.

“Home” by Harlan Coben A book review by Brian Favretto

“The boy who has been missing for ten years steps into the light”.

What a great way to open a novel. Instantly I was excited for the rest of the story. “Home”, by Harlan Coben, is the 11th and most recent book in the Myron Bolitar series. He hasn’t been the focus of a book since “Live Wire” in 2011.

Myron Bolitar is the owner of a sports agency firm, though his career doesn’t really come into play in this plot. I enjoy reading the Bolitar books because unlike the main characters of some series, Myron doesn’t seem to have super-human capabilities, and he isn’t always finding himself in death-defying situations. He a is a realistic character that many of us can relate to. He has overcome adversity and experienced pain in his life and became a better person for it. He has also built strong and loving relationships, yet is apprehensive about his future. In this book, he is called upon by his best friend Windsor Horne Lockwood III (thankfully nicknamed Win) to become a second string detective and help solve a decade-old mystery.

isn’t talking. Back home in the States, the homecoming isn’t what you’d expect. Win and Myron are forced to start from the beginning, going back ten years, to see if they can piece something together that will help lead them to Rhys Baldwin. Slowly but surely, they realize that things are not adding up. Finding Patrick Moore should have concluded the mystery. Instead, it has opened a box that had been sealed with a tangled web of lies and deceit.

I really enjoyed this book because Coben’s writing is simple, and his progressive story is mostly easy to follow. When things get a little complicated, he smartly uses a character to provide the reader a clarification summary. The beginning was amazing, the ending was brilliant, though the middle may have dragged just slightly. What I liked most were several themes that Coben incorporated into this story. He touched on the realization that love sometimes brings emotional pain, and the truth that God’s plan supersedes our own, no matter how hard we try. He showed the danger of investigating without facts, which would lead us to “twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit the facts”. Most importantly, Coben highlighted the snowball effect of lying; how we end up creating more lies, and getting more people involved just to cover our tracks. As painful as it might be, honesty from the beginning brings peace, and will never eat you from the inside out.

At age 6, Patrick Moore and Rhys Baldwin are abducted from the kitchen of Patrick’s home.

There was a weak attempt at a ransom demand, then nothing else. Nothing for ten whole years, until out of the blue, Win receives an anonymous email stating that Patrick has been spotted in London. As the cousin of Rhys Baldwin’s mother, Win has no choice but to take the tip seriously. When the tip proves accurate, the scene in London quickly deteriorates, and Win needs help. Always willing, Myron heads to London and saves the day by rescuing Patrick. The problem is, there is no sign of Rhys, and Patrick

If you’re willing to find out how Coben tied all these themes into a well written story, visit the library in Point Pleasant Boro, Point Beach, Manasquan or Brielle, and bring a copy “home”.

Cans to Bottles to Cans, Again!

by Matt Connelly

was made from aluminum and lined with thin plastic. Secondly, Dale’s was not a watered-down, light American lager. It was hoppy and rich.

A revolution had begun.

This month marks the 82nd anniversary of the first time a canned beer was sold in the United States. On January 24, 1935, the Gottfried Krueger Brewery, in cooperation with the American Can Company, distributed 2000 cans of their beer to consumers in Richmond, Virginia.

The response was overwhelming. Within months larger breweries like Anheuser-Busch were seeing a significant enough impact on their bottom line that they, too, began to can their beer. By year’s end over 200 million cans had been sold in American markets.

Today, canned beer accounts for roughly 55% of all beer production.

It’s most notable growth, though, is in the craft beer industry where cans increased from only 2% of total craft volume in 2011 to 10% in 2014.

That growth – representing nearly 2 million barrels – accounts for about 1 percent of the total U.S. beer market.

The popularity of canned beer grew throughout the 1930s before exploding during World War II, when U.S. brewers shipped millions of cans of beer to soldiers overseas. After the war, the large national breweries took full control of the beer market by combining Americans’ affinity for beers’ new packaging with the distribution advantages canned beer possessed. By 1969, canned beer was outselling bottled beer for the first time in history and, by 1983, the top six breweries in the United States – Anheuser-Busch, Miller, Heileman, Stroh, Coors and Pabst – controlled 92% of U.S. beer production.

The trend towards canned beer seemingly benefits both producers and consumers. For the breweries, cans are cheaper to manufacture and cheaper to ship. “I can’t reveal the specifics of the cost-saving this represents to us, but it is a factor,” says Emma Giles, Guinness brand director. Furthermore, cans are more environmentally friendly than bottles.

Canned beer weighs less than bottled beer, making shipping more efficient while reducing the carbon footprint at the same time. Not to mention that, on the back end, recycling rates for aluminum are 100% higher than glass.

Finally, but not insignificantly, cans provide a greater surface area for graphic design and marketing.

It was the following year, though, that Jim Koch established his Boston Beer Company. Koch realized a market trend of customers seeking higher-priced imports.

To compete alongside the likes of Heineken, Corona and Bass, Koch brewed Samuel Adams Boston Lager, which was released to two dozen bars and restaurants in April of 1985. Boston Lager, along with the aforementioned imports, marketed itself as the anti-Budweiser. In the mind of Koch, “cans” represented the watered-down light lager being produced by the heavyweight macrobreweries. His beer, on the other hand, was dark, malty and refined – qualities complemented by the bottle in which they were served. Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, US beer drinkers operated on the assumption that high-end beers come in bottles, while budget beers are packaged in flimsy, 12-oz. cans.

American consumption of beer in metal cans began to wane by the late ‘90s and by 2002 American breweries were packaging nearly as many bottles as they cans.

For consumers, the benefits of canned beer are derived largely from improved product quality. According to Christian Ettinger, founder of Portland, Ore.-based Hopworks Urban Brewery: “The three enemies of beer are sunlight, oxygen and heat, so let’s take the heat out of the equation, because you can control that in either package. Aluminum is impervious to sunlight and is subject to lower oxygen levels when put in a can instead of a bottle, so two of the three enemies are kind of mitigated to a greater degree in aluminum than they are when beer is packaged in glass.”

And while that is true, the mounting consumer preference for canned beer likely has more to do with convenience. Cans are portable, stackable, unbreakable, and easily cooled, making them exponentially more useful to an average consumer of good beer.

It was in 2002, though, that Colorado upstart Oskar Blues began canning Dale’s Pale Ale and the market took note. First off, canning technology had evolved. The metallic taste that often accompanied tin beer cans that were lined with lead had disappeared, as the modern can

So head on down to your local beer purveyor and pick up some cans… for the love of beer!

Why Dogs Pant...

by Lauren Kehoe

Picture this. It’s a warm summer day without a cloud in the sky. You are hanging out in your backyard, the warm sun beating down of the grass. You hurl the tennis ball across the way, wiping beads of sweat off of your forehead. Your dog charges after the green sphere, dropping it at your bare feet. He sits down and cocks his head, tongue hanging out of his mouth.

Heavy breathing accompanies his dripping tongue.

Too excited to pause for water, his furry body shoots off again in pursuit of the ball.

Bingo’s Story

This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here!

We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Lauren Kehoe is an avid animal lover and dog owner.

Why do dogs pant? Dogs’ bodies are set up differently than humans. They have some advantages we don’t, such as having a better body structure for running and jumping. We have advantages they don’t, like a larger brain capacity for complex thinking. Some are just plain different. This is the case for panting versus sweating. When humans sweat, it is our body’s method of cooling down. Without it, we would overheat. With four million sweat glands across the human body, this proves to be an effective design. It helps us maintain homeostasis, and a healthy body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Without sweating, it would be easy to overheat and experience heat stroke.

This young guy has lots of energy and is so sweet and fun!!

He must have some working dog breed in there...either Aussie or Border Collie. He gets along well with other dogs and likes to play, play, play! He is about 1 1/2 years old and about 40 lbs.

Just like any new dog, he would benefit from obedience training.

If you have an active family, Bingo can’t wait to meet you.

Please come meet him today.

Ginny & Willow’s Story

Dogs’ bodies are not equipped with many sweat glands. Since they are covered in fur, the sweat would get stuck in their fur and fail to evaporate and cool them down. They have a few on their feet, which is why they sometimes leave wet paw prints on a hot day. Their feet sweat glands are not large enough to control their entire body temperature. Instead, they pant.

Panting allows dogs to move air throughout their body that is necessary to cool themselves down. The moisture on a dog’s tongue evaporates, and heavy breathing sends the moisture to the lungs. This can cool the body temperature significantly.

Picked up as strays in rural NC, Ginny and her sister Willow are 9 month old Hound mixes looking for a home to call their own.

These two are about 25 lbs but are so skinny; Ginny they could stand to put on some weight.

Both are very frightened here in their new surroundings and would be better suited in a calmer home with patience to help bring them out of their shell. Not sure if they may have been abused or just under socialized.

Obedience classes to teach them some Willow manners and bond with their new owners would also be helpful. Please give these girls a chance to know what it’s like to have a real family where they won’t end up on the streets again.

Prolonged heavy panting could be a sign of heat stroke, heart problems, or anxiety. If it continues after exposure to drinking or swimming water, or long after your dog stops exercising, excessive panting is something to keep an eye on. Spending time around your dog can help you differentiate the difference between normal body language and behavior or something out of the ordinary to keep an eye on. Panting in hot weather or directly after exercise is nothing to raise concern. Usually it is a perfectly normal bodily function. Without it, your dog just wouldn’t be a dog!

Abby’s Story

This big, beautiful girl was adopted from us as a kitten 8 years ago. She was recently returned by her owner’s because they sold their home and is having a new home built down in Florida. Apparently they will be staying with 3 different families during the year long construction of their new home and are unable to ‘lug’ Abby around with them.

Now at 8 years old Abby is in search of a new home where they will love her for the rest of her days and she won’t be cast aside again. Weighing in at 20 lbs, this girl needs a diet and some exercise! Do you have room in your heart and home for this sweet girl? Her heart is broken being left behind and she’s waiting for you to lift her spirits.

Finn and his brother Bandit were transferred in from another rescue group in hopes they may have a better chance at adoption here.

Both were rescues from a hoarding situation and are quite shy and like to hide. They are looking for a home with some patience and TLC. They are 5 years old and a calm, quiet household is what they need. If you think you may have the right home for one or both of these kitties please stop in to see them today.

Coconut is trending in the food industry these days and given the versatility of this fruit, there is no wonder. Coconut water is rich in electrolytes, and the kernel (or meat) of the coconut is high in lauric acid, which improves your HDL (good cholesterol) levels. The meat is also nutrient rich providing copper, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, and zinc. This Coconut Chicken has an exotic flavor and the perfect combination of sweet and savory.

It’s also a great way to take advantage of the delicious winter citrus this time of year. (Pictured with Basmati rice and sauteed vegetables.)

2 lbs boneless chicken trimmed and cut into pieces I can of unsweetened coconut milk 1 orange, zested and sliced thin 3 cloves of garlic, minced 2-3 TBSP red hot sauce (or more if you prefer more heat) 1 TBSP dried cilantro 2 tsp.

Mix together in a large bowl mashing the orange slices to help release some of the juice. Place chicken pieces in mixture and turn to coat all pieces. Wrap the bowl and place in refrigerator at least 8 hours or overnight.

Mix equal parts coconut flakes and seasoned breadcrumbs for coating.

Remove chicken from marinade and place in coating. Heat large skillet, and place ½” vegetable oil in pan. Place chicken pieces in heated oil and cook 3-4 minutes each side.until dark golden brown. Drain excess oil on paper and place on rack in warm oven until all chicken is cooked. Serve with sweet and sour sauce if desired.
