Cool table made from a reclaimed door

Manoteca is a design studio located in Bologna (Italy) focusing on reclaimed furniture design. The first piece is called outdoor, it’s a table built starting from an old exterior door. It can be used as a table for 8 or it can be opened and used as desk/work station. See more of this type of stuff at at Manoteca’s site.

Jamey Carroll to be Twins new SS

Jamey Carroll to be Twins new SS
Carroll is close to signing a multiyear deal with the Twins according to preliminary reports from Baseball America writer Jerry Crasnick, and would be their everyday shortstop.

Carroll, who will be 38 in February, is coming off a two-year, $3.85-million contract with the Dodgers. Due to team injuries, he played more like a starter, batting .290 in 803 at-bats during his two seasons with the Dodgers.

Fun fact: Jamey Carroll has had a higher on-base percentage than Michael Cuddyer in each of the past four seasons.

If it’s a good price, then I am fine with it. The multiyear deal thing does make me nervous on a guy at his age though. More to come.

**UPDATE: Jamey Carroll getting $7M over two years from #Twins (via @Ken_Rosenthal)

Ashton Kutcher quits Twitter

I love how DB Ashton Kutcher is all of a sudden the voice of morality. I also think banging 23-year-old girls in a hot-tub when you are married is an #insult from a guy with #noclass, and generally in “poor taste.” Let’s all unfollow this assclown and see what his publicist does with that.

Man hands out fetus dolls for Halloween

From WSBTV 2: Some parents who attended a trick-or-treat event in Loganville say they were offended by what some children got with their candy; a doll resembling a 12-week-old fetus.

Man hands out fetus dolls for Halloween

The man who handed out the dolls, or fetus models, is Joshua Edmonds, senior minister of ‘Project: Ignite’, which he describes as a Christian social justice organization.

He believes those who were offended misunderstood his message about life, and that he did not mention abortion during the event even though his organization is against abortion.

“We’re still trying to understand where the offense is at,” Edmonds said.

Watch the news story here.

Can someone go punch Joshua Edmonds in the face? This idiot needs to find another way to share his views on abortion. Although abortion is horrific, Halloween should not be a time to hand out political messages.
