Popular lingerie lines still available
HOLLISTER – Jeannine Porteur-Divincenzo of Boutique de Lingerie will continue to offer two of her most popular lines by appointment after her San Benito Street shop closes.

After closing, Porteur-Divincenzo will offer post mastectomy and the Lunaire line of foundation garments.
Existing customers for both lines can expect to get a 12-month calendar to set up appointments soon.
People who would like to make an appointment may continue to use the boutique’s phone number after it closes: 637-0722.
Better bonding

If your boss told you to go jump off a cliff, you’d probably clean out your desk and start updating your resume. But before you grab a cardboard box, better office rapport might be what your supervisor really wants.
Many companies are devising creative team-building exercises that reach far beyond the typical summer picnic and softball league, a recent survey found. Among the activities reported were bungee jumping, cubicle decorating and navigating through a cornfield maze.
Wackier events included line dancing on the beach in matching outfits, hosting a dog show and designing and playing a miniature golf course, according to the telephone survey of 250 advertising and marketing executives.
Collecting input from employees about their interests and abilities, however, is critical before managers drag everyone away for a weekend of tackle football, said Dave Willmer of The Creative Group, a staffing service that conducted the survey.
“What may seem like a good idea to a team leader or a manager may not be to the team,” he said.
Rapport-building activities should further the company’s goals, such as going skydiving to encourage risk-taking on the job, Willmer said.
Cash for your trash
It’s spring cleaning time again, and you might find some cash tucked inside your attic or stuffed underneath your bed.
While dollar bills probably aren’t packed away with your Christmas tree lights, much of the clutter lying around your house can earn you some money. More than 50 unused items worth about $3,000 are lying around the average American household, according to a new eBay Inc. survey.
Clothing accounted for more than half of the items, followed by electronics, accessories, computers and hardware, sporting goods, toys and furniture.
“If you haven’t used it in a year or looked at it in a year, it’s basically time to get rid of it,” said Shawn Henderson, eBay’s design director.
