Swedish stunner Dorothea Barth-Jorgensen is a rare creature. Not only does she steal the spotlight with her wide-set eyes, high cheekbones, and signature pout, but she also eclipses the competition with a sartorial sense that is inspiringly unique. Unlike some strutters who shine in runway designs, but underwhelm us the second they slip back into their requisite moto-boots, Barth-Jorgensen's playful style, actualized from a mix of designer treats and high-street and vintage finds, displays a true love of fashion. Plus, the classic beauty's proclivity to "make" some of her own items (that's right, she just whips up one-of-kind jackets and dresses for fun!) clearly displays a devotion to the magical world in which she works. The combination of these daring dressing sensibilities and inherent talentÂ--she walked a bevy of runway shows for S/S 11 including Chanel, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Rodarte, graces the pages of Vogue, W, and Love in hauntingly lovely spreads, and has her own blog full of behind-the-scenes photosÂ--is what makes Dorothea Barth-Jorgensen the perfect subject for this month's Model Off Duty.
While Barth-Jorgensen's personal styleÂ--which is well-documented at The Fashion SpotÂ--is too deliciously eclectic to force into any singular genre, we have noted that she often opts for a masterful mix that begins with American Apparel's Nylon Tricot Leggings ($34) and ends with an intriguing upper half! Take, for example, her outfit backstage at Sophia Kokosalaki's F/W 09 show (top row, right). The leggy model paired her super spandex with a bandleader-inspired Richard Chai vest, Topshop Unique lattice boots, and topped it all off with a self-made jacket for a quirky Sgt. Pepper-like look we love. The multi-tasking model also took the opportunity to spruce up her liquid leggings more recently when she posed for the camera backstage at the Valentino S/S 10 show (top row, far left). The beauteous Barth-Jorgensen selected a soft-hued, golden-brown scarf and top from Dries van Noten, and forewent her usual footwear for Valentino's Garavani Mia Sandals ($750) from the runway collection.
Still sticking to her tried-and-true American Apparel bottoms, but stepping up the MOD uniform with the addition of lace-up vintage boots from New York City's Screaming Mimis' boutique, Barth-Jorgensen channeled an androgynous vibe at the Haider Ackermann S/S 10 show (bottom row, far left). There, she contrasted the go-to base with sleek vintage favorites in the form of a white button-down shirt and an evening-appropriate cropped jacket. Barth-Jorgensen once again opted for a similar style equation (leggings + boots + upgraded outerwear) backstage at Lanvin's F/W 09 show (bottom row, center). This time the expert outfitter altered the legging silhouette by adding a Monki black dress and a luscious, silvery gray tiered Richard Chai jacket with a subtle brocade printÂ--a prescient nod (we'd expect no less!) to the Baroque'n'Roll trend of this current season!
While the stylish Swede clearly has a knack for sprucing up her favorite leggings, she also has a few other tricks and silhouettes up her sleeve! Case in point: backstage at the Proenza Schouler F/W 09 show, Barth-Jorgensen threw together an edgy, cool-girl ensemble that's achingly, effortlessly chic (top row, center). Thinking outside the box, she used a Staerk bathing suit as her base and then added black-and-bleached The Second Skin Jeans ($55) from Cheap Monday, Proenza Schouler two-tone boots from their F/W 09 collection, and yet another self-designed jacket we wish she'd produce for sale! But Barth-Jorgensen's handsome handiwork is not just limited to outerwear; to run from show to show during Paris Fashion Week S/S 10, the savvy Swede slipped on a lovely dusty rose-colored dress she whipped up herself, and finished off the look with a vintage motorcycle jacket and her favorite pair of bootsÂ--strategically unlaced, of course (far right).
While much of Dorothea Barth-Jorgensen's wardrobe is one-of-a-kind, we've found some pieces that will give you a chance to recreate her chic, off-the-clock style! One of the primary items on your to-buy list should be a blazer; we like L.A.M.B's Crepe Blazer ($445) because it's similar in shape to Barth-Jorgensen's own design and either Kimchi Blue's Cutaway Cardigan Jacket ($58) or Silence and Noise's Tuxedo Blazer ($78) for a lighter option in the style of her Richard Chai topper. If you're looking for another jacket-centric option akin to the all-vintage ensemble Barth-Jorgensen wore backstage at Haider Ackermann, try layering Selected Femme's Cropped Blazer ($93) over a classic button-down like Theory's Larissa Top ($190) for a nearly identical look. Additionally, you'll need some pants to wear with all these jackets. The key is to pick something superslim and dark, whether that's a pair of American Apparel leggings or skinny jeans with some sheen, like J. Brand's 912 Low-Rise Pencil Leg Jeans ($198) in Venom. Aside from the blazer-and-skinnies combos, we also like Joie's Chateau Sandwashed Dress ($198), which boasts the same rich-blush hue as Barth-Jorgensen's handmade frock. Style it with a little leather (or leather-like) layer, such as Forever 21's Motor Leatherette Jacket ($25), and combat boots for a perfect pseudo-girly look.
Finally, our muse of the day clearly has a thing for her go-anywhere boots, so emulating her personal style means lace-ups are required! While Barth-Jorgensen's go-to pair is vintageÂ--let her pick inspire your next trip to the flea market or local antique boutiqueÂ--we found some in-stock options for your shopping pleasure. We think Oasis' Izzy Work Boots ($117.95), and either Miz Mooz's Jayne Boots ($160) or Aldo's Stallins Pointed Lace-Up Ankle Boots ($185) will give you that perfect MOD finishing touch!Â--Liza Kaplan

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
The seventh borehole broke through at the Crandall Canyon mine at approximately 4 a.m. on Aug. 30, but officials found only a two and one-half foot void and non-breathable air.
The hole began to fill immediately with mud and crews were forced to move to a different location for insertion of the robotic camera.
As rescue crews continue efforts in Huntington Canyon, local and state officials included in the newly formed Utah Mine Safety Commission have started the panel's information gathering endeavor.
According to Price mayor and commission member Joe Piccolo, the state safety panel is comprised of chairman Scott Matheson; executive secretary John Baza, director of the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining; Dennis O'Dell, United Mine Workers of America; Utah Sen. Mike Dmitrich of the Utah Senate; former United States Sen. Jake Garn; Hillary Gordon, Huntington mayor; Davit Litvin of the Utah Mining Association: and Utah Rep. Kaye McIff.
The state commission conducted the panel's first meeting via phone conference on Aug. 27.
"Our first meeting centered around the scope of what the committee would like to accomplish," explained Piccolo. "As a group, we felt that safety, prevention and response were some of the issues we felt most strongly about."
Piccolo reported that the commission has not been chartered to be investigative in nature. Instead, the members would focus the panel's energies on accumulating information and compare Utah coal production operations with the safety of other mines in the U.S. and with different industries in general.
"I would like to make it clear that this board is not out to shut down mines in Utah. The committee knows the value of coal mining in Utah and especially in this area," pointed out Piccolo.
During the next couple of weeks, the Price mayor indicated that the committee plans to focus on what members can do to foster better communication between the group and the communities involved with coal mining.
As one of the first steps, Piccolo has taken the feedback he has received from the public to date and requested that the chairman form a new portion of the committee consisting of mine safety along with engineering experts.
"I have asked for a more technical committee," said Piccolo. "And the idea was well received and is under consideration by the chairman."
During a telephone interview last Friday, the Price mayor explained that the entire committee is sensitive to the needs of the public and wishes to remain flexible in order to support the community's wishes.
To promote communication, Piccolo asked the Sun Advocate to publish his contact information so Carbon County residents can discuss issues with him personally. Piccolo may be reached at 650-4493.
"I would hope that the community gives this committee a chance. I hope they give this body a chance to produce a positive outcome for this community," concluded Piccolo.
As the committee starts to gather information and pubinput, the rescue crews in Huntington Canyon continue to push on amid still another round of bad news, according to information provided by the Emery County Progress.
"The families were very quiet when the information was presented to them about the findings of the seventh hole," said U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration spokesperson Rich Kulczewski during an Aug. 30 press update.
"The families had held out hope that the miners might have retreated to the kitchen area after the original collapse," added the MSHA official.
Kulczewski indicated that robotic experts are currently planning to try the electronic device in drill hole four because of previous luck with the conditions in that area of the mine and because of the muddy, rock conditions encountered at hole seven.
"We are disappointed but not deterred," said Kulczewski. "There were good pictures from hole four before, it showed large boulders in view and roof timbers and rubble. We will show everyone the pictures as soon as we get them. We are exhausting every possibility, we haven't run out of possibilities yet. We will try our best to see what we can still do."
Lawyers for the families of the trapped miners spoke at the press conference and let everyone know that while the bad news continues to be difficult for the families to take they are still holding out hope.
"They are still reeling," said family attorney Colin King. "But they maintain a glimmer of hope. They want to stick it out a while longer. They are not resolved to their fate."

The Bulletin Board keeps you abreast of the latest news
around the NHL Monday-Friday.
- Washington came back from deficits of 3-0 and 4-2 to beat Anaheim
in overtime 5-4, but the real story of the game was that Capitals' Coach Bruce
Boudreau benched Alex Ovechkin with Washington seeking the tying goal at the
end of regulation. Nicklas Backstrom
ended up evening the score and scoring the eventual game-winner, but it came as
a shock that arguably the NHL's most prolific scorer didn't see the ice with
the game on the line. Boudreau instead
sent out the likes of Brooks Laich, Joel Ward and Jason Chimera and explained
the decision by simply saying that he didn't think Ovechkin was going to score,
but the Laich line had played well and was being rewarded. Normally it would make sense for a coach to
stick with guys that give his team the best chance to win and if Boudreau didn't
think Ovechkin was one of them last night, then he made the right call. But this guy is a proven 50-goal scorer, if
he isn't your best chance to score, that's a problem. Ovechkin seemed to mutter something under his
breath at Boudreau on the bench, but after the game he
said all the right things.
- Teemu Selanne's factored into all four of Anaheim's goals in
the losing effort. Selanne passed Dave
Andreychuk and now sits in 13th
place on the all-time goal-scoring list and is tied for 25th in
career points with Guy Lafleur.
- Former Ranger Chris Higgins picked up his sixth goal of the
season in Vancouver's 5-1 victory over Calgary.
- The struggling Bruins snapped Ottawa's six-game winning
streak to pick up their fourth win of the season.
- Chad LaRose and Jeff Skinner each scored twice as Carolina
glided by Tampa Bay 4-2.
- Devin Setoguchi's OT game-winner helped Minnesota send the
Red Wings to their fifth-straight loss.
- Tampa Bay rookie Brett Connolly scored his first NHL goal as
did Ottawa rookie defenseman Jared Cowen.
- Last night Detroit unveiled its latest stud Swedish
prospect, forward
Gustav Nyquist.
- Columbus has decided
to keep 2010 first-round pick Ryan Johansen and will not send him back to
the WHL.
- The New York Islanders will send 2010 first-round pick Nino Niederreiter to
the Bridgeport Sound Tigers for a two
week conditioning stint before he'll presumably return to the NHL lineup.
- Eric Staal has just five goals in 11 games and is an
atrocious minus-13. Pro Hockey Talk wonders
if he's a little distracted because of his hit on Marc Staal that has kept
Eric's younger brother out of action.
- Can you believe this?
Matt Cooke had
just four penalty minutes in October.
He also scored four goals and made four assists.
- Edmonton's Andy Sutton was suspended
five games for an illegal hit on Gabriel Landeskog.
- The folks at NHL.com have released their super-early 2012
mock drafts.
- Investigators have discovered that pilot
error caused the Lokomotiv plane crash on September 7th.
- There are three games on the schedule
tonight. Philadelphia @ Buffalo will
be on Versus at 7:30 p.m.

Recreation path moves slightly in Pioneer project
Based on public input, two changes will be made in the plans for a Pioneer Drive road project this summer, the Muskego Public Works Committee decided Monday.
An eight-foot-wide recreation path, which will be created along the stretch of Pioneer from Racine Avenue north almost to Janesville Road, will be moved to the road side, instead of the home side, of the drainage ditch. The path will be separated from the road by the shoulder and a five-foot grassy area.
At a public information meeting held earlier, residents had asked if that path could be farther from their homes, said Alderman Noah Fiedler, committee chairman. It will cost $3,300 to redesign the path.
As long as the cost is reasonable and the relocated path is still within acceptable design standards, it makes sense for the path to be moved, Fiedler said.
Residents asked for the northern portion of Pioneer will be reconstructed a little narrower than its current configuration.
New Berlin seeks policy for taxing units promoting development
New Berlin — With a large tract of farmland almost ready for development, New Berlin officials want to establish a policy about when the city might form the special taxing units that many communities use to speed development.
A draft policy to use as a guide when developers ask the city of New Berlin to form a special taxing unit to promote their developments is now in the hands of aldermen who will hash out details in weeks to come.
New Berlin has already used the tax incremental finance district to advantage to develop the Westridge/Towne Corporate Business Park. The TIF promoted growth of the tax base from the original $5 million to more than $182 million today, according to city staff.
Under the draft policy, the city would retain its power to be picky about which developments it would back, requiring extensive financial information and guarantees to protect taxpayers.

Fees shoot up for New Berlin recreation swim lessons, pool classes
New Berlin — Parents who registered their children for fall New Berlin Recreation Department swimming lessons know that the fees shot up $18 or about 39 percent.
The same goes for two adult swimming pool offerings, also of the recreation department.
The reason is that the department wants to make the swim programs pay for themselves as the other recreation programs do, said Caitlin Vosberg, recreation program supervisor.
Fees for fall swimming lessons that had been $46 and $49 are now $64 and $67. Adult swim was $51 and is now $69 with adult Aquacise that was $35 now being $53.
Despite the hikes, enrollment seems stable compared to last fall, Vosberg said. And she hasn't had any feedback from disappointed parents.» Read Full Article

New Berlin sets hearing on proposed zero-increase property tax budget
New Berlin —New building in the city such as the Walmart on Greenfield Avenue likely will keep the 2016 tax rate flat, officials said.
Although the proposed 2016 property tax levy is projected to be 1.16 percent higher than the previous year, value added this year to the city's tax base should cover the tax levy increase, officials said. Next year's proposed operating budget is $35.2 million, up 0.71 percent. The proposed levy is $24.7 million. A proposed tax rate has yet to be formulated because the budget is not yet completed.
A public hearing will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27, on the proposed New Berlin budget that is projected to be a zero-increase property tax budget for city purposes.
How individual properties will be affected by the proposed levy is complicated by last year's revaluation of all the property in the city for property tax purposes. The average citywide increase in property values was 2.5 percent. That means the owner of property that rose 2.5 percent in value would pay the same amount of property taxes, if the levy remained the same and if no property were added to the tax base. If the property value increased more than 2.5 percent, the tax bill would be higher. But if the property value increased less than 2.5 percent, taxes would be lower.

Muskego-Norway official sees benefits from evidence-based leadership
As the Muskego-Norway schools start the second of a three-year evidence-based leadership program, Superintendent Kelly Thompson reported the schools are seeing positive results already.
"We have seen an increase in employee satisfaction in all areas of our engagement survey," she said.
That is a sign that the evidence-based leadership initiative aimed at helping administrators better support employees to maximize their potential is not just on paper but is in everyday use.
Muskego-Norway has partnered with the Pewaukee and Kettle Moraine school districts to have leadership consultant the Studer Group teach district-level administrators and principals evidence-based leadership techniques.

No speakers at New Berlin schools' hearing on $5.1 million borrowing
No one spoke at a public hearing on the New Berlin School Board plan to borrow $5.1 million to provide air conditioning and to revamp the HVAC systems at Poplar Creek and Orchard Lane elementary schools.
The hearing was held Monday and the school board approved going ahead with the borrowing that night, also. However, residents still have the right to petition to stop the borrowing plan. The deadline is Oct. 14. Both the school board and the annual meeting already have approved the projects.
The borrowing would add 6 cents per $1,000 to school property taxes on a home worth $250,000, school officials estimate, and the additional expense is already within the proposed 1.2 percent property tax levy for the current 2015-16 school year.
The air conditioning projects should start in December and be finished by the start of school next fall.
The projects are estimated to save $726,000 per year in cost avoidance plus $2,242 annually in energy savings, officials estimate.
New Berlin Food Pantry to receive $10,000 from Hormel plant
New Berlin —"I'm still shaking," Jeanne Holden, founder and director of the New Berlin food pantry, said one morning last week after the pantry received a $10,000 donation.
It was from Mexican Accent, the New Berlin-based manufacturing plant owned by the Hormel Foods Corp.
"They said it would be a big donation," Holden said. "Big to me is $100 or $500, but $10,000, I didn't know what to say."
It was part of the Hormel Foods Plant community donations program, which gives employees the opportunity to assist local hunger relief organizations and strengthen the communities where they live and work.
"It is our privilege to team up with the New Berlin Food Pantry to help support the fight against hunger," said Stephen Moxley, plant manager of Mexican Accent, 16675 W. Glendale Drive.» Read Full Article

Many parks improvements make it into proposed 2016 Muskego budget
Work could start on the Aster Hills Estates Neighborhood Park and on three recreation trail segments if the Muskego Common Council approves the proposed 2016 budget.
The total proposed for Aster Hills is $200,000 that would give a start on the total $825,000 park project.
The subdivision near the new park won't be fully constructed by 2016, so the park cost is recommended to be split into phases.
Another $875,000 is proposed to create three recreation trail segments.
One would start from the Aster Hills Estates subdivision located west of North Cape Road and Durham Drive and south of Preigel Drive. The proposed trail would go south along North Cape Road to Highway 36. The segment would cost an estimated $540,000.The northern portion of the trail is being constructed this year by the Aster Hills developers.» Read Full Article

Free Simple Waveforms for Ableton
28 Nov
Some posts back, we discussed how to make a synthesizer out of any sound: found sound, field recording, Kung Fu Panda soundtrack. But what about something a little more, um, conventional? Something like a synthesizer based on a simple waveform? Well, that is totally doable, too!
What is a Simple Waveform?
Simply put (har har) a simple waveform is an audio recording of just one cycle of an oscillator; the "motor" at the heart of all analog synthesizers. These simple waveforms are audio files that are so short that they will generally just sound like a "click" or "blip" if you play them in Quicktime or iTunes. But, when you repeat them over and over, they will form a tone. This tone can then form the basis of a synthesizer much like the ones that we made out of a field recording of a stream.
Luckily, instead of pressing play a 1000 times a minute to create the tone, you can set simpler to repeat the waveform as long as a key is depressed.
The easiest way is to load up a simple waveform in Simpler, and make sure that the "Loop" button is depressed. This should get you started, but here is a great tutorial about how to produce a basic synthesizer out of a simple waveform and a Simpler.
And the best part is, since these waveforms are so small, you can keep a bajillion (don't quote me) of them on your hard drive and not run out of space. Not too shabby, huh?
Where Do I Get These Simple Waveforms?
Now, that's all well and good, but where do you get these simple waveforms? Ableton comes with some, but eventually you might tire of these and want to expand your collection. The good news is that a chap who goes by the name of Adventure Kid made this killer simple waveform collection some time ago and it is still my go-to. Not only does it have the standard waveforms, like square waves, sine waves, etc., it also has waveforms sampled from all kinds of sources like oboes, theremins and all kinds of stuff. I've reupped the collection below. This is mandatory downloading for anyone who wants to take their synthesis in Ableton to the next level.
Download the Simple Waveform Collection (7MB)
Are there are any other sound packs lying around the internet that we should know about? Let me know in the comments and I'll put 'em in the Toolbox section!

Men's Soccer Upended by Villanova 1-0 in Overtime
The Creighton (6-5-2, 2-2-1 BIG EAST) attempted 20 shots to 13 for the visitor and led in corner kicks 9-5 but could not break its three-match scoreless streak. Villanova (7-6-1, 2-3-0 BIG EAST) scored in the final minute of the first overtime to claim the win and record the first goal by a conference opponent inside Morrison Stadium since Bradley on Nov. 6, 2010.
Neither team could muster a score in the regulation. The Wildcats' Dylan Renna scored the game winner unassisted at 99:28 of overtime.
CU's loss marks the first three-match losing streak under head coach Elmar Bolowich and the first three-game slide by the Bluejays since September 2001.
CU junior goalkeeper Alex Bolowich made a pair of saves on the evening but dropped to 5-4-1 on the season with the loss. Villanova's Andrew Weakley moved to 6-6-1 on the year with the win.
Creighton takes a two-match conference road trip next week with contests at No. 18 Butler on Wednesday and at Seton Hall on Oct. 26.

Donations to Carbon Food Bank decline 'significantly' this year
When one peers inside the Carbon County Food Bank warehouse, it appears all is well. Shelves are full with canned goods, dry goods and in the front, even freshly baked donuts and bread are standing on the shelves. But it is just the beginning of the season of extended need, and come Nov. 1 those shelves could become bare if some things don't change.
"The Boy Scouts brought us 17,000 lbs. of food during their drive recently, but that won't last us very long," said Collette Freestone, the program manager for the food bank as she stood in front of the now full shelves. "Things are not what they seem or as they appear here today."
The problem for the local food bank, and for those around the country, is the same: the economy. Donations are down and food bank utilization is up. More people need their help every day as the economy at its best is growing slowly and at worst is slipping back into a double dip recession.
"One of our major problems is that the Utah Food Bank, which ships us a lot for base support just doesn't have the food to send either," Freestone states. "What they do send us is not anything like what it used to be."
The reports from around the state starting this past summer, have been bad. The Utah Food Bank actually issued a letter that was read to churches around the Wasatch Front asking for help, because their supplies were down 30 percent and few people were donating. In Ogden the Standard Examiner reported in August that the food baskets passed out were only a third full, whereas they used to be filled to the top
It is a national tragedy in the making. According to Freestone's staff, last month the food bank only brought in half as much food as they had to send out to people in need.
"Right now we are serving everyone who needs help, but we may need to resort to only supplying the three target groups that we are required to supply," stated Freestone. Those groups include people with kids under 6 years old, those over 60 and those with documented disabilities.
In the next month the busiest time of year at the food bank begins; the holidays. Freestone worries that "Happy Holidays" may only be a saying around the food bank this year. The shelves will really start to empty around the first part of November.
"We recently did a Walmart food drive and we only got about $200 in donations and a few hundred pounds of food," she said.
She also stated a lot of the food they get donated isn't always nutritious, so that can be a problem. However, this time of year a lot of people donate fresh vegetables and fruit from their gardens.
"That's really great," she said.
For those in the community that want to help, food donations can be taken to the food bank at 375 South Carbon Avenue in Price. The food bank also takes cash donations. For more information call 435 637-5444.

Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtisby Timothy Egan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
How a lone mans epic obsession led to one of Americas greatest cultural treasures: Prizewinning writer Timothy Egan tells the riveting, cinematic story behind the most famous photographs in Native American history — and the driven, brilliant man who made them.
Edward Curtis was charismatic, handsome, a passionate mountaineer, and a famous photographer, the Annie Leibovitz of his time. He moved in rarefied circles, a friend to presidents, vaudeville stars, leading thinkers. And he was thirty-two years old in 1900 when he gave it all up to pursue his Great Idea: to capture on film the continents original inhabitants before the old ways disappeared.
An Indiana Jones with a camera, Curtis spent the next three decades traveling from the Havasupai at the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the Acoma on a high mesa in New Mexico to the Salish in the rugged Northwest rain forest, documenting the stories and rituals of more than eighty tribes. It took tremendous perseverance — ten years alone to persuade the Hopi to allow him into their Snake Dance ceremony. And the undertaking changed him profoundly, from detached observer to outraged advocate. Eventually Curtis took more than 40,000 photographs, preserved 10,000 audio recordings, and is credited with making the first narrative documentary film. In the process, the charming rogue with the grade school education created the most definitive archive of the American Indian.
His most powerful backer was Theodore Roosevelt, and his patron was J. P. Morgan. Despite the friends in high places, he was always broke and often disparaged as an upstart in pursuit of an impossible dream. He completed his masterwork in 1930, when he published the last of the twenty volumes. A nation in the grips of the Depression ignored it. But today rare Curtis photogravures bring high prices at auction, and he is hailed as a visionary. In the end he fulfilled his promise: He made the Indians live forever.
"Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Egan (The Worst Hard Time) turns his attention to one of Seattle's most remarkable — yet all but forgotten — residents. In the late 19th century, Edward Curtis was the era's reigning portrait photographer, so well respected that President Theodore Roosevelt chose him to photograph his daughter's wedding. Yet in 1900, at the height of his fame, Curtis gave it up to pursue what would become his life's work — 'a plan to photograph all the intact Native American tribes left in North America' before their ways of life disappeared. This idea received the backing of J.P. Morgan and culminated in a critically acclaimed 20-volume set, The North American Indian, which took Curtis 30 years to complete and left him divorced and destitute. Unfailingly sympathetic to his subject, Egan shadows Curtis as he travels from Roosevelt's summer home at Sagamore Hill to the mesas and canyons of the Southwest tribes and to the rain forests of the Coastal Indians and the isolated tundra on Nunivak Island. Egan portrays the dwindling tribes, their sacred rites (such as the Hopi snake dance), customs, and daily lives, and captures a larger-than-life cast. With a reporter's eye for detail, Egan delivers a gracefully written biography and adventure story. Agent: Carol Mann, Carol Mann Agency." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

"In this hauntingly beautiful book, Egan brings Curtis to life as vividly and with as much depth, heart and understanding as Curtis himself put into his timeless portraits. This is a story for the ages." Candice Millard, author of The River of Doubt and Destiny of the Republic
"Short Nights is not only the marvelous and rollicking account of life of one of America's extraordinary photographers. It is also a book about the extreme personal cost of outsized ambition. Edward Curtis undertook one of the most epic cultural projects in American history — photographing and documenting the vanishing ways of life of some eighty American Indian tribes. It cost him almost everything he once was. And still he persisted, turning out some of the greatest photographic and ethnological work ever done. Egan has found yet another great subject, and has crafted yet another great narrative around it." S.C. Gwynne, author of Empire of the Summer Moon
"Edward Curtis's hauntingly beautiful photographs have graced gallery walls and coffee tables for generations
"Ace popular historian Egan makes Curtis' story frequently suspenseful, always gripping, and monumentally heroic." Booklist, starred review
"[Short Nights] mesmerizes — it's instructive, entertaining and a joy to read....When it comes to superlative historical writing, this is as good as it gets....Dazzling." Shelf Awareness
"A vivid exploration of one man's lifelong obsession with an idea....Egan's spirited biography might just bring [Curtis] the recognition that eluded him in life." Washington Post
"A darn good yarn. Egan is a muscular storyteller and his book is a rollicking page-turner with a colorfully drawn hero." San Francisco Chronicle
"An astonishing story, worth knowing and well told." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Egan fills his chronicle with bright turns of phrase and radiant descriptions, making both places and people come alive....A sweeping tale about two vanishing ways of life." Wall Street Journal
"Egan writes this fascinating biography with a compelling and occasionally creative narrative that challenges the age-old ratio of a picture's worth to a thousand words. Egan somehow makes both more valuable." USA Today
"[Egan] artfully frames a stunning portrait of Edward Curtis that captures every patina of his glory, brilliance, and pathos. [Egan] writes with passion and grace." Christian Science Monitor
"The author gracefully transforms the past into vivid scenes that employ all five senses." Star Tribune

The story of Edward Curtis, a charming rogue with a grade school education who became the Annie Leibovitz of his time, and the creation of his masterwork, a photographic record of the entire North American Indian nation — a project that cost him his celebrity, his prosperity, and ultimately his life, but transformed Native history for the modern era when it was rediscovered in a Boston basement in the 1970s.
How a lone mans epic obsession led to one of Americas greatest cultural treasures: Prize-winning writer Timothy Egan tells the riveting, cinematic story behind the most famous photographs in Native American history — and the driven, brilliant man who made them.
Edward Curtis was dashing, charismatic, a passionate mountaineer, a famous photographer — the Annie Leibovitz of his time. And he was thirty-two years old in 1900 when he gave it all up to pursue his great idea: He would try to capture on film the Native American nation before it disappeared. At once an incredible adventure narrative and a penetrating biographical portrait, Egans book tells the remarkable untold story behind Curtis's iconic photographs, following him throughout Indian country from desert to rainforest as he struggled to document the stories and rituals of more than eighty tribes. Even with the backing of Theodore Roosevelt and J.P. Morgan, it took tremendous perseverance — six years alone to convince the Hopi to allow him into their Snake Dance ceremony. The undertaking changed him profoundly, from detached observer to outraged advocate. He would die penniless and unknown in Hollywood just a few years after publishing the last of his twenty volumes. But the charming rogue with the grade-school education had fulfilled his promise — his great adventure succeeded in creating one of America's most stunning cultural achievements.

The day of Ryan Gosling's birth really is a day of celebration for us all.
The Golden Globe and Oscar nominee turns 32 on Monday, and we can think of no better way to mark the occasion than by enjoying 100 photos of the hunky Canadian.
Ryan's been a Hollywood regular since first appearing on "The All New Mickey Mouse Club" back in 1993 -- with some people named Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, if you've heard of them.
Since then, we've watched him grow up from cute kid to talented actor and super-stud, making us all swoon in three hit films last year -- "The Ides of March," "Drive" and the romantic comedy "Crazy, Stupid, Love" (that lucky Emma Stone!).
Click "Launch Gallery" above to celebrate Ryan's birth by enjoying 100 glorious pics of him through the years. Happy Birthday (and profuse thank yous to the Gosling parents)!

ON THE HORIZON – Ryan Strome, F, Niagara (OHL)
Before being named head coach and general manager of the Niagara Ice Dogs prior to the 2010-11 Ontario Hockey League season, Marty Williamson led the Barrie Colts to 239 regular season victories and two Central Division titles in his six seasons in a similar role at the helm of its division foe.
Yet, despite amassing a league-best 116 points in leading the Colts to the 2009-10 OHL Championship finals against Western Conference foe Windsor, Williamson clearly recalled an in-house struggle he would have to face – as the team's general manager – midway through that campaign.
"We knew that we had the type of team to contend for an OHL championship," recollected Williamson. "But in order to take that next step, we were looking to add a top- pairing defenseman.
"When (current St. Louis Blues defenseman and 2008 fourth overall NHL draft entry selection) Alex Pieterangelo became available, we knew that they (Niagara) would be asking for a player that all the other teams in the OHL had wanted in a trade – Ryan Strome. We hesitated, but thought it was a deal that we had to make."
Only 16 years of age at the time of the trade, Strome was playing alongside 18, 19 and even 20-year-olds in Barrie. Nonetheless, Williamson saw a limitless potential in his Mississauga, Ontario, Canada center iceman.
"Ryan always had great vision," said Williamson. "He owned the ice playing in Midget, and we thought it would only take time for him to do it here (in the OHL)."
Strome, who collected 104 points – 41 goals and 63 assists – as a 15-year old for the Toronto Marlboros in Midget Hockey, scored five goals and assisted on nine others in 34 games in Barrie. After the trade, he would pot three goals and dish out 10 assists in 27 games for Niagara.
"I thought the trade to Niagara really allowed me to step into my own," said Strome. "I was given an opportunity to get power play minutes. And being that Niagara was in a rebuild, I was playing on the team's top two lines."
Despite finishing 56 points behind his former Central Division foe, Strome's new squad snuck into the 2009-10 OHL post-season before bowing out to the Ottawa 67's in the conference quarterfinals in five games.
Strome would generate three assists in the five-game setback. Nevertheless, the short time in Niagara would not only prove to be a springboard to the team's rise up the OHL rankings, but catapult the then six-foot, 177-pound Strome to a household name among NHL scouting directors just a few short months later.
Ironically, Williamson would come along for the ride.
"When I had an opportunity to coach Ryan again, I thought he would be a mid-to-late first round NHL pick with the potential to score 70-to-80 points," said Williamson. "His progress was definitely sped up by a year."
As the 2010-11 season commenced, Strome centered Williamson's top line and took the OHL by storm. He racked up a team-high 106 points – 33 goals and 73 assists – in 65 games. He finished third overall in league scoring, behind Ottawa 67 center Tyler Toffoli and Kitchener Ranger Jason Akeson, who both finished with 108 points.
The Ice Dogs would finish 36 points ahead of last season's standings – 96 vs. 60 – while advancing to the Eastern Conference finals before falling to current Islander prospect Casey Cizikas and the Mississauga Majors in five games.
At season's end, the International Scouting Service also touted Strome as its ninth best overall prospect heading into this past June's NHL Entry Draft in Minnesota.
Garth Snow and the Islanders organization would not wait that long, grabbing the now 6-foot-1, 183-pound Strome with the draft's fifth overall selection.
"I was excited to be drafted by the Islander organization," said Strome, who spent the past few off-seasons in his native Mississauga weight training with current Islander forwards John Tavares and Matt Moulson. "Both John and Matt speak highly of the organization. They are both high-end character guys."
After the selection, Strome spent the summer in Uniondale participating in the Islanders Blue-White Scrimmage, showcasing his talents in front of a hungry Islander fan base.
"The Islander fan base was very nice and very welcoming," said Strome. "I wanted to show them that I could be a very creative player with the puck, with the vision to help others."
Strome also participated in the Islanders training camp, with hopes of earning an NHL roster spot by mid-Fall. While he was able to earn an opening day roster spot due to a groin injury suffered by 2010 first round pick Nino Niederreiter, Strome would not dress and was quickly summoned back to Niagara for his third OHL season.
"While I was hoping to make the team, I know that I must get physically bigger to be a more effective player," said Strome. "I want to be a more well-rounded hockey player."
Upon his return to Niagara, Strome has continued to light the lamp on a regular basis. In his first 24 games with the Ice Dogs, Strome has scored 16 goals and dished off 17 assists. The Ice Dogs sit tied for second with the Colts in the Central Division with 41 points, three points behind division leader Brampton.
According to Williamson, Strome's all-around game has also vastly improved.
"While Ryan doesn't have as many points as last year, he is concentrating more on the little things," said Williamson. "He has improved his face-offs and working on shortening his shifts."
Over the past week, Strome earned a coveted slot for Team Canada in the upcoming World Junior Championships. The tournament is slated to begin on December 26 in both Calgary and Edmonton, with the gold medal game scheduled for January 5, 2012 in Calgary.
"To be a top-6 player for the World Junior Team will be very good for Ryan's development," said Williamson.
Yet, Strome's vision is clearly set for a return visit to Long Island.
"Having played with the guys during the summer, I know that I want to get there as soon as I can," said Strome, who eyes Detroit Red Wing center Pavel Datsyuk as the "two-way player" he hopes to emulate on the NHL level.
Off the ice, Strome enjoys napping and playing Xbox, but he still is a self-admitted hockey rat. His passion was accentuated, during an off-ice talk with Tavares.
"John gave me a lot of tips," said Strome. "He told me how important it is to be professional, both on and off the ice.
"He and I are very similar. We both take hockey very seriously."
Compared to Edmonton Oiler second-year forward Jordan Eberle by Williamson, due to his "flash and dash" style of play, Strome's NHL potential is strictly up to him.
"Ryan is a fun, loving guy with a great personality," said Williamson. "He is a great teammate, and should be a fixture in the Islanders lineup for years to come."
Whether he centers the team's second line or becomes a fixture on the team's top line with his workout buddies, Strome should be in the Islanders lineup come October.
No pressure for an 18-year-old.
