Style-wise, most major cities are melting pots. But when it comes to menswear, Philadelphia's men's fashion shops stand out from all of the rest.
At the one end of the spectrum are long-established — even historic — men's clothiers like Boyd's in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Rittenhouse. At the other resides youthful, independent, urban shops like Sugarcube, Armour and Totem, which all skew closer to vintage street style and local independent brands. Sure, there's a little in-between, but even Philly's menswear middle ground is made up of mix: sporty yet sophisticated, tailored yet tattooed.
Whether you're looking to get dapper in Rittenhouse, or going for a grittier, retro-style inspired look on South Street — Philadelphia's got you covered.
Read on for our list of Philadelphia's top menswear shops.
1822 Chestnut Street — Seun Olubodun launched a line of Brit-inspired, bulldog-emblazoned T-shirts back in 2009. Today, his anti-ironic approach to modern preppy dressing also includes baseball caps, bulldog-motif ties and bow ties, dog-wear and needlepoint accessories, all sold from a rustically lounge-like, 2,600-square-foot walk-up, where the focus is predominantly on the guys, and the stock also includes non-D&W sunglasses, hats and phone cases. MORE INFO
1839 Chestnut Street — Today at his studio in Rittenhouse (with satellites in New York and Atlanta), the tattooed attorney Craig Arthur von Schroeder and team measure clients for affordable-yet-investment-worthy, bespoke-yet-modern suiting and topcoats made from lightweight summer wools, robust Harris tweeds, Loro Piana milled cashmere, Swiss tech fabric and limited-edition finds. Commonwealth Proper also offers a variety of fabric choices for custom dress shirts and a retail line of ready-to-wear ties, pocket squares, brass collar stays and a rough-and-tumble, all-seasons, made-in-Philly blazer. MORE INFO
1201 Chestnut Street — Founded more than a century ago as a sporting goods store, this indie operation turned into an international powerhouse after its former owner convinced the estates of Babe Ruth and his contemporaries to allow reproduction and sale of their uniform jerseys. Soon, MTV and the hip-hop generation caught on, and the shop's pro baseball, basketball, football and ice hockey shirts were showing up in populst music videos and song lyrics. Today, having a jersey, snapback cap or warm-up jacket re-issued here is a sign of athletic dominance. In 2007, the company became a very cool subsidiary of Adidas. The flagship store still calls Philly home. MORE INFO
1509 Walnut Street — To say that Ubiq stocks new and vintage sneaks (Nike, Vans, Reebok, Converse, Adidas, Asics), along with endless T-shirts and hoodies, is to vastly undersell this streetwear merchant. Ubiq's rambling old brownstone displays old-fashioned Daniel Wellington watches, sturdy Stance socks and preppy Head Porter Plus trousers and shirts that are displayed like wearable, collectable, limited-edition, often vintage-inspired works of art. Among them: the store's own line of apparel and kicks.
704 South 4th Street — The fashion project of corporate world escapee David Grimes sophisticatedly peddles its independent-minded sartorial choices along Fabric Row. Among the rare and wonderful finds here are heritage pieces from Kennington, Goorin Bros. and Fine & Dandy; international representation in Pullin (France) and Maxwell Designs (Ghana); and work by emerging designers Arthinic and Philly's own Terese Sydonna and Danny Fox. MORE INFO
1600 East Passyunk Avenue — Ben Sherman, Fred Perry, Scotch & Soda and Report Collection are among the fast-moving brands at this youthful retail closet, one of the anchors of South Philly's trendy East Passyunk neighborhood. Owner Tom Longo stocks everything from brightly striped business socks to soft-washed Phillies T-shirts, bright bathing trunks to knitted neon beer cozies. MORE INFO
535 South Street — Classic, rustic, American. That's Totem Brand in a few words. The store carries men's clothing—Wolverine, Danner, Raleigh Denim, Rogue Territory, Billy Kirk, Taylor Stitch, 3Sixteen, Patagonia and Filson—plus GoPros, candles, soaps and incense that appeal to the outdoorsman in everyone. The USA-made or -manufactured promise means people feel good about their purchases. MORE INFO
1818 Chestnut Street — For the greater part of 75 years, the polished tiers of this Rittenhouse family business catered only to men, with a battalion of salesmen and dozens of tailors known for their take-charge, can-do philosophy. Today, there's an equally polished women's department, but men still avail themselves of power suits, shoes and refined sportswear from vaunted labels such as Trussini, Brioni, Armani Collezioni, Canali, Etro, Hickey Freeman, Paul Smith and Paul Smith. MORE INFO
1510 Sansom Street — Distinctive custom shirting—with tall, strong collars and French cuffs—is the hallmark of Charlie Morrotta's men's shop, a Philadelphia staple since 1983. Morrotta has each shirt made in one of two small factories (there's one in Naples, Italy and another in the U.S.)—typically in less than three weeks. In-house tailors gladly and expertly perform alterations and adjustments on pieces purchased elsewhere and have become known for their same-day turnaround. MORE INFO
116 N 3rd Street — Brought to Philly by the (local) distillers of Root, Snap and other vintage-inspired spirits, this rustic boutique is all about giving props to creators of things and revivers of lost inventions, which makes for a lush, insightful and totally hip shopping experience. Founding owner Steve Grasse stocked the space with locally made art and furnishings, plus heartily constructed, casually on-point clothing for men and women. MORE INFO
124 N 3rd Street — This marvelously designed Old City repository of modern-yet-timeless men's and women's fashion is known for introducing about-to-hit designers. Current roster standouts include casual-chic separates from Rag & Bone and Portland's Bridge & Burn, plus hard-wearing-yet-fashion-forward, small-batch, made-in-the-U.S.A. standbys from Asbury Park Clothing Co., Big Star, Feltraiger, Peters Mountain Works and Williamsburg Garment Company—all providing an all-American vibe with a subtly artsy edge. In short: It's the perfect place for a guy to dress himself without the slightest risk of missing the mark. MORE INFO

House balls have played a significant role in the African American and Latino LGBTQ communities for decades. Now, the often-underground house ball culture takes the spotlight at the The African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) this summer — just in time to help celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the LGBT Civil Rights Movement in Philadelphia this July.
On view now through August 16, Legendary: Inside the House Ballroom Scene displays the work of photographer Gerard H. Gaskin, who has photographed the intimate world of house balls for more than 20 years.
Showcasing photographs from parties in five cities — with a particular focus on Philadelphia — the collection draws mostly from Gaskin's book Legendary to immerse the viewer in the expressive grandeur of the balls.
Significant in allowing a marginalized group creativity and freedom of self expression, the house ball scene has a long tradition of challenging norms and Gaskin's work captures a unique perspective.
A well-known photographer, Gaskin has shown throughout the United States and abroad, and his work is also a part of permanent collections in The Museum of the City of New York, The Philadelphia Museum of Art among others.
Throughout the exhibition at the AAMP — the first institution funded and built by a major municipality to preserve and exhibit the heritage of African Americans — will offer complementary programming including screenings of The New Black, a documentary exploring attitudes about same-sex marriage and civil rights within the African American community and an insiders vogue demonstration.

Here's your Harry Potter quote of the day:
"So top grade's O for 'Outstanding,'" she [Hermione] was saying, "and then there's A-"
"No, E," George corrected her, "E for 'Exceeds Expectations.' And I've always thought Fred and I should've got E in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams."

Doris' Life
Lancaster County Recycling
Lancaster County Drop-off Locations
United States and Pennsylvania Recycling Facts
History of Recycling in the United States
What You Can Do
Organic Standards.
When Doris moved from Lancaster County to New Jersey, her family had little knowledge of recycling since Lancaster County did not collect recycling products in addition to the trash pickup. In New Jersey, the township refused to pick up their trash because it had recyclables in it. After seeing this, they quickly adjusted to the process of recycling. Doris' family eventually moved to Georgia and discovered that their township recycled everything. Her family separated everything on their own and took it to places that would recycle it. When her family moved back to Lancaster County, it will still far behind in the recycling process. At the time, you could take recycling to certain places, but only two times per month. Now, Doris collects everything that can be recycled that the township does not collect and takes it to Goods Disposal Service. Doris not only lives a green life, but she has instilled these same principles into her children as well.
Ways Doris Lives Sustainable
o Uses compact fluorescent bulbs, and replaces all regular bulbs with fluorescent bulbs when they burn out
o Energy efficient appliances: Refrigerator and Dishwashers
o Drives a Toyota Scion XA, receives up to 30 miles per gallon - Uses this for errands and some long distance driving
o Has leaves picked up by the township to get composted instead of going to a landfill
o Uses: biodegradable cleaning products, biodegradable cooking products, stainless steel water bottles, reusable shopping bags
o Recycles: glass, metal and number one plastic
o Additional recycling that does not get picked up by the township: newspaper, magazines, cardboard, hazardous materials (paint, batteries, medication)
-Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
• Pays for itself in roughly 6 months and saves around 30 dollars over the course of its lifetime.
• Uses about 75% less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than a regular light bulb does.
- Energy Efficient Appliances
• Can save your household up to $400 a year.
• Using the appliance more efficiently can extend the life on the actual appliance.
-Leaf Pick-Up
• If your townships offers it, rake leaves to the curb and they will get composted instead of going to a landfill.
- Reusable Water Bottles
• Use reusable water bottles instead of plastic water bottles and continue to re-fill with your drinks instead of constantly using plastic water bottles.
- Biodegradable Cleaning and Cooking Products
• Visit the EPAs website to find out what products are considered green cleaners.
-Reusable Shopping Bags
• Cut down on the amount of trash that comes from plastic and paper grocery bags.
Lancaster County Recycling
Do you throw away trash that could be recycled? Are you not sure what types of things can actually get recycled? Here you'll find a list of the most common everyday items that can easily be recycled. Along with the list of common recyclables, you will also find items that should not be recycled as well as how to recycle certain products. Once a product is recycled, you will also see what type of products are produced from the recycled material!
**In 2008, Lancaster County recycled 184,301 tons worth of waste
Common Things Recycled
o Glass- green, brown and clear beverage and food glasses - All glass should be rinsed and lids thrown in the trash.
o DO NOT recycle light bulbs, window glass or drinking glasses.
o Metal- food and beverage cans made from aluminum & tin - All metals should be rinsed.
o DO NOT crush anything. Foil and pie pans should not be recycled.
o Plastic - #1 plastic and #2 plastic - Lids should be thrown in the trash.
o DO NOT recycle yogurt or plastic toys.
o Newspaper - Newspaper and everything contained within it - Stack on top of other recyclables.
o DO NOT put out in the rain or in plastic bags.
o Hazardous Waste From Your House - Thermometers, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, etc.
o Electronic Recycling - Cell phones, televisions, computers - Having these products in landfills can harm our environment.
What you may not have known…
The following items listed are things that you can recycle, but may not have known.
o Ammunition
o Antifreeze
o Fire Extinguishers
o Lawn Mowers
o Mobile Homes
o Power Tools
The following items listed are things that you should NOT recycle
o Cookware
o Broken drinking glass
o Pottery
o Window Glass
o Cereal and cardboard boxes
o Wire hangers
o Yogurt Containers
o Whipped cream containers, deli, or margarine containers
o Medication Bottles
o Motor Oil Containers
Most of the things we recycle get recycled into what they previously were, but not all of the things we recycle get made into what we think they do. Below are some examples of the things we recycle and what they get made into. Glass beverage containers can always be recycled into other glass beverage containers, but they also are used for roads, marbles, tiles and surfboards. Plastic soda bottles have enough fiber in them for one extra large t-shirt, a square foot of carpet and enough fiber to fill a ski jacket! All steel and aluminum cans can be recycled into other steel and aluminum products but it is not their only use. By recycling these products, it uses 75 percent less energy than constructed other products made of non-recycled materials. Some things that can be made from recycled steel and aluminum are cars, bikes, any type of appliance and cookware.

History of Recycling in the United States
When did recycling really become an issue in the United States? Click here to find out why recycling became an important factor in the American lifestyle and information on recycling today. Around the time of World War II, Americans began recycling and started to practice conservation as a way of helping national security. After the war ended in the 1950s, more and more Americans became aware of the environment and the amount of waste they produced. Because of the obviousness of the amount of waste that was produced, more Americans became committed to the environment. Many children born after the 1980s grew up the "recycle, reduce, reuse" symbol and worked to incorporate this idea into their lives. Although some people claim that recycling the does benefit the environment, studies show that a change in human behavior did actually force humans to reevaluate their ways and question how they lived their lives.
After World War II ended, America was driven with the idea of "newness", but concerns for the environment is what really forced Americans to restrain their waste, re-use what they had and live within certain limits. Litter and crowded landfills proved to communities that they needed to maintain their waste. Not only did re-using products help the environment, but it gave the United States an opportunity to profit off of recycled products and increase development. All throughout the country, non-profit recycling centers began to open and eventually municipal recycling followed. Now, most communities throughout the country have these programs and have citizens separate recyclables from their trash before it is collected. Some communities also force residents to pay for the amount of trash they put out.
Most Common Recycled Household Items:
o Paper and cardboard
o Metal
o Glass
o Plastic containers
o Yard waste
Now, all plastic is given a number according to the type of plastic. Most of this plastic comes in the form of soft drink bottles, laundry detergent bottles, plastic bags, some yogurt containers and lids. All individual numbers refer to one type of plastic except for number seven plastic which is not one type of single plastic material. In 2005, the American Chemistry Council stated that 922 million pounds of plastic bottles (milk bottles and laundry detergent bottles) were recycled.

Earth Day
Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22. Since April 22 normally falls on a weekday, it is celebrated during the weekends before or after the 22nd. Earth Day was originally created by a United States Senator named Gaylor Nelson. This day was created because citizens were upset over the damage caused to the environment by humans. In 1990, Earth Day was celebrated internationally and over 200 million people in 141 different countries participated in the event. There are many ways you can celebrate Earth Day, and you can start by asking your community what type of events or activities they have planned for that day. If your community has no events planned, volunteer to organize an event for the community. Ever since the first Earth Day celebration, many positive Acts have been influenced. The Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act have all been created because of the influence of the first celebrated Earth Day.
The following list shows you ways in which you can reduce your impact on the environment:
o Carpool to work with coworkers or those who work around you.
o Use alternate modes of transportation when going on short trips.
o Ride your bike
o Walk
o Use public transportation
o Turn off all of your lights and appliances when you are not using them
o Compost your yard waste and make soil out of yard debris
o Use community recycling programs
A Guide to Christmas Tree Recycling

2. Take your Christmas tree to a drop off recycling center. Lancaster County drop off locations are listed at the end of this.
3. If you have a compost container in your yard, cut down the tree and put it in the container.

Organic Standards
Listed below are a few summary points from the National Organic Program standards for crops, livestock and handling processes.
Crop Standards
In order for crops to be considered organic there must be no prohibited substances applied to the land for at least three years before the organic crop has been harvested. No use of genetic engineering is allowed. Soil fertility will be managed by rotating crops, cultivation practices, and cover crops. These will be supplemented with animal and crop wastes and other allowed synthetic materials. Organic seeds are preferred, but a non-organic see will be allowed under certain conditions. Any form of crop pests or weeds will be controlled through physical, mechanical and biological controls. If these do not work, a synthetic substance contained on the National List can be used.
Livestock standards
Livestock Standards apply to the animals that are used for meat, milk eggs and other products that come from them that are organically produced. In order for livestock to be considered organic, animals used must be raised under "organic management" from the last third of gestation or at the latest, the second day of life for any poultry product. Livestock must be fed with 100 percent organic products. If an organic livestock producer wants to convert an entire dairy herd, they need to have 80 percent of their food be organic for nine months, then 100 percent organic for the next three months. Any animal that is raised organically is not allowed to receive any type of hormones to increase growth or be given an antibiotic no matter the reason. Other methods will be used in order to keep these organic animals healthy. Treatment cannot be withheld from sick or injured animals and these animals receive any medicine that is prohibited, the animal may not be considered organic. Every animal that is raised organically must be allowed outdoors. They may only be kept inside due to health or safety reasons, or to protect the soil or water.
Handling standards
Below is a list of standards that must be followed when producing an organic product.
According to the handling standard, "all non-agricultural ingredients, whether synthetic or non-synthetic, must be included on the National List of Allowed Synthetic and Prohibited Non-Synthetic Substances" Anyone handling organic products must not mix organic and non-organic products together in order to prevent the organic product from coming in contact with a prohibited substance. Any product that has an organic label must have all ingredients that are organically produced, unless a certain ingredient is not available in an organic form.

But she explained the "negative" connotations of the image on her forearm in terms of a certain flame-haired, troublemaking actress, saying that Monroe "was sort of like Lindsay [Lohan]. She was an actress who wasn't reliable, who almost wasn't insurable … She had all the potential in the world, and it was squandered. I'm not interested in following in those footsteps."
After the article's release, Fox clarified the comments, calling "both women … gifted actress," and explaining that, "I attempted to draw parallels between Lindsay and Marilyn in order to illustrate my point that while Marilyn may be an icon now, sadly she was not respected and taken seriously while she was still living." Fox added that if there was a "miscommunication," it was her own fault. (WENN)

Millennials and Money: 3 Tips for Acing Real-World Finances
By: Becky Walen, Senior Wealth Management Advisor, Bell State Bank & Trust
Congratulations! You are now a college graduate. Are you nervous? Excited? Scared? You have probably just answered yes to all three questions, and that's OK. You're most likely looking to start a career, earn your first significant paycheck, find a new place to live, and more.
But, you might also be weighed down with a lot of heavy financial issues: paying down student loan debt, saving up money to rent or buy a place to live, figuring out how to manage your own finances, and determining how to do all of this while starting to set aside money for retirement.
Here are three tips to financial success that will make it all simpler.
1. Your Financial Priorities
You have a lot going on right now. The best thing to do is take a deep breath, relax, and plan. Start by determining your financial priorities. Focus on the following:
• Build an emergency savings fund of three to six months living expenses.
• Pay down your highest-interest rate debt.
• Repay your student loans.
• Balance debt repayment with saving for retirement.
2. Save What You Can for Retirement and Future Needs
If You Already Have a Job:
If you're earning an income from full-time work, it's time to start contributing to your retirement accounts and investing some of your savings. It's never too early to start, because time is your biggest advantage as an investor.
The earlier you begin, the more your nest egg will eventually be worth. Even if it's just $50 or $100 per month right now, contribute what you can to your retirement and emergency savings accounts to help you cover future needs and expenses.
Many companies offer a 401(k) plan where they will match a percentage of funds being contributed into your 401(k) account. If a company is willing to match 5% of funds, you should contribute at least 5% into the account. It is wise to take advantage of this "free money" opportunity. For example, if you make $35,000 per year and save 5%, you'll contribute $1,750 to your 401(k). If your employer matches that 5%, you'll have $3,500.
If You Are on the Job Hunt:
It may seem early to talk about retirement, but it's not. The sooner you start saving, the better. As long as you have some earned income, you can set up an individual retirement account (IRA) before landing a job that offers a 401(k) plan. IRAs help you plan for a secure stream of retirement income.
3. Live Smartly to Aggressively Pay Down Debt
Make sure your spending is in line with your priorities and your values. You work hard for your money, so be mindful of what you spend it on.
Once you've realized you don't have to spend every cent you make, you should have money to allocate toward your debt. The sooner these big debts are gone, the sooner you'll be more financially stable and secure. The longer you hang on to debt, the longer you'll be unable to advance other financial goals and the more money you'll be paying in interest.

Bell State Bank & Trust's wealth management division is here to help you. When you place your trust in us, you draw on collective decades of experience in managing investments and helping you plan for a secure future and retirement income.

Nov. 4, 2008
Complete Release in PDF Format
The Eastern Washington University volleyball team wraps up its 2008 home schedule this weekend with a Thursday match (Nov. 6) versus Northern Arizona and a Saturday Senior Night contest (Nov. 8) against first-place Northern Colorado. Both matches begin at 7 p.m.
The Eagles (13-10, 8-4 Big Sky Conference), who have won 7-of-8 contests, split on the road over the weekend. Eastern Washington lost to Montana 25-21, 25-23, 25-22 on Thursday (Oct. 30) before rallying for a 19-25, 25-19, 25-18, 25-9 victory over Montana State two days later.
"We started out poorly at Montana, and they gained a lot of confidence throughout the match," head coach Miles Kydd said. "Then the match against Montana State started out the same way, but we grabbed an early lead in the second set and relaxed and, as the night went on, asserted ourselves."
Northern Arizona had an impressive 8-1 run through the non-conference portion of the schedule, but has had a little rougher go of it during Big Sky play. The Lumberjacks are currently 13-7, 5-6 in Big Sky play and tied for sixth place, a precarious spot to be in as the top six teams advance to the Big Sky Championship.
Northern Colorado has had a remarkable season so far, as the Bears sit atop the Big Sky standings with a 9-2 league record. UNC, who is 15-5 overall, finished in fifth place its first two years in the league. The team enters its Thursday match at Portland State riding a five-match winning streak.
"Northern Colorado is obviously in first place and, if we want any chance to finish in the top two (and secure a bye into the Big Sky semifinals), we need to close out our home season with two more wins," Kydd said. "Northern Arizona started out really well this season and is still right there, but they have not been as successful lately."
Saturday's match with Northern Colorado will be the final one at home for Eastern's two seniors: Chelsea Ross and Mandy Daniels.
Ross has played well for the Eagles throughout her time in an Eastern uniform, but the most memorable moment would have to be when she hit .692 (9-0-13) in the 2006 Big Sky semifinals, a 3-0 sweep of Portland State.
"Ross is a fifth-year senior who has been plagued by injuries," Kydd said. "Unfortunately her knees would not cooperate with her aspirations, but she's been a steady, key, team player, and I am going to miss her leadership and team-focused center."
Daniels has been one of the best liberos in Eastern Washington and Big Sky history. She currently has 1,285 career digs, just 13 shy of fourth in all-time Eagle history and 18 short of entering the Big Sky's all-time top-20 list. She was named the league's Libero of the Year in 2007.
"Mandy is obviously one of the best liberos we have ever had at Eastern," Kydd said. "She is also one of the top passers and defenders in our conference. It is going to be a big void for us next year to find somebody to do all the things Mandy does - we're probably going to have to do it by committee."
Hills Hits 30 Kills, Nears 1,000 Putaways
Hayley Hills has performed at an incredibly high level this year, as she has posted the five highest kill totals in the Big Sky Conference so far in 2008.
Her 30 kills in a 3-1 win over Idaho State on Oct. 23 is the most tallied by any NCAA Division I player in a four-set match so far in 2008. It also was just four shy of the Eastern Washington school record (34, held by Kim Exner and achieved against Portland on Sept. 6, 1996).
In her career, Hills has tallied 953 kills and looks to become just the eighth Eagle in history to reach the 1,000-kill milestone.
This season, she has earned Big Sky Conference Player of the Week accolades on three occasions - Oct. 25, Oct. 13 and Sept. 29 - to become the first Eagle to earn the award three times in the same season since Janelle Ruen did so in 2002.
The third occurrence saw her average 5.73 kills per set, hit .310 (63-18-145) and contributed 2.55 digs per set, second on the team in that category behind libero Mandy Daniels. She was also named a Top Performer on a national level by CVU.com for her performances that week.
The second time she earned the POW award, Hills had a relatively rare 20-20 night in the week's only match, compiling 20 kills and 21 digs in a 3-1 defeat of first-place Portland State. The dig total is a career high for the junior outside hitter.
"Her defense is starting to come along," head coach Miles Kydd said. "We have worked with her on staying engaged on defense, and she's starting to do that better."
The first time, she hit .431 (41-10-72) and had 5.86 kills and 3.14 digs per set in matches with Montana State and Montana.
The first weekend of the season, Hills earned mention to the All-Tournament team at the Hilton Classic. She averaged 3.36 kills per set in Eastern's three contests that week.
Hills then moved her impressive streak of being named to All-Tournament teams to five, dating to 2007, after she attained accolades at the Idaho Volleyball Classic on Sept. 6.
Her season average of 4.53 kills per set not only leads all Big Sky players, but also ranks her 10th among all NCAA Division I players.
Hills' career average of 3.92 kills per set currently places her second in Eagle history in that category. Incredibly, she has increased her career average from 3.59 entering the season after the NCAA lowered the point totals needed to win a set from 30 to 25 prior to the commencement of the 2008 campaign.
That career average also currently places her ninth all-time in Big Sky history.
"We are not going to win if just Hayley is playing well, and we need to keep contributions from other players, but there is no doubt Hayley is playing at a high level," Kydd said.
Daniels Enters Top-Five List
Senior libero Mandy Daniels hit and surpassed the 1,000-dig mark the first week of the season and is now in the No. 5 spot on the EWU all-time career digs chart with 1,285. She became just the seventh Eagle in history to reach the 1,000-dig milestone.
She is, however, ready to move into the fourth spot, currently held by Janelle Ruen, who had 1,298 from 1999-02. Also, the 20th spot in Big Sky history is just ahead of that at 1,303; that slot is currently possessed by Idaho State's Felice Yocopis, who played for the Bengals from 2002-05.
Compiling 30 in Eastern's 3-2 loss to No. 17 Colorado State on Aug. 30 pushed her career total past 1,000 to 1,017. That match total is tied for the eighth-highest by any Big Sky Conference player in 2008 and was the most by an Eagle since she had 33 against Sacramento State on Nov. 16, 2007.
She then surpassed that dig total when she had 31 in EWU's 3-1 win over Montana on Sept. 27. That sum is tied for the sixth-most by a Big Sky player this year. It is also tied for the 25th-most by an NCAA Division I player in a four-set match this year.
After a quality first weekend of play, she earned mention to the Hilton Classic's All-Tournament team. That week, she averaged 5.27 digs per set.
Daniels is on pace to set the school record for career digs per set, as her current average of 4.33 is ahead of Verdoljak's 3.95 (2002-04). That average is also on pace to place her fifth all-time in Big Sky history.
It is especially incredible that she has actually improved her digs per set average after the NCAA lowered the point totals needed to win a set from 30 to 25 prior to the 2008 season (entering 2008, her career average was 4.32).
She currently ranks fifth in the Big Sky and 75th among 2008 NCAA Division I players in digs per set.
Ashley Assists Anyone and Everyone
Setter Ashley Hamilton has had an impressive season setting up Eastern hitters for kills. So far in 2008, she is averaging 9.64 assists per set, the fifth-highest average among Big Sky Conference players and 111th-best among all NCAA Division I players.
She also earned All-Idaho Volleyball Classic honors the second week of the season. For the weekend's three matches, she averaged 11.00 assists per set and contributed 19 digs, seven kills, six blocks and three service aces.
On Sept. 18, in a 3-2 road win over Weber State, she had 59 assists, the third-highest total by any Big Sky Conference player so far in 2008.
Then, versus Montana State and Montana on Sept. 25 and 27, respectively, she not only contributed 11.14 assists per set, but was also an intimidating attacking force herself, as she hit at a .480 clip (14-2-25). Hamilton is hitting at a .313 clip (84-21-201) this year.
"Her attack is a big deal for us, because it really messes with the other team," head coach Miles Kydd said. "If you don't dedicate a blocker to her, you're in trouble, but if you do, she sets another hitter and you're in trouble again."
Chenoa Shoots Into Block Rankings
Chenoa Coviare has been an intimidating presence at the net this year, as evidenced by her 0.99 blocks per set, an average that ranks her fourth in the Big Sky Conference and 152nd among NCAA Division I players.
Over the past nine matches, she has contributed an impressive 1.21 blocks per set (40 blocks in 33 sets).
"(Montana's) Jamie Thibeault is one of the best middles in the conference, and Chenoa was swing-for-swing with her," head coach Miles Kydd said. "She played an outstanding match on Saturday (Sept. 27), and if she continues to play at that high level, we'll be fine."
How Close Can it Get?
The top of the Big Sky Conference standings appears to lead towards another three-horse race for the regular-season crown (and, with it, the right to host the 2009 Big Sky Championship).
Northern Colorado is setting the pace in the conference with a 9-2 league mark, 15-5 overall. The Bears had finished in fifth place their first two seasons in the league. Eastern takes on UNC in its final home match of the season on Saturday (Nov. 8).
Defending regular-season champion and 2008 Championship host Portland State is just behind with a 9-3 record, 16-6 overall.
The Eagles are right in the thick of the race in third with an 8-4 mark, 13-10 overall.
Meanwhile, six-time defending Big Sky champion Sacramento State is very much looking to break into the top three, as the Hornets are 6-4 in Big Sky contests, 8-17 overall.
Montana is in fifth at 6-6, while Northern Arizona and Weber State are tied for sixth with 5-6 records. The Eagles play host to NAU on Thursday (Nov. 6).
Six teams advance to the Big Sky Championship with the top two earning byes into the semifinals. The event takes place from Nov. 28-29 in Portland, Ore.
Among Nation's Best in Attendance
The Eastern Washington volleyball team currently ranks 35th among NCAA Division I teams in average attendance at 1,004. The Eagles are 14th among teams from non-BCS conferences.
Four home crowds this year have surpassed the 1,000 mark with the high mark coming in the home opener on Sept. 25, a 3-0 win over Montana State (1,282).
The Eagles have ranked in the top 30 in attendance in 10 of the past 11 years.
Get Off! Get Off!
Eastern Washington threw a pair of monkeys off its back within a week in mid-October.
The Eagles first beat local rival Gonzaga 25-14, 25-20, 15-25, 24-26, 15-11 on Oct. 13 to snap a two-match, two-year losing streak to the Bulldogs and earn their first win over GU since a 3-0 victory on Oct. 18, 2005.
Then, five days later, EWU earned its first win over six-time defending Big Sky Conference champion Sacramento State 25-17, 16-25, 22-25, 27-25, 15-12, since a 3-1 victory on Nov. 4, 2004. That ended a run of 10 straight wins by the Hornets versus Eastern.
However, when head coach Miles Kydd was told about those streaks, he stated that his focus was, and is, not on the past.
"I didn't know about those (streaks)," Kydd said. "For us, Sacramento State is another league match, one we feel we should win. Gonzaga is a regional rival, so that is an important match just for the sake we want to be considered the top team in the Inland Northwest." (in head-to-head matches between EWU, Gonzaga, Washington State and Idaho in 2008, the Eagles and Idaho went 2-1, while the Bulldogs and Cougars finished 1-2).
Trio Earns All-Tournament Honors
A trio of Eagles has earned All-Tournament honors in 2008.
At the Idaho Volleyball Classic, played from Sept. 5-6, Ashley Hamilton and Hayley Hills earned mention to the team.
The first tournament of the year, the Hilton Classic from Aug. 29-30, saw both Mandy Daniels and Hills attain All-Tournament accolades.
Holding the `Backs to Negative Numbers
On Aug. 30, Eastern Washington dominated Arkansas in a 25-23, 25-12, 25-14 win, holding the Razorbacks to a -.085 hitting percentage. That marked the first time EWU has held an opponent to a negative hitting percentage since a 3-0 win over St. Francis (N.Y.) on Sept. 1, 2006.
Kydd Takes over Reigns
The 2008 Eastern Washington Eagles are being led by first-year head coach Miles Kydd.
Kydd, however, is no stranger to the program, as he spent the past four years as the team's assistant coach.
He also brings to the position several years of experience at the international level as well as at the collegiate level from his native Canada.
Joining him on the coaching staff is Lisa Westlake, a highly-respected mind in the sport of volleyball, as well as Wes Walker, who has worked with the Eagles the past couple years as a volunteer assistant coach.
New NCAA Rules for 2008
The term "game" has been changed to "set." In other words, a team needs to win three sets to claim a match. Volleyball throughout the world has referred to "sets" rather than "games" for the past several years.
The number of points required to win sets 1-4 is now 25. From 2001-07, it was 30. Rally scoring remains in effect; prior to 2001, the serving team was the only one allowed to tally a point on any single rally. The fifth set will also remain rally scoring, played to 15 points. All sets must still be won by at least two points.
This rule change was enacted to increase focus and excitement levels, from both players and spectators, throughout each set. International and Olympic volleyball has used 25-point sets since moving to the rally-scoring system in 1999.
As a result, the number of substitutions allowed for each team per set has been decreased from 15 to 12.
Where Will the Team Start 2009?
With its season-opening contest with Denver on Aug. 29, the Eastern Washington Eagles will have now opened the past 10 seasons (1999-2008) in 10 different districts/states (in chronological order from 1999: District of Columbia, Michigan, Maine, Florida, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Kansas, Arizona and Colorado).
Eagles Place Fifth in Preseason Poll
The Eastern Washington Eagles were selected fourth in the Big Sky Conference's preseason poll. Portland State placed first and was followed, in order, by Sacramento State, Weber State, EWU, Northern Colorado, Montana, Northern Arizona, Idaho State and Montana State.

dynachrome: I am glad to see that you have replied, as I have found your comments both interesting and helpful.
Interestingly, my F3HP came with the E screen. Yesterday, I used the F3HP and the 300/4.5 and was quite impressed with what I observed in the viewfinder. I had been thinking of buying a standard screen (B screen), but I may not have to do this. In case I do: does the "red dot" version require any exposure adjustment (i.e. when using the meter in the camera)? I have read that the red dot screens are brighter.
I am glad to have Nikon gear again. The FE and F3 series are terrific...solid build, dependable service, and excellent features. I am even thinking of adding an FE (so as to have the non-AI/AI option). Did you ever have problems loading film with the FE and the MD-12 attached? I do not believe I was doing anything wrong, but I just thought I would ask. As I remember it, I believe I tried everthing (and read the manual) before giving up the camera.
