Planning a MAP: What MAP Students and Mentors Need to Know
The Top 10 Ways to Persuade an Institutional Review Board to Reject Your Research Proposal David Lopatto, Ann Ellis CUR Focus, Spring 2010, Vol 30, No 3
Off-Campus Presentation Target
As you plan a Mentored Advanced Project, you should begin by thinking about the scope and desired results of your culminating scholarly or creative project. MAP applications must include a specific off-campus venue in order to be considered. Students will not be held to this venue, but need to have a goal in mind. List of Publications, Presentations, and Awards
MAP Credits
The Mentored Advanced Project takes place under the direct and continuous supervision of a Grinnell faculty member. The project must comprise a total of 4, 6, or 8 credits, with no more than 4 credits earned in a single semester or summer. Although a MAP component may earn 2 credits (for example, you might follow-up a four credit summer MAP with a two-credit MAP in the fall where you finish up the research and write the final draft of a research paper) there are no 2-credit MAPs. Background or preparatory work is best pursued as a regular Independent Study in advance of the MAP. The MAP proposal, including a description of all components of the project, should be submitted at the time of registering for the first component. Multi-term MAPs should begin with a 4-credit component.
Please see the summary of the Curriculum Committee's Resolutions for more details.
Student MAP Proposal Guidelines
Detailed instructions on developing a successful MAP application
In consultation with your faculty mentor, prepare a detailed formal proposal describing the topic and project that seeks to persuade your reader that your project is worth supporting. Of course, no scholar can ever predict the exact outcome of scholarly and creative work, so your final project may not match your proposal exactly; however, writing a strong proposal increases the likelihood that you will produce a successful product. Due to the inherent "advanced" nature of the MAP, make sure that the proposal shows how you are grappling at a deep level with what's been done before in the discipline and how your project responds to that previous work. Your MAP application should demonstrate your ability to conduct such an advanced study. Overall, this proposal should argue, using evidence, that this project is important, academically rigorous, and likely to result in a product that makes a new contribution to the field of study.
Specific points to consider in preparing your application:
- A Mentored Advanced Project is an approved course of faculty-directed scholarly or creative work that culminates significant preparatory work. It integrates the knowledge and skills gained by your course of studies, and aims to produce results that merit dissemination to the wider scholarly community. Using this definition, argue that your proposed project is both advanced and integrative given the background and skills you bring to it.
- State your problem or hypothesis and clearly place it within the field of previous and ongoing work of others. This description should reflect a thorough review of the literature on your topic, to make sure you know what other scholars are doing and what conclusions they are coming to.
- Formulate and describe your approach to the project—the steps you will take to answer the questions/address the hypothesis you have already presented. Clearly and thoroughly articulate your methodology and why you will use this particular approach for your analysis, formation of a creative product, and/or data collection. Include references to particular influences and previous work that informs this process.
- Identify what your research will contribute to the body of knowledge in the disciplinary area in which you are working. What will those who review your final product learn about the larger field of scholarship within which your project falls?
- Pay attention to the requirements of academic honesty:
- Remember that this proposal is a scholarly piece of writing; as such it should represent your most careful formal writing. As with any scholarly piece of writing, you must attribute ideas and words to their sources clearly and consistently, using whatever citation system is accepted in your discipline.
- If you are proposing work that will be done in collaboration with others, whether faculty members or students, clarify what language and ideas belong to others and what are yours. Even if the project as a whole is collaborative, you must argue individually in your own words why the project represents advanced and integrative work for you.
Applying for a MAP
To propose a MAP, use the application form available from the Registrar and also online. Applications for summer MAPs and academic year MAPs can be found with the registrar's forms.
The deadline for proposing a MAP or any other Independent Study during the academic year falls on Monday of the week following the end of the pre-registration period. Deadline for students who were on Off-Campus Study the semester prior to the MAP, or who are applying for the second semester of a two-part MAP is the Friday of the first full week of classes.
The application should set out a clear set of goals and a highly detailed plan, including the questions or problems you intend to address and how you intend to go about addressing them.
Supplies needed to complete the project (poster, artwork, photocopies, etc.) are the responsibility of the student and the academic department. If your MAP will incur special costs or expenses, please be sure to include a tentative budget with the application.
Planning a Summer MAP
Timing and Time Commitment
The standard ten-week period for a summer MAP begins with the week of Memorial Day and ends in early August. Summer MAPs require both a faculty request for funding (due 1st Friday in February) and a student MAP application. Planning summer MAPs must begin very early. All summer MAP students receive a stipend awarded by the Committee for the Support of Faculty Scholarship, so faculty desirous of mentoring students in an advanced project during the summer must submit a funding request form before the February deadline. A CSFS request for funding is necessary for student-initiated projects as well as for MAPs based on a faculty member's research. Summer MAPs differ from those pursued during the academic year. The summer MAP is expected to be a full-time on-campus endeavor (this is why the College pays a stipend to the summer MAP student, as well as why students cannot be employed elsewhere on campus during the MAP). Mentors are expected to provide frequent and regular supervision, including at least two regularly scheduled meeting per week that the MAP is conducted.
Defining Projects and Identifying Summer MAP Students and Mentors
Faculty members who normally use student assistants in their summer research programs apply for funds for student summer stipends as a matter of course each year, and identify qualified MAP candidates late in the Spring semester. Because summers are reserved for faculty research, opportunities for student-initiated summer MAP projects are very restricted. Students who hope to pursue a summer research program of their own devising must discuss their plans with potential mentors well before the February deadline for summer funding requests. They should develop for the application a clear set of goals and a highly detailed plan, including the questions or problems they intend to address and how they intend to go about addressing them. Students who are on a Personal leave of Absence or an Emergency/Medical Leave of Absence are eligible for summer independent study, directed research or MAPS, provided the following conditions are in place:
- The MAP meets Grinnell's standards for summer MAPS
- The student has filed a personal or emergency/medical leave return letter and has been granted approval to return for the subsequent semester
- The student will be registering in April for fall classes
- The student must sign a promissory note agreeing to repay the stipend and appropriate tuition for the credits they earned if they do not enroll for the fall term.
To secure funding for a summer MAP, the faculty member needs to submit a request to the Committee on Support of Faculty Scholarship (CSFS) in early February. The summer map funding form is available online. This request normally includes a stipend to support the MAP student during the summer, and in some cases modest expenses (such as research supplies (not including books)) needed to carry out the project.
Summer Application
The MAP application form is available from the Registrar's Office, including an online printable MAP application form. For summer MAPs, the Registrar's deadline is too late to secure funding for a project if your faculty mentor did not do so by the February deadline. There are two parts to summer MAP applications and two deadline options. Part A of the application, due in late April or early May, asks for the title and the plans for meetings and coursework. Part B asks the applicant to describe the project in detail. The MAP Director will determine whether Part B will be submitted in May or if the project will be better served by delaying Part B submission until June. The June deadline best suits MAPs where students are working on the faculty member's research. The May deadline better serves student-initiated projects by helping the student and director develop a clear set of expectations early on. It is important to remember that the application is not complete (and thus cannot be approved by the Dean's office) until both parts are submitted.
MAP students are eligible to rent college-owned housing, subject to availability, either for that ten-week period, or for a six-week period during the first half or second half of the summer. Initial deposits and rent can automatically be deducted from MAP stipend payments. To accommodate building maintenance needs, the earliest date for students to move into the college-owned housing will be Memorial Day, and it will not be possible to remain any later than the first full week of August. (See summer housing) Students interested in learning more about this opportunity should contact the Residence Life Housing Office.
If the MAP student has not previously been employed by the college, the student needs to complete employment forms at the Cashier's Office. The student should refer to the I-9 for appropriate employment verification. It is not possible to receive a paycheck without filing these employment forms. Student paychecks are issued throughout the summer on alternate Fridays as determined by the Office of the Treasurer, and are available for pick-up at the Cashier's Office.
Student Travel Guidelines
General Travel Expense Guidelines
Please complete a Travel Expense Voucher (under "Travel Reimbursement Information") and return with original itemized receipts to the Dean's Office (Nollen 2nd) within thirty days from date of travel. If you need assistance, please contact Marcia Baker in the Dean's Office at ext. 3098.
Funds should not be committed for non-refundable expenses until receiving notification of approval.
Original itemized receipts are needed for all allowable expenses including transportation (except mileage), registration, and lodging. Receipts must be itemized and show specific items purchased.
- Normally, the rate available for student housing per night is $60. In some cases, the maximum expense available per student may be increased to $120 per night.
- The maximum total amount available for transportation is $300 for travel within 350 miles and $400 for distances greater than 350 miles. In some cases worked out with the Associate Dean's office, special funding may be available for subsidizing international travel. It is expected that travel dates and times will be selected to keep travel and lodging expenses low. Please make flight arrangements as early as possible to ensure the lowest possible fares. Those driving will be reimbursed at $0.56 per mile, plus parking and tolls, up to the maximum amount allowed. Expenses for ground transportation to and from the Des Airport may be reimbursed up to $66. Expenses for ground transportation to and from the Cedar Rapids airport may be reimbursed up to $88.
Students traveling to conduct research during the MAP
Budgets for Summer MAPs are submitted by faculty MAP directors in February. Budgets for Fall and Spring MAPs should be included within the student's MAP application.
Since Summer MAP students already receive stipends intended to cover their living expenses, summer MAP students may only be partially reimbursed for lodging and transportation expenses in significant excess of those expenses for living in Grinnell.
Students traveling to give a presentation at a professional conference
All applications should be submitted three months before the beginning date of the conference. Notifications of funding will normally be made two months before the beginning date of the conference. Administration of funds is contingent on acceptance of the student's MAP results for presentation.
- Only "early registration" fees will be reimbursed. Membership fees and funds for extra conference activities will not be reimbursed.
- All students attending the same conference are expected to travel together and share lodging (up to four students per room). Lodging will only be reimbursed for stays occurring during the regular schedule of the conference.
- For conference days when meals are not included with registration, meals can be reimbursed up to $25 per day when original itemized receipts showing specific items purchased are provided. We recommend selecting a hotel that provides breakfast if possible. Keep in mind that we cannot reimburse for alcohol or non-food items.
- Students are eligible to receive funding for presentation of their MAP results up to a year after completion of the MAP.

Compensation for Accumulated MAP (499) Credits
MAP teaching credits accumulate according to the following rubric as approved by the faculty in 2002.
"The faculty endorses the President's and Dean's recommendation that faculty shall accumulate teaching credit of 1/6 of a course for teaching a 4 or 6 credit MAP and ¼ course for an 8 credit MAP to be applied in accordance with a memorandum from the Dean's Office dated April 5th. It further endorses the President's and Dean's commitment to minimize any resulting departmental curricular disruptions. The faculty supports the principle that for part-time and temporary faculty compensation shall generally take the form of an appropriate stipend."
Faculty MAP Report and Compensation
Reports from the faculty supervisor of the MAP must be submitted in order to earn compensation. These reports are due one month after grades have been submitted. Compensation will be forfeit if reports have not been received within four (4) months of completing the MAP. Multi-term MAPs require a report for each semester. An on-line version of the report can be found at MAP Report Form
Modes of Compensation
There are three typical modes of compensation for accumulated MAPs:
- course releases , which may be taken during an academic year in consultation with a department
- extension of a scholarly leave to a full-time leave with payment on a pro rata basis
- cash stipends for term faculty or in some cases for continuing faculty
Course Release
- When a faculty member accumulates a total of a course she or he may opt to teach one fewer course in an academic year. It is important for the faculty member and department to plan carefully for this so that the curriculum of the department is not seriously affected. The faculty member and department should discuss the plan with the Dean, usually in the fall semester before the academic year of the proposed course release.
Scholarly Leave
- A faculty member may incorporate MAP credits as a part of a scholarly leave. If a faculty member is approved for a sabbatical leave and wishes to extend that leave for a full year, the MAP teaching credit can contribute to the half of salary not provided by the leave. MAP salary compensation is based upon a three course sabbatical leave which leaves two remaining courses in an annual teaching assignment. The salary for the year-long leave will be 50% salary plus 50% * (# MAP course credits/ 2 courses). For example, if a faculty member has completed 6 MAP credits (compensated as 1 course credit), a full-year leave would be compensated at 50% + 25% of the faculty member's ordinary salary. Or, if a faculty member has completed 8 MAPs (compensated as 1.33 course credits), a full-year leave would be compensated at 50% + 33 % of her or his salary. Requests for such credit toward leave pay should be submitted at the time of the leave proposal. Only credits completed by the end of the spring semester (not including the subsequent summer) preceding the leave will be included in the leave compensation.
Cash Compensation
- In the case of a term faculty member (who cannot accrue enough MAP credits to equal a full course) we will pay the individual according to the Compensation Schedule below. In some cases where a regular, continuing faculty member cannot take a course release in compensation for a MAP, we will apply the cash compensation in lieu of course credit.
Compensation Schedule
- 4-credit Co-directed - $500
- 4- or 6-credits - $1000
- 8-credits - $1500 total
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow
A department may apply for a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow to help ameliorate the curricular effects of MAP compensation. The Mellon Fellow serves for two years and teaches two courses/year.
Clarification of Roles and Compensation:
Co-directorship versus 2nd reader
When a MAP is co-directed, it is assumed that both advisors share equal responsibility in mentoring the student. In a co-directed MAP, both directors guide the development, design, execution and evaluation of the product, each submit individual reports and both faculty members split the MAP credit.
A second reader evaluates a draft of the product and gives feedback to the student and mentor. The second reader receives a $300 stipend for his/her evaluation. This compensation will be administered once the primary director states in the final MAP report that the second reader has fulfilled his/her responsibilities.

The second set began with Rift which basically sucks. We caught on to Fishman stopping the beat right away. At the time we felt that he didnt like Rift either but who knows? They began to play Free. The first 12 to 15 minutes is great, shreddy, type 1 Free jam. Then the walls came down from the song structure and we were left with a crazy jam. From 15 to 20 min, its Trey and Fish pounding on the drums and page taking the lead. High energy and sick. At 20m, it becomes this dark ambient jam with Trey playing beautiful leads on his axe. From pretty, dark and slow it culminates to a rocking, hard driving jam. All the way to Trey ripping a few high notes. Then back into a drum jam then gently landing into Llama without the traditional drumbeat intro. Sunrise over turquoise mountains. Trey does the full pressure release during Llama, which felt so good. Then they play YEM. With a white hot guitar solo. Trey and Fish fully locked in. Trey hits a few monster high notes with Fish dropping bombs around it. Shapiro needs to release Free-)Llama and Yem b/c there isnt any great sounding copies of this around. I laugh at the fact no one reviews a show like this and it has 3.5 stars when a weak 12/31/12 has countless reviews and almost 5 stars. This is why Phish is about the music and certainly not about the Fans. I will begin reviewing shows. Only the ones I went to since if you werent there you shouldnt review it. And my reviews will be quick to read.
Free--) Llama is an all-time jam. For this alone its a 5 star show. But to be honest, I gave it 4.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.
November 22, 2006
U.S. Green Building Council to Tighten Standards and Add Incentives
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is taking a carrot-and-stick approach to its ever-popular LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating system, tightening standards while providing new incentives for building designers to strive for their best. The USGBC announced on November 15th that its board and the LEED Steering Committee have put forth a series of proposals and recommendations for changes to the LEED system, including new standards for commercial buildings that require increased energy reductions and a 50 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, compared to typical commercial buildings. The carrot is that USGBC will develop metrics to quantify the carbon dioxide emissions reductions, providing building owners with a means to earn carbon dioxide offsets. The USGBC will also allow companies to earn LEED certification quickly on a large number of similar buildings, such as branch offices or restaurants.
To encourage building designers and developers to go for the gold—in this case, it's actually the platinum—USGBC will fully rebate its certification fees for any building that earns LEED Platinum certification, its highest rating. In addition, all LEED-certified new and remodeled commercial buildings will be automatically registered for the "LEED for Existing Buildings" certification, which relates to building operations. By doing so, the USGBC intends to encourage not only green design and building, but also green operations once the building is complete. And just to show that it practices what it preaches, the USGBC is moving into a new building this week, a LEED Platinum commercial interior in a building with a LEED Gold core and shell. The USGBC also intends to be carbon neutral by the end of 2007. See the USGBC announcement (MS Word 51 KB) and the USGBC LEED Web page.
Efforts to encourage green building in schools have been bolstered by a report released by Capital E in October. The report finds that green schools cost only $3 per square foot extra to build, but yield $74 per square foot in financial benefits. Of that, about $12 per square foot goes directly to the school in the form of improved teacher retention, lower health costs, and reduced energy and water bills.

'Arrow,' Season 1, Episode 5, 'Damaged': TV Recap
When last we left our hero, Oliver Queen (aka: Green Arrow) had been arrested ask the police appeared to have videotape that showed he was the Hooded vigilante. Meanwhile, Oliver's step-father, Walter, had discovered what appeared to be evidence that Oliver's mother, Moira, had been behind the boat accident that killed Oliver's father and left our hero stranded on an island for 5 years. The evidence he found was the yacht that had sunk… somehow stored in a warehouse owned by Oliver's mother.
And with that, it is time for tonight's episode.
We begin 5 years ago, on the island. Oliver and his Chinese rescuer are in the woods. The rescuer is really good with a bow and arrow. He begins to teach Oliver, who sucks at it, how to shoot. Suddenly, Oliver is grabbed by some masked men grab him and throw him in an underground cage.
Back in present day, Oliver is being questioned by Det. Lance, who is convinced Oliver is The Hood. Oliver has a pretty good story to explain the security cam footage. Oliver's family arrives and the angry Detective leaves. Oliver tells his mother and Walter that he wants his ex-girlfriend Laurel to be his lawyer. Of course, Laurel also happens to be Det. Lance's daughter so she may be able to influence daddy a little bit.
At Oliver's pre-trial hearing, Laurel shows up at the last minute to represent him. She says he would be willing to wear an ankle bracelet to ensure he remains under house arrest if the judge will grant bail. Oliver is none too pleased about this as it means he won't be able to go out at night as Arrow.
The police fit him with the GPS ankle device and Oliver's response is to announce that he is going to have a big party! It will be a prison/Shawshank Redemption theme. This kid knows how to party!
Oliver gets together with his bodyguard, Digg, who knows Oliver really is Arrow. Oliver tells Digg that getting arrested was all part of a plan. He knew someone would eventually put it together that Oliver and Arrow arrived in town at the same time. Oliver makes it clear that just because he is under house arrest, Arrow will still be patrolling the city. He is concerned about an arms dealer, Leo Mueller, who has arrived in town to sell guns to local gangs. He wants Digg to follow Mueller and find out where the arms deal is going to go down.
Over at Queen Consolidated, Walter tells the company's chief of security about the warehouse and the yacht he found there. He wants the yacht moved to a secret location without Mommy Moira finding out about it.
Oliver, Laurel, Det. Lance, and the DA are meeting. The DA offers Oliver a plea bargain if he will plead insanity. Oliver refuses and says he will take a polygraph to prove he is innocent.
Flashback to the island. Oliver's captors are pretty well-armed and equipped. They take him to their leader, a man with a slight European accent. He introduced himself as Edward. He asks Oliver about the Chinese man. Oliver says he doesn't know him. Edward says, "you're a really bad liar." Oliver continues lying. Edward says he is going to make Oliver beg for death. Edward says, "He's yours now" to a man who walks in wearing a half-black, half-yellow mask. Comic book lovers instantly recognize the villainous character Deathstroke.
Flashback over and Mommy Moira is meeting with the "Well-dressed man," the guy who appears to be the leader of all of Starling City's evil businessmen. Moira tries to assure him that Oliver is not the hooded man targeting them.
Oliver is at police HQ to take the polygraph. Det. Lance is questioning him. He asks Oliver if he is the hooded vigilante. Oliver says no as he flashes back to being tortured by Deathstroke. After that, fooling a lie detector is a piece of cake! The questioning turns to Oliver's time on the island and he admits other people were there. Det. Lance asks if Oliver has ever killed anyone. Oliver says yes and says he feels like he killed Det. Lance's daughter, who was with him on the yacht when it sank. Oliver walks out and the polygraph analyst says Oliver was telling the truth the whole time. Det. Lance still does not believe Oliver is innocent.
Time for the Shawshank party, which features lots of people in prison stripes getting drunk. Oliver and Digg go off and talk about the arms deal, which is going down tonight. He wants Digg to put on the hood and pretend to be the vigilante. This will be the ultimate cover for Oliver as he is at the party and the hood is going to bust up an arms deal. I told all of you a few weeks ago that Digg would make a great sidekick!
At Queen Consolidated, Walter gets a disturbing phone call. His head of security, who was supposed to be looking into the mysterious yacht, has died in a car accident. Walter knows it was no accident.
Laurel is at the party. She and Oliver have a private moment together and she asks to see his scars from the island. They are bad. She wants to know how he endured the torture. He says he had something to live for and they kiss. Laurel feels very confused though and runs off.
Time for another flashback. Oliver has not spoken about the Chinese man, despite all the torture. Edward decides it is time to "put him out of his misery." Just then, the Chinese man bursts in and fires an arrow, freeing Oliver. He also fires one at Deathstroke, who catches it mid-air, and snaps it in two. Cool!! Deathstroke and Yao Fei have a cool fight. Yao Fei wins it and gets away with Oliver.
In Starling City, the arms deal is going down, but Digg is there in the hood. He doesn't shoot any arrows, but he manages to break it up by overpowering a couple gang members.
Meanwhile, Moira is meeting with her hubby, Wallter. He tells her he found the yacht. He calls her a liar. She tells him to stop looking into the yacht sinking because he will be going against "people with influence."
At the house, Digg calls Oliver and tells him that the hood made an appearance. Oliver is pleased but does not get to celebrate for long as an assassin is there to kill him. Oliver is fighting the man when Det. Lance comes in and shoots the assassin. Det. Lance reports that witnesses spotted the hood breaking up the arms deal so all charges against Oliver are being dropped.
Moira goes to meet with the Well-dressed man. She accuses him of sending the assassin to get Oliver. She tells him that if he ever tries to hurt a member of her family again, she will bring him down!
Back in the past, the Chinese man takes Oliver to their hidden cave. He gives Oliver a little pouch and thanks Oliver for not revealing the Chinese man's secrets to Deathstroke. The Chinese man says he will lead the bad guys away and he flees the cave. Oliver is alone. The last words the Chinese man speaks are, "Everything on the island is green. You green, you survive longer." Now we know why the hood is green.
We return to the present where Laurel is confronting Oliver. She can tell that he lied on part of the polygraph and fooled the machine. This means everything he said could have been a lie. Oliver tells her the island damaged him. Laurel says even though they are still attracted to each other, they can never be together. He says, "I know."
Meanwhile, Walter has decided he needs a little break from Moira and her lies. He is going on a business trip for a while… to Melbourne, Australia.
The final scene is Arrow breaking up another arms deal. He flips and spins and shoots arrows all over the place. The episode ends with him shooting and killing the arms dealer… off camera. We can't actually show our hero Green Arrow actually killing anyone, can we?
Overall, I thought this was a pretty good episode. I liked that it did not focus very much on the meaningless bad guy of the week, instead giving us a lot of interaction and relationship stuff between the main characters. Obviously, Deathstroke's introduction was key as was the emergence of Digg as a legit sidekick. The episode implied that we had seen the last of the Chinese man on the island, though I certainly hope not. Someone needs to teach Oliver a whole lot more about fighting and shooting a bow!
Well, that's enough from me. Time for you to post your thoughts so we can chat! Put something in the comment section and I'll be sure to respond.

It's a photo of a puppy feeding on mother's milk. But it isn't his mother's or even his species. A woman posted the photo to show what she said was her last resort to save the runt of an orphaned litter of lab-mix puppies.
"I just felt like he just had an hour left. That's how weak he was, he wasn't moving and I just did it," the woman told KRDO exclusively.
The puppy wouldn't eat from a bottle or the K-9 formula.
"He just wasn't taking it. I didn't know what else to do, I was desperate and I just couldn't bear sitting there watching it die," the woman said. "Literally what clicked in my head was like, put him on you, just pray to God he will take something and not die."
We aren't identifying the woman because of the backlash she fears from the "taboo" action. Ironically, before she was faced with the puppy dying, she felt the same way.
"I never thought I would ever do that, it was taboo to me as well," she said.
|What do you think about this story? Like KRDO NewsChannel 13 on Facebook to sound off!
The woman posted it on her personal Facebook page to explain why she did it. Someone then took the photo and began spreading it around the Internet.
"I did the right thing. I can't let their criticism bring me down when I did something right and I've seen the results. That dog is alive because I took that initiative," she said.
The puppy, now a little over a week old, is no longer the runt. His is doing so well, is new name is "Tubbs." He and his four other orphaned siblings are being fostered by another family until they will be old enough for adoption.
Veterinarian Dr. Amber Williams says she wouldn't recommend breast feeding a puppy. Dr. Williams says she is less concerned about the taboo.
"I'm more concerned about zoonotic diseases because there are things that can be passed from puppies to babies," Dr. Williams said.
Dr. Williams says nutritionally, human milk isn't the best for other animals.
"In an emergency situation, I don't think it's a big deal, but for them to grow appropriately I think it would be important for them to get on a K-9 formula," Dr. Williams said.
The puppy's foster mom says she isn't worried about anything being passed to her 15-month old child because that child is weaned off her milk.
So is Tubbs. He's now woofing down formula out of the bottle.

How To Make a (99% Recycled) Gingham Upholstered Stool
What You Need
- thrifted table to take apart
- Liquid Sandpaper (deglosser)
- clean rag
- spray primer
- metallic spray paint (I used Valspar Brilliant Metal-Silver from Lowes)
- 3 to 5 inch piece of foam
- spray adhesive
- polyester dacron or cotton batting
- covered button kit
- 3/4 yard gingham upholstery fabric
- 1/2 yard of scrap fabric to cover the bottom
- twine
1. Take apart a thrifted table for a stool base and legs.
2. Remove glossy finish on the dividers with Liquid Sandpaper or deglosser.
3. Place the base piece on the foam and trace around it, cut out the foam with an electric knife or a hacksaw.
4. Use spray adhesive to glue the foam to the base.
5. Cut out a piece of batting and cover the foam, pull it evenly all the way around and staple it on the edges.
6. Cut a piece of gingham upholstery fabric so it will cover the stool diagonally.
7. Place the fabric over the dacron covered foam, pulling firmly and stapling evenly all around. Fold and staple the corners with a tight hospital sheet corner.
NOTE: Make sure the fabric doesn't cover the holes for the legs
8. On the bottom of the stool, measure for, mark and drill four evenly spaced holes.
9. Make four covered buttons, attach twine to the back of each button.
10. Push tufting needle up through the hole in the base until it pops through the fabric, thread the the twine through the eye of the needle and pull the needle back down through the stool. Pull the button down tightly and staple it firmly on the bottom of the stool.
11. Repeat for the other three buttons.
12. Use a piece of scrap fabric to staple to the bottom as a dustcover.
13. Attach shiny chrome painted legs.
Additional Notes: Stools are an easy beginning upholstery project for a child's room or any room in the house. There are so many salvageable materials you can find to use for bases and legs. Don't be afraid to give it a try.

So I might be off just a bit on my ratio here.
But I have to believe that, for every one-mile you run in 90 degree-plus temperatures, you get the equivalent benefit of running two miles in 50-degree weather.
Please: someone tell me I'm on to something here...
Well, I think Galloway says to slow down 1 minute per mile for every 10 degrees over 60. (It might be every 5 degrees, someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.)
What do you mean by "benefit"? I have no scientific basis for my theory either, but I don't think you get muscular or cardiovascular benefits by running in the heat vs running in milder temperatures. If that were true, I think gyms would be heated rather than air conditioned!
I run in Georgia heat and humidity every summer and at the end of the summer I see no "benefits" from it. I do run faster once the weather is cooler, but I consider that my base level. Running in the heat is a handicap and once that handicap is removed I am running at my normal speeds again. But I don't feel that I've gained extra fitness from running in the heat other than benefit of adapting to the heat and being able to tolerate it better as the summer goes on.
+1 to what Marykb said. You have work harder in heat to maintain similar paces but you do not get any extra benefits.
Galloway does say to slow down one minute per mile for every five degrees over 60. Which can get pretty slow if you don't run early in the AM.
If anything it`s the reverse becuase your body will be buring a little extra to keep warm on a cold day

Well, it seems logical to my lay-person brain that all things being equal (speed, distance) that if you're working harder due to the heat and it subsequently increases your heart rate that you'll burn more calories running in the heat. I think it might be a little much, though to assume people keep the same pace at 92 degrees as at 65 degrees.
"I'd rather wear out than rust out."
- Harlan Sanders (Col. Sanders)
You may be on to something, because why else is my breathing so much more difficult in hot/humid weather? I would think that it is because I am working harder.!
If being hot burned extra calories, then you would burn extra calories just sitting in a sauna. Your heart rate will increase in order to cool itself while you are sitting there doing nothing. If that burned extra calories and increased our fitness level, we wouldn't have to exercise at all!
Sorry, I'm not buying it!
Well consider two things - one of which was covered in my original post. That being that one would have to keep the same amount of exertion in all conditions - I don't think that happens, hence people saying they have a better workout in cooler weather or a harder time in hotter weather. Second, perhaps the calorie burn doesn't increase significantly enough to be, well, significant, i.e you'd have to sit in the sauna for 5 hours to equal 30 minutes worth of strenuous exercise. Just pulling those numbers out of my hoo ha and what seems logical. I'm sure there is plenty of scientific info online to prove or disprove this either way, but I haven't bothered to look it up yet!
"I'd rather wear out than rust out."
- Harlan Sanders (Col. Sanders)
I don't think the extra calories burned are significant. Heat does make your heart beat faster, your veins dilate more and you breathe faster, just doesn't burn a whole bunch of calories. I know people who do Bikram yoga, where the room is 105 degrees with 40% humidity, and eww. I don't mind sweating, but that sounds so unpleasant.
Law of specificity. You run faster or farther by running faster and/or farther. To run farther hydrate well or run indoors
So here is something I have to ask.
Would I get the same benefit by running in 10F weather than in 90F?
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!

by Tom Moorman, Ph.D.
The explosion and subsequent sinking of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig triggered the largest environmental catastrophe in the history of the United States. The blown-out well, located about 40 miles southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River in more than 5,000 feet of water, spewed tens of millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Species and habitats at risk—some superabundant, others regrettably rare—range from poorly studied deepwater coral reefs to sea turtles, marine mammals, and highly productive wetlands vital to waterfowl and other wetland-dependent migratory birds.
As of press time in early August, BP had successfully staunched the flow of oil with an experimental cap and a "static kill," as efforts to drill relief wells neared completion. But even after the well is permanently sealed, the vast quantities of oil and chemical dispersants applied to break down and sink the oil may present unprecedented future environmental challenges.
Over eons, the muddy, sediment-laden waters of the Mississippi River built a vast area of coastal deltaic marshes interspersed with hundreds of thousands of ponds that provide rich habitat for multitudes of wetland-dependent birds and other wildlife. These wetlands are the heart and soul of this region's commercial and recreational fisheries and the foundation of its culture and the livelihoods of local residents. For waterfowl and millions of other migratory birds, the Gulf Coast marshes are at the end of a vast funnel. Ducks, geese, and many other bird species raised in the Arctic, boreal forest, and prairies fill the funnel each fall as they migrate down the Mississippi and Central flyways. Louisiana's expansive coastal marshes host the majority of these birds—up to 9.2 million ducks and geese in some years. Sadly, since the 1930s over 1.2 million acres of Louisiana's coastal marshes have been lost to saltwater intrusion, erosion, and subsidence. Moreover, vast expanses of marsh have been degraded by the same forces, further diminishing the region's ability to support waterfowl and other wildlife.
The primary cause of Louisiana's enormous wetland losses has been the construction of levees along the lower Mississippi River to control flooding and improve waterborne navigation and commerce. Today, these levees reach almost to the Gulf, robbing the marshes of the sediment-laden waters that created and once sustained them. Unfortunately, the oil spill may increase the risk to wetlands along the Gulf Coast, especially in Louisiana.
While the stakes are exceedingly high, great uncertainty exists about the oil's immediate and long-term effects on wetlands and waterfowl. Essentially, the oil spill is an unplanned large-scale experiment in one of North America's richest and most diverse wetland areas, adding a new dimension of risk to an ecosystem already losing approximately 20,000 acres of wetlands annually. But one thing is certain. This region's coastal wetlands and the fish, wildlife, and people who depend on them cannot sustain such losses much longer.
As of press time in early August, an estimated 200 million gallons of crude oil had escaped into the Gulf of Mexico. What will become of all this oil? Seeps of oil occur naturally in the Gulf, and the relatively small amounts of oil these seeps release are generally not a serious threat to the marine environment. Certain species of bacteria consume the hydrocarbons in oil and eventually break them down into byproducts such as water and carbon dioxide. The downside is that these bacteria consume oxygen in the process.
Marine scientists fear the sheer volume of oil in the Gulf may cause an explosion of bacteria that will consume lots of oil, but in doing so also consume lots of dissolved oxygen, creating "dead zones" devoid of life. Oxygen depletion could also occur in coastal wetlands and shallow inshore waters, killing fish, shrimp, crabs, clams, and oyster beds. Monitoring is ongoing, and only time will tell to what extent this may happen and what effect it may have on the Gulf's marine life and productive fisheries.

Summary of 2008 Year-End CEO Speech
|TOKYO, Japan, December 17, 2008 – The abrupt change involving the global automobile industry from mid-September of this year that was triggered by the financial crisis, forced all the automakers to change various plans over a very short period of time. The situation is worsening day by day and is showing no sign of recovery.
Despite this severe business environment, Honda has been able to introduce its advanced environmental technologies to its customers in the form of products such as the FCX Clarity fuel cell vehicle and the all-new Insight hybrid vehicle.
Facing an urgent need to address the sharp sales downturn, production adjustments have been made starting from the latter half of this year in North America, Europe, and Japan to maintain appropriate inventory levels. Honda has further decided to make an additional production adjustment of 54,000 units of automobiles in Japan during the current fiscal year.
[ Revised forecast for consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 ]
Even in the growing motorcycle markets in emerging countries in Asia and South America, overall motorcycle sales experienced a slowdown in the latter half of the year due to the impact of the credit crunch.
[ Automobile ]
The situation is worsening every day in all regions.

The world's leading atheist and Chairman of the Keep Britain Happy campaign, Professor Richard Dawkins has stated that the existence of the WRU proves that there is no god. "The WRU appears to have such a complex structure, that any superior being would have to spend all their time just trying to understand what was going on. That would then mean they wouldn't be able to concentrate on other things, like how badgers work." claimed the 2013 winner of the Steve Hansen Award for Misery.
Dawkins, who spends December 25th watching ITV3 so that he can pretend Christmas isn't happening, did have a crumb of comfort for theists everywhere. "While the WRU show there's no god, I won't rule out the work of the Devil."

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Volleyball team won in dramatic fashion in the Southland Conference and home opener on Thursday, taking a 3-2 (27-25, 25-18, 19-25, 15-25, 15-13) final over Central Arkansas in the closest match of the year for either team. Central Arkansas came into the match undefeated and having lost only two sets all season before the 3-2 loss to the host Islanders.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi is now 8-4 on the season and 1-0 in Southland Conference play. The preseason Southland favorite Sugar Bears move to 11-1 overall and start off 0-1 in the league. Despite Shannon Hullum being the only Islanders player with double-digit kills, the team picked up a tough victory behind the defensive front line. Tyger Holt and Brooke Alverson each had eight block assists to lead a team that had 32 total block assists and three block solos. Holt had one block solo while Alverson earned the other against UCA.
Micah Nolan had her fifth match with at least 20 digs, picking up 20 on the night while Ivy Baresh had 14 in the match and Shayla Maldonado finished with 13. Logen Bourque picked up a team high 32 assists from the setter position for the Islanders.
The win by Texas A&M – Corpus Christi was just the second in seven tries against UCA with both coming in Corpus Christi.
The opening set started out with the teams trading points to a 10-10 tie. After that point, the Islanders scored 5-of-7 points with help from kills by Alverson and Bourque to make it a 15-12 score. The biggest lead of the set came at 22-17 on a kill by Hullum, but UCA mounted a rally that saw them tie the score at 14-14. The teams traded points to 25-25 before Baresh put away a kill to bring up set point, and an attack error by the Sugar Bears ended the set at 27-25 to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead in the match.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi held a slim margin early in the second set, but a barrage of blocks helped extend the Islanders lead. A combined block by Hullum and Holt, a kill by Baresh and another block assist by Baresh and Alverson made it an 11-7 lead.
Brianna Brink added a kill and Holt and Hullum blocked another UCA attack to extend the lead to 17-11 as the Islanders gained a firm hold on the set. The lead grew to as many as nine when Alverson and Bourque combined on a block to make it 23-14. Service errors by the Sugar Bears did them in, as one brought up set point and another gave Texas A&M – Corpus Christi a 25-18 final and 2-0 lead heading into the intermission.
The third and fourth sets saw a resurgent UCA team even the score with wins of 25-19 and 25-15 to bring on a decisive fifth set.
In the fifth set, the Islanders opened a 6-1 lead with three kills from Hullum, one from Baresh and a block assist from Alverson and Hullum to force a UCA timeout. The Sugar Bears cut the lead to 6-3 after the break before another Baresh kill made it 7-3. Three straight from UCA made it 7-6 before yet another Baresh kill gave the Islanders an 8-6 lead at the changeover.
After the teams switched sides, UCA evened the score on back-to-back kills by Jessica Hays. The Islanders answered with a block assist by Holt and Haley Satterwhite to make it another two-point advantage at 10-8. The match was squared at 12-12 when a bad set by Nolan gave the Sugar Bears their first lead of the set to force a Texas A&M – Corpus Christi timeout.
After the break, a kill by Hullum and combined block by Holt and Hullum brought up match point at 14-13, and a UCA attack error ended it at 15-13 for the 3-2 Islanders win.
Next up for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will be a weekend match in Dugan when they take on Oral Roberts at 1 p.m. this Saturday. It will be the first meeting between the two teams in program history.

Ceremony officially opens Benderson rowing park
Published: Saturday, June 7, 2014 at 8:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 7, 2014 at 8:54 p.m.
SARASOTA COUNTY - Area officials and residents gathered at Nathan Benderson Park on Saturday to celebrate the official grand opening ceremony of the world class rowing center.
The park was busy with activity, despite the ceremony. A half dozen people paddled across the lake's calm waters atop paddleboards in the morning. Local high school rowers practiced for the Sunshine State Games competition. Residents biked, skated and ran around the track that wraps the lake. Others walked their dogs.
A new sign that said "welcome to your community park" welcomed residents and visitors as they made their entrance.
After more than five years, Benderson Development staff and county officials say that the Benderson Park has officially transformed the Southwest Florida community.
"Bikers, runners, triathlon participants, dragon boaters, what do you think?" Paul Blackketter asked the crowd. He was answered with a sea of applause. "This is for you."
Randy Benderson, the head of the locally-based real estate firm Benderson Development, honored Blackketter, the chief operating officer of the Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Association, the nonprofit group that runs the operations of Benderson Park.
Blackketter was responsible for developing the team that landed the 2017 World Rowing Championships bid, an international event that will draw 42,000 Olympic-level rowers and supporters to the region and pump millions into the local economy. Since then, the SANCA team has accumulated a number of event accolades, like hosting the 2018 NCAA Rowing Championships with the University of Central Florida.
Benderson reminisced when the park was merely a construction borrow pit owned by Sarasota County. He commended Blackketter for his vision and "taking my father's philosophy of mall building and transforming a pretty bad borrow pit."
Before cutting the ribbon, Benderson showed off two dragon boats donated to the park by the company. One bright pink boat was named "Nate's Hope."
In October, Benderson Park will host the 2014 International Breast Cancer Paddlers' Commission Dragon Boat Festival.

2 Killed, 1 Critically Injured In Crash
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 10:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 11:45 a.m.
LAKELAND | Two people have died after a Lamborghini and a Nissan collided Sunday afternoon on a road near the future campus of Florida Polytechnic University.
Because of incorrect information received from the Lakeland Police Department, the name and age of the St. Petersburg driver injured in a car crash Sunday was incorrect. The driver has been identified as Chi Yan Chan, 43. The name has been corrected in the online version of the article.
A third person was in critical condition, Lakeland police said Sunday night.
About 3 p.m., Tiffany A. Beene, 24, of Kissimmee, was driving the green 2008 Lamborghini west along University Boulevard when the car crossed over the grass center median and into the path of a white 2013 Nissan driven by Chi Yan Chan of St. Petersburg. The two vehicles collided in the eastbound lanes, according to police.
Officers said debris from the wreck was found nearly 1,000 feet from the point of impact.
Beene and her passenger, Samuel Jonathan Hampton, 24, of Winter Haven, were transported to Lakeland Regional Medical Center. Lakeland police spokeswoman Ann Dinges said they both died Sunday evening of injuries sustained in the crash.
Chan, 43, also was transported to Lakeland Regional, and on Sunday evening he was in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, according to Dinges.
Chan's passenger, Tan Phan, 22, of Pinellas Park, was taken to Lakeland Regional with non-life-threatening injuries. He was treated and released from the hospital, police said.
Officers say there was no evidence of impairment, and all the people involved were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
The investigation is ongoing.
University Boulevard is a four-lane divided roadway, completed last year, that will provide access to Florida Polytechnic. It is intended to be a connection between Pace Road at the Polk Parkway and State Road 33.

With a history steeped in Dad Vail championships and being able claim the first sport at Marietta College, the men's rowing program is adding to its lore this year.
Of course, it may be one of its darkest moments.
Following a coaching change and a team rebellion, the once proud program has a minuscule roster of just six rowers.
"It's obviously taken a little bit of a set-back right now," said Larry Hiser, Director of Athletics. "But I know the current energy and effort that's being put in with the guys. I'm not expecting them to win Dad Vail gold, but I expect them to be competitive."
That's exactly what the former rowers had hoped for as well when they returned in the fall to compete for Phil Schmehl - who was hired after Chris Pucella resigned last spring.
Over the course of the fall season rowing times got slower, morale was dropping, and most notably; a team walkout decimated the roster from approximately 30 rowers to just six.
While Hiser and Schmehl did not want to comment on the circumstances of the team breakdown, several rowers felt the time was right to speak out on the situation.
So, what happened?
According to some former members of the team, there was an immediate frustration when Schmehl was announced as the new coach. Schmehl was the assistant coach to the Marietta College women's program since 2009, but several rowers believed he wasn't the ideal choice for the position.
"It's like taking an assistant Division III women's softball coach, and hiring him as the head Division I baseball coach," said former captain and sophomore Bert Lindamood, who is also the grandson of legendary Marietta rowing coach Ralph Lindamood. "Not to take away from our women's program, but we compete at much different levels."
The NCAA oversees women's rowing. Men's rowing teams do not fall under NCAA jurisdiction, and can compete as a varsity or club sport. However, men's programs must still abide by their school's rules for athletic competition; thus a Division III school like Marietta College cannot offer athletic scholarships to rowers while Division I and II programs can.
Marietta College is free to row against whomever they choose, club or varsity teams, and could qualify for the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships, where they could race Ivy League schools like Yale, Harvard or Princeton.
While the women's crew has been very successful, most recently having their varsity 8+ place fifth at the NCAA Championships, their major competitions are strictly against Division III schools. Marietta's men have claimed 39 Dad Vail championships, including five Heavyweight Varsity 8+ titles.
With this rich history in mind, rowers like Lindamood believed Marietta could attract a large applicant pool.
The athletic department finalized their search over the summer and narrowed it down to three candidates. According to Lindamood, Schmehl wasn't the top pick by the current rowers or the alumni. He was surprised when Schmehl was announced as the head coach on July 13.
"What upset a lot of people is that they think they should've hired someone externally," Lindamood said. "I have email evidence of some high quality coaches like (Drexel assistant) Joe Palmer and (Cal assistant coach) Luke Agnini '02 applying that weren't given a fair chance."
Hiser was confident then and remains so today that Marietta hired the right person.
"Coach Schmehl handled himself very professionally in his interviews. We liked that he pursued a Master's Degree (Exercise and Sports Studies), and he projected himself well to be the head coach of the men's program," he said.
Despite the rowers' disappointment, senior Nico Richey said the team approached the fall season with optimism. They were returning the bulk of a Dad Vail Championship boat with a strong group of incoming freshmen to contribute.
"We all kept an open mind," Richey said. "We thought we could work with this guy."
But over the course of several weeks the frustration among the rowers began to percolate. Lack of preparation for practices, poor training plans, and an increase of injuries were reasons cited by Richey and fellow senior Nate Porter as the reasons for the tension.
"We were going out on the water, but we weren't getting faster," Porter said. "I think we were actually digressing and getting slower."
Rowers became even more upset after the Head of the Ohio on Oct. 6, where the team performed well below their typical standards.
"We lost to teams like Pitt and (Ohio University), teams that we should never lose to," Lindamood said. "We were losing to teams that weren't even in the finals or semifinals of the Dad Vails. We were making these sacrifices with no reward."
Team captains decided to meet with Schmehl to discuss possible changes to his coaching style, but according to Lindamood, the new coach was not open to their suggestions.
Meanwhile, the team continued to compete. The team traveled to Boston to compete at the Head of the Charles on Oct. 20, where they again underperformed.
"We were lucky to be invited back," Lindamood said.
Things came to a tipping point with the dismissal of junior Dane Sellers from the team.
"I see Dane as kind of the catalyst," Porter said. "Everyone was getting more and more frustrated. And right before one of our most important lightweight races (The Bill Braxton Regatta), he cut one of our best lightweight rowers."
The rowers responded by having an "extensive team meeting" on deciding their future. The athletes individually decided to walkout of practice, leaving Richey, Lindamood and senior Connor Walters to deliver the news to the coaches.
Team captains then went to Hiser seeking some sort of resolution. Lindamood said the AD met with the captains and Schmehl. Hiser listened to their concerns and told the rowers they should work toward bringing the team back together. According to Lindamood, Hiser told the captains that if they were still unsatisfied they could speak to other members of Marietta College's administration, an option they did pursue.
Lindamood and Walters met with Dan Bryant, the Vice President of Administration and Finance. Bryant took notes on the team's issues, and passed their concerns along to Dr. Robert Pastoor, the Vice President of Student Life.
Lindamood and Walters each had separate meetings with Hiser and Pastoor, where they again voiced their concerns and tried to come to a resolution to get the team back on the water.
Hiser, who took the team's issues to President Joe Bruno's senior administration team, was supportive of Schmehl.
"I have come to the conclusion that Philip Schmehl is our rowing coach now and for the foreseeable future," said Hiser in an email to the men's rowing team. "We hired Phil to run the rowing program up to our department's standard of conduct. And while he and I acknowledge the need for improved communication, nothing in his program is baseless or without reason."
In this same email, Hiser gave Schmehl the authority to only invite back certain rowers to join the team. Six rowers accepted the offer.
"We feel so bad for the underclassmen," Richey said. "They came here to join the ranks, to join The Long Blue Line, and didn't get that at all."
Porter shares in Richey's disappointment.
"It's just a really frustrating situation," he said. "This is definitely not how I pictured my senior year going."
Schmehl declined to comment about the team's breakdown throughout the fall and is focusing on the future of the program. He does, however, approach his current rowers and the spring season with large amounts of optimism.
"I look at the positives about how the men are comporting themselves, that their training is improving, and the fact that we have some strong recruits," Schmehl said. "I have every reason for optimism."
The Men's Rowing Team will be back on the water March 23, as they will race a lone Varsity 4 against one of the school's biggest rivals Purdue at the MC-Purdue Challenge Cup. The roster currently includes junior Lida Sheng, sophomores Ben Fields, Jackson Herd and Colin Lancashire and freshmen Ruochen Shen and Patrick Specht.

With so many different styles of men's suits, there are some questions that are frequently asked.
The number of buttons on the front of a jacket largely depends on personal taste and body shape. Some men prefer a single button; this is ideal for men of a leaner figure, but may not be so flattering for those who are of a heavier build. This style draws attention to the stomach area, so can bulk out one's silhouette. Based on the dinner jacket and tuxedo style, one button suit jackets are usually seen as being more appropriate for evening wear rather than a day in the office, but they are being increasingly popular and fashionable. The norm is still, however, two or three buttons. Four buttons are not so common, and when they are seen they are usually used to make a fashion statement rather than being part of a man's professional wardrobe. They are better suited to tall, thin men.
Single breasted and double breasted refers to the number of rows of buttons down the front of a jacket. Like the number of buttons, this is a matter of personal taste and body shape. Larger men will typically look better in a single breasted jacket, as these provide a more slim line and streamlined shape.
Vents in men's suits are the small slits in the jacket. There may be one singular vent in the middle of the back part of the jacket or two side vents. It is possible to have jackets with no vents, but these are not so common. Vents make a suit more practical and comfortable, as they allow greater freedom of movement. They are also generally viewed as a sign of better tailoring.
Pleats in men's suits are somewhat dated, although some people still choose to have them in their trousers. They allow for greater movement, although they do have a tendency to draw attention to the area where they are found so can make people look bigger than they actually are.
Darker colours are usually used to make bespoke men's suits; traditionally, bespoke men's suits are black, navy blue or charcoal grey. Some lighter grey or brown suits can look very smart and stylish, but it is important to be aware of the environment where you will mostly wear your suit and any conventions relating to dress and formality. The most popular and versatile bespoke men's suits are those in dark grey or dark blue.
Tailor made bespoke men's suits will always ensure a better fit than a store bought mass produced garment. As to whether they are better overall, this is a question of how often and where you will wear the suit and how much you can realistically afford to spend. Custom made bespoke men's suits can prove to be quality investments over the years.
Everyone wants to go to work in business suits that make them look at their very best and feel good. They want to look smart and stylish, feel great and be comfortable in their work wear. After all, people spend a great deal of time wearing their professional apparel. Trends for bespoke suits for men come and go, with different fashions each season. Traditional business suits are often favoured because they will be as suitable for purpose in 5 years' time as they are when they are purchased. One trend that is on the increase though, and looks set to stay, is that of the slimmer fitting bespoke suits for men.
Men's tastes have changed, so rather than sticking with a suit style that conceals the body men are striking out and are keen to showcase their figures. There are a growing number of men who want their clothes to be fitted and tailored so as to enhance their physique rather than hiding it away. The popular overall look for business suits is a sleeker and slimmer look. Lapels are thinner and trouser legs are narrower. Trouser pleats are fast becoming a thing of the past. Older style suits are generally seen by modern men as being somewhat outdated. This change is suit style follows a general shift in men's habits and routines. Modern men exercise more than previous generations, and it can be argued that they take more interest and pride in their appearance. Rather than just wanting to look average, men now want to look exceptional. Slimmer tailored suits usually make men who do not take regular exercise also look better than large roomy suits.
The popular fabrics and colours for business suits have remained the same. The main differences are concerning the cuts.
The younger generation of men sport bespoke suits for men outside of the office. They are keen to dress to impress, both in and out of work. As a result, older generations are starting to sit up and pay attention, so their attitudes towards clothing and appearances are also beginning to change.
Slim fitting business suits can be made with double breasted or single breasted jackets, different numbers of buttons down the front, cuffs on the trousers, different styles of pockets, and all the same design features as other suits.
To really make slim fit bespoke suits for men look great, team them with slim fitting shirts. A good suit and a good coordinating shirt can really make a man look fantastic. The overall appearance is much leaner and trimmer, as well as smart, modern, stylish, professional and trendy.
My Suit Shop can create excellent business suits for people from all walks of life and professions. They can also make some great quality shirts to team with your new suits. Try a different cut and be amazed at the difference it can make. Smile knowingly when people compliment you on your new appearance. Feel like the million dollar man in a great slim cut suit. Imagine the pleasure that can come from having fantastic business suits in your life.
Men's suits can have jackets that have one, two, three or four buttons. Four buttons is not common, with such jackets often being considered as old fashioned and outdated. The norm is two or three buttons, with people basing their preferences largely on their body shape. Bespoke men's suits with one button jackets are being more and more seen, on the catwalk, at social events, on the High Street and in the office.
Previously, one button bespoke men's suits were generally seen as being more formal and having connections with high fashion. They were not thought of as practical or suitable office suits. Attitudes are changing, and men can make a statement in the work place, stand out from the crown and break away from the sartorial herd in a dashing one button suit.
A jacket with one button gives the appearance of wider shoulders and a broader chest. It draws attention away from the hips and focuses the viewer's eyes upwards. One button suits create more of a masculine appearance. Because there is more open area, not covered by the closed part of a jacket, one button suits can also be unforgiving for men with larger stomachs. For larger set men, it would probably be best to stick with the traditional two or three button bespoke men's suits. Suits with one button typically look better on leaner men with a slim or athletic build.
Narrow lapels, narrow shirt collars and narrow neck ties work well with one button suits. Straight leg and slim fit trousers also help to create an overall stream-lined look. One should use minimal accessories. Bold ties should be avoided; rely on the jacket to make the statement and do not go overboard with a load and bright tie. Don't use tie pins, lapel pins, collar bars or other such extra accessories. The overall look should be simple rather than excessive. Avoid having jackets cut too short; longer jackets look better when only one button is used.
Wool or silk are the classic fabrics when making men's suits with one button. Dark block colours work best, and with the exception of an executive style pinstripe, all patterns should be avoided. This is in keeping with the simple, understated and minimalist effect one should hope to achieve when wearing such a suit.
One button bespoke men's suits are becoming real contenders for office attire, and their effect should not be underestimated. They can look sleek, polished, professional and elegant.
As with any suit of any style, a good fit is imperative. Having bespoke men's suits custom made can guarantee a perfect fit, whether you choose to try a one button suit or otherwise. My Suit Shop has a great selection of men's suits that can be custom made to your requirements.
A useful convention to remember when sporting a one button suit is that the button should always be fastened when standing, and unfastened when seated. This will help you to look like a well groomed one button pro, and wear one button bespoke men's suits well.
