Dwayne Allen is awesome.
We've already talked about his season and how great he was as a rookie. But as a person, Allen has the makings of a life-long Colt, a player that embodies the soul of Indianapolis and the Colts. He was recently invited to the 2013 rookie symposium to talk the new class, sharing his experiences from his rookie experience just a year ago. What he had to say was very cool:
"A lot of people are afraid of the words, 'Oh man, you different,'" Allen said. "You damn right I'm different. You damn right I'm different. I got a lot more money in my pocket, and a lot more sense. That's the way you got to go about it.
"If you just turn on your TV to ESPN, this is a brotherhood. This is a brotherhood. One of our brothers in trouble right now. It really hurts me, man. But one of our brothers is in trouble right now because he didn't want to be different. You got to make a choice right now. …You're not the same dude you was when you grew up. You different now. That doesn't mean you can't hang out with your boys, do things you used to do with your boys. You still do those, but you got to be smart about it, smart about your decisions, man."

Men's Fashion Book Guide – 100 Books For Your Menswear Library
As you may know, I have a substantial archive of magazines, books, and photographs related to menswear from the late 19th century through the present day.
While I try to bundle as much information as I can into my posts on the Gentleman's Gazette, quite a few of you seem inspired by it and often ask what books I can recommend about classic men's fashion and clothing. Since I have so many, it was always difficult for me to say, and so finally I invested some time into curating a list of 100 books from my collection that I can recommend. Some of you may be interested in creating a library of your own, while others want to learn more about men's clothing or maybe just investigate a specific detail. I tried compile a list that is clear and useful, and I am certain there is something in it for everybody. Of course, only few of you will want to buy a 100 books, and so I rated the importance of each book in the grander scheme of things.
To facilitate the process of finding the right book for you, I created a table with the 100 titles that contains just the basic information. In addition, I added the following functions:
1. Search: Just type in a keyword at the top right, hit enter and see what comes up
2. Sorting: You can sort the books by title, author, genre or importance, so you can quickly find what's right for you
3. Pages: You can choose on the top left, whether you want to see 10, 25, 50 or all 100 books at once, so it's up to you whether you want to scroll or not. If you display less than 100, you can still sort or just click through the various pages on the bottom right.
Let me round out my introduction with a caveat. Naturally, this list is just my personal opinion. It only contains English language books, and it is by no means definitive. I simply selected the ones that I thought are most useful to you, and as such I omitted all dissertations since they are often very focused on just one particular matter and too academic for most people to enjoy. Moreover, I dismissed a few titles that I don't think are worth reading, and sorted out others that were too specialalized. However, if you think I must have missed something, please let me know, and I will add it if I think it makes sense.
To ensure that you won't be surprised or disappointed of the books, I wrote a few comments about each book, that you can find underneath the following table in alphabetical order.

Gentlemen of The Golden Age by Sven Raphael Schneider
Learn from the men who wore Classic Clothing best.
How To…
Improve Your Style
Look & Feel Better
…and much more!
A Gentleman's Wardrobe by Paul Keers
A clothing guide from the late 1980's on 120 pages – nothing revolutionary new but he mentions a few things that you won't find in Flusser's must-haves.
A History of Men's Fashion by Farid Chenoune
In my opinion a must have, because Farid Chenoune really dives in deep to the matter of men's clothing history and although not a dissertation, it is academically sound. He provides a wealth of helpful pictures and explains how menswear evolved, especially over the last 200 years from a French perspective.
A Man's Book by Jane Waller
Great book about men's fashion in the 1920's and 1930's.
A Style Is Born by Anderson & Sheppard
I would call this a vanity book by the bespoke tailor shop that prides itself on the drape cut. Apart from beautiful pictures and tidbits about the history, you will also find a large section on customers and how they wear A&S suits. For more information, take a look at my review.
A Well Dressed Gentleman's Pocket Guide by Oscar Lenius
A pocket guide by the German haberdasher SøR that will be helpful to the one who wants to learn about classic men's clothing without becoming overwhelmed.
ABCs of Men's Fashion by Hardy Amies
Encyclopedically structured book from with subjective focus on terms related to men's fashion from A to Z with helpful advice.
Accessories by F. Volker Feyerabend
Bilingual (English & German) book full of illustrations of accessories for men and women that will be interesting to designers.
Antique Cufflinks 1860 – 1960 by Guy-David Lambrechts
Coffee table book with several thousand high quality pictures of cuff links by the Belgian collector Guy-David Lambrechts. For more information, click here.
Apparel Arts: Fashion is the News by Giannino Malossi & A. Shugaar
Very rare book about the famous magazine Apparel Arts that I cite quite frequently. Although, just a small fraction of the magazines illustrations are the subject matter of this book, it provides some commentary about the period and its style. If you can get your hand on one of these, grab it and if you don't like it, you can always sell it to us.
Bert Bacharach's Book For Men by Bert Bacharach
159 page clothing guide from the 1950's written by an American fashion editor. Interesting tidbits and rules in an easy to read format.
Bespoke by Anderson Richard Anderson
Autobiography / vanity book of a Savile Row establishment.
Bespoke James Sherwood
Picture driven coffee table book about the tailoring houses on Savile Row.
The manufacture of Boots and Shoes F.Y. Golding
Interesting insights into how quality shoes used to be made. Considering it is free, there is no reason not to take a look at it.
British Military Uniforms by James Laver
Small book with illustrations about glorious British Military Uniforms – definitely only of interest to the advanced clothes enthusiast.
Cary Grant: A Celebration of Style Richard Torregrossa
Book about the stylish actor.
Churchill Style by Barry Singer
Analysis and biography about the style of Winston Churchill, for more information, take a look here.
Classic Tailoring Techniques by Cabrera Roberto Cabrera
A book for people interested in the tailoring aspect of men's clothing.
Clothes And The Man Sidney by D. Barney
Small British clothing guide with interesting tidbits and tables about what to wear on what occasion. Take a look at my review.
Clothes And The Man by Alan Flusser
I consider it to be a must have because Alan Flusser probably sold the most books worldwide about men's fashion, and although not his first book, this one is the foundation of his fame.
Brioni by Farid Chenoune
Little book with some insights to the famous Roman tailoring house.
Buttons & Sundries by Vittoria De Buzzaccarini
Niche book, just about buttons.
Clothes Cleaning and Renovating Allen and Vincent
Old British book about how to get rid of stains and dirt as well as how to rejuvenate fabrics. Very interesting to see what was used to clean clothes back in the day with quite a bit of advice on how to do it.
Collars, Stocks, Cravats: A history and costume dating guide to civilian men's neckpieces by Doriece Colle
The title says it all.
Colored Gemstones: The Antoinette Matlins Buying Guide byAntoinette Matlins
Although gemstones are primarily the domain of the ladies, some men like rings and cuff links and this book gives you a good understanding of what to look for and how to spot fakes or inferior quality stones.
Cowboys & Hatters by Debbie Henderson
Well researched book by an academic about the origins and making of the cowboy hat, the Stetson myth and in depth interviews with old hatter personalities.
Cuff Jewelry Howard Bell Jr.
Self published book from the 1990's about cuff links, with quite a bit of photography.
Cuff Links Susan Jonas and Marilyn Nissenson
Good book about cuff links and its history but not as many pictures as antique cuff links.
Cuff Links Bertrand Pizzin and Jean-Noel Liaut
Probably the weakest cuff link book of all the listed options, but since there is not much out there, I still put it on the list.
Diamonds: The Antoinette Matlins Buying Guide by Antoinette Matlins
Diamond knowledge will never hurt, no matter whether you look for a precious piece for your sweetheart or for a nice set of dress studs.
Divinely Elegant: The world of Ernst Dryden by Anthony Lipmann
Biography about fashion illustrator and stylist Ernst Dryden-Deutsch, who helped brands like Knize to become famous.
Dressing in the Dark by Marion Maneker
Unlike the title may imply, this is not a book about what not to wear but rather an examination of men's clothes worn in films.
Dressing The Man by Alan Flusser
Probably one of the most popular men's clothing guide books out there. Full of beautiful pictures and advice, this book is a good start to the collection of a clothes enthusiast. However, I noticed many consider what Flusser says to like the holy standard, however I think it pays to also learn in the process that there are many exceptions to there " rules". I have better books in German but I consider it nevertheless a must have because, all other English clothing guides are judged compared to Dressing the Man.
Elegance: A Guide to Quality in Menswear
Mr. Boyer is a better writer than Mr. Flusser in my humble opinion and so if you like well written essays, Boyer will never disappoint you. This guide focuses on the basics with humor and wit.
ELEGANCE AND STYLE TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF MEN'S FASHION by Vittoria De Buzzaccarini
Big Italian coffee table book about male elegance that provides an interesting Italian perspective that American / English speaking natives usually don't have.
Eminently Suitable by Bruce Boyer
This 206-page guide from the 1990's is aimed at businessmen who wish to dress for success. In eight chapters, Boyer touches history and advice on men's clothing, provides a brief glossary of style terminology, and it contains a now outdated appendix on men's clothing stores.
Esquire's Encyclopedia of 20th Century Men's Fashions Oscar E. Schoeffler
The most comprehensive book in English about men's fashion of the 20th Century. Written by Esquire and Apparel Arts veterans, it contains a lot of information about every aspect of men's clothing divided into chapters by subject, and time as well as a glossary at the end of the book. Of course, everything in this 1970's book as a heavy American influence but it is still a must have. At times, this book can cost over $1000 but sometimes you can find it for $100. Most are priced somewhere in between.
Fashion by F. Volker Feyerabend
German / English book about fashion styles and cuts using modern fashion illustrations only.
Fashion Dictionary by Guido Vergani
Fashion dictionary including designers, some tailors and garments but not complete and clearly inferior to the German fashion dictionary by Ingrid Loschek. Unfortunately, there is nothing better, which is why it is listed here.
Fashion For Men Diana De Marly
Good for you if you are interested in men's fashion in the medieval times and subsequent centuries and how it developed over time.
Fred Astaire Style Bruce Boyer
Small book about Fred Astaire and his style.
Fashion in Film by Regine Engelmeier and Peter W. Engelmeier
Pictures of silver screen stars from a great archive.

Same as above just for the time period of 1900 – 1950.
Handmade Shoes for Men Laszlo Vass
The first book about quality shoes for consumers.
Harris Tweed by Platman by Lara Platman
Book about the craftsmen on the Isle of Harris and their process of creating the famous cloth but not much on the sheep.
Hat Talk Debbie Henderson
Great book about quality hat making. For mere see here.
History of Men's Fashion Nicholas Storey
Title a bit misleading but still an interesting British read. Full review here.
History of Men's Accessoires Nicholas Storey
Second part of the series about traditional accessories for the British gentleman. In depth review here.
Icons of Film: The 20th Century by Peter W. Engelmeier

It was republished not too long ago with a few updates here and there, but overall there is not noticable difference. So if you have the old version, don't upgrade.

Only last year Carrie Underwood admitted to being "horrible around guys" – but that was then.
Now the country crooner, 24, seems to be finding her stride, with Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford.
"He's really cute," Underwood recently told PEOPLE of the 22-year-old Texas-born actor. "I've met him and he seems like a really nice guy. He's got cool hair, he's a nice height and he just has beautiful blue eyes."
The pair stopped by Manhattan's Marquee nightclub last Friday, then popped into Gramercy Park Hotel's hip Rose Bar on Saturday night.
"At one point, they were holding hands, off to the side of the table, like they didn't want people to see," says an observer.
Earlier this year, the American Idol champ and Academy of Country Music and Country Music Television Video Award winner was linked to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Underwood is also nominated for three CMA awards this year.
Her rep declined to comment on the relationship.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum will continue its outdoor film series tonight with Pixar's Oscar-winning animated feature "Up" at 8 p.m.
The museum will show nine more movies on a 45-foot screen at the former Queen City Pool beginning this spring and will screen one film every Friday night in June and July. See the remainder of the schedule below.
The series was meant to have kicked off last week with Steven Spielberg's adventure classic "Raiders of the Lost Ark," but weather canceled the screening. Tonight's screening is still scheduled to take place, but the forecast does call for some rain.
"Up" tells the unusual but sweet tale of the elderly Carl (Ed Asner) who sets out for the adventure he promised his late wife Ellie when they were newlyweds. He gets more than he bargained for, flying his lifetime home all the way to South America where he encounters exotic animals, dangerous explorers and a motor-mouthed but good-natured boy scout tag-along.
Pete Docter wrote and directed this emotional family hit that'll have you wiping away your tears during its opening 10 minutes when you see the beautiful story of Carl and Ellie's marriage. Thanks in part to Michael Giacchino's Oscar-winning music and Docter's moving imagery, it will floor you.
Visitors can bring blankets, lawn chairs, picnics and coolers with non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. The admission cost is $5 per group, with a maximum of seven people per group.
Here's the list of the films featured in the Transportation Museum's outdoor movie series:
May 17: "Up" (2009) -- PG
June 7: "North by Northwest" (1959)
June 14: "It Happened One Night" (1934)
June 21: "Airplane!" (1980) -- PG
June 28: "The Goonies" (1985) -- PG
July 5: "Cloud Atlas" (2012) -- R
July 12: "The Train" (1964)
July 19: "The Time Machine" (1960)
July 26: "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (1968) -- G

Students for Academic Freedom
1015 15th Street, NW, #900
Washington, DC 20005
Founded: by David Horowitz in June 2003
National Campus Director: Sara Dogan (formerly Sara Russo)
Affiliated with: David Horowitz, Center for the Study of Popular Culture, and Frontpagemag.com.
SAF's Issues:
- SAF was created as part of a campaign by David Horowitz to pass the "Academic Bill of Rights" and combat liberalism and Democrats on college and university campuses.
- SAF's founder David Horowitz claims that American colleges and universities are "indoctrination centers for the political left" and that many higher education professors "hate America."
- SAF suggests that students investigate the professors at their schools for "bias" by searching voter registration records, create a spreadsheet of the data and send it to SAF.
- SAF claims that conservative students and professors are "blacklisted" at their colleges and universities.
SAF's Activities:
- SAF is promoting the "Academic Bill of Rights" nationwide to pressure schools that receive state funding to implement affirmative action-like programs to hire conservative professors. SAF claims that Georgia, Colorado and Mississippi are "on the verge" of getting legislators and university boards to ratify the bill. According to SAF, "Our goal is to get more than 500,000 signatures — 10,000 per state — to present to lawmakers, alumni, regents and administrations across the nation!"
- SAF organizes campus chapters. As of June 2004 they list chapters at 135 schools nationwide, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Duke, Brown, UCLA, UC-Berkeley, U. Wisconsin-Madison, Missouri, Emory, Georgia Tech, Michigan and American University.
- SAF distributes and promotes the booklet "Unpatriotic University" which Horowitz describes as "a wealth of information about the bias in hiring, the anti-American rhetoric, and the shutting out of conservative points of view both in classrooms and on speakers' platforms." (Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture publishes the booklet.)
- Promotes Front Page Magazine's book store which includes titles such as David Horowitz's "Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes," books by Charles Murray, Sean Hannity, Daniel Pipes, as well as many anti-Islam and anti-Clinton books. Front Page Magazine publishes controversial columnist Ann Coulter.

The Effect of Diabetes On Your Eyes
Diabetes is a very serious condition that affects hundreds of thousands of people every year throughout the world. A person with diabetes suffers from higher than healthy blood sugar levels as a result of the body's inability either to produce a sufficient amount of insulin or properly absorb the insulin being produced. Unfortunately, beyond the high blood sugar that is a direct result of diabetes, many complications arise as an indirect result of diabetes, particularly when it comes to a person's eyes.

Police say a metro woman was driving drunk with two children in her car Wednesday night.
Jennifer Wright, 31, was pulled over for an illegal left turn at Southwest 44th Street and Ross Avenue. An officer said he witnessed Wright pouring a beer into her purse and found an open container of beer in a cup holder in the front seat.
After failing a field sobriety test, Wright was placed under arrest and the children, ages 6 and 1, were placed in the custody of Wright's fiancé.
Wright was arrested on complaints of child endangerment, DUI, transporting an open container of beer and an illegal left turn.

Part 2. sp2 Hybridization of Carbon
sp2 hybridization is best illustrated using ethene, C2H4. The carbon atoms in this molecule are sp2 hybridized.
Remember that left over p orbital on each carbon atom? These two now overlap to produce another bond between the carbon atoms. This "pi" bind and the C-C sigma bond constitute the double bond between the carbons. Note the extra electron density between the carbons.
Cool, eh?

The new job for Bedford's new postmaster represents both something new and a lot that's familiar.
Cindy Sours took charge on Sept. 3, replacing May Massie who retired this year. She comes from the Rocky Mount post office where she served as the supervisor. According to Sours, the supervisor is the second in command at the post office, working directly under the postmaster. So, becoming Bedford's postmaster was a step up for her.
For the second year in a row, Jefferson Forest High School's (JFHS) marching band will be represented in the U. S. Army All-American Marching Band. The Band performs at the U. S. Army All-American Bowl during half-time on Jan. 9.
The Waynesboro Players, a community theater group in Waynesboro is kicking off its season with a play about Bedford's D-Day experience.
It's called "Tuesday Mourning" and it got started when Duane Hahn read Alex Kershaw's book "The Bedford Boys." Hahn has been with the Waynesboro Players for 40 years and has written plays before. The book inspired him to do a play about these men.
Since a major fire derailed Olde Liberty Station, efforts have been underway to help the restaurant's staff who were left unemployed. Corey Crompton, the city's IT manager, notes that unemployment benefits don't do much for waiters and waitresses. Crompton said that the fire affected 50 people.
Crompton's involvement in this effort is as a member of the band Generic Folk, one of three bands that will perform a benefit concert for Olde Liberty Station employees at the Bower Center on Nov. 14.
Almost half of the D-Day Memorial Foundation's 24 full- and part-time employees have been laid off as a result of cost-cutting measures, according to Foundation Director Dr. William McIntosh.
Eleven employees were notified last week about the decision.
"Everybody has had their hours reduced already," McIntosh said. "We have had a gradual reduction in benefits that has played out through this calendar year."
Last Thursday the Bedford County School Board worked through two draft plans for future facility needs for the school system, tentatively agreeing to one that calls for construction of a new middle school in the Liberty zone, as well as the expansion and renovation of Bedford Elementary and Forest Middle schools.
In all, the plan accounts for about $50 million in construction costs with another $6 million proposed for new Central Office space.
City of Bedford School Board member Mickey VanDerwerker asked the most relevant question during last Thursday's Bedford County School Board meeting to discuss a long-range facilities plan for the school system: "What are we going to do about the gymnasium at Bedford Primary now?"
But instead of answers, there are still only questions. And the sad news is the students at Bedford Primary are the ones suffering. It's time for the county and school board to stop putting a decision off and to take steps to solve this problem.
A tyrant
The president of the United States, Barak Obama, is a tyrant. There, I said it. Before you go on about what a hysterical overstatement that is, or that I am some kind of overzealous, right wing bigot, let's look at some recent moves by the White House.
Last week, a new version of health care reform legislation was unveiled in the U.S. House. I was pleased to see major changes in the bill that move us in the right direction. Though I was unsatisfied with the original bill, I've been working hard for reforms that I can support, because doing nothing would mean that premiums would double over the next decade for the middle class and small business owners. I argued that we could reduce skyrocketing premiums, bring the uninsured into the system, and reduce the federal deficit through an emphasis on prevention and increasing competition.
During the Presidential election campaign then Senator Obama called for transparency in the legislative process, even promising that health care reform negotiations would be "televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies."

I have just read Al Barkins' Guest Opinion, "Making our streets safe," in which he expresses his views on gun control.
He starts off OK, but he goes downhill rapidly after the first three or so paragraphs. He appears to be a fairly intelligent person honestly looking for a middle ground on gun control. He states that the National Rifle Association is "right on" when it states that the myriad state laws regulating gun control haven't made a significant dent in this carnage. Yet he proposes more laws against the sportsmen.

|Senth's Story
|Senth Antonello
I've added letters to the lines, and I'll mention the characterization by referring to the letter of the line. Ready? Here goes...
A. At the home of Master's first protégé, Senth gave the familial knock, and the door swung open without light escaping. Last in, Khyff barred it.
B. "What brings you?" Aida asked, hugging Senth.
C. Khyff kept his distance, arms folded.
D. "We were in the neighborhood." He kissed the woman he loved like a sister. "And, uh" -- He glanced at Khyff and then shrugged -- "we're hungry."
E. "You timed it well." Aida ruffled his hair. "I just pulled bread out of the oven."
F. In her tiny kitchen, she set fragrant yeast bread on the table. "Get the butter and honey, Senth. Khyff, you pour us milk." She grabbed a long knife and three smaller ones for buttering, and set out plates. "Okay, let's eat up. I knew I felt like baking for a reason." She cut open the rounded loaf, and as steam rose from it, Senth licked his lips.
G. "Now," she said, serving them, "where are you headed next?"
H. "Master wants me to meet him at The Ghost."
I. "The Ghost?" Aida put down the butter knife, and stared at him. "Senth, are you sure Master wants you there?"
J. "Told you." Khyff smirked.
K. The bread halfway to his mouth, Senth paused to scorch them both with a look. "What is it with you two? Master said to get Khyff and come back with him. He said he had a job for me, and Khyff's my shield." He gestured with the bread. "What's so bad about the Ghost?"
L. "You shouldn't be in places like that. I have half a mind to give Master a talking to."
M. Khyff turned his head.
N. "You think I wouldn't?" she asked him.
O. "He knows you would," Senth replied. "And only you. He'd eat anyone else alive."
P. She snorted. "Wait right here."
Q. Khyff sent Senth a questioning glance. Senth just shrugged.
R. Aida returned with a shirt. "I got a load of these, and I'm fencing the rest tomorrow. Your timing really is good, I'll give you that. Here." She tossed the shirt to Khyff.
S. He looked down at himself. "What's wrong with the shirt I have?"
T. "It's leather. You can't wear that to the Ghost. It's a Kin club."
U. "All the Kin wear leather," he countered.
V. "Yes, and you're human."
W. Khyff folded his brawny arms. "I can take care of myself."
X. "Besides, the last three times you were here you wore that shirt."
Y. "So? I like it."
Z. One foot tapped. "You want Master to smell that perfume?"
AA. Khyff's nostrils flared. He looked away, frowning, but the shirt came off.
BB. Aida gestured. "Better seal that shirt up all the way."
CC. "Yeah," Senth agreed. "You want women gawking at your chest?"
DD. Khyff opened his mouth to speak, but Aida shot him a look.
EE. He sealed it.
FF. "Thanks, Aida," Senth said, kissing her cheek. "We'd better scat. Master's waiting. We'll come for Khyff's shirt in the morning."
- - -
Describing the Characterization Used
1. (A) This "family" has a special knock to announce their arrival. The door opens without revealing light. The last in bars the door. These thieves are careful and they know the routine.
2. (C) Khyff doesn't allow himself to be hugged, and folds his arms -- a defensive posture.
3. (D) Senth shoots a glance toward Khyff before he admits they are hungry. Whether he's gaining approval or forgiveness isn't certain.
4. (F) They do not have riches. Her kitchen is tiny, and she is serving them only bread with butter and honey, and milk to drink. Each of them accepts direction from her without quibbling, and neither complains about the sparse fare.
5. (I) Aida questions the choice of the Ghost. We don't know anything about the location yet, except from the reaction of Aida and Khyff, but we know it's an unsavory place.
6. (K) Senth doesn't take this lying down. He's been asked to do something and he's intent on proving he is capable of carrying it out. The others imply he is innocent or young, or both.
7. (L) Aida suggests giving the Master a talking to, and Khyff reacts by looking away. When she questions him, Senth speaks for him.
8. (P) When she leaves the room, the boys have no idea why, but they wait for her.
9. (R) She gives Khyff a shirt and he wants to know what's wrong with the one he has (typical young person)
10. Khyff argues with Aida, but she brings up valid points, the last being that he smells like perfume, and we get the idea that the Master will not approve.
11. He then argues about sealing up or buttoning the shirt.
12. Aida shoots him a look that silences him. There are several unspoken cues in this scene, many directed toward Khyff.
13. Senth shows manners, thanking her, and not wanting to keep the master waiting. Where did he learn these? We find out later in the book.
This is not a bad scene. It shows the routine of a family of thieves and gives insight into each of the characters. So why cut it? For one, I later decided that rather than having Khyff and Senth live together under the same roof, they would belong to different masters, and had been separated by birth. They had recently found each other. Aida had no other parts in the story, so I cut her completely. And because Khyff was not a thief in the new version, but a prostitute, it wouldn't have mattered to him that his shirt smelled like perfume. Cutting it provided a stronger story overall.

To some, the solution to the global food crisis is to go vegetarian. For others, it is to produce fewer babies. For Dr Mark Post, the best response is 3,000 thin strips of muscle, which are currently filling their days flexing in a Maastricht laboratory.
In October these artificially engineered beef muscles will cease flexing. They will be taken out of their nutrient soup, ground into granules, and then — after five years' work and more than £200,000 of investment — be made into the world's most expensive burger.

TENNERTON - Buckhannon-Upshur's Mackenzie Leigh will look to defend her state championship in the discus and pick up a title in the shot put when the 100th running of the state track meet begins today at Laidley Field in Charleston.
"She's a really hard working athlete who spends a lot of extra time working on her strength and conditioning," B-U girls track coach Jackie Zuliani said. "She's an all-around great kid. She's been setting goals since her freshman year. She wants to be the best. She's got some competition, so we'll see how it goes. She's very determined, though."
Leigh won the Big 10 Championship in the shot put and discus the past two years. Her best discus throw is 139-8 feet and her best effort in the shot put is 41-11 1/2.

Buckhannon-Upshur's Mackenzie Leigh will defend her title in the discus when the state meet begins today at Charleston's Laidley Field.
"I'm very excited to try for another state championship," Leigh said. "I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm nervous for the shot put, but it's mine to win and theirs to lose. I'm just going to do my best and the rest will take care of itself."
Leigh, who helped the Bucs capture the Class AAA state team title last spring, has signed a letter of intent to continue her track career next season as Ashland University in Ohio. She also participates in volley ball, earning all-state second-team honors and first team Big 10 laurels.
Leigh will be joined in Charleston by teammates Courtney Reed (100 hurdles), Katy Riley (100 hurdles, pole vault), Leah Stankus (300 hurdles), the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams, Megan Wilfong (shot put, discus) and Kayla Woody (discus).
B-U boys competing are Marcus Lofton (100, 200), Brandon Mallett (400), Seth Cutright (400), Blake Wolverton (110 hurdles) and the 4x100, 4x200, 4x400 and shuttle hurdles relay teams.
Lewis County's Dustin Martin, meanwhile, is the favorite in the 110 hurdles, and also will compete in the 300 hurdles and high jump.
Brandon Robinson (discus, shot put), Skyler Carlton (long jump) and Brandon Moneypenny (long jump) will join Martin at states for the Minutemen.

Jan. 25, 1930 – Feb. 8, 2013
James Francis Ryan Jr., a veteran of the Korean War and past commander of Troop I Post, American Legion, died Friday while under Hospice care at his home in West Seneca following a battle with cancer. He was 83.
Mr. Ryan was born in Buffalo and attended Holy Family School and St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute, where he was voted most handsome senior.
He enlisted in the Air Force in 1950 and served as a radio interceptor for the Air Force Security Service while in Korea, Japan and China. He was awarded the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal, the Good Conduct Medal and the National Defense Service Medal.
After his honorable discharge, Mr. Ryan began his career in insurance. For many years, he worked at Merchants Mutual Insurance Company. It was there that he met the former Gladys Fechter, who would become his wife and mother of four children.
He later bought his own insurance agency with two friends, forming Stanton, Dauer & Ryan. He retired in 1997 and enjoyed playing golf, going to Bills games with his daughter Kathleen and attending family events with his eight grandchildren.
Mr. Ryan was active with the Troop I Post and served as commander from 1999 to 2002. He spent many hours coordinating fundraising activities, including the St. Patrick's Day party and Allentown Weekend, and enjoyed playing the role of Santa Claus at the annual children's Christmas party.
In addition to his wife of 57 years and his daughter, Mr. Ryan is survived by two other daughters, Susan and Julia; a son, James; and three sisters, Janet Jacobi, Maureen McCafferty and Kay Schlehr.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered 9 a.m. Monday in Queen of Heaven Church in West Seneca.


text: Art can make for a memorable experience – such is the case of artist Jack Dollhausen's work. Walking into Seattle's Center of Contemporary Art Gallery back in 1990, my husband and I noticed peculiar flashing lights and mumbling sounds coming from a framed art piece on the wall. As we walked closer the mumbling became louder and the lights more animated until we stood in front of it. Greeted with a loud, mechanical sounding voice stating "You are too close", both of us burst out laughing by our surprise greeting from an art piece. Playing with the piece, we moved all over the gallery, listening for different sounds and seeing light patterns change with our proximity. The art was sensing our motions and became a mesmerizing and entertaining piece. Regretfully, the timing was wrong to purchase this playful piece of art but one day I hope to have a Jack Dollhausen original on my wall. Check out more of Jack Dollhausen's work at www.jackdollhausen.com or view a video of Jack in his studio on NW Profiles: Living Machines.

Get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Q:Is it easy to cut without ruining it?
1 answer
A:Yes. You can use scissors to cut the floral sheeting.
Q:How many rolls do you need to cover a 16 ft trailer?
1 answer
A:You would need (2) 5 yd rolls. That would give you 30 feet of floral sheeting to work with but 1 roll would only give you 15 feet.
Q:How does the fringe and sheeting hold up going on a main road to get to the town of parage?
1 answer
A:As long as you secure the materials to the trailer, they will hold up when driving down the road.
Q:Does the dark blue floral sheeting match the dark blue vinyl fringe?
1 answer
A:These are from different vendors so we cannot guarantee the color match.
Q:it was 6.99 last year and is 29.99 this year? what happened?
1 answer
A:This used to be sold per yard only. We now sell this in 5 yard rolls therefore the price is cheaper.
Q:How many yards come on one roll?
1 answer
A:Our floral sheeting is sold by the yard. You can pick how many yards you wish to receive.
Q:Does this blue match the blue on the R/W/B vinyl fringe? If not, do you have a matching blue? Is this "plastic"?
1 answer
A:This floral sheeting is made of vinyl. We cannot guarantee an exact color match due to varying dye lots from our vendor, however, the dark blue floral sheeting will be the closest match in color.

Early voters might need to find a new place to cast their ballots in the upcoming El Paso County elections.
Voters can still vote at the standard early voting locations. But county commissioners said Monday that the mobile sites used in past elections might invite a biased voting pool.
Commissioners want to get away from using churches, medical facilities and credit unions. They fear the privately operated mobile voting sites could draw a partisan voting base and sway elections.
"I think it can have an impact," said Precinct Three Commissioner Patrick Abeln. "When you look at the number of voters that we have in El Paso, it's a very small number. I wish we had a lot more people that turned out than do. So I think a location that's not content-neutral could have an impact, absolutely."
Commissioners approved plans Monday to stick with city buildings like recreation centers and libraries. One key was making sure the mobile sites are near public transit routes.
"We want to make sure all our voters have transportation," said Elections Administrator Javier Chacon. "They have to use public transportation to get to these locations, and that's why it's important that we make sure that there is a bus stop or a public transportation that is going by near for the public to use."
Early polls are open Feb. 18 to 28. Election day is March 4.
"People still have their own mind and the way they want to vote," Chacon said. "So far the sites that we have used in the past have been very good, and we have had no concerns -- no problems with them."
The court will meet Thursday to approve one final mobile site, with a simple goal in mind.
"I'd like to see sights last a long time," Abeln said. "So when the public gets used to some place, that's where they go, and it reoccurs year after year. So that we don't have to suddenly say, 'Where do I vote now?'"

The State of Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Report from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and its Foundation discusses the current realities of kids' and families' eating and activity behaviors in the US and how they relate to the prevalence of obesity and malnourishment, as well as unique opportunities and strategies to improve the health of our nation's youth.
The findings provide a foundation for the recently launched Kids Eat Right campaign, a joint Academy/Foundation initiative designed to promote healthy eating and prevent childhood obesity by enlisting registered dietitians and mobilizing the Academy's 71,000 members in public education projects and programs. The report outlines the need for quality nutrition in addressing the complex state of children's health as they contend with under-nutrition and overweight and obesity. The two-tiered Kids Eat Right program also aims to be a useful resource for parents and families, by providing the public with free food and nutrition information backed by professional registered dietitians on the consumer website, www.KidsEatRight.org. The site (and accompanying social media presence on Facebook and Twitter) offers tips, articles, recipes and videos to help families shop smart, cook healthy and eat right.
The Family Nutrition and Physical Activity study was first conducted in 2003. The resulting tools have been validated and used in research by RDs for more than five years. Academy members are encouraged to use the report and its support materials to bring attention to quality nutrition and children's health.

Arizona on Thursday didn't look like a team that had lost five of its last 10 games entering the NCAA tournament. In dispatching 11th-seeded Belmont 81-64 in the Round of 64 – shooting better than 56 percent and controlling the backboards (44-18) in the process -- the No. 6 Wildcats performed much more like the higher seed they were expected to be back when they began January undefeated.

In a tough match that saw Heidelberg get its first points when 133-pounder Colin McDermitt won a medical forfeit over the Comets' Robbie Bidlingmaier, Olivet was able to build a comfortable lead that proved insurmountable, even after HU won the last two matches by major decision.
Still, it was the first collegiate win for McDermitt.
"I would have liked to see Colin's match go further, but he got a win," Heidelberg coach Ned Shuck said in a release from the school's sports information department.
"We are expecting a lot of things out of him because of his ability to work, his talent level and his technique. He has the full package and we're expecting good things from him."
Olivet won the 125-pound match when Henry McKeown eked out an 8-7 decision over Ty Price. After McDermitt's win put HU up 6-3, Olivet's Justin Holm (141) tied things up with a 6-0 decision over Justin Kihn.
Olivet took the lead back when 149-pounder Gage Peterson scored an 11-5 decision over Damon Cheek, then added to it when Kyle Witgen (157) pinned Heidelberg's Aaron Banko in 6:44. That put Olivet up, 15-6.
Heidelberg got closer after the next match, when 165-pounder Jeremy Stepp scored a 3-1 decision over Dan Fleet. But the Comets rebounded to win the next two matches. Nick Allen, Olivet's 174 pounder, topped HU's Matt Shurina, 6-0, then 184-pounder Jeff Holm scored an 8-0 major decision over Richard Dowdley.
That gave the Comets a commanding 22-9 advantage, one that clinched the match.
Still, Heidelberg got some momentum. Jason Russell, the Student Princes' 197-pounder, knocked off Andrew Simpson, 9-1. That was followed by Heidelberg heavyweight Nino Majoy scoring a 10-1 major decision over the Comets' Ryan Steverson.
"I'm really happy with Jason Russell getting a major decision and Nino Majoy for putting things together and getting a major as well," Shuck said. "I'm impressed by those guys because they went out there, gave it all they had and continued to score points."
Heidelberg will be back Tuesday at Seiberling Gymnasium, when it squares off with the College of Mount St. Joseph.
