An anonymous tip given to a Washington police detective led to the arrest of a Washington man suspected in three business burglaries last week.
Thomas Currie, 38, of 307 Lincoln Terrace, was arrested Friday morning on one count of burglary for the Feb. 8 break-in at Shorty's Lunch, 34 W. Chestnut St. City police Detective Dan Rush said Friday that Currie also admitted to burglarizing Krency's, 990 Jefferson Ave., and Triple T Tavern, 30 Oregon St., also in the early morning hours of Feb. 8.
Rush said city police Detective Sgt. Chris Luppino got a tip identifying Currie as a possible suspect.
"We put together a photo array and showed it to show Waste Management workers who had seen him," Rush said. "They were quickly able to pick out his photo."
Rush got a warrant for Currie's arrest from District Judge Robert Redlinger. Currie was taken into custody at an auto repair shop after Rush spotted his vehicle parked near the business.
Currie is suspected of forcing his way into Krency's bakery and restaurant. Police were alerted when an alarm went off about midnight. When they arrived, they found the door had been forced open. A cash register that was removed from the business was found in a Dumpster behind a nearby business.
Police were called about 3:50 a.m. to the tavern after receiving a report of an alarm sounding. Police found the door forced open. A safe stolen from the business was found in a creek behind the building. Liquor also was stolen.
About 4:45 a.m., refuse workers saw the man they later identified as Currie leaving Shorty's. City police chased the suspect for several blocks before losing him near Washington Christian Outreach, Ridge Avenue. The outreach is a short distance from Currie's home. Candy money was stolen from Shorty's.
North Franklin police Officer Dean Urbanic said Currie is being looked at as a suspect in the burglary of BJ's Car Wash, 1880 W. Chestnut St., on Feb. 9. The burglar used a makeshift ladder to climb onto the roof and forcibly enter the building.
Currie was arraigned before Redlinger on one count of burglary and placed in Washington County Jail on $50,000 bond. Rush said the complaint will be amended later to include the burglaries at Krency's and Triple T Tavern. A preliminary hearing is slated for Feb. 27 before Redlinger.

It's a castle. It has a big frickin' skull on it. The skull's mouth is the castle gate. A sure fire recipe for awesome. It's REALLY hard to screw that up, though they did once. They've "retired" that aesthetic, so I think they learned from their lessons.
It's going to be awesome. We're going to love it. Let's stop fighting over whose childhood memories were more valid.

Many great moments have occurred in the Powerade Christmas Wrestling Tournament, making it one of the best early season events in the country. Big-name athletes from traditional powers have provided fans a chance to watch some of the best wrestling in the country.
The match between Chance Marsteller and Cody Wiercioch, the top two ranked wrestlers at 170 in the country by Intermat, Saturday night added to the tournament's lore and showed wrestling fans just how entertaining and thrilling the sport can be when it's competed at the highest level by the most talented athletes.
Most matches that reach the ultimate tiebreaker stage with only a combined five escapes would be considered run-of-the-mill, maybe even boring.
That wasn't the case here.
Wiercioch, a senior at Canon-McMillan and a two-time state champion, and Marsteller, a junior at Kennard-Dale who also is a two-time state champion and undefeated in his varsity career, put on a show like no other.
They also made another memorable moment in the Powerade tournament.
Through the first three rounds, they competed on adjoining mats, steadily making their way to the finals of the 170-pound weight class. Marsteller looked small for a 170-pounder, and the guess here is that he will drop at season's end.
The tournament organizers are no dummies. They arranged the finals so that Wiercioch-Marsteller was at the end. Few, if any, left early, and were rewarded with the bout of the year.
For more than eight minutes, Wiercioch and Marsteller put on a show that was worth every cent of the ticket purchase for fans. Wiercioch getting out of three single-leg attempts by Marsteller was incredible to watch. Marsteller dropping to a split that would make even the best cheerleader envious to hold off a Wiercioch single-leg attempt in the first overtime was amazing. Holding it for seven seconds before a stalemate was called was beyond belief.
If there was a down side to this match, it was the way it was decided: the flip of the disk. Marsteller won the flip after the first period, giving him the option of choosing the start position for the second period. He quickly escaped. Neither wrestler could hold the other in the down position. All but 12 seconds of the seven-period bout was competed in the neutral position.
Because Marsteller won the flip and scored first, he had choice of position for the final overtime period. He escaped within seconds to win the bout 3-2. Had Wiercioch won the flip, and the match played out the way it did, Wiercioch would have won because Marsteller was unable to hold him down.
When the match ended, the standing-room-only crowd gave the wrestlers a standing ovation. They knew they saw something special, a rare bout between two champions who dazzled them with their ability.
It's too bad that type of bout doesn't happen more often.

A McMurray man claims he's being discriminated against by The Meadows Racetrack & Casino due to his illness that often makes him "challenging to deal with."
Dino LoCastro of 411 Center Church Road filed the federal lawsuit Thursday against The Meadows and its owner, Cannery Casino Resorts of Las Vegas, Nev.
According to the lawsuit, LoCastro suffers from depression and bipolar disorder, which can make him a "challenging person to deal with due to his mood swings."
He was diagnosed in 1985, following a traumatic incident, and has since been hospitalized three times for his disability, currently receives treatment from a psychologist every six weeks and remains on medication to manage the disability, the complaint said.
LoCastro claims in the lawsuit he has long owned and raced horses at tracks in Pennsylvania. And, for many years, he raced his horses at the North Strabane Township harness racing track and had patronized the casino. The racetrack and casino are independent entities, the lawsuit contends.
In March 2011, according to the suit, LoCastro went to the casino, where he gambled and consumed alcohol that may have "adversely interacted with" his medication.
At one point, while he was playing poker, security was called to LoCastro's table. Security then escorted LoCastro out of the casino and charged him with terroristic threats.
He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct. And, LoCastro was permanently banned from the entire facility.
"A search of other disciplinary actions taken by defendant reveals that other people have committed far more serious violations of the law and received small fines, probation and/or temporary suspension," the complaint reads. "Plaintiff has been singled out and been punished far more harshly than the offense warranted in light of how other similar persons were treated before and after plaintiff's minor infraction."
LoCastro claims he has only one prior incident on his record, in which he was charged with disturbing the peace in 1999 and fined.
He admits, however, that he has had strained relationships with people at the track because of his disability but has never been a direct threat to the health and safety of others.
The plaintiff "is being treated differently by the defendant because his disability makes him a difficult person when it comes to interpersonal relationships, and this infraction is being used as a pretext to permanently get rid of him," the lawsuit reads.
LoCastro contends his civil rights under the Americans with Disabilities Acts and his constitutional rights have been violated, and that he has suffered loss of income due to his inability to race at the facility. He is seeking more than $75,000 in damages.
Meadows spokesman Tom Meinert declined to comment on the lawsuit.

I just watched thor and I rather liked it.
I started some Halloween viewing
Paul with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and anyone who's been in comedy flick in the last couple years, (Seth Rogan was the alien, the other cop from super bad, Jason Bateman, the chick from Bridesmaids) I enjoyed it. Two nerds go to SDCC then a tour of American UFO sights, which ends up them getting themselves a Seth Rogan alien to tote around, and you know.. the chase with the MIB begins. I enjoyed it, but I don't think these guys will ever be able to top Shaun of the Dead.
Trick R Treat I actually really enjoyed this one. It reminded me of Creepshow, because it told several stories with comic book interludes, but what was different is all the stories took place at the same time in the same town. I'd give this one a watch
Madness. This was your random slasher B list movie on Netflix Instant. I believe this was a Swedish movie, but it supposedly took place in America, where 2 teens were headed to a Cheerleading competition, met two other dudes who had a broken down car, that hitched a ride with the cheerleaders until that car broke down, and yer classic murdering hillbillies with too much land come pick 'em up, and madness ensues.. I think the major problem was the random mix of Euro and American license plates. Anyway, they all had Swedish accents though they were supposed to be American. They were all supposed to be teenagers but appeared to be like 29 or 30. So, I'd skip this one.. and yell at someone Swedish for making this one.
I just watched thor and I rather liked it.
Starchild's #1 fan!!
Killer Elite
Considering DeNiro, Statham, and Clive Owen are the main characters, it's not as good as it should have been, but still a lot more enjoyable than advertised.
Two mercenaries (Statham and DeNiro) are forced to do one last job, involving killing a number of retired soldiers from a secret society. Hunting them down is a different mercenary (Clive Owen) out to get revenge for some of those killings.
The movie is set in the 80's and it does a good job of capturing the era. It's a pretty fun action movie, much better than the average Statham film.
I'd check this out if you're looking for an entertaining action movie or a fan of Statham and Clive Owen. DeNiro is pretty fun as well when he gets in his killing mode.
Jaws.....films come and go but this was ahead of its time , Shaw shouldve gotten Oscar for this one

Psycho on Blu-Ray: A masterpiece and my all time fave horror movie since forever looks great in high defintion.
Nightmare (1981): Sick, twisted and interesting horror thriller about madness, it's very much like Wolf Creek and Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer kind of as it goes for the jugular but has a good story to it.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) on Blu-Ray: Brilliant masterpiece of the genre that spawned many sequels, a remake and a prequel but this is the best one of them all.
"You killed Captain Clown, YOU KILLED CAPTAIN CLOWN"-Joker.
watched gentlemen broncos, which was made by the people who made napoleon dynamite and nacho libre. i thought it was pretty good. i didn't like it as much as the other two movies, but that could be because i don't remember any quotes. it has a lot of the same humor as napoleon dynamite and nacho libre, so if you liked those two movies i'd give it a watch.
Battle: Los Angeles
not sure what all the critics were watching because they all seem to be viewing some awful piece of trash while the film I watched was well written, well acted, suspenseful and had awesome sfx and alien designs.
The Ides of March
This is a political drama about the amount of dirt and sleaze in politics. Clooney's character is trying to win the Democratic nomination, which he is neck and neck with for Ohio, the key state to win. But the focus of the movie is his media manager played by Ryan Gosling. He's a straight edge political genius that 100% believes in his candidate changing the world if elected. One night he finds out something really dirty about him and things spiral out of control trying to spin and cover it.
At first glance, especially watching the movie, this felt like it's a "Republicans are evil movie", but it's really not once you keep watching. It's movie about how everyone in politics, Democrats in this one, have their hands dirty and are not at all who they project to be.
I'd recommend seeing this if you find politics fascinating or if you're a fan of Ryan Gosling. It's another movie for him showing off how good he is. The supporting cast is actually very solid with Clooney, Giammati, Evan Rachel Wood, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Marissa Tomei.
Nicole Kidman and Nicholas Cage play a very wealthy couple and parents of a teenage girl. One night intruders barge into their mansion and demand Cage open up the safe. For whatever reason, he refuses and our story begins.
This movie is the definition of a popcorn film. It's full of improbable twists and turns for the sole purpose of entertainment and nothing else.
I'd rent it. It's nothing bad, but Joel Schumacker directed it and you have to really like Nicholas Cage. His overacting crazy side shows up for a second. Nicole Kidman I always like, but this is a little beneath her, still glad she was in it.
Real Steel
The marketing for this is extremely cheesy, which is why I never wanted to see it. But anyone who has seen it says nothing but good things, so I checked it out.
It is a live action Rock Em Sock Em Robots at first glance, but you'll get a really entertaining boxing movie instead. It takes place somewhere in the future, not too distant. Robots have taken the place of humans fighting. Jackman plays a deadbeat dad and former boxer who now hustles for money in underground robot fights and terrible at it. One day he uses his estranged son to make money and the kid discovers an older robot in the junkyard to re-build and fight with. This robot can actually box like a human, instead just make others into scrap metal.
The movie is ten times better than it has any right to be. It's Rocky. The robot fights are better than anything in the Transformer movies thanks to Sugar Ray Leonard. Jackman is really good at being a scumbag in this, many times I wanted to take his head off. Evangeline Lilly is surprisingly different than Kate from Lost. She's a believable boxing fan.
This is one of those movies that makes you want to stand up and shadow box during the movie.
Give this a chance and see it.
Paranormal Activity 3
This is the prequel to the prequel of Paranormal Activity 2. I loved the first one. It was very low budget and genuinely creepy due to what we couldn't see. The second one was missing the subtlety of the original and a little more far fetched.
This one is back to it's roots. It's VHS footage from the 80's when Katie and her sister first encountered the demon. This is the best and scariest of the three. Just like the original, things get worse and creepier every night and leads to no good, but better. The one negative might be your reaction to the ending, it's out there. But the rest of the movie is extremely well done and genuinely scary and suspenseful.
If you liked the original, you'll have to see this.
Dinocroc vs Supergator
Another one of those low budget SyFy original giant mutant monster animal movies from Roger Corman (as opposed to the Asylum who also makes these kinds of films). The plot is bad, the acting is worse and the special effects are laughable
Naturally I absolutely LOVED this movie and would highly recommend it to Bad Giant-Mutant-Monster-Animal Movies buffs like me...it scores 8/10
Unseen behind Enter the Dragon.....this will prolly never be released officially due to the collector owning the rights !
Don't you have better thing to do than read this stupid signature

Finally saw Trick R Treat off Netflix. Pretty good.

In Time
This is a somewhat futuristic Robin Hood story where the currency is time, the amount of time you have to live, which you have to barter for goods and services. Society is divided up into time zones by the most powerful. The poor, who own the least time, are in seperate zones and controlled by the cost of living, which rise all the time to control population. The rich and powerful, who own all the time live in their seperate zone and are pretty much immortal.
One day one of the richest men in the world shows up in the low time zone and is giving away his time. Before getting mugged and killed, Timberlakes character saves him and as a reward gets all the time in the world. He decides to use it to steal time from the rich and spread it to the poor.
This was surprisingly very entertaining. Timberlake is a triple threat, he can sing, dance, and dance. Nahh he's decent, nothing great. Amanda Seyfried, who I thought was Dakota Fanning the entire time is good along with time cop, Cillian Murphy. There's also a small role by Olivia Wilde as Timberlake's mother.
I'd reccomend seeing it for a popcorn movie. It's a little more than that, but don't go looking for too much. It's a fun use of time as on object in an alternate universe.
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
Even though these are pot smoker movies and this is the third one, I have a feeling people will either love this or hate this. The other two, while their stories were out there, were still based on reality. This one is in a slightly different universe where the actual events might make sense if you really were high.
It's also in 3D and the 3D is actually really good. It makes Avatar look Avatarded.
Overall not as good as the previous two, but still has many funny moments for fans of the series.
Tower Heist
Ben Stiller plays the general manager of a luxury apartment where he invested his staff's pension with a Bernie Madhoff type crook. To make it up to them, he decides to plan a heist to steal the crook's secret stash.
This is a very funny heist movie and surprisingly another good movie with Ben stiller. It's an ensemble cast film, much like Ocean's Eleven and we get a good version of Eddie Murphy. The guy that steals the show is surprisingly Mathew Broderick.
My only complaint, and it takes nothing away from the entertainment value, is the ending doesn't really tie up all the loose ends.
Other than that, I liked this better than Harold and Kumar, I'd recommend seeing it.

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November..
'cuz I watched V for Vendetta that day, and it was awesome.
When I saw the trailer for this, I knew it could go in two ways. Either 300 or Sucker Punch. Luckily, this went the 300 route.
This is a fun Greek mythology movie. Immortals wage a war against each other, divided in two groups. The Gods and Titans. The Gods win and imprison the Titans. Back on earth, King Hyperion wages war on all of humanity to seek a special bow made by Ares to release the Titans and destroy the Gods for never answering his prayers. Zeus puts his faith in one man to defeat Hyperion and save his people.
This is really good for it's genre. I mean if movies like 300, or failed versions like Troy, Clash of The Titans, maybe even Conan are your thing, this is up there with 300 and top of green screen sword and sandal genre.
The movie is visually stunning as expected and brutally violent at times. I'd recommend 3D, it's worth it for this type of film. I don't think critics will give this a fair shake due to the type of movie this is, but it will be hard to deny Henry Cavilli's leading man performance. He knocks it out of the park and will make a great Superman. Mickey Rourke plays a great villain, much better than Iron Man 2.
I think you already know if this is your thing or not based on the trailers. If you've been waiting years for a sequel to 300 like I have, this is pretty close.
I thought that movie was terrible. The movie had no soul. It was very cookie cutter. Almost zero problems getting past the obstacles.
Troy was actually decent due to the great cast.

Immortals. It was bad. I was very let down.
Giving away three free months of World of Warcraft + copy of game. PM me for details.
Diablo III Battletag = Hordack#1465 WoW - Ghostlands Sever XBL Gamertag = Hordack1980
I want to see Immortals since I'm a fan of Tarsem Singh, but if it is truly like 300, I have a feeling I won't like it. I am so not a fan of that movie. After 20 minutes of the same posturing and green screen over-the-top battles, I was bored. I had such high hopes for Zack Snyder after his great Dawn Of The Dead remake, but, except for thinking Watchmen was OK, I haven't liked any movie of his since. Having said that, Sucker Punch was one of the best looking awful movies I've ever seen.
Last edited by Mr. Shokoti; November 11, 2011 at 11:53pm.
Snyder didn't direct this, but the look and style is similar. 300 is like watching a game between the Spartans and Persians, this is one man's story.
I don't know, if you're looking for intellectual stimulation, don't see this.

a bit flawed but not too bad.

dont suppose u could put them on here.........
I took some time and thought this year to storyboard some (potential) movies, in a perfect story telling form. With all the character structure and classic elements too.
Transformers 1+2, Robotech 1+2, Masters of the Universe 1+2.
I concider these to be the best stories of all time, or at least of the great 80's minds that thought them up.
The movies all have an ending, very significant music and a message.
I put them on my facebook.
...and the Masters movie boards are in my profile picture album.
I just dont know what to do with paper movies?
How do I get them made?
Does anyone have Speilburg's number, or James Cameron?
Anyway I can tell you anything you want to know about Masters.

SKELETOR OWNS HORDAK!! i have had an extremely good purchase of two motuc with shecky or as is on his profile "the man called v" a great guy so if you see an item of his you like do not hesitate to buy! Domino is selling an extremely impressive collection motuc in the marketplace. Great figures, great prices! get them while you can!
I just finished building a Masters of the Universe chessboard and I will stop-motion animate it soon. (which is to say that I have more He-Mans than you)
Secondly,, Hordak deffinitly owns Skeletor.
In my movies, Hordak will dramaticly capture all the blood-magic users on Eternia. (there is no Etheria, and to differ from rock-magic users like He-Man)
My storyboards are on youtube and on my account page.
It would be nice if I knew some rich peoples in Hollywood.
Otherwise I dont know how to get my movies made.
If I tryed to make them in stop-motion it would take the rest of my life.
..and a stop-motion set in my apartment would scare the ladies away.

I probably didn't realize that was a signature..
But did you read my storyboards?
Do you think it makes sence?
The storyboards are in my picture albums on here.
I want opinions.
I saw a few of your "storyboards." Umm, the art leaves much to be desired. And it goes from scene to scene without a linear narrative.
That said, it is an interesting start, but needs some work. Good job, so far...
I am looking forward to seeing the Wizards of Stone Mountain fan film. I think he is putting it online on the 31st. I am also glad that many fans are taking up the challange of producing their own films. We all have our own personal opinions of what makes MotU great, and creating your own film and putting it online is a great forum to display that.
What great times we live in.

It looks like the MOTU/POP storyboards you have drawn are very dear to you, but you need to look at it from a marketing point of view. Are 1980s pop songs going to be what an audience wants to hear in a He-Man movie? The short answer is no. They tried that with Flash Gordon, and it bombed at the box office. People want to hear orchestra music in sci-fi and fantasy films.
As for the storyboards themselves, they are fine for what they are, but you wouldn't be able to get a film made with them. You need to have an actual script for anyone to consider making a film. Sure, some artists have used graphic novels in the comics world as springboards for getting movies made (Kick A$$, Watchmen, 300), but simple storyboards are not enough. I would suggest writing an actual script.

I hope my comment was not interpreted as rude I was trying to give an honest and constructive, albeit short, critique. I also complimented him on taking up the task of creating his own storyline for a movie, much like the "Wizard of Stone Mountain" guy.
Wow. I suppose any negative comment, even with the best intentions, can be viewed as rude. If so, then I apologize.
Sorry guys.

My Transformers and Robotech are not up here, but it is a set of work.

I can understand that these movies could be done without heavy music, but it also conects Transformers and Robotech as a set.
..I am not a fine artist.
...but the stories are perfect. (I'm sorry if it is hard to read.)
I figure that if these movies were made right, I would need to be involved anyway.
Also if you watch my storyboards as a slide show on youtube it is text writen.
(so its alot easier to read)
.. "Are all men from the future, loud mouth braggatts?"...
... "Just me baby, just me." ... Army of Darkness

I've been reading through the comments, and I will commend you on undertaking such a project. It's never easy by any means.
The feedback I'm going to give is based on working several years as a Storyboard Coordinator on an Emmy winning animated series. Storyboards are meant to visually convey the script in visual form. The lines adjacent are to show dialogue or action notes, rather than telling the story itself. When working with boards, no one wants to read a block of text. Any notes are basically to synch up the shots with the voice track.
Boards should be concise and clear in the action taking place, and have good anatomy (even if stylized), a sense of setting and perspective, and above all, flow visually. You never want to look at boards and ask "Who is this?" or "What are they doing?" (And yes, the twins, monarchy, Skeletor and Orko clearly stood out. It was helpful because the boards uploaded so small I had some trouble making out the notes on the side because of that.)
In addition to good line quality and density, some artists will shade things in, though that's not necessary. Also, numbering the sequence and shots will help alerting people of a change. I can't tell you how often, even when they are numbered, it gets confusing if there's nothing conveying what angle the camera is coming from. Plus, having a healthy mix of far and close ups helps too.
You have some good angles. I liked the design for Queen Marlena's ship, though even in storyboards, you don't need to get that technical in the drawing. Storyboarders must be passionate about storytelling, and it's obvious you are. Keep working at it, honing your skills, and good journey.

I love an all inclusive canon!
My advice to you, for what it is worth, is to forget about making a live action film, and make a stop-motion film instead. I saw your music video and it was really good. You could always ask friends to record the lines for the characters. You have the story boards done, so I think it would be easy to do. Time consuming, perhaps, but you have the talent in yourself to do it!

I am busy making another stop-motion video.
My chessboard of Eternia is finished being built, now I need to make a killer chess game happen.
I think Orko will be a major player in deffeating Hordak.
..also I am holding off on another stop-motion movie that is taking too long to admit.
I am making a version of Gilbert & Sulivan's 'Pirates of Penzance' with Transformers, Robotech and He-Man's.
I call it the Pirates of Eternia: 'Or a slave of Duty' as it were in 1890 when it was writen.
This stuff takes forever.
Thanks for noticing Capt..
Thank you. It's still in the works.
It's getting torturuos watching Hordak loose and Skeletor flee, frame by frame.
..it will all be over soon for the blue.
My storyboards are more important than my stop-motion to the world though.

Your Wish is My Very Belated Command
works cited: top c/o ruche; j. crew skirt; UO flats; necklace from the camp lost and found ten years ago
A few weeks ago, someone sent me a message asking how I would style a loose-fitting blouse (such as this one that I kept obsessively mentioning) with a skirt rather than jeans. [Sidenote: I continue to feel perplexed that people ask me how to style anything, because still can't figure out how to style myself most mornings. I suspect I will need about 30 more years before I feel qualified to dole out advice.] So I rose to the challenge and styled this top with a skirt rather than jeans--the resulting scrap of advice I came up with is that I tucked the top into the back part of the skirt more than the front. But because I started this blog in part to get feedback and ask other people questions (rather than to give advice I feel entirely unqualified to give), let me ask: do you all have any tricks up your sleeves for wearing loose blouses with skirts?

My immediate reaction when I saw your tweet was: "belt it". Then I saw this skirt had adorable buttons at the waist, and I'm glad you didn't!
The reason I am drawn to belts is that I've found in order to successfully belt a loose top, it needs to be held in place well, so it doesn't slip in and out of where it's shouldn't. I find skirts tend to twist and ride up through the course of the day, so a belt prevents the shirt from doing the same. Of course, tucking into pantyhose/underwear works to - so long as you're sure the skirt won't reveal that you've done that!

cara--wow, this is such a great tip! and you're totally right about how tops get scroogey if they aren't held in place. genius, my friend!

Kind of going off what Cara said -
I like belting loose/longer tops and then blousing them over, even to the point where you can't see the belt anymore. It gives the shirt a whole new shape!
I've been doing it a lot with dresses worn as shirts -
(these are both with jeans, but you could pair it with skirts too!)

My first thought when i read this was to add a wide belt. Another trick I do it to do the scarf as a belt. I usually try and make it wider kind of like an obi style.

I always do exactly what you did! Tuck that baby in and then let it naturally drape over the waist a bit. You're looking quite cute today, I might add! I'm loving the skirt and your long hair!
- June 24, 2011 at 12:36 PM
If I have a loose or longer top and want to pair it with a skirt, I generally go for the more sleek silhouette of a pencil skirt or something straight on bottom. This way the volume of the top is balanced by the sleekness of the bottom.

- Sorcha said...
I think I tend to do the same - tuck in loose tops to a high waist. I'm pretty terrible at wearing belts to be honest!

Since I only ever wear skirts really, I can help answer this! Slightly higher-waisted skirts are best, so you can tuck in enough of the shirt without worrying it'll escape and have you flashing flesh the minute you bend over or reach upwards for something. And it lets you poof-out the blouse and take advantage of its looseness, if that makes any sense at all.

A little trick I've been doing lately for longer blouses is knotting them at the waist. You know, kind of like how you used to do to over-sized t-shirts when you were in elementary school.

Huh. I never thought about it, but I realized I do exactly what you did too - tuck the blouse in and let it poof and drape naturally. Love this outfit!

I tend to wear looser tops like that with pencil skirts, especially the higher waisted ones since there is a less chance that it will come untucked. And being able to tuck it into tights always helps too, however dorky that sounds.

Belts with drawstring skirts are the best way to do it! Sometimes I just wear the blouse over the skirt so that the blouse can be as loud and colorful as it wants to be. When I do that I use a smaller, thinner belt (I love using this one for these occasions). You can also tie a knot at the front or side of the top and wear the skirt underneath the knot (does that make sense?), it's all a matter of how vintage or modern someone wants to feel :)

I like the looser top tucked into a skirt. It's a more relaxed look than a tight tank or a button top shirt.

Oh man. I have no advice about the loose top/skirt conundrum, but I love how you ended up styling this! This outfit is adorable.
- June 24, 2011 at 3:48 PM

I generally stick with the whole "baggy top, tight bottom" and vice versa advice, so with a loose blouse, I would tend toward a pencil skirt. I think you did quite well with tucking it in and keeping it billowy but structured!

The top is adorable, perfect for summer. And usually, when it comes to tucking in a loose fitting top, the higher the wasit the better!

I love the pattern on this top! When it comes to loose blouses, I like to pair them with slimmer fitting skirts (or shorts) to avoid looking like an oompa loompa. Tuck either more in front or more in back (like you mentioned) and pull the rest loose and let it hang. Hope that helps?

I like this outfit! It's so perfect for summer! I just got a loose blouse via etsy as well as sewed one up because I thought they are so easy to match with the rest of wardrobe. So far, i have paired it with a pencil skirt, peg trousers, slouchy trousers, and skirts. Will be pairing it with shorts. The only thing I haven't done, is to pair it with jeans..

I like your top skirt combination, it's lovely.
For other ways to wear it I was thinking especially if the skirt is tighter fitting I think tucking one side of the front and leaving the rest out can look quite nice. The other idea is to tie a little knot at the side or back of the skirt to make it tighter around the waist of the skirt (especially high waisted ones).
I hope that is some help. Happy experimenting

Have you thought of maybe adding a long,very light and filmy scarf. It really dresses up an outfit. You don't need to tie it just wrap it once around your neck and let it hang in front, or to be fancy, let one end drape in front or one in back. Or you might try tying knots in the ends and just draping it over your shoulders. I'm starting a new blog just about scarves at scarvesforwoman.com. I love your blog. It is very inspiring.

Colts turn title over to Montour
Chartiers Valley scored only 11 second-half points and turned the ball over down the stretch as Montour came back to defeat the Colts, 47-40, and capture the WPIAL Class AAA boys' basketball title at the A.J. Palumbo Center.
"It hurts," said McConnell of the loss.
"But you can't turn the ball over against a team like theirs. Turnovers killed us.
"We scored only 11 second-half points. We turned the ball over way too much. And, we didn't get the ball inside the way we would have liked. We gave them too many opportunities to get back into the game."
The Colts appeared to be on their way to their sixth title under McConnell as they broke out to a 29-16 advantage before the Spartans waged a comeback to close to nine, 29-20, by intermission.
CV opened up the lead by penetrating the paint and dumping off to center Spencer Casson, who had a distinct height advantage over the competition. He scored 14 of his team-high 18 points in the first half. Because of Montour's defensive pressure, he did not score again until midway through the fourth frame on a pair of free throws that made the score, 35-34. He added a bucket with 2:05 to play.
By then, however the momentum had shifted in the Spartans' favor. Thanks to back-to-back 3-point field goals by Kevin Scuilli at 2:52 and 1:50, Montour opened up a 42-38 lead. Free throws by Devin Wilson in the final seconds of play sealed the victory for the Spartans.
Wilson exploded for 19 points, 12 in the second half. He also pulled down seven rebounds. Scuilli finished with nine markers as did Justin Hill.
Michael Boulos followed Casson in double digits with 12 while Matty McConnell was limited to four points. Dom Castello and Hayden Herzer each supplied three tallies for CV, which enters PIAA tournament action next week sporting a 22-4.
"We just have to get back to the drawing board and get ready to go," said McConnell.

Five women were arrested on prostitution charges stemming from a investigation Thursday night by Washington police and members of the Washington County District Attorney's Drug Task Force in the area.
Charged were Angela Doswell, 44, of 40 E. Prospect Ave., Washington; Rhonda Challinor, 32, of 1185 Armour St., North Franklin Township; Leslie Dixon, 36, of 30 S. Wade Ave., East Washington; Chastity Kelly, 34, of 161 Hall Ave., Washington; and Carla Ruscello, 28, of 367 Castle Road, Chartiers Township.
"We got the five in a two-hour period between 10 p.m. and midnight, said city police Chief Chris Luppino. "These were all undercover deals with prostitutes."
The five women allegedly offered to perform sex acts in exchange for $50.
"They are pretty bold, coming straight up to the car," Luppino said. "We've gotten complaints that they've gone as far as to open the doors.
"Residents in the neighborhood have been complaining, as well as people who work in the area and have to drive through in the morning," the chief added of the alleged prostitutes. "They are out there in the morning, afternoon and at night."
Luppino said having a detective working directly with the drug task force has proven beneficial for both agencies.
"We will definitely continue the enforcement against prostitution," Luppino said. "And we will do a reversal on the johns. We plan to enforce this on both ends."
Doswell and Dixon were placed in the Washington County jail on probation detainers. Police also charged Ruscello with prostitution and possession of heroin stemming from a May 23 incident at the same location.
Charges against the five will be sent by summons from the office of District Judge Robert Redlinger.
City police were investigating another prostitution complaint Sunday night in the 100 block of West Chestnut Street when they found a man wanted on a warrant out of Osceola County, Fla.
Daniel Stephens, 29, of Orlando, identified himself as Stephen Harthcock to city police. Officers found Stephens' identification in his wallet and learned he is wanted on a warrant for possession of drugs.
He was arraigned as a fugitive from justice by District Judge David Mark and placed in the Washington County jail without bond pending extradition to Florida.

Supervisor questions private meeting with Range officials
Three Cecil Township supervisors met privately with Range Resources officials last week, reversing a June decision to cancel the meeting after the municipality's insurance carrier raised concerns about it.
Supervisor Andy Schrader, who was not invited to the Aug. 6 meeting and did not attend, called on Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone to investigate whether the quorum of three supervisors violated the state's Sunshine Law.
Plans to meet with Range were not discussed the night before during the supervisors' regular voting meeting.
Schrader said he did not know about the meeting until he received an email Wednesday from Jim Cannon, manager of government relations at Range Resources. Cannon acknowledged that a meeting took place in Range's offices in Southpointe, and supervisors Tom Casciola, Elizabeth Cowden and Frank Ludwin attended. Cannon said in the email that several issues were discussed, including the Worstell impoundment on Swihart Road, and that "there were several ideas we all considered and agreed might address the concerns that have been articulated by nearby residents, including speed on the road and traffic volume."
Schrader said he was unsure if he and Supervisor Mike Debbis, who also did not attend the meeting, were intentionally excluded. He also questioned the wording of Cannon's email, which led him to believe that "agreeing" on anything would be a violation of the Sunshine Act.
"There's a fine line between agreeing to something and having a course of action," Schrader said.
The decision to meet privately with Range contradicts a 4-1 vote on June 4 to cancel the meeting after the township insurance carrier raised concerns about it since the two sides are locked in litigation. The township supervisors originally voted 3-2 on May 7 to schedule a private meeting with Range.
The supervisors' private meeting came just a few days before the entire board met Aug. 9 with the state Department of Environmental Protection in a closed conference to discuss the Worstell impoundment.
Cecil Township solicitor John Smith said he was unaware of the meeting until after Cannon's email was received. Township Manager Don Gennuso did not attend the meeting and declined to comment.
Schrader has contacted the district attorney asking him to look into the matter. Vittone could not be reached for comment on the inquiry. However, a private meeting with a quorum of supervisors does raise legal questions, according to Melissa Melewsky, of the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association.
"Any time you hear about a public agency or a quorum of elected officials meeting privately to discuss agency business, it raises compliance issues," Melewsky said. "There are a number of limited exceptions that allow private disucsisons. None seems applicable here."
None of the supervisors in attendance, nor Range Resources officials, returned multiple phone calls seeking comment regarding the meeting.

Canon 135mm f2L USM review: An oldie but a goodieBy Paul Carroll - Thursday December 27 2012 Lens Review
Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM: Capable but not the best telephoto prime for Canon
Achieving a DxOMark Score of 26 overall the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM ranks reasonably highly on the DxOMark ratings for Canon compatible telephoto prime lenses. As you would hope for a prime the individual Lens Metric Scores indicate it's a bright lens with a Transmission score of 2.3Tstop and there's very little Distortion or Chromatic Aberration noticeable as illustrated by Lens Metric Scores of 0.1% and 4um respectively.
That said it only ranks 74th for all lenses tested on the DxOMark database and it's not the best performing telephoto prime we've seen for Canon DSLRS either. The DxOMark Scores for telephoto primes tested on the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III confirm the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM ranks 5th overall behind competition from Sigma, Carl Zeiss, Samyang as well as Canon's own EF 100mm f/2 USM.
With an overall Lens Metric Score for Sharpness of 14 P-Mpix the Canon EF 135 f/2L USM ranks mid-table for a prime tested on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and its sharpness is comparable to the Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM Score of 14 P-Mpix.
Putting that into context further the Canon EF 135mm f/2L is a long way off the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM, which achieves 17 P-Mpix for sharpness, but it does significantly out trump the Tamron SP AF180mm F/3.5 Di LD (IF) MACRO 1:1 Canon that only manages 9 P-Mpix.
Delivering best sharpness at apertures between f/2.8 and f/8 by the time you close down to f/11 sharpness does tail off slightly and although still reasonable at f/16 shooting with very small apertures like f/22 & f/36 are to be avoided. Sharpness at f/2 is not brilliant either but this is to be expected at such a wide aperture and simply closing down 1-stop to f/2.8 will improve things considerably.
|Canon 135mm f/2L USM
|135mm f/2
|135mm f/4
|135mm f/32
If you're buying this lens for creative shallow depth of field effects using f/2 then vignetting is an issue you should be aware of. It is optically very difficult to control edge shading at such wide apertures and the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM is no exception with -1.33EV of shading at f/2. Close down to f/4 however and the problem is removed completely and doesn't resurface at small apertures like f/32 either.

Canon 135L
"... the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM is noticeably sharper." (than the 135L)
This just shows how meaningless your new metric is. Your own measurements do not show any noticeable difference. There is almost none here: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=108&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=756&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=2
Also, comparing 85 and 135mm can be tricky. For the same background blur, you need f/1.4 at 85mm vs. f/2 at 135mm (same physical aperture). The 135L is then really sharper, much less PF/LoCA.
BTW, nobody buys the 135L for sharpness - not that it is not sharp. It has gorgeous bokeh. Your "second hand" recommendation is really stupid.

Re: Canon 135L
Sharpness has nothing ado with depth of field....
And even wide open, or at least at f2 central sharpness on the Sigma is quite impressive.
So yes the sigma is sharper than the 135L.
It is funny though how people complain about the irrelevance of a sharpness test, while they are actually complaining that their lens is better...
Both are telephoto portrait lens, so that's why DxO compare them.
Sharpness is not the most relevant factor for portraits, that's a given, but DxO does not pretend to test usability or practicality of a lens.
DxOMark tests resolving power, vignetting, light transmission and so on.
A kind of pure image quality test, be it relevant or not to the application.
If you want field tests and reviews, there are plenty of sources such as SLRGear, DPReview, photozone.de... and so on.
DxOMark is just a metric...

Re: Canon 135L
You missed my point. DXO does not just report data, it makes a conclusion about the value of the lens overall. Then bokeh, f-stop vs. FL, etc., are primary factors.

Three local schools receive Blue Ribbon awards
Three local schools receive Blue Ribbon awards
Three local school districts, Upper St. Clair, Mt. Lebanon and Peters Township, were notified that one building in each district was named a 2013 National Blue Ribbon school.
For Upper St. Clair, the most recent Blue Ribbon distinction is the 11th time the school district has been honored.
In Peters Township, the middle school was named for the award for the first time. In Mt. Lebanon, Lincoln Elementary School was designated for the third time. And in Upper St. Clair, Fort Couch Middle School was named a recipient for the fourth time. Only seven other schools in the country have received the award four times.
The designation is based on overall academic excellence or for success in closing achievement gaps. It has been awarded since 1982. The designation was issued through the U.S. Department of Education. Schools were nominated through the state Department of Education.
The department will honor the 238 public and 50 private schools selected as Blue Ribbon schools at a conference and awards ceremony Nov. 18-19 in Washington, D.C. Each school will receive a flag and a plaque.
The Fort Couch Middle School received the award in 1986-87, 1992-93 and 2001-2002.
"I wish to commend the Fort Couch leadership team, teachers, support staff, parents and students for this significant achievement," said USC Superintendent Patrick O'Toole. "Their hard work and talent made this prestigious honor happen."
The Upper St. Clair High School has received a Blue Ribbon Award three times while Baker, Eisenhower and Streams Elementary schools as well as Boyce Middle School have each received one Blue Ribbon Award.
O'Toole said the history of four Blue Ribbon awards at Fort Couch Middle School can be attributed to a former administrator, the late Donald Eichhorn. O'Toole said that Eichhorn revolutionized middle level education in Upper St. Clair and nationally, in the 1990s.
Lincoln Elementary's third honor brings to seven the number of awards for the Mt. Lebanon district.
"I am very proud of Lincoln Elementary School for being selected a National Blue Ribbon School. The principal, faculty, students and parents have made a commitment to excellence in education that is a Lincoln tradition," said Timothy Steinhauer, superintendent. "This award is symbolic of the good work we do every day throughout the district and embodies our guiding philosophy of continuous improvement."
According to Lincoln Principal Marybeth Irvin, the Blue Ribbon represents a team effort. "Lincoln's strength is the people, our faculty, staff, parents and community who work together to provide the best education possible for all of our students," she said. "While we have a strong focus on academics, we also work together to support children in all areas of learning and growth."
Lincoln received the award in 2000-01 and 2002-03. Washington Elementary School was awarded a Blue Ribbon in 2003-04, and Mt. Lebanon High School received the disticntion in 1983-04, 1990-91 and 1997-98.
The Peters Township Middle School marks the second time such a distinction was placed upon the district.
"We are so pleased to have the outstanding achievements of our students recognized on a national level," said Robert Freado, middle School principal. "We share this honor with not only our students and current staff, but with the entire district, community and the staff members who have contributed over the years to our tradition of excellence."
Science teacher Cindy Ollendyke said the students and teachers learned of the award when Freado made an announcement Sept. 24 during home room.
The students were not as excited as Ollendyke. She did a "happy dance" with her hands above her head.
"The kids were like 'what's that' when they heard," she said.
Freado knew the school was in the running after being notified last winter. The middle school was nominated by the state Department of Education. After a telephone call to Washington, D.C. last week, Freado said he "kind of" knew there was a good chance the school would receive the award.
Extensive applications were submitted by the schools in February. There were no face-to-face meetings and no contact once the applications were filed.
"We're excited. We're humble and very proud," Ollendyke said.
A celebration will be held in Peters Township, but no date has been set.
The Peters middle school is the second building in the district to receive the honor as Pleasant Valley Elementary, a building housing kindergarten through third grade, received the distinction in 2011.
A total of 15 schools in Pennsylvania were named Blue Ribbon schools, meaning one fifth of those are contiguous along the Route 19 corridor.

Mere months after the release of Windows 8, some are wondering where Windows 9 is already.
Sorry folks, this isn't Google Chrome, which gives us eight or nine major version bumps a year. We've had eight major versions of Windows in over 27 years. It's going to take a while before version 9. But you can expect more incremental changes, especially in the new "Modern UI" formerly known as Metro, to come out at a more rapid pace.
That's what Windows Blue appears to be: an incremental refresh of Windows 8. This interpretation is reinforced by a screen grab tweeted this morning:
The dialog box calls the new version Windows 8.1, and even that sounds generous to me, based on what we've seen so far. BYTE's Chris Spera described Blue as being disappointing for lacking the things he thinks Windows 8 needs. I agree with him on some of those things, but I think it's fair and reasonable to expect Microsoft to put its efforts into fine-tuning the Modern UI.
Hat tip to Mary Jo Foley on ZDNet. Mary Jo says that Blue is expected to be released to manufacturing (what an antiquated term!) around August. Perhaps it can affect the back-to-school market.
She adds that Microsoft sees it as a refresh of Windows 8; that the branding will remain "Windows 8" (although I'm sure techies can and will use the term 8.1).
And don't be surprised if .1 Windows releases come more frequently than in the past. (I'm still hoping for an 8.5 that makes the desktop mode more Windows 7-like.)

JBA Power Cables 99-00 Ford Mustang 3.8L Blue
- Increased horsepower and torque throughout RPM
- Improved throttle response

- Powerful exhaust note
When it comes to performance exhaust systems, most people are looking for three things: Power, sound, and quality. JBA Exhaust Systems deliver the best of all three, giving it both great looks and performance. One of the first performance upgrades typically made to a vehicle is the addition of a performance exhaust system. While there is a high demand for performance sound, the capacity for power in a JBA exhaust system gives JBA the extra edge. Each system is tuned to provide the best possible exhaust tone without being overwhelming from within the vehicle. By replacing the restrictive factory exhaust system with free flowing mandrel-bent stainless tubing and quality performance mufflers, JBA has developed the power, sound, and efficiency desired in a vehicle. Each kit is finished with a polished chrome plated stainless steel tip that resist discoloring, along with high quality hardware and thorough instructions for a simple bolt-on installation.

A Chartiers Township man is in Washington County jail after turning himself in to authorities to face charges he assaulted his former girlfriend in Claysville Sunday.
Chadwick Crowe, 35, of 852 Governors Circle, is accused of punching Emma Morgan in the face and knocking her to the ground as she walked on Main Street near Wayne Street.
Donegal Township police Officer Adam Fichter was called about 5 p.m. for a report of woman who had been assaulted and was on the ground. When he arrived, Fichter found Morgan facedown on the sidewalk. She was bleeding from the mouth, had bruising on the jaw and bruising and swelling on her right eye.
Morgan and a person who was with her identified Crowe as her attacker.
Morgan was taken to Washington Hospital and then transferred to UPMC-Presbyterian hospital in Pittsburgh for treatment. Township police Sgt. Ronald Catrain Jr. said Morgan had teeth broken in the assault, and her lower jaw was broken in several places. She was released from the Pittsburgh hospital but has to return Friday for surgery. Her face was too swollen for the doctors to perform the surgery while she was in the hospital earlier this week, Catrain explained.
Police obtained a warrant for Crowe on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment from District Judge Ethan Ward, and Crowe turned himself in at Ward's office Wednesday morning. He was arraigned and placed in Washington County jail on $25,000 bond, and also faces a probation detainer. A preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 3 before Ward.

A Washington father and son accused of sexually assaulting a girl over a seven-year period waived their charges to court Wednesday.
James Earl Maskil Jr., 43, and James Keith Maskil, 19, had their bond reduced from $50,000 to a percentage bond in exchange for the waiver. Assistant District Attorney Traci McDonald agreed to the bond reduction so the girl, now 14, would not be subjected to the stress of the preliminary hearing in Central Court before District Judge Valarie Costanzo.
The elder Maskil is charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children. His son is charged with two counts of rape of a child and one count of indecent assault.
The girl reported the alleged assaults to officials at Washington High School, who in turn notified the authorities. Washington County Children and Youth Services reported the incident to city police.
The reported incidents began in 2005 when the younger Maskil allegedly tried to have intercourse with the girl. He is accused of later raping her on two occasions, including once in 2007. James Keith Maskil was 12 years old when the alleged assaults began, while the girl was just 7.
The girl reportedly confided in the elder Maskil about his son's actions. He allegedly told the girl that he would "take care of it."
A short time later, the father allegedly asked the girl for details about his son's actions. He then allegedly forced the girl to perform a sex act on him. He also reportedly told the girl that if she told anyone, he would punish her or tell others she was lying.
As part of the bond reduction, McDonald emphasized that there is to be absolutely no contact with the girl or her family.
"There has already been an incident involving third-party contact," McDonald told Costanzo. "And that means no contact via telephone, third parties, email, text messages or social media."
Assistant Public Defender Tom Cooke, who represents the younger Maskil, and attorney Sam Pangburn, representing the father, also urged the families of the two men not to have contact with the girl.
"You can't contact the little girl or put comments on your Facebook page," Cooke reminded family members. "Otherwise, their bond will be revoked."
City police Detective Daniel Rush said he is continuing to investigate another allegation involving the girl.

BALLSTON -- Kelly A. Stewart was sworn in as a Ballston Town Council member Thursday night. Stewart will fill the vacancy created when Jeremy Knight resigned from his position in early October.
Stewart is an attorney and has worked for the state Legislative Bill Drafting Commission for 19 years, researching, drafting and editing legislative proposals. She also provides legal counsel to her family's business, Stewart Construction Inc.
She has volunteered with a number of community organizations, including the Ballston Community Library board, the Stevens Elementary School and O'Rourke Middle School PTAs, recreation soccer, Pop Warner Football and Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Junior Baseball.
Stewart and her husband, Todd, have three children and live in Burnt Hills.
Town Supervisor Patti Southworth said Stewart is well-qualified to sit on the board, but she voted against the appointment at Thursday's meeting because she felt the process in which Stewart was chosen was not transparent. The three Republican town council members held an official caucus to decided on a candidate -- a meeting that Southworth, who is an Independent, did not attend.
Councilman Tim Szcze-paniak said the caucus was necessary because the position needed to be filled quickly.
"We can't just have a vacant seat like that," he said.
The vacant position was advertised in local newspapers and each town council member was given the resumes of all five of the candidates who applied. Prior to the Republicans' caucus, Szczepaniak said they asked Southworth who her top candidate was, but she hadn't had a chance to interview them all yet.
"I voted no to the appointment because I don't believe that we followed the process that was in the best interest of the people," she said.
Szczepaniak said Stewart is the best person for the job. "She's very involved with the community, and really, she's a perfect fit for the council," he said.
Stewart will hold the position through Dec. 31, 2013, the end of what would have been Knight's four-year term.


text: Hasbro has been in with Disney for a long time with Star Tours toys, I dont think they will go to Mattel, not to mention Hasbro still has the rights, I believe until 2018, so I am sure they will stick with them. I think this is the most awesome news from Star Wars in a long time. I didnt like how George was just sitting on the franchise and not exploring it through animated movies and other things. The TV show has been dead for years and the Clone Wars cartoon is fading. I am really excited about the prospects. I love a lot of the EU and would like to see much of it in movies too. I cant wait to see what they do. Funny how Star Wars get sold and they immediately announce new movies and MOTU still is floundering with Mattel. This shows how a hot property should be promoted and handled.

Apke to Penn State
Style swayed Troy Apke as the Mt. Lebanon junior made a verbal commitment to continue his football career at Penn State.
The 6-1, 185-pound wide receiver picked the Nittany Lions over among others, the University of Pittsburgh, where his father, Steve, played linebacker in the 1980s and his former coach, Chris Haering, is now an assistant for the Panthers.
Georgia Tech, Toledo, Bowling Green, Kentucky and Minnesota were among the other schools heavily recruiting Apke.
"(Troy's) game translates very well to the college game, especially in Penn State's pro-style offense, which utilizes its receivers," said current Lebo skipper Mike Melnyk. "Troy is an explosive player."
Indeed, for Apke destroyed opposing defenses with his acrobatic catches. In fact, he shattered every single-game and season receiving record in school history during the 2012 campaign that saw the Blue Devils share a conference championship with rival Upper St. Clair and post an 8-3 record.
Apke ranked No. 5 in the WPIAL in receiving. He made 54 receptions for 1,048 yards. He averaged 19.4 yards a catch.
According to Melnyk, those numbers should only increase as Apke continues to hone his skills.
"Troy did an excellent job working at becoming a complete receiver last year and his development in route running and running after the catch will continue this fall," Melnyk said. "Troy has great speed and that translates well on the football field."
Apke demonstrated that speed during last weekend's West Mifflin Invitational. He won the 100-meter dash in 11.28 seconds, edging Gateway's Cameron Gray by .04.
Apke, who had played varsity basketball, also helped the 4-by-100 meter relay team to victory in 43.51. He led off the unit, which consisted of Michael Briercheck, Chris Ferrari and Patrick Lawrence.
In Apke, the Nittany Lions are getting a prized recruit, says Melnyk.
"Troy is an outstanding player but an even better young man. He is very humble and grateful for all of his opportunities."

I can see your points but I always assumed that there where 'missing years' between the two seasons.
When we were younger my brother and I would often play games to bridge the gap between the seasons.
It's been a while since I watched MASK but the some things do cross between both shows Nash Gorey and Outlaw spring to mind. Terrorist groups do and can change how they operate look at the original IRA, some of them were released as known terrorists and some are now politicians and now seek to discuss their issues instead of using illegal activities.
Miles Mayhem took Venom towards racing as a way to gain profit instead of terrorist activities...that's one thing that bugged me about MASK why were Venom terrorists?? What were there motives?? Who funded them??
Mmm analysis ------
Miles a decorated Colonel before he created Venom, had a rich family like Matt Trakkers. Miles helped fund the MASK project with Matt (just a simple rich boy and tech head like his father) and Matt's father, whom was given the power source of the mask by a tribe in season 1. Now we know Matts father died, was he killed in a suspicious accident in Miles' lab??
Going with that Miles (now even more of a greedy *******) knew what he could gain through the power source and mask technology thus he creates VENOM they cause havoc robbing banks etc... Matt is already a multi millionaire and has a lot of investments and probably has many businesses's (ok I know this is thin ground) but I don't think Miles would suspect him being the man to run MASK.
Matt ensured all agents were civilian and with low-key jobs but with all the necessary qualities any good anti terrorist squad requires.
Season 1 happens
A big battle happens vehicles are destroyed Miles and the rest of Venom are defeated by MASK, arrested and then put on trial (all vehicles are then scraped and Miles personal fortune is then frozen). Due to the magnitude of Miles escapades the trial is public and Matt has to give evidence and at this point reveal who was behind MASK all along.
Due to some legal loop holes blah blah blah Miles is released uses Maximus Mayhems' fortune to build/create Venom the race team cue new vehicles/Masks 'non violent'. Max not being a bad guy (I feel Max is very naive and has that blind trust one has with their identical twin) believes Miles changed his ways agrees to happily go along. Matt knowing that Miles is likely lying also reforms MASK and directly employs those that wish to become MASK agents once more thus them leaving there jobs.
Season 2 - the events of the last episode feel more important.
Well I know it's full of holes but that's the way I always looked at it.
And what would 80's cartoons be without all those glaring obvious plot holes? Lol

A Finleyville man accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl at a Carroll Township home last year waived his case to court.
Russell William Robertson, 49, of 5141 Chevy Chase Road, is now facing three counts each of statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, endangering the welfare of children and corruption of minors. One count of each charge was withdrawn prior to the start of Wednesday's proceeding before District Judge Joshua Kanalis by Assistant District Attorney Traci McDonald.
The alleged victim told police she was assaulted during a three-month period from August through October. She said she was touched inappropriately by Robertson. The victim had gone to the home in Carroll to visit a friend. Robertson was reportedly living there at the time.
Robertson also is accused of giving alcoholic beverages to the alleged victim and her friends. He is accused of having the inappropriate contact with the 15-year-old while she was highly intoxicated.
McDonald asked Kanalis to include conditions on Robertson's bond including no contact with the alleged victim and her family.
"And that is including any comments by the defendant or his family on social networking sites," McDonald said.
Kanalis asked Robertson and family members who were in the courtroom whether they understood the conditions.
"If you see one of them in a grocery store, turn around and leave," Kanalis warned. "Otherwise, his bond could be violated."
Robertson's attorney, Phil DiLucente, told Kanalis that attorney Steven Toprani was going to prepare an order to have a detainer removed so that his client can post bond. Robertson is in the Washington County jail on $100,000 bond in addition to the adult probation detainer.
Prior to the start of the proceeding, Kanalis admonished DiLucente and co-counsel James Ecker for arriving 45 minutes late. DiLucente explained that they thought the hearing was being held before District Judge Mark Wilson and had gone to Monongahela.
