Book excerpt: Tales of Endearment,a companion to the popular website, is a collection of photos and stories by Natalie Joos featuring today's "who's-who" of the vintage clothing scene. The men and women that buy, collect, wear, and love vintage come from all walks of life, but share one impartial passion: each one of their "tales" reveals a motivation to celebrate the past and its many inspiring fashions. From 1970s rock and roll t-shirts to Edwardian morning jackets, mod suede skirts to one-of-a-kind accessories, every single garment in their wardrobes was handpicked with love, gratitude, and a green conscience, and has the power to inspire today's, and tomorrow's lovers of style. Tales of Endearment identifies with the notion that "everything old becomes new again," and the remarkable people who hold it dear. They are the real-deal vintage connoisseurs, historians, collectors, sellers, enthusiasts, and aficionados. Joos personally chose them from her wide and far-reaching circle of friends in different parts of the international arts and entertainment world because she feels they know how to style vintage clothes in a relevant and modern way. Traveling to photograph them at their homes-or in other inspiring locations-while wearing their favorite pieces, the result is a singular collection of men and women donning yesterday's colors, shapes, prints, and patterns that have been passed on and reinterpreted as tomorrow's cutting edge.

Download or read book Vintage Browns written by Terry Pluto and published by Gray & Company, Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you remember the Kardiac Kids … the Dawgs … the old Stadium … Bernie and Marty and Ozzie … this book is for you! Like a Classic throwback jersey, it recalls favorite players and exciting moments from Cleveland Browns teams of the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and more. They played it old-school. Doug Dieken set the NFL record for consecutive starts by a left tackle despite three knee surgeries, broken hands and thumbs, torn tendons, a broken arm and “a concussion or two. Maybe four or six. Hard to know.” Ozzie Newsome never expected to play tight end when he was drafted, then practically reinvented the position on his way to the Hall of Fame. Bernie Kosar carried a massive weight on his young shoulders as a hometown hero leading the Browns during years when the team offered a ray of hope to a downtrodden city. Earnest Byner and Kevin Mack together formed one powerhouse backfield and separately dealt admirably with adversity. Phil Dawson discovered that despite popularity and longevity, “Every kick could be your last.” Also includes Gregg Pruitt, Brian Sipe, Marty Schottenheimer, Reggie Langhorne, Brian Brennan, Bill Belichick, Tim Couch, Phil Dawson, and others. These insightful short profiles will entertain Browns fans of any vintage!

Download or read book The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol written by Nikolai Gogol and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using, or rather mimicking, traditional forms of storytelling Gogol created stories that are complete within themselves and only tangentially connected to a meaning or moral. His work belongs to the school of invention, where each twist and turn of the narrative is a surprise unfettered by obligation to an overarching theme. Selected from Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka, Mirgorod, and the Petersburg tales and arranged in order of composition, the thirteen stories in The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogolencompass the breadth of Gogol's literary achievement. From the demon-haunted “St. John's Eve ” to the heartrending humiliations and trials of a titular councilor in “The Overcoat,” Gogol's knack for turning literary conventions on their heads combined with his overt joy in the art of story telling shine through in each of the tales. This translation, by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, is as vigorous and darkly funny as the original Russian. It allows readers to experience anew the unmistakable genius of a writer who paved the way for Dostevsky and Kafka.

A maternal maverick, Anna Satorie, went against cultural-norms and became the sole owner of her family's homestead in 1905. The next year, Anna married John Burich, and the couple went about building a thrifty family farm. Pioneer life was fraught with trials and tribulations as polio and tuberculosis claimed loved ones and the fabricated death of a bootlegging brother turned gangsters away from the farm. Neighbors pitched in as members of the immigrant class aided one another to construct farmsteads and support one another through unsanctioned bank loans, daring dynamite work and barn raisings.
