Father and son set off on motorcycle adventure
For years Ed Keller has grown accustomed to the traditional family barbecue, but this Father’s Day he will be one week into an unforgettable father-son adventure.
He and his son Gregg Keller embarked on a two-month motorcycle trip Monday that will take them across 48 states. The Novato residents mapped their route around meeting family, friends, camping at national parks and catching a few Giants games on the East Coast.
On Father’s Day they hope to be camping near Pike’s Peak in Colorado, about 1,400 miles into the trek.
Gregg Keller, 24, said as far as a gift, “Maybe we will find a Foster’s Freeze and get an ice cream cone,” he joked.
But the ultimate goal is to end up at the 75th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, a week-long motorcycle festival in South Dakota, before heading back home.
Ed Keller, a 55-year-old father of three and husband of 32 years, said the trip to Sturgis was inspired by his brother in-law Stan Vaughn, who rode with them to the August rally last year. Vaughn died from cancer a month later.
“Four of us went. We had a really good time,” he said. “We did about eight states last year, and we were talking about doing the states we missed. Gregg said lets do 48.”
In memory of Vaughn, the Kellers planned the trip and are carrying some of his ashes to share the experience. This was something he would have liked to have done, they said.
And for the Kellers, the timing was right.
Gregg Keller just graduated from San Jose State University, and his father retired from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where he worked as a supervisor for the environment, earlier this year.
Mardy Robbins, another one of Ed Keller’s brothers in-law, was among the group of four last year. He couldn’t make the whole journey with the Kellers this year, but he admires their relationship.
“They’re really close,” he said. “In 1994 my son died on a motorcycle, and that trip with them last year brought back memories of riding with my son.”
Robbins said he is going to try to meet them in Missouri. Karen Keller, Ed’s wife, is flying out there so they could all ride to the Sturgis rally together.
Gregg Keller said there were plenty of activities from last year’s event he didn’t get to do, such as zipline over rows of motorcycles and go to bike demonstrations. He is hoping to have an opportunity this year.

But already, he said he is seeing how the trip is an overall learning experience, like many he has had with his father before.
He talked about the years they spent together when he was a Boy Scout and his father volunteered. He remembered when they rebuilt a 1957 Mustang, and how three years ago they resurrected his father’s 1982 Honda CB 750, which Gregg Keller is riding on this trip.
“I told him, ‘If you keep teaching me these things, by the time I’m your age I’m going to be smarter than you are.’ He said, ‘It’s not a bad thing, to be smart,’” Gregg Keller said. “Everything I know I’ve learned from my dad.”

Women gamers make a statement at Electronic Entertainment Expo
Women showed their emerging presence in the video game world at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this week.
The three-day event at the Convention Center in Los Angeles, California, is home to the world’s premier trade show for computer, video and mobile gaming. The conference is attended by software developers, programmers, distributors, entertainment industry representatives, venture capitalists, and video game consumers. Big name companies in attendance include Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.
And this year, whether it be programmers or fans, women were in high attendance at the traditionally male-dominated expo.
Video game console, Xbox (owned by Microsoft) had a plethora of their gaming presentations operated by female leaders and executives, according to NBC News Los Angeles.
RELATED: Feminist critic forced to cancel lecture after gun threat
“Sometimes, girls feel as if video games aren’t meant for them,” said Erica Hampson, a game developer for Virgini to NBC News. “Games used to be very sexualized but it’s been getting a lot better.”
With a strong increase in female attendance at the conference, more female characters were displayed in new game releases.
Emily Kaldwin, the assassin in Bethesda Softworks’ “Dishonoured 2,” Rae, a blind female character in Microsoft’s “Beyond Eyes,” and a female hunter in Sony’s “Horizon: Zero Dawn,” were some of the new heroines presented, according to the Associated Press. These characters all joined established female lead characters like Lara Croft of “Tomb Raider” series.
Meanwhile, Bethesda’s “Fallout 4,” EA’s “Mass Effect: Andromeda” and Ubisoft’s “Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate,” gave players the option to play as female characters. In addition, “FIFA ’16” is introducing women teams, as the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup is currently underway.
A small all-female gaming development group from South Carolina called 3 Queens also made an appearance at E3, to introduce their new game “Creeping with the Crudashians,” a mobile game parody of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” according to MTV News.
Before “Creeping with the Crudashians,” Cara Florence, Nicole Young, and Maureen Coffey-Edri created an mobile platform application called WeConsent2, which established affirmative consent for women who are at risk of being sexually assaulted.
The positive vibes at the expo served as a counterpoint to the prevailing image of the gaming industry as sexist, and even potentially dangerous, for women. Just last year, Anita Sarkeesian, a feminist critic who has written extensively about misogyny rampant in video games had to cancel a planned lecture at Utah State University after mass murder threats were made.
“I think that women and young girls have a different perception of gaming or even anything in technology or software-related. I think the perception is off, and if they could see more and be exposed to these types of events or opportunities and even see other women, like us, who are actually being successful at these types of opportunities, that would really inspire them. I wish that they could see that more,” Cara Florence, a co-founder of 3 Queens, told MTV News.
“Just do it, and be open to collaboration with other women too,” her fellow co-founder Nicole Young added. “Don’t be intimidated by the male dominance of this industry.”

Compact Cars Now as Fuel Efficient as Large Motorcycles
Compact cars are getting more and more fuel efficient.
Although the U.S. won’t reach President Barack Obama’s goal of having one-million plug-in vehicles on the roads by the end of the year, standard gasoline engines are becoming more efficient as a result of electrified vehicles. In order to compete with automakers offering hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles, some automakers are opting to enhance fuel economy on their existing gasoline engines, since it’s arguably cheaper than researching and developing a hybrid powertrain. As a result, fuel economy on compact cars are now equal to that of a large motorcycle, which is impressive considering how much more a car weighs compared to a motorcycle.
With stricter corporate average fuel-economy requirements making an appearance worldwide, automakers have been able to meet those mandates by modifying traditional gasoline powertrains through downsizing, adding direct injection and even forced induction with small turbochargers. Combine that with new transmissions that range from eight- to 10-speed units and it’s clear how fuel economy can improve without going electric.
SEE ALSO: Mazda Seeks 50 Percent Better Fuel Economy by 2020
Take the Ford Fiesta EcoBoost for example, equipped with a small 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine that gets an EPA-estimated 37-mpg combined rating. Vehicle owners reportedly get even better fuel economy than what’s stated and those figures are comparable to that from a Triumph Speed Triple motorcycle.

Chris Evans Promises More Motorcycles on the New Top Gear
The king is dead, long live the king, they say. Jeremy Clarkson, alongside James May and Richard Hammond are no longer a part of the popular TV show Top Gear, and the first name confirmed is that of Chris Evans. After signing a three-year deal with the BBC, Evans went of and said that more motorbike features will be included in the future seasons.
A DJ, multi-millionaire car collector and more recently, motorcycle enthusiast, Chris Evans sets out to “respect what has gone on before and take the show forward.” While such declarations are in a way, expectable as they seem to please the old, loyal fans of the show, Evans might be the breath of fresh air the BBC program needed to take things into the new era.
Extending the vehicle base might bring a new, more engaging Top Gear
Many Top Gear fans were quite vocal and expressed their utter disappointment for Clarkson not returning to the set, and his other two colleagues preferring to stay away from the BBC, as well, and said that they might very well stop watching the show.
Still, I believe that even the most hardcore Clarkson fans will at least take a peek at the new Top Gear. Evans already mentioned that more motorcycles will be featured on Top Gear.
Even more, it looks like Chris Evans is already seeking for feedback from the audience as to what other types of vehicles could go well with the future Top Gear.
‘There will be more motorbikes on the new Top Gear. Do you think we should go to The TT? Hovercraft/motorbike, motorbike/hovercraft. Car show ? Er – lunar module ??? Anyone ??? Jet ski ??? Anyone ??? Waiting. . . .’ he tweeted.
With the first Top Gear episodes still a rather distant moment, it’s impossible to tell now how will the new show be like. It goes without saying that nothing will be the same, but a slightly different approach to more sides of the motoring phenomenon might be exactly what was needed in order to make things grow.
Evans’ other colleagues are yet unknown, and they might have a say in the future of Top Gear. Time and Evans will tell.

All eyes on Milan as Men's Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow
Model presenting creations part of the Giorgio Armani collection show during the Autumn/Winter 2015 Men’s Fashion Week on January 20, 2015 in Milan. ― AFP picMILAN, June 18 ― In just a few days, the fashion world will be focusing its lens on Milan, where the Spring/Summer 2016 collections will be unveiled at Men’s Fashion Week.
“Milano Moda Uomo” is the chance for the most stylish of cities to strut its stuff for the world. The fashion capital of Italy knows how to do drama ― the last men’s shows in the city, for Autumn/Winter 2015/16, saw homegrown brand Corneliani set up an enchanted tree on the runway while models strutted through fake snowflakes, while John Varvatos covered the catwalk with leaves and Antonio Marras parked a real New York cab on his stage.
This time around tere will be a heavy emphasis on upcoming talent, with promising names such as Leitmotiv, Andrea Pompilio and new label Facetasm, which has been given show space by Giorgio Armani, all featuring on the schedule.
This summer’s edition opens with German label Dirk Bikkembergs and closes with Stella Jean, known for combining the principles of Italian haute couture with her métissage and Creole heritage. Collections to watch include Costume National Homme, John Richmond, Pringle of Scotland and grande dame Vivienne Westwood. The luxury Italian houses will also be out in force, with Marni, Versace, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Missoni, Bottega Veneta and Fendi showing new collections, among others. Meanwhile attention will also be on American design house Ralph Lauren, which will be showing its Purple Label collection Saturday (the Polo collection will be seen next month in New York).
There will be plenty of action away from the catwalk, too, with special events being thrown by lingerie brand La Perla, Caruso and Sportmax.
Milano Modo Uomo runs June 19-23. ― AFP-Relaxnews

Watch Florence Foster Jenkins footage: First look at 1940s cars driving along Liverpool's Pier Head
This exclusive behind the scenes video of Meryl Streep’s new movie was captured by Echo photographers as the Hollywood superstar continues to film in Liverpool.
The footage, showing several classic cars as they drive along Liverpool’s Pier Head, as part of the shoot for the upcoming Stephen Frears film Florence.
It gives a glimpse of the action from the Hollywood drama, which also stars Hollywood A-lister Hugh Grant.
The scene features a cavalcade of rare 1940s American cars, including Chryslers, Packards and Chevrolets making their way through Liverpool which is doubling for New York.
Crews filmed the vehicles after the major stars and extras, who were dressed in period costumes, shot their own scenes in the city’s Drury Lane yesterday.
Big names including Mission Impossible’s Rebecca Ferguson and The Big Bang Theory star Simon Helberg also came to Merseyside for the movie.
Rebecca was pictured earlier in the week at the wheel of a 1940s classic car, with Hugh as her passenger, in New Brighton.
Stephen Frears’ latest biopic tells the tale of New York heiress Florence Foster Jenkins, played by Meryl Streep, who dreams of becoming an opera singer, despite a terrible singing voice.
Hugh Grant plays Foster Jenkins’ supportive husband and manager St Clair Bayfield.
The film’s release date is yet to be announced.

5 biggest factors in men's health
What factors have the biggest effect on men’s health? Is it the right supplement, the right medication, maybe genetics? No, actually it is more basic than that.
Most male patients I treat who are in their 20’s, are healthy. Most men in their 40’s, who have maintained their health, have practiced healthy habits like a good diet, regular exercise, not smoking, limiting alcohol and getting enough sleep.

How Motocross Riders Don't Die All the Time
Motocross is unquestionably dangerous. Like every form of motorsport, it involves a vehicle—in this case a small- to medium-displacement dirtbike, almost always under 500 cc. And it requires that you go out and go faster than someone else.
The catch comes in the bike. Unlike, say, a race car, the design of a racing motorcycle has little impact on its operator’s safety in a crash. If you fall off a bike, you’re going to hit something—usually, but not always, the ground. Motocross and its stadium-born cousin, Supercross, increase the risk, with their big speeds, close traffic, and propensity for bikes to fly through the air in the course of normal competition.
Off-road bike racing is undoubtedly awesome, but you can’t argue that the sport contains a certain amount of seeming impossibility. How do people do this and not break bones every five minutes? Has modern technology changed injuries? And what does a career racing dirt bikes teach you?
To get a better idea of how motocross riders stay alive, we talked to three people from different corners of the moto world: provocateur Ricky Johnson, who retired due to injury at the ripe old age of 26; Chris Sackett, the vice president of Bell Helmets, the company that invented the purpose-built motorcycle helmet; and Jeremy Appleton, a motorsport specialist for safety-gear manufacturer AlpineStars.
They all viewed motocross a little differently, but each man had two things in common: A love for motorcycles hauling ass on dirt, and a desire to see guys do it as safely—and quickly—as possible.
Is there any correlation between talent or experience, and how often a rider falls?
Ricky Johnson: You fall at much higher frequency in the beginning, because you’re learning. You’re constantly pushing the envelope. But once you get to the pro ranks, you start learning how to conserve yourself. At least some pros do. They’ll have a freak accident or they do crash every now and then, but it’s not on a frequent basis, because they can’t, because any injury takes them out of the championship.
Conserve yourself physically, or also mentally?
RJ: Your job every weekend is to show up. Your next job is to perform. And the ultimate goal is to win. But first thing, you have to be healthy. So you have to make sure that you’re not overtraining, that you’re not taking unnecessary risks, that you’re trying to constantly be faster and better and better. But do it so that you’re not throwing yourself on the ground.
Is it in any way tied to the engine size of the bike? Or is it all the same—if you’re on the beginning of the learning curve, you get hurt, no matter the equipment?
RJ: No, a smaller displacement bike is definitely the way to go. I work with military special forces [training them to ride motorcycles], and all these guys are very strong, very capable, very alpha male. And the first thing they say is, “I want a 450.” And I say no, because when you have a newer rider, he panics, he doesn’t know what to do to save it. And so a lot of times, guys will get hurt on the bigger-displacement bikes because something will happen, they’ll grab a handful of throttle, and the bike takes them either into something that they don’t want, or takes them faster into a section where they were trying to slow down.
Chris Sackett, Bell Helmets: The sport of motocross is pretty violent, it’s pretty aggressive, but there’s different levels. A guy who’s been doing it for years is going to be jumping further, higher, going faster. They might not crash as often, but when they do, it’s probably more violent.
When you fall in a race environment, is it like on a street bike, where you occasionally have a choice in how your body lands? Or is it just a case of things always moving too quickly—you hit where you hit?
RJ: It depends on the crash. I encourage people to stay on the bike if you can. You have the suspension and linkage and tires and all of this thing that will absorb a lot of the shock, if you, say, jump too far. A lot of times, when a bike goes and they get scared, the beginner seems to want to jump off first. But sometimes things happen so fast, you don’t have a choice. You’re along for the ride.
To the layman, it looks like the safety gear hasn’t changed much over time. That can’t be true.
RJ: Certain elements have changed quite a bit. The two single biggest improvements—one is knee braces, the ones you can buy off the shelf. They can save a severely blown-out knee, an MCL and things like that. And then the foot protection. There’s not a lot of ankle injuries—the boots are so much better than they used to be.
The same thing applies to motorcycles. They run bigger foot pegs than they used to, to give guys more of a platform, and the suspension is so much stronger—but in turn, the guys are jumping ‘em further and jumping ‘em bigger. So once again, gravity comes back into play! [Laughs] It’s great when you’re goin’ good, but when you crash, you crash.
CS: A guy who’s been doing it for years is going to be jumping further, higher, going faster. They might not crash as often, but when they do, it’s probably more violent. The point being, there’s such a variation in crash energies, and the certification for motorcycle helmets—and when I say certification for helmets, it’s the same certification for all motorcycle helmets, whether it’s a street helmet, or a scooter helmet, or a motocross helmet. They go after the worst accident you could possibly have, the energies you’re going to see and actually possibly survive. And they kind of set the standard around that. So helmets historically have been manufactured to pass this standard that’s pretty high-energy.
There’s now a lot of focus on low-speed energy, protecting the wearer against low-speed crashes, mid-speed crashes. A new system of injuries is rotational, where your brain is actually rotating inside your head. And that can cause connective-tissue tears, which can lead to concussion, brain injury, that sort of thing. So we’re doing more comprehensive testing in a development process. In the end what you get is a product that’s gonna help protect you in a lot more variety of types of crashes.
Jeremy Appleton, Alpinestars: Safety’s kept pace with the development in technology with bikes and tracks, every bit of the way. With body armor—because motocross is such a physical activity, either taking place inside a stadium, which is hot, or outdoors, in the summer months—riders have been reluctant to wear a lot of close-body protection. Simply because it increases the physical stress. It’s hot and heavy.
So with the advent of improved materials and better design and production techniques, we have much lighter, but improved, body protection. So riders are now able to wear protective impact shields under their jerseys. In the past, you might have seen riders just wearing a basic plastic protector on top of their jersey. It just prevented them from being bruised heavily, from all the stones and dirt fired out from the bike they were following.
That seems like a remarkable amount of nothing, in terms of protection.
JA: Things have changed, particularly in the United States. With the advent of these huge aerial Supercross tracks, we’ve also introduced neck protection, because we’re seeing increasingly—and unfortunately—catastrophic neck injuries. Paralyzations.
Is the increase in paralyzing crashes attributable to anything specific?
JA: The [faster] bikes and the jumps have undoubtedly contributed, simply because riders are traveling quicker, flying higher, and the margin of error is coming down. Because speed and height are more difficult to control.
But the biggest single issue has been in either landing badly or losing control, and then being pitched off the bike as the result of getting a jump wrong. Seeing riders being launched into the ground head-first with their bodies following their heads—it’s like a falling spear. And the human neck is just not designed to take massive compressive forces.
For a long time, helmet manufacturers didn’t publicize safety claims, either because the public didn’t care, or fear of litigation. So helmets didn’t evolve, or at least didn’t seem to.
CS: All the way back to 1954, when Bell invented the first motorcycle helmet—it was a composite shell with an EPS liner. Until the last few years, everyone’s been using that. Now, the liner got thicker, and the standards got harder to pass, but other than that, there hasn’t been any change.
A lot of it had to do with, since the ’90s, litigation just got out of control in the United States. In the early ’90s, there were 25 helmet companies, and it got whittled down to, like, five, just from litigation. Some rightfully so—some companies were putting crap onto the market, and people were getting hurt. But the reality is, when you have ambulance chasers, no one wants to talk about safety, or what their helmets do to protect the rider, because it’s just going to get you into legal hot water.
JA: I’m afraid all that we can do is be entirely honest. To say, look, we’ve designed this to the maximum capability of what we believe is currently possible. Be that with materials or the construction or the design and the sheer performance, if you like, of the product. But we cannot guarantee that any piece will do the job completely.
Motorcycling, in whatever form you enjoy it, has risks associated with it. You can mitigate the risk by wearing good levels of protection and good product, but you can’t remove the risk entirely. It’s an unfortunate fact of life.
CS: We and many other large companies have stayed away from safety being the focus on [marketing]. It doesn’t mean that we weren’t developing and designing helmets, because that’s the sad thing—in the last five or ten years, we’ve actually made a lot of progress in the composites we use, the way we mold foams, etc. We’ve been able to mold foams in different densities [for different impact speeds], in different layers, for the last ten years. But if we dared talk about that, or gave the consumer the perceived notion that it would make them safer, we’d have problems down the road.
It’s very easy, when we haven’t been telling the story of helmet evolution, for companies to come in and go, “Look at this shiny object! We’ve put these smoke and mirrors in this helmet, and it’s different!” Quite frankly, we’ve put a lot of these smaller helmets to the test, and they test horribly. But long story short, [we decided to] jump in very carefully. We’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on testing, and getting a little more daring with our claims, and backing it up with science.
With gear, are most of these components designed to work together, or can they all be paired individually?
JA: Alpinestars, obviously, we build body protection—chest protection, knee braces, back protection—and then the neck support. When it comes to the helmet, it’s a slightly different thing, because you’re introducing a product that’s being created by a different manufacturer.
What we did, given that the relationship between the helmet and our neck support system is so critical, we made a conscious effort to go and see the key helmet manufacturers, to explain our research and the design we had come up with. Just so they could understand how significant the design of the base of the helmet is, it helps getting the load away from the neck and onto the neck support. Which is a rigid device that fits below the helmet.
So in that respect, we’ve made a conscious effort to try and make sure that, even though we are not in control of design of helmets, our technology could work with other products on the market. But in other respects, it’s hard, because we design our body protection systems to work with our neck support—there’s a cutout on the chest and on the back to allow the neck support to fit properly with the upper-body protection. But if you buy a product from a different company, it doesn’t necessarily go together.
Do a lot of riders change their riding styles with age, maybe focus more on safety?
RJ: Me personally, my style didn’t change a lot—I just kept honing, just minimizing mistakes. But I got injured at a young age—I had to retire [at 26], after another rider landed on me. Just a freak accident. Before that, it was all about winning. It’s like Days of Thunder: “I’m more worried about bein’ nothin’ than I am about bein’ hurt.”
But it doesn’t have to be a national pro. You talk to a kid in the 9-to-11 intermediate class, they’re there to win, and they’ll go through a burning wall to do it. In motocross, just like in wrestling and MMA and special forces, you find a lot of alpha males that wanna be The Guy. And they’re willing to put up with the pain and take the chances to do it.

Groovy baby! 1970s men's clothing advertisements show just how cringe-worthy fashion was 40 ...
- These 1970s men’s clothing advertisements feature bell bottoms, cable-knit sweaters and short shorts
- The models’ flowing hairstyles and handlebar mustaches are a clear sign of the times, dating back 40 years
- Puns and phrases like ‘Underwear that’s funtawear’ and ‘For whom the bells tolll’ fill the ads
Kelly Mclaughlin For Dailymail.com
The 1970s were a weird time for fashion, as bell bottoms proved popular, often paired with outrageous patterns and cable-knit everything.
The high-waist pants, skimpy briefs and synthetic fabrics that are often seen as faux pas today hit the catwalks as some of the most popular fashion choices of the decade.
In these men’s clothing advertisements from 40 years ago, the strange and bizarre fashion of the 1970s is in full force, as men don sweaters with belts, leotards, knee-length nightgowns and hats of all variety.
The men appear confident and proud to be wearing what was the it-clothing of the decade.
And to perfectly match their dated clothing, the mens’ flowing hairstyles and handlebar mustaches are a clear sign of the times.
Puns and phrases like ‘Underwear that’s funtawear’, referring to barely there briefs, and ‘For whom the bells toll’ for a series of bell bottoms, fill the advertisements that are just as cringe-worthy as they are hilarious.
These men already know for whom the bells toll: them. Bell bottoms proved to be a popular styling choice in the 1970s, and these ‘ultra-slim fit, low rise’ pants came in a color for everyone
Who needs zippers and buttons? These men show that open shirts and drawstring pants – with unusual cutouts – can be appropriate party attire
No pants necessary: These advertisements seem to support playing volleyball and rollerskating pants-less, and who needs fabric on the thighs to be stylish, anyway?
Handy: Have trouble tucking your shirt into your pants? This underwear-dress-shirt combination jumpsuit is perfect for the man who doesn’t want any bagginess at his waistline
Bedtime: These men look ready to hit the sack in their silk robes and pants as their friend fixes the collar on his neatly-pressed pajama shirt
Support: Who needs a belt on your pants when you can show off that great waistline with a belted sweater? Don’t forget to accessorize with a wide-brimmed hat or striped undershirt
Jumpsuit: When putting on pants and a shirt is too hard, try doing it all at once with a bell-bottomed one piece. Perhaps you’ll become a ‘walking turn-on’ with this easy-on, easy-off outfit, as the advertisement suggests
All in one: When a three-piece suit is too much to handle, go with a vest-pants combination all four men are showing off above. A jacket can then be added, as seen on the man second from the left
Next step: Once you have your matching underwear and tank top ready to go, don’t forget to pick a matching pair of bells that will flatter your top
Goodnight: Get ready for bed with one of these fashionable knee-length nightgowns, perfect for those who get cold up top but like to feel free down below
Cable everywhere: Colorful knitted and crocheted vests, cardigans and ponchos seemed to be the talk of the town in the 1970s
Accessorize: These fashionable men finished off their dressy looks with belts, jewelry, scarves and pipes. It’s hard to say who was best dressed at the event
Buddies: A man can only hope that he has friends as good as these men, who appear to have dressed just as fashionably and didn’t mind being a little matchy-matchy
Twins: And obviously, the best accessory to any outfit is a sheep whose wool matches the patterned sweater you’re wearing. Of course, a scarf is a decent replacement
Colorful: When in doubt, stick to a color scheme as these to men did. The men on the left chose maroon, white and yellow, while the man on the right chose yellow and brown
Daisy Dukes: While the men on the left show off their tanks and underwear, the man on the right appears to have shorter shorts than the woman he’s running with
Storage: When you’re out of drawer space, try out a circular hanger for underwear. And perhaps the cable-knit vested man on the right can draw up a blue print for a new closet
Puns: The men on the left seem to show team pride by donning the same color, while the advertisement team on the right appeared to use a play on words with the phrase Black Power
Night out: These men on the left are dressed for an evening on the town as they impatiently wait for their friends, who have yet to even put on their shoes
Thighs: Advertisements again prove that you don’t seem to need pants to go about everyday activities such as taking part in a pick-up round of tennis or reading a good book
Everyday or fancy dress? Though the men on the left look ready for an average day out, it’s hard to tell if the men on the right are planning on joining their friends or going to a costume party
Weather ready: As they say, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices, and with either of these outfits you’ll be ready for anything the day throws at you
Ensemble: For your next day out, try matching a patterned pair of bell bottoms with a belted cable-knit sweater, and you’ll be the most fashionable man in the room
Self-esteem: Above all, a little confidence goes a long way, so put on that sweater shirt, rock those salmon pants and accessorize with a belt, necklace and a smile, and you’ll be the talk of the town
Groovy baby! 1970s men"s clothing advertisements show just how cringe-worthy fashion was 40 ...
Classic cars make classic show in downtown Peabody
PEABODY — They gleam like gems. And on a glorious Sunday afternoon it wasn’t surprising that downtown Peabody got a good turnout for its second-annual Classic Car show on Main Street.
A kind of fairground atmosphere marked the day, as the street was closed to traffic for more than four hours.
Classic vehicles, some going back nearly 100 years, lined Main Street, backed into spaces from Washington Street to Park Street, with still more in adjacent lots. This came despite the fact it was a rain date, explained Ron Khasibian of the Essex County Cruisers, the group that helped put the event together.
“It’s a pretty good show today,” he said, noting the various booths and, a new feature, the food court. Car owners were kept busy explaining the intricacies of keeping their Model As, ’57 Chevys and Ford trucks running and, in most cases, shinning. “They put a lot of money in the paint jobs,” explained Khasibian, a retired Raytheon engineer.
Chuck Fitzpatrick of Lynn has been in love with cars since he bought his first while still a 14-year-old living in Vermont. Yesterday, his 1951 Ford Beachwagon, also known as a “woody,” had the look of a brand new vehicle parked in the showroom. How did he do it? “You take the whole car apart. Then you put it back together working your way up.” He did the job last year. “It was a rust bucket,” he smiled as opened the flawless door.
In restorations, he explained, some old parts are sandblasted and painted to look like new. Some are simply replaced with new parts. Unlike modern vehicles with plastics made to look like wood, this car has paneling originating with a tree. It’s applied both inside and out.
“It’s hard to drive,” Fitzpatrick conceded. “No power brakes, power steering.” But he takes his wife out in it all the same and enjoys the head turning looks the car gets. Modern cars might be safer, more durable, but he nods when someone suggests there’s a depressing sameness about them.
“People like the old cars,” said Fitzpatrick, also retired as the owner of a business repairing forklifts. “They’re interested.” He gestured to the crowds walking past, stopping to study the vehicles, walking around them, looking at the interior, snapping photos. “Look how many people are here.”
Clark Labbe of Danvers brought his ’57 Chevy, souped-up with a portion of the engine protruding from a gap in the hood. “I like to drive,” he smiled, showing off his vehicle. Only last month he celebrated Memorial Day by appearing in Beverly’s parade driving a Sherman tank. “I built this,” he pointed to his car, “after watching ‘American Graffiti."”
Nearby, Tom Blackler of Marblehead stressed that his 1929 Model A Roadster, complete with rumble seat, features all original parts. “I sandblasted and painted everything,” he smiled, sitting behind the wheel and causing some passersby to jump as he demonstrated the oogah horn.
Paula Burnet and husband Milt were here because it was beautiful day, she said. It was instructive too. They learned something about old cars. The couple lingered over a model from the 1920s. To qualify for the show vehicles were required to have an antique license, available from the state only when a car is older than 25 years
The Downtown Association sponsored the event as a way to get more people to visit local shops. “I think this is a bigger crowd than last year,” said a delighted Joan Morrissey of the Association. “The cars are beautiful.” She resolved that they will do it again next year, “With the good graces of the city.”

Top 5 Foods for Men's Peak Sexual Health

Supplements to improve men’s sexual health are a dime a dozen, but why take your tonics in pill form when you can include them in your regular meals? Whether you’re looking for ways to improve your sperm motility, a natural cure for erectile dysfunction or special foods to rev up your libido, check out our selection of foods to work into your diet to maximize your sexual health.
1. Watermelon This deliciously juicy red fruit is loaded with citrulline, which may alleviate erectile dysfunction, specifically if it’s caused by high blood pressure. Citrulline is converted into arginine, which boosts the natural production of nitric oxide. And nitric oxide has the benefit of increasing blood flow to muscle tissue as well as male genitalia, which improves male sexual function.
2. Walnuts If family and weight-loss medicine physician Dr. Spencer Nadolsky had to recommend a single food for men’s health, he’d pick the humble walnut. Not only does it improve sperm vitality, motility and morphology in healthy young men, it also improves endothelial function (the health of the lining of our blood vessels).

We typically think of cardiovascular disease when discussing endothelial function but it’s also linked to erectile dysfunction. Foods that improve endothelial function open up the blood vessels and therefore can help with erections. Walnuts are also rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, the plant-based omega-3 essential fatty acid), antioxidants, magnesium and more.
3. Peaches Not only are peaches delicious, their high vitamin C content makes them a good choice for sperm motility, says fitness nutrition specialist Joey Thurman. “A study came out that shows that men who were smokers for the majority of their lives who increased their vitamin C intake…and were considered infertile became fertile,” he explained. In addition, vitamin C lowers the stress hormone cortisol.
Cortisol and testosterone can quickly get out of balance, and the higher your cortisol levels are, says Thurman, the lower your testosterone levels are going to be. “Those two hormones are competing against each other,” he explains, so lowering your cortisol will help your testosterone shine.
4. Chocolate “Every time they’ve studied chocolate for cardiovascular health and diabetes, they always find that it is beneficial,” says physician and Endocrinology Fellow Dr. Karl Nadolsky, so now you can indulge in moderate amounts of dark chocolate without guilt.

It improves your circulation, which can help with blood flow to your genitalia, which will improve your ability to get an erection. And the phenylethylamine in chocolate can affect the serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain.
5. Leafy Greens Leafy greens are packed with nutrients, but that’s not all they’re full of. They’re loaded with magnesium as well. “One great thing that magnesium does is dilate blood vessels, which essentially is what Viagra was trying to do – increase blood flow to the male genitalia to get a better erection,” says Thurman. So bring on the spinach and kale and Brussels sprouts. Cabbage, Swiss chard and any green leafy veggies will also do the trick.
