MANUAL
ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // SEWING ON A BUTTON > In case of emergency, read quickly.
Stuck with a jacket that won't close or pants held together with a safety pin? Sewing on a button is one of the most basic sewing skills you can do in a few quick steps. Ashley Darnell, a junior from Haviland, enjoys sewing and always repairs her own buttons. "You want to match the replacement button and thread to the original button, otherwise it will look silly."
Follow these steps to secure a button that has come off:
1) Thread needle with a matching color thread and knot the two ends together, doubling the string.
2) Check the other buttons to see how they are threaded. Most follow a crisscross pattern or two straight lines. "I like to use a crisscross if it is just for me, because it holds stronger," Darnell says.
3) Starting from the back of the fabric feed the needle up and down through the holes in the button following the pattern the other buttons use.
4) Repeat at least three times to make sure the button is secure.

on a garment a broken button or sewing
one back onto a garment is easy to do yourself.
5) To tie off the thread, feed needle down
through the button to the back of the fabric and tie a double knot.
Heavier fabrics, like those used in coats, need a little extra attention to keep their buttons secure. "With coats, you want to leave a little space between the fabric and the button so it has a little give while you move," says Kim of Kim's Alterations, located at 2201 W. 25th St. in Lawrence. "Sometimes with leather you can put another button on the back of the fabric as well to make it sturdier," says Kim.

DOING WITHOUT // EATING MEAT > Absence makes the heart grow. ?
I've thought about becoming vegetarian, but never actually gone through with it. So I did some research on the different types of vegetarianism and decided vegan was too strict for me, but lactovegetarian, which still includes dairy, would be a good fit.
I was really unsure whether or not I would like this experiment. My shopping cart contained foods I wouldn't normally buy: tofu, soy cheese, and Morningstar veggie burgers. One of my main concerns, besides the worrisome texture of tofu, was making sure I was getting enough protein. But soy products, as well as nuts, seeds and grains like quinoa are full of protein and are good for you. "The vegetarian lifestyle is much lower in saturated fat because the food isn't as processed, and the fats come from plants, so they're healthier," says Kylene Etzel, a dietitian for Hy-Vee stores in Lawrence.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the Morningstar burgs. They didn't taste like fake meat, and are a quick and easy lunch. I also made tofu stir-fry with carrots, snap-peas, water chestnuts, broccoli and red bell peppers. The tofu was what I was most reluctant to try, but I was also surprised at how
much I liked it. Tofu pretty much tastes like whatever you put it in, and has a texture more like an avocado than the mush I was expecting.
With any major change in diet, baby steps are a good way to ease into it. I may not become fully vegan but this week I felt a lot healthier. This change may just become permanent.

Vegging Out: A meatless diet requires high-protein foods, such as tofu, nuts and soy products.
Stoops, to former South Florida coach Jim Leavitt — the list of candidates doesn't stop at Leach. And it certainly doesn't stop at the three aforementioned coaches.
It was rumored that Zenger had been setting up interviews earlier this week. It has been confirmed that on Wednesday he was not in Lawrence, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony, and possibly out interviewing the candidates who remain on his wish list. With Zenger's background as a coach and his track record of hiring a football coach at Illinois State, combined with the bounty of good candidates still available, KU fans should not worry about who Zenger chooses for next season.
Mike Leach was the best coach available this off-season, and for whatever reason it didn't work out. However, the opportunity to hire a coach near Leach's ability without any of his baggage could be considered a victory. But as Kansas football fans now know all too well, games are won in the fall, not in press conferences in December.

Houston's Kevin Sumlin is emerging as the favorite, but according to the Washington Post, he's had several conversations with the Hruston Athletic Director about a contract extension to stay at Houston. Sumlin also said no other school has contacted him. The Chicago Tribune reported that Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz is interested in the job.

Southern Mississippi coach Larry Fedora has been heavily linked to the job, as well as Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, but the sporting news reported Smart has not interviewed with Ole Miss yet.

Interim coach Everett Witers interviewed for the job after leading the Tar Heels to a 7-5 record this season. The Tar Heels could try and sneak popular Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Matzhn, or they could make a stretch, which CBSsports.com Greg Doyle says they should do, and hire Randy Shannon to clean up their program.
