Printing starts from a balanced standing position with a quick burst of energy using upper body strength.

The vision of one of the area’s best-regarded bartenders, Beau Williams, and his wife, Keely Edgington, Julep has already become a popular destination since it opened just over a week ago at 4141 Pennsylvania. With its high-ceilings, gleaming chandeliers, smart furniture and beaded window dressings, Julep is a tribute to southern charm and old-fashioned whiskey bars. Nurtured at lounges like speakeasy-themed Manifesto (downstairs at 1924 Main St.) and Westport Café Bar (419 Westport Road), the area’s craft cocktail scene has hit a new pinnacle with the addition of Julep Cocktail Club in Westport.

On the booze side, Kansas City is practically flooded with craft beers and microbrews at various festivals and new venues like Big Rip Brewing Company, a taproom and brewery at 216 E. I’ve also heard rave reviews for the burnt ends at L C’s Bar-B-Q (5800 Blue Parkway, near the Truman Sports Complex) and Woodyard Bar-B-Que on 3001 Merriam Lane in Kansas City, Kan. This uniquely Kansas City item was again celebrated in 2010 by “Serious Eats” writer James Boo, who called burnt ends “nuggets of barbecue gold.” My favorite burnt ends dishes are the sandwich at Gates (available daily), or the exquisite cubes of ‘cue served at Oklahoma Joe’s on Mondays and Saturdays at lunch, and on Wednesdays after 4 p.m. Take barbecue, for example, specifically the charred, savory, succulent ends of beef brisket known as “burnt ends.” Burnt ends were first written about decades ago by Calvin Trillin, in praise of his beloved Arthur Bryant’s, the legendary establishment at 1727 Brooklyn. On the other hand, when you’re really, really good at something, why not take a little pride in it? The stage remarks were a funny but slightly regrettable reminder that people’s associations with Kansas City often begin with barbecue and end with booze. ![]() ![]() ![]() One common scenario is when you're dealing with a missed deadline.

In historical movies, the costuming ends up representing a random mixture of different epochs and regions, or even contains fantasy elements, creating an appealing style-but an inaccurate one.Table 1: Occupations and Crafts in Medieval London Since a lot of false information and myths circulate about the Middle Ages, the costumes are frequently changed to fit the story of the movie or simply are not carefully enough researched. Views on medieval clothing are commonly derived from movies in which the actors’ outfits aren’t based on historical facts. Today, many people harbor a biased, overly generalized view of the Middle Ages, often ignoring significant differences among epochs or regions. Also, married women were expected to cover their hair, a rule, that, however, declined in importance by the end of the Middle Ages, and as a consequence, women started wearing elaborate hairstyles and headdresses. Yet this attitude was gradually set aside over the course of time during the Middle Ages. Women’s garments had to be longer than those of men, as it was unseemly for them to reveal too much of their figure or undergarments. The fashion among the nobles for instance changed rather rapidly throughout the era, whereas the peasantry’s clothing remained more or less the same, since they had fewer resources at their disposal than did the rich and their clothes didn’t need to be stylish but rather practical. Not only the wearer’s station in life played a role here, but also gender, region, and the given sub-epoch within the Middle Ages. ![]() Sometimes clothing in the Middle Ages varied, due to the sumptuary laws and financial considerations. ![]() Differences in clothing in the middle ages Their main goal was to prevent the peasantry from dressing in the kind of clothes the nobles fancied. ![]() Because clothes in the Middle Ages were often used to recognize the wearer’s station in life and had therefore a more symbolic function, sumptuary laws decided which stratum was allowed to wear-or prohibited from wearing-a given kind of clothing. Even though there is an enormous difference in the way people dressed during the various eras of the Middle Ages, throughout all strata of the European population it was common to wear clothing in layers that were often divided into outer- and undergarments. The Middle Ages encompasses an enormous time span in the history of mankind-from the 6th to the 15th centuries. ![]() |
