Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba rejoins Man Utd for world record fee
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
London, Aug 9 (ANI): Manchester United on Tuesday confirmed that Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has signed a five-year deal with the Old Trafford club with the option to extend for a further year. The 23-year-old, who left United in 2012 due to lack of playing opportunities under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, agreed the deal for a world record fee of 110 million euros, the Guardian reported. United completed this summerÆs high-profile transfer after Pogba flew to Manchester for a medical exam. Reflecting on his comeback to Old Trafford, Pogba said that he was looking forward to working with JosΘ Mourinho and added that United was the right club for him æto achieve everything I hope to in the gameÆ. This is MourinhoÆs fourth signing since he replaced Louis van Gaal at the helm of United. Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were the other players who were added to bolster the squad this summer. United will kick start their Premier League season at Bournemouth on Sunday. (ANI)

Earlier this year, West Ashley boys' basketball coach Ronnie DuPre recorded his career 500th victory. Then, following a respectable season in which the Wildcats made it to the second round of the playoffs, DuPre was inducted into the the South Carolina Basketball Coaches' Hall of Fame.
DuPre has coached for three decades at James Island and West Ashley high schools. He has won a state championship with the Trojans and has been to the Lowerstate Finals four times. He has been named Region Coach of the Year eight times, and was named Post & Courier Boy's Lowcountry Coach of the Year on two separate occasions. DuPre coached the South Carolina All-Star team in the North-South Game.
West Of had the opportunity to chat with the accomplished basketball coach about his achievements on the court and what his future might hold. Here is part of that conversation:
West Of: What's it feel like to be inducted into the SC Basketball Coaches' Hall of Fame?
Ronnie DuPre: It was quite an honor to be inducted into the SC Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame. To be a member of the same group as former NBA coach George Glymph and multiple State Championship winning coaches like Tim Whipple of Irmo and John Smith of Great Falls was never really a goal of mine. Locally, to be selected along with Paul Runey of Bishop England and Earl Brown of Burke, it is an honor because I know the great influence they have had on young people in the area.
WO: Where does this rank on memorable moments in your career?
RD: This ranks very high in terms of memorable moments in my coaching career. But it is more about the players. It is not so much about what I have done in the past 25 or 30 years but it is more about what the players are going to accomplish in the next 25 or 30 years. One of the goals has always been to help the young men grow and mature to become positive contributors to their community.
WO: What else, if anything, do you hope to accomplish before hanging up your whistle?
RD: I would really like to get West Ashley High into the Lower State Championship or State Championship game. We've had several teams that were probably good enough to advance to the Lower State Finals but because of pairings or a poor performance at an inopportune time we have fallen short.
WO: Since basketball is a team sport, who do you credit with helping you achieve this honor?
RD: The success of any program depends on having outstanding players who are willing to sacrifice some personal goals for the good of the team. I have had a ton of kids who did that. One needs supportive administrators, outstanding assistant coaches, and dedicated volunteers and I have been extremely fortunate to have had all of those.
WO: What does the future hold for you?
RD: My goal is to get the Wildcats deep into the playoffs so our community can be proud and get excited and our student body can generate and demonstrate their school spirit. I am motivated by the thought of that happening.

We're about 95 percent happy for Chelsea (Houska) Deboer, and maybe 5 percent jealous. After all, she seems to have achieved her happily ever after, complete with two gorgeous kids and a devoted, hot-as-hell hubby. She's been sharing adorable photos of Cole DeBoer with baby Watson, and we seriously cannot get enough.
The Teen Mom 2 star has been sharing some of her behind-the-scenes life with her fans on social media, and we're all basically just melting into a puddle over what an awesome daddy Cole is.
More from CafeMom: Chelsea DeBoer's Family Is About to Get a Little Bigger
She's been posting quite a few of her new little bundle on Snapchat, and Cole even reposted this one to his own Instagram. He added the caption, "life complete!" along with a heart emoji.
And check out this adorable snap of Cole doing a bit of baby-wearing. Little Watson looks snuggled in so perfectly!
More from CafeMom: Chelsea DeBoer's Son Watson Is the Spitting Image of Cole in Side-by-Side Pics
Ugh, is he dreamy or what? Seeing as Chelsea has had to deal with Aubree's dad, Adam Lind, for so many years (and obviously continuing into the the future), it's awesome that Chels and Cole found each other. Sure, he's major eye candy, but he's also an amazing dad and husband.
Chelsea and her kiddos deserve to have someone who treats them like gold.

Fear the Wolves debuts at E3 2018 in first footage – Early Access starts this Summer on Steam
Focus Home Interactive and the developers at Vostok Games have revealed a new Fear the Wolves E3 trailer. This is a first glimpse at the dark setting, player vs environment elements, and endgame extraction of this Battle Royale FPS.
About The Game:
Drop into a radioactive wasteland with nothing but your wits, fists, and whatever you can find to protect you. Deadly mutated wildlife, the organic spread of radiation, unexplainable anomalies, and 99 other players stand in your way on your long march to the extraction helicopter inside the final zone.
To defend oneself, the players have an arsenal of scavenged weaponry. The fire-axe is a silent killer but won't do much good as the knife in a gunfight. Abandoned weaponry is scattered around the map, but you will need to scavenge from air drops, caches and radioactive areas to find the most powerful gear. Every other player will be after them too, bringing the wolves with them.
Wolves are the first of mutants to be revealed. Roaming in packs and picking off stragglers, they have adapted to the radioactive environment and evolved into savage, decaying beasts. While on their own they pose a mere inconvenience, a pack will drain the players' ammo and leave them injured – or worse – if the player isn't careful. They're just as deadly and hostile to the enemies, and how the player uses that will determine the chance of survival.
As the radioactivity of an area worsens, reality begins to break down. Dangerous areas distort and enter flux as they pulse with radiation. In the early stages, the adrenaline from sprinting will stop the player from taking damage, but after that only gas masks and hazard suits will keep the poisonous air and deadly rays out.
Extraction is your ultimate goal. Fear the Wolves challenges players to get out how they came in, with a final dash to an extraction helicopter that accepts just one occupant. The location of the extraction zone will vary game to game, forcing adaptation and rewarding intricate map knowledge. If you manage to wipe out every other player, you still take home the victory – so choose your path wisely.
Fear the Wolves comes to PC in 2018, later on consoles. Early Access begins this summer on PC.

Naples, Florida is often referred to as the Paradise Coast and once you arrive here, you will know why. With miles of white sandy beaches, clear azure seas and more golf courses than you could play in a year, there is a lot to see and do while you're here.
Naples is a modest city of around 22,000 people across 16 square miles of prime real estate. Located on the Gulf Coast in idyllic surroundings, it is a millionaires playground. Despite this, living costs are reasonable and while there may be areas of the city that are out of reach, there really is something for everyone here.
Naples is only around 130 years or so old. Founded in the late 1880s by Senator John Stuart Williams and Walter N. Haldeman as a place to relax, the city grew slowly but steadily. The name came from the surroundings. It was often referred to as 'nicer than Naples (Italy)', so the name stuck.
Not a lot happened in Naples until after World War 2. Then after a hurricane, a new lake was dredged to fill in some land. Canals were dug and lots were created out of the mangrove swamps and coastline to create the landscape we see today. Settlers followed and slowly the city began to grow. The arrival of the railroad and the Tamiami Trail as well as interstates kept the city relevant.
The local economy is based around tourism and with idyllic surroundings, beautiful beaches and acres of wilderness, nature preserves and golf courses, there is more than just the beach to see. Apparently there are over 80 golf courses within the region but that isn't all there is to see and do.
Notable locations within Naples include: The Keewaydin Club, Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens, The Naples Players, Naples Botanical Gardens, Collier County Museums, Theatre Zone Equity Theatre Company and Palm Cottage.
For lovers of the outdoors there is; Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, Clam Pass Beach Park, Naples Municipal Beach & Fishing Pier, Everglades Tours, Ft Myers Beach, Vanderbilt Beach, North Gulfshore Boulevard Beach, Dolphin and Manatee tours, Lowdermilk Beach Park and a whole lot more.
There is more than just leisure and tourism but most companies in Naples are smaller or non-profits. Given the level of wealth here, a lot of philanthropy takes place as well as environmentally friendly organizations. A few major employers in the region include Alavista Solutions, Beasley Broadcast Group, Health Management Associates, NewsBank and ASG Software Solutions.

Video games are huge right now, especially with the influx of new gamers prompted by the ease of smartphone gaming. A 2015 study found that 42% of Americans play video games for at least three hours a week! You could easily imagine that more than 50% must play at least a bit during the week then. If around half of us are playing, it makes sense that a lot of newer games would be near the top of the sales list, when in actuality, the top spot on our list is reserved for a classic you all know and love (or love to hate).
While we aren't opposed to the occasional bit of on-the-go smartphone gaming, we've spent many a boxer-clad, chip-binging hour gaming on consoles and PCs, so we were happy to discover that most of the best-selling games are representative of the more hardcore gaming market that purchases consoles, or, if you're a true gaming snob, personal gaming computers. But which system dominates the list the most? Who comes out on top in this battle between history's greatest gaming consoles?
If you're a true gamer, like us, crack open one of your Code Red Mountain Dews as you peruse this list and get caffeinated for that all-night gaming marathon this will certainly get you in the mood for, and find out! These games are the best-selling of all time, across all platforms.
15 Grand Theft Auto IV - 25 Million Copies Sold
We aren't at all surprised to see the Grand Theft Auto series represented on this list. The games are very well done with excellent world building and a freedom of play style that lends itself well to exploration in what often seems like a very realistic, living and breathing city.
What we are curious about, though, is just what boosted the sales here. We don't mean to suggest that this has happened, but we would hate to see such a great game end up here based predominantly on the capital of teenage boys looking for the opportunity to take their aggression out digitally through a bloody combination of baseball bats and digital ladies of the night. Still, we wouldn't really be all that be surprised.
Nonetheless, this game received wide and nearly universal acclaim, particularly for its strong open world development and just the simple beauty of the world. After all, if you're going to run from the cops while running over that small group of pixelated children on the street corner, you might as well do it with a beautiful sunset in the background.
14 Call of Duty: Black Ops - 26.2 Million Copies Sold
You might remember this one as the Call of Duty with zombies. Pretty awesome, right? Who doesn't love a good zombie game. Plus, if you tend to be particularly sensitive and don't like videogame violence, it must be a bit comforting to know those digital bad guys you're taking out are digitally undead, right? And it's refreshing to see zombies finally make their way into mainstream media. We can't think of much of anything that's really featured zombies lately…
The Call of Duty series is also very popular due to its multiplayer option. It's great if you want to play like a soldier for a while without the real danger and take some headshots at some nazis. And zombies. And zombie-nazis. And part of the storyline involves trying to kill Fidel Castro, so if you hate Cuban cigars, this game might just be for you.
13 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - 26.5 Million Copies Sold
Apparently headshots are popular. They must be, because we didn't really find this game very interesting. We played it, both the campaign and some multiplayer, but we can barely remember any of the storyline. There was something about Russia, because Russians just can't seem to ever make the transition into being fictional good guys. There were also guns, explosions, and general warfare of the modern variety. Other than that, we can't tell you much about it!
The graphics were good for the time and the gameplay itself was fun and smooth. But then again, Call of Duty games are generally very well polished and smooth. This was certainly the case, but today's gamers are spoiled. We've had The Last of Us now and we crave solid stories and memorable characters. This game didn't really deliver, but it comes from a popular series and clearly managed to move quite a few units during its run.
12 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 27.5 Million Copies Sold
And so, not surprisingly, the first four entries on our list come from two incredibly popular game series. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is one of the older games in the series, but it's still one of our favourites. The game is heavily gang-related and primarily deals with the protagonist's quest to solve and avenge the murder of his mother. But people probably remember it for being heavily discussed for its perhaps gratuitous use of violence and sexually explicit content. We aren't certain, but we've heard that a certain component of the gaming community enjoys those sorts of things. Not us, though. We prefer to play nice things, like Animal Crossing and The Sims. And we never create a nice home to get our Sims comfortable before deleting the doors and setting the house on fire in the middle of the homeowners' first night in the house together just as they retire to bed for the night to consummate their marriage…
11 Wii Play - 28.02 Million Copies Sold
We love to see local co-op games making these best selling lists, because if you ask us (and why wouldn't you?!?), they are grossly underrepresented in the modern video gaming market. That said, the sales popularity of Wii Play is definitely a bit of a head scratcher for us.
Wii Play consists of a bunch of small games players can chose from, which includes Billiards, Table Tennis, Shooting Range, Fishing and a pretty fun Tanks! game. Players make use of the Wii's motion controls very well in this game and probably had more fun just playing around with the new technology more than anything else. It's certainly not as fun or addicting as other controller-focused Wii games, such as Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.
Nonetheless, Wii Play probably made it onto our list because of the popularity of the Wii system itself. This is because it was a launch game and people were so excited to try out Nintendo's innovative new system they probably bought Wii Play to make sure they got good use out of the controls.
10 New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 29.32 Million Copies Sold
This is certainly another game that benefited from the Wii's popularity. If you buy a Nintendo console, it's almost certainly a foregone conclusion that you will buy whatever Mario Bros. game belongs to that generation's console.
Nonetheless, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is an excellent game. It looks colorful and lively and it retains all the fun of the classic side scrolling Mario games of the past. And if anyone happens to get in your way, you could always try to mess them up by knocking them into something or throwing a shell at them, especially if the culprit was Mario. Screw that guy and his limelight hogging ego.
The best feature was the addition of the simultaneous multiplayer, which saw up to four players koopa-bopping their way across the screen. The gameplay could get hectic but was one of the most enjoyable local co-op gaming experiences in the last ten years. And the great thing about Mario, is that almost anyone can enjoy the series!
9 Diablo III - 30 Million Copies Sold
You had to know Blizzard was going to make this list, but it might have surprised you to see which of their entries ranked in the top 10 best selling videogames of all time. We guessed it would be World of Warcraft making it on here, but maybe that one doesn't appeal to as wide of an audience as this entry.
Diablo III was released to a very mixed response from the audience. And it certainly had its issues, including the auction house. But it sold a lot and it continues to retain quite a large community of active players. The game received a lot of attention for its positive changes though, such as allowing players to change ability point spending. Rather than committing at one time, you can reset and change your skills and your ability points at any time (unless you're in a Greater Rift at the moment).
The playstyle is fluid and engaging, and while some hardcore gamers find it to be too much of a grinding and repetitive play style, it's a fun Blizzard experience without having to invest the time and energy required to really excel at WoW.
8 New Super Mario Bros. - 30.79 Million Copies Sold
What could overtake the Wii's version of Mario from that same series? The obvious answer, perhaps, is New Super Mario Bros., which was released on the DS. The DS remains one of the most popular systems of all time, so it's no surprise that it's Super Mario Bros. game sold at such high numbers. Plus: Giant Mario.
You might remember a bit of backlash when this game was released because, in a time when gamers crave complexity and challenge, New Super Mario Bros. came out as a throwback to simpler gaming experiences without a notable challenge. But that's one of the things we love about it.
We enjoy complex gaming experiences, but we are also nostalgia driven creatures (we refer you to the popularity of Stranger Things as it appeals to 80s kids who loved E.T. and The Goonies), and we loved playing a classic Mario Bros. styled game on the go on our handheld.
7 Wii Sports Resort - 32.8 Million Copies Sold
Ah, Wuhu Island and its beautiful beach resort, full of fun and active Miis. What a great place to take a vacation if you like being active. For us, we'd probably prefer a nice air conditioned resort with a great view, a table beside our reclinable chair with a novel leaning precariously over the side, threatening to be pushed off from the oversized plate of room service taking up the tabletop space.
That probably wouldn't make a great video game, though. So, probably responsibly, Nintendo focused on giving players a plethora of exciting options to choose from, including Swordplay, Golf, Basketball, Table Tennis, Bowling, and our ultimate favourite: Archery.
You probably liked Swordplay more, but we aren't going to get on your case for being like a preteen with some clearly undiagnosed hyperactive disorder. And if your favourite game was Golf, well, then congratulations, because you're probably one of the only people from your generation who is technologically savvy enough to actually play video games!
6 Mario Kart Wii - 36.38 Million Copies Sold
It may not fill us with the nostalgia of the Nintendo 64 version, but the Wii's version of Mario Kart is full of content and is arguably the best the series has ever made. Our younger selves learned everything we know about driving from this game and we honestly think we're better drivers for it. If someone cuts us off, we don't get upset and throw them the finger. Instead, we quickly pass them and drop a banana peel out of our window, presumably sending them into a spin and maybe even over the edge of a cliff, Billy Madison versus O'Doyle family style. You know what we mean. You've probably even tossed a few turtle shells at cars as they pass you by, right? Wrong! That's just horrible and PETA would be all over you. Sacrificing innocent turtles just to win a race. Disgraceful. All we did was eat a few bananas, which, admittedly, might leave a few less for Donkey Kong, but that guy could probably stand to lose a few pounds anyway.
5 Super Mario Bros. - 55.75 Million Copies Sold
Would you look at that? After all the Wii entries, we finally get a throw back to the classic NES system with Super Mario Bros. It's a little title you may have stumbled across at some point during your video game explorations. The game may be a little Mario-centric, poor Luigi, but it's still fun to play all these years later.
Most of us have played it so many times that we can still close our eyes and picture playing through at least the first level, while humming the music. Super Mario Bros. even holds up today. It's widely available across consoles through Nintendo's Virtual Console, which has helped it climb so high on the best-selling list.
This is a testament to its gameplay mechanics, because the graphics aren't great. The characters are often stiff in appearance, but the gameplay is so smooth and satisfying all these years later that it makes for a great gaming experience.
4 Grand Theft Auto V - 65 Million Copies Sold
The final entry on our list for the Grand Theft Auto series is arguably the best. It deviated from previous entries in the series by allowing for multiple lead characters, which for a video game, is very postmodern and clever, even if, as we mentioned before, you really just end up using the multiple character perspectives to get a few different angles for beating "unsavoury" types with baseball bats. But hey, the game tried!
The world was also more beautiful than other entries and it was simply massive. At the time, this was an open world unlike any others. You could become completely absorbed in it for hours without even playing the main storyline. Playing this game involved getting back into what we love about previous Grand Theft Auto entries, but with a few crucial upgrades, making it an experience much like going back to your ex after he or she finally had that nagging acne problem cleared up.
3 Wii Sports - 82.78 Million Copies Sold
Finally, we come to the last Wii entry on our list: Wii Sports. It's by no means an amazing game. There's no storyline to get sucked in by. The graphics are borderline awful, even if they look good enough in terms of colour scheme. And the entire premise is overly simple. Nonetheless, you know you had some fun hours playing at least one or two of the sports features on this collection.
A lot of people loved boxing, which made you look like a nutcase being attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. We, however, loved tennis. You could get some incredible rallies and rivalries going, living and dying on every stroke (that sounds inappropriate, but really isn't!).
Many could argue that this game primarily relies on the motion sensor controls gimmick, and they wouldn't be wrong. Nonetheless, they can't argue with its appeal to a mass audience and the amount of fun it certainly gave its millions of buyers.
2 Minecraft - 107.86 Million Copies Sold
So we should probably come clean here and say that we've never really understood this game. What do you even do in it? There are a bunch of boxy characters and boxy settings. And you just sort of, go around and do…what exactly?
It seems that there is a certain amount of resource collecting and maybe survivability. And then you use blocks to build other blocky objects that turn into even bigger blocks before you either end up in a blocky coffin or survive to live a blocky life on your newly constructed block before throwing a block party (minus the 40s, we assume).
More seriously, the game can apparently get quite complex with its resource management and constant struggle to survive. Maybe we've ragged on the game a bit, but that's just us. People seem to love the game, and who are we to argue? Wasn't it Karl Marx who said that masses always know best?
1 Tetris - 495 Million Copies Sold
Tetris is one of those games that you can buy on any system and that anyone can play. It's also great for short, quick bursts of gameplay, like you might use your smartphone for. That likely explains its continued popularity.
We could talk a bit more about this game, but you know it. Your mother knows it. Your grandmother knows it. There's no need. Instead, let's declare a victor in the console wars once and for all.
As we come to the number one spot, we finally break away from the grip that Nintendo has had on this list, but it's not nearly enough. Looking back, there have been SEVEN entries that are exclusives to Nintendo. We know the Xbox and Playstation fanboys and fangirls won't like our verdict, but we have to declare the Console Wars battle over and Nintendo the glorious victor as we leave you with Mario standing atop the blood soaked battlefield, his pristine gloves bathed from combat in the viscera of Sonic, Master Chief and various Greek gods from God of War. Let's-a go!

Still sewing...
I'm really starting to miss weaving. A lot.
I think I'm addicted to weaving.
Because I'm having withdrawals.
Like I feel irritated.
I just want to weave again!
Only a few more hundred to sew.
I can do this!
I'm afraid if I get the loom all set up, I'll throw all the sewing aside! So... that is why I don't tempt myself. One step at a time!!!
So... after seeing all these bookmarks, which one do I think is the best? Well, there are so many favorites... but this one above is one of my favorites because of both the design AND colors! I would have thought my most favorite would have been an 8-shaft pattern, but this is just a simple 2/2 twill! But there are so many cool ones. I wish I could keep them all! But if I kept all the cool ones, I wouldn't have any to send out! :)
And then what was the point of all this sewing?!
I have plans of making a dishtowel set with different patterns and colors, like the bookmarks. It's currently brewing in my head!

Doughnuts happen to be LA's most iconic breakfast item (though they're also tasty at any hour of the day), thanks mostly to a slew of Southeast Asian immigrants who came and proliferated the concept in every strip mall across the Southland. Fried dough isn't just a sweet start to the day, they're a way of life in Los Angeles, with many shops staying up 24/7 to serve them alongside cheap cups of coffee.
Recently, Los Angeles has seen a heavy infusion of fancy shops like Blue Star, Sidecar, and Astro Doughnuts that are boosting the pricier side of the spectrum — not to mention Instagram-friendly shops like Birdies in Downtown. Luckily there's room for everyone in doughnut-crazed Los Angeles.
Added: Tony's Donut House, Colorado Donuts, Knead Donuts & Tea
Removed: California Donuts, Sycamore Kitchen, DK's Donuts & Bakery, Stan's DonutsNote: Restaurants on this map are listed geographically.
1. Blinkie's Donut Emporium
4884 Topanga Canyon Blvd
Woodland Hills, CA 91364(818) 884-4456Visit Website
This farflung doughnut shop is a worthy destination for anyone driving through or seeking some creative fritters in the West Valley. Best to go early though, as Blinkie's closes up by noon every day. Those limited hours do mean diners get a fresher doughnut, though — just be sure to show up with cash.
2. Colorado Donuts
#14, 1578 Colorado Blvd
Eagle Rock, CA 90041(323) 340-1962Visit Website
Situated towards the east side of Eagle Rock on Colorado Boulevard, locals know about Colorado Donuts. Most donuts are pleasing to the eye, but the flavor profiles are solid too. While traditional rules the inventory, vegans can also try something interesting. The stunning Cronut with a star punched in the center is an absolute winner.
3. Voodoo Doughnut
100 Universal City Plaza
Universal City, CA 91608(818) 622-6646Visit Website
Portland-famous Voodoo Doughnut expanded a while ago into Universal CityWalk, and ever since the weekend lines have been growing. Maybe it's the wacky flavors or bright pink color scheme, but tourists and locals alike can't seem to get enough.
4. The Donut Man
915 E Rte 66
Glendora, CA 91740(626) 335-9111Visit Website
It can be tough to judge Donut Man because so much hinges on the strawberry and peach doughnuts, which are only available seasonally and are essentially just raised doughnuts sliced in half and stuffed with fruit. But those fruit doughnuts are fantastic. And the other picks like the arm-length tiger tail are very well made, and more than worth dropping by on the way to Vegas or Big Bear.
5. Donut Friend
5107 York Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90065(213) 995-6191Visit Website
This bright, colorful shop gives eaters the option to either customize or pick from a pre-designed doughnut. The toppings lean toward creative and unusual versus classic, and while not everyone is enamored with the cake options, the traditional yeast doughnuts offer a great tang and pillowy texture with each bite.
6. Kettle Glazed Doughnuts
6211 Franklin Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90028(323) 462-2344Visit Website
Kettle Glazed has settled in to become one of Hollywood's best doughnut options, thanks to its early Cronut knockoff success. That shouldn't keep eaters from also enjoying the wide array of rotating flavors available across the expansive menu, though — it's all good at Kettle Glazed.

7. Trejo's Coffee & Donuts
6785 Santa Monica Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90038(323) 462-4600Visit Website
Is there anything Danny Trejo can't do? Longtime movie tough guy Trejo expanded last year into the taco and sit-down restaurant world, and now has a buzzy AM option along Santa Monica Boulevard with his namesake Trejo's Coffee & Donuts. This place tends to sell out early, so be warned.
8. Cofax
440 N Fairfax Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90036(323) 424-7485Visit Website
Nicole Rucker runs the show at Cofax, and part of the deal is a fantastic collection of doughnuts that are unmatched in the area. Along with Stumptown coffee, chomp on a plush pistachio raised doughnut or chocolate cake topped with rainbow sprinkles.
9. Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts
6333 W 3rd St #450
Los Angeles, CA 90036(323) 933-8929Visit Website
Bob's is as old school as it gets, and plays to its timeless Original Farmers Market surroundings with classic flavors and a throwback design aesthetic. It all works.
10. SK Donuts & Croissant
5850 W 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90036(323) 935-2409Visit Website
Although SK isn't known for creating new doughnut trends, the shop gives all the major trends their own spin. They offer a multitude of unique cronut fillings such as peaches and cream, strawberry, apple pie, coconut and taro — plus they're open around the clock.
11. Cafe Dulce
134 Japanese Village Plaza Mall
Los Angeles, CA 90012(213) 346-9910Visit Website
The new-school doughnuts at Cafe Dulce are often given an Asian take, and the results tend to be pretty marvelous. Though the Fruity Pebble, bacon, and strawberry doughnuts tend to earn the most attention, the green tea and spirulina doughnuts are also delicious.
12. Astro Doughnuts and Fried Chicken
516 W 6th St
Los Angeles, CA 90014(213) 622-7876Visit Website
East Coast expat Astro Doughnuts knew well what it was getting into with doughnut-saturated LA, and they haven't let any nearby competition get them down. From a quick start right out of the gate the company has maintained a steady stream of loyal Downtown fans, thanks to quality ingredients and a menu that also involves lots of fried chicken.
13. Birdies
314 W Olympic Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90015(213) 536-5714Visit Website
Doughnut from Birdies tend to come across everyone's Instagram feed quite often. That's because the Downtown retailer that specializes in all things delicious (that's fried chicken, coffee, and doughnuts) offers a selection of doughnuts like horchata twist with dulce de leche and blueberry lemon that are pretty as a picture.
14. Primo's Donuts
2918 Sawtelle Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90064(310) 478-6930Visit Website
Primo's has been run by the same couple for almost 60 years, which makes it quite the Westside institution. Try the famous buttermilk doughnut, sweet, dense, and slightly crisped on the edges, then finished off with the rich glaze.
15. Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee
631 Wilshire Blvd
Santa Monica, CA 90401(310) 587-0022Visit Website
Sidecar makes its doughnuts fresh throughout the day, which means eaters are almost certain to get a warm fritter at any time. Just about every flavor is worth the price tag, but for most everyone's money it's the huckleberry and vanilla doughnuts that are the stars.

16. Blue Star Donuts
1142 Abbot Kinney Blvd
Venice, CA 90291(310) 450-5630Visit Website
This Portland transplant makes artisanal doughnuts right in the heart of Abbot Kinney. Expectant eaters may be better off earlier in the day when selection is wider and the doughnuts are fresher,, but there's really no bad time to order the trademark blueberry bourbon basil fritter.
17. Tony's Donut House
3216 E Florence Ave
Huntington Park, CA 90255(323) 587-6071Visit Website
Open 24 hours a day, Tony's Donut House is one of LA's most classic donut shops. Donut options range from traditional to the "cravenott," a glazed pretzel-like creation, or the cajeta-filled donut, and the glazed with banana and Nutella.
18. Randy's Donuts
Randy's Donuts, 805 W Manchester Blvd
Inglewood, CA 90301Visit Website
The iconic structure atop Randy's Donuts is perhaps its most famous element, though that shouldn't detract from the excellent doughnuts being made below. The maple and chocolate bars are especially good, while the bear claws and apple fritters are worth the (calorie) splurge.
19. Knead Donuts & Tea
3490 E 7th St
Long Beach, CA 90804(562) 248-2858
It's worth it to head into Knead Donuts & Tea for the sweets, and for a regular donut adventure. Every few weeks, owner Huey Behuynh conjures up some inventive donuts on the fly, but the blueberry donut, plain glazed, and banana cream custard creme brûlée donut are something to behold.
20. The Donut
1615 S Gaffey St
San Pedro, CA 90731(310) 831-2123
San Pedro's The Donut is something of a legend. It's got cult status in this sleepy seaside town, and still turns out daily classics to throngs of waiting customers.

Soldier following in father's footsteps finds unique path
By Brenda Rolin, USAMU PAO /
CAMP PERRY, Ohio — Spc. Anthony Heinauer's father, an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, and his grandfather, a Vietnam veteran, both set examples for him as Soldiers serving their nation.
Yet, while he aspired to follow in their footsteps, he wanted to do it on his own terms, especially after he attended a U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit junior workshop when he was a teenager.
"It was actually a dream I had when I was 13 and went to the Army Marksmanship Unit junior clinic," he said July 14 while competing in the 2016 National Trophy Pistol Matches.
"They taught me a lot, and I told my father that was the kind of dream job I wanted."
From then on, Anthony spent as much time on the range as he did at school.
His regimen paid off. By age 17, USAMU was looking at Anthony as a possible new member of the unit.
His father, Sgt. Major Keith Heinauer, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, started Anthony on his path to the USAMU by introducing him to action shooting when he was 12.
"It was more action shooting-practical shooting style-and he took to that pretty good," he said.
Practical shooting evolved from national and international private individuals, military members and law enforcement officers who experimented with different types of self-defense techniques for handguns, according to the U.S. Practical Shooting Association website.
Heinauer said while he knew Anthony was interested in a career in shooting sports, he had talked about Anthony going to college for a couple of years-even looking at West Point- and then making a decision after that.
"But, I had taken him to the AMU junior clinic, he had met some of the action shooting team and that's what drove him," he said.
Then, Heinauer took Anthony to the National Trophy Pistol Matches, a bull's-eye competition where precision shooting is king.
"It was just a whole different animal for him, because he grew up shooting action," he said.
After that, the 24-year Army veteran knew his son was passionate about joining the elite USAMU Service Pistol Team, but knowing his son was new to bull's-eye, he wanted to guide and advise him.
"He struggled a bit with bull's-eye shooting, but he did learn the fundamentals of the sport," Heinauer said.
And Anthony's dream did come true when he joined the Army in 2014.
"I am very grateful to be in the Army and the AMU," he said. "Sometimes I wake up, and I can't believe it happened. The Army supplies me with everything-ammo, equipment, great ranges, the best training- and the time I need to perfect my craft." And Anthony has improved his marksmanship skills immensely in the past two years, his dad said.
Although his father has been the distinguished bull's-eye marksman in the family starting in 2004, recently his son has caught up to him.
"Right now, my dad is my biggest rival and we are within points of each other," Anthony said about the 2016 National Trophy Pistol Matches. "Every year we come out here and it's a back and forth battle between him and me."
But there are no hard feelings between them, only the best of intentions from a proud parent.
"I'm hoping he is able to accomplish what he wants to do, whether it's to stay on this team for the next 10 years or whether it's to go do something else," his father said. "I am sure he has the ability and the will to accomplish anything that he wants to do."

Meet the Puzzler, Bev Barnett
This month, meet Bev Barnett, a 26-year resident of Copeland Oaks. She's a retired Spanish teacher who walks three miles every morning, sings in the Copeland Chorale and volunteers in our Copeland Oaks TV studio.
If that doesn't keep her busy enough, you will frequently find Bev at our big puzzle table, piecing together the big picture while engaged in lively conversation with other residents.
"I love puzzles," says Bev. "Some people think puzzles are a solo activity, but it is amazing how many conversations start at the puzzle table. I always make new friends when I sit down in one of the cozy Copeland Oaks lounge to do a puzzle."
Bev adds, "People are amazed that I have lived in my Copeland Oaks villa for over 25 years. I just tell them Copeland Oaks is bienvenido!"
Bev loves taking long walks on the beautiful Copeland Oaks campus. She's enjoys gathering with friends to hear good music. She loves gardening in the spring and summer. And she really appreciates the staff that's always around to help with whatever is needed.
"We have it all," Bev says as she places the last piece into the puzzle, steps back and enjoys the big picture.

Last week I wrote about my love of birthdays, my own and everyone else's and my love of celebrating the anniversary of the birth of our country, July 4.
In my humble opinion, the main reason we are able to celebrate birthdays as we wish is because of the sacrifices made by our fellow Americans who have or are currently serving our country and defending our rights through the different branches of the armed forces, in times of peace and war.
I registered for the draft when I turned 18 but didn't enlist. I have the utmost respect for those who did, however. I'm truly thankful for their service. My younger brother, Joe, joined the Army about a year after he was graduated from high school. Even though he was never deployed into a war zone, I admire and appreciate the commitment he made to our country. Joe is the most dedicated and loyal person I know and I thank God he is my friend and brother.
Over the years, there have been hundreds, probably even thousands, of men and women from Rio Blanco County who have served our country as members of the military, many are buried in our county cemeteries.
On the front page of this issue, local VFW Post 5843 commander Tom Kilduff writes about celebrating America's 235 years of freedom and public displays of patriotism. Former Marine sergeant Kilduff invites all veterans, "war or no war, to come out from wherever you are standing in the parade and fall in behind us (color guard) to show your patriotism to America."
There are usually a few thousand people in town to watch the parade on the Fourth of July and I hope all of the veterans in attendance will "fall in" behind the color guard, as Tom asked, so the rest of us can publicly thank you for defending our freedom.
I would like to echo my friend Tom's request and meet all the veterans at the end of the parade for a group picture in front of the Freeman Fairfield building. The picture will be published on the front page of next week's issue of the Herald Times to again publicly thank all veterans for their service. I would be happy to email a copy to any veteran in the photo.
Thank you to all military veterans for your service, allowing us to celebrate the 235th anniversary of the birth of our country. May God bless our troops and the United States of America. Happy birthday!
Up and down el Rio Blanco: Thanks to our veterans
Last week I wrote about my love of birthdays, my own and everyone else's and my love of celebrating the anniversary of the birth of our country, July 4.

#OhioTalksTurkey Thanksgiving 2017 Digital Campaign
The Project
Recognizing that consumers have many questions about turkey farming, preparation, cooking and nutrition during the Thanksgiving season, Inspire worked with the Ohio Poultry Association (OPA) to launch a digital campaign designed to leverage this key time of year to educate and engage target audiences.
The Thanksgiving campaign, which began Nov. 1 and ran through Thanksgiving Day, targeted Ohio moms aged 25-54, who represent a population that is often generations removed from the farm but is also generally the primary decision-maker in the household when it comes to food purchases and choosing what to serve their families.
The goals of the campaign included driving traffic to pages on OPA's website related to Thanksgiving, adding new fans and followers to OPA's social media channels, leveraging Ohio food, mom and lifestyle bloggers to share information related to turkey farming, safety, cooking and nutrition with their large networks of engaged followers.
To help achieve those goals, Inspire developed engaging social media content to share on OPA's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts and used targeted social advertising campaigns to promote content across platforms during the Thanksgiving season.
A Thanksgiving sweepstakes was hosted on OPA'S Facebook page, where users were encouraged to like the OPA Facebook page and then enter to win a $200 gift card to spend on the ingredients for a Thanksgiving feast, including the turkey. Email addresses were also collected through this promotion to use in future correspondence.
Five recipe posts were shared by Ohio food, mom and family bloggers on their sites for Thanksgiving, with information about turkey farming, safety, cooking and nutrition. Two prominent Ohio food bloggers to developed turkey leftovers recipes to also add to OPA's website, and one of the food bloggers did a Facebook Live segment during which she shared information about turkey as she prepared her Thanksgiving leftovers casserole.
The bloggers were also invited to co-host an #OhioTalksTurkey Twitter party on Nov. 15, 2017, where OPA answered common questions around turkey preparation and nutrition ahead of Thanksgiving and also shared the bloggers' recipes.
An e-blast was sent to 8,600 subscribers with links to content on OPA's website and social media.
The Results
- During the three-week campaign, 1,900 new fans were added to the OPA Facebook page, and content received 7,678 likes, 1,773 shares and 675 comments.
- The Thanksgiving sweepstakes received 6,800 entries, 604 shares and 16,400 visits. Combined, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram ads drove about 12,000 visits to OPA's website in November.
- The #OhioTalksTurkey hashtag used for the Twitter party was used in close to 5,000 posts, which included about 294 tweets, with 1,480 retweets and 3,226 replies, by about 125 people, with a reach of about 192,400 and possible exposure of 3.1 million impressions. The average contributor tweeted about 40 times. The #OhioTalksTurkey hashtag was trending in Columbus, Ohio during the party. During the day of the party, the engagement rate on the @OhioEggFarmers account was 11.2 percent and there were 835 link clicks and 4,000 favorites. Also, about 100 new followers were added on Twitter the week of the party.
- The five recipe posts shared by Ohio food and family bloggers on their sites for Thanksgiving received an estimated 10,300 views by 108,000 readers and 500 social shares. The blogger's Facebook Live received 8,331 views, 116 reactions, 40 shares and 467 comments. Two food blogger recipe videos shared to OPA's Facebook page received a combined 46,000 views and 261 shares.
- The Thanksgiving e-blast received a 15.7 percent open rate and a 25.7 percent click-through rate.

ELVIRA, Mistress of The Dark RETURNS
Folks, I can't tell you how excited I am about this. Growing up in the 80's would not have been the same without having her show to cap off my weekends on late Sunday afternoons. The sun just starting to set, dinner cooking in the kitchen, and some maniac on the loose in a misty old castle accompanied by Elvira's cornball cracks.
Will "The Breather" be returning to her show as well? I hope so. One of my favorite bits of all time.
Check the Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Facebook to get the time and station in your area.

Drippler Launches Chatbot To Provide 24/7 Mobile Tech Support
Drippler, the smart tech assistant app, has announced the launch of Drippler 3.0, which comes with a new tech support chatbot that helps users resolve technical issues on their smartphones.
Drippler's new chat-based tech support service combines artificial intelligence with a "human-in-the-loop" system, supported by a community of experts who can answer consumer tech related questions on demand. In fact, Drippler's "Tech Wizards" include thousands of experts, with a waitlist of more than 10,000.
"Drippler 3.0 answers a need in the market by providing an alternative to the outdated tech support call center model that many companies still employ,which wastes time and causes an unnecessary headache for consumers," said Matan Talmi CEO of Drippler. "We designed Drippler to help people make better use of their smart and connected devices."
Chatbots are becoming pretty popular in 2016, especially with Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Amazon investing in chatbot platforms and technologies. Drippler is the next company to take advantage of natural language software to provide a service that has been dominated by call centers and online agents.
You can download Drippler 3.0 on Google Play and will be available on Facebook Messenger and iOS in 2017.
