From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
I've become tidier in my old age, but regular readers of this newsletter know that this doesn't mean much. I mean, my clothes organizational system used to be to have a dirty pile and a clean pile ... and then sort of a trail in between.

Top 10 Cleaning Myths
So clearly, there was room for improvement, and still is. For example, until I read this piece, I had no idea that bleach wasn't the ideal cleanser for every occasion.

7 Vacuum Cleaner Mistakes
Or: Why Jen should stop vacuuming up pennies instead of bending allll the way over to pick them up.

5 Stainless Steel Mistakes
The first time I had stainless steel appliances I thought, oh, hooray! "Stainless!" I will surely never have to clean them again. It turns out, not so much. They should call it "smudgeful steel."

10 Tile Cleaning Mistakes
Tile looks so sturdy, but even small things - a misplaced doormat, or a too-wet mop - can damage tile floors over time.

Usain Bolt – My Story 9.58 Book Review

Posted: 30 Sep 2010 07:00 AM PDT

Usain_Bolt_958_Book

Usain Bolt’s official biography goes on sale tomorrow.

For those lucky enough to live in the UK or Europe, Usain Bolt's new book My Story: 9.58: Being the World’s Fastest Man went on sale Sept 2.

UK and Europe readers, click here for the book.

For those living in the rest of the world, including United States and Canada, his book goes on sale Friday Oct 1st.

For the casual reader, there isn't enough controversy such as Dwain Chamber's book or Victor Conte's book.

If you are looking for detailed training plans on his secret track workouts or what he does in the weight room, you won't find it here.

But if you are a fan of Usain Bolt, then this book is up your alley.

It's not a quick photomontage (my first thought when he decided to "wrote" a book)… it's a full 280-page book in which Usain Bolt co-wrote with British sports writer Shaun Custis.

At the time of the book's writing, Bolt declares his intention to retire from sports in 2016.  However recently, he was quoted retiring from the 100m and 200m after 2012 London to try other events such as the long jump or 400 meters.  By then he would be a double WC ('09 and '11) and double OG Champion.  Being a triple-double gold medalist in 2 events doesn't motivate him.  He just wants to be a legend! 

Note how he never uses the words GOAT or Greatest Of All Time?

In his book, he reveals how he lost his world championship medals while moving to a new home earlier this year.  Sorry buddy, but Jamaica has one of the highest unemployment and murder rates in the world!  Then again, maybe his house is so huge that the medals are misplaced, not lost?

According to a press release, My Story: 9.58: Being the World’s Fastest Man is not just about life on the track. It looks at "the highs and lows, the dedication and sacrifice to get to the top. It’s about fast food, partying, fast cars, dancehall music and that lightning-bolt pose."

But I am impressed how he keeps an eye on his money.  He quotes he reviews his bank statements and personally reviews all his contracts… unlike Sanya Richards-Ross who skips through the 30 pages of legal mumbo jumbo and just signs her name.

He shares that he currently owns six vehicles, all black, his favourite colour.  Interesting… maybe one different car each day of the week to go to practice?

This book is a good read only if you are a big fan of Usain Bolt.  For the secret training tips (other than motivation and inspiration), forget about it.

In the UK and Europe: Usain Bolt: 9.58

About Today: Apple Recipes You Won't Want to Miss

If you can't see this email, click here

About.com


From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
When I was a kid, you had to wait for fruit to be in season in order to eat it. This was sort of exciting. You would wait all year for the fall to come, just so we could have decent apples.

Apple Recipes You Won't Want to Miss
Nowadays, we can get whatever kind of fruit we want, all year long. (Whether or not this is a good idea is another story.)

Apple Recipes: Breads, Desserts, and More
Still, fall apples are the best - the freshest, the least bruisey, and, in my opinion, the most delicious.

Southern Cooking Apple Recipes
The only thing more delicious than fall apples? Multiple desserts made from fall apples. And, OK, the occasional salad as well.

Apple Cider Drink Recipes
Cider's right up there with pie as my all-time favorite apple-based treat. And that's saying something.

About Men's Fashion / Grooming: A Few Fall Must Haves to Keep You Looking Sharp

From Daniel Billett, your Guide to Men's Fashion / Grooming
I hated to see summer end, but I do love fall clothes and accessories. With that said, don't get caught unprepared on a rainy day or a chilly evening. Now is the time to start picking up a few fall must haves and perhaps something that is a trend for the season.

5 Must Have Fall Accessories for Men
It's time again to prepare for the autumn and winter seasons. There are certain must-have accessories to get you through the chilly weather. As I have been traveling through Eastern Europe, lightweight wool scarves have protected me from the chilly fall winds. But I always have these five accessories on hand.

Men's Fall Wardrobe Must Haves
Fall fashion collections are often the more favored by consumers and are certainly my favorite. Fabrics are rich in color and texture and some pieces can often be worn year round if they are more lightweight and in a neutral color. The following six items will not only carry you through this fall and winter but seasons to come.

Top Picks in Men's Cardigans
Cardigans are another wardrobe must have. And they have had a bit of a comeback lately too, not that they ever really went out of style but more and more designers seem to have them in their collections. Cardigans are great if you aren't a sport jacket kind of guy or if you are feeling more casual. They are perfect for transitional weather like in spring. They come in so many styles from slim fitting and modern to more traditional.
