Send email to POLL RESULTS Previous voting at delawareonline.com 2p3.156 2p3.156 Any other guys out there who have to buy new clothes whenever there is a fancy event coming up that you have to attend? say a wedding, for example. Iknow not the only guy who dressy dresses up so few times that he often finds himself in need of making a purchase for a dressy event because the last dressy event was a couple of years prior to the one coming up. in a wedding this weekend in New Hampshire and have spent the past few days trying to make sure I had the proper clothes. My typical outfit of blue jeans; untucked, button-down shirt; and boots is not going to work for this event.

Although the wedding attire itself was easy I just had to send the measurements in for the tuxedo I still needed something for the rehearsal dinner. For most people, this be anything to fret over. But far from being most people. I get anxious. I know I have issues.

My brothers have never held back in letting me know. Iget anxious partly because I just walk into a department store and buy something off the rack. I need a store that carries bigger sizes. And then once put together a nice outfit of a dress shirt, light sweater, slacks and dress shoes, knowing then going to have to actually wear that outfit just adds to the anxiety. twitchy now and I even have to wear it until Friday.

also just now made the mistake of looking up videos on YouTube: style tips for large men; big guide to sharp dressing; good clothes for short, chubby men; how to dress if you are heavy (a French guy talking about taking attention away from your girth by wearing suspenders instead of a belt). Now worried because I think my slacks may have pleats and I bought a new belt. I also have no idea if the pants I bought are low, medium or regular rise. When the sales guy helped lighten my wallet with the purchase of two pairs of slacks, two dress shirts and two lightweight sweaters, why he say, these pleats are going to make you look even Ughhhhhh. Itold you I had issues.

Put lipstick on a pig Share in the Only in Delaware conversation on dela- areonline. Contact Jeffrey Gentry at line.com. Follow him on Twitter: ONLY IN DELAWARE JEFFREY GENTRY Tracking how children become involved in unintended shootings is not an easy task. States keep statistics on children injured or killed by gunfire, but tracking how many times the trigger is pulled by a child is not routine. Doing this, experts say, could provide a better picture of the overall problem of unintended shootings by minors, such as the one that critically injured a 2-year-old Brandywine Hundred boy Tuesday morning.

all you have is information on the victim, which is basically what the death certificateprovides, then you are missing out on an awful lot of risk factors that involve the person who pulls the said Jon S. Vernick, co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research in Baltimore. There are more than 30,000 gun deaths nationally, including suicides, homicides, accidents and undetermined deaths, Vernick said. Vernick said it would be helpful to know what works and what the data, much much harder to evaluate whether interventions are effective or not he said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2002 launched the National Violent Death Reporting System.

The system combines data from death certificates, medical examiner and police reports, from 32 states. Delaware is not in the system. The state Division of Public Health looked at a CDC grant for the system, but decided the funding would not cover costs and did not apply, said Jill Fredel, a spokeswoman with the state Department of Health and Social Services. By combining these reports, Vernick said experts can put together information that one get from death certificates, such as the characteristics not only of the victim, but of the shooter and the weapon involved. The data provides details on demographics, such as age, income and education; the method of injury; the relationship between the victim and the suspect; and information about circumstances such as depression, financial stressorsor relationship problems.

It also gathers data on all mechanisms of violent injury such as poisonings and blunt force trauma. The CDC system can work like the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, a nationwide census that provides yearly data on fatal injuries in motor vehicle crashes. That system collects information about the driver, the passengers, the car, the roadway, even the weather. have anything comparable to that for deaths by gunfire, at least not that covers all 50 Vernick said. Some question if this is a proper role for the CDC.

wonders what the CDC is doing with this type of thing, when their job to be dealing with disease and this a said John Sigler, president of the NRA-affiliated Delaware State Association. Because he did not know the facts of shooting, Sigler said did not want to comment on the matter. I can say is: God bless the youngster and God bless the family. Because this is a huge he said. He said the NRA has a gun safety program for children, kindergarten through fourth grade, with the simple message of: touch.

Leave the area. Tell an all about education and he said. are literally probably a dozen training courses that folks could avail themselves of if they would like to make sure hat they are fully confident and fully prepared to be responsible gun ore than 55,000 Americans died because of homicide or suicide in 2011, Dr. Daniel M. Sosin, acting director of National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, said in a statement last month when the program expanded from 18 states.

an average of more than six people dying a violent death every Sosin said. is disheartening, and we know many of these deaths can be New Castle County police continued to investigate the shooting of the boy neighbors identified as A.J. child is still listed in critical condition and no update on the type of weapon that was Officer Tracey Duffy, a spokeswoman, said Wednesday. Duffy has not said how the child came across the gun. Prosecutors say it is too early to say whether changes will be filed.

have contacted the Department of Justice about the investigation and prosecutors will review the evidence when it is presented to us to assist police in determining whether charges are appropriate given all of the facts and circumstances of the said Jason Miller, a spokesman with the Attorney Office. The shooting came in the first block of Cliffside Court in the Valley Run neighborhood, between Naamans Road and the Pennsylvania line. A person who works in the rental office called police at 10:05 a.m. Aneighbor said Wednesday morning she had no idea how AJ was doing, as she had not spoken to the family. Other neighbors in the court said they did not know the family other than from a wave in the parking in front of their homes.

Occasionally the young boy would be seen riding his tricycle in the parking lot. One neighbor said they heard the older brother arrive Tuesday night and news crews asked him how the boy was doing. They also asked him if he knew where the gun came from and the old brother was heard saying he want to talk about that.
