Stogies on Grand (961 Grand Ave., St. Paul) and Lewis Pipes and Tobacco (527 Marquette Ave., Minneapolis) evoke completely different feelings upon entrance.

Stogies’ quaint Grand Avenue storefront leads into a labyrinthine store filled with laughter and smoke, while Lewis’ massive skyscraper hat sits over a clean one-room shop. The men who own these stores, on the other hand, look quite similar — tall, broad and worried around the eyes.

Anthony Lucia’s round face comes alive in peaks and valleys as he whirls a blurred rope up and down around his body. This “Texas Tornado” is one of his classic rope tricks, and even the old rodeo hands stop to watch as Lucia twists the lariat in spirals faster than any eye could see.

Haters will invari­ably hate. That’s the cardinal r ule of the Internet, and it’s been proven time and time again. Haters have been tweaking out about ev­ery Internet change since Netscape Navigator shut down.

With Facebook’s new Timeline format thrust upon the masses, the file cabinet where I keep my “Haters Gonna Hate” evi­dence is stuffed to burst­ing. Can’t even shut the drawers.

Do not, under any circumstances, read "Blood, Bones, and Butter" while you are hungry. Gabrielle Hamilton's food descriptions can be so luscious and vivid that you will feel compelled to devour anything edible in front of you regardless of age or species (including, but no limited to, sleeping roommates and week-old scrambled eggs). Make sure you have munchies nearby to satisfy your raging palate, then get comfortable and dig in.

What: “Not About Bombs”

Where: Intermedia Arts, 2822 S. Lyndale Ave., Minneapolis

When: Jan. 31 through March 3

Cost: $3 suggested donation

The Western media is rampant with preconceived notions about women in the Middle East. In an unfortunate display of ethnocentrism, it seems to have trouble getting past hijabs and veils. Women are depicted as subservient and oppressed, and the conversation doesn’t go much further.
