A Country Boy?s View on Fashion
I still can't understand it. After all these years, I can't make a lick of sense out of what folks consider to be in or out of fashion ? appropriate or inappropriate attire or appearance. What was "in" last year, might be "out" this year ? or it might be in but you need to change what you wear with it. What was OK for spring and summer probably won't work well for fall and winter - weather considerations aside. And what is in was likely already in somewhere around 20 or so years ago but then it went out so something else could be in.
And why don't they just come right out and say FAKE fur instead of trying to dress it up with a fancy foreign word? Thank God for jeans?I gotta find the Fashion Holy Book. I know there has to be one out there somewhere that says that it's a sin to wear the same thing as you wore last year. Or maybe it's just sometimes that it's a sin. I dunno. All I know is that the ladies section has to be really big.
Like maybe everything but the last seven pages. Guys don't seem to matter quite as much. It's sort of like an afterthought thing just so we wouldn't be offended. They ? whoever "they" is ? could have left us out completely for all I care.Thank God for jeans?I can't understand it. Why sometimes looking "layered" is good and sometimes it isn't.
Why sometimes croc (apparently "they" couldn't spell the entire word) is good and sometimes it isn't. Why big old-looking broaches are sometimes good and sometimes they aren't. And why anyone would ever frown on micro-mini's is beyond me. OK, so I'm I guy. I'll let that one go.Thank God for jeans?And how can pleats be in or out? What about tweed? Is it good or not? Why do ladies handbags need to match their shoes? Can summer shoes be the same as winter shoes? Probably not, huh? And what's wrong with tie dye for cryin' out loud? Looks cool to me.
And what's the deal with buying jeans ? brand new, mind you - that look like they've already been worn for two years? I never have been able to figure out that one.But yeah, thank God for jeans?I can't understand it. Are guys dress jackets now supposed to have two, three or four buttons? Are pleated dress pants in or out? What about casual slacks? Cuffs ? yes or no? Tuck or don't tuck? Why can't neckties be any width we dang well want? And why do we even wear the silly things in the first place? Why is it important for all the men to look like penguins when they dress for formal occasions? A zebra look makes just as much sense to me.Thank God for jeans?And have you looked at underwear lately? (Do I need to rephrase that?) Now I understand that the ladies like to do all sorts of push up, push out, accent, emphasize, enhancement stuff. But guys ? we're getting out of control! Holy smokes. I thought the intent of our under-layer was to keep our goodies in place and prevent excessive scuffing against whatever outer-layer we happened to be wearing. I've even seen articles describing what kinds of underwear the celebrities are wearing.
Why would we care? I'm just not understanding any of this.Thank God for jeans ? and good old briefs? I guess I never will comprehend any of this fashion "in style" stuff. Seems to me that if we're clean and comfortable ? including warm, cool or dry depending on the weather ? we're good to go. I just can't see that anything else matters much. Of course, I'm just an old country boy. What do I know?.

Copyright 2006 Stephen Ashton
Whether you simply want to pay off your mortgage or car loan sooner, or you've run up a huge pile of credit card debt, starting a debt reduction plan is always a good idea.
Follow these five steps to setting up your own debt reduction plan:
1. Find out where your money is really going. You can't cut your expenses if you don't understand where you're spending your money in the first place.
Pull out all of your receipts, credit card bills, and bank statements for the last 3 ? 6 months.
Make a list of everything you spend money on, by breaking things down into categories (food, entertainment, clothing, travel, bills, interest, taxes, etc.).
Then figure out what percentage of your income is going towards each group of expenses.
While you can't change certain expenses, you can change most of them.
Decide what general areas you can cut expenses in, and which areas you should be spending...

The Dress Code, Handled with Emotional Intelligence
It strikes terror in the heart of some of us, while others ignore it completely. Some of us are relieved there is one; others of us resent it. The Dress Code: Does it affect your career, affect whether you're hired or not, affect how you're treated on the job? Definitely. How do you ?manage' this particular area of your life? It requires emotional intelligence ? some awareness, creativity, flexibility and intuition, and a whole lot of common sense. For instance, in former years I applied for a job at a major international law firm.
At the interview, we were handed one sheet of instructions. The second item they chose to put on this piece of paper was, "Since you have chosen to work in a conservative work environment..."It went on to outline their strict dress code. Two of us were hired. The other one later complained to me about the dress code there. I maintain - she knew when she signed up, she agreed to it, she had no leg to stand on.
If you like to work out certain...

Have you been looking for the right fit in all the wrong places? Does your laughter echo throughout the mall when you hold up a size two halter-top and ask the sales-clerk if they have these toe-warmers in beige and purple? Are you tired of the lack of selections that Department Stores offer? Want to find, quality, name-brand, plus-size denim jeans, cotton tee-shirts, hooded and plain sweatshirts, knit tops, sweaters, blazers and much more at bargain prices without the hassle?
With today's high gas prices, why travel all over town when you can safely, easily and conveniently shop online and have your merchandise shipped right to your door?
Let's face it, wearing clothes that are made to fit means no longer having to lie on the bed and hold your breath in order to zip up your jeans. It's being able to reach for something without the seams coming apart. It means going out to dinner with friends and being able to order more than just a glass of water. It...

A Mass Customization Revolution
A Mass Customization RevolutionThe Industrial RevolutionThe great social and economic changes due to the introduction of machine and power tools and large-scale industrial production began in 1760. Through the first 70 years of this century, the US was the industrial giant of the world. In 1960 the words "Made in Japan" was thought to be a joke. By 1980, those same words had become the standard for manufacturing. In 1985, U.S.
manufacturing was in a deep depression. Products were too costly, of poor quality and not innovative enough.Now, again, America is ranked No. 1 in manufacturing (World Competitiveness Report, 1996).Mass customizationAmerica's No. 1 standing is primarily due to the manufacturing revolution that has been under way since 1985. This quiet revolution is built on the unsurpassed innovative spirit of the American people.
Innovation is one of the qualities upon which America is founded. American manufactures are the world's leading innovators. The right combination...
