I've lived in America for many years, I'm a US citizen now with American children, and I've sold many recipe binders and recipe boxes with my little company to many lovely fellow Americans. But sometimes there's this little doubt that creeps into my British mind that perhaps some things I'll just never understand about this country.
This…is one of those times.

The 7 Commandments for Avoiding Muffin Armageddon: Recipe Box Tip
1. Thou shalt not filleth muffin cups more than 3/4 full. Beyond that gets you the dreaded flat frisbee top.
2. Preserveth thy pan. Put 3 tablespoons or so of water in any unused muffin cup. This keeps the pan from warping.
3. Round mound must abound. To get a rounded top on your muffin, only grease the bottom of the cup and halfway up the sides. It's the bottom that always sticks anyway, and that upper grease-free part gives the ingredients something to "climb" on.
4. Feareth not the sticky muffin. If your muffins stick to the pan, put the hot pan on a wet towl for two minutes or so.
5. Cast false geological artifacts aside from your muffins. Your muffins have tunnels or peaks? Probably either too much mixing or liquid.
6. Go not into the muffin genesis without donning protection. Paper liner in cups make it much easier to clean up.
7. Seek ye the perfect muffin. The ideal American muffin has a rounded top, a thin brown crust with a slight cruch (add a little sugar glaze for this effect) and a nicely moist center.
Recipes That Should Be In Every Recipe Box
There are some basic ones that are so frequently used you almost wonder why you ever wrote it down. But why not take a few minutes and write it down for the rest of us?
I'll start:
Basic Tomato Sauce
• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 4-6 cloves minced garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (yes, I know fresh is better. But sometimes…)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 bay leaf
• 1(6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2. Stir in tomatoes, salt, sugar and bay leaf. Cover, reduce to low, and simmer 70-100 minutes.
3. Stir in tomato paste, basil, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and simmer 30 minutes more.
Quality Recipe Binders and Recipe Boxes
We get asked sometimes, "What's the deal with all the 5 stars? Nobody gets that many great reviews." Truth is, we do. Why? We inspect every product we ship out for quality, and we will not ship it if it wouldn't look good in my own kitchen. Our Boise-based warehouse is EXTREMELY thorough, which is why we have such high quality recipe binders and very nice recipe boxes.
Nice Large Wood Recipe Box
I love this box! It's VERY big and well-made (in America!).
Please take a look here for more information on this lovely large wood recipe box!
Shake, Shake Shake…Shake, Shake, Shake…Lemon Shake-Ups, Lemon Shake-Ups!
Sweet…tart…sugary…lemony…can you think of a better thirst quencher than a Lemon Shake-Up? The kind you get at carnivals and festivals? I sure can't! And from what I can see in my recipe box, there are two totally separate opinions on the best way to make these satisfying drinks. Should you use a sugar syrup or just sugar? I pulled two recipes from my trusty recipe binder (which, by the way, features luscious lemons!) – one of each type. Try them both. Then let us know which is your favorite!
First, the EASIEST way:
1. Pour 1/2 cup sugar into a 16 oz. cup.
2. Cut 2 lemons in half.
3. Hand squeeze lemons; drop juice and lemons into cup.
4. Add ice as desired and fill cup with water.
5. Cover the cup and shake it vigorously until the sugar is dissolved.
Next, the "sugar syrup" way:
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (reserve rinds)
1. Combine sugar and water.
2. Boil for 5 minutes; cool to room temperature.
3. Add lemon juice.
4. Strain and keep refrigerated.
To make Lemon Shake-Up:
1. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of syrup to each glass of ice water.
2. Add the rind of one/half lemon that you squeezed to get the juice.
3. Cover glass and shake to blend.
So….what do you think? Easy or sugary – or both? Let us know! Or if you have a BETTER way to make lemon shake-ups in YOUR recipe box, please share!
How to Eat a Cupcake
Thought I knew how to eat a cupcake. I bet you thought you knew how to eat a cupcake, too. Recently I saw a TV food show about the favorite foods of some of the top chefs in the country. One of them gushed about a local cupcake and catering company in her nearby town.
And then she showed us all how to each a cupcake.
Most people think they know how to eat a cupcake. You take the pleated cupcake liner paper off and toss it away (or chew on it awhile). Then you dig your chops into the middle, biting off an equal amount of cake and frosting, often smudging a bit on your upper lip. Continue reading

When using Smokeless Delite electronic cigarette, the act of inhaling or smoking it produces the tactile and craving satisfactions traditional smokers seek, and triggers a vaporizing process that releases a simulated smoke that is actually a vapor mist that harmlessly evaporates into the air within a few seconds.
The carcinogenic properties of nicotine in a standalone form (i.e., separated from smoking or chewing tobacco) have not been evaluated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, However current available literature indicates that nicotine in standalone form does not promote the development of cancer in healthy tissue and has no mutagenic properties.
Smokeless Delite electronic cigarette contains only water, propylene glycol, nicotine, and a scent that emulates a tobacco flavor. None of these ingredients are considered cancer-causing agents. The Food and Drug Administration deems propylene glycol safe. Nicotine itself is not believed to have toxicological effects, offers some therapeutic uses and can be found in pepper, tomato, eggplant and potato.
Cigarettes and cigars commonly contain tobacco, nicotine, glue and paper, which when ignited, along with hundred of additives (our research has shown up to 601 additives), according to the Centers for Disease Control, harm nearly every organ of the body, and cause cancer, and cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
With a note saying wha you were delivered from Smokelessdelite.com and what the correct electronic cigarette product should be and we will have it shipped out to you as soon as we get it. Sorry in advance it this happens to you.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Democratic U.S. Rep. Kathleen Hochul has lost her bid for re-election in the Republican-leaning district she won last year in a special election.
Hochul was defeated Tuesday by Republican Chris Collins, a former Erie County executive.
27th Congressional District |
Exclusive WBEN Audio Collins with WBEN's David Bellavia
Chris Collins Victory Speech
Cong. Kathy Hochul addresses supporters before final vote totals |
Collins frequently tried to link Hochul to President Barack Obama's administration, as well as to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Hochul, meanwhile, had campaigned as an independent voice in Washington who often voted against the administration.
The race was a top draw for outside money in New York. A poll showed a dead heat in its final weeks. Hochul earlier in the night said the race was too close to call.
The sprawling 27th Congressional District stretches across eight counties and the suburban and rural towns between Buffalo and Rochester.
STATEMENT FROM KATHY HOCHUL ON 2012 ELECTION "Early this morning I called Chris Collins and congratulated him on being elected to Congress. I encouraged him to work across the aisle and offered to assist him in any way I can. I also volunteered to help him make a smooth transition in January to ensure our constituents are well served. Congress can do better, and the people of this country deserve better than what Washington has given them." |
In 2010, New York sent more new Republicans to Congress than any other state. Tonight, Chris Collins unseated another Democratic incumbent, proving that the Republican message of economic growth, job creation, lower taxes and fiscal discipline can be a political winner in every corner of the Empire State.
Chris Collins is a successful small businessman with 36 years in the private sector, saving and creating hundreds of good paying jobs in Erie, Niagara and Monroe counties.
As Erie County Executive, Chris took the county in the worst financial shape of any county in New York and reduced debt by over $120 million, created a cash surplus in excess of $100 million, reduced county employment by over 1,200 employees (22%) saving $72 million per year and reopened every bridge, road, park and beach that had been closed due to a lack of funding.
With over $16 trillion in debt, America's finances are in dire straights, and Chris Collins' voice will be a breath of fresh air to the tax-and-spend culture of Congress.
We congratulate him on his victory and welcome him into New York's Republican Congressional delegation.

Photography Travelogues – Finding the right balance
June 28, 2012 5 Comments
Young Street Merchants in Hosap, Eastern Turkey
Our bus stopped at the top of the hill at the entrance to the Hosap castle, so it didn't take the residents in the town below too long to work out that potential customers were about! However, to sell to us, we also had a price: they had to pose for a photograph!
Does the colour look approximately correct in the photograph above?
We can see it is late in the day with yellow sunlight kissing the tops of the background hills, leaving the shadows cooler and almost blue. It's an emotive response to colour, but is it accurate? And should it be accurate?
Often, the colours we use in our photographs are technically incorrect (depending on the colour model we're using as a reference), but they still look pretty good!
For instance, your camera uses its white balance system to set a 'correct' colour balance, but since the camera doesn't know what the light is like, it can only adjust the white balance to a theoretical 'zero' or 'correct' position.
Speaking non-technically, white balance is the term used for getting the colour cast correct at the point of capture, or when processing the raw file. It uses a temperature (yellow/blue) and tint (magenta/green) colour model to make colour adjustments. Colour balance is when we change the colour cast, usually during editing the file. The colour balance dialog uses the three red/cyan, green/magenta and blue/yellow channels. Both approaches to controlling the colour cast in a photograph can achieve similar results and are sometimes referred to interchangeably.
This is the image with the white balance suggested by the camera. The camera has seen the warmth in the light and neutralised it, but perhaps cooling the colour a little bit too much.
If you're not happy with the colour balance, you can use the white balance tool in Capture One to change it. Using the white balance picker, click on objects that are white or neutral in colour, or that should be or could be neutral.
In this image, I have clicked the white balance picker on the girl's white handkerchief, but I think it has too many optical brighteners in it because the result is much too blue.
In this third example, I have clicked on the grey roadway on the right of the image. Whether the road should be neutral grey or not isn't really the point, because the rest of the image looks just right. I find using the white balance picker on various areas in the image while processing in Capture One is a useful way for determining the best colour balance, even if the white balance setting isn't 'accurate' or 'correct'!
You also have to be aware of how your viewers feel about certain colours. For instance, technically speaking, snow at high altitudes in the shadows is blue, but if it looks too blue in a photograph, it can look unnatural to many people. For this reason, snow photos can benefit from a slightly warmer colour balance, even though this may be technically incorrect.
So, if a technically correct colour balance isn't necessarily the best, why do our cameras try to set it?
Whether we end up using a technically correct colour balance in our final edit is one matter; starting our photographic editing with a technically correct colour balance within our image file is another.
Many photographers find it very useful to start with a correctly colour balanced file. It helps ground their creative process and it also gives them a place to return if colours go awry.
So, unless you are sure about the colour balance you want in the final image, good camera practice dictates that we aim to produce image files which can produce a neutral or natural white balance. This is one of the reasons shooting raw files is so important because you can always reset the white balance within a raw file, something that can be much more difficult (if not impossible) to do with a JPEG file.
In the hero image at the top of the page, I have used two white balance settings. The girls in the foreground have a warm white balance setting, while the background has a cooler, bluer setting. Providing this subtle colour contrast also helps bring the subjects forward, emphasising them against the cooler background.
I hope you like it!

Purchase Reason
Great picture with a fantastic colour contrast. Appears slightly out of focus up close, but not a big 'con'.
Previous comments relate to the white spots in the bottom corner. They are obvious but are part of the picture. Not an issue !!
Purchase Reason
Bought for dining room, very nice colors
Purchase Reason
The painting has white bleached out spots on the bottom right and a few areas throughout. It looks defective, however other art sites show the same white spots. I can't imagine that it was actually painted this way. In any event, I'm not happy with it and will be returning the painting.
Purchase Reason
There are white splotches in the lower right corner that detract from the otherwise colorful work. Look carefully and make sure this is what you want.
Purchase Reason
No problem with content or quality, but we wished it came in a taller size (not wider though), and we thought the content lent itself to being of a taller variety. We have to supplement with something else to make up for its squat nature

Dysthymia is similar to depression. However, dysthymia symptoms are milder and can last over two years. It is a mild to moderate depression that may go away during periods of normal mood that last up to two months.
Dysthymia can be treated with medications. Contact your doctor if you think you have this condition.
The cause of dysthymia is not known. A chemical in the brain called serotonin may play a role. Serotonin helps your brain handle emotions and make judgments. It is also associated with a sense of well-being.
Risk Factors
Dysthymia is more common in women than in men. Factors that may increase your chance of developing dysthymia include:
- Family history of major depression or dysthymia
- Chronic mental or physical illness
- Chronic stress
People who have dysthymia may also experience episodes of major depression.
Dysthymia may be difficult to differentiate from depression due to many overlapping symptoms which may include:
- Feelings of sadness and/or hopelessness
- Poor appetite or overeating
- Trouble concentrating
- Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
- Trouble concentrating
- Fatigue
- Low self-esteem
- Difficulty functioning at work and school
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and psychological exam will be given.
Your doctor may refer you to a specialist for further evaluation. Tests may be done to look for medical causes like thyroid problems.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
Antidepressant Medications
Antidepressant medications may help to manage symptoms. Antidepressants take a few weeks to begin working. Take them as directed by your doctor.
Therapy can help change unhealthy thought patterns. Psychotherapy may include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Counseling
- Family therapy
- Interpersonal therapy
Lifestyle Modifications
In addition to medications and therapy, the following lifestyle modifications may help you feel better:
- Participate in enjoyable activities.
- Eat a healthful diet.
- Avoid illegal drugs and alcohol.
- Begin a safe exercise program with the advice of your doctor.
- Have a regular sleep schedule.

Readers react to Obama's call for gay rights during inauguration speech
For the first time in the nation's history, the rights of gay Americans was referenced in a presidential inauguration address.
President Barack Obama said, "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law."
"If we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well."
Many have called Obama's 18-minute speech "historical" — which also included the topics of global climate change, promoting equal pay for women, gun restrictions, Social Security and for citizens to find a common ground.
"Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time," he said.
Several readers commented on The Oakland Press' Facebook page about Obama using the word "gay" for the first time in an inauguration address.
Watch a report on Obama's stance on gay rights during today's News at Noon.
White Lake resident Jamie Kinnison said, "It made me even more proud to be an American." Continued...
Huntington Woods resident Barry Lepler, a retired Berkley Schools teacher, said the Declaration of Independence states, "All men are created equal," and "the history of the United States can be seen as more people (are) included."
Farmington Hills resident Joel Hearshen wrote, "The gay and lesbian community has been ignored at every inauguration until today. Perhaps this is indicative of real progress that continues to be made in recognizing that this is indeed a country that aims to recognize the contributions of all Americans without regard to those things that have separated us in the past."
Wayne State University student Tim Alexandrovich Millerman wrote, "Nothing's wrong with treating gay people with respect. Thumbs up."
Obama's speech occurred on Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year. And Oakland Press reader Travis LaFalce emphasized, as King Jr. said in his speech 50 years ago that people should not be judged by the color of their skin, people also shouldn't be judged by their sexual orientation.
LaFalce wrote, "I have a dream that one day we will not be judged by the person we love, but by the content of our character."

After learning that his younger brother had been diagnosed with Leukemia, a Callaway High School student fearlessly endured endless measures to help keep him alive.
In late September of 2007, Kavon Zelaya, 14, was diagnosed with Leukemia. Before his diagnosis, his mother Sabrina said he had always been a healthy and outgoing child. Almost 9 years old, she began to observe that Kevon was always tired and complained of his joints hurting, but despite his pain, he still remained the same happy child that everyone knew.
"He was still very sociable, he just didn't have the energy to do much," said Sabrina.
After learning that Kavon had Leukemia, Sabrina remembered how distraught she was.
"I was hysterical at first because I thought it was uncommon in African-American males," she said. "But I found that it's really not."
Kavon went through chemotherapy treatments and radiation, and later it was determined that he had to have a bone marrow transplant, which is a common procedure for Leukemia patients.
The procedure took place in January 2008 at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, with the help of his brother LaBronze Zelaya, a 16-year-old sophomore and line backer at Callaway High School. LaBronze made the decision to undergo surgery that would allow him to donate bone marrow to his little brother.
"He needed it to stay alive," LaBronze Zelaya said. "I had to help him some kind of way."
The doctors told the Zelayas that they could try to get bone marrow from another source, but it would be best to test a sibling or family member with the same blood type. LaBronze Zelaya made the final decision to volunteer himself for the donation procedure.
Without fear, LaBronze Zelaya went through a one day outpatient surgery that lasted almost three hours. He recalled being in pain for almost a week after surgery.
"I didn't know what to expect, but I wasn't scared at all to do it," he said.
LaBronze Zelaya's bone marrow was transferred to his brother during the bone marrow transplant, and the operation was successful. The doctors told the Zelayas that once the new cells start growing, Kavon Zelaya would develop his brother's cells, which will leave him in remission for five years, but expected the cancerous cells to come back with in a year.
Years after the surgery, in the seventh grade, Kavon Zelaya became involved in sports as a defensive tackle for Callaway Middle School. The team was undefeated that year.
In May 2011, when Kavon Zelaya went to the hospital for his yearly checkup, doctors found an abnormality of cells in his testicles during an ultrasound. It was another shock to the family and doctors, who assumed that the cancerous cells might have come back a year after the surgery.
Doctors told the Zelayas that Kavon would have to undergo more treatments and another bone marrow transplant. When the time came for the transplant, it was discovered that Kavon's kidney levels were very low, thus delaying the transplant date several times for two months.
Once again, despite the pain, LaBronze Zelaya volunteered to undergo the surgery to donate his bone marrow to his brother in a second surgical procedure.
"I needed to do it for him. I had to look out for my brother," he said.
"The day of his transplant he was really excited to get it done because of it being pushed back several times," Sabrina Zelaya said of her elder son.
In November, the second transplant was performed, which would ultimately be the last. Days after the transplant, the doctors told the Zelayas that Kavon's counts never came in and he was not able to pick up his older brother's cells. On Dec. 5, one month later, Kavon Zelaya died in Atlanta.
Despite the failed transplant, Sabrina Zelaya praised LaBronze for his courage and bravery.
"He is our big hero," she said. "I'm proud that he stood up and went through it all for his brother. His brother really looked up to him."
Sabrina Zelaya described Kavon as a fun-loving kid who loved to laugh and see others laugh. He always kept a smile on his face and he would always see the bright side of things.
She said that LaBronze was one of Kavon's biggest role models.
"I'm glad I did it," LaBronze Zelaya said. "I'm just glad he doesn't have to suffer anymore and we don't have to worry about going to the doctor and them saying, 'Oh it's come back again.'"

9 March 2001
The Ministry of Fisheries will celebrate Seaweek 2001 (9-13 March) by distributing colourful posters and pamphlets promoting an understanding of marine biodiversity to New Zealand schools and libraries.
Seaweek provides the perfect opportunity to get across the message that everyone, including school children, must play a part in the preservation of New Zealand's rich biodiversity within our unique marine environment. The Ministry of Fisheries is the main government agency with the job of managing potential biosecurity risks to our marine environment.
Around two-thirds of New Zealand's biodiversity is found in the sea. This includes 1000 fish species, 61 varieties of seabird, 41 different types of marine mammals, 2000 molluscs, 350 sponges, 900 types of seaweed and 400 echinoderms. And the list is growing with about seven new species identified each fortnight.
Government announced last year it will spend $14.1 million on research programmes to increase the knowledge of marine biodiversity, as part of a comprehensive five-year biodiversity package involving conservation, environment, fisheries and biosecurity. The Ministry of Fisheries, Department of Conservation and Ministry for the Environment are co-operating in this work.
Later this year the Ministry will also be launching a new web-based version of a school information kit at www.fish.govt.nz . ST*Rfish (short for Student and Teacher Resource), will contain lots of information to help students learn about New Zealand's fisheries. Different sections will focus on economics, science, social studies and geography.

Cherokee County (7-21) played keep away most of the game, opting to run as much clock as possible on its possessions to neutralize the threat of Hokes Bluff (19-9) 7-foot-2 center Isaac Haas.
In the end, though, the Eagles did just enough to advance the championship against Jacksonville on Monday. Jacksonville got a 3-pointer from Dez Curry in the final seconds to knock off Alexandria 54-53 Friday.
For Hokes Bluff, Haas did plenty of damage when he had his chances. He scored all nine points of the overtime frame for the Eagles and finished with 24 points.
The game stayed close throughout with Hokes Bluff leading 10-9 at the end of the first quarter and 21-18 at halftime. The Eagles took a 25-23 advantage into the fourth quarter but found themselves trailing 31-28 with about five minutes remaining in the contest. They rallied from there to secure a spot in the title game and in the sub-regional round.
A win at sub-region would send Hokes Bluff to the Northeast Regional tournament at Jacksonville State University.
Tanner Shields added eight points for Hokes Bluff.
For Cherokee County, Jo Jo Diamond scored 18 points and Tony Pruitt added 16 points.
Class 2A, Area 11
Gaston 52, Sand Rock 40
RAINBOW CITY – A big run in the fourth quarter helped Gaston rally for a 52-40 win over Sand Rock on Friday night to advance to the finals of the Class 2A, Area 11 tournament.
The Bulldogs (6-14) trailed the entire game and faced a 36-31 deficit heading into the fourth, but it was a different game from there. Gaston picked up the pressure on defense and got some easy buckets in transition that aided a 17-0 run to take command of the contest.
The win advanced the Bulldogs into Monday night's championship game against No. 6 Westbrook Christian at 7 p.m.
Trevion Rooks led all scorers Friday night with 20 points. He added 11 rebounds. Jackson Bogle had 11 points and six assists, Albert Douglas had eight points, while Braxton Collins added 12 rebounds.
For Sand Rock (11-15), Dakota Mabry scored nine points. Joel Brock, Devon Howard and Sean Stansell each had six points. Dylan Mackey finished with five points.
Class 3A, Area 10
Piedmont 53, Saks 49
ANNISTON – The Piedmont Bulldogs held on for a 53-49 upset victory over top-seeded Saks in the Class 3A, Area 10 tournament Friday.
The Bulldogs (8-19) advance to meet Weaver in Monday's area championship game at 7 p.m. The Bearcats defeated White Plains 61-54 in the other tournament semifinal at Saks High School. Saks' season come to an end at 21-6.
Denard Spears led the Bulldogs with 14 points. Dreek Thompson added 12 points. Taylor Hayes and Darnell Jackson both contributed eight points. Jackson also had seven rebounds.
Daniel Heard led Saks with 18 points. Tre Smith netted 15 points and Chase Johnson finished with 10 points.

Hi everyone, my name is Alco... I run iRakeBack.co.uk. We just started out so if you're looking for a good rakeback deal I appreciate your support. We are part of the biggest rakeback group online so you are guaranteed the best % commissions on the web.
Enough selling... I play poker full time and do not work for a living. I discovered poker about 7 years ago and I have to admit, being a risk taking person; I lost a lot of money when I started. I have buckets full of advice for anyone who is just starting playing poker, so feel free to ask any questions.
I became a poker affiliate after being asked by an agency to DJ at an event. I would never have thought it would be a poker exhibition (CAP London). £500 a day meant I didn't ask any questions and I got to meet the owners of Cake Poker. They had just started their own network and informed me how much money was to be made in the industry. I immediately registered every single domain name I could think of.... Many moons later...
is the only site up and running at present. If anyone is interested in earning more money earning rake back and looking to start their own rakeback site, with every aspect being provided, just drop me a line.
I'm here to help and I will provide you as much info on rakeback as I can.
Thanks for having me on Poker Nations and talk soon.

Author Bruce Boyer wrote that successfully combining four patterns in an ensemble is the domain of the expert dresser (he expressed himself more gracefully than that but I am not by my library as I write this). And four patterns are truly difficult; indeed, in the context of business dress even a successful result will usually be too distracting to the eye.
The same challenge applies with as few as two patterns worn together. A satisfactory result is easier to achieve but may have a tendency to look as though the wearer is proud of himself for combining his checked shirt and striped necktie. That is of course the opposite of the objective of business dress which, as someone other than Mr. Boyer wrote long ago, is to stay out of the way so that men can do business.
All solids in combination is far too simplistic to be an alternative, leaving us inevitably with one pattern as the standard for quiet propriety. I use a photo of Lapo Elkann, a man not necessarily known for his propriety, to illustrate the point. Ignoring the pale socks and mother of pearl jacket buttons, and even those are restrained by the general peacefulness of the remainder of his clothing, a checked necktie is the only visible pattern. The result is quietly appropriate, or rather it would be but for the socks and the buttons.
Wear only one pattern to the office.

Wear Only One Pattern to the Office
26 comments:
- seitelman said...
Will, the advice of "one pattern" was also Mortimer Levitt's advice on clothes.
Mr. Levitt was the founder of the Custom Shop. He wrote "The Executive Look."
Mr. Levitt stated that a man should wear one fancy and two plains. In other words, If the suit wwere plaid or striped, wear a solid shirt and tie. Similarly, with a solid suit you could wear either a striped tie or a striped shirt, but not both.
Mr. Levitt favored this simple look because men look best in either evening wear or military uniform. Both are plain and simple ensembles.
I am not a strict adherent to the rule, but the "one pattern" look is the cleanest and most elegant look especially for transacting business.
Incidentally, good photo of Lapo Elkann. Never saw him look so good!

I guess this is one we'll have to disagree on Will. They don't come much more conservative than myself but the notion that you can only wear one pattern seems a bit too restrictive. Yesterday I was wearing a lightish weight wool blue accented POW check suit, blue end on end shirt, navy blue crepe de chine tie with white spots, and black captoe brogues. The notion that this was pushing the envelope in a business situ I find preposterous. A regimental tie with a blue chalk stripe suit is inappropriate to conduct business would come as new to many in Britain. I have no problem with a more muted look at times but to rule out two patterns or maybe even three one you roll in socks is to mind preposterous. Four I agree is a stretch outside country wear.

I follow the 1 pattern rule for court appearances, although if stucked to the office 2 patterns are very common. The fact I don't usually wear striped suits make it harder to go further, too. Truth be told, I only own two DB striped suits. Being quite skinny, at 6'00''/160 pounds (when fatter!), I find striped suits not very flattering, especially SB.

"I find striped suits not very flattering, especially SB."
And there I've been thinking they were very flattering for forty odd years (I'm 6' and 168 pounds). I don't wear pinstripes but worsted or flannel chalkstripe and consider them exceptionally elegant in single or DB form although the cut is classic coat and draped pant and not today's skimpier look. And nothing looks better with them than a tiny spot foulard tie or the two tone heavy woven silks from Macclesfield or Charvet. - August 24, 2010 at 12:25:00 PM PDT

Well Joe it is a bit of a stretch to construe my post as arguing that two patterns is inappropriate. I do believe that one pattern is somewhat better looking, particularly when the above the waist elements are textured. See most of the photos of Montezemolo published here these past couple of years.

What's with all the hatred for the double-breasted lapels? It's a double-breasted suit unbuttoned. It's the way he's wearing it that makes the lapels look so wide. But it is a double-breasted suit after all.

I'm surprised at the reaction to Will's simple point about the elegance of dressing simply.
Always the dandy, Lapo Elkann can dandify even a subdued outfit like this.
But what is Will saying with this photo and essay? Dress like Lapo Elkann? Perish the thought! Never wear more than one pattern? Absolutely not! He's saying that one pattern for business situations is enough, because (in this post anyway) he is talking about business wear, which should "stay out of the way so that men can do business."
Look at it this way: what would you do to make yourself look good if you restricted yourself to one pattern?
To paraphrase seitelman, men look best in plain and simple ensembles. So the challenge is to create a simple outfit that isn't boring.
Which is not an order to give up one's hard-won pattern combining skills.
After all, dressing appropriately for the time and place is central to the notion of classic dressing. If I read this post correctly, that's what it's about. - August 24, 2010 at 3:32:00 PM PDT

"Well Joe it is a bit of a stretch to construe my post as arguing that two patterns is inappropriate."
Really? Overall I agree with most of your opinions Will, and I'm sure you know more about clothes than I ever will (why else would I regularly follow you), but in this particular case you're being over restrictive. Take a look at some of those Esquire illustrations from the thirties which you like so much, many of which are set in work situations, and patterns abound. I'm very conscious you have to be careful in certain work situs because you don't want to stand out too much but then just go for muted patterns. I've actually found that with three sensible conservative patterns I'm much less conspicuous than guys with blue pin striped suits, solid shirts/white collars (very Donald Trump) and lime green Hermes ties with red/blue motifs. And I've just described a not uncommon "uniform" in international business. For those that lack experience with combining colors, textures, and patterns you're giving sensible advice but if you can handle it be a bit more adventurous I'd say. Most of the men aren't going to notice but the women will! - August 24, 2010 at 3:54:00 PM PDT
- Brummagem Joe said...
"But it is a double-breasted suit after all."
His lapels do look rather wider than the norm Matt, although it could just be the way the pic is taken. I love db suits, nothing looks better in a formal environment.
"He's saying that one pattern for business situations is enough, because (in this post anyway) he is talking about business wear, which should "stay out of the way so that men can do business."
Well that's where we have an honest disagreement Horatio. If you have a knack or some experience you can easily do two or maybe even three patterns. I do it all the time and I absolutely abhor over flashy dressing. - August 24, 2010 at 4:05:00 PM PDT
- Horatio said...
"lime green Hermes ties with red/blue motifs"
Once again showing that something that costs more is not necessarily better.
Consider also Cary Grant. Though he wore patterns in his youth, when he grew older (i.e., by the time he was in color movies), he wore nothing but solids. His ability to look good in no patterns is one of the reasons he remains a fashion icon.
Incidentally, I agree with both Willl and Brummagen Joe. - August 24, 2010 at 4:32:00 PM PDT
- Pol said...
Brummagem Joe, I think that the message may be more profound than you have perceived initially. It is true that with some experience, you can combine two and three patterns. But could it also possible that in most instances the wearer could have looked better in the particular circumstances? If one is more appropriate, it does not mean that the other is not good.
I myself tend to wear several patterns every day when working. In my environment, I am not required to dress up and as a result I useh a mix of several patterns and colors to make my dressing more exciting. I can do this because I am surrounded by people in jeans, shorts, t-shirts and similar attire.
On the other hand, if I had to meet a banker or an important client, I would probably follow Will's advice. I feel as if my ensemble would be a safer bet with less risk of displeasing the other party.
Will's post is actually very accurate in the sense that most people in my area who wear suits usually wear black suits and a solid shirt. Since they don't wear pocket squares, that leaves them with only one pattern visible on the tie. Maybe that has nothing to do with it, but it is worth considering. - August 24, 2010 at 5:00:00 PM PDT
- Brummagem Joe said...
"most people in my area who wear suits usually wear black suits and a solid shirt......If one is more appropriate,"
What are they Pol? Pop stars or security guards? Unless you intend to follow one of these occupations never, ever, buy a black suit outside of evening dress. Multi patterns are not "less appropriate" provided it's done with with restraint. That's my point. I'll be wearing three patterns tomorrow, and a knitted tie, and I wouldn't look out of place sitting next to J. P. Morgan. Well only slightly!!
"Once again showing that something that costs more is not necessarily better."
Horatio:I've nothing against Hermes ties per se, I've got one, but they are something of a uniform item in the business set and can produce a far noisier effect than conservatively matched patterns(particularly when teamed with contrasted collar/body shirts). I know some people who wear nothing else but Hermes ties.
The fact is there is no one answer. I don't disagree that two solids and one pattern can look very good but to make it a rule of life for work situations is simply not necessary and is going make you look very boring after a time. - August 24, 2010 at 5:50:00 PM PDT

Er no, but you did say wear only one pattern to the office and that's where my dissent occurs.

Micro or mini patterns can help a closet dandy wear three or four patterns and look like he's only wearing one.
Blue suit in mini houndstooth, which looks solid unless we're embracing.
Anatrite knit tie which looks solid black from a foot away.
The only visible pattern is the blue butcher stripe shirt. That's three patterns. For most, it's a somber blue suit, black tie with a striped shirt. But we'd have to be kissing for you to notice the patterns.
Hey...makes me crack up at the board meeting...
Black shoes, please...Lapo's blue suede shoes are nice, but only at the Agnelli ranch.
Lapo's brother John Elkann is a better example of how a younger man should dress in business. He's usually in a solid blue suit, sober tie, and shirt and dark simple shoes. Boring, you say? Guess which brother recently became the new president of FIAT? - August 25, 2010 at 7:31:00 AM PDT

Brummagem Joe,
I wasn't knocking Hermes ties per se; I was observing, indirectly, that for less than half the price (or, if you're a good shopper, less than a tenth of the prices) of a gaudy tie by Hermes (or another manufacturer), you can get a high-quality tie in a subdued pattern from another manufacturer.
Which is not to say that all Hermes ties are unwearable--just those that feature hideous colors like lime green.
Still waiting for one to show up in my local thrift stores. Where I live, one might! - August 28, 2010 at 9:01:00 PM PDT

I would beg to differ - I had 6 Custom Shop shirts made up in San Francisco back in the early to mid 90s, and they still look good.
A youthful good call on my part to get nicely tailored shirts - nicely tapered, with french cuffs, and a few collar and texture variations. I've kept up the habit. These days I'd go with different tailors, but more out of snobbishness and larger wallet than from a quality perspective.
I also like van Laack OTR shirts - bought in Dusseldorf - some I have had since my college days in the 80s and they still look good. Don't ask me how I managed to make the good call to buy 6 of those shirts when I was 20 - painfully expensive back then too. - January 18, 2013 at 6:39:00 AM PST
- Dovid said...
When I think of four patterns, I think of suit, shirt, tie and pocket square. I could conceive of serious business wear that had a subtle pattern in the suit, contrasting color for the collar and cuffs of the shirt, a muted tie and pocket square. Yes, technically four patterns, but nothing that took away from the wearer, or detracted from the message he is delivering.

Croc 2 Infrared Flat Iron (1")
TamaraI Love Croc Irons For Professional Use.....be Careful At Home!I have been a licensed stylist for over 20 years and I have tried dozens of irons. Croc titanium plate irons are the best for coarse/natural textures. I did not give this infrared a full 5 stars because the older discontinued titanium plate infrared Croc 2 worked better for me in a professional setting. Always use heat protection, only use on freshly shampooed and deep conditioned dry hair, and never go higher than 410.posted Jul 31, 2012Link to this post
JHairDark BrownNormal HairOily HairIt's AverageI wanted to try a new iron - used Solia - and looked up several online and was taken by the reviews of the Croc. I never really liked it; it left my hair too dry and the iron seemed sort of rough, but I kept it. I've had it for a year now and it doesn't work anymore. It turns on but after a few minutes the iron shuts itself off. The spring that opens the iron has fallen out and it also makes a crackling sound. I thought it would last longer, considering I actually took care of this iron (the price made me do it). Anyway, I'm currently using my sister's Sedu, which she's had for years and leaves your hair shiny and smooth.posted Jul 27, 2012Link to this post

digital temp reading, infrared setting will make the hair super shiny and smooth.
a must have if you are doing japanese straightening or keratin treatments.
iron automatically turns off after a certain amount of time.
Only downside is that the flat iron and the plates are not rounded at the edges so you have to be cautious to not put too much tension on closing if you are trying to make a bend or curl with this iron. ~ it will leave a dent.posted Jul 24, 2012Link to this post -
SherryCanadaHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairOh My Frickin' Gawd!!!!I just picked up this product last night at Trade Secrets and spent a small fortune on it. I'm 38 and I have naturally blonde very frizzy hair and most flat irons I've used leave my hair looking like a frizzy dry rat's nest that is half-a$$ straight. I've never been able to achieve that sleek silky shiny straight look that's completely frizz-free unless I go to the salon and pay big bucks. I've tried product after product and wasted so much money on stuff I only used once and then chucked. I could have paid for two croc irons last night with the money I've wasted on products that claimed they would tame and get control of my frizz! I'm telling you as someone with unruly and disgustingly frizzy hair...you have got to buy this iron. Get over the cost of it and pay whatever they're asking because you are in for the shock of your life! There are certain things you go cheap on in life and certain things you don't. Your hair is going to be with you for life so you need to take care of it. If you want beautiful hair, you have to use only the best tools to get it. If you want frizzy inferior hair, then by all means, keep using cheap inferior tools and you will continue to have hair that you just want to put back in a ponytail or bun because the frizz is so horrible. Omg this iron is for you and don't you even hesitate for a second to go and get yourself one. You deserve it! I feel like this iron has changed my life...I really mean it. I even slept on it last night but this morning when I looked in the mirror, my jaw dropped open. I expected to see nothing but frizz, as per usual, but as soon as I brushed it, it looked exactly like it did last night when I freshly ironed it! No frizz at all, which has been my BIGGEST problem. Nothing but gorgeous silky shiny bouncy perfect salon hair is what I woke up with. Perfectly pin straight. I cannot believe I'm writing this but it's the gospel truth. I will never use anything else again. This iron is a cut above the rest and you can expect unbelievably gorgeous hair when you use it. Don't mess with the rest....get the best. Enjoy your beautiful hair ladies. I'm going to the mall today to show off my gorgeous pin straight waist-length FRIZZ-FREE hair. Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming. :)posted Jul 21, 2012Link to this post
TamaraHairDark BrownNormal HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairIn Love!Over the years I have previously owned straighteners by Sedu and Solia (Top 10? Why?) prior to this one. I would be excited to receive them in the mail and would try them out as soon as I got them only to be disappointed. After a while I just thought that was the best straighteners could do. I figured settling for slight waves always being in my hair, uncontrollable ends (even after a fresh cut), horrible frizz and dryness were just the way of straighteners. I figured a lot of time had to be used with these devices and you were supposed to run them through your hair countless times just to inflict more damage for little results. I thought I could only achieve perfect hair after leaving a salon. Flat irons I owned were considered "salon quality" by I'm not sure who's standards. So I figured maybe it was technique, different hair product, and experience that took away from what I tried to create. I ignored my stylist urging me to get the Babyliss because I had already wasted money buying a few straighteners only to be disappointed. I finally got fed up and after countless research I decided to go with the Croc 2 Infrared. My god I am glad I did. I only have to run it through my hair once. It doesn't drag like the others I have used. It controls my ends and doesn't dry them out. I get perfectly pin straight hair. Best of all it feels healthy and soft. The other straighteners could not do that. It looks like I walked straight out of a salon and I am so happy with it. I used to hate spending time straitening my hair only for the humidity to ruin it in 20 minutes. This one does not do that. Also, I straighten my hair on a lower heat setting than my others only to get better results with less damage. I love this thing. The only thing I am concerned with is durability, some others reviews complain about that. If it lasts me a good while, even a year at the very least I will probably never buy from another brand. It is well worth its money.posted Jul 8, 2012Link to this post
LindaHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairBest Flat Iron I've Ever Owned!I have thick, wavy hair and have had several salon quality straighteners over the years. The Croc 2 Infared is by far the best for straightening and adding shine and the added bonus is that it heats up fast to 450* so less repetative motion over the same strands of hair. I would recommend this product without hesitation.posted May 22, 2012Link to this post

After doing my reviews, I settled on the Croc Infra Red and I am so glad I did! This flat iron blows Sedu away. My hair looks so silky and shiny. I have naturally curly hair that I straighten with Japanese Straightening and this flat iron makes my hair look as though I just had it done at a salon.

Once it broke(AFTER ~6~ MONTHS of use):

It turned off at least 5 times during about 40 minutes of use
Basically after -it broke IT WAS OF NO USE

He has been employed by the Acadia Parish Clerk of Court's Office for the past 25 years and is currently the head of the research and copy department.
Griffin reproduces conveyance, mortgage and miscellaneous records, and his work and assistance are especially important to attorneys, abstractors and surveyors.

Griffin's boss, Acadia Parish Clerk of Court Robbie Barousse, describes him as hard-working, conscientious and honest, noting that he is the first employee into work each day and that he usually has to tell him to go home at the end of the day.
