This article covers a group of items without enough details to merit separate articles.
A booby trap is a trap designed either to injure and/or kill someone, or to give away the location of an enemy by triggering a signalling device. A booby trap is always concealed or disguised in some way so that it either cannot be seen or looks harmless. Typically, a booby trap will be hidden inside, behind or underneath another object.
Pit trap
A pit trap is a man-made pit that has been covered with various leaves and sticks to conceal it within the environment. If stepped on, the artificial floor will give way, causing whatever stepped on it to fall into a pit which is usually filled with wooden spikes, or simply too deep to climb out from. Many pit traps were set up in the forests of Tselinoyarsk, USSR, during the 1960s.
Mechanical pit traps, activated by pressure sensors, are also utilized in urban environments. These were used in the military fortresses of Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land (the Zanzibar Land variant also had an active safety system to prevent Zanzibar Land personnel from activating them), and the nuclear weapons disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island. The Big Shell also had a similar trap in place where the panels on certain connection bridges would collapse down into the bay when someone steps on them.
A tripwire is a passive triggering mechanism, in which a wire or cord is attached to some device for detecting or reacting to physical movement. Tripwires are usually outstretched between two trees, and if viewed through thermal goggles, give off a slight heat signature. They can be avoided by crawling under, rolling over, or activating them from afar with a grenade or other weapon. A similar device was utilized within Zanzibar Land, although the wires in that particular case simply hinder the progress of one of the personnel instead of maiming/alerting the guards.
Tripwires can be attached to a variety of devices, which when triggered, result in the following actions:
- Swinging log: A log fitted with sharp stakes will plummet down into the path of the victim, causing severe lacerations.
- Rattling cans: A series of tin cans are rattled, giving away the location of an enemy.
- Explosive: A mine is detonated, causing severe injury to a person, and alerting nearby guards.
- Darts: A series of poisonous darts are launched.
Snares are anchored cables or wire nooses, usually set to catch wild animals. A snare traps an animal around the neck or the body and tightens around the animal, restraining it. In the case of a person, the noose is only small enough to tighten around the leg, and so can be cut with the person's free hand, using a knife.
- For more information, see M18 Claymore anti-personnel mine.
If a person steps on or near to a land mine, it will explode and cause severe injury. Mines are usually hidden beneath soil, or can utilize stealth technology to make them invisible to the naked eye.
Behind the scenes
Booby traps are featured in most Metal Gear games, though they are more prominently seen in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, especially in Graniny Gorki South, where Naked Snake later battles the Cobra Unit member, The Fear.
Dummied data for Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake indicated that the player was originally able to use the wire traps against enemies.

I totally hear you. I decided 100 items a month was a good personal goal. Keep up the good work everyone. Every thing is a little help!
today Tuesday, one pair of very worn out shoes in trash, one pair of very worn out slippers in trash
+ didn't realise it at the time but on Sat evening I went to put a drying rack by the curb, with the broken wheel scotch taped near from where it came off => thought someone would want to try and repair it & it would save me a call to arrange a specific day for collection .... and it worked !
the donate bag from the 20th is still in a cupboard ... will need about 15 items by this coming week end at this rate !
got inspired from my previous post => went to dust underbed storage boxes, switched some summer & winter items since I had to take the boxes out anyway& managed to find 20 items of my clothing which "are no longer me" ... so glad it's no longer so so difficult to part with clothing ....
it's in another "to donate bag" ... won't be able to drop both bags (the bag from 10 days ago !) before Friday am ....
must write a big post it & put it near the door so that I don't forget !!!
a harder task will now be tackle papers and piles of random stuff all stuffed in various container when I was in a hurry ....
stuff that was on the dining room table on the 12th ... has been sitting in a high pile on my computer chair since ... have been using various uncomfortable stools ever since .... this behavior of mine is ridiculous .... I need to make time both physically and in my mental space/head to tackle those ...
IM at 215 npw and everything finaly out of my house ! well exept one big book case that IM droping off sometime this week IM feeling better about decluttering but still like there just to much stuff
found a dozen plastic items in the kitchen that went to the donate bag + am puttin in it some worn out kitchen hand towels
still haven't tackled the pile from March 20th (which is still sitting on my computer chair whilst I make do with various uncomforatable options for sitting at the computer .... reading about decluttering !!! )
am going to TRY and tackle that pile from March 20th this morning ...
Typically, I just cannot start NOW, I have to think of other stuff that calls for my attention first,
probably something to do with trying to work slowly through my mounting anxiety level ...

There is a new virus that is spreading to dogs across the country. If not treated, health officials said it could kill an infected dog in just days. It is called Circovirus, and while there are no reports of any cases in East Texas, officials said it could be headed this way.
Sharon Phillips is a veterinarian for the Tyler Veterinary Center. She said since the circovirus is new, there is not a whole lot of information on it just yet.
"They first found that virus in pigs, which causes the same clinical symptoms as a dog, which is why I think they first started testing for it. They don't know any of the transmission, or how this virus came to possibly mutate into animals," Phillips said.

"Your bars are like someone who is glowing on the inside." - Sara
"I just got them! They are so delicious. I can't believe such chocolate existz on this planet. Of course it is only possible in Hawaii. Thank you for the addition of the gift. I will be sure to stop by your shop when I am in Kailua. Again, thank you for wonderful chocolates!" - Hideki
"I wanted to let you know that it has been really fun talking with you and eating your chocolate bars. You really know what you are doing. The chocolate bars look so beautiful, creamy, smooth and shiny. They have nice smells – all very different. And the texture of all your bars is perfect – a nice, crisp snap, always a clean break and very creamy. They chew and melt well. All are very flavorful and the Hamakua bars are especially bursting with flavor. I really like how I can taste the milk and the chocolate together in your milk bars. This is the best line of chocolate I have tried and I am very impressed. I really appreciate all your hard work and the delicacy that you put in to each step. It definitely shows. Please send me anything and everything that you make. And thanks for having them hand-delivered." - Sara (again)
"Wow! Your chocolate is simply the best. The Goat Milk bar is amazing." - Sandy
"It is a little hard to describe the Manoa Chocolate Hawaii experience, but every piece of chocolate I put in my mouth felt like a delicious, even sinful, pleasure. It is amazing how suddenly every little corner of my mouth and tongue was drenched in earthly goodness, and I say earthly because it tastes like a fruit, like something I could have picked from the most ancient looking tree I can imagine. Needless to say, I ate the whole bar, mostly just leaving chunks in my mouth, drawing and waiting until they melted. It was love at first sight. I tried to save a piece for my friend but my love for Manoa Chocolate Hawaii was stronger than my will." - Iza
"This is the sexiest chocolate I've ever had (Ghost Pepper bar)!" - Abra
"This is how chocolate should taste." - Sarah Bressler, nursing student
"Ghost Pepper = awesome night!" - Shandez

The article has now been published in an academic online journal on feminist studies, labrys. Itfs been cleaned up so there is less presumption of knowledge of the series discussed for non-fan readers, so please feel free to share the link with media and feminist studies folks.

VACHERIE — The head of a storage tank farm company ordered by the St. James Parish president to stop work on a site in Vacherie said the company's not walking away from the project.
"We've spent in excess of $40 million so far. We're not about to walk away from $40 million," Larry Sciacchetano, of Baton Rouge, managing partner and chief executive officer of Petroplex International, said Monday.
In early December, Parish President Timothy Roussel issued a stop-work order on the 1,700-acre site, saying work on the tank farm was not being done in a timely matter and that the company had mostly just moved dirt around.
On Saturday, Roussel issued a statement giving further information about the earlier stop order.
"One of the most important conditions was that Petroplex had to start permanent construction by July 31 and to pursue that construction continuously and diligently. … By late October, it was becoming clear that the initial dirt work was not making progress toward real construction," Roussel's statement reads.
Sciacchetano said, however, that dirt work is the first, vital step in the project.
"When you build a tank, you preload dirt on the (tank's) foundation, 24 feet of dirt on the site, just for the first tank," he said.
"We've never wanted to litigate it. In litigation, no one wins," Sciacchetano said. "We're trying to resolve it peaceably, but no one has approached us" with a way to resolve the issue.
Petroplex purchased the land for the tank farm, a 1,790-acre site then zoned industrial, for $19 million in 2011.
After St. James Parish adopted a new land-use plan in 2014 that changed the designation of that land from industrial to residential and agricultural, the parish Planning Commission rejected the Petroplex plans to place the $800 million crude oil storage tank farm there.
However, the Parish Council in May overruled that decision, issuing a land-use waiver to Petroplex after the company agreed to abide to a special resolution that named certain regulations and timelines for the project.
The initial permit for the plant was issued by the state Department of Environmental Quality in 2009.
That permitting decision by DEQ has been upheld by the 19th Judicial District Court and the Louisiana 1st Circuit of Appeal. Opponents to the permit had said the plant would emit compounds that could cause cancer.
On Monday, Roussel noted, "The Parish Council had passed a resolution in May giving them an extension through July 31."
"They did start moving dirt around" in July, he said, but since then, the company has not meet the resolution requirements.
Among those were specific project plans and a permit for a trailer at the site.
In the written statement, Roussel noted that the Louisiana Licensing Board for Contractors issued a cease-and-desist order this month "alleging that two contractors were performing work illegally without a license."
Sciacchetano said that on the day the parish president issued the stop-work order, on Dec. 3 or Dec. 4, there had been a meeting scheduled at 1 p.m. between Petroplex staff and parish officials to discuss the project and any concerns about it.
"At 8 a.m., the stop-work order (was issued), and they went to the site and ordered the workers home," Sciacchetano said.
"The stop-work order caught us by surprise," he said.
Sciacchetano and parish officials met, anyway, as scheduled at 1 p.m., he said.
"We showed them all our invoices and daily logs. They said all we're doing is moving dirt around," he said.
"When the land use was designated industrial forever (back in 2011), we borrowed $20 million with a bank in the state" through a U.S. Department of Agriculture program designed to support economic development in lower-income areas, Sciacchetano said.
The facility, with approximately 30 tanks planned, would bring 500 construction jobs to the parish, Sciacchetano said.
"When they passed the new land-use plan, we had an anchor tenant and an investor bail out," he said, before the project moved forward again.
"We can't just walk away. It's a government-guaranteed loan and investors," Sciacchetano said.
"Truthfully, it's beyond belief," he said. "It's an $800 million project with 500 construction jobs and yet there's been no cooperation from the parish."
The general contractor for the project, Verwater BV, based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, "is one of the best in the world," Sciacchetano said.

Premier snubs highway inspection invite
The New South Wales Premier is under renewed pressure to tour the Pacific Highway between Coffs Harbour and Ballina.
The Clarence Valley Mayor, Richie Williamson, says he is disappointed Kristina Keneally turned down an invitation to inspect the road.
He says another crash on the Pacific Highway north of Ulmarra yesterday is further evidence of the need for immediate attention and funding.
Councillor Williamson says the road is a national disgrace.
"The mayors of Coffs Harbour, myself, Clarence, Richmond and Ballina remain disappointed that the Premier hasn't been able to find time in obviously what is her very busy diary to come and inspect the section of road which has seen another horrible accident," he said.
"We're certainly hopeful that she may rethink [that] and come and see exactly what the mayors are talking about."
Cr Williamson says yesterday's crash at Ulmarra is further evidence of the need for action.
"We didn't take the decision lightly to invite the Premier and the Leader of the Opposition," he said.
"We firmly believe that it remains literally a matter of life and death.
"We remain disappointed that she hasn't been able to commit to come and witness what we believe is a national disgrace.
The 28-year-old Melbourne man injured in yesterday's crash remains in a critical condition in a Newcastle hospital.

I've been working on this on and off for about a year, and have started from scratch several times. It wasn't really going anywhere, but then I found CopyProg. (Thanks, Xeda.) Planning of the interface and structure is proceeding nicely now, and if all goes well, I can begin development in a couple of weeks. I' ll make sure to keep you updated with screenshots and prerelease versions. I will gladly take questions and suggestions, and I may ask a few questions of my own.

Hi, I'm glad you are finding CopyProg useful! I started something called LSDOS a while back that had some neat features. For example, you could preview the contents of a program, even if it was archived which helps the user figure out what exactly the program contains. Also, I had made plans to include "LSDOS programs" which basically have a special header that tells LSDOS to open up specific routines before executing the program. For example:
::While 0
And then it would automatically load subprograms to RAM. Good luck on your project, I hope it turns out really cool!
47%? Take a look and try to imagine how cool 100% will be. This has won zContest 2011 and made news on TICalc. This compromise between Assembly and BASIC parses like BASIC and is fast like assembly. Grammer 2

When your Chevrolet C1500 was born, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes long-lasting quality in their automobile.

Make no mistake, you bought your C1500 because you understood you would be getting horsepower and good looks both rolled up into one vehicle. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck.
If you can't control your car or truck, then you are bound to get into an accident. Since the 1970s, the same anti-lock brakes found on your Chevrolet C1500 are responsible for eliminating the potential to skid out of control. The Chevrolet C1500 ABS wheel speed sensors you see at each wheel meter the speed that you are traveling, and the ABS module detects when two sensors report different velocities. It responds to the signal from your ABS speed sensor by intermittently applying the brakes at different calipers to stabilize your moving vehicle.
Don't let a broken ABS Wheel Speed Sensor bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best replacement parts. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Procuring new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement C1500 parts on the internet.

How to Turn soap into a flaring flame
Okay, you have some glycerine soap just laying around the house, what do you want to do with it? Well, you could watch this tutorial to see how to create a thermite reaction with the glycerine soap. You'll also need some potassium permanganate to add to the core of the soap. The exothermic reaction makes the soap flare up into flames. Not for kids. Be safe.

VIDEO: Familiar face at the helm of Palm Beach Motor YachtsPosted on
One of the most successful contemporary sailors will be walking the docks this week at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, but hell be there to showcase his powerboats as a well-respected boatbuilder.
Mark Richards traditional-looking, Down East-style yachts the Palm Beach 55 Flybridge and the new Palm Beach 45 will be display at the Bahia Mar/ Hall of Fame/Las Olas Marina Show B Dock 228,230.
Richards founded Palm Beach Motor Yachts in 1997 and designed his first powerboat in 1999 the Palm Beach 38. Richards, 46, skippers the six-time Sydney-Hobart race-winning Wild Oats XI.
He has competed in two Americas Cups and in 1995 he was on One Australia, the boat that broke in two and sank. You're pushing the envelope from an engineering standpoint, he said. Its still recognized as one of those crazy things that happened during the Americas Cup.
His business philosophy: I try to keep the building of yachts as simple as possible. We dont need the sophistication and high-tech level that is necessary with racing boats, such as the boats that I sail.
Click play for a look at Richards and Palm Beach Motor Yachts.
Richards started building powerboats in his late teens. I have a passion for it, he said. Its in the genes, mate.
Palm Beach Motor Yachts, which employs about 65 workers, won Best New Powerboat at the Newport (R.I.) International Boat Show two consecutive years for its PB 50 and PB 55.
Richards said he owes his success to his parents. He was adopted as an infant and raised in the Palm Beach area of Australia (Pittwater), where he began sailing at 6 years old (at a school that taught sailing and powerboat operation).
Richards said FLIBS has a certain aura to it. It has a great reputation, he said. Its one of the boat shows you have to be at. We have sold boats every year we have gone, so it has been a good thing for us.

What Our Customers are Saying
"Dig Defence is the product our dog rescue has been looking for. In the past, we tried electric fence, as well as burying wire along the fence line.

Dig Defence provides an effective, compassionate way to "dog proof" our entire fence line, to keep even our most determined escape artists safe and secure. Thank you, Dig Defence!"
Sandra Dollar
"The only product I have ever seen or used that actually does what it says. Was well worth the price, and ease of use was just another plus. I would highly recommend this product to anybody that wants to keep your dog from escaping the yard."

Upcycle a 6 Bottle Cardboard Holder
Several months ago my little sister gave me her entire duct tape collection to hold and use as needed. This wasn't just 10 rolls of duct tape; she had over 250 rolls of duct tape! So since then I have been using duct tape to decorate everything that I can.
My husband loves pick 6 craft beers and when he gets them I have always wanted to do somethin with the holder. Well I finally have done something with the holder.
I simply used the duct tape and covered the inside first then the outside of the holder. Using scissors I was able to cut the tape so that it was the size I needed.
My daughter put the holder on her desk and filled it with different supplies.
Another simple project that took little time and money to complete.

DIY Boot Tray
When I remodeled my laundry room (see that post here) I knew I wanted a boot tray of some kind to help keep the floors clean. There is a door in the laundry room that leads outside and that door is most often used by the family to go to the backyard so the floor tends to get dirty (it doesn't help that my husband puts his boots in there that he wears while working with our cattle). There is a shoe cabinet in there that we put all of our shoes in but my husbands boots do not fit in there and I did not want to have to clean the floors every time he had dirty boots. The solution...a boot tray.
I bought this tray and these bags of rocks at Dollar General. The tray was $3 and the rocks were $1 a pack. I only bought 4 bags and once I got home I realized that wasn't enough. Luckily I had a bag of extra rocks at home from a different project.
I laid out the rocks the way I wanted them then picked each one up and put hot glue on it so it would stick to the tray.
After the rocks were glued I put the tray in the laundry room.
As you know, I love easy projects that add to my home. This one was simple and now my husband has a place to put his dirty boots and I don't have to clean the floor in the laundry room everyday anymore.
Another thing I love about this project is that even when my husband puts dirty boots on the tray the rocks pretty much hide the dirt. So when he is wearing his boots and I go to laundry I don't have to see a muddy, dirty tray.

DIY Burlap and Lace Cross
Another easy project here for you. I recently remodeled my laundry room and this piece made it's way onto a shelf above my washer and dryer (see that post here).
First I took an old frame I bought at Goodwill. I painted it white then used sandpaper to distress it so it didn't have that crisp white look but instead had the look of being aged. I used a roll of burlap and a roll of lace to make a cross around the frame. Lastly I pinched the middle and use a string from the burlap to tie it.
This is an incredibly easy and cheap project that adds a neat look to any area you are decorating.

DIY Lint Holder
This DIY project couldn't get any easier. I recently remodeled my laundry room (see that post here) but didn't have room to put in a small garage can, which I only put lint in so I decided to make a lint holder. I was also on a tight budget I didn't have much money for extras. I made this lint holder box for free with stuff I already had around the house.
I used an empty graham cracker box that I cut to the size I wanted it to be. Then I covered the box in duct tape. Lastly I took a 3M strip and cut it down the center and used each piece to hang two decorative clothes pins on the wall to hold the lint holder.
The clothes pins allow me to take the box down and go dump it. You could just mount it to the wall with a 3M strip but then you can't take it down as easy, unless you use the picture hanging strips that work like Velcro.

My most recent find was this brass trough looking thing...I'm sure that's the technical name of it. For $3 how could I say no? I already had some spray paint so all I did was clean it REALLY well and spray painted it.
After I spray painted it I had no idea what I was going to put in it. I thought maybe putting mason jars in it and putting fake flowers in the jars but the jars I already had on hand were just a bit too big to fit inside. Then I thought I could just put seasonal decorations in it that I switched out every month or so but then I decided I didn't need one more dreaded thing to change every season.
Realizing I wasn't having any great ideas just coming to me I decided to look around the house for some inspiration. I looked in one of my storage closets and right when I saw the electric candles I just knew that I was going to put them in the box.
I put them in and it looked perfect but it was missing something filling in the space around them. I didn't know what to use as filler but I was sure something would come to me. It wasn't until a couple days later that I opened a bottle of wine and went to put the cork into the cork holder that I store all my corks in that inspiration struck. I have so many corks (don't judge me...okay you can judge me...I'm drinking a glass of wine as I write this post).
I picked out all of my favorite corks. Like the ones from the wineries I went to while going on the Southern Illinois Wine Trail and the cork from the Dom Perignon that my other half and I enjoyed while being served a 15 course meal by an amazing chef in Cincinnati and even the cork from the bottle of Cristal that we shared in celebration of us moving back to our home state.
The final result was a $3 table box that was filled with memories (yes they are memories including wine...but they are memories all the same).

Laundry Room Remodel for $150
I'm so thrilled to have my laundry room done! When we were looking to buy the house I knew it was going to be a room that needed remodeled but originally I thought I was going to gut it and start from scratch. Unfortunately our budget wouldn't allow that. Originally the budget included gutting the room to get rid of the paneled walls however we decided to really make it a point to pay off $15,000 in student loan debt by the end of the year so that leaves little left in the budget for home improvement. Looks like the kids bathroom will have to wait until next year to be remodeled.
Back to my pretty laundry room. It didn't look very pretty when we bought the house.
The house came with a stackable washer and dryer but we wanted to put the washer and dryer we already owned in there. It takes up more room but it's newer and I prefer not to have them stacked. There was enough room to put a mini refrigerator next to them so we can keep soda and juice boxes in there and not take up room in the main refrigerator. As you can see the laundry room was chaos. No space for baskets or detergent and it just looked sad with the darker olive green paint.
First things first. Take down the awkward cabinet by the door. Not only it it painted the same color as the walls it's also upside down. Why was it installed upside down? I have no clue but it just doesn't fit the space. It's a quality cabinet so my other half was able to put it up in his shop.
Now that the cabinet it off the wall you can see how dark the paneling originally was. The darker olive green paint doesn't look so bad in comparison to the unpainted paneling.
Time to pick a paint color. I had already painted the door turquoise a couple weeks after moving in. I wanted the wall to be a similar color but I didn't have any door paint left and my budget was minimal so I found this paint at Walmart for $16 and it matched the curtain I made for the laundry room and was close enough of a match to the door. I wanted the laundry room to be bright and cheery. This color did the trick and let's not mention that the rest of my house it pretty much decorated turquoise in every room.
First I painted the trim white. Why didn't I take a picture of the trim painted white? Ugh. I guess I can just blame that on me being so excited to just get painting out of the way because I do not like to paint.
After a night of the trim paint drying I taped off the trim and started the process of painting the walls.
I love this little trick I use when painting. I put down Press'n Seal so that any little paint splatters don't get on the ground. I didn't feel like covering the ground with plastic and the ground is concrete anyways so clean up of paint would have been simple. Luckily the Press'n Seal caught all the drips so I didn't have any paint to clean up.
Now that the walls and trim are paint we can move the washer and dryer over and start building the laundry basket holder.
My other half built the laundry basket holder in his shop then took it apart so I could paint it.
Two days of painting the pieces and it was time to assemble the laundry basket holder in the laundry room.
When I painted the holder in the shop I didn't paint the edges. I painted them once it was rebuilt in the laundry room.
I purchased this collapsible hanger holder. It is small and pops out so that I can hang laundry to dry.
I hung up the hooks that where already in the laundry room when we bought the house.
I used an old piece of wood we found in the shed that was left from the previous owner of the house. We used brackets and put it above the washer and dryer. We decorated the shelf with things we already had around the house.
Let's not forget about the sign I made that says "Laundry Sucks".
The result of this remodel is just awesome! Here's the breakdown of the cost to remodel.
$35 - the painters tape, paint tray and 2 gallons of paint (blue and white from Walmart)
$3 - pack of hooks
$14 - piece of thin wood for the back of the laundry basket holder
$95 - MDF for the laundry basket holder, trim for the corner of the room where the cabinet was, and brackets for the shelf
Total: $147
Overall, this remodel took us about a week to compete because we took our sweet time to finish it. e were not in a hurry to get it done so we made sure to really let the paint dry for a couple days on the walls and laundry basket holder.
This remodel will work for the next couple years until we decide to gut the whole area and put up drywall instead of paneling but for only $150 this laundry room "facelift" will work just fine until then.

Does anyone else notice that a lot of the "how to dress manly" posts seem to really show what a city boy would wear?
I'm not saying that it's wrong, but it's not "manly" to wear a $160 plaid shirt. That's just plain dumb.
Being manly isn't the cost of your clothing, watch, shoes, etc... It's how you wear it, and what you wear it for. I'm a welder, I don't wear expensive clothes or make sure my hair is perfect every day (long hair and longer beard, wouldn't be easy anyway) but I still consider what I wear to work to be "manly" in some of the strongest senses of the term.
To everyone, a "man" is not always clean cut, fresh pressed, white collar, and high dollar. Personally, I don't enjoy when posts tell me to look like some banker off Mad Men. I like my long hair, I like my rough beard, and I'll be damned if someone tells me that it ain't manly to have either. Just the same as when I wear my dirty wranglers and faded work shirts every day.
My point is, many of the articles I read on here are telling people how to dress and act like a yuppie.
Sometimes being a man means being uncut, dirty, and rugged. I wish more articles showed this type of man...
Views: 1843
Perhaps the bias in the discussions stems from the fact that, when doing physical work in "dirty Wranglers," color matching and style cues are not particularly necessary or even desirable.
Let's face it. Every guy knows how to dress when changing his car's oil, or cutting down a tree. But, dressing up is no longer a skill taught to boys during their formative years. And people ask questions about the stuff they don't already know.
You'll notice in my posts I don't focus on the foppish excesses that some do. I know the rules of etiquette for pocket watches, fabrics, understand color analyses, and I regularly snort with derision when someone commits a fashion faux pas like wearing a wristwatch with french cuffs. But that's not everyday life for most of us.
Heck. 3/4 of my wardrobe came from WalMart and Wrangler. That's *real* life.
P.S. Though they often are, a big beard does not have to be unkempt or rough looking. Mine is getting pretty big, now, and still looks impeccable.
I noticed pretty much the same narrow band of dress being discussed.
There was surprisingly little Western wear/ outdoors wear on one end or tuxedos on the other. I do not dress up often and could stand some information on formal wear just as much as I would like new sources for tough, cheap outdoors clothes.
This pretty much sums up what I was trying to say in less words.
Good point. It may be that most of the people here are Urban minded. Or have that style mindset. Personally I like dressing well and my style choice tends toward a particular style of dress. I don't thing you can't dress well in a different style.
My general rule is fitted and collared and tucked in. but then again that is MY view.
I'm not sure what posts you have in mind; the site hasn't seemed especially foppish to me of late. Certainly I don't think we've seen many (if any) arguments that a man is "always clean cut, fresh pressed, white collar, and high dollar," or that being manly is "the cost of your clothing, watch, shoes, etc..."
As for the prevalence of questions and discussion about dressing up, I think Chuck nailed it. "Let's face it. Every guy knows how to dress when changing his car's oil, or cutting down a tree. But, dressing up is no longer a skill taught to boys during their formative years. And people ask questions about the stuff they don't already know."
The dressing and grooming articles about suits, sport coats, etc... are mostly how-to guides for men who need or want to wear those cloths but don't know how, or how to do so well. And most of the threads begin as questions (i.e. what should I wear on a first date? I want to dress better in high school/college/my office without looking too weird, what should I do? What kind of tux should I wear to prom? How should I dress for my friend's wedding? What should I wear for a job interview? Where can I buy good shoes?). Nor are these all city-boy question, since even country boys doing dirty jobs dress up at times, even if it's just for prom, weddings, and funerals.
As for articles with men bring rugged, I think there are plenty, but they don't focus on the clothing worn while men are camping, or changing a flat tire (which I once did have to do while dressed up after a wedding) or grilling something, etc...
I see your point here, but it doesn't hit what I'm trying to say in some cases. I understand the prom/office/wedding/shoes. The reality of it for me is, if it wasn't prom, a wedding, or a funeral, it's boots and jeans man. Manly to a lot of people isn't khaki pants and "going sockless in the summer." The only thing that might change from my field clothes to say a first date would be the cleanliness of the clothes I'm wearing. I was just reading through and the articles that came up really made me say "huh, that's what a man is these days... it's a shame"
Looking at the links you cited I can see your point a little better. Those posts are, however, not typical, and the forums really don't see much of that "wear this specific expensive piece of clothing" approach. You can either ignore the dressing and grooming articles and forum threads, or, if you go through more, I think you'll see more balance.
So, it's your position that the clothes make the man, and not the other way around. It's funny, because I believe the opposite.
So much of your personal presentation is how you present yourself to others...and that includes the clothes, yes. There *is* such a thing as appropriate style, and usually it's more a representation of respect for a venue more than anything else, but fundamentally they're just guidelines at best. I've known people who look "runway model" fabulous in a tee shirt and ripped jeans, and people who look so awkward in a suit that it's pathetic.
In my mind, it's the man behind the clothes that *really* matters.
I like people who are secure in themselves. Leaders, or alphas if you prefer that terminology. Leaders rarely adhere to the "rules" of style...they follow, break, or even set those trends, according to their OWN will.
And, they're the ones who, invariably, make a powerful impression.
You do make a good point about $$$ does not equal dress manly, nor must you be looking like a yuppy. But you do need to show you have a style.
I can see your point. The only thing I can say to that is if you wear clothing that fits, be it jeans and a "cheap" plaid shirt then you shows that you are know enough about who you are to dress your best according to your style.
I just wanted to include a few of the articles I had been talking about. Needless to say I don't agree with the hot shave/barbershop attitude the articles I see ALL THE TIME support, but my biggest part of posting this discussion were the following few links. I'd love to see an "Outfitted and Equipped" say for "First date on the Lake" fishing of course, or "Going dancing in Tulsa." Mostly I'd like to see someone dress like they aren't in a fashion magazine, but a regular Joe.
My biggest problem with this one is, the "Leave this long haired country boy alone" comb, is only $0.01 on the website, but is not for individual sale. It comes free with any purchase on the site, which is insanely expensive.
Your real situation is that you haven't learned to ignore the obvious advertisements that appear on the home page of AoM. That's what you've linked to. Ads disguised as editorial content. It's the online equivalent of the "Style" section in a print newspaper.
Yeah, I'll agree there is a healthy-sized (and "vocal") AoM cadre who are obsessed with the nuances of straight and/or safety razor shaving, and there are some groups who are also very much into dressing well in the "city boy" style.
The big deal is that you can wear a white collar shirt, suit, and dess shoes OR a t-shirt, jeans, and boots and still be either a well-dressed man or a sloppy mess.

By ROBERT PEAR
Published: July 29, 1992
Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, which provides health insurance to 8.6 million subscribers in New York, said yesterday that its financial condition had deteriorated sharply in the last 18 months and warned that its reserves would run out by the end of the year unless it received another rate increase.
The company has long had financial difficulties, but yesterday it disclosed details of the severity of its problems.
Its request for a new rate increase, made to the state insurance superintendent, drew an immediate angry reaction in Albany, where legislators had spent much of the last session debating how best to shore up the system. 'Breach of Faith'
Although Empire had said it would seek a rate increase this year, many legislators had assumed they had eliminated the possibility of some consumers facing higher premiums in an election year when they passed a comprehensive bill to overhaul health insurance in New York earlier this month.
"The Legislature acted in good faith that the bill would settle the rate question for 1992," said James R. Tallon Jr., a Democrat who serves as majority leader of the state Assembly.
Empire officials argued for a new increase of 12.4 percent for some of their customers in a letter to the Insurance Superintendent, Salvatore R. Curiale, asserting that they faced an increasingly bleak financial future. Mr. Curiale said he would not grant any further increase this year, adding that it would be "a breach of faith with the Legislature and the public." Largest in the Nation
Mr. Curiale has sole authority to approve or disapprove any request for a rate increase. He has repeatedly insisted that he would not grant any increase this year, but it is unclear how much pressure he may feel between now and the end of the year to reconsider.
The company's pessimistic assessment was supported by outside experts, who said they saw no reason to believe that Empire was overstating the problems to justify a rate increase. Weiss Research Inc., an insurance rating agency in West Palm Beach, Fla., recently gave Empire a grade of D-plus, on a scale of A to E, indicating that its financial condition was weak.
Empire is the nation's largest Blue Cross and Blue Shield plan. The rate increase would affect 1.2 million Empire customers who either buy their own insurance or work for companies with fewer than 50 employees.
Kimberly Calder, a spokeswoman for Cancer Care Inc., a social-work agency for cancer patients and their relatives in New York, said the proposed increase would be "extremely burdensome," especially for people with chronic illnesses. "We already have patients spending more on health insurance premiums than on rent," she said.
The charge for major medical insurance covering doctor and hospital bills under a typical contract is now $4,777 a year for a family and $2,230 a year for an individual, said Michael Blumenfeld, a vice president of Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
Empire is demanding that its requested rate increase of 12.4 percent take effect in October. And it says it needs an additional increase of 21 percent in April 1993. Premiums for those same customers were increased by 14.2 percent in April of this year. If the two proposed increases were approved, in addition to the increase in April of this year, premiums for affected customers would rise by a total of 55 percent over the course of one year.
Albert A. Cardone, chairman of Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, said Empire's financial problems resulted from the state's failure to grant adequate rate increases and from the "discriminatory underwriting practices" of commercial insurance companies. He complained that commercial insurers chose young healthy customers and left those with costly medical problems to Blue Cross and Blue Shield -- a practice known as cherry-picking.
The legislation passed earlier this month was intended to eliminate cherry-picking and to shore up Empire and other Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, enabling them to compete more effectively against commercial insurers.
But Empire now says that solving its financial problems for this year was contingent on the bill's taking effect Oct. 1. Because the new law will not take effect until April 1, the company said, Empire will continue to lose money unless it receives all of the rate increase it previously sought, and more. Many Blues in Trouble
Mr. Curiale said Empire could avoid depleting its reserves by "using ingenuity to prevent that from happening." But he said he had no specific proposals.
At least 15 of the 73 Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans around the country have financial problems and are being closely monitored by the national Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. The United States Senate has begun hearings to investigate the finances and management of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, including one in West Virginia that was declared insolvent in 1990.
In an interview and in his letter to the New York Insurance Department, Mr. Cardone said Empire's reserves fell from $294.5 million at the end of December 1990 to $144.5 million at the end of December 1991, then dropped to $81.6 million at the end of May 1992, the last month for which figures are available.
Under standards set by state law, Mr. Cardone said, Empire should have reserves of $492 million. 'Risk to Our Customers'
"Our corporation is currently in serious financial difficulty and not in compliance with insurance law requirements concerning reserves for the protection of our customers," Mr. Cardone said in his July 22 letter to Mr. Curiale.
Empire says that, in the absence of a rate increase, its reserves will be depleted and its liabilities will exceed its assets by $40 million at the end of this year.
The lack of reserves does not mean the company is insolvent, but it does pose a "risk to our customers" because it shows Empire does not have the financial cushion deemed essential by state regulators, Mr. Cardone said.
Moreover, Mr. Cardone said, the national association may revoke Empire's license to use the Blue Cross and Blue Shield logo and name if the plan has no reserves.
"Loss of our license would, as a practical matter, destroy the corporation and cause havoc in the marketplace because so many of our customers rely on the security of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield names," Mr. Cardone wrote.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans are chartered as nonprofit corporations. They differ from other insurers because they cannot refuse any applicant and because any cash surplus remaining after payment of claims and expenses must be set aside in reserves to help pay future claims.
Under the legislation passed in Albany earlier this month, if commercial insurers sell insurance to small groups and individuals, they will have to offer coverage to all who apply, regardless of age, sex, health status or occupation, and each company will have to charge uniform rates to customers buying a particular product. Empire has followed those practices -- open enrollment and "community rating" -- for decades.
Mr. Cardone said Empire had yet to see any benefits from the new legislation. Indeed, he said: "The practice of cherry-picking seems to have intensified."
Donald B. White, a spokesman for the Health Insurance Association of America, which represents 300 commercial insurers, denied that they were to blame for Empire's problems. The problems, he said, result from Empire's "chronic management inefficiency."
