Have you tried to knot a tie, only to end up with a horrible tangled tie? Starting with these instructions, a sharp-looking tie, a mirror and some patience, you can become an expert in tying a fabulous tie. Because there are several different ways to tie a tie, we've listed several methods, starting with the easiest tie to tie. Stand in front of the mirror. Your collar should be up, your shirt buttoned all the way to the top, and the tie around your neck. The wide end of the tie should be on the side of your dominant hand. So if you're right-handed, the wider end should be hanging on your right side. If you're left-handed, the wider end should be hanging on your left side. Look for a seam on the front of the narrow end of the tie. Move the wide end over the narrow end so they cross each other on the seam. Pull the wide end behind the narrow end. Bring the wide end around. It should be facing off to your left. Bring the wide end under the narrow end again. Pull the wide end of the tie under the loop around your neck. Pull the wide end down through the knot at the front of the tie. Tighten the knot by sliding it up the narrow end. Make sure your tie is straight and the length is appropriate. The four-in-hand knot is a little asymmetrical at the neck. Don't worry about this; it is normal. Many men with shorter necks prefer the four-in-hand, because the knot at top is very narrow and has a slimming effect on the rest of the neck. Choose the Half Windsor as an alternative to the Four-in-Hand method of tying a tie. The knot is bigger, resembles a triangle, and is considered to be more distinguished than the four-in-hand (but not as distinguished as the full Windsor). Most men tend to prefer the half Windsor because it isn't as bulky to wear. Place the tie around your neck with the wide side on the right side of your body. Adjust the tie so that the length of the wide side is about three times the length of the narrow side. You may need to experiment with this step to achieve the right length for the sides of the ties. Some people prefer having the wide side about 12 inches below the narrow side. Cross the wide side of the tie over the narrow side. Bring the wide side around and under the narrow side. Take the wide side over the loop around the neck. Tighten a bit. Bring the wide side over the narrow side, out front, moving from right to left. Slide the wide side up through the loop around your neck. Bring the wide side through the knot in the front. Tighten a bit and shape the knot into a triangle shape. You want your knot to look a bit wider than the Four-in-Hand knot. Tighten the tie around your collar by pulling on the narrow side of the tie (which should now be hidden underneath the wide side of the tie). If your tie has a loop underneath the wide side of the tie, you may slide the narrow side through that loop to prevent it from "peeking" from behind the wide side of the tie. Choose the traditional Windsor knot as a more formal alternative to the Half Windsor. The Duke of Windsor started the trend for this knot back in the 1930s. It has remained popular to this day because it projects a statement that suggests the wearer is elegant and has confidence. It's more dignified than the Four-in-Hand knot, but a little harder to tie. This knot should be worn with a spread collar. Put the tie around your neck. One end should be considerably wider than the other. Make sure the wider end is on the right, and about a foot (30cm) lower than the thinner side on the left. Cross the wide end over the narrow end. Bring your tie up through the loop. Bring your tie back down. The wide end should be resting to the left of the narrow end. Pull the wide end underneath the narrow end and to the right. Pull the wide end through the loop, this time on the right side. The wide end should now be inside out. Cross the wide end over the thin end again, from right to left. Bring the wide end under the loop. Fold the wide end through the loop and into the knot at the front of the tie. Tighten the knot into a triangle using both hands. Slowly tighten the narrow end to bring the tie closer to the neck. For a more modern, fashionable and casual look, make the knot a good few inches or centimeters down below the collar. For all formal occasions, however, keep the knot at the traditional distance away from the collar. For the Pratt knot, start with the tie inside out. The wide end of the tie should be hanging on the right, and the narrow end on the left. Cross the wide end under the narrow end. Bring the wide end over the loop around the neck. Pull the wide end under to complete the loop around the neck. Tighten. Bring the wide end over the narrow end, from left to right. Pull the wide end up through the loop. Bring the wide end down all the way through the knot in the front. Shape the knot into a triangle shape and pull on the narrow end to fasten the tie along the collar. Try exploring with different sizes to get the hang of it. Look in a mirror while doing this. In general, the wide end of the tie should hang twice as low as the narrow end. To make a dimple, hold the top blade on both edges and then pull it down gently until the top blade starts to tighten. A slight convex should appear close to the knot. Use your thumb and forefinger to press the bottom of the knot into a V-shape and the convex will deepen to form the dimple. There are different types of knots you can tie, some of which are more appropriate to formal occasions (like the Windsor knot), while others are casual. Make a mnemonic device to help you remember, such as the word Ouat, which is an acronym for over, under, around and through.

I'll keep this brief.

Some guy who has no business jumping in the affairs of others did just that: jumped in the business affairs of others. For namesake purposes I'll just call this guy "Bill". Some many cry "FOUL!" but I don't see the actual point of having to actually point out his actual name. Actual points in discussions like this usually turn into debate rhetorical ploys of "scoring points". To 'one up' someone in debate but in truth having very little of substance to say. So I'm going to do my best to steer clear of both 'point scoring' as well as pointing out 'actual points' with the intention of winning over someone who may not even be sympathetic with this "Bill". So we have Bill, as stated, bring his business to the business of others who are none to interested in having their affairs meddled with. We say "business affairs" but to be honest we all know they're "personal affairs". I truly believe we say "business affairs" when refering to another's 'doings' simply to allow ourselves a pass to jump into those affairs. There is clearly less stigma in saying "I'm jumping in his 'business affairs'" opposed to saying "I'm jumping into his personal affairs". Business affairs denotes something that has a broader scope than just personal matters. That 'broader scope' may very well expand its way into your doings. Or so you hope that others conceive that possibility when you say "business affairs". If you were to say "personal affairs" then everyone would know that you're stepping well out of your range of responsibility and into an area that you really have no right to stick your nose into. That's the point. You're ultimately sticking your nose into affairs of others. Business, personal? What does it even matter? In doing that you're going to have some effect. This isn't new news...They got this guy, in Germany. Fritz Something-or-other. Or is it? Maybe it's Werner. Anyway, he's got this theory, you wanna test something, you know, scientifically - how the planets go round the sun, what sunspots are made of, why the water comes out of the tap - well, you gotta look at it. But sometimes you look at it, your looking changes it. Ya can't know the reality of what happened, or what would've happened if you hadn't-a stuck in your own goddamn schnozz. So there is no "what happened"? Not in any sense that we can grasp, with our puny minds. Because our minds... our minds get in the way. Looking at something changes it. They call it the "Uncertainty Principle". Sure, it sounds screwy, but even Einstein said the guy was on to something. And wasn't he? It isn't just the affairs of "joe down the street" we're talking about. in anything that you meddle with you're going to have some impact. Maybe those affairs of personal. Maybe they're business. Maybe it's the motion of a rock rolling down a hill. But you poke and prod this simply by viewing it and you're having an impact on it. Truth be told, this isn't even a theory. It just simply happens. It's called "uncertainty" but with great certainty you CAN know that you're going to have an effect. You can't claim ignorance. You see X and you want to input Y (yourself - Y - get it?) and it's by virtue of the way things are and what they are that in doing that things change, for better or ill. Bill felt it necessary to do just that. And he did "just that" to a person who meant something to him. Probably the one person that would ever mean to him what she meant to him. Listen, a person decides to act this way and you try to cajole them to act that way. But why? He really thought it necessary to inject himself into her situation as if there was already a perfect fit for him. Or as if he would find some perfect fit by being fluid enough to form himself around her particularities (not literally, but figurative). Like life is tantamount to aluminum injection molds. You just hope and pray that the sand borders are nuanced enough to allow the totality of you (the aluminum) to fill all of the spaces and gaps so much so but not so much greater than to allow yourself to spill over the top. To have her life become subsumed in you so that in your dealings with her she is now more you and herself. Laugh, but it can and does happen. In making their (or her) business yours you do run the risk of turning the other into you. Of making yourself such a presence that there is no division between what she was and what you are. It's not so much that she actually does become you. But, by your interactions and estimates you are really only paying attention to the "you of her" not the "her of her". You're listening to and hearing what you want to hear but in reality all that amounts to is you listening to yourself. Because that's all you ever wanted to hear. You live alittle, make the mistakes that you make, live alittle more. Realize what your boundaries are. Break down those boundaries for a noble reason but then you don't learn when to pull back. You make your presence known that much more, knock down more boundaries. Run your life like you are an injection mold plant, pouring your 'aluminum' here and there. Losing the inherent caution of not 'pouring over the top'. You dive in headlong with little forethought... headlong and brazen, but you never had any intentions of not doing that. It wasn't so much a declared sentiment but simply the effect of you being you and not being truly interested in the other. You're running around acting like things aren't bad. But you know they're bad. But you're acting like that so as to drown out the reality of it. You actually do know that because of acting this way things are really bad. I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
