“What does Western Elegance mean? In its most basic sense, it would be what ranch owners would wear to a party, not what the ranch hands would wear. Men wear their best triple-X beaver hats, a western-cut tuxedo if they’ve got one, a fancy shirt and bolo tie, and their dress boots rather than their work boots. Ladies wear suede and leather, lace and velvet often in western cuts. Fringe, beads, Southwestern jewelry, fancy boots and hats add additional western flair.”

“Also, bras do not ultimately prevent your breasts from sagging. They do that while you’re wearing them, but gravity will eventually take its effect.

“What’s a job application without a résumé? What’s a job posting that doesn’t ask for one? Ask Aaron Strout. He’s vice president of new media at Burlington, Mass.-based Mzinga, a firm that creates social networks and online communities for businesses. He’s looking for a PR director and a social media marketing manager, and these are his rules: 1. No resumes. At least not the kind written in MS Word. 2. If you want to get me your background, do it in the “community way.” Either blog about why we should hire you or get me to your profile on LinkedIn (or your preferred social network.) 3. DON’T e-mail me. If you are a community-centric person, connect with me on Twitter or Facebook—you can DM me on Twitter or email me through Facebook.”

“.” The vogue for human curation reflects the growing frustration Net users have with the limits of algorithms. Unhelpful detritus often clutters search results, thanks to online publishers who have learned how to game the system.

And unless you get your keywords just right, services like Google Alerts spew out either too much relevant content — or not enough.”
