<p>Are you a fan of <strong>The Walking Dead</strong>? If so, you are going to be glad to know that there is a <strong><a title="The walking dead social game" href="http://thewalkingdeadsocialgame.com">The Walking Dead Social Game</a> </strong>coming to Facebook in April. Rick, Lori, Shane and company will be part of the game, and you are going to help them to kill some walkers. There is not much information on how are we going to interact with the characters but it´s for sure that we´ll be shooting a lot!. In the picture above we can see Shane being followed by five walkers, and we presume  that we´ll have to do the same, escape and shoot every walker we see.</p>

<p>The only drawback, this shearling jacket is really warm, and so we  suggest you only wear this when it&#8217;s really cold weather out there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mens Suit Styles</strong> are  not all that complicated.  The main thing you really need to know is  that there are four main styles.  Everything else is just a hodgepodge  of the 4 mixed up so you can&#8217;t tell.  We have American suits,English suits, Mandarin suits, and the Italian suit.<br />
<a href="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/gucci-suit.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-701" title="gucci-suit" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/gucci-suit.jpg" alt="italian suit" width="360" height="480" /></a><br />
The Italian style is a double breasted suit and is usually a good choice for very tall men.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-703" title="british-suit" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/british-suit.jpg" alt="british suit" width="571" height="538" /><br />
The British style is single breasted and gives off a more regal look than its counterparts.<br />
<a href="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/american-suit.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-702" title="american-suit" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/american-suit.jpg" alt="american suit" width="300" height="452" /></a><br />
The American style is the most relaxed of the four and gives off a younger image.</p>
<p>The Mandarin suit is the most unique of the four as it is influenced by more traditional eastern cultures.</p>
<p>Which style you choose is really a matter of preference.  One has to  consider his body type, personal style, and where he plans to wear the  suit.</p>
<p>Click through to the various styles to get a more in-depth look at what these suits are about.</p>
<p>Knowing what you are looking for will put you in a better buying  position and reduce the feeling of helplessness that many people get  when spending large amounts of money on something they really know almost nothing about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tie-keyboard.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-696" title="tie-keyboard" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tie-keyboard.jpg" alt="tie keyboard" width="454" height="349" /></a></p>
<p>Some of the strangest ties ever lurk at what are variably called op  shops, secondhand or thrift stores, and at other bargain shopping  outlets. These novelty ties grace store shelves otherwise cluttered with  &#8217;70&#8242;s-era porcelain, vinyl records, and carefully-disposed-of wedding  gifts. Novelty neckties rarely have a defined place in this world-but  that is why they are so fun. You see, when I talk about the strangest  tie ever, I&#8217;m not talking about ties designed for sports teams or ties  carrying cartoon characters. Strange ties are made of strange materials  with patterns that not even a mother could love. I&#8217;m serious about that.  It doesn&#8217;t matter how blind or fashion-unconscious she is, no mother  could love these ties. But it doesn&#8217;t matter. Somebody is still  manufacturing off-the-wall ties.</p>
<p>In any group of people who have to wear ties for any  consistent length of time, strange neckties are bound to emerge.  Businesses, law firms, ecclesiastical organizations, salespeople, and  others wear ties, sometimes without uniformity. Whenever neckwear  requirements are relaxed and wardrobes open, interesting ties start to  emerge. First comes the Grinch tie at Christmas, or the jack-o-lantern  tie at Halloween. These are innocent. I want to tell you about three  qualities that make for the strangest tie ever and then tell you about  the day I saw them all coincide.</p>
<p><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://www.sherpatrek.com/adserver/www/delivery/ck.php?n=c657201'><img border='0' alt='' src='http://www.sherpatrek.com/adserver/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=6&amp;n=c657201' /></a></noscript></p>
<p><a href="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tie-pong.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-695" title="tie-pong" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/tie-pong.jpg" alt="tie pong" width="168" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Strange materials make for strange ties. Ties are  normally made of silk or polyester, occasionally of rayon or wool. Even  ties made of wool are starting to push the envelope of strangeness. When  you want to find a guaranteed-to-be-strange tie, there are a few  cardinal materials. Nylon ties leap to mind. It&#8217;s for parachutes and  track pants. Nylon ties set the stage for a whole host of oddness. I&#8217;ve  mentioned wool, but cotton is another strange material. It&#8217;s a perfectly  normal fabric on its own, but making a tie out of cotton seems akin to  making a kimono out of seaweed. The two just don&#8217;t jive. Leather, duct  tape, and wood are also included in strange materials used in tie  construction.</p>
<p>When weirdness emerges in color schemes, ties get  even stranger. Some ties can be pink and green and pull it off quite  well . . . and then there are those ties that throw orange and beige  into the mix and suddenly upset all but the most modern of artists. Even  a two-year-old will tell you that some colors just aren&#8217;t pretty  together, no matter the finger-painting expertise. Perfectly normal  colors can make for strange ties too, if the colors aren&#8217;t those that  you would normally find on a tie. Green and blue look nice when the tie  is silk or polished polyester, because they share a bit of a sheen. Dull  the tie in any way and the strangeness factor starts to grow.</p>
<p>The third quality of strangeness is pattern. Believe  it or not, beach scenes, skiing motifs, and bookcases-some of the  exciting patterns that I have seen-don&#8217;t quite qualify as being  &#8220;strange.&#8221; When I say strange, I mean irrational-and since I can&#8217;t paint  this picture for the pattern with words alone, I&#8217;ll rope the other two  qualities in. Here it is: the strangest tie I have ever seen.</p>
<p>It was cotton. It was &#8217;70&#8242;s-era cotton, too, which  meant that it felt like a dishrag. It was black, yellow, orange, and  red. None of these were muted at all. They were matte because they were  cotton. They were bright (even the black looked bright). Perhaps a  pattern could have saved it-exciting stripes, or an autumn leaf design  (I thought that it was autumn leaves at first), or even a Halloween sort  of scene that would have gotten it pegged as merely quirky and not  wholly strange. But there was no salvation. This tie looked like  stripes, blotches, and jagged-edged blobs had gotten into a breakdancing  blender. It was hideous! For all I know, children and old women  probably cried whenever it passed. With a tie so strange, I knew of only  one course of action.</p>
<p>No, I didn&#8217;t wear it. I donated it to a thrift store and I did it right quick, too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Men-Sports-Pants.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-691" title="Men-Sports-Pants" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Men-Sports-Pants.jpg" alt="men sports pants" width="484" height="401" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>Pant bottoms should hit your shoes and &#8220;break&#8221;  once. This means that they should crease slightly (due to their manly  length) once before terminating on top of your lovely shoe.</li>
<li>You should never be able to see your socks  peeking out of your pant leg when standing.  If you can, your pants are  too short and you&#8217;ve got those &#8220;flood waters&#8221; you were teased about in  grade school.</li>
<li>Your pants should look good on you. Look in a mirror .  Try to find a 3-way mirror  and check yourself from a few angles.</li>
<li>When buying pants, check for comfort.   Sit in them. Walk in them. Still feel good?  Good.</li>
<li>If they are too long, take them to a tailor.</li>
<li>Make sure pants coordinate with the clothes already hanging in your closet. Your pants should work with your belts , shoes ,  and shirts .</li>
<li>How do you want to keep your pants up? You can have suspenders  or you can have a belt. You cannot have both.</li>
<li>Your shoes and belt should complement your pants. Black  goes with everything except navy  (denim  isn&#8217;t navy) and brown . Brown  goes with brown , khaki ,  and navy .</li>
<li>Your socks should be in the color scheme of your pants, not your shoes.</li>
<li>Cuffs  are a mature and polished look.  Cuff length should never exceed an inch and a half.</li>
<li>Straight legs  always look good and flatter the most heights and builds. Skinny guys can get away with tapered legs . Flared pants  only work on jeans&#8211;and only on tall guys. Baggy pants  are rarely a good idea unless you have your own rap label.</li>
<li>Are you happy in them? That counts.  Is your girlfriend or boyfriend happy when you wear them?  That counts too.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most men&#8217;s pants are sized with two numbers: <strong>waist</strong> and <strong>inseam</strong> measurement, in that order.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-686" title="pants2" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/pants2.jpg" alt="pants" width="393" height="393" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Measure your <strong>waist</strong> by wrapping a tape measure around your torso wherever you want your  pants to fall. Keep a finger or two between the tape measure and you, so  that you have a bit of breathing room and space to tuck your shirt in.
<ul>
<li>If you&#8217;re going the classic and respectable  route, measure at your proper waist, where your body creases when you  lean to the side. <strong>Tip: find your belly button. That&#8217;s your waist level.</strong></li>
<li>Younger and trendier men often wear their pants  lower, along their hips. This is a riskier way to go, as you may show  off parts of yourself intended for private use, but if it&#8217;s really where  you want your pants to fall, use that measurement.</li>
<li>A smart man will never leave his gut hanging  out over his pants. Don&#8217;t give in to pride and insist that you wear the  same size jean you wore in college&#8211;<strong>let go of your delusions and buy pants that fit.</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Measure your <strong>inseam</strong> by taking a  tape measure up your leg (or letting someone else do it) and running it  to where you want the crotch of your pants to lie. That height is your  inseam. Make sure to measure along your leg and directly perpendicular  to the floor on up.
<ul>
<li>If you&#8217;re squeamish or wimpy about being  measured, take the pair of pants that fit you best and measure the  inseam (and waist) there. It&#8217;s just the seam that runs on the inside of  the leg.</li>
<li>Better to purchase pants that are a little too  long, rather than a little too short. A tailor can shorten anything, but  said tailor can make very few things longer.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>You should end up with dimensions, in inches, that look something like 30&#215;32.  That is your pant size.</li>
<li>To get fancier, if you want to calculate the <strong>rise</strong> of your pants, it&#8217;s the distance from the crotch to the waist. It will  dictate how high your pants sit. Many pants will come in low- , medium-  and high-rise  options. If your pants are above your waist, that&#8217;s high rise, at your waist is medium and below your waist is low rise.</li>
</ul>
<p>The rare exception of casual pant will be sized S  -M  -L  -XL .   Usually this type of sizing is only used for casual pants like sweatpants  or hiking pants .   If you know your waist and inseam measurement, you should be able to tell which size S-M-L-XL to pick.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/wrinkles-out-ties.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-682" title="wrinkles-out-ties" src="http://www.tieblackshirt.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/wrinkles-out-ties.jpg" alt="wrinkled ties" width="200" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>No matter how careful you are to take good care of your neckties,  some wrinkles are always going to be inevitable. Even the most  wrinkle-resistant fabric can develop folds and creases after being  knotted up and around your neck for a long day. It can be difficult to  remove the most stubborn wrinkles from your neckties, thus there are  some simple steps you can take to keep your ties looking smooth and  sharp, to hopefully prevent those nasty wrinkles from setting in.</p>
<p>If you have wrinkles or creases in your tie, yet they don&#8217;t seem too  horrible, you may want to try the roll-and-store method. Simply put the  two end of the tie together and roll the tie up around your finger. Slip  the tie off, and leave it rolled up overnight. This will help tighten  the fabric and work out minor wrinkles.</p>
<p><noscript><a target='_blank' href='http://www.sherpatrek.com/adserver/www/delivery/ck.php?n=c657201'><img border='0' alt='' src='http://www.sherpatrek.com/adserver/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=6&amp;n=c657201' /></a></noscript></p>
<p>For more serious wrinkles, the best thing for your tie is a little  bit of steam. Try this: hang your necktie up in the bathroom while you  take a nice, hot shower. It may sound kind of simple, but you would not  believe how well the steam that fills the room from a hot show can help  relax the fabric in your tie. The wrinkles seem to simply fall away!  After your shower, let the tie hang there for a while as the steam  dissipates, and, of course, be sure not to handle your tie while you&#8217;re  all wet, as water can damage silk fabrics.</p>
<p>If you are thinking about ironing your tie as you would a shirt or a  pair of pants &#8211; think again! Never simply iron because doing so flattens  the ties&#8217; nicely rolled edges. The best way to iron out wrinkles from a  tie is to hold the iron, set low,  about an inch above the wrinkle. Let  the steam from the iron permeate your tie, and then simply smooth the  creases out with your hand. Also, you may want to purchase a small hand  steamer that is designed to gently steam away the wrinkles that form in  the fabric where the knot is made.</p>
