SOME advice is so old, so tried-and-true. So ingrained in our psyches that it is buried; we tend to forget it because it is covered over by other good advice.
One such is to cover our mouths when we yawn, cough, sneeze. Everybody knows what to do, except everybody doesn't know what to do, except everybody doesn't do it.
But winter and cold and flu season comes around like clockwork and we need gentle reminders to keep a tight leash on our germs, lest they infect others.
Do cover your mouth when you sneeze, preferably with a tissue. Archive photo.
To help, some folks at the Texas A&M Health Science Center undertook an experiment using dye to determine the best way to keep as many germs at bay as possible when sneezing. Do watch the video to see graphic illustrations.
Of course the worst, which should go without saying but won't, is to sneeze without covering your mouth. It's gross, it's ill- mannered and inconsiderate and it gives germs carte blanche to travel hither and yon, spreading illness.
The vampire sneeze has its merits and demerits. Archive photo.
Covering your mouth with your hand(s) is markedly better than hands-free but still gives germs to much free reign. Then your hands go on to touch this, that and the other.
Placing your nose and mouth at the crook of your elbow and sneezing into your sleeve, resulting in a Count Dracula-like pose, is significantly better. Alas, germs are now living high on the hog; that is, on your sleeve. But as the experimenters point out, far fewer people will come into contact with your sleeve than with your hand.
At press time, Brooks Brothers Pure Cotton Handkerchiefs (package of seven) are marked down to $26.95 (from $35.) http://www.bit.ly/2iAoaD1
By far the best way to handle the errant germs is to sneeze into a tissue and throw it away immediately.
Do note that a handkerchief can serve the same purpose as a tissue. However, it would have to be folded and stored in a secure location until it can be laundered. In the end, then, the tissue is the best option.

TWO books that launched last month in New York City at Dylan's Candy Bar and Bergdoff Goodman, respectively, with no small amount of fanfare are certain to capture the collective imagination.
One, an illustrated children's book, concerns a little girl who realizes that she and her hair are beautiful. The other, a coffeetable affair, ventures into the spaces of the richer and more famous.
"Curlee Girlee," written by Atara Twersky and illustrated by Karen Wolcott, recounts the adventures of a little girl with curly hair.
Curlee does not like her hair because when it finally grows it is not straight like spaghetti. It doesn't "look like other people's hair at all." It is "swoopy and loopy ... bouncy and flouncy."

Curlee goes to great lengths to straighten her hair, including using a rolling pin. Then, one day she realizes that her hair is unique and beautiful.
Christian Louboutin ties one on. Photo by Coveteur/Jake Rosenberg.
Both a work of empowerment and a love letter, "Curlee Girlee" grew out of the author's experiences with her curly-haired daughter, a member of a family that is mainly of the wavy- and straight-hair variety.
AT, an attorney, observed that her youngest daughter, Ariela (Ari, for short), was having issues with her hair, though the little girl had not verbalized them. To counteract what she believed might morph into a self-esteem problem, she embarked on a mission to ensure that her child, whom she started calling Curlee Girlee, would see the beauty of her mane. Mother wanted daughter to "embrace her curls and not feel the need to conform."
Cindy Crawford is sitting pretty. Photo by Coveteur/Jake Rosenberg.
"Curlee Girlee," which AT has said she hopes will resonate with the reported 1.6 billion curly-haired females in the world, is a book that every person should have and gift/recommend to others. It can help save women in particular a lot of money that would otherwise go on unnecessary hair products, hairstylists and psychologists.
On a much lighter note is the Coveteur: Private Spaces, Personal Style.
The question is whether Christian Louboutin is wearing Christian Louboutins. Meanwhile, Ariana Huffington is in possession of some kicka_ _ slingbacks. Ah, here is Cindy Crawford in a chill-out moment. And a shelf in Amar'e Stoudemire’s house is laden with treasures.

The first book from the luxury brand,Coveteur, is a photo diary of ... well ... the personal style and/or spaces of some folk more well-known and better financially situated than you, you, you and you.
Lots of eye candy.

Viola Davis and Denzel Washington reprise their Tony-winning roles as Rose and Troy Maxson in the film adaptation of "Fences." Photos courtesy of Paramount Pictures.
BY VW
NEAR the beginning of "Fences," Troy (star, director and producer Denzel Washington) delivers a long monologue during a backyard scene.
My first thought was "Oh, Lord, it's going to be a play on the big screen." I wasn't prepared for this, thus prepared to be bored, for "Fences" is a very loquacious play.
It feels less like a play as the film unfolds, but never sheds that imprint. This is intentional.
"Denzel went back to the original screenplay, and he wanted to stay close to spirit of the stage play," Constanza Romero disclosed to the New York Film Critics Online (NYFCO) after its screening of "Fences" at Walter Reade Theater.
CR, a Tony-nominated costume designer, is the widow of August Wilson, the creator of "Fences," the Pulitzer Prize-winning play from which the film is adapted.
When DW phoned to get her blessing to direct the film version, she said she obliged. "I felt like a green light all the way, " CR said during the NYFCO Q&A.
"Fences," AW's slice of Americana set in 1950s Pittsburgh concerning the life of Troy Maxson, a onetime baseball great and garbage collector, as well as his family, opens widely on Christmas Day.
For those laboring under the assumption that "Fences" marks DW's directorial debut, it does not. That distinction goes to "Antwone Fisher."
It has taken a while for "Fences" to come to the big screen mainly because of AW's edict that it be directed by a black person. He produced a script, which was touched up by an uncredited Tony Kushner.
In his third outing as a director, DW excels, particularly with himself by not overwhelming the proceedings with his consequence as the main character. The pacing is brisk enough. "Fences" does not seem overlong at 139 minutes. Characters have organic movements, seamlessly distractimg from all of the talk, for "Fences" is a loquacious film.
Emotions are on a tight coil, though the medium of film allows the players to let it rip. The camera subtly lingers on important details, such as an image of Pittsburgh steelworkers sans any black men, without looking askance.
No doubt, DW admonished production designer David Gropman to keep the sets spare in deference to his source material. Surely, he had the budget to be more lavish.
The tension present in the play is as papable on screen. Viewers will find it difficult to watch at their ease, for almost every interaction is a tinderbox on the point of exploding. Even the most innocuous-seeming, as when best friend, Jim (Stephen McKinley Henderson), tracks Troy to a favorite haunt where they have a conversation heavy laden with meaningful nonverbal communication.
Troy (Denzel Washington) and Jim (Stephen McKinley Henderson) return from a day's work in "Fences."
Incidentally, the performances are generally stellar. The actors deliver like cogs in a well-oiled machine. All of the principals are reprising their Broadway roles, except the two youngest, Cory (Jovan Adepo) and Raynell (Saniyya Sidney).
Virtually every scene is powerful and significant. Two in particular stand out. The one between Troy and youngest son, Cory, is one. The boy stubbornly refuses to exhibit the manners he has been taught - Strike 3. Consequently, Troy is forced to demonstrate who is the man of his house.
A young lady with whom this reporter chatted during the reception following the film's New York premiere (at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center Rose Hall) at Tavern on the Green, judged Troy's treatment of his son harsh.
Point taken, Father might have spared the rod a bit more, after all, the boy was not without some righteous indignation. Further, the punishment did not fit the crime. However, the young pup needed to be taught some facts of life. Specifically, some respect; a non too-gentle reminder about who pays the bills; a refresher on to whom he owes his surly, ungrateful existence.
Rose (Viola Davis and Gab (Mykelti Williamson), far left, are spectators as Cory (Jovan Adepo) and Troy (Denzel Washington) talk football.
The other scene is Rose's (Viola Davis) confronting Troy about the fallout from his infidelity. Her dissertation is so passionate that viewers will be jolted by her pain, anguish and fury; an utter betrayal of one who has been unwaveringly loyal.
"In all of his plays, August tried to pay homage to his mother, CR responded when I asked her whether he would be pleased with the film.
The short answer is yes. However, she alluded to the aforesaid and a companion scene by way of a fuller answer. "He was very reverent of his mother," she added.
"Fences" is an important work in the pantheon of American artistic expression and important for numerous other reasons.
My preference is that it remained a play only. Alas, as such, far too few would have an opportunity to see it. As a film, it opens up to the world. One hopes the world will embrace it.
Jim (Stephen McKinley Henderson), Troy (Denzel Washington) and Cory (Jovan Adepo) in the Maxson backyard where a fence construction is in progress.
"Fences" has myriad teachable moments. About dreams destroyed. About extremely limited opportunities sanctioned by the State. About injustice. About the basic unfairness of life. About brokenness. About forgiveness. About love. About the black experience in America. About black history. About American history.
Just as important, it is a fine entertainment, showcasing fine performances.
"Fences" is rated PG-13 for thematic elements, language and some suggestive references; visit www.fencesmovie.com to learn more about the film.

IN case you didn’t notice, flowers are in!
From Andy Warhol to Gucci embroidered and painted handbags and accessories, to the prints at Zara. They seem to be everywhere.
The display window at Judie's Bungalow provides a glimpse of some of its unique wares.
If hats are your thing, then a trip to Cold Spring, New York (about 60 miles from midtown New York City via NY-9A) is well worth it. Judie’s Bungalow, a house of handcrafted accessories has an assortment of one-of-a-kind berets with wool-felted flowers that are just so girly and incredible artisanal in this age of massive scale. Take note, this old-school boutique does not have a website, Facebook page or Twitter feed.
I fell in love and bought two; one for me and one for … me? So hard to gift this. At $40 each, they are a deal and bound to make your day brighter.
Who said a flower a day?
One-of-a-kind hats and berets are a specialty of Judie's Bungalow.
Judie’s Bungalow is at 90 Main St. Cold Spring, NY 10516. Telephone: 845-265-1032.

I was somewhat overwhelmed by the many impressive gizmos and gadgets about to come onto the world market at the recent Pepcom Wine, Dine & Demo holiday technology show in New York City.
However, one device in particular resonated with me as a person living with cardiovascular issues. It's called the AliveCor Mobile ECG. This user-friendly tiny miracle provides an accurate electrocardiogram to your smartphone or tablet. Results can be quickly relayed to your cardiologist.
The lifesaving implications of this product are mind-boggling. It retails for around $100, though the device is 25 percent off online until 31. Dec. At checkout, use code, LASTCHANCE2016.

THE early read is that this winter will be cold. To that end, help the guy in your life stay warm with some Under Armour.
Guys are reluctant to buy a puffer jacket for themselves, ergo, God created Eve. The UA ColdGear® Reactor Hybrid Jacket has UA storm technology that repels water and the ColdGear reactor intelligent insulation adapts to any activity for nonstop comfort and total versatility. For $184.99, the sniffles and sneezes can be kept at bay.
The ColdGear® Reactor Hybrid Jacket comes with a pouch for easy transport.
Wow! Smart, and it’s also purdy cool, ‘cause it packs easily into the left pocket. That means, it can easily fit into a gym bag or backpack. He will love it, it’s Under Armour! (http://www.undrarmr.co/2h8Ids3)
Hey, while you are shopping, get him a pair of gloves, too! Under Armour has 87 glove choices (and that doesn’t include color or size) OMG! There are gloves for every sport, so try to keep it simple. A good choice is the US ColdGear® Infrared Fleece Ski & Snowboard glove ($29.99).
The ColdGear® Infrared Fleece Ski & Snowboard glove doesn't have to come off if you need to tap on your device.
It packs a lot of punch, including a thermo-conductive coating on the inside that holds heat without adding bulk. It also has great functionality with Tech Touch print on the thumbs and fingers that allows the use of touchscreen devices with the gloves on. (http://www.undrarmr.co/2hWwj0Y)
I was inspired to recommend the gloves by the vision of a New York City police officer in the subway with a pair of Under Armours dangling from his back pocket.

IT feels so intuitive. You step, thumping your toes rhythmically, and voila!, you're tapping.
In reality, however, tap dancing is a vigorous and strenuous physical activity that requires mastery, precision and training.
Most are not likely to pursue tap dance professionally, but there are lessons to help you gain some proficiency. A sort of interim fix can be found at a number of studios around New York City for enthusiasts who lack skills but want them. If you are not in New York, Google “Tap dance lessons near me” for classes.
The American Tap Dance Foundation champions the all-American artform with, among other things, the annual Tap City: The New York City Tap Festival. It is billed as the world’s pre-imminent tap dance festival, featuring performances, demos, awards and a treasure show. The foundation also offers classes for young and old. (http://www.atdf.org/)
The 92nd Street Y also offers a course of study for the would-be tap dancer. The selections blend Fred Astaire styling, Broadway tap and the freestyle rhythm popularized by Savion Glover. Classes range from the "Absolute Beginner" to “Older Dancer” to “Intermediate.” (http://www.92y.org/Uptown/Classes/Adults/Dance/Tap.aspx)

IF you are into Americana lux, among the best is Coach
The fresh approach of executive designer Stuart Vevers to U.S. standards is creating must-have new iconic handbags, accessories and even some ready-to-wear.
A girl just can't have enough Dinky bags. From tea rose appliqué, to calf hair – in a rainbow of colors and two sizes – a Dinky is the cherry-on-top of any outfit; the perfect grab-bag for an afternoon in the park or an evening at the opera.
The Rexy intarsia knit sweater is soft and shimmery.
First introduced in 1973, it is “the little bag that could” and is a longtime Coach favorite. It also features the original 1964 turnlock designed by Coach’s first creative director, Bonnie Cashin.
Ranging from $279 (down from $395) to $795, the Dinky is a piece of precious. The Western Rivets Dinky Crossbody 24 in glove-tanned leather and black copper/heather gray is adorable. ($419, down from $595)
The Rexy charm has certain crystal accents.
But hey, if Dinky isn't for you, consider something from the Rexy capsule collection. The recent pre-fall 2017 show was part of the 75th anniversary celebration of Coach and the first for Rexy.
Incidentally, if you are in New York City, visit the newly opened Coach House (685 Fifth Ave. at 54th Street). Designed by SV in partnership with William Sofield (Studio Sofield), it is three magnificent floors of all things Coach. It also houses a 12-foot sculpture of Rexy, designed entirely of Coach handbags!
The Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty have a place of prominence on the Rexy postcard.
Rexy is the brand’s new mascot and a friendly dinosaur. She appears on various items, including handbags, scarves, intarsia knit sweaters ($695) and even a leather postcard ($25, featuring the New York skyline and landmarks), as well as a Rexy charm ($55) that is adorned with Swarovski crystals.
Get 'em now, ‘cause when they’re gone, they’re gone!
