I'd be surprised if smartwatches don't go down in price, thickness, and weight in each following generation. We're probably 3 or so years from a fully functional smartwatch the size of your Casio, though I'd imagine it would still run around $250 until it hits a higher tier of mass pr

Yup, that's the one. I haven't actually worn the clone full-time. I bought it partly out of curiosity, and as a possible backup in case my Casio kicks the bucket. It's no Casio, but it's usable. There aren't a lot of reviews on Amazon, but it sounds like build quality - namely the band - is the biggest concern. So, hard to say if it would hold up as well as a Casio.

Define "wearable" (Score:5, Insightful)
When I think of wearable, I think of devices imbedded in clothing. Smart watches and smart glasses are just devices held in a slightly different manner.
For truly wearable computing, the devices needs to be survive in all the same conditions that clothing does and be comfortable enough to wear without a thought. Those are pretty hard problems. Not many devices today would still be functional after going through the washer and the dryer and are much too bulky and/or heavy to wear all the time.
Re:Define "wearable" (Score:4, Insightful)"Wearable" has not meant "embedded in clothing" for as long as I've known, and that's more than a decade. A buddy of mine had one of those Wintel machines that was considered to be wearable, so long as you put up with the battery pack in the fannypack, the computer strapped to one arm with the screen on it, and the input device on the other arm. It was wearable because you didn't hold on to it in order to carry it with you or to use it, not because it was clothing.
Jewellery is not clothing, and it's considered wearable.
As to the original question of it becoming popular, I think that it'll come down to inexpensive, practical devices that interface wirelessly with the cell phone in the pocket. The wristwatch or bracelet that notifies of calendar events, or provides navigation feedback, or provides more phone call control than the single button on most headsets, that sort of thing, so one doesn't have to pull the phone out of the pocket for some basic, simple stuff. Right now wearable wrist phone accessories are too complex and too expensive, once that changes then they may well take off.
So you've defined what wearable isn't, but it's still not clear what it is. Why doesn't the cell phone in your pocket count as "wearing"? Why do you need some secondary device attached to you in some other fashion before it becomes wearable?
When I think of wearable, I think of devices imbedded in clothing.
Well, yeah, it would also need to 'survive' a changing of clothes. Geeks are already not renown for their wardrobe and that's certainly not going to be an incentive to change often if you only own one high-tech T-shirt...
The Ericsson R380, [wikipedia.org] the first smartphone, was released in 2000. Even if it was designed to be carried in a pocket or purse, it was still something that you kept with you at all times, and that makes it a form of wearable computer.
Meh. If the criteria is that loose - then a Palm, or Apple Newton, or Psion would count. Heck, the Psion was user programmable, in the mid '80's. There's nothing particularly unique about the R380.
But, none of them count. "Pocketable" is NOT "wearable."
I can't see how the Nokia 9000 Communicator doesn't tick every box that Ericsson does. Apart from the one "released in the 21st century", which it misses by 4 years.
Do they count as one even though they are very old and primitive? I have been wearing them since my teen(ager) days!
I am thinking never, because there will only be a subset of the population that would trust any compute device that's on their person possibly tracking them and their every activity after what we know the NSA and Anonymous can do. Cars are the current target that freaks me out, could you imagine someone hacking your clothes?!?! No thanks. I don't want my electronic underwear to get hacked and fry my genitals or something more gruesome.

Wearable, like Google glass or smart watches are a step toward a very integrated computing experience. Although I don't believe it will be as crude or pervasive as the Borg, I think we are headed in that direction. When you can send and/or read a text, or message, by thinking it, how long till verbal communication is gone? Thought control over your computer/smart phone/eye glasses, whatever, will be here sooner or later.
It will be a fundamental change in the human experience.

Here's my bold prediction: Nobody other than hardcore nerds will ever really want to wear any device other than a watch (if anyone will still wear those) or a bluetooth headset. As the years go by we will carry even more powerful and versatile devices in our pockets than we do today. Google Glass and its ilk will never be more than a novelty item.
Personally, I think I would much prefer wearing something like Google Glass than a smart watch once all the UI and ergonomic hiccups are smoothed out.

People are already wearing computers, and have been since cell phones got small enough to take everywhere. That phone might be in their pocket or purse rather than strapped to their wrist, but it's as much an omnipresent part of their ensemble – that they'd feel "naked" without – as a pocket watch once was.

After completing this call, he notices the others are staring at him. Bill explains, "Oh, this is my new personal communication system. I have an earpiece built into my watch and a microphone sewn into the end of my tie. That way I can take a call anywhere."
The others nod, and the meeting continues.
Five minutes later, the discussion is again interrupted when Andy starts beeping. He states, "Excuse me gentlemen, this must be an important call." Andy taps his earlobe and begins talking into thin air. When he completes his call, he notices the others staring at him and explains, "I also have a personal communication system. My earpiece is actually implanted in my earlobe, and the microphone is actually embedded in this fake tooth."

Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park, located in Yellowstone Wyoming, is the oldest national park in the United States. It was established by Congress and signed into law by Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. The park is home to Old Faithful Geyser, the continent's largest supervolcano and a range of animals from grizzly bears, elks and gray wolves.
The human history of Yellowstone National park dates back more than 11,000 years. Various tribes of Native Americans, such as the Blackfeet, Bannock, Kiowa and Shoshone, have all conducted ceremonies, gathered plants and minerals and conducted trade with other tribes at Yellowstone. In 1807, John Colter, a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition, was the first European-American to enter the Yellowstone area in an effort to find new customers for fur trading.
Read more about 'Yellowstone National Park'
Yellowstone's fur trade eventually dried up, and while it was a minor site during the American gold rush in the 1860s, the land became the country's first national park after a series of military and scientific expeditions were presented to Congress in 1872.
Today, Yellowstone National Park sees millions of visitors a year from all over the world. Visitors can hike, bike, fish, camp, boat, picnic and see wildlife while at the park. In addition to these tourist activities, the park also has around 1,600 archeological sites with more than 379,000 cultural objects and natural science specimens, many of which are housed in the park's museums.
The park grounds are home to 67 species of mammals, 322 recorded species of birds, 16 species of fish, 6 species of reptiles and 4 species of amphibians. While the animal life is a major attraction of Yellowstone National Park, its geological traits also drive visitors to the park.
With more than 300 geysers and hot springs, Yellowstone National Park's geothermal features highlight its position as one of the world's largest supervolcanoes. The Yellowstone Caldera was responsible for the formation of the Snake Plain River prior to being covered by the Yellowstone Plateau. Now the volcanic activity heats mud and allows geysers to spout with regularity.

SEATTLE, Jan. 5, 2010 -- Swedish's first baby of the New Year -- and the first baby born in the medical center's centennial year -- was born at 6:41 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2010. Grace Weber (pictured right) made her early morning arrival at Swedish's First Hill Campus, weighing in at 6 pounds, 15.6 ounces and 18.5 inches long.
Having their first baby so early in the new year was an unexpected blessing, according to Grace's parents, Courtney and Dave Weber of West Seattle.
Swedish Ballard's first baby of the new year was born Jan. 2 at 12:21 a.m. Henry Alvin Ramirez, pictured above – who weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces and a little over 20 inches long – was delivered by a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and welcomed by first-time parents Mary and Dan Ramirez of Seattle's Crown Hill neighborhood.
Recognizing the first New Year baby at each campus is an annual tradition at Swedish, but it is even more special this year since 2010 represents the medical center's 100th anniversary.
Swedish was founded in 1910 by Dr. Nils Johanson, a Swedish immigrant, surgeon and the father of Kitty Nordstrom. In a memoir about her father, Kitty recalled the first baby born at Swedish in 1910. Being one of the few to have a car at the time, her father picked up a laboring mother on Queen Anne Hill and drove her to Swedish to deliver the baby.
Since then, more than 200,000 babies have been born at Swedish. In fact, more babies are born at Swedish each year than at any other medical center in Washington state. There were more than 7,400 born between Swedish's First Hill and Ballard campuses in 2009. Swedish also has a top-notch Perinatal Medicine Clinic and one of just a handful of Level-III Neonatal Intensive Care Units in Washington state.
For having the first babies of Swedish's centennial year, the Webers and Ramirezs each received a newborn gift basket from the Swedish Auxiliary, a baby receiving blanket from Swaddle Designs, and a manicure-pedicure set from ButterLondon. Swaddle Designs – a Seattle-based company founded by a labor and delivery nurse – donated 40 blankets to Swedish so that each baby born on New Year's day at the medical center was able to receive one. ButterLondon is a Seattle-based nail salon chain and nail beauty products company.
In addition, Grace and Henry – along with every baby born at the First Hill or Ballard campus throughout 2010 – will receive a souvenir 'I'm a Swedish Baby' one-piece.
The Webers praised their OB/GYN Emily Norland, M.D., and the nursing staff at Swedish. "We really like Swedish. Everyone was very helpful and the room was great," said Courtney Weber.
"We knew we wanted a natural childbirth, but also wanted the security of being at a hospital. After meeting with the Certified Nurse Midwives at Swedish/Ballard, we realized their philosophy on childbirth matched ours perfectly. In addition, we went through the medical center's CenteringPregnancy program and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, especially first-time parents," said Mary Ramirez. "We would like to extend special thanks to CNM Maggie Bolton and the nurses on hand during the birth. They were incredible as they guided us through the miracle of birth."
Swedish's centennial celebration will officially launch in March of 2010. Stay tuned for more details.

Junktion is a group of people who think that "there is enough stuff in the world already and try to take from what there is, and often find our desires in what no longer interests others"
Their designs are basically inspired from what we classified as "Junk". Or in other words they are doing recycle projects, however, the biggest difference is their design has it's own personality and laugh to it. Here are some of my favorites.

Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook COO, ranked eighth on Fortune's list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business - has become one of America's most galvanizing leaders, and an icon for millions of women juggling work and family. In Lean In, she urges women to take risks and seek new challenges, to find work that they love, and to remain passionately engaged with it at the highest levels throughout their lives.
Lean In - Sheryl Sandberg's provocative, inspiring book about women and power - grew out of an electrifying TED talk Sandberg gave in 2010, in which she expressed her concern that progress for women in achieving major leadership positions had stalled. The talk became a phenomenon and has since been viewed nearly 2,000,000 times. In Lean In, she fuses humorous personal anecdotes, singular lessons on confidence and leadership, and practical advice for women based on research, data, her own experiences, and the experiences of other women of all ages. Sandberg has an uncanny gift for cutting through layers of ambiguity that surround working women, and in Lean In she grapples, piercingly, with the great questions of modern life. Her message to women is overwhelmingly positive. She is a trailblazing model for the ideas she so passionately espouses, and she's on the pulse of a topic that has never been more relevant.

Sheryl Sandberg isn't afraid to share. Everything is extremely personal and inspiring. I am recommending this book to my male friends. I believe that they will be able to understand and help with gender equalities if they read Sheryl's book.
Elisa's voice is similar to that of Sheryl's. I am glad that I listen to it rather than read it.
Audible listener who's grateful for a long commute!
"Lean In, Lead On"
Sheryl Sandberg had me at, "I gained 70 lbs!"
I had heard a lot about this book, but I really wasn't sure that I could relate to this woman. At all. I expected a book by a carefully made up, wealthy, privileged woman with an excellent education in a token leadership position. I expected someone with a lot of help who could "do it all", with little – if any – credit to the people who helped her do it.
I, on the other hand, joined the Army for the college benefits, and I put myself through law school. I don't aspire to manage a corporation. In fact, indirectly, I work for one of the people she mentions in her book. I am an attorney, and I want to be the best litigator I can be. I am also the proud mother of two teenagers, and I worry that I shouldn't have worked outside of the home – but that wasn't a choice I had.
I was wrong about Sandberg. Like me, and the rest of us, she is real. Sandberg's a sociologist, a critic, a coach, a realist. Sandberg gives props to important leaders from Warren Buffet to Betty Freidan, and to her administrative assistant and her friends. Bravo! Sandberg, get out your pom-poms - Tip O'Neil is calling from the grave.
Sandberg doesn't mention "Games Mother Never Taught You" by Betty Lehan Harrigan (1987), but that is analogous to some of the tactics she recommends. Yes, it would be better if we (women) didn't have to bend to the (male) rules, but we do. Harrigan's book is a guidebook, and as helpful as Freidan's "The Feminine Mystique" in some ways.
There is a hysterically funny tale involving an eBay corporate jet and an itchy child's head, but for real fun, skip to Chapter 6 (7 on audible) and listen to the first minute. Sandberg reminds us even while we should do what we would do if we weren't afraid, motherhood keeps us grounded.
Oh, and did I mention – Sandberg is the COO of Facebook – and she really does know what she's doing?
This book is fantastic. Lean In!

graduate slave
I would recommend this book to any woman and man who is looking for ways to make away with gender issues in the workplace. We need people in power, both men and women, who can open the dialog needed to make the workplace a friendlier place for women, those with families and those without.Ms. Sandberg, using her own experiences and those of people close to her, makes a case for the advancement of women in the workplace using scientific and business data. Between those damned "work-life" juggles, to acknowledging your ambition and siting at the table, to how to engage your partner to become an equal partner if you're interested in childrearing and advancing in your professional career. She makes a convincing case for acknowledging social conventions for the sexes and blowing past them.In some ways this book is a feminist manifesto but all the way she acknowledges that no two people are the same and what is right for some women is not for others. The gender gap hasn't been closed, so let's lean in and make it happen.
The whole book is filled with anecdotes which will make you laugh, cry and even cringe a bit.
The introduction and first chapters of this book made me cry, because I am the woman described. The one always selling myself short and observing social conventions to be liked. Ms. Sanderberg made me realize even women at the top, have made mistakes on the way there.
"Wow--if you're a mother/working women, a must read"
A must read!
Maybe some women don't need to hear this; maybe they are already aware and changing or simply not this way, but as an executive with almost two decades of experience, this one captured my attention and then left me gaping in horror--I was hearing her describe me! Only, I thought I was alone. I wanted to hear more--who was this intruder and how did she escape?
This is one I will keep in my office and hand out like candy
"Insightful book, with warm, energetic narration"
The book takes a frank look at issues affecting women in the workplace, cutting a swathe through the veil of political correctness around the topic. Sandberg takes no prisoners in her frank look at the subject, attacking gender stereotypes propegated by both men AND women. It's a unique voice in the discussion on modern feminism and honestly one that's needed.
"Make your life count - no matter what you do"
I write this review as a way to invite EVERYONE to read this book.
The only character is my favorite - the woman who cares to make her life engaging and important to herself and those around her.
This is a book written as a manifesto and manual for changing the way women behave and are regarded. How you regard yourself and how our culture regards you.
I became accustomed to the narrator but would have preferred a more mature and mellifluous voice. I think the more mature voice might have also had more credibility.
For me, there is a nasal edge that grates ever so slightly the entire book.
All I could think was "Ms. Sandberg must have been mentoring or sponsoring this person".
No. In fact, this book is to be really listened to - the more attention paid, the better the results.
Also, there is a companion website that is spectacularly effective and interesting for building skills.
I might actually purchase the book as well as having listened to it. There are sections I will want to read again and again.
"Very inspiring!"
I would definitely reccomend this to a friend.
Even way (and I mean, wayyyyy) before I was a mother to my two children, I had always wondered how I would ever be able to juggle both work and motherhood. As a now stay at home small business owner, I still struggle to find the answers to my self or the family.
The author tackles the issue with her own highly professional career experiences with plenty of scientific data to back up.
Easy to read and very inspiring. Definitely a huge eye opener.
By the time I finished reading, I felt like as if I was given a clear path to the solutions, although it will not come without the help of my husband, now I see where I should put my full effort in achieving a good balance between work and home.
One thing though that I wished to see was how companies could provide a flexible work time without economical penalties... If there's any way!
But overall I'm very happy to have read the book and also given the media attention this book is getting already, I'm thrilled to see the movements that are coming along the way!
Thank you Sheryl for inspiring us women!
"full of useful info...without the corporate-speak"
Full disclosure: I'm a guy.
Wow, if women in corporate America have been walking around with these insecurities for the past too many years, there is a lot of repairing to do. Sandberg lays out a wide range of sensible solutions to pick from; all designed to allow women (or men) to perform at their highest level. If enough folks read this book and are able to bring its solutions to the workplace, we could probably add another percentage point or two to GDP growth! Narration is great.
"Redefining Feminism"
Sherly Sandberg has redefined feminism to what women of my generation had always hoped it could become, a movement that gives people of both genders the freeedom to become all they choose to be. The book is well written and honest with specific suggestions on how women and men can make the workplace and home more supportive to allow for these choices. She shares her own personal experiences and success without arrogance, but in a manner that shares her learning with others to support them in their own journey.I bought the book in print for my son and daughter-in-law who are expecting their first child in July - a daughter. I bought the book for my daughter and all of her friends. She is early twenties just beginning her career. Sheryl has provided a road map by sharing her knowledge that will provide young women with information many of us wish we had had during our careers. Outstanding book which I believe will become a turning point in the feminist movement world wide.
"Lacks concrete plans of action, depressing"
I generally appreciate a book that sets out to empower women in the workplace. Unfortunately the stories are more depressing than inspiring, and Sandberg's advice is paltry and limited-- essentially her best advice is to ask for a raise, be assertive, but don't stop being nice, because as you assert yourself people will dislike you for your power.
I feel that I could have gotten her main points in about 1/7 of the time that it took to get through this book. Overall I found Sandberg's examples repetitive.
I don't need someone to tell me that women are not getting equal treatment over and over-- I heard this already in Feminist Studies in college. I would like to know how do we make inroads given the playing field, and case studies of women both who tried to buck the system and failed-- and those who tried to buck it and succeeded.
I also felt that Sandberg's examples were often cliche's or quotes from others that I was already familiar with. I've already read Tina Fey's book-- I don't need you to quote her in yours. I wish she had more academic or empirical research as opposed to exclusively personal experience and anecdotal. There were only a few points that introduced new ideas in the field to me-- and for the most part they were depressing: women actually shy away from hiring other women, when women are in higher positions, this decreases the chances that more women will rise to high positions in that company, when women ask for raises they often get them. I wish she had cast a broader net with her supporting detail. I also wish that she had drawn conclusions then that were less repetitive -- or for those repetitive sections trimmed the book down to a more concise read.
The truth is Sandberg is leveraging her position to create a property she can sell-- and hasn't put in the dedicated research that would be necessary to make this truly awesome regardless of how business famous the person writing it is.
This book is not about characters. Audible -- get with it.
No thanks.

When your team is making the same mistakes every game then that's a coaching issue ..
So, free throws right here? Was the guy on the ground in pain going to stop us from scoring a layup?
Maybe he wants them to live and learn and play out of it?
I'm sure he doesn't like seeing it happen, and I'm sure he has his reasons for not calling a to.
Good ****, Darius is fouling a lot.

- — Giovanni Casa.
Snappy Dresser is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by his mother at his mother's restaurant in Saint Mark's, Portland Island, Liberty City.
The mission begins with Ma Cipriani complaining to Toni that he never called and comparing him to Giovanni Casa, a delicatessen owner in Chinatown. Toni decides to prove to his mother how perverted Casa is and goes to his apartment in Saint Marks to pick up his camera.
Toni drives to Casa's deli and sees him pick up two prostitutes (one called Mona Lott), and follows them as Casa drives to a secluded area at Callahan Point. Casa then changes into a diaper and begins to chase the startled prostitutes. Toni takes a picture of Casa, who realizes someone is watching and makes a quick escape.
Toni goes to his mothers restaurant with photographic evidence of Casa's pervertedness and hoping to gain some approval from his mother. However, Toni is once again attacked, with his mother still adament that Casa is a good man, and a better man than Toni.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Head for your apartment to pick up your camera
- Pick up your camera
- Now head outside
- Go to Casa's deli
- Tail Casa, but don't get too close
- Stay on Casa's tail. This could be a great photo opportunity
- Sneak-up on Casa, then take the photo that will shame him
- Nice shot! Now take the photo to Ma's place
The reward for passing the mission is $100 and unlocks the next mission from Ma Cipriani, Big Rumble in Little China.

Department of Infection and Epidemiology
The Pharmacoepidemiology and Infectious Diseases (Pharmacoépidémiologie et Maladies Infectieuses–PhEMI) research group was launched at the Institut Pasteur in 2007 as one of the teams of INSERM U657, subsequently becoming a separate Institut Pasteur unit in January 2008. Following an AERES evaluation (February 2009), a research team was also established at the University of Versailles Saint Quentin (UVSQ) in January 2010. The group became affiliated to INSERM again in January 2011. It is located on two different sites: the Institut Pasteur campus in Paris, and the UVSQ Medical School, Raymond Poincare University Hospital, Garches.
Our research activities focus on the effects of population exposure to anti-infectious agents, in terms of the risks of infection, bacterial resistance to antibiotics and escape from vaccination, in particular. We investigate the interactions between human populations, antimicrobial drugs, and antimicrobial treatment escape by microbes at the population level, in both hospital and community settings. Our studies aim to evaluate the respective and combined impacts of cross-transmission, host-bacterium interaction (natural or induced by vaccination) and changes in the exposure of the population to antibiotics and vaccines.
We are currently exploring the interaction between exposure of the population to anti-infectious agents and the risk of infectious diseases, taking into account the environmental context of infectious risk dynamics. We use a combination of ad hoc epidemiological investigations and population-wide databases and our work involves the refinement of statistical methods, applications of mathematical modeling (population dynamics), computer simulation and social-science methods.
The specific objectives of our research programs are:
- To improve our understanding and to quantify the influence of selection due to exposure to anti-infectious agents on the spread and escape mechanisms of human pathogens.
- To investigate the factors underlying the dynamics of pathogenic microorganisms, including clone epidemicity, exposure to anti-infectious agents and contact between individuals.
- To assess the public-health impact of changes in exposure to antimicrobial drugs.

B Anderson
Alton, IL
Comment: Nice gloves...good for cool weather.
Comment: I already have a similar glove with "thinsulate" lining but needed something for colder days. I hate thick gloves and I thought from the picture these would be thicker than they are and I didnt want to spend too much because I thought I was not going to like them. At $12 no big loss if they suck. I was suprised to find they are actually a little thinner than my other gloves but keep my hands warmer. I only ride about 5 miles to work and they work well down to about the upper 20s at that distance. If I rode further I would need a heavier glove on the colder days. They do run small as others have said so I ordered a size larger than I thought I would need and they fit perfect. I would rate these as similar quality to gloves at local cycle shops for $30 or more. These are a great value and I would not hesitate to recomend them.

Comment: Exactly what I was looking for.
Branch, MI
Comment: I bought several items from Jafrum already so is no surprise of the quality when I got this leather gloves, fits perfect and i'm very pleased with the extremely good quality just like in all the Jafrum products, keeps my hands protected and cool in hot weather and is thick enough to keep my hands warm in cold weather.
San Diego, CA.
Comment: Every order Ive gotten from Jafrum has been excellent. These gloves fit perfect.Not to heavey but not to light. Delivery is alwasy fast. Thanks Jafrum. Another great item and a return customer.
Lovington NM
Comment: I was looking for a "mid-temp" glove, something not as heavy as my gauntlets but warmer than my warm weather gloves. These fit the bill perfectly. I ordered a size up from what I normally wear based on the reviews, and they fit perfectly. I've been comfortable with them down to the mid-40s, then I switch to the heavy ones. Highly recommended, and the service from Jafrum was fast as always.
Balsam Lake, Wisconsin
Comment: Excellent quality for the price. Wore the gloves during the cool mornings riding the Blue Ridge Parkway and they were wonderful. Would probably want a longer cuff if riding in cold weather - but worked well for me with temps in the 40's .
D L Sheaffer
Mechanicsburg PA
Comment: Great price for a really nice lightweight lined glove. Hi qulity zipper, soft leather. Great buy!
Bob Francis
Comment: Nice gloves. I didn't expect such quality for the price.
W. Drinkard
Comment: Awesome quality, keep my hands warm enough when riding at night, you can't beat the price, they are a little small so you have to go one size bigger if you want them to fit perfectly.
San Diego, CA
Comment: Nice ! fit and a quality !!!
Comment: Size is hard to fit. Not a bad glove
Comment: I ordered these gloves, they arrived promptly, they fit fine, and I'm pleased with their quality and everything about them. I'll probably use them when I ski this winter.

Comment: These gloves fit just right. I wear extra large and the size was dead on. I live in Charlotte and usually go to Jafrum to purchase stuff but this time I wanted to buy online. I received my order within three days. Thanks.

Rosemary Hromyak
Comment: These were purchased as a Christmas gift for my son. He gives them a thumbs up & says they are warm. Order one size larger & you will be good to go.
Matt USA
Midwest Missouri
Comment: These gloves have a nice price, look and fit. The only problem that I see is the liner. It feels like a cut up cloth glove stuffed inside. It doesn't even wrap around the fingers inside.
Tracy, CA
Comment: These are a decent minimalist gloves. They are not fully lined or insulated around the fingers. That of course leads to cold fingers. The finger lining on mine needed to be trimmed as it bunched up at the tips where the lining was sewn poorly. After some altering on the lining I now feel they are going to work out ok.
Comment: These gloves are very nice. I actually bought a second pair and gave one away. Quick delivery, awesome price. Totally recommended!
David R
Los Angeles
Comment: These are nice comfortable gloves, not really good for winter riding, but they are a good spring, fall glove and a comfortable driving glove.
Eric Billings
Bellport, NY
Comment: Warm gloves, fit well. I ordered a XL because that is what i have worn in the past on buying gloves from Walmart. It was a perfect fit. Well pleased.
Jim Simpson
Richland, MS
Comment: Order the next size up. I measured for a Medium and they were too tight across my knuckes when ridding and hurt my hand. They might have stretched over time but I was happier exchanging for Large
Comment: Nice gloves. the fit was right on, however they didnt keep my hands very warm. had to get extra liner. still like them.
Jimmie K
Centralia WA
Comment: Great for the price!
Doug Tyler
Laurel, MD
Comment: I can not say they are bad gloves. However the leather could be a little thicker. I question the longevity of these gloves. Like other reviewers have said they are good gloves for the 50 to 70 degree weather. Dollar for dollar they are worth the price.
michigan 49505
Comment: The gloves showed up on time they are thin and not very warm I have been wearing this style of glove for almosts 20 years now and have great dexterity for those long rides; but these are fair gloves for the cost. Overall I am pleased with the fit.
Eric Dincecco
denver ,co
Comment: A good product for the price. Had to oil zipper. OK @ 40 degrees F.
Victor J.
Comment: real nice gloves they are worm
donny rasch
Comment: Found same gloves at a local shop for almost 3x the cost.... I'm in Arizona great for driving in 40 to 50 degree weather. Will return to buy more.
Comment: Very nice gloves. Warm and soft but not too thick. I would order a size larger than you think you need.
Comment: Thanks a lot for the good quality product. I bought this gloves for my husband, who was looking for the combination of the soft, but stretchy and worm leather gloves for a large palm with long fingers for the past 2 years.
He is very happy with your product.
Comment: The fit and finish is not notch. The gloves work best in 40 and up temps. Ive been using them in the last month and temps are down in the low 30's at night and finger tips a little on the cold side. Overall I really like them. I wish they had gel in the palms but other than that, great pair of gloves.
Comment: The lined gloves fit tighter than the same size unlined ones. However, the dye does not discolor your hands. I have worn both the lined and unlined gloves on rides and they are both comfortable.

In the past few days, police have discovered dozens of mass graves filled with victims of drug cartels in San Fernando, Mexico.
Police have discovered a total of 177 victims in the graves, most of which were likely killed at the hands of the Zetas cartel, a major and vicious Mexican gang, authorities told the Financial Times.
Most of the victims had blunt force trauma to the head, while a sledgehammer that was found at the crime scene this month was likely used in the executions, Mexican investigators and state officials told the Washington Post.
Over 35,000 people have been killed in the past four years since the government's began it's battle with Mexico's organized crime, which America has supported with $1.6 billion.
Authorities have arrested 76 suspects, including the possible local Zeta boss Martin "El Kilo" Estrada, who authorities have attributed as the mastermind behind the killings.

The ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response team is currently on the ground in Spokane, Washington, assisting Spokane County Regional Animal Protective Services (SCRAPS) with the sheltering and daily care of 63 horses seized Nov. 15 as part of an animal cruelty investigation.
ASPCA responders will remain in Spokane, an ASPCA Partner Community, for at least the next 30 days to nurse the horses to health before their placement with various rescue groups for adoption. The ASPCA is also providing a $5,000 grant to SCRAPS to help cover expenses related to the horses' care.
SCRAPS officials discovered the severely emaciated and dehydrated horses, who had no access to water or acceptable food, on an abandoned property. Eleven horses in critical condition were taken to a local veterinarian for immediate medical attention. The remaining horses are being cared for at the Spokane County fairgrounds by SCRAPS and ASPCA responders. Agencies assisting the ASPCA with care and sheltering include: Days End Rescue (Woodbine, Maryland); Code 3 (Longmont, Colorado); Equine Emergency Rescue Unit (Overland Park, Kansas); and Washington State Animal Response Team (Enumclaw, Washington).
Local authorities have issued a warrant for the arrest of the property owner on charges of animal cruelty in the first degree and transporting or confining animals in an unsafe manner. The suspect has a history of animal cruelty charges, but has ceased appearing in court for proceedings related to these prior charges. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
If you've given to the ASPCA recently, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Caring for this many horses is an enormous undertaking and a huge commitment, but we are determined to be there for animal victims of cruelty whenever they need us. If you haven't yet given to the ASPCA lately, please consider doing so today. On behalf of animals across the country, thank you!
What are you going to do with these pathetic animals
to paul, what are they going to do with you?
Thank you. It's hard to fathom the stupidity and cruely to animals (I am a horse owner myself) but added to that, the ignorance and stupidity of comments like this one, to which you responded.
What, indeed, should we do with him?
Well said Shannon! It baffles me why people that don't care about animals even look at websites like these! Grow up Paul! Get off this website since you lack compassion!
Please don't be too quick to judge Paul. For one thing, while his comment does sound negative and inhumane, it is possible that he meant it in the sense of wondering how we would help these horses. But whether he meant that or he meant it as a cruel and insensitive remark, do you really want to chase him off the site? What is our goal here? To pat each other on the back, admiring our own superiority, or to help others be aware of the problem and join the ranks of those concerned with animal welfare? Please, try to avoid the self-gratuitous outrage and adopt a more constructive, nonjudgmental attitude that presents a good impression to others and encourages people that may not be so aware of animal abuse to take an interest.
to S. O. Rooney
I wanted to thank you for your foresight and kindness in how you responded...too often we are quick to anger and slow to think about the consequences...perhaps why we need an ASPCA at all...Thank you for thinking of animals first and social media second in your remarks...it is so important to expand and put a hand out rather than cut a potential friend to animals off...
Thank you!
I think we should make him help muck out their stalls, feed and groom them. Maybe he and others would develop some compassion. As for the owner, she should go to prison for a long time and see what forced confinement is like. Shame on both of them!
I don't think people understand the word 'pathetic' sometimes. Over time it has become more used for its definition of being inadequate. But the older usage of the word meant that someone/something was in a pitiable condition...the sorriest of conditions. That is imho what Paul meant here. I may be wrong but I think not.

International Graduate Requirements
Listed below are the steps involved when applying to Pfeiffer, qualifying for an I-20, applying for a visa, and finally, arriving in the United States:
1) Submit a graduate school application for admission to Pfeiffer University. (Click here for Online Application)
2) Submit transcripts from ALL schools attended showing you are qualified academically
3) Submit graduate test scores (GRE, GMAT, MAT, etc.)
4) Submit three letters of recommendation (MBA Program only)
5) Submit evidence of English proficiency. A basic requirement for successful study in the United States is the ability to communicate in English. International students applying to the university must use one of the following methods to show that they have an appropriate level of English proficiency:
Pfeiffer accepts ANY of the following as proof of English proficiency.
a) TOEFL score of at least 550 PBT/213 CBT/79-80 IBT, taken at an official ETS testing center and NOT in-house; i.e., at a university
b) IELTS score of at least 6.0
c) Completion of a bachelor's degree at a US university
d) Completion of an appropriate level in an ESL program which, according to the ESL school, is sufficient for the graduate level of university study.
e) English as a first language, reinforced with a graduate admissions test
f) CEFR score of at least C1
NOTE: The TOEFL is given in most countries around the world on computer (the paper based version is being phased out). The test is offered on many days during the month, but only at a limited number of computer centers. You may have to travel some distance to reach the nearest test center. Pre-registration is required. The TOEFL uses a multiple choice and essay format to measure each examinee's ability to understand North American English. The test is divided into four sections: listening, structure, reading, and writing. The writing section requires the test taker to write an essay. The total number of questions you answer correctly and your score on the essay form the raw scores for each section.
6) Submit proof of financial support sufficient to cover your first year's expenses including living expenses. CHECK WITH THE ADMISSIONS 0FFICE FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU NEED TO DOCUMENT. ALL CURRENCY LISTED SHOULD BE IN US
DOLLARS. You will be sent a Statement of Financial Support Form. You can download this form by going to www.Pfeiffer.edu/International and clicking on "Forms.†We will also need bank statements showing the availability of funds. Make a copy of this documentation before you send it to Pfeiffer, because you will need it when you apply for your visa and also when you arrive in the United States at the port of entry.
7) Submit a copy of your passport ID page (the page with your name and expiration date)
After you have been formally accepted and submitted all the necessary documents, Pfeiffer will send you an I-20. Please read this document carefully; if you find an error, let us know immediately since an error could have a negative impact on your application for an F-1 visa. Also, read page 2 which outlines your responsibilities as an F-1 student.
SEVIS FEE: BEFORE applying for an F-1 visa at a United States consulate or embassy, the Department of Homeland Security requires payment of a $200 SEVIS fee. There are two ways to pay this fee:
1) The fee may be paid by mail by submitting Form I-901, "Fee Remittance for Certain F, M, and J Nonimmigrants,†together with a check or money order drawn on a U.S. bank and payable in US currency; or
2) The fee may be paid on-line by going to https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/. On this website, you can complete Form I-901 and pay the fee using Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, whether issued in the US or overseas. This is the quickest method.
The SEVIS fee should be paid at least THREE business days before applying for your visa.
After paying the SEVIS fee, you will then take the fee receipt, the I-20 Pfeiffer sent you, your passport, and all proof of financial ability to the United States consulate or embassy that has jurisdiction over your place of residence abroad. During your interview (required) with the consular/embassy official, you will need to demonstrate that:
1) You are a bona fide student. The officer will look at your educational background and plans in order to assess how likely you are to enroll and remain in college until graduation. Be prepared to discuss the reasons you chose a particular college, your anticipated major, and your career plans. Bring school transcripts, national examination results, and SAT or TOEFL scores.
2) You have sufficient funds to cover all expenses while in the United States. The U.S. government needs assurance that you won't drop out of school or take a job illegally. Provide solid evidence of your sponsor's finances especially sources and amounts of income. This assures the consular officer that adequate funds will be available throughout your four-year college program.
3) You have a residence in your home country to which you intend to return. Are your ties to home so strong that you will not want to remain permanently in the United States? Consular officers are required by the U.S. State Department to consider all applicants for visas as having the intention to remain in the United States after completing their studies unless and until applicants convince the consular officer that they do not. Overall, you must be able to show that your reasons for returning home are stronger than those for remaining in the United States. You must demonstrate sufficient economic, family and social ties to your place of residence to ensure that your stay in the United States will be temporary. Economic ties include your family's economic position, property you may own or stand to inherit, and your own economic potential when you come home after completing your education. The consular officer may be impressed to see evidence of your career planning.
If the consular officer approves your application, he will stamp an F-1 visa on a page inside your passport.
Next, you must apply at a port of entry for admission to the United States by:
a) presenting a passport (valid for at least more six months)
b) presenting a an F-1 visa which has Pfeiffer listed in the annotation (new students); Note that Canadians do NOT need a visa
c) producing the I-20 issued by Pfeiffer and signed by you
d) showing evidence of financial support and supporting documentation
e) convincing the immigration inspector that you are qualified in all ways to be admitted as an F-1 student
If the immigration inspector approves your entry into the United States, you will be issued an I-94 Form which indicates:
a) the date and place of entry
b) your status (should be F-1)
c) an unique 11 digit identification number
d) D/S or "duration of status†(means you are admitted to the United States for
the length of time required to complete a specific program; this completion date is indicated on the I-20. If your I-94 does not have D/S, contact someone in the International Center immediately.
The immigration inspector will stamp the top page of your I-20. NOTE: this is a very important document. You will need your I-20 anytime you travel outside the United States. Page 3 of this form must be signed by a DSO in the International Center at least every 12 months, preferably every 6 months, especially if you will be traveling outside the US.
Once you arrive on campus, it is very important that you bring your passport, I-94, I-20, and SEVIS fee receipt to the International Center so that we can make copies for your student file.
