Comment: This is one terrific leather Jacket. Very warm and comfortable to wear. It's a top quality product. The sale and delivery was extreemly fast. I had my jacket in 5 days. Excellent company to deal with. I would highly recommend them
Comment: Very Nice jacket for the Tall rider. Fits in all the right places ,doesn't cut in when you ride. Pading in the Back and elbows is a nice feature. I have worn on days that have started in the high 30'S AND ENDED IN THE HIGH 70'S ,the vents and the zip out liner work very well.

Comment: I am 6'2 and the jacket fits nice. Good enough for Hawaii's weather.
Honolulu, Hawaii
Comment: I'm 6'1 and 290, the 4xl tall fit great, it is loose enough to wear a sweatshirt under it, the sleeves are just the right length, I've tried lots of other jackets that fit in the body but the sleeve were made way to long, this is the best jacket i've ever purchased.
Oneill, Nebraska
Comment: Can not belive the quality. Thought it would be less and got more. Buy it, you will not be sorry. 6'5'' 245lbs 2XL fits perfect. I have very long arms
Philadelphia, PA
Comment: The quality of the jacket is very good. Fit is perfect. All snaps are tight and should last a long time. Can't beat the price anywhere on anything similar. Great job guys!
Mansfield LA
Comment: I ordered this jacket for my son. The service was excellent.
Comment: Unbelievable! I ordered on Monday night and it showed up on Thursday. Great service! I'm just as blown away by the value. Who would think you could get this much jacket for a c-note. I followed the sizing suggestion on-line and fits me to a T. I'm 6'3", 245 lbs and the 2XL is spot-on. I've been searching all over for a tall jacket. I'm so glad I found you guys.
South Lyon, MI
Comment: Great jacket at a very good price. Service was terrific. I will be a long time customer.
Comment: Bought this jacket after not being able to find anything locally under $200 for a tall size. The jacket is great. The only complaint is that it is hot in 75 plus degree weather even with liner out and the vents open. It is very heavy duty leather.
Comment: I've always had problems with the sleeves not being long enough. This jacket fits great. I would recommend this jacket to anyone.
Comment: This is a great jacket for the price, I wasn't sure about ordering a leather jacket online, but now that I have it, I wish I would have ordered it last year. The quality was much better then I was expecting and the tall jacket fit perfect. Oh and fast shipping.
Comment: Since I've got orangutang arms I intentionally ordered a "tall" for the additional sleeve length Glad I Did! Side laces made it easy to fit around the waist to cut the draft up my back. Hardly noticed the 40 degree temps this morning on the ride to work. It would outstanding if the neck had adjustable closure

Comment: Can not beat this jacket for the price. I am 6'3" 205lb with broad shoulders and a XXL fits my shoulders and arms great but is quite a bit large in the stomach. Even with this, it is a great fit.
Memphis, TN
Comment: Be careful what size you order! I'm 6'3" 280lbs and the 4X was too small, am awaiting the 5X in hopes it will work.
Evansville, IN
Comment: These are nice jackets but they run narrow. I am 6'5", 280lbs. and usually wear 2XLT. In this jacket I ordered a 3XL and ended up with a 5XL!

Comment: I was very supprised with the quality and thickness of this coat. I'm 6'4" 230lbs. and the 2xl fits perfect as long as I don't have a fleece or sweatshirt on. Coat is very warm, especially with full liner in. leather is so thick it's a little stiff, but should get more flexible with age.
Rockford, Mi.
Comment: I am 6' 7", thin, a good set of shoulders with the long arms that go with being this tall. I have a tough time finding any jackets and shirts with long enough sleeves for me without buying sizes way too large for my body. This size L fits incredibly well. Although not ape long sleeves the jacket is long enough in the sleeves to be comfortable and letting my gloves cover in cold weather riding. I have had this for 1-1/2 yrs and it has held up really well, even with my bike going down around a corner on a gravel road. It protected me well and was not torn or even show signs of going down. Glad I had it on. The zip out liner is awesome for cool mornings and then hotter afternoons to be able to stay comfortable. Would I buy again? YOU BET!!!!

Comment: Great Quality. Much more than I expected at this price, especially for a great jacket in tall size
Maureen Power
Comment: Bought this as a gift for my nephew in Navy that just bought a cycle.He is very tall, so my options were limited This coat is more than I expected for price. Leather is thick & heavy-duty. Looks sharp too. Picture doesn't do it justice. If you're looking for a nice jacket at a great price, don't be afraid to take a good look at this jacket and save yourself some $$.
Comment: 6"4" 205 lbs, needed the Tall XL after trying the L. Switching out was no big deal, and replacement was everything I was looking for. Heavy weight Jacket, with a liner, fit was great, this is a great jacket, you will not be disappointed particularly considering the price.

Comment: Awesome service, top notch coat, the fit is a little big, but perfect for layering. I highly recommend them.
Paul Javor
Comment: I bought a large. I am 6'1" and weigh about 190. Fits perfect. I went to the local Harley dealership looking for a jacket like this one and was prepared to pay the FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS they were askin until I saw that it was made in China. Needless to say I was disappointed and kept shopping. I found Jafrum. No my jacket was not made in the USA but it was not made in China either. Anyway, great jacket. Fits me and my long arms perfect. I will shop Jafrum again!

Comment: Great ftting especially for the tall and looks fantastic! Purchased this as a present for my boyfriend and he LOVES it! Also excellent customer service and quick delivery. Highly recommend product and merchant! Kudos!
Comment: The jacket was brought for my 6'5" 19 year old son. He is tall and lean! The jacket quality was exceptional for the price, just one problem in our case; the body length of the large jacket was a bit too long for my son's lean body. We were worried about the sleeve length, but the sleeves were perfect. The body was 2 to 4 inches too long. The quality more than made up for it and I am sure he will have it for years, so he may expand into the length, so we are keeping it.

Comment: Didn't think I'd ever find a good jacket to fit 6'-7" height and 200 lbs. It's perfect fit, looks great. Price was excellent, shipped super quick. Nice features.
Comment: We purchased this coat for my son's birthday. He is about 6'5" and lean. I ordered the jacket in large to ensure the length was correct. The length of the jacket was perfect, but he was so lean the jacket is a bit large for him. We figure he is only 19 so he will eventually fill out and the jacket was such good quality he will have this jacket for a very long time! The value of this jacket was amazing, well worth the price!
Jacksonville Fl
Comment: I am 300lbs and 6'3" with a big belly. The Jacket fits great (5X) without the quilted liner, snug with the liner. The jacket is well made and just what I was looking for. Sleeve length and jacket body length are perfect even though I have a long torso. Now if the belly would just go.
Santa Maria, Cal.
Comment: I am 6'4" and weigh 270 lbs. I am very muscular and decided to go with the 4XL tall size. I received the jacket and it looks way better in person. It looks so much more modern and less faded than in the picture shown. The sleeves are very long and are perfect for me when I reach my cruiser's handlebar grips. The back comes down right at the hips. All in all this jacket is definately worth buying!
Dublin, GA
Comment: Nice quality at a very low price. Not too heavy so you can still move your arms around. Much more than I expected for the price.
La Canada
Comment: I was a little leery at seeing no negative reviews on this, but after I got it, I know why. This jacket is awesome in every way. The pic makes it look thin, but it is surprisingly thick. I am 6'6" tall and about 215 pounds. I got the 2XL tall, and it fits perfect. The zipper is a little stiff, but I'm sure that it will loosen up over time.

Comment: Im 6' 4" 220. The long 2XL fits awesome. If u have a belly go a size bigger. The jacket is no joke. It is heavy duty. Around 10 lbs. Thick leather and nice to look at. Same as a 300 dollar jacket at the bike shop. U cant go wrong. Jeff eureka ca.

Comment: Nice jacket for the money removeable liner nice. A little on the heavy side but nice it will take some time to break it in. But well worth it.

Comment: Im 6' 4" 220 and bought the 2X long. What a surprize it was to get something that fits my long arms and was thick enough to keep me very warm. The liner includes removable sleeves on mine and i love it. This Jacket is the best ive ever owned. Thank you
Comment: For the price, I don't think you find a leather jacket as good as this one. I am 6'4" and 180 lbs.- pretty thin. The sleeve length, quality of thick leather, and warmth from the liner are all perfect. I usually ride without the liner here in Oklahoma, and it is just right except on really hot days. The leather is much better looking in person than on this picture posted. It is typical black leather, not the super shiny crap it appears to be on here. It also lays right and isn't puffy looking like in the picture. I highly recommend for those between 6' and 6'5"ish with long arms.
Stillwater, OK
Comment: I normally wear an XL and ordered the same size hoping it would fit. Well, it fits fine and has the right extra arm length us tall guys need. It's a little heavy for Florida but has the vents so it should work out most of the year. Priced right.
Jason Bourne
Comment: I had just about given up finding a jacket for my husband when I found this jacket. He is 6'6" and about 245 with super long arms. All the jackets big enough in the arms and shoulders were super big at the waist and he'd ride along, flapping in the wind. This is a great jacket for the price, fits him nice. The arms are an acceptable length, I may have a tailor add a couple inches of black leather with a snap closure, but then again he has super long arms. Good quality, good price, fast shipping. You really have nothing to lose here, so give it a try.
Escondido CA
Comment: For the price this jacket is fantastic. I'm 6'7", 205 pounds. I normally wear a LT and that's what I ordered here and it fits well. The sleeves are long enough (and I have very long arms). I am thinner at the waist and broader in the shoulders and the lacing let you adjust for that. The quality of the leather and the stitching seem great. The laces themselves aren't wonderful, but you could replace them if you wanted. I would like the pocket openings to be a bit larger. I wouldn't object to more pockets. But I am happy with the purchase. Great value on a hard to find item.
David K
Comment: Nice, 6'3" 218# have had a small amount of time to wear. Fits better than any I tryed off the rack, only dislike is no flap over the zipper. No tine in the rain , don'tnknow if it wil leak. Nice

Comment: I think that this is a great coat. Well made, comfortable, sleeves and chest fit well, but it was more like a 3/4 length coat than a jacket. The bottom folded back up when I sat on my bike. I returned it. I hope they have one that is a jacket length.

Comment: I'm 6'3" 220 lbs. I have a long torse and arms. I purchased 2XL and it fits perfect!
The leather is very heavy and durable.
Great bang for the buck.
Wiesbaden, Germany
Comment: This is a very nice jacket with removable liner. The leather is better quality than the price suggests. The fit is great too. I am 6'3 and 210 lbs and the XL is perfect. The laces on the sides can be adjusted for a hooded sweatshirt on those colder rides. The vents worked awesome on a 90 degree ride I took while breaking it in this summer. I couldn't be more pleased. My wife thought I paid $300 and I had to show her the receipt to prove I only paid $99!!

Comment: Stats: Usually order Men's Tall 2XL, 6'2" Tall, 34" inseam, 250 lbs, medium torso (50" chest, 46" waist), looong arms, lots of upper body weight and like a tree trunk going down.
I've been having problems finding jackets and coats that fit properly..because things just arent made to fit the dwindling "American" market.
I read the reviews, ordered the 4XL Men's Tall. Was an excellent idea.
Perfect ! ! ! The coat is excellent quality, it's hardware is substantial and the leather is a medium gage which appears to be excellent.
The fit is very good...shoulders and chest perfect, a bit tight around the middle (not as trim as I could be) and finally...the sleeves are long enough to fit when I grab my handlebars.
The coat is tapered from the shoulders down, so if you have a bubble in the middle, it's going to feel a bit snug. I have boxers hands and they fit through the sleeves fine, but not with the sleeve zips down. Once the sleeve zips are down, perfect wrist fit. Not much of an internal thermal liner, but wouldnt really need one if layered underneath. Nice touch was the inclusion of a smooth liner on the body of the coat once the thermal liner is removed.
Already got caught in a downpour (the temp was around 45) and no, did not pull over.
Amazingly...not only was I warm, but I was dry. I WAS impressed. Be aware...this IS NOT a summer coat. If the temps reach 75 or above, your gonna cook.
Only gripes...front pockets are small, only one small interior pocket, and the zips for vents and pockets are from the top down...would have been better if they operated from the bottom up.
Things I would suggest...more interior pockets and larger pockets all around...zips from the bottom to top...adjustable neck collar...and some stealth reflective piping...would ditch the laces, but then if I had a bubble, would appreciate them...lol.
Delivery was fast and packaging, while minimal, was more than adequate.
Would I recommend this coat? Already have, and several recommendations went to other riders who saw it and said it was what they had been looking for.
One note: If your smart enough to order this jacket...before you wear it out...give it a good mink oil rub...I did and good thing....when I say downpour, talking about 1" to 2" per hour.

Comment: Nice well made jacket. I am usually a 2 xl I am 6 ft 2" 270 lbs I ordered the 3x & it was too tight on my arms & chest so I ordered a 4xl & hoping it will fit better. I will update once I get the new jacket

Comment: Ok I originally ordered a 3xl I am 6 ft 2 " 270 lbs & the arms were super tight & also the chest was tight. So I contacted the live chat & ordered the 4 xl. Well It fit's like a glove great jacket great price & Customer Service was a huge help getting my new order filled properly.This company is A+ in my book great customer service & also very fast delivery. I will be ordering a spring/summer jacket from them & any other item I will want for motorcycle riding.

Comment: I'm 6Ft 5in. Tall 260 pounds Fits great! Nice quality!
Comment: I am very happy with the quality, fit and price. This is a great deal. It will take a little time to soften up and break in but it is well worth it. Good looks and protection rolled into one.
Comment: Awesone jacket. I'm 6'6", 275 lbs, athletic build. The 3X is just long enough in the sleeves when I hang on my apes. Little too long in the body, but I didn't want to risk dropping a size and losing sleeve length. Ties on the side are great for those of us without spare tires. Overall great jacket for $130 - and it arrived in just a few days. I will definitely be ordering from Jafrum again.
Comment: Really amazing that such a quality product can be purchased at such a great price! I'm 6'3 230 and the 2XL jacket fits like a dream! Kudos to Jafrum for there ahead of schedule delivery too! I will definitely be purchasing again :)

Comment: Great leather, for the price!! The liner isn't outstanding, but... it's removable!!! Like the others have said before me, you may want to order a size larger than you normally would, it worked perfect for me. (6'4" 260, chest is exactly 44" I went 2XL) I would buy this again, and I would highly recommend it to you.

Comment: Excellent jacket fits well, is warm, I'm 6'2" and weigh 225, 37" sleeve, broad shoulder. Normally I wear xlt or xxlt, This time I ordered the 4xlt and took out the lining. Buy a larger size. Very good buy.

Comment: Been riding for 42 years, worn everything from polyester to denim, and from every company. I'm 6-6, 245 and this jacket fits like it was taylored. Jafrum's great to work with, small problem with zipper, quickly remedied, Best riding jacket I've ever owned, and worth over twice as much easily!!

Comment: I'm 6' 7" 240 lbs and for the price was skeptical about ordering this jacket. After reading the reviews I went ahead and ordered it and I'm glad I did. Heavy leather, quality/beefy zippers, liner included, and just an all around great jacket. Length was a little longer than I expected and the sleeves are just right. If you have doubts about buying this jacket, you will not be disappointed.

Comment: I am very pleased with this jacket. It looks great, feels great and fits great.
Comment: Although this was, yet another, great product from Jafrum, I had to return it because it was simply too big. However, the return process was fast and simple that I would not hesitate in ordering something else from this company.
Comment: I am6'1", approx 275 lbs.....I didn't need the tall jacket. I received the order very quickly..it was the right item, but I wasn't happy with the fit. I sent it back and ordered a different jacket...and I love it.

Comment: I bought this jacket for cool weather riding . It is very good quality heavy leather yet still comfortable. I have worn the jacket in as high as 70 degree weather with the front and back vents open but got hot quickly when I stopped the bike .You can't beat it for anywhere near the price.

Comment: I have been searching for a good fitting jacket the last three months. I' m tall and thin and was very with the way this jacket fit. The fit, length of sleeves and arm zippers is what I was looking foralong with all the pockets.

Comment: I, like many, was skeptical of the quality this jacket would be given the price, even despite the many positive reviews. After receiving it, I have to say it is everything everyone says it is and more. It is plenty long. I am 6'4" and 235 lbs. I ordered the 2X and it fits me like a glove. The leather is good quality and thickness, the stitching seems to be good, and the liner makes it versatile. It is good length on my arms with them fully extended to the handlebars. I am thoroughly impressed and will not hesitate to buy other products from Jafrum.
Monterey, CA
Comment: Based on many other reviews, I ordered up 2-3 sizes and was pleasantly surprised at how well this jacket fit. I hover between L tall and XL tall generally, so I ordered a 3XL tall and it fit perfectly.
Product photos lack detail on the side laces, which I did not care for. Removing the laces and carefully cutting the leather flaps off did the trick for me.
Can't beat the price for a hefty leather motorcycle jacket. Order up 2-3 sizes and you'll be pleased.
New York
Comment: Very happy with this jacket. I'm 6'5" and weigh 220 lbs. 2xl fit perfect! I highly recommend this jacket!
Comment: Very nice jacket, unfortunately they sent the wrong size, customer service was great, but they were out of the correct size when I got mine, would only refund, not reserve one for me. Now the price has gone up. Still a good deal on a very well made product. I only hope the price doesn't go up again before my size comes back in stock! Sizing seemed accurate.
Comment: I am 6'7" and 275lbs and this jacket fit me well and the sleeves are long enough to cover my wrists when I have my arms extended to my grips. I ordered the 3X and is a good fit with the liner in a bit loose without but not bad a 2X may have fit a bit snugger. Lacing on the side provides a snug fit to keep the draft out and the bottom from creeping up. Heavy duty leather and not as stiff as I thought a new jacket would be. Overall good choice and a great price,
David Schnefke
Comment: The "jacket" fits very good in the shoulders and arm length I'm 5' 10" 167 lbs. Standing the arm length is perfect. Going by other reviews I ordered the large tall. I would normally order a xl to get the arm length. As stated the fit is good in the arms and shoulders as well as the body. The bad is, as I had read in another review it has the length of a coat. Looking at the picture of the jacket the arms are longer than the body but this is not true to the actual product. The body is just as long as the arms. I admit this is designed for a sport bike so this may be ok but for a cruiser the length is too long. When you reach for the grips the sleeves pull up above the wrist not bad but not as expected. It seems to be in the "cut" of the body and sleeves. I'm going to keep the jacket just going to modify it a little bit
Buena Vista Colorado
Comment: I am 6'5", 225, athletic build, blue eyes (OK maybe that is irrelevant) and the XL tall jacket fits awesome. I was a bit hesitant to get this jacket because the picture does not do it justice, but decided for the price to give it a shot. I think this jacket looks great and is a very solid build. For the money, I haven't seen anything come close to this when looking in the shops. Built in CE rated armor in the shoulders and elbows would be great and I would probably pay some extra cash for that. But that being said, there is some reinforcement in the higher impact areas, and with thick leather, I think there is a good amount of protection anyway. I would highly recommend this jacket to anyone, especially for tall people with limited budgets, who are sick of cloths with sleeves and torsos that are too short.
Comment: I ordered my Jacket on sunday and got it on wednesday. fast shipping. the jacket has good weight to it. i have been wearing it in the mornings and its been like 30's to the 40's and it keeps me warm. even when its like 50 to 60 out side its not bad. Im 6'4" and I ordered one size bigger. Glad i did. GREAT JACKET for the price.

Comment: Great jacket for the price. My son bought his and I tried his on and loved it. Comfortable fit, good weight, durable (although I don't recommend testing it like I did) Would recommend this jacket to anyone who is tall and long armed.

Comment: Great Jacket, a little tight in the shoulder and arms, but otherwise great!.
Comment: I'm 6' 3" 240 lbs. with long arms and wanted to be sure the sleeves would be long enough. I ordered the 2XL and it fits perfect in the shoulders and sleeves, however it is a little long in the torso. The bottom of the jacket rolls up when I am sitting on my motorcycle. I can live with that. I would rather have that than too short sleeves. This is a great jacket for the price and seems to be well made. Also very versatile with the zip out liner.
Comment: A great jacket that is thin enough, but also long enough, to fit. I'm 6'3" so finding clothes that fit are a chore. It's removable lining also makes it wearable in a variety of temperatures.
Austin, TX
Comment: So far very happy, the tall fit is excellent, it looks better than i expected. I had to give the zipper a bit of soap to get it going, but it's fine now. The padding feels good, the vents rock,sleeves are perfect. I'm typically pretty leery about inter web purchases, but I have nothing negative to say. All good!

Comment: It's a nice jacket for the price. With the loner in, it's a warm jacket. Size is right on if you use the size chart. After a years use, the seams are starting to fray a little bit, otherwise I would have give it 5 stars
Comment: This jacket is awesome. I wear a "Tall" for most other jackets/shirts. This jacket is about 2 inches longer than any of my other jackets. It comes down to about the top of my pocket on my jeans. I do wish I would have just gotten the "normal" one but I really didn't want to mess around with sending it back. I also wear an XL but I ordered a 3XL and the fit is outstanding (other a being about 2 inches longer than I would want). I'm ride just about year around and I do stay fairly warm with the liner installed. Overall I really like it.
Comment: Sizes ran small. VERY SMALL. Would recommend ordering 2 sizes larger.
Well constructed but found it not as tall as I would have expected. In real life at 6'7" tall, found the sleeves short by 1-2" and length short by 2-4" Style was attractive and well manufactured. Leather appears durable.
Order process has mixed reviews. Initial order went well, was returned and wrong items were shipped, requiring yet another return shipment. Credit for incorrect items was processed promptly.

Comment: I'm 6'4" and 195lbs. I ordered a XL-tall and it was too small,mostly in the chest and arms. I returned it for a 2XL and it is much better. The sleves are a little short for me yet and the waist is too big(I don't have a belly).The length is too long for me as well.My heigth is in my legs. The quality is good on the jacket. The leather is stiff. I may use a leather softener on it.

Comment: I bought this for my 6'6", 275# son. I was skeptical that this jacket, even though advertised as tall, would be long enough for him. No worries though! It fits wonderfully! The sleeves have just enough extra length so when riding, his wrists are still covered. The jacket back covers the belt line and is a perfect length. The only downside is it tends to push up under the chin when sitting (when zipped). But he has rather large shoulders and arms so if you're thin it may not do this. The jacket is a bit stiff when first recieved but easily remedied with conditioner. The leather is thick and a nice lining makes it warmer, though still not warm enough to wear in the low 30's! This is a great jacket and should provide years worth of wear!
C. Myers
Comment: Wow! What an incredible jacket! The MJ470T is PERFECT if you are tall. I have 36/37" arm length and this jacket fits awesome. Finally I have a jacket with long enough sleeves without all the surplus room in the chest and gut. It would suffice with 37/38" arms too. I am 6' 4" and 200 lbs. with a 42" chest. The sizing chart recommends a size Large but I ordered XL and it fits perfect. I still have room to wear a hoody underneath as well. As far as quality, it is every bit as nice as my $500 Harley Davidson jacket which I am going to sell now. If I had one complaint it would be the jacket is a bit long in the torso but I can easily live with that. It may not be an issue for you though, as much of my height is in my legs and not my torso. If you are as tired as I am of buying jackets to big to accommodate sleeve length, then BUY THIS JACKET!! I am absolutely amazed with the fit and quality. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

Comment: my stats: 6'3" 230lbs
The jacket is quality made and very sturdy. It is warm with the liner in and the vents cool things down nicely. I am somewhat dissappointed in how it fits when sitting and with the sleeve length. It seems the only thing "tall" about this coat is the torso length. The torso of the coat is long which is nice when standing up but sitting on a bike, it pushes the coat into your neck. I just fold the bottom up and then it doesn't push the coat up as bad. I suspect this will improve with time as the coat wears in but very frustrating. The sleeve length however needs to be longer. If you have stock bars on your bike and don't have to reach at all for your bars, you will be happy with this coat. If you are a tall person with ape hangars (like me) you better have long gauntlet gloves because the sleeves are going to pull a quarter of the way down your forearm whenever you reach for your bars or anything else.... I won't complain too much just because it appears to be a quality coat with great features for a very small investment. I had a Harley brand tall coat that fit perfectly until I lost 85lbs. A replacement from Harley was going to be $550. I paid $139 for this coat. I will happily deal with the sleeves being a little short! But Jafrum if you're listening, you would have a PERFECT coat if you just took some of the length off of the bottom of the torso and added it to the sleeves! I'm more than happy with this purchase

Comment: This jacket is amazing, great extra protection where you need it. Breaks in fast and breathes well. Fit is snug so if your stomach is bigger than your chest keep this in mind. I'm 6'2" and 220 lbs and the large tall fits great. Best jacket for the money and great service.
The MJ470 is made of 1.2 -- 1.3mm top grain, naked cowhide leather and
features antiqued brass looking hardware. The fit is spot on if you are wearing
over a tshirt but you may want to order a size larger than your chest
measurement calls for if you plan on wearing a hoody or heavy liner. The Tall
size features longer arms and torso for taller riders. The regular size and tall
sized jackets have separate listings so pay special attention to be sure you get
the correct item on order. The main closure features a heavy duty metal zipper
and the neck has a 2 snap Euro style collar. The front of the jacket features
two zippered vents for added airflow and two zippered hand warmer pockets.
Adjustability is facilitated by these laced expanders on the sides and the
sleeves are equipped with zippered gussets for easy on and off. On the back of
the 470 you can see the expandable shoulder panels, the zippered exhaust vents,
and the quilted lower back pad. Opening the jacket up exposes the removable,
full sleeve quilted liner that is flanked on the left side by a snap pocket.
Removing the liner exposes a fixed nylon mesh liner that promotes airflow and

Cat Grooming
While cats usually take care of their own grooming needs, they are among the cleanest of house pets, they still need some grooming. Brushing, nail care, and hair-trimming are just 3 of the grooming responsibilities of a caring owner. Cats spend around 10% of their time cleaning themselves, mostly focusing on removing dirt, debris, and dead skin from their coat. But cats will still shed and therefore need help. Nail care is really for the benefit of owners as it helps to prevent cats from scratching furniture and people!
Cats tend to enjoy being brushed, especially if they're used to it. For this reason, it is recommended that you start brushing your cat daily from a very young age. This will help them grow accustomed to the grooming and will increase their enjoyment of the activity. If you try to brush an older cat, they may be scared or confused and this might lead to some defensive behaviour.
Brushing helps to keep your cat's hair shiny and free of tangles. As mentioned, some cats are tactile defensive. Simply put, they do not like being touched. For this reason, it is best to start brushing when they are young kittens so that brushing becomes normal to them. In addition, regular brushing helps to reduce the amount of tactile defensiveness in a cat. Brushing helps to distribute natural oils throughout the cat's hair which helps to keep it healthy, clean, and tangle free. In addition, brushing gives owner and cat an opportunity to bond and eventually most cats will enjoy this bonding experience.
Nail Care
Cutting your cat's nails is also very important and should be started when they are young kittens as well. Not only tactile defensive cats will resist nail cutting. All cats will find this strange and uncomfortable but if you start trimming nails from a young age they will grow believing this is a normal activity. Neglecting to cut your cat's nails will result in a few problems. Firstly, your cat will have to wear down its nails on its own. This means they will scratch furniture, carpet, and other viable places in order to wear down the nails. Also, if your cat's nails grow too long, they will curve and grow toward its paw. This can be extremely painful for your cat.
The best way to cut your cat's nails is to hold the paw and press the pad so the nails come out further. There is a quick (a pink vein) on the cat's nails that is quite sensitive so you'll only want to cut the tip of the nail. If you cut the quick, the cat will feel pain and will react making it more of a challenge to cut its nails the next time. Try to keep nail cutting sessions short. It is recommended to cut only one paw at a time, especially for difficult cats. If however your cat is calm and comfortable, it is acceptable to cut all nails. You might find that two people are better than one when cutting your cat's nails. It might be difficult to control your cat and cut it's nails at the same time so it would be beneficial to have one person holding your cat and one person cutting its nails.
Hair Trimming
Especially for cats with long hair, having regular cuts will help to prevent dirt from building up in their fur. Cats are usually very good at keeping their fur clean so biannual or quarterly cuts will be sufficient. Trimming also helps to prevent shedding.

What is your favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus is down by Lake Arthur, because it is always a good place to sit, relax, and de-stress after a busy day.
What about your favorite place in Spokane?
My favorite place in Spokane is Atticus Coffee & Gifts in downtown Spokane. I enjoy going there to study, get a cup of coffee and browse through all of the interesting trinkets they have.
Which class and/or professor have you enjoyed the most so far?
One of my favorite classes has been Foundations of American Education with John Traynor. Not only did he make the subject matter interesting, but he is such a down to earth professor and person, and it was very obvious that he cares a remarkable amount for his colleagues and students.
Give us a fun fact about you:
I can put my whole fist in my mouth!
What extra-curricular activity do you enjoy the most?
One of my favorite extra-curricular activities is Gonzaga University Specialized Recreation, or GUSR for short. It is a volunteer program that focuses on "creating programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities and creating a place that fosters equality and inclusion." Programs include Special Olympics, seasonal parties, fundraisers, a drama program and other special events. I enjoy working with and for individuals with exceptionalities and love the environment that GUSR offers, both to its participants and volunteers.
Even though you haven't left Gonzaga yet, what is your favorite memory so far?
My favorite memory at GU thus far has to be both participating in and leading the Freshman Retreat. The retreat was a great way to meet other freshmen, form bonds and have a ton of fun. As a leader the following year, I got to give back and contribute to a once in a lifetime experience for members of the freshmen class.

<info> element is used to specify some general information for the installer. It contains the following elements :
The name of the application that will be installed.
The version of the application
The subpath for the default of the installation path. This will be appended to the installation folder selected by the user and will be created during the installation if it does not exist. A variable substitution will be done at compile time and a maskable slash-backslash conversion will be done at run-time. If this tag is not defined, the application name will be used instead.
The URL of the application's official website.

Adding this element will cause every JAR file that you will add to your packs to be compressed using Pack200. As a special exception, signed JARs are not compressed using Pack200, as it would invalidate the signatures. Compressing makes the compilation process a little bit longer, but it usually results in drastically smaller installer files. The decompression is relatively fast. Please note that Pack200 compression is destructive, i.e., after decompression a JAR won't be identical to its original version (yet the code in the class files remains semantically equivalent).
If this element is included then a randomly named temporary directory will be created at the start of the install and deleted when the installation completes.
Adding this element will make the installer attempt to launch itself with administrator permissions. It also supports a condition attribute to refer to a condition ID so that the elevation is not always attempted (e.g., you may want to activate it only for Windows Vista). This is not supported on all platforms, in which case a message will be provided to the user before continuing the installation. You can disable this feature for the uninstaller by specifying

So let's say that my opponent (I refuse to acknowledge I'm married to her for this argument) has Stupid Station Eismette in play, as well as some unnamed OVERPOWERED Explorers, probably brought into play with stupid ULTIMA THULE. I play a Deranged Diva. I target her and drive Deranged Diva insane. She now has to make someone insane right? Even if all she has is a dumb Explorer that has no Willpower? The triggered ability targetted the player, NOT the character, so I'm hoping she, er, my opponent, doesn't have a peg leg to stand on.
EDIT: My opponent, thinking this is relevant information, wants people to know that this would not have changed the outcome of this game. He/she may be right; I still would've forfeited to Antarctic Explorers from Hell.

For anyone playing the long pad on hole B that doesn't think you can make it over the water you can always take your putter and lay up before throwing over the water. It's a little over 100 feet from the tee pad to the bench so there's room to lay up and play it safe.

Miami Hockey Postgame Notes
Miami vs. Ohio State
Friday, Mar. 1, 2013
Oxford, Ohio - Steve Cady Arena
- With a 3-0 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes Friday, Miami is now 21-9-5 overall and 16-7-4-4 in conference play. Friday was only the second game Miami has lost at home this year, the first being a 1-0 loss Dec. 8 against Lake Superior State. The RedHawks are now 11-2-3 at Steve Cady Arena this year.
- Miami was shut out for the sixth time this season Friday. The six shutouts are the second-most shutouts the RedHawks have suffered in program history. The last time Miami was shut out this season was Feb. 8 when Western Michigan won the contest, 2-0. Miami was blanked seven times during the 2001-02 season, which is the most in school history.
- Neither the RedHawks nor the Buckeyes were able to score during the first period. Friday marked the eighth time this year Miami and its opponent were both scoreless after 20 minutes. Miami is now 7-6-1 when tied after one period this year.
- Ohio State was able to strike first on a power play during the second period, finding the back of the net just over a minute into the period. It marked just the 14th time in 35 games this year the RedHawks failed to score first. Miami fell to 3-7-4 when its opponent scores first.
- The Buckeyes clinched the 3-0 win Friday in the last two minutes of the final period with an empty net goal. The empty-net tally was the first empty-net goal Miami has allowed all year.
- Miami held the Buckeyes to 16 shots on goal Friday, the second lowest amount the RedHawks have allowed this season. Miami permitted only 13 shots on goal against Michigan State Nov. 17.
- With its two penalty kills Friday (2-of-3), Miami has 142 kills out of 160 chances (88.8%) this year. This is the second time in three games Miami has allowed a power play goal, giving up two power play goals Feb. 22 at Lake Superior State. Miami's 142 kills are the most in the country while its 88.8 percent penalty kill ranks sixth nationally.
- Freshman goaltender Ryan McKay allowed two goals Friday, just his fourth time in 16 starts this year he has allowed more than one goal in a game. He still leads the country with a 1.12 GAA and .959 save percentage.
- The RedHawks are now 2-1-1 against the Buckeyes this season, with the all-time series record at 68-61-13. Miami's all-time home series record against Ohio State is now 41-23-4.
- The RedHawks still sit in first place in the CCHA and need a regulation or shootout win Saturday night in order to clinch the CCHA regular-season title. A loss or shootout loss by Western Michigan and Notre Dame would also give Miami the CCHA title outright.

Getting Started With Allergy
Allergy Home
An allergy is the immune system's excessive sensitivity and over-response to a harmless foreign substance in the body, such as plant pollen, a certain food, a drug or any one of many other substances. Whatever the foreign substance, or "allergen," the immune system responds as if to a real threat by triggering what is called an immune response, which in these cases is known as an allergic reaction.
Allergy Diagnosis
Visiting an allergist will help identify and confirm a diagnosis, but it's important to be prepared. During your initial consultation, your allergist will want to know about your medical history, so beforehand jot down or make a mental note of your symptoms, medications, and family history.
Allergy Treatment
From over-the-counter antihistamines and nasal rinses to prescription meds and corticosteroid sprays, a variety of pills, sprays, shots, and topical creams are used to treat allergies. In some cases, such as severe anaphylaxis, immediate treatments such as an EpiPen could save your life.
Allergy Management
Keeping allergy symptoms at bay can be quite a hassle. Luckily, there are many forms of allergy treatment and home remedies have all shown promise at some level. And simple precautions will enable you to enjoy dining out without worrying about an allergic reaction.
Home Allergens
Your allergies may not be the first thing you think about when choosing a new lampshade or paint for a room, but the way you decorate your home and organize your belongings can play a major role in the severity of your allergy symptoms.

Party Pictures
Jet setters and art-world heavyweights, not monsters or black cats, showed up for the opening of "Rashid Johnson: Message to Our Folks," Apr. 14-Aug. 5, 2012, organized by Julie Rodrigues Widholm at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago on Friday the 13th, 2012.
The MCA can boast of presenting the first major museum exhibition devoted to the artist (b. 1977), whose success has included shows in respectable venues like Hauser & Wirth, New York; the 54th Venice Biennale (2011); Massimo De Carlo, Milan (2010); David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles; and Thelma Golden's "Freestyle," at the Studio Museum in Harlem.
But success has its down side -- someone is always there to rain on your parade. New York art critic Roberta Smith went on the record to imply that, due to his newfound glory, Johnson's work "has become slicker and emptier, losing its rough edges and layered meanings." I didn't see the New York show, but I did find Johnson's ten-year survey at the MCA to be visually stunning, surprisingly humorous and extremely meditative. It includes the new work -- monumental installations made of branded red-oak flooring, defaced mirrored mosaics and combines of viscous wax, black soap and shea butter.
For a short interview with the artist, check out this nine-month-old vid from Art21, titled Rashid Johnson Makes Things to Put Things on.

But the Chiefs scores 21 second half points to capture a 31-7 victory over the Giants. The win pushes Kansas City to 4-0 for the first time since 2003.
Andy Reid's squad entered the day with the best turnover differential in the NFL while New York (0-4) had coughed up the ball nine times entering Kansas City.
The Chiefs did finally surrender a fumble while Alex Smith tossed two interception, but the defense forced the Giants to commit three of their own.
Smith completed 24 of 41 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns, the first to Sean McGrath in the second quarter. It was the first career touchdown for McGrath, who got the start in light of an ailing receiving corps.
Defensive back Brandon Flowers did not play due to a knee injury, giving Dunta Robinson his first start of the regular season. Victor Cruz burned him shortly after McGrath's touchdown for a 69-yard score.
Ryan Succop booted a 51-yard field goal to give Kansas City a 10-7 lead at the break.
Dexter McCluster lit a spark into a lackluster Arrowhead Stadium late in the third quarter with an 89-yard punt return to put the Chiefs up 17-7.
Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe hauled in Smith's other touchdown tosses to put the game out of reach in the final frame.

Loud "kiais" will echo from the Kinston High School gymnasium Saturday as hundreds of competitors participate in the March Madness Open Karate Championship.
Kinston's Little Union Academy of Martial Arts will face students of all martial arts styles and ages and from as far away as Maryland.
It is expected to be another successful year for the event — a full house — as it has been for each of the last nine years, according to Little Union owner Joseph L.Jones.
"We get results from our work," Jones said of the competition that is partly funded by the city. "What we do mainly is to try to build or create an activity in Kinston that is positive, that children feel a part of and that makes families feels connected."
The Little Union Academy is a martial arts school on Queen Street serving 40 children as young as 3 years old.
Part of the proceeds raised Saturday will go to St. Jude's Children Research Hospital.
Jones, a Kinston native, modeled the school's mission after his father's vision of serving children. His dad died in 1982, leaving behind a church in the Lincoln City community bearing the name Little Union Mission.
"He was on a spiritual journey helping kids," Jones said. "(I used) the name Little Union and did what I know, which is martial arts."
Jones' interest started as a child when he wanted to be a boxer. When he went to sign up for classes, a loud "kiai" diverted his attention. He was able to look into the adjacent classroom to see a man flying through the air to break bricks — and that's where it began for him.
Jones has trained in areas of martial arts from Tai Chi to Moo Duk Qwan. As a master in Moo Duk Quan, he centers today's program around the "universal" message of love, saying the children's exposure to martial arts influences good behavior and character.
"I find that most of them like things that challenge them in a positive way," Jones said. "Martial arts is a challenge, it challenges their physical self and their emotional self, (and) it challenges their spiritual self. It just creates in them a desire to be stronger."
Saturday's March Madness karate competition has excited the children, some of whom have had the opportunity to travel to Atlanta to watch tournaments.
"They are fired up," Jones said. "If you start them young, training and discipline will grow up in them. They are on fire."
Saturday's events will include an opening ceremony, and Jones said most of his students will be competing in the championship.

The mentoring organization application deadline for the Google Summer of Code 2011 is March 11. We have had some really excellent contributions to JikesRVM come out of previous Summers of Code, and we intend to apply again. For this we need a strong set of proposals, so please take the time to look at the ones below and offer some more.
The projects are organised into the major components of Jikes RVM that they effect: Garbage Collector (MMTk), Compilers and the Runtime System. We also have other projects that relate to Jikes RVM.
NOTE These proposals are provisional and may change, be removed or more may be added.
Although this list might look quite long, it is largely a copy of last year's proposals. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE MORE.
Garbage Collector (MMTk) proposals
Concurrent Garbage Collectors
MMTk has a basic concurrent garbage collector and Laurence Hellyer added Sapphire as part of GSoC 2010. However, we would like to have more, for example, Concurrent immix, the Doliguez-Leroy-Gonthier algorithm (POPL93\, POPL94, ISMM00), Azatchi et al (OOPSLA03), or mostly concurrent (Boehm91, Barabash et al 2005).
Interested mentors: Tony Hosking, Erez Petrank
Generational Collector Organisation
Currently, the generational collectors in Jikes RVM use en masse promotion, i.e. all surviving objects in the nursery are promoted to the mature generation. Other VMs have adopted more complex generational organisations that require objects to survive more nursery collections before they are promoted. For example, HotSpot divides the young generation into an Eden (where objects are created) and Survivor semispaces. Implementations for functional languages have typically organised generations into steps. This project would implement some of these organisations.
Interested mentors: Richard Jones
Garbage Collection Visualisation
The GCspy framework has become slightly out-of-date and needs improving [RVM-388].
Interested mentors: Richard Jones
The Compressor Mark-Compact Garbage Collector
This project would add the [Compressor|http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1133255.1134023] Mark-Compact algorithm to MMTK's suite of collectors, starting with a stop-the-world implementation. [RVM-401|http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/RVM-401]
Interested mentors: Richard Jones
The MMTk test harness tools
There are several possible projects here:
- Implement a weak memory model, and/or tools for checking data races in
the simulated memory.
- Implement a mechanism for running Java applications through the harness.
The most tractable approach might be to use bytecode rewriting to manage
the simulated MMTk heap as a shadow of the Java heap.
- New invariants/checks/tests to detect errors in GC implementations. This could be motivated by a GC implementation project (eg MC^2).
Interested mentors: Robin Garner
Compiler proposals
Port of the opt compiler to x86_64
The opt compiler is completely ported to ppc64, so this would require a similar piece of work for the x86 code generator. If the baseline compiler is working on x86_64, then the assembler work has already been done, so porting the opt compiler actually should be entirely doable by someone who is comfortable with lowlevel x86/x86_64 debugging.
Improved register allocator for x86 and x86_64
The current linear scan allocator works best with register rich architectures. This project would look at providing a better allocator for architectures that provide fewer registers.
Interested mentors: Tony Hosking, Eliot Moss
The CoGenT project at UMass aims to make it easier to generate compiler components given descriptions of compiler IRs and of target machines. One of its tools is a generator of instruction selectors; we call it GIST. We have GIST somewhat working to generate the target dependent part of the Jikes RVM Baseline compiler.
- Rounding out automatic generation of the instruction selector ("code generator") for the
Baseline compiler.
- Developing automatic generation of BURS rules (which are quite similar to the patterns that
GIST finds anyway) for the Jikes RVM Opt compiler.
We would first create code generators for existing targets (x86 and PowerPC) to validate the work, and could then proceed to new target (64-bit x86, and look at new platforms, though a complete platform port has somewhat broader scope).
- Generating peephole optimizers using GIST is also a possibility, though at this stage perhaps more challenging.
- Creating a quality "generic" register allocator for the Opt compiler that a GIST-related tool could target would be an excellent project. This could work along the lines of "A Generalized Algorithm for Graph-Coloring Register Allocation" by Smith, Ramsey, and Holloway (PLDI, 2004), possibly with coalescing as well.
- It would also be attractive to follow a similar plan for generating linear-scan register allocators for the Jikes RVM Opt compiler from machine descriptions.
- Finally, GIST, augmented with suitable cost models for each target, could be used to generate
instruction schedulers automatically.
Any of these projects would advance both Jikes RVM and the CoGenT tools.
Interested mentors: Eliot Moss and Chip Weems
Object splitting
This project involves a profiling infrastructure to measure field hotness, changes to the JIT compilers to deal with accesses to cold fields, and changes to the garbage collector(s) to allocate cold fields out of the way of hot objects. Given such an infrastructure, future work could then study alternative implementations, or ideas such as the lazy allocation of the cold fields.
Interested mentor: Matthias Hauswirth
Runtime Services
Extending VM Magic
Jikes RVM uses an extended variant on Java, which includes special types and intrinsic methods that are essential to the internals of the VM but that cannot be expressed in regular Java. For example, we implement an
Address type, which corresponds roughly to C's
void*. This type has a magical size (the size of an architectural word), and magic semantics (for example you can de reference it and even prefetch on it). None of these semantics could be implemented with regular Java.
An important feature of VM Magic which has not been properly implemented is compound types (roughly equivalent to C's
struct types). Such types would be very useful within Jikes RVM because they represent compound types without the overhead and restriction of an object header. This project will implement compound types for Jikes RVM.
A useful reference is the 2009 paper describing VM Magic, including some of these unimplemented features ([available here|http://cs.anu.edu.au/~Steve.Blackburn/pubs/abstracts.html#vmmagic-vee-2009]).
Interested mentors: Steve Blackburn and Daniel Frampton
Support (a subset of) the JVM Tool Interface (JVMTI)
The [JVMTI|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jvmti/jvmti.html] is large. This project would concentrate on providing support for GC-related JVMTI functionality.
Suggested by: Suriya Subramanian
Interested mentors: Steve Blackburn and Richard Jones
Support for jmap, jhat, jstack
This project would provide support for JVM debugging facilities such as [jmap|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/share/jmap.html] which dumps an application's heap, [jhat|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/share/jhat.html] which examines the dumped heap, and [jstack|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/share/jstack.html] which dumps an application's stack.
Suggested by: Suriya Subramanian
Interested mentors: Steve Blackburn
Integration with Maxine VM's Inspector
The Maxine Inspector [http://wikis.sun.com/display/MaxineVM/Inspector|http://wikis.sun.com/display/MaxineVM/Inspector] plays many roles:
- object, class, and method browser;
- code views include disassembled machine code, disassembled bytecode, and source;
- low-level debugger (imagine gdb or dbx) with visual displays of threads, registers, stacks, * stack frames, thread local values, breakpoints, memory watchpoints, etc.;
- intermediate representation debugger; etc.
This project would provide an interface to the Inspector.
Suggested by: Suriya Subramanian
Interested mentors: Steve Blackburn
Probes for DTrace
DTrace allows user-space code to add so-called USDT (User-level Statically Defined Tracing) probes (see example below). It would be useful to be able to use DTrace to correlate system behavior (e.g. scheduling, thread migration, ...) with behavior of the Jikes RVM (e.g. locking, GC, ...).
Interested mentors: Matthias Hauswirth
Other proposals relating to Jikes RVM
Get the new DaCapo benchmarks (dacapo-9.12-bach) running on Jikes RVM.
A number of the new DaCapo benchmarks don't run on Jikes RVM. This project would be to figure out why each failing program is failing and get make fixes to Jikes RVM and/or its class libraries to make the programs work. This would be of significant value to the Jikes RVM research community.

Everyday I am flooded with reports about how the iPad 2 is going to have a camera. Every report seems to have gotten hold of some blueprint of the new iPad that is so "top secret" that it makes it sound like they had to break into Fort Know to get a hold of it. I know that trying to be the first to identify all of Apple's new technology is very important to some people, but recently I thought "do I really care if the iPad has a camera".
Let's be honest people, if you have an iPad, you probably are sporting some type of smart-phone or iPod Touch to go along with it. My guess is that 99% of people who jump in line to buy the iPad 2 when it is released will already have some form of mobile devices that takes decent pictures. So, why does it matter that the iPad 2 will have a camera? Odds are that the image quality is not going to be much better than your phone or other device, if it is even better at all.
Personally, the appeal of an iPad is not so I can capture once-in-a-lifetime images that happen while I am least suspecting. If that does happen, I'll have my phone with me, so it will be no big deal. An iPad however, is the larger equivalent of my iPhone, and a slightly smaller equivalent of my laptop. Do I care that my laptop doesn't take pictures? No, because I don't use my laptop for those things. I've never been driving along when I came upon a beautiful sunset and thought "better get out my laptop to take a picture", nor will I do the same with an iPad. That beautiful sunset is captured in by my iPhone, which fits nicely in my pocket, and is easy to access and use.
So, while I am sure that the iPad 2 is going to be an awesome advancement of the iPad, I couldn't care less about whether or not it boasts a camera. Frankly, I think it is a waste of technology and could be better fashioned with something more useful, maybe a bottle opener or a winch. You give me an iPad that opens my beer/soda while I'm using it, I'll be an Apple fan for life. Regardless, I'll probably be one of the first in line when the iPad 2 comes out, but not for the camera, just because I am a nerd like that. So, please stop filling my news feed with information about the iPad 2's camera, and fill it with something of importance, like Sarah Palin's social life.

This review is from White Sticker Project Paper 3383:
I use the sticker project paper for a variety of projects. I've used it for large mailing labels, sticky name tags, shape stickers, accents for scrapbooking, miscellaneous odd shaped labels, file cabinet drawer contents, to label tool drawers in my shop, miniature labels for my model railroading buildings and signs, etc. It is a versatile product with many uses. The paper takes color well. It works much like Avery #8255.
This review is from White Sticker Paper 53202:
My family calls me the Craft Queen as I am always working at something. I use the White Sticker Paper for everything! I stamp on it and apply it to home-made cards, I let the grandkids decorate it and we make magnets, I use whole sheets for placing on the front of file folders to inventory what is inside and many, many other things. One box goes a long way!
This review is from Magnet Sheets 3270:
The magnets are excellent for labeling a lot of things. I use them in a warehouse to label locations and product. Very easy!
This review is from White Sticker Paper 53202:
I love these! Simply scan in your child's original artwork and you can make stickers. Simply resize the artwork to use on cards, gift tags, bookmarks, postcards, envelopes, thank you cards and so much more.
This review is from Magnet Sheets 3270:
I wanted to make coffee airpot labels that we could update with the date and the time the coffee was brewed. The solutions online were expensive and unattractive. So I created my own design in Microsoft Publisher and printed it on these Avery 3270 Magnet Sheets and laminated the front with Avery 73601 Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets. I bought some China marking pencils (used to be called grease pencils) to write the date and time on the labels. The labels look great, and are easy to update (just wipe off the old date and time with a paper towel).

During Diana M.'s first visit to the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan, she met Banksy, a small, lively pup she first saw on our website. Soon, Banksy joined her family, and he fit right in. Diana shared the following story with us:
We wanted a companion for our current dog Oliver, who is also a rescue. We also felt it was important to adopt and wanted to give a dog in need a good home.
Banksy by far was our favorite from the beginning. He was a bit bashful, but after seeing him at the ASPCA we knew we wanted him. We talked about it often during the week and, the following weekend, we returned with my resident dog, a Dachshund and Beagle mix named Oliver, to ensure that it would be a good match.
Banksy and Oliver hit it off immediately, and we fell in love. We knew we wanted to take him home right away. The Adoption Center staff was extremely personable, helpful and knowledgeable. It was evident that Banksy was very much loved and cared for, and that the first priority of the staff was to ensure that he had a good home.
Bansky adjusted to his new home quickly. By the second day, he was accepting treats from us, and it was clear he was feeling more and more at home. Once he got to know us, he was extremely affectionate. He likes to jump on us all the time and gives tons of licks and kisses.
Oliver and Banksy are great companions; they've even switched beds and chew toys and love to run outside together. As Oliver is a bit older, I think it makes him very happy to have playful Banksy as a companion.
Thank you SO much for adopting... two!!! Your family looks so wonderful and I am blessed to have read your story! Your kids look just so happy... THIS makes me thrilled!! Thanks and God bless you all!!
You have two perious babies, they are blessed to have you and you are to have them. People like you make this world such a better place. I am happy for your Oliver he has a little friend God bless all of you guys!!!
May God bless you and your family. What kind hearts you have to take in another rescue, and how nice that they have each other. Dogs are social creatures, and there should always be 2, if possible. You can see the love that you give them in their faces. May God continue to bless you so that the dogs have long lives with you.
AWESOME! (YOU and the dogs!) I have 3 rescues - Love them all!
Congrats on your new addition!!! You look like such a happy family! Glad Banksy and Oliver have each other!
I am so happy that your doggies hit it off so well! Ya'll are very special people, thank you for the smile!
Congratulations Bansky and family!
Thank you Diana and your family for adopting that cute lil guy and sharing your sweet family with all of us.

Living in the "yes" opens doors, big doors.
John Dahlem lived in the yes when he volunteered for the Army and was awarded the Bronze Star during the Vietnam War.
He lived in the yes when he earned a doctorate, became a teacher, a decorated high school wrestling coach and served as an Anaheim principal.
And he sure lived in the yes the last decade. After climbing the highest mountains on the world's seven continents, making his way on foot to the North Pole and then this month to the South Pole, Dahlem is now the 31st person in the world and the oldest person to complete what's called the "Explorer's Grand Slam."
The 70-year-old climber's secret to survival? Staying grounded.
• • •
A man more about character than conquering, Dahlem describes his outdoor skills as those of a "rank amateur."
While Dahlem, who climbs Baldy in winter, is hardly an "amateur," his philosophy is critical. It means he trains hard, knows his gear and is careful selecting his outdoor partners. It's called managing risk and is about more than mountains.
"Being scared," he explains, "keeps you on top of your game."
Dahlem also dismisses completing the Explorer's Grand Slam, asking, "Who really cares?" and adding, "No one's heard of it."
His assessment of the little-known Grand Slam is correct. After all, who in their right mind would want to go out of their way to endure what Dahlem has?
OK, there are some of us.
As we talk, the skin on Dahlem's fingers is still peeling from his eight-day expedition to the South Pole which saw temperatures of minus-45 degrees.
Yes, that's about 100 degrees colder than today's outside temperature in toasty Orange County.
Despite tingling fingers, Dahlem is fortunate. One of the members of his team suffered frostbite. It's likely he'll lose several fingers.
Dahlem feels terrible for the guy. But he's seen far worse. He was a company commander in Vietnam during the height of the war when a rocket-propelled grenade hit his patrol boat. I've known Dahlem for more than a decade, and he's never mentioned the Bronze Star or the battle. He just says he was "a regular GI Joe doing his job."
It's not that Dahlem is scarred by war. Like most vets, he simply left the war 10,000 miles away. Despite his seemingly macho-man accomplishments – like many living risk takers – Dahlem is exceptionally humble.
• • •
Dahlem tells me he never set out to complete the Explorer's Grand Slam. In fact, he never set out to climb the Seven Summits.
He simply set a goal, reached it, and then looked for something else. For Dahlem climbing – and this is key – is much like life: "One step at a time."

Do you think that just because we don't have a theory explaining consciousness that that means we won't have such a theory in the future?
Personally i dont believe such a theory will come. Consciousness and physical properties share virtually no similarities (expressing conscious experiences in physical terms results in meaningless statements: how much does the number 9 weigh? How heavy is pain? Etc.), so i dont know why people so readily accept that both are the same. If i told you that a rock is actually a dog, would you believe it? Some people use the word "physical" as a sort of containerterm that they shove everything into, but really it is very specific and it is determined by that which physics measures and identifies. As it stands, consciousness cannot be measured at all. In fact when we talk about "measuring" we are talking about empiricism, which is the basis of all science. Empiricism means "to experience", which happens to be what consciousness is.

text: Two CareFlight helicopters were dispatched from Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton, to the scene of single car accident Wednesday just after 4 p.m. at the intersection of Houston and Patterson-Halpin roads. A boy is being placed into the first helicopter before it took off for the hospital. A second boy was loaded into the second helicopter. According to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, the boys — one believed to be 9-years-old and the other 19 — appear to have been ejected from the vehicle. The 9-year-old boy was transported to Dayton Children's Hospital. The teenager was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. The driver of the vehicle, Leslie Gough, 44, of Sidney, was transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital, Sidney, by Houston Rescue Squad. Assisting at the scene was Sidney Fire Department and Lockington Fire Department. Preliminary reports show that Gough was driving a PT Crusier and was westbound on Houston Road. He approached the intersection of the road and the vehicle went off the right side of the road and started sliding into the ditch. The vehicle re-entered the roadway and overturned. It then slid off the left side of the road and struck a tree. Gough told deputies that another vehicle was southbound on Patterson-Halpin Road and pulled from the stop sign in front of him. The accident remains under investigation.

Plays like a BIG illusion for large or small audiences! The Glass Pyramid lets you produce FOUR DIFFERENT items, one after another! Produce flowers, silks, colorful balls, piles of candy, even a live bird! The Glass Pyramid even INCLUDES eight pop balls and two sets of flowers!
Show that the Pyramid is empty. Place the Pyramid on the base, and at your command, the Pyramid is INSTANTLY filled with colorful flowers, balls, or a live animal. Remove the items from the base, show the Pyramid and base again empty, and again instantly fill the Pyramid with another load of colorful items. You can produce up to FOUR LOADS of items!
Think about producing colorful items (like flowers, silk streamers, etc.) to fill your performance area with exciting color. Ideal for producing message silks, such as the Happy Birthday silk, the Thank You silk or The End silk. Also great for large silk items like the Huge Production Silk.
Or use the Pyramid to produce candy and small party favors- four different assortments, produced one after another! This box will hold a LOT!
And it's SO easy! You don't need an assistant to operate the Glass Pyramid. It is deceptive even under strong light or daylight. Can even be performed surrounded!
