I looked at the credit card statement as the bright winter snow came down outside my kitchen window.
"What are all these charges?" I asked my wife as she was preparing cream of celery soup for a cold winter's day.
"Those are Facebook charges," she said as she continued to chop up celery for the broth. She didn't even look my way, bat an eye or even act like they were anything out of the ordinary. "Did you find the charge on there you needed?" she asked as she continued on task.
"Yeah, it's right here in the middle of the page," I said kind of astounded by what else was on the page. There was line after line of small charges which had Facebook listed by them. There were also a couple of lines that said Amazon. They were bigger charges. The charge I had been looking for was buried in the middle of what appeared to be an e-commerce directory of companies. As I looked I wasn't getting mad; I was more, well, huffy with a tone of incongruity.
That's me, incongruous.
"I thought all this Facebook stuff was free," I said.
"It is," my wife said as she continued to look down at the long stocks of celery which at by this point I thought she had chopped too many of for an afternoon soup for two. "It's just stuff associated with the games that we play on it."
"We?" I asked.
She stopped chopping and held the knife in her hand and looked at me. I thought I might get my name as a victim on the six o'clock news if I said another thing.
"When you play games on Facebook you can get tools and other things to help you along," she said as she started chopping again. "I utilize some of those."
Well the bill couldn't have added up to more than a few bucks for the month, but suddenly I figured out why Mark Zuckerberg was a billionaire many times over. I mean the last time I heard there were something like 800 million people using the service.
Then I ventured farther into the dark jungle that is the tangle of Farmville or whatever it is that she plays.
"So this morning you were telling me that you had earned $2.5 million of funny money on that game you were playing," I said. "Too bad that isn't real money for the investment."
She kept on chopping. Pieces of celery were piled up on the counter where celery should never be.
"I thought you knew," she said.
Again I wasn't mad; in fact I thought it was kind of funny.
"You tell no one about this." she said as she filled the soup pan. "I don't want anyone to know."
This would make good column fodder, I thought, but then I had to decide if I wanted to live to my next birthday. Or more likely to the end of the week.
After dinner one of my wife's friends came over to do her hair. I went out to feed our various animals and as I came back in I looked at her friend as they talked about life in general. It was too tempting. When there was a lull in the conversation I had slipped something in.
"I have a secret," I said to her friend. I could feel my wife's Superman like x-ray vision burning a hole through me.
"Don't you dare!" she said as she sat there unable to move as her friend stuck all this gook on her head.
"What secret?" her friend asked in a sly way.
"I just have a secret," I said.
"What is the secret?" she asked my wife.
Before I could hear anything else that went on I walked out of the house and did some other things. I gazed longingly at the house, wondering if I would ever be able to sleep there again. When I came back in the secret had been revealed and things seemed calm.
"I know your secret," said her friend.
"Oh she told you," I said, kind of self satisfied. I had revealed the truth without really telling it.
"She worked it out of me," said my wife. "You knew she would!"
"Hey those charges are nothing," said her friend pointing to the statement on the kitchen island. "I heard a couple arguing the other day in my neighborhood about how much they had spent on Facebook and it was 10 times more than what's on that bill."
"Are you kidding?" I asked.
She shook her head. And I shook mine too. Unbelievable.
It just goes to show that there is no free lunch, especially if you want dessert.
Nor any completely free Facebook games either.

My boy fancied having a go on Daddy's new bike and I must say he looks dashingly dapper in doing so.
It's a wonderful bike - a Velorbis Scrap Deluxe, with Fat Frank tyres from Schwalbe and Brooks saddle and all the trimmings.
Very few bikes turn heads in Copenhagen - we've seen it all before - but riding around on this beauty draws stares and comments from passersby, whether on foot or on wheel.
We've plugged this bike before, as we as doing a spot on Velorbis in our Bikes We Like category.

Relax deeply with the 7-11 Breathing Exercise
Learn how to beat anxiety and reduce stress, quickly and naturally
When anxiety or stress begin to rise, wouldn't it be amazing to be able to relax yourself deliberately every time? Just imagine how confidently you could approach difficult situations if you knew you could use a failsafe breathing exercise to calm down quickly.
Reliable relaxation
The 7-11 breathing exercise works along a simply yet powerful principle. When your anxiety levels rise, your body experiences a cascade of changes. The very first is your breathing pattern. Basically, your body begins to take in more oxygen in case it has to fight or run away.
With the 7-11 breathing exercise you will reverse this process, returning your body and mind to a calm and relaxed state astonishingly quickly. And the more you practice it by listening to this mp3 hypnosis session, the quicker you will be able to relax.
Whether you currently experience more anxiety, stress or panic than you want or you simply want a tool to relax at will, you will find the 7-11 breathing exercise highly effective. You can use it to fall asleep at night, to get more focus when you are working, or as 'first aid' in a stressful situation for example, to stop a panic attack in its tracks.
Once you have been using 7-11 breathing for a while you will react to stress by instinctively doing your 'relaxation breathing'. And then you'll find you just don't get as stressed any more.

By MICHAEL J. FERCIKWellington
I have for the last 10 months read with dismay and disgust the continuous extreme environmental assault on the development of our Nine Mile Canyon gas field.
Like every citizen of Carbon County, I have a personal stake in the revenue generated from the Stone Cabin Seismic testing and production of natural gas.
During the 1980s, I had the opportunity to walk over and work all of the concerned area seismographing land forms through the use of portable methods.
We did not find any evidence of petroglyphs and dwellings on top of the mountain, and neither have government or private archaeologists. The Native American Cultures made their homes in the bottom of Nine Mile Canyon and Range Creek, not on top of the mountain. But on top of the mountain is where the Stone Cabin seismic lines and gas wells are proposed, as this is where the bulk of the world class gas field lies.
In December of 2003, we obtained Elk Cow permits for the Nine Mile - Range Creek area.
About a dozen or so days were spent huntinq between Harmon Canyon - Cottonwood Canyon - and the Green River. This gave me a first hand look at the development of this mountain top gas field.
The Bill Barrett Corporation has done an impressive job of laying natural gas pipelines across the edge of the gas field. On the few gas wells that have been drilled, disturbance has been minimal with excellent reclamation.
Every citizen of Carbon County should be concerned about the article in the Sun Advocate on May 27 entitled "Nine Mile Placed on NTHP Endangered List."
The article stated that a Nine Mile Canyon landowner submitted the application to the National Trust for Historic Land Preservation for listing Nine Mile Canyon as one of the top 11 endangered sites in the United States.
NTHP's surrogate excuse of "the area is now being threatened by increased tourism, recreation and demands for domestic energy production" is hogwash, just as the surrogate excuse of "heavy industrial trucks rumbling through the narrow canyons in close proximity to fragile Native American rock art", will somehow destroy it.
What NTHP is really saying in the article is Carbon County and BLM has failed at managing the Nine Mile Canyon Area.
This is not fact and is far from the truth.
Don't you just love the way extreme environmentalists twist opposing facts into myths that support their agenda? Do they think we are gullible enough to accept the myth that driving on a preexistent road will somehow destroy the Native Indian sites?
Another myth is that using shot hole explosives or vibrator trucks on top of the mountain will somehow destroy cultural sites in the bottom of Nine Mile Canyon.
I believe that NTHP's listing of Nine Mile Canyon as one of the top 11 endangered sites in the United States is based on ludicrous myths that have no merit of fact.
One important factor in this circumstance is that Carbon County has in effect a county wide master land use plan that is legally binding on all private and public lands within Carbon County.
What the master plan does is legally guarantee that Carbon County has a seat at the table and a say in all developments, designations and classifications of all land within the boarders of Carbon County.
The National Trust for Historic Land Preservation needs to be informed of the law and be held accountable for trying to circumvent the law. Carbon County should not let this designation fly in the wind as it will come back and haunt us down the road.

2014.12.05 – Lately I've been having this dream…on 2014/12/05 at 11:16 pm
I don't know what's been going on. Stress? I dunno.
I don't know what's been going on. Stress? I dunno.
That's right! What Errant Beast…? has finally come to fruition over the past 4 or 1,394,523 months (I lost track, but it's probably on the lower end, though it feels like the upper spectrum of the whole mess). Here's a little video about the differences between what I'd had on my STORE!!! page before and what's up now:
Now, what I need from you: buy stuff! As of right now I'm unemployed and sunk about $120 into this. I'm hoping to make $20-30 if I sell every last one of these at $10 a pop (plus $2 for shipping). Paypal's gonna take a fair share of any would-be profits, so I'm hoping I won't end up in the red (or whatever ominous color is used to denote financially unwell situations) when everything's said and done.
To those who've bought, thank you and I'll have those shipped out to you as soon as possible. I really couldn't have done any of this without the support of everyone who visits this site, especially if they take it upon themselves to purchase stuff or (better yet) donate money. I'm overwhelmingly grateful for every donation I receive. u_u
This is the short stop-motion animation my roommate Jarad and I did on June 30th.
So apparently What Errant Beast just got featured on Drunk Duck! It's so cool to see this whole "web comic" junk I decided to do on a whim one day actually taking form! I mean, first I got friends to see it, then some random people online, got some donations from friends (and benevolent strangers), got to know a sparse amount of web cartoonists and even got a few links on some sites I admire, including Shrub Monkeys, Facebrooks and Moore Sketches! Really, it's touching to see how this has come so far in just barely over 6 months, especially with my wishy-washy style changes from computer to ink to simple colors to FULL color. (Hopefully this'll stick, but who knows? I feel guilty for being so inconsistent.)
So, to all visitors from anywhere on the interwebs, hello and thank you for your support. Tell your friends and, well… stay classy.

Perhaps the most contentious topic in public education today is the use of public money in private and parochial schools, usually through a voucher, tax credit, or tax deduction. For some, these options threaten the very existence of the public education system. For others, these options provide greater educational opportunities for students and, by introducing competition into the public education system, have the potential to improve its performance.
While highly controversial, these options continue to gain traction in statehouses across the country and in 2011 alone, seven new private school choice programs were enacted and 42 states introduced legislation to expand current programs.
The controversy surrounding these programs often centers around the debate on whether religiously-affiliated private schools are permitted under the U.S. and individual states' constitution to receive public funding. However, with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in June 2002 that the publicly funded voucher program in Cleveland, Ohio, does not violate the separation of church and state principle, the constitutionality of publicly funded vouchers at the federal level has been solidified. Conversely, state constitutions vary widely in how they address the flow of public dollars to private and parochial schools, thereby leaving the constitutionality of publicly funded vouchers at the state level an open question in many places.

Mets sign LHP Aaron Laffey to minors deal
The Mets announced they have signed LHP Aaron Laffey to a Minor League contract with an invite to Spring Training.
Laffey, 27, made 22 appearances and 16 starts for the Blue Jays in 2012, going 4-6 with a 4.56 ERA. He allowed 37 walks and 17 home runs while striking out 48 in 100 2/3 innings. He made 11 starts for Triple-A Las Vegas as well, going 3-5 with a 4.52 ERA in 63 2/3 innings.
Laffey is 25-29 with a 4.38 ERA in 148 appearances and 65 starts in his six year career with the Indians, Mariners, Yankees and Blue Jays.
Michael Baron, ContributorThe Mets are reportedly going to bottom-feed the bullpen market this winter after mostly making poor investments in the bullpen last winter. This type of move fits into that strategy – I expect more moves like this for the bullpen as the winter progresses with hopes one or more of these arms standout during camp. In the case of Laffey, he is someone who can go in and out of the rotation and can ultimately become the veteran, left-handed presence Terry Collins wants in the bullpen if he sticks.

Whilst the tax arrangements are strictly legal, there has been outrage on how companies are avoiding paying their fair share of tax generated in the country.

My Grandmother Ruth has been on my mind a lot lately. I really miss her. She wasn't everyone's favourite person - for example she and my mom fought constantly! She was fussy and somewhat timid but she was lively and vivacious and dressed in beautiful red suits. She was afraid of windy days and storms and water. Grandma was rather dramatic (which I loved about her!) and had a nervous disposition. Her hair had a little wave in it and turned a lovely white in later years. And she never developed "old age" spots as many of us do. She had such beautiful English skin!
|Lily, Grandma, my mother 1918
My mother was one of Grandma's three daughters. We didn't see much of Grandma but I sure enjoyed her visits. She lived in our village when I was little, I remember visiting her and her second husband, Daddy Sam, as a youngster. But then she moved back to Guelph and we didn't visit much. I suspect it was because she and my mom didn't get along. But Grandma told me stories of her childhood, of her parents and siblings and I loved listening to them. I didn't care how many times I heard them.
She had a little twitch which I thought was funny but endearing. Her head would twitch slightly and she'd give a gentle sniff and a small involuntary shrug of one shoulder. I have no idea what caused that but she claimed it was because she had Rickets as a child. I'm pretty sure that's not why but that was her story. She was very sickly as a little girl and suffered from headaches and insomnia as an adult.
My mother told me more than once that the reason she didn't get along with me was because I reminded her of her mother (Grandma Ruth) For I too was sickly as a child and as an adult. I've had poor health and physical problems my whole life. My mother had no patience with illness. As far as she was concerned it didn't exist, it was mind over matter. Illness annoyed her and she let you know, no matter how horrible you felt or how much pain you were in.
|Grandma, Grandpa + 3 daughters 1923
I loved being around Grandma and it's funny to me how different family members have said to me "oh, you're just like Grandma Ruth!" as if that is an insult when to me it's a compliment! Yes she could be annoying with her complaints (too hot, too cold, too windy....etc). Yes she was very fussy. But she had a loving heart and she was never mean or a bully or unkind. And she told great stories and had a wonderful twinkle in her eye and an engaging chuckle.
Grandma gave me many family "treasures" while I was growing up. She saw how interested I was in the stories behind each item - who owned the china toast rack, whose teacup was I drinking out of, and so on. So many of those treasures were passed on to me and I treasure them still. But the one that came full circle was her ruby ring. Grandma loved red. She always wore it and it suited her vivacious personality perfectly.
Her ruby ring was her prized possession and she always promised it to me. But when she died it was given to my cousin (Grandma had 3 granddaughters - my sister and I and one cousin) and I was very upset. My aunt (my cousin's mother) insisted that Grandma had always promised the ruby ring to her daughter and that was who it was going to. Grandma died over 25 years ago and I've never seen the ruby ring since. I've never asked if my cousin still has it or wears it.

CANTON The initiator of a lawsuit challenging the states Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act gathered signatures Friday at the St. Lawrence County Courthouse from five of the 11 fellow plaintiffs in the county for an appeal on the constitutionality of the law.
Robert L. Schultz, founder of We the People of New York, was to collect 217 signatures from Jefferson County plaintiffs the largest group among 1,256 plaintiffs spread throughout 58 counties at 8 a.m. Saturday in front of the Dulles State Office Building and from 20 Lewis County plaintiffs at 9:30 a.m. in front of the courthouse in Lowville.
The lawsuit seeks to strike down the SAFE Act primarily on the way it was passed. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo declared a message of necessity, avoiding a constitutional rule that three days pass before a final legislative vote.
There were a lot of people upset, said Judith M. Whitmore, a director in We the People of New York. Its about the system of governance. Its about legislative due process. Secondarily, its about the Second Amendment, of course.
Raymond G. and Carlene A. Marshall, Redwood, came to Canton to sign because Mr. Marshall had other plans for Saturday.
Its an illegal law, Mrs. Marshall said. They didnt need to pass it in the middle of the night and not have anyone read it.
Nancy W. Dalton, Louisville, who came with her husband, Dalton E., also disagreed with how the law was passed.
He really didnt give people a voice in this at all, she said. It was not well thought out.
Joel J. LaPierre, a candidate for the District 4 seat on the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators and himself a plaintiff in the case, will try to collect the signatures of the countys other plaintiffs who could not come Friday.
The appeal is of a recent state Supreme Court decision that denied rejection of the law. Acting Supreme Court Justice Thomas J. McNamara ruled the state had met its burden that it had to act quickly.
The governor included in his certificate a recitation of his reasons for urging speedy passage, the judge wrote. That is all the constitution requires.
The judge also rejected arguments that the law violated Second Amendment rights, including those in the New York Constitution.
Given that the right is not absolute and in the absence of a cogent argument demonstrating how the SAFE ACT infringes upon their right, plaintiffs have failed to establish that the legislation is unconstitutional, his decision stated.
Mr. Schultz hopes to take the case straight to the Court of Appeals.
You can go directly to the Court of Appeals if the only question is on the constitutionality of a statute, which is what this is, he said.
The Court of Appeals procedure is that all plaintiffs individually sign on, he said.
Courts have never seen anything like this, he said. Each plaintiff is pro se. Were all without attorneys. As far as Im concerned, we need a lot more of this.
Jefferson County had such a large showing because a 9/12 group, a movement created by radio personality Glenn Beck, had asked Mr. Schultz, a constitutional activist, to speak in Jefferson County before the SAFE Act was passed.

Fantastic light weight jacket . Delivery quick . Great generous sizes and lovely material
on Thursday, September 17, 2015
Great product. Goes well with the waterproof trousers. Definite buy if your little ones have out grown the waterproof onesie's by JoJo.

on Saturday, September 12, 2015
love this jacket. really soft and easy to put on my son. Easy to pack away too it actually fits back in the bag without any effort.
on Tuesday, September 08, 2015
Amazing jackets. Great for spring/autumn. Not bulky so easy to strap in buggy/car seat/reins etc. both my boys have one (4yrs and 15 months). Washes great in machine. Highly recommend.
on Wednesday, August 26, 2015
Fab, great for keeping under the buggy, good quality, good value for money.
on Sunday, August 02, 2015
Really good coat, completely waterproof and my youngest stayed lovely and dry while the rest of us got soaked, would highly recommend these waterproofs

Brilliant packaway jacket that folds into a small integral bag, so no need to get caught out in the rain.......invaluable this summer!! Usual Jojo quality.
on Friday, July 24, 2015
Lovely pattern & colour. Sleeves come quite short though & not sure how easy it would be to take on & off especially when wet. Unfortunately returned.
on Thursday, July 23, 2015
Lovely coat, packs up very small. If in doubt on sizing, get the bigger size as they are fairly short and have to go over their head.
on Thursday, July 23, 2015
These are great jackets - I've just bought a third one. They're really handy to keep stowed away in your bag; look really nice; and are properly waterproof. What more could you ask for...?
on Thursday, July 23, 2015
We love this rain Mac... The pattern is gorgeous and it's perfect for warmer days with rain showers. The wind proofing is also great as we live on a hill!!
I bought a size bigger so it will fit over jumpers towards winter too.. Perfect :-)
on Thursday, July 23, 2015
This packaway jacket is essential! I love that there's such a variety of colours & patterns. I've recommended these to all my mummy friends!
on Thursday, July 23, 2015
Very satisfied with this purchase. The jacket is cute, fits even over thicker shirts and hoodies and folds away very easyly.

Great to have in the car just in case. Lightweight and breathable perfect for summer showers

great JMB quality as usual... arrived promptly and usual good service. these pack-aways are so handy to take along on days out!
on Friday, July 10, 2015
Really useful - packs up nice and small to fit in changing bag or bottom of buggy. Lightweight and easy to use.
on Monday, June 29, 2015
Great product, bought it for my two years old son who absolutely love it. I also purchase boots with the same boat pattern. It's very practical for a day out when the weather is unpredictable, it's easy to fold into little pocket and can be wear throughout the year:)
Alison Smith
on Thursday, April 16, 2015
Great product and love how it packs away so neatly. The coat is a bit on the large size but good for getting over everyday clothes!
on Wednesday, March 25, 2015
Highly recommend. I purchased this after reading the reviews. I found it quite roomy, which is useful because it's only thin and so can easily slip on over a warm fleece, or coat...
Caroline Tickner
on Monday, January 26, 2015
Fab waterproof coat, really good for all weathers....
on Monday, January 05, 2015

These waterproof jackets are ideal to put over clothes both for summer or winter. We also use them for windproofing when going on the back of the bicycle.
on Monday, October 20, 2014
I think this comes up just a little on the snug side so would recommend buying in the next size up - especially if the intention is to slip on over a jacket or thick jumper.
Paula Johnson
on Wednesday, September 17, 2014
Excellent quality, easy to pack away. Highly recommended.

on Wednesday, September 17, 2014
This coupled with the trousers is idea and fantastically handy for home and Nursery. Particulary as Navy is school colours
on Friday, September 05, 2014
I have been buying these for a few years now for my son and daughter. They are lovely and perfect for any season as clothes can be layered underneath. Only negative is that the sleeves could be a bit longer.
on Monday, September 01, 2014
Great design. High quality. Very easy to transfer from bag to jacket and vice versa. All round great product.
Marta Fernandez
on Monday, July 21, 2014
Great product. I have bought this and the trousers. They barely take up space in my bag, they don't make my child hot at all, they are light and keep my child completely dry.
E Collins
on Tuesday, July 08, 2014
Very cute and my daughter even wears the hood up which is normally a no no. she loves wearing it and it's light enough to keep her cool but dry in the UKs warm but wet weather
on Wednesday, June 25, 2014
I really like this jacket. It packs away small in to the integral pocket and the bird design is super cute on my little girl. It is quite expensive for a little light mac but it is very nice and a good size alowing a warmer layer inderneath if necessary. The hood stays up also.
Laura C
on Tuesday, June 24, 2014
Great quality, delighted . Lots of positives - only slight negative , elastic on sleeves could be a big tighter or adjustable.
Clint Baker
on Thursday, May 29, 2014
My item arrived extremely fast and is amazing quality. I would highly recommend this product and site to anyone.
Issy's Mum
on Tuesday, May 27, 2014
Fab product, packs away super small. Lovely feeling soft, fabric not like usual waterproofs. Ordered in meadow pattern, very pretty. Ordered an 18-24 month for my (average size)16 month old daughter. It's a little big at the moment but is wearable with the sleeves rolled up and should last her until she's 2 comfortably. Another great product from Jojo!
on Thursday, May 15, 2014
Great item my little boy loves it especially the big pocket for his cars
on Monday, May 12, 2014
Lovely Pixie waterproof jacket. I ordered one in red for my little girl.We wore it already,looks very cute. She had fleece jumper underneath because it was a bit windy. Yah, I think its brilliant for our weather on this Island. I would highly recommend it.
on Monday, March 17, 2014
I bought 2 jackets (2year old and 3.5 year old) based on reading lots of positive reviews. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the jackets. I have very average sized children (2 year old is slightly tall) but the jackets were very short and wide. If they'd had some elastic or a drawstring at the bottom I might have kept them, but they really could do with being a few inches longer and slimmer. I don't want to be negative because there are lots of JoJo fans who love the clothes, but they didn't work for my kids!
on Tuesday, March 11, 2014
This is a great product, lovely and soft, easy to un/pack & handy to take anywhere.
It is unlike cheaper alternatives that don't 'breathe' and get 'sweaty'. Haven't had to test its waterproofing yet but alot easier to put on a little man who detested his snow suit!
Jana Jouza
on Saturday, March 01, 2014
Brilliant product, this is our 3rd one from Jojo. Really easy to pack away, have it handy in your bag for those rainy days. Highly recomended.
on Tuesday, November 26, 2013
Whilst haven't yet used this yet, This is our 3rd one of these, so can confidently say good stuff!
If you are new to JojoMB , then welcome, I'm happy to endorse! Have bought so much from JJMB over the past few years, it's our fail safe go to shop, and way better quality than other big high street kiddy retailers.
These macs combined with the pac away dungarees are in continuous use and travel everywhere we go!
J. McDonald
on Friday, November 08, 2013
These jackets are just fantastic. They cut out the wind as well as the rain and they pack up so easily to carry around with you. We're on our 3rd one (increasing a size each year!) and are already wondering how we're going to cope next year when we grow out of the current age 5-6 size!
on Thursday, November 07, 2013
Fantastic jacket, easy to pack back away, very lightweight, so great for the warmer months or with extra layers underneath. So impressed I am going to order one for my son as well.
on Wednesday, November 06, 2013
A fantastic product. Really handy to have in the bag or buggy. Generous sizing making it really easy to pull on over warm clothes.
on Sunday, October 20, 2013
Really handy and well designed, v pleased with it.
Ms Littlelake
on Saturday, October 05, 2013
I picked the bird patterned one for my 2y old daughter and it is beautiful, in fact so much so that she thinks that it is a pretty dress... Practical and great quality. Generous sizing which makes the pull-over function a tolerable toddler experience.
on Thursday, October 03, 2013
These pixie jackets are FAB. The red one has been brilliant for my little boy and has now been passed on to my little girl who still manages to look girly in it. Cute and very practical.
on Thursday, September 26, 2013
Very nice soft feel finish and accurate size. Really recommend this product. Easy to pack back away after opening out
on Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Very expensive for what this is, and very thin - can't see when we'd use this as has no warmth. Not great for a 12-18 month old, but can see it would be useful when they're older. I returned this product.
on Wednesday, September 18, 2013
Fantastic jacket! Great quality, really breathable. Why did i not buy it before?!
on Saturday, September 14, 2013
My twin boys look so gorgeous in these jackets. I love that the jakets can fold away neatly into a bag which forms the pocket when open. So easy for putting in a changing bag or the car. As usual jo jo service and delivery was great.
on Wednesday, September 11, 2013
Love the pattern, very handy and good value for money
claire stronge
on Wednesday, September 11, 2013
Cant fault this jacket so far, my 20 month old daughter loves it and asked to wear it all last weekend when it arrived. The bird print is beautiful and everyone we saw complimented it. We bought 2-3 and she has plenty of room to grow into it but she can wear it with the sleeves folded over once. Im really pleased we bought it, thanks JoJo.
Katherine Tong
on Tuesday, September 03, 2013
Fab jacket, excellent quality. My 3 year old loves it!
Karolina Fotyga
on Friday, August 23, 2013
We didn't wear it jet as I got bigger size for next spring but looks fab :-) specially together with jojo pink waterproof trousers (We have retro floral one).
S Ashcroft
on Tuesday, August 20, 2013
Exactly what we needed - light, waterproof, packable and pretty!
on Monday, August 19, 2013
We were looking for a waterproof jacket that's thin enough for summer rain, yet soft enough for a one year old to wear. Most of the jackets we tried were just too scratchy and 'plastic'. This one wasn't - it is much softer than you'd expect a product like this to be. Jnr has worn it happily on country walks when it has been drizzly and stayed dry. Now we're waiting for some 'proper' storms to test it out in!
L Holdsworth
on Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Really handy to just pop in your bag for an emergency, yet colourful and pretty too to brighten up a dull day. Yet another great purchase from jojo.
on Thursday, July 04, 2013
I bought this for my grandson and was very impressed with the quality.
Sabrina Jordan
on Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Perfect for British summers! I love this jacket, I always carry it in the changing bag and as its lightweight I can pop it over the top of cardi's or t shirt depending on the temperature. I have the waterproof trousers and wellies as well so my little one can potter around as much as she likes in the wet.
Melanie Dash
on Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Love these jackets. Great for all year round and very stylish too. I bought the previous design last year but this is much better for getting over the head. Would be even easier to buy if international postage was cheaper.
Genevieve McManagan
on Sunday, May 26, 2013
A beautifully designed jacket, as to be expected from JoJoMamanBebe. Cleverly designed cuffs and a hood that fits well, it's a very pretty but highly effective rain jacket for any little Princess.
Ellen Pickard
on Thursday, May 23, 2013
What a fabulous jacket. Plenty of room to layer it up if the weather is chilly. Great quality; and love the colour, as will be handed down from my daughter to my son all being well. Was worn with the pack away waterproof dungarees on the beach on a cold week in May. GREAT, thank you Jo Jo.
on Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Love this coat! Its lightweight and perfect for little ones to keep dry in.
A Hickey
on Sunday, May 19, 2013
Found this very useful. Little weight and easily packed up. Didn't make my daughter all sweaty like I feared either as breathable.
Elaine Bradley
on Sunday, April 28, 2013
Great . These were approved by mum and 4 year old Molly. Worn straightaway. Easy to move in and light. Ideal for Forest School. Quality good and washable. These will be good for camping. Only criticisim is can you have a zip up option or a wider neck as not easy for a 4 year old to get over her head.
on Friday, March 22, 2013
Great little waterproof shell for spending time in the rain and/or wind. The only suggestion I would make is putting a drawcord with bungee toggle in the bottom of the coat so that it can be tightened around the hips keep little ones snug.
on Friday, February 01, 2013
Lovely, well made Jacket. Comes integrated in a zip bag which is handy to keep in the car. Lovely design so useful for toddlers.
Anne Spilsbury
on Monday, January 14, 2013
Bought this garment and unfortunately the hood is mis-sized and the hood does not pull down at all but gets stuck on the face. Real shame, and even further exaggerated because JoJo were not interested in seeing the faulty garment to see if it was a one off fault. I also tried this item on a few of my friends children and the hood didn't work.
on Monday, December 10, 2012
This is great! Really good quality and cute to boot. I think my daughter will get a good years wear out of this as I bought it in the size up and it still works for her. Very happy!
on Friday, November 23, 2012
Great little jacket, lovely feel to the fabric and packs away really easily. A fabulous buy for the great British weather.
K Horton
on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
I bought this jacket for my outdoor loving, little boy, but who finds a big padded jacket too restricting and hot. So this was ideal for layering and controlling warmth.
This waterproof jacket is perfect! Its very well made, has a large head opening for any moving toddler who just wants to get outside and not stand still to be dressed, but can then be done up to keep dry and warm; this is easily done too.
Fab colours and designs!
on Saturday, October 13, 2012
Great jacket. The fabric feels nice and soft on the outside and its very light and easy to pack away.
melanie mcdonald

Brilliant. My kids think it is hilarious that their coats pack away into their pockets. Light and compact to carry around and look great too.
josephine wood

Love the design so did my granddaughter.
Very light & easy to pack away to take anywhere
on Sunday, September 30, 2012
Great waterproof. Good quality and surprisingly easy to pack away. I ordered the size 2-3 for my two year old in ditsy print (which looks lovely with the matching wellies) and it fits very well. Shame they don't come in adult sizes!
Donna Rayner
on Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Bought in size 2-3 years for my daughter in ditsy print (so many lovely patterns was hard to choose!). Bought this after buying the pack-away dungarees and loving them. She is only 19 months at the moment and did not like trying it on as jumper style so fighting over her head but once on looked good and growing room although shorter in the body than I expected for a jacket/coat. Overall pleased but not really tested yet as mother-in-law giving it at christmas!! Quality nice as always from Jo Jo :)
on Friday, September 21, 2012
I have not used it yet as we bought it in a bigger size but it look sgreat and feels a good quality. only point i would make is that my daughter does not like having clothes over her head and it would be better with a full front zip - this would also make it easier to put a cosy jacket underneath it too
on Friday, September 21, 2012
Clever design, packs down really small so handy for travelling, keeping in the buggy etc. Looks great. Only negative (as other reviewers have said) is the head is super small - our son does have a big head, so probably particular issue for us. We can get it on him, but it's a squeeze!
on Thursday, September 20, 2012
A smashing product, used loads for fun in the wet. Packs away easily. Well worth the price.
on Monday, September 17, 2012
Super-cute jacket & print (we got the all in one in the same print last year). Generous sizing - we might even get more than one year out of it! Lovely product as always JoJo - thank you!
on Wednesday, September 12, 2012
I love this jacket. Had one with the back zip last time for my son and as other reviews stated this made it impossible to get the hood up over his head once fastened. Just got the car print one with the front fastening and it's just perfect. Very handy to have in the my bag as it fold up so small. An essential item.
on Tuesday, September 04, 2012
Have loved this jacket but had old style & really struggled with hood which eventually caused so much distress it was becoming impossible to use.
Having only bought it in May I returned to store today (no receipt) just to check it wasn't faulty.
It came to light that the design had been changed and they actually swapped my previous design for the newer one.
Have just seen that it no longer has the back opening which is a shame but having now read these threads I understand why.
Thank you for being so reasonable

Great jacket, lovely bright print. Just having problems trying to pack it back into the pouch.

I bought this waterproof jacket for our holiday, but my little boy fell in love with it instantly and has been wearing it ever since - even when the weather has rather unusually been fine!! As usual, good quality product and we are very pleased.
on Friday, July 20, 2012
Convenient and well made jacket. Easy to travel with and a pretty print.
on Thursday, July 19, 2012
These jackets are FAB and with the easy pack away pouch they are handie to keep in your hand bag for emergancy's.
on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Great little raincoat. Bought it too big so child can wear it for as long as possible, but it works fine even though it's big on him. A good light weight summer coat - I don't need to tell you how wet it's been so far this season! And, it's roomy enough to layer warm clothes under it when the cooler autumn comes.
on Monday, July 02, 2012
Great red colour. Good fit and easy to get over the head. Packs away nice and small in to the pocket. We haven't really tested it's waterproof-ness yet.
on Monday, June 25, 2012
After looking at many cheaper waterproof coats I decided to get the blue floral one of these for my daughter. SO glad I did!! 18-24 months fits her well, with plenty of growing room and the floral pattern is very cute! Perfect for our current showery summer weather!
on Saturday, June 16, 2012
Have just purchased this jacket in the super cute boat print size 6-12 months for my son aged 7 months and although he has room to grow in the arms and body, I cannot put the hood up over his 'average sized' head as many people have also said. Glad to see the design issue has been addressed but that doesn't help me! Slightly dissapointing, as a very loyal JoJo customer I have never had a problem with anything before. The sales assistant cut the labels off at the till I noticed so I guess I'll just have to live with the hood issue! Still a cute jacket, folds up neat to pop in my changing bag.
Sarah Clements

Bought the stripey one for my two year old son. Came just in time for the wet weather! It's perfect to put over a t-shirt on a warm but wet day or over layers on a cold one. It packs away small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. More importantly, my son loves wearing it and there are no uses getting it over his head as the gap is more than big enough.
on Saturday, May 26, 2012
Well made pretty jacket ideal for putting in pushchair ready for the down pour. Large for size chosen 2-3 for 23 month girl but room to grow which saves money in long run!

I am really happy with this jacket that I got for my nearly 2 year old daughter, and she loves it as well. Well made and packs away perfectly into the little pouch (pocket that turns inside out), and she looks really cute in it. I wish I could find one in my size! Also got the matching trousers!

bought the one with the boats on and my son loves it! true to size and looks fab
on Monday, May 14, 2012
We have moved up to the 2-3yr size due to the problem others have mentioned with the hood on the smaller sizes, which was a shame as the body of my son's 18-24m size still had plenty of growing room left, but the hood just couldn't be put up as it was so tight (made no difference on him whether it was up or down when it went on) - glad to hear this is going to be resolved for future customers though, and I guess I would have bought the larger size eventually anyway as they are really nice jackets (it just has a LOT of growing room for now!)

I bought one of these for each of my little ones, 9mths and 3 yrs, for a weeks holiday in the Uk. I bought 12-18 mth size for my youngest to make sure she got use out of it and it went over a coat. I have to say they are both really easy to put on and the integrated pocket that you pack them away in is so easy and convenient. Definitely an essential item for any uk holiday!

This little jacket is great - it is quite generously sized, so will fit over a thin fleece jacket in the spring months and shoudl still fit in the summer! Easy to get on and off, and enables our little one to run around in the rain to his heart's content.

Fantastic item. Bought these waterproofs for my daughter since she was 1 and never disappointed. Look good with contrasting waterproof dungarees too. Sizing is large so pleased that this biggest size should last her a long time.

Fantastic product. Wind and waterproof - great for a ride upfront on adult bike, and for walks in pouring rain. Onto second size!

I too agree with the comments on the hood for 12-18mth size however if you put hood up before do up the back zip then it's fine. The bonus I found was that my daughter could not actually pull her hood down as it was too tight to pull over the crown of her head. Once unzipped at back though it came off just fine. Great design really as her head has always been dry!

We have listened to all the comments and have changed the design for future - but unfortunately it won't be available until Spring Summer 2012.
This problem only affects the sizes up to 24mths with the back zip - the larger sizes are a different opening and have no problems. (Although we are looking intot the latest comment about the 3-4 sleeves as this does not sound correct).
We have had to sacrifice the sweet back opening for a front opening as there was no way to make the hood work otherwise.
We were very surprised at the reviews over the last 6 months as we have not changed the design and the sizing of the jacket (just the prints) for 3 years and despite selling very many, and all our testers fitting them OK, and a very low returns rate we are now getting this feedback.
We recently contacted 20 customers who had purchased the jacket and only 3 had found the fit not working.
We have checked all the stock as we were concerned perhaps some were faulty or mis-sized garments in the stock, but it does not seem to be the case.
If you like the style then please do try it - perhaps buying a size up, and if you find you are the 15 for whom it is not suitable please contact customer services directly who can assist you.

I've had the same problem with the hoods. I bought 2 x size 18-24 months for my twins and struggle every time I have to use the hood. The design with the zip at the back is great, but the small hood is a real problem. Despite this, I have since bought 2 x size 3-4 years for my boys (now 2) and the difference in size is barely noticeable (longer body but sleeves just 1 cm longer, which leaves no room for growth). I strongly advise Jojo to review their sizes for this product as they really don't live up to your usual standards.
on Saturday, September 10, 2011
agreed - i thought i'd give it a go despite reviews, and bought size 2 for my one year old. the body is much too big but the hood is already too small to be of any use. Such as shame as they're gorgeous!

Our pixie jackets have been bestsellers for 4 years and have been regularly tested for fit and wear on children of all ages. As we have recently received comments about the size of the jackets our garment technicians are looking at our latest stock to see if there are any individual issues with it.
on Wednesday, August 03, 2011
Very disappointing fit as, like previous reviewers, I can't get the hood over my daughter's head in spite of the overall fit of the jacket being large on her.
on Monday, July 25, 2011
Have to agree with the previous reviewer, we have had exactly the same problem. The hood won't fit over our daughter's head, even though the sleeves etc are OK. Also had the same problem with the matching trousers - they are a bit too snug and ride up quite uncomfortably when she's in her pushchair. What with that and an ill-fitting pair of shoes, I'm quite disappointed with the last few (fairly expensive) purchases from Jojo.
on Sunday, July 24, 2011
I am a big fan of Jo Jo Maman Bebe but was disappointed with this jacket as the first time I washed it - as per instructions on the label - most of the taped seams came away. Surprisingly, this did not happen with the waterproof trousers which I washed at the same time. Hoping to get a refund when I return it.
on Monday, May 16, 2011
Lovely looking jacket and clever design but very disappointing fit. Even though we bought the bigger size for longevity, the hood will not go over her head when on. The rest of it is on the big size so it's not the wrong size. I have not noticed my daughter has an unduly big head before so conclude this is a bit pointless - waterproof that doesn't have a fitting hood! Lovely jacket but try the hood before chopping off the tag!

Hello thar!
A common question you may hear on the servers is as follows:
*** is neab?
Well, sit on my lap and let me tell you a story, son. Our beloved neab is the culmination of countless years of scientific research and development for the advancement of FUN. We are a community of players focused on enjoying ourselves, loling all the way to the biznank, and of course, doing it LIVE! Anyone may join our clan, so long as you are not a *****.
The idea of neab arose out of the harsh nature of competitiveness that only a game 10+ years old could instill into a loyal fanbase. Sometimes newer players or even players who HAVE played for years will get smashed in game and are left with a feeling of frustration and occasional resentment.
neab offers a place to have fun for those tired of the negativity, a place to practice for those who want to get better, and soon a place to compete for those who watch the pros and say, "I can do that".

Want to improve your control, stability and pedaling efficiency on the trail? The Shimano PD-M530 pedal is just the ticket. This dual-sided pedal has an ample platform, an open, mud-shedding design and adjustable retention, so you can click in and click out with confidence.
I love to use the Shimano PD-M530 in my Y-26 Trek mountain bike, because it gives me the flexibility to ride the bike with cleats on roads and when necessary to get muddy change to the other side. Really it is not a problem to flip the side to choose your shoe match for the ride. The only thing is that paint felts out on the flat side of the pedal. I give it a five because of the Two world it gives me.
I've had these pedals for coming on 3 and a half years now, and the first word that comes to mind when talking about them is "durable". Two seasons of XC racing, several park days, enduro racing, reckless and hooliganish trail-riding day in and day out, enough rock strikes to send a boutique flat pedal huddling in fear...these things just keep on going. The action on them isn't silky smooth, and they're not super-light, but they're a product that keeps working no matter what. Mud-shedding is decent, not great, not bad either. I live in so-cal so wet conditions aren't that common. The plat form on the pedal provides some good extra support while pedaling and in those hairball situations when you want to unclip a bit or can't quite find the cleat as you're zooming into a rock garden. Not in the same way as a proper DH clipless pedal does, but enough for your average bit of riding. These do cost a bit more than the standard, base-model shimano pedal, but based on my experience, I would say that these are well worth it.
These pedals are probably the best bang for the buck AM pedals around. Don't let the cheap price fool you, they have solid engagement in all conditions, spin smoothly, and just enough support to allow for more hike-a-bike friendly shoes.
Very sturdy pedal. Easy to set up. Will last long time. Cage has nice shape not as light as XTR but for the price you can't beat them.
My third set of pedals (first Shimano brand) and I was immediately impressed with how secure the contact felt with my shoe. I personally don't like a lot of float and these give a snappy response when clicking in and out. The extended platform is great for finding your way to the clip, giving some extra support on longer rides, and a solid design that stands up well to pedal strike.
I have these on three bikes and have been ridding them for a couple years. They are super tough and perform really well. You can loose some weight going to xt Xtr but with the money saved you could get carbon bars or seat post and maybe sabe more. Plus then you got two things in the mail and you are able to tell your wife you actually saved money . Worked for me ...
These are really nice, I bought them in white and they look sharp. These are my first pair of clip less peddles, but I have found them to work well. Being able to adjust them, is really nice being new to the whole clip less thing. Great pedals though and for that price to

Toledo Model 8400 Public Health Scale
Due to the lack of a section on Americana I am posting this here. If I am wrong and should post it elsewhere please let me know. I just bought this scale at an auction. It is missing the back door. Does anyone know where I could look to find one? Also, does anyone know a collector in the Florida / Georgia area? I am a dealer so I am looking to sell it. Thank you in advance for any help.

Dr. Mondkar is an outstanding doctor who goes out of his way to examine the patients, putting them at ease, explaining all the procedures, and options in detail not only during office hours but even after hours. In this day and age of practicing "hurried" medicine, for Dr. Mondkar the patient comes first. It's so reassuring to know that still are doctors whose main concern is the well-being of the patient and not making as much money as possible by advising them to go through unnecessary procedures and even surgeries. Dr. Mondkar is the epitomy of an outstanding doctor, and kind human being. This is not only my opinion but also that of 5 other members of my family who are his patients.

Massachusetts General Hospital has moved into the number one spot on the 2012-13 U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Hospitals" list.
Massachusetts General Hospital Ranked #1 in the Nation on U.S. News & World Report Honor Roll
Massachusetts General Hospital has moved into the number one spot on the 2012-13 U.S. News & World Report "America's Best Hospitals" list. Since the survey began in 1990, Mass. General (MGH) has ranked among the top few hospitals in the nation, last year coming in second behind Johns Hopkins Hospital, which had been at the top of the Honor Roll for the past 21 years.
"Each year we have been both honored and humbled to be recognized among the nation's highest achieving hospitals, and this year it is especially gratifying to be ranked number one," said Peter L. Slavin, MD, MGH president. "This recognition is a tribute to the more than 23,000 staff members at MGH who are dedicated to delivering the highest-quality care to patients and families. Our employees are the ones who have built and shaped Mass General into the extraordinary health care resource it has been for the past 200 years and will continue to be into the future."
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino proclaims July 17, 2012, as "MGH is #1 Day"
Gov. Deval Patrick recognizes the MGH with a citation
Sen. John Kerry says the number one ranking is a "long time in the making"
The MGH plans to celebrate this national recognition by thanking hospital staff at a special event on July 17, 2012. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will participate in the festivities. Later tonight, senior MGH leaders will be at the hospital to thank and celebrate with evening and night shift employees.
David F. Torchiana, MD, CEO and chairman of the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, said that while being number one on the Honor Roll is an exciting milestone for the MGH and a testament to its staff, it is also important to keep the survey in perspective. "Our competition is not other hospitals," Torchiana noted. "Rather our competition is disease, health care costs, accessibility of services, and social issues such as poverty, violence and substance abuse that affect the well-being of the community. Like every hospital, we strive to be the best we can so that we can help solve these difficult problems. The U.S. News 'Best Hospitals' survey is a valuable tool that helps us measure how we are doing."
Again this year Mass General was highly ranked in all 16 specialty areas on the U.S. News survey.
MassGeneral Hospital for Children was also recognized by U.S. News in their Best Children's Hospital rankings in four pediatric specialties: diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology and neurosurgery, and pulmonology. A detailed list of the rankings, including the methodology used by U.S. News & World Report, is available at www.usnews.com/besthospitals

Barack Obama – Obama's first presidential term was full of firsts, many related to technology. Obama was the first president to use social media sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. However, he'll likely be remembered more for being the first president with a smartphone. Much to the chagrin of government officials, Obama kept his personal Blackberry when he entered office.

In a non-region game against the powerful 4A Uintah on Friday night, Carbon lost 51-0 to go to 0-2 on the season.
Things started out looking good, as the Dinos stopped the Utes on their first drive, forcing a fumble on the Ute's 15 yard line. Carbon followed up with two good runs, but then disaster struck as the Dino quarterback was sacked.
For some teams it would just have been one bad play to shake off, but for a team in the depths of a losing steak, it seemed to be an omen of things to come.
The Dinos headed into the locker room at the half, bruised and battered and down by 51. For the coaches there was little left to say.
Carbon came out in the second half and stopped the Utes on their first possession again and then both coaches began to play many of their second string players. The younger Dinos held their own against Uintah and the second half was a scoreless affair.
For the coaches, the play of the younger kids remains a bright spot in the rebuilding of a team. The Dino sophomores beat Uintah earlier in the week.
Coach Paur praised the play of Chris Rummel and Sammy Manarite despite the loss.
He also continues to emphasize that he has faith in this team and they are better than what they have shown on the field so far this season.
Grand will be the first team to take on the Dinos on the Carbon field this season. Game time will kick-off at 7 p.m.this Friday, Sept 4.
