Tough yet smooth quality leather
For those of you that like the heavy thick rugged yet soft and supple leather jacket, this is for you!! I bought two of these; one "L" and one "XL". The large is a perfect fit, but slightly snug; in other words, I can't wear any fleece under it or it would be too tight. The "XL" allows room to wear a fleece jacket under it but the arm length is a little longer. As for the quality of leather?... Incredible! very tough leather by the main zipper, waist, elbows, collar but yet the other areas are slightly thinner but still thicker than most other leather jackets. The photos on this site do not do the jacket justice. The quality is outstanding. I have two other Schott Jackets. I have an older model 135 that I bought in 1995 which is slightly different than what they are offering now. My 135 has a bi-swing back that is also one piece of leather instead of three as seen on this site.
Back to the 585.... I would love to see more jackets like this one in different designs. Schott?...You've outdone yourself with this one! Highly recommended. Thanks for continuing to make quality clothing.

Beautiful brown show with limited go
This is a very beautiful jacket. The best of it's kind.
I ordered it knowing it was more of a fashion jacket than protective style motorcycle gear.
I only have one gripe: the adjustable side tabs are all show & no go. They look great but there is no dart or fold behind the buckles; there is nothing to adjust!
This jacket will provide the adequate protect of leather but will not accept additional pads.
This is not to say that this is only a jacket for posers. It is heavy & extremely well made. I've seen jackets from well know "race gear" makers that offer less protection, no style, and carry a larger price tag.
Is it a bargain? No. Is it worth the bucks? Without a doubt.
Here is the real skinny: I really dislike the guys that play black leather bad-boy dress-up for bike night. Very gay. The BS Retro-Rockers are worse. They live a romanticized version of the 50's. I was there; it wasn't that great. As a result, I DO NOT WEAR BLACK LEATHER.
This beautiful brown vintage style jacket delivers exactly what it promises. It ain't racing leathers but will provide good protection without the pretentious pomp.
Thumbs up even if a bit expensive.

Presto Perfecto! An instant classic.
I had been searching off and on for years for the perfect leather jacket. A jacket that fit great, exhibited quality craft and design, and achieved that certain look. I found those qualities in the Vintage 585.
As many have stated, the photos here do not do it justice! The leather has a wonderful feel of a supple, yet rugged durability. If you are looking for that "worn" look, then you have found it here. Coupled with a beautiful deep brown-redish color, this jacket proves to be an instant classic that will continue to be in style for years to come.
As for the price, I am not a wealthy guy by any means. The cost was considerable for me, but well worth it! I bought it as a gift to myself for quitting smoking cigs. Somewhat ironic considering "Perfecto" is named after a cigar.
If you want it, go for it! You only live once.

The photos do not do this jacket justice. It is beautiful. Very soft to the touch, but thick and kind of stiff at the same time. A very heavy jacket that looks like it will last forever. Nice long sleeves that work perfectly on the bike. I am extremely satisfied with this...

You know what you are getting
It's good to know what you are getting when ordering on-line. Having already purchased a Schott 141L 5 years ago, I knew I would be getting a high quality jacket when I ordered my new 585 vintage jacket. I wasn't dissapointed.
The jacket is definately one of a kind. Beautiful soft buttery leather which is reinforced in all the right places. New from my 141L are two inside snap pockets which is greatly appreciated.
Because this wasn't available in long I was concerned about sleeve length. No worries....fit perfect when on my Harley.
The great thing about this jacket is that you won't be seeing everyone @ your local rally wearing one. If they only knew! Now I have to decide which jacket to wear to Sturgis!

585 review
love this jacket, along with everyone that sees it, with only a few low points.
-incredible styling. haven't seen another on the street.
-the sale price is fair for the item.
-USA/union made.
-the 'shot' lining is really a great touch.
-all major seams had 1" to 1.5" threads sticking out from the backstitching.
-one of the eyelets on the lower left waist belt was installed improperly.
-the ends of the waist belts and wrist snaps are cut raw edged instead of being turned in.
-inside, there were wispy threads of lining material sticking out of the seams in several places.
-the "locker loop" is non-functional. it is a thin piece of leather that will not support the weight of the jacket. as a decoration, it should have been left off.
overall, this is an amazing fashion jacket (not body armor) with some QC issues. maybe rushing to restock? but after wearing it, i wouldn't give it up.

very nice jacket
this is a beautiful jacket. very well constructed.
the only reason i don't give it the full 5 stars is that the color is considerably more red than it appears in the picture.
still, a great jacket. i can't wait until it's broken in.
also, i might ad, that the transaction was extremely well handled. everyone at schott was prompt, courteous, attentive, and things were delivered exactly as promised.

Excellent Jacket...
It doesn't get much cooler than taking off your motorcycle jacket and seeing that "Perfecto" label inside. This is a great leather jacket that breaks in quickly and looks great. After three weeks of repeated wear and riding I couldn't believe how soft and supple the jacket became. The fit is great, it's comfortable and you don't see many of them. The couple of years I wore it to Daytona Bike Week I never saw it on anyone else. I've since sold it for a Langlitz, but I wish I held on to it. The jacket was really a good find and I'd definitely encourage others to pick one up.

Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
This jacket really has the cool factor. It looks really great. I feel a really good jacket must also feel great as well, this jacket does not have the butter soft feel of the A-2 jacket. I feel this jacket will take several years to get broken-in.
Thanks for a great looking jacket!

Stop looking and buy one... in antique brown
Bought my first Schott jacket in 1980... it was a beautiful brown bomber... ruggedly made and warm in the winter... I was 19 years young at the time. Got it at an army navy store in Baldwin NY.
Bought my second Schott in 1982... was a black cafe racer style with removable liner... great for riding year round. Got this one at the same army navy store.
Fast forward to 2014... I've had other brand leather/cycle jackets but wanted a Schott that would suit my style. It had to be a Schott... no other would do and so, I bought the Vintage 585 in antique brown. Built just as well as my other Schotts and best of all in brown... brown is the new black. Got this one online... the army navy store is long gone, but Schotts have not changed. Buy one today!

Hurray! Finally found the jacket
I've been searching endlessly for a vintage motorcycle leather jacket similar to this gem. After reading this blog post on iconic vintage leather jackets, it led me to your website and voila! Now lets see if the boyfriend will like it in brown. Also you might want to check out the blog post. They seemed to mention Schott a lot and its a pretty cool historical on leather jackets and musicians.

Stunning example of American craftsmanship
My Bride ordered this jacket for me for my birthday, as I have been eyeballing it for over a year. I am completely blown away! As stated in other reviews, the pictures do not do the jacket justice. It is, quite simply, stunning. This jacket will be perfect for riding on those (not so) cold Florida winter mornings. It will take some wearing to break it in as it is much heavier than it looks, yet somehow soft and supple. As a former union employer, I am continuously amazed at the quality of union craft labor vs. most everyone else. The construction of this jacket is no exception to my number one rule in life...'never try to beat a man at his own trade.' This product was not inexpensive but, as is usually the case, you get what you pay for. No regrets here!

One of a kind jacket
I was looking for a nice, sylish brown jacket and went through many stores in Manhattan before I ran into "585". I loved it from the "first sight", and realized that it possessed unique, and yet classic style that I couldn't find anywhere else. The retailer didn't have my size, so I ordered directly from Schott's. Size "M" was too tight, so I exchanged it for "L". But it was still not loose enough, so Schott let me exchange it 2nd time for size "XL"! Perfect fit, love it! Great service, guys!

Overall I'm very happy with the jacket after a month
The leather, as most everyone else has stated, is amazing. Out of the box it is thick and a little stiff. The sleeves broken in and became supple after only a week. The body took a couple more weeks.
The style is just what I was looking for. I ordered a small based on feed back from Schott about the cut. I wear a dress shirt size 15.5 33, am 5'10" and 155 lbs. The jacket is a little tight if I have a sweater or thick'ish layer underneath, but only in the arms really. I don't think a Large would fit well though re: arm length and would feel like a sack in the body.
I do have some issues with the jacket, but time will tell if they are warranted. The snaps at the cuffs have sharp edges. My initial problem was how it felt unsnapping them, but my true concern is that they feel sharp enough to eventually cut through the leather if you use the snaps a lot.
My second issue is with the zippers. I would have thought a jacket of this quality and caliber would have high end brass YKK zippers. The actual zippers, are in a word not high caliber. They work. They are brass, but are hard to start, stiff to move in either direction.
Again, both of these may last forever but neither feel like they will, at least a month into owning it.

A couple of remarks
This is a great jacket as so many have written. I do have two remarks, though, which may be helpful to some of you:
a) The leather is so thick that you can't really wear this inside. It isn't that supple and I find it somewhat unwieldy to carry in inside spaces...
b) The pockets are for decorative purposes. Anything you put in, including a simple iPhone, you can feel the bulge. I don't know why because a also have a classic Perfecto which I have been wearing for 30 years and, man, the things I have carried in that mother...
Anyway, it truly is a beautiful product and I am thinking of buying the corresponding leather chaps. Anyone out there who has those?

******Unbelievable Jacket******
The quality is beyond belief......American made. The jacket fits like a glove and the vintage look is like I've owned it for years. What an awesome color to stand out from all the black leather. Praise to everyone that was involved in making this jacket the finest I have ever seen in 30 years. Now I can finally stop wasting my time looking for the perfect jacket. Worth every penny!!!!!!!!!!!

What a jacket.
I was nervous about buying a garment unseen,untried and from abroad(I live in the UK)but I decided to take a punt.
Well i needn't have worried the size was perfect, the quality is superb, the leather is fantastic far better than it looks in the photo, but the delivery was what impressed me most, 45 hours from placing the order in the US to wearing it in the UK.
Great jacket.
Great service.
Thank you all at SCHOTT.

Awesome Jacket
If your looking for a leather jacket, this is the one. I had been looking for a leather jacket for years, but could never find one that was just right, until now. This jacket is great - from the fit to the quality of the leather, and it's made right here in the United States. No need to break in this jacket. It looks like I've been wearing it for years. If you want it, just buy it - you won't regret it.

Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 585
I am very pleased with the above jacket. I have been looking for something similar for a long time and had almost given up on it until I spotted the Schott Vintage 585. It was exactly what I was looking for - stylish, worn looking and a lovely brown color. I thought the price was reasonable relative to jackets from other manufacturers I was looking at. I was also most impressed by the help provided by Schott in finding the right size and the prompt delivery - total of 4 days from ordering to receip in Singapore where I reside. It was a thorroughly enjoyable experience and I look foreard to more purchases from Schott

The goal of perfection achieved.
I always try to purchase clothing from the U.S. or countries where a fair wage is paid and workers are treated fairly. I ordered a Schott Vintage Motorcycle jacket in the hopes that it would compliment my classic Moto Guzzi. I had high expectations, since it was an American/Union made jacket. When I received my jacket a few days later I could not believe the quality of workmanship and the perfect fit. It is not quite as heavy as a traditional motorcycle jacket, which makes it the perfect jacket for cool weather and with appropriate clothing underneath it will also be good for colder weather. It is the perfect every day Jacket. I can only say the "Schott Perfecto is Perfection."

have owned 4 or 5 leather jackets but when i saw this jacket i just had to have it. all of my other jackets were always black and had that same belt zipper theme. (you know the kind i'm talking about) but this one seemed to break that mold. it has that nostalgic, vintage worn look that i have seen nowhere else. the brown accents all of those features to the fullest. i have received more compliments on this jacket than any other one i've ever owned. can't wait until winter gets here so i can wear it again. would have paid double for it.
thanks, schotts

Admittedly, I was expecting something that needed breaking in, but the 585 is an amazing jacket. Soft, supple, comfortable, but still thick enough to provide ample protection. Not to mention the fact that it looks so damn awesome. I chose the 585 as something to commemorate my college graduation that I will have for the rest of my life. It most certainly fits that role, and it's absolutely the best article of clothing I own.

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Who is Vapor4Life Electronic Cigarettes?
Vapor4Life is a leading distributor and manufacturer of Electronic Cigarettes and e-liquids in the United States. Vapor4Life is located in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago and serves Electronic Cigarette users (also known as "vapers") across the globe. Vapor4Life is committed to delivering the highest quality Electronic Cigarettes and e-liquids to consumers.
What are Electronic Cigarettes?
Electronic Cigarettes, also known as ecigs or e-cigarettes, are designed to deliver nicotine to the user in the same fashion as a traditional cigarette does. An e-cigarette has two parts, the battery and the cartomizer. The cartomizer houses the e-liquid, a solution of nicotine and flavoring. The cartomizer screws onto the e-cigarette battery and the battery powers the heating element in the cartomizer, producing vapor. Vapor4Life e-cigarettes come in two styles, automatic and manual. Automatic e-cigarettes are designed to draw the same way as a traditional cigarette. Manual e-cigarettes have a button to initiate the draw. Pressing and holding the button will activate the heating element in the cartomizer, producing vapor. Vapor4Life is also the sole creator and distributor of the world's first dual mode Electronic Cigarette, the Vapor Zeus and the first automatic variable voltage Electronic Cigarette, the Dial-A-Volt.
Choosing an e-cigarette flavor.
Vapor4Life offers over 160 flavors in tobacco, menthol, fruit, dessert, coffee and beverage options. When you first decide to make the switch to vaping, we recommend choosing a flavor similar to the brand of traditional cigarettes you are familiar with. We also offer six sampler packs of e-cigarette flavors that come with five unique flavors to try several flavors without committing to a whole box of one flavor.
Choosing a nicotine strength.
Vapor4Life offers seven different nicotine strengths to choose when you first make the switch to e-cigarettes. Vapor4Life's available strengths are 0mg (no nicotine), 4mg, 8mg, 11mg, 18mg, 24mg, and 36mg. You can refer to the Vapor4Life nicotine strength chart to see our general guidelines for choosing a nicotine strength. Vapor4Life suggests trying multiple nicotine strengths to find the appropriate nicotine strength for you.
Transitioning to e-cigarettes from traditional cigarettes
When you make the switch to e-cigarettes, there are a few things to keep in mind. The e-cigarette is powered by a battery that will need to be recharged. Vapor4Life's batteries have a lithium ion cell that can be recharged up to 300 times. The cartomizers are available in both pre-filled and blank options. The pre-filled cartomizers are the equivalent to 15-20 traditional cigarettes. Vapor4Life offers all of the flavors that come in pre-filled cartomizers, in 30mL e-liquid bottles. pre-filled cartomizers and blank cartomizers are reusable and can be refilled up to five times.
Another thing to consider when making the switch to e-cigarettes is cleaning and maintenance. Over time, e-liquid residue will build up on your e-cigarette battery and e-cigarette charger. For the best vaping experience we recommend cleaning your e-cigarette battery and e-cigarette charger at least once each week. To clean the e-cigarette battery and e-cigarette charger, use an ethyl-based alcohol and gently clean off the black e-liquid residue.
Vapor4Life E-Cig Starter Kits
Vapor4Life offers several e-cigarette Starter Kits. Whether you're brand new to vaping, or have been using e-cigs for years, we've got your back! Our Starter Kits range in price from $29.95 for our Vapor King Slim Starter Kit to $94.95 for our Vapor Zeus Dual Mode Starter Kit so you can find a kit that will fit your budget and vaping style. If you're looking to switch from smoking tobacco cigarettes to using Electronic Cigarettes, try one of our beginner Starter Kits. If you're all about the variable voltage and techy-side of vaping, try our Dial-A-Volt battery. If you want the longest-lasting E-Cig battery that gives plumes of flavorful vapor, the Vapor Zeus is for you. Grab a Starter Kit today that includes everything you need to get vaping - a battery, battery charger, and a flavor (either in a prefilled cartomizer, or refillable tank or Smileomizer and juice). Happy vaping!

Getting 50 Tons of Toxic Chemicals Out of the Ground
Cleaning up contaminated groundwater at the Lowell, Massachusetts site of a former chemical plant has been accelerated as a result of $20 million in Recovery Act funds from the Environmental Protection Agency.
When Silresim Corporation went out of business in 1977, it left behind 30,000 decaying drums and large storage tanks filled with toxic chemicals, which leaked into the groundwater. The drums and tanks have since been removed, but state and federal officials have been working to clean up the contamination for almost 30 years.
Using advanced technology, which Recovery funds helped to buy, officials expect to remove more than 50 tons of chemicals from soil and water within nine months – a process that would normally take much longer.
Nobis Engineering, Inc., a local firm, is prime contractor for the work.

This conversation is closed.
Solving gun violence in the US in today's insane political climate requires a solution that makes it painless for everyone.
First that this idea even needs to be broached in the first place is ridiculous especially given the lack of clarity in the second amendment (eg it does not specify types of arms so that should be handled by laws not as a "do what you will free for all").
That said it seems there are some major elements that would be necessary to reduce gun deaths in the US and there are some obfuscating interests embodied in the NRA that must be sidestepped or accommodated in the solution.
Four main areas of focus jump out to reduce gun deaths:
1) "mass killings" (included in this would be the 2 or 3 person shootings as well as as Newtown or Aurora types)
2) Accidental shootings
3) Non-owner shootings (eg the shooter is not the owner of the gun)
4) "black market" trading
Added to these I would say the parameter that makes gun control legislation difficult is gun manufacturer revenue stream protection using the second amendment as a shill.
So what are the necessary parameters to make something happen vs. the absurdity of what is going to happen over the next few months in Washington:
1) Figure out a way that shifting policy creates more revenue for gun manufacturers so they get the NRA on board
2) Make sure that guns cannot be used in public places or by someone other than their owner
The Idea - Mandatory gun locks and universal kill switches.
On locks, all responsible gun owners have gun safes. Why not move the lock to the gun's trigger mechanism either with a combination code or biometric locks. That would prevent unauthorized use of the gun by anyone but the owner.
On kill switches, in the same locking mechanism put a chip and actuator that freezes the locking mechanism mentioned above when it receives a certain modulated radio signal.
If mandatory then all existing guns will have to be refitted with the new bolt mechanism creating revenue streams for the gun manufacturers and on all new guns they can charge more creating more revenue.

Jan 20 2013: Guns are horrible, violent creations of the devil; but, personal emotions aside, lets look at some facts.
*Throughout the world, it is clearly seen that the more guns that the common people have in possession, the lower the rate of violent crime becomes.*
But we will focus on America, and fire arm contributions to human mortality.
To assume that violent gun crimes are America's highest death cause, and worst problem, one must actively decline to acknowledge other factors of death in America.
Center for disease control reports - Firearm homicides 2011

Well hey, would you look at that.
Maybe gun violence is being blown out of proportion?
Funny how we don't hear the same public outrage about the rest.
I guess nothing makes a good story like scarring the shit out of people. Horror stories are always in season.
But no, the media would never exploit public emotion like that.
Jan 20 2013: difference is your fellow citizen cannot give you heart disease unless they are Mac Donald's. your fellow citizen can shoot you. your premise is flawed that all causes of death are singular in features. also flawed in that the causes of death you mention have substantial public support for solving them. there are many heart disease campaigns, charities, and hospitals. The public outcry already happened when heart disease and cancer and a number of other medical conditions were brought to the public attention. and the idea that guns should not be addressed because there are bigger problems out there implies that there should be some limit to what the government address in a given area. where should we set the maximum? 4? 10 issues? and what should we tell those effected by the other 50 issues? tough luck?
Jan 21 2013: The question is not of death, the question is how you die: the question is after 60 whether you die of cancer or heart disease.. or do you get shot at 20 or 30 that makes a huge difference...even if it is happening to less number of people..
.anyways all will die some day...so you can argue that it doesn't make a difference. But the question is not just of death. the question is also about the morality of a civilized society where people like John Moonstroller think its a part of your culture.
I am an outsider and I don't have a say in your culture, but as an average human being I feel saddened to see innocents dying and when nothing is done about it. I feel the same in Kashmir and I feel the same here.
Jan 22 2013: Great analogy.
Sports related head injuries do kill children, except not in the same quantities as children that die from neglecting to wear a seat belt.
Hence, the proportional attention and safety regulations that stem from the problems.
Oddly, our attention has been disproportionate lately in issues of concern.
Jan 21 2013: I think some wikipedia would help
Country Total firearm-related death rate
El Salvador 50.36
Jamaica 47.44
Honduras 46.70
Guatemala 38.52
Swaziland 37.16
Mexico 25.14
Colombia 11.10
Brazil 11.01
Panama 10.92
United States 10.2
I think you guys are the only developed country who could make it to the top 10 list, Congrats
Jan 21 2013: so do you meant to say suicides are ok. Its just a split of a seconds thought that drives a human to suicide and if he survives that instinct or notion then he may survive and live his life. If a person can survive that depression for a while he may think again and may change his mind. And easy access of a lethal weapon will make it always easier for the person to take that decision . There is no way that he is going to kill himself with a knife because he knows its not easy. Firearms account for 50 percent of all suicides in US and statistics itself speak for it.
Jan 22 2013: Unable to reply to the comment above this one(so do you meant to say suicides are ok...), so ill reply here.
That's a great point, and leads to a whole conversation of suicide, depression, and their "treatments" in the united states which is another thorough topic. But we'll stick to gun control.
While the other 50 percent of suicide does acknowledge that he can and actually does kill him self with a knife on occasion, that is beyond the point.
Our gun laws should, and if im not mistaken do, deem mentally unstable persons ineligible for gun ownership.
The only problem is enforcement of these laws.
Instead the media exploding with this "WAR ON GUNS", and the government banning more guns (like "assault rifles" which are not even assault rifles), we should put more effort into enforcing the already present gun laws. We should make it known through the media that instead of taking away the public's guns, we are cracking down on already illegal possessions of these guns, and making it harder to get into the wrong persons hands.
There are many other topics, problems that effect the public much more greatly, that are being overshadowed by this. (US's great financial situation, our dependence on fossil fuel, our tumorous "defence" expenditures, the environmental ravaging of our land, our unsustainable population growth)
Our real problems stem from exactly this: Ignoring major calamities, pushing them off until later, distracting ourselfs from them, and expecting the best.
Jan 21 2013: *Throughout the world, it is clearly seen that the more guns that the common people have in possession, the lower the rate of violent crime becomes.*
Completely wrong, The more normal house holds possess fire arms the more is the fire arm related death, Come on guys this is not rocket science. I don't understand why would people make such Bizarre arguments. Ok I can make another bizarre counter argument, better to wear bullet proof jackets and travel around,
Just have a look at the below article which compares the percentage of population per country having firearms and gun related death rate
Jan 21 2013: You're completely correct. The more normal house holds have guns, the likelier it is to have a mishap.
It is completely logical to predict a rise in gun related injures as more guns are available.
It will always be impossible to get rid of death because of human error.
But, this is where the difference between violent *crimes* and *gun* related injurys comes to play.
It is also completely logical to assume that criminals would be less motivated to commit crimes if they are under the assumption that every other guy can protect themselves with a fire arm.
Not only is it logical, but its proven.
If your skeptical about the statistics between gun ownership and violent crimes i will be glad to source them to you, as im in a bit of a time crunch at the moment.
Jan 21 2013: You can send me in the statistics once you have time.But your argument then boils down to a simple point that who has a bigger gun or more fire power a criminal or a civilian.Then ask the logical question who would invest more money on guns a criminal or a civilian. May be a normal civilian will invest some money in buying a normal gun for self protection but a criminal would invest more than 10 times on it because its his professional tool.
But lets say if guns are not available in market , then you don't need guns to protect yourself from some one having guns. And every illegal gun in America is legally made.
Jan 22 2013: Again, cant reply further, so heres my responce.
First. Statistics.
Violent crime rate - 1360.07/100,000
Position on gun control - No civilian gun ownership.
Violent crime rate - 387.6/100,000
Position on gun control - Regulated civilian gun ownership.
Yikes, what a difference. Lets check out a different demographic
Chicago 2011
Violent crime rate - 10.33/1,000
Position on gun control - Extremely Restrictive gun control (can not carry outside of home)
Phoenix 2011
Violent crime rate - 5.52/1,000
Position on gun control - Extremely lenient gun control (open (without a permit) and concealed (many cases without a permit) carry.)
Now to your point. The argument does not boil down to gun power.
Not only are Assault rifles extremely difficult to obtain * legally*. Criminals would not carry Assault rifles to rob a house.
Not only that, but it doesn't matter if you have more fire power, this isnt war, this is a few people at most. Its whoever hits first.
Anyway, criminals will get guns either way. Banning guns wont make it harder for criminals to get guns, but it will make it harder for citizens to get them.
And every illegal gun being legally made in america is a bold statement. But one that dosent matter. America sells guns to different countries at rampage. Even to mexico. What they do, is none of its consideration. Gun restriction wont cool off the gun industry.
To summarize : The more civilians (majority of citizens being good, law abiding citizens) that own guns, the higher the chance a violent criminal will get stopped, and the better defended a civilian is.
As one could logically assume, and as backed by data, gun control averages parallel to violent crime rate.
In the end, the more citizens own guns the safer the community becomes overall.
Jan 22 2013: Statistics is correct, but the way you read it is completely wrong . you are talking of a violent city with 37% African Americans(Chicago) leading to cultural tensions and on the other hand comparing it to a place where you have 6% of African Americans. This difference is the major cause of the difference you see there not the number of guns. So to make a comparison compare similar cities with similar demographics and who only differ in number of guns the average house hold possess.
And for the decrease in crime rate
"Based on this, framework, one model for the per-capital gun death rate D would be D = V * G * k, where V is the average tendency toward violence and G is availability of guns, with killing power k factored in. One could get fancier by through stratification: different groups have a different rate of V, and different guns have different effects, and so on. But the core idea is the same."
So here you are comparing a city with high V to a city with Low V.
Further this article say
Horgan points out that since 1993, the number of gun homicides has decreased, despite the fact that there are more guns than ever. Therefore, he asserts, more guns (G) do not lead to more killing.
"The logical hole here is that the parameter V has declined over time, as part of an overall decrease in crime." And in the same period non violent crimes also decreased suggesting that its not the guns its a tendency to do the crime has decreased over a time from 1993.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Assembly is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a bill aimed at reducing the amount of junk food bought by those on food stamps.
Neenah Republican Dean Kaufert says taxpayers provide the FoodShare benefits, and the government should decide what those benefits should be used for.
Kaufert says everybody seems to have a story about seeing food stamp users load up on soda and chips at the grocery store.
A committee recently softened his bill by making FoodShare recipients spend two-thirds of their benefits on healthy foods approved by the state. There would also have to be a study of what the change would cost grocery stores and their suppliers.
Even if the state approves Kaufert's bill, the federal government would have the final say, since it covers most of the costs of the billion-dollar FoodShare program.
Kaufert admits that Washington has said no to similar requests from other states – but he says it's the principle of the thing.
Food makers, grocers, and food banks have all lined up against the bill, saying it would create higher costs for them and for taxpayers.
The state Health Services Department, which operates the FoodShare program, is not taking a stand on the measure. Agency spokeswoman Stephanie Smiley says there have been no studies on the types of groceries bought with FoodShare benefits.

At 9.2 percent, Illinois has the worst unemployment rate in the Midwest. The state added 5,600 education and health care jobs last month, but lost more than 4,000 construction jobs.
In contrast, Indiana's unemployment rate is 8.4 percent. A new U.S. Government Report found three of America's ten fastest growing local economies are right next door in northern Indiana.
The numbers come from the U.S. Commerce Department. Turns out 2012 was a very good year for manufacturing in parts of the Hoosier State that once seemed to be rusting away.
Even in the rain, people kept coming to the annual RV Open House show Thursday in Elkhart, America's capital of motor home production. After sales collapsed right along with the economy, unemployment in 2009 was the worst in America, prompting President Obama to pay a visit.
"We actually expanded our business 40,000 square feet to our facility," says Marckus Szymanowski with Alpha Systems. "It would be about a 25% increase in employment."
Elkhart's 11.4% economic growth in 2012 was actually third highest in America, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. Columbus, Indiana, at 9.6%, was number five; and Kokomo's 8.4% growth was number eight.
The Chicago area, by comparison, ranked 134th, with economic growth of 2.4%.
So far this year in Elkhart County, 14 companies have announced plans to invest $47 million and to hire 1,300 more workers. Local economic development officials see it as vindication of a conservative, pro-business approach.
"The people who take the risk, the entrepreneurs, that's who creates jobs," says Dorina Heiden-Guss, CEO of the Economic Development Corporation of Elkhart County. "And we just want to support them. And we want them to create more."
Governor Mike Pence claims Indiana's AAA credit rating, balanced budget and its recently enacted Right to Work law severely limiting union power, have lured 53 companies to the Hoosier State, with more than 6,600 new jobs.
A spokeswoman for Pence added: "Earlier this year, we passed the largest tax cut in state history, sending the signal that we mean business about growing business in Indiana. We are excited that Indiana is home to some of the fastest-growing metropolitan area economies, reinforcing that we're heading down the right road toward more jobs and prosperity for all Hoosiers"
The leader of the local AFL-CIO union federation strongly disagrees.
"I would ascribe credit to two places," Tony Flora says. "One, I think Elkhart County has been helped in the RV industry because the Federal Reserve and other parts of the federal government have followed a policy to keep interest rates very, very low."
Those low interest rates have certainly made it easier for families to buy the RV of their dreams. The AFL-CIO's Tony Flora also notes that Kokomo would be in a world of hurt if the big Chrysler plant there had shut down, something he claims Indiana's conservative leaders would have let happen, but Washington intervened.

CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE: Four people - including an 11-year-old girl - were shot Sunday night in the Calumet Heights neighborhood on the South Side.
The four people were in a backyard in the 9100 block of South Chappel Ave. attending a family party, when two male suspects approached on foot about 10:44 p.m. and opened fire, police said.
An 18-year-old man was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital with a gunshot wound to the right elbow;
A 16-year-old boy was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn with a gunshot wound to the back;
A 51-year-old woman was taken to Christ with a gunshot wound to the buttocks;
And an 11-year-old girl was taken by a family member to Trinity with a graze wound to the left calf.
All four were listed in "stable" condition, according to police.
No one has been arrested in the shooting as Area South detectives continue to investigate.

Your location: Home > Documents & Decisions > Submissions from Parties
Submissions are a very important element of sharing information, building understanding and advancing
work inter-sessionally in a transparent and inclusive manner. The secretariat recently
introduced this new submission portal to enhance the user-friendliness and
efficiency in submitting and viewing the information and views from Parties.
Parties are invited to use the portal to upload their information and views,
including in response to new/extended calls reflecting the outcomes of the last session of the
subsidiary bodies held in June in Bonn and that are listed in the notification of 4 July 2014 and
those listed in the notification of 13 December 2013 (see INFO box).
The portal is being deployed in phases to progressively replace the submission pages previously
available on the UNFCCC web site and ensure a smooth transition. The current first phase only
concerns those submissions by Parties to be considered by the Conference of the Parties (COP), the
Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP), the
Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) and the Subsidiary Body for
Implementation (SBI).
Until the next release of the portal, which is planned to take place prior to the October session of
the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP), submissions that
are being considered by the ADP continue to be presented in the traditional submission page
accessible at and following the traditional
process, i.e. Parties sending their submissions by email to email@example.com.
The first deployment phase also does not support the upload and presentation of submissions
from observer organizations. Observer organizations are invited to continue to submit their
views, as per current practice, via email. The views will be posted on the "submissions from observer
organizations' pages."
The submission portal is a public site. However, for Parties to be able to upload
submissions, access rights are required. Parties can obtain them by having their National
Focal Point contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information on access rights or other matters related to the launch of this new
submission portal, please contact email@example.com.

Basics of Web Hosting Services
Web hosting services refer to Internet services that enable people to communicate with others on the Internet. The essence of web hosting, therefore, is to allow people to run their personal and commercial activities via the Internet, and that information is accessed anywhere on the globe by people who can access Internet and find those websites.
In this era, many individuals communicate through emails and or blogs, and companies market their products and even sell them online. All these activities require the maintenance of websites or web pages through which one can place their information and others around the globe can access it.
Simple Vs Comprehensive Web Hosting Services
Web hosting service providers provide software and services that enable Internet users to achieve whatever goal they wish to convey through the Internet platform. Some web hosting services are free of charge while others can be quite costly. Simple individual blogging and emailing require simple web hosting services, at times provided free of charge by companies, while large organizations' websites need complex web hosting services that enable more actions to be carried out by the subscriber than those in a simple web page. The cost of comprehensive web hosting services depends on the magnitude of the required services.
Free Vs Paid Web Hosting Services
Web hosting service providers offer server spaces and Internet connectivity to clients whether privately owned servers or on lease. These companies may also provide the same services to other server owners in their data center; enabling them to provide web hosting services to other users on a re-seller package/basis. Free services are usually based on advertisements hosted by the provider, and they are quite limited. They encompass simple web hosting needs for individuals and small enterprises and as such may not allow a lot of actions or control on the side of the client. Comprehensive web hosting services, on the other hand, accommodate a variety of needs and their pricing depends on their nature and size of the desired website. Clients can avail a reasonable variety of control and features including complex features such as online trading, the ability to edit and change scripts or install other useful programs for smooth running of the website.
Choosing a Web Hosting Service
Depending on the web hosting needs of a client, they can choose a simple package or a comprehensive one. The underlying factor, however, is that one's computer and server software must meet the minimum requirements for the web hosting software to run. For instance, if a website features must run on a Java, PHP, or any other software compliant system, any device that is not enabled in the said software cannot run the website. Clients have a wide range of service providers to choose from such as BlueHost, HostGator and Hostmonster among others. They also have a vast market to choose from when it comes to choosing their web hosting service/plan. Some web host providers provide only limited services while others have a variety; such as a re-seller plan, dedicated server free hosting, shared and cloud hosting services among others.
