summer art activities
As I am now working in St Fagans National Museum and National Museum Cardiff, I can share loads more works of art and design! It also means that I've had a lot of help preparing and delivering the art workshops, so thank you to Heloise,Liz, Sally, Ellie, the two Catrin's, Marged, Marsli, Tracey, Angharad and Hywel!
In St Fagans this summer we've been asking visitors to design a new play area for us (we will be building a new play area in the near future as part of the redevelopments) and we have had the most amazing designs and ideas. I think my favourite are the fireman's pole shaped like a worm and a tree house that explodes with sweets every five seconds. Lots of people want tree houses, zip wires and monkey bars!
For the workshop based on the Wales Visitation exhibition we are taking families to look at some of the paintings and objects on display and asking them to create a landscape using image and text. They can use any words they want, but we have also been providing them with quotes from the Allen Ginsberg poem (from which the exhibition gets it's title) as there are such gorgeous and visual parts to the poem, such as:
"Valleys breathe, heaven and earth move together,
daisies push inches of yellow air, vegetables tremble,
grass shimmers green
sheep speckle the mountainside, revolving their jaws with empty eyes,
horses dance in the warm rain"
(Art activities continue throughout August, for more details about the workshops and activities, please visit our 'What's on' pages)

Welsh Super Scientists
Ysgol Clocaenog in Denbighshire was awarded first place out of sixty nine Welsh schools taking part in the Museum's Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation this year.
The Super Scientists won a fun-packed trip to the National Slate Museum where they learnt about the Story of Slate, looked for mini-beasts and built giant nests in the quarry!
Professor Plant: "Ysgol Clogaenog did really well in the Spring Bulbs investigation and sent in the most weather data out of all the schools in Wales! This really was an achievement as schools are getting better and better at recording and sending their data. It was lovely to meet the Super Scientists from Ysgol Clocaenog, we had lots of fun building nests and pretending to be little birds! We also learnt lots about Slate and I especially enjoyed watching the slate splitting!"
If you would like to take part in this project next term please complete the on-line application form:

Flower Drawing Competition 2014
Congratulation to the winners of the Flower Drawing Competition 2014! Here are their excellent botanical illustrations.
- 1st: Abbey – Coppull Parish Church School
- 2nd: Louise – SS Philip and James CE Primary School (Pink 3)
- 3rd: Amelie – Stanford in the Vale CE Primary School
In this competition I was looking for botanical illustrations – these are pictures of plants drawn in a scientific way. This means I was looking for beautiful pictures but they also needed clear labels to show the different parts of the flower.
All of the drawing sent in were really fantastic, so I have put them all on our website for you to see! Well done to all of you.

Spring Bulb for Schools: Results 2005-2014
The 'Spring Bulbs for Schools' project allows 1000s of schools scientists to work with Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales to investigate and understand climate change.
Since October 2005, school scientists have been keeping weather records and noting when their flowers open, as part of a long-term study looking at the effects of temperature on spring bulbs.
Certificates have now been sent out to all the 4,075 pupils that completed the project this year.
See Professor Plant's reports or download the spreadsheet to study the trends for yourself!
- Make graphs & frequency charts or calculate the mean.
- See if the flowers opened late in schools that recorded cold weather.
See how temperature, sunshine and rainfall affect the average flowering dates.
Look for trends between different locations.

Give and Gain Day 2014
Last week, as part of Give and Gain Day 2014, we had 50 volunteers from the Lloyds Banking Group helping with a number of projects here at St Fagans. Some helped with the Gardening Department, some helped the Historic Buildings Unit while some assisted with a project alongside the Alzheimer's Society. Myself and Bernice had the help of 11 volunteers to build a dead hedge in the woodlands near the bird hide.
We had been planning on building a dead hedge in near the bird hide for a while, for a number of reasons. A dead hedge would act as a screen for approaching the bird hide, meaning that birds on the feeders would be less likely to be scared by the approaching visitors. A dead hedge also acts as a wildlife corridor, giving cover to a wide variety of wildlife as they move through the woodlands. Visitors had also begun cutting through the woodland, and one section of the dead hedge was to act as a deterrent meaning visitors would be more likely to stick to the paths.
The first task of the day was the sharpening of the fence posts. The posts are needed for structure and need to be driven firmly into the ground. Creating the sharp end obviously makes this much easier. After creating pilot holes, the poles were then driven into the ground using a sledge hammer. Once the posts were in place, we could then begin to assemble the dead hedge.
A dead hedge is built up of dead woodland material. Over the past couple of weeks I have been asking the gardeners and farmers here to help by collecting any trimmings and off cuts and delivering these to the bird hide for use in this project. Everyone was incredibly helpful, and we ended up with a vast pile of material… or so I thought. Dead hedging takes a lot of material, so along with some of the volunteers I headed into the woods to do a bit of clearing to gain more material.
After lunch, we headed up into the woods near the site of Bryn Eryr, the Iron Age farmstead currently being built. This area has previously been cleared so there was a lot of cut material for us to collect. This was loaded into a trailer and taken over to the bird hide. The afternoon finished with us using this material to finish the dead hedge. As an artistic final touch, we used some lime cuttings to add extra height and a certain je ne sais quois to the finished hedge.
As these pictures show, the day was a huge success! The weather could not have been better and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The 2 sections of dead hedge we wanted to build got done, and I've already earmarked some projects for future volunteers! The amount of work done in a day was incredible, it would have taken me and Bernice a lot longer to do without the help of the volunteers. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us and the other projects too!

Constable goes down a storm in Cardiff
Last week we created a storm in the galleries at National Museum Cardiff with our Easter workshops. Families who took part got to make their own pop-up landscapes inspired by John Constable's Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows 1831. This activity was part of the Aspire programme, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Art Fund.
Here are some of the mini masterpieces created.
We were impressed by the variety of skies! Some were stormy and brooding. Others filled with colour and light. Butterflies, bees, and a murder of crows all made an appearance – and, of course, some beautiful rainbows.
If Constable were alive today he surely would have approved! For him the sky was the most important part of a painting. It creates feelings, mood and emotions. I wonder what mood our families were in when they created theirs?
Whatever mood they were in at the time, they left the workshop feeling happy! Families were asked to complete the sentence 'the workshop made me feel...', and to hang it on our specially-created comments cloud. 'Happy' was the most popular response! Here are some others:
The workshop made me feel…
- Happy happy and I loved it a lot - Jack
- Interested because I like learning about Constable
- Hapus fel y gog achos rwy'n hoffi celf a chrefft
- Welcome ♥

Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows was purchased by Tate with assistance from the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Manton Foundation, the Art Fund (with a contribution from the Wolfson Foundation) and Tate Members in partnership with Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service, National Galleries of Scotland, and Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, 2013.
To secure the painting, a unique partnership initiative was formed between five public collections: Tate Britain, Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, Colchester and Ipswich Museums, Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum and the National Galleries of Scotland. This initiative, named Aspire, is a five-year project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Art Fund enabling the work to be viewed in partner venues across the UK. National Museum Cardiff is the first venue to display the work.
Smoggy London
If you had been visiting London last week you would have noticed it was very smoggy, as if you were looking at everything through a dirty cloud! But what exactly is smog, and how is it different to fog?
What is fog?
Fog is a cloud on the ground! It is a natural part of the weather. It is lots of very tiny water droplets floating in the air. Fog helps plants by providing moisture and does not harm you if you breathe in.
What is smog?
Smog is a kind of air pollution. Smog is created when fog mixes with smoke and chemical fumes from cars and factories. Some of the chemicals in smog are toxic – this means poisonous! It is harmful to plants and animals and can be dangerous if breathed in.
The recent smog in London is a mixture of fog and pollution and a third ingredient – sand from the Sahara desert! The Sahara desert is a huge desert in Africa. Some of the desert sand is very, very small, like dust. Sometimes wind storms sweep up the dust and blow it thousands of miles to the UK. It's amazing how far it travels!
Unfortunately, this mixture of fog and pollution and desert dust means that the London smog is not good for your lungs, and has made some people ill. Smog is one very good reason why we should all try to reduce air pollution!
So what can you do to help reduce air pollution?
Think about air pollution… What causes it? Can you think of 3 things you can do to reduce it? Why not talk about it in class and then click here to check your answers.

Your comments, my answers:
Glyncollen Primary School: Sorry we were late again. We had a busy week as we are going to Llangrannog. We have had great fun doing this investigation. We can't wait to find out who has won the competition. We are going to tell the year3 class about it as they will be doing it next year. Thank you Professor Plant. Yr. 4. Prof P: Hope you had fun at Llangrannog! I am so glad you have enjoyed the investigation Glyncollen. Thank you so much for taking part!
Ysgol Clocaenog: Pen wedi disgyn ffwrdd! Athro'r Ardd: Wedi colli ei ben!
Gladestry C.I.W. School: Although the flowers were open earlier in the week, they have closed up again at the drop in temperature. Prof P: I can tell that you have learnt a lot about your planrs Gladestry, well done!
Many thanks,
Prof P
TOP 10 garden birds
Hi bulb buddies!
Big Garden Birdwatch results
Which are the TOP 10 most common birds in your garden? Nearly half a million people helped the RSPB (Royal Society for Protection of Birds) with the Big Garden Birdwatch 2014. They counted over 7 million birds! Did you help? If not then maybe you can do some bird spotting and join the Big Garden Birdwatch next year? To find out which birds were in the TOP 10, click here.
Which schools have had their first flowers?
Trellech Primary School in Wales, and Britannia Community Primary School in England sent their first flower records. Well done and thank you to these schools!
One of my colleagues her at National Museum Cardiff sent me this photo of daffodils growing in her garden, can you see anything strange about them? The photo is a little fuzzy but if you look closely you will see that some of the stems have two or even three flowers! How unusual! Have you had any unusual plants?
Thank you to SS Philip and James CE Primary School for sending me this lovely photo of all their flowers, don't they look wonderful? In the third photo you can see that they also had some unusual flowers - some of their daffodils did not fully open. This is very interesting, can you think of any reasons why they might not have opened? Did this happen to your flowers?
Daffodil man!
Would you like to see a funny photo of Daffodil man? Click here. His real name is James and he is wearing a suit of daffodils to raise money for charity! Well done daffodil man!
Your comments, my answers:
Prof P: I had lots and lots of comments from Dallas Road Community Primary School so I thought I would put them all on the blog this week, thank-you all for sending me your messages! Congratulations to all of you, even if your flower did not grow, was stepped on, got broken or died, you are ALL Super Scientists! Prof P.
Dallas Road Community Primary School:
I think it didn't open because the daffodil was hovering over it and so it didn't get enough sun and rain. :(
I think my daffodil was in the shade so it did not open.
Someone cut its head off
It didn't open because somebody stepped on it
It died
Someone broke the bud off
Mine did not open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Bulb disappeared
It was a bit floppy so we did not get chance to tie it up. But it is still open.
I am quiet sad my daffodils have not opened but they are growing so I will believe that soon they will and they are really tall.
My daffodil is growing very tall but it is a bit floppy.
My crocus is beautiful some of them are starting to die but still i'm happy because some are still growing and some have opened and some of them are fully beautiful i'm really happy about every crocus. My crocus's are quiet tall some are small as well
my crocus is really beautiful i have got another 3-4 crocuses opening i really enjoy seeing my plant grow.
My crocus has flowered well and is growing quite tall which is good and happy about it all.
I did not get a daffodil so it did not grow.
Daffodil has broke and I had to tie it up.
My plant head fell off. I haven't seen it since so I don't know if it has grown back.
My daffodil didnt open. I dont think mine had enough sunlight
Prof P: Culross Primary School sent me messages to tell me they had named their flowers, thanks Culross! Here are some of the names they gave their Daffodils and Crocuses: Danny, Dafty, Crocy, Abby, Croaky, Dave, Chris, Cassy, Ceeper, Bob, Jim.
Many thanks,
Prof P
March 2014
Deadline Day!
The Spring Bulbs deadline has arrived! I would like to say a HUGE thank you for working so hard to get all your weather and flower records in to me on time.
Which schools have had their first flowers?
Balcurvie Primary School, Chatelherault Primary School, Glencairn Primary School, St. Blanes Primary School, St. Patrick's Primary School, Tynewater Primary School and Wormit Primary School in Scotland, and Brynhyfryd Junior School, Cleddau Reach VC Primary School, Coed-y-Lan Primary,St Athan Primary, St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School, Ysgol Bro Eirwg, Ysgol Iau Hen Golwyn and Ysgol Y Plas in Wales, have all seen their first flowers open. In England, Bleasdale CE Primary School, Combe Primary School, Cutteslowe Primary School and Flakefleet Primary School, all sent their first flower records.Well done and thank you to these schools!
Keep sending in your flower records!
As I said in my blog last week, if your plants have flowers but they have not opened yet, please keep watching them and send me your records when they open. They will not be in time to be in this year's Spring Bulbs Report, but they will make next year's report more accurate.
What if you didn't have a flower?
Thank you to all the pupils who have sent me a record to say their plant did not flower, or that their flower did not open (you can do this by clicking 'Didn't open' in the Flower Record). I know it can be a bit disappointing if your plant does not flower. But please don't be sad! One thing that a Super Scientist must learn is that experiments don't always work out the way we want them to! This does not mean that the experiment has failed. For a scientist it is JUST AS IMPORTANT to record when something does not happen, as when it does.
You will get a Super Scientist certificate and pencil if you worked hard and helped with the Super Scientist Investigation – whether your flower opened or not!
Wildflower Meadow at National Museum Cardiff
Here at National Museum Cardiff we are experimenting with growing a wildflower meadow. Do you have a wildflower meadow at your school? We have planted some seeds and bulbs and the first flowers to appear have been crocuses and daffodils! Here is a picture of them. It doesn't look much like a meadow yet does it? But hopefully by the summer it will look very different. The muddy circle is where we have planted lots of red Poppies to remember the First World War. This year it is the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and here at Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, we will have events and exhibitions that tell the stories of the people of Wales during the War. Click here to find out more.
Your questions, my answers:
Dallas Road Community Primary School: Hi Proffeser Plant!! Prof P: Hi everyone at Dallas Road!
Pinfold Primary School: nearly all the bulbs have opened. The mystery bulbs are blooming very well. The crocus is growing purple flowers. Prof P: What were your mystery bulbs Pinfold?
Glyncollen Primary School: Hello Professor Plant, We're excited because our bulbs have now sprung and we can't wait to get our certificates. From, Year 4. Prof P: Congratulations Year 4! I look forward to sending them to you, you are Super Scientists!
Ysgol Terrig: Our Bulbs have opened and they are 15cm tall :). Prof P: Great measuring Ysgol Terrig.
Rougemont Junior School: What a warm a dry week Professor Plant, our crocuses are all blooming as are our daffodils. Prof P: All the colours look so lovely don't they?
St. Ignatius Primary School: We have uploaded our weather records for this week but unfortunately our bulbs have not flowered just yet. We are disappointed as this is the last week and we can see them coming along but not as quick as we would have hoped. We will continue to keep an eye on them and let you know when they have flowered. Our teacher will need to do this next week as P7 are off to Kilbowie in Oban for an outward bound trip. Prof P: Please don't be disappointed P7, your results are still really important, even if your flowers didn't open by the deadline. Enjoy your trip it sounds like fun!
Kilmaron Special School: We are using the findings of our daily temperature readings and rainfall as evidence in our SQA National 1 Measurement unit. Prof P: That is fantastic Kilmaron, I am so glad it is helping you with your qualification.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Thank you very much we really enjoyed it and are datherdils are blooming and are very healthy and strong through all of these conditions. Stanford in the vale gardening club. Prof P: I am so glad you enjoyed it Stanford, that makes me very happy!
St. Blanes Primary School: Hi Professor Plant, the start of the week felt much warmer. It's the first time we saw the temperature in double figures! Prof P: I hope you enjoyed the warm weather.
Gladestry C.I.W. School: it has grown well i'm a mum. Prof P: Congratulations! You must have looked after your baby bulb very well.
Chatelherault Primary School: Some of our plants are starting to bloom the daffodils are showing the most. The crocuses are still growing but not as much as the daffodils. Prof P: That is very interesting as crocuses usually flower before daffodils.
Ysgol Gynradd Cross Hands: Dyma ein blodyn cyntaf gan LM o Ysgol Gynradd Cross Hands. Mwy o haul plis!Prof P: Llongyfarchiadau LM o Ysgol Gynradd Cross Hands!

Evening ReadingThis is one of those three-day holiday weekends with signature sporting events here in the United Stated. The NBA makes a weekend out of the midseason break with the Rookie Challenge tonight, 3-pt and Slam Dunk Contests tomorrow night, and then the All-Star game Sunday. NASCAR starts the season with its "The Great American Race", the Daytona 500.
Seems to me a couple of games missed out on their chance be part of the weekend's festivities. Bulletstorm and Killzone 3 both come out next week, but plenty of people would have enjoyed making their weekend out of either of them. Granted, it's not an issue outside the US, but if either had released this past week...well, it's hard to beat a three-day weekend and a new game. Eh, maybe it's for the best; it just means more time for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and catching up on all the other games I want to play.
Here are the top video game news stories from today on the Shack:
- Telltale Confirms The Walking Dead
- January NPD: Black Ops, Dead Space 2, and Dancing Titles Win Big

text: Sounds like she is having fun playing with words and sounds. I would encourage that with lots of rhyme play and other word and sound play. Those are really good pre-reading skills. Is she exposed to more than one language? Often kids who are start to learn the flexibility of words and sounds at a younger age than monolingual kids. Either way, I'm not worried about it given that she communicates well.

University of Maryland Golf Course
Campers practice and play at the University of Maryland Golf Course; an 18-hole semi-private championship golf course located on the north perimeter of the University of Maryland's flagship campus. The UM Golf Course is the home of the Terrapins' men's and women's golf teams. Open year-round, the 6,700-yard championship course features a newly constructed clubhouse which was completed in April 1999. The course has long been the site of numerous state and regional tournaments, and the 35,000-square foot, plantation-style clubhouse has become a gathering point for campus and surrounding communities.Meet your coaching staff
Jason Rodenhaver
Directing the camp this summer is University of Maryland Director of Golf, Jason Rodenhaver. Jason was team captain and played for the Terrapins from 1991-94. He's in his 13th season as the Terrapins' women's head coach and 2nd year as men's head coach. Prior to that he served as UM's men's assistant coach for several years, as well as the assistant golf professional at the University of Maryland Golf Course.
In 2010 and 2011 they recorded back-to-back sixth-place finishes at the ACC Tournament. The Terrapins have put at least one player in the top 20 in nine of the last 10 tournaments. Over the last four seasons, Maryland has won seven team championships after winning three titles in the first seven years of the program.
Nike camp staffs are generally comprised of other teaching and touring professionals, college coaches, renowned high school coaches and former/current college players who serve as camp counselors.
Nike Golf Schools & Junior Camps at University of Maryland offer each junior golfer the same opportunity to succeed, regardless of their starting point. Coach Rodenhaver and his staff offer a positive and fun learning environment, one in which campers can thrive under the direction of motivated and highly skilled instructors. The staff is on hand 24 hours a day to provide supervision so parents can rest easy knowing their child is happy and healthy under our care. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week.

The Overnight fee includes all golf instruction, course play, evening activities, housing and all meals. The Extended Day fee includes all of the above except housing and breakfast.

Drugs, alcohol and tobacco are strictly prohibited, and constitute, along with general misconduct, grounds for dismissal from camp without a refund.

The A-2 Flight Jacket was made famous by U.S. Army airmen who wore them as a testament to their bravery, independence and skill. Service tested in 1930, the A-2 was adopted as the regulation Army Air Corps flying jacket on May 9, 1931. Its style continues to be a perfect example of form following function.
The A-2 jacket is available and true to the original design in russet or seal brown horsehide or medium brown goatskin.
True to the original Air Corp Spec:
One piece back, 2 piece sleeves. Talon nickel finish zipper with leather puller tabs, single entry pocket with luxurious curved shape flaps. Epaulets boxed stitched, 1 3/4" tapering down to 1 1/2". Hanger loop boxed stitch through and through. Stand up collar, snapped down collar tips. 8-10 stitches per inch, reinforced pockets corners and wind flap, provide solid construction that backed by life time warrantee.
Its lining of 100% cotton and 100% wool knit cuffs & waistband is also true to the original. Finish touch of A/N inspection stamp and Air Corp stamp on the lining.
If you like to create your personal specifications or modified colors, shape or components please visit the A-2 custom made jacket page.

6 Years with an A2 Review by Tony Ryan
I bought my A2 in horse whilst visiting the US in 2004;Shaul was good enough to have it delivered to my hotel in Boston.I wear the jacket on a regular basis in the UK and no item of clothing I have ever owned has given me as much satisfaction.The horsehide is now starting to look really great rather than just great and it is reassuring to know that it will outlast my hifi,car probably my house and certainly me.Best wishes to all at the business.Tony (Posted on 11/30/10)
Very nice details. Review by Dan Montgomery
I am pleasantly surprised with the prompt service and attention to detail. The medium brown goatskin turned out to be closer to seal brown but no matter. I'll be giving this jacket to my father in law for Christmas and I'm sure he'll enjoy it immensely. He was a B-29 navigator and still wears his in service size! (Posted on 11/23/10)
Great Jacket Review by Mac
Received my A-2 and love it. Great fit and style and just what I wanted. Like another purchaser I was a little surprised at the zipper as I feel it should be slightly larger, unless this was what was originally spec'd when the jacket was first issued.
Thanks again for a great product which is MADE IN THE USA and not China (Posted on 11/23/10)
The only thing better.... is an original Review by Kevin C
The A-2 Flying Jacket produced by U.S. Authentic is the single finest A-2 jacket reproduction out there, from the correct use of materials, proper cutting, stitch patterns, coloring and fit, to the great low prices for them and top-notch service and delivery. U.S. Authentic really has a winner here,
Upon my jacket's delivery, I carefully compared it with my original 1942 A-2 jacket, I treated the comparison with near surgical precision, carefully taking into account materials, stitch patterns, weaving, zipper construction, materials, and manufacturing name, the snaps, snap appearance and sturdiness, the collar clasp design, placement and layout, the wool cuffs and waist band, pocket design, cut and stitch layout, epaulets' width, placement, stitching, and patterns, as well as the collar angling, stitch positioning, length and rear seam. I also took precise measurements of the rear single piece back panel and two piece arm design and the stitch placement along the arm seam. The cotton lining is identical in weaving, and stitching, also taking into account the Army Airforce emblem and inspector stamp.
All together, the U.S. Authentic A-2 reproduction flying jacket is identical to the original jacket of 70 years ago, every bit, if not better, than the repros sold on other sites, and at a far better price, at first it seemed too good to be true, I figured it would be a semi-accurate A-2 knock-off, I'm glad to say that I was proven completely wrong in every way. This A-2 will be with me at all my airshows and in everyday use for decades and decades to come, this is one of those things you hand down to your children and grandchildren, it's really that good.
If you're looking for a solid, 100% historically accurate reproduction A-2 jacket and don't want to spend $1500 on an original, the U.S. Authentic A-2 is the finest out there, only repros of EQUAL QUALITY that sell for DOUBLE the price on other sites.

Awesome jacket!! Review by Loren Swensen (May 2008)
I got my horsehide russet yesterday and just wanted to say it is most awesome! Even over the Memorial Day weekend I recieved my jacket in 7 days! ( paying by money order!) The fit is perfect- the workmanship is flawless! Thank you for sewing on the 1st LT. bars at no charge. This is the jacket i've always been searching for! Thank you again, Loren Swensen Mogadore Ohio (Posted on 8/2/10)
I am delighted! Review by Antonio Bricio (April 2008)
I had not had the chance to write to you to acknowledge and THANK the SUPERB service and quality of your jacket.
I received my A-2 jacket via UPS on time and very diligently.
I am delighted with my purchase and intend to order something more in the near future, as well as to recommend my friends about your products.
Thank you very much.

Details are spot on Review by Steve Hildner (February 2008)
I just received my Goatskin A-2, and I am very pleased! I ordered the jacket Wednesday and received it on Firday, great service. I'm very pleased with the fit, and how the jacket hangs on the body. Knowing that A-2s are form fitted, I ordered one size larger than I would normally wear.
I purchased the A-2 to supplement the G-1 I was issued in the Marine Corps. The Goatskin is beautiful, supple, and just the right thickness. The details are spot on, and the collar looks great either down or up.
Unfortunatley for my G-1, which is in desperate need of cuffs and new waisteband (10 years in the cockpit and 8 years as a civilian), will now be the "dash two" to my new A-2!
Thanks Again and keep up the fine work!

Incredible attention to authenticity Review by John Gherardini (January 2008)
I was so impressed with not only the quality, but the attention to authenticity! I originally purchased a B-3 and soon after purchased an A-2 in seal brown horsehide....WOW! I will be sending my A-2 back for a full back nose art painting and hand painted patches and I can only assume that the quality of artwork will equal that of the jacket. I will also be ordering an additional A-2 for everyday use....your A-2 is really that great! By the way, trust Shaul with his suggestions on sizing. Thanks so much (Posted on 8/2/10)
Extremely pleased Review by Robert Johnson (November 2007)
I just received my flight jacket that you repaired and I cannot believe it. I am extremely pleased. I wish I had known about your company 15 years ago. I would have never bought my A-2 jacket from Eastman. Your product is better and your prices are much more reasonable.
The quality and feel of the lining and the cuffs and waistband are much better and more like the original. I was really shocked. I think they will hold up much better than the original due to fact that they just have a better feel.
When I'm able to buy another jacket, I guarantee it will be from your company.
Thank you again.
(Posted on 8/2/10)
Well worth the money!!! Review by Scott Zimmerman (February 2007)
My name is Scott Zimmerman and I recently ordered an A-2 from your company. Happier about making my order- I could not be! Incredible quality and WELL worth the money spent! I am so impressed with my jacket and the only regret I have is that I wish I had "customized" it before I got it. I am so impressed with my jacket and plan to order another one for my father and one next year for me (a different style- B-3 or B-6). Thank you so much.

From the Kingman turquoise mine in Arizona comes a classic and classy enhancer that will always be in style. A big, bold turquoise cabochon sits securely in an oval of highly polished sterling silver for a look that's simple, smart and very Southwestern. Available in all colors of famous Kingman turquoise, this is a versatile piece that gives extra value to any collection. Enhancer measures approximately 2-1/8" long x 1-1/4" wide and has a hinged bail. Mined and made in America.
Take a journey to the turquoise mines of Arizona with Carolyn Pollack's Newest collection. Set in 14K gold and sterling silver, these turquoise designs hail from two Arizona mines. While Kingman nuggets are bright blue and green with black matrix, Sleeping Beauty is a vibrant blue color with no matrix. Some pieces feature both types of turquoise creating a unique and genuine look.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

I have a question. Are people still bitter about Brett Favre? Because I think there are but I just can't see how. Now, admittedly, I was as bitter as ANYONE when he went to Minnesota and when he threw that pick I laughed and laughed and laughed with everyone else that Minnesota didn't make the Super Bowl. But let's get real here, this is a top 5 all time Packer and at the VERY least a top 25 all time NFL-er. But I've got a few friends like my buddy Bob Sacamano that still act like Michael Scott when Toby comes back anytime Favre's jersey retirement is mentioned. Like really? Maybe time to chill out a little. Take a Xanax and a deep breath. Maybe watch a season of The League on Netflix or something. But stop worrying about one bad incident 5 years ago. Life a life.
With all that said, I think MOST Packer fans are ready for some type of reunion. Jersey retirement, emotional speech, play one of those highlight montage boner jam type deals and make everyone cry. I think that's all we need. Because if you're a Packer fan who is being honest, the Favre years were some of the greatest years. As in ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this ride with Rodgers and Matthews and McCarthy too. But there was just something about those mid-90's teams that I'm nostalgic about. Probably because those are the guys I grew up with. After Packer games on Sunday's I was Brett Favre in the backyard. Just like how kids in the 60's were Bart Starr and kids in the 80's were
Lynn Dickey Bart Starr. So yeah, I think if you were a kid of the 90's there's probably a 'better' chance you've left the drama in the rear view mirror. And I've said MANY times that at the present time, Rodgers is a better QB than Favre. I'd take Rodgers over Favre in almost every situation. The exception probably still being if you're down by 6 with the ball at your own 20 and a 1:30 left. That's still Favre time to me. And if ever needed an awkward sext to an intern. That's spelled F-A-V-R-E as well*. But the dynamic that I think Brett brought to every Sunday was the 'unknown.' You felt like every play something magical could happen. And sometimes it did. Sometimes it was horrific as well, but there was always the chance of something memorable. You were going to swear, the question was only will it be 'Brett F&*(&( Favre baby!' or 'F#$$5ing Favre, ugh!'
So we'll if if next year is the year or not. He's been laying low for the most part like he killed a guy with a trident, and to be hones that has helped. Guy couldn't keep his croc out of his mouth for about 2 years there. But lately it's been pretty quiet. I picture him with a Ron Burgundy beard singing 'Afternoon Delight' at a bar in Biloxi with Bus Cook waiting for a call from Mark Murphy. But I think the time has come for him to come home.
*How bad did Favre need there to be a Snapchat in 2008? Just missed it Brett.
PS: Still a top 5 all time sports moment for me was watching him play the Raiders on MNF. I've never been more emotional watching a football game that was a rout from the word go. That plus the next week was my first ever trip to Lambeau when they played, and killed, Denver. But that was the game in Arizona where the Cards beat the Vikes on the final play to get Green Bay into the playoffs. I remember sitting in the stands with my mom's Nokia brick phone getting calls from my buddy Paul giving me updates on the game from Arizona. He called when the Cards were down like two scores with two minutes left and said it was over. Remember this was before smartphones and Sportscenter apps. We were like cavemen. So somebody in the south endzone had an actual radio as Larrivee called the final play in Minnesota and a slow eruption started like the wave through Lambeau. Unreal moment.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by AYoungNEB Training Shirt This shirt in my opinion is an ideal workout shirt. I have a couple of these shirts and I love wearing them. This shirt is very light and soft. While working out, this shirt feels very light and you can hardly tell it's there. This shirt provides a great fit, form, and feel while you work out as well. I will say that this shirt does run a little short and small on size. Given that this is more of a training and work out shirt, I personally like this shirt the way it is. For training and working out, you want a shirt that is a bit more snug versus being baggy and big which may get in the way. Thank you Adidas for another fantastic item! December 27, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5Â by MBCA Keeping 1 of 3 I ordered 4 of these shirts. I ordered 3 medium and 1 small (not knowing how they would fit). The small, too small...no ones fault, but out of the 3 mediums, I am only keeping 1. Each of the other 2 had quality/sewing problems. I know the fabric is no doubt hard to sew, but 1 shirt had 1 tight arm hole, one flared...looked very awkward on. The other one had a very flimsy neck and was sewn oddly. Another buyer had mentioned the flimsy neck. Fabric is nice and if you don't mind sewing issues, it's acceptable. Can't recommend on my experience even at a great price...price only great if worth it. November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by smitty7973 Great Shirt These shirts are the best. They are light and comfortable and wick sweat away while staying soft like a fine cotton shirt. They can be worn under anything and keep you warm without any wet spots. They usually run a tad small, so if u are on the fence size up one. I am 6', 210lbs with a long torso and a bit of a gut and the xl is perfect. When I was 190, the xl still fit well, but I think a large would have been fine too, depends how tight you like your shirts. This shirt seems to wear best for me when it is a little tight. March 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DarkHorse225 Comfort is its middle name I'm in my late thirties and I've come to a point where I could care less about labels or graphic design. I only care about comfort and I've found it here. The material on these shirts is the same amazing level of soft comfort as shirts sold by the Chive. I love these. I bought one on the base I am stationed at and ended up buying several more from the Adidas online site. I fully recommend these for anyone looking for a great running shirt or more importantly, just sitting around the house relaxing. Enjoy! August 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ian B Great Alternative to Cotton T-Shirts Until recently had been using the cheap 6-pack cotton t-shirts for working out. Boy was this an upgrade. Keeps me cooler, really does "wick away" sweat, and silky comfortable. Planning on buying more! July 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Adidas Climate Ultimate Short Sleeve Tee I recently purchased eight, Adidas men's Climate Ultimate Short Sleeve Tee's for my husband whose a Coach, and he thought the fit was great! My husband typically wears a large but we went up a size as the tee's are form fitting but very comfortable to wear. Adidas offered the quality tee's in a variety of colors that were perfect for summer weather. I also purchased several of these tee's and the sleeveless ones for my ten year old son and he thought they were great too! Yes, I would definitely recommend these tee's! PS my online shopping experience was superb! July 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by iamshoo I am woman I bought this men's shirt because the women's version is too fitted. I use this shirt for yoga. It has just enough fit at the hips to prevent the shirt from creeping up during inverted poses. It's a much more modest approach than a low cut yoga top. Material is very soft and quick drying. January 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RonJon CLIMA ultra short sleeve tee These shirts are great! They are light weight, soft to the touch, breethable, and still wisk the sweet away from your skin. The most comfortable Tees I own! HANDS DOWN. March 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by iLoveAdi Great Comfort is amazing, can exercising because it stays cool and has a great soft material March 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SureImSure1 Best workout gear ever I feel bad when I see guys the gym soaking to skin with sweat because they're wearing all-cotton shirts. They need these Clima tees. They're super comfortable and feel like a cotton tee, but don't scratch your skin like other shirts with moisture wicking materials. They fit well and look great, don't have lame graphics all over them, evaporate sweat quickly, are easy to clean, and don't wear out. I own at least 7 of them and use them for running, golf, biking and the gym. Long sleeve version great for winter. A perfect product. July 25, 2014

Health and medicine
The medical world can be a confusing place. Patients and their families might feel overwhelmed by the large vocabularies and complicated explanations they get from their health care providers. Students entering health care also struggle to grasp the complexity of health sciences, and are forced to memorize huge amounts of information. We hope to make understanding the medical world a bit easier. Look around! These videos do not provide medical advice and are for informational purposes only. The videos are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or seen in any Khan Academy video.
Circulatory system
Your heart sits in the middle of your chest and pumps blood from about 4 weeks after conception until the day that you die. It never stops, and over your lifetime it will pump ~175 million liters of blood. To visualize that, imagine the amount of water that falls over Niagara falls in a few minutes. Remarkable! This little pump is the size of your clenched fist and in an adult can weigh about 300 grams. Watch these videos to learn more about how the heart works, blood flow in arteries and veins, blood pressure, and lymphatics.
Circulatory system diseases
With the heart pumping 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it's absolutely vital to make sure things are flowing smoothly (pun intended!). Unfortunately, this isn't always the case, and different parts of the circulatory system can cause problems: your heart, your blood vessels, and even the fluid in your tissues and blood itself can be the issue. To further complicate things, the underlying reasons for circulatory system problems vary from your genes (nature) to your lifestyle habits (nurture). An understanding of how different diseases can affect your circulatory system is important to combat this growing problem in the world.
Respiratory system
Place your hand on your ribs and inhale deeply. You'll notice that your chest expands and your back straightens. As this occurs, air is rushing through your windpipe and branches off to either your left or right lung. After 20 to 30 more branch points, oxygen in the air ends up in the alveoli where it diffuses into the liquid that surrounds the alveoli, and slips into the blood. This microscopic gas exchange occurs rapidly, oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is removed from the body, and then you exhale. Learn more about the intricate and fascinating respiratory system in these videos!
Respiratory system diseases
Our lungs are composed of a bronchial tree (think of an upside down tree with millions of leaves), blood vessels bringing blood in and out, and a protein-rich fluid that forms a matrix holding everything together! If any part of this well-balanced organ isn't working properly, a person can be left feeling short of breath. The lungs are also exposed to the outside environment, making them prone to infections. To counter infections, the lungs are lined with cells that have tiny protein bristles which wave back and forth and can literally sweep away dangerous bacteria. Learn more about diseases of the lungs and how modern medicine helps to keep them healthy!
Renal system
If you want to learn more about the renal system, then urine the right place! Take a minute and imagine a dirty pool filled with algae. Placing a filter in this pool will cause the algae to be flushed out and disposed of, and after a time you'll have a nice, clean, crispy blue pool to enjoy. Just like the filter for a pool, our kidneys filter our blood and remove toxic wastes from it. Humans have developed a system of disposing of this waste, while retaining nutrients and substances important to our well-being. Our kidneys play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis, or the physiological balance of the body. Every thirty minutes, our kidneys filter the entire supply of blood in our body. Unfortunately, they are also prone to disease, which is illustrated by the fact that 1 in every 9 American adults currently has a kidney disease. Additionally, more than 82% of Americans waiting for a life-saving organ transplant is waiting for a kidney, but only 17% of these patients get one each year. In this tutorial, learn how the kidneys take blood and very selectively extract waste from it to expel from the body as urine.
Nervous system and sensory information
There are billions and billions of neurons in your brain (about 85 billion), and they're all sending electrical signals throughout your body right now! They tell your eyes to move across this page, how to interpret the words that you read, how to maintain your posture, your heart rate, and your breathing...all of it in a fraction of a second. In this section, we'll explore the nature of this vast, complex system, from the cellular level to how it operates at a sensory level. A common misconception is that we only have 5 senses (see, smell, taste, hear, and feel), but we have many more that are nuanced but equally important. Learn more about how our bodies are designed to interact with the world.
Executive systems of the brain
Aristotle asserted that what separates humankind from non-human animals is our ability to engage in high reasoning. This reasoning includes solving problems, making decisions, recalling and recording memories, and expressing complex emotions. We'll explore different states of consciousness, and how our brain adapts and responds to stimuli. Learn all about the higher-order executive functions of the brain, which help you remember your friend's name, learn a new language, and even fall asleep at night.
Hematologic system
It takes between 30 seconds to a minute for your blood to travel from your heart, to your body, and back to the heart again - perhaps a bit longer if the trip is out to your big toe! Our blood is incredibly important for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin, the protein that fills our blood cells, has wonderful mechanisms to allow it to bind to both oxygen and carbon dioxide. This is important for effective and quick transport of the gases around our body. Our blood is about 45% cells and 55% plasma, so the old adage "blood is thicker than water" quite literally holds true in scientific terms! Learn more about how this amazing system works in the following videos.
Hematologic system diseases
Blood is incredibly important in combating disease and the healing process after an injury. It acts as a highway for medicine, stops bleeding, fights infections, controls cells from multiplying too fast, and so much more. But things can go wrong with blood too! What if your blood couldn't clot and stop you from bleeding, or started to clot uncontrollably? What if your red blood cells or white blood cells suddenly disappeared? Blood contains many different types of tissues doing very different jobs, making diseases of the blood produce a variety of symptoms, including continuously feeling tired and bone pain. Learn about the different blood diseases, how they are diagnosed, and the cool ways health professionals treat these conditions.
Immune system
Chances are, you've had a fever or a cough at least once in your life (unless you live in a bubble, in which case go outside more!). Have you ever wondered why your body is reacting this way? It turns out humans have an entire arsenal of weapons against invaders, like bacteria and viruses. We have specialized cells that destroy various foreign bodies in a number of ways, including consumption, expulsion, and degradation. Learn how these little fighters are keeping you alive and healthy in this tutorial.
Musculoskeletal system
Our muscles and bones keep us moving and form the basic physical structure for the rest of our organ systems. They also act as a sort of protective armor against physical damage. Muscles are connected to bones, and bones are connected (via ligaments) to other bones. In these videos, we'll go into how and why we have conscious control of our muscles, how our bones fit in with this control, how each of these components are connected, and much more. A fun fact: The largest muscle in your body is your gluteus maximus (your buttock!), and the bone most often broken is the collar bone!
Endocrine system
When you're nervous before an important speech, or asking someone out on a date, you might feel butterflies in your stomach. This is actually the result of your endocrine system releasing hormones! You can't really point to any single organ as "the endocrine system", because it's actually a family of glands that secrete hormones into the body. Hormones seep into the blood (imagine putting a tea bag into hot water), and as the blood flows around the body, it carries with it these important hormone molecules that interact with specific target cells and organs. This signaling system helps to keep the entire body well-balanced and on the same page.
Lab values and concentrations
Ever wonder about your lab values and what they mean? Lab values measure amounts of electrolytes or cells in your blood and occasionally tell you about how hormones and enzymes are working! Dive deeper and get a good understanding of concentrations as well!
Endocrinology and diabetes
In this section, we'll revisit the endocrine system. After a review, we'll explore how our hormones can cause different kinds of symptoms and behaviors, including normal childhood growth and precocious puberty (puberty kicking in at an earlier age than normal). After that, we'll take a closer look at diabetes, which is a growing endemic in the world as we see a greater availability of cheap, low quality foods. This will include a focus on glucose concentration and other blood sugar levels, and what your body (and modern medicine) can do to maintain a healthy balance in your body.
Colon disease
The colon, otherwise known as the "large intestine," is a tube that's about 5 feet long (1.5 meters). This is where the majority of fluid reabsorption occurs in your GI tract (the tract extending from your mouth to your anal sphincter). The colon is susceptible to multiple diseases, including hyperplasia, dysplasia, and cancer. Learn more about healthy colon tissue and these three diseases in the following videos. Join Sal and Dr. Andy Connolly as they (and you) take a microscopic look at colon tissue!
Cervical spine
Your cervical spine is the uppermost part of your spine, the part that makes up your neck. Take a look at the 7 vertebra that compose the cervical spine, and see different views of a real person's spine! Join Sal and Dr. Mahadevan as they inspect these X-rays and discuss its alignment and protection in airway management.
Healthy lifestyle
If you looked at our "Circulatory system diseases" section, you already know that diseases related to an unhealthy lifestyle are on a critical rise. We hope that the following set of videos will allow you to develop a healthier lifestyle, and help you improve the lives of others as well. This is important for parents, children, students, and anyone who wants to take better care of their body. Learn some of the fundamentals behind staying healthy: Reducing your salt, keeping your weight in a healthy range, and exercising regularly.
Health care system
The health care system in the United States is rapidly changing. To better understand these changes, we review the health care insurance, drug pricing, physician compensation, and much more! join us as we explore the basics about the Health Care system in the US, including a comparison with European healthcare.

There are health differences between being a lark that wakes up early, and a night owl that stays up late.
The study found that sleep habits affect our waistline, fertility, pain levels and even cancer risk.
It also affects your personality, with night owls being more likely to demonstrate dark personality traits like narcissism and deceitfulness.
Researchers interviewed more than 200 people about their personalities and sleeping habits, and found that early-rising larks always eat breakfast within half an hour of waking and that gets their metabolism going.
But night owls are more partial to a midnight meals, and are more likely to eat too much and gain weight.
Night owls also tend to be more sleep deprived than early risers, and they are more likely to snore.
** But the news isn't all bad for the late sleepers.
Some studies suggest that early risers are at greater risk of some cancers, particularly breast and colorectal cancer- possibly because of melatonin levels

The annual Hometown Holiday celebration starts at
6 p.m. with a parade that begins at 10th and B streets and travels to Central Avenue.
The parade will turn south on Central Avenue ending at the Downtown Plaza on Sixth Street, where the holiday tree will be lit.
Even though the National Weather Service has forecast rain this weekend, Tracy City Center Association events coordinator Courtney Campbell said the parade and tree lighting will go on, rain or shine.
"It will be a fun event even if it rains," she said.
The parade, which was inaugurated in 2008, again will feature cars, floats and walking groups decorated with holiday lights.
"When you think of Christmas and the holidays, you think of lights," Campbell said.
Entering the light parade for the fifth year, Mr. Rooter plumbing service owner LeEtta Celestine likes the opportunity to get in front of the community with the company van decked in lights and garland.
Celestine said she participated in the Fourth of July parade but favors the festive wintertime procession.
"We can decorate more and the lights stand out better — it's like a light show," she said.
Like many others who entered, she plans to hand out candy and play Christmas music as her van is judged in the parade. The top three entries in the categories of car, float and walking unit will be announced at the plaza following the parade.
TCCA began preparing for the weekend celebration by moving the Santa Hut to a new spot at the Downtown Plaza on Monday, Nov. 26, squeezing it into place past light poles and street signs to a spot near the corner of Sixth Street and Central Avenue.
Crews also decorated downtown street lights, wrapping them with garland, lights, wreaths and bows.
The city's holiday tree will also be lit at the plaza Saturday. Crews assembled the 30-foot-tall artificial tree on the grass at the plaza and decorated it Tuesday, Nov. 27.
"It really gives the downtown a holiday feel and brings everyone there," Campbell said. "It will be a unique and beautiful way to see the downtown."
Campbell said the plaza, which has hosted events ranging from the downtown block parties to a Cinco de Mayo celebration, will be able to hold the expected crowd.
That includes the line of children waiting to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus following the tree-lighting at the Santa Hut, a downtown fixture for years. This year, Santa will arrive onboard a Tracy Fire Department engine.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will make stops at the hut from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 8 and again from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 15.
Other Hometown Holiday events will continue downtown the weekend following the tree-lighting. On Dec. 8, holiday carolers and carriage rides will run through downtown from noon to 4 p.m.
Shoppers can visit select merchants from 10 a.m. to
7 p.m. Dec. 14 to get a downtown shopping bag, and holiday events wrap up with a special discount day at participating downtown merchants Dec. 22.
