Jax Sectional 3 3
Beautiful Pieces, Tight Curve I have not owned the set long enough to attest to it's durability, but I can say that straight out of the box, it is beautiful! The wicker has more depth of color than the photos display, and as another reviewer mentioned, the fabrics are not a solid color, but have very slight variegation in the weave. Ordering the sample set ahead of time really helped us choose a color. The only negative I offer is that the curve of the set, when assembled, gets pretty tight. The photos don't quite depict it accurately, in my opinion. Providing a plan view of the sectional, or even a schematic with dimensions of the overall diameter, would be helpful in determining space requirements. We're absolutely keeping the set, but will need a few additional pieces to be able to break it into two sections, in order to have it work in our space. March 26, 2014
Classy & Comfy We love this sectional . . . pefect for in front of our outdoor fireplace. We bought just the three piece and it is plenty big with our side table and the height is great - not too large looking like some as we look at the back of it from our hearth room windows. THe red color is nice as it is not quite a solid; it has a barely detectable stripe of an orangish color in it. Has withstood the windy west Texas weather too! March 21, 2014
Quality shows I ordered the Jax Sectional with two center wedges. It arrived promptly. I was pleased with the fit and finish of the individual sections and the weight of the couch when fitted together (I live in an area with frequent high wind). I am tall and I have seen similar sectionals that were too low to the ground for seating comfort. The Jax has a good height. Too early to tell on the durability of the cushions, but they look beautiful. I am pleased with the quality. June 17, 2013

Can the right and left armchair be used together without the wedge?
Don't have enough space for all pieces so am wondering if the right and left armchair can be combined to form one piece without using the wedge in between.

Answer:Thank you for your interest in GrandinRoad. In reference to your question, the all-weather wicker can withstand the outdoor elements, but it is recommended to be brought inside in long periods of rain and snow. It can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water.

Milking Center Management: Drugs Under Scrutiny
Conditions for Producers' Use of Livestock Drugs
FDA Delays Testing Compliance Program for Milk Residues
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced its intention to screen farm bulk-tank milk for a number of compounds other than the beta lactams required by the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance.
This decision is at least partially the result of a pattern FDA sees when analyzing drug tissue residues at slaughter. In the last five years, approximately 7.7% of the adult cattle slaughtered in this country were dairy animals. However, dairy cattle were the source of some two-thirds of tissue residues detected at slaughter.
It appears that FDA will begin testing this winter and continue through September 2011. During this time, the agency will sample some 900 dairies. It will test for 27 different compounds that represent a wide range of antibiotic classes as well as flunixin and thiabendazole.
FDA is apparently selecting the dairies based on a risk analysis it is conducting. One of the risk factors it will consider is whether there have been prior residue issues on a dairy. So if you have had an issue, it is important to make sure that things are in order. Even if you are not at high risk of being sampled and audited, the following are some points you should review:

Veterans are part of the long list of people being affected by the government shutdown. The shutdown is causing a lack of funds for a lot of their programs.
Currently there is only enough funding to continue veterans' claims and payments through compensation, pension, education and vocational rehabilitation programs through October. If the shutdown continues, and a new budget isn't passed, then those payments will not be made in November.
Veterans Employment Representative Tim Shatto said retired veterans will be impacted the most.
But retired veterans aren't the only ones being affected.
Shatto said some of the veterans who work at Sheppard Air Force Base are being furloughed because of the lack of funding.
Shatto recommends every veteran should plan for the worst case scenario.
Luckily not everything is being impacted. All of the Veteran Affair's medical facilities and clinics will remain open and fully operational.
Here is a list of some veteran services being impacted by the shutdown

text: I have an 02 Subaru Forester that's having daily overheating problems. I attempted to replace the motor last summer and all cooling components were replaced as well. The new motor was knocking so I sent it back. The old motor never over heated after being re-installed with new cooling components. Now, new re-manufactured motor has been installed and it's overheating in the same way. It will hit normal operating temperature, then rise with higher rpms and climbing hills. It also rises at idle. Any ideas? I know, head gasket issues were a major problem. The car has a newly re-manufactured motor in it now. Is it possible that the thermostat is acting up after the motor re-install?

Relaxing Stay for Two
We quite enjoyed our weeklong stay at Trailer-licious. The Adirondacks are very scenic, and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. Highly recommended.
Cute, comfortable lakeside cottage
We enjoyed this charming cottage. The location was wonderful. We loved using the kayaks, canoe and floating raft. Tried some fishing but no one was hungry that day! Plenty of room for 2 adults and four teenagers. Brought the bikes and loved biking around the lake. Lots of fun things to do within an hour. Lake George, caving, rock climbing, waterfalls and hiking! Brian was great, made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Hoping to try for a winter visit.
Relaxing getaway!
We really enjoyed renting this vacation home. The house was clean and well-maintained. The owners were very helpful and answered all of my emails promptly. We loved the kayaks, canoe, games and books that were there. Especially enjoyed sitting around the campfire at night and watching the humming birds during the day. The house had everything we needed including a well stocked kitchen . We would definitely rent again! Thank you Jim and Barb.

The men of "Jersey Shore" enjoyed their Italian vacation last season, but once they returned stateside, they raced to get the one thing that Italy didn't offer -- proper guido-friendly, Seaside Heights-worthy haircuts.
In this sneak peek from the show's upcoming season-five premiere, Pauly D and guys voice their appreciation for a made-in-America head of hair.
"I'm so happy to see some American barbers that use straightedge razors and the right clippers, and they know how to fade and shapeup and tape-up," the DJ raved. "We love it!"
Pauly then took a moment to appreciate Vinny's "UFC fighter" cut before soaking in the all-new (and almost indistinguishable from before) Situation.
"We lookin' fabulous right now," Sitch bragged as he showered his head in more hairspray than anyone with less than an inch of hair could possibly require.
The comment and the action earned several appropriately baffled looks from the cutting crew.
See more when "Jersey Shore" returns to MTV on Jan. 5 at 10 p.m. ET.

Love this recipe. You can substitute vanilla yogurt for greek style yogurt and when I do that, I don't add the turbinado sugar. It's amazing how something so simple can be so, so, so good.
Blueberry-Orange Parfaits
StephMerrifield Posted: 07/02/10
JoyRebello Posted: 06/06/09
Very easy and quick to prepare. I did vary and use thawed, frozen, and drained blueberries as that is what I had. I also added strawberries and peaches to the fruit mixture as I had a few on hand. If you like more yogurt in your parfait, you may need to increase that mixture as I barely had enough to complete 4 of these. Kids would also love this pretty dessert or snack. It looks almost fancy and with a sprig of fresh mint could sit on just about any table.
liesel Posted: 06/13/09
Delicious! The kids liked very much. I used fresh orange sections for some and mandarin oranges for some. Still good with the mandarin oranges, but not nearly as fresh tasting. Will definitely make again. The kids had oatmeal banana bread that I made into muffins with the parfaits. I also used regular yogurt because I had no greek style on hand.
cafe114 Posted: 07/22/09
I have made this at least five times since I first read the recipe. I even bought parfait glasses for it! My husband and I both love it. I use more orange peel than specified and use artificial sweetener rather than sugar. This will stay in our breakfast rotation.
jb1963 Posted: 01/08/12
Delicious! I used nonfat plain Greek yogurt, and added 2 packets of truvia per container of yogurt, and about 1/4 tsp orange blossom water that I happened to have in the house.Yum Yum.
Carlygirl Posted: 08/07/13
I will say this is probably a little biased because I don't like blueberries, at least not whole ones. I used non-fat Vanilla Greek yogurt instead of reduced fat. I also didn't think the wheat germ was necessary, or at least not that much of it. It was pretty and I did enjoy the orange slices in the yogurt.

Rebecca & Dustin's "Screw Convention" Re-Invented Mobile Home
House Tour
Name: Rebecca Caridad Facteau (a photographer and artist) & Dustin Facteau
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Size: 750 square feet
Years lived in: 3.5 years; Owned
Stepping into the colorful, light filled space belonging to Boulder residents Rebecca and Dustin Facteau, you might be shocked to discover that you are actually standing in a mobile home (although it will probably take you a while to notice). What's remarkable about this home is how successfully the Facteaus have created a beautiful and inspirational space in such an unconventional way.
After years of spending money on rentals that never quite felt like home, Rebecca and Dustin set out to find something to call their own without breaking the bank, in hopes of avoiding a life centered around paying down a massive 15-30 year mortgage. They started thinking outside the box, and we're so glad they did. This unconventional thinking lead to the discovery of a small plot of land ten minutes from downtown, set on the Boulder creek, and just one block from Rebecca's work. Yes, it was a trailer park. I understand that in many people's minds the idea of living in a mobile home may come with certain preconceived notions. Well, all I have to say is get ready to have your expectations blown out of the water! You would not believe the brilliance that comes from breaking away from the status quo.
While this type of abode is not for everyone, the level of "hominess" and personality that Rebecca and Dustin have been able to create in their mobile home is unmatched in most traditional house choices I've seen. And with a price tag sitting at a fraction of the cost of any ordinary dwelling, this pair of adventurers are free to pursue a lifestyle centered on doing what they love, enriched by what means the most to them, creative business pursuits and overseas travel.
Dustin is a chemist currently pursuing a graduate degree in engineering, and Rebecca is a brilliant photographer and calligraphy artist, among other things. "I like to put all of my tools side by side to remind myself that I don't have to ever choose one thing. I can be a little good at everything! This is why my cameras will always live on top of my books, my paints next to my crochet hooks, the glitter next to the ukulele tuner." says Rebecca.
Over the last three and a half years, every square foot of this cozy abode has been personalized by their creative touch in one way or another. From the newly installed pallet wall in the bedroom to the custom beetle kill countertops in the kitchen, these two nesters are DIY experts. To top it off, Rebecca's custom watercolor and calligraphy art beautifully balance the bright white walls and lend an inspiring air to the whole house. The walls of this home literally speak, urging one to be content, to treasure family, and most of all to hold defining moments and the pursuit of dreams as the most prized possessions over material goods. Rebecca and Dustin, thank you for the tour and for the much needed dose of healthy perspective.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Eclectic, Cottagey, DIY.
Inspiration: Small space tours and articles on blogs and websites. It is really easy for things to look cluttered quickly in small spaces. Even if there is just one thing out of place or one too many things, it can feel overwhelming.
Favorite Element: Our favorite element is how affordably we get to live in Boulder, CO. Also small spaces inspire you to be minimal, which we love. I think it emphasizes what is important.
Biggest Challenge: The hardest thing for us is that we have so many plans for our space and we don't have enough money or time for them right now. We are learning patience with our home projects. One thing at a time!
What Friends Say: Our friends say that they feel like the space is a nice reflection of us and our everyday style. People definitely seem surprised with what we have done to a trailer. I think there is still quite a taboo when it comes to mobile homes. I hope that goes away, because any space can be made beautiful and homey.
Biggest Embarrassment: I would say our windows and our flooring. Cork floor is really pretty, but it is really soft and sadly we have pretty much destroyed it since we've lived here. The windows and floors are our biggest projects that we want to do, and they probably bother us more than anything else.
Proudest DIY: We have so many! Probably our proudest is our recent pallet wall project. We also really love our beetle kill pine counters in the kitchen.
Biggest Indulgence: Definitely our refrigerator. When we moved in the one that was here was the original fridge that was included in the home when it was built, at least that is what we assume. We knew that had to be our first big investment.
Best Advice: After trying to do a lot at once we realized that doing one project at a time worked a lot better for our sanity. I think it is important to have at least once part of your space sort of "put together," so when the part you are working on is crazy you have somewhere to escape to when you need a break.

Very impressive. The only tell is the ceilings, and you barely notice. Kudos on creatively managing a space that most people wouldn't have looked twice at.
Nicely done!
I wish we could see a picture of the outside, since you tell us it's a mobile home. Everything is beautiful...I love their style!
There should be a blog for mobile home interiors. I know South Philly had a magazine with some of the most 'pimped out' rowhomes imaginable.
Lovin' the real. Colorful, quirky, functional, creative, real! All of that and 2 doggies. Would not have guessed "mobile home" if it weren't mentioned. Good on you, Rebecca and Justin.
This is not easy to do in many mobile homes. Hats off to this couple. (Quite like the colors and textures and the shape of that vintage chair in the living room.)
Excellent! It took me far too long to discover that a mobile home can be a fine abode. I live in a 55+ mobile home park where nearly every new buyer renovates 30+ year mobiles that are 1000-1800 sq ft. No way I could afford to live right next to Morro Bay in California except in a mobile. Smart thinking, Rebecca and Dustin! Your home is lovely and creative. Thanks for sharing it.
Is that wall hanging on the green wall by the bookcase showing a sexual position or do I just have a dirty mind? lol
Cool tour. Love the personality and all of the art.
love everything, including them!
For lots of people, a mobile home is a good option. Perfect example of how pleasant and comfortable they can be made. Very nice house tour!
Super cool, you all did a great job!
This place feels huge from the tour photos! Also - I'm thrilled to see actual pictures of themselves and their lives up on the walls in addition to fun and great art. Love their resourcefulness with all the craigslist and vintage finds!! So great - cute couple and cute pups! And I think being a little good at a lot of things makes people SO MUCH MORE interesting. Thanks for the inspiration and peek into this gem!
Wonderful! And I'm glad to see a post about mobile home decorating. I would love to see some articles on special considerations for DIY mobile home projects (i.e. things like painting or applying wall paper to whatever material is used for the walls, any special needs for outdoor projects like adding decking, etc.--really anything that someone who has never lived in a mobile home wouldn't think of.)
I think anyone who has lived through renovation would second your advice to always have one space in order to retreat to when the disarray gets overwhelming. Very important for maintaining balance and sanity while transformation goes on around you!
Wasn't expecting to love this, but what a cute couple and great place! I like the kitchen accent color, the photography in the hall and all over, the furniture that doesn't take itself too seriously, the added loads of storage space without the place being cluttered and the clean crisp bathroom and bedroom. I would live there. Also loved Rebecca's shoes.
I grew up in a trailer park, my parents still live there, and my father has worked hard to make it our home for nearly 25 years. Back in the day, we felt it was a good option for our family and now that my parents are older they see no reason to saddle themselves with more debt when they can spend their time and money other ways. I am headed to see them this summer to do another round of renovations. Plenty of people live in a big fancy house that never feels like a home, and conversely you can live in simplicity and have the coziest, homiest place on earth. Kudos to you both for achieving the latter!
Also, the quote by Rebecca about not having to choose one thing is the best part of the article. I've already printed it and clipped it to my computer screen so I can see it every day and be inspired.
this is amazing! LOVE!
Great home. Small is beautiful. I wish there was an exterior photo
Looks awesome!
No exterior shot?!
Lovely home! I really appreciate AT branching out a little.
For those looking for more info specific to mobile homes, is a good place for inspiration and that sort of thing.
Oops! http://mobilehomeliving.org is a good resource.
Great home! I like seeing that others are using their imaginations in regards to their mobile homes!
Lovely and cozy. Certainly doesn't feel trailer-esque.
It is so nice to see a mobile home for a change! And, except for the ceilings, I would have never guessed it was one. How lovely.
I love how much PRIDE there is in this house. It's perfect!
cute couple; home looks practical and cozy. :)
Nice home! I am kinda worried about the water stains on the ceilings. If there is water damage in the roof, then that needs to be addressed or all the other improvements are worthless. Also worry about mold where there is water damage. Great use of space and light and color!
Wow I missed the title and didn't realize this was a mobile home until I started to read the comments. Great job! Very cozy. I'm not a fan of walking right into the office area but it works.
agree would have had no idea this was a mobile home without you telling us. Just looks like a bright cozy ranch house.
Your creativity and ingenuity are priceless!
So great!
A lovely haimish, stylish home, modest without austerity and full of character without cloying quirkiness. The ideal. More like this, please!
Such a clever couple!
Exterior shot, please!!!
The floors are really nice
It looks like you are very creatively living within your means and enjoying life while you do it. Your home is so warm and welcoming. Great article!
Such an amazing and inspiring place!
Trailers are much maligned! As with everything in life,you get what you pay for and if you spend a little more you can get a trailer that will last as long as a regular house.Ive lived in one for 8 years (3bd,2 bath on an acre) ,and after I added siding and new windows most people dont know its one till I tell them! But if you decide to go this route,be sure to put it on a permanent foundation,itll extend its life by decades! To put it into perspective,I paid $38,000,spent about 12 more,and now my place is valued at 79,000! Smart young couple and their place is adorable.
I would live there in a second... Really cozy home. The kind of people I would love to hang out with!
This is one of my favorite house tours! Thank you so much for featuring this couple who have chosen to live simply, within their means, and do it charmingly. I agree there is freedom in breaking from the status quo. So much inspiration in this little home. I love their words of advice too!
this place looks cozy. I miss my mobile home.
Nice home. I love your art.
I love how much sunshine streams in. The office looks so great. I would love to work in a space like that! The shelves really reflect their fun creative energy. And so neat too! Hmm I need to start thinking of creating a tiny office space for myself too.
I LOVE all the wood! It feels like a cabin. And you are so very wise—your words are an inspiration.
Truly incredible - there is nothing like a challenge of making a small, unconventional space into a home. This is beautiful, and makes me want to buy a mobile home for myself and move in right next door! Great reminder that great design can be sustainable and affordable - and is sometimes the best because of the need to stay small and real. Love it!
this house is so lovely it hurts.
Beautiful job! I love your place.
For those looking for a look from the outside, lookie! I saw this on Rebecca's blog : http://rebeccacaridad.typepad.com/manzanita/2011/07/home-sweet-home-.html
I did some *stalking* around because I was curious what the exterior looked like too.
I'm just not sure if that's still how it looks now!
Your house, the two of you and your dogs are just the cutest, and if I ever go to Boulder I want to come over.
Very nice!
The kitchen cart, counters, and cabinet knobs are killing me!
Hannahbadger, thanks for the link to pics of the exterior.
Lovely, inspiring, free of design cliches — brilliant!
Love the pictures! Where can I find legs like that for a table like you have your computer set on? Are those Ikea too?
What an adorable & refreshing home! It was so inviting!! Cute couple too ;)
Adorable house - I really appreciate seeing small spaces that are both uncluttered and visually interesting/warm. The exterior is just as cute as the inside!
OMG the puppies. I die.
Thanks for your detective work! They seem like a lovely down to earth couple.
creative and simple. Love this decor! Thanks for sharing :)
There are homes that inspire with their incredible luxury. There are homes that are absolutely perfectly designed. There are homes that wow with boldness of vision. And then, every once in awhile, there is a home that's just so, so, so home. Congratulations, guys, this is a happy-making home even in photos.
We've got to get a few photos of the exterior. I'm so curious!
While I think this is a cute house, the missing shots of the exterior make me wonder. As far as the screw convention thing...before everyone goes on about being bohemian and cool, I've got to say that about 7 miles from this location this couple could live in Longmont and have a truly nice home with lovely mountain views and plenty of bohemian. There is a particular kind of snobishness that keeps people living in Boulder while turning their nose up at Longmont. I guess on one level it's "bohemian", but if you're familiar with Boulder and it's attitude, you know it's anything but "screw convention" and more of a we'll do anything to try and stay on the fringe of the elite and away from the middle affordable class we might really be. The owner of this mobile home park has wanted to tear it down several times only to be threatened with law suits by it's tenants. For whatever reason they have a right to rent there and scream and yell to the city council about the horrors of having to move to some place they can afford like Longmont and those rights trump the rights the landowner has. Boulder's not right. And not in a good way.
AWESOME!! I love how cozy and homey it feels, without feeling or looking like a trailer. Excellent job! Want to come decorate my house? :)
Great home. I'm happy to see people who want more from life. Great post AT. I'd like to see more tours from homes like these two.
LOVE this one! beautiful home and free thinking. Makes me so happy to see it, thank you! also love the idea of being good at lots of things,yes! :))
Lovely tour, lovely couple and very inspirational. I like the idea of mobile homes as a lower cost alternative to owning a home. I am curious if it is easy to keep a mobile home warm in a Colorado winter and how stable they feel during severe thunderstorms.
Had to go through the slideshow again and I still feel there's just too much 'stuff' all over. I'd bet the place is similar to the majority of AT readers; not the house shell itself, but all the stuff. No, it's not staged to death or designed far beyon reach, but it does seem good style and design are what's getting screwed and it's actually more like an average, conventional American home than what AT is trying to encourage. It's not bad, but it isn't doing the image of mobile homes any favors. Tour a new 'mobile' model home in the Southwest sometime (or maybe anywhere) and yes, there won't be 'personal touches' but they will be furnished in much more of a "WoW!" reaction.
Leave it to hipsters to glorify a situation and place that many people try to get out of.
It's a darling home which really shows their personalities!
It is really nice to see an example of affordable living in a town that has become impossible to afford. While they could have lived in a suburb of Boulder (like Louisville or Longmont) they decided to be in close proximity to their jobs and school. Being able to walk to work is no small thing. Having grown up in Boulder, I would have loved to move back if I could have afforded it, but I ended up buying land in rural North Carolina because it was so much cheaper. I still miss Boulder though and there is a lot to be said for being able to make it work without tons of money in such a unique town.
Interesting information. I can't imagine why one would be snobby about being middle class. That attitude reminds me of how certain politicians consider being educated and artsy as "elitist". I always think, "Really??"
Well done! I love their sofa and the different colored drawer pulls in the kitchen.
When my soon-to-be-ex husband and I moved on to the property where I live, the house was too small and we immediately thought about remodeling, then building a new one from scratch. That didn't work out, but about 3 years ago, when we discovered the full extent of the structural flaws of the old house (carpenter ant damage, rodent incursion, mold, dry rot) we decided to look at manufactured housing (mobile homes) as an alternative to building. We finally found a 1993 model in very good shape and had it moved to the property.
In the bathroom I've put up beadboard and replaced the vanity, and I found an antique dresser mirror that will go nicely with the new retro look. I've put down bamboo flooring in two of the smaller bedrooms used as offices/workrooms, and built in shelves in closets and the laundry room. The master bath will get a new counter sourced off of Craigslist, and I got the medicine cabinet free via Freecycle.
If you're judicious about your improvements and comfortable with your DIY skills, you can end up with a very nice place to live; few of the interior walls in a mobile home are bearing, and you have a great deal of flexibility as to what you can do. I never considered a mobile home as housing - I'd always lived in stick-built structures - but this is the most comfortable house I've ever lived in.
Of course the outside is as loved as the inside! Thanks for digging that up!
Great house tour!
obsessed with the gallery wall! thanks so much for introducing me to some new etsy artists!
LOVE THIS! As someone who's very not so sure about ever being able to afford her own place, it gives me reason to dream :)
But this part gave me a bit of concern:
"set on the Boulder creek"
As a former Calgarian who watched her hometown get drowned last summer (and especially now, watching what's happening in the UK) PLEASE tell me your place isn't so cheap because it's in a floodplain. If it's convenient to downtown but still quite affordable, generally the land it's built on is cheaper for a reason. I REALLY hope this isn't the case, but its something everyone should keep in mind when buying property. Lots of people love living close to the water - including me! - but that comes with a price.
I loved this tour, but her bf needs to put the phone down for a sec!
I would like details about the kitchen counter project, please.
The exterior shots appear to make this a 1950/early60 possible Schulte brand mobile home. NOW if I am correct you have to give them huge kudos for their DIY skills and imagination. This is just as much a home as any in the burbs of Longmont. I should know I live in a mobile home, in a MH park in Colorado Springs and I dare anyone with criticism of this style of living to find less expensive per square foot living.....ANYWHERE! Love the house and all you have done, cozy and unpretentious and that is hard in "The Peoples Republic of Boulder"!
I'm surprised at all the kudos to mobile homes. The ceilings are just plain ugly. Doors and closet doors are cheap-looking, and door framing is just tacky awful. For what people pay for lot fees and the homes themselves, they could live in a NICE apartment complex. What's wrong with renting? Want a house with a private yard -- yes, maybe -- but you sure don't get THAT in a trailer park. Mobile homes are just plain dangerous during storms and violent weather as well.
My other half loves to watch housing hunting TV shows/redo vintage car shows/let's spend a million fixing up a tour bus shows - but I've never seen anything on any of those price-is-no-barrier shows as lovely, inviting and happy as this home. What a great space! It proves, once again, that you just can't buy style.
Super Cute !!!, lots of charm and character. The only thing I did not like was the crate shelving unit. Exterior pictures should have been posted. Thanks !!
Real people and real living space--I love it! Having been a teenager in the 60's I am so glad to see a new generation making mindful and wise choices. The ability to live your dream starts with the choice to not live someone ELSE'S dream! I love how you've begun the transformation of your home, and I really hope that AT will follow up with you say in a year or so??
Nice, nice, job, and very lovely artwork!
I thought it was funny that people said the ceilings were a giveaway that it's a trailer. My ceilings look exactly like that, but I'm in a condo and the ceiling is concrete. :)
Love your home Rebecca and Dustin. While you do have quite a few things, it seems you have a handle on it and have mastered the art of storing tastefully. You did a nice job in putting your home together, I enjoyed the tour. Thanks,
I found this site when helping a friend remodel his mobile home. You can even eliminate those unsightly seams in the walls and ceilings! Lots of good ideas here.
If you want to be a homeowner and this is within your means, what's wrong with it? It just doesn't have the stigma it did when I was growing up.
I must say, though, that living in Joplin, Missouri, makes mobile homes unthinkable (to me).
I grew up in a mobile home in a suburb of Denver and while it definitely could have used some decorating help (hello wood paneling), it never actually occurred to me that my home was "taboo" or had bad connotations. I had no such basis for comparison until we moved out and I became older. It was an important lesson that often times the opinions of others do not have to mean squat, especially when it comes to enjoying yourself and getting what you want.
If I could live near Boulder creek and have such a lovely home as yours I would be truly happy indeed. I have found memories of that creek, the library, Pearl St. and the Dushanbe tea house. (Although I personally would probably stick closer to quieter Gunbarrel).
Thank you for sharing!
*fond memories, not found.
Well done! I'm impressed with all the clever storage solutions and natural wood used. I especially like the kitchen counters.
What an amazing place! Gave me so many ideas to pin - thank you for sharing photos of your adorable home! ^_^
Love how they lightened everything up. Would also like to see more mobile/
manufactured home remodels. They are built in a factory with good quality
control and will last a long time.
Would love to see the technique for getting rid of the dark, fake wood on so many mobiles.
Great job -
Charming and bright. When I looked at properties with mobile homes on them, I read that they don't and can't use dry wall because the structure would sag. The wooden wall is my favorite feature here-- the natural material balances the man made. I hope the weight won't cause problems.
WOW!! Fabulous place!
I loved living in my Bainbridge Island trailer park for three years (fondly referred to as The Artist Colony)...we had a great community of multi-generational people, just behind the playhouse and walking distance to the Seattle ferry...life was pretty idyllic there. Love your place!
I'm so impressed with the bright, happy, resourceful, creative decor. It's warm and thoughtfully-appointed.
Sticking the multi-colored glass knobs idea in my folder for the future. You guys should be really proud. And so smart to live well on a budget these days.
Love this home! My parents and I lived in a trailer for four years while they built their home, and it was a good experience. The only disagreement I have with Rebecca & Dustin's home is the gas stove, but I'm terrified of gas anywhere. It doesn't help that my business law prof told us about bringing suit against an appliance store who sold a gas stove that exploded and killed the buyer :-(
I have that same cast iron bed! Great space!
What a cool place! How inspiring. Thanks for sharing:)
Haha I had to look back at what you were referring to and I thought it was a monkey. Lovely abode. I love the little cart with all of Rebecca's tools.
Love the wall o' art above the sofa. When I hang an assortment of artwork it never looks that good. Thanks for sharing!
This space is quirky and a little kitschy without being pretentious. Very hard to do. I love it.

THUNDER BAY -- The blast of Arctic air that's swept through the region this week is prompting a warning from the Thunder Bay and District Humane Society.
Maryann Kleynendorst, the organization's executive director, says just because a dog or cat has a healthy coat of fur doesn't mean they're not susceptible to cold weather. Pet owners should take extra precaution when letting their animals outside until the weather warms up, she added.
"They feel it just as much as we do and they need the same protections we do in terms of shelter and food and being protected, particularly older dogs, short-hair dogs, cats. Puppies are particularly vulnerable in this kind of weather," Kleynendorst said.
"A pup, like a baby, doesn't create a lot of its own body heat and things can go bad for them fairly quickly. We'd just really like to caution people about animals that may be OK outside when its -5 C to -10 C are not going to be OK outside in this extreme weather that we're going to be heading out into the next week or so."
She thinks people make the mistake of thinking because there's a thick layer of fur that the cold won't seep through.
That's often not the case, Kleynendorst said.
"Maybe he is OK and maybe your dog isn't actually dying, but he probably isn't very happy and he's probably not very comfortable. And it's extremely hard on his system. Even outdoor dogs need some protection from this weather."
A good doghouse is a start, preferably one with insulation, nice bedding and a flap to keep the cold at bay.
Water is also an issue.
"There are heated water dishes you can buy from most of the pet stores in town and also from any of the feed stores. They work really, really well and they keep the water warm enough that the animals are willing to drink it.
"Animals don't want to drink ice cold, almost freezing water anymore than we do really."
Cats are also vulnerable to the cold, although for different reasons than dogs.
While most can find shelter from the weather, it's where they choose to burrow themselves that can lead to problems.
"They want to crawl up inside warm vehicles. So if you're in a neighbourhood where you know there are some stray cats around, it's probably not a bad idea to give your hood a bit of a thump before you start your car, or lay on the horn a little bit, which may drive your neighbours crazy at five in the morning, but you might save a cat."

Feb 21 2013: Well, Mette, just because someone is charged does not mean they are guilty. Potentially a lot of stuff happens after someone is charged, they may be held in jail or prison, they may post bail, they may decide to admit guilt and accept some sort of plea deal, they may contest the charges and ask for a trial. Or the government sometimes drops the charges, they may decide the person didn't do it, or there is a lack of evidence.
If someone has been charged and is being held, it could put an employer in a bad spot because the person if they are in jail being held, they can't come in to work every day. I would think an employer would not want to fire such a person because it's sort of like piling on, already they've been charged with a crime they may not have committed and now they're being fired to boot, it's a double whammy. However, some industries may move so fast that if a person is being held in jail a month maybe they get too far out of the loop, although it seems unlikely. I would think if the person ends up being not guilty of the charges or the charges are dropped which is like being not guilty, they could argue against the dismissal.

Predy and colleagues from the University of Alberta and the University of Western Ontario found that administering an extract of North American ginseng root to adults with a history of frequent upper respiratory tract infections cut cold incidence as well as lowered cold symptoms and duration. In a randomized, double-blind trial, 130 men and women received 2 capsules per day of a poly-furanosyl-pyranosyl-saccharide-rich extract of North American ginseng for a four month period while 149 received a placebo. Similar extracts have been shown in prior research to enhance lymphocyte function and immune response. Participants in the study were instructed to complete daily logs to document and rate cold symptoms. At the study's completion, it was found that the group who received the ginseng extract experienced fewer colds than the placebo group. Ten percent of those who received ginseng reported having two or more colds during the study period compared to 22.8 percent of those who received placebos. Cold sufferers in the ginseng group experienced an average cold duration of 8.7 days versus 11.1 days among those who did not receive ginseng. Symptoms were also rated as less severe by the ginseng group. Although the study was not designed to distinguish influenza from the common cold, the authors observed that the results obtained for ginseng extract in this study are comparable to those obtained with many common antiviral drugs such as rimantadine or zanamivir for influenza. While these antiviral drugs have been reported to reduce the duration of illness by 1.5 to 2.5 days, ginseng extract reduced cold duration by 2.4 days. Another advantage of ginseng is its potential effectiveness against a broader range of viruses. The authors conclude that North American ginseng extract is "an attractive natural prophylactic treatment for upper respiratory infections." Protocol Common cold The common cold is caused by more than 300 serologically distinct viruses. Since there are so many different types, it is impossible to develop a single vaccine effective against them all. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial has shown that zinc gluconate lozenges produce a reduction in the duration of cold symptoms. In this study, patients received zinc lozenges or placebo lozenges every 2 hours for the duration of cold symptoms. The median time to complete resolution of cold symptoms was 4.4 days in the zinc group, compared with 7.6 days in the placebo group (Anon. 1997). Another study to test the benefits of zinc gluconate lozenges showed that the time to complete resolution of symptoms was significantly shorter in the zinc group than in the placebo group. The zinc group had significantly fewer days with coughing, headache, hoarseness, nasal congestion, nasal drainage, and sore throat (Mossad et al. 1996). By dissolving two zinc lozenges in the mouth every few hours, the zinc will help inactivate cold viruses multiplying in the throat. Scientific research shows that garlic is a source of phytochemicals that protects against infection and inflammation, lowers the risk of heart disease, and has anticancer effects. Garlic is rich in antioxidants that include organosulfur compounds and flavonoids, capable of scavenging free radicals. Garlic also contains selenium, which is required for the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. These properties help to enhance the immune system in fighting off infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Human studies (Abdullah 1989) confirm immune stimulation by garlic. Subjects receiving aged garlic extract at 1800 mg a day for 3 weeks showed a 155.5% increase in immune cell activity. Garlic and garlic preparations increase the activity of immune cells, including macrophages that kill infectious invaders. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-036.shtml Featured Products Zinc Lozenges Zinc is a mineral essential for formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the body's most important free radical scavengers and one that cannot be directly supplemented. Zinc also promotes wound healing, immune function, taste sensitivity, protein synthesis, insulin production, and reproduction including organ development and sperm motility. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00061.html Sports Ginseng Sports Ginseng is the highest quality and most effective form of ginseng for athletes who train and compete at peak levels, and for active men and women of all ages in search of good health and vibrant energy.* Sports Ginseng is standardized with naturally balanced concentrations of active and co-active constituents, including ginsenosides, panaxosides, eleutherosides, and Rg and Rb factors, while retaining and enhancing all the whole root synergistic benefits that are so significant in natural herbs.

Pick Up Gown with Beaded Lace Embellished Bodice Style PWG3497 12 12
Can't Wait! This was the last dress I tried on at my first ever dress shopping. After the stores discontinued this style a month later I was devastated. I wasn't sure this was "the" dress since I only tried it on once. I tried looking for others but I always came back to this dress. (I could not get over the beading on this dress. It was the first and only time I used the word 'love' with a dress!) I ended up taking a chance and buying it online, and it was the best decision ever! I cannot wait to wear this gorgeous dress on my special day in 2015! It's a shame that DB is discontinuing this dress because it's absolutely gorgeous!!! September 9, 2014
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING Words can't even begin to describe how I felt in this dress on my wedding day! That, an my handsome husband being by my side. The dress was just absolutely gorgeous!! It was as if it were made for ME!!! I tried on a few other dresses and to my surprise they all looked wonderful on me, but I kept coming back to this one. I knew then that it was "THE ONE". The dress was just amazing for our wedding day and came together nicely with everything else. Again, just absolutely stunning dress and it draped my waist line to perfection!!! Sooo very happy I chose it. May 14, 2014
all eye's on me i'm going with a vintage theme wedding, and this one yelled out princess and vintage with the beading. There was a group of women waiting for another bride, plus my brother and his friend and when I tried on this dress everyone's eyes looked straight at me and said that's the one. I couldn't feel more like a bride. I love it. Big thanks to my brother who purchased the dresses. Can't wait to surprise everyone at the church and see the look on my grooms face. April 25, 2014
Wow! I had my eye on this dress from looking through the website before going in to try on dresses. I was hesitant because the dress looked awesome on the size 0 model in the pic, but how does it look on a bigger girl..... Well I'm a size 16 and I think the dress looks wonderful, so very excited to wear it on wedding day! The only thing is that it's a big heavy dress, I'm getting married in Vegas and I know I'll have to straddle an ac vent and maybe put some ice packs to use! November 15, 2013

Dynamic Duo of the Homoeopathic world.
They practice in Vile Parle the quiet and plush suburb of Mumbai, India. They provide Homoeopathic care to patients from all sectors, all age groups and different parts of the world. Homoeopathy with its holistic approach targets the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis directly and is therefore the right answer for Stress of the modern world. Allergies, autoimmune problems, orthopaedic problems like arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressures are well controlled by the science.
The doctors have documented cases of chronic renal failure, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematus ( SLE) , cerebral palsy ,psoriasis , asthma, thyroid disorders, pneumonia, Poly cystic ovarian disease and petit mal epilepsy which have been taken care of exclusively with Homeopathy. These cases have been regularly monitored pathologically and evaluated by specialists in the respective subjects.
Their achievements have been recognized by the ' Science museum of London ' where the doctors working in their clinic are on display representing Homoeopathy.
They are specialists in understanding the psyche and the core personality of patients and they train doctors from all over the world in this art .They have patients and parallel clinics in different parts of the world like England and America.

Electric Table Warmer with Digital ControlKeep your clients toasty warm with our custom 26" x 67" heating pad. It has 10 heat settings to guarantee perfect comfort for every client. Internal temperature 170°. Table warmer will shut off automatically after 10 hours. 1 year warranty. Color: WhiteETL approved and labeled
I bought this warmer over two years ago. I didn't know what to expect after some of the bad ratings, but it's been a faithful warmer that I use almost every day. I just follow the directions (important clue) and remember to turn it off at the end of every day.
I have owned two of this exact model. The first died in 10 months. The second lasted 22 months. I am purchasing a different brand this time. My advice, spend a little extra and get a better quality product.
Even though it needs to be used under a pad and it doesn't have straps to hold it onto the table, it works well. My clients have loved it so far, and it's so simple to use.
I had this brand of table warmer and it lasted me 13 years in a very busy practice. The only thing I don't like about the current model is that the surface of the pad is a little slippery so when clients turn over, the sheet covering it seems to bunch up. Otherwise, the major improvement they made is that it shuts off after 7 hours. Would highly recommend.
I had one of this exact model for FIVE YEARS before it died. I was thrilled to see that they are still making it. With the multiple heat settings and NO TIMER it is perfect! Spend the few extra dollars...you won't regret it!

We offer two ways to locate information:

Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
The 2010 vintage of this Chardonnay was crafted from a blend of grapes from premium vineyards in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Carefully tended vines yield fruit of exemplary quality: a pure expression of the valley's terroir. The cool foggy mornings are tempered by luxuriously warm afternoons to achieve fruit maturity without loss of depth or suppleness.
"Great acidity and minerality in this elegant young wine. Doesn't show the rich concentration of De Loach's single-vineyard Chards, but then again, it costs far less. It's actually a good value for a try, minerally and complex Russian River Chardonnay. Don't drink it too cold. Editor's Choice "

The impact of the U.S. military's formal repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" was "negligible, if that," according to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby, a sentiment that is being bolsterd by a book the Marine Corps University Press is publishing this month, just seven months after the policy was repealed. The book, titled "The End of Don't Ask, Don't Tell: The Impact in Studies and Personal Essays by Service Members and Veterans," notes that retention remains high across the board and recruitment is likewise consistent, reaching 100 percent of goals. Even critics of repeal have gone silent. Arizona Sen. John McCain, once an outspoken opponent of eliminating the "don't-ask-don't-tell" policy, has remained uncharacteristically mum on the issue, declining to respond to media requests for comments on the repeal's impact. — Fatima Najiy

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Rashad Richardson drained a half-court shot at the buzzer to give the Georgia State Panthers a thrilling 59-57 victory over the Tennessee State Tigers as part of the Coaches vs. Cancers Classic at GSU Sports Arena.
Richardson finished with nine points for the Panthers (2-2), while Devonta White led the way with 19 points and Cameron Solomon finished with 10.
Robert Covington led the Tigers (1-4) with 13 points, while Patrick Miller and Jordan Cyphers each added 12 points.
Both teams struggled from the floor in the first half. The Panthers shot 33.3 percent from the field. but did hit on 4-of-11 three-point attempts to take a slim 25-24 lead at the break. The Tigers shot just 37 percent in the half and could only manage to make 3-of-13 from beyond the arc.
After the break the Panthers heated up, connecting on 57.1 percent of their field goal attempts. The Tigers shot only 40.6 percent in the second half, but a 15-6 advantage from three-point range allowed them to stay close.
The Tigers took a 57-56 lead on a layup with just two seconds remaining, but after a Georgia State timeout, Richardson caught the inbounds pass at mid- court, turned and launched the 45-foot game winner.
TSU outrebounded the Panthers 37-27 in a game that experienced six ties and 19 lead changes. The hosts outscored the Tigers 11-3 at the free-throw line.

Hence the title.
As a kid, getting sick had a sort of glamorous quality. Like maybe terminal illness could bring what a day off school had shown a glimpse of. Maybe getting sick, for good, would result in endless days of what was currently limited to strictly "sick day," activities; binge TV watching, recreational sleeping and, abnormally high quantities of TLC that resulted in baked goods on demand.
Back in the day, as a ten year old aspiring actress, the role of "sick," inspired emotions I was sure were authentically A-List, and would someday take me to overnight celebrity, if only I kept up practicing.
"I can't go to church, I feel soooo sick."
STEP ONE of highly effective shenanigans; If peaceful pleading dosen't work.. gather your weapons.
If an Oscar wasn't in the cards for acting, not a big deal, my production team was a one man army..."sick day," tactics meant props. Lots of props (light-bulb warmed thermometers, ice cubes, orchestrated and recorded coughing soundtracks)..you know the drill.
STEP TWO: broaden your horizons, test the limits.
Later in life, high school would cast me in the role of love-sick, a slightly more sexy and sly character than that of the nine-year old dumping water in her bed to fake a traumatic case of incontinence (totally a hypothetical situation....)
Now, sick days were siiiiick, the cool slang term. Sick days offered eight hours of alone time with whomever the significant other was of the moment for a sick day of the teenage version of TV watching, recreational sleeping and abnormal TLC quantities. Oops.
Props? An alluring knit blindfold craft of finely refined pure silk bullshit, bought by the loveable but dumb archnemisis; my mother. Sorry mommy.
In short, if faking sick was a class, by now I would have aced, majored, mastered and stuck around for a PH.D in dramatics; exaggeration my native language.
STEP THREE: TBD (present day)
So when sick the remix (the one that's legit, non-voluntary and thus terrifying) showed up on eve of my 22nd birthday; I too, was surprised by the level of D-List (think Mariah Carey in Glitter quality) performance I put on. (WTF, self, get your shit together, we practiced for this; no tears, just staunch logistics...props? masks.. "i'm doing really well!!" lines, "i'm fine," Setting? Life. Front stage and center...
Instead of a starring role, I felt stuck preforming a community theater version of a MADtv skit; not funny, not all there, and seemingly endless.
Sick. sick. sick. sick.
STEP? Can I go back to practice round please?
As if nine again, I binged on otherwise avoided TV, trading reality for comedies that kept me from thinking, and binge slept to avoid from seeing friends who I didn't want to guess what was going on inside me. As for TLC? Thanks for your tender touch, THC.
Somewhere, after years of practicing, acting sick had skipped past the role of understudy and gone onto a reality-TV star sized cameo.
Pre-maturely cursing my body to misery, my shoulders were weighed re-hashing how good it all had been. My impending birthday loomed like the unavoidable goodbye kiss that threatens as the clock ticks…
22. Was this it?
Three weeks later, It's not humble of me but I'd like to award myself for an Oscar in the bullshit category.
No, I wasn't faking it, I'm quite sick in the "oh shit! my cells are eating each other!" sense....but it's not all hopeless.
Yes, my list of doctor's appointments for the week is longer than the list of things I've eaten for breakfast in the past month, my veins have puckered up purple ever awaiting a hook up sesh with the IV, and the number of places I've publicly cried is embarrassingly beginning to resemble a visitor's map to San Diego; (Balboa? Check. Beach? Check. Coronado Bridge? The Pearl? El Camino? Santana's? Check. Check. Check, and YEP, (drive-thru, red sauce ASAP. judge me) CHECK.
But if I've learned anything from these past weeks, besides enough hands on research in the psychology of what constitutes Crazy Bitch Syndrome (CBS , acronymnage yes please) to write and illustrate a three volume memoir entitled "Insanity;" it's this..
I can honestly say the cliché, "You are your worst enemy," ultimately should (and in essence) is the Golden Rule (and should probably be a more common tattoo, because it's easy to read and yet carries such *deep personal meaning* (the $$$$ equation for non-douchey tattoos)
Anyway, I digress..Long story short, Being your own worst enemy is super easy, in case you're wondering and have never watched a movie, or skipped the above paragraph with the illegal drug reference and thus have no reference to conclude how simple self-sabotaging can be.
Self-sabotage is foremost an activity of severing connectivity.
Because at the end of a really, really terrible day, being alone and isolating yourself truly can feel like the safest space; especially when among your (well-meaning) friends being sick seems the only topic on which you can contribute genuinely, as now, you're life is inevitably changed, "so what are you going to do??".
You're going to keep living (inevitably, at least for the time being) And admitteding it is the first step to slaughtering your enemy.
Because being alone doesn't stop you from living. Whether or not you like it being sick doesn't cut off your capacity to love, or give, or to take when needed, at least it shouldn't, if you ever were alive in the true sense.
Yes, normal topics will now exit stage left for more serious discussions you'd rather not be having that will nonetheless take center stage and feel reminiscent of Intervention.
Yes, at the end of the day life is inevitably changed; that's what life is, a string of change, interwoven with familiar chains and patterns and events.
Yes, the past few weeks have been hard, but a lot of pain was simply expecting. Expecting to feel better, expecting to wake up, expecting things from people who were expecting things from me; expecting is a spin cycle that expects then gets upset when the expectations suddenly are relentless and unforgiving.
Expecting lives in another dimension where gravity plays no role in reality.
Sick wasn't among the repetitions I saw for my 20's, 30's, or really in honesty at any point. We can't foresee these things; if we could, we'd probably all be too busy digging down to our six feet to stop and see the necessity of sick to appreciate what IS healthy.
Life changes can feel dramatic, but in truth, I think they happen in small increments; little shifts that are rooted in fear and web out and manifest themselves in all manner of uncertainties; from worrying over what will happen within the hour, to worrying ridiculous amounts over situations that don't exist (if I die who will put my apt up on craigslist?? who will care of my orchids?? she complimented my ring should I leave it to her? ) Ridiculous shit, rooted in anxiety, from big, to little things like text messages (was that obvious? Will he read into this? are they saying that only because I'm sick?)
I worried.
healthy or sick the moral stays the same..
WHO CARES? Life is short. At some point you will probably be a mess.
Maybe everybody will know it and be nice and let you know it, or maybe they'll play nice and let you go along with it and pretend to forget.
In the grand scheme of things only you control you, and even that is limited (see every form of sickness from colds to cancer and everywhere in between).
Life is perception; a weird hybrid of a limited imagination and the infinity of actuality...And reality? Somewhere in between the two but wholly up to how you drink it in.
I do stupid things, and that didn't change the day I found out I was sick and sadly won't stop when "health" is prescribed to me again. I'm human and thankfully I'm loved, by a rare-breed of humans who know me/love me enough to TLC me through stupidity, because someday they might do or have done something stupid too. Maybe.
The last weeks have sewn together the pockets of people who are family to me no matter the season; leaving threads of people with well-meaning but thin intentions somewhere at the outlying seams to come and go as they please.
And that's okay. C'est la vie... all sorts of relationships, no matter how stiflingly saccharine, piece together the whole equation… what makes the others that much more worth it.
So? This whole long thing is half of an apology to those that know me (and thus saw me go a little, Girl, Interrupted) those that don't and probably rightfully assume I am all kinds of Girl Interrupted (you are completely correct, except if Angelina Jolie was played by Snooki obviously) and a bit of a "here's whats up with me…" type of thing…
Four weeks ago I wrote, "existing is our reality, living is our opportunity." Honestly, a month removed from it I can say I probably liked the way fancy adjectivery of it much more than I ever understood it, or really could begin to know what it meant.
Life is for living and for the rest of my days, weeks, months, treatments, freakouts, fine days, high days, terrible no good very bad days, if you love me, remind me of the deliciousness of it all, and that my biggest enemy, the D-list actress, should take a seat, immediately.

Sizing Information
Have a look at Joe Rocket's sizing chart. We feel this size chart gives an accurate estimate of size for this product.
Our Two Cents
The Women's Sonic jacket offers protection and versatility not found in many leather jackets. The jacket, like many solid leather jackets, will work in cold to mild temperatures, but can be transformed to work in quite hot weather. Two large panels running along the arms and down the sides of the jacket can be removed to expose a mesh core that will work great for warm weather rides. For colder days there is a removable insulated vest liner that can be installed. For a comfortable fit, the jacket has corset-like adjusters in the back that will make it suitable for different body shapes and sizes. The jacket comes with removable CE approved elbow and shoulder armor and a foam back pad. For added nighttime visibility there is reflective piping outlining the back of the jacket. There is an 8" zipper in the back of the jacket for attachment to compatible Joe Rocket pants. Take the "View Larger Pictures" link above to see some good closeups of the jacket and its features.
