ABA moot court team goes to quarterfinals
Two teams from Wayne State University Law School competed in the American Bar Association National Appellate Advocacy Competition's St. Louis Regional moot court recently. The team of Bonnie Smith and Frances Murphy, oralists, and brief writer Nick Ranke advanced to the quarterfinals, where they were defeated by the team from Faulkner University's Thomas Goode Jones School of Law, which won the regional contest.
Also competing were Wayne Law students Kyle Kamidoi and Ryan Fishman, oralists, with brief writer Stephen Frey.
The teams are made up of third-year students selected through competitive tryouts, and work hard throughout most of the year to get ready for the event, which involves a hypothetical appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. This year's topic was false arrest, malicious prosecution and the Fourth Amendment.
Murphy said that her team was "ranked in the highest of the middle brackets, thanks to Nick's well-written brief."
Legal Writing Instructor Amy Neville travelled with the teams and served as faculty advisor.
The competitors said they were grateful to her and other faculty members, alumni and local practitioners who helped them prepare in practice arguments, and also thanked the Law School's Business Office staff for helping arrange their funding, travel and accommodations.
The teammates have selected their successors for next year: oralists Lauren Saad, Kevin McQuillan, Wade Fink and Katie LaForest; and briefwriters Blair Gould and Katie Morin. Evan Malinowski was selected as alternate.

Double and Single Dip Trail Races in Missoula this Weekend
For many runners, one of the best things about summer is the sheer number and variety of competitive races.
With so many events to choose from, sometimes it's difficult to decide which ones truly are worth the entry fee. In my opinion, the Pengelly Double Dip and Single Dip — which take place in Missoula this Saturday, June 9 — are two races that definitely make the cut.
I participated in last year's Single Dip, which is a 10-kilometer (6.2-mile) race that begins on the Kim Williams trail near The University of Montana campus. The course takes runners up the "M" trail, across Mount Sentinel, and through part of the university residential district before looping back to the starting line.
The Double Dip, which is a half-marathon (13.1 miles), goes all the way to the top of Mount Sentinel and weaves around various trails on the mountain.
Let me tell you, starting a race with a 1.5-mile climb up a steep mountain trail certainly is a challenge, but it also is something that sets this race apart from other running events, making it worth the effort (and pain). The gorgeous views of Missoula and awesome race volunteers add to the experience as well.
When I finally crossed the finish line, my legs were totally dead. I could barely walk to the post-race refreshments table to get a cup of Gatorade. But I must admit, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. Plus, it was fun to sit and watch the Double Dip competitors come through the finish line — many of them adorned with scrapes, scratches and mud splatters.
If you're a runner looking for something a bit more exciting than the standard road race, I recommend checking it out. For more information or to register, visit Run Wild Missoula's website.

Jennifer Garant is one of the most highly licensed artists in the world. Her Signature Chefs have been distributed world-wide on a wide variety of licensed products for the home. Her art has been distributed on posters in over 50 countries as well as on thousands of products for the home. Each year her collector base grows as well as the companies that license her art for their products.
Her figurative paintings capture the essence of whimsical charm and humor.
Though you can find her artwork in thousands of stores there is a huge demand for her originals. There are collectors from all around the globe from Hollywood celebrities , sports heroes, business icons to world renowned chefs. "I guess the best thing for me to hear when someone looks at my work is that it makes them smile, whether the characters are thin or larger than life they exude humor, charisma, and charm", Jennifer muses.
At the age of 27, Jennifer was commissioned by the Vancouver General Hospital to paint what would become the largest mural in North America at the time.
Jennifer has done numerous sold-out shows and currently resides in La Quinta, California. In January 2006, Jennifer's painting "Faux Paw" was featured on the cover of Art Business Today. In the March 2006 Decor Magazine, in an article entitled "A League of Their Own", Jennifer was named one of the top five women making a difference in the art and framing industry.
Jennifer likes to work on heavy weight French paper as well as canvas where she employs a special old world texturizing technique which gives a contemporary image a look and feel as though it was been painted a long time ago. In a lot of her work, you will spot her attention to detail and her flair and love for scarves, shoes and fabric as well.
Many of her chefs have wine and food and also include the French influences of Paris as well as New Orleans. New Orleans has been her favorite city since the first time she visited it. "There is something in the air and though it is a city I would liken it to a valuable work of art only to be outdone by the charm of those who live there. I would like to think that my artwork comes from the spirit of good food, good wine, good music, good laughter and dancing and a good life. I love what I do and I hope that it shows."

New Eagle Scout
Boy Scout Andrew R. Lemmon of Williamsburg recently completed his Eagle service project at the Williamsburg Parent Cooperative Preschool located at Saint Martin's Episcopal Church on Jamestown Road. Lemmon's project was to build a learning garden for the preschool. The project included building six raised garden beds for each preschool class, building a brick patio and raising a wooden pergola for the patio. The learning garden is a part of the curriculum that teaches the preschoolers the annual growing cycle of a bountiful garden. Lemmon designed the learning garden with input from the preschool director and board to complement the preschool's philosophy of enabling children to learn independently through exploration and discovery. Lemmon is a Life Scout with Troop 242 in Newport News and is a rising senior at Jamestown High School.

With 2011 predicted to be the year when the IT industry will reach nearly $3.5 trillion in revenue and show long-term growth for the next five years, Gartner, Inc. analysts have presented business and IT issues that warrant the greatest attention and demand the clearest strategies for the future.
"We are increasingly living, playing and working in a digital world where people will have no alternatives but to become 'more digital' with the assets they have available," said Stephen Prentice, vice president and Gartner Fellow. "In 2012, the Internet will be 75 times larger than it was in 2002, and if Facebook was a country, it would be the third largest in the world (after China and India). Device and data proliferation is also a reality that cannot be escaped. Smart devices will rise from 60 billion devices in 2010 to more than 200 billion in 2020."
"Technology is no longer the preserve of the CIO," said Ken McGee, vice president and Gartner Fellow. "It has become everyone's property and everyone's issue."
With the IT industry on track to show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4 percent for the next five years, Gartner has identified seven business and IT issues that CIOs should act on during the next three years. "CIOs will need to begin implementing these technologies within three years to meet the six year predictions," Mr. McGee said. The seven issues include:
10 Top Google Apps for Document Management 10 of the highest-rated apps for document management from the Google Apps Marketplace.
13 of Today's Hottest Tech Skills Highlights of the most in-demand skills and their growth over the past year.

Jollibee Foods Corporation is helping financially challenge students finish College through a program dubbed as SEEDS stands for Skills Enhancement and Educational Development for Students.
I have been searching on the Internet in my hopes to gather more information about this program. But it seems I can't find a reliable or shall I say detailed website about this. Even the Jollibee website does not have a page specifically design to discuss SEEDS.
Luckily, a classmate of mine is a SEEDS scholar so I have something to say in here. Your school must have an existing partnership with Jollibee. Jollibee will pay only up to P12,000 pesos. The rest will be shouldered by you. And you need to work at a Jollibee store too. So this is not a free scholarship at all. It's like getting a loan but instead of paying it in monetary terms, you will have to render services at Jollibee. It is indeed a working student program of the company. Working hours depend on your class schedule. It can be a 4 to 5 hr-shift a day and definitely it won't conflict your schedule at school. According to my classmate, she still receives something though on paydays.
Well, basically you can just ask your school registrar or the school you intended to enroll if they accept SEEDS scholar or inquire at a Jollibee store near you.
I sent Jollibee an email and will update this blog once I get a reply from them.
For the meantime check out the schools I found that are in partnership w/ Jollibee.
National College of Science and Technology
Technological Institute of the Philippines
College of Technological Sciences-Cebu
I called Jollibee Customer Care and they refer me to 634 1111 as the correct number to dial. So there you go, 634-1111! Call them now and inquire!
Feel free to drop a comment below to add more information about this!
Update I: As per Jollibee Foundation, one can inquire about the SEEDS working student program at any Jollibee, Chowking or Greenwhich store.
Update II: CLICK ON THE LOGO TO VISIT JOLLIBEE's WEBSITE ABOUT THE SEEDS PROGRAM

Governor's news release 07-133
Printer Friendly Copy
( Juneau, Alaska) ─ Governor Sarah Palin today ordered senior assistance benefits to continue for
Alaska's neediest seniors. Using an emergency regulation, Governor Palin will authorize cash payments to continue for at least a month after the SeniorCare Program sunsets on June 30, 2007.
Governor Palin had included funding for the Longevity Bonus Program and the SeniorCare Program, in the FY 08 operating budget, however that funding was removed by the Legislature.
"Despite a valiant effort on the part of the Department of Health and Social Services and my staff to keep this program going for the most vulnerable segment of the population, SeniorCare was not reauthorized by the Legislature," said Governor Palin. "Our seniors cannot go hungry. We cannot wait for a special session this fall – it will be too late to address this emergency situation. Cutting off our seniors with five weeks' notice is not acceptable. Financial assistance for our seniors has been a priority of mine since before taking office. We need to reach our seniors during this time of need."
The short-term extension will give the state the time needed to develop a plan that will provide assistance for our low–income seniors. Governor Sarah Palin and Department of Health and Social Services Commissioner Karleen Jackson will ask the Lieutenant Governor to sign an emergency regulation which will continue the cash benefits at least through the month of July.
The SeniorCare program serves approximately 7,000 Alaska seniors. As of March, 2007, 6,632 seniors were receiving SeniorCare benefits. Seniors are encouraged to call the Senior Information hotline at 1-800-478-6065 (statewide) or 269-3680 (Anchorage). The hotline staff can provide seniors with referrals to other state programs, senior centers and other community resources.

It's a strange world
Posted by Priyanka Nag on 4:26 AM
I was in London for the 41st World Skills Competition 2011, last week. It was like a living a dream, all the lights of the world was in my arms.
We were given a grand welcome in O2, one of the world's biggest auditoriums. The very thought of sharing roof with thousands of talented candidates from more than 45 nations from around the world mesmerised me. What a small small world! In present days of globalization,working together on the same project with so many different people from so many different religions, so many different beliefs; its not that big a deal. Sharing lunch together, drinking and dancing together, laughing our days out together, it all feels so wonderful. There seems to be no bar of differentiation between human beings anymore on the basis of race, religion, nation and all unimportant things.
The belief and the feeling were good, until I was introduced with 'REALITY'. We were sitting in the bus, quite late at night, celebrating our end of competition days. A lady walks in with 2 little, cute children and occupies the sit next to mine. The little child in the arms gives me a smile from behind the mummy's elbows. Without giving a second thought, I rush to play with the child, to place a kiss on his cheek, to rub my hands on his cheek……when I hear a warning from behind me. My friend, who had occupied the seat behind me, beckons and says-"pagal hai kya? Haat mat lagana. Tereko pitenge sab log milke. Ye log humpe trust nahi karte hai pagal. Kuch mat kar. Dekh bhi mat. Kuch bhi ho gaya, to blame humpe ayega."
The call of reality brought me back to ground. I felt tears in my eyes. Which is the true face of this hypocrite world, the one I had seen throughout the competition or the one I am introduced to today?

text: Bloemfontein - Since Gary Kirsten took over as South African coach in June 2011 the country's Test team has risen relentlessly to the top of the International Cricket Council rankings. The performances of the one-day side, though, have been patchy at best. A five-match series against Pakistan, starting at Chevrolet Park here on Sunday, marks a change of focus for the Proteas, who have slipped to fourth place in the rankings for the 50-over format. Pakistan are sixth on a tightly-bunched table. Kirsten said South Africa could play as many as 20 one-day internationals before their next Test series, against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in October and November. "It's nice to have an extended period of one-day internationals," he said. "This is an important period for the ODI team." Of immediate concern for South Africa is the ICC Champions Trophy in England in June, the team's next major engagement after the Pakistan series. The country's consistent failure to win big tournaments is one of the issues that Kirsten has pledged to address. Although South Africa have a less than stellar one-day record of 10 wins and eight losses under Kirsten, the coach is not over-concerned because the international schedule has dictated an emphasis on five-day cricket. "We have had a lot of Test cricket," he said. Nor was he concerned about a lop-sided 95-run defeat in a Twenty20 international at Centurion last Sunday, which he dismissed as a "one-off" game, irrelevant to the one-day challenge. South Africa were beaten 2-1 at home by New Zealand in their most recent one-day series after winning both Tests against the Black Caps by an innings. Pakistan shape up as a bigger threat with players such as Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi and the Akmal brothers, Kamran and Umar - all of whom missed their side's recent 3-0 Test series defeat - adding experience and skill to the squad. The Pakistanis seem to have most of their bases covered, with a mix of quick-scoring batsmen and a well-balanced bowling attack, while the fielding in the Twenty20 match was of a high standard. South Africa, though, are likely to be a more organised team than that which lost to New Zealand - and a great deal stronger than the T20 side - with stars such as Hashim Amla, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Test captain Graeme Smith returning to the squad. Steyn will be rested for the first match, though, and Morkel is doubtful because of a hamstring injury. Leading all-rounder Jacques Kallis will not be in action as he is being rested as part of a programme to extend the career of the 37-year-old. Squads: South Africa: AB de Villiers (captain/wicketkeeper), Kyle Abbott, Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Rory Kleinveldt, Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Robin Peterson, Aaron Phangiso, Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe Pakistan: Misbah-ul-Haq (captain), Mohammad Hafeez, Nasir Jamshed, Asad Shafiq, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal (wicketkeeper), Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Irfan, Junaid Khan, Wahab Riaz, Umar Gul, Imran Farhat, Abdur Rehman Fixtures: March: 10: First one-day international, Bloemfontein (day) 15: Second one-day international, Centurion (day-night) 17: Third one-day international, Johannesburg (day) 21: Fourth one-day international, Durban (day) 24: Fifth one-day international, Benoni (day)

Most actors don't get to chose which cars they drive in movies. That's usually up to the writer, director, or car caster. Yet somehow there are those actors who always end up in cars that manage to reflect a certain sensibility. Automotive typecasting if you will. Which actor ends up in the cars that most represent your tastes?
This question is inspired by the forumites over at VW Vortex's The Car Lounge who noticed that Joseph Gorden-Levitt has driven the trifecta of TCL-approved vehicles: E30 (500 Days of Summer), NA Miata (Looper), and an XJ (50/50).
Those cars, not surprisingly, also appeal to us. It turns out Levitt hates cars for some close-minded Hollywood reason, but his characters definitely fit us. Who is your automotive Doppelgänger?

Last night, Ann and I helped out a family a little. They'd just moved from Seattle on a Greyhound bus. They had the name and number of someone who was supposed to meet them and take them to an apartment. He never showed; when they called, the number was disconnected. They walked to the rescue mission. The rescue mission doesn't accept women or children. The only shelter in the city that does was full. They walked to a police station. The police told them they couldn't have a motel voucher since it wasn't cold enough, and it wasn't snowing. They came up to us outside our apartment. We gave them a lift to the grocery store and helped them get some food and some money for a room. When we dropped them off, I gave them my phone number.
"The first three digits are 666," I said, "Number of the beast."
"That's bad luck."
"Yeah, it is."
On the way back home, we got a little turned around. They've been building up new apartments all around where we live. They just finished a complex a block away, and it still hasn't quite sunk into the city. It still looks strange and alien and not all there, like maybe it's a backdrop for a movie someone's filming, and when they're finished they'll kick out the two-by-fours and carry the fake brick sheets off to a back lot somewhere. It's draped with a huge NOW LEASING sign, though, and the windows are open so you can see inside. All the lights in the building are on full, showing off six stories of bright, clean apartments. Empty, to a one.

Sustr Focuses on Big Picture After Reassignment to Syracuse
Despite being sent to Syracuse for more ice time, Andrej Sustr hasn't seen much game action.
The 6-8 defenseman, hurt on his second shift since being reassigned by the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier this month, practiced with the Crunch Tuesday. After missing five games, he is nearing a return to the lineup.
"It's been pretty good," Sustr said of working his way back into game shape Tuesday. "I'm aiming for this weekend."
With Syracuse on a five-game losing streak, the addition of Sustr is a major shot in the arm to a struggling Crunch defense that has surrendered 23 goals in the past five games.
"His puck moving ability, his skating ability -- he will help us," said Syracuse coach Rob Zettler.
Sustr got his first taste of the National Hockey League last season, when the highly sought-after free agent signed with the Lightning out of the University of Nebraska-Omaha. He was a plus-one over two games before being assigned to the Crunch for its Calder Cup run.
The Czech Republic native played in eight regular season games and all 18 postseason contests for the Crunch, tallying 10 points for the Eastern Conference champions.
That postseason experience, as well as his offseason work, helped the 23-year-old make the cut in Tampa during training camp last fall. The rookie was in and out of the lineup, but registered seven assists and was a plus-four over 38 games.
"It was a little bit of a surprise for me, but I was really happy," Sustr said of making the Lightning. "I worked really hard in the summer for it and it definitely paid off for me."
Without consistent ice time and the Tampa Bay blueline getting healthy, Sustr wasn't surprised that he was being sent to Syracuse to see more ice time.
"I saw it coming in a way," Sustr said. "You can't really think about stuff like that. (Keith) Aulie was getting healthy, and I saw we had nine guys up there."
Sustr sees the big picture, and knows he will play his way into a full-time role in the NHL sooner rather than later.
"I think it's the best decision for me, as far as my development goes," Sustr said. "I'm definitely not taking it as a demotion. I'm taking it as an opportunity for me to grow."

Short review: This is a pornstar site, so with that in mind you'll walk into it with certain expectations, which is what I did, but my assumptions were not only reinforced, but they were exceeded greatly. Such a soft allure radiates from each and every woman inhabiting this site and they've done a fantastic job of not only catching her physical attributes but their personalities as well on film.
Content Amount: The count seems to just fall under the category of mediocre in the amount of sets held by this site .at this time. But the regular updates is sure to keep those numbers climbing quickly, giving you more to admire. Extra perks will spruce up worthiness.

I have tried a ton of jackets in my brief career of riding, always have to either lose style and gain protection or lose protection and gain style- or worse look like a sportbike rider when you are riding a vintage classic etc- then i realized there was another choice- SCHOTT- I love the fact that these jackets are made in USA we need more of this and I agree completely- YOU CAN TELL the quality over imports- it shows that SCHOTT is designing these for safety and function- the jacket was hard to break in but all the while being well constructed, and gaining character as I did so- I only bought it 2 months ago and it is fitting better every day- when i ride it feels RIGHT! this is better than any other- and the service in sizing from Gail is something you dont find anyplace! sure the price is high buit it is a situation where you get what you pay for and it will last a long time from what i read and can tell- I ordered the pants after long hard thought and imagine they will also be worth my using my savings in this horrible economy but safety allows me to ride longer and more so GO FOR IT- i love the patriotic side too of the Easy Rider as it has the red,whire and blue and I am all for supporting that!
I recently bought a knock-off of this jacket on ebay. I think the seller may have taken a picture of the Schott jacket for the auction. When I got the knock-off it did not match the picture. I was so mad, I decided to order the real thing from Schott. Wow! What a difference! The Schott Easy Rider Jacket is the greatest! I have been dreaming about this jacket since I was six years old. I had a plastic one when I was twelve and taped stripes and an American flag on it. Now I have a real one and it fits like a glove. The jacket is heavier than expected, very well made, the detail is amazing. Thank you so much for helping me realize a boyhood dream! I am so pleased that I will order the Perfecto One Star Jacket soon.
I bought the Easy Rider online after looking for quite a while at different jackets. I had a few questions about payment and sizes, Gail helped me out and followed up consistently.
I assumed that shipping would take forever as I am in Canada, my jacket was shipped to my door in 1 business day!! OUTSTANDING!!
The quality of this garment is second to none. Thank you Gail and thank you Schottnyc!!
I found my Easy Rider in the back of a motorcycle shop that was going out of business... I tried it on and it fit like a glove. This jacket is what I wear to ride, I wear it to hang out with my buddies and when I drop the kids off at school. This jacket means business in ever sense of the word. I was riding home the other night in a light rain that turned into sleet and hail. The little dime sized hail bounced off my hand as it made a fist wrapped around the throttle and I couldn't help but shoot a little smile at the sky... I was warm, my body was dry and I didn't feel a thing.
To say that this is the nicest jacket that I have ever owned is an understatement... It is a tool as much as a fashion statement. I hate to take it off... I would wear it to bed if my girl wasn't snuggled up in it already.
I was not expecting the coat to be so heavy duty, awesome surpise! It is easily the best jacket I've ever owned. It wasn't cheap but it was well worth the money paid.
Having received excellent advice from Jerri on the best size I ordered my Easy Rider 671 Jacket on Monday evening UK time and received my order before noon today Thursday, can't beat that for service!
The Jacket is everything I hoped for and one I have wanted since as a teenager I first saw Peter Fonda wear it when Easy Rider came out. In reviews I read the high price was mentioned but I believe you get what you pay for and I have no doubt this jacket will give me many years of pleasure to wear whether its riding my HOG or in the pub. Thank you Jerri and thank you Schott now all I need are the leather pants so watch this space!

I recently purchased the Easy Rider Jacket and can easily say it is the finest Motorcycle Jacket I have ever purchased. I recently rode my bike on a chilly evening and couldn't believe the performance of the jacket. The sleeves are longer than ass clown jackets made for fashion not function, and the waist doesn't ride up your back if your bike is equipped with 18 inch ape-hangers like mine is. I may buy another jacket just so I can put this one in a closet since it will definately be a collectors item.
Be careful with this jacket since it is not recommended for bashful people. People have stopped and asked "where did you get that jacket" upon numerous occasions in a convenience store or even at my favorite watering hole.
Finally, the jacket sells itself given the fact that it is Union Made in the USA. I verified this with some friends of mine in Elizabeth, NJ. NO, I didn't get paid by the company to write this and they even shipped a heavy duty hanger with the jacket so it wont get dorked up while hanging. If you are serious about a jacket...this is a serious jacket!
Hi Guys, I just wanted to let you know I think your Easy Rider Jackets are the hippest, coolest, highest quality, best looking jackets around. I have both now. The leather one is so much better than the Kerr Leathers version. Better leather, better made, higher quality. I sold my Kerr jacket for more money than what I paid for it. I thought it was cheaply made and an eyesore.
I have been a big fan of Peter Fonda and that movie Easy Rider for years. I built 2 of my own Captain Americas a few years ago that are actually better bikes and much higher quality than the one seen in that movie. Thank you guys very much for such high quality jackets to match.
I am seriously considering a pair of your leather pants as well. All the pants I looked at were cheap! Cheap looking! And about as crummy as the people who made them. Even the Harley Davidson leather pants are not what i am looking for. Cheap and way too thin. I understand they are supposed to be the best ones out there. I really like the fit and the look of the seams of the classic fitted leather pants at leatherup.com. But the leather itself of the pants is cheap looking and wont hold up long.
Damn, I am glad I found your products and website. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH YOUR MERCHANDISE! YOU ARE NOT CHEAP IN YOUR PRICES BUT WELL WORTH THE MONEY.
Excellent jacket, nice fire and good cafe racer look. It would have been even better if the leather was a softer grade. I love the fact it is made in the USA. I will pass it down to one of my three sons when I go. Maybe my grandson if I ever have one.
I love my new jacket! Customer service is top notch and the quality is excellent. I feel like the hoodlum king whenever I put this jacket on!
This is the real thing guys. Looks like the light weight jacket Peter Fonda has on in the movie but when you see it in person you will quickly realize this is a real motorcycle jacket. Is a little pricey but well worth it!
...how many Schott jackets "are to many"...? Exactly !
Best of the best,nothing else can be said.
Awesome jacket, awesome service, and great experience. This is the second piece I have bought, a pair of leather pants, and I am amazed at the quality of this gear. Big Thumbs Up!
Outstanding jacket - high quality material and workmanship! Wonderful top notch customer service.
Just got my Easy Rider today in Australia. Fantastic jacket.
The sizing runs true, which was my biggest worry, as I am no fashion waif and a chunky size 48. Its fits beautifully. The footballs etc allow plenty of arm movement, which is great for the bike. Te liner is soft and warm, the leather is fantastic.
I bloody love this jacket..........
Great product, and will be buying my second jacket as soon as I can decide which one.......great, prompt customer service from Jerri re sizing and info, thanks guys.....
i am very happy wihth merchandise!a very nice jacket and excellent quality.waou waou i placed my order on a monday night and had the jacket on thurshay,i a m brussels(belgium)!the leather its the great quality!!its my second jacket leather us740n peajacket by schott the first its from europe!!!!thank you schottnyc!!by pascal belgium
A very nice jacket and excellent quality. Product arrived only a couple of days (in Norway) after I ordered it. When deciding for this jacket Gail was very helpful in determining the correct size. A very good shopping experience.
I placed my order on a Tuesday night and had the jacket on Thursday, I'm in Toronto. Great service, great product. I have 5 leather jackets and this is my prized 6th. Thanks
The jacket quality is superior. It was specially designed for riding and that is an accomplish goal: it fits perfect (thank Gail!) and it is very comfortable to wear.
The service was perfect: I made the order thought the web and Monday, and received the jacket, in Spain, on Thursday
I was only disappointed to see that the jacket has no inside pocket (besides a small pocket to be found in the liner that in Spain, will be not be using anyway)
Hi everyone, I purchased a B3 and the Easyrider with Gails assistance. I have been wearing the B3 in the cold weather (around zero with the wind lately) and I can tell you that I have never had a warmer jacket! I didnt feel cold (except my head and legs) at all! I highly recommend the B3 to all if you are looking for a quality WARM jacket.
The easyrider is great as well! Love it! These are the nicest jackets I have ever owned.

You are no longer the flower

Or the gardener
A muse
Your amusement

...which was the song I heard while sitting at 3 a.m. at my desk thinking of what to sew with this stupid fabric I got meters of from someone in Romania. A while ago. A long while ago. I've already sewed a flared midi-skirt with matching hair-bow out of it. But I still got so much left...
Well, and here's the idea. Or at least, how it should look like when it's done. A cute maxi-dress for summer. The fabric is very light, it's more polyester than cotton, but still... The back of the dress should be longer than the front. Maybe the difference won't be this visible. Oh and I still don't know whether I should do this as a one-piece-dress or first cut the top and then a full-circular skirt-piece. I want the skirt to be wide, but not necessarily circular. Mh... we'll see. First I gotta write the first exams. The first one is up this Saturday. I'm already freakin' out about it, that's why I haven't updated anything here. But well... this weekend I'm driving home, I'll go out, I'll go shopping, and everything will be alright. I'm sure. However, here are the ugly sketches.

The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) came into effect on July 27, 2006, and under the civil SORNA statute at 42 U.S.C. § 16913(d), Congress delegated to the attorney general the decision on whether pre-SORNA convictions will be counted. The attorney general has exercised his discretion in favor of full retroactivity.1 Defense attorneys are currently challenging the constitutionality of the retroactivity provision at 42 U.S.C. § 16913(d). They argue that this provision delegates legislative authority to the executive branch, in violation of the "nondelegation" doctrine of Article I, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution. This argument finds support in the dissenting opinion by Justice Scalia in Reynolds, joined by Justice Ginsburg, questioning whether § 16913(d) violates the nondelegation doctrine.2 The Supreme
