Best of Ski Jackets

Image
A ski jacket covers the arms and torso. It can be a separate item or part of a ski suit together with matching silhouettes. From the introduction of ski jackets in the middle to late 1950’s through the early 1980’s, the dominant style was for a ski jacket to resemble a safari jacket in having a similar belt and shirt -like collar. A similar garment, especially one with a hoody , may be called a parka, anorak, down jacket or winter shell. Owning a good ski jacket is a must when on the slopes. The jacket needs to keep the owner warm and protect from all weather conditions, whilst not being overly weighty. There are 3 main things to consider when buying a jacket: Warmth - Always ask will my jacket keep me warm? In bitterly cold conditions, the last thing you want to be worrying about is the fact that you can't feel your arms. Breathability - As much as being warm is good, you do not want to overheat. Make sure your jacket can breathe, so that you do not overheat and sw...

2012 Tour route - Tour de France

Image
A route for the 2012 Tour de France has appeared briefly online a week ahead of the official unveiling. The details, which have not been legitimate, would appear to favour the chances of cyclists like Britain's Bradley Wiggins, with considerably less mountain stages and two individual time trials as well as a prologue. The Amuary Sports Organisation, who organise the tour, neither confirmed nor denied whether the route which appeared online was correct. "I can't tell you anything about this. We are fixing it now internally. The only person who could comment on it would be (race director) Christian Prudhomme himself," Claude Rasch told Cyclingnews. But with brief details of each stage appearing to fit some of the rumours circulating about the route, many have taken it as genuine. Wiggins' ability on mountain stages is not thought of as highly as the likes of current champion Cadel Evans, previous winner Alberto Contador, or the Schleck brothers. His 2011 Tour ende...

The best time to visit Romania

Image
The best time to visit Romania is in the spring late March to the beginning of June and Autumn late September to early November , but one can also come during the summer months June to September , provided they get away fast from the hot areas of the south and the capital, especially. The late spring months and the summer months May to September are actually the best times to see birdcolonies in the Danube Delta. Winters are harsh but are the best times to enjoy skiing. The carpathian mountains are beyond expectations. Capital of Romania, Bucharest has a little more than two million populations. It is a very green and pleasant city, and you will circulate easily on foot or by subway, to the discovery of an architecture blending several styles, ruins of a 15th century palace, the Arc de Triomphe, Orthodox churches, mansions second Empire, Stalinist buildings like the huge palace of Parliament. Many museums are also worth visiting the Village Museum, in the open, the National Art Mus...

October 1987 all over again - 2010's coming stock market crash

Image
In two tumultuous weeks in October 1987, the stock market shed nearly one-third of its value in perhaps the second most notorious crash in U.S. history. It could happen again. Don't be deceived by the rebounding economy, any more than the bulls should have been misled by the balmy climate during the late Reagan years. Right now, stocks are extremely vulnerable to the same scenario. The reason: The market is even more overpriced than when thunder struck on that distant Black Monday. That doesn't mean that a giant correction is inevitable; far from it. But the quasi-bubble that followed the big selloff in late 2008 and early 2009 makes the probability of sudden downward swing far more likely. And today's cheap prices like for sunglasses make it practically certain that investors can, at best, expect extremely low returns in the years ahead.

India is to ban school children from wearing leather shoes

Image
Instead canvas plimsolls will replace uncomfortable and "environmentally hazardous" leather shoes . The move by the country's school boards follows a campaign by Maneka Gandhi, Indira Gandhi's widowed daughter-in-law, who is now an member of parliament for the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. She is one of India's leading animal rights campaigners and a fierce opponent of slaughtering cows, which are revered among Hindus. India's Central Board of School Education and the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination has accepted her proposal. Black leather shoes were introduced as mandatory items in Indian school uniforms during British colonial rule and have continued unchallenged ever since. Their widespread use has made school children the country's largest consumers of leather products, according to the People for Animals (PFA) campaign. Sixteen schools in Madras have already banned leather footwear in response to their campaign and proteste...
