What IS an Anti Jacket? I really don’t know. Maybe I’m missing something here, in fact I did a tiny little web research on the term and found a video of Kate from LOST (??). Anyway…. I love the new Prime M Track Anti Jacket from PUMA, It looks great in both the silver color and the black option.
The material of the Prime M Track Anti Jacket -in case you are wondering- is 100% polyester, so it’s light. Use it zipped to display the logo at full!
There’s another item to my Wishlist for this Christmas, that is very near. By the way if you know what an anti jacket is, please drop me a line.

It is now ready with its line of kidswear as well, puma store online which it launched on Wednesday.Kidswear, which has been there internationally, would complete the range for us in India. It would be a take-off on our adult range of apparel, footwear and accessories, says Puma India Managing Director Rajiv Mehta.

What do you get when you pick one of our times most acclaimed and groundbreaking artists; give him a PUMA v.1.10 Boot – and let him unleash his talent on it?

It’s that time of year again! Season 5 of So You Think You Can Dance kicks off with two hours of auditions. Was it just me or was this audition show a little less painful than usual? As many of you know (and the rest of you will learn), I don’t enjoy these early shows. I love great dancing, but if I wanted to watch it being done badly, I’d watch Dancing with the Stars. Oh snap. Kidding. Sort of. Our first two pit stops on the audition train (on the way to hot tamale town) are Brooklyn and Denver.
Oh, and it might be good to recap the judge’s process in case you’ve forgotten or you’re new. If the judges like what they see during the solo or after choreography the dancer is sent to Vegas. If they don’t like what they see, the dancer is sent home. Let’s get started.
Brooklyn — Day 1
Judges: Nigel, Mary, and Tabitha & Napoleon
First up is contemporary dancer Gabi Rojas, who was born and raised in the circus. She’s got rheumatoid arthritis, and her body is deteriorating. But you can’t tell from her wonderfully expressive performance. Her movement is beautiful. Nigel starts the night out with unusually high praise — but maybe since he hasn’t seen any bad dancing yet he’s not his usual crotchety self. He thinks Gabi will make it into the Top 20 and says she’s one of the best auditions he’s seen in the last five years. Mary gives us her patented scream and Tabitha likes her characterization. Vegas, baby. Read More »
The seventh and final preview of the tomorrow’s Sniper/Spy dual update to Team Fortress 2 is upon us, and Valve come bearing gifts.
First off, it looks like the sharp shooting Aussie is getting that jar of pee that we all thought was an April Fool’s joke over a month ago. Could be bad news for Spies and Pyros:
Jarate – The Jar-Based Karate
Jarate is a thrown jar that splashes upon impact. When splashed on enemies, they take 35% more damage for a period of time. Jumping in water will wash off Jarate. Jarate is also able to short out Spies’ cloaking devices. When used on teammates, Jarate will extinguish any fire effects.
Also revealed are 35 brand new achievements for the Sniper class. As a fellow TF2 geek pointed out, some of these seem to be inspired by the ‘Meet The Sniper‘ video.
And finally, in celebration of all the hard work towards bringing TF2 fans these free updates, Valve are making this weekend a free TF2 weekend starting tomorrow. So if you or your buddy haven’t experienced what all the fuss is about, now is the time.
