      @spitfiredealer:

      Need some advice for a new wireless router. My sky one isn't up to the task. I have a camera in the baby's room which we watch through iPads / iPhones and at the moment it is just keeps losing connection.

      @spitfiredealer the Google OnHub looks like an interesting option. It's managed through an app, and will automatically download security updates.

      The only concern would be that being Google, it'll probably slurp up every bit of data that it can. :o

        @Finn666:

        anybody into Canada Goose?

        looking for a different kinda winter jacket and thought about the brand.

        thinking about these two models:

        Chateau Parka

        Langford Parka

        any other ideas/models to think about?

        thanks a ton for your help and input in advance.

        cheers guys!

        When I had to make a decision between this 5 versions - I would take the 'Chateau Parka' in blue … on the other side are all this Jackets / Parkas not my cup of tea  😉  .. and I'm very happy with my Deck Jacket and the M65 for the feckin' winter months.

          ^ … but I live in Franconia (= moderate winter weather)

          If I would live in the Swiss Alps, I would buy them all + the IHJ-39 and the IHM-11    😉

            thanks a ton for getting back @Finkster even though it wasn't that much of help hahaha 😉 …so i tried the chateau parka in olive yesterday and XL should be just fine. still gonna wait and see if others have any opinions or even similar jackets they can name before i'll cop one...

            unfortunately both, the J39 and M11 are sold out, so i have to look for something else instead.

              @Finn666 I never liked the buttons on the Chateau and I found it to be quite slim, almost feminine. I can see how the velcro closures on the Langford would be annoying, though.

              Personally, I prefer the Branta/Black Line. I have an earlier iteration of this jacket (http://uncleotis.com/shop/designer/windemere-parka-black) and it's been excellent for the past two Montreal winters. (Not to mention, you don't have to fear being splattered with red paint by angry animal rights activists every time you're walking around the city.)

                I agree with @Shoreman - I'd get something less expeditiony.

                  Didn't see a city guide for Sacramento and wasn't sure if it was worth creating one….  Anyway, in Sacramento for a few days for the Cal International Marathon.  Anyone have any recommendations on restaurants/things to do besides so the Capitol Building?

                    I've got weird body proportions, with extremely long legs. (If you want to get technical, my upper to lower body segment ratio is around 0.85, whereas 1 is more typical.)

                    This is a bad Photoshop GIMP job on a Private White x Alexander Leathers Café Racer I tried on last year. The jacket on the left has been extended by a couple of inches, whilst the one on the right is stock, obviously.

                    I think that the jacket on the left looks a better cut for me, as it balances out my upper and lower body proportions better, whereas the one on the right is maybe a bit short.

                    Anyone got an opinion? Am I just overthinking things as usual?

                      I prefer the look of the jacket in the right hand picture @Graeme.

                          I realize this is not too helpful, but something between the two would be ideal, IMO.

                              Yeah left looks good.

                              Well, I have others.

                                  Right. There's something about the longer version making the collar look off. Can't put my finger on it though. That being said, they both look good!

                                    right @Graeme cuz I think this cut should fit just like that. the left one seems a bit off cuz of the bigger opening. doesn't look too flattering imo. so i'd say right or chose a different model.

                                      Thanks.

                                      Both the left and right image were originally the same photo. I wasn't necessarily looking at getting this style, just trying to figure out an idea of what length suits me. And the general consensus seems to be a bit longer is better, though not necessarily as a badly edited photo of a motorcycle jacket. 😉

                                      Schott offer a longer Café Racer, and I've seen similar vintage pieces.

                                          Not just you. Looks cleaner imho.
