Atlas Glove WG772XL 26-Inch Long Sleeve Nitrile Coated Cotton Lined Work Gloves, X Large

Keep pond muck an arm' length away. In general, gloves are one of the most underrated pond tools. But let' examine what they do: first, they make it easier to grip tools, reducing fatigue and improving safety. Secondly, they protect your body' most important asset for water-gardening maintenance-your hands. Heat-sealed and cotton-lined for comfort, plus roughly-textured for a reliable grip in slimy conditions and icy cold water. Double-dipped nitrile coating is puncture resistant, protecting hands and arms from irritants and abrasions, while keeping muck and moisture at bay.

Jalisco, Mexico.
Guadalajara (gwa"&thstrok;alaha'ra) [key], city (1990 pop. 1,650,042), capital of Jalisco state, SW Mexico, second largest city of Mexico. The metropolitan area includes close to 3 million people. Guadalajara is a beautiful, spacious city on a plain more than 5,000 ft (1,524 m) high and surrounded by mountains. It is a modern commercial metropolis with many picturesque survivals of the Spanish colonial era. The mild, clear, dry climate has made it a popular health resort, and because of its charm it is often called “Perla del Occidente” (Pearl of the West).

Guadalajara is also an important communications and industrial center. Industry is aided by direct rail service to the United States and by a hydroelectric plant utilizing the Juanacatlan falls on the Santiago River. Food processing, the manufacture of xerographic and photographic equipment, plastics, chemicals, electronic products, and motor vehicles are among the leading industries.

Again in 1858, in the War of Reform, it was briefly occupied by the liberals under Benito Juarez.

The city's notable public buildings include the cathedral, finished in 1618 after more than 50 years of work, and the governor's palace, begun in 1643. The cathedral, which houses B. E. Murillo's The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, has been partially destroyed several times by earthquakes and represents a conglomerate of architectural styles. The governor's palace, with murals by J. C. Orozco, is an excellent example of Spanish colonial architecture. The Univ. of Guadalajara and the Instituto Cultural Cabana also contain Orozco murals. The ornate Teatro Degollado is modeled on Milan's La
