A sense of both curiosity and spontaneity powerfully inform the whimsical creations of PARAÍSO, beautifully embedding a heart warming sense of nostalgia as 90s silhouettes are adorned with abstract prints. Established in 2012 as a collaboration between artist David Méndez Alonso and fashion designer Kirzia Robustella, both combine their multi-disciplinary talent establishing a continuation of their unique aesthetic and resulting in the conversational garments, which evoke an undeniable joyous energy.
Entitled Young Yesterday, Young Today, Young Tomorrow the latest collection perfectly expresses the playful aesthetic iconic to the fashion label and perfectly references the artistic playground in which Méndez Alonso and Robustella create, letting their imaginations continuously run wild. Only 80 units per each garment are produced, heightening further the authenticity of the brand.
Each detail of the campaign imagery is carefully considered, almost reminiscent of a pre-adolescent bedroom when subject to the scribble detailing in both garment and setting. The eccentricity of the garments radiates through the gleeful models and vibrant art direction, playing up the naivety embedded yet further informed by contemporary cut, in turn creating pieces of wearable art.

Mass Effect 3 is one of the most popular galactic war game played to save earth from alien forces. One of the factors which have contributed to its popularity has been the frequent update packs released by the developers. One such DLC pack is coming up in November released by BioWare.
A significant pack named Leviatham was released only in August. However, sources have confirmed that a much bigger DLC pack is getting ready to be shipped in November for Mass Effect 3 users. This new pack is termed as Omega.
BioWare's Michael Gamble described this new update pack as "double the size of the largest DLC we've done for Mass Effect 3". As per him the new DLC pack will cost around 15$ (approx Rs 765) and will be made available for Xbox users on November 27th. Reports suggest that the new DLC pack will feature a Blue Alien, Aria and a new female character.
Aria and her cohort will be battling out with General Petrovsky for the reins of Omega. The new DLC pack also promised a group of new enemies to make the game more interesting. However it seems that the new pack is now being released only for Xbox users. Those users on PS3 and PC have to wait for some more time before getting a hand to this DLC pack.
BioWare sources also reported that Mass Effect Trilogy Pack is also being released on November 4th. It would be made available for Xbox and PC users first and then for PS3 users later. The trilogy pack will have all three Mass Effect games available. It seems interesting days are ahead of Mass Effect 3 game lovers.

The playoff brackets are set, as the Supersonics (4-0) earned the No. 1 seed after defeating the 518 Ballers, 49-41. Beach Season ran its perfect record to 4-0 after defeating previously unbeaten Pippen Ain't Easy by 20 points to earn the No. 2 seed.
The Lee Hall Ballers are the No. 3 seed in the tournament after posting a league-high 96 points in a rout over the El Cougars.
The men's recreational division and the competitive division will face off in the playoffs. The 315 Ballers will be a threat, as they finished the regular season undefeated.
The four-team bracket in the co-recreational division is also set as Swagger will take on Seventh Floor Flow and Jim Lahey's Squad battles the DunkAroos.
The men's recreational division saw The Ice Holes defeat the Mountain Brews, 5-0, to improve to 3-0-1.
Jared Kline scored late to give Goals in All Holes a 1-1 tie against Multiple Scoregasms in the co-rec competitive division. The tie kept both teams tied in the standings as the playoffs near.
Nick Brain was the catalyst for the Stonefacers of the men's competitive division, recording a hat trick against Rule #76 en route to a 5-2 victory. Brain earned Campus Recreation co-Player of the Week honors for the offensive outburst and sportsmanship on the court. Brain took no penalties and utilized his quick wrist shot to catch the opposing goalie out of position multiple times.
Michael Steinke put up gaudy offensive numbers for The Strokers, scoring four goals in an 8-3 victory over the Rotney Racants.
In the men's recreational division, 2 Sedins No Cup registered two victories after defeating the HABS and Rick Jeanneret.
The co-rec competitive division saw two lopsided contests as the Crimson Panthers topped Jimbo's Crickets, 10-3, and The (Non-Sexual) Predators took down Team MVP, 10-0.

Bob Stewart Flow Chart
Says Who?
Producer: Bob Stewart
Host: Geoff Edwards
Celebrities: Betsy Palmer, Anne Meara, Bill Cullen, Peter Lawford
Taping Info: Early 1970s, probably in New York City based on technical credits
Made it to Air: No
Availability: It has aired on GSN and is available on the trading circuit.
Personality was a show that somehow lasted 2� years on NBC, a dull affair where three celebrities tried to guess the answer to a question based on prerecorded interviews. Says Who? dumps the interviews, brings in the contestants from the studio audience and onto the stage, and pretty much tries the same thing.
Says Who? involves four celebrities and two civilians segregated into teams by gender. In the first round, one celebrity is asked a question such as "Can you forgive a cheating husband", and before he/she answers the question, he/she locks in whether they are going to answer the question based on their beliefs, or what they believe their celebrity partner's believes. The other celebrity and the contestant tries to agree or disagree with the designated celebrity. If the contestant is correct, $100 is given to the team. If the celebrity is correct, $50 is given to the team.
In the second round, the tables are turned slightly with the question being asked about the celebrities on the other team. The first team to $300 wins the game and moves onto the bonus round.
In the bonus round, the contestant was asked to try to figure out which of her celebrity teammates said a statement read by Geoff. For one correct guess, the player received $20, $40 for two, $80 for three, $160 for four and $320 plus an additional prize (such as a trip) for five out of five. The contestants then switch teams and start all over.
That's pretty much it. And like Personality, it's a very dull game. How does Peter Lawford really know the inner workings of Bill Cullen? And how can Betsy Palmer technically be wrong if she answers herself?

The first week of April in 1936 has long been remembered for two of the deadliest tornadoes of the twentieth century: the Tupelo, Mississippi storm (often rated as an EF5) on April 5th and the Gainesville, Georgia storm (often rated as an EF4) on April 6th. These have often been labeled the fourth and fifth deadliest tornadoes in United States history. Not as well known, however, were EF4 tornadoes that occurred earlier in that week at Greensboro, North Carolina and at Cordele, Georgia. In Georgia on April 2nd, tornadoes also hit Athens, Dawson, Leesburg, Lincolnton, Sasser, Tignal, and Washington. On the 6th, in addition to Gainesville, Acworth, Lavonia, and Woodstock also suffered damage. This blog entry will not repeat the information that has been summarized well on other sites. Instead, I will use records from the Georgia Archives to examine other aspects of the tragedies at Cordele and Gainesville.
In recent years, a great deal of information about the Gainesville, Georgia tornado of April 6, 1936 has appeared online. An especially thorough site is the Digital Library of Georgia's "The 1936 Gainesville Tornado: Disaster and Recovery," http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/tornado/. The site uses materials from several sources including the Georgia Archives, the Hall County Library System, and the Georgia State University Library's Digital Collections and contains an interactive map, photographs, postcards and even clips of motion picture film. Morris Technology, owner of several Georgia newspapers, has posted images of newspaper front pages covering the Gainesville disaster, and links may be found at the tornado page of the Gainesville Times, http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/flat/tornado36/. Perry Williams compiled weather observations from the first week of April in 1936 and posted his analysis of the conditions that produced the tornadoes at this site: http://www.alabamawx.com/?p=43454. Unfortunately, there is not much about the Cordele storm currently online.
The Vanishing Georgia Collection of the Georgia Archives has only one photograph of the damage at Cordele. This was the home of J.J. Williams, Sr. on 14th Avenue.
The Gainesville tornado of April 6, 1936 was much better documented in photographs. Proximity to Atlanta allowed news photographers to get to the scene very quickly. The visit of Franklin Roosevelt to the city a few days later also increased national interest as he promised federal assistance for the cleanup and rebuilding. The following two photographs provide a sample of the photographs in the Vanishing Georgia Collection.
Governor Eugene Talmadge dispatched the National Guard to both cities immediately. The Georgia Archives has copies of the proclamations both in the Governor's Proclamations and in the official records of the Adjutant General. The language of the Cordele and Gainesville proclamations is identical except for the names of the officials requesting assistance: Superior Court Judge A. J. McDonald and City Manager J. R. Brown of Cordele, and Judge B. P. Gaillard and Sheriff I. L. Lawson of Hall County. The following is the Cordele proclamation.
Lindley W. Camp, the Adjutant General sent Col. Lewis C. Pope, 121st Infantry, to Cordele and Col. Thomas L. Alexander, 122nd Infantry, to Gainesville. The following is Alexander's letter from Camp authorizing him to go to Gainesville immediately.
Alexander and five companies of the 122nd rushed to Gainesville to help coordinate the search and rescue activities. Also, hundreds of federal CCC and WPA workers from all over the northeastern part of Georgia came to Gainesville. First to arrive, however, were a large number of policemen and firemen from the city of Atlanta.
I have been interested in how casualties from disasters were reported in the newspapers. Frequently numbers in early reports were inflated. In some areas the racial makeup of the casualties and survivors also made tracking casualties somewhat difficult. I was especially interested in what has become a standard observation for the Tupelo tornado. I found language like this on a number of websites: "This death toll is also inaccurate because African-Americans were not counted." The Tornado Project site in its discussion of Tupelo has a more detailed explanation:
Since only the names of the white injured were published in newspapers, it is not possible to follow up on the fate of the black injured. This racial aspect of tornado documentation was common until the late-1940's, and occasionally present, in some form, until the mid-1950's.
In order to test this assertion, in this blog post I have evaluated the way African American and white deaths were reported in both the Gainesville and Cordele tornadoes.
I have labeled this Georgia Weather History blog as being an occasional blog. Research and pulling together information from old records still takes time even in this electronic world. I am presenting this draft now because many folks will be looking for information about the Cordele and Gainesville tornadoes during the first week of April. I still have many more sources to check and corrections to make. My evaluation [certainly not exhaustive at this point] of the press coverage of the Georgia tornadoes shows that the number of African American deaths was reported with reasonable accuracy. In Cordele, the names of African Americans were not published; but in Gainesville, the names did appear on all of the published lists. Initial reports often exaggerated the number of casualties. For example, the Associated Press on April 2, 1936 quoted the City Manager of Cordele as saying that "at least thirty-three were killed in Cordele, eight white persons and twenty-five Negroes." The article went on to list names of five of the whites and none of the African Americans. By the next day, the AP reported the Cordele total as eighteen. The final total was twenty-one.
A source that allows us to check the casualty counts in the newspapers is now open for research. In 1919, Georgia began a system of uniform registration of deaths. By law, the certificates are closed for seventy-five years. The 1936 certificates only recently became available for public use at the Georgia Archives. I compiled a spreadsheet for the Cordele tornado deaths and one for the Gainesville deaths. I then matched up the names on the death certificates with the names in various available newspaper accounts. To ensure that I found all of the deaths, I looked at all of the April death certificates for all of the surrounding counties. The Cordele deaths were all recorded in Crisp County. Some of the Gainesville deaths were recorded in Fulton County because victims had been transported to Grady Hospital, and two deaths occurred in the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium in Alto in Habersham County where a number of injured were taken. The following is an example of a death certificate from Hall County.
The following is a spreadsheet showing the 21 dead from the tornado in Cordele. Please scroll across to see the entire entry for each storm victim. Spelling has been transcribed exactly the way it appears on the death certificates. At the far right is a column checking off the names that appeared in the newspapers.
The final death toll was 21 of whom nine were white and twelve victims were African American.
The spreadsheet below includes all of those who died in the 1936 Gainesville tornado or later from injuries received in the tornado and had a death certificate filed with the state of Georgia. If you scroll to the far right, you will find a column showing if the person was listed in newspaper accounts.
I am still working on these spreadsheets and have not yet consolidated all of the lists published in the Atlanta and Gainesville newspapers or found all of the published obituaries. The "final " death toll appeared in the papers on 4/16/1936, but the last death certificate for a storm victim listed April 23rd as the date of death. There is a discrepancy between the number of death certificates (136) and the numbers of dead reported by the Red Cross to the newspapers. It appears that the difference largely comes from the reports of the building collapse and the subsequent inferno at the Cooper Manufacturing Company or the pants factory as it was known. The Gainesville Eagle reported on 4/16/1936 in a caption under a photograph of the ruined building that over 100 lost their lives in the building. Not all of the death certificates stated where the body had been found, but over thirty certificates were for pants factory employees (almost all white women).
There are clues in the newspaper reports about why totals varied so much. Early newspaper reports around the country on the afternoon of April 6th were that at least 48 had died at Gainesville. The next afternoon, the Atlanta Journal listed 183 known dead including 119 identified whites, 17 Negroes, and 47 bodies burned beyond recognition. The paper also had a report that a Cooper official stated that 125 had been trapped and 60 to 65 were still in the collapsed building. On the 8th, the Atlanta Journal fixed the total at 188 known dead including 154 identified and 34 unidentified with about 25 still missing. The paper said that 48 bodies had been recovered from Cooper Manufacturing Company. The same day, the Gainesville News had an official total of 184 but noted that Red Cross officials admitted the list "is not absolutely accurate." The so-called "final official" total from the Red Cross that appeared in the Gainesville Eagle on April 16, 1936 was killed 149, missing, 17, and "reported dead but no death certificate" 29. The racial makeup was white 127, and "colored" 23. The list of victims by name had 152 names, two "charred bodies," and one unidentified "colored" baby found in a cistern.
The generally accepted death toll for the 1936 Gainesville tornado appears to me only a best guess. Who were these people reported dead with no death certificate? The Atlanta Journal on April 7th probably had the best explanation for the variation in counts when it described the Cooper factory's collapse:
In my brief search, I have not located any lists of the missing and presumed dead. I am sure the lists have been retained somewhere in the area. Comparing all of the available lists will allow us now to add some precision to what was obviously a difficult task in 1936.
In recent years, stories in the media and bloggers have cast doubt on the generally accepted total of 203 dead. It appears to me that the death toll was very unlikely to have been larger than 203 because that number seems to include dozens of unnamed individuals. Yet the following recently appeared on a weather blog:
203 bodies were found–however at the Cooper Pants Factory, as the tornado approached, a gas line exploded and the building was incinerated with the workers inside. In the howling winds of the tornado, the incineration was so extreme that 40 people were missing and never found. So the death toll in Gainesville GA was at least 243.
The notion I mentioned at the beginning of this post that African Americans were not included in death counts has also shown up in accounts of the Gainesville tornado. I have included an example from an Atlanta television station's story:
More than 200 of them were killed in Gainesville. But, historians say the final death toll could not be calculated. On top of that, African-American victims were not included in fatality and injury statistics at that time.
My spreadsheets and the newspaper accounts all show that African Americans were counted. In Cordele, they were the largest number killed. In Gainesville where the percentage of African Americans was smaller, African Americans were still counted and named in the official counts.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'General Off-Topic Chat' started by EpicFace, Oct 30, 2011.
Hmm......wil you get them right?
If you do.......CONGRATS!
The first one is a paradox and doesn't have an answer. How is the third one tricky? It seems pretty straightforward.
Got them all right.First one does have an answer btw.
i got them all right, how lame not even tricky
It doesn't. By picking at random, there's a 50% chance you'll pick 25%, and a 25% chance you'll pick 50%. So if the correct answer was 50%, you'd have a 25% chance of picking that answer, but then the correct answer would be 25%, and there's a 50% chance of getting that one, but then the correct answer would be 50%... and so on. Recursion.
Of course, that's assuming you're picking an answer from the four given, and not the entire range of possible answers (the question doesn't specify).
For people answering the second question:
Warning: Spoilers inside!
Think about it. How many times can you take 5 from 25?
My answers:
Warning: Spoilers inside!
1) there are two of the same answer (25%) meaning that there's a possibility of getting 2/4 or 50%.
2) I don't know how this is tricky, but 25/5 = 5 so...
3) I don't get this at all, so I just went with my the logical answer for me (1st choice)
What exactly is the correct answer for the last one?
Well played Veho,
Well played indeed.
Problem 2:
Warning: Spoilers inside!
You're thinking about it wrong. Look at it as individual problems.
25 - 5 = 20
Now you have 20. You are no longer taking 5 from 25. With that, the answer would be 1.
Warning: Spoilers inside!
1) Paradoxical since there is a 50% chance of picking one of the 25%, meaning 50% would be the correct answer, However, you would then switch your answer to 25%, so the answer would be 50% again, and it continues on from there.
2) That doesn't really make sense because you don't say to what end. You could mean until you have less than 25, until you reach 0, etc.
3) I'm not risking my life for money
you can only take 5 from 25 once .....after that you would be subtracting from 20 , then 15 , then 10 , then 5
#3 is purely opinion, thus not tricky.
Shoulda had more, real, questions.
If you like brain teasers , you should look here http://www.oocities.org/heartland/park/6934/MTQuestions.html , its questions and answers from a game called mind trap , it was really cool when I was in high school
I won, give me my million dollars
Alright, answer time.
Warning: Spoilers inside!
1) 25%, since that is two out of 4 of the possibilities. Then again, maybe... no, no, if I think too much into this it won't end well.
2) 1, since you can only take 5 from 25 once. Next time it will be 5 from 20, then 5 from 15, etc.
3) It seems that you would have a 4/5 chance of winning, so... alright then.
Probabilities (or math in general) have never been my strong suit, so I'm probably way off.
Only tricky one seems to be the first since both 50% and 25% are valid answers...
Anyway, I answered 50%, 1, yes! Give me the money!
Well as already said 1 got no real answer it really depends on your point of view on which is better .
Anyway here is my answers:
Warning: Spoilers inside!
3.Yes! Give me the money
For 3 nothing specify that you should take 2 random guns or shot blindly without checking if its loaded or no so it would be pretty stupid to waste a million dollar
My answers:
Warning: Spoilers inside!
1. 50% (I also thought that 2 out of 4 are correct, hence 50%)
2. 5 (I never thought about "if you subtract 5 from 25 it isn't 25, but 20")
3. Not worth the risk for me XD
My Answers
1. 60% (there are 3 different answers, not 4 and not 2. Process of elimination, bro.)
2. 1 (if you subtract 5 from 25, you get 20. If you go farther, you're subtracting from 20, not 25.)

Visual novels, a somewhat niche genre that's like the game equivalent of a choose-your-own-adventure book, are a bit like buses. You wait for ages for a good one, and then several come along at once. Over the space of a few weeks, we've had/will have online-RPG-missing-brother hunt Period Cube, hardboiled detective drama The Silver Case and of course, the samurai-centric old-timey Japanese saga Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds. Marking the umpteenth iteration of the original Hakuoki game, Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is a romantic visual novel which centres around the antics of the Shinsengumi, a group of samurais loyal to the ruling Shogunate family. Kyoto Winds adds a whole host of extra characters, scenes and story segments, including six new romancable bachelors to get to know, making it feel more of a Hakuoki 1.5 than anything. It's not quite the sequel we're all pining for, but a worthy redo at any rate.
Hakuoki centres around Chizuru Yukimura, a young woman who heads to the rough town of 1860s Kyoto in search of her missing father. Dressed as a boy to avoid undue suspicion, she soon finds herself privy to a grisly murder, committed by none other than the Shinsengumi, who are supposedly sworn samurai protectors of the peace. Imprisoned by the organisation in order to keep her silence, she soon comes to think of them as her friends as they help her search for her father, as she in turn uncovers the deepest, darkest and murkiest secrets of the Shinsengumi in the process - including what exactly she witnessed that one fateful night. What follows is a gripping tale of samurais, demons and betrayal, all set against a backdrop of political unrest in a changing world that threatens to make the Japanese tradition of the samurai obsolete.
But that's not all Chizuru will encounter during her time with the Shinsengumi - living in such close quarters with such a large number of men, its only a matter of time before she starts to fall for one of them. Which one, however, is largely up to you, as in traditional otome/romantic visual novel style, the options, answers and responses you choose in conversations will resonate with one of the game's many bachelors, and see you grow closer. During the first four or so chapters of the story, anyone is largely fair game, with character-specific events and branches woven into the overarching narrative - but once you get to chapter five, you'll be locked into a specific bachelor's story, which diverge much more drastically as the Shinsengumi starts to falter and break apart.
Past Hakuoki games had only five different options for you to romance - the dashing Shinsengumi commander, known as 'the Demon' to his men, Toshizo Hijikata; Souji Okita a somewhat sadistic and sarcastic man, who enjoys winding you up and threatening to kill you from time to time; while the quietly intelligent and stoic Hajime Saito is a bit of a slow burner, taking a while to open up to the protagonist. The remaining two, Heisuke Toudou and Sanosuke Harada are your light-hearted nice guys, with the latter being the more traditional of the two, and together they make up two out of three of the 'idiot trio', the clowns of the group. There's also a sixth 'hidden' route featuring 'king of the demons' creepster Chikage Kazama, who repeatedly tries to kidnap you and make you his bride throughout the game, repelled by the lovely guys at the Shinsengumi each time (unless you pick a very specific set of options).
However, as Kyoto Winds is a kind of Hakuoki 1.5, the game that really pulls out all the stops when it comes to extras, giving you six new romance options to play through, three of which are existing Shinsengumi members, and three which are brand-new faces. There's the third member of the comedy trio, beefcake and general lad Shinpachi Nagakura, noticeable by his absence from previous iterations of Hakuoki, as well as the somewhat dark and studious Keisuke Sanan, and the Shinsengumi's stalwart spy, the mysterious ninja-alike, Susumu Yamazaki. New faces include Hachiro Iba, a long-time friend of the Shinsengumi men, and one that claims to know the protagonist from her childhood years'; Kazuo Souma, an eager-to-please Shinsengumi fanboy; and Ryouma Sakamoto, an 1860s Japan equivalent of Del-Boy, flogging weapons, intel and equipment to anyone who'll take them, regardless of their political leanings.
While it's nice that they've added so much new stuff, it has to be said that the new routes do feel a bit stripped down in comparison to the original guys - Hijikata, Okita, Saito, Heisuke and Harada all have four or five chapters to themselves after the split, but the new guys only have just over one chapter each. Also, particularly in the case of the already-existing Shinsengumi guys, Nagakura, Sanan and Yamazaki, not only are most of their specific scenes almost shoe-horned into the existing storyline up until chapter four, but their final chapters all follow a somewhat similar structure too, sharing some of the same scenes. Of course, to some degree it can't be helped, as they're all key Shinsengumi members and all have their own roles to play in the overall story, but it does feel like the developers could have added a bit more new stuff for these fan-favourite characters.
That being said, the new guys certainly deliver on the new content, even if they are also tied to the same just-over-a-chapter constraints. Souma is an all around nice guy, if a little TOO into the whole samurai thing, and his route does give you a nice insight into the history of the Shinsengumi, whilst Souma himself sits more towards the light-hearted Harada/Heisuke/Nagakura end of the spectrum, personality-wise. Iba is a bit of a mystery to the protagonist, at least to begin with, allegedly knowing both the Shinsengumi guys and childhood Chizuru, not that she can remember him. A perfect gentleman and body guard for the ruling Shogunate family, his route deals more with the protagonist's father and the morally ambiguous experiments he was conducting. Cheeky chappy Sakamoto meanwhile is a bit of a headstrong charmer with a devil-may-care attitude; an arms dealer who sells to anyone willing to buy, getting him in trouble with many a faction, including the Shinsengumi, for those who want to live a little dangerously by fraternising with the enemy. All three routes give some interesting extra depth to various aspects of the existing story, as well as giving you some new faces from outside the original Shinsengumi group to get to know.
While it's not quite the brand new Hakuoki game we really want, Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds certainly does an admirable job of tarting up and expanding on the existing story of the Shinsengumi, with enough new content to make this a worthwhile investment for existing fans, whilst simultaneously becoming the definitive edition for any newcomers. While none of the six new routes are as extensive as the original romance options - and in the case of fan favourite Shinsengumi members Nagakura, Yamazaki and Sanan, somewhat disappointingly so - the sheer amount of new content is such that it's hard to complain too much. As a well-written story of samurais, demons and betrayal, with plenty of twists and turns along the way, the extra content is simply the icing on the cake, making this the definitive Hakuoki story, still one of the best otome visual novels to date.

Animals with an internal skeleton made of bone are called vertebrates. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, primates, rodents and marsupials.
Although vertebrates represent only a very small percentage of all animals, their size and mobility often allow them to dominate their environment.
Click on the picture or name of the animals below for more information.
We are vertebrates and have a skeleton to keep us upright and to help us to move.
The female lays the eggs and the young hatch from these. The young are cared for by the adult birds until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
venture on to land. They emerged from the oceans over 300 million years ago. Frogs, toads and salamanders are amphibians.
Of the million or more animal species in the world, more than 98% are invertebrates. Invertebrates don't have an internal skeleton made of bone. Many invertebrates have a fluid-filled, hydrostatic skeleton, like the jelly fish or worm. Others have a hard outer shell, like insects and crustaceans. There are many types of invertebrates. The most common invertebrates include the protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks and arthropods. Arthropodsincludeinsects, crustaceans and arachnids.
This is the common name for 9 000 species of invertebrate animals found in all oceans of the world.

Below are two examples of how this happens, and for different reasons. The first is due to an overly earnest activist mentality that sees oppression everywhere, whether it exists or not. The second is an example of the media looking to generate controversy and therefore revenue by creating scandals where none need exist.
Lorde's song "Royals" is "deeply racist"
At Feministing, blogger Veronica Bayetti Flores talks about how Royals, the hit from 16 year old New Zealander Lorde, is all about shitting on black people. Yes, really. Most people have interpreted the song as a critique of the culture of consumerism, hedonism and conspicuous wealth that pervades popular music, but Flores is able to find the racist angle.
While I love a good critique of wealth accumulation and inequity, this song is not one; in fact, it is deeply racist. Because we all know who she's thinking when we're talking gold teeth, Cristal and Maybachs. So why shit on black folks? Why shit on rappers? Why aren't we critiquing wealth by taking hits at golf or polo or Central Park East? Why not take to task the bankers and old-money folks who actually have a hand in perpetuating and increasing wealth inequality? I'm gonna take a guess: racism.So not just a wee bit racist, or having a possible racist interpretation... but deeply racist. That's a pretty big call, particularly when just a few sentences later Flores acknowledges she is taking a guess. Here's my perspective: if you are going to potentially smear a public figure as racist, you have to do more than just guess. Except Flores says she is doing more than guessing; she knows what Lorde is thinking about (ie. black people), as do we all apparently.
Why doesn't Lorde write about Central Park East? Because she's from New Zealand and not New York, presumably, and is writing from her own experience with consumerist pop culture. To be sure, Lorde mentions three things that are stereotypically associated with hip-hop culture and black people; gold teeth, Cristal and Maybachs. Of course she also mentions a whole list of other things, such as tigers on a leash and trashing hotel rooms, which are not associated with hip-hop. It's also drawing a long bow to equate "rappers" with "black people". Since hip-hop has gone beyond being a strictly African-American art form, and given that only a tiny proportion of black people are actually rappers with recording contracts, critiquing what rappers say does not equal "shitting on black people".
Flores talks a lot about context, as you expect someone coming from a social science perspective to do. But she never thinks about context in terms of why Lorde would write that song. Her context is purely US-centric, assuming that a teenage girl from New Zealand automatically believes the same racial stereotypes that Flores would ascribe to Americans.
Too many of today's anti-racist and feminist activists are very quick to throw accusations around of sexism or racism, without a thought to the idea of giving someone the benefit of the doubt. If you are only guessing as to why someone writes something a certain way, shouldn't you be more certain of your facts before pronouncing them "deeply racist"?
Jack Wilshere the xenophobe
England and Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere sparked some kind of furore about nationality in football at a press conference this week. The context: Adnan Januzaj is an exciting 18 year old Manchester United winger who was born in Brussels, Belgium, of Kosovar-Albanian descent. He has been in England for 2 years, and under FIFA rules could potentially represent England if he lived there for 5 years.
Here's what Wilshere was asked about Januzaj and what he said:
Oliver Kay (The Times): "Jack, there has been lots of talk over the last few days about the lad Januzaj, who is at United, in terms of playing for England in the future … with players like you, Ross Barkley and Ravel Morrison all coming through what would your view be about playing with foreign players with England, or even watching them from the bench?"
Jack Wilshere: "No, for me if you are English you are English and you play for England. The only people who should play for England are English people. If you live in England for five years it doesn't make you English. You shouldn't play ... it doesn't mean you can play for a country. If I went to Spain and lived there for five years I am not going to play for Spain."
This sparked a Twitter war with Kevin Pietersen, a South African-born cricketer who represented England. It also made the back page of most major British newspapers, with lots of writers rushing to condemn him.
Thing is, many of them are putting words into Wilshere's mouth. Being an English person - what does that mean? Wilshere didn't say anything about having to be white, or to be born in England. In a later clarification via Twitter, Wilshere said he wasn't talking about people like Pietersen, or Somali-born runner Mo Farah, or Ivorian-born English football Wilfried Zaha. There is a huge distinction between being an immigrant who moves to a new country at an early age, and a professional athlete who moves to a country specifically to play professional sport and later wants to play for that country. This is not to say that athletes in the latter category should not be allowed to represent their new country, of course; but it has greater implications for the game.
Let's take Brazil, the powerhouse of world football that produces enormous numbers of professionals who play in leagues all around the world. So many decent players, most of whom will never be quite good enough to play for the national team, but could walk into many other national sides. Thus we have seen in recent years Brazilian-born players representing Croatia, Spain, Tunisia, Japan, Germany and Portugal. These are all players who have moved to their countries specifically to play professional sport. A similar situation occurs in long-distance running, with countries like Bahrain and Qatar being represented by Kenyan-born athletes. Does that start to become ridiculous at a certain point? Some would say yes - international sporting teams are ostensibly meant to represent something about each nation and its people. Yet you could also argue that professionals in a variety of fields migrate and transfer their expertise to their new country all the time. So why should sporting professionals be any different?
Wilshere was right to later tweet to Pietersen that he was talking about football, not cricket. Traditionally the only way to play at the highest level in cricket was in national teams; therefore it is understandable that someone like Pietersen might switch to England since he was not getting the opportunities he wanted in South Africa. (He's since become England's 4th highest ever run-scorer.) But in football, despite the glory of the World Cup, players can make incredibly lucrative careers playing in club sides. International football does not have the same incentive to change nationality as international cricket.
I don't know exactly where the line should be drawn between migrants representing their new country and what might seem like opportunistic citizenship; or indeed if one should be drawn at all. But it is a legitimate discussion. It's a discussion that is not served by news outlets whipping up controversy by creating straw-men arguments.
Jack Wilshere is wrong - Mo Farah is proof we should embrace Britain's diverse society
Midfielder is misguided to say only those born in England can play for England, London 2012 hero shows just why the FA should make the most of the available talent here
Except Wilshere didn't say anything about being born in England. He talked about "being English", which could mean any number of things but doesn't have to mean being born there. And Mo Farah is a completely different case to Adnan Januzaj. Farah was born in Somalia, but his father was born in Hounslow. He moved to England at age 8 and was a British citizen well before he was a professional athlete. Januzaj is a Belgian who moved to England to play professional football, and who the English FA are trying to convince to become English so he can play for them.
But this is all secondary to the need to generate a story through controversy.

This week I want to revisit what can be a confusing topic: the fact that God is one. We can all say God is one, but do you really understand the implications? Failure to do so results in suffering for everyone. I already visited the oneness of God topic in another blog post, entitled, The Nature of God, but because of its monumental importance for mankind, I am going to address it again from a different scriptural angle. Anyone can quote a scripture saying God is ONE and still not understand how truly significant this abstract concept really is. And since it's so hard to undo religious conditioning, we're going to discuss some famous sayings of Jesus in hopes that more will come to understand this knowledge and the great blessing it brings!
Below are some esoteric sayings from Jesus as he taught his disciples from theMount of Olives.
"Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matt. 25:34-40)
I have put the last part in bold because that's the statement I want to focus on a minute. Do you realize what Jesus is saying here? Jesus is telling us that everyone is ONE. How? Because Jesus makes it clear that the Christ Nature is in us ALL! The Christ Nature is our true nature, the eternal spirit that allows this temporary form to be. It is the same spirit that allows everyone and everything to be. This is a hard spiritual principle to understand in the physical existence you are having, and as Jesus said, there are few people that learn to walk with this understanding. And for those who are stuck in a religion, it is doubly hard to see this great treasure because their minds are conditioned about their "external God," which is simply a mental construct, image, or idea.
So are we really all one? Well…yes and no. Let me explain. The individual experience you are having right now on this earth is unique to you. However, it is just an "experience." The same spirit that allows the experience you are having now is the same spirit that allows someone else to have their unique experience now. But the true self behind the experience of both of you (and the rest of individuality) is actually one and the same spirit. This is the eternal nature of everyone. The life-experience you are having now will come and go. It is just one instant in eternity, and the same spirit that is within you will also produce millions upon millions of other experiences through people yet to come. All these experiences are limited aspects of God's infinite nature. Remember, God is all that there ever was, is, and will be.
After letting all that sink in, then take the whole gambit a step further and realize that since we are all ONE, whatever you do to your neighbor you also do to YOURSELF!
And so we must ask ourselves: if we are all truly one beyond our limited egos, what would be the most important thing for us to do in this life we have been given? Wouldn't it be to allow the expression of the unique creativity of the ONE spirit through ourselves? This is the beauty of BEING: the creator that is ONE on the ultimate level of reality expresses itself through the experiential limitations of our lives. That means our greatest responsibility is to allow both ourselves and others the ability to express unique experiences. Therefore, the greatest expression then is summed up in Jesus' words from Luke 6:31:
"Do to others as you would have them do to you."
When we fail to do as Jesus commands above, we are in danger of hindering another individual's expression of life on this earth. We are also in danger of hindering God. And finally, we are also hindering ourselves.
Knowing that God is one is part of the key to eliminating suffering. Not understanding this concept is what's responsible—either directly or indirectly— for the misery encompassing our globe. This also includes thinking that God is an individual "out there" to worship. How could that cause suffering you might be asking.
For starters, here are just a few reasons:
- It can contribute to a nonchalant attitude on very important matters because these individuals believe God is going to come down and fix all the world's problems anyway. Just the other day a mainstream Christian, who is also a personal friend, told me that the Bible says "God protects his own from all the harmful things in this world." In other words, we don't have to take responsibility for other's wrongs or worry about any consequences. Since God is not an individual, the responsibility lies with us all.
- It causes people to support wars and violence. Think about how many people have died in the name of an individual God. The real numbers would floor you.
- It gets too many involved in "salvation" programs or religious events—which are really nothing more than attempts to bring others around to the party's religious point of view and their individual God. Pure ego!
- It can be a huge waste of money. Has all the tithe money given to churches or other religious institutions really helped make this a better world? Some of it has, but most of it just goes to support the same religious ideas and doctrine that commands the money be given in the first place. You can read more about why tithing is a man-made idea here.
- Precious time is wasted in heated scriptural arguments, which the Apostle Paul says is useless because the exercise is nothing more than ego vs. ego. However, I will admit that heated debates can be beneficial when the debater realizes how useless all the debating is!
- It can lead to false hope. Throughout history millions upon millions of people have waited for the second coming or the rapture event when both references in scripture are symbolic for something that happens "within." Remember that Jesus said theKingdomofGoddoes not come by observation. It is "within" you.
- It can waste a lot of time in general. I can't tell you how many programs I have been involved with to bring the "lost" in before I realized it was a waste of time and energy. And most of them didn't bring in a single soul. And for those that did join the church, or "give their life to Jesus," how many are really changed? I have seen marriages break apart because one spouse is so busy with the church. I have also seen children neglected because both parents are so wrapped up in the church thinking they are serving Jesus that their children slip through the cracks.
And the list goes on and on. Feel free to list some more in the comments section if you so desire.
It is important that we understand that the things in the list above, and others like them, are built around the ego. Jesus taught us in a way that eliminates the ego so that the spirit can function.
I want you to understand that scriptural references referring to God as an outside source are only written in such a way by the authors to give you something concrete to think about so you can eventually understand the abstract, spiritual truth underneath the literal interpretation. God could never be limited to "individual" status; what a very truly limited concept of God indeed, and yet, most religious people still think of God in this manner. We need to step out of the Dark Ages. We need to understand that God can be experienced simply because he is NOT an individual. If God were an individual, then he certainly couldn't be omnipresent or omniscient.
Next week I address a few more important scriptures which bring even more light on this subject. It will even clear up some controversy between the "law" keepers and "grace" believers, showing that both have missed the entire point by not knowing that God is not a source "outside" themselves.

Donald Trump is vowing to put "America First." He delivered that pledge after being sworn in today as the nation's 45th President at the U.S. Capitol.
Former Escanaba Mayor Judi Schwalbach was one of two Upper Peninsula delegates at the Republican National Convention last summer.
She described the atmosphere in Washington in an interview this afternoon with the Radio Results Network.
"Well, you're sitting there, and the senators are walking in, and you can't put words to it," Schwalbach told RRN News. "You just can't. And I'm standing here right now and I've got tall buildings all around me, and people are just celebrating. Some are protesting, and it's just what America does every four years that makes us all so proud."
Republicans are lashing out at CNBC over Wednesday's night's GOP debate, with the party's campaign chairman saying the network "should be ashamed" of how it was handled.
In a biting statement issued after the event concluded, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said that while he was "proud of our candidates and the way they handled tonight's debate, the performance by the CNBC moderators was extremely disappointing and did a disservice to their network, our candidates, and voters."
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus attempted to sow doubt regarding Hillary Clinton's trustworthiness hours before her expected campaign launch.
"Hillary Clinton is, quite frankly, someone the American people can't trust," Priebus said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Priebus pointed to Clinton's recent admission that she used a private email account during her four-year tenure as secretary of State and the Clinton Foundation's decision to accept donations from foreign countries.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus blasted Hillary Clinton on Saturday for wiping her server and permanently deleting all emails.
"Even Nixon didn't destroy the tapes," Priebus said in a statement.Clinton's lawyer informed the House Select Committee investigating Benghazi on Friday that Clinton no longer had copies of any emails from her four-year tenure as secretary of State, ending in 2013. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the committee, said in a statement Friday that "Clinton unilaterally decided to wipe her server clean and permanently delete all emails from her personal server." Clinton has turned over roughly 55,000 pages of documents to the State Department, though Republicans have have seized her admission this month that her aides deleted more than 30,000 "personal" emails. Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, reportedly told House investigators that after aides determined which emails were private and which were government-related, an account setting was changed to only save emails sent in the past 60 days, adding the setting was changed after she responded to the records request.
"Thus, there are no [email protected] emails from Secretary Clinton's tenure as secretary of State on the server for any review, even if such review were appropriate or legally authorized," Kendall said in a letter to Gowdy's committee, according to The New York Times.


text: Hi Tony; I believe the wiper motor has an internal cam that controls power flow to the motor so the wipers will always stop in the down position. I've never had a problem with the wipers, but there was some discussion on this a year ago or so where a lister described the internal mechanism. You could try an archive search. The problem with the recirc flap is usually a broken spring mount or a spring that has come off the door. Without the spring assist, the door cannot close and you always have internal air recirc. Two of the grid lines in the rear window are the antenna - these are inactive and do not heat up. Check the fuse, the wiring connectors at the window, and the main vertical grids for breaks. Given the power consumption of this circuit, there is a relay somewhere that is activated by the switch. Ti Kan has recently posted that the relay is located in the auxiliary relay panel under the dash, bottom row, rightmost relay on most Type 44s. AFAIK, there is no adjustment for steering boost - what the pump delivers is what you get. The steering on an Audi Type 44 is heavier than the typical North American domestic car. The '89 - '91 Type 44s have lighter steering than the earlier Type 44s, but it is still heavier than NA domestics. Personally, I prefer the heavier steering - I find it gives better road feel at highway speed. HTH Fred Munro '94 S4 91k km ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony <email@example.com> To: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent: Saturday, October 23, 1999 8:58 AM Subject: '90 200q - A few nagging problems 1. My '90 200q windshield wipers are giving me fits. They want to turn off about 1/2 to 1/3 of the way up the windshield. Also, if I have them on intermittent, they stop part way up between pulses. Sometimes they correct themself after while if I leave them on. I have found out that I can get them to stop down on the bottom if I use the one-wipe function (pull down on wiper switch) and only pull it down for a split second. But then the next time I use them they are screwed up again. What governs the stopping point on these things? The real puzzler is the fact they self-correct after while, although this has only happened twice, now they seem to be messed up all the time. Anybody else had this problem? 2. Every once in a while my windows will all fog up. I know that this is caused by the re-circulation door under the dash on the passengers side sticking open. The question is, why does it stick open? Bad spring? Need lube? Bad vacuum line? I would like to know a little about how this thing operates before I go tearing into it and really screw it up. 3. My rear window defroster doesn't work. When I push the button there is a slight delay before the light comes on, but nothing happens on the back window. Is there a connection point that commonly fails on these, or could this be switch failure? Today I am going to look under the rear shelf and try to find the wires for it. Another problem that seems like it might go hand in hand with this, is my AM/FM radio reception is very poor. Car has the Audi/Bose system and I have read that one of the antennas is built into the rear window. Does it use the rear window defroster wiring for the antenna? I'm hoping that fixing one problem will cure the other. If not, how do I get to the back of this stupid radio to make sure the antenna is plugged in good into the back of the head unit? 4. The steering on this car seems quite heavy to me. Is this an indication that the pump is going out? I remember reading someplace here that there is an adjustment on these to set how heavy the steering operates. How do you adjust it and is it something I can do myself or is it better left to a mechanic? Thanks in advance, Tony Fordham firstname.lastname@example.com '90 200q '90 90

Wall Street firms, including J.P. Morgan and Salomon Smith Barney, are gearing up to recommend long single-stock vol positions on companies about to report earnings. While earnings seasons often offer opportunities for going long vol via buying straddles, calls or puts, this season should present plenty of opportunities to benefit from long vol positions given overall negative investor sentiment, said New York-based equity strategists. Worse-than-expected earnings releases from one company can send shockwaves through the entire market.
Surprises on the upside or downside are highly likely for certain companies, explained Jerry Hanweck, head of equity derivatives strategy at J.P. Morgan in New York. The big potential profit from these trades is from gamma, in other words, large moves in the underlying, rather than changes in implied vol. One promising name is pharmaceutical company Schering-Plough, which is announcing earnings on April 19. The company announced in mid-February that manufacturing process and control issues have led to reduced sales of certain products in the U.S., which it expected to influence its first quarter and full-year sales and earnings. On Friday, as DW was going to press, options maturing in August had a mid-market implied vol of around 43%, which implies a 2.75% move in the stock per trading day. Over the last month, the stock has been moving on average 3% a day, which means that by buying options on the company, you're getting vol cheap.
Wachovia is also attractive, noted Hanweck. The regional bank's asset quality is deteriorating, as the economy slows. Equally important is the fact that the U.S. Federal Reserve has been cutting interest rates. If it cuts interest rates more than expected, bank stocks rally, whereas if it cuts them less than expected, bank stocks sag. Either of these would point to high volatility in the near term. Wachovia reports earnings in the middle of this month. Options maturing in July were trading at mid-market implied vols of around 36% last Friday.
Salomon Smith Barney is now looking at which names to recommend for options plays. SSB typically recommends clients buy options about 10 days before earnings announcements. Market makers typically start bidding up vol then in anticipation of directional hedge funds taking views on stocks ahead of earnings announcements, said Ryan Gould, equity derivatives strategist in New York. Buying the options any earlier means the investor takes too big a hit on time decay, but over the 10 days preceding earnings announcements, vol for many companies rises steadily. One company for which this trade has historically been profitable is Intel. Vol for options expiring April 18 is 66%, but that number could rise as high as 80% in the 10 days preceding its earnings announcement later this month.

Have you heard of a product called Toe Juice? Conjures up some strange images doesn't it? I mean really? Surely they weren't speaking of, well, you know 'toe juice'? With such a odd name, I couldn't help but be intrigued! Of course, I had to find out what it was and what all the fuss was about!
So, what exactly is Toe Juice? Toe Juice is a natural plant-based extract enhanced with DermaVine. Regardless of the name, it is not strictly for your feet. You can use it on your feet, but it also helps dry, cracked and irritated skin all over the body by helping with the skin's natural repairing ability! It is great for for athlete's foot, warts, eczema, psoriasis and more.
I have dry skin issues that I am constantly worrying with and wanted to give it a try. I let them know and they sent me a bottle for home, and a smaller bottle, which I could carry in my purse or tote to try out.
Of course, the first thing I did was open and smell of it. It had a nice fresh exhilarating scent. Encouraged by this, I proceeded. The Toe Juice is different from creams or lotions because it has an alcohol base. With this in mind, you can apply it directly, or use a cotton ball or swab for application. For me, I turned the bottle up and slathered it onto my legs. The first sensation was that of cooling and refreshing! I continued on to the feet. Used on the feet after a long hard day, this stuff is amazing! It not only gives the tired aching feet a refreshing feeling, it helps moisturize dry cracked skin and heels!
The Toe Juice was fast drying and did not leave a sticky residue like a lot of lotions do. My skin felt silky smooth, with no stickiness at all! My legs felt, and looked, moisturized.
It also worked to calm the itch of mosquito bites. Where I live, we have some monster mosquitos and a ton of them! By applying the Toe Juice to the bites, it calmed the itch almost instantly! I have tried other itch relief products and haven't had the good results I have had using the Toe Juice.
I also had the occasion to try it on a cold sore. Anyone plagued with cold sores will tell you they are a pain to heal up! If you use something gooey, they seem to never get well. Then, if you use something to dry them up, they crack open. The Toe Juice provide both the drying ability and the moisture needed to heal it up quickly.
I am a believer! I will be keeping a bottle of Toe Juice in my home, and one in my purse, especially since I can find it at my local Walgreens store! The next time one of my friends needs to borrow some lotion, I will hand her some Toe Juice!

How to Store Coffee Beans
The right way to store coffee beans
After going through all the trouble of finding the right coffee for your coffeemaker and your personal tastes, it's important to know how to properly store your coffee beans. Good quality beans can be quite an investment! These coffee beans should be stored properly in order to maintain their freshness, quality, flavors, and aromas. Below are several useful tips that you can follow, so you can know how to store coffee beans properly.
a. Use airtight storage
First, it is important to use airtight packaging to prevent the beans from coming into contact with light, heat, air, or moisture. It is important to avoid these exposures, because they can all deteriorate the quality of the coffee beans. You can store your coffee beans inside a dark pantry or cabinet inside sealed glass, ceramic, or non-reactive metal canisters. Keeping small amounts on the counter is okay, but make sure the containers do not sit in the sun, or allow light to penetrate. Whatever you use, make sure that the packaging is airtight so you can maintain the quality of your coffee beans effectively. Though some consumers keep their whole beans in the freezer, industry experts recommend that you do not do this. Moisture will set in as the beans thaw, and that can ruin the flavor. Freezing the beans also causes many of the flavorful oils to break down, and the resulting brew is not nearly as good as it could be.
b. Store your daily coffee
You should know that you don't need to store your daily coffee inside the refrigerator or freezer. You should store your daily coffee in an airtight ceramic, glass, or non-reactive metal containers. Make sure that you place these containers in cool and dark location. Avoid placing these coffee beans around hot devices, such as the stove, range, dishwasher, toaster, or microwave oven.
c. Buy the right amount of coffee
This is another important thing that you have to consider when discussing how to store your coffee beans perfectly. It is recommended that you purchase the right amount of coffee for your needs. You should know that most coffee beans usually lose their freshness and quality quickly. There are some brands that sell whole coffee beans in small packages. You can also divide up your coffee supply into several smaller portions, and only open one of the smaller portions at a time. You can keep the unused coffee beans fresher for longer if they're kept inside an air-tight container.
d. How to store a large quantity of beans
When you have large amount of whole coffee beans, you need to divide it up to create smaller portions instead of using one large single receptacle. It is ideal to use gallon-sized plastic zip-top containers, and then place those bags inside the glass, ceramic, or non-reactive metal containers with tight-fitting lids. Unopened, airtight coffee beans can be stored for about a month. Place the containers in a dry and cool place, such as a pantry, closet, or kitchen cabinet.

The Orgeval Jacket has a subtle shine to the fabric, one that sets it apart from typical winter wear. Diamond Baffles, sweater cuffs, and metaluxe zips contribute to its sophisticated style, while the duck down insulation and DWR treatment keep you toasty and dry even during winter's coldest days. The shorter, cuter cousin to the Orgeval Coat, sure to turn heads.
