Roll it up, stash it in your pack and forget it's even there – until an unexpected thunderstorm rolls in – and then you'll be stoked you brought The North Face Venture Jacket for men. Lightweight and ultra packable, this waterproof breathable jacket keeps your pack weight low and still protects you when conditions take a turn for the worse.
Made from an environmentally-friendly material that uses less petroleum in its make-up, this North Face rain shell should be treated carefully. While it is more durable than a poncho, it's not the best for everyday wear around town or out to your backyard to chop some wood. This is an unlined shell that leaves the superfluous extra features at home to shave off ounces. That being said, a few necessary features were built in, including an adjustable hood, a soft chin guard, Velcro cuffs to seal tight, pit zips to let out heat, and hand pockets for a place to stash gloves or a snack.
Treat it nicely and The North Face Men's Venture Jacket will be a favorite jacket in any season – and if you're lucky, it'll stay in your pack where it belongs.

I finally got one...and what a bargain!
March 08, 2011
I considered getting this jacket about 10 years ago, when I saw what, I think, was the original version on sale on this very website. I deliberated and missed my opportunity, much to my dismay. Well, here I am again, and I nabbed one for about half the price of that earlier edition. This jacket has a laminate which prevents the inside from getting clammy, in lieu of the mesh lining in the previous one, which really simplifies things. I have been using a waterproof, but non-breathable, rain jacket for some time, which has suited me fine, but I've been wanting to upgrade to something more breathable and more durable. This fits the bill on both counts. While we're on the subject of fit, I think the sizing suits me better than similar jackets from, say, Marmot, which tends to run over-sized by my estimationI'm 5'9, 150 lbs. This is big enough for additional layers, but not so much that it's sloppy. The problem with the aforementioned over-sized Marmot is that, if I size down, then it runs too short. Like Goldilocks said, "This is just right." This isn't a heavy-duty Gore-Tex jacket, but I suspect it's going to be more breathable and it seems to be plenty waterproofit's seam-sealed. It feels durable enough for my needsnow, I wouldn't take it rock climbing. Mine's a nice monochrome navy blue, which will work well for both outdoor adventures and everyday use, and would not be too sporty for nicer occasions. It has the amenities of a quality piece of rain gear: a brim, which is nice for bespectacled folk like myself, and pit zips for venting. This jacket has, since, received an additional update, but the only differences I can see, are some changes in color options and the use of plant-basedinstead of petroleum-basedproducts in the waterproof-breathable membrane. There is a favorable review of the updated model in the March 2011 issue of Backpacker, which seems to indicate that it and this previous edition are comparable in performance and quality. Happy camping!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value, durable, Cons: can't find one
Unbeatable Comfort and Durability
March 29, 2011
I have used the North Face Ventura rain suit for two years and have now purchased it for each member of my landscaping crew. We love this product. It is the most comfortable rain suit I have ever owned. It keeps you dry without holding in the heat that other suits do. I have actually laundered mine several times and it is just as good now as it was 2 years ago.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Good raincoat
March 14, 2012
This jacket is well made with excellent rain protection. However, I like to have a jacket with an inner pocket, which is missing, and I like to have a more comfortable inner shell. If I wear a short sleeve shirt inside, it is not really comfortable.Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Cons: Cost, add inner pocket, improve inner shell
Great lightweight shell!
March 04, 2011
I was looking for a lightweight shell that I could take with me backpacking, which means it needs to be easily packable and lightweight. This shell fits those 2 roles perfectly. It is also perfect for layering with a base layer and / or fleece. Wearing nothing other than a lightweight synthetic top, this jacket was also able to keep me very warm and in 45 degree f weather while on a walk around town. I would highly recommend this shell to anyone looking for a shell for their layering system, or just a lightweight wind / rain jacket. Only gripe is that I wish it was compatible with zip in liners, but really thats not a deal breaker for me.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Great rain jacket!
December 12, 2013
I bought this for my husband last year after getting one for myself. We live in Portland so this jacket is absolutely perfect for everyday use. Whether it's going to work or a walk downtown, the Venture jacket shields him from the elements well, and it is sure to last.

April 14, 2011
just purchased in time for many rainy Colorado hikes. bush-whacked through branches and thorns with no signs of wear. very durable. shell is a stiff material but I'm sure it will loosen over time. i love that it retains no warmth. great for layering or warm weather. it also packs very small.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Great Rainjacket
March 11, 2011
I already owned one of these jackets, but I saw the low price advertised on Altrec's website and I picked up another one. I plan to use exclusively for camping/backpacking trips and the other for everyday use when it rains. The older version does not have the pit-zips, which is a great feature of the newer jacket I purchased. This jacket has worked well thus far at keeping the water out. I have not used it extensively in the backcountry, but I am sure it will perform admirably based on my previous use of North Face products. All in all, I am pleased with my purchase and it was at a great price!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Nice Jacket!
April 03, 2011
I would strongly recommend this jacket to all my friend or family. This is my second one. My first one wore out after about 2 years. This purchase was worth my money.
Sweet jacket
June 05, 2013
What I like most about this jacket is the color & the light weight. The slate blue is cool & the material keeps you dry but doesn't weigh you down. The hood is well designed to protect you sufficiently in a downpour & the pit slits give you breathing room to make the humidity more bearable. I also like the Velcro sleeve adjustments & the draw cords at the waist. This jacket was a good investment as the construction is top-notch.Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Ease of use
Solid Jacket
March 17, 2011
An awesome jacket by The North Face! The Men's Venture Jacket is a must have for rainy and windy environments. Perfect for walking to class on a rainy day or if you're hitting the trails and it starts to rain. Great quality and lightweight.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value, waterproof
January 09, 2013
Excellent product, except that it fits quite small, so had to return for larger size. I wear a large in almost everything, but needed XL for this coat. It works great though.
Just what I was looking for.
March 14, 2011
I have been looking for a good light weight rain jacket. Ones I have had in the past have either leaked or trapped perspiration inside. Either way, I was miserable. This one uses good materials, has sealed seams, and pit zips. Perfect. My only minor complaint is the Velcro patches over the zipper can be annoying when they catch each other, or other clothes unexpectedly.Pros: Build quality, Performance, Great value
Best in class performance
May 15, 2011
The waterproofing on this jacket is as good as the waterproofing on my fancy 30k waterproof ski jacket. It's very breathable, so I rarely have to open the pitzips even when I'm running or riding my bike - perfect for high aerobic activity during spring and summer downpours. One downside would be that the nylon material is the "tougher" kind that is not as soft to the touch as more expensive hardshells. I am a little peeved about the zipper pull tab on one of the pockets having fallen off only after its twice or third use, but this is a minor flaw that doesn't affect the overall performance of this jacket.Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: zipper puller fell off
Very good jacket
October 23, 2013
Ship soon and delivered within three days. The jacket is light and with great ability of water protection. My husband likes it very much!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use
Venture Jacket Best Protection 4 Seasons

This is the second Venture I have purchased for my dad. It is large enough he can wear it on top of his sweaters. Use it when planting or watering the garden and wear it when The place is surfer's heaven. Highly recommended. Ageless. Good for young and old people. Firm stable material, durable construction for many years and unexpected weather conditions...Easy to carry, light and fpldable.

I bought this when it was on sale and it was a great purchase. It is hurricane proof. I would definitely purchase another North Face product. I always thought they were overpriced but the quality speaks for itself.

Great North Face Raincoat
December 05, 2011
I bought this rain coat for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loves it! It's comfortable for him to wear, very light weight, and goes with everything. He can even wear it to work.
Really Solid Jacket
April 25, 2013
The Men's Venture Jacket fit the bill for what I was looking for - a lightweight rain-proof outer shell that I would wear a sweater or jacket under without being confined. So, that said, its fit runs a little large compared to a standard jacket. I'm 5'8" and 145lbs, and the Small fits pretty perfectly. It held up for about 45 minutes in a very constant light rain, and I ran through a heavy downpour for about 5 minutes. Both times, I was perfectly dry on the torso and surprised at how wet my legs were by comparison. I will say that I've had to fight with the hood a little. The adjusting elastic cord was finicky, causing the hood to loosen and become too big the first time I wore it out, which just covered by eyes and was obnoxious. I had to hold the hood in place by hand. I think I've gotten it sorted out by rearranging how it sat in its pocket, but I won't trust it completely for awhile. I do like the adjustable hood. It fits over my helmet with no problem, and aside from the first issue, it fits my non-helmet'd head fine. My girlfriend has the previous version of this jacket, and after about 5 years, the lining on the inside is coming off near the shoulders, which has affected the waterproofing somewhat, but there have been no tears due to snags or anything else. The jacket also blocks wind nicely, so even with a light layer on underneath, it feels noticeably warmer on windy days. And the pit zips help a ton when it's warmer out. It's also not audibly "swishy" if you know what I mean. It's not silent like a softshell, but not loud.Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Cons: weird hood adjustment
Love this jacket!
August 26, 2011
These jackets are definately the top of the line! They are the most comfortable wind/rain jacket that I have ever worn. I plan on purchasing an additional one as well. You will be 100% satisfied with this jacket!
December 30, 2011
I use this regulary as a rain jacket, the mesh lining inside is nice so it doesnt stick to your body. Could probably use as a shell for skiing Would make the purchase again.
Nice Jacket!

Best Purchase

Better than Expected!
August 23, 2011
This jacket is better that I expected in terms of size and functionality. I'm 6'1, 200 pounds and the large size fit me perfectly. The rain protection it offers is incredible compared to other brands I've had in the past. I've taken this jacket on a 50 mile hike through Washington's wilderness and it kept me dry despite 3 days of constant rain. It breathes better than most rain jackets and is comfortable to wear. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys hiking or lives in a rainy state and wants to stay dry.
Great Light Weight Rain Jacket
January 15, 2012
Brought this for my older and younger brothers and they love it! My younger brother runs track and it keeps him dry during his cross-country meets and during his daily jogs. I also own one and would recommend it because it's the best rain jacket by far. The quality is up to par, but that's as expected from North Face.
Nice Light Waterproof Jacket ever
February 25, 2011
I had this jacket at the perfect timing since rain comes all over the city of Seattle. 1.This product is light, but keep you dry very well. 2. There is extra a side-pocket with zip on both side.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use
Good rain proof jacket
November 27, 2012
If you're looking for a rain jacket, this one is for you! Completely water-proof and fairly wind-proof and very comfortable. I would not recommend using this during the winter (unless you layer) as it basically does not protect against the cold at all. Besides that, however, this is a great, comfortable jacket and well worth the price!Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: no cold protection
North Face Venture Jacket
September 23, 2011
I received the order promptly and used it right away. It was pouring here in the Mid_Atlantic and the jacket was superb. It kepy me fully dry; it's extremely lightweight and durable. This is my third North Face Jacket, and like the others, it is superb quality product. I will always continue to pruchase North Face.

This is an excellent jacket. The fabric is wind resistant and water tight. It fits very well and looks great. Many people have offered compliments on it. Highly recommended.
Great Jacket!
March 07, 2011
I've been looking for a lightweight rain jacket for quite some time now... The Venture Jacket by The North Face was the answer. The jacket fit true to size and I felt confident about not getting wet during this year's rain season. I especially like the draw string design of the hood and waist. A nice additional feature is the hood visor which kept the rain off my glasses! Another were the pit vents that kept me cool while running. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great quality rain jacket. A+Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Great Jacket, Great Price!
November 20, 2011
This is a great jacket. My teenage son wore in on a three day and night excursion. We felt good about it being rainproof and reliable. It arrived quickly and has been used on several other hikes in various conditions. We would recommend this product and website to others.
Little Large
January 18, 2012
Nice for rainy conditions. Runs a little big. I am 5'11, 185 lbs, fit, with broad shoulders/chest. I got a large but was very roomy in the chest/belly area. I got a medium in the summit series and it fit perfectly. Getting a medium for this one as well. This definitely seems great in the rain. Too thin for winter months though.
Worth the Wait
September 30, 2011
I was having a hard time deciding on which rain jacket I would buy this year. I wanted one that would have underarm zips and a well fitting hood that the wind couldn't blow off. I eventually got this Venture jacket from the North Face and LOVE IT. The sad thing: so did my family so I had to buy two for my sons and one for my wife! Great jacket. VERY comfortable and doesn't feel stuffy/sticky: breaths well. Hood has adjustments in front AND back for the perfect fit. Highly recommended.
I would buy it again
March 07, 2011
I purchased this jacket for rain protection on the trail; however, recently I needed a good jacket to protect me from 32° weather during a recent 5K race. This jacket exceeded my expectations. It not only protected me from the wind, but the pit vents prevented me from getting too hot during my run -- a very nice feature. If the need arose, I would buy this jacket again. Great jacket!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value
March 07, 2011
7.5 ft tall I am. Medium size was fit perfectly. It is so useful when I ride bike and hiking. It is so light and small so I just put this jacket in my back pack. It is useful for wind protection and rainy day, but it could not keep warm and it is chilly.Pros: Performance, Ease of use
Great Jacket!

Excellent product. Exactly as expected. Quality, fit, and color just the way I wanted. I've been already asked by a few friends about it at work and for me it has already been a sucessful investment. I fully recommend the product and the seller. Product shipped and arrived as advertised.

The venture jacket is exactly what my son will need for college! Not only is it great looking, but it is very practical. The fit is perfect (thanks to the helpful sales associate) and he will be able to wear it with or without a sweatshirt. Your customer service was wonderful; I did not have to wait for the information I needed. I will definitely use your website again! Thanks for making my life easier!

Good Quality, But Pricey For It's Name
June 30, 2011
It is just like any other rain jacket, except it has the "The North Face" logo on it which automatically makes it pricey. I won't lie, I bought it because it is North Face.. and so did others. It isn't worth the money because it is very thin.. but it gets the job done.. and it is "The North Face" which is always classy.
love it
April 07, 2011
I wear it all the time. Its great in mild weather but i wear it in colder weather over a fleece. Very light weight. I would recommend this rainjacket to anyone.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance
Quality rain coat.
October 20, 2012
If you are looking for a new rain coat that looks great but protects you from the rain look no further. The hood is one of the best features of this coat, it keeps all wind and rain out of your face. It fits a little short, I wish it was a bit longer in length. But water literally bounces off the material. You can dry the coat in 5 second just by shaking it. Pretty cool. I am a college student in Seattle and this is perfect for my daily commutes.Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, Performance, Cons: Cost, short

Great Waterproof Jacket
February 27, 2011
Great jacket, seems pretty waterproof for now. I took it in the shower for about 15 minutes and it kept me dry. However, this jacket is pretty chilly in the cold. I was out steelhead fishing the other day and the wind didn't actually cut through the jacket, but rather made the material of the jacket very cold. Its kind of hard to explain. I would say its a great jacket for temperatures above 40F. Anything below that would probably be better suited by softshell jacket.Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: Bad design

Great Rain Jacket
February 16, 2012
There isn't much to be said after all the other reviews but I would like to address a few things. The cost for this jacket is very normal for a jacket of this caliber. The technology used isn't something you'd find in a lower priced competitor's jacket, such as the lining matrix being imprinted within the shell. And the fitting for this seems to be just right. When purchasing a rain jacket, I usually go for a standard fit since you'll want it to fit over your other layers in colder weather. As for warmer weather, the fit will leave space for better ventilation. A win-win situation. The only somewhat negative aspect is the packing into its own pocket. The bundle gets a bit stiff but nothing a little compression won't fix. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. It's a great hard shell and versatile enough for all 4 seasons and environments. Also, at first glance the Venture and Resolve jackets look very similar and have similar technologies. In a nutshell, Venture is more for technical use and is lighter, whereas the Resolve is more for urban lifestyle, heavier, and has a removable hood. Hope this helps in your decision.

Great lightweight rain jacket
April 12, 2011
Bought the women's venture jacket for myself and loved it, so I bought the men's one for my boyfriend. He's 5'9" and ~180lbs, so I bought him a size L and it fit very well. Great quality product -- lightweight, waterproof, and a perfect layer for a rainy day.Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, Ease of use, Great value
September 23, 2012
This rain jacket packs up very small and is perfect for packing in small daypacks. The bill keeps it shape and works great in heavy rainfall. The adjustable cuffs and long length of the jacket are also great features. This is the best rain jacket I have ever owned, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a lightweight, packable rain jacket.Pros: Ease of use
Very light rain gear
March 23, 2011

Excellent Jacket!!!

Love this rain jacket, it light weight, repels the rain and wind. Keeps you dry and the price was right.Pros: Great design, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Great raincoat
February 19, 2012
I finally upgraded from my old plastic-y raincoat to this jacket and it's a huge difference. The inside surface stays nice and dry and I don't feel sticky, even when active in this jacket. Pit zips also help if youre heatimg up under it. It runs a little large, but that's intended so that you can layer under this. I'm 6' 3", 180 lbs and I picked a large, which is necessary for the right arm length, in particular. I believe my arm length in dress shirts is usually 34.5" or so. I got it in the dark blue and it's suitable for work or play.

Great light rain jacket! I would recommend this jacket to a friend or family memeber. The quaility of this jacket is excellent. I have had other rain jackets and this one is by far the best.

Nice jacket.. not long though
May 12, 2011
This is truly a JACKET. It's not very long. Otherwise it does a great job... just not going to wear it over my sportcoat for work any time soon. As a jacket, it's quite waterproof and fits well.
Most Impressive
September 30, 2011
I took this jacket to Russia for a lot of wandering around and also for working outside in all sorts of weather conditions. It kept me totally, utterly, completely dry during some remarkably heavy Russian rain storms, it offered a good layer of protection from urban wind, and whenever I'd pop inside, a quick unzip of the vents kept my body temperature just right. It can also fold up and get quite compact for stuffing in your backpack. At 5'7" and thin, I often get 'small' and still find it a bit roomy, however I think this jacket fits true to size. I was really impressed with how this jacket held up, having had rain gear from other manufacturers, I found this jacket exceeded my expectations.

Typical North Face quality, can't go wrong with any of their products! Broke it in this weekend hiking in northern NH. Cool and rainy but was totally comfortable, highly recomended. Bribed my wife with one so she would hike with me, it worked!
Great Rain Jacket
October 11, 2011
I'm 5'11 160lbs and a Large fits with enough room for a sweatshirt underneath but it's great. I've stood in pouring rain for over an hour and when I take the jacket off I'm completely dry. It doesn't breath well but it's understandable for a hard shell. Overall it's a must have rain jacket. Highly recommended.
This is my first North Face
March 26, 2011
I received this Jacket today, and i was very happy. This is first North face product for me. I have been ordered The North Face at other site but product delviered to me was not fit and colar was not that i wnated. So I returned. But this Jacket's shape is very nice and very easy to carry. 1. Hood is very nice and easy to adjust. 2. Blcak colar is very fashionable 3. Sleeve adjust is very nice and easy to adjust and good finising.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Perfect for a rainy day
February 28, 2011
Runs a little bit larger than softshell jacket. I wear Large for North face softshell jackets, but the large size venture jacket is a little bit too big for me. I am 5 foot 10 inch tall. Medium fits better, but a little bit tight. The jacket only reaches to waist, I hop it is a little longer to cover my hips.Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use
quality purchase
March 23, 2011
I purchased this jacket for my husband to wear alone or over his North Face Denali Jacket. He is 6' tall and 200 pounds and the xlarge jacket works for him. He likes the fact that it zips under the arms for temp comfort and a little more room across his back for comfort when layering. I have ordered several items from Altrec and once again the have delivered great customer service.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever
March 18, 2012
great jacket haven't experienced a hurricane yet but should keep you dry in all rain conditions, wish it came in a tall size and a little snug in the shoulders for me too .Pros: Build quality, Performance
March 04, 2013
Bought this for my Dad and he loves it. Folds up perfectly and easily and it is exactly what he was looking for by holding up in the weather.Pros: Performance, Great value
December 29, 2012
My husband owns a similar rain jacket from North Face and has used it for many years. I ordered this one as a Christmas present, but the color bolt blue is more of a purple than a blue. May have to exchange it for another color.Pros: Great design
Excellent Choice
May 19, 2011
Very lightweight. Stops wind and rain. The green taupe color is very pleasing to the eye. The hood is convenient and stores well in the collar. Overall good product.

Great Rain/Wind Jacket
October 21, 2011
I'm 5'9" with a slim build. I ordered the Deep Blue color Venture Jacket. I ordered a Small and I think it fits perfectly for my build. So far, I've loved the design and fit of the jacket. Wore it in a light storm already and loved how it protected me from the rain. I'm looking forward to wearing for the autumn here in the Northeast. I would recommend this jacket for anyone who wants some kind of light rain jacket and wind breaker.
Best Bang for your Buck!
October 19, 2011
This is a great rain jacket! Very lightweight and cool. Nice size pockets and a billed hood. Fits a little big but not way off size. I have the black one and like it.
February 25, 2012
This jacket is great. The water just beads off like a freshly waxed car. It doesn't get wet. You can shake it off like an umbrella and then it is dry. Nice looking and comfy. Add a fleece underneath if it is cold, just wear it as is if it isn't cold out.
Good rain coat for the price
April 10, 2011
This is an excellent coat for the price. You can easily spend twice as much on a Patagonia or Columbia. This is just what I needed to replace my old rain jacket. This jacket is light and can be folded and stuffed into any bag. I keep mine in my Camelbak for biking and fishing. Also the underarm zippers are a nice addition on hot days.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value

good-looking shell.Highly functional,Useful year-round. loved this jacket. The jacket is breathable. It's lightweight. It's packable. Its pockets are zippered. It is exactly as described.
Great Waterproof Jacket

March 16, 2011
Great jacket! I just throw it in the bag for the commute from the train station. I'm 6' and the L size fits nicely. Super fast shipping and a great deal. Customer service was very quick to answer my questions!
Great raincoat
January 17, 2012
I bought this jacket to use as a raincoat, but ended up using it more as a windbreaker! Very stylish jacket, I even wear it to work in cool weather along with my khakis and button-down shirts. The jacket is super light and totally water-proof.
Exactly what I was looking for
August 18, 2011
This jacket fits and wears just like I was hoping it would. It is a very light jacket so it is great for the summer and mine has a little extra foom so I can easily wear a light fleece during the upcoming fall months. The North Face makes great products and this holds true doing what it was designed to do at a great price from Altrec.com.

Diane peered down at her sleeping client.
Out of the trillions of people in the Void, the one man she thought she'd never see again landed in her ship to have painful memories stripped away. He wanted to go back to a specific day, a fateful day, and remove it from his mind forever.
Diane stroked his face with trembling fingers. Sensitive tips traced the thick shadow of his beard, then marveled at the smooth plush of his lips. Duster didn't respond. He couldn't. Duster would be incommunicado for the next twelve hours.
She leaned close to smell the leather and canvas of him. Most people wore self-cleaning fabrics of strex or enotex, but Duster had said he hated the way they felt against his skin. Natural or nothing, he'd said with a grin that made her vote for nothing. And where most people slathered themselves in a chemical soup of personal products, Duster preferred simple soap and water. A deep breath of his scent refreshed a hundred erotic memories she'd worked desperately to submerge.
Succumbing to long-denied cravings, she put her lips against his, but his drug-slackened mouth didn't come close to her fantasies. She pulled back.
"Seven years."
He'd been both willing and eager to pay the hefty 1Mil-per-year fee to be stripped, but she'd put the job off time and again. Seven years was an eternity. Stripping a mind so deeply would cost her dearly, which was why she was alone with him in the ship. To do her work, she needed absolute privacy, not only so she could mentally and physically connect to her client but so that she could recover afterward. Seven years of memories would leave her drained for days. Tenacious, her mysterious client had jumped through hoops to sway her. After a year of negotiations, she'd accepted and signed the contract.
"I had no idea my desperate client was you." Diane trailed her fingers through his dusty blond hair. Buzzed short, the strands tumbled through her fingers with barely a whisper. In the past, his hair had been long and shaggy, tangling up in her fingers, allowing her leverage to pull him ever closer in a frenzy of passion.
"I have a feeling you came to have meeting me removed from your mind." Regret, sharp and shameful, caused tears to blur her gaze. When she wiped them away, she spied a platinum ring on his finger.
Moving back, she pressed her palm against her chest, feeling the chain-bound ring that hung between her breasts. With a trembling hand, she lifted his arm. After pulling the chain out from the folds of her diaphanous gown, she compared the two rings.
She lowered his hand to the table.
Clutching her ring, she left the room, locking the heavy metal door from the outside. She strode to the bridge as fast as she could in her decorative high heels. The fashionable yet delicate gem-encrusted shoes would probably disintegrate under her if she stomped. She yanked the useless fluffs off after she threw herself into the pilot seat. Her fingers flew over the keypad as she activated every defense system on her ship.
Her hand hovered over the panic switch. If she flipped it, members of Network Thirteen would come out to the ship. Diane couldn't turn Duster in. Maybe not just yet. Maybe not at all. She simply didn't know enough about him to make that decision. Seven years ago, he'd been a slaver, but she had no idea what he was now.
Duster still had twelve hours before he came out of the anesthesia. Ironically this would have been her grand finale for Network Thirteen. She was determined to change her identity and start working as a stripper on her own, far away from the unrelenting press of their thumb. After seven years, she had the money to do what she'd always longed for, but now that Duster reentered her life, he threw all her plans out the window. Since he'd wanted seven years stripped, she figured she had three days to strip him with four days for each of them to recover. At best she had a week with Duster before her network would come looking, suspicious that she hadn't returned him.
"A week to do what? Discover just how much he hates me?"
Diane touched the ring on the chain around her neck. She didn't wear it on her hand like he did, because she couldn't let the women of Network Thirteen see a wedding ring. But not a day had gone by in the last seven years where she didn't touch her ring and think of the only man she'd ever loved. Duster Jennings. A slaver.
Just seeing the mate to her ring on his finger filled her with confused terror. He must have still care for her to wear it, or he had vowed to hunt her down and kill her. She didn't know. She couldn't read him, his memories, unless he allowed her to. She had to touch him to do her work, and he had to be in the proper situation for her healing touch to be effective.
As a stripper, she would put him into a hypnotic alpha state with drugs so his mind would open to her. Duster had been in such a state when he'd been loaded on her ship. Once she realized who her mysterious client was, she'd panicked and hit a button that automatically injected him to the point he rested in a chemically induced coma. Diane could safely induce such a state in him for only a few more hours, which would extend the twelve-hour lead time she had, but any longer than sixteen hours might cause irreversible brain damage.
What would she do with him after that? She couldn't strip him. She couldn't return him to Dahank, the planet she picked him up on. She couldn't keep him. As pleasing as the prospect of keeping him her prisoner was, she couldn't. He'd never let her do what she wanted to do with him. Given their history, he'd go out of his way to kill her, and she honestly couldn't blame him.
Pressing her thumb and forefinger to the bridge of her nose, she squeezed hard as she considered her limited options. If she kept him in the stripping room and drugged him lightly, he wouldn't be able to escape. And she could touch him all she wanted. But she couldn't keep him there forever.
"We haven't seen each other in seven years. You want seven years stripped. We once had seven days together. I have seven days to decide what to do with you." Diane sighed. "Seven seems to be our number."
She turned her mind back to when she'd been a slave and Duster had been her master. Within a week, she made Duster her slave. Encouraging him to mate with her turned him against everything and everyone he believed in. Linking them as mates made them strive toward a common goal—survival for themselves and their potential children. After using her feminine wiles to compel a commitment from him, she'd dumped him off in the Void without a breath of explanation. And she certainly didn't want to give him one now.
"Eventually, I'll have to release him. But where? And how?"
Diane studied Duster over the audvid. He hadn't moved. Anticipation at seeing his mossy-green eyes open filled her with both longing and fear. She wanted to see lust in his gaze but dreaded seeing only burning hatred reflected back.
"How could he ever forgive me for betraying him?"

Sometimes, your average, run-of-the-mill hip-hop just won't cut it. You need some beats and rhymes that are a little…different. This week, OurStage's own technical liaison Jordan has put together a playlist for all those alternative hip-hop fans out there. Here's a mix of rappers who are all thinking outside the box, creating odd combinations of sounds and lyrics to form a synthesis of head-bobbing tunes. These unusual rap songs from artists like Outkast, Philadelphia Slick, Gorillaz, and many more are sure to give you a whole new way to look at rap music. Post up, and contemplate the unique stylings of alternative hip-hop.

If you are taking this class as a "filler" pick something up. I agree with the other comment on here, the course is not known. The work is not difficult, it is just unclear. Of all the professors I have had at NU so far (out of 8) she has given the most work. I am only on day 3, I'v done a 4 page paper, a quiz, and a presentation.
Very confusing with her assignments. Her syllabus states one thing, but what she says in class doesn't match. Due to this confusion I had to change my paper at the last minute and struggled to have it complete. This is also true about her in class activities. She is extremely confusing, and you have to ask what the task is several times.

I can't finish the last mission :<
the girl behind them
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
I'm so into skateboarding but I can't skate, I've never spent that much time on learning something new with the piece of board. But I've always enjoyed playing Tony Hawk's game series. And what I liked in THAW was definitely bunch of punks with Mindy on top and my skater that was always dressed in punky stuff haha.The most embarrassing mission was to take some kind of roof off the building. You had to press a button (attributed to an ollie) as fast as you could. But the required speed was horribly fast! It was a completely failure.
Portal 2
I love this game! Played it twice, both single and co-operation. It sometimes took me a lot of time to solve some puzzle, but I never got bored or anything.
Remember me
There should be less fighting and more opportunities to move around. I think the plot was as great as the soundtrack (I loved it), but its potential was hardly used. And of course this game was too short! And why there was nothing said when Bad Request died? I felt a little awkward when the game ended.
Mirror's Edge
I think it's my favorite game of all time.

There is more than one artist with this name: 1. Client are a futurist British musical group from London, England. They combine Scandinavian airline hostess uniforms with glamour-girl aesthetics and harsh electronics to create a sound reminiscent of early forays into electronic sound manipulation and new wave. Their uniforms have become their trademark.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - As more bicyclists take to Sioux Falls streets, it's important that they and drivers are mindful of each other's needs.
The emphasis on bicycles and vehicles sharing the road comes as Sioux Falls police responded to 2 such accidents in the last week. A woman was killed last week when a vehicle struck her as it was exiting a parking lot at 49th and Kiwanis.
Then on Wednesday a 15 year old girl suffered non-life threating injuries when she was struck by a vehicle in the Lewis parking lot at 41st and Larch. In this incident the 88 year old woman driving the car didn't see the bicyclist, and also didn't recognize the crash had happened as she continued to drive a way with the bike and its rider under her car. The driver was cited for failing to yield.
Transportation Planner Sam Trebilcock says motorists must provide a three foot space when passing bicyclists. Trebilcock says share the road. Bicyclists have the same rights to the road as motor vehicles do. If there is not enough room for the three foot space, the bicyclist can take the road by riding in the middle.
Trebilcock says bicyclists in streets must ride as they would drive, obeying all traffic laws and signs. If bicyclists are riding on the sidewalks, they must stop at ALL intersections and cross only at intersections.
The city has video on it's website detailing bike and motor vehicle safety.

Gulfstream demonstrates 'quiet spike' for potentialsupersonic bizjet
Gulfstream Aerospace hosted a NASA F-15 in Savannah, Ga., on February 14 for an aerial demonstration of its Quite Spike telescopic nose spike installation. If Gulfstream were ever to decide to launch a supersonic business jet, it would have to employ some means of suppressing the sonic boom while flying over land.
Instead of building an airplane that could exceed Mach 1 only away from land, Gulfstream envisions a design with a retractable spike on the nose that extends to change the shape of the nose and alter the impact of the sonic boom. Lab testing has shown that the spike can reduce the sound of the boom, resulting in a boom that is quieter than that of the Concorde supersonic airliner by a factor of 10,000.
The spike testing on the F-15 was done to verify the structural integrity of the system, not its sonic boom suppression capability. There was some testing of the shock wave created by the spike, said a Gulfstream spokesman, but the F-15 installation won't have much of an effect on its sonic boom. Funds for the Quiet Spike come from Gulfstream's research and development budget, the spokesman said, but until and if the FAA changes the regulations that prohibit sonic booms in the U.S., "there's no case for us being involved in a supersonic business jet."

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Two men face charges after they ran through a Virginia Beach movie theater wearing clown masks.
Virginia Beach police spokesman Jimmy Barnes tells WAVY-TV that Blake Newton and Jamar K. Washington Jr. are charged with wearing masks in public, a felony, and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
Washington also is charged with possession of marijuana and two weapons counts. He says he had a knife.
The incident occurred Monday evening at Regal Columbus Theaters.
Washington tells WAVY that he didn't intend to scare or hurt anyone. Newton says the pair "just messed up."
Police say men's prank was insensitive. It occurred just months after a gunman killed 12 people and injured 58 others at a theater in Colorado.

I have said this before, but I hate shoe shopping! Shoes are expensive, they hurt your feet and they're not fun to shop for (in my opinion..I know I'm outnumbered). So when I need new shoes, my go-to is DSW because they have a big selection in one place with brand names and reasonable prices. If I need a new pair of shoes, I usually start off by going to the Downtown Crossing DSW to browse around and try some on. But I have found that I usually end up buying from DWS.com because they have more to choose from and you can return online purchases to a store.
Last month, I wanted a pair of flat black ankle boots to wear with leggings, etc. I ended up going with these Diba ankle boots that I found on DSW.com. $55 and my feet haven't hurt wearing them!
PS – if you want to see more of my work outfits, like the clothing menu on Facebook.

MONONA (WKOW) -- Firefighters were called out to a water rescue on the Yahara River Thursday afternoon, but when it turned out to be nothing they turned it into a training exercise.
Officials say they received a report of someone who needed help on the ice near Lottes Park in Monona.
When they didn't find anything, they turned it into a training exercise. A crew from the McFarland Fire Department took out their ATV to run through a rescue.
Firefighters say they value the practice.
"It's very important especially in a volunteer fire department because we don't have career staff. It's whatever is available in the village that day when the call comes in... is what they've got to do. So the volunteer fire departments, it's totally different. They have to be trained in every part of the fire department," said Rob Kunze with the McFarland Fire Department.
Firefighters say they haven't had much opportunity to practice rescues the past few years because the ice hasn't been thick enough.

Irish Unionist Alliance

|Political position
|Politics of Ireland
Political parties
The Irish Unionist Alliance (also known as the Irish Unionist Party) was a unionist party founded in Ireland in 1891 from the Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union to oppose plans for Home Rule for Ireland within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The party was led for much of its life by Colonel Edward James Saunderson and later by the William St John Brodrick, Earl of Midleton. In total, eighty-six members of the House of Lords affiliated themselves with the Irish Unionist Alliance, although its membership was small.
The party aligned itself closely with Liberal Unionists and the Conservative Party to campaign to prevent the passage of a new Home Rule Bill. Among its most prominent members were Dublin barrister Edward Carson and founder of the Ireland's cooperative movement Horace Plunkett. Its electoral strength was largely (though not exclusively) Dublin-based, with it electing MPs from constituencies in the south Dublin area and for the Dublin University constituency. There was a unionist majority on Rathmines district council until 1929, seven years after most of Ireland became independent from the UK.
Ulster Unionism[edit]
The party was replaced in Ulster by the Ulster Unionist Party from the start of the twentieth century. In Ulster, other reasons for unionism included the industrial growth of Belfast after 1850 that depended on the British Empire, and a fear of Rome Rule, the worry about a Catholic-dominated Irish parliament. In the tense period between the Parliament Act 1911 and the Home Rule Act 1914, the Ulster unionists created their own paramilitary group, the "Ulster Volunteers", raising the spectre of civil war.
From 1914 to the formal partition of Ireland in 1920–21, the Ulster Unionists relied upon their local electoral majority in what became Northern Ireland. Under the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty Northern Ireland became a part of the Irish Free State from its creation on 6 December 1922; the Northern Irish parliament voted to leave the Free State two days later.
Southern Unionists[edit]
From the suggestion of some sort of north-south partition under the 1914 Home Rule Act, the Southern Unionists (in what would become Southern Ireland and then the Republic of Ireland) were in a much weaker electoral position than the Ulster Unionists, and necessarily they had to compromise with their opponents.[citation needed]
Social position[edit]
Their leaders included wealthy and well-educated men who wanted to live in Ireland, and felt Irish. Their cultural affiliations with the British Empire led to their description locally as Anglo-Irish, and by unkind opponents as "West Brits".[1] They were generally Anglicans while many of the more strident Ulster Unionists were Presbyterians.
Though their numbers were small, a considerable amount of industry in Southern Ireland had been developed indigenously by Southern Unionist supporters. These included Jacob's Biscuits, Bewley's, Beamish and Crawford, Jameson's Whiskey, W.P. & R. Odlum, Cleeve's, R&H Hall, Dockrell's, Arnott's, Goulding Chemicals, the Irish Times and notably the Guinness brewery, then Ireland's largest company. They controlled financial entities such as the Bank of Ireland and Goodbody Stockbrokers. They were concerned that a new home rule state might create new taxes between them and their markets in Britain and the British empire, that would add to their costs and probably reduce sales and therefore employment. They were all considered to be good employers by contemporary standards.
Southern Unionist landowners had inherited large estates that were being sold off to tenant farmers under the recent Irish Land Acts. As a group they were richer by about £90 million by 1914, which would either stay in the Irish economy, given a favourable political arrangement, or leave if the outcome appeared too uncertain or too radical.[2] This temporarily gave them a voice far beyond their number in the Irish electorate. Some of the more progressive of these attempted to introduce a moderate form of devolution through the Irish Reform Association. Others of the landed gentry were prominent in horse breeding and racing, and as British Army officers.
In discussing problems of civic morality in 2011 in the Republic of Ireland, former Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald remarked that before 1922: "In Ireland a strong civic sense did exist – but mainly amongst Protestants and especially Anglicans".[3]
Political realities 1914–22[edit]
Having opposed Home Rule before 1914, they came to regard a Home Rule Ireland within the empire as preferable to an entirely independent Ireland outside it. Many of its leading figures were associated with the Kildare Street Club, a gentleman's club in Dublin. They were said to represent about 300,000 people out of a population of about 3 million in what is now the Republic of Ireland (i.e. excluding Northern Ireland).[4][5]
Southern Unionist members sided with Irish Nationalists against the Ulster Unionists during the 1917–18 Irish Convention in an attempt to bring about an understanding on the implementation of the suspended Home Rule Act 1914. Home Rule did however come to pass for Northern Ireland under the Government of Ireland Act 1920.[6]
The Alliance's opposition to Irish partition led to its being marginalised at the 1918 general election, which showed the rising influence of the republican Sinn Féin party on the one hand and the Ulster Unionist Council on the other. Just three Southern Unionists were elected, one for Rathmines in Dublin and two in the University of Dublin constituency. Although the election saw many Alliance members such as Edward Carson returned for Ulster constituencies, they did not agree with the need to keep Ireland united, even under Home Rule.
Though the IUA hoped to play a part in the Parliament of Southern Ireland envisaged under the 1920 Act, the parliament never functioned. The Irish Times, said to be the "voice of Southern Unionists", realised that the 1920 Act would not work and argued from late 1920 for "Dominion Home Rule", the compromise that was eventually agreed upon in the 1921–22 Anglo-Irish Treaty.
Despite its impotence, hundreds of those seen as its supporters were attacked as soft targets in the Anglo-Irish War (1919–21) and the Irish Civil War (1922–23), tens of thousands emigrated and hundreds of houses were burnt.[7] The IUA helped form the Southern Irish Loyalist Relief Association to assist war refugees and claim compensation for damage to property.[8][9][10]
Irish Free State[edit]
The party lost its reason to exist following the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922. Some of its leading figures, such as the Earl of Midleton, Lord Dunraven, James Campbell and Horace Plunkett (a cousin of Count Plunkett), were appointed in December 1922 by WT Cosgrave to the Free State's first Senate.[11] Amongst others, Horace Plunkett's home in County Dublin was then burnt down during the Irish Civil War (1922–23) because of his involvement in the Irish Senate. From 1921 IUA voters generally supported the mainstream Cumann na nGaedheal party.
In the 1923 election three formerly loyalist businessmen were elected as the Business and Professional Group.
From 1921 to 1991 the proportion of Southern Irish Protestants declined from 10% to 3% of the population; these had provided the bulk of the IUA's support base.[12]

Most visiting climbers from the UK come to Sardinia to climb single-pitch sport climbs, often choosing a base such as Cala Gonone or Ogliastra so that they can combine a beach holiday with climbing. But they are missing out - there are amazing multi-pitch sport routes on the island and you can easily find yourself high up on a wonderful route, in a beautiful and remote setting.
It is sometimes said that the main difference between the climbing on Sardinia and on Kalymnos is Sardinia's multi-pitch routes. With the walk-ins, the abseil descents and the 'Alpine' feel, you can expect long and satisfying days out that you won't easily forget. The only bit of extra gear you will need in order to open up this world of multi-pitch challenges is an extra rope - even Ryan Air should be able to cope with that!
Though Sardinia has multi-pitch trad routes – notably on the Gallura granite in the north east, and on Punta Cusidore or at Surtana, whose limestone lends itself to placing nuts – the focus of this article is on modern multi-pitch bolted sport routes, and in particular those by the sea, which combine the best of the island environment with great climbing.
The main areas for multi-pitch sport climbs in Sardinia are:
Aguglia of Goloritzč
The Aguglia of Goloritzč needs no introduction and is often the topic of UKC forum discussions. Its routes are short, easy to get to (by RHIB from Cala Gonone or Santa Maria Navarrese, but for the full experience walk down from the Golgo plateau) and straightforward to descend from. There's nearly always someone on the beach, and there's always a mobile phone signal. Climbing here doesn't feel too adventurous and these routes are a good introduction to multi-pitch climbing. The most popular route on the Aguglia is Easy Gymnopedie6b+ (5+ obl) - topo here . One of the best routes is Sole Incantatore 6c (6b obl) which is described in the Rockfax guide to Cala Gonone.
Another good route in the area of around the same grade is Onda su Onda, which tackles the wall overlooking the Aguglia and from which the photo above was taken as we climbed it (the wall is in shade in the afternoon).
Punta Giradili is the 400 m upturned bottle-shaped pillar you can see from the car park of Pedra Longa, at the bottom of the hill from the popular Villaggio Gallico and Creuza de Ma' crags. There is a huge cave to the left of the main pillar. A new route, of about the same difficulty as the routes on the Aguglia, is Parthenia, which climbs up to the left of the big cave.
After this, the next route to do is Mediterraneowhich not too long, 240 m, and its 7a+ pitch can be climbed as 6b/A0 to make the route, with the new last two 6c pitches, 6c max 6b obl S2 - topo here. The most popular route, though, is Wolfgang Güllich, which goes straight up the walls and slabs of the main pillar, with sustained climbing on pockmarks. A strong team can do this in around 8 hours, running together various pitches with 60 m ropes and 19 quickdraws. 390 m, close bolting, the guide says max 7a but 6c+ would be more accurate, 6b obl. S1+
The S Grade
A multi-pitch route has both a maximum and an obligatory grade. While the maximum grade is obvious and is what you can equate to a single-pitch route, the obligatory grade and distance between bolts are actually what you really need to focus on. A high (for you) obligatory grade, and bolts far apart, mean lots of sweaty palms, and the more-familiar E-grades seem more appropriate when the next bolt is several metres above you and the last one several metres below ... and even if you had some wires, there's nowhere to put them!
You can make a rough assessment of the average distance between bolts on a route by dividing the pitch length by the number of quickdraws suggested for the route +1. For example, if there are pitches up to 35m, it says bring only 10 quickdraws, then on average the bolts are 3 metres apart on the longer pitches.
Pietra di Luna gives you further information with an 'S' grade. The 'S' grade indicates the seriousness: S1 means closely-spaced bolts, S2 means the bolts can be well-spaced with harder obligatory moves. Obligatory moves are moves you can't aid, and have to be able to climb to get between the bolts and up the route. So Mediterraneo at S2, has the bolts further apart than Wolfgang Güllichat S1+.
Pietra di Luna also has a number of little circles (°°°,°°,°) in the description which are used to indicate how well-protected each section is. You may have 7a °°° meaning it is well bolted, and then 6b °° with the two circles indicating more-spaced bolts. Generally, the harder sections of a route will be well-bolted, but the bolts can be further apart (and falling inadvisable if the terrain is slabby) on easier sections, since it is assumed that a leader who can tackle the harder sections won't have problems on the easier sections. All this adds up to the routes feeling much more serious than single-pitch sport climbing, and you should definitely start with easier routes to get used to things.

A couple of lesser-known nearby routes are absolutely brilliant. Abissi is located 500 m south of Cala Goloritzč. 5 pitches, max 7a, 6b+ obl and S1 bolting. It overhangs all the way. Pitch two is fantastic steep 6c+ climbing on tufas and from the stance at the end of it the ropes hang down in space. Abbing back down this is nearly as exciting as climbing it, as you have to place the quickdraws descending and clip the ropes into them as you traverse diagonally and so as not lose contact on the overhangs.
Punta Argennas, opposite Punta Giradili, is much less popular than Giradili, but the route Autopsia di un alieno, 4 pitches between 6c/+ and 7b, has some of the best rock and climbing around. It follows the smooth wall in the centre of the photo, just left of the cleft of Bacu Orrolossi through which you go down to the foot of the route.
Moving up in terms of difficulty, here you find multipitch routes that are world-level testpieces. For years, Hotel Supramontein the Gola su Gorroppu was Italy's hardest multi-pitch route, being repeated by Europe's top climbers including the first onsight in 2008 by Adam Ondra. At Punta Giradili, Mezzogiorno di Fuocois almost as hard, 8b max 7c obligatory. At Monte Ginnirco, there are several new multi-pitch routes, around S3+ 7a+ obligatory...
