Our times are especially susceptible to satire. Both the subject-matter and the satirists can come from all sides. Something that began as a real issue can be driven into the realm of the absurd, then resurface as serious discussion. Nothing and no one is safe. The new political satire, "The Einstein Sisters Bag the Flying Monkeys" by Irving Wesley Hall, is built on the situation of three Jewish great-great-granddaughters of Albert Einstein who have been abandoned by their parents and enrolled in a conservative Christian school. Their story is a biting critique of religion and politics.
The fictional Einstein Sisters are Tina, Norma and Maxine, ages 7, 14 and 16. Shepherd's Vale School is run by the Rev. Moriah Godley. Miss Bowdler watches over the school library. There are student pals named Matthew, Mark, Luke and Juanito. The school mascot is a red heifer that will be sacrificed at the end of the football season. And in satirical disregard of the First Amendment, this parochial institution has been established as a public school. That may all be an opening for comment and comedy, but the time and setting of the story are crucial: it happens in the state of Florida around Election Day in the year 2000.
"'Excuse me, sir,' [Mr. Cassandra, the football coach] said hesitantly, choosing words with care, 'isn't Albert Einstein's theory of relativity as subversive of our Old Testament physics as Darwin's theory of evolution is subversive of our Old Testament biology? I've been teaching here eight weeks and I haven't observed the slightest hint of relativity. Everything at Shepherd's Vale is absolute. You even condemn 'intelligent design' as a sinister liberal plot.'
'Albert Einstein was a socialist!' Miss Bowdler declared. She certainly didn't need a trio of uppity Jews in her one-woman library second-guessing Shepherd's Vale's rigidly limited book selection or highly restrictive Internet filters.
'Most Jews are left-wing liberals,' she added. 'Everyone in Eternal Memory Beach will vote Democratic next month, especially with Joseph Lieberman running for vice president. Didn't you remind us during prayers, sir, that Bush's election is critical for the success of the Ten Commandments Charter School movement?'
— from "The Einstein Sisters Bag the Flying Monkeys"
The stalemate of the 2000 presidential election in Florida is foretold by a student with the gift of prophecy. The story unrolls through 614 pages and touches on almost every hot-button issue of the day, from gay marriage to the situation in the Middle East. The long-running conflict between Israel and the Palestinians takes up much of "The Einstein Sisters Bag the Flying Monkeys", especially the ongoing debate over Christian Zionism and dispensationalism, including the notion that the founding of the modern State of Israel is a harbinger to Christians of the Second Coming. The Einstein Sisters sense that they are being guided to go to Israel and take part in the battle of Armageddon. In preparation for that decisive event, students at Shepherd's Vale are developing an Armageddon Theme Park in Florida.
Instead, the three girls work to change attitudes among their classmates and challenge neo-conservatives (the "flying monkeys" of the title). As Irving Hall explains, "the core conflict is the irreconcilability of Old Testament tribalism (Zionism and Christian fundamentalism) and New Testament universality (Albert Einstein's secular Judaism and Jesus' Christianity)."
Irving Wesley Hall was a student radical in California in the 50s and 60s, earned a Ph.D. in political science from the University of California – Riverside, debated William F. Buckley, Jr. and then-Governor Ronald Reagan and, by his own description, "has been born again once, bankrupted once and jailed four times." He has worked on a dynamite crew and as a mortician's assistant, ran an interior design and construction company. Hall's articles on the health dangers of depleted uranium have been widely distributed. He lives in New Berlin, NY and teaches history at the Norwich campus of Morrisville State College.
Hall joins Bill Jaker on OFF THE PAGE to tell about writing his monumental political satire and speak about his rebellious past and the nation's political future.

Boxer Danny Green steps into the ring against Argentinian powerhouse Roberto Bolonti at Hisense Arena on Wednesday.
Green admits it won't be an easy fight.
His opponent has won 36 of his career 39 fights; with his only losses coming at the hands of world champion Jurgen Brahmer and leading contender Tony Bellew. Even then the fights were close and went the full distance.
Green, on the other hand, has spent the last three years fishing, surfing and making sporadic television appearances.
"It's a risky fight," said a very wary Green, "because Bolonti has been active, in real fights and I've only been training in the gym.
"He's match-fit and won a title fight by knockout in Argentina only two weeks ago. He jumped at the chance to fight me on short notice so that shows how keen and confident he is. It only makes for a more exciting fight."
Notorious fight-picker Anthony Mundine is watching the fight carefully. He is looking for an 'adequate' opponent for his last few money-spinning fights. Depending upon the form green shows Mundine may choose to step into the ring with him for the third time.
When the two last met (in 2006) the match became the riches ever on Australian shores. Mundine outpointed a surprisingly flat-footed Green in a rather boring 12 rounmds.
Green enters the ring against Bolonti with a record of 33-5 (28 KOs); while Bolonti boasts 36-3 (25 KOs).

A step towards finding the cancer switch
Media Release: 17 June 2009
Sydney epigeneticists believe they are one step closer to locating the switch that turns on cancers.
Epigenetics, the biochemical processes that 'switch on' bad genes and 'switch off' good ones, inhabits in an infinitesimal universe.
The nucleus of each cell in our body contains two metres of DNA, roughly 30,000 genes, compacted very tightly.
Understanding the processes that take place inside those strands of DNA will help us control them, unleashing great advances in medicine, particularly the treatment of cancer.
PhD student Rebecca Hinshelwood and Professor Susan Clark at Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney believe they have solved a central puzzle. Their findings, which describe how the breast cancer suppressor gene P16 is silenced, are published online in the current issue of Human Molecular Genetics.
"We are very much working in the outer space of the cell," said Professor Clark, leader of the project. "We're zooming into these tiny changes that then trigger the remodelling of the gene."
"Capturing that moment of change is critical, when a normal cell starts to become a cancer cell. Just before and during the very first cell division."
When you look at a strand of DNA down a very powerful microscope, you see what looks like beads on a string. The beads, known as 'nucleosomes', are small proteins that help the long strand of DNA coil into the smallest space possible. Exactly 160 'base pairs' of DNA wrap around each nucleosome, followed by a 50 base pair stretch of uncoiled DNA, or 'linker'. The whole genome is organised in this 'higher order structure'.
While you can see the bead and string shape of DNA under a microscope, you cannot see the molecular processes that take place inside. For that, epigeneticists must measure and analyse biochemical changes, including 'methylation' (when groups of molecules attach to DNA and literally cause it to scrunch up, or close down).
Clark explained that members of her lab have been able to map the process of methylation in three dimensions and show that "it targets the string between the beads first, what we call the 'linker' region of DNA. It then goes on to spread around the nucleosomes, or beads."
"There's been a chicken and egg debate in the literature for some time. Which comes first, methylation or silencing. As it happens, we find that they work in tandem, like a crank. A bit of methylation, a bit of silencing. A bit more methylation, a bit more silencing. Until the gene shuts down permanently."
"Obviously, when a tumour suppressor gene shuts down, cancers can form. While we looked specifically at a breast cancer suppressor gene in our study, our finding applies to all cancers."
"The dream of every cancer researcher is that one day we will be able to turn off the cancer switch."
Unlike genetic alterations, epigenetic changes can be reversed. Methylation, for example, can be eliminated by epigenetic drugs. Good genes can be switched on again, bad ones switched off.
There are various epigenetic drugs in clinical trials at the moment.

A favorite work fantasy is that delicious moment when you have landed a wonderful new job and get to tell your old bosses exactly what you think of them.
Paula Sendar, a dietitian in Norwalk, Conn., remembers the temptation well. She said she had suffered months of frustration over a stream of mistakes and insensitive actions she believed senior management had inflicted on a hospital where she worked. ``I couldn`t wait to ventilate my feelings,`` she said, recalling her departure last August.
Sendar was persuaded by a career counselor to avoid an outburst. One reason for silence is to avoid gossip about irresponsible and immature behavior. ``In most industries everyone knows everyone else,`` says Neil Lewis, a corporate psychologist. ``What you did at Company A will surely follow you to Companies B and C.`` Lewis works with Rohrer, Hibler & Replogle Inc., management consultants in Atlanta.
Lewis also warns that allegations made during an outburst can hurt the wrong person. Sendar, for example, realized her criticisms would make her immediate superior look bad. ``And the problems weren`t really her fault,`` she said.
Counselors warn that anybody who is made to look bad, especially unjustly, can harbor a grudge for years.
Leaving gracefully can enhance self-esteem. ``You feel very good about yourself and that`s very important when you are about to start a new job,`` said James P. Smith, a psychologist who is director of the Vocational Counseling Clinic at Temple University.
Career counselors and industrial psychologists have several recommendations about cutting the cord, such as diffusing pent-up anger. Ilise Gold, a career counselor in Westport, Conn., encourages her clients to write down a list of their gripes.
Rhoda Frindell Green, a psychologist and career counselor in New York City, said a person who is leaving should carefully pick the best moment to go, on the bases of both personal considerations and of what might be best for the company, such as waiting until a certain project is completed or a replacement is found. ``By putting forth a plan that can be negotiated, you show a concern for the company`s interests as well as your own,`` she said.

Photography Business Startup Ideas | Beginner's Checklist For Running A Successful Photography Business
Photography Business Startup Ideas | Running a photography business can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only do you get to do what you truly love and actually earn money doing it, you also get to showcase your creativity and talent. While we'd hate to burst your bubble, you need to keep in mind that running a photography business requires a lot more than raw talented – you'll need to have a solid plan if you're planing to stand out from the crowd of other shooters in your niche or your particular area and turn your business idea into a profitable business!
Photography Business Startup Ideas | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
There will be countless pitfalls on your way to success, and you'll have a much better chance of surviving the startup phase if you hit the ground running, which is why we gathered some of the most crucial tips that will help you stand out in your market, appeal to your target audience and book more clients! With some of these tricks, you'll be able to instantly see results, while others might take a bit more to gain steam. However, whether you're an absolute beginner, or you've been in the industry for quite some time now and are looking for tips and tricks to boost your business, we're sure you'll find something interesting and new in here. Let get started!
Write A Business Plan | Photography Business Startup Ideas
Every successful business owner will tell you one thing – in order to achieve your goals, you first need to clearly define them and write them down. With the new year right around the corner, this is the ideal moment for you to sit down and write down the things you want to achieve next year. Do you want to double the number of sessions? Or would you like to boost sales of prints? By clearly defining your goals, you'll have a much better idea of what you need to do in order to accomplish them.

Check Out Your Website | Photography Business Startup Ideas
Your website is the central hub of your online presence, acting like a shop window your potential clients can look through before deciding whether to hire you or not. This is why you need to make sure that you're maintaining it on a regular basis. Does your website still have the link to your MySpace page? Does it still use Flash? If your answer to either of these questions was "Yes," it's definitely time you update your website, or do a complete redesign.
You'll want your website to use the latest technology and keep it up to date with the current trends, but don't overlook your portfolio page – it deserves some love as well! Make sure you're updating your portfolio every 3-6 months, adding new examples of your work and removing examples that no longer represent your skills and area of specialization.
Start Tweeting! | Photography Business Startup Ideas
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have came a long way from being just random websites students logged into during breaks! Today, social media is an irreplaceable marketing tool no business owner can afford to overlook. Set up accounts for your photography business on every network your target audience and potential clients use, but don't forget the visual networks such as Instagram and Pinterest. The great thing about social media is that it requires only up to 20 minutes a day to maintain a strong presence, and you'll start seeing results sooner than you think!
Start Networking | Photography Business Startup Ideas
Networking can be an incredibly powerful marketing tool when used right. Not all networks are created equal though – instead of mindlessly introducing yourself to strangers, devise a strategy and approach business owners that are targeting similar audience as you are, but are providing non-competing services. For example, if you're a wedding photographer, you'll want to build a network of florists, cake decorators, wedding planners, caterers, and so on. Then, you can refer your clients to them, and they'll return the favor. You'd be surprised how loyal business owners can be to each other when they really hit it off.

Revisit Your Pricing Plan | Photography Business Startup Ideas
If you don't have a pricing plan set up, it's time to take care of it. Even if you're just starting out and you need to lower the prices in order to book sessions, it's a better idea to have a starting point than to let your clients dictate the terms. And if you've been running a photography business for quite some time now, but have been able to sell only one of your packages, you should go back to the drawing board and see how you can tweak the packages in order to book more clients.

Invest In The Right Equipment | Photography Business Startup Ideas
While the appeal of the picture you take will depend on your talent and skills as a photographer, there's no denying that the equipment you use will also affect the end-result, so you'll want to make sure you get the best equipment your budget allows. However, keep in mind that you'll also need backup equipment as well, as the last think you want to happen is to have your only camera break down in the middle of a shoot. And lastly, you'll want to invest in a good computer and editing software for editing the pictures you take before sending them to your clients!

good quality but low loft and not for extreme coldReviewed by Mudbug from Wisconsin on Saturday, May 28, 2016I am 200 pounds and about 6 tall, the XL fit me with enough room for a mid layer (like a heavy sweater). It is very light, made with very light nylon, and has zippered pockets and an adjustable hood, however not much loft. I winter camp in Northern WI and boundary waters, and own a number of down jackets made by marmot. The jacket would be ok in winter, but not for extreme cold, unless used in as a layer and covered with a shell.
Very warm, very comfortableVerified Buyer Reviewed by Stephen from Ohio on Tuesday, May 3, 2016This jacket alone keeps me warm in milder winter weather (~30F) and is roomy enough to serve as a top layer for colder weather. I got the blue, and it is definitely a lighter and a bit more feminine color than it appeared online, but it still looks really good.

"All 3 colors come only in XL? Looking for a large.
Due to the nature of the closeout business, we often receive items in limited quantities. Therefore, some sizes and colors can sell out quickly. Occasionally we are able to reorder a product, but closeout items are typically unable to be reordered. We suggest signing up for the My Updates as the best way to monitor incoming products. You will receive email notifications of our newest stock items.
"Hello, I'm 6' 2" 230 lbs ... Will the size xl fit me?"
"How roomy is the medium around the torso/waist? I have a larger chest (41) but narrow waist (29/30) and like a snug-fitting jacket even without layering. Is this fit for a more slender or the larger-bellied person?
This is typical Marmot fit: larger in the chest and shoulders, and normal in the waist. In most Marmot coats, I need a Medium (38 chest, 32 waist), but in this one, a small fits. Even with the small, the shoulders and arms are big and floppy. You might try a small, particularly if you like a snug fit.
Jacket Runs Big But it does have a Draw String to tighten up Waist
I would say this is more of a roomy cut. If you like a slim athletic cut, I would check some other styles.
I have a large. However, there are elastisized cords at the waist and velcro tightening straps around the wrist. The hood is connected to the jacket and cannot be rolled up perse. I found that I could lay the hood on the inside of the jacket if I needed to. The hood has elastisized cords to adjust the face and hood fit in all directions.
I don't think you will want to layer much beneath this jacket. Polypro underwear to wick the moisture away from the body and adds additional insulation. (Which may not be needed) An outer shell, preferably gortex, to make this garment water and wind proof. The skin of the jacket does a very good job in keeping the down in, and it is more highly repellent to water than those of the past. This skin is very light and allows the 800 Fill Down to remain expanded, better insulation. As far as "slender" or "large belly" persons. You are more in the middle if I had to guess. You do have adjustability for closing off any drafts. Two outside zip pockets and one large inside zip pocket.
I have been a Habidasher and speak from experience from clothing "Jocks" properly. It is not often easy with such a build. I also have made my living in the outdoors for over 35 years. There is a very good reason I use Marmot clothing and gear. I have a Marmot Goretex outer shell that does not crush the down. I have two Marmot Sleeping Bags, and the best tent Marmot ever designed, the "Swallow". I do not work for, nor am I paid to give my professional advice.
I normally wear a large Marmot jacket, but a reviewer suggested the jacket was quite roomy so I ordered a medium and happy I did. I have a 44 inch chest and not so narrow 36 inch waist with athletic build. The jacket fits snug but comfortable and very warm.
I consider this jacket to be better for a slender build. I'm 6' 2", 215 lbs, with a 34" waist and 44" chest, and found that the large size fit best (I originally bought the XL and had to return it, because it seemed huge). The large size still allows me to wear a base layer and light weight fleece underneath, but nothing more, and that's fine because I like the snug fit, seems to hold in the warmth better, which it does very well. It sounds like a medium would work with your body type, however you may find it snug in the chest area like I did, but for me this snugness wasn't constricting.
"Hello, How warm is this coat? I purchased one for my son to use next year at college, Illinois. The coat is very light, it seems like it may be not be warm enough for an Illinois winter. I may too old school to realize a good new technology. Is there a metric that states how warm the coat will be? IT has 800 down but does not specify how much insulative value it may have.
Than you for your help.
David "
I just put this coat through it's first winter in Michigan, and it was better than what I had hoped for. The 800 fill insulation kept me warm in single digit weather with only a base layer and long sleeve shirt under it. It's lightweight, extremely packable ( packs into its own pocket), and can cinch tight at the waist for windy days. Overall, a great coat. The 800 fill simply means it has a very high warmth to weight. You get a ton of warmth from a light, packable, jacket.

I Have a 4 Marmot Jackets this Is the Highest 800 and the Warmest of all My Downs and it's really Warm
???????????????? ??10??????
I bought mine this winter for use when it gets cold here in Minnesota. I only wore it when the temps were at or below 5 degrees (F); it was too warm for other temps. Keep in mind that I tend to run pretty warm and primarily used it for commuting. But there were days when I walked for 10-15 minutes at temps of down to -10, and I was very comfortable, with nothing below it other than a dress shirt and t-shirt. Hope that helps!
The higher the loft, the more insulting. Very warm and comfortable. Get a MARMOT Gortex jacket to make it waterproof and windproof. It fits with mine perfectly. Look for a shell that has pit-zips. The down jacket is warm enough that you may want to have some form of regulating that before sweating. Based on age and physical activity.I have been out in ZERO F. and my core was getting a bit warm. I was walking. The tight weave tends to restrict the wind a bit, but you should have a Gortex shell. Wind and water proof, breathable, with pit zips and hood. When it is just wet and not that cold, the shell will guard you from the weather conditions, wet and windy. Stay away from cottons in the winter. Layer with polypropylene, fleece. merino wool. These all wick moisture and dry incredible fast. You can overheat and sweat moisture into the down. Keep a constant mind on your body. Remove what you need to remove and stay comfortably dry. It sometimes can be best to take the down off. This jacket is weightless and can fold into a small pkg. I am a major outdoors person and must depend on my gear performance. Marmot is at the top for quality outdoor gear.
I live in Traverse City Michigan, located in the north west lower peninsula, so I know what cold and snow is like.
I can assure you that, if the fit is correct (not to loose), your son will be very happy with the coat. I particularly like the attached hood which fits very well.
The Ama Dablam jacket is my second Marmot down. My first Marmot down jacket does not have a hood and I prefer the hooded version when the weather is really cold.
You are correct in thinking the jacket appears too light weight to be so warm, but looks are deceiving.

Traverse City, MI
Its pretty warm. I was wearing it on top of the short-sleeve T-shirt at 25-28F and did not feel any cold. We did not have lower temps in Atlanta :-)
I would trust this jacket to be ok up to single digits but with layering underneath. - Alex
I am in Michigan and this is a very warm down jacket. I wore it down into the teens with just a t shirt. If layered it can easily go below zero. It is certainly not waterproof; but no down coat is. It is just as warm as 550/or 650 fill down jackets that are twice as thick because of the very high warmth to weight ratio of 800 fill down. You could get a windproof waterproof North face down jacket that is warmer but it will also be much heavier and only good for really cold days, sweaty on any days above freezing.. This jacket can be used from 55 degrees all the way down to as cold as it gets in IL. I think it is a good choice for your son. I don't believe there is metric but the higher fill count down insulates in an amazing way.
I also purchased this coat for my son who goes to U of Minnesota. He takes the bus in the morning and (long) walks outside to get to classes. I got it for him a few weeks ago but he was able to use it on a few subzero days and he was very happy with it. Of course, he does wear a hoodie under the coat. He kept saying the coat was so light and warm. One time we were out shoveling snow and the wind gust must be about 30 miles per hour and he said he did not feel the effect of the wind at all. I will purchase another one for my younger son. I hope this help.
An Indiana winter is very similar. I found it warm enough this winter. It also depends upon what you wear with it. When we had days with single digit highs this winter I would wear a warm hat, scarf, undershirt and shirt or sweater in order to keep warm. The jacket is very lightweight but I found it warm. If I had a job where I stood outside for hours it might not be enough but for walking around campus (I work on one) or hiking it is fine. I also have a Columbia hooded coat with a zip out fleece liner and the down jacket is much warmer.
I think it's best to think about this as a "mid-weight" down jacket. It is considerably warmer than the new breed of "small baffle" jackets like the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer, but not as warm as a really big puffy jacket. With a shirt and sweater (nothing technical), my Ama Dablam gets me down to around 20 degrees in comfort. Below that, I layer it with a thin insulated piece (in my case a Marmot Isotherm), and I'm good to around zero.
First, throw out the 800 down rating as having anything to do with warmth. That rating is for how much the down will loft when uncompressed and gives you an idea of how small the jacket will pack down. The key number in warmth is the amount of down used. This coat is thin and is not really a stand alone extreme cold weather coat in my opinion. Please keep in mind warmth is a very subjective thing. The numbers below are for me, an estimate and based on a dry day.
50 degree days, I would never wear this coat. It would be way too warm.
40 degree days, this coat is fine on it's own and in fact would be toasty.
30 degree days, would require a fleece mid layer if you are inactive, but would be perfect for mild activity.
20 degree days, this coat needs a fleece and a wind breaker for inactive and is perfect for backpacking.
10 degree days, this is where the coat starts to get a little too light for inactive use but is still good for backpacking.
5 degrees setting at a football game, this coat is not adequate.
5 degrees hiking with a 40lb pack, this coat works, but I was still a little cold until about the three mile mark.
I was at first disappointed with this coat myself, but after giving it a fair shot, I have used it a lot. It is not a tailgating, football game, fishing coat. But if you are active it is very nice and that light weight gets pretty beneficial on the trail. It also makes a great foot warmer in the sleeping bag and a heck of a pillow.
For reference, I am a sixty year old man, a cool to cold sleeper and like my house about sixty eight degrees in the winter. A younger person may find this coat much more suitable for college activity. Plus it is a great looking coat that should fit any social event.
I've not spent a winter in Illinois, but I do live Kansas City where we get plenty of temps below 20, even wind chills below 0. We get snow, ice, and just plain cold weather. I always wear Icebreaker underwear, and with regular clothes, this coat is good for around 20 degrees if you're walking. Maybe 30, if you're sitting still. Additional wool, or synthetic layers underneath can help extend this coat to cover the colder temps. That's part of the reason the sleeves seem so baggy, so as to allow layering. I walk 2.5 miles a day in all kinds of weather, and this coat works (as described above) in all but the coldest weather. You'll have to decide for yourself, but it's a great bargain for "most" conditions.
Heavier fill volumes can be found in jackets from other brands (like Westcomb, for example), but they are also much more expensive -- just in the name of full disclosure I have the Westcomb Himalaya for when I go to football games in the middle of December!
It's warm enough if you layer properly. I took this jacket to Missouri this past winter where it was single digits at night and 20s during the day. I layered with a long sleeve base layer during the day and added my marmot variant jacket underneath the ama Dablam as an extra insulation layer at night and I was toasty the whole time. It didn't rain or snow when I was there, but if it did I had a waterproof outer shell ready. The Ama Dablam by itself isn't great in a downpour. With a shell however, you are set for all weather conditions above subzero with proper layering.
I wore it today and it was just above freezing. When I started walking I had to take it off. It is really warm.
I am amazed how warm this jacket is. I wore it on the coldest days with layers, and walked 20 mins to the office regularly in single digits. It is not a long jacket, but that was OK with me. It is extremely light weight and allows for good movement--and very warm.
This coat is not very warm at all as there is hardly any insulation in it. Most of the reviews seem way off to me. People who say they are comfortable around 0 degrees are nuts. The jacket is paper thin.
I can use it around 35 degrees and up.
I bought it to replace a torn up north face nuptse down jacket, which was a good combo of warm and light.
Unfort this marmot jacket isn't warm enough to replace the north face. I guess I'll just use it in the fall.
"Hi can you verify that this color is the same team red color? on the picture it looks a bit pinkish red in than team red.
Thank you"
Sorry, I can't help on this one.... I bought the grey. You might call Marmot customer service with the color name, and they can describe the color to you.
It does look a little pinkish but a fantastic Coat I Love it Very Warm about to Buy another one already own 3 email@example.com
It does look a little pinkish but a fantastic Coat I Love it Very Warm about to Buy another one already own 3 email@example.com
I can not. I bought mine in the grey color. I wish I could help, but have never seen the red one.
Sorry, I purchased blue one, so I cannot comment on red. The blue one was slightly different from the way it appeared on screen. Blue was more of "electric blue" rather than darker blue on screen. In any case Sierra has good return policies and if you don't like the color they will take it back
It is a true red as red gets. The color may look pinkish but its because of the jacket material and texture. However, it is a great deal, very ward and great value for money. Go for it!
"how much the weight of insulation?"
It's in the title - 800 fill down
The weight of the insulation is about 20 ozs. Very light and very very warm compact insulation product that keeps you warm despite its weight. Reminds me of Military Grade Insulation...MGI. Worth its weight in gold.
Re 1st response- 800 fill power is the measure of the ability of the down to expand to fill a space; it has nothing to do with the weight of the down in the particular jacket. A jacket with 12 oz of 800 fillpower down will be puffier and heavier than a jacket with 10 oz of 800 fillpower down, all other things being equal Re 2d response - the down can't weigh 20 oz, since the whole jacket weighs 1 lb. 3 oz (19 oz), acc to the Marmot website. STP should require manufacturers to list the fill weight of their insulated products so we can compare
"What is the difference between Dark Azure (09) and Dark Azure/Slate Gray (13)?"
Dark Azure (09) is like a midnight dark blue and Dark Azure/Slate Gray (13) is a two tone midnight dark blue and a darker hue of gray. Whichever way both selections are well worth the money.
"mido 1m79cm
de pecho 100cm
manga 75cm
"I am 6' tall and 175# I was thinking about using this over 2 mid-weight layers and mh compressor jacket, would the large work? even with those 3 layers on my chest measurement is only 42-42.5. thanks"
The large fit chest sizes 42-45", it should be a good fit.
"I'm 6'0 185lbs with a 41" chest - First down jacket and I'm trying to decide between a Medium and a Large. How roomy does the jacket fit? I want to use the jacket as a mid layer with a lightweight base under it and a shell over for waterproofing. Which size should I get?"
I would recommend the large.

Susan Byrne has a message for investors who are waiting for the market to get back to normal.
"People need to understand...this is the new normal," the chairman and chief investment officer of Westwood Holdings Group told CNBC. "We're likely to be a much slower grower than outside the United States."
Outside the United States is where she finds investment opportunities.
Byrne has managed the five-star Westwood Equity Fund for more than 21 years.
Topping her list is United Technologies.
"UTX is terrific geography, all over the world," she said. "They make Otis elevators, they make Pratt & Whitney engines for planes, they make H/VAC systems...when you look at new buildings going up in Dubai or Shanghai, you know that they're Otis elevators."
Freeport McMoRan is a big commodity play.
"This is an American-based copper company," she explained. "If you wanted to re-create this company, you'd have to take $250 a share to make this company the way it is today."
She's impressed by the results just released by Nike.
"Nike did exactly what we wanted it to do," she said. "Two-thirds of their business is outside the United States, so even though the United States was slow, we saw very strong 20 to 30 percent growth outside the United States,"
She disagrees with those who think it's too late to get into oil-related companies, and she likes XTO Energy.

Sometimes I feel like a dinosaur. Or like one of those ``do you remember Dewey`` bank commercials. I recall when newspapers used hot metal and manual typewriters instead of cold type and fancy schmancy video display terminals. Those were the days when Americans boycotted lettuce and Gallo wine because of the plight of the United Farm Workers. High-tech was sci-fi. Caring was chic.
Today selfishness is de rigueur. Even yippies have turned yuppie. It`s bloody unlikely you`ll find anyone gathered around the Cruvinet discussing whether consumers should boycott A. Hormel & Co. products because of the company`s attitude toward its unions.
So why all the nostalgia? Blame it on the drought in Brazil and the hike in coffee prices that has given America the java jitters.
The last time we panicked around the coffeepot was 1977. A killer frost in Brazil drove prices to more than $4 a pound. And America responded -- with a consumer boycott.
Back then a coalition of consumer groups urged coffee drinkers to cut consumption 20 to 30 percent. Even supermarket chains advocated a boycott. It worked. By May 1977, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that Americans were drinking 17 percent less coffee than the year before. Per capita consumption dropped to 3 pounds and prices fell as well.
Boycotts were big in those days. Hoarding is big these days.
This time when the Brazilian government predicted a 43.4 percent drop in the coffee crop, South Florida grocery stores set a purchase limit of 1 pound per person. Soon the grocery shelves looked like locusts had come through.
``Hoarding is an issue that devastated the stores for the past two weeks,`` says Jack Coppinger, vice president of Pueblo International, owners of Xtra no-frills supermarkets.
Hoarding really hurts all of us. Xtra stores, for example, have sold four times the usual amount of coffee. Supermarkets, which are now paying about $4 a pound wholesale, still have stock in the warehouses at the lower prices. The more people buy, the faster the lower-priced coffee is depleted.

Saw Laura Muir in the 1500m at the Stadium last night, the crowd was fantastic.
Not sure how West Ham fans can say there is no atmosphere at the London Stadium.
Yeah I thought the atmosphere was awesome too ;-)
The stadium is a great design too

Been watching a fair bit of it. Enjoying it so far but sick of showboating cunts like Mo F. Never liked that little cunt. Some fat bitches swinging the hammer too.

I thought fair play to Gatlin to be honest. OK he did bad, but the rules say he's done his time, so he's eligible to compete. The crowd were being unduly mean I felt with the constant booing.
I like Bolt like most other people, but the constant Bolt love-fest was starting to make me feel queasy

Didn't see Jenneke as missed the hurdles. Does she still do her warm up?
This [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] shows why the Usain love-in if you look at the graph at the bottom you see Usains times against all the disqualified ones ;-)
Also it probably apt that Gatlin won as after the initial booing everyone ignored him and that guy who come second (he might as well had a red star trek top on as he was certainly the unnamed dead guy) Which if was someone else and that was their moment of being on top of the world and to injure that would not be fair on them.

You could say similar about Caster Semenya (the one who had to prove she was a woman) and her naturally raised Testosterone, she is only allowed to compete on a technicality which the IAAF is trying to close, her increased testosterone level gives her about a 2% advantage over the rest of the competition.
But then on the flip side you have Bradley Wiggins using his Asthma inhaler which is a condition that directly effects his performance.
So just because Gatlin as ADD does that mean it is ok to have stimuli in his system which gives him an advantage?
Is grey areas but with the Isaac Makwala not being allowed to race last night due to might having the Novo Virus then IAAF seem to punish at the first sniff of smoke ;-)

Bjørnstad / Darling / Rypdal / Christensen - The Sea (1995)
Norweigan pianist Ketil Bjørnstad captains us through this voyage in his simple, understated style. More muso listeners sometimes dismiss Bjørnstad as a facile composer and techincally deficient pianist, but he sounds great to me - and people don't criticise the likes of Harold Budd for only playing a few notes (or do they?). Anyway, as soon as we've left shore it's clear that we're not in for a bucolic, fairweather journey. Cellist David Darling paints an overcast, gathering sky throughout, and ECM "house drummer" Jon Christensen supplies the rain by sticking mostly to cymbals, with the occasional distant rumble of thunder. Beneath these unforgiving skies, the sea itself is only periodically calm as Terje Rypdal whips up squall after squall of choppy, rocky waves of overdriven guitar.
It's often said that this album is a tad overlong, and to be fair it is 75 minutes of music in very similar textural terrain. Helpfully, Parts I-VI are a neat 45 minutes in length, and VII-XII a compact half-hour: I've often dug this album out and just listened to half of it at a time. If you're in the mood for it though, just go the distance and stay on board for the whole trip - there's nothing quite like it. (Well, other than 'The Sea II'(1998) by the same quartet, which I haven't heard yet but is very much on my to-do list.)

Starting about two weeks ago, my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop intermittently began experiencing bootup problems where the mouse pointer begins to jump around the screen during the boot process. Sometimes the machine completes booting, but is impossible to use due to the jumping pointer. Other times the boot process just hangs. In either case, the only way to recover is to cycle power. If the same problem occurs on the restart, I interrupt the boot process by hitting F1 to get into setup (changing no settings at all), and then just proceed with the boot. This seems to cure it quite reliably.
As I mentioned, this is an intermittent problem that occurs maybe once in every 5 or 6 bootup attempts. On one occasion only, I actually got the blue screen of death. When the PC does boot properly, there are no other symptoms that I can detect-- the mouse works just fine for the entire session. I ran the Dell Crash Analysis tool, and it warns me that my America Online driver (atwpkt2.sys) may need updating. I also just cleansed the machine of the Spyaxe virus using the method outlined in your forum (thanks!), but this problem pre-dates the Spyaxe infection, so doesn't appear to be related. Right now, my virus and spyware scans show up clean, for what that's worth (McAfee Virus Scan, AOL Spyware check).
Here's my system information:
- Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop
- Windows XP Pro (SP2)
- Pentium M 1.4GHz
- Touchpad and stick pointer device
Thank you for your help!

WHEN a president lets it be known that he's halfway through a book and then invites the author to lunch to talk about what he's written - well, a watcher of the presidential scene has to prick up his ears.
The book is ``President Kennedy, Profile of Power'' and the author is Richard Reeves, a newsman I used to see from time to time when we were covering the White House.
It's heartening to learn that President Clinton finds time for serious reading, what with having to come up with programs, meeting with one group after another, and making speeches and television appearances ad infinitum.
Jimmy Carter was a marvel when it came to reading, and he liked to recommend books to others. ``My favorite book,'' he once told me, ``is `Let Us Now Praise Famous Men' by James Agee, and with photographs by Walker Evans.''
I immediately bought and read a paperback of this classic depiction of the daily life of rural farmers in the Deep South during the Great Depression.
In repayment for this favor I once sent over a book to him that I had enjoyed - never knowing whether it would find its way to him from the White House mail room.
Within three days my wife (who had joined me in this enterprise) and I had received a handwritten note from Mr. Carter, thanking us and showing by his commentary that he had finished the book.
President Kennedy was a great reader, too. He was Mr. Clinton's hero, so we can logically conclude that Clinton is giving careful thought, as he reads, to the way that young president dealt with problems, particularly with foreign affairs.
The Washington Post reviewer of the book provides this appraisal, which comes close to my own:
``Rejecting claims such as Ted Sorensen's and James Schlesinger's that Kennedy grew more wise and mature during his presidency, Reeves sharply asserts, `The Kennedy I found certainly did not know what he was doing at the beginning, and in some ways never changed.'
``According to Reeves, Kennedy had `little ideology beyond anti-Communism and faith in active, pragmatic government. Furthermore, he was willing to suspend his few convictions in order to avoid conflict with Congress or charges of being soft.' ''
My hope is that Clinton will learn from the mistakes that Kennedy made - and that Reeves carefully documents.

I was fortunate to grow up in southern Tasmania with parents who enjoyed the bush, the rivers and the sea. From about the age of three I was camping regularly in the sticks of the south-west wilderness. The coastline was always close to my heart – its sands, cliffs, blowholes and caves – and one of my favourite places was Cloudy Bay Lagoon on Bruny Island. Little did I know that by age 17 I'd be in a position to buy the land around it. I'd assumed a crystal-clear lagoon full of abalone, oysters and crayfish would be crown reserve but it was for sale as a rural block.
When I was 12 I borrowed my dad's dingy to go fishing so I could raise some pocket money through selling any fish I caught to people at Blackmans Bay and Kingston. I ended up earning $6,000 in 10 weeks, so I poached until I was old enough to get a fishing licence. I would often take my friends out with me on the boat and when I saw how blown away they were by the wildlife and scenery, including the southern hemisphere's tallest sea cliffs, I started thinking about catching people instead of fish.
In 1999 I started Bruny Island Cruises, which would eventually become Pennicott Wilderness Journeys. I personally took out 1,200 passengers that year, and made a $40,000 loss. The second year I made a bit, then the third year I was turning away more people than I could take. Today, still, 65 per cent of my passengers are Tasmanians fascinated by the environments on their doorstep. Awards for Tasmania's top tourist attraction and excellence in sustainability has kept us busy, and our newest Seafood Seduction tour is going really well. We've tapped into commercial fishing quotas and the group size is limited to 10 to ensure we're not harming the natural balance when we take our four abalone, crayfish or sea urchins.
I established the Tasmanian Coast Conservation Fund with the Parks & Wildlife Service and Wildcare in 2007, and within three years we had eradicated the feral cats responsible for killing upward of 50,000 seabirds a year on Tasman Island. Whereas my tour guests used to take photos of cats with dead birds in their mouths, they're now photographing birds that haven't been seen on Tasman for 30 years.
A few years later I started the Pennicott Foundation so I could pursue my passion for philanthropic work, with the guiding principle that not a single cent is spent on administration. We now have two foundations, which last year supported 236 projects ranging from beach clean-ups to school activity programs. I'm a believer in the idea that everyone can do a little to help, and would much rather spend my earnings on a project that could reap benefits for 10 more lifetimes than buy 'stuff'. This week we collected seven bags of rubbish from one beach with the help of local schoolchildren, which doesn't seem like much until you add it up over the year.
My wife Michaye and I were lucky to be able to bring up our children Mia, now 15, and Noah, 13, on Bruny without iPhones and the nearest neighbour about four kilometres away. I used to take the kids on the boat when I was working and vividly remember holding Mia over the side when she was just two weeks old as a dolphin came up beneath her feet and rolled on to its side. On another of my most memorable tours I freed a seal that had become trapped in a fishing net and then watched it circle the boat about five times, leaping in the air as if to say thank-you. I turned around to see half the passengers balling their eyes out. We now have 76 staff across Bruny Island, Tasman Island and Hobart, but I still get out regularly and would work for nothing just to have a couple of experiences like that a year.
In 2012 I had the idea of sailing an inflatable dingy round Australia as a way to raise awareness and funds to help eradicate polio, and when I told Michaye she just nodded "oh yes, sounds good". I pulled out a little Jacaranda atlas – Australia didn't look that big on there – and after a few drinks with my colleague Mick Souter we'd plotted a route on Google Earth. Three months later, our two 17-foot boats arrived – in hindsight they were too flat-bottomed for the journey – and we set off together with cameraman Zorro Gamarnik. There were some close calls, and the psychological challenge of keeping the team motivated on 18-hour days was intense, but I just couldn't contemplate quitting. Being bashed by waves as high as telegraph poles for 26 hours across the Gulf of Carpentaria, about 160 miles offshore, was pretty hard yakka. In the Great Australian Bight I had to tie Zorro to the backseat so we wouldn't lose him while flying fish kept hitting me in the head. When we came into Hobart 101 days later, having become the first people to circumnavigate Australia in an outboard-powered vessel, I was absolutely rooted. There were beautiful experiences on the trip too of course, especially the Kimberley, and the generosity of Australians stunned me; from a young lad on Kangaroo Island who ran down to see us so he could donate his $1.50 to the guys throwing $100 bills off the gas rigs. We raised around $300,000 and I ended up being named Tasmanian of the Year and National Geographic's Traveller of the Year.
Time off is dangerous for me because I usually hatch more work plans, but I spend all my downtime relaxing, walking, camping and snorkelling with the family. I've walked all the major tracks in Tasmania at some point, as well as the Bruny Island coastline, but my next adventure is likely to be driven by work. One of the things I want to do more on is improving the bigger picture of plastics in our oceans.

07 June 2012|
It's not everyday that you meet what I would call a true enthusiast in the scene, especially one without the common ride and add-on goodies seen at shows. Matt Lamphier is a clear example of what the heart of the tuning scene is all about. He is a young gun hailing from Deltona, Florida, USA and had his unique ride (this matte black Miata which he built) in the tuner section of Spring Break Nationals, with no need for sponsors or a crew backing him… a one man show.
Lamphier's vision for the Miata was fairly simple, take an already great factory track-tuned chassis and tweak it while adding some much-needed modern style. The 1992 Miata went down a dark path in terms of appearance despite its "cute" appeal to many in way of a custom flat black chalkboard paint job and yes, you can actually write on it! The front end received a GYR lip, LED switchback turn signals, HELLA headlights, a set of Krypton 6,000k HIDs while the rear got smoked taillights with an LED light conversion.
The evil stance of this once mild-mannered coupe is thanks in part to a set of Raceland coilovers. Further suspension enhancements to tighten up this bad boy came in way of Energy suspension bushings and a pair of strut bars front and rear from Cusco.
Under the chalkboard painted hood, Matt cleaned up the engine bay and again only tweaked what needed to be done. The factory 4-cylinder engine produced plenty power, but lacked some breathing. Lamphier installed a MAF adapter intake system, OBX headers and 55mm Koyorad radiator. The bread and butter of the engine sits just under consisting of a custom 2.25-inch catback exhaust system that feeds into a titanium coloured turndown muffler, similar to the JDM-trend with top tuners.
Further tweaks for this dark pony included the deletion of the air condition system and power steering. Although most would consider Lamphier to be mad in the head, his reasoning is purely from an enthusiast point of view – if it's heavy, it's out!
Inside the cockpit, Lamphier faces a MOMO steering wheel and an NRG short shifter and shit knob combo. Saving his head from turning into a fruit bowl in case of a roll over, Lamphier installed a Harddog Version 1 rollbar system.
Despite what one might think, the chalkboard paint is an awesome idea! One day you can have something on your car, the next something else and despite what you might think, it truly is a matte finish making anything look sinister… and with good reason. Checked flag anyone?
The rollers of choice for the Miata are a set of 15-inch Stance Mindset wheels sized at 8-inches all around and finished in brushed gold. A set of Falken 512 tires sized at 195/50/15 provide the gripping action needed for this best selling sport coupe. Tucked neatly under the front wheels are Brembo rotors while a set of OEM rotors fit the back and Hawk pads all around.
So, what's the best part about this Miata? How about the fact that it was all built by Matt Lamphier. At times, it is refreshing to see that no sponsors or endless budget assisted in making an enthusiast's dream come true, instead… lots of elbow grease and persistence. As Matt puts it, "Thank you to everyone who has taken anytime in appreciating my hard work and my car!" – No Matt, thank you for building it!

Nov.14 (GMM) F1 has hit the ball into the court of the race organisers, after a spate of violent incidents surrounding the Brazilian grand prix.
Multiple teams suffered armed or violent robbery attempts during the race weekend as they travelled from Interlagos to hotels.
And now Pirelli has called off a planned post-race tyre test with McLaren, after a van containing staff of the F1 supplier became the latest victim of the notorious Sao Paulo crime.
The situation has triggered speculation F1 might not return to Interlagos, amid rumours Rio de Janeiro or Florianopolis might be alternative grand prix venues.
F1 owner Liberty Media has been late to officially respond to the Sao Paulo violence, but a spokesperson now insists that disappointment "is not a strong enough word".
The sport is putting the ball in race organisers' court, making clear it requires a strong response.
"It is not our responsibility," the spokesperson insisted.
"We are just the commercial rights holder. We sell those rights to the local promoter and security within the circuit is their responsibility.
"We have our own security team that travels with us and we are actively involved, but we cannot be experts in every city we go to.
"We have a year between now and the next race to get it sorted, and we would be extremely disappointed if things have not been looked at," the spokesperson added.

Nicola Barker is currently a principal trainer at PPD within the global biostatistics and programming department (B&P). She began her career in 2006 as an associate statistician at PPD, and progressed up the career ladder to biostatistics team leader. Earlier this year, she transferred into the global training team within biostatistics and programing.
Interviewer: What are your responsibilities within B&P as a principal trainer?
Nicola: I plan for, prepare and give training to associates joining PPD at the graduate level. Working with subject matter experts or SMEs, we develop modules to cover key areas and then deliver the training globally, scheduling the training to ensure we cater to associates in different time zones.
I have been involved with the global team training modules. I was one of the authors and presenters for module one. I manage the WebEx meetings and have been working on the materials for our internal BioWiki, which includes recordings of the training sessions. This has been a great opportunity for me to develop my skills in producing training materials.
These are two of the many different areas I am now involved with.
Interviewer: What does a typical day look like for you?
Nicola: A typical day involves catching up on any emails that have arrived overnight and preparing myself for the day ahead. I am free to manage and plan my own time and prioritize my workload.
I tend to have a couple of hours giving associate training via phone with screen share and video. After the training, I take time to absorb what worked and what didn't, making notes in order to improve plans, materials or my own skills. I'll then spend a few hours looking at the materials for the next day, making sure I know which topics I want to emphasize and demonstrate.
Usually I have other meetings throughout the day, each with some prep and follow-up. I may have some recordings to edit or post, BioWiki updates to make, training materials to develop or review, emails to address, questions from associates and also my own professional development, such as the PPD Professional Excellence Program for Training Professionals.
Interviewer: How has your career developed since joining PPD?
Nicola: I have always been ambitious and keen to progress up the career ladder. I started at PPD in 2006 as an associate statistician and reached biostats team leader in 2014. I undertook numerous lead statistician and biostatistics project lead roles during that time, and also took online management responsibilities.
In November 2015 I received the opportunity to travel to the Bengaluru office and provide training there. This opportunity emphasized that training was something I wanted to do more of. In April 2016 I moved into the role of principal trainer and have not looked back since!
Interviewer: What do you enjoy the most about being a principal trainer?
Nicola: I enjoy having the time to work on those things that we all know need to be done, but do not have the time to do when working on projects. It is so important when working globally to have a consistent understanding of everything we do. There is a huge amount of material out there, and it is great to be a part of pulling it all together, improving it and making it available to all.
I have always been a "people person" and enjoy working with others. In this role I love that every day I have opportunities to work with people at all levels in all regions.
Interviewer: Why do you enjoy working for PPD?
Nicola: My 10-year anniversary at PPD is coming soon and I am very happy here. I feel lucky to work in a role which I find enjoyable and fulfilling, where I feel I can make a difference while building relationships with colleagues around the world.
Interviewer: What advice would you give to someone interested in being a principal trainer at PPD?
Nicola: Go for it! You will not regret it. It is an excellent opportunity to use all your skills and experience in a different way, knowing that you are contributing towards the development of others.

There are more than 20 different downtown Ann Arbor Condo communities and each offers a different style and experience for a variety of buyers. Values have decreased over the last few years, but like Ann Arbor homes, prices seem to be increasing. 2009 was the lowest year for number of units sold, average sales price, and price per square foot, however, in 2010 we saw an increase of 71% in number of units sold, an increase of 11% in average sales price, and an increase of 5% in average price per square foot. So far in 2011, 15 condos have sold with an average sales price of $294,469 and average price per square foot of $229.35. The highest selling condo price was $540,000, $261.88/square foot, for an Ashley Mews brownstone with 2466 total square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2.1 baths. The lowest priced unit that has sold was a studio-style Riverhouse condo that closed for $67,000, $146.29/square foot, and had 458 square feet with 1 full bath.
Many condominium owners are waiting for values to fully recover and are deciding to rent out their units instead of selling. In the graph above, you will see that the number of units rented has steadily increased since 2006 and the average rental price has decreased. So far this year, 16 units have rented with an average price of $1563.
Here at The Bouma Group, we will be keeping a close eye on the downtown condo market as it continues to recover. Check back here frequently for Ann Arbor condo market updates and well as instant listing and sold information for all Ann Arbor condominium communities. And for Ann Arbor Subdivision information, be sure to visit the Subdivision Hotline!
