The very foundation of our country is under attack. While most Americans are concerned with American Idol and the Lefties latest attempt to get conservative voices out of the public airwaves, the foundation of our country is being whittled away. This morning, Glenn Beck read pieces of this article on the air and it struck right to my heart. Read it for yourself - it's chilling...
WallBuilders - Issues and Articles - America's Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President
I'm in the middle of a Beth Moore Bible Study about King David which is absolutely incredible. Last night's class was how to get a "head up over your enemies" and the good fight against evil. The underlying message was Wake Up, Look Up, Stand Up and Dress Up (put on the armor of God). The message was even more appropriate than Beth Moore could have realized.
I don't believe in coincidences anymore. Things happen for a reason - God's reason. We may not know why or understand it, but there is a purpose for everything in our lives. There is no "coincidence" in the timing of my Bible study lesson and the article from David Barton. I have been silent and not blogging for a while because I just feel so overwhelmed with all that is going on in our country. I also have been working at my real job and just too tired to write. I have been praying for God to show me a direction for my life not that all the crisis have past. So I will be writing much more and blogging, tweeting, etc.
Read the article and come back often for more insights and opinions. My heart weeps for the state of my country and I fear for the future for my children and grandchildren. I may just have a "little blog" with not many readers but I can't be silent any longer.

As Valentine's Day approaches this year, our country is in the midst of a cultural watershed moment. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a clear sense of direction about where to go from here and how to bring about lasting change. I am referring to the #MeToo movement and all of the revelations of sexual immorality and depravity at high-levels in the government, sports and entertainment industries that first broke with the Harvey Weinstein story in the New York Times last October.
Treat the Problem
All of this has fueled talk about a time of reckoning and the ushering in of new laws and policies. As long as we seek to change laws and policies the problem will never be solved. Our current cultural tumult is a disease that reaches much deeper than our laws. It is rooted in the hearts and souls of every person caught up in its grasp. Slogans and laws will not usher in any lasting change for the same reason that a person who says he feels fine while he has a splitting headache is in pain despite his assertion to the contrary. Mere words in the latter case and laws in the former simply don't go deep enough to treat the problem. What will go deep enough? I will seek to give a summary answer below.
Hugh Hefner- Sexual Fantasies
Hugh Hefner died on September 27, 2017. The news of his death brought on instantaneous and near-universal praise from virtually every corner of our culture. Large numbers of people from entertainers, to former and current models for Playboy magazine and sports players, showered the late Hefner in accolades, words of praise and admiration, and well wishes for his 'career' and 'work.' This is a man who made his living convincing young (and in most cases vulnerable) women take off their clothes to feed the sexual fantasies of millions of men while these same women remained at the beck and call of Hefner's own sexual fantasies all in the name of 'liberation' and 'class.' As he says in the previous link, his whole project is built on providing an alternative to traditional sexual morality and showing how oppressive and unnatural monogamy and saving oneself for marriage are. And to this end, he published countless images of naked women on countless pages for the viewing pleasure of millions of men. He also built a mansion where hordes of scantily clad women were living on his dime and completely subject to his manipulation and sexual whims.
The Harvey Weinstein Scandal
Fast forward a couple weeks and the Harvey Weinstein scandal breaks in the New York Times. Appalling details of his degeneracy and manipulation of young women trying to make it in the film industry came to the fore nationally. He was near-universally scorned by everyone, celebrity and average Joe alike and for good reason. Such depraved acts of violence, manipulation, and exploitation should be met with scorn and disdain both for the sake of justice and to give a cultural example that such actions will not be tolerated and will be punished accordingly. There are now several ongoing legal investigations into Weinstein's actions. However, it seems that the root of the problem has not been dealt a fatal blow. Even in the aftermath of the Weinstein scandal and all of the other scandals that have come to light since, do we really think we have seen the end of sexual depravity on the part of men towards women? Are we even justified in saying that perhaps the tide has been stemmed? Unfortunately, I don't think so. Two general observations lead me to this position.
Allegations of Sexual Assault on Capitol Hill
First, consider Speaker Paul Ryan's response to the allegations of sexual assault on Capitol Hill. The House and Senate were mandated to attend sexual harassment training. It is an 'important step' as the Congressman says, but will it have any lasting impact? To ask the question, it seems, is to answer it. Would training have stopped Harvey Weinstein or any other perverted individual from committing their horrible crimes? Now, such a measure is probably not intended as a silver bullet to solve the issue. But in the absence of any other visible and rigorous actions taken, it seems that mandated harassment training is at least being treated as if it is a good enough response.
Second, notice the juxtaposition of the two cases with which this column began—the celebration of Hugh Hefner's life after his death and the coming to light of Weinstein's wicked deeds. I have yet to hear or see in the mass media any condemnation of Hugh Hefner and his lifestyle in light of the #MeToo movement. Of course, many would say that all of his sexual acts (or at least the ones we know of) were consensual; he wasn't wicked like Harvey Weinstein. Perhaps that is the case, but does publishing a monthly magazine filled with pictures of naked women along with salacious articles for decades not have an effect on our cultural psyche? Is it not reasonable to say that the Playboy 'philosophy', as Hefner called it, which promoted open marriages, premarital intercourse, and the voracious digestion of lewd images of women by countless men, has trained us as a society to look upon women as centers for gratification and not much else? How can we rightly condemn Weinstein and all sexual abusers on one hand, but then on the other commend a man and a 'philosophy' which prospered on the backs of manipulated and exploited women, all the while teaching men to let their sexual desires be fulfilled unchecked by any 'puritanical' considerations?
Culturally Divided Against Ourselves
Our Lord said that a house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:22-25). We are, at present, culturally divided against ourselves. The situation is most grave because it risks destroying progress against a terrible scourge on our culture that is borne primarily by our friends, daughters, wives, and mothers. As long as our responses to such actions are changes of policy/law and harassment training, coupled with a lack of condemnation of the causes of a cultural ethos that promotes the objectification of women and unchecked sexual desire and satisfaction, we will never see progress. Clearly, it took time for us to get to this point of depravity culturally and it will take time to get better. So, what will help us make progress in the right direction?
Rout Out the Causes
We must rout out the causes of sexual depravity in order to make progress. As Our Lord says, "If your right eye is the occasion of sin, pluck it out and cast it aside…" (Matthew 5:29-30). First, we must endeavor to remove from our culture all of the gratuitous displays of sexually explicit content. This is not a new Puritanism but realism. Do we really need topless women or women in very tight and revealing clothing to sell hamburgers, cars, web domains, etc.? You might say that such things are not the same as sexual assault. You would be right, but we human beings are creatures of habit and impression. How do you think seeing such ubiquitous images of women will frame the minds of young men and women in our culture? They send a repeated message to men that women should always be sexually available and are objects of gratification. And they send messages to our young women that tell them to put all of their effort and emphasis on how they look so as to attract the attention of men.
Young Men Must be Taught
Secondly, young men must be taught how to live and interact with women. St. Paul says that a man should treat and look upon his wife as his own body. It is unheard of that a man should bear ill will towards his body, and so too with man and woman (Ephesians 5: 25-28). The reason the ethos promoted by Playboy is so insidiously harmful is because it teaches men, through repeated exposure to its content, to treat women wholly as another as one would treat any object they seek to get something out of. Men must realize that every woman they look upon is someone's daughter and, in some cases, someone's wife. That is to say, they should not just see an object but a person who is beloved and who is properly loved and adored in the context of a mutual human relationship. Only when we, as a culture, see women as partners to be loved and respected will we begin to break the tyranny of sexual depravity that has taken hold of so many parts of our society.
Let's Open Our Hearts To Truth
As Joel says, "Rend your hearts, not your garments" (Joel 2:13). It is only when we open our hearts to the truth of the humanity and dignity of our fellow sisters that we as a culture will hold them up as we should. Once we combat this evil not just with a change of law but with a change of soul—a change that does away with the rending of clothes off of our sisters and ushers in the rending of the scales from our eyes and the corrosion from our hearts—will we be able to love and adore our sisters in the proper way. Let us make that our intention this Valentine's day and work to change our young men and our cultural ethos to treat women with the respect and dignity they all deserve.

In the days since head coach Dwane Casey was surprisingly fired by the Toronto Raptors despite being voted as Coach of the Year by his peers, many NBA fans took to social media to jokingly "accuse" Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James of getting the opposing coach sacked by means of his postseason heroics. Those heroics most notably included a buzzer-beating shot that helped the Cavs beat the Raptors, 105-103, in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. However, Raptors owner Masai Ujiri reportedly saw things in a far more serious light, with his frustration over Casey's lack of postseason success allegedly hitting critical mass after that play, where the Raptors weren't able to double-team James and effectively defend him as he hit the game-winning basket.
Citing multiple unnamed sources, Canadian publication Sportsnet wrote that Ujiri was quickly losing patience with Casey's "inability to transfer regular season success" to the playoffs, as the Raptors lost all four games to the Cavaliers in their recently concluded series. This included a Game 1 overtime loss at home, where Casey was reportedly criticized for going big against the smaller, quicker Cavs, and their subsequent Game 2 defeat, where the Raptors lost their one-point halftime lead, as James and Kevin Love combined to give Cleveland an 18-point win with a strong second half.
Game 3 was decided by only two points, and while Toronto was able to rally back from a 14-point third quarter deficit in the fourth, Sportsnet noted that the Raptors ultimately fell apart in the final minute. This included blowing a good scoring opportunity after a timeout, and failing to double-team LeBron James in the last few seconds and anticipate that the Cavaliers would come out of their last timeout and inbound under their own basket.
Raptors President Masai Ujiri: Firing Dwane Casey "Hardest Thing I've Done in My Life" https://t.co/jnj4GOpwL0 https://t.co/jnj4GOpwL0— The Basketball Dunk (@TBBD01) May 12, 2018
According to Sportsnet, it was that final play that infuriated the intense Ujiri, who reportedly "stormed" into the Raptors' dressing room at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, and angrily dressed down Casey for his failure to call the right play at crunchtime.
"Observers noted that the intensity was more than typical for Ujiri, who can run hot at the best of times," wrote Sportsnet.
Beyond Dwane Casey's lack of postseason success and his perceived inability to help his team deliver when it mattered the most, Sportsnet wrote that Raptors management found him "lacking" in three key areas, including the ability to make the right situational adjustments in games, his tendency to play it safe in terms of his offensive play-calling, and his lack of intensity when it came to pushing All-Star guards Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan "out of their comfort zones."
As previously reported by USA Today, Masai Ujiri admitted on Friday afternoon, shortly after Dwane Casey was fired, that letting go of the 61-year-old head coach after the Raptors' 4-0 loss to the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference semifinals was the "hardest thing" he's ever done in his life. The decision came despite Toronto having compiled a franchise record of 59 wins in the regular season, with Casey also being the longest-tenured and winningest coach in Raptors history.

Object history note
Zandra Rhodes considers the Lily prints to be the best of her work, and particularly significant. It was while developing the Lily textiles that she developed the method of reversing the silkscreen to produce a mirror image of the print and create symmetrical patterns. This went on to influence many of her future significant prints, such as 'Lace Mountain', 'Cactus Volcano' and 'Scribble Turnaround'. The Lily prints also represent the introduction of handwriting and calligraphy into her textile designs. Another point of significance for Zandra is that the Lily dresses were the first dresses that she started applying beading to, which would become a future trademark.
This particular dress is a version of Butterfly No 66/cat no 73/44 as depicted in Rhodes' autobiography (1984), although our dress is cream rather than pink. (The Gallery of Costume at Manchester own a version in the same colourway as in the book).

August 17, 2017 – How Ozubulu Catholic Church Massacre Exposed The Disturbing Trend In Nigerian Churches
By Bisi Adeleye Fayemi
St Patrick's Catholic Church in Ozubulu community, Anambra State was the scene of an unspeakable tragedy on Sunday August 6 2017 .
Just as the early morning mass was about to start the 'Prayer of the faithful', the service was brought to a halt by an attack from gunmen which left 12 worshippers dead and several more wounded. Since then, a number of accounts, both official and hearsay have emerged. There have also been some 'investigations' by people familiar with the Ozubulu community and its recent challenges.
The narrative that has emerged so far is that the tragedy that took place was instigated by two citizens of Ozubulu who live outside of the country. The tale is one straight out of a Nollywood movie. It is a story about drugs, money, deadly violence, turf, betrayal and power. There is even an 'exotic' location thrown in – South Africa. There is a full cast of characters in the story with lead actors, supporting actors, side-kicks, directors and producers, with a Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and no end to the production in sight.
One of the many concerns about the Ozubulu tragedy is the desecration of the sanctity of a place of worship. A church is meant to be a sanctuary, a sacred place where you are safe in the hands of God. For the period of time you are there, you are meant to lay all your worldly worries at the feet of God Almighty. As you step out of the church after the service, you are expected to be full of resolve, refreshed and recommitted to doing God's work.
A church is holy ground and one of the worst things that you could do as a human being is bring blood into the house of God. The same inviolable principle applies to places of worship in other faiths. So why was a holy place drenched in blood at Ozubulu?
I believe that one of the main reasons why this happened is because the church is no longer considered a holy space, a place immune from violation and safe from desecration. A church is now seen as nothing special, no different from a social club, sporting ground, owambe party, political rally or gathering of shareholders attending an Annual General Meeting.
A lot has been said and written in Nigeria about the worrying trends in our churches and the huge gap that exists between the elites who own and run the churches, particularly the Pentecostal ones, and the majority of their congregation who are poor but still manage to subsidise the lifestyles of the church leaders. The older orthodox churches have decided to join in on the action; after all, the business of organized religion relies on a very straightforward 'bums on seats' strategy. More souls won equals more money to sustain the ministry and spread the word.
Every business has to aim for success, whether it is faith based or secular. What is deeply troubling is the lack of caution and of discernment that has created a level operational field for all manner of scoundrels to literally take over the house of God.
It is not possible for recipients of charitable donations to screen every penny to determine the 'cleanliness' of its source just as the Catholic Bishop of Nnewi Diocese stated in response to questions about the mysterious nature of the benefactors. However, in light of the recent disturbing trends happening in places of worship, some circumspection is called for in the way and manner in which donations are solicited. Ozubulu is a small community. It is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone's business. The people there know what their children at home and abroad are up to. Even if they choose to look the other way, they know. And this includes the clergy.
Edifices such as churches and cathedrals used to be built over many years, with the clergy and community toiling together to finish the project. Now it seems there is a competition to see how many rich people can build houses for God in their community.
There is also another trend with the less affluent sector of the church. Last week there was a list that was being circulated online, allegedly from True Vine Power House given to a couple who wanted to get married in the church. The list included specific fees for the officiating ministers, food for the clergy and church workers and – don't laugh – a suit for the Pastor and his wife! It is customary to give officiating ministers a cash gift, but it is supposed to be voluntary and not mandatory.
Providing refreshments is also usually done, but this list was clear about the brand preferences of the church – they wanted Five Alive juice and canned Maltina. The pastor of this church does not have the kind of empire that can enable him buy a private jet. So perhaps we should not begrudge him a new suit every week, depending on how many weddings he conducts. This is what the house of God has been reduced to. A place where people have to pay for services which should be rendered as part of God's work, a place where modest contributions within the means of parishioners is not enough, a place where congregants are coerced or manipulated into parting with huge sums of money to sustain a lifestyle they do not live themselves.
A place where dubious characters make the largest donations and receive the highest honours, over and above the poor and lowly who toil day and night. This is why the church has become just like any other site of social engagement and interaction. And this is why gunmen had the audacity and heartlessness to barge in to the house of God and open fire on defenceless worshippers.
There was a protest at the Great Faith Ministries International Church in Detroit, Michigan in September 2016, led by a group called New Era Detroit. They were protesting the lack of accountability of wealthy black pastors who own luxurious homes and drive Rolls Royces, yet they have their churches in some of the poorest communities in the country. To add insult to injury, they had the audacity to ask for U$1,000 donations at a church service.
If you did not have that much you could give U$300 and there was an ATM machine if you needed cash! This was too much for some of the congregants so there was a protest right there in the church. We have a few of those churches around here too, but we have not heard any loud protests against brazen hustling for church donations. When we ask what happened to the Gospel according to Mathew 6.3, 'But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth', we are reminded these are different times. Giving anonymously does not translate into Knighthoods in the church, votes at elections or coveted chieftaincy titles.
Another thing that I found alarming, reading all the commentaries on the Ozubulu incident, is that most of the analysis focused on the emerging sociology of the Igbo culture where money has become the god that people worship. Any drop-out who manages to make a fortune from any kind of business is received with open arms and the money they throw around is respected with no questions asked. I believe this pathologising of Igbo people and their culture (either by themselves or others) has to stop. The blind worship of money is not unique to the Igbo community.
Criminal enterprise is an equal opportunity employer, and even though it might use an ethnic division of labour every now and then, criminals are to be found all across the country – kidnappers, armed robbers, terrorists, ritual killers, fraudsters, looters of treasuries, riggers of elections, sexual predators, drug barons, no community has a monopoly over criminal activity.
This is not an Igbo problem; it is not even a uniquely Nigerian one. We all have a role to play and we all have questions to answer when something like this happens. Let the true servants of God step up. Let our security agencies do their job without fear or favour. The devil will always show up wearing Prada and bearing irresistible gifts. We only make it easier when we allow him a customized seat in our places of worship.

A rain jacket that keeps you dry when the skies let loose is likely the first piece of performance outdoor equipment many outdoor enthusiasts ever purchase. The primary reason is a waterproof shell is among the most important pieces of gear for comfort and safety when a storm rolls in or the wind starts to howl. The models we reviewed in our Rain Jacket Review span affordable rain protection for day hikes and general around-town use, to ultralight rain protection for climbing, long-distance backpacking and trail running. Whether you are searching for your first jacket, a modern replacement for an old favorite, or an ultralight model to add to your quiver, you're in the right place.
Construction 101: 2, 2.5, and 3-layer Fabrics
Nearly every manufacturer clearly lists how many layers their jacket is constructed with, but if you're like a lot of people, you've likely wondered what does that even mean? Are more layers better? Worse? What are the pros and cons of each and most importantly, how should this affect what products you consider?
Most rain shell fabrics use a 2, 2.5, and 3-layer construction, even though nearly all of them only look like a single layer when you hold them at the store. This is because these layers are tightly-sandwiched and laminated together. Whether it's a 2, 2.5, or 3-layer fabric, these designs share most of their construction qualities, with only a small difference generally presenting on the inside facing side of the garment. All three styles feature an outer shell fabric, commonly referred to as a face fabric, which is coated with a chemical Durable Water Repellent (AKA: DWR, more on this below) finish to help keep the outer layer from absorbing water.
Then the second, or middle layer is the actual waterproof layer, whether that be eVent, Gore-Tex, another proprietary membrane generally made of polyester or nylon, or a coated fabric. Universally, the waterproof layer gets placed beneath the outermost layer, which again is termed the face fabric layer. To be clear, you do not see the actual waterproof layer from the outside. The third and innermost layer is where the differences in terminology lay.
3-Layer Fabrics
As we mentioned above, 3-layer fabrics feature an external DWR treated face fabric - a waterproof breathable membrane in the middle (that could be any of the types listed above) and a super thin polyurethane (PU) film or other similar backing on the inside of the product. The goal of the third layer is to keep sweat and oils from clogging the microscopic holes in waterproof-breathable layer, which reduces breathability and will likely make the user feel wet from sweat that they might think is coming from the outside.
The advantage of three-layer fabrics is they are typically the most durable overall because of the innermost layer actually protects the pores in the waterproof membrane from clogging (at least for longer), thus maintaining better breathability between washings. The disadvantage is three-layer pieces is they are not always as breathable and are often slightly heavier than many of their 2.5 layer counterparts.
2.5 Layer Fabrics
Outerwear that features a 2.5 layer construction looks similar to those that feature a three-layer design (with the exception that they may feel slightly lighter and more subtle). Jackets that feature a 2.5 layer construction still have the same outermost layer (the face fabric) that has been treated with DWR, minimizing how much water is absorbed in this layer, encouraging it to be off and helping to protect the waterproof layer. There is the same "middle" waterproof fabric that just in the cases of three-layer materials can be anything from an ePTFE membrane to a coated piece of nylon. Lastly, on the inside, there is an exceptionally thin polyurethane laminate or other coatings that are placed on the inside of the garment to help protect this layer from sweat, grime, or other oils that could clog the pores. This layer is often "painted on," which is why it's considered a half layer (yes the painted on layer is the half-layer), even if it covers all of the inside surface area. It's just much thinner than the innermost layer featured on most 3-layer garments.
Jackets that feature a 2.5 layer construction offer similar breathability to 3-layer jackets, though they may occasionally feel marginally clammier, depending on their innermost lining fabric. Why? Because the innermost layer doesn't do quite as good of a job at "absorbing" and transferring sweat compared to the innermost lining fabric featured on most three-layer models. 2.5-layer jackets are typically slightly lighter and more subtle but often are not quite as durable (and must be cleaned more frequently to maintain a similar level of breathability). It is worth noting that over the past few years we have seen the most improvement of 2.5 layer jackets; this portion of the market has grown the most, and one of the aspects we've seen the greatest improvements on is how they feel less clammy.
2 Layer Fabrics
These fabrics have the same DWR face fabric bonded to a waterproof-breathable layer with a loose liner hanging on the inside that typically meshes; this works to help protect the membrane or coated material. These jackets are less expensive and more moderately priced; they breathe well but are heavier, bulkier, and not ideal for active outdoor users. In the outdoor world, there are very few 2-layer models on the market because of these disadvantages. However, prior to the 2.5-layer revolution just over a decade ago, around half the rain shells on the market were 2-layer.
A small exception to the rules listed above is a handful of manufacturers (most notable Arc'teryx in models that use Gore-Tex Paclite Plus) refer to this fabric as a 2-layer fabric despite not having any mesh and painting on the half layer similar to most 2.5 layer jackets. What will come of this new wave of outdoor gear jargon? We will be sure to keep you in the loop so stay tuned but essentially it what manufacturers have referred to as a 2.5-layer model for the last 6-8 years.
Water Proof Membrane types
ePTFE Fabrics:
Gore-Tex is an ePTFE waterproof-breathable fabric that is the oldest and most widely know and has become somewhat of the Kleenex of the waterproof-breathable fabrics world. On a very basic level, Gore-Tex is a polytetrafluoroethylene (or ePTFE for short) membrane stretched out to an extremely specific dimension. At this specific dimension, water vapor can escape, but liquid water cannot enter, due to both the sizes of the pores (which are 20,000 smaller than a water droplet), as well as the material's extremely low surface tension, which cannot absorb liquid water without tremendous pressure. Kinda cool right?
Polytetrafluoroethylene is a huge word, but you might have heard it by its slightly better-known name from DuPont brand: Teflon. W.L. Gore is always trying to improve their product and understands the value in the market place that Gore-Tex has. They also want to do their best to maintain that good reputation and to better do so, the company has strict rules and restrictions for companies that want to use their product. For example, they set rules on face fabrics, interior fabrics, zippers, and in some cases, application to help maintain their reputation of "Guaranteed to Keep You Dry."
Gore-Tex with Paclite technology now slowly becoming Gore-Tex PacLite Plus is also formerly known as Gore-Tex Paclite and is a 2.5 layer fabric with a normal Gore-Tex membrane but a proprietary super-thin half layer that completely covers the inside. Gore keeps exact specifications pretty locked up, but it more or less has the same properties as most 2.5 layer models (being lighter, more subtle, and slightly more breathable) but uses Gore-Tex as its waterproof membrane. As we mentioned above, Gore-Tex PacLite Plus is referred to as a 2-layer fabric despite an inner "painted on" layer (more on this above). We speculate Gore did this to separate it more from previous models which had a super thin but physical .5 innermost layer.
eVent is very similar in design to Gore-Tex in that it is also an ePTFE based material. It was originally designed for industrial air filters by a company owned by General Electric before the company discovered it would make a fantastic waterproof breathable textile. Similar to Gore-Tex, eVent uses an external face fabric with a very similar polytetrafluoroethylene membrane. Where the big difference is in the inner-most layer: instead of using a solid material like Gore-tex (which uses a hydrophobic polyurethane (PU) film on the inside), eVent uses a secret propitiatory coating that protects the individual fibers without clogging the pores. The result is a more breathable ePTFE than Gore-Tex, yet a product that needs to be washed more frequently to maintain better breathability.
Polyester, Polyurethane, or PU Films
Higher end versions of many of the new wave of PU fabrics are quickly catching up to ePTFE membranes like Gore-Tex and eVent in performance while often offering other unique advantages of their own. In these garments, the PU is the laminate that acts as the waterproof layer sandwiched between the face fabric and the innermost layer. If the PU layer is waterproof, why bother to add the ePTFE layer, you might ask? It's because when laminated to an ePTFE layer, it can be exceptionally thin; without it, it must be thicker to achieve the desired waterproof properties.
Three of the most significant advantages to garments featuring fabric that relies on PU for its waterproofing is that they tend to be lighter, have the potential to be more breathable, and can be constructed with FAR more stretchiness. Jackets and other outerwear featuring Gore-Tex or eVent are much harder to make stretchy; simply put, even the stretchiest ePTFE fabric is nowhere near as stretchy as the stretchier PU or polyester-based options.
Coated Fabrics
Coated fabrics are often used on price-pointed models and are nearly always less breathable and are far less long-lasting than the above-listed materials. It's worth repeating that even a coated waterproof and breathable fabric still gets sandwiched inside an exterior fabric and interior fabric and can be used in outdoor garments using a 2, 2.5, or 3 layer construction methods. To be clear, you could have a bomber 3-layer shell jacket that still uses a coated membrane sandwiched inside two other layers that form the backbone of that garments weather resistance. Coated fabrics like PU laminates can be made with stretchy textiles, allowing garments to have more range of motion.
Durable Water Repellent (DWR)
Durable Water Repellent (DWR) refers exclusively to the chemical treatment that has been applied to the exterior fabric (not the membrane or coated waterproof fabric on the inside) and its performance and job are in resisting and beading up water. The goal of DWR is to help keep the external face fabric from becoming saturated which negatively effects breathability and gives the user a sensation of dampness in the area as a result of reduced breathability. All waterproof fabrics feature a DWR but some level of DWR is also commonly seen on most water resistant textiles which can anything from insulated jackets, wind shirts, or softshell pieces. Most companies use fluorocarbons or fluoropolymer chemicals that are applied and then subsequently bond to the outside of the exterior fabric for DWR.
What is Waterproof?
An easy answer would be "fabric that can't let any water through"; however, the problem is water can have a variable amount of force behind it that directly effects the imperviousness of a given material. For example, even concrete can be cut by highly pressurized water, but despite this, most people still, consider concrete a waterproof material. Most rain generates around 2-3 PSI (PSI = pounds per square inch) of force. Rain in a severe storm (with 80+ mph winds found in a hurricane) can produce up to 10 PSI.
A manufacturer calculated that a 180-pound person creates around eight psi sitting on the wet ground and 16 psi while kneeling. Surprisingly, in the outdoor recreation industry, there is no official standard. However, the US Military requires that fabric must be able to resist 25 PSI (or 16,700mm) to be considered waterproof; and currently, most manufacturers have used just that. What do those numbers look like? Even to simply generate 3 PSI? Imagine that a one-inch by one-inch box would have to be over seven feet high and filled with water while placed on a given fabric; this would generate 3 PSI.
Types of Waterproof Jackets
Here at OutdoorGearLab, we divide waterproof/breathable shell jackets into two categories: Rain Jackets and Hardshells. At the most basic level, price and fabric construction distinguish these two categories from one another. Jackets generally cost about $90-$300+ and typically feature 2-2.5 layer construction, while hard shells will set you back $350-$800+ and typically feature three layers. Rain shells will work for downhill skiing but are typically a little more three-season focused being lighter and excelling at hiking, backpacking, and summertime mountaineering.
Hardshells are typically more feature rich and offer greater durability and as a result, are heavier and less packable. Hardshells are better for activities where durability is more of a factor like downhill skiing or snowboarding. They will obviously still work for summertime applications; they are just a little overkill.
Similar to waterproof ratings, breathability has a scale to determine its effectiveness. However, unlike waterproof ratings where the results of a PSI water test are pretty cut and dry, breathability ratings couldn't be more different. It's not that the tests that prove how much moisture can pass through a given fabric are useless, but there are FAR more outside factors that influence the performance of the breathability of a given fabric such as the temperature, humidity, and pressure. These factors also make the tests super unapplicable to real-world use. To make matters even harder there are no standardized tests from brand to brand; while we enjoy seeing the information and reading about the newest materials, we do look at it with this in mind and with a lens of skepticism.
Breathability and Layering Approprately
It's important to remember that every jacket has a maximum limit on how much moisture can physically pass through it. Thus when you're working aerobically, you'll want to do your best to make sure that you're wearing the minimal amount of layers you can getaway. We've all soaked a synthetic or wool t-shirt while working hard or hiking uphill and a rain shell isn't really any different.
Air Permeable Materials
Air-permeable is a technical term and a hip new buzzword in the outdoor industry. Air-permeable refers to a fabric's ability to be constantly letting air and subsequently moisture pass through it all of the time, regardless of pressure and temperature differences. This also means that these garments aren't technically windproof. Not that they feel like a cotton t-shirt on a windy day, but you will get chilled quicker with an air-permeable model than a non-air permeable one.
A common misconception about air-permeable fabrics is that just because they are air permeable doesn't necessarily mean that more moisture can pass through versus a non-air permeable model; it just depends on the fabrics. For example, there are a number of air-permeable models that aren't as breathable as non-air-permeable ones like eVent and Gore-Tex.
What this does mean is air permeable models don't require the same heat build-up as non-air permeable models, and they continue to breathe even after their user has cooled off (but might still be wet on the inside). In general, a lot of the fabrics that are using air-permeable materials tend to be among the most breathable ones, especially the higher-end ones. However, there are several more price-pointed models that are air permeable but are not as breathable as classic ePTFE likes eVent and Gore-Tex. Three models in our review that use air-permeable fabric are the Rab Kinetic Plus and Outdoor Research Interstellar.
Ultralight Jackets
Ultralight models are minimally featured bare-bones jackets that are designed to be as light as possible. These models skip classic features like lower hand pockets, hood adjustments, and most ventilation features. They excel at activities where saving weight, and a minimal packed volume is of the utmost importance. These models are best suited for dry pursuits in cool to cold weather or shorter spats of drizzle and to guard against afternoon thunderstorms. The ultralightweight and small packed-size makes these perfect just-in-case storm protection that you can toss in your pack, clip to your harness or stash, in your running vest. The ultralight models we tested were the Outdoor Research Helium II (6.5 oz) and the Black Diamond Fineline (7.5). Also of note, both of the models we tested have reflective logos and patches, a great feature for running and biking.
Depending on where people like to recreate and what they like to do, an ultralight trimmed down model might be far better than a heavier fully featured one. The reason is most outdoor enthusiasts end up carrying their rain shell 90% or more of the time. As a result, all those rad features that seemed sweet in the store only add weight in the bottom of your pack.
Sizing your Jacket
Consider if you want your rain jacket to fit snugly for more active use or a little loose to allow for layering underneath? Having a loose fitting jacket gives you more room for insulation and base layers, but does it perform better one way or the other? A snug fitting jacket will maximize breathability, that is the transfer of water through the fabric away from your body. As discussed above, water vapor always wants to move from warm to cool. A snug fitting jacket will create a more uniform (warm) environment inside that promotes breathability. A loose fitting jacket better promotes ventilation. Pit zips, pocket vents, open wrist cuffs; these all move more air when a loose fitting jacket moves as you move.
Care & Cleaning of Rain Jackets
A well cared for, and clean jacket will function better and last much longer than a dirty, neglected one. First off, be kind to your jacket. Whether you stuff the jacket into its pocket or roll it away into its hood, you will prolong the performance of the DWR treatment (if you open it back up at the end of your trip rather than storing it wadded up). The less abrasion and abuse the face fabric receives, the better this will help prolong the DWR and the jackets ability to shed water.
Eventually, you will want to wash your jacket. Done correctly, washing and drying can have a miraculous effect restoring DWR and breathability, and this shouldn't be underestimated. These jackets all can be washed in the washer. A front-load machine without a center agitator is best. All fabrics with a DWR treatment should be washed in cold or warm water using a small amount of powdered detergent. Find the manufacturer's recommendation on either the jacket's label or website, and follow it; cold water and the delicate cycle is your best bet if you have any doubts. Liquid detergents and fabric softeners should be avoided, as they have components that adhere to the fabric's fibers and encourage the piece to absorb water. Choose a double rinse cycle to remove as much soap residue as possible.
Now you have a clean jacket. Any oils, dirt, grime soiling, and clogging up the waterproof/breathable layer will have been washed away, and the original breathability should be restored. Now comes the important bit. Hanging or laying your jacket to air dry is the safest technique. A freshly laundered, air dried jacket will sometimes restore a DWR that was once losing its ability to bead water. Carefully applying heat can work wonders when cleaning alone doesn't restore DWR. A dryer's low heat setting is the place to start.
Again, the manufacturer's care instructions should be consulted. A popular but riskier technique is using an iron, either on low heat or low steam. If the polymers that make up the DWR haven't worn off the face fabric completely, the dryer or iron can make them bead water like a champ again. This can be quite risky a much care should be taken to not burn a hole in your jacket.
After enough use, it will be necessary to reapply a DWR treatment to your jacket's exterior. Spray-on and wash-in treatments are available. Two-layer jackets with a mesh liner should only be treated with a spray-on product; you want the mesh liner to continue to absorb sweat and get it moving towards the outside. Either is appropriate for a 2.5-layer jacket, but we prefer spray-on products.
Here is the advanced technique for spray-on application. Wash your jacket as described above and let it air dry. Briefly place the jacket in the dryer on low heat, until all the fabric is nice and warm. Remove from the dryer, hang, and immediately spray on your new DWR. Use less rather than a more spray-on product, and with a hair dryer you've readied, accelerate the drying of the new DWR. This technique serves to both restore the original DWR that remains on the jacket and maximize the bonding of the new polymers you are applying. Nikwax and Granger both produce a full line of fabric treatments, including spray-on and wash-in varieties.
Hood Design and Applications
You should consider your intended activities with your jacket and think about its hood. Is being able to fit over a climbing or bike helmet essential? Or is it a rare-enough occurrence you can just tuck it underneath. How important is good peripheral vision? None of the jackets we tested were horrible, but there were no doubt some that were better than others.
For the climbers and cyclists reading this, we'd recommend an over the hood design. While you can wear a given model's hood underneath your helmet and that certainly works in a pinch, you'll likely find a helmet specific design is superior. It is far easier to flip on and off if it goes over the top of your helmet rather than trapping it underneath it. Besides being less convenient to put on and off, when you wear your hood underneath your helmet, it's warmer and is straight-up less comfortable than when you wear it on the outside.
History of Waterproof Breathable fabrics
The world changed for waterproof clothing in 1976 when W.L. Gore and Associates introduced Gore-Tex fabrics to the market. Gore discovered and patented the process for creating ePTFE, or expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene. This thin film contains millions of small pores, too small for liquid water, but large enough for water vapor to pass through. Laminate this thin membrane to a synthetic face fabric and voila!! The first waterproof and breathable fabrics. Today's waterproof/breathable layered fabrics include face fabrics that are laminated to membranes like Gore-Tex and face fabrics that are coated.
Gore-Tex rainwear quickly conquered the market or, in one sense, created the waterproof/breathable market. Competing waterproof fabrics coated with Polyurethane (PU) or Polyvinylchloride (PVC) couldn't compete. The first Gore-Tex fabrics were 2-layer construction; the ePTFE membrane laminated to a nylon or polyester face fabric and a mesh or thin fabric liner hung inside this layered fabric to protect it and provide comfort next to your skin. Gore quickly discovered the ePTFE membrane's pores could easily become clogged with oils and dirt though, and added another layer to the laminated sandwich, covering the ePTFE membrane with an oil resistant PU layer. This PU layer protects the pores from contamination but stops all airflow through the membrane's pores. Three-layer construction was the next big advance, and mesh or scrim was laminated to the interior of the layered fabric. This innermost layer protects the membrane and provides a better transfer of water through to the outside. As the "light is right" ethos took over the outdoor world in the 90s, 2.5-layer technology did as well. This construction incorporates, instead of laminated mesh, a texturized "half layer" printed on the inner face of the layered sandwich.
So does traditional Gore-Tex breathe? No, in the sense that air does not pass through. Yes, in the sense that liquid water passes through the inner most PU layer, and then is wicked to the face fabric through the ePTFE's pores, where it evaporates. This wicking process works best with a large temperature gradient. Water always wants to move from warmer to colder zones. Fabric that does a great job "breathing" when it's cool outside will not wick nearly as much sweat away from your body when it's hot out.
Gore's original patents for ePTFE expired in the mid-90s, and competitors, many of whom had been developing PU membranes and advanced PU coatings began to experiment with PTFE technology. Options multiplied for manufacturers of outdoor performance clothing, but Gore-Tex has maintained its dominating market share for high-end waterproof/breathable fabrics. Polartec NeoShell, eVent, are the latest ePTFE laminates. None of these technologies uses a PU layer, and as a result, all are air permeable. High performing PU membranes are popular today as well; examples include Patagonia's H2No and Marmot's air permeable NanoPro laminate. As these newer, truly breathable, or air permeable, membranes gain traction, Gore has gotten on board as well. Gore's latest version of Gore-Tex Pro is the first to eliminate the PU layer, creating the first air permeable Gore-Tex fabric. In our review of hardshell jackets, you'll find jackets intended for serious mountain activities, constructed with these advanced three-layer laminates.
Further Reading
Here is a good summary of many of the top of the line waterproof/breathable fabrics. Marmot's new NanoPro fabrics are rightly garnering much attention. Here is a good article comparing NanoPro to the new air permeable Gore-Tex Pro. For those of you interested in the history of Gore-Tex, and how W.L. Gore revolutionized the outerwear market, and perhaps discouraged further innovation, read Insane in the Membraine.

Could someone please tell me if there are any regional 'preservative-free' wines available, and where I could buy them? Thank you…
a friend of my family was producing breakfast creek wine not to far south of canberra (near bermagui/ narooma a tasty red that i beleive was free of preservatives. not 100 percent sure if he is still making it but he did win a gold bronze and a silver.
worth cehcking out if u like a good red.
Pialligo Estate…Izzy…sigh…
and speaking of Mooble…from which you may buy Tassie-made Frogmore Creek Chardonnay…a fine drop I first discovered at one of the lovely restaurants on Elizabeth St Pier in Hobart…back to the chardie…it's organic…not local…but sooo worth shipping in.
Oh, and Mooble had organic and preservative free wines last time I was in there. In Bailey's Corner arcade, Civic.
Pialligo Estate winery on Kallaroo Road, Pialligo produces some organic wines.
Does Lark's Hill do one? They are the most Botobolar-like winery nearby.
Dan here from Plonk in the Fyshwick Markets; someone needs help with local and PF wine and so I thought I'd throw our 2c (and get in a friendly plug, is that cool?)
We have wines from around 20 different Canberra and Hilltops (Young) regional wineries and unfortunately none of these produce preservative-free wines.
Plonk does stock several preservative-free and 'minimal-preservative' wines and most of these are quite close to Canberra (as krasny suggests). Of the preservative-free wines we have: Gardeners Ground Shiraz (Canowindra, NSW); Botobolar Shiraz and Chardonnay (Mudgee, NSW); Lowe Merlot (also Mudgee); and Happs PF Red (WA).
Rosnay (Orange, NSW) is another alternative – they have a large range of wines that are certified organic and use 'minimal preservatives' – which they have told us means about a quarter of the normal amount that goes in. They have a Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Vintage Sparkling, a Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, 'Triple Blend' Red, and a Rose.
we're normally open 8am-530pm Thurs-Sun and open every day leading up to Christmas 8am-530pm from Thurs 17 December through to (and including) Thursday 24 December
Botobolar Wines are from the Mudgee region, and would probably be the closest. You can get them from Candamber in Belconnen (?) I believe, but not the one in Civic. I think Mooble organic store in Civic gets them in occasionally, but if they promise to order some in for you, don't hold your breath.
For my part, I like that Dan Murphy's has bothered to group them into a section (admittedly, in with the organic wines, but it does cut down on the label-reading time), and there's so little choice that I tend to just get what's available. I like the Happs PF red and white, but they're Margaret River.
I think it's a shame there isn't more available; one of the winemakers who produces PF wines has observed that with modern bottling techniques, there's nothing stopping a competent vintner from making any wine PF, so perhaps we should draw our own conclusions about why they don't.

Always check the avalanche danger before you hit the backcountry. You can look up the forecast for the area you'll be traveling in at http://colorado.gov/avalanche , or if you're skiing or snowshoeing nearby — in the Colorado Avalanche Information Center's Front Range zone — call 303-275-5360 to hear a recording of the day's forecast.
T he University of Colorado's Outdoor Program makes backcountry safety a bargain for recreation center members: $50 for a course in avy basics.
"Realistically, if you're going in the backcountry at all, being aware of avalanche risk is huge," said Annaliese Seidel, assistant coordinator for the outdoor program.
That's why it's important for both skiers and snowshoers.
"Here in Colorado, avalanches can happen any season, after any snowfall, so it's really important to get some education. And that's one of the reasons we offer it for this discounted price."
Avalanche courses can easily top $100 — or $300.
CU offers Avalanche Level 1 throughout the winter, which includes classroom instruction on snowpack structure and stability, evaluating terrain, traveling safely and more, plus an optional class in the field on the old (closed) ski-resort slopes in Rocky Mountain National Park.
"Most of the students I run into say, 'I've skied the resorts, and this backcountry thing looks cool,'" Seidel said. "'But can I do it safely, and can you teach me how to do that?' So that's what we're going for."
All of the courses are lead by students who are at least Level-1 certified, but not necessarily certified by the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education as instructors, which is a different certification.
The added bonus, Seidel said, is the social aspect of the course.
"It's a great way to meet other people who are into this," she said. "You know that they're safe because they've taken the course as well."
The outdoor program's first course this semester is Jan. 25 to 27.
