"Unique and unforgettable."
-Booklist, starred review.
"Werlin, a deft storyteller and creative world-builder, weaves a twisting strand of faerie magic." -Horn Book
My new fantasy, Unthinkable, was released on Sept. 12, 2013. It's a companion to Impossible and Extraordinary and is about Fenella Scarborough. Paperback coming in fall, 2014!
Next, I'm writing a suspense thriller. Tentative publication: fall, 2015.
May 1, 2014. New York City. Edgar Awards. Nancy was a judge (chair: Dandi Makall, other judges: Alane Ferguson, Katherine Marsh, & Brenda Seabrooke) for the 2014 YA Edgar awards for best young adult mystery/suspense/thriller published in 2013. The five nominees are:
May 2-4, 2014. New England SCBWI Annual Conference. Springfield, MA. Teaching a 2-hour writing craft workshop on Sunday.
Sept 7-13, 2014. Highlights Whole Novel Workshop, Honesdale, PA. In a beautiful setting, Sarah Aronson and Nancy Werin will challenge you to look at your novel critically and to find openings and opportunities for revision. Come retreat with us for a week!
Nancy Werlin grew up in Peabody, Massachusetts, USA. She decided to become a writer in the fourth grade when she realized that her beloved novels didn't appear by magic—there were actual, real, living people whose job it was to write books.
"I will become an author," quoth she. "Like unto my favorite, Charlotte Bronte."
(Not having gotten far into Jane Eyre, Nancy believed it was about a little girl in an evil Victorian orphange school, similar to Miss Minchin's in A Little Princess.)
Nancy did become a writer and today all her books are published by Penguin.
But the road was not smooth. During her senior year studying English at Yale, Nancy panicked about earning a living. She learned just enough programming to land a high-tech job. She still works part-time as a technical writer. "I was Employee of the Month!"
Nancy's first novel, Are You Alone on Purpose, surprised her by being realistic young adult (YA) fiction. Her second novel, The Killer's Cousin, shocked her more by being a YA suspense thriller, and it won the Edgar award. Her suspense fiction has been praised by Sarah Weinman: "The same depth and punch as Ruth Rendell and Minette Walters… simply one of the best crime novelists going right now. Period."
Nancy returned to realistic YA fiction with her sixth book, the National Book award finalist The Rules of Survival, and then moved to fantasy with Impossible. She's followed that up with two more fantasies, Extraordinary and Unthinkable (a sequel to Impossible).
She says, "I like writing about young characters in deep trouble and lots of pain, who are pushed into a transformative experience. I think this is why, regardless of genre, everything I write is always also YA." Her books have been translated into Danish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, French, Korean, Russian, Polish, and Turkish.
Nancy has served as chair of the judging panel for the National Book Awards in Young People's Literature, and is currently serving as a judge in the YA category for the Edgar awards.
From time to time, Nancy also teaches the writing of fiction. For fun, she makes comics, which she publishers on her Tumblr.
Nancy is married to life coach and birding enthusiast Jim McCoy. They live north of Boston, though it must be admitted that Nancy mostly lives right where she always has, in her own head.

"[The] plot is irresistible ... tension is palpable .... a unique and unforgettable quest." -Booklist, starred review.
"Werlin, a deft storyteller and creative world-builder, weaves a twisting strand of faerie magic through the human realm, smoldering with sparks of romance and danger, just waiting to ignite." -Horn Book, recommended.
Fenella was the first Scarborough girl to be cursed, hundreds of years ago; and she has been trapped in the faerie realm ever since, forced to watch generations of daughters try to break the elfin curse that has enslaved them. But now Fenella's descendant, Lucy, has accomplished the impossible and broken this curse. Why then is Fenella still trapped in Faerie?
In her desperation, Fenella makes a deal with the faerie queen: If she can accomplish three acts of destruction, she will be free, at last, to die. What she doesn't realize is that these acts must be aimed at her own family. If she fails, the consequences will be dire, for all of the Scarborough girls.
How can Fenella possibly choose to hurt her own dear family—not to mention a new beloved she never expected to meet? And if she doesn't betray them, how will she save them?
Lucy Scarborough is seventeen when she discovers that the women of her family have been cursed through the generations, forced to attempt three seemingly impossible tasks or to fall into madness upon their child's birth. But Lucy is the first girl who won't be alone as she tackles the list. She has her fiercely protective foster parents beside her. And she has Zach, whose strength amazes her more each day. Do they have enough love and resolve to overcome an age-old evil?
Inspired by the ballad "Scarborough Fair," the New York Times bestseller Impossible combines suspense, fantasy, and romance to tell a story of love and family conquering all.
This is the story of two teenage girls. They are best friends, but they could not be more different. Phoebe is rich and from an important family. Mallory is poor; a nobody. Phoebe is ordinary in appearance; Mallory is stunning. Phoebe has loving parents; Mallory's single mother is mentally ill. Phoebe is kind and warm; Mallory is cynical and suspicious. Phoebe is open; Mallory lies about everything—except her love for her friend. That is real.
Also, Phoebe is human. Mallory, unbeknownst to her friend, is fey.
Mallory did not encounter Phoebe by accident. She was sent to her for a deadly purpose. She has dawdled, hesitating to act, but now time is running out, and the decision is being taken from her. When Mallory's handsome, sexy, amoral older brother, Ryland, suddenly appears, the smooth surface of their friendship explodes with all the hidden secrets, and the hidden truths, too.
Inspired by the song "For Good" from Wicked, Extraordinary tells a story about girls, friendship, vulnerability, betrayal, and the faerie realm. And also about love.
Frances Leventhal refuses to look in the mirror; she can't bear to face her reflection. She has hidden from herself and everyone around her for such a long time, and now that her brother Daniel has committed suicide, she can't help thinking that it's somehow her fault. If she hadn't been so caught up in her own pain, maybe she would have noticed her brother's. It's time to stop hiding—to reach out to Daniel's friends at their private school. Daniel had been deeply involved in Unity Service, the charitable group on campus, and Frances is determined to join the group and to make amends.
But something's not quite right about Unity, and soon Frances finds herself in the middle of a puzzle too ominous to ignore. Exactly what are the Unity members trying so hard to hide? And why does no one else on campus, adult or teen, seem suspicious of them? This time Frances won't scurry away to hide. The memory of her brother is at stake.
Matt has long since put himself in charge of protecting his younger sisters from their enemy.
Who is their enemy? It's their mother, Nikki O'Grady Walsh.
Matt's done okay. But secretly, inside, he's growing tired and hopeless. Then, suddenly, there's a possible ally on the horizon. Murdoch, his mother's ex-boyfriend, who maybe can help him get rid of his mother—for good.
Though fourteen-year-old Alison Shandling is a brain, her twin brother, Adam, is autistic. All of her life, Alison's parents have focused on Adam and what he needs, while Alison has always felt she had to be perfect.
When the rabbi's son, Harry Roth, begins taunting Alison about her brother, she does her best to stand up for herself. But when Harry is injured in a diving accident, Alison senses that he's hiding something that he wants to share with someone. And she begins to think that—strangely—she's just the someone he can share it with…
Recently acquitted of murder, seventeen-year-old David has moved to Massachusetts to complete his senior year of high school. His aunt and uncle have offered him shelter—escape from the media's questions and from the uncertain glances of his neighbors and ex-friends.
His attic apartment doesn't feel much like a shelter, though. He sees ghostly shadows at night, his aunt is strangely cold, and his eleven-year-old cousin, Lily, is downright hostile. And as Lily's behavior becomes more and more threatening, David can't help wondering why. What ugly secrets lurk within the walls of Lily's home?
There's one thing David knows with certainty. The more he learns about his cousin Lily, the harder it is to run from his own past.
Marnie is tremendously wealthy, and tremendously alone. The sixteen-year-old daughter of a superstar who died years ago, Marnie refused to take part in her oppressive boarding-school community. Nor does she have any interest in returning to Manhattan to live with her guardian, a well-meaning but stiff man named Max. She would rather burrow away in the dark, comforting world of her favorite Internet adventure game. Especially now that she has started chatting online with one of the other players, an intriguing rogue who calls himself the Elf.
But closing herself off from everyone around her doesn't mean that she's safe, as Marnie soon discovers. Kidnapped, locked inside an empty basement cell, Marnie is forced to confront painful truths about herself and her famous mother as she desperately tries to escape her jailer. Oh, how little her cyber-adventure game has prepared her for this real-life dungeon! And how she longs for just one more battle of wits with her mischievous Elf!
Eighteen year old Eli Samuels has just graduated from high school and lucked into a job at Wyatt Transgenics — offered to him by Dr. Quincy Wyatt, the legendary molecular biologist. The salary is substantial, the work is interesting, and Dr. Wyatt seems to be paying special attention to Eli. It's almost too good to be true. Is there a catch?
Eli's smart girlfriend Viv doesn't think so, but his father is vehemently against his taking the job and won't explain why. Eli knows that there's some connection between Dr. Wyatt and his parents—something too painful for his father to discuss. Something to do with his mother, who is now debilitated by Huntington's disease. As Eli works at the lab, and spends time with Dr. Wyatt, he begins to uncover some disconcerting information—about himself.

Hello, I've read that some jurisdictions require that speaker wire running in enclosed walls be in-wall speaker wire, rated CL2 or CL3. I'm open to all kinds of views on this, but I'm specifically wondering if anyone knows if this is required in Montgomery County, Maryland (or where specifically I can find this information)? Thanks! Tiger |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ya, most jurisdictions want the fire-rated jacket in the walls. In my area (Northern California) I haven't come across an AHJ who gave a rat's patoot about speaker wire rating. Call your local permitting office and ask to speak to an inspector - they will tell ya. Good Luck! |
- Posted by tigerbangs (My Page) on Sat, Feb 16, 13 at 21:34
You'll find that using conventional speaker wire isn't a good idea when running wires through walls because the insulation on most speaker wire will break down over time. CL2 and CL3 wire is easier to pull, and has 2 layers of insulation that mitigate against breakdown over time. |

Lluís Clotet Ballus was born in Barcelona in 1941. He graduated in architecture at Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in 1965 (a year after its founding) with his friends Pep Bonet, Cristian Cirici and Oscar Tusquets of PER, the design studio that is still one of the most important and original manifestations of the so-called Barcelona School. United by a common cause, the four musketeers of Catalan New Wave went on to produce witty, cerebral, refreshingly ironic architecture that epitomised the inevitable contradictions of Spain's multi-faceted critical climate at the time. Clotet's subsequent and more personal collaboration with Oscar Tusquets lasted until 1983 and resulted in major achievements like the Villa Regís and its belvedere in Llofriu (Gerona, 1970-72; widley regarded by critics as a one of the first postmodernist buildings), the Villa Vittoria on the island of Pantelleria (1972-75), the La Balsa restaurant in Barcelona (winner of the Fad Prize in 1979), the project for a high school in the district of Raval (1980-81), the restoration and extension of the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona (1981-83), the Banca de Espana in Gerona, the project for the extension of the faculty of Medicine of the Barcelona University (1979-82), and the competition project for the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt (1983). His works include the Palacio de Los Deportes n Granada (1992), the Viviendas of the Olympic Village in Barcelona (1992) and the municipal swimming-pool in Badalona (1995). Clotet taught design from 1977 to 1984, and was one of the founding partners of B.D. Ediciones de Diseño, the company for which he designs internationally acclaimed furniture and objects.

Part 2How purchasing copes with higher prices
Looking long-term
Last month our report showed that over half the respondents had changed the vendor for at least one material in the last six months mostly for corrugated packaging. But a significant number of purchasers also changed suppliers for plastic containers plastic films and paperboard all types of the two packaging materials paper and plastics that have seen the biggest run-up in prices.
In fact nearly 20% of respondents reported changing vendors more than once in the last six months for one material or another. And over 5% changed vendors more than once on more than one material! So it's obvious that packaging price increases have severely cut into customer loyalty with suppliers. At least they have for half of our respondents. The other half it should be emphasized didn't switch sources in the past six months. Some of these did indicate a change was likely in the next six months however.
Has playing the field become the best way to secure materials at the best price? PW's purchasing executives don't appear convinced of that. When asked how their company responds to packaging cost increases (Chart 1) the majority say they are seeking long-term contracts with vendors to mitigate price increases. Score one for partnerships.
Of course these answers came before they read a comment from one participant last month. In essence this purchaser complained that contracts for corrugated containers had simply been voided. With a healthy dose of sarcasm the participant noted that the corrugated paper contracts weren't worth the paper they were written on!
Other ways to save
While 54.1% said their companies were seeking long-term contracts 34.3% were actively seeking other suppliers. The second most-often mentioned tactic was to look at alternative materials. Source reduction searching for additional supply sources and increasing product prices all received significant percentages of responses.
One category those purchasers that have experienced significantly higher prices for aluminum cans runs a bit counter to the overall tactics. Of these 65.7% are looking to shift to other materials and 42.9% are looking to switch suppliers. Some 57.1% are actively trying to reduce material usage. Similarly those experiencing higher prices for glass are significantly less likely to increase product prices (16.7%).
Giving purchasers an opportunity to sound off PW asked purchasers if they were satisfied with vendor communications about increases in material and container pricing. Given the hard feelings evident in the comments to vendors we were surprised by the results. Over half 53.2% said they were satisfied. Virtually the same percentage was reported by those who had experienced big increases in corrugated prices. In fact 60% of those that have seen higher aluminum prices were satisfied with price communications from suppliers.
Not so with those experiencing higher prices for glass containers. From a smaller sample 92.9% reported they were not satisfied with the way they were informed about price hikes.
Improved communications
When asked how vendors could help improve communications about price hikes (Chart 2) PW's purchasers were definitely looking for more material options to avoid increases and also wanted more advance notice of increases. Similarly most of the purchasing executives polled wanted more documentation about the amount of price increases. In fact over half of those who reported higher steel container prices (55%) wanted more specifics.
An improved allocation program was mentioned by only a small percentage of all respondents. But of those paying significantly more for glass and aluminum containers 18.2% and 13.3% respectively asked for improvements in allocation programs.
Regardless of which materials had increased "fairness to all customers" was mentioned by between 10% and 15% with one exception. Those experiencing higher glass container costs indicated they were unhappy with how the increases were apportioned among all customers. This was an issue for 35.4% of the respondents experiencing higher glass container costs.
The price strategy
Before we look at raising finished goods prices to deal with packaging cost hikes note how purchasers responded when asked how easy it would be to raise product prices (Chart 3). Surprisingly not one of the more than 200 respondents said it would be very easy to raise their finished goods prices.
Of all participants nearly 94% reported it would be somewhere between "difficult" and "virtually impossible" to increase product prices. Of all the questions in the survey this one elicited the most uniform answers regardless of which packaging materials they are paying much more for now. Those who answered "virtually impossible" ranged from 17.1% (aluminum containers) to 26.1% (paperboard). Those who said raising prices would be "difficult" were in a narrow range of 64.3% (glass containers) to 77.1% (aluminum).
A higher percentage of participants that have seen higher prices for glass and steel containers felt it would be "fairly easy" to raise product prices. Some 14.3% (glass) and 9.1% (steel) responded that way. That compares with only 4.3% of those dealing with higher paperboard prices.
As difficult as the purchasing people claim raising prices is a surprising number of their companies have been forced to do just that.
Half of prices up
When we asked respondents if their companies had increased product prices to offset packaging cost increases the purchasing agents reported that more than half (54.5%) had not raised prices for their products. Those that report paperboard and corrugated cost increases were no more likely to have raised product prices. Respondents dealing with higher paperboard costs did not raise prices 55.6% of the time; 55% for those dealing with corrugated cost hikes said the same.
Those seeing higher costs for plastic steel and aluminum containers were more likely to have raised product prices. Two-thirds of those seeing increases for steel cans had moved prices up 53.1% of more costly aluminum users and 50.4% of respondents using more expensive plastic containers had done so.
Of the nearly half of respondents who reported higher product prices more than half (52.3%) say the price increase did not completely cover packaging cost increases. In fact only those who report higher prices for products packed in metal cans say their price increases were able to offset higher costs (53.8% for steel 52.9% for aluminum).
On the other side only four in ten reporting higher costs for glass were able to recover the costs through higher product prices. Those using plastic containers were just slightly better; 43.9% say the price hikes didn't completely cover increased packaging costs.
Prices affect sales
If as reports suggest the U.S. economy has experienced a slowdown in growth increased product prices caused by higher packaging costs may be a contributing factor. Over half of all participants who said their companies had raised product prices to offset packaging cost hikes report a negative effect on company sales (Charts 4 through 10).
The good news is that 40.7% say the higher prices had no effect on sales. The better news is that 7% say sales went up in spite of higher prices.
More than with most questions however the results vary widely between the various materials used. Every one of the companies that use glass and raised prices to offset packaging cost hikes found that it depressed sales. Thirteen of the 17 companies that raised prices of products in aluminum cans lost sales. Is this a direct correlation? No one can be sure what role the higher prices played in declining sales.
At the same time we asked respondents that reported declines to track the percentage. For most the sales declines were under 5%. Nearly 83% of respondents say the decline was 10% or less. And fewer than 3% reported sales down more than 20%. Keep in mind however that the numbers of respondents reporting these sales declines is relatively small compared to the 220 total purchasing executives surveyed.
Other changes too
Of the 91 respondents who reported making product price increases nearly 41% say their companies made other changes at the same time as shown in Chart 11. Most often the product size or quantity was changed while many also offered improvements in delivery and other services. Increases in advertising and promotion were fairly common as was a reduction in the number of the company's stockkeeping units.
However even for those companies that didn't increase their product's price a significant number of all respondents (44.4%) say they've changed packaging to add benefits for the retailer and/or wholesaler. In fact 57.1% of those who pack in steel containers say they've made improvements compared to 40% of the companies that pack in aluminum. A slightly higher percentage 46.2% say they've added consumer benefits to their packages.
Like lost sales sometimes the dynamics caused by higher packaging costs can create negative changes inside the company too. The PW survey asked the purchasing executives whether higher packaging prices affected internal operations.
Havoc for the companies
The purchasing people were asked their opinion whether higher packaging prices affected their jobs in purchasing overall plant operations or packaging operations (Chart 12). In some larger companies the question may not have been totally fair. Quite often the purchasing department is physically distant from production and packaging operations. However even in the largest companies few departments work in a vacuum and the word gets around.
In the easiest question to answer an overwhelming number of PW's purchasing people 82.8% said that higher packaging prices have had a negative effect on their departments. Another 10.8% said the higher costs have had no effect on their departments while a bit over 6% said the impact has been positive.
As you might expect the answers to this question were quite uniform. Depending on material those reporting a positive effect ranged from 4.5% for steel containers to 7.7% for aluminum. Those who said the higher costs had a negative effect were in a narrow band from 77.1% for aluminum users to 92.3% of those packing in glass containers.
When asked about overall plant operations and packaging operations in particular the range wasn't as great. Higher packaging prices had no effect on 43.6% of respondent's plant operations and a positive effect on 9.2%. However that still left 47.2% who claimed a negative effect.
The numbers and ranges were similar when PW asked about packaging operations. The negative effect registered at 49.2% of all respondents although 43.1% said the prices had no effect. Just 7.6% said the impact was positive. Those packing in glass and steel containers showed the strongest negatives at 69.2% and 54.5% respectively while half of those that pack in aluminum admitted that prices had no effect on packaging operations.
Some cutbacks too
Finally the survey asked whether the higher packaging prices had specifically caused cutbacks to the participant's company packaging departments. Frankly the results seem to suggest a modest effect at the most. We asked about cutbacks in three different packaging areas: engineering research and development and package development. (Charts 13-15).
More than 80% of all respondents said that packaging prices had not caused cutbacks to each of these functions at their companies. Considering all the dire consequences attributed to higher packaging prices throughout the rest of this report that's very good news indeed.
However for those who see that the glass isn't full it means that 13.2% say there were cutbacks in packaging engineering 16.7% in package development and 13.6% in packaging R&D.
In examining the responses by material 23.1% of those who have experienced price increases in glass containers say their companies have cut packaging R&D. But only 7.7% of those same respondents say their packaging engineering staff was cut. Despite the well-documented cost increases for aluminum cans (see PW July '95 p. 60) 90% or more of the users of aluminum cans report no cutbacks in any packaging function.
No matter how your company stacks up to these statistics it's obvious that the higher prices for packaging materials have created some major waves for purchasing people across all industries. By examining their comments to vendors it's apparent that many of them are angry and feel betrayed by vendors. Still we applaud the participants in the survey for their frank and candid assessments of how their companies are responding to higher costs for packaging materials. c

Also the online experience is must better on the 360. Yes the PS3's online is free but with so fewer users it's hard to find a good game in many games.
I will say that the PS3 is a fine piece of machinery and when I get the chance I will be picking one up to compliment my 360.
a video game system is as good as the games that you can play on it. The PS3 may have greater specs and processing power but what good are they if the software manufacturers make a game for the 360 and simply port it over to the PS3? Funny thing is that several games that have been released on both platforms have performed with better frame rates and graphics on the 360 and not the PS3. NHL08 for example runs at 60fps on the 360 and only 30 fps on the PS3. Until Sony comes out with some really major games that are PS3 exclusive the 360 will continue to be a superior system for less money.
So basically...while you are waiting for Sony to figure out what the hell they are going to do until MGS4 and a new Final Fantasy comes out 360 owners are playing games like Gears of War, Halo 3 and the like.
The PS3 is definitely a fine piece of machinery. However, not at this time. A person is better off buying a 360 right now and waiting for the PS3 to hit the $300 mark. When it gets there, probably this tiem next year, I'll pick one up. Hopefully by then they will have some decent games to play because right now all it's good for is it's BluRay player and unless you are sporting a 1080p HDTV even having BluRay is pointless.
So this is regarding the 360 version being superior to teh PS3 version?
Ok, I'll agree with that. Because the way OrangePuck stated it, it seemed like it was just a general console war.
But I'll say that I've played the 360 version in HD vs. my PS3 version in SD and the framerate looks identical whereas in Madden and NCAA i see a huge difference.
Maybe because the 360 has been out for a year? maybe because developers are used to developing games on the 360 SDK in contrast to it being their first time working with the PS3 SDK?
Where were you this past month? Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune just came out and are being praised by game websites all over. Thats only a mere preview of the games to come on the PS3. Same thing with the 360 when it first came out. All it had going for it was Call of Duty 3 and even that got boring after you beat it.
Also, I've been hearing about 360 users complaining about their copies of NHL 08 freezing all the time. My game has not frozen once.
I want it primarily for the BluRay aspect and it's ability to upconvert standard DVDs.
Xbox 360 limits it's DVD playback to 420p and I don't plan on buying the add-on HDDVD after all.
Plus Heavenly Sword and God of War 3 look awesome!
I need the ability to play all next-gen games. ALL OF THEM!!!!
I'm not sure but I would imagine that it is easier to pull a good frame rate in SD than it is to pull it off in HD.
I hear you about the Xbox 360 having this advantage because it's been out a year earlier but that is what a console war is all about. If you sucessfully launch before the other guy the developers will back you because that is how they make their money. When PS3 finally joined the next gen party another year is wasted while programmers learn that system. Meanwhile the 360 is out 2 years and it's full steam ahead. Another advantage that the 360 will have is that Microsoft can lower the price of the console making it even more attractive. More people will opt for the 360 because it's supported by so many games.
In the past there have been several scenarios where a system with weak specs has kicked the crap out of a system with superior hardware. You don't have to look far back either to see an example. The PS2 owned the original Xbox by a landslide. What you see happening now is Microsoft using is $$$ to put Sony behind the console wars 8 ball.
It's a war that Microsoft should win. I'm not going to look it up but I would imagine that Xbox is Microsoft's only losing division. Sony on the other hand has several divisions hemorraging cash so they simply can't compete with Bill Gates and his insistance that Xbox be given all the money it needs to rule any and all console wars.
Also, it was mentioned earlier that Xbox live is better than PS3 online. That is without question. XBL was launched in 2002 and is currently in their 5th year. This is an area where Microsoft should ALWAYS dominate Sony in because, well lets face it, online is what Microsoft does. A software company will always own a company like Sony because it's their expertise. Sony beating Microsoft in this area woudl be like a high school basketball team beating an NHL hockey team. Just ain't gonna happen. Microsoft will always be one step ahead.

Don't get too excited -- this isn't bringing the 5530's revamped home screen or anything awesome like that -- but Nokia has now started releasing v30-level firmware updates for its various 5800 XpressMusic product codes around the world. Despite the seemingly significant boost in version number (the last big one to go around was v21), this appears to be mainly a maintenance release focused on bugs and such -- the headlining feature so far seems to be the addition of email notifications on the home screen for Nokia Messaging, so yeah, don't expect the world from this one.

Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Arm Warmers $31.95
When a jacket is just too much.
Whether it's spring or fall, there comes a time when your windproof winter jacket is just too hot, yet your summer jersey is far from adequate. That's where the Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Arm Warmers enter the picture. They provide a greater degree of warmth than Pearl's standard Thermal Lite series of warmers, but they don't get as deep into winter as Izumi's P.R.O. Barrier line. Accordingly, they're ideal for the shoulder seasons.
The Elite Thermal arm warmers utilize Pearl Izumi's thermal fleece backing in order to assist in wicking moisture away from the skin. Additionally, relatively high loft feels luscious against the skin, and it keeps your knees toasty on chilly morning warmups. These warmers are also constructed with a slightly tighter nylon and elastane blend that provides your knees with a touch of support in addition to the requisite warmth. And to ensure that they stay in place, Izumi included a silicone bead around each hem. Lastly, you'll find that these warmers feature reflective accents throughout. This way, your visibility will be increased to motorists in low-light conditions.
The Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Arm Warmers are available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black and White.

Great QC and fabrics from Pearl Izumi -per usual.
Fit: I'm 5'10" 190 lbs with pretty big biceps. The M was long enough certainly but slightly too tight in the biceps. The L fit me better.

Sacrament Meeting Sacrament meeting is the most important meeting of the week, the one the Lord has commanded us to attend. It's a time to worship the Savior. What does that mean, to worship? It means to reverently show love and allegiance to him, to think about him, to honor him, to remember his sacrifice for each of us, and to thank him. - W. Mack Lawrence, "Sunday Worship Service," Ensign (CR) May 1991 There's a rule in acting called, "Don't play the result." If you have a character who's going to end up in a certain place, don't play that until you get there. Play each scene and each beat as it comes. And that's what you do in life: You don't play the result. - Michael J. Fox |
