The Obama campaign sent anonymice out to spread the idea that they would not only expand faith-based funding, but that they would also allow faith-based groups to "limit" their compliance with federal religious anti-discrimination statutes to those portions of their programs that receive federal funding. If you have ever worked in a social services program, you will know that the money, it mingles, and there are any number of accounting tricks and fictions that can be set up to allow a religious organization to receive federal funding, keep the fiction of non-discrimination w/r/t to, say, the two "federally funded positions" in their organization, while leveraging federal funds to expand the religious aspects of their organizations and - now, if Obama's signals are true - to discriminate everywhere BUT w/r/t to the federally funded positions.
[quote] And discriminating against neighborhood groups with ties to religion - which is what you're essentially calling for - is just as Constitutionally problematic, in my opinion, as the kind of discrimination the Bush administration is engaging in. [/quote]
Please. I criticized you for adopting the sort of "anti-discrimination" language that Christianists across the country have insisted on using to pretend that they are somehow an oppressed majority in this country (because that is what they want us to believe: that they are oppressed and discriminated against, and that they are a majority), and you swing wildly in the other direction.
Colleges and universities that take public funds are also required to abide by numerous federal anti-discrimination clauses, which private religious organizations are not required to follow. Now apparently Sen. Obama would like to allow religious groups to continue to discriminate, as long as they do not do so in their federally funded aspects. That is a scrim, a curtain, one that will basically allow religious groups to receive federal funds while ignoring federal anti-discrimination laws, and with that I will have absolutely no truck. There is either a bright-line, no discrimination in our organization, or there isn't, and if a religious organization wishes to discriminate in hiring, then it should not receive federal funds. That's not a hardship.
I have nothing against faith and community based social services organizations; I worked for one, and volunteer with and donate to another. I also volunter with and donate to secular organizations. I've also stopped donating time/money to groups whose religious purpose - IMO - overwhelmed their charitable purpose, but I can't do that if the federal government decides to give my tax dollars right back to them.
I didn't say he (hearts) Obama. I was responding to the poster's specific use of language that mirrors almost-directly the kind of language of "anti-Christian discrimination" that Sekulow has worked so hard to push into our public discourse.
<3s you right now.
I want to see a huge pledged delegate vote for the first viable female candidate at the convention, and IMO, that's not "bad" or "divisive" or mean. Jesse Jackson (and contrary to the contemporary characterization of him as a fringe candidate, he was briefly the front-runner after a suprise win in the Michigan caucuses in 1988) received about 30% of the delegate vote at the 1988 convention. It was a powerful and empowering moment - for me as well, since he was the first national political figure I had the chance to hear in person, four years earlier, when my dad took me to a Jesse Jackson/Rainbow Coalition rally on the lawn of the state capitol in Charleston, West Virginia in 1984.
I was pretty young then, but I don't recall anyone complaining about that.
dropped out of the primary race in March 2000, but didn't endorse Gore until July 2000, and didn't raise nearly as much consternation, scorn, and opprobrium as HRC did last week.
Double standards, we have them.
comment on a post Clinton Urging Her Delegates To Support Obama over 6 years ago
I will assuredly vote for the Democratic nominee come November, but I am disappointed that Senator Clinton is releasing her pledged delegates. I agree with twinmom upthread: I want to see a substantial minority of the pledged delegates vote for HRC on the first ballot at the convention - not to be divisive, but to mark the historic nature of her campaign.
Contrary to many of you, I do not think that a substantial symbolic first vote for HRC at the convention would be divisive. I think it would be history-making and I want to see it.

<quote>Look, this is all a waster of time. There are going to be 5 to 10 percent of divorced, bitter, menopausal maniacs that are not going to vote for Obama. We can live it.</quote>
Charming. Absolutely charming. Keep the sexism and ageism up and we deserve to lose the White House.
comment on a post Clinton and Obama Donors Consolidating over 6 years ago
supporters are out of step with the rank and file of the Democratic party. In fact, they have no idea what's going on out here. Evan Bayh, really? Clinton's "baggage" ? Are they still on that tired refrain? Have they not noticed that Clinton has drawn essentially half of the vote in a huge primary campaign for the presidency? Do they really think that Evan Bayh will 'unite' anyone but party insiders?
Gosh; so dumb.
Strickland, I admit, could probably deliver Ohio, which Obama will otherwise have big problems winning.
and foolish. It's about perception.
Maybe you never will.
I was being flippant with the quote; I didn't have the exact one to hand and wasn't deliberately attempting to misquote her. That said, I saw the whole thing in context, and what she said was foolish; it played directly into Republican stereotypes about Democrats, and it gives me serious pause about the committment of the party's leadership to the working class. My concerns have been reinforced by the rhetoric floating around the Obamasphere for quite some time.
And I'm not advocating that better campaign = better candidate.
Instead, I was pointing out that Obama's campaign hasn't proved adaptable, and hasn't found a way to break through the aura of elitism that has come to be a very real problem for him. His campaign hasn't performed at all well over the last two months; and that's not because meanies on tee vee said bad things about Jeremiah Wright; that stuff is a non-issue to me. And aside from Wright, the media still carries Obama's water. I'm fine with it; my candidate doesn't need their approval. She managed to inspire record turnout and win by 41 points even with the bobbleheads on television telling all the hateful hillbillies that the damn thing is over, y'all stay home now, hear?
HRC has connected strongly with a demographic the Democratic party should connect with but has had trouble connecting with over the past two election cycles.
Obama peaked in Wisconsin. If he's going to be our nominee, that concerns me and it should concern you. Something's gotta change for the better in terms of his message or messaging if we are to have the convincing win we need in November.
but it was shadow over substance - a cheap zinger instead of "good politics," and one that only serves to reinforce his image as an elitist. The last I heard, Senator Obama wants to be President of all 50 states, and I do believe that that includes West Virginia. If/when he comes back here in the fall, he'll just seem like an opportunist. By contrast, he could've shown some humility and political courage with a concerted two-day swing through the state.

Seeking to improve customer experience, Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich, Switzerland) has chosen Pegasystems' (Cambridge, Mass.) software to streamline the global insurer's commercial underwriting process.
"We aim to reduce the complexity of the work environment for our employees, which will result in us being able to better serve our customers," comments Sepp Ruchti, project leader, Business Transformation, Zurich Switzerland. "Automation of this kind will help us to become more efficient."
Zurich's commercial underwriting process encompasses both the broker and agent channel, and spans several products and includes new business as well as renewal business, according to a company statement.
"Zurich is developing the BPM solution in co-creation sessions thanks to how Pega is designed," adds Ruchti. "This approach results in a solution not only developed together with our users but also based on their specific needs. It has led to a very strong buy-in for the solution and has also meant that we have the benefit of real-time change management."
Zurich's focus on service quality is in line with Pegasystems' market objectives, according to Alan Trefler, the vendor's founder and CEO. "By putting the emphasis on customer service, Zurich will not only streamline its processes but will also be perfectly poised to build upon this for the future by building true customer loyalty," Trefler says.

It was a scary wake up call Tuesday morning for a man in a Phoenix neighborhood.
A truck crashed into his home's backyard wall, then took out a power pole near 27th Avenue and Grovers -- and we're told the driver took off from the scene.
The homeowner says the noise and his barking dog woke him up. He's not surprised to find out that this happened.
"I've been waiting for this to happen. I've been living here for over 20 years, so you know they keep getting closer and closer and closer," said David Holleran.
Salt River Project crews are trying to fix the downed power line.
Power was out at the Holleran's house and it appears that most of the neighborhood was not affected.
The driver took off from the scene before Phoenix police officers arrived, but it appears he may live in the area.

From Trek to Zune
Alumnus Brodsky Spans Early Computing Days to Latest Microsoft Products
by Kevin Rayburn
If it hadn't been for Klingons and Romulans, who knows where Mark Brodsky '88S would be today?
That's because an early fascination with those intergalactic enemies of Captain Kirk on TV's Star Trek helped steer Brodsky toward what has become a successful career as a software development manager at Microsoft Corp.
Long before he helped develop major products at the Redmond, Wash., software giant—including the Microsoft Money personal finance program and Microsoft C/C++—Brodsky dabbled in the now-quaint world of 1970s computing.
"I'm probably dating myself talking about this stuff," he says, recounting his career and his youthful days as a student at Livonia Stevenson High School in Livonia, Mich., in the late 1970s.
"Computers became interesting to me around the ninth grade, and that was from playing some text-based games, including Star Trek, on a Hewlett-Packard mainframe.
"It was pretty primitive. You would basically just choose to move in a particular direction at a certain light speed and then you would fire a weapon based on entering a certain coordinate—trying to kill Klingons and Romulans before they got you."
Pretty soon, Brodsky—who took drafting courses at the school—found his interest in architecture as a possible career choice lessening as he learned more about how computer programs worked.
"I spent a lot of time looking at the source code of these text-based games," he says. "At the time all of this stuff was done in BASIC (programming language), which was pretty easy to read."
The timing of Brodsky's interest was perfect because the school began offering a course called computer-math for the first time.
"That's where I started programming BASIC on an HP mainframe," he says. "Most of the programs we wrote used relatively simple data structures and simple algorithms. We were actually entering the data on either mark-sense cards or punch cards and everything would be submitted as a batch job and we would use a TTY printer to get our output.
"Like I said, this was pretty old school."
He then moved on to working on an Apple II, writing programs including one simulating a chessboard.
"At first we were using a cassette player for storage, so it was a big deal when we got our first floppy drive."
Brodsky remembers the whopping memory capacity.
"It was a 143k single-sided, single density floppy drive, running on a 16k RAM machine—that only had upper case (input)."
It was around this time that the presence of certain little company founded in 1975 entered Brodsky's consciousness.
"While in high school I sold computers at a couple of retail stores, so I became familiar with the software that Microsoft put out, certainly MS-DOS and all the flavors of MS-DOS that were out there for each manufacturer."
Despite a growing interest in computing, the lure of architecture still appealed to Brodsky—until he realized some harsh facts.
"The housing market was in a slump back in '81 and '82 when I was ready to graduate, so I decided I would bypass architecture and give this computer thing a whirl."
Brodsky initially enrolled in the computer science program at Michigan State University, but after a few years a program cutback at the school forced him to make a key decision.
"Rather than change majors, I changed school."
He chose to attend Speed at UofL.
"To be honest, my decision of where to go was based on proximity to family," he says. During his first months in Louisville, Brodsky was able to share cheap digs with a locally residing cousin while getting himself established at UofL.
During his Speed days, Brodsky served several co-ops at Structural Research Dynamics Corp. in Milford, Ohio.
Brodsky says he got a leg up on other students because—unlike many of his peers in the engineering math and computer science program—he was writing software during his internships.
"For me, that was playtime, and I was getting paid for it."
Brodsky wrote code that went into the company's computer-aided design and modeling software.
"I was seeing my work go into actual products sold on the market."
This training, plus Brodsky's previous experience in high school using Microsoft compilers in creating software, looked good when Brodsky went job hunting after graduation in 1988.
A job interview at Microsoft yielded fast results.
"I had just flown back from Redmond and barely had my hand on the doorknob when the phone rang with the news."
Brodsky had the job.
At that time, Brodsky says, Microsoft had about 2,000 employees. Today, it employs more than 89,000 full-time employees worldwide.
His first duty as a software test engineer was to write software that tested utility libraries.
"I would get to beat up the code before it was OK to put into another product," he says. The code Brodsky worked on went into early versions of software that would evolve into popular programs such as Excel, Microsoft Access and Word for Windows.
After two years as a software test engineer and a test lead Brodsky moved to a position of software design engineer. He then worked on debuggers, a tool used by developers to diagnose software bugs.
In that capacity he began to work on high-profile projects such as Microsoft C/C++, Visual Studio software and Microsoft Money.
Eventually, Brodsky was promoted to software development manager, leading development teams of up to 43 people.
His awards include an in-house Most Valuable Player honor for his role in developing Microsoft Money.
More recently, he was the development manager for the first edition of the Zune device, the company's media player designed to compete with the Apple iPod.
Now, as part of Microsoft's Ads and Commerce Division, Brodsky is heading up development on new software targeting mobile devices.
In recent years he joined the computer engineering and computer science department's Industrial Board of Advisors in Speed to help ensure that the school maintains high educational standards required by the corporate world.
Brodsky—whose Microsoft duties include extensive personnel recruiting—has enabled two Speed students to obtain co-ops at Microsoft and hopes to hire more.
The need for more talented engineers is great, Brodsky says, which is one reason he works with Speed to produce qualified graduates.
"There's a lot of opportunity here at Microsoft," he says. "We have thousands of open positions at any given time."
Brodsky says the advantages of working at Microsoft are many, including the satisfaction of seeing your work translate into products used by people worldwide.
"The software I've worked on during the last 20 years has literally touched millions of people," he says.
"I can go anywhere and see something that I probably had something to do with, and that's really cool."

The Oakland Raiders face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET in Cincinnati, and they will be without six players, including two big names, according to their official inactive list.
Running back Darren McFadden will miss his third straight game with an ankle injury, and defensive tackle Richard Seymour is out with both knee and hamstring injuries. Joining McFadden and Seymour on the inactive list are quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Mike Goodson, offensive lineman Willie Smith, defensive end Jack Crawford and offensive lineman Lucas Nix.
The Bengals will be without seven players, but none of them are as important to the team as McFadden and Seymour are to the Raiders. Wide receiver Andrew Hawkins, tight end Richard Quinn, safety George Iloka, defensive tackle Devon Still, wide receiver Armon Binns, defensive tackle Brandon Thompson and cornerback Jason Allen will all be out for the Bengals. Hawkins is a deep-ball threat that could be a big loss to an offense looking to exploit the Raiders' 24th-ranked pass defense.

As for the room stewards they did an excellent job also. I never actually saw her clean the room, but when I left and returned in the morning and evening, the room was always clean. Anytime I saw her in the hall, she was always friendly and called us by name. Anytime I passed a crew member, they always spoke and were very friendly.
I'm not saying the boat was not crowded. There are 4,200 people on the boat so you know it's gonna be crowded. However, you really have to use common sense. We did not go to lunch at the buffet at 12:00 because we knew it would be crowded. Just as we did not go to dinner at 7:00, we went at either 6:00 or 8:00 (my time dining) and never had to wait.
As for the boat "rocking" I have to say it did rock more than the others we have been on, but it wasn't a problem or extremely noticeable. As I stated before, I read many review before going and what fascinated me was that ten different reviewers went on the same ship at the same time and half gave it 1 or 2 stars and half gave it 4 or 5. For me and my family we had a wonderful time, no complaints and are ready to sail Carnival again :)

Made of soft cozy fleece, they are a kid's camping essential.
Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
So I created a wall banner to display some of that precious art, and it doubles as room décor, so every once in a while, when we take the art down, the banner can remain hanging in my boys' room because it matches their bedding.
1. Cut two triangles to use as patterns. The larger one is 8 inches by 11 inches, and the smaller one is 6 inches by 8 inches. Cut another flag pieces that is 4 inches by 7.5 inches with a 2.5-inch notch cut into one end.
2. Using the rotary cutter and see-through acrylic ruler, cut seven 9-inch by 12-inch double layers of muslin to make the large flags and three that are 5 inches by 8 inches to make the smaller ones. I easily cut two layers at one time. Cut six 5-inch by 8-inch rectangles for the notched flags. Choose the fabrics for each flag and cut pieces for each to stack onto the muslin layers. You will have 16 stacks of three layers each.
3. Use the cardstock shapes to trace a flag pattern on each set of three layers. Using a variety of thread colors, sew around the traced lines at least three times so that each triple-layered flag has a contrasting thread border. Cut out each flag so that there is a about an eigth-inch raw edge on the outside border.
4. All of the stars are also three layers, two layers of muslin and one layer of the top fabric piece. I wanted the star to be unique and a little imperfect, so I drew it myself and then traced it onto a rectangles of layered fabrics, stitched around the tracing, then cut out the star. Tip: Like the flags, it is much easier to stitch the star, THEN cut it out. I adhered all of these stars with fabric glue. Tip: You could do stars on every flag, monograms on some, make stripes or dots, make some "natural" and then paint on them...the possibilities are endless. Just remember that you'll be adding art that your kids will have created, and you don't want all of your craftiness to be competing with their craftiness.
That's why mine has just a few stars and only about five colors.
Cut thirty-two pieces of ribbon and sew two at the top of each banner piece with a button on each piece, making the loops one inch long. Tip: The loops need to all be the same size so that the banner pieces will hang evenly.
5. Cut two pieces of rope to four feet and five feet. Arrange the pieces, then thread them onto the rope. Tip: Use a rope that is not too smooth because you want your flags to stay where you put them and not all slide toward the center. The flags do need to remain moveable because your child's art will be changing often and the ability to rearrange is a must.
6. Add art. Add more art. Let the kids change things around. Tip: Resist the urge to try to keep it uncluttered. At least the art is off of the refrigerator now!

On Tuesday, Google offered more details about the cause of the problem and the steps it's taking to prevent it from happening again.
The cause was a "very rare" dual network failure, which brought down two separate, redundant network paths, according to a blog post from Sabrina Farmer, senior site reliability engineering manager for Gmail.
"The two network failures were unrelated, but in combination they reduced Gmails capacity to deliver messages to users," she wrote.
Over the next few weeks, Google staffers will work on bulking up network and backup capacity for Gmail, as well as on making Gmail's message delivery more resilient in the event of a network crash, according to Farmer.
"Finally, were updating our internal practices so that we can more quickly and effectively respond to network issues," she wrote.

Great Winter Coat
October 04, 2013
This coat was better than I had hoped. It fit great and also kept me warm for hours of hiking in the Iowa winter. Another plus was that I didn't get to warm when it wasn't as cold or when worn inside for awhile.Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Summit worthy!
June 05, 2009
This coat took me to the summit of two mountains. Weather conditions were less than ideal! I did appreciate past reviews on sizing. I am 5'1' and 99#. Being a mountaineer does require layering. This coat allowed me to do so without bulk.
Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero
June 08, 2010
Great, warm jacket with hood offers perfect winter experience. As with all Mountain Hardwear, this is a quality item and made to last for many years!
Great jacket for an incredible price!
October 19, 2009
Great jacket. I bought it for myself, but it does run a size larger so I gave it to my daughter in Alaska who loves it!! Loves the length and great coverage provided by the hood. She is able to comfortably layer with the jacket. Now to find one in my size.
Great Coat
November 19, 2012
Initial thoughts are that this is going to be a great coat. It is a gift for my lady. It looks like very high quality and very warm. I like that it has a hood and it appears to be a bit longer than a normal jacket. This will be great for any winter time activity or event.Pros: Build quality, Performance, Great value
awesome parka
February 10, 2010
The blue color is stunning, great fit, cut a bit longer in the back, very nice.
Awesomely warm!
March 18, 2013
I ordered this jacket for a trip to Vail. It was super warm and has a nice fit. I'm 5'6" and generally a size 6. I ordered a small, and its a little snug around my hips but not enough to cause me to dislike the jacket. I have noticed some "molting" even though I've only worn it about a week - again, not enough for me to return or dislike it. The warmth is the best part!
Great Coat
November 11, 2009
A comfortable, very light, very warm coat. The hood is the best I've had and the chin warmer is excellent. I haven't had a chance to wear it on one of our sub-zero upstate NY days but am sure it will be warm. The coat does run large and there's a logo on the chest that doesn't appear in the picture.
Price is right, definitely runs big
June 19, 2009
As most of the other reviewers said, this jacket definitely runs big. I'm almost always a solid Medium so I bought the Medium thinking that it would work out perfectly for layering underneath for mountaineering. Had to return it and get a Small though, which is perfect even with all of the layers underneath (long underwear, fleece, and shell). Got the Lemongrass color and LOVE it. Though it doesn't have the waterproofing like the Sub Zero Jacket, the price on this Parka is much more affordable! Would definitely recommend.

I am 5'3" and I usually wear a women's large or x-large. This jacket literally swallowed me! I will probably order a medium in this jacket for it to fit properly. But it will definitely keep me warm and I love the lemongrass color
Great Value for the $$
March 01, 2010
Bought this for my wife (so she would stop taking my Subzero hooded jacket). She is 5'6", 115 lbs, 34C, the Small fits her pretty snug in the shoulders and chest, but it isn't too small. The blue color is very attractive. She's happy with it, and I got my down jacket back!
Really, really, warm
December 01, 2012
Bought this for wear as a transient who travels a lot and needs tough, unbulky protection to survive Northeast winters on the streets and in airline luggage. The jacket hasn't exactly been pampered. Yes, it's down, and yes it occasionally gets rained on, but so far the coating has kept the feathers fluffy and I've stayed warm. External shell has held up well. Terrific fit, pockets where you need them. This jacket is warm, even when standing around, without being bulky or constraining movement like a longer coat does. Did I mention that this jacket is warm?Pros: Build quality, Performance, Ease of use
Love the jacket!
April 06, 2010
Great jacket. Great color. Love the added length for warmth. Keeps your hips warm. very pleased with the jacket and the price!
Nice down jacket
February 19, 2012
The jacket is very warm. It is cut nicely with a good fit, but it is small over the hips/butt area. Other than that I really like it. I have longer arms and it fits my arms nicely. A keeper!
Great jacket...runs a bit big
May 27, 2009
Love this jacket. Warm, cozy and lightweight...although it runs quite a bit bigger than another Mountain Hardwear jacket I own. But it's worth it to have some butt coverage! Please do buy from Altrec; their customer service was outstanding. Someone in distribution had screwed up, and my jacket wasn't going to arrive in time for my trip to Peru...but customer service worked for most of a day and FedEx'd the jacket to my connecting plane flight. It was at the gate in Atlanta when I arrived! Way beyond the call, and many thanks, since nights on Lake Titicaca were in the 30's.
Great Jacket
December 09, 2010
Excellent for cold wintery days in the east coast. Keeps you warm and cozy on the slopes and night outs in town. Overall very happy with the purchase.Pros: Build quality, Performance, Great value
i like it
July 01, 2011
This clothes is very warm fit and light,the color is also very brisk,Compression is very good?It is very appropriate to wear to go hiking,my friends all have praised its good?Pros: Performance, Cons: Wears quickly
Great Jacket
February 15, 2011
I love it! Got this as a Christmas present and immediately fell in love with it. Fits great and it feels cozy and warm even in cold temperatures. Can't wait to take it to Montana to test it during skiing.
Great quality jacket - very warm!
March 06, 2012
I bought this jacket in Oasis Blue and get lots of compliments. I am a big fan of Mountain Hardware and this jacket meets the quality expected of the brand. The jacket is really warm and true to size. I bought a large and it fits well and is roomy enough for a big sweater underneath but still has shape. I am 5'11" and 160 pounds. Great features of the coat are the soft fleece lined inner collar and pockets, detachable hood, warmth and style. The jacket is actually a little too warm at times, the only improvement I would suggest is pit zips for ventilation. One thing that is not clear from the description and pictures is that along the arms the material changes from soft nylon to tougher panels in areas you might rub against things that could rip your coat.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Great value
December 11, 2009
Today I rode my bike in 25 degree windy weather and stayed warm. This coat is very light and warm and not at all bulky. Too add to the other sizing comments - I am 5'6" 140 lbs. and the medium fits me well. But another key factor is hip size. The coat fits me well(hips = 39"), comfortably snug around the hips which is nice for preventing drafts. A 5'4", 140 lb. friend with wider hips (41") tried it on and couldn't pull it down over her hips when zipped. She would need to go with the jacket instead of the parka.
Nice features but poor cut
April 28, 2009
I bought this jacket hoping it would be a nice throw-on to keep me warm all winter. Although it's very light and warm, with some nice technical features (zip-off down hood, ripstop fabric, two-way zippers, fleece-lined pockets, hem drawcord, inner pocket & stuff sack) the cut was too untailored to be comfortable for anything other than lounging or hiking. Usually I wear a size S or M, and decided to get the M in this jacket, which ended up being way too huge in the chest/main body, but just right in length & arms. (I'm 5'7" 128 lbs.) So unfortunatley I'm returning it. If you don't mind the marshmallow look, it might be OK, just go on the small side!
not for me
February 21, 2013
This jacket is oddly shaped. Very narrow in the hips. I wonder who designed it? There is no two way zipper, so you cannot sit in a car with it on. I live where it can get very cold in the winter, with alot of wind. I felt that there was not enough down in the sleeves to keep me warm. But I have have had that problem with evey jacket I have tried this year.Cons: Bad design
toasty warm!
March 17, 2009
I absolutely love this jacket - it is very lightweight,super comfortable and incredibly warm. Easy to move around in. Have had a few stray feather come through, but not many. I am average - 5'6" an 120# and ordered a small which fit perfectly. Highly recommend!
Nice coat, but not for curvey women.
December 28, 2009
I'm 5'2, 120 pounds with a small frame on top and wider hips. I got a size small and it was huge on top and a little snug around the hips. I looked like an upside down triangle with it on. I wish it fit because it is a great deal, and it's sooo warm.
very warm!
January 16, 2010
it's the best coat, I've ever had!!!!!
Warm enough for the city, not gonna cut it in the mountains...
March 30, 2010
This is a very cute jacket, and will work on a cold wintry day in the city; but this jacket just isn't puffy enough for mountaineering. For sizing: an extra small fit me pretty much perfectly (it was a little snug on my hips, but totally worked). My measurements chest:33, waist: 28, hips, 38
December 25, 2011
fits perfectly everywhere but the hips. Im 5'2 135 so a medium is too long in the arms and everywhere else but the small is too tight in the hips, other than that this jacket is so warm and durable, great find!
I`m excited
December 16, 2010
Got my new MHW Sub Zero Parka two days ago. What should i say? I love my new jacket. Nice colour (bramble) and an absolute lightweight in relation to the warming effect. I hope it works in our cold northnorwegian winter. I`m 5,71 ft. , 152 lb and have small hips and my jacket size medium fits perfect. Women with wider hips should maybe chosse a size large.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Good down parka
February 14, 2011
This parka is supposed to keep you warm in sub zero temperatures, but I didn't test it in that type of weather. It did feel warm and comfortable at 32F though. Build quality is very good and small things are well thought through. The best feature compared to other down jackets is that it is really a parka and its length is exactly what I wanted. About 2 inches longer than average down jacket. It doesn't have good water protection and the fabrics looks thin, but I think it it adequate. You don't want to put a backpack and hike wearing that parka. One thing I want to mention that it doesn't look like designed with women's body in mind. I'd rather call it a "unisex" parka. The bottom line: it is nice looking, well designed, light, warm and comfortable. I wish they have more colors to choose from and a bit lower price.Pros: Build quality
May 25, 2013
I'm 100% satisfied. The Hunker Down Parka is a perfect fit for my 5'7" 125 lb. frame. The most exciting thing is that the sleeves are long enough for my long arms. I like the soft black color, the longer length, and two bonus features: adjustable wrist fit and the can't-get-lost-in-the-casing hood cords. The jacket is soft, which allows for ease of movement.Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use
toasty puffer
May 18, 2009
A purchase for my wife: 5'8"/ 130 / slender torso / broad shoulders & long arms - size M. She gets cold & this thing keeps her warm. She like the Lemongrass colour & it's easy to see to pull out of the pack. The hood & length sold her the parka over the jacket, though the greater water resistance of the latter was desirable. Fit: bulky, but hey! it's a puffer. Typical MH cut - shorter, squarer & fairly trim (though you can't tell just how much, of course), with nicely lined pockets, good draws, etc.. Fabric is not shiny, like some. Bottom line: Warm enough to lower the rating on your winter bag if you wear it to bed. Caveat: MH fabric is light & catches easily. Don't be upset if you find a run or two after an extended outing.
Great jacket
February 05, 2012
I like this jacket, it's super warm, it seems well-constructed and pretty durable for a down jacket that isn't super expensive. I'm 5'5" and 125 (athletic build) and a small fits me perfectly, I have a longer torso so I usually have a problem with jackets being too short on me (this is a parka so that's not an issue) but overall it fits really well. I haven't had it that long so I can't comment on the durability but I bought it on sale as a jacket to throw in my pack on backpacking trips in case it gets pretty cold, I've worn it on my daily dog walks (~2 miles) this week (~30 degrees and 35 mph winds) and it was plenty warm. I'll be taking it to Alaska in a few months so we'll see how it holds up...
great Jacket
February 07, 2010
Great jacket, warm, comfortable but not bulky. It actually fits your body pretty well. It is Not like most of the jackets that typically cover to your waist. It is a little longer and has your hips covered. These few inches make a huge difference to keep you warm!
Best Coat EVER!
October 08, 2009
I could not be any more happy with this coat! It is perfect in every way! I am 5 foot 7 and the length of the small actually is long enough for my torso. It is so warm, durable, light weight, and well made. Love it, will have it forever!
warm enough to melt your heart...
January 29, 2010
I live in Wisconsin and work outdoors part of the day. I needed something super warm, long enough to cover my bum, and with a hood. The Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero met all of my expectations. One minor thing lacking, though...I own three other MH jackets, and all of them have a zip chest pocket on either the outside, inside or both. This jacket has neither and I have to unzip the jacket to access my cellphone, which I keep in the inside hip zip pocket. Other than that, it is A-1!
November 11, 2013
Have not used back packing yet but needed a warm down coat for upcoming trip in Northern California. This jacket fit well, is very cozy and I am able to move well. I hope to be nice and toasty in the evening and am 20 degree cold.
Good purchase!
February 03, 2013
I bought this jacket because I needed something warm but not too bulky. It's very lightweight and warm, though I have been wearing it during a southern California winter! I get cold easily, so it's pretty perfect. I'm 110 lbs., 5'4 and have a petite frame. The jacket reaches almost mid-thigh, and that extra coverage really helps. I wish that the hood was detachable, but it's not a deal breaker. The one thing is that the nylon outer shell generates a lot of static and it's a bit of a nuisance. The jacket size is on the larger side, but it's not a problem and is conducive to layering.
Great coat!
March 02, 2009
This coat is really lightweight but very warm. It fits well and looks great!

Re: straight a plow id help
thanks to all who can help
Re: straight a plow id help
I don't have pictures of the possibilities either. I'd have to try to find something in a manual. If I did, then I'd have to scan it. The pictures I have don't really show the differences. The A-192 evidently came with the spring. I don't know if any came on the A-92 but there was a package to backfit the spring onto both the A-91 and A-92. The tilt on the rear rockshaft of the A-91 requires a wrench. The other two had a crank adjust.

Robert Capa's Vintage Prints on Show at Paris Photo
At Paris Photo this year, as a centennial celebration of Robert Capa's life and work, Daniel Blau will present a collection of more than 65 rare vintage pictures documenting World War II in Europe from 1943-45. Born on 22 October 1913 as Friedmann Endre Ernő in Budapest, Hungary, Robert Capa was one of the most famous photojournalists and war photographers of all time. Having covered the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Second World War, he co-founded Magnum Photos in 1947, with Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, David Seymour and William Vandivert. As a Magnum photographer he documented the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 and the final stage of the First Indochina War, in which he died a violent death at the age of 40. In addition to the Capa collection, Daniel Blau will also organise an exhibition of images depicting Germany's "misled youth" during Hitler's rule from 1933 to 1945. The exhibitions will be on display from 14-17 November 2013 at the Grand Palais, Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris.

Manfrotto Launches Revamped 190 Tripod Series
Manfrotto updated its 190 Tripod Series with a range of additional features. One of the most innovative aspects of the new 190 is the mechanism to operate the new 90° column. It is accessed only when needed and with a quick 'one finger' operation at the bottom of the centre column, the mechanism appears from the main casting of the tripod allowing the column to tilt. Both the new column mechanism and four-leg section models have a more compact closed dimension which allows for easier portability. The also-new Rotating Levelling Bubble is quick to set up and allows the tripod to be positioned more precisely. It is easy to use, whatever the shape of the head or however the tripod is set up. The revamped 190 is available in aluminium and carbon-fibre versions, at prices ranging from £184.95-£359.95.
Zeiss Otus 1.4/55
Zeiss has officially announced the upcoming launch of its new 55mm f/1.4 lens, the Zeiss Otus 1.4/55. Otus is the Latin name for a type of owl known for its excellent vision in darkness, so the product name hints at the remarkable low-light capabilities of the new lens. Indeed, Zeiss claims that the Otus 1.4/55 "creates the highest-possible image quality, even with an open aperture." Other unique features of the Otus 1.4/55 are its high image contrast all the way to the edges (even for low f-numbers) and the consistent high-resolution performance across the entire image field. The optical formula incorporates a floating elements design with 12 elements in 10 groups, including a double-sided aspheric lens element and six elements made of special glass with anomalous partial dispersion. The Zeiss Otus 1.4/55 will be available for Nikon (ZF.2) and Canon (ZE) mounts, starting at the end of October in all global markets. The recommended retail price will be €2,940 or US$3,999.

Keith Rexroth receives Panhandle Outstanding Service to Ag Award
Keith Rexroth, who farms near Sidney and has a passion for conservation, has been recognized with the annual University of Nebraska-Lincoln Panhandle Research and Extension Center Outstanding Service to Panhandle Agriculture Award.
The award was presented to Rexroth Tuesday (Aug. 6) at the High Plains Ag Lab field day near Sidney.
Rexroth is a longtime supporter of agricultural research in the High Plains. A member of the High Plains Ag Lab Advisory Board since 1973, he chaired the committee to raise funds for a new headquarters and laboratory building. Ground was broken on the project at the Aug. 6 open house. He also served on the board of the USDA Agricultural Research Service station at Akron, Colo.
A well-known figure in statewide conservation circles, Rexroth has served on the South Platte Natural Resources District Board of Directors since 1993, including a stint as chairman. He has been the NRD's delegate on Panhandle Area Development District (PADD) and Panhandle Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D). He served eight years on the Nebraska Association of Resource Districts Information and Education Committee, including five years as chair. He was named NRD Director of the Year for Nebraska in 2005.
He was appointed by the governor as advisor for the Three-State Cooperative Agreement on the Platte River. He also served on the Nebraska Natural Resources Commission and volunteered in classrooms for 15 years.
Rexroth also has a long involvement in ag leadership positions, both on the local and state levels. In 1983-84 he received the Outstanding Young Farmer Nebraska award. And he served for 10 years in state management for Outstanding Young Farmer program, during which time there were seven national winners from Nebraska. He served on the Dalton Co-op Board, and in the mid-1990s served two years as the Mid-States Advisory for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Chief Pearlie Reed. He has been Cheyenne County Extension Board Chair and South Panhandle Chair. He served two years on the UNL Chancellor's Advisory Board, and was vice president and held other offices on the Nebraska Wheat Growers.
Rexroth organized the Tri-State Ag Summit, which included the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the agriculture directors from Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado.
Rexroth has worked to pass on his love and knowledge of agriculture, volunteering in classrooms for 15 years and hiring high-school and college students to work on the family farm, a "classroom without walls."
The Outstanding Service to Panhandle Agriculture Award is given by Panhandle Research and Extension Center faculty in recognition of a person or group who has provided outstanding service to Panhandle agriculture. Award criteria include value of work done or cooperation with UNL specialists or educators; leadership in agriculture; community service other than agriculture; and level of impact on Panhandle agriculture.

The year 2011 was a pivotal year for the New York Islanders, but it's not clear if it will be remembered as the year a new generation of players committed to the club's success, or the County it...
The New York Islanders named Mark Streit their 13th captain and the first Swiss captain in the NHL. Meanwhile, another Nassau Coliseum half-proposal surfaces.
On a day when the New York Islanders are celebrating the locking up of a franchise center in John Tavares, NBA Nets minority owner says he hopes they join him in Brooklyn.
Interesting. Regarding the speaking out on the referendum by one of the NIFA members.
Among general sports fans, the New York Islanders have an image problem that traces back to Mike Milbury and that cursed Nassau Coliseum.
In the aftermath of the Nassau Coliseum referendum defeat, New York Islanders owner Charles Wang issued a statement to focus on Long Island and the upcoming season.
The New York Islanders are tied to Nassau Coliseum for four more seasons, so public statements by New Jersey Nets and Barclay's Center officials don't clearly indicate future intentions.
Wrap-up of coverage of the Nassau County coliseum referendum defeat, plus news on Mike Mottau and Evgeni Nabakov.

At the 2012 Accenture Match Play tournament in Arizona, one of the semifinal matches has already been set for Sunday.
In the final match in the Ben Hogan bracket, No. 6 seed Hunter Mahan knocked off No. 4 seed Matt Kuchar by winning six holes to Kuchar's five in 13 holes. Kuchar bogeyed on holes 3, 5, 7 and 10 while Mahan made par on all four.
Meanwhile, in the Bobby Jones bracket, No. 10 seed Mark Wilson advanced past No. 9 seed Peter Hanson. Wilson took five holes to three through 15. Hanson got off to a rough start right away with a bogey on the first hole, a par-4. He settled down after that and the two men matched one another for the next nine holes. They stepped to the 10th tee tied at 2-2 before Hanson bogeyed on back-to-back holes on 10 and 11 while Wilson made par on both. A bogey by Hanson on hole 14 sealed the win for Wilson.
Wilson and Mahan will face off in one of two semifinal matches on Sunday. Rory McIlroy and Sang-Moon Bae are currently tied at two holes each through 10 in the Gary Player bracket quarterfinal, while Lee Westwood is 3-up on Martin Laird through 10 holes in the Sam Snead bracket quarterfinal.

On September 3, Alabama WR Kenny Bell (not Nebraska WR Kenny Bell) tweeted that he was "hanging up his cleats" and focusing his attention on his kids. Sounds a lot like retirement, huh?
That caught plenty of folks by surprise, not the least of whom was Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban, but hey, that's what Bell decided, right? Well, it took some massaging, but Saban convinced Bell to come back, and now he's back on the field doing big things for the Crimson Tide.
Here's Bell incinerating Texas A&M safety Clay Honeycutt:
That touchdown gave Alabama its first lead of the game at 21-14 and quieted the raucous Kyle Field. Also, if Kenny Bell was upset about playing time, he likely earned himself plenty more with that play.

Robert Griffin III answered Andrew Luck's touchdown pass with a beauty of his own late in the second quarter. He rolls out and hits Santana Moss in the corner of the end zone with a defensive back in man coverage.
That put the Redskins on top 14-7, which is where things stand after two quarters of play.
Watching RGIII vs. Andrew Luck is a treat for football fans. You might get fooled into thinking this is what football looks like all the time.

|Ohio farmers encouraged to apply for 2013 Ag-LINK Program
|Wednesday, February 06, 2013 4:39 PM
COLUMBUS - Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel announced today that Ohio farmers can submit online applications for the Ohio Treasury's 28th year of the Agricultural Linked Deposit Program (Ag-LINK). Farmers must submit their application by Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 5:00 PM.
"Ag-LINK is an important program and I encourage Ohio farmers to participate," said Treasurer Mandel. "Agriculture is a vital component of Ohio's economy, and this program is one way that the state helps farmers invest in things like feed, seed, fertilizer and fuel. The interest rate reductions on agricultural loans and lines of credit that we offer help Ohio farmers make the most out of their harvest and start the season out on a strong financial footing."
As part of the State Treasurer's continuing efforts to leverage technology and streamline operations, Ag-LINK has been modernized and improved through recent legislative changes. The maximum individual loan limit that was originally enacted over 25 years ago has been updated to account for rising costs for inputs, such as feed, seed, fertilizer and fuel. Beginning with the 2013 Ag-LINK application, the maximum amount of an individual loan has been raised to $150,000 from $100,000. The legislature also updated the total funds made available for Ag-LINK in 2013 to $165 million, up from $125 million.
Also this year, lenders will complete and submit the program application exclusively online. The Treasurer's office is working to make the program easier to navigate in order to better serve both the lenders and the farmers taking part in Ag-LINK.
In order to participate in Ag-LINK, farms must be for-profit with their headquarters and more than half of their operations maintained in Ohio. To qualify, a farmer must apply and be approved for an operating loan or line of credit from a farm credit lender or an eligible bank. After approval, the applicant may apply for an interest rate reduction from the Ohio Treasury's Ag-LINK program.
Below is the timeline for the 2013 Ag-LINK program:
* Ag-LINK applications must be received by the Economic Development Department at the State Treasurer's office no later than 5:00 PM on Wednesday, March 13, 2013.
* Once the application process has been completed, notification of each application's status will be sent to each lender no later than Friday, April 5, 2013.
* The State Treasurer's office is requiring lenders to confirm acceptance or denial of the linked deposit for each application they have submitted by Friday, April 12, 2013. This is only to confirm that the borrowers will participate in Ag-LINK.
* Requests for funding will be accepted from Monday, April 15, 2013 through Wednesday, June 26, 2013. All funding must be completed by Friday, June 28, 2013.
Detailed information on the program and eligibility requirements can be found by visiting the State Treasurer's website at www.OhioTreasurer.gov/AgLINK or by calling the State Treasurer's Economic Development Department at (800) 228-1102 (Option #3).
